The only other objects in the room besides herself were the hologram equipment. She pushed her glasses up on her nose calmly and deliberately as the machinery booted up, purring in the way only a machine could. While age had worn away much of her youth, the woman's beauty could still be imagined. She had grey eyes that might have once been soft and mysterious but had turned cold and hard. Her hair was streaked with white strands, prominent against the deep black, pulled back into a professional bun. Her attire was strictly professional, giving off the vibe of a traditional police sergeant. Despite her appearance of having seen her fair share of battle, this woman still maintained a kind and just enough heart to be put in charge of the New York City teams. The machines signaled their start-up, lighting up the space before her with realistic holograms of a debriefing room. She was slightly disappointed she could not meet the candidates in person, a meeting she would be attending directly after her conference took precedence over her new position. Empty chairs belonged to those who had not yet managed to arrive at the NYC Head Quarters, and would have to be briefed at a later time. Glancing to her right was the hologram of a young man, slouching against a wall invisible to her eyes.<br/><br/>""Welcome volunteers, my name is Clarisse Nightshade and I will be your directing officer for as long as you are in the program. I must apologize for my absence, a matter has arisen that I must attend to personally, but rest assured that you will be seeing more of the real me in the future. Some of you many recognize another candidate from working previous jobs in similar areas but introduce yourselves anyway. As you know, many of your allies have gone missing or insane, some even found dead. Your safety against this unknown threat is being taken very seriously, which is why you will be sorted into two teams based off of strengths and weaknesses. For the time being not all of the participating members have arrived from their previous locations so missions will be carefully selected if at all. Take this time to get to know each other whether on the same team or not, you may find yourself in need of their help in the future. This may also be a good opportunity to get in some personal training and group exercises in before a field test, it is crucial to know how to work with one another."" Clarisse shifted her gaze to the man standing beside her hologram, whose eyes were still closed as he leaned up against the wall. ""This man here is Cade Johnson. He will give you a tour of what you need to know about the facilities while you get settled in. Mr. Johnson, I leave them in your capable hands."" The hologram equipment shut down and the image of the woman disappeared, leaving behind Cade and the group of Guardians he would be protecting.<br/><br/>Cade pushed away from the wall, his black outfit a complete contrast to the crème colored wall behind him, and stuffed his hands in his pockets. His eyes opened slowly to reveal the red irises underneath his eyelids, a sly smirk curling the edges of his lips. ""Well then... Who wants to see an Angel at work?"" His voice was silky smooth as he spoke, a left over habit from his player days."
10,The Guardian Angel Project,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17842-the-guardian-angel-project,['Casual'],2014-03-30 04:40:00,The_Full_Spektrom,"Thomas smiled as Cade, the man whom the new director introduced, stepped off the wall and spoke out to them. Charming as Thomas may be, this man was definitely more charming, as even his voice was smooth. Sort of a soft, cream, kinda like the walls. A lot like chocolate. Thomas found himself leaning back in the chair and looking at the cieling. He turned back to Cade as the commotion around him picked up with Guardians introducing themselves to one another-- those who already didnt know each other, anyway. As Thomas was relatively new to the Guardians than most people, he had yet to actually meet any of the ones that were in this room. But that didn't matter. What held Thomas's attention now was the shifting wall behing Cade and the fact that Cade was staring straight at him. ""What are you afraid of, Thomas?"" The silky voice became oddly dark and retained a short lived echo behind it. ""Show us your fears."" Blood started pouring out of Cade's eyes. SLowly, but still pouring nonetheless.<br/>Thomas snapped up from the chair. His ""power"" as the officers liked to call it, was driving him insane. Almost quite literally. Well, actually, it WAS indeed literally. Thomas's curse, as he liked to call it himself, was to be able to make any person bring their fears to life within their own mind, and to feel any pain that would have come from the fear actually existing. Enough exposure, and the foe would start to go insane. Eye contact increased the exposure rate, but simply being around Thomas when he willed the power to flow out would be enough to make any person mad.<br/>But he could not stop it from affecting himself. He did not get the fears coming to life the same way it did to others, nor did he get the pain that the others would, but the ability eventually caused him to develope dementia, insomnia, and to start to go insane.<br/>The upside to this, however, was that he had been extremely charismatic all his life, and knew how to keep attention either on himself or away from himself. When he would feel a bout of madness coming on, he was able to either get away from the crowd or draw attention away from himself long enough to keep others from noticing. But recently, it had been getting harder to do so. He would soon have to confide in, at the very least, the Angel to make sure someone was around to keep him from slipping into madness, as it had gotten harder and harder to fight it off, as his passing out moments ago had proven.<br/>'Oh well,' Thomas thought to himself. 'Looks like its time to start the introductions.'"

It had been having issues ever since she was exposed to a nearby explosion on a previous mission. Due to the recent reassignment she had not yet had time to get it repaired. After ten minutes with no luck she became frustrated and frantically turn it off. She also turned off the left one so as to not alter her balance. Finally with her full attention, Sophia listens to the other candidates introductions as she tries to follow the voices with her eyes. Ever since she was blinded she worked very hard to rely on all her other senses and put in equal effort into appearing normal when in social situations. Trying to point her eyes at the nearby voice and looking slightly higher to hopefully make eye contact. It's been successful for the most part though she doubts anyone who has knowledge of her condition would mention anything if she ended up staring at their nose or forehead.<br/><br/>Sophia was excited to be working with other ""altered"" people. Only working with the common human made her slightly uncomfortable, despite how social and welcoming they are. She had only met a couple others prior and they disappeared within a week. Now that she will be working with many others for an extended time, she looks forward to understanding the others. With her blindness Sophia gained an new respect and enjoyment in people's voices. She quite liked the smooth voice of Cade with her natural hearing. Sophia sat upright, legs crossed with her hands folded on her lap as she registered each voice to their owner as they introduced themselves."

It was his best trait after all and so he aimed to at least know everyone's names. As the hologram said, Flint might have to rely on one of them in the future. As he continued to talk he adjusted his shirt, wondering if there would be a different kind of uniform for this elite group. The man in front of him commented about if they would be getting uniforms for the group and Flint shrugged 'Whoops' He thought to himself as he had accidentally planted the idea into the mans head. He walked away as he felt happy with the group, they all seemed like they could handle themselves if the time arose and so Flint went to sit down to rest. He moved his holster on his hip to the side as to sit down more comfortably."

He was an Angel, so she knew he had abilities worth noting, but his attitude seemed too cocky. She expected someone more...serious...to be their leader. Nevertheless she decided to hold off on her judgement of his character until she saw him in combat. If he proved to possess the skills, she wouldn't care what his attitude was like.<br/><br/>She looked around at the other volunteers, trying to judge what they were like. There was quite a number of them, all from different walks of life. She wondered how such people so different from one another could get along as a team. When it was her time to introduce herself, she simply supplied her name and returned to the book she was reading. Small talk annoyed her. She believed one could only truly know another when they have fought alongside each other. She was impatient for the tour to get started so that they could get to work soon."

Sure she had 'volunteered' for this, but she hadn't been incredibly excited for it. She had her reasons though, and she planned to see it through. She heavily sighed as Clarisse droned on, wishing that this would hurry up and be over with so they could get moving. Not that she was looking forward to the next part, she wasn't a people person. Never was, and likely never would be. As far as she cared, everyone here was just an ally, not a friend or companion. Just someone to be used so they could get the next mission done.<br/><br/>Finally Clarisse finished her little speech and Cade walked up on the stage.<b>""Oh great, it's a kid.""</b>She stated to herself, obviously not liking the fact that Cade was obviously younger than she was and there was a chance he was going to give her orders. Not cool on any level. It didn't matter if he was a so called 'angel' or not. She didn't like taking orders from people younger than she was. Granted, Cade wasn't that young so she could possibly warm up to him with time. She was, however, curious as to what exactly this guy could do. She stood, purposefully causing her metal legs to make a loud noise against the floor as she did so.<b>""Alright, 'angel' show us what you can do.""</b>She said with obvious skepticism."

But the purple eyes and hairstyle make it to obvious that it is Rao. But opposed to being focused the man was looking intently at the ceiling..Rao was lost in thought, clearly his interest lied elsewhere. In the air he seemed to be writing? But what was it, clearly it was some sort of equation. The entire speech, brief, whatever was clearly of no influence. Rao was stumped he went wide eyed as he turned his head as he seemed confounded, he marked his equation out of the air and looked at the air accusing it for the error.<i>Wait in public. Meeting. Rude.</i>He snapped to attention trying to play off his distraction.<br/><br/>No sooner had he refocused had the holographic woman faded from view....<i> Probably going to wish I had listened to that.</i>The other individual was quite, cheeky, he tilted his head bringing a hand to his chin.

Then he noticed one particular person.<br/>""Ah, Freya."" He said, walking over to the woman. ""it has been too long."" He knelt down just a bit, tooker her hand in his, and kissed it lightly before standing back up. He had met her before on one mission, but that was quite some time back and he had not really seen her since. ""How have you been?""<br/>As he was talking, he couldn't help but notice that, in his own mind, her hair was starting to.... slither? Thomas quickly rubbed his eyes, trying to clear the visions.

He didn't know how to approach these strangers, or even what to say, he kept himself busy with some metal dust he had on hand. Using his powers, he made the powder follow his finger, it trailed through the air like a river of steel. He then started to make swirling motions with his finger, and the river of metal became spiral. He kept playing around with the powder, making all sorts of shapes to keep himself occupied, a smile appearing on his face as he played around."

With a sigh he let his hands fall to his sides, growing more serious as he did so. ""If it's a show you want this is neither the place, nor am I the person to do it."" He began walking towards the exit, pausing to turn and address the guardians once more. ""You've all had a moment to say your hellos to each other. Get up, we're going on a field trip. If you really want to see me at my best, I'm going to need a little help."" He motioned for all of the Guardians to stand and follow him through the door, biting his lip in anticipation. Cade was always looking for an excuse to spar with her, though he hadn't had the time as of late. His job was to watch the newbies, but if they wanted proof of his power, who was he to deny them.<br/><br/>The fragments of the shattered weapon fell to the floor, pale green eyes watching the wooden splinters of her sword fall. ""Is there anyway you can do this without breaking the equipment?"" The voice belonged to a man in a white lab coat with a clipboard in his hand. It wasn't the first time he had watched this girl completely destroy both her target and her wooden practice blades. He could never tell if she were doing this to him on purpose or if she really didn't know how to hold back, and her nonchalant shrug didn't help clarify either. Dropping the broken weapon Silvia reached around to the back of her head to pull her ponytail tight, a couple of white strands falling to frame her face. ""How many?"" She asked, her voice light in pitch but effectively emotionless. ""Excuse me?"" The male scientist looked at her with a confused stare, unsure of what she was talking about. ""Tests. How many more tests do you have for me? I'd like to start my daily workout soon, if you don't mind Dr. Miles."" Dr. Blake Miles exhaled in a way that many would have perceived as defeat. He was silent to himself, those who knew him would assume he was having an argument in his head. Suddenly he was standing up straight with a renewed fire. ""Just a couple more, Silvia dear. Why don't you skip the work out today so we can test your stamina in combat."" Silvia remained silent but nodded her affirmation to the doctor. It had only taken him a couple of minutes to locate and attach the small round sensors to her body for data collection. ""Sir?"" Dr. Blake looked up from the monitor and it's calibrations. ""I think my sparring partners just ran away."" She stated flatly, pointing to the window where a few men had been standing moments before. It wasn't an unusual thing. Many of them couldn't keep up with her in a fight, it was how she was designed. It was only the stupid ones that tried, but even then it didn't last nearly long enough for any useful data collection. Dr. Blake let out a yelp, running out the door and down the hallway in an attempt to catch up with them."

Sure some mild manipulation might occur but it was better then having to pull out his gun. Flint quickly stood up. ""Well here goes"" Flint whispered nervously to himself as he straightened his police uniform and began to walk out of the room. Following close behind the group."

He hadn't realized how lost in his thoughts he had become until his concentration was broken by a voice. Glancing sideways he looked at the speaker, the strange one with the hood. The power belonging to this guardian escaped him, but after a moment he finally remembered the guy's name. ""Rao, isn't it?"" His slyness began to evaporate, recognizing that he might have given the new kids the wrong impression. ""Don't worry about overstepping anything, I don't."" Cade shrugged and returned his gaze forward, keeping his steps calm and steady. ""I wanted it to be a surprise but you're right, you do have a right to know."" He continued walking forward, glancing back to keep an eye on all of his followers, like a shepherd herding sheep. ""As you already know, the entire group you see behind you will be split up into two teams. I can't handle you all by myself, in fact I think I was the back up. I'll be in charge of Beta Team, which is certainly not a bad thing at all, but it means I wasn't the higher up's first choice as field worthy.

Entertained by the sounds being emitted Sophi was unintentionally staring at the ground, misleading to some as appearing saddened by a deep thought. On the contrary she was amazed by the oddly beautiful sounds coming from the practicing Angel. She wondered how such an intense session can produce such smooth and swift sounds of movement, while also causing the destructive sounds of equipment breaking. With her abilities and lack of sight, Sophi became quite adept at feeling other's emotions if they're not purposely trying to bury them deep inside. But She was slightly disturbed by the lack of emotion coming from the Angel fighting with such effort. She felt nothing from her.<br/>Pulling back her focus she corrects her direction, looking around with her empty, seemingly ever watchful eyes that appear to never blink, before looking straight ahead. She began to focus on the others in the group, grabbing any information she can gather about them before making any social contact. She was disappointed to hear of the group splinting up. She was enjoying being around such a large group of non normal peers. Though she was a little intimidated by Ms. Blackthorne, she knew she would push her own limits.

She didn't ask to see another angels abilities, she asked to see his abilities. She quickly followed them, however so she wouldn't fall behind. She was obviously more than a little skeptical of the 'Angels' abilities, for more than a few reasons, so she wanted to see them firsthand.

He growled, looking at Blake out of the corner of his eye. ""You know, for an Angel you sure do have a lot of attitude."" Blake countered, rounding the corner and beckoning for him to enter. ""I might as well get your readings again too. The more data the better. Don't worry about these guys, I'll watch them."" Cade raised an eyebrow as he started walking away. ""That doesn't make me worry any less."" The door slid shut behind him, separating him from the guardians outside. He shook his head and stared at Silvia while the wireless sensors were attached to him as well.<br/><br/>""I don't understand why you continue to come back. I beat you every time."" Silvia said flatly, as if everything she had said was a matter of fact. ""It's not something you would understand, robot."" Cade sniffed indignantly, gearing himself for the battle ahead. The girl shook her head, standing calmly across from him. ""I also don't understand why you continue to taunt me when you know it will not work. I have no emotional-"" ""Yes, we know. You're a robot with no feelings. Like I said, you wouldn't understand."" She sighed, a reflexive move that felt right but held no meaning to her.<br/><br/>Blake looked through the window at the Angels while speaking to the Guardians. ""I hope you brought popcorn, because this is going to be hilarious. He just never learns. I'm starting to wonder if just more than his chip is defective."""

He listened in to the conversations and kept quiet. He had no real reason to chime in, anyhow. He was just glad to be distracted. As the Angels entered the combat room, he watched intently. But something felt off. Something to do with his power. He had never felt this before and he wondered if....<br/>""Could it be the Angels?"" Thomas accidentally said aloud. He facepalmed at his action, but as he did, he pried to detect fear within the Angels. He felt nothing but a wall. He turned to the scientist.<br/>""Dr... Blake, isn't it? I am not able to feel the minds of the Angels properly, even with a power that should include even the most robotically advanced human. Is there some sort of protection, or are they just not human or something?"" Thomas was definitely worried. If the Angels had a technology that could protect them from his power, then the black market could get ahold of it and all he would be left with is his own mind. Not even a sense of direction with his life."

Flint looked to the doctor then back into the room. ""Doc, do they have any powers that don't destroy anything..."" He questioned, regretfully as he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer. He knew that violence was sometimes necessary but was it really a good thing to constantly train for the worst case scenario? He looked to his fellow guardians, wondering what powers they held and if they also where genetically made to be more violent."

Oh sure, Angel vs. Angel. It would be a fight to watch, or so they were supposed to believe. But this...this other angel...was just a<i>teenager</i>. What. The. Hell. A frown formed on her face, but she didn't let it get any further than that. So she was expected to take orders from these...these, kids. What kind of a sick joke was this? She literally worked her legs off for these guys, and they give a<i>teenager</i>angel status?! What was she too old? Was she 'broken goods'? This...this infuriated her. She clenched her fists, and tapped one of her feet impatiently. A small electric current ran across her fist as she took a glance at Doctor Blake.<br/><br/><b>""I doubt it'll be that impressive.""</b>She replied to him, masking her agitation with disinterest. [b]""Might as well watch though. Watching someone get the crap beat out of them should be fun.""[/i] she relaxed her fist, and stuffed it into her coat instead.

Dr. Blake glanced back quickly before returning his gaze back to the Angels. ""The level of violence was not of our design. Neither one of those two had official guardian powers before their boost to the Angel Project so they pretty much have to rely on their own physical abilities. We gave them a hand by making them more sturdy and supplying access to anything they might need, but the rest is up to them. I'm just here to observe their progress and suggest solutions to any faults I find.""<br/><br/>SIlvia stood quietly across from Cade in a way that was infuriatingly calm. Her cold eyes met with his and for a brief moment there was a tense silence. A silence that was broken by Cade's charge, leg swinging out to get SIlvia moving as had happened in many previous fights. Much to his surprise she did not jump away but instead braced herself and caught the leg, pinning it against her side. She stepped back then pushed forward, knocking Cade off balance and sending him toppling over onto his back. When she reached forward to pin him, he caught her wrist and planted a foot firmly on her stomach. Suddenly she was flipping backwards over his head and onto the ground with very little cushioning. The air escaped her lungs with an audible<i>whoosh</i>but didn't stop her from rolling out of the way from Cade's next move. Both were on their feet again, pacing around each other like animals. For a couple of minutes they would pounce near the other to attack, flurries of fists and legs with attacks and counter attacks before they split apart again for a breath. Watching Cade fight was like watching a hunting predator while watching Silvia was equivalent to a dance. It was obvious that she was calm, each move deliberate despite their decreasing power. Cade on the other hand was beginning to lose control of his composure, determined to take Silvia down and win.<br/><br/>Dr. Blake couldn't help but to chuckle at the two. ""Charming aren't they. Excuse them, their just excited to have you guys here. Her especially."" He took a clear glass tablet out from his pocket and scanned the readings carefully, ears on the guardians in case they had anymore questions to ask."

What did matter was that he no longer knew why here was even here. This entire meeting had seemingly gotten off track with everyone going off on tangents.

She placed her hand on it as to feel the vibrations from the more powerful impacts. A slightly strained expression passing through her face. Sophia had only been blind a few years and even with everything she has accomplished since then, she still has not attempted any training in hand to hand combat. Though she has slightly above average skills in it from her experience with her previous employment, she doesn't know how to apply her other senses well enough to have the confidence to try. Sophi admired the performance of the two angels with a side of envy, having only thus far relied on her powers to solve her close quarters combat situations.<br/>Sophi quickly shook her self pitying off and went back to the original thoughts that resided in her mind. She turns her head slightly towards the doctor. ""Dr. Blake, if we can know, how many active angels does this agency have?"" Sophi asks quite forcefully with the intent to reassure this new group of her possible aggressiveness despite her comparringly small frame. She was curious about the angels but wanted a decent first impression with the group."

""If I remember correctly these are the first and only two on active duty to date. This project is still considered to be in its developmental and experimental phases. Other groups are receiving military escorts because Silvia and Cade are the only Angels ready for field testing. We have others in the works, screenings being done and such things... But none of them have been able to produce the desired results."" As he mentioned this his eyes flicked up towards Silvia with an expression of pity before returning to his studies.<br/><br/>Silvia had been thrown yet again by Cade's constant charging, working tirelessly at wearing the girl down. It would have been a success had he not worn himself out in the process. Both Angels stood across from each other breathing heavily, refusing to back down for their own reasons. ""Give up Silvia, you won't win this one. If you were going to win, you would have done so by now. Admit it."" Cade taunted, trying to anger her despite knowing that it was nearly impossible to do so. ""You're missing the point of the exercise, Cade, although you would be correct in assuming I would have won by now under normal circumstances."" Cade growled at her response, his taunting attempts only resulting in him riling up. He lunged for her but his tired body was beginning to weaken under his weight. As if in slow motion he watched as Silvia side stepped around his arm, grasping the wrist and sliding her foot around to the back. Then it was over, Cade was laying on the floor staring at the ceiling with a slim, white haired girl pinning him to the ground. ""Dr. Blake, I think we're finished here. Have you collected your requested data?"" Silvia asked, standing up to leave Cade behind on the floor. He helped himself up and frowned, mocking her behind her back. ""Freaking robot. How do you do win every damn time? Everything you know about fighting I taught you."" He couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that he had lost yet another fight against a teenage girl. Granted she was the result of a science experiment, but a young girl all the same. Silvia just shrugged slightly, grabbing a towel to dry her face and neck."

These so called 'angels'...she could kick both of their asses, at the same time. That guy, Cade, would be easy. She wasn't so sure about Silvia, but the human body could only stand so many volts of electricity before it fried. She folded her arms on her chest, thoroughly displeased at the display. She expected a much...larger, more, grand battle. This hadn't made her any more confident in either of them. Perhaps the rumors were just that, rumors. Put out there to make whoever was behind the disappearance and the other illegal activity think twice before messing with them.<br/><br/>Whatever the case, Becca was not happy in the slightest.

Rao did enjoy the fact that Cade seemed to be her teacher at one point, but<i> his inferiority shows a lack of ingenuity, and it was almost childlike how he desired a win.</i>Turning towards the rather aged woman, well its not that she looked old to Rao, its just she had a tired look. Her emotions where rather exposed, she was unimpressed even bored. Seeing as Rao was unable to question Cade or the other angel he asked the woman instead.<br/>""May I ask what you where expecting to see miss?

Parading the group along he retraced his steps and marched past the room where they had heard the boss lady speak and down the hall a few more feet until a set of metal double doors blocked their path. ""Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you your welcoming party."" He pushed the door open to reveal a cafeteria decorated as nicely as a cafeteria could get. Along the walls were buffet tables stacked with all different kinds of food and at the tables designated for eating were plates and drink choices for the Guardians. An entire wall of glass showed the skyline, a mass of dark shapes lighting up as the sun began to sink below the horizon. Silvia stood awkwardly in an open space off to the side, eyes flicking back to the piles of food. Cade chuckled under his breath and turned to the group with a sincere smile. ""As Angels, Silvia and I wanted to thank you for giving us an opportunity to show what this project can really be capable of. I know we got off to a rough start, us maybe not living up to your expectations, but it is my hope that this will make up for our patchy beginnings?"" Behind Cade's back, Silvia bowed her head in greeting. ""All this is for you, help yourself to whatever and how ever much you'd like."" The iciness she had exhibited earlier had completely faded leaving no trace of having ever reacted negatively. ""Your group assignments will be revealed at 9 followed by free time in the lounge until 11:30. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask."""

This research was copied and sold on the black market to an unknown organization that sought to use that knowledge to create chaos. That organization's scientists spent five years working with the research materials to find a way to create superhuman abilities and give them to people. It took another five years for them to succeed in awakening powers without killing the test subject. Many people taken off the streets were given abilities that they used to make their lives better or other's worse. During this emergency the government approved of the development of the Guardian Initiative. Volunteers, trained in combat, were experimented on to produce the same results as the organization had achieved. It wasn't until 2040 that they finally went out into the field to aid in the clean-up of the city. For some time the strange criminal activity went down but in the year 2049 something began picking off Guardians. They started disappearing and returning half out of their minds or dead, and some were never found. Now one year later a new plan is being put into effect; The Guardian Angel Project. Special Guardians, referred to as Angels, were charged with protecting teams of Guardians as crime began a steady increase around the city.</i><br/><br/>The main plot line is for you as Guardians to weed out this organization and put a stop to the superhuman mischief. Smaller, divergent plot lines can be suggested at any time for review and discussion.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

He has a sly nature to him, always getting himself into fights and other such troubles, including altercations with the police. Never having been put in jail, he never got the punishment people thought he deserved until one day his parents had finally had enough with his sneaky behavior. They decided to send him to the military for 'obedience'training, where he struggled for a while to get his footing. This training opened his eyes to a whole new way of living, turning him into a respectable young adult. When he caught wind of the guardian initiative he signed up immediately to prove to his parents that he really had what it took to be responsible and to think of someone other than himself. Despite having been through his millitary training, Cade can still be mischievous and dark at times though always loyal to the mission.

In addition these tendrils can exert enough force to crush barrels or whip with enough force to knock the average man unconscious. There is potential for growth in the skill set.<br/>Team: (I will give you this)<br/>Extras: The tendrils can be used for fine movements as well. Often enough you can see him using them to type or even play games while his other hands are busy...It is believed that they may be connected deeply to his subconscious, as they tend to gesture and indicate what his cool exterior is hiding.<br/><br/>Its pretty rough but I figure you plan for us to flesh it out in game as opposed to 10 page long cs's XD"

</blockquote><br/><br/>Right! Totally forgot to go over that. There will be some classic Sci-Fi elements to it, namely hovercrafts and communicator type things. More along the line of what you're asking about, prosthetics tend to give back more strength than the original limb lost. That list would include arms, legs, eyes and ear implants, not many others would give an advantage. Prosthetic body parts are kind of expensive so only generally wealthy people have them but it is very common to find some on the black market and especially with weapon-based alterations. One thing the Angels have is access to the city around them. Chips in their brains allow for them to do cool stuff which I will go into when talking about them later. Those chips are exclusive to Angels, while knock-offs can be found on the black market. I don't know about cyborgs as a Guardian though... I guess it would depend on what you wanted to do and why."

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        I'll try to explain its every details to show its full power in detail; this includes how it can be overpowered, and how it isn't. First and foremost: What does it do? This power switches the holder with an attacking enemy upon fatal strikes. This can get a bit tricky, so allow me to show you an example. Kafele is eating at WcDonald's when a robber enters the store. Said robber demands money from the cashier, and Kafele stands to confront the thug. Even after a warning shot, Kafele approaches the thug. The robber finally turns the gun on Kafele and pulls the trigger, aiming the barrel at Kafele's chest. Upon the flash of the muzzle, it is as if time has stopped, space has warped, and in the robber's position now stands Kafele. Several feet away, where Kafele once stood, is the robber. Time resumes (all unnoticeable by the naked eye), and the desperate man takes the lethal blow.<br/><br/>""So what, Kafele is immune to death?"" Yes, and no. This god-like power has limits, like any other. This power primarily affects pre-meditated killing attacks from Humans, though is not completely limited to such. Stabbing, slashing, gunfire, fire, poison, and asphyxiation would switch Kafele and the enemy upon which point Kafele likes to call the ""Fate Action,"" a decision or reflex which determines the outcome of Kafele's life, no matter the length of time it would take for the lethal attack to take effect. Need an example? Let's say one wanted to poison Kafele, something that wouldn't kill him immediately but would turn up his corpse within the next five hours. Rather than Cheat Death activating upon the last beat of the heart, it activates when the poison is consumed and switches the circumstances between himself and the would-be assassin.<br/><br/>""Then what are the limits?"" Surely you have an idea by now. Wild and other semi-sentient creatures without command can freely kill Kafele without Cheat Death activating. Also, natural causes and disease are completely unaffected by the power. Finally, suicide is the only sentient action that could remove Kafele's soul. This passive ability (one that requires no activation on the user's part) is not consumed at any point. You can perhaps see where this power is utterly useless, aside from my aforementioned circumstances. Non-lethal activity, such as sparring, would be completely power-free on Kafele's part. Freak accidents could still take his life. Being knocked unconscious, trapped, restrained, etc. are all unaffected by Cheat Death until an action by the enemy would switch them (unfortunately, starvation/dehydration would still kill Kafele).<br/><br/>One last note about the power; to better acclimate Kafele to his sudden surroundings and events, he is given the last ten seconds of the attacker's life. ""I'm sure I know what this means, but give me an example so we're on the same page."" Sure thing, dear reader. Say Kafele is walking across the road when a driver paid no heed to the red light. What would be vehicular manslaughter on the driver's end, instead, the driver is ran over by Kafele should he be unable to react in time. For the switch, Kafele is able to spectate what the driver's last moments were as he was driving, realizing the circumstances and adjusting to the sudden posture change. This allows Kafele to comprehend instantly and prevent a full-on wreck by simply tapping the brakes rather than swerving wildly. 
      </div>
</div><br/><br/>Team: Beta<br/><br/>Extras: Previously a Guardian, though has been recently lifted to Angel status due to the Cheat Death augmentation. Vital organs have been introduced to ""v2"" upgrades, improving his endurance in cases of imprisonment. Flight, as is granted to all Angels, has been implemented as well, though a flaw has been detected and grants only bursts that can be related to ""jetpacks"" or ""super jumping,"" granting enormous forward momentum whilst running or during flight. Kafele has been neglected in the case of any shielding upgrades, for an obvious reason."

You mention how gunfire would cause Kafele to swap with the shooter, but what if it's aimed towards his legs only to cripple him? How would an attacker with a knife receive their own attack without their arm being ripped off/warped horribly when they swap places with Kafele?<br/><br/>Even with your example, the result is not an immediate, nor certain, fatal wound nor would it be likely that a robber would want to kill someone. You also mention how the action has to be pre-mediated. Later, unless you meant that the driver deliberately tried to run Kafele over, which since you used vehicular manslaughter implies they didn't, why would Cheat Death activate?"

I'll remove the ""only"" portion for pre-meditated attacks, as that was an early concept. Any action that could kill Kafele, in the case of bleeding out/internal organ damage that doesn't kill him immediately, is also affected by Cheat Death, even if a situation provides suitable medical care to prevent said death."

I have an idea with feline DNA causing my character to grow fur, morph her ears, and grow a tail, while enhancing her flexibility and reflexes. A trade off for this speed is her strength. She has more fast-twitch muscle fibers, so while she can dodge quickly and sprint over 30 mph, she can't do it constantly for over a minute. Like a cheetah, a burst of energy before she is exhausted. On top of that, she can't hit very hard, and would rely on quick attacks and her agility to win a fight.<br/><br/>As for that cheat death thing, it sounds too overpowered to me. It's basically god modding. Also, why would such a power even be useful? most roleplays can't kill player characters unless the player agrees to it. So it brings up the issue of a player character trying to kill Kafele. What if that player does shoot to kill, but doesn't want to have their character die? It's unfair in that respect, because on top of the no killing player characters, the 'passive' kills the other person. If you say ""Then don't try, and we're good."" It's OOCly saying ""Can't attack me!""<br/><br/>That's my opinion on that. Feel free to nit pick my own choice, if you wish. I'd be glad to converse, and let the GM decide."

Honestly, the 'Surely you have an idea of its limits now' thing sounds incredibly condescending and you're wrong. I don't see many downsides to this ability at all. Freak accidents could take his life, but what are the chances of a freak accident actually happening? Would the bad guys just have to lock him up until he starves or is killed by dehydration? Yeah, I believe that's the very definition of OP. Basically anyone who wanted to kill him, even through indirect means would still die or take his place.

I have read over your concerns and taken them into consideration. Originally I had approved of Dubwarlock's power because it worked with my vision of what the Angels are supposed to be like but I see now that maybe I was mistaken. We are allowed to make mistakes so let's not get all worked up and instead talk this out. I can talk to Dubwarlock and set up some limitations myself or have him choose a different power if that makes you guys feel more comfortable. This being said I would like to state now, because I have yet to post the information about them, the Angels are designed to take heavy hits. They are meant to be shields to<b>protect</b>the Guardians(which are you guys). Thinking it over, I have some ideas of how to make them seem a little less OP, just give me a chance to do my job as GM.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

Try's to think positive to any situation and hopes to help people when he can. This will usually have him find a peaceful way out of a violent situation. He began as a traffic officer but soon rose to hostage negotiator,He feels that he can make a difference in the city and so volunteered straight away when he heard of the project, thinking that he could help a lot more in the experimental group. His passive way of seeing things and his pacifistic view of combat made his power become second nature to him ,used to the roles of speaking people down from tight situations. He hopes that he can help protect not only the general public but the law and order<br/>Power/Ability: Suggestive hypnosis. Planting ideas and misdirection into people heads via small hints and triggers, mostly with hand gestures and phrases. Can only be used when the person can see him or hear him. Will only work if the person does not know that he is being suggestively manipulated. In extreme high stress situations the lack of concentration by Flint can also lead to the power not taking effect. Prolong use of the power can lead to migraines or mild headaches.

While on missions she ties her hair back into a long ponytail. Her blueish silver eyes often wandering even though she is blind.<br/><br/>Personality: Sophi is an overachiever. Being blind has made her do everything in her ability to avoid being seen as being at a disadvantage. Sophi gets frustrated easily and it shows. Though she hates her blindness, she sometimes enjoys bringing it up in a way to make her comrades uncomfortable. She usually tries to initiate small talk with others with the intent of feeling somewhat normal.<br/><br/>Power/Ability: Telekinesis. At the most she can lift a fully grown man anywhere within a 30ft radius. But she prefers to fight using pistols. She's developed a way to manipulate her bullets slightly in order to be more accurate. She can only use her ability consistently for about 60 seconds before numbness starts to set in on her extremities. With a 90 second break she can resume but she can push herself to almost 31/2 minutes before her entire limbs become completely paralyzed for 30 minutes.<br/><br/>Team:<br/><br/>Extras: Sophi worked as a mercenary before an incident blinded her, though she refuses to explain it to anyone. Since being recruited into the GA project Sophi has received hearing augmentations. Over time she's become quite adept at painting a mental picture of her surroundings through sound."

She walks in a somewhat aggressive manner making people most of the time give her a bit of room. Her prosthetic legs don't help with the image much either. She has blond, almost white hair and icy blue eyes.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>Becca isn't exactly a team player by nature, she hasn't been since the botched mission that cost her her legs. She can be a bit reckless, and its that recklessness that cost her two of her limbs. However, she does understand the necessity to follow plans and stick together as a team. Just don't expect her to be too friendly most of the time. She doesn't like taking orders from anyone, especially from those younger than she is. She does, however, like technology and can usually be found tinkering with some random object in her downtime.<br/><br/><b>Power/Ability:</b> Electricity manipulation. No, she can't shoot lighting from her finger tips to a target yards away, well, not without a sufficient amount of concentration or power. Her prosthetic legs actually have an energy source within them that she can make use of - a modification she got specifically for her power. She is fairly experienced in her power, and can do some very creative things with it. She can amplify small power sources into much larger bursts of energy, however, the more she amplifies it, the amount of energy from her it takes increases exponentially. She can also disrupt electricity in most appliances, causing them to either explode, or just short out.<br/><br/>Along with her abilities, come a deadly arsenal of martial arts, something she picked up as a rehabilitation exercise after her legs went. She's agile, and you don't want to get hit with her prosthetic leg. Aside from the fact it probably has an electric current running through it, metal tends to hurt if it hits you.<br/><br/><b>Team:</b><br/><br/><b>Extras:</b> Becca was part of the original volunteers, one of the few to come back alive and sane. Still, she's been out of commission for a bit since the botched mission that took her legs from her. She's hesitant to return to work, but she really has nothing else to do since she's done this most of her life.

Particularly with your character who only has suppressed emotions, you could have her struggle with her morality compass versus the extremes of law and ""Justice"".<br/>All angels could be tied too a central control network, that limits their effective combat strength based on the assesment of the situation.<br/>Oh and how angels have political programming aswell, certain backers or officals show up in their eyes as a literal grey void.<br/>Another idea is Angels have regulations that force them to prioritise key mission objectives no matter how they ""feel"" and can cause a mental shut down where the central hub assumes direct control. (this would work with a hacker subplot. And also renegade angels who are free of the system. In addition this idea would allow for factions within your own rp where the regulating of angels is a violation of human rights blahblahblah getting to into ideas that are not even going to be green lit XD)<br/><br/>Forgive spellin on phone, listening to lecture.....Trying to be ninja and stuff..."

110,The Guardian Angel Project,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17842-the-guardian-angel-project,['Casual'],2014-03-11 00:39:00,Zombehs,"Here it is, go tear it apart.<br/><br/><b>Name:</b>Adam Evans<br/><b>Age:</b>33<br/><b>Gender:</b>Male<br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><a href=""http://s10.postimg.org/fw34xs1dl/b6b37a519533c1fdf2f654d60f584acc.jpg"">Not very tall, 5’10, and rather slender, 155lbs, Adam looks rather young and is quite easily placeable; with his distinct white hair and sharp gold eyes. His vision isn’t bad enough that glasses are necessary, but nevertheless he does like to wear them. </a><br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>It doesn’t bother Adam that he fills the stereotypical stoic soldier image; he’ll take it over succumbing to the organization’s conditioning. He can be rather unpleasant to be around, if only because of the fact that he rarely speaks, but nevertheless has a heavy presence. It can make for a rather awkward and intimidating silence. Factor in his serious demeanor, and he makes for a no-fun-allowed individual. Or at least one who doesn’t participate.<br/><br/><b>Power/Ability:</b><i>Boosted Form</i>: A bit of an unusual power, Adam is able to absorb an unidentified form of energy from any human that dies around him. While others call them souls, he just identifies it as life-force. Currently his limit is about what 30 people’s deaths would give him.<br/><br/>The absorbed energy doesn’t have any sort of expiry date, simply being contained until he uses it. What for? To buff himself. At the expenditure of the gathered energy, he’s able to increase his body’s capabilities; anything from increasing his reaction time or physical strength, to even bolstering the body’s natural ability to heal. Speaking in general, a single death’s worth of energy seems to increase the affected attribute by two-fold for several hours.<br/><br/>That’s not to say he can simply amplify the physical strength of his body thirty-fold though. The more he buffs a single attribute, the less return he experiences. The first use would double, the second might double again, the third would likely be around a 75% increase, and so forth until there’s no additional gains. There’s also the problem of progressively shorter durations for the increases; meaning at too many uses, not only do the benefits disappear, but the time said boosts last becomes incredibly short. It’s still useful in a cinch, but it’s not ideal.<br/><br/>Lastly, Adam can’t simply boost one attribute of the body and expect others to keep up. Super strength is useless, nay even harmful, if his bones can’t withstand the forces exerted. A better reaction speed doesn’t mean anything if his body still can’t react with his brain, or if his ligaments and tendons tear from trying to move that fast. Essentially, he’s always forced to boost his body’s durability and endurance to the same degree before amplifying any other attribute.<br/><br/><b>Team:</b><i>(I will give you this)</i><br/><br/><b>Extras:</b>It’s morbid, but he does need to spend time in places where people die in order to “recharge” his store; so generally hospitals. The range seems to be around a mile so he doesn’t actually have to be in buildings or the like.<br/>He was one of the first working experiments of the mysterious organization, successfully completed in 2034. He first became active a year later in 2035, and was active up until 2044 when he dropped off the grid entirely. Guess they trained him a bit too well. Adam only resurfaced in 2049 to approach the Guardian Angel Project.<br/><ul><li>His feelings towards the organization are mixed. They did grant him superhuman abilities, but their methods were far from humane. Some of the others he met, he grew to become friends with, while he would have killed other individuals if given the opportunity. He had to kill for the organization, but then again, he had done so before they performed their experiments on him. </li> <li>He has killed Guardians dispatched by the government before. Due to the varied uses and a lack of any markers in regards to his powers, he hasn’t been identified though. And well, it’s hard to recognize someone who was in full disguise.</li> <li>In vein with his position within the organization, Adam has been physically conditioned and trained to an extensive degree. He’s proficient with a variety of weapons, alongside being a competent fighter in melees. Also has a deep understanding of combat and tactics; generally what most would expect from an elite of a country's special forces. </li></ul><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-gwzUbcuGo"">Yar, this is his theme. Suitably awesome throughout; never really gets upbeat, only invigorating; has a slow, even cautious, beginning; and picks up towards the end. Satisfying. </a>"

</div><br/><b>Name:</b>Thomas Berkely<br/><b>Age:</b>36<br/><b>Gender:</b>Male<br/><b>Appearance:</b>Thomas is tall (6'1""), with a medium build, weighing in at 215lbs. He has short, curly, light brown hair and dark brown eyes. He tends to always have a 5 o'clock shadow and a sort of pale complexion, as he never goes outside unless needed. He likes to wear a suit, no matter what he does, but sometimes, they tend to rip, causing him to have to get them tailored.<br/><b>Personality:</b>Thomas is a charismatic man, always using his charm to befriend those whom he wants as his allies. Though he never admits to it, he knows that one day, his charisma will, in fact, run out, causing him to lose all those whom he has befriended. He does, however, realize this, and tends to try his hardest to make sure that when his charm stops working, he will have made some true friends to be there.<br/><b>Power/Ability:</b>Fear. Not just causing fear itself, but the manifestation of a fear within your mind. Causing you to go insane, or mad with fear. Your worst fears, upon recieving a snap to you, are manifested within your mind and only the strongest of minds can truly escape. If you have a stronger mind, but cannot break away so easily, I can remain in eye contact and the fear grows stronger. If I lose eye contact, the power fades, but so long as you still have the fear, the mind still will at random times, manifest the fear again. If you are not the strongest of minds, the Fear is inescapable. I simply have to stay within a 25m radius to keep my hold on you. When the fear is manifested within your mind, your mind actually thinks that whatever is happening is real. Say your fear of manifestation is of fire. You will, in your mind, catch on fire, and though you are not actually burning, you will feel the pain as though you were through psychosis.<br/><b>Team:</b>Alpha (temporary?)<br/><b>Extras:</b>Thomas is a bit... demented. With his ability, he has developed insomnia and slight dementia, causing him to laugh maniacally at the screams of his victims. Honestly, he hates this ability and would love trade it for something else, if not get it removed completely. It has started affecting his mind, though a few slaps and a bit of shaking can bring him back to reality when he starts slipping into madness. During fights and such, he has to be constantly looked after, and recognizing this when he was concious enough to brand it in the back of his mind, he tends to stay by at least one person, for fear of truly slipping into madness. Not evil, Insanity."

</div><br/><br/><b>Name:</b>Freya Orion<br/><b>Age:</b>20<br/><b>Gender:</b>Female<br/><b>Appearance:</b>Freya stands at 5'6'', with an athletic build toned from hours of practicing martial arts. She has sharp features, with a piercing gaze one would not likely forget, and black hair cropped short to her neck. She is usually seen wearing a black catsuit and thigh-high boots, with dual swords attached at her back.<br/><b>Personality:</b>A quiet and reserved individual, Freya likes keeping to herself and lets very few people into her life. But those that do manage to wriggle their way in, gain her trust and loyalty. She is calm and calculative during combat and prefers to finish a task as quickly as possible. She also never sits idle for too long and is always seen doing something, whether it be practicing with her swords or sitting in a corner reading a book.<br/><b>Power/Ability:</b>Acidic Blood. Freya's blood has acidic properties and is pressurized inside her body, so that it spurts out when her skin is pierced. The blood can corrode selected substances, both organic and inorganic when exposed. Freya is also skilled in close combat and uses her ability to her advantage. Her gloves are lined with small claws, which when activated, pierces through her skin, drawing blood. During combat, she uses this to smear the blood on her target, which will 'eat' through armor, skin, etc. Combined with her melee attacks, she can prove lethal in battles.<br/><b>Team:</b>To be decided<br/><b>Extras:</b>Acids can be neutralized by bases, and Freya's blood is no different. The effects of her blood can be stopped when exposed to a strong base. Also, too much blood loss can weaken her like any other being."

However I also don't think it would be fair to start it then disappear like that again. Then again, when have I ever used my better judgement? :P<br/><br/>Okay, ReaptheMusic: The power itself looks really interesting, and I can see it working, but the wings I wanted to be special to the Angels. Also, I see the limitations of the power and was just wondering if there were any additional drawbacks to using it? I may have just missed it, I've been a bit distracted as of late.<br/><br/>I'm not going to wait for Esalia to start, if she wants to join, then a character may be added in later but for now I'm moving on. Is there any CS, other than ReaptheMusic's that I have neglected? I think I've gotten them all. I've decided to set up another Angel and play him myself that way we have two groups. I'll get to work on splitting you guys up into those groups then get to work on starting this up. Just a warning I'm currently writing a pain in the ass essay for school and am dealing with the emotional crap that goes with knowing you have to put your dog down soon. The next couple of weeks are going to a be a little rough for me so I beg of you to be patient with me while I go through this.<br/><br/>EDIT: I have put both my Angels on the first page, Silvia and Cade.

Could you send me a pm with your physical limitations and weakness in your powers. I know there is some in the cs, but if you have took an extra step such as our blood wielding warrior, my character is one who tinkers and tweaks. If you are seen in combat or if you openly express troubles about things, he takes it upon himself to try and aid you. For example reading about Freya's drawback, Rao would likely begin a project testing chemicals that both act to neutralize or (Much to an enemies dismay) exacerbate it, but.....Your character would likey be subject to unwanted experiments, without Rao's meaning. The tendrils are in his ""control"" but if he is excited or interested they tend to do what he is thinking. Such as getting a blood sample, feeling muscle tone...Trying to disassemble someones legs. Once again you can tell me here, or in a pm. As I wouldn't want to ruin any plans you may have!"

</blockquote><br/><br/>No problem. I'll reply to that in a bit. x)<br/><br/>Also, Venom, here's Freya's powers elaborated a bit:<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">
      With enough of her blood exposed, it can corrode through substances like metal, plastic, glass etc. The thicker the substance, the more blood needs to be spilled, and the more time it takes for the substance to be corroded. For example, if you want to make a hole in a wall, you'll have to probably cut off her arm. xD <br/>In case of humans, the eyes are most easily damaged, causing blindness. But if exposed to skin, it'll deal a nasty burn, which depending on the severity, can take months or years to heal. And if it gets into the bloodstream, it will poison the person, maybe even causing cardiac arrest. <br/>If a large amount of it is exposed, then water has no effect. Only a strong base will neutralize the effects then. <br/>It all really depends on how much of her blood is exposed for it to have its full effect.<br/>I based this all on the properties of Hyrdofluoric Acid, so if you know Chemistry, you can easily come up with chemicals that'll neutralize/exacerbate the effects of her blood.

One binding the head the other covering the mouth.....A third appears from the beneath the shirt, with what looks like a knife? As Rao continued to speculate the armed tendril moved ever closer to the right eye of flint?! IT WAS GOING TO CUT OUT HIS EYE SIMPLY TO TEST A THEORY?!

His power drives his own mind crazy with fear and has caused him to develop slight dementia and random spurts of insomnia.<br/>-Due to the dementia, he is more prone to his own power, causing him to see random visions at random times. If he can catch it quick enough, he is able to just rub away the visions, but if not, he gets to where he is living a different version of the same moment, with nightmares coming to life withing his own mind.<br/>-Due to the insomnia, it is harder for him to differentiate the reality from the fear ability when it comes upon himself. This makes him even more prone to not catch the fear soon enough.<br/>-Also, due to the dementia, he tends to go a little overboard with his power. If all he needs is the vision of a death of another to be implanted in someones mind, he will cause a river or even ocean of blood to come spilling forth. If he just needs them to think they are about to get burned, he may up it to have already lit their arm on fire inside their mind. Etcetera etcetera."

She said as she stretched her hands above her head. ""Republic city is amazing I love coming here when I get the chance I feel more free here then I do back home.""

""Ok what was that all about?"" He was wondering why she wanted to get away from there so quickly, the streets weren't really that busy. It really wasn't that busy, most people would be at the later matches of pro bending."

""Oh um well I just wanted to get moving you know get to a good place to eat before they get busy and we have to wait forever for a seat which is not fun to do."" Elsa explained hoping he would buy what she was saying and not ask that many questions that would only make her screw up her story."

When they entered the restaurant she thought it was cute and quaint. She sat down in the seat and looked at the menu to see what is good. ""Please feel free to order anything I brought more then enough money."" She said as she pulled out her wallet and pulled out a good amount of cash that was enough to pay for the meal and more."

""My family visits a lot for business so I tag along to just get away from all the snow and the freezing cold."" She said to him with a smile as she ate the food happily thinking it was really good and a lot better food then what the cooks prepare for her back home in the palace. ""Also I do some waterbending shows showing people how I makes ice statues with just using my water bending I some how made it look like an art form."""

He stepped away from her a good distance away before starting to bend not wanting to hurt her, he controlled his bending like it was an extension of himself, each move he did it seemed like a firebending dance with every move he made was graceful. The fire like a dragon as he controlled it, by the time he was done he was breathing hard with sweat running down his face."

When he moved away from her she kept her distance thinking that it would be the best to stay away as he did his thing. She was in awe at what he did for she thought what he was doing was ten times more amazing then what he did at the probending match. Once he was done she was still stunned about what she saw. ""That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life."" She said still in awe."

Still the republic city is my home, even if my life has been tough the city is still my home.""

""When I have time I practice drawing with fire."""

She used the water she pulled from the air and moved her hands around it as she watched him draw with the fir and was amazed by how it looked. ""Wow once again I am amazed by you."" She said as she finished making the shape with the water and froze it. It was a little ice figure of Cody bending his fire like he had showed her ebfore sitting down. ""Here."" She said with a smile and handed him the little ice sculptur to him."

""I think you need to get back home, getting you to know me and think of me as a friend just put you in danger, best thing is to never see me again."""

She then let a scream when she saw the rock go sailing over them as he pushed her down in time and she was breathing heavy because of that. Once he grabbed her wrist and started running she just ran with him not knowing what was going on but she did not want to find out. Once they stopped Elsa tried to catch her breath as she listened to him mainly the part where she should not get know him more then she has already. ""What no you are my first friend I can fight back if needed I was trained by the best waterbender fighters in out tribe please just don't say I can't hang with you or be your friend.""

""The house we have here for when we visit is not far from here please just come with my my parents maybe able to you."" She said begging him pretty much for him to come with her.

The said as one ran off to get her parents but her brother appeared first. ""Well well well if its not me dear sister Elsa ran away from the body guards again and you brought home a street rat this time how disgusting.""

It was time for him to get his starter Pokemon and a Pokedex. Of course, he had a Pokemon of his own already, but he wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to get a free Pokemon. As he walked, he turned his eyes to the air. Supposedly another new trainer was on his way here from Saffron to get his own Pokedex, and he was expected to arrive here at any time. He couldn't help but think that Professor Oak planned this on purpose, but what did he know.<br/><br/>He approached the front of the lab and read the sign, ""Professor Oak's Lab."" With his grin firmly in place, he reached for the door..."

Who was dancing and bouncing left and right. On a boy's legs, making him chuckle and laugh at how excited she was getting. ""Lil, peti?"" it chanted out while twirling around and eye smiling up towards the boy. Making him to chuckle and stroke her head gently left and right.<br/><br/>""Yeah Petilil we are almost there too Pallet town. Where we will meet up with Professor Oak and receive our very own Pokedex!"" He said with a grin. Then laughed when Petilil charged right into his chest and began snuggling and rubbing up against the boy. Purring and mewing against him, as he heard his mother laughing out.<br/><br/>""Well first Robert, when we get there. I mean when we get too the entrance of pallet town. You will be going too the lab by yourself."" The mother explained, shifting her green eyes up towards teh rear view mirror. Seeing the blue short hair boy, nod his head and moving Petili next too him. Fixing and organizing his orange long sleeve shirt back into place.<br/><br/>While the mother smiled brightly as well, facing forward. Feeling her pony tail blue hair, gently press against her neck. As she sighs out and gave a caring smile. ""I never thought I will see the day, of you finally starting your Pokemon journey. Now, you have everyone with you right?"" She asked, directing towards Robert's other pokeball's, that were attached to his belt around his blue long sleek pants, with silver lines going down the right leg. In which has two more pokeballs on him, that contain a Pikachu who he ran into, when the electric mouse Pokemon. Had some how got into the electrical wiring of their apartment building, nibbling and eating the wires. In order to get electricity into it's system. while the last pokemon is Dratini, who he won at Celedon Game corner...a lucky win indeed as he manage to get A jackopot and enough points in order to get the small and cute dragon type Pokemon. Who just loves to coil aruond his arms and playfully trick people. Who walks by him, thinking it was an accessory. Only for them to get jumped and get frighten when the dragon pokemon, will blink it's large pearl eyes and then start smiling and laughing at them."

The little dragon quickly wrapped itself around Robert's arm, nudging Petilil out of the way as it did so. ""Dratini! Tini!"" it cried, excited to finally go somewhere with it's trainer.<br/><br/>Meanwhile...<br/><br/>Chad entered the lab, making sure his camo vest was on right. Unferneath that he had short sleeve black shirt on, with a pair of black pants to match. He had messy black hair, and brown eyes tgat scanned everything they could. He hadn't been in Professor Oak's lab before, so he was both fascinated and confused by all the machines he saw lying around, including what looked like two pods connected by a huge power cable. The man himself stood by a table which housed 3 pokeballs and watched Chad approach with interest.<br/><br/>""Welcome, welcome!"" Professor Oak said, walking forward to shake the 17 year olds hand. ""My name is Professor Oak, and this is my lab!"" He gestured around at the rest of the building, clearly enjoying himself. He always loved giving new trainers their Pokemon and Pokedex, though if course not everyone got them. That was what made this meeting slecial, it had been years since he had given a Pokedex to a hopeful young trainer, and niw there were two! ""I see your felliw trainer has yet to arrive, si let's introduce ourselves shall we? I am Professor Samuel Oak, but some people calle me the-""<br/><br/>""Pokemon Professor."" Chad cut off, ""I'm Chad, and I live here in Pallet Town. My dad said you were gonna give me a Pokedex and a Pokemon?"" He'd heard the Professor's speech from his father a dozen time's over. He was hust lookung forward ti getting o the road.<br/><br/>Professor Oaj raised his eyebrow at the young trainer, but said nithing about the interruption. ""Um, well, yes. But I'm afraid well have to wait for that until your fellow trainer arrives. It's a rule to allow both trainers to pick together. So until he arrives, how about you show me that Pokemon you have there?""<br/><br/>Chad grumbled something about late people, before grabbing the ball from his hip, pressing a button to enlarge it. ""If you insist Professor. Here he is, go! Sharptooth!"""

Robert explained, laughing a bit. When Petilil growled out and began ruffling her leaves left and right, at how dratini nudge the little grass type out of the way. so it can wrap around the boy's arm. After that and stopping itself from growling. The three of them will feel the car stopping at the very entrance of Pallet town. With the sign on the right side of the sidewalk, reading the town name and such to any visitors.<br/><br/>With buildings here and there from what they can see, as well as what appears to be people working and just having fun wandering around their town. Chatting and talking to one another, along with Children and some little pokemon laughing and running about with playful laughter. ""Alright here we are Robert...Pallet town, now I want you to be on your best behavior when you meet Oak okay?"" Robert's mother said. In which the boy opened up the car door and got out of it.<br/><br/>Making sure Petilil will follow right behind him, as she happily hops down onto the ground. All the while taking a few stride forward so the boy, can close the door behind her. As he smiled at his mom and adjusted his pokemon league hat. ""Of course mom! I won't give Oak trouble! See you when I get back to saffron!"" He called out and began running through the city of Pallet town, all the while holding onto Petilil who immediately jumped into his arm when he began running.<br/><br/>It would take Robert about five to ten minutes, before he finally found the lab and home of Samuel Oak. With the boy breathing and panting lightly, as well as gulping down his nervousness. ""Well...here we are guys. We are about to start our very own Pokemon journey!"" he whispered and then raised his voice at the end in excitement. Feeling his entire body filling up with butterflies. ""ALRIGHT! Let's go!"" he shouted with a confident grin and fist pump lightly, as he opens up the door and calls out with both eyes closed. ""I AM HERE PROFESSOR OAK! Sorry for being late, a long drive from Saffron."""

""It's about tume you showed up!"" He snapped, putting his pokeball back on his belt.<br/><br/>""Calm down Chad, it's fine."" Professor Oak said calmly. ""Welcome trainer! I've heard good things from your mother, how has she been?"" He added, a fond look in his eye. He still remembered giving Pokemon to these kids parents, and just loikung at the duo brought memories flooding back.<br/><br/>""And just who are you anyway?"" Chad asked as he crossed his arms."

""She is doing fine, she's doing fine. As well as her pokemon too."" He said while taking few steps forward. Hearing this new trainer snapping at him for being late. Which Robert just shrugged his shoulders, with Petilil hopping her way over in timing with the boy. Smiling up towards the professor.<br/><br/>""As for my name, its Robert arma."" He stated towards the boy without really looking at him. Not rudely but in hopes, of keeping the playful Dratini from jumping at the boy and scaring him. He then faces at Oak with a bright smile, ""So how are things going Professor? I heard from you recent news interview, that you might've discovered?"" He asked while resting a hand onto his side, with Petilil just blinking her orange eyes looking around at the many book shelves, computers and furniture in the place."

Professor Oak said excitedly. ""We just discovered a new fossil, and I was asked to take a look before any attemots at ressurection were taken. I remember when they tried to do so without udentification last time and it turned out to be a Kabutops. That wasn't pretty, let me tell you.""<br/><br/>""Sorry to interrupt Professor, but wasn't there something for us here?"" Chad asked, knowing that these sciency type's could get wrapoed up in a story easily.<br/><br/>""Oh, right, sorry."" The Professor chuckled, embarassed. ""Cone over here, please."" He asked, walking over towards a table on the far side of the room. Chad stopped for a minute and took a look at the trainer, noticing the Petilil bouncing around. ""Where'd you get that Pokemon? They're not native tovKanto."""

Along with chuckling at the mention of, those who resurrected one of the fossils. Containing Kabutops didn't end well...Although Robert look at the corner of his head, whispering 'wait Kabutops? Aren't they regularly Kabuto?' he said to himself all the while hearing Chad, getting a bit impatient of wanting to get something from the professor. Making Robert to roll his eyes a bit, and followed the two down the lab...only to then get asked about his Petilil.<br/><br/>""Oh her?"" He said with a smile, and then chuckled when she happily jumped up onto his arms. Snuggling up against his chest fondly, ""Yeah that is true Petilil, are not native too Kanto. She is actually from Unova, as well a Pokemon who I ran into during one of my walks as a kid. Through Pinwheel forest...although I think she followed me."" The boy chuckled out, not entirely sure how he met Petilil with the grass type. Happily nodding her head with chants of her name. She then blinked her eyes at Dratini, who is coiled on the boy's arm.<br/><br/>""So Chad getting your first Starter Pokemon?"""

He was from that far away? He could barely even hear an accent. ""Yeah, I'm getting a starter."" He said in answer to Robert's question. ""Although I already have a Pokemon."" He added, grabbing his pokeball off his hip. He smiled as he thought of the powerful Pokemon inside. ""I've had him for a while now, though I still can't decide on a name.""<br/><br/>Professor Oak watched the two silently, wondering how it would turn out. Would they get along and become friends? Or would they become rivals, like so many others? It was true that he had asked both here on the same day for a reason. He was hoping fir a friendly rivalry to start up between the two, just like their parents before them. Having a rival to fightvand griw along side was a wonderful thing, and he couldn't help but think of Agatha and himself. ""Ah, what memories."" He said quietly enough that neither would hear him."

Making Robert to think in his head, of why go and get a starter Pokemon? If...you already have a Pokemon in your team? He figure not to question the logic behind his decision, he himself isn't going to get a starter Pokemon. On the account he already has three of his own, one of them wrapped nicely and comfy on his arm.<br/><br/>""Well no offense to Oak, although I think he already knows that I ain't choosing a starter."" Robert said with a chuckle, figuring Oak already knew why he is here in which. Was to have a Pokedex as well being able to get the license of being a Trainer. ""If you don't mind Oak, after everything I do want to show you the Pokemon I have."" He explained, wanting to get the old professor evaluation of his team."

""I was hoping to see your Pokemon anyway, especially that Dratini on your arm."" At that comment, Chad looked at what he had assumed to be a wrist band of some sort. He had a Dratini? He made a mental note to find out where he got it later.<br/><br/>At the mention if it's name, Dratini partially uncurled itself from Robert's arm and looked up at Professor Oak. ""Dra?"" It said questioningly.<br/><br/>""Heh heh, don't worry little one, we'll get to you soon enough. But first, I have a starter Pojemin for the two of you!"" He said, sweeping his arm towards the table, which held three pokeballs and two Pokedex's. ""It is time for you two to choose the Pokemin you will spend the rest of your journey with, the one who will be with you through thick and thin, easy and rough-""<br/><br/>""We know the deal Professor, but if you haven't noticed we're a vut ilder than your usual crowd. We don't need the whole grand speech.""<br/><br/>""Oh, right. Heh heh, silly me."" Professor Oak said sheepishly. Chad was quite the impatient one it seemed. Oh well, everyone had their quirks. ""But now, choose your Pokemon, and your Pokedex!"""

Making Robert to sigh out and shake of his head, while shrugging his shoulders. Yeah they are older, yeah they are a bit...or somewhat maturer than most trainers who visit him. But there is really no reason to interrupt the one job, the man has in his belt. When introducing or giving off the speech too new trainers.<br/><br/>Robert chuckled lightly when Dratini uncurled herself from his arm, surprised probably of oak. Figuring out that she wasn't a wristband but an actual Pokemon. ""Professor oak i you don't mind? But I don't think I will be needing a starter Pokemon...if you catch my drift."" Robert said lightly raising Petilil up in his arms, along with Dratini. In which the grass pokemon happily wiggled her green like skirt around. ""That and I have came here with three Pokemon at the ready, so hope you don't mind."" He said with a sheepish smile."

""I understand. As long as you have Pokemon by your side, you'll be fine. Now then, Chad, do you still want a Pokemon?""<br/><br/>Chad nodded, stepping towards the table. He picked up his Pokedex, deciding to register the thing later. He looked at the three pokeballs: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. Niw which one was the right one...<br/><br/>While he was making his choice, Professor Oak picked up the second Pokedex and carried it over to Robert. It was a bew, sleek model, eith a variety of functions beyond your basic Pokedex. These were nearly impossible to get wuthout knowing somebody, and they were valuable research tools. Could ge trust these two with such a large task?<br/><br/>The old man handed Robert the Pokedex, his face becoming serioys for a moment. ""Can I trust you to take care of this? To do your best with whatever you choose, be it battling catching, or something inbetween?"""

His mother told him everything there is about what features it...well used to have, along with the encyclopedia of every single Pokemon that is known to mankind, is all stored into this little library handheld. giving it too the wrong hands as well with the Trainers ID and information of what he/she has done during their quest. Can be very disastrous too anyone they know or have met along with the Pokemon that they have probably caught during their travels.<br/><br/>""You can trust me Professor oak. I definitely know how important this device is."" Robert explained while taking the Pokedex, as Petulil looked between him and Oak. With her orange eyes blinking a couple of times, only to then start gently hopping up and down in Roberts arms. Out of excitement as well as saying in her own little words, that Oak can trust in Robert of the deeds and journey he is about to take! ""You can count me, and I will do my best...if not to fill up the pokedex."" He said with a little chuckle...knowing how impossible that will be. Considering there are over about 694 Pokemon known so far in the world...with new species being discovered now...""I think I will focus on completing the Kanto region Pokedex first."" He mumbled to himself in thought with eyes closed."

""Of course, do it hiwever you see fit. Now, let's see if Chad has chosen yet.""<br/><br/>He turned away from Robert and headed back towards the table that Chad stood by. Noticing the Professor coming over, Chad grabbed his choice from the three and turned to face Robert and Professor Oak. ""Got it!"" He said, lifting the Pokeball and showing it to the duo.<br/><br/>""I see, good choice Chad. Now that thats out if the way, why don't we meet all our Pokemon, hmm?"""

In which Robert, who was watching chad, notice him choosing one of the Pokeball. Making Robert curious of which one he chosen? Before he can muse any further with it, Professor Oak went ahead and asked them, to see all of their pokemon.<br/><br/>Which Petilil instantly hopped down onto the floor and happily waddle her way forward away from Robert for a bit. As petilil did that, and giving Robert left arm some freedom. Moved that arm down to his belt and grabbed his third Pokeball. ""Alright then I don't mind, so come on out Pikachu!"" Robert said tossing the ball forward in which landed onto the ground, and sent out the electric mouse Pokemon.

In a flash of light, a small blue turtle appeared, along with a brown dinosaur Pokemon who was taller than all the other Pokemon present.

Robert asked pointing at the t-rex looking Pokemon with blinking eyes.<br/><br/>While Petilil happily just shake herself in place, while doing some back flips. While Pikachu happily smile at Squirtle, ""Pikachu, Pika, Pika, Pikaaachu."" Pikachu chanted out, while moving it's paws and arms around. Explaining to the starter Pokemon that this boy behind it.

""He's a bit of a handful, but he's worth it.""<br/><br/>""Squirtle? Squirt?"" The turtle Pokemon answered back to Pikachu, asking if Pikachu was Chad's Pokemon as well, or if he belonged to the other human. Tyrunt and Dratini however, were expecting each other closely, with Tyrunt smelling the smaller dragon.

Robert said. Looking towards his Pikachu and Squirtle, who were discussing something he wasn't sure of? But from the motions and waving of arms? He can tell that the two Pokemon or...Squirtle at least, is wondering if Pikachu belonged too Chad. Or too the human in front of him, in which the electric mouse eye smiled and wagged his tail gently. Explaining that he belongs to the boy behind him, whose name is Robert. While also introducing Petilil who had falling asleep in place. From waiting to long making Pikachu to bashfully sweat drop and then looking over towards Dratini and the fossil Pokemon.

Although might take awhile for me to decide on the matter. But eh, I can improvise."" Robert joked out beaming from finally hearing Oaks famous speeches. That his mother always told him about, even if he does go on and on with them. They always seems to captivate all sorts of trainers, that they literately just stay an extra hour. To hear what kind of advices he has..which reminds him? ""Oh right Professor Oak, any tips or advice you want to give too us? Before we head on out?"""

""...and always be careful of strange people."" he added after a moment more of thought.<br/><br/>Chad raised an eyebrow at the Professor's strange reaction. Was he not telling them something? He had half a mind to ask what the problem was, before he decided against it. The old man had to have his reasons. He hadn't given them a reason to distrust him so far.

When the man showed a very worried expression on his face and told the two of them. To be very careful of strange people?

Those who probably would start making trouble or cause trouble for others kind of strange...<br/><br/>""Sure professor..? Thanks again for the pokedex Professor, really appreciate it."" Robert smiled along with Pikachu and Petilil, all the while the three of them. Then turned around and faces at Chad. Who asked Robert if he wanted to have a first Pokemon battle? Robert lightly scratch the side of his cheek...in a bit of concern on the account well? Squirtle seems to be really shy, as well as weak too Grass and Electric types. Tyrunt he isn't really sure, but if it's a fossil pokemon, that might mean he is also part Rock. Which Rock is weak to grass...though it might be normally weak too grass, with it being part Dragon.<br/><br/>""I don't know Chad, not sure if that will be a good idea.

He offered a hand to his fellow trainer, his grin widening further. ""Deal?""<br/><br/>As Professor Oak watched the pair, he couldn't help but feel nistalgic. How many times had he watched this very scene? What would these two go on to do? Would they become the best of friends, or bitter rivals? Even now he couldn't tell, but that was truly up to them now.

The boy said with heart full smile, and recalls Petilil to her ball as she happily danced in place before getting sucked into the ball as the boy then.

After all he has Petilil from Unova, along with a Pikachu who at the time were eating the electrical wires of the apartment building, him and his mom are living at in Saffron city. All the while running into a Dratini...though not entirely sure where or when he caught her, or even remember running into the little dragon...but he has to say. His team is very unique...<br/><br/>It will take him a while before letting out a soft sigh, and looking over the little hill top he is standing on. Admiring.the scenery in front of him. Feeling the soft winds blowing against his hair and such, even chuckling when Petilil decided to come out from her ball and hopped into his arms and then worked her way up to his shoulders. Rubbing and nudging her cheek against his. ""What do you think Petilil should we stay here a bit longer, to get some experience or continue moving forward?"" He asked the little grass type.

The figure was walking down the path, but suddenly stopped and looked at Robert, a pair of eye's visible beneath the hat.

<br/>The Great Festival had come once more.<br/><br/>The tradition that stretched across hundreds of years between the four Crystal Continents was held every five years, to foster good-will and alliance between the kingdom's rulers. As such, races of all kinds mingled together to spar, trade, or even just converse with each other.<br/>Quietus, the neutral land that always hosted this festival, was ruled by a fair and just King, even if his lands were otherwise not note-worthy. Regardless, he, like his predecessors before him, worked to ensure that any bad blood the other monarchs may have with each other did not spill out into war.<br/><br/>Said King was now seated at a large, round table of oak, hands steepled upon the desk as he frowned at the other king before him. The ruler of Quietus, known as Dedrich, was deeply concerned about this man.<br/><br/>Canicus, the King of Flamma, was not an easy man to associate with. His boisterous, arrogant and overbearing attitude made him difficult to speak with civilly, and he did not like his opinion being contradicted. The muscled, battle-hardened king was also not find of others injecting their opinions regarding his rule.<br/><br/>""For the last time,"" Canicus spoke in a growling voice, my Kingdom's crystal is perfectly fine! There has been on influx of monsters in my lands, no rebellions arising, and certainly not even so much as a <i>crack</i> in the Fire Crystal!""<br/><br/>""Be that as it may,"" Dedrich replied in a considerably calmer tone, ""I, as well as the others, would feel much more at ease if you would provide proof of your Crystal's prosperit-""<br/><br/>A palm cracked the table when they collided, the sound echoing throughout the spacious room.Canicus was on his feet, his growl slowly turning into a snarl with his quickly-mounting anger.<br/>""My Kingdom is as prosperous as magnificent as the day I took to the throne!"" he claimed, pointing a finger towards the female by the towering window, ""Would you seriously take the word of a spy over mine?!""<br/><br/>Dedrich closed his eyes for a moment. Sometimes, playing Peacekeeper between these monarchs <i>sucked</i>.<br/><br/>""Ooh? Are you upset about a little gossip, perhaps?"" the Queen of Amnis chuckled, tearing her teal eyes away from the festivities taking place so far below. Hair matching her eyes fell to her lower back in a graceful wave, radiating an almost serene beauty as she turned to face the furious king, arms folded casually, ""Or maybe you're a little bothered that <i>your</i> spies are still jailed for harming <i>my</i> people?""<br/><br/>Canicus growled once more, his hand twitching for the short blade strapped at his waist, ""Shameless witch! Your lands are wasted under your rule!""<br/><br/>""Enough,"" Dedrich ordered calmly, though his eyes remain clenched shut, ""Do you forget the reason we are all here?""<br/><br/>The Flamma king gritted his teeth, ready to retort, but finally backed down after a moment's internal debate. As much as he would love to crush Queen Lynna for the insults she threw at him and his glorious lands at each and every turn... this was still neutral land. He could risk a war from the other three Kingdoms if he did anything reckless.<br/><br/>Why did he ever bother with this farce of a gathering, anyway?<br/><br/>""...I will return to my chambers,"" Canicus said, turning from the others, ""But I will not drop this discussion with you, Lynna,""<br/><br/>The Queen merely smirked as the firey ruler left, saying to Dedrich once he was out of earshot, ""Quite the grumpy little child, isn't he?""<br/><br/>""Just a bit. I cannot deny that he has some merit in his anger,"" replied the neutral king, finally opening his eyes at the departure of his biggest cause of stress. Lynna glared at him as he continued, ""Yes, I see your reasoning as well. I do not condone either of your actions.""<br/><br/>""...And if I hadn't taken a look into his affairs, I would not have been able to bring that troubling bit of new to light,"" Queen Lynna stated, ""Not once in all of history have the crystals' light so much as flickered! What does that fool hope to gain by hiding that information?""<br/><br/>Sometimes, Dedrich wished he were born a simple townsman. Conversing with every passing Adventurer had to be less stressful than wading through a minefield of politics and hand-holding.<br/><br/>""We will simply have to investigate once everyone has gathered,"" Dedrich decided with dread in his voice, ""Not even King Canicus would ignore a request of investigation if we were all in agreement,""<br/><br/>""You underestimate his ineptitude,"" Lynna sighed, shaking her head as she returned to watching the festival. Quietus' castle was a sprawling architecture that also reached for the clouds. The meeting room was placed in a large tower, overlooking the ocean to the East.<br/><br/>Dedrich hoped, for the sake of everyone, Canicus would at least try and alleviate the fears of his fellow peers.<br/>
</div>
</div><hr/>In contrast to the tense, hostile atmosphere within the castle, the more common folk were having the time of their lives.<br/><br/>Much like previous festivals, the air was thick with jubilation and the yells of opportunistic merchants, hoping to sell their wares to foreigners at (ever so slightly!) raised prices.<br/><br/>As was tradition at the Festival, a small-scale tournament was being held; just a gathering of warriors and admirers sparring for the much-coveted prize of a Rat's Tail. And a free Elixir, courtesy of the Sponsor ""Tony Berri's Cut-Downed Price Shop"".<br/>Elsewhere, a large stage for theatrics was currently helmed by mages all over, attempting to dazzle audiences with creative uses of their spells and equipment. The stalls that ranged from simple, mobile shops to miniature restaurants drew in all manner of people, and the outskirts contained the Chocobo Pens, as well as holding areas for acceptable, tamed beasts.<br/><br/>Amongst the crows was everyone's Superior, Kaltrina Admiranda.<br/><br/>The white-clad girl in glasses walked with her usual, confident air, giving an overly-critical eye to many of the features on display. Nothing here was worth even one of her precious, hard-earned gil! Surely the shopkeepers should try harder than this? There wasn't even a decent-looking cutlass for her!<br/>Well, regardless of her doubts pertaining to quality, her stomach had been rumbling for about twenty minutes. So, after some debate, she finally conceded some of her precious, hard-earned gil in exchange for... something she hoped wasn't supposed to be a fried chocobo coated in malboro slime or something, because it certainly tasted like it.<br/><br/>""Great, now I need to buy an antidote,"" Kaltrina grumbled, throwing the remains of her food over her shoulder. It was aimed at the refuse container behind her, but who knew what could happen in a crowded festival when one did not look where they threw?"

It was some sort of extra sense moogles claimed to have, something that allowed them to detect when there was a problem at close range. If there was anything that Mogwell was willing to offer to anyone, it was a kindly favor or two. So, naturally, Mogwell started heading towards where he thought the conflict was... and promptly stumbled over some stray object. Picking himself up with his tiny arms, Mogwell shook off the fall and looked at what he tripped over: some bunch of cloth that might have been a sorcerer's hat. ""...Kupo?"" the confused moogle thought out loud. Someone wouldn't just leave<i>this</i>thing lying around.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">
<small><b>VitaVitaAR</b> said</small>
<br/>...And where had her hat gone?!<br/>
</blockquote><br/>Mogwell's problem sense flickered again, and he quickly put together that some fellow had lost this hat on accident. With a hop, skip, and a ""Kupo!"", the energetic moogle swooped the massive hat over his own head, prancing around the crowd to find whomever might've been missing it. He finally zeroed in on a young lady whose clothing seemed to resemble the scheme of the hat, and who had a very disoriented look on her face. Marching over to the girl's feet, Mogwell looked up from under the wide-brimmed mage hat as best as he could and asked ""Ku Ku-po?"""

She didn't quite hear her confused query, as it was not quite as loud as the shrieking, and was lost to the voices surrounding them. But the Blue Mage could only assume it was something along the lines of ""Someone of higher importance and intellect has blessed me with their unwanted items"". Yeah, that seemed plausible. Or she had tried to snatch the food from the air. How desperate and shameless.<br/><br/>Well, it may have been horrible food that Kaltrina didn't want, but she had still paid for it, which made it hers. And that meant she would not condone thievery!

Where had that come from...? And then, finally, the black mage girl looked down at her feet, her twintails swishing. Oh, there was her hat! ... And a moogle under it! He must have found her hat and brought it to her! Smiling cheerfully, she snatched her hat and spun it once in her free hand, before placing it on her head. ""Thanks, young moogle! You have assisted BLACK MAGICAL GIRL FERRA-oh wait I still need to figure out where this came from!""<br/><br/>Her hand came down to pat the moogle on the head, while she raised the strange item and looked it over in her other hand.

Her tone wasn't exactly the nicest and neither was what she was saying, but Ferra could clearly charm her into being nicer! ""... I am no thief, however!

That hat was actually fairly heavy, for the petite little creature; the way the girl managed to twirl it around back upon her head made it seem so easy! Her reaction afterwards, then seemed very normal up until when she began to shout her name and title as if she were some spectacular sight (and perhaps she was, not that Mogwell would know). Still, through plain, slitted eyes Mogwell looked at the girl fully and nodded to her thanks.<br/><br/>What soon thereafter followed was a verbal strike against the mage and the moogle, coming from a blue-haired, white clothed lady who for all the world acted like the owned the world. The sun's light glinted through the offender's spectacles as she stared daggers down at the pair, showing herself off in a so arrogant manner that a seed of vengeance sparked in the moogle. ""KUPO!

She should have been used to it by now, having spent a quarter of her life amongst the humans and their cities, but one thing Esmorica never got past was the noise. From the sound of merchants peddling their overpriced wares to drunkards slamming their flagons together in a toast, noise was everywhere. And it was only increased due to the ongoing festival. The rose haired woman currently sat outside a tavern, her chair overlooking the streets. In front of her was a glass of berry wine. The bartender had told her it was elvish in origin. The reason why the glass in front of Esmorica was still mostly full was because it was not, in fact, elvish. But to the humans and other races whose knowledge of elves most likely started and ended with ""loners who live in trees"", the fruit blend of the wine was probably enough to fool them.<br/><br/>Esmorica was hardly an expert on the elves, though she suspected out of everyone in attendance at today's festival she would be considered a scholar. It helped having elvish blood. But she was not here to reconnect to her elvish kin. The only reason Esmorica had come to the fesitval, to this country at all, was sheer curiosity. In her century of living, she hadn't been to the Great Festival, and as of now she was remembering why she had put it off for one hundred years. Lazily, the woman twirled her thin finger along the rim of the wine glass, a soft tune sounding out. Her expression showed both annoyance and boredom, and her posture added to that. She was adorned in a maroon outfit made of fine cloth that hung loose on her frame. She was especially slender, but not in a sickly fashion. So slim she was that she had to lean forward in her chair, upper torso hovering over the table, just to lazily swirl her finger around the glass rim.<br/><br/>To those not in the know, Esmorica could pass for a human, albeit one who looked like she had been missing meals for twenty years. She didn't look a day above her late twenties, despite being five times older than that. The perks, the curse, of elvish blood.<br/><br/>Currently, her emerald eyes were observing a scene involving a moogle and some humans, females by the look and sound of it,and then joined by a male. She sighed, continuing to produce soft musical tones from her wine glass. The antics of these humans, how excitable they got, it was all so utterly dull, so trite, so pathetic.<br/><br/>""Children at play,"" she spoke of the revelry going on with the moogle and the other humans, ""Children away from their parents, causing their mischief, their troubles, no concern or care for anyone or anything. Tiresome, the lot of them. Tiresome, this entire affair.""<br/><br/>Esmorica sighed and shook her head. Come next festival, she would be far away from here."

Around he could see a variety of creatures, humans, dwarves, moogles, even an elf or two, like the one sitting outside with a full glass of some drink, looking very disinterested in the going on of the world around her. While some may have mistaken her for a human, Ososai was keen enough of eye to note the physical differences that shows she was an elf.<br/><br/>His gaze was then drawn to the ongoing disagreement. regular humans bickering over..something, with a moogle involved as well.

Somewhere in the distance, roars from that stupid tournament could be heard.<br/><br/>The Blue Mage really wanted to snark heavily at something, but she was at a bit of a loss. After all, it was tough to disagree that, food it may be, the stuff was difficult to recognise as such. Poke fun at her introduction? Perhaps, but there was a crowd drawing, and she didn't want idiots leaping to defend other idiots. Then she'd be stuck facing off against an Idiot Army. Idiot Armies were, like, the third worst thing she could face in this life filled with mediocre peers. The moogle was already acting up and screaming gibberish at her, after all.<br/><br/>With a 'hmph' and a flourishing motion as she adjusted her glinting glasses, Kaltrina slapped on a condescending smirk, saying, ""...I don't care who you are, foolish girl. Just don't dare presume you can feed from my scraps again."" The arrogant mage turned to leave.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, a traveling caravan was approaching the festival grounds. The large wagon, covered in a thick cloth, obviously held some kind of beast within. It was scheduled for a gladiatorial battle against the finest soldiers of the four kingdoms, for the citizens to watch. Officially, it was supposed to symbolise unity against adversity, but it was rather rare to find anyone who actually knew this these days. Whatever creature lay within was not exactly weak, and there was great difficulty in capturing it, but it seemed docile enough for now."

It was like the horrible result of some kind of run-in between two extremely grotesque monsters, not anything remotely approaching being edible. However, her focus was quickly on the girl again. She was sounding kind of mean, but... it wasn't a problem at all! Clearly she was just nervous, or shy! ""No beautiful girl like you should ever have to endure such a monstrous attempt at cooking! If you tell me who sold you something like this, I can help you get your money back in the name of love and justice! And then, I'll buy you a better meal!""<br/><br/>Oh yes, this was the first step.

Each Crystal resides on a separate continent:<br/><ul><br/><li>The Fire Crystal of the Flamma continent, known for its volcanic climate, and the Gulg Volcano. The city of Hibana is the main power here, with its King being known for his tight-fisted rule. Despite the less-than-fruitful terrain, the people here manage to make a living. As do the rock-eating trolls and such.</li><br/><li>The Water Crystal, located in an underwater ruin within the Amnis Continent. The Town of Minato functions as the largest port town and the kingdom's hub, where the Queen resides. Mermaids are still seen as mythical and make-believe, even though there's, like, twenty spottings a year.</li><br/><li>The Air Crystal can be found on the floating continent of Divum, where the Avian-Humes generally reside. Due to its small stature, there's only one city to be found - Sobieru. Due to the ill health of the king, the winged prince is currently in charge, though he doesn't seem too good at it.</li><br/><li>Finally, the Earth Crystal is found in Solum, the kingdom here being Rikuchi. Due to its mountainous terrain, the gnomic people generally live underground, or in remote areas. The Gnomish King and Queen rule the land here.</li><br/><li>Another continent of note is Quietus, a land situated between the other four (well, three if a floating continent isn't counted...). Due to certain hostilities that sometimes flare between kingdoms for various reasons, this land is used as a place for non-hostile negotiation, or inter-continental contests held once every five years.</li><br/></ul><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<br/>Jobs tend to fall into one of three categories; Melee, Magic and Support.<br/><br/>Melee: Anyone who prefers shoving swords into the skulls of goblins, or punching Flans to death, would fall into here. Favouring physical capabilities over that of magic, these guys excel at either killing or taking hits.<br/>For now, the available jobs under this category are: <br/><br/><li>Warrior: Standard swordsman. Stab things, not die immediately, may or may not have a thing for powering up for a single, high-powered slash. Straight-forward and effective.</li><br/><li>Monk: Punch things and probably maybe die pretty quickly. Using the power of their fists (or nunchuks. Or claws. Or poles), Monks will beat the hell out of their opponent. Some can even channel ki for special attacks.</li><br/><li>Thief: Probably not a class one should should boast of publically, but whether you use your skills to rob the rich, poor or monster, no one can deny that Thieves are damn good at slipping through one's fingers. And poking things.</li><br/><li>Hunter: Archers who tend to know the local wildlife. Hunters are pretty darn good at sniping things. Especially the birds.</li><br/><br/>Magic: For those that would rather rain fiery death upon the masses, or fix everything that ails you with a quick chant, would fall under here. White and Black magic are the two most prominent schools of magic, though obviously not the only ones.<br/>For now, the available jobs under this category are:<br/><br/><li>White Mage: Standard healers. One thing to note; White Mages use only Healing spells (Cure and its upgrades), Dia spells (Anti-Undead, basically), Aero spells and Holy spells (obviously unavailable for now, although for the sake of expanding their list a bit, some upgrades and lower-grade versions of Holy can exist, like 'Pearl').</li><br/><li>Black Mage: Standard nukes. Black Mages excel at throwing around spells. Note; the Elements available to a Black are Fire, Thunder, Water and Ice. Also, Drain and Osmose spells.</li><br/><li>Time Mage: Guess what these guys do? That's right, shoot meteors at people and slap gravity in the face! Oh, and something about time alteration or something.</li><br/><li>Evoker: The Summoner-lite's. While they may not be able to call upon the likes of Ifrit or Titan, they can instead call upon... that Flaming Salamander thingy, or a talking rock monster. Yeah.</li><br/><br/>Support: Anyone who excels at nothing, or specialises in altering the capabilities of friend and foe alike, fall here. Not direct fighters, but more like background fighters. It is said that anyone within this archetype has an innate ability to be the best dressed.<br/>For now, the available jobs under this category are:<br/><br/><li>Red Mage: By combining the powers of White and Black, you get... Red. Huh. Red Mages try to do everything at once; fight, nuke, heal. They say that a Red Mage can never master anything, but tell that to any fashion aficionado and get laughed at for your foolishness.</li><br/><li>Blue Mage: A strange branch of Magic that focuses on harnessing the powers of monsters. Often the overly-situational ones, but they occasionally manage to learn some really awesome stuff.</li><br/><li>Green Mage: They're like a counterpart to White Mages, for some reason. While Green Mages can't do the healing thing, they can certainly do their best to make a White Mage obsolete, using their own brand of magic to protect allies, depower enemies... or just plant their hammers into a monster's face and hope for the best.</li><br/><li>Beastmaster: Those with the strange ability to communicate with even the most ferocious of monsters. While permanent taming is seen as ridiculously impossible, Beastmasters can still utilise the creatures they tame in various ways, from transport to protection, and weaker-minded monsters take an extremely long time to ever break free of the tamer's control.</li><br/><br/>For those who want to be Dark Knights or Scholars and the like; never fear, for the possibility to upgrade shall happen. Eventually. May or may not involve Rat Tails.<br/><br/>Feel free to ask me for more information about the Jobs, and remember, we're not starting with Meteor and Bahamut.<br/>

Dwarves are amazing at building things. And beating up golems.<br/>Mer-people: These incredibly rare specimens live, shockingly enough, in non-land areas.

</blockquote><br/><br/>I'm not, I just forgot to add a word.<br/><br/>Buffing and de-buffing would be quite useful in several situations, I think. It would certainly be boring if pure power was the only thing needed to beat everything. Plus, if I recall, Green Mages were also Fencers, so they'rte somewhat similar to Red Mages. Kind of. Maybe.<br/>As for Beastmasters, they would have the ability to calm down and tame monsters, from rampaging Chocobos to... sufficiently beaten-up monsters. Though the stronger the monster, the more difficult it would be to keep it under control.<br/><br/>Oh, and before I forget, I should mention that, for the Evoker, the summoning they'll be doing at this stage would be summoning things like Elementals or Faeries and the like.

She hardly ever seems to stop or slow down for anything, no matter what it may be. Indeed, she will probably plow forward into just about anything and completely ignore how dangerous it might be. She enjoys theatrics, cheerfully and dramatically introducing herself as ""The Sable Witch! Mistress of the Blackest Magic!"" while striking a rather fancy pose. One of these reasons is that Ferra is actually a rather massive flirt, and she is trying to impress people. Pretty girls, specifically. Ferra has a passion for flashy magic, fancy poses, and pretty girls. She will flirt with any and every pretty girls she runs across in any way she possibly can, from extolling their appearance to sliding down the strap of her tank top in an attempt to make herself look more alluring.

Her chocolate brown eyes, the windows to her soul, are inquisitive and adventurous, yet innocent and naive. Curly mahogany hair, which when untamed (more often than not), looks like a tumbleweed on her head, frames her face which is smooth as silk and milky brown. When straightened, it falls to her shoulders, yet she mostly keeps it up in a messy ponytail. Her ears are small, always hidden under her hair or headphones. She’s an average body type, not too thin, but not without a pudge here and there. Her arms and legs are small as well, with little muscle, although she’s very flexible due to studying dance throughout her life. She also has a tattoo of a four-leaf clover on her right thigh. She often wears short dresses or long shirts and short shorts to show off her figure.<br/><br/>Age: 19<br/><br/>Primary ability: Alchemy<br/><br/>Preferred magic: Botanokinesis, power to create, shape, and manipulate plants.<br/><br/>Personality: Anamaria knows she doesn’t have it all figured out, and she doesn’t pretend to do so. Instead, she takes every day as an adventure, while still clinging to the ones close to her for guidance. She’s cheerful about her life, and always asks questions, which can sometimes be mistaken for childish behavior. She hates being treated like a child, and will often try to prove herself if needed. When she messes up, she isn’t afraid to show how upset she is, though she is insecure about many things. She may be quietly staring at you from across the room at first, but by the first five minutes, she will have approached you and asked you at least three questions. Only later will she think about the negatives.<br/><br/>History: Anamaria has always looked up to her mother in life. Her mother gave birth to her at a young age, and it’s been just them ever since. Between running her bakery and raising her child, Sofia rarely had time to herself, but she didn’t care. Anamaria was her angel and miracle, and she wouldn’t change that for anything. Anamaria didn’t mind either; she enjoyed watching her mother work and even tried to help, but she did often feel bad for taking away her mother’s golden years.<br/>These days, she always has her head in cookbooks of different kinds, though she does take time to hang out with friends and people around the neighborhood. Although sometimes her mother tries to be too involved with her friends, Anamaria tries not to be too hard on her since she’s not much older than her daughter. Now that she’s at Dreamworks, she can experience life from under her mother’s protective wing. <br/><br/>Major: Botany<br/><br/>Extracurricular Activities: Dancing and Yoga<br/>

Against everything she had been taught. The rules were there to protect their species. That's what her father always said to everyone. That if they were ever found out they would be captured and tested. That the humans would be so scared of them that they would completely wipe out their species. But Misty didn't believe that. She hadn't only been a child for a little while before the humans started building their cities under the water. If you could call them cities, they were more of test sites, testing to see if they could survive under the water because they had slowly started to lose space on land. She had seen them trying the same thing in the air too, but there was nothing there that was hiding from them. Her whole species had managed to stay hidden, even after there were cameras put under the water, after they started sending giant metal ships that stayed under the water. But now that there were cities Misty didn't give it long before they were found out. Before the humans had so many little underwater cities that the mermaids had no where else to hide, no where to escape them.<br/><br/>But she had a soft spot for the humans. They didn't think so, but they were helpless under the water. They didn't know the rules of the water and they couldn't breath under the water without their metal tanks full of air. She loved to watch them from a distance, to watch how they interacted with each other. Sometimes she would poke her head out of the water and watch them on the beaches enjoying the sun together. There had been a few times she went ashore herself and tried to interact with them, but she could only stay up for so long before she had to return to the water, before she had to return home before someone missed her. Her father knew that she liked to explore on her own, and she knew it worried him more than anything, but she was a free spirit. She had to see what the outside world held.<br/><br/>Today was no different. She was more aware of what was going on with the humans than any of her kind because the rest hid, trained to fight if they had to, but stayed out of site. Misty would watch them, follow the divers and watch what they did. Watched the battles between the different countries that had their little underworld cities trying to lay claim to the spaces. Today there was a group of eight divers, all men, that were heading towards a Russian city under the water. Misty liked these divers, they were around a lot checking things out and making sure that things were kept in line. She saw them as the guarders of the ocean in a way. They were tough, strong and a team. She didn't like the Russians, they didn't care what they did to the creatures of the ocean, didn't care if they were polluting the water and destroying the homes of the helpless creatures that lived in it. She didn't know why the group was heading towards the city, but it intrigued her.<br/><br/>She kept her distance like she always did, stayed out of site. She had managed to never been seen no matter how many times she followed the group. She knew what the weapons they carried were capable of and they scared her a little. But she also knew that the weapons had never been turned on a sea creature unless it had been trying to harm them. It only happened once, they had been attacked by one of the sharks and had killed it. None of them had been harmed, but part of her thought they hadn't wanted to kill the shark. It gave them no option though. She slipped a little closer, gliding behind a rock as she watched them moving fluidly through the water. Even though they didn't have any fins like she did, they seemed at home in the water."

Your missions is in the Pacific Ocean."" The tall man had told them. ""At 0700 local time we intercepted a distress message from the Russian city of New Moscow."" The man said as a holographic image appeared behind him. It showed the underwater city of New Moscow. The 6 men at the table looked at it with eager eyes. It was about time they got off the sub.<br/><br/>""What did the message say?"" Asked the leader of the group. He had an air of cocky easea to him. Like most West Coast SEALS he was always like that. They were known for being jokers. His team was no different. Eacxh of them were like brothers to each other. They had gone through the training together and each trusted the others. They would lay down their lives if the chance presented itself. It was their way. They had not expected the mission to go so wrong.<br/><br/>""The message stated that something had gotten loose. It was free. That was all if said."" The man told them. The image then changed to a satelite image of the area. ""Alright since you morons can't read so history. New Moscow was built five years ago. It was designed in response to our own underwater cities of New New York and New Chicago. Like usual the Russians are late to the party."" That line earned a few laughs. ""We have always thought that the Russians were doing something terrible in the area. Examinations of local wildlife have shown increased mutations. Truly nasty things. We think they are doing genetic expirements there. We have advised the Russians blow the place up if they have lost control but we doubt they will listen.""<br/><br/>""Your mission is to infiltrate the base and find out why the Ruskies are so scared. You will be dropped 5 klicks away from the site to swim the rest. You lot need to work on your names. Be like Seals. In out in 3 hours. SEAL Team you have your orders. You leave at 0500. Dismissed."" The man said leaving the room with a turn. The team went tehir seperate ways and the next morning they went off.<br/><br/>The mission was standard affair. A shark tried to take a bite out of the team leader. He stabbed it through the eye but did not feel a rush from it. They had invaded its area. ""Looks like them sharks prefer surfers after all."" A thich Texan accent drawled in his ear piece. ""Shut it Shoefield."" The leader quipped back the laughter from their team in his ears. ""Look sharp we are there."" He said as they reached the city.<br/><br/>The rest was a blur really. He remembered the city filled with monsters. Well mutants. He remembered ordering his team to leave him when he tried to hold back the creatures. He remembered the explosion forcing him into the ocean. At least his suit would protect him. This was how he was going to die. In the ocean. He closed his eyes. Death was coming he knew it."

They were horrible things, it would be one thing if they were making things that would be nice, would work well with the environment. But they were making things that were killed and destroying the natural creatures when they got out. They didn't get out much, Misty knew her father had even made a team that hunted the mutations down in hopes of protecting the sea creatures. When she watched the team move in, watched them start to lose the fight she found it harder and harder to stay hidden. She wanted so desperately to go in and help save the humans that she had grown fond of!<br/><br/>She watched in vein as the team backed up, all but one of them, regrouped and got ready to go back in, that's when all hell really broke lose. Something exploded, the shockwave sent her back and put a halt to the team going back in to save their other member. The explosion had killed the majority of the mutations and she knew they ones that had escaped wouldn't last long once her father's team found them. But what she was more concerned with was the man that was pushed too far for his team to find him. The man that had been closest to the explosion. She took off at full speed after him, her heart dropping when she saw his limp form. She had to get him out of the water. The bubbles coming from his tank meant he wouldn't have the oxygen that he needed to survive.<br/><br/>She pushed faster through the water snatching the man as she swam past him towards the surface of the water. He was heavy, but she was a strong swimmer and she could breathe. Once she surfaced she yanked the gadget that was on his face off and managed to get the tank that was attached to his back off also so he wouldn't be so heavy. He still didn't stir though, she could tell he was alive, but he was unconscious. She couldn't just leave him here, he would die! She quickly swam towards a small island that the humans never went to. She couldn't risk being seen dragging him to shore, she wouldn't be able to hide what she was!<br/><br/>As soon as she got to the beach she pulled him up as far as she could until she had to drag herself to shore, her legs turning to human legs. She quickly grabbed his shoulders and pulled him up further on the beach making sure he was breathing. There was a small cut on his forehead and it had started to bleed a little more once he was out of the water. She ran quickly back into the ocean diving down to a deeper spot and grabbing a handful of some of the seaweed the healer used on cuts. She hurried back where she had left the man and quickly cleaned off the cut applying the seaweed the way she had been taught.<br/><br/>Biting her lip she looked around. She couldn't stay, couldn't risk being seen, but she wanted to make sure he was ok. She quickly ran towards the inner part of the island and hide behind some of the trees wanting to wait until he woke up before she went back out to sea. Found a way to let someone know where he was!"

One minute he swor he saw a beautiful girl carrying him the next he was out again. He was dreaming of home. A small town on the California coast. He was dreaming of his family. Of his house. He was returning from a surf session when it had happened. A starnge undertow had carried him out. He fell into the water and felt he would die. But somehow he had made it to shore alive. He had no idea how he hd gotten there but he felt the sea had given him his life. A loan if you will. One he planned repay. He had always loved the sea after that. Some said saltwater flowed through his viens instead of blood. He had never tested that theory.<br/><br/>The thing missing from the dream was his own family. The job made having kids and a wife rather hard. He wanted one but he had a low life chance so no one would marry him. He thought he was rather good looking. Well some people said he did. His hair was a constant shade of blonde. His face was always a bit rugged since that was the style of a SEAL.<br/><br/>The dream eneded suddenly with the sounds of waves crashing over him. He felt the cool sea air on his face. Was he alive? Had the ocean really released him twice? He opened his eyes and looked around. He could see the sky and knew that he was safe. He sat up a piece of seaweeed sliding off of his forehead. Odd... He looked around and started to laugh. He was safe. He was so damn luckily. He had to get out of the wetsuit since it did not doo good when dry. He was wearing only a pair of workout shorts underneath but that was fine with him. His skin was tanned from years under the sun but it was covered in scars. He was extremely muscular but that came with the job.<br/><br/>As he lay with his bare back to the sand he noticed something. Footprints leading away from him. He looked around and saw they led to the treeline. They looked female so he did not take his knife. He walked towards the trees and could have sworn he saw someone. ""Hey? Is anyone out there? Cause if there is I owe you my life. You must have dragged me to shore right?"" He asked the trees. ""I won't hurt you I promise."" He said hoping he would conivince the person to come out. While he waited he climbed up one of the trees and grabbed some mangos. He started to eat one and left one for the mystery woman."
882,The secrets of the sea (Avanhelsing and TennesseeBelle),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17872-the-secrets-of-the-sea-avanhelsing-and-tennesseebelle,['1x1'],2014-03-10 05:51:00,TennesseeBelle,"Misty had found her stash of human clothes and had pulled on one of the things they wore to go swimming. It was a two piece thing, no where comfortable in her opinion, but it was proper. She went back to the treeline and saw the human sitting up looking around as if a little surprised. He pulled the suit he had on off and she couldn't help but stare at all the scars on his tanned skin. She jumped a little when he looked her direction and she quickly hid behind one of the larger trees. When he called out to her she wasn't sure what to do. Should she respond? Should she go talk to him, or just go hide in the water now that he was better.<br/><br/>He climbed up in one of the trees and got some of the fruit from it climbing back down. She watched him set one at the tree line then start to eat another one of them. She had had the mangos before, they really weren't all that bad. But she was more scared of going so close to the human. He was taller then here, and built like some of the fighters from her group. She didn't know what made her slowly inch her way closer, but she made sure she was between him and the ocean. If she needed to she could take off and swim away to safety. She may end up exposing what she was in the process, but she would take the risk if it meant surviving.<br/><br/>She grabbed the mango up and walked a little ways away from him as she took a bite trying to remember how normal human females reacted to things and just acted in general.<br/><br/>""How does your head feel?"" She asked eyeing the cut that was on his forehead as she glanced back towards the ocean."

There had been someone there. A woman. A rather e beautiful one at that. Not that he was checking her out but he totally was. He thought share looks odd. Like there was something off about her. Maybe she lived around here. Like she was a castaway. What good luck then that she had found him. He looked at her and smiled. It was a glowing smiling. Some said it was his best feature. His smile.<br/><br/>She was shorter than he was. Still beautiful but smaller. Nothing wrong with th that. He had imagined his rescuer to be big and tough. Still she would be nice company here. Oddly she kept looking at the sea.<br/><br/>""I'm fine thank you. "" He said still grinning. ""Uhh so you saved me? Dragged me out of the ocean?"" If so I owe you my life. But I don't know your name. Captain Shane Ryan. Just Shane though. I was part of a covert SEAL unit till the explosion. "" He said sadly. Was his team alright? "" What's your name?"" He asked hoping she would tell him."

He held himself like he was used to being in charge. Seemed to be confident and in control even though he had nearly been blown to bits earlier and was now on a deserted island. She needed to figure out a way to fix the last part, she knew humans liked to be around other humans. She noticed his voice sound a little sad his face showing the same expression when he talked about his team. She knew she couldn't tell him they were fine though, not without letting him know she had been there and that just wouldn't have been possible. She still wasn't sure what he thought of her, if he was buying the whole human thing or not. She thought up a lie quickly and shrugged a little.<br/><br/>""I saw you floating out there, unconscious, so I pulled you in."" She replied with another small shrug. She took another bite of the mango as she looked out over the ocean keeping an eye out for his team, which would surprise her if they came this far, or any other mermaids who would spot her. ""I'm Misty, it's nice to meet you Captain Shane Ryan. What explosion are you talking about? I didn't see anything.""<br/><br/>She knew at the distance from the explosion they were at, she wouldn't have seen it, and if he went back in the water he would figure that out. She couldn't take the chance of being caught in a lie, though she still wasn't sure if she was going to be able to explain how she was on this island to begin with. Especially sense there wasn't a house or anything like humans normally stayed in."

""It is just Shane. Like how your name is just Misty. Pretty name by the way."" He said looking at her smiling. She was different then he had expected her. She seemed like she did know a lot about this area. Odd as it was but he still wanted to be around her. She seemed friendly enough .<br/>He looked at her for a minute. Why did he feel that she was bit off. Maybe she did know a lot of people? Had she been raised here? Part of him thought that she did not talk to alot of people. He looked at her and sat down.<br/><br/>""My team and I were investigating something important. I stayed back to cover my team. They hopefully survived. I was caught in the explosion.So uhh Misty do you live here? "" He asked trying to get out of the sad mood he was in."

Misty smiled trying to make him feel better. A shrill sound coming from the ocean hit her ears and she felt her heart sink. She had to get back home and get back right now! She knew Shane probably wouldn't have picked up on the sound, but she did. She dropped the mango she had in her hand and spun around running towards the woods at full speeds heading towards one of the cave systems that were in the middle of the island. She could jump straight down into the cave and then swim out back into the ocean. She made sure not to run a straight line to the cave or run on the sand so that hopefully Shane couldn't follow her. She dove straight down into the cave system pulling off her swinsuit as she did.<br/><br/>As soon as she hit the water she felt her tail form again and the covering for her chest. She swam skillfully through the cave systems and straight towards home finding her father talking to the whole shimmer of mermaids and mermen. She slipped in the back and listened to him talking about the explosion and the mutants that had escaped. There was a fool proof plan to take them out. He also talked about a group of humans that were swimming around as if looking for something or someone. He warned no one approached them and fled as soon as they saw them. Misty couldn't help but think maybe that was Shane's group that he had been separated from. When her father dismissed everyone she turned to go back to Shane and hopefully help him build a shelter or something, try and figure out a way to get him home.<br/><br/>""Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere after the explosion, I was so scared it had killed you."" Her father said looking her up and down to make sure she was ok.<br/><br/>""I'm fine, I was no where near it when it exploded. Just exploring a little."" She shrugged.<br/><br/>""I wish you would stay closer to home, Misty, it's dangerous out there."" Her father said crossing his arms. ""You need to find a mate, settle down.""<br/><br/>""I've no interest in finding a mate anytime soon. I can't take care of myself."" She huffed as she spun around and took off towards her island and the human that was trapped on it. On the way she caught a few fish that she knew humans liked to eat. She slipped on the beach opposite where she had left him and quickly found her stash of clothes. She jogged into the woods and saw the starts of a shelter that she had attempted to build a long time ago. She wasn't sure how it all worked, but she wanted a human home. It didn't keep rain out, or any weather for that matter. But she had made a little cot like thing and cleared the area around it. There was a hole dug in the ground for a fire, and when a ship overturned she had salvaged some waterproof matches and some lighters that hadn't gotten too wet before she put them in a bag. She kept those things stashed away in a little trunk in the cot with other little knicknacks she had picked up here and there.<br/><br/>Misty laid the fish out on a stump by the shack and started a fire slipping back into the woods once it was burning. She hoped Shane would find it on his own, she wasn't sure she wanted to face more questions like the one before. But she could easily watch him from the woods. Make sure he was ok. Try and plan a way to get him back with his own kind."

He lost her eventually. She was faster than she looked and he was still dazed. He was desperate though. He was not going to lose the one person he had here. She was his only friend right now. His only chance at talking to someone. Except what if she was some kind of mental breakdown on his part? That all of this was his dying brain's attempt to save itself by creating a world around him. He had seen it before. Soldiers who were dying would make up illusions as their brains died. As they lost more and more they would lose everything. But something about this felt real. Like Misty was for real. Though that would be his luck. His mind creates a woman who saves him but is hiding something from him. He did not have a lot of luck when it came to this type of stuff. Well he had never had a near death event like this but he was hoping it was real. It had to be right?<br/><br/>He looked around the trees. He had this feeling he was being watched but unlike before with Misty it fel like whoever was glaring at him did not like him all that much. It could be some kind of animal? a tiger? Were those native to this area? He had no idea but part of him was hoping not. Hewnet back to the beach and grabbed his stuff. His radio was fried. He could get bits of information but not a lot. He heard his name a few times but he could not respond. He heard something about them searching for him. He was praying thsat they would find him. But till then he would have to find shelter. He grabbed his knife and walked back to the trees.<br/><br/>Eventually he swore he could smell the scent of a fire. MAybe that was where Misty was? He walked till he found the place. It looked like a shelter. He would have to do a lot of work to make it a place he could live. He grabbed the fish and put it on a stick to roast it. he thought he was a good cook. Once it was done he took his knife and cut it in half. He knew Misty was out there. ""Misty? I know you are out there. I want to see you again and I thought you might be hungry."" He was terrible at talking to women. He hoped that she was there. He clearly looked lonely. The fire light played on his skin accenting each muscle."

She wanted to get to know him, learn more about his kind but she was scared to also. What if he found out what she was, captured her to be tested on and she put her entire species at risk? Her curiosity got the best of her though. What was the saying the humans had. Curiosity killed the cat? Whatever a cat was. She slowly walked over to where he was and sat down on a log across the fire from him still keeping her distance a little.<br/><br/>""I know this place isn't much."" She said softly as she looked around the small campsite. ""I'm not exactly good at building shelter.""<br/><br/>She looked back at him studying the way the fire light seemed to dance on his skin. She had so many questions, but if she asked them he would think she was either crazy or that she wasn't human. She wanted to know everything she could about the humans, including what a cat was now that she had succumbed to curiosity. She didn't want to kill something and definitely didn't want to die because of it.<br/><br/>""I'm sorry I left so quickly."" She said looking down at her hands a little. What would her excuse be? ""I'm not used to anyone being here."""

She seened to be studying him. Watching everything that he was doing like she had never seen a man before. What if she had not? What if she was a castaway who had never had anyone here It would explain why she ran. She was scared of him. Heck most people were scared of him. She was no exception. He watchd her sitting away from him.Odd. Most lonely people would want the company. Not her though.<br/><br/>""You know with a bit of work I could get it to be a great shelter. We were trained on how to live off the land. I could teach ypu."" He said smiling at her.<br/><br/>He watched her when she looked away for a bit. he was curious about her? How had she gotten here? Why? He looked away quickly. He wanted o help her honestly and tomorrow he would fix this place up. Make it so she could live here better. or maybe get her off the island. Save her. He wondered if she had any family on the mainland. He had no way of knowing.<br/><br/>""It's okay. I was worried I had scared you. Honestly I sort of missed you. I mean you are the only other person here."" he admitted. ""So uhh how did you get here? On the island I mean."""

It was going to make it where she needed to get back in the water sooner than she normally would've have. She wasn't sure how to answer his question, she had noticed that sometimes when a human didn't want to answer something they would just ignore the question all together. Change the subject. At least that was what she had witnessed the few times she had tried to blend in with them.<br/><br/>""That's one of the reasons I like this place so much, it's so quiet and peaceful."" She shrugged a little looking towards the woods. ""There aren't any right or wrong way to do things. You didn't scare me, I thought maybe you would want more than mangos so I went and got some fish.""<br/><br/>She stood up, she needed to move away from the fire. She slipped over towards the treeline and looked through the woods."

Heck a dead body could have told him she was lying. He had all the mangos he needed with in his grasp. He did not need her to get him more. She ws hiding something rather huge from him by lying but what? Was it something bad? Was she a russian sent here to get him to talk? It would make sense from a paranoid perspective. She was acting strange.<br/><br/>""It must get pretty lonely out here all alone. Unless there are others out there? Is that true are you trying to kill me? You have been cagey since I got here. What is the deal?"" he asked not taking her changing the subject again. He could have sworn he saw something in the trees."

She wasn't sure what would make him think that. She had pulled him to safety, saved his life, tried to treat his wound, brought him food! How was that trying to kill him?<br/><br/>""I saved your life? Why would I do that if I was trying to kill you. I've never killed anyone in my whole life, minus the fish I eat. I would never kill another living being unless I had to to survive. It's the way of the se...earth. You take what you have to to survive, and leave enough behind for it to continue multiplying and thriving."" She replied slightly hurt that he would think she wanted to do him harm. Learn about him, maybe, but harm him! ""There is no one else on this island, least not that I'm aware of. Sailors avoid it because whether they believe it or not there is an old myth that it's home to sirens.""<br/><br/>Sirens were something that were real, but they hadn't inhabited this island in centuries. They had moved on to other hunting grounds. Sirens were like the mermaids, but they were pure evil. All they wanted to do was cause suffering and death, mermaids cherished all life and wanted nothing but to coexist with everything else, everything else that was natural at least. The mutations were a different story."

There was an innocence to her. It was childlike. She did not know a lot about the world but that did not matter. ""How do I know you are not a siren? They say sirens are beautiful.

He grabbed his knife and motioned for her to hide. He knew it had to be one of the mutants.<br/><br/>He was right. A shark looking thing came tumbling out of the trees. It was hideous to look at. It looked like some sort of shark thing. It charged for Misty first. Shane moved like a snake and attacked it. It focused on his next clawing at him and drawing blood. He managed to stab it in the throat and it went down in a puddle of blood. Shane looked at her breathing heavy. ""You... You okay?"" He asked not looking so great himself. He had killed it with relative ease but it had been painful."

Facing one of these things in the water was one thing, but seeing them on land was a whole other thing. They were even more dangerous than she had thought they could be.

It wasn't deathly deep, but it was deep none the less.<br/><br/>""I'm fine, but you aren't."" She said as she looked at the cut. She needed to go get some seaweed to put on it to stop the bleeding.

She watched him as he sat down and then turned on her heels and ran towards the cave system. She took a flying leap and dived into the water feeling her body shift back to it's normal form. She swam through cave after cave until she got back out to the ocean. Her mind raced with different things the healer used, she wasn't sure if they worked as well on humans as they did mermaids, but it was worth a shot. She collected some seaweed and was about to head back when she saw another of the mutants. She ducked behind a rock hoping it didn't see her, but her hopes were crushed when it took off towards her.<br/><br/><i>Shit</i>She thought as she took off away from the island swimming as fast as she could weaving in and out of the rocks. The mutations looked like it was part shark part octopus. Whatever it was she didn't want anything to do with it. She swam faster twisting around a rock so that when the mutations went past the rock it passed her. She took back off the way she had come and went up the beach line holding the seaweed in her hand. She was half way up the beach when she heard her name.<br/><br/>""Misty? What are you doing out here?"" A familiar voice demanded. She spun on her heel and saw one of her father's top fighters. ""There are mutations all over this part of the sea! You need to go back to the shimmer, it's safer there. Plus, there is a human here.""<br/><br/>Misty's heart was in her stomach. She felt like she was going to be sick, she was friends with Erick, but if he told her father she would never be allowed to leave again. She took a deep breath as she thought about what Erick had said. Tried to figure out what to say.<br/><br/>""I know there is a human here, I brought him here."" She said glancing at Erick knowing she was done for.<br/><br/>""WHAT!"" He demanded storming towards her and stopping a few feet away his arms crossed. ""What do you mean<i>you</i>brought him here?""<br/><br/>""He was going to die, Erick! I couldn't let him die!"" Misty replied looking at the seaweed in her hands. ""He's hurt, a mutant attacked him, I've got to help him until the others can find him.""<br/><br/>""Do you know how dangerous this is? What would your father say?!"" Erick growled out.<br/><br/>""Please don't tell my father, listen he thinks I'm human. I'm not going to slip up, I promise. Just until his kind finds him, please Erick don't tell my father!"" Misty begged as she looked back up at Erick.<br/><br/>""Fine, but I want to meet this human that you're willing to risk our entire species over."" Erick growled.<br/><br/>""You'll need clothes."" Misty replied with a thankful smile. She ran through the woods with Erick on her tail and found her small stash of clothing. She didn't have much in the way of male clothes, but she managed to find a pair of shorts and tank top for Erick. She pulled back on the bikini she had been in earlier and slipped towards where she had left Shane the seaweed in hand."

Maybe out of exhaustion. He was in godly tired. He started to dream. Of many things. Like how he had met his team. They had been seen as screw ups. Terrible SEALS. Course that was not the truth. They were just disorganized. Shane had met Shoefield after a fight. They had been arguing and it had led to them being ordered to work together. Through that they had become close friends. From there the two had made their team. From there they became the best team the SEALs had.<br/><br/>He woke up and she was still gone but he heard footsteps. It sounded like her but there was a second pair if footsteps. He got up and hid in the forrest. Away from where they could see. He trust Misty but it was the second person. A male built like a soldier. Shane creeped away and managed to get behind them. He was great at stealth but did not want to get caught. He charged out and tackled the guy to the ground. He had left his knife. After wrestling with the guy for a minute he managed to slightly subdue him with the guy's back to the ground. ""Who the hell are you? Better question, you said you were alone Misty. Not the truth huh?"" He said still worried. He was still hurt but holding the guy down. Just like he was trained."

Where had he gone? Did something get him! Just as she was about to ask Erick to track him Shane came out of the woods and tackled Erick. They struggled for a while, but Shane came out on top. Misty had a feeling that if they were in water it would be a different story.<br/><br/>""STOP!"" She screamed wanting Shane to get off Erick. If Erick didn't like him he would tell her father and she wouldn't be allowed away from the Shimmer unsupervised.<br/><br/>""Who the hell are you?"" Erick growled struggling under the human above him. Misty could tell Erick wasn't happy with being pinned down.<br/><br/>""Shane that's Erick, he's a friend. Erick this is Shane. I didn't lie. There wasn't anyone else on the island."" She frowned chewing on her lower lip a little. ""He just came to make sure I was ok. Please get off him so I can fix your arm!"""

Odd. He thought they were alone. Yet this guy was built like a soldier. Someone who could fight but why was he here?how was he here? All these questions were in his head right now. Except this guy was pissed but seemed to be out of his element right now. Like he was a fish out of water. Why did he think that? There was something odd about this guy. Misty seemed comfortable around him. Which made this even more strange. How did she know him? Either way Shane felt he needed to be friends with this guy.<br/><br/>Shane got off of him letting him off the ground. He reached down and helped the guy up by pulling him up with his arm. ""Sorry friend. Just trained to do that. Deal with bad situations. You sort of startled and my training kicked in. But you know about that right? You seem like a fighter of some kind. Takes one to know one. Oh. Captain Shane Ryan. United States Navy. SEAL. "" He said sitting down so Misty could patch him up.<br/><br/>""As I said sorry for that. Uhh how do you and Misty know each other?"" He asked subtly trying to catch them in a lie. Something was off here. He could tell."

She glanced up at Erick who was watching Shane carefully, she knew she was going to get chewed out.<br/><br/>""Navy SEAL? Like those people that are from the underwater cities?"" Erick asked crossing his arms an annoyed look on his face. ""The ones that are making crazy mutations that destroy everything in their path?""<br/><br/>Misty bit her lower lip a little. Erick needed to shut up before he said or did something that showed what they were. He wasn't used to talking to humans, probably never had until right now.<br/><br/>""Erick, I don't think he would be one of the ones making the mutations. That's what hurt him.""

How did Erick know about New Moscow? A secret base under about a 300 feet of water? How did he know the mutants came from it? This was classified information. No one knew it. Except this guy did. How ? Did he have a diving suit? Why would the creatures matter to him. Few would leave the sea. Unless...<br/><br/>""Wow how long you been here? Most people know what a SEAL is. United States Navy Sea, Air, Land. Hear that? United States. Not Russia. The Russians were making those monsters. Not the United States. See the difference. "" He said then something hit him. How did they not know this?<br/><br/>""Wait. Where the heck are you from, Erick? Not the US. You would know what a SEAL is. We are sort of famous. "" He said looking at the guy. Part of him did not want to anger him. Misty trusted him but they were in cahoots. She knew something. Time to catch them in a lie.""Hang on. How do you know about the city?!

How was Erick going to cover that up? How were they going to keep Shane from finding out about what they were. She backed away from Shane a little bit, pretending it was because she was done with his bandage, but in all honesty if he found out the truth about them she didn't want to be in arms length of him. He seemed nice enough, but what if he captured her, or even killed her.<br/><br/>""You aren't the first person to wash up."" Erick replied his jaw twitching a little. Then he motioned towards Shane's arm. ""Plus, as you found out we aren't strangers to the mutations.""<br/><br/>It was then that Misty realized just how stupid she had been. They could come up with excuses all day, but there was no proof of how they got on or off the island. No proof of anyone living on the island. No way to explain any of that."

More people had washed up? Could he mean his team? What of some of them survived. What if they were dead? More blood on his hands. He did not want it that way. He could not bear more deaths cause he messed up. He looked at Erick in time to see his jaw twitch. A tell. He was lying through his teeth.<br/><br/>""Wait there were others? What happened to them? Let me guess the mutants got them. Hang on. The mutants have been a problem here? Looks like the Ruskies have not had control here. "" He said softly. ""You know I won't hurt you Misty. Not after you saved me. "" He said noticing her backing away. Though he was more curious with her friend.<br/><br/>""Hey Erick. You and I have a soldiers build. Like you know how to fight. Where did you learn? I mean you look tough but I could take you easily. "" He boasted. He figured a little ribbing would make Erick like him more.

Misty said when he asked about the others. ""Normally they were too far gone to save, too many injuries and I didn't know what to do.""<br/><br/>She watched as he said he could take Erick, on land that could very well be the case. She was hoping Erick wouldn't say that though, it would definatly give away that something was right. But she had a feeling that Shane already suspected something was off. What had she done? Had she really put her whole people at risk?<br/><br/>""It's a family thing, always be prepared for anything and protect your family and people no matter the cost."" Erick replied standing a little taller with his shoulders squared. ""In the right environment you wouldn't stand a chance. Misty had said you were hurt, I was exactly thinking I was going to get jumped. That's the only reason you got the best of me, hu...Shane.""<br/><br/>Misty caught him nearly slip human in there and she fought to keep from holding her breath. She needed to get Erick out of here and fast! They were going to get caught if he kept talking, he wasn't used to having to act human and it wasn't going as well as it should."

That was not his name. Well he was human. But wasn't Erick and Misty? Human he meant. Sure she was unnaturally easy on the eyes. It was odd. She seemed nervous with he and Erick talking. But why? It was just two guys squaring off. Hell but two guys together and if they didn't try to one up the other then things were wrong. He though Erick seemed relatively normal.<br/><br/>So there were no survivors. Had his team made it? He wanted to know but right now he had to stand up to his challenge. ""You know I respect that feeling. It's what my people and I stand for. It's why we were going after the city. To save lives. ""<br/><br/>""Oh so you were surprised huh? Then what about you and me keep it even?"" He said standing up straight and squaring up on Erick. The two were evenly built. Erick was half an inch taller. Shane noticed Misty wanted them apart. Why? They were just having a stand off. These happened all the time on base. ""I could beat you right now. My injury won't stop me. Unless you are afraid to fight me. "" He said looking at Erick head on. He was doing this to look tougher than he really felt. ""So come on then. Fight me. Unless you have to run away. "" He said egging him on. He did not have his knife."

No fighting, it's not necessary."" She frowned looking between the two. When she looked at Erick her eyes flashed orange for a split second. She would use her royal heritage if she had to. She would make Erick stand down, even if she didn't like making someone else do something. She saw Erick's jaw twitch in anger.<br/><br/>""Move, Misty, we're not going to kill each other."" Erick laughed a little. ""Plus, I'm not about to let this puny SEAL beat me."""

Heck I do this all the time. It's fun where I come from and normal. "" He said looking around Misty. He was not backing down. ""That and I'm not letting some scrawny looking beach bum beat me.

""Plus, it's not polite to fight in front of a girl, or so I'm told.""<br/><br/>She turned her attention to Erick her eyebrow raised to see if he was going to try to argue with her. She could tell he wanted to and she was not going to have any of it.<br/><br/>""I'm not backing down from this meathead."" Erick huffed his eyes focused on Shane. She could tell he wanted to fight him, and she wondered if part of it was because he wanted to see how he would match up against a human on land.<br/><br/>""Well neither of you are fighting. You are not about to fight my guest so you might as well back down."" Misty replied putting her hands on her hips and raising an eyebrow a little daring him to say otherwise. She threw the same look at Shane, she couldn't let them fight, because if for whatever reason the fight moved to water they were screwed."

He needed to have Misty save him. Why was he getting that Erick was trying to impress Misty. Maybe he was trying to figure it out. Still he got the feeling that Erick and Misty knew more then they were letting on. Also why did he get the feeling that Misty was in control here. That Erick was her underling but he did not know. ""I think he would be the one who would need to be patched up.""<br/><br/>"" I'm not backing down from this wimp. "" Shane glared looking confident. He wanted to see if this guy could fight at all. Unless he was just blustering. But Misty's glare said not know. Course he would still make a stab at the guy. ""Meathead? Its called muscular. I could beat you anywhere. Maybe when you don't have Misty to help you."" He said looking at the guy.<br/><br/>""Alright fine Misty. We won;t fight right now.Course he will learn I'm better than him. So you want to fight then come back whenever. For round two."" He said smirking at Erick. ""Alright so what do we need to do now? "" He said looking at Misty smiling. He figured ignoring Erick would get the point across. He was wondering what Misty's damage was. ""So uhh how did you two meet?"" He asked looking at her hoping that this guy would eventually leave them alone."

She replied with a shrug.<br/><br/>""Though you haven't been this crazy all your life. Taking care of someone you know nothing about.""

That seems a bit suspect.<br/><br/>He let it go and watched them argue for a bit. Was she crazy for helping him? He did not think so. He owed her a debt now. He would keep her safe. No matter what.<br/><br/>""Him? I have a name, you bum. It's Shane. Try not to forget it. "" He said matching the stare. ""Misty saved my life and I owe her a debt. Of my life. I will keep her safe.

Could he not tell that he was only adding fuel to a flame. That he might as well have been egging Shane on. ""How about you go home, ok? Please.""<br/><br/>She said please, but she didn't mean it. He needed to leave and he needed to leave now. Things were going to escalate out of hand if he didn't.<br/><br/>""I'll go, but I give you an hour, if I haven't seen you by then I'm finding your father."" Erick said. She felt herself go stiff.

There was even little starlight here, so far between stars. No one in their right mind would ever think to come out here to this barren patch of space. The sheer, utter blankness of the place was enough to drive men mad, some would whisper in hushed tones over the tops of their drinks. The complete and total lack of anything to rest your eyes on was anathema to the conscious mind, a dark road to insanity.<br/><br/>Then, in the midst of the unyielding darkness, a tiny pinprick of light blossomed from nowhere. It hung for one terrifying second and then began to grow, fast and faster, the blackness of empty space forced to retreat before it as it exploded into brilliant light. When it had grown to a relatively large size it began to waver and shimmer, splitting with a visible shudder down the middle to reveal it was not only simple light. It was a hyperspace window. The window shuddered again as a metal ship came tumbling out, and then closed, vanishing as if it had never even existed. The ship was still there, though, literally tumbling end-over-end through empty space, flames shooting out at random intervals and little pieces of the hull flying off into nowhere. It was obvious this ship was in peril, or possibly just in need of serious work. With this particular ship's crew, you never could tell.<br/><br/><b>Aylek</b><br/>""Daisy! What did you doooooooo!"" the last word out of his mouth was cut off as the ship tumbled in time with a flicker in the ship's failing inertial dampeners, causing him to fly haphazardly into the other side of the ship's inner hull. He hit with an 'oof!' and a growl before the direction reversed, sending him slamming again. He tried to yell again, but his words were cut off as he felt the ship try to pull that stupid trick on him again. He grabbed an upper beam in the ceiling as the ship tumbled further, swung around brutally but otherwise not moving. He bared his teeth and started to move his paws along the beam, slowly and painfully making his way towards the bridge, where he'd last seen Daisy.<br/>He had only moments before walked away to find time for himself, and now he was going back. There was no escape. He hissed and kept moving, hoping that the fiery-haired human would find him so he didn't get killed by anything not nailed down. In a major, almost badly-invented coincidence, as soon as the thought passed through his mind he was forced to jump as a large piece of furniture barreled down the hallway. He watched it go, silently hoping it'd breach the hull so they could all die, and then started to claw his way back towards the bridge, wondering if Daisy was even still there."

The ginger yelled, clutching the side of the bridge and pressing every button he could reach without losing his grip. ""Ikusen!"" Daisy hollered. ""You're supposed to be the smart one, you do something!""<br/>Ikusen, who had flattened himself against the wall, shook his head. ""Not moving!""<br/>Daisy sighed. ""I have to do<i>everything</i>myself. And quite frankly, I'm getting a little<i>tired</i>of it."" Having thrown his tantrum, he crawled back to the cockpit. ""Aylek! Should I slam on the brakes?!"" he yelled. ""I'm hitting the brakes!!"" Before Ikusen had time to scream the multiple reasons why slamming the brakes would be a terrible idea, Daisy had hit all of the buttons he decided might be the brakes. Evidently one of them was, because the ship careened to a stop. Daisy slammed into the windshield, groaning. Ikusen was ripped from his place on the wall and catapulted across the bridge, landing with a thud. The other button he'd pressed was a sprinkler, which responded almost as well as the brakes had, drenching the crew.<br/>""Daisy. . Why?"" Ikusen gasped, making a feeble effort to get up.<br/>Daisy peeled himself off the window. ""You should all be thanking me. I saved you all."""

He kept hanging onto the bulkhead as the ship started to go even crazier around him -if that was possible- eeven as the ship continued on its tilt-a-whirl course through space. All the doors started to swing open and close again, bashing into him and sending him spinning only to get hit by another opening door. He got pushed around a couple of times by this, growling and kicking, before he finally got ahold of that ceiling beam and got out of the way of the demon doors. He was clinging to the thing for dear life when someone apparently shut off the inertial dampeners, sending him thudding into the floor and zipping towards the bridge. He yelled out, clawing at the floor and trying to find something to grab onto, when the compensators reversed, stopping him completely and making him feel like he was made of lead. He lay there like a sack of potatoes for a long moment, hoping that sofa didn't come back this way, when the compensators failed again, literally throwing him to the roof. He grabbed onto it desperately, shutting his eyes and praying to every deity he could think of, and inventing some on the spot, that he could stay here.<br/>That was when he heard it. It was a deep rumble, like a demon in the pits of hell, a nightmarish noise that made him shudder at his very core. It was the sofa, shooting down the hallway behind him like a herald of the apocalypse, and he tried to make himself smaller and smaller so that it wouldn't murder him. He didn't think he'd be able to stand it if his gravestone read<i>""Aylek- The sofa won.""</i>He gritted his teeth and shut his eyes, listening as the possessed piece of living room decor shot down the deck. It passed under him easily and kept going, not even slowing down when the compensators flickered in and out. ""Daisy! Your couch is incoming! Get out of the way!"" He yelled, not wishing that death on anyone. He heard it slam into the viewport on the bridge and bit his lip.<br/>Then it was over, and as the compensators flickered one final time he dropped to the floor, hanging his head as the ship came to a final stop. The three of them sat in a reverent silence, and Aylek didn't know if it was fate or misery that had saved them from being killed like dirt in a washing machine. Something wouldn't let them die, and he was partially grateful for that. He started to smile a little, life seeming more precious than it had before. That was the exact moment the sprinklers came on, dousing him and soaking right through his clothes to wet down his fur. His smile vanished, replaced with misery. He hung his head again, pulling his knees up to his chest, glancing at Ikusen before shutting his eyes. ""Daisy,"" he started slowly, ""did the couch get to you?"""

Daisy replied. ""I'm sitting in it right now. Ikusen, get some snacks."" Ikusen shut off the sprinklers, sighing heavily. He chucked a bag of chips in Daisy's general direction.<br/>""Shouldn't we, you know, clean up the water everywhere?"" He asked, ringing out his jacket and shaking his hair.<br/>""Good idea."" Said Daisy. ""I'll open a window!"" Ikusen screamed loudly enough this time.<br/>""Whatever, then. Aylek, why don't you come in here and get us flying again?"" Daisy looked over at the lion huddled on the floor. ""What's wrong with you, anyway?"" Daisy stood, walking over to the cupboards and poured himself a glass of juice. ""So I was thinking like, when we find a planet, we should totally stop and get some supplies. If I ever figure out where we're going, it's probably far away from here. We're running out of goldfish crackers. And baking powder.""<br/>""That's not baking powder!"" Ikusen looked horrified. ""When did you get that?! And how'd you get it on the ship?""<br/>""My pocket?"" Intoned Daisy. ""The security's not exactly up to TSA standards here."" He sighed dramatically. ""Come on, Aylek, fly me to the moon. Like into the moon. Straight at it. If we went at full speed, how fair would we get inside of a moon before we stopped? Let's find out."""

He shook out his mane and then stood up shakily, glaring at Daisy. ""I almost died a lot of horrible ways in the last five minutes."" He cursed and stripped his soaked shirt off, wringing it out and then tossing it over the sofa to dry. He bit his lip and then started towards the ship's main console, looking at the mess of blinking lights and error messages. ""If we ever get moving again,"" he muttered, looking back at the two before turning to mess with the controls again. ""Is there any button at all that you<i>didn't</i>push?"" He eyed the powder in the ginger's hands, wondering why he even needed it. It's not like it would do anything for him- or to him. He was already at a different level.<br/>He knelt in front of the panel and took off the slider right in front, gazing into the interior of the ship's command center at the mess of wires and glowing lights. ""Daisy,"" he called back, ""I think there's a large chance that we're gonna be stuck here for a while."" He put his hands into the space, trying to feel for the wire that was connected to the hyperdrive readout. If he could just get that, they could get started. If he could just- ""Ah!"" he growled and jumped back, clutching his hand. Something had just given him a nasty shock. Something was loose in there, and he'd have to fix it quickly if he wanted to get started. The lion narrowed his eyes and stuck his hand back in there, looking for the bastard wire that'd gotten him. each and every coil he could feel was wrapped tight, until one gave beneath his fingers. He grinned, ""gotcha!"" he shoved the loose coil back up into its spot, a satisfied grin on his face. After that, the hyperdrive readout was easy to find, and he hooked it back in, standing up to thumb the dash and send the readout hovering in the air at eye level. It wasn't pretty.<br/>After a while of messing around with it, he turned to his two shipmates and shook his head grimly. ""We're not using the hyperdrive for a long, long time. Honestly I don't really understand how we've been going so far, with no money and no spare parts. It's like we've been running on duct tape and dreams."" He turned back to the dash, ""but there's a little good news; there's a planet within roughly three days' travel from here. We can go there and take our chances, or-"" he tilted his head, ""no, that's really our only option."""

""I can get it now if you want.<br/><br/>""It's like we've been running on duct tape and dreams.""<br/>""We have, actually. I'm pretty sure of it."" Daisy nodded. ""That's pretty much all we have left. But if you say we can get to this planet, great! I can rob, lie, and con my way into enough money to buy a harem.""<br/><br/>""Daisy, we want to fix the ship, not buy a harem."" Ikusen was mopping up the floor, his soaked shirt discarded on the table.<br/>""I never said I was going to actually<i>buy</i>a harem, I just said that we<i>could</i>. Just keeping our options out there."" Daisy shrugged. ""you guys want some dinner? I'm starving. I could eat an entire cruise ship, orphans and all.""<br/>""<i>Daisy!</i>"" Ikusen snapped.<br/>""Just because I can doesn't mean I will."" Daisy retorted. ""Besides, there aren't any cruise ships around."" He rummaged in the cupboards, using a rather nefarious looking chair as a stool. ""You guys like beets? I have like 500 cans of beets. We don't even need a cruise ship. We have beets."""

Lights started to come back on as they got the much needed power they'd been cut off from, along with a piercing wail that warned them of their impending exit from hyperspace. He angrily shut that one off with a frustrated yank of the coil and the high-pitched noise cut off abruptly, leaving his sensitive ears ringing.<br/>He turned back to Daisy and Ikusen, nodding and starting to head out of the main bridge toward his quarters so he could change into something that wasn't dirty and soaked. ""Somehow I don't think we could keep a harem for very long."" He swiped a can of beets from Daisy's hand and peeled the top with a single claw, munching on one idly as he walked out. He heard that last remark and yelled, ""You're too late! Ylyria got to the bus full of orphans first!""<br/>He didn't turn the lights on when he got to his quarters, instead relying on his natural night vision to change quickly into a dark tunic and pants, slipping foot-molded boots onto his feet and walking back out, thankful he was dry again, at least.

Daisy said sagely, peeling a beet off of the table and sticking it in his mouth.

And wet.""<br/>""So go change, like the rest of us."" Ikusen suggested.<br/>The ginger man considered this for a few moments. Finally, he got up and walked out, looking as though he hadn't considered this before. He flicked the lights on in his chambers and removed the blasters and sword hung at his hips. A few minutes later he replaced them over his customary cream shirt and plaid jeans before walking out again. His mood had changed with the clothes. ""Aylek!."" he snapped. ""I want to be at this planet within 24 hours. Or so help me god,"" -He drew his sword and pointed it at the Deither- ""I'll use your internal organs for a necklace."""

He nodded, backing away toward the recently-fixed control panel and turned, moving his hands expertly across it anf guiding the ship's various essential systems online. Yellow status lights kept popping up, telling the cat that the ship was truly only a stray breeze away from collapsing like a dying star, but since they'd come this far, he hoped it'd get them just a little farther before she finally died.<br/>He powered up sublight engines slowly, feeling the rumble grow under his feet as he fed them more and more of the ship's precious power reserves.

Mild tempuratures on an early spring day. Just two weeks after the radioactive man known as Tox seemingly exploded over the five square blocks of the city now quarantined, where the tempurature is a few degrees hotter than it should be for obvious reasons. Had it not been a criminal transport flight gone wrong Plex or one of the other new heroes of the city may have taken blame. Plex now has a few duplicates set up in various parts of the city, connected by the telepathy that links them all like an instant messenger app in their minds. It's no big addition to his power, but it makes Lucas and his duplicates more organized in a way. And his training and missions with the panther like teleporting Leopold of the Allies didn't hurt either. Lucas had a duplicate standing in for him at the garage, Miller Tire & Break, located just up the road from Warpath River. Five miles away and that much closer to downtown Engine City was Jefferson Heights where Lucas had a loft apartment that was obviously divided into a bachelor pad and a man cave with a separate entrance that served as his superhero base of operations. He had saved some money with all he'd earned in the Allies working for the United Nations, but not enough to have a Bat Cave.<br/><br/>Plex's other agents were in disguise throughout the city, another skill he'd learned from his friends in the Allies. While he was tossing around some ideas at his apartment and getting ready to go on patrol himself he had a duplicate disguised as a homeless man near Battery Park, another is hiking the endge of a mountain looking over what is essentially the heart of Engine City [namely several large factories so close they're almost connected]. Like an industrial trailer park but instead of being a subdivision it was like it's own half of the city with some factories being larger than many of the building and skyscrapers. Other duplicates are stationed in civilian clothes in places like coffee shops, the Fort Thompson Mall, and generally just walking around.<br/><br/>""Something doesn't sit right with me about the whole Tox situation,"" Lucas thought while taking a shower and getting in-costume to go on an early patrol himself, ""any other time he was easy enough to contain but now his leftover slime and energy isn't coming together again to reshape him a body. It seems as though Carter Hills was targeted on the east end of the city about three miles from Thomas Sweeny High School. But how did Tox's mass expand and explode, and why Carter Hills?""<br/><br/>After getting dressed and stretching in his apartment, he went up a fire escape to the roof where he made a duplicate or two and reabsorbed them to get the mass for giant growth.<br/><br/>""Sorry to make you guys just to reabsorb you..."" he said to them.<br/><br/>""It's okay, we got used to it with the Allies needing a giant man more than man power."" one of the duplicates responded before a light blue glow from the original Plex absorbed the two like a black hole making the original Plex roughly ten to eleven feet tall and now bulletproof.<br/><br/>The original Lucas was the only one who could reabsorb the mass itself for giant growth. He now jogged and leaped from rooftop to rooftop throughout downtown Engine City like a more proportionate Hulk from the comic books on the racks at the Quik-E-mart.<br/><br/>""I need to try and get into Carter Hills past the quarantined lines of defense. Not many large buildings to leap from and I don't know anyone with the ability to fly or a plane to drop me down in there. There's got to be some clues as to why this is happening the way it is, a cover up perhaps?"" Plex continued thinking while on patrol.<br/><br/>~KL~"

Various people were leaning against the walls of the alley, dressed in ragged clothes, and trash littered the ground. He looked over at one of the nearby men, who he had hired as a guard, and asked him why no-one had come for medical attention.<br/>""Well sir,"" he replied with a gruff voice, ""people've heard about the quarantine, and are afraid they might get infected.""<br/>Damien stared at the man for a moment. ""Where is the quarantine zone?""<br/>The man pointed in the general direction, and Damien took off.<i>Why would an area be quarantined?</i>he thought to himself as he headed that direction. He suddenly stopped as he rounded a corner, CDC and SWAT teams covered the area, seemingly working to build a make-shift fence of some kind. Damien quickly backed into a nearby alley, and climbed up a fire escape to the roof of a building. He looked out over the quarantined area, and saw people wondering aimlessly through the streets. Every now and then they would bump into each-other, then continue walking like nothing had happened.<i>What is going on?</i>he thought, astonished by their behavior.

She was a 25-year old Chinese immigrant who had moved to Engine City the previous year and quickly secured work as a lawyer's secretary. Her name was emblazoned upon a small gold plate that read 'Liu Qing'. Qing had short black hair and wore a typical secretary's blazer and skirt, but her eyes were an unusually bright shade of blue.<br/><br/>Qing kept working, not looking at the keyboard as she fervently keyed in data, totally transfixed on her work. On her left eardrum was a tiny speaker, which was imperceptible to the naked eye. When she originally started working here, she managed to slip in a receiver in her boss' office that would help her overhear anything her superior would say when she wasn't around. Her boss, Martin Lloyd, had influential contacts within the political, military, financial and legal worlds, and he was often paid exorbitant amounts for his services. This was why she had infiltrated the office; whoever his contacts were would be hers as well, whether he knew it or not. Qing was using the speaker to listen in on a private phone conversation while focused on her work.<br/><br/><i>""Right... yeah, okay,""</i>Lloyd's voice echoed in the speaker.<i>""So you wish to... lawsuit against... for the Carter Hills incident... Your daughter... quarantined even though... healthy the day before. My condolences, Senator. However... cannot use... argument against them. The villain Tox... far greater threat... ever before. But if we use... in the trial...""</i><br/><br/>The static was overwhelming Qing's hearing, so she opted to turn it off. She needed to think about replacing the receiver with a new one when she had the chance. Despite the poor reception, she had a good idea of who Lloyd was talking to - some Senator who lost his daughter in the Carter Hills tragedy brought upon by the super villain Tox. She didn't know the purpose behind his attack, but it put Engine City on far higher alert than ever. The eastern district was cordoned off, although she wasn't sure if the government was planning to create a cure or leave the victims to Tox's mercy. None of this affected Lloyd's office in the west, so Qing was completely safe working here. As she was also an immigrant, she had no connections to anyone from the east, so she wasn't concerned with the losses.<br/><br/>With the conversation fresh in her mind, Qing robotically worked on her documents while planning what to do once she punched out for the night. She definitely wanted to find out who this Senator was that (apparently) wanted to sue the city for neglecting its citizens. Perhaps there would be a job opportunity if she went to meet him this evening. Finding out the man's name would be easy once Lloyd was gone to play with his mistresses."

Clutching his stomach the young man walked through the streets of Engine City keeping his head down desperate to avoid being seen, if anyone saw him they might tell the police and then he'd have to go back to 'the men in white coats'. A baseball cap pulled tightly over his head to conceal his amethyst eyes, Avery made a beeline for the nearest news stand. Picking up the Engine Gazette a single story dominated the headlines. ""Super-villain Tox's death leads to quarantine."" Avery disliked the term 'super-villain' things were rarely so black and white in the world.<br/><br/>The paper noted the quarantine zone as being 'Carter Hills' what was once a 'friendly' part of Engine City had become a bio-hazard. Towards the back of the newspaper there was another story more close to home for Avery. 'Eldritch still on the run after gas-station hold-up' The paper painted him to be a monster, sometimes Avery believed them.<br/>The truth was that Avery was confronted by the police for the destruction of a government facility and had to take a cashier hostage, since then Avery had gotten nothing but bad press.<br/><br/>A five by five free block meant that there was bound to room for some looting, perhaps even some food if Avery was lucky he'd even find enough food to get him through the week maybe even more. It wasn't that Avery was a evil person, he understood what he was doing was wrong, it was simply that there wasn't an alternative for the boy who had been dealt all the wrong cards.<br/><br/>Reaching the district Avery was halted by a uniformed SWAT officer a gun slung across his chest. ""I'm sorry! I have to get in."" Avery whimpered as a single tentacle wrapped around the man's neck from the ground holding him until he fell unconscious. Leaving the man Avery entered the quarantine zone to see shambling abominations that must have been affected by the radiation. Avery tried to hide his fear of the creatures trying to find an entrance into one of the houses in search of any loot."

He flew down into the quarantine area and was on the look out for the infected. His ghost powers allowed him to easily get into the sealed off place thanks to his flying. But regardless of his flight, he didn't want to draw too much attention and used his ability to become intangible to phase through a building.<br/><br/>He quickly moved through the building since he didn't want to use up too much energy to maintain his intangible state. Once he was on the ground floor, Phantom made himself touchable again, and quickly moved to the door of the abandoned store to observe the commotion. From what he had heard, the super villain known as Tox had infected a good number of civilians on the east end of Engine city, and these poor souls were reduced to mutated flesh melted ghouls that were now a danger to the entire city.<br/><br/>This wouldn't be the first time he had fight sick monsters that belonged in a B movie horror film, but he had yet to battle against ghouls in numbers such as this. But he had to help since he was a hero and there were uninfected people still in the zone who needed help and the authorities already had their hands full with trying to contain the chaos. Phantom opened the door to the streets and went to get into the fray.<br/><br/>First he saw a group of six infected going after a family and Phantom acted quickly, flying straight at the ghouls. When they were within fifteen feet, he used his spiritual energy to lift all six of them up off the ground and slammed them right into the side of a building. He didn't know if the infected civilians could be cured of the disease, so he decided that saving uninfected civilians was of the greatest importance. And that meant stopping the ghouls by any means necessary."

Take any messages for me and close up the office for me.""<br/><br/>She nodded silently and watched him leave. She knew that getup wasn't for a client meeting but rather for him going out with one of his lovers. He never told her that, but she wasn't stupid. The man had a reputation for playing around with celebrities. His irresponsible behavior was perfect for Qing to take advantage of as he rarely paid attention to the gadgets and listening devices she had planted shortly after being hired here.<br/><br/>She turned the phone's voice recorder on and entered his office, confident that she wouldn't be bothered while replacing the damaged listening device with a fresh one. Then she approached a painting of Lloyd in his younger days and reached up for one of the eyes, removing a tiny black camera disguised within the pupil and pocketing it for later use. After that, Qing scoured his documents for any record of the senator that Lloyd spoke to earlier and found a Fargo Tilley, a well-known anti-superhero politician.<br/><br/><i>So Tilley's daughter was caught in Tox's attack. That would certainly lower his opinion of super-powered persons residing in this city,</i>she pondered.<i>Even so, I may be able to eke a mission out of him if I use the girl's safety as my trump card.</i><br/><br/>She continued cleaning up the office, both of her boss' paperwork and her own hidden spying gadgets, before closing up for the night. Qing drove back to her bachelor pad and ate a simple heat-up meal for supper. Once she was ready, she approached her bed and opened one of the drawers below it, then removed the wooden panel at the bottom to reveal her costume. It was an ultramarine tunic and pants, black boots and gloves styled with silver skulls and spines, and a ninja-styled breathing mask she wore on the lower half of her face.<br/><br/>Once she was dressed and out for the evening, Qing would become the underworld mercenary Chaotic Blue - a blue-colored shadow that made her living by taking advantage of discord. Now in her getup, she crossed her fingers together and concentrated until her body turned invisible. Even if anyone were to witness her window opening, no one would see who it was. Chaotic Blue leaped on the balcony and then, thanks to her ninja training, effortlessly jumped from building to building like an invisible grasshopper towards Senator Tilley's home."

Bumping into each other and mumbling, they looked like a poor man's version of some kind of zombie movie. Watching them she wondered what was going through the minds, that was if they had them anywhere. Sighing loudly she turned to look at the border and the guards around her.

Tom asked.<br/><br/>""There is a nasty chemical in the air that is what turned this poor people into these sick ghoulish freaks. i don't what it might do to you so i would leave and try to keep from breaking through the quarantine zone.""<br/><br/>Tom nodded agreeing, if it was true that the toxin was in the air then it would be best to guard just outside the edge of the quarantine in case any of the ghouls break free from the area.<br/><br/>""Thanks for you warning"" he said with gratitude in his tone of voice.<br/><br/>""I may be dead but I'll try to give help to anyone who listen"" the ghost responded. Tom nodded, and then flew off towards the edge of quarantine zone. he hoped that the few survivors managed to get out of the place before becoming infected by the toxins."

Several flags occured within hours and the melted ones inside seemed to be stirred up. There were armed police as well as shady looking SWAT members guarding the line at the ten foot tall wire fences put up around the area. Large wooden barracades were also in place to help with support in case the melted ones charged together. No matter which angle you look at it from, it's always a damn mess.<br/><br/>""For two weeks the Westman Chemical Plant has told civilians to stay out of Carter Hills due to the radiation levels. But nobody has went in looking for survivors unaffected by the direct contact to Tox's leftover mass. Some of those houses have sturdy basements, but it's hard to tell without smoke signals or something. With power out in the area there's no way for anyone inside to reach beyond the quarantine line. Even with the lower levels of radiation directly, the thousands of melted people in Carter Hills are emitting enough radiation to make most people vomit after about an hour or two. Survivors won't have much longer to hold out."" Plex pondered looking at the line from some nearby woods about a block or so away.<br/><br/>He was back to regular size now and trying to form a strategy once he got in there. There were a few law firms in Carter Hills as well as a strip mall, a gas station, and an empty building that used to be a warehouse of some kind. All that plus a bunch of residential housing. Suburbs, sub divisions, trailer parks, you name it. There were also a few train tracks around town.<br/><br/>""If I wait until sundown I'll have no problem sneaking in and getting to the warehouse. That's a kind of obvious place to look for clues... 'old abandoned warehouse,'"" Lucas thought laughing a little bit, not loud enough to be heard. ""After that I'll sweep through the law offices and see if there's maybe some legal action being taken against Westman Chemical for something.""<br/><br/>Lucas faded into the backgroound more and more before coming across one of his duplicated with a duffle bag with civilian clothes. Lucas threw them on and pulled his hair back as best he could and went in the opposite direction of the duplicate. The duplicate that was now being followed.<br/><br/>~KL~"

Not when you could take whatever you wanted and didn’t mind the consequences. Breaking in a house when no one was home. Eat some of their cereal. Go ‘shopping’ through their clothes. Clean up. Alice did bring her own toothbrush. That was one of the few things she bothered to keep with her. Sometimes she ran into kids. She’d just play a few games with them and they wouldn’t mind her staying. Sometimes the kids were older, sometimes it was adults who were as irresponsible as kids. Just a bit of violence fixed that problem. At this point, she was pretty good at just knocking people senseless.<br/><br/>Still, Miss Rose did have a sense of responsibility, and as such she found it would be suitable to have at least some source of income. Money was king, and it was much easier to buy some things than hope that some house somewhere would have it. So she had gotten a job at a run-down pizza shack. It seems they were pretty desperate to hire, since many of their employees took a leave or simply quit. Something about being near a quarantined zone, Alice didn’t really know. Or care. She had never been sick here on Earth. Not beyond the first few flus, colds, and vaccinations. That didn’t count as never did it?<br/><br/>But back to the point, the pizza delivery part-time woman girl was busy staring down some thugs. It wasn’t very effective with sunglasses and some ridiculously logo’d company hat. Quizza Pizza. Did that even make sense? Ah, Alice was sure she missed some part of the recollection that had gotten her in this situation, but it didn’t really matter. Do what you want, deal with the consequences, and forget the rest. She went into action, smacking one thug down with the pizza box, smashing her foot in another’s jaw, and tossing the remaining thug (who tried to run mind you,) into a garbage can. It didn’t matter if the food was ruined in the process. She could just coerce the customer into paying anyways.<i>”Now where’s 216 Oak Street…?”</i>"

</blockquote><br/>Dirk had<i>no</i>idea what he was doing.<br/><br/>Well, no, he knew that he was doing something incredibly dangerous. He also knew had to be out of his mind. It was crazy, stalking through dangerous alleys with literally no idea as to how he would get behind the biggest quarantine he'd ever witnessed. As he stumbled over a discarded trash can, he realized he was probably just an idiot.<br/><br/>It had been months since Dirk had last spoken to Richard ""Tyke"" Bartlett, the short man with a talent for super speed. Things between them had been distant lately, their friendship little more than seeing each other occasionally on social networks. Still, Dirk could fondly recall the man's constant corny jokes and endless amount of energy. It was no surprise that someone who could be just about everywhere at once would have the most zest for life. For someone as vibrant and awesome as Richard, to be stuck behind that dumb quarantine was a crime against humanity.<br/><br/>Dirk knew Richard lived within the quarantine zone, and knew his friend had been in the area when the entire mess began. There was no doubt that Richard would never try to break out of the quarantine to save himself. If the man was still alive, he was probably doing all he could to help those trapped within the quarantine. That's why Dirk had to break in. He had an obligation. The group was going to get back together, even if it would just be the two of them.<br/><br/>It had been a few years now since Dirk had last taken the Conduit get-up out of his closet. He found it fit a bit too snug now, showing off more of his body than he would ever care to show. He had stared at himself in the mirror when he put it on, cursing at himself for not taking care of his body. It was a ritual he went through often, but seeing Conduit look just as flabby as Dirk made him feel worse than ever. If the situation hadn't been so dire, Dirk would have probably fried the house in a torrent of self-pity and stayed in bed. It didn't matter now. Here he was, running around in a stupid too-tight costume and looking like an idiot. Dirk desperately hoped no one he knew would see him.<br/><br/>Turning a corner, Dirk found a strange scene suddenly unfolding before him. A girl was in mid-strike, smashing a pizza box into some poor man's skull. She evidently had superhuman strength, as the man dropped immediately. Effortlessly, she then moved to smash the next guy with her foot before grabbing a fleeing man and tossing him across the street.<br/><br/>Dirk stared. The girl had a pizza delivery hat on.<br/><br/>That kind of strength wasn't exactly uncommon. Superhuman strength was a talent many people possessed, though it was unfortunately not one Dirk possessed. It was the kind of talent that could get one across a heavily guarded quarantine.<br/><br/>In an effort to appear friendly, Dirk raised his hand to wave at the pizza delivery girl. Unconscious to Dirk, a faint blink of static emitted from his hand as he got the girl's attention. If she tried anything funny on him, he would be ready to retaliate.<br/><br/>""Hey,"" he said, walking toward her. ""I, uh..."" He paused, unsure how to word his admittedly odd request. ""You seem pretty strong!""<br/><br/>Right, flexing that charisma."

As he did he was approaching an ally, he new before he even got there, a fight, four people. F*ck me he thought to him self as he approached it and turned looking down the ally, only to see the tail end of the fight as the girl with a pizza box had just defended her self. Goes to show you it's just not safe in this city for your average thug, soon though some one else came up. Was this some new ""superhero"" team, pizza girl and flab boy, he swore that they seem to be getting lazier every year(thought the one with out a costume, and who mostly just works out in the gym, lives in a shitty apartment, and works as a bouncer where he really just stands around and beating the crap out of people half his size. Though his boss said he did make the perfect bouncer, Big, strong, and never speaking with eyes that look like he might simply snap your neck for looking wrong.) For a few moments he stood their looking at the two, before simply turning his back to walk away. But that is when things got complicated.<br/><br/>Some more thugs showed up about four, their three friends on the ground. They looked over at Adrian ""Did you do this? Huh did you beat up my guys"" a taller man about the same height as Adrian said at him as he smiled, reaching back and pulling out a knife as he flicked it open. Adrian grunted, of course he was the first suspect here, even though he did nothing. He personally knew it was the girl, the sounds of her landing after the fight were to light to be the larger male. But people generally belive what their eyes see. And they saw a small girl, a guy in a costume to tight, and then there was Adrian. He walked closer as Adrian just started at him with those hard eyes of his. ""are you going to say something?"" he said as adrain brought up his hands and signed ""i'm deaf and mute"" though another of the thugs stepped forward ""the fuck was that"" This obviously was leading to one thing.<br/><br/>Adrain attacked first, grabbing the arm of the guy with the knife so that he was to the left he pulled down, bringing his right knee up into the guys stomach, Though there was almost no sound to the hit, and you could see the mans lips moving but nothing came out. The next guy pulled out a knife and came at him as he brought his arms up knocking it to the side and punched forward hitting the guy square in the chest as he was sent sailing through the air to the opposite wall, further then a normal person's hit would of sent him and Again, there was not sound from it. The next two guys came at him at once. Bringing us fist, his right extended further then his left, he dipped and weaved under there blows before bringing his right fist out accross to the guy on his left, dip, his left fist hooked hard hitting the man on his right square in the jaw before before bringing his his left elbow over he hit the man on his left, as his right leg came up hitting the man on the right sending him flying back before, like last time he seemed to go further then any normal person could hit him. The one who was on his left was staggering back, his lip bleeding as he pulled out a gun. He shouted something but nothing came back as he reached up grabbing his throat. He only just now realized that there was no sound as he didn't notice it in the heat of the fight. Looking at him Adrain lifted up his left arm, his palm facing him as it jerked back and the man was scent flying through the air hitting the wall behind him. Though there was no sound the other two would be albe to fee the shock wave from that sounds blast. The whole thing was like watching an action movie on mute, and as Adrian looked of at the pair before he turned and walked off.<br/><br/>As soon as he rounded the corner it was like some one suddenly un muted everything, the men laying on the ground groaning, holding parts of there body. They looked to be in much more pain then those hits should of given them, to them though the world was ringing inside there heads as the one with the gun was laying on the ground unconscious with blood dripping out of his ears.<br/><br/>Adrian shoved his hands in to his pockets as he started walking down the street again."

She avoided vehicles as the dull thud of her landings would attract unwanted attention from the drivers. Eventually, she reached Senator Tilley's address in Piston Heights, the affluent part of the city where politicians and celebrities called home.<br/><br/>The ninja perched herself on a thick tree branch just outside his bedroom window, where she saw a woman lying in bed while staring at a photo and bawling silently. She looked emaciated and exhausted from so much crying and worrying, which Chaotic Blue assumed it was related to the family's missing daughter. It looked like Senator Tilley wasn't home for the evening, so she opted to speak with the woman instead.<br/><br/>She hopped onto the balcony and slowly creaked the sliding door open, scaring the bedridden wife as she exclaimed, ""Who's there!?""<br/><br/>""Do not be alarmed. I am not here to bring harm upon you,"" Chaotic Blue murmured, remaining invisible.<br/><br/>""W-What do you want!? Are you one of those superhero alien freaks I've been hearing so much about!?""<br/><br/>""Call me what you will. I have come because I heard about Jennifer TIlley's disappearance in Carter Hills.""<br/><br/>""My daughter...? Where did you hear that from!?"" the woman panicked, reaching for the phone.<br/><br/>""If you wish for me to bring closure to your pain, you would be wise to put that phone down and listen to what I have to say.""<br/><br/>The two women remained silent for a short while, the wife unsure of what to do. Chaotic Blue waited patiently until the stricken lady reluctantly put the phone down and asked, ""What is it? Do you want to rescue my daughter?""<br/><br/>""For a price.""<br/><br/>""Then you're a mercenary?""<br/><br/>""Correct.""<br/><br/>""Why should I have to pay you when there are plenty of other people willing to do the same thing for free?""<br/><br/>""There is no guarantee that those with good intentions will actually try to rescue Jennifer. They would have their own agendas and motives, which wouldn't involve your daughter. At least you can rest assured that I would be venturing in on your behalf. I cannot promise that I will return with good news, but any news is better than living life without answers. Investing in my services will be a guaranteed way to give you some measure of peace.""<br/><br/>More silence. Then the wife sat up and asked, ""How much do you want?""<br/><br/>""As my life will undoubtedly be put on the line, I ask for $500,000, with half paid up front and the remainder upon my return. I prefer cash only.""<br/><br/>""Half a million... Would you have done the same for a poor family?""<br/><br/>""Indeed. Five cents from the impoverished carries as much value as 500 grand from the well-to-do. My rates reflect this country's inherently flawed caste system. Nothing more, nothing less.""<br/><br/>""... Very well. Please give me a moment. My husband won't notice if I take some from his safe. I assume you're invisible right now, so where do you want me to put it?""<br/><br/>""Right here,"" Chaotic Blue knocked her knuckles against the nearest reading table. The wife left, then returned five minutes later with the promised money. The ninja gripped the cash, and to the wife it seemed to suddenly float before vanishing in her pocket.<br/><br/>""You will return with Jennifer, won't you? You won't bail out on me?"" the woman asked fervently.<br/><br/>""I cannot earn my keep without honoring my contracts. I shall be swift as the wind and strike like fire for Jennifer. You must remain immovable as the mountain, and be as silent as the forest regarding our contract. So say Sun Tzu and Takeda Shingen, so we shall abide.""<br/><br/>""I understand. Please come back with Jennifer, if you can. And... please take care of yourself as well.""<br/><br/>""Duly noted,"" Chaotic Blue murmured, then slid the door shut and departed the same way she came."

""Score..."" Jumping back out into the street Avery came to the realization that the entire street was empty, for now. Walking down the barren alleys Avery felt a sense of dread, where had the strange mutated creatures gotten to.<br/><br/>Reaching a dead end Avery sighed loudly slumping against a dumpster. The dumpster began to shake violently as one of the abominations burst out wrapping a clawed hand around Avery's neck. The young man screamed in fear rousing many of the other horrors lurking in the surrounding area. A single vast purple wormhole opened a large squid-like creature bursting forth with a haunting shriek. The beast tore through all of the beasts with extreme brutality ripping them limb from limb with no care for the human life they once held.<br/><br/>As the dust began to settle the huge monstrosity pulled Avery onto it's head and he rode the creature back out onto the streets.

He braced himself, and took off at a sprint towards a nearby rooftop, flying across the gap between the two buildings, his hands grasped the edge, and he pulled himself up. Damien shuffled quickly across the rooftop, hoping to catch a glimpse of who was doing the fighting before it was all over. He arrived just in time to watch from above. He observed the scene quickly, noting the already unconscious thugs, a pizza delivery girl, what looked to be a hero, though in poor shape, and another hero currently in combat with more thugs. The hero was taking out the thugs one by one, using various fighting moves and techniques. Though that was the least intriguing thing about the whole situation, because despite the fighting and obvious yelling from the thugs, Damien could not hear a thing. Everything was completely silent.<i>Interesting. It appears that this hero is able to control sou-</i>. Just before he finished his thought, Damien was hit with a wave of sound, causing him to become slightly unbalanced, before returning to normal. Then it returned, the sounds, Damien could hear the moaning and groaning of the thugs even from such a distance.<i>He must've really given those poor saps what was coming to them</i>.<br/><br/>Damien debated whether he should approach the other hero that had watched the scene, and finally decided that he would. He climbed down the building, and reluctantly approached the hero, unsure of what he would say. He stood by for a moment, and examined the hero. He was slightly overweight, but that could be easily fixed with a little exercise. His suit looked a bit old, as the colors were faded slightly, but nothing that a little money couldn't take care of. Damien then turned his attention to the pizza delivery girl. She looked unphased by the events that had just transpired, which surprised Damien somewhat, but he quickly dismissed it. Walking forward, he put his hand out, expecting a handshake from the hero. ""The name's D- uh, Phoenix."" He said, ""Do you know who that was?"""

However despite herself, she had to think about her objective before engaging with her enemy.<i>'Low impact means to pass through without anyone knowing it? Perhaps its with a low mortality rate....Perhaps it is similar to the tact.'</i>The creature clearly was not skilled in combat, nor was it a natural predator. Zero did not even look at the creature as she cut it down, she was far more interested in solving the mystery of the stipulations of the contract. More of them had approached, but the whistling of her blade and the crystallizing cold made short work of the disgusting trash.

After it was all said in done she grabbed the bridge of her nose, and audibly grunting.<br/>Her thoughts had settled making her once more aware of her surroundings.

Though rather than the actual perpetrator, they seemed to think another passer-by was guilty.<i>""It's more like you're weak.

Staring blankly at his arrival, she watched him ask her recent acquaintance on who the other more recent acquaintance was. After introducing himself, sort of. Was a fake name even an introduction?

""I guess that's why I wanted to ask if-""<br/><br/>The sudden sensation of multiple people approaching the area brought Dirk's attention to another bystander, who hadn't quite popped up on his radar. Dirk was used to filtering all of the meaningless electrical stimulation that surrounded him everyday, as it was far too much to think about on a daily basis. It tended to sit as white noise at the back of his mind. Years of not using the power to pinpoint specific people had left Dirk with very weakened senses, he was realizing.<br/><br/>The bystander was approached by what was likely more thugs. After being unfortunately blamed for the previous fight, another fight broke out, leaving Dirk unsure what he should do. The sudden lack of sound made him freeze, and he found himself mesmerized by the bystander's effortless take down of the second group of thugs.<br/><br/>Christ, there were a lot of superhumans about today.<br/><br/>When it was all over, Dirk was hit by a sudden blast, which probably had something to do with the sound returning. The bystander didn't stick around for much longer after that, and was walking away before Dirk or the pizza delivery girl could say anything.<br/><br/>Dirk considered chasing down the guy, maybe even asking<i>him</i>instead about getting into the quarantine. He even took one step away from the girl before stopping himself. There was something about the guy that told him not to bother. Perhaps it was his strength, or perhaps it was how the guy didn't give Dirk or the girl any attention. It was all sort of intimidating, to say the least.<br/><br/>Following this, Dirk could feel<i>something</i>from above. He quickly turned to find someone descending the building. He frowned inwardly at himself. Awesome, even more heroes got to see him in his stupid Conduit suit. Fuck, did it even matter anymore? Everyone probably thought he was useless looking like he did.<br/><br/>When the new guy approached them, Dirk could see he was was a bit shorter than himself, though probably around the same age. A teenager, maybe. The bandana reminded Dirk of a bandit, though he was sure his mask wasn't much more flattering. As he went to accept the handshake, the girl suddenly placed her pizza box in the guy's outstretched hand. Dirk gave her a sidelong look. ""Phoenix, huh?"" Dirk said, taking the pizza box from him. ""I'm Conduit."" He then resumed the handshake, giving Phoenix the firmest one he could muster.<br/><br/>""I don't have the slightest idea who that guy was, but maybe you do, Miss...?""

He said, just before the pizza box was snatched from his hand by Conduit, and then met with a firm handshake. Damien felt a small amount of his power drain out of him as any of Conduit's physical pain was eased, before quickly letting go of his hand.<br/>""Nice meeting you."" Damien murmured. Conduit then explained that he didn't know who it was, and turned towards the girl hoping for an answer.<br/><br/>Damien took the few moments between answers to examine the thugs strewn about the street, diagnosing each one with various illnesses by noting the symptoms he could see from a distance. He then decided on the best remedy for each individual, though he had no interest in actually helping them. He was known as a peacekeeper among the homeless, as anyone who was reported to have gotten in a brawl, were denied his services from that point on. It seemed cruel to some, but Damien considered it the best way to keep the peace, since he wasn't exactly a martial artist.

Stuck in confusion, awe and a bit of fear, Lucina just stared. She could see there was a man on it's back and she wondered how the hell he managed to get there. That was until a tentacle started to look like it was going to hit her and she growled showing off her sharp teeth, while her fur stuck at end. If she had to, she would fight but honestly she didn't want to find out what this creature tasted like.<br/><br/>Luckily for her though the man seemed to stop the squid, which just made her more curious. Was he controlling it? Then there was the man in front of her offering her some pathetic excuse for bread. She had no idea why he would even offer her any let alone be riding a giant squid beast. It lit her curiosity though and as soon as she heard about the so called 'scientists' he didn't want to go back to, she felt it strike a chord within her.<br/>Lucina put out a paw and pushed back the hand that was holding the bread.

Standing out of sight around the corner he leaned against the wall crossing his arms across his chest and ""listened"", Though he couldn't truly hear anything he more felt the sound then heard it. It was mostly introductions for now, but more then just what they where saying he ""listened"" to how. The slightly out of shape male introduced himself as conduit, the slight fluxiation of his voice and the slightly elevated heart beat told that he was a little nervous or uneasy. The girl, this Alice, was the most interesting to be honest. Her voice was stable as she was rather straight forward, but it was her heart that was most interesting, considering it wasn't human. He could easily ""hear"" that it wasn't the same as a humans. Next came Da phonix, also relatively straight forward with a steady heart beat.<br/><br/>Sitting there he glanced about that fence around the quarantine zone as conduit talked about it. ""Heroes"" always rushing in to their deaths, he found it nonsensical. Things like the quarantine were not his problem. From what he saw on the news the mutated were little more then brainless husk who just shambled around barely aware of anything around them. They weren't a threat, the military could easily gun them down if they tried to leave the quarantine zone, and though he didn't know much about radiation, he knew enough to know that any ""survivors"" were only living on borrowed time as that amount of radiation was sure to kill them. Even if they left the area now the damage had already been done.<br/><br/>He had ""heard"" enough of this so he pushed off the wall and resumed walking to finish up his errands for the day. Shoving his hands back into his pocket he should of grabbed his coat while he was at his apartment, mostly because the hood would of hidden his face from the ""heroes"", but he hoped he was far enough away that thy didn't get a good look at him, and also hoped that they ignored the girls advice to simply catch up to him and ask him who he is."

As a finishing touch, Alice then ripped off one of her black pants legs. At this point she looked completely ridiculous, but that was the point.

Turning down the next street he looked around, there were a bunch of shops, most of them closed as normal people didn't want to wander to close to the radiation zone. Only those few who fancied them selves heroes did.<br/><br/>Suddenly Adrian stopped, It was feint a distant sound of a woman. She screamed in primal fear and agony as the large man looked down clenching his fist before finally punching the wall and looked back at the fence before his eyes drifted to a store front. He turned down an ally coming up to the stores back door, placing his hand on the dead bolt he closed his eyes, it was easy enough as he touched something to get it's resonate frequency and then match it. Soon that lock was literally shaking apart as the metal cracked and started to fall a part. So he simply opened up the door walking in. Running in he found a jacket, a black peacoat with a hood and looked at the price tag. Pulling out his wallet he tossed a hundred dollars on the counter as he swung the coat on zipped and buttoned it up then threw the hood up as it covered his face some what.<br/><br/>Now he was back at the fence hood up as he walked closer to it as a pair of guard walked up to him. ""Hey you can---oooff"" he was cut off by Adrian's fist pounding into his stomach as he quickly shifted and altered aiming for the bottom side of the guards jaw uppercutting as the strike raddled his skull and he lifted off the ground a few inches before falling back unconscious. The first guard was groaning a bit as Adrian turned and kicked him in the head as he rolled some also no unconscious. With that done he ran towards the make shift fence, jumping up and kicking off of a support beam he was able to grab onto the top and pull himself up kicking his legs over it landing on the other side.<br/><br/>The only thing going through Adrian's mind was what the fuck was he doing, these people were dead soon anyways.

He charged right into them and came out behind them as he jumped into the air and came down slamming both his hands into the ground. The air rippled as light was being contorted, like looking in the distance on a hot summer day everything seemed to shiver as well as there being a low groaning sound like that alternated in pitch softly. Soon all of the shambles behind the were sent flying back, unlike the ones before that were simply tossed, this one was an explosive force. The ones closest were being blown away in pieces as there bodies were ripped apart by powerful shock-waves. The damage got less the further it went but it still sent them flying into walls like insects on a windshield splattering and painting the walls with gore. He stood up and turned fallowing the group and resuming as he did before, using concussive waves to knock the shambles back into the air away from the people, nothing as devastating as the other one but it kept them at bay.."

There were always people fighting somewhere if you looked hard enough and a place like this there definitely were going to be a few. What made her ears take notice was the terrified scream of a woman followed by the sudden silencing of it. She couldn't help as her heard turned towards the sound and then again she heard more screaming, there were others. Others that could be silenced just like that lady had been.<br/><br/>Looking back at the odd man before her she frowned slightly, she couldn't help be worried about him. Maybe it was the fact that he had mentioned men in coats and maybe that reminded of her trying to protect June and failing and maybe just maybe that made her care about him. ""Get out of here,"" She said as more as an order then a question.Then without for any reaction from him, she quickly turned into a cheetah and dashed away.<br/><br/>Going as fast as she could, she sprinted to where the sound had come from. Soon she could see the running group and WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! There were shambling creatures going flying past her and this giant wave pushing her into a sudden stop. She looked around to see what the hell could have caused that and there she saw a man with his hands on the ground.<br/><br/>Well I guess all the interesting people came out to play today. Lucina thought before starting to sprint again and running towards where the group was. Without giving them time to even think holy shit there's a cheetah next to me, she sprinted in front of them and then started to jump at one of those getting less sympathetic by the moment melted creatures. Half way through the jump she transformed into a tiger and landed on the creature, making it keel over with the full weight of a 120kg tiger landing on it. She then leaped off the creature to then land on another and another, creating a pathway for the panicking people behind her."

There were the five remaining survivors from earlier and a couple more that had made their way to the group. However more and more of the melted ones began coming to the area with the most commotion and Mal had to dissipate the tracks behind the group as they headed out. There were more survivors in there, but for Mal he was already getting sick and got a taste of the pure oxygen the EMS crew had in tanks for the survivors.<br/><br/>The guy with the hood and the tiger had followed along with the survivors and along with Mal the three of them were kinda off to themselves away from the medical crews.<br/><br/>""So is the tiger like your pet or something? And doesn't anybody wear costumes to at least look like a superhero anymore? You even have a code-name Scruff McGruff?"" Fastlane asked jokingly taking into account the quiet guy's 5 o' clock shadow.<br/><br/>The tiger kinda made Mal nervous, but in the back of his mind he knew if he was faster than anything on foot it was a big cat. Something else was on his mind however. The ice manipulator from earlier. She was some sort of hired muscle to keep the heroes out along with the police at the barricade line. There were at least two close calls in the brief meeting where she could have dealt a killing blow to the speedster's throat, and he knew it. He couldn't shake the chill, even in a suit that absorbed solar energy on a daily basis. He drifted off into his own thoughts for a few moments, pondering how a continued fight with the woman may have went. Like the intern from that Scrubs show he played out comedic scenes that could never happen in the<i>real</i>world. He snapped back into it after the tiger began moving around a bit. Was it a shape-shifter or something? And why wasn't the hooded guy saying anything?<br/><br/>~KL~"

That was when the costumed guy showed up and made the light bridge for every one. Well that answered that question from before, though in all honesty it was a question he didn't really care was answered or not but none the less it was answered. He did like the bridge though it was better then blowing a hole in the fence or everybody climbing up one by one. So he ran up and over coming to a stop at the end. His breath was a bit heavy but being some one in very good physical fitness it wasn't to bad, though he did take the oxygen that was offered to him. Inhaling deeply he could feel it clearing out his lungs as he turned back looking over to the fence then to the group of people. So far nobody got a good look at his face as he pulled his hood up and was getting ready to leave.<br/><br/>And of course the ""hero"" had to come talk to him. Turning his head he looked at the man, he looked to the tiger as it was mentioned then looked back over to Fastlane. He was less then amused by the ""scruff gruff"" reference as it was plainly written on his face, well his constant angry scowl was a bit more of an angry annoyed scowl now. Finally as if to reply he simply lifted his shoulders, turned and started walking again looking down at his watch. At this rate his errands were done for, but he might at least still get to work one time. Also he wanted to be gone before any news crews showed up seeing as he wanted even less to do with them then he did any of this."

Compared to him, Dirk was like a tub of vanilla pudding. Clearing his throat, he said, ""Anyway, I'm Conduit, an' this is... Cheese Wiz."" A sudden worry came upon Dirk that the man before them was acting as a guard for the quarantine. It would make sense that some heroes would be hired to help guard the blockades and this guy looked tough enough to be one of those kinds of heroes.

She took the first guard by surprise, smashing her hand through his hold on his gun and grabbing his face. The woman was already at the concrete blockade before they noticed something was up. Borrowing 'a bit' of the grasped guard's energy, she punched her free hand into the concrete wall and vigourously released a blast of black lightning, detonating the walls into the scaffolding and barraging the two guards. Dusty debris spread out behind her as she tossed the now-unconcious guard at one of the ones she had left behind. In the same motion and faster than they could aim for her dusty shadow, she picked up large chunks of debris and hurled them at the remaining two of the guards. Killing them wouldn't do, so she released black lightning to explode them into smaller bits of rubble half-way.<br/><br/>Miss Rose double-checked the guards that had been on the scaffolding, and threw two well-aimed chunks of concrete to put them to sleep. By now, she was more than familiar with what was needed to drive a man to lose conciousness. She started walking back torwards Conduit and Phantom, saluting them in the process. She made a quick stop by the guard who was bowled over by his own ally, kicking the gun out of his hand and letting loose another one against his temple to shut up him. Alice walked up to the two, feeling she had successfully hid her more private powers. All they should know for now was that she could crush concrete with her bare hands and was fast enough to put it to use. Rather than saying something about the event, she simply opened the pizza box in Conduit's hands and took another slice of pizza.<i>""Done and done, know more guards that need to be cheesed?""</i>"

Thankfully while Andrew himself didn’t need to eat (probably something to do with his powers… at this point Andrew stopped asking questions about himself in that regard. The answers were too unnerving) but the food he had didn’t last amongst the survivors for very long.

Metallica to be exact. Sounded like search and destroy, oddly fitting he thought as walked up watching that speedster running back over the barricade as he stood next to the nude girl. He was tall and towered over her as he looked. His face that same angry scowl he always had as he didn't even seem to notice or care about her lack of clothes.

Three quick chirping sounds, waiting a moment he sent it out again. It was a decent return and soon he changed it again, this time the frequency rose in a quick incline in one longer pulse. That seemed to work better. He honestly didn't know how any of this sonar business worked. But then like your ears you don't know how they work for them to, they just do. It was all instinct to him, how far something away was based on the time it transmitted to the time he got a return, rough size, and it even bounced around walls some. He mostly assumed it was the instincts of a bat, a bat dosen't know how complex what it is doing is, it just does it. So he just didn't think about it, and it worked just as if a centipede tried to think about walking with a 100 legs it would probably fail, it simply did it.<br/><br/>With a better picture he started walking towards that sound, the person was playing the music on a guitar, there was no radio as it lacked the sound loss and distortion you get from radio. Something he noticed working at a club. When ever there was a live band he realized that he hears every subtle note and undertone and frequency most people didn't pick up. Over a radio however it was all cut down and no mater how good the speaker was to him it just sounded bland. So he figured since this person wasn't in danger, seeing as he was Playing his guitar, he was more cautious then last time, instead of just rushing in he walked around the zombies, and though his body was emitting that pink every few seconds it was thousands of hertz high, to high for the human ear to detect as he simply was walking around the zombies, and turning away from some that he couldn't even see yet."

For the most part he was just directing the man with the direction of the light bridge using his hands, as soon they got closer and he motioned to the house. He looked at Fastlane talking about blowing a hole in the side as he nodded, He pointed to the wall with his right hand then held it flat up vertically, his left pointed to the track and he laid it horizontal before pushing it to the hand that was supposed to be the wall. Hopefully he made that clear enough, and it seemed to have as they were standing right next to it. His hand pushed against the wall as he closed his eyes, touching the object he searched for it's resonate frequency, the wall started to shake a bit as he got closer until soon it was rattling hard, the whole building started to shake, tiles falling from the roof the ground below as he was focusing the sound in a small area, soon that wood started cracking out from his hands, chunks of it falling as it was shaking apart at the molecular level now. Once that area was rather brittle now he simply punched it, his fist tearing right through it as he ripped boards away. Soon the hole large enough for people to get out maybe four of five at a time.<br/><br/>That done it was onto job two, He looked down from his height hopped off the side dropping down onto an over hang half way to the ground. Walking to the edge of that he held out his right arm making a fist s he jumped up and fell down, landing on the ground with one knee down he punched the ground, it cracked under him as as powerful shockwave flew out much like it did before, those creatures closest to him being ripped apart by the force and flying back in gore as the further of them survived but were getting scattered about smashing into walls and going splat while others simply bounced off the ground before getting up, missing parts but still moving. When fighting you couldn't really hear anything from his attacks, mostly due to the human ears inability to detect the frequency's so high or so low. Though you get get the initial sound pulse before he adjusted it, so when he landed it sounded like rather large explosion before going silent. Not in the way he muted every thing before.<br/><br/>He really didn't want those things getting close to him as he held out his hands and started sending out sound waves as the concussive force was knocking them back. But this would only hold them at bay as they were getting closer around him. His foot slammed down in another powerful shock wave blasted out as he looked around and picked up a metal bat. He twirled the weapon in his hand as he grabbed it and swung hard bashing a shamble in the side of the head, the metal bat rang out louder then it should have as the shamble's head burst into chunks and he turned hitting another in the stomach, this ones torso blew off before she shifted. A shamble tackled him, or it stripped and was shambling he wasn't sure, but the latter is probably the most likely. He brought his knee up into its stomach as it lifted up into the air and that bat came swinging down throwing it to the ground in a splattering mess. He turned and kicked another, through his sound waves were powerful, he had less control then people might thing. Most of the time he has to be very careful not to kill anyone, but right now that didn't matter, he didn't hold back.<br/><br/>He was grinning as he fought, sweat dripping down his brow as he kicked a shamble sending it flying off into a fence. This was the most fun he has had in awhile."

No it wasn’t quite from his rocking guitar skills, more like the building suddenly breaking open like Styrofoam. “Shit…” Andrew glanced around, did those melt monster things break in? Andrew quickly dropped the guitar, a resulting “CLUNK” coming out of the amps before they got turned off. Andrew quickly looked around the room. Finding his superhero outfit, and after having to undress to his special elastic underwear, practially leaped directly into his gear with only a little adjusting needed before Andrew Smith was transformed into elastic hero Elastik.<br/><br/>Elastik knew he probably stunk to high heaven by now, he hadn't been able to shower or shave since everything happened and had a face full of silver stubble to prove it. Still Elastik didn't have time to think about it, hurrying back up the stairs he looked around frantically. “WHAT THE HELL IS… oh.” He was actually relieved to see the fellow heroes all at the new big hole in his house. Though still… “Hey can you guys maybe not blow massive holes into my house?!” Elastik asked to the group, his upper half stretched out to Fastlane. He retracted quickly though, helping get the numerous people guided out safely. “Hey by the way Fastlane, things been good? I haven’t heard crap since all this started. Did the Mustangs win any games lately?” Elastik asked finally coming out of the hole himself. Referring to the city’s pro basketball team."

She didn't like to take orders but she had to admit, a rhino form might get a bit dangerous. So she sighed at following someone elses plan and got ready for Mr.broody to open up the wall in front of them.<br/><br/>Watching him make the whole house shake made her stare in shock though. She knew this guy was powerful but this was a whole other level. Lucina watch the hooded man punching through the wall and couldn't help but think that she never wanted to be on his bad side.<br/><br/>Quickly turning around she got herself ready for the melted creatures coming forward to meet the menu of people that were now available. Lunging at the nearest creature she ripped off it's arm and then attacked the next closest one. She was definitely going to have to rinse out her mouth after this."

His right arm reached across, holding the bleeding flesh that is his left shoulder, as his arm was missing, blood flowing down as it looked like it was ripped from his body. It was easy to tell the man was a super hero, the red mask with a matching red tank top and black jeans. His name was Hot streak, he had been at the hero business for a few years now, even had a decent name for himself. But now he was simply another man running for his life. Looking back at him.<br/><br/>A tall man with long blond hair fallowed the man running for his life. He was skinny, easy to see as he wasn't wearing a shirt and just swim trunks. He looked like a surfer from California. He raised up his right arm, holding the mans left in his hand ""Hey dude, You like totally forgot this!"" he shouted laughing some as he looked to the dismembered arm as he walked. ""and to think you two used to be so attached, the nerve of some people just leaving you behind like that"" he said looking at the arm, as he held it by the wrist and sqeezed the bones to make the hand open and close and spoke in a high pitched voice.<br/>""I know He is always so mean, not a nice like you Mr.Apex""<br/>""Oh Thank you Mr. Armington!""<br/>'of course Mr.Apex, your the bestest in the world.'<br/>""your so kind!""<br/>""Well then how bout"" he paused for a moment before smiling and his voice going deep and sinister ""we Liberate your breathern!""<br/>""yay!!!"" he shouted out in the high pitched voice again as they took off running<br/><br/>Hot streak panicked running around the corner. He had to do something bout his arm or he would bleed out. Shaking he moved his right arm ""fuck...fuck...fuck."" he said looking down at the torn flesh where his arm ""oh god...I just wanted to help people"" he murmured. As soon a blast of fire shot out of his hand and he screamed burning his arm to cauterize the wound. He looked back around the corner as that psychopath seemed to be gone. He turned around as Apex was staring over his shoulder ""shh he might find you"" he whispered as Hot streak screamed falling over as Apex was waving to him with his own arm. ""You dropped poor Mr. Armington he misses his brothers."" Doing the hand puppet routine again with the high pitched voice ""your a bad man, and we will free my brothers from your tyranny"" Hot streaked looked at him crawling away.<br/><br/>All this commotion was attracting a horde of zombies as they were swarming towards the pair as Apex rose his hand, it shifted and changed into a large blade with a bone base ""Let My people GO!"" he shouted as he looked down at the screaming hot streak. The zombies were on him, pulling him a part and ripping him open as Apex stared at him blinking some ""Ewww...he is being eated"" he said as a zombie bit down on his neck from behind, they started to swarm him ripping off chunks of him as he blinked ""hey, I'm not food...or Am I, do i taste good?"" he asked as he lifted up his left arm and bit into him self ripping off a piece of himself chewing. He spit out that chunk his tongue hanging out ""ewww I ast ike icken"" he said talking with his tongue out before pulling it back in ""I hate the taste of Chicken"" he said with the deep sinister voice again. Suddenly all those zombies were ripped to shreds from the inside as little chunks of red meat squiggled back to him reforming as he looked down, he didn't notice one of the zombies took that arm as it was bleeding and ripped apart. ""NO!"" he shouted falling to his knees ""you bastereds...You killed Mr. Armington...he had such dreams"" he said looked over as the sreaming man had fell silent ""you will all pay"" he said shifting both his arms into blades as he started to slice through them.<br/><br/>""Apex"" A suddenly voice in his head spoke as he stopped looking up ""God?"" he asked ""No..it's me"" it said as Apex hit his head face palming himself. ""oh, duhh how are you Mr. Disembodied voice"" he asked as the voice spoke again. ""there is a hero, she is using her power to gather intelligence. Find her, and kill your"" Apex snapped to attention saluting, with his left hand and his palm up ""yes Mr. ma'am"" he stated as he soon started to run off.<br/><br/>The face behind that voice grinned monitoring Apex. It was destiny that brought that weapon to him, fools once tried to control him, but he was deemed to unstable. So they tried to kill him, but He couldn't see such a waste of the perfect weapon. The value was lost to those simpletons. Nobody could ever control a weapon like that, he wasn't so arrogant to belive that he was any different, you simply pushed him in a direction and watched.<br/><br/>Apex ran through the streets, using his sword arms he was randomly slicing zombies as he moved and singing. ""Spiderman, Spiderman, does what ever a spider can, Spins a web, any size, catches thieves just like flys. Look out, here comes the spider man, Injects them with venom, liquefies there insides, then sucks it out with a straw. Look out, here comes the Spiderman"" He sang as soon he saw a girl running. ""that is her, Elliot Sinclare, Aka Cypher"" that voice interrupted 'hey hey, you ruined my song"" he said shaking his head as he ran after the girl, she was slow as he ran up the wall and lept forward and landed in front of her, his sword arm was held out so she would run into the blade if she just kept going straight. ""Hi Miss. Elliot Sinclare Aka Cypher , i'm here to remove your head from you body, please keep running forward. Thank you!"" He shouted out standing there."

Elliot Sinclare Aka Cypher , I'm here to remove your head from you body, please keep running forward.

She slid off to the side knowing that he would pursue an that he intended to kill he even though it wasn't his idea.<br/>Someone is trying to stop me from going any farther, from finding out why this happened.<br/><b>""Hello Mr Potatohead, could you please tell whoever controls your strings thank you for confirming that I'm on the right track</b>she says with a giggle<br/>His movements though chaotic and possibly even without logic within his own mind were still bound by the movement of his body's own limitations, terrain and her own movements as his target.<br/>She knew this wasn't going to be easy, that he would cause massive amounts of destruction trying to kill her but she had to try because she didn't want to die."

He laughed some as he didn't move as she stepped out of the way of his outstretched blade/arm ""Yay! you want to play"" he said with a high pitched and excited voice before his voice went back to a deep one ""Well then, lets have fun before I un alive you!"" He watched as she ran spinning he took off running. It wasn't hard for him to catch up to her as he ran next to her, giving chase he jumped landing on the side of a building and running along it before his right arm morphed into a giant hammer. His left a blade and his wright a hammer he landed in front of her and pressed the attack, the flurry of blows came fast as there was no rhythm to them, his sword arm slicing through metal mail box as it fell and his right would occasionally hit things causing small craters. The mans speed and strength was immense as he laughed hysterically, he was having fun."

""Well yeah, DJing makes good money these days.""<br/><br/>The man who would later be called Shockwave and the animal shape shifter were cleaning house down below but once the twenty or so survivors got up on the black and yellow clad hero's construct it was time to get the H outta there.

The heroes had done good work for the night, however Fastlane's suit was almost out of juice and couldn't make many more construct tracks in and out of the quarantined zone. Buildings cracking and falling apart could be heard in the distance. A sweeper team perhaps, or maybe another mercenary. Either way somebody should check it out, and Fastlane was still the fastest one around.<br/><br/>""Can I get a hit or two of that oxygen, ma'am?"" Mal asked walking up to an EMT along with other survivors.<br/><br/>After Mal had his oxygen shot Elastik had come up next to him, arm drapped on his shoulder as he gave him a smile that would make anyone who knew him a bit worried. ""Hey man, listen. I really appreciate you saving my bacon back there from drippy and his sloppy friends."" Elastik had no clue what to really call those names, so it was usually just something stupid. ""Here's the thing though... since my home is now still in that really bad area, and because of Shockwave probably going to collapse very soon. I don't suppose I can come crash with you? You know... until all this clears up."" Truthfully, the man was very thankful he had his home insured for just such a moment. Still he didn't want to house hunt until things had calmed down, plus Fastlane seemed like he'd have a fine place to crash in. Better than a lot of Elastik's other friends at least.<br/><br/>""Did anyone else hear demolition work back in the 'zone?"" he asked later walking back in the general direction of the other heroes.<br/><br/>""I'm almost tapped for constructs for the night, but somebody should go in and see what's going on.

Possiably trying to enrage him? that was funny.<br/><br/>Apex laughed smiling ""thank you for providing the music, this would be so boring other wise haha!"" he said as he attacked, as her own change of movment went wholly un-noticed to him, simply because he wasn't trying to predict her movements. Just attacking as he grined and showed no signs of tiring, the simple fact was if this kept up her body would soon reach it's limits, while his own had yet to show any.<br/><br/>Elli smiled as she watched another crater form in a nearby wall where head had just been.

Survival was a strong motivational force and her's had always been stronger than most.<br/><br/>Apex laughed more as he attacked, smiling ""Ahh it's been so long since I've had so much fun"" he shouted pressing his attack more. Blades and hammer swinging widly as his pace was only increasing, as the joy could be seen in his crazed eyes.<br/><br/>The destruction Apex was causing was beginning to show on the crumbling structures all around them.

It was a rumble like an approaching train or perhaps a landslide. It's source finally revealed it's self when one of the buildings that Cypher was just passing began falling as if it had suffered implosion by an experienced demolitions firm. It's fall was the straw that broke the camel's back as all the other buildings around them began falling and raising up a dust cloud.<br/>Cypher's course lead her near an exposed storm drain which Apex's hammer hand had opened like a gaping pit.<br/>She timed her pass near it to coincide with the collapse of three nearby structures that raised a cloud of dust so thick that had she not spent time counting her steps she might have missed. Under cover of the dust Cypher dropped into the hole falling 15 feet to the bottom and ducked into the drainage tunnel just ahead of several huge chunks of concrete that blocked they way behind her. She wasn't happy that her present course lead her parallel to her goal but as she needed to rest after her fight for survival an was thankful for the respite.<br/>She didn't for a moment believe that the mad man wouldn't try to come after her. She knew that presently whoever had been directing the Lunatic would be using their resources to figure out where she'd headed.<br/>It was a good thing that storm drains followed the laws of hydrodynamics and flowed down hill towards the canal.<br/>Emerging from her concrete tunnels Cypher sought cover from which she could use her retrocognitive abilities to see her next target location<br/><br/>As all the buildings started to collapse Apex kept swinging before he noticed that the girl was gone.

The Ice swordsman found herself standing in the center of the street. Her mist had began to add a layer of ice to the ground beneath her feet whilst she was more than metaphorically frozen in thought. Her irritation became visible as she raised her singular eyebrow, and slid her sword partly out of its sheath a few times.

Quickly washing her mouth out she spat the water on to the ground. She never wanted to taste that foul bubbly skin again.<br/><br/>Hearing a voice ask if they heard demolition work, all Lucina could think was who cares.

Fighting, destruction on a large scale. Looking over in the direction he could feel it though, as he looked down at his hands. If anyone looked at him close enough they could see it, his entire body was vibrating softly. This wasn't a tremble of fear, or shaking with excitement, there was no emotion tied to this. He had never used his powers so much in a day, and it was taking a toll on him, his entire body was vibrating softly as his very cells were becoming more active and shaking. Putting down his hands he could feel it all over his body, that tiny feeling of being pulled and ripped apart at the cellular level, though for now it was light and would fade as long as he didn't over extended himself. He pulled up his hood to cover his face as he looked around, columns of smoke started to fill the air as buildings were collapsing, though there were no explosions, he could of heard it. Of course in his current state he might of missed them.<br/><br/>He watched as the shapshifter was leaving, fast lane spoke of the sounds he had been hearing for awhile now. He looked over the crowd of civilians, seeing children holding on to there parents. He had prevented more people growing up like him, alone and afraid. He turned back, walking back into the zone. He didn't want to be here, had no desire to be a hero, but the simple fact was now that he was here, now that he saw everything with his own eyes. He couldn't turn back, not to be a hero nor for people to thank him. No, guilt was all he felt, guilt for killing his family, guilt for those that were already lost. He sighed jumping back down and took off running, he had long turned of that active sonar of his, even now he was trying to use his powers as little as possible, avoiding the dead running off towards all that chaos and destruction."

The important, costly stuff at least. But before he could really start into his own personal point/counterpoint. He saw Lucina saying her goodbyes and leaving as a stray dog. Although Elastik's first reaction was more along the lines of ""WHOA HOT BABE NAKED OMG YESH!"" He quickly got up from where he sat, chasing down Lucina before she could get too far. ""Hey hey whoa hold on."" Elastik got next to him. Quickly turning his fingers on his hand into a pair of scissors, and trimmed off the entire right sleeve of his costume. Holding it out for the shapeshifting hero. ""Here, its made from adaptable nanomachines. Put it on and it should help keep you from being naked when your human."" Elastik desperately held back on the 'even though I wouldn't complain otherwise' comment he was about to make. ""Go ahead, take it, my suit should go back to normal looking in about an hour."""

She was instead surprised to see him cut off his right sleeve and hold it out to her. Transforming back to her human form she gingerly took the fabric from the man in front of her. Holding it in her hands she felt the texture before wrapping it around her hips making one of the shortest mini skirts of all time. Then she looked up at him, ""So how long will it take to turn into an outfit?"" and then she raised an eyebrow and added, ""Or am I just supposed to go around looking like this? It would actually be smarter if you just wore this and I took your outfit."" She said with a teasing smile."

It'll remold itself into an outfit based on your shape and powers."" Elastik backed up a little and modeled his own suit. ""I mean I'm fairly sure it won't be like this, but still it should work out well enough."" Elastik blushed a little at his own dorky modeling skills, looking back up at Lucina. ""Well I mean... thanks... by the way... for saving me I mean."" Elastik stated feeling really stupid talking like this. ""Maybe you and me could go patrol some time? Like together I don't just mean like at the same time or something like in different areas."" Elastik quietly spent a moment berating himself for looking like such a complete idiot. Was he really this stupid?"

She then shrugged at him saying thank you, ""You sounded like you needed help and I would be a total ass to leave people who need help to those melted things."" She didn't really see it as something that she needed to be thanked for, it was more like she was just the right person in the right place. Watching him trip over his own words, Lucina couldn't help but smile slightly,being partly naked seemed to make this happen to some people. ""I don't do patrols,"" She replied simply, ""I'm not exactly what you guys are. I'm not super or a hero. The only reason I helped was because I didn't want to see innocents ripped to shreds."""

Elastik noted, gesturing to the large group of people he helped survive the ordeal with, some of whom his not gotten to know a great deal. He glanced back at Lucina with a bit of a frown. ""Well... I mean you did save people, which is what heroes typically do. Plus you have powers which by nature could be constructed as being 'super'. I mean if you want to dice it another way sure... but at the very least you're doing the right thing."" Elastik told her as he gave her a smile and a nod. ""I mean if you aren't a patrol kind of person. We could just make it more along the lines of destroying the evil dastery pizza monster from Giuseppe's, then keep a close eye out on that mean ol' movie thats playing at the cineplex. I treat on both."" Elastik said, teasing a bit."

I didn't come here to save people, just to see what all the fuss was about."" Lucina really didn't feel like should could ever be considered a hero especially considering the stuff she had to do before. The idea of this guy asking her to eat pizza and watch a movie with him made her raise her eyebrow, ""I'll be fine. I can take care of myself."" That was the exact point her stomach wanted to point out to her, and the world, that she hadn't eaten in a day and shape shifting made her really hungry. Quickly trying to hide her stomach's grumble she added, ""And where the hell would you hide money in that ridiculous outfit anyway."""

Elastik quickly pointed out, pulling a small pocket out where his wallet was. ""I mean I didn't really say all that for like... I meant..."" Elastik couldn't figure out, was she not picking up the hint? Was this a subtle 'gtfo' he wasn't picking up on. ""You know, I mean its not like I'm saying I'm going to help you with pizza and movies its more... you know... hanging out... doing stuff..."" Elastik was running out of ways to describe exactly what he was talking about. ""Stuff of a like leisure stuff like nature... stuff...""<br/><br/>He was starting to get the sneaking suspicion he was in fact a complete and utter idiot. That and he might as well bail on this moment while he still had his dignity (or whatever was left of it) in tact. ""Eh you know what never mind. Just... thanks again. I need to go get some stuff out of my place while I still have a chance."" With that Elastik started to walk away, getting a plan in his head together on how to get to and bring back his personal possessions safely."

If he wasn't pitying her then what was he trying to do? It was obvious he didn't need to pay her back and now he just stood there talking to himself like an idiot. Seeing what Lucina only could guess was a look of disappointment across the man's face as he said that he was going to get his stuff she sighed, ""You really shouldn't go in there with all those melted creatures and if you really want pizza, I'll come with you."" He must really want that pizza, Lucina thought to herself wondering why but honestly she didn't care too much. A hot meal sounded really good about now and if she was in luck this nano whatever would have finished making her outfit by then."

Slowly he turned back to Lucina, his head almost completely turning around on him first to look at her before the rest of his body followed suit. ""Uh... no I'm not like... going to get pizza from my house."" Elastik stated pointing in the general direction he was going to go. ""No that was my house you guys got me out of... and I have a bunch of stuff in it. That's like mine. I was going to get it since its not cheap stuff."" Elastik couldn't help but wonder what, if anything, was going on in Lucina's head when he said all this.<br/><br/>""No see the pizza and movie was an offer for another time. Like in a few days or something. I wouldn't even be in costume..."" Elastik noted as he was hoping MAYBE she'd pick up on the clues. ""No see I was asking to go out on like... a date?"" There, he put it out there for her to understand in plain English. ""Right now though, I need to go get my personal belongings out of my house since I can't really live there anymore."""

It made Lucina wonder how the hell that would even feel but that thought was changed when he started to say he wasn't going to get pizza from his house. Did he think she was stupid? Of course she knew that. There wouldn't be any warm pizza in a dump like that anyway. She knew he meant a pizza at a restaurant or something. Pizza that wasn't stolen or thrown in the trash.... her thoughts were now stuck so firmly on the idea of warm pizza that she could choose that her mind didn't get unstuck till Elastik awkwardly said 'a date?'.<br/><br/>Shaking her head and the pizza thoughts out of her mind she looked at him in shock. A date?! Why would someone be asking her out on a date? Aren't those the silly things where you hold hands and drink the same milkshake with two straws and are supposed to get dressed up in girly dresses and.....<br/><br/>""You don't need personal belongings."" She ended up saying. It was the only thing she could honestly think to say."

He just wanted to leave, get as far away from this, and her, as humanly possible. “Well for me yeah they are kind of important, they’re for my job.” Elastik told her as he turned, not even wanting to stick around and see what kind of craziness comes out of her. “Thanks again…” Elastik called back to her, stretching his legs over the quarantine wall and stretching around off of rooftops.<br/><br/>As he was able to keep to the rooftops eventually Elastik got back to his place. Slipping in he grabbed his guitar, a decent sized amp, his turntables in their holding bag, and a laptop. As well as much clothes as he could muster. Needing to turn an arm into a massive bag to carry it all. Elastik started to leave out the giant hole before stopping himself. Glancing back at what was his place, seeing pictures from when he was younger, some of the awards he got for his musical talents. Thinking back to various moments, this was his first place out of college. A lot of money was saved through the years, resulting in him eating a lot of ramen noodles to keep his savings up. Elastik could only look on, feeling himself get sick at the thought of everything happening. He wanted to stop himself, get more of these things. He traveled up to his room, finding a not-too-large suitcase that he tried to get some of his favorite pictures and awards into. Awkwardly carrying it with him as he got out.<br/><br/>Having to get himself through the city with all the slime monsters was annoying but doable. He kept his legs long and as fat as possible. The ground he covered was quick, and whatever monster did get close to him usually got a massive foot to it’s grill for the trouble. The fact Elastik not only had to do this, but that he did it because of Tox, someone who he had a lot of trouble with in the past. It all boiled up inside of him, Elastik wasn’t an emotional guy, but this was all making him<i>furious</i>. As he got back into the fine city, hurrying along so as little people as possible would see Elastik looking like a thief. He was able to finally get to the apartment building he knew Fastlane lived at. He had to do some work, breaking and entering which he was familiar enough with. Stretch himself under the door, unlock, open said door, let himself on in.<br/><br/>Elastik sighed, not sure where he was going to stay in the modest apartment. Just putting his things away for now into a corner so he could collapse onto the couch in the apartment. Sighing so deeply from the day he ended up deflating himself flat. He glanced over at the sleeve he cut up for that Lucina chick. It had reformed in the meantime, which was good. Peeling the top of his suit off Elastik slipped back into Andrew, wanting nothing more than to shower and forget."

</div><br/>BRIEF Bio - Damien was born to a poor family located in the slums of the city, where the criminals and homeless were often forced to live. His parents were both severely addicted to heroin, and worked every day from dawn to dusk trying to scrounge together the money to feed both him, and their desire for their drugs. His ability to take away pain became prominent when he reached the age of thirteen, and he slowly started to develop knowledge of the human body. With this new revelation, Damien was determined to free his parents of their fatal addictions.<br/><br/>He tried first on his mother, as his father had a disposition to violence. He approached her slowly from behind, she was sitting on an old wooden chair, strung out from her last use, and lightly touched her on the shoulder. She froze up for a moment, then relaxed in the chair, and slowly turned her head to look behind her. She stared, awe-struck, looking at her son.<br/>""How are you doing that?"" She whispered, her voice raspy.<br/>""I don't know."" Damien replied hesitantly, ""How does it feel?""<br/>""Wonderful."" She gave him a small smile, turned back around, and after a few long minutes, fell asleep.<br/><br/>As Damien reached the age of sixteen, his ability and knowledge had increased to it's maturity, and he was among the top doctors in the city. He performed surgery on many important people living within the city, including the mayor himself, and was well respected in the medical community, despite being so young. Unfortunately, his success was not appreciated by some, who had worked eight years of their life to try and become as successful as he was. Angry that a teenager had beat them out, they hired a hitman to kill Damien's parents, to try and send him a message. It worked. Damien fled, and went to live in the slums of the city once again, helping the poor without expectation of pay. Feeling like he had found his purpose, he stashed away his wealth for use at a date when he may need it."

Though it shimmers like spilled ink as a tell, Keepa's mass is able to stretch to fill tight corners or fit through tight places (such as under doors or through vent grating or even another person's shadow). Due to the malleability of Keepa's mass, they are capable of forming blades from their mass nearly at a whim, on top of other various weaponized movements or binding those who may be clumsy enough to allow themselves to be snared, simply by stepping on them. There are numerous applications and advantages that having such a form could potentially hold, although these listed are the most common. (Crazy stuff will be run by the GM or AU before posting)<br/><br/>Weaknesses - Considering the dark environment Keepa had adapted to, either from the time spent in the crystal or from wherever they originated, Keepa's mass is highly sensitive to direct light. Sustained exposure calluses the outer layer of their mass, giving it a porcelain smoothness. Unfortunately, it also holds roughly the same durability if not a bit tougher (handle with care). Thankfully, due to the nearly weightlessness of the interior mass, Keepa weighs little more than 20lbs, with most of their weight coming from what clothes they wear and the callused outer layer, making the possibility of damaging themselves simply through walking a non-issue. While locked in this body form, Keepa is susceptible to blunt force which may shatter the shell, exposing more of their mass to the light and being forced to endure the disintegration agony that comes from it and the callusing process. Keepa's mass is gradually restored through the consumption of most carbon-based materials.<br/>Due to the callusing process, Keepa's eyes are burned smooth through the same means. While in body form, Keepa is mostly blind except for an acute style of echolocation.<br/><br/>Personality - Naive, curious, volatile<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

        Keepa stands at roughly 5'7, weighing in at roughly 20lbs. They prefer to take a physical form, most of the time, in a manner that more resembles a highly detailed life-sized marionette of androgynous gender with an effeminate male lean; gender being mostly lost to Keepa in their attempt to mimic humans.<br/><img src=""http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l445/Hawlin_Wing/7fe988143dba09341ed64fe6fcc95268.jpg""/>

</div><br/>BRIEF Bio - Having fallen from the sky, encased in a meteor which had been held together through magnetic means, a large crystal (The size of a moderately sized gazebo) with a dark blue hue crashed through an off-shore wind turbine. The event tore most of the crystal in half, a good portion sinking into the ocean while the rest slid through the surf until running aground. The police were quick to respond, along with light military backup, only to find a crumbling shell of the half of the crystal which was composed of highly impure diamond. The darkness having left the wreck which could have held a modern sedan, the area was quarantined. Calling it quits after a day of combing the beach and utilizing submersible vehicles to search for traces of the contents of the gem, the focus of the police force was redirected to the odd reports of an oddly dressed woman(?) performing vigilantist acts...to which no trace of the original criminal could be found. Murder investigations are underway, but with no fingerprints or any DNA besides that of the shaken would-be victims and their consistent reports of the same person, most of the cases were abandoned. Who<i>really</i>cared about a few missing hooligans?<br/>Notes - Keepa's voice is formed through a construction of flute-like chirps that are used to form words. This is a new concept to them, as the words are often poorly formed, bleeding into a sort of language which seemingly consists of multi-tuned hums and chirps in a drawn-out song-like fashion. Thankfully, interpretation and mimicry are two of Keepa's interests. This isn't to say Keepa cannot speak...only that it will take some work for anything close to English to be produced.<br/>- Keepa is a suspiciously fast learner, bringing into question the original purpose of its arrival.<br/>- The nature or level of sentience Keepa possesses is currently unknown, communication being hit or miss at times (usually miss)."

        Elli is able to perceive all cause and effect relations. She can notably deduce the path leading to any effect, allowing her to plan, analyze, and take action with absolute efficiency.<br/>In a fighting situation, she can perfectly adapt to all factors before they even appear, achieving maximum efficiency in offense, defense, and strategy, ensuring optimal success as long as there is the slightest chance.<br/>As a strategist, the she can always achieve optimal results (depending on the means at her disposal), perfectly anticipating all variables and her opponents' every move. These calculations can lead to extremely complicated planning in the long run, which always end up being successful.<br/>She can instantly understand anything by perceiving all the causes/effects it is currently made of, as well as all the previous ones that lead to this state. For example, a simple glance at someone would be enough to learn their nature, personality, history, expectations, strengths, weaknesses, etc. The perception can also be turned to the person's future, its many paths, their probabilities, and the one which will eventually be realized.

        Elli obtains historical memories or sensations concerning beings and objects by touching them. With objects she gains the knowledge including the makers, users, and even those who have on passing used the object, and what has been done with it. With living beings or parts of the body she learns their general life-history, but doesn't gain anything of what they were thinking or feeling.

</div><br/><br/>Weaknesses - All of Elli's abilities are mental based and she has no more protection from combat than a normal human<br/><br/>Personality - Friendly, Generous an Odd<br/><br/>Appearance -<br/><img src=""http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk2/intoxicating-cherry/Girls/Real%20Girls/brunette-1.jpg""/><br/><br/>BRIEF Bio - Born on the Isle of Wright Elli was your basic Chalk Girl till she went on holiday with her parents to London at the age of 12 years old. They toured all the accepted historical sights and were on the Tower of London tour when the group guide told the story of a Duke who had been held there before his execution and how he'd somehow escaped the Tower which to that day was a mystery.<br/>Elli who'd been acting dazed since her group began the tour walked past the barrier ropes and opened a secret door which no one had ever discovered before then. When asked by her parents why she'd done it she replied ""The ghosts showed her how the man escaped""<br/>Her parents laughed it off as one of those strange incidents of youth and continued on with their holiday.<br/>When Elli was 14 she had attended a movie in Cowes where her family now lived an was walking home when she heard an old woman in distress. Hurrying to see if she could help she came upon a distinguished couple one of which was the old woman and the other her unconscious husband. A constable was trying to help but couldn't understand the woman's language.<br/>Elli finds the officers statement strange because to her the woman is perfectly understandable. She tells the constable that her woman's husband suffers from a rare heart condition and that he forgot his emergency medication at their hotel.<br/>The constable retains Elli as a translator as they rush the old man to hospital where they find out her is the father of the Visiting Spanish ambassador. The woman is his mother and she when excited speaks in a mixture of Spanish an Silbo Gomero which comes from La Gomera isle on the coast of Spain. The Ambassador is stunned that Elli can even understand the language much less communicate in it. So grateful is he that he insists that Elli and her parents join him on his official yacht were he awards her for her aid a medal for good citizenship an heroism.<br/>At 15 Elli graduates from school with a perfect score in all her tests and is awarded a scholarship to Cambridge where she continues to shine.<br/>She aces all her entry tests and quickly rises to the top of her class which ever one she might be taking. This leads to exposure to the spot light which she finds she doesn't enjoy at all because of the types of people that wanted to use her talents which she learns to tone down.<br/>She begins to use the pseudonym Cypher when she writes papers to various journals to hide her identity<br/>Cypher becomes quickly responsible for translating many obscure archaeological languages that have bedeviled the discipline for over two centuries or more. She feels happy as her splash becomes a mere ripple on the waters and she's forgotten by all but her peers by the time she turns 18.<br/>She is offered a Generous position to Harvard as a graduate student and accepts thinking it will help to distance herself from her reputation. She quickly makes friends among the others in her class and believes her life has turned around.<br/>The trouble begins that year as well when while visiting Boston a friend of her's is kidnapped by a serial killer and murdered, when asked by her deceased friend's mother if she'd help clear out her effect Elli volunteers and heads to Boston and enters the hotel room.<br/>Try as she might Elli can't help but peek into the room's past using a power she represses most of the time and what she sees shocks her as she watches the whole thing happen before her eyes and sees the Killer.<br/>Knowing that simply saying she saw the Killer using Psychometry won't bring him to justice Elli sets her intellect to work on a solution. She soon formulates a plan of attack that will cause the killer to confess or get sloppy.<br/>She writes using her left hand and making sure not to leave any clues to her identity an sends him a letter detailing her friends an two other girl's murders saying she has evidence on him along with film. She then calls his cell phone using a burner bought for the purpose of catching him and using faked accent tells him that she wrote the letter and now he will do as she commands. She tells him she wants a certain girl murdered an once it's done she'll turn over the evidence, that girl is she.<br/>She then writes herself a letter taking careful pains to forge the killer's hand writing which she's gathered samples of.<br/>She calls the Boston police one night telling them she's received threats from a man claiming to be her friend's killer and shows them the letter.<br/>The police and the Feds are happy when Elli volunteers to risk her life to catch the man and they set up a sting. Her friend's killer is captured three days later and evidence is found in his van linking him to two more murders.<br/>Feeling good after helping bring the bad guy to justice Elli begins applying her talents to other crimes and developing the persona of Cypher as a crime fighter.<br/><br/>Notes -"
1042,Champions of Engine City,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17932-champions-of-engine-city,['Casual'],2014-03-10 04:49:00,Cloud3514,"Name – Jason Atlas<br/>Alias – Black Rider<br/>Age – 32<br/>Powers – None. Normal human in power armor.<br/>Equipment – Power armor: Standard police issue in the 22nd century, Atlas's armor enhances his speed and strength, as well as protects him from small arms fire and creates an environmental seal that can even protect him from a total vacuum for a short amount of time. The armor interfaces with Atlas's retinal signature to prevent unauthorized usage. It also interfaces with Atlas's guns and includes a device that can be activated when someone not wearing the armor tries to hold said guns that electrocutes the gun.<br/><br/>The helmet on his armor has two modes of night vision (active illumination and infared vision) and can record video records. It can also protect against bright flashes and excssively loud sounds, digitally magnify vision and interfaces with Atlas's guns to enhance aim.<br/><br/>Pulse rifle: The 22nd century standard police issue pulse rifle is a laser based weapon with adjustable power levels between “stun” (K.O. an athletic human) to capable of punching clean through a large truck. It also has adjustable fire modes including single, burst (three shot and five shot), fully automatic and spread. The barrel and stock collapse into the weapon's body and stores on the back of the armor. It interfaces with the armor to prevent unauthorized usage.<br/><br/>The rifle also carries an underslung grenade launcher. Atlas carries three of the four ammo varients for this launcher, a bola grenade that deploys a bola that wraps around what it hits, a flash grenade that works just like modern flash bangs, though without the bang and a taser round that does not explode and instead acts as the 22nd century standard police issue taser.<br/><br/>Pulse pistol: The 22nd century standard police issue pulse pistol is a scaled down version of the pulse rifle that sacrifices power and fire modes for reliability. Its power only ranges between “stun” and “kill,” the later of which is about the power of a modern military issue assault rifle, while its fire modes are restricted to single and three round burst. It is stored in a holster on the right leg and interfaces with the armor to prevent unauthorized usage.<br/><br/>Combat Knife: Unlike modern combat knifes, the 22nd century standard police issue combat knife vibrates at a high frequency to greaty enhance cutting power. The cutting power of this knife is enough to cut through a two inch thick plate of steel. The vibroblade functionality can be disabled to conserve power.<br/><br/>Modern motorcycle: It is unknown how Atlas got his hands on this bike and it appears to be unregistered, having no license plate to track. It is a black street bike and it is largely non-noteworthy outside of a modification that, if the bike is moved by someone not wearing Atlas's power armor, drives a stake into the ground to hold it in place.<br/><br/>Weaknesses – All of Atlas's equipment run on independent power and, depending on the item, can take anywhere between 24 and 100 hours to fully recharge with access to modern electricity when drained fully:<br/><br/>Armor: When running at full capacity (strength enhanced enough to lift a small car), the power source can last 15 hours of constant use. Under normal capacity (about 1.5x an olympic level athlete), the power source lasts about 48 hours of constant use. When the armor's power is drained, all enhancements are lost and Atlas's movements become sluggish due to the armor's weight. The armor's power source takes 100 hours to fully charge from fully drained levels.<br/><br/>Rifle: Under full power, the rifle can be fired 10 times before requiring reload. On minimum power, it can last approximately 500 shots. Firing on spread mode approximately doubles power useage. Atlas carries three spare batteries for the rifle, but has several more at his base of operations. Each battery takes about 24 hours to charge from fully drained levels.<br/><br/>Pistol: Under minimum power, the pistol can fire about 500 shots, similar to the rifle, but this number drops to around 100 under full power. It uses the same batteries as the rifle.<br/><br/>Knife: The high frequency vibration can be used for 2 hours straight. The internal battery takes about 48 hours to charge.<br/><br/>Personality – Full of himself<br/>Appearance – Under the armor, Jason Atlas is an athletic man, appropriate for his former profession as a SWAT officer. He stands at a respectable 6'2” and tends to dress very simply, preferring black combat boots, jeans, t-shirts with a small variety of colors and a leather jacket. He tends to wear a black military cap to help hide his face. The dirty blonde hair underneath is short, but unkempt and his eyes are a cold blue.<br/><br/>The armor makes the Black Rider a few inches taller and is painted jet black, with the exception of the primary angular armor panels being outlined with red and a golden eight pointed star embedded in the left side of the chestplate. The helmet is similarly black with a dark red visor.<br/><br/>BRIEF Bio – Born in 2112, Jason Atlas started his career in the police force as a promising rookie. He quickly rose in the ranks and was selected to join the SWAT team, where he earned many commendations and made numerous arrests. He was also noted for never needing lethal force. He was seen as the star of the service and was believed to be in line for commisioner. At least, that's how he appeared in public.<br/><br/>On the side, Atlas had started making connections with local crime lords. He promised them specific protections in exchange for information and targets for easy capture. Under this deal, the crime lords were able to increase their profits in safety, while Atlas's reputation not only went undamaged, but thrived.<br/><br/>However, things went bad for Atlas when the son of one of the main crime lord he worked with decided to dissolve his organization and go clean when his father died. Despite promising to keep quiet, he anonymously leaked evidence against Atlas. Knowing that he would be arrested for his crimes, Atlas fled to his friend's lab, where work was being done on a prototype time machine. He took as much equipment as he could and fled to the past, the only place he would be safe from the authorities of his time.<br/><br/>Atlas took this opportunity to start over and go clean. He painted his armor black, acquired a base of operations (a small apartment in a dangerous part of the city) and a motorcycle to use as transportation and started patrolling the city as a vigilante, being called the Black Rider by local newspapers.<br/><br/>Notes – Though he is clean now, Atlas is still a glory hound and will go out of his way to make particularly spectacular arrests."

</div><br/>BRIEF Bio -<br/><i>*Some files are spread about the desk, Zero's photo on the top.You know you shouldn't but you can't exactly ask her about her past.*</i><br/>As supers where becoming more common and the universe was ever expanding. Some men decided to throw out their moral compass and in the name of science find mans limits.Thus the Condemned project was began. The subject was created from the genetic material of a Speedster and one that possessed super strength. Needles to say they had not expected for a Ice wielding infant. As she matured, they began teaching her what they deemed important for mental development leaving out human history and the concepts of creation and identity. Unique to this subject they did all of this through a complex digital display that made up the right side of her holding area. She had no physical contact with any life aside from what had been gone over in the reading material.<br/>At the second cycle the subject was forced into life or death combat scenarios against other subjects. This was to force her natural ability to develope drastically faster using survival as the catalyst. It was only after 15 success that they moved on to the next stage of the project. She was drugged, and they put things all throughout her body to push her past the limitations evolution had put on her. The pain she dealt with would have driven a lesser individual to suicide, not that she had any means to do so. The benefits where seen almost instantly in the next combat test where the subject killed her adversary in 14 seconds.<br/>The next file seems to have skipped and entire sections of the project. However a page in red catches your eye, they introduced her into a environment with non-hostiles, the idea that humans meant her no harm had not occurred to her, as she killed or injured each one of them. The event seemed to be a step in the wrong direction for the project, notes of her growing aggression and rebellion have numerous mentions of the cost to the project.A strange highlight is how subject showed promise with bladed weapons, simply because she seemed to favor using shards of ice to cut through the protective suits of staff.<br/><i>*Another gap in the logs the amount of time in between seems to be drastic, and it seems the next ones simply go over the mental institutions she has been in and out of. Underneath it all is a sealed black file. Of course you reach for it but the file seems ice over.....You look up into the darkness of the room, a pair of glowing white eyes offer a suggestion that you should probably leave.*</i>"

</div><br/>BRIEF Bio - Phoebe was an average Psych major at (INSERT LOCAL PUBLIC COLLEGE NAME HERE) when the latest weird catastrophe happened. A piece of ""space junk""--as the local media deemed the unrecognizable hunk of metal--crashed in a nearby lake. A good bit of water turned to steam and created some hot fog on campus. Of course, everyone ran out of their classes to see what happened. In the chaos, Sraif managed to swim out of the lake and take over the body of a stray dog. Using the dog as a hiding place, Sraif escaped the ""scene of the crime"" and ran into the city. Phoebe and Sraif's paths crossed many times, until Sraif took her chance and leapt from the dog's ear to Phoebe's. She forced Phoebe to sleep and told her everything; that she fell out of orbit while observing humans for her thesis (Sraif was working towards a degree in Exobiology.) and crash-landed on Earth, that her species could not survive on their own, and that the dog was an unsuitable host and she really did not want to force her will onto another being. In the dream-state, Phoebe agreed, and after a few shaky weeks of coexistence, they became best friends, and started to fight crime.<br/>Notes - Phoebe uses no weapons, and her costume is a red turtleneck, black ski mask (with holes for eyes and mouth), and sweatpants. She beats up criminals with her bare hands.<br/><br/>((Here's my CS. I found and edited a few mistakes.))"

His spiritual energy replenishes itself by gradually absorbing energy from the spirits of all living things and nature.<br/><br/>Weaknesses - his powers become weaker if he is within very close proximity to iron, and he has very little defense against powerful rituals that affect ghost. also since his abilities require spiritual energy to use and Tom only has finite reserves of it, if he spends too much energy on his abilities without waiting for them to replenish then eventually he will run out and his powers begin to feed on his life force which will eventually kill him if he continues to use them while his reserves are empty. Staying intangible for any lengthy periods of time can cost him a lot of energy and even tough he is untouchable he not is protected from mental, supernatural and magical attacks.<br/><br/>Personality - kind, outgoing, lighthearted, determined and loyal.<br/>Appearance - he is about 6 foot 2 in height and is very well built for his age. he has neck length red hair. his costume is a red and black spandex jumpsuit with red on the lower half and black on the top half. on the chest of area of his costume is a red P, and he wears red gloves. when he is in in costume his eyes glow a bright red.<br/><br/>BRIEF Bio - Tom was born to an average family and for most of his childhood he was your average kid, playing with friends and going to school. but when he was sixteen one of his friends asked him to come to an abandon home wear some kids were having a party that would be away from the watching eye of their parents and the authorities. Tom had a feeling like something was off but he could understand so he agreed to go and his friend gave him the address and time the party would be happening. when the night of the party came and he went to the abandoned home, he was horrified to find that instead of it being a party with teenagers, it was an occult gathering. the cult leaders grabbed him before he could run, and he learned that his friend had been a junior member of the cult. they brought him before the cult leader and the man informed him that he was chosen vessel that would house the mighty spirit of Ragulhu do to him having unusually powerful reserves of spiritual energy, an ancient and powerful evil entity that was imprisoned in the otherworld. they placed him on a stone table with demonic carvings on it, and began the ritual which would strip away my soul and replace with the ancient demon. luckily for Tom the first stages of the process channeled the entity's power inside of him and when it mixed with his energy reserves he felt incredible power course through him, his powers were awakened and he found that he could use all the powers of a spirit. he used them to brake free from the ritual and escape the cult. he didn't fight because he still had almost no knowledge of how to use his powers. after that night, Tom could see and communicate with the dead. at first it scared him, but he soon became use to it, and he had to since he was still afraid that the cult would come after him and they most definitely knew where he lived. from then on he knew that he would have to master his new powers and use them to fight against the evils of this world and the next and thus was born the hero known as Phantom. today he still fights many battles against evil supernatural forces.<br/>Notes -"

If frozen, Quasi's body can be broken apart and the only way to repair him is to melt him and then allow Quasi to regain form which takes a great deal of time. Jason was afraid of getting hurt but as Quasi only few things can. His greatest fear has become the cold as it is his most dire weakness.<br/><br/>Equipment: He carries only his medicine<br/><br/>Brief Bio: A skilled kick-boxer and son of the power armor super hero Mastermind, Jason was a young man who wanted nothing more than to fight crime like his father. Attempting to do so, he was caught between his father and his nemesis, The Mad Doctor who hit him with a mysterious weapon that turned him into living rubber. Now with his father missing, Jason tries once again at being a vigilante in order to save him and once and for all stop the Mad Doctor.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

         Jason is the son of the superhero, Mastermind, a man whose unmatched intellect led him to crafting a suit of power armor and taking up the life of a vigilante. Jason's mother died 5 years ago when she was murdered by The Mastermind's nemesis, The Mad Doctor. Jason only shared an eye color and a lack of powers with his mother while the rest of him was much more like his father. Even if he did not have the heroic intelligence he still had the heroic initiative to hunt down criminals like the man who murdered his mother. While his father was away Jason learned how to fight by taking classes to become a kick-boxer and once he completed the courses available to him he felt his abilities as a warrior were at their peak. The day came where Jason's urge to fight evil surpassed his fears of being wounded by it again.<br/><br/>Little did Jason know what he was about to face on his first day of being a vigilante. That morning he tried to follow his fathers power suit to a distress call, but the Mastermind's machine was too fast and went out of sight over the local slums. Jason's attempts to find his father in the slums seemed pointless and the longer he stayed the further he became lost. It was chance that put Jason at the fight between The Doctor and The Mastermind and it was his being there that would save his father. Their battle was fast and fierce, each pulling a gadget or gizmo to counter the others and Jason suddenly realized he was in deep over his head. It was then that the Doctor pulled out an unknown gadget and fired it at Mastermind. Jason would not remember what happened next but was told that the gadget was supposed to turn Mastermind's suit into rubber on contact, but Jason stood in the way and he was changed instead. It is unclear how the Mastermind did it but he managed to turn the rubber statue into a rubber boy. A month after his change the Doctor would once again surprised the Mastermind, but this time he did not have anyone to take the bullet. Unclear if his father is dead or alive, Jason took up the vigilante mantel once more in order to find the Mad Doctor and find out what happened to his father.

Adrian is able to produce and manipulate sound waves. He can control every aspect of sound waves as well as generate them with his body as the cells in his body are constantly vibrating at a higher rate then a normal persons and anybody with a high enough frequency range of hearing will be able to pick up the soft hum his body constantly generates.<br/><br/>Omni-awerness: Becasue his body picks up sound waves he is constantly picking up sound waves around him giving him a sort of passive sonar, he is even able to send out ""pings"" to get a clearer picture as well as see around corners.<br/><br/>Weaknesses - cellular instability, because his cells constantly vibrate more then normal he can over extend himself and literally shake apart. He is also more susceptible to resonate frequency, since all cells vibrate to some degree everything has a resonate frequency that will cancel out that vibration if they have enough amplitude. Becasue of this if some manages to hit his resonate frequency his powers could be essentially nullified or he might lose control. This also causes him to become disorientated as it shuts off his omni awareness which over the years he has used as his main sense.<br/><br/>Personality - angry, kind, volatile<br/><br/>Appearance -<img src=""https://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/9c/b0/9c/9cb09c213e01c2515b98574198341574.jpg""/><br/>BRIEF Bio - As a child adrain lived a normal life. A white collar middle class family two loving parents and two younger sisters that he was always very protective of. Life was good for him as he grew older he was always the biggest kid and used that to his advantage. Though not in the ways most people would think. He was a very kind and compassionate boy and would often stand up for other people using his size to intimidate bullies and avoid fights. Becasue of this he had a lot of friends and loved nothing more then playing and always keeping an eye on his sisters. They were you typical family, sure they had problems but whose family didn't.<br/><br/>When he was 13 he started to develop his powers. Finding that he could control any sound that he could hear. He often would toy with them to see what he could do. Because of this he would have miner slip ups, suddenly a room would go silent and nobody could hear anything, or there would even be an explosion of sound where he learned that he wasn't immune to his own powers as his own ears would erupt in pain. He tired to control these things and was making steady progress. A year went by and he was even successful to some degree only having minor slip ups.<br/><br/>One day though while he and his family were taking a trip he got into an argument with his father, during the heated yelling contest he lost control of there Suv, suddenly a massive blast of sound set off, his father who was driving lost control of the care and they were hit by an oncoming in the front portion of the vehicle. ripping the car in half he was managed to avoid the worst of it as he was in the back row, the rest of his family wasn't so lucky as they were all in the front half that was pulverized by that truck. Adrian was the only survivor of the crash.The crash left him banged up and deaf and after months in the hospital he was making a remarkable recovery. Though nobody new he was deaf because of his entire body was able to pick up sound waves. After his stay in the hospital he was put into foster-care, seeing as he had no relatives that could take care of him. He was put into the foster-care and passed around from family to family for years After the crash he blamed himself for it and that self loathing and hatred eventually turned into anger and he would constantly get into fights. where as before he would stand up for someone, intervene and try to resolve a situation peacefully he turned to violence. If he didn't like some one or saw something he didn't agree with would simply grab the person and start beating.<br/><br/>Becasue of this though out most of his high school he was a loner, though he wasn't a bully people were afraid of him as he was known to suddenly start fights. When he was 16 though he was put into a home for troubled youths. living on a farm it was run by an ex-convict who was trying to keep kids from fallowing in his foot steps and teaching them responsibility by having them work the farm. Though he had troubles there it wasn't all that bad. The owner of the place to help him with his anger even taught him kickboxing, so instead of beating on people he could take out his frustrations on a bag and by working out. It actually worked to some degree, he was able to hold himself back and take out his aggression on a punching bag.<br/><br/>Now and adult he moved back into the city, and likes to keep to himself, though he keeps his powers to himself and for the most part keeps to himself tring to avoid trouble. Though he has used his powers on occasion he has gone mostly unnoticed unlike other people with superpowers as he keeps to himself and tries not to get involved."

</div><br/><br/><b>Powers: </b>Superhuman strength, speed, and durability. She can generate destructive black lightning at low levels by herself, but has the drawback of greatly draining energy. The energy does not work like electricity, and is primarily for pure destruction. To supplement the black lightning, she is able to temporarily drain life forms of their energy by touch, or more effectively super-powered beings of their abilities. The process is relatively quick at a few seconds for most supernaturals, making it useful, but not a trump-card against enemies. Both Alice's physical abilities and natural black lightning limits can be augmented in a similar fashion. The person has to agree to it, in words if not in spirit, and after Revya is able to permanently take their energy to increase her base physical and black lightning abilities. In addition, Alice is able to tell where the person is with a galactic range. Unlike the other temporary absorption ability, this doesn't require touch. This process can be nullified by Revya agreeing to give the energy back.<br/><br/>Summary: Physical+ ||| Destructive black energy/lightning ||| Temporary energy absorption/power drain on touch |||| Permanent energy absorption/power drain on verbal agreement<br/><br/><b>Weaknesses:</b>Her abilities are rather straightforward. Alice's absorption powers require touching someone, and that can be rather dangerous on supernatural beings, even given her physical prowess. In addition, the permanent absorption can be reversed, as mentioned.<br/><br/><b>Personality: </b>Alice often doesn’t show her emotions through facial expressions, and on top of that her light red eyes are alien enough to make her seem dead inside. She also tends say what she’s going to say without much bravado. And on top of all of this, she has a carefree attitude. But despite all these, she does have emotions and can often follow them without much thought. Betrayal is a major concern of hers, and so Alice doesn’t often trust people. Her responses to being betrayed are often over the top and violent.<br/><br/><b>Brief Bio: </b>Her father was a galactic space pirate, and a rather well known one at that. It was hard for information to spread across the emptiness of space, but his face had made it more so than most celebrities. Half the time he was on the run, and the other half he was busy pirating, of course. So it was completely understandable that he dumped his woman and child on Earth, without much ceremony or promise of return. The mother was bitter, but the child, Alice, understood as she grew older. At least he hadn’t simply killed them, or used them as bait. That’s what she would have done, her father was certainly a better man than her. Even if he wasn’t human. Alice’s mother was though, and that was what killed her. Humans made mistakes, and it was their own fault. The girl had made enough of a point to the woman that she respected her father, if nothing else. But the woman had fallen in love again, and she had made the mistake to bring him home without telling Alice.<br/><br/>Naturally, both of them were dead now. Alice had taken to the streets, living as she wished. She still lived that way, the blood of a pirate almost casually driving her actions. She took what she needed, ran when she needed, and knocked people down when needed. No killing, of course. None of them really deserved it, and if she kept up her pacifistic ways then maybe they’d stop chasing her."

The only reason she survived was because of her healing factor, where June hardly survived because of her budding telekinesis. While escaping the carnage with June, they were spotted by some shady people. Then and there they were captured by a powerful faction that held June captive to make Lucina work for them.They said they would heal her and keep her healthy but only if Lucina did exactly what they said, so she did. Even if it meant things she had never wanted to do including killing, stripping and sex.<br/>This was until she was the age of 20, where June finally died from the treatment she was receiving. Lucina in a fit of anger destroyed the base and left, never looking back. Lucina was left in a state where she doesn't trust anyone and sees sexual and violent behavior as a norm."

<b>Name:</b> Dirk Farrington<br/><br/><b>Alias:</b> Conduit<br/><br/><b>Age:</b> 19<br/><br/><b>Powers:</b> Dirk has an affinity for electricity. This allows him to perceive electrical stimuli in an area of 100 feet around himself. This acts as a sort of radar, as Dirk can also sense the electrical signals that occur in living beings. As well, Dirk naturally takes in small amount of electricity from electrical sources and stores it within his body. The most he can do with this is unload it on a person/object he comes in physical contact with, though (at this time, at least) Dirk is not able to store enough electricity to cause much harm to a healthy person. At best, he can only stun them.<br/><br/><b>Weaknesses:</b> Only within 75 feet does Dirk get a clear idea of what he is sensing. Stimuli at the edge of his radar can't be distinguished from each other. His senses go all out of whack when in the presence of high amounts of electricity, such as a lightning storm. During moments of extreme stress or emotion, it's possible for Dirk to haphazardly release electricity.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b> Dirk likes to present himself as a confident sort of person. He'll stand up straight, keep his shoulders square, and offer a handshake to most people he meets. However, Dirk tends to be wary of people. He's pretty sensitive and can take even slight comments to heart. He's easy to put on the defensive. He hides his insecurities, often being snide or sarcastic to cover it.<br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b> A chubby boy with short sandy brown hair and eyes that are a bit small and squinty for his lumpy face. He's often found hooded in a sweater and wearing shorts.<br/><br/><b>Outfit:</b> A black face mask that wraps around Dirk's head and covers his nose/mouth. A navy blue turtleneck made of rubber that covers both his arms. A red strip goes from his left shoulder to his right hip. For his legs, Dirk wears dark blue pants.<br/><br/><b>Bio:</b> Dirk's mother was pretty well-known in the area as she was once a news anchor for the local newscast of Engine City. Dirk always found it fascinating to see his mother <i>on television</i> and decided at a young age he wanted to just be like her. His interests changed throughout his early teens and he eventually decided he'd rather be behind the cameras rather than in front of them. For sixteen years of his life, Dirk didn't imagine his future would be anything special.<br/><br/>His powers had started to develop since he was thirteen, but they weren't strong enough to amount to anything and Dirk never quite understood he even had any power. He fried his family's camera once by accident and tended to often have pesky little static shocks.<br/><br/>His father had been a big fan of baseball. Although Dirk decided he didn't like playing the game after only a few months of being on a team, he still watched games with has father. He enjoyed having an interest he could share with his dad, and they often attended games. At sixteen years old, Dirk attended a game with his father much like usual, but something tragic occurred that day. A man in the stands suddenly burst into flames, his screams sending the people around him into a frenzy. Out of his hands spewed fire and it had engulfed many of the people around him. Dirk's father had been one of the unlucky ones. When it was all over, the man was dead, his body burned beyond recognition. All-in-all, there had been five casualties in total. Dirk's father had died in the hospital.<br/><br/>There was much confusion surrounding the incident. It had been rather chaotic and witnesses gave varying recollections. When the incident was ultimately decided to be a freak superhuman accident, Dirk became afraid. He was starting to understand that he had a power and it scared him that he was like the man who killed his father. Dirk started fearing for his own life, worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself eventually either. He fell into a depression along with his mother, who took leave from her job due to her grief.<br/><br/>Desperate for answers, Dirk ended up falling in with an amateur hero group, who started him on accepting himself. They were together for two years before two of their members died.<br/><br/>Dirk doesn't like to think about them.

You could kill off Damien or something, your choice, or I can just make a final post with him deciding not to meddle with the radiation thing and return to his job of healing the poor.<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>If he's our healer then I'll probably use him as an NPC later on to help cure the melted people who can still be saved. We won't kill him off and when you get a more set schedule, assuming the game keeps up the momentum, you can come back. I just started my new job a few weeks back so I understand the mess and aggravation that can cause.<hr/>On a side note, Shockwave is deaf and mute? Did I miss something in the CS [actually just reread the bio and realized I only read about half originally]?<br/><br/>I think after his stay in the hospital, you should give him like a psychological handicap where his being deaf and mute is because of the trauma and affecting his powers in a way that he can't turn his voice and ears back 'on'. He's still young enough to not have mastered his abilities completely. He's more of a physical badass. I really enjoyed that first post.<br/><br/>Still catching up, posting soon...<br/><br/>~KL~"

I think I want to write Plex out as an NPC and maybe use him as an enemy under different circumstances.

Just over a mile in ten seconds. On top of this, he has the ability to absorb solar energy and convert it into creating yellow tinted hard light construct bridges, roads, railroad or trolley tracks, etc. in case of roads or bridges and tracks going out or there being some huge accident during a larger scale battle with a superhuman criminal. He can also use the power to make himself a road or track to run over water with, or into the air. It's like giving a kid the power to make Hot Wheels playset tracks life sized but instead of driving a car being fast enough to run on foot through them...<br/><br/>~KL~"

Still need a deputy GM...<hr/>Name - Mitchell Alan Lane, 'Mal' to his friends<br/>Alias - Fastlane<br/>Age - 22<br/>Powers - super speed of 390 mph, a little over a mile in ten seconds; enhanced healing; the suit provides solar energy absorbsion leading into creating hard light construct roads, bridges, tracks, etc...<br/>Weaknesses - while he heals about ten times faster than a regular human, Mal has problems healing from more serious injuries. If his bones break he needs to set them quickly before they heal wrong, same goes for anything more than a flesh wound that would involve surgery. His powers also greatly depend on how much he eats and drinks [he HAS to stay hydrated] as well as absorbing sunlight as often as possible.<br/>Personality - impulsive, street-smart, honorable<br/>Appearance -<img src=""http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/thekidlantern/1Fastlane_zps0a57e583.png""/><br/>BRIEF Bio - Mal was your average 18 year old until he took a trip to the lake with some friends one night after school his senior year at Thomas Sweeney High School. After a lightning storm poured through Engine City the final bolt of lightning struck the water leaving an odd smoke coming off of it. After dipping his feet in the water for half the night after passing out following some under aged drinking, Mal woke with super speed. After coming into contact with fellow speedster albeit a lot shorter Richard ""Tyke"" Bartlett, Mal met Dr. Theodore Hall who developed the hard light construct tech and solar energy absorbing/processing suit. Coming up with the Fastlane identity, Hall let Mal test the suit over the last six months however he was one of the people in Carter Hills during the incident. Hall's safety and wherabouts are unknown. But Fastlane will do everything in his power to help with the survivors.<br/>Notes - Mal has done occasional vigilante work the last few years as a blur in the human eye, he's been Fastlane for roughly six months in-costume. Notable monuments in Engine City include Battery Park, Engine City Speedway [ECS for short], Jefferson Heights, Warpath River, Engine City Technical Community College, Thomas Sweeney High School, etc...<hr/>~KL~"

</blockquote><br/><br/>He is technically at this moment only deaf(which is why his powers are a little advanced because with out them he can't hear) as for being mute...I honestly haven't decided on weather or not he is actually mute or simply chooses not to talk. I also had the idea that the reason he never talks is because his throat was damaged during the crash, so he can talk but for some reason he has no control over his voice. So like he says hi and anything in front of him gets hit with a blast of powerful sound pressure that could kill them...so he doesn't talk."

Because of his powers Andrew can easily survive bullets of a certain caliber, knife or sharp objects, and even puncturing of a needle. Also, Andrew can use his powers to grow in height and size. The max being 50 feet tall. Though he considers this a last ditch move considering its weaknesses.<br/>Weaknesses - For his powers, temperature can play a big part in how well Elastik can perform. Cold weathers, at about 20 degrees or lower, make it harder for him to stretch, and if his cold enough he can become brittle enough that moving in general hurts him. He has an insulated version of his suit for colder days, but it can all still pose problems in the coldest months of the year. Hot weather have the opposite effect on him too. As he can have trouble keeping his body together and not come off looking like he’s melting. Again, he has a suit for those days, but it once again can make for crappy summer days.<br/><br/>Elastik’s giant move is his biggest sore spot if he isn’t careful. Even though he becomes stronger doing so. He loses a lot of the endurance and protection from weapons he had before. As his body loses a lot of its elasticity being stretched out like such. Also, for all the mass he gains, it makes getting knocked down harder to get back up from.<br/>Personality - Adventurous, Lovable, Loud<br/>Appearance -<img src=""http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/thekidlantern/1techsuitELASTIK_zpscaa989db.png""/><br/><br/>Standing at around 6’1 normally Andrew is a lean muscular framed good looking young man. The most notable thing about him is a side effect of him getting his power, which turned his hair a shiny silver. He figured he would have to be open about his hero identity out there. However not only has it worked out for him, it has become a thing ladies like about him. The suit itself is made of adaptable nanomachines, a gift from another superhero on his birthday last year. It's designed to be completely in tune with his elastic powers without any kind of discomfort or adjusting needed. Its such an advance system, he can cut part of it off, and not only would it reform, he can use the trimmed up part to turn into some other kind of clothing.<br/><br/>BRIEF Bio - On top of being a young hero in the city, Andrew has often been around town late night performing in various rock bands or doing a DJ set. Often times using his local celebrity status as a means to let other heroes into the show incognito as ‘friends’. Often making him someone who other heroes turn to for some well deserved R&R.<br/><br/>Born outside of Engine City in a small suburbs, Andrew always aspired to be a musician. Learning piano first, then guitar, violin, and finally DJ equipment. His walls sprawled with the trophies and awards of numerous local young musician, band, orchestra, and talent show competitions. Being a superhero never at all crossed Andrew’s mind, though he did like a little thrill seeking every now and then. When one day though he went down to an old factory just outside of town since it was a great place for biking around. He quickly realized that the place was being robbed by criminals trying to take some of the factory’s old chemicals. He tried to stop them in secret, by strapping old nails to their truck’s tires while they were putting the chemicals in. However it backfired on Andrew in a way, as one of the barrels fell out and broke open, the lid nailing Andrew in the head and getting him covered in a weird slimy green substance. He quickly ran home, called the police about the truck, showered, and went to bed with his parents never the wiser about what happened.<br/><br/>When Andrew woke up the next morning, his body a noodle like mess all over the bed. It didn’t take long for him to realize what was going on. He worked feverishly to control his powers. Finally as he graduated high school he moved to Engine City. Wanting to open his own nightclub eventually and become another one of the city’s great heroes.<br/>Notes -"

</blockquote><br/><br/>lol well yea, Right now shock wave is just sort of bashing zombies with a base ball bat. I was waiting for something to advance more in that area before I posted for him, weather it be Zero, attacking, them running off. Though I could post that he hears the fight and runs off to help, considering Apex will kill Cypher if we don't fight him off togeather."

In both forms of study, he specializes heavily in heart treatment. He is very trained, and almost flawless in his operations. The witch doctor's treatments are very simple. He painlessly opens the patient up, plucks out their heart, quickly treats said organ with what he calls ""medicine"", and stuffs it back into them. The procedure can take very little time, but it's long lasting effects can be extraordinary.<br/><br/>Card is unfamiliar with combat in any other sense that doesn't include medical procedures. In self defense, he can use many of his medical drugs as tranquilizers.<br/><br/><b>Personality (Optional):</b><br/><br/>Innocent at heart, and innocent with others hearts, the witch doctor can be viewed as a rather dangerous figure. Card desires only to help those around him via medical treatment. The doctor is traveling across the land for his own desires of adventure. He wishes to open up shop one day in the outskirts of the land he hails from, where he can help the injured. With this one could tell that Card is a very unselfish creature.

He looked over his shoulder at some model he had forgotten the name of. Jude quickly scanned the room for his clothes, he got out of the bed and picked them up off the floor. He silently got dressed, buttoning his denim shirt and slipping on his black jeans. He grabbed his wallet and phone from the night stand and quickly made his way into the living room. He took a quick peek out one of the windows, no sign of paparazzi. Jude slipped on his shoes and made his way out the door. The bright sun blinded him as he got into his car, driving to his house.<br/><br/>A buzzing from Derek's phone woke him up, it was a text from Jude. ""On my way home, we still on for breakfast?""

She grinned as she looked around. She finally made it to the big time and she was lucky to have her best friend join her. She slid off the bed and stretched her body with another yawn. Red looked over her shoulder at her kittens and two large dogs sleeping in the bed. She couldn't help the slight giggle at the small kittens being surrounded protectively by the Catahoula and Husky. She threw on a pair of ripped jeans and a black top that said 'good girls love bad boys' with a line crossing through it. She slid into her combat boots and looked back at the mewing kittens climbing all over the annoyed dogs. She giggled before saying ""love you guys! I'll see you when I get home! Mouse, Tiny don't eat the kittens!"" She made her way out of the apartment complex and started walking down the street. She pulled her headphones out of her purse and started listening to music as she strolled. She heard her favorite song, Death Valley from Fall Out Boy, come on and she started singing the lyrics. She waved at passerbys as she walked."

Erica called, slipping out of bed and walking over to her mirror. Her eye makeup from the previous night was smudged around her eyes - or rather, the remainders of it were. ""Ugh.""<br/><br/>The other girl slowly sat up. She yawned and got out of bed too. She was only wearing underwear and a shirt. She was another model - Jemma Harris. She had a kind of unconventional beauty Erica loved, and she was unbelievably intelligent. She was a close friend and occasional sleeping partner of Erica's.<br/><br/>""I have an interview later anyway, Simon will want to prep me all day."" Jemma smiled, wrapping her arms around Erica's waist from behind. Simon was Jemma's stylist and general reference to any beauty, hair or fashion problems Jemma had - and he was very good. When Erica looked again, Jemma had put on her jeans and shoes and was ready to go with her bag and sunglasses equipped. ""I'll see you later, okay? Call me.""

She wondered how long she had been asleep for. She rolled over to the side grabbing her blanket and throwing it over her face. ""Urrgh."" The sunlight bathed her skin as she laid on her side. A few moments past and Nano was already snoring. The door suddenly slams open. Her eyes slowly opened adjusting her surroundings.<b>""Huh.""</b>A young boy, probably one of her next door neighbors. Wrong. It was the Landlord. ""Gurl. You need to start paying your friggin rent. God. What am I going to do with you."" Sure, Nano was really good a taking pictures and was known to be famous...but you see. She uses her rent money on cameras.<b>""Yeah. Just. Leave please.

Neverrr.""</b>She stood up shooing him away.<b>""I'll pay it next time.""</b>Of course she wasn't. Why would she? Hah.<br/><br/>Nano opened up a huge box and inside she saw a elegant yellow dress which as sequined all over. It’s rich Golden color brought out the best features in her. It hung beautifully, words can’t even describe. It was strapless, which showed off her collarbones and her petite shoulders. She twirled around a bit, in love with the dress. In love with herself. Staring at herself in the mirror, she held the tip of her dress.Nano sighed, why was everyone rude? Why did they forget about her? I mean... She shook her head grabbing a hold of her keys and walking out of her room. She took a quick glance at her mirror. Seeing her own self crying and punching the mirror. Her eyes darted away from the scene. Never forgetting that moment.<b>""Shut up.""</b>She told herself. Stepping out of her room and locking the door behind her."

Derek looked out the window, he was surprised by a middle age man, snapping pictures of him and Jude. ""Fucking shit,"" Derek said, putting on his sunglasses.<br/><br/>Jude let out a sigh and reached over Derek to the glove compartment of the car, pulling out a small box. They called this box ""The Kit."" Jude used it whenever he stayed over at a girl's house and didn't have time to get ready. Jude pulled out some hair gel and fixed his matted hair, he then took a swig of mouthwash, rinsing the vodka smell off his breath. Jude sprayed himself with some expensive cologne and put on his sunglasses. ""Let's go."" Jude and Derek got out of the car, whilst being harassed by a group of paparazzi, Jude and Derek ignored them. They entered the cafe and were seated within minutes."

""She's thirty minutes late and she didn't even call me"" he mumbled and shifted in his seat. He looked up from his wrist and saw a cute girl across from him checking him out with a 'OMG! Is that Zach Browning?! No. Way.' He couldn't help but please his fans! Zach gave her a small wink and she almost fainted. He chuckled a bit until he saw two men walk in. He rolled his eyes when he saw who. Thank God Red is knew to the famous world, then he could warn her away from those two. Jude and Derek, the Troubling Twosome. Atleast, that's what he called them.<br/><br/>Red entered a good ten minutes behind them and looked around for Zach. Her eyes landed on the two and her eyebrow rose in interest, which Zach disliked. He knew what that eyebrow rising meant and he wanted his sister, even though she doesn't know, to not get into trouble. Red spotted Zach grinned. She said rather loudly as she walked over to him to hug him ""there's Zach Attack!"" Zach rolled his eyes. ""I told you to stop calling me that since 4th grade when that kid bit my ear because he thought I was going o actually attack him."" Red grinned. ""That's because I broke his favorite two and blamed it on you because you stole my book."" Zach chuckled. ""Red, you brought your foster brother's porn magazine so you could 'study' sex."" Red shrugged as they went to sit down. ""It's biology and physical education."" He bursts out with laughter and managed to order a water for him and a lemonade for Red."

He looked down at the plate of food now in front of him. He grinned, it was they were his favorite, chocolate chip pancakes. He looked around the cafe and noticed Zach and Red. Red's hair definitely made her stand out.Jude took a sip of water not breaking eye contact with Red.<br/><br/>""Dude, you're drooling."" Derek teased. He shot a look in the direction of Jude's stare.

Are you out of your mind Alex?"" Patricia asked, yet again having another early morning head ache with her fiancee Alexander Frost in front of the CEO's of Midnight Studios, the Goldbloom twins.<br/><br/>""It's not just a romance '<i>flick</i>' Pat, it's a story of conflicting ideologies, of ages of seperation, hatred and distrust from your own countrymen, of fighting against the odds, of finding common ground with your enemies..."" Alex went on, defending the cost of his new proposed movie.<br/><br/>""It's about an American military guard falling in love with an East German and getting her out of the country during the cold war. It's a romance flick Alex. Romance flicks don't cost 3 f**king billion dollars to make. Were not even sure this is profitable.""<br/><br/>""It's new, it's a fresh idea, it has a captivating plot and it's never been done before, not the way I'm making it. People would flock to the big screen to watch this.""<br/><br/>""Alex, people don't want new or fresh or complex plots. They want something simple that they already watched before and that they would enjoy without having to think about it.""<br/><br/>""Not everybody out there are idiots Pat. There are still some people who appreciate a good movie that doesn't have an explosion every f**cking 15 minutes.""<br/><br/>""There aren't enough of those people to make a movie like this profitable. besides, you made 3 action movies Alex, that's what you do. You don't change genres because it might end badly.""<br/><br/>""Cool it you two."" David Goldbloom said, the old man looking at the two like a father disappointed at his children's quarreling. ""I like the script and I think we should make a pretty penny out of this. It wont be a block buster but it should still get positive reviews. What do you think Dan?""<br/><br/>His brother, Daniel Goldbloom, took his eyes of the script he was holding and looked at the other people in the room. ""I think the script is pretty good too but before I and my brother go out for breakfast, I just want to run through the basics. Tell me where you want to shoot this, who's going to be in it and how long do you think the filming would take?""<br/><br/>Alex combed his blond hair and smiled, he knew his script was already approved. ""I want to shoot it in Germany...""<br/><br/>""Stop."" David interrupted him. ""If we do go for this, we film this in our studio here and in our plots of land around upstate.""<br/><br/>""We can't film a movie about Germany outside of Germany."" Alex calmly protested. ""It just takes away the authenticity of the film.""<br/><br/>""Can it Alex, there is no way in hell I'm letting you film this outside of the states. If it does come to that, the farthest I'm letting you go is Canada."" David responded. Alex grumbled a little bit and Patricia had a sly smile on her face. ""Now go on.""<br/><br/>""I still don't have anybody in mind for the roles. I think this model, Erica Montgomery, has the right look for Amada but I don't know if she could act. I'll try to get in contact with her, she if can handle the role. As for the main role, Laurence the military guard, I want somebody new for this role. Somebody who hasn't done much of this type of character yet.""<br/><br/>""I don't know who this Montgomery person is but I'll have my people contact her. You told me she was a model?"" Daniel asked.<br/><br/>""A friend of mine knows her and I've seen her in some ads on the t.v. Put on a blonde wig on her and she's practically has everything Laurence described in his book. Like I said, she's only been known for modeling but I think we could make this work. A few acting lessons and I'll take care of the rest.""<br/><br/>""I don't know about this..."" Daniel followed. ""But I'll take a look at her first if we do go on with filming this. Now, how long do you think the filming would last.""<br/><br/>""Since we are filming this in California..."" Alex rolled his eyes. The twins frowned at this and Patricia gave Alex a serious look. A look that said they'll get fired if he keeps acting like a jack**s. ""I say it would take 8 to 10 months tops. Of course editing the films would take about two months or so, so a year to complete the film all together.""<br/><br/>""Sounds good. Look you two, we'll talk about this in more detail over dinner at my place. Be there at around 7 and don't be late. Don't go drinking either, that means you Patricia. Now if you excuse us, we'll be having breakfast now."" David said, standing up and shaking both their hands."

She stepped inside the cafe. Completely forgetting to bring her Laptop with her. Sighing, she sat down and grabbed her phone. She could just continue her work on the phone. She grabbed her camera and gently placed it on the table. Grabbing her headphones from her pocket she went ahead and began listening to some music while she was checking her camera. Staring at the pictures it reminded her that she had never remembered these models names. Nano giggled softly to herself and continued on to what she was doing."

""Can you tell him 'thanks but if he'd really like to buy me something it's be dinner'? I'd really appreciate it sweetie."" The waitress giggled giddily and ran over to Jude and Derek's table. Red smirked slightly and turned back to Zach. She said ""see? Free breakfast and we didn't even have to sign anything. Gotta love a redhead's charm."" She laughed as Zach chuckled, then heard a small and nervous ""excuse me"" from behind her. She turned toward a group of teenage girls and smiled. One, the bravest, said in a soft shaky tone ""can we have your autograph?"" Red looked at Zach and said ""hey Zach, looks like we got ourselves a group of beauties."" Zach looked toward the group and grinned. ""Hey, girls"" he said. Red looked back at the girls and got out of her seat. ""Why don't I do something better since you guys got me on a good day? Why don't I give ya'll my number and we can hang out sometime? Seeing as you girls seem like fun and I like to hang with my fans every so often. Here"" she grabbed one of their pens and wrote her number on their arms. ""Call, text, anything you need"" she winked at them and went back to her seat as they walked away fangirling.<br/><br/>The waitress walked over to the guys' table and said ""she told me to tell you thank you, but if you'd really like to pay for something it'd be dinner.""<br/><br/>Red smirked at Zach and he sighed. ""You gave them my number didn't you?"" She grinned and replied ""you know me so well. Hey, atleast you'll<i>finally</i>have girls calling you."" Zach glared at her playfully."

""I didn't think I was the one offering"" she said in a teasing tone. Zach's eyebrow rose and he really wanted to protect his sister from this guy, but alas he couldn't. Red looked at Jude with a flirty grin and a mischievious glint in her eye. ""What's you're name, Pretty Boy?"" She teased a lot of people, it was her way of being friendly and breaking the ice. Not much could Zach say, so he stood up from his seat and said bye to an otherwise distracted Red. He started walking out when he was stopped by a few fans."
1486,Hollywood Hell,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17963-hollywood-hell,['Free'],2014-03-16 06:22:00,NikkiBlake,"""Jude, Jude Nelson."" Jude was surprised she didn't know who he was, everyone did. ""Wanna get dinner tonight lovely?"" Jude was still whispering in her ear, he ignored Zach as he left.

She went to her favorite cafe and ordered a coffee and a doughnut, she went and took a seat signing an autograph on someones arm before she could even sit down. Juliette ate breakfast half in peace half smiling for a camera. When Juliette got done she sat there for a while thinking things over."

""I'll have to clear my schedule"" she said with a small smirk before reaching for his number. She leaned in and whispered in his ear ""though, you may want to change your tactic next time."" She moved back and grinned teasingly. It's a free meal with a hot guy. Why would she say no to that? Though she may have to watch him. She knew guys like him, dated most of them. She's not looking to get hurt again."

She finished up and stood up to leave, she did have a shoot to go to today. She made eye contact with Derek and smiled quickly. With that, she slipped out of the cafe and into the bright morning sun. She was almost walking on air, he was so sweet. She couldn't stop thinking about his curly hair or his nervousness. She giggled a little, then walked to her apartment to get her bike. She loved biking to her shoots, to have the wind streaming through her hair and to feel the slight ache as she pedaled on it. She got on and rode off, hoping Derek would text or call her soon."

He payed for his meal and tipped the waitress. He nodded to Jude who seemed to be preoccupied, and walked out of the cafe. Paparazzi ignored him, since he wasn't with Jude. He really didn't mind. He rounded the corner of the block and reached an alley, he walked into it and entered from the back door of the shelter. He waved to his boss and a few co workers, he made his way to his locker and put on his work clothes. He was sure to save Lily's number on his phone before he threw out the receipt. He made his way into the puppy room,making his usual rounds. He grinned when he reached a certain cage, a brown pug named Dexter had become Derek's favorite. He snapped a picture of him and sent it to Lily 'guess who?'"

She had just arrived at work and was sitting in her dressing room. She saw the picture and grinned, it was Derek. She quickly replied,<i>Hi Derek! :D What's the dog's name?</i>she hit send then immediately saved the number to her phone. She wondered if he had a dog, or a pet of any kind. She'd swing by the shelter on the way home. She started looking over the script for the movie to refresh her memory. She ran her fingers through her blond hair and heard the others coming into the shooting area. She knew she still had almost ten minutes before prep, she always got to places either a bit early or a bit late."

We found him in a dumpster a couple weeks ago, he's fine now. Haha.' Derek attached another picture, this time of Dexter climbing all over his face. Dexter was still a puppy, Derek was surprised that anyone would throw him away. Derek slipped his phone in his pocket and continued to play with Dexter."

I actually have to go to work now, is it ok if I stop by later? It's the shelter near the cafe right?</i>she set her phone on the vanity and smiled. Her director knocked on the door and told her she had a few minutes. ""Alright,"" she replied and went back to the script"

She changed back into her normal clothes and went outside to get on her bike. She rode hard and fast to the shelter, her hair streaming through the air as her smile devoured her face. She parked her bike outside, and unfortunately paparazzi saw her. She smiled and signed a bunch of autographs then did a lap with her bike to get away from them. She saw the back entrance and entered, hoping Derek wouldn't mind. She sent him a quick text<i>I'm here :)</i>"

He, on the otherhand, was distracted by his own imagination. He stared at the girl that left the cafe in a hurry. He was taken aback with Juliette's beauty, but he knew she was probably taken. Red cleared her throat and Zach jumped slightly. Red grinned at him and wiggled her eyebrows slightly. ""Somethin' catch your eye?"" He glared at her as his cheeks reddened a bit. She grinned widely. ""Who's she?"" He sighed, knowing she would pester. ""She's Juliette-"" Red's eyes widened. ""Wait, you saw Juliette... the actress?!"" He nodded with a small blush, reddening his ears. Red grinned. ""Maybe you guys could roleplay together."" He glared at her and she stuck her tongue out at him before making a mad dash for her appartment. He ran after her. ""You little- GET BACK HERE!"" She giggled as she ran."

He didn't want to get hurt... again.<br/><br/>Red finished up the song and looked down at her phone with a raised eyebrow. If he thought she was going to sleep with him, he was wrong. She sent back<b>I'll be there in a few minutes. I'll need the address though</b>. She wanted to find someone nice to her. Someone that would take care of her, but Jude isn't going to do those things and she still wanted to see him? It'll be one night. That's all he wants from her anyway. She knew his type and she knew he probably had some other girl or girls in his heart. She didn't want to interfere. She exited the recording studio and stood in front of the studio, waiting for the text."

'I thought I had seen you before, and anyways it doesn't matter.' She pulled into the parking lot and went up to her room, she checked Jackie's food and water. Then she went to lay down."

1531,Hollywood Hell,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17963-hollywood-hell,['Free'],2014-03-17 00:21:00,NikkiBlake,"Jude texted Red his address. He continued to smoke on the couch, he rubbed the bridge of his nose. Whenever he was alone he remembered his<a href=""http://cdn04.cdn.justjaredjr.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2013/12/vanessa-hudgens-austin-butler-twirl-parking-lot.jpg"">ex</a>Jude sighed. He waited for Red to arrive.<br/><br/>Derek's eyes widened and kissed Lily back. He didn't stop until Dexter started barking, Derek pulled away and laughed, picking Dexter up. ""I think this guy wants to leave."" Derek took a leash, a few bowls and a small bed from the storage. He grabbed a small bag of puppy food from the shelf. ""Ready?"" he asked."
1532,Hollywood Hell,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17963-hollywood-hell,['Free'],2014-03-17 00:23:00,Savi,"Zach smiled softly.<b>Cool. Maybe we can hang out sometime? I'll text you later. I've got a few errands to run.</b>Zach walked passed a news stand and saw a picture of Jude with a girl. He then looked a little closer and saw that it was... Juliette? He looked at the date and noticed that it was a little ways back, but it wasn't as back as he's liked. Zach grew angrier.<i>Jude is not only going to see my sister, but he's also been with the girl I thought I was interested in?! I hate that asshole!</i>He felt like throwing his phone. Obviously, he was going to be more careful with this girl now. He soon started feeling like there was no point in relationships. That he'd only get hurt.<br/><br/>Red walked over to the said address and noticed the proximity. It wasn't too far from her place, but that was a good thing. She didn't have to walk too long after rejecting him. She knocked on the door and stood with her hands on her hips. She didn't want to just jump into bed with a random guy she met today that is actually a huge player. That wasn't her style. She was a little nervous, but it was her first date since becoming famous. She worried that she would be seen differently because of the material she sings."

I'll see you tomorrow?"" she asked, holding all the dog supplies with Dexter at her feet. She was glad her apartment was nearby, she didn't know how she'd get everything home on her bike."

She pulled out her phone and texted Jude saying, 'Hey I'm sorry about earlier, I hope you and Red work out but on another note is there a way to make it up to you?' Juliette felt stupid, she couldn't believe herself but she still sent the text and some part of her knew she had wanted to stay. She sighed and got up looking for something to keep her occupied. She pulled out her phone and saw that the guy texted her, she sighed and said. 'Yeah we can meet up later, I think we live in the same building."""

He texted back<b>oh, I'm heading there now. Seems my errands are postponed.</b>In actuality, he just didn't want to seem desperate. Now, it didn't matter. He didn't understand why it bothered him so much, but it did. He just met the girl today, so why be this way? Heck, she might just be talking to him to get her mind off Jude. He walked to his appartment in a daze. Every girl he's dated or hung out with has hurt him in some way or another. Red even hurt him when they got into a fight once and that was his<i>sister</i>! So why did he keep trying? Oh, that's right! He is Prince Charming to girls who are looking for Prince Player. He sighed as he went to his mailbox."

'Dinner tomorrow?' he replied.Jude didn't know what he was doing. He didn't know if he wanted to be the same asshole he was before or if he wanted to change. That's when he heard a knock, he smelled his shirt that reeked of smoke, he quickly changed into a black long sleeved shirt. He pushed his blonde hair back and opened the door. He smiled a genuine smile when he saw Red."

'No if the errands are important you don't have to.' She sent the text and sat back on her couch, she didn't want to have company but she would deal. Her phone buzzed and she smirked when she saw what Jude suggested. 'If you don't have plans with Red.'"

She parked it in her normal spot outside then walked up the stairs with Dexter and his supplies in tow. She opened her apartment door and set everything down. ""Alright boy, welcome to your new home."" she said with a flourish. Dexter wagged his tail and settled down on his bed. Lily smiled, and shook her head. She went into her bedroom and turned on the TV, not really having anything to do. She thought about the kiss and smiled, she couldn't have felt happier"

What are you wearing?"" she giggled. ""Come see me tonight.""<br/><br/>""I would, but I have this hot date. It's gonna get me famous, I swear."" Jemma replied. She was always doing stuff like that, dating famous guys to get higher up.<br/><br/>""Who is he this time?""<br/><br/>""Only a director! Want me to mention your name? Could get you something good!""<br/><br/>""Sure. Okay, I'll see you soon, baby."" Erica made a kissing noise down the phone and hung up, finally reaching her studio apartment. It was spacious, and she was happy to be home. She yawned, going into the bathroom and running the hot water for a bath. When she was in, she was scrolling through her twitter feed. She was grateful to have fans, but god, some of them were really annoying. She went into her DMs and pulled up Jude, shooting him a quick message: 'Say you today, must have missed me, hope you're having a nice night x'."

Derek Wheeler, wow.<br/><br/>""Hey! Hey, Derek."" she approached. ""Hi, it's Jemma. You might not remember, we met at that thing with Jude. Erica was there... whatever! How are you? It's not often you're seen without Jude!"" Jemma laughed, she was definitely a talker. She was worried she came on a little... or a lot, strong."

""Okay, but if were going to do this and you see other girls then I get to see other guys. Let's call it... an open relationship."" She grinned, but he had yet to know her. Her real name wasn't even Red, but that's a story for later. She wondered if she should even tell him her real name.<i>Probably not</i>she decided. She heard his phone go off twice in his pocket and she knew it was girls. It's the first date anyway. She's not going to expect him to not go out with other girls. That's just him; but while he's going out with other girls, she'll be out with other guys. That's just how she was. She wasn't going to have him have all the fun.<br/><br/>Zach looked down at his phone and his eyebrow rose.<b>I had my errands at my house...</b>He had to feed the dogs and make dinner.

She snapped a picture of Dexter sleeping and said<i>Look what I brought home x3</i>. She smiled and scrolled through a bit more. She decided she probably wasn't going to go out again and changed into sweatpants and an old t-shirt with her hair in a messy bun on top of her head. She texted Red, saying<i>we need to talk :3</i>she kept it short, just in case she was with a guy. she'd get to it eventually"

I'm not wrong in assuming you were eyeing up some girl though? Haha x'. She yawned again, god, the day really had taken it out of her. She loved her job but she felt like an old lady. It wasn't even that late. She looked through twitter again, favouriting a picture of Derek with a girl called Lily. Cute, but how come she didn't know about it? Had it been that long since she'd been real friends with Jude and Derek? Maybe she hadn't talked to them in longer than she thought.

In fact, she was the uncrowned queen of upfront. If she wanted to know something, she'd ask. There's no point in treading on eggshells if you want to get what you want.

""Seems so"" she said with a smile. She looked up at him and grinned. ""I'll make sure to keep you on your toes."" She winked and poured herself another shot. She had to limit herself tonight. She didn't want to do anything without remembrance of it.<br/><br/>Zach smiled, but remembered what he saw earlier and his heart sank a little bit. He said, finally, ""I need to know, though; do you still have some feelings for Jude? I want to be able to protect my sister."" And maybe even himself. He lowered his head, as if feeling guilty about asking when they were having such a good time."

""We were partners before...acting partners, and we had some sort of a fling but it didn't last of course."" Juliette frowned. ""He is an ass though, he may have feelings for your sister but it may not last."""

He hoped Juliette wouldn't see the pictures, he wanted to focus on Red but he kept thinking about Juliette. Jude eventually shook those feelings and continued telling stupid stories to Red. Jude stood up and plopped himself onto the couch, bringing the vodka with him. He motioned for Red to join him. He licked his lips, they tasted like vodka."
1574,Hollywood Hell,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17963-hollywood-hell,['Free'],2014-03-17 03:42:00,Savi,"Red watched as he moved and walked, somewhat hesitantly, over to the couch. She sat down next to him and said ""listen, I was serious about us having an open relationship. I know it's hard to shake habits and I know you're not going to stop. You're probably thinking about another girl right now and so I'm not going to intrude on that. Just be honest with me, okay? I..."" She stopped herself. She experienced this so many times that she just gave up having faithfulness in a relationship. It still hurt, though. It still hurt from the first to the previous time. It was probably going to hurt every time, but it didn't matter. She took the vodka from him and took a sip before putting it on the coffee table.<br/><br/>Zach sighed. ""It's just... she has no clue I'm her brother and I've never acted like a brother. I never protected her from all the Judes she has ran into before. She hurts and I can't protect her. I just want to protect her this once."""

Yet, she couldn't help but open her eyes to make certain he wasn't just kissing her. Her eyes slowly drifted closed. She knew she was getting into a dangerous situation and she knew she was going to get hurt. She knew all this, but it was a strange addiction. She lifted her hand and ran her hands through his hair.<br/><br/>Zach smiled and said ""thanks"". He looked into her eyes and leaned in to kiss her. He knew rejection was very much possible, but trying wasn't half bad either."

He was adding another girl to his list, no he really liked Red, He couldn't do that, but he couldn't stop. Jude started to kiss her neck, his lips met her skin.

Jude kept kissing her neck.<br/><br/>Derek unlocked the door with his keys, he walked in screaming ""Honey i'm home!!!"" Derek had a bag of burgers in his hand, he reached the living room.

""I-I'm Fa-Red. I'm Red. That was quite an entrance though!"" She smiled sheepishly. She looked back at Jude and said ""I think I should go... it was fun!"" She turned back to the roommate. ""Nice meeting you, sweetie. I'll have to catch your name some other time, yeah?"" She quickly made her way to the door and grabbed her shoes.<br/><br/>Zach smiled at Juliette.

She felt her heart leap from her chest. Never has a guy offered to give her a ride after doing anything. She couldn't help her actions as she felt her eyes tear up.

She'll cheat if he cheats. She'll move on if he dumps her for someone else. She heard a knock at the door and went to open it. There stood Zach. Zach looked really happy but really pissed at the same time. Red smiled sheepishly and Zach said ""I'm glad you didn't sleep with him."" A blush overcame her features and he knew that they must have gotten pretty close to it. Zach stepped in and sat on the couch. ""Why can't you learn from all the others?!"" Red tensed as the door closed. ""Why can't I learn?! WHY CAN'T I LEARN?!"" She turned to him and put her hands on her hips. ""Do you want to know what I learned"" she yelled at him. ""I learned never to trust guys! I learned never to give someone my heart! I learned to understand that guys are unfaithful and that that's how it is! Don't talk to me about learning because I've learned much more than you have!"" She didn't know she was crying until she felt the tears dripping onto her shirt.

Drawings, scenery Almost anything. She got up and changed into her Pjs, grabbing a hold of her Laptop. Nano decided to entertain herself. Logging into a kids website and began saying weird things to them. She was enjoying this very much. Nobody really talked to her so why not play a little prank on people online.

Josh, wrapping his arms around her waist, said ""because you said you wanted to see me last night."" Red instinctually started pushing him away. ""Sorry, but I guess it was the wrong number. I..."" She remembered the article and took out her phone to show him the picture. ""I have a boyfriend now!"" Josh, growing angry, shoved Red into the apartment and slammed the door behind him. ""You what?!

The people below went about their daily business, working and learning, enjoying their lives. Why wouldn't they? The day was beautiful, as most days were during the tail end of summer. The children were making the most of the free days they had left, and parents were anticipating the beginning of the new school year. Altogether, there was a very calm atmosphere in the town, making it a very comfortable place to live.<br/><br/>Yet, somewhere within the buildings and people, a young teenage girl was about to make a dire mistake. Moving through the streets, catching snippets of several different conversations as she passed several people, thirteen year-old Grace could not believe how bored she was. The sun was shining, the world around her vast and open for exploration, and yet she couldn't think of anything to do. Sure, there were chores around the house and her father's small farm to be done, but after participating in the same routines for so long, she had found the need to break away and partake in something new. But what? There wasn't much to do for a young girl like her, at least not without someone to join her.<br/><br/>Sighing, her hazel eyes darted from building to building, door to door of each business, and person to person. Nothing caught her interest, as was probably best since she had no money. At the realization that she wouldn't be able to do or buy anything, Grace was about to turn around and head for somewhere else when something did catch her eye. Turning her head, she spotted a small shop, door open to keep a breeze going inside and welcome potential customers. Grace had never noticed it before, meaning it was something new. Figuring it was better than aimlessly wandering the streets, she headed inside. Once in the shop, Grace found it to hold several trinkets, mostly rocks and gems. There was a musky scent in the air, and specks of dust lingering on the shelves. Whoever worked there was nowhere in sight.<br/><br/>The more she looked around, the more she realized how uninterested she was in what was offered. After a few minutes, she was about to leave when something caught her eye once again. Sitting on the main counter, at just the right angle for a gleaming ray of sunlight to hit it, was a peculiar object. At the distance she stood, it appeared to be a stone. But, maybe it was something else? Without another thought, she walked up to the counter, the floorboards creaking in protest beneath her worn sneakers. Upon getting closer, Grace leaned over the counter to look over the register, trying to get a better view of the object.<br/><br/>It looked like a gem. A very large, round, oval-shaped, beautiful gem that seemed to glow in the sunlight. She had never seen anything like it, and couldn't even attempt to guess what kind it was. The shades of black and gray flowed so perfectly, accented by a hint of white. Grace was mesmerized, almost in a trance. It was just sitting there, on the counter, with a cloth beneath it. Would it be so bad to just...take it? It was left out right there in the open, surely it would not be missed.<br/><br/>Glimpsing up, she saw that there was no employee in sight, and began to wonder if there was even anyone there. This was her chance. Turning her attention back on the gem, she reached for it and quickly snatched it in both hands, taking the cloth with it and covering it up. Before she could be caught, she swiftly walked out of the shop with the gem tucked tight against her chest, hoping no one had seen her. The streets were barren of any pedestrians, with only a couple cars zooming by. No one was there to see her.<br/><br/>Maybe she should have thought it over, considered the consequences for stealing something of such obvious worth. Yet, would it really be missed? If someone had wanted it, he or she should have kept a better eye on it, instead of just leaving it where anyone could see it. At least, that was the excuse she used to rationalize her actions. Nonetheless, what was done was done. Within half an hour, she was walking onto her family's property and into her house, which was empty, her father out tending to something on the farm, likely the animals. It was just her and him there, so his absence meant the house was hers for the time being. Everything seemed to be falling in her favor. Perhaps she was meant to have the gem! She smiled at the thought, quickly vanishing into her bedroom. There, she placed it on her bed, uncovering it before gently running a fingertip over the smooth surface.<br/><br/>It glimmered in her eyes, making her question what sort of mineral it was. It didn't appear to be the right shade to be an onyx, or any other gem that was generally dark colored. And it felt like it was hallow, or maybe that was her imagination. Perhaps it was something newly discovered? Well, maybe she could look it up on the internet later. For the time being, she sat on the bed and placed it in her lap. She again ran her hands over it, not feeling a single crack or flaw in the surface. It was then that she finally noticed the faint heat that radiated from it. Well, that was strange. Puzzled, she took her hands off it. The longer she had the gem, the more it confused her. Then again, that just made it more interesting. After several minutes passed, she carried it to her dresser. The top of it was littered with only small things, leaving plenty of room for the gem. There she placed it, then stood back and again admired how beautiful it was. A few minutes passed before Grace looked away. If her father questioned where she had gotten it, she'd just say it was something she had found while exploring the woods. She had found things before, rocks and forgotten possessions, so it wasn't too farfetch'd.<br/><br/>She smiled to herself, and for the rest of the day lingered in her room, wondering about that peculiar gem. She even missed dinner, much to her father's confusion.<br/><br/>When night came, she thought it would be best to cover it up, which she did with the cloth she had carried it home in. Giving it one last look, Grace left it and climbed into her bed. With all the day's excitement still buzzing around in her head, she didn't think she'd be able to sleep. Yet, eventually, she dozed off."

The lonely shopkeeper muttered to himself as he opened his store. Wandering around inside the room of mystery and all sorts of trinkets, he made his way to the backdoor. He didn't expect anyone to arrive at the early hours, he used that as an opportunity to get some fresh air in the shop. He opened the back door as the rays from the sun met him. He smiled.<br/><br/>Outside stood an older man. He wasn't very tall, not compared to the shopkeeper at least. He had a small white beard which was really the most notable thing about him. The old man's eyes scanned the shopkeeper as they had done for many years. At first they didn't say any words to each other. They usually didn't to start off with. They had a deeper understanding of eachother, a sort of connection.<br/>""Is it safe?"" the older man asked. The shopkeeper simply nodded and replied ""As always. We've kept it safe for centuries, it will stay safe."" the two men nodded as the shopkeeper reminded them of the purpose of the egg.<br/><br/>""Dark magic dwells within, my friend. It could destroy us all. Nothing good can come out of it. Nothing."" The old man said and left the conversation silent. He tapped his foot before he continued ""Or so the legend says."" they both let out a grin. It had been kept safe for so long they were starting to doubt their purpose. But then again, centuries ago their family had been chosen to keep the dragon egg safe. Mostly because of their magical ability to keep the hatching away. And they had done exactly that. ""Nonetheless, I just wanted to check up on you."" the shopkeeper nodded as he went inside the shop, leaving his father outside.<br/><br/>As he went inside he thought his world froze, perhaps it did. Something was different. Very different. His eyes glanced around in the shop until he realized it. It was gone. What his family had protected for so many years was gone in a matter of minutes. ""No... No no no."" he kept muttering to himself as he searched everything through. He had to make sure he had not just forgotten it somewhere. But why should he have? He never did. He rushed out in the street and looked all around.<br/>But everything was as it used to be. Everyone was doing their usual thing. Except for him. He was in panic. He shouted and cursed and ended up sitting on the ground, staring into nothing.<br/>""We're doomed. Doomed...""<br/><br/>The egg had not moved since being moved. But the creature inside was slowly becoming full of life. Dragon eggs had always had a certain effect on humans. Those who couldn't resist would usually be drawn to their beauty. But some were able to control the hunger for admiring the egg. Those wielding magic. Long lost enemy of the dragons. Of course it wasn't all dragons who were these reckless creatures, as many was led to believe. Some had been peaceful. But others weren't. Sadly, this egg was one of them. Naturally evil. Hungry for death. Chaotic, monstrous, corruptive, sinister, hellish. Some were the words used to describe the race. Evil at heart, truly.<br/><br/>The egg was growing restless, for so long it had been kept away from hatching. Finally it was time to break free. Becoming warmer and warmer, the egg started to release a certain light. For a time it would seem the heat became too much to bare, but then it disappeared. And the egg began to hatch. First a little crack, then another. With a little headbutt the little head poked out of the egg. A little and silent sound was released from the hatched creature. It fought it's way out of the egg. However, the little creature already found it's first challenge ahead of it. It was a long way down for a little creature. The creature let out a whelp to call for help, however, no one came.<br/><br/>The creature looked around in the room. It began wagging it's tail and attempted another call for help. It attempted to find a way to climb down. Using different tables around the room and anything else it could use, it finally made it down. It's wings were of no use at this time, it even had a hard time moving around. When the little dragon had made it's way to the floor, it was overwhelmed by all the things to sniff. Too many things for it to concentrate, it was acting like a little puppy. And then something caught it's eye. Another creature! The little dragon almost cheered out of joy, it had to be it's mommy! Excited it ran across the floor, and heroically climbed the bed (after many failed attempts). For a few seconds it sniffed the other creature. Deciding it was safe, the dragon cuddled itself to sleep on top of the sheets, in the other end of the bed, and quickly doze off."

She was a deep sleeper; none of the sounds woke her up, nor did the little creature climbing up onto her bed. In unconscious response, she pulled her covers a little closer to her body, and nuzzled her head against her pillow. She mumbled something incoherently, but still did not wake. She dreamed of hazy lights and small squeaks, with no clear picture to stay focused on. There came the sound of water, and a sudden, bright flash of light that startled her so much that she jolted awake. She sat straight up, heart pounding from the quick awakening.<br/><br/>Rain tapped at the window, and lightening momentarily lit up the entire room. Her curtains billowed in the breeze, signaling that the window had been left open a crack with no screen to filter out the falling water. The fresh, earthy smell of rain filled the room. A loud boom of thunder followed, making Grace cringe and tug her blankets up to her chin. Along the way, she felt them resist, as though something was holding them down at the other end of her bed. Confused, the teen peeked over the edge of the told blanket, glancing at the foot of the bed. At first, she saw nothing. Then, a lightening strike once again lit up the area, revealing the reptilian animal.<br/><br/>Grace jumped, letting out a confused sound. ""Wha-What the?!"""

Not the rain nor the thunder could awaken such an animal, they were known to sleep through most things. The bright light revealed the dark scale on the animal. But something made it wake up. The reptile looked up at the girl, stretching it's little body. It sat down and observed her, slightly wagging it's tail from left to right, right to left. It looked around the room again, before deciding to explore again. It started to make it's way closer to the her, and it started to sniff her. The black eyes looked up at the girl, looking like an innocent animal, at this time.<br/><br/>The shopkeeper was devastated. It was thundering. He had been staring into the distance for hours. He had looked everywhere for the egg. But it was gone, gone with the wind. He slammed his head onto the table, cursing out gibberish. Anger was starting to overtake him, and his hand was glowing red. A dark spot was left on the table when he raised his hand again. ""They'll kill me. Bury me alive, burn me, or maybe just kill me off if I'm lucky."" he muttered to himself. A friend had been keeping him company the latest hours, a friend by the name of whiskey. The bottle was almost empty as the shopkeeper took another swig.<br/>""I'll find you. Find you and make a nice omelet out of you,<i>dragon.</i>"""

At first, she thought she was still dreaming, caught in the world between waking and sleeping. Hallucinating, really. There came another strike of lightening, once again lighting up the whole room for a second at most. The thing was still there. And now it was awake. She moved up a little, trying to get away from it before she decided to tumble out of the bed and scramble to the light switch. The flood of light nearly blinded her, but she was too busy and frightened to really care.<br/><br/>She whipped her head around at the bed, hoping that the animal was gone. Unfortunately for her, it wasn't. But she was able to get a better look at it. Scaly, black, fairly tiny. Were those little wings on its back? She blinked, trying to recall all the reptile species that lived around their farm, yet came up with nothing. She glanced at the dresser, remembering the gem from earlier, and saw that it was gone. Her eyes widened, gaze trailing down to see the remains of what looked like an egg shell.<br/><br/>She was too tired to put all the pieces together. Instead, she slowly moved to the bed, fuzzy vision clearing just in time for her to see how innocent the creature looked. It was just...looking at her, wagging its tail like a regular puppy. At that sight, she relaxed a little, letting it sniff her. With a surge of curiosity, Grace gently offered it her hand, palm up. ""Hey...Little guy,"" she softly said, trying to keep her voice from shaking too much."

The little reptile put it's two paws on her palm, as it sniffed it. It whined slightly when it found out that she didn't offer it any food. It looked up at her with a reptilian version of puppy eyes. But in the same moment a small bug had flown into the room, surely attracted by the light. The bug flew to the other end of the bed and explored the surroundings. It caught the dangerous attention of the animal. It moved from the girl's hands and ran to the bug. The little creature stumbled along the way a couple of times. When it made it's way to the bug it stopped and looked at it.<br/><br/>The dragon let out a light growl and attempted to do something it appeared. After a few moments the chest area of the dragon became more dark and let out a light. The dragon opened it's mouth and out came a small breath of hell. A darkish fire attacked the poor bug and tormented it before finishing it off. The small dragon became very excited and attempted to find the dead fried bug, not having any idea that the tiny flame might have hit something it wasn't supposed to."
1940,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-04-13 02:09:00,MurderVictim,"Grace watched in near horror as the bug was roasted and fell to the floor. She saw it land near her dresser, but was a little too concerned with another pressing matter to help the little creature find it. The small flame it had let out had not only hit the bug, but also the foot of her bed. The top comforter, which was old and worn, caught a small spark and began to smoke. She grit her teeth and felt her heart leap, before actually thinking of doing anything about it. She finally leaped into action, grabbing her pillow and hitting it against the burning spot on the blanket. If she didn't hurry, the smoke would set off the alarm. And the alarm would wake up her dad. And her dad would no doubt rush in to find out what was going on, and would find the...Dragon?<br/><br/>She didn't want to think past that. She didn't really want to think at all. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the smoke to fade and the spot to stop burning. The blanket now had a decently sized hole in it, but it was better than the incident creating a huge commotion. Grace sighed and dropped her pillow, then let herself sit back down on the bed. Maybe this was all just a dream...<br/><br/>She'd wake up soon. She was sure of it."
1941,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-04-17 07:35:00,SlashInfinite,"The dragon kept wagging it's tail in excitement. However, it became quite surprised when the girl started hitting the flame with her pillow. It stumbled backwards on the bed, falling down on it's back. Another small roar could just be heard from the small creature. Almost insulted it stood up again, looking around for the dead bug.<br/><br/>With a light jump, he had made his way down to the floor, running around like a little playful puppy. When the bug was finally in sight, the dragon crawled slowly towards it. It jumped right in front of the bug and examined it. Careful, the small creature lowered itself and sniffed the bug. The tail began wagging again as the small bug was quickly eaten by the reptile.<br/><br/>Satisfied, he stumbled back to the bed. After a few failed attempts, the creature was able to crawl his way back up. With silent steps it walked towards Grace. Tired, it yawned and decided to lay down in front of Grace, on the bed sheets. The animal had a certain aura around it. An aura that gave a feeling of uncertainty, curiosity and fear. The strange creature had become calm again, and was out like a baby. There it lay tired, completely vulnerable for anything."
1942,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-05-07 05:31:00,MurderVictim,"""Hey, don't complain. I can't let the house burn down.""<br/><br/>Grace couldn't help but smile as she watched the little reptile stalk its probably-already-dead prey. She let out a small laugh as it finally got its snack, and laughed a little more at its failed attempts to get back onto the bed. It was almost like any other baby animal - behavior wise anyway - and it certainly struck and warmed her heart. She watched as he climbed over to her and promptly fell asleep. She smiled again, reached over, and gently covered it with the edge of the top cover. After tucked him in a little, she scooted down, got settled, then turned the light off.<br/><br/>At that point, she was so tired, she didn't care if it was a dream or not. Perhaps it wasn't a dream. Deep down, she wanted it to be real, or at least not some kind of hallucination from over-exhaustion. If anything, she was surprised by how unafraid she was. That reptile could spit out more fire and do some real damage, she was sure, but she was also put off guard by his vulnerability and cuteness.<br/><br/>Damn, what a risk. And just what kind of shop had she walked into?<br/><br/>'Questions later...Time for sleep,' she thought as she drifted off to dreamland. It would be morning in just a few short hours, and dawn was creeping upon them. Her father would be getting up soon enough to start his regular chores around the farm. Hopefully, he wouldn't peek in on her."
1943,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-05-07 21:46:00,SlashInfinite,"The baby reptile snuggled around in it’s sleep, making various light-voiced snores and whatnot. It slept easily, not being disturbed by anything now. It had gotten it’s first snack, after all. For whatever proud it could be, it was. Satisfied, indeed.<br/><br/>After a few hours, the sun finally shone again. The rays of sun gleaming through the window, and into the room. The tiny eyelids lifted off the small round eyes. Dragons were known for waking up as soon the sun woke. Or well, to the people actually knowing about their existence. They had not been present for decades, and those that were so long ago, had been hunted down and killed.<br/>The little baby dragon crawled out under the cover, tongue sticking out. It gazed around the room, before climbing on to the girl’s bedsheets. A little sound escaped the creature, in an attempt to wake her up. The sound reminded of a baby-dinosaur trying to sound as mighty as possible.<br/><br/>He started jumping around on her, like a little puppy wannabe. The dragon crawled over to her face, sitting down with a thud. The small head tilted, and the tail started wagging again.<br/><br/>Outside the farm was waking up too. Animals starting to sing their morning songs, as it sounded like Grace’s father had not given her a visit, but gone straight on with his work."
1944,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-05-18 07:53:00,MurderVictim,"At first, Grace was tempted to roll onto her other side and completely ignore the bouncing, noisy creature beside her. She squeezed her eyes a little tighter against the ray of sunshine that could now flow right in her face. She groaned in annoyance, clenched the blanket in her fist to bring it closer to her chin, and snapped her eyes open. Unlike her father, she wasn't a morning person. She didn't want to be a morning person. Her usual farm chores were capable of being done in the afternoon, just after she liked to wake up, even if it meant working in the heat.<br/><br/>Oh, wait. She had more than just farm chores to worry about that morning.<br/><br/>Blinking, she shoved the blanket down a bit and peeked over her shoulder at the tiny reptile. Memories came flooding back of only a few hours earlier, when the room was dark and all she could see were faint shimmers of scales on an unfamiliar figure, and hear the sounds of an obviously very young animal. Now that it was light and she could finally get a good, detailed look at what she was dealing with. And yes, it really was a dragon.<br/><br/>She sat up, blew her unruly bangs out of her face, and stared at the creature. ""Good morning,"" she finally said."
1945,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-05-20 21:45:00,SlashInfinite,"The tiny creature started wagging it’s tail more violently, seeing as the girl woke up. It started to jump around happily, the light squeaky sounds from it started to fill the room. Clumsily, he jumped off the bed, landing almost face first, both of his back legs sticking straight up into the air. It slid a little across the floor, the newborn scale preventing any serious injury. The back legs landed with a thud on the floor, as the reptile rose up, as if it was almost oblivious to how it landed there.<br/><br/>Swiftly it turned around again, looking up on the bed, trying to spot the girl. Tiny, tiny wings tried to fold themselves out, on his back, as he attempted to rise higher up, only supporting himself with his two back legs. It barely stood up, before returning to it’s sort of clowning behavior, and falling back on all four legs. It wasn’t like it was thinking much at this point. For him, the entire world was that room, and he explored it all the time. Little did the dragon know, that a much larger world actually existed outside the window, and the door. For now, it was all about exploration, food, sleep, and sticking to the pack of the two of them.<br/><br/>And the second requirement struck him. The tiny belly started rumbling, demanding more food. A pair of small ears flopped down instantly, as reaction to the sound. Barely knowing what it meant, besides the hunger for food, the dragon cried out at Grace, trying to hopelessly ask for help. The world had been kind to the reptile so far. And wether or not that kindness would be returned, was yet to be revealed."
1946,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-05-27 07:43:00,MurderVictim,"Grace again couldn't help but smile at the little reptile's antics. She was very aware of what young animal behavior consisted of, having been around many of them in her lifetime thanks to living on a small farm, but she couldn't quite recall seeing any other animal who acted like him. Well, she hadn't exactly been around any other dragons. Or any other supposedly mythical creature. So there was no other example to compare him to, other than puppies, but even that seemed a little off. In thought, she scratched the back of her head, momentarily forgetting the dragon.<br/><br/>His loud, crying squeaks brought her back to the problem at hand. She looked down at him, only taking a few seconds to realize just what was needed. Food. That bug he had roasted last night would hold him off for only so long. But what was there to feed him? What was safe to feed him?<br/><br/>""Okay, okay. I hear you."" She threw back the covers and stood. Caught between leaving him there and bringing him with her, she quickly figured that bringing him with her would be better than leaving him alone. Bending down, she carefully picked him up, doing her best to support him as she carried him out of the door.<br/><br/>There was bound to be leftover food in the fridge. Meatloaf, maybe even chicken. She'd go for the meatloaf first - no bones made it easier to deal with. Once she was in the kitchen, she looked around to be sure that it was safe, then set him down. ""Stay there,"" she said a little more firmly than she meant. Hoping that he would listen, she turned to open the fridge, beginning to dig through it for something suitable for the baby dragon."
1947,A Girl and Her Dragon (SlashInfinite and MurderVictim),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17970-a-girl-and-her-dragon-slashinfinite-and-murdervictim,['1x1'],2014-06-12 13:07:00,SlashInfinite,"His eyes flew around as they went downstairs. Curiosity stroke the young reptile, causing him to do a few attempts of getting down. When they arrived to the kitchen, he was placed down. The tail slowly starting waving around, as the dragon stumbled around. He started sniffing various things in the kitchen - not moving out of it, however. Whether or not he understood the command, or it simply didn’t cross the young creature’s mind, was unclear.<br/><br/><i>At the shop…</i><br/><br/>The shopkeeper sat hopelessly against the counter, barely having gotten any sleep all night. The empty bottle standing by his side, with his eyes staring at the closed door, of his peculiar shop. A small orb laid by his other side, having a faint blueish glow. He had gone to last resort. It frightened him, but compared to what could happen if that dragon grew up-… it was necessary. His eyes were locked straight on the orb, the glow disappearing entirely. While filled with fear, he turned his head.<br/>A hooded figure stood in front of him. It was dressed in a blue trenchcoat, with silver lines running down over it, like a waterfall.<br/><br/>The face was darkened, though a few strings of brown hair lay out through the front of the hood, by the shoulders of the figure. The arms were crossed, and the head bend down towards the shopkeeper.<br/><br/>“I-… it could be anywhere. But… it’s gone. I know what it means to you, I truly do. It’s-… it’s why I called for you.” he dared not to make eye contact with the figure, merely staring down at him.<br/>Within a few seconds, the hooded figure turning it’s head; looking out through the open door.<br/><br/>The voice was low and careful, a hint of fear hidden within the words.<br/>“It’s out there then? Do they know?” the voice of a young female asked, returning the attention back to the shopkeeper, shaking his head.<br/>She nodded at him, before continuing.<br/><br/>“They still don’t know of me, then? I’d like to keep it that way. You know exactly how they feel about my kind - our kind, I suppose it is now. With the egg gone from the hands of a magi, it must already have hatched.” she shuddered, burying her arms around herself.<br/><br/>“I’ll look for it. If it discovers -… when it discovers it’s abilities, I’ll feel it, surely. It’ll lead me to it, I hope… It pains me that this is the fate of the only other one of my kin-…” she sighed, before being interrupted by the shopkeeper, who had a frown on his face.<br/><br/>“You told me your -kin- did not wish to be compared to the kin of the egg. You said they were considered enemies -“ he rushed in his words, now being interrupted by the woman, who seemed to be raising her voice.<br/><br/>“It was centuries ago! When there were -more- of us! I know what I said, but I cannot speak of myself as a higher being than him. If he grows up, becomes a full-grown dragon, I’ll stand no chance. His fate is sealed. If we do not prevent it, he won’t just be the end of me, but of everything.” she leaned down, kneeling down to the shopkeeper.<br/><br/>“The dragons of Cairmere made a deal with the Aspect of Corruption. Eventually, the aspect will know of his existence, and continue the deal he had with the ancient dragons of old. His mind will be destroyed - and his powers greatly increase.” she rose up, pulling down her hood and revealing a young female face, with thing brown hair running down to her shoulders. A light-blue emblem sat upon her forehead, with a pair of small wings, and swords crossing over them.<br/><br/>“There only so much us of Nellewair are able to do. I do not know the ways of my ancestors - the dragons of Nellewair - but I know enough about those of Cairmere. Unless there are more dragons hiding like me, hidden in your society-… The man you work for, the one who fights against all dragons - he cannot know of me. He does not realize that you cannot simply hunt a dragon. You -need- me. We both do.”<br/><br/>She paused again, the shopkeeper nodding several times at her. She spun around, facing the outdoors again.<br/><br/>“I pray that we won’t be too late.”<br/><br/><i> A few years later, back at the farm. </i><br/><br/>A series of tables were lined up, almost like a little airstrip. It was a clear day, the animals walking happily outside. The farm was left to Grace and the dragon, as Grace’s father was out to some farming convention.<br/>By the end of the tables, the dragon stood ready. His body had grown - quicker than a normal animal, but he was still years away from being fully grown. Over the year, he had been attempted to be trained. He was almost capable of even saying a word or two. It was more a mix of a roar, and the actual word; rather than a proper pronunciation.<br/><br/>“Morghnm!” the dragon blurted out, wagging his tail happily around. He even jumped in his place, before starting to run quickly over the line of outdoor tables. Almost stumbling along the way, soon being by the end of the tables, he attempted to take off. He jumped off, spreading his fairly small wings out.<br/><br/>For a short second, it seemed like he was going to actually fly, but after not flapping his wings even once, he fell unto the ground again with a loud thud, growling in annoyance at his failed attempt."

Like, a couple of years, or what?<br/><br/>EDIT: So... I started working on the post, and decided to introduce another character. Also the post will be quite long, as I took the opportunity of doing some background on the dragons. :3 Hope you're fine with it! My idea was like;<br/><br/>She'd be a dragon as well, but been hiding from anyone interested in killing dragons, and be an acquaintance of the shopkeeper, wanting to prevent any disaster Archillius might cause in the future, being able to assist the shopkeeper in tracking down Archillius and Grace - since she'd know of the whole fate of the him. While the organization that the shopkeeper works for, wants to eliminate all dragons - good or evil.<br/>If you wanted to, you could take control of her later, when she was present again. If you don't like it, we won't do it :3"

The first thing you notice is the sand. Not a common feature in the land you were accustomed to, you are most familiar with it as a feature near bodies of water.<br/><br/>Next, you feel the heavy iron manacles on your wrists and ankles. They seem to throb in time with your pulse, and feel oddly warm against your skin.<br/><br/>Finally, you hear the muffled sound of stomping feet, a roaring crowd, and a low rumbling beat of drums, all of which seem as though they are coming from a great distance away.<br/><br/>As you examine your surroundings further, you see that you are in a sandstone cave, which has been repurposed into a cell. Slightly green-colored metal bars keep you within the cave.<br/><br/>There are six other sleeping forms in the cell with you. All of you wear simple rough spun tunics and breeches, and leather sandals.<br/><br/>What do you do now?"

A single torch glows softly there, and another outside the prison cell, just a hair too far for anybody on his side of the bars to reach. one other tunnel leads away to the left of the cell for an unknown distance, no light escapes it and Ezekiel would not be able to get the right angle to see very far down it from within the bars. No guard keeps watch over the prisoners but stranger still there doesn't seem to be any conceivable break in the bars that might indicate some kind of door.<br/><br/>The sound of rattling chains forces Ezekiel’s attention back inside the prison cell. Two of the other prisoners have come to.<br/><br/>“Ugh… who are you” says a large figure with a rough voice,the movement of his lips hidden behind his thick beard<br/><br/>“I am called Ezekiel. I am a prisoner here, much like yourself.”<br/><br/>“where is here?” As he speaks the man rises to his full height, pausing only momentarily when his massive arms are caught by the chain connecting his wrists to his ankles. oddly, his chains are only half as thick as Ezekiel’s though his head comes within mere inches of the ceiling that Ezekiel couldn't reach with hands unbound. A giant of a man.<br/><br/>“Obviously a prison of some sort, all i can smell is piss and shit, but if i had to speculate…” Ezekiel glances over his shoulder for dramatic effect, but quickly returns his attention to the bearded mountain in front of him. “judging by the unusually high traffic of footprints in the corridor and the sound of the euphoric mob of inebriates accompanied by theatrical war drumming I’d say we’re the entertainment in some sort of fight-to-the-death arena.”"

Only a portion of the truth, friend."" Comes a voice from the darkness.<br/><br/>Shuffling forward, a gaunt, pale-skinned humanoid looks you in the eyes. He has dark, sleepless-looking eyes, thin, pale lips, and slightly pointed ears. You think that he may be a half-elf, although he is considerably taller than any you have known.<br/><br/>""I've been here for far too long, friend. Never doing well enough to be crowned champion, never poorly enough to earn death.

""alright old one... i have no reason to trust you, but it is not as thought i have many options. I'll hear what you have to say, that is all i can promise.""<br/><br/>""what secrets do you know old one?"" the thunderous voice of the giant man vibrates through the stone. he seems friendly but far to incompetent to be of any real use.<br/><br/>""shhh! shut your trap you enormous imbecile!"" the old man hisses ""we cannot trust anyone."" his eyes flash to the now stiring figures behind him."

It calls to mind the songs of insects on a summer afternoon, and wind chimes made of wood, or perhaps bone. However, the sound is quite suddenly cut off by an angry buzzing, akin to a hive of wasps.<br/><br/>At the sound, the other prisoners retreat to the rear wall of the cell, and all conversation stops. Even those that were sleeping rise with a start, and scoot away from the bars.<br/><br/>Several figures approach the bars. From your vantage point, you see five of them. Only one of them stands even close to your height, at about five and a half feet tall. It appears to be wearing a suit of reddish brown armor. You quickly discover that it is only the creature's chitinous exoskeleton. As it leans it's head towards the bars, you see that an ornate bronze helm adorns it's head, which cocks from side to side as it regards you. It wields a long javelin in it's hands, and gestures towards you with it.<br/><br/>Surprisingly, the next sounds that come from it are recognizable as the common tongue, although it's voice sounds dry and raspy.<br/><br/>""Greetings, hunter...

It is staggering to contemplate the scope of your own massive world, and yet you, as well as all other residents of the world, know better than to assume that it is the greatest thing in the universe. Not when there is a sister planet, clearly visible in the sky at any given time.</b></center><br/><img src=""http://img.wallpaperstock.net:81/binary-planets-wallpapers_36861_1366x768.jpg""/><br/><center><b>Knowing the insignificance of their own lives, your ancestors made great developments to gain immortality, in a certain sense. Magic, technology, civilization. All shape the world you inhabit, and all have led to even greater realizations of insignificance. And greater drive to excell. And so, the races of your world have proven themselves to be motivated by the knowledge of things greater than themselves. A trait shared by many, but not all. You should count yourself lucky to be one of those inspired to become more than they used to be. How will you prove yourself better than you once were?</b></center><br/><br/>This is a D&D based roleplay. Not necessarily dependent on dice rolls, but you should be familiar with the stats, in order to give you a better idea of what sort of challenges your character will face. For example, if your character has a strength rating of 18 (which would make them far stronger than their NPC peers) and a goblin has a strength rating of 11 (which is still better than the average score of the typical commoner), your character should pretty easily overpower one.<br/><br/>Now, I won't bog you down in rules, but don't expect your character to waltz through a crowd of trolls in the nude, casually hacking and slashing until the horde lays dead (ish) at his feet. Odds are, you would quickly be torn apart and eaten in that situation.<br/><br/>But never fear, for death is not the end of the game. In fact, I often retire a character early, or intentionally sacrifice them at the most badass moment, just so I can come up with another one.<br/><br/>Anyway, you've already got your character. I'll go ahead and put our guys up for reference here, then get the IC up and going. Any pertinent stats (monster abilities, HP, etc.) will be posted at the bottom of the post that begins the encounter, and updated throughout, so you know when, and if, you have won.<br/><br/>Here is the skeleton for any future characters you may need (or want) to make.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.<br/><br/>Name: Favored Enemy (Animal)<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: At 1st level, a ranger may select a type of creature from among those given on Table: Ranger Favored Enemies. The ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against creatures of this type.<br/><br/>Granted Feats<br/>Name: Alternate Form (Su)<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: Werewolf<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: A werewolf can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a wolf. STR +2, DEX +4, CON +4 in animal or hybrid form.<br/><br/>Name: Armor Proficiency (Light)<br/>Feat Type: General<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: Light Armor Proficiency<br/>Description: When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, the armor check penalty for that armor applies only to Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Sleight of Hand, and Tumble checks.<br/><br/>Name: Curse of Lycanthropy (Su)<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: Any humanoid or giant hit by a werewolf’s bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy.<br/><br/>Name: Low-Light Vision<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: A creature with low-light vision can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of shadowy illumination. It retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to her as a source of light.<br/><br/>Name: Martial Weapon Proficiency (All)<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: All Martial Weapons Proficiency<br/>Description: You make attack rolls with the selected weapon normally.<br/><br/>Name: Scent<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: This extraordinary special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.<br/>The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range.<br/>When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent.<br/>Whenever the creature comes within 5 feet of the source, the creature pinpoints the source’s location.<br/>A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.<br/>Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail for air-breathing creatures. Water-breathing creatures that have the scent ability, however, can use it in the water easily.<br/>False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base Survival DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.<br/><br/>Name: Shield Proficiency<br/>Feat Type: General<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: Normal Shield Proficiency<br/>Description: You can use a shield and take only the standard penalties.<br/><br/>Name: Simple Weapon Proficiency<br/>Feat Type: General<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No prerequisites<br/>Effects: All Simple Weapons Proficiency<br/>Description: You make attack rolls with simple weapons normally.<br/><br/>Name: Werewolf Skills<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: Werewolf<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: A werewolf in hybrid or wolf form gains a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.<br/><br/>Name: Track<br/>Feat Type: General<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: To find tracks or to follow them for 1 mile requires a successful Survival check. You must make another Survival check every time the tracks become difficult to follow.<br/>You move at half your normal speed (or at your normal speed with a –5 penalty on the check, or at up to twice your normal speed with a –20 penalty on the check). The DC depends on the surface and the prevailing conditions, as given on the table below:<br/>Surface	Survival DC<br/>Very soft ground	 5<br/>Firm ground	 15<br/>Soft ground	 10<br/>Hard ground	 20<br/>Very Soft Ground<br/>Any surface (fresh snow, thick dust, wet mud) that holds deep, clear impressions of footprints.<br/>Soft Ground<br/>Any surface soft enough to yield to pressure, but firmer than wet mud or fresh snow, in which a creature leaves frequent but shallow footprints.<br/>Firm Ground<br/>Most normal outdoor surfaces (such as lawns, fields, woods, and the like) or exceptionally soft or dirty indoor surfaces (thick rugs and very dirty or dusty floors). The creature might leave some traces (broken branches or tufts of hair), but it leaves only occasional or partial footprints.<br/>Hard Ground<br/>Any surface that doesn’t hold footprints at all, such as bare rock or an indoor floor. Most streambeds fall into this category, since any footprints left behind are obscured or washed away. The creature leaves only traces (scuff marks or displaced pebbles).<br/>Several modifiers may apply to the Survival check, as given on the table below.<br/>Condition	Survival<br/>DC Modifier<br/>Every three creatures in the group being tracked	 –1<br/>Size of creature or creatures being tracked:1	<br/>Fine	 +8<br/>Diminutive	 +4<br/>Tiny	 +2<br/>Small	 +1<br/>Medium	 +0<br/>Large	 –1<br/>Huge	 –2<br/>Gargantuan	 –4<br/>Colossal	 –8<br/>Every 24 hours since the trail was made	 +1<br/>Every hour of rain since the trail was made	 +1<br/>Fresh snow cover since the trail was made	 +10<br/>Poor visibility:2	<br/>Overcast or moonless night	 +6<br/>Moonlight	 +3<br/>Fog or precipitation	 +3<br/>Tracked party hides trail (and moves at half speed)	 +5<br/>For a group of mixed sizes, apply only the modifier for the largest size category.<br/>Apply only the largest modifier from this category.<br/>If you fail a Survival check, you can retry after 1 hour (outdoors) or 10 minutes (indoors) of searching.<br/><br/>Name: Trip (Ex)<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: A werewolf in animal form that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+2 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity.<br/>If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the werewolf.<br/><br/>Name: Wild Empathy (Ex)<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: No Prerequisites<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: A ranger can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.<br/>To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.<br/>The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.<br/><br/>Name: Wolf Empathy (Ex)<br/>Feat Type: Special<br/>Take Multiple Times: No<br/>Prerequisites: Werewolf<br/>Effects: No Implemented Effects<br/>Description: Communicate with wolves and dire wolves, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against wolves and dire wolves.

His frame, corded and thick with muscles, the faint blue glow illuminating his body, General Freedom appeared every part of a super hero. Both arms extended, the energized fists curled, the slight arch in the back, the left leg bent at the knee, the right leg extended towards the ground, the toes pointed.<br/><br/>The scene seemed surreal, the ghastly frog being hopped away from the blast, but it was the sudden explosive emergence of prisms that caused the costumed avenger to narrow his eyes. The smirk on his lips slowly faded away as he watched the first prism intercept the ZPE blast and refracted the energy burst towards a second, then a third. The energy seemed to accelerate with each transfer, until it vanished into a hole beneath the toad.<br/><br/>“What in the blue hell is he doing?” Whispered the hero as he rotated his body slightly, gaining a better vantage point, hoping to figure out the plan of the being below him. After a moment a loud eruption of water soaked land beneath General Freedom gave answer to the question. The ZPE refracted in an amplifying relay underground, until it was focused towards the blue and white clad man. With startling ease, the energies rocketed skyward as the plume of water and debris streamed hundreds of feet, trailing behind the ZPE, casting a tremendous shower that covered an area of nearly three-hundred feet.<br/><br/>Instinctively General Freedom turned his body to lessen the actual area the energy would strike. And strike it did, the beam of scintillating energy slammed into the hero where it had originated from. Bending his legs upwards, twisting to offer the beam of energy a small a surface to impact upon as possible, the hero held his breath and wait for the inevitable collision of immovable object and irresistible force. Kinetic force slammed into the blue and white clad man, launching him skyward at an incredible rate. The air expelled from his lungs in a loud “Wooph” as General Freedom rolled with the hammering blow.<br/><br/>It was a good plan, and it had done what the samurai-frog had wanted, he redirected the beam back at General Freedom. However even as the beam struck the hero and forced him upward, it had not quite the effect hoped for. Even as the energy was refracted from prism to prism, there was a slight change to the frequency of the wave pattern. The triangular watery objects started a process in which ZPE was scattered by a volume of variant refractive index, such as a density fluctuation caused by the various sized prisms the frog-being had created for his plan. The initial ones were smaller transferring the energies to the larger until it emerged and struck the hero.<br/><br/>The mistake the being had made when constructing prisms to reflect the energy back was to use triangular prisms. Triangular prisms are used to disperse light, which is to break light up into its spectral components. This dispersion occurs because the angle of refraction is dependent on the refractive index, which in turn is dependent on the wavelength of the energy. Although the refractive index is dependent on the wavelength in every material, some materials have much more powerful wavelength dependence (are much more dispersive) than others, water being a greater dispersive medium. Since all matter has a wave-like nature, the wavelength of the ZPE was inversely proportional to the momentum of the initial energy burst, and thus directly proportional to the kinetic energy.<br/><br/>This series of continual dispersion resulted in a weaker kinetic impact than had been expected. What had ultimately occurred was a Doppler shift. The blue energy slowed down exponentially with each transfer to another prism, so that the final burst that struck General Freedom was enough to cause him pain as the kinetic detonation slammed into his body, but not enough to kill him, but it lifted him high into the air, and caused the hero to black out for a few seconds.<br/><br/>Waking as the rushing air flowed past his masked face; General Freedom shook his head and cleared it. Realizing he was falling at terminal velocity, the hero ignited his ZPE and rocketed downward. The multiple sonic booms echoed behind the racing hero as he accelerated, until he reached his maximum speed. The blue and white streak adjusted his flight as he neared the earth and aimed straight for the frog-being. Even as he approached the hydro-mancer, he knew the speed was incredible, that the collision would be intense as he cocked back his right fist, crackling with ZPE.<br/><br/>Racing in at roughly six-feet or so off the ground the hero slammed into the ghastly toad, as he did so the fist raced forward, backed by the momentum of the flight straight for the chin. At this speed, the super-human strength of General Freedom would be overwhelming. The power of the punch, coupled with the massive toque created by the Mach speed would create a devastating impact that would be difficult to withstand, even for a demon-frog. Even if the fist missed, the hero and the frog would collide, their bodies smashing together. The weight and muscle of the hero, propelled at these speeds would surely cause the toad like creature some measure of damage, if not kill him outright, he would at the very least be knocked out."
1992,Alternate Earth- NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17991-alternate-earth-nmv,['Arena'],2014-03-19 13:43:00,MelonHead,"The city seemed to hold its breath, though far away a fight raged between two of its powerful inhabitants, it seemed to know something was coming. It started out as a bright blue spark on the horizon, an unnerving and whistling sound somewhat like the V-1 rockets of WW2, falling upon London. This missile however was capable of far… far worse.<br/><br/>It was a quiet day in downtown, though the sun was out and a number of people had elected to leave work early and have a pleasant picnic in the local park. The birds were singing, and the people were whimsical, forgetting the troubles of every-day life on a planet very much like Earth.<br/><br/>Then, Fury hit the ground.<br/><br/>The park erupted, as the ground itself split under his bulk and the force of energy unleashed as he ensured his survival, after dropping from space. He left a crater twenty foot wide and ten foot deep, and the people’s alarmed curiosity (for a world with superheroes were more accustomed to such events.) suddenly turned to alarm, as the Fireen floated serenely from the crater and hovered above them. His intent was still unclear, though it was hard to imagine the harshly faced, bulky Fireen, was anything but a villain, even though he looked remarkably similar to them. His face glowed blue with veins of energy, like scars, and his hands bunched into fists. He looked equipped for war, in armour that looked like nothing the people had seen. They backed away from him, turning the children from the park, then their alarm grew as two figures appeared at his side, though grounded, each to one edge of the crater. They were blue skinned humanoid males, with spears that seemed to glow at the blade.<br/><br/>“Stop this dramatic ballshit. We’re here for the General, calm yourself down Fireen.”<br/><br/>Fury stared at his reprimander, the armed Nas’Gaduran to his right. After a long, dangerously quiet moment, he looked back at the crowd.<br/><br/>“These people are weak, it is pitiful the Angar-Ryllan want one of their number removed as a threat.”<br/><br/>“You know nothing, and remember we’re supposed to be recruiting him, you make it sound like we’re here to kill him.”<br/><br/>The Fireen continued to stare at the crowd as the solder continued to speak.<br/><br/>“We know he’s in the city, any idea how we’re supposed to find him?”<br/><br/>“Yes.” Fury replied, his voice cold. He spread his hands wide, and they grew bright, energy discs forming beneath each palm. The crowd backed away further. His grin was feral as he launched them, like blades, they cut through the innocent people in the park as if they were nothing but paper. Blood splashed the grass, and the screaming began.<br/><br/>“You fool.” The stony guard shouted. His fellow simply shrugged. “It will draw him out, I suppose, doubt he’ll be all too happy about it though.” The Fireen remained silent as he continued his grisly work, until every human around him was dead or dying.<br/><br/>“Come to me, little hero!” He roared out his challenge, his face etched with madness."
1993,Alternate Earth- NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17991-alternate-earth-nmv,['Arena'],2014-03-20 06:10:00,Skallagrim,"General Freedom managed to stand on wobbly knees as he glanced about the destruction wrought by the fight that took place. The emergency personnel working to save those they could, the horror at the dismembered and dissected police officer by that freaky frog. With a snarl, General Freedom stood straight and pushed away from the crumpled from of the Horn Toad, several EMT’s rushed to him.<b>""I'm fine, thanks. Let's make sure that everyone else is safe shall we?""</b><br/><br/>Taking a step towards the carnage of their fight, General Freedom was bathed in a blue glow that illuminated the area around him brightly. As the hero took his second step he felt, as did everyone in the park, a sudden jolt, then a rolling wave motion that lasted for a few seconds.<br/><br/><b>""Earthquake!""</b>General Freedom shouted as he increased his energy levels to help those here if a chasm should open. However, it wasn't the earthquake that grabbed the attention of those bewildered by the sudden event. It was the eruption from the ground around an explosive spray of dirt, followed by a glowing ball of light. Within the light was a man…a blue glowing man.<br/><br/>It was a shock to say the least; especially since two other figures rose from the crater besides the floating man. Several of the police officers started running towards the mound, weapons draw, the commander shouting<i> ‘Freeze! Whoever you are stop right there, don’t move! DON”T MOVE!”</i><br/><br/>General Freedom rose in the air, his eyes focused on the creatures, more importantly he focused on the hovering individual. And with horror watched as innocent civilians seemingly were cut in two by shimmering discs. Police officers fired their weapons to no effect, some tried to shield the civilians however it was in vain. One officer scooping up two children, running as fast as his legs could carry him towards a police vehicle, however he wasn’t fast enough.<br/><br/>Clenching his teeth General Freedom felt the ZPE wash over him in a tremendous wave as his sinews flexed, his hands balled into mallets. Then he heard it.<br/><br/><i><b>“Come to me, little hero!”</b></i><br/><br/><b>“Alright bunky, you want me, you got me.”</b>The hero murmured as he launched himself skyward in tremendous streak of blue and white.Rocketing high the blue clad hero peered down at the carnage below him; whoever they were, they certainly had no qualms about murder. Tapping his microphone, he waved off the news and police helicopters.<br/><br/>The way the man in the bubble killed told General Freedom that this was someone who viewed all life as nothing more than an annoyance. Something to be used and disposed of, the worst kind of villain.<br/><br/>Dropping down he slowed until he hovered a few scant feet above the ruptured earth, his eyes focused squarely on the man who had killed, the other two, odd blue-skinned beings with weapons that reminded him of something a medieval knight would use. Something told him that they were not from Earth, not by a long shot. Sheathed in the blue of the ZPE, his fists clenched, General Freedom spoke in a low tone.<br/><br/><b>“You have one minute bub, then it’s gonna get ugly.”</b>"
1994,Alternate Earth- NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/17991-alternate-earth-nmv,['Arena'],2014-03-20 15:21:00,MelonHead,"He sensed his presence before he could see him. The Fireen awaited the arrival of the ‘superhero’ with a certain dangerous excitement, tired of killing every human around him; a real fight was all he wanted. The Hero flew close, so close that Fury almost leapt straight at the man he regarded as a weak intrusion on his true goal.<br/><br/>“One minute, huh?” Fury bristled, energy gathering in his hands.<br/><br/>The more reserved Nas’Gaduran on his left, and arguably the smartest member of the group, rose his hand palm forward in a peaceful gesture to the General.<br/><br/>“Stop Fireen, blow this and you’ll have the Angar-Rylla to deal with, you’re not that tough.” He said, calming Fury enough that he allowed the energy he had gathered to dissipate. The Fireen distracted himself with a casual observation of the ruined park around him, trees uprooted and cut down by energy discs, people’s dismembered and bloody corpses everywhere the eye could see. It wasn’t enough.<br/><br/>“Now, General Freedom, I’m sure you’re wondering why we’re here killing all these people. That wasn’t our initial intention, but we have this… angry individual here, who has a lot of problems. Regardless, it got our point across plenty well; we are members of the Angar-Rylla, a powerful space faring nation which has already conquered countless solar systems and planets just like this one. We have come to offer you a kind invitation to join our prestigious empire.”<br/><br/>“Of course, you refuse! I hear you shout, looking at the destruction all around you. Well, this destruction is but a taste of that which will be wrought should you choose to oppose us. Therefore, I’ll put this in simple terms. Join us, or the planet burns.” The Nas’Gaduran looked slightly amused, and settled into his earlier stance. “I’ll give you the rest of your minute to consider your answer.”<br/><br/>Fury just looked as angry as ever, irritated that he had been sent to detain such a weak-willed being rather than being at the forefront in the war to attain their ultimate goal. Of course, their goals were not quite the same; Fury just wanted someone’s head."

General Freedom stared a moment, his voice measured, his emotions dampened to a grave frost,<b> “You killed…murdered these people and then ask that this planet submit to your empire? Only the people of this world can answer that question, but I know one thing if you attack this world, you will have a fight on your hands.”</b><br/><br/>The shimmering blue ZPE energies that coated the muscled frame brightened, racing along the thick sinews of arms and legs, across the broad chest then focusing around massive fists. A simple display of light, for what he had in mind he didn't need the power of the ZPE.<br/><br/><b>“Alright bunky, you had your piece and my answer…” </b>With that, one of the mightiest heroes of alternate earth brought his hands together in a tremendous clap, causing a concussive wave of energy to expand out and away from him.<br/><br/>Unsure of the exact nature of the aliens, General Freedom needed to buy time; hopefully the concussive force from his clap would stagger or even knock them down. After his explosive clap the blue and white clad hero, began pumping the ZPE that coursed through his body, he felt would need that power, and probably soon.<br/><br/>He had to get them away from the city, a fight between he and the invaders would cause a great deal of destruction, and they already have shown that human life means little to them. No this fight had to happen where the impact of their power would have little effect on people.<br/><br/>Launching himself backward General Freedom knew that the bubbled Fireen, that is what the blue guy had called him, a Fireen, most likely would be able to follow him with ease. That was fine; he was the jabroni that he wanted to get his hands on the most.<br/><br/><b>“Come on, you want some of America’s favorite son? Come get it.”</b>"

He was buffeted by the attack, but far from injured as his shield withstood the force of the General’s clapping hands. He landed behind his crater on the ground, right foot setting into the grass and dirt to bring him to a quick halt.<br/><br/>“It would seem like I get to kill you after all.” Fury called, with obvious delight. “When you’re dead this world will burn, the Angar-Rylla think nothing of glassing a planet as a message.” The Hero backed off, though Fury wasn’t mad enough to think he was scared, the Fireen hadn’t even begun quite yet.<br/><br/>“Right then, let’s get started.” Fury bounced off the ground and propelled himself forward with energy, his body at a twenty five degree angle from the ground, sensing his opponent manifesting some sort of energy attack the Fireen had never seen before, he launched two energy discs from each hand as he barrelled towards his foe. They curved through the air and crossed paths, each darting towards the hero in mid-air from either side to give him something to think about. Meanwhile, Fury powered forward, and if his opponent remained floating, he would fly underneath his legs and grab hold of his feet with both hands, throwing him towards the ground with all his energy enhanced strength."

In fact, the alien was bouncing into action, and based on is previous actions towards civilians, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill General Freedom.<br/><br/>However while the blue and white clad hero ramped up his ZPE, he also pondered what the alien had said,<i> “…we want you, not the planet”</i>Why did they want him? That would be a question he would have to ask the aliens once he an opportunity to do so.<br/><br/>Right now the erstwhile hero had other things to worry about, two shimmering energy disks erupted towards him, similar to the ones that cut down the citizens of the city who had spent the day in the park.<br/><br/>They hurled at him with amazing speed, a snarl escaped his lips as the General narrowed his eyes, twisting to avoid one of the disk he felt the impact of the second along his flank, knocking him up and back. As he shook his head, the second disk slammed into him with enough force to cause him to grunt as a sharp pain raced along his ribs.<br/><br/>Dropping to the ground, General Freedom slammed a fist deep and pulled up a chunk of the parkland, hurling it at the Fireen. The ZPE swirled around General Freedom, appearing as a series of rapid streaks of light racing across his body, setting off a soft glow.<br/><br/>Whoever this Fireen was, he wasn’t anyone to take lightly. If the disks were a simple and hurried attack, they had incredible power, and the even though they bruised him, they didn’t do anything serious, at least not this time.<br/><br/><b>“Glass the planet? What a waste. Probably what happened to your planet huh ugly? You got uppity to your purple friends and they slapped you down like the rabid animal you are.”</b>"

He hovered about ten feet from the surface and thirty meters from his foe, and clearly saw General Freedom’s fist slam into the parkland itself with impressive strength, pulling out and launching the debris directly at the Fireen.<br/><br/>Fury grunted with exertion as he raised his right hand to catch the debris in mid-air with energy, surrounding the projectile with a blue glow. It left him vulnerable, as it took a few moments to slow down, but it was not quite obvious what he was doing and the General decided to use his time to attempt to taunt the Fireen.<br/><br/>Fury’s eyes narrowed in anger, as the General guessed the fate of his planet by chance, but not the true cause.<br/><br/>“My people went quick.” Fury shouted at the top of his lungs, floating backwards slowly and pulling the debris with him, when it was almost at his right hand he took stock of the General’s position, wherever it may be. “Yours will burn!” Fury yelled, and simultaneously launched his projectile at the hero, with a massive wave of kinetic force propelling it with deadly intention."

Charging his own energy, feeling the ZPE race through his system, feeling it surge as he prepared to unleash a burst of energy, when suddenly his eye caught movement.<br/><br/>By then it was too late as a tremendous plasma burst, followed by another and another slammed into his body. The shimmering blue ZPE field surrounding him rippled as water when a rock is tossed into it. The first burst surprised him, the second, third and fourth made him angry.<br/><br/>Rising into the air he had taken his eyes off the Fireen, and he paid for it as the debris that was caught and sent back, crashed into him at a tremendous rate. The force that hit him was equal to a freight train moving at 180 miles per hour, more than enough to cause the General to grunt as he found himself flying backward, head over heels. A few hundred meters later, one of Alternate Earth’s mightiest heroes crashed into a retaining wall for the elevated gardens.<br/><br/>The force of the impact, coupled with the mass of the hero brought nearly 20 tons of material down on top of the man known as General Freedom. As the dust settled, nothing moved. Yet under the tons of rubble and dirt, a blue glow slowly intensified.<br/><br/>The Nas’Gaduran knights moved forward, one jumping into the air where his thrusters elevated him and rushed him forward a short distance. The other scampered by the floating Fireen, the energy surging along the length of his weapon, the crackling of the plasma as it hovered in a containment field on the tip, ready to be unleashed glowed angrily."

He did none of those things, because even in his grief and rage filled mind he had become aware of what he was fighting. He had to deal with the Hero, or he would never be able to kill Skallagrim. Never be able to take his revenge.<br/><br/>The knights approached the rubble in the distance, with their weapons primed, one significantly further away than the other. Fury floated down to the ground and watched them from afar. The only noticeable sign of fatigue was a slight tightness in his face, but as he walked slowly across the park towards the fallen hero the grass withered and died at his feet. Covering half the distance, he clasped his right hand on one of the few trees still intact, and it too began to decay, energy leaking from its fairly sizable structure and into the leach-like Fireen at its base. His face glowed with more intensity, as the energy restored him, while his left hand channelled his sizable stores into a spear-like structure, when the Hero came, he would be ready."

Their weapons at the ready, the man they had come to collect was much stronger, much more powerful than they expected.<br/><br/>Lord Deacon Amaash’dal gripped his poleaxe tightly, his eyes staring at the rubble pile before him. With a quick snap of a wrist, he lowered the heavy visor and began conducting a series of energy and aural checks to see if the man known as General Freedom still lived.<br/><br/>He didn’t have to wait long as the tons of dirt and rock shifted slightly, then with a tremendous burst of blue energy a form rocketed skyward in a show of debris that rose several hundred feet before cascading down upon the aliens below.<br/><br/>Both knights instinctively ducked as the rain of earth fell around them, the one hovering dropped to the ground and erected an energy shield over his head to protect him. The other used his boosters to jump high, only to be hit by a ton of concrete retaining wall and knocked back to the earth.<br/><br/>Wrapped in the shimmering blue of the ZPE, General Freedom raced up to 30,000 feet in the space of a breath or two. A grimace on his face, he had underestimated the aliens and nearly paid for it. He certainly could not let a battle occur between them in the city, millions of people could be in danger if he could not lure them away.<br/><br/>Spreading his arms out he dropped in an Immelmann, his hands slowly coming before him, so that his massive fist, awash in ZPE pointed at the aliens below, as he closed to 15,000 feet he unleashed two bursts of energy. One directed towards the knights and the other towards the glowing Fireen.<br/><br/>The first burst impacted the ground between the two knights with the equivalent force of 50 tons of tnt, knock both up and back out of a crater nearly 100 feet around and 20 feet deep.<br/><br/>The second burst of energy raced towards the Fireen, but General freedom didn't’ wait to see the results he banked into a turn a thousand feet off the ground, with such force the air rend behind him as a sonic boom erupted in his wake. As he streaked over the ground, General Freedom raced over the freeway, and with timing and luck grabbed a heavy I-beam off a truck hauling them to a construction site.<br/><br/>The heavy steel beam weighing in a neat 2.5 tons would make a nice little kinetic impactor. Pulling up and around again, General Freedom sought his targets, the I-beam gripped in his right hand mid-way along its 20-foot length."

The Nas’Gaduran were both incapacitated in very different ways by the rubble, but Fury himself was far from the epic-centre of the heroes explosive escape from the debris. He tracked his energy, as it rocketed high into the air above and caught the downward motion long before he could see it, with its accompanying ZPE blasts.<br/><br/>The Nas’Gaduran’s were fully out of action when the blast hit, obliterating the earth with an explosive eruption of unbridled force. Their singed bodies were thrown far from the park, and if they survived was uncertain, all Fury knew was that their energy levels were shot.<br/><br/>However, he had foresight to his credit, and all that abundant energy just sitting around in the form of a spear in his left hand, he formed a shield with it and blasted himself backwards towards the outskirts of the park. When the attack came, the earth split and the explosion washed over him, cracking his shield and sending him flying backwards into a police car, which crumpled around him like it was made of cardboard. The Fireen slumped and fell to the ground on one knee, shaking his head to clear it as his eyes burned with energy. He stood, ripping a door from the police-car with his left hand and blasting away the mortals firing pointlessly at him with a negligent wave of energy.<br/><br/>""Bastard."" Fury cursed, climbing atop the car with his shield in hand, he sought out his foe with eyes alone. His gaze settled on the Hero some distance away, a metal beam in his hands..."

An expansive vapor cone speed behind the hero as he broke the sound barrier, then a explosive clap as the air rend around him as reached his maximum speed.<br/><br/>Gritting his teeth, the stalwart hero of alternate earth pulled up in a body compressing high-g move, as he did so he released the metal I-beam in a toss-bombing technique. The I-beam now turned into a kinetic energy penetrator racing forward at the man standing on the car.<br/><br/>As General Freedom rocketed skyward, the tremendous explosion as the I-beam slammed into the area where the police car and alien were. Traveling at a little over 1,700 miles per hour the force of the impact was frightening as a white and light gray mushroom cloud erupted, rising nearly a half-mile in the air as the two-ton object crashed into the earth creating a massive 500 foot crater.<br/><br/>Banking slowly and into a lazy descent, General Freedom slowed to barely a crawl. The settling dust cloud from the concussive discharge made it difficult to see anything. Ramping up his ZPE to create a shimmering light to help cut through the dust, the blue clad hero moved slowly into the dust, scanning for any signs of life.<br/><br/><b>“Ok tough guy, let’s see if you managed to survive that.”</b>General Freedom quipped as he continued to float further through the debris cloud looking for any sign of his opponent."

Fury raised his impromptu shield, and it began to glow. The Hero raced forward, they both radiated power in their respective ways, Fury looked on as he realised what was about to happen.<br/><br/>“Shi-“ The metal-beam raced towards him at high speed, and even though he had moved a little out of its way and tilted his shield to bounce the projectile away it collided with the earth and ripped it asunder. Mother Earth was having the crap kicked out of her today. The cacophony of noise and the dust shot skyward by the huge explosive impact of the bar launched at such a high speed rang throughout the city. To the sounds of sirens and alarms and bullets and careering cars it was as if those close to the epic-centre were in the eye of a storm.<br/><br/>To Fury, who had found himself collapsed on one of the huge sloping sides of the crater, completely obscured by dust, there was an eerie silence. His ear-drums had ruptured from the force, despite his shielding, and were only slowly being repaired by his dwindling supply of energy. His Antireen mail was split and cracked in multiple places, a deadly reminder of how much force had penetrated his shielding. Lacerations caused blood to drop through the ruptures in his suit, and at least one of his ribs were broken if the pain was anything to judge by. Still clutched tight in his left hand was a door handle, which he discarded with a flick of his hand realising in his weakened state his outward energy signature was barely anything. He turned off his belly with a grunt, sitting against the side of the crater and looking through the dust towards the bottom of the new Grand Canyon the Hero had made in the city centre. General Freedom must have one hell of a lawyer, the Old Fury thought, before his eyes lit again with the fiery blue of madness.<br/><br/>High above, General Freedom sought his foe in the dust cloud, revealing his position to the energy sensitive Fireen below. Fury expected his advantage to only last a short while, as his body once more infused itself with its blue powerful aura. Judging accurately, he allowed his weight to fall forward and as it seemed like he was about to dive off the crater wall and down into the depths, he pushed off at the last second like a swimmer at the pool’s edge. Flight kicked in soon after, and he reached almost 200mph as he burst from the dust cloud around General Freedom, his right arm forward and his shoulder aimed at the American’s left hip, he hoped to tackle him up and straight into the tall skyscraper behind him, using his weight and the force of his tackle to slam him through the wall, while he stole some much required energy."

Staring at the crater that lay before him, the cloud of smoke and dust obscuring his vision of what lay around him.<br/><br/>Drifting lower the hero grimaced as he saw the crumbled remains of a police cruiser, the black and white paint job barely recognizable on the hunk of compressed metal. The cloying dust filled his mouth forcing him to spit to his right, taking his eyes away from the danger that raced up from below.<br/><br/>When the alien stuck him, it was a picture perfect tackle. With a tremendous<b>"" OOOF…</b>one of the mightiest heroes on alternate earth felt the air leave his body as his teeth snapped together while his jaws clenched. A huge explosion of air erupted form his body as he expelled the oxygen, his body whipping in half as the shoulder of the Fireen slammed into his oblique muscle on the left side.<br/><br/>They raced up and through a skyscraper, glass and office furnishing crushed and shatter in their flight through the building. Frightened workers ducking and covering as the two men barreled through the once neatly organized and efficient office space. Crashing through the other side by the inertia of their momentum, General Freedom felt the concrete and steel structure of another building against his back before it yield to the force exerted against it.<br/><br/>Shaking the cobwebs free, the blue and white clad man felt strange, odd, something was happening and the cause of it was undoubtedly the man clenching his waist. Inhaling deeply as they tumbled along the floor of the second office building, General Freedom raised and dropped his elbow on the head and neck of the man who tackled him with as much force as he could muster.<br/><br/>All the while, the blazing ZPE that surrounded him flickered and flared as it was being drained from its host."

His ears popped painfully as the power healed them, finally allowing him to hear the screams and cracking of masonry and glass as he carried forward with all his power, exiting the first building and slowing on entering the second. He threw his weight forward, attempting to drive the hero into the ground where he could gain an advantage as the powerful human’s energy was drained. Unfortunately, all he received for his trouble was the General’s elbow driving down towards him like a freight train, and even though he pulled away at the last moment he was still forced to let go of his foe as the blow slammed into the top of his skull, which he had directed into the attack to reduce the potential damage. It still hurt, a lot, and he span away from the General and ploughed through four cubicles on the opposite side of the room. When he finally stopped he jumped to his feet with the ease and skill of a warrior, blue energy jumping to his hands like fire.<br/><br/>“You’re causing quite a mess.” He observed coldly, bringing attention to the fact that the Hero was doing a terrible job of protecting people thus-far. It was a cruel remark, considering the lack of option the Fireen had given him, but Fury expected he would still take it to heart. He had personal experience with pain and guilt for events one has no control over. He shook his head to clear the fuzziness and after-effects of his foe’s blow, and stared at him across the office floor."

In protest of this jarring entrance Sukoh let out a whining growl as he searched his surroundings. To his dismay the area was not quite so peaceful as he had hoped. A sizeable amount of destruction to the city and the occasional wounded or even dead individual. Maybe the entire multiverse was at war, this was starting to get suspicious.<br/><br/>With his right leg he pushed down on the ground, straining his muscles to heave himself up to his feet again. The bear looked into some of the holes, having to stand up to see a couple of them. Inside there were two men duking it out, the apparent source of this damage. Though he was frustrated at them for hurting people he had to figure out which one was the bad guy, why? 'Cause Sukoh's gonna beat'm'up. So the bear just sort of rested his head in the entrance, looking at them while they fight. The air smelled awful, whatever they were fighting with made it smell like ionized air and burnt flesh. ""Rrruurrpph."" The bear here, where nobody spoke animal tongue, attempted to speak to the two men. Letting out a deep and rumbling bark-like growl."

He almost half raised his hand and his muscles tensed, even as they looked at each other across the room. The Hero discovered he could drain his energy, and Fury was about to reply with a characteristically forceful reply…<br/><br/>Then, the most disturbing and nausea inducing sound permeated the air. Accompanied by a massive thump, the huge bear crashed into the ground outside, and Fury felt the sizable energy signature radiated by such bulk entering his field of battle. Expecting some new, deadly threat, he began to charge power in his hands like he were some huge lightning rod.<br/><br/>He did not grace the General with a reply when he questioned the allegiance of the new intruder, for Fury was just as baffled but he was unwilling to give his foe too much information, better to leave them all on even grounds. Noticing the General was readying himself, Fury pulled his right hand back ready to deliver a bone crunching punch.<br/><br/>Then, the giant bear head poked through the hole in the wall, and unleashed a guttural sound he could not even begin to understand.<br/><br/>“The fuck is that!” He couldn’t help cursing, before turning his head back in time to see the General bursting away with an energy technique like his own. Fury braced himself, letting the blast flow around him through sheer concentration, no easy feat considering the situation. The after-effects of the General’s propulsion method burned through three sets of cubicles to Fury’s left as it bounced off his shield. Despite failing to hurt him however, it served its purpose as the General was already in open-air by the time Fury was ready to pursue him, and he had a massive bear to contend with.<br/><br/>It hadn’t attacked him yet, but its presence was irritating. With a negligent flick, Fury sent an energy disc flying in the Bear’s general direction, finding it near impossible for him to miss such a large target with a fast-flying disc of energy. It was powerful enough to cut through a human body or even the trunk of a tree with little effort, he was interested to see what it could do to a giant Bear’s nose."

Turning around and spotting Sukoh peeking into the hole in the wall. Exhasperatingly exclaiming that somebody has got to be kidding him. Human expressions are weird to Sukoh. Afterwards he seemed to blast away with that energy that made the air stink, like he was using it to jump.<br/><br/>Yeah, these two were some kinda wizards. But if the one who was jumping away was 'America's Favorite Son' then is the other one a bad wizard? The other was rather quiet, that is, until he spotted Sukoh. Where he shouted ""The fuck is that!?"" Evidently not happy to see the head of something nearly thirty times his size sticking in through the window. Though his reaction was a bit cruel, throwing a disk of energy at Sukoh from his standing position. It had the same singing smell, and then Sukoh remembered that there were people dead down there.<br/><br/>He was attacking him! ""Grrffnarrr!"" Sukoh panicked, realizing real quickly that he had put himself in a rather compromising position. Pulling his head out wouldn't get him out of the way, just out of the hole. What to do!? Oh, right. The bear swung his head sideways, shattering the concrete wall by bashing his skull against it. Now, it didn't get him entirely out of the way, but it put the energy blade somewhere it wouldn't cut off his nose. It carved into his cheek, slicing upwards and under the bottom of his ear. Leaving a massive cut across the bear's face.<br/><br/>Now, with this pain suddenly filling his cheek he reeled backwards. Falling onto his bottom and crushing a car beneath his heft.

Settling into a half crouch, right leg back left shoulder forward, his muscles bunched and tenses with energy rocketing around his form. He was facing the region he saw the General fly off into, and was tracking his ZPE through the air, so he knew he could meet him. However, Fury noted his movement almost before the General was moving, and despite the significant speed with which the Hero of Earth moved Fury was able to answer his charge with one of his own.<br/><br/>The Fireen bounced forward and up at an angle, driving himself into the air and towards the General. Despite his arrogance, Fury had to admit that presently his foe was both stronger and faster than him, and so something more than brute force was required. Unfortunately, he was given less than adequate time to think of a solution, as he barrelled through the hastily thrown energy beam of the General in a less than satisfactory condition, the fiery heat of it shearing away half the armour on his right shoulder and breaking through his shield. He felt the burn, but Fury was not one to be halted by pain alone.<br/><br/>Therefore, the General slammed directly into him with a force equal to both of their respective speeds combined, something in excess of one thousand mph. Fury’s breath left him as energy leapt to strengthen his body, preventing it from being crushed by the titanic impact. Energy blasted in all directions haphazardly, blowing up most of the room and sending chairs and tables flying through every window.<br/><br/>Slammed back by the force of the Hero’s charge, but still locked in his tackle, Fury regained his composure enough to make the most of a terrible situation. The General had knocked him back as they flew through the air and out of the building itself, but if he intended to drop the Fireen or not was unimportant as Fury attempted to draw both his arms around the human’s body and tighten his grip to its maximum crushing potential. He clung beneath him, aiming to either break his ribs through sustained force, or to drain enough of his energy that he had to stop, giving Fury time to break free and make his own moves again."

It was more than evident that Sukoh would get hurt if he stuck his head back into the building that he was going to get hurt. So, instead of getting himself killed because two men are having a petty squable he occupied himself with their callous waste of human life. Sukoh leaned forward and planted himself on all fours again, he started shuffling about and sniffing at the various corpses and wounded in the area. It was not a pretty sight. Whichever one of them was evil, if not both of them, evidently didn't care at all for the lives of those around him.<br/><br/>The first body he found was actually a survivor, writhing in agony as his leg had been caught underneath the rubble from the building. This may have been Sukoh's fault, but he was unaware. With his nose he shoved the concrete slab away from him and poked at his wounded leg. It might not recover, but he could at least make it feel a little better. His enormous tongue slid out of his mouth and he licked the wound of the man. Freshly reborn his mouth was full of clean saliva, almost completely sterile. The warmth would help the pain a bit but Sukoh could help no further. Turning his attention to a small group of people who had been crushed in a bus accident he sniffed them, they were clearly dead. No breath was leaving them. Sukoh sighed and ripped the roof from the bus.<br/><br/>This next part may seem morbid but it has a purpose. The great bear parted his teeth and plucked the men and women out individually, and carefully swallowing them one by one. It took a little while but he swallowed each and every one of them. In his animal speak he muttered a few words to the lost souls. ""Grrnn, nnarru rarrarr. Nnngghh harrarr ruuurrr."" Translated he spoke to them, a prayer of peace. ""With Sukoh's consumption your deaths have purpose. Rest well poor soul."""

The collision between the two men created a loud crash that on its own would have been impressive; however it was drowned out by the thunderous roar in the confined area of the building as General Freedom accelerated again.<br/><br/>The pressure of the blue man as he grasped and compressed the torso of the hero, at the same time draining ZPE from him, it was something that the all-American hero counted on. The speed reached the nearly 1,200 miles per hour as they raced away from the building in a shower of debris and sundry office equipment.<br/><br/>Twisting around, General Freedom’s ZPE shield was starting to give way because the Fireen was draining it, allowing the pressure of the sinewy arms that squeezed in a bear hug the advantage that they were unable to gain had the shield been at its peak.<br/><br/>However the star-spangled hero was not without his own considerable strength as his arms were clasped in a clench of their own, exerting a vice like grip, holding tightly for dear life as he pulled them up and around another sky-scraper, before spinning around and diving for the ground.<br/><br/>Rather they were headed for the bubble-bodied bear who was slurping up the dead. Gritting his teeth and making sure that the Fireen was below him as they rammed into the backend of the large wobbly bear. General Freedom was hoping to have the man under him peeled off by the mass of the bear as he raced scant inches over it.<br/><br/>In either case the whole lot of them would feel the impact as the two men raced into the bear at nearly 1,500 miles per hour."

The General obliged by doing the same, but so long as Fury was in such close contact he could constantly leech energy from the human, and that same energy was being used to protect him as best as it could from the General’s own forceful grip. They flew at break neck speeds through the city, and Fury caught sight of a sky-scraper before he felt their momentum significantly shift and the noticeable change of forces acting upon him alerted him (as an advanced flyer himself.) that they were descending quickly towards the ground.<br/><br/>Fury didn’t like the idea of being used as a cushion for that particularly unpleasant sounding collision. His grip tightened from his right side, energy pulsing through the arm and causing it to shake with pent up force. He had barely moments to react, and as soon as he felt he was ready he let loose a strong blast of energy through his right hand, which counter-acted the downwards and forward momentum of the hero just enough so that they tilted, Fury no longer pointed straight down.<br/><br/>What the Fireen had not accounted for, was that they weren’t going to hit the ground. If that were the case, his powerful blast may have put him into a superior position for their imminent collision, but instead he was only half done with the revolution when suddenly the duo ploughed into a bear.<br/><br/>Blood and flesh scraped away, as if cleaved by some hefty axe, from his exposed right shoulder, which took the full brunt of his personal collision with the bear. He couldn’t be certain if his move had been enough to ensure the Hero also suffered some damage crashing into it, but regardless the Fireen slid across the bear’s massive back, roaring in anger and dim pain as he separated from the General somehow in the confusion, either from one or both of them losing grip or letting go. The Fireen bounced, full bodily, and launched off the side of the creature, crashing through a window on the opposite side of the street and disappearing in an explosive collision with a supply closet within.<br/><br/>His mind swimming with incredible pain, his armour shattered and his flesh lacerated and cut in multiple places, the Fireen began to feel the residual pull of an unearthly force. It tapped into his anger, drawing out reserves he didn’t quite know he had, but as he lay there amidst broken chairs and the remains of one valiant Henry the hoover, he refused to give into his baser form just yet…"

The only warning that Sukoh had for the oncoming pain was a slight tingle on the back of is neck. Before he could figure it out, however, a great deal of force slashed his backside in one quick movement. It was a moment after he saw something go flying off in whichever direction that he noticed something was wrong. In fact, something hurt. What? It hurt a lot! Sukoh realized pretty quickly that he has been injured, and he let out a loud groan of pain. No, not a roar of anger. What happens if you fall on your ass? You say ow. This was like that, except instead of falling all of the force was just in his tailbone. It's as though his entire backside had been hit, the pain was a wide and pulsating burn.<br/><br/>Having been caught off guard by the sudden slash on his bottom he laid down on his stomach and sniffled into the ground. To be honest, this was both an excruciatingly painful experience, and somewhat of an existential crisis. Why was Sukoh so hated, he is a nice bear! He doesn't attack people without reason, in fact he doesn't attack much of anything.<br/><br/>Now, Sukoh laid there and looked about. The two of them had went off somewhere else, and that's not Sukoh's problem. Really. But he was about to make it his problem. They had hurt Sukoh twice in a short period of time, and to be honest Sukoh was rather upset.He was going to get up and go find them, and then whichever one was closest he was going to get revenge.<br/><br/>After his bottom stops hurting, of course."

With a sound like a rushing waterfall electricity was being drained at incredibly rates by the Fireen, now standing with his injured arm low, inside the skyscraper. His power level sky rocketed, despite his significant injuries, and destroyed flesh either regrew or was sealed off with pure blue energy. He spat, and found the General’s own life force in the hazy blue world he saw in the throes of Unbridled Fury.<br/><br/>There was no hesitation, not even a moment to consider how badly he had been injured thus far, he just flew directly towards the hero. Ploughing through rock and steel with energy, he blasted out into the open air and shot directly through the walls of a bank, his fist rising and falling with huge martial might directly towards the stricken hero.<br/><br/>General Freedom had been thrown clear, but injured, after their first encounter. After rocketing through an empty bus he had ended up thrown through the vault of a bank, where he lay amongst the sound of screeching alarms and singed money. He raised his arms, still dazed, as the Fireen’s fist slammed into his guard, but he had no way of knowing just how much Fury’s strength had increased.<br/><br/>With the extra force of his martial might imbued with energy, along-side his physical strength increasing by as much as ten times its original amount, the explosive eruption as the two warriors met was too much for the building. Fury slammed his fists repeatedly into the guard, smashing through to the fleshy hero beneath. Like some form of missile had erupted from inside the walls blew outwards, more desolation and a crater were all that was left as the smoke and dust cleared, revealing the Fireen breathing heavily over the fallen hero.<br/><br/>“Stop, Fireen.” A voice called out. Fury turned from his act of delivering a final lethal blow and stared intently at the Nas’Gaduran. His body was badly injured, but he still held his pole-axe at the ready.<br/><br/>“My brother is dead, if you kill him he died for nothing, and I swear you’ll pay.” He followed, trying to get through to the anger-mad warrior. “I’ve called in support, they’ll be pulling us out in half a minute.”<br/><br/>Fury turned around, feeling his trophy had been taken from him, there was no describing his anger. Rubble simply burst away from him, leaving him floating in a small crater of his own, and he stared out at the only thing left worth killing.<br/><br/>“Take him then.” Fury growled, and the Nas’Gaduran gingerly jogged over to check the vital signs of the fallen General Freedom, even as Fury stood there in the ruins of the bank, looking out at the panic on the streets and the giant bear some distance up ahead."

Out from it, pops a pair of yellow, tiny antlers, and then following it, a horribly attractive dragon-man abomination, cuffed and bewildered. After a minor misdemeanor and misunderstanding in language barriers, Drag was momentarily handcuffed and escorted to the backseat of two nice men's car. Though, the two men seems to have disappeared after some massive event occurred. He wasn't one to jump into action, and was napping pleasantly until the scene got a tad bit too noisy.<br/><br/>Trying to not fall into the usual hero archetype of breaking handcuffs, Drag simply wiggled out of the shoddily crafted binds, and rubbed his wrists, staring out at the emptied out street, noting the large patches of blood without any bodies, and massive collateral damage. This seems like a generally terrible situation, until his eyes travel upon a massive, brown ball of fluff that he knew all too well. Holy shit, it was his good old friend, Sukoh the Bear! He seemed as happy as ever, ignoring the massive butt-wound.<br/><br/>Currently, he couldn't use his incredibly convenient Hammerspace Backpack to assist his fluffy friend, (As police tend to confiscate these things when arresting people) so he greeted him with a friendly hug, and a ""Raarourugh"" which roughly translated into ""Lobster-Folder"". He could understand bear, not speak it. He did however notice his old pal's large flesh wound, and decides to use practical communication, pointing at it and giving the bear an inquisitive look as if to ask what had even happened at this whole scene."

Something was amiss, the sounds of battle had ended. His ears twitched about in search of distant crashes and grunts. Nothing, the only sounds were the talking of Fury and another man, someone new? Probably. This was a very populated world, maybe the people he had made move away were working with Fury.<br/><br/>The sound of handcuffs clattering to the ground came from nearby him.<br/><br/>Sukoh's head snapped around to find the source, and to his very pleasant surprise he spotted the sight of a green figure. His eyes widened and his little puffball tail wiggled a bit. ""Rrag!"" The bear was met with a quick hug from his old half-dragon friend, his ears were then assaulted with Drag's horribly incorrect animal-speak. Sukoh didn't bother correcting him at the time, because he knew what Drag meant. ""Grarr, frrarr, fffuraarar."" Concluded with a little head shake that he punctuated with a snuffle from his nostrils. Sukoh's response was that someone had harmed these people, two mystical people with great power. They killed the people with no reason but Sukoh did his thing, giving them purpose in death for the life taken from them.<br/><br/>After that he pushed himself back up to his feet, giving his head another good shake and rose up onto his hind legs. The great beast looked out over the city and spotted the hole where Fury and Freedom had landed. Yep, the sounds of battle had stopped because Fury had won. This wasn't good, General Freedom seemed like a very strong individual, so Fury defeating him almost immediately after Sukoh got here was worrying. The bear dropped down onto all fours and looked down at Drag, growling out a couple words. ""Nnnfrrarr, uurraru ara rrgghh. Nnrrraarra rraraugh."" Which translates to: ""The one in there with the blue glow is the evil one, he smells of death and burning air. Sukoh's nose hurts around him.""<br/><br/>""Rrag? Nnrrggh arrnnarr.""

His anger was dissipating at an extraordinary rate, allowing him to save some reserves of energy for any further fighting.<br/><br/>The Nas’Gaduran turned from his analysis of General Freedom, and suddenly three more of his kind were beside him with a brief shocking noise like air being displaced. They took hold of the General and lifted him between the four of them, though not without one last word to the Fireen.<br/><br/>“Kill those two if you wish, otherwise return to the ship and await further orders.” The Nas’Gaduran spat, and the four disappeared, presumably taking the Hero to a containment cell for indoctrination and interrogation, perhaps even worse.<br/><br/>The Fireen snarled, turning towards the duo again, he made a grim sight in his scorched and damaged armour, his right shoulder still badly gouged despite the energy which had worked to regenerating the wounded flesh. It hung low as he took a few steps forward, out of the rubble and onto the street proper, which was now clear of anything remotely resembling innocents.<br/><br/>With each step, the glass atop the lights adorning each side of the street shattered as their energy was forcefully drained from them by the Fireen, who had a dire need to bolster his own reserves. Slowly, his arm could be raised into a position of usefulness, though it was barely fully operational even as he started to close on the huge bear."

Also because he had a massive hard-on for being the hero-archetype, but he wouldn't admit that. He gave his massive fluffy friend a nod, and tried another attempt at speaking his bear language. It didn't go well. In preparation for the fight, (and as if to say that shit was about to go down) he rolled up his sleeves, and drew out his incredibly shiny plasma hilt out of the pocket of his hoodie.<br/><br/>Realizing his terribly overpowered backpack isn't anywhere within his view, he realizes he has to just depend on his own strength, and cunning. He had strength, at least. The street light exploded is what set him off, as he yelled out in a panic, his hilt flickering into an axe as he swings around wildly. It takes him a second, but he directs his attention to what he presumes to be the ""Evil One"" his friend had told him about. Well aware his bear friend was strong, he was injured, so he stepped in front of Sukoh, his axe held out in front of the two of them.<br/><br/>""Uuhh..I'm not even sure if you speak English, in that case, I'm kinda just yelling at nobody! Uhm..Step back, I guess! And apologize to my bear friend!"" He was at this point, spitting out the last couple of lines, the whole slowly walking thing intimidated the fuck out of him. Although this person in front of him was clearly evil, and most likely going to maim his body in several ways, he did not make the first leap, and just kind of waved his weapon up and down."

If he had the ability to he would have smile at this gesture. Even more astounding was the he put himself between Sukoh and Fury, was Drag really trying to defend the bear? The guy's foolish but he sure has heart. All that matters, really. Haphazardly he waved around his energy weapon, a neat blade that Sukoh had seen a few times before. It always singed his fur when he was nearby it though, leaving a bad smell in his nose. Though that was not an issue right now as it wasn't the worst smell in the air.<br/><br/>No, that title belongs to Fury. The fireen was closing in on them and there was not much that either could do to defeat him. At least, that's how Sukoh saw it. A slight burning in his cheek reminded him of how easily he was cut by an attack by the inhuman monster. Drag was certainly tough, able to take quite a lot. But Sukoh had never seen him fight before, nothing like this at least. He growled in frustration, the hairs began to rise all over his body. The bear's lips parted and peeled back to reveal teeth that are almost as long as a human forearm, Sukoh could not let this monster hurt Drag. Not his friend!<br/><br/>Throwing caution to the wind he lurched forward over Drag's head, making sure to not step on him or accidentally knock him over. Sukoh's mouth tore apart to let out a deafeningly loud roar, throwing saliva into the air about him. In his tongue he belted out language that would make a sailor blush.

He wasn’t entirely sure if he was planning to attack them outright, or just to scare them a little and then leave. After all, he wasn’t some comic book villain, he had clear reasons for what he did. It was as his sense of reality returned that he remembered this, why he had wrought such destruction to this city for seemingly no reason. That was why he had intended to simply blast up into the sky right in front of the duo, and leave them to clear up the significant mess he had left behind.<br/><br/>That was before they stoked his anger with pathetic displays of aggression, at any rate. When the strange hybrid creature unleashed some form of energy weapon which Fury’s senses immediately detected as somewhat threatening, even to him, he shot one hand out to his right. With his powerful telekinesis he wrapped energy around a slightly bent lamppost roughly twenty meters long off to his side and tore it from the concrete, causing it to fly into his hand even as the bear began to roar.<br/><br/>Rather than like a trained warrior swinging a sword, Fury seized the lamppost in both hands, half hopped forward twisting his body to the right at the hip, and then swung more like someone batting in baseball. With formidable force the pole rocketed around, where he aimed to crack it straight into the Bear’s jaw even as it leaned down towards him. Even as he did this he ensured the hybrid was some distance behind the bear now, so it was no threat for the moment at least.<br/><br/>Even as he swung, and hopefully made contact, he was moving into a half crouch so as to prepare to jump skyward."

He is almost completely knocked over, but he manages to stay standing, directing his attention back to the scene at hand. Almost immediately as he looks back, he sees his friend with a lamppost aimed directly for what appears to be his jaw. Well shit. His grip on his hilt gets more firm as he finally gets a good idea of what's going on, running forward stupidly, and presumably without a plan. He seriously wasn't a very bright man.<br/><br/>His mind racing, he thinks deeply as to where he'll actually end up running, with a massive bear, and a horrible smelly evil thing in front of him. His arms swing a little bit as he unfortunately has to use his friend as a distraction, diving past him, and to the left of Fury (whether or not this was because of his injury is a mystery) letting out a completely necessary battle cry. This was a prime opportunity to land an attack on the monster, as he holds up his hilt, the axe flickering back once more and glowing a dangerous looking radiating aura that was probably giving Drag three separate types of cancer.<br/><br/>Launching himself into the heat of the battle, and swinging as gracefully as a woodsman who was cutting the finest of mahogany, he realizes how out of shape he is, as waving your arms around this much would tire out just about anyone that hasn't had a good fight in a year or so. He decides swinging wouldn't be very effective anyway, and adjusts his grip onto the axe, instead swinging the entire force of the axe forward against Fury's back, almost being launched back simply by he is deep fear for this smelly man.

There was little time to react as the metal bat was waved towards him, the bear lowered his head and swung his own incredibly dense skull at Fury. Deciding to match his force with a much bigger weapon, his own head. The sound of metal against bone and flesh rang out as Sukoh's head collided with the metal bat. It was painful but he pushed back with his entire body weight. The great bear was going to push Fury backwards as far as possible. There was no growling, nor was there any over action. It was a simple swing of his head.<br/><br/>In the periphery of Sukoh's vision he saw his friend coming around to Fury's side, ready to flank the evil one from the side.With that weapon of his he could deal some serious damage, Sukoh would likely have to run distraction. In fact, that's probably all he could do. Fury's speed was far too great for the bear to keep up, all he could really do was keep the attention of the alien."

Despite the fact that he should have had a significant advantage through centrifugal force and general momentum, the sheer bulk of the bear batted away his attack and the force of the blow transferred down the pole, buckling it and forcing Fury to let go as it was flung out of his hands.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the other opponent had apparently been attempting to flank him, covering what should have been a significant distance at an incredibly fast rate. Fortunately, Fury was already half crouched, preparing even as he made his prior move to burst skyward, and so he did that now, blasting into the air before the other creature’s weapon had any chance of hitting his unprotected back. He sped upwards, only slowing at roughly fifty feet skyward, and looked down at the two. It seemed likely that neither was particularly well suited for defeating an airborne opponent, and Fury was un-inclined to give them an advantage by remaining grounded.<br/><br/>Once airborne, Fury drew his left hand into a fist and began to throw vast quantities of energy into the palm, feeling the force increase to near uncontrollable levels over a shockingly short space of time.

However, Sukoh's attack was totally fruitless, his head was sore and there was going to be a nine foot long welt on his dome. Fury had even escaped from his attempt to trap him, flying well upwards outside of even the great bear's long reach. His companion's flanking served to do nothing more than drive the opponent away. Damnation, there was no way that he could attack Fury in that position. Sukoh had a long list of things that he can do, but none of those include flying. That is well outside of his capabilities.<br/><br/>Although. . .<br/><br/>With a slow intake of breath he looked down at Drag, then back up to Fury. ""Grpph."" This was something along the lines of: ""Aha!"" The bear spun around and closed his teeth on Drag's hoodie, picking him up by what can be called the scruff of his neck. There was little moment where Sukoh thought about how Drag would react to this, but he had a good enough feel about his friend that he knew that Drag could handle it. Sukoh threw himself upwards, all 32 feet of bear, into the air. At the apex of his rise his mouth flung open, releasing Drag into the air in some kind of catapult.<br/><br/>That would give Drag a bit of air, at least enough to close the distance between the pair and Fury. Although Drag would be on his own during this fight, Sukoh could not help him in the air. The buildings around them would provide a bit of walling to prevent Fury from running too far. But Sukoh was going to be excessively worried about this fight, Drag was a tough cookie but he wasn't certain about how well he could fare against someone as strong as Fury."

He saw what he needed to. Through one of the shimmering portals, he saw clearly the Statue of Liberty, holding its torch but seeming somehow…newer. He reshaded the cockpit and put the thrusters on afterburner, an old quaint term that didn’t apply to his engines but meant full power, right through the portal and over an open patch of ocean with the faint outline of a city barely visible on the horizon.<br/><br/>He attempted to use his quantum entanglement communication to report, but was cut off by an error message from AFAI in his digitized soldierly tone. “General, the LREM is malfunctioning. Attempt radio contact.” Duly instructed, the general again attempted to connect, using the Air Force’s secured radio frequency. No response. As the city grew closer, the general began to be more worried. He saw no ships launching from the rooftops, no fast transit planes zipping at hypersonic speeds overhead. The closer he drew to the city, the more apparent it was that he was not at home. The buildings looked like something out of a…<i>museum</i>, like a skyline in a holographic diorama displayed alongside a Roman Coliseum and a Gothic cathedral. A foreboding feeling grew stronger.<br/><br/>“AFAI, what is the airborne concentration of strontium-90 and Caesium-137? “<br/>The computer could obviously guess his intention in asking, and as such returned a more useful answer. “Based on the half-lives of the isotopes in question, if this is in fact Earth, the year is A.D. 2014, Sir. ”<br/>The news struck the commander like a thunderclap. Time travel was within the grasp of the being’s culture? “My God! I’ve gone back in time<i>five-and-a-half centuries</i>?!?!”<br/>“It would appear so, sir. Will you give the order for me to cryogenically freeze you and steer you as far away from Earth as possible until the time from which you left has arrived, sir?”<br/>It was a sound idea, but that human intuition spoke otherwise. “No, I do not. Intercept telecommunications and decrypt. Something feels wrong.”<br/><br/>“Yessir. I warn you, General, that if you make any perceptible impact on the timeline, your actions may have untold consequences. Causation has never been subjected to this kind of test. I cannot calculate what this paradox may do, so I strenuously emphasize the need for excellent judgment, sir.”<br/><br/>After a few milliseconds for AFAI to break the paltry encryption, a hologram in the cockpit displayed the news; Anchors on every channel were talking about the defeat and disappearance of a General Freedom at the hands of some glowing individual, both powered being not unlike the several who had appeared in his day from these portals. The realization was mutual between man and machine. AFAI chimed in first. “If, sir, this was our planet in the past, there would be no such individuals. Memory banks hold no such information, and if they had the powers described, they most certainly would be, sir.”<br/><br/>“What is apparent to me, is that we are in some parallel universe, a world which has developed exactly as our own with only minor deviation. However, I saw the statue of liberty, every detail identical. Whatever deviation has been either so minor as to not change history or so recent that it hasn’t had time to make a significant impact on the culture of this alter-earth. Either way, the freedom-loving liberal democratic culture with which I am accustomed, however nascent, is still alive.”<br/><br/>As the plane drew closer to the city, it began to be visible from the ground. The hologram then showed the correspondents on the ground all simultaneously touching their ears, likely receiving breaking news through their earpieces, and then cutting to amateur video of his plane.<br/><br/>“Yes Martha, we’re here on the ground where this is all happening. As you just saw in that video, some fighter with Air Force markings is en route. Our military analysts have no idea what this is. No comment from the Air Force regarding this plane.”<br/><br/>Lest he incur some hostile response from the same (or incredibly similar? Garrett wasn’t sure) military he was going to protect, Teflon broadcast a message on all radio channels once he reached the skies over the combat below, between what looked like a glowing man and an enormous bear as was shown on the news.<br/>“My fellow Americans, this is Brigadier General Garrett Johnson, United States Air Force…eh…sort of. The important thing is, I’m here to help.”"

The fact that his close friend was a massive, bear-eating bear was already an astounding feat on it's own, but the fact that he doubled apparently as a ""bear-o-pult"" made him positively<i>exuberant</i>. He was sort of hovering into the air, appreciating the whole situation before he realized he couldn't exactly fly in his current state. So as hurriedly as he could, he gripping onto the bottom of his hoodie, to rip off his hoodie. Grossly enough, he revealed that he was in fact ONLY wearing a hoodie, and no shirt, his wings popping out and flapping as quickly as they can so he can remain in air.<br/><br/>His antlers sway in the wind, one noticeably chipping out just a bit. He really didn't take good care of that junk, or his body in general, which now kinda was a little bit chubby, and a generally unattractive sight. He did however keep it healthy enough in case anyone was going to say, attempt to murder him with a telephone pole, as he worked his way up towards Fury, his weapon flickering on and off as he was more trying to focus on flying. He hadn't really done that in a while.<br/><br/>In a panic he pushed the button on his plasma hilt and shapeshifted the blade into the shape of a sword, stabbing out in rapid succession. Like some kind of crazed flying fencer, the blade jabbed out and upwards. Quickly closing the distance between himself and the flying man with terrible BO."

It was only when he revealed he too could fly that Fury even took him remotely seriously, and that was to say he simply waited until he was fifteen feet away and threw his left hand forward.<br/><br/>All that energy he’d been storing for just this occasion blasted outwards, lending to itself being as significant as crashing into a brick wall at one hundred mph. All that physical force was about to wash over the incoming opponent at high speed, but not just generally smashing him backwards, rather Fury had targeted his precious weapon on which it was obvious he relied.<br/><br/>Unless his opponent suddenly manifested some greater flight skills than he had been exhibited thus far, he was likely to have his weapon blasted from his hands by the great hurricane-esque wave of energy shot from Fury’s palm. Regardless, Fury then intended to zip rightwards in the air and circle around the hybrid, using his superior speed to dive down and seize the man’s left wing with his left hand as he flew by at high velocity."

Drag however, took the blast with all of it's force, not exactly prepared for it's incredible power, and started spinning in air. In an effort to not lose his only real chances of winning, Drag gripped onto his hilt with both hands, only causing him to spin faster and faster, creating a cartoon-ish like ""tornado"" in air, the plasma-sword doing just the same along with him, creating circles of red-hot energy in the air. Though, he can't really control himself, spiraling around in the air uncontrollably. Anyone in this situation would be spiraling about, going all around in the air, his wings trying to flap just to keep up.<br/><br/>He attempts to aim himself for Fury to attack once more, but can't even manage it, flying through the air in all directions, up, down, left, right, etc. Drag had never been in such a dizzy roller coaster of his own momentum, and he couldn't handle it. So, he threw up.<br/><br/>Mounds of molten lava fell from his mouth, and began to spin along with him, spinning faster and faster until it made a jiggling, slushy ring of super heated rock around him, making him quite the spectacle from anyone above the air. Though, he was already pretty enough to be one regardless. The lava flew from his mouth so fast that it basically formed a ring around his body for a second, and it then flew off in every direction horizontally. Like a sprinkler of lava at 100 mph.T he sheer speed of the lava would spread it out so wide that Sukoh below would be left unharmed."

In his mind he saw poor mathematics and somewhat cartoonish depictions of the situation. Fury is this strong, he thought, breaking metal and rock super easily. Drag is also strong, but not as strong. The weapon thing that burns his nose is strong too, and Drag can use that to make himself stronger. The bear looked down at the rubble and broken cars on the ground around him, the fight between Fury and Freedom had left behind a good bit of destruction.<br/><br/>Then for a moment he thought about how he had thrown Drag, that gave him a bit of a speed boost. Sukoh could throw things up in the air! Then looking upwards he saw the blast strike his friend's hand, his grip persisted however and he started in a mad spiral in the air. Drag was going to be super dizzy by the end of this. But his friend was in trouble, Sukoh saw Fury flying towards him after the blast, and there wasn't much that he could do to prevent that. His friend would be alone in this venture for a little bit, but simple as it was Sukoh had a plan.<br/><br/>The great bear meandered over to the wall of a building, placing his paw through the shattered window and swiping from side to side. Collapsing the walls of the structure and sending chunks of concrete and rebar falling down to the ground. This would be sufficient stuff to throw, it would at least provide distraction. With his enormous mouth he started to scoop up the foul tasting material and stuffing it into his cheeks with his tongue. It poked at his tongue and the roof of his mouth right painfully but it was nowhere near the pain that Drag would experience without help.<br/><br/>Sukoh prepped himself, positioning his body in such a way to be exactly what Drag described him as. A Bear-a-pult. With one last look upwards he tucked his chin into his chest and crouched down low to the ground. Lowering himself would allow for more of a buildup of speed as he rose. He kept his mouth closed but loose and his back arched upwards, this was just about the optimal positioning for catapulting a few hundred pound of debris into the air."

He had no patience for fighting such a fool, and obviously he had no intention of trying to make a grab for him when his attack had obviously been so successful. Fury was so irritated with the weakness of his opposition he couldn’t even justify sticking around just to kill them and drain their energy, and so, considering he had absolutely no motive for continuing the fight… he didn’t.<br/><br/>The Fireen jetted off, backwards and far away from the fire-spewing monstrosity below, far out of range of any debris that could have been thrown at a later date. His energy propelled flight took him high into the sky at a cool 200mph, so he quickly lost sight of everyone below him as he entered the lower atmosphere of the planet.<br/><br/>With a glowing aura surrounding him, he closed his eyes and prepared for transportation. The Angar-Rylla only had limited recourses for it, but for such a formidable weapon he had no doubts as soon as he broke out of the planet’s atmosphere they would detect him and bring him aboard their orbiting cruiser, where the General himself was held. There he could get far away from this place and closer to his ultimate goal, which was all that really mattered."

A sleek Angar-Rylla capital ship with several smaller escort class ships anchored itself in orbit. Deep within the command bridge several holographic view screens observed the events on the planet surface bellow. Primarily centered on the strange conflict that had taken place between Fury and yet unidentified extra dimensional aliens.<br/><br/>Khazna sat slumped in his command chair, looking slightly bored, even though the ongoing conflict had been somewhat entertaining. Though not nearly as much as the previous battle beforehand. It had only been several minutes since entering the planets low orbit from the home universe of the Angar-Rylla home system.<br/><br/>""Seems Fury has finally grown bored, Lord Cardinal."" Baltu noted as the Fireen began to break away from the large bear and strange winged creature.<br/><br/>Khazan sighed. ""About time, I was starting to think he'd rampage forever. Not that it would normally matters. It would have helped pass the time as the engines cool down before the next jump.""<br/><br/>Baltu just shrugged as he went over a screen of ever changing data on his data console. ""Will you be hailing him? We may need his...expertise in the Daemon web pits.""<br/><br/>Khazna waved his hand dismissively. ""I doubt it, would seem incredibly excessive for such a simple mission. Still the nexus gateway only leads to the webs from here. We can always offer a ride, what else do I have to do but ferry fireens across the multiverse!"" He stared back at a monitor that currently showed the planet in all its blue glory. ""I suspect however...we will be returning sooner than later. Such a rich world would benefit Angar-Rylla greatly.""<br/><br/>With that Baltu sent a simple message to Fury detailing a rendezvous point until the smell escort was ready to exit into the nexus."

As he was turning his head upwards to throw the concrete he saw the only thing in the sky was Drag. The only sign of Fury that was left was a hole left behind in the clouds that simply closed up as the wind blew. In his anger Sukoh crushed the concrete in his mouth into a fine grey powder, bending the metal bars into pretzels around his teeth. The evil one who took too many lives for no reason simply took off and left? The bear spat the debris from his mouth and tried to lick away what remained, he was unable to roar out his frustrations at such a disgraceful action. Relaxing himself before he started doing something stupid, Sukoh knew his limits, sitting down on the ground he looked up at the sky. Unable to see the ship through the atmosphere during the daytime and the thickness of the cloud cover.<br/><br/>The bear grumbled as he set his sights on Drag, who was falling from the sky. Sukoh rolled his body backwards, doing a full somersault and laying himself on his back to keep Drag from hitting his head. The least he could do was catch Drag, prevent him from actually getting hurt from that blow."

He flew back into the air, giving him a good view on the fleeing Fury. Drag honestly didn't know much about Fury, or what he was on about, but to leave a fight? That was enough for him to yell, as he fall back into the ground ""PUUUSSSSSS-"" only to be muffled by Sukoh's fur. He wasn't really furious with the guy, Drag was just a firm believer in ending a fight that was started. He stood up quickly, gave Sukoh a sad pat, attempting to say ""Sorry"" in his language, but instead mumbled something about crustaceans.<br/><br/>He hopped away, dove into the police car to retrieve the rest of his things, and then fled the scene."

The General was awed by it. It was tremendous, as large as the USS Alaska if not larger! However having no such emotions, AFAI was first in vocalizing his assessment.<br/><br/>“General, I have no information about this ship, however I can infer from its tremendous size and the capabilities our own ships of such size, it is a formidable opponent. I recommend no hostile action, sir.” The General rapidly regained his composure; paralyzing emotions did not befit a profession such as his, and he was ashamed to have even lost these milliseconds.<br/>“Noted, computer. The ship seems to have not noticed us.” He chuckled, “You know, computers keep advancing and advancing, but they’ll never be good at poker. Open communication on all channels, I have a message for these aliens. While I talk, salt the AMRAAM-43 with some tantalum, rubidium, titanium, lawrencium, any trace elements we happen to have picked up whizzing through space we’ve no use for. Only a few milligrams though, I want this next bit to be a mystery.”<br/><br/>He put on his officer’s cap and a game face, then faced the camera in the cockpit. “Begin transmission. This is Brigadier General Garrett Johnson, United States Air Force. You are in violation of American orbital space, and are harboring a fugitive from justice. You will depart at this instant, or face the consequences. If you cannot understand me, I will send a warning shot to convey my intentions.”<br/>He nosed up at mach 10 and launched the salted AMRAAM vertically, not quite towards but very close to the flagship, around a few miles.<br/><br/>“The missile headed in your direction Is not locked on to you, but it is carrying the means of your destruction. I do not know how advanced your civilization is, so I will explain the contents. Aboard this missile, the weakest I have, is 10 grams of antimatter. Aboard my others, I have up to a metric ton, all under high pressure. You can see the missiles"" This was not an an empty bluff; the missiles had more than enough volume to contain more antimatter, however, 430 kilotons worth was deemed sufficient. ""And in my ship, another 20 metric tons, a few hundred gigatons all told, and I have lasers capable of focusing an antimatter annihilation on any of your weakspots as well. And you may get me, and you may get some of my missiles, but one will get through.<br/><br/>He remotely detonated the missile some 1000 km from the surface of the earth.<br/><br/>“Don’t bother calculating it, that was 430 kilotons exactly. Now, I have been authorized to use all weapons, and unless you leave these people be, so help me God all 20 metric tons are going to detonate in your hull.”<br/>He altered trajectory towards the moon and engaged cloaking, which optically and to sensors not specifically watching for very faint 1550 nm transmissions, would look like he teleported, possibly behind the moon to launch missiles from safety. The enemy would not get a sneak attack on him. He disabled the common radio frequencies from metamaterial bending for now, so he could hear if they made their response."

The Fireen found himself in a narrow room which decontaminated and released him after only a moment, allowing him to walk into a visiting hall where some of the Angar-Rylla was awaiting him. No doubt he made quite a sight in his scorched and broken armour, which he relinquished with some help. By this point, his right arm was completely red with blood, so first-aid officials applied a kind of sealant paste, aiding his recovery, and cleaned up his wounds. He remained completely silent throughout, concentrating on not draining the life energy of everyone around him; he was unpleasant enough as it was.<br/><br/>Donning some course cloth clothes and heavy boots to traverse the ship, the Fireen once known as Manadar decided it was only right to answer the summons of the commander who had teleported him.

The lumbering giant did not move, nor did he bother checking the wounds from today. Not enough motivation to worry himself with wounds that would just heal up eventually. Today had been an odd day, two wizards fought and Sukoh assumes that one of them is dead. Then his closest friend appears out of nowhere and then totally vanishes into thin air, though that's not out of character for him, Sukoh didn't see that as odd. It was the showing up part that was odd. What's next? Some kind of space ship just crashing on him?<br/><br/>Yeah, that'd be about his luck. Within recent history he has actually died, so severe internal hemorrhaging from a large object landing on him doesn't seem too far out of realistic outlook on the near future. Ah well, Sukoh's tired, the bear's had a pretty long day overall. With a few struggled groans he flipped himself over onto his stomach and laid his head down on the concrete road.

Khazna flexed, yawned, and generally waited in object boredom. By the the gates of oblivion! He had almost forgotten how time consuming it was to move from one nexus gateway to another, just to get to where you wanted to go. Then there was the possibility you might not even get there if a Nexus storm swallowed the ship and dumped it randomly elsewhere in the multiverse. That had only ever happened Khazna and his entire fleet had ended up in a world of unicorns, sparkling pones, dancing flowers and rainbow! Khazna had since vowed to murder every and anything unicorn or pony he ever met again.<br/><br/>Such inconveniences were exactly why Angar-Rylla needed control of the nexus, specifically to avoid rainbows and pones.

""I hate when people do that!""<br/><br/>""They're accelerating, sir!"" Warned one of the deck officers. Sure enough the small ship had entered hyper speed and fired off a missile. Alarms sounded as the capital ship entered battle ready conditions. Weapons were powered and trained on the ship's position, meanwhile the escort ships began pulling away into a defensive pattern.<br/><br/>Once the missile was lunched point defense weapons zeroed in on it, and in a blink of an eye it was snuffed out of existence with pin-point laser fire.<br/><br/>""Hmm...so not surrendering then?"" Khazna pointedly mentioned. ""Bah, I don't have time for this, is the nexus gate located yet?""<br/><br/>""Yes sir, we need only activate it."" Baltu announced.<br/><br/>""Prefect, open up a gate then, meanwhile prep the missile in tube 77.""<br/><br/>""Missile prepped, but those are just EMP-""<br/><br/>""Oh, I know! But he won’t! When you’re done with that establish communication, then boot up a gate, I'm already annoyed with this place.

""This is ground control to major Tom, it seems you head is too far up your ass, in loo of this you may kindly shove off."" With a crack of his knuckles he then added. ""Oh, cut comm's and fire those missiles if you please.""<br/><br/>""Missiles away.""<br/><br/>At that moment a fast free falling device shot down from the underside of the capital ship. It soared down to earth then immediately split into a dozen small missile shaped projectiles once it broke the atmosphere. Moments later a rip in space time appeared just a few miles before the Angar-Rylla fleet, which quickly begin filing into the void.<br/><br/>""You make the most interesting friends Sunshine.""

With a shove he pushed himself up off the ground, looking around at the destruction left behind by the previous battle. And then looking for any sign of the portals that he uses to travel from world to world. The familiar scent of cherry blossoms and peaches wafted through a nearby hole, Sukoh wagged his little puffball tail.

He'd grown bored of the planet, especially with a lack of any people wildly slapping their fists into each other, and hopped around until he happened to stumbled upon a nexus portal, and with how these things work, it wound up spitting him out on a spider web planet.

The world started with the two Legends, Light and Dark. These two legends made the world to their specifications giving life and prosperity to the world. One day the two legends had a falling out, Light wanted to put the world into an endless cycle of just Light. Dark disagreed and wanted the world to be balanced in both Elements. They soon started to rage battles against each other. Plunging the world into a never ending battle, humans had to decide what side they wanted to join. Some joined Light some joined Dark, then the entire population was split into two races, the Lights and the Darks. They fought and fought ravishing countries one-by-one. Each Kingdom nearly destroyed itself when they two Legends finally died, killing each other in a massive collision of Light and Dark. These Legends left a child to take their place, The Dark Queen Avaline Dark-Bringer and The King Kurova Light-Bringer, these two made a treaty to keep peace until they felt that their kingdoms were ready. Each ruler had two children, Avaline gave birth to Jurano Dark-Bringer, her only son, and Maria Dark-Bringer, her only daughter. Kurova gave birth to Koat Light-Bringer,his daughter, and Avantine Light-Bringer, his son. The day of treaty break was on the first day of the seventh month of the year nineteen oh five, then the fourth great war began...<hr/>Jurano was sitting in his room, looking down at the city below. He gave off a low sigh and decided to see where his sister was, he made his way out of his dark lit room, into the corridor. There hanging banners and different paintings, all of them showing either him, his sister, his mother or great grand dad. Jurano never met his father for he died by the hand of an assassin. He kept walking and made his way into the throne room where he found his mother sitting at the throne, reading one of her books.<br/><br/>""Good morning mother, I don't suppose you have seen Maria?"" He asked playing with the straps on his arms.<br/>""No I haven't Jurano perhaps she is outside playing for once."" She replied with a laugh, she went back to reading her book with a smile.<br/>Jurano rolled his eyes at her, he started to make his way to the training room. When he arrived he pulled his sword from out of nowhere using his abilities to control complete darkness, He was the weapon and the Dark was his sheathe. He started swinging the sword around hitting multiple targets that popped up.<br/><i>I wonder if I'll see Celestia today...</i>he thought to himself, he found her interesting in many ways but could always tell when she was playing around.<i>Maybe Otaku too...</i>He found Otaku annoying but was always intrigued at how he can make very interesting techno logic advances. He started thinking about the war when his thought was interrupted by a very creepy song his sister always sung."

''Could you maybe tell me... Where I have to go to buy a house?'' she asked with a little smile. She felt eyes stare at her and she also felt that her horse got nervous from the staring people. Soon people started to whisper things but she didn't care about it. She kept her horse tight and calmed it down with her voice. ''Sssshhh Boy.. ssshhh...'' she said and got off the horse. It was clear that she was shorter than Seth but yet she didn't look weak. She held the horse in one hand and looked at him. ''A hotel I know but I think that I want to live here... I just need some information'' she said and held her head to one side.

She decided to listen to herself for this time and wend to do some shopping for dinner and the next day. She had not much money so she directly looked around to see if someone needed a employee. Maybe she could find a simple job somewhere.<br/><br/>When the buzzes and sound started again, she went to the place and saw the same guy as before. The one she was warned for.

''I am glad to hear that he will be better soon.. Thank you for your help..'' she said and nodded, she got up and walked to the guestroom were Seth was laying. She sat down on the chair next to his bed and laid her hand on his, softly playing with his fingers. ''Seth.. I am so sorry for causing you so much trouble... I feel very responsible for what happened with you... If I hadn't come to that town, my brother wouldn't and he wouldn't have met you... or caused you so much harm... Please... Get better soon'' she whispered and bend over, she softly kissed him on his lips and felt her own tears slide down her cheeks. She was gonna hunt for her brother and kill him, even if it would be the last thing she did.<br/><br/>She stood straight and walked out of the guest room. She looked at Seth's friend and smiled some. ''I can't stay.. Do you maybe have a pen and piece of paper for me? I want to write something for Seth'' she said and was trying to not get eye contact with him."

It would be a few hours before he wakes, and the wound would be closed by that time with the stuff I put on it.

The swift and silent movements of the hunting pack a mere whisper of sound in the early dawn. The elfin leader upon his giant black wolf, riding silently his eyes watching the ever expanding circle of light that streamed through the canopy of trees, his thoughts on finding a Nymph, a conduit of power for his own uses.<br/><br/>Somewhere ahead they would find what they sought, and they would do as they had been tasked, subjugate and crush any hope of resistance that might exist. Just as dozens of other hunting packs scoured the countryside, seeking to commit such atrocities that the will and hope of the people were crushed as word would spread of the consequences of betrayal to the Overlord.<br/><br/>Dynoz narrowed his eyes a moment as he thought of that, betrayal of the Overlord, such a foolish thought, such a foolish action. Yet even now, Dynoz displayed that which made the Elves a feared and dangerous enemy, for they fear nothing and would always seek to twist the circumstances to their benefit. A cruel, twisted smile flashed across his lips, a smile that gave only the briefest hint of pleasure, how he would savor the moment when he would seize power from the Overlord and establish a Hegemony of Elven families that would rule the world, completely, unassailable, resolute.<br/><br/>A human slave spoke haltingly to the elfin lord, hi svoice cracking under stress, ""My...my lord my village lies just beyond those trees. Please my family...my wife and children. You promised they would be spared.""<br/><br/>Without looking at the human who had addressed him, Dynoz said haughtily, “I believe they have found something worth their attention. Perhaps we have found another group of refugees…or perhaps more sport, remnants of the army that once faced the Overlord.”<br/><br/>""No my lord it is my village...there are no warriors there, we are simple farmers trying to survive...please.""<br/><br/>The large wolf moved with an assurance that came from being a predator, and it also had caught the scent, dragons. Ahead somewhere were dragons. A thin stream of saliva sprayed as the wolf licked its large black lips, the thick sharp teeth glinted evilly.<br/><br/>Turning slowly, so that the eyes of the elf beheld the form next to him, “Remind me again what your position is among this company?” Dynoz said icily as he peered with a very visible malice into the eyes that looked back at him. Before an answer could be given, in the distance a yipping sound filled the air, followed by another and a third.<br/><br/>A cruel smile crossed the elf’s lips as his eyes narrowed, the angular face caught the shadows of the trees as they cascaded down upon the pair, “Come…I believe we shall find out what the scouts have discovered very shortly.” With that Dynoz nudged the large wolf into a trot. ""And kill the human...we have no further need of him."""

His commander, Dynoz, was talking to come filthy human from the town just ahead, and Adinraen had been tasked with keeping watch in case something had gotten bold and decided to strike at the glorious elven leader.<br/><br/>He chuckled as the human below groveled for his family, begging Dynoz to remember the promise his made of mercy. He could have spat right then and there. Humans and their mercy, pathetic - useless - they were nothing but target practice and Adinraen loved to be at the range. Adinraen knew not to speak in front of his lord until he was done conversing, but that didn’t mean he was forbidden from thinking of the ways to kill the prey in front of them.<br/><br/>The yipping ahead of them had been a signal, something of note had been found and Dynoz and Adinraen had been alerted. Oh the sweet smell of death tickled his nose and tongue, so hungry for the kill that though it had not yet happened - he could very well feel it.<br/><br/>Adinraen was the type of creature that thrived off death, the necklace of skulls he wore were a tribute to that. The Demon Elf, the Devil Elf, the Mad Elf Ring Blade, names he was called during his campaigns. A violent Fae that held no regard for any life that was not his own, or was not the life of his superiors. He turned away from the yipping scouts direction and back towards his commander, waiting for the man’s command. His eyes danced from Dynoz to the Human, hoping that his fate would be sealed by but a single sentence.<br/><br/><b>“And kill the human,”</b><br/><br/>Adinraen didn’t hear the rest - his Bone Blades were already in hand, and he was halfway down the enormous tree by the time Dynoz had finished the sentence. It was but a simple cut, the jagged blades made it messy - blood showered the demon elf as he landed and watched the head of the human fall to the ground with a soft thud. His eyes opened wide as he replaced the blades and reached down to grab the head. His druidic magic’s raced through his finger tips and the head was slowly stripped of its flesh - the bone shrinking until it was but a charm sized version of itself. Within moments, Adinraen was walking behind Dynoz, fastening the skull to his necklace.<br/><br/><b>“Those yips, it’s something rather… large out there, Commander Dynoz. I believe you may already know what survives these lands. Tell me! Is it a phoenix, a minotaur?! Is it a dragon?”</b>Adinraen’s eyes flitted around the forest, watching and waiting. The scouts would soon be in eyeshot, hopefully with prey just a bit further than them.<br/><br/><b>“It’s dragons!”</b>Adinraen exclaimed. Their stench wafted through the air heavily. His hand had already grasped one of the Bone Blades. All he needed as a word, a command, and he would go on the offensive. The scouts noted that their Commander and back up had arrived.<br/><br/>All around them, mythical beasts watched from the perceived safety of the forest, wondering who these people were and why they were so heavily armed. Adinraen’s eyes darted back and forth,<b>“Twenty creatures, Sir - many of them helpless, but at least five would pose a problem to some of the weaker units, and one is particularly… large.”</b><br/><br/>He grabbed the newly added and seemed to speak to it.<b>“Is that town full of vile, despicable dragons?!”</b>He cackled and let the head fall back into place.<br/><br/>Up ahead he could make out the town, the little town with the man’s family, his wife and children. His prey. Perhaps he would save the wife, if she was attractive for a human - perhaps he would add her to budding stable of pillaged village women. A sickening smile crossed his lips.<br/><br/><b>“…die,”</b>he whispered towards town, thinking for just a moment that the resistance they suspected would be there and hear him. That they would grab their arms and prepare to fight.<br/><br/>He liked his prey… feisty."

A palisade hid the structures of the village, but he could hear the squeals and laughter of children. The hammering of metal on metal as blacksmiths worked to forge weapons quickly and the sweet smell of honey-bread baking.<br/><br/>For a long minute Dynoz stared at the village, the disgust and hatred hidden on his angular face, his eyes showing the only signs of emotion, as they flared slightly at the sight of a human child tromping into the forest with a basket of bread.<br/><br/>Odd, why should that be? Rising a shimmering gem to eye level he glanced in the direction of the child, after a moment a curse slipped from his lips. The human had led them into an ambush, foolish man-thing, to believe he was smarter than the elves.<br/><br/>Licking his lips he lowered the spying gem and spoke softly, yet with icy conviction, “Adinraen, I wish that your skills be employed. Silently and swiftly, be as the hawk upon a hare,” Turning towards the Demon Elf, Dynoz smiled “Go, kill their strongest warriors, we shall be along shortly. Save the women and children…if you can.”<br/><br/>Turning back towards the rest of his command, he barked at them, “Centaurs…Centaurs are here. They shall try to save the humans.

In the center was a Centaur, a scout from the Centuarian forces that were now attacking the forces in the back.<br/><br/>With a vicious toss, the ring blade cut through the air and cleaved through the scout Centaur, implanting itself in the medium sized statue of the town center. Those around could barely get out a peep before blood showered them. They immediately went into a defensive position, but it was already too late.<br/><br/>Adinraen landed seven meters away from them and whipped out his blade, hacking the leg off one of the resistance fighters and the arms of another. They formed a circle around the Devil Elf, but it would do nothing to help them survive.<br/><br/><b>""Dynoz won't be too happy with me, he ordered me to stay quiet and move swiftly, like a hunting hawk.

Long at odds with the will of the Overlord, the centaurs had finally openly opposed the will of the Eternal One, and now there was open war and little love lost between the two races.

The bear loved places where there were creatures big and small for him to commune with, though it was known as relatively unsafe compared to planets like Earth. Sukoh wasn't concerned, no beast attacks him, and few blades are thick enough to harm him.<br/><br/>Entering the realm his nose was beset by the stench of meaningless death and bloodshed, Sukoh's eyes welled with tears and his lips parted. Whoever did this?! There was more up ahead, a trail of droplets and footprints leading away from an outcropping. Sukoh swung his massive head around and broke into as fast a sprint as he possibly could, the ground gave way beneath his steps and shook all around him. Every part of his body wobbled and jiggled with every footstep.<br/><br/>The great spirit bear's head rose upwards mid stride and he jaw parted, he let out a furious roar that would be heard from miles away. Spittle flew from his lips and into the air. The roar was primal and terrifying to those who could not understand the language of the animals. Those who could would hear: ""Killer of Innocence! Beware the jaws of Sukoh!"" From the edge of the forest he saw a city and the trail of blood ended outside of the tree line, Sukoh assumed the killer had run there. Laying his head low to pick up a bit stronger of a scent from the ground, also looking for footprints. There was no other way he could have run. It was only logical, so Sukoh let out another roar for all to hear, this one was much deeper and said with his head low to the ground. ""I will put your essence to rest Killer of Innocence! No more aimless bloodshed!""<br/><br/>There was certainly no way he would reach the town before the monster killed another, his ears picked up a distant voice in a man-tongue. Someone was fighting!

There was a moment as the tremor ended that nothing else was forth coming, aside from the clouds overhead darkening to a unnatural pitch black.

His eye cast about squinting in the light of the accursed sun, the yellow face was high in the air this day. It caught the scent of something new in it's great nostrils, yes something new, and luscious perhaps?

Many lives had been taken by this creature, and it had appeared from nowhere. Was it like him? Was this abomination a dark spirit? The titan swung around mid stride and saw a beast that was at eye level with his four legged posture, a horrid beast of unnatural anatomy. A cruel freak of nature with a spirit as black as coal, Sukoh's teeth clenched tightly. This thing was here for him, he just knew it. There was no coincidence that it showed up once he had left the forest, someone was watching him. It seemed impossible that he had failed to sniff it out but he had been tunnel visioned one the one who had done the killing before so now he was about to regret it.<br/><br/>Someone or something had been behind him, or this thing had just appeared out of nowhere. That means that there was either a summoner or this monster could teleport. He really hoped it was the former, a teleporting creature would prove dangerous. No, Sukoh would have to ignore it for now, there was something of a more immediate threat nearby. And it was inside of a town where people could die, Sukoh would have to deal with the second problem when it arose. Reluctantly his head whipped around back to the town and began running again. Hopefully this thing wasn't faster than he was, because if it was then he'd have a problem. Though if it wasn't faster than he was then it would never catch up to him by the time he attacked the first threat.<br/><br/>In the distance a voice cried out, returning Sukoh's cries of anger. It was- It was happy? The monster who had killed the innocent enjoyed it. They're sick and evil, and Sukoh was getting angrier by the second. ""You will wear my jaws as a crown as I bite your head off!"" This roar was his loudest yet, as he approached the town's farthest perimeter his feet felt uncomfortable on the ground. As though some dark influence was over them, was this being a mage? It spoke animal tongue and the ground felt disgusting to his toes. Some powerful creature lied ahead and Sukoh was the only thing standing between it and the lives of these people. The bear was almost inside the town and he could see his target standing atop a statue, a sadistic creature he was. Donned in cruel armor and with a wicked face full of everything wrong with the world. An elf man with cruel intent and the smell of freshly spilled blood on the air. ""You!"" Sukoh wasn't close enough to strike him, but he was near enough to speak face to face. The spittle from his roar sprayed through the air as Sukoh locked eyes with him from a distance."

The trees shook and like a wave leaves fell away and birds scattered by the hordes, even the elves and centaurs in the midst of battle could hear, and even 'feel' the hate and blood-lust in that cry almost as if it was a tangible force. Horses in the town bucked and went mad upon hearing it, and the beasts of the field scattered like fallen glass. The cry chilled men to the bone and even the toughest warrior was unsettled by it, wondering what manner of demon the overlord had sent to reap their lives.<br/><br/>Snarnorgul head shot back down in the direction of the heavy foot stomps that still shook the ground. He sniffed long and hard, as if savoring the scent, mixed with blood and the frequent smell of pine and wood. As the echo of the roar whined down, Snarnorgul stooped forward as it readied itself for the chase to follow. Then it took off with a great bounding step, shaking the earth with a mighty hoof, then another. It crashed into the trees at the edge of the clearing, knocking them down as if they were mere weeds and crushed them under foot. Snarnorgul huffed and lowered his head as he battered through the bush, seeking to gain on it's prey. The bear had a decent lead on the Tanar'ri, and it was hardly faster then it's fellow behemoth. Still it drove forward like a storm, making such a noise as it stampede forth like the flood gates had been opened.<br/><br/>There was no stealth, no finesse, or subtlety to his charge nor finesse in Snarnorgul's movements. Indeed it was to glad to even think of the noise it was making as it surged forward, now moving around the speed a man could sprint, though taking up much more ground with his stride. It felt good to be on the hunt again, to feel the rustle of wind pass it's ears, the sound of it's feet stomping the ground. Oh, and the smell of blood in the air! Oh! how it loved it! Great drops of saliva mixed with acid dripped freely from Snarnorgul's mouth now. Thinking of the feast soon to come. He barreled into a clearing where part of the battle was taking place. The elves had since taken note of the beasts foot strides, and were already seeking shelter. The centaurs sensed the foulness in the air no doubt, being attuned to the wild as they were. But they saw their hated enemy give ground, and thinking they were fleeing had given chase. Just then Snarnorgul burst through the treeline, sending pieces of wood mixed with splinters into the air. The Centaurs had not time to get out of the way, though some turned and ran while other fired missiles in his direction.<br/><br/>Centaurs would have easily outrun him normally, but he had come upon them too suddenly for them to get a good running start, and he trampled them underfoot. Arrows struck his tough outer hide, yet he seemed to not even take notice. They fell away harmlessly striking as they did his toughest sheet of protection, where bone meld with flesh. He leaped forward into a roll that crushed more combatants under him before he rolled to his feet again, the arm of a centaur hanging from his jaws now. He smashed into the opposite treeline leaving as quickly as he had come, arrows following his retreat. The missiles were shot wildly however, fear robbing the archers of their skill momentarily. All this Snarnorgul ignored, for it hunted far more worthy prey.<br/><br/>Still it cursed it's slow progress, for at this rate unless his prey halted it would reach the town first, as it was still by Snarnorgul's reckoning, a league away, roughly 680 feet ahead. It loosed another roar, this not as grande as before but still fearful in it's echo. Snarnorgul reached the rocky outing of a stream, a river no doubt to lesser beings. It glanced upon a large boulder near the border of the waters on the opposite bank. Crashing through the water, the icy drops cold on it's scaly hide, it seized the rock with a upper right pincer, as it passed it. It's sharp eyes just made out the great bear through the gaps in the trees ahead, indeed the path was not hard to find as the bear had left a great amount of ruin in it's passing.<br/><br/>Then it threw the great stone in a high arc before continuing to charge forth. The stone was aimed a little ahead of Snarnorgul prey, who himself had chanced a guess at the right amount of force, but it sailed true and might intercept the bear as it came toward the town proper, falling from above if the Bear continued at the same heading. To land with the force of a small car. Snarnorgul did not expect the boulder to do much harm, but it might slow it down and force it to face him. Anything to slow it so Snarnorgul could rip it to shreds. As it continued it did however notice another scent, indeed one that had been unnoticed so enthralled Snarnorgul had been in the hunt. Yes, no doubt it was the devil elf! Snarnorgul did not so easily forget the scent of the overlords most trusted allies. It's pace increased slightly in anticipation, for wherever that elf went death surely followed.<br/><br/>Fate had not smiled kindly on this shanty of a human town; for two great calamities would it face in but one day. Snarnorgul grin widened."

Other then this brief clatter the room was much more peaceful then one would expect, given the situation. It was found on the second floor of a small inn; it's window overlooking the chaotic men screaming outside of it and the lone girl sleeping peacefully on the other side. It was a room meant to give weary travelers their rest, and as such it did wonders at canceling out the noise of the boisterous hustle that was often experienced outside in the town's square. This particular occupant made matters even worse. With all of her tiresome exploration she did through ought the day she often got very tired, plopping down onto whatever would serve as her bed that night to fall to sleep near instantaneously, not waking for anything, not even a hurricane, until morning came, or even past morning in some occasions when she had a particularly fun adventure that latest until the wee hours of the daylight. Today was one of those days, and she probably could have managed to sleep for a good couple of hours more had they let her.<br/><br/>Upon the latest booming sound the girl stirred in her sleep, mumbling something about annoying bublins before laying still once again, having found another comfortable position and pulled the sheets tightly around her. Only her head, bare feet and ankles, and her left hand that gripped onto the edge of the sheets was seen. Her messy light purple hair, which was no surprise to be in such a state even while awake, was haphazardly flowing in every which way, some of it covering her face and some of it even spilling down from the edge of the bed like a waterfall. It was long enough to reach about halfway down her back, so it was no surprise that some of it managed to touch the ground, sweeping across it like a broom with every light head movement. Her face was quite peaceful looking in her slumber, not showing how fierce she could become in battle.<br/><br/>The building rumbled. She stirred again, this time more heavily, her brow furrowing. It was also purple, revealing that this was indeed her natural hair color. She was not a normal human. Far from it, actually. She might even be considered a space alien if one wanted to get technical. She had stumbled onto this planet through a portal the night before, and was so exhausted from her subsequent search around her brand new environment that she barely managed to get a wink until she collapsed into bed at last, overcome with exhaustion. This put her sleep schedule a bit out of whack, but for her it was worth it. She would have stayed up all night had her body let her. However, she wasn't able to last in the end and was carried off to this inn by worried individuals. Little did they know she was used to sleeping outside so it wouldn't have bothered her, but it was the thought that counts. One of the kind villagers, a short brown haired boy about her age, stood over her now, shaking her shoulder vigorously to try and wake her. All of the other people were either too frightened, too inconsiderate, or simply did not notice, because they all ran past the now open doorway without pausing a moment to see if this girl would be okay if left sleeping on her own in an active warzone. The boy continued his efforts, getting rougher and rougher when it was clear that his efforts were in vain. He had no time to waste being gentle.<br/><br/>""Hey, wake up! Please, there's a-"" he began to shout, but he was interrupted by a loud, deafening roar just mere feet from outside of the village. A roar loud enough to rattle the windows. What the heck was that?! The boy instinctively stumbled backwards, falling onto his butt. It was a chilling cry that seemed to course through his entire body. It was a voice that he did not, under any circumstance, wish to find who it belonged too. He needed to just make sure this girl was okay and then try to get everyone a chance to escape. That was the best that he could do, being a mere human against what was clearly some sort of a monster.<br/><br/>The girl was groggy, but apparently when combined with the boy's jostling, this latest scream had finally been enough to rouse her into a state of half awakening. Her left eyelid lifted in order to survey her surroundings as she let out a light moan. The pupil was slit like a cat, slowly getting larger and more rounded to allow in more light from outside the window. They then became so large that they were almost indistinguishable from human pupils when one was in a state of shock. What she saw outside the window she could hardly believe. She jolted up into a sitting position in her soft bed, pushing the covers aside, barely even bother recognizing that she was somehow in an inn when she had fallen asleep out in the forest. That fact didn't matter at all to her brain as she tried to process what was going on before her. It was a large scale battle taking place in what she had considered to be a peaceful town from what she had seen of it the night before. How could war erupt here so quickly?!<br/><br/>Her light green wings and tail were now exposed, fluttering to life at what she was witnessing. They protruded out of her bare back, the girl's dislike of clothing so extreme that she had somehow managed to discard, in her sleep, the nightgown they had put on her before tucking her into bed. The boy averted his eyes, blushing, but he knew it was far too grave of a situation to allow himself to be flustered for very long. That was far to much of a waste of time. He turned back to her, extending a hand.<br/><br/>""There's been a surprise attack by the elves. We need to get you out of here, and-""<br/><br/>Evvie knocked his hand away with her own, still facing the window. She wasn't a mean person, and was in fact grateful to this boy, but she needed to get out there quickly, and he was now quite frankly in her way. Her eyes locked onto her emerald green bikini armor that lay at the foot of her bed. She swiftly scooped the two pieces up and clicked them into place behind her, all the while eyes darting across the battlefield to see where she would go first.<br/><br/>""Um...like, I said, we need to get ou-""<br/><br/>She gave him a sympathetic smile. Her wings twitched open and with a powerful flap she burst out of the window, paying no regard to the shattering glass that exploded all around her. None of it endangered the boy on the other side, and the ground below her was vacated of all terrified bystanders. The glass harmlessly clattered against the road, her feet landing down no more then half a second later. She popped her knuckles, eyes glaring at the beings who she was able to determine were her enemies. How dare they do so much damage and interrupt a perfectly good nap time. They were going to pay.<br/><br/>The boy watched her in shock, having no clue of this girl's power; how she had managed to get out of the window before he could even have time to react. His clothing and hair, as well as many objects inside of the room, rustled in the breeze she had made before settling down. It now looked like the room had been in a hurricane, equal parts her fault as well as the battle outside. His eyes blinked a couple times as he stared down at her, watching her advance towards the battle. Well, there was no way he was catching up with her pace. He didn't know what else to do so he darted from the room in search of more people that might need evacuation."

From behind a great roar echoed across the land followed by crashing and yet another roar. And then the sound of something being uprooted. Like a great stone was wrest from the ground below, Sukoh slowed and turned his side to look properly at the noise. His right side was more than exposed to the great monster's attack.<br/><br/>That's when it struck him, a boulder the size of a buick crashed into the great bear's side. It hit him like a cannonball hits a fat man's stomach, the shockwaves rippled across his hide and when the force had all been transfered Sukoh was sent rolling. The bear tumbled three times crashing into the outer wall of the township, shattering it like it were made out of mud, his feet replaced themselves on the ground at the height of the third roll. The bear wheezed, it had struck him in his ribcage and his lung was probably bruised. A boulder thrown by somthing that big was incredibly painful, even to someone as big as Sukoh. The right side of his face tensed up as he hefted his incredible bulk upwards into the sky, standing impressively over the town he snarled. ""The dark beast! Evil of other worlds! If you wish to fight me, then you shall have a fight!""<br/><br/>In his absolute greatest height he slammed down on the ground paws first, the earth beneath his feet sunk deeply into the earth. The monster had attacked Sukoh, and though he was concerned about the well being of the people he had to stop the beast first. A persistent and evil menace that had attacked him was now within a few hundred yards of him and the city. It had just hit him hard enough to almost break his ribs, Sukoh feared to find out what it could do to a human being. At least there were others to fight the evil elf, Sukoh was the only thing big enough to fight this monstrosity.<br/><br/>The bear shrugged off the pain burning in his right side and began shaking his bulky fat, waving his head and body side to side. Every hair on his body, every pound of fat, they all wove back and forth. This was an intimidation tactic, specifically for making one look bigger than they actually are. Which, combined with Sukoh's massive size, is an impressive feat. His mouth hung open and he let out several deep and guttural grunts, taking a couple steps forward. ""You will not hurt these people!"""

The force of the throw hurled the bear into the palisades -stake wall as the lesser races called it- smashing them asunder. The bear beast soon recovered from the surprise blow however, and then rose on its hind legs, towering over the walls as if they were hardly more than a low fence. It stood even taller than Snarnorgul‘s considerable size; Tanar'ri guessed that the creature outweighed him by a great deal. The bear certainly had Snarnorgul outclassed in size. But was he stronger? Snarnorgul would soon find out. If any of this daunted the colossal titan however, Snarnorgul did not show it. In fact he was beside himself with glee, anticipating the bloody battle too soon commence. He was now exiting the woods entering the more open farmland that surrounded the town. The battle was still raging on the town’s borders between the centaurs and blood elves. They gave way before Snarnorgul's charge however, and he crushed underfoot those who were not quick enough. He swung this way and that, sending centaurs, and the rare elf, into the air in his mad rage.<br/><br/>He did not stop for any of them to pay them any heed, for now the bear had ceased is running and waited his fury! Mentally projecting his force in a great roar he announced his arrival.<br/><br/><i>'Make Way Mortals! Make way before the might of Snarnorgul! The Great and Terrible!'</i>He boasted proudly for all those willing to hear. Even his mind voice was guttural and sounded as if it was full of malice and ill intent.<i>'The Gods have weighed the value of your loves and found it wanting! For behold! Disaster has come upon you!'</i><br/><br/>His feet shook the ground with each footfall digging up clouts of dirt mixed with soil. Steam shot from his nostrils as saliva mixed with toxic acids flew away from his maw and dripped from his fangs. His eyes gleamed with a red fire, his muscles tensed as he sprinted forward. Snarnorgul bowed his head in the direction of his enemy, bearing his horns toward him, he made sure to clutch his chin close to his chest, a tactic to assure any impact would not cause his neck to snap. He would gore and maul this beast of the forest in his charge. He registered in the back of his mind that he might have been served better to soften up his foe from afar with more missles where he could find them. But Snarnorgul brushed aside such thoughts; a straight forward attack was all he would need. To feel each crash of claw on flesh, too feel the blood spill onto it's hide and horns.<br/><br/>Both bear and Tanar'ri were no doubt terrifying images in the minds of onlookers all round. A wide birth had already been given to both combatants. By now the Tanar'ri was only several yards away. With every intent to use his gathered momentum for an earth shattering charge. He doubted the bear was agile enough to dodge him, but a agile foe might have sprung away in time. The bear had the weight advantage, but Snarnorgul had the running start. He would charge into Sukoh with the force of a locomotive. Seeking to barrel him the rest of the way into the town and hopefully into a building behind him. His long horns and tusk would no doubt deliver ugly wounds upon the great bear, how much this would harm it overall Snarnorgul could only guess.<br/><br/>If the charge was checked, Snarnorgul already had his larger upper armed stationed on each side of his head too ward to block any blows forth coming."

He was not to be disappointed, for he could make out the gigantic ursine foe on the outskirts of town. He delighted in the fact that he may indeed do battle with a foe so large, a skull that would soon be added to his own depository necklace.<br/><br/><b>""Like a crown you say?! I will your your jaws like a crown when you bite my head off! COME MY FOE! COME TO DANCE WITH THE DEVIL!""</b><br/><br/>Suddenly, he saw a large boulder come from further out and slam into the large foe! Dynoz' creature had arrived and made its presence known to a foe of equal stature.<b>""Chop him up for meat!""</b>Adinraen screeched loudly.<br/><br/>Adinraen let more of his energy permeat the earth, extending it out to a gracious four hundred feet in radius. The town was not overly large, but Adinraen still had a ways to go before the nature of the land was under his control, under his domination.<br/><br/>Off in the distance, the window of an Inn was blown out. It caught his attention, and like a light he leapt from the statue and onto another building. As he moved, so did his Area of Domination; it moved to keep him at the epicenter of it. But, as he did so, land he already dominated left his control; every foot he took, he gained in the direction he was heading, but lost behind him - so that his range didn't extend prematurely. Gain and loss, gain and loss.<br/><br/>He ran quickly and steadily, still well within the range he would have been anyway. Perhaps this foe was strong, perhaps it would put up a great fight while he waited for the Sukoh, oh how joyful!"

Aurora is a strange place, filled with an energy only the Angar-Ryllan's can truly see. For the time being, they will not attempt to invade again; the Maelstrom has proved too difficult. If you go now, and seek revenge and <b>succeed</b>, they may turn their attention once more to Aurora. They are not above revenge themselves.""<br/><br/>""You seem to hold revenge in a negative light.""<br/><br/>""I am not a Dragonborn.""<br/><br/>""Indeed. Now send me beyond.""</i></center><br/><br/>Vera Threi Shivan reflected on that chance meeting, for a moment cautious of her decisions to leave Aurora in search of Angar-Ryllans, or a force that could oppose them. As she was now, and with a distinct knowledge of one's own capabilities, Vera knew well that an empire spanning so called ""stars"" was not something that could be felled by the breath of a single dragon. She needed aid, someone else who shared her sentiment. In the end, that force was not to be found in this place ""Sortarius"". It was much too like her own world of Aurora, and with a distinct lack of power similar to the Bulwark.<br/><br/>Certainly the troll that hung limp in her jaws, blood and shredded flesh sliding off into the underbrush cemented her conception of how unimpressive this world was. With a flick of her long neck and a chomp, she severed the thick hide and fat body in half, and gulped down the flesh that was trapped in her maw. Its head and legs splattered on the ground, but she paid no mind. The sound of a distinct<i>human</i>cry in the distance had caught her attention away from the hunger she had satiated. Rising above the treeline, she caught the faint smell of blood, small but definite. There was a battle starting, evident by the blood, but given how quickly more of it began to accumulate in the air, she could tell it was not simply a scuffle. A band of raiders was attacking.<br/><br/>Vera stretched her massive wings over the canopy and beat them twice, disturbing a flock of birds that had deduced she was originally no threat to their small size. The town in the distance had granted her shelter earlier in the night, being quite dazed after having warped from Aurora with aid of a certain transporter. They offered her a bed and some food, but having since recuperated, she declined their offer of sustenance and flew off into the mountains beyond. Their measly offerings of bread couldn't possibly satisfy her belly. Within hours she found a wandering cave troll and swiftly butchered it, vastly greater in size and strength. It was like a goat to a lion for her, despite the fact that in her human form it could easily crush her under its weight.<br/><br/>Whatever was going on in the town, Vera felt a small sense of duty towards their safety. The possibility of discerning better what this world was capable of, too, enticed her. With a single great lunge, she took off into the air and soared for the plains in the distance, and unleashed a sky-rumbling roar to signal her approach."

Almost striking distance for Sukoh but not quite. Though it was charging at him it wasn't like a mad bull, this thing was intelligent, its shoulders were held just so to protect its head and its tusks were pointed forward for the best goring position. This thing was certainly no wild animal, an intelligent but cruel creature. Using its intelligence to hurt those around it for its own sick amusement. Ending its life is the only blessing he can bestow upon its wretched existence.<br/><br/>Without thinking Sukoh reared up again, hiking his body up to its absolute greatest height before the beast collided with him. Both of his paws raised upwards and claws bared ready to dig into this foe. ""Evil being! Face the wrath of Sukoh!"" Even though his words would not pass the ears of a being that could not understand his tongue, his words were roars loud enough to deafen so it didn't really matter. It still got the point across quite well.<br/><br/>In the distance however, only visible because he rose upwards. A flying beast was in the sky, something large, something very large was flying this way. As he saw it a roar met his ears, different from the one the monstrosity let out. A dragon's call? Dragons were not uncommon to Sukoh, but to see one at a time like this was odd. There were many personalities among dragons, some evil some kind. Sukoh might have even wished a little that this dragon was a kind one, to help the defenseless ones in the town from the other being. Sukoh's attention, however, was wrest back to the Snarnorgul before him.<br/><br/>Sukoh's teeth bared and his claws flexed, he was going to try and end this battle as quickly as possible. As the aberration rampaged towards him the ground beneath Sukoh's feet trembled. It had no respect for the lives of those around it, no decency. It trampled enemy and friend alike, the bear's eyes welled with tears at the sight of such meaningless violence. Before it entered his reach Sukoh let every single pound of his weight drop down on top of it. If his great mass struck at terminal velocity it would be devastating. Two foot long claws and several thousand pounds being swung downwards like a hammer. Even the toughest of foes would crumble at an attack like this. Sukoh hoped."

At first Snarnorgul imagined it was attempting another display of intimidation, for surely knocking it off two legs would prove far easier than if it was braced on all fours. It realized to late, from the way it flexed it's claws, that it sought to crush him under it's great mass. He might have loosed a great roar himself to incapacitate the bear during the maneuver, but it would require stressing his lungs more than he was currently able too. But the wily predator had a trick up his sleeve his prey would never see coming. Indeed, it would not even be visible to the naked eye. He projected another mental shout, but this one was more focused and powerful in scope, he then sent this mental scream like a ripple through a body of water toward Sukoh just as Snarnorgul entered within 60 feet of it. Sending all his hate, and malice into that one mind blast.<br/><br/>The ripples would pound into Sukoh's mind like a tidal wave of pure psionic energy. Hopefully stealing strength from it's great frontal stomp, as Snarnorgul had met few beings with psionic powers, he expected the bear would be quite of guard to say the least. Such a tactic would not likely work a second time, for the bears mind would be slightly more resistant to a mind blast for some time, as such attacks relied on surprise. With it's focus broken or not, Snarnorgul bent forward at the last moment to bring it's curved horns to bare planted upward. If Sukoh still fell forward he would impale himself on over 3 feet of razor sharp diamond hard horn. Even a blunt sword would pierce deeply with so much weight baring down. Snarnorgul also made certain that his head was bowed toward it's center mass, hopefully where it's heart should be.<br/><br/>Snarnorgul was determined to destroy this creature that would DARE stand and oppose him, thus, as if these precautions might not be enough. Snarnorgul aimed his massive pincers for the under arms of the bear beast, robbing it of the chance to bring the full brunt of it's claws to bare. At that point there was no more time for last minute adjustments, and certainly too late to turn back now. Snarnorgul would ram directly into Sukoh, over 5,000 pounds of force smashing into a mass weighting many more times that. A resounding clap like thunder would ring out from the clash of two titans.<br/><br/>It was the aged old question asked again once more, which would prevail. The Immovable object, or the unstoppable force?"

It was clear that it was the bear who was on her side in this confrontation, or at the very least an enemy of her enemy. Even someone of her humble intellect could deduce that. That being said she wanted to help him if at all possible, but there were plenty of obstacles in her way. It was true that she could easily fly over them, but it wasn't that she was physically stopped. She simply couldn't bear (sorry) to pass them up without doing something about it. The scene below her was absolute horror as helpless civilians ran through the streets, trying desperately but failing to escape the hunting pack of wolf riding elves that came charging through the streets, nipping at their heals and shouting out yelps that held a combination of malice and eagerness. They were enjoying themselves, toying with the humans before cutting them down like cattle. The lucky ones at the front of the group managed to dart into a building, slamming the door shut just as a middle aged woman holding a baby managed to leap in at the last second. Unfortunately a locked door wouldn't protect them for very long. Not against these blood thirsty savages.<br/><br/>These elves didn't just cause Evvie to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. It was more like they kicked her off, ate all of her food, then mocked her abilities for good measure. Her slitted pupils took on a animalistic, vicious look as she stared them down, the dragon half of her personality boiling upwards along with her internal flame. She let out a battle cry, leaping towards them at full speed. Their heads all jerked up all at once, giving them just enough time to see her flame wash over them. The two elves closest to her that got caught on fire let out horrified screams as the heat instantly burned away much of their frail looking flesh. They tore at their burning clothing but their armor could not be removed so easily, trapping them in this rapidly heating armor prison. They tumbled off of their mounts in their desperate struggle, and with the animals now free they bucked around to try and remove the flames that alit their backs, but this obviously did them no good. One of them crashed face first into a brick wall as it blindly surged forward while the other ran for it's life down the road, where it would soon succumb to it's burns before it would get very far.<br/><br/>Evvie ignored the desperate pleas from the dying elves. She didn't have time to focus on any mercy killings and they were no longer a threat to her, so she leapt over their flailing bodies to combat with the other two elves that had somehow reacted quickly enough to dodge backwards from her flames, receiving only second degree burns at most. A wolf snapped at her as she came down but she was faster, axe kicking his skull and killing it instantly. The elf was thrown off balance as his mount collapsed, sending his sword swing hopelessly off course. She stepped up onto the wolves shoulder and used that to vault upwards, punching him underneath his chin and snapping his head back. He bent backwards, draped limply across the hindquarters of the dead wolf with his head bobbing around at an awkward angle. The forth elf tried to joist at her from behind but she quickly darted off to the side. The spear lodged itself into the hide of the wolf. Realization clearly set in that he had just made a huge mistake, for he had no time to draw his sword in time to repel Evvie at such a close distance. She spun around, her right leg smashing into his torso, breaking his left arm and ribcage and sending him flying off into the wall of a building. Dead or merely unconscious she didn't know, but there was no way he'd be up to fight again, not for a long while. His wolf tried to bite her as he let loose a ferocious snarl, and she had just enough time to grab onto his jaws with both hands. She let loose her own cry to match his, and after a brief struggle and quivering of muscles coming from both sides she gained the upper hand. The wolf's paws skidded against the road as it was pushed backwards, slowly at first but then at high speeds as she was able to lift it completely up and slam it against the brick wall with all of her strength, enough to break off some of the bricks into an impression of the wolf's now dead body. By now the deranged cries of the burnt elves had gone silent, their lives more then likely extinguished, unlike the fire that still roasted their bodies.<br/><br/>""Run,"" she said to the civilians who had just peaked out the doorway to see what all of the commotion was about. They might be killed if they stayed here for much longer. They acknowledged this fact and, hesitantly and disgustedly at first, skirted around the lifeless bodies and began to rush for the nearest safe place, preferably far out of town as they could get. Another hunting pack was racing out to meet them but she stood firmly in their way. Unlike the group she had ambushed this one managed to put up a better fight. She opened up her jaws and unleashed her fire breath yet again but they were prepared for it this time and managed to get their wolves to lunge out of the way just in time, hardly loosing any momentum as they reached her. Claws, teeths, hands, and feet were rapidly flailing around as she and the wolves fought tooth and nail against each other, and it looked like she was still winning when all of a sudden one of the rider managed to grab her from behind, wrapping his left arm around her abdomen with inhuman strength and his right around her head and hair, almost yanking it from it's roots as he scooped her up by it. Her licked her cheek as his face moved in close to her's.<br/><br/>""Well what do we have here,"" he whispered into her ear. ""And here we thought the other group had been attacked by the dragon we had sensed earlier, but it's just this little runt instead. Well, it's not all a lost. Looks like I can have some fun with this one. Your body is far more interesting then these human scum, after all. How about you stop resisting, and I'll treat you nice and-eeeaaaaAAAAAHHHHHH!""<br/><br/>He let out a loud shriek as Evvie managed to raised her head up and clamp down onto his neck with her sharp canine tooth, jerking her head to rip to skin open. He clutched at his bleeding neck, whimpering like a frightened girl and allowing her to escape his grasp. As soon as she did so her wings snapped downwards, pushing air and dust against all of the elves who surrounded her as she raised upwards past their weapons before they could recover from this surprise and stop her. A few took wild swings at her feet as she flapped overhead, but she was long gone. The elf with the blood gushing out of his neck collapsed limply against his wolf, not able to stem the tide of his life's energy flowing from his veins, quickly causing him to expire. The other elves and wolves had bruises of their own but were still in fighting capacity, 3 elves and 4 wolves in all.<br/><br/>She landed on a rooftop next to them. They were far too focused on her now to bother in the slightest to chase down the civilians from earlier. They clearly wanted her dead. Badly. She couldn't blame them, and she felt the same towards them. She had been so focused on that battle that she just now noticed a dragon flapping their way. A dragon!!! This was good news, as long as it was a friendly dragon. She would be leaping up and down like a giddy schoolgirl under different circumstances. Another fast approaching person also caught her eye at this time. He was quite unlike the random foot soldiers she had just fought. This could be trouble. Five centaurs managed to make their way over to the street by now, three men and two women, and they were charging in to fight the remaining elves. Good. She had bought enough time for the cavalry to arrive. She felt like she could trust them to handle the elves so she set her sights on this new guy, getting into a battle stance with her legs shoulder length apart and fists held at the ready."

The first pain was in his head, an attack on his mind from some unknown source. Though the likely source of this assault is the monster he was fighting, how powerful was this creature? The pain washed over him like a storm inside his skull, it was so excruciating that his vision went blurry. All of the force behind his attack, however, was not lost. Sukoh was using barely any of his muscle in the first assault, all of it was his weight being let fall. As every single pound of his bulk fell upon the monstrosity another pain pierced through his whole body.<br/><br/>That freak of nature had prepared for his attack in what short time it had, the twin horns each of them as long as swords jabbed inside of his chest. But this creature had not anticipated how thick Sukoh's bulk was. Horns digging deeply into his flesh were a painful event no doubt, but five feet of fat was more than enough to protect him from their intended deadly strike. His skin reached the base of the horns on top of the creatures head and its claws dug into the area beneath his arms. Blood was released from every wound he received flooding out by the liter and staining the head of the snarnorgul and the ground below with their crimson tinge. His legs missed their target and landed upon the ground on either side of the ghoulish beast. The pain he was in was enough to kill lesser beings, but Sukoh was not a lesser being. The position that the elf-summon had placed itself in was one of no leverage. But for Sukoh? Well he had all the leverage in the world.<br/><br/>Horns buried in his flesh were painful but with them there Sukoh didn't have to worry about the creature moving an inch. Every pound of his weight was placed on top of its head, and he knew that his foe had not thought about this outcome. Sukoh hadn't either, but fortune shines in some of the strangest ways. Though his head still screamed in agony his body moved on pure instinct, both of his forelegs dug into the ground and held firm. The snarnorgul wasn't going anywhere if Sukoh had a say in it. If he kept him here until the dragon got close, he could get the dragon to help the people. Without the people concerning his thoughts he could focus solely on this beast, and with every thought devoted to slaying him the mutant would stand no chance."

Snarnorgul's horns dug deeply into the beast’s chest. However, he had not expected the shear layer of fat between him and the creatures bones and organs. Indeed this beast was heaver then he looked, he had underestimated its mass. Had he not prepared his head for the climatic clash, his neck would have been in danger off snapping under such weight. But not all the weight had rested on his head, as its pincers dug deeply into the creatures under arms.<br/><br/>He huffed out a steam of breath, momentarily immobilized by the great mass of fat. While Snarnorgul might not have expected such dead weight, Sukoh would not have expected his astounding strength, as well as Snarnorgul's raw intellect or savagery.<br/><br/>""Ah, so you possess some girth do you? All the better to satisfy my hunger!"" Snarnorgul huffed from bellow the dire animal. ""Do you think you can immobilize Snarnorgul the Mighty? You will make a fine meal with the humans here serving as my dessert after!""<br/><br/>With that great boast it snapped down both of it's powerful pincers, cutting deeply into the under arms of the bear. The each possessed the strength to tear into metal and steel with ease, such flesh even though thicker than most creatures proved no challenge for them. He aimed his ministrations toward the area of it's triceps, as this was near the point in where the arms joined with the body, there was less fat, but he would still need to dig to reach what he was aiming for. The mind blast had meant to dull the creatures mind so it would be even less likely to note the significance of Snarnorgul place his upper arms under the bears own upper limbs. Assuming it had intelligence on par with a human of course.<br/><br/>The pincers would continue to cut into Sukoh's underarms, eventually slicing into and passed it's triceps until it reached the teres tendons underneath. No doubt this would be excruciatingly painful but from this position Sukoh had few means in which to retaliate. Snarnorgul great arms were also still supporting the bulk of the bears weight as the pincers went to work opening and closing, slowly digging deeper. They had not long to go to their goal however, two perhaps three such cuts would sever the tendons there. Which would rob the bear the use of its upper arms, or at least severely limit them. Snarnorgul would be impressed if it could stand on them with all it's weight ever again.<br/><br/>Still he could not hold such weight forever, not after the run he had gone through, but long enough to finish his bloody work. If this torture was not enough, the bear had the misfortune of having it's entire lower belly open to any savagery his lower arms minded to dish out. He had soon loosed a storm of cuts upon their collision, slashes, jabs, ripping all cutting deeper and deeper through the formidable hide his counterpart titan possessed. A much slower pace, of course, but much more satisfying, he even golfed down a handful of bear flesh to sate his hunger, if not his blood lust, giving him a momentary second wind. The wet sounds of flesh being torn, and hopefully, the anguished protest of Sukoh created the most beautiful of composition like notes being played on an instrument, and too Snarnorgul twisted mind, it sounded like the most beautiful melody he had ever composed. Unless of course Sukoh managed to avoid this close ranged assaults, pinned as they were.<br/><br/>Snarnorgul might not have been able to move at this moment, but why would he want too? Several tons of weight was child's play if he could keep his arms pinned where they were, and Sukoh did not defy gravity to then suddenly spine in the air like a top to break his neck."

Measly arrows pricked into her scaled hide, bouncing off or remaining barely embedded until a simple breeze blew them away. They were but thumbtacks attempting to bury themselves into steel. For the time being, she ignored the beasts she had sensed brawling in the forest. It did not seem, initially, that they were specifically allied with anyone in the town's two factions. With a quick glance beyond, she could see that it was the human settlement and some aiding centaurs against the vile forces of an elven raiding group. Their canine mounts bristled upon their manes as she approached, and being just ahead, her wings beat dust and debris into the eyes of those unprepared.<br/><br/>The ground shook when her body hit the ground. Her legs bent to absorb the shock and her wings folded close to her long back. Despite her size, some of the elves thought themselves powerful enough to try and assail her; for what reason she could not discern. Perhaps they were simply too blood-crazed? Maybe they were so foolish as to believe their strength against puny humans could hold true against her. But the answer was meaningless as she simply swept her hand and crushed their armor inwards or flung them like projectiles into nearby buildings. For a moment, both centaurs, elves, and humans paused in her presence, but quickly realized they were still face-to-face with their enemy, and continued to fight. Only one deviated from the battle and quickly sprinted to Vera.<br/><br/>""Vera! Vera! Thank god you're here!"" It was the man who offered her food and shelter earlier the previous night, a middle aged individual with a well-kept beard and a family of four. He was slightly bloodied and carried a single shortsword in his hand, but bore no armor of any kind, save for his tanned peasant cloth. ""Please, I beg of you to help us! These elves of Dynoz are brutish murderers! The centaurs have come to aid us, but I fear even that may not be enough to save our village!"" Vera glanced at the wreckage of elven bodies she had accumulated in a single swing and laughed, a small ember brightening in her maw as she did so. Perhaps it was simply because she was still used to rolling around in the sky with another dragon that the creatures of this world seemed so pitiful, and it seemed strange for a moment that the humans would have trouble.<br/><br/>Vera nodded as she agreed to help, ""Certainly. You kindly offered me help during my daze, and I will repay it in kind."" Vera unleashed her wings and beat them once, lifting her body up and over the man and landed with a crash in one of the village squares, crushing a few elves in the process. With tooth, nail, and tail, Vera procedurally quelled the waves of elves that valiantly prodded at her sides with countless blades. She considered for a moment that maybe it was unnecessary of her to go out into the woods to find food; there was so much right here, and it walked right up to her! For the moment she retained her breath of fire, careful not to set aflame the very town she was protecting. In the air she sensed a faint scent of dragon, but it was nothing like that of her own kind. Still it interested her, and she lifted her head above the houses to scout out the surrounding area, oblivious to the elves who clamored below.<br/><br/>Facing its own entourage of elves, a dragon-like human stood in the town. Her back bore clearly draconic wings, and so Vera resolved the girl must have been half-dragon. With another wing-lifting bound, she hurled herself over the buildings and landed at the girl's side. At the time, she seemed to have disposed of the elves in her area, but was readying for another more peculiar elf.<br/><br/>""You look and smell of a half-dragon young girl, are you not?"" Vera's voice boomed, stern but with a faint sense of kinship within."

This was bad, very bad, if things kept going at this rate then his arms were going to be severed at the joint and his guts would be spilled on the battlefield before any real combat could be had. There really wasn't much choice as to what he was going to do next. If he tried batting at it with his legs he'd just serve to further allow this beast movement and access to his vitals. The bear winced as he realized this thing was literally eating him alive. Eating him. . .Eating him?<br/><br/>""You dare consume the meat of Sukoh!? I shall have your flesh for dinner, monster!"" The roar was a combination of desperation, anger, and brutal pain. This sadistic beast was a real thorn in his side. Except not his sides but his underbelly and underarms, so the saying is kind of off. The bear saw the dragon fly overhead and into the town, perfect! Now the innocent were sure to be safe from danger, Sukoh's focus was now solely on the creature below him. And his head was easing off from the mental assault, and his thinking was perfectly clear on what he had to do. The spines on its shoulders were pointed downwards because its arms were held up, and its back was well armored. Below, however, he saw the perfect opportunity for retaliation. This thing intended to eat Sukoh? It'd have to out eat a mouth that was almost half the size of the snarnorgul itself.<br/><br/>With one swing of its head downwards Sukoh positioned its mouth in the position to clamp down on the hindquarters of this monster. With a resounding snap of its jaws closing around the softer flesh of the ass end of his foe Sukoh had the creature in its grasp. With enough force to crush a heavily armored tank he chewed on the exposed flesh of his victim. And if that didn't distract the creature then I don't know what will."

A new combatant must have entered the area, and as he turned in the general direction of it - he saw what it was. A gigantic dragon had appeared and was flying towards the town. Now, he had the choice of a Bear, a window breaker, and now a actual dragon. Adinraen could barely contain his excitement at the turn of events. It didn't cross his mind that he had no one to stand at his side - either of them, as he rushed towards one foe and had another on his tail.<br/><br/>He decided, for the moment, to stop putting his energy into the earth to expand his circumference. At the moment, he had a radius of four hundred feet, and that would be well enough for what he needed. They were all within range of his domination, literally standing on his battlefield.<br/><br/>As he looekd forward, he could see what had broken the windows. A woman was standing atop one of the building, presumably ready to do mortal combat with the insane Demon Elf. He sheathed his Ring Blade and landed four buildings away from the woman, standing on the far edge, watching her as she stood there. Off in the distance, he could hear the terror as men, women, and elves were all sent flying by the gigantic dragon's beating wings. It wasn't long before the dragon had graced the pair with its large presence, choosing to side with the half dragon wench that was prepared for a fight.<br/><br/>Adinraen stood there and removed his two Bone Blades from their sheathes, and began to manipulate the earth in his domain. It was a subtle manipulation, something he didn't need to use right away but would very soon.<br/><br/><b>""Two dragons,""</b>Adinraen remarked,<b>""Or should I say... one and a half. It seems the human really was lying,""</b>Adinraen toyed with the corresponding head,<b>""there seems to be a great many foe here for us, with exceptional power.""</b>He began to sway back and forth, preparing himself to move at the slightest provocation. He didn't know anything about his two opponents, but knew for the moment, he would be fighting alone.<br/><br/><b>""Which one fo you will fall first? Will it be the big one, or the little one? How about this.. we play a game... can you catch the Demon Elf?""</b>With a wink and a smile, the Demon Elf fell backwards off the building, landing softly on the ground. They were still in his territory. If they gave chase, he would lead them into a trap; but if they didn't, he would have to find another way to his his intellect in military strategy to best his foes.<br/><br/>He was sure Snarn would love a dragon brain."

At this rate his foe would surely be disarmed, perhaps literally, as well as disemboweled. Suddenly a sharp pain caused Snarnorgul to buck his head back ripping a wider wound across the bear’s chest in a savage line unconsciously pulling loose. It seemed this creature had found some means of retaliation after all. Jaws were snapping at his hindquarters ripping scales sending jolts of pain up his back causing his pelvis to crack from the pressure, focused under the area his formidable exoskeleton protected.<br/><br/>This was a most troubling turn of events, and until now Snarnorgul had not even imagined this insufferable inferior creature was even capable of doing it any real harm. Now it seemed in danger of suffering a swift defeat if the situation was not reversed and soon. The odd angle meant he could not get his lower arms into position to defend against this humiliating attack. Snarnorgul snarled in protest and anger at the audacity of his enemy. He would not take such insult sitting down, or standing up as the cause would appear to be. Snarnorgul's upper massive limbs still held Sukoh aloft with pincers digging into flesh. Snarnorgul decided that a change of tactic was in order, thus Snarnorgul clamped down hard into the bear’s tendons. He then ripped his right arm loose with a savage pull which might tear away clumps of flesh and likely tearing an artery in the process. That was not his goal however, for even as he bent his right arm slightly, he quickly delivered a punishing elbow down at an angle aimed for the biting head at his lower back, the awkward bend of his goat-like legs eased the effort of the attack.<br/><br/>The strike would meet either neck or head, which it mattered little, for the way in which Sukoh had choose to bite him meant he had leaned within easy each reach of his elbow blow. With rock hard points of spine made of chitin and bone at its end, the attack might resemble a morning star being swung around on the head of a human. The force of this was easily akin to an anvil let full on a large balloon of water with the considerable strength of Snarnorgul. What might have otherwise been a decisive blow was somewhat anemic due to the lack of momentum aside from the downward fall. It would rock Sukoh with a powerful concussive force all the same, likely increasing whatever damage his mind blast might have inflected beforehand. Even after the single blow Snarnorgul would shoot his arm up again, his clutched princes stabbing into the same injured side they had clutched previously like a spear, before letting fall another jackhammer elbow strike to the beasts head.<br/><br/>The size of the bears head made it an easy target from this angle, and Snarnorgul doubted there was layers of fat enough around it's skull to weather such an assault. Snarnorgul in any case would continue this back and forth, quickly deforming the bears head or breaking jaws and bone should it's head remain in elbows each. All the while his left arm was still pressing down on the under arm of the bears right arm, threatening to snap it off at this point if nothing was done to prevent it. A single arm was all he needed to support the dire bear’s otherwise great weight."

Thrashing about and clawing much more violently. For as his mouth began digging into his weaker flesh it relinquished its grip on his left arm to attempt a somewhat futile assault. With its hand was withdrawn a massive chunk of his flesh but Sukoh's left arm was free. This was the only opening he needed. The bear's nearly crippled foreleg cracked and ruptured, sending blood spraying everywhere, but it had enough strength left in it for what he needed to do. With all the force left in it and his jaw clamped tightly around the lower half of the snarnorgul he shoved himself upwards, throwing his shoulders backwards to produce even more force to lift the monster upwards.<br/><br/>While he was doing this the creature brought its arm backwards, slamming a rock hard bony structure into the bottom of his jaw. The stony part crashed into the the left corner of his lower jaw, shattering the edge of his mandible. The ground bone splintered and even poked outwards through his skin. The fat wasn't nearly as thick, but it provided enough protection to not completely destroy his jaw bone. In fact his biting grip might have even been improved by the strike, forcing his teeth even deeper into the cretin's hindquarters. Sukoh was going to have to do this quickly, his vision was starting to go blurry from both the head trauma and the large quantities of blood he's been losing.<br/><br/>But if his pull was effective, then the monster was going to be hoist out from underneath his bulk and into the air. Preventing further damage to his underbelly and forelegs by keeping the creature out of reach. It would also make its entire body face away from Sukoh, because he was facing forward while underneath him. And once his body was safe he'd be able to finish the monster off with a vicious follow up."

Though to his surprise the dire bear seemed unperturbed by what was likely a broken jaw, somehow managing to remain steadfast. Once more it had begun to shift it's weight, attempting it seemed, to lift Snarnorgul off his hooves. Astonishingly it was attempting to use it's left arm to aid in the task of lifting it's own considerable weight and that of the Tanar'ri himself.<br/><br/>Beyond the fact it was using a limb with torn tendons, Snarnorgul still clutched tightly to the underarm of Sukoh's right leg. At this point the pincers had already dug past the layers of fat and was clamping down with an ironclad grip into sensitive muscles tissue and arteries. To pull him away with enough force to lift them would simply mean Sukoh's arm was coming along for the ride. Perhaps Sukoh had not considered this. Snarnorgul held on all the while Sukoh attempted to pull him free. It might have resembled a person trying to pull off a bothersome tick buried to deep. No doubt he was causing himself unimaginably immense pain, leaving Snarnorgul to wonder, at least with some grudging respect if not annoyance, at just how much punishment this creature was capable of stomaching before it reached it's limit.<br/><br/>Thanks to this grip however, Sukoh would be slow in moving the stubborn Tanar'ri whose own limb was not so weakened or pulling at such an odd angle. Thus giving just enough time for another savage elbow strike, aiming for the same spot as before and without the hindrance of having just pulled his pincers free of the bear’s arm it would strike with a tad more force. If it landed it would sunder it's mandibles even more. Suffice to say even with the bears mighty jaw strength Snarnorgul was not going to be crushed by it any time soon.<br/><br/>Still if Sukoh continued to pull with while Snarnorgul was clutching all the harder. Snarnorgul was likely to rent the arm from the bear’s great shoulders, no doubt sending blood spraying freely and bathing the ground in crimson. If the loss of a limb, after suffering all he wounds till now, did not send it into shock. Likely nothing would. Indeed, it had begun to bother the over proud fiend that there existed a creature with such a pain-threshold that seemed to outstrip his own. It took some kind of rare strength of will to maim oneself."

This was not going well, and Sukoh was starting to feel lightheaded. At this point he was unable to keep his left eye open, the pain was so great in that half of his face. With broken bones and a burning ache inside of his skull he was going to lose at this rate. What to do, what to do? There was something that bears did when they had a grip on something, but sometimes it would cause severe pain in their neck from doing it. Hell, at this point Sukoh was feeling nothing but pain, a little bit more wouldn't cause much of an issue. With teeth wrapped around this thing's pelvis and jaw locked in position, Sukoh began to rock his head back and forth slowly.<br/><br/>The rocking quickly turned into a violent head thrashing, his teeth and mouth tightening around the lower half of the tanar'ri. This would be a gambit that could cost him his life, Sukoh didn't care about his own life. Nothing mattered to Sukoh but the lives of others, not even his own well being. Even if he causes the damage this attack intends to do, it might be for nothing, since he's taken so many deep and grievous wounds. But none of that mattered, Sukoh was going to kill this thing no matter how great the cost. If he didn't stop it then the dragon would have to, and the Dragon didn't need two enemies to fight at the same time. Especially one as strong as this. So Sukoh's attack did not relent, it did not cease!<br/><br/>Every one of his injuries was burning hot right now, the blood was flowing from them like a fountain. Head spinning and shaking he could barely think straight, and yet he persisted. The horns digging so deeply into his body that he could feel them scraping against the bone, his claws were cutting at his tendons and arteries. Making all of his weight drop down on top of him even moreso, unable to support himself as fully anymore. At this point his head was basically twitching so violently that his entire body was wobbling, from head to hindquarters his body shook. With all this force being applied shaken around Sukoh had full intent of tearing the monster in half. And if this is left alone it will in fact happen, and that's all Sukoh can hope for at this point. Even if he failed, the monster would be crippled from having its bones crushed in the iron clad grip of Sukoh's jaw."

Those spectators on both sides had given the pair a wide berth, despite the pair having hardly moved from their spot just on the town’s edge. Humans on the walls we astonished at the display of power and ferocity by both sides, but knew not who to cheer for. Bowmen held their arrows in awe of the battle before them. At this point now the dire beast had begun a desperate and renewed attack as it now attempted to thrash about with his jaws still clutching the Tanar'ri. It had given up on pulling him back, but decided instead to pull back and forth. Bear teeth had by now dug into Snarnorgul scales tearing rudely into his tough hide. Blood had begun to drip down his legs, threatening to give out from under him already developing a hip pointer, painting the grass at their feet with black and the bears own crimson.<br/><br/>Growling with even more anger Snarnorgul patience had worn thin. He decided this contest had long since out grown its amusement. Judging from the act his enemy had chosen, Snarnorgul decided to rob the beast of as much flexibility in which to twist his head and thus Snarnorgul in the process. He snapped his right arm pincer under his opponents right arm once more as it breathed in sharply, with as close as the creatures body was too him he clutched on and dug his lower arm claws deeply into flesh. As with pulling back motion before Sukoh would be causing himself even more pain. If moving the Tanar'ri before with the aid of its torn limb had not proved successful before, shaking it about with a broken jaw would aid it little, at least it kept him on his feet. However, the violent shaking of his enemy had given Snarnorgul an idea.<br/><br/>With the bear’s body just inches from his mouth, his own jaws snapped open. Not to clamp down on the soft tissue of his foe, rather instead to unless a screeching roar like no other. However, it was unlikely his opponent would hear it, even the sharp ears of the elves around would not pick up even the immense levels of infrasound Snarnorgul had just unleashed. The intense pressure waves rocketed through the air, traveling into and 'through' Sukoh. At point black range Snarnorgul had loosed over 199db of sound waves. Causing extreme vibrations that would travel throughout the bear’s whole body. His layers of fat would prove no protection; in fact they likely sealed his fate. Sound waves passing through his organs would cause them to vibrate violently, which included the heart fluid-filled organ, lungs gas-filled membranes, and the abdomens variety of liquid, solid, and gas-filled pockets. All of these structures would vibrate at different rates and each had limits to how much they could stretch when subjected to such force, if the sound wave hit, as likely it would, and they would stretch and shrink in time with the low-frequency vibrations of the air molecules around them.<br/><br/>In the simplest of terms Sukoh's organs would be bouncing around in a lake of fat. His heart would rupture some of the arteries and vines as it pulled and shook in dozens of directions. The most interesting effect would be on the lungs, which would cause Sukoh to involuntarily take in a breath. The effects of this type of whole-body vibration coupled with his opponents already violent spasms would cause crippling problems, ranging from bone and joint damage within short time to of course inducing a range of symptoms, from nausea, and vomiting, to the rupturing of internal organs and even death unless something as done. In essence Snarnorgul had turned his opponent’s greatest strength, their great fat and mass, into their greatest weakness. Even after the scream had ended, aftershocks of vibrations echoing through the bear’s fat would continue. The bear's insides would soon be reduced to jello.<br/><br/>From that point on it was a matter of continuing to grasp onto Sukohs body to thwart it's attempt to throw him about. If his opponent was secretly a magical construct with flesh built about it, or needed no muscles or organs to move and live, this is when Snarnorgul would find out in a most troubling way."

Sukoh's eyes rolled backwards and every single pound of his body went limp and fell on the tanar'ri. The bear's hind legs had been holding up a good bit of his weight since the beginning of the fight, and now they had bent to his foe. Though he had dealt significant damage to his opponent his body was not built to fight this kind of enemy, such raw evil was too great for even this pure of a spirit. His innards scrambled and more than half of his blood spilled to the ground he fell in battle to the snarnorgul.<br/><br/>Before his last breath was cast his jaw slid open and he muttered out a weak cry for someone to stop the monster, anyone. Though not many would hear it, it didn't really matter. Sukoh's lost blood and spinning head made this moment pretty much emptiness and silence, he couldn't even see as his head flopped limply downwards. Letting a good portion of whatever was thrown into his mouth fall out. A flood of blood and scrambled innards were sent careening from his mouth and onto the battlefield where elves and centaurs continued fighting. The awe-inspiring battle of colossi was quite finished at this point, with no fight left in him, and a lot of his own body not left in him. Sukoh dies."

She didn't know that the two approaching enemies would more then likely far overpower her if she was left on her own, so the addition of a dragon could be of great help. Evvie's eyes only were on the dragon for a brief moment before flicking back to the approaching elf. She nodded her head at her question, not deviating her gaze again.<br/><br/>""Yep!"" She said enthusiastically, just in case she didn't catch the head nod. She was oddly casual in the presence of another dragon, as if they were old friends simply hanging out. Odd that she mentioned her smell. She was used to the smell so didn't pay it much attention, but upon this being brought up she did notice how she wasn't the most cleanly individual around. Did all dragons smell like caked on mud, grass, and various other elements of nature had been smeared onto her body? She made sniffing sounds as she leaned in closer to the dragon's scales, but she didn't notice anything unusual. Perhaps her sense of smell wasn't as keen as that of full dragons.<br/><br/>Such antics didn't last much longer because the elf had closed most of the distance and was now standing relatively nearby, observing the two. He complimented Evvie's power, or at least she assumed that's what he said, but he used a pretty big word that she wasn't completely sure of. Although he was more then likely a horrible person, at least he had good taste to point this out. She would have flexed her muscles in response had this been a more light hearted confrontation. For now she just kept staring him down, waiting to see his next move. That move was to taunt her and step backwards, vanishing from view behind a building. Oh no you don't! She was good at playing catch, and in fact she never lost when playing with friends (besides one unfair match when they tricked her), so this man was clearly underestimating her. She glanced briefly at the nearby dragon, nodding her head in his direction to wordlessly say that she was going in. Without waiting for a reply that was exactly like she did, tile roofing cracking underneath her foot as she shoved off at full speed. Her wings flapped four times to allow her to keep her altitude as she crossed all four buildings separating the two. As she passed over the one the elf had escaped too, she looked down, and if he wasn't there, quickly glance to the left and right down the alleyway to see if he was running away. If she spotted him and there were no civilians around, she would open up her jaws and blast him with the full force of her fire breath. If not she would have no choice but to drop into the alleyway and search the buildings. It was unlikely he could have gotten so far in such a short amount of time that he wouldn't be in any of the nearby ones."

A haggard look graced his face; both of his daggers were dripping with blood, his hands shaking a little as he slumped down on the stoop.<br/><br/>Breathing slowly he plunged his daggers into the wood, lowering his head into his hands, quiet for a moment as the winds swished around him. Exhaling he scratched his ear, rubbing some blood away he stood up and pulled his daggers from the wood. Acid burned the wood with ease and the lightning scorched and fried the wood.<br/><br/>Somewhere out there were two dragons, a prize worthy of any elf. Even better was the fact that he was not alone, oh no, the Demon Elf was in the town somewhere, and his very presence would stack the odds in favor of the elves.<br/><br/>It was at that moment that Dynoz realized that the bellows of the behemoths had ended. A frown crossed his face as he turned and stared at a palisade, trying to see through it to no avail. Either the bear lay dead or Snarnorgul did…or perhaps both.<br/><br/>Shaking his head, he bared his teeth at a gaggle of humans who were working their way towards an exit. The cowed and battered humans, defeat in their eyes as they scurried away like the rodents they are.<br/><br/>With a low hiss, the elf leaped atop a low roof and managed to climb up higher. Crouching, he spotted the larger dragon, and then the smaller one flapping wings and racing off, presumably after the Demon Elf. Cocking his head, he listened for anything that would tell him where they went. Dropping down to the hard-packed streets, Dynoz took off at a good clip, easily covering the distance, zig-zagging to avoid the dead and the debris that littered the town.<br/><br/>Having covered nearly 80% of the distance between where he was and where he spotted the little dragon he paused and dropped low, sniffing the air and tuning his ears he caught scent of her. A wolfish grin crossed his lips, exposing his unnaturally long canines as he adjusted his grip on his daggers."

Snarnorgul back was no longer supported by the creatures head, causing them to both fall backward. The earth shaking in a resounding crash as the great mass of two titans hit the ground beneath them. Snarnorgul had managed to shift it's wight roughly to his right at the last moment. He laid there for some time, the pain at his midsection hinted h would not be moving anytime soon. A piece of bone had managed to jute through his scales, midnight black blood still bleeding from a row of wounds. Snarnorgul growled in frustration but he rested in knowing he had at least completed it's given task. The Tanar'ri had survived worst, but the damage to his pride was more significant. The bear had fought well, managing to deal nearly crippling. In the end however it's many wounds had proven to much for it. Leaving the Tanar'ri partly under the great mass of his fallen foe.

He knew one, or both, of his freshly taunted foes would be after him within moments. Quickly, he turned on his heels; racing down one of the many alleys that would cause the dragons to have to give chase from above, making it an aerial to ground battle - or both would have to make it to the ground. It would be interesting to see if the large dragon had the ability to become somewhat humanoid like her half-dragon friend.<br/><br/>As he raced through the streets, the first thing he did was anchor his domination, so that he had a steady area to work with. Moving too much would ruin the chase and make things too easy for him. He had a diameter of eight hundred feet to work in, more than enough for his plan of attack.<br/><br/>With that done, he quickly sheathed his Bone Blades and removed his Ring Blade, if the battle was to be aerial this would be the weapon to have -especially if he stayed in his area of domination. The lack of people around would have perturbed a normal being, but Adinraen liked it. It meant they were dead or dying - sadly it couldn't be because of him.<br/><br/>Adinraen came to a bit of a stop, turning and seeing his aerial dragon foe - it was the smaller of the two - coming after him. He readied himself, not knowing what the dragon lady would do next. He had already prepared a defense, as well as a way to move around the field all in the same go.<br/><br/>Within his area of domination, he could feel things moving - including the familiar foot steps of his leader, Dynoz. Perhaps Dynoz would benefit as well. His domination had given him plenty of effects, aside from being able to manipulate the area. His energies had become one with it - and he would exercise his cruel dominion to startling effects.<br/><br/>The dragon had come closer and obviously saw the circular blade wielding Demon. How did he know? Because there was a torrent of fire spewing from the half dragons mouth, coming straight for him. Normally, one would want to hide from a column of fire, but Adinraen was not the one for normal measures. Instead, he quickly rose his arms and all through his eight hundred foot diameter, which translated into an area of five hundred and two thousand six hundred fifty four feet, contained with a two thousand five hundred and thirteen foot circumference, and formed a multitude of pillars including one right in front of him to block the flames. Peppered throughout the area now, would pillars of all shapes and sizes - portals to him.<br/><br/>From behind the pillar, protecting him from harm, he rolled and launched with magnificent force, his Ring Blade towards Evvie. With the power, and his domination, it would clear about half the length of the flames within moments, but perhaps would not reach the woman by the time she stopped spewing the flames to move. It didn't matter, if Dynoz had took the signal, the woman would be done for soon. He was close and still coming, he couldn't be any less than ninety percent of the way towards them now.<br/><br/>But, should the Ring Blade strike true, the Dragon lady would need to deal with anything ranging from a nick, to a severed limb or artery, depending on the hit. Adinraen was already beginning to move - beginning to play his game!"

With her immense size, Vera did not stare leap about in the town's small spaces for fear of wrecking the human's homes even further. The half-dragon pursued what was originally to be her target as well, though her conscience had since stopped her. She had the option of reverting to human form, but amidst the chaos and uncertainty, she worried that such a stance would prove insufficient in dealing with her foes. She maintained her titanic size.<br/><br/>But something large and formidable caught her eyes. Something she thought would justify battling in her size; the monstrous being she had seen earlier upon arrival on wing. The disastrous form of its body, layered with armor and sporting numerous chitinous claws, she knew in that instance that it was her fateful opponent here. Giving one last glance into the direction Evvie had left, worried slightly but placing faith in her abilities, Vera took to wing and landed with a skid beside Snarnorgul, sniffing the blood and gore that coated him, noting the bear's carcass at his side. Certainly this<i>thing</i>was worth her sincere time if it could fell such an immense bear.<br/><br/>""Forgive me if my assumptions offend you, but your appearance and destructive nature indicate you side with these horrid elves,"" Vera stated, blowing a jet of flame from her nostrils, ""I would so love to engage in a battle befitting of my own size and strength.

She wasn't sure if he had personally killed anyone, but he certainly looked like it and was even more certainly a member of this elf army that was causing the problem. Therefore she didn't need to stop and question him; he didn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Unlike the weaker elves, this one somehow managed to avoid damage from her fire without actually dodging it. He then rolled into view from behind her fire and threw something at her. She continued flying forward as she had been previously, but with her next flap accelerated to her maximum speed in order to avoid the attack as best as she was able. It ever so slightly grazed the left side of her abdomen just above where her bellybutton was. Blood droplets splattered down onto the road, but it was not a very large, especially for her, so the wound would soon stop flowing. She continued flapping forward, her feet landing on the roofing tiles of the building in front of her. Her head jerked around to see the ring blade that had wounded her, then her eyes flicked to the elf who had thrown it, then to the approaching elf, this movement of her eyes happening within the second. No problem; just these two elves. The other ones who she had attacked a little bit earlier were now all dead after engaging in a short lived combat with the five centaurs. Those five were now storming in to fight with the elf who had thrown the ring blade, battle cries bellowing from their throats. She didn't want to miss out on the battle and give them all the glory.<br/><br/>She breathed fire into her right hand, molding it into the shape of a two foot long sword. She squatted down, preparing to pounce on him and lash out with her sword towards his neck in a horizontal swing going from right to left, this being in conjunction with the centaur's own attacks."

A mournful howl, similar to that of a wolf on the hunt, indeed were not the elves hunting the smaller dragon like wolves on a hunt?<br/><br/>Then the giant dragon took wing,<b>“Oh my pretty we shall find you soon enough. But for now the whelp will be our play thing…”</b><br/><br/>With a sudden burst of speed, Dynoz took off in a long, loping gait that easily ate the distance between them. His eyes focused on the form of Evvie, when a cadre of centaurs erupted before him. With a cackle he leaped and landed on the back of the last one.<br/><br/><b>“Thanks for the ride me boyo…I am afraid you must die now!”</b>And with that the startled centaur felt the acid dagger slip between his ribs, burning everything, turning the flesh and organs into a bubbling sludge.<br/><br/>As the centuar stumbled and fell, Dynoz had lept off him, landing among the others who were stopping to kill him, as they did, he rolled and used the lighting dagger to shock one, causing it’s body to burn slightly but the bold and brave centaur simply toppled over as cardiopulmonary arrest happened to his heart.<br/><br/>One of the centaurs stabbed down at Dynoz who was cackling as he rolled away from the spear, rising into a crouch to face the three. Two carried spears and the third drawing a bow and aiming for the elf, evil intent in his eye.<br/><br/>Everything slowed down a moment as the centaurs prepared to strike, confidant they would win this encounter. Sadly they would regret that train of thought as the elf rose and darted forward, rolling between the spears thrust at him, coming under the belly of one who he gutted with a wicked slash along the exposed stomach, with a scream as the acid sliced him open the centaur stumbled. The internal organs fell with a sickening slurp on the ground where the elf had been.<br/><br/>With a squeal of delight, Dynoz shot forward and plunged both daggers into the body of the other spear wielding centaur, and with a thought made both daggers burn with intense flames. The scent of burning flesh filled the air as the scrams of the dying creature accompanied it.<br/><br/>Turning, both daggers afire, the elf licked his lips as his eyes locked on the centaur with a bow, a grin spread across his lips.<br/><br/><b>“I know wot yer thinking lad. You have a bow and a scant 20 feet between us. You think you can kill me before I can get to you. The question you have ta ask yerself is wot happens if you miss?”</b><br/><br/>The centaur faltered a moment, and that was all Dynoz needed as he hurled a flaming dagger, the centaur fired missing wide as he ducked the dagger, trying to draw another arrow. But it was too late as flaming spike ripped into his neck, nearly decapitating him.<br/><br/>As the creature fell, Dynoz grabbed his other dagger and whipped around,<b>“Time for you lass…if Adinraen left anything for me to play with.”</b>"

Three human warriors stalked toward the site of the massive scaled fight. In the aftermath of the titanic battle they had left the walls to investigate. They soon reached the resting place of Sukoh, but closer inspection revealed another prone figure. One of the humans walked forward, a stick in hand, and began to poke the giant unmoving form of Snarnorgul.<br/><br/>His companion’s eyes shot wide with worry at their companion's action. ""Fatirc! Get away from there! We don't know if it's dead...""<br/><br/>The young man however ignored the advice and poked the body again...Nothing happened.<br/><br/>""I think they’re both dead...""<br/><br/>The other two looked at each other, the one who had spoken sighed slightly relieved. The other however was still doubtful and it showed. ""We should make sure, we have enough problems from the elves as it is, now need to add giant..whatever that is into the mix as well.."" He drew his short sword and walked over to the still seemingly dead Tanar'ri. He reached it's neck, pulling his sword back to stab it in the throat. A rain drop fell on his shoulder, and he flinched.<br/><br/>At that moment the Snarnorgul's blood red eyes shot open. The three humans jumped back in surprise mixed with panic. Snarnorgul's jaws snapped freeing it's devilishly long tongue to leap forth, coiling around the man’s arm, the hiss of acid burning flesh causing him to drop his sword. In the blink of an eye it retracted drawing him off his feet to a quick death within the snapping jaws of Snarnorgul. The two other humans were already ruining in fear followed by the death screams of their comrade.<br/><br/>With a rumbling growl the great Tanar'ri begun to rise, shoving aside the large corpse of his vanquished foe. Even as he did so his maw snapped down on the body caught in his powerful jaws. Consuming the dead human’s remains, Snarnorgul cast his eyes about. Noting the skirmish in the forest had all but ended, most of it moving into the town proper. The screams, shouting, and sounds of fighting within the town rose up like a choir, along with the steadily growing fire that was slowly consuming the houses within. Black smoke was rising into the sky like a dark beacon to the surrounding land. The smell of blood, ashes, mixed with the distinct scent of rain and moisture. A bloody smile graced his savage face as he laid witness to the carnage within. The promise of more carnage and death ahead gave Snarnorgul bliss high of joy.<br/><br/>Then suddenly the sound of beating wings from on high caught his attention and awoke him from his reverie. His heavy footfalls stored forward as he glimpsed the unmistakable form of a dragon descending toward him. His instincts then kicked in, as he bent his hock-joints preparing himself for any violence to come. Too his surprise or perhaps disappointment, the dragon landed a scant 40 feet or so away then seemed to regard him.<br/><br/>""Forgive me if my assumptions offend you, but your appearance and destructive nature indicate you side with these horrid elves,"" Vera stated, blowing a jet of flame from her nostrils, ""I would so love to engage in a battle befitting of my own size and strength. The elves are cannon-fodder you see.""<br/><br/>Snarnorgul only narrowed his eyes slightly and tilted his head as he considered the creature before him. Slightly taken aback by the somewhat cordial manner in which it addressed him. He shifted his weight in thought. His lower waist that held exposed scales still held marks from where the bear from before had bitten him, splintering his pelvis. Even now though mostly held still ached, thankfully most of the creatures bite had been caught upon his exoskeleton. Mobility was still quite hampered though, but at least he was not crippled.<br/><br/>After a moment Snarnorgul smile returned with an unmistakable gleam in his eyes as he responded telepathically into the dragons mind.<i>""You seek a foe your equal? Then in this it seems you must seek elsewhere, for in Snarnorgul The Unassailable you will find yourself over matched lizard. Now begone or bow, for I have no time to waste with you like.""</i><br/><br/>He stood proudly, blowing steam from his nostrils with a guttural growl, as he rotated his massive shoulders displaying all his spines and claws to give emphases to his warning. His mouth watering as he swished some unknown liquid about, which might have looked like more chewing. This was a rare warning indeed, perhaps seemingly uncharacteristic of the beast and he pondered it might be due to his present state. He quickly dashed such thoughts aside. He had been given the very clear goal of that which he had since completed. So even if this dragon was apparently at odds with the elvish forces, she had given him no reason to attack. Still his upper right pincer hung low to the ground near the foot of the bear’s right hind-leg, his other limbs posed ready to quickly strike or defend with his other massive limb hanging near his head."

So far, he hadn't met any warrior involved in the skirmish, although judging by the sound, the skirmish was still ongoing. He briefly considered hunkering down in the ruins to hide while trying to salvage any reagents that he might be able to use. His curiosity got the better of him as he saw the dragon from earlier took flight from a spot nearby. There was still signs of combat, but with the dragon leaving it should mean that the fight there should be over soon and the warriors involved leaving the area, meaning the spot would be abandoned.

He was fast, but she was she, so his gleeful cackling might just be counting his dragons before they hatched. All of the momentum she had to overcome was in her body rather then the virtually weightless sword, so as soon as her arms were done swinging downward she was able to begin her next move.<br/><br/>He was probably done with his roll by now and would be executing his next attack now. She had to react fast; either jump away to try or swing at him before he could both strike at her and escape out of range. Even though she was cocky she just witnessed how fast he had been so she knew she probably couldn't hit him before the attack came in at all, so that option was out of the question. With this split second decision it mostly came down to instinct, and her instinct often told her to attack and hope for the best rather then run away like a scaredy cat. She could regenerate and she had no reason to believe that he could, and her sword was bigger then his daggers, so if they were to exchange blows she figured she'd be on top in the end.<br/><br/>She lifted her blade and began to swing it to the left to try and chase the path he had traveled and hopefully catch him behind her with a horizontal slash at his hip level, which was a little higher then her's given their height difference. She was indeed fast, probably faster then her opponent expected, but apparently not fast enough to be able to twirl around all the way in time. She felt an icy, painful chill rip across the back of her left leg above the knee, the leg that had been allowing her to twirl around on her heel. She glanced down, seeing a spray of crimson splattering out of the back and side of her leg, a wound deep enough to cause her to crumple and stop her spin so that he was still at around a 90 degree angle from where her front was facing. Her right foot, which had previously been up in the air as it pushed off the ground to start her spin off, had to stomp back down onto the ground and stabilize herself so that she would not fall down completely.<br/><br/>The second strike came in at her exposed left lower back. She was able to avoid crying out in pain, but it was certainly painful as it dug into her abdomen. She wasn't exactly sure what organs were around there, so hopefully they weren't important for anything. Was it her stomach? She needed that to eat lots of food, so she hoped that wasn't the case. She knew where her heart, lungs, and brain were, but that was about it. The elf seemed to be enjoying this, but she'd had far more fun battles in the past. Let's just say that nothing the elves were doing in this village put her in any sort of good mood.<br/><br/>His blade was still inside of her, which meant that he was still in range of a swing. Fighting through the pain, she snapped her left arm back to her left side, her flaming sword back on it's original path to cleave him horizontally in two before he could escape her. She wouldn't need to bend her wounded abdomen or legs to reach him now.<br/><br/>""You're mine!"" She thought to herself, her teeth still gritted, exposing her sharp fangs."

Although there was something about the voice that seemed to bother him. As he can start to discern the two fighters, his tail started to flick in agitation and he frowned. He couldn't believe his eyes, even with the whole dimensional travelling of the gates, the sort of thing he was seeing at the moment should not be possible!<br/><br/>Niks stopped in his tracks over the sheer weirdness of the sight. He stopped as he saw an elf made a stabbing motion at her. He stopped as the gesture connected but failed to prevent the horizontal movement the girl made. He stopped and didn't do anything but stare. Even if he tried anything, only him shouting would had a chance of disrupting the fight, he was too far for anything else."

Snarnorgul footsteps shook the very earth as he strode forward toward the palisades around the town. With a growl quickly followed by a roar he punched forth with his great right pincer. The wooden barricade exploded outward like leaves before a storm creating a massive gaping hole in the defenses. As he stormed through more devil elves followed in his wake screaming their war cries, eyes hungry for blood. Soon the butchers work began in full as men and women were ran down and slaughtered by the bloodthirsty elves.<br/><br/>In one wide street a line of militiamen in rugged leather, armed with wooden shields and spears stood as the last bulwark defending the towns center proper. A squadron of elves on their bestial Worgs mounts rounded a corner, their war cries blending with the howls of their feral mounts. Arrows are loosed into the ranks of defenders, dropping a fair number of them, right before the elves closed ranks with a savage charge that tore the weakened shield wall to pieces.<br/><br/>Elsewhere three Mallion soldiers-well trained, fairly well-armed, and armored in chain-mail and small bucklers-faced off against three devil elves along the western wall of the town.The men, frightened as they were, kept the presence of mind to form a triangular defense, using the wall behind them to secure their backs. The elves fanned out and came at them in unison. Their amazing elven bones swords and long daggers worked circular attack routines so quickly that the paired weapons seemed to blur the line between where one blade stopped and the other began.<br/><br/>The humans, to their credit, held strong their position, offered parries and blocks wherever necessary, and suppressed any urge to scream out in terror and charge- as some of their nearby comrades were doing to disastrous results. Gradually, talking quickly between them to analyze each of their enemy's movements, the trio began to decipher the deceptive and brilliant elven sword dance, enough so, at least too offer one or two counters of their own. Back and forth it went, the humans wisely holding their position, not following any of their individual retreating elves and thus weakening their own defenses. Blade rang against blade, and the magical swords the town soldiers matched up well enough against elven weapons.<br/><br/>A horrible roar seemed to shake the stone foundations of the very buildings around them. The made rush of anger in it's pitch was enough to drain the blood from the faces of the three soldiers who went white as they realized it was growing closer. The elves exchanged words the humans did not understand. Then the three elves attacked in unison, all six bone blades up high in a blurring dance of motion. Human swords and shields came up to meet the challenge and the resulting clang of metal against magically hardness bone rang out like a single note.<br/><br/>A note quickly drowned out by yet another roar, followed by a earth shaking quake. Then at some unseen call or order the three elves danced away out of race at the same time. Still the humans remained stead fast in their defensive formation, and despite the ominous cries echoing through the town they began to feel confidant. The elves now backed off a step, Tonekin Ta'salz the central solider felt something wet his his shoulder. He flinched but a quick look confirmed it was only some rain, not his own blood as he had feared in a wild moment of panic.<br/><br/>Only this water was strangely thick...and stank something fierce... Then he noticed the shadow at his feet in an encroaching of darkness that was not there before. Instinct pulled at his nerves and he looked up then. Suddenly the feeling in his legs gave way, and he might have fallen to his feet then and there if not for his comrades at his side and the wall not far from his back. For above him was a sight unlike anything he had laid witness to in his entire life time. Snarnorgul looked down from over the wall that only came just to his own chest, a cruel smiled curled his lips, showing a jagged row of teeth and fangs.<br/><br/>""Come now, don't be so anxious."" Came his booming voice. ""You may yet still have a good head start."""

There was no blood pouring out of him despite the severity of the wound, but rather the smell of burning flesh had sealed the wound instantly from the heat of her blade. Evvie gritted her teeth as the weapon that was imbedded inside her abdomen slipped out, clattering to the ground at her feet, wet with her blood. She clamped her left hand to the wound to stem the tide, stumbling off to her right to help prop herself up against a wall, relieving pressure on her wounded left leg and keeping herself from collapsing due to the sudden wave of dizziness that hit her. With her advanced healing she'd be back to normal soon enough, but for right now she had to take it easy.<br/><br/>She had won, but unlike the last battle, this one had managed to do a number on her despite it being such a brief exchange between the two. Had the fight drawn on any longer then she surely would have gotten many more serious wounds to add to her collection. As much as she hated wearing restrictive articles of clothing, a nice suit of armor was beginning to look really good to her now. It might just be worth swallowing her dragon pride on this matter to rely on equipment if she has to face many more opponents of his power. This was quite the frustrating predicament, but like pulling off a Band-Aid, perhaps it would be best to get it done as soon as possible. The conclusion of this battle came first, and she hoped to take part in it herself, but something now standing out in the open caught her undivided attention. It was...herself?<br/><br/>She was not yet aware of the existence of her clones, which would have easily been the first assumption to make had she known. Even though she would have been horribly wrong, at least she'd have a rational explanation for seeing double. However, as of this moment she couldn't have been more confused, and her face showed it in her slacked jaw and wide open eyes. She couldn't even form words as her poor brain tried to process what she was seeing."

That was what going through Niks' head as he saw the impossible in front of him. The more he tried to answer those questions, the more baffled he grew as most of the answers he found turned to be either stupid or unlikely. A brief look at the girl showed that it was a shared sentiment, although probably for a different reason. He considered of leaving there and then, but knew that doing so would cause the question to keep gnawing his mind. Approaching her would allow him to ask directly but had its own risk, yet he defeated her once, he could repeat it again. With confident stride, Niks approached the girl. He opened his mouth to greet, but said what was in his mind.<br/><br/>""How can you be alive?"" he said.<br/><br/>""I better then them,"" she replied, nodding her head to the two very deceased elves lying nearby. She had confused his vague question with, ""How did you survive that battle?"". She still stared at him in surprise, but had since closed her gapping mouth.<br/><br/>Niks blinked before understanding that his question was misunderstood. He then repeated it, ""But, didn't you die before?""<br/><br/>""Hmm..."" she pondered. Most people dont have to think about such an important event, as if they might have forgotten about it. Either you remember dying or you didnt die. However, for some reason she wasnt convinced that she had never died before. Actually, it seemed like she had somehow died multiple times. Or did she? She had vague memories popping up in dreams every once in a while, but those were just dreams, right? Or could she really reincarnate like the stories people told of her back home? Was this copy cat around while she had previously died? Her brain hurt from all of this pondering.<br/><br/>""You tell me?"" she replied as a question rather then a statement, as her head tilted to the side. She was feeling slightly better from the time she was able to rest while talking to him so was no longer dizzy or weak feeling. The wounds still hurt, but only as dull throbs, and there was hardly any blood dripping down anymore, a sign that her body was already doing its work in healing her. Just a few more minutes and she would be able to move around like normal again and re-enter this fight. Her rage against the elves had subsidded greatly after taking it out on her recent opponents, but she still needed to wipe out the rest of the attackers before they could do to much more damage.<br/><br/>""Umm, you know who I am, yes?"" Niks slowly asked as he tried on imitating his own voice, to a degree as no living being can speak like he did. He mentally grumbled although it seemed that the girl had a memory loss regarding this issue. He probably could use this to his advantage and learn on how she revived herself.<br/><br/>""Umm...some sort of big meanie?"" She answered, not knowing for sure what he was or if she did in fact know him. She had a vague feeling that she had heard his voice before somewhere not too long ago, so perhaps he wasnt lying when he was acting that they did, in fact, know each other. He didn't ring much of a bell in her head yet, but perhaps he would say something a little more useful if they kept talking.<br/><br/>""No? Huh, funny...."" Niks said as he pondered, tail swishing about. If she did lost memory then he should probably just lie and twist things around. If all worked nicely, he'll learn how he revived herself and a new minion.<br/><br/>""Not funny. You confusing!"" She said, pointing an accusatory finger his way. ""Why you copy me?"" She added. This conversation didnt make much sense at all to her.<br/><br/>""Not copy! You...my friend! Friends share looks all the time!"" Niks lied, somehow taking an indignant tone over being called a copycat. Then he slumped his shoulder as if he was sad, ""Until that...stupid meanie killed you..."" Niks added, mentally cursing the girl's somehow limiting his words. He stopped there to see if he had the girl's attention and if she believed it.<br/><br/>Her tail was now the one swishing as she was in thought, considering what was being told to her. Could she trust this random look-a-like so easily? She was naive in some regards, but perhaps that would be a little too naiive. Still, it would be worth investigating further. She gave a hesitant nod, although didnt look too sure of herself when she did so.<br/><br/>""Why you here?"" She questioned. ""I busy fighting big meanies with pointy ears. Town people in trouble. Will help?""<br/><br/>If this person was her friend then she'd try and help her out in taking care of the rest of these attackers.<br/><br/>Niks paused to decipher what the girl meant before giving what he hoped appear to be an eager nod, ""Didn't plan to, but you here, so I'll help."" Not really something he'd do otherwise, but the notion of a free revival was a tempting one.<br/><br/>He gave a flap on his wings and looked at his 'friend', ""Where to?""<br/><br/>Evvie smiled for the first time today. So this person was friendly after all. She pondered about his question, but it didnt take very long to come up with their next target. It was that huge monster that had killed the bear and was now threatening the civilians. She pointed to it with her right hand.<br/><br/>""That thing. The big, big meanie!"" She answered."

Hefting off the ground was easily as a on might lift and infant, Snarnorgul held aloof a human warrior in his larger fighting arms. Neck tightly held between to mighty pincers the man strangled feebly. Snarnorgul chewed on the upper body of another warrior, great fangs tearing past flesh and armor. He snapped down on the prey within his great maw, sundering the corpse in two--causing it's lower half to fall to the ground. Snarnorgul with a help of a detachment off elves had all but cleared out this side of the town, all but routing the handful of defenders. Snarnorgul was elated indeed, too rarely did he manage to enjoy such a feast of mayhem and bloodshed.<br/><br/>The screams of fear, the howl of war cries, the crushing of bone under hoof, oh! And the smell of blood did delight him so. He was truly at home now, but best of all there was still more killing to be done before the entire town finally submitted! In the midst of his blissful delight in his rain of destruction and death, Snarnorgul suddenly felt something change. A feeling in the pit of his gut he could not explain. After raking his mind for the cause of the shift, it suddenly came to him. With an angry guttural roar he flinched the powerful sinews of his pincers, beheading the man instantly. As the body dropped to the ground Snarnorgul was on the move, charging down a street roughly 20 feet wide. A few pillars of stone had sprouted about the area, rain water slowly sliding down the obsidian structures. Snarnorgul quickly recognized them as Adinraen's handiwork.<br/><br/>The change in the wind soon brought a new but slightly familiar scent to Snarnorgul's sensitive noes. With growl he stalked in that direction the earth shaking with each step, inevitably bringing closer to the half dragon and it's unlikely companion."

Most people would be intimidated at the sight...and in all honestly she was just a teeny tiny bit, but she wouldn't let it show through her determined expression. Besides, she had just killed two high ranking elves, apparently, so she could more then likely handle this oversized reptile thingy. The only cool oversized reptiles were dragons. Speaking of which, where did that one go just no? Oh well, she had to try and focus on the battle soon to be at hand at the pace he was approaching.<br/><br/>Without consulting with her new look-a-like friend on a plan she began flapping her wings to elevate herself above his reach before he could cross the distance. She planned on sending her fire breath down on him, but then again with his reach it would be hard to get any fire down that far to hit his body while still maintaining a safe distance away. Even she knew that at his size she didn't want to get hit by one of those things that had managed to eviscerate a humungous bear. Hmm...perhaps this battle wasn't so easy as originally thought.<br/><br/>She was still confident that she could outmaneuver him and could maybe even afford to start mocking him in the air if she felt confident enough. Maybe get all of his attention off of the townsfolk so he couldn't do any more damage and then maybe her friend or some other soldiers could think of all the hard planning stuff...yeah. That was the best she had for now, so might as well go with it and see what happens.<br/><br/>""Hey mister big meanie! Over here!"" She shouted at the top of her lungs with her naturally loud voice. It was hard to wag her tail tauntingly at him while she was flying, so she just shook around in an un-stabilized manner for a couple seconds before giving up and then simply flying in circles in a holding pattern overhead, waiting to see what he would do."

With any luck for the citizens, the rain might be enough to slow the fire from spreading further. Water ran down across Snarnorgul's scales and exoskeleton. A drop flowed down his snout but he ignored the sensation as he trained his senses on his surroundings. After reaching an intersection he spotted what looked to be the sight of a small skirmish, with several bodies strewn about. At first Snarnorgul paid them little heed, but when his sharp eyes spotted the mutilated body of a familiar elf his suspicions were confirmed.<br/><br/>He stomped down hard on the cobbled street with his right leg in frustration, shaking the ground. Snarnorgul had held no great love for the elven commander of course, but the insult of his death simply could not be allowed to stand. The rush of air like the beating of wings caught the attention of his sensitive hearing over the platter of rain. The distinct sound drew his attention to an odd sight, of what appeared to be reptilian looking female with wings. It took Snarnorgul a moment to realize it looked remarkably like a humanoid dragon.<br/><br/>""Hey mister big meanie! Over here!""<br/><br/>Snarnorgul reared up to his full height and let loose a great angry roar that echoed across the town. Squinting rain out of his eyes he snarled at the creature above him that dared to taunt him, baring his fangs. She hovered somewhere around 20 feet in the air making circles.<br/><br/><i>'You dare mock Snarnorgul The Mighty!'</i>Projecting his voice directly into her mind. He swept his head about, water flying from his head with each quick turn. He then settled his eyes on his right, on a large two story house sporting a chimney. Like many of the buildings it was partly on the fire that had been spreading for some time. He brought his large pincers up and clapped down hard on the roofs edge, heedless of the flames. Then tearing half the top off with a grunt, managing to break a large segment of the triangle shaped roof away. Tiles and pieces of debris fell as he lifted it over his head growling in anger. With a shout he brought it back and tossed it with frightening strength causing it to sail spinning toward the smug dragon girl.<br/><br/>He aimed it slightly high up aiming for where she would go, thus making it difficult for her to simply stop or change course midway. Snarnorgul had had some experience fighting flying foes before, such as the hated vrocks--winged tanar'ri a cross between a large human and a huge vulture. He predicted she might attempt to dive lower to gain enough speed to avoid the improvised missile which would reach her in two heartbeats. He might hit, or might not, but either way time was on his side he knew."

This was not a fight he'd look forward to, although at the very least, it didn't look like the creature would have any mean to defend against his Hex, other than the exoskeleton armor, although it probably wouldn't be as effective because of the scales. He looked at the girl to try to plan on how to bring down the gargantuan creature, but it was too late as he heard a flap of wings and the girl flying up and started taunting the creature. ""Hey, wait, what are you....ooooh!"" He started with a flick of his tail. It came to his surprise however, when the creature let loose an angry roar and focused its gaze at the flying girl before grabbing and tearing a roof to be used as an improvised projectile against her. The strength of the creature, at least, was not surprising.<br/><br/>Grumbling to himself, Niks made his move. A glob of green colored gas started to form between his palm as he darted to the right side of the creature and tried to circle to its back. He tried to stay away from the creature's reach (20 m roughly) just in case it turned its attention to him.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

She knew it wasn't her own thoughts because she probably would not have delivered a comeback against herself and called herself ""snore no goal"" or something like that. Yeah, that made no sense at all.<br/><br/>She turned her attention back to the monster to see him grabbing for a chimney. He didn't appear to be too effected by the fire, which was bad news for Evvie. More bad news was why he was doing this. It couldn't just be because he was irritated that she was out of reach so was taking it out on a building, could it? He brought it back, a surefire throwing motion. Her eyes widened. She had never considered this possibility and was most certainly not high enough to be out of range of projectiles. She couldn't raise that high that fast, not by a long shot, and that would simply be retreating anyways. There was no option but to take the predictable and much quicker route by diving down at full speed. She didn't really need to change direction herself because gravity was able to pull her down at the speed it always would have once she stopped flapping around and tucked her wings in close to her body. She did have some forward momentum in addition to downward, and without her flapping around she was send falling rapidly in the direction of one of the buildings.<br/><br/>On the bright side the debris being flung at her sailed just overhead, missing her even if it was close enough to send a breeze flowing through her hair. What was now the danger was crashing into the building. She flapped her wings frantically so she could now slow her freefall descent, but was not able to completely avoid impact and slammed against the wall with a thud, stunning her briefly as she fell down a storey flat onto her back. She let out a groan, lying there for a bit to try to regain her senses. On the bright side she was tucked away in some alleyway that wasn't in any immediate danger of combat, so she should be safe long enough to recover."

He easily marked he fall, and began to charge forward even before she had crashed into the buildings wall. The path was of course abstracted by a building, but it proved no impediment to the tanar'ri. He barreled straight forward smashing into the flaming merchant shop like a living tank or battering ram. Wooden beams and masonry sundered against him, leaving not so much as a bruise on his tough leathery hide. The path he left was that of complete destruction, with the building collapsing on itself just behind him in a torrent of flames. A deadly obstacle had enemy soldiers been in pursuit of him, but he paid no mind to the destruction.<br/><br/>By the time Evvie struck the wall and had landed in the alleyway Snarnorgul had nearly reached the other end of the shop. With a tremendous crashing sound Snarnorgul collided with the brick wall on the other side of where Evvie now lay prone. The collision quickly caused the entire wall to com crumbling down in an avalanche of bricks, motor, and timber. All of it falling straight down on the dragon girl. Worse still the cramped conditions of the alleyway would likely make it difficult to avoid being buried, with one end of the alleyway ending in a dead end, which left a 16 foot sprint to the other end.<br/><br/>If a wall falling on her was not bad enough, Snarnorgul's added weight would likely crush her if not badly injure her. With all the smoke and debris in the air Snarnorgul knew he would have to rely on his sharper senses to pin point the humanoid in the ensuing destruction."

He lost sight of the creature as soon as it hit the building and left behind a cloud of dust and flying debris over the remain of the houses it bullrushed through. He concentrated more on his existing hex before taking off to the air slowly in order to try to see where the creature was and considering whether to send the hex at it as it was or put something more.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

So much for time to lay around. She tried to roll away from the epicenter of what would soon become a disaster area and breathed fire forward to mold as quickly as possible into the rough shape of a shield just in time to have the wall off to her right side burst inward. Thanks to her shield she probably managed to avoid a fatal blow, but it could only defend against so much damage. The flames faltered after the initial impacts and she was then buried underneath the rest of the falling debris, luckily these being the less energetic rocks due to hitting her after the first wave. With her resistance against blunt force trauma she was able to withstand the force without getting herself too badly hurt, but she was indeed still hurt and now trapped as the wall was collapsing down on her. The monster's feet hit with a thud nearby.<br/><br/>Judging by him not immediately crushing her at this point he couldn't see her right now underneath all of the rubble that scattered the area, but it obviously wouldn't take too long by process of elimination. Using the cover of the rocks she breathed fire to form into a shape of a spear and try to lance at his foot through an opening in the rocks before he could react. Hopefully a deep enough wound would severe the important walking muscles inside, whatever those might be, and limit his charging attacks that he seemed so fond of. In all honesty it was just a random attack to the closest point of his foot and hopefully it would do as desired.

He had expected an attack of course; still he never divined the coming blow over the other smells of burning ash and soot. A sharp burning pain shot up his leg as something pierced his hairy hide. The smell of burnt fur soon assaulted his senses amid the smoke swirling around him. The object, which Snarnorgul discerned felt like a mix between a hot piece of steel caught between flowing water, that had struck into his leg seemed to have partially pierced his tibia bone. Luckily a spear was a terrible weapon to cut tendons, especially for a creature his size and autonomy.<br/><br/>Snarnorgul roared in protest all the same though as his weight buckled to his right. Ironically however, the same weapon that had so wounded him had also cauterized the puncture site. The process of course was extremely painful, but to a creature such as him which was already highly resistant to fire and lightening, he turned that searing pain toward focus. Obviously the humanoid he sought must have attacked him. The audacity of this creature! Yet, more importantly they had erred, for now they were easily within his considerable reach and range.<br/><br/>Focusing his acute hearing he made out the sound of breathing and the faint sound of heat beat. Snarnorgul other senses, far sharper than his poor eyesight, easily made up for the lack of visibility. He raised his massive upper right arm, the one that held one of his two pincers, far to the right and behind him. He a growl he swept it in a wide arch before him with enough strength to shatter steel, stone, bone, like frail glass. The sweep would have the added benefit of clearing a great degree of smoke and debris as well. With an easy 10 feet reach he was confident he would hit something, as the average spear was only 6 feet long. Even so he was already inhaling so that his chest puffed out."

Its attempt to clear the rubble it created didn't faze Niks as it sent smaller chunks flying at him and the bigger chunks were thrown backwards towards the buildings. There was no sight of the girl however, and Niks took it as a chance to agitate the creature and launched the Hex at the creature's scaly backside, taking a small moment so that his aim wouldn't hit any of the more armored part of its body. He has no idea how strong the effect would take hold on a creature of its size, although he knew that it wouldn't even felt the hex coming in contact with it, as much as he knew that it would ignore a splash from a glass of water.<br/><br/>Niks remained hovering where he was, just a small distance away from its reach and height.

Dodging was impossible in this sort of time, but perhaps a counterattack was in order. Rather then keep attacking his lower leg she yanked the fire spear out and raised it in the direction of his arm that was now swinging at her. For his swipe to reach her then it would have to be embedded all the way through spear; either that or her fire would break apart from the force of the impact, but more then likely not before it had a chance to do some serious piercing damage, using his own momentum to drive the flaming tip through.<br/><br/>His arm smashed into her before she could properly see what had happened, instantly knocking her out and flinging her into the other wall of the alleyway along with the rest of the debris. She crashed limply to the ground, her fire lance now extinguished without her control over it. Her right arm was broken at the elbow and that entire side bruised, and a small puddle of blood pooled underneath her head.

The attack sent the small dragonoid flying. However, no sooner had he swept the uppity mortal away his keen ears heard the distinct sound of flapping wings somewhere behind him. While he was momentarily surprised he reacted quickly. His left pincer latched onto an over turned large wooden beam that had once stood as a support for the build he just tore through.

It was too late as the beam hit his leg and shattered from the blow, digging some shrapnel into his meatsuit and throwing him off-balance. Niks spun out of control and crashed into the ground 15 feet away to the left from his last position.

A smile spread over the pilot's face, then forming a smirk as he pulled up several more screens with which to analyze the planet that had just shown signs of life. His ship changing course so as to reach the planet, the Asaraen directed the systems of Eriinn, his ship, to zero on the location of the ongoing conflict, which he was sure it had detected before. His grin growing as the systems detected a considerably sized estimation of relative power, he began the secondary scans as he allowed his ship to be pulled into the gravitational field of Sortiarus.<b>""A magical world, how glorious, though it might prove troublesome in some aspects...""</b>glancing down at the planet he beheld it in all its celestial glory before he nodded and initiated the processes necessary for the ship to enter the atmosphere of the planet and then to port him down near the area that he had detected the life signatures of those whom he presumed worthy. His eyes gleamed eagerly, their fiery light going from a low candle flame to searing embers that just happened to be embedded in his skull.<hr/>Several minutes later the Asaraen found himself on the surface of the magical planet. Taking a deep breath he allowed his cloak to filter the air properly, but to let the the energies of the planet reach him. He could feel it in the air, and even in the soil beneath his armored feet. It was the hum of power which thrummed through the planet as if it were its lifeblood, which it indeed might be. Turning his attention away from the planet's prevailing aura, the Knight of Rhay unfurled his mighty wings, armored as they were, and thrust them downwards, sending his body into the air, and activating Maelstrom as they did so. With the wind in his wings, Raelis soared high into the air and quickly managed to locate his query. Three individuals, or...perhaps only two. One of the three seemed more like the machination of a madman's delusion, the other two seemed to be identical, odd, and were some mixture between Asaraen physique and that of a great lizard. Tilting his head slightly as he observed the ongoing hostilities, the Knight managed to discern that the two identical beings looked much like Asarae with several odd defects, such as leathery, featherless wings. Noting this, a small smile formed upon the knight's hooded features, hidden from prying eyes, as he tilted his body and flew once more, entering the space of the battlefield and landing gently with no sound of metal despite his armor's composition. Still there was a soft thump as his weighty frame made contact with the ground once more.<br/><br/>A scent of burning metal might become vaguely apparent to the monster as Raelis Vaerkturian rose into the air, drew the Blade of Rhay, and then half-furled his magnificently armored plumage behind his body. As he landed for the first time, he noticed that his wings appeared to be more effective and his body lighter on this world. This amused him, for it meant that, as his ship's reading had suggested, the gravity on this planet was less than what he was accustomed to on Asara. His capabilities would be greater than their norm, what wonderful circumstances!<b>""Excuse my intrusion,""</b>the knight called out as he drew the Blade of Rhay,<b>""...but I'll be slaying this beast, he deserves a proper combatant, rather than one bereft of reptilian wings and mutation.""</b>With that Raelis' pace increased as he crossed the fifteen yards between he and his newly chosen adversary.<br/><br/>The clone did not interest him, it was the monster that did,<b>""Ready yourself as best you can, beast, though in truth there is little an ant can do in defense against an envoy of Rhay!""</b>Upon naming the star of his system, his pace increased somewhat as he jogged towards Snarnorgul with the intent to kill shining clearly from his fiery eyes. The beast would fall by his blade, he'd make sure of it."

These creatures were truly becoming an annoyance to him. Sadly the creature was catapulted out of his reach. Snarnorgul continued to inhale and was about to unleash his surprise on the annoying creature before it suddenly spat an orb of fire at him. Snarnorgul snapped his left fighting arm to defend against it, a moment later the fire collided with it. The impact exploded outward with a roar of fire that left the chitin plates there glowing red hot. However it seemed to barely cause even superficial damage on the tough armored hide.<br/><br/>Snarnorgul lowered his massive arm and looked down smugly at the little dragon creature. Heaving, his chest expanded even more but before the blow could be given a voice came.<br/><br/>""Excuse my intrusion,"" a humnoid looking figure with armor and wings called out as he drew some sort of sword, ""...but I'll be slaying this beast, he deserves a proper combatant, rather than one bereft of reptilian wings and mutation.""<br/><br/>Snarnorgul tiled his head at yet another newcomer--they seemed to be crawling out of the abyss!-- regarding the stranger with narrowed fiery deep crimson eyes that promised only death. One great hoof -his uninjured leg- stomped the ground with an agitated movement that shook the earth.<br/><br/>""Ready yourself as best you can, beast, though in truth there is little an ant can do in defense against an envoy of Rhay!""<br/><br/>With a rumbling growl Snarnorgul's own response to the challenge came quick and decisively, in the form of a vomit of his own just as the man was only 15 feet away assuming he had kept closing in. It was not one of fire or a burning column of flames like the dragons, but instead a great spray of toxic and acid liquids burst forth like the opening of some dam. Having stored this some time now the expulsion of a hail of highly venomous and corrosive stone, flesh, steel, burning stomach acid that if it washed over this new figure, the spray would melt through nearly any material in a matter of seconds and reduce the unfortunate victims to a steaming pile of bubbling goo. The 60 foot radius of the attack easily placed the second dragonoid he had hit in the firing range as well.<br/><br/>As he spewed his breath of acid his upper body had shifted forward so that his lower arms hugged the ground supporting some of his weight off his still healing leg."

Transferring this heat to his armor, Raelis began his reaction. Following this his wings moved from their half furled position to fully unfurled, this process was sped up by the magnetic draw and pull of Maelstrom's plates, as well as the wind that it controlled, to thrum through the air and blast Raelis upwards and back into the air where he escaped the acid's cone. Small bits of the acid hit, but the layer of light and heat on his armor caused it to slip off uselessly, though tiny scars formed on the surface of the metal where the acid touched.<b>""Always with a trick up their sleeve, especially when cornered,""</b>Raelis practically shouted as his wings kept him aloft. The Blade continued to increase in temperature and in a few moments it would hit 160 degrees. Considering his options, the Asaraen circled the beast, maintaining an altitude of 50 or so meters above the ground as he did so. Then, deciding on an interesting tactic, the knight began to emanate the Light from his body and allow it to drift downwards in a cone to surround the beast. He had noted that it had shrugged off a heat based attack before, but how well could it handle being heated from all directions at once. Thus, as he circled and increased his speed, the knight guided Maelstrom's ability, along with that of the Light, to form alternating pressures in the air, some cold, and some hot. A miniature tornado quickly formed. This only took Raelis roughly 8 seconds, surprisingly, and after those elapsed he soared off and away to await the beast's reaction.<br/><br/>However, if the beast were to attack during those 8 seconds, as unlikely as that was due to his altitude and the beast's injury, the knight would break the pattern and react as best he could."

Whatever kind of breath it was, however, was spared from Niks as the creature looked to another direction towards the newcomer and breathed out a glob of foul stench acid that melted stone and wood it touched. Niks took off from the ground although the acid splashed against the ground and some small bits bounced and hit his skin, burning and sizzling several spots of his right side before the skin's, fortunately still fresh and existing, regeneration stopped it. With the realization that the acid would've done a lot of damage to his suit, if not ruining it, Niks flew a bit higher than before and, hearing the winged man's taunt, keeping his direction away from him. Niks frowned at the creature, it was hard to judge how much Hex he would need to bring down the creature, his suit's physical power probably wouldn't matter much as the acid breath was annoying. If it wasn't because of the possibility of gaining a renewable source of fresh suits, Niks wouldn't even bother with this. Still, Niks wondered if the creature's head could spin backward.<br/><br/>His thought was interrupted by a glowing light formed above them and started to circle around, which caused Niks to flew backwards, although it was too late as a sudden tornado formed and threatened to suck him in.

Are they keeping people out, or are the people trying to get out?""<br/><br/>'That's actually a good question. Maybe they're in trouble, and the ever Heroic LeeRoy is going to swoop in and save the day~'<br/><br/>""Yeah sure. There's no such thing as a hero,Voidman, only perspective. Except for those people who wear like. Black trenchcoats and fedoras. Those people are cut from the same mold. And that mold is stupid.""<br/><br/>'What?'<br/><br/>""Nothing of great importance to this current situation, what is important is the fact that we're an armed vessel entering alien airspace. I'd be willing to bet money they don't speak English."" LeeRoy flipped a switch and cut the gravity, this is just forethought if they board the ship. Once he reached the forward console he reduced the tint on the forward screen, allowing him to see out into space. ""Ha! We might actually have a bit of a problem. We're about 10k miles too close to the line. I'm gonna say they're going to either hail us, or shoot first and ask questions after. I'm not sure which one is worse.""<br/><br/>'Probably the one where you have to make another wish.'<br/><br/>""Yeah, let's try to avoid the latter.""<br/><br/>LeeRoy jammed the hailing button, hoping that whatever ship he was about to talk to could at least understand basic human gestures. Also, he was hoping that the communication systems were compatible. The hailing was a multiple wavelength broadcast of televisual, auditory, radio, digital, and laser. It was intended to match the most common methods of broadcast, but even then there were variables that LeeRoy couldn't account for."

Look, these guys mentioned 'Dreamers' okay? In legends about 'Dreamers' if they're woken up, the universe ends. That's it, end of story. Then they go back to sleep and start a new one. Now, one of two things will happen to me if the universe ends. I'll either stop existing. Or I'll be forced to live through the destruction and creation of a new universe. NEITHER WOULD BE PLEASANT!""<br/><br/>'Alright! Calm down! I see your point!'<br/><br/>The scientist composed himself, the pressure was equalizing in the ship and gravity was being restored. He only had a minute left. The forearms of the suit slid upwards and two rectangular compartments showed themselves, LeeRoy tucked a pound of C4 into both sides. Then sealing them off so they couldn't be opened from the other side without some effort. He tapped a button on the chest and it slid outward, LeeRoy placed all 20 of his custom explosive plates into this compartment and did the same thing.<br/><br/>'So what? You're gonna just blow yourself up?'<br/><br/>""Hopefully it won't come to that, but just in case I do have to resort to that I'll just make a wish.""<br/><br/>'You hate those.'<br/><br/>""I know."" The visor on his helmet darkened to the gold color often seen on astronaut helmets, this was to protect from Ultraviolet light in most cases. But LeeRoy needed it on to keep his cool. If they couldn't see his face, then they couldn't see how nervous he was. Which, let me tell you something, even immortals get nervous when torture could be just around the corner. LeeRoy walked up to the console and pulled out the most recent 200 years worth of data, knowing full well it would prove completely useless to them. He hadn't been back in his galaxy for the duration of this data card, so there was no risk of Earth being in the sights of the imperial gun. He hoped. As his ship came into dock he stepped up to the depressurization gateway that equalized the atmospheres in both ships. His suit registered a slight flux of gravity based solely on the size of the planet so it adjusted to compensate.<br/><br/>'Why do you care about this version of Earth? It's not YOUR Earth, it's another Earth.'<br/><br/>""Because millions of lives are still millions of lives, Voidman. I won't be held responsible for their deaths because I was careless.""<br/><br/>'You're not as evil as I think you are.'<br/><br/>""I fear death, Voidman. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone who wasn't my enemy. Why do you think I wished for eternal life?""<br/><br/>'Fear.'<br/><br/>""Bingo.""<br/><br/>The door opened and it was precisely as LeeRoy had theorized, power armored super soldiers. Sometimes he wanted his own soldiers to be immortal, so he could bring them along with him. The man stepped down from his ship and into the domain of what he can only assume is the lair of a cosmic evil villain. Not the first time, probably not the last. ""Aha, I like your armor. Give my compliments to the workers who slaved over it, they're sure to love the praise about their work. And you, ma'am, I'm assuming that you are the one who I spoke to on the com? The scientist Salandra, correct?"""

Please come with me. Your ship will be safe; we will wrap a beta particle gamma field around it. It will keep it safe until you leave.”</b></i><br/><br/>Turning on her heel, the Caladoran moved at a quick pace towards a bank of elevators, waving her hand across a blank screen off to the side, a moment later a door opened. Behind them trailed two knights.<br/><br/>Several dozen races, many that LeeRoy would not have encountered spoke hurriedly in what presumably was a common language, probably a form of the original Angar-Ryllan language. Once in the elevator, with the knights crammed in with them, Dr. Kur again waved her hand before the screen and a sudden moment of weightlessness occurred before the doors opened again.<br/><br/><i><b>‘We are here. Tell me LeeRoy, where you are from what is your normal gravity? Here we try to maintain AR-base time and gravity; it helps the Angar-Ryllan’s aboard to move freely. Our oxygen, is similar in composition to the atmosphere you breathe, however we have more helium and greater traces of methane.”</b></i><br/><br/>Dr. Kur spoke as they moved down a long corridor, on their left and right massive are bays with laboratories within, and hundreds of scientists worked on thousands of projects.<br/><br/><i><b>“Although this is a warship, it is also the home of the advance studies college for the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Many of the greatest break throughw in our technology have come from studies of alien technology right away.”</b></i>It was obvious she had a great deal of pride in her work and the laboratories.<br/><br/>Throughout the entire complex, for it could not be called anything else, knights and sailors armed with wither wicked looking energy weapons or sleek rifles and pistols.<br/>Reaching an empty bay, Dr. Kur motioned for the door to open and it did, as she stepped inside she turned, her large eyes flocked on LeeRoy’s.,<i><b> “This is your work bay. Here we will examine your data logs, process them through our spatial recognition computers and try a fixed point in space and time as well as the probably dimension to these locales.”</b></i><br/><br/>A pause as the Caladoran nodded to the knights who returned the nod and assumed positions outside the door, another two knights seemingly appeared and took up their post across the way.<br/><br/><i><b>‘We will work in peace the knights shall stay outside. Several research assistants will be coming in and out to verify your data as well as ask questions. To start LeeRoy what is the level of your technology?

And judging by your ship, our dimensional push technology is probably unknown to you.”</b></i><br/><br/>Then flashing a Cheshire smile at him she continued,<i><b>“Shall we begin?”</b></i>"

They were going to shield his ship with heavy radiation? The translation was either off or these people were idiots in disguise as an advanced empire.<br/><br/>'Asks a lot of questions, doesn't she?' The voidman quipped along the journey, it was about this time that the voidman was getting concerned as well. 'Knee deep in shit right now, and she's enthralled with you. Like some new toy.'<br/><br/><i>Is that jealousy I detect?</i><br/><br/>'Shut up, I live in your head, I worry about your well being because it's my well being too.'<br/><br/>The man rubbed his thumb and forefinger against each other absent minded, he thought quite loud about this. Not vocalizing, but it was an easy way to communicate secretly with the voidman.<i>Yeah yeah. But I'm assuming that she's just a member of the science team, and not the science team responsible for war crimes. Something comparable to Nazi Germany during World War II. Where the soldiers and scientists working on the military equipment had little to no idea what horrors were really going on.</i><br/><br/>'So you're saying she's an innocent bystander?'<br/><br/><i>I'd say there's a seven out of ten chance.</i><br/><br/>As the tour continued she pointed out several important locations around the massive cruiser, speaking of how it was more than just a warship. How there were schools on board, prestigious ones at that. LeeRoy saw that as barbaric, educating them on ship in space for what? War? They were either all twisted, and every one of them genuinely wanted to cause harm to the universe. Or they were ignorant. When the data card was brought up LeeRoy smiled behind the reflective helmet's visor. ""My information is freely available, I've already unlocked it. It should only take you a few uh. Oh right. I'm immortal, a few days is a long time. Sorry about the length of it, I only carry one on board. Usually it has about eight hundred to a thousand years worth of data. But I only recently started this expedition, so it's only got two hundred."" This was a flat out lie, LeeRoy carried ten on board. This expedition was his fifth, and four of those cards were filled. But hopefully they wouldn't go peeking around. The ball robot would know what to do if push came to shove, so he only had to worry about the loss of data. ""About my gravity? It's a bit lower than what your ship has now, Aigyptos was a rather small planet.""<br/><br/>'Nerds speaking with nerds about nerd stuff.'<br/><br/>The scientist offered up his data card to the woman alien. ""Here you go, all the data's in here. And the dimension I hail from? Even I'm not certain about the number, sometimes I get jerked around.""<br/><br/>""Technology? Well, my technology is sort of cheap right now, when I last came to port I left behind my more efficient suits. The Mark Two landing suit was all I had left, and it's uncomfortable to say the least. But it helps my ancient lungs breathe easily in an atmosphere that's more similar to what's on top of a mountain in some worlds."" His hand rubbed against the back of his helmet. ""I intend to make a superior model after I head out of here, even looking at the power armor your kind wears inspires me to want to craft a mark six suit. Though, a bit better designed. The angar-ryllan's haven't got much taste for simplicity, do they?""<br/><br/>Her enthusiasm was almost infectious, so LeeRoy nodded in agreement. ""Yeah, let's begin."""

The gamma-field holding enough energy to rival a pulsar for a tenth of a second would detonate if the command given released the tether.<br/><br/>The Lord General watched the monitors as the strange man named LeeRoy and Dr. Kur began the exchange of information.<br/><br/><b>“Double the guard in that section of the ship.

With her she took the data card and two of the four guards. There was still a pair of them just outside, and they were certainly cutting an imposing figure. The chances of his landing suit standing any sort of a chance against their war suits would be slim to none, so there was no running out of here. Above him there were likely surveillance cameras observing his every move. Alright, the layout is pretty set. LeeRoy's not going anywhere any time soon. This room was basically a prison cell, the only viable exit was blocked by two people who could probably rip his arms out at the socket.<br/><br/>'You could build a suit of that armor right?'<br/><br/><i>If I had the resources.</i><br/><br/>'Why not just ask the guards where the armory is?'<br/><br/><i>Because that'd be stupid.</i><br/><br/>'What are they gonna do, kill you?'<br/><br/><i>Alright, you make the plan.</i><br/><br/>'Ask them where the armory is, and tell them like. I dunno, you need to know to improve the performance of their weapons. Or something like that, they look like big dumb brutes, they'll probably fall for it.'<br/><br/><i>This isn't going to go as well as you think it will.</i>LeeRoy raised his hand and waved to one of the guards outside, trying to get their attention.Hoping that this might actually work, dumb luck pays off sometimes. ""Uh, hello? Yeah, you, guard. C'mere, I need to ask a couple questions. If I am really to help the Angar-Ryllan Empire I need a bit of information. I'm here to improve your technology guys, that's what I do. So where's the stockpile of weapons and armor, I could improve their performance at least seventy five percent. At least.""<br/><br/>'Could have worded it better.'<br/><br/><i>Yeahp. I could have, that wasn't worded too well.</i>LeeRoy actually crossed his fingers at this point, putting his faith in one of the most childish gestures."

His surprisingly light footsteps echoing upon the steel floor and ringing down the hall he walked. Flanking on each side were two other humanoids adorned in Ryllan designed armor. On his right was Baltu, an aquamancer of no small talent, and often his active second in command. He wore a lighter design of power armor then most of his peers. Gavrick marched to his left, with long powerful strides befitting a being of his stature and size. As a Mulntuun, Gavrick was one of little humor and less patience with a determined nature though prone to an often slightly pessimistic attitude. Baltu on the other hand was an even-tempered individual, possessed of a seemingly inexhaustible kind of energy mixed with unrefined enthusiasm. Their personalities tended to class, so both Gavrick and Baltu had been known to come at odds on more than one occasion.<br/><br/>""So, what exactly did the Lord General say?"" The question as voiced by Baltu. ""Surely you think they would be sending us off to Darashal or something?""<br/><br/>As with most in the higher echelons of command, Khazna had heard of that conflict. The Talisans had finally come to blows with the empire. Khazna had half expected to be sailing to quell the foolish Talisans, but it would appear the Lord General had other plans. He had already heard more than a few rumors on his newest interest of late. More than a few of the Angar-Ryllan's resources had been used in finding as much as could be learned about these so called ""Dreamers.""<br/><br/>Khazna on the other hand was not so ready to place his trust in ancient powers beyond a mortals reckoning. Still if the power of the nexus could be harvested to their own use...<br/><br/>""The Lord General has summoned me specifically,"" Khazna began in a steady tone. ""His reasons for doing so I imagine will be plain to us once we arrive.""<br/><br/>Baltu only shrugged as they finally reached the main lift that would bring them directly to the main command bridge. In moments they had ascended, the lifts doors opening slowly with something akin to a hydraulics hiss. With a brisk pace and hands folded behind his back, Lord Cardinal Khazna, Dark Skull of the Blood Eagle fleet marched onto the deck proper, his face hidden under his iconic death head mask. Upon seeing the Cardinal many lower officers paid obeisance as he passed. It did not take Khazna and his small entourage long to reach the general. With a respectful salute the cardinal stood at ready for permission to speak. All the while he kept and air of indifference as if ignorant of everything transpiring around him, or completely comfortable in his surroundings."

One did not yell at the commanding officer of the entire Angar-Ryllan military and expect to live long.<br/><br/><i>“Lord General…please we have just begun our research into spatial anomalies. I…I cannot assure you of success.

He also appeared just as our attack forces encountered the Talisan, and his appearance here coincides with a sudden spatial anomaly off of a series of planets collectively known as the Demon Webs.”</b><br/><br/>Turning to face both of them, Lord General Klaast lowered his head and growled,<b>“This man is currently considered a Class A threat.

You have tacit authority to do what you have to do, and punish those who oppose you in any manner you see fit.

'Well, just go up to them and blow him up.'<br/><br/><i>I'd ask if you were serious, but I know you are.</i><br/><br/>'Hey, you said I could make the plan this time!'<br/><br/>LeeRoy opened up his chest panel and pulled out two explosive plates from the compartment, closing it back quickly to avoid them turning around and seeing where he hides them. This was stupid, incredibly stupid. More stupid than that gamble he had with the previous empire. Especially since he doesn't have any of the tools he had back then, he kind of regrets his last time going to port. LeeRoy left behind way too much last time, but food is usually more important than weapons in the short term. Now, with the explosives in hand he took a couple running steps and swung his right hand around, whipping the small plastic explosive through the air at the first guard. The one at his right hand side. On contact with a rigid body these plates explode with enough force to stun them. The guards weren't expecting this one. The right guard was knocked onto his face by the explosive detonation.<br/><br/>LeeRoy's focus snapped to the staggered guard's sidearm, a sleek rifle that had been in his hands as he fell. The immortal ripped it out from under him and tilted it up at the second guard. Commanding him to stop didn't do much, LeeRoy pulled the trigger and fired off two rounds into the base of, what LeeRoy assumed, was the helmet. Before seeing if his shots had succeeded he took the gun and popped a couple rounds in the back of the first guard.<br/><br/>'Two guys, dead. I thought you were a humanitarian.'<br/><br/>""I am! But technically they don't count, since they're Extraterrestrials!"" In a madcat gambit LeeRoy ran for the door, exiting the way that he came but instead of heading back to his ship he took a left. ""It's probably locked down, if they haven't destroyed it already. So there's a small chance that I won't be getting out the way I came. I'll have to come back for my ship later.""<br/><br/>'What about your supplemental pills?'<br/><br/>""I really don't need them, I love them. They keep me sane longer, but I don't actually need them right now. I'm producing enough adrenaline on my own, thanks.""<br/><br/>'Good luck, I'll keep quiet so you don't get distracted.'<br/><br/>""Thanks."" That comment lead him to doorway, and that doorway opened up to reveal a room full of armored soldiers. Just like the ones that he had just dealt with. ""You're serious right now? This is the kind of fate I'm living? This is peachy keen."" He closed the door back and started to run like hell. A caged animal is often the most wild, and LeeRoy was no different when it came to being a prisoner. See, if he could find the armory and get a suit of power armor, then he could use that to make a clean getaway. Biggest problem with that plan is not knowing the layout of this ship, he hadn't seen much of it overall, and especially not an armory. So hopefully he'd find a map somewhere, like you'd find in a mall. ""Where's the: 'You are here!' sign!? Can someone give me a break?""<br/><br/>To be perfectly honest, the only plan of action was to get off this ship. These people are mad, like actually mad. Some kind of plot to destroy the multiverse. Or worse, a misguided plan to use powers they don't comprehend to CONTROL IT? So LeeRoy has to make this up as he goes along, hell, around the next corner he could bump into the General himself. ""Bet money he's stronger than I am.""<br/><br/>'I'll take some of that action.'<br/><br/>""You said you were gonna be quiet!""<br/><br/>'I'm a compulsive liar.'<br/><br/>""Besides, what are you going to do with money?""<br/><br/>'Get my weave did.'<br/><br/>""You're not messing with my haircut."" Those words were punctuated with a sliding halt, LeeRoy leapt into a small room which he hoped was empty. Slamming the door behind himself and leaning up against it. The suit made running fast easier, it did not prevent LeeRoy from becoming exhausted. ""I'm out of shape.""<br/><br/>'No, you're in shape, you're just old.'<br/><br/>""Yeah. I'm old, not out of shape. I was looking for the right words.""<br/><br/>'No problem. But why are we in this room?'<br/><br/>""Take a break from running.""The scientist panted heavily, hoping to every god out there that nobody knocked on this door. Now, unfortunately, his attention was solely on the door. LeeRoy was not actually paying attention to what was in the room with him. He could have literally stumbled into an airlock, and that would be just his luck."

When Dr. Kur entered and was introduced, he inclined his head toward her in acknowledgment before returning his full attention to the General once more. Who by now had punched in a command on a console changing one of the viewing screens to a feed that Khazna realized was one of the vessels on broad labs. Within was what appeared to be a man wearing a suit he did not recognize of being imperial in design…and though while the video feed was of fine quality, Tablurath bitterly noted it did not allow as much in depth analysis as he would otherwise be capable of at a mere glance had they met face to face. Still he noted that it was of inferior design to anything Angar-Ryllan was capable of. In fact it looked downright primitive. The video feed did also allow Khazna to note something quite peculiar about the man. As with all living beings, he possessed a thread of fate the Cardinal could clearly see, though it was beyond Khazna's abilities to read it or any thread for that matter. He did note that this one was quite different, it shun with radiance unlike anything he had seen before in mere mortals, and was fractured in several places. He had seen that brilliance before however.<br/><br/>Khazna remembered the strands the Fireen had possessed from the last chance meeting between them. He too had possessed strands of fate unique to the norm. Khazna had assumed it was due to his energy manipulating abilities, but this being did not seem to be filled with as much raw power.<br/><br/><i>“This man claims to be immortal. He also appeared just as our attack forces encountered the Talisan, and his appearance here coincides with a sudden spatial anomaly off of a series of planets collectively known as the Demon Webs.”</i><br/><br/>Khazna visibly straightened. Immortal? Yes...that might explain the other wordily brilliance that seemed to be about the man, despite the lack of energy flowing through him. Or perhaps he was so powerful he could somehow mask his true potential? Could even Khazna's eyes be tricked? That idea seemed ludicrous to the Cardinal. However, it was apparent that this man was more than what he appeared to be. Still without actually laying eyes on him face to face, Khazna could never be sure. The mention of an anomaly also peeked Khazna's interest.<br/><br/><i>“This man is currently considered a Class A threat. His appearance is not a coincidence. I am not sure the extent of his powers nor what his purpose here among the Home Fleet is.”</i><br/><br/>Khazna nodded his agreement on the canny general’s perception of the being. Though he did feel it was a risk to even have him on board at all. But he wisely kept that to himself.<br/><br/>The General nodded towards Garal Vash, who stepped forward, his eyes flicked towards Khazna in acknowledgement, “Lord Cardinal, your fleet has been tasked with entering the Demon Web system and searching for the anomaly. We believe that it leads to the Nexus itself.”<br/><br/>At this Khazna raised an eyebrow, though the gesture was mostly hidden behind his mask. A gate, to the Nexus itself? If such was true then that could very well change 'everything.' But he quelled his excitement for now, no point in getting his hopes up yet without boots on the ground to verify.<br/><br/>Garal Vash took over, his voice low as he locked eyes with the Lord Cardinal, “You are to consider this a black operation. You have tacit authority to do what you have to do, and punish those who oppose you in any manner you see fit. Nevertheless, the anomaly must be located before its signature vanishes.”<br/><br/>Now they came to the meat of why Khazna had been summoned. He saw also why he had been chosen for the task, for few where the mortals that could see the strands that made of the very fabric of existence, even if comprehending or even manipulating it was well beyond Tabluraths own humble abilities. Such a talent would still help however little in the finding of this '<i>anomaly</i>,' because if little else was known of these gates. Their very nature would, or at least should, bend and warp time and space itself. Ultimately finding the cause of this disturbance was not quite unlike finding the threads that had been misplaced and disturbed. How befitting he would be searching a place that was in its simplest form a great web in and of itself. Though of a very different nature. Still such disturbances would not last long, time would be against them. Khazna for his part more than welcomed the challenge.<br/><br/>It had seemed he had been sitting quashing the upraising now and again for too long, now was a chance to break from the normal routine. A true challenge befitting his skills. So he felt.<br/><br/>Lord General Klaast leaned forward, “Dr. Kur will be on stand-by, she and her team will be ready to utilize a fast vector transport to be in orbit around the planet in 6 hours.”<br/><br/>Straightening the Lord General faced the Lord Cardinal, “I cannot tell you the importance of this mission. You are have free reign to recover or find this anomaly. Do not fail Lord Cardinal.”<br/><br/>The Lord Cardinal matched the general’s gaze, a subtle light in his brown orbs.<br/><br/>""I will not fail."" Came his only reply.<br/><br/>In his, admittedly short, but none the less eventful time within the Angar-Ryllan, Lord Cardinal Khazna had never batched an operation and many of his peers, if not a little begrudgingly considered him something of a prodigy. His talents in both command and his natural charisma were matched only by his relentless zeal to see every star and every universe under the iron hand of the Empire.<br/><br/>As the general turned back to watch the man now alone in the lab Khazna joined him. Something about this one intrigued the Cardinal.<br/><br/>Lord General narrowed his eyes, “I do not trust this man. Lord Cardinal what does his action tell you? I am always interested in the opinion of my Cardinals, especially those with a certain eye towards fate reading.”<br/><br/>Khazna offered a somewhat tepid smile beneath his black mask before replying. ""In that cause Lord,"" He began, eyes slightly squinted as if studying a book he had read before but still greatly perplexed him. ""I must agree with your suspicions. He is far more than what he appears to be. The threads of fate on him are..."" He paused for a moment as if searching for the right word. ""...shifted, as if it is no longer his own. It oddly shares some similarities with the Fireen. Infinite in some ways but ultimately finite. In sort, he seems to be telling the truth in so far as his immortality is concerned.""<br/><br/>Tablurath then raised his shoulders then dropped then in a symbol of defeat. Explaining the depths of his sight when it came to the threads of fate was akin to trying to describe color to a blind man. Sadly, Tablurath could only see these threads, the fate of those who held them was beyond his ability to comprehend or see. So when the man on screen suddenly launched explosives from his suit and quickly incapacitated the guards in the room, he was as surprised (and a little amused truth be told) as the General might have been.<br/><br/>The man’s actions were a surprise certainly to the guards he put down. Already he had escaped the lab and was running beyond the videos feed. Other screens showed bits and pieces of his escape attempt as he sprinted down corridors. Khazna could not decide if the man was either an excellent and brilliant spy, or soft in the head. His blind running around seemingly at a loss suggested the latter. If anything he was certainly a brave fool. His ship was detained, there had to be hundreds of crewmen and guards on board, and he had literally nowhere to go. The last feed showed him jumping into what Khazna recognized, by the Ryllan lettering on the door, was a laundry room where crewmen sent dirty cloths and gear to be cleaned and repaired.<br/><br/>Khazna only sighed and shook his head at the sight. The man would likely be apprehended in due time, there was no hope of escape. Still there was much preparation to do before his fleet set out, and it had been some time since he had operated on the field himself. He hoped, he might find some amusement in facing this threat directly. It would at least save time and resources if nothing else.<br/><br/>“Well my Lord General, It would seem our...quest… is none at all pleased by our hospitality."" He said with a smile in his eyes. ""Allow me General."" He voiced pre-emptively guessing the Generals next words. ""The liberty in confronting this man. It might prove a fitting exercise before the 6th fleet must set sail."""

It was a laundry room of some sort, uniforms all over the place and underpants galore. The filth of a thousand men is the same no matter what planet you're from it seems. The scientist removed the tint from his visor to look around, there was absolutely nothing of use here. Clothes upon clothes upon clothes! ""Dammit!"" LeeRoy swore to himself, kicking a shirt aside in his frustrations. ""I'm probably being watched right now, gonna bet that there's a camera somewhere in here!"" Frantically looking around the room he spotted no cameras, that doesn't mean there aren't any. They're likely small and near invisible to the naked eye.<br/><br/>'LeeRoy, calm down. When was the last time you took your medicine?'<br/><br/>His left hand rubbed against his helmet, scraping across the top of it. ""I don't know! Probably a day or so, I was going to take it before I got on board this ship!""<br/><br/>'So you're not filtering your blood right, that's not good!'<br/><br/>""Yeah, I'm gonna start getting light headed."" Now, a little explanation here. LeeRoy can't sleep, therefore his body doesn't do the tasks that it normally does at night. His body only does things at 1/2 efficiency due to the lack of an ability to sleep. To supplement this process he replaces his blood periodically. any blood will work. He's AB positive.<br/><br/>Back on topic. Shaking his head out of frustration he sat down on a bench near the back wall. Popping the clip out of the rifle and checking the number of bullets, pulling out twenty six total remaining. He's fired four shots, and he only popped it he didn't hold down the trigger. It was designed like an automatic weapon, gas powered, thoroughly analyzing it to find how he should best use his remaining shots. ""Headshots only, gotta make sure I get close enough to aim. There's not enough ammo for me to spray and pray.""<br/><br/>'Spray and praaaaay!' She screamed it as though this weren't a serious situation, LeeRoy's face tensed up in frustration. 'Yeah, sorry. This is important.'<br/><br/>Popping the clip back in he loaded a round into the chamber and looked down the sights. Damn thing was too thin for his tastes. The bulkier masculine guns are his style, but that's because he loved the 80s era of hyper-masculinity. ""It's a bit light, good material. It'll take a bit more getting used to before I can shoot the head off of a fly but I could pinpoint someone's head.""<br/><br/>'Steady hands, cold heart, level head and no sweetheart.'<br/><br/>""Are you mocking me?""<br/><br/>'Maybe.'<br/><br/>""You're not gonna take this serious are you?""<br/><br/>'You've never given me reason to doubt you.'<br/><br/>Lowering his gun he raised a finger and opened his mouth, going to say something but then he just. Closed his mouth and lowered his finger again. ""Was that a compliment?"" That's a first.<br/><br/>'It's a fact! Shut up!'<br/><br/>""I'm starting to think that you're not as evil as you act.""<br/><br/>'Shut up, they're probably watching you! I bet they think you're crazy!'<br/><br/>With a rather unnecessary intensity he muttered to her. ""Are they wrong?"""

Five figures sprung out from the elevator quickly setting up a defensive perimeter around the doors creating a half circle. A moment later a slightly shorter figure then the hulking Nas’Gaduran warriors followed with calm purposeful strides. Despite his shorter stature he carried himself with an air of self-certainty befitting a man of the Cardinals rank and stature. Dark eyes cast about his surroundings, spotting a familiar gleam from one of the many threads scattered about the ship.<br/><br/>He walked forward briskly and the men accompanying him arranged themselves about him in a proactive guard. Not that he needed their assistance, but it helped to keep up appearances. Baltu would have no doubt urged him to take a few along anyway. Though he would have likely have advised for more to be one the safe side. His second in command was a capable man, but was a surprisingly over cautious fellow. A not all together bad trait in the grand scheme of things. Still if this so called immortal could not handle a few Ryllan soldiers then he was simply not worth the Cardinals time.<br/><br/><i>""Mi'lord, scanners reveal the target has not moved from his last position.""</i>Khazna easily overheard Baltu's voice over the communication rely built into his mask. Khazna nodded his head in understanding, though Baltu was not present to see the gesture.<br/><br/>""Very well, then we have him trapped."" He grim smile playing on his lips. ""I wonder how I dear guest will escape his predicament.""<br/><br/><i>"" Lord...are you sure you need deal with the filth directly, it would be easier to just-""</i><br/><br/>""Enough, if I wanted your opinion I would have asked."" Besides there is something I need to confirm...<br/><br/><i>""Of course my Lord. The hall leading to his location is around the next bend.""</i><br/><br/>The unit paused as they came to the turn, the point man peering around the corner quickly before giving the signal that it was clear. It was but a single man, but the stock discipline of the Ryllan soldiery took the threat seriously all the same. The door leading to the laundry chamber was down a fairly wide corridor some 12 feet across, with the only cover being on the form of steel ribs jutting out from the sides of the hall at every seven foot interval. The guards went into a tight skirmish line as they quickly leapfrogged from rib to rib as they closed in on the door their traget hid behind.<br/><br/>The Cardinal for his part simply walked calmly forward down the center of the hallway. When two men pressed against either side of the sealed door the group paused from behind cover as they trained their weapon on the entrance. At least 13 feet from the doorway off to its left Khazna regarded the strands of thread woven around the doorway and beyond spotting several shatter points.<br/><br/>Then as casually as if he was addressing a neighbor down the street on the state of the day’s weather, he spoke. ""To the one known as<i>LeeRoy</i>."" He shouted as if tasting the name. His inbuilt translator using the dialect English this man seemed native to. ""You are asked but once to surrender yourself immediately into the custody of the Angar-Rylla Empire. You have committed an act of anarchy against the God-Emperor. Of which you have earned the penalty of death, however, should you surrender yourself now without delay or resistance you may find mercy yet. Your ship is detained, you a trapped in a room we can just as easily eject into cold space where we can destroy you at our leisure, and you are hopelessly outnumbered. You have no hope of escape, there is after all only one reasonable choice left to you. Submit. You have ten seconds.""<br/><br/>Khazna smiled and waited for the man’s replay. The space ejection was untrue, but the man had no way of knowing that. The rest however was as plain and true as the moons of Angar-Rylla. They could easily kill the man, or at least test just how immortal he was. But such would be a waste. If he was a spy there would be more to gain by taking him alive if possible.<br/><br/><i>""Do you think he will really submit?""</i>Baltu piped in over the comm channel.<br/><br/>""If he is half as smart as he claims..."" He merely shrugged. “We will see wont we?"
2575,Angar-Rylla- NVM,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18036-angar-rylla-nvm,['Arena'],2014-04-04 18:23:00,LeeRoy,"Several noises outside the door, sounded like the footsteps of well trained guards. Likely a bit better trained than the ones that he had finished up earlier, not much of a problem. A voice chimed up and alerted him to a high ranking individual. LeeRoy didn't have to worry about the guards, the man was probably here to get a pin put on his chest that said: You killed an immortal, good job. For a moment LeeRoy believed the bluff about the spacial evacuation, but then looked around. There were clothes in here, and almost nothing but clothes. This wouldn't be a garbage shoot, it would have a lot more in the way of food scraps. And these clothes are in rather good condition, besides being dirty. The two words that LeeRoy really hated had been tossed into the Brass's bluff. ""God emperor this, god emperor that. What is it with you extraterrestrials and speaking of god emperors. You know war isn't the way to peace, right? Of course not, most societies in space are barbaric and crude. Even with advanced technology you're little more than a bunch of Angry Gorillas throwing your shit at eachother. Huh, I guess that's why you're called the Angar-Ryllan Empire.""<br/><br/>'It is sort of common.'<br/><br/><i>Because society works in parallel, god emperors just seem to be the point that things like to reach. Luckily on Earth we had the Greeks, they put a stop to the God Emperor psychology real quick.</i><br/><br/>And to further insult the Brass he stood up and slowly crept towards the door, hoping they didn't hear him. ""And besides mister man, this is a laundry room. Why would you have a way to suddenly eject your panties, ma'am?"" It was at this point that the voidman was laughing hysterically, to be honest LeeRoy let out a few chuckles of his own. That was pretty funny. ""And my last point."" He spoke again, almost at the door, rifle at the ready. Making sure to stand about three feet away from the door to prevent the gun being grabbed from his hands too quickly. ""If you know I'm immortal, which I'm sure you do at this point. Everyone seems to love that information. Then you have no chance of killing me. That's kind of in the repertoire of being immortal. So I'm willing to bed you're just some big bad brass ass who wants to prove himself as the biggest bad and bring back the head of an immortal to boast to your ugly alien friends.""<br/><br/>LeeRoy readied himself for what was sure to be a fight that he wasn't going to enjoy, then again he didn't enjoy any fights. And the last fight he had gotten into had nearly gotten him dismembered, but that's another story. Alright, analyzing time. There are, most likely, a load of guards out there. There were lighter footsteps and then mechanical footsteps. Meaning that he had at least two power armored men out there with him, they would be harder to deal with. In all likelihood, however, they won't attack until he starts to feel his confidence slipping. So be prepared for things to get hectic late fight. Early fight, since he's assuming that this man is stronger than he is, LeeRoy would have to stun him first. With that thought in mind he plucked out two of the explosive plates and tucked them between his fingers, closing back his chest container. ""Alright, buddy, I've just got one last question before you get yourself killed.""<br/><br/>'Ooh, big tough guy.'<br/><br/>With that same unnecessary seriousness he spoke through the door. ""What's your name, boy?"""
2576,Angar-Rylla- NVM,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18036-angar-rylla-nvm,['Arena'],2014-04-04 19:26:00,GreivousKhan,"Khazna shrugged, it was always the hard way. The seconds ticked by in his head as he ignored the other man’s pointless attempts at a taunt. Khazna had never really had the time or patience for such things. He liked to think he had grown beyond that, though if it was a calculated response by his enemy to throw him off it ultimately failed. It must have never occurred to the so called scientist that a ship fire could easily happen anywhere, laundry cell or not. Ironically it seemed the man’s ignorance had allowed him to guess at the bluff. It mattered little.<br/><br/>Khazna did take note of the man’s movements, the threads that made up his existence shun brightly beyond the obstructions of the wall. Though there was always his thermal optics in his mask, had this man possessed no threads of life so brilliant in the first place. His words might have also given away his position if Khazna had relied on those senses alone. The intruder was closing in on the entrance it seemed. Khazna raised a gauntlet clad hand and the soldiers went into action. Those further up the hall kept their weapons trained on the door while the two on either side of it readied themselves. The one on the left side of the door pulled and primed a thermal flash grenade for over just a second. While the other held his hand close to the control counsel. The man had never bothered destroying them and sealing the entrance.<br/><br/>The guard punched in a command, then readied his weapon as the door chimed before hissing open. The moment the door split in went the grenade. It was a nonlethal weapon of course, not merely to incapacitate the man, but to spare any damage to the ship as much as possible. The thermal flash would burst in a stunning array of light and with a painful burst of sound further ahead in the center of the room. In such a confined space the bang would be quite unsettling and the low fuse meant there was little chance of it being thrown back in time unless the catcher had super human reflexes. The other guard would attempt to shoot at anyone within once the flash had passed.<br/><br/>Khazna himself kept his distance for now calmly pulling one of his blades, serenity, free. If the man could not handle a few guards he was not worth his attention."
2577,Angar-Rylla- NVM,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18036-angar-rylla-nvm,['Arena'],2014-04-04 20:13:00,LeeRoy,"There was actually a reason for him not sealing the door, it was kind of the only way out of the room. Besides the ventilation shafts, but he was way too big in his armor to go through the ventilation system. Now, LeeRoy heard the hissing of the door, and honestly he was hoping that for once his taunting had worked. When he saw the armored guard stepping in his face distorted into a frown. This obviously wasn't the guy he was expecting to come through the door, just another pawn on the chessboard, but then something awful happened.<br/><br/>""Is that?"" Damn, miscalculation. Not at the taunt, taunting never seems to work. It's like everyone in the multiverse is an emotionally static individual. ""That's a SWAT breach."" No, the miscalculation was the typical SWAT breaching tactics. Through the door a flashbang came through, the noise wasn't the issue here his suit was thick enough to shield from ear splitting sound, it was the flash of light. When it exploded it caused his eyes to go fuzzy and be flooded with little circles of white light. In the haze a figure moved forward, LeeRoy brought his gun up and fired with his eyes closed. Closing his eyes would allow them to adjust faster than if he held them open. He knew he was facing the door so he wouldn't deviate much from his firing sights. Though he was blinded he could still kill at least one of the poor unfortunate bastards. ""Usually the bad guy enjoys fighting the protagonist one on one."" LeeRoy fired off six shots from the rifle into the doorway, totally blind to their flight path. Fortunately they were fired fast enough and close enough to the door that they shouldn't miss."

At that moment a storm of rounds slammed into him knocking him off his feet, one round puncturing his helm splitting his skull and raining blood mixed with grey matter into the air. His death scream cut short when another two rounds whipped into his throat and the base of his neck. With a gurgling sound like a man drowning he went down. The other guard avoided a similar fate thanks to the fact his companion had served as an involuntary human shield. However he did not escape completely unscathed as a round punched into his shoulder spinning him away to his left.<br/><br/>The shots had either been guided by the gods or damn lucky. The last few shots flew past Khazna, who had wisely stayed out of the direct path of the door. The bullets almost moved in slow motion to his eyes. He raised an eyebrow at the display. Turning back in time to see the last guard, now hugging the wall near the door, start spraying rounds back though the entrance in a blind fire. Seeking to avoid his comrade’s fate by staying behind cover. Whether the blind shots hit was another story.<br/><br/>Khazna simply continued to watch on while the other three guards remained behind cover weapons at the ready."
2579,Angar-Rylla- NVM,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18036-angar-rylla-nvm,['Arena'],2014-04-04 21:02:00,LeeRoy,"This was nice, at least he knew that he had hit all of them. The sound of bullet penetration was nice, but then a volley of bullets came his way. Two struck his suit and glanced off, a third actually penetrated his helmet, blowing a hole clean through the back. Much to LeeRoy's fortune, however, it's a space helmet. It missed his head by an inch and a half and actually ripped out some of his hair. Before getting shot again he leaped backwards and grabbed for the bench he had been sitting on earlier. Rather difficult considering that his eyes were still shut, but his hands found the piece of metal again. ""Jeez, you guys are jerks. If I get shot in the head one of two things will happen. I'll become mentally retarded or I'll have to make a wish. Nobody wants that second option."" Forcing his left eye open he saw the bullet hole in his visor but also saw the bench. Jeez it was blurry, it wasn't going to be fun. This'll last at least another minute or so. With a quick snapping motion he picked up the bench and held it in front of him as a shield. It wasn't enough to completely cover him but it would protect from any fatal shots.<br/><br/>""Now that I know you're a chickenshit, buddy, I'm just waiting for you to dismiss the cannonfodder and actually fight me. I'd be willing to bet that I could take you in a one on one fight. Your guards are just gonna get killed if you don't come in here."" This was a distraction, from his left arm he popped the compartment and pulled out the solid brick of C4. ""I swear to the god who's cursed me with Immortality I'll spare their lives if you come in and fight me yourself.""<br/><br/>'You're a cheeky bastard.'<br/><br/>""I take pride in my word, boy. I'd be willing to bet you'd love to mount a still living head to your wall wouldn't you? So, are you going to callously throw away the lives of your men just to give yourself a pitiful advantage against me?""<br/><br/>'Ooh, that aught to sting at his pride. If he has pride. He could be the sort we run into all the time.'<br/><br/>Arming the explosive for remote detonation he pulled out the detonator and peeked around the bench. Ensuring to keep the explosive out of sight before speaking. ""Well? It's up to you now. Are your men's lives that worthless to you?"""

Khazna seemed oblivious to the small battle just several feet ahead of him. Still the 'immortal' continued shouting jibs just barely heard over the cacophony of gun fire. One might have thought he would have given up by now? Years spent under intense psychotherapy had born in the Cardinal a discipline few men possessed. This Leeroy certainly liked the sound of his own voice. By now he had leapt blindly for cover a few feet back in the form of a bench. At this point a black mist had started to swell around Khazna as he calmly walked forward. Just then the man began to lift his temporary shelter and made it something of a shield. The last rounds of gunfire colliding into it and around the man’s feet creating sparks here and there.<br/><br/>""Now that I know you're a chickenshit, buddy, I'm just waiting for you to dismiss the cannonfodder and actually fight me. I'd be willing to bet that I could take you in a one on one fight. Your guards are just gonna get killed if you don't come in here.""<br/><br/>The guard’s gun ran dry before he could correct his aim and he hastily reloaded. There was an almost deadening silence as the shooting stopped momentarily. At this point Khazna stood almost within the doors entrance.<br/><br/>""I take pride in my word, boy. I'd be willing to bet you'd love to mount a still living head to your wall wouldn't you? So, are you going to callously throw away the lives of your men just to give yourself a pitiful advantage against me?""<br/><br/>Khazna causally tilted his head at this outburst; he certainly liked to use the word 'boy'. The man was really in no position to threaten let alone make demands. Such an interesting one this Leeroy was turning out to be. Still perhaps he would humor the man? The mist of black was now heavy in the air around him and he decided now was the time to make use of it.<br/><br/>""One on one? I don't make a habit of fighting the handicapped."" Even as he spoke his sword had already flashed in front of him in a blur of motion slicing the open air. ""But if you insist. Catch."" Suddenly as if by magic, a blade appeared in the air seemingly built out of the space before him, or more accurately the black mist. An almost exact duplicate of<i>Serenity</i>he caught the sword cleanly with his left hand then tucked it across his chest under his right arm then flung it forward with uncanny skill and godly precision.<br/><br/>Just then the man Leeroy had dared to peek from behind his makeshift shield to mouth off another challenge. The sight of the weapon would no doubt give the man quite the surprise, likely he had never witnessed one throw his sword like an oversized dagger before. With the speed the weapon was thrown and distance between them (if the man could even see the blade traveling through the air from his angle) it was unlikely he would be able to avoid it. Its velocity, some 189 feet per second, and weight meant it would pierce through the bench with over 30 inches of Starhilm. Impaling it and the man behind it with the force to knock the air from his lungs, cut through the flesh past his suit and sunder a rib or two. The weapons course aimed for the center mass of Leeroys body just under where his heart should be.<br/><br/>In the few seconds Khazna had been at the doors entrance his razor sharp eyesight had taken in the room in its entirety. Quickly absorbing his surroundings as any experienced warrior would. The room was roughly 30 feet in length and a little more than half that in width. Within it, three rows of machines took up most of the chambers room. With the walls possessing what seemed to be pipes built into them. An idea was already forming in the Cardinals mind and what little of his opponent he could see pointed at the fact he no longer could be carrying his rifle, and only one hand was carrying the bench. All this he took within the span of a heartbeat.<br/><br/>The moment he had loosed the sword Khazna entered into a combat stance legs bent and muscles ready to spring forward or back at a moment’s notice with his feet squarely set apart. His blade ready for another sweep through the mist around him."

Instead of letting it hit him in the side he flattened his back against the bench and braced for a devastating blow. And when it hit, oh boy did he feel it. Through the area just below his diaphragm and just slicing the top of his liver came through a sword.Caked in blood that was thinner than it should naturally be and the smell of coconut began to waft around the room. That took a lot of strength, a good deal more than LeeRoy can muster even in his armor. And the blade itself was strangely unnatural in its feel, something was off about it and was oddly familiar but he couldn't place it. From the way it just cut through a piece of steel and his armor like butter it was likely some sort of super material. Of course it was.<br/><br/>'They don't!'<br/><br/><i>Of course they do.[/u]<br/><br/>'Yeah, this is bad. I didn't know they had THAT kind of Supersoldier.'<br/><br/>[i]Power armor, super soldiers. This is all starting to sound real familiar.</i><br/><br/>Taking in a deep breath before trying to speak he responded to the sword with deliberate tones, trying to not sound like he has been impaled. ""I'll be honest here, you're only the second guy to successfully do that to me."" With one hand he pressed against the bench and shoved it to the ground, the blade sliding out cleanly with it. Blood trickled through the hole in the back of his suit but inside it was positively drooling. ""The other guy did it better, actually cut off my head by throwing it like a disk instead of a dart."" Between his fingers in the hand that Khazna could see were the two explosive disks, the other hand was pressed against his abdomen where the blade had struck him.<br/><br/>""But now I know what you're capable of physically. A super soldier, not unlike the ones I created to guard my home. Except you're the kind who-"" LeeRoy had to stop to actually catch his breath for the first time in a while. ""Who's prideful about it, aren't you?""<br/><br/>'What was that?'<br/><br/><i>I was just stabbed, it'll be a while before I'm not going to be in pain.</i><br/><br/>'Try not to die.'<br/><br/><i>I won't have to try hard, it's the winning that's hard.</i><br/><br/>Lifting his right hand up he smiled behind his mask and spun around, whipping the pound of explosives through the air. And no, it's not aimed at Khazna, LeeRoy threw it with the intention of it landing behind him. All the while giving him the impression that he was throwing it at him with poor aim. The sight in his eyes was beginning to improve, albeit slowly, but it was more than enough to see where his enemy was. Before he was finished with this motion he also brought his left hand up and flicked the two plates he had out in the Cardinal's direction. These flew with a more deliberate path at Khazna, with the tint on his visor gone he finally got a good look at his enemy. A human. LeeRoy smiled from ear to ear at this new bit of information."
2582,Angar-Rylla- NVM,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18036-angar-rylla-nvm,['Arena'],2014-04-05 18:16:00,GreivousKhan,"The sword struck the bench and sliced right on through to impale the man behind it. He could hear a strained breath from behind the bench as the man attempted to recover to some extant after having a sword impale him.<br/><br/>""I'll be honest here; you're only the second guy to successfully do that to me.""<br/><br/>""Well then, I suppose I should feel honored!"" He answered with a mocking cordial tone and exaggerated excitement. “But I do fear it will only get worse for you from here.”<br/><br/>Still Khazna was mildly impressed that the man could still stand and even work the blade free. This Leeroy was not going to disappoint him as far as his seeming immortality went. Even before the bench fell to the ground Khazna was already moving to press his advantage. He sliced the black mist before him again and this time another blade appeared, seemingly smaller than the first which was also skillfully caught with his free left hand.<br/><br/>""The other guy did it better, actually cut off my head by throwing it like a disk instead of a dart.""<br/><br/>""My dear friend, if you are unable to catch the weapon I so kindly offered you; I am forced to wonder if you are really worth my time.""<br/><br/>Without the obstruction of the bench Khazna's dark eyes peeking through the visors of his menacing mask could now make out what appeared to be two disk shaped objects. Khazna recognized them as being in similar shape to the explosives thrown at the guards earlier in Leeroy's escape attempt.<br/><br/>""But now I know what you're capable of physically. A super soldier, not unlike the ones I created to guard my home. Except you're the kind who-"" LeeRoy had to stop to actually catch his breath for the first time in a while. ""Who's prideful about it, aren't you?""<br/><br/>Khazna only smiled behind his dark mask. Super solider? Oh, if only this man knew the truth. While Khazna possessed superhuman levels of hand-to-hand and sword fighting skills, none of it was the result of genetic tampering. Khazna however did not respond, already calculating the distance between them, the amount of time it would take to cover it, as well as reading his opponent as closely as the man’s suit allowed. This Leeroy's bulky space suit would make it difficult to read his muscle movements. Not to mention Khazna’s own speed was hampered by his training weights he still wore, though he was still faster then his opponent. He predicted he would not need to use the full might of his speed found in the art of Flash-point.<br/><br/>It was then the man made his first move, one that to Khazna's decade of long training and combat seemed painfully obvious in movement and application. First he shattered the first rule of combat; he turned about, allowing himself to lose sight of his opponent. The act of lifting his right arm up alone was enough to reveal the object it held, though he could only guess at its nature, no doubt more explosives. Khazna would have normally not have bothered allowing him to completely finish the maneuver. However, the sight of the object gave him pause, and in that time he simply posed his new blade for another throw. Then came high the plastic explosive as it went sailing into the air. Then in that very instant did Khazna react with a blur of motion sending his new blade sailing toward the device with inhuman precision for its blasting cap.<br/><br/>Too Khazna's eyes the entire throw seemed to have been played out with over-exaggerated movements and awkward slowness that was the hallmark of basic peak human speed and movement. Allowing him to easily predict its trajectory and intercept with his blade, which would impale it and send it flying a few feet behind Leeroy to stick fast to a steel beam built into a machine at his rear. However, he had not expected Leeroy to also fling his two discs at him at the same time. No mean feat to be sure. Fortunately the movement of him raising his left hand was just enough warning for Khazna to decide his next action, thankfully he had already readied himself for a quick dash from his stance. There was no room to jump to the side in his current position so he went down instead, falling forward into a tight combat roll, allowing the disc to sail just inches above him. Khazna gambled the disc were impact sensitive from the way Leeroy had employed them the first time. It was just bad luck that the guard waiting outside the door choose then to pop out to place a well-aimed shot between the eyes of Leeroy. He never go the chance to fire before being blown off his feet from the twin concussive blast of the two disk sending him flying back, likely out cold.<br/><br/>It was fortunate Khazna had witnessed their use beforehand, he'd have rather not have been surprised if he had decided to employ<i>serenity</i>in cutting them form the air. His move also took him over the prone body of the dead soldier Leeroy had killed. As he spun up from his roll into a kneeling crouch he would have a nasty surprise in store for his immortal foe. He had aimed for and grabbed the fallen weapon of the dead guard and leveled it at Leeroy. The sleek rifle barked as it spat a hail of bullets toward their target. But even one blessed with marksmanship as potent as Khazna could not fire a weapon such as this easily in one hand. Thus he did not bother actually aiming for the man before him. He fired rounds in a tight circle from one side of the room and up over the man's head then down.<br/><br/>Using pay-and-spray over marked precision, Khazna's rifle tore into the pipes aligning the wall. These were fed with hot steaming water that lead into the machines behind Leeroy. Sadly, instead of hot water dousing the ground around Leeroy for a distraction, hot steam spewed out with a hiss of anger instead.<br/><br/>Steam? Khazna thought. Well best make use of an unexpected outcome he decided. He fired a few shots in Leeroy's direction hoping to panic him to cover. Then he dropped the rifle, already spent of rounds. Khanza quickly rolled to his right as the steam began to fill this end of the room near the only entrance. He wondered how good his opponent’s vision was in an obscuring mist. He ended his role in a combat stance, his sharp eyes peering into the mist for his foe, the outlines of his threads visible to his extraordinary eyes. His mind eye now quickly placing them at roughly 12 feet from each other."

You're a smart-ish man, I bet you've got some technique or superpower that allows you to destroy whoever weilds your sword or something."" With a deep inhale he watched the man easily deflect his bomb, how unfortunate. Not a negative thing, it just changes his battle strategy. Then Khazna rolled forward over the first corpse left from LeeRoy's blind fire, grabbing a gun and effectively dodging the two small plates of explosives that had been thrown. ""And your sarcasm isn't lost on me, but your cocky demeanor is really starting to bug me. You have this particular-""<br/><br/>Before finishing his sentence the man whipped up a gun and unloaded the entire clip in his general direction. From behind steam billowed forward and slowly started to fill the room. And then the bullets started to dig into his suit. Before getting shot in the face he brought his left hand up to shield from the bullets. It didn't cover the full helmet but it prevented the bullets from hitting him in the head. In his left hand he caught a good bullet in his index finger, likely blowing it away from the joint. It was painful, like really painful, but LeeRoy had a plan. Once the clip was emptied Khazna rolled to the right and cleared a path straight to the door. LeeRoy smirked. ""Particular way about you that makes you think you're smarter than I am. As though I don't have the next twelve minutes figured out already in my head.""<br/><br/>'You're crazy if you think this is going to work.'<br/><br/><i>Nothing ever works, Voidman. Nothing ever works. It seems literally everyone I have ever met is some kind of psychic who is immune to anything that would naturally distract someone. But I think a high grade explosion should work.</i><br/><br/>'It's not going to.'<br/><br/>With detonator in hand he looked at the black mask wearing freak. ""Say hello to the ground, bitch."" In an almost comical fashion LeeRoy booked it for the doorway, sliding past Khazna with the smuggest grin on his face. At the doorway he pushed the detonator button and blew the C4 on the back wall, sending shrapnel and steam flying around the room. Even the highest tier character wouldn't enjoy hot metal being blasted into their face from the back of a room."

As though I don't have the next twelve minutes figured out already in my head.""<br/><br/>""Oh, well if you say so. I suppose you know all about the turkey knights waiting by your ship.""<br/><br/>Just then his opponent rose to the bait, running for the entrance way. ""Say hello to the ground, bitch.""<br/><br/>Khazna for a moment really wondered if this intruder was really going to make it that easy. He decided to chance it anyway. As an old Angar-Rylla General had once said,<i>Quickness is the essence of the war.</i>As Leeroy made his mad dash to the entrance, he inevitably brought himself toward Khazna's deadly reach. With remarkable speed Khazna suddenly become a blur of motion--hardly visible in the mist of steam. Meeting the intruder halfway, placing them both some six feet from the entrance. He shifted forward straight for the man then spun on one foot sharply as Leeroy attempted to pass him keeping Leeroy to Khazna's front the entire time. Thus he danced to Leeroy's left flank keeping just out of the mean's reach placing him at the immortals one O'clock. In a heartbeat it might have seemed he had allowed him to pass.<br/><br/>In the span of almost half a second Khazna swung with his gathered momentum from his sharp turn maneuver, slashing at the back of Leeroy. His blade would cut at an angle through Leeroy's upper right side of his trapezius muscle across his spine at an angle down to his lower left latissimus dorsi muscle. Effectively severing Leeroy's spine in one quick cut with almost 20 inches of Starlhrim combined with his strength and speed easily cutting through Leeroy's suit. A task made all the easier with Khazna's considerable reach of over 7 feet to work with. Without missing a beat Khazna reversed the fall of the blade expertly to then follow up with a second cut, this one a horizontal slightly upward swing to sever the man's head from his shoulders from left to right, both cuts taking place in the realm of a second and a half. Khazna was not taking any chances. It was time to find out just how immortal his foe really was."

And he was in sprint, so the concept of Khazna catching up to him was mind boggling. Mid stride it became quite evident that his plan was about to backfire horrifically, this horrifying backfire was only further cemented when a blade penetrated through his backside again and cleaved through his spine in one movement. The blade was withdrawn and LeeRoy had to act before a second slash was delivered.<br/><br/>'Did he just!?' In his mind the Voidman screamed out in horror, watching LeeRoy get gored was never a pleasant sight. Especially since she witnessed it in first person and third person simultaneously, there was nothing pretty about what was happening right now. And LeeRoy knew it would only get worse if he didn't act fast.<br/><br/>Without thinking about the repercussions he plunged his thumb down on the button for the C4 stuck to the wall. Halfway through the room, less distance between him and the wall was a good thing. Why? Well that's because Khazna's in the way of the shrapnel blast and powerful pressure wave, that's why. With the detonation of his explosive there was a 50/50 chance of getting shrapnel in his back, but it was better than decapitation. And since Khazna would NOT be expecting it, and since his position was compromising he was likely going to get a back filled with hot steaming metal thrown at well over penetrating speed. Oh, and the concussive force produced by the explosion, can't forget that."

The moment Khazna had sliced through the man’s spine. A resounding blast suddenly lifted Khazna from his feet and caused him to barrel into the man before him. The Cardinal managed to shift enough to recoil into a ball as best he could while he was suddenly launched from his feet effectively foiling his coup-de-grace. Debris flung from the explosion sailed through the air causing further destruction to the machines in the room. Thankfully the explosion had carried over from the other side of the room, putting them outside its killing range of shear kinetic force.<br/><br/>In moments a rolling wave of heat washed over them, burning the edges of Khazna's cloak even as hot pieces of metal lodged into his armored bodysuit piercing some places and causing spots of pain. But as with any suddenness of explosive violence Khazna would not be aware of the complete damage to his body until long after, but the minute feeling of wetness near his back foretold of at least a few cuts that had passed his ceramic plates. As it was the force dashed his left shoulder against the side of the entrance way. Sparks from his shoulder plates sprung up in then died away in an instant from the impact.<br/><br/>He flew through the entrance hot on the heels of Leeroy likely. His senses were momentarily jarred by the unexpected impact. On his current course it seemed he'd collide with the intruder as they hit the ground and slide some several feet from the room. Which if nothing else would give the Cardinal an unexpected soft landing compared to hard steel floor his adversary would find himself upon. He quickly rolled to his side until he reached the wall from prone Leeroy's right side, trying to recover his senses. The damage so far seemed to be a dislocated left shoulder, with numerous cuts from fragments that had defeated his suit and a bruised rib, his bodysuit protecting him from the majority of the damage which was largely fragments of metal it was specifically designed to resist.<br/><br/>Leaning against the wall Khazna took the time to catch his breath. Soon finding that task difficult as a quick observation revealed a fragment of metal piercing just below his right rib towards his back causing a jolt of pain with each inhale of breath.<br/><br/>""Well...that was unpleasant."" Khazna mouthed struggling to get to his feet. The three soldiers waiting at the hallways end had already started to advance forward at the sound of the explosion, guns ready. He was still dazed but tightened his grip on his sword. It was unlikely this Leeroy was going to be going anywhere soon with a severed spine. By all rights he should be paralyzed at least at the waist. But Khazna would not be surprised if he suddenly sprung to his feet as if nothing happened. That happened more then he liked to admit."

His eyes caught something in his hand mid flight, the detonator was still there. Swell. All of the force from the explosion had sent his body into some sort of strange flailing spiral of motion with the man who was trying to kill him right behind him. Well, from the neck down he can't feel anything anymore, questioning how he pushed the button himself. Probably just the muscles tensing up, or maybe divine intervention. Sometimes these things are best left to suspension of disbelief.<br/><br/>'You're fucked aren't you?'<br/><br/>""Yep."" His voice was gasping and unnatural, his lungs had been cut, crushed, and now completely nerve dead. But the words escaped him, and he looked to the ground swiftly coming up below him. His hands limply flopping behind him as he faceplanted into the metal flooring. And then, inconceivably, the worst possible thing happened. Literally the worst possible thing. As Khazna and LeeRoy landed the detonator landed button down, button down on the ground. His hand had fallen thumb first, the detonator was in that hand, and the button touched the floor. As khazna rose to his feet LeeRoy swore to himself.<br/><br/>""This just got a whole lot fu-"" He was going to say 'a whole lot fucking worse.' But the C4 in his right forearm detonated while still inside of his suit's storage compartment. Literally impossible for LeeRoy to dodge in any regular way it would have even more dangerous repercussions for those around him than the previous bomb. This time it was in a container of plating and metal, with LeeRoy's innards to add to the mix. As well, the 16 other explosive charges were detonated by the C4 block, and their small explosive nature was still more than enough to reap havoc with LeeRoy's body. The Voidman and LeeRoy himself groaned internally as a brutal explosion tore his body apart, bombarding everything in the hallway with scalding hot chunks of LeeRoy and his suit."

His eyes spotted a device face down radiating waves. A signal. Alarm barked in his head as he quickly realized the nature of the device and deduced the reason for the intruders own fear. His free left hand flew to his crest at his neck. A sharp hiss releasing the weights at his ankles and arms, he didn't even wait for them to hit the ground.<br/><br/><i>'This is going to hurt.'</i>He realized, but he found it preferable to staying here.<br/><br/>""This just go-""<br/><br/>In the blink of an eye Khazna vanished while the eyes of the three guardsmen eyes went wide as they recognized the detonator, though too late to do anything about it. The world become one great blur to Khazna where only the threads of reality were visible, but he already had a destination and direction in mind. He suddenly appeared 35 feet down the hall past the three guards pushing the limits of his time spent in such acceleration; he could go no further he knew, his injuries just would not allow it. That very instant the explosion rocketed down the hall becoming an intense inferno evolving into a fireball. He cursed realizing he was nowhere near far enough to escape the explosion and prepared for the inevitable bone crushing shock-wave...."

The guards who hadn't rushed to the other end of the hallway stared in awe and fear at this new being had come out of nowhere with deafeningly loud music blasting from thin air. One poor sod tried to shoot at the newly appeared god, we all know what happens when you make a god angry. There's a new beautiful pillar of salt adorning the hallways of the Angar-Ryllan flagship now, in case you were wondering.<br/><br/>A deep and melodic voice came from around the corner, the hand not moving from its position wrapped around the wall. ""MMmm-Mmph! Ooh, baby, the King is back and he knows exactly what he's here for!"" With a groan LeeRoy's consciousness watched helplessly as an annoying show as being put on nearby. ""Oh yes, I know exactly what dish is served up today."" Impossibly he showed up from the doorway opposite of the one he was reaching through, his hand still hanging on to the other door. ""Y'all know what that wish is baby?""<br/><br/>""Of course.""<br/><br/>'Get on with it!' The two were in agreement about only one thing, LeeRoy's 'patron god' was an asshole extraordinaire with an unnecessary love for flair.<br/><br/>The hand clinging to the door corner let go and snapped around the entirety of whatever circle he was forming with it, sending the blue god into a tornado of Mask-Like proportions, cleaning up the gore that was once LeeRoy in one quick motion and spitting it out into clean little bricks of gore. ""Somebody's body is no longer a body, and that somebody needs some new body parts."" A three pronged grin crossed his face, the split in his chin widening to show teeth lining it as well. ""And I think that somebody is LeeRoy, isn't it?"" In a sarcastic way he looked at the place where LeeRoy's consciousness was forced to stand. ""I can't tell, the mess was so bad that even MY eyes can't tell. Oh what a shame that I'll have to forcibly revive whoever this is, an then I'll have to take something away from him or her.""<br/><br/>'Oh you're just hamming it up aren't you, you cocky blue SOB!'<br/><br/>Oh and he was, the God's hands touched eachother at the palm and a thin black stick formed between them. the blue hand gripped the staff and he worked his magic. In an almost bibbity boppity boo fashion he tapped the pile of blood bricks on the ground. This was followed by the most grotesque sound imaginable. You know what sound that is? The sound of bones growing back, organs reforming, muscles stitching themselves back together, and skin congealing like skin on pudding. All of this horrendous noise making was followed by LeeRoy's screams of agony, and then silence as he falls to his knees. ""You're a bastard.""<br/><br/>'Uh, LeeRoy?'<br/><br/>The scientist clutched his throat wide eyed, realizing that something was horribly wrong with his voice. ""You changed it!? My voice!? Of all things, you stole my voice from me!?"" What was once a rather level tone, at an almost perfect middle tone, was now something that would make Clint Eastwood cough himself into hysterics.<br/><br/>His lips curled upwards into an awful smile, the blue tendrils on his head twisting around energetically.""You know the rules, LeeRoy. But I'm feeling in an awful mood, not a bad mood, but a mood to be awful.""<br/><br/>'He doesn't mean-'<br/><br/>LeeRoy's face turned bitter as he rose to his feet once again, entire body sore and weak. Like a newborn, but fully grown. ""You're gonna fuck me over further, aren't you.""<br/><br/>""Not per saaay."" The god bit his own lip and lied through his teeth. ""It'll help you out, if only marginally.""<br/><br/>'He's not going to help you, don't let him do this!'<br/><br/>Now resigned to what was to come LeeRoy groaned, trying to get over the change in his voice. ""Not much I can do, what're you gonna do?"" The god snapped his fingers and the pair was on his ship, a second snap and LeeRoy's ship was plummeting from sub-orbit on some other planet.<br/><br/>""I never said I was going to tell you, but I hope you have fun~""<br/><br/>'We're falling you know.'<br/><br/>""Yup."" With that, LeeRoy bolts to the controls of his ship. Whipping his helmet off of his head, only now noticing that his suit was brought back as well. Splendid. But that might not matter much, as they're in a direct nose dive towards the ground!"

His body drifting in the void of space, Arkaeis looked down to the planet known as Angar-Rylla. Though it dwarfed his vessel in size, it was nothing more than a solid object in a solid plane. He was far more than this, but he had no reason to gloat of it.<br/><br/>Casting the concept of size aside, the avatar began to drift down into the planet's atmosphere, though drift was hardly the term as he moved at top speed. Yet, to him, the world moved much more slowly, allowing him to react faster than almost any other. Soon, as he hit peak velocity, his weight increased monumentally by his own will and the properties of the void, Arkaeis suddenly slowed, for he was nearing the surface of the planet. However, its surface was hardly earthen, rather it was covered in light and the sheen of various mechanical objects. Unfazed by this, Arkaeis touched down in the center of a city, but he did not glance around to get his barrings. There was no need for that, he had already scanned the entirety of the sprawling metropolis. It took him only a few moments to do so, and his descent to Rylla's surface was plenty of time for that and far more. In fact, he had been able to accurately identify every single individual within the city so as to land in a location that had as few possibly violent individuals as possible.<br/><br/>As such his arrival, while it did not go unnoticed, would initially go without disturbance.<b>""Have no fear, children of creation,""</b>the conduit said in the native tongue of the Ryllans, he had already learned it through his Transcribed perception and vast mental capacity. It was easy for him to accomplish something as simple as this,<b>""...you may not recognize my form, but the one I serve is pervasive throughout the entirety of existence. I know you have seen it before. Let me remind you,""</b>some of the Ryllans backed away from him, seeming off-put by the strange aura that pervaded the area since his arrival. A soft smile formed on his features before a gentle wave of gaseous void formed in his hand as he raised it in front of himself.<br/><br/>As he did so, he noted that several of these individuals, and the city itself, had alerted the authorities to an unauthorized presence. He chuckled, for as he raised the sphere they were nearly there.<b>""This is aging, death, destruction, to which I am sure your race and its empire are quite familiar. You have spread it throughout the multiverse, and because of it you have drawn my attention. Your existence offsets the balance, but it is not the fault of the citizenry. So fear not, I mean your ilk no harm, it is the higher echelons of your society to whom I must speak,""</b>with these words uttered the gaseous sphere of void rose from his palm, into the air, and continued to do so till it suddenly shot thirty feet above him, drawing the crowd's attention, as Arkaeis vanished from their sight completely.<br/><br/>Now standing atop one of the skyscrapers of the bustling metropolis, the conduit looked down upon the square he had been in where the authorities had arrived, cleared the crowd, and began to isolate the small pocket of void that he had released. Smiling slightly, he watched with interest as the energetic barriers they utilized began to degrade with continued exposure to the gaseous sphere. Its polarity was neutral, but he had altered the way it exhibited this property slightly, he had allowed it to expand instead of intensify its density. The sphere was growing and the more they tried to contain it, the larger it seemed to become, devouring, and degrading, everything that it came into contact with. Eventually they managed to utilize some form of stasis field in tangent with a layered barrier, which slowed its progress considerably. At this point, Arkaeis took control, allowing its expansion to cease and reverse entirely. It regained its density, returning to its former size. The officers looked at it with astounded expressions, they had plainly never come into contact with something of this nature. He was sure that they were familiar with magic, but this was something entirely in its own realm...literally.<br/><br/>Thinking to draw the attention of the military, Arkaeis began to materialize gaseous spheres of voidal energy all around the metropolis, and remove their ability to retain figurative mass within themselves. He increased their expansion rate and kept track of their overall status mentally and perceptually.<br/><br/>Chaos began to ensue in the city and the planet became a beacon.<br/><br/>Someone had decided to draw the attention of one of the most dangerous and powerful military forces in the multiverse, and he had no intention of backing down, no matter the opposition. Even better was the very fact that Arkaeis expended no energy other than that which was required to manifest the small spheres. Their expansion was simply a product of the void's inherent qualities, not his manipulations. Thus, his energy would be once more at its peak if anyone chose to oppose him. As such, he nullified his presence, pulling the entirety of its form inside of him and deciding to exude only the concept of nothingness itself, for while he could not use it to destroy in the purest sense, he could use it to destroy any form of his own presence. As such, his very lifeforce would vanish from perception completely, as if he did not exist at all.<br/><br/>There, in this state, his pitch black orbs ever vigilant, Arkaeis would wait for the adversaries that were sure to come. He was curious to see who thought themselves strong enough to stand against him.<br/><br/>It would be an interesting experiment, he thought. Interesting indeed."

The girl's voice was wary, filled with trepidation as she stared at the oscillating vortex of energy and the snow that fell lazily around it.<br/><br/>""I think it's a doorway."" The man standing slightly behind her, taller than the average human and twice as broad, spoke with a calm confidence that managed to quell the girl's anxiety. At least somewhat.<br/><br/>""Where does it go?""<br/><br/>""I don't know. All I know is that it's been calling to me, ever since the day I was reborn."" He preferred calling it that. Reborn. It implied that he was still somehow alive.<br/><br/>""You're going to go through it, aren't you? That's why you brought me here.

""The longer I stay here the harder they'll look. They can't afford to let an asset like me run free. I've left clues that will lead them here, away from you and your mother, and if they follow me then so be it. At least you'll be safe."" There was a pause and the girl wrapped her own arms around his waist. ""Besides, it's not like they can kill me. The nazis gave it their best shot and barely even managed a scratch.""<br/><br/>""Will you ever be back?""<br/><br/>""I don't know that either. Maybe.

No one can beat you.""<br/><br/>""I've lost too many friends to believe that anymore. I have to leave."" He turned and knelt down in front of her, pulling her into a tight hug, not wanting to ever let go again. He knew he had to, though, and set her back down several moments later.<br/><br/>""Take care of your mom.""<br/><br/>Then he stood and strode through the snow to a woman standing next to a car. She was beautiful, this woman, though her eyes were marred by the glistening of unshed tears.<br/><br/>""I wish you didn't have to go.""<br/><br/>""So do I. If there was any other way, I would take it.""<br/><br/>""I love you.""<br/><br/>""I know.""<br/><br/>He stepped closer and pulled the woman into a kiss, then summoned all the willpower he had and let her go, turning to walk determinedly through the portal to he knew not where.<hr/>He was in a room. A very large room. Filled with arches that let to yet more rooms, along with arches that contained more swirling portals like the one he'd stepped out of. there was a figure seated on a throne at one end of the room, skeletal in nature but he could feel the energy pulsing from it. It did not stir, and he dared not draw its attention, so he moved quickly and quietly, selecting another doorway at random and stepping through.<hr/>The first thing that hit him was the cold. The chill permeated his skin and even touched the muscle, but failed to delve further into his body. Even so, it was the most pervasive cold he'd ever felt. The second thing hit him when he tried to draw a breath, and no air entered his lungs. His first thought was water, but there was none of that either. There was none of anything, in fact, and he thought for a moment he had finally found something that could kill him. Minutes passed, however, and nothing changed. The chill remained, the air did not return, and his body continued to function. He must be more powerful than he had first thought, to be independent of the need for air.<br/><br/>With the panic receding, he was free to turn his attention to his surroundings and was surprised to discover that he did not actually have surroundings. the only thing around him for miles was empty space. There was a planet not too far away, but to him it might as well have been unreachable. Until he got over the shock of being in space and remembered he could fly, at least.<br/><br/>Descending to the planet's surface provided him with one new revelation after another, seemingly without end. Beings that stood like humans yet possessed extra eyes of limbs or a variety of other features he had never thought could exist on a life-form, cars that could fly just as easily as he did, buildings that very nearly scraped the sky, and images that floated in midair without seeming to have any source. If he hadn't been who he was and seen what he'd seen, it might very well have been too much for him to take in.<br/><br/>His moment to take everything in and marvel at it passed quickly, however, as his eyes fell upon one dark void after another, each seemingly intent on eating away as much of the city as it could. He could feel these voids, somehow. It was an ache in his bones that told him of their wrongness, a sense of dread in the back of his mind that screamed at him to run. There was evil in those dark orbs, and for the first time in his life, he was not certain that he was prepared to face it.<br/><br/>But James White was not the kind of man to shy away from his duty, and ever since he was a boy, long before he'd been reborn, he'd made it his duty to help the innocent. Whoever was causing this had to be stopped.<br/><br/>To that end, James halted his descent above one of the larger orbs and stared directly into it, his eyes shifting colors from blue to dark red, then beginning to glow faintly, then brightly. Moments later, they erupted in beams of sickly red energy that lanced out at the center of the orb beneath him, dark energy cascading down to meet dark energy. He didn't know if the tactic would work, but something told him that physical force would be as much as useless, and this was his only other option."

Following its progress as well as that of hundreds of other individuals, the avatar watched as the city reacted to the many expanding orbs. Smiling softly, Arkaeis turned to an area where the authorities were attempting to contain one of the constructs. It amused him to see that their stasis fields and multilayered barriers had little effect, only slowing the process till they too were engulfed by the destructive essence. Shaking his head and shifting his perception again he found his senses focused once more on the newcomer.<b>""Hmmm?""</b><br/><br/>A slight look of confusion flashed across his features before his smile returned and his eyes deepened with interest.<br/><br/>The beam hit the orb, and a strange reaction occurred. The orb grew faster and then seemed to collapse inwards, imploding violently on itself and creating a brief atmospheric vacuum within several yards of its location. His smile became a smirk as he raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and called back around 50% of the other orbs, returning their energy to his form even while he moved to his top speed before decelerating almost instantaneously around twenty yards away from the one who had just managed to disrupt the balance of one of his many constructs.<b>""Greetings,""</b>Arkaeis stated with smooth voice and serene expression, he appeared quite pleased to have come across the man.<b>""I see you have so kindly assisted the Ryllans...interesting. I suppose you are not aware of their ways, I take it. Or are you aligned with them? It would be wonderful if you were of a considerable rank in their society. It'd make this encounter all the more meaningful...for me at least.""</b>His perception shifted, allowing him to view light as most humans do, in combination with electrical impulses and chemical shifts in his surroundings and those within it. Twitching slightly as he noticed the movement of the electromagnetic spectrum, energies, and other such occurrences in his surroundings. Thus he decided to filter this once more, removing such from his perception for the moment and simply viewing the interactions within James' body.<br/><br/>Ignoring the chemicals in the air and in those making up the surrounding structures, he observed with intense, but nigh undetectable, scrutiny the man who might become either ally or enemy at a moment's notice. In preparation for an attack of some kind, Arkaeis altered the polarity of his own skin, shifting it from a malleable interweave of solid-liquid state with a neutral polarity, to a negative polarity. As he did so, he gathered voidal energies beneath his skin, but above his equivalent of muscles, shifting it to a negative polarity as well and keeping it in its non-manifested state till it was necessary to manifest it in its more physicalized form. As such, he had prepared himself for defense if he were attacked, and as it did not seem that his opponent was armed, it would be to his advantage to prepare for combat of the direct melee variety.<br/><br/>Regardless of the man's decision and disposition, the interaction would prove to be interesting. Afterall, the man was infused with voidal essence...he could<i>sense</i>that much."

The sphere began to expand far more rapidly as his beams struck it, and he ceased their firing almost immediately. He did not wish to cause more harm than had already been caused.<br/><br/>Relief flooded through him moments later though as the sphere, apparently having been overloaded by his blast, began to rapidly shrink in on itself until nothing remained. It had worked. Now he just needed to apply the same technique to the spheres that remained. His eyes fastened on one several blocks away and he began to float in that direction, but stopped when it suddenly faded from existence. That one was most definitely not his doing. Unless... Maybe each sphere was a separate entity, some part of a greater whole, and it had receded when it sensed the threat to itself. It was a plausible theory, as far as he knew of these matters. Which admittedly wasn't much.<br/><br/>Then the man rushed up to his left, moving at a speed that would have entirely eluded the eye of a human. Impressive. A second theory began to form in his mind as the man spoke in some language he had never heard before. He was either one of this world's police officers, or the source of the orbs that had been eating away at the city. Given the nature of his dress and weaponry and the aura of dread that rolled off of him, a hundred times stronger than what he had felt from the orbs, James could pretty easily conclude that he was the latter. No harm in being sure though. He just hoped the guy spoke English as well as whatever gibberish he was uttering now.<br/><br/>""Is this your doing?"" He gestured to the chaos below, hoping that if the man didn't speak English it would be enough to get his point across."

This man spoke english, rather than theAngar-Ryllan that Arkaeis had recently adapted,<b>""Yes, you could say that,""</b>he said, now in English. He would speak in this language till further notice, it seemed the man would at least understand that.<b>""It was not out of a wish to destroy, despite the very nature of the energy,""</b>he stated, glancing to his right at a cowering Ryllan.<b>""While I cannot choose whom it does and does not effect, I can keep the energy from nearing those who I mean no harm, such as most of these citizens.""</b>He then turned back to James and tilted his head once more, noticing the man's strange, but all too familiar, energetic make-up as he looked at him again.<b>""Afterall, it is not the Citizens of Angar-Rylla who I wish to quell, it is their leaders that have offset the balance,""</b>while his words could be perceived as hostile, he said them with smooth tone and calm features, as if they held no negative intent at all, for to him they did not. Curious, Arkaeis looked deeper into the man's biological make-up, noticing that it was hardly biological at all. He appeared human on the surface, but below he was something else. A much more powerful, durable material made up most of his body, and it all appeared to be powered by the same force that Arkaeis himself controlled: Void, or Nether, as some called it.<br/><br/>This intrigued him, but he would not yet make it known that he was aware of what the man was. Afterall, he was still unsure as to his intentions. If the man decided to attack before he finished any of his actions, he would react rather than continue them."

Though it seemed he had nothing good to say. He was here to restore balance of some kind, which could mean everything from revenge to intergalactic cop. Heh. Intergalactic. There's a word he never thought he'd be using. Come to think of it... Where did he even learn that word?<br/><br/>He'd have to figure that out later. Right now the man in front of him was still threatening the lives and livelihoods of the citizens in this city, and even though the tone of his voice indicated that this wasn't about revenge, it was still a volatile situation that had to be resolved before his orbs began eating people in their homes, whether he intended them to or not. ""Disperse the rest of your spheres and leave, or I'll have to do it for you."" Only problem was, he'd have to take out the man himself before going after the spheres, otherwise he could just make more. He ignored the sense of dread building in his bones as he stared across the twenty yard distance between them, and really hoped that instinct was wrong this time."

He noted the man's posture and general demeanor. He seemed on edge, though that was hardly surprising, and as such Arkaeis did little other with the sphere which floated above his palm 'cept allow its form to shift and flow roughly in place. He would stay like this till otherwise necessary, likely depending on if the man decided to be hostile, which it appeared he would rather soon."

He floated down to the roof that the other man now stood upon, landing softly in spite of his mass. ""Their lives may be safe from your orbs."" The man spoke the truth about that much, at least. James' senses told him there had been no loss of life below, so far at least. ""But what of their livelihoods? How are they to live when your orbs have eaten away their homes and jobs? You may be powerful, but I doubt even you can predict every eventuality, every building that will collapse due to your meddling and crush the innocent beneath a mountain of debris. There must be an end to this.""<br/><br/>Without any further ado, James burst forward too fast for any human eye to follow, gripping a protruding antenna not more than two meters from where he first stood and hurling it directly toward the other man's shoulder, the one that connected the arm holding the orb to the rest of his body, with all the speed of a sniper's bullet. The man had to be stopped, but James was not yet willing to kill him."

Energy was transferred and Arkaeis' orb began expanding at roughly the same speed that James began moving, and just a millisecond beforehand. The man's trajectory, not to mention the shifting positions of his bodily movements, were followed, noted and adapted to at tremendous speeds.<br/><br/>Thus, the moment James' proximity to the antenna belied an obvious result, Arkaeis needed only to predict and adjust accordingly. The man had, prior, glanced at the orb in his hand, and had briefly reacted as if he'd have to defend against an attack, one that had not come. The man had not made any effort, or shown any sign, that he intended on killing him, and Arkaeis was noting the position of his body as he readied himself to throw the antenna. To him it was all rather telegraphed, even if only minimally so.<br/><br/>Thus, the moment that James' body was in position to throw, the sphere coated Arkaeis' hand and forearm in layers of repelling voidal energy, obviously charged negatively. It had manifested in this polarity and liquid state, so there was no need to alter it immediately. He waited till the makeshift spear had traveled approximately 1/4th of the distance it was meant to till he turned his body sideways, his right arm still shrouded in void. Due to the speed of the antenna it would reach just before where his shoulder would've been moments before just as his hand slid into position, allowing the metal pole to slide right through his fingers. The void's repulsion would move opposite to the direction that the antenna was moving, slowing it greatly till Arkaeis' hand made direct contact with it, stopping it in its tracks even as the polarity reversed, becoming attractive.<br/><br/>Thus the antenna was stopped dead with Arkaeis' hand directly in the middle of its length, the attack neutralized completely. Tilting his head slightly, Arkaeis' smile dipped somewhat, his expression becoming a modicum more serious as he considered how to proceed.<b>""That was not intended to be a killing blow,""</b>he stated bluntly, as if to make it just slightly more apparent how far he was capable to read into people's actions and reactions.<b>""I think you greatly underestimate my ability to prepare for a myriad of possibilities, now, if you intend to impede me further, then I must inquire upon you name. Of course, to be polite I will tell you mine first.""</b>He made no movement beyond what he had done to stop the antenna, with the exception being that he appeared to relax slightly, not that he had been all that tense throughout.<b>""I am Arkaeis, and you?""</b>Should James make another move, Arkaeis would react as needed, but for the moment he would observe."

He watched his movements just as closely as Arkaeis watched his own, and what his movements revealed was telling. He was fast, for sure, but not as fast as James could be. He watched his eyes, waited until his attention was on the antenna he was catching rather than the man that had thrown it. It was a foolish mistake to assume there would be no follow-up, to leave yourself unprepared for a second defense. He burst forward and covered the distance between them in an instant, while Arkaeis was still focused on the spear, and his right fist drove toward the man's unprotected left side at the same instant the polarity of the void around the spear would be shifting. The blow carried only a fraction of James' full strength, but would be far more than enough to pulverize a granite boulder into little more than dust, which did not bode well for the health of its target should it land."

As his opponent moved, his left palm shifted so it aimed downwards and backwards slightly, releasing a pulse of negatively charged void even as the rest of his body released a small amount of void over the entirety of its surface, coating his skin in negatively charged energies. This would slow the movement of James' fist whereas the pulse from his left hand would offset the trajectory, pushing the fist downwards and back, just so much so that it would not hit his body at all. The repelling force on his back would further offset the trajectory of the man's fist. If this were successful, Arkaeis would vanish, reappearing 8 yards away, standing sideways, the antenna appearing to be inhand. In actuality it was levitating, but from James' position at the time, that would not be apparent due to Arkaeis' body blocking it partially from his view.<br/><br/><i>He is certainly faster than me, but he made an assumption that I had shifted my focus,</i>Arkaeis chuckled at this thought slightly, though a smile played across his features only briefly before it was replaced by a cold seriousness.<b>""Well?</b>"

It would be a tactically disastrous move. Once you went on the offensive, you kept your momentum going or you lost. The germans had learned that the hard way in Russia. Something deep inside the soldier told him that he couldn't let this man have a moment's respite, couldn't let him gather his energies for a concerted assault. Perhaps it was a remnant of that feeling of dread that still lingered in his chest, or perhaps his senses were telling him something his mind couldn't quite decipher yet, either way, this was not the time to pause for conversation.<br/><br/>He followed the other man yard-for-yard as he darted away, never letting the distance between them grow to more than a few feet. When the other man stopped, James didn't, his left fist hurtling toward the front left side of the other man's ribcage, his forward momentum compounding the force of the blow and giving it more than enough power to break through another defense like the one the man had demonstrated less than a second ago."

The Clockwork Man was quite at home in such a strange land, where technology and magic were pretty much one in the same. Though he could not say he was as of yet comfortable, it was a lot to acclimatise too, even when one happens to be a metal man sustained by magic. As if the very reality was a sharp sound the Clockwork Man, George Elmore, woke from his waking reverie. Just in time to avoid minor embarrassment, funnily enough, as he caught himself about to drop into a fifteen foot ditch. All around him was rubble, scrap metal, a massive city sized junk-yard. It was the perfect location for the poorer inhabitants of Mystique, lower classes of the Mystans, to live and prosper as best they could. They had a strange connection with technology, even the lowest could create machines far beyond what George himself used to be capable of. They had an inherent gift for Technomancy, a skill the Clockwork Man shared, and so it was that he found himself pursued by three young Mystans, and their robotic toys.<br/><br/>The smallest, and arguably the most talkative, saw him stop abruptly before the ditch. She giggled somewhat giddily and berated the automaton.<br/><br/>“You’re not very good at looking where you’re going are you metal man?” The young Mystan mocked him from somewhere behind, and he sighed inwardly. With what remained of his dignity, he kicked off from the ground, his dark metallic frame gliding through the air to land on the other side of the ditch. He straightened the Victorian jacket he wore and tilted his head in his form of a grin.<br/><br/>“Hey, no fair.” The girl shouted, while her two elder brothers just smiled and called their robotic aids to their side, using them to cross the ditch with little effort. The girl flew across far less gracefully, clutching hand-holds on a small but deceptively powerful old scout drone. When all the Mystans were safely on the other side George continued his quick, but slowed, stride towards the settlement in the scrap-plains far off into the distance. He noted with a cursory glance that the sun was soon to set, and the red moon of Mystique was rising on the far horizon. He quickened his pace ever so slightly.<br/><br/>“We don’t need no escort anyway metal man.” One of the older Mystans told him, though he was barely a teenager and the oldest of the group. George had found the three working on something which had caught his eye from the distance, but turned out to be little more than a seeing lens. The middle child had been trying to convince the others it was time to head home; he happened to agree with him and interjected to say so. The three had stared at him with something akin to fear, the memory hurt.<br/><br/>“I’m not an escort, I want to trade with your parents.” George explained, for the third time. It was a lie of course, and the children knew it. They were accustomed to automatons, machines with souls, but this was the first of his kind they had encountered. Their probing magic had irked him slightly, disrespectful technomancy, disgraceful. He had spat back at them with a sharp stinging blow which emanated from his Soul Crystal. They had apologized profusely of course, but just looking at him they somehow knew he wasn’t from their planet. He sympathised with them, he was a dangerous looking thing. Here he was though, escorting three children he had only just met, that instinct had never died in him even though near everything else had long since faded. He sighed inwardly and jumped on top of the discarded wing of an old jet.<br/><br/>From his vantage point, he saw the settlement in the distance, surrounded by corrugated walls and spotlights, it was a safe place, beckoning. He could also judge that it was a mere half an hour walk away at this pace, but with a feeling of what he guessed was dismay he noted the sun was already creeping below the horizon. Darkness was upon them, and like some cliché horror movie, that was when the monsters came out.<br/><br/>His first encounter with the Day Sleepers, or the Night Wakers, or the Broken Ones, they had many names, was three days into his excursion of Mystique. They were an odd assortment of machine, metal beast, magical automaton like himself, and other decrepit creatures. Their souls had been broken, or perhaps time had driven them mad. Regardless, they shut down during the day and recharged, and at night their only remaining function kicked in. They sought enemies, which was anything organic or hostile by his reckoning, and attempted to rip them apart. The settlers here had defences armed against them, but they were far from mobile, and so these children by his reckoning were in great danger. They should have been more careful, he thought sardonically, as he himself was unwilling to hide from the Broken Ones.<br/><br/>“Hurry up.” He called, and they hastened. Darkness fell around them."

The Class-D sun dipped behind a crest of mountains, creating a kind of twinkle effect, with two red spouts of light extended across the mountains ranged. As if the sun was covering it with wide arms. It was not quite night yet, but light was fast fading, even so, few would take much notice of the peculiar dark spec in the sky that was slowly growing in size and detail. It might have become visible to those on the ground with sharp eyes as it burst through the cloud cover of acidic mist that normally covered the world. Leaving behind a small round whole in the clouds above which already was fast closing. The spec above, now reveling itself to be a sort of craft was already descending with alarming speed but perfect control. As it neared the ground, it momentarily vanished behind a ring of debris that marked the beginnings of a massive grave yard of torn metals and broken pieces of various machines. The craft was sliver dark grey hue, and seemed perfectly smooth, shaped vaguely like a seed of a sort. It reflected no light from the slowly setting sun however, but like everything else around it, cast lengthening shadows. It hovered over a clearing of wreckage that was mostly free of scraps of metal. When it was only a couple feet off the ground, legs extended from beneath it, and softened the crafts landing. It sank partly into the broken earth but found purchase.<br/><br/>Impossibly, while there had been no indication of any lines or other hints of an opening. A part of its underbelly opened and a ramp extended down to the trash rich planet floor. Out of the alien craft came three figures garbed head to toe in what could only be described as battle armor. They varied in height, but the tallest among them was no greater then 6 feet. The were heavily armed, so it seemed, each carrying cross shaped weapons. But no ammo could be seen prepped on the end of the devices. Their crosses also seemed bent back, more like arrows then crosses, as if they were readied for a shot. They were all masked and hooded, concealing their faces from prying eyes. They moved with uncanny grace, producing no sound at all with practiced step, even though logic demanded their foot falls at least make a light 'thud' on the ramp seemingly made of metal. The fanned out and crouched at the bottom of the ramp, each raising his own crossbow and facing a different direction. The one in the middle, the tallest, possibly their leader. Raised a clutched fist into the air level with his head. Quickly but also just as silently moving, four more exited the craft down the ramp.<br/><br/>The scanned their surroundings with careful watchful eyes hidden behind their visors, as six more followed in their wake. The last figure descended the ramp like a shadow given shape. The leader of the group was now standing at the ramp's bottom, as if waiting. Clad in black like the rest, but tellingly thinner and less heavily armed or armored, the figure exited the ramp and stood before the tall specimen. A discerning eye would easily tell this one held a feminine figure unlike the others. Quick hand signs between the two followed, then the women nodded and moved to the edge of the ring the group had made. The ramp was pulled up into the craft, and moments latter, by some trick of light or another, it seemed to vanish as if it had never been there to begin with. The silent hunters then dispersed. They knew their objective.<br/><br/>Shenestra the Huntress knew her objective as well, and it would be decidedly less exciting then that of her comrades. Hidden behind the wreckage of some heavily armored vehicle, resembling a kind of tank without wheels. She watched the dark figures stalk their way across the broken land. Moving with careful yet purposeful steps, toward a settlement crowned atop a small incline. The hunters had a simple task in the name of their ancient order. One that would hopefully help starve off the inevitable exciton of their entire race. They had learned of Mystique some time ago in their ever continued march through the Multiverse. Once more they had learned of the being who lived here. Their skill and ability in Technomancy, rare masters of the art much like the Death Eaters themselves. Or at least masters they had once been, before the fall, before their knowledge had been lost forever. Now however, that would all change.<br/><br/>It was here they hoped to learn the arts from the Mystans had harbored on this world. Many raids were even now taking places on small enclaves around the planet. Their purpose for once, not to destroy but to capture alive as many of the planets inhabitants as they could. That was the responsibility at least, of her brethren, her's was to infiltrate the settlement before hand, and disarm or sabotage whatever defenses they possessed. It would a simple task, for even now darkness fell, that short twilight before the sun fully set. Making now the prefect time to strike, where the shadows were at their longest. That was the plan at least, Shenestra thought. What they had learned of this planet had also included sparse information of other strange horrors that stalked the night. So the inhabitants would be at their most wary, but they would be waiting for the strike of mechanical beast, not the silent steps of her kin. It wast he confusion soon to follow that they hoped to exploit.<br/><br/>She moved with ease over and often under debris scattered across the land. She dashed under a low hanging beam then, leaped over a turned over pillar. She already felt the oppressing aura that hung heavily in this place. Shenestra only smiled warily. Her Death Eater technology at least would not be hindered in this place, for it relied already on the principles of Mystan technology. Albeit, on a very different prospective of the art. As if summoned by her thought, the spirit within her Wrist Gauntlet rang a warning in her minds ear. She froze behind a turned over vehicle of a kind and waited. She switched her visor imaging to ENVG, and motion detection, to compensate for the lack of lighting. Though her own natural sight was able to pierce the darkness easily enough. Soon enough she, first heard, then saw what her ever alert slaved spirit had warned her of earlier.<br/><br/>The laughter of children could just be faintly heard, over the otherwise fairly quiet landscape. Something that would soon change no doubt. Clothed in shadows and peering through the a gaping hole in under side of the vehicle. Shenestra observed what looked to be three- no four humanoid figures, along with what looked to be three droids or pets. One of them was significantly larger than the other three who followed. Switching vision modes again, she discovered that her guess had been mostly right. The three of the four seemed to be children, hardly into their teens, the larger figure however did not seem to be a Mystan of any kind. In fact she was certain he was no sentient organic, as a quick configuration of her visors further acknowledged it as a sort of automaton. Of what make or design it was, no further information was forth coming. She was not surprised at the automatons presence here. After all considering the planet she was presently on they were likely a common sight.<br/><br/>The small group was of no importance to her or her mission, but they were heading toward the same settlement. The Skull-Visor revealed they were no more then 300 feet, or 91.44 meters away. It would prove a simple task to shadow this group to the settlement, They might even provide her with easy access. With a quickly tapped command on her wrist Gauntlet, Shenestra being suddenly seemed to have vanished from existence. As she was temporally placed in a pocket dimension. The world around her took on a pale greyish hue, and seemed to her like she was looking at it as if from behind a stained glass. Even if someone possessed some means of seeing thermal pattens or the like, they would find it irritably impossible to discover her presence until she revealed herself again. She could not remain this way for long however, so she wasted little time in following the iron man and his company..."

The night had truly reached them now, him and his small group of merry children. However, when the Clockwork Man destroyed the first of the Broken Ones with his pistol, they were cowed into fearful silence.<br/><br/><i>They don’t even look like humans, really</i>, he thought. That wasn’t completely true of course, the Mystans were humanoid in appearance, but they sported far larger eyes than humans and their hair grew either incredibly dark red or jet black. Save for that small difference, they were uncannily similar to humans, though they lacked the little finger and the fingers they did have were longer and more deft, and their necks were marked with coloured grooves ranging from pale green to dark blue, marking the age of the individual. Otherwise they were similar indeed, and all of them favoured fur lined clothing which wouldn’t have looked out of place in Scotland or England even.<br/><br/>Once again he was dragged from his deep thought by the sounds of metal on scrap, the Broken Ones were still all around him and he was a good ten minute walk from the camp. He needed to get closer, and then the Warding Machines the Mystans employed to deal with hostile technology like the Broken Ones would kick into action and do his job for him.<br/><br/>“Quickly.” He called, jumping onto a slightly elevated pile of scrap to survey the area. The Scrap Yard was like a maze, and difficult for the Mystan’s to traverse. Though the distance to the camp was relatively short now, it would still be hard going for the young ones, and all around them the Broken Ones lurked. Remnants of the Eternal Machine Wars, George was growing adept at picking out the most dangerous. Some even posed a significant threat to him, but he had been on the planet long enough to pick those out, armed as they were with Lazer technology they were difficult to sneak past, it was only his technomagic nudging them the right way which had spared him a dangerous confrontation.<br/><br/>The three children struggled on, as he fired two shots in quick succession emptying his gun into a leaping scout bot. Strangely, it resembled a wolf, though half its head was sheared away and the other half was blown to pieces by his rounds. His free left hand crept into his satchel to seize more Elmorium covered bullets, and load them deftly into the Clockwork Pistol, as he leapt off the pile of scrap and re-joined the group, leading them on at a brisk jog. Suddenly, as if crashing into a brick wall, he was brought to a stop.<br/><br/>A familiar buzzing worked through his Soul Crystal, and he realised that they had made it into the protective shield of the Camp. The Warding Shield struck against any foreign technology, with a combination of technological interference and powerful Technomancy. Luckily, the Clockwork Man had become friends with a few of the Mystans since his arrival, and they had taught him the trick of protecting oneself from the effects. It was still difficult, even for a powerful Technomancer such as himself, but with one last effort he was returned to full strength, and walked through the most debilitating part of the shield. The group followed him, and he led them on, sparing one last glance behind him at the wolves at the door, so to speak. They could come no further, though this did not stop them running the length of the shield in irritation. He turned away, leading the small group up and towards the large metal gates of the camp. They opened before him, and he and the Mystans hurried inside.<br/><br/>After saying goodbye to the children, and accepting the slightly worried thanks of the parents, he decided to pay a visit to the elder of the camp. Inside the gates the Mystan scrap settlement was as much a maze, but of homes and abandoned merchant stalls. The hour was late, and most had retired to their homes, which resembled strangely high-tech shanties. In the middle, smoke billowed from a larger almost tepee esque building. He headed towards it, and with a brief word to the two guards outside, armed with lazer carbines that could blow a hole through an elephant, not that they had any, he was admitted inside."

Not far behind the small group of Mystans and their artificial construct guardian, she stalked them until they reached the outer perimeter of the settlement. Observing as the yet unidentified automaton dispatched any wild construct that came to near. Suddenly he stopped in a curious fashion, yet after a moment it proceeded along with it's charges and their droids, and more curiously the hostile constructs did not give chase. In fact they seemed to wonder back and forth as if pacing before some unseen barrier. Shenestra quickly realized that this was likely the work of a ward many of the larger outer Mystans settlements of used for their own protection. Designed to keep out anything hostile, which often comprised of the constructs that wondered the waste.<br/><br/>Wasting little time Shenestra circled around to a larger stand of broken rubble populated by metal skeletal remains of countless machines. While in the wraith realm, Shenestra could not affect the physical world, just as it could do her no real harm. The barrier however would need dealing with in the material realm if she was to pass through it without alerting the Mystans within. The cloak dissolved around her with a thought, bringing back color and proper sound to the world around her once more. She could now feel the cool night wind blowing from the south, and discerned that with the acid clouds above, few stars could be seen, and the red moon of the planet was waxing crescent in its lunar phase. Making for a particularly dark night, save for the few lights left on in the small settlement ahead. Working quickly she activated her wrist gauntlet, scanning the unseen barrier ahead. He visors gave it a see-through kind of lighting effect, almost like glass or ice. Moments later, hacking into the barrier with the essence of the gauntlets trapped spirit, Shenestra found a series of codes that translated to the correct frequency in which to bypass the barrier without alerting a soul.<br/><br/>In moments Shenestra was through, none too late as a particularly large construct happened upon her hiding place while hunting in the dark. It halted at the edge of the barrier near the spot she had passed through. Leaving her to mildly wonder how they could still see in the dead of night. While her wraith gate charged for the present time, Shenestra easily passed through the shadows of many broken fragments of Mystan technology still littering the edges of the camp. Ever careful of any alarms or other forms of security, she reached the walls unmolested. The encampment was circled by a wall standing some 18 feet high. Mystan guards armed with 'wands' wondered the walls walkway which was conjoined with varies watch towers. The wands they possessed were a mix of technology and magic, in common Technomancer fashion. What they could and would fire was anyone's guess. Such was the deadliness of such weapons in they could surprise one foe with brilliant jets of freezing ice, or subtle but powerful missiles of magical force.<br/><br/>Shenestra was in no mood to discover what each guard could unless if given half a mind to do so, and waited until a gap appeared in their patrols. Counting off the seconds in her head, she raised her gauntlet of her left arm and a kind of whip sprung forth. The single claw like hook at the end pierced the surface of the wall just under its top edge. With all the dexterity of a spider, Shenestra ambled her way up as silent as the wind. Then wait for an oblivious guard to walk by her while she waited just below. Then sprung over the edge of the wall, rolled to the other end, and glided over the rail. Just a few feet behind the Mystan, who himself had not heard a thing.<br/><br/>From then on the hard part had ended, but now was the most critical and difficult segment of her objective. Orbital surveillance beforehand of the camp had revealed a major buildup of energy, arcane in nature, being centered in the western edge of the settlement. An overlay map appeared as a part of her HUD within her visor, using her current position on the south end of the small township. She made her way through back alleys and avenue narrow walkthroughs. Training coupled with years of experience allowed her to remain hidden from watchful eyes. In minutes she had reached a rather large building compared to the many others she had come across thus far. He map revealed it too be the source of the power spike. Thus leaving little doubt it was the source of the settlements shields. Once they were shut down, there would be little standing between the settlement and the hordes of blood thirsty constructs outside. In the confusion soon to follow, is where her comrades were to abduct key Mystans. Skilled masters of Technomagic.<br/><br/>The building was well guarded, of course it would be, but those standing guard were fairly lax, unsurprising. None had dreamed of an outsider sneaking herein to sabotage the settlements primary source of power and protection. Still there were many, and it took time and patience to bypass the security measures. Shenestra reached the inner chambers of the building, gaining access from abandoned underground passages, likely linking to old long forgotten bunkers. Passing through the halls she continued to dodge patrols with increasing difficulty. After all she had no wish to dispatch any and possibly give away her presence too early. She lacked her primary cloaking device, but still possessed her optical camouflage. In time she acquired access to a vent that led her to the inner chambers, looking through steel grates. Shenestra discovered the room was full of all kinds of overly large cables, wires, pipes, or pillars containing or wrapped in all three. Silently as possible Shenestra opened the grate, leaving it hanging open by one screw. She fell to the floor landing in a crouch. In the middle of the room were three small crystals levitating, or perhaps suspended in a field between two larger pillars. One connected to the ceiling the other the floor.<br/><br/>Two burly Mystans stood sentinel, one one each side of the crystals and their pedestal. Each armed with a wand, up close they looked lie nothing more than mere pistols. Though of very queer make, for their design was almost absurd. Still she did not doubt their deadliness. Hiding behind a pillar, she observed that they both had their backs to the crystals, watching their end of the room. She stooped low a hand on the pillar as she closed her eyes, focusing her mind. Suddenly she sprang into action. She came from the east end of the room, thus approaching from their sides. There were two entrances in the room, and each were looking at their respective entry points. By the time they noticed her coming from another location entirely it was too late.<br/><br/>A bolt of nether struck the one on her right in the back of the neck; he gave an odd sigh then collapsed to his feet. The other one whirled around with admirable speed, leveling his pistol wand, his larger than normal eyes widening even further with surprise. She never give him time to pull the trigger and release whatever spell was stored inside. In a blur of motion, blood splashed from a now open ugly wound around his throat, he fell back clutching at his neck in a vain attempt to stop his life blood from pouring forth. Shenestra retracted her whip back into her gauntlet. Then raised her right arm, the wrist crossbow there still steaming nether from recently firing, and aimed it at the crystals.<hr/>All around the settlement power died, as light winked out entirely from every home or house. The watch towers went dead, as their spotlights become lifeless, from beyond the walls on the outskirts of the encampment, the unnatural howl of construct beast could be heard. As they hungrily swarmed toward the walls and the settlement within....."

He sat on a fine wooden chair as he addressed the Clockwork Man who stood some distance in front of him, listening intently. Even though he was permitted due to his relatively friendly status with the people, the guards in the room still trained their weapons in the automaton’s direction; he was not insulted by their caution.<br/><br/>“The problem is with the project, we don’t understand exactly what we’re dealing with. This settlement is tiny, our prosperous brothers and sisters in the cities… they have forgotten the old ways and become dependent, it is sad that such happened, but it is the way of the Old Machine.”<br/><br/>“It is true that adopting the city dwellers methods would make your lives considerably easier though, no?” The Clockwork Man asked curiously, though his dry voice did little to convey his enthusiasm for knowledge. If truth be told, the Clockwork Man had yet to learn anything of the city save for what he had picked up from other scrap Mystans, having spent all his time thus-far on the planet in the great Scrap Plains.<br/><br/>“Of course, but the principle, I coul-“ the Elder halted mid-speech, as a sound like breaking earth invaded the building, followed by the high-pressure bolts from plasma rifles. “Blast.” The Mystan leader cursed, standing up immediately and drawing his hands high. From either side of him sleeping sentinels awoke, fast flying and deadly spectre drones from the most recent machine war. They sped off immediately, heading towards the Reactor building.<br/><br/>“This is not the first time our generators have failed, the Broken Ones pose no realistic threat when they charge our walls, but it is an irritating waste of energy and recourses to deal with them… that’s why the Warding Machine is so useful, solar powered like it is.” The Elder seemed relatively unperturbed by the situation at least in terms of the Broken Ones which were now reaching the walls and being systematically destroyed. Thankfully, the larger and more powerful Machines were also intelligent enough not to waste themselves against equally powerful foes. “However, the cause for the generator failing once again is worrying, last time it was simple Mystan error, but we fixed that particular bug…”<br/><br/>“Could it be sabotage?” The Clockwork Man enquired. He worried for the children he had saved, but realised almost every member of the camp were competent Technomages. Every household contained a defence bot which was more than capable of dealing with the average Broken One.<br/><br/>“Unlikely, but we’ll know for sure when my Spectres survey the reactor room. They’re entering now.” The Elder stared into the distance as if far away, looking through the ‘eyes’ of his machines.<br/><br/>“Damn. The Guards are dead.” He swore at length in Mystan, which the Clockwork Man was only just getting the hang of. Most of the time they spoke English… now he considered that it was strange, but worth thinking about later.<br/><br/>“Sabotage then, I’ll go look, it won’t help me any if someone destroys the camp before the project is completed.” The Clockwork Man turned on his heel, looking particularly out of place in Victorian attire as he strode into the relative darkness. Out there, it was useful to have gigantic lenses for eyes, because there was no telling what he could run into, and being able to see in near complete darkness was a major advantage.<br/><br/>He reached the reactor room after a few moments, and really wished he had the ability to use Mystan technology. It was irritating being surrounded by such powerful weapons, and not having the genetic code to fire the bloody things. Still, he had his pistol, and being made of Elmorium was also a fair advantage. Feeling confident, he walked purposely into the building and made his way towards the main reactor room, where the crystals which powered the Warding Shield could be found."

The Death Cultist had already taken cover behind the hexagonal shaped rooms two great half circle reactors positioned at the base of the large platform centered in the middle of the room. The lights dimmed then went dead, a few spots of red light gleamed down from the roof casting eerie red light. Most of the room was rather pitch-black; however, this was no hindrance to Shenestra, who even without her Skull-Visor would have been little hindered by the dark. Already the sound of activity outside was increasing as the Mystans soon realized that the shield ward was gone, and something was quite wrong indeed. Shenestra for her part ignored the sounds outside the building and focused on any hint of running footsteps coming toward the reactors direction. Meanwhile she remained crouched and hidden where she was. The muscles of her leg and arms tensed and ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice. No doubt the Mystans would seek to repair ward at some point, Shenestra knew he objective now was to simply stall until the signal came for their departure.<br/><br/>Shenestra decided quickly enough the best location to observe the north and south entry points for any new comer. It seemed most were occupied with the defenses, for none we forthcoming at the moment. Suddenly the distinct yet faint sound of something heavy moving down a corridor could be heard. Quieting the beat of her heart, a task made easy thanks to her intensive training and implants, she picked up the sound of a kind of mechanical whine. She soon deduced that the Mystans had employed one of their drones to investigate and repair the reactor. Still she had not expected to see the same automaton she had encountered outside the settlements borders. Now that she was closer, she could see he sported a strange alien style of dress, complete with jacket, shirt and trousers. Something that quickly pointed out that this was no mere machine. If the manner in which he had acted earlier was any hint, the cloths were a sure give away that it possessed some intellect beyond a mere drone or machine.<br/><br/>The large lens fitted into it's head cast a slight gleam from the weak red glow of the emergency lights above. It moved with purpose, not in the least bit sluggish, nor clumsy despite the bulkiness of it's frame. At it's waist Shenestra spotted a satchel of some kind, its contents yet unclear, on the opposite side it sported a pistol that was certainly not of Mystan make. Further quick inspection, using the zoom and Infrared imaging technology, revealed that the satchel contained four grenade shaped objects. There seemed to even be some kind of almost spider shaped device or tool hidden under the folds of it's cloak on it's back. While it was difficult to estimate the strength of it's so far visible armaments, it seemed readily well armed indeed. To say nothing of the over thickness of it's plates. Shenestra machine spirit did however detect several weak spots located primarily around the constructs joints and head.<br/><br/>Yet, even with IR, she could locate no primary location in which it's power source was located. She could only assume it was either in the head or chest compartment, perhaps even a backup set of optical sights on the chest should the head be lost. Such designs were not uncommon on battle drones and their like. She quickly switched through her other forms of visions allowed to her by the skull-visors, wishing to glean as much information from the construct before deciding a course of action. In all it's manner hinted further at the automatons alienness to this world, but there were some similarities between it and Mystan technology. Still she was off put in she could not yet discern what manner of metal covered it's form, nor it's overall strength and reliance. She could only be sure it was not iron.<br/><br/>Having gleaned enough, Shenestra decided against any direct confrontation, planning to wait to see what it would do first. It would seem likely it would attempt to repair the damage to the reactor which meant ascending the short stairs there and approaching the pedestal with its now three dead crystals, leaving it’s back to her. If so Shenestra could use the opportunity to strike while it was preoccupied. Shenestra knew for her part she was well concealed, not only by the dark, but also her optical-camouflage had already copied the background around her perfectly. Not to mention the dormant engine she sheltered behind. Shenestra could only guess that it possessed some means of seeing in the dark, the obvious conclusion to draw from it's lack of light source in which to see with, such as a torch or flashlight. Even so Shenestra had already all but silenced her own heartbeat and breathing, entering a minor state of Reverie, while her camouflage matched both the heat and appearance of the background around her as she remained unmoving with death-like stillness. Her body still tense and ready to spring at a moment’s notice all the same.<br/><br/>The recent death of the guards also gave Shenestra a distinct advantage along with the element of surprise. She did not draw on it yet, even though the automaton would most likely be blind to sense such manipulation. Shenestra decided to air on the side of caution, waiting for the most opportune moment to move."

Though he didn’t look particular active in his search, his lens eyes could see everything in the dimly lit interior, and he pushed outwards with his magic to analyse any Technology in close proximity. Hence, when the intruding glance of his foe’s scanning technology washed over him, he stopped it short with a realistic looking energy signature, without making it in anyway obvious he was aware of their presence. He followed this up with a very careful and cautious reply, learning the very basics to avoid any potential Technomancy detection his foe had access to, as unlikely as it was. It was difficult to pinpoint an exact position, but he placed them in the general vicinity of the Hexagonal reactors, which was why as he walked into the room he put her on the opposite side of the crystals by skirting around, in a mock display of basic surveillance. His Technomancy revealed optical camouflage of some form, as well as some magically-enhanced weaponry and some form of detection tech. Pretty much what he expected from a saboteur, but also the tools of a spy… or assassin. He continued to walk towards the Crystal, lifting his left hand to draw the fragments of what remained of the old crystal together, while his right remained relaxed at his side. It would be a lengthy process, because he was far from knowledgeable of the Mystan’s warding shield, but that wasn’t a massive issue. His progress had to be checked by his foe, and he was ready, once slain or ousted the Mystans would just come down and replace the crystals. Time was on his side."

Shenestra could only guess it was seeking out the infiltrator responsible for the power outage and the death of the two guards. However, why it did not search the room in a complete patrol pattern Shenestra could not guess. Once it reached the other side, it seemed to have extended a limb to the platform.<br/><br/><i>""Energy fluctuation detected zero point 11:00 degrees due north-west.""</i><br/><br/>Beeped the Akarid spirit slaved too her wrist Gauntlet. Speaking directly into her mind from the link they shared. It seemed the construct was either preparing something or recharging the crystals. Shenestra had not guessed it could do so from a distance without ascending the platform. That meant she would have to readjust her planned approach slightly. Nothing that should pose a problem in her mind.<br/><br/>The sound of explosions could just be faintly heard from outside, he keen ears picking up the distinct sound of autocannon fire. The second phase of the plan she guessed had been completed she could only assume. Things were about to get allot more difficult for the defenders above. Hopefully it would not endanger the entire settlement, as that would complicate the mission unnecessarily. All Shenestra had to do now was stall for time. Which meant dispatching this newcomer or forestalling the crystals repairs. Suddenly with a thought Shenestra then vanished as she entered the wraith realm, the world suddenly became shadows of pale grey and dark black shadowy ink.<br/><br/>The change always sent a slight chill through her body, but she quickly dismissed the momentary discomfort. Now within the wraith realm she could more easily approach her target despite the direction he now faced. Even if he had possessed thermal imaging or used some magical means of detection. They would be equally useless in detecting a being in a small pocket dimension. She moved then, circling around to the north entryway then passed it as she angled herself to the constructs left side. Always keeping a pillar or two and 15 feet between her and the metal man. If she reached his 6 O'clock unmolested, and if the clockworkman continued his repairs. She would then circle towards his back, two rods already in each hand, but yet not activated.<br/><br/>She moved with skilled silent steps, moving slowly and precisely, over (sometimes under) wires or cables, as she approached. If by the time she reached within striking range with no outward response from the construct she would take a combat stance just 8 feet behind him. Her feet set wide apart, bent slightly at the knees, her right arm posed across her chest, the rod at an angle pointing slightly toward the ground with her left arm hung across her lower stomach, ready to shoot up for an attack or block. She could not harm it while within the wraith realm, but she could ready herself to attack when she disengaged her cloak. She managed to take note of the fact from this point that he was using his left arm, no doubt leaving his right open to draw the pistol at his side. Shenestra planned on making sure he never got the chance.<br/><br/>She dismissed her cloaking-field, and the world suddenly jumped back to life, a slight feeling of vertigo followed as it always did. She lost precocious seconds recovering, but in the blink of an eye she moved then. Shooting forward raising from her slight crouch as she swung her right arm around, aiming for the constructs neck. The thinner joints there would prove easier to slice through then most of the rest of him. And indeed a dark violet light shaped like a scythe like blade sprung from the rod then, making it a kama like bladed weapon in the span of a second. Reflexes honed from decades of training and boosted by her suits enchantments allowed her to cover the 8 feet in just a second. Which might leave just under three seconds for the construct to respond before her, hopefully, surprise attack landed.<br/><br/>If of course he had stopped his repairs of the crystals, and taken some other action. Shenestra would have simply stopped her slow advance and taken cover behind a pillar ready to respond to any change in tactic."

Considering the nature of his opponent, he expected some further form of camouflage which even he was not able to detect. That meant they were making their move, most likely to strike at him, he hoped they took the bait.<br/><br/>His plan succeeded in part, when he became immediately aware of the technology he was growing familiar with a very short distance behind him. He span quickly round to his right, his feet sliding as he turned 180, to face the oncoming threat, but he had misjudged at what speed his opponent could move. Luckily for him, his reflexes and perception were way beyond an ordinary human, because death would have been likely if that were the case. As his opponent struck at his neck from a crouch, they had a significant distance to cover to reach him, providing his low hand the opportunity to bat away the foe who he had quickly judged was likely a woman. His palm should swat away her own hand from underneath, and provided she did not attempt some kind of twisting motion in mid-air, which seemed unlikely, her blade would only slash up and past the Clockwork Man’s face, cutting a significant groove across his right ‘cheek’. Assuming this were the case, her momentum would likely cause her to overextend just enough that as he turned fully, his left hand could swing round and give her a powerful shove underneath her right arm, hopefully knocking her back or at least unbalancing her to give the Clockwork Man time to manoeuvre."

Somehow he had become aware of her appearance, turning about to face her. Her eyes genetically improved saccade was quite sensitive to the slightest bit of motion, and caught the act as it began to unfold. Seeming to somehow slide it's feet to spin around, to turn about just as Shenestra entered comfortable striking range. His right hand then moved to intercept her own right arm. However he had not noticed her other arm was already posed to strike from under her other arm, ready too react almost exactly to such a maneuver. As he palm shoved her right arm of course, her other arm shot up in a blur of motion, its own blade crackling to life as it aimed for the outstretched hands wrist. It was unlikely he would be able to draw it back in time before the blade hit, severing the hand at least. It left her open to his shove from his other arm, Shenestra had no choice but to fall back from the force of the blow, which sent a sharp pain up her arm. Only the discipline granted to her from years of training allowed her to ignore the pain, though the mere shove might have dislocated her shoulder. The whine of turbines were suddenly heard just as Shenestra fell onto her back.<br/><br/>However the moment before she fall on her rump, a jet of flame burst forth to bath the clockwork mans feet in hot air from her sprint-pack, causing her to fly backward across the ground.

What had to be remembered was that the Clockwork Man was surprisingly strong, despite his relatively slight frame, so the force of his strike was decisively powerful and quick. His right hand wasn’t just floating around for a blade to go through it, but had been thrown wide and was already dropping down to draw his pistol by the time his foe had activated her blade and tried to strike. It probably didn’t help her that she had the palm strike to contend with. However, even as he made contact, catching her arm with the palm strike and dislocating her shoulder, her blade scored another groove into his arm, missing the wrist but still causing him some alarm, if struck in the right place he could be in considerable trouble. The pistol flew out of its holster and the Clockwork Man set his weight onto his right foot forward for a better firing stance. Unexpectedly, fire burst from her back as she fell and set his boots and lower trousers alight.<br/><br/>“Why is it always fire?” He murmured quietly to himself as he simultaneously fired his pistol three times, the first shot too low as he calculated her momentum correctly. The second and third flew true, one likely to hit her mid-flight, though it would only hit the far right of her left leg, just as she adjusted her stance, and the final shot aimed at her chest when she stopped. He cynically expected her to somehow see the pistol drawn and fired, despite the messiness of her dodge, and somehow avoid the pillars all around her in another spectacular escape.<br/><br/>His clothes continued to burn as he drew three more rounds from his bag with his left hand and deftly reloaded his pistol, all the while keeping a close eye on his opponent and judging her situation. With a flick of his thumb he set the Clockwork Pistol into its wind-up format, it whirred as it began to build up significant energy. The bottoms of his trouser legs had burned away by then, and his boots were in tatters, but the Elmorium beneath was in perfect condition, and the fire smouldered and went out."

As Shenestra flew backward from the force of her sprint pack, she registered the distinct sound of a weapon being fired, and something metallic striking the floor just ahead of her as she retreated. Proving her suspicions that he would turn too his pistol the moment he was given a chance. There was no time to bring her blades to bear, with her right arm as it was it would do little good. Thinking quick on her feet (despite not being on them presently) her left arm shot up and fired off her omni-whip. It struck and embedded itself in the rooms many techno pillar like structures.<br/><br/>The new anchor allowed her to radically change the course of her flight into a wide round turn to her left, adding to her momentum by she tucking in her legs and body. Her hyper senses allowed her to see the oncoming rounds as if they moved with shallow slothfulness, belying their killing potential, just as the second round shoot toward her. She had only shifted enough however to turn the possibly fatal wound into a close cut. It ripped through a portion of her armor there, slicing through the skin-suit to leave a bloody gash.<br/><br/>Thankfully the shots seemed far enough apart from each to allow her to pass around the pillar before the third came barreling toward her. Her omni-whip had already disengaged, and using her sprint-pack, adjusted her self into a spin that aligned her feet with another pillar she was already on a path toward. She kicked off of it and rolled, left shoulder first, into a crouch behind another such support beam. North east of the clockwork mans current position. He leg still stung from the close shave, but already the wound had closed over as the bleeding stopped. She began to assess the situation. With her arm as it was, she knew she would need to avoid close conflict until her mind settled fully into Reverie. Which would take some time still.<br/><br/>An idea then came to her, and she began then to gather the nether energy from around the room. This would be highly risky, but it might prove useful in ending this conflict quickly."

He had not expected her to use such similar equipment to himself, for he would have used his own grappling hook attached to his left wrist in the same situation. However, he only spared her a glance to see where she ended up, somewhat forward and to the right of him behind a pillar. With his pistol reloaded, he was ready to flush her out.<br/><br/>He strafed leftward and forward, and with his free left hand he picked two of his explosives from the satchel.<br/><br/><i>I have to end this quickly. He thought to himself, she isn’t communicating, the Mystans will suffer if I don’t deal with her.</i><br/><br/>With a deft throw, he launched one of his bombs towards her position, aiming to get it behind her cover forcing her out and towards him, where he had his pistol trained. He kept the second explosive in his left hand, and awaited the results expectantly. Within a few moments, the grenade would burst with 4000 degrees plasma fire in a roughly ten foot radius. If she didn’t move, she was in serious trouble, and to add to her woes his pistol had already alerted him to the fact that it had charged to its first stage, tripling the lethality of his first shot."

Her skull-visors allowed her to keep track of his movements even while behind cover. Taking what time she could, she took hold of her right arm, then with gnashed teeth roughly pulled her shoulder back into place with a snap. Her formidable mental discipline found in Reverie allowed her to fight off the pain. Suddenly her wrist gauntlet beeped a warning.<i>""Unidentified object detected.""</i><br/><br/>The construct had fished out one of the round sphere like objects from his satchel and had already begun throwing it. It sailed through the air in her direction, her wrist gauntlet already calculating its trajectory the time it would take to cover the distance. Reacting without hesitation Shenestra snapped her left arm up and behind her and fired off her omni-whip once more. It impaled a segment of pipe; she then pulled just as the whip retracted. It tore the pipe free and using her control over the tendril, whipped it around her cover on an intercept course with the sphere thrown at her. The moment her move was complete she was up and in a dash moving to her right, even as she smashed both ends of her pair of rods together where they systematically connected.<br/><br/>Just as she sprung from behind cover, the pipe sailing end over end would connect with the grenade, catching the device in one end causing it to bounce about within it. Its course would bring it back the way it came but wide to the right hand side of the clockman, unless of course it simply exploded from the contact just nine feet out from the construct. Giving the construct the choice of firing on her now while she broke cover, or focusing on his explosive device. In either case her turbines were flaring for a quick change in direction, as her gauntlet continued to take in nether from the dead guards. Her course would take her in a roundabout direction to the constructs left. Keeping just outside of 20 feet from him."

Using her technology to avoid his attacks had its downside however, as she would soon learn, as he had learned roughly how she detected and avoided his attack. This time, when the real attack came, she would have a much harder time.<br/><br/>Almost negligently, he raised his hand and detonated the grenade inside the pipe, long before it reached him. Due to the speed with which he himself had reacted, he also caught sight of his opponent darting rightward towards him and his left hand side. He turned to keep track of her, ensuring she remained directly in front as he decided on his next move. The pistol was still whirring away in his right hand, trained on her movements between pillars and other technological obstructions. However, the real threat remained in his left hand, now only holding the one explosive he was more than happy to show her their real potential. With a twitch, the grenade popped open along the middle, to reveal a circular blade ringing its outside. He watched her passage across the room, and judged her but twenty feet away from him, easily reached. With a more powerful and straighter throw than before, he launched his grenade like a discus directly at the spot she would be in no more than a second later. However, this time he had effected the grenade, making its trajectory far more difficult for her technology to detect using his Technomancy. When she relied on her other senses on their own, she was in for an unhealthy surprise, as he could manipulate the grenade’s trajectory in mid-air using his magic, ensuring it exploded within a few feet of her, unless she had something more powerful to protect herself with.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the clock struck two, as his pistol reached its second level of charging after a full ten seconds had elapsed. He watched intently, keenly aware that time was ticking away for the Mystan’s above. They could not survive against the swarms of Broken One’s forever, and more importantly, this foe may not be alone."

She continued to run full speed but the construct did not fire on her as she had expected. Instead seeming to train on her movements. Suddenly his grenade popped open changing in shape to that of a circular blade. Shenestra already didn't like the look of it, the construct in turn wasted little time in throw the device. Having reached the angle she needed on his once far left Shenestra responded with her own volley as she spun on her heels turning in his direction ending in a slight crouch. She swept her left gauntlet over her wrist-crossbow, arming it with the gathered nether thus far. Her auto-sensors and artificially boosted marksmanship allowing her to near instantly lock onto her target. The crossbow accelerated the stored nether into a bolt of pure crackling violet energy which now hurtled toward the construct.<br/><br/>The bolt was aligned with the strange grenades course, if it did not weave around the bolt of energy, the chaotic force of nether would reduce the device to dust and ash as the molecules broke down, unless it was avoided entirely. In either cause it would be hurtling toward the construct. The moment the bolt fired Shenestra activated her sprint-pack which turbines had been whining this entire time, launching herself north-eastward instantly. However the moment she passed behind a pillar, she would seem to competently vanish once more. Activating with a simple thought her wraith gate an instant after changing direction with another burst from her sprint-pack while out of sight.<br/><br/>Such a maneuver was aimed solely at catching the construct off guard, thus allowing Shenestra to reposition herself in a more favorable condition. Having already seen the destruction from the first grenade she had a far better idea on the safe distance of the weapon making sure to keep well out of way from its kill-zone. Should the bolt hit the construct, the force was easily enough to melt away metal to ash, as well as knocking him off his feet with the force of a heavy artillery shell."

Well, that was foolish.</i>The Clockwork Man thought, as he judged his opponent’s target even before she fired the nether bolt. Far off to his left, barely even likely to hit him, as a result of trying to hit the grenade he had thrown with his left hand towards her at the same time. With lightning reflexes, he pivoted on his right foot, bringing the left of his body away from the bolts trajectory with relative ease, while simultaneously he yanked the grenade low with Technomagic, allowing it to skirt underneath her attack. The bolt of nether energy sheared straight through the pillar it hit, and dissipated against the far wall.<br/><br/>Noting she was about to move, he decided to sacrifice maximum damage on his explosive for a quicker explosion, detonating the grenade six feet from her, helped along by the fact that she decided to speed towards the explosion with her sprint-pack. He judged the pillar she was –trying- to reach was at least thirteen feet from her, so she had no chance to reach its safety. The small metallic object erupted with plasma fire that could consume flesh instantaneously, and melt through most metals. Its full effects had been contained in the pipe before, which had taken the force of the explosion and suffocated the plasma. This time, all 4000 degrees of the terrible substance was launched all around, melting through the ground and pillars, and sure to end his foe’s life unless she had something other than technology and cheap tricks to save herself.<br/><br/>Fortunately for the Clockwork Man, he was just out of range of his own attack, and his pistol had just struck three, it was at maximum power, almost time to strike."

It melted through the half circle structure, sending explosive burst of energy out and was growing now unstable. Meanwhile the constructs thrown weapon now consumed the cultists full attention, as it exploded outward in a blinding flash of flesh consuming light. There was no time to avoid the area of effect or increase her speed with a burst from her sprint-pack. The thought speed programing of her slaved machine sprite however likely saved her hide. Just as the plasma burst reached her, Shenestra world was suddenly cast in the all to familiar grey and black shadowy realm of the wraith realm. As if someone had thrown a switch, the terrible heat of the explosion was replaced instead by a chill of the shadow plane.<br/><br/>Shenestra might have been shielded from the weapons heat, but the raw kinetic force was not dampened at all, and unlike most forms of matter, heat, or radiation, was still able to translate into the none-physical realm. Hence the force still sent the death cultist flying backward across half the length of the room before striking a pillar hard enough to fracture her skull and knock the air out of her chest. White spots danced across her vision as he sense went swimming in confusion for a moment. Even with her pain dulled by Reverie state, she was still shaken from the impact.<br/><br/>Shenestra senses were still dulled from the explosion ears still ringing from the blow as she tried to puzzle where she was now position wise to the construct. At that moment she did not see him, but her thermal scopes and pheremonic scans placed him somewhere over 30 feet north west of her current position. She noted she did not feel the normal vertigo or ill effects she did normally after entering the wraith realm, and decided it was due to the pain of the explosion and recent injuries. She was also dimly aware of the sound of sparks and rumbling coming from the reactor she had struck earlier. The construct had not thought to what she might have actually been aiming at, which was what she had hoped for. Her plan seemed to have worked then, which was all that mattered in the end. Which was well and good, as she doubted she could continue this for much longer.<br/><br/>She struggled to her feet while noting with satisfaction that the reactor was still spewing sparks and giving a steadily growing whine. Even so she needed to move quickly, least he continue throwing grenades in the very room he sought to repair. A beep sounded within her ear and she sighed. It seemed this little game would be coming to and end, which suited Shenestra fine, she had finished what she had come here for. Ducking through the pillars she made her way to the north exit, it's door still open from when the construct had entered earlier. She grimaced as she went, noting that her side had suffered enough damage to hint at a broken rib or two.<br/><br/>With anything short of another series of explosions, Shenestra would duck out of the room while still cloaked inside the wraith realm. Leaving the construct to repair the damaged circuity and crystals along with it, an even more time consuming process thanks to the damage to one of the reactors. Not that it mattered much now, the Death Cultist had what they had come for."

That, and the crystal itself, meant that he had a difficult job ahead of him. He raised one hand to each of the damaged mechanisms, seeking his spirit into them to see what could be repaired quickly and easily. The damage to the reactor had to be contained first, lest the entire building be destroyed, so he shut down some of the reactors essential systems and rewired the others, effectively shutting down the damaged region. It was working at barely half capacity, but it would be enough for now.<br/><br/>With his full concentration on the crystal, it came together quickly, in a matter of five minutes at most the entire complex was re-lit and up and running, to a point. The dispersion shield around the Mystan settlement reactivated, driving any remaining Broken Ones from the area or shutting them down outright. It hardly reached half the diameter it had before, but until some experts could repair the reactor that was all the Clockwork Man could manage. His hands slumped to his side in mock exertion, and he looked down at the ground for a long while.<br/><br/>“I hope they don’t charge me for the damage.” He said aloud to himself, before walking up towards the sounds of excitement and confusion. Half-hoping to find the foe he had battled with beneath the settlement, but knowing in his heart it was unlikely, he stepped out into the street.<br/><br/>“Metal-man!” A small, girlish voice grabbed his attention almost immediately. In the streets, there was debris and rubble, with one half of a broken one being lifted off an injured Mystan. The settlement had fared well, better than he dared hope, though the casualties were still higher than acceptable.<br/><br/>“What is it?” He asked the Mystan girl, who of course he had been escorting earlier.<br/><br/>“Elder is missing, all the big people are saying it! They took him! Ghost people took him to the skies!”<br/><br/>“What! Slow down child, explain what happened.”<br/><br/>It took the rest of the night to clear the situation with the Clockwork Man and repair the settlement to some resemblance of its former self. The night had left many dead, and a few missing, the chief among them the Elder of the village. A powerful Technomancer, and a man instrumental in the Clockwork Man’s plans, George was angrier than he had ever been. He sat across from a shard of glass, painstakingly repairing the damage to his body while also working on the mechanical spider and adding the finishing touches to a new grenade. He had work to do."

Still residing within her pocket dimension; a hyperspace between now and then, the Mystan’s were blissfully ignorant of her existence. She recognized that most of the defenders had assembled on the west side. The explosion from earlier the work of demolitions tasked in creating a hole in the wall while the assault team entered at a different point. By now they had no doubt succeeded in their task, otherwise Shenestra would have heard otherwise. Rescaling the walls and exiting the town proper was uneventful, as most of the violent constructs had gathered at the bottle neck. Reverie allowed her to push past her injures until she reached the Nemesis drop ship. Once she reached the site, she was slightly surprised that she had arrived first.<br/><br/>She had not long to wait for the rest however. Soon several armored and armed figures reappeared seemingly from nowhere gathering at the bash of drop-ship's ramp. The unit leader stopping before Shenestra as the others quickly entered the ship. A smaller and limp figure with a bang drawn over his head between two cultists.<br/><br/>""I trust you met no complication?"" She voiced with a dreary tone.<br/><br/>""None."" Came the simple reply. He tilted his head. ""And you?""<br/><br/>""Nothing I could not handle.""<br/><br/>Then turning and ascending the ramp without further elaboration. Once the last of them had vanished within the Nemesis, the dark fey leader turned back observing his immediate surroundings. ""If you say so."" He muttered to no one in particular, before following his fellows. With their prize now in toe, Rarenrar Tlabbar had reason to feel somewhat elated. The first step in a long journey to end a tyranny of an empire and save their kind and countless others had only just begun.<br/><br/>The ship rose steadily into the air with a dull thrumming hum that sent scraps of metal and debris flying. Finally it rose higher and faster before shooting skyward into the midnight mantle above."

He was a nervous, tall individual, who walked with a bird-like gait and rubbed his hands together when talking. He was also no short of a genius, something which the Clockwork Man had quickly discovered. The deal between him and the Mystans of the settlement was fairly simplistic, they would provide him with the computerised technology he required, he would provide them with a small sample of Elmorium. It was a good deal, for both sides.<br/><br/>“Ehm, Mr Clockwork.” The Mystan, known as Eldri, said as he entered the room.<br/><br/>“Yes Eldri?” George asked, turning from his mirror just in time for the Mystan to observe the metal of his face apparently closing the damaged rending of its own accord. It was a disconcerting sight, even for the Mystan.<br/><br/>“With the Elder gone… well, no one here had the skill to finish what you wanted from us, the Complex Matrix, I’m sorry.”<br/><br/>“I see.” The Clockwork Man said shortly, looking down at the shining Clockwork Spider in the corner of the room. Oddly, the strange creature was his oldest friend, it had been with him through thick and thin, now he was discovering it could never be given the sentience he desired.<br/><br/>“However, we’ve been able to finish the V.I programming, and it should be more than functional from a practical sense. I couldn’t say for certain if it’s going to work on this –ship- you speak of, but it’s probably the most advanced thing to come from Mystique in one hundred years, even before the wars.”<br/><br/>“That… will have to do.” The Clockwork Man said, resting one hand lightly on the spider. “How long will it take?”<br/><br/>“We can implement it in a few hours, if you’d just allow me to-“ The Clockwork Man stood and walked over to his second desk, where he was working on more explosives. He still had ample supplies of all his other equipment, so that was no worry, but he could finish another two plasma grenades in the time it took the Mystan to implement the A.I feature to his spider. The Mystan took the hint and sat at his original seat, taking a strange squared off piece of tech from his belt and preparing to work it into the advanced circuitry of the spider. The sound of drills and lasers echoed from the small workshop for the next two and a half hours…<br/><br/>It was early morning when the Clockwork Man left the settlement, hopefully not for good, with all his equipment returned to him. The new and improved Clockwork Spider rested on his back, dreaming metal dreams. He envied it; there was no resting for him, not anymore. He strode across the wastes like a man possessed, every so often staring out into the dim sky as if to find the ones he sought. He needed the Elder, he was inherent in his plans, if he was ever to get what he wanted he needed the fully functioning Complex Matrix, but for now what he had would suffice. For the first step of his plan at the very least, and it would be more than enough for him to deal with the interlopers, for he had accurately summarised a faction had made off with the Elder now. The Mystan’s Broken defences had been damaged, but they still had surveillance, they could track every foe who entered their homes. They watched them… saw them off into the night sky.<br/><br/>It took him the better part of the day, even at the running speed he could perpetually maintain, to reach the crash site. The strange alien craft he had discovered immediately on reaching Mystique, the place where he had received the gift of Elmorium. It was here… with the new Spider, that he could reach out into the stars, and re-capture the hope plucked from his fingers."

From where he stood on the roof of the first international bank, Arthur Greystoke, or as he was more commonly known in this particular outfit ""The Watchman"" (who the hell comes up with names like that?), could see that several pieces of the city below had gone missing. Not destroyed or vaporized or anything like that, but just gone. There one second, big round hole the next. And right in the center of it all, stood a boy who had to be no older than fifteen. A boy whose outstretched hands seemed to herald the impending nothingnessization of another fifty foot swath of city. Cops and their SWAT teams disappeared by the dozens, and the bullets they shot at the kid did the same by the hundreds. Half the time he wasn't even looking when the bullets disappeared. Which, Arty figured, meant that shooting the kid from up on the roof was out. ""Yeah. No good at all.""<br/><br/>At least he had his armor. Though it was more of a second skin really. Thanks to the synthetic muscle fibers, it moved flawlessly along with him, contracting and expanding to boost his own natural strength to superhuman levels, and that was what he relied on at the current moment as he leaned forward off the roof. He fell with the grace of an aerialist as his body pivoted on his toes, which barely still touched the corner of the roof. As soon as he hit horizontal, his legs contracted like coiled springs and sprung open an instant later, driving him through the air toward a spot of ground just behind the kid with the nothingness-generating hands. He landed hands first and tucked into a roll, both the armor and his nearly unbreakable bones absorbing the tremendous impact with no harm done as his right hand swept a sword free of its sheath. The blade came up, then down and back as it aimed to bisect the teen from shoulder to hip, but it never got the chance. Apparently, there was some danger sense involved, because the next thing Arty knew, he was being swallowed up by one of those bubbles of nothingness, and the kid hadn't even had the chance to twitch a muscle.<br/><br/>Three cheers for involuntary defenses.<hr/>Astoundingly enough, becoming nothing actually wasn't as final as it sounds. Instead of waking up to the great beyond or in the middle of a raging inferno or just not at all, Arty found himself skidding to a stop in front of what appeared to be at first glance some kind of wreckage. A second glance as the dust settled revealed no new revelations, and Arty was forced to conclude that it was indeed some kind of wreckage. The question now, was wreckage of what? And why the hell wasn't he dead? And where the hell is he, now that he's not dead? Turning slowly in a circle revealed only a diverse array of flora that he'd never seen before, and quite a lot of wasteland. ""Huh..."" He slid the sword back into the sheath on his back, and climbed up to a higher vantage point on the wreckage to see if he could see what a sailor would see. He couldn't. No oceans in sight."

Up close, it was made of a dark metal with grooves, and seemed suspiciously undamaged by what must have been a catastrophic collision with the ground. In actuality, the ship was made of the exact same alloy that the automaton was made from, the mysterious semi-sentient metal he had dubbed ‘Elmorium’.<br/><br/>It was roughly 100 feet in diameter, not large by any means, and it had one small door-sized opening at its back for passengers. The spider was currently inside; rewiring complex technology the Clockwork Man himself had no familiarity with, though he probed it with his own magic to begin to correct that ignorance. It was late afternoon, by his reckoning, so he had no particular reason to be alert, but old habits die hard. That was why, with a sound like a significant amount of air being suddenly displaced, the Clockwork Man immediately caught on to the interlopers arrival.<br/><br/>Sat on the sloping wing, his head slowly raised upwards with little to no alarm, and a few moments later the new arrival crested the top of his ship, which bulged significantly and then ran down to the half-buried wing the Clockwork Man himself sat upon. He had been concealed up until that point by the significant obstruction of the ship, but with his new vantage point there was no way for the automaton to remain concealed.<br/><br/>“Ah, a Human.” The Clockwork Man observed in his grating, dry, mechanical voice. He continued to look up at the human, still remaining seated on the wing, bending his head back to observe him.<br/><br/>“Welcome to Mystique.” Was all the Clockwork Man said, as he returned to staring off in the distance, leaving the man standing above and behind him on top of his space ship."

His own voice came out somewhat mechanized through his mask's filters, but the other man already somehow knew he was human, so that wouldn't be fooling anybody. He held his hand out in the typical human gesture of greeting, that being the ""handshake"", then lowered it again a few moments later regardless of whether the robot took it or not. Or at least Arty assumed he was a robot. His neural signature was off the charts for a human, so unless he was like Arty himself, he had to be some kind of robot. Same with the one below. Lots of electrical signals traveling to and fro.<br/><br/>The fact that they were also sitting on what appeared to be some kind of ship hadn't escaped the notice of the super-powered human, and solid deductive reasoning skills quickly made it apparent that this robot man was probably his best bet for getting out of this place. It wasn't as reassuring a thought as it probably should have been though, since he had no idea where he'd end up even if he did get out of here. Knowing his luck, probably some place worse."

He didn’t even turn, though he was fairly confident he could draw the pistol with his right hand if necessary, and the human had decided to sit on his left. As an added precaution, he continued his magical analysis of his potential enemy’s equipment with his Technomancy, though he didn’t probe too far, there was no reason to seem hostile.<br/><br/>“Greystoke?” The Clockwork Man asked half quizzically, though with many of his verbalised questions it was mostly a question for himself. The Automaton turned his head when the human moved and seized the offered hand, the action bringing up a host of memories he thought were long dead. His grip was firm, but he shook quickly and returned his hand to rest upon the plane wing.<br/><br/>“Mr.Clockwork.” He told him in return for the offered information, though he did not so quickly offer an answer to the man’s question. Turning back to regard the wasteland, and the setting sun, he allowed a few moments to pass by in silence. The slight breeze tugged at the corners of his Victorian age jacket, and whipped the bottoms of his new black trousers. Underneath only cool metal remained, unperturbed by the elements around it. The Clockwork Man was dead to the outside world, and to the sensations he once loved.<br/><br/>Finally, he decided to lay down the very basics, deciding it was the least he could do for someone in need, it wouldn’t do him any harm after all.<br/><br/>“This world is connected to a focal point known as the Nexus. Somewhere, the indigenous people may know where, is a one-way portal off this planet.” He spoke confidently, though distractedly, his attention more focused on the ship and the spider below."

He looked out across the wasteland as he waited for a reply, and an endless expanse of desolation was all that greeted his eyes. No sign of any natives. He also didn't have the satellites he did back home, which meant no uplink, no map, no GPS, and no way of finding the locals. It was right about now that Arty was beginning to regret not learning more about geography and navigation. Even if he was pointed in the right direction, it would probably take him days to find the nearest town. Superpowered brain? Check. Genius IQ? Check. Designer of technology years ahead of its time? Check. Navigator? If only. And he didn't particularly fancy the idea of having to take an on the spot crash course. ""So what's your little buddy down inside up to?"" He turned his head to the right and watched Mr. Clockwork contemplate whatever it was he was contemplating. ""My bet would be fixing this ship we're sitting on. Any chance a guy could catch a ride? I'd prefer the certainty of having a ship to the maybe of finding a portal that goes to a random somewhere else. You can understand that, right?"""

George Elmore, the scientist who had become the metallic man known as the Clockwork Man today, still retained all of his old smarts, albeit in a more abstract form than before. Even without a brain to case it his formidable mind could be brought to bear on situations such as these.<br/><br/>Another few precious moments passed between them, regardless of if the human deemed to reply to the potential slight of his comment, or if he would acknowledge the fair statement made by the Clockwork Man, the automaton would continue.<br/><br/>“I admit, I’m going to use this ship to leave the planet, but I have something to do out there.” He nodded rather generally towards the sky. “It will be dangerous, and I don’t have time to drop off passengers.”<br/><br/>He dropped his head back to the hard structure behind him with a dull clank, and stared up at the clouds.<br/><br/>“You might be better off taking your chances with the portal.” He said finally, allowing more wistful silence to prevail on what could be a record breaking drawn out and chilled conversation."

How long until we get going?"" His city could wait. This fellow next to him was pretty much promising epic adventure, and the metas back home were getting kind of boring anyway. Not that he was an adrenaline junky or anything. It was kinda hard to be one of those when you had absolute control over your nervous system and autonomic functions. It was curiosity, more than anything else, that drove Arty to accept the other man's offer, or rather to project an offer into that thinly veiled warning not to come with.

About a month and half ago Jessibelle stumbled upon a writhing swirling mass that had visuals of another realm on the other side. Her knowledge of mysticism beyond that of psychic abilities was rather limited, magic was not common on the world where she and LeeRoy originate. In fact, magic was considered impossible. So the portal itself was rather a risk, especially considering that it was later revealed to be one way. Jessibelle's head scientists analyzed it, several volunteers entered and found that they could not come back through. The next batch was given transmitters to attempt to locate the planet in space.<br/><br/>The results were rather inconclusive, finding that the planet wasn't even in our galactic supercluster. The scientists insisted upon further research but with the news that it wasn't in our supercluser Jessibelle didn't need to know anymore. The empress informed her people that this was no doorway in our universe, during this time she had been researching everything about theoretical mysticism. It would take a being of incredible power to create a portal within the universe to lead to another point in the same universe. This was the creation of some being on parallel with the concept of a god. Something Jessibelle was rather opposed to.<br/><br/>Not gods but religion.<br/><br/>The idea that someone had more dominion than her was disgruntling to say the least. Though she allowed her community's scientists to research into the portal Jessibelle was certain that it was a doorway to another dimension. The reason it had never been located by the numerous billion humans was it's depth, it was buried well below the surface. The portal had been unearthed in an expansion to accommodate for more populace. It was mere happenstance that would bring Jessibelle to the Nexus.<br/><br/>At two weeks ago Jessibelle sent a countrywide message to all of her people. On their televisions and computers her fair face showed to everyone, with a smile that could give you diabetes she spoke to them. ""My dear people, I know the great doorway hass been on your mind for quite ssome time. Oh how it hass plagued my own mind. I've seen it as a way to make my people prossperouss, but on the other hand I'm fearful of what could happen to my people without me here."" She paused for effect, wiping a feigned tear from her cheek and laying her hand down on her thorax. Which was currently positioned to look somewhat like the lap of a someone sitting on their own feet. ""I've deccided that for the good of my people that I sshall go through the doorway with my leading sscientisstss-"" Jessibelle paused for a moment, forcing a look of slight embarassment on her face. ""Pleasse pardon my lissp, it's so embarasssing."" This was, of course, not genuine embarassment. Yes, the lisp is real. No, she cannot do anything about it, but she uses it as emphasis to make everything more important. The letter S was her bane, however, she never liked saying her own name. ""Ahem. I have deccided to enter the doorway with my sscientissstss and guard to find prossperity for my people.""<br/><br/>The hand of the empress raised and was placed it above her bosum. ""With a heavy heart I assk my people a quesstion that I never wisshed to assk of you. I thought for a time that I could not leave my people unattended, undefended, unhappy. But my sson hass agreed to sstay behind and overssee you, Renard iss a bit rough around the edgess but I know he will be a good leader. He iss ssmart and sstrong, and I hope you resspect him in my sstead."" Jessibelle's face changed to a deep serious look at the people who are watching. ""Now, I assk ssomething more of you. I cannot go alone you ssee. Even my highest ranked guards aren't enough, I am only one woman, and though I trusst my guardss I am a prime target for being asssailed. Sso I ssend out a call for my people to follow me through the door, I know thiss iss a hard deccisssion. To leave your familiess and friendss for ssomeone you've never even met. But I assk you to follow me to help them in the future, when we return we sshall be rich and anyone who followss me will recceive high praisse. Every one of you will be appropriately rewarded for what you will do.""<br/><br/>Jessibelle smiled and leaned closer to the camera. ""Thiss concludess the announccement to you my dear people. I do not expect you to give up your livess for me, and I will sstill go if you do not come with me. I ssend thiss messsage in the hopes of touching your kindnesss and bringing you on a path to sssee more than just our universse, but more universsess than we can imagine."" With that she cut off the com and smiled behind the now shut down camera. ""Three, two-"" And that's when the phones started ringing, Jessibelle's numerous consorts began answering, and within a few days Jessibelle's doorstep was flooded with over ten thousand men and women who had chosen to follow her through the doorway. Another few days and they had been sorted out, anyone who had military training or any important training whatsoever was kept and everyone else was sent home. And now we're one week away from the present.<br/><br/>At the break of dawn Jessibelle and her now dwindled following of only 1,200 men and women, including her own guard of course, she marched into the new world of Mystique. They tested the doorway again, confirming that it was in fact a one way trip. Unfortunate, they would need to start work on a ship after setting up a perimeter. Only 600 of the followers were Ahs Chini, the rest were humans who follow Jessibelle's doctrine, heavily armored human warriors. The six hundred arachnid folk started work on construction of a fort.<br/><br/>A fort? Why a fort?<br/><br/>Well, you see. Jessibelle's demeanor to her people is a kindly one, but they do understand that any circumstance when Jessibelle wishes to leave the safety of her own kingdom is to be considered dangerous. As such, her people know that they must build fortifications to defend their leader. And they're incredibly efficient, using entire trees and large stones as the skeleton they weave together walls and rooms from thick white spider silk. These forts take less than a day to complete when there's more than 100 workers, and with 600 this was built in roughly four hours.<br/><br/>As time has since passed we reach the current day, the backstory is over and we reach today.<br/><br/>Jessibelle has learned the multiple languages of the people of Mystique, easily piecing it together in her head in her spare time. And though this planet is rich in resources and technology something was immediately evident. Her psychokinetic abilities no longer function, the planet itself is rejecting her ability to psychically move objects. Unfortunate but Jessibelle has had to cope with this before, I mean, she wasn't always psychokinetic. Now, on this world she had a thousand or so followers. Of these thousand or so people she had with her five guards, only five.<br/><br/>Why only five?<br/><br/>Jessibelle only trusts these four men and one woman.<br/><br/>At the lead of her guard was Mortimer. Mortimer was a human warrior with biological augments to improve his overall combat effectiveness, so devoted to Jessibelle he forsook his own humanity and appearance to become even closer to her. His obsession with Jessibelle may seem creepy but it has proven useful to her in the past, he has personally saved her life twice over during assassination attempts. He is physically, mentally, and skillfully equal to Jessibelle in almost every way. He lacks psychokinetic abilities, however he surpasses this with his increased mobility and weapons mastery. (As a General his Character sheet will be posted when necessary.)<br/><br/>Four elite guards serve under Mortimer, all four of them are Ahs Chini but every one of them is substantially smaller than Jessibelle. These four are; Dutch, Magdalene, Arnold, and Boris. As Ahs Chini they are superior to humans in every way, however, what makes them more than just Zero Tiers? Their equipment, they all wear full riot fatigues over their humanoid portions. And they are equipped with several weapons, ranging from pistols to tear gas grenades. They are incredibly loyal shock troopers who only obey orders from two people. Jessibelle and Mortimer. (These characters are so stock that they don't need character sheets.)<br/><br/>Finally we get to the story.<br/><br/>The empress was out on a stroll to gain a bit of diplomatic favor among the people of Mystique, going from door to door with her guards by her side to preach her doctrine. All the while speaking of key locations around the world, political parties and even monuments. It turns out that this world isn't all that different from Earth, despite the strange magitechnology so prevalent in it. There was clear dissent in some parts of the world, even full civil war in some of the less developed countries. Such an odd place, Jessibelle was happy that she found such an intriguing world. Her knowledge of magic and the utilization of it through technological means was steadily growing every day. Speaking to the people who's jobs were evidently engineers was a treat. They spoke to her of magitech as it was so commonplace, they knew things that she could only think of in dreams.<br/><br/>What a wonderful place.<br/><br/>Shame that Jessibelle's influence had a bad habit of getting people mysteriously killed."

The Broken Ones would be reactivating soon, plaguing the Scrap-fields to scourge it clean of life.<br/><br/>“You look capable enough.” He said finally, realising that his growing need for the companionship of something other than his own creation was outweighing his otherwise logical mind. Though he felt no real emotion anymore, the Clockwork Man was still keenly aware that he could go mad, if he hadn’t already, and that had to be avoided at all costs if he ever wanted to achieve his ultimate goals. It was strange that the human, wearing equipment which the Clockwork Man had already judged was incredibly formidable and advanced technologically, would still be willing to sign up for a task he had no knowledge of. It suggested a confidence, which could be justified, or could be dangerous. What the Clockwork Man had also observed however was that there was nothing to suggest the human had anywhere near the capabilities of flying the ship he was sat beneath, neither the technology nor the knowledge. With time perhaps, it would be possible, but by then he could very well be dead. The Clockwork Man was also reliant on the human knowing this, for his own protection.<br/><br/>“I will be leaving when the ship’s navigational and operative systems are re-engaged. More specifically, I expect the ship to be ready in two hours at most.”<br/><br/>The Clockwork Man watched the sun tracing a graceful arc towards the horizon, knowing that time was running out.<br/><br/>“Unfortunately, we do not have that long. When night falls, mechanical constructs will assault this position. If you wish to travel with me, you’ll have to earn it I’m afraid.” The Clockwork Man looked as apologetic as an expressionless robot can, as he returned to his silent contemplation."

Killing things, proving himself their better, seemed to be about as close as he could get to feeling true happiness, the kind that you see in movies and read about in books. That state of perfect harmony with yourself regardless of your circumstances. Then again, he'd never been the type to reject who or what he was. He just was, and that was all he could be. So maybe he'd been happy all along and just never realized it... Regardless, he liked fighting stuff, and he was about to get the opportunity to do just that.<br/><br/>""I don't know, robots aren't really my thing. No offense. I'm more of a people person when it comes to killing. They get all emotionally hyper-active."" He didn't try and explain why that part appealed to him though. ""Robots? Not so much.

Slowly, the small self-replicating nano-mites in the very metal that coated the exterior of the transport began to reactivate, spreading the metal thin and even parasitically absorbing some pieces of scrap close to the hull. Almost unnoticeably, the many breaches in the craft’s exterior began to repair themselves, not unlike how the Clockwork Man’s own ‘wounds’ had healed.<br/><br/>As darkness descended once more on the scrap plains, grinding metal announced that something else was awakening when sensible souls were preparing themselves for sleep. The Broken Ones, the many damaged machines from the Great Machine War, began their nightly battles, attempting to destroy all ‘foreign’ forces. The Clockwork Man for once decided to think about that situation.<br/><br/>To his mind, it was likely that the area he was currently in had been a great battle-field, hit with powerful long-range weaponry, the machines here had broken free of their restraints and fought to the bitter end. Now, the surviving side could recognise only the other broken as friend, and foe was anything else unlucky enough to be walking the wastes at night. It was a chilling thought, or at least it would be if George was still human.<br/><br/>With a resigned inward sigh the Clockwork Man fell forward onto his feet, pushing himself up as he drew his pistol with his right hand incredibly quickly. He flicked open the barrel, which resembled a sawed off shotgun in design, ensured he was fully loaded and then looked around intently.<br/><br/>“We have company.” Was all he said, as with his powerful lens eyes he could see out into the relatively complete darkness. He assumed his foe could do the same, but if he could not there was always the dim light emanating from the inside of the space-craft.<br/><br/>Three shots rang out, and three of the land based wolf like scouts fell crippled to the Scrap-field, a fitting resting place for their ilk. Three more bullets were loaded into the pistol almost immediately afterwards, even as the Clockwork Man counted down in his head.<br/><br/>Three more shots rang out in the darkness, and the light of the muzzle flash revealed a circle of broken and haunted machines closing in."

Arty dropped off the ship alongside Mr. Clockwork, noting with some amount of respect the speed of his draw. The urge to show the other man up might have prompted someone else to try and imitate the action at a greater speed, but Arty was not someone else. He felt no such impulse to prove he was better, as he already knew it was a simple fact. He had seen this man move at a speed that would have blurred in the eyes of normal men, yet to his eyes every detail of the motion was clear as crystal. Well... not quite clear as crystal, owing to the deepening darkness, but close enough. Regardless, he casually drew his pair of swords and awaited the arrival of the eerie robot hordes. No point in wasting bullets when you have a very limited supply and swords will do just as well.<br/><br/>A static charge began to permeate the air as he readied himself for the coming onslaught, his swords growing far sharper and more durable than they had any right to, and when the first robot leapt for him, he simply rushed beneath it and cleaved it in two, his blade shearing through the metal as easily as it would through paper. The second, third, and fourth attacks shared predictably similar results, and it wasn't long before a rythm developed. It was almost a dance as Arty moved throughout the field of scrap, evading and attacking and planning all at once, his mind moving faster than his body was able, and his body moving faster than most eyes could track. This was truly his element, right smack dab in the middle of the chaos where the world all but stood still around him as he danced through the sea of enemies that was rapidly being turned to scrap.<br/><br/>It wasn't his efforts alone that stemmed the tide of robot brutality, however, and whenever his ally came into view he couldn't help but admire the brutal efficiency of his work. They were artists, these two, and the sea of metal was their canvas. Or something like that. Maybe Arty just had an unnatural liking for killing stuff. Except... could robots even die? Were they even alive in the first place? What about an afterlife? Is there a robot heaven that they go to when it's all over? If so, was there a population limit? If there was, it had to be getting pretty close to overcrowded by now, such was the effectiveness of Arty and his ally. Those questions and many others would remain unanswered, however, as Arty kept up his relentless application of the swish-swish-stab technique on the hordes of broken robot soldiers. It was, after all, a very effective technique against opponents with little understanding of combat."

Two of the blasts skittered past the Clockwork Man, but the last cleaved a hole straight through his lower torso even as finished off another robot with one precise bullet.<br/><br/>He dropped back from the blow, clockwork whirring and breaking out from the ‘wound’ as the metal struggled to reform over the serious rupture. His head spun around, and exactly what he had most feared greeted him, the most significant factor which could have impeded his progress.<br/><br/>So far, he and his nimble sword wielding ally, who’s skills had impressed even the Clockwork Man thus far, had only been facing the predominantly melee and ineffective scout forces of the Broken Ones. The quickest to arrive on scene, it made sense they would have to face them first.<br/><br/>However, there were slower moving hovering weapons platforms which posed even a threat to him. He now had the displeasure of facing one down; it had already proved it could cut through his armour with its super-heated armaments. He knew he was running low on ammo, just twelve or so shots left, not enough to bring down such a behemoth. There was something else he could do though, and it might just have given them the advantage they needed to survive the last quarter of an hour or so required to at least get the ship moving.<br/><br/>George sprinted forward, holstering his pistol even as lazer fire erupted around him. One shot narrowly grazed his arm, shearing away metal like it were paper.<br/><br/><i>I won’t die here.</i><br/><br/>He leapt, diving off a corrugated sheet of metal high into the air, another blast from the lazer weaponry ripping through his upper body before both hands clamped down on the machines sensor matrix. He slammed into it with enough force to even cause the hovering behemoth to slide backwards a few paces, and with a single minded ferocity he began to rip and tear at its outer casing, even as powerful Technomagic permeated his body and burst from his hands, causing the metallic creature to shudder as if suffering some great pain.<br/><br/>When he bounced off the robot a few moments later it immediately began firing at every Broken One in the vicinity, tearing their fragile bodies to shrapnel with frightening ease. The Clockwork Man rubbed his hands together, pleased with himself.<br/><br/>“That should keep them busy for a while.” He said loudly enough that his new ally could potentially hear him over the chaos around them, though in truth he wasn’t particularly bothered if he did or not. He began to walk casually over to the ship again, concentrating his full efforts on forcing the nanobots to repair the damage done to his body."

It seems Arty's new ally is not only a good fighter, but a technopath as well. It made him grateful that his armor ran entirely on signals from his own nervous system. You know, just in case. The moment spent observing had cost him, however, and a blast from a second weapons platform struck him full in the back, driving him forward and onto the ground in what had to be a fairly humorous face-plant. So much for looking badass. Arty groaned as he pushed himself up, and even though his armor remained (relatively) unscathed, the flesh beneath had not reacted well to so much force being slammed into him. What pain there was had all but faded by the time he got to his feet, however, and as he turned to face his new opponent he narrowly avoided a second well-aimed blast to his face.<br/><br/>""Hey now, that just ain't nice. At least give a guy a chance to recover first."" No such luck. A third blast was evaded with a roll to his left, and a fourth as he leapt up and forward to land on the chassis of the behemoth. The static charge that permeated the air grew in intensity as he slid one sword back into its sheath and swept the other through the twin sensor stalks of the metal beast. Small arcs of electricity began to jump between the fingers of his now empty hand as the charge grew even further, until he finally slammed his hand down onto the metal plating he was standing on and sent out a surge of bio-electric energy strong enough to fry every wire inside the hideous thing. It crashed to the ground in a smoking heap. Good thing magical alien robots still use wiring.<br/><br/>He sheared another smaller robot in two without even looking (gotta get at least a few badass points back after that faceplant), then headed back toward the ship to confer with his ally.

A small subsection of the supercity to the northernmost border full of technicians who are bountiful in information about crafting magic fueled machinery. Oh splendid circumstance, Jessibelle had her guard hand her a notepad and pen. The craftsmen prattled on about engineering and the like, Jessibelle was happy to see that they were so divulgent of information. Jessibelle thought it so kind of them to freely give her this knowledge, and she was going to give the people who had followed her through this knowledge. They could certainly use it to their advantage.<br/><br/>In reality there was great fear in these men, the six very intimidating folks were not the sort who usually came around. In fact they were so different that they had been ousted as outworlders almost immediately. Not a soul mentioned it but boy did they talk about it behind her back in hushed whispers. An enormous arachnid was never a pleasant sight to people who had never seen one before, and hell, to some people who have seen them before it's still unpleasant. Though externally the empress seems genuinely unaware of the people's fear of her, in fact she'd be hurt if she knew what people think of her. She'd probably get really sad if you said that you didn't like her.<br/><br/>Not because you hurt her feelings.<br/><br/>She just hates to see good men go missing.<br/><br/>After making her daily rounds, offering trade requests for foodstocks and other miscellaneous materials. Such as raw metal, plastics, glass, et cetera. A few hundred or so Ahs Chini came in and hauled out a dozen or so tons of the material with- Questionably legal methods. The day was done and the sun began to set, Jessibelle set out to return to the fortress again with her workers carrying their workload back home, Jessibelle herself assisted with the haul. Making herself out to be a working woman at the same time, you know, the usual fare for convincing people that you're a great person. This is a daily thing with Jessibelle, mind you, she helps people and then returns home to do fuck-nothing all day until she's ready to make herself look good again. Perks of being an empress.<br/><br/>Retiring to her quarters before the sun met the horizon, the forward guards in the exterior border were cycled to the next shift for night guards. The Empress herself was rather uncaring tonight, she didn't even bother to drop off her notes to the workers. That kinda just left them with several tons of raw material just laying about inside the fortress.<br/><br/>Jessibelle herself was casually laying across her bed, body laid flat against the soft cushion and eyes cast at the ceiling. ""Thiss placce iss sso dry-y-y."" She whined to herself, not much fun was happening. Though she was getting work done she coudn't find anyone to play around with, and that was just boring. Unfortunately for Jessibelle her night guards were about to have a whole lot of fun and she would be wholly unaware of it until morning, as the empress passed into slumber.<br/><br/>Outside as night fell upon the Supercity and Fortress the sound of scraping metal and electronic moans began to pollute the air. The several night guards at their posts were upset by the sound, the sound had come every night for almost their entire stay here. They stared out over the ruined terrain and spotted something truly horrifying, shambling metal constructs from a war long since passed. They lurched with broken legs and shattered forms held together with wires and strands of rusted iron. The guards whipped up their rifles and began firing, the bullets ripped through their metal bodies but they marched onwards. Pressing ever forward despite their broken forms. The guards strapped their rifles to their backs and pulled out several varying melee weapons. Ranging from batons to spears they charge the mechanical monsters and began hacking away at their bodies. Cleaving head and arms from shoulders and knocking them onto their backs, leaving them little more than a writhing pair of legs on the ground.<br/><br/>What were these things?<br/><br/>To the Ahs Chini they were an obstical, until some of the less ruined ones began attacking. Two guards were slain by one machine with just one arm and a wheel missing from the side of its right foot, it was frighteningly fast on its legs. The remaining guards began focusing solely on the one genuinely threatening machine, attempting to neutralize it before it killed any more. The sound of lightning footsteps on soft ground was heard as the Head Guard was alerted to the presence of hostiles, Mortimer himself burst from over the fortified walls and spun through the air like a corkscrew. His lower body twisted around and his right leg collided with the head of the hobbled automaton. What was once a threat to his guards was now decapitated and lying on the ground, twitching violently.<br/><br/>""Keep them outside of the walls at all costs, prevent them from entering our fortress! The Lady slumbers and does not need interuptions from filthy machines! Understand?""<br/><br/>The guards saluted with their hand to their chest and then a clenched fist to their forehead, reciting: ""My mind and body for the people."" The commanding guard just nodded and sprinted off into the hordes of oncoming machines.<br/><br/>""I gave my body to the sole purpose of defending our Lady from all harm! If a group of mindless machines thinks they can stay my hand they will be met with a grim fate!"" Mortimer leapt onto the shoulders of a larger machine with only one foot, the other cocked backwards like a football player's leg. Like a knife his leg swung forward and he knocked the machine's head clean off its shoulders and into the chest of another robot. ""Guards, send the four advance troops to The Lady's door. In case any get into the fortifications."" The guard nodded quickly and skittered inside, working all eight of his legs as quickly as possible to get to the guard room. Arrival was quick, the guard chambers weren't too far from the entrance.<br/><br/>""Sirs! Madam! Mortimer has ordered the four of you to the door of The Lady, to keep her in slumber while we deal with the machines. As well as to defend her, should any of them get inside you are to defend her. Understood?"" The advance guards took the orders to heart and had begun donning their equipment mid sentence, clothing themselves in full riot gear and large rifles far too heavy for any human to wield.<br/><br/>Without a word they marched to the door of Jessibelle and positioned themselves at both ends of the hallway, pressing themselves flat against the wall and keeping a close eye on the door to get inside. Dutch pointed to the entranceway and then upwards, a signal to climb but keep an eye on the door. The other three nodded in agreement and scuttled up to the top of the wall and onto the roof, laying themselves out flat and aiming their guns downward. Anything that wasn't donned in the charcoal colored clothing of the Ahs Chini servicemen and women was to be fired upon.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Mortimer was still fighting the machine forces outside the fortress. ""I'm having a thought right now."" He mumbled silently as he grappled with one of the smaller machines. ""If we capture these metal-men after killing them. And then we turn them into raw metal."" The human-spider amalgom tore the machine in half with his hands and cast the rusted metal chunks aside. ""We could get a great amount of free resources for our project."" With a headbutt to the chest of a taller machine, rupturing its chest cavity and causing it to fall over stunned. ""It'll take a great deal of reforging, of course. They're super rusty.""<br/><br/>This was a habit that even Jessibelle noticed, Mortimer speaks to himself an unusual amount. Not to the point of madness, but still an unsettling amount.<br/><br/>It was going to be a long time before they see the morning sun again, when the sun rises they'll be able to salvage the metal and begin work."

Sheltered behind the ship, near its half-submerged entrance ramp, the Clockwork Man was in fact reading the results his Spider had presented for him. It was truly impressive.<br/><br/>“Five minutes.” He answered finally, whipping out his pistol and turning towards Arty, his hands a blur as he reloaded the revolver and prepared it to fire. He took aim at the human’s head, and then with a small twist fired one round directly towards him. It missed by inches, cracking through another robot some distance behind him; it exploded as a lazer perforated its body.<br/><br/>“You may want to enter the ship now.” The Clockwork Man suggested curtly, leaving Arty no time to potentially protest to his near brush with the Elmorium tipped bullet. That shot could have just have easily ruptured the human’s skull, though the Clockwork Man predicted that he would have likely avoided it regardless. If circumstances had been different, if he had been different, that might have been a shot with Arty’s name on it. However, there was no point milling on that, the Automaton had made his choice to accept his new companion, for better or worse.<br/><br/>Entering through the ships loading ramp, the Clockwork Man swiftly traversed the dark-metal corridor past a number of vital system rooms, and awaited Arty’s arrival. Once safely aboard it was simplistic for him to shut the doors, and continue walking towards the front of the ship, past two more rooms resembling incredibly spartan living quarters. The Clockwork Man finally reached the very front of the ship, where a tough transparent glass revealed naught but dirt and scrap out the window. The Clockwork Spider perched on the console, its mandibles connected to the mainframe as it initiated thrusters, causing rubble to smash and fall from the outside of the hull. Lazer fire buzzed outside, the Broken Ones fighting their turn-cloak ally while some scratched ineffectively at the outer-layer of the ship.<br/><br/>Provided Arty had decided to join him in the bridge, which seemed like the most logical course of action, the Clockwork Man would turn to him.<br/><br/>“This could be rough.” He remarked cooly, seizing hold of a concave metallic chair to hold himself steady as the ship shook and vibrated violently, before erupting with a blast of vibrant purple fire from the scrap-fields, and bursting into the night sky."

Then the gun flicked to the left and the jig was up. Apparently his new ally liked playing games. Dangerous ones. The round exploded past his head and he ignored it, apart from noting the sound it made as it crashed into the chassis of the broken one that had apparently been trying to sneak up on him. He liked this guy's style.<br/><br/>Once inside the ship, he followed closely behind the Clockwork man as he led the way to what Arty assumed would be some kind of control room, making notes in his head of the various systems they passed along the way, memorizing what he could of the layout before they reached their destination. He was no slouch when it came to technology, that much was evident in the design of his armor, but most of the systems he saw here mystified him. He'd have to find some time later on to examine them more closely.<br/><br/>When they reached the bridge and Mr. Clockwork issued his cautionary warning, Arty did little more than reach a hand out to place his palm against the nearest wall. Not exactly the most braced of postures, except for the intense van der waals force he then generated in hand and feet, binding himself to the surfaces in a nearly unbreakable grip. Suck it, spider-man.<br/><br/>The ship shuddered violently as it began to lift out of the small crater it had created upon impact, then they were free and soaring toward the sky, leaving behind the field of chaos below."

After the first few hours Mortimer retired to his chambers to rest his weary body.<br/><br/>Jessibelle, stirred by the commotion outside, was quite awake at this time. The empress skittered her way over to the window and looked outside in a rather sleepy haze. You know the one where you're unusually cheerful and know you're going to fall asleep again. As she did this she spotted the familiar trail of a starship leaving the atmosphere, for some reason this made her laugh aloud. Having caught herself laughing she covered her mouth with a knuckle and just smiled. After a few more minutes of watching the sky she returned to her bed and fell back into comfortable slumber.<br/><br/>Several hours went past and at least four hundred of the robots had been slain on the field outside of the fortification, the last of the machines fell to their knees and then to the ground as the sun rose over the horizon. The invasive force was shutting down in some sort of refueling coma or something, maybe they were solar powered and shut down when the sun came up to recharge. Yeah that's the best logical bet. Or something more mystical like dark magic that powers them. On this crazy backwoods planet you really can't tell now can you?<br/><br/>As the morning came the numerous workers from the Ahs Chini fort came out to examine the remnants of battle, they saw that only five had fallen in the night. Mortimer's exhaustive fighting had thinned out the forces of the most dangerous of the machines, this left the rest able to be felled by the remaining guard forces. As the guards retired for the day the workers emerged and awaited The Lady's order. Conveniently she was awake and overlooking the ruined field of battle. ""Good morning~"" She grinned sleepily out over the crowd of her people, looking down at the broken bodies of machines. ""My, there wass quite the fiassco lasst night, wassn't there?""<br/><br/>One man stepped forward rather nervously and called out an answer. ""Yes Lady Jessibelle, during the night we lost a total of five men. The most loss we have had since we landed here, Ma'am."" With that he bowed his head and stepped back, making sure to avoid her line of sight with his own eyes.<br/><br/>Her face turned into a saddened frown, the loss of five men, how unfortunate. ""Oh dear, we musst dig thesse brave soulss gravess at oncce. Poor creaturess, I knew there would be risskss coming here. I wissh I had've sseen it coming."" All at once several men and women called up to her balcony, saying praise about how she was doing it all for the right reasons. Though the risks were great and all that garbage, Jessibelle loved being held in such high regard. Though the usual comments about how she's doing it all for the right reasons bothered her. Not because of regret or anything stupid like that, she's just heard it way too much in recent days.<br/><br/>Clearing her throat she took up a more serious tone and pointed down to the five slain men. ""Alright, today iss the firsst day of a new age among my people! Thesse five men laid down their livess for thiss goal and I won't let their ssacrificce go in vain. Begin burial cceremoniess for the five of them and head to the main chamber in the fortresss and prepare for insstruction! Today we build a bright future on the backss of thosse losst!"" Burial preceding s were quickly finished and those who remained entered the main structure as per her instruction. They awaited her with a rather anxious stirring among the crowd, they had rarely seen her this excited before. This was going to be a very hectic time, likely spanning the course of a week at least.<br/><br/>Among the people Jessibelle marched with Mortimer at her back, followed shortly by the four advance guards. The empress herself was donned in an unusually light amount of clothing, little more than a poncho draped over her shoulders. These were her work clothes, and the people were stunned to see her wearing them. At the head of the room she stood in front of a small metal box with small tubes leading in and out of it and a single hook on the front of it. A makeshift projector to be exact. ""My people I mourn the losss of the five ssoulss who passsed lasst night. But we musst never forget why we are here! To better the Ahss Chini racce! That iss why I gathered this information yessterday, I have obtained great knowledge from the engineerss of thiss world of Mysstique. And now you will learn!""<br/><br/>The following segment is a timeskip. Jessibelle instructed the people of this planet's ability to travel through space with magical ships and how they were able to leave their own world with these great constructs. Jessibelle's projector showed images, sketches and diagrams of how these ships worked and how they were barely different on an engineering level than Earthen ships. After this she sent the people out to work, the incredible laborers of the Ahs Chini work force were lightning quick with assembling the basic framework.<br/><br/>In 22 hours of work they had laid out what was the rough shape of the letter H attached to a sphere in metal strips that are at least three feet wide at their thickest point. It was like looking at the skeleton of some great beast, no detail or hull yet, just the bare bones of a massive metal construct. It took fifty men at every bend to weld and force it into shape with machines 'borrowed' from the people of Mystique. In this 22 hour period they had crafted this 750 foot long metal monster's skeleton. Like some kind of massive skyscraper on its side, the inhuman work force was more than able to work this part out with relative ease. It would take a lot longer, however, to make the rest of the ship.<br/><br/>The skeleton was the easy part.<br/><br/>In the next few days this ship would have some muscle."

About 600 men and women were devoted to the main ship, however 300 workers were devoted to another smaller project. These 300 workers were divided into three groups:<br/><br/>Group A: Smaller faster ships, 140 workers were focused on this project. Creating ships the size of fighter jets for easy combat deployment.<br/><br/>These ships were being built at a rate of 11 per day, their simple and small design assisted greatly. Their engines were small rotating tetrahedronal objects connected to output receivers, it functioned in almost the same way as an internal combustion engine in terms of output. They're not very advanced in terms of technology, but they would prove to be efficient.<br/><br/>Group B: 120 workers focusing on a second large ship, only 100 feet from end to end. They had made good progress but otherwise it was nowhere close to being finished.<br/><br/>Only the skeleton was built.<br/><br/>Group C: The remaining 40 workers were sent out with tradable materials to purchase enormous food stocks, these food stocks will be important in later days.<br/><br/>Now, back to the main ship. Day in and day out Jessibelle had been working alongside her people to create this great ship, the front section had been fully encased in a protective hull and a secondary section had been constructed. Attached to the massive H shape was a large hexagonal prism that was as wide and long as the H in front. it was, however, half as tall as the H is long. Making it an enormous skeletal block of metal that could be seen from miles away. They had been working tirelessly on the front half, leaving the second portion almost completely bare.<br/><br/>Time to get back to the character here.<br/><br/>Jessibelle, about 9pm took a break from working and traveled into the supercity and paid a rather hefty sum to be televised to the people of the city. With a bit of rehearsal Jessibelle planned something rather dubious for the people of Mystique. The Empress presented herself on what was equivalent of television to these people and began to speak, she spoke of many things but most importantly was her offer of mutual peace, at the cost of substantial trading supplies. Jessibelle worded this in such a way as to not sound threatening, but also excluding the option of violent opposition to the concept. This trade agreement was as such: The Ahs Chini would provide schematics for terraforming machines to return their planet to its former state, away from the wasteland appearance. And in return the Ahs Chini would be allowed access to any number of tons of metal for construction.<br/><br/>This exchange was rather vital, as the Ahs Chini were running low on tradeable goods, and if an exchange of information for goods and services wasn't enough then it would result in catastrophic failure of the fortress. Leaving Jessibelle's people stranded on the planet. Jessibelle, of course, mentioned this in the most innocent and damsel-in-distress-ly way possible. A few hours later and the empress met with the head political leader of the super city and discussed the agreement, with a bit of bargaining and Mortimer 'accidentally' breaking the arm of a guard who tried to disarm him, a consensus was reached.<br/><br/>The Mystans agreed to the trade agreement and Jessibelle returned home with good news.<br/><br/>It's quite sad that the terraforming technology wouldn't work on this planet, how unfortunate that technology doesn't work without magic here."

A quick announcement to her people and she had exponentially increased the morale of her people 100%, there wasn't a single unhappy face in the crowd. She retired to her chambers for the night and told her people to do the same, that tomorrow was going to be a big day. And it was.<br/><br/>The night passed, the robots attacked, the guards kept them back. Did you know, waves of the same attack actually become boring once you figure out how to keep them at bay? Jessibelle did, and though she lost two men that one night she was quite content with the way things are now.<br/><br/>In the morning of the fourth day of construction she ordered them into the same group as they were before, except group C was sent to gather the material discussed in the trade agreement. They hauled back such substantial stores of material that the build rate of everything was moved up to at least twice the speed they were before. With new construction machines and plenty of volunteers from the super city they had completed the full hull the main ship and secondary large ship by the end of the day.<br/><br/>One week and three days later: (The following is ALL for one plot point that I'm working towards. These will not be used in any sort of realistic combat scenario. I repeat, this is NOT for combat. This is for adversity in the plot.)<br/><br/>Jessibelle's fleet was of substantial size now, the Mystans had sent out a huge number of workers to assist in her construction of the ships. At least a thousand men and women were now helping the thousand workers of the Ahs Chini. They now had 40 total larger ships, similarly sized to the 100 foot long ship. They had also managed to salvage the onboard computers from some of the war machines, turning them into ship-board processors to calculate shots more accurately. The smaller ships filled the larger classes, numbering well within the hundreds. (202 to be exact.)<br/><br/>Categorization, manning, and arms of ships by size:<br/><ul><br/><li>Jessibelle's Ahs Chini Flagship, The Silver Maiden: Manned by 451 Ahs Chini workers and warriors this ship single handedly has the largest crew. With a genuine onboard AI, built from the processors of the ancient war machines. 1,560 meters long, at its tallest it is 520 meters high, at its widest it is 750 meters.<br/><br/>The ship itself has four engines, two normal engines similar to earthen construction. However the other two are magic engines, enormous in size and outpit. The combination of multiple outputs with several oversized thrusters will allow for entry and exit from atmosphere with ease. It also allows for FTL travel in calculated distances. <br/><br/>The front of the ship has two enormous railguns, running up almost the enitre length of the ship itself. These are 4,000 sequence rail guns, each sequence boasts incredible strength. These twin rail guns accelerate metal so quickly that it liquifies before being fired. (Much like the reapers from mass effect, except there's two of them.)<br/><br/>The ship is crafted from thickly plated steel, at its thickest point it is 2 feet deep. At its thinnest it is 9 inches deep. <br/><br/>It is lined from front to back in smaller cannons that can fire in every direction. About half of the smaller ships are inside the docking bay of The Silver Maiden. </li><br/><br/><li>Ahs Chini Assault Cruisers: Medium sized ships that are lightly plated, running on two magic engines each. They carry a number of the smallest ships in their docking bays. Five jet sized fighters per cruiser. They're 100 meters long and 40 meters tall.<br/><br/>These are each manned by 18 men and women. <br/><br/>They are heavily armed but not in the same way as the flagship, they have several magic based weapons mounted on the front and sides. They fire off blasts of blue energy that function in much the same way as artillery fire. These too are capable of matching FTL travel in the same way as the main ship, however recharge time is required for extensive distances.</li><br/><br/><li>Ahs Chini Space Fighters: Small ships with mystical engines that propel them at well beyond the speed of sound in the vacuum of space. They have the same kinds of cannons as the cruisers, although downscaled they pack a sizeable punch. They are one man fighters, they are not heavily plated. They are about 10 meters wide and 2 meters tall.</li><br/></ul><br/>With the construction of her fleet finished she ordered the construction of the terraforming device, due to the help of the Mystans she had reconsidered her rather brash decision. The machine was wholly redesigned to function within the atmosphere of the planet. The engine would, over the course of the next few hundred years, repair the planet to its natural state.<br/><br/>If nothing bad happens to it.<br/><br/>Like a deliberately placed faulty wire that just so happens to be exposed to the fuel core.<br/><br/>To Jessibelle. After the past two weeks of hard work she ordered everyone to the fort to rest up for the night, including the guards. The numerous ships were a sufficient wall to prevent the mechanical zombies from attacking them in the night. And the way she saw it, they all needed a good rest. They had all worked so hard for her, the poor things. Jessibelle gave a speech to them before they all slept, telling them how they did an amazing job. You know how disingenuous praise goes. But they retired for the night and morning was just a dream away."

He tried to wipe the grime out of his eyes but his gloves were just as dirty. He recoiled back in pain as the situation was made even worse and his eyes stung to warn him of this fact; he had foolishly brushed dirt directly into his eyeball in his state of confusion.<br/><br/>Without equipment he was all too delicate, as this little display of his revealed. Not that you couldn't tell from first glance by how dainty he looks.<br/><br/>At least he was alive, he thought with a smile, once his watering eyes had cleared them enough to allow him to witness the blaze still going on behind him, enveloping the last trace of his ticket out of here within the fire and smoke. Everything was smooth sailing one moment until the next everything had failed to work, causing him to drop out of the sky while he was observing the creation of a mysterious fleet going on below him. Could he risk going over there to ask for assistance? He was only around an hour jog away and even faster by air, so certainly reachable. Perhaps he was too trusting of mysterious warship builders, but then again everyone deserves a chance to be trusted and accepted, so who was he to judge if these people may or may not be dangerous?<br/><br/>Okay, the ships were heavily armed so they were clearly dangerous, but maybe not<i>dangerous</i>dangerous. At least not to him anyways. He didn't wish to camp out in the middle of nowhere at any rate, so it was either go to the fort or find out how to build shelter for himself and eat bugs or something...an easy choice.<br/><br/>Before he set out he checked his supplies, wiping off the soot on the cleanest patches of the ground he could find to give him a better view. He still had on his Invisible Pocket, although it only had his weaker technology. It appeared like his other one was toast within the ship, which was a shame considering how much it had cost his parents, them sparing no expense on his safety, and he hardly had gotten a chance to use it. His thoughts went out to his mother and father at this reminder. He wasn't going to die here. They had faith in him to survive and help restore peace to the galaxy, so that's what he was going to do, and then he'd pay them a visit alive and well once he had enough of this adventuring.<br/><br/>He pressed a button on his wrist to activate his invisible pocket, proving that it was still working when a flash of light sprung into existence in front of him, revealing a white pod with wings about the size of a large man curled up. He stepped on board, the pod dipping slightly in midair at his weight but then returning to it's original levitation height without difficulty. He was so glad that this vehicle, Marshmallow, had been on the surviving invisible pocket. It would make things 10 times faster, infinitely easier, and he also had a ton of good memories riding on it. Squatting down to help himself balance and then leaning forward, the vehicle sped off towards it's destination. Speeding...speeding...floating...plop!<br/><br/>He face planted off of the vehicle and onto the ground, hearing the dreaded sound of Marshmallow crashing behind him, narrowly avoiding rolling him over by a lucky bounce sending it flying overhead, clattering one last time in front of her before going still, it's glowing light underneath the wings faded. It vanished back into his invisible pocket and not a moment later the lights on it went dark. He pushed a few buttons, only to realize to his horror that it was no longer working.<br/><br/>""EH?!?!?!"" He shouted to himself. How could all of his tech be breaking at once? And at a time like this? Could the fall have done damage? He inspected the device once more, closer this time, but didn't see any problems. He didn't know if to be relieved or frightened. No known problems meant no known solutions.<br/><br/>He got back onto his feet slowly, dusting himself off.<br/><br/>""Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts,"" he thought to himself, warding off the sense of dread. As he traveled the sun was setting faster then expected, him only around 80% of the way there by the time night would fall. Days on this planet sure didn't last long, and what would happen in the dark? He couldn't see as well and might have an accident, monsters or not.<br/><br/>And then the monsters did come. At first he thought he was seeing things due to being paranoid or tired, but as they go closer he most certainly saw mechanized being roaming around...heading his way. Out for blood. This quickened his pace substantially, thin legs moving faster then they ever had before. He had to make it to the fort! He only had to focus on that, not whatever was stalking him. He wasn't made out for sprinting but he still managed in his adrenaline filled state. The walls loomed closer and closer, and when he got within shouting range he began to give pleas for help out at the top of his lungs. They were almost on him, and with no weapons he was a goner if they caught up.<br/><br/>"" Please, please open that door, whoever you are!!!"" filled his head as he shouted, arms waving more and more wildly as time passed. Just a few more moments and he was done for."

Dutch raised a brow to the rest of the crew, they all shrugged at him. None of them really saw this as a genuine threat, but they were the only ones awake and they were obligated to check. Lest they make the mistake of being too unwary and getting someone killed. So they armed themselves with longswords and assault rifles, once they were fully dressed they charged the door.<br/><br/>Outside, however, was not just a zombified machine. No, there was a small man fearful for his own life. The strange man was screaming at the top of his lungs. With good reason they soon noticed, behind him was a small group of the metallic monstrosities. They were dead set on capturing him. Had the guards not shown up he would have died.<br/><br/>Magdeline pointed at the pack and raised her gun up to her eye, looking down the sights at their heads. ""Fire!"" She shouted, the other three followed suit and unleashed a hail of lead upon the machines. It took a good bit of fire and two clips per guard but the robots were all felled in respectable time.<br/><br/>After felling the robots Arnold walked over to them and kicked at them with his front legs, testing to see if they're dead.

These people are not bad,"" he told himself in his mind repeatedly. ""Phobias are silly. There's nothing to be afraid of.""<br/><br/>""Ah, I'm Melon,"" he replied to one of their demands, standing with his back straight in good posture despite how tired he was from all his running making it difficult to even stand. If they looked with any attention at all they could probably see his body quivering, not just from the leftover adrenaline but also because of his sore muscles and fear. The name he gave wasn't his true name, but a codename he had used on earth because he loved to eat melons. He now blurted it out instinctively rather then his real name, but it might as well be his real name now. It was much easier for people to pronounce then his bizarre, alien (at least to them) name.<br/><br/>He stood still, not knowing what else to do besides wait for a reply."

""Boy, you could have died you know? If the guard room wasn't posted right next to this door, you would have died. And we wouldn't have found your corpse until the morning."" With a quick tug he began forcing Melon inside. ""Better hurry on in, we don't know whether they'll be drawn in by the sounds of gunfire."" The arachnid pushed the alien inside the building, scuttling down the hallways with the stranger in tow. At the end of the main hallway was a rather small, but not tiny, holding room.<br/><br/>With a quick shove he pushed Melon into the room and handed him a plate full of food, varying fruits vegetables and meats. Small stuff but enough food to give him a full stomach. ""Sorry about this, but until morning comes y'gotta stay in here. Alright?"" Without waiting for a response he closed the door and placed a padlock on it.<br/><br/>After locking up Melon for the night the four guards made sure there were no more machines coming, there were none, so they returned to their beds for the night. Once morning came the door to Melon's room was unlocked and in stepped a tall and dark figure.<br/><br/>Mortimer.<br/><br/>He growled out a few words to the stranger. ""I hear your name is Melon. What kind of name is that?"""

He was especially glad that he wasn't eaten by monsters. All in all things could have gone a lot worse for him after his technology had malfunctioned. He'd have to mention this to them and see if he could buy some spare parts or see if they had any idea what was going on. He had all of these questions in mind, but a tall guy stepping into his room forcefully asked his own question instead. Oh well, guess he'd have to comply. He wasn't the rebellious type, especially when he was surrounded by his phobias who could easily have him dead before he had time to blink. He got up onto his feet and approached him, still keeping a safe distance.<br/><br/>""Well you see, sir, Melon is my codename because that was the first thing that came to mind when asked what I was called by an Earthling. I love eating melons, you see, and I couldn't reveal my true name to them or else gather suspicion that I was an alien...i-i-it's not like I lied to you guys or anything! I consider melon like my true name now so I'm not hiding anything!"" He waved his thin arms frantically in front of him as if to ward off incriminating accusations. ""So yeah, please just call me Melon, if you don't mind."""

Reaching this far through the outer city wastelands had called for a several-hour travel through sunrise, and the barren landscape and temperature did not make it any more enjoyable. But time was never a problem for an ageless being, and thus her safety was a more pressing concern; if her somewhat shady goals were to be carried out, her energy would best be saved for the return trip.<br/>The young woman was uncannily flawless in appearance, with tanned skin and neck-length hair which hung in waves down to her neck. A beige longcoat trailed behind her in light winds, with loose matching trousers and a grey top beneath. Her height was modest, but certainly did not impact the confidence of her strides, and nor that of the two companions which loyally followed after her.<br/><br/>Neither of the pair seemed to mind the journey - nor much else for that matter, as they lifelessly tailed behind in servile silence. To the left of Carmen, a 7-foot-tall, monstrous humanoid creature edged onwards with an uneven gait, its slit eyes held emptily upon its master. At first glance, it bore resemblance to a shark, complete with leathery skin, fins running down its back, a matching tail, and exposed gills stretching over its large biceps. Five of the creature's six limbs terminated in sharp, bone-white points, and bone-like plates of identical colour coated the entirety of its underside. Its remaining limb, specifically its right arm, supported a bulbous 4-foot crab's claw attached to the joint - or rather appeared to be supported by it, given its huge weight and lack of bipedal feet. The inner of the claw was laced with living gums - withholding rows of serrated teeth, further complimenting its predatory appearance.<br/>Her second companion was more focused on the trio's surroundings, hovering a few feet above and opposite the shark-like creature. It appeared to be a cross between a rabbit and a dragonfly, possessing the body of the former, yet the wings and abdomen of the latter. A pair of mandibles fitted grotesquely beneath its pink button nose; three small ocelli rested above it, and two reddish eyes were planted obliquely on either side. Its elongated, gangly legs hung down from where it floated, and a feint purple sheen glistened beneath its dusky fur.<br/><br/>""Three ships tracked... and all of them got totalled?"" Carmen sighed upon reaching her destination, laying a hand upon the what remained of the recent crash site. Molten metal and charred dirt surroundings encircled a damaged, single-manned spaceship, an event which had occurred no more than half a day ago. Indeed, this was not the first misfortune she encountered since her arrival on Mystique; by their frequency, she suspected it was the planet's atmosphere that caused foreign crafts to malfunction. ""But,"" she voiced cheerily to herself, ""this one has led me somewhere interesting.""<br/>The young woman helped herself to climb atop the wreckage, a feat she performed effortlessly despite her small frame. A quick outer search was enough to confirm anyone inside there had since evacuated, which was somewhat a relief. But more importantly, it gave a clear, spectacular view of what laid ahead; something which could just make her journey worthwhile after all.<br/><br/>If she didn't know any better, it looked as if she had encountered a war fleet, and a particularly modern one at that. Their designs were distinctly different from those which frequented the city, suggesting they were not affiliated, but their proximity to the city determined they were not enemies either. It was a longer shot than she anticipated, but she was sure to have a better chance negotiating here than with official transport.<br/>What she assumed to be the fleet's base was nearby, an eerie structure held firm by webbed walls and supports. She was hardly hiding atop the shipwreck; if the locals were hostile, they likely would have fired at her already, but not before her flying accompaniment spotted them first. Developed as a scouting creature, its eyesight and hearing were more developed than most other lifeforms, detecting the slightest of changes in its environment. So far, no actions had been shown that warranted its attention, letting Carmen assume she was free to approach.<br/>And so she jumped down from the craft's cockpit, and the trio headed calmly towards the fort in search of an entrance. Judging by the size of the fleet, they were greatly outnumbered here, enough to make her dismiss the idea of a silent infiltration. Rather, she would aim to keep this a peaceful visit - at least, for precisely as long as her hosts were willing."

""Come on."" He ushered the alien out of the room with a tilt of his head. ""Follow me, the Lady will likely wish to see a visitor in her chambers."" Without waiting for him to follow he went on ahead, a quick pace to set for Melon. ""You will need to remember two things while speaking to Lady Jessibelle. Do not point out her appearance. Do not point out her lisp. You would not wish to insult your host."" The demi-human spoke with a completely unnecessary intensity to his words.<br/><br/>They reached the door and Mortimer knocked on it lightly, from inside a calm little voice hissed out. ""Who isss it~?"" With a little sing-song about it.<br/><br/>The stoic soldier spoke up in response. ""My lady it is Mortimer and the newcomer. ""<br/><br/>The empress grinned and called out to Mortimer. ""Come in, I wissh to sspeak with thiss Melon~"" Without hesitation he shoved Melon into the room and closed the door quickly behind them. The guard quickly went on his way to check the main door, it was morning now and the night guard was settling in for the day. Mortimer didn't want to leave a gap in the guard so he went to personally oversee it.<br/><br/>In the the Lady's quarters, Jessibelle was laying across her bed, letting her upper half dangle over the edge a bit. She was only just waking up you see, and was in no mood to actually move. However cheerful she was, she wasn't going to be moved an inch. ""Hello, Melon, nicce to finally ssee you."" Though she hadn't moved this morning there was a plate full of fruits from around Mystique, they were all artificially grown of course but otherwise they tasted alrght. With one hand she pointed at the plate, the other hand covering her mouth in a yawn. ""Would you like ssome fruit, sssweetie? I eat fruit exxclussively , it'ss part of a diet I've been trying."" To be honest, this was just her covering up for the fact that she couldn't reach the bowl.<br/><br/>Back to Mortimer and the Advanced Guards.<br/><br/>The half human walked down the hallway into the main room, hearing the sounds of the night guards heading in for the day he smiled. Mortimer knocked on the advance guard's chamber, giving a quick order for them to help him oversee the day to night transition. They obviously compled and changed into their uniforms. They only had their sidearms but they were still armed and equipped. They marched outside and watched the last guards made their way inside. ""Good uniformnity, but we have a 3 minute gap in our guard cycle.""<br/><br/>Almost immediately he heard the sound of feet thumping against dirt, someone was still out here. Mortimer pointed in the direction of the sound, wordlessly directing them that there was possibly a hostiile nearby. Four of them in unison withdrew their weapons, the leader did not carry a side arm. He moved silently, as a cat in midnight he strafed around the structure. There were three of them, mutants like himself. Concerning, if they were on the same scale of strength as he was then the guards would be at risk. They knew what they were getting into, he could not concern himself with their well being.<br/><br/>From the front the advanced guards marched forward, raising their sidearms up and trailing their sights on the three newcomers. They spat out an order to them. ""Lay down any weapons on your person and raise your hands into the air. You are on site for a soon to be launch zone."" Behind the three newcomers there was Mortimer, maintaining his silence and calculating which of these three would be their leader. It seemed to be the most normal one in the center, Mortimer would target her if they made the mistake of making a threatening action."

An interesting quadruple they were, she thought, observing their spider-like appearances and sophisticated uniforms. Somewhat heeding the guard's words, her walk slowed to a very gradual halt, and her arms parted to her sides.<br/>As the warning was made, she was quick to pick up on the implication of the fleet launching soon; this was good for Carmen, for it meant less chance of being an inconvenience to them. But with the worst case scenario considered, she was certainly not keen on being caught up within a skirmish or war, no matter how small- or large-scaled it could be. Still, it would be worth her time to enquire; considering how long she had been stuck here already, waiting for an alternative could stall her for many more months than she was willing.<br/><br/>Clearly protective of its master, the shark-faced companion remained ahead and to the left of Carmen, its four arms partially stretched in front of her. Her scout, however, swiftly ceased flight and swivelled around, assuming a prone stance on all fours. Even while crouching at ground level, the scrawny rabbit-like creature still measured up to Carmen's waist. Its elongated wings gently swept the floor, and its five blackened eyes stared emptily at the lone general, cautioning the man without a sound.<br/><br/>""Blessed souls..."" Carmen began, wearing the lightest and most innocent smile she could muster. ""It pleases me to see such an orderly people."" her doctored voice was perfectly sleek and well-pronounced, with a sense of ethereal softness surely beyond human ability. Not once did she turn to glance at Mortimer herself, but it was clear she had spoken loud enough for him to hear.<br/>""...But isn't this a little much?"" she questioned rather abruptly, her head raised at the guard who addressed the order. Making no sudden movements, she unfastened her coat buckle and removed the garment, apparently having nothing to conceal.<br/>""I bear no weapons, nor seek any harm,"" she clarified, while folding the garment over the shark creature's lower right arm. ""I can sympathise with your concerns, but there are more polite ways to greet a lady than at gunpoint, no?"""

I appreciate all of the assistance that you have given me,"" he replied formally with a bow.<br/><br/>Although he normally preferred to act silly and event pull a prank or two, Melon didn't dare refuse her. Things were too far out of his comfort zone to be doing such childish antics. He had an all too serious look on his face as he inched forward slowly. As he got within grabbing distance of the plate his eyes quickly scanned the available selection of fruit in front of him. Unfortunately there was no melon, but that would be kind of hard to just pick up and eat right here anyways. He decided on the peach, daintily picking it up with his right hand while taking a step back.<br/><br/>""Thank you, your majesty,"" he said with a bow. ""I am indeed a little hungry.""<br/><br/>He wondered if she wanted him to eat it now or later, but made no mention of it so he decided that he might as well just dig in. He took a big bite, juice dripping down his face, which he wiped off with his left sleeve. The peaches here were, while nothing to write home about, which had some of the best selection of fruit available, still perfectly edible. It probably tasted even better due to the hungry he was experiencing. Too bad all of his food rations were burnt to a crisp along with his ship.<br/><br/>""About my...peculiar situation,"" he brought up, breaking the silence. ""For some reason it seems like all of my technology has been malfunctioning ever since I entered the planet's atmosphere. Do you, perhaps, know anything about this? I see that yours is doing just fine.""<br/><br/>For a split second he wondered if this group was somehow disabling any outside technology. The thought hadn't entered his mind until he said this. Well, even if it was true, that didn't mean that this group was bad. It could just be a defensive measure that accidentally lead to his crash. He tried not to show any of this consideration on his face, keeping it blank while he waited for a reply. What she said should be able to clear things up...he hoped. He finished off the peach while he waited."

Mortimer knew she was speaking to him, the smallest one had spotted him. The similar smell of their bodies was no coincidence, something was strange about them. Jessibelle would want more information on them, not just one newcomer. But four in recent times.<br/><br/>""Raise your hands into the air and head towards the fortress. The Lady will need to speak to you, she will decide what happens next. Understand?"" The four guards ahead kept their guns raised and circled around, forming a nice shape around the three newcomers.<br/><br/>Dutch and Magdeline crept in closely and pressed the barrels of their guns to their backs, the other three came in close and started ushering them inside.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in the chamber of Lady Jessibelle.<br/><br/>The meek little alien bowed before her, that was nice of him. Expose one's weak spots to someone you feel threatened by, good to know that he's already intimidated. Jessibelle can toy with that information a bit. When he approached the bowl she pushed herself forward on the bed, moving her face a bit closer to his. A peach, pale with fuzzy skin. Not unlike a human's flesh, a personal favorite of hers.<br/><br/>""You're more than welcome, Melon. Now, about your quesstion."" With a bit of effort she pulled herself upwards, making sure to keep her blanket wrapped around herself. No need to be offensive to your guest, though that was Mortimer's fault. ""On this planet, ssome form of energy disabless ssupernatural and technologic ssourcess. All of my sstudies ssay that it sshouldn't be posssible.' She turned herself around, hoisting herself up to her full height. ""And yet it happenss. Sso we discovered that thiss planet hass ressolved this isssue by mixxing the two, creating magic fueled technology. Leading to a sslew of sstrange questionss that can't be answered by the people here. Too ssimple folk.""<br/><br/>Jessibelle turned herself around with a slow scuttle, entering into a remarkably tall closet and closing the door behind her. She spoke through the door to Melon in the other room. ""I'll return momentarily."" After about a minute or so she returns in a strange outfit. Something along the lines of a space suit. But cut off at the waist. It was the kind that wasn't made of several interlocking pieces, just one piece with a rubber stopper to seal it in space. She was, of course, going into space. ""What do you think?""<br/><br/>Jessibelle presented herself to the meek little alien man, showed him the suit that she had designed for her. ""I'm going to have to cut thiss discusssion short, I'm afraid. We may continue on the bridge, but I do have a launch to keep on sschedule."""

""I don't have any magic.""<br/><br/>At least it seemed that these people were being helpful about this whole frightening ordeal, even if they<i>were</i>part of his fear. He'd have to continue relying on their support of he was to make it out of this mess, if what she told him was true. Either that or somehow get his hands on some other techno-magic vehicle, but that would be far too costly for his budget of...0 dollars in whatever this planet used for currency.<br/><br/>She came out soon enough in a spacesuit more goofy looking then his own, especially on the body of a spider. He almost laughed, but managed to contain himself for fear of what would happen to laugh at a spider queen.<br/><br/>""Oh, um, it looks...nice,"" he replied, turning his face away from her so she couldn't see his grin. He was about to ask her why she'd be wearing a space suit when she answered the question before it even left his lips.<br/><br/>""So soon?! Well, I don't mind. I feel naked without my technology working, so the sooner we can leave and get it back up and running the better,"" he replied. ""Once again, I appreciate your help, although I have nothing of offer either as payment or to show my appreciation. Most of my belongings were burned in the crash, so unless you want the clothes on my back, I'm afraid there's not much else.""<br/><br/>He showed her a smile for the first time, revealing that he was now at least comfortable enough to slip a little joke in. Perhaps it was because she looked far less imposing in that suit. It's like if a spider crawls onto your arm but you find it wearing a top hat and doing a tap dance; far more amusing then scary.<br/><br/>He turned to follow her wherever she would lead."

Carmen took clear note of their rather admirable loyalty, their justifications all addressed under the presumed single entity they served. It came to some surprise that they intended to take her straight to their leader - granting her the convenience of not having to negotiate her way up the ladder, nor explain her business to anyone besides those who mattered. Although she had yet to learn the sort of operation being carried here, she could safely say it was being run right.<br/><br/>""...Well, do as you must,"" she submitted, briefly rolling her eyes at the notion. ""I don't hope to trouble your schedule any more than my presence here."" She was still no more impressed by the hostility she was met with, but if a mere point-blank firearm was enough to bring them at ease, her discomfort could go unmentioned for now.<br/>Her words were punctuated with a final, inaudible syllable, serving to command her minions in several pitches above human frequency. Simple telepathy would usually suffice, but her abilities of using such had proved unreliable in her time on this planet. Nonetheless, the scout and the coat-rack ceased their hostility in a beat - no longer appearing to even acknowledge the troops surrounding them. Contently following their cues, she allowed herself to be guided towards the fort's entrance, the two constructs following just as calmly."

It wasn't designed for fashion, unfortunately, it was only designed in case of hull breach. The people insisted she wear the outfit for her safety, just to make them feel better. Though she's totally comfortable with having the extra protection. Outside of the room she lead Melon down the hallways, a good number of the Ahs Chini were loading their stuff up into boxes and hauling them out of the fortress. Up the hallways the pair walked, an entourage of people scurrying around her with bags and boxes and crates loaded and hauled away. Occasionally she would smile and wave to the folks, they would respond with nods waves and bows. It was rather regimental, an example of just how quickly these spider folk work.<br/><br/>As they made their way down these fabric halls Jessibelle spots Mortimer and the four head guards surrounding a trio of newcomers, as the hallway clears of civilians Jessibelle and Mortimer lock eyes for one moment. She shoots him a menacing glare for a scant moment and he returns a shrug, it's something that only the most perceptive eyes would have noticed. Together their faces return to their normal dispositions, and soon the pair meets up with the party of eight. Jessibelle turns around to face Melon. ""Pardon me for a moment, it sseemss I have other guestss."" Turning back around she dismisses the four advance guards. ""Alright you four, it'll be fine. You four take a party of volunteerss out and haul the remainss of Melon'ss sship into The Ssilver Maiden. Tell the workerss to repair it onboard once we launch, the poor dear'ss unable to get off the planet without our help.""<br/><br/>Turning her attention to the three newcomers as the four guards head off to do as she orders. Mortimer's guard lowers as Jessibelle begins to speak to Carmen. ""I asssume the mosst human of the three of you iss the leader?"" Extending her head downwards in a gesture of equality. ""My name iss Jesssibelle, a kind greeting to you. I am the Lady of the Ahss Chini, and I am the highesst authority of thesse people. I apologize for what will be a russhed converssation, ass we are on a sschedule. I ssuposse thiss converssation may be carried on the bridge of the Ssilver Maiden. Mind following me? We can make introductionss on board.""<br/><br/>Passing the trio of newcomers she signals to Mortimer to walk along side her, she begins speaking in French to him. The native language of Mortimer's home country. ""Mortimer, nouss ne pouvonss pass faire facce à ce genre de reverss. Nouss connaisssonss peu ou rien d'euxx et nouss ssommess ssur le point de laissser à bord. Veillez à ssécurisser mon épée ssur le pont, j'ai peut-être besssoin il.""<br/><br/>(English: Mortimer, we cannot cope with this kind of setback. We know little or nothing of them and we are about to leave on board. Be sure to secure my sword on the deck, I may need it.)<br/><br/>The guard nods at her request and tilts his head slightly towards the total of four newcomers, questioning her judgement silently. ""Ne vouss inquiétez pas Mortimer, je ssuiss ssûr que je sserai bien. Il n'est pass comme si je suiss incapable de gérer moi-même, d'ailleurss, l'un d'eux esst un incompétent clair.""<br/><br/>(English: Don't worry Mortimer, I'm sure I'll be fine. It's not as if I'm incapable of handling myself, besides, one of them is a clear incompetent. )<br/><br/>With that, Mortimer nodded and parted ways with Jessibelle, dashing off to the ship to ensure her sword was fastened underneath her personal console. Allowing her to have her weapon within reach, should this situation turn sour. ""Ssorry for the ssecreccy, the sship iss of vital importancce to me, and I had to enssure everything wass prepared for the launch. Mortimer will handle the launch ssequencce, sso that ssituation iss ssettled."" These words were spoken without her turning around, the empress was too busy marching out the front gates and to the loading bay of the ship. A long staircase came down from the side and Jessibelle paused. ""Melon, your sship iss insside in the repair bay. We were going to usse that exxclussively to repair our broken sshipss, and ssincce yourss was damaged we put it there. Assk the people in the hallss, they will direct you to your chamberss.""

He could finally feel himself warming up to this person at least a little bit. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, as his motto was, worked out for him yet again, as it would appear.<br/><br/>""I have to repay you somehow,"" he said. ""But for now I'll retire to my chambers as requested.""<br/><br/>The spider woman was already focused on someone else, a newcomer not like most of the others around here. An off worlder, perhaps, the same as him. He was a tad curious about her but decided on doing as told as asking about his room. He was getting really tired due to jet lag, his home planet completely off from this time table on when he should be awake and when he should be asleep. He'd be able to adjust during their flight, he hoped.<br/><br/>""Excuse me, do you know where my room is?"" He questioned, then followed the first one who answered him."

Even on eight legs she carried herself with the air and confidence of a queen, yet spoke as modestly as any other. Her present attire was not particularly telling of her status, but taking her other company's cues, Carmen was not about to mention that out loud. Through the sheer trust and honour displayed, it was clear that Jessibelle was nothing short of untouchable in this domain - which, if not an oversight, was possibly the reason why the guards saw no need to restrain their captives.<br/>Talking of such, another person had appeared alongside and behind Jessibelle; assumedly another visitor, if she was to tell by his vastly-differing suit and posture. It was easy enough to put two and two together, quickly learning he had survived or been rescued from the earlier wreck she discovered.<br/><br/>""It appears I have arrived at a less-than-ideal time,"" she stated the obvious, her tone filled with blissful apology. No longer being held at gunpoint, she took the opportunity to approach a step forward, introducing herself in turn. ""Still, I thank you for your....hospitality, at this busy hour. You may call me Carmen.""<br/>Since meeting Jessibelle, the two constructs had not shifted an inch, yet never appeared any less focused on the one standing between them.<br/>""I am no leader,"" their leader corrected her, beaming as angelically as ever. ""I merely hold their free will, so to speak. You may refer to us as one, if you prefer.""<br/><br/>Soon enough the group found themselves back outdoors, Carmen following close after the empress as she led the way towards their impressive flagship. Per her orders, the fellow stranger had been pointed towards a dormitory, and the remains of his crash site had been transported almost entirely. For a faction this regimented to spare time to repair an outsider's ship, let alone grant him somewhere to stay in the meantime... there could not possibly have been a more fortunate place for him to land -- and the same went for Carmen herself, who may never have stumbled upon this fleet otherwise."

That Mortimer was reliable. ""Ass you can ssee, Misss Carmen, we're a rather advancced people. Taking everything about the sscienccess sserioussly and to heart, never turning our back on any branch."" She turned and smiled at the chimeric being, the light scent of her and the two companions wafted over his nostrils. Appetizing aroma, but she couldn't break her diet. ""Ass you may alsso obsserve, we help thosse in need of help. Can't advancce ccivilizzation by hating eachother.""<br/><br/>Finished with her boasting she pointed to three chairs that sat a few feet away from her custom designed seating arrangements. With a body as large as hers, and as cumbersomely shaped, it is difficult for one to sit down the same way a human can. ""Sso, tell me more about yourssself. I'm quite aware that the two besside you aren't intelligent, at leasst, not in the sssame way ass you or I."" With her open palm she hinted towards the two creatures she had brought on board.

She had few doubts of the flagship being equally as impressive on the inside, though she particularly noticed the immaculate, perhaps excessive attention paid to the ship's stability and failsafes. She had already sussed that Jessibelle could not be challenged here by any means, but now it was clear just how much her subordinates were devoted to keeping it that way.<br/>Up ahead, the queen herself sounded just as proud of the craft as Carmen was privileged to be boarding it. Although, the ideals she spoke of were.. outlandish, to the point where she simply refrained from acknowledging it with anything more than a nod. She could certainly appreciate the kindness, but having lived through one too many corrupt civilisations in her time, her cautious scepticism could not be helped.<br/><br/>""I'm afraid I have little of a story to tell, Lady Jessibelle."" the guest answered with doctored politeness, despite being surprised by the question asked to her. Still, she was not in a position to outright decline, so she opted to pick her words carefully.<br/>""I first arrived a month ago, seeking distance from a particular contact of mine."" she soon began, sighing somewhat irritably at the mention. ""he has not followed me, so I figured it was time to move on... or so I would have liked.""<br/><br/>Now wearing her beige coat again, Carmen helped herself to the middle chair which was offered to her. The rabbit-like construct merely sat beside her at her feet, and the shark-like one did not appear to move too far from the room's entrance.<br/>""In my time here, I have acquired some... questionable luggage, so to say,"" Carmen continued. ""As it stands, I cannot leave this planet the way I had arrived. What I can find in these wastelands have seemed to be my best chance right now; the two beings with me have made that possible,"" she gestured to the rather comatose being rested next to her, ""But I expect you have already witnessed the fortunes most of them run into.""<br/><br/>Carmen leaned in gently, and her voice perked quite suddenly on her final note. ""...So. Having finally met someone with a sizeable ship intact, I must now ask for a very humble favour..."""

And that's when a juicy little comment rang to her ears. A questionable package? Oh my, that's sure an entertaining thought. With a little push of a button a round wall lowered down over the console and seating arrangements for the two of them. Jessibelle had actually planned this seating arrangements, this was a private chamber for important conversations. ""Ssorry about your companionss, dear, but this iss a private matter. Issn't it?""<br/><br/>When the question of a request fell upon her. ""Of coursse, we've no qualmss with hauling any cargo of yourss. Tell my crew itss location and weight, we'll load it onboard."" To be honest, Jessibelle was growing tired of her lordly act right now. Taking up her normal and rather casual tone in the now private room. To be honest, even for someone as clever as her, it is difficult to hold a fake accent for so long. ""We really don't mind illegal trade here, we're not the leading governing body. Sso hauling illegal or questionable materiel issn't a problem."""

Carmen was not perfect at hiding her mindset, though it quickly became clear that Jessibelle was acting in her best interests. Outside of the chamber, her six-limbed construct continued to wait, watching in no particular direction.as it rested upon its giant claw.<br/>""As private as I can make it,"" she nodded, retaining calmness in her voice if not her eyes. ""It should be no problem should I need to disclose anything more; I am seeking refuge after all, not enemies.""<br/><br/>Again the queen took uncannily well to her request - and somewhat caught Carmen off-guard with her sudden informality. Putting two and two together, the guest easily deduced the former was how she was expected to speak in public, thus it appeared the chamber was not only for her own benefit.<br/>""And you are not asking for anything in return?"" was her only query, now crossing her arms where she sat. Jessibelle had already expressed her generous ethics, but Carmen could never be too sure."

""Oh not in the sslightesst. I only exxpect honessty when I help people. That'ss not too much to assk for iss it?"" The empress leaned slightly left and pressed a button on her console, the sound of a microphone chimed up. ""Yess, there iss a package that needss pickup nearby, likely within the ccity. Carmen here will inform you of the location."" She released the button and leaned her head towards it, hinting that Carmen should press it.

If she was expected to entrust her life's work with strangers, naturally she would have the necessity to watch over them.<br/>""The luggage in question is about three meters wide, three tons in weight. Its location is hidden, but within reach. This model can lead your men to it.""

Jessibelle ordered her men and women to go out and follow Carmen's little tracker creature and find what is known as the Augmenter. They brought it into Jessibelle's private quarters to maintain absolute safe keeping. Once that was said and done, and everyone had ensured that they were loaded onto the ship, they began launch procedures. Within the hour Jessibelle, Carmen, and everyone else on board her armada was launched into space. One by one every ship followed the Silver Maiden vertically, they had made sure the ships would have more than enough fuel and resources for their travels. So much so, that they could survive solely in space for at least a generation. Though that wasn't their intention, the Ahs Chini were going to be heading somewhere else to gather more resources for her people.<br/><br/>Totally legitimate.<br/><br/>In orbit over the planet they looked down at the location they were just in. Noticing the absolutely abhorrent conditions of the world itself. It was effectively a wasteland, spotted with supercities. The empress shuddered a bit, noting that she would have to take a long soak later. At her core she was a terrible person, hell, if one were able to look closely enough at the planet's surface they would notice a high powered explosion going off where they had taken refuge. Mortimer, in another room, had just pressed the detonation switch on the terraforming device they had left behind. It had never been a terraforming device in the first place, it was always an explosive.<br/><br/>Now, Jessibelle and Carmen were still talking casually inside of the room. They had reached a point where Jessibelle was asking about star maps. ""Sso, Carmen, you ssaid that you came to this planet from where, exactly? I'm curiouss ass to whether or not you would happen to have a log of locationss that are noteworthy throughout the universse. Hm?"""

As the ship neared the outer atmosphere, Carmen felt the return of her sixth sense, gradually re-establishing connections with her constructs' minds. With all but a commanding thought, her rabbit-like companion hovered over beside the far window, remotely allowing Carmen to glimpse the world they were leaving behind.<br/>Having seen all there was to see on Mystique's surface, her disdain of its barren wastes could not be elevated any higher. The planet was useless to her, and likely impossible to salvage at that. The leaving present which Jessibelle appeared to have left behind perhaps suggested they had reached the same conclusion. with the erasure of her base, it could be expected that the fleet did not expect to return here... even if an explosion of that size appeared to be more than a little reckless. Though her face tried to hide it, Carmen knew something was off here; If the leader had appeared as nothing but polite and generous in her time meeting her... then, was this what was to happen to those she no longer affiliated with?<br/>While a concern, it was still an unlikely accusation, and one which likely would not affect her in her time aboard. Of all her talents, Carmen took the most pride in her avoidance of becoming a target; she fully expected this trip to run smoothly, but even if Jessibelle was to show a malicious side, she was confident in her ability to take advantage of it rather than becoming a victim.<br/><br/>As their idle conversation ensued, the Queen finally requested something from Carmen in return. Seeing past her phrasing, the guest assumed she wanted intelligence regarding other planets nearby. Recalling her earlier encounter, the other outsider Jessibelle had taken in had also visited from outer space, thus Carmen expected that he was also to be queried in a similar fashion. Still, providing such information was of little inconvenience; without revealing anything more about herself, information was the most she could afford to offer, and anything to lessen her debt was sure to help in the long run.<br/>Carmen withdrew a rectangular device from her inner coat pocket, about the size and width of a modern smart-phone, with a refined metal rim and back plate. This device was her personal memo, for storing things which her vast memory cannot portray quite as effectively. A star map was amongst its standard features, comparable to a modern-day GPS application. Shown on-screen, The device logged a great number of surrounding stars. Four of them were marked as solar systems which Carmen had visited, and within them were about a dozen orbits, with notable planets and asteroids marked in their simulated positions.<br/><br/>""I didn't get the name of the last planet I had travelled to,"" said Carmen, who appeared far more relaxed with her situation than she had a few hours ago. A gentle finger pointed above one of the larger-rendered planets, exhibiting two well-defined and radically-different continents. ""Terribly cold weather,"" she added, turning the device towards the spider-lady. ""Sparsely populated, at least where I landed... My last escort and I could not stay for long.""<br/>She raised the device a little and looked up, gesturing for Jessibelle to borrow it from her. Carmen did this with confidence, knowing its more-sensitive data had already been obscured. No visiting or departure dates were recorded on the system itself, and several less-remarkable planets had been omitted, thus preventing anyone from discerning her path or origin."

Shenestra for her part is using IR, Magnetic wave imaging, and thermal to name a few.<br/><br/>As for defenses all her gears functions are controlled primarily by a slaved spirit which is pretty much also capable of hacking or building firewalls and is the primary defense against such hostile take over. Which it does seamlessly freeing up Shenestra mind to do other things, like stabbing. But allot of her gear is surgically grafted into her secondary neural network, allowing mental interface, which is a second level of defense in of itself.<br/><br/>I imagine it would devolve into some giant unseen war of fire walls, viruses, worms, and subterfuge. But again, I'm not sure how your 'takeover' works, but I imagine u using the medium of his soul for it, so it stands to reason another spirit can block it."

Unfortunately, my character is pretty much immune to viruses worms and subterfuge, as I stated his mind and his Soul Crystal are magical in nature, not technological.

Angel chirped, suddenly materializing behind the blonde and gracefully plucked the Spaghetti-O can from his grasp, holding it up in the light so he could read the label. "" Another can of this? This can't be good for you, surely. How about some healthy food sometime?"" He smiled and placed the can on the counter, "" Anyway, I have to talk to you about something. I've already collected Rodrigo downstairs, so please follow me."" <br/><br/>Once downstairs in the backroom of the drugshop, Angel opened the door and was greeted by Seraphim and Rodrigo, who were talking about something. When he cleared his throat, they both stopped and turned their attention to him. "" Please sit Ethan, this can get quite long..."" He walked to the front of the table and placed a stack of papers on it and then signaled Seraphim to turn off the light. There was a beat of silence until the overhead projector rumbled to life and projected an image onto the adjacent blank wall. It was an image of a three tier trophy, encrusted with diamond shaped hearts and statues of angels raising their arms high into the sky. It was rather beautiful and Rodrigo couldn't help but think that they were going to be ordered to steal it, which would be terrible because it looked expensive and something like that was most likely in a museum. A heavily guarded museum.<br/><br/>"" This is called an UwaPri trophy,"" he used a laser pointer to circle around it, "" It's very valuable and holds many different powers, depending on who owns it. It can unlock hidden powers deep within one's soul and has been used many times in the past to decide the winners of wars. Sadly, the last one to possess it mistreated it and it was lost to the world."" He picked up two sheets of paper from the stack and slid them towards Ethan and Rodrigo, "" But, it has been found, after all this time, and I need you to bring it to me.""<br/><br/>Rodrigo looked down at the piece of paper and was confused, "" Okay, but this is a flyer for a singing contest. What does that have to do with anything?""<br/><br/>Angel sighed deeply and the projector switched to the next slide. "" Those who found it have no idea what power it holds and are using it as a regular trophy, a reward for winning that singing contest. I need you and Ethan to infiltrate the school and win that trophy.""</center>"

As his boss pried the can of spaghetti-o's from his grasp he tried his best not to look disappointed and merely smiled at him. ""Yes...""he agreed as his eyes followed the can, before looking back to Angel once he requested him to follow. <br/><br/>""Oh!""he exclaimed, now understanding why he took away his food. ""Alright.""<br/><br/>Ethan took a seat next to Rodrigo once he got downstairs, and he listened intently to the presentation. Once he heard their job, however, Ethan had a terrified expression on his face.<br/><br/>""We...we have to w-win a singing contest?"" he stammered, nervously setting down the flyer. The large amount of sparkles, stars, hearts, and flamboyantly dressed reigning champions in the picture used was giving Ethan a bad feeling. He sighed and looked back to the projected image of the UwaPri trophy. ""Oh man, this contest looks like its for pop idols. I'm going to die of embarrassment, are you sure we can't just steal it?""he begged Angel, though he knew in his heart that Angel would have given them different orders if there was a better way.<br/></center>"
2760,☆☆ Not This Again,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18068-not-this-again,"['1x1', 'Slice of Life', 'Sci-Fi']",2014-03-12 04:27:00,Midorimacchi,"<center>"" Stealing it would cause too much commotion."" Angel replied smoothly, "" And you're right, this is an idol contest. Not only do you have to sing, but you need to dance and sell yourself like an idol. But don't worry, I will assist you with that."" He offered, which was the only comfort he could give Ethan. Turning back to the projector, he switched to the next slide that had the six members of LEGENDS standing happily together. "" These are the reigning champions. They are called LEGENDS and they've been winning the UwaPri award for the past three years straight. The leader of the group is namedBelizano Faize Black, who goes by his stage name Fai."" On the projector, it showed Fai standing in the center, striking a fabulous pose. Beside him were all of his stats, such as his age, height, weight, and vocal ranges. Inwardly, Angel cringed because this was the famous ancestor of his precious King Belzeneff and when he was regarded as a mighty warrior on Wiz, he pranced around in ridiculous clothing with his band in this world. He was just glad that the only information he had of this world was on LEGENDS and he didn't have to see whatever monstrosities Belzeneff and Bellerophon had become.<br/><br/>"" There will be six groups participating in the UwaPri contest, and it will be your jobs to join the groups. The chance of one of you winning will be greater if you each join a different team, but your goal is still ultimately the same; To win the trophy. At the end of each day, report to me with your 'daily report'."" Seraphim placed down two watches on the table, one red and blue. "" These watches will allow us to speak with each other, and you two can also communicate with each other with them. Now,"" He shut the projector off and pulled two vials of pink liquid out of his shirt pocket, "" These will help you sing. Just take a sip each time you have to perform and it will make you be able to sing like a professional. The effects only last an hour, but that should give you enough time for the performance."" <br/><br/>Rodrigo took the vial offered to him and looked it over cautiously, "" But what about the dancing? You said that we would have to dance!""<br/><br/>Angel laughed, "" That, I cannot help you on, but maybe one of your new teammates would be so grateful as to help you out?""</center>"
2761,☆☆ Not This Again,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18068-not-this-again,"['1x1', 'Slice of Life', 'Sci-Fi']",2014-03-12 05:41:00,Azalea,"<center><br/>Ethan groaned and muttered under his breath, ""Well at least we aren't being sent to the shadow realm again."" However, he felt relieved at Angel's reassurance that he would help them. <br/><br/>Gazing at the slides of LEGENDS brought back his earlier pain because the group personified everything he wanted to avoid in this mission. He suddenly felt extremely grateful that he could take on other's personalities because he really did not think he would be able to be an ideal idol on his own. The only problem was actually finding the right person to steal from.<br/><br/>Listening to Angel's instructions, Ethan warily grabbed the vial and watch, wondering if their modified vocals would be enough to make a group want to recruit them. ""Would we even be recruited by anyone if we cannot dance?""he asked with a frown, then glanced at the liquid and thought for a moment. ""Well...I suppose the vocals would be more important since dancing can just be taught...how many times can we drink this, is there a limit? Do we have to wait a certain amount of time after the hour is done before taking another sip?""he questioned.<br/></center>"

But do keep in mind, these vials are the only two I have, so leave enough for the final performance."" Angel frowned, looking over to Rodrigo, wondering why he wasn't asking any good questions like Ethan was. It was true that he could just make more of the vocal serum and give it to them if it ever wore out, but taking too much of it could have...unfortunate consequences. Which was why the vials were so small; so they couldn't overdose. Of course, he wasn't going to tell Ethan and Rodrigo that, or else they would never agree to this, so he kept it to himself. Instead, he stood up and Seraphim flicked the lights back on, "" There are a few more things that I have to tell you. This school that you're going to, it's going to be in a different dimension then our own.""<br/><br/>Rodrigo took a sharp breath and jumped up from his seat, "" What the hell! I've had it with interdimension bullshit! It's bad enough that I still have nightmares from that stupid cat amusement park all those years ago, but now you're sending us to a new one?!"" He wouldn't dare punch Angel, for a number of reasons, but he felt really damn close to doing it.<br/><br/>Angel kept his cool expression as he replied, "" Normally I would stay away from interdimension travel, but I need this trophy Rodrigo. There is no other way than this."" Collecting the UwaPri trophy could be the one thing to save Wiz from it's current state of affairs and he would much rather be there than standing in a different world, arguing with a simple boy. But his King and Bellerophon needed him, and he had to go through with this.<br/><br/>Rodrigo fell silent and Angel continued after a beat, "" Like I was saying, it's going to be different, but not much. There could be a chance that you will encounter people that you have already met before, but the only thing that will be the same is their face."" He thought back to Valerio Mancini and how it was very possible that he lived in this alternate reality. "" I cannot guarantee it, but you might meet...another version of myself."" He choked out, ashamed. "" WHATEVER you do, do not trust him and do not mention the possibilities of other worlds to these people. The last thing we need is one of them escaping and causing havoc in the universe."" His mind flashed to parallel! Belzeneff escaping and going to Wiz and how confused everyone would be. He was taking a big chance by opening the gate to that world...but he had to take it.</center>"

Though, the mention of alternate versions of people he knew intrigued him and he wondered if it was possible to actually see a different Angel because if they were going to see him, it would probably be at the school he was sending him to. The thought of a pop idol Angel was amusing and would almost be worth getting dragged into this UwaPri Trophy mess. <br/><br/>""So...Will this dimension be...strange?""he asked hesitantly, unsure of how to phrase his question. ""Oh...but our dimension is probably the strange one, huh? With magic and strange cats and our powers...and I think I remember a talking bird with a gun once, getting mad at us for eating eggs for breakfast...er never mind...will that dimension be normal, especially since we aren't supposed to mention the different worlds? Or is it like here, where most people don't know about that supernatural magical stuff?""<br/></center>"

From what little I've seen, their world resemble ours and the only difference are the people occupying that world. But still...it would be best for you to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. Make sure to tell me anything you think is suspicious during your daily reports. It's important for me to keep data about different worlds, for future reference of course."" If this alternate universe had an alternate Valente, would it be possible for him to take him out of that world and bring him back to Wiz, posing him as the real Valente? It probably wouldn't work and only confuse everyone, but if there was no other options, he wanted to leave that one open.<br/><br/>"" Ethan, since you don't have a last name, I applied you both under the sir name 'Smith' and you will be posing as brothers. If questioned about your past, you and Rodrigo are fraternal twins who have moved to town because of AOA's music course. They have dormitories for the school so you will be staying there. You most likely will not get a room together, since you are transferring so late, but thanks to the watches, you will still be able to communicate. As for your parents, say that they are from another country and call you everynight because they're oddly protective. That is when you will be speaking with me."" He brought out the watch and showed them the different buttons around the edge, "" If you press this button here, it will change your words into a different language. To you and me you will be speaking English, but to anyone who might overhear your conversations, it will just sound like an unrecognizable dialect. If asked about your origins, say some European country that is less popular, like Liechtenstein or Kosovo. The other buttons will allow a holographic version of myself to appear, incase you need me to see anything, but it will only last a minute or two. Also, the red button is to talk to me, and the blue is to talk to each other."" He reviewed strapping his own watch back on his wrist. <br/><br/>""Seraphim has already packed your bags and brought them down,"" He gestured to two black suitcases, which made Rodrigo loudly exclaim ""WHEN THE HELL DID THEY GET THERE?!?"" Again, he was ignored and Angel pulled two wallets out. "" These have the current currency, your passports, identification cards, and a picture of your loving parents."" He smiled and handed the wallets to them. Rodrigo immediately opened his and busted out laughing, doubling over with tears in his eyes, "" Oh my God, is that you?"" In the wallet picture holder was a standard family pose, with a photoshopped(or magically altered?) Ethan and Rodrigo standing infront of a very impressive older looking Angel as their father and a very convincing genderbend of Seraphim as the mother. It actually looked really good, if you didn't know their true identities, which was why Rodrigo was dying seven deaths from laughter right now. Angel though, took this in stride and fabulously flipped his hair, "" I don't know what you're talking about. I look great."" He sniffed. <br/><br/>"" I must admit that I look great as well,"" Seraphim deadpanned from the back of the room, his face completely blank. "" Wouldn't you agree, son?"" This only made Rodrigo laugh harder until he almost slipped off his chair.</center>"

Yeah, people will absolutely believe we're from some foreign country.<br/><br/>He had never heard of those countries though so Ethan kept his comments to himself, for all he knew, Smith could be a legitimately common name in those European foreign countries.<br/><br/>By the end of Angel's instructions, Ethan felt incredibly fascinated by his new high tech watch.

His first priority was now to talk into the watch to Rodrigo when they got to school with some sort of cool code name-<br/><br/>""WHEN THE HELL DID THEY GET THERE?!""<br/><br/>Snapped out of his fantasies by Rodrigo's sudden shouting, he glanced to the suitcases and wondered if Seraphim packed any snacks. He never did get to eat breakfast...<br/><br/>""Thank you.""he replied as Angel suddenly handed them wallets. Rodrigo then burst out laughing out of nowhere, and since Ethan had not looked inside his wallet or able to hear what Rodrigo was losing his sanity over, he felt completely lost. ""Look great? Is it a picture of you two?""he asked, opening his own wallet to see what he had been looking at. He stared at the photo for a good solid minute before shutting it and looking at Rodrigo with amusement.<br/><br/>""Yeah, Rodrigo, they do look fabulous. We better not show the picture to any philanderers otherwise people might want to hit on Seraphim.""<br/></center>"

Angel paused to clear his throat before continuing, speaking over Rodrigo's dying laughter, "" Moving on, the gateway into this parallel universe will be open soon, so get ready to leave."" He ushered both boys out of their chairs and herded them over to a white door that Rodrigo swore wasn't there before. There were many doors in Angel's shops that lead to different places, but they only ever opened for Angel himself and if Ethan or Rodrigo tried, they would just end up with a dingy storage closet. There was one particular door in Angel's room that they had specific instructions never to open, under any circumstance, and Rodrigo had always been curious as to where it lead to but never had the chance to find out. This door though, didn't look like anything special. Infact, it looked really beaten down and the wood was chipping off. Angel placed his hand in the center and placed to fingers to his forehead with the other, and began to recite a spell. Meanwhile, Seraphim handed Ethan and Rodrigo their suitcases and gave them a friendly pat on the shoulder, his way of saying goodbye.<br/><br/>Angel completed his spell and the door suddenly sparkled and Rodrigo could faintly hear a catchy tune playing in the background. When Angel opened the door, the other side was completely black but the music got louder. "" If you step through here, you'll be teleported to the Academy's doorstep. The headmaster has been alerted of your arrival, so he should be waiting."" He gave Ethan and Rodrigo his own parting smile and held the door open for them, "" Remember, let me know if you run into trouble and update me daily on your progress. Your goal is to capture the trophy, but don't forget to be yourself and have fun."" <br/><br/>Seraphim suddenly appeared again and shoved a piece of toast in each of their mouths, "" You should get going, or else you'll be late for your first day of school,"" He said flatly and shoved them into the darkness. As soon as they were completely on the other side, Angel shut the door and the sparkles abruptly died, leaving the old rotting in it's place. He turned to Seraphim and shook his head, "" I hope they succeed..."" He trailed off. The fate of his homeworld rested on their shoulders and they had no clue.<br/><br/>~summary~<br/>They are surrounded by S P A R K L E S and glitter and they land infront of the school's gates. Their appearances have changed so they can pass off as high schoolers.</center>"

The blinding light faded, all he could see was sparkles, sparkles everywhere. Did his clothes just suddenly change? Is that music? <br/><br/>Why so much sparkles? That was the more important question he had.<br/><br/>Thankfully, the light vanished and Ethan found himself in front of his new school's gate. He thought that they looked like the beautiful gates you would see before entering Heaven, although, he was convinced that this idol job had potential to be his own personal Hell if he screwed up. Ethan set down his suitcase for a moment to rest his arms.<br/><br/>Taking the toast out of his mouth, he turned to Rodrigo with a dazed expression. <br/><br/>""That...that was really weird and I don't want to know why our clothes magically changed. I kind of feel dizzy right now, actually. Hey, you look...different? Not too different, but...it's like...you look younger? Like...when we first met! Yeah, that's it.

All the sparkles had been too much to handle and made his head spin, he didn't even notice that they had changed clothes until Ethan pointed it out. "" What the shit, you're right."" He inspected the sleeve of his new clothes closely and frowned. He hated the color grey and from the looks of it, these were their new uniforms. "" These are probably our uniforms,"" He repeated outloud and turned to Ethan, just now noticing the change to his features too, "" Yeah, you look younger too! Oh man, I bet this is Angel's doing, damn him!"" He cursed. He had already been through puberty once, thank you, and it was a blessing that he didn't remember any of it. The last thing he wanted to do was to go through it again!<br/><br/>"" This looks like a place where rich kids go,"" Rodrigo snuffed, suddenly defensive about this whole thing. Their mission was to win the UwaPri contest, and that was what he was going to do. He wasn't here to make friends, he was here to win! (Rodrigo is America's Next Top Model) <br/><br/>He grabbed his suitcase and followed Ethan to the school's doors. Cherry blossoms lined the path from the gates to the front doors, making Rodrigo wonder what season they were currently in if cherry blossoms had bloomed already, but Angel did say this this universe was different from theirs, so for all he knew, cherry blossoms bloomed all year.<br/><br/>As they approached the front doors, a white haired man pushed one open and greeted them with a warm smile. "" Hello! You must be our new transfer students! You speak English, yes?"" Rodrigo nodded and the stranger held the door for them so that they could walk through with their suitcases.

It's bad enough we have to sing and dance on a stage, I don't want to get too much attention in class too.""he sighed, before taking another look at the building.<br/><br/>""Rich kids, huh? Yeah, it kinda does feel like that, doesn't it?""he replied wit a curious tone as he glanced ; Ethan still felt excited despite Rodrigo's annoyance with the place. The building felt familiar, really, but he had no idea why a ""rich people place"" would make him feel this way. He started to wonder if he ever attended a high school before he lost his memory, gazing at the cherry blossoms and wondering if they were in this alternate dimension's version of Japan. He could have sworn they were supposed to be in America though, were they even in America? Well, he supposed they could have just planted some trees.<br/><br/>When they reached the front doors, a man with snow white hair appeared and for a split second he thought it was Angel until he realized it wasn't. ""Oh, yes thank you headmaster.""he replied politely as he was shook out of his thoughts.<br/><br/>He silently followed Byakko, and before he knew it, they were in front of what he assumed was either his or Rodrigo's new dorm room.<br/><br/>~~ BELLEROPHON ~~<br/><br/>He could hear the running footsteps and yells of his classmates, as well as the yelling of Mr. Vargas, and the thuds of dodge balls hitting everything in sight. <br/><br/>After getting himself purposely hit with a dodgeball, he was the first student out, and Bellerophon was now relaxing in the back corner of the gym while the game progressed without him. Sweat slid down his face as a blanket was draped around his body with only enough of his face unveiled for him to read the manga in his hands. <br/><br/>""Hey, King!""<br/><br/>Bellerophon continued staring at the page, not looking at the owner of the feminine voice as he replied in a bored tone, ""Yes, Valentia?""<br/><br/>""Why are you wearing that blanket on your head like a turban? And it's hot in here! How can you stand it?""he heard her complain, but he didn't expect for her to reach forward and pry the blanket away from him.<br/><br/>He nearly dropped the book in surprise. Bellerophon frowned as he looked up at his classmate, giving her an irritated look as she stared at him with triumph, holding the blanket as if it were a trophy. He opened his mouth to speak, but she interrupted and spoke first.<br/><br/>""Oh don't tell me this is because of your manga, again! You're reading a story with characters wearing turbans, aren't you?""she asked with obvious disapproval.<br/><br/>Bellerophon's eyes lit up at the chance to speak about his manga. ""Yes, it has characters living in the desert and they wear turbans. There is magic as well! I decided I needed to get into the spirit of the story by weari-""<br/><br/>""But it's gym class and incredibly hot in here, King! You always do this, why didn't you pick one of your sports animes to cosplay in gym glass? Look at you, you're sweating like a sinner in church and you haven't even done anything. The kids actually participating in the game are sweating less than you.""she scolded, using the blanket to wipe away the sweat from his forehead. Bellerophon rolled his eyes.<br/><br/>""Yes, mother.""he scoffed.<br/><br/>He wouldn't call her a friend, but Valentia was still a nice acquaintance who tried talking to him sometimes during class even if she did tend to fuss over him as if she were his mother. She continued her lecture, but by now Bellerophon was tuning her out. Now that his pleasant manga was interrupted, he let himself think about what the Headmaster told him.<br/><br/>~ I'm getting a new roommate, today. I wonder if he'll mind all of my anime posters, figures, manga, and box collections that I decorated the room with? ~<br/></center>"

Byakko said solemnly, taking out his MASTER KEY and opening the door. "" Rodrigo, you'll be staying with Bellerophon King. He's a grade lower than you, but he's very nice and respectful! I'm sure that you two will get along great,"" His words were encouraging, but as the door opened wider, Rodrigo was struck with sudden fear.<br/><br/>Anime.<br/><br/>Anime everywhere.<br/><br/>On the walls. On the desk. In the bookcase.<br/><br/><i>Everywhere.</i><br/><br/><i>My roommate is a weaboo,</i> was the first thought Rodrigo had and he turned to Byakko, hoping that this was just a joke that the headmaster was playing on him, like this was some kind of hazing ritual and after everyone had their laugh, he would be shown to his real room. But Byakko just looked at him expectantly, the same stupid smile on his face, "" Aren't you going to settle in? I'll show Ethan to his room, which is just down the hall. Our dorms aren't separated by grade level, so everyone has equal rooming opportunities. I only ask that your light to be turned off at 10pm on weeknights, and atleast 3am on weekends. I also ask that the boys stay out of the girl's dorms, which are in the building next door, unless there is a teacher present. I do not condone male students spending the night in a female's dorm room, and if caught, you will both suffer the consequences; maybe even expulsion. So please, refrain from that. Now, Ethan, please follow me, your room is down the hall.""<br/><br/>Rodrigo was still in shock by the time Ethan and Byakko left, his eyes glued on all the anime. There were posters and figurines everywhere, not to mention that the closet was full of clothes, probably costumes from the shows! Slowly, Rodrigo entered and began to unpack, his movement slow and sluggish. He didn't have much experience with...an anime lover, but if they were all like how they were shown on tv, then there was a very high chance that his roommates as an overweight, unhygienic loser who owned body pillows of anime girls in seductive poses.<br/><br/>He couldn't help but wonder if Ethan's roommate was any better.<br/><br/><b>BYAKKO</b><br/>"" Annnnnd this is your room."" He said as he opened lucky door number two, and held it open for Ethan to see. "" Your roommate is a freshman named Belzeneff Rose. I must say its a strange coincidence, but we have quite a few students here whose names begin with 'Bel'. It's very strange. Maybe there was a trend going on? Anyway, he too is very nice and I don't think there will be any problems here. Please unpack and I'll send one of the teachers who are off duty right now to show you around. If you or your brother have any problems, my office is in the main building and I'm free any time."" He gave a parting smile before closing the door.<br/><br/><b>To: Vencentio</b><br/>Subject -&gt; New Students<br/><br/><i>Our new students have arrived.

One row looked like it was dedicated exclusively to figures created out of gold material and he wondered if that was real gold. So far this Bellerophon King fellow seemed like a rich kid who spent all of his allowance on merchandise.<br/><br/>Ethan patted Rodrigo on the back, whispering ""good luck"" into his ear before leaving with Byakko.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>""Yeah, I've never really heard of these Bel names.""he replied casually to the headmaster, stepping inside the room to get a better look. There was nothing on the walls or any type of decoration that he could see from just a quick glance. It felt...empty, and plain, almost the exact opposite of Rodrigo's room so he had no idea what to expect from his roommate. Did someone even really live here?<br/><br/>""Alright, thank you sir.""he replied politely before the door closed behind him. He opened his suitcase and began to toss his clothes onto his bed, planning on organizing his stuff after removing everything from the suitcase. Ethan honestly had no idea how to proper unpack and he hoped that his roommate wouldn't mind the temporary mess he made.<br/><br/>Ten minutes later, still unsuccessful in his packing, he heard a knock on the door. He nearly tripped over one of his socks that had fallen onto the floor but he managed to walk across the room without hurting himself. When he opened the door, he met eyes with a man with a stare that made him want to crawl into his bed; this man looked like some sort of mafia member.<br/><br/>""Hello, you must be Ethan Smith. I'm Mr. Russello.""he introduced with a friendly smile, making Ethan feel ashamed for thinking he looked scary, ""I'll be showing you and your brother around the school, if you're ready of course.""<br/><br/>~~ VENCENTIO ~~<br/><br/>""You and your brother are juniors, right? I'm the history teacher for both juniors and seniors, so we'll see each other a lot during this school year. History is very interesting and I try to make my students feel that way as well. Humans have always done cruel things to one another, you know? War is just one example.""he explained, another one of his passionate lectures of history beginning as he led his future student towards Rodrigo's dorm room. <br/><br/>""But, the media is just as important in war as weapons. Most conflicts are fought on at least two grounds: the battlefield and the people, via propaganda. Media has influenced the most recent wars in this country, such as the Committee on Public Information using films, cartoons, and speeches to strengthen American involvement for World War 1. The media was again used to gather support from American citizens in World War 2 by presenting Adolf Hitler as a threat to peace, and for Vietnam, the opposite occurred when negative coverage on television changed public opinion and created anti-war movements! Why, Vietnam war veterans were stereotyped after the war and called names such as ""baby killers"" as a result of what was being shown on television!""<br/><br/>""O-oh...""he heard Ethan mutter, but Vencentio merely smiled.<br/><br/>""I've gone on another tirade, excuse me. You'll probably hear more of my lectures during class today. Ah, here we are.""he said, knocking on Rodrigo's door.<br/><br/></center>"

After unpacking all of his clothes--which weren't even his favorite outfits thank you very much Seraphim-- he couldn't help but he curious about his new roommate, so he decided to investigate. There were so many figurines that he didn't know where to start, but there was a certain group of characters that caught his attention. "" Are those basketball players??"" He questioned, observing a figurine of a blue haired boy wearing a jersey. It read ""Kukoro no Basuke"" and Rodrigo didn't know what that meant in English, but it probably had something to do with basketball. Next to him was a pink haired girl with a super puffy skirt and Rodrigo was reminded of Sailor Foon, one of the only anime shows he watched while growing up. The girl's name was Swagdoka, which was weird, but Rodrigo carried on down the line of figurines. There was one called Ravioli, who was taller than anyone else on the shelf; Tawaki Souh, a blonde haired prettyboy who had an obsession with roses; Haruca who was bundled up in so much clothing that the only piece of skin showing was his face; Inuwasha, who was a half dog/ half human dude and after that Rodrigo gave up, deciding that he no longer cared. The anime world was just too strange for him and he went back to his own side, just in time for there to be a knock at his door.<br/><br/>He expected to Ethan to be at the door but was surprised when there was an older guy there with him. "" Who're you?"" He questioned, looking over the guy's punk-rock attire and automatically dismissed him for being a teacher.</center>"

I know I don't look like it, but I'm a history teach here at AOA, and I teach both juniors and seniors, so I'll be teaching you this semester"" His teacher basically repeated his introduction from earlier, and Ethan wondered if Mr. Russello was going to give more history lessons throughout their tour. ""History is important-"" Ah, there it is, Ethan thought, The unprompted history fun facts. ""-after all, the past is full of both knowledge and mystery. Why, even the ground we stand on can be an untold stories. People could be standing on a graveyard or battefield and not even know it! This very school could be built upon the deaths of people, their blood nourishing the plants that grow here. After all, there is an old legends that cherry blossoms used to have white petals, until blood from slain corpses seeped into the ground and turned them pink. Anyways, if you're ready, let's begin the tour.""<br/>As they left the dorm, Mr. Russello thankfully stayed on subject and just spoke about the school. ""The building right next to your dorm is the girl dorm. Spending the night is not allowed, but there is no harm in simply spending time with your friends, although there is a recreational room where students may spend time together. Its right over there."" Ethan turned towards the building he was pointing to, and it turned out to be right across their dorm building.<br/><br/>He walked beside Rodrigo as the history teacher guided them into the building. ""This is also the cafeteria. Byakko made sure the food is excellent quality, so hopefully they will suit your tastes."" Ethan wondered if they had to pay for food, because if Angel had explained how they would get meals or even money in general, he forgot. ""Hey, Rodrigo, do you think it costs money to get something to eat?""he asked discreetly, not wanting to interrupt the teacher as they walked up a staircase.<br/><br/>Ethan felt surprised at the sight; there was a pool table, a huge screen tv on the wall and various game appliances, bean bag chairs, couches, and other stuff. ""This is a recreational room that is open to students after school and weekends. Students tend to come here to relax, relieve their boredom, or procrostinate on school work. Sometimes, parties get held here but I assure you that it is just fun dancing because alcohol is forbidden."" Mr. Russello started to laugh, and it sounded like one of those soft dark laughs a villain would have. ""There have been a few times students have tried to smuggle in alcohol, both here and in dorms, but they were punished accordingly. Also, sometimes, students have karaoke competitions and even non music course students like to participate. Why, there is a dance student who joined an idol group after discovering what a nice voice he had."" He definitely caught Ethan's interest at the mention of an idol and he quickly asked, ""Sir, who was he? And any student can be an idol and participate in the UwaPri contest even if they aren't in a music course?""<br/><br/>He saw the man smile at the both of them. ""Oh, of course, all students should be allowed to follow their dreams. Being in the music course is not the only road to becoming an idol and many of the other courses are related to becoming a successful idol. While the main focus seems to be vocals, it takes a lot more than going on stage and singing. There is dancing during performances, wearing an outfit that will both describe who you are as well as appeal to the audience, knowing how to speak eloquently and act appropriately in front of an audience, posing and modelling for cameras, and having artistic creativity when having props on stage or a music video. Although I would not be considered an 'idol', I was the lead singer of a band before I decided to teach here, and I needed all of those attributes to succeed. If you're interested in becoming an idol, I would be glad to give you two advice, as well as many other teachers here. Your music teachers, Mr. Shirahane and Mr. Shi- Madore, sorry, are both former idols who won the UwaPri contest.""<br/><br/>""Wow...er yeah, help would be nice. I would be grateful actually, we're both extremely interested in becoming idols and entering the contest with a group"", Ethan forced himself to say ""The only group we know about is the previous winner, LEGENDS, but not much about the others"". He felt bewildered by all of the information he just received and felt like their chances of getting the trophy were even slimmer now. Angel knew what he was talking about when he said singing was not enough and something else about dancing and selling themselves as idols. He made a mental note to thank him a thousand times for the vial that would perfect their singing, but then decided not to, since he remembered that it was Angel's fault that he had to become a pop idol in the first place. <br/><br/>""Let's go see another building now, I'll tell you more about what I know about the idol groups since you want to enter.""<br/><br/>""The student you asked about earlier is another junior like yourselves; Jecht Rutella. He's a part of Captivating Captains along with some of your other classmates, Kieran and Fenrir. They're a nice group of boys, I'm sure they would love to have one or both of you join. ""<br/><br/>Ethan remembered what Angel showed them about LEGENDS and their fabulous attire would not leave his mind. Mr. Russello said that this second group was named Captivating Captains and the name of their group gave him the impression that they probably wore outfits just as fabulous as LEGENDS, if not more. He hoped that not all the groups had to be potentially embarrassing.<br/><br/>They reached the building next to the cafeteria and Ethan wasn't particularly interested in it; he would rather hear more about the idol groups some more. The first floor was boring administration things and the nurses office, the second floor was the library and computer lab, and the third floor was the faculty offices, headmaster's office, and teacher's lounge.<br/><br/>""So, this is where you may reach a teacher if you ever need one for whatever reason. Well, that is all for this building, I'll tell you about some more groups on our way to the gym.""<br/><br/>""There is an all girl group named sis★tar but I haven't had the pleasure of teaching any of them yet because they were formed only last year. They're the underdogs because they have the least experience of all the groups, but from what I heard last year they're incredibly talented. Glamour is another idol group you could probably join, although the only members I can remember right now are Trixxtal and Cepheus. They're both excellent singers in the music course so you'll might meet them soon.""<br/><br/>When they got to the gym, Mr. Russello pointed to the door that led to the gym but curiously did not open the door. ""The gym teacher is Mr. Vargas...I would rather not disturb his class, but through this door is the basketball court."" Ethan thought that he sounded as if he just wanted to avoid this Mr. Vargas person and wondered what kind of man he was. Did he even have to attend gym class? He figured he would find out when they got their schedules and took a quick glance through the little window on the door, seeing some blond boy get hit in the face with a dodge ball.<br/><br/>Mr. Russello then showed them the way to the changing rooms, outdoor field, and the indoor pool. ""Mr. Rousseau is the swimming coach, so if you are interested in swimming just speak to him. There are many after school clubs you can join such as the swim team, basketball team, student council...there is a complete list of what you can join I will give you later, when I give you your schedule after the tour."" Ethan felt a strange, sudden interest in the basketball team but he had no idea why.<br/><br/>As the three of them exited the gym, Mr. Russello began sharing his information on the idols again. ""Sparkling Prince is nicknamed the ""generation of princes"" and in my opinion are composed of a unique set of students. None of them are enrolled in the music course for singing! For example, Valexander is a famous actor who is a part of theater course. Sparkling Princes won second last year, so they'll be challenging opponents besides LEGENDS. I heard their leader Belisario only invites students with special talents into the group and he can be a bit...cold,"" Ethan could have sworn he saw the teacher have a look of terror on his face for a second, ""So I suggest only joining that group if he comes to you first. If you want to join, of course. Ahaha, anyways, the last group is named Sweet Symphony.""<br/><br/>Once again Ethan saw a look flash in Mr. Russello's eyes except instead of horror this time it seemed like he was fond of this group. Maybe they're his favorite? he wondered, as he began to listen.<br/><br/>""They're still a pop group like the others, although their songs tend to have more a rock vibe. The current members are named Seiryuu, Belshazzar, Genbu, and Valis. They're pretty friendly, although I'm sure Seiryuu might need to warm up to you a bit, I think they're another group who would be glad to welcome another member. Genbu is a junior too, so he'll probably be the first one you'll meet.""<br/><br/>Ethan's first thought was that the Headmaster was right and there was a lot of students with Bel in their name. In fact all of their classmates seemed to have strange names and their own names, Ethan Smith and Rodrigo Smith, felt out of place because they sounded so...normal. Even the teacher's had strange names! That Kieran person was the only one with a name he recognized as normal and even then it seemed uncommon and the kid probably had a whack last name just to fit in with this alternate dimension's weird naming scheme.<br/><br/>He ran the groups in his mind one more time glancing at Rodrigo. ""So, the best ones we have a chance of joining are Captivating Captains and Sweet Symphony?""he half stated half asked.<br/><br/>Ethan entered the next building as he followed after Rodrigo and Mr. Russello, feeling slightly in awe at how big it seemed. There were three floors and each floor had four huge hallways. Mr. Russello explained that the first floor contained music, dance, and theater classes in the first three hallways while the fourth had a dance studio, black box, and practice rooms. The second floor contained the fashion, photography, and art classes in the first three hallways with the fourth having classrooms dedicated to electives such as speech and foreign languages and other classes that sounded boring to Ethan. Finally, the third floor held the academic classes such as math, history, science, and English.<br/><br/>""My classroom is over in this first hallway."" He heard him say, trying his best to remember everything but certain that he had already forgotten where most of the classes were. ""This is a lot of information to take in all at once, so just try to remember that your music classes will be in the first hallway of the first floor while your core subjects will all be on the third floor. Well, we are almost done with our tour! I have one last place to show you before I take you back to your dorms.""<br/><br/>""Alright, here we are! Next to the cafeteria and across the girls dorm is the Grand Stage.""<br/><br/>Ethan, pathetically feeling out of breath after having to walk so much and wondering how in the world their tour guide go talk so much without even seeming tired, sluggishly made his way into the last building.<br/><br/>""This is where all of the major performances are held. Throughout the year the theater students may hold a play you can visit, or a dance and music student may have a recital, and fashion students may hold a fashion show. This auditorium may also have assemblies you have to attend, but mostly, you'll be here for entertainment purposes. A lot of the functions are held during the school day, so if you want to treat yourself to a day off from class, attending is a fun way to do so. Lastly, this stage is also where the UwaPri contest is held at the end of the year. Any idol group has permission to use the stage for rehearsal as long as they acquire permission from a teacher, mostly due to scheduling purposes.""<br/><br/>Ethan sighed. He felt both dread and nervous just looking at the stage; how in the world was he going to be an idol? He looked towards Rodrigo, wondering if he felt the same way.<br/><br/>Finally, they were done with this tour and could stop walking. Now that they were back in front of the dorm building, Mr. Russello handed them some papers Ethan felt unmotivated to look at but he assumed that they were their schedules and the club list.<br/><br/>""Those are the main buildings, but there are various areas outdoors where students enjoy hanging out, I'm sure you'll see after school once everyone is out of class. Well, if you have no more questions, I'll let you two go back to your dorms and get ready for class. If you decide to head to class early, here are some permission slips to be outside until the current class period ends, which ends in about fifteen minutes. Well it was nice meeting you two and I'll see you later today in history.""<br/><br/>Ethan accepted the hall pass and muttered a tired but polite goodbye before he laid his head against Rodrigo's shoulder. ""Ugh...I'm tired, Rodrigo be my pillow for the next few minutes.""he mumbled. ""I already don't feel like going to class. Why did Angel have to send us to high school?""<br/></center>"

He crumpled up the schedule and stuffed it in his pocket, nudging his shoulder to wake Ethan up, "" C'mon, we might as well go back to our dorms and get ready...for class."" He felt weird just saying it.

Since he had football practice after school, the track coach let him train in the mornings during the girl's track team practice. With such a busy schedule, he had to decide which club to attend on certain days, but ultimately basketball and swimming had most of his attention, since he was the captain of both and would most likely loose his position if he missed too many days. But track was fun too, and he enjoyed running and feeling the wind on his face. Plus, the girls were nice too.<br/><br/>He came to a stop after passing the finish line and jogged over to the water bench for a cold bottle of water. In the distance, he heard the bell ring, signaling the end of first period, and he wondered what his precious Azure was doing right then. Maybe collecting his books to go to the next class? Stopping at the water fountain for a quick drink? If so, Valor hurriedly opened the bottle and gulped it down, excited that he and his beloved where sharing in the same experiences even when they were apart.<br/><br/>"" Valor! There you are!"" He heard from behind him and he stopped chugging down the water, turning to give a warm smile to the girl, the girl's track team captain, approaching him. "" It's good to see you at practice today! You've been missing out on the last few sessions."" Her tone was light and friendly, and wasn't judgmental at all.<br/><br/>"" Ah, yeah, my first period teacher kept getting mad at me for skipping all the time."" He laughed lightly as he grabbed his towel off the bench to wipe off the sweat. "" But my grades are back to normal now, so I can afford a few more absences.""<br/><br/>"" Oh! Well, that's good. I've missed seeing you around here..."" Suddenly realizing what she said, her face turned pink, "" U-um, not like that! I-I mean we've all missed you, the rest of the team...I mean."" She stuttered, Valor's sunny smile not faltering once.<br/><br/>"" Well I have to get to class now! Mr. Madore isn't so lenient on absences unfortunately."" He started to gather his sports bag off the bench but the Captain stopped him, "" Wait! I have something to ask you real quick!""<br/><br/>Valor continued to pack his things, but stayed in place, "" What is it?""<br/><br/>"" Uh, well, there is this concert happening this weekend, and I know you have a busy schedule and all, but if you have the time...would you like to go?"" She produced two tickets and held them out to him. Valor's eyes lit up and he excitedly took them, "" Oh wow! These are for me?! Are you sure?""<br/><br/>"" Yeah! We can-""<br/><br/>"" Oh wow, this is great! I was trying to find a reason to hang out with Azure this weekend, and this is perfect! There is no way he can turn down a free concert!"" His cheeks turned pink at the thought of Seiryuu actually enjoying spending time with him. "" This is amazing Emily, thank you so much! I owe you BIG time!"" He hugged her tightly, but pulled away seconds later, still too excited over the tickets and he carefully tucked them away in his bag. "" See you tomorrow! Thanks again!"" He waved as he ran off towards the academic building, leaving the track captain stunned in silence, wondering what had just happened.</center>"

Two classes in a row with Valor today, three if he counted lunch, what an absolute nuisance. <br/><br/>He took out his notebook and opened to an already used page. Seiryuu stared at the words deep in thought and paid no attention as students began filling the room, adding a few words while crossing out others. ~ Hm...perhaps Belshazzar will have a solo at this moment? Or maybe Vallis' voice would fit better...Perhaps some more guitar at this moment? Violin? Piano?...We can all do a dance move together, there...What about our outfits...he thought, scribbling diligently in his planner. ~<br/><br/>Maybe I should find a manager for our group? he contemplated as he continued to work out details for the next Sweet Symphony practice.<br/><br/>~~ ETHAN ~~<br/><br/>As the two of them exited the dormitory, now armed with their school supplies, the blond looked up at his friend. ""Wow, I can't wait for math!""he cheered sarcastically, walking with Rodrigo towards the academic building. A pair of students were walking in front of them now, and Ethan couldn't help but overhear their conversation, mostly because one of them was so loud. And he was wearing...a cape? And was that horns on his head? It looked like cosplay, what if that kid was Rodrigo's anime loving roommate?<br/><br/>""Hellhound Cepheus! You walk as if you head towards your demise, but fear not, for I have written the sacred scripture Mr. Rousseau left for us to decipher. You may have a glimpse of my dark arts notes and transfer them into your own library. Ahahaha, we shall transfer them later tonight at the feast, when the serpent shikigami brings his offerings of pizza!""the caped student preached, and the other student just reacted casually to his strange words.<br/><br/>""Wow dude, you'll really let me copy your math homework later? Thanks Lucifel, you're a life saver.""the other boy replied normally.<br/><br/>Ethan raised his brows and looked at Rodrigo with a dreadful expression, wondering if this was literally Hell that Angel had dropped them into. ""Are they our classmates?""he whispered, hoping that they were discussing a different math class. ""He said the name of our math teacher...""<br/></center>"

He had been late to school that morning and had failed to see Azure before school started, so second period would be the first time seeing him that day. He sprinted towards the main building, accidentally pushing past two students. "" Sorry!!"" He called back, unwilling to stop and apologize properly. Bu het had been so busy apologizing to those two that he didn't see the other pair just infront of them and physically crashed into one of them. "" Sorry! Sorry! I didn't see you!"" He jumped to his feet, helping the other guy up, who turned out to be Cepheus from the group Glamour. Beside him was Lucifel and Valor felt a cold shiver run down his spine. "" Like I said I'm sorry, really sorry! Please don't curse me!"" He didn't know if Lucifel participated in dark magic or not, but it honestly wouldn't surprise him if he did. Once making sure Cephues was okay, he apologized again and set off to class, hoping to still have some free time to talk to Azure before Mr.Madore started his lesson.<br/><br/>His class was on the first floor so Valor didn't have to worry about running up stairs to reach his class quickly. He swiftly opened the door to Mr.Madore's class, almost tripping over himself as he ran towards Azure's desk where he was writing in his notebook. What a great student! "" Go...Good morning! Azure..."" He panted, rubbing his face with his hands to wipe of the sweat. He then reached into his bag and took out the tickets that Emily had given him, showing them to Azure. "" Do you wanna go to a concert with me? It's this weekend! I mean, I don't know if you're busy or not, but if you are I can get us some new ones for another day. Maybe for a band you really like???"" He asked hopefully.<br/><br/><b>RODRIGO</b><br/>Rodrigo spotted the two strange guys infront of them around the same time Ethan did. And yep, yep, those were horns on his head. "" I fucking hate this school already."" Rodrigo said, looking at the cape. "" I really hope not,"" he answered Ethan, sharing the same fears that they were going to share a class together. Just then, a blonde guy bumped into him, muttering a half assed apology before moving on. "" Hey you fucking asshat, learn some fucking manners!"" Rodrigo yelled at him, but was ignored when the same rude blonde guy ran into the ""Hellhound Cepheus."" They started to talk about curses and other shit and Rodrigo felt like turning back and returning to their own Earth. "" I swear, everyone here is insane!""</center>"

""Huh???""he mumbled confused, dazed as he heard somebody apologize. The head of blond hair almost made him think it had been Trixxtal, but as he was helped up he saw that it was Valor Summers. ""Oh! It's okay, I'm alright.""he reassured, but Valor wasn't looking at him anymore, and was instead staring at Lucifel with fear in his eyes. Lucifel, noticing the blond's terror clear on his face, merely laughed darkly and crossed his arms.<br/><br/>""Ohohoho! You fear my powers, as you should, mortal. But worry not, you did not strike my companion purposely and have begged for forgiveness, so no curses shall haunt you for this incident.""<br/><br/>Cepheus just laughed it off, completely used to Lucifel by now, ""Yeah Valor, it's fine really.""<br/><br/>As Valor ran off after apologizing a few more times, Cepheus patted Lucifel on the back. ""You really do know how to scare off people, you know?""he chuckled, and Lucifel merely smirked as the two of them continued walking. ""Thank you, my brother! I am glad that the mortals recognize my fearsome abilities, ahahaha!!!""<br/><br/>~~ ETHAN ~~<br/><br/>""Are you alright, Rodrigo?""he asked grumpily after they were so rudely shoved away by some blond guy. Then again, maybe it was a blessing the guy did not stop to speak with them, because what if he was as crazy as the two in front of them were?! ""Is it too late to try and convince Angel to let us just steal the trophy?""he muttered under his breath. Oh, was Ethan going to give him a detailed report later today; it was the perfect chance to rant to their boss about this insane mission he had given to them.<br/><br/>To Ethan's horror, when they finally reached their math class, the two students walked inside the room. ""Oh no.""he groaned, checking their paper to see if they were really stuck with those two weirdos as classmates. ""Dammit.""he cursed, confirming that it was indeed the correct classroom.<br/><br/>~~ SEIRYUU ~~<br/><br/>Seiryuu shut his notebook, knowing that he would not be able to get anymore work done now that Valor had arrived. He sighed, wishing his friends had this class with him so he could talk to them instead, but excluding Belshazzar they were all in lower grades and he wouldn't see Belshazzar until PE.<br/><br/>""And I actually had an excellent start to my day this morning. Good morning.""he choked out the greeting coldly, then frowned at the panting blond. ""Valor, you look like you're about to die. Sit down before you pass out on my desk, not that I care or anything, but the last thing I need to deal with is you causing me trouble."" But Valor did not sit down, and instead showed him two tickets. ""What? Tickets?""<br/><br/>Seiryuu was curious, but didn't want to look curious in front of Valor, so tried to discreetly read what was on the tickets without looking directly at them. He didn't know anything about who was playing, nor did bands interest him, but the seats looked decent at least. How much money was spent on the tickets? Seiryuu was not rich and someone spending so much money to hear what was probably a boring band made no sense to him. The other blond certainly knew his weakness though; Seiryuu felt hesitant in turning down a free, normally expensive event. But not hesitant enough. ""Honestly, Valor, with all that creepy stalking you do of me, shouldn't you know that I don't like participating in pointless things.""he replied, feeling guilty that he sounded so rude to Valor all the time, but he reminded himself that Valor deserved it for being so persistently annoying. ""It sounds like a waste of time and money. Especially for a band I don't care about, so I'm going to have to decline.""<br/><br/>But like always Seiryuu did not have it in him to be completely mean to Valor, so he added, ""Sorry, Valor. And I may be in the music course and an idol group, but I'm not very interested in bands. However, I-""<br/><br/>The bell rang, interrupting what he had been about to say. ""Oh, never mind. We should focus on class.""he told him as Mr. Madore entered the room, greeting the students and shortly beginning the lesson.<br/></center>"

Hearing the one person he cherished the most decline his offer to spend time together hurt him, but he quickly recovered. There was no use in listening to a band that he didn't even like, right? They could just find some other activity to do together! He was eager to hear whatever Azure had to say next, but Mr.Madore came in and cut them off. "" Okay!"" He piped up, his smile coming back, "" We'll talk after class!"" Listening to Azure, Valor went to his seat, which was in the same row as Azure's horizontally, but two desks away, and slammed the two tickets down on the desk of Arik Mizuki, who had the misfortune of being seated between Valor and Azure. "" Here, you can have these."" Valor said. There was no use for him to have tickets to a band that Azure didn't like. Any band like that was not worth Valor's time, free tickets or not.<br/><br/>Mizuki brightened up and accepted the tickets, "" Aw thanks man, my chick loves this band! This'll totally make up for the fight we had this morning!""<br/><br/>""Uh huh,"" Valor commented, only half listening to his basketball teammate as he went into detail about his fight with his girlfriend, already in his 'Azure-stalking-zone' and was staring at him intently from over Mizuki's shoulder.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">RODRIGO</span><br/>There was a tiny sliver of hope in his heart that it was only these few students that they had encountered that were crazy instead of the entire school, but as they walked into their math class, Rodrigo knew that he had been shooting his hopes too high. The whole classroom was in disarray, people were sitting on desks, singing showtunes, playing musical instruments, there was even a kid full on painting at his desk, easel and all. Rodrigo was violently reminded of the show that was on T.V back home, Jlee or something, where all the students went around singing and expressing themselves through the power of song. He had thought that that stuff only happened in television shows, and yet, here it was. Angel really wasn't lying when he said this place was...different.<br/><br/>"" Ethan I want to leave."" Rodrigo said, watching the two strange students from before take their seats. Suddenly they didn't seem so strange anymore, in comparison to their other classmates.<br/><br/>An older man approached them, a prettyboy with brown flawless hair, and he greeted them. "" Hello! I'm your teacher, Protettore Rousseau! You two are the transfer students, correct? Your files say that you come from far away, you both speak English I hope?"" Rodrigo nodded and Protettore clapped his hands, "" Great! Ven texted me and said that he gave you guys the tour! This will be your math class, but I guarantee that it won't be like any that you've had before, ahaha. Please take your seats, any seats you want! Class will begin soon, so please get yourselves situated."" He left them to return to the front of his class, only to pull out his phone and begin texting someone.<br/><br/>Rodrigo felt really confused. Were all highschools like this? This laid back? He looked back to the class to try to find an empty seat, and the only two available were one by a meek blonde kid with his nose in his notebook, drawing some kind of cartoons -- sudden flashbacks to his anime filled room, Rodrigo shook them off -- and one by the kid from earlier, with the horns. "" Wow, we're spoiled for choice...."" He said sarcastically.</div></div>"

He laughed nervously. ""Thank you for taking one for the team, Rodrigo, you are the greatest brother in the world.""he thanked with a smile. He left Rodrigo's side and passed the desk by the crazy students from earlier, instead heading towards the kid with the notebook; who looked normal compared to everyone else, and took a seat next to him and another blond boy.<br/><br/>~~ HIBIRD ~~<br/><br/>Hibird sat atop of his desk, mindlessly knitting a jacket for the young master while monitoring the room. Hibird scowled, eyes narrowing as the scumbags from Glamour obnoxiously entered the room. It was bad enough that Jecht's unworthy boyfriend was shamelessly flirting with every girl in class, but now Trixxtal's lackeys had arrived. Heaven help him, Lucifel was once again mouthing off about hell and calling everybody foolish mortals while Cepheus unsurprisingly was copying the math homework like the dishonorable bastard he was. He had no idea how those faithless losers managed to get so many dates. He still had no why Jecht, his brother in all but blood, adored the blond heathen who Hibird had no doubt would eventually betray him.<br/><br/>Two new faces entered the room and Hibird set down his yarn, but kept the needles in his hands as he glared at the strangers. He would need to immediately conduct a background check on them in order to ensure that they were not assassins after the young master. Luckily, Kyoya did not have this class right now, so he could safely interrogate them without worrying for the young master. One sat in between him and that fool Minato who dared be assigned as Kyoya's roommate instead of him. At least this new student did not sit next to the Glamour members.<br/><br/>""Who are you? And who was that with you?""he demanded, and the blond looked startled at the sudden address.<br/><br/>""Oh, uh Ethan. Ethan Smith."" the new student answered, suddenly looking at Hibird warily. ""And that is my brother, Rodrigo.""<br/><br/>""Really now?"" Hibird asked, a hint of skepticism in his tone, looking towards the black haired boy who looked nothing like the blond in front of him, ""Well, Ethan, I have much I need to speak to you about. And you will answer my questions otherwise we will have *problems*.""<br/><br/>~~ SEIRYUU ~~<br/><br/>He really did feel guilty when he saw Valor's happy smile disappear because of what he said, but the more Valor stared at him, the more that guilt was replaced with irritation. Couldn't Valor stare at something else, anything else, besides him? Seiryuu tried his best to ignore him and concentrate on the lesson, but to his horror, Mr. Madore spoke up the dreaded words:<br/><br/>Ok, you all will be working in pairs for today's exercise, choose your partners...<br/><br/>He groaned and did not bother getting out of his seat, knowing that Valor would be over to his side in his flash and not allow anyone else to be Seiryuu's partner.<br/></center>"

Rodrigo muttered, watching as Ethan walked to his seat, on the SAFE side of the classroom, leaving Rodrigo to take his seat next to the weirdos. That is...if he could even GET to his seat. His desk was forgotten and abandoned, drowning in a sea of lovestuck girls, all trying to climb over one another to get to the desk in the center. There, in the very middle of the room, sat a pretty blonde who was talking very loudly and obnoxiously. Rodrigo saw him greet the two weirdos from before and he let out a groan. Of course all these weird kids knew each other. They probably walked around in gangs, trying to out-weird each other with their antics. Just what kind of school was this anyway??<br/><br/>Deciding that standing around angrily wasn't going to get him anywhere, Rodrigo started to push himself through the crowd of gaggling girls, determined to get to his seat and cursing Ethan the whole time. Eventually, after much pushing and shoving, Rodrigo successfully made it to his desk and threw his things on it and angrily kicked the chair out. Why was everyone concerned with the guy in the middle? Why wasn't the teacher doing anything to calm the class down?? Again; What kind of school was this??!!? Luckily though, Rodrigo was seated next to the window and he turned to look through it, rather than the other direction with the weird kid with horns and his creepy French friend.<br/><br/><b>MINATO</b><br/>Second period always made Minato nervous. If Trixxtal and his little cronies making ruckus wasn't bad enough, Hibrid constantly breathing down his neck was. Even when he wasn't actively threatening him, or even looking at him, the boy never failed to make Minato feel uneasy. Just his presence alone was enough to send a chill racing down his spine. Of course, the fear that Hibird imposed on him was nothing compared to the body trembling, teeth rattling, heart racing nervousness that Kyoya brought about, but Minto could certainly do without it on a daily basis. Everyday he lived with the fear that today was going to be the day that Hibird finally decided that he wasn't worthy enough of being Kyoya's roommate and kill him, dumping his body in a ditch only to be found years later when he and Kyoya were out of the country. It wasn't even a matter of ""if"" by this point, simply ""when"".<br/><br/>The light haired blonde sighed woefully at his depressing thoughts and colored in the rest of his protagonist's hair with his pencil, ignoring the rest of the commotion happening in class. He didn't even look up when someone sat in the empty seat next to him, thinking that it was just another student who abruptly decided to move seats ( Mr.Protettore was all about free will and allowed people to change their seating arrangement whenever they felt like it. But this backfired when it caused a 'Hunger Games"" like competition between Trixxtal's admirers about who was going to get the seats closest to him. Minato's desk was two places behind Trixxtal, so he hadn't been challenged to battle yet, but there was always a possibility - yet another reason why he hated coming to class.) But when Hibird started to talk to the new person, something he rarely did unless he was threatening them, Minato dared to glance up.<br/><br/>And suddenly everything stopped.<br/><br/>This new kid - Minato knew that he was new because he had never seen this guy before, and if he had he would have definitely remembered him- was the PERFECT clone of his most favorite video game character of all time; Cloudy Striffle from the Last Daydream series. Minato's jaw dropped and he had to quickly look away or else he would attract Hibird's attention, hanging his head so his hair covered his face as he internally began to freak out. He had seen one or two people around school that looked like his favorite anime characters, walking down the hall or eating food in the lunchhall, but none of them had ever looked as close as this guy. <br/><br/>Minato was overwhelmed with the powerful urge to say something, or introduce himself, or try to make friends with the Cloudy-look-alike, but unfortunately, Hibird was already making conversation and if Minato interrupted him, it would be like staring death straight in the face. So instead, Minato tried to keep his cool and his eyes on his paper as the bell rang and class begun.<br/><br/><b>VALOR</b><br/>Valor was up and out of his seat even before Mr.Madore could finish his sentence, dashing towards Azure's desk as if there was someone else who would beat him to it. But before he could slam his hand on Azure's desk and childishly announce that Azure had already been claimed as his partner, he was blindsided by a flash of blue and a cold, steel like grip wrapped around his wrist, pulling him back.<br/><br/>"" Why don't we partner up today, Valor?"" Belisario suggested calmly, "" I'm sure that Seiryuu has had enough of you today."" His words were as sharp as ice and they pierced through Valor's fragile heart like daggers. There was a moment where he was going to try to convince his group leader to let him partner up with Azure, but arguing with Belisario was like repeatedly walking into a brick wall - it was going to get him nowhere. Defeated, Valor slumped his shoulders and allowed Belisario to pull him away from Seiryuu's desk and over to his own that was in the front of the class.<br/><br/>Mizuki, who was somehow oblivious to everything that was going on, simply laughed and turned to Seiryuu, "" Ahahaha, they're really fuckin' weird right? It's almost like Valor's in love with you! Ahahaha! Hey! Wanna partner up?""</center>"

Hibird was not in this class so he had nobody to talk to and Minato did not have this class either so Kyoya did not even have anybody to torment. At least that would have passed the time. His teacher had begun some kind of lecture, Kyoya had no idea what it was about because he was not listening, instead he stared blankly at his notebook. ""Damn, I forgot my pencil...""he muttered to himself, annoyed at his mistake. He could care less about taking notes, but Kyoya could at least draw or something to pass the time.<br/><br/>ETHAN<br/>""Uh, problems...? Er, I don't mind answering questions."" he answered with a nervous laugh, wondering if this sudden interrogation was some sort of divine punishment for making Rodrigo sit next to the weird kids.<br/><br/>""How old are you? Where were you born? What is your purpose for attending this academy? If you are here to harm the young master, you will not leave this room unharmed."" his new classmate fired question after question and Ethan felt overwhelmed, especially by the odd statement at the end. Was this guy threatening him? Stalking him, even?! Ethan did not expect an interrogation like this and he did not want to blow their cover on the first day of school. He put on a smile and patted the blond kid on the shoulder, activating his power to see his memories, feel his emotions, and...unfortunately, take on part of his personality. He winced slightly as the rush of recent memories and emotions filled his brain at rapid speed.<br/><br/>""You need to chill the fuck out, dude.""he responded with sudden anger, learning that the boy's name was Hibari Sanada but preferred Hibird, and that he was <i>very</i> protective of his adoptive brother Kyoya Sanada. Hibird!Ethan could respect that; he felt the same about his own adoptive brother. Anybody who dared to lay a finger on Rodrigo or look at him the wrong way would end up thrown into a dumpster like the trash they were, preferably in a body bag. ""I'm just an ordinary seventeen year old kid who decided to come to school here with my brother, for this school's music course."", he lied through his teeth, ""I don't give a damn about this young master, whoever he is, but <b>I'm</b> the one who will have a problem with <b>you</b> if you try to harm to my brother.""<br/><br/>HIBIRD<br/>""What the fuck did you just say? Are you talking back to me?!""he growled angrily, shoving the hand off of his shoulder. How dare this Ethan kid threaten him back, while he was threatening him first?! Hibird did not respond at first because he was caught off guard by the guy's sudden personality change. He had thought he was a weakling who would be a pushover like Minato, but no, Ethan thought he was apparently hot shit who could take him on in a fight! He glared and was ready to punch this stupid new kid in the face, when all of a sudden, Ethan whipped around and started heading towards the other side of the classroom, aggressively pushing people out of his way.<br/><br/>CEPHEUS<br/>""AHAHA! Look, Hellhound Cepheus, Vampire Trixxtal is seducing the fine women of this classroom once again. Mortals cannot resist the charms of dark creatures, like him and us. Hurry and join me on the throne, so we may observe and stand by in case he requires our demonic wings."" he heard Lucifel talking to him just as he finished the last of the notes, and Cepheus grinned.<br/><br/>""Alright alright, I'll sit next to you. But I don't think he needs a wingman right now. The ladies look like they want him.""he laughed as he stood up and went next to Lucifel, both sitting on what his friend called the throne, but it was really just his desk. ""Wow, they're pretty rowdy right now!""he commented amused, seeing how the girls were literally pushing and shoving in order to sit next to his best friend. And as if the heavens wanted to prove his statement right, out of nowhere Cepheus felt a pain in his face as a girl accidently elbowed him in the head. Because he was sharing a seat with Lucifel, he did not have a lot of space on the desk, and Cepheus fell off. Thankfully, someone broke his fall.<br/><br/>""OW!""he cried out, rubbing his cheek before turning to see that he had fallen against some kid he had never seen before, who was sitting in the desk by the window. But before he could say anything, somebody started yelling at him.<br/><br/>""How dare you fall on my brother, you scumbag?"" a blond kid shoved his way past the desks and girls, reaching the other side of the classroom at impressive speed. He grabbed Cepheus by the shirt and he gave him a look that oddly gave him a sense of deja vu. ""You are not worthy to even breathe the same air as him!"" Ah thats why, Hibird had said the exact same thing to Cepheus whenever he got to close to Kyoya or a member of Captivating Captains. How weird.<br/><br/>""Awww, man it was an accident!""he replied, giving him an unconcerned grin.<br/><br/>""Apologize or I will throw you out of the window.""the guy threatened, but Cepheus just laughed and turned to the black haired kid. <br/><br/>""Haha, I'm sorry dude! I didn't mean to fall on you, I got hit in the face and lost my balance."" the same grin still on the relaxed boy's face.<br/><br/>HIBIRD<br/><br/>At first he thought that Ethan was cowardly and running away from him, but to his surprise he actually went to go yell at one of the Glamour scumbags for falling on his brother. Maybe this kid was not so bad after all. The rage he felt towards the blond slowly started to be replaced with respect. He acted just like he would if one of those idiots fell on top of his friends or the young master! It was as if Ethan had some sort of sixth sense about his brothe-<br/><br/>""Young master!""he suddenly gasped out loud, and he turned to Minato, who he had ignored today in favor of interrogating the new kid. He didn't say a word to him, but Hibird suddenly swiped the pencil the boy had been using and wordlessly got up from his seat. Hibird dashed out of the classroom, pencil in hand, heading towards Kyoya's classroom because he had a feeling that the young master was in need of a writing utensil.<br/><br/>SEIRYUU<br/><br/>""H-he's not in love with me!""he denied quickly, almost like he felt flustered, ""And yes. Let's partner up.""<br/><br/>Relieved that he would have a reprieve from Valor for the moment, Seiryuu did not dare even spare a glance at said blond right now. ""The assignment is fairly easy. You can go first."" he said, but everything was easy to Seiriyuu. One partner would do a vocal exercise while the other would observe and critique. Then they switched roles. Seiryuu felt unenthusiastic about the work and hoped that this class would go by fast. <br/><br/></center>"

Either this guy was stupid or had a death wish. He had <i>never</i> seen someone stand up to Hibird like that and it only made Minato more interested in him. Was he going to be like Cloudy when he faced off against Sephibroth in their last encounter? Could this new student be like the protagonist of his comic and stand up and defeat the big bad?? Was someone finally going to knock Hibird down a few pegs like he deserved???<br/><br/>Minato couldn't help but watch the clash between the two blondes in interest and was ready to scoot out of the way if a fight broke out. But once more, to his surprise, the CloudyClone backed off and retreated into the pile of girls in the center of the class to save his brother from the Glamour gang. ""How cool..."" He sighed in admiration, liking the new guy more with every passing second. He didn't even care when Hibird snagged his pencil and rested his head in his hands instead, sighing dreamily at CloudyClone.<br/><br/><b>RODRIGO</b><br/>Rodrigo was content with just tuning out from the commotion of the room and stare out the window until class was over and he could leave, but of course, this whacked world wasn't going to make things easy. The chatter from the girls and his distance from Ethan made it so that he didn't hear his and Hibird's argument, so he had no clue about what was going on, but he certainly felt someone fall on top of him. "" Augh, what the fuck?!"" Rodrigo shouted in anger, too high strung to put up with anyone else's bullshit today and ready to punch someone's lights out until Ethan broke through the crowd, looking like he was ready to do it for him. As Ethan began to threaten the weirdo who fell on him, Rodrigo could only guess what had happened. Usually Ethan was more in check with his powers and wouldn't have done this only minutes into their first class, so there must have been a good reason. But whatever that reason was, it was now Rodrigo's job to calm him down.<br/><br/>Taking a quick look around, Rodrigo was painfully aware that all eyes were on them, except for the damn teacher, and he nervously swallowed. "" Uh...it's no problem, don't worry about it."" He said in reply to the guy's apology, hoping that now that that was done, Ethan would drop the issue and they could move on, hopefully with class. But again, nothing was that easy in this world apparently, and before Ethan could do anything, a hand clasped his shoulder and forcefully spun him around, bringing him face to face with the loud blonde from earlier. <i>Great....</i> Rodrigo groaned. If this angry Ethan laid a finger on this guy, both him and Rodrigo would become public enemy number one and two to the entire female population. <i>Please don't do anything stupid!</i> he pleaded mentally.<br/><br/><b>TRIXXTAL</b><br/>It was true that he didn't care enough to learn <i>everyone's</i> names in his classes, but Trixxtal was sure that he had never seen the guy threatening Cepheus in class before, which meant that he was new. So not only was he a new kid, but he <i>obviously</i> didn't understand how this school worked and it was Trixxtal's job to teach him. "" Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?"" He asked in his most authoritative tone he could muster, forcing the new kid to take his hands off Cepheus and face him. With a quick glance he sized him up and came to the conclusion that he was <i>wayyyy</i> better looking than this new guy. Which was good. Trixxtal was only ever intimidated by guys who looked better than him and seeing that this new guy was a 7/10 <i>at most</i>, he felt no fear staring him down, no matter how shitty his personality was. "" I'll have you know that if you ever lay a hand on me or my friends again, you'll deeply regret it, <i>mon cher</i>."" He could hear the girls around him swooning and Trixxtal thought to himself that he should play the bad boy more often. Girls love that kind of thing.<br/><br/>"" Not only will you have to answer to me, but also my own demonic prince! Lucifel! If you please, warn this lowly human of your dark powers!"" He laughed smoothly, backing up to allow Lucifel to take his place. Trixxtal was too pretty to be involved with physical altercations and left it to his friends to be his bodyguards.<br/><br/><b>BELISARIO</b><br/>"" Do you believe in true loveeeee?"" Valor asked dreamily, earning him a deep sigh. It was too early in the day to deal with this bullshit, Belisario told himself. He would literally pay Valor any amount of money if he shut up about his little crush, atleast until their assignment was done. He couldn't afford to fail this class all because he decided to be nice and spare Seiryuu the annoyance. <br/><br/>"" Yes Valor, I believe in true love. The love between you and Seiryu-""<br/><br/>""Azure.""<br/><br/>""-Azure, is definitely one for the history books. Now please focus on the exercise."" He spoke as if he was talking to a child, which in this case wasn't too far off. When Valor didn't answer he assumed that the message had gotten through and Valor was going through the notes he had to sing, but within the next minute the illusion was broken.<br/><br/>"" If I took a picture of him without him knowing, that isn't considered stalking right?""<br/><br/>Belisario banged his head against the desk in hopes that it would give him a swift death.</center>"

But then <i>he</i> opened his big mouth. <br/><br/>Trixxtal. Hibird absolutely despised this person and it was passed onto Ethan for the moment. <br/><br/>“You think I’m afraid of some freak with fake horns on his head?!” he lashed out as the one named Lucifel walked in front of him. He gazed at Ethan with absolute conviction, but Ethan saw it only as arrogance, and that infuriated the blond. Lucifel smirked and looked at him like he was below him, which did nothing to quell the rage he inherited from Hibird.<br/><br/>“Ohohoho! These horns are the source of my DARK MAGIC and you should fear them.”<br/><br/>Ethan snorted and extended his arm, grabbing the horns and forcefully yanking them off of the boy’s head. He frowned and stared at them, seeing nothing out of the ordinary about them, so he threw them back at Lucifel. “They look like some ordinary headband from a costume shop!” he declared, but Lucifel did not seem fazed at all by his declaration or actions. <br/><br/>“Ha! Only those with the sight can sense the power these give off.” he said with a smug face, placing the horns back on his head and for a moment Ethan wondered if he was telling the truth. He watched as Lucifel pulled a stuffed duck from behind the cape he was wearing. “Behold, the lord of darkness, my other self, Tapioco. He will deliver the judgment of the divine darkness on your mortal soul.”<br/><br/>As Ethan was presented the duck doll and cheesy villainlike lines, confusion was plain on his face. Nobody would willingly carry around such a stupid looking bird, making a fool of them self; if it was not actually worth something…right? Lucifel didn’t sound like he was kidding. <br/><br/>“Wait, are you being serious right now?” he asked bewildered, remembering all of the bullshit Angel put them through. He knew that magic was real in his world, and even if <br/>Angel had told them nothing like that was in this universe, there was a chance he had been wrong. And that terrified Ethan. His expression turned from confused to terror and he backed away from the dark haired boy. The shock managed to return Ethan’s personality to normal earlier than usual. Or maybe it was…magic… “Y-You practice dark magic?!” <br/><br/>Lucifel’s eyes seemed to brighten at his response and Ethan guessed it was from the satisfaction of putting the fear of the devil in him. Ethan watched the boy begin to laugh and warily watched him pet the duck on the head. “Hahaha that’s right!” he responded cheerfully, “Fear the dark lord!” <br/><br/>“Hold it.”<br/><br/>A cold voice stopped Lucifel from throwing the duck he was about to throw. Another blond boy had arrived and he stepped between him and Lucifel, dropping a large thick book on the desk titled DA RULES. Hibird had also apparently returned to the room, scowling at the newcomer as he disdainfully followed behind him.<br/><br/>TIARO<br/><br/>“Page 394.” He stated cooly, staring at the unfamiliar boy, “Of the rulebook states that there is no fighting allowed on this campus.”<br/><br/>Tiaro had caught that delinquent Hibird outside in the hall without a pass, worst of all running, but the criminal had earned his mercy by pointing out an even bigger crime. Apparently, there was trouble in Mr. Rousseau ‘s room and Tiaro immediately went to investigate. That did not stop him from forcing Hibird to return to the classroom, though.<br/><br/>“At this school,” he turned towards the blond, “We do not settle conflict with fists like undisciplined savages.” He looked at Lucifel at that last sentence, who was about to open his mouth. “<i>Or</i> foolish wand waving, or whatever it is you try to do with that pseudoducklord of darkness.” <br/><br/>With a completely straight face, he continued reciting the rulebook by memory as if it was Holy Scripture written by angels, “You will settle this dispute with a dance off.”<br/><br/>SEIRYUU<br/><br/>He was half-listening to Mizuki right now, too distracted by a sudden feeling of dread. A shiver went down his spine.<br/><br/>No.<br/><br/>No.<br/><br/>No.<br/><br/>He did <i>not</i> want to be in here right now. He was one hundred percent sure that somebody was looking at him right now and there was no doubt in his mind that it was Valor. Seiryuu had been tempted to accept his offer earlier, but thank goodness he didn’t. He had a feeling a date with him would feel a thousand times more uncomfortable, and all Valor was doing was just staring at him from a distance. <br/><br/>He hated this class.<br/><br/>“Thank god Belisario was here…”he muttered to himself. <br/></center>"

In all his years of working for Angel and doing his crazy missions, he had seen some things, like really <i>seen</i> some things. But watching a highschooler wearing plastic costume horns bring out a stuffed duck and call it his dark lord, in a completely serious tone, was something else. A whole NEW level of crazy. And what was worse was that it looked like Ethan actually believed him! He was glad that Ethan had finally snapped out of his bad mood, but felt disappointed that the blonde was falling for the weirdo's tricks. Of course the kid didn't know black magic, no matter how crazy this world seemed to be. <br/><br/>Thankfully, some sort of authoritative figure appeared, even if it was only the hall monitor. Maybe now things could go back to normal....<br/><br/><i>""...settle this dispute with a dance off.”</i><br/><br/>Wait, <i>what?</i> "" A dance off???"" He echoed, finally taking the chance to speak up. "" What kind of bullshit is this? Who actually settles anything with a dance off? We're not in a movie you know!!""<br/><br/>"" Actually,"" A voice chimed in and when Rodrigo looked up he discovered that it was Mr.Rousseau, who had seemed this dispute worthy enough to put his cell phone down for, "" Here at AOA, we try to avoid conflict at all costs. Good relationships between students are what we aim for and we encourage students to take their frustrations out in different ways other than schoolyard fights. Many students here find the 'dance off' option much more productive than throwing fists."" He helpfully supplied. Then, to Rodrigo's horror, he began to usher students out of their seats to push their desks out of the way until the center was clear. <br/><br/>"" Okay guys, you know the rules. Oh! Ethan, silly me, you must not know the rules yet! A dance off lasts for two minutes. Each participant gets 30 seconds to go their dance before passing it on to the other. And then vise versa. Each participant will get two turns to show off their moves and the crowd will be the judges. Whoever gets the loudest cheers wins, and everything the two of you were fighting about gets dropped. Understand?""<br/><br/>After Mr.Rousseau's speech, Rodrigo heard the same annoying laugh from before and Trixxtal emerged from behind Lucifel, "" I hope you've got your dancing shoes on today new boy! Lucifel here is the <b>best</b> dancer in Glamour! I'd like to see you try to beat him!""<br/><br/>Anger flared up in Rodrigo and he too stepped up from behind Ethan to get in the blonde's face, "" Yeah? Well Ethan here has been dancing his whole life!! Infact, he came here on a dancing scholarship!"" He didn't even know what kind of bullshit he was spitting out, but the need to beat Trixxtal was overpowering him. "" Try to have your boy beat that!""<br/><br/>The crowd around him gasped and even Trixxtal seemed astonished at the outburst. Quickly realizing that he had let the moment get the best of him, Rodrigo turned to Ethan with an apologetic look, shrugging his shoulders, "" Isn't that right brother?""</center>"

Ethan had no idea how to dance, and it wasn’t as if he had some super skilled dancing ancestor he could magically inherit talent from within the next five seconds, so it looked like he was about to get schooled by a teenager in front of a group of more teenagers.<br/><br/>Ethan sighed and looked warily at Lucifel. “Uh, you can go first.” The caped boy just laughed and crossed his arms. Hopefully while Lucifel was dancing, he could try to remember some dancing Hibird did, but Ethan was not about to get his hopes up.<br/><br/>“Very well! For this dance off, I will show you moves from the depths of hell itself.” shouted the teenager dramatically, and with one motion, Ethan saw that Lucifel had somehow taken off his cape. Tiaro, who was apparently used to this, took out his cell phone and had an entire playlist of songs on it. Apparently Lucifel did mean what he said about hell, because what played from Tiaro’s phone was some sort of <a href=""https://youtu.be/6DGaDyxpu9o?t=2m"">demonic orchestra music remixed into a dance song</a>. “You cannot hope to out dance me!” bragged Lucifel as he danced, and Ethan had yet to figure out what he was going to do. Lucifel’s dance style was hip-hop, with some unique moves thrown in that Ethan was sure was meant to be in a dark ritual or something, and he could tell right away that his opponent was way better than him.<br/><br/><i>I would rather get detention or something. Why does this school do dance offs anyways? Oh yeah, the school aims for ‘good relationships’. </i> he thought, thinking back to what Mr. Rousseau said. <i>Wait a minute…good relationships…that’s it! </i><br/><br/>“Your turn, if you are not afraid to compete against the prince of hell!” Lucifel said as he did one final dance move, and Ethan nervously nodded. Ethan smiled at Lucifel, who stepped back after his thirty seconds were up. “Um, well good dance.” He looked at Lucifel and stepped forward, then suddenly spread his arms out dramatically, trying to reenact the motions that a protagonist who was about to triumph over the villain in an anime would do. Everyone in this school seemed ridiculous or at least loved flamboyance, so if he wanted to survive this, he needed to act with more flair than Lucifel! “But you know what will always defeat the darkness? The power of friendship! It works in all the stories I’ve heard and all the video games I’ve played. So that’s why, I will dance with my friends, both old and new!” He cheered with projected confidence, and Ethan grabbed Rodrigo’s hands and put them on his shoulders. “Come on, everyone, join me in a conga line. Get behind my brother and join the fight with me, the hero of light, against Lucifel, prince of darkness. ” He did not know if it was against the rules, but Tiaro changed the demonic hip-hop music to <a href=""https://youtu.be/3BpBwerI4EI?t=10s"">conga music</a> anyways.<br/><br/> “Ahaha, what a clever idea! Fitting for a hero of light!” shouted an excited Lucifel and he surprised Ethan by being the first to join his bullshit conga line. Lucifel placed his hands on Rodrigo’s shoulders, trapping him between him and Ethan, giving him no choice but to participate. “Come, Hellhound Cepheus and Vampire Trixxtal, and denizens of Hell, let us all join the battle!” <br/><br/>“Hell yeah sounds fun! Hey Trix, I'm gonna do it.”cheered Cepheus, who was always up for whatever his friends wanted to do, and followed behind Lucifel. Other classmates joined the conga line after Cepheus did and Ethan led them around the classroom for his entire thirty seconds, hoping everyone would just forget that he was supposed to be in a dance off. <br/><br/>LUCIFEL<br/>Breaking off from the conga line after thirty seconds and letting Cepheus take a hold of the hero of light’s brother instead, Lucifel ventured ahead to the side of said hero of light, Ethan. “Ahaha, let us make a peace treaty, and combine light and dark for the last minute of our ceremony!” he suggested to Ethan as he wrapped his arm around his shoulder, his horn poking Ethan’s eye. “Ow…”the blond mumbled, rubbing his eye. “You mean, finish the dance off together? Yeah, that’s fine with me.”<br/><br/>Feeling triumphant for getting the hero of light to agree to his terms, Lucifel laughed and pulled Ethan out of the line. ""Underworld Guardian, change it to <i>that</i> song.""<br/><br/>""Fine, but I hope you know joining together means getting a draw, and the rules say you still have to drop whatever issue you had earlier."" explained Tiaro, who stopped the conga music and played a new song.<br/><br/>ETHAN<br/>A song started playing and Ethan was completely confused about what was happening anymore, but at least Lucifel looked like he had completely forgotten about their dispute from earlier. ""Do you know this melody, Hero of Light?"" asked Lucifel, who appeared thrilled when the melody started playing.<br/><br/>""Uh, not really."" he mumbled, but Lucifel started dancing by himself anyways. ""You know what, that's a very interesting dance. I'll just watch you from over here so I can see it properly. ""<br/><br/>""Very well! But I will teach it to you later! Everyone should know how to dance the <a href=""https://youtu.be/wzUABz1cV00"">devil's dance</a>!"" cheered Lucifel, making Ethan wonder if they had accidently become friends. The carefree one named Cepheus randomly started dancing beside Lucifel as well. ""Haha, Luce, I wanna dance too!"" he said, and a lot of classmates became excited at seeing the Glamour members dance together. The class was once again thrown into chaos and people were all just dancing or watching. Tiaro said nothing because Mr. Rousseau had yet to say anything, and Ethan didn't know if the teacher actually would.<br/><br/>""Oh..uh, ok."" he replied to Lucifel, ""But only if you teach it to my brother too.""<br/></center>"

<span class=""bb-b"">RODRIGO</span>

"" I can't BELIEVE you made me do that."" Rodrigo groaned, facepalming at the mere memory of the dance off earlier that day. To keep the peace, he let the crazed fake horn guy show him the ""devil's dance"", which really just seemed like a shitty dance someone would do alone in their room where no one could see them. It was only by the good graces of a higher deity that the teacher actually got off his ass and taught the class. But after all the commotion, it turned out to only be a fifteen minute lesson. Not like he was complaining, but wasn't there more to this whole ""highschool"" deal? The rest of their classes were like their first period, full of weird teachers and even weirder students. Rodrigo was just glad that it was lunchtime and they had the chance to be by themselves for once. The rooftop seemed like the best location to eat. Most of the students ate in the cafeteria, or went off campus to some local restaurants. The roof wasn't closed off, <span class=""bb-i"">like it was supposed to be</span>, but it was empty when they got up there so it looked like their best choice. 

"" Also, what the hell is this??"" Rodrigo looked down at their lunch boxes. Unlike the kind he was used to, it was an actual box. When opened, it was divided into sections. One for rice, one for meat, and one for vegetables. The lunch lady had called it a ""bento box"" and Rodrigo wondered if it was an invention used only in this world. Whatever the case, it was NOT enough to be called a lunch. You could hardly fit a snadwhich in there, never mind an entire lunch! "" I swear, the things we do for that guy..."" He muttered under his breath, referring to their white haired landlord.

Seconds after he started eating, the door to the rooftop suddenly opened. He and Ethan were sitting [[ I literally do not know how to explain this they're gonna be sitting by the silver thing with the fans on top {<a href=""http://s19.photobucket.com/user/wolf_demon123/media/Anime%20School/Roof.jpg.html"">x</a>} ]], facing away from the sun, so he had to look over the corner to see who it was. If it was a teacher, he and Ethan would probably get in trouble for being up here, but then again, in this crazy school, kids probably ate up here all the time. When he peeked around the wall, he almost groaned when he saw the flashy french kid from first period. "" Look who it is,"" He whispered to Ethan, not wanting to be seen by Frenchie to avoid another confrontation. Luckily, it seemed like they had gone unnoticed by Trixxtal, who was walking to the railing and peering off into the sky. Rodrigo turned to Ethan and rolled his eyes, getting ready to gather his bento box, "" C'mon we should go before he sees u--"" He suddenly stopped when another student entered the rooftop and walked towards Trixxtal.

"" What's happening??"" Rodrigo asked as if Ethan knew, setting his things back down to watch the scene. From what he could see, Trixxtal heard the new guy approach and turned around to face him, his hair sparkling in the sunlight. 

"" Ah, <span class=""bb-i"">mon ami</span>, so glad that you could make it,"" He heard the blonde say, "" I take it you got my note to meet me up here, <span class=""bb-i"">oui</span>?""</div></div>"

In Jecht’s hand was a bag containing the homemade lunch he made for Trixxtal. He woke up an hour early each morning to prepare the food and he poured his heart into each meal, knowing the work was worth it every time he saw Trixxtal’s smiling face as he accepted Jecht’s food. He pressed the bag against his chest, close to his beating heart, not wanting anything to happen to the lunch as he walked through the cafeteria.<br/><br/>“Hey, guys!” he greeted warmly, walking up to a table sitting the Glamour group members. They returned his greetings but Jecht’s smile faltered slightly when he did not hear his beloved’s voice. “Trixxtal’s not here yet?” he asked, and Cepheus quickly answered for him.<br/><br/>“Oh, he told me he’d be a little late today. It won’t be long so you can sit with us and wait for him, Jecht.” He offered with a charming grin on his face as he pulled open a seat for him. Jecht nodded and was about to sit down, when Touda spoke up. <br/><br/>“I saw him heading for the rooftop.” He mentioned innocently, and the blinding smile on Touda’s face was full of so much kindness Jecht wouldn’t be surprised if Lucifel started making a scene about angels. <br/><br/>“Oh! Thanks, Touda! Since he won’t be long, I’ll just look for him there then, and we can walk back here together.” He thanked Touda, missing the way Cepheus cringed at the boy’s mention of the rooftop. <br/><br/>ETHAN<br/><br/>“There was no way I was going through that by myself, especially after you said I was some prodigy dancer! Let’s just agree to NEVER bring up that again.” he hissed, and then glanced down at the cafeteria meal with a frown. It was no wonder Rodrigo was looking at it with disdain. These meal portions looked like they would be perfect for a snack, not an actual lunch meal. He didn’t know if this was normal in their original world since he had no memory of attending school, but Ethan could have sworn that movies depicted high school cafeteria lunches differently than a small box. Actually, at the thought of ugly colored trays and ‘gross’ cafeteria food, maybe they didn’t have it so bad. At least the food tasted delicious, and being on the rooftop meant they didn’t have to deal with other students.<br/><br/>Of course he was proven wrong not even ten seconds later when he heard voices near the railing. “Oh great.” He sighed, noticing the bastard he almost got in a fight with earlier, “What’s he doing here?”<br/><br/>A student he didn’t recognize arrived soon after and Ethan watched the scene unfold curiously alongside Rodrigo. <br/><br/>BELLEROPHON<br/><br/>Bellerophon would rather go read manga in his room, but who knew if he would ever get a chance like this again? He was only here because in anime and manga, interesting things usually happened on rooftops, so he wanted to pretend he was in a real life anime. He reluctantly reached the rooftop of the school and felt his heart begin thumping swiftly against his chest at the sight of some cherry blossom petals fluttering with the wind. Maybe his wish for this moment to be like an anime could come true after all. <br/><br/>He looked around nervously and saw someone waiting alone by the railings. The guy turned around and started greeting him, and Bellerophon lamely shrugged his shoulders. “Yeah.” He answered unenthusiastically, observing him with slight interest trying to recognize him. He didn’t think he’d ever seen him before. He had no idea who this person was. “So you are… Trix...Toll?” he asked uncertainly, having no idea how to pronounce that ridiculous name. Honestly, another reason Bellerophon actually showed up was because the name Trixxtal looked like the name of a main character from a manga.<br/><br/>“And what did you want?” he added, realizing for the first time that he actually had no idea why this guy invited him out here. He just jumped at the chance to pretend he was real anime that he didn’t think about why Trixxtal sent him the note in the first place. <br/><br/></center>"

He had successfully whoo'd many others who originally had no interest in him --which was ridiculous all by itself, like, have you seen him? Who wouldn't be into that?-- and Bellerophon would be no different. All he needed was some sweet talking, a little harmless persuasion, and then he'd be under his thumb just like the rest of the school. All Trixxtal needed to do was work his magic.<br/><br/>Putting on the charming smile that everyone seemed to love, Trixxtal leaned back against the railing and pushed his head back, running his hand through his luxurious sandy blonde hair as the cherry blossom pedals fell around him, "" Ah, my dear Bellerophon,"" He made sure to put on his thickest accent as he stepped away from the railing to get into Bellerophon's personal space, "" You and I are strangers, but I was hoping that we could...get the chance to know each other better,"" Any thoughts that he might of had about Jecht, his <i>boyfriend</i> had left his mind entirely and was replaced with the sole mission of getting the beautiful blonde before him to fall in love with him. </center>"

He didn’t know if Trixxtal somehow did it intentionally but Bellerophon wanted to learn how to do that. If only there was some cool anime theme song in the background playing somehow, his wish would have come true. Completely distracted by the petals and his anime fantasy, he didn’t notice that Trixxtal had stepped closer to him until he heard the thick accent directed at him. “Huh? What for?” he mumbled confused, caught off guard by the statement and he took a step back. Bellerophon couldn’t think of any reason as to why anyone would say that unless they were taking pity on him or were fans of his celebrity parents. Did this guy want to be his friend or something? That was the last thing he wanted! A real life friend would just waste his time and keep him from those who truly mattered to him; the figurines waiting for him on the shelf back in his dorm room.<br/><br/>“I don’t really see the point, the only friends I need I already have in my life.” He said bluntly, but then a fond smile appeared on his lips as he thought of some of his favorite characters. “Getting to know you would take my time away from them.” He added, thinking about all the anime he still needed to watch and all the manga he still needed to read. <br/><br/>JECHT<br/>“Haha you know, it really won’t be that long, it would probably be easier to just wait here with us…” said Cepheus with a small laugh, placing his hand on Jecht’s shoulder as he steered him to the seat he offered earlier. “We don’t get to talk much and it would be nice to get to know you better. You’re our bro’s boyfriend and all.”<br/><br/>Jecht felt bewildered by Cepheus’ insistence, but he couldn’t help but smile at the fact that Trixxtal’s best friend wanted to eat lunch with him. Jecht was normally too shy to speak to any of his boyfriends friends without Trixxtal around, so this was a good opportunity to get to know them better. “O-oh…okay!” he agreed, setting Trixxtal’s lunch down on the table as Cepheus gave another warm smile, paying Jecht absolute attention. It was alright on his nerves at first, Cepheus stuck to simple questions like how he was doing and stuffed he liked. Easy questions. But then the rest of the group started taking an interest in talking to him too, and Jecht began to sweat at the attention he was getting. He was a shy person and while Jecht could handle speaking to just one of them, he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of all of Trixxtal’s friends, and the thought just made him feel anxious. If this continued, he would mess something up like he always did, and Fenrir wouldn’t be here to help him out! This was obviously a mistake. He needed to leave before he said something stupid. <br/><br/>“Ah…it’s nice talking to you guys…but um I just remembered my friends wanted me to sit with them today! I’m gonna go deliver this to Trixxtal, and then find them.” He said as he sat up, too nervous to notice Cepheus’ worried expression, “Thanks for inviting me to sit with you though!”<br/><br/>“Jecht,wait bro-!” Cepheus began to cry out, but Jecht already snagged the bag with Trixxtal's lunch from the table and hastily walked towards the staircase leading to the roof.<br/><br/></center>"

If Trixxtal was a better person, he would probably question his true intentions, if getting involved with Bellerophon, who had nothing in common with him and was, quite frankly, dense as hell, was worth endangering his relationship with Jecht, but sadly, Trixxtal was superficial. Bellerophon's beautiful face was enough to lead him astray from Jecht's side and Trixxtal wanted nothing more but to add the beautiful blonde before him to his personal harem.<br/><br/>"" It might seem like you have everything right now,<span class=""bb-i""> mon amour</span>,"" He grinned, reaching out to lightly stroke his fingers across his cheek, "" but you don't know what you're missing un-""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">RODRIGO</span><br/>"" Can we get out of here now?!""

But unfortunately for them, neither he or Ethan could make their escape without running into Bellerophon and Trixxtal and being seen. "" I knew this guy was going to get on my nerves but this is more than I ever expected."" Rodrigo grumbled under his breath, debating whether or not it was worth it was worth getting into an awkward situation than just waiting for them to leave. But before Ethan could answer, both of their heads snapped to the rooftop door that had suddenly swung open. Finally! A chance to escape!</div></div>"

""Yeah, I guess so..."" he agreed, although they were apparently not having the same conversation. But he became slightly startled and then flustered by Trixxtal's romantic words, he even blushed when he realized just how close they were to each other. <br/><br/>Perhaps, Trixxtal could have succeeded in his quest if it wasn't for the fact that Bellerophon loved anime as much as he did. When Trixxtal's fingers suddenly stroked his cheek, Bellerophon's first thought was <span class=""bb-i"">Wow...Isn't this the kind of thing that would happen to a character in a romance anime? The sakura petals are even still fluttering around him. Am I...am I experiencing a real life anime moment?!</span> Unfortunately for Trixxtal, Bellerophon forgot he was there as soon as he compared them to anime characters.<br/><br/>He tuned out the rest of Trixxtal's flirting because he was distracted by his thoughts about different rooftop anime scenes. What other scenarios happened during a rooftop moment? Bellerophon immediately thought of friends eating lunch together. Well, Bellerophon had no real world friends, and unless Trixxtal handed him a bento they could not re-enact a scene like that. The bento directed his memories to girls pouring their heart out to make the hand made meals for their cherished senpai, handing the lunch to them with a blush on their face. Bellerophon then remembered that he had been reminded of a romance anime in the first place by Trixxtal, whom he had completely forgotten about and stopped listening to. He snapped out of his daydream and finally paid attention to Trixxtal, who was in the middle of saying something he didn't quite hear except for  the random french word tacked at the end of the sentence.<br/><br/>""Sorry, I stopped listening, what were you saying?"" he asked, but then became distracted again when a sakura petal carried by the wind had stuck itself onto Trixxtal's face. He was curious if those were actually real, because Bellerophon could still barely believe how they kept swirling around them like in anime, so he leaned forward to take a closer look. ""Wow, these petals aren't fake...? It's happening naturally..."" he mumbled to himself in awe. <br/><br/>But then, Bellerophon heard the door open so he turned his head to see who had come to the rooftop. That happened to be a mistake because they were already close together so when Bellerophon moved, his lips somehow accidently crashed into Trixxtal's. His mind went blank. All he could think about was that ridiculous accidental kisses like this only happened in bad fanfiction. Now all that needed to happen now was for the worst person to catch them like this, and just on cue, Bellerophon heard a voice.<br/><br/>""Hey, Trixxtal! Are you here-""<br/><br/>And at that moment Bellerophon pulled away startled and, wanting to look anywhere but at Trixxtal he turned towards who had spoken, revealing Jecht Rutella staring at them in disbelief.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">JECHT</span><br/>He opened the door and stepped onto the rooftop, smiling as he looked around. ""Hey, Trixxtal! Are you here-"" he called out, only to stop midsentence when he spotted Trixxtal. Only, Trixxtal was in the middle of kissing another person.<br/><br/>""What...are you doing? What is going on, Trixxtal?"" he asked in disbelief, his hands shaking as he pressed his bento against his chest. He looked at Trixxtal, to the random boy (who was probably one of the most beautiful people he had ever seen, which only added to Jecht's dismay), and back to Trixxtal. ""You were...kissing...Why?""<br/><br/>He felt tears already beginning to sting his eyes. His friends had warned him that Trixxtal was unfaithful, but he didn't believe them because he trusted Trixxtal wholeheartedly. But...he could not ignore what he saw with his own eyes. He wanted to yell and scream, demanding answers, but Jecht wasn't that kind of person. He wasn't violent or confrontational and he didn't know how to deal with catching his boyfriend in a compromising position like this.<br/><br/>""How...how dare you, Trixxtal, how could you?! I thought you loved me!"" he cried, tears streaming down his face. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">ETHAN</span><br/>""It feel like we're watching a shitty live action soap opera."" Ethan said, bewildered by what he just saw. He felt sorry for whoever the dark haired guy was, but he had zero pity for the fake French accent douchebag from math class. More importantly, the two of them could finally get out of here without becoming involved in an awkward situation if they were sneaky enough to not get noticed. He had already been involved in an embarrassing situation today and he did not want to experience any more. ""Anyways, they're distracted now, let's sneak out the door!"" he whispered, eyeing the stairs with determination.</div></div>"

If he had known that Bellerophon would be so forward, Trixxtal would have skipped the conversation and gone straight to the foreplay. He would have even escalated the kiss if he had been given the chance but then they were interrupted with the door to the rooftop opening with a loud bang.<br/><br/>Trixxtal was just as surprised as everyone else on the roof top when Jecht came barging in. Which he really shouldn't be, because it wasn't unusual for Jecht to be looking for him at this time to give him his daily bento. But Trixxtal had hoped that either Cepheus or one of the other Glamour members would keep him occupied, since they knew he would be meeting Bellerophon on the roof. Seeing how that plan fell through, he guessed there was nothing he could do about it now. This wouldn't be the first time a lover caught him in the arms of another, but this was the first time he was caught in school....'s rooftop....with a man. Okay, there had been (some) situations that were similar to this one, but none of them had made him feel as bad as he did now. <br/><br/>"" Oh...Jecht... I didn't expect you here."" He said calmly, trying to pass off that nothing had happened. But then Jecht began to question him, making it clear as hell that he had seen them kissing. Quickly, Trixxtal backpedaled. "" No, no, no my love, what you saw was nothing. Nothing happened, right <span class=""bb-i"">mon amie</span>?"" He turned to Bellerophon for confirmation. "" It was an accident,"" He shrugged. If he didn't make a big thing out of it, it would make Jecht out to the one being overdramatic.<br/><br/>RODRIGO<br/>"" I totally agree,"" Rodrigo deadpanned, watching the same shitty soap opera happening before them. He thought that dramatic shit like this only happened in television but apparently anything in this world was possible. But he was lowkey getting interested in the drama too. "" He's such a douchebag,"" he grumbled, looking over at the poor darkhaired new arrival, who he could only guess was the douchebag's boyfriend. But Ethan pointed out that the door was now open and they would be able to escape  and Rodrigo nodded, "" Yeah lets get out of here, I don't like where this is going,"" He motioned for Ethan to go but now a fourth party appeared, a bespectacled boy with a terrible expression on his face, "" Jecht, what the fuck happened here? Why are you crying?"" Rodrigo watched as the newest addition to the rooftop drama turned to the french d-bag with an even darker look, "" What the fuck did you do to Jecht now, asshole?!""<br/><br/>"" Great, "" Rodrigo sighed, accepting that they might never leave the rooftop at this rate, and be forced to watch this terrible drama unfold. He could only hope that lunch would be over soon and force on the rooftop to go to class.  <br/><br/>PETRIOS<br/>Like everyone else at the table, Petrios watched as Jecht ran off towards the rooftop. "" Welp, he's dead."" Petrios sighed, shaking his head. He appreciated Cepheus' efforts to keep Jecht at the table, since he did more than anyone else, but whatever happened next was all Trixxtal's fault and Petrios refused to feel guilty about it. He just hoped that everything would be PG-13 when Jecht got up there. <br/><br/>"" It was bound to happen at one point,"" he rationalized, "" Better now than later."" He nodded his head, agreeing with himself. He didn't know why Trixxtal bothered with relationships when they would all end like this. Why say that you would commit to someone only to go back on your word? But it wasn't just Trixxtal that suffered from this mindset. With the exception of him and Touda, everyone at the table were all cheaters and deserved each other. How did he ever get dragged into their sleazy group?? As he questioned his choice in friends, a moment of silence passed. <br/><br/>""RIP in peace."" Mizuki said, closing his eyes as he began to pray.</div></div>"

Gossip often blossomed into ridiculous exaggerated stories so without proof right in front of him, Jecht avoided confronting Trixxtal about it. He had faith in his beloved, but the sight of his love kissing a beautiful man right in front of him made Jecht wonder if his friends were right to question his relationship with Trixxtal.<br/><br/>However, a ray of hope suddenly dawned on Jecht as Trixxtal’s words began to reach him. He still felt hurt and could not help his tears, but his boyfriend claimed it was all a misunderstanding. Jecht desperately hope it was the truth. “R-really, it was an accident?” he whimpered, sniffling as he looked to Trixxtal. “So you still love me?” he sobbed, wiping his tears on his sleeve. “You’re not leaving me for him?” he accused, glancing at the other boy.<br/><br/>As if completely oblivious to the lover’s quarrel between him and Trixxtal, the boy unhelpfully didn’t even respond to confirm or deny Trixxtal’s earlier statement and instead uttered the completely random question:<br/><br/>“Is that a homemade bento?”<br/><br/>BELLEROPHON<br/>Content to simply stay to the side and hope both boys forgot he was there; Bellerophon avoided the awkward situation by losing himself to his thoughts and wished he was in his room watching anime instead. He didn’t understand why their accidental kiss seemed to upset the random boy so much. In fact, Bellerophon felt he should be the one crying over the kiss, Trixxtal being the last person he would ever want to give his first kiss to. Or any person, really, because there was no point since the only interest he would ever have are anime characters that were not real. <br/><br/>But then, Bellerophon eyed the object the newcomer carried and his one track mind once again struck. <br/><br/>“Is that a homemade bento?” he asked the dark haired boy, amazed that he had met somebody who actually made one. Bellerophon’s first conclusion was maybe he was interested in anime too! The container looked clearly different that the school brand, from this distance Bellerophon could see the hand drawn hearts decorated on it.<br/><br/>“Er...Y-yes?” the boy answered him confused and Bellerophon looked at him in awe.<br/><br/>“Amazing!” he beamed, smiling at him. But then Bellerophon remembered that the bento boy was crying, and wondered if he had been rejected by his senpai. Maybe that was why he couldn’t stop crying. “Did you make it for someone?” he spoke gently, because if it was true, in Bellerophon’s opinion a crush rejecting a bento made with the protagonist’s heart and soul  was one of the most heartbreaking things ever in high school anime.<br/><br/>JECHT<br/>Maybe Jecht would have believed Trixxtal if he and the boy explained things. But instead, the explanation was dodged. He had no idea why the boy avoided the question, but the only thing that made sense to Jecht was he was maybe trying to hide the truth by distracting him. He felt anxious at the thought of Trixxtal lying to him about kissing, or maybe he had done even more. “Yes, for my boyfriend…” he wept, his finger shakily pointed at Trixxtal as he resisted the temptation to toss away the food he made for him. The thought of him not being able to give the bento to Trixxtal earlier, because his boyfriend was too busy kissing the blond guy made the tears return with full force.<br/><br/>“Huh? I thought you had been rejected…You’re his boyfriend?” asked the befuddled blond, who looked back and forth between Jecht and Trixxtal.<br/><br/>“A-apparently not!” he cried, misunderstanding Bellerophon’s tactless words. Jecht did not want to deal with this anymore; he could not handle situations like this. He wished Fenrir was here to support him. And like an angel answering his prayer, Jecht heard the voice of his best friend and felt relieved that Fenrir had suddenly arrived. <br/><br/>“Fenrir, I saw…I saw those two k-kissing!” he sobbed, quickly latching onto Fenrir as he arrived, “Trixxtal said it was an accident, but I…I don’t know what to believe anymore!”<br/><br/>ETHAN<br/>At the arrival of a fourth person Ethan too resigned to his fate alongside Rodrigo. Unless they could jump off the roof, they would be forced to continue watching these over dramatic teenagers for the rest of the lunch period.  “Hopefully a fight doesn’t start…” he sighed, the memory of the prefect barging into the classroom with the giant rule book suddenly returning to him, “Er, or would it be another dance off?” Ethan wondered not for the first time today if this was how high school worked in their home world and if so, underestimated how weird school could be. <br/><br/>“So was it really an accident or is the douchebag just lying to that poor guy? I couldn’t tell.” he asked Rodrigo, figuring they might as well talk about the ridiculous situation they were watching. Ethan himself couldn’t tell what really happened with that kiss but he did think it was incredible coincidentally timed for it to happen right as the douchebag’s boyfriend appeared. “And I don’t even know what that other blond guy is talking about.”<br/><br/>TOUDA &amp; CEPHEUS &amp; LUCIFEL<br/><br/>Cepheus contemplated his failure to successfully distract Jecht. He didn’t expect those two to last long anyways, but Cepheus prided himself in winning games, and this was a gamble he lost. He sighed; he really disliked losing any challenge.  “Maybe there’s some way to salvage things? I can go after him and if he’s caught just tell Jecht that Trixxtal wanted to do something romantic for him, and he was just practicing on…whoever is there on the roof with him.” He suggested half-heartedly, giving up on the idea quickly. “Or not, haha, that will never work! Yup, looks like he is screwed.”<br/><br/>“What’s wrong with Trixxtal and Jecht?” Touda curiously asked, and it was Lucifel who responded.<br/><br/>“Vampire Trixxtal is enchanted by the beauty of one of hell’s denizens, and if he is found drinking his blood, his relationship will be in turmoil as the heart of his beloved breaks!” he boomed, petting Tapioco on the head as he spoke.<br/><br/>Touda simply nodded at the explanation, getting from the words that Jecht might not like someone Trixxtal was hanging out with. “Oh, ok! I’ll set aside an extra pizza slice for Trixxtal then. Jecht too.” He concluded, pizza being his solution to most problems.<br/><br/>The three joined the moment of silence, and Touda joined in with Mizuki’s prayer.</div></div>"

Sam was driving his closest friend, Stevie, to the forest south of Fairfax, to their usual spot for when they wanted to get away from the city. They tended to avoid the common tourist trails and instead went to more secluded areas. Both of them were rather fond of nature, so hikes such as these were fairly common for them.<br/><br/>Sam had known Stevie for most of his life, as they were childhood friends. It was a relief to him when he learned she was attending the same college as himself, and that she was willing to be his roommate, both because it meant he would be able to split the substantial costs of living alone, and because he wouldn't have to say his goodbyes to her. For obvious reasons, they had been spending a lot more time together since moving to Fairfax, so they were even closer now than before. He would be lying to himself if he didn't admit he felt something...more for her, but he had not yet said anything about it, mostly because of his own fears.<br/><br/>Sam smiled and glanced over to Stevie, though he quickly shifted his attention back to the road. ""So, where shall we go today? I doubt we will find anything as exciting as that fox we saw last time, but still. If we keep a good pace, we could make it to the river to the far side of the forest, or we could just head off in a random direction."""

She checked her pocket to make sure she had her phone on her just in case they got lost and they needed to call someone for help. ""This is so much fun dont you think Sam"" she said looking out the window as they started to drive towards the forest excitement in her very very light blue eyes. She always loved the woods and if she had her way she would live in it, but knew she couldn't since it was always dangerous especially at night."

There are all sorts of creatures that live so close to the city, but we never see them. I think it would be fun to go on an actual camping trip sometime, though we'd need to buy the supplies for it. We would also need a place to put it all; we're kind of light on storage space in our apartment. With the semester ending, though, we should have time."" Sam suggested as he pulled off the road, driving along the trail toward the place he intended to park. He stopped his car in a small clearing just out of sight of the road and parked. They weren't exactly on any ""official"" trails, but he was at least mostly certain it wasn't illegal to be there. Regardless, no one had ever bothered them before, so he felt safe enough leaving his car there, with the doors locked, of course.<br/><br/>Sam got out of the car and grabbed a small backpack from the back seat, filled with a few snacks just in case they got hungry. As usual, he also carried his sidearm holstered with him, just in case they ran into a dangerous creature while on the trail. They did see a bear in the distance once, but they had never actually been in danger at any point during their hikes. Still, he thought it was best to be safe. Once Stevie was out, he locked the doors, then motioned for her to take the lead as he walked alongside her. ""So, how have things been going for you? I took my last final yesterday, and I think I did reasonably well. English is always an annoying class, and I wish it wasn't required, but I think I did fine."""

""But other than I am doing just find I am close to getting straight A's except I have a C in Art"" she said looking at him. ""If you ever need help with English I can help you"""

I could let you read my papers for peer review and such. I would definitely appreciate the help."" Sam responded, following alongside Stevie as she selected a path for them to follow. The air out in the forest felt altogether much cleaner than that of the city, and the scenery was much more comfortable to him. A city like D.C was definitely impressive in its own right, but being raised in a rural area, he had much more of an appreciation for natural beauty, especially after being in an urban area for so long. ""As for art, I would love to help, but you are a better artist than myself, so there isn't too much I can do, unless you're trying to get me to be the model."" Sam responded jokingly, nudging her shoulder slightly with his elbow."

""If you would be willing to be my model"" she said giggling nudging him back. The sounds of a bush moving made Stevie jump and looked down at it thinking something was bad inside before a rabbit came jumping out of it making her relax and smile. ""Would that was a surprised dont you think Sam"" she asked looking at her childhood friend."
2802,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-03-18 22:47:00,EliteCommander,"Sam watched the rabbit scurry away after they startled it out of the nearby bush it had been hiding in. ""I think it was a bit more surprised than us, being that two giants just walked up to it."" He said with a chuckle. The two continued on through the forest for a short distance until they passed a rather colorful, brilliant looking dogwood tree.<br/><br/>They stopped for a moment to observe the tree when Sam spotted a bit of movement at its base. Curious, he walked around the base of the tree and spotted the source of the movement: a Garter snake. It was small, and mostly black with a light stripe down its back. Sam knelt down at a safe distance and looked over the creature, which was coiled up near a rock. ""Come and look at this; it's a garter snake."" He said, waving for her to approach."

""Wow that is amazing"" she took out a camera and took a picture of it, there was no flash on since she turned it off when she first got it. ""Its a fresh camera I want to have plenty of pictures of the woods so we will have these memories forever"" she said smiling at him. She heard a hoo and she looked up to see an owl there and she took a picture of that. ""I love the wounds so much Sam...I wish that we can live here without the possibilities of any dangers"""
2804,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-03-19 22:02:00,EliteCommander,"Sam laughed as he leaned up against the tree. ""I do love it out here, though I don't know if I would go that far. After all, I can't get internet access out here."" He said before a thought popped into his head and he pulled out his smartphone. ""Or, well, I can access the internet, but...that's beside the point.""<br/><br/>Sam used his phone to take a picture of the snake, then took a picture of Stevie. He smiled as he put away his phone, but on the inside, he was practically yelling at himself to say something to her. He wished he could just bring himself to say something to her about how he really felt about her, but his own fear and nervousness always seemed to get the better of him. This would be the perfect time and place to mention it, but as always, he was just going to end up saying nothing.<br/><br/>Sam sat down next to the tree, then pulled off his backpack and placed it beside him. He took a banana out of the pack for himself, then looked to Stevie. ""I brought snacks, if you would like one."" He offered."
2805,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-03-19 22:51:00,Luna,"""Sure I would love one"" she said smiling and sat down by him putting on a furry white coat to keep herself from getting cold as she looked up at the canopy of the trees. She looked over at him and took the snack that he was offering her and started to eat. ""We should do this often Sam, I feel so much at peace away from the bustling city"" she said smiling more at him. She tried not to blush at the sight of him and felt her heart speed up. She had strong feelings for him and had for a very long time and she was too shy to say anything"
2806,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-03-19 23:08:00,EliteCommander,"""Agreed, and with summer coming up, we should have the time to. We could go camping out here, or even take a trip someplace even more impressive. I don't have too much money in the bank, but I would submit as much to the cause as I could."" Sam said before quickly finishing off his banana. He leaned back a bit, putting his hands behind his head and relaxing as he looked out across the forest. He glanced to his left when he heard movement in the bushes, but after seeing nothing for a few moments, he turned back to Stevie.<br/><br/>""What about you? Should we come to this forest again, or go someplace else? Maybe take a trip to one of the big national forests or parks? I would be up for anything."" He asked."

She tensed when she heard more movement coming from the same bush and looked towards it. ""Perhaps we should start walking again"" she said nervously starting to get a bad feeling that something and it showed when she started to bite her thumb nail, a sure sign that she was getting that feeling."

Maybe we can see if we can find that river."" Sam said as he stood up. He offered Stevie his hand and helped pull her up, but as he did, he too heard the rustling in the bushes nearby. As he shifted his attention in that direction, time seemed to stop when he laid eyes on the being that was emerging from the shadows. It was large: taller than himself and much more massive. It stood hunched over on two legs, had rough black fur, long claws, and a fearsome set of teeth. He could hear a low growl emanating from its maw, which altogether struck fear in Sam's heart. Instinctively, he reached for his handgun and pointed it at the creature, which did not stop its slow walk towards the pair. He could have swore he saw a smirk on its wolfish face.<br/><br/>The relative silence was broken when Sam fired three shots in rapid succession, all of which struck the beast in the torso. Surprisingly, however, the creature did not seem phased in the slightest. It bled much less than Sam would have expected, and it almost seemed like the bullet wounds were closing before his eyes. ""Run!"" Sam shouted to Stevie just before the creature let out a deafening roar. It fell into a sprint on all fours toward the pair. Sam was only able to fire a single shot which missed before it reached him, smacking him aside into a nearby tree and continuing to chase down Stevie."
2809,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-03-20 16:42:00,Luna,"""SAM"" she cried out as she saw him go flying into a nearby tears tears in her eyes as she continued to run trying to lose the monster that was chasing her. ""HELP"" she called out hoping someone may have been in the woods like her and her friend was. As she ran she began to get tired, her chest was expanding and deflating over and over due to her heart pounding, trying to pump more blood into her body. She could feel the adrenaline rushing through her body and she could hear the pounding paws of the wolf -like creature behind her making tears come to her eyes as she went into a circle trying to get back to her friend."
2810,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-03-20 17:09:00,EliteCommander,"Sam had the breath knocked out of him when he hit the tree, but he was not seriously hurt yet. As soon as he was able, he looked around the base of the tree and, fortunately, found his gun. However, no sooner did he find it than did he see Stevie running towards him with the beast fast approaching from behind. It was far faster than either of them, so it seemed hopeless that they would actually be able to get away.<br/><br/>Sam aimed his pistol, but could not shoot without risking hitting Stevie. After only a few seconds, the beast pounced on top of her, forcing Sam to take the risk. He took the shot, and by sheer luck, it hit the creature square in the head. And yet, somehow, it did not die. It hardly seemed hurt, though it definitely seemed angry. It looked up and growled before rushing at him. He fired two more shots which did nothing before the beast was upon him. It tackled him to the ground and slashed twice across his torso with its massive claws, leading to four massive gashes which immediately started to pour blood. He put his arms up to shield his face, but that did not stop it from clamping down on his forearm with its powerful jaws, ripping through his muscles and crushing the bone. Once it had done sufficient damage, it stopped its attack and turned toward Stevie, stepping on his leg in the process with its full weight, fracturing his femur in the process. Within only the span of a few seconds, it had pounced on her as well. Sam did not know why it has stopped before killing him. Perhaps it did not want Stevie to escape while it was finishing him off? Regardless, he was not going to squander the opportunity to stop that thing from killing her. He grabbed the gun next to him and, through a mixture of adrenaline and sheer willpower, attempted to bring himself up to his feet."

She could see the pouring blood from her friend's wound and tears poured form her eyes as she screamed. She cried as she struggled against the big creature and gasped when she felt his claw rank across her stomach roughly causing her blood to splatter everywhere around her making her screams of panic turn into screams of pain. She was already exhausted from her running and the struggling was only making it worst.<br/><br/>""SAM!"" she screamed as she started to see black dots enter her vision."

The adrenaline numbed the pain he felt in his leg as he stumbled over to her. His left arm, which was his dominant one, had been broken by the creature's bite, so he held his gun in his right hand as he approached and did his best to keep it steady. His Glock had a 17 round magazine, but he had fired quite a few shots already and was not sure how many he had left.Tears came to his eyes as he saw the beast tearing into her with its claws and teeth while she tried in vain to resist. Once he was close enough to actually hit it only using one hand, he fired, which of course did not kill it, but it at least pulled its attention away from Stevie.<br/><br/>""GET OFF OF HER!"" He yelled, firing another two shots, both of which missed. The beast readily complied, jumping off of her and pouncing on him once more. He managed to keep his grip on his pistol, but the creature was already going for the kill. It slashed his chest once more with its claws, then opened its jaws wide to go for his throat. In a last ditch effort to survive, Sam shoved his hand which was holding the pistol into the creature's mouth, pressed the barrel against the roof of its mouth, and pulled the trigger three times. Each shot penetrated through the bottom of the beast's skull and entered its brain. The rounds could not penetrate the thick, front part of the skull, so they bounced around inside its skull, doing even more damage. Sam's right hand had been badly cut up in the creature's mouth, but when the beast's lifeless body fell limp beside him, he knew it was worth it.<br/><br/>With the beast finally dead, Sam used all of the strength he could muster to crawl over to Stevie, as he could no longer bring himself to his feet. Both of them were covered in dirt and blood, with open wounds that were gushing forth even more blood. He was staring to feel lightheaded, but he refused to give up yet. He brought himself up to his knees next to Stevie and looked over her rather gruesome wounds. Placing his hand on her cheek, he looked her in the eyes as tears formed in his own. ""Don't die, please don't die. I can't lose you."" He said in a pleading tone, attempting to put his arms under her and lift her off of the ground, only to collapse next to her himself. ""I can't lose you."" He repeated, sobbing for a few moments before finally slipping into unconsciousness."

She turned her head with much difficulty to look at her equally bloody friend and started to weep weakly, allowing her slowly paling hand to touch his head to play with his hair once last time.<br/><br/>""S s so t this i is h how w we d die h huh"" she said to herself and only silence met with her words. She gave a bitter smile as the black dots in her eyes began to grow more and more. She gave once last look to her friend before her eyes closed and she fell into the black depths of sleep not knowing that their wounds were currently healing at a very fast rate. The next morning Stevie opened her eyes as the sunlight shined in her face causing her to wince. She carefully sat up making sure no to josile her still sleeping friend and she looked down at her exposed stomach when her eyes widened in shock. She shook her friend her shock growing.<br/><br/>""Sam wake up wake up Sam"" she called out shaking him wildly"""

At first, he was confused on where he was or what was going on, but as his memory returned to him, his eyes shot open. The very first thing he saw was her beautiful face, which immediately filled him with relief. Glancing around, he could see that their clothes were still torn from the beast's slashes and they were still covered in blood, but their wounds were, somehow, nowhere to be seen. Despite the situation, he couldn't help but to smile and throw his arms around her, hugging her tightly.<br/><br/>""I'm so glad you're alive. I don't think I could have gone on without you. I don't know how or why, but we're both still alive, and that's all that matters."" Sam said as he sat up. His muscles still ached, but he was otherwise fine. He had no idea how any of this was possible, but as he looked at Stevie, he remembered the fear and pain which shot through him the previous day as he watched her get torn apart by that monster. He remembered every regret he felt for the things he had not said to her, but now, it seemed, he was getting a second chance to set things right.<br/><br/>""Stevie, I....there is something I want to tell you. I don't know how it is possible that we're even alive, but I clearly remember what happened yesterday. I remember seeing your broken body and feeling utter terror at what might happen to you. I remember regretting that I never told you how much I care about you, and I don't think I can go a moment longer without saying it. I care about you far more than just as a friend. Do you...feel the same way? Do you want us to be a couple?"" He asked, looking her in the eyes with a few tears forming in his own. He didn't care if it seemed strange to ask her now, of all times, as he could not bring himself to go any longer without saying it."

""Oh Sam I wanted you for years and when I saw you get attacked, I was so afraid that I would never be able to confess to you how much I love you. I would love to date you"" she said smiling down at him still on top of her tears welling in her eyes as her mind went back to the night they were attacked and nearly killed."
2816,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-03-21 16:41:00,EliteCommander,"""Oh thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me."" Sam smiled, ecstatic at the amazing news Stevie had given her. For a moment, all of his worries and fears seemed to vanish as he reached up and hugged her around the neck, giving her a second, longer kiss. After a few moments of holding one another, Sam finally sat up and looked around, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. ""So, um, I guess we should try to figure out what on Earth is going on.""<br/><br/>When he finally turned his attention to the body of the beast, he nearly lost his lunch. The creature was still there, but it had decayed to the point that nearly half of it was exposed skeleton. While Sam was not an expert on decomposition, even he recognized that this thing was decaying unnaturally quickly. He stood up, albeit reluctantly, as he did not want to let go of Stevie. ""That thing is...disgusting. What is it, even? It almost looks like a werewolf or something."" He observed."

She gasped and dropped the book. ""Um Sam...that thing is a werewolf"" she said in somewhat shock looking at the decaying werewolf and then her face cringe in disgust noticing the flies on the rotten flesh. She picked her book up and continued to read. ""Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god"" she said once she reached the part of what happens after people are attacked by a werewolf"

He looked over her shoulder at the beast and shook his head. ""No, there is no way that could be true. Werewolves are mythology, stories created by superstitious people during the middle ages. This is...well I still don't know what this is, but there's no way it could be some myth."" He said, trying to rationalize the experience. Although he did not realize it consciously, the infection had already worked its way into his very being. He was too distracted to notice, but both he and Stevie had gained significant muscle mass, and their senses were much more acute. Unfortunately for them, it would not be long before the beasts within took hold and they underwent their first transformation.<br/><br/>""Maybe...maybe we should just get back to the car. Go home, get cleaned up, get a new change of clothes, and try to forget this ever happened. I really don't want to stay around that...thing any longer."" He suggested, eying the rotting corpse."

""I am getting a headache from all this"" she said putting the book up and picked up her bags. She blinked and let her nose twitch before she shook her head and stood full straight up.""I sure hope people dont ask about the bloody and ripped clothing though Sam"" she said looking at her new boyfriend looking at his ripped clothing and then at her own."

It's a good thing our apartment is on the first floor. If we're lucky, we might be able to get to our room without anyone seeing us. I would rather not have to explain what happened."" Sam commented, picking up his handgun from next to the beast, then heading back towards the car with Stevie. Fortunately, they had been close enough to the dogwood tree that Sam knew his way back to the car, so they would not be lost in the forest, though his phone had GPS, even if they were. As traumatic as their experience had been, he could not help but to be excited to spend time with his new girlfriend. Hopefully, they would be able to forget the terrors they experienced, although he doubted they would be heading out on any more hikes any time soon.<br/><br/>For a while, their walk back was peaceful. No more creatures bothered them and they were actually able to talk. There was a lot about the situation that did not make sense, but Sam was not thinking about those issues at the moment, as he was focused on Stevie. Slowly, however, something started to shift within Sam's mind. The scents and sounds of the small animals around them were...enticing. They excited the primal part of his mind that the infection had created, causing the urge to hunt to swell up within him. He did not understand what was going on at first, but by the time they were halfway back to the car, Sam had developed a splitting headache. At first he thought it might have had something to do with blood loss, but then the pain suddenly and violently spread to the rest of his body without warning. He fell to his knees, clutching his head and gritting his teeth. ""Ahhh, what's happening to me?"" He shouted in pain, not knowing that Stevie was going through the very same thing. The pain swelled up within him as his bones started to crack and reform. His muscles increased even further in size, along with the rest of his body. Fur began to form across his body, his snout lengthened, and a tail began to grow. He ripped out of his clothing as his size increased, the pain continuing until the transformation finally completed. As he let out a deafening roar, his ability to remember what was happening diminished.<br/><br/>Sam's memory of the events after the transformation consisted only of blurry images and faint ideas. He and Stevie, now in their wolf forms, had ran off in search of prey. They hunted together, though Sam could not recall what they killed. Eventually, with their beasts' satisfied, they stopped, transformed back into their normal forms, then passed once more into unconsciousness.<hr/>When Sam awoke, he found himself even more confused than before. As he sat up, he saw that it was dark, but strangely, he could see a lot better than he would have thought. Looking around, he immediately noticed that both he and Stevie, who was unconscious nearby, were naked, but with what had just happened to him, even that wasn't on the forefront of his mind. He had no idea where in the forest they were, and his memory of what happened after his transformation was spotty at best. He could, however, remember vividly the events leading up to the transformation. He remembered the pain of his body reshaping itself into its terrible new form. Although he was still greatly confused on what was going on or what they should do, there was one thing he could no longer deny: Stevie was right, they were now werewolves.<br/><br/>""S-Stevie, are you alright?"" He asked, his tone fearful."

She stopped briefly to touch her head as she felt her head was spitting into two. She whimpered nearly wanting to scream as the pain got worse making her unable to stand and fall to her knees. She cried out as her body began to heat up like it was on fire and she continued to scream as her skin slowly grew fur painfully. The tailbone popped painfully making her screams get so loud they echoed for miles and miles but none which reached the busy loud city.<br/><br/>Soon the screams turned into roars as her transformation into a werewolf was completed and she stood up growling at her partner before running off after him to go hunt, the thrill heating up her blood and soon caught a unexpected boar killing it slowly eating the flesh the blood soaking the fur of her muzzle and her nose. Once her beast side was satisfied, it allowed her to return human. Once she was in back in human form she passed out naked as the day she was born.<br/><br/>Stevie woke up hearing the fear in her boyfriend's voice and her eyes snapped opened sitting up too quickly causing her to hold her blank mind not noticing that she was naked at all. ""S Sam what is wrong what the hell happened to us"" she asked looking at him"

Sam responded, propping himself up against a nearby tree and looking around. It was dark, though somehow, he could see just fine, but he was exhausted and still shivering from the cold. ""I remember such incredible pain as I transformed, then everything goes a bit fuzzy. I remember we were hunting together, then we killed something, and somehow we ended up here. I...don't know where we are. I don't see any landmarks, and my memory is too foggy to remember how we got here. I honestly have no idea how to get back.""<br/><br/>As he began to calm down, he became much more aware of Stevie's current state of dress, as well as his own. His cheeks flushed red with embarrassment at the situation, though the cold may have also played a role in that. He tried to keep himself from staring, but he couldn't keep himself from looking at her. Thankfully, the dire nature of the situation helped to distract him. ""I think I'm fine, though. I'm still covered in dried blood, but I don't think I'm hurt. What about you?"""

She finally was aware of their state of dress and couldn't help looking up and down her boyfriend's body and began flushed in red. She shook off the dirty thoughts and looked around. ""Now what love...we have no clothes now and we don't know where we are"" she said the cold getting to her and she shivered."

Sam said, drawing his knees in close to himself and rubbing his hands over his arms to try and keep himself warm. ""I have no idea how to get back to the car, and if we go off in a random direction, we could end up going deeper into the forest. I don't know what to do to get back to the...or wait, actually I think I have an idea. There is a river that cuts through the forest. Provided we didn't run too far and cross it, it should be to the west. I've been to that river before, so if we follow it long enough, we should be able to get to somewhere I recognize, and I can get us back to the car. I just...I don't know which way west is. I'll know once the sun rises, but who knows how long that will be. Ah, I wish it wasn't so cold."""

Before today, he had never seriously feared for his life before, but now he was faced with the prospect of freezing to death in the middle of the night, a situation he was certainly unprepared for. ""I don't know where anything like that would be. There aren't many things out here with which to keep warm. I mean, we have each other, but...well, with our, uh, current state of dress, that would be, uh, well..."" He said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly and practically sweating with embarrassment. On the bring side, his embarrassment definitely helped him feel warmer, at least.<br/><br/>""There's...also that boar over there. I've heard you can...cover yourself in a dead animals...entrails to keep warm, but..."" He began, almost gagging at the thought of it. They really did not have many good options, and certainly no comfortable ones."

She was smaller than himself, and would certainly be experiencing the cold that much more harshly. ""O-Okay."" He said finally as he crawled over to her. He hesitantly put his arms around her, then laid down on the ground beside her, holding her tightly in an attempt to conserve warmth. Despite the general awkwardness of the situation, it was a definite improvement. It was not an instant cure for the problem, as he still felt cold, but it was at least more bearable now. Of course, there was another part of his mind that was glad to be holding her for an entirely different reason, but he did his best to ignore it.<br/><br/>Sam was silent for a few long moments, not really knowing what to say that wouldn't make the situation more awkward. ""Are you...alright?"" He asked again, at least wanting to know if she felt warm enough for the moment."

Sam said, closing his eyes and trying to empty his mind enough to get to sleep. His mind kept going back to Stevie and the excitement he felt from holding her so closely, but the sheer exhaustion he felt eventually pushed him to sleep.<hr/>Sam awoke the next morning with the sun shining into his eyes, its rays warming his body to a much more agreeable temperature than the previous night. His heart raced once he opened his eyes and saw Stevie beside him, but after a moment, he remembered the events that put them in that position. For a few moments, he wanted nothing more than to stay in that position forever, to continue holding her tightly in his grasp. Eventually, however, he relented and started to try and get his arm out from underneath her, an act that would certainly awaken her."

Sam said giving her a smile as he brought himself to his feet. As much as he wanted to stay and hold her, he still felt nervous in doing so. As he stood over her, reaching down to offer her his hand, he could not help but to look over her body, which he could now see more clearly in the daylight. Even though she was covered in dried blood, he still found her beautiful, which caused his heart rate to accelerate a bit as he looked at her. He no longer felt quite as much embarrassment as he did the night before, but it was still going to take a lot of getting used to for him to be calm while around her in this state. It was probably going to take all day to get home, so it was something he would have to find a way to deal with."

""Good morning handsome"" she got up and looked at her blood crusted body with some disgust. ""We need baths...badly before we go back home"" she said looking up at her boyfriend. ""Lets go look for a river or a hot spring to bath before going to find our car maybe we will find big enough leaves to cover our bodies"" she said blushing when she saw they were still naked but that didnt stop her from looking up and down her boyfriend's body"

One thing he was now noticing about both of them was that they were significantly more muscular than before; perhaps one of the changes that went along with being a werewolf. If it weren't for how frightening it all was, he might have even been happy with it,.<br/><br/>Sam gave a slight chuckle. ""I don't know if leaves will help us get home. I think it would be best just to not be seen. Besides, we would need string or something to tie it all together. I wish I had clothes in my car, but unfortunately, I didn't foresee it being an issue. But..."" He began, letting out a deep breath. ""...I can be mature about this. We have both been forced into this situation, and we will need to work together to get out of it. I mean, we have no reason to be embarrassed, right? I think you're attractive, you think I'm attractive, there is no reason to be ashamed. We can head west until we reach the river and wash ourselves off before heading south. Then, hopefully, we'll get to a place I recognize and we can get back to the car. From there, we'll just need to find a way to get back to our apartment without being seen."" He said, trying to bring his mind into a mentality that would stop him from staring at Stevie constantly. No matter how much he wanted to."

She ehard thunder in the distance with her slightly enhanced hearing. ""Its looks like it might not be happening today, I heard a storm coming it will be heard in possibly 15 minutes"" she said looking at her boyfriend. It was noticeable her hair was slightly longer and looked more thicker like fur."

I hope it doesn't start raining; I don't know what we will do if it does. It's not like there are any caves around here, the best we could do for shelter would be a tree, maybe one with a lot of leaves."" Sam commented. His eyes quickly looked over her body once more before he took her hand and looked off to the west. ""I...guess we should go.""<br/><br/>Using the position of the sun to gain their bearings, the two walked along to the west, towards where Sam predicted the river would be. His gave kept passing back and forth between the sky, and Stevie. By this point, he no longer really felt embarrassed by his own state of dress, at least, so most of his discomfort came from worry about the weather. A heavy downpour could potentially cause them to freeze to death if they didn't seek shelter. Some of the trees had thick canopies, so they would help some, but it would still get pretty cold.<br/><br/>After about half an hour, it still had not started raining, but the clouds had rolled in and were dark overhead. Thankfully, Sam's fear about the situation was lessened slightly when he heard the unmistakable sound of flowing water nearby. He looked at Stevie with an overjoyed expression; if they knew where the river was, then it meant he would be able to find their way back. He practically ran towards the source of the sound, still holding tightly onto Stevie's hand. They crested a small hill, revealing the river before them in all its majesty. With a smile wide across his face, Sam turned to Stevie and gave her a hug, momentarily not caring about their state of dress. When he finally pulled away from her, he looked at her with a bright smile still on his face. ""There it is!. We're going to get home. It might take a while, but we're getting home. Do you still want to take the chance to wash the blood off?"" He asked, still somewhat concerned about the clouds above."

Hearing his question she nodded. ""Yes cause if we do make it home the people will see the blood and think we killed someone, not something and I dont want the police to hound us about who we killed when all we killed was a boar"" she said. She walked up to the river and dipped her foot it. Surprisingly, it was warm. ""Hey the water is warm hurry lets take a bath the smell of rain is getting stronger and we need to hurry"" she said before diving in the boar's blood rising from her body before dissipating for good. She rose out from under the water flipping her hair back water flying everywhere. It was almost a slow motion picture to behold if any other people saw this.<br/><br/>She looked at the Sam and smiled water dripping down her naked body. ""Come join me, the water is warm"" she said motioned him over winking at him before disappearing under the water again swimming around. The river was about 30 ft wide and about 50 feet deep so it was more than enough room to swim around and bath."

If it was difficult for him not to stare before, it was impossible now. He had a hard time thinking of something to say, not that it would have mattered since she was now underwater, so he simply waded out into the river. It did indeed feel warm enough for a river, so he was not uncomfortable. He dove under the water as well and took a few moments to clean the blood from his body before looking once again to his girlfriend. He couldn't help but to stare, and it was fairly obvious he was doing so. He smiled, appreciating her beauty for a few moments before he had to return to the surface for air.<br/><br/>Swimming over to her, his expression showed that he was in a generally upbeat mood. ""You know, I've said it before, but I believe I should say it again. You are incredibly beautiful, both in how you look, and who you are."" He said with a smile before wrapping his arms around her neck and giving her a kiss."

He climbed out as well, giving a worried look to the sky. The rain was light for the moment, and therefore bearable, but if it started to rain much harder, there was no way they would be able to keep moving on. Still, as he approached her, he kept an optimistic smile on his face. ""Indeed, since you like it so much, maybe I should just stay like this all the time, then. It feels nice to have your eyes on me."" He joked, returning her wink before turning his eyes to the sky once more, his expression turning more serious.<br/><br/>""I admit, I'm concerned about the rain though. If we're close to where I think we are, it's still going to take most of the day to get back to our car. If it starts raining much harder, we will have to find some place to take shelter, maybe look for a tree with a thick canopy to wait it out? It might not feel like it now, but if this turns to a downpour, we could freeze to death."" He commented, his face showing he was concerned."

The rain was light for a while, but it did eventually start to pick up a bit. Sam started to feel some of the cold creeping into his body, so he put an arm around Stevie and walked close alongside her to share at least some of their warmth. He started to grow more uncomfortable not just because of the rain, but also because of the simple fact that he did not have shoes. He wasn't used to walking barefoot outside, so the sticks and rocks he was stepping on caused them to grow sore. It wasn't a problem he would normally even think about, but it was getting harder for him to walk. Add to that the rain which was steadily growing in strength, and he seriously doubted that they would be able to make it back before having to stop. The good news was that he was starting to recognize the area they were in and, after a few more minutes, they spotted the bridge.<br/><br/>""Well, it looks like you were right about the bridge, but...it's still going to take hours to get back to the car from here. The rain is starting to pick up, and I'm starting to feel cold. We could try to make it back to the car in the rain, or...you see that spot on the river bank where the bridge passes over it? It looks pretty dry there, we could try to wait out the storm there. I don't know, what do you think?"" He asked."

He sat down beside her, putting his arm around her and pulling her close so they could share body heat, just as they had last night. Given how humid it was, it would take some time for them to dry, but at least the bridge was protecting them from the rain.<br/><br/>""You know, I enjoy being this close to you."" Sam commented, placing a hand on her cheek and rubbing her back with the other. ""I mean, I know we have a lot to worry about. In the short term, we have to get home and to our apartment without being arrested for indecent exposure, and beyond that...we're werewolves now, as crazy as that sounds to say. I honestly don't know how to deal with that, but...I'm glad to be facing it with you. I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather have at my side. Even now, being caught naked and cold under a bridge out in the middle of the forest, just looking at you gives me hope. Maybe, just maybe everything will be okay."" He ran his hand through her hair for a few moments before giving her another kiss, this one being much more passionate."

She pulled back ""I am glad my love, I dont think I could ever handle something like this by myself or with someone. It might take some time to get used to the idea of being werewolves but we have to live with it. Sure our lives may have changed for good but think, we wont have to worry about losing each other any time soon since we heal faster than normal"" she said softly getting on his lap carefully her eyes full of love for him"

There was desire in his eyes, but he was nervous, as evidenced by how fast his heart was beating.<br/><br/>""I never want to lose you, and no matter what comes our way, I won't let it happen. Whether it is people with guns, other werewolves, or just the cold air, we'll face it together. I don't know how long we'll be stuck under this bridge, but as long as we hold each other close, we'll be fine."" He said as he started to rub her back.

The sound of rain only seemed to be growing stronger, which made him definitely not regret the choice of staying under the bridge. The storm was a veritable downpour, punctuated by flashes of lightning and the roar of thunder. Sam hoped it would not last too long, but he could think of worse situations to be in than his present one.<br/><br/>As Stevie kissed him, he found himself excited and nervous at the same time. His heart was racing, as she could no doubt feel. He loved her, and was afraid for their prospects of getting home not because he was worried about himself, but because he was afraid for her well-being. Still, his thoughts about the situation could not be denied, what the look in his eyes said could not be mistaken. He looked into her eyes with a light smile, but was obviously incredibly nervous. ""So...s-should we....you know?"" He began as he looked across her body, unsure of how to continue his question."

He was a bit concerned about how clean the water was before he started thinking on how his lycanthropy might change how his body would react to disease. Werewolf stories were diverse, and he did not know which ones would apply to them. In some, they were almost normal apart from their lycan forms, while in others, they had abilities that really set them apart from humans. He wondered if diseases would even effect him anymore. Regardless, for the moment, there was nothing he could do to test his theories, so he simply returned to Stevie and sat down beside her.<br/><br/>Sam put an arm around her waist and rested his other hand on her shoulder. He smiled as he stared into her eyes. Despite the downpour of rain, despite the cracks of thunder that could be heard every minute or so, everything seemed peaceful while he was with her.

If we think we're going to have a problem with transforming, we...we can come out here again. Out in the wilds, obviously with more supplies. Hopefully it won't be necessary, but if it is, that would at least be a short term solution. Long term...I have no idea. Maybe...well, we were attacked by a werewolf, so there are obviously others out there. Maybe not all of them are so aggressive? I have no idea how we would find them though."" Sam responded, running his hands down his face as he was overwhelmed by problems he couldn't solve.<br/><br/>Letting out a sigh, he stood to his feet and reached down to help Stevie up.

It was rare that anyone actually came out to this part of the forest, so hopefully, no one had disturbed his car. ""I don't know how helpful the internet will be on this. Werewolf stories and myths are all over the place on what they can do. How can we know which ones are true, and which are just fantasy? I mean, two days ago, I would have said they were all fantasy. Since it is night right now and I can still see, I'm guessing low-light vision is one of our abilities. Not to mention strength. It's fairly obvious that this transformation put a lot of muscle on both of us."" He said with a bit of a smile as he put a hand on her rather firm abs, although, his expression quickly turned more serious. ""It's just...this is all so stressful. I think the important part is that we need to be careful. Let's try not to put ourselves in situations where we cannot easily escape.

Sam responded.<br/><br/>Eventually, the pair reached Sam's car, much to his relief. Everything looked just like he remembered leaving it. Looking into its windows, he checked to make sure nothing had been disturbed or stolen, though at this point, as long as he could get the car running, he would be happy. It was fortunate for them that Sam had not thought it necessary to lock the car or take his keys for what was supposed to be a short walk through the forest. Perhaps it had not been the smartest strategy to keep the car safe, but it was serving them well now.<br/><br/>""Oh, what a relief. Maybe the universe isn't conspiring against us after all. I have never been so glad to see this ugly old car in my life. Get in, and we can see about getting home."" Sam got into the drivers seat and waited a moment for Stevie to get in the passenger side.

The road wasn't too heavily populated, but he still looked nervously at every car around him. He was sure to obey every single traffic law, going exactly the speed limit and making no moves that could be considered reckless, despite how nervous he was.<br/><br/>Eventually, Sam turned off of the interstate and towards their apartment. The area they lived wasn't too densely populated, and hopefully wouldn't be too active at night. Once he pulled into their normal parking spot, he was a bit relieved to see that there was no one in the immediate area, but he was still intensely nervous. He paused and thought for a few moments, then gently shook Stevie awake. ""Okay, we're here, we just need to get inside. Do you think I could borrow that jacket? I might be able to tie it around my waist and use it to get inside. It will look strange, but maybe if someone sees me from a distance, they won't be able to tell what exactly is going on.

She uncovered herself with the jacket and handed it to him. ""Be quick cause there might be police patrolling and they might see me if they are walking on the sidewalk"" she said curling up in a fetal position to make sure none of her was showing through anywhere."
2864,Shadows in the Moonlight,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18069-shadows-in-the-moonlight,['1x1'],2014-06-14 01:19:00,EliteCommander,"""Alright, I'll be quick."" Sam responded as he accepted the jacket and tied it around his waist. He took the keys out of the ignition and made sure he had the house key ready, then quickly got out of the car. He tried not to run too fast to avoid drawing attention from anyone not looking directly at him, but he still made it to the front door in less than ten seconds.<br/><br/><i>""I'm so glad we live on the first floor.""</i>Sam thought to himself as he unlocked the front door and stepped inside, quickly closing the door behind him. He was safe for the moment, but they were far from in the clear. Right now, he needed to get dressed and get back out to Stevie as quickly as humanly possible. Dashing into his room, he untied the jacket from his waist and grabbed the first things he saw out of his closet. He nearly pulled half of his wardrobe off the hangers in the process, but he managed to get dressed in a simple red t-shirt and a pair of jeans in under a minute. Sam didn't have time to go through Stevie's wardrobe as well, so he just grabbed another pair of jeans from his closet and wrapped it in the jacket as he headed back outside, so no one would be able to clearly see what he was carrying. This time, he walked much more casually back out to his car to avoid any unnecessary suspicion. He still didn't see anyone around him, but he aired on the side of caution and got calmly back into the driver's side and acted like he was going through the glovebox as he handed Stevie the clothes. ""Here you go, I have a pair of jeans and the jacket. The jeans are mine, so they might be big on you, but it will be fine to get you inside."""

She had just finished getting dressed when she saw a group of drunk teens coming their way. Stevie shook her head at their drunken stupidity. ""Again that is like the fourth time this week that they got drunk like this"" she said shaking her head more before looking at Sam. ""Well I better get some research done so we can figure this out faster"" she said before walking inside the sounds of the drunken teens laughing could be heard everywhere."

There was still a lot to worry about, but at least one catastrophe had been averted.<br/><br/>""Like I mentioned before, I don't know how much researching will help. There is so much variation in mythology that we can't really know what is correct. Some stories contradict each other on what werewolves can do. I'm worried that we may end up having to just learn as we go."" Sam said as he locked the door to their apartment behind them, just to be safe. He then approached Stevie and gave her a hug, wrapping her tightly in his embrace. He was silent for a few moments, just wanting to hold her for a while before speaking up. ""No matter what happens, though, at least we are safe now. I didn't really get a chance to express it before with how much stress and worry there was, but I am really glad we are together now. I've cared deeply for you for a long time now, I just didn't know how to say it."""

Its strange I could feel any effects of any transformations and its close to midnight, it must only happen when we are either hungry or on a certain night, like the full moon we did go out into the woods on the day of the full moon and every full moon as myth says that a werewolf transforms on the night of the full moon"" she said thinking hard. ""Mrs. Burkheart taught us that in my sophomore year of high school"" she said"

""Did you take a mythology class in high school?"" He asked before shrugging it off and moving on. ""Well, anyway, it might have been because of the moon, but we can only really guess at this point. I suppose we should stay near the woods next time a full moon rolls around, in any case.""<br/><br/>After a few moments, Sam finally let go of her and looked around the apartment. Nothing had been disturbed, so no one had broken in while they were gone. Like Stevie, Sam also was not feeling any particular urges to transform, so he figured they at least didn't have to worry about turning that night. ""I don't know about you, but I'm pretty hungry. We haven't eaten all day. I think I'm going to make something, what would you like?"" He asked."

""Its strange, this heightened sense of smell has doubled now that we arent human and I can smell the pollution even from inside our apartment"" she said twitching her nose slightly. 'Who knew the place could be filthy when it looks clean in our eyes"" she said"

""Yeah. Honestly, I think I preferred having a normal sense of smell. We might have to clean this place up some, though I suppose we will end up getting used to it. Your brain eventually cancels out constants, like smells. At any rate, I might join you in that shower."" He said with a chuckle before stepping into the kitchen. It had been a while since they purchased groceries, so they didn't have too great of a selection. ""I think something quick would be best. Let's see...there's a microwave pizza in here. That's decently filling. I'm not really that picky at the moment."" He said, taking the pizza out of the freezer and preparing it to go in the microwave."

""I sure hope that my nose will cancel out the stupid smells its getting on my nerves I didn't mind the smells of the forest since it actually smelt good"" she muttered rubbing the side of her head before getting some Advil and took two pills out. She walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water taking the pills."

""Will do, though I'll be heading to the college as soon as I bring them back here. I'll wait outside for you to finish your exam, just in case you start feeling any urges to turn."" He put the pizza in the microwave, then went in the living room and turned on the television to wait while it cooked. He didn't really care what they watched, he just wanted to eat and relax. The past few days had been the best and worst of his life, in almost equal measure. On the one hand, he was now with the love of his life, but on the other, they were both afflicted with a terrible curse. The stress of the latter was something he needed to get off of his mind.<br/><br/>Once the pizza finished, he took two plates and grabbed a few slices for both of them. He guessed she was just as hungry as he was, so there wasn't much left for later. Sitting down on the couch next to Stevie, he handed her a plate, and put his arm around her shoulder."

""yeah cause I dont want to transform in broad day light where everyone could see"" she shiver as she imagined what would happen and shook her head. She went back to the living room and sat down with Sam watching whatever he was watching waiting for their dinner to be done. Once it was and she got her plate she snuggled into Same's arms and began to eat. ""This is so good, better than that blood taste I woke up with in my mouth yuke"" she grimace as her mind went back to that morning with the dead boar"

""Yeah, I never thought I would find myself eating raw meat. It makes me hope that werewolves have increased disease resistance. It would make sense...although, I guess there is nothing saying that being a werewolf has to make sense. Still, it has been a while, and I feel fine, so I'm guessing we are in the clear on that one.""<br/><br/>Sam wasn't really concentrating on what was on TV, and instead was just enjoying talking to Stevie in more relaxed circumstances. ""So, which classes do you have finals in tomorrow? It's unfortunate that you won't be able to study more, but I believe in you."""

""Yeah, its weird but we have to live with it no matter what, you cant undo the pas no matter how much you want to. But I also think of this as a blessing, thanks to this we are now boyfriend and girlfriend and we gone"" she blushed stopping her sentence. ""But I think of it as a blessing as well cause we live longer and thats means we can stay together much longer"" she said stroking his cheek lovingly"

When he finally pulled back, he kept his forehead pressed against hers. ""Yeah, I guess if we are healthier, we will live longer. I'm sure we can learn how to control this. It might be a while before we can lead a normal life, but I think we can do it.""<br/><br/>Sam reluctantly pulled his head away from her so he could finish his pizza, but he still held her close. ""So, I guess after your semester is over, we should make plans for how to figure out this werewolf form. We could spend a few days at a time camping in the wilderness and practicing control, then come back here just to make sure everything is okay and keep in touch with our friends. No matter what, we are going to need to spend a lot of time in the forest."""

""I don't want anyone of them to see what we became and if we have no control over what happens in our transform phase, we might actually attack them and make them turn as well"" she said looking at Sam. ""I don't want that to happen"""

Sam commented, shuddering at the thought of accidentally killing any of his friends. Or anyone, for that matter. He finished off his pizza, then set his plate aside. ""Our first priority should be gaining control of our new abilities, of course, but after that, I am wondering what we should do. I mean, if werewolves are something that are actually real, then what else is there in the world we don't know about? I wonder if there is a way we could go about finding other werewolves? I mean, I would have no idea how to begin. If we didn't know about them before, then it is obvious they are very secretive. Maybe...maybe they will end up finding us?"" Sam suggested, his expression turning slightly worried."

""Should we give it a try love, try finding others werewolves that can maybe help us"""

""Definitely, though I hope that werewolf didn't have a pack. It doesn't seem like it did, otherwise it wouldn't have been alone. A pack would probably always hunt together. Also, it seems like werewolves would want to avoid hunting Humans if they wanted to keep their existence secret. Maybe the werewolf that attacked us was crazed or something? Maybe an outcast? In any event, if we ever do find other werewolves, they would certainly be able to help us learn how to keep control. As long as they are friendlier than the one that attacked us, of course."""

When Stevie stood up, he put away their plates, then followed her into her room. By this point, he was acutely aware of the foul scents in the apartment...as well as on himself. All of that time in the forest had definitely not made him any cleaner. He took a few sniffs of the air. ""I definitely think you were right on this place's scent. While I'm buying groceries tomorrow, I'll also pick up some extra cleaning supplies. I'll also get in the shower after you...or maybe I should just join you in this one?""

He wrapped both of his arms around her and buried his face in her shoulder. He could not help but to cry, nor was he ashamed about it. No one should have to go through what they were going through. He needed her support just as much as she needed his. ""We need to find some way to control this, Stevie. Just...losing control of my body like that is..terrifying.

He couldn't do anything to help her; he could hardly even control his own body. How long was it going to be before they lost control in a public place? All of it made him afraid, but at least for now, he had the comfort of holding Stevie in his arms. After what seemed like hours, he finally closed his eyes and managed to get to sleep."

She went to a private place and sat down her eyes brimming with tears as her mind went to that night her fear coming back into her mind. After a few moments she stood up and finally exited the school grounds going back to her apartment she shared with her boyfriend and sat down on the couch not bothering to do anything but just sit there

Fear, anger, anything that he worried his beast might latch on to was something he tried to avoid. Still, it had been days, so he knew well that his beast could come out at any moment. He tried to help Stevie study as much as he could, but since he had not been taking her classes, he was of limited use. Otherwise, he just maintained their apartment so she could concentrate on studying. He cleaned the house completely about three times just to get out all the scents they kept picking up on.<br/><br/>When Stevie arrived home, Sam wasn't sure how to feel. It was a relief that they had managed to make it until after her exams, but now, they needed to focus on controlling their lycanthropy, something Sam had been dreading. As far as he was concerned, he would be happy if he never took on that form again, but it was, unfortunately, unavoidable. They needed to confront it at some point. Sam sat down beside Stevie and put his arm around her. He knew the past few days had been difficult for her, and he wanted to comfort her, but he wasn't sure how much help he could be when he needed comfort himself. Not a moment went by that he wasn't afraid of becoming the same monster he had been a few nights prior.<br/><br/>""So, that was your last final, right? How do you think you did?"" He asked."

It wasn't late, so he wasn't ready to sleep, but he was content relaxing where he was and thinking about what to do the next day. He had already picked out a good spot in his mind on where they should make their camp. The part of the forest they originally went to did not see visitors often, but there were trails going through it. He knew of a place that was completely undeveloped which no one really had a reason to go to that would be a perfect spot for them.

He said, at which point he noticed her gasp. Given the few close calls they had over the past few days, he immediately knew what was going on. The smell of meat, even cooked, was tantalizing for a lycan, apparently. He wasn't sure why he wasn't feeling any urges at the moment, though this entire thing was not an exact science.

His own beast started to tug at his mind upon seeing her in her werewolf form, but it did not seem as strong as hers at the moment. He wished he understood the intricacies of how and why their beasts would force their transformations, but for the moment, he just needed to focus on calming Stevie while suppressing his own beast. As near as he could tell, she knew his scent as her mate, so hopefully, she would not be compelled to attack him in her werewolf form. He walked up to the refrigerator cautiously and pulled a pack of ground beef out of the freezer. Opening it quickly, he sat it on the floor in front of Stevie, then slowly and cautiously approached her. His heart pounded with fear as he ran his hands over her fur, trying his best to calm her.

Her claws lengthened, her teeth and snout started to grow, and the threads in her clothing started to tear as she grew too large for them. He wanted to help, to find a way to stop it, but he had to focus mostly on reigning in his beast. Right now, when she turned, the only thing there would be to distract her would be himself. If both of them turned, then there would be nothing to stop them from breaking out of the apartment and revealing themselves to the world. ""I'm sorry Stevie, just eat and...try to be calm.

They had way more than they would actually need, but there was no telling how much they might lose to accidents with their beast forms.<br/><br/>Under normal circumstances, and week long camping trip into the wilderness would be something Sam would find fun, but with the stress they had to deal with due to their lycanthropy, he had a feeling it would be more work than anything.

It was unlikely that they would be disturbed way out there. As they were driving along, Sam decided to make a bit of conversation. ""Since you almost turned this morning, I don't you'll be able to turn again for a while, so we probably won't be able to practice with our werewolf forms for at least a few hours after we get there.

It's all sealed away, so its scent won't temp us most of the time, but we can use it to practice staying in control. I do not know how much control we will have by the end of the week, but that is at least a goal to keep ourselves in human form around raw or cooking meat. It sounds...doable. We have a week to figure it out, at least. I was also thinking about one thing I noticed about our transformations. It seems that they do not happen back to back, within a short time. Next week, if we can find a place to slip away to and transform during the day, it might make it easier to avoid transforming when we don't want to."" Sam commented. He turned off the interstate and onto a smaller road, which lead to his planned campsite in about ten or so miles. It was a remote and secluded place that he had only ever been to once before. He wasn't really sure if anyone was actually supposed to be there, but if no one found them, then there wouldn't be a problem."

Thinking back on it, it was hardly a romantic spot, wasn't it? Still, I don't regret it for a second. The real beauty of love isn't where it formed, but who it formed with. We could have been in the most polluted city or filthiest swamp and it would have been just as beautiful.""<br/><br/>Looking at the clock, Sam could see that they were making good time. It was probably only going to be about 1:00 PM when they arrived, so they would have plenty of time to get their camp set up and get accustomed to the area. ""We will be heading deeper into the forest this time, somewhere people very rarely go. Hopefully, it will help us not to be disturbed. I've been studying a map of the area, and there are a few landmarks I hope to familiarize myself with in case we get lost and need to get back. It's not perfect, but we will be much better prepared than last time.""<br/><br/>Soon enough, Sam turned off onto a small side road, then onto a dirt road that headed up into the mountains. After a short while, he found the spot to turn off-road onto a small, overgrown path that used to be used for walking and ATVs. His car would barely fit through, but he nevertheless was able to make it to a decent sized clearing: the spot he intended for them to make their camp. Shutting off the car, he stepped out and took in a deep breath of the air around him. ""Well, here we are, our new home for the next week. We should probably go ahead and get everything set up."""

The food and water we brought with us should be enough to last the week, but the lake is also nearby if we need it. The weather forecast says the weather should be pretty fair most of the week, though there is a decent chance of rain near the end of the week. Thursday I think. This would make for a nice relaxing camping trip were it not for, you know, the lycanthropy thing. You think we should try getting started on that today, after we get the camp set up?

We know a few things that can cause it, but I don't know how we can make it happen on our own, or if that's even possible.

Stevie of course knew his siblings, though given that he was the oldest by a few years, Stevie had always spent more time with Sam when they were growing up rather than his brother or sister.<br/><br/>After a few minutes, the pair finally finished pitching the tent, which was the last thing they needed to do for the moment. They would need to make a campfire before nightfall, but they still had plenty of time for that.

""But it's your choice, I'm willing to try pretty much anything at the moment."""

Sam said, leaning down to give her a kiss on the cheek. With that, he walked to his car and opened the trunk while Stevie walked over to the lake. In order to be portable, the grill wasn't especially large, but it was more than enough to cook for two. He took a small bag of charcoal, as well as some hamburger meat from the icebox, and closed it up in the grill so he could carry it all at once. One of the advantages of his werewolf strength, he supposed, was that he did not have to make near as many trips when carrying things.<br/><br/>Before leaving the camp to head to the lake, Sam changed into a pair of swimming trunks. He still couldn't get over the muscularity his transformation had given him. With how much strength he now had, it made sense, but it was still a bit surprising every time he saw himself. He had never been one for exercise before, so it was something he had to get used to. Regardless, he took the grill and carried it to the part of the lake Stevie had selected.<br/><br/>""It is really beautiful out here, isn't it?"" Sam commented as he began to set up the grill. ""Although, I would say it wouldn't be half as beautiful without you here."" He added with a smile."

""Oh love you flatter me I no where near as beautiful as this lake or other girls"" she said crossing her arms in a shy manner watching her boyfriend set up the grill, she was sitting on the ground with her feet in the water enjoying the warm feeling it brought her as the sun made the water nice and warm. ""Perhaps later we can go skinny dipping I always wanted to try it and with no people around it is perfect"""

With a smile, he leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. ""I was thinking, once we have figured out how to control our beasts fully and keep them from turning when we don't want them to, I wonder what we can figure out to use our werewolf forms for? Obviously, we can't let anyone else know about it, but we have a lot of new abilities now. We're faster, stronger, have better senses.

Sam attempted to transform again to see if he was able, but when he tried, he could hardly feel the beast inside of him at all. He guessed it was because they had transformed so recently that he could not do so again. In any event, once they had a dinner consisting of fish roasted over the fire, Sam walked over, opened up the tent, and sat down inside. The night air was starting to grow cooler, but they had plenty of blankets to keep warm. ""You ready to go to sleep for the night?"" Sam asked."

Once she laid down beside him, he closed up the tent and laid down himself. At this point, he was actually looking forward to the next day's training.<hr/>Sam was awoken the next morning by movement outside the tent, which sounded alarmingly close. He shook Stevie awake while holding his finger over his lips, urging her to be quiet. ""I think I hear something outside."" He whispered. He was just starting to get up to open up the tent when their intruders suddenly dispelled any mystery regarding their presence.<br/><br/>""We know you are in there, and we know what you are. We have you surrounded; come out slowly, and with your hands up, and you shall not be harmed. Fail to cooperate and we will be forced to take more drastic measures."" A female voice shouted from just outside the tent. Sam slowly unzipped the tent, his eyes widening when he saw the barrels of at least four different rifles aimed at him, and that was just from the ones he could see. Being as frightened as he was, Sam complied, fully opening the tent and slowly stepping out with hands above his head.<br/><br/>""W-what is it you want? We're just camping, if you own the property, we'll leave. No trouble."" Sam said frantically. Now that he was in the open, he could see that there were another three individuals behind the tent. Interestingly, these people wore no kind of uniform or other identifying marks. They simply wore regular civilian clothing, but the weapons they were carrying were anything but normal. Several of them looked to be military grade assault rifles.<br/><br/>""Don't lie to me. We know what you are, and why you are here, but we do not want to hurt you. We do, however, know how dangerous you can be, even against your own will, so we are going to restrain you. Cooperate, and I promise we will get you help."" The woman offered."

She gripped Sam's shoulder when she heard the woman say she knew what we were and why they were here and it made her heart pound so hard that she could hear it in her ears and her blood seem to run more quickly in her veins which caused her eyes to flash a pale yellow color indicating to Sam her beast was waking up and was close to the surface<br/><br/>""H how can we trust you, how do we know that you are just saying that so we can let out guard down and you can kill us"" Stevie said her voice cracking"

""Now, turn around and put your hands behind your back. I'm going to bind you, then we're going to take you somewhere you can get help. Understand that I cannot let you leave this place alone in your current state. We both know how much of a danger you are right now.""<br/><br/>Sam could not find words with which to answer the woman due to his fear. She spoke in a commanding tone and had a general air of authority about her. It was enough to make even the beast within Sam to recede in submission. He meekly nodded and turned around with his hands behind him. In response, the woman gave a nod to a man on her left. ""Make sure tha tranq is loaded, Jones."" She ordered before producing an odd-looking pair of handcuffs from her bag. Slowly, she walked up to Sam and snapped each end around both of his wrists. ""These handcuffs are designed specifically for werewolves. If you end up trying to transform, they will break, but in the process, they will inject a certain poison into you. It's not lethal, but it is formulated to be able to knock out a werewolf for a few hours. It's the same thing that is in my friend's tranquilizer gun."" She explained as she took out another, identical pair of handcuffs, then approached Stevie to bind her as well."

She shouted in her loud, commanding voice. ""That beast within you is hardly different from an animal, a dog, and it can be commanded just as such. Right now, you cannot escape. No matter how much you thrash and claw, You are ours now; you are a part of the clan. Now, submit!"" The woman yelled, though it seemed like she was shouting more at Stevie's beast than Stevie herself. One thing was for certain; she was a frightening individual. She wasn't even yelling at Sam, and his beast was already submissive in his mind."

She explained briefly before ushering them into one of the three black vans parked outside of the camp.<br/><br/>The woman who appeared to be leading the group got in the front van, while Sam and Stevie were placed in the back of the middle van. They had armed guards around them, none of which seemed too talkative.<br/><br/>""Don't worry Stevie, I'm...sure we'll be fine. They might even be able to help us.""

He is a naturally intelligent individual and has excelled in his academic pursuits. Science and technology are two of his favorite subjects, and though he would love to be a scientist, he has pursued technology for practical reasons.<br/><br/>Other than his academic success, there was nothing exceptional about his early life. Sports and athletics have never been a focus for him, but, perhaps due to his small-town upbringing, he did take an interest in both shooting and archery. He is well practiced with a firearm, and though he has never won any competitions, he has entered a few. He owns a handgun, but never carries it with him inside the city. On the more intellectual side of things, he has extensive knowledge of programming for his age, as well as networking and knowledge of how to troubleshoot computer issues. Before graduating high school, he used those skilled to earn money through odd jobs, but now that he is alone and paying his own way through college, he has taken a job in tech support for a local company. He also makes money through hacking by finding vulnerabilities in the websites of companies, then reporting them to said companies for payment."

Sighing softly he grinned and picked up the empty sheath from where it was leaning, lamenting the loss of the blade as he strapped it on to his hip. running his hands through his long, blond hair he grabbed his jacked with the insignia of the dragon on the shoulder. pulling it on he checked himself one last time in the mirror. nodding he picked up his gloves and pulled them on, checking the wraps on his arm that covered the various injections and incisions made duing his splicing he nodded and walked out towards the Meeting room, remembering to lock his door behind him.<br/><br/>On the walk he spent some time thinking to himself, as far as he was aware he was the only one with a supposed 'theoretical genome' He had no idea what the hell that meant all he knew was that he no longer feared old age and could command fire. he knew that he'd been spliced with a dragons 'theoretical genome' but he'd never been one for studying advanced science. he knew the basics and how life worked, but he had no idea what all this talk of genomes and 'statistical analysis of microsampling' all he knew was he was not in prison and capable of things greater than he was before.

Every night he went to sleep he ended waking up somewhere hanging up side down, talk about a vampire cliché. Quite honestly he was more annoyed than worried about it, saying that he can fly in his sleep doesn't seem so cool after he wake up hanging up side down naked in the ladies room for the second time.<br/><br/>With a groan Marshall spread his arms apart, his wings spreading out as he did so, and released his grip from the ceiling.

Roxy was up next, while Alexander liked girls as much as the next guy he filed roxy away under 'nuclear' classification for 'f*cking dangerous' tall, to a degree, black hair, blue eyes, he could tell little, though from the scars on her hands he'd have to say she probably used some sort of bladed throwing weapon, knives due to ease of access? he shrugged.

She studied the others wondering what animals they had been combined with and what crimes they had committed to get here. She found most of them uninteresting. With the exception of Alexander. He only intrigued her because rumor had it he had been combined with a legendary creature.<hr/>The head scientist beamed at Alexander's questions. ""Let us discuss why you are all here. You are here to show the government that my theory about human and animal DNA being spliced together will create better more effective soldiers. Each of you has been given a chance to change not only your own lives but the future. Your DNA has been spliced with a unique creature.

""yeah, just a few; Why are we suddenly in the army? I agreed to a scientific experiment, not running round with guns, we're kids for frags sake."" he pointed out and then sat up ""and for that matter when do we get to see the sunlight when we're not killing people?

The hacker with the bat DNA. Oh yes, Marshall. I'm pretty sure that's what it was, wouldn't you agree?"" Tsukune gave the poor man no time to speak, as he kept walking, no idea where he was going. The soldiers he passed he greeted casually with a wave and a smile, leaving them unsure of whether or not to intervene. ""Yes, Marshall. You see, I had an idea that I would quite like to share with him, and discuss before supper. Unfortunately, professor, I have no idea where he might be. I assume it would be his quarters. Could you point me there?"" By this time Tsukune had passed quite a distance, and he was sure that once he left, Vlad would out his anger on a nearby guard, or perhaps simply curse, instead of being able to act upon the innocent Hitomi. A guard, at least, would be able to take it."

You clearly just want to be a goodie two shoes and protect everyone going."" he was crouched on Tsukune's chest, shifting more and more towards his Draconic form, his tail had formed and was acting as a massive anchor, driven deep in to the ground, its spines acting like pytons. ""I did care for roxy, but she just proved herself to be as pathetic as everyone else. I don't know, or care for your life story, but when I last looked, history is written by the victors, not by the underlings."" his eyes flickered back to the glowing infernal pits of his dragon half.

After Alexander sliced, Tsukune grabbed both of Alexander's arms, holding them at the wrist. Twisting them, he forced Alexander sideways, and then reversed his grip, giving him more leverage. He quite calmly sat on top, having used his enormous strength to make the effect of Alexander's tail negligible. Black carapace covered both of his hands. ""Go ahead. Breathe fire. You'll hit me at this range, but I'll break both of your arms. You can't throw me off in any way that'll remove my grip, and I'll still break your arms. Even if you manage to stab me in the back with your tail, I'll break both of your arms. And without arms, you're not going to be doing much. Do you understand me?""

He opened his eyes, and this time, they weren't even the same as before, they were, utterly, and totally dragonic, not lizard like, but black, black to the pits of the abyss, the only colour within them was two flecks of pure red fury. ""and now you hold one before you and all you can say is well. I am unimpressed"" he formed his wings behind him, throwing his entire body upwards, his body shifting towards dragon again, rotating around his shoulders he slammed two clawed feet in to Tsukune's face and chest, digging his claws in to leave massive gouges. he'd ceased caring a while ago, but now he just wanted to inflict as much pain as possible. he formed claws and let lose torrents of fire, concentrating to cause Tsukune's clothes to burst in to fire, much like he did the scientists clipboard, at this rate most of the oxygen in the room would be used up within moments, emerging from the fire with full force alexander drove one bladed claw at Tsukune's midriff the other coming for his face."

Then he was filled with pain as the claws slammed into his chest, and began dragging grooves through his flesh. Screaming, he twisted the arms in his grib, shattering the bone. However, this wasn't enough. Using the legs on his chest for leverage, Tsukune gave a massive tug, using his full strength, and ripped off both arms, stumbling back as he was covered in flames, his clothes and hair catching fire. Pain was all over him, it was nearly all he could think. And, driven by it, he transformed into his hybrid form, black carapace covering his entire body. He was more solidly built, the thick carapace making him fireproof, , his hair having disappeared. His eyes were human, and so were his vocal chords, but he looked like a demon, covered in black plates of chitin. He was leaking blood, he knew, and soon the wounds would cause him to lose consciousness and eventually die. However, he would not let the dragon cause more harm.

Ricelle looked over at the driver, there was a large chance that it was a blank shot. He picked her p and put her in the back of the jeep, he then got Ada and put her in his backpack again.

It was when he turned thirteen that Marshall started to go into serious computer hacking, moving whole bank accounts for hire or just for fun. At the age of fifth-teen he even hacked into the White house's computer system and signed the president up for a porn website. Though he was eventually caught when he tried to transfer a billion dollars into a off shore account that was set up by the CIA to catch him.

Years went by his icy demeanor vanished, replaced by a carefree attitude life was good for awhile. Age 20-That was when everything fell apart.

He got caught on his first major delivery, this time he was transporting illegal weaponry. He went to prison for a couple of months until he was offered a second chance. Now he's been infused with the DNA of a hawk, and he's ready to fly.<br/>

Black Mamba<br/>Bio:<br/><br/>Björn's Family had moved to the USA from Denmark. Björns Family had a decent life his father worked as a baker and his mother as a counter woman in a superarket. the first criminal act he had commited was when he was a second year in highschool. was when his highshcool and another localy highschool. His highschools cheerleader teams captain was Björn. lover Her name Angel. the two of them had been dating at the end of the first year of highschool. Björn and Angel had agree to meet after the match. Björn waited and waited and waited. feeling somethingwas ff he started to walk over to the girls changing room, only to see with his own eyes from hidden place that his girdfriend HIS GIRLFRIED WAS HAVING FUCKING SEX with the fucking Captain of the football team. enrged by this act he went home o himself in the garrage and took his fathers chainsaw and a pistol he later went to the football captains house late in the night. wat was going to happen made him think was it really that worth it. Butthen he remembered the Picture of hi fucking Angel.<br/><br/>He sarted the chainsaw and made a nice way into his house, sunds could be heard ostais but Björn moved along deeper into the house only to bump into the lovely asshole football captain quickly he dashed towards the fucker with his chainsaw but the captain evaded it and quickl made it for the living room with Björn right on his tales, The Captain wanted so badly to reachhis fathers guns that was lucked inside his closet. Though that thought quickly excaped as he now was being cut in half from under him upwards screaming like Little bitc he was, lood was spreeding all over the place and soon followed after the captains inner organs droping Down on the floor. Björn lft he place after he was finished and moved on onto his ex-girlfriends place. seing her window was open when he arrived at her place. he hd figured a way up to her room without any ladder or anything the last year so now standing up at the way right into her room he sees she isnt in her room so he enters non the less and Waits in her closet. After an hours waiting he finally enters her own room covered in towels signing she had just came from a hot warm bath, Björn juped out of the closet and tormed her<br/><br/>Putting her on the bed and smaskin her in the face to make her quiet. After raping her brutaly and cutting small amounts of skin off her he took his chainsaw and cut her up into six peices though he parets and Little siste had retured home from a eat out and heard the last scream she had. Storming into her room only to see Björn and Thers now dead and cut in peices daughter the father quickly rushed towards Björn and tried to smask him into the face but was cut short as he ducked wth the chain saw and was now cutting her father half over. the Little sister was just stunned with fear and the mother had alreay gone Down to call the police. Björn slwly closed the distence to the sister. Her name was Olivia Björn droped the chainsaw and took Olivia forceful to the bed the Little girl couldnt do a thing, she tried to him him only to be laught at. kickng him also had no effect as he ten just started to hit her in the face Björn threw her on the bed and jumped himself on her starting to brutally destroy her clothes with the knife he took out of his pocket. he then cut open her thoat, raped her two minutes more and got the hell away from there. Björn jsut in the nick of time because as he was more then a hundret meters away the first police car came and stormed into the building.<br/><br/>Thinking that it would be a better idea to flee his family. having only a hundret buks in his pocket he probably have to beat someone random,. Two days had already went by sleeping on the streets, He already sees the new of his murder and his rape. the police will probably seach whole texas to get him, turns out that he had just raped and killed the texain govenors family, the woman that had runned to call the police was the govonor of texas a fact that his ex have never told him which made him quite angry yet again.but never the less he had to get away from texas in a hurry, so Björn was now walking down towards mexico and two mouths of evading and neary getting caught he finally arrives at the border of mexico and another one mouth of nearly dieing from hunger and dehydrasion to arrive in San luris Potosi. a good thing that he had takken spanish in highschool, hda thought that it was going to be a drag as his mother wanted for him to learn the lanuage which of couse since its mexico quite usefull. Björn had walked for an half hour inside the city and already had he gotten into trouble watching an drug sell the dealer flet same with the buyer and later comes a big mother fucker brute trying to kill him just for watching the deal. He was traped in a alleyway together with the brute and he was sure that he would die but hhe then crouched on his legs "" no me mates por favor,Puedo trabajar para usted"" the brute stood there for a second then smasked him over the head Björn had gone out like a light.<br/><br/>Waking up in a somewhat lighted up area. The first thing that he discovers is that he is taped together to the chair that he was sitting on and his mouth was taped over. looking over in the cornor of the somewhat lighted room he sees the big brute moving over to him only to painfully take the duck tape over his mouth off and then another fat man in jogging pants and a hawaii T-shit comes over ""Usted puede hablar Inglés"" Björn nodded and the fat man smiled "" Good so you can speak Spanish and English this can't be any better, just the kind of man i need for my big plan."" The fat man just smiled widly and hold his hands together "" Em senior may i ask what you need me to do ?"" Björn asked the old man smiled looking at him "" I need you to be a lets say a translater for me so that the Amaricans don't cheat my men when they do bussnies"" Björn only nodded at eass as his life was maybe not in that total danger anymore "" You did say to my loyalst underling Diego that you can work for me "" the big brute now knowen as Diego only grunted and nooded. ""Yes i said that Senior when can i start ?"" it was kidna getting uncomfy being duck taped to the chair "" Diego retire la cinta aislante "" Diego then walked towards Björn and took of the duck tape of him and it hurted like a bitch.<br/><br/>""You can work for me starting now my son"" The was only a evil smile on the fat mans face. Turns out that Björn now was working for one of the three powerfulst Katels in Mexico, two years ago he would have never thought that he was working for a powerful man at his satues but doing so many jobs for him he really didn't care anymore it gave him money to buy food and he had gotten a woman again and a child under the way. so somehow it was going good again the govornor was still looking like crazy for her family killer. and turns out that the fat man, named Gomez Alvotore had connections to people oversees informations that would put the FBI CIA and NSA to shame.. loving the idea that his boss some times let him see the list because he was taking care of his bosses childen here and there he without the bosses knowing made a copy which would get him into trobble if his boss got a wind of it. later that day his boss came to him and they went to his room Björn sat down took his bosses bottle of whisky and pulled two glasses and shued in giving the boss the one glass and takking the other "" You know its been two years and i must say my friend you have made me an even more powerful man having only by a gab but never the less destroyed one of the three power houses and ensureed us a much much larger profit on the amarican market and i want you to oversee that market now. Meaning i am sending ou to Amarica"" Björn had mixed feelings about this but non the less he did as his boss told him, and bowed drinking the whisky finished and was now on the way to a car to drive him back to the states. But already at the border he got into trobble, not thinknig over it the driver was taking the Texas route to get over to the states and they were still seaching for him, luckly they somehow unknowoly managed to evade the detation of the law enforcers and now was on the way to Dallas where the driver was heading.<br/><br/>Björn after another two hours of driving and holding in for food, tolet, and other Things. . . . They finally got to Dallas and right at the house that he would oversee the amarican market. Thinking all the way up to his penthouse Outlook at Dallas he was trying to figure ideas out how to incress the Price for the goods but still incress the amount people are buying to make his boss happy which was mostly his own goal to pay him back for taking him into his Katel. Though as Björn was in his own dreaming World an knocking on his door could be heard.an then another knokc and so on not wanting to wait the person knocking came inside the room. Bjo¨rn came out of his dream World with a shock as he heard the person that had knocked and entered, while he was in his own World. "" Hello there mister, sorry that i came inside without you knowing it. I come here to ask for your help"" Björn walked over to a chair at the window ""Sit Down please, lets us talk more comfy"" The person walked to a chair and sat same with Björn. ""So say mister..? 'Mister Shun' Mister shun i will first ask why do you need my help and what can that benifit me "" Mister Shun sat there a few seconds looking at Björn "" Safe me from Gomez Alvotore. "" Björn stood quickly up and took a knife out of his pockek, now holding it at his thoat "" Tell me one reason now to just kill you on the spot if my boss want to have you killed it should be for a valiet reason "" Mister Shun was showing easly that he was panicing, "" I. . i . . i have information . . . th-th-that Gomez Alvotore have a plan to get rid of you !"" Björn just stood in the same possition for a minute or so until he backed off and jkust stared "" From which source did you get this"" Björn asked coldly "" From Double finger""<br/><br/>Hearing that name made even Björn get a funny feeling in his stomach knowing full well that his best source of information garther came from double finger "" For saying that name, just that name i belive you. So its always the same thing he might be scared that i will take all that he has worked for away from him"" Björn was angry feeling like all those years back, back to his Ex-Girlfriend he wanted nothing more then revange and that he will get<br/><br/>One year ahead<br/><br/>A year has gone by since the declaring of war that was send though information. Björn thanks to the list that he had copyed also been so smart to have one of his loyal underlings put a chip into his so called bosses computer so now he had not only access to his computer but also his updated list. so Björn had mannaged to prevent not only an attack on a govermment offical but also shorten the drug flow into Amarica but still only let his drugs be present, To have a molopey on the drugs. Björn had also given bits of Information to the Us govermment under the name of Le Fancegu Preventing a terrorattack in Alaska to criple the oil doller of amarica and also killed a amarican terroist that had been planing to blow up the whitehouse. Everything was going well the front in Mexico was going super until one day, Bjorn was walknig Down the street to get himself a sandwitch as he was quite hungry, of cosue he had a briefcase with him, in that briefcase was the so called 'Black list' the updated list of his formor bosses information list, Getting the sandwitch he went to the CIA office with his passport and ID, Walking into the CIA office he walked up to the entry guard haned her the passport and Id and stood in the middle of the entry taking his jacket off and folding it fine and going on his knees, soon after the alarm was trigerd by the guards woman and a couple of guards with M14s came and surrounded Björn. Later now sitting in a cell within the CIA Building an High ranked CIA agent came infront of Björn "" Hello Mister Björn or should i say Le Fancegu yes we know all about it, and i must say thanks for that. And did you know that if you where caught in the states a year ago you would had been put to death by a shooting squrat but thanks to your aid. The goverment has agreed to spare you if you go under a program that you will know more about when entering. "" Björn smiled only evily staring at the person "" SDure senior with pleasure"" now wondering what hte future will hold in store for him he looked up into the ceeling"

</blockquote><br/><br/>The feared Black Mamba is found throughout many parts of the African continent. They are known to be highly aggressive, and strike with deadly precision. They are also the fastest land snake in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to 20km/h. These fearsome snakes can strike up to 12 times in a row. A single bite is capable of killing anywhere from 10-25 adults. The venom is a fast acting neurotoxin. Its bite delivers about 100–120 mg of venom, on average; however, it can deliver up to 400 mg. If the venom reaches a vein, 0.25 mg/kg is sufficient to kill a human in 50% of cases. The initial symptom of the bite is local pain in the bite area, although not as severe as snakes with hemotoxins. The victim then experiences a tingling sensation in the mouth and extremities, double vision, tunnel vision, severe confusion, fever, excessive salivation (including foaming of the mouth and nose) and pronounced ataxia (lack of muscle control). If the victim does not receive medical attention, symptoms rapidly progress to severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, pallor, shock, nephrotoxicity, cardio toxicity and paralysis. Eventually, the victim experiences convulsions, respiratory arrest, coma and then death. Without antivenin, the mortality rate is nearly 100%, among the highest of all venomous snakes. Depending on the nature of the bite, death can result at any time between 15 minutes and 3 hours."

A single bite is capable of killing anywhere from 10-25 adults. The venom is a fast acting neurotoxin. Its bite delivers about 100–120 mg of venom, on average; however, it can deliver up to 400 mg. If the venom reaches a vein, 0.25 mg/kg is sufficient to kill a human in 50% of cases. The initial symptom of the bite is local pain in the bite area, although not as severe as snakes with hemotoxins. The victim then experiences a tingling sensation in the mouth and extremities, double vision, tunnel vision, severe confusion, fever, excessive salivation (including foaming of the mouth and nose) and pronounced ataxia (lack of muscle control). If the victim does not receive medical attention, symptoms rapidly progress to severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, pallor, shock, nephrotoxicity, cardio toxicity and paralysis. Eventually, the victim experiences convulsions, respiratory arrest, coma and then death. Without antivenin, the mortality rate is nearly 100%, among the highest of all venomous snakes. Depending on the nature of the bite, death can result at any time between 15 minutes and 3 hours.<br/>

<br/>Incorrect, I am studying toxicology and virology at Glasgow university, My current research is in to snakes and spider venoms as possible treatments for genetic diseases. For instance there is a very unique spider that lives in the western amazon, its bite has the same effect as multiple sclerosis, however in a localized area, I am currently researching a possible use for its antivenom in slowing the effects of Multiple Sclerosis.

</blockquote><br/><br/>Not quite, as a nurotoxin it dosn't 'bind' or 'use itself up' the dosage, as stated above is 0.2mg/kg so at a 1:1 ratio (so a 10kg creature getting 2mg) would take 15 minutes due it being the fastest possible time, and it would build up from there, there is a 'minimum' lethal dosage, but it is a cumulative poison, so unless the creature was more than of the top of my head 2k kilograms then one strike would kill it (from a standard mamba) so yes, he can kill larger creatures in one bite, but like a mamba he can strike several times. so size isn't an issue."

        Miles is a very outgoing, smart and friendly-to-others kind of guy, something that you wouldn't expect for someone who has done something so horrible as to kill his own father. His childhood memories are filled with pictures of his father abusing and beating his mother which Miles loved extremely. He painfully tolerated his fathers outbursts and after each beating he tended to her bruises but his patience was running short. At the age of 18, his parents finally split up because his mother, after a beating called the police. His father was briefly arrested but then released and when he came back, Miles's mother told him she wanted a divorce in which he agreed. The two years after the divorce were the best years in Miles's life as he no longer had to worry about his mother getting beaten almost everyday. He graduated and enrolled into a university and generally lived a normal life until his second year. One day, as he was returning home from uni he saw a familiar car outside of the house he and his new family - his mother had remarried in those two years - were living. It was his father's car. He quickly rushed to the house only to see the door left slightly open. As he entered the house, he heard shouting. Approaching he realized that his father - his real one - had come to their new house. <br/><br/>Apparently, he didn't like the fact that Mile's mother had already remarried and was quite angry and emotional about it. Then in a fit of rage built up by their argument, his father started punching Mile's mother in the face. That was the last straw. Miles snapped, went into the kitchen, grabbed a cutting knife, came back and lunged at his father, stabbing his back a total of 18 times before finally calming down. The police came and he was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison. Little did he know he would be one of the people chosen to be part of a science experiment...

6936,Spliced,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18084-spliced,['Free'],2014-03-13 01:53:00,KatherinWinter,Hmmm. I see the quote but I've looked through the ooc and don't see it. When I look it up I see that the rhinoceros beetle can lift 850 times their own weight which is about 1 lb which comes to 850.
6937,Spliced,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18084-spliced,['Free'],2014-03-13 02:20:00,thewizardguy,"Exactly. However, it would be quite silly if we were to state that if, for example, you were part ant, you would be unable to pick up anything heavier than a leaf. You're a lot friggin bigger than an ant, and thus the strength is comparative.<br/>Basically, I'm attributing the strength of a human-sized Rhinoceros beetle to Tsukune, which is going to be his human weigh x850. I think you can see the problem, however."
6938,Spliced,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18084-spliced,['Free'],2014-03-13 02:28:00,KatherinWinter,Oh isee what your saying I was using the beetles weight not your characters. I'm dense sometimes;) I guess you and the dragon can lift more but I have no idea where the scientist is going to find anything heavy enought to see that.
6939,Spliced,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18084-spliced,['Free'],2014-03-13 03:18:00,thewizardguy,"130.000 pounds? That's ridiculous. He'd be able to arm-wrestle the Hulk to the ground, and pick up tanks with one hand. And I'm using pounds to calculate, not lbs. That's 60 European tons, 60.000 kg. A heavy-ass tank is 30 tons, and that's a big Tiger Tank or something of the like. That level of strength would be insane, if we're trying to keep the power levels relatively low.<br/>I think I'm going to severely downgrade his strength to about 1/50 of that amount. That leaves him with 1,2 tons, much more manageable."

Without any other living family he was raised in a local orphanage where he stayed until he was 15. Years of watching all the other children go home with nice families had taken their tole, forcing him to adopt a colder demeanor to cope with the feelings of rejection. At 16 John ran away deciding life on the streets alone was better than a life of continuous rejection. Soon he met a small group of thieves, pick pockets mostly yet they game him a sense of purpose...a surrogate family. Years went by his icy demeanor vanished, replaced by a carefree attitude life was good for awhile. Age 20-That was when everything fell apart. One by one his new family where getting arrested and taken away, his family where being taken from him. The pain of this was too much, one day John saw an officer cuffing the gangs leader and he lost it. He attacked the officer and rescued his friend at the cost of his own freedom. So John sat alone in a cell for 3 years till this opportunity for a second chance came, and he wouldn't pass it up."

Up till now Ace has been contained in the lower lab enjoying a quiet private room for learning and combat training. Until recently with all the new experimenting going on his curiosity got the best of him and its time to head to the upper levels to meet new people."

His skin is a pale color and his body is covered in varies scars from what seems to be blades and bullets. His hair is ash black with strikes of snow white in it and his eyes are a deep crimson. He normally wears a black great coat over a dark blue shirt, a pair of black military fatigues bottoms, and a set of steel toed black combat boots. He also has a metal gauntlet that was given to him by vlad that is full of tranquilizer. <br/><br/><b> Personality </b><br/>Valentin is a cold and rigid person, his military up bringing shines through in everything he does from fighting to simply walking. Despite his training to change it he normally allows his faint Russian accent to break through when he speaks to others, it gets thicker the angrier he gets. He is a perfectionist in every thing he does from training himself or his squad. He is known to be quite to the point he is given a order then he will give the quickest but most suitable answer. Valentin is known to be deadly loyal to his superior, but is also isn't a blind guard dog.

His parents were able to cover up there past lives and travel to America in 1992 with Valentin. They had changed their last names to Zolnerowich and faked their deaths in order to give Valentin a better life. He grew up hiding the fact his parents were fugitives for horrid crimes. He kept the secret for years even after he graduated high school and joined the military. His parents had raised him strictly so the U.S army's rigid life style suited him well. He rose through the ranks quickly to the point that he was put into a black ops squad. He performed assassinations, cover up operations, extractions, and even demolition missions. He was a expert solider until he accidently killed his commander in a fist fight that he started because his commander bombed a entire building full of people just to kill one target. He would of been dishonorably discharged but a man came and offered him a new position in a testing group.<br/><br/></center>"

Others may call him loving, the truth behind it is that he was never truly one thing. He was a friend, a foe, he was forced to do horrible things in his time as a younger man in the lab but he still fought his emotions and was a benefit to everyone.

We all have our own ways of grief and denying it, pushing it aside is one of them. <b>This is for Ace, the one that left us too soon.

He aced his way through school always putting in just enough effort to pass. He joined a special air school for young people so he could fly like he always wanted. He started becoming addicted to the adrenaline though, and he always wanted more. When he graduated he began doing drug transportation to different countries. He got caught on his first major delivery, this time he was transporting illegal weaponry. He went to prison for a couple of months until he was offered a second chance.

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        Name: Darren<br/>Age: 16<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Apperance: He is 6'9"" tall (while slouching, he's 7'2"" while standing straight up) and he weighs nearly 400 pounds (125-150 pounds more than the ideal weight for a grown man that is 7' tall, I looked it up). He has short dark brown hair and green eyes. He usually wears jeans, sneakers and a striped hoodie (because he heard from a girl in Juvie that strips are ""slimming"")<br/>Personality: Darren is not very bright to say the least, he was never very good at school. He was taught by his grandmother that he should never hurt another person, no matter what, and that he had to protect his sister and other women from harm (his grandmother was 93 and very old-fashioned). He doesn't like conflict and most attempts to force him into physical confrontation will usually end with him either retreating to his room, smashing through any locked doors in his way, or a massive bear-hug that usually disarms the other person, usually by asphyxiating the person until they are unconscious, at which point he lets go.<br/>Animal: Grizzly Bear<br/>Bio: Darren and his sister Liz were raised by their grandmother shortly after Liz's birth, four years after Darren's, because their parents decided that raising children was too difficult for them and took away from the other things they wanted to do in life. Darren was taught by his 93 year old grandmother, Beth, that hurting people was wrong and that, as her big brother, it was his job to watch over and protect his baby sister. Beth died eight years later at the age of 101 and Darren and Liz were sent to live with their only living relatives, their parents. Immediately after moving back in with their parents things went downhill. Darren's father abused he and his sister and Darren, adamantly sticking by the teachings of his late grandmother, tried his best to protect her without hurting his father, which usually resulted in worse punishment for him, but he didn't seem to care. This continued for several years until, shortly after his 16th birthday, Darren came home to his mother, sitting in her usual place in front of the TV while shouting came from his sister's room. The only shout Darren heard clearly were the words ""I said take it off!"" and he dropped his bag and burst into his sister's room, bringing the locked door off its hinges. Darren grabbed the nearest object he could find, an old desk lamp, and began to protect his sister in the one way he had left. The next thing he knew he was being wrestled to the ground by several police officers, the police report stated it had taken nine officers to pry this large sixteen year old boy off his father. At his trial his mother refused to let his sister testify on his behalf and instead testified against him, stating that Darren's now deceased father was scolding the girl for a fight at school. Darren was sentenced to life in prison, he would be sent to Juvenile Hall for the first two years of his sentence and then, on his 18th birthday, be sent to the state prison to serve the rest.

He is a silver tongue when talking to people, sometimes good enough to convince authorities to do his bidding. He is also strangely kind in a way, but it's a ploy to make others work with him instead of against him. He has a dark humor and is often enjoying himself when in a Lab, experimenting to create new creatures and weapons to aid him in furthering his ends.<br/>Bio: Previous Scientist in Genetics, Kargarov became obsessed with new creations in the human genes. His obsession was so powerful he was kicked out of his job. With new technology he stole he was able to create several Newer ""Creatures"" To aid him in his studies. He has abducted several kids before with the Creatures support and used them to continue his research. Now at this time he would be a major researcher and in control of his own... ""Private""... Army of Mutants and Creatures. Using them to aid him in whatever he deems needed, and in his mind... control is what he needs. Now secretly weaponizing his creatures to aid him further for a future conquest when it comes time.<br/><br/>Creatures: Often mechanical mix with organic substance. These warriors make the bulk of his warriors, But also tend to be very powerful in numbers. They wield guns like normal people would in society: machine guns, pistols, rocket launchers, etc. They have no emotions and no pity, they will kill or do anything their master commands.<br/>Basic Picture:<div class=""hider-panel"">

</blockquote><br/><br/>Well I can answer some if those questions but not all. Technically it was never a military base. Just an underground lab. The guards probably should be replaced because my guards suck. The group should have been overpowered at the beginning. I meant the lab to be like a prison since the group is made up of cons.

Allow me to say one-actually a few-things.<br/><br/>1.) They don't really get served meals. They can just walk into the cafeteria and get food.<br/><br/>2.) Unless they agree, your character can NOT beat other characters with a hand strong enough to successfully bitch-slap a tank. Vlad only does it to the girls. And since I'm the only other person with a female character, it's fine. You can not just go around smacking kids, they signed up for Vlad. Not a lifetime guarantee of, 'your gonna get smacked extra hard each and every day. Got it?""<br/><br/>3.) Please refrain from taking<b>full</b>control. In the RP you are now creating things, you are pushing characters around, and you are utterly expecting them to follow your commands.

Things have been anything but boring around here. We have gained and lost so many characters I cant tell you who half of them were. Right now our cast includes: Vlad, Roxy, Jade, Marshal, Adamaris, Richelle, Tyler, Quinn, Randy, Korgarvo and his creatures."
9501,Spliced,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18084-spliced,['Free'],2014-06-16 11:16:00,Azure Sea,ah okay and i'm updating Hitomi's CS
9502,Spliced,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18084-spliced,['Free'],2014-06-16 11:17:00,KatherinWinter,After our group of trouble makes returns from their second mission they discover that the lab has been taken over by Korgarvo and his creatures. Korgarvo is a scientist to Vlad. He has a small army of creatures that he has mutated. The problem is while his men are loyal and good at following orders and working together they aren't independent thinkers. So he had joined forces with Vlad. Hoping that if they work together they can achieve the perfect soldiers.

The sounds of the deranged shouting at the voices in their heads rang through the halls, the smell of recycled air flowed from the vents, and the feeling of dying hope seemed to seep from the walls. It was about time for the Doctors to begin their usual treatments of the inmates, starting with the lower cases and working their way up. One such doctor, Dr. Tracey Heart, was on his fifth patient of the day, or as she put it the longest hour of her life. The young doctor, wearing her blond hair in a bun and a freash lab coat, made her way into the more heavily guarded part of Arkham with her escorts of two guards. She found her way to a cell with a automatic sliding bullet proof glass door, a cell she was all to familiar with. She asked on of the guards to fetch her a chair before she strolled over to the cell and spoke in a tone of utter announce. ""It is time for your daily session Mr. Doe."" She said to the green haired fool that lied inside.<hr/>Inside the staffroom of Arkham the head doctor, Dr. Christopher White, was briefing the newest arrival to the asylum's staff. ""Alright Miss Dunklemen we have been through the safety procedures you must follow while in a session with one of the inmates. Now I believe it is time for you to threat your first patient."" Dr. White then handed Casterly the file on one Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel. ""You'll be holding your first one on one session with her today so make sure it goes well."" He said with a stern tone before he exited the room to attended to his own patients."

And by the time the rubber bullets and mace where loaded we already had two casualties....."" the man said shakily holding his arm to his side.<br/>Flint sighed once again ""see to it that all guards are to be paired up . One will load lethal rounds and the other will load non lethal. Also have every guard make sure to keep there key card within their front chest pocket to avoid the incident of the escapee once again.... You may leave""<br/>""Thank you sir "" The chief of security quickly places his hat back on his head and leaves hurriedly."

She thanked him before taking a seat and returning his attention to the madman before her. ""Yes they are needed Mr. Doe. Do not think that your previous assaults against your former therapists have been forgotten in the slightest."" She said in the same icy tone as before.

Now Mr. Doe the last time we spoke we were on the topic of your father do you care to continue?""<hr/>The sound of static escaped the walky talky on the warden's desk and the voice of a young guard screaming for a moment came shortly after.

""Mr. Flint h-he is d-doing it again, Dr. Lanstrom I-I mean. He is... ch-changing..."" The young guard said in a trembling voice of a frightened child."

""Did you hear what that piece of shit said?!"" The guard said in a tone dripping with blood lust. ""Yes I did, but that is no reason to-"" Dr. Heart tried to say but wasn't able to finish. ""The hell it isn't!"" George replied back. ""That's enough! Harry take George here to the lounge to cool off."" Heart told the other guard who escorted her here.

Then the crunching noises started, it wouldn't take long to realize that they wear the man's bones. His bones were being broken and popped back into new shapes, shapes that were not of a human. Kirk let out loud cries that slowly started to sound less and less human by the second. It was when the familiar voice of the warden out side his cell that made Kirk get to his feet. ""There is no Langstrom!... Only Man-Bat!"" He yelled as he banged against the cell to his door. As he began to grow his color began to tighten around his neck, causing him to let out a high pitched screech that echoed out into the hall."

9894,Arkham Asylum: Diaries of the mad,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18087-arkham-asylum-diaries-of-the-mad,['Free'],2014-03-10 23:47:00,Saarebas,"<img src="" http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110710233421/villains/images/0/04/Arkham_Asylum_(DC).jpg ""/><br/><br/>We all hear the stories, those horrid crimes committed by the mad that plague our fair Gotham. We all hear how they escaped from Arkham and intend to unleash some sort of diabolical scheme that will bring the city to it's knees. Yes we all know their foul monikers, from the deranged Joker prince of crime to the monstrous sub human Killer Croc. But do we know the people behind the news cast, the reason someone would commit such gravies crimes? The only way to see past their madness is to dive into it and hope that you don't lose yourself.<br/><br/>These are the stories of those who dwell within the walls of this sanctuary of the insane named Arkham, be them the care takers or the chaos makers. Now we must ask where will they lead us, to a happy ending of a madman being cured of his illness and finally rejoining society or the down fall of a goodhearted doctor who only wanted to help the deranged but now finds herself among their numbers? Only time will tell and in these halls echoing with the howls of the crazed time is something we all have.<hr/>Basically the idea is that we will be rolling the inhabitants of the infamous Arkham asylum, be it a doctor a guard or one of the inmates themselves. You'd have your pick of anyone from the asylum's rouge gallery, I'm okay with OCs as long as they'd fit in properly. The main goal of this RP is for the doctors of the asylum to try to make a breakthroughs with the inmates, through whatever type of therapy they deem fit, and depending on the inmate to either try to fight against their madness or whole heartily accept it and cause as much chaos they can.<hr/><b> The Rules: </b><br/>1. A simple one no godmodding.<br/>2. Let's try to keep it friendly in the OOC.<br/>3. This is a Arkham RP so yes there will be cursing, fights, and literally crazy stuff going on, but we all know the limits set for the site so lets try to follow them.<br/>4. I've never been the ""do as I say"" guy so if I'm wrong about something, or if I'm being an ass, someone feel free to call me out on it. I want this RP to be a fun game, not some project I'm working on alone.<br/>5. Be aware that if you choose a super powered inmate, which I'm allowing, that you will be treated as such, meaning lots of extra security means will be taken for you.<br/>6. Have fun, this is what the RP is for.<br/>7.

To this end, Langstrom used his scientific knowhow to develop a serum extracted from the glands of bats. This serum was designed to amplify a person's sensory capabilities, gifting them with enhanced hearing. The serum succeeded for a time allowing Kirk to stop a series of crimes, some along side Batman. But the serum slowly began to mutate him into a human bat hybrid. When Batman noticed the more animalistic traits of Kirk he tried to cure him. This only angered Kirk and made him accuse Batman of being jealous of his power, his mind had become more animal like at the time. Kirk then took the name Man-Bat and set out to prove who was ultimate Bat in Gotham.<br/><br/><b> Brand of psychosis: </b> Kirk has an unhealthy obsession with the Batman, as witnessed from his violent out bursts when ever he is mentioned. He may possibly suffer from a split personality disorder, as witnessed whenever he changes he becomes much more aggressive and hostile.<br/><br/><b> Warnings: </b> <br/>1) Dr. Langstrom is to wear his high frequency emitter collar at all times and is to be set off whenever he makes a violent action towards others or him self.<br/>2) Dr. Langstrom's cell is to be kept dark as to much direct light causes pain to his eyes.<br/>3) Dr. Langstrom is to be fed a high iron diet as to make up for his need for blood.<br/>4) Under no <span class=""bb-u"">circumstances</span> is a guard or doctor to be allowed alone with Dr. Langstrom with out the remote to his collar<br/>5) In the event of one of his changes all of his daily therapy sessions will be canceled<br/><br/><b> Other: </b> He keeps a picture of his former fiancée<br/>

He had just finished the case involving the murder of a reporter and a city council woman. It was a nightmare of a case that took over a week to crack. It was involving media and political images and dirty little secrets that could ruin careers, so that made things so ""interesting"".. All of that not withstanding Rogers and his partner managed to finally get the deputy Chief of Staff to crack at about 3 this morning. Captain John Sullivan told Rogers not to report into work for the next 5 days. and to take it easy. Edwin thought this was as good a time to give his Harley a once over as he nursed a beer. All the while Bruce Springsteen told him how to ""Prove it all night"" through Edwin's surround sound system.<br/><br/>When the sax solo began to start up Edwin raised his beer and said,<b> ""You are missed big man.""</b>Just then he heard his phone ringing and his German Shepherd Roxy began barking.<br/><br/>Edwin looked at the caller ID and saw that it was the Department calling him. He shook his head and said,<b>""I knew it was too good to last. Yeah I've been off for less than 12 hours more than enough time to recover.""</b><br/><br/>He looked at Roxy and asked,<b>""Do you wanna answer it?""</b>Roxy walked down the hall and Edwin said,<b>""Coward.""</b><br/><br/>Edwin let a sigh and said,<b>""Go ahead Ed it's just your piece of mind.""</b>Edwin picked up the phone and as he used the remote to turn the stereo down he said,<b>""Rogers.""</b><br/><br/>Captain Sullivan said, ""Hey Ed I'm sorry to be calling you like this, but this is very important.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""It usually is what's up Cap?""</b><br/><br/>Captain Sullivan said, ""There was a murder in a small town just outside of Parker County in the middle of the state and local law enforcement is stumped. How familiar are you with the 'Snow White' murder?""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Just what I've heard on the news not my jurisdiction, so I'm not worried about it.""</b><br/><br/>Sullivan said, ""Start worrying.""<br/><br/>Edwin sat on his couch and asked,<b>""Cap are you saying what I think you're saying?""</b><br/><br/>Sullivan replied, ""Their Mayor called the Governor for help. The Governor called our Mayor, who then called the Commissioner, who called the Chief, he called me, and now I'm calling you. Edwin this assignment is straight from the Governor's office. I hate to say this Edwin, but if you say 'no' to this that hearing you went through for 'Twilight' will feel like a warm memory.""<br/><br/>Edwin quickly polished off his beer and said,<b>""I think I just got the proverbial offer I can't refuse."" </b>Edwin shook his head twice and had an expression of focus on his face. He asked,<b>""When do I leave sir?""</b><br/><br/>Sullivan replied, ""A-S-A-P. Pack up a bag for at least 4-5 days and come by the station to get the information we've been given. You can review it while we get a hold of your partner. You two go down together wrap it up and it's two weeks off with pay and doesn't go against your vacay time. That one's from the Governor too.""<br/><br/>Edwin said,<b>""All-right sir. I need to make a phone call, get cleaned up, pack up, and I'm on my way. See you in about an hour.""</b><br/><br/>Sullivan replied, ""30 minutes.""<br/><br/>Edwin said,<b>""Yeah like I said 30 minutes.""</b><br/><br/>Edwin hung up the phone and threw his head back. He said,<b>""It's so hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way.""</b>Edwin cut the phone back on and called inspector Katherine ""Katy"" Gallado in the Commissioner's office.<br/><br/>Katy answered, ""Inspector Gallado.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Hey there sexy one.""</b><br/><br/>Edwin could hear Katy smile as she said, ""Hey there Stud. I know why you're calling.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""You knew I would be calling so I could hear you strip over the phone and talk dirty to me?""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""Ha ha very funny. I heard about the 'Snow White' case and that you were being called in. So I guess our plans of staying inside and doing unspeakable things that one would only see on Animal Planet are put on hold?""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Afraid so Katy. Shame too my back is finally back to normal after our weekend last month in Atlantic City. Anyway can you take care of Roxy while I'm gone?""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""Sure she likes me better anyway.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Yeah I think you two are plotting against me.""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""You have no idea.""<br/><br/>The two lovers chuckled at that and Edwin said,<b>""I'll call you when I get there, and I'll call every night. I love you Katy.""</b><br/><br/>Katy replied, ""I love you Edwin. Good luck and stay safe.""<br/><br/>The two said goodbye and Edwin quickly took care of everything in terms of packing and getting cleaned up. Once he was done he rolled his Harley outside, fired it up, and was enroute to the station.<br/><br/>Once there he began studying the case files on the ""Snow White"" case awaiting the arrival of his partner."

Alexis Darwin stood in front of Rudy, the pudgy, middle aged editor of<i>The Weekly Chronicles</i>. His icy blue eyes, set oddly into his wrinkled face, stared at her inquiringly as he waited for an answer. But Alexis couldn't form any kind of response, even though she wanted this story more then anything in the entire world. She wanted it so much that her body felt stiff as it anticipated the exposure that she could receive, given that she did a good job. Alexis looked at her boss, who sat back in his computer chair, round stomach bulging out, and stared at her. He raised a bushy, grey eyebrow at her in annoyance. ""Darwin!"" His impatient voice snapped. ""Do you or do you not want to take on the Snow White story?"" Yes, she really did want it. However, for some reason she felt wrong and she couldn't figure out why. Alexis pushed these unpleasant feelings away, a skill she had pretty much mastered already in her life, and nodded towards her boss.<br/><br/>""Yes, I want it."" She tried to make her voice light and carefree as she watched Rudy lean forward and rest his face in his hands. ""Good. This case is big, really big, and lots of people are going to be curious about it."" Alexis nodded, of course they already were. She had heard the whispers, seen the morbid interest in the eyes of everyone in town, including herself. ""It's your job to give them what they want, make it informative, yet riveting. Use eloquence, write this as if it were not just news but an engrossing story. I want you to sell this."" The continuous bobbing of Alexis' head was giving her a head ache. ""Okay, perfect. I can do this, you won't be disappointed."" Rudy's mouth twitched into a grim smile. ""I better not be. This is all riding on you, Darwin."" He paused, looking down at his worn out, leather watch. ""You have a page in this week's issue, I want it on my desk by Friday."" His voice was distracted, as he pulled himself out of the chair and started to gather his things. ""I suggest you start now. Make it good."" Alexis grinned, a real smile that had been a stranger to her face for so long. ""I will. Thanks, Rudy.""<br/><br/>Once outside his office, she checked the time herself. It was nearing midday, a time where she would usually be taking a break and having lunch. Yet, she made a beeline for her small cubicle and opened up her old, beat up laptop. The thing certainly wasn't pretty, and it didn't always run well, but it got the job done. Nimbly, she created a new document and stared at the blank page. She was excited, sure, but also apprehensive. This wasn't just some bullshit story on a small scale town crisis, this was the recalling of the life, and of course the death, of a teenage girl. Alexis chewed on the delicate flesh of her lower lip as her fingers moved aimlessly above the keyboard. Where to start? How to start? Her mind reeled, she wanted facts, she wanted drama, she wanted something so shocking and captivating that would have people so horrified they would have to read it. To do that, she realized, she needed details.<br/><br/>Her twitching fingers that were waiting readily above the keyboard moved slowly towards the gleaming, black office phone. she had the numbers of all kinds of businesses written down and plastered to the wall so it took her no time at all to find that of the police stations. Punching the number into the phone she waited in silent suspense for someone to pick up. Three sharp rings later, a kindly sounding woman greeted her. ""Hi. This is Alexis Darwin, reporter for The Weekly Chronicles. I'm calling to request an interview with the lead detectives on the Sierra Williams case. If you could get one of them on the phone that would be great."" Alexis' free hand found a pen that was sitting, discarded, on her desk. Absently she started twirling it between her fingers, as she waited nervously and eagerly. 'This is it.' She thought. 'This is the big times, the real deal.' A small, pleased smile came over Alexis' face, while somewhere in the deepest corners of her mind something was trying to warn her that this was all more then it seemed."

So was purple a color of dignity?<br/>Dylan sighed, slashing the deep color across the blank canvas in an effort to create some kind of muse pop into her head. She still couldn't figure it out. Movement from her side took her attention and she saw Jacob. He was always early to his classes, giving Dylan a sort of alarm so she wouldn't be late after free period. She smiled to herself as she paused her ipod and took her ear buds out before starting to clean up her station. She considered the canvas that she had been using. Keep it or toss it? With a frown she picked it up and put it in her cubby, maybe she could figure out what to do with it later.<br/>She waved at Jacob as she passed, her bag over her shoulder. The school was so quiet today. It had been quiet for a little over a week. That poor girl, found dead. One of her brothers friends. Dylan shook her head. She wasn't quite sure how to approach her brother about it. He seemed to still be in shock over the whole thing. He didn't want to talk about it, or take a day off. It was like he didn't believe anyone, like he was expecting her to come back. Or perhaps that was just how he wanted to deal with it. Dylan shrugged to herself as she made her way through the halls. She made a quick stop at her locker, throwing her math book inside and grabbing her science book.<br/>A couple at the end of the hallway caught her attention, trying to 'hide' by the water fountains and make out. She grimaced, turning away. What was it an everyone trying to be in love all the time? It was sick. Dylan didn't need anyone, no. She had her paint, that was all she needed.<br/><br/>Cameron kicked the ball half-heartedly, looking at his watch as it bounced off of the net and rolled back towards him. He bent to pick it up and made his way across the field, watching his shoes sink into the grass as he went. He still wasn't sure how to feel about the past weeks events. He'd been in shock when he first heard, denial at the funeral and a few days afterwards, there was acceptance. Sierra was gone. So what did he do with these feelings? These tiny crush feelings? Were they real or were the heightened by the guilt he was feeling for not speaking up about them?<br/>He stopped long enough to pick up his bag from the bench and then continued off of the field and back towards the main building. Should he tell someone? No, they would just think he was lame. He would put all of this guilt and sadness into soccer, there was a big game coming up. If the team won the word would get out and a college scout would come to the next game. That was the kind of push he needed. Not counseling. He snorted at himself as he stepped into the school. Even though it had been weeks, depression hung like a bad smell in the hallways. People were either moping around, or pretending to care. Most knew he had been friends with Sierra. As he passed they hushed, either whispering to each other and looking at him like he was a lost puppy. He wanted to last out at them, scream and yell, but he kept walking, making his way to his locker.<br/>As he turned the corner he saw Andie, standing at her own locker. Someone who wasn't going to look at him like he needed a hug. Someone that he could count on. He leaned against the row of lockers, only partially paying attention to the lock as he spun the code. It clicked open and he pulled out a few books.<br/>""You'd think they would all find something else to whisper about,"" Cameron said in a hushed tone. He placed his ball in his locker as he put the books he had pulled out in his bag. He then took his ball, holding it under his arm and closed his locker, facing Andie.<br/>""Wanna invent an invisibility cloak and run away with me?"" He asked, a small smile on his lips. It didn't reach his eyes. He knew he wouldn't leave his soccer, but it was a nice notion. To just pack up and leave, go somewhere where people didn't know that he had been close friends to a girl who had just been murdered."

Returning to the page he was on, he took the time to look at his watch. Free period was coming to an end, and he would just make it to class on time if he left now. Committing the proper page number to memory, he stood and stretched before picking up his bag and heading towards the school.<br/><br/>Everything was so much more quiet than before, in his eyes. Students talked in hushed tones in the halls and classes seemed more subdued. And Thomas no longer went unseen. Before Sierra... left, most people wouldn't so much as glance in his direction, and he moved through the school like a ghost; unseen, unheard, and liking it that way. Now though, he always drew stares, and knew people whispered about him once he had passed. It was that damn list. Five names and a sentence on a scrap of paper that nobody knew the meaning of. Were they responsible somehow? Had Sierra wanted to tell them something?<br/><br/>Thomas had devoted a week of thinking to it, and hadn't even scratched the surface of the possibilities. He barely knew the Andersons or the Parker girl, and certainly didn't feel comfortable approaching them to ask about it. The fifth name, Nigellus Rollins, was completely unfamiliar. He wasn't a student or a teacher, or anyone Thomas could find. The whole event was an enigma, and clearly beyond him.<br/><br/>Once in the building, he did his best to ignore the stares. Thomas kept his eyes on the ground as he made his way to his locker. Once there, he took a peek around from behind his hair, seeing Dylan down the hall, at her own locker. He couldn't help but notice her and the others on the list more often these days, but he gave no hint of it as he swapped history and math books for English and science. As he closed his locker, he saw the couple by the water fountain and decided he wouldn't grab some water after all. Starting in the other direction, he headed towards his next class, eyes on the ground once more."

Sullivan opened up the bag, pulled out a bottle of Scotch, and pulled out two drinking tumblers with ice. He poured some Scotch in each one and said, ""One for the road.""<br/><br/>Edwin smiled and took one of the drinks. Sullivan took a glass and raised it saying. ""Safety, blessings, and good hunting my friend.""<br/><br/>Edwin raised his glass and said,<b>""Live long and prosper.""</b>The two clinked glasses and downed their drinks.

She looked, mesmerized, at the white, fluorescent glow for a while before she let out a sigh of exasperation and crumpled over onto the keyboard. There was a not-very-pleasant crunching noise as her head hit the keys, causing the screen to erupt with a mess of gibberish. “How to start, how to start how to...” Her mind open, for just a split second and it dawned on her. The epiphany lasted briefly before her mind shut down like a gateway crashing closed. “I'll start at the beginning!” She exclaimed.<br/><br/>The idea was poetic, really. Alexis wasn't just going to write some piece of trash news that objectified the victim of this crime. Making her seem like some poor, faceless girl whose death Alexis was using to get attention for herself. She was going to recall this girls entire life. From start to end. She was going to show everyone who this so called “Snow White” really was. She would write about her family, her friends, and that mysterious list that no one could figure out the meaning to. After Alexis was done everyone would know the name Sierra Williams. The world would know all about this sick crime, and who the killer really is. Alexis planned on giving Sierra something that no one had ever given her.<br/><br/><i>Justice.</i><br/><br/>That as what she had always wanted, and if she couldn't get it for herself she would get it for this girl. Alexis cracked her knuckles and pursed her lips, turning to the computer screen and smiling. The random gibberish was currently a metaphor for her mind. Confused, dazed, all over the place while at the same time artistic and genius. Leaning back in her seat, Alexis nodded, deep in thought with her ideas that bounced around her mind like jumping beans, and started planning out the first in what she hoped to be a long line of articles on this case. If she did well, Rudy would assign her all of the ""Snow White"" stories, and from what it looked like Alexis assumed there would be quite a few."

He stared at her, feeling the beginnings of his world crumble to the ground. When she held out the transfer papers for him to see, he flinched as if he'd been shocked. In reality, he felt like something had collapsed inside him. He'd been wrong, soccer was all he could count on. He tried to remind himself that Australia was Andie's home and all of her family was there but, he couldn't really hear that part over the voice that was whispering poisonous thoughts in his ear. He looked at her, trying not to glare, and took a deep breath. He relaxed his shoulders, and closed his eyes, taking a minute. He could feel this burning in his chest and his stomach was twisting and rolling.<br/><br/>""I hope,"" He started, then shook his head feeling like that wasn't a good way to start. He looked down at his sneakers, struggling, ""I'll miss you,"" He said with a tight smile. He wanted to beg, down on his knees, but he didn't, he wouldn't. If she wanted to go, then she could go. No one was going to stop her. He sighed and turned away, feeling deflated and depressed. His insides were screaming, 'turn around! you won't survive this without her!' but, he did nothing. He kept walking, one foot in front of the other, down the hall, and to the right. His next class. After this class he'd be that much closer to soccer practice, then he would go home, do his homework, go to sleep. He'd get up the next morning, run before breakfast, eat, shower, go to school and repeat his day again and again and again. He didn't need Andie, she obviously didn't need him, so he'd be fine."

He checked his hair in the side mirror and looked his clothes over once to make sure everything was just so for his meeting with Mayor Atkinson and Sheriff Hawkins. Rogers dropped his luggage off at the Blue Creek Motel just outside of town. As motels went it would serve it's purpose and Edwin wasn't planning on moving in there.<br/><br/>Edwin was now wearing a navy blue suit with a matching tie more than professional enough for the meeting he was going to, but Katy would've given him a serious head shaking look at the fact Edwin still had on his motorcycling riding boots. She would've been annoyed that he rode his bike there anyway because it didn't project a professional image. Edwin always did think of himself as a bit of a rebel.<br/><br/>Edwin walked into the lobby and took off his sunglasses as he approached the receptionist's desk. He showed his badge and said,<b> ""Detective Edwin Rogers Pittsburgh P-D. I'm here to see Mayor Atkinson and Sheriff Hawkins.""</b><br/><br/>The young lady with a cheerful disposition said, ""Yes Detective they're expecting you. Just take the stairs behind me, go to the hallway on the left and it'll be at the end of the hall. You can't miss it Detective.""<br/><br/>Edwin smiled and said,<b>""I hope not otherwise what does that say about me as a Detective.""</b>The young lady smiled and said, ""Oh I think you'll do just fine."" She let the smile linger and Edwin gave a slight nod as he went up the stairs.<br/><br/><i>Ahh the famous Rogers charm wins yet another heart.</i><br/><br/>Rogers approached a sizable wooden door with a gold nameplate that read ""Mayor Tyler Atkinson"" across it. Rogers said in a low voice,<b>""I think I found the right door.""</b>Rogers knocked and a voice bellowed, ""Come in.""<br/><br/>Rogers shook his head for a moment and said to himself,<b>""Ahh I like Mayors with calm soothing voices.""</b><br/><br/>Edwin opened the door and closed it. A robust looking gentleman with thinning gray hair stood up and said, ""Ah hello Detective Rogers welcome to our city. I'm Mayor Tyler Atkinson."" The two men shook hands and Atkinson said, ""And this is Sheriff Tom Hawkins."" Edwin stuck his hand out and Hawkins merely nodded at Edwin. Hawkins didn't strike Edwin as the friendly type right away. Hawkins was sitting but Edwin could already tell that the red headed Sheriff outweighed him by 30 pounds at least, had 5 inches in height on him, and probably didn't have any issues eating raw meat to make a point.<br/><br/><i>Ah the Sheriff who thinks he could do this without the big city Detective showing up. Note to self don't wait for a birthday card from him</i><br/><br/>Atkinson nodded to the empty chair next to Hawkins and said, ""Please have a seat Detective. Need anything to drink or snack on?"" Edwin replied,<b>""No thank you Mr. Mayor. Just ready to get started on the case."" </b><br/><br/>Atkinson said, ""Very well then Sheriff would you please give the Detective everything you have on the case as it stands now.""<br/><br/>Hawkins reached over and dropped a manila folder in Edwin's lap. He said, ""Here you go. You got any questions call the office. I got work to do."" Hawkins stood up and said to the Mayor, ""Sir."" He looked at Edwin and just grunted as he walked out slamming the door.<br/><br/>Edwin nodded and said,<b>""Yeah gotta get out there and intimidate the locals into bowing down properly.""</b><br/><br/>Atkinson replied, ""Detective please it was very difficult to Hawkins to agree that he needed help. Please be respectful of his feelings.""<br/><br/>Edwin shrugged his shoulders and said,<b>""As long as he respects mine. This assignment wasn't my idea sir.

We are on the national news and it's not very flattering to us.""<br/><br/>Edwin said,<b>"" I'll bet it's even less flattering to Sierra Williams' family.""</b><br/><br/>Atkinson paused for a moment and said, ""Point taken Detective. If you need anything to help please let me know directly. I figure the less you have to do with the Sheriff the better.""<br/><br/>Edwin nodded and said,<b>""Agreed and thank you. Now if you'll excuse me I'll head back to where I'm staying. I prefer that remain a secret at this time after all Alfred hates intruders at stately Wayne Manor and in the Bat Cave.""</b><br/><br/>Atkinson shook his head slowly and said, ""You're gonna be fun I can tell that already.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Oh just wait until I start rattling some cages."" </b>With that Edwin gave a slight bow and the two men shook hands as Edwin left the office.<br/><br/>Edwin reached the parking lot and saw Hawkins near his Harley.<br/><br/><i>Oh goody the showdown in the park after school is getting ready to start.</i><br/><br/>Edwin put on his sunglasses and Hawkins just glared at him as he walked by. Edwin put the folder in his saddlebag and looked at Hawkins who was still glaring at him.<br/><br/>Edwin asked,<b>""Is there a bee around me?""</b><br/><br/>Hawkins asked, ""You think you're cute & funny don't you Detective?""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b> ""Well I have a girlfriend who thinks I'm charming in a college sorta way, and she seems to think I do a better than average slash excellent job in bed. Much like the sheep around here probably think of you."" </b><br/><br/>If looks could kill Hawkins would be arrested for the look he just gave Edwin. Edwin said,<b>""If you wanna go then let's go otherwise back the hell off and let me do the job that I was called upon to do by the Governor.

Edwin got on his Harley and started it up.<br/><br/><i>Katy told me that one day my mouth would get me into a world of trouble. Why do I get the feeling that today is that day?</i><br/><br/>Edwin took off on his Harley and headed back to his motel room and brought his Harley into the room with him as he began to study the case files."

Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, she had mascara streaming down her mocha colored cheeks, and her hands were now balled up into fists so tight her knuckles were white. “It’s barely been a week since Sierra’s murder and you’re already slinking around like you’re hot shit!”<br/><br/>Her eyes flickered from the girl’s hands to her face. Liza’s expression hadn’t changed at all during the entire exchange so far-- but she flinched at that last statement and her eyes narrowed. She glanced around the hallway— already the two had attracted quite the crowd. No teachers yet. She spotted at least two or three people with their camera phones out, however-- pointed impatiently in their direction.<br/><br/><i>Freaking dramavores….</i><br/><br/>Obviously recognizing Liza’s reaction and determined to rile Liza up enough to make the first move, the girl continued, taking a step closer to where Liza was leaning up against the wall across from the stairwell, her dark purple backpack slung casually over her shoulder. “You<i>don’t even care</i>, do you,<i>puta barata?!</i>This is why you don't have any friends! You don’t belong here, Liza. You belong in a fucking<i>aduana!</i>”<br/><br/>Liza rolled her eyes, pushing herself away from the wall and bumping her backpack, which had started to slip, farther up onto her shoulder. “First of all, Carla-- I don’t even know what an aduana is,” she sighed, “And secondly, I already told you—I wasn’t with Tomás last night. I was at work.“<br/><br/>“Oh yeah?!” Carla stuck her hand inside her sweatshirt pocket and pulled out a pair of frilly looking orange panties and promptly threw them towards Liza’s face, “Then how do you explain<i>these??</i>”<br/><br/>“Oooo!” the crowd bayed.<br/><br/>“Gross!” Liza swatted them away and wrinkled her nose in disgust. This was about to get ugly. “Damn! Those aren’t mine! Chill the fuck out! You can ask Cindy Stanfield. She was working last night at the same time!” As Liza spoke, she moved her right hand to grip her left forearm. Carla was obviously right handed, judging by that throw. So that would mean….<br/><br/>“<i>Estoy hasta la madre!</i>” Carla hissed venomously. The crowd suddenly went wild as the girl swung her right fist at Liza’s face. She’d been expecting as much, however, and redirected the girl’s fist right into the solid brick wall behind her with barely a side step and tug on Carla’s sleeve— just like her sensei had taught her in Judo class. As expected, the girl cried out and slunk over, nursing her no-doubt bleeding knuckles whilst a stream of Spanish curses leaked out of her pink lip-gloss covered mouth.<br/><br/>Wow… she hadn’t had a punch thrown at her in quite some time. But it was probably for the best. If it had been a slap, Liza would have kicked her to the ground as soon as she finished redirecting it. That would have definitely landed her in a lot more trouble with the principal….<br/><br/>Liza turned her eyes back on the crowd— most every student with a camera phone had theirs out by now and they stared expectantly— obviously eager for more action. But they weren’t going to get anymore. Shifting her backpack to the other shoulder and brushing a stray hair from her bangs back into place, Liza took off running past the crowd of kids and down the stairs. “<i>Puta cobarde!</i>” she heard Carla scream after her just as the bell marking the end of free period went off.<br/><br/>And just like that it was suddenly time for lunch. She’d probably be getting a call from the principal sometime during her next class— or maybe even tomorrow. Liza inwardly shrugged as she neared her locker to get out the paper bag with her lunch inside of it. Only three things were for sure:<br/><br/>Tomás was obviously a lying scumbag (not a big shocker there), spending a night with the likes of him was hardly worth her time (she figured both those two facts out last year when they dated for what was barely a week), whoever’s panties those were—they had horrible fashion sense when it came to lingerie, and she sure as hell couldn't wait to leave for L.A. that summer-- this Sierra shit was really beginning to kill her mood....<br/><br/>Oh shit-- wait. That was four...."

He stopped walking, looking down at his sneakers. He listened to her, as she walked around him and hugged him. He closed one arm around her, the other was closed over a soccer ball of course. He listened to her speak, telling him that she had wanted to run away together. How ironic, he thought to himself. He looked at her, a mixture of confusion and pain written on his face. She had liked him? How had he missed that? His brain wasn't comprehending that right. He couldn't be comprehending that right. He watched her leave, wait did she just say love? He tried to form words to make her stop and turn around, but all that came out of his was mouth air. He blinked as the bell rang, shocking him into reality. Kind of.<br/><br/>He rubbed the back of his neck, a nervous tick he'd developed from watching his father and continued down the hallway. He needed to go for a run, after school he'd have Dylan take his stuff home and he would go to the park, run for a bit. She'd probably want to go with him, he'd have to think of an excuse....maybe he'd just tell her what happened. She was a girl, she might be able to help him. He cringed at the idea, but it was better than talking to his mother and Sierra....he couldn't talk to Sierra anymore."

Edwin picked up a six-pack on his way out of town at a local general store along with a sub from a Subway shop within the store. He decided he was in for the night and was wearing a pair of work shorts with his Jerome Bettis Steelers jersey. The TV was on more for white noise than anything else, but he was listening to hear if there was anymore news on Snow White. Being in a small town meant there were times that people didn't exactly know when to shut up around a camera, and who knows what little nugget of information would be leaked out to the press.<br/><br/>His phone rang and Edwin saw that it was Katy calling him. Edwin turned off the TV and answered his phone. He said,<b> ""If you're not calling me to tell me that you just got out of the shower and you are getting ready to send me a full sized selfie I'm gonna be so frustrated.""</b><br/><br/>Katy replied, ""Good we can be frustrated together."" Her tone of voice told Edwin that she was not a pleasant frame of mind.<br/><br/>Edwin said,<b> ""You and I have been going out long enough that I know when that tone of voice is directed at me.""</b><br/><br/>Katy replied, ""Well it's nice to know that you're not just a detective because of your charm and wit.

Not a single clue as to what you're talking about.""<br/><br/>Edwin said,<b>""In my defense, he never denied any of it I should get points for that alone. Not to mention I should also get points for coming up with those things off of the top of my head."" </b><br/><br/>Katy let a deep sigh and said, ""Edwin, Edwin, Edwin, you have no clue how dangerous of a man Sheriff Hawkins is. I read his file this guy could probably make you have an 'accident', and they wouldn't find your body until the next ice age if ever. He also has several charges of police brutality against him although none of them have ever been proven or the victim recanted their story. Sweetheart I don't mind saying it he scares and I'm all the way in Pittsburgh. if you get in trouble the Commissioner has ordered me to come down there and either bail you out, talk to the Mayor, bring you home, or identify your remains. None of those options thrill me exactly thrill me. Not to mention you and I wouldn't be sharing a room and that upsets me even more. ""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Katy I know what type of guy he is. He's a schoolyard bully masquerading as a law man. Besides when I was doing the Golden Gloves I fought bigger guys than that.""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""Edwin in case you hadn't noticed that part of your life wrapped up over 20 years ago. You're not in High School anymore and in this case there isn't going to be a ref to step in and save you."" Katy exhaled deeply and said, ""Edwin you are on someone else's home field, and whether you like it or not that means keeping your mouth in check even if they deserve it. The wall of silence in that town is gonna be tough enough to break through without you shooting off wise cracks, and you thinking it's charming Edwin. Please I'm begging you to watch it with this one Edwin please. This case is a lot more dangerous than it appears on the surface which is already pretty damn scary.""<br/><br/>Edwin too another drink and replied,<b>""I make no promises, because this is who I am and this is how I work but I'll see what I can do about playing nice with the other kids in school.""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""Thank you. I don't want you to change who you are, because I fell in love with you just as you are. All the good qualities and annoying ones too they make up who you are. I love you so much Edwin.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""I love you too angel. I love you too.""</b><br/><br/>Katy asked, ""So other than angering the local law how's it going?""<br/><br/>Edwin took another drink and said,<b> ""Just a lot of questions right now my love. I want to go over the evidence and crime scene first hand and then I'll start rattling the cages.""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""Please be careful your Captain is still trying to locate someone else to work with you on this one. According to my sources around the precinct he is very worried about you. Almost as much as me.""<br/><br/>Edwin finished his beer and said,<b>""I'll wrap this up as quick as I can then I'm outta here. I love you Katy but I think it's time to get some rest. I got a big day of not getting killed by the sheriff tomorrow. I'll talk to you later love.""</b><br/><br/>Katy replied, ""Good night and be careful Edwin. Call me tomorrow I love you too.""<br/><br/>Edwin said,<b>""Good night love.""</b><br/><br/>Edwin hung up his phone and turned the TV on to ESPN. The OKC Thunder were playing the Miami Heat so Edwin decided that was a nice distraction. Just then his phone beeped. Edwin pressed the touch screen and saw he had a text message from Katy. It was a picture of her in her robe flashing the camera and the message said, ""Does this make up for me not being the shower?""<br/><br/>Edwin smiled and texted back, ""Nicely.""<br/><br/>He put his phone down and turned his attention back to the game and got out one more beer."

It was empty. Was she leaving now? Today? There was no way, she would have told him before that...right? He stood for a moment, in the doorway of the classroom, considering his options. He turned and walked back down the hall, straight for the doors. Where would she go? Back home probably, she'd have to get her things before she left. He didn't want her to leave, he wished she would stay. His feelings for her, well, those were undefined as of right now, but he still wanted her to stay. She'd stay if he asked...right? He walked down the sidewalk, across the street and towards the building, hoping that she was there. She'd definitely be there right?<br/><br/>Books in one hand, soccer ball in the other, he let himself into the building, and made his way up the stairs. His parents would be very angry that he'd just walked out of school. His mom more so than his dad. He could explain this to his dad, but his mom wouldn't understand. Would she? He sighed and stopped outside Andie's door. He shifted his books to his other arm, balancing his soccer ball and the books with the experience of a seasoned soccer player. He raised his other hand and knocked on the door, his heart hammering in his chest and his breath coming in short bursts."

A crowd of people pushed past him, and though they stood shoulder to shoulder, none came within an arm's length of him. Even as they ignored him, he could feel the burning glares, hear their whispered disapproval. The bell rang as they passed, but Thomas stood quietly by rather than attempt to push his way through the tail end of the group.<br/><br/>Once he started walking again, he found the halls otherwise empty as people headed off to lunch or class or home. These days more than ever he was consistently late to his own classes, preferring to walk the halls with as few people in them as possible. He moved with a relaxed stride now that nobody was staring, and actually took a bit of a look around.<br/><br/>What caught his eyes was the only person on the list he actually felt he had something in common with. Something in common besides Sierra, of course. ""Loose"" Liza Montgomery was shapely and attractive, but Thomas did not put much stock in the reputation she seemed to have for sleeping around. Of course, he didn't know her well enough to confirm or deny that, but he wondered if Sierra had. Deciding that he had little better to do, he decided to strike up a conversation to see what he might learn.<br/><br/>""So why are you on Sierra's list, Liza?"" he asked, leaning against the lockers a few feet from her. ""I don't even know why I am, let alone the others,"" he mused, expecting Liza to simply wander off into her own world. They didn't talk often and when they had Thomas was unsure if he held her interest at all."

He was hopeful that a decent night's sleep would change not only his attitude towards the Sheriff but the Sheriff's attitude towards him as well. Once again wearing a black suit and tie, but with motorcycle boots because after he is a bit of a rebel Edwin made his way into the building.<br/><br/>Edwin found 5 deputies just sitting around doing nothing related to police work. Some were Facebooking, some tweeting, and others chose to play solitaire.<br/><br/><i>Well nice to know that the Sheriff inspires such a strong work ethic in those under his command looks like another day here in the paradise that is Rosemont.</i><br/><br/>Edwin cleared his throat and one looked up at him. Edwin flashed his badge and said,<b>""I'm Detective Rogers from the Pittsburgh PD here working on the 'Snow White' case I need to talk with Sheriff Hawkins.""</b>The deputy gave a smile and said, ""Oh but of course sir. I'll go get him right away.""<br/><br/>The deputy left and Edwin rolled his eyes,<i>Why do I get the feeling that today is gonna end up with me in jail or left in the woods without my cell-phone or clothes?</i><br/><br/>Hawkins came back out and the deputy followed him. Hawkins said, ""Well if it ain't the big ol' city detective. What can I not do for you?""<br/><br/>Rogers in a very even keel voice said,<b>""Look yesterday I said some things I shouldn't have and I apologize I was out of line. Now I need some assistance in getting the investigation under way. I need the people who's names were on the list brought in for questioning, and I figure since the deputies might have better success in getting them in here I was hoping they would be willing to help. Their parents and a lawyer can be here for the questioning and I can start that once they're out of school. I also need to see the forensic evidence for the case all of it, and I need directions to the crime scene or if I could follow someone to it so I can go over it."" </b><br/><br/>Hawkins replied, ""Well nice to see you big city folk can show some respect for those of us in authority. Now the first thing you're gonna need is a subpoena to get us to assist you. Secondly we sent the evidence out to be processed and it could be another few days. Not to mention people around her are still pretty shaken up. We'd just hate to make things worse while the grief is just so real. Besides I figure an above-average slash excellent detective like yourself should be able to wrap this thing up before noon."" Hawkins started laughing and the deputies joined in. Hawkins said, ""You see Detective Rogers in Rosemont here in Calverton County I hold many weapons at my disposal and the most powerful one is..."" he tapped on his badge and said, ""Right here, and inspite of the fact you apologized I don't care for you Rogers. I just don't frankly you'd be better off just leaving town.""<br/><br/><i>Okay Katy I tried nice time to bring the hammer down.</i><br/><br/>Edwin nodded and said,<b>""Ah gotcha. Hold onto that thought. I'll be right back."" </b><br/><br/>Edwin went outside and called Katy. She answered, ""Hey there what's up?:""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""I tried nice and even apologized. Hawkins is stonewalling me giving me a boatload of attitude and hoping I just leave town.""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""Okay. It's my turn to make a phone call. I know you don't like using this card, but if it'll help get things moving I will.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Thanks beautiful. I know don't like making the call either, but it's time to bust out the big guns.""</b><br/><br/>Katy said, ""I agree. It'll be coming through in about 5 minutes.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b>""Thanks Katy. Love you and your body.""</b><br/><br/>Katy chuckled and said, ""Love yours too. Don't get any extra holes in it.""<br/><br/>Edwin smiled as he hung up and went back into the station. A deputy went back into Hawkins's office as Edwin leaned on the counter. Hawkins asked, ""So you got the guy yet?"" Everyone laughed but Edwin who said,<b>""Nah still need your help.""</b><br/><br/>Hawkins shook his head and said, ""It ain't happening boy. So get on your scooter and just go away. It's over here for you, and if you think of lodging a complaint with the Mayor...."" Hawkins laughed and said, ""That clown can't even blow his nose without my say so. I am the law here. It's over run along.""<br/><br/>Just then the phone rang and Rogers said,<b>""One last request please put that call on speaker. I want your deputies to see how the law handles things over a phone.""</b><br/><br/>Hawkins asked, ""Who is it calling? My Mayor? Your Mayor? or that bimbo who I talked to last night?"" It took every once of self control on Edwin's part to keep from going over the counter and decking Hawkins.<br/><br/>Edwin just shook his head and said,<b>""You wish.""</b><br/><br/>Hawkins pressed a button on the phone and said, ""Yeah this is Sheriff Hawkins."" Another voice on a speaker said, ""Sheriff this is the Governor's Office please hold for Governor Pratchett.""<br/><br/>Hawkins just stared wide eyed at the phone as his men frantically cut off their computer distractions as though Pratchett could see them.<br/><br/>Pratchett said, ""Sheriff Hawkins this is Governor Mark Pratchett. Just calling to see how the investigation is going. I hear that Detective Rogers is encountering some obstacles tell me that ain't true Sheriff.""<br/><br/>Hawkins was stuttering and stammering and finally said, ""Well sir we ah are just finding our footing and getting to know one another and....""<br/><br/>Pratchett said with a growl in his voice, ""I didn't send him down there to get to know you! I sent him to solve a murder! I'll say this one time only Sheriff and I'll say it slowly so there is no misunderstanding me. From this moment on if Detective Rogers says it you and your associates do it then and there period end of discussion. You and your associates are there to serve and assist him without any interference. Any further delays or obstacles I will draft an executive order, come down there to Rosemont with 6 State Troopers and serve it to you personally. It will state that you and your associates will be relieved of your duties effective immediately! The State Troopers will be responsible for keeping the peace until a special election to choose your successor has been conducted. Have I made myself clear Sheriff?""<br/><br/>Hawkins was in a state of shock as he said, ""Yes sir Governor. I ah...."" Just then the Governor hung up. The silence in the room was deafening and all eyes turned to Edwin.<br/><br/>Edwin said,<b>""Yes you have many weapons, but a good law officer needs only one. Now about that list....""</b><br/><br/>Hawkins looked at two of the deputies and said, ""Get over to the school right now make sure those kids are brought here after school. Go!"" He looked at two others and said, ""Call their parents and explain the situation I don't care what they're doing they're on notice about this."" He looked at one more and said, ""Get on up to the lab and you lean on those techs I want those tests done asap. On your way out though please escort Detective Rogers to the crime scene.""<br/><br/>Edwin gave a half bow on said,<b>""Thank you Sheriff.""</b><br/><br/>Hawkins nodded and said, ""Not a problem Detective. Need anything else let me know.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied,<b> "" I'll need a room here to do the questioning later today.""</b><br/><br/>Hawkins nodded and said, ""Of course.""<br/><br/>The deputy walked up to Edwin and said, ""If you'll follow me sir.""<br/><br/>Edwin gave a half bow and said,<b>""Thank you again Sheriff."" </b>With that Edwin was on his way to the crime scene. One piece of information Edwin kept to himself about Katy, besides the fact that she was his girlfriend, was that Katy called Governor Mark Pratchett by another title...Uncle Mark."

Most ‘conversations’ she had in the hallways began with “Hey bitch!”, some other obscene variant, a threat, or a simple shove in the back. Thus Thomas’ sudden appearance gave Liza quite the start as she closed her locker to look up and find the longhaired Crow boy staring down at her and talking. Impulsively her hand shot forward, whacking him across the face with her bagged lunch of spicy tuna, chocolate pudding, and capri sun.<br/><br/>She gasped and retracted her hand almost as quickly as she’d shot it forward. “Oops… sorry,” she grimaced, “You startled me.”<br/><br/>She put her hand on the offended cheek and scoffed. “How’s your face?” she smiled apologetically.<br/>“Geez, you should be a ninja assassin or something,"" she joked, laughing-- even if he didn't,<i>she</i>at least found it pretty funny. She'd never whacked anyone in the face with a tuna sandwich before.<br/><br/>Thomas Crow. Liza had only ever had a few classes with him—he was one of the smart kids that took the honors classes and got straight A’s and free ice cream at the end of every semester for academic awesomeness or whatever they called it. More importantly, however, Thomas Crow was one of the few people on Sierra William’s mysterious list.<br/><br/>She suddenly remembered he’d just asked her why she was on the list. Well… wasn’t he a blunt one. Not that she minded—she preferred getting to the point as opposed to dancing around the subject. That didn’t change the fact that it was none of his business, however… even if she<i>did</i>know the reason. Crossing her arms, Liza shrugged nonchalantly, “I don’t know why I’m on the list.”<br/><br/>She smirked, “Maybe she had a crush on us.” She slowly started walking towards the lunch room, giving Thomas the chance to follow her if he still wanted to talk. But in the meantime-- she was hungry."

His cheek burned more with a slight blush than pain, and he raised a hand to cover it, but was beaten to the proverbial punch by Liza.<br/><br/>""My face will be fine,"" he says, pushing off the locker to follow her, ""and nobody seems to know why. Everyone assumes one or all of us is responsible for... what happened. I just wish she had given us more information. Or, y'know, stuck around a bit longer."" As much as Thomas was typically reserved, he found it nice that Liza seemed so easy to talk to. It probably helped that he had only conversed at length with himself over the past several days.<br/><br/>""I just wish people would try to figure out the facts before jumping to conclusions. You should hear some of the things people say about us when they think nobody's around to listen,""<i>though I suppose you've probably gotten most of it thrown in your face,</i>he added to himself, trying to remain tactful. If he was going to talk to Liza, he certainly didn't want to come across as one of the rest who just knew her for her reputation. Not that she knew any more about him than he let everyone else know.<i>Whatever, at least she talks to me,</i>Thomas thought, deciding that the conversation would certainly be more interesting than his afternoon English class, which he'd already done all the work for anyway."

You definitely didn’t have to tell<i>her</i>that. Liza had lost count of how many notes she’d found slipped into her locker-- just in the past week-- saying things like “Admit it already” or “I know it was you”. Must’ve been easy and taken very little brain power to assume it was ‘the bad girl’ of Rosemount high school.<br/><br/>She suppressed a sigh and shrugged again, “I know what they say. It’s not like it matters. What's the point of worrying about it....” They’ll eventually convict someone and the courts will do the rest… in the meantime, Liza just wanted to keep a low profile. That meant not talking about her relationship with Sierra with just any Bob or Sarah."

However, when she did and he stepped inside, seeing the boxes spread out over the floor, he lost it. The whole speech just went 'poof!' right out of his head. He closed the door behind him and then walked into the living room. He didn't sit down, but he did drop his books and soccer ball on the couch. She started talking, and he listened, trying to remember everything that he had been running through his head just moments ago. His eyes narrowed as he thought.<br/><br/>""You don't have to apologize,"" He said, he sat down across from her on the floor, taking a book off of the coffee table. He turned it over in his hands as if it held the secret to whatever the question was. He frowned, setting the book back down on the coffee table.<br/><br/>""I think you should do what you want to do,"" He said quietly, leaning back and looking at the television screen. His face was blank, perhaps a little upset, a slight furrow of his brow, a tiny pout on his lips. He shrugged.<br/><br/>""I mean, I can't stop you, you seem pretty determined to run away, I'm not sure if it's because of...what happened, or because you told me you loved me in the same conversation that you told me you were leaving, that doesn't make sense,"" He said glancing over at her, ""Not that you love me because,"" He paused, gesturing to himself with a wry smile, ""But telling me and then leaving,"" He said, becoming serious again. ""If I didn't know any better I'd say you were trying to break my heart,"" He said, looking back at the tv. He watched the actors walk across the screen. Something dramatic was going on, he wasn't really following but the overall tone was teetering on the edge of dramatic and heartbreaking. How appropriate."

Then again having a doberman like Hawkins laying down the law didn't hurt in this case. Edwin finally felt like he was free to do his job and not worry about the politicians get in his way on this one anymore. Then again being able to call the Governor's niece up and have him intervene on your behalf also wasn't a bad card to play. Edwin hated calling Katy to call her Uncle, but in this case there was no other choice.<br/><br/>He walked the perimeter of the yellow caution tape and studied everything as though it was a rare butterfly. Finally he bowed his head, said a brief prayer for guidance and to bring justice for the victim and closure to the family, and finally to make it through this alive.<br/><br/>Edwin put on some rubber gloves, lifted up the crime scene tape, and walked on through. He walked over to the oak that Sierra had been leaned up against. Edwin knelt down and looked around the base of the tree and saw no foot prints. Then again with as many roots as there were around the tree the killer could've stood on them. Just then he noticed several small black hairs in the tree which led Edwin to believe they were Sierra's hairs. He pulled out a sandwich baggie and put the hairs in the baggie and sealed it. Edwin wanted to be sure that they were Sierra's he couldn't afford to make a major screw up like making an assumption. His mouth and ego were writing a check his reputation alone couldn't cash. Edwin sat next to where the body was found and nodded.<br/><br/><i>For the killer this was all about putting his or her work on display otherwise why stage the body in public? Ground is relatively undisturbed so the evidence suggests that it happened here. Did Sierra have Snow White fetish? Was she stripped after she was dead and the costume put on her? According to the ME's initial finding the apple bite did it, but how the tests won't be back for a couple more days so no way of knowing if it was poison. Sierra took the bite which rules out an allergic reaction unless there was something on the skin like peanut dusting something that on the surface doesn't raise a red flag. If it was poison then the question becomes who had access to a poison like that in Rosemont?</i><br/><br/>Edwin shook his head because for every possible theory there were two more questions or possibilities. He said,<b>""Oh I love my job.""</b>Edwin chuckled at that statement and knew it was time to do the one thing he hated more than anything else; visit the family. He hopped on his motorcycle and headed off."

Ah, he'd hit a nerve, he mused. He managed to keep a slow smile from creeping over his face. Yes, in fact he did feel as if she was breaking his heart. But why? He wasn't in love with her. That much was true. Did he have feelings for her? Of course. Absolutely. There was no denying that fact. A fact he could deny however, was having feelings for Sierra first. He would probably deny that for the rest of his life simply because they couldn't be real feelings. It was a mix of guilt and lust. He couldn't have her anymore therefore he wanted her more than ever. Pining over a dead girl. Story of his life.<br/><br/>When Andie finished talking, Cameron hauled himself up off of the floor and followed her path into the kitchen. He moved slowly, trying to pick his next words carefully. He didn't look over at her, or move to take her hands. He just walked around the counter, trailing his fingertips over the top. He stopped, tapping the countertop lightly a few times. He opened his mouth and then promptly shut it, shaking his head. That wasn't the way he wanted to start talking. She was standing next to a very heavy tea pot, he'd have to be delicate.<br/><br/>""I'm proud of the fact that you managed to tell me,"" He said, still studying the countertop, ""And I hope that you can forgive me for breaking your heart,"" He paused looking at her now only to add, ""I may not love you yet but I do care, Andie I left school, I'm pretty sure we had a chemistry test today too..."" He let his gaze wander around the small apartment, ""I wonder what kind of punishment I'll get..."" He said absentmindedly. His gaze flicked back to her sharply, as if he'd just remembered that they were in a very serious conversation. He gave a heavy sigh and looked up at the ceiling for a minute. All this mushy feeling sharing had him feeling uncomfortable and bare. He didn't care for sharing feelings. Any feelings really, except happiness, anger was hard for him to show even.<br/><br/>""I wish you would stay, but you should be happy too,"" He said. He lifted his hands like a scale and moved them up and down before shrugging and dropping them back to the countertop."

He set it on the counter and pulled her into a hug, resting his chin on top of her head. He rubbed her back gently, sighing again. She'd stay if he asked her too. The temptation was there, he didn't want her to leave but he also didn't want her to be miserable if he did. It was a sticky situation.<br/><br/>""You know I can't ask you to stay,"" He said quietly, ""I want you to stay, but I can't ask you too,"" He pulled back so he could look at her face.<br/><br/>""I would be happy if you were happy, so it's your choice,"" He said with a small smile, ""Besides, I have a game coming up, you can't leave yet anyway,"" He said, trying to lighten the mood, ""Well, that is if coach doesn't bench me for skipping class,"" He frowned at that thought, looking down at the floor. That would be the kicker to the past couple of weeks, but he shouldn't groan and moan about it. If he got benched then he got benched. He did choose to leave class. He glanced back at Andie, no he chose to fight for a good friend. Even if she did leave, he would still keep in touch with her. He may not be in love with her, but he cared very deeply for her."

Liza listened pensively as Thomas spoke, sucking on the inside of her cheek. Had she sounded hurt before? Why was he apologizing so much? She slightly frowned without turning to him—pulling out her pudding cup and a plastic spoon.<br/><br/>“You’ll get used to it,” she scoffed, shaking her head. “And I’d rather you just say what you mean without trying so hard not to offend me…. I’m not just some delicate flower that’s gonna break down crying if you don’t think my hair is pretty, y'know?”<br/><br/>She wanted to say more. She wanted to tell him she truly didn't care what he thought, so it didn't really matter what he said. And that she didn’t want his pity. She wanted to tell him to stop acting so high and mighty like he never laughed at a Loose Liza joke before or just sat by complacently as people shamelessly spread outrageous lies and rumors about her. She had little faith in the quiet boy's ability to stand up to most of the loud, raucous pricks Liza dealt with on a weekly basis. But this was normal for her.<br/><br/>People are always the picture of benevolence when they’re talking to your face. Was sympathizing with her Tom’s good work of the day? Jesus must be<i>so proud.</i><br/><br/>“I know people talk shit about me and I stopped caring a looooong time ago,” she sighed, placing a spoonful of pudding onto her tongue. “I’d be more worried about what you’re going to say to those inspectors when they come busting through your door.”<br/><br/>She pointed her spoon at him, “Or what people around here are going to say to<i>them</i>—not each other.”<br/><br/>If the police can’t find enough evidence right away—it’s the rumors that are going to tie them to that suspect list. Liza knew this… and honestly? For the first time in a long time she felt frightened of something other than the dark. After what happened between Sierra and Liza, she was never sure exactly which version of the story prevailed…. But if it was the one she was thinking of, she could be in some trouble. She blinked a couple times, realizing she’d just zoned out for a few seconds there and shoved more pudding into her mouth.<br/><br/>“You were her friend, right?” she glanced at him suddenly, “You’ll probably be fine. It’s not like you’ve got anything to hide.”"

He decided that it was time to not just rattle the cages, but it was time to turn the cages upside down with the animals still inside of them.<br/><br/>Edwin stopped off at the court house and met with the clerk of the court. A woman who looked more like a stereotypical librarian. Brown hair in a tight bun, glasses on the end of her nose, and of course a tweed skirt with matching jacket accented with a white blouse typing up a report of some kind. Her name plate stated that her name was Charlene Wilson.<br/><br/>Okay something tells me the old Rogers charm ain't gonna work here, so I guess it's time to do my Joe Friday and see if that wows Charlene.<br/><br/>Rogers flashed his badge and said, ""Detective Edwin Rogers homicide Pittsburgh P-D. Here on special orders from the Governor looking into the...""<br/><br/>Charlene looked up and said, ""We're aware of who you are Detective Rogers. How can I help you?""<br/><br/>Charlene actually smiled at Edwin who in turn smiled at her and said, ""Well Charlene I need to see a judge about a search warrant. Can you help me with that?""<br/><br/>Charlene nodded and looked over her schedule and said, ""Judge Stone up the stairs turn right 3 doors down is free at this time.""<br/><br/>Edwin replied, ""Thank you Charlene."" Edwin made his way to the Judge's chambers and once he arrived he knocked on the door. A somewhat Northeastern accent replied, ""It's open.""<br/><br/>Edwin walked in and saw an older gentleman bent over slightly playing with a practice putting green, He tapped the ball and it drifted towards the left and the judge made a face like he just ate a sour olive. He shook his head and said, ""Come on Dan you can do better than that.""<br/><br/>Edwin said, ""I beg your pardon your honor my name is Detective Edwin Rogers of....:""<br/><br/>The Judge retrieved his ball and said, ""Trust me Detective everyone in city politics knows who you are now."" Stone looked at Rogers and said, ""You're the guy who not only was picked by the Governor to solve this case, but who also managed to get Sheriff Hawkins in hot water with the Governor.""<br/><br/>Edwin shook his head said, ""Well well word travels fast here. It wasn't my intention to get the Sheriff in trouble your honor.""<br/><br/>Stone chuckled and said, ""One of the deputies is married to the Clerk of the Court that's we all heard about it. Personally I think Hawkins has had it coming to him for years. About damn time somebody put that third rate hoodlum with a badge in his place. You stood up to the school yard bully and whacked him good. I love it been trying to get him in line for years, but with the Mayor being so spineless around him Hawkins gets away with murder. Off the record there are a couple murders I think he actually did do but that's another matter for another day. What's on your mind have a seat?"" The judge gestured to an empty chair as he took a seat behind the desk.<br/><br/>Edwin replied, ""I need a search warrant for the Williams residence. Need to see what I can find in her room that might help with getting things going. After that I plan on bringing all the kids on her list to question them as a group.""<br/><br/>Stone asked, ""Wanna see how they interact with one another?""<br/><br/>Edwin nodded and said, ""I realize there is one other person on the list a Nigellus Rollins who's 21. I'm really wondering about him. I think this is the day karma bitch-slaps for certain other items on his file.""<br/><br/>Stone nodded and replied, ""Yeah I agree with you about him off the record of course.""<br/><br/>Edwin nodded and said, ""Oh absolutely your honor.""<br/><br/>Stone smiled at Rogers and said, ""I like you Detective. You're not from around here so that means you can be fearless and shake things up. I like that about you, and I read your file as well. You are one helluva Detective.""<br/><br/>Stone pulled out a warrant and filled it out. He signed it and said, ""Need anything else call me direct."" Stone handed Edwin his card and Edwin put it away. Edwin said, ""Thank you your Honor.""<br/><br/>Stone nodded as Edwin started to leave Stone said, ""Oh by the way nice hog. 1979 restored it looks like.""<br/><br/>Edwin turned back to the Judge and replied, ""Good eye sir. You ride too?""<br/><br/>Stone said, ""Yeah I got an 1982 I ride once in a while. Good luck Detective.""<br/><br/>Edwin bowed his head slightly and made his way back over to his Harley. He started it and went to the address on the warrant. Luckily for Edwin the town wasn't that big so finding the house was no issue.<br/><br/>Edwin took a deep breath and said, ""Okay now the real game begins.""<br/><br/>Edwin went to the front door and knocked Warrant in one hand, and his badge in the other."

Excitement welled in Alexis' chest as she pushed away from the computer desk and grabbed the notepad that had several scribbled jot-notes on it. She had spent the last hour digging up dirt on the Williams family. Considering that sshe had been in town only a couple of years, Alexis didn't know too much about what seemed to be a family filled of misfortune. Not only had their middle child been murdered, but their youngest had just been released from intensive care. Feeling somewhat commiserated for the family, she packed up her bag and slung the thing around her shoulder. It rested comfortably against her hip, the leather worn in some places due to over use. Just because she felt badly for the tragedies these people faced didn't mean that Alexis was going to stop doing her job.<br/><br/>Giving a lazy wave towards Rudy, who had turned a curious eye towards her, Alexis pushed through the door and out into the afternoon warmth. The sidewalk was empty except for several people who quietly made their way down the streets. They exchanged only muffled words and whispered greetings as they passed each other. The small town, which had once been so vibrant and happy, had become ghostly after the death of Sierra. People sought closure and were coming up empty handed. No one knew anything about what had happened, other then the fact that a sixteen-year-old girl was dead and the police suspected foul play. Fingers were pointed in all directions, mostly towards people whose names appeared on the list found in the dead girls hands, and all hell was sure to break lose sooner rather then later.<br/><br/>Alexis walked down the barren streets with these thoughts rolling over and over again in her mind like clothes in a dryer. She unconsciously made her way through the town, which was easy enough to navigate, enjoying the quiet the settled over her as she entered a more residential part of town. Her mind sharpened as she looked down at the paper which had a scribbled address on it. This was where the young girl, who was the subject of all the town gossip, had once resided with her family of five. Stepping in front of the looming, two story home Alexis drew in a deep breath going over again what she would say when the door swung open and revealed a distraught person who had just lost one of their loved ones. Crumpling the paper in her fist, she convinced herself that this was what she had to do. ""No good reporter ever got the story without getting a little dirty."" Her quivering voice reminded herself as she traveled slowly up the walkway and stood in front of the door. Her hand connected hesitantly with the wood. ""Here goes nothing."""

He looked out the window, seeing some cars out on the street drive by. It was a truly, truly lonely town. He wiped dust off the rest of the table, using it like one might use a drum-set - whacking the hell out of it with anything you have on hand, to the tune of your favourite song.<br/><i> Why did I think it was a good idea to sleep in an abandoned house? Almost everything in here is broken, and I can swear those are bloodstains on the bed, Nigellus, not coffee stains! <br/>Calm down, you. I'd rather save my money for finer things in life, like a nice meal or wine.</i><br/>As he thought this, his stomach growled.<br/><i>Because that works all so well, yeah?<br/>Oh, do shut up.<br/>I don't believe that's how your mind works, Nigellus.</i><br/>Nigellus got up from the table as pain shot up his hand, which he accidentally whacked against the table during his rendition of the death waltz. He got up, slinging his flute case over his shoulder, climbing out the shattered window, into the alleyway. He dropped a few inches, unzipping the flute bag on his back. He took the flute parts between his fingers, bringing them in front of him. As he walked, he assembled his flute. After which, he zipped the bag. Less than two doors down from him, a man was knocking on a door with a purpose, a thin and wide piece of paper in the other hand. It looked vaguely familiar, but Nigellus couldn't care, at that point. Several people were walking down the side-walk from either side, and that man knocking on the door, as well. Nigellus took his flute case off his shoulder, putting it on the ground, and opening it. And with that, he began to play.<br/><i> Because having a normal job was too easy for you, after all. </i><br/>Nigellus continued playing the jazz song, making a flute - generally used for orchestral scores that required their light melodies, into a jazz instrument. He played the song brilliantly, making it seem natural and easy, keeping his tone clear, and making it seem like the flute was made for jazz, which to him, it was. As two people passed, they dropped some bills into the case, and he continued playing, enjoying his own music, and for that reason, and the fact he wanted to eat dinner, that night, he played to the best of his abilities."

She hated this part of her job; the pushing and shoving. Digging up dirt and recounting things that most people wanted to forget. It made her feel selfish and as she waited silently outside a feeling of angst made its home in her gut just like it always did before an interview. 'This won't be too bad.' She coaxed herself, tapping her foot slightly on the door step. 'Just a few questions, nothing deep, then you'll be out of here.' She calmed herself down and released all her anxiety in one shaky breath, a technique she had learned from a Victims Anonymous group that she'd been apart of for a couple of years. Alexis raised her fist again, ready to give another sharp knock on the door when the handle started rattling.<br/><br/>The door swung open to reveal a tall, rather audacious looking girl who could only be the oldest Williams daughter.<i>""Can I help you? You look kinda lost... And if your not, I don't want to buy anything so don't even bother...""</i>The wind picked up, blowing Alexis' soft, brown hair into her eyes. Whilst nervously pushing the hair behind her ear, she shook her head and attempted a gentle smile. ""No, not lost. My name is Alexis Darwin, I work at the<i>The Weekly Chronicles</i>."" Instinctively, she placed her foot in the doorway. She'd been working long enough to know that most people considered her ""kind"" pests and a door in the face was only to be expected from this young woman. ""Before you dismiss me I'd just like to ask some questions, I know this must be a hard time for you but I just want to know some things about you sis-"" Alexis broke off and peeked around the woman. The older man standing behind her was incredibly familiar, she'd seen his face in the paper before...<br/><br/>""Detective Rogers? You're the man who just solved the case of that reporter right? I did a story on that!"" It hadn't been anything big, just a small column that Rudy had given her for practice. Biting her lips, Alexis raised an eyebrow.<i>Two birds, one stone.</i>Perhaps she'd be able to get a statement out of him too. Resisting the urge to interrogate the detective, Alexis turned back to Miss. Williams. ""I wasn't expecting anyone else to be here."" Grabbing the satchel that rested on her side, Alexis pulled her notepad out and flipped to the page where she had scribbled several questions. ""Anyways, like I was saying I just have a couple questions if you wouldn't mind, it'll only take a couple of minutes."" With a pen tucked behind her ear, she looked up at the young woman,<i>Elise</i>, Alexis reminded herself, through thick eyelashes. Her clothes ruffled slightly in the growing wind and she felt a slight shiver move up her spine.<br/><br/>With pursed lips she studied the girl. ""If you wouldn't mind,"" she motioned towards the inside with a universal symbol of 'let me in'. ""It's a bit cold out here."""

He found the right chord to strike with Elise which was treat her as an adult and be honest, but more important the ""Joe Friday"" routine wasn't going to fly with her either. Bottom line just be real and know that she has a right to get angry.<br/><br/>He came down the stairs and heard a name and then the words ""ask some questions."" Edwin didn't hear anything else he knew what was going on and what was about to happen, and that was enough to make Edwin roll his eyes before he was in sight of the reporter. Edwin stopped and looked at Lyn and said, ""I'm sorry for the trouble and pain I caused you. Know this though I will do everything I can to help you and your sister. I promise.""<br/><br/>As Edwin approached the door Alexis recognized him from a case he had just finished solving, and that already put him at a disadvantage. She knew him and Edwin didn't know a thing about her except the fact that she was a reporter who was trying to get into the house. Edwin was worried about a lot of things at the moment. One this upsetting Lyn even more than she already was. Two he says the wrong thing this destroys the very fragile trust he was forming with Elise. Three Edwin was not in the mood to deal with the press. The one time he dealt with someone directly in the press was right after the Twilight case, and it ended with the Department P-R Division writing out an apology for Edwin to read and a settlement after he decked a reporter on live TV.<br/><br/>Edwin nodded and replied, ""I read it nicely done. All that being said it's safe to say that this is not a good time to talk with Miss Williams. She is still dealing with what has happened, and I am in the midst of an on-going investigation. If you want to know anything else you should talk to the Public Relations department at City Hall. As for me all I will say at this time is 'no comment'. Feel free to quote me on that. Now I have a strong suspicion that if you do not leave very quickly Miss Williams will become most distressed, and that will lead to a scene that none of us want to have. If there is anything to report on I will make sure that the Public Relations department is contacted.""<br/><br/>Edwin's demeanor shifted from ""police PR 101"" voice to his ""real"" voice as he said, ""You would be well advised to leave the premises at this time. Otherwise Miss Williams will be well within her rights to have cited for Trespassing, and I will support her all the way."" He looked at Elise and gave her a nod of assurance.<br/><br/>Edwin tapped his handcuffs and said to Alexis, ""It's your call Miss Dawson."""

Alexis corrected unconsciously, annoyance leaking into her voice as her eyes narrowed towards the detective. ""My name is Alexis<i>Darwin</i>."" Haughtily, and with a bit of vacuous defiance, she crossed her arms over her chest. She didn't take well to be told what to do. It was sort of a ""been there, done that"" situation for her and she didn't care much for following orders. Even though Edwin was pretty menacing, standing there with his cuffs in hand, Alexis swallowed her fear and stood her ground. ""I understand that you have a job to do, I can wait out here until you're finished,"" Her eyes flickered towards the young woman still standing in the doorway.<i>""Really? It's cold outside? I didn't know that, see, it's nice and warm in here.""</i>Alexis felt a rush of guilt flood her body, giving her cheeks a pinkish tint as she ignored the young woman's comment. The tone in the girl's voice dripped with animosity and Alexis knew that her being here was not a pleasant thing for this family.<i>You gotta do, what you gotta do...</i>""I would just ask you to supply me the same courtesy."" Still holding Elise's gaze, Alexis offered a benevolent smile that made her features melt to show her compassion, and of course pity, for the girl.<br/><br/>She knew how hard it was, how these types of situations could affect a person. She had lived a nightmare for years and to this day she still looked over her shoulder on a barren sidewalk or shuddered whenever her phone rang. Looking up at the young woman again and suppressed a capitulated sigh. Alexis could give up now, leave these people in peace and just go about her business and write some dumb ass, boring story that people would overlook in a second. It would be easy to do and if she did just walk away now no one would get hurt. Regrettably, Alexis didn't give up. She fought hard and she fought dirty; she wasn't going to let anyone stand in her way of reaching the career that had been taken from her years ago. This story could be her salvation, it could be her ticket to the big leagues. She wasn't going to throw away a perfectly good opportunity just because she didn't want to get a little messy.<br/><br/>""I in no way want to put you or your family in any sort of discomfort,"" eloquently she inveigled Elise, whilst keeping a close eye on the detective who stood grievously behind her. Alexis made sure to be aware of his every movements, she had no intentions of winding up in handcuffs. ""Sadly, someone has to get the facts and I don't want a story composed from some nonsense or falsehoods. Wouldn't you rather the public know you're real sister instead of some bull shit I come up with off the top of my head?"" Uncrossing her arms, Alexis held the notepad against her leg, tapping it in much the same manner Detective Rogers had with the handcuffs. ""I have a feeling that you'd prefer that not to happen."" Her voice was poignant and with inquiring eyebrows raised, Alexis smiled pompously.<br/><br/>""Now, what do you say, Miss Williams?"""

""Though for the record, your hair is pretty. I doubt anyone here will have much to say about me though. Nobody really knew me besides Sierra. Who knows that they'll make up or speculate though."" Falling silent, he spends a moment chewing the inside of his lip and staring into space. Nobody here knew enough about him to present any real information that couldn't be taken from the school's database. That didn't mean they wouldn't bring up every suspicion and stray thought they had about him to the detectives.<br/><br/>""Everyone's got something to hide. Nobody is perfect.""<i>Not even the straight A honor student who never misses a day, never does anything wrong. Everyone's got a skeleton in their closet.

Only person here who really called me that,"" Thomas finished, eyes falling to the table. In the past, the only people to talk to him besides Sierra either hated him for the apparent ease with which he earned his grades, or saw him as an easy target. The list had given him a reason to talk to others though, and who was he to waste that chance? Besides, they all had a common tie already. Maybe now it was time to put together a full picture of who Sierra really was, to all of them.<br/><br/>""I know I just kind of showed up out of the blue, but I'm glad we can talk. I've been alone with my thoughts for too long, and I doubt anyone else would have listened to or put up with me."" His mother certainly wouldn't have, not that she was ever around. The others on the list probably barely knew who he was, and everyone else avoided him for fear of being caught up in the whole mess."

Though for the record your hair is pretty,”</i>he finally decided to say. That got at least a half smile out of Liza as she punctured her Caprisun bag with the straw. Sure, maybe it was just his face-value niceness, but she was grateful for the compliment nonetheless. Compliments that weren’t either dripping with sarcasm or dripping with the intent to try and ‘get lucky with Loose Liza’ were pretty rare these days. …he wasn’t trying to get lucky, was he? Her smile transformed into a more puzzled expression.<br/><br/>Eh, he was pretty cute, but now really wasn’t the time she ought to be messing around—much less with a guy from Sierra’s list. Not unless they wanted to be the next Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito—sexing it up right after the death of a friend. Yeah, no… somehow she doubted that was why Mr. Picture of the Perfect Student was talking to her.<br/><br/><i>“I doubt anyone here will have much to say about me though. Nobody really knew me besides Sierra. Who knows what they'll make up or speculate though…,""</i>Tom's eyes seemed to get kinda distant,<i>""Everyone's got something to hide. Nobody is perfect.""</i><br/><br/>Truer words were never spoken. Although as far as skeletons in the closet went, it was a good thing most of them were only teenagers. They could probably chalk up most of the stupid stuff they’d done in the past to that inevitable foolishness that always walked hand in hand with youth. Then again, even if you didn’t have a history of getting into fights, like Liza did, if your background is full of violence—like say an almost permanently drunk father who once threw a beer bottle at his 10 year old son’s neck and permanently scarred it for life—you’re pretty much screwed. She secretly hoped she wouldn’t have to face any criminal psychologists. She didn’t want any of those guys probing her brain with their words….<br/><br/><i>""Yeah, she was my friend. Only person here who really called me that…. I know I just kind of showed up out of the blue, but I'm glad we can talk.

She knew how much it sucked to be on that mysterious little list Sierra had written. Liza considered herself pretty good at coping with things on her own, but all the accusations were beginning to wear down even her. She couldn’t imagine what it was like for everybody else... although, she had to admit, it was somewhat amusing to see the ""perfect"" kids like Andrea, Cameron, and even, up until now, Thomas thrown for such a loop.<i>Welcome to my world,</i>she'd scoffed one day when she'd glimpses some kids confronting Andrea and Cameron about it-- although they weren't hardly as accusatory towards them as they typically were with her.<br/><br/>""I just wonder why she left a list of all things,"" she mused, taking a small bite of her spicy tuna sandwich, ""Like is the murderer even on that list or did Sierra just get a kick out of confusing the shit out of everyone.""<br/><br/>She scoffed, “If that’s the case, maybe I should’ve hung out with her more often because that shit would be hilarious.... But I also wonder if maybe it was a warning, you know?""<br/><br/>Her nonchalant smile faded, ""If anybody on that list dies any time soon, I guess we'll know, huh?"" She watched Thomas carefully, doing her best to look spooked by her own words, but couldn't keep up the act for long. She broke into a light chuckle and took another bite. Maybe some would call her crazy for making light of such a gloomy topic, but this was just part of how she coped. She wasn't about to get all mushy with a guy she just met, either. He had yet to gain even a semblance of her trust, which wasn't going to happen in a single day and she highly doubted would ever happen anyway-- so until then, this conversation was nothing but a silly dance to Liza. Thomas wasn't going to get anything more than a few shared chips and inappropriate jokes out of her in the meantime."

Not that there's anything wrong with her.</i><br/><br/>""If the killer isn't on the list, it's most likely meant to be a warning. Or a sick joke, though I doubt anyone would have the presence of mind to pull a prank like that if they were about to die. For that matter, why would she make a list as a warning without explaining the reason for it? I mean, what exactly are we supposed to look out for?"" he asked, his tone more conversational than serious. He wasn't going to make light of the situation, but he couldn't help a casual curiosity about the meaning of that list.<br/><br/>""At least the cops won't have to try very hard to draw up a suspect list, she basically told them who to look for. Makes me wonder if they're even considering anyone not on the last as a possible suspect. I wouldn't, to begin with. Not until I had a reason to. Then again, I'm no detective. They'll find out who did it, or they won't. In the end it won't bring her back.""<br/><br/>Thomas shifted in his seat while considering his own words, laying one leg across the opposite knee. It was only a matter of time before the police decided to interview everyone on the list, that was for sure, but it still made him a little anxious. ""Whatever will be, will be. Nothing we do now is going to change that, so we might as well just wait it out and hope her killer is brought to justice."""

He seemed to catch on well enough, though. She was glad he caught the slight seriousness in her jesting. They really ought to be more heavily considering what the list was exactly for. She'd been scratching her head over it for well over a week. Thomas seemed capable enough... maybe he could be the one to help her figure it out.<br/><br/>“At least the cops won't have to try very hard to draw up a suspect list, she basically told them who to look for. Makes me wonder if they're even considering anyone not on the list as a possible suspect. I wouldn't, to begin with. Not until I had a reason to.”<br/><br/><i>Bingo,</i>Liza thought pensively. She opened her mouth to speak, but closed it again as Thomas went on-- deciding to let him finish.<br/><br/>“Then again, I'm no detective. They'll find out who did it, or they won't. In the end it won't bring her back….”<br/><br/>Oh boy… that was a bit morbid. Had Thomas had a crush on her or something? Liza wiped the corner of her mouth with her fingernail, careful not to smear her lipstick whilst she continued listening.<br/><br/>“Whatever will be, will be. Nothing we do now is going to change that, so we might as well just wait it out and hope her killer is brought to justice.""<br/><br/>“No no no,” Liza shook her head, “That’s the problem. Don’t you see? What if the killer really<i> isn’t</i>on that list?”<br/><br/>She crumpled up her empty lunch bag, “You said it yourself. Why would anyone pull a prank right before they died? Assuming she saw it coming, Sierra, in her last seconds of life, chose to write down names.<i>Our</i>names. Who’s to say she didn’t die before she was able to finish writing her list? And, more importantly,<i>why</i>did she write it?”<br/><br/>Liza paused for a moment, tossing her crumpled lunch bag into a nearby trash can before turning to face Thomas again, her expression very serious, “If the police are using Sierra’s list as a list of suspects, then that means Sierra suspected each of us when she wrote it. Now, who really has a list that long of people who might want to kill them?” Liza was silent for a moment, seeming to reflect on what she’d just said, before chuckling sheepishly, “Uh—don’t answer that… but really. I mean, think about it.<br/><br/>“We were her friends… not her enemies... supposedly,” Liza couldn’t speak for the other people on the list, “She wrote her own sisters’ names on the list after all, you know? So if it wasn't a list of suspects, then what?”<br/><br/>She shook her head and sighed, resting her elbows on the table, “If what you said is true and the police really aren’t considering anybody not on that list I think we have a serious problem. The killer could be halfway to Tahiti by now....”<br/><br/>She smiled and leaned in close, ""You know... we<i>could</i>do a little bit of snooping around on our own... see if the cops didn't miss anything."""

He wasn't used to sharing emotions and he wasn't quite sure he was doing it right. It didn't feel right anyway, he frowned, looking down between them.<br/><br/>""Uh Yeah, this is just weird ya know?"" He asked, looking at her with a crooked smile, ""I mean, talking about it, it's weird for me,"" He said, giving her a flash of a pained expression. He stepped closer to her, wrapping his arms around her, clasping his hands together and leaning his hip on the counter.<br/><br/>""But this is nice,"" He said with a grin. He let his eyes wander for another moment, ""How are you going to make sure I play?"" He asked, looking at her again. Perhaps she had some hidden talent of persuasion that he didn't know about. It wouldn't surprise him, she could be quite charming when she needed to be. It was probably the accent, he mused. He thought about it, yes, definitely the accent. It made people admire her more. Perhaps admire wasn't the correct word. Awestruck might have been a better one. Cameron was certainly fascinated by her when he first met her. Although, truthfully he'd never thought that she would have felt this way. Of course he wasn't exactly the best in the romance department. She had probably been extremely obvious and he never would have known."

She was not afraid to go toe to toe with Alexis and made it very clear she wanted nothing to do with the media. Edwin would've continued smirking but then he looked back in the kitchen and Elsie comforting her sister. It was at that moment Edwin no longer saw himself as a homicide detective, but he saw two girls who weren't much older than his own daughters. Edwin felt another aspect of his life in him coming to the surface, and it was time for Alexis to see that side of him, and that side was that of a protective father.<br/><br/>He looked at Alexis and said, ""I think Miss Williams has made her feelings blatantly clear, and if she hasn't then allow me to do so."" Edwin felt his backbone stiffen as he imagined his own daughters going through this and said, ""The people in this town are a very tight community. They already have a low opinion of the media and all the attention that this has generated. They know what the facts are about the people who live here. They know these girls and the hell that they're going through and they want to help by giving them their space and dealing with the truth of the situation not the people who have been hurt by it.

They aren't going to be scared off by some tough words and a detective.” She was slowly backing down the stairs, eyeing Detective Rogers as she went. “Here's my card,” she murmured, thrusting a business card towards Elise. “I you ever want to talk, give me a call.”<br/><br/><i>""The people in this town are a very tight community.

It was entirely true that if the police only looked for suspects off the list, the person who actually committed the crime would get away if they weren't on it. The odds of that seemed fairly slim to him, but it was always possible. Even the most unlikely of events had a chance to occur.<br/><br/>""You might have something there. What if the killer planted the list on purpose, as a distraction? Or even saw their name on it and managed to remove it somehow? I don't see how we could come to that conclusion and the police might not though. Detectives have their jobs for a reason, right? The part that really gets to me about all of this though is that the list is of her friends and siblings, at least supposedly. There's only one name on there I don't recognize, but who's to say she didn't have friends, or enemies, outside of school? Why point the finger at her friends though? Which of us would really have a reason to do something so drastic as kill her?""<br/><br/>Drumming his fingers against his lower lip and narrowing his eyes, Thomas thought it all through, considering each name and what he knew of the person behind it. No likely motivations came to mind, but that by no means meant there weren't any.<br/><br/>""Maybe if we could get a look at the list, or even the other evidence... I don't know. I don't think anyone has enough information to really get a picture of what happened, or why. If they had, someone would have been arrested by now. I don't think we're going to outdo a trained homicide detective though. Especially without access to everything they will have."""

I was only offering because you seemed capable. I’ll do it myself if you don’t want to help,” she frowned, shifting her weight to one side and staring fixedly at Thomas.

Her reasoning was good enough for him, he knew his parents wouldn't mind when he explained. Their best friend had just been murdered, they were a little lenient about certain things. Most people thought that Cameron's parents pushed him to play soccer, but they didn't. In fact, they repeatedly asked him to take a break, worried that he would burn himself out but he refused. He was driven and determined to get a soccer scholarship and play in the World Cup or even the Olympics.<hr/>Dylan sighed as she trudged into the lunch room, her half eaten sandwich in her hand. The scowl on her face projected more than irritation, it also portrayed a hint of anger. She'd gone to the art room over lunch to finish a painting and she couldn't finish it because her art teacher had decided to talk to her about the death of Sierra Williams. Really?! Dylan hadn't even known the girl, except for the few times she came to the house to hang out with Cameron and Andrea and everyone was looking at her like she was a lost puppy. It was so irritating. She couldn't paint with people whispering about how tormented she must be behind her back. Dylan did care that Sierra was dead, yes, what she was irritated about was all of the attention she was getting. She just wanted to paint and be ignored, but it was impossible with everyone thinking she was a walking depressed zombie. She growled to herself before she took another bite from her sandwich angrily. Out of the corner of her eye she saw two other students, who had been on Sierra's list. She wondered for a moment if she should talk to them, but she eventually decided against it. Her eyes scanned for an empty table to sit at and unfortunately there weren't any. She grimaced and looked back at the other two, one was standing and with a sigh she walked over and sat down gingerly.<br/><br/>""All of the other tables are full, ignore me,"" She said, taking another bite from her sandwich."

Edwin hated more than ever that he was at her house, because now came the part were the vultures would come in looking for any morsel that they could get in their mouth. Edwin was there to gather information, but the information was personal but necessary for the case. This gave Edwin little sense of peace, and would be of cold comfort to Lyn and Elise.<br/><br/><i>It’s just part of the job, just part of the job. If I keep telling myself that enough maybe one day I’ll actually buy it. </i><br/><br/>Edwin was impressed with the way Elise not only handled Ashley, but her care for Lyn was what Edwin was most impressed with. Elise and Lyn were going to need therapy at some point to deal with all this, but the way they were holding together now was going to go a long way in their healing process.<br/><br/>Alexis didn’t worry Edwin in the least. As they made their way up the stairs Edwin said, “Alexis seems awfully sure I’m going to run into trouble.” He shook his head and said, “Not worried. I’ve gone toe to toe with a guy who had a bomb strapped to himself and was threatening to blow up the Pittsburgh Public Library.” Edwin shrugged his shoulders and said, “Although to be fair; I did have the SWAT Team standing behind me along with 15 other officers surrounding him and guns drawn. Besides anything happens to me Governor Pritchett will be down here with a task force to investigate, so the Sheriff is going to make sure I live to see the end of this case if nothing else.”<br/><br/>When he heard Elise’s question Edwin replied, “I’m looking for what we call an ‘odd sock.’ By that I mean something that stands out from the rest of the items in there. Something that doesn’t look like it belongs. Also we’re looking for something that ties the people on that list to Elise. I refuse to believe those names were just pulled out of a hat. You and your sister have the familial connection and that’s all I’m going on right now. I don’t see any issues worth pursuing with you two at this time, and I want to avoid too many direct questions right now. I just want to get a feel for whom your sister is. Basically we need to go over computer files if she has them, note books, books, you name it.”<br/><br/>Edwin handed Elise a pair of rubber gloves and said, “Please put these on. I want to avoid any cross contamination.”"

Shocked was a little more like it, but he played it off with a smile as Andie pulled him back into the living room. He sat down and rested an arm over the back, giving her a space to lean into his chest if she wished, but before she could sit there was a knock on the door. His eyes darted to it and he momentarily thought that it was one of the teachers, demanding that they get their butts back to school. He laughed at himself on the inside, teachers didn't do things like that.<br/><br/>""Why would I be expecting someone? This isn't my apartment,"" He said to Andie as she walked to the door. He heard someone ask her name, but he didn't move just yet, not until he heard someone asking her to go to the station and something about the William's case. When Andie looked back at him, he was already half-way across the apartment, coming up behind her. He looked over the officer, recognizing him, it was a small town after all. He moved to stand next to Andie, snaking a hand around her hip and pulling her in protectively to his side.<br/><br/>""I'm Cameron Anderson,"" He said, ""I don't understand why Andrea would have to go to the station, like she said, she already told you everything she knows,"" He said lightly."

He walked around the room just taking everything in one piece at a time. Sierra reminded Edwin of his daughter Lindsay. In the sense that everything was just so. Everything had a place and it would go in that place nowhere else. As he began his mental inventory Edwin thought it best not to do much moving of objects around without Elise being in the room. One Elise was Sierra's sister she might be able to tell some stories about the items that could be useful. Secondly Sierra was not too much older than his daughters. Edwin would not be thrilled if he saw detective just poking around either of his daughters' bedrooms so recently after their death. Edwin would not come right out and say it, but he worried about the moment that Elise just lost it. Yes right now she was being strong for her younger sister, but at some point that wall was going to come down. Edwin was hoping that it came down brick by brick, but at this moment it looked as though it was going to be a sudden crash. If that happened Elise would not be getting back up on her feet anytime soon.<br/><br/>Edwin looked around some the stuffed animals while he waited, but never touched any of them. He then noticed something in the back it was a raven.<br/><br/><i>After having been forced to sit through numerous screenings of ""Snow White"" with my daughters I know the one dominant animal was the evil queen's pet. Which was a raven again though not gonna touch anything until Elise comes back. Not to mention if for some reason Lynn comes in here that would just a crushing blow to her. </i><br/><br/>For Edwin though Elise held the possibility of some answers, but he knew he couldn't go but so far.

He wasn't too happy about this, they'd already talked to the police. He sighed though, looking down at Andie as she spoke. He gave her a nod, tight and formal, before looking back at the officer.<br/><br/>""I'll get my stuff,"" He said simply before turning back into Andie's apartment. He grabbed his bag, and after a seconds deliberation, decided to leave the soccer ball on her couch. He'd get it later.<br/><br/>Cameron had left out the part about having feelings for Sierra, he didn't feel it was relevant and now he definitely wasn't going to tell. What if Andie found out? Would that hurt her? Probably, and it would explain why he didn't love her. He hadn't loved Sierra, no, but if he had a choice, he would have chosen her over Andie. He'd never speak those words aloud. Sierra was dead, it was time to forget about his feelings for her. He wondered if she had ever suspected that he liked her. He doubted it, he was always practicing or playing or working. He never had time for relationships, so why was he headed for one now? To keep his friend in town? He did care for Andie, but not like he had cared for Sierra."

You know her so go with that. Start with her 'My Documents' and go through the folders. See if there's anything that stands out to you. Like I've told you think in terms of an 'odd sock'. Like you're looking in a sock drawer and you see the one thing that stands out.""<br/><br/>He walked back over to her closet and began to look around. Edwin noticed that everything is Sierra's world was just so. That everything had a purpose and/or a place there wasn't anything just there for the sake of being there. He saw a box sitting on a top shelf and pulled it down. Edwin opened the box and saw several items that had to do with Sierra being in high school. This struck Edwin as odd, because why would Sierra already be boxing up high-school memories when she still had a couple of more years to go? Did she know something was about to happen? Was she trying to hide something? Edwin said, ""Found a box with high school memories in it. Then again she wasn't done with it so why is she already putting things like this in a box already?""<br/><br/>Edwin started thumbing through and was making mental notes. It was then noticed something about the covers of the year book, school newspapers, and her test scores. Edwin.said, ""What if this box as a whole is the odd sock?"" Edwin began laying everything across the bed and said, ""Look this room is in the upper left hand side of the house. Now look at each upper left corner of each corner there's a letter. Arrange the letters just so and...."" Edwin arranged everything so it spelled out the word ""Raven.""<br/><br/>Edwin smiled and said, ""Nevermore.""

He slid into the back seat, and buckled his own seatbelt, dropping his bag at his feet unceremoniously. He looked over to Andie, seeing and feeling her apprehension as well as his own. He reached for her hand, taking it gently, before looking out of his own window. He hoped this detective was rather dense. He was sure that if he said the right words, the detective would be able to discern that Cameron had feelings for Sierra. Now he was involved with Andie, how did that look?

His eyes locked in on a stack of books and Edwin approached them. According to the spines they were a series of fairy tales and they were very old. Edwin opened up the top book which was a printing of<i> Red Riding Hood</i>and there was an inscription that read ""To Peg, cherish these as I cherish you. Love, Aunt Sally."" Edwin read enough on the family history to know that Peg was their grandmother so these must've been passed down to Sierra. Then Edwin called over to Elise and said, ""Notice this stack of books. See anything odd? Because I do."" He stood next to them and said, ""They're all facing the same way. All but this one in the middle, and I'll bet next year's pay on what book it is.""<br/><br/>Edwin pulled the book out and said, ""Hello<i>Snow White</i>.

What if one of them were accused of killing Sierra? He knew Andie couldn't have killed her, and he knew he didn't kill her, but what if someone was being framed? What if...? He shook his head, frowning. He'd drive himself crazy thinking about what if's.

He loves to entertain others, as long as he is bringing as smile to his face. But at the same time, he is secretive in everything he does- sometimes, even towards those he trusts, being secretive of something as trivial as ""Can I borrow an inkpen?"" <br/>Inner Personality: Dead. Callous, unfeeling. The only expressable emotion in this barren wasteland of soul would be his wrath towards life.<br/>Secret: Nigellus is responsible for the death of his 19 year old sister.<br/>Biography: Nigellus was, at one point, happy. He was the kind of joy you expect when you step out into a warm autumn night with your loved one, sitting under the stars while talking calmly and pointing out constellations. If that was your thing. He lived in a family of five, excluding himself. His newly born sister, Selena, his two-year old brother, Parker, and finally his six-year-old sister, Sarah made up his happy band of siblings. His parents, at the time, were middle aged, enjoying raising their children. Four years went by without incident, until a fateful evening. ""Nigellus."" Nigel said across the dinner table to his son. ""How would you feel about having another brother?"" He asked. ""I think... It sounds pretty great."" Nigellus said. ""Good, good.."" Nigel said, leaving it at that. <br/>Eight months later, Nigellus picked up the ringing phone from its stand. ""Hello?"" He answered. ""Nigellus, when I come home- I will bring your brother with me."" He said, hanging up the phone. Nigel then began sobbing, sitting next to his wife's dead body, cradling his new son in his arms. His wife had the choice of her son, or herself. And she ended up leaving her own life, in place for her son's life. Nigel sat there for several hours, rubbing his wife's hand, unbelieving that she could possibly be dead. He drove himself home that night, waking up Nigellus. Nigellus and his father took turns holding the baby, his father looking on with a somber expression on his face. Inveitably, the question came. ""My brother is so cute!"" Nigellus exlaimed. ""But... Where's mum?"" He asked, looking up at his dad. As the news was broken to his son, they were almost out of tissues by the morning.<br/>Nigellus was hardened by this event, picking up some mischeivious nature from his rough friends he was making at school. They promised that he'd be a cool kid with them. He was constantly tried, succeeding in the tests they had for him. He came home, the days flashing by, and seemingly instantly, his life had already flashed by to age sixteen. He picked up driking, showing up to his youngest brother's birthday drunk. He shared some brandy with his four-year-old brother and then told him not to tell anyone. His brother and he went outside, playing soccer. In minutes, Nigel Jrs. heart stopped. Nigellus stumbled through the house, and his dad found him. ""Where's your brother?"" Nigel asked. ""Ou'side"" Nigellus said, going up to his room. Nigel walked outside, then broke into a fast walk, then a sprint to his son's still body. Nigel slammed the ground, screaming the same word over, and over again. ""NO, NO! DAMNIT, NO!"" Nigel Jr. was dead before the paramedics arrived. Which was almost a day after the fact, because Nigel refused to call them for some time, insistent he could revive his son himself. And, doubled with the fact they lived in isolation on a mountain, that didn't help, either. Nigellus soon became sober, realizing what happened. He threw any bottles of brandy he had down the side of the mountain, washing his system out with pint, after pint of water. When the ambulances did arrive, breathalizer tests on all family members came up false, and the murder of his younger brother was never tied back to Nigellus. Once again, the Rollin household ran out of tissues. <br/>Nigellus, now the age of twenty-one, was living off of an academic scholarship to a highly-respected college. He hadn't talked to his younger sister, Sarah, or any of the family for that matter- in months. He sent his father an email. ""I've scraped together some funds from my waiting job from the college down the street- and I've organised us to go bunjee jumping. Meet me here"" Nigellus put in the street address ""at 4:00 PM, saturday. It'll be fun, the entire family together, for fun."" Nigellus closed his laptop, sitting back in his chair, falling asleep.<br/>At bungee jumping, they were given a quick rundown of the harnesses and how to tie eachother in to the bungee lines. The guides would go over the lines, then drop the floor from under the jumpee, allowing them to fall. Nigellus was about to tie his own bungee cable, seeing that it was loose at one point. He tested it. It seemed fine, but just in case.. ""Nigellus, can you come tie me in?"" Sarah asked. Nigellus, unthinkingly, tied her in with the loose cable. He was still holding on to the loose part with his hand, since he was instructed to hold onto the cable until the jumper had fallen. The floor fell out from under his sister, then Nigellus realized his mistake. Nigellus, speechless, let go of the rope, realizing it was too late. His sister fell, but as soon as the cord went taut, and everyone was waiting expectantly for her to come back through the trapdoor, she never came. Instead, the absence of her presence was the most of her that they got to witness, before she landed head first in shallow water, at the bottomm of the ravine. Nigel, after several moments, realized what happened. The cord snapped. He stepped forwards, punching a guide in the face, then kicking the other one in the balls, making him jump, then punching him in the face. Nigel, wordlessly, with help from Nigellus, got his children back in the car, going back to their house. <br/>Nigellus moved out, dropping out of college, only two days later. And then, he was responsible for a third murder. One of a girl he had never met before. The degree of murder didn't matter to him- all he could see was her face. Haunting him. Nigellus was the man who could kill your children, then get off on a technicality. Or simply never get tried in court. A killer, from the start.<br/>Theme Song: ""The Song of Storms"", Composed by Koji Kondo.</center><br/><center><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/HcOjpG27LEQ?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe></center><hr/>Other<br/><br/>Likes: Entertaining others, and himself.<br/>Dislikes: His family, anyone to tie him back to his own life- he just wants to start anew, escape from his past."

He is replaced by a very focused and straight forward thinking detective. Edwin is not above making a wise crack or comment during a case though. This is his way of coping with what he has seen during his 15 years on the police force and the horrors of a current case. Edwin is driven to get a case solved but never at the expense of due process, nor at the expense of shutting out his partner or other avenues that could be considered “outside the box.” He says what he means and means what he says. Not very open in handing out compliments, but he recognizes the contributions of those help out on a case with either a nod or a “good.”<br/><br/>Inner Personality: Edwin tries to treat each case as isolated moments in his life, but they stay with him and it is something Edwin struggles with. If a killer gets away or gets sprung on a technicality Edwin takes it very hard. While he for the most part is laid back and easy going Edwin is very closed mouth about his job when he is away from the office. The greatest pain in Edwin’s life is that he blames himself for the failure of his marriage to Anne and misses his two children Lindsey and Jane. He focuses in on his job so that he doesn’t have to deal with that pain.<br/><br/>Secret (s): Edwin dealt with a homicide 7 years ago case that resulted in the death of his partner Lenny Montgomery a 20 year homicide detective. Though the investigation cleared him of any wrong doing Edwin knows he is responsible for what happened.<div class=""hider-panel"">

         Edwin is dating a fellow officer Katherine “Katy” Gallado who works in the commissioner's office

</div><br/><br/>Biography: Edwin was born and raised on the streets of Pittsburgh, Pa. He went to the University of Pittsburgh on a Football Scholarship, and if he applied himself he could’ve had a career in the NFL. Edwin’s heart though was in police work ever since he was a child he wanted to be a cop, so Edwin applied himself and went into the academy the day after graduation.<br/><br/>Edwin displayed keen insights and natural gifts for being a great cop and graduated in the top of his class. The Pittsburgh PD was practically begging Edwin to join up and he did so without even thinking twice.<br/><br/>It was a great time in Edwin’s life he had a job he always wanted, he got married, and Edwin became the father of twin girls. It seemed that it couldn’t have gotten better for Edwin, but it did when he became a homicide detective. He was paired up with a vet by the name of Lenny Montgomery, and it was like a dream team. They worked so well together it seemed like any case they were assigned it was solved in a matter of days not weeks. This wasn’t a case of Edwin just riding the coat-tails of the vet Edwin proved that he belonged among the ranks of the best in the division.<br/><br/>Then there was that one night that rocked Edwin’s world. Edwin and Lenny were tracking a serial killer called Twilight through Pittsburgh. They finally cornered him in a warehouse and Lenny wanted to call for back-up, but Edwin’s ego got the better of him and he convinced Lenny that there wasn’t time. (In reality there was time, but Edwin wanted this one). Lenny agreed (reluctantly) that they should go in, and when they did Lenny was the first one through the door. Twilight was waiting for them and killed Lenny in the blink of an eye. Edwin killed Twilight and then there was the investigation and Edwin convinced the board that there wasn’t time to call for back up. The board believed him but Edwin deep inside knows that Lenny was right. The guilt eventually tore Edwin up and he sought professional counseling, but the toll was too much for his marriage and Anne divorced him.<br/><br/>With the help of his therapist Edwin managed to work through his pain, and was determined not to let it happen again.<br/><br/>Theme Song: Edwin is a Springsteen junkie, so his theme song is “Born to Run.” The song starts off strong and has a drive that never lets up. Much like Edwin won’t let up on an investigation and firmly believes that one day he too will walk in the sun.<br/><br/>Other<br/><br/>Likes: Working out, the music of Bruce Springsteen, the Steelers, riding his Harley, his dog Roxy, and wrapping up a case.<br/><br/>Dislikes: Seeing injustice carried out, any music that isn’t Springsteen or in the similar vein, the Baltimore Ravens, reality TV, and mysteries."

She can be pretty childish, getting excited over glittery pens or a new disney movie. Even though she knows she isn't ten anymore, she doesn't really seem to care. She loves holidays and dresses up for them, whether it is Christmas or Fourth of July. She has a very loud personality, and she projects it easily, coming off really strong to most people. She looks like she enjoys life, laughing and screaming. Rarely is she ever in a bad mood. Sometimes her temper gets the better of her, but give her an hour and she'll be smiling again. It's not hard to knock her down, but it's impossible to keep her down. She is pretty easy-going, not a lot bothers her but she doesn't really get involved with other people. She only opens completely up to her best friends and her family and she has learned from her mother to keep her nose out of other peoples business so she keeps her opinions to herself. She will listen to you and give support, but she will only offer her personal opinion on a personal issue if she is specifically asked for it.<br/><br/>Inner Personality:<br/>Dylan is so shy, she has mini panic attacks every day at school, she hates people looking at her and she can't stand walking into a full room alone. She always gets to her class with the crowd, tries to sit in the back, facing the door or a window if possible. She is a little bit claustrophobic, especially in large crowds. She's a little short so if she is standing in between people that she can't see over she feels like they are crushing her. She doesn't like walking up to new people to talk to them, and she hates when she is assigned a group project with people she doesn't know. She takes everything to heart and hates being teased, but laughs along to make people think that it doesn't bother her. Even though she is shy, she is also very compassionate. When she sees people hurting, she can swallow past her fears and help out a complete stranger.<br/><br/>Secret: Her painfully shy personality<br/><br/>Biography:<br/>Dylan has grown up in a normal home, her parents managed to stay together, loving each other and loving their children. Her dad is a construction worker and in his free time he works wood; making beautiful furniture and jewelry boxes and other things. Her mom is a business woman, working in advertisement. She's more in the background than right out front but she does some really good work. Dylan's parents taught her to be proud of her work, and she tries to. When she was about six, she found that she loved painting. Even though she was using watercolors she couldn't get enough of it. She started drawing and reaching out to hone her skills. She got her first set of oil based paint and a canvas when she was eight. Dylan can't stop. She does her own projects, in her room, using her allowance to pay for new paints, brushes, ect. She also had a cow when she found out she could take an entire class about art when she reached high school. Her brother told her that high school would be the worst time of her life, but Dylan is in hog heaven. All up until a girl that she knew by reputation died. Dylan knows her brother was friends with Sienna. It hurts her that others are hurting and she's having a hard time keeping upbeat.<br/>Theme Song: Happy - Pharrel Williams<br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM"">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM</a><br/><br/>Other<br/>Likes: Painting, books, reading, her friends, her family, disney movies, candy, bright colors<br/>Dislikes: People who are rude or tease her('cept her brother cause thats his job), the color yellow, or any food that is yellow by default,<br/><br/>Personal Information<br/>Name: Cameron Anderson<br/>Alias/ Nickname (If Any): Cam<br/>Age: 17<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Appearance (Prefer Picture):<br/><img src=""http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/teddy_9904/Roleplaying%20Pictures/Cameron_zpscd0de89d.jpg""/><br/><br/>Family/ Friends<br/>Mother: Laura Anderson<br/>Father: Matthew Anderson<br/>Sibling/s (if any): Dylan Anderson<br/>Partner: None<br/>Friend/s: Sienna Williams and Andrea Parker<br/><br/>General Information<br/>Current Goal: Win the next soccer game<br/>Talents: Soccer, math, and making friends<br/>Fears: Sustaining and injury that would make playing soccer impossible<br/>Personality:<br/>Cameron is a really friendly guy. He has no problem talking to anyone, whether they be weird or not. He likes talking to people and laughing with them, enjoying a joke or discussing how lame the newest assignment is. He has a lot of people he knows but only a few he considers friends. He's charming, intelligent, and, like his sister, normally in a really good mood. He's easy-going for the most part, until it comes to Soccer. He takes this sport very seriously, never misses a practice or a game, even if he can't play in it. He supports his team, win, lose, or draw and he is pretty serious about professional soccer. He watches most of the games with his dad, something they bond over.<br/><br/>Inner Personality:<br/>Cameron doesn't really hide who he is on the inside. He shows his emotions and doesn't really care what others think. He's pretty sure he's going to be a professional soccer player anyway, he doesn't need to hide who he is. Somethings he does hide a little bit is a more sensitive side. He has a pretty good relationship with his mom and understands girls a little bit better than the average guy. Except his sister, that one is helpless. He is just looking for someone to care for him. Someone who, once past the soccer, will still stick around.<br/><br/>Secret: He really liked Sienna, and feels bad for never speaking up about it<br/>Biography:<br/>Cameron grew up in a pretty normal home. His parents love each other, and taught him how to love as well. When he was a baby, his uncle bought him a mini soccer ball and that is where the obsession started. He was signed up for toddler soccer and he was the only kid actually playing the game. He played on private teams until high school, where he tried out for the school soccer team. His life revolves around soccer, he watches it, plays it, thinks about it and dreams about it. It is his entire life. He is trying for a soccer scholarship in Europe, already trying to better himself. He keeps a great grade point average, making sure to carve out time for homework. Due to this, his social life suffers a little bit, he doesn't normally go to parties unless he has the time for it. With his new job at the local cafe, he doesn't have a lot of time for his friends, but he has a mind to get to Europe and play professional soccer. He'll have time for his friends when he's famous.<br/>Theme Song: It's My Life - Bon Jovi<br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx2u5uUu3DE"">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx2u5uUu3DE</a><br/><br/>Other<br/>Likes: Soccer, and chocolate cake<br/>Dislikes: sleeping late, and dropping things on his feet<br/><br/>Alrighty there we go, do you mind if we have Cameron know Sienna and your character, they were good friends or had a class together or whatever?"

He has few friends but is very close to them, and very loyal. He tries not to let life get him down and is always looking for the silver lining. He often has cynical streaks where it's hard to see the good in life, and is typically unmotivated in these periods. He likes to spend time with other people, but finds it difficult to make new friends. In most social occasions he is quiet and distant, unless accompanied by a good friend. Being an only child he values time alone, but almost always prefers to be with friends. While he tries not to let things get to him, Thomas has a fairly short fuse. He is more likely to give up in frustration than burst out angrily. Fairly shy in the presence of strangers, especially females.<br/>Inner Personality: Thomas wishes very much to be loved, and forms pretty dependent relationships, often feeling lost when not with someone he considers a friend. Among his friends he is fairly outgoing, though he always seems to be keeping something back.<br/>Secret: His family situation<br/>Biography:<br/>Thomas was born and raised never knowing his father. This led him to be very close to his mother when he was young, but distance himself from even her later in life. Very few people ever really seem to know him, and he tries to keep it that way. He's always been a stellar student, earning high marks in every subject. Most people believe him to be a sheltered genius from a wealthy family, mostly because he never talks about the only family he has. His mother works night shifts at a diner and has for most of Thomas' life, and they see little of each other any more. Throughout high school, Thomas has become more social in some aspects and in other ways more introverted. A few people managed to get him out of his shell, but it was only those few he ever talked to. His current academic goal is simply to graduate, being sure of many academic scholarships to see him through college. Everything had been going fine, but since one of the people he actually felt close to died, Thomas has been less stable, mentally and emotionally.<br/>Theme Song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day<br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soa3gO7tL-c"">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soa3gO7tL-c</a><br/><br/>Other<br/>Likes: Silence, night, reading, storms<br/>Dislikes: Loud people, small children, spicy food, amusement parks"

Only those closest to her still call her Lexi.<br/><br/><b>Age:</b>32<br/><br/><b>Gender:</b>Female<br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/><b>Occupation:</b>Reporter<br/><br/><i>Family/Friends</i><br/><b>Mother:</b>Jane Elizabeth Carter-Darwin (62, decased. Retired medical practitioner)<br/><br/><b>Father:</b>Philip James Darwin (63, lives Minnesota with his new wife Shelley. Retired medical practitioner)<br/><br/><b>Siblings:</b>Tobias James Darwin (35, married and living in Ontario, Canada with his wife and three kids. Works as an architect), Carter Lucas Darwin (33, living up the bachelor lifestyle. He has lived in LA for a little over ten years and is a very successful director)<br/><br/><b>Partner:</b>Her marriage ended quite messily and very abruptly, leaving Alexis shaken and even fearful.<br/><br/><b>Friend/s:</b>As a kid, Alexis had her share of friends, even though they mostly liked her because she had money. Now, she prefers spending time by herself or working. Therefore, Alexis doesn’t necessarily have ‘friends’, mostly just acquaintances who she will sometimes pass the time with.<br/><br/><i>General Information</i><br/><b>Current Goal:</b>Trying to further herself in her career, no matter what the cost. Also trying to work through and get over some personal trauma that proves most difficult to “get over”.<br/><br/><b>Talents:</b>Alexis is a very talented writer. As a child she dreamed of being an author, a dream that she still someday wishes to fulfill. She is also very musically inclined and is quite knowledgeable.<br/><br/><b>Fears:</b>Herself. Alexis is scared of her own feelings, thoughts and desires. The last time she let her fanatical wants control her, Alexis was hurt pretty badly. She does not want to go back to that vulnerable state that she has finally (somewhat) escaped from. She also fears betrayal, more then anything else, and will stop at nothing to protect herself from it.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>Amiable, eloquent, cunning and bold. Alexis Darwin is, on the outside, a perfect example of what a reporter should be. She is dedicated to her work and to giving a story that is both informative and engrossing. However, off the screen she has a wall that she puts around herself. Alexis doesn’t allow people to get to know more then her surface personality. Because of this, people will often find her cold and angry when they try to get to know her more. Suiting, really, because Alexis is a remote person who can’t stand other people seeing her weaknesses and flaws. Her fear of letting other people in certainly protects her from the turmoil that some people can cause, yet it does nothing when it comes to forming friendships. Instead of trying to make friends, Alexis buries herself in work as a way to escape from her darkest, most unpleasant secrets.<br/><br/><b>Inner Personality:</b>Despite her chilling persona, a desperate, heart broken woman lives inside Alexis. A woman who craves the attention and love that was deprived from her during her awful marriage. She wants to let everything out, to tell people everything about her life and explain to them why it is that she has to be so distant, but if she did that she would be exposing herself to pain and betrayal by those she opens up to. Her fear of betrayal is worse then her need of companionship, so she keeps all her feelings hidden deep within herself.<br/><br/><b>Secret:</b>Alexis’ most haunting secret is in all ways related to her last, and only, relationship. Her husband, a seemingly kind, gentle and perfect man, was abusive, mean-spited and down right awful. The reason that this has been kept a secret for her is because the one time she managed to build up the courage to tell her mom, Alexis was told to “get over it” and “suck it up”. She had to coach herself through leaving him and making a new life for herself.<br/><br/><b>Biography:</b>Alexis had a very normal childhood. Her parents had waited until later on in life to start a family, so that by the time kids rolled around everything would be financially stable and their children would never have to suffer. What Mr. And Mrs. Darwin never anticipation was the petty jealousy of young girls, and even though Alexis may of had every material good a child could ever want, she still longed for a true friend who didn’t pretend to like her because her family had money. Yet, Alexis grew accustomed to the fake, spitefulness of her peers and chose to tough it out. She forced herself to make friends, unfortunately hers were the kind that you had to watch out for or else they would stab a knife in your back without a second thought. Alexis suffered through high school, thanks to a very kind psychiatrist who loved to dole out pills for all sorts of<i>marvelous</i>illnesses that Alexis apparently had, and in her graduating year she found her passion in writing and reporting.<br/><br/>This is when Alexis’ life took a turn, in her first year of college she met a kind, funny and handsome man named Oliver Williams. The two quickly fell in love, and their whirlwind romance concluded in a picture perfect wedding only three months later. Everything happened quickly, and no one ever questioned the motives behind Oliver’s actions. To everyone in Alexis’ life, he was exemplary. However, Alexis soon learned that this was not the case. After a year of post-marital bliss, Oliver changed. It started out small, he would fume over things like the quality of their diner or if Alexis put things in the “wrong” place. Over the course of their ten year marriage Oliver’s small fits of anger turned into burst of violence and rage. He made his wife feel weak, powerless, inconsequential. He controlled who she saw, what she did and the last straw for Alexis was when he tried to make her quit her job. Alexis was finally at a good place in her career, which had been unstable before she was hired by a magazine company based out of her home town, She was proud and happy about her accomplishment, that is until Oliver told her that she must quit her job. There was no room for debate, especially after Oliver’s fists came into play. That night Alexis packed up a small suitcase and left, scared and broken. She spent the night at a dingy motel, not getting a wink of sleep because all she could imagine was Oliver, bursting through that door and dragging her back home. Fortunately that never happened. The next morning Alexis quit her beloved new job and moved far away. Luckily something was finally going her way and Alexis got a job at a low budget newspaper company that reported on all of the town's news. Although it wasn't much, Alexis was fine with it, at least it was far away from her ex-husband and she at least had the distance as a barrier.<br/><br/>The calls, emails, texts and letters that she had consistently received from her tormentor stopped almost a year ago, however Alexis still lives her life constantly on edge, never quite feeling safe.<br/><br/><b>Theme Song:</b><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/OpWO_byqSr8?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/><i>Other</i><br/><b>Likes:</b>feeling safe, working, reading, writing. silence<br/><br/><b>Dislikes:</b>, The sound of her phone ringing, free time, the night"

You stated you were going to resign, so I tried and I gave you the option of having a go and I hadn't heard from you in the days since so I did remove your character from the roster. Please, don't think that I'm being a bitch, I'm just being honest. From what happened I gained the impression that you no longer wanted to be in the roleplay.

She has dark, shoulder length hair that was once a dirty blonde, gold/hazel eyes, and light skin. She looks older than she really is due to the way she dresses and does her makeup (not to mention her womanly assets)—so most strangers would mistake her for a college student in passing.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><i>Family/ Friends</i></span><br/><b>Mother:</b>Rachel Montgomery<br/><b>Father:</b>Fred Montgomery<br/><b>Sibling/s:</b>Derek Montgomery (30, lives in L.A.)<br/><b>Partner:</b>None (or, arguably, many)<br/><b>Friend/s:</b>TBA<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><i>General Information</i></span><br/><b>Current Goal:</b>Graduate from high school so she can go live with her brother, Derek—then, from there, become a famous actress. Simple.<br/><br/><b>Talents:</b>acting, dancing, singing, fashion, judo, track & field, honesty<br/><b>Fears:</b>nyctophobia, being hurt/deceived, ""being stuck in this hell hole for the rest of her life""<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>Liza easily comes off to most as broody, stuck-up, and (most likely) scheming. She's typically very quiet-- when she isn't at parties, which is where most can hear her singing at the top of her lungs or going on and on about TV shows, movies, and celebrities.<br/><br/><b>Inner Personality:</b>Liza is very brave, independent, and both mentally and physically strong (if not a little headstrong as well). She may come off as stuck-up, but she's really just a hardcore introvert. She doesn't ""use"" guys or untruthfully lead them on. She takes pride in her relentless honesty and can hardly believe how many people are so eager to point the accusing finger at her for being a terrible person when they're the ones all lying to each other on a daily basis. This has resulted in her not making very many friends. Not having very many friends has never really bothered her much and she doesn't care what most people think of her. This is partially because she's always hanging onto her dream that one day she'll live in L.A. and everything will be better.<br/><br/>Liza is actually very intelligent, although she isn't in any honors classes and has been accused by most teachers of ""not properly applying herself"". In reality, Liza isn't at all dull-- she simply considers most of the things being taught to be completely useless to her. When is she ever going to have to know quantum theory in her future career? The only classes she ever attends on a regular basis are her history classes and elective classes for acting and dance. Telling Liza her dream is pointless would be about as effective as telling a chair it's anything but a chair. To Liza, her dream is a fact and her ears aren't open to any contradicting opinions concerning that fact.<br/><br/><b>Secret:</b>Liza comes from an abusive home / her nyctophobia<br/><br/><b>Biography:</b><br/>Anyone with a pair of ears at Liza’s high school knows everything they need to know about Liza Montgmery-- and that is that you should never leave your boyfriend alone in a room with her. Most know her, basically, as the high school slut. She wears fashionable, rich looking clothes and wears a lot of makeup (especially eyeliner and lipstick), so most kids assume she’s just an attention whore/spoiled brat from some super rich family-- most likely born with a silver spoon in her mouth.<br/><br/>Most (but not all) of the rumors, however, are really just that—rumors. Especially the outlandish ones like how she hooked up with Mr. Hamilton, the science teacher, and ruined his marriage with Mrs. Hamilton, the school counselor—who now goes my her maiden name. Some are keen enough to see that Loose Liza is mostly just the scape-goat for most fallacious douchebags so they can keep going out with lady number 1 and 2 without a care in the world, but those keen figures are just as keen not to be seen fraternizing with a girl like Liza—for fear of their own reputation, most likely. At parties and school dances she’s been known to always show up either drunk or high, talk loudly, and dance like she’s trying to get people to slip money under her spaghetti straps or down her cleavage—which did actually happen once. The football player that did it was the talk of the school for at least two weeks and, reportedly, even got a girlfriend out of it….<br/><br/>What most people don’t know is the<i>actual</i>backstory of Liza Montgomery—which isn’t nearly as pretty as most people assume. Her mother, Rachel, married a 25 year old Fred Montgomery when she was only 19 years old. The two, however, had been living together for nearly two years before getting married—Rachel’s parents were as devastated as parents could be to see their one and only child run off with a drug-using partyholic like Fred—a man who couldn’t hold a job, dropped out of college, and was constantly in and out of jail for various reasons. But Rachel loved him through it all and, through her shy and quiet nature, didn’t raise a word of protest when their wedding turned out to be nothing more than a drive to the courthouse—she was already 4 months pregnant anyway, so… whatever was best for the baby, she figured. She didn’t protest when her husband insisted she not go outside wearing tank tops or shorts. Nor after five years when she was working two jobs while he stayed at home, drank, and watched TV all day. There were a lot of things Rachel never complained about over the years.<br/><br/>And there was<i>a lot</i>to complain about.<br/><br/>This was the life Liza Elizabeth Montgomery was born into. In spite of watching her quiet mother reel at verbal and physical abuse daily, she blossomed into a headstrong and confident young woman—quite the opposite of her mother. Liza was left far from unscathed in the confines of her broken home, however. She harbors a severe phobia of the dark—a problem that manifested itself late one night when her father was in a drunken rage and Rachel quickly shoved and locked a small seven year old Liza in a stuffy, windowless closet. The sound of breaking glass bottles of liquor and her mother’s screams, followed by a thud, preceded 6 hours of traumatizing hell for Liza while she sat in the dark and cried, listening to the violent late night horror movies her father liked to watch on TV drone continuously until her mother finally came to and let Liza out.<br/><br/>Liza took up Judo when she was 15-- paying for her own lessons. Doing so helped her finally stand up against her dad's frequent beatings and ultimately gave her the upper hand when it came to all the fights she was constantly getting in at school-- an inevitable result of her stepping on so many girls' toes when it came to her so called ""despicable"" dating style.<br/><br/>Since she was 14, Liza has been finding ways to work and earn money. As a result of her more edgy demeanor and the circulating rumors, babysitting was never really an option. So she found herself doing slightly more arduous labor like walking people's dogs, house cleaning, and even mowing yards and shoveling snow. Since she turned 16 she's been working at the local frozen yogurt place and just recently took on a second job as a pizza delivery girl, which is the real reason she hasn't been to very many school dances or parties as of late. Not because she got an STD, is on parole for shooting up meth, or was grounded for the first time in her life for selling her mother's expensive jewelry on ebay.<br/><br/>With graduation fast approaching, Liza has been saving up like mad to finally high tail it to California to join her brother. Derek did the same thing when he graduated and turned 18-- living with a friend for almost a year while riding on a scholarship he had to some prestigious college there. He's now been doing quite well for himself in the advertising industry. The two have been making plans with each other over Facebook for almost as long as Liza could remember-- plans to live n L.A., send money back to mom every now and then, and make it big in life.<br/><br/>But Liza has yet another reason why she's now itching to finally get out of town. A problem with a currently ongoing investigation. A problem that's been plastered all over the news lately. A problem with a face that's been equally plastered on the walls all throughout her school. A problem with a name...<br/><br/><i>Sierra Williams.</i><br/><br/><b>Theme Songs:</b><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/VmOO5Y1wiIA?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/n1VTcJfL7RE?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><i>Other</i></span><br/><b>Likes:</b>sushi, sorbet, spicy food, the color purple, roses, Angelina Jolie, Chris Hemsworth, rock and roll, P!nk<br/><b>Dislikes:</b>Mondays, lies, the dark, Fred Montgomery, violence"

In his life time, he had fought the war of 1812, became a senator, and eventually became United States president. He fought hard for his country, keeping out the invading British. He also allowed his people to expand through the continent only at the cost of kicking out the indigenous tribes. Jackson survived numerous duels, and likewise numerous assassinations. Once, he beat his would be assassin to death. Cities were named after him and statues were built in his honor.His death would be remembered, carried in the memory of every American citizen and the tears of every native. Then, by some cruel twist of fate, the president had been revived- forced to fight a war after his time and against enemies who he did not even know the names of. Like in his past, he survived the battles. One by one, they fell beneath the President's feet. He climbed to the finale of the Nexus of Worlds tournament.<br/><br/>And there he was, standing. Andrew Jackson stood erect before a boy carrying a flag on a horse. The president, naturally, saluted to the flag and began his country's anthem. The boy would quickly join in. After concluding their song, Jackson broke from his salute. ""Thank you sir"" he said, a tear almost in his eye. He was quite fortunate to make it so far, and even more fortunate he would have his final decisive fight in his home country.<br/><br/>Jackson checked his gun for ammo and put it back, before making sure his sword was where he left it. The president looked down at his shoes, which despite being nearly completely dissolved in acid two fights ago, had been restored.<br/><br/>""Alright. I'm ready."""

Truly, the gods wept at the sight. The demon was meant to be decapitated by a fearsome swordsman, eaten by an eerie arachnid, but instead, realities had imploded and sent him straight to the final match. Before the eyes of a man who's legend stretched far past the dimensional boundaries of the multiverse. Andrew Jackson.<br/><br/>Every denizen of hell with a basic education, provided so neatly by the Wicked man, knew about the heinous deeds of the fabled president. He who had sent so many mangled souls to the pits that they had to dig another row just to make space. He who had then inspired an entire continent to live up to his ideals, to become better people, robbing them of the opportunity of descending into the everlasting fires upon their untimely passing. He who had kicked every single infernal agent pushed against him as a result back to the darkness. Fucking Andrew Jackson. When he finally went down, he gone and went to heaven. This time around, things would be different. Fuchsia had an obligation to all the shitty bastard that came before him. An obligation to make sure that asshole went down. Down to the pits. Everyone knew that kind of deed would earn him a solid rank up straight to the top. Fuchsia the duke? Had a nice ring to it. He would finally be able to leave his child body behind. He checked his equipment. The spidersperm from his previous fight was gone, good. His Hellzooka remained fully functionable and active, his dagger had been returned to his hip, and the two skullnades rested on his rear, attached to his belt.<br/><br/>Fuchsia leaned forward, eyes narrowed on the prize. The wind caressed his black curly hair, his undeveloped horns left unmoved. He smiled widely, his sharp teeth glistening in the sun. Saliva poured out of his mouth, out of the pure ecstasy of anticipation, and onto the dry muddy ground of the rodeo-themed arena he and Andrew was to fight in. There was a man on a horse between the two, swaying the banner of the American nation and singing the country's national anthem along with the president. Fuchsia joined in, loudly.<br/><br/>""Oh, say! can't you see? This a man's final fight!<br/>What so proudly he hailed, was a nation long dreaming;<br/>Whose broad stripes and bright stars, is as dead as the night,<br/>Oh the rampage I'll bring, Will be gallantly screaming.<br/>And my rocket's red glare, skullnades bursting in air,<br/>Come die by my might, then your corpse I will tear:<br/>Oh, say! Will your blood-stained defeated body wave<br/>In the land of which I see, On the stone of your grave?""<br/><br/>The rider, disturbed by Fuchsia's bastardation of the classic, rode away into the horizon. ""Fuck freedom."" the demon said. A rocket came screaming after the boy, and blew him, his horse, and the american flag, into tiny little pieces of oppressional symbolism. Fuchsia turned towards the president, stared at him. His body language shouting ""what are you going to do about it?"" - It was the silence before a storm."

""How dare you make a mockery of my great nation. You see partner, the way I see it: you're either for this nation or against it. Now I ain't no diplomat- oh wait, yeah I am, but I digress. If you ain't for this nation, that means you're against it; and you know what that means? One of two things: You're either a terrorist or a commie. I don't care how young you look. Now tell me son. Which one of those are you?"" Andrew Jackson thought about it for a bit. As he spoke, he had his sword out with the blade on the ground. He walked around, occasionally lifting the sword a bit only to have it fall back to the ground. He stopped soon enough, holding his hands out, as if he were carrying a small stone. Then, it turns out there was a stone; a stone shaped like an egg. Except it wasn't a stone, it was in fact an egg which hatched and quickly grew into a fully grown bald eagle.<br/><br/>""See this? This is a symbol of America's freedom. As long as this little critter stays alive, he will remain a beacon of hope. And freedom."" The president released his grip of the eagle, setting it free as it flew off into the distance. ""Now go free"" Andrew said as the bird slowly disappeared from sight. ""As I was saying. You're either for this country or against it. As an American, I can't have nobody harming this country or its people. The way I see it you've done both of these things. That makes you a repeat offender, and I can't have none of that."" The president picked up his sword and held it in both hands before making a mad dash towards Fuschia.<br/><br/>Dirt was kicked backwards, shrouding a bit of the background behind the president in dust. The president raised his sword high into the air before coming in to slash at Fuschia, the blade aimed at the boy's shoulder. As the dust settled, three letters were revealed- the letters Andrew Jackson had marked with his sword. It spelled ""USA""."

The oh-so-great nation of Andrew Jackson was built upon a foundation of self-propelling propaganda and nonsense. A foundation the legend himself had helped build, but which had collapsed into a corrupted, twisted version of itself upon his passing. Nowadays, the nation was waging wars left and right, in the name of freedom and democracy! To liberate the poor souls that knew not better than to think that the soil they grew up to belonged to them! Such blasphemy! Thank go-.. You know who, that 'Murica is ready to take them on! Ready to free them from the wretched shackles of their oppression. Of dictators, of terrorists, of foreign threats! Always ready to step up and show the world how it's done. Walking in the shadow of former president Andrew Jackson, they'll even help the environment by removing all of that black cancerous oil off the lands of their allies. Such selflessness! Trust in USA to save the day! - The difference? Fiends have the good decency to admit their wicked ways.<br/><br/>Fuchsia watched the president unfold his nationalistic ritual. From his hands, an eagle formed and flew into the air, soaring majestically like a majestic eagle flapping it's wings like an eagle. As long as it lived, Andrew said, it would remain a beacon of hope, a symbol of America's freedom. Poetic. The great leader continued talking, but the demon couldn't hear him over the sound of his Hellzooka throwing out insults as three rockets made their way across the field towards the soon-to-be extinct bird. Their screams came ever closer at an alarming pace, likely blasting it's frail little body to pieces before it even got to fully enjoy it's brief but brutal life, showering the area with feathers.<br/><br/>""COMMUNISM RULES!""<br/>""BRING BACK SLAVERY!""<br/>""YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT!? THEY DIDN'T SET THE BAR VERY HIGH!""<br/><br/>Then, out of nowhere. Well, okay, it was pretty straight-forward, but this was the finale, so some descriptional liberties had to be taken. Coming straight at him with a sword gripped tightly in his hands, Andrew Jackson was charging. Like a raging bull, the former president was prepared to deliver his own brand of justice, or whatever the fuck his intentions were. Fuchsia, to be honest, got a bit carried away with the bird. So his prey got so close that the demon child instinctively stood his ground and lashed out with his Hellzooka instead of increasing the distance and keeping the fight a ranged one, using his weapon's alternate function as a gigantic spiked metallic club, it's massive three meter length enabling him to reach Andrew before he even got close enough to strike at him. His feet shifted, his left foot behind, right foot in front. His torso twisted left, then right, his right hand gripping the handle of his club, he swung it left to right horizontally with great force, aiming at Andrew's lower torso, aiming to do some serious harm, if not outright crippling him right then and there on a direct on."

""My bird!"" Jackson shouted. Quickly, he made another one, sending it off. ""Aight, that'll be my symbol of freedom."" He said, the new eagle flapping away, Jackson hoping it wouldn't be hit again. For a twelve year old, Fuchsia was awfully strong, being capable of hefting such a weapon. Of course, Jackson himself was fairly powerful, able to withstand the test of time.<br/><br/>But he didn't like Fuchsia. Not one bit. ""What the fuck did you just fucking say?"" Jackson exclaimed, still fighting off the boy's weapon. The president spared no time to shift hos own weight. He only pulled up the sword, using the fulcrum of the hellzooka. Jackson pushed his blade forward, attempting to plunge the sword into Fuchsia's face."

It was not often he faced an opponent who could stop a solid hit from his swing without even flinching. Not amongst humans at least. He was honestly surprised, but the moment was not exploited by Andrew, who instead opted to complain about his dead bird, before summoning a new one. Silly really, the demon child was not about to just stand around while the freedom fighter talked. Fighters fight.<br/><br/>""Alright, that'll be my-.."" Was as far the president got before Fuchsia dashed backwards, pulling the trigger 0,1 seconds after doing so. A single rocket hurled itself towards Andrew Jackson from a point of origin 6,6 feet away from him, aimed at his torso. The demon child halted his movement more or less a second afterwards, placing him roughly 66 feet away from his starting position. Upon stopping, he turned his Hellzooka towards the -new- symbol of freedom, and fired another two rockets. He wasn't about to allow Andrew Jackson the liberty of feasting his eyes upon the nationalistic propaganda that was the bald eagle. Such luxuries was for the living. The Hellzooka itself had shouted out a plethora of insults, but they were drowned out by the screaming faces mounted at the head of the rockets, fired at such close proximity, if not also detonated, that he could only faintly make out the fact that it spoke at all."

He landed in a kneeled down position, his Liberty Brand held high up, aimed towards the other two rockets. A firework shot towards them, detonating the first one, thus detonating the second before it could reach the bird. ""You know, I thought you demon folks loved freedom. I mean, you guys spend a hell lot of time avoiding the law right? The big man up stairs? Or are you trying to fight fire with fire?"" Jackson retorted. ""But you know"" he started ""The only big man you gotta talk to now is me. And the only fire you gotta fight... is also me!""<br/><br/>""Freedom go!"" Jackson shouted, a bird flying from the tips of his fingers. The eagle shot straight towards Fuchsia, its eyes clearly intent on striking the demon's head. It flew left and right, weaving some kind of pattern in the air as it approached. ""On average, the eagle flies up to 32 miles an hour"" Andrew Jackson explained. ""The maximum air speed is roughly 200 miles per hour. I don't know much about birds or speed, but I'm pretty sure that's real damn fast."""

Stubbs had never been much of a thinker. Not much of anything really. He had dropped out of kindergarden, didn´t know how to read or write, or even how to count properly. Kind of a retard, really. Worked all his life at the local peanut factory. Sixty fucking years. Early on, he discovered how satisfying peanut butter felt when rubbed on his genitalia. For the entirety of his employment, he ejaculated into the factory mixer. Until he died of a heart attack, and plunged into it himself, adding his corpse to the ingredients of Nutty´s crazy peanutbutter mix! Here he was, at the tip of a rocket, speeding at a velocity that would bring Gandhi to shame, if Gandhi had ever had anything to do with shit that involved high-speed movement. Normally, Fuchsia´s rockets detonated themselves whenever they got within the kill radius of their targets, but not Stubbs. Stubbs was retarded, and kept on flying. Where was he going? No one knows, but some say that in between the muffled schreeching of the rocket´s screaming, his lust for Nutty´s peanutbutter was announced yet again!<br/><br/>As the president, yet again, started talking. Fuchsia took aim, making sure to hit his mark perfectly this time. What would Andrew do? Shoot fireworks at him? Charge him? He didn´t care, whatever happened, a well placed rocket would stop it. ""Freedom go-.."" Andrew Jackson shouted, and Fuchsia immediatly pulled the trigger, hurling a rocket perfectly towards his hand, just as a bird popped out of it, exploding the bird into bits of flesh, bone, feathers and blood, dangerously close to Andrew Jackson himself. Likely dealing quite some damage to him as well.<br/><br/>""WHEN YOU WANNA SHOOT, SHOOT, DON´T TALK!"" the Hellzooka shouted.<br/><br/>Not a word came out of Fuchsia´s mouth."

By the time the Hellzooka fired, however, Andrew Jackson was able to pick it up and make a quick jump backwards; leaping just far back enough as to not be caught in the explosion. ""Fuck you! I'll talk whenever I want you dirty commie!"" Jackson snorted. He picked up his sword and both hands, apparently grasping it incredibly tightly. He reared it back as if to swing it, before making a running jump towards Fuchsia. The president further expressed his freedom of speech by shouting ""USA!"" before the tip of his Liberty Brand touched the ground, breaking into the dirt.<br/><br/>The president vaulted off of the sword, once again flying into the air. He grabbed onto his rifle, which swung wildly in the air before he snatched the handle. Aiming it towards Fuchsia, Jackson simply sprayed and prayed."

The guy was as slow as Stubbs, but then again, he was human, so.<br/><br/>While Andrew talked the talk, Fuchsia prepared himself fully for his next course of action, his fingers clenching the club handle of his Hellzooka so tightly that his massive gauntlets let off numerous metallic clanks and clinks, the sound of joints coming together. He bent his knees, took a deep breath, and exhaled. Andrew Jackson started running towards him, still he waited, Andrew planted his sword into the ground, and vaulted off it. An opening, as big as any. The red swordsman had taught him that. Fuchsia kicked off from the ground, and launched himself into the air at a velocity far greater than what the president could achieve, launching himself at him like a missile, meeting him in mid-air perfectly. He swung his club with massive force upwards vertically, aiming to not only smash him to a bloody pulp, but also launch him the fuck off into the air, even if he were to block the blow. Dodging it was out of the question, lest the man sprouted wings and flew off.<br/><br/>Bullets peppered around Fuchsia during his approach, a few even hit him in the chest and shoulders, bouncing right off him, some leaving a few bruises at most, but that kind of shit was not nearly enough to stop him. Oh no. President Andrew Jackson was about to go to heaven, and not in the afterlife kind of way."

There he felt free and could move in as many directions as he could perceive. Of course, the only numbers he needed to know were 50 stars and 13 stripes. Andrew Jackson dropped his gun. He felt no need for it being as high up as he was. The president simply moved his hand up to his forehead to give a salute to the sky, a salute to his bright blue American sky. His gun stayed slightly upwards in relation to Jackson himself who was in fact falling. Fuchsia, on the other hand, was in fact rising, having jumped up to meet the president midair. He swung his hammer, and Jackson didn't care. He was too free to care.<br/><br/>The president put his arms foreword, grabbing the spikes with his bare hands and gripping them tightly. The dirty towel head zombie had a similar tactic. Jackson didn't like using terrorist tactics, but he had no choice but to. Maybe he'd give the zombie citizenship for teaching such a move. No, he wasn't nearly American enough. Andrew Jackson held the spike tightly. Using the spikes, the president attempted to climb to the other side, and clinging with one arm. Both of Andrew Jackson's hands were American, and therefore they were both free- however, one was actually free. As in, free to grab at whatever it wanted. Using said hand, Jackson decided he wanted to smack the boy. He reared his arm and attempted to smack Fuchsia right on the arm.<br/><br/>""Your name was Fuchsia right? That's a purplish color?

He's in mid-air, getting hit by something that is going to push him upwards upon impact, unless he can somehow halt his movement in the air by use of some ability, he's not going to be throwing anyone anytime soon :P<br/><br/>I'm pretty sure you see why, but just in case; To throw something, or deliver any physical force, there has to be an amount of force behind the throw/punch. Unless Andrew Jackson freezes himself in mid-air, he could be as strong as 10 000 bulls, but would still be completely unable to use that force effectively without any momentum. He is, upon impact, about to fall downwards; his weight is far from enough to halt the oncoming blow, which has a considerable amount of momentum and force behind it.<br/><br/>Man, that was hard to explain, I don't really know if I got the point across.

The club is coming at him at incredible velocity. The combination of Fuchsia jumping (which is already pretty darn fast) and swinging, makes for a rather fast and powerful swing. Sure, he can grab a hold of the spikes (which is difficult, but he is American, so), but the swing isn't going to stop because of it. Might want to take that into consideration.<br/><br/>Just because it's a spiked -club- doesn't mean it's any less lethal. Would Andrew climb around a sword like that? ;)"

She already knew that Hogwarts would be full of people like her, though those were the extremists. Looking down to the sleeping woman in the room with her, she carefully exited the room. She was in a large t-shirt, one of Charlie's old ones that she had snagged the first night the Order asked her to stay in the Weasley Household. Underneath the large t-shirt was a pair of short bed short, and as she walked through the house, quietly, she knew it looked like she wasn't wearing much.<br/><br/>Finally, she made it into the kichen, and she noted Molly was up bright and early, making breakfast. It was very early, the sun not up quite yet, but Ophelia knew that after the events of the previous night, no one would be sleeping well. They had gathered Harry from Little Whinging, and Mad-Eye had died and George had lost an ear. Another reason why Ophelia's mind was so heavy, people she loved and cared about were on the line and she was torn between everything.<br/><br/>""Good morning, Lia."" Molly smiled, and Lia gave a rather weak smile as she walked over and fixed herself a cuppa.<br/><br/>""Good morning."" She greeted back, though her features didn't bear the same light. She sat at the table, and began drinking her cuppa.<br/><br/>""How are you feeling? You are up early. Charlie was a little worried about you last night, especially after you got knocked off your broom. Good thing Oliver and Luka were there, I suppose. Heard Oliver caught you after you fell."" Molly was worried, and Ophelia wouldn't deny that she was still sore from it all, but the deed was done. Harry was safe.<br/><br/>""I'm alright. More worried about George than anything, but he just needs rest."" Ophelia said, taking another sip of her tea. ""Are we the only ones up?""<br/><br/>Molly shook her head. ""Charlie is outside, and I think Oliver was sitting up in the room they were sharing. Arthur will be down in a few moments too."" She said. Ophelia nodded, and she got up, hugging the red haired matriarch.<br/><br/>""Thank you."" She whispered before headed outside. It was chilly, but she didn't bother to go back inside and grab her jacket. Rather, she walked out to the forest where she found Charlie with a garter snake. ""Morning.""<br/><br/>Charlie looked over to her and set the snake down. ""You okay? You look rough."" Leave it to Charlie to be honest with her, but what more could she ask of her best friend. ""Oliver asked about you last night. I mean, after you got hit with that curse and he caught you, you weren't flying the same. You know he would catch onto that of all people.""<br/><br/>She sighed. ""I was in pain, I am still sore. But I will be fine. I just came out to check on you. I know you were sitting with Fred and George most of the night. How is he?""<br/><br/>Charlie gave Ophelia's hair a tousle and a small sigh. ""I'm worried, Lia. And George is in pain, but what do you expect?""<br/><br/>She gave a nod, and she hugged Charlie. ""Let's get inside."" Ophelia said before heading towards the door, and Charlie nodded.<br/><br/>""What's on your mind?"" He asked, and Ophelia gave a half scoff, half laugh.<br/><br/>""Everything."" She mumbled.<br/><br/>*~*~*~*<br/><br/>It had been a long night, and something about them was just going to get longer. George hadn't slept well at all, not until he finally passed out. He had pain throbbing in the side of his head because of his lack of an ear. He knew Charlie and Luka had been in and out all night, and Fred hadn't left his side. It was a rather odd feat. George.may have gotten the worst injuries, but he knew he wasn't the only one to sustain some. He was just a little conscious, thinking about last night, but he was fading in and out.<br/><br/>Their mum had peered in, he knew, but the spinning of his head was something he thought it was just everything blending together, but now that he was becoming more aware, he knew it wasn't. He groaned, trying to lift his head, but the pressure was making it impossible to bear.<br/><br/>""Georgie?"" A groggy Fred inquired, and George just rolled over.<br/><br/>""My head."" He grumbled. ""Did we knock heads last night?"" he attempted to joke, but it wasn't working.<br/><br/>Fred softly chuckled. ""You're losing touch , Georgie."" He teased, but George turned back over and saw the worry plain on his twin's face. It was heart wrenching. ""I am going to get mum, see if she can help with the pain."" He said before leaving the room.<br/><br/>George turned, and sat up, his head throbbing. He could feel the bandages around his head, and it felt weird. He cradled his head in his hands and closed his eyes. And today was jam packed of things to do for the wedding in just two days. What a day already."

In fact, the whole house seemed to be eerily quiet and she knew the Weasley family; they hardly ever were quiet. Luka Ashcroft hated the silence. It reminded her of what had happened last night. Pulling on a pair of pants she left the room. Her eyes were still puffy from crying and the lack of sleep but she was sure that the others would be in worse shape. Most of her night had been spent with Fred and George. Halfway down the hall she met up with Ginny; the two falling from their impact. “Sorry,” Luka said as she offered her hand to Ginny. The red haired girl smiled slightly, or she tried to at least.<br/><br/>“How was George?” Ginny asked. She had been unable to see her brothers last night, being the youngest she had always thought that her brothers were near invincible. Of course she knew they could get hurt but she never expected them to be seriously injured.<br/><br/>“As good as he can be. It’s been a few hours since I last sat with him.” Luka had only left the twins two hours ago so she could get some sleep. It had been a failure as only small handfuls of time were given away to slumber. “I’m going to check on him and maybe, hopefully, Fred can get some sleep.”<br/><br/>Ginny nodded and let the girl pass silently. Luka sighed softly as she stood outside of the Twins’ bed room. Opening the door to find Fred gone and George sitting up, Luka shook her head. “Hey George,” she said quietly as she made her way over to him. She wondered briefly where Fred was; perhaps he had gone to get their mum or dad. “I probably know the answer already but how are you feeling?” She had feared last night that he would have died. Luka held the twins dear to her heart, more so than anyone else in her life. If one of them died she didn’t know what she would do with herself. Probably go insane.<br/><br/>The young witch gently touched the side of his arm, “Is there anything you need?” Unlike the others, Luka had only a few minor injuries; a split lip from smacking her face in her hurry to get inside last night and sore muscles from twisting and turning so much.<br/><br/>Hers were nothing compared to others.<br/><br/>~*~*~*~*~<br/><br/>Oliver was looking around the room quietly as he debated on what to do. Everything had happened so fast last night. He had caught Ophelia as she fell from her broom. If he wouldn’t have been there she could have died last night, or at least she wouldn’t have come back without a few broken bones. He remembered George’s injury and how worried everyone was and still is. Oliver had been the one to help Luka with her split lip; give it to the girl to injure herself while so worried about everyone else.<br/><br/>Oliver had stayed part of the night looking over Lia, since Luka had been gone frequently.<br/><br/>Pulling on his shirt, the man went to check on George. It was no surprise that Luka was there, last night he thought that she was going to sleep beside George. “Hey…” he said, “How’s everything going?”<br/>It was a useless question but it had made the girl crack a small smile.<br/><br/>“Did you go to sleep?” He asked Luka, worried for the girl’s sanity. Oliver had been her shoulder to cry on for a few hours last night.<br/><br/>“As good as I could,” she lied. Oliver winced at her painfully obvious lie but he couldn’t blame her. He had worried last night as well.<br/><br/>“Have you seen Lia?” he asked.<br/><br/>“No. She was gone when I woke up but she’s probably with Charlie.” Luka said to him, “Thank you for saving her last night, Oliver.”<br/><br/>The man gave a small nod before leaving the two friends in peace as he went to find Charlie and Ophelia. He bumped into Ginny, who was on her way down the stairs and to the kitchen. “I’m sure they’re in the kitchen with my mum.” Ginny smiled before breaking from Oliver once their feet hit the first floor. She rushed to the small group that Harry, Ron and Hermione had made.<br/><br/>He finally found them after a short walk into the kitchen. “Mornin’ Mrs. Weasley.” He said with a polite smile, “How are you feeling Lia?” he asked the witch. Oliver’s eyes scanned over her for any signs of bleeding or whatnot. He was still very worried about her after all. Even after being told she was fine."

She wouldn't admit to it, but she had a rather sizable gash on her left side, where she had been hit. While she had some time to herself last night, she had asked Molly to help her heal it, and though it was adequately bandaged and not bleeding, it still burned. Charlie helped her though, putting an arm around her and when they got into the kitchen, he helped her sit down. However, not long after, Oliver came in and Lia gave a soft smile.<br/><br/>""I'm alright, thanks to you. Really though, thank you."" She said to him, trying to reassure him as she sipped at her cuppa. ""And for sitting in with me for a while, I knew Luka wouldn't be in there so long as George was hurt.""<br/><br/>Not long after, Fred came down, and he looked to his mother. ""Mum, George is up, and he has a bad headache."" He said, and Molly nodded, heading up with her son. Fred was worse for wear, apparently not sleeping at all the night before. It was painful to keep down, but Lia allowed her face to turn to an almost unreadable look. These were the people she was supposed to betray. To kill. To... she shook the thought from her mind, and she closed her eyes.<br/><br/>Charlie sat with Lia and gave her a look. ""You sure you are okay?"" He asked, giving her an almost knowing look.<br/><br/>""I'm sure Charlie. I may not be 100 percent, but I am okay. Promise."" She said, taking a sip of her tea before her eyes moved to look outside. She missed when things were different, before the war, before The Dark Lord came back, before she...<br/><br/>She really needed to quit thinking about that. She did, but with a target on her little sister's back, all she could do now was wait it out. But this was the first time in a long time that she had considered defecting, perhaps becoming an actual double spy unlike Snape. When Dumbledore had died, however, Lia had lost all hope in that plan. Not to mention her father was one of the few Death Eaters that never crossed You Know who.<br/><br/>""Earth to Lia."" Charlie said, and quickly she snapped from her thoughts, now realizing that her eyes were damp. She wiped the tears away and Charlie gave her a look.<br/><br/>""It's nothing. Just worried is all."" She quickly defended, and he gave a nod. Charlie then turned to Oliver.<br/><br/>""She is not moving well, from being sore, so if she needs help, please help her. I am going to check on George."" He said, and soon Lia and Oliver were left alone in the kitchen, and Lia slowly moved to stand.<br/><br/>""I'm going to sit outside, if you want to join me. It is a surprisingly calm morning."" She commented.<br/><br/>*~*~*~*<br/><br/>George felt someone sit beside him after what felt like an hour. His sense of time was definitely warped, he knew, but hearing Luka's voice filled him with a bit of warmth. Her question made him try to give a smile, but his face just wouldn't turn. ""My head hurts, and the bandages are weird, but Fred went to go get mum."" He didn't realize he was whispering.<br/><br/>He heard Oliver briefly before he closed his eyes, the pain lessening slightly when he did so. Not long after Fred's voice came. ""Are you sure you are okay to sit up?""<br/><br/>Molly spoke next, ""Thank you for sitting with him, Luka. Do you mind helping me with the bandages? Fred, go get the dittany and the bright green phial from the medicine box."" Molly said, and George felt the bandages become unraveled from his head. The pressure was leaving his head, but the pain still remained, even if a.little less intense. He let out a sigh.<br/><br/>""Can we leave the bandages off for a bit?"" He whispered again. Molly gave a soft smile, though the worry was plain in her face. She had a lot to do today, and she knew George wouldn't be helping much today if at all.<br/><br/>""Sure."" She said. ""And when breakfast is ready, I will bring you some.""<br/><br/>""Mum, I just have a headache, I can make it downstairs."" Hearing the worry in his family was breaking his heart, and soon Charlie and Fred returned.<br/><br/>""Charlie got the green phial."" Fred announced, and soon George could feel the dittany burning his ear and then the pain disappeared, and he was able to lift his head some more.<br/><br/>""Thank you."" He said, and his.mother kissed his forehead.<br/><br/>""Breakfast will be ready soon."" She told the small group before heading downstairs again, and George looked to Fred.<br/><br/>""Feel better?"" Fred asked, and George nodded.<br/><br/>""A bit."" He answered."

His legacy, however, lived on. The WDS (World Defense System) was greatly expanded and improved until it was capable of eliminating all Heartless activity on a single world. Over time, this system was spread to other worlds, and eventually Heartless became a thing of the past. It seemed the only place Heartless could now thrive was in the depths of space, in the areas outside of the opened Star Paths. Their increased presence in these locations caused them to develop strong concentration of dark energies, too dangerous to fly through, and so Gummi Ship travel became restricted to only following the paths that Sora had opened during his second journey. Like Sora, Riku also dedicated his life to the cause of light, and after Sora's death he founded a Brotherhood of Knights that would come to be known as the Judges. The Judges tasked themselves with maintaining the peace and eliminating any force that would threaten the return of the Heartless.<br/><br/>It's now been a thousand years since those times. Peace has reigned throughout that time, and most of the worlds are prospering. One of those worlds is Lunaris, a world named for it's intriguing resemblance to a moon. Lunaris is a thriving space port, finding itself in the center of a profitable trading route between various worlds. It's home to many merchants - some that travel, others that don't - and has become a popular place for would-be adventurers and explorers to get their start. One unlikely group of strangers, each in Lunaris for one reason or another, face an impending challenge... whether they know it or not. What had begun as a simple purpose for being in Lunaris will take a turn... for the worse.</i><hr/>Dawn came as the port was slowly brightened by the rising sun. With the expanse of the morning light, the port itself seemed to slowly come to life. Merchants emerged to open their shops, sailors emerged from their rooms at the inns and, as they did so, the sound of morning shanties could be heard about the port, the workers using the age-old songs to pass the time as they did their morning duties. Elsewhere, where the Gummi Ships made port, the sound of their engines could be heard humming to life as some departed, while others still arrived in their place. It was every bit a normal morning for this bustling port of a world. And a certain teenager named Jared was no exception.<br/><br/>The only thing setting the young man apart from the rest of his home world was that he began his morning routine an hour before the sun had risen. He did so because there was particular spot he enjoyed visiting on a daily basis. It wasn't glamorous by any means, as the spot consisted of a half-sunken sailing ship with the nose of her bow pointed at a near vertical angle. It was here that Jared visited every morning, using his vocational skills to climb aboard and scale the point to a spot near the very top. He also made a point to reach this spot at exactly sunrise. For the tip of this once grand vessel pointed directly to the east, where the sun rose every morning. And every morning Jared loved to watch the sunlight creep across the port, bringing the place to life for it's daily routines. Plus the view gave him just enough vantage to watch a few of the Gummi Ships in the distant space port district, where he was rarely - if ever - allowed to roam. And every morning he would spot a Gummi Ship rocketing toward the sky or another coming in for a landing, and he would point to it, as he did so even now, and promise himself that that ship would one day be his. This morning ritual ended when the sun was fully in the sky, and Jared would have to venture off for his daily prospecting. Of course, he got down from this high point in the only sensible way, by leaping as far as his legs would push him and diving into the seawater below, where Dion's boat awaited him, with his rusty old harpoon resting in it as well.<br/><br/>When he came up, Jared glimpsed what he thought was a vague figure in the spot he had dived from, but it was gone after he rubbed the water from his eyes. A figment of his imagination, surely, and he went about his daily work as usual. Unknown to him though, was that others would ""imagine"" a similar figure at about the same time.<hr/>In the ports, where new arrivals always traversed when entering Lunaris, there were many merchants attempting to sell their wares to any passerby who might be interested. But elsewhere in the ports, one of the docking bays was closed off, reserved for an important ship, no doubt. And important it was, for just a week ago, the port had received notice that a few of the well-known Judges would be visiting for an inspection, a standard procedure on all the worlds with Gummi Ship access. It certainly made the workers and natives of Lunaris nervous, as the Judges themselves were very mysterious figures, always clad in white robes and intimidating in their strict, no-nonsense ways. But this was just another day, like any other.<br/><br/>...Or so it seemed, anyway."

Either way it wouldn't matter to Promise, he had worked in cold before and wasn't going to miss day at work or depend on the sun waking him up or give him heat. He turned around to face a finished boiled kettle, the steam spouting from it ferociously, the young boy would dunk a teabag into his cup and pour the hot water from the kettle into it, the tea spoon already in it for mixing and pounding the bag. He set it down on the table next to his honeyed toast.<br/><br/>Slowly the boy took a bite out of his toast, the sweetness making a slight curve to his mouth, then sipping his cup of tea so quiet it was unheard. Some people his age wouldn't be up as early as he would, but Promise was the sort of person to be grateful for what he gets, and put one hundred and fifty percent into paying the luck off he received. Deep down he was nervous, he had not been working long, the thoughts of future also gave him fright as he thought about working on a Gumi ship alone, without anyone to help him. He would shut his eyes and sigh, as he embraced what he thought was his destiny, to be a mechanic, to work on to improve and repair Gumi ships as it was profitable trade, however a challenging one. However slight doubt sloshed in stomach... <i>""Does it really have to be like this?""</i> He thought, while gazing into the tea. <br/><br/>Finishing his breakfast, and getting on the rest of his attire, he made checks. His bag was zipped and had everything he required, his goggles were on his forehead as usual, and his woolly hat was worn to cover his head, his curled red hair sticking out from the back and sides. He took one look in the mirror. <b>""I am sharp and I am ready,""</b> he told himself. A few more minutes telling himself the same thing, another reflection would be standing behind him from a distance. Promise caught onto it, but it vanished leaving nothing behind. He would ignore his own question in his head, maybe he had not enough sleep, maybe he was still daydreaming, who knew? As he set out in the darkness, the sun would come out from hiding and begin to glow over Lunaris..</center>"

While Heartless didn't plague this distant world there were many more monsters in the universe than just the Heartless, humans being capable of being the greatest monsters of them all. Elim found this out the hard way and was on a mission. She had managed to have been lucky when a man researching the more distant worlds happened to come to Ithelia. Some of the people of that world knew of other worlds while others thought it was a myth. Well Elim knew it wasn't as those she was after escaped to one of those different worlds. <br/><br/>""Thank you so much sir"". A boy, or at least that's how most would perceive her from her appearance, stepped off the Gummi Ship. Never in her life she had seen anything like it, so it was quite awe inspiring to think such incredible magic existed. The place she landed in seemed strange. No city made of metal and wood like this existed in Ithelia. They were all either constructed from just wood, stone, or a combination of both. This definitely made her feel out of place, especially with how many other Gummi Ships were arriving into port and leaving. There was more than one of those things? Incredible. <br/><br/>Elim wasn't hear to sight see though. Revenge. That was what she was here for. Once she had it she would return to her world. She had no desire to be here in this strange, foreign place for much longer. So with that she set out from the port after getting a few directions from the man who brought her here about where various things were. The market seemed like a good place to start searching for information on the Crimson Skull Bandits. After all, what better place to search for them then where money and goods were gathered. <br/><br/>As the young boy made her way to the market though something in a back alleyway caught her eye. Perhaps it was just the light of the sunrise hitting her eye at the right moment and making her see things, or it could have been a member of the group she was looking for. In an instant she had drew her sword and charged right into that small back alleyway that was cluttered with garbage, slashing at something. Her blade did indeed get something, just a bag of garbage someone thoughtlessly threw away into this alleyway that missed the trash can it was meant for. Cans made out of metal and trash kept in sacks made of strange fabric? This world really was strange indeed. Perhaps instead of just heading back to Ithelia after she killed those bandits she would first bring back some of the wonders she saw here with her. Who knows what other interesting things she would find here. <br/><br/>With a sigh escaping from his lips though after what he thought was a foe was vanquished Elim sheathed her sword and continued walking towards the market, hoping that her information gathering would go better than that ""fight"" did. </center>"

Here was an entirely new world (to him) to explore. Simo wasn't used to being surrounded by so many people, however if there was one thing he learned while growing up in a jungle, it was how to adapt...and hunt...and how to use a sniper rifle...and-Okay! So he learned a lot of things in the jungle, that's not the point. What is the point is that he didn't let his new surroundings get to him. 'It's a whole new world' he told himself. That was enough to calm him down.<br/><br/>Simo found it odd that so many people seemed to fear the unknown. Why would they? Not knowing what something is makes it interesting, and finding out what it is is fun. He had left home because he had explored the forest he grew up in so many times, that there weren't any unknowns left. He had a perfect mental map of the place...and he found that boring. So, when his dad left, the only thing for him to do was do the same thing; to get out there and explore worlds he currently can't even fathom. It sounded like a great time<br/><br/>So Simo was naturally in awe of the station. The one where he entered the ship was kind of rundown, but this one was real nice. Hell, it almost sparkled in some places, that was pretty awesome. And the people. There were just so many of them. Hell, a good chunk of them weren't even human. That was a real surprise. Oh well, just something to explore at a later date. Right now, he had a new world to wander around aimlessly in until something happened. His dad always said that's the best way to start an adventure in a new place if you don't already have any plans. So he set off...to wander around aimlessly"

She was anxious to go into town to start to piece back her memory. Moon In-Sun had become her home. He was the only memories she had and she loved him. But she needed more she need to to know what had happened to her memory. Moon In-Sun tried his best to be happy for her but she knew he was still trying everything to keep her there. She tossed and tried to shut her eyes. All she could see was him. A tear rolled down her eye. She wiped it away with the back of her hand. Serene could hear him mixing potions in the room next to hers. A breeze swept throughout the room it brought comfort to this unsure moment. The next moment she heard footsteps and felt him wrap his arms around her. Another breeze came through the room and he held tighter to her. She closed her eyes and feel asleep in his arms.<br/><br/>The light shone into the little home. She smiled he was awake holding her hand. They looked into each others eyes. ""I could not wait for you to wake."" ""Follow me!"" We went to the next room. He lifted up a round potion bottle that look like it had the ocean in it. ""This will help to bring back your memory."" ""You won't have to leave."" She smiled with a heavy heart, wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head into his chest. ""I want to, I want to with all my being but there is something in me that needs to go."" She looked up into his eyes silent tears running down her face. He put his hand to her check and wiped away the tears. ""I understand, I love you!"" ""I don't want to let you go but, if that is what you want I will."" More tears ran down her face. He wiped each one that rolled down her check away. ""It's okay I will always be here when ever your ready."" ""Wait! Your not going to come with me?"" She knew he wasn't but she need to hear it to make it a reality. ""No, my place is here people need me."" I wrapped my arms tighter around his waist. ""It will be alright I will always be here."" ""Waiting for you."" He gently set his head a top mine. Tears still falling. ""We will leave at noon."" Saying but not moving.<br/><br/>Serene had pack everything on the relic motor bikes. Stepping back and looking at the memories that she had here. Moon In-Sun was inside grabbing the last few things. As she jumped on the starting the engine as it roared with a monstrous sound. She took in her last deep breath of this place. Moon In-Sun came out with his hands full. ""You will need these!"" He pack everything in the bags he had prepared for her. ""Even though you are leaving me you should still take this I believe it will help."" He handed her the blue liquid. Without hesitation She swallowed it in one gulp. ""How do you feel?"" Moon In-Sun asked. Serene thought for a moment. ""The same."" Moon In-Sun sighed a little. Serene smiled. ""Where you hoping that my memory would come back?"" Moon In-Sun smirked and moved in closer to her face. He lingered by her lips. ""Yes!"" She smiled and kissed him.<br/><br/>Serene and Moon In-Sun where in town. They got there quicker than they both had hoped. Both of there hearts where heavy. They did not look at each other just at the splendor of this grand city. Moon In-Sun spoke. I found you over there. He pointed to an alleyway. Moon In-Sun drove closer to that vicinity and stopped at a motor park. As Moon In-Sun swiped his card the motor park opened and they parked the motorbikes inside. As they both walked out Serene grabbed Moon In-Sun's hand and the motor park rotated behind them as they headed to the alleyway. As they approached the alleyway there was a young boy who had just attacked a garbage bag. Moon In-Sun pulled Serene back to the wall as the boy walked by."

Still any possible embarrassment that Elim may have had was immediately outweighed and replaced by the possibility of these two people having seen those she was looking for. He pulled out a scroll from his pocket, turning back and walking back towards him, holding out the open scroll towards them. ""Have you seen this man? Or perhaps any member of a group known as the Crimson Skull Bandits?""<br/><br/>The scroll had a drawing of what appeared to be a man in his early thirties. The man drawn on the scroll was scruffy with an unevenly shaved beard, an eye patch over his left eye that had a skull on it, and just the general look of an evil person in the drawing. ""Back in my world I heard that this group fled to this strange place and so I have come here to find them..."" He was clutching the scroll a little tightly while he spoke and held it out, clutching it with a slightly angry look in his eyes that was directed at the scroll, the look being as if he really hated the person in the scroll. It was a shame to, to see hatred in the eyes of the young and hear it in their voice, as the boy didn't appear more than fifteen years of age."

He had to jog to work in his heavy steel toecap boots and carrying his two heavy bags made it more difficult for him to pick up speed and even last. He thought less people would roam the streets, unfortunately for him he was wrong, he had to walk through a heard of people who pushed and shoved their ways through, some with pure ignorance and force, others trying to get out of trouble and persistent to get to where they want to go. Promise would turn the doorknob and enter the garage, in a few hours he would see the lightened sky and would have to wait a couple more hours for the dark.<b>""Morning""</b>, he said quietly. The grown men working on the Gumi ships replied with rough voices, spanners and wrenches squeaked and scampered.<br/><br/>The machines were that painted the blocks were usually off in the morning but for some unknown reason they were on. The plain, dull blocks being painted red,yellow, even orange for the standard model. Promises carefully put his belongings in the locker and took time locking it in a lockup. His tool kit slung over his shoulder as he watched awaited his orders from his mentor.<b> ""Alright, Enrique I want you to take these blocks and put them in painter, they need to be coloured"".</b>Promise nodded, quickly he bent and picked up the basket of blocks, he would place them on the machine carefully, finishing quickly he would await his next task.<b>""Guess what we got today Redhead, there's a couple of guys here wanting their ship sorted.""</b>The muscular man leaned closer to Promise and lowered his voice.<b>""These cukes seem dodgey, mysterious men and all, wearing red and all and dress funny...But the money is good so don't mess up mate, you will be accompanied by Francis.""</b>His tone was below the commoner, however it carried the authority of king to Enrique's ears.<br/>Promise would nod and get ready.<b>""Alright I will find Francis straight away, hopefully we can get this ship up and running like a true beaut.""</b>He was trying to blend in with by using the grammar, he scanned the man's face and a little smile would appear as he began to accept the moulding. Promise would begin his powerwalk to Francis in the 6th bay."

Moon In-Sun watched her as she studied the scroll. Serene's head was swimming in memories or maybe they where just thoughts. She did not know. As she closed her eyes slivers of memory came back to her. But all she could see where blurs of black in red in what seemed to be almost fighting motions but nothing clear. The more she tried to think about it the more her head became heavy and she leaned against the wall. Moon In-Sun held on to her and explained to the young boy. "" Sir, I am sorry but she has lost her memory. We have come her to find something to jogg it back. She was in a fight down this alley way and we where hope to find something to help her remember."" Serene opened her eyes as he spoke and there staring at her was a dark figure. She felt cold and quickly closed her eyes and held tighter on to Moon In-Sun. As she opened them again the fiuagr was gone."

Well while Elim was heavily disappointed she was not surprised as he quickly rolled the scroll back up and put it back in his pocket. Apparently the girl among the pair had lost her memory, Elim looking at her for a moment. ""Your lucky. Sometimes its better to live and not know the truth. This way you can begin to create new memories and start a new life."" With that last remark the boy gave a polite bow of thanks, as was custom in his own world, before straightening back up and without much further remark bade them farewell with a small wave before walking off. After all, Elim didn't have much time to waste with small conversation. He had people to kill after all and in order to kill those people she had to find them first, which Elim did not want to waste time on as the more time she wasted the higher the chance that her prey could have already gone out of the reach of her blade.<br/><br/>He figured instead of the market though a port would be more ideal. Ships in and out, either those strange flying ships or regular ones that sailed on the water, had to be a more ideal location to gather information. After all the people Elim was after had come here in one of those flying ships. So without much further ado the young swordsman quickly began to run towards where he remembered the port being from when he entered this world in one of those flying ships. They had to be here. He wouldn't stop looking until his blade found their black hearts, his hand tightly clutching the hilt of his sword as he ran as his eyes always made sure to scan her surroundings in case they were somewhere hidden in the crowd."

There he saw Francis, a young man in his early 30's with slick back brown hair and neat stubble. He wore the older uniform different to promises and his also had the old company logo on it, the big massive red letter G on the right side of his chest, Promise read it mentally.<i>""G block"".</i>He approached Francis with his hands in his pocket, a slightly serious look made its way to his face as he watched the man lift the basket full of minimized meteor to the cutter.<b>""Francis, do you know the job we have to do?""</b>He asked, leaning against the wall in a casual fashion.<br/><br/>He dropped the meteors onto the roller of the cutters and turned on the machine.<b>""You mean that new one right? I only now a little about it... These so called ""Dodgy blokes"" the boss calls em need a there shield armour repairing on the ship. G block usually tries to stay away from that type of work, fixing shields and what not because you can get mixed up in stuff, plus you know how much it is for a good shied block? Its a bloody fortune, so we tend to use a little under standard.""</b>Francis picked up another basket of the same rocks and would lay them on the roller before continuing.<b>""I don't know what made the boss do the job, must of been some good money, so try not to mess up I'm actually going to let you do this one.""</b><br/><br/>Promise frowned and his eyes lowered as he heard he was doing a job on his own, the boy still lacked confidence to work on his own, luckily Francis would be attending the job with him so it wasn't all bad. He put his goggles on his eyes, the tinted glass not fading his vision one bit.<b>""I will try to get this job done and rolled out the way as quick as possible.""</b>, the young lad showed determination regardless of his nerves, but would he be able to do it? Who knows he may could or may not succeed.<br/><br/>Francis admired his determination, his mouth rounded into a smile that only last a few seconds, he wasn't the smiling sort.<b>"" Enrique remember what I told you? Quickness may help but if not done accurate and properly its nothing, remember that you are still an apprentice and you have much time to get a grasp of things, do not rush your learning or try to fit in with other workers so quick... It will come naturally kid, now come we got to go to this call out.</b>He would take Promise to the garage to where the transportation were held.<br/><br/>Both of them hopped onto the bike, as it would the start the bits of black would fly everywhere.<b>""Alright, we got to go to Bellows Keep storage, hopefully we got some spare parts in back so no need to stop at the Gummi Pk (Gummi Part Kollector).</b>Francis watched as the boy nodded.<b>""Repeat after me. I'm very sorry that I have come in collision with this law, you see officer we had to get to this job quickly it was an urgent one, it will not happen again.""</b>Before he gave time for Promise to say those exact words, the bike would be off heading towards Bellow Keep, Promise had crossed the place a few times, it was just a warehouse that use to belong to a company who produced Bellows, nothing special, not even complicated to get to."

He had to cut the prospecting short after only 15 minutes, having realized that he'd forgotten to check in with the old man. Dion wasn't extremely strict about rules, but he did at least make a point of wishing to be informed of where Jared planned to go and how long he would take. And so, with naught but the rusty harpoon in his hand, Jared walked back toward home, dreading the lecture he was sure to get for forgetting to check in.<br/><br/>Elsewhere in the city, two of the famed Judges exited the gummi ship they had arrived in. Their ships were distinct in that they were mostly a silvery white color, and each one bore a large key-shaped insignia branding it as one of theirs. The Judges themselves, dressed in their usual white robes, were unable to be specifically identified as they were currently wearing their hoods up. However, one of them was clearly a masculine figure while the other was more frail and feminine. The other thing setting the Judges apart from most groups was their insistence on working in pairs. The primary failure of groups like Organization XIII, they believed, was that each member always seemed to work alone, with no one providing support or backup of any kind, and so the Judges implemented their partner system to ensure that such a mistake was never made. The two were heading toward the computer station that housed WDS of Lunaris, as that was where they would begin their inspection. This station was in a guard tower that of course was restricted to all but those who were authorized. As the robed figures walked, the male figure spoke in a low voice, ""I still say this kind of work can be just as easily done by a crew, our brethren need not be involved."" he said in a somewhat irritable tone. The woman with him shook her head.<br/><br/>""We've been over this, Raiden. It's better to do the work yourself and ensure quality, otherwise we run the risk of overlooking something which, in turn, will lead to disaster."" she said her response in an exasperated tone, clearly they'd had this conversation before, probably many times.<br/><br/>""I'm just saying we could get more things done, and besides, nothing ever happens anyway- What the?!"" he was cut off by the unmistakable sound of an explosion, both Judges looked at each other and, in unison, instantly realized that it came from the WDS control center and both rushed toward it, now brandishing weapons. The man, Raiden, sported a long-bladed glaive and the woman appeared to wield an angelic staff.<br/><br/>Even the Judges couldn't be fast enough to fix the system before it could damage the world, however, as the dreaded yellow-eyed Heartless known as Shadows began to emerge thanks to defense system no longer locking them out, and of course they attacked without much discretion. This included Thatch, who was half-way up the beach when he heard the explosion in the distance and suddenly found himself swinging his harpoon around, desperately keeping the Heartless from swarming him as he tried to run back into town."

If they weren't then Elim would search somewhere else. She wasn't going to give up until she found those people that killed her family, that had taken her life from her. While she liked the years she spent with her teacher she wanted to be with her family. She missed them every day and knew that the only way for them to be at peace was for her to kill the people that killed them so that they could never kill anyone ever again. So that they could never destroy families or livelihoods ever again as she was going to make them pay for their crimes, make them pay the ground with their blood.<br/><br/>Before she could get too far away from the couple, as that was what Elim assumed they were anyway from how closely they stuck to one another, she heard something. Something strange. Quickly unsheathing his blade, the young 'boy' noticed strange creatures seeming to pull themselves out from the very shadows themselves. Strange creatures with bright yellow eyes and even a couple that had bits and pieces of armor on their bodies that actually waked like humans. ""What are these monstrosities?"" Elim had never heard of, or seen, any Heartless before. Sure she had seen lots of other monsters like minotaurs, chimeras, slimes, and other such creatures (well maybe not seen, but read about anyway), but never had she heard of creatures like these before. Monsters native to this world?<br/><br/>Regardless of what they were they were in her way. Perhaps they were summoned by the Crimson Skull Bandits to stop her, as maybe they knew she was here, or maybe they were summoned by them to plague people. That thought caused her grip on her blade to tighten. ""All the more reason to slaughter them and move on"". He muttered this angrily before charging at one of the Shadows, slashing at the beast with her blade before thrusting her palm at it and letting loose a small burst of flame at the beast, hoping that this would take care of it.<br/><br/>Somehow it did though, meaning that these creatures weren't invincible. That was good, as a smirk appeared on her face as she carged towards another one, prepared to take out as many of these monsters as she could if it meant getting to her targets more quickly."

Serene was now more alert and lead the way down the alleyway where Moon In-Sun had found her. She only had one focus at that moment and that was to find out what had happened here. She scanned the walls with her memory. Blank, absolutely nothing came to her mind. She bent down to the ground and touched the cold rock cement. Moon In-Sun spoke. That is the spot I found you. You where barely conscious. She looked more careful at the stone beneath her fingers. There was blood. A flash and the memory came she was yelling at a man as more of them appeared. They where not friendly faces. She lifted from her hands two bamboo nunchucks. They all laughed at her and she smirked. Then the memory fade out. She looked at Moon In-Sun and smiled at him ""I remembered something!"" She said excitedly and leaped into his arms holding him tightly. She felt him tense up and took a step back to look at his face it was sad. She said ""I will never forget you but, I don't think that you will like the person I really am."" He spoke very strongly. ""Never say that!"" ""I know who you are now and it dose not matter what you did but, what your try to become."" He embraced her in a hug and as he did the man that that young boy had shown them related to the memory she had recalled. She pulled back and Moon In-Sun looked at her. ""I know that man that was on the scroll."" Before Moon In-Sun could reacted she was running in the direction the boy had headed.<br/><br/>Before she realized it she was surrounded by black creatures with yellow eyes and no sight of Moon In-Sun. Instinctively she grabbed the nunchucks hanging from her bag ready to defend herself. One charged at her and with a whip of one of her hands the creature dissolved. It felt more elegant than she had anticipated. More came at her and with each swing of her hand they started to vanish. This was easier than she expected and her mind was surprisingly at ease as she fought."

It's a sight he's gotten used to over the years, but the gummi ships weren't exactly what caught his curiosity each time. It was where they were going, what they were carrying, who was going to buy them, why they needed them. Everyday these ships came and everyday they left, carrying all sorts of items from other worlds. It angered him in a way. These lifeless items got the opportunity to see other worlds and the mysteries they contain, but he was stuck here, working everyday as a boring trader. It was a weird feeling to envy objects but a feeling Kasus couldn't deny nonetheless. ""One day,"" he said, a blank look on his face but adventure in his heart. ""One day...""<br/><br/>He jumped up, sliding down the roof and climbing into the window of his room. ""Kasus!"" Fargo called. Fargo is Kasus's foster parent, and proud owner of Lunar Goods, his shop, that is doing considerably well for itself. ""Come down here Kasus!"" Kasus sighed, hesitantly walking out of his room and down stairs to the shop. Lunar Goods is a 2 story building, the first floor was the shop, strictly business, and the top floor is where Kasus and Fargo live.<br/><br/>Kasus poked his head into the shop ""Kasus!"" Fargo exclaimed, ""There you are! I need you to deliver this box of starfruit to the port, asap!"" Kasus reluctantly took the box and began to walk to the door, but quickly stopped, ""Oh!"" he said ""Hold on!"" he then ran up stairs holding the box of starfruit, barging into his room and looking around frantically, until he found his Blade of Valor, sitting on his dresser. He smiled, and walked, picking it up and clipping it to his belt. When he looked up he noticed a black like figure in an alleyway, outside of his window. Curious, he walked over to the window and opened it, but it had disappeared, or maybe was never there to begin with. He thought nothing of it. As he walked back downstairs Fargo gave him a look, ""Do you really have to take that thing everywhere? You be careful, if anyone gets hurt-"" Kasus interrupted ""Yeah, yeah, you'll sell it cheap."" he said, walking towards the door. ""Don't lollygag!"" Fargo shouted as Kasus ran out the front door and into the world of Lunaris.<br/><br/>The city was always booming in this district, the buildings and shops were practically squeezed next to each other, each a different shop, each attracting different customers. Kasus awoke everyday to this business, and grew tired of always maneuvering amongst the crowd, and found it easier to walk on the roofs of all the shops, which wasn't difficult since they were all conjoined. He ran forward, launching himself off of a dumpster, and began running atop the shops towards the port.<br/><br/>Kasus gracefully made his way through the rooftops, and immediately lost balance as an explosion rumbled the immediate area. He got up, observing the area around him, searching for the source of the explosion, and saw the WDS control center ablaze. Down below near the shops, people began to scream as small, black creatures with glowing eyes rose from the shadows. He jumped off the roof, landing on his feet, dropping the box of starfruit and grabbing his Blade of Valor. He had never seen anything like these creatures before, but as he saw them tormenting the people of Lunaris, he knew they had to be stopped. A group of 5 emerged, surrounding him. Kasus dashed towards one, slicing it in half causing it to vanish. The rest sprinted towards him, one by one Kasus sliced and kicked, and one by one they vanished, only to be replaced by more. The district was small, surrounded by buildings, if enough of these things appeared they could overwhelm him, he was doomed here. Kasus grabbed the box of starfruit and began running through the district, slaying any of the creatures that attacked or came within range."

He had heard how radically different some worlds could be, but seeing it first hand is another thing altogether. There were just so many people, some not even human. One strange race he noticed were tiny little furry things that had strange antenna with a ball on the end of it. So bizarre...yet awesome. While he truly loved his old home (those woods would always have a special place in his heart) he had grown far too complacent there. This on the other hand was...was...he didn't even know what to say. ""Normaly this would be the part where I say that it feels like I've stepped into another world...but that's exactly what I did.""

Simo wasn't sure what they were, however, when one of them jumped a man, that told him all he needed to know ""oh boy! Things to shoot!"" pulling out his trusty rifle, he took aim at the creature attacking the man and shot it off. With the black things still occupied, he was able to pick off the remaining few of them left. That done, he started running to the source of the explosion ""this is just too awesome!!!"" He squealed in delight ""only a few minutes here and I'm already in an epic fight"""

Just a bit further and he would have made it to the space ports, where the WDS control center was located. When he got there, he looked around frantically, seeing some people trying to fight and others who were barricading themselves indoors. He swung his harpoon wildly, trying desperately to keep the critters at bay, lest he be added to the list of victims. When one of them managed to lung at him, he flinched defensively, only for the Shadow to be impaled by a spear that wasn't his own. He opened his eyes and, with a relief, gazed in amazement at the old man who had rescued him, ""Dion!"" cried Thatch, recognizing the man as his adopted guardian, ""How is this happening?""<br/><br/>""The WDS..."" grunted Dion in a gruff voice as he knocked away Heartless after Heartless with his weapon. Obviously, he was a stronger fighter than Jared, ""...the explosion knocked out the system."" When there were finally no more Heartless attacking them at the moment, both stopped to finish the brief conversation, ""I'm going to the control center to help them get it back up. I need you to stay in the districts and help get people to safety.""<br/><br/>""But-"" Jared started to protest, but the older man had already run off to where the WDS was located. And it was pretty bad timing too, as a larger pool of Darkness started festering at Jared's feet. He jumped back, watching in terror as several giant pieces of armor floated up from the Darkness and then came together to form a<a href=""http://www.khwiki.net/images/thumb/e/e4/Guard_Armor_KH.png/312px-Guard_Armor_KH.png"">large, armored Heartless</a>. The creatures body was made of six individual pieces that seemed capable of moving independently: a head, torso, arms, and feet. The Heartless spun it's sharp-fingered arms as it prepared to strike. A Heartless of this size was impossible to miss, as anyone within the district and neighboring district would no-doubt either see it or hear it stomping about.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kOk9qQuzEs"">Cue Boss Music</a>"

He swung his blade wildly at any that got in his way, but the ones he dodged eventually began to increase in number, and a crowd began to form behind him. If he were to stop, or trip, they would surely overwhelm him within seconds. Kasus refused to stop running, his energy coming from the fear of these monsters catching him. One by one they spawned from the shadows and one by one he sliced them into nothing. Eventually the center of the merchant district was in sight, as Kasus came close the row of shops had run out, he had nowhere to run. Turning around his eyes widened with terror as he saw the crowd of creatures make their way towards him.<br/><br/>With no options Kasus launched himself off the roof and rolled forward as he landed. He looked up to see the crowd of monsters leap off of the building as well, as they fell towards him Kasus managed to slice them whilst in the air, but a majority of the crowd had survived the fall and now surrounded him. He gripped his blade, looking left and right, realizing he was doomed. He ducked as the crowd sprinted towards him in unison only to be pushed out of the crowd by an old man wielding a spear. In seconds the crowd of monsters redirected themselves at the pair, who fought them off one after the other until none remained. After Kasus was safe the old man immediately sprinted in the direction of the WDS building, sparing no words as he seemed to be in quite the hurry.<br/><br/>Kasus looked around, spotting a young man, who appeared to be wielding a harpoon. He made his way towards him, but before words could be exchanged a pool of darkness spawned at the young man's feet, much bigger than the ones he had seen from before. Kasus backed away cautiously as the young man jumped back. Several giant pieces of armor rose from beneath the pool of darkness, coming together to form a monster much larger than any other Kasus had seen today. It's arms began to spin, he prepared himself for what was next."

The Shadows were pretty easy, the soldiers being a little harder, but she wasn't going to give up here. It had to be the Crimson Skull Bandits responsible for this, or at least involved in some way. If they weren't involved well... that didn't matter. In the end these beasts were an obstacle for Elim to get to his goal, finding those bastards and making their heads roll. This would just be good practice for when she did so. Luckily her sword wasn't the only thing helping her fight. She had magic too, using Aero to form a shield of wind around herself to provide a very small defense boost while using fire for attacking the creatures.<br/><br/>That was when suddenly she quickly turned, noticing a large, armored creature appearing. That had to be the source of these little monsters and she would make sure to take it out so that she could achieve her goals. With another few mighty slashes at the creatures before her the young swordsman quickly did an about face towards the Armor and ran in that direction, dodging, jumping over, and slashing any Shadows or Soldiers in his way, the boy's eyes narrowing as he did so. This thing was an obstacle and he wasn't going to just go over or around it. He was going to crush it.<br/><br/>Upon arriving at the creature's location Elim wasted no time charging towards it, beginning to slash his blade as much as he could at the creature's feet, hoping that this could help take the beast down since Elim had never fought a monster made out of metal before."

She was getting tired but had to tell that young boy something. As she had got the last one she collapsed to the floor. She had never been so tired in her life. At lest not to what she could remember. As she took a deep breath a loud clattering noise came a crossed the city's do the ground trembled underneath her feet. People where running away from the sound but instinctively she ran towards it. There in the misted of everything was a giant creature it had an emblem on the center of its chest and it limbs floated in the air. She awed at its splendor and as she observed she noticed others fighting the creature and she joined in the effort.<br/><br/>As she attacked the lower half each clang of her nunchuck seemed every in effective and then she felt a pang in her head she tried to push back the memory but this was not an old memory it was a current one it was of Moon In-Sun. She quickly panicked as she though. Where is Moon In-Sun? As she continued to hit the creature she served the area. There he was sanding in one of the alleyways helping someone that was hurt. The second Serene took her attention of the creature it came a crossed her with its arm and threw her at the wall. Kicking the breath out of her and making her go limb.

Before he reached it though, he saw something far more interesting; the giant armored monster ""amazing...I<i>have</i>to kill it!"" And like that, Simo switched to battle mode. Climbing up to the roof of a nearby building, he observed his pray through the scope of his rifle 'it's limbs don't seem to be physically connected to it's torso, and based on how easily to can swing it's arms around it's body like a buzz saw, I doubt there's some kind of super thin string linking it's pieces together. That begs the question; how far away can it's arms and feet be from the main body? Also, is attacking the feet even worth it? It looks like it should be able to just float without them. Such a strange creature. Despite it's long range of motion, it's movement's seem rather clunky, kind of like a puppet. I wonder..."" Simo quickly checked above the metal monster, but found nothing ""yeah, I should have guessed it wouldn't be that easy. What I wonder now, is if attacking the head is the place to go...or should I aim for that heart shaped mark on it? Normally a head shot will kill just about anything, but I'm not sure about this thing. Is it's mind even in it's head? I should wait a little while, see if I can find out anything else before taking my shot"""

They were strong hearts indeed, stronger than most others. This would be a ""meal"" to remember. The dark pool that had produced the Guard Armor didn't disappear, rather it lingered and started producing several Shadows alongside their armored commander. The Armor's torso hung in midair, swaying in a motion reminiscent of a ringing bell. It's clawed hands each flipped over once, returning to their original positions like a warrior brandishing his blade.<br/><br/>It observed as three of its prey attacked all at once: two boys and a girl. The first boy's blade nicked at the Armor's feet, damaging them but only slightly. The girl and her nunchaku attacked with speed and ferocity, but the bamboo of the weapon seemed only to bounce harmlessly off the Heartless' iron body. Finally there was the other boy, brandishing some kind of spear as he thrust it into the Guard Armor's other foot twice before adding a third slash with added momentum thanks to a quick rotation of his body. Like the other weapons, the spear clanged against the Heartless but didn't seem to have any effect. To add insult to injury, the spear actually broke into pieces upon the impact of the third blow, now leaving the boy helpless to the Armor's counter strike. Its hands lashed out, seeming to fly around its body in a circular, sweeping motion. The sweeping blow came at an angle that targeted the now unarmed boy first, and he could not react before the Armor's iron hand knocked him a good few feet away, his limp form crashing into a barrel, breaking it open and spilling it's contents, freshly caught fish, all over him.<br/><br/>All at once Jared seemed to feel his hope come crashing down upon him. It was bad enough that his spear seemed to have no effect on the big Heartless, but to make matters worse the thing broke on its body? Then of course came the counterattack, targeting him first because he was no doubt the easiest target thanks to his new-found lack of a weapon. He didn't get a chance to see how any of the others fared, as soon as his body crashed into a wooden barrel, he felt himself slip in and out of unconsciousness, laying there dazed in a pile of smelly fish."

It was literally like a floating suit of armor and his blade seemed to harmlessly bounce off of its steel skin. No, this beast seemed to be stronger than steel as even a well placed sword slash could still put a dent into steel armor. Elim had done it before during her year of wandering Ithelia while searching for the group that killed her family. Not sure of how to take down a beast with his blade Elim tried a different maneuver. Instead of just slashing at the feet Elim leaped backwards and aimed his palm at the large, armor like monster.<i>""Fire!""</i><br/><br/>With that one shout a burst of flame shot out at the beast from Elim's palm, aiming at the creature's torso, mainly the symbol on its chest. Elim was not done there though as he jumped up onto one of the feet and then did a leap towards the torso of the armor from the foot, stabbing his blade right towards that same symbol as he hoped that this would take the monster down, Elim unsure of how the her enemies could get their hands on such strange beasts, but regardless of this creature's origins it was in his way and thus Elim was going to kill it."

His confidence dwindled as one of the boys was knocked away by the monster's arm and into a barrel. Immediately after this counterattack the monster spun its torso and arms 180 degrees, and it was much too late when Kasus realized the arm used to knock away the other boy was now aiming straight for him.<br/><br/>As he prepared for impact, the monster was suddenly taken aback as fire burst into it's torso whilst a small blue haired boy, (or girl) plunged his (or her) sword into a crest in the middle of the monsters chest. This attack appeared to have done some actual damage.<i>""The body!""</i>Kasus exclaimed in his head, and immediately dashed towards the monster, jumping across it's back and slashing it's torso from behind."

As She came to Serene scanned the area looking for Moon In-Sun but could not find him. She got up slowly feeling her lungs up with air in a deep breath preparing her self to battle.

It seemed to be a creature of pure instinct, fighting without much capability for strategy, which was just fine for Simo. Quickly taking aim, Simo fired a shot in the center of the strange mark on it's chest, which judging by how it recoiled after getting hit seemed to hurt it.

And when that spell was swiftly followed by one of the girls delivering a jumping blow to its chest, it reared back a bit, and right into the slashing of another's blade. This time it did seem to take actual damage, indicating that its torso was where it was most vulnerable. It swung its arms about, flailing them wildly in an attempt to keep the attackers at bay. About that time, it felt the sting of another direct attack, this one from a bullet coming from someone's rifle a distance away. The group was indeed damaging the creature now, but made a potentially fatal mistake. In their decision to focus solely on the Guard Armor, they ignored the Shadows pouring up from the puddle of Darkness where the creature stood. Now that they were being commanded by something, the Shadows moved in a strategic manner.<br/><br/>They spotted the lone shooter on the nearby roof and were practically stampeding in the direction of his sniper perch. Along the way a small girl made a break from an alleyway into a nearby shop door. Most of the shadows ignored her, choosing instead to continue after what they perceived to be the larger threat, and the stronger heart. But one chose instead to designate the child as its prey, making a pounce toward her now scared stiff form.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Thatch sat in his spot in a daze. When he started hearing whispers in his ears, he thought he was losing his mind at first.<i>""Don't be afraid.""</i>Afraid? Afraid of what? The Heartless? That seemed a hard thing to accomplish when he knew he was now completely unarmed.<i>""Don't forget.""</i>The whisperer followed up with. Forget? Was there something he was meant to remember? If so, he never knew about it. It was the gunshot that snapped him out of his daze, Jared now staggering to his feet and throwing the fish off of himself. As he did so, an apparent stampede of the smaller creatures had passed him by, racing toward a location somewhere behind. He turned to look, eyes widening as one of the critters stopped to attack a small girl, ""Oh no you don't!"" he shouted, screaming at the top of his lungs and running toward the girl in what seemed like slow motion.<br/><br/><i>""Don't be afraid...""</i><br/><br/>""I'm not! I'm not afraid!"" Jared cried, seemingly answering the voice he was imagining.<br/><br/><i>""...and don't forget.""</i><br/><br/>At this point Thatch had reached the girl, now taking a leap of his own at the Shadow attacking her. He made a swing his hands, unsure of how he expected to defeat one of these things without a weapon.<i>""You will be the one... to <b>close</b> the door.""</i>As if being saved by a miracle, a small cylinder of light formed his hands during the swinging motion, materializing into a<a href=""http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b407/DoctorSim/keyblade1.jpg"">mysterious, key-shaped object</a>that ended up being the weapon that slammed into the Shadow.

Get inside!"" Jared shouted to the stunned little girl behind him. She hesitated but nodded, darting into the shop door she had originally ran for and into safety. Now was when Jared got a better look at the object (or weapon, apparently, given the effect it had against the Shadow) and was as stunned as the girl was. But he quickly shook it off, sprinting toward the Guard Armor and, using his running for momentum, lobbed the weapon as hard as he could at the creature. The weapon spun rapidly as it sailed in the air, eventually sinking the tip of the ""blade"" into the emblem of the torso. This particular blow seemed to really sting the Guard Armor as it staggered harder than before. Jared could only hope that this would give his apparent comrades a good enough opening to maybe finish the brute off."

Taking aim, he fired at the one in front, it's body exploded into darkness before fading away without leaving a single trace. However, the odd thing was that the others didn't seem to notice it, they just kept going on-and they were after him weren't they? 'Crap!'

He had never felt this way before, and as he looked upon the giant monster reeling from the damage it had taken, he knew what to do with this new-found state of mind.<br/><br/>The monster was a bit far from his position now, so Kasus began sprinting towards it head on, as he did so, a few of the smaller creatures from before made their way towards him. He slashed away at them individually as they came within striking distance, refusing to slow down. Kasus began approaching the giant monster, and it noticed. Lifting one of it's arms high into the air the monster brought it down ferociously, aiming for Kasus who rolled to the side just in time before the arm smashed into the ground, cracking the cement beneath. The attack could have been fatal if it made contact. The monsters arm remained lodged into the ground due to the force of the impact, and Kasus countered by sprinting towards the creature, jumping into the air and slashing it's torso from the side before rolling forward and onto his feet behind the monster.<br/><br/>Kasus turned around and prepared for another attack when one of the smaller creatures caught him by surprise by attacking him from behind. He fell to his knees but immediately stood up and retaliated, slicing the creature into darkness, and then nothing. This distraction allowed the giant monster to pull it's arm from the ground, using the momentum to repeat its attack from before. The monsters arm sped downwards at a high speed towards Kasus, and would've destroyed him, but to his luck the monsters chest was suddenly struck by a key causing it to stagger backwards. The key remained in it's chest and seemed to wound it. Kasus used this opportunity to dash towards the monster and launch himself into the air, impaling his blade into the monsters back. He balanced himself on the monsters torso by placing his feet on it's back and gripping his blade tightly.<br/><br/>Kasus tightened his grip on the blade and began to pull in a sideways motion. He pushed his feet into the monsters back, giving him leverage, and eventually ripped the blade from the torso of the creature, doing a heavy amount of damage and launching Kasus backwards onto the ground.

Clutching his sword tightly it was time to end this, and Elim knew just how. He put one hand on the blade of his sword, focusing his energy into it before it suddenly, in a flash of blue light, changed its shape. It was no longer a sword, but a war hammer. Elim knew just the way to put a end on this beast, by driving a nail into it.<br/><br/>Elim ran forward, newly transformed war hammer in hand as he dodged past Shadows or hit them with his hammer to get them out of his way. Once close enough first he blasted the creature with one more burst of fire from his palm before jumping up and, with one mighty swing of his hammer, smashed it onto the end of the Keyblade lodged in the creature's chest. This weapon seemed to have some powerful affect on the creature, so Elim figured if he drove it further into the creature's chest then it would kill it, Elim smashing the end of the Keyblade with all of his might to drive the thing further into the beast's floating torso, hoping that this would finish this monstrosity once and for all."

Someone hacked at the creature with swords, while another continued shooting at it from their position on the roof. Finally, the last one seemed to transform his weapon somehow. Jared could have sworn that it had once been a sword but now it was somehow a hammer. The youth charged the creature headlong and made a strong leap at the creature's floating torso. It then hit Jared what he was targeting. The key-thing! Since it was apparent that the key-shaped-thing had more effect on these creatures, they must have figured that striking the key deeper into the torso would allow a greater amount of damage to the creature.<br/><br/>And for the most part, it did. The Guard Armor reeled again, all its parts trembling as if in great pain. Slowly, but surely, the creature looked like it was beginning to... dissolve, or melt into darkness. It looked like it was finally defeated. Even the Key-weapon vanished from its place in the creature's torso, doing so in a similar flash of light from whence it first appeared. Thatch was ready was cheer for a hard fought victory, and he even started to, ""Yes! We did it! We-"" but his eyes widened, and he stopped himself mid-sentence. He looked in horror as the puddle of darkness began moving around the nearly dissolved armor parts, filling them with dark energy and restoring their forms. In a single, terrifying moment, the creature they had fought so hard to defeat seemed to be alive again. Its body parts floated around, spinning as they seemed to reassemble the creature. Something was different this time, though. For one thing, the torso was now upside down, and what was once the legs were now the arms, and vice versa. Was this the same creature, or was it<a href=""http://www.khwiki.com/images/thumb/5/5c/Opposite_Armor_KH.png/350px-Opposite_Armor_KH.png"">something else entirely</a>now?<br/><br/>Now, staring at the young people (Jared especially seemed to be the center of its glare), the creature gave a roaring warcry, intending to crush the group in one fell swoop if not for a bit of intervention. Just before it could attack, a streak of light struck the thing from behind. It reeled in pain and quickly turned to face the new threat. There, staring down the creature like a couple of saviors, were two white robed figures. The Judges! The one who had cast the spell, the woman, was holding out her staff and making it glow with power, obviously she was preparing another powerful magic spell. The man standing by her side whirled his glaive into a stance and then shouted, ""Why don't you bastards try fighting someone your own size!"" he then looked to his partner with a confirming glance, ""Seraph."" to which the woman responded with a nod.<br/><br/>""Of course, Raiden. Protect!"" she commanded, the light from her staff vanishing and then reappearing around Raiden's body as he charged the creature. The creature swung a hammer-like arm but the man just stood there and<i>took the attack</i>, blocking it head on with his weapon. How this one man had that kind of strength was anyone's guess, but obviously the magic spell of the woman named Seraph was a likely factor. After the block, the man named Raiden just wailed on the creature, relentlessly hacking at it with his weapon and showing no signs of weakness or fatigue. It was obvious that these two had fought many battles like this before, and were not to be taken lightly.<br/><br/>""What are ye waiting, for, lad?"" called a familiar voice, Dion running onto the scene from the same direction the Judges had come. Instead of fighting he just roughly grabbed Jared's arm and took off down the street and away from the big brute of a Heartless, ""All of ye, follow me!"" he said to the others who had fought the previous creature, ""You're all in terrible danger if ye stay here! Come!"""

She was in the midst of what seemed like a bar. She looked around and there she saw her self dress as a game master she was dealing cards and there was the man that the young boy had shown them on the scroll with a gang of men around them. Serene was out of her body watching her self but nothing was tangible. As she looked around she saw a little monkey picking the pockets of the men that where playing the game. Serene watched as she saw her self yelled at the monkey ""Stop Theif!"" As they looked away she grabbed the money on the table and ran after the monkey. The men at the table did not notice until she was gone and did not look very happy. She followed herself and there in the alleyway she had seen earlier was the monkey and herself counting up the money. She laughed and said we got them good didn't we Stan. As she hi-fives the monkey they looked very pleased. She knocked on the door which was the back of the bar they where in. It opened and there was the bar keeper. ""I am sorry, they said if I did not tell them they would kill me."" Serene watched in anger and sadness because she remembered what was going to happen. But she could not look away as one of the men wrapped his arm around the neck of the bar keeper and sliced his neck. Blood splattered on to the white dress shirt she was wearing and she could remember the rage that ran through her body. They laughed as her friends body fell to the floor and they moved in on her.<br/><br/>Serene woke at that moment and saw her comrades running away from where they had previously been fighting. She looked over and there the creature had changed there was also two people that she had not seen before fighting the creature. Sounding the creature was the dark mass that she had seen envelope Moon In-Sun. She instinctively followed the other as they ran the other way."

Deciding to leave the rest to the pros (and to trust them when they said that it was dangerous to remain there any longer) Simo climbed down to the ground and hurried after the others, his sniper rife safe on his back.

Elim was about to change his weapon back, but then something else occurred. The creature seemed to change and inverse itself and thus acquire a second wind as it now roared at them. Elim raised his hammer, getting ready to fight while also thinking that a hammer would be more effective right now against this type of creature. Fortunately another group showed up, these people seeming much more experienced in terms of combat ability and looked like they had dealt with whatever kind of creature this was.<br/><br/>Elim wanted to run past the creature instead of away from it. His targets were in that direction, but doing that would distract those currently fighting it. Elim may have wanted revenge, but he wasn't so low and so desperate to use and endanger others for his revenge. Not only that, but Elim knew that he had no chance of fighting this creature as well if he decided to try and go against it to make the path clear. With one fist tightly clenched around the hilt of his hammer and his other one balled up tightly at his side, Elim began to go with the others quite begrudgingly. He was so close and now his targets were put out of his reach once again as they were probably leaving this world as this all happened, or so Elim assumed.<br/><br/>As Elim moved with the others his hammer glowed for a moment before turning back into its original sword form before the boy sheathed it to allow him to move a little faster since a hammer was harder to run with than a sheathed sword was."

It was safe to assume the group had defeated the thing,<b><i>""Woohooooo!""</i></b>he exclaimed, his body was on fire, part of him wanted to take on a million of these things, but he knew if it weren't for the aid of the others, he would've surely been killed. Still, he couldn't fight the urge to fight.<br/><br/>It took Kasus a moment to realize the odd pool of darkness that began to surround the creatures body parts. He didn't know much, or anything about these things, but he knew that dark aura was bad stuff, and his theory was proved correct as the defeated creature seemed to come back to life in front of the group. The body parts were all mixed up but it was definitely just as deadly as before, and even felt bigger for some reason. Kasus tightened the grip on his blade as he thought of a new attack strategy, but he was too slow, the thing was just about to attack when some kind of white light struck the thing from behind. Kasus looked to his right and saw two white robed figures, their faces shrouded in darkness, but even so they seemed to be the good guys here. They exchanged words, and one of the hooded warriors began to attack the creature with ease. This was certainly not their first encounter with these things.<br/><br/><b>""All of ye, follow me! You're all in terrible danger if ye stay here! Come!""</b>shouted the old man that had saved Kasus from before. It was obvious the two hooded figures could handle themselves against the monster.

The old man also seemed to wish for the others to follow but... why? He obviously needed to get them to safety, sure, but Jared could see it in the man's expression. He had other motives for bringing the others along, but what were they?<br/><br/>After a few moments of running, and cutting their way through Heartless stragglers, the group found themselves in an old hanger, not used in many years. Jared recognized it as home, where he and the old man lived. Once inside, he looked quizzically at the older man, ""Hold on, what's this about? We could have helped back there!"" he said, only now protesting to being brought back home and out of the action, ""Those Judges need to know that this..."" the key-weapon appeared in his hand, ""...is the strongest weapon to use against it!"" the sight of the weapon garnered a pause of surprise from the old man.<br/><br/>""...Keyblade?"" he asked, staring at the weapon in awe, ""Could it really be...?"" he then shook his head and got back to the point, ""Never mind that, for now ye lot need to get off this world, and I mean now."" without waiting for any response or argument he walked to a door, one that led into the main bay of the hanger, ""I don't know how. And I don't know why, but those Judges are convinced that ye all are to blame for what happened. Even showed me images of ye sneaking right into the control center."" as he said this he was undoing a series of locks on the door. Whatever was behind it was surely valuable to him for it to have such security measures, ""But I know you're innocent. Ye must be. The lad,"" he said, referring to Jared, ""doesn't know a thing about computers, much less how to hack them or sabotage them. So you all must leave before the Judges finish off that brute outside, because ye will be next on their list.""<br/><br/>Jared was stunned, ""But how?"" was all he could say.<br/><br/>""You're only hope to find the ones responsible. I wasn't sure how you could do it... but then you showed me that Keyblade. Lad, that weapon is the stuff of legends. Saved all the worlds from those creatures outside, it did. But that were a long time ago, before our time, before even the Judges,"" he paused, as if unsure how much he should say, ""but now's the time. Take the Enterprise, boy. I know you've always wanted to, and now she's yours. Use her to get off Lunaris and hunt down the bastards who are truly responsible for all this.""<br/><br/>The name he spoke, the Enterprise, was a ship's name. An old exploratory gummi ship from an age ago. It was built for long distance travel, and for accommodating her crew during long trips. Jared knew this from the stories he'd been told, that Dion had once been the captain of it once upon a time. He stood in stunned silence as Dion pushed open the door, showing the group a sizable vessel, an older gummi ship but a reliable one, and one that could just as easily be a home away from home for the crew. Its hatch was already opened, and Dion gestured for everyone to board it, ""I'll be staying behind. Got to buy ye as much time as ye need to escape."" before he left, he tossed his spear to Jared, ""Here, just because ye have that Keyblade, it doesn't make ye invincible. A backup weapon is never a bad idea."" And with that he left, leaving the group to take the ship.<br/><br/>Minutes later, the ship known as the Enterprise blasted off from Lunaris. An unauthorized launch, to be sure. And now its crew would be known across the worlds as the outlaws who sabotaged Lunaris' WDS system. As Enemies of the Light."

He had practically shoved his face into the window and watched as Lunaris slowly began to fade in the distance.<b>""Wooohooooooo!!!!""</b>Kasus began jumping with joy,<b>""Yes! I can't believe it! Oh man, i've been waiting my whole life for this.""</b>With a determined smile, he punched the window. Keeping his fist placed on the glass.<b>""Bring it on universe.""</b><br/><br/>As he stared out the window, Kasus recalled the white robed figures from before that had took on the monster. The Judges. He had never heard of them, but they sounded awfully familiar for some reason. He didn't quite understand why though. Turning around, Kasus looked to the others, excited to get to know them. It took a moment for him to realize the situation they were in. The excitement from boarding a gummi ship for the first time made him forget, we're outlaws. Everybody thinks we're to blame for the monsters. He recalled what the old man had said, that those Judges.<b><i>""So you all must leave before the Judges finish off that brute outside, because ye will be next on their list.""</i></b>The thought of those two coming after him made Kasus shutter.<br/><br/>Looking around, he realized that the group were complete strangers. It definitely wasn't a coincidence that the lot had all been framed for what happened. He knew he was innocent, but Kasus had never met these people in his life. He had no idea who they could be. It felt somewhat awkward in the ship. Best thing to do is at least talk about it. Kasus placed his hands behind his head as he spoke.<b>""So, ummmmmmmm.

His enemies weren't in this direction. The ones that took everything away from him. All of the talk of Keyblades, Heartless, Judges, the WDS, and all of that other talk went right over Elim's head for multiple reasons. One Elim's world was a more backwoods world and thus was way behind the times on all of this world traveling stuff and the legends and lore that came with it. Number two Elim was just looking at the gorund the entire time, his fists clenched. Those people were strong, those Judges or whoever they were. That monster was strong. Even the enemy she was chasing after was also really strong according to rumors in Elim's world.<br/><br/>Elim wanted to go that way, but there would be no point if it meant getting killed or fighting people not involved in Elim's own situation. Plus this all opened Elim's eyes as well at how powerless she was right now. So without much of a word Elim boarded the Gummi Ship with the others. As the ship blasted off and the others conversed while it traveled the cosmos Elim only did one thing. Suddenly with all of his rage he punched the wall of the ship, teeth grit together tightly before a sign caught his eye. Holo Deck. Elim remembered seeing one on the ship that transported him from Ithelia. Apparently it was a large space meant for all types of things. That could also include training.<br/><br/>""It doesn't matter what all of this is."" Elim suddenly spoke now after Kasus did. ""All that matters is that we are weak. If we want to survive whatever the hell is going on we get stronger, that's all there is to it."" That was Elim's two cents as without much of a word he went down to the holo deck to begin training to sharpen his skills and build his strength. If the Holo Deck could lock to keep others out to prevent them from disturbing him Elim would lock it if the button to do so were an obvious thing since this technology was still a bit new for Elim. Otherwise Elim just focused on training and practicing with his weapon skills and magic in hopes that the others would leave him alone. He was not in the best of moods right now, especially since his quarry had, once again, managed to slip out of his reach."

Even though her heart did not want to leave her body was still moving.<br/><br/>The old man spoke to us all when we where at there home he told us we had to leave Serene's heart stop but again her body moved with the rest.

Also, how did they know that all of us would meet up? Not only that, but how can these judge people still think we were the ones to blame when they had to have seen us fighting those monsters? Also, they didn't seem to put much effort into trying to capture us after we ran away. Sure they were busy with the monster, but I would think that we would be a high enough priority to at least warrant some sort of effort to catch us, in fact it looked more like they were trying to protect us.

Dion was tough as nails, Jared knew that much, but those Judges were like a whole other level. He quickly tried to erase those thoughts from mind.

On screen, a star chart was loaded up, showing them various dots, some labeled with names and others labeled as uncharted. He continued typing, doing so with a single hand while the other was kept firmly on the ship's controls. He keyed in the name Quark and the chart on screen zoomed in a bit on one of the dots, and showing a highlighted line that traced from the world to where he presumed was the ship's current coordinates, ""Hmm, well it's a bit of a trip, according to this, and it says there's a WDS there as well, meaning there's a good chance we'll have to go incognito somehow.

The ship's got a captain's log so we'll just see if it has any answers."" he said as he keyed something else into the computer. At that command, the screen switched from a star chart to series of journal entries that were signed by the ship's previous captain, ""Come on, old man. Don't let me down now."" said Jared as he scrolled through the entries, ""This one looks promising."" he said before clicking one of the selections, allowing the entry to be viewed on screen by everyone in the room.<br/><br/>It was a pre-mission log, detailing the purpose of the ship and the assignment it was being used for. Like the old man said, it was an exploratory vessel, meant for the purpose of finding uncharted worlds and establishing contact with them. Along with the mission summary, the log explained some of the dangers the crew would likely face, namely the Heartless. Heartless, as the log explained, were creatures from some kind of parallel realm referred to as the ""Other Side"", that often emerged into this realm and fed on the darkness in people's hearts, preying on them and turning them into Heartless themselves. This knowledge was credited to a report written by someone called Ansem, who had apparently conducted thorough research on Heartless and the ""Other Side"" over a thousand years ago, even learning how to create his own ""synthetic"" Heartless marked by a Heart-shaped emblem they bore on their body somewhere.<i>Just like that armored thing. So this Ansem guy created it? Weird.</i>The entry went on to explain that all things, even the worlds themselves, had ""hearts"", and these hearts were like a doorway to the Other Side where Heartless came from. The heart of a world, as written in the report, is symbolized by a Keyhole hidden somewhere within it, one that only a weapon called a Keyblade could seal, effectively locking out the Heartless and preventing them from consuming the worlds.<i>Keyblade...? Isn't what Dion called that thing I obtained?</i><br/><br/>""Well, I guess that answers some of our questions..."" said Jared, closing the entry and reopening the star chart, ""...but we have a slight problem. Quark is probably our best chance at rearming this ship. Problem is, it's a bit far way, and the ship's shields and engines are likely to run out of power before we get there. But don't worry, these things run on special energy cells that automatically recharge over time when the ship isn't in use. So if we just make a couple of pit stops along the way we can keep them good and charged. Here,"" he showed them the route to Quark, pointing out that a handful of other worlds were on the route toward it, ""see these other dots? These are other worlds that we'll have to pass by on the way, so we should be safe to use them as pit stops to recharge the ship. Looks like we'll be arriving at the first one momentarily. It hasn't been charted yet, so we won't know what world it is until we actually arrive. Kind of exciting when you think about it, like opening a birthday present or something, you know?"""

Even those weaker Heartless seemed to put up a decent fight against them and those things were most likely small fry.<br/><br/>Luckily this space below the deck seemed to be outfitted with exactly what Elim needed for training, which wasn't much. Just some objects he could set up as training dummies to practice on. They were good for practice, but Elim really wanted to test his blade against more of those Heartless. After all her teacher once told him that an hour of battle is like one hundred hours of training, or something along those lines anyway. Still training was good for sharpening one's technique and basic strength building and that was what Elim was taking the time to do. He was stuck here with these people for now, so Elim would just follow them until a chance to get back on the hunt for his prey presented itself.<br/><br/>Of course its not like Elim hated their company. No, not at all. He just would rather be chasing those who took everything from them and cleaving their heads from their shoulders. With this thought his flame cloaked blade slashed straight through the head of the makeshift training dummy, the young blue mage panting softly as he sat down. Currently he was not wearing his armor. No he had set it aside and chose a different ensemble for training. A white tunic and brown cloth pants. Essentially the standard outfit of any one from more medieval times, not that Elim knew that of course.<br/><br/>His, or rather her as without the armor one could see Elim's slightly more feminine physique that was hidden by the armor if they got a good enough look (which Elim didn't actually care about staying in disguise around these people), hair done up in a ponytail as usual so it wouldn't get in the way. Elim peered down at his blade as he sat down on the ground for a short breather, the reflection in its shiny surface showing a fiery glare as his fist clenched tighter around the grip. ""Ill kill all of them...all of those accursed bandits...I swear it."" This thought of anger, and a short breather of course, gave Elim new found vigor as he got back to training, testing different weapons this time. Warhammers, scythes, maces. The style his master taught him did not teach singular mastery of one weapon, but instead a spread focus in several different weapons since different weapons were best for different opponents.<br/><br/>He even tested something else. A bow. The sword could transform into one, but no arrows were provided. No Elim used something else. Magic. By pouring magic into the bow arrows of wind or fire could be shot from its string. A good technique, but one that was by no means battle ready since Elim just thought of it. That was what the ship travel was for though as Elim kept up training, only stopping for short breathers to drink a bit of water every now and again. Elim had no intention of going up there with the others to converse. If they needed him he would be down below, using his time wisely. He would let the others plan their course since with Elim's more backwoods world origin there was no way she could provide any viable input and he knew that. All of this stuff about Gummi Ships, Keyblades, Heartless... all of it just flew over Elim's head the entire time.<br/><br/>So until either someone came down to talk or they arrived at their first destination Elim would keep to herself down below deck, training and preparing herself as best as she could for whatever fights that lay up ahead before them."

""Alright, hang on. The ship's got a captain's log so we'll just see if it has any answers."" It seemed so natural to Serene as he type out stuff on a board of keys. Which gave Serene more confidences. The star chart that was on the screen disappeared and then appeared a series of journal entries. She glanced over them as Jared said ""Come on, old man. Don't let me down now."" and scrolled through the entries, ""This one looks promising."" he said before clicking one of the selections, allowing the entry to be viewed on screen by everyone in the room.<br/><br/>Jared began to say. That it was a pre-mission log, detailing the purpose of the ship and the assignment it was being used for. Like the old man said, it was an exploratory vessel, meant for the purpose of finding uncharted worlds and establishing contact with them. Along with the mission summary, the log explained some of the dangers the crew would likely face, namely the Heartless. Heartless, as the log explained, were creatures from some kind of parallel realm referred to as the ""Other Side"", that often emerged into this realm and fed on the darkness in people's hearts, preying on them and turning them into Heartless themselves. This knowledge was credited to a report written by someone called Ansem, who had apparently conducted thorough research on Heartless and the ""Other Side"" over a thousand years ago, even learning how to create his own ""synthetic"" Heartless marked by a Heart-shaped emblem they bore on their body somewhere. Just like that armored thing. So this Ansem guy created it? Weird. The entry went on to explain that all things, even the worlds themselves, had ""hearts"", and these hearts were like a doorway to the Other Side where Heartless came from. The heart of a world, as written in the report, is symbolized by a Keyhole hidden somewhere within it, one that only a weapon called a Keyblade could seal, effectively locking out the Heartless and preventing them from consuming the worlds. Keyblade...? Isn't what Dion called that thing I obtained?<br/><br/>""Well, I guess that answers some of our questions..."" said Jared, closing the entry and reopening the star chart, ""...but we have a slight problem. Quark is probably our best chance at rearming this ship. Problem is, it's a bit far way, and the ship's shields and engines are likely to run out of power before we get there. But don't worry, these things run on special energy cells that automatically recharge over time when the ship isn't in use. So if we just make a couple of pit stops along the way we can keep them good and charged. Here,"" he showed them the route to Quark, pointing out that a handful of other worlds were on the route toward it, ""see these other dots? These are other worlds that we'll have to pass by on the way, so we should be safe to use them as pit stops to recharge the ship. Looks like we'll be arriving at the first one momentarily. It hasn't been charted yet, so we won't know what world it is until we actually arrive. Kind of exciting when you think about it, like opening a birthday present or something, you know?""<br/><br/>Exciting Serene did not know about she still wanted to know the biggest question that was in her mind. Where was Moon In-Sun? What had those Heartless done to them. Would she ever get to see him again? The thought she was thinking she keep to herself. She had learned quickly that it did not help blurting them out. Everything was so uncertain to her. The only the that she knew was that she was going to Quark. She could not remember every hearing of it. So it would be an adventure. Deep down she a worry but was excited. Something Moon In-Sun had said to her before she left was that what ever happened she would learn who she truely was and that excitement the other where feeling startd to fill her body. A tear ran down her face as she though of him. She quickly wiped it away hoping the others did not see it. She did not want them to think she was weak. Even thought this was the weakest she had ever felt."

Not only did he not know the name of his home world, but he had also forgotten the name of this one. He was honestly fine with whatever everyone else decided to do. Hell, the only reason he even came to this world in the first place was because the Gummi Ship to it was leaving sooner then the others, that was quite literally his only reason for choosing this world (although he was glad that he made that choice now). ""I'm cool with anything. I don't really know the names of any other worlds that we could go to, so I'm willing to just let the rest of your plot our course"" he told the others ""although I must admit; I'm pretty curious to see what an 'industrial world' looks like. It sounds like it could be a lot of fun."" While Simo knew what both the words industrial and world meant, he had no idea what something that required them to be put together in order to properly describe it would look like. 'Geez, I only left home a few days ago and now I'm already involved in some big adventure. I'm surprised it took dad this long to leave himself!'"

Jared killed the ship's engine, allowing it and the shields to begin recharging, ""Well,"" he said, getting out of the captain's seat and instinctively stretched his arms out as if he'd woken up from a nap, ""It's gonna be a while before the energy cells are fully recharged, so we might as well kill some time and explore. But I think we should have something of a rule to follow. Either we stay on the ship or we stay together, going off on our own on some world we've never heard of is just asking for trouble, and the last thing we need is someone getting lost."" as he said that, he grabbed up the spear that the old man had given him and clicked it into a leather holster strapped to his back. True, he had the Keyblade and could technically just use it, but the old man made a good point when he said that a backup weapon was never a bad idea. With that done, he left the bridge and first past by the holodeck door, knocking on it lightly, ""Hey! You still in there?"" he called out to the person he hoped was still inside, ""We've landed so if you wanna take the chance to look around we're all going now!""<br/><br/>Whether he got a response or not, Thatch turned and headed for the main hatch entrance to the ship, ""Here goes nothing."" he said as he hit the switch to open the ship's main door. It slid open with a hiss, and then the first thing the intrepid adventurers felt was a bone chilling wind coming from outside. A look outside didn't tell them much about where they had landed, because there was ice as far as the eye could see, ""Oh g-great. Figures the first place we come to is covered in ice. Well, how cold could it possibly be?"" he asked the others before volunteering himself to step outside first. It was cold of course, but the main source of the cold seemed to be more from the wind than the ice itself, curiously. He took a cursory glance around and then blinked, ""What the? No way!"" he said, taking another few steps toward what he saw and pointing it out to the others, ""Is that... is that what I think it is?"" the object he pointed to in the distance was none other than a ship of all things. Yes, a ship, with sails and everything covered in snow and stuck in what Jared now feared was a frozen harbor, ""Jeez, what kind of place is this?""<br/><br/>Further in the distance, he spotted something else. A town! It was also covered in snow and ice, and even had a dock with more ships frozen in place, ""Look, a town! Could mean people. Might as well see if anyone's home."" he told the others, then began walking toward the frozen town. And so the journey began, its first steps taking place on a seemingly...<i>Frozen</i>world."

She could not believe how cold it was. She was not prepared for this. But a part of her still wanted to go out and step on to the frozen land. She said out loud with a surety ""I have never seen snow."" Her mind wondered and as it did a memory came to her mind. A hot summer breeze as she lay in the grass and tow other children her age playing around her. She laughed as another made a funny face and chased the other around as she started to make flower crowns with the daisy that where around them. As they all stepped off of the ship this memory brought warmth to her and the cold did not seem to bother her as much."

To affirm Elim's suspicions a knock upon the door along with a call that they had landed and were going to explore came from outside the door. ""Alright..."" was the somewhat quiet response that Elim gave to whoever knocked upon the door. Elim drank the last bit of water in his Decanter of Endless Water, a gift from her master that made adventuring alot easier in terms of not needing to worry about water. It was the only magical item he bequeathed to her. Her own armor and sword she had made herself with what her master had taught her.<br/><br/>After putting on a more sturdier set of clothing and donning his armor Elim stepped outside of the room, going towards where the exit door had been as he assumed everyone was headed there. Naturally donning his armor took a short bit so everyone had gotten there first and Jared had already stepped outside. Elim felt the cold but did not shiver as he was a bit too strong willed for that. Plus these winds were like the winds of Icewind Dale, where Elim had to spend a majority of his time after his master died tracking down the Crimson Skull Bandits since that is where they decided to make base next according to rumors before fleeing to the other worlds. Of course Elim still felt cold, but wasn't going to show it. His armor also helped shield him from the harsh colds, which was nice. Had these people never gone adventuring before? What were their... 'worlds' like in that they could just sit around and do nothing.<br/><br/>""Reminds me of Icewind Dale back at home on the northernmost part of the Sword Coast back in my... world as I think it is called."" These were the first words that Elim spoke aloud to the group since he left for training and ones that alerted the others to his presence. After loosely wrapping a makeshift scarf around his mouth and neck, to help keep the sting of breathing in icy wind away, he stepped off the ship into the harsh winter environment, figuring that he might as well go with them. Who knows, maybe her prey fled to this world? Either way just sitting in the ship training all day wasn't going to get anything done.<br/><br/>The young blue mage was a bit paranoid of what they could encounter here on this strange world though. Frozen wilderness back in Ithelia certainly didn't hold friendly creatures. From polar bears and winter wolves to even creatures like ice wyrms (which Elim always ran or hid from since he knew that facing one alone was suicide), Elim didn't trust the frozen wilderness more than he trusted the regular wilderness. So naturally a hand was always on his sword as they walked towards the town, Elim not really choosing to interact with any of them unless they decided to talk to him. He had never really traveled with others before besides her teacher so naturally conversation and social graces were not Elim's strong suits."

First off; the ocean was frozen, something not as easy as freezing, say, a small puddle of water while fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, seawater freezes at about 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit. It was also clear that whatever happened here took the natives by surprise since there were still ships in the harbor. Whatever had happened wasn't natural, most likely magic of some kind ""guys...I get the feeling that the people of this world are going to need our help a lot more then we'll need their's."" The question however remained; who, or what did this. The first thing that came to his mind were the strange creatures from the last world 'sure, none of them had ice magic...but who's to say that what I saw before were the only types that existed?' he stepped off the ship with a look of deep concern on his face"

As much as he would like to help with whatever this ice age was, magic was something he just didn't understand that well, ""Wish I knew how. I salvage shipwrecks for a living, this sort of thing is totally beyond me..."" he said to Simo as they all walked. After that he stayed quiet for a bit, listening to the crunching of their footsteps on the snow and ice. From somewhere in the town, an alarming shout was what got Jared's attention.<br/><br/>""They're attacking again! Guard the Prince!"" it came from the direction of a castle that Jared imagined would have looked prettier if not for the jagged icicles that protruded from it's roof and walls. Simo was right, this was definitely not natural. But there was no time to think about that right now. Jared spotted the source of the shouting, soldiers in uniform stood their ground, holding halberds or crossbows and preparing to go to battle against... whatever it was they were shouting about. There were seven of them in total, one of them fairly<a href=""http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100605212228/kingdomhearts/images/3/35/Large_Body.png"">big and with a round body</a>, and flanked by a half dozen smaller creatures that seemed to just float in the air. The floating ones all had conical shapes and pointed hats for heads, but four of them were<a href=""http://images.wikia.com/kingdomhearts/images/archive/2/24/20100722132756!Blue_Rhapsody.png"">aquatic blue</a>and the other two were more of a<a href=""http://www.khwiki.com/images/thumb/3/34/Turquoise_March_KHD.png/100px-Turquoise_March_KHD.png"">striped, icy blue</a>. However, all the creatures sported a heart-shaped emblem on their chests. The very same one found on the armored creature that attacked Lunaris.<br/><br/>""Heartless!"" said Jared sharply to others, pointing to the emblems before brandishing his spear, ""Come on, let's go help!"" and with that he broke into a run, charging right past the soldiers and into the fray. He'd chosen to wield his spear instead of the Keyblade because he thought it best not to show it off everywhere the group went.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q073Ha7JK8Y"">Cue Battle Theme - Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?</a>"

Their ability to fly and use long range attacks made them deadly to anyone unprepared...Simo was not one of those people. Quickly tacking aim, he fired off a shot at one of the ice blue flying pot creatures, while sending then other into the ground with gravity for someone else to deal with. The aquatic blue ones responded to this by casting water magic at him, which he deflected with Reflect ""Go! I'll provide covering fire"" one thing he had learned about magic using creatures was that it became a lot harder for them to use their magic while under siege.

A small smirk appeared on Elim's face as he drew his blade. It was time for some more practice. ""Lets go."" With that he charged forward towards the small group of Heartless, blade raised. As he charged forward he focused a small bit and chanted 'Fire!"". The moment he did magic sparked through his blade as flames licked to life across its surface as he charged. Thanks to Simo's cover fire not as many would have attacked Elim as he charged. ""Die beast!"" With a cry he slashed one of them, the flame imbued blade dealing a heavy dose of damage, weakening it considerably as it began to fly up after reeling from that attack.<br/><br/>Elim wasn't going to let it get away though. Suddenly a flash of blue light covered his weapon and in the next moment it was a bow, the transformation of his weapon taking place rather quickly as Elim aimed the arrowless bow at the creature. Fire was still licking the bow's surface now from Elim's earlier spell, but now it was gathered to the string. With a single pluck of the bowstring an arrow of flame shot out at the creature, striking it clean, the fiery arrow ending the beast. One down, six to go. Elim was about to make a charge for the larger heartless, but unfortunately he couldn't.<br/><br/>The moment he returned to its sword shape he suddenly cried out loudly, nearly falling forward, but keeping his feet as a blast of ice magic hit him square in the back. It sent chills through him and the icicles nearly stabbing him in the back had it not been for the boy's armor, instead probably leaving some very nasty bruises on his back. Still, he grit his teeth through the pain before suddenly something changed about Elim. A strange blue glow seemed to travel through his veins, his blue eyes also shimmering strangely, a smirk appearing on his face.<br/><br/>""That may have hurt, but... now its mine!"" Elim, gritting his teeth and enduring the blast of ice to his back, some of the damage reduced by his armor but it was still a pretty bad blow, launched a blast of fire at the creature who attacked him from his hand with the Fire spell before suddenly turning towards the Large Body, deciding to attack it before it attacked the guards by doing something different. That same blue glow that had been going through Elim's veins and shimmering in his blue eyes before after he got hit by the blizzard spell now forming in his hand. ""And now it'll be your downfall!"" Thrusting his palm towards the Large Body, the young boy chanted out one word.<i>""Blizzard!""</i>A blast of ice shot out his palm, heading straight for the Large Body now."

She ran toward it again and swept through the air as it took the hit. This time taking more of an impact. She hit it again and again sweeping through the air it still did not seem to take much damage. She thought to herself. These ones are tuff! She took a deep breathe and prepared for the next attack.

With a swing, he arced his spear in a sweeping blow at some of the flying ones, but they managed to float out of the way. He suddenly had the suspicion that this wouldn't be quite as simple as the creatures on Lunaris proved to be. He saw one of them charging up with magic and had to leap out of the way to avoid being impaled by the icicle it shot down at him. Just then he heard a gunshot and the one that had fired off the spell was knocked back and vanished in a similar manner that it had appeared. And then, some invisible force began forcing another dark blue one closer to the ground. Perfect. Jared jumped on this opportunity, lunging as fast he could and successfully impaling the Heartless on the blade of his spear, it too disappearing in much the same way as the other.<br/><br/>At this point he might have focused on the big one, but the two lighter colored fliers were now directing their attention squarely on him. They looked slightly bigger, which probably meant they were more powerful in some way. And boy were they! The first one cast a spell that unleashed a brief torrent of water like a fireman's water hose. The spray of water was too fast for Jared dodge, and the liquid nature of the water made it impossible to block or deflect so he had no choice but to take the hit, the spray knocking him off his feet and into the snow and ice below him. He staggered to his feet as quick as possible, but his new-found wetness made him even colder than before, as he was now visibly shivering violently and could barely hold his weapon straight as a result. Still, he fought the pain of the cold when he saw the second was about to use its spell and threw his spear at it as hard as he could. The weapon lurched through the air and embedded itself in the chest of the Heartless before it could cast its spell, causing the thing to stagger back and cancel out the charge of its magic.<br/><br/>Then he noticed it. The other one turned around! Its aim was now directed at the young man the soldiers called a prince. The prince stood in wide-eyed surprise, frozen in terror as the Heartless began making its move, ""Oh no you don't!"" cried Jared as he lurched forward, finally summoning the keyblade and throwing it squarely at the creature only to quickly call it back to his hands and repeat the throw two more times, ""Eat this!"" he shouted upon performing the last throw, a maneuver that was enough to jar it out of casting its spell but not quite enough to kill it. He could only hope that perhaps Simo's cover fire might finish it off before it could move to attack the Prince again."

His allies seemed to have everything under control so far, and the last thing he wanted to do was mess everything up my shooting one of them accidentally. Sure, he had quite a few clear shots he could take, however, his allies were far too close to his line of fire for him to risk it. They were all far too mobile, so it was hard for him to tell of any of them would suddenly get in his way right before he fired...when it was too late to stop. So he opted to wait. He knew his role in the team; he wasn't a heavy hitter physically or magically, he wasn't an unbreakable wall that could shield his allies, and he wasn't a healer. No, Simo was something else; he was the guy who could pick off squishy and vital targets, one by one. With a high enough vantage point, he could cripple an enemy army by wiping out the vulnerable healers, heavy hitting mages, and anyone else squishy but strong, before his team even got to them<br/><br/>So when he saw Jared trying to stop one of the flying pots from casting a spell at the prince, he knew he was needed. Quickly getting into action, Simo re-positioned himself so that he could get a clear kill shot at the thing. One common phrase he had heard before when directing the aim of others was 'right between the eyes', and it made the normally chipper Simo scoff in disgust. Clearly people who said that knew nothing about skulls, since 'right between the eyes' is quite literally the worst place to aim for most creatures when going for a head-shot, as that was the hardest part of the skull for most living creatures. Now the eyes themselves on the other hand...they were something else. For as valuable a part of the body the eyes were, the only thing that they could call a defense was their small size, However, not only were they extremely frail, they also served as an excellent way for a bullet to enter a skull. Some people said that eyes were the windows to the soul, but Simo thought of them as windows to your<i>brain</i>. He took aim at the small yellow dot and fired"

Elim knew that he had enough magical energy left at the current moment for maybe two or three more spells, so he knew he had to make it count.<br/><br/>Seeing the creature attempt to attack Elim using its stomach, and Elim not knowing the rather invincible nature of it, the young blue mage charged towards the creature, it going for one of its famous stomach thrusts. Elim attempted to strike the creature's stomach with his sword, but this was only met with failure. His attack was thrown backwards, Elim digging his feet into the ground in an attempt to stay standing and keep his balance, and it worked thankfully, the two attacks deflecting one another, but the Large Body's had more weight behind it thanks to its large size so it knocked Elim back a bit.<br/><br/>Angered, Elim quickly charged forward once again, quickly stepping to the side and around it in a spinning motion to get behind it quickly where Elim placed a slash down its back, then one more before thrusting his palm right towards the creature's back. A loud<i>""Blizzard""</i>left Elim's mouth as a blast of ice would be shot from his hand point blank right into its back. Unfortunately this thing was durable as hell as it quickly turned around, slamming Elim again with another powerful thrust of its stomach, this one Elim not having the time to guard against as he was thrown back.<br/><br/>This was starting to get annoying. This creature was tough and it was good practice, but it was really starting to piss Elim off. With a flash of light over his weapon it changed into a spear with a rather long and sharp blade on the end of it. It was a glaive to be exact. Swords, shields, and glaives. While Elim had only moderate proficiency in a small handful of other weapons, those were the three he was the best with.<i>""Fire!""</i>With that one word flames would coat and lick the surface of the glaive as Elim charged forward one more time, aiming to end this beast since that blast of ice in the back from before and that powerful stomach thrust had hurt a bit. Not to mention his magical energies were running now dangerously low and he needed a bit of insurance in case anything else showed up and he certainly didn't want to have to wait the bit for his reserves to replenish.<br/><br/>Seeing it attempt to now lug one of its meaty fists at Elim the boy barely ducked out of the way, the fist grazing the side of his head. It hurt a good bit, but Elim grit his teeth through it and thrust the glave upwards. If its stomach couldn't be affected there was one part that could. The head. With a loud, almost bloodthirsty shout he thrust the flame covered blade of the glaive right into the creature's head, hoping that this blow would end its life."

For what seemed like ages, he felt like he couldn't move, instead just standing there like a shivering moron watching his new friends fighting for their lives against the Heartless. Why wasn't he acting? Why wasn't he doing anything about this? Was it the cold? Was it fear? Maybe it was both? In any case, as he stood there he suddenly heard a voice from his memories. The old man, Dion. He remembered something the old man had taught him long ago on Lunaris. Or rather, something he simply told him regarding his feelings.<br/><br/><i>Your heart can be your most powerful weapon lad,"" he'd said on that day some time ago in the past, ""but your emotions will also betray you if allow it."" Jared remembered asking what he meant by that, and got the following response, ""It means that your passion can give you strength, but it can also be your downfall if you allow it to control you instead of the other way around."" but how could he control that passion more easily, Jared had remembered asking. To this, he got another response, ""Simple lad, just give it form. How do you think those wizard types cast their magic? They give their passion form and let it out in the form of their spells. You can do the same, if you tried hard enough. That's all there is to it. Give your passion form and let that be your weapon. Do this, and your victory will be all but assured.""</i><br/><br/>""Give it form..."" Jared muttered under his breath between shivers, ""...I think I... finally get it... old man..."" he stared at the Keyblade in his hand momentarily. He imagined what he currently felt: frustration, a bit of anger, and perhaps even a hint of fear. He imagined it welling up inside like like a distant thunderstorm. He widened his eyes at the inspiration. That was it! That was the form he would give his feelings, ""...T-T-Thunder!"" he shouted with a slight stutter due to his shakiness. When he did this, the Keyblade sparked with power and he held it straight up for all to see. When he did this, the sparks vanished and instead a series of lightning bolts struck all around him. The floating Heartless were all zapped, their ability to fly rendered useless against a thunderbolt from the sky and they were vaporized. Even the big one, tough as it was, felt the pain of a lightning bolt striking it's helmeted head like a lightning rod, the previous battle damage it had suffered was just barely enough for the bolt to finish it off. The Thunder spell that Jared had cast had effectively ended the fight.<br/><br/>""Hah..."" Jared rasped, now feeling drained as well as freezing cold, ""...g-good work guys. L-Looks like we... w-won..."" his voice trailed and he suddenly collapsed in the snow. The sheer cold and his new-found fatigue from the spell having apparently been too much for him. Seeing this,<a href=""http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131208190651/disney/images/7/7b/Hans_transparent.png"">the Prince</a>rushed to him, placing his forefingers on Jared's neck to check his vitals.<br/><br/>""He's still alive,"" he said to everyone, then hurriedly motioned for two soldiers to pick him up, ""but he won't be for long if he stays out here like this. Quickly, come inside everyone!""<br/><br/>Indoors, Jared was reclined in a chair by a fireplace, wrapped tightly in a thick wool blanket and his bare feet in a pail of warm water. When everyone was brought in and settled, the Prince addressed the newcomers, ""I cannot thank you enough for your intervention. My name is Hans, thirteenth prince of the Southern Isles. Please, I would be honored to learn the names of my saviors."""

He was about to cheer out of celebration when Jared suddenly collapsed to the floor.<b>""Jared!""</b>Kasus shouted, and ran over beside the Prince. He gave a big sigh of relief when the Prince announced Jared was alive, but somewhat hesitated when everybody began to enter the castle. Kasus wanted to get out of the cold as much as the next guy but his twin blade was in the snow somewhere, he didn't want to leave it, but it would be odd to remain outside, so he reluctantly entered the castle with everyone else, hoping they would come back out very soon.<br/><br/>Inside, the Prince introduced himself as Hans.<b>""My names Kasus!

The Keyblade is what he had heard it been called. Elim almost wished that one of the thunderbolts had hit him, so that he could acquire the power of that spell, but figured wishing more damage upon oneself while already roughed up probably was not a good idea when there could potentially be more enemies afoot. Maybe some other time. For now though the Prince, or whatever other noble title that was appropriate for this man as Elim knew the type from not only the clothes, but just the aura they gave off, told them to come inside after having his soldiers pick up Jared.<br/><br/>Soon enough they were inside, away from the elements. Sure Elim wasn't feeling like the others were, with all of the time he had spent in Icewind Dale, he just sort of got used to intense cold like this, but Elim was always glad to get out of the cold just as anyone else was. Elim looked at Jared in front of the fire and just shook his head, not feeling too much concern as this was just him not being strong enough to face the cold. It wasn't that he was heartless, but it was just simply if any of these people, including himself, died on this mission then it was because they weren't strong enough to survive, nothing else.<br/><br/>When Elim heard Kasus's rather... loud and inelegant introduction of himself before royalty Elim almost wanted to punch him in the back of the head. He didn't know how this guy was raised, or if he had been ever around a king before, but from where Elim came from if you introduced yourself as loud as that without bowing you would be thrown out of a castle due to lack of social graces. Sure Elim knew that he wasn't raised on social graces either, but the young blue magus knew the basics of how to behave properly around royalty.<br/><br/>Elim wasn't going to correct him though, there was no point in trying to repair the damage that was done by him. Still, there was a question he did have for this Prince. Elim stepped forward, doing a graceful bow of introduction, as was customary when introducing oneself to loyalty to show them the proper respect, or at least it was where Elim came from anyway. ""My name is Elim and it is an honor to meet you, your Majesty. Also there is no need for your kind thanks, we simply did what anyone else would have done in that situation."" After his short introduction he stood up.<br/><br/>""I do have one question though, your Majesty, if I may."" Elim knew that whenever talking to one of royalty one should always do so with the utmost respect, as Elim was doing now. ""You said that these are the Southern Isles? Does it usually get this cold down south here, or is this winter something that is a bit more unpredictable."" Indeed Elim was a bit curious on that issue, on why it would be so cold in a place called The Southern Isles."

Now that the monsters were taken care of, they could begin to gather some intel on this place. Simo couldn't help but feel that something was just off about this place.

When one of them asked about the weather, he shook his head, ""Oh, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding but this is<i>not</i>the Southern Isles. You stand in Arendelle, the Great Northern Kingdom. But your question about the weather is a good one, and one that I am unsure about myself. It's a bit of a story, so I suggest you all have some hot cocoa while I tell it."" at that he called for a servant and requested warm cocoa be brought to the guests at once. The Servant nodded and hurried off to fulfill the request.<br/><br/>""Now, about this Kingdom,"" Hans started to say, taking a seat and gesturing for the others to do the same so they would all be comfortable, ""it is ruled by Queen Elsa and her younger sister, Princess Anna. Er, well, it was meant to be, anyway..."" his voice trailed off briefly before he cleared his throat and continued, ""...you see, the Queen had only just had her coronation yesterday evening. But I'm afraid things went a bit awry."" at that point, the servant returned with a tray of cups filled with a warm beverage. They brought one for everyone, including Jared should he wake up during the conversation. Hans took his cup and sipped from it before continuing, ""I, along with many other esteemed guests, had been invited for the ceremony and its following celebration, during which time I met her highness the Princess. I know it may sound foolish but we were simply destined to be together, and so the Princess thought to ask her sister for her blessing. She didn't take the news well, and after an argument she, well, how do I put this?"" he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, clearly trying to be careful with his next words, ""The Queen exhibited a sorcerous power and froze the water fountain solid in ice. It certainly surprised everyone, including the Princess as well. Before anything else could be said, her majesty fled the kingdom to the north. Anna wished to follow her, no doubt hoping to bring her back to work all this out and left almost immediately in pursuit."" he sipped his cocoa once more, and said, ""That all happened just last evening. Before she left, Anna asked me to watch over Arendelle for the time being, and so here I remain. But as you can plainly see, the ice from the fountain has now spread, covering the entire kingdom in what appears to be an eternal winter. I've done my best to distribute blankets, warm clothing, and soup to everyone, but if this winter isn't ended, I fear what will happen to the Kingdom.""<br/><br/>The Prince took a breath, sighing stressfully and putting his cup down, ""With this winter, I also fear for the safety of my beloved Anna. I had planned to lead a search party to bring her back but, well as you saw, those creatures began attacking us so we have been unable to send anyone out. I am at a loss for what to do at this point."" he put his head in his hands, visibly troubled by this problem. When all of a sudden...<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f5Ji27cp74"">""I'll bring them back.""</a><br/><br/>It was Jared, now conscious again and rising from the chair he'd been put in and unwrapping the blanket from himself. Hans looked up at him, even standing as if to begin protesting, ""I'm sorry, my Lord, but you can't talk me out of it. If this weather is as bad as you describe, then someone needs to go out there and bring them both home. It sounds like Arendelle needs them now more than ever.""<br/><br/>""...Very well."" said the Prince, defeated, ""But if you're going out there, then I must insist you dress more appropriately. I can hardly believe you came here in your current garb without freezing to death."" he made a point. Jared's clothes consisted of a shirt with no sleeves, so going out there in such garb was basically suicide, ""I'll have warm clothes given to you before you depart. All of you."" he said, now gesturing to the others, assuming they would be accompanying the one he had presumed to be their leader."

He smiled as he spoke about his relationship with the princess but that slowly faded as he explained the Queens reaction and the following events.<br/><br/><i>""Poor guy.

Warm clothes would be very nice. His hot cocoa had cooled by this point, so Kasus chugged it down and stood up, ""Let's find Arendelle's rightful rulers!"" he said with unneeded excitement in his voice."

Each step was harder and harder to maneuver through. The cold was getting to her now also but she pushed herself through it.

This brought up a few questions; first off, why? What was the point in keeping it such a secret? Clearly the people of this world didn't seem to have a problem with magic itself, since they had used magic in the fight, and the prince didn't seem to have a problem with it, The second question was; why did she use her powers then? If she had hidden them from everyone for so long, why waste all of that just trying to convince her sister not to get married to someone she just met? Not only that, but she used her powers on the fountain, and based on his knowledge of fountains, that shouldn't have done much other then be something she could show off her powers on.

He still found it a bit hard to believe that they were just inside of the castle of royalty just like this, even though they did save the Prince from those creatures. Still, even if this world was in trouble they weren't here for that, they were here for their ship to recharge or whatever, as Elim had no idea what was going on with that since he wasn't used to these types of things, and had no time to waste on saving some other realm. Still, its not like that they had much else to do either while the ship recharged, and Elim wasn't keen on just doing nothing.<br/><br/>And it seemed their 'leader' had the same plans as well. ""Well its not really our problem, but we are still stuck here for a while, so I guess we can lend a hand. It'll make for some good training if any more of those creatures attempt to block our way.""

At this the prince excused himself, leaving the room in order to have some warmer clothes fetched for the group. Elim had also left the room, telling he others he'd be waiting outside for them.

He just finished checking when Jared had happened to come outside first, dressed much more warmly for the colder weather, which meant that he would have a lower chance of dying from just the cold, glad that the prince was willing to part with such nice looking fur coats. Of course, Elim had his own way of staying warm with his current clothing, a scarf, or what could be called as such anyway, wrapped around the lower part of Elim's face loosely to help keep the cold air out of his lungs without suffocating him or being uncomfortable.<br/><br/>The older boy said some things about being sorry for speaking for the group, Elim just shaking his head. ""Its fine. It'll be good training if we run into those creatures again, plus its not like we have much else better to do as it beats sitting around the ship."" In all honesty the task didn't seem to urgent. If the princess had ice powers, then she could handle herself. It was the other Princess apparently that seemed to call for more concern if she didn't have such magics. Although Elim knew that if either of those Princesses died it would be their fault for being weak, the thought of not even bothering to do anything about it did sort of leave a bad taste in Elim's mouth.<br/><br/>""Lets just be careful in case we run into any wolves or those... Heartless creatures. Assuming they have wolves here of course..."" Elim had no idea how this whole other world thing worked and how similar other worlds could be, but if this world did have wolves then that could be a problem since wolves were probably a bit different than those dark creatures, at least for these people. For Elim it was probably the same in fighting either. He began to wonder just how different his own world was from not only the two he had seen so far, but also how different it will be from any others he goes to."

Hans left presumably to get the clothing he promised and Jared began to explain his intentions which also explained the doubt in his tone earlier, Kasus refrained from focusing on his hot cocoa that was getting cold and stared in awe as he summoned his keyblade. His only knowledge of the apparent weapon is the explanation given by Dion, who called it legendary. ""I uh, was actually thinking the same thing, heh. Not about the keyblade part I mean, I wanted to help out too but didn't know what to say,""<br/><br/>Kasus thought it strange to use a key as a weapon but it was by far one of the most intriguing things he had seen in his life and he envy'd Jared for being worthy of something like it.

She looked over to the fire her clothes where being hung to dry and the prince was standing looking into the fire. He looked up at her and said. They are waiting outside. He smiled and thanked her. She noodled and head out the door.<br/><br/>There they where all standing silently. Serene spoke. ""So ... I know this is kinda late but, if we are going to save a princess together and posablly die trying to I would at lest like to know your names."""

He currently had on a white coat with a hood, baggy yet thick black pants, and a pair of boots with some kind of white fuzz that was on the part that hugged his legs. 'Simo Hayha; Winter Sniper. Something about that just sounds right' he thought to himself. As he gathered his things (ie his gun) and followed the rest of his team, he suddenly realized that he didn't even know the names of the people he was traveling with...okay, so maybe it wasn't so much 'he suddenly realized' and more 'someone else brought it up first and he agreed with them'. ""You're right; it is kind of silly that we haven't exchanged names yet, I'm Simo. I don't really have much of an interesting tale to tell about my past, I'm pretty average. I grew up in a forest raised by my dad, where I learned how to hunt...and that's pretty much everything noteworthy about my life so far. Well, other then running into these strange Heartless creatures at that last world we were in, but you all know that story""<br/><br/>Less then a day after leaving home, and he was already getting to do something exciting like saving a princess. If this was just the beginning of their adventure, then he was in for a fun time. Also, he was looking forward to giving mountain climbing a try."

Elim didn't require any new clothing from the Prince since he was already prepared, his armor and whatever other clothing he had on beneath it helping to shield him from the cold rather easily, a scarf wrapped around his neck and loosely around his mouth to help keep the chill of the winter's air out of his lungs, something that was a bit detrimental in combat and something that these other people weren't really considering. Well, it wasn't Elim's problem if they died, but then again it also could be since Elim didn't know how to pilot the Gummy Ship or whatever it was called.<br/><br/>""My name is Elim, that is all you need to know about me."" His voice was a tiny bit stifled by the scarf, but it was pretty clear what he said, and in the tone he said it the boy sounded as though he didn't want to be bothered with petty conversation as he continued to move forward with the others. ""Also I don't know if its the same here, but wintry regions like these tend to house more than just those Heartless creatures. We should also be on the lookout for wolves and any other form of arctic creature."" Elim was silently hoping that there would be no ice wyrms or other such deadly creatures here. He also hoped that this world didn't house any Frost Giants or even Elder Frost Elementals, since this was apparently a sorcery conjured ice storm. Elim figured as long as they didn't run into anything like that, then they would be fine."

The tall tree's made determining the time of day difficult, not to mention the heavy weather. Walking along the road his temporary halberd rested behind his neck on both shoulders. Both of his hands had a firm grip on the weapon, it wasn't too heavy but was becoming a nuisance to carry around due to it's large size. Kasus either underestimated his strength or overestimated how heavy the weapon would be. Either way he was tired of carrying the thing and missed his twin-blade.<br/><br/>Asking Hans to send out a search party once they return with the princesses didn't sound like a bad idea. He was probably going to offer some kind of reward anyways. Still the thought of asking the man for anything at all felt kind of funny after he had been so kind to them, Kasus scrunched his face, trying to think of a solution. Maybe if he explained to Jared how much personal value the weapon had he'd let him look for it himself.<br/><br/>""So ... I know this is kinda late but, if we are going to save a princess together and possibly die trying to I would at least like to know your names.""<br/><br/>Possibly die trying? Were they already facing such a life-threatening task? Well, technically dealing with these heartless is always life threatening, but still. All they had to do is find the two princesses and bring them home, that's pretty easy. It was just a really complex game of hide and seek when you think about it.<i>""Maybe Serene meant die from the cold? Oh! Hey! Serene! I know her name.""</i>Kasus wasn't sure how he knew the girl's name, but he did. He was almost positive she had introduced herself back in the Enterprise.<br/><br/>""You're right; it is kind of silly that we haven't exchanged names yet, I'm Simo. I don't really have much of an interesting tale to tell about my past, I'm pretty average. I grew up in a forest raised by my dad, where I learned how to hunt...and that's pretty much everything noteworthy about my life so far. Well, other then running into these strange Heartless creatures at that last world we were in, but you all know that story""<br/><br/>Kasus turned towards Simo almost mesmerized by his introduction. ""Growing up in a forest?!"" The word's practically jumped out of his mouth, ""That sounds absolutely interesting!"" He looked towards the ground as he walked, lost in the thought of living in a forest. Kasus woke up in the same boring room in the same boring store for almost a decade, the idea of living in a forest was almost unfathomable. He hadn't even seen snow before arriving to Quark, and had only ever seen trees in books and photo's. The entire world was other-worldly and the only thing keeping him from running off to explore was the urge to find the princesses so they could get back to the Enterprise and see more.<br/><br/>Kasus was about to ask Simo what types of animals he hunted in the forest, when the blue haired boy (or girl) spoke up unexpectedly. ""My name is Elim, that is all you need to know about me."" Great. He was hoping the name would clear up the gender issue Kasus was having, but even Elim sounded like it could be for both a boy and a girl. Not that it mattered, it was just bugging him. ""Also I don't know if its the same here, but wintry regions like these tend to house more than just those Heartless creatures. We should also be on the lookout for wolves and any other form of arctic creature."" Kasus frowned, upset he (or she) had already changed the subject before he could introduce himself.<br/><br/>Looking towards Elim with somewhat of a blank face, Kasus was curious what Elim's story was. He (or She) came off as some kind of mercenary or soldier and seemed to be completely serious the whole time since Kasus met him (or her) earlier in the day. Granted, none of the others had said much, including himself, but still, Elim gave off a no nonsense attitude and it was rather intimidating. ""Arctic Creature?"" Kasus asked, ""Like, a snowman or something?""<br/><br/>He turned his attention to their leader. ""Hey Jared, do you know where we're going? I can't see any mountains,"""
10306,Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18150-kingdom-hearts-darkness-reborn,['Casual'],2014-08-14 07:38:00,Renose,"Snow... man? Sounded like some type of frost golem if one would ask Elim. A man made out of snow? Seemed like a completely childish name. Frost Elemental or even Frost or Snow Golem sounded alot more probable than a human being made out of snow. Perhaps though this Kasus, not that he had said his name yet unless Elim hadn't been paying attention, was either more of a fool or more well knowledgeable than he thought. ""If you're referring to Frost Elementals or even Frost Golems when you say..."" Elim paused for a moment, the term itself sounding ridiculous. ""Snow man... then yes, that is exactly what I mean."" Others may have thought of the snowman thing as a joke, but the blue haired adventurer was not one for jokes.<br/><br/>""If we do face one, I hope you all know how to conjure Fire. Otherwise, you'll all be dead."" That was the last Elim said on that matter before taking the lead, walking ahead of the rest a few yards, sword always at the ready as they trekked. Even if Jared was their ""leader"" because of his powerful Keyblade, Elim still decided that it would be best if he take lead, or didn't really decide but just did so naturally, knowing how to move more quickly in this snowy environment since it was just like home to him, or more accurately far north of his home where he spent several very long years of his life chasing after people whose carcasses he wanted to feed to bears. But still... ""home"" nonetheless."
10307,Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18150-kingdom-hearts-darkness-reborn,['Casual'],2014-08-19 03:43:00,Double,"""Er, that's not exactly what he meant..."" Jared said to Elim, grinning despite himself at the boy's apparent lack of knowledge of snowmen, ""Snowmen are... well, kids sort of build them out of snow, then use coal and carrots to give it a face, then finally giving it a scarf and hat so it appears more human. It's just harmless fun, really. No danger or fighting involved."" his explanation of snowmen was basic as can be, but still served its purpose. He was walking by this point, watching Elim move further ahead. Why was he even acting as the de facto leader? Was it the Keyblade? His ability to fly the ship? He didn't really know, but somehow he just ended up in the role, and for now just went with it.<br/><br/>He had to admit that Serene made a good point. Here they were, thrust together into a perilous situation by the hand of fate, and they hadn't really introduced themselves yet. Fortunately, Simo and Kasus were quick to agree and remedied that by introducing themselves, while Elim did so with what Jared believed to be hesitation or reluctance. Still, it seemed he was the only one now who had to talk about himself, ""I'm Jared,"" he finally said, ""and the old man who saved us back in Lunaris was Dion, he's my... well, I guess you could say he's like a foster father. He took me in after all, gave me a home when no one else would..."" his voice trailed slightly when he started thinking of the old man. How was he anyway? He'd said something about buying the others time to escape... did that mean he actually tried to fight those Judges?<br/><br/>Jared shook his head, wishing not to think about it decided instead to focus on finding that princess and queen, ""Well, according to Hans the princess went toward the mountains when she went after her sister, so I would think that's as good a place as any to start. I just hope those Heartless haven't got to her already."" having said that, he picked up the pace, starting to realize that both their targets may very well have fallen prey to the Heartless as the Prince nearly did, in which case he wanted to find them all the sooner. For now, the travel was uneventful, but by sundown the intrepid adventurers found themselves staring up at the frost covered mountain that overlooked the now-distant Arendelle.<br/><br/>""Well, no place to go but up, right?"" asked Jared, beginning to look around for some kind of path or at the very least a spot suitable for climbing. He hadn't elaborated about his past to the others, but back home he was quite an accomplished swimmer and climber, so finding a way to get up this blasted mountain would have to fall to his shoulders as he assumed he was the one with the most climbing experience."
10308,Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18150-kingdom-hearts-darkness-reborn,['Casual'],2014-08-19 05:16:00,Renose,"Elim didn't really get the point of spilling each others' pasts to one another. A name was all that was necessary. There was no need to be friends, Elim didn't really care much about this whole judge predicament or whatever else was going on. He was only here because he got dragged into this, and the only reason he is sticking around these people is because they seem to know much more about world travel than he did. Still, despite them knowing more about world travel, they sure didn't know much about wilderness travel. Just what was this world like where these people grew up to the point where they could be so decadent?<br/><br/>Elim heaved a heavy shy and shook his head. ""I hate to be the one to get us off track, but as we are now we will die if we go up there. We need food, water, and other such things. While water may be accessible from melting snow or the usage of Ice magic, we still need food. We should either find a town or start hunting for whatever sort of creatures that are around here. We'll just be heading straight into death's maw if we try to climb a mountain with no food in our system. As urgent as it is to complete our goal, we won't even be able to save the snow at our feet if we walk up there unprepared"".<br/><br/>Elim had a couple days rations in his pack upon his back, but they were small, and split among four people would maybe last a single day, if they ate smaller portions even. That wasn't necessarily helpful. ""I have a little food with me, but it's barely anything. We'll need more if we want to survive up there. If we could get some horses as well that could help, assuming that they even have such creatures in this world..."" Elim just shook his head, wondering why they were even doing this again, or at least why the Prince didn't give them more to help them on their quest. Not that Elim would ask lest be rude to royalty and be executed for it, but still, according to his own assumptions, they were woefully unprepared for a snowy mountain climb."
10309,Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18150-kingdom-hearts-darkness-reborn,['Casual'],2014-08-21 05:58:00,Thundercat,"Elementals? Golems? Kasus was either in over his head when it came to snow and forests or Elim came from a world more interesting than he had previously thought. Even with a substantial knowledge of different winter creatures and such, the boy's reaction to the word snowman was surprising. He almost appeared baffled. Kasus grinned slightly as Jared spoke up on the matter. He looked back and forth between Jared and Elim, watching with delight as an actual explanation of a snowman was unfolding. Than again, he didn't know what elementals or golems were, so maybe lacking knowledge in snowmen wasn't too surprising. Elim declared that the ability to conjure fire would be mandatory, then walked off ahead of the group. Kasus gripped his halberd, placing the weapon behind his back as he grasped it from behind with both hands before squinting his eyes at the blue haired warrior, curious as to why he seemed so serious.<br/><br/>Jared began to introduce himself. Kasus listened curiously and was glad to hear he wasn't the only one in the group from Lunaris. Even so he kept quiet. He purposely avoided introducing himself and it seemed that went by unnoticed. The others had such interesting backgrounds. Jared was raised by that old man that fought off the heartless so easily and saved Kasus', Elim was...well, he didn't know anything. But that in it's own way was interesting, it made him appear mysterious, a rouge warrior or something. Simo lived in the forest which was by far the funnest thing he could comprehend and Serene was in search of a lost loved one. Kasus almost felt out of place. What could he say to the others?<i>""Hello, I was born on Lunaris and one day i'm going to inherit a general store,""</i><br/><br/>How boring.<br/><br/>Jared brought up Hans' instructions, they were to head towards the mountains. Not much to go off of, but there weren't many options. The excitement of exploring a new world was slowly being numbed by the blistering cold of Arendelle. Kasus wrapped his halberd around himself using a strap and zipped his coat up. He breathed out slowly and his eyes shot open at the sight of his own breath. He wasn't aware at certain temperatures one could see there own breathing and was somewhat fascinated at the sight of it. This kept him entertained briefly but soon the cold became a burden once more. As beautiful and interesting winter is, it would take some getting used too. Kasus walked beside Jared as the group progressed.<br/><br/>Eventually, a frost covered mountain towered over them. To his dismay Jared recommended going straight up. Thankfully, Elim proposed that they gather supplies beforehand.<br/>""Horses would be neat,"" Kasus exclaimed, ""But, wouldn't we have to buy them or something? Do we have money for that? Or even anything to trade,"" Kasus gave a look of disappointment, if he had a chance to pack some belongings on Lunaris before being rushed into space, he'd have plenty of odds and trinkets that could be traded. He knew some salesmen even accepted hanging onto collateral, but he would have nothing to give. Sadly all he has are the clothes on his back.<br/><br/>Kasus' stomach unfortunately began to rumble, he hadn't a chance to eat breakfast this morning, with all the heartless and all. ""Food isn't a bad idea either,"" he muttered, clutching his belly."

She stayed quite until they had some how come upon the subject of snowmen. She had never heard of that word. She tried to wrap her head around it. S.. N... O.. W.. Man? What a peculiar name. She though to her self as the began to speak. As Serene's head began to bang loud thunderous bangs she looked around and nothing was amiss. They where talking about stuff to trade. The banging became louder and before she knew it she was having another memory. There she was in a desert land. There in front of her was a giantict cloud of sand. She started to run but it was difficult to move almost as if it was heavy. She looked down in her hands and there was a ruby the size of a flat baseball. She quickly came to the present. She fell to the ground and knew where she had put the ruby. She emptied the continents of her out bag and tore open the seems there in the bottom of her bag was the ruby in all it's shiny glory. She said pleased with her self I don't think that will be a problem.

Of course I'm used to hunting and tracking in a forest...but I'm sure that doing it in a snowy landscape won't take too much adjusting to"". So far, the biggest change that he had to deal with was the cold. However Simo was already so energetic that he was able to stave off the chilling winds. ""I wouldn't even mind doing it either; It'll give me an excuse to explore this place a little. I wonder what kind of creatures are in this place, and what they taste like"" he mused. ""Maybe I could even find something big enough that we could we could make some climbing gear out of it's bones. I'll admit, I've never made something designed to help climb a mountain, but I can't imagine that it would be too different from tree climbing equipment"""

So that leaves us with the million munny question. How should we manage what little time we can spare?"" he scratched his head a bit in thought, it was quite a conundrum and such things were not exactly his strong point. Still, both he and Elim made valid points which meant they had to be smart about how to use their time. Simo offered to do some hunting and in response Jared shrugged, ""I guess that's a start, though I'd feel better if you took someone with you so you're not completely alone out there.""<br/><br/>Suddenly a scream could be heard coming from down the mountain, followed by barks that sounded like they were getting closer.<br/><br/>Jared whirled around to face where the sound came from, now hearing the sound of things running through the snow. Then, all at once, a<a href=""http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140413212640/disney/images/d/d4/Kristoff%27s_Sled.jpg"">reindeer sped past, pulling a sled behind him</a>. The sled had riders; a young man, a young woman, and a... snowman? In any case, Jared had to dive to side to avoid being run over. The guy driving the sled only saw him at the last moment, and tried in vain to yank on the reins, causing the reindeer to veer sharply off course, the sled sharply turning with it and then rolling over in the snow. But that was the least of everyone's problems. The sled was currently being chased, and its pursuers had now caught up and surround everyone. They looked like<a href=""http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/239/4/c/heartless_wolf_by_kibathemonster-d5cnu7j.png"">wolves</a>with pitch black fur. Jared staggered to his feet and finally noticed the creatures himself. Something was... off about these wolves. They didn't seem... natural. Of course, when they got closer and revealed their glowing yellow eyes, Jared nearly jumped, calling the Keyblade to his hand in sharp alarm.<br/><br/>""Heartless!"" he exclaimed sharply, barking a warning to his friends. Seemed it was time for yet another battle. No rest for the wicked, as they say.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVird8SwWgA"">Cue Music</a>"
10313,Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18150-kingdom-hearts-darkness-reborn,['Casual'],2014-08-29 01:45:00,Renose,"It seemed like Jared agreed with the fact that they should prepare. Of course, they would have to be swift in their preparations or the Princess could die before they got there. Before Elim could interject though, barking could be heard. Very familiar barking. Elim had heard the sound of that form of barking before. Wolves. Or so Elim assumed anyway. Regardless of what they were, Elim was quick to draw his blade, focusing for just a moment before, in a small blue flash of light, the sword was now a short spear, Elim holding the weapon at the ready. ""Wolves most likely... ready yourselves...""<br/><br/>Then a sled came by, Elim recognizing this type of vehicle. The young man and woman, both normal humans. The third passenger of the sleigh made Elim raise an eyebrow and stare for a moment. An Ice Elemental or Construct of some sort? Here? Still, its small size and somewhat... strange appearance made Elim ignore it for now. He could investigate it later, for now they had some wolves to worry about. ""Heartless that take the form of wolves? These creatures are full of surprises...still, it should make a decent warm up.""<br/><br/>With that, Elim charged forward, spear in hand. Swords were good weapons, but the best type of weapon against most four legged beasts was a spear, something that could be used to keep the sharp fangs and talons at a distance. First, with a single arcane word, he let out a burst of flame from his palm towards the group of wolves, aiming for the one in the front. After the burst he lunged forward, gritting his teeth and planting his feet down as he aimed to plant his spear into the wolf with as much force as he could muster to try and destroy the beast."
10314,Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18150-kingdom-hearts-darkness-reborn,['Casual'],2014-08-29 07:03:00,Thundercat,"""I'll go with him!"" Kasus exclaimed regarding Simo's hunting partner. He had never hunted anything in his life and wanted to see as much of the forest as possible, despite the freezing temperature. ""What kind of animals can we hunt? Squirrels? Deer?"" The idea of hunting was exciting for Kasus. He had only seen wildlife in books and photographs given to him by traveling merchants that would visit the shop. He longed to feel the touch of an animals fur, however it hadn't really occurred to him that they would be killing any wildlife they found so they wouldn't starve.<br/><br/>There was no time for anyone to reply to the question. A scream could suddenly be heard in the distance, along with some kind of indistinguishable yet aggressive sound. Elim claimed it was wolves, which was the moment Kasus pieced together the fact that the sound was barking. Something he had never heard before. Part of him was excited to meet the furry creatures, but the look on Elim's face made him think otherwise. Kasus opened his mouth to ask a question when almost immediately a sled came from practically nowhere, almost running the group over in it's path. Kasus dove for the snow for the second time today, regretting his decision as his face and chest stung from the cold. The sound of the sled crashing could be heard along with the wolves that were now surrounding the group. Kasus picked his head up from the snow, appalled at the sight of the not so furry and friendly creatures.<br/><br/>""Heartless!"" Jared shouted, and almost on instinct Kasus grabbed his weapon from the snow and jumped to his feet, taking a moment to balance himself before holding a defensive stance. He was barely used to combat at all, not to mention he had zero experience with his current weapon and he was freezing cold.<br/><br/>During the commotion Elim had garnered some of the wolves attention with his attack and Kasus quickly tried to take advantage of the distraction, sprinting towards a heartless before swinging his halberd at the creature. Unfortunately, his attack was too slow, and the wolf too quick. The monster hopped away from Kasus and immediately leaped back towards him, tackling the boy to the ground followed with a ferocious growl. It was quickly going for the kill. The only thing keeping the wolves teeth from ripping a chunk from Kasus' neck was the halberd that he gripped onto for dear life, he had managed to lodge the weapon into the wolves mouth while being tackled. Saliva dripped from the creature's teeth, he could feel it's hot breath inches from his face and grimaced in disgust. This wasn't how he pictured meeting wildlife would be like at all.<br/><br/>Pulling his legs inwards, he shoved his shoes into the wolves stomach, kicking the heartless off of himself before jumping to his feet. During the scuffle his jacket had been ripped off, the only winter attire he had with him now lay on the floor and there was no time to put it back on. The boy was already fatigued and began to catch his breath, his body and mind couldn't handle the weather, nor the vicious creature before him that now began to circle around his position ready to finish the boy off. Kasus had never experienced anything like this. To his dismay another wolf decided to join in on the meal and began to circle Kasus as well. He gripped his halberd, taking a defensive once more, preparing himself for the onslaught.<br/><br/><i>""Oh god, oh god, oh god!""</i><br/><br/>The two heartless sprinted at the boy simultaneously. Kasus quickly made the decision to focus his counter attack on one enemy, rather than trying to take them both out at the same time. He sprinted towards the heartless that had initially attacked him and leaped into the air. Halberd in both hands Kasus slammed the weapon down onto the creatures head, sending it face-first into the snow. Immediately after this attack the other wolf collided into Kasus from behind. He and the wolf spun midair before landing in the snow. By chance Kasus landed on top of the wolf which was disoriented from the collision leaving it wide open for the killing blow.<br/><br/>It took almost all of Kasus' energy to lift his halberd into the air and plunge it directly into the wolf's side, causing the creature to combust into darkness. The halberd remained stuck in the snow. Kasus sat on his knees, gripping the weapon for support as the rest of his allies continued to fight around him. He was breathing heavily, a sharp pain could be felt throughout his right shoulder. It was hard to see with all the snow, he could hardly breath, he was shivering violently and his shoulder ached in pain, not to mention the battle raging on in front of him. Kasus had never so badly wished to be home.<br/><br/>For the first time in his life, he was afraid to die.<br/><br/>His stomach twisted in fear as the heartless from earlier recovered from it's attack and rose from the snow, growling in anger, it's shiny yellow eyes set on Kasus. The animal sprinted towards Kasus who began to pull himself up using his weapon as support, watching his inevitable death sprint towards him. His mind was racing and he wanted to collapse, he couldn't find the energy to defend himself anymore. In desperation, Kasus shouted,<br/><br/><i><b>""Jared! Elim! Simo! Serene! Help! Please help me!""</b></i>"

Before Serene could speak aloud about the good news Jared and Elim where arguing about wasting time. But in fact standing here fusing about it was wasting time. At least thats how Serene though about it. She was quickly reminded about home. Her brothers would fight and argue all the time. She was comforted at the thought and smiled as pain for home was brought to her. She laughed that she was happy to be home sick. She was remembering more and more. It brought peace to her.<br/>While she listed to the group the thought came to her that must have been taught by her two brothers to fight. Ha ha. She was so happy right now! But that did not last long. As she looked down the hill there was a something coming up it. She though to her self why didn't we get on of those? As it came quickly up the mountain she saw three passengers aboard a man, a girl and what she presumed to be a snow man. Then what followed them were there new worst enemies the heartless. She quickly got up. Fists ready. Her weapon was out of the question. She lost them in the snow earlier.<br/>Serene was quickly surrounded. Flame came off of her hands and up her arms. She felt stronger from the last battle but not strong enough to fight them. Each hit took a lot out of her. But these new found memories brought her anew and she had a new family to fight for. She looked around her as she fought and saw Kasus struggling. She was surrounded also. She quickly fought with more power.<br/>These creatures where tough. She finally knocked one out with what felt like the hundredth blow and created an opening for her to escape. It took longer than she had hope but she quickly ran to Kasus. As she did he yelled out for the group. She was the first to arrive. She Ariel jumped the one closet to him taking the attention off him and on to her."

A few of the monster wolfs were off to the side of the pack, allowing him to take easy shots at them without worry of hitting anyone else. While one managed to survive a shot to the head, a quick Gravity spell crushed it, already weakened from the bullet to the skull. As he looked for his next target he heard one of his companions cry out for help, Kasus if he remembered correctly. Taking aim, he shot one of the heartless attacking him in the side of the head, and pinned the other down with Gravity. Neither died, but it left Kasus free(er) to move ""get out of there!"""

His Fire Spell keeping at least one of the beasts from lunging before lunging at it himself with a spear, killing it with a single skewer. Serene and Simo seemed to fare well more or less, Simo managing to kill one at about the same time Elim killed his first opponent. Kasus, though, was another story. After struggling with a single beast he was suddenly being stalked by two of them and cried out for help as he attacked one of them. Jared wanted to help, but had problems of his own. Ten of these beasts had appeared in total, and with two of them now dead that left eight. Two of those were now focusing on Elim, while another two of them were the ones now surrounding Kasus. Serene had managed to kill one attacking her before going to help Kasus, all in all that left three that had yet to act.<br/><br/>Those three were circling in on Jared, having singled him out as the Keybearer and, as such, the largest threat to their existence. Jared could fight off single opponents well enough, but three at once was like an entirely different thing altogether. One of the beasts moved to pounce Jared, him managing to step aside enough to avoid the fangs and swing his blade through the beast's torso. The attack sent it back a bit and it reeled from being struck by the Keyblade, but it wasn't dead yet. The other two chose that time to strike, one lunging high for Jared's neck while the other went low, for his legs at a separate angle. Knowing it was impossible to counter both Heartless, Jared brought his weapon to bare against the one going for his neck, the beast instead biting the blade of his weapon. As quickly as possible, Jared pushed forward as hard as he could, hoping to push back his attacker while simultaneously moving out of the way of the other. It succeeded... somewhat. Jared wasn't able to completely avoid the second Heartless, and it was able to catch his leg with it's claw as he pushed forward into the other, which was successfully thrown back to the ground. The beast that pounced first had now regained composure and made to attack again, but would never reach its intended target.<br/><br/>""Hyaaah!"" came a shout as the beast found itself sent crashing back into the snow. The man who was driving the sled was standing there with a pickaxe normally used for mining ice, but at that moment was used as a makeshift weapon. Caught completely by surprise, the beast was slain by that attack, leaving the other two facing a now-more-confident Jared.<br/><br/>Keyblade in hand, he lunged forth with great speed, with his weapon thrust forward in the process. This attack cut through one of the Heartless, but he was not finished. He repeated this attack four more times, twice on each creature, slaying them both with his newly learned Sonic Blade technique. The girl by that point had unhitched the reindeer from the sled, allowing to run forward in a charge against the nearest Heartless in an attempt to gore them on his antlers or at least trample them with its hooves. Even the funny-looking snowman decided to try helping, though admittedly the best he could do was continuously lob snowballs at Heartless, though he did at least aim for the eyes to try and blind them momentarily for others come in and attack them."

This wasn't looking good. Four were fighting with Kasus and Serene and three were on Jared. This wasn't looking good at all. Sure Elim could handle himself, but the others maybe not so much. Well, maybe not Kasus anyway. As Jared fought his three, getting aid from a reindeer, a man with a pick axe, and the small Frost Golem Elim was fighting two of them by himself. The Spear did indeed seem to be the best weapon to use on four legged beasts, but now two were around him, one behind and one in front.<br/><br/>It took a couple of moments to transform his weapon as he thought of trying for a weapon that could deal with flanking opponents, precious moments he didn't want to waste whilst surrounded by two opponents, wolves especially. So instead he tried for a different approach. With an arcane word chanted, flames suddenly burst to life around his spear, licking and moving about the surface. After that, Elim began to spin the spear quickly, in a few moments having what appeared to be a ring of fire in his hands as he span the spear quickly, the wolves seemed to back up at first.<br/><br/>Unfortunately these were not normal beasts and thus not afraid of fire. They were more likely just looking for an opening as soon both of them lunged. Just what Elim was waiting for. He ducked low, spinning the spear above his head. The flame covered spear-head slashed one wolf as the other was slammed by the end of it as he ducked beneath their lunges, essentially focusing on counterattacks for now as both wolves fell backwards. He took this moment and, with his own lunge, stabbed the wolf that got slashed by the flaming spear head first, plunging the spear deep in as it vanished in the same eldritch, as Elim didn't know what it was, mist that the other Heartless vanished in.<br/><br/>There was a neat benefit to not having to worry about a corpse. While yes, no meat or pelts could be salvaged, in combat he didn't have to worry about pulling his spear from the carcass, which was useful as the other wolf had quickly regained its balance and tried to lunge for Elim's throat now. Unfortunately it did not work. Elim held up his spear to parry, the creature biting upon it now, but being forced back as the fire on his spear burned the creature when it bit. A swift kick to the side of its head knocked it backwards a small bit and let Elim use the momentum of the kick to spin and plant the kicking foot on the ground behind him.<br/><br/>This gave the blue magus enough distance that, with a shout, allowed him to plunge the spear straight into the creature's head at a diagonal angle, the spear sticking right through it and into the ground. It had been a close call, Elim nearly getting hit, but he had a good amount of experience fighting wolves before, as they were pretty common in the wilds of his world. He wondered though, if they went to other worlds, how long he could use that card with things being like his own world. Well... he could cross that bridge when they came to it. For now, there were six more wolves to deal with."

He was waiting for death, but Serene came in it's place, attacking the heartless that was charging towards him and gaining it's attention. The sound of a gunshot snapped Kasus out of his helpless state. His eyes shot open, revealing a heartless being pinned down by Simo's Gravity. ""Get out of there!"" he shouted. Every part of Kasus was screaming for him to run away, but he couldn't. Well, he could, but he refused too. They were still outnumbered, if he made for the hills now it would only benefit their enemy. Instead of running away from the heartless in front of him Kasus forced his weak limbs to sprint towards the wolf. However it wasn't really sprint, more of an awkward jog.<br/><br/>Thanks to Simo's bullet as well as his Gravity spell, the heartless was pinned down and even more helpless than Kasus at the moment, who took full advantage of the situation by stomping on the beasts neck and impaling it's neck with his halberd, causing the creature to combust into a dark essence before fading into nothing. The only reason was able to take out that heartless was with Simo's help, no doubt if he faced one head on by himself, the creature would pick the boy off with ease. Kasus made for the crashed sled, limping in his sprint. He had managed to catch the eye of what appeared to be a snowman. In any other context he would've laughed and imagined Elim's reaction to the thing. The irony was very humorous, but now wasn't at all the time for laughter or jokes.<br/><br/>Kasus dove behind the sled regrettably into the snow once more. He landed on his aching shoulder which seemed to be injured, thankfully it was his left arm and not his right. He took a brief moment to collect his bearings as he lay behind cover, grunting as his breathing was heavy and his lungs ice cold. Eventually he grabbed onto the sled and pulled himself up, observing the battlefield. The wolf Serene attacked, thus saving Kasus, was now circling the girl attempting to attack. The boy climbed onto the sled, holding his weapon in his left hand.<i>""Fire!""</i>he shouted as he slammed his left and right hands together, engulfing his weapon into flames.<br/><br/>Briefly he took a moment to remember the days on Lunaris he spent learning this magic spell. He was suddenly grateful for the wizard that visited his shop and gifted him the spell-book for free. Never could he have imagined this was how he'd be using that knowledge. Kasus gripped his fire weapon in his right hand, using all of his strength to launch it into the air as if it were a javelin. The halberd was designed to be a two-handed weapon but Kasus was using it as if it were a spear. A grin of accomplishment overcame the boy's face as the makeshift spear plunged into the heartless that had been circling Serene.<br/><br/>Four more to go."

Serene jumped into the air the fire from her hands had helped in the fight. Each time she fought she felt stronger. Serene had pinned another one down getting ready to strike at its heart as the pain of another memory came back. She was in a elaborate room and there a the center stood the ruby she had seen earlier. She picked it up and as she did she could see guards coming her way as the yelled ""Capture her."" She ran with ruby in hand and jumped out the window weaving through the crowd. She had taken a turn and lost them. She carefully sat the jewel in her bag and quickly changed her clothes and to blended into the crowd but as she was about to walk out in to the crowd a voice said. ""Well aren't you a sight to see."" Serene quickly looked around and saw a man standing there. She came to the present. It was always so abrupt and took her off guard. The heartless had end up on top of her this time. Its teeth growling at her. She closed her eyes and was about to kick it off when the man with the pick came and hit it dead center. Serene sighed in relief. Serene had gotten up with help from the man. She thanked him and went to go help her comrades. There was only two now."

Simo had been watching them carefully this entire battle, trying to get a feel for how they fought, and how to fight them. While he was admittedly far more used to hunting things several times his size, he felt that he could adjust to the huge (ha! Bad pun) change in size. The last two were staring down the group, with one behind the other. It was at that point, that Simo got a wonderful idea. Casting Gravity on both of them, he dropped to a kneeling position.<br/><br/>One thing that Simo noticed is that they were surprisingly fragile; not every attack he saw them hit with looked like it it would outright kill a normal creature. Sure, most of those attacks would maim or cripple them...but they shouldn't have been killed so fast. Not only that, but the way they just disintegrated...it was almost like they were just some weirdly shaped bubbles, and if that was the case, then a clean hit anywhere would be enough to destroy them (since the word 'kill' didn't feel quite right in this case). As his spell wore off, the two heartless began to get back up, and the first things to rise were their heads...which is just what Simo was counting on. Having already aimed at the spot they were most likely to reach, he was all ready to fire. Pulling the trigger, the bullet shot out of the gun and into the very top of the first heartless' skull, where it met very little resistance. Normally the rest of the body would slow it down, however the heartless quickly popped, leaving the bullet impeded as it made it's way to it's final target. The bullet impacted and entered the skull of the second heartless, delivering another fatal blow. After they had both been dealt with, Simo got back to his feet and wooped ""awesome! Double kill!"""

Heartless had always been attracted to the strong of heart, and it was those with the strongest hearts who were oft chosen to wield the Keyblade. So Jared's joking remark was shockingly on the mark without his knowing it at the time.<br/><br/>""Um..."" started an unfamiliar voice. It was<a href=""http://www3.images.coolspotters.com/photos/1114786/disney-princess-anna-profile.jpg"">the girl</a>who had been riding in the sled, ""...who exactly are you guys?"" she had a curious, but skeptical tone about her.<br/><br/>""We're no one... really,"" answered Jared, now approaching the sandy-haired redhead, ""you know... just passing through and all that, and thought we'd offer to help find you... Your Highness."" at the last part he gave a quick bow to the girl he was now certain was the lost Princess Anna.<br/><br/>""How did you-?"" the Princess began to ask, but she was cut off by the<a href=""http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140323160946/disney/images/2/29/Kristoff_2013.png"">blond man</a>who had driven their sled.<br/><br/>""Uh huh..."" he said skeptically, ""...'Just passing through'? Yeah, right. How do I know you're not some kind of bandit gang looking to make quick money on a ransom or something?"" as he talked, he was quick to put himself between the Princess and their others as if he were some kind of bodyguard.<br/><br/>""Kristoff!"" snapped the Princess, very quickly coming out from behind him and having no intention of playing damsel in distress, ""They just saved us from those...<i>things</i>, and your way of thanking them is by accusing them of being bandits? Geez, did you have to practice to attain such rudeness or does it just come naturally to you?""<br/><br/>""Hey, I was just-""<br/><br/>""Actually,"" Jared said, ""we're here because Prince Hans requested it.""<br/><br/>""There, see?"" said Anna to Kristoff with a huff, ""They're here because my beloved Hans was worried about me and sent a search party. I told you he loves me!""<br/><br/>""Again with that?"" protested Kristoff, ""Look, all I said was I thought it was kind of silly to want to marry a guy you just met. Would you let it go already?""<br/><br/>""Er, anyway,"" Jared said, desperate to change the subject, ""I'm Jared. This is Elim, Kasus, Serene, and Simo."" he gestured to each of his friends as he introduced them, ""Since we found you, Your Majesty, I must insist that you come with us. I promised to bring you home safely after all.""<br/><br/>""Not without my sister."" Anna replied quickly, ""I'm not going home without her, and you can't make me.""<br/><br/>""I never said that, Your Majesty, I simply said I wished for you to stay with us... so we could find her together.""<br/><br/>""Oh, in that case, Kristoff and I were just about to head up this mountain. We'd be delighted if you came with us. Right?"" she elbowed Kristoff in his side as she said the last part.<br/><br/>""Uh... right. Sure. Why not?"" he said with a shrug and started digging various things out of the sled, ""Here, we'll need some of this stuff to make it up. I've got a climbing kit and some rations on me, let's just hope that'll be enough. Now, if everyone could just follow me, we've got a mountain to climb.""<hr/>Meanwhile, back in Arendelle, Hans was sitting at the table, about to partake in a bowl of stew when a servant came bursting in, ""M'lord, something's happened!"" he announced, urgency in his tone. Hans put down his spoon and looked expectantly at the servant.<br/><br/>""Well, what is it?"" he asked, trying to keep composed but a small bit of impatience trickled through.<br/><br/>""It's Weselton, sir. He's gone! His men, too!""<br/><br/>""What? When?"" asked the Prince, genuinely surprised by this news.<br/><br/>""Hard to say. Their rooms appear to have not been slept in, though. And a few horses from the stable are also missing.""<br/><br/>""I only spoke to Weselton last night after the incident, he must have departed during the night while we slept."" deduced the Prince, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. The<a href=""http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130731012348/villains/images/a/a8/The_Duke_of_Weselton.png"">Duke of Weselton</a>had acted most alarmed at the Queen's show of... power... at the incident. As Hans recalled, he insisted that she must be an evil witch and that they should hunt her down before she could cause any more damage. Hans had tried to reason with the man, but it seemed diplomacy was not enough to sway him from his intentions.<br/><br/>""Should I raise the alarm, sir? Shouldn't we go after him?"" asked the Servant.<br/><br/>""No."" said Hans coldly, ""If Weselton is truly hellbent on going through with his foolish plan, then he should suffer the consequences for it.""<br/><br/>""M'lord, what of the party you sent? Should they encounter Weselton there could be-"" he was stopped by Hans raising a hand.<br/><br/>""There will be no need. If Thatch and his group encounter Weselton then chances are good they will set him straight... or at the very least stop him.""<br/><br/>""Then... what should we do, sir?""<br/><br/>Hans shook his head, ""What we've done from the start. We wait."" and with that, he sent the servant away with a wave of his hand.<br/><br/>No alarms were sounded, no news or word spread about what had happened. As far as Arendelle was concerned, the Queen and Princess were still missing, and Hans would be the one they would have to turn to in their absence."

That spear he was clenching with a vice like grip in his hands would have moved towards Kristoff, had the girl he tried to shield came forward and reprimand him for calling them bandits. Elim just said nothing and turned away even as Jared introduced them all, still pissed off at Kristoff for calling them bandits, something that was definitely a way to get on Elim's despite list.<br/><br/>First the blue mage transformed his spear back into a sword, the weapon glowing as he did so, before putting it back in its sheath and then walking over to Kasus. After looking up at him, as Elim was kinda short due to both his age and... well... another reason, for a few moments suddenly he would slap Kasus right across the face, hard enough to leave a mark. It wasn't one of anger, but more like one to get the next thing across that Elim had to say. ""If you're gonna act weak and hold us all back, then go back to the ship before one of us who can actually fight gets killed trying to protect you. And let me tell you something..."", his eyes narrowed a little bit as he said this before paused, his tone growing a bit quieter as he continued to speak ""that person definitely won't be me.""<br/><br/>Elim had his own problems, his own worries to deal with. He wasn't going to waste time babysitting those who couldn't fight, those who would be better off staying as civilians. Those whose weaknesses would get them killed. After that rather very cold and harsh remark, Elim turned away from Kasus and walked a small bit away from the group and began to scan for a way up the mountain, deciding to leave the rest of the conversing to the others for now, Elim clearly not a people person what-so-ever."

Even though the area seemed to be clear of heartless he couldn't help but feel worrisome being in the forest. He quickly moved towards his friends, specifically Jared due to the fact that he was not only their leader but also wielded the keyblade. Simply being near someone who was worthy of the weapon eased the boy's cautious mind. By now the man and woman that had nearly plowed into the group began to speak up, Kasus breathed heavy as they began to exchange words with Jared.<br/><br/>""We're no one... really, you know... just passing through and all that, and thought we'd offer to help find you... Your Highness.""<br/><br/>""Wha..?"" Kasus was confused with his leaders words and thought it was silly to claim the first girl they met in the wilderness would be the princess. However the surprised expression on her face was proof enough that the assumption was correct. If it was even an assumption at all. Kasus laid his eyes on their leader, curious as to how he had figured it out so quickly. Maybe Hans had provided a description that flew over the boy's head, or maybe it was just a keen intuition. Either way their job was thankfully halfway done.<br/><br/>Fatigue from the battle quickly came over Kasus as a chill breeze reminded him how very cold he was. Briefly he searched for the jacket gifted to him by Hans, eventually spotting it lying in the snow. Slowly the boy made his way towards the clothing, flinching as he placed his arms through the freezing sleeves, even so he preferred cold clothing instead of none. He pondered casting his fire spell on the jacket to maybe warm it up some, however he didn't have the energy to cast magic at the moment, not to mention the fact he could risk destroying his only winter clothes.<br/><br/>As Kasus zipped up the coat he noticed Elim approaching him. At first glance he assumed the warrior was merely looking in his direction considering the fact they had never spoken a word to eachother directly, but as he came closer and closer the boy realized she was looking directly at him. ""Uh"" Was all he muttered before being struck by his comrade. The pain from the slap was hurt significantly more due to the cold, that combined with the fatigue of battle caused Kasus to reel back slightly, his eyes wide as saucers as he listened to Elim's words.<br/><br/>Discipline wasn't a feeling Kasus was familiar with, along with the fear of death and the longing for home. In less than an hour he had experienced all three of these feelings. As Elim turned and walked off and up the mountain Kasus plopped down onto the snow in disbelief. This was not the adventure he spent years dreaming for. Going back to the Gummi Ship sounded quite convincing. However, as the boy contemplated the idea he suddenly came to the dreadful realization that he could not return home. In the eyes of the Lunaris citizens, he was an outlaw. He had no home.<br/><br/>Kasus' cheek stung with a sharp pain, as did his heart."

While he had no way of knowing it, countless hero's across the many worlds suddenly felt a strange urge to scream out in frustration. 'However it seems that our work here isn't done yet. Now we have to find her sister...whoever that is.' It was just then that a thought occurred to him ""wait...is it<i>really</i>crazy to marry someone you just met?"" As he pondered this, he took note Elim slapping Kasus. While he felt that it was pretty harsh, he didn't want to feed the fire, so to speak. So he kept his thoughts to himself for the time being. He decided that he would address that problem at a later time, after everyone was calmer"

For now, he nodded his agreement with Kristoff and even helped him get some stuff out of the overturned sled, even taking the initiative to add some of the gear to his own so that Kristoff wouldn't be forced to carry everything. On a similar note, Jared also flagged his friends over had them carry a bit as well. After all, the more supplies they could carry away from the sled, the better. It was at about this time that the little snowman finally decided to come out of hiding, his sudden appearance even startling Jared, ""Hello,"" it said, staring at the group with wide eyes and naive smile, ""my name's Olaf. Anna and Elsa first made me when they were little girls, but earlier today Elsa made me again but used her powers to give me life. I found Anna after that and..."" at this point Jared realized that if he didn't say something the snowman would never shut up.<br/><br/>""Oh, OK. That's great."" he said with feigned interest, ""Speaking of Elsa, we better go find her now, right?"" this seemed to be enough to get the snowman to stop talking in favor of moving along, ""Phew... thought he'd never stop talking."" he muttered under his breath as the group now seemed ready to start up the mountain trail.<br/><br/>As they did so, Jared realized there were a couple of things he needed to take care of among his friends and chose now to do so. First he adjusted his pace to walk with Serene, ""Did you lose your nunchaku?"" he asked her suddenly, ""It's just, well I kind of noticed you weren't using them in the last fight..."" he paused, thinking of an idea and suddenly just gave his spear to her, ""...here, take mine for now. I'd feel better if you at least had something to use besides your fists."" and before she could have a chance to give it back or refuse, he went off on his own again.<br/><br/>Next up was Kasus. It was pretty apparent that the poor guy was feeling down, especially after his ""conversation"" with Elim, that term being used very loosely. And so, Jared decided to try saying something to help, ""Hey, don't listen to what he says."" Jared whispered, not really wanting Elim to hear and start an argument, ""I mean, we're all kind of new to this sort of thing. Heck, even Elim was a rookie at some point, even if he'd probably never admit it. If we just stick together it'll turn out okay, I'm sure of it."" with that, he was about leave but stopped himself, wanting to say one last thing, ""Oh, and next time let me know if you lose something so I can help you find it, OK?"" that last thing was referring to the swords Kasus lost back in the Kingdom, and as he walked away Jared made a note to himself to help Kasus find them before they left.<br/><br/>And finally, Jared saved the most difficult thing for last. He wasn't sure how he was going to do this, even as he approached Elim, but he knew he had to do something. The last thing he wanted was tension among his friends, and if that meant playing mediator then he'd just have to knuckle down and do just that, ""Hey,"" he said to Elim when he got to him, ""that was completely uncalled for you know."" there was no need to elaborate, it was pretty obvious what Jared was referring to, ""I don't know how long you've been on your own, but since you're with us you really should cut the Lone Wolf routine, and cut us a little slack while you're at it. Maybe you have a bit of experience with fighting, and if so, great. But the rest of us, myself included? If you think we should improve somehow then just say so, you don't have to go slapping someone and making a scene about it."" he was about to leave Elim to his thoughts when he added, ""One more thing. Since you're clearly the most experienced fighter, if you could maybe help us with some training, I think we'd all appreciate it.""<br/><br/>Maybe he could have sounded more stern, reminded Elim just whose ship they were riding on or something as a warning, but Jared chose not to. This wasn't some military squad where he needed to be a harsh drill instructor to keep everyone in line. They were just a group of kids who, thanks to a rotten twist of fate, were effectively stuck together and only really had each other to rely on. That meant they would all have to start by trusting each other."

Elim knew that until he obtained his own mode of transportation, he would have to travel with these people, there was no doubt about that. As for Elim not having time to babysit them, that wasn't the truth. He just didn't want to. There was no point if they were going to be weak enough to die, but then the thought of training them came up. There was strength in numbers, Elim knew this much. Numbers added to the strength of each person, as was how an army worked, however; if the units in an army were weak, then the army was weak. As much as Elim wanted to worry about his own training, being a part of a weak party probably wasn't the best plan.<br/><br/>Plus, he recalled something his Sensei once said.<br/><br/><i>""A teacher grows stronger when teaching his students. After all, being a teacher lets you reexamine everything you know and improve what needs to be improved to make it good enough to be taught. Plus, the teacher can always learn from a student.""</i><br/><br/>From the sound of it, being a teacher was a good way to improve ones combat skills. So before Jared could walk away, Elim spoke to him. ""Very well..."" He turned around to fully face Jared. ""I'll train all of you"". If it would help improve Elim's own ability, then he was up for it. ""Just beware that I won't make it easy on you. And if this training kills you, then you wouldn't have been able to handle the real world anyway. We can start once we take care of our business here.""<br/><br/>While Elim may have been exaggerating, his words held truth to them. If they couldn't handle tough training, then they couldn't handle tough opponents. Plain and simple. If they couldn't handle tough opponents then they would be better off sitting back away from the battle lest they die. After saying his agreement to training, not necessarily agreement to not be so distant, he soon decided to address something that had been on his hand for the past several minutes, walking over to the Ice Golem, or 'Snow Man' as it was apparently called, although this creature looked like no man. Maybe the face... but it looked like just a stack of rocks with legs in the bodily area. He guessed it could look like a human to a child's more imaginative eye.<br/><br/>Not aware that it could talk, Elim bent down and planned to pick it up by the head, but only picked up his head as he wasn't aware that it was in three pieces, almost being startled, but being more curious than anything, before looking at the Princess. ""Your highness, do you have any idea what sort of Sorcery, wicked or normal, created this weak looking Construct?"" Elim was a bit confused, wondering why someone would create such a weak looking construct. It seemed to have no combat value, which was one of the main reasons, other than needing a neat servant, that people made Constructs."

They should be supporting each other not tearing each other down. She felt so mad about this that she felt could melt the snow underneath her but like the other she did not say anything. She did not know what to say. Instead she walked up to Kasus and tapped him on the shoulder and smiled the friendliest smile she could muster. Hoping to comfort him. A the group stated to move along Serene stayed close to Kasus.<br/><br/>Jared had slowed his pace to what seemed like match hers she looked over at him a bit puzzled. He spoke. ""Did you lose your nunchaku?"" he asked her suddenly, ""It's just, well I kind of noticed you weren't using them in the last fight..."" he paused, Serene was surprised at how observant he was. She smiled and laughed because she did not know what else to. The next thing she knew Jared spoke up and said ""...here, take mine for now. I'd feel better if you at least had something to use besides your fists."" and before Serene could even responded Jared went off on his own again.<br/><br/>Serene was honored that Jared would give her his weapon, thought had come to her that a persons weapon was an extension of ones self and she walked a little higher. She cared the new possession as a cane in honor."

What he found odd about it was how calm it seemed. Back on Simo's home world, everything wanted you dead. All the wild animals seemed to have this insane addiction for human flesh. Hell, he had even seen creatures on his home world pause fight over...pretty much anything, to hunt down a nearby human that they had somehow noticed. Of course, that stopped bothering Simo when he was 6. That's when he learned how to hunt. It was then that he stopped being the potential victim, and started taking the fight to them. The fact the every non-sentient being on that planet was a complete and utter asshole made his first kill so much easier and guilt free.<br/><br/>Which is why this creature simply baffled Simo. This thing looked completely defenseless. It seemed to have flat teeth, which meant that it was an herbivore. Okay, fair enough. However being an herbivore didn't mean that it should be a wimp. It's horns looked like they might be able to provide some method of self defense. Although closer examination showed that they weren't anywhere near sharp enough to run someone through with. ""Just...what kind of creature is this?"""

Oh, that's Sven."" said Kristoff, approaching Simo and the elk, ""He's a reindeer,"" he then glanced around swiftly and added in a whisper, ""and if you ask me, he's way better company than most people I've ever met. Right, pal?"" he said the last bit while patting Sven on the neck, ""Yeah, we go way back, Sven and I. Practically grew up together. He's my best friend in the whole world.""<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Olaf the snowman giggled when someone picked up his head, ""H-hey, stop it. That tickles!"" when he put his head back on he gave it a good spin, causing it to make a full rotation before coming to a stop. The Princess herself also giggled at the antics of Olaf and then just shrugged at Elim's question.<br/><br/>""I don't know. I only just found out about her powers last night. As for Olaf,"" she gestured at Olaf, ""he was definitely not alive when we first made him as kids. So I honestly can't answer your question. Sorry.""<br/><br/>""Eh, it's probably not all that important anyway."" said, Jared, speaking up from his current position ahead of the others. As he walked, his arms were rested behind his head in a relaxed position, ""He's pretty friendly, so how evil could he possibly be, right?"" as he said this, he came to cliff edge and stopped, gazing forward in silent amazement, ""Whoa, check it out..."" was all he could say as he now pointed forward at the thing he was staring at. Across the cliff was the peak of a neighboring mountain, but that wasn't the amazing thing, not by a long shot. A crystal-like stairway of ice connected the peaks, and lead directly to what could only be described as an<a href=""http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140119050952/rise-of-the-brave-tangled-dragons/images/e/e0/D6ea49b2ecef6fb3f11cd3c20a609448.jpg"">palace of ice</a>, the setting sun giving it a reddish-pink shimmer as it sparkled like crystal.<br/><br/>Jared's wonder was cut short as he spotted something. Three unrecognizable figures crept into the palace. Evidently, they were not the only ones in search of the Queen, ""Someone's going inside! Come on!"" he told the others, and with that began running up the icy staircase. Surprisingly, it was not slippery at all, the weather being too cold for the ice to melt and become slick as a result."

Well Elim didn't really mind, he was mainly just curious. Olaf was still a bit of concern. Golems usually don't have emotions or possess the ability to speak. How was this construct acting as if it was alive, as if it had a soul? There was a bit of concern there, and as much as he wanted to get rid of that concern with a quick slash of his sword cloaked in Fire, he decided against it. He didn't seem like a threat for now, and the exact nature of whatever power created this creature was unclear. It could be something benevolent that placed a soul into it, so Elim wasn't going to attack based on an assumption.<br/><br/>So with that they continued onward, Elim remaining silent unless someone went to speak to him specifically. He felt like there wasn't anything he could contribute to any conversation that happened on the way. The blue mage continued to go up the mountain until he saw what Jared was looking at. ""Now that's some magic..."" Elim was a bit awe inspired by it. A palace entirely made of ice. Not unheard of in his own world, but still awe inspiring whenever it was seen. There wasn't much time to wonder though as three figures began to move into the palace.<br/><br/>""Good, some practice..."" Elim drew his blade and began to run up the stairs, moving very swiftly despite the armor he wore. Of course his armor only looked somewhat heavy, whether it actually was was a different story. He was glad that the stairs were not slippery, so this allowed him to run more quickly, not needing to be bothered with keeping his pace to avoid slipping. Once up the stairs and inside of the palace he changed his blade into a bow, an arrow of fire forming on it as he pulled back an invisible string, his eyes scanning the area for the figures or listening for any sounds as he was already moving on ahead, not taking into account that the others may not move as quick as he did. If they did then good for them, they could help out."

""I wonder how it was constructed? It looks so intricate that it must have taken a lot of attention to detail."" Then there was the stairs. Now while Simo didn't have much experience with ice, he was pretty sure that all ice was supposed to be slippery. Yet that ice had been as slick as stone. ""The other worlds really are filed with all kinds of wonders. I'm so glad I left home""<br/><br/>However he didn't get long to admire the structure before him, because a group of three strange beings crept into the building. Readying his weapon, he thought aloud ""I wonder if those are more of the Heartless things that we've been fighting. If they are, then what are they doing here? Are they after the Queen, and if so, then why? They don't seem intelligent enough to make full use of having a Queen for a prisoner...so then why?"""

Well, that certainly wasn't a good sign. The shouts belonged to men, though, so it was the figures who were in danger and not necessarily the Queen. That was good news... sort of. He personally preferred if no one died, to be honest, but at least the attackers were the ones getting what they deserved. When the palace doors swung open, Jared stopped. He had to dive to the side to avoid being trampled over by a short mustachioed man and his crossbow-armed pair bodyguards as they barreled outside and down the stairs. Of course, this being a narrow stairway, Jared didn't exactly have anywhere to dive to, so he had to quickly summon his Keyblade and jam it into the side of the ice just give himself something to hold on to.<br/><br/>He'd only just managed to climb back back up when something else burst from the doors. It was kind of like a snowman, only the size of an adult human, but snow and ice quickly gathered around it, piling on top of the thing until it became<a href=""http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140128224637/disney/images/0/02/Marshmallow_%28Frozen%29.png"">monstrous in size</a>. Jared blinked and instinctively ducked as the monster made a giant leap halfway down the stairs. As soon as it hit, the ice behind it cracked. Jared's eyes widened expectantly and he scrambled up the remainder of the steps as the stairs crumbled behind him. He reached the safety of the top, but realized he had no way of getting down to help his friends fight this giant.<br/><br/>""You guys get the Princess out of here!"" he shouted down to his friends, ""Don't worry about the Queen, just leave that to me!"" after that he turned and entered through the icy doors. Once inside, he saw broken pieces of glass all over the floor of what was likely an ante chamber of sorts, and he spotted a<a href=""http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140131115340/frozen/images/9/95/Elsa-Frozen.png"">lady in a blue dress</a>about to run away into another room, but she stopped when she heard the doors and turned to see Jared. Despite her eyes being teary and ready to cry, she had an angry look on her face.<br/><br/>""How many times do I have to tell you people to leave. Me. ALONE!"" on the last word she thrust out her hand and a snowy energy burst forth and flew right at Jared, who thrust his Keyblade up defensively, catching the icy magic onto the blade before fling it aside. This seemed to surprise the girl, ""What? What are you?""<br/><br/>""Wait, it's okay!"" Jared said, dismissing the Keyblade so he could be unarmed, ""I don't know what those three guys did, but I swear I'm not with them. I just want to take you home to the kingdom, that's all.""<br/><br/>""And just why should I believe you? And even if I did, what if I don't want to go back?"" she retorted coldly.<br/><br/>""You don't understand, I came here with - look out!"" Jared was interrupted and sprang forward, re-summoning the Keyblade and striking down a small Heartless that appeared behind the girl who could only be Queen Elsa.<br/><br/>""What did you - Ah!"" Elsa pointed to where Jared had stood. More Heartless appeared, mostly the same small black ones and small armored ones that had attacked Lunaris, ""What are they?""<br/><br/>""Heartless, Your Majesty."" responded Jared, putting himself between Elsa and the creatures, ""And it looks like they're blocking our only exit.

As if that wasn't bad enough, now they had a giant Frost Golem to deal with, or what looked like a beast made of snow more than anything. A smirk formed on Elim's expression. This would be easy enough. ""So this world does have Frost Golems after all... interesting"". Elim unsheathed his blade, the blade glowing as it once again transformed into a<a href=""http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140306023626/grandchase/pt-br/images/b/be/Glaive..png"">large Glaive.</a>A quick chant of the word<i>""Fire""</i>and the weapon's blade was engulfed in flames.<br/><br/>This creature looked a bit like that much smaller one, something made of snow rather than frost or ice. Whoever made this thing certainly chose a shitty material to compose it out of. It didn't matter how imposing this creature looked, a weapon of hot metal would slice through it like butter. Of course, that was if it was made of snow. If not, then just a fiery weapon would still deal more damage. ""You heard our 'leader', get her Highness out of here, ill take on this thing alone, the rest of you will only slow me down"". Elim still wasn't pulling punches. Sure he had agreed with Jared to help train them, but he hadn't had the chance to train them yet, and in his own eyes the way they were now would only just slow him down.<br/><br/>Deciding to test the waters and his theory about this beast, and not really caring about any responses the group had to Elim's demand for them to leave, Elim charged forward, weaving back and forth as carefully as he could, yet quickly to avoid any crushing fists, as he wasn't going to hold back, not that he ever did. Large monsters like this were usually somewhat slower, or at least their attacks were easier to predict. Not only that, but the legs. By taking out the legs this thing would undoubtedly be alot easier to vanquish. The legs first, then find the core of this thing and destroy it.<br/><br/>So after ducking low he ran, slashing the left leg when he got close with the fiery hot weapon, using the momentum of his first slash to slash the second leg. Elim wasn't going to stop there though. Gritting his teeth, he would keep up the assault on this creature's legs exclusively until the beast fell, as that was his first plan, and he wasn't going to stop until this thing was on the ground like a helpless beast, a small part of Elim hoping that this wouldn't be easy as normal magical logic dictated."

It might not even matter where I shoot it. That kind of sucks' Simo lamented to himself. While Elim seemed to be doing some damage against it, that was most likely because his weapon was now on fire...somehow. While this brought up the question of how a creature could even be alive (wait...was it?) without any kind of organs 'It's just snow and ice, how does it even function?' However Simo was brought out of his musings when he remembered that they were in the middle of a battle. So if he couldn't kill it by shooting at it, then that left him with very little options. He didn't see anything around that might be useful, so that ruled that out. Which left his magic<br/><br/>His only offensive spell was Gravity, so that's what he was stuck with. However, he was reminded of something his father once said; 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'. Which was something that Simo's past experience had proven true. Now however, things were a little different; now he had a magic spell that could make things heavier. The snow creature didn't look very nimble, so adding on some weight might really slow it down, and then there was Elim; It was obvious what he was doing. Striking the legs to make it fall. Now that was something that a weight increasing spell would help. ""Gravity!"" He targeted the beast's torso with his spell"

But Elim failed to take into account the fact the creature was made out of inanimate materials and therefore felt absolutely no pain or annoyance at the attacks. Sure, chunks of its legs were hacked to pieces but more simply reformed in its place, effectively regrowing the giant's lost ""flesh"", as it were. It roared, raising its big, clawed hand to swipe at Elim when it suddenly stopped. An invisible began holding it in place, and further still pushing it downwards. This was the result of Simo's spell, but there was an unexpected side effect. The giant, still standing on the ice bridge, became increasingly desperate as the magically enhanced weight caused cracks to start appearing on the lower half of the ice bridge. After only another moment there was the sound of a thousand windows being shattered as the ice platform gave out and crumbled beneath the giant. But it was still too early to celebrate.<br/><br/>The spell wore off in time for a small, red piece of ice to rocket upward and onto the summit of the mountain. It just floated there but only for a moment, as piles of snow and hunks of ice began rapidly gathering around it to form the shape of the giant. It stamped the ground, roaring once more to signify that it still had a ways to go before it would be defeated. In fact, as it roared it dug its claws into the snow and catapulted piles of the stuff forward in an attempt to bury Simo and Elim alive.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in the ice palace, Jared's Keyblade seemed to make quick work of the Shadow Heartless, but the Soldier variety proved more tenacious, taking multiple strikes from the blade to be defeated. Things weren't helped by the Shadows seemingly forming from the ground with no sign of an end. Jared had proven a capable fighter thus far, but he knew he wouldn't be able to keep this up forever, not while outnumbered and while trying to protect an unarmed Queen. Though Elsa wouldn't be counted out just yet, as she able to throw her icy magic at the Heartless, freezing many of them solid and leaving them helpless to Jared's blade.<br/><br/>""We can't keep this up!"" exclaimed Jared as he finished off a wave. No more appeared and he was momentarily relieved, but that relief was immediately washed away when a new type of Heartless appeared,<a href=""http://www.khwiki.com/images/thumb/d/d2/Air_Soldier_KH.png/250px-Air_Soldier_KH.png"">winged devils</a>with a<a href=""http://images.khinsider.com/Kingdom%20Hearts/Kingdom%20Hearts%201%20Renders/Heartless/Original/heartless22%20-%20air%20pirate.png"">stronger-looking one</a>apparently commanding them.

That wasn't the case here as the a red piece of ice suddenly shot up, ice and snow forming back around it, Elim smirking. That wasn't as fruitless as normal people would think. ""By revealing your weakness, you've sounded your death knell"". They just needed to get to that core and smash it, simple enough. Of course, first they had to deal with the sudden large piles of snow that was catapulted towards them in an attempt to bury them alive.<br/><br/>Elim wasn't going to be a sitting duck. He quickly charged forward, gritting his teeth as instead of trying to dodge the pile, he used a bit more magic to intensify the blaze over the entirety of his weapon, spinning it rapidly above his head. This ring of fire above Elim acted as a shield. Of course, it wasn't perfect, some bit of snow still bashing into Elim, but he gritted his teeth and pressed onward towards the creature, baring the assault of snow.<br/><br/>""Your attacks are soft, just like that shell around you!"" Elim cried this out loudly as once again, with a mighty spin of his weapon, he the fiery blade of the glaive slashed through the leg of the giant once again, but Elim wasn't going to give it a chance to regenerate. Instead of focusing damage onto both legs, he did it on one, making a second powerful cleave to cut the leg off completely, or so he hoped it would.<br/><br/>Either way, once the leg was off, the beast would have to drop to one knee, giving Elim time to get the other leg so that he could try and get on the creature's back after that."

With that taken care of, Simo was ready to start attacking. It seemed that his initial assessment about the creature was wrong; it did indeed have something that could be considered a 'vital'. Now while that was all well and good, he still wasn't quite sure where to aim. Simo knew quite a few creatures back on his home world that could shift around some of their vitals (except for the brain. That was something that always stayed where it was), so maybe this thing could too. Right now, it seemed that their best chance was to hack it open to find that red thing inside. While his weapon wasn't really fit for something like that, there was a way he could help; since he was going for the legs again, it was quite clear what Elim was trying to do. So while the creature was focused on him, Simo was free to hit it with another Gravity spell. If Elim couldn't strike it's vital after this, then at least Simo would get a clear shot it it went back up into the air"

The more Elim hacked at the creature, the less attention he paid to Simo. When the second Gravity spell came, the giant froze again, and while it was in no danger of falling to its doom as it was on the bridge, it struggled to maintain the snow and ice that made up its body. Indeed, the red ice was revealed once more, giving Elim a precious opportunity to finally deal some direct damage to the monster. He'd need to be quick, though, since Simo's Gravity spell wouldn't last too much longer, and given the creature's size and properties, it was pretty clear it could easily outlast them in a drawn out battle if they didn't strike now.<br/><br/>Back in the palace, Jared and Elsa were proving to be a surprisingly effective team. Elsa's near constant barrage of ice magic combined with Jared's power of Thunder proved a potent combination against the flying Air Soldiers. Even the one commanding them had to step in and join the fray once it was clear that it was the last man standing. Jared was relieved that there didn't appear to be any more Heartless spawning, but was cautious anyway. This Air Pirate Heartless was calling the shots for a good reason, as it was it much tougher than the others. Stronger, faster, but most importantly, this one was more intelligent. It had to be to be able to lead an attack as it had done."

As he charged forward, he changed his weapon again. A blunt weapon would be much better than a piercing weapon in terms of attacking the icy red core of the beast, so in another small flash of light, the Glaive changed into a Morning Star. Churning a bit more magical energy into his weapon, the flames around the head of the weapon grew more intense, Elim charging forward as, with the weapon held in two hands, he began to smash away at the red ice with all of his might, the fiery morning star hopefully doing its damage.<br/><br/>He had no idea for how much longer the red ice would remain revealed, so after five swift, powerful strikes, he jumped up, raised the weapon above his head as he did, and changed it one more time. Now it changed into a Maul. Using his short descent, and with a mighty shout, he slammed the hammer onto the red ice with that jumping attack, but he didn't stop there. He was going to keep swinging the mighty maul, which was slower than the Morning Star, at the red ice until either it broke or the creature started to hide it once again.<br/><br/>In either scenario he would jump off the creature and head back towards Simo to prepare for another rush with his glaive once again."

What few he did have, he didn't take; As Elim was still far too close for him to be comfortable taking the shot. So he watched and waited. One thing he found fascinating was Elim's ability to change his weapon; changing a sword into a scythe, then a spiky mace, and then a normal mace, was something that the young sniper had never seen before. 'I wonder if it's a skill that could be taught. Or maybe it requires a special kind of weapon to work. In fact, it may just be an ability of the weapon itself.<i>That</i>would certainly be fascinating. I wonder if it could work for guns as well.

""Thane, maybe we should leave."" Thane now angry said. ""You ALWAYS SIDE WITH HER!!"" Benji yelled back. ""YEAH BUT WHAT IS IT GOING TO HURT!"" ""So what if we go home early?"" Thane looked over at the one who had not spoken yet. Raphael you are the final decider. He continued to build his castle as he thought. Then Broke out in a joyful voice ""I want to finish the town that we are building!"" Thane said. "" Than it is decided. We will stay! Serene looked over at Benji. He came over and put his arm around her and said cheerfully. ""Its okay nothing bad is going to happen."" He smiled and said ""and if it dose I will protect you!"" Serene remembered everything about her brothers. Thane was the oldest. He was headstrong and always loved to tease. But he was the leader of there little gang. Raphael the next was quite but you could always tell when he was in deep thought.. He was also extremely smart cheerful and loving. When they where divide Raphael always side with Thane. Benji was the third oldest and was Serene's best friend. He was her protector.<br/>The weather had changed quickly. The clouds darkened and rain started to pour. Serene spoke. ""See what I mean!"" They all ran towards home but when the came to the bridge Thane stopped dead in his tracks. Serene yelled from the back ""Why did you stop?"" As the words came out of her mouth she woke to the present. Serene realized how cold she was she was laying in the snow. As she looked up tears filled her eyes with an overwhelming feeling of loss she could not remember what had happened but she knew it was bad. She told her self to snap out of it now was not the time to grieve. They had a princess to save. Wait where was the princess?<br/><br/>As she got up she heard Olaf's voice. ""Um exusse me miss but I don't believe this is the time to be making snow angels."" Serene look at him sternly. ""I was not making snow angels."" ""I was having a moment."" ""What kinda moment?"" ""Nevermind that where is princess Ana?"" ""We---ll you did you passie out snow angel thing and Ana told me to watch you while she ran-a-that-a way."" Olaf pointed in the direction of the trees. ""She WHAT!"" ""WHY?"" Olaf shrugged his shoulders. Serene ran in the direction Anna had head to as Olaf followed."

In fact it was near a point of shattering which, theoretically, would destroy the giant. Unfortunately, the Gravity Spell wore off before a final blow could be struck, then giant reformed itself and was ready for a third round. This time, though, getting the red ice to appear wouldn't be so easy, as Simo would find his magical stamina to be at its limit, meaning another Gravity spell just wouldn't be possible until he was able to rest, which the giant had no intention giving to the two. Unfortunately, this meant another strategy would be needed to end this fight once and for all.<br/><br/>That opportunity seemed to present itself when the doors to the ice palace flew open, with Elsa running outside fleeing from something. She stopped briefly when she found the bridge to be out, but a single gesture caused the ice to grow back somewhat, giving her a means to descend down to where the giant stood ready to attack. Just as the monster had raised a hand to strike again, it was suddenly halted, ""Stop!"" Elsa cried, the giant turning to look at its creator in obedience, ""They're not intruders, so stand down-"" she blinked in surprise, seeing a pool of darkness forming at the creature's feet and slowly overtaking it. Elsa could even feel the control she had over it slowly slip away, ""No!"" she exclaimed, now thrusting her palms forward. Instead of commanding the creature, she used her power to forcibly tear away at the snow of its body until the red ice was in view, ""You must finish it before I lose control! Hurry!""<br/><br/>Meanwhile, as Serene neared the trees, she would hear voice calling, ""Psst! Quick, over here!"" it was Ana, who was in hiding along with Kristoff and Sven, ""So? Is it over now?"" asked the Princess, apparently assuming that Serene coming to find her meant that the battle was over.<br/><br/><b>Moments Earlier</b><br/><br/>The Pirate Heartless lunged forward, flying right at Jared in a frontal charge. Jared held up the Keyblade defensively, managing to catch the Heartless's attack and redirect it elsewhere. The thing's back was briefly turned toward him, and Jared was quick to take the opportunity to strike at it's back. He also noticed the door was no longer blocked off, ""Quick! Go join the others!"" he told Elsa, who hesitated, ""Just go! I'll catch up as soon I finish here!"" Elsa then made for the door. The Pirate Heartless moved to stop her, but Jared was able to put himself between them and force it continue fighting him while she made her escape.<br/><br/>""What's wrong? Scared to fight me so you go after the girl?"" taunted Jared before he lunged forward to continue their fight, which had now become a duel between himself and the Pirate Heartless."

This only gave her more determination to fight for these sisters. She had to protect the them. She neared the trees. ""Psst!

Unfortunately Simo wasn't able to cast that strange Gravity Spell again. That spell certainly did seem handy, as being able to keep a foe in place to get a strike on them wasn't a bad thing to have. Fortunately their lack of Gravity was quickly solved, when a blue dressed woman came forth. It seemed she had some powerful magic that could control the snow on the beast's body, and possibly had been the one to create said creature. Whatever was going on though there was no time to think over, as Elim had only this chance to strike.<br/><br/>Elim charged forward with as much speed as he could, which was pretty swift in actuality. He kept his weapon a Morning Star, since it was lighter and easier to run with. With a powerful leap he moved towards the red ice core, raising his weapon in the process. With the momentum of his jump he brought his weapon down on the core once, and then a second time, with a third strike with all of the strength he could manage. Elim wasn't resting there though. He jumped upward, changing his weapon back into that large bladed Glaive, fire enveloping the blade as Elim poured a bit more magical energy into it this time.<br/><br/>""DIE!!"" He shouted, a fiery fury in his eyes as with one final push, and the momentum of a drop, he stabbed his glaive straight into the core with all of the strength he could muster, hoping that this would end the beast once and for all."

And it wasn't even physically exhausting, but something else. It was like a muscle that he never had before was starting to get worn out. As someone who hunted beasts five times his size on a slow day back home, he was no stranger to fatigue...but this...this was something very new. What was so strange about it was that it in no way made moving his body any harder. It was truly baffling<br/><br/>While he couldn't bring it down with his Gravity spell, he saw that he didn't need to, as Elim had managed to get his shape-shifting weapon inside of it, with what seemed to be the help of some strange women in blue who looked like she was trying to talk to it. That gave Simo the opening he needed. Lodging a sharp object into it had caused cracks to form on the surface of the core. So all Simo had to do was aim at a particularly nasty looking crack and fire...which is exactly what he did"

The Darkness that had seemed to corrupt the giant was gone now, perhaps it was Heartless seeking to take a heart that was never actually there, since the giant was a construct and not an actual being. Either way, the battle seemed to finally be over. As such, Ana and Kristoff came out of hiding, Ana actually applauding the efforts of Elim and Simo before she paused to realize that Elsa had come out, ""Sis?"" she asked, then ran up to her sister and might have even hugged her, but Elsa pushed her back, having never been one for showing affection.<br/><br/>""What are you doing here? Didn't you notice how ridiculously dangerous it is up here?"" Elsa demanded, now apparently scolding Ana for following her up this mountain. This got Ana teary eyed, but then she started shouting in return.<br/><br/>""Well, if YOU hadn't left in the first place..."" the two might have started arguing right then and there, but a crashing sound interrupted them. It came from the palace, and soon the source of the noise made itself known. A winged Pirate Heartless had apparently been thrown through the window and was now flying away from its attacker, who came leaping out of window, throwing his Keyblade in midair after the Heartless, but the creature had gotten too far away and managed to dodge the blade before escaping into the distance. Now on the ledge of the window, Jared used his own acrobatic skills to parkour his way back to the main staircase to rejoin the others. He didn't look too happy.<br/><br/>""Damn it, he got away..."" he said, swearing under his breath, ""...I take it the quiet means we're done here, right?"" of course it wasn't quiet for long. Ana made sure of that.<br/><br/>""I came up here to find YOU, we need you back home, Elsa!"" Ana said, shouting at her sister.<br/><br/>""Who said I wanted to come home?"" asked Elsa, ""It's safer for everyone if I just stay up here and away from people! You saw what I did the other night!""<br/><br/>Jared pinched the bridge of his nose. This was going to be a long trip back to the kingdom, wasn't it? He tried to block out the bickering sisters for now in favor of another thought. Why did that Heartless even run away in the first place? They were never that intelligent, and according to the information the ship had given about them, the only times Heartless ever acted with such intelligence was when someone was... commanding... them. ""Uh oh,"" said Jared, sharply looking in the direction the Heartless had fled, ""Will you two stop your argument, please? We've got a situation!"" he suddenly said, standing between the Princess and Queen and finally having had enough of the bickering, ""That Heartless that ran away,"" he gestured in the direction the creature had flown, ""that way goes back to the Kingdom, doesn't it?""<br/><br/>Elsa, Ana, and even Kristoff looked off in the distance and seemed to realize the problem right away, ""Not good, not good!"" cried Ana as went back to the sled that Kristoff was already preparing. Jared then approached Elsa.<br/><br/>""Look, Your Majesty, you may wanna go home right now, but it looks like it's in danger now... and we could really use your powers to help us."" he told her bluntly. She seemed to think about it then sighed and walked forward.<br/><br/>""Fine, but I'm not staying."" she said, holding her hands out and conjuring a sled made of ice, then summoned a team of two horses made of snow to pull it. Between the two sleds, there was just enough room for everyone to ride back to Arendelle. With the transportation, the trip back would be much quicker than the one up the mountain in the first place. Of course, they didn't need to get close to Arendelle to notice it was in trouble. Dark clouds seemed to hang over the place, and when the sleds got close there were some Heartless at the main gate to greet them.<br/><br/>""Ugh, forget these guys! We need to find the source!"" Jared said, having ridden in Elsa's sled. The snow queen nodded at his words and used her powers to trap the Heartless in ice so that they could skip through them and into the city itself. More Heartless were there, and most of them seemed to be gathered around the big fountain in the town square, and so that was where the sleds went to. Both sled teams stopped in their tracks when the fountain came in view. There, in the middle of the Heartless swarm, standing tall and confident, was<i>Prince Hans</i>and a familiar-looking Pirate Heartless.<br/><br/>""You..."" said Jared, ""You're behind this!""<br/><br/>""Unfortunate that it had to come to this..."" said Hans, beginning to step toward the party, ""...but you people interfered and forced my hand. If only you'd just died out in that frozen wasteland, then this all could have been so much simpler...""<br/><br/>""But... you said I was your true love..."" said Ana in tears. Hans scoffed.<br/><br/>""Please, if I'd been able to woo your sister like I originally planned, I'd have never had to trouble myself with you. Now, if you mind... I'd like for you all to kindly DIE!"" he said in response, drawing a saber of his own toward the end and giving a command for the Heartless to attack, lunging forward himself.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyCbs7qBO14"">World Boss - Hans</a>"

Simo muttered to himself. It was apparent to him that this Hans guy was commanding (or maybe even outright controlling) the Heartless. Now Simo wasn't a stranger to this kind of set up, as many of the creatures on his home planet did the same thing...however in those cases, the controller was far stronger then the controlled. In fact, the controlled were mostly used as cannon fodder/distractions. Now while Hans looked like he knew how to use that weapon he had, he didn't look like he was much stronger then the monsters he was controlling. Assuming all of this was true, then all Simo had to do would be to fire a bullet between his eyes, then they could start cleaning up the disorganized heartless. However as he had already stated; this looked far too easy. ""Still worth a try."" While he didn't know that much about laws (the very concept of government was something pretty new to him, seeing as his own home planet didn't have anything like that), he was pretty sure that trying to kill a queen, a princes, and commanding a horde of evil monsters was grounds for execution.

His legacy, however, lived on. The WDS (World Defense System) was greatly expanded and improved until it was capable of eliminating all Heartless activity on a single world. Over time, this system was spread to other worlds, and eventually Heartless became a thing of the past. It seemed the only place Heartless could now thrive was in the depths of space, in the areas outside of the opened Star Paths. Their increased presence in these locations caused them to develop strong concentration of dark energies, too dangerous to fly through, and so Gummi Ship travel became restricted to only following the paths that Sora had opened during his second journey (Kingdom Hearts 2). Like Sora, Riku also dedicated his life to the cause of light, and after Sora's death he founded a Brotherhood of Knights that would come to be known as the Judges. The Judges tasked themselves with maintaining the peace and eliminating any force that would threaten the return of the Heartless.<br/><br/>It's now been a thousand years since those times. Peace has reigned throughout that time, and most of the worlds are prospering. One of those worlds is Lunaris, a world named for it's intriguing resemblance to a moon. Lunaris is a thriving space port, finding itself in the center of a profitable trading route between various worlds. It's home to many merchants (some that travel, others that don't) and has become a popular place for would-be adventurers and explorers to get their start. One unlikely group of strangers, each in Lunaris for one reason or another, face an impending challenge... whether they know it or not. What had begun as a simple purpose for being in Lunaris will take a turn... for the worse.</i><br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">The Story So Far</span></b><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

        On an average morning in Lunaris, two of the famed Judges, Raiden and Seraph arrive to perform an inspection of the WDS in place for the spaceport. Five youths named Jared, Kasus, Elim, Serene, and Siho awaken or arrive, preparing to go about their usual morning business. Suddenly, an explosion shakes the port, followed by the appearance of Heartless, not seen on worlds for a thousand years. The Judges race to the tower housing the WDS control center, aiming to repair the system before Lunaris can be overrun. In the town itself, the five youths brandish various weapons and do their best to fight off the creatures and help others to safety. But luck was not on their side, and a giant armored Heartless appeared within the merchant district, threatening to level the shops if not dealt with. The five attacked it immediately, and thus the story of how they first met was begun. One of them, Jared, broke his weapon against the armored creature and was nearly knocked out completely with a blow of retaliation from the creature. The others continued fighting, soon discovering that the emblem on the creature's chest was it's weak point. Now with an actual place to focus their attacks, the group begin to deal real damage to the Heartless boss. Meanwhile, Jared is able to regain his focus thanks to a gunshot against the Heartless, courtesy of Siho who had now decided to join the fray. Spotting a child about to be attacked by a smaller Heartless, Jared's courage swelled as he charge the black creature, summoning a mysterious weapon to his hands as if by a miracle. The weapon cut through the Heartless easily, and with a renewed fighting spirit Jared gave it a good throw, the blade of the weapon lodging into the big one's chest. Granted an opening, Kasus, Siho, and Elim let loose on the creature, and finally the creature seemed defeated. Serene in the meantime became distracted by the sudden disappearance of her lover, Moon-in-Sun, but she wouldn't have enough time to dwell on that. The defeated Heartless suddenly reformed itself into a similar, but different form that was much stronger than the previous one. Thankfully, Raiden and Seraph appeared to battle the creature themselves. As they struck, Jared's caretaker Dion also appeared and urged the five to run, saying they would be in grave danger if they remained.<br/><br/>And so, with little choice, the group followed him. He took them to an old hanger, telling them of an old Gummi Ship he possessed called the Enterprise. He'd once captained the ship once upon a time, but he was now passing it on to them, to Jared in particular, wishing them to take it and use it to escape. But why? The answer was grim, for he told them that the Judges were convinced that <i>they</i> were the ones who attacked the WDS and sabotaged it. And that after dealing with the Heartless, they would be next on their to-do list. He also seemed well-aware of what the Keyblade and Heartless were, but there was no time for questioning why. He then left the group in order to buy them time, and so they blasted off from Lunaris, now branded as outlaws and traitors. As Enemies of the Light.

You do <b>not</b> get to start out with a Keyblade. It will come to you in time, but only after it is earned. Until then, you would be wise to have an alternative means to fight or defend yourself.</li><br/><li>Magic, in this time period, is considered a somewhat rare art. That basically means you cannot start with an arsenal of spells, but only <b>one</b> spell that you likely haven't even mastered yet.</li><br/><li>The above rule is slightly different if you plan to play a pure mage. In such a case, you are entitled to no more than <b>three</b> starting spells, and they have to be basic (ie no bending time and space) and must <b>not</b> include the Cure spell. Healing magic right out of the starting gate would be a bit too easy in my opinion.</li><br/><li>While Kingdom Hearts is known for combining Final Fantasy and Disney, I will be incorporating characters and locales from other sources, meaning you can as well.</li><br/><li>Regarding the above rule, please do not go overboard with it. If you wish to include a character or world from another franchise it has to at least make sense. For instance, Shrek is a character who would likely fit very well in the KH-verse, as would other Square-Enix alumni from games like Chrono Trigger. Ezio Auditore and Darth Vader, on the other hand, would <b>not</b> fit. Does that make any sense?</li><br/><li>The Judges are strictly NPC's. This means you cannot play as one, nor can your character start with any personal connections to them. You can, however, control some of their actions in your posts for the sake of moving the plot and/or avoiding one liner posts.</li><br/><li>Regarding Nobodies, they are mostly no longer relevant in this time period. If you <i>really</i> want to encounter them at a later time then it can be worked out, but only standard Nobodies. Organization XIII is dead and gone, and no amount of popularity is going to convince me to resurrect them like the main games have done.</li><br/><li>These rules, as written, are subject to be altered, deleted, or have more added to them as I see fit.</li><br/><li>Let's try to write an epic tale and have a little fun while we're at it, shall we?</li><br/></ol><hr/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Abilities</span></b><br/><br/>Abilities will fall into one of two categories: Minor and Major. An ability's overall power and ease of use determines the category it falls under. Here's some quick examples.<br/><ol><br/><li><b>Minor Abilities:</b> These abilities are ones that are generally common among many characters and are usually learned via level up in the games. Certain attacks like Strike Raid and Goofy Tornado are considered Minor Abilities. Certain Support abilities, such as MP Haste, are also considered Minor. In our game, these will generally be learned after fighting minor boss battles that will typically come in the middle of a World's storyline.</li><br/><li><b>Major Abilities:</b> These are more powerful Abilities that cannot be learned via level up, and instead are typically learned at certain plot points or as rewards for side quests. New spells or upgrading old ones are considered Major Abilities, as are Limit Breaks and, for the purposes of the RP, Shotlocks. For the RP, Major Abilities are only learned after defeating the World Boss, the boss battle that represents the climax and ending of a World's storyline.</li><br/><li><b>Summons</b> will be handled slightly differently. Rather than learning them as any other ability, they will be obtained in one of two ways: Charms (a la Kingdom Hearts 2) which, like in the game they originated in, are items to be carried around and (by that logic) usable by anyone who's carrying them; the other method of gaining summons is related to the overarching storyline. The difference between these methods is simple: Charms apply to Disney Character summons (eg Dumbo, Tinker Bell, etc), the other method will apply to Final Fantasy summons (eg Ifrit, Shiva, etc).</li><br/></ol><hr/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Character Skeleton</span></b><br/><br/>Name:<br/><br/>Age:<br/><br/>Gender:<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/><br/>Personality:<br/><br/>History:<br/><br/>Weapon:<br/><br/>Skills:<br/>Shotlock: (Leave this blank for now, abilities like these are to be learned over time.)<br/>Magic:<br/><br/>Summon: (Leave this blank for now as well, like Shotlocks these will be acquired over time.)<hr/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Characters</span></b><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

This can often lead to trouble, if his curiosity takes him to a place he is not allowed to be in.

If he happens upon a hungry child or stray cat, he'll not hesitate to share what little food he has. If he encounters bullying or even a mugging, he'll stand up to the antagonists without a second thought. Through all this, Jared has a dream of his own. Having spent his whole life around the ships of Lunaris, he hopes to one day have one to call his own, so he too can take to the stars and partake in whatever the universe has to offer.<br/><br/><b>History:</b> Despite Lunaris' bustling population, there are surprisingly few people who actually live there. Thatch is one of these few, having grown up in and around the various space ports and sea ports, watching ships come and go and listening in on stories shared between captains and crew members. But Thatch himself was just an urchin as far anyone was concerned, a kid with no family scavenging shipwrecks for anything of value or that might still be useful and selling them for peanuts just to avoid starving. But then Thatch met the one man who actually saw something in him. He was an older man, a retired captain named Dion, who lived alone in an old military hanger no longer in use. He essentially took the boy in, giving him a place he could actually call home, and meals that consisted of more than just single pieces of fruit or stale bread. It didn't stop Jared from his scavenging - or ""prospecting"" as he preferred to call it - and in fact the old man knew of more shipwrecks and would loan his boat to Thatch to go out and search them. Soon he was also teaching the boy some self-defense maneuvers from his time as a captain.

<br/>1. Keyblades. This one is sort of the elephant in the room. At least one will be incorporated in ways I will choose not to reveal for spoilery reasons. But what I'm asking is should the party be allowed to have them. The issue I'm thinking of is that if everyone has one, then that diminishes their overall value, but if only one or two is allowed to have one then it suddenly becomes unfair to everyone else. Should Keyblades simply be banned in terms of player characters?<br/><br/>2. Nobodies. You'll notice that the plot hook kind of goes out of its way to avoid mentioning them. This is because I simply have no idea what to do with them at present. I can imagine they would just kind of fade away since Sora defeating the Organization kind of made them become irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Any thoughts or whatever concerning this? *shrugs*
    </blockquote><br/><br/>1) I'd like to start off by saying, I don't want to create a Keyblade Wielder, I prefer to create side characters. That said, I think limiting Keyblades to two players isn't very authentic. Almost everyone other than Donald and Goofy have a Keyblade. Even Lee, who hadn't even been revived for that long managed to summon a Keyblade. In fact, a better example is Kairi. She was a blob for most of the series but still manages to wield a Keyblade. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that the KH Universe isn't short of Keyblade Wielders. Anyone with a strong enough heart can wield a Keyblade. With this is mind, limiting Keyblades to two characters is basically saying those are the only two characters who have strong enough hearts. I think each character should be be able to obtain a Keyblade so long as they perform the Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony, which I'm not sure how all of us would do but it is the only explained cannon way to become a Keyblade Wielder. My suggestion is that we allow everyone who wants to, to eventually wield a Keyblade, emphasis on eventually. If your worry is that the enemies will seem weak in comparison to our army, just think of stronger enemies! Haha.<br/><br/>2. I like your stance on Nobodies.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

        Regarding the above rule, please do not go overboard with it. If you wish to include a character or world from another franchise it has to at least make sense. For instance, Shrek is a character who would likely fit very well in the KH-verse, as would other Square-Enix alumni from games like Chrono Trigger. Ezio Auditore and Darth Vader, on the other hand, would not fit. Does that make any sense?
    </blockquote><br/><br/>As a matter of fact, Darth Vader makes more sense than Shrek. The new Star Wars films are owned by Disney meaning we'll more than likely get to see this universe within a Kingdom Hearts game at some point, much in the same way we saw Pirates of the Caribbean and Tron, two live action films adapted for the Kingdom Hearts Universe."

Just because Star Wars and Marvel are technically owned by Disney does not mean they should be included, because they're just too bloated with worlds and cultures of their own. Shrek at least is a single, self-contained world and he at least<i>feels</i>like a Disney character to some degree. Mind you, this doesn't mean I have plans for the character or world, I was just cherry-picking it as an example.<br/><br/>And yeah, either we have limited Keyblades, or none at all. Maybe I just have different taste, but as soon as the KH games started handing out Keyblades like candy to everyone that was when I started losing interest. The Keyblade is supposed to be the prophesied weapon that defeats the darkness and saves the universe. That doesn't sound like the kind of power I want everyone and their dog to possess. It's like Super Saiyans, you know the legendary warrior that's supposed to be born only once in a thousand years? The meaning of that was also completely ruined when that show started giving every bloody person the ability to transform into one. Kingdom Hearts effectively did the same thing with the Keyblades and I aim to rectify it in this RP's world."

<br/>To live you need to possess strength. This rule has literally ruled over Elim's life and thus has become a part of her. She wishes to obtain strength and doesn't care for much else. The strength to live and the strength to triumph over all challenges is what Elim truly desires. Do not think this means she is antisocial or cold though. Quite the opposite actually. Elim is quite outgoing in everything she does, always making sure she does her best. She isn't afraid to show her thoughts and tell people what she really thinks. In fact, she usually doesn't show restraint on this part unless she feels the need to. She can be honest, too honest sometimes. <br/><br/>She also doesn't really care much for matters on gender as she wasn't raised or taught to take such things into consideration. Everyone is who they are regardless of gender, thus she doesn't really care for things like romance or relationships. She is too busy with her own goals of obtaining true strength and her goals of revenge. Speaking of which she also is not afraid of fighting either. She never backs out of a challenge, unless she absolutely feels she has to which is rare, and is also not afraid of killing either, especially if it is for her revenge. After all if anyone she fights does die it is because they wished for a death match. She does not like killing, but will do so if she needs to.

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Elim's world is more of a backwater world that hasn't seen many of the advances that others have. People still go to and from places either by foot or horse and journeys from place to place can take days or even months depending upon both the route and destination. Unfortunately for the residents of the world of Ithelia this makes travel alot more dangerous since there are many monsters, dangerous animals, and bandits roaming the roads. So in order to travel the roads safely you either needed to possess strength yourself or hire a bodyguard to protect you. <br/><br/>Elim's parents were traveling merchants who traveled from place to place. Her older brother was a swordsman who essentially was the strength that protected them during travels from town to town as her parents traded and sold goods. For the first four years of Elim's life this worked out, Elim's older brother protecting his family from whatever monster or creature came their way. Small-time bandits were no match for his skills and things were quite well. That is until they had the misfortune of running into a infamous bandit group known as the Crimson Skull Bandits. <br/><br/>Not even her brother's skills were a match for the large numbers they used to attack traveling merchant caravans. He fought his hardest, as did their father, to protect their family from the bandits. Unfortunately twelve pretty skilled bandits versus one skilled swordsman and one not-so skilled merchant were pretty unfavorable odds. Her brother and father were killed and she, her mother, and their goods were all stolen away to the bandit's camp. There was talk of selling Elim and her mother off into slavery, something that was considered one of the worst hells in the entire land of Ithelia since slaves were treated as objects, although it was illegal in many places that didn't mean it wasn't practiced either in places where it was legal nor in places where it was illegal. <br/><br/>This talk of the bandits had been overheard by Elim's mother, who wouldn't have her daughter sold into the arms of monsters. So at the risk of her own life she attempted to escape. For the most part she was successful, managing to sneak away from the bandits. Unfortunately the sneaking became running as they ran after her, firing arrows at her as she ran to try and hit her to stop her escape. One managed to make its mark, but Elim's mother pressed on. Her desires to protect her child were stronger than any force and allowed her to keep running despite the arrow wound and while they allowed them to escape from the bandits they did not allow her to survive for much longer after their escape. <br/><br/>Her mother died a day after their escape, the two of them being stuck in the wilderness. That was where Elim met 'him'. Her master, a wandering man who never actually revealed his name. He helped the young Elim bury her mother and put her to rest, then convinced the girl to come along with him, which she agreed to do so since she had nowhere else to go. He didn't do this to take Elim in as a daughter or out of pity. No, the man had other reasons. He saw potential in her and wished to pass on his skills to an heir, essentially he took her in as a student. Of course, he didn't start teaching the girl until she was eight since she wasn't ready to learn yet. <br/><br/>Seven more years passed after the beginning of Elim's tutoring. Elim had passed on much of his knowledge of combat and magic to her over the seven years. The main thing he passed on though was his Blue Magic, which was more than just magic. It was a power that one had to take in to their body in a ritual only a Blue Mage could perform. Unfortunately he died a month after she turned fifteen thanks to a deadly illness of the heart. She mourned his death, but only for a day. She knew that he wouldn't have wanted her to mourn him for too long, as after his death she had set out to do one of her main goals in life. <br/><br/>Revenge. She knew that she couldn't move on with her life until she found the bandit gang that killed her entire family. After half a year her search actually lead her out of Ithelia and to the other worlds. To Lunaris, where she had heard was the best place to start since it was a widely traveled to world. She found someone who was traveling worlds to take her there and now her true journey to search for those who killed her parents begins. Note she disguises herself as a boy so that in case she does run into the group that killed her family so that they won't recognize her and she can get the jump on them.

<br/>Elim wields a Rune blade gifted to her by her master. The runes imbued in the blade make it the ultimate weapon for a blue mage. Not only is the blade somewhat sturdier, but it is able to change form and shape. Other than this the sword itself, and whatever it changes into, are just normal weapons. The sword also only changes when Blue Magic is being used if said ability being used with it requires a different kind of weapon. He can change it at will as well without the usage of Blue Magic, but this requires mana and thus it can tire him out if he does it too often, so he will usually keep it as a sword unless he needs a ranged weapon.

<br/>Skills: Blue Magic*, Weapon Expertise, Runic*, Rune-Smithing*, MP Haste, Magic Blade*<br/>Shotlock: N/A<br/>Magic: Fire, Aero, Blizzard<br/><br/>Summon: N/A<hr/>Unique Skills<br/><br/>All Skills marked with a * are unique or special (like in a FF Wiki). Here are their explanations. <br/><br/>Rune Smithing: Learned from her master to imbue runes into weapons to make them stronger and imbue them with magic permanently. Elim can only do this with either any spells he knows or with the same magic that is in his current weapon, a magic that allows it to transform. The strength of the weapon itself determines how much magic it can hold in it. <br/><br/>Runic: A mysterious skill imparted to Elim by her master. The user captures magic that hits them in their weapon if they can block it, absorbing a brunt of the magic (and thus negate a brunt of the damage) and converting that into Mana to replenish their own reserves. Elim can still learn the magic absorbed with Runic using Blue Magic this way since he is still feeling and experiencing the magic both in his weapon and within him when he absorbs it for Mana. Note though for this ability to work the user has to see the magic coming as they have to be able to block it with their weapon. <br/><br/>Blue Magic: All of the culmination of Elim's skill and ability comes from this one special form of magic. An incredibly rare and mysterious form of magic, Blue Mages do not actually learn any spells on their own. Instead using a special power that they possess they can learn an ability, technique, or spell by experiencing it with their body, whether its good or bad. Of course they only learn it if they survive the ability and stay conscious during it as the Blue Mage has to prove that they are stronger than the ability used upon them and able to handle its power. Completely blocking or avoiding the ability does not work (essentially the user has to be damaged or affected by the ability somehow). <br/><br/>Magic Blade: A Skill used by magic knights, one that her master knew but one that Elim did not completely learn at the time. A special Skill great for Blue Mages who acquire a variety of powers and techniques as they fight all different kinds of foes, using these powers and techniques as magic. Elim can put magic into her weapon and with it achieve different affects based upon the magic imbued into the weapon. <br/>

Speaking of which, it's probably best not to be too attached to the gear you start with. Just a... suggestion.<br/><br/>What I'm trying to avoid is falling into the trap of everyone having just one preferred weapon and that one weapon always somehow be all they ever need.

</div><br/><br/>Personality: Simo is surprisingly sweet for someone who can pick you off from across a football field. Cheerful and outgoing, he love to meet new people...unfortunately, his father wasn't too great at social interaction, so a few of his more stupid move were passed onto his son<br/><br/>History: Simo was raised by his widower father in a cabin in the forest. There, he learned how to hunt and track, as well as how to handle a gun. He started out with a simple bolt action rife, but switched over to a sniper when he found an abandoned sniper rife in the forest one day. In order to get around faster, Simo would often travel through the trees, this also made it easier to avoid getting spotted by any potential pray.<br/><br/>One day, his father left home, telling his son that he had a lot of old business to take care of. A few days latter, Simo decided to venture off himself, eventually making his way to Lunaris...<br/><br/>Weapon: A beat up old sniper rifle<br/><br/>Skills: Acrobatics, Marksmanship and Tracking<br/>Abilities: Glide, High Jump<br/>Shotlock:<br/>Magic: Reflect, Gravity<br/><br/>Summon:"

</div><br/><br/>Personality: Quiet, methodical, mature. Quiven has spent a very long time alone in the world of darkness, and at time the corruption of the world of the heartless gets to him. He has a dark sense of humor, and a very no-nonsense outlook in life. If he is sad he will hide it with anger, though it's easier to irritate than to completely aggravate him. He is a calm individual that would rather be left alone to himself than to deal with childish antics.<br/><br/>History: Growing up on the world of Onryii, a world in which the world is like a Renaissance era with futuristic types of themes and weaponry, Quiven studied under several knights to as a squire. He had just been promoted to the level of knighthood, and earned the affections of a childhood friend. He had earned the blessing to marry Levidiae, the girl whom he had always been vying for. The ceremony was planned, and life was beautiful. The day before the wedding, his world became riddled with darkness and full of creatures he could not slay despite his best efforts. They had him pinned down, these... heartless beings... and they were ready to take his heart. At the last moment, in desperation, Quiven thought of Levidiae, and grasped his heart as it hovered above his body, and forced it back within.<br/>A pool of shadow formed beneath him, and many hands reached up to claim their prize. He found himself falling into a deep abyss until at last he fell upon a pedestal of light with many different women decorating the mosaic at his feet. He used his blade to defend himself, which proved capable of harming the dark creatures.<br/>For many years, time passing normally for him when outside the time was passing at a much rapid pace, trapped in this dark world without knowing where he was, he fought back against the darkness. Eventually, he discovered the ability to open doors, random ones that he fell upon in the dark world, and enter through them into worlds completely different than is own. He always returns to the world of darkness, however, hoping to find the door back to Onryii, back to Levidiae. He doesn't understand, that he fell into this dark world a little over one thousand years ago, and that Levidiae... is long dead, as well as the world of Onryii...<br/>He has no knowledge of any keyblade or keyblade master for that matter.<br/>[In the beginning of Kingdom hearts, King Mickey explains in his letter that 'the stars are going out, one by one.' Onryii was one of these worlds, or as Mickey put it, Stars]<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

This blade reflects Quivens emotional state [an effect of his 'darkened' heart and time spent in the darkness] and will do various things accordingly.<br/>Anger-All attacks are heavy hitters, but this is taxing and doesn't last long. Where the blade trails, a red shadow follows<br/>Sad-The Blade turns a shade of blue, and freezes an opponent [npcs only, one at a time.] Where the blade trails, a blue shadow follows<br/>Calm-The Blade remains neutral, and it is up to Quiven to use it skillfuly. Where the blade trails, a black shadow follows<br/>Happy-The Blade turns a shade of red and reflects an image of Levidiae beneath a tree of cherry blossoms. When he strikes, the blade drops falling cherry blossoms and can stun opponents. [Npcs only unless granted permission]<br/>

Hey so I hope it was okay I just copied some of the stuff you had posted word for word. Just in Moon In-Sun and Serene's view. It was written well and I felt it would be pointless for me to write it in a different way. If there is any problems let me know and I will change it. :)<br/><br/>Also Moon In-Sun is not staying. He is there to show her where he found her. I was think if you have a fight scene he would be injured or get lost in a crowd or something. Just so ya know.

Secondly, and this is where I was most conflicted, is in regards to his sword. Now, I'm not claiming to know your intentions or anything, so I'll just apologize in advance for this, but the sword (to me, anyway) seems to just be a re-skinned Keyblade and I'm afraid it won't be feasible in this setting. In case you're unaware, Heartless<i>can</i>be killed with conventional weapons, as evidenced by Final Fantasy characters being able to fight them off, so if you're worried about not being able to defend yourself, then don't be. Also, I have plot-related plans for how the party will eventually deal with Heartless and the Darkness in general and your sword kind of contradicts some of those plans, I'm afraid. Finally, one can't just spend centuries surviving in the Dark Realm. For one, it wouldn't stop him from aging, and secondly, just being in that Realm constantly runs you the risk of being consumed by Darkness. Ever wonder why Riku stopped using the dark portals? It's because the Other Side is so pure with Darkness that just briefly passing through it via Corridor of Darkness can be risky to one's Heart."

</blockquote><br/><br/>okay points are taken. I would like to keep his schematic as a more mature figure in the group though, would it be possible that traversing the worlds and dark world that time would move differently so that it's only been a handful of years to him while to the outside world time has gone on as normal? that way I could kinda keep things the same. As far as the sword thing I'm not too attatched to the concept, so I could just have it as a normal blade, only after his near death he found his own personal strength enough to combat them. Im aware of the risks of traveling in the darkness, and I mentioned that it has corrupted him in some ways, in other ways it remains untouched in memory of the woman he loved. While he is a dark individual his center is still full of light, because he's still holding onto the hope that he will find her.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<br/>Plus once he discovered shes been long dead that could be something pretty dramatic and make him lose himself to the darkness completely and fight everyone until they convince him the light is still there, or kill him and that'd be super rad for all parties involved.<br/>

He doesn't remember much about his parents, and for reasons unknown to him, he can't help but picture them wearing white robes. Around the time Kasus was 5 years old, his parents left home without explaining why, and have never returned. He was told that his parents had gone missing, and were presumed deceased, forcing Kasus to live in an orphanage for a few years. The only thing connecting him and his parents is his fathers Blade of Valor, which he left for Kasus. Eventually, a merchant by the name of Fargo adopted Kasus, taking him in and teaching him the merchants trade. Fargo owned a shop called <i>""Lunar Goods""</i>, Which sold various trinkets and mementos from other worlds. This required Kasus to encounter many people from many worlds, and sparked his longing for adventure. <br/><br/>Kasus has lived with Fargo for ten years, and from time to time would head out to the beach, practicing with his Blade of Valor on rocks, boxes, and junk that the shop never sold. A wizard once arrived to the shop, and took a liking to Kasus, giving him a book of titled <i>""Fire""</i>. After a year of practice, Kasus was able to teach himself the Fire spell. <br/><br/>According to Fargo, Kasus is to inherit Lunar Goods, and carry on its ""Legacy,"" unbeknownst to Fargo, Kasus plans to save up enough money and eventually sell the shop to purchase his very own gummi ship, and go off into the universe, living his dream and exploring the universe, uncovering the secrets and mystery's it has to offer. Unfortunately, this day has yet to come, and so Kasus waits. <br/><br/><b>Skills:</b> <br/>Heightened speed, Hand to Hand, Trading, Alchemy, One-handed weapons<br/><br/><b>Magic:</b> <br/>Fire<br/><br/><b>Summon:</b><br/><br/><b>Abilities:</b><br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Minor</span><br/><br/>High Jump: Kasus may jump higher and farther than the average person at will. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Major</span><br/><br/>Hummingbird: Dart in to rain countless blows upon the enemy

In practice, though, not so much I'm afraid. If this were any other KH game I'd be perfectly fine with it, but people just randomly appearing out of dark windows, well, I don't want to spoil any plot things, but the party definitely does NOT want to be attracting that kind of attention to themselves.

An ability's overall power and ease of use determines the category it falls under. Here's some quick examples.<br/><ol><br/><li>Minor Abilities: These abilities are ones that are generally common among many characters and are usually learned via level up in the games. Certain attacks like Strike Raid and Goofy Tornado are considered Minor Abilities. Certain Support abilities, such as MP Haste, are also considered Minor. In our game, these will generally be learned after fighting minor boss battles that will typically come in the middle of a World's storyline.</li><br/><li>Major Abilities: These are more powerful Abilities that cannot be learned via level up, and instead are typically learned at certain plot points or as rewards for side quests. New spells or upgrading old ones are considered Major Abilities, as are Summons, Limit Breaks, and (for the purposes of the RP) Shotlocks. For the RP, Major Abilities are only learned after defeating the World Boss, the boss battle that represents the climax and ending of a World's storyline.</li><br/></ol><br/><br/>Credit for this system should go to Renose as well as myself, as it was one of his old RP's that inspired the above formula."

Long story short, this will either be a reasonably quick Boss Battle or an arduous one. It all depends on where the characters decide to direct their attacks.<br/><br/>Quick trivia about the Guard Armor. In the games, focusing on the Torso (the head apparently counts as part of the torso somehow) will kill the Boss faster, but taking the time to destroy the limbs first will yield more Health/MP/Munny drops. Since the RP will not be using those kinds of metagame concepts, you can probably guess which strategy will be better."

They are:<br/><br/>-A ""Story so far..."" segment giving brief summaries of the events of the RP as they occur. This is so we won't have to click through page after page to remind us of things that previously happened. Or for an outside reader to get an idea of all that's happened so they don't have to read a backlog of posts if they don't want to.<br/><br/>-And a copy of the concept for Major and Minor Abilities that I mentioned a couple pages ago.<br/><br/>Speaking of Abilities, since we technically defeated the Guard Armor (it's an Opposite Armor now) the World Boss for Lunaris has been cleared. Congrats everyone. In case you don't know, ""World Boss"" will be a term I use to refer to the Boss fought at the end of a World's storyline. Yet another concept borrowed from Renose (maybe I should be paying you royalties at this point? lol). Anyway, from this point onward, worlds we visit will generally have two Bosses: A Mid Boss and a World Boss. Sometimes there will be more than one Mid Boss if the plot calls for it, but only one World Boss. Anyway, defeating a Mid Boss is rewarded with a Minor Ability, while World Bosses give Major Abilities.<br/><br/>Yes, that includes the Guard Armor we just defeated. So you can go ahead and add a Major and Minor Ability to your CS as reward for beating it. Bear in mind this is the ONLY occasion where both a Major and Minor Ability are learned, all other Bosses will give one or the other, never both."

The game just you learn abilities as you level up. Since we're not using levels, we're instead learning abilities at fixed points in the plot (ie defeating a boss).

It involves combining two Abilities you already know to create a new one more or less. Shotlocks were often techniques that were learned by this method. For example, Meteor Shower was potentially learned by melding Thunder with either Fire or the Blitz attack. Most Shotlocks have various recipes for learning them. In the RP, Shotlocks will be learned as Major Abilities, but to be able to learn them you must have already learned enough abilities for at least one of the Command Meld recipes. In the case of Meteor Shower, that would mean you'd have to at least learn the Thunder spell and, say, the Fire spell before being eligible to learn Meteor Shower later on."

True, Elim hit it with a Blizzard spell beforehand but I know from recent experience that it takes more than that to kill a Large Body at such an early level as this.

Or you could, should you dare, enter the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. The choices are yours and yours alone. Good luck."

Here it is:<br/><br/><b>Summons</b>will be handled slightly differently. Rather than learning them as any other ability, they will be obtained in one of two ways: Charms (a la Kingdom Hearts 2) which, like in the game they originated in, are items to be carried around and (by that logic) usable by anyone who's carrying them; the other method of gaining summons is related to the overarching storyline. The difference between these methods is simple: Charms apply to Disney Character summons (eg Dumbo, Tinker Bell, etc), the other method will apply to Final Fantasy summons (eg Ifrit, Shiva, etc)."

Sara cried over her friend and new found lover as he layed on the floor, unmoving. She leaned over, checking his head, and screamed a terrified shriek when she touched his head where the bucket had hit. They had killed him. The only person who ever understood her, who had tried to help her, who had loved her, was gone. The blood soaked girl stood up, her angry and piercing blue eyes glowing ever so slightly as they fell upon the crowd. The sweet, shy, awkward little Sara was gone in that moment. The old Sara was not conscious, nor aware of what was going on.This was a new Sara.The lights above her cracked and exploded over everyone, making them scream. <br/><br/>They had reasons to scream yes, because they would soon lose their lives. Every single one of those unforgivable scum would soon be begging for mercy, just as she had so many times. But, just as mercy was never shown to neither she or James, she would not show it to them. She killed them all. Some were held down mentally to the floor while their classmates trampled over them in attempt to get to the doors they had no idea were locked, while others were crushed between the bleachers she pushed together on them in their struggles to escape. Some where caught on fire from ripped electrical wires. Some were thrown against walls and tables. Once the more disposable ones(over one hundred students) were out of the way, she moved onto the few whom had caused her and James the most pain through out their years. A group of just twenty people. She took her time with these. The ones who had just been the lackeys she slowly and mentally choked until they fell to the floor lifeless. The leaders though, oh she had fun with them. She levitated broken shards of glass and slowly cut them, every inch of their skin, and when she grew tired of ones screams, she would slit their throat and move on to the next one. <br/><br/>The very last one trembled there. This was the most hated one. A pretty little bitch who had made her life miserable. The one who had taken the video of her and laughed, only to later post it on the internet for everyone to see.The one who had planned the prank that had killed her beloved James. This girl had ruined her life. The girl looked up at her, begging her for her life to be spared, ""Sara! Y-you don't want to do this! You'll regret this! All of this! For the rest of your life!""<br/><br/>""And what about James's life? WHAT ABOUT HIS LIFE!? YOU THINK HE'LL REGRET THIS?!"" Sara's face suddenly grew darker as she stood over the girl, ""Oh yes, that's right. He won't have a chance to. Because you killed him."" With a snarl she swiped her hand through the air and a sickening crack sounded as the girls neck was broken. With her last victim out of the way, she had just stumbled her way back home. She walked through the front door, finding her mother had broken out of the closet, and unable to find her, went to wash the horrid blood from her skin. She filled the tub and stripped down, slipping in. The blood filled the tub and looking down at her arms, still wet with the blood that had not only been poured over her, but the blood of the people she had killed, the emotional and scarred Sara suddenly snapped back into place and she began screaming.</i><br/><br/>The screams that escaped her filled her bedroom and woke her up, the young blonde woman siting up in her bed quickly, hysterical, biting down hard on her arm to muffle her screams and cries of fear at the painful memories that haunted her dreams. She laid back, sobbing and yelling into her pillow, trying to tell herself that what happened was all in the past. That it wasn't even her. That had been Sara. She wasn't Sara anymore. She had decided right after leaving her burning home she wouldn't be that girl anymore. She would be someone new. She was Annabella now. Anna wouldn't do anything like that. Anna was a new person. Anna hadn't killed anyone. She hadn't killed anyone. No, that was Sara who had done the deed. But even then, all the lights about her hotel room flickered widely and busted, things about her room, including her bed levitating.<br/><br/>She clawed at her pillow, ripping them by accident with her finger nails in attempt to clam and sooth herself. It didn't help. Her screams continued to flow from her and into the pillow, and the more she screams, the more things in the hotel room broke. The things that floated about grew faster in speed and soon it was like a mad whirlwind of energy all around her, mimicking the swirl of emotions she was feeling in that moment, and would surely feel more and more of the longer she thought about what had happened merely hours earlier."
10736,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-11 18:47:00,Justric,"It was... cold. At least, if there was any name to give to the sensation that would be it: cold. A dry freezing where nothing moved nor lived because it was all, in fact... nothing. It was the first thing he became aware of, this absence of anything else including any true awareness of self. That came a few minutes (hours, days, years?) later when he did focus on the masculinity. It was a dim realization. Everything was in a fog for him, distant and intangible while still managing to obscure even his image of self. Self. Who was he?? A young man, scrawny in build with a thatch of unruly blond hair and ash blue eyes, and with a plain but honest face. Just another face, he had always thought, one that you'd never pick out from the crowd even if he'd had a crowd to stand in. He remembered loneliness, then. A long line of loneliness and self mutilation on his pipe cleaner biceps to give him some sense of control over his life; it was pain, but it had been his pain, not the pain received at the hands and belts and tongues of others. But then... there had been a moment... just a few oh-so-short days... where everything was different.<br/><br/>Someone was shouting something just then. No, not shouting but crying! It was name over and over again, name that stirred recollections: James. James Chandler. It was his name. Only why was this person crying it so, and for that matter why was she crying at all? He could hear her quite clearly now, so obviously he must be close by to her.<br/><br/>Her. It was about a girl. No, that wasn't quite right, it was a young woman. Shy, awkward, innocent, naive, frightened. Those were words that helped to form an image in his mind, clarifying it all the more he concentrated on them. Yes, those words applied, only there were so many others that drowned those first few out! Charming, pretty, honest, loving, kind, empathetic, understanding... the list went on from there. As that list went on, James discovered a form of warmth. It was like swimming against a current in darkness to reach a far, distant shore where someone waited for him, wanted him.<br/><br/>Sara. It was Sara who was sobbing and yelling. He grabbed that thought like a lifeline to pull himself up and out of the nothingness and into-<br/><br/>It was a hotel room, nighttime. James was having a hard time reconciling how he had come to be there, his memories faint and indistinct. He was feeling indistinct himself, as though he was walking through some twisted dream where everything was real except for him. Even his thoughts had a peculiar echo to them. It was surprising to find himself dressed as he did normally: untucked flannel shirt, second hand jeans, tough black workbooks that never quite fit his large feet right... James oddly thought he should still be dressed in his rented tuxedo! Still? Had there been an occasion to wear a black tux?? Some dark memory, something he couldn't quite bring to the forefront of his consciousness hinted that there had been and he was better off not knowing about it.<br/><br/>The room was filled with flying bits of feather and foam, a cyclone of power that centered around the figure in the bed. There was more to it, though. He could see flashes of blue and green energies within that miniature maelstrom, and those flashes of power seemed far more solid and real to him than anything else. Oddly enough, he wasn't afraid. He wasn't really... anything. Curious, perhaps, but that was all. The lack of emotion also was curious, and the more he dwelt on that topic the more emotions slowly trudged forward reluctantly for him to call upon.<br/><br/>Cocking his head (Head? He had a head? Why did seem so strange to have one?), he hovered near the bed as he watched her rant in bursts of raw emotion and power that he somehow envied. Had James looked down, that same curiosity as before would have arisen at the fact that his feet did not seem to quite touch the cheap carpeting. Right now Sara was far more important... for some reason.... and he focused instead on her.<br/><br/>""Sara?""<br/><br/>Why did his voice come out as such a pitiful whisper? It was almost like a whimper, if anything else! James grew disgusted with himself, an emotional state that was incredibly familiar now that he had a grasp of it again. Summoning his all, he tried again.<br/><br/>""Sara?"" A little better, but not much. He could only hope that she could hear him. ""Where are we? And why is it so cold, Sara? Why is it so very, very cold?"""
10737,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-11 23:53:00,AHeartlessNobody,"Anna wasn't all too aware when he spoke her name the first time. The voice reached her ears, but that was all. There was no comprehension of it.The only thing that remained on her mind at that moment was the horrible memories that flashed before her eyes, making her scream louder. She just wanted those horrible feeling to go away. She didn't want to feel like a monster. Did killing all those people....killing her mother...did that make her a monster? Maybe her mother had been right. Maybe she was a witch who needed to burn in hell. She sobbed in between her screams, and as she knelled there on her bed, her face buried against the pillow, to muffle her own frightened sounds, she heard the sweetest and softest voice, and this time, the voice reached her through her meltdown. Everything in the air suddenly froze in place, just hovering there for a moment, before it all dropped to the floor in loud thuds and smashes, the mattress falling to the floor with both of them still on it.<br/><br/>Anna slowly sat up on the mattress, eyes wide and tear filled as she looked to see none other than James. Different emotions swept through Anna and that was present on her face. Sadness, regret, anger, happiness. With a trembling hand, she reached out, brushing some of his blonde hair from his face as she had down so many times before, only this time she didn't do it teasingly. She did it as if to really see if he was real. The hand that brushed his hair away, moved slowly to let her fingertips run across his cheek and she found he was solid. He was here, and he was in front of her.<br/><br/>She in that instant threw her arms around him, hugging herself tightly to him, her hands clinging at the fabric of his shirt, as if she were afraid he was disappear if she didn't do so. Sobs mixed with a relieved laughter racked through her body, ""I....It is you....James...you're ali--"" She stopped mid sentence, feeling something strange and pulled back to look at him and it was then that she noticed something....odd about him. He was hovering, and definitely not due to her powers. She looked at him, shocked and confused, trying to piece together what exactly was going on. He couldn't do that before. So why was it now that was going on?<br/><br/>She didn't even have to think another moment because she knew the answer. He wasn't alive as she had thought moments ago. He was dead. This was either something she was imagining or he was some sort of a....ghost in a way. And since she didn't think she was imagining him, as she had hugged him, she was going with the ghost idea.<br/><br/>With her mind swirling with this new information, things in the room began to levitate again as if in sync with the changing of her emotions. As the things around the room began moving about quickly and the mattress lifted up from the floor again., She couldn't concentrate on just one certain item. They all moved about in speratic ways, some things even smashing against the walls. Thats when a lamp brushed passed her, barely missing her on head and going to hit James in the head. A small squeak of fright escape her and jolted forward, as if ready to push him out of the way of the object, but she was too slow. The lamp hit him and....went right through him. She froze, lowering herself to sit back down and the objects around thing, still floating, at least slowed down, gliding harmlessly threw the air.<br/><br/>She sat there on the floating mattress trembling, curling up there with her knees curled to her chest, eyes wide with the fear of herself, her hands nervously scratching at the skin of her arms, drawing blood in the process. She was hyperventilating slightly, speaking quietly in barely a whisper in between her gasps of breath, T-This is all my fault......James.....I'm so sorry....they wouldn't have pranked you if it weren't for me.....that bucket wouldn't have hit your head......its my fault you're like this....."" She whispered.The hand that scratched at her skin now scratched harder, smearing blood over her arm, she herself unaware she was even doing this."
10738,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-12 00:55:00,Justric,"It felt good to have her in his arms. Sara felt... alive! That was the word! Alive! It was a warmth he found strangely absent in himself and he wanted to cling to it tenaciously. It was also nice to physically feel something, as well! James still could not piece things together in his mind but had come to the realization that very few things felt... real. Only why did she looked so confused, so frightened? Something had obviously terrified her. While she seemed happy to see him at first, Sara backed away to sit down as though something was horribly wrong. He didn't even notice the lamp passing through him. Her words made even less sense.<br/><br/>As she scratched at her arms and drew blood, he hurriedly knelt down before her and tried to grab her arms. Only his hands never quite connected with her arms. Was she moving that fast as to avoid him? There was something about the sight and smell of the blood that fascinated him, something that he had read about once but couldn't recall. Why was his memory such a mess right now? ""What are you talking about? What's your fault? Look, Sara, stop, just... please, stop that! Please! Listen to me!""<br/><br/>James gave up trying to catch up her hands and attempted to look her straight in the eye. ""Sara, listen! I've got something important I want to ask you, alright? I was going to wait until after the prom,"" (Wait, hadn't they already gone to the prom?) ""but now seems as good a time as any. Sara. Will you marry me?""<br/><br/>At her look he shook his head. ""No, seriously! We've been friends for years, and we've got a lot in common. Who understands us better than each other? I've loved you for... a long time now, I just... couldn't find the courage to say it until now! We can do this! After we graduate, right after we walk across the stage, we'll go to your house and grab whatever you want to bring. I've got an offer at Cornell, Sara. Cornell! You could come with me to New York, I've got a lead on a cheap apartment in Ithaca and we could... we could leave all of this behind us! Your mother, my father, all the shitheads at school. It'll be a fresh start for both of us! So what do you say? Will you marry me, Sara?"""

Not until he managed to look her straight in the eyes with a big seriousness did she stop tearing at her skin to listen to him. And what he said both shocked her and saddened her at the same time. They could have had this together. He was going to ask her after prom. They could have gotten married and went off to start a new life together. But now they couldn't have that. They could never have the marriage both of them apparently desired. After all, she couldn't marry someone who was dead. She loved him. She loved him more than anyone and anything in the whole world, but she couldn't exactly go to a court house and saw she wanted to marry someone who didn't technically exist anymore on anything other than a death certificate.<br/><br/>He had it all planned out. Now he couldn't go through with those plans. It hurt her to know that. He had worked so hard and had suffered just as much from his dad as she had from her mother. Now all that suffering and hard work would be for nothing. It was too late. It was too late for him to go after his dreams. And it was too late for them. They had waited too long to tell each other they loved one another. Why hadn't she spoken up sooner? What she wouldn't give to go back in time and tell him how she felt before all of this. To stop them from going to the prom. Then they wouldn't have any problems. And everything would be fine.<br/><br/>Anna reached over and gently took her face in his hands, concentrating her powers so she could do so, and kissed him gently before puling back, tears streaming down her face, ""I'm not Sara anymore, James. Sara did so many horrible things. I don't want to be that monster. I'm Anna now."" She took a deep breath, a pained look on her face, ""And...I.....I can't marry you James...because.....you're dead."""

She may as well have said he was purple or a llama for all the sense it made to him. Dead? It didn't make any sense at all!<br/><br/>""What?"" he gasped in astonishment. ""What are you talking about? What horrible things?"" There game a glint of understanding in his eyes, and he shook his head while holding up both hands as if in protest. ""Is this some guilt trip your mother put you on, us spending time together being a sin or something? Crap, she found out about us in the classroom, didn't she? Well... Fuck her! It's none of her business! Look, I know we should have used protection but we both got caught up in the moment and the chances of-""<br/><br/>Memories started to finally slide into place. James paused. A frown flickered across his face as he tried again to reconcile the timing of events... They HAD been at the prom. Hadn't they? He and Sara had danced, he was sure of that because it had been a slow dance to some song from the 50's. That was the problem with letting the school janitor be the school's DJ. ""Devil or Angel"" was playing and they were swaying together in time to the music because neither one of them knew how to actually dance, and then they had kissed. She had led them off after a few lights popped for no reason. That's right, they WERE at the prom! They snuck out and gave each other to one another in the science lab, right up on one of the lab counters. It had been all fumbling and mistakes and apologies and giggling as they worked it all out, and while the experience was quick for both of them it was definitely memorable! Not just the sex, but also the confessions, she as to her powers and him as to his love for her. So how had he forgotten? And what had happened afterwards?<br/><br/>There were flashes, hints of what followed. James spoke hesitantly then, trying to use verbal cues to connect the dots. ""We... went back afterwards, didn't we? Back to the prom. And... something about the King and Queen?"" Looking up at her with confused eyes and a mouth slightly agape, he tried to soldier onwards. ""Only... something happened... They pranked us. Blood. Somehow... they doused us in blood."" More flashbacks, scenes of a nasty video depicting Sara in a panic within the shower room, being taunted and mocked in her nakedness as she bled. That truly despicable moment had been shared with the entirety of the prom-goers and teachers, and he had... he had been about to pull her off the stage and out the nearest exit only...<br/><br/>Blood. It all kept coming back to blood somehow: blood in the shower room, blood from his self-mutilation, blood from the prom, blood on her arms now. As he knelt there, the back of his head felt curiously damp. A trickle of something wet was running down the back of his neck. Sweat? His mind was still not making all the connections it needed to yet.<br/><br/>""Sara?"" No, she had said to call her something else, and James could never deny her anything. ""Anna? Anna, what happened? After... And why can't I remember?""<br/><br/>The look on his face was truly pitiable as he looked up into her teary eyes for answers."
10741,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-12 15:33:00,AHeartlessNobody,"""No, this isn't about something my mother said....well it kind of is, but that's not why I can't marry you."" Her voice was cracking now, tears running down her face. He seemed to pause, thinking about something before he continued on to say what he happened at the prom. Only he couldn't remember what happened after they both drenched in blood. It was a good thing too. Because what happened was a massacre. She wouldn't have wanted him to see or remember that side of her. Or that side of her that had once been her anyway. That had been Sara. She was Anna now. She continued to tell herself that. That she hadn't been the one to do all those horrid things. It had been another girl completely separate from her. And yet, it didn't help, because she knew she had done it, and nothing could take that back.<br/><br/>Her sad blue eyes looked back to him and his pitiful look made this all the more harder. Feeling the need to comfort him, she leaned forward, pressing a kiss softly to his lips before closed her eyes to calm herself, and when opened her eyes again a moment later to look at him, a pained look was on her face, tears streaming down her cheeks once again, ""We were soaked in blood. They were playing that video and you grabbed my hand, I guess to try and take me away from there but....the bucket that had poured the blood on us fell..... I saw you hit in the head.You were dead, James. I...I lost it. I couldn't help it."" She looked t her trembling hands, ""My powers snapped just as much as I did. I wasn't myself. I....I killed them. Every single one of them. I crushed them. Cut them. Threw them against walls. And worse, I enjoyed it. At the time I enjoyed getting back at the for everything they had done to us. I felt like they all deserved death because they had brought it upon you.""<br/><br/>She sat up again, wrapping her arms around herself, taking deep breaths, struggling to control her emotions and her powers at the same time. She wasn't even sure how she felt about it anymore.She hated the people she had killed. And at the same time she felt bad that she killed them. And even more so, she feared herself. She had never known she was capable of so much destruction. Capable to killing and torturing people in such ways. She took another shaky breath, rocking back and forth slightly now in nervousness and fear of the memories, ""I took my time.....with the ones that tortured us most....especially Christine. She's the one who planned the blood prank. The one who dropped the bucket on your head. I killed her the slowest.""<br/><br/>She refused to look at him by now. She feared his reaction. Feared he would think the same thing as her mother. That she was a monster. That she deserved to die even more than those people in the school. She moved a hand to her mouth to muffle the sobs that escaped her now, ""After that, they were all dead. I went inside and washed all the blood off of me....but....but it didn't help."" She frantically moved her hands to her ears, ""I could still hear their screams. I knew I killed all those people and nothing can change that."" She was sobbing more now, her whole body trembling, ""When I got out of the bath, momma found me. I thought she was okay, that she wanted to help me....but.....but she didn't.....she stabbed me James. She called me a witch and said I needed to go back to hell. She tried to kill me."" She could still feel the pain in her back from her the knife had entered her. It wasn't a dire wound, but it still hurt like hell, ""I didn't know what to do...I was so scared...I....I.....I killed momma....."" She sobbed more now, curling up there."
10742,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-13 21:34:00,Justric,"James could only blink in bewilderment as she confessed to everything that happened after his... death. Sara had killed all of them, all of the people who had made their lives a living hell for the past several years. And her mother, too. Searching his own soul for any sort of emotional response, all he could find was a savage satisfaction. Revenge. Revenge had been served! True, it had taken his death for it to come about, but what was done was done! James still wasn't quite sure how he felt about having been killed himself, although he sensed a rising bitterness about the whole thing that further enflamed the savage acceptance of all those deaths. A hundred and fifty-some students, a handful of teachers and chaperones that failed to protect James and Sara and her witch of a mother?<br/><br/>""Good,"" he finally said distantly. Then with a great deal more force, ""Good!""<br/><br/>He knelt down before her on the mattress (how had he gotten there?) and tried to look into her eyes again. ""Anna? Listen to me. It's good that they're dead. D'you understand? Can you think of anyone who deserved to die more?! How many years did they... did they hate us? How many times did they beat us and tease us and put us down like we were less than human? And what did we ever do to them, huh?! What did you and I ever do to deserve<i>that</i>?! And the ones who didn't bully us? They were just as fucking guilty. They could have stepped in at any time to help us out, but no! No, they just shook their heads and looked the other way. Sometimes they laughed, too, I saw them. I'm glad you killed them! Not just for us, but for society as well! Can you imagine them out in the real world? How many people's lives and spirits they would have crushed and broken over the years? Maybe you didn't plan it, but it sure as fuck couldn't have happened to more deserving assholes.""<br/><br/>""And your mother?"" James snorted hatefully. ""What love did she ever show you? Cramming you into that God forsaken closet all the time? And you know how much of the Bible she twisted? Seriously? Shit, my father thought the Bible was only good for hitting me with, but even I know your mother used it to keep you afraid and weak. She was a manipulative hag who was nothing but ignorant and deranged. She was sick, Anna. Sick in the head and sick in the heart, and you should be glad to be fucking rid of her. I only wish you had offed my old man in the bargain!""<br/><br/>James shook his head violently, ghostly jaw firmly clenched in anger and a frightful snarl on his face. ""If you need to be Anna, then be Anna. I love you whatever you call yourself, and that's not going to change. But don't feel bad about what you did. You didn't kill people. You put down a bunch of animals that would have just spread their fucking poison around even more after graduation.""<br/><br/>Reaching up, he tried to take her in his arms to give what comfort he could then. To his horror, James found that his hands passed right through her as though she wasn't there at all. He blinked again in surprise as he drew back to stare at the offending limbs. She had touched him, kissed him. He had felt it! It had been a mix of love, tenderness and a sweet, sweet warmth that had briefly staved off the freezing blight that both surrounded and filled his core at the same time. ""I can't touch you,"" he murmured sadly, ""You can touch me... but I can't touch you...""<br/><br/>He only let that self pity last for a moment. It was a nightmare of a realization that not only was he dead, but that he couldn't touch the woman he loved anymore. It was... so unfair! James shook it off for now, focusing instead on Anna's needs.<br/><br/>""I'm dead. Fine."" He held out his arms for her to take them if she wished. ""But I'm still here, Anna, with you. I don't know how or why or if this was supposed to happen, but we're still together. I still love you and I won't leave you.""<br/><br/>""Ever."""
10743,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-16 18:57:00,AHeartlessNobody,"Anna looked up at him with tears still in her eyes as he spoke to her, telling her how he felt about her killing off all of those people. He, to her surprise, was okay with it. Glad she had done that to them even. He was convincing her that the people she had killed were the monsters in this situation, not her. And slowly, she began to see his reasoning. They had caused so much pain toward she and James. Maybe to even more people neither of them knew of. Now that they were dead and gone, they couldn't cause that pain to them or anyone else for that matter. They were gone and it was a good thing they were. But still, they didn't change the fact that SHE had killed them. Had she been upset if they had died in some other way? No, absolutely not. She would have been just as relieved as James was right now. But because it was her that had done the deed. Because she found she had it in her to kill a living being. That was what upset her the most.<br/><br/>Carefully wiping the tears from her eyes and looking back at him, she was prepared for his hug, only to have his hands go right through her. She looked at him in surprise, a confused look on her face. She knew she could touch him, as she had done it before. She had never really thought about it that touching worked both ways. She guessed they knew now that it didn't. Moving closer to him, she wrapped her arms around him, her face buried against his neck as she relaxed there, speaking softly to him, ""It just.....it scares me James....I never would have thought I would ever have it in me to kill a person....what if it happens again? What if I kill someone with my powers who doesn't deserve to die like those people did?""<br/><br/>She was sure she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she did. She could already barely stand it that James was dead now because of her. They had poured that blood on them because of her. If it hadn't been for that, then that bucket wouldn't have landed on his head and he wouldn't be dead. In a way now, it was her fault he was dead. She couldn't help but blame herself for it. Holding herself tighter to him, she kissed him once again before burying her face against the front of his shirt, ""I'm sorry James....that this happened to you....They wouldn't have done that to you if it hadn't been for me...."""
10744,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-17 03:59:00,Justric,"He didn't have answers for her right then. James had ideas, certainly! Anna needed to train somehow, to practice so she could gain control and discipline her powers. Right now they were too tied to her emotions, and that could lead to serious difficulties in the near future if they didn't find a way to curb it. James was fairly positive that her emotions were the power behind her abilities, that the stronger the emotions then the stronger her talents would manifest themselves; only she needed to find a way to focus that power and channel it at her will. He needed to do what he was best at: research. He also had to figure out how he was going to do that research when he could't touch anything...<br/><br/>The feel of her again his corpus was heavenly, a warm summer's breeze that chased away the cold that continually surrounded and filled him. He closed his own eyes, only to realize that he could still see anyway. It was all... an illusion, he realized. His body, his clothes, his voice... These were things that didn't really exist while still managing to cling tenacious to his soul, a memory of what he had been that still clung to him. Was this what ghostly life was like? Were there other ghosts? Or was he some twisted manifestation of her powers, trapped by Anna unintentionally. There was another possibility, his mind whispered to him, a horrifying idea that he could only pray was only a passing fancy.<br/><br/>What if he wasn't James at all? What if he was only a memory of Anna's given awareness by those very same powers that killed everyone else?<br/><br/>He violently pushed that fear away, concentrating instead on awkwardly trying to hold what he couldn't touch. Anna needed comfort more than he did right now anyway. Besides, he was dead. What comfort could there really be for him?? Obviously Heaven was not an immediate option and Hell was thankfully not present either. ""No,"" he whispered back soothingly, ""It's not your fault. They'd been killing me for years even before I even met you, Anna. All they did was finish the job.""<br/><br/>A thought struck him then, causing him to laugh bitterly. ""Fuck. You know... all those times I wished I was dead? All those times I failed to kill myself? All those times you and I talked about what it would be like to be dead so we wouldn't suffer anymore? And just when everything was finally looking up... Poof."" James fell silent in her embrace, sorting through the emotions that began to wake up and war within him. ""It's not like what we talked about, you know? Remember how we always hoped it would be like a long, sleep where nothing could touch us or disturb us ever again? It's not like that at all, Anna. Now I'm nothing but awake. It's like I've forgotten how to sleep. I don't think I can sleep. There's no escape from everything, no downtime, I don't think. I'm like a lightbulb that's always on but can't turn off.""<br/><br/>He pulled back out of her arms to look at her, and then found to his surprise that he *could* pull back! For a moment, he had felt tangible resistance in the motion. ""What the-?""<br/><br/>Looking down at himself and then back at her, his eyes grew wide. ""Anna? Where's the blood? On your arms, you were scratching yourself up and bleeding and now..."" Sure enough, her arms were clear of blood now. While the furrows that she had rent into her own flesh were still painfully visible, they were dried and weeping a healing plasma now instead of streaking bright red. Her self inflicted wounds weren't healed or closed by any definition of the word, not even scabbed over, but they were certainly not bleeding anymore. A thought that had escaped James' attention earlier returned as he stared at her forearms. Blood, something about blood. It always came back to blood, he remembered, and now here Anna was with arms as clean as though she had washed them and him slightly tangible just for a moment."
10745,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-22 02:24:00,AHeartlessNobody,"Anna listened to him as he spoke. About how he was always awake now and couldn't sleep, very much unlike their hopes of it being a long peaceful sleep where nothing and no one could bother them. There had been times indeed where she thought about killing herself, in attempt to reach what she thought was a good long sleep, but she never did. She had always been so reluctant too because she didn't want to leave James behind all by himself. And now James was dead. The irony of it was something that hurt. But, at least he was here with her for now. Neither of them were alone just yet. They still had each other for the time being, and she hoped that it stayed that way for a long time.<br/><br/>When he pulled back, she was confused at his, having thought that he couldn't even touch her. Yet here he was touching her. She blinked in surprise and looked down at her arms to see the blood was gone and grew even more bewildered at this. She looked back at him. He had something to do with this. There was some connection between him and blood. If she had to make a guess, she would have to say somehow her blood(or any blood could for all she knew) had made him able to touch and feel. She looked between him and her arm for a moment before she turned and crawled out of the bed.<br/><br/>Moving toward her bag she picked it up and walked back to the bed, pouring its constants onto the comforter. Among the every day things was a small pocket knife. James had given it to her a few years ago after finding out she walked home from school(and after finding out how crazy her mother was). She picked up the knife and flipped it open, speaking as she drew a slightly deep cut into her arm next to the other now clean scratches, watching as blood oozed out from the fresh gash, ""James, I think I know how to fix your 'ghostly' problem. I think...I think blood makes it so you can touch things."" She set the knife down and held out her bleeding arm to him, ""We won't know if its true until we test that theory."" When he seemed hesitant she sighed, looking at him, ""If you don't then I've cut myself for no reason James."""
10746,Saving Anna,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-23 23:59:00,Justric,"James was not sure which puzzled him more: the conspicuous absence of blood from Anna's recent wounds or the alacrity with which she snatched up her purse to dump it contents out across the bed. What was she looking for? Only when she deftly grabbed the small pocket knife to flick its blade out and score her arm, he winced. It was only a small knife, true, but he had honed it to razor sharpness for her and watching her tender flesh part beneath that keen edge was somehow more terrifying than anything else he had experience that night. Considering he was dead, that was saying something. He had no real memory of his death or of the events that had followed, true, only his world view was that the mass murder of a hundred and some people should outweigh the shock of seeing a girl gash her arm open out of love. Should. It didn't.<br/><br/>At first principles, Anna's idea had merit. Her blood was gone, and he had become ever so slightly more tangible at the same time as its disappearance. The sight of his love now offering up her life's blood from a self-inflicted wound made him grimace and lean away, grimacing at the very thought that she would hurt herself for him. That, and even though something was tugging at his memory, it seemed like something out of a turgid vampire novella. ""What?"" he gasped in horror his hands held out before him in protest, ""Am I supposed to drink that or...""<br/><br/>Through his fear and disgust, James could feel the cold in him stir. It was the first thing he could claim he truly felt at all, the rise of his essence as the warm, bright blood called out to him. It was then that the folktales he'd read in the town library answered his confusion. His crack about vampires hadn't been all that far off, he realized. Vampires and other undead creatures craved blood not for sustenance to fill their bodies but to steal life back. Only living things truly bled and the restless dead sought out that precious vitae to push away the cold and gain even just a memory of life. Japanese ghosts were almost always described as hungry. In Caribbean cultures and spiritual practices, the spirits of the dead were summoned with rum, candy and blood. Even in badly scripted movies and cheap fantasy novels, blood sacrifices brought spirits to life and called forth gods and demons alike. In his rational and logical mindset, James had always dismissed these notions as literary gimmicks or quaint cultural stories to be read for amusement. Now, with the input of this new and very personal data, he began to make the connections.<br/><br/>He reached out tentatively to lay what he perceived of as his fingers upon her arms, the ghostly tips dipping into the oozing blood. A touch that began gingerly soon became very, very solid. The heat of it rushed in to fill that core of cold that was central to his current existence. It was more than warmth; it was pleasure. Pleasure at feeling alive again, even if only for a few precious moments. The bleeding quickly stopped as his incorporeal form sopped it eagerly, leaving her arm clean if cut. James could sense that the warmth he had been granted would not last long, that he would quickly revert back to being intangible save at her will. How long did he have? Minutes? Seconds? More importantly, was there any food to be had, for he found that just as had been portrayed in that idiotic pirate movie by Disney, he craved the taste of an apple or a even a drink of water! With nothing in sight, he looked down at the hotel sheets. Closing his eyes, he removed his fingers from her arm to lightly touch the fabric.<br/><br/>It was nothing more than cheap, mass produced cloth suitable only for hotels of dubious quality. The fabric was worn thin from use and thousands of washings and bleachings. In fact, he could smell the bleach faintly upon them still! It was a harsh, caustic odor that ate at the nose and wrinkled the brow and he LOVED it! Every single thread could be felt in that small circle beneath his forefinger. James could make out exactly how they were woven together, crossing over and around and it was GLORIOUS! This ragged, ill used sheet that in its time had no doubt been slept upon, eaten upon, screw upon, bled upon, shat upon, pissed upon was REAL, almost overwhelmingly so! Had he been still alive, he doubted he would have noticed or even cared about the sheet save for a faint hope it had been washed really well. Now that he was dead, he was realizing exactly how much the living took for granted.<br/><br/>It was only a few moments that passed before the sensation began to quickly fade. It didn't last nearly long enough, and in desperation James could only hope it lasted long enough for one quick thing: he looked up to lean in close to Anna, his lips finding hers hastily to snatch a loving kiss before he faded back into the cold oblivion of nothingness. The touch of his mouth upon hers vanished only a second after contact with her oh-so-soft lips, the smell of her making him heady even as smell vanished altogether. In that second, he savored the taste of her. He had never thought of people having taste before; not in regards to eating or devouring people, but moreover in the realization that just as people could smell or look or sound in such and such a way, they could also have a flavor to them that was uniquely their own.<br/><br/>And then it was gone. Even the memory of that precious, brief instant that had just occurred faded a little to make him wonder. James could only recall that she had a taste, the sheets had a smell and the blood had felt wondrous within him... but the details of it were gone. He simply knew these things existed now, as though he had read them in a book but never experience them. Only there was this yearning to feel them all again.<br/><br/>And more.<br/><br/>For now, though, James controlled himself. Sighing, he shook his head. ""We're gonna need a lot more blood if that's going to work, Anna. Let's just... think on that a bit, alright?"" With a pleading look, he held his hands out to her in supplication. ""And please don't slice yourself up like that again without warning me first?""<br/><br/><i>'Cause I don't know what I'll do if you offer me more, Anna.</i>The words were unspoken but hung in the air all the same.<br/><br/>Looking around the shattered remains of the hotel room, he pursed his lips as he steeled himself to keep calm. No doubt the hotel owners were not going to be happy come the morning. Not that he really cared himself, for after all there was little they could do to him. Only all of Anna's plans could be in jeopardy if they called the cops on her. Thinking of plans, he then asked, ""So what now? Were you headed somewhere specific or did you have any ideas in mind?"" He chuckled quietly as he surveyed the destruction. ""I know we used to joke about all the places we'd run away to as kids: the circus, Disneyland, England, Alaska. Then there was that carrousel museum, the puppet show, the zoo. Ah... I'd rather skip that one church with all the skulls in Europe, if you don't mind though. Hits a little too close to home right now."""
10747,Saving Anna,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-11 15:25:00,AHeartlessNobody,"Name: Annabella McClain(her real name is Sara McCrady, but she changes it after she leaves town for multiple reasons. This could possibly cause problems for James if he accidentally calls her Sara when she now thinks of herself as Anna).<br/>Age: 19<br/>Bio: Anna grew up a normal girl living life under her overly religious mother. All of her life, her mother did almost nothing but criticize her, spit scripture at her, and force her to go into the 'prayer closet' for hours if she did anything her mother thought was wrong or 'sinful'. She was home schooled up until sixth grade when the school board of the district had it ordered she attend public school. The moment she set foot into public school, she was immediately targeted by the popular crowd and constantly put down by everyone in the school. She was shy and awkward, not leaving much room for her to make friends. But, there was one friend. James. He was unpopular like herself and the two just seemed to click. The two stuck together like glue and never left each other's sides when they were at school. Though her mother always ordered her to come straight home from school she would sometimes come home late and face the consequences or even risk sneaking out at night just to go hang out with him. They went on through the years like this. He was everything to her, the only thing she looked forward to in her sad life.<br/><br/>When she turned 16, something horrible happened to her. Her period. Her unstable mother had never told her about a period, nor had she ever even learned what one was. Her only thoughts she could possibly go to was that something was terribly wrong and that she was bleeding to death in the shower of the girl's locker room at school. In her mad scramble to find someone to help her, the other girls int he locker room did nothing but call her a freak and chant at her to 'plug it up' while cruelly throwing tampons and pads at her, even video taping the incident.as she laid on the floor crying and begging for someone to help her. With the video uploaded to the internet and spreading all over school, Anna's life became all the more miserable. She skipped most of her classes, spending her time hidden away in the library, sometimes alone, sometimes joined by James who would comfort her and cheer her up. Time passed, and some forgot the incident, while others continued to bash on her for it. She eventually got the courage, thanks to James, to go back to her classes. It wasn't too long after the incident though, that Anna noticed a huge change in her life.<br/><br/>Strange things had started happening to her. A light bulb bursting here and there. Objects suddenly being knocked over even though she never laid a finger on them. It wasn't until the mirror in the girls bathroom she had been looking into shattered that she realized what was going on. She had powers. Amazing powers. She could move and control objects. It was in this realization that Anna felt....special. Unique. Like she had finally accomplished something. She worked and worked at her powers, slowly learning to control them and make them stronger. And it remained a secret. She didn't want anyone to know. Especially her mother. Her mother was already so close to the edge, she knew if the woman ever found out, she might do something horrible to her. Another school year passed, and soon approached senior prom. She of course, hadn't been asked, but thankfully neither had James. So, it would be only natural that the two decide to just go together. She worked in secret, locked away up her room while her mother was at work, sewing her own<a href=""http://www.dhresource.com/albu_100705057_00-1.0x0/2011new-style-beautiful-prom-dresses-cocktail.jpg"">dress</a>. And finally, when the faithful day came, she told her mother she was going to the prom. Her mother of course disagreed and told her it wasn't right, and that going to such an affair and wearing something so unmodest as the dress she had made was a great sin. Her mother then tried to force her into the prayer closet, but this time, Anna was not going to comply. She wanted to go to prom, to have this one night. In a rash move, Anna used her powers on her mother, lifting her in the air and putting her in the closet, and locking it, as well as scorching the lock into place to keep her from breaking out. It was then, that Anna got ready. She fixed her own hair, did her own makeup, put on her dress. She looked like a new person.<br/><br/>That night, James picked her up and the two went to the prom, enjoying everything and having a good time. It was during a slow dance though that things thickened for Anna. With she and James being so close together, it wasn't hard to guess something might happen between them, and it did. He kissed her. And in just that kiss, two of the lights in the prom burst. Everyone chalked it up to bad electrical issues, but Anna knew if the two of them were to continue their little romance, they would have to go somewhere more secluded. So, she took him down the hall of the school and the two of them snuck into one of the classrooms, where Anna finally told him of her powers. He was surprisingly accepting of it, and even said he suspected something of that sort, having seen certain clues that lead to that. He told her it didn't matter and he loved her with or without the powers. In hearing he say such a thing, the emotional Anna kissed him again and they did something the two of them had never thought they would do together, much less in a classroom at school.<br/><br/>After that was over, the two went back to the prom, over joyed with their new found romance together. They sat down with all the other students as the people who put the prom together went up on the stage to announce who had won prom king and queen, only to be all together shocked and confused. She and James had won. The new dazed couple walked up to the stage, accepting their crowns and in their last moment of happiness, shared a kiss on the stage together. But, the moment after their lips touched, they were showered from above by none other then a bucket of blood, the horrible video of her terrified moment in the ladies locker room playing over head on the projectors as the crowd laughed and chanted just as the girls in that locker room had all that time ago. This upset her, but this wasn't what set her off. The hard metal bucket from above broke off its rope, falling and hitting James on the head. The room fell silent as he fell to the ground and Anna frantically knelt beside him, trying to wake him up, but couldn't. The moment Anna came to the conclusion James was dead(or so she thought anyway), something inside of the girl snapped. The lights over head exploded, showering everyone in glass and things int he room began flying. She mentally locked the doors, and killed them all in different ways she saw fit. With the deed done she left.<br/><br/>She wasn't sure what time the police arrived, or even when someone discovered the massacre, but no one would ever know it was her. She had made sure of that. She hadn't physically touched a single person, nor had she left a single pice of evidence linking her to the massacre. She had made sure of that.<br/><br/>With the deed done, she left and went home. She entered her home to find something terrifying. Her mother had broken out of the<a href=""https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d6RAON7Id48/UmyjUXc7jXI/AAAAAAAAR7Y/sPdNg4jVRpg/s1600/in+the+closet.jpg"">closet</a>. The woods had literally been ripped apart from it.<br/><br/>She went around the house, searching for her mother, and unable to find her, went into the bathroom to wash the blood off of her. She became frantic and hysterical at the sight of all blood, both animal(from the bucket of blood) and of the humans she had killed and quickly washed it off of her, crying and screaming the whole time. When she was free of the blood, Anna left the bathroom, in a fresh change of clothes and in walking out, found her mother standing there. In search for comfort from her mother, she ran up, hugging her. Her mother for once seemed relatively calm and offered that the two of them kneel and pray. So, Anna agreed, kneeling with her mother hugging her. Only her mother didn't want to pray. Her mother stabbed her in the back with a knife. There was a struggle between the two, her mother yelling at her, calling her a sinner and a witch, and in a last attempt to save her life, Anna summoned with her powers any sharp objects she could think of that layed about the house. A dozen knives and scissors came up from their spots that had been laying and impaled her mother, pinning her to the wall. Even more hysterical and frightened now that she had not only killed her classmates, but now her own mother, Anna did the only things she could do. She packed up anything she could find and stealing her mother's car keys and any money and credit cards she could find, set the house a flame and left.<br/>Appearance:<br/><img src=""http://www.andreialbu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/blonda-frumoasa-cu-par-lung.jpg""/><br/>Other: If you haven't noticed by now, Anna is not too mentally stable XD As crazy as it may seem, she has a few momentos from her past, locked away in a secret place in her apartment. The momentos include James's glasses(which she had took from his face when checking his head wound at the prom and had kept in her hand during the attack, as well as carried home with her), the still bloodied prom queen crown, a cross necklace her mother had worn, and the cell phone of one of her peers(the one who took the video of her in the locker room. the video is still on the phone)."
10748,Saving Anna,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-12 00:14:00,Justric,"Name: James Chandler<br/><br/>Age: 18<br/><br/>Bio: James had little luck in life from the outset. His mother absent since just after his birth and his father a drunken auto-mechanic, he was both a reminder of said father's mistakes and nothing of what he had ever wanted in a son. Whereas his father was a powerhouse of a man with a thick torso and heavy paunch, James was scrawny and mild mannered from earliest days. There were no relative to take shelter with, no other family at hand to question the belt-wide bruises across his body and back. Even teachers at school tended to look the other way, for while James was certainly one of their brightest pupils he was also one of the oddest. It wasn't just a matter of his favorite foods, which consisted of ketchup and pickle relish sandwiches and milk flavored with curry powder. There was just something... off... about him. Perhaps it was the way he would stare at people others with a curious if innocent intensity, like people were puzzles to be figured out. In elementary school, his habit of answering correctly almost any questions put before him combined with consistently challenging back with his own questions earned him no amount of teasing from his peers. Skinny little know it all Jimmy. ""Jimmy."" How he hated that name! Jimmy was the name of schlocky comedians and bad actors. As far as he was concerned, he was James. Like James Monroe or James May or Professor James Moriarty or any of the hundreds of historical and literary figures he had come to revere.<br/><br/>By the time middle school had rolled around, the teasing had turned into bullying. He retreated further and further into his own world to escape the abuse from both his father and from his schoolmates. And what a world it was! James had developed a passion for science fiction and fantasy, compounded with a love of history. He found escape in writing and reading and dreaming. And then he discovered another way to escape the pain: cutting. After a slip caused him a paper cut, he came to realize the control it gave him. He'd heard of cutting before, of course. It was something that goth and emo kids did to both punish themselves and/or to cry for attention. That wasn't it for him. No, for James the small sliced he etched along his upper bicep were all about control. Others could hurt him and there was little he felt he could do about it; this was his, his own secret pain to covet because he could do it whenever he wished. He didn't want to be discovered, keeping the neat little cuts in areas least likely to be found. He even took great pains to make sure the nicks and slashes were kept clean and bandaged.<br/><br/>But it was also in middle school that he noticed girls. James knew he stood no chance of dating any of the popular girls and didn't even try; while their physical beauty attracted his attention, there was something about their personalities he simply could not stand. It might have had something to do with how their boyfriends tended to beat him up to amuse them. He was outside of the social pack, an exile in their midst. Lower class. Unclean. Sub-human to these bullies. James deeply desired revenge on all of them for making his life a hell. As powerless as he was, it was only a futile dream realized in short stories and near-novels that would never see the light of day. He couldn't say when it was that he noticed Sara. In many ways he was surprised he hadn't noticed a fellow outcast before. It was sometime before he worked up the courage to try and talk with the meek girl, waiting for her by her locker one day after school. As she approached, James found his normally overflowing mind completely empty. Somehow, they managed to strike up a conversation and soon were best friends. It wouldn't be correct to say that he didn't have his own ulterior motives in the relationship, and Sara featured in many of his fantasies from there on out. But they were both so meek and mild, he was too scared to actually ask her out.<br/><br/>The following years of middle school and eventual high school brought a camaraderie between them, a closeness that helped ease the loneliness in much of his life and he hoped did the same for hers. He never told her about the cutting, although he was sure she knew. James hated to be parted from her, only when his father forced him to get a job he had little choice but to comply. Forging student work papers, he managed a job at the local library; the result was another beating from his father for doing 'woman's work.' After a school fight that broke his<a href=""http://ijoey.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/broken_eyeglasses.jpg"">wire-rim glasses</a>, James begged the school shop teacher to teach him welding and solders so he could fix the frames; surely learning such a 'manly' skill would earn his father's approval? No, it resulted in yet another round of fists and the hated belt. Not only had James let an expensive (if highly outdated) pair of glasses get broken, he had let on how poor he and his father really were. He did everything he could to keep his wounds hidden from Sara, not wanting her to be burdened with his woes as she already had more than her own.<br/><br/>Their senior year had become something of a whirlwind of activity and anticipation for them both. Only a few short months and they would both be free of the school, leaving their old lives and torments behind them! He had plans, college acceptance letters and scholarships and loans and grants, all done on the sly! And she was not going to be left behind, not if he could do anything about it! He had saved all the money he had earned. James purchased his own car, an ancient but reliable mailman jeep that he fixed up himself and painted black (and for once in his life, meeting his father's grudging approval). After graduation, he was going to drive to her house like some knight to rescue her from her mother and they'd drive off together to start fresh. James had planned on asking her right after the prom, the biggest night of their senior year. He even spent the rest of his money on a new pair of black framed glasses for the occasion! That she agreed to go with him helped to solidify his plans. Everything was going to be different after the prom. During the prom, too, it turned out, as they shared their far more than just their first kiss together. When she confessed her powers, James was hardly surprised. She fit the type perfectly as described in almost every book he had ever read on the subject: teenage girl, socially outcast, retiring in nature... It was funny how both fictional accounts of such things and documented historical records agreed on such matters. After years of being her friend, he finally declared his love for her. The rest? He would save for later, after the dance. Because it seemed like after that night, anything would be possible for them.<br/><br/>When their names were announced as King and Queen of the prom, James was both startled and suspicious. They were the least popular kids in school, how the hell did they get elected?? Only Sara seemed so happy, he couldn't protest. Once on stage, there followed... something. He couldn't remember what. Something went wrong, he thinks, and remains so. If only he could put his finger on it.<br/><br/>Come to think of it, if only he could put his finger on anything...<br/><br/><img src=""http://cdn.splitsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/donavan.jpg""/>"

10765,Saving Anna,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-26 00:55:00,Justric,"Hm. Well, the Avengers RP is pretty much out; I fear I've been ""comic-booked"" to death over the years, and fanfic of that sort leaves me rather cold. The same for the football player scenario. All of my athlete characters start to blend in my mind after a bit.<br/><br/>Historical, now... I am an amateur history buff (as if the Puritan role-play we're in doesn't give you enough warning.) Here are a few ideas just to throw out at you in that vein:<br/><br/>1) The First World War - A German Zeppelin is shot down over the English countryside after a bombing run on London. The only survivor is a badly wounded airman who must depend upon the good graces of the Englishwoman who finds him and starts to care for him.<br/><br/>2) The First World War (fantasy) - A US citizen who felt he could not let Germany's atrocities go unanswered, he joins a Canadian regiment at the start of the war to find himself in France. By 1916, he's seen his share of horrors yet managed to survive. Now a sergeant, he finds himself trapped out in No Man's Land during a nighttime raid, the rest of his raiding party slaughtered. German artillery starts a barrage as a the enemy prepares to charge the English trenches and he's caught right in the middle. Then he spies a woman in white who seems completely out of place. He manages to drag her into a crater just as the shelling starts and saves her life. As the shelling stops, she abruptly vanishes. Throughout the rest of the war, she appears to him when no one else is around. They begin to form a reluctant relationship, one strained by the fact the he knows she's hiding some sort of secret. (Who she might be is left to you: time traveler from the past or future, figment of his imagination, visitor from an alternate timeline, etc...)<br/><br/>3) World War II - The Nazis complete their occupation of the Netherlands. A German Major from the Wehrmacht has been retired from the lines due to wounds (he walks with a cane), and has been given the job of co-ordinating all of the various organizations to make sure things run as cohesively as possible (Waffen-SS, Gestapo, Luftwaffe, local government officials, Dutch Nazi sympathizers, etc...) Due to staffing problems, he finds himself forced to draw upon Dutch locals to supplement his clerical pool, including a rather pretty young secretary. What he does not know is that it is her recently-deceased uncle's mansion that he has been given to as his residence and offices. What he also does not know is that she is Jewish.<br/><br/>4) Civil War Era - A ""cannaller"" and his crew on the Erie Canal become caught up with the Underground Railroad and reluctantly transport a pair of escaped slaves and their female conductor from Albany to Buffalo. While they are aware Federal marshals and slave hunters are probably on the hunt for their passengers, it seems the conductor has some forgotten to mention that she is wanted as well... and the person who wants her back will spare no expense for her return.<br/><br/>5) Prohibition - Double Dan is down on his luck. It most likely has something to do with always betting double or nothing. Having lost far more than he's won at the racetrack, he doesn't have an ever-loving dime in pocket. Not a plug nickel. Or a wooden one for that matter. After a really bad loss at Saratoga, he hoofs it to Buffalo in the hopes of placing a last bet that'll save his neck. Only, not having the scratch to place any more bets, he is forced to roam the streets and avoid being picked up by the gendarmes. When a young lady dressed to the nines is attacked in the alley he's sleeping in, he comes to her aid. Turns out, this doll is the widow of a pretty high roller, and she now owns a little speakeasy that is also down on its luck. A rival gang is making things tough for her, and she needs whomever she can get to help turn the tide. (This is sort of a cross between the webcomic Lackadaisy and the stories of Damon Runyon.)"
10766,Saving Anna,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-26 01:01:00,Justric,"Mermaid / Sailor idea - in the early 18th Century, a scholar who has lost everything he loved decides to commit suicide in the most unusual way: by stranding himself on a desert island in the Pacific. Little does he know that the island is also the central focus for a pod of mermaids! Their usual wont is to lure men into clutches, use them and then kill them (in some versions, they are cannibals as well.) Only being half-deaf, it's hard for any of them to lure him off of the island. So when one finally goes up on land to find out what the story is, she becomes puzzled at how unlike all the sailors, whalers, fishermen and so forth he is. He in turn is puzzled at what a beautiful young woman is doing out in the middle of the ocean to begin with and why is she naked?? As they both work to solve their questions about one another, the rest of the mermaid pod is getting upset that this man remains in their midst."
10767,Saving Anna,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-26 01:39:00,AHeartlessNobody,"Number 2 seems to spark my interest most.<br/><br/>Heres my ideas for a Civil War type-<br/>1. Civil War Plots(3)<br/>Andrew and Claira- Andrew and Claira have been friends since they were kids and as they grew older it became something more. The loved each other, but Claira's parents refused to agree to their relationship because Andrew was just the son of a lowly wood cutter, where as her father was a high offical of Kentucky. Even so, the two had made plans to get married secretly. But, because a tip given to her parents by one of Claira's friends, they found out. Not wanting to have their daughter married off to Andrew, they move and tae her with them up north one state to Ohio. Three years pass and the civil war starts. Andrew joins the Confederate army. Claira on the other hand tried to join as a nurse on the Union and gets denied. Despreste to help with the war, she desguises herself as a man and joins the Union arm as a solider. Though unfortinantly, during her third battle, she gots shot and wounded. Andrew, ordered by his supiorers to kill the Union survivers, goes to the feild to do as he is told and find none other then Claira.<br/>-<br/>Michael and Haily- Michael is the son of poor cotton farmers from Georgia and Haily is the daughter of a couple that pick oranges in Flordia. Both joint eh war under the confedrate army, Michael as a Solider and Haily as a nurse. When Michael is wounded, he is placed in the infirmary where Haily is put in charge of taking care of the young man, who has one small flaw. Thanks to growing up with a father who looks down on women, he does the same and seems to have nothing good to saw to the girl who is taking care of him.<br/>-<br/>Samual and Willow- Marching from battle feild to battle feild can be rather tiring. Espcially in the middle of the summer. And sleeping in tents on the ground with close to nothing dosn't make it any better. So, when you have hardly anything to drink and a well come into sight, it is a very hopeful thing. That is, until you see it is on southern farm lands. Samual, as a northern solider, at first dosn't really know what to do at first. It is either take a risk and get a drink or go thirsty for another few hours. But, he takes the risk, sneaking up to the well. Hearing footsteps though, he hides and that is when he spots beautiful Willow, the daughter of the farmers, fetching water. Setting one bucket down and turning to fill another, Sam sees his chance and sneaks out to take the bucket of water. But Willow catches him doing so and confront the young man about doing so.<br/><br/>Heres one I have based on Native Americans:<br/><br/>2. My idea was that there are two tribes at war over land because, with the Englishmen move in to the Americans, they start takig land for themselves, making good farming lands hard to come by. But to make matters worse, Tribe1 is angery with Tribe2, because to get more land, the cheif of Tribe2 married a English Woman. Years pass and the cheif of tribe 2 has a daughter who is very curious. The daughter often goes off into the woods unattended. As a child she did this, and when doing so, met a young boy around her age, maybe a few years older. She always followed him around like a lost puppy, him calling her the 'blue eyed demon' and always telling her to leave him alone, yet always protecting her when dangers came around. A year passed of them going through the woods together, going through the same things, him making fun of her blue eyes and telling her to go away, yet keeping her around and her clinging to him all the time.<br/><br/>Though, after that first year, a few warriors followed the princess into the woods and seeing her not just being around a boy from another tribe, the cheifs son, but her acting as though she was in love with the boy. The second tribe's warriors came out and at the same time so did te first tribes. They fought and the two children were snatched from each other and taken back home.<br/><br/>Twelve years passed and the childen almost completely forgot each other. The young boy, after his father's death, became cheif, and the girl became engaged to the greatest warror from her tribe.<br/><br/>Though the boy is cheif, still being in his late teens, he rebels quite a bit, going into the woods alone just to spite the elders. He hunts, not just animals, but people from he warring tribe. He every once and a while crosses onto tribe2's land and kills someone from the tribe.<br/><br/>One day while he was doing so, he sees a person and attempts to shoot them with his bow and arrow, but missed by a few inches. The person ran and he chased after them, knowing if he didn't catch them and kill them before they got back to the village they would tell their cheif and start a whole other battle. He finally catches them, dragging the person onto his lands so killing them would technechally be justified.<br/><br/>He grabbed his dagger, ready to kill her, but to his suprise this wasn't just any girl from that tribe. She was the cheif's daughter, the blue eyed girl he had once been so fond of. But it was too late to let her go because a few of his warriors found him. Unable to let her go, but not willing to kill her, he forces her back to his own village, telling his people that he's planning on using her to get her people's land, when really he just wants her around.<br/><br/>But, as if continuing like they were when they were kids, he treats her like he hates her, still calling her 'blue eyed demon' but instead of that making her want to be around him more, like he expected it to because thats how it was when they were kids, the more he is cruel to her, the more it seems to push her further from him. Now he has trouble trying to keep her close to him because he dosn't know any other way to treat her, and at the same time, her tribe is plotting to get her back.<br/><br/>Anyway, so that is the idea, but I do have an extra idea that can or can't be added. Back in those days, Natives believed everyone had a animal spirit, so what if the males in the tribe1 or both tribes could turn into their spirit animal(like a hawk, tiger, wolf, ect). Again, just an idea.<br/><br/>Heres one for Revolutionary(this ones short. I was lazy XD) :<br/>3. Basically I want it to be either that the British solider coming into one of the colonies and his the leader of his regiment forces the girls family to host the solider thanks to the quartering act. Either way, the solider falls for the girl, yet doesn't understand why she supports the Americans having their own country, which causes problems.<br/><br/>4. My mermaid idea would be that the mermaids, in order to stay young, drain a human's life. This done through, of course, kissing the human and dragging them under the water(known as the 'kiss of death'. Sometimes the mermaids will also mate with the humans before finishing them off as there are only female mermaids[in this rp anyway]). Well, a very smart Pirate Captain(who may or may not have a history with mermaids. I'll discuss that with you later if this is chosen) goes afloat in a row boat, not too far away from his ship, where a mermaid is lead to believe he will be an easy target. The mermaid lures him into a kiss, only when she drags him into the water, he manages to snap out of the magic of the kiss and places a dagger to her neck, forcing her to come up to the row boat with him, finding the mermaid's tail turns to legs when out of the water(this may or may not known by anyone until then depending on certain factors of the Captains past). The Captain forces the mermaid girl onto his ship and into his cabin wher he is determined to find answers or in the very least some some way to use the first ever captive mermaid to his advantage against his enemies or for monetary gain.<br/><br/>Heres an extra plot not really related to any history at all:<br/>5. This is kind of a idea rather then a plot.<br/>I was thinking that there is either a robot who thinks of itself as human or a Android(human body but computer brain) who doesn't like living the life of a machine. The world that this is based in is a world where humans have been wiped out by the robot looking humans, but the only way to tell a robot from a human is that the robots have a barcode(from when the robots had been made) tattooed on their arms. But there is a group of humans and in hiding. The humans spend time capturing robots and taking them apart, trying to learn how they think and their weakness so they can shut the robots down for good. Long story short, he/she ends up capturing the Android when he/she wanders into his/her hide out and the story takes off from there.<br/>Also, while I was in the shower(which is where I do my thinking for ideas) I had another idea for this plot. What if the Android , when it had been fully human had been with the rebels? Like she/he fought against the robots with them and learned how to fight really well? And was captured, taken by the robots, where the robots changed him/her. Took the human's bones and replaced the with metal, and replaced her/his brain with machinery and maybe his/her eyes for better for use of surroundings. But she/he still looks the same as before, but has no memories thus far of his/her human life. So when the Android comes upon the hideout after leaving the robots, the human, who may have been in a relationship or just really good friends with the Android secretly loving him/her when he/she were still human, stops the other humans from killing it and starts trying to find ways to get the Android to remember and tries to get it used to living with humans and keeping the humans from killing it.<br/><br/>I'll be up for your number two, or any of the ones I've listed. I'll allow you to make the final decision."

10776,Saving Anna,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18195-saving-anna,['1x1'],2014-03-27 00:53:00,AHeartlessNobody,"Well just for reference on your part, here is the setting of the rp and past of the character I want to play.<br/><br/>Basically its a world where robots have taken over everything and want to get rid of all the humans. The more dangerous humans they just kill, but some that have useful skills or are less harmless the robots change them, turning them into Androids. The humans' bones, and eyes are replaced by mechanics and a chip implanted into their minds, making it seem like they are machines, turning them essentially into half robots, though you couldn't look at them and tell physically because they look the same as they had been human. The only difference you will find between this Androids and normal humans that you can physically see is that the Androids have a bar-code tattooed onto their arm(underneath the tattoo is a tracking chip as well). Any humans still alive and not changed by the robots are living in hiding away from the robots, having to scavenge for supplies, food, ect.<br/><br/>My idea for the rp would be that I would play a girl who had been captured on one of the humans raids for finding supplies and turned into an Android. Androids are to supposed to have any memories at all of their previous life(the chip in their brain on top of increasing their intelligence and react times, ect, also blocking the previous human memories), but the girl has been having flashes of memories. Not much, just images of certain things. This makes her more and more less willing to do the robots bidding and soon she runs away from the robots, where she manages to travel by instinct to where she had lived as a human(though she doesn't remember she did); the human resistance hideaway hidden in a cave in a dessert. The moment she enters though, the humans capture her, about to kill her, when someone stops them. A young man(who you would play), whom when she was human was her fiance. They proceed to try and convince him she's not the same and that she doesn't even know who he is(which is technically true, her only having seen quick images of him left over from her human memories seeping through), but he refuses to listen to them. Finally coming to a decision, they decide to not kill her, but keep her prisoner there in the caves until they can figure out what to do with her. You could take this character in many ways such as him being gentle and trying to coax her to remember, or he could be somewhat angry toward her now that she is an Android. How you want to play him would be up to you."

Mirabella cried over her friend and new found lover as he layed on the floor, staring blankly up at her with frightening grey eyes. She took his <a href=""http://www.christiandevotions.us/uploaded_images/broken-glasses-749950.jpg"">glasses</a>, one of the lenses cracked, off his face, checking his head, and screaming a terrified shriek when she touched his head where the bucket had hit. They had killed him. The only person who ever understood her, who had tried to help her, who had loved her, was gone. She clutched his glasses in her hand and the blood soaked girl stood up, her angry and piercing blue eyes glowing ever so slightly as they fell upon the crowd. The sweet, shy, awkward little Mira was gone in that moment. The old Mira was not conscious, nor aware of what was going on.This was someone completely different.The lights above her cracked and exploded over everyone, making them scream. <br/><br/>They had reasons to scream yes, because they would soon loose their lives. Every single one of those unforgivable scum would soon be begging for mercy, just as she had so many times. But, just as mercy was never shown to neither she or Danny, she would not show it to them. She killed them all. Some were held down mentally to the floor while their classmates trampled over them in attempt to get to the locked doors, while others were crushed between the bleachers trying to escape. Some where caught on fire. Some were thrown against walls and tables. Once the more disposable ones(over one hundred students) were out of the way, she moved onto the few whom had caused her and Danny the most pain through out their years. A group of just twenty people. She took her time with these. The ones who had just been the lackeys she mentally choked until they fell to the floor lifeless. The leaders though, oh she had fun with them. She levitated broken shards of glass and slowly cut them, every inch of their skin, and when she grew tired of ones screams, she would slit their throat and move on to the next one. <br/><br/>The very last one trembled there. This was the most hated one. A pretty little bitch who had made her life miserable. The one who had taken the video of her and laughed, only to later post it on the internet for everyone to see.The one who had planned the prank that had killed her beloved Danny. This girl had ruined her life. The girl looked up at her, begging her for her life to be spared, ""Mirabella! Y-you don't want to do this! You'll regret this! All of this! For the rest of your life!""<br/><br/><b>""And what about Danny's life? WHAT ABOUT HIS LIFE!? YOU THINK HE'LL REGRET THIS?!""</b> Mira's face suddenly grew darker as she stood over the girl,<b> ""Oh yes, that's right. He won't have a chance to. Because you killed him."" </b>With a snarl she swiped her hand through the air and a sickening crack sounded as the girls neck was broken. With her last victim out of the way, Mira left. She ran home. She found her mother had broken out of the closet, and unable to find her, went to wash the horrid blood from her skin. She filled the tub and stripped down, slipping in. The blood filled her tuba and looking down at her arms, still wet with the blood that had not only been poured over her, but the blood of the people she had killed, the emotional and scarred Mira suddenly snapped back into place and she began screaming.</i><br/><br/>The screams that escaped her filled her bedroom and woke her up, the young blonde woman siting up in her bed quickly, hysterical, biting down hard on her arm to muffle her screams and cries of fear at the painful memories that haunted her dreams. She laid back, sobbing and yelling into her pillow, trying to tell herself that what happened was all in the past. That it wasn't even her. That had been Mirabella. She wasn't Mirabella anymore. She was Annabella. Anna wouldn't do anything like that. Anna was a new person. Anna hadn't killed anyone. She hadn't killed anyone. No that was Mira who had done the deed. But even then, all the lights about her bedroom flickered widely and busted, things about her room, including her bed levitating.<br/><br/>She took deep breaths, clawing at her pillow, ripping them by accident with her finger nails in attempt to clam and sooth herself. When her mind was at least somewhat at ease, everything floating in the air dropped, her bed making a rather loud sound when it hit the floor. Her down stairs neighbors of course banged on their ceiling as if to tell her to shut up, thinking she was just playing around watching a scary movie or fooling around in bed, as they did every time she had one of her meltdowns. She couldn't blame them. It couldn't be easy living in the same building as a freak such as herself. She was just thankful no one had asked too many questions about this. She had seemed to muffle her screams, cries, and loud noises enough where people didn't think too much of them. After all, she was a young college student. Surely she was just a crazy adolescent who was just having a bit of college fun. Or so they thought anyway.<br/><br/>Carefully rising from her bed, she went to take a quick shower to calm her nerves and after that, as well as getting a quick glass of water, went back to bed, though she didn't sleep. She couldn't, for fear of being bombarded by more unwanted memories.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Anna got up early the next morning, figuring if she hadn't fallen asleep by then she probably wouldn't, and took to getting ready for college. She only had one class today. Her classes were pretty much spread out. She had one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, another on Wednesdays, and three on Mondays and Fridays. She had Saturdays and Sundays off. It was good and less stressful that way. She first got dressed in the<a href=""http://fashionistatrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/cute-casual-outfits-2012-24.jpg"">outfit</a>she had picked out last night before heading bed, then threw her<a href=""http://www.fanfiktion.de/?a=s&amp;n=Amilia+Sebtana&amp;i=1"">hair</a>up, and lastly grabbed a biscuit and headed out the door, eating as she walked. She of course, had to walk to school, not exactly having the money to get a car in the past three months she had been in this town, but she was slowly working her way toward that goal. Until then, walking to school and work would just have to do. She sighed finishing her biscuit as she made it to the elevator and pressed the button, patiently waiting for it to come up and the doors to open."

He had wild brown hair that was spiked up slightly with spiking hair gel. He had chocolate brown eyes that would make just anyone melt with just one look and he had slightly tan skin. He was wearing a red tank top that was tight against his upper body showing his slightly muscular arms and his slightly muscular lean chest and some black jeans.<br/><br/>""So I told my brother hey who wants to party and damn we partied like so tomorrow last night"" he said as his buddies around hi chuckled in amusement. The boy turned towards the direction where Ana was currently standing and he blinked his brown eyes looking at her. The other boys didn't notice and continued to walk on and vanished from ear shot and view.<br/><br/>""Um hello who are you"" he asked politely discreetly looking her up and down. he mentally had interest when he did so and leaned back crossing his arms a straught face on as he looked up at her eyes. ""I am Maxwell but my friends call me Max"" he said smiling a little as he held out a hand to shake hers."

The elevator was taking so long to come up to the floor and she didn't like being in the hallways of the apartment building. Too many neighbors. She had been lucky enough to avoid most of them in these past few months and those who had seen her had said nothing to her. She shifted her weight from one side to the other and in fixing the strap of her backpack suddenly couldn't remember if she had placed her essay for her college language arts class in her back pack or not. Turning slightly without taking her backpack fully off, she unzipped it and began rummaging through her and just as she sighed in relief, pulling the essay out to make sure all the pages were there, when the doors to the elevator opened and out walked a group of boys around her age. Moving to the side to let them by, she slipped to the side, only to lose grip of the papers in her hand, dropping them on the floor, an embarrassed look on her face. She took a deep breath and nervously bent down to pick up her papers, looking up at one of the boys who had stayed behind.<br/><br/>Once she had all the papers in hand, she put them in order and in a neat stack, placing them in to her backpack just as he spoke to her. Was it just her, or did he look her up and down? She was a bit confused and all the more nervous at this. She averted her gaze for a moment before looking back at him with her bright blue eyes, speaking so quiet it was almost a whisper, ""A-Anna. I live in room 506."" Looking down at her wide, her eyes widened slightly to see she was already running late. She said a soft excuse me and moved around him, shyly getting into the elevator, brushing a stray strand of blond hair from her face as she did. She glanced over at him for a moment, studying his his handsome face, not even realizing she was staring at him until his eyes met hers for a split second, making her quickly avert her gaze once ore and press the button to go tot he first floor."

""So what classes are you taking here Ana"" he asked looking at her as the elevator door shut and started to go down quietly and swiftly. The numbers just were just above the door was glowing as they went down with each floor they landed on until they hit the first floor. The elevator door opened and he held out his arm.<br/><br/>""Ladies first"" he said with a gentleman smile, this smile different from the grin he had given her just moments ago in the elevator and once she walked out he followed her and the doors closed behind him with a small ding."

She glanced over at him for a moment, studying his happy features, as well as his handsome face, not even realizing she was staring at him until his eyes met hers for a split second, making her quickly avert her gaze to look straight ahead of her, that same all nervous look coming to her face once more. And being in a tight closed space like an elevator didn't help. She never liked closed places. It reminded her too much of the dreaded 'prayer closet' her mother used to shove her into when ever her mother felt she had done something 'sinful'. Just the thought of it made her draw into her, holding a couple of her books close to her chest, her hair in her face as if that would hide her from this boy's gaze<br/><br/>She was more than relieved when the elevator dinged, signaling they were on the 1st floor. She quickly made her way out of the elevator, keeping her head down as she walked. It was a good thirty minute walk to the college and the slow elevator had already made her a few minutes off schedule. She quickened her pace a little as she walked out of the building and moved to walk down the sidewalk, going in the direction of the university. And of course, he followed her, making her all the more nervous. She glanced back at him with her bright blue eyes as he walked along with her. Why was he following her around anyway? Wait, did she even have to ask? From the way he had been speaking to his friends about 'partying' this boy was one of those popular types who played girls for fun. And now, she was on his list.<br/><br/>She looked away from him once more and down at the sidewalk as she went along, ""I-I'm working on my core classes right now....I'm majoring in art."" She said in nothing more then a shy and nervous whisper, being sure to keep enough space between the boy Max and herself, not liking him taking interest in her. Maybe before she would have been flattered, but in her new life or fear and hiding, she could never respond to such attempts as he was making toward her."

All of her life, her mother did almost nothing but criticize her, spit scripture at her, and force her to go into the 'prayer closet' for hours if she did anything her mother thought was wrong or 'sinful'. She was home schooled up until sixth grade when the school board of the district had it ordered she attend public school. The moment she set foot into public school, she was immediately targeted by the popular crowd and constantly put down by everyone in the school. She was shy and awkward, not leaving much room for her to make friends. But, there was one friend.<a href=""http://data.whicdn.com/images/19020860/black-and-white-boy-cute-dork-glasses-Favim.com-209281_large.jpg"">Danny</a>. Danny was unpopular like herself and the two just seemed to click. The two stuck together like glue and never left each other's sides when they were at school. Though her mother always ordered her to come straight home from school she would sometimes come home late and face the consequences or even risk sneaking out at night just to go hang out with him. They went on through the years like this. He was everything to her, the only thing she looked forward to in her sad life.<br/>When she turned 16, something horrible happened to her. Her period. Her unstable mother had never told her about a period, nor had she ever even learned what one was. Her only thoughts she could possibly go to was that something was terribly wrong and that she was bleeding to death in the shower of the girl's locker room at school. In her mad scramble to find someone to help her, the other girls int he locker room did nothing but call her a freak and chant at her to 'plug it up' while cruelly throwing tampons and pads at her, even video taping the incident.as she laid on the floor crying and begging for someone to help her. With the video uploaded to the internet and spreading all over school, Anna's life became all the more miserable. She skipped most of her classes, spending her time hidden away in the library, sometimes alone, sometimes joined by Danny who would comfort her and cheer her up. Time passed, and some forgot the incident, while others continued to bash on her for it. She eventually got the courage, thanks to Danny, to go back to her classes. It wasn't too long after the incident though, that Anna noticed a huge change in her life.<br/>Strange things had started happening to her. A light bulb bursting here and there. Objects suddenly being knocked over even though she never laid a finger on them. It wasn't until the mirror in the girls bathroom she had been looking into shattered that she realized what was going on. She had powers. Amazing powers. She could move and control objects. It was in this realization that Anna felt....special. Unique. Like she had finally accomplished something. She worked and worked at her powers, slowly learning to control them and make them stronger. And it remained a secret. She didn't want anyone to know. Especially her mother. Her mother was already so close to the edge, she knew if the woman ever found out, she might do something horrible to her. Another school year passed, and soon approached senior prom. She of course, hadn't been asked, but thankfully neither had Danny. So, it would be only natural that the two decide to just go together. She worked in secret, locked away up her room while her mother was at work, sewing her own<a href=""http://www.dhresource.com/albu_100705057_00-1.0x0/2011new-style-beautiful-prom-dresses-cocktail.jpg"">dress</a>. And finally, when the faithful day came, she told her mother she was going to the prom. Her mother of course disagreed and told her it wasn't right, and that going to such an affair and wearing something so unmodest as the dress she had made was a great sin. Her mother then tried to force her into the prayer closet, but this time, Anna was not going to comply. She wanted to go to prom, to have this one night. In a rash moved, Anna used her powers on her mother, lifting her in the air and putting her in the closet, and locking it, as well as scorching the lock into place to keep her from breaking out. It was then, that Anna got ready. She fixed her own hair, did her own makeup, put on her dress. She looked like a new person.<br/>That night, Danny picked her up and the two went to the prom, enjoying everything and having a good time. It was during a slow dance though that things thickened for Anna. With she and Danny being so close together, it wasn't hard to guess something might happen between them, and it did. He kissed her. And in just that kiss, two of the lights in the prom burst. Everyone chalked it up to bad electrical issues, but Anna knew if the two of them were to continue their little romance, they would have to go somewhere more secluded. So, she took him down the hall of the school and the two of them snuck into one of the classrooms, where Anna finally told him of her powers. He was suprisingly accepting of it, and even said he suspected somethign of that sort, having sen certain clues that lead to that. He told her it didn't matter and he loved her with or without the powers. In hearing he say such a thing, the emotional Anna kissed him again and they did something the two of them had never thought they would do together, much less in a classroom at school.<br/>After that was over, the two went back to the prom, over joyed with their new found romance together. They sat down with all the other students as the people who put the prom together went up on the stage to announce who had won prom king and queen, only to be all together shocked and confused. She and Danny had won. The new dazed couple walked up to the stage, accepting their crowns and in their last moment of happiness, shared a kiss on the stage together. But, the moment after their lips touched, they were showered from above by none other then a bucket of blood, the horrible video of her terrified moment in the ladies locker room playing over head on the projectors as the crowd laughed and chanted just as the girls in that locker room had all that time ago. This upset her, but this wasn't what set her off. The hard metal bucket from above broke off its rope, falling and hitting Danny on the head. The room fell silent as Danny fell to the ground and Anna frantically knelt beside him, trying to wake him up. Only his eyes stared blankly up at her, clouded over. The moment Anna came to the conclusion Danny was dead, something inside of the girl snapped. The lights over head exploded, showering everyone in glass and things int he room bean flying. She mentally locked the doors, and no one escaped her. There would be no survivors that night. Each person died how she saw fit. They all deserved it for her years of torture. For taking away the only thing that had ever mattered to her.<br/>When the deed was done, and the gym was littered with the dead bodies of her peers, Anna left. She wasn't sure what time the police arrived, or even when someone discovered the massacre, but no one would ever know it was her. She had made sure of that. She hadn't physically touched a single person, nor had she left a single trace had had even been there that evening. She ran home from there and upon entering her house, discovered something frightful. Her mother had broken out of the<a href=""https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d6RAON7Id48/UmyjUXc7jXI/AAAAAAAAR7Y/sPdNg4jVRpg/s1600/in+the+closet.jpg"">closet</a>. The woods had literally been ripped apart from it. She went around the house, searching for her mother, and unable to find her, went into the bathroom to wash the blood from off of her. She became frantic and hysterical at the sight of all blood, both animal(from the bucket of blood) and of the humans she had killed and quickly washed it off of her, crying and screaming the whole time. When she was free of the blood, Anna left the bathroom, in a fresh change of clothes and in walking out, found her mother standing there. In search for comfort from her mother, she ran up, hugging her. Her mother for once seemed relatively calm and offered that the two of them kneel and pray. So, Ana agreed, kneeling with her mother hugging her. Only her mother didn't want to pray. Her mother stabbed her in the back with a knife. There was a struggle between the two, her mother yelling at her, calling her a sinner and a witch, and in a last attempt to save her life, Anna summoned with her powers any sharp objects she could think of that layed about the house. A dozen knives and scissors came up from their spots that had been laying and impaled her mother, pinning her to the wall. Even more hysterical and frightened now that she had not only killed her classmates, but now her own mother, Anna did the only things she could do. She packed up anything she could find and stealing her mother's car keys and any money and credit cards she could find, set the house a flame and left, never coming back. A few towns over, Anna rented a car and disposed of her mother's car in a near by lake, driving even further south in the rental, going hours before she found the perfect town. Small, quiet, a great place for her to start over. She figured some things out and using what money she had in cash rent an apartment for an entire year prepaid. She abandoned the rental car in a different town and took to walking where ever she needed to go, not wanting to get anything else with the credit card, in fact, cutting them up so she wouldn't be traced back to the small town. There in that town, after meeting a person and bribing who had a very useful skill of forging, she got fake documents created, changing her whole identity. She changed her name, where she came from, who her parents were, and even had school records and transcripts created. Once everything was settled, and she had a new her, she applied and was accepted in the local college, ready to start her new life and hopefully hide from her past forever.<br/>Appearance:<br/><img src=""http://www.andreialbu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/blonda-frumoasa-cu-par-lung.jpg""/><br/>Other: As crazy as it may seem, she has a few momentos from her past, locked away in a secret place in her apartment. The momentos include Danny's glasses(which she had took from his face when checking his head wound at the prom and had kept in her hand during the attack, as well as carried home with her), the still bloodied prom queen crown, a cross necklace her mother had worn, and the cell phone of one of her peers(the one who took the video of her in the locker room. the video is still on the phone)."

Delphia was never really known or seen at the camp thanks to her trying to to ever be seen. she slept peacefully her hair fallen over her pale face as she felt the warm sunshine on her face. She smiled gently as she opened her eyes gently and yawning sat up from her perch. She didn't have a cabin or she never wanted to be in one thanks to her past she didn’t like being trapped inside buildings it made her skittish. She opened her blue eyes that sparkled in the morning glow of the Sky the colors amazing to her eyes. She stretched out and yawns deeply thinking to herself. She walked back slowly to the base of the tree grinning gently and humming softly she went to the shore feeling the wet sand on her feet. she smiled but walked around the beach area humming to herself. her black cloak flows behind her in rippling golden and black colors. Delphia turned to the water smiling gently “I hope your proud” she said speaking to the air, to her mother if she could ever see her again. She shut her eyes and relaxed on a tree humming gently to herself letting the sun touch her pale skin."

But not Adrian, he was always one of the first up in the morning, and had been up for hours as he was standing on the beach, surrounded by a group of 10 other students, all having wooden weapons. Adrain himself was unarmed and wearing only a pair of swim trunks, with out a shirt on his muscular physique on display as well as this tattoo covered arms, chest, and upper back. His body shined with sweat as he had been up for several hours working out until it was time for the morning training with his team, mostly them trying new ways to beat him in a fight. He never told them how many people to bring, what weapons to use or anything but instead wanted them to think for themselves. Now his eyes scanned and sized up the fight as he looked over at the group of campers with with there training weapons and leather armor vest. He splayed his arms out waving his fingers to say ""come at me"" before hunching over and raising her fist up and spreading out his bare feet in the sand.<br/><br/>For a few moments he stood there, waiting as they shifted about around him, circling around. They were looking for weaknesses in his stance, which there were seeing as there is no such thing as a perfect stance as they all have some form of weakness. Soon though a boy behind him and to his right charged, holding a staff he moved forward, at least they had learned to stop yelling and signalling every time they are about to attack him, so progress was being made. He brought his staff out in a wide arch, but only the end of it was near Adrian, good he was learning to use the length of that weapon to his advantage he thought. Though he was still a bit slow, Adrain brought his right arm down instead of out right blocking it, he went under and quickly flicked his wrist up. This caused the staff to change how it was moving and it was now moving up as he bent down and it passed harmlessly over head as he rose his right arm up and his left down twisting his body as he was guiding that staff to start to fall down onto the ground. He could of out right blocked it, but every day he changed the style of fighting to keep them on their toes, today he choose wu shu, A form that focuses more on deflecting blows and the transfer of motion. Though he could change his fighting style on the fly for the sake of fairness he sticks to one per day.<br/><br/>As soon as he was coming up from his bent position he looked up too see girl bringing her sword down. He smiled as they were learning to work together well, possibly coming up with there strategy the day before. She was even attacking on the inside of his right arm, and because he was so tall and his arms she choose to prefrom a quick strike instead of just going for the most powerful one she could. He was impressed by this, but not impressed enough as he spun on the heels of his feet, his left hand sweeping across her legs as he stood up and she flipped falling behind him now. As another camper was came at him with a sword, his attack was a little sloppier as it was eacy for Adrian to use his right hand, crossing it over to hit the males right arm before bringing his left foot forward planing it on and using the palms of both hands he hit the males chest sending him flying back a few feet. Just then two came at him at once, on staff and another sword. He reached out and his arm wrapped around the staff as he pined it using his arm and back as he leaned back words that sword flying inches in front over his face. standing back up he kept his feet firmly panted and wide as he grabbed the girls sword arm in a twist much the same way he did that staff and his left let kicked out hitting her in the stomach and knocking her back. soon he pulled back on the staff before jerking it forward hitting the male in the chest, several times before he let go of it. And now Adrian had a weapon. He spun the staff bringing it down holding it half way as it was along his back.<br/><br/>More came at him as he jerked and fought back. Deflecting blows and tossing them around using there own attack, that staff a flurry of motion as it was sliding from one hand to another, knocking blows and attacking at the same time. They managed to land blows on him as well. But in the end he was left standing, a smile on his face as his breathing was a bit heavy and he was surrounded by campers laying in the sand groaning and holding various body parts. None of them were seriously injured, mostly just bruises and a few cuts and scrapes. But they would be sore for a bit. Adrian him self had a couple of bruises on himself as well as he laughed spinning that staff then sticking it into the sand """"Now that was fun! give it a couple more years you guys might finally beat me."" he was impressed as one of the males stood up looking over at him ""yea but that didn't stop you from kicking our asses"" he said as Adrain laughed again still grinning ""No, but you were working very well as a unit and your attacks were flowing together nicely."" He stated some ""But you need to remember, not to attack so wide with staffs, though it is a more power full hit, it takes a long time to reach the opponent giving plenty time to react, as well"" He used that staff ""see like this"" soon he was giving short swats of the staff and little jabs. ""you want to keep them shifting, always trying to block the next blow and then"" he brought the staff in a wide arch for a more powerful strike ""bring on the more powerful hits to break through there deference."" He smiled as he stretched out some looking up ""I think they are about to get some breakfast, And i'm hungry""<br/><br/>He smiled as they all started walking ""oh Sarah, nice move in the beginning, choosing that quick strike instead of going all out, most people would of been done fore...most people"" The girl looked at him ""yea yea"" she stated as Adrian was known to be a little cocky and boastful, though he kept it light for the most part. Soon they were grabbing trays and waiting in line and getting food as Adrian stood out. He was one of the largest campers, as well as the only one so heavily tattooed. Adrian's team was currently one of the top, seeing as they when every combat game, It's the none combat oriented games that teams have a chance at beating them at. But they excel at that, as people either want nothing more then to be on his team, or dread the idea. Sure they got out of camps combat training, but that is because the combat training Adrian gives is much more intense so he uses that time for conditioning, 10 mile runs loaded down with 100lbs of gear, mini triathlons, and all sorts of crazy stuff. But they all looked forward to today, as once a week they spend the normal combat training time having fun, swimming in the lake, playing sports or otherwise relaxing in what ever way they wanted to.<br/><br/>With food in tray he walked to a table sitting down. Though the greatest weakness of Adrain was now on display, mainly table manners. He ate more then most, due to his size and extensive work out regiment and soon he was digging in. A male, Brian, sat next to him and laughed some ""Adrian, it's dead you don't have to worry about it running off."" he said laughing as Adrain then quickly swallowed ""Oh, hunting we should add hunting into training"" he said as Sarah sat down rolling her eyes ""why are you giving him ideas, now he is going to have us fighting bears with nothing but hand to hand combat."" They shared a laugh as Adrian smiled ""naa I wouldn't do that...It would be menators"" he said smiling almost child like before resuming to make sure none of his food does to decided it doesn't want to be eaten and run off."

Her black hair hung in a ponytail, some loose strands hanging down over her face and covering her unique eye color of grey, dark blue, and yellow circling the pupil which was called heterochromia. The main reason she was left alone was for one reason only. Her father was Hades. No one would willingly work with her or fight with her. There was of course that Adrien who didn't mind training with her. That confused her on some levels. She had gotten used to isolation and being on her own. Not even supervisors wanted to mess with her or even get close to her. She was currently on another Greek translated book. Her head turned as she heard noises in the breakfast hall signifying the group coming in from practice. She had on a comfortable pair of black pants and a red shirt not even bothering to even consider that she could be asked to do anything. No one ever had before, why start now?<br/><br/>Daniel was deep in the water of the lake in his merman form sleeping under the waves.

Mostly they were speaking of this and that making conversation as they would all laugh about something or another. Nothing really important. Swallowing the food in his mouth he slammed his fist down on the table ""you know I was born in the wrong time"" he stated as Sarah laughed ""Oh boy not this again"" she said as Adrain went on ""no really, Could you imagine me in a real war, I would of truly united Greece, even Spartans would fallow me. I would of been a great Greek empire, not roman or Persian bahh"" he was pointing his for around as he spoke ""Also I would avoided all those stupid wars that were the downfall of empires, 'Oh I love this girl I'm going to start a needless war that gains us nothing'"" He had a clear mocking tone as he held his arms out like he was prancing about ""I swear love is pointless"" he stated before taking a big bite of his breakfast.<br/><br/>Just then Sarah leaned over ""Alexis was just looking over here"" At that moment Adrian nearly choked on his food coughing some as he quickly swallowed ""what, so what she can look where ever she wants it's not a crime"" He said as Sarah laughed some ""sure thing lover boy"" Adrian's cheeks turned a light red color as Sarah and every one laughed ""that's it Sarah, 10k during our free time"" he said as she smiled still laughing ""so worth it to see you blush"" she said as he looked at her with playful ""i'll kill you"" eyes with over exaggerated squinting he got sometimes. Only this made her laugh more as he tossed his arms up ""Gahh I give up"" he stated ""Never mind free time as usual"" mostly cause he himself liked free time as much as them.<br/><br/>After all that his eyes did shift over looking to Alexis ""you know she would really make a great addition to us"" he said as one of his other teamates leaned over ""yea...but come on you can't be serious she is the daughter of hades, I mean I know you think she is cute and all bu--""he was suddenly cut off by a very large fist becoming intimate with the side of the face as he fell over flat on his back crying out as Adrian was standing and leaning over the table. ""watch your words or i'll rip out your tongue"" his tone was flat with the exception of the slight scratching sound of his deep voice the table suddenly got quite, hell the entire food hall got quite as every one looked over to them. The expression on his face was something to be feared. Eyes that seemed to burn with a cold fire as he looked at the boy slowly sitting up holding his face ""She is a better fighter then you, and a honorable person. The strong deserve our respect, the weak our protection. Heritage be damned"" he said looking out over his team ""that goes for all of you, if this simple concept is to much for you then you have to place on MY team"" he emphasizing my.<br/><br/>The male slowly stood up ""i'm sorry, I didn't mean anything...I was ju-"" this time he was cut off by another person grabbing him and holding a hand over his mouth ""He was just having a moment of retardation"" The man holding him spoke for him before whispering in his ear ""Take your lashes and shut up, speaking any more and you will just make things worse for yourself"" he said sitting down ""You know what fun i'm having for our free time. Water resistance training. Have you ever tried to kick or punch underwater, it's nearly impossible and nothing will leave your body more sore, but the pay off is Eminence as it increases your speed and strength when fighting on ground."" He looked over to the male who was still rubbing his face ""You will be joining me, and if you can't keep up your off the team"" Everyone just sort of looked down as they knew he was off the team as it was hard enough to keep up with Adrian on a good day, nearly impossible when he was angry and working out frustrations, and most would of been surprised if he even bothered to show up.<br/><br/>Adrian stood up grabbing his tray and ""I've seemed to have lost my appetite"" he said walking off and dumping his food in the trash and putting his tray with a group of others leaving the mess hall. As he did he passed by Alexis, looking over at her a little before walking off to cool off a bit as when he gets worked up and angry he has a tendency of doing things that he would later regret."

His work began to be publicized as early as the age of 11, being in a renowned family as a very unique character, and that's when he found out he was in grave danger. He learned who his father was at the young age of 13 and has been at the camp since. He has not seen one sign of his father anywhere but in him and this leaves him to think of Hephaestus with absolute disdain.<br/><br/>Personality : Emmett finds it safest to stay out of the limelight, no matter how big the crowd. He finds comfort in his work and only seems to get excited about such. His thoughts are on augmenting the inanimate parts of the world around him, and the girls that pass him by. The mask he wears is one of the many ironic symbols of his father he chose to hide his face like Hephaestus SHOULD, and does... At his best, Emmett is a noble and heroic soul that does anything in his ability to help even if it means coming into harms way. At his worst, Emmett is a reclusive, stubborn, slightly self-centered, and aggressive with only enough clarity to remove himself from a situation before he gets engaged. He hates bullies and the mistreatment of any object or person. He likes beautiful women first, mechanics second, and music as a little known third.<br/><br/>Power : Emmett's truest proof of heritage is a trait he calls IronFire. As an ultimate attack or defense, He can turn any or every part of his person into an indestructible material that quickly heats up to temperatures that could liquefy any metal or mineral, including his equipment. The problem is that at the climax of this ability the affect area becomes paralyzed until it completely cools, or if it is an object, then it is destroyed completely.<br/><br/>Ability: Emmett has a practically instant understanding of any device outside of the realm of complete magic. This includes finding anything necessary to demolish or reconstruct whatever comes across him. He can make a muscle car from a lemon and poke the one place that will make a robotic golem crumple in on itself.<br/><br/>weapon: Hephaestus in his complete and utter absence has not bestowed and sort of gifts upon Emmett. In fact, he has found little of treasure he has brought upon himself. His weapons are of his own design for him or any camper that can somehow match the wild prices he charges for his work. Or if someone from the Aphrodite cabin needs anything.<br/><br/><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/7rGSZ3y.jpg""/>Chainsaw blade with alternating celestial bronze and steel teeth.<br/><br/><img src=""http://timespan.org.uk/wp-content/gallery/blacksmiths-tools/blacksmith_hammer_28-448p.jpg""/>nothing beats his trusty blacksmith hammer. except for when Emmett replaced the wooden shaft with a inter-collapsible metal one that extends it's reach to that of a two-handed warhammer.<br/><br/>Picture :<img src=""http://p.globalsources.com/IMAGES/PDT/B1066203458/Wire-Mesh-Templar-Cosplay-Airsoft-Tactical-Mask.jpg""/><br/>His most current model facemask, replace the mesh with a system of plates that move at will.<br/>the rest of him is generally nice, durable clothes over a body that's muscular and hardened from his years of manual labor.<br/><br/>Crush : In the true fashion of his father, and in his yearning to experience true beauty, Emmett will fall for any substantially pretty girl that attempts to woo him and serve them faithfully."

She could see things they could not (souls of those not collected and whatnot), and had no issue reading and translating Greek words whenever they went to a museum of sorts. But she solidly got that fact slammed into her head when she was only eight years old and the time when the bind holding Hades in his Underworld weakened and he showed up taking her and telling her all in fact that she was his daughter and thus had responsibilities. That's when she was suddenly transported right outside Camp Half-blood with a scythe made from the strongest metal and through the toughest heat and this is where she has been living all this time.<br/><br/>Personality : She's not really sought out by those here because of her parentage, so her once bubbly and kindness part of her has been hidden away behind a locked box and now she personifies the true heir of Hades. She can make a deal with you, however, that's the very last thing you'll want to do, for a deal with her, as cliche as it might be, is your soul. She can be cruel, cold, degrading of others, and a kick ass fighter with all the training she goes through. She is the hardest to get along with, but once you get her friendship, she will be forever loyal to you.<br/><br/>Power:<i>Klí̱tef̱si̱ to̱n psychó̱n</i>{Summons of souls} What this power can do is summon millions of undead that will act as an enemy and as they are undead, close to nothing will stop them once they are attacking. The only thing that will stop/kill them for good is Zeus' thunderbolt or something like that made into a sword. She will only use this if the straits are dire.<br/><br/>Ability: Fire of the Underworld. This fire is special and only can be used by the offspring of Hades. When it touches someone it not only burns the body but also causes a sensational freezing sensation in the soul.<br/><br/>weapon: The scythe that her father made that cuts into most metals and pretty much indestructible.<br/><br/>Picture :<img src=""http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee206/Devilstudent/coolgirlpics/Animegirleyepatchgun.jpg""/><br/><br/><img src=""http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee206/Devilstudent/277px-Dark_Harvest_zps021e9f1a.jpg""/><br/><br/><img src=""http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc518/Immortal-Sin/Undead%20Army/UndeadArmy.jpg""/><i>Klí̱tef̱si̱ to̱n psychó̱n</i>and what it looks like.<br/><br/>Crush : Adrien. Not only does he challenge her in fighting, he also seems to sincerely like her despite her parentage.<br/><br/>Name: Daniel Hawkins<br/><br/>Age : 18<br/><br/>Parentage : Pontus and Sylvia Hawkins<br/><br/>history : Daniel hadn't had a clue he was different until the time he entered a pool when he was learning how to swim. Suddenly fins covered his hands and over his head and he could suddenly breathe underwater making him able to stay under for hours at a time. But it was a little difficult seeing as it was chlorine water. It was then that he went to his mother for an explanation, and he was told his father's real identity.<br/><br/>Personality : he's relatively a nice person and easy to get along with as long as you don't get him angry that is. Other than that, he's easy to be friends with and seems to go with the flow of things. You see what I did there? It was a pun!<br/><br/>Power: ice shards that can be shot like bullets. Can be melted with fire or if fighting against Mike<br/><br/>Ability (1): Form of a merman. He gained this from his father, making him able to go into water and breathe it. Also he has the ability while as a merman to speak with the fish underwater.<br/><br/>weapon: He uses his combat skills that he learned while at this camp as well as<br/><br/>Picture :<img src=""http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee206/Devilstudent/coolguypics/Untitled2.jpg""/><br/><br/><img src=""http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g355/aquajaguar95/Anime/1225389227311.jpg""/>fish form gained from his father<br/><br/>Crush : None yet."

From a young age he loved to fight and he was also very good as he never lost. Though he was by no mean a bully, he only went after the toughest person. He was constantly being kicked out of schools, bouncing around from district to district. School to School and constently moving because of this. Though the only real trouble arose when he was 12, a fight he started with an older kid got the police involved, and he resisted. He managed to take down 3 officers, mostly due to the fact that they didn't know how to approach the situation...but finally he was tazed and taken down. Though this was a last straw on his record as he was going to be scent to a school for people like him. Finally camp half blood had to intervene, telling him who his father was they took him to the camp, mostly to avoid him getting sent to juvie.<br/><br/>Personality : Adrian always loves a good fight and always wants to challenge the strongest person. He is also very loyal, standing by his friends no matter what and would to hell and back for them. At times he can even be sweet and kind if you catch him in the right moment. Though some people find him rather Brash as he tends to be brutally honest about things and situations.<br/><br/>Power:<div class=""hider-panel"">

</div>: He can summon a powerful suit of armor that covers his body allowing him to resist powerful blows and fight beyond his limits as it bonds with his body as he is injured and dulls pain. The armor is weightless to him allowing him to move just as fast with out it and allows him to be just as agile as if it wasn't there. The armor ""heals"" him by injecting it's self into his wounds to seal them, if his leg is broken metal spines will puncture into him and force the bone back together and seal it as long as the armor is on. Once it is removed his leg will still be broken and heals at a normal rate. Though because it dulls pains he may not no how serious his injuries are, and though it will allow him to fight past the point even a demi god would die the damage to his body is immense still. If he is to injured he wouldn't be able to take the armor off, as it would be the only thing keeping him alive. And though it dulls pain, it doesn't cancel it out, so in a fight he may still fight like some one far less injured then him but once the fight is over he may be left wracked with pain and bed ridden for weeks before he can even take the armor off and survive the pain.<br/><br/>Ability (1)<br/><br/>Knowledge of war: from one on one fights to battles of thousands Adrian is able to survey the situation and come up with strategies instantly, and as he observes an opponents moves he starts to gain the ability to predict them and learn how that person mind works, at least in battle.

Many young people had gathered in the main hall of the school for the welcoming speech and dinner. The air was filled with the conversations of reuniting friends that hadn't seen each other all summer and first years that shyly introduced themselves to one another and asked questions about where to go. The latter were gathered and instructed by Master Shang Gua about where to sit and how to behave.<i>""You sit down and be quiet. And don't speak when the headmaster speaks! I'm keeping an eye on you!""</i>He said in his stern and squeaky voice.<i>""Especially you!""</i>He threatened the kid that looked the most harmless and frightened.<br/>A voice of honey interrupted him.<i>""Master Shang, please don't scare our students away before we ever get the chance to teach them something.""</i><br/><i>""That's Master Gua to you Miss Leanara Blackwater! And these kids are going to be nothing but trouble if we don't keep them under control!""</i><br/>He leaned toward her and hissed softly:<i>""we've already been too soft on the kids from last year, and look where that took us!""</i><br/>Miss Lea could recall a prank the students pulled on Master Gua, but she doubted if that was because he was too soft. Rather the opposite.<br/><br/><i>""He doesn't mean it that way""</i>She said to the students as warm as she could, trying to comfort them a bit.<i>""Welcome to Lion Turtle Bending School. I'm Miss Lea""</i>She said with her widest smile and a subtle wink after she had sent Master Gua away with the message that the Headmaster was looking for him. Which ofcourse, she had made up to lure him away from the children.<i>""I hope Master Shang didn't give you the wrong impression. We're not all like that here. Why don't you come sit here with me?""</i>She continued and pointed at the nearest empty table.<i>""Headmaster Saigei is about to begin his welcoming speach""</i><br/><br/>Teachers were lining up in front of the room and an old man with white beard politely asked for silence. The large hall went silent in an instant.<br/><br/><i>""Welcome everyone at the beginning of yet another year here at Lion Turtle Bending School.""</i>Headmaster Saigei spoke with his usual, slightly hoarse voice.<i>""I'm happy to see that so many new and familiar faces will be joining us again this year. As for the first years: most of you arrived today, so you haven't had the chance to settle down yet. After the welcoming ceremony, Master Kuruk and Miss Finnalock will show you to the boys and girls dormitories respectively.""</i>He gestured to the duo on his left to make clear whom he was speaking about and he pauzed for a moment.<br/><br/>Even though he truly felt happy and proud about starting the year again with so many ambitious students, he was also worried about their safety since the attacks on the harbor this summer. He still could see the remains of the buildings there, crystal clear before his mind's eye. He cleared his throat to dismiss the memory and continued:<i>""Also new this year is the pro-bending arena we raised in the pond in front of the school. You will be able to sign up as a team and compete in the schooltournament.""</i><br/><br/>The list of anouncements went on. New teachers, old teachers, rules, where to find schedules. Nothing too important.<br/><br/><i>""And now it's time to eat.""</i>He ended his welcoming speach. Plates were brought to the table with all kinds of delicious smelling foods.<br/>Now the students would have some time to eat, chat and mingle.<br/><br/>Tomorrow, classes would start."
10903,Lion Turtle Bending School,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18264-lion-turtle-bending-school,['Casual'],2014-03-16 22:09:00,Sylvaky,"Not much had changed in the last year at the school. The veteran students had already seated themselves and most talked idly while the first years filed into the main hall where the welcoming speech and dinner were about to go underway. Makki eyed Master Gua as he tried his best to intimidate the younger students into behaving properly. The waterbender found his grumpy attitude draining and training under him almost everyday had made his first year almost unbearable. If it was not for the friends he had made and his ever present yearning for knowledge, Makki thought he would have dropped out.<br/><br/>""Good thing he doesn't know who pulled that Elbow Leech stunt last year."" Makki said to the few at his table. He absently twirled his finger above his class of water, turning his attention to the vortex he was creating. He almost wished he was still in the North Pole with the rest of his family. Almost. There was no doubt in his mind that he liked being in the frozen north but there was only so much he could learn there. The Lion Turtle Bending School offered everything from instruction in the bending arts to worldly subjects such as diplomacy and history. Being his second year, Makki would be specializing in a select few subjects though he was still debating on which classes he would attend.<br/><br/>When the headmaster stepped forward to begin,the room fell into an eerie silence. The speech was similar to the year before, welcoming, polite, engaging and short. Makki fixed his eyes on Saigei, there was a flicker of something in his eyes, worry perhaps? Making a mental note to inquire as to what was wrong, Makki leaned forward in his seat before jumping up with an excited yell for the announcement pertaining to the pro-bending arena. He quickly reseated himself, tuning out the rest of the announcements as he imagined knocking opponents off the arena. He could already see himself with a winning team at a championship.<br/><br/>The appearance of food snapped Makki from his imaginings and he quickly selected a variety of Northern Water Tribe dishes to put on his plate. As he ate, Makki took the chance to look at the first years. They looked ordinary enough, each sporting the clothing style of his or her element or home. They looked out of place in a sea of familiar faces and he wondered if any of them would make a pro-bending team. He expected not, they were new and did not know the styles of fighting the second years had learned and so they would be at a big disadvantage. Makki's eyes settled on a long haired brunette sitting among the first years. His first thought was how attractive she was, that is, until he saw her neck and what appeared to be a betrothal necklace. ""A shame."" he said under his breath. He turned his icy eyes to those at his table and smiled widely.<br/><br/>""Anyone planning to join a pro-bending team?"" He asked, looking from face to face."

To her it was amusing because she had been raised in a Sandbending Tribe, they were always looking to make the next generation stronger than the last. Luckily her bloodline was one of the longest so she had been already raised to be strong, to show no fear, and to dominate challengers whenever possible. The camp her tribe lived in was called a 'Stronghold' by the members, but outsiders almost always just referred to it as a regular 'camp' which angered her everytime she heard it. Ellfen still had a bit of a playful and mischeivous side to her, so she couldn't help but laugh when Makki mentioned the prank that was pulled off last year.<br/><br/>""I will<i>nnneeeevvveeerrr</i>forget that face he made, I swear! Hahahaha!""<br/><br/>Ellfen glanced around the room, almost everyone that had the same element looked similar to each other. Similar colors in clothing, similar hair styles, and a few that had similar facepaint designs. She on the other hand, looked quite different from other Earthbenders, most likely due to the fact that she was mainly a Sandbender, plus her tribe had an odd sense of style. When the room fell silent she put her hand behind her back and twirled her fingers. Small sand particles carefully floated by a new student's face and they flinched and started rubbing their right eye. Ellfen snickered again and put her hand over her mouth to keep from getting too loud.<br/><br/>Ellfen yawned, becomming fairly bored with the speech. That was until the headmaster announced the pro-bending arena,<i>then</i>she was extremely excited and couldn't help but throw her fist in the air and shout a loud<b>""YEEAAHHH!!!!""</b>Not caring about the odd looks the new students gave her. She brought her fist back down and kept the wide half-animalistic grin on her face. Ellfen pictured herself dominating others with her sand-techniques, showing how even the smallest grain of sand can be stronger than the largest boulder. Her attention snapped over to the food that was being presented and she happily took some dishes similar to those she ate at her Stronghold, which consisted of mainly stews that looked questionable or gross to others and some bread. Ellfen began to practically stuff her face with the food, she wasn't exactly 'miss manners' if you know what I mean. Instead of taking small bites like others, she took rather large bites and thick swallows. Most men that had met her would think she was beautiful and strong, but then once they saw how she was they'd become either weirded out, or just plain<i>grossed</i>out. If she were to wear anything that made her look more masculine, most would probably think she was a straight up guy. Oh well, she didn't care, she was raised that way. Ellfen looked up at Makki when he asked about joining a pro-bending team and swallowed the food that was in her mouth.<br/><br/>""I plan on joining one. It would make my tribe proud. Plus it would prove to others that Sand can be stronger than Stone.""<br/><br/>She grinned and took a drink of water from her cup.<br/><br/>""What about you Makki? We all know you're competitive like the rest of us.""<br/><br/>Ellfen snickered.<br/><br/>""I can't say the same for the newmeat this year though. Hahaha.""<br/><br/>She said gesturing to the new students."

He was completely still and silent, as per how he usually meditated. He usually tried to meditate or rest during these pointless social gatherings. He needed as much energy as he could get for his training. While there was training at the academy, there wasn't enough in a day to satisfy Jinto so he usually did his own training during his free time. The second years around him were all talking about some prank they had pulled the past year, while it wasn't obvious he could still see that they were making sure to give him some space despite sitting at the same table. His mind clear, he droned out the noise around him. He only had to wait another year before he could go back home. His first year had been boring and tiresome and this new year didn't look to be any different. He had made disappointing progress with his Lighteningbending, he was having issues properly gauging his own power. He wasn't allowed to see his full potential during sparring due to the fact that they weren't supposed to hurt each other. The last time he had fought seriously was in an Agni Kai with his cousin. He had lived in a secular mountain village that was its own place unaffected by the changing outside world and conformed to the warlike traditions of the old Fire Nation. He had fought his cousin over a disagreement between their parents over their respective children's skill level. The village was a competitive place that focused on creating powerful benders.<br/><br/>His eyes fluttered open as he heard the news of the Pro-Bender tournament. Pro-Bending had always seemed like a joke to him but it didn't seem like such a bad anymore. He was anxious to see his personal progress in battle, safety gear or not, it didn't matter as long as he didn't have to hold back. The people around him cheered at the announcement, it occurred to him that he would need a team to join. He would need to find 3 other people to be in a team with, that would prove to be difficult considering the fact he barely knew the names of his fellow 2nd Years.<br/><br/>He looked around the table, he didn't work well with others, but as long as they stayed out of his way he wouldn't mind being on a team. This would prove to be a good opportunity, he would join a team as soon as the opportunity presented itself, whether they liked him or not was irrelevant."

One little prank last year and now the poor new kids had to suffer. Her eyes narrowed a bit, perhaps there needed to be something more extreme this year. He couldn't just be left to torture anyone that might cause him a tiny bit of trouble. She was pulled out of her malicious thoughts when the Headmaster started speaking.<br/><br/>Her eyes lit up a bit when he brought up the pro-bending arena. Joining a team would be a nice chance to try and branch out for once. From what she could tell the percentage of air-benders to the other bending types was rather small, in her opinion anyway. She clapped her hands together excitedly when the food was brought out. She quickly started scooping any kind of vegetarian food that she saw onto her plate.<br/><br/>She quickly swallowed her food, when Makki asked if anyone was planning on joining a pro-bending team.<br/><br/>“I will probably join one if I can find the right group of people...” A winning team, that’s what she needed anything to prove her father wrong.<br/><br/>This school was not going to be a waste of her time, he could call her weak and fragile until he was blue in the face, but that didn't make him right. She gave a small sigh under her breath. How her mother had fallen for such a stubborn man, and an Earth-bender no less was beyond her. While opposites are technically supposed to attract it wasn't meant to apply to different bending elements. She rested her head on her hand, classes would hopefully be interesting. For second years there were a lot more options. The only problem was that she couldn't think of what her focus should be. While teaching seemed like a good idea, and something she would enjoy, she needed something impressive. Molding young minds could be rewarding, it just wasn't something you could rub in another persons face. Martial Arts was definitely going to be one of her classes, Diplomacy or Chi could be interested to study. Then again she had always been interested in spirits.<br/><br/>“Why are there so many choices!” she threw her hands up in the air causing a couple of plates in the surrounding area to spin a bit.<br/><br/>Her face turned red, sudden outbursts wasn't something she wanted to be known for. She slumped over putting her face in her hands, some of the first years were muttering a bit. Talk about a bleak start to a new year."
10907,Lion Turtle Bending School,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18264-lion-turtle-bending-school,['Casual'],2014-03-17 05:34:00,Sylvaky,"Makki was glad to see some at his table were just as excited as he was for the pro-bending. Though he tried not to let it show, he was bouncing inside, itching to start the first day of practice though he still needed a team. He eyed the others at his table, of those closest, there was a perfect team, element wise anyway though when he looked at Jinto, he reconsidered. Makki was not sure if he wanted someone so serious on the team. Turning back to his meal, he chewed slowly as he considered everyone he would like to be on a team with. There were some nice firebenders around, and some airbenders that he enjoyed the company of. He even thought about what an all waterbender team would be like.<br/><br/>""We'd lose against any one with an earthbender..."" He murmured to himself.<br/><br/>The team would need at least an earthbender and Ellfen seemed more than eager to get into the ring and her being an earthbender, or rather sandbender and her winning attitude would make a good addition to any team.<br/><br/>""You don't really think you will be allowed to sandbend in the arena, do you?"" Makki asked with a raise eyebrow, ""If I can't use ice, then I doubt sand will be allowed, or lightning for that matter.""<br/><br/>""Of course I'll be joining! Who wouldn't want to?"" he said loudly, ""And if you're looking for a team...""<br/><br/>Makki gave an exaggerated gesture to indicate himself. He reached forward and took a leg that looked something akin to a grasshopper but much, much larger. He was surprised to find that the shell was soft and easy to peel away from the meat and he dug in.<br/><br/>""The tadpoles to look a little skittish, don't they."" He said, following Ellfen's gaze.<br/><br/>Makki stared at Suzune when she sent food flying via spinning plate. He made a note to keep a hand on the edge of his plate from then on. He could not believe she was complaining about having too many choices, it was the point of a school and it was exciting to be able to specialize.<br/><br/>""Would you rather be forced into classes you don't like."" He inquired, ""Like last year? I couldn't stand Politics!""<br/><br/>Politics and Diplomacy had been his least favorite class. Makki found it boring and a waste of time for him, especially since he hadn't understood half of what Miss Lea had said though it had been nice to have a waterbender as the teacher. She had been more than happy to offer extra help with his forms when Gua was too cranky.<br/><br/>""Do you think Headmaster Saigei will coach a team?"" Makki asked, glancing at the elderly man. The water tribe boy had developed a deep respect for the man during his tuesday pai sho lessons, and even more so when he proved himself an excellent and very capable fighter."

Advanced is Metalbending, although I see Sandbending as something more than what people think, it is still consitered a smaller portion. So, therefore, its allowed. To be honest you'd probably be able to use fog or mist in the arena, since it too is a smaller portion of your element.""<br/><br/>She said calmly but still firm. It was natural for her to sound either stern, firm, or intimidating when she talked about her element when someone questioned it. It wasn't insulting to her, but it still annoyed her when people didn't know all the details and just assumed. Ellfen laughed at his reaction to her question about him joining a team. Of course he'd join one, it was always obvious. She qwirked an eyebrow when he overly exaggerated for her to join him.<br/><br/>""In my tribe you have to prove your strength, sooo..""<br/><br/>Ellfen grinned.<br/><br/>""How about you go up agaiinnsstt...""<br/><br/>She looked around for a moment and her gaze happened to fall on Jinto. She then looked back at Makki.<br/><br/>""Jinto. And if you prove your strength, I'll join you, but if you don't, I think you get the idea.""<br/><br/>Ellfen said while grinning mischeivously. Oh this was gonna be good if he accepted. Opposite elements against one another ALWAYS made a good match. She quickly held on to her dish that she had when Suzune suddenly made plates spin. Sheesh she needed to learn how to control her stuff sometimes.<br/><br/>""I agree with Makki, assigned classes are horrible. As if I wanna listen to Politics and Diplomacy! I couldn't care less about those things! I am TRIBAL, not politicial! Which is why I never gave much effort in those classes. Now I get to choose what I want, and since I'll like it then I wont be as much of a trouble maker... maybe.""<br/><br/>Ellfen snickered again and turned her attention back to Makki and shrugged.<br/><br/>""Dunno.""<br/><br/>She then started to twirl one of her fingers out of boredom and sand particles gathered and formed a mini sand-tornado above her fingertip."

The nature of the Southern Water Tribe's location was one harsh and stark to those looking in, but to their inhabitants, it was home. It was all that they knew, excluding those that went off to fight in the worldly conflicts. Life there was simple: children playing in the snow and ice, sons being taught how to fish by their fathers, weekly gatherings as a whole tribe filled with dance and feasts. This was Sayomi grew to know and that is why the Lion Turtle Bending School appealed to her.<br/><br/>The subtly sweet scent wafting from the exotic flowers, the vibrant greens that decorated the landscape with an artist's touch, the cool breeze that blew ever so often that caressed her face. All things new that she could have only dreamed about seeing.<i>I'm so glad that Alana sent me here.</i>she thought to herself as she walked through the corridors of the school.<br/><br/>She had endured long speeches, instructions, directions, and tours since she arrived and it wore her out mentally. When it came time to eat, she sought a table with little to no people and sat there, allowing her to recollect herself with her thoughts instead of focusing on eating. Lucky for her, Alana packed her a roasted fish that she could eat later."

Her Iguana Parrot landed on her shoulder.<i>""Hey there Iggy""</i>She said to her friend as she caressed its head.<i>""we're almost done, then we'll eat, you impatient creature.""</i>It was getting dark and it looked as if it would start raining soon as well. She made sure the turtle ducks were in the shelter she had built for them. The little turtle ducklings that had hatched a few months ago, were -despite the fact that they had grown a lot already- still horribly cute. Finally she carefully brought in the sabertooth moose-lion. Now Bob -the moose-lion- was mostly easygoing, but he reacted very badly to the Armadillo Lion that her very own brother had thought of as a good idea to bring to a school environment. Luckily the armadillo lion was asleep in his cage, and bob followed her without any struggles. The first drops of rain fell on her skin as she walked towards the school building. In the distance, she could vaguely hear thunder. Before she went in, she took a deep breath to smell the scent of the coming summerstorm. She exhaled with a sigh and opened the door.<br/><br/>Inside she found that dinner was coming to an end. As she walked over to the teachers table, she overheard some conversations from students. Many of them were about what people had been doing in the summer. Some talked about what they hoped to be doing this year and some welcomed the first years. Or made fun of them. Many conversations however, were also about pro-bending. She could even hear some students talking about a name for their team already. A few tables further the sandbender girl was trying to stir things up. Lana rolled her eyes. Always the same with this girl. She was a good kid though. Tough as well. Lana was just not in the mood to have to fetch Healer Kormak later.<br/><br/>When she was about to sit down to eat something, she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Jingo.<i>""Let's bring the kids to bed.""</i>He said with his deep and monotone voice.<br/><i>""Damn""</i>she muttered under her breath. She was getting very hungry now. Jingo silently looked at her.<br/><i>""Fine. I mean: yes, let's show them the dormitories.""</i><br/>She gave Iggy a piece of fish and she took a chunk of bread for herself to chew on. With the chunk of bread still in her hand, she stood in front of the hall, next to Jingo. The large firebender just stood there in front of the hall, waiting for a few seconds. His presence commanded respect in a totally different way than headmaster Saigei's did. When the students closest to him realised that he wanted to say something, they went silent. Their example was followed by the students around them. Then, before it was silent, but when the volume had dropped enough, Jingo spoke:<i>""First years. Gather here and take your belongings with you. Miss Lana and I will show you to the dormitories.""</i><br/><br/>Leanara had already brought a group of first years to the front. The other first years were quickly taking their bags and whatnot and also joined the group. From the way that Leanara looked at her, she could tell what she was thinking. Namely: 'Why can't the man be a bit more welcoming to the kids? Now he sounds like a sergeant.' Or something along those lines. Lana thought that the Politics and Diplomcy teacher had never had quite understood Jingo. But then again, Lana was one of the few people who knew his warmer side."

She surveyed the dining hall to notice two teachers standing near the entrance.<i>Dammit, I should have eaten.</i>Slowly, she stood from her seat and weaved through the tables to stand in the front with a group of other First Years, mainly eager to see with whom they would be rooming with. This didn't matter to her for she was sure she would get along with whomever she was paired with. It would also give her a chance to interact with other benders if she was lucky, especially since she hadn't spoken to many people since she had arrived.<br/><br/>""Um, sir? Will you tell us our roommates before we get to the dorms?"" Her olive cheeks flushed a warm red for she realized she had spoken out of turn. Quickly, she averted her gaze from Jingo's eyes with shame, her long, black hair falling into her face as she looked toward the ground."

And if you prove your strength, I'll join you, but if you don't, I think you get the idea.""<br/><br/>An interesting prospect, Makki seemed to be skilled but he wasted his potential as a water bender with his pranks and his follies. If it was a no holds barred fight, it would be more interesting, but a fight of this level would have to make do. Plus he still needed a team, It seemed as if he wanted to join a team, he would have to make his interests apparent. Jinto unfolded his arms and stopped the spinning plate between his fingers. With his usual bored grimace on his face he spoke, ""I accept, If I want to be on a team I'll need practice..."". It was dependent on Makki, if he didn't fight, Jinto would be lost on a chance to improve himself.<br/><br/>He looked over at the first years and noticed they were leaving the dining room. ""If you really want to fight, just tell me when and where"" Jinto said, ""but if you aren't serious, I will not fight you"", there was a slight on one's honor should they fight an enemy who does not have the heart to fight at 100% , a quality Jinto found in many of the other students in the school and was disappointed by."

She certainly had a point and he had not thought about bending in such a light before.<br/><br/>""I'd never thought about it like that before..."" He admitted, ""But just try not to get sand in people's eyes.""<br/><br/>At the mention of needing to prove his strength, Makki stood up, preparing himself to fight Ellfen right then and there but fortunately for the main hall, she had had something else in mind. She had went on to indicate Jinto, the firebender that sat a little ways away at the same table. He felt himself deflate inside and the excitement he had built up was suddenly gone. He was not afraid to fight the quiet man, but he had always seen Jinto as a fun stopper.<br/><br/>""If that's what it takes, then I'll fight him."" Makki declared, an instant after Jinto himself agreed.<br/><br/>Getting up from his seat, Makki rolled his shoulders and grinned. It would be a good fight and there was no better opponent as Jinto was by far the most skilled firebending student in the school. He would not have doubted if Jinto had developed his skills enough to bend lightning. His thoughts were brought back to the discussion from earlier about advanced forms of bending. Bending metal and lightning were useful skills, but waterbending's ultimate technique was purely evil. Bloodbending. Makki hoped never to learn it and that no one else discovered the secret to the art. A world without that power was a better world altogether.<br/><br/>""I'm serious, Jinto."" Makki said, pulling his mind back to reality, ""Let's say, tomorrow, after class. We can use the arena. Standard Pro-bending rules apply though.""<br/><br/>Seeing that others were beginning to leave the hall, Makki thought it a good time to retire to his room. He had arrived a few days prior and had been assigned to a new room further down the hall with the men's dorms.<br/><br/>""I think I'll head to my room."" Makki said and gave the group a heart filled wave. He followed the flow of firstyears, nodding to the teachers as he passed them."

Having a choice of what classes to take was great. The process of trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life was going to be the tough part.<br/><br/>She switched her gaze between Jinto and Makki. It would be interesting to see a fight between the two. Jinto was a bit more brutal of a fighter, but that just came with his upbringing. Makki, however was also a skilled fighter, but she could already see his mouth getting in the way. It would be interesting to watch the fight though. She turned and looked at the First Years being led off to the dorm rooms. She chuckled a bit at the first year who was a little bit to eager about room assignments.<br/><br/>She stifled ad yawn and got up as well. She forced her way through the crowd until she caught up to Makki. “Makki, are you sure you want to fight Jinto so early in the school year. While I’m not saying that you’re going to lose, I mean you both have a fighting chance.” she stopped talking for a few seconds to catch her breath. “I’m not going to go on I don't want to get into your head that would probably be bad.”<br/><br/>She looked around, she wasn't exactly sure what to say next. The crowd was pretty thick so going against it would probably be pretty difficult... “What classes are you going to take?”"

She loved fights. Her grin faltered a slight bit when Makki mentioned that Pro-bending rules applied. She mentally growled in annoyance. Rules here always got on her nerves. Sure her stronghold had rules, but SO many that it made you have to think over your strategy just to keep teachers from going mad or keep yourself from using your strongest technique.<br/><br/><i>'That'll have to change...'</i><br/><br/>She said to herself mentally. As Makki left her expression changed from the excited grin to a zoned-out in thought expression.<br/><br/><i>'But of course I can't do anything about it as long as teachers are aware... I suppose THIS fight can have the standard rules, but future fights wont have those. No, we'll fight like the Tribe does.'</i><br/><br/>Ellfen absentmindedly made the small sand tornado above her finger begin forming a small structure.<br/><br/><i>'We'll need a place that is secret. No one can possibly know of it other than those who participate in the fights. But where?'</i><br/><br/>She glanced over at the structure she had been forming and noticed that it made something that looked similar to a tunnel with an opening at the end. Ellfen's zoned-out expression suddenly changed to a wicked micheivous grin.<br/><br/><i>'Underground of course..!'</i><br/><br/>She turned her head and looked over at Jinto.<br/><br/>""Okay. You and I know that we BOTH don't like the rules here. So, how would you like to help me form a secret arena where people like us can fight however we want?""<br/><br/>She said grinning.<br/><br/>""I can use my Sand... and<i>you</i>can use your Lightning.""<br/><br/>Ellfen smashed the structure that she was forming and the sand came through between her fingers and began floating around her hand.<br/><br/>""We could practice all we want. With<i>whatever</i>we want.""<br/><br/>The sand particles came together and formed a small snake that wrapped around her wrist."

They were already huddling together, usually those with the same element and Makki assumed it was because they might have known each other. During his first year, he had stayed by Northern Water Tribe students for the first week or so until he had had a chance to get to know others in his classes.<br/><br/>Makki looked down at Suzume as she caught up with him. She was one of those people he had gotten to know though he could remember many a time when he had annoyed her with an outburst in class. ""To be honest, I'd rather not fight him at all."" He said with a shrug of his shoulders, ""He's...too focused. I have no doubt he's better than me in a fight, but at least using pro-bending rules will even the odds."" He looked forward and into the backs of various heads as they moved as one down the corridor. ""Don't worry about it. I'm confident I can put up a fight. Maybe I'll even win. I expect you to be there, Suzume."" He gave a friendly wink before putting a hand on her shoulder and steering her through the crowd to the back where the noise was significantly less.<br/><br/>""I'll be taking the Animals course for sure and Martial Arts. Apart from those, I was thinking Chi and Chakras, and Spirits."" He explained, counting down the classes on his fingers, ""It seems proper to take spirits considering I live a stone's throw away from a Spirit Portal."" The great Avatar Korra had left the spirit portals open to encourage spirits and humans living together peacefully. It had been hard, but slowly it was working just as she had hoped. The spirits had become a valued part of water tribe society and Makki was not sure he would want to live in a world without them.<br/><br/>""What about you, what classes do you want to join?"" Makki watched the first years split into two groups, one heading towards the girl's dormitory, and the boys to theirs. He stopped where they had separated and turned to face his airbending friend."

If the only thing leveling the odds was the Pro-bending rules, then what was going to happen if there was ever a way to fight outside of the Pro-Bending Arena. ""Of course I'll be there, someone has to be there to make sure you don't tear Jinto apart!""<br/><br/>She let Makki guide her through the crowd, leave it to a water bender to know how to navigate any kind of river. She had to refrain herself from telling the joke, it seemed like it would come across wrong, Makki probably would have taken it well, but who knows. She smiled a bit when she learned that he would be taking Martial Arts, along with Chi and Chakras. It was interesting that he lived so close to one of the Spirit Portals she would have to ask him more about that later. The Spirits were a touchy subject in her house, as her 'father' didn't seem to want anything to do with them, and he would prefer if his family didn't have anything to do with them either.<br/><br/>“I'm still not positive on what classes I want to take. I know that Martial arts, Chi & Chakras have made the cut on my list, it’s the other two classes that I can’t think of.” She sighed “I just need to get the most I can out of this school, otherwise it really will be a waste.” She turned red and started waving her hands in front of her face. “Forget what I just said, it has nothing to do with anything ever!” She stopped freaking out, and shrugged. “Diplomacy and Spirits might be a good combination with some of the stuff I already have picked out. I guess it should be a hard decision, but in a way I have a lot riding on this school.” She yawned and stretched her arms. “I guess I’ll be heading off to my room. Hopefully the next-door neighbors aren't being too loud.” She grinned at Makki. “See you at breakfast tomorrow!”"

He had been taught to put honor first, should he go through with her plan, he would only use the facility for training. Fighting in secret was without glory and honor, as well as against the oppressive, but reasonable rules of the school. While he didn't disagree with school rules, he was a guest at the facility and he had been taught the manners of a polite guest. He would follow the rules, to an extent.<br/><br/>""I will be open to this secret facility, but any fight in secret isn't a fight that interests me."" Jinto said as he stood up from his seat. The gathering was over and he would have to get rest before his day of classes tomorrow. He had chosen his classes according to what he believed would assist him the best in the future, Martial Arts, Chi and Chakras, Spirits, and Literature.<br/><br/>""We can discuss this after the match tomorrow,"" Jinto said as he turned to leave. As he started to walk he stopped himself and turned back to Ellfen. ""I'll be willing to join a team as well."" He said before exiting the room. Ellfen was a skilled earthbender as well as a sandbender, having her on a team would serve to be profitable. He spotted Makki and the girl Suzume chatting at the split between the paths that went to the different dorms. He walked past them down the path to the boy's dormitory without giving them another glance."

I'll be going with the boys. Come on boys. This way.""</i>He gestured the boys in which direction to go and made sure they all would follow him.<br/>Miss Finnalock gathered the girls.<i>""That's right girls, you can follow me.""</i>As she walked with the group to the dormitories, she made sure to walk next to Sayomi for a while.<i>""Don't worry""</i>She said.<i>""the dormitories are quite large, so you'll be sleeping in the same room with quite a few other girls. But I'm sure you will get along just fine.""</i><br/>As they entered the empty room, Miss Finnalock began explaining the few rules they had -like silence after 22:00, and then she read the list with the names of the girls and their assigned rooms.<br/>When the girls had installed themselves somewhat, she wished them goodnight and went to her own room. She was dead tired.<br/><br/>...........<br/><br/>day 1:<br/><br/>Faisha Maan was up early on the first day of school this year. As she stepped outside her little temple to the north of the school, she enjoyed the dew on the grass that stroked her naked ankles. It was a little foggy as a result from the storm last night. But it was probably going to clear up soon.<i>""Good morning Mokka.""</i>. She said to her airbison. Her compagnion had gotten his name due to his strange but harmless complexion, that caused his fur colours to be reversed compared to other airbisons. So instead of the regular white with brown arrows, Mokka was a warm dark brown with beige arrows on his fur.<br/>After breakfast, Faisha awaited the second year students together with Mokka, right in front of the temple.<br/><br/>Rosanna Hearthache had a less peaceful morning. After Leonardo, the penguin otter from that senile history teacher, had 'mistakenly' eaten her breakfast, she found herself now hurrying to the classroom. There was just no arguing with a man who had such childish reasonings. Sometimes she thought he was just fooling everybody with his -happy go lucky atittude. If she couldn't do it, how could an old man do it. Unless he was slowly losing his mind ofcourse.<br/>Next to that, she wasn't looking forward to a class that might have completely illiterate students in them<i>again</i>. Not that she knew of anybody who couldn't read yet in the next class. But she had had student last year and it had been a pain for someone like her.<br/>There were so many beautiful things in the world of literature, and she didn't want to waste her time on people that would just never get it anyway. At least she was on time, she thought as she entered the classroom. There were no students there yet. She closed her eyes for a moment, touched her forehead with a few fingers and took a few deep breaths. Lessons were going to start again."

</blockquote><br/><br/>Yeah but there were TWO saber cats infront of the guy! Ya know, at least giving him a final battle with someone would give him a bit more to remember in the after life. It would kinda suck to die from an animal or your usual bandit. After I killed him I put the saber cats on each side of him and then I put a deathbell flower on his chest. I knew he wasn't gonna be there when I returned but I just felt like doing it lol. Plus when you tell him that you're not gonna kill him it REALLY annoys him so I didn't want to piss him off too bad. I think he's the one that made me respect Orcs more to be honest"

Will they be able to overcome it or will it destroy them slowly bringing everything Professor X had worked for? Friends become enemies, groups will form and the trust for others will break for those outside there group. Then there are those who stand in the middle but can being neutral last? While the older generation of X-Men will have to deal with this upcoming problem the new class will have to take charge and show there worth out in the field.<br/><br/>October 3rd, 2011. Somewhere over Africa the newbies have one of the hardest fights in their young careers as an X-Man. The Shadow King has taken Storm again and has been doing so over the last few months, slowly beating the weather witch down to the point where he could take control of her. Many could sense something was up but none of them could get anything out of her. The newbies had managed to find Storm in Wakanda, one of the most prominent African nations which is surrounded by several other countries known as Azania, Canaan and Narobia. The team needed to be careful as they were fighting Storm; they were briefed on what they needed to do.<br/><br/>They needed to keep the Shadow King busy so Xavier could use his powers to seal him away again, maybe this time forever. Wolverine leads the students on this mission but stays back to let the students deal with this; stepping in when needed, X-23 was also present. Logan was other than Storm the only experienced member there. The black bird was not too far away, the jet that allowed any and all X-Men to travel to any part of the world. The Shadow King did the see the young mutants as a threat as only astral energies and psionic attacks could bring him down. For the most part the young ones were being blown about by the strong winds Storm was using on them with lightning strikes to keep them away from each other; this was a sort of game to the Shadow King.<br/><br/>Plasma was not having fun as she liked Storm and she did not want to hurt her though at this point how could she when her powers did not work half of the time. The force of the wind being used against her sends her flying back and forth like a piece of paper caught in the wind. Cannonball and Magma find themselves colliding into each other a lot while Multi-man and Boom-Boom find themselves dodging lightning strikes. The students not being harassed by the wind had to keep on their feet as lightning could hit them at any time. They each had to call out to Storm as well during this in an attempt to bring her back though this was also to aid Professor X in bringing Storm back.<br/><br/>The winds keeping her back soon died down as the Shadow King focused on others for the time being. Plasma felt a little motion sick as she slowly got up from the dusty ground; she then began to dust herself off making her say “I just got this cleaned.” Half of her outfit now had brown spots, some spots heavier than others. She hoped the others were doing better as she gave the battle field a look over, it was pretty hectic as she watched two mutants collide into each other; it looked like it hurt as well. There were two teams though she was looking mainly out for the team she was on and so she looked out for Darkshadow and the others on her team."

She was thankful that the Shadowking had summoned clouds at least, to better enable Ororo's power of lightning. Her own costume, composed of shadowstuff had been more transparent than usual in the blazing light of the savannah sun. She gazed at the floating figure of Ororo, her blue eyes searching for some weakness. She hated lightning, concentrated light, burned through her powers.<br/><br/>Darkshadow ducked low, keeping herself behind a cluster of rocks. She preferred stealth to direct confrontation, preferred to hide in shadow and darkness and project walls of shadow to escape when confronted. How did one sneak up on a telepath? Worse still, she was unable to hurl daggers, shuriken or anything else at the possessed Ororo Munroe. Hurling a baseball sized sphere of darkness Sarah watched as it was grasped by invisible winds, thrown aside and ripped into shreds. Worse still, this was bloody Africa! She could scarcely imagine a more powerful sun overhead to diminish her powers.<br/><br/>This time, when one of the others attacked, she'd blind the bastard with some summoned darkness mere moments before the strike. Then, with luck, he'd not switch to his telepathy in time to see it and avoid it. If Ororo was knocked unconscious all the astral possession in the world wouldn't help him control her!"

It seemed at the time her lightning bolts were being targeted else where; he saw in the corner of his vision a ball of darkness just get tossed away and destroyed as if it were nothing.<br/><br/>He focused his sights on Storm once more as he moved forwards her as if he were on a conveyor belt, cupping his hands around his mouth he tried to yell over the harsh winds:<br/><br/>""<b>Miss Storm - please try to fight this, you are stronger then this you have to fight back, realize who you are Miss Storm!</b>""<br/><br/>trying to think ahead John had an idea, if he couldn't reach her as she floated in the air letting off her powers, he might be able to do something if he tried to lift himself up to her in a column of earth and knocked her out - great plan he thought - just one slight problem; he didnt quite know if he was able to maintain something like that, after all he was a new student to the school and not much control over his powers - but he could prepare himself for it and did one of the few things he knew he could do, he burrowed his way underground and began to move under where storm was."

They didn't really have the tools necessary to take down the Shadow King, but if they didn't render Storm unconscious soon they could very well be casualties of the weather witch's insurmountable power. She retracted her claws and made a quick dash towards her teammates, individually they had about as much of a chance of ""winning"" as they did of winning the lottery. John was attempting to reason with the sort-of possessed Storm, to which Laura issued a grunt of disapproval. Among the varies plans of attack, Talon realized that he was definitely going to need a codename if they made it through this. Maybe Tectonic? She pushed the thought down, as if the pressing matters made that difficult.<br/><br/>With some difficulty she tried to bark orders into her comm, ""We must incapacitate Storm. As a<i>team</i>."" Not that her impatience would shine through the wind and rain assaulting everybody, but she still took a fraction of a second to regret the tone. She knew that, for all their drilling, everyone else would come to that realization too...but they needed to pull together on this one. Following one bad plan was better than three or four decent ones that contradicted each other.<br/><br/>""John, I know it is Storm, but we have got to attack. Try and keep her busy and, maybe help me get to her. Plasma, can you fire pot-shots at her? Shadow King does not know how to use her powers like she does, she is feral. We need to take her down. Now.""<br/><br/>A bolt of lightning punctuated her sentence for her, she barely acknowledged her own reactions to the strike. It landed a few feet off, forcing her out of cover and into the open against the wind and slanted rain. The pelts felt like rocks and the wind made it hard to move much of anywhere. Instinctively, Laura threw her hands up to protect her eyes from the weather's onslaught before another bolt of lightning blasted straight through her. She felt the air sizzling around her, smelled her cooked flesh before her nerves even had a chance to react. Her heart had stopped and the metal in her hands and feet singed and cooked right onto the blades. The mic, of course, fried and sent feedback through the other comm links; her body simply rolled across the uncharacteristically muddy ground.<br/><br/>It took a few moments for her to move again, for her heart to return to normal. She extended her claws, tearing the cauterized flesh so it would heal properly. Her muscles ached and continued to spasm as she pulled her self up, groggy at first before breaking into a sprint for new cover. Apparently Shadow King disliked coordination, perhaps it wasn't all wild strikes."

Despite her own powers over electricity, she didn't know if she could handle getting hit with something as raw and powerful as lightning, and three times now, she had almost gotten zapped. Every time she tried to blast Storm, the Shadow King had her blast Aya with enough wind to throw her aim off, and follow it with a bolt. If this kept up, then they were fucked. If they could get Storm onto the ground, then Aya could tase her. She didn't even bother wondering if they could get Aya herself, airborne, considering the winds and all that.<br/><br/>Just then Talon's voice came over the radio (Oh, and what a lovely voice it is... even with the mild irritation), as she relayed instructions. Until the radio suddenly cut out with a high-pitched squeal. Ripping the earpiece out, Aya cradled her poor ear ""Son of a... FUCK! That hurt"" she vented, punching the boulder ""Now, I'm fucking pissed"". Almost tempted to run at the witch and start blasting away, Laura's last set of instructions made her think. 'Keep her busy, eh... I can do that' she thought, peeking around the corner of the boulder. She witnessed one her teammates (Jake? No... Jack... wait... Oh, yeah! John... I think? Fuck it, I don't know) sink into the ground, almost as if he was preparing to launch himself upwards toward Storm's back.<br/><br/>'What the... oh. Clever little bastard. But, if he's spotted, he's dead...' Aya thought, a rather creepy grin sneaking onto her face. ""Why should he have all of the fun"" she said, as her forearms burst with electricity. Suddenly, she ran out to her left, launching a few bolts toward Storm (well, technically they're off to her side, don't wanna fry the kid when he gets airborne, funny as that would be), then switching directions and firing more, doing her best to keep Storm's attention squared solely on her. Sensing a bolt lining up with her current position, Aya quickly arced herself (it's what I call my ""teleporting"" technique... Arcing... sound's cool, right?) out of the way... but, moving that fast over such a short distance makes it difficult to stop, and Aya stumbled off-balance for half a second... which was all Storm needed to catch her with a massive gust of wind 'Oh, Fuck me' was the last thing Aya thought before she struck a rock... really fucking hard..."

As she was being knocked about she heard X-23 give some orders off though that was short lived as she heard a loud sound which was quite deafening. She heard the words pot shots; she did not want to hit Storm as she did not have the ability to take such a thing. She thought about giving a warning shot off but she then noticed Ayame and John had a plan. Plasma soon grabbed the nearest object that was stuck to the ground so she would not be blown about like a plastic bag.<br/><br/>The Shadow King had his eyes on nearly all of the mutants, the only ones he was missing was Wolverine, John and X-23. Darkshadow tried to blind the Shadow King and she succeeded when Ayame went in for some attacks. This just made the possessed Storm fire blindly causing damage to all nearby. “Foolish mutants, you are only delaying you’re demise.”<br/><br/>The Shadow King had his focus broken due to being blinded making him say “Foolish mutants, you cannot defeat the Shadow King with such tactics.” A big grin appeared on Storm’s face though the Shadow King did not see John’s surprise attack as they were insects to him. He enjoyed toying with the newbies, He had Plasma all over the place, and he also swept Ayame off her feet when she stumbled giving him enough time to throw a wind attack in her direction. Before the Shadow King knew it John had launched an attack which would encase Storm and he managed to get his target, the Shadow Kings cockiness was his down fall but would the plan work.<br/><br/>Once Storm was encased, the darkness that blinded her vanished, her fear started to kick in making the Shadow Kings hold on her weaken but at the same time making Storm feel very uncomfortable. “Walls closing in, nowhere to go I…… I…….” Her words stopped as the Shadow King fought with her to stay in control, this gave Professor X his chance to battle the Shadow King in his plain of existence which was all in Storm’s head. The Shadow King now had to fight Storm who was resisting him at this point and the Professor who was trying to remove him. With each moment that passed Storm got closer and closer to losing it which soon forced her to make a big boom of lightning strike what was encasing her to break her free.<br/><br/>The Shadow King losing his grip as the Professor and he did battle to see who would win, would the Shadow King regain control or would the professor put him away again and maybe this time for good. Once Storm was free of her prison, an experienced X-man was too strong to contain, all they needed to do know was calm her down while the professor gave the Shadow King the boot. If they could calm her down they would get Storm back sooner then they planned. The winds soon picked up and so they needed to hurry up, the thought of knocking her out occurred to some of the newbies, namely Cannonball and Boom-Boom.<br/><br/>The professor was way too strong for the Shadow King and his defeat was that much closer, but as long as he held on to Storm as much as he could he would not defeated completely. If the newbies could bring her around the professor could finish the Shadow King off and the mission would be completed. He needed the Shadow Kings hold complete removed or the Shadow King would return."

Her black filled eyes emptied of shadow and became azure blue once more. It stung. Most of her vision was one giant field of neon colours, rapidly shifting from one shade of green, becoming red, then yellow and finally blue before returning to green. Her retinas were burned but it was fading quickly. Her costume, for the briefest moment, almost faded from existence before snapping back to becoming near opaque.<br/><br/>""Move fast!"" Sarah called out, not knowing what the Professor needed and only that Storm was a threat that needed to be neutralized, ""someone hit her with the tranq gun before she gets back to blasting us!""<br/><br/>Not having a tranquilizer gun herself, Sarah opted to do otherwise. Aiming carefully, Sarah hefted a blunt ended javelin she had created completely out of shadow with little more than a thought. Gazing down its length she threw her arm forward and loosed the javelin, hoping to strike the African weather goddess in the jaw."

As he stood he could see Darkshadow lining up to take a shot at Storm, seeing something that resembled a javelin, The Earth Elemental decided to wait and see what would happen of Darkshadow's attempt before going in for another shot himself.<br/><br/>Thinking to himself John realized that in her state, Storm would not notice if he did a repeat of his last attack but instead of encasing her he could just smack her one to knock her out. through the blustering gales and the odd bolt of lightning, John slowly made his way over to the other mutants: "" We need to regroup!"" he tried to shout over the roaring of the wind and hoping to see who was still at least somewhat up and about."

Gritting her teeth against the pain, she pulled herself to her feet, looking up to see if her efforts had born fruit, and was relived to see John encase Storm in a bubble of earth. Unfortunately, the relief was very short-lived as a massive bolt decimated the earthen prison and sent the rock-mover flying to the ground. ""Jesus, that's one hell of a panic attack. Remind me never to lock HER in the closet"" Aya chuckled to herself, but quickly grimaced ""Ow, ow, ow... hurts to laugh"".<br/><br/>Shaking off the pain, she moved closer to the battle, when she noticed Darkshadow outta the corner of her eye, recovering from the bright flash of electricity. 'Huh, nice bod' Aya thought with smile, not failing to notice the effect bright lights had on the shadow mutants unique costume 'I'll file that image away for later access' she smiled, watching her throw a javelin at Storm. But her attention was quickly drawn away by John, who had recovered and made his way over to the rest of them. Barely hearing his request to regroup over the damn winds, Aya began loosening her arms for action ""About time! You got a plan there, Earth-Shaker?!?"" she asked, having to shout over all the noise ""'Cause I'm rip-roarin' PISSED-THE-FUCK-OFF!!!"" she finished, her arms blasting to life and a psycho smile creeping on her face."

In serpentine patterns she leaped and dodged away from any potential dangers; even if there didn't appear to be, she didn't much feel like getting another taste of lightning. A plan struck her like an aforementioned bolt and her pace quickened towards her nearest team member. Darkshadow's exploits had gone relatively unseen in the chaos, but she hoped the promiscuous woman could muster up enough strength for what she had in mind. Despite her new plan her instincts still craved blood, it would have been the easiest solution if she could actually get close to Storm. Of course, the parts of her brain that had been trained out of this knee-jerk reaction quelled the calling for culling easily, but it was always a dull spoon digging into her consciousness like hunger pangs on the losing end of starvation.<br/><br/>Laura made it to Bamf with, thankfully, no real danger. ""My communications are down, I need you to relay a plan. It is only theory, but it is something. Have John create an overhang with the earth, enough to cast darkness on Storm,"" she figured at this point the rest would already come to him, but out of habit she continued on without so much as a formal greeting for her teammate, ""and get Darkshadow close enough to bind her with shadows and constrict. If possible, get Discharge close enough to shock her unconscious while Darkshadow holds her. I will do my best to draw her attention and to reach Plasma."" Feeling that if she could trust anyone to carry out such a plan, it would be their resident teleporting ninja, she took off in another serpentine sprint, but this time towards the center of the action.<br/><br/>Lightning bolts crashed around her, which she avoided by the most uncomfortably thin of margins, and hail pelted her, but she continued on through the largest gusts of wind. With a burst of either creativity, bravery or stupidity (or some malicious concoction of the three) she climbed John's stairs, crouched at the apex and pushed off with all the unnatural strength in her legs in a leaping maneuver that her adoptive father would be proud of. With any luck, she'd manage to wrap her limbs around storm and drag her down. With far too much luck, she might actually lock in a choke hold, but that was doubtful. All she needed to buy was some of Shadow King's concentration and a few more seconds for her team.<br/><br/>Mostly she expected to kiss another bolt of lightning and, with nowhere to go, spend most of the night getting used to whatever limb it decided to burst out of."

In theory the plan was the only logical way forward but John worried - not for the others as he had slowly learned at the school; but for what control the earth mutant had over his power.Something which showed as the others talked and confirmed the plan, seemingly with out checking to see if this was something that was possible for the earth mutant - they all knew that sometimes his power controlled him rather then him in control of his power; which had quite disastrous affects, which worried John that something might go wrong and he might end up wounding Storm or anyone planning to climb up this earthen structure that was to be created.<br/><br/>""Guys"" John roared over the howling winds ""I'm not sure if I could do such a thing, are there any backup plans at all?"" as the last word left his lips, his face fell and he stared at the floor and the feet of himself and his team, but after mulling things over - it would not be worthy of his place as an x-man if he sand bagged and so after several deep breaths he spoke up once more.<br/><br/>""Right, I will try but I will need your help guys - there is a chance that something may go wrong and a rogue element might occur so I will need you to deal with them, specially if something looks like it will hurt Storm or one of the others."" As he spoke his mind relived some of the more disastrous attempts at trying to train and control his powers - causing large earthquakes which affected a good portion of the city, the danger room being out of commission as John had tried to create an earthen element during a session and instead managed to rip open a wall and near enough buried the danger room.<br/><br/>Shaking his head to rid himself of the negative images he took a few steps away and slowly sank to the ground sitting cross legged, hands palm down on the ground with his eyes half open as he concentrated on the task at hand. Eventrually a series of earthen buds sprouted in a line behind storm which slowly began to bloom and intertwine slowly became a sturdy looking wall which grew until it became a large overhand looming over the weather witch, meanwhile John began to sweat as he concentrated on keeping the wall as is and half hoping nothing would go wrong."

The confusion in her head gave members of the X-Men a chance to strike and so when the javelin grew close it did indeed hit her. The javelin did strike Storm where Darkshadow decided to target her. In a matter of seconds the javelin connected with Ororo’s jaw. The witch suddenly felt it as she turned in the direction of the force caused by the object thrown at her. The pain caused by it threw Storm off.<br/><br/>Inside her mind the professor and the Shadow King were at it as they both sent a blast at each other in order to regain more control of Storm. Professor X eventually said “It is only a matter of time, my X-Men and I will defeat you.” The Shadow King was unaffected by his words and soon gave him a laugh which had a lot of confidence in it. His laugh followed up with some words “I will defeat you Xavier and after I do I will kill every X-man here and when I have finished that I will KILL THE OTHERs UNTIL NO X-MAN IS LEFT ALIVE, YOU HEAR ME.” The professor only replied with “We will see about that.” The battle was turning as the Xavier was slowly beating him down.<br/><br/>Storm showed she had felted the attack dealt by Darkshadow making her shoot a bolt of lightning her way once more though the power was much weaker, was it a sign of her getting weaker, did the blow do more than it let on. Ororo soon turned her attention round to see both John and Aya and she was about to strike them though something caught her attention though was it a little too late. Storm tried to get rid of what was over her and as she tried to do something a ball of what looked like green acid passed her stopping her in her tracks. It was from Plasma, it was all clear from her point of view as Storm was no longer targeting her but was targeting the others.<br/><br/>Plasma was surprised she got something off and she was happy she did not hit the weather witch either or things would get nasty. The witch gave Plasma no time as she sent winds to send Plasma off her feet and sent her flying into the sky. The group now had an opening to knock her out and she hoped they would take it. She gave the few on the ground a look as she soon saw a bolt fly at her, she was not going to dodge it as the wind threw her towards it. As the bolt struck her Plasma tried to hide the pain in by gritting her teeth. She was however soon knocked unconscious and had gained many burns as well. She was soon sent free falling; the X-Men had to strike now before she turned her attention on them once more.<br/><br/>“How can this be, I am losing my grasp on my Ororo, I WON’T GO BACK.” The fight was coming to an end making him think of leaving Storm and taking someone else but he had to be quick. The professor however was not going to make it easy for him to do so and so needed the X-Men to knock Storm out so he could finish this."

The Wall stopped growing as John was trying to think of his feet as one thing struck his mind:<i>KNOCK HER OUT!</i>It was almost as if his power was acting on its own rather then being under John's control a large fist of earth soon loomed out of the wall striking Storm with just enough force to knock her out.<br/><br/>The wind died down, the bolts of lightning ceased and things calmed down as Storm fell with a thud on the ground, it was over, the large wall shrunk and crumbled away to nothingness as John moved over to Storm, checking to see if she was okay, that she was still alive and breathing before moving onto plasma as he had noticed she was lying on the ground covered in injuries.

They'd done it. More importantly she'd done it. She couldn't believe she hit Ororo and right where she aimed. While she'd been practicing at being a ninja and using her powers to hurl all sorts of things she still was a horrible, horrible shot. This was an unprecedented success. Then John brought her low with a thrust column of earth.<br/><br/>""Boo-Yah!"" Sarah Covenry exclaimed as Ororo went down and pumped her fists in the air, ""Did you see that? Did you!

The tiniest fractal of a smile formed on her typically stern lips as she retracted her claws and stood. They'd done it, the team had pulled it off. Without the storm whipping around unbearably in her ears, she could finally hear her team without the need of a comm device, even if she'd been whipped...what appeared to be...a good thirty yards away. She hardly remembered the fall, but that didn't matter. But...of course, the moment of pride shimmered into nothingness as soon as the egos opened their mouths. Not that the women were completely serious, but perhaps they should've been. They were standing over a fallen teammate in a strange countryside that was covered in mud and debris.<br/><br/>The air shifted, X sniffed at it and extended her claws once more out of habit. Not that they'd actually do much against a mostly formless enemy. She hoped and feared being chosen at the same time, it froze her for just an instant thinking that...within her mind she may have been able to trap him. So much damage had been done and undone, the scar tissue in her memories was as good as a shield, but...well, she could have easily killed every one of them. They wouldn't be arguing with each other then. X noted to chastise herself later for being sardonic at a time such as this.<br/><br/>Being cut off from the team brought a sudden rush of apprehension, she couldn't do that much from the other side of the battle field. With claws or otherwise, what they needed was a powerful psychic and, of that, they were precariously short. Save for the Professor, of course...What a damned mess, this shouldn't have been left to the kids. She wondered if...perhaps...Darkshadow could manipulate his entire form? X wasn't entirely sure and if the idea didn't come to the girl she would be absolutely floored. Useless to concentrate on that for now, what else could she do? Charge it? Laura was desperately, frustratingly in need of an enemy she could sink her claws into."

His skin began to crawl as he felt a disturbance in spacial relations around him out of nowhere, useful for feeling an incoming telelporter or in this case a manifestation. He formed the dojo in his mind, closing off all the doors but the arena he would allow access to if the battle were to begin, a novice maneuver but more than others in the group had.<br/><br/>""Spread out, this is the biggest game of tag of our lives! Wear him out, exhaust him, don't let him touch you until he can't keep a physical body.""<br/><br/>He took out a needle from the first aid kit and stabbed storm in the arm with a heavy dose of a neural suppressant made by forge to make her an inviable choice by shadow king.

She was prepared to roll, to skitter across the landscape, anything to escape falling into the clutches of the black mist with an all too human visage and crimson gaze.<br/><br/>Darkshadow gazed up at the small Japanese girl standing in front of her, wondering whatever it was that Aya could be thinking.

The attacks did nothing, though Darkshadow was now further away from him. “Don’t you want to play little Shadow” making him eye those around him. “It will be easier if you don’t resist me.” Before he could do anything else the Shadow King noticed he was being imprisoned in an earth like tomb making him laugh as he was covered completely. At first it seemed like it worked as no movement was made though after a minute had passed he escaped the earth like prison and forced it to collapse around him. He still had his grin as he went “If you won’t play with me then I know who will.”<br/><br/>His first step was away from where Aya and Darkshadow were. He seemed hell-bent on getting a body and none of them could really stop them. He did not pay attention to John, X-23 or Bamf either. His street rat was down for the count forcing him to charge to the one other mutant who was left and it was not Wolverine. Like a stampeding rhino he charged to the mutant he wanted, hitting any and all he got in the way. She was left pretty much defenseless. Plasma was his target though by this point Plasma had just got up from what she did not too long ago. The Shadow King shouted “Too late X-Men, I win this time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” He soon leaps into the host which knocks Plasma back a few steps.<br/><br/>The mutant known as Plasma soon found herself standing still as she put her hands on her head before screaming like she was being tortured. She could hear the Shadow King speak “Bend to my will little puppet, I have plans for you. But first let’s break you in.” Another blood curdling scream left the lips of Plasma before finding herself crashing to the ground like she had suddenly entered a coma like state. The Shadow King put his grip around Plasma’s inner spirits neck in order to keep her in control and to make her obey him. “Rest little Plasma, rest.”<br/><br/>Wolverine had watched the whole thing and he was not happy one bit as he roared out some orders. “We are withdrawing, bring Storm and Plasma here and let’s get out of here.” The last part he sounded disappointed though he was not disappointed with the newbies but at himself for letting this happen though he was powerless to stop the Shadow King himself. He soon whispered to himself “Sorry kid, I did not mean for this to happen.” He waited for the X-Men to return to the Blackbird. Within Wolverines mind he said “Charles we have a problem.” When they were on board he lifted off with the Black Bird leaving the battlefield behind him and setting off to return the students back home. He was pretty quiet at this point, he hoped the newbies were not down in the damps either."

On a good day German was not the kindest of sounding languages, now with him in a tiff it really did emphasize his displeasure.

With the newly reenergized starlight in feeding her body now at a regular pace, her head was clearing. Mama... She probably wasn't going to see her again, was she? Not with her dad fortifying his family from any and all mutants. Including her. But at least he could move on without the fear of damaging his reputation, no longer having a mutant for a daughter. A mutant... abomination... Asha sighed softly and looked at her black shoes.<br/><br/>She was dressed head to toe in thick, light absorbing, black cloth. The same kind they made blackout drapes from. The only skin showing was a narrow slit around her eyes. And there her mutation was hardly noticeable. Her once deep brown eyes now seemed to be lit from the inside, glowing bright as if hit by the sun. At least she wasn't radiating rainbow colored light right now. Sitting on her two suitcases, she surveyed the hall around her. This was a place for mutants? It looked more like a private school refurbished from an old manor or mansion or something.<br/><br/>Not that that was at all a bad thing. In fact it was almost beautiful. She'd read a book on architecture once. The molding and elegant decor of this hall seemed to be authentic, which was unusual in this modern age. Asha looked around even more and then spotted a mirror. Her entire body stilled. Slowly she got up and, putting one foot in front of the other carefully, approached it. Her slightly glowing eyes stared back at her, her black dressed form looking alien to her. Hesitantly she put a hand to her face. She cautiously drew down the thick black cloth covering her mouth and nose.<br/><br/>A creature changing color like a fish from the deepest depths of the sea stared back at her in disgust. The faces of her horrified face flashed in front of her mind. Quickly she pulled her mask back up over her luminescent face. Horrifying. She was horrifying. Tears stung at her eyes, threatening to spill over and brand her weak. But she blinked furiously and trudged back over to her suitcases, sitting back down, clenching her eyes shut in determination. No crying. She would never cry."

Xavier had put his hands together as he looked down at the desk in front of him. The news was troubling if it were to be true, he could not be sure and so had to treat it as if it were real. Beast and Cyclops exchanged looks; they themselves were shocked though really Beast and Professor X were more shocked then Scott was.<br/><br/>Xavier “This is troubling news and here I thought we were making great strides in making the world understand us.”<br/><br/>Beast “We cannot breathe a word of this until we know, we must have blue team investigate more. Maybe we can stop it before it is too late.”<br/><br/>Xavier “Yes that is the best action we can take right now, in this every growing split between man and mutant we must make sure we take the right steps.”<br/><br/>Cyclops “I will go out now and see what I can find Charles.”<br/><br/>Xavier “No……. Wait Scott, you can leave right after we greet the new member of the institute. As one of the older members I think it is only fitting.”<br/><br/>With that the discussion ended as the three soon made their way towards the location the young mutant was. The trio enter one hallway before making a left to another hallway where the young mutant was. The three walked up to the girl who was with her suitcases.<br/><br/>Xavier “Well hello there Asha, Asha Nightenlowe…… Do you remember me?”<br/><br/>Xavier would have mentioned his name but he was sure she remembered him; he was a beacon of light to most if not all the students and X-Men. Cyclops was standing to the left of the Professor X, though stood a few cm’s away and Beast was to the right. He had smile on his face, something Scott did have. His face was mostly blank though it also had a slight warm feeling to it.<br/><br/>Beast “If I may, why do you hide yourself young lady?”<br/><br/>He was curious to know about her, he was big and blue and in many ways knew what it was like being different in appearance; this was a guess he made and was not aware of her appearance due to her concealing herself so well. Only those conscious of themselves hide themselves, for all he knew he could be wrong about the guess he made. He could only wait for her to reveal herself if she was comfortable about it."

The air smelled of fear and discouragement, she couldn't help but let it seep in, ""Discharge, prepare to escape.""<br/><br/>Laura's claws receded with a<i>*snakt*</i>and she bolted around the younger mutant, knowing full and well Discharge was one of the fastest they had - she'd be fine. As she predicted the telepath demolished the earth prison, but...switched targets. Shortly thereafter she heard the comms crackle to life, someone else's of course. A familiar voice, a calming voice.

He definitely earned the right to be called a ninja.<br/><br/>X met the others in the Blackbird, she noticed some glances of avoidance and practically bite through the anger and disappointment that was emanating from her team.

""We have done the best we could. There is no shame in this. We have the Shadow King, we have subdued Storm and the Professor will save Plasma.

A tall man with odd choice in sunglasses, a man in a wheel chair and a... blue furry creature-man. Any expression that might be on her face was hidden by her dark cloth, the only key her glowing eyes. The older man in the wheel chair spoke first. His voice was... familiar. Clam and clear, saged with wisdom. She nodded her head forward and stood up, hands folded in front of her, feet together, back straight, as if she were to be inspected. It was just a reaction that had been ingrained in her.<br/><br/>""You are the one who spoke,” her voice was soft and smooth, gentle yet guarded, ""You guided me here.""<br/><br/>The man with the odd sunglasses looked at her and she nodded her head forward, distantly but politely.

Slipping the glove off her slender hand she kept her eyes on the ground.<br/><br/>Her hand glowed softly, pulsing the lights with her heartbeat. The multicolors lights like millions of stars beneath her skin, swirling and waltzing slowly. Her thick clothing had become sort of a cocoon. It made her feel safe. Without it she felt vulnerable...naked...defenseless.

Quickly she slipped her glove back on, her eyes still on the ground. ""It never turns off..."" she held her hands in front of her, eyes on the ground, ""I've...never been around...others like me.""

When the mix rolled around to ""Pussy"", he smiled knowingly while opening one eye to look over at Sarah.

He always had an eye on her for two reasons: Her powers of 'shadow' and ninjutsu training blended well with his own powers and skillset so they were often paired for training sessions. Second, if he's going to stare at someone then it might as well be the woman he's already spent many a time tumbling in the shadows with already.<br/><br/>Germany was far more liberal with things like ages of drinking and consent set at 14, but then again he was already killing people before then.

When dealing with ways to cope with such stress, his parents rather he become a... lovehound rather than an alcoholic.<br/><br/>But in that realm, those that survived were often more mutated than most with a greater power but at a cost of appearance, Such was not the case here with so few physical mutants who could do such incredible feats without tax to their bodies.

Plasma had been taken... while she had been fooling around... a comrade had been taken... for the first time since she escaped that hellhole, Aya felt weak. Pathetic. And useless. Trudging back to the blackbird, she kept up an air of indifference on the outside, but as she passed by Wolverine, she could tell... he could smell it. Her anger. Her frustration. Her despair. And in a small part of her mind... her glee. Yes, she was also glad. Glad she hadn't been the one taken by the Shadow King. Being a powerful psychic, she was all to aware of his ability to make her relive the darkest parts of her past. Memories she had been hesitant to share even with the professor. And memories she hadn't shared with the professor. He could've unlocked her subconsciousness and released her full power. And she wasn't sure if any of her teammates would've survived it... even Talon and Wolverine. And that led to the biggest emotion running through her mind, what she knew had a firm grasp on her heart right now, seeping into her mind, and oozing out her pores, into the nostrils of her hyper-sensitive comrades. Fear. She could keep it from her face, from her voice, from her body, but Aya was terrified of what might have happened. And for that, she was thankful. And that led to other emotions. It was a vicious cycle. One that continued to turn and turn and turn... consuming her mind throughout most of the trip, until she felt a burning sensation under her eyes.<br/><br/>Touching her fingers to her face, she was surprised feel wetness on her cheeks. Was she... crying? No, tears weren't red. Blood? 'Dammit!' Quickly wiping her face before anyone saw, Aya clenched her teeth in pain, suddenly fully aware of an unfortunate side effect of her ability. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid' she chastised herself. Without even realizing it, her powers had burned her tear tracks into her cheeks, making it impossible to hide the fact that she had been crying. Luckily, she was sitting right next to the door.

They'd won the day after all. Admittedly it hadn't worked out exactly the way they'd intended but once the Plasma was in the holding cell that was shielded against telepathy there wasn't going to be anything that the Shadow King would be able to do except maybe stew. That was a good question. Could the Shadow King even retreat to the astral or ethereal planes in such a cell? No matter, the Professor would have this entire thing sorted out within a couple days. If anything, they were better off then they were before. Storm had been exercising her powers for years while Plasma was still a rookie. Powers were like muscles, growing stronger with use.<br/><br/>When the others told her to shut up after explaining this to them, Sarah actually complied. Not that she didn't think she was right. They were just defeatist idiots.<br/><br/>Besides, it was also Becky. Plasma or Rebecca or Little Miss Fuchsia Hair was a goody two shoes, always doing what the professor said, always trying to be helpful and was god awfully honest.

He would gather up with the rest and wait for the Black Bird to come back.<br/><br/>Beast “Should I show you you’re new room young miss. Maybe then we can have you meet some of the others?”<br/><br/>Xavier nodded to the idea; Beast was capable of looking after her making him smile at Asha before moving on. As he passed by he said something to her through the use of his powers.<br/><br/>Professor X: “If you need anything come and see me, I am here for all of you.”<br/><br/>Soon the professor was out of sight.<hr/>Back on the Black Bird the jet tore through the sky like the beauty she was. The Black Bird was the pride and joy of the X-Men and for good reason. Wolverine was still angry as he gritted his teeth though he was not as angry anymore. X-23 was right and she had certainly become a better mutant in the time he knew her. At the speed they were going they would be home in a matter of hours. The jet was mostly quiet; all that could be heard was the breathing being made by him and the others on board. Logan had a soft spot for some of the X-Men such as Rogue and Plasma was also a member he had a soft spot for.<br/><br/>Plasma was in a state of uneasiness as she laid out cold, her mind still active as the Shadow King went deeper into her mind to make it harder for her to resist him and make it harder for the professor to remove him. The Shadow King had to learn about her quickly as the body was not usable in the state it was in because of what Bamf did to her.<br/><br/>((Time Passes By))<br/><br/>A few hours later and the rookies were home, the Black bird docks where it always does. The jet is turned off and the rump drops so the members could leave. The docking bay was not empty as Cyclops and his team were there. Cyclops was being rather friendly with Emma though he was in a relationship with Madelyne Pryor. The students would most likely disburse before Wolverine even left his sit.<br/><br/>Logan: “OK blue boy”<br/><br/>He said jokingly.<br/><br/>Logan: “I will take Plasma to the holding area, you can take Storm to the med bay so she can recover then you are off the clock kid.”<br/><br/>Wolverine had calmed down completely now though still felt bad about Plasma and the others. He soon went to where Plasma was and picked her before leaving the Black Bird where he saw Blue Team waiting to use the jet for a mission. Logan’s and Scott’s relationship was a little rocky at the moment and so all they did was give a look to each other. Cyclops saw Plasma in Wolverines arms as he passed by, Logan gave Scott no time to ask what happened."

Her gloved hands anxiously intertwined fingers over and over, her eyes on the ground. Asha's image of herself was incredibly distorted, but she had been secluded from the world and only really had her father's reactions to her to understand what was happening to her. No one had explained anything to her and the only person she had major interaction with had demonized her. After a while she just accepted his logic of what she was. An abomination. She was almost brainwashed into thinking so.<br/><br/>She looked up at the Beast spoke, her glowing golden eyes a bit surprised they were not going to make her leave. But she smiled under all her coverings, her golden eyes shining like stars, showing all the happiness it brought to hear something so kind and accepting. With the palm of her hand she pressed her over joyed eyes, threatening tears, a small musical and enchantingly wonderful laugh escaping her. It was the first time since her mutation had showed itself that she had laughed.<br/><br/>""Thank you,"" her voice was almost a whisper, but held so much emotion, it reverberated in the hall. The the man with the odd sunglasses stepped forward. Asha looked up at him.<br/><br/><i> “Learn, live, train, become an X-Man and maybe one day you will be on my team. Be strong and you will make it.”</i><br/><br/>The two other males seemed to be just as surprised as she was. But Asha nodded her head, her eyes glowing bright, showing that she smiled beneath her black cloth. ""I will,"" her voice was warmer, strong and clear, ""I will get stronger, so no one ever has to feel like this again."" The man left, striding out with purpose. Even though she felt he was possible of many scary things, Asha admired him and his surety and strength. Maybe she could be as confident as that someday. It was what her mother would want. Looking up at the Beast she nodded her head again, eyes smiling.<br/><br/>""Yes, thank you sir,"" she looked to Xavier and bowed her head in great thanks, ""And thank you so much for accepting me here. I will do my best, I promise."" As he passed, his voice rang clear in her mind, making her eyes go wide in surprise. She'd need to use to that. It still awed her, his voice so clear inside her mind. She bowed her head in gratitude, sending a mental message of thanks. A part of her wonder if the others would be this welcoming.<br/><br/>_________________<br/><br/>The Beast had done as he had mentioned, showing her to her room. Apparently the rooms were set up like a boarding school, almost, where most other young mutants had roommates. But with her mutation she did not think it wise from someone to try to sleep in the same room with her. They might get sick from lack of sleep, because even in sleep she glowed like a million of stars in the sky. Granted it was softer than when she was awake, but it was still rather bright.<br/><br/>Her suitcases unpacked and what few things she had set the way she liked, she brushed out the front of her pitch black outfit. It had been a few hours since her arrival, but this feeling of welcome, this feeling of<i>freedom</i>, it was all liberating. Her room even had a window that could look up at the night sky.<br/><br/>""Thank you, Professor Hank,"" she said gently, ""I hope the other mutants will be as kind as you, Professor Xaiver and Cyclops are. I can be a bit... guarded, I guess."" She looked out the window. ""M-Maybe now... I can see the others? I am a bit... curious. I've never really seen anyone my age with mutations before."" Asha shifted nervously from one foot to the other, the area around her eyes, swirling and shining brightly, revealing a glimpse of her nerves.<br/><br/>She went back downstairs, letting the Professor lead the way. When they reached a certain area of the school they stopped. Apparently the others would be coming upstairs or just walking through the hallway soon. Asha wondered where they had all been. And why were they downstairs? She felt like she had so many questions, but maybe they'd be answered if she just watched and remained patient."

As he got up to stretch, he went into a handstand to put his feet to the ceiling to grab on, when he assumes he is the one being addressed, he bends over backwards to look logan in his eyes as best as he can.<br/><br/><b>“OK blue boy, I will take Plasma to the holding area, you can take Storm to the med bay so she can recover then you are off the clock kid.”</b><br/><br/>""Jawohl, Vielfraß""<br/>Carefully he took up the weather witch and cradled her in his arms. The cloth creaked as he adjusted to her weight to carry her to safety and try to calculate their total weight, he would need to talk to forge about a system to gauge his mass followed by a rangefinder to wear on an eye so he could target telelportation locations easier. That was one of the reasons he didn't use his power fighting her, if the debris field didn't block every shot he would have taken at her, all of the matter in the air was way too dangerous to teleport anyone anywhere without risk of popping into the middle of a rock or tree branch the bamf wasn't strong enough to displace the particulate matter. He lacked his fathers innate spatial relation needed to teleport into tight quarters like air-vents and such so he would often use it more as a weapon as he long ago abandoned the moral quandary of amputating someone by popping them near a building with a limb stuck in the wall. Xavier was rather unpleased with that admission of his as such methods were an abuse of their powers.<br/><br/>But that was neither here or there as he came down off the ramp and called out to everyone else scattering. ""I'm making sushi in a minute guys, anyone want some meet me in the kitchen."" If anyone tagged along, he would have someone to talk too, but otherwise he was trained enough to settle storm into the medical station, no straps because of her claustrophobia but motion sensors set to detect if she left the bed. Yes, he had to undress her to put the leads on but there was nothing lacivious in his actions, she was another 'pretty' mutant who could walk down the street, he left her in underclothes and tossed the uniform in the spectrometer to look for any traces or clues as was standard procedure.<br/><br/>Once storm was settled in, Magnus unzipped his uniform as well to get some fresh air against his azure skin and unzipped his tail which he kept tucked in a protective tube around his waist like a belt, he actually got the idea from that anime about the dragon orbs in space. He tossed his clothes and equipment into the spectrometer as well just for good measure as he had contact with two shadowking victims. and started looking for new clothes to cook in or else he'd have to wander the school in boxers, not that he minded."

'Urgh! I hate when this happens. Christ, the last time, I had been crying so hard it took a fuckin' year for them to heal. Luckily these are small. It should only take a few... hours...' Aya's thoughts came to a grinding halt, as did her footsteps, right at the bottom of the ramp. There was Cyclops' team, waiting to use the jet. And as per usual, there stood the Jean Grey wannabe and the Hellfire Diamond. Dropping her hand, Aya glared daggers at Frost. No matter what anyone said, old habits don't die hard. They stay. Aya knew that better than anyone. Catching Frost and Pryor's eyes, Aya decided to split. Walking over to the wall, she put her fingers to an outlet and concentrated. Soon enough, her body was consumed with electricity and she was gone, into the wiring of the mansion. Unfortunately, while she wasn't a rookie at this technique, she wasn't very familiar with the wiring of the mansion, and she... kinda got lost. Add on top of that, she was tired and not thinking clearly... and you get this little gem...<br/><br/>""FUCK!!!"" Aya cried, as her body re-materialized out of the ceiling light in the hallway, dropping her right on her back ""Owowowowowowowowowow... my ass... Huh?"" Only now did Aya realize she had an audience. It was Professor Hank McCoy. The Fluffy Gorilla-Cat. Or as he preferred, The Beast (Sounds like a ride at an amusement park, right?). But there was also a person dressed in all black rags. She looked like ninja wannabe 'Oh, great. Another ninja'. Standing up, she cracked her back and dusted off her uniform, before noticing the boy... girl... it was still looking at her ""What? Never seen a girl fall out of a ceiling light before?""..."

The old skin showing was around her eyes, and it was glowing softly, thin tendrils of changing light passing around her eyes only to disappear under the black cloth and their place taken by another swirling tendril. Her golden eyes gleamed and pulsed almost unnoticeably due to her nervousness. She looked up at Professor Hank, her gloved fingers twining and dancing with one another. This must be one of the others... She should introduce herself.<br/><br/>""Erm, it is a pleasure to meet you,"" she bowed her head, hands folded in front of her, ""M-My name is Asha..."" She glanced up, hesitating then finally standing up straight. ""Are... are you alright, though? You... you don't normally scream wh-when... you do that, do you?"" She looked up at the ceiling, as if expecting to see some sort of hole or something. She nervously glanced at Professor Hank once more, as if waiting for him to tell her she had said something wrong or insensitive.<br/><br/>But it was curious. This girl looked pretty normal. Well, except... ""Oh, are you alright?"" her voice was quiet, warm and concerned, ""Your cheeks...They're burnt..."" One of her black gloved hands moved forwards slight, as if trying to reach out to help."

She couldn't help but chuckle. As the girl introduced herself as Asha, Aya couldn't help but think about how much fun it could be to tease this girl. 'Hm-hmm. Look at her... sooo skittish... she could be really fun to mess with' Aya grin inwardly deviously, while outwardly maintaining an air of calm. At least until Asha mentioned her eyes.<br/><br/>Aya's eyes widened as she remembered the tracks on her face 'SHIT!!!' her mind screamed, her hand automatically coming up to cover them. Aya was about to leave, but then something struck her. 'This girl is new... it's okay... she doesn't know what this means' Aya told herself, turning her head ""I-It's nothing... j-just some... er...

Had she said something funny? Looking up at the ceiling, then back at the other girl, Asha got a bit confused. Had she missed something? Any how, the other girl seemed a bit taken aback when she mentioned her bunt cheeks. Asha's hand wavering in the air, it dropped and took its place, folded with its comrade. Was the other girl ashamed of her mutation, like Asha was? She turned her head away like she was.<br/><br/>""Um, well they look like they hurt,"" she said softly, ""I've never seen face tattoos before..."" But her eyes showed that she was smiling when the other mutant girl introduced herself. ""Nice to you, Ayame. I'm very happy to meet you."" The other girl mentioned rats and she looked up at the ceiling again. ""Oh...dear... I suppose that would be a bit startling. But rats aren't as all that bad as people make them out to be. They are actually quiet intelligent."" The light was still on, but Asha just assumed that there was an explainable reason for that. ""You must of scared them off with your scream... The light appears to be fine now.""<br/><br/>""Oh, fascinating... Manipulating of electricity,"" she looked back at Ayame and smiled, ""Very impressive. Must be quiet useful."" But she winced when the other girl mentioned her eyes. Nervously she dropped her gaze to the ground, a gloved hand touching the small appearance of skin by her eye. It had been so long since she talked to someone her own age, she had nearly forgotten.<br/><br/>""O-Oh, I-I'm very sorry, I d-didn't mean..."" she stammered, keeping her eyes on the floor, she winced again when the other girl brought up her outfit, ""I...tend to be...a bit distracting.

You would think they would have helped move Storm and Plasma to the medical bay or at least gone along with them out of concern for their well being. At least she wasn't a hypocrite. Sarah knew she was selfish and probably a fair bit cowardly. More importantly, she was smarter then the others. Sarah saw this as an opportunity to suck up to the great powers without doing any work at all. All she had to do was pretend she was going to help, make the offer and someone else would do the work of lifting the fallen comrades. After all, she got into trouble often enough that a good word from Storm, Wolverine and Cyclops could come in handy.<br/><br/>First stop, Sarah thought to herself, my room and to put on some clothes. After that she was going to head towards the kitchen and grab some food before she headed towards the Danger Rooms for some relaxation. That was the plan in any event. Sometimes things didn't quite go as planned.<br/><br/>At least she got to her room without difficulty and donned a simple black tube dress and some strapless high heels that she could remove in a hurry should she need to get into costume. Later she'd come back for the costume she'd printed in the Shi'ar fabricators for her adventure in the danger room. First she was going to see if there was any leftover pizza or something. Considering there were well over twenty X-Men, not counting the students here, the kitchen was rather large and there must be some sort of leftovers."

With storm sorted, it was time for some food as he pressed the button with his spaded tail.<br/><br/>The elevator seemed to take forever, he must have counted to ten a dozen times before the doors opened.

The mutant was ready to start playing and when he did the mutants present watched them. The mixture of chords heard sounded upbeat as the song started.<br/><br/>Mutant: “Old man Wolverine”<br/><br/>The words were said in a deep voice, the mutant themselves did not talk in this way though as he kept playing.

She pushed her fingers through her hair, a gesture of exasperation she'd learned from watching too many movies about romance with Jubilation. The mission had gone alright, at least alright as could be expected from their unbalanced makeup. She'd have to talk to the Professor about finding another psychic. It's not that the current team wasn't balanced well, but they simply had no defense against the likes of the Shadow King. All they could do was manage, one teammate incapacitated with one of the most powerful psychics in the world trapped inside her body? That wasn't exactly a clear-cut victory.<br/><br/>She moved from the hangar to the locker room quietly, stripping and suiting up without so much as a glance. Sometimes she forgot other people cared about that sort of thing, another mental note to check off for next time. The notes helped, she decided, as she finished putting on her jeans, belt, white shirt and boots. She pulled one of Logan's old beat-up bomber jackets over her shoulders. It drowned her a bit, but she didn't mind - it was comforting.<br/><br/>The hallways were mostly clear by the time she reached the elevator, but less so as they opened up to reveal what looked to be a new student talking with Aya. The smell of fear permeated the hallway like too much cheap cologne, she took a cautious step towards the pair realizing that, well, she could be rather intimidating. Something else was off, though...<br/><br/>""Is everything alright?"" She questioned coolly as she could manage with the sound of their rapidly beating hearts in her ears, her hands stuffed in the fur-lined pockets were clenched. Even after everything, her natural reaction the second she entered a room was to pick the most efficient way to kill everyone and escape. Of course, she'd gotten much better at ignoring it, but picturing the severed arteries of the children you're protecting does little to calm one's nerves.<hr/>Melodic, heavily distorted and trudging music played in the green house like an evening drive on opiates. The lyrics were something vague about unrequited love, but the imagery and the way the songstress cooed the words out over the instrumentation was like a white dove flying over a battlefield where both sides lost. The plants loved that sort of music and, well, Bloom tended to agree.<br/><br/>Appolina sang along at parts, in between stopping to converse with some clematis and making sure her daisies had enough to drink. The flowers were much easier to care for than the vegetables, but veggies tended to have a sardonic bite to them that she adored. Of course, who wouldn't be a bit facetious if their sole purpose in life was to die painfully? Well, truly, they couldn't feel the pain, but she had to imagine it. They were all dear to her, after all.<br/><br/>She wiggled her bare toes against the dirty concrete with an airy laugh, singing out the chorus at a low whisper punctuated with a giggle. It was hard to leave this place, but she knew she must. There was only so much she could do for her friends every day, but the peaceful air about the green house, the smell and the warmth of life. It was a retreat in and of itself, her own shangri-la.<br/><br/>After a begrudging foot scrub, she pulled on a pair of beat up cream-colored canvas sneakers and headed back into the mansion, through the kitchen. Whose occupants she recognized immediately. ""Hey guys, did it go okay?"" She asked with a lofty, almost sing-song tone; switching from speaking to plants to speaking to people was always a bit odd for her (and the people she spoke to, she imagined).<br/><br/>Bloom opened the fridge door, while lightly scratching an exposed tattoo of a ruby throated hummingbird on her athletic waistline - she was wearing a faded grey t-shirt tied up in a knot as per usual. It wasn't a promiscuous thing, though some people might take it that way. She felt more and more like her skin was akin to petals and the sunlight felt like energy, but that wasn't really a preferred explanation. Even around there. She still felt crazy sometimes, but she didn't really mind that if she was the only one that thought that way.<br/><br/>She grabbed a container of milk and moved to the sink after grabbing a small porcelain bowl and the kettle. ""Would you guys like some tea? If you don't want black, I'll just heat up the water."""

The world was swirling and she couldn't breathe! Stumbling into another person every so often, she'd recoil, trying to hide herself from their view.<br/><br/>Why were there so many eyes swirling around her? Where was she? Where could she go to be alone?! She needed to hide! She needed to be alone!<i>Don't ever let anyone see! Don't you dare let anyone see! Monster! Monster!</i>the preaching of her father swirled inside her head. Asha had done something horrible! She let them see! She needed to be alone! A window... Yes! A window! Shedding her black shoes, tearing off her gloves, she shot towards the window.<br/><br/>What was she doing? She didn't know. Her panic had over taken her. Nothing but panic. Her body was moving on its own. She needed control. Anything, anything at all! Before she even knew what she had done, she was jumping out the window. A flash of realization came over her, but before she could react like a sane being she was... flying... She could fly? Never mind! Have to find a place alone! At least for moment!<br/><br/>Rainbow light shooting out of her body in swirls and she was flying across the sky. It was like learning to breathe all over again. The world stopped swirling. She felt in control. For once, control was hers. Asha didn't go too far away from the school. She just dropped down low, finding a nice tree a bit away from the mansion, but she could still see the roofs of the mansion.<br/><br/>She felt suffocated all of a sudden, that was all. Asha didn't know what had come over her... Was that a panic attack or something? It felt awful... She pulled off her head covering, a mess of shimmering locks falling into her starry face. Her breathing was starting to slow. Her heart was no longer racing. Hugging her knees she buried her face in her arms.<br/><br/>""What's happening to me?"" she whispered to herself."

His avocado was slivered and folded inside out in display for him to dab into it as he started to pull out some wonderful red tuna to start slicing it up.

Pulling her tunic over her head and taking off the heavy black cloth, she dropped down to the ground, in her sleeveless undershirt and black pants. She was bear foot, but being able to float came in handy for things like that. Setting her dark clothes aside, she looked at the water, wondering if she could match its changing colors. Staring at her hands, she willed for herself to change color. Nothing. Just the same old rainbow dance of stars under her skin.<br/><br/>But when the night time stars started to peek out, Asha could feel a change in her. Her wide eyes turned up to the sky, she could<i>feel</i>it. Her feet lifted higher off the ground, her eyes enchanted by the stars, who were slowly revealing themselves. It rushed through her, pulsing through her veins and when she looked down she let out a surprised cry. There was a tendrils of rainbow energy trailing behind her like the tail of a shooting star. She willed herself forwards, till she was over the water. Looking down into the dark water she couldn't help but laugh a little bit. She spun around in the air, admiring the way the stardust-like shimmer and the brilliant swirling colors were following her and making designs behind her.<br/><br/>Letting out a laugh she shot up into the air, spinning her body as she went higher up. Then with a gleeful cry she dove down, pulling herself up only just before touching the lake's surface. The starry night sky was a perfect back drop in the dark depth of the lake for her own personal show. She was glimmering and shimmering and it just felt so good to not have to suppress it or try to hide it. Asha raised her hands, the multicolored and shimmering energy building up around her, spreading out, like a cloud of holographic galaxies. And then with a joyful cry she lowered her hands, directing them to the lake. All of the energy building up around her, it all streamed down in a waterfall of color, covering the surface of the lake under her, it not only seeping into the water, but bouncing up from it as well and swirling in a wonder of designs.<br/><br/>Had she always been able to do that?! She let out a laugh, the colors on her body sparkling and glowing bright in response to her elation. Asha shined bright like a multicolored star against the night sky and dark lake, as her energy dissipated from the water. Flinging her hands into the air, she watched as she shoot brilliant firework-like swirls of starlight, the 'explosion' of those beams spreading out into massive designs, like flowers blooming against the night sky. She was in awe of it. She had never known she could do this, any of it! It was incredible!"

Pollock was a white fish, named so for the meat of its flesh and was used to simulate, with the addition of artificial flavouring, various shellfish. All she knew was it tasted like crab and had a very different taste and consistency.<br/><br/>The plant girl arrived around the same time, traipsing about with her shirt hiked up to show off her tattoos.

With the street lamps lit and the stars shining the young man dropped from the branch and walked away from the tree, his movements billowing out his trench coat as he moved swiftly towards a small opening with in the small copes of trees.<br/><br/>he flexed a few times before his four wings slipped through the back of his worn and very tatty coat and started to move, before long they were beating fast enough to lift him up and above the trees and out of sight of the normal mutant hating humans. He shook his head to dislodge that thought as he concentrated on the latest dream he had had which had showed him that he would arrive at his destination by sun rise - and although he was not holding out much hope for this, what ever it was he was being drawn too - he figured it would be better then living rough like he had been doing.<br/><br/>He had been flying for a couple of hours when he had come to rest just next to the clock tower when he first saw the building that his dreams had been calling him too - it was huge, a mansion. His thoughts first settled on to breaking in for some food, although his eye sight was much improved over most others he couldn't make out if there were any open windows or obvious points of entrance but that was before he saw the flash of colours that shot up from behind the mansion. Wanting to investigate to see what was causing the impromptu light show to see if that would impede on his mission of food gathering. So once more taking off he flew over to the roof of the mansion and lightly landing to see what was going on, even though it was night time Jax had to reach into his pocket to don his shades as the bright lights were hurting his eyes, once his shades were on he was able to discern a person in among the lights but whoever he or she was did not seem to pose a threat to his detection, he noticed something else in the sky but his stomach had just reminded him that he was on a mission and with his wings beating he took off looking for an open window which he found and quickly darted in hoping no would be around, but as he remained in the air he looked around he saw two girls looking away from him, he hovered over to them and was about to move to knock them out...."

The big blue furry creature smiled for a moment before walking off to do something, most likely do research or read a good book. As he walked down the hallway Wolfbane had run by him, she was in her animal form with two mutants chasing her. He would of said stop it, but seeing the smiles on their face made him smile and so disregarded it.

Having virtually no information on the target made her uncomfortable and instead of attempting to subdue, which would have likely made the situation a thousand times worse. She stepped aside. Her gaze followed the glowing woman's trail right out the window. In hindsight, the panic attack seemed a bit inevitable. She blinked and paused, staring out the window. ""Was it something I said?"" she questioned, completely free of facetiousness.<br/><br/>She eyed the marks on Aya's face surreptitiously and decided not to say anything, she'd already scared off one student and didn't really feel like running off a second.<br/><br/>""I hope that she knew she could fly, but something tells me that is not the case,"" she mused rather plainly. The idea troubled her, but it didn't show. Every bit of data she had gathered on the new student already lead her to some interesting conclusions about what was going on with her, but addressing them directly might not be the best policy. She'd have to consult her adoptive father, he'd know what to do. Besides...if there were any two that could keep a secret in the mansion, it was them.<br/><br/>With a twitch of her nose X caught a new scent. A predatory scent, but no foot steps. She pulled her hands from her pockets and extended one set of claws immediately. She twisted and spun from the window and ran at the wall instead. Leaping for the wall, she tucked in her legs and pushed off with all of her strength, effectively launching herself at the floating target. She reached for his throat with one hand claws following close behind with the other. The entire process a complete reaction, she barely had time to think until she was in the air, wondering who and what this mutant was capable of. She knew neither of these things, only that she must protect the mansion at any cost.<hr/>""Sleeping it off, huh? I hope they sleep alright,"" she tossed back without missing a beat; knowing exactly how the team operated had its advantages. It would do no good to express concern or worry, if they were home then they had the best care imaginable. And, as she knew, she was on a strictly need-to-know basis. If it was really bad, she'd know.<br/><br/>Bloom listened Sarah's quip with a barely suppressed snicker before deciding to put the milk back, green tea tasted better plain to her anyway.

It didn't sound like anything he'd ever heard before. On top of that, he didn't recognize the smell either, so he quickly darted up into a nearby tree, concealing himself in the shrubbery and focusing on disguising his breathing and keeping his heart rate calm.

Her voice was muffled, but his ears distinctly picked up her pleas to just forget everything. His ears drooped as he heard that. It sounded like the poor girl was ashamed of herself. He wondered if she couldn't turn her powers off. Hell, he could understand that. It's not like he could STOP being a tiger, but he loved himself like he was. But Leon didn't want to leave their first encounter like this, so he decided to follow her... and a small, tiny part of his brain was worried she ran because his appearance frightened her.<br/><br/>Leon ran on all fours to the door, hoping to catch her before she got too far. He reached the door in no time, and ripped it open... and nearly collided with the girl who had apparently been stock still, maneuvering in such a manner, that he nearly hit the floor, had he not caught the counter.

Also what do you mean by my power is not always my own?”</i><br/><br/>He paused, which allowed John to answer.<br/><br/>""I dont always feel like I control my power, I have heard rumours that some mutants powers overcome them - I am just worried that will be my fate as well.""<br/><br/>The words hit the professor and resonated with him as he had known some mutants that had happened too, he would address that in a moment.<br/><br/><i>“You should not worry John, change it to be expected, powers evolve and appearances may change but one thing remains the same, you are still you.”</i><br/><br/>This did help calm the Terra-kenetic for a moment.<br/><br/>Xavier took breath and paused, thinking of how best to go about things, before speaking once more:<br/><br/><i>""I can take a look for you but there is no way to tell what changes will happen or when they will happen. You just need to relax though I understand your feelings as this is something many mutants your age worry about.”</i><br/><br/>John looked down at his feet at this, he wasnt sure what the professor meant by taking a look, how could his mind reading powers work in this situation? But John wanted answers and looked at the Professor again. ""Please do what you have to Professor.""<br/><br/>the wheelchair bound mutant nodded before speaking once more:<br/><i>“All I can do is help you control these powers, in turn this may help you when the time comes to those changes. John in what way do you want me to help you, do you want me to search your mind or do you want to understand your powers better? The more you know the easy it will be.”</i><br/><br/>John was actually smiling at the prospect :""Please Professor Sir, I would do anything to be in control and more confident in my own powers.""<br/><br/>Xavier couldn't help but smile as his words had the wanted effect but motioned John over to a device which emerged from one of the bookshelves, it looked like some sort of body scanning devices, but what it scanned for the younger mutant didnt know.<br/><br/><i>""Yes, this is a body scanner, it is not 100% accurate by any stretch John, but it will give a 'most likely' outcome of how your Xgene will do, and with your current state I think we should be confident in what will happen.""</i><br/><br/>John moved over to stand inside the scanner while Xavier moved over to a computer that had flipped out of the desk and started pressing buttons and warming up the scanner: A few moments passed as bright lights were emitted from the scanner as it took measurements from John before it beeped and shut down, which John took as a que to step from the machine and walk back over to the the desk where the scan results were already showing.<br/><br/>[i]""From what the scans are showing and your medical examination results when you first got here John, I can almost say for certain that your powers have yet more to develop, and from the course of your physical mutation, it looks like your entire skeletal structure will become stone - and everything else will become earth - but you will still be sentient and your abilities would still be yours."" He clicked a button and the screen flickered and died. ""As for controlling your powers, I will have a think about what sort of training would best suit you John; but I will get back to you.""<br/><br/>John made to move towards the door, turning as he opened the door: ""Thank you Professor Sir."" With that John walked through the door and closed it after himself.<hr/>Jax watched as one of the girls had become aware of his presence and had reacted out of instinct running at the wall and jumping off the wall and launched herself at him, a set of claws extending from one of her hands with the other reaching for him. Although she seemed to be quick, her reflexes and instincts strong Jax still had time to move his hands to protect himself, a strong grip on each wrist allowing him to keep her hands, and more importantly those claws away from him. In the same movement he spun around a couple of times before throwing her down the hallway.<br/><br/>His instincts were locked onto one thing: Food and to get that he first had to survive this encounter and so his mind had already dismissed the second girl as the one he had just thrown appearing to be the more hostile one, still hovering in the air his fists came up in a traditional boxer stance, covering his nose, ready for round two... all four wings moving too quickly to discern any movement but keeping him a lift."

She'd even fallen into a ocean at one point and marvelled that, while floating, she wasn't in the slightest bit wet. It was an odd sensation, bobbing up and down in waves that you could clearly see, even diving underneath and coming up with hair still dry and perfectly immaculate. A spa day would be quite ineffective.<br/><br/>Sarah chuckled at the story.<br/><br/>""Christians,"" she said, shaking her blond head, ""So caught up in their myths they can't see anything for what it truly is.""<br/><br/>Turning back towards the kettle she found herself cut off by Bloom who seemed greatly interested in being useful. So be it. Sarah was perfectly happy being served rather than serving so she relented, making a gesture with both hands, palms presented forwards to indicate her acquiescence,"

""Ground him!"" she called out to Aya, though she likely didn't need to. Discharge was a trained killer, just like her. She didn't have to read the girl's file, she could see it on her, smell it on her. Though, she hoped she had enough sense to simply stun the hovering strongman.<br/><br/>X slid into a three-point stance before retracting one set of hand-claws, freeing her from the floor, and extending the other. With a renewed vigor she charged again, ensuring that he wouldn't be able to concentrate on both targets at the same time. The distance closed in a few seconds and with her forward momentum she rolled onto her hands, extending one of her talons as she slashed at him with her foot in a forward somersault.<br/><br/>The instant that slash finished she would springboard off the ground into another dive, her hand-claws seeking the bite of metal-on-flesh. Of course she wouldn't go for a killing blow, but he wouldn't be able to maneuver as freely as she could in the hallway, not with a wingspan. The best she could hope to do was keep him busy for the moment though.<hr/>Bloom laughed as the joke finished, though she hadn't really heard a word. She knew it to be a joke, but whisperings had caught her concentration. A smile flashed as Darkshadow undoubtedly made another biting remark about something or other, the woman's crass attitude just made Bloom want to know her better. Everyone had their reasons and their secrets.<br/><br/>Not that she was interested in gossip, though...the plant life seemed to buzzing lightly. Leon entered as she filled the kettle up from a flash-heated water faucet, ""'Ello, Fluffy. It most certainly is sushi...though, there seems to be a bit of a ruckus upstairs."" She placed the tea bags in the kettle calmly, checking the time on the oven's clock before placing it lovingly on the heating pad. ""It might be best if we went to break it up. The flowers are overly excited, you see.""<br/><br/>Fortunately enough for her, she had X-men to relay the news to. She could only imagine what kind of trouble would get the flowers buzzing in such a way."

First in the door was a woman in a Burka? Clearly a new visitor to the grounds. Now what was the response dust taught him?<br/><br/>""Assalamu alaykum, have you eaten? I assure you the food is lawful.""<br/><br/>It would be hard to say if he avoided looking into her eyes or was staring right down into her soul, but he made sure he did not offer a hand in greeting. Right behind her came the residential furry bowling in after her like someone falling through a curtain on stage. Between her horrified look and the speed that he came through the door after her, there was a conclusion already in his mind.<br/><br/>""What the hell, Leon? You get a cat-spaz moment and mistake her clothes for drapes? Bad kitty, no sushi until you apologize.""<br/><br/>He looked over to the others for clues or a lead when bloom mentioned an x-man going to check out the noise above.<br/><br/>""I'll go, keep the cat out of the fish. Welcome to the madhouse, miss.""<br/><br/>He walked a few steps to the side to stand under a tiny marker he made in the ceiling and crouched low before springing into a back-flip. With a *BAMF* he was gone in a waft of brimstone to fill the space. One of his private trainings in the danger room was practicing teleporting through the mansion as a hard light construct so he could gain an intimate knowledge of where every inch of the school sat, committing it to muscle memory for fast movement through the school without as much risk to himself and others. As it was he went from the kitchen floor to the upper hall ceiling, grasped onto a hanging light to take in just what the hell he was walking into.<hr/>Elsewhere on the grounds was a horses stable home to quite a few fine breeds, half of the twelve stalls were full with six fine examples of their namesakes. The other six stalls were currently being mucked by a fine breed of Irish and Cherokee bloodlines. The typical cowboy with the horses, cliché if it weren't so apt who droned on as he kept himself busy.<br/><br/>""Give me land, lots of land. with a starry sky above. Doon't fence me inn...""<br/><br/>He was told to spend this time trying to use his powers in a real world application without stress like the danger room so he tried to pull the horsehockey into the bucket instead of the shovel. Well the shit hit the fan when he struggled and it suddenly flew up at him like a rattlesnake. He decided to do the rest the old fashioned way, it did well to keep him warm anyways, it was almost freezing this far up north to him who was used to hot summer nights so he was rearing his wool lined denim jacket that had seen plenty worse than that in all its years. He heard some sort of commotion going on way out there across the open flat land as the great black plane came in for a landing, but there were plenty else to handle it as he took a break for a snack.<br/><br/>He got a mess of apples with him earlier today from the kitchen so he took up three in each of his huge hands to treat the horses as well. He took the first bite to establish himself as alpha before offering the rest to the horse. He did this six times to get the pecking order set between him and them before six good mouths of apple set his stomach right.<br/>He finished up the mucking and hosed out the stall before setting down new hay and food for them all so he could walk them one by one across the hall to settle them down for the night. Horses settles and stable cleaned. now it was time for him to find his way back o the mansion to get some shut eye."

Sarah didn't know what to make of the sudden arrival of so many students. The bloody bastards always seemed to be following the rookie teams, eager to make their acquaintance in the hopes something of the rookies would rub off on them and help them become X-men themselves. In essence, she and the rest of her team were the ultimate clique. The white Bengal striped tiger person was followed by a young woman, a girl that glowed softly. You could see it around the edges of her eyes, where a small amount of flesh was exposed above the veil. You could see it, even in the light of the kitchen.<br/><br/>""Hey Catman,"" Sarah greeted him, ""How's the rest of the Justice Guild?""<br/><br/>Then the crazy plant girl started talking about flowers gossiping like so many old ladies before Magnus just up and disappeared.

Mesmerized for a minute by Talon's graceful movements, she quickly snapped out of it and looked for an opening to zap this bastard. Of course, only when she had the chance, did Discharge realize her reserves were low. She dashed over to a nearby light and began absorbing what she could.<br/><br/>""<i>Ground him</i>"" She heard Talon call out, just in time, too. Discharge had enough for what she had planned. She ran full on at the fly-boy as Talon got ready to dive at him. Just before making contact, she slid under him and released an large burst of electricity, hoping it would stun him long enough for Talon to take him out, or at the very least knock out his wings while she went to another light for a quick charge (god, I hate being so low on energy), when she heard a *BAMF* from the ceiling.

This time referencing some obscure fictional hero belonging to a company no one in this mansion really cared about. ""Haha, DC Comics""<br/><br/>He was about ready to fire back when Lina spoke up, commenting on a ruckus upstairs. Now that he was paying attention... ""Yeah... I can hear it. Hey, Mag-"" he began, but the teleporter was already gone ""Well, that's that. Whatever it is, I'm sure he's got it covered. Now... where is that fi... oh, yeah"" He just remembered why he came in here to begin with. Turning to the new girl, he decided to respect her wishes and not mention the fireworks ""Nice to officially meet you, I'm Yeong Lee, but everyone calls me Leon or some cat-pun"" he said, extending his hand in friendship with a big grin on his face..."

Most of the X-students enjoyed comic books. Maybe he was just sick of her humour. Most read DC, Image or Darkhorse. Nobody in the school read Marvel anymore, particularly since the X-Men series was cancelled due to the protestors outside the company's doors.. The Marvel company had begun drawing the stories of real life heroes like the Avengers but the general public simply didn't like how Marvel portrayed the X-Men and mutants in general as either misunderstood heroes or victims. They wanted their mutants to be villains, like they were in real life. Hah! Real life, how little they knew.<br/><br/>She was about to comment on the conversation when a tall, lanky young man stepped into the kitchen carrying a black coffee cup with the X-Men logo on it a quarter way full of water. . He'd come in from the porch it seemed, and his pale face beneath his auburn hair was dripping wet as was his shirt, a shirt depicting the autobot symbol. She'd heard about them too, supposedly a race of robots that hid amongst the people of Earth by disguising themselves as cars. Hah! That was bloody unlikely. Alien robots from another world? The conspiracy was that the New World Order created the television show to cover up any sightings of the robots.<br/><br/>""Excuse me,"" the six foot youth said as he pressed his way through the assembled throng, ""Pardon me.""<br/><br/>Then he came face to face with Sarah and just stopped dead in his tracks. Sarah loved that effect she had on boys, how they just stopped and stared even when they knew to expect her. Sebastian, for that was this youth's name, often stammered when he tried to speak to her as well. It was so cute. She highly suspected that, despite his attractive appearance, that he was still a virgin. He was training to be an X-Man far too hard to be anything else. The boy ran a marathon each day, lifted weights, trained constantly and never stopped studying. The boy was going to burn himself out at this rate. She would have so much fun curing him of that particular affliction and he'd be better from it to boot.<br/><br/>""Uh... Hi Dar...Sarah,"" he said meekly, and Sarah wondered what he was thinking, ""Just need to... uh.... refill my cup.""<br/><br/>Sarah couldn't resist playing with the poor idiot.<br/><br/>""Are you sure?"" she asked, ""There's orange juice and other stuff in there. You should check out those<i>*jugs*</i>.""<br/><br/>With the last she put her slender arms beneath her bosom and gave it additional support as she leaned over the counter<br/><br/>""I uh... It's not for drinking..."" he said, trying to find the words, his hazel eyes trying to look in every direction but at Sarah, ""it's for practice. I... uh... I gotta go. Babyface needs his diaper changed and you know how cranky he gets.""<br/><br/>Sarah chuckled mirthfully as the boy flushed crimson and turned about. She delighted in tormenting him. He really was too sensitive for his own good. How did one hit eighteen years of age, or however old he was, and still be so shy and naïve? He quickly skirted back in the direction he came from, eager to get away from Sarah as fast as he could.<br/><br/>-<br/>-<br/>-<br/>[OOC: Yes, there is a Marvel Comics company in the Marvel universe. They're a middling struggling company that bases their stories on the real heroes of Earth 616 and they apparently get it wrong more often then they get it right. There was an X-Men comic as well but it was cancelled for the reasons I mentioned above ]"

She fell with him, bringing her combat boot down right over where his solar plexus should be, in an attempt to wind him. There was no real way to know what sort of effect this would have, his anatomy (and identity for that matter) were a complete mystery. For all she knew it might be akin to stomping on the sidewalk. If that was the case, she was in a particularly tough position, considering this mutant of considerable strength had his grip on her.<br/><br/>It was something of a rush to fight an opponent one had no data on. The rush was someone mitigated by the fact that she had one, no...two allies. Bamf had appeared, it was only a matter of time before more showed up. She wondered to herself why the defenses hadn't picked him up. Perhaps it was an inside job? The speculating could wait. She wondered for a moment if she was going to have to re-attach her leg if this interloper should decide to tear it from the socket.<br/><br/>""YIELD!"" She barked with anger-fed gravitas almost directly at his face. The three of them would have no problem taking him down, but she had no real desire to injure the rogue.<hr/>Bloom watched the big man enter and leave, a bright smile spread across her lips for no discernable reason. Her head moved from him to Sarah as they spoke, she giggled lightly and set the kettle on the table. She moved back around to the counter, standing between the cat and the sushi.<br/><br/>Apple's tattooed hand gave the quiet, covered up one a soft wave for a greeting, before turning back to Sarah as the big auburn-headed boy left.

Just as soon as it came, it shot off again back into the manor just as the jet that came back home took off again."

What did that mean again? It was a kind of greeting... ah, yes, Arabic! Maybe... Wait, did she look arabic? She glanced down at herself and sort of spun like a dog trying to catch its tail. Oh... He had thought she was arabic because of her clothes... She turned three shade of sparkling pink, not that the others were notice much. She glanced up, her eyes locking with the rather seductive female in the room. Well, maybe everyone but her... She had sharp eyes.<br/><br/>Another male sort of trudged through the group of them in the kitchen. He was very...tall. Very tall. He stumbled over his words so much he almost sounded impaired... He wasn't a drinker was he? She hoped not. It was such a harmful thing to the body... Another glance made her assess the female decorated in tattoos. Her grin made her seem easy going. At most this person would probably be better to get along with. People with airy personalities usual were like that, hiding dangerous tempers. She did remind her of flowers though...<br/><br/>*BAMF* She jumped looked to see where the noise had come from. Oh... The mutant she had been staring at was gone. Oh... It was probably her fault. She'd probably made him uncomfortable. Maybe she'd apologize sometime... Well, if he'd even stick around to hear the apology. It was sort of disheartening... He was like a mirror image to her, imprinted with darkened skin and eyes, like she was with unending starlight. And it didn't seem that he liked her much.<br/><br/>Asha shrunk back towards the door. She felt a bit sheepish, as if she were somehow the cause of them leaving. It probably wasn't the case, but she hadn't seem to be making too many friends lately. The giant cat tried to speak to her again. Yeong Lee... Her eyes changed a in a myriad of colors as she looked at the hand...paw...hand, he had extended. She was not used to people actually wanting to touch her. In fact, all who had seen her after she had mutated wanted the exact opposite, recoiling from her in fear and disgust. Asha hesitated, but slowly lifted up her hand and took his. Those star soaked eyes looked up at the others and she withdrew her hand after a gentle shake.<br/><br/>""Erm...Asha...is my name,"" she murmured softly, ""I hope I do not disrupt again... I hope to be friends with you all... Yeong Lee... perhaps tomorrow... Er, I am tired.... I will go to sleep now."" Her sentences were short and almost breathless. It was a lot to take in. They were a hive of activity, buzzing here and there, talking, laughing, joking. It was not something she was very used to. Yes, she had once gone to school and had friends and been a busy body. But after being in something a kin to isolation, with only hatred flung her way... It seemed she was more damaged from her family's so called protection than from the mutation itself.<br/><br/>So much noise. It was dizzying. And it was hot. So stifling and suppressing... Being around all this, it made it harder to say wrapped in light blocking cloth. Especially when it was so thick. Unconsciously, she took off a glove and brushed a glowing hand over her eyes. The lights flickered before sending off a shot of arching starlight up at the ceiling. Asha jumped and stumbled back. No... dammit... she was trying to make friends, not freak people out. She shoved the glove back on, but didn't dare look up at the other mutant. Seemed that once she discovered a new branch to her 'gift' it would get harder and harder to suppress. The ceiling was cracked a bit and had a burn mark on it.<br/><br/>She mumbled an apology and went to the fridge and grabbed two water bottles. She then rummaged through the shelves until she found a large mixing bowl. Putting the bowl under her arm, she marched back to the door. Hesitating she turned briskly and gave them all a kind of curtsying bow, like she had been taught was polite for a mutant like her to do instead of troubling others.<br/>""I apologize,"" she said softly, before turning to walk out the door. Once she had the door behind her she flushed with embarrassment and marched away from the group, every step leading away from them getting more hurried and quickening.<br/><br/>She had burnt their ceiling. How had she done that?! It was starlight, not fire! Well, it hadn't caught on fire so... Maybe it was like getting a sunburn. The sun was a giant star, right? But then why did the night sky make her feel more energized than the sun? Maybe... it was the multitude of stars. The Sun was only one star, but the night sky had so many. And they always imprinted her skin too. It was difficult for her to try to figure out. Nothing made much sense to her anymore.<br/><br/>Why had she gone in there anyway. Making people uncomfortable and giving their ceiling a starlight-burn and being mistaken for arabic and... She sighed. This was not going very well... But then again it was partially her fault. Well, mostly her fault. She was so...scared of everything. Of herself. Or hurting others. Of being rejected by the other...like with the 'bamf' guy... Asha let out a sigh and trudged back down to the lake. She need to calm down. To relax. So she could actually<i>try</i>to get to know the others without running away.<br/><br/>But first she needed to meditate. Well, that's what she called it anyway. Finding a nice spot on the side of the lake, she put down the mixing bowl and emptied the two water bottles into it. Ugh, these clothes... They made everything harder. She shed gloves and head coverings. If she could just calm down...maybe she'd be able to stick around to actually have conversations with the others. Her glowing and gleaming face was a mask of self disappointment and disgust as she stared at her reflection. No. She had to stop that. The others didn't hate themselves. They didn't hate how different they were. If she wanted to be like them, she'd have to start acting like them. No more Asha the Mouse. What had mama said? 'My starry-eyed daughter...' There had been no disgust in those words. Just love.<br/><br/>""Starry-Eyed,"" she murmured, looking down at the still water in the bowl. Her reflection stared back at her. And this time she didn't see a glowing evil creature. Just a girl imprinted with a galaxy's worth of stars. And it was...sort of...beautiful... The naked human eye could never see all of the stars and colors in the night sky. But all of it was soaked into her every cell, bursting out of her, raging against the suppression she always had it under. Maybe suppressing it wasn't as good as she always thought it had been. Maybe it only made her worse. More unstable. She had shot a starlight stream of colors at the ceiling just trying the wipe off her brow...<br/><br/>And Starry-Eyed could make friends. She hadn't always been so meek and cowardly. If Asha couldn't, Starry-Eyed could. It was why she had been sent here anyway. Her hair floated up around her head in a rainbow-like halo of glittering stars. Staring down at the still water like it was a mirror, she looked past herself and at the sky reflected in the water. So she must be like this. Reflecting the stars, magnifying them, streaming them through her every cell... It...might not be so bad... She might not be so bad. Putting a hand to her cheek, the girl in that reflecting water smiled... And the halo of colors around her sparked and swirled."

Trusting her he had thrown her backwards with the aim she would move into a backwards somersault.<br/><br/>The blue guy then made his move - and vanished, it was a strange thing, this house seemed to be teeming with powered people - but why would one abandon the other two? This question was soon answered as the smoke and brimstone once more assaulted his senses and the blue tailed person was back, along with a slightly aged and bold wheelchair bound man. Jax didnt could tell he was powerful. and this was the end of his line.<br/><br/>Xavier: ""Greetings, I am Charles Xavier. Welcome to the Institute for higher learning.""<br/><br/>Before Jax could even think about doing anything to get the three others off him the wheelchair bound man spoke again:<br/><br/>""Talon, Bamf, Discharge - could you let Jax up; he is a guest, not an intruder."" his sight fell on Jax, who in the fight had lost his shades looked back at the man.

She backed up a couple steps, but stood up straight and retracted her claws when she noticed the professor. She almost snarled, upon learning that Xavier and the boy were somehow connected - there wasn't time enough in the day to deal with that sort of thing. Her thoughts reflected her agitation, but her demeanor remained placid. With the subtlest of eye-rolling she turned down the hallway and simply walked off - hands back in her pockets.<br/><br/>There wasn't a reason for her to be there, the mansion was obviously secure enough for the Prof to simply let random new students float in of their own free will. Potentially endangering other students and staff with their antics. She knew what she smelled, the boy was going to attack. What if it hadn't been her? He was strong, he could've seriously hurt some of the other students. With a pause in the hallway, she bent her head and pinched the bridge of her nose, before brushing her palm across her face and brushing her hair back in one trudging motion."

Bamf had vanished from the light. ""Excellent"" she grinned, as she began absorbing electricity. It didn't take much time for her to pull enough to activate her taser touch. Wasting no time, she was about to leap onto Bug-boy and drop his ass, when a tell-tale noise reached her ears. Blueberry had returned… with the Professor. 'Oh, snap. It's over now' she thought, dropping her charge. There was no point in fighting anymore.<br/><br/>But instead of seeing Buggy fall to his knees, Aya was surprised when the Prof. mentioned he was guest. ""Wait… What?"" she asked, as Laura began stomping away in a huff. Oh, great. She was pissed. The woman was scary enough calm. ""Hang on. If he's a guest, then… Oh, My God, of course"" she face palmed ""Heh… Heheheheh… no wonder the defenses didn't kick in! Hahahahahahahah!!!!!! Welcome the Mad House, Buggy! Two words of advice. That girl that just walked away? Don't piss her off. And relax. Enjoy yourself. Laters! Oh, I'm Aya, by the way!"" and with that she took off down the hall, laughing all the way at the sheer ridiculousness of the whole thing.<br/><br/>Aya didn't stop laughing until she got back to her room. She had been one of the lucky (or unlucky, however you look at it) few whose powers had been deemed too dangerous to share a roommate with, so she had the whole thing to herself. Well, now she did, once the Staff realized just how hazardous her nightmares could be to other's health. Undressing, Aya carefully took her sponge bath (Stupid, fucking water) and brushed her teeth, then took care of her hair (Crimmy's just gonna skip this part. Being a guy, he has no clue how women take care of themselves). Finished with her nighttime routine, she settled into bed, grabbed her stuffed bunny. Carrots. (tell anyone and I'll kill you with a spoon), and turned off her lights. The minute her head hit the pillow she was out, her exhaustion from the day finally catching up with her..."

That was Bloom for you. She spoke out- and spoke loud when she had something to say but otherwise said little. Things were getting boring here. Starry Eyed had run off. The cat person thing hadn't said a word and was standing like a bump on a log. Honestly, weren't cats supposed to be more playful?<br/><br/>""Gotta go,"" Sarah said to those remaining, ""I've studying to do.""<br/><br/>Right, studying, that was about as likely as a flying chicken. Then again, what was to stop a mutant chicken from actually flying? Mutant Chicken? Were there such things as mutant animals? Sarah couldn't reason why not. Whales predated man by at least tens of thousands of years. She'd have to ask Dr. McCoy or somebody that wouldn't laugh at her for asking such a stupid question.<br/><br/>Striding through the living room, past a half dozen young people watching television, surrounded by a half dozen reading textbooks, Sarah entered the front hall and mounted the staircase to get to her room, golden tresses streaming behind her as she took the stairs two at a time. That was one of the advantages of being an X-Man, even if she was a rookie; She got to have her room inside the main building instead of the student dormitories at the periphery. Mind you, it also meant she'd be in the frontlines in any attack against the mansion. That part sucked.<br/><br/>Once in her room she grabbed her duffel bag full of costumes before quickly turned on her heel and heading down towards the danger rooms. The costumes had been crafted in the facility below. The costume fabricator, a piece of alien technology, was capable of producing a surprising variety of different articles of clothing and could be custom programmed if one knew how. Of Shi'ar manufacture, the original fashions were a little- ostentatious.<br/><br/>She descended through one of the hidden elevators and under the recessed lighting of the facility's corridors until she opened the reinforced hatchway leading into the danger room. It opened into a medieval city, wooden structures, and cobblestone streets. Empty for the moment but when she told the program to begin the rabble and riff raff of the fantasy world would materialize first appearing as silhouettes composed of random bits. Then they would resolve themselves into their proper images like a television antenna picking up the signal."

Or had time stood still? This was the tipping point. Be the same old mouse, or be someone new. Someone new.... Someone strong and outgoing. Someone who shone brighter than all the stars in the night sky. The girl in the water smiled up at her. Someone new...<br/><br/>""Ah..."" She tipped the bowl with a slight twitch of her hand. The water spilled out and washed around her. Like it was trying to embrace her, envelope her. She could be that person, the one who smiled so beautifully up at her. Putting a hand on her face she shook just a bit. Could...a monster really turn into...something beautiful? If it tried its hardest? She could try... Trying wouldn't hurt anyone right?<br/><br/>Laying back on the sand she stared up at the sky. Her glowing skin was softly beating shades of so many colorful stars. A part of the night... Her gleaming hair in a halo around her head, her slender arms soaking in the sky. Her black tunic covered her like a normal girl's dress, but on its own it could not hold her light back.<br/><br/>The sand was cool and soft. The water lapping against the lake shore, the rustle of gentle wind through trees. The sound of crickets in the night. The moon shining bright. She had forgotten what it felt like to be outside and not be scared. It was so....beautiful. Her eyes closed, soft shimmering lashes against soft cheeks. It felt so good to be free."

If that was his one unsettling trait, it was that Xavier never lost his temper. Even in his home-realm, Xavier was deadcalm eye of the storm as the world raged and humans soldiers shot each other. It always reminded him of a poem he learned in this realm:<br/><br/>""Demons run when a good man goes to war<br/>Night will fall and drown the sun<br/>When a good man goes to war<br/><br/>Friendship dies and true love lies<br/>Night will fall and the dark will rise<br/>When a good man goes to war<br/><br/>Demons run, but count the cost<br/>The battle's won, but the child is lost<br/>When a good man goes to war""<br/><br/>His memory of humans killing each other snapped back when Xavier spoke.

Snatching a piece of sushi, you could practically<i>hear</i>his eyes sparkle in delight as he popped it in his mouth. Satisfied, he darted back out and into the hall, dodging and weaving throughout the students that were heading off to bed.<br/><br/>Soon enough he reached his room, glad his roommate was at home with the folks. He immediately stripped of his damn pants and threw them across the room. Drawing a bath, Leon cautiously poked at the water. Gently he eased in, desperately fighting the urge to struggle and bolt. Last time he failed to do that, he got the entire floored soaked. After what felt like DECADES, he was finally clean enough to get away from the demon-spawn called water. ""Bleh! I hate that stuff!"" he growled, shaking himself… mostly dry. He had to take a towel to get the rest. He brushed his teeth and combed his fur, then left the bathroom and started patting the fluffy rug. After finding his favorite spot, he curled up and drifted off, dreaming of belles, red dots, and Catgirls."

Perhaps, she thought to herself, a session in the Danger Room would calm her nerves. Aggravation gripped her as much as the adrenaline did, but the feral need to unwind and destroy led her room to grab her ""bug out bag"" before heading down and down into the belly of the manor once more.<br/><br/>From the nearly empty changing room she hung her father's jacket up once more, stopping for a moment to assess the damage to her civilian boots. Laura's shoulders dropped and she sighed before shaking her head and setting them aside to be dealt with later. In the spirit of tattered things she donned an older outfit, black and silver - her favorite. It was doubtful that anything would remove the faint smell of blood from it, but even so (and not in addition to) it was still her favorite look.<br/><br/>She noted a slight snugness that hadn't been present previously, but deigned to ignore it in favor of her rapidly waning sanity.<br/><br/>That sanity ceased entirely for a moment, as she entered the danger room. A flash of confusion and the lightest outpouring of rage came in the form of a low, animalistic growl. The room was, apparently, already occupied. The simulation wasn't one she recognized, but she adapted immediately.<br/><br/>An old city like nothing she'd ever seen sprawled out before her. Beautiful and terrible all in one digitized brush stroke. The dramatic juxtaposition between the clean, sterilized smell of metal and the look of utter poverty and degradation before her played hell with her mind as she tried to adjust.<br/><br/>Laura stood in the mouth of an alleyway staring out into a bustling street where children ran barefoot through real enough muck to make her feel unclean. Even their smiles were touched with black and brown, rot and decay lay in amply supply everywhere. Besides that, the hum of commotion gave her enough pause to close her eyes as she adjusted to the ambiance. It sounded as though there was a large body of water near as well. She focused on the brushing of the waves against the shore and slowly opened her eyes.<br/><br/>As she did she bore witness to a group of dirty, shirtless men maneuvering a rather large crate onto a wench before hefting it with a block-and-tackle into the back of a wagon. X took a moment to appreciate all the detail before taking a step back into the shadows and assessing the alleyway itself. She noticed for the first time that the room had digistructed a costume for her, black form-fitting leather with a white robe over it and...what appeared to be, was it? Yes it was. A hood.<br/><br/>Laura smiled for the first time today as she began to scale the wall, hood pulled perfectly over her jet-black locks."

Lightning scored the clouds, momentarily limning the grey with a shock of silver light. The buildings haphazardly leaned against one another, as if they were too weak to stand by themselves and as a result presented many a shadowed nook to take refuge within. Few windows possessed glass. Most of them were simply shuttered with wooden slats. The shingles beneath crouched fingertips mostly wood; only the more affluent were able to afford clay tiles.<br/><br/>As the young mutant peered across the nearby square she looked past several evening stragglers and was greeted by the sight of a shock of golden hair. It's colour brilliant against the dingy mud spattered town. A figure was in the middle of the square, a female silhouette hanging from a wooden scaffold. A rope was affixed to the overhead spar and it reached down, circling the figure's neck, holding her aloft, several feet from the cobblestone below. She was curiously attired. Pale slender limbs ensconced in fine sheer ebony harem style silk sleeves and leggings. Rope creaked as the woman swung softly, bare feet dangling, black painted toenails pointing towards the gutters. Laura could not see the woman's face, not with her head hanging down on her chest and the golden tresses serving as a funerary veil. Her leather mid-riff revealing bustier had failed to contain her bosom, one breast was openly displayed, having presumably been shaken free by the force of the short drop and sudden stop. More curiously, was what appeared to be a single piece of coin tucked in tight between the slope of breast and bustier."

She wondered, as she leapt to a roof nearer to the gallows, if perhaps she should feel something other than curiosity for a corpse. Laura stared down into the streets from the crest of a particularly shamble-fueled roof. In pulling herself up, she knew she'd be exposed for a moment, but she needed to see down into the streets for a path - there was no way she could let the poor girl hang there.<br/><br/>Lithely Laura moved across the roof, marking out an indirect, but hopefully concealed route to the gallows as she leapt from the roof with a sickening crunch. One of her ankles broke upon impact, but healed almost instantly.<br/><br/>Like a shadow in the dreary day she danced from the alleyway, moving under a cart, rolling behind some boxes - the contents of which looked like they should have smelled quite horribly. Laura gave a silent thanks that the immersion wasn't entirely complete, even if it was disorienting and somewhat blinding.<br/><br/>Laura took a quick glance around the square to make sure the coast was clear and hoisted herself up onto the gallows themselves, but...there was something familiar about this lifeless body. She pushed the familiarity away and made her move, unsheathing a single claw and moving to cut the rope before pausing on something glinting from the woman's half-exposed bust.<br/><br/>Something compelled her to grab the coin before cutting the woman free."

Her own legs were about all she could see with her death stare. It was quite relaxing really. One would think the weight would be completely upon her neck but she was floating, held aloft in the Danger Room's gravity fields. The sudden drop was rather startling and she was embarrassed to say that she had squealed in fright but the danger room had buoyed her entire body and protected her from any form of incidental harm. At first it had been interesting, listening to the conversations of those around her but now that the spectacle was over the crowd had mostly dispersed.<br/><br/>She wasn't sure what was supposed to happen next. Takashi hadn't really explained what she were supposed to do in this situation. If this were video game this was where you'd be prompted to revert to a saved game and continue. Was she supposed to just hang here for the rest of eternity? She didn't really want to risk a glance about. A dead body raising her head and looking about would be most out of character and there was no telling how the Non-Player characters Taki had created would react.<br/><br/>She was just about to give up and give Taki a piece of her mind when she spotted soft leather boots, the type a padfoot would wear upon a job. She couldn't see much else of the person with her hair obscuring her vision like golden drapes before a window. Was this what she was waiting for? Someone come to take her dead body and revive her so she could continue the adventure? A thin arm, reached out from beneath some sort of white robe or cloak or something and snatched the holographic coin from her bosom. Typical, Sarah thought, for a thief. Then the thief did something she didn't expect and reached up to slash at the rope above. Sarah suddenly became heavy and she fell onto the figure who supported her only long enough to lower her to the scaffolding's platform in a crumpled mass.<br/><br/>Now her vision was reversed, she could see only the sky above her. The moody clouds that perpetually threatened rain were now all she could see as she stared blankly towards them and past the looming figure that had cut her down and was bending over to get a better look at her corpse. She couldn't see anything inside the recesses of the hood, not who it was, nor if it was one of the students. One of the students? She hadn't considered that possibility. Suddenly she realized how she must look and if this was one of the guys and not an NPC she'd never hear the end of it- and yet... the dead didn't move... To hell with it, if it was one of the students covering up now wouldn't help."

""They haven't noticed just yet,"" she whispered seemingly to herself, shifting her head away from Sarah to see if anyone had noticed them just yet. Half of her face lit up by way of whatever sun bit through the cloud's hard to ignore protesting.<br/><br/>It was Sarah, of course. She knew she recognized the breasts, not that she made an effort to look. It was more that the woman seemed to use them like Laura used her claws. Of course, she hadn't ever seen that much of the blonde. For the most part Laura didn't register the detail as important.<br/><br/>Regardless, the entire scenario was quite puzzling. Laura imagined this was some sort of...odd vacation for her, but she couldn't exactly judge; she'd been planning to kill an endless horde of samurai.<br/><br/>Since the simulation had already played hell with her senses, Laura pressed two fingers to Sarah's neck to double check. Best to confirm a pulse with every bit of sense she had, she could of course smell that it was Sarah and hear her breathing and her heart beating, but it was quite difficult to trust in a strange place like this. But it all begged the question...<br/><br/>""What were you doing up there?"" Laura asked the would-be corpse."

Well, of all the people it could have been stumbling in on this scenario she could have imagined a lot worse. It could have been Cannonball, Sunspot or Bamf...<br/><br/>""What did it look like,"" Sarah whispered, staring up blankly, not moving a muscle beyond what she needed to respond, ""I was dead. Taki, y'know, Takashi Matsuyo? Wheels? Anyways, he's been working on a Danger Room version of a MMORPG and I Taki asked me to help him out with his justice syst...""<br/><br/>Sarah looked at the blank stare Laura was giving her. Right. Laura was a clone, brought up and raised to be an assassin. It was most likely the only role playing she knew was when she was trained in impersonation to get closer to a target. The idea of spontaneous acting and playing a part in a grand story probably was a bit beyond her limited experience. Not that she wouldn't understand, Laura seemed scary smart to Sarah, only that it might take a little longer for it to get through all that conditioning.<br/><br/>""It's a combination of both improvisational theater and paintball only with swords and spells."" Sarah attempted to explain though, hearing it spoken she wasn't quite sure if the explanation did it any justice.<br/><br/>""Well, in any event, I'm playing this character named Assallya and I got caught assassinating a duke's son and was promptly executed,"" she further explained, ""I'm just not sure what is supposed to happen now. I mean, if you didn't come along... would I just keep hanging there and where the hell is Taki anyhow?""<br/><br/>Come to think of it, Laura shouldn't have been able to get into the Danger Room at all. Which meant... Taki must have stepped out, or rolled out in his wheelchair, for a minute, probably to grab some food or go to the washrrom and Laura had chosen just that moment to enter. Wonderful!"

Like many others before her, Sarina would have to start from somewhere and go from that point and to tell the truth she was a little excited but worried at the same time of this unknown but she began to slightly trust the mutant that Professor X sent and allowed Shadowcat to bring her in.<br/><br/>Due to the time and nature of her arrival, Shadowcat showed the Sarina to her new room with her stuff, the place was dark and quiet mainly for people resting asleep, Fortunately a room was set up in the girls dormitories specifically for herself due to the nature of her powers it was best not to share a room with a fellow mutant in case of a little mishap. Either way Psylocke was on hand to to help the teen settle in also upon arrival and with what luggage the the red head did have on her and some change of clothes from the burn't ones she had, She would need to get some well deserved rest and work on the settling in and tour at a later time due to the fact she was be out of sync with the others who would go about there daily business within the grounds of this great large place and it was early hours of the morning, it did look intimidating but awe inspiring at the same time and Sarina didn't know really what to make of it and see how things would go.<br/><br/>Later on the following morning (Today.) after a long well needed rest and probably the best sleep Sarina has probably ever had, She spent the morning getting sorted putting her clothing away in the appropriate places before taking a moment to look out the window to see the mansion was alive with students and teachers alike, It was kinda hard to think that there was this many others that where mutants and shocked her at how little she knew or took notice of until now. Sarina went and got cleaned up with a nice soak in the bath enjoying the feeling while washing herself, It helped her feel relaxed for a little while before getting out and drying herself of before wrapping a towel around her body while she went about brushing her teeth followed up by brushing her hair, Sarina did stop briefly to look at her red eyes she now had, That would take time getting used to. Soon she got dressed for the morning and sorted her hair out with some hair straighteners taking her time and care before there was a knock at the door, It was Shadowcat to show her around the school.<br/><br/>The first stop was of course the cafeteria or kitchen for a spot of breakfast and a little get to know each other chit chat before going up to see Professor X for a talk there for a while, It helped Sarina to understand that it was something to do with the gene within the human body, told her of the school and of others like her, feel safe and live alongside others of her kind. That last part was certainly a strange one to hear, but he help keep Sarina's mind calm and not to overwhelm the teen to much. Soon they were on the move again meeting some of the other teachers, while getting looks from other students. The tour went on, showing the main building and the two dormitories which of course one she could not enter for it was for males, The front and back areas where shown, Sarina loved the fountain and the availability of the sports recreation and swimming pool around the back and even a horse stable was surprising to see. After a little time of chilling out and chatting back at the fountain Sarina was a happy that she came to such an amazing place and had a slightly warmth that came with it over her Olive skin.<br/><br/>Soon Sarina was taken down to the most important area to help students train, learn and to understand there unique gifts. The Danger room was certainly a sight and a bit intimidating, The room didn't look that much until a program was activated. That was a overwhelming experience to see and hear when Shadowcat explained its purpose and what it could do, Fortunately it was emotionally overwhelming and not wanting to cause an incident Shadowcat took Sarina out to get a drink and some fresh air to let it sink in. It had been a long day for the fire maiden and was much to take in on the first day. but being shown pretty much every part of this place and what it has to offer Sarina knew this would be the place for her and only hope on the following day when she met some of the student that she could at least get on with them... And not set fire to something, She was shown back to her room where she was given a key and a map to help her find her way round the school and was reassured that help is always round the corner and no long would the mutant feel alone."

Gazing down at her teammate, the corpse. ""So...you are a character in this simulation that people will play for...fun?"" Her sensitive hearing caught on to those around the pair that had noticed a hooded figure standing over an assassin's corpse. Not the best way to make a first impression on the town, but neither was attempting to assassinate a duke's child.<br/><br/>""Since you are 'dead'..."" she processed the idea and took but a moment to decide how to proceed, still not quite grasping why anyone would want to do this whole thing, she also didn't want to compromise her teammates dedication to the role. However banal it might seem to her...although, she had to admit, it was quite interesting.<br/><br/>""Brace,"" she said, and scooped Sarah's body up, standing and tossing her over one shoulder, unsure of exactly where to run, except back into the alleyway.<br/><br/>The commotion around them began and she reacted as if it were life-or-death, some semblance of understanding formed after she broke into a sprint, belligerent shouting coming from behind them as Laura stole away the assassin's corpse.<br/><br/>It wasn't easy, and couldn't possibly have been comfortable for Sarah, but Laura scaled the wall with her claws, setting her body on the shambled roof and preparing for any sort of resistance. ""So...you have no idea how to 'come back'?"" She asked, not wanting to admit she was already immersed."
11064,X-Men: The Divided,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18286-x-men-the-divided,['Casual'],2014-05-19 01:24:00,Assallya,"Sarah suppressed a gasp as Laura pulled the corpse up and lugged it over her shoulder. She'd completely forgotten how strong Laura was, a testament both to her genetic heritage and her supreme physical training. Draped over Laura's shoulder with arms and legs dangling, Sarah bit her lip when Laura adjusted her burden, placing a hand upon her buttocks to steady her. Then she took a running leap at a wall and bounded up using her claws as pitons. Sarah was bounced mercilessly.<br/><br/>Goddamn Laura was so hot right now... Sarah couldn't help but feel flushed. Laura's long black hair, which Sarah almost had a mouthful of, smelled simply wonderful. A girl as pretty as Laura but with all the mannerisms of a guy and a guy's strength to boot. Sarah could just melt into that.<br/><br/>Blushing hotly, Sarah realized that Laura might be able to smell what she was thinking. First the arousal and now the fear that came with it, the fear of being discovered. Being set down was even more terrifying. What Laura had smelled? What might she discern looking into Sarah's eyes? She was almost relieved when Laura asked a seemingly innocuous question.<br/><br/>""No idea at all,"" Sarah admitted, ""Taki's not finished this thing yet. He's planning on marketing this thing when VR tech hits the mainstream. He meant this thing to be persistent...so maybe there is no coming back?""<br/><br/>Sarah paused a moment, thinking. Finding it difficult with Laura hovering over her so closely, almost protectively. Laura could probably ravish her and there wasn't a damn thing Sarah would be able to do to stop her.<br/><br/>""Uh... Whatever. Let's take you to something that is finished,"" Sarah said after several moments. ""something I think you'd enjoy<br/><br/>""Danger Room. Set character status of Assallya Kressair to Dead, save and end. Boot up the Assassin's Creed program aboard the Ebon Raptor.""<br/><br/>There was a wash of colour as and Sarah closed her eyes. The Danger Room changing programs was like washing away the world and replacing it with something new. It sometimes made her stomach queasy. In mere moments they world rearranged itself and became the aft castle of a ship, complete with wheel. It was a medium sized vessel,<br/>a brig, with the speed of a schooner and the firepower of the much larger frigate.<br/><br/>Almost dancing over the wooden planks on her bare feet Sarah caressed the wheel and realized she wasn't quite in the right costume. That was in her duffle bag. Oh well. The programmed sailors wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The false wind stirred her loose tresses but she couldn't quite feel the spray of water on her face. No, there was no real water about.<br/><br/>""This is my baby,"" Sarah said as she approached the railing next to wheel and looked out across the deck, ""the Ebon Raptor. She's a brig, not a brigantine- that's something else- and with her I plunder the Mediterranean. This thing's not like the other. There's no real story save what we make. Some of the other rookies and even some students are running around. If you are killed, by either an NPC or another player you just start all over again. I started out with nothing, stole a small ship and took larger and larger ships until I got this one. Then I started adding guns and armour until it's what you see now.<br/><br/>""This is the one you should play. You board ships, slash about with a holographic sword, kill NPCs and other players and take their stuff. It's as simple as that but it's also training."""

Her sensitive nose, naturally, picked up on Sarah's arousal, but it was mostly met with confusion. X glanced down at herself for a moment and then quickly focused back on the square; scent is quite personal after all.<br/><br/>""Something I'd...enjoy?"" She stood up straight as the world shifted and reformed around her; she retracted her claws and folded her arms across her stomach. Laura observed Sarah dancing about the ship, barely suppressing a grin and the urge to join her. There was something about being on a ship, real or not, that was almost freeing. It helped remind her of an old friend, whether or not that memory was surrounded in blood and confusion.<br/><br/>A moment of peace floating aimlessly in a sea of sanguine memories.<br/><br/>Laura folded her arm and placed her hand on her chin, pensively rubbing her jawline with her index finger. A rarely seen smile curled up on her lips. ""I think that you are right. I could enjoy this,"" she spoke thoughtfully, taking a look around the deck, up the mast and across the sea. She sidled up to the edge and looked into the water, it was impossible to tell it wasn't real besides the smell and, truly, the heaviness of air that should have been present.<br/><br/>X wondered for a moment if she couldn't help design more realistic simulations by communicating the intricacies of scent and feeling for true immersion. The thought was filed away for later as she noticed what she was wearing. Her eyebrow arched. ""A...dress?"" she queried with an audible frown.<br/><br/>She stood there on the deck of a glorious pirate ship wearing a digistructed pale yellow dress, slightly dirtied and rather ragged with a slightly loosened corset. Though...on her hip rested a rather rusty-looking rapier, the program must have compensated for her atypical starting point and saw fit to grace her with a weapon regardless. It felt real enough, she noted, as she rested her hand on the hilt. That could be lived with.<br/><br/>""It's better to swim in the sea below, than to swing in the air and feed the crow,"" she quoted at Sarah with what could have passed for a sardonic grin."

Confused, she looked around. Her bed was gone. In fact, her<i>whole</i>room was gone. ""What the fu-"" but before she could finish her swear, she felt a tug deep in the back of her subconsciousness, and suddenly she was...<i>there</i>...<br/><br/>The cold, pristine white floor stretched from one wall of stone to another, enclosing a giant circle about the size of a football field. Splashed across the floor were hundreds of stains of all colors, but mostly a light brown and a dark yellow. Blood and urine. The smell would've gagged Hedorah, but all the... ""performers"" had grown used to it. About 100 feet up was the ceiling, bright lights burning down, illuminating the whole arena. Roughly half way up the walls was a circle of reflective material... a one-way window. And behind it? The masterminds behind this little game. But not only them, oh no. There were also Scientists. Senators. Emperors. Kings. Presidents. And a whole other mess of Rich Swines. Humans... Mutants... all of them... their<i>""Clients""</i>. Despite how it looked, the window was completely unbreakable. All who have tried, have failed. At one end of the colosseum was a huge hole, cleverly concealed by wall, but everyone knew it was there, with it's partner standing proud opposite. As the walls slowly parted to a loud rumble, the only thing Aya could say was... ""Ah, great. Not this crap, again. Fucking nightmare..."". Looking behind, she saw herself, about a year younger, standing proud and egotistical, no fucking idea what she was about to endure. ""Heh, foolish brat"" Real Aya muttered, reaching out her hand and fusing with Dream Aya.<br/><br/>Standing there in the other door was a mutant Aya knew all too well, in every way possible. Her name? Well, Aya didn't know. She always just called her ""Ariel"" due to her hydrokinesis. Aya could feel her Dream self's horror as realization dawned.<i>'Impossible. We're in completly different branches. Why? Why is Ariel my opponent'</i>. Real Aya could hear the thoughts of her counterpart loud and clear, as her own memories started to sync up. ""Ariel"" just stood there, glaring at Aya with a look of sheer determination, as a voice came over the loud speaker, ""Ladies and Gentleman, for your viewing pleasure. Mutant 24242012 and Mutant 52794389. As of this moment, all betting is closed. Thank you, and enjoy this Death Duel"". 'Heh... I always did wonder what the tables looked like. Consider it's water vs electricity, I probably had the most bets, but Ariel most likely had the greater payout' Aya thought, not even paying attention. She had been through this enough to know the outcome, no matter what she did different.<br/><br/>""Ladies... You may... BEGIN!!!"" And with that... Ariel charged..."

Laura was quoting someone clearly and the quotation was quite apt. Sarah smiled as she realized that Laura was referring to Sarah's recent experience swinging from the gibbet.<br/><br/>""Damn girl,"" Sarah replied, laughing, ""You are much smarter than what the gossip in the mansion says you are. Still, I wouldn't worry about them. You can imagine what they say about me!""<br/><br/>Sarah reached for her hip, to wear her spyglass would normally be and cursed quietly under her breath. If she were wearing her pirating costume it would have been there, inserted by the Danger Room's program. She placed a hand to her bosom, feeling nothing but the leather bustier and bare flesh that was her harem style costume for Assallya Kressair. Not being in her pirate costume also meant that her four pistols weren't there either. All she had was the holographic jambiya dagger from before. Her pirate costume was probably down in the captain's cabin.<br/><br/>""I vastly prefer having my own real costume,"" Sarah added, ""It's probably down below in my cabin. You should have a pistol on you somewhere too. At least you're supposed to start with one. Your claws won't work on your opponents here. What we need now is someone we can loot so you can take all their stuff.""<br/><br/>Shading her eyes, leaning over the railing and peering towards the horizon with one bare foot cocked up behind her she looked for a ship to engage cannonade and board.<br/><br/>""All right quarter master,"" she said to Laura behind her, ""holler the following.

I made some before you got the welcoming committee, if we are lucky there might be some left. I'll spare you my shortcut so i can show you around."" Truth be told, the fight he walked in on made him realize how unequipped he was by leaving his gear down below to get scanned, he would feel better stopping by his room to grab a bag.<br/>""First thing first, you are in the womens dormitories, that is one reason you made such a stir, second, the one with brown hair smelled someone new but the alarms didn't go off for an intruder, so she probably thought you had disabled the alarms and snuck in like an assassin or something.

Even in a relaxed walk, Magnus made hardly as sound as he moved, each foot raised and lowered on the caret without shuffle as his arms swung just away from his body so that his fabric didn't rustle. His tail swung in time with his walking to ease the weight being distributed.<br/><br/>""Each dorm as two floors, bottom floor of one bed rooms and top floor of two beds. Single beds are given to senior students and those whose powers are deemed unfit for shared space, mostly those with energy blasts or super strength, last thing you need is a nightmare going wrong and taking out a whole wall or the ceiling above you. That is why you need to spend a day in the scanners. You may have wings and strength now, but what if we put you in a room with someone who boosts your powers and you find out you can now call bugs, we wake up to beehives, ants nests and termites all trying to get a piece of you or you grow extra arms with an exoskeleton. Don't worry, it comes with an x-box and a whole wall is one screen. One sec.""<br/><br/>At the end of the hall was Magnus room, he disappeared in a soft *BAMF* in front of his own door, there was a click and the door swung open. The room was dark as could be with a blacked out window. If Jax's compound eyes percived the ultraviolet then a true black light would illuminate much of the standard pagan bedroom with bookcases set into the wall and no bed to be seen. Thick rolls of incense and herbs hung in the air with the taste of brimstone cutting through while trance music's drumming beat like a heart. If Magnus could be seen, he slipped out of his sweats to slip on some black silky<a href=""https://www.kungfudirect.com/prodimages/U0700B.jpg"">pajamas</a>and strap on his thigh holster with a few tools tossed inside.<br/><br/>""Lets go see the rest of the place, If we're lucky Leon didn't eat all the fish.

""That sounds like a good thing, I wouldn't want to get lost around here."" As Jax spoke he looked around taking it all in.<br/><br/>Jax just listened while Magnus mentioned why the two girls had attacked him like that, which he responded: ""Alarms? In a place like this isint there a kid who can detect people or something?"" After all the things he had seen, it wouldn't surprise him, and he chuckled at the last comment about the brown-haired girl.<br/><br/>by this time they had reached the foyer, Jax looked around at the grandeur and magnificence of it. ""Bit much all this surely?"" Magnus had gone on to explain how the dorms were set up, that how those with certain powers had to have their own rooms because of their instability, as they reached the bottom of the stairs Jax noticed that his companion wasnt making any noise at all, which slightly put Jax on guard as his mind flashed 'Assassin' but he tried to relax as Magnus had not made a move to attack.<br/><br/>They had stopped outside one of the many doors in what Jax could only assume were the boys dorms and with a bamf, a cloud of brimstone smoke Magnus had vanished again, but seconds later the door opened in to a blacked out room, Jax could see around the room at bookcase, the strange lack of bed for a bedroom and the many other items that littered and decorated the room, as soon as Jax could see what he was doing he looked away as he changed in to his night ware.<br/><br/>the blue boy had finished and had spoke to him.

He looked at himself to see himself changed, his arms and all he could see did not look human anymore, it was almost as if he had been carved out of a rock - his arms ragged and rough, he finished examining this version of himself as two girls had walked into the arena - his mind racing to only one thing: They are going to fight to the death. looking at both of them, one of them almost looked like Discharge....<br/><br/>Else where in the mansion in one of the dorm rooms near John's another boy was awake, smiling as he concentrated twisting the dreams of those near him..."

Her<i>or</i>Sarah. Rumors spread through little cliques in the Mansion like any other gathering of people coming into the world, but it's pretty hard to hide such a thing from a person with supernatural senses. Still, even if she could hear it she never listened - to rumors about her or anyone else.<br/><br/>""I can see why you would..."" Laura said softly, obviously uncomfortable about being portrayed in a dress - real or not. She made a quick search for said pistol, finding it wedged against her back via leather belt. The things weren't too accurate at range, but she was fairly certain she could figure out how to make use of it in close quarters.<br/><br/>Without much more provocation Laura hopped up onto the railing, rope in hand for balance, and drew her rapier. ""Yes, Captain...LOOSE THE TOPS, ROYALS AND MAINS!"" She shouted with a vigor clearly unseen, a genetic predisposition for barking orders. Laura paused for a moment, scanning her brain for something potentially inspiring, ""TO A GLORIOUS VICTORY OR DEATH AS A FREE SOUL WE SAIL!""<br/><br/>The sailors leaped into action, shouting cheers in unison as they moved like one perfectly greased gear. For a moment she allowed herself to forget she was an X-Man and in that moment she completely understood the whole 'role playing'...thing. She didn't have to admit she was enjoying this one, dress or no, but it was clearly written across the 'quarter master's' entire demeanor. If she let herself drift any more, she might swear she could feel the heat of the sun bearing down on that pale skin, heating up her onyx-colored hair and warming her typically cold bones."

In reality there was little chance that the men would follow the commands of a woman on deck. While yes, there had been a couple of lady pirates. She had looked up Mary Read and Anne Bonny and while fascinating they were the exception to the rule. Additionally, you'd think they'd have noticed that Sarah wasn't in her pirate garb and instead looked like an escaped slave from a Turkish harem and questioned their orders. The NPC's were definitely of limited intellect.<br/><br/>Laura's cry was rather surprising and Sarah blushed to think that she had flinched at the suddenness of her exultant exuberance. The girl truly was getting it. In fact, her bloodthirsty nature was probably more into this scenario than she was.<br/><br/>Stepping sideways, Sarah stood before the ship's wheel and stood on her toes as she leaned in against it and twisted the wheel.<br/><br/>""Spanker a starboard,"" Sarah next ordered and after her order was relayed she pointed towards the spar over her head that was on a pivot. Immediately several pirates moved around the aft castle, tying off ropes to fix the sail in a new position.<br/><br/>""Watch the spanker,"" Sarah advised as the pirates tied the spar down in a new position, ""It's important. The wind bounces off the tight sail and fills the sheets. That way if the wind is coming from the side it can still fill the sails. Generally, you don't even have to give the orders on your own ship, just turn the wheel and let them do their thing. The computer generated quartermaster will give those orders. After a while you can't help but lean how it all works.""<br/><br/>Turning back to face Laura, Sarah vacated the position behind the wheel and leaned her lower back against the railing at the fore of the aft castle. Propped up on her elbows she stretched out her legs and let her golden hair spill out over her shoulders.<br/><br/>""I think I see a schooner on the horizon. It's relatively easy prey. See if you can bring it to heel so that we can board her. Afterwards, you can captain her and I can be an admiral! At least, I think that's what you're called when you have more than one ship."""

Despite merging her consciousness into her dream body, Real Aya could do nothing but watch, the outcome already in her mind. Dream Aya's thoughts flowed into her, sparking memories she hadn't thought about in a long, long time. Painful ones. And despite Aya's attempts, her emotions were starting to get to her...<br/><br/>(Dream) Aya had never seen anything like this. Ariel was coming at her with a ferocity no other mutant here dared attempt. When they learned their opponent was THE Aya, their wills were broken. But, despite how hard she was coming at her, (D) Aya couldn't bring herself to fight back. Seeing her chance as Ariel stumbled, Aya quickly grabbed her shoulders and twisted her arms behind her. ""Why! Why are you doing this Aer. I thought... I thought you loved me"" she asked, her eyes tearing up. But Ariel just glared hard at her.... and laughed ""Don't be stupid. You were just great in bed"" Stunned, (D) Aya's grip slackened, and Ariel took her chance, breaking Aya's hold and punching her in the face, dazing her long enough to begin her assault.<br/><br/>Over and over, Ariel wailed on her, attacking every single point of Aya's body she could reach, her blood splattering on the ground. Pulling all her physical strength and slamming her fist into Aya's gut, dropping her to her knees. As Aya looked up into her eyes, she could've sworn she saw Ariel... flinch? But as quickly as it came, her face hardened again. ""I'm so disappointed in you. I thought for sure the<i>legendary</i>Discharge would put up more of a fight. Honestly, I don't know why I even bothered requesting this fight"" And with that she turned on her heel and began walking away. ""W-wait... You...<i>requested</i>a fight with me? But... but Ariel... I... I don't..."" ""D-DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!"" she had stopped dead, shouting those last words. Crawling a little closer, Aya reached for her beloved ""Please... I'm your... Ayame..."". Turning her head just enough, Ariel's shoulders began to shake with rage. ""No. You're just... just... JUST<i>MUTANT <b>24242012</b>!!!!!!!</i>she bellowed, turning back around, and releasing a torrent of water, so powerful, it slammed Aya into the wall, creating a crater ten feet in diameter. And with that, it was Ariel's turn to drop to her knees.<br/><br/>""Well"" came a voice over the intercom ""It seems we have a winner. I'm sorry for the disappointing performance 24242012 gave. Clearly she wasn't as willing as I'd hoped. Ladies... Gentlemen. Please collect your win-"" but he was cut off as a large burst of electricity shot out of the crater and slammed into Ariel, lifting her off her feet and throwing her back several feet. ""Hahahaha!!! I guess I spoke too soon. Ladies and Gentlemen... NOW we have a fight. And I can guarantee. It will be delicious"" the voice ecstatically proclaimed, as a battered Aya stepped out from the rubble, her eyes aglow with sheer power. Power... and hatred. ""Alright, Bitch. Let's see if you can take it just as well on the battlefield as you did last night"" Aya grinned maliciously, before igniting both her hands in the blue power of Zeus.<br/><br/>Charging ridiculously fast, Ariel barely had time to get to her feet before Aya was returning her previous assault tenfold. All her rage, sorrow, and heartbreak being poured into each electrified blow. Grabbing her throat, Aya shocked her with enough voltage to cause severe pain, but still keep her conscious, before going back to good ol' fisticuffs. Her final blow knocked Ariel away, but the hydro mutant managed to recover and fired a stream of water at Aya, but this time, she was ready. Unleashing a javelin of electricity at the center, it evaporated much of the water instantly, creating a smokescreen of fog. Using this to her advantage, Aya snuck around behind Ariel, and drove another javelin right into her spinal cord. Immediately, the woman lost all feeling in her legs as they collapsed into jelly. Slowly circling around her disabled prey, Aya relished every moment, aching to see the fear she instilled in her opponent. But instead she saw... nothing. No ounce of emotion. It... was unsettling. It was disturbing. Come on! Feel dammit... Feel... FEEL!!! ""FEAR ME!!!"" she screamed grabbing the prey by the throat. Still nothing. No... not nothing... a calm peace. ""Grrrrrrr... fine... have it your way"". Lifting her right arm, Aya charged it with as much electricity as she could, until her arm began to disintegrate<i>into</i>electricity itself. And then thrust in into her foe's stomach, until she could clench her spine.<br/><br/>""WOOO-HOOOO!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! A SPECTACULAR FINISH!!! I expected nothing less from our greatest mutant. Alright, now it's official. Collect your winnings on the way out and please throw away your trash. Remember to recycle!"" the voice over the intercom was practically dripping with glee. But Aya didn't care. She was back to her normal, gentle self. Staring down at Ar... Mutant 52794389 as she took her final breaths on the earth. But something wasn't right. She had a gentle smile on her face. And it seemed she was trying to say something. Against her better judgement, Aya leaned down to listen... and her heart went cold as ice. ""P-please don't h-hate me... m-my love... I... I did w-what I-I had to... to k-keep you... safe. Now... you can... get... the an... ti... dote. I'm s-so s-sorry... I love you... now... and forever"". And those were the last words of Ariel.<br/><br/>""Oh, dear. It seems my little secret is out"" Came a voice from behind Aya. It was the director. A man in his late forties, with sharp, grey hair and piercing, calculating... cruel eyes. ""Secret... what secret?"" Aya asked, her brain refusing to co-operate. ""Oh, can't you figure it out? No? Fine. Allow me to hit your tiny brain with some exposition. Don't overload now. You were getting sloppy. And the audience didn't like that. They felt, as we did, that you had spent enough time with your little toy. So we came up with an idea. What better way to eliminate this particular thorn... than to have you do it. But of course, you'd never hurt your precious little<i>Ariel</i>"" his face contorted into a sneer ""So we told her you had been poisoned. And the only way to get the antidote was to kill her. She was all to eager to agree. Apparently she decided to make you hate her"" he looked down at Ariel lifeless corpse ""Very effective strategy... I'll have to remember that one. Oh, right. Here you go, as promised. The antidote"" he tossed a small bottle of pills at Aya, who caught them with no problem. But looking at the label.... ""Um, sir...? These are just sugar pills"" she stated. Sure enough, the bottle contained only placebos ""Ping Pong! You are correct. Poor Ariel... I can't believe she actually thought we'd take the risk of killing our faaaaaaaaaavorite performer. I guess she died for nothing! Hahaha"" Cackling, he made his way back to the lookout, leaving Aya to fully understand everything that just took place.<br/><br/>But the broken girl he left one the floor wasn't<i>quite</i>as broken as he hoped. Slowly her mind was consumed by one thought 'Kill... Kill them all... Kill everyone... KILL EVERYONE!!!!!'. And as that phrase circled in her mind, the lights started to blink. Up in the control room, a technician monitoring Aya's vitals began to become concerned. Quickly he called the director ""Um, sir. You should come see this. 2424's energy output is increasing. I've tried to shut her down... but her collar won't respond. It's... sir, it's dead. I think... I think she might have drained it's juice. I'm trying, but the back-up battery is dead too... Oh, my god... Sir, her output is increasing exponentially"" Suddenly, all the lights went out. The only illumination came from the tendrils of electricity, being siphoned from the lights and going into Aya's body, and her eyes. Glowing and crackling fiercely. Soon her entire body began to glow ""My god. She's draining the generators! CUT HER OFF!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CAN'T? AND THE BACK-UPS TOO? If she drains that much... SIR, GET OUT OFF HERE! IF THIS KEEPS UP, SHE'LL GO-"" he never got the chance to finish as a bolt shot out the control pad and fried his neurons. The same thing happened to everyone else who was near an electrical source. In no time at all, 50% of the staff was dead... and soon... the rest followed. The doomed technician's prediction came true. That much energy was to great for Aya's body... and she exploded with the force of a ten-ton bomb, utterly decimating the facility, and vaporizing everyone in it..."

At the far end was a set of ice made pins which were ready for anything to come its way. The ice shone brightly in the rather dark sky, the mutant had lost track of time since they bumped into the new mutant known as Jest, she had been here awhile and was mainly active at the late and early hours of day for reasons no one knew. Amara, Tabitha, Bobby, Illyana, Alison, Neena, Samuel, Jubilee and Roberto were present. They all watched as they saw Jest begin to form a ball of energy, at first there was no colour to it, it was just a plain look to it but after a moment it began to go blue as the size increased.<br/><br/>They all watched as it became the size of a bowling ball, each of them seeing her handle such a task with easy though remember her saying she had never tried anything bigger then that before. Soon she found herself staring down the lane to where the pins were, she lined her shot because that was one of her skills. The other mutants waited, excitement filled the air as there would be a big bang if there was a strike. Each of them soon started to say her name in unison, each time getting a little louder.<br/><br/>The collective group:<i>“Jest……. Jest…….. Jest…….Jest…..Jest….Jest…Jest..Jest.Jest…”</i><br/><br/>It felt like they were at a football game or something as she soon let the ball go as she had her sight locked down on the pins. The ball of energy rolled quickly down the icy lane and traveled towards the pins; with each second it gained more and more momentum until finally the ball of energy hit the pins, exploding on impact and shattering the pins and the far end of the lane into small shards of ice. The group then went mad over it as the ice filled the skies as it fell back down to the ground, it was quite the sight.<br/><br/>The excitement level was high at this point causing Jubilee to fire some fireworks off to show her excitement. This in turn set the others off as Iceman started to create something with Boom-Boom just creating and throwing her energy attacks in the air and watching them blow.<br/><br/>Multi-Man had just appeared and seeing the excitement joined in as he yelled various things out to them.<br/><br/>Multi-Man:<i>“No, not again. Why didn’t anyone tell me this was going on?”</i><br/><br/>Sunspot:<i>“we couldn't find you man.”</i><br/><br/>Soon the random excitement became something more as the group soon found themselves forming into two groups. Iceman had set up more ice lanes and some more pins; he was not going to play but set up the pins if knocked down or create new ones if destroyed. Jest or April Fools which was another name for her stood watching, her mask covering her face so no one could see her facial expression, only her stance gave them any idea of what she was feeling though it was a false feeling as her arms were crossed which normally showed one was annoyed or offended.<br/><br/>Soon the sound of loud laughs filled the air, the sound of pins being knocked over and the sound of frozen balls rolling across the icy lane. This game would not last like this as soon there powers would become a factor because it was always like this and Beast as well as a few of the older X-men tried to control them in not using their powers but always failed because it would happen, the damage would be in the mid to high range. At this point Jest had moved on, she wanted to see who else was up, maybe make them smile or annoy them depending if they were the serious type or not. To the mansion she headed, maybe someone needed the company."

This only left one course of action, he moved towards the middle of the attacks, with his body made of earth the water and electrical attacks would not be fatal to him, but like everything else, nothing happened and the attacks phased through him (or did he phase through the attacks?) and the fight resumed - as much as he wanted to look away, close off his hearing, to turn away, but something compelled him to take in the fight, at one point it seemed as if Aya had lost, but the revelation that the fighters were once lovers and that hydra-girl seemed to have only used her for a good time in the sack snapped something in Aya as the latter began to fight back and eventually overpower the former.<br/><br/>the fight horrified John that Aya had to go through all this, and it was only once Hydra-girl died did it dawn on Aya, the survivor that this had all been a horrible set up designed to break up the two lovers because the horrid humans felt that Aya was slipping.

The nightmare was over. God, she couldn't wait to get up and put these damn memories behind her. Having to relive the most horrific night of her life at least once a week was starting to get to her. It was getting harder and harder to hide it from her teammates and classmates. It just kept grinding on her mind, like sandpaper, slowly shaving away her sanity. Honestly, Aya didn't know how much longer she could last like this. And she couldn't go to the professor. What would he think, seeing everything she had done, and to be perfectly honest,<i>enjoyed</i>before she came here. God it was... wait... why wasn't she awake, yet? She always woke up right here. ""What is..."" but before Aya could finish, the white vanished, replaced with the smoking crater that was once the facility. ""My God. Did I do all this? Why don't I remember?""<br/><br/>Before she could take a step, a crackling filled the air. Looking towards the sound, she found it came from the epicenter. Where she blew up. Electricity had begun to pool together, creating a vaguely human-like shape. In no time at all, Dream Aya was standing there, naked as a babe, and looking utterly confused and dejected. Something was clenched in her hands. Staining her memory, Real Aya finally remembered. It was Ariel's dog tags. They had been warped, charred, and cracked, until they resembled a black heart with a break in the middle. (R) Aya couldn't believe she had forgotten about something so important to her. Struggling to walk, (D) Aya slowly made her way out the crater, slipping over the blackened walls and various debris.<br/><br/>Finally making it to the top, she looked around, clearly not recognizing where she was. (R) Aya was similarly confused. She couldn't figure out why she didn't remember anything of this. 'Maybe it's not real?' No, that can't be it. She'd seen the wreckage from aerial photographs and this was exactly like it. It was almost like... there was a block. Like something had happened she didn't<i>WANT</i>to remember. (R) Aya was suddenly filled with a sense of utter dread as she tried to will herself awake, but of course, nothing happened. (D) Aya just kept walking. Cocking her head slightly to the right, she started walking toward an upturned van, vanishing from sight behind it. Suddenly, (R) Aya heard an anguished scream. Despite not wanting to, she had to know what was behind there. Each step felt weighed down. Like her shoes were full of lead, and after an eternity, she was there. Taking a look, she immediately regretted it.<br/><br/>Sitting there on the ground was (D) Aya, cradling a young girl of maybe fifteen in her arms. Or at least... the girl's top half. (R) Aya recognized her instantly. She had named her Mika. And Aya had taken care of her ever since she could remember. The girl had even taken to calling her sister. Wet, hot tears began to pour down her face, along with the burning from her power. But she didn't care. For all this time, Aya avoided responsibility for Ariel's death by saying that it was the Director's fault.<i>He</i>pushed her to fight and kill her love. But Mika? Mika died because of Aya. Aya wasn't forced to destroy the facility. She chose to selfishly absorb to much power to try and die. And because of it... because of her, her little sister was dead. She couldn't take it anymore. Dropping to her knees, Aya grabbed her head in agony. ""I'm a monster. I'm a monster. I'm a monster. I'm a monster!"". Lifting her head to the skies, she released a primal, soul-ripping scream of agony and defeat...<br/><br/>... which continued as she rose ramrod straight in her bed, drenched in sweat. Her powers were going haywire and destroyed the bulbs in her room. Looking around in terror, she quickly stumbled out of bed, her legs refusing to work and causing her to crash into her desk, knocking everything to floor. Ignoring that she gasped for breath and tried again, this time tumbling into her dresser and dragging the whole damn thing down. Running her back to the wall, she curled up, hyper-ventilating and trying to stop shooting of sparks. A wave of nausea ran over her and she crawled to the bathroom, puking twice on the way. She emptied her stomach once more in the toilet, before she shakily stood up. Catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror, she saw she was a wreck. But most striking. Where previously there were thin, hardly noticeable burn tracks, were now large, angry, inch thick burns down her cheek. She looked like some kind of demon. There was no way in hell those were healing. It was almost laughable<br/><br/>""The flesh reflects the monster within..."" Aya mumbled, her eyes falling on the tub. As flashbacks of those two corpses, along with all the others she had accumulated over the years, ran through her mind, Ayame made her decision. And she filled that tub. It didn't take more than a minute. Taking a deep breath, she plunged her hands in, and was immediately electrocuted. ""YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!"" She cried, as her brain forced her flesh out. Dropping to her knees, she was shaking like crazy, her hands almost as ugly as her face, but it wasn't enough. She was too drained for something simple. So she picked herself up, and prepared to dunk her whole body in, when the door burst open and she was yanked away from the tub ""STOP IT!! LET ME GO!! I WANT TO DIE!!!"" she screamed, trying to fight her restrainer, but she wouldn't let go...<br/><br/>(Yup. I'm ending it here. So... who saved Aya's life? That's up to you guys. I don't care, so long as it's a girl. Oh, and it's up to you whether or not her powers were causing any other lights and electronics to malfunction. I look forward to seeing who gets to save the day! ^_^)"

Her emerald eyes locked hawk-like onto the aforementioned schooner, boarding strategies ticked off one by one in her head. The calculated processes slipping away and continued on as she glanced back to the Cap-- Sarah.<br/><br/>""I will do my best,"" she stated with a curt nod, replacing the rapier carefully into its sheath. She would have felt more comfortable with a dagger, but somehow the sword instilled a sense of adventure rather than the comfort of a shorter blade. Like a lithe little spider she pulled herself up the netting on the aft mast, at least part of the way. It was a bit of an odd sensation knowing that, truly, she was floating in mid-air on something that weighed virtually nothing, but the tactile sensation was nearly flawless.<br/><br/>Laura let herself forget, for the moment, that she was in the danger room. Her heart embraced the whimsy and urged her to climb on just a short way. She could see the schooner almost clearly from there, no need for a telescope. Her expression was that of concentration, hard eyes locked on the target ahead.<br/><br/>With little warning she changed her hand position the rope, grasping the side awkwardly before swinging around and hurling herself back to the center of the Poop deck. Her little display of athleticism was clearly unneeded, but it made her feel good. In no small fashion she realized that's what this whole thing was about. Feeling good. And training, of course, but for now the anticipation of the hunt was on her. Training could wait.<br/><br/>She gave an awkward nod to Sarah, as if apologizing for her little stunt - a ""sorry, but I'm not sorry"" sort of gesture. ""How do you repair the damage to your ship?"" She queried with due curiosity. One would assume you'd have to sail the thing into a port, but this was a different animal altogether, perhaps there was another way to do it from the sea? It wasn't really appealing to sail a ship full of cannon holes simulation or not. Not that it would dictate her strategy too much.<br/><br/>A cautious hand graced one spoke of the wheel and her heart beat slightly faster as if there was truly something on the line. ""Thank you for showing this all to me, Ms. Covenry ,"" she glanced back at her teammate, feeling almost odd for remembering to say so while gearing up to steal a ship and masquerading as a pirate.<br/><br/>Assuming that Sarah meant for her to pilot the ship in stepping away Laura grasped the wheel firmly, staring to guide the ship towards the perilously hopeless schooner in the distance. Her plan, which may have been needlessly complicated, was to come around to the starboard of the other ship- or at least feign doing so. At the last moment she would cross the other ship's wake and give them a full blast of firepower from the rear, provided the canons could fire in order rather than all at once...<br/>In the chaos of all that, she decided, that would be the perfect time to sidle up next to her and finish off the remaining crew.<br/><br/>""We are going to come around on the starboard, fire at the rear for as little damage to your ship as possible, and then peel to their port and finish off the...scoundrels,"" Laura summated with her eyes still locked on their prey and, subsequently, her first ship."

Its a dormitory college for people from thirteen to thirty. So you've been on a bad streak for six weeks, did you mutate two months ago or longer?""<br/><br/>Locking the door on the inside, he pulled it closed with a click as his silk sighed while he lead the way. It felt good to have the familiar weight on his thigh, a security to not rely on just his powers to protect him. Jax alone proved that eternal vigilance was the only save answer, just like in his home realm where the mutants were hunted down like dogs.<br/><br/>""The one most likely to detect you was the professor, and clearly he did. He may have disabled the defenses or set them to your signature, but setting the alarms without informing the rest of us seems risky. There are others, sure, but most often they don't need the schooling like most here if being aware of other mutants is your only power. I've heard it described as having that sixth sense, they have an aura, or there is a persistent sensation in their presence.""<br/><br/>Back down the dorms hall, he made the same lack of noise with rote muscle movements as he almost loped to the main hall and turned again now away from either hall before. Passing the library, one of the many the classrooms, and following the familiar path to the kitchen. he stopped and pulled Jax to the side as some kids came flying down the hall, literally.<br/><br/>""Adding to the confusion of this place, every room but dorms has two entrances to prevent anyone from ever getting trapped.

You are never hard to find study groups here. If you have heard of the x-men already on the news or what not, any student team member has to keep a 4.0 in order to be a candidate for the missions, just like sports in regular high school.""<br/><br/>Finally they arrived in the kitchen, he looked around for a mental roll call to give the proper introductions. Thankfully most of the sushi was still there to be enjoyed as he served up a plate of a dozen pieces to offer the bugboy. He served up a plate for himself with ginger and wasabi to begin eating as he talked.<br/><br/>""Kitchen is 24 hours, food is color coded for vegetarian, vegan, kosher and halal. Eavery single thing in the kitchen is to be washed before and after each use to prevent allergic reactions. Breakfast is at eight, lunch at noon, afternoon snack at 4 and dinner at 8. Otherwise its open grazing as long as you clean your mess as you go.""<br/><br/>""Everyone. This is Jax, new face. Jax, this is..."""""

After all, who knew if there was time travel, airships or who knew what in their future? Maybe sailing and swashbuckling would end up useful someday; Who knew? Well, Sarah supposed there probably was a mutant out there that could answer that question but she certainly didn't. Inside she was a bit disappointed with having Laura at the wheel. It would have been interesting to see her leaping from a mast spar down onto someone or some other insane feat of aerial acrobatics.<br/><br/>""Powder the guns me buckos,"" she said softly to one of the artificial crewmen, this time not hollering, ""but softly. Gundeck only. Prepare to fire as she bears. Pass the word.""<br/><br/>That would, unfortunately, lessen their firepower but the worried looking figures that had emerged on aftcastle of the schooner were looking about their vessel with a spyglass and discussing with some animation what they should do about the vessel behind.. Turning back to Laura as the crewman walked away to carry out his orders, Sarah nodded gently over her shoulder towards the men atop the distant forecastle.<br/><br/>""We're being glassed."" she said casually, ""I rather imagine they're pissing themselves or... whatever it is that artificial holographic constructs do... ""<br/><br/>Then, from out of nowhere, Sarah giggled, idly tracing the leather thongs that strained to hold her harem outfit closed at the front.<br/><br/>""I tried flashing my boobs at them once when I was going after a larger ship.

Well, it was more like flickering. What was that? It had ruined her dreamless sleep. Something she hadn't reveling in in such a long time. In her jeans and shirt, which had been under her black clothes, she floated up in the air sleepily, rubbing her eyes. Looking up at the window that was flashing, she frowned. What were they doing? If they were having a rave, they were doing it wrong. She should know. She was her own personal rave every time she got excited.<br/><br/>Flying over to the window, she hovered in front of it for a moment. That girl... Aya? This didn't look good at all. Hesitating she shook her head, drifting backwards. No. Aya was in trouble. She had to help now! Putting her hands in front of her, light blasted through the window, the UV rays soaked in from the starlight scorching the sides from where her blast had left a nice sized hole. Oops... Too much maybe? Well, it was just the window.<br/><br/>She shot into the room and hovered over a haywire Aya who was stumbling about. Her power was zipping about uncontrollably, glass breaking and things all thrown about. There was sparking light everywhere and Asha put her arms up. It didn't burn, those sparks of electricity, but they felt more like being hit by switches. Where was Aya? The bathroom! Shooting into the room Asha gasped as Aya tried to electrocute herself, screaming at her to leave her alone.<br/><br/>""Like hell moron!"" she shouted right back, with a force that shocked even Asha herself. Grabbing the other girl around her waist, she dragged her backwards, flying out of the room, right back out of the hole she had shot in the other girl's bedroom. Shooting up into the sky, leaving a streak of shimmering colors and stardust, she held onto the girl with surprising ease. It was like hold a gallon of milk in both arms. Only slightly uncomfortable, but bearable.<br/><br/>Hovering over the manor she shook the screaming girl. ""Aya, look!"" she shouted at her, ""Look at me and stop screaming!"" Asha's glimmering face, dancing with sparkling soft colors just beneath her skin, her eyes were a mirada of rainbow light. Her usual quiet voice was clearer than crystal, stern and striking in its musical tone. ""What do you think you were about to do, huh?"" her voice turned more gentle, but kept it's odd clarity, ""Do you think that is anyway to deal with things? I don't know what you are upset about, but I can tell you that almost everyone here has felt your pain.""<br/><br/>""But dying doesn't cure anything,"" she flew a bit higher, the rush of wind getting colder and stronger as it passed by them in hard currents, ""It only causes grief to everyone else around you. I could drop you into the lake right below us and help you destroy yourself, but then what?"" She took a breath in and gave Aya a good glare, which looked unusual on her face. ""You'd never get a chance to fix anything,"" she said softly, ""To help yourself by learning how to control you power."" She finally did wince though, ""Speaking of, could you maybe stop with the shooting electricity? It stings a bit, even for someone who is power by UV light...""<br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r478/gaaraxnami13/Heros/Starry%20Eyed/tumblr_n2sy3vYhbC1sohinjo3_500_zpsd2a10735.jpg""/></center>"

Strange phrase Jax thought as the blue tailed boy walked back to him and locked his room. Talk soon turned to how long Jax had lived with his mutation as Magnus picked up on how long he had been living rough.<br/><br/>""It has been a lot longer then two months, it took six weeks to get here, I had to train myself to be able to use my wings for long periods of time; The strength came first - that was the hardest to master, there is no off key to it, learning to temper it was hard - there was a while when I was putting holes in walls, doors and floors, breaking mugs and all sorts, during that the wings came, that was a painful experience as I tried to hide them and out of shame so I did not use them and then lastly my eyes mutated, it was then I could no longer live where I did and the dreams of this place started - training to regain the strength in my wings took time, then after a while I began to make my journey here - having to fly by night, sleep by day.""<br/><br/>After he finished Magnus had mentioned about the Professors actions both in detecting him and disarming the alarms; ""So His power is mutant detection or mind game stuff - is that how he knew my name?""<br/><br/>Magnus mentioned that not all mutants lived at the mansion as some powers were passive things such as being able to locate other mutants, which in Jax's mind made sense.<br/><br/>As they continued to move through the boys dorms, the lack of noise which accompanied Magnus' movements still had Jax on edge a bit, with his wings involuntarily twitched once or twice. A short while they had passed the library Magnus yanked Jax into a classroom - but saw there was a reason, a small horde of younger students came rushing past, and with it came another explanation which involved a brief of what could be found in the library:<br/><br/><i>""Adding to the confusion of this place, every room but dorms has two entrances to prevent anyone from ever getting trapped.

Jax responded ""Arnt they a vigilante group of thugs?""<br/><br/>They arrived at the kitchen, with Magnus being a gracious host told him the basic rules and etiquette. With that Magnus turned and introduced Jax to - an empty kitchen...<br/><br/>There was a plate of sushi which had been prepared a while ago, but to Jax it was almost like heaven as it had not been sat in a bin for who knows how long, he took two pieces and devoured them quickly. ""Compliments to the chef!""<hr/><b>John</b><br/><br/>Everything went white, the earth mover thought that this was the end of the nightmare Aya was having and that he would wake up, but this was not the case by a long shot as the white faded and another scene resolved itself to where a strange electrical phenomena which soon settled and resolved itself as a naked Aya holding something, but it had been distorted and twisted by the sort of power Aya was giving off, but his attention didn't last on the charred bit of whatever in her hand as the bigger picture was that there was a (not totally unattractive) naked girl who wore an expression of pain and sorrow on her face, it took a time for the naked Aya to stand up and walk out of the creator stumbling on debris as she went.<br/><br/>In the corner of his eye John saw another ghostly figure floating a short distance away - the Aya who was actually dreaming this but she did not notice the earth movers presence.<br/><br/>A scream ripped though the air, making John shudder at what could of happened to cause such pain and as much as he didnt want to look, something dragged him towards where the dream aya had gone.<br/><br/>Finally the dream aya had made her way out of the creator but she had not walked very far before she had stopped, knelt down and clutched a half body, slightly charred, possibly another fighter in this place of death and hell.<br/><br/>With that John woke up with a start as he was thrown from the bed on to the (luckily) reinforced ground floor room, he shook and shuddered, triggering his power slightly as a small aftershock type earthquake rocked the mansion, but soon stopped as John mastered himself again, standing up, John began to pace, wondering what he should do after witnessing the what could only be some of the horrific things Aya had been through.<br/><br/>Coming to the conclusion that for the time being he would keep what he had seen to himself but he would do his best to watch over the girl, be a friend for her..."

He lay back in a small floating egg of sorts that moved at a walking pace, bobbing slightly as he made his way through the school. The baby peered at Jax as they passed one another. Behind him, a large young man, nearing seven feet, walked by wearing a wide visor that looked much like those the X-Man Cyclops wore and bore hands that looked quite grey, almost like they were made of stone.<br/><br/>""What chu lookin at?"" the baby said in a deep baritone that would have better served a plumber from Brooklyn.

She'd never been that good with slang, but perhaps it wasn't too late to start. Besides, she figured, pirate slang was way more fun than your garden variety American slang.<br/><br/>The wind carried them closer and closer to the smaller ship, Laura's grip in the holographic wheel tightened with anticipation - she noted her heartbeat's slight increase. Being a leader wasn't something she was that accustomed to, though she had grown into the role in simply being one of the senior X-Men, but...perhaps that was why this sort of simulation could help her training.<br/><br/>It's true, she was gifted with a mind for war and strategy - gifted being a very strong word in that scenario - but she always felt more comfortable receiving orders. Understandably so, she thought to herself. This little pirate simulation could help her gain some manner of confidence in leading, a pensive smile drew across her lips around the same time Sarah mentioned flashing the holographs.<br/><br/>""Hrm..."" She thought to herself, looking down at her own set for a moment before looking back at Sarah, ""If they did not pause for your breasts, they certainly would not pause for mine."" She pondered what a breast-noticing algorithm may even begin to look like in coding before tilting her head, somewhat lost in thought. This lead to a brief inner-discussion about the potential merits of breasts in combat and assassination in general before leading her to another question.<br/><br/>""Sarah, why do you dress in such a way if it does not hold a tactical advantage?"" Her voice was free of judgment and filled with genuine curiosity. Who was she to tell the woman what she should and shouldn't wear? Besides Sarah was obviously comfortable enough with herself and, truly, didn't seem to be embarrassed by Laura seeing her 'hanging out'.<br/><br/>There wasn't anything to be embarrassed about anyway, X thought to herself as she began the first part of her little plan - coming around on the starboard side of the other ship before swinging around."

Just not here.""<br/><br/>There was so much more to it Where to begin? The blond mutant considered what to reveal and what not to. One thing that was certain was that Laura kept secrets. She was trained to do so. That made things different than with some of the other students. She'd told Bamf, errr... Magnus, a little bit of it but she didn't trust even him. He was far too playful and free spirited, too much like herself. Unlike Laura, Sarah knew she was something of a gossip and couldn't be trusted.<br/><br/>""That's probably because I was made this way by someone, a telepath with power that almost matched Xavier's,"" Sarah explained, ""Before him I was rather timid and ordinary. I read fantasy books and hid myself away from the world. My own power gave me nightmares and those nightmares spawned shadows on my bedroom wall that spawned more nightmares. I didn't use curlers, wear makeup and I wore baggy clothes.<br/><br/>Sarah stepped away from the railing and spun on her bare feet, keeping to her toes and pirouetted, letting the ebon silks she wore floated around her limbs and the waves of golden hair spilled out with the force of her spin. She then leaned back against the rail for she realized that, having moved away from the railing that Laura was forced to choose between looking at her and the ship they were preying upon.<br/><br/>""Then he came along and rewrote my brain. He made me...."" Sarah continued and then paused, trying to figure out how to euphemize what she was going to say, ""Oh, who am I trying to kid. He made me his slut- and made me totally obedient as well. I was practically his slave. The professor fixed a lot of the damage in my head but I found I liked some aspects of what he'd done to me. For one, I'm a hell of a lot braver. I'd never do the things I do back then but then there are the drawbacks. I still like being tied up and being submissive and I have to resist that all the time-""<br/><br/>Sarah noted that the ship had grown quite close. It wouldn't be long now before everything went to hell. Which was the good part she had to admit. The cannonades, the boarding and then, of course, killing the captain and taking the ship for yourself.<br/><br/>""-and I think you're about to do your thing."" Sarah noted and withdrew slightly to allow Laura a moment to concentrate."

She screamed her head off at the bastard that was holding her tightly, not paying a lick of attention to where the hell she was. It was only when her foe spoke that Aya paused in her rage for a minute and turned her head, then she squirmed her whole body around. She recognized the girl. It was that glow-stick chick she met earlier. So astounded was she that the meek little runt had interfered that Aya barely caught what she was saying. But it had started to sink in. Slowly. And Aya's shoulders started to shake with rage ""How dare you. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!!! YOU HAVE NO CLUE THE THINGS I'VE BEEN THROUGH! You say the others have been through incidents just as bad! You naive bitch! What could you have POSSIBLY been through, huh? Let me guess, people thought your skin was ugly? Fuck off. I would KILL for a backstory as weak as that! Don't you dare! Don't you fucking DARE..."" and she suddenly stopped mid-rant.<br/><br/>For about 10 seconds she just stared intently, hard concentration swimming through her eyes, looking almost like she was rewinding a tape for a certain easter egg. Then her shoulders started shaking again, but this time from something else ""Ha... hah... hahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!"" She had begun laughing like a maniac, a crazed look coming over her eyes. Like a spiral into madness ""FIX THIS?!?! You think... I wanna fix... Hahaha! There IS no fixing this! You can't fix the past, Sweetheart, but you can learn from it, right? If someone presents a significant threat to the welfare of others... You kill them. Correct? Hel-looo? The death penalty. Lord knows, I've earned it a hundred times over. No, seriously, I've killed enough people to legally earn a hundred death penalties. I can control my powers, just fine. I don't think I need THAT lecture from a 24-hour night light"" She waved her hand dismissively, then looked down. ""You know, I think I have to question YOUR sanity, Princess. Did you seriously fly a suicidal, psychopathic, perpetual electric generator high over a large natural body of the substance that can kill her almost instantly if she completely submerged in it for longer than ten seconds, just to chastise her on trying to commit suicide by submerging herself in that same liquid in her bathtub? I-I gotta tell ya, not a great plan. And people say I'm nuts""<br/><br/>Quicker that Asha could blink, Aya's face was suddenly two centimeters from her own, a dark blush staining her cheeks, and her index finger placed under her chin. Any outsider would totally get the wrong idea. ""You do realize, I can taser you by touch alone, and cause us both to plummet to our deaths if I so choose"" Aya whispered in a husky voice ""Oooh, the thought alone gets me sooo... mmmmm"" She licked her lips, a small charge traveling up her finger... and suddenly she had a different look in her eyes. ""Oh, dear. I'm terribly sorry. I'm hope I haven't offended you"" She said in the sweetest voice you ever heard. Backing away, Aya smiled sweetly at Asha ""Thank you for stopping me back there. I don't know what I was thinking. I owe you my life. If there is ever anything you need, please let me know, okay Ms. Asha?"" Aya said, giving her rescuer a hug ""But um, do you think we could come down now? I'm starting to get cold. After all..."" she looked down, her whole face lighting up like a christmas tree, as she whispered ""I am kind of naked..."""

She was not surprised that the barely sane girl had done something to warrant a legal retribution as harsh as the death penalty. But then again most of the X-Men were like that too. She thought she was special just because she was a little off her rocker and had a bad past?<br/><br/>""Cry me a river, you big baby,"" she huffed, tilting her head to the side shooting them further up into the sky, where she could absorb more starlight. She hoped the cold made the other girl tremble and shiver her way back into sanity. ""As IF you're the<i>only</i>one with a bad past stained in blood. Just because you can zap people doesn't make you any different from the rest of us at school."" She twisted them in the air.<br/><br/>Her shimmering eyes slide coldly down to the other girl, looking at her laughing for only a moment. Gods she was tempted to roll her eyes. Leave it to Asha to try to help a crazy person. She let out a small huff. Now how would be the best way to bring her out of this loco coco talk? ""I meant fix your brain, but whatever,"" she muttered under her breath, ""Like you're so damn special just because you're wacked and have done wacking. As if the older, and even some of the younger, X-Men aren't in the same frigging boat, Sparky."" She did crack a small smile at being called a nightlight though. She wasn't totally devoid of a sense of humor.<br/><br/>""Yes, I seriously flew a suicidal, psychopathic, perpetual electric generator up into the sky, but that was with the intention of killing you unless you got a grip,"" she smirked drily, ""However from this height, the cold air and fall alone could do the job there, Sparks."" She couldn't believe she was actually starting to find this all a bit humorous. But this was the first good thing in her life and Ms Electricity here wasn't going to ruin it. That dark spot in her heart would not allow it. And if Zingy here did happen to slip from her grip, people would think it suicide anyway. Just look at her room. Asha wondered if she was really this desperate to save a spot in her new home. Wasn't she usually a passivist? Yet when this girl argued for death, that part of her mind still locked up and tortured in darkness just wanted to comply.<br/><br/>She didn't flinch when Aya clawed her way up and put her face close to hers. In fact he face looked a bit dead pan. It was an expression she had long been in control of. Thank you Daddy Dearest. She tilted her head to the side and stared right back at the raving girl. ""You do realize you'd be the only one to die,"" she shot right back, the ghost of smirk on her lips, ""UV ray chick, right here. I'd just be charged up like a battery, since we are no longer over the lake. Take a look for yourself, Sparks."" Looking down they were much higher than before. Much, much higher. It was only Asha's radiating heat and Sparky's natural electric warmth that was keeping either of them alive. The wind had made they drift farther from the manor too. They were over the vast landscape of trees now.<br/><br/>Raising a brow, she tilted her head to the side. ""Of course, I might die,"" she shrugged, ""I haven't tried this kind of death yet...."" Looking back at the other girl with an almost bored expression, she shrugged a bit. ""I'm starting to think you're always offensive,<i>dear</i>,"" she looked back at the other girl warily, wondering what she was trying to pull now. Looking down at the other girl, she found she was indeed naked. Just like how every other girl looked naked too... Why was she hoping that Aya looked more interesting when naked? Maybe because she was starting to think that there was no way she and Aya were going to get along? Or was it more like one of those freinemy things? Friend-enemy? Asha honestly didn't know. The other girl switched flips so often, it was sort of hard to tell what was going on in her head. And why were her hands still tingling to just drop her?<br/><br/>Weird. Whatever. She was getting something a kin to sunburnt from this Electric Slide already. ""Hold on,"" she hesitated but looked forwards, ""Or don't. You'll get down either way."" She smirked but gripped the girl tighter and shot forward through the biting cold air. Maybe the cold would shock her out of this weirdness. It could do them both some good, if that was the case. Like a shooting star she crossed over the sky with Miss Sparks in her unusually strong grip, sailing through the sky back over to the mansion. With a dry smirk, she shot straight down, like a hawk doing a suicide dive. But once they got a few yards from the roof of the school she stopped midair. She had to tighten her grip on Aya's body though, since the laws of physic were still at play.<br/><br/>Landing in the courtyard of the manor, not really caring who saw, she set the naked girl down and set herself on the ground as well. Her ever changing hair still floated up around her head though. She looked just as innocent as she had before. Asha was a bit odd, much like most of them were. But what happened in the sky could stay in the sky, if Aya had enough sense about her. But then again everyone sort of saw her as coocoo for coco puffs anyway..."
11086,X-Men: The Divided,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18286-x-men-the-divided,['Casual'],2014-06-03 07:24:00,Solemn,"Laura had read Sarah's file, but in her 28 years she learned how dissociated a file could be with the reality of a situation. It resonated in an odd way with her own history, but instead of reliving the trials as she might have in some years past, she simply listened to her teammate's story. They were really, in some ways, different sides of the same coin. No less tragic was Sarah's and...fortunate to the same bitter sweetness.<br/><br/>Sarah's movements were the only real things around her, her scent, the sound of her movements, it all made it so easy to simply track with her hypersenses that Laura didn't exactly need to follow her, but she deigned to. It wasn't an easy thing she'd just shared and she'd learned that, without meaning to, she could be quite cold. X didn't want that to be the case here and so she followed Sarah with those unintentionally intense emerald eyes of hers.<br/><br/>The schooner had begun to flee in the opposite direction as she thought they might, noticing this in her peripheral she continued to execute her plan, attention split between two completely different things. ""Thank you for sharing this with me,"" Laura said, knowing full and well the kind of trust it might take to share such a delicate thing. ""I think we may be more similar than I previously realized,"" X remarked as she held her eyes on Sarah for a long moment before the cannon fire ripped through the air.<br/><br/>""You are correct!"" She shouted in response to Sarah's observation, the waves of cannon fire punctuating her unusually placid demeanor. In turning back to face the action she re-immersed herself in this world with a new vigor. Well, a new anger was closer to the truth. Perhaps it wasn't all that new though.<br/><br/>The deck of the schooner was awash with splintered planks and fallen sailors, but plenty more seemed to pour from the bottom of the ship. That pleased her. She made another glance at Sarah, something similar in her eyes to the way that Wolverine looked at his teammates. Something like unexplainable devotion from a thing that shouldn't have existed, a thing meant only to kill. A loyal tin soldier waiting to be melted and molded into some other, more useful shape.<br/><br/>An odd smile crossed her lips for an instant before she blinked and re-focused on the coming slaughter.<br/><br/>""BOARD!"" She nearly screamed, her voice projecting out like a weapon. Not that it needed to, Sarah had proved that. It made X feel more powerful, even if she was much more prone to a stealth approach.<br/><br/>Laura was a flash of yellow before the ropes had completely secured the other ship. She pushed off the railing of Ebon Raptor and landed with speed and purpose on the ship that was soon to be hers. There were four sailors on the other side, none of which looked to be the captain. She found it odd even as she drew her flintlock free, drawing her rapier hilt-down with her left hand. In a move purely meant for show, she arced the blade up in front of her, releasing it and letting it spin as she tossed her pistol to the other hand.<br/><br/>X caught her blade with the right, blade pointing proper-like in time to parry a sloppy dagger thrust. She riposted the blade and continued into a spin, backhanding the first assailant with her gun-hand. The weight of her strike sent him careening across the deck, but his dagger fell to her feet. Mid-spin, even as the sailor was still falling she fired her pistol into the particularly broad chest of a dark skinned, imposing figure wielding a large axe. X halted her spin by slamming her left foot down just behind the dagger before she simply released the firearm. In an attempt to retrieve the dagger, she scooped the tip of her boot against it and flicked it upwards. To no avail, the blade caught on her dress and clanged on the deck imperceptibly against the roar of men.<br/><br/>A particularly toothless grin greeted her failure and she took a moment to be aggravated that while they couldn't recognize breasts, apparently they could recognize clumsy swordplay. To that she replied with her sword, giving him another wide smile across his throat. She kicked his digital corpse down the stairs with a feral growl, barely dodging a cutlass that was meant to rend her heart in twain.<br/><br/>Laura caught the sword-arm and pulled him in close, forgetting for an instant that her claws wouldn't work here. Neither would her sword at this distance. The sailor's fist kissed her face with a force that would've likely lifted a lesser person right off their feet. It only served to make her angry. She flipped his muscular arm over and followed him to the ground. He attempted to restrain her with both arms, but she wiggled free, hefted her foot into the air and brought her heel down straight into his testicles.<br/><br/>She noted, for realism's sake of course, that there should've been a sloppy, wet noise with that sort of force. Regardless, the blow registered on whatever pain scale was in place and he went immediately limp beneath her. X rolled off, scooped up her failure with one hand and retriever her barely bloody rapier with the other.<br/><br/>X stared into the chaos, looking for the one target that actually mattered. Not that she would mind slaying the entire ship if she had to, but strategically...she'd like to carve her new ship up as little as possible."

The woman wasn't a warrior so much as she was a force of nature. Sarah was trained and was still training in using a multitude of weapons but the former child assassin put Sarah to shame. The way she moved effortlessly through a throng of combatants was nothing short of miraculous. The blades moved about her like it was choreographed.<br/><br/>-and yet... Sarah could tell there was something off. She'd seen Laura train in the past and there was something more. She wasn't at her absolute best. There were a few times that she was almost struck, and then she actually was struck! Sarah had to dwell on that for a long moment until she realized. Laura was fighting half blind. The men she battled against didn't have the rank odour of unwashed flesh that a normal pirate would. They were a loose collection of photons and gravitic fields. The eyes in the back of Laura's skull were effectively shut.<br/><br/>Sarah was fairly content with watching Laura fight. She had been playing this scenario repeatedly over the last few weeks. She'd pretty much maxed out what she could with her ship, she'd upgraded to all four pistols. With a devilish smile, Sarah considered the possibility of starting over with some fondness.<br/><br/>Moving over to the side railing Sarah made the leap from one ship down onto the other, she landed on the shoulders of one of the crewmen and then fell forwards off of her perch and kicked out with her bare feet. The crewman went over the rail with a startled cry and Sarah rolled forward into a somersault amidst the chaos with her curved danger brandished. Two steps and Sarah lunged out from her crouch and lodged her holographic blade into one of the fictional sailors, lifting the figure up into the air and casting him aside to land heavily upon the planks.. HIs dropped blade never even hit the ground, Sarah snatched it up with her trained reflexes.<br/><br/>Another swift movement and Sarah perched herself atop the aft castle railing. She was searching out the captain, for certainly that was what Laura would be doing."

""In some ways you're lucky, at least all of your happened basically at once. Others think they are finally getting a grip on it after a few years only to get another power manifest and start all over while keeping the first power in check. So are your eyes hard or soft? we need t know if we need to get some goggles to keep them safe or not,""<br/><br/>He's just about to lead Jax on when the infant and the ogre pass by. The smallest being rather perturbed for no good reason with an apologetic thug in tow.<br/><br/>""That was Babyface, his teen-mom manifested super-genius so he did too. He was born able to use all his mind with some telekinesis, his body is still catching up to his brain so he has the hoverchair and a voicebox. One of the best gags around here is to screw with the settings on it to make him talk in brazilian or a chipmunk, one kid got it to do all showtunes for a week. The big guy is bassalisk , things he stares at start to turn to stone for a while before turning back.""<br/><br/>""The x-men are... well yeah vigilante is pretty accurate. we do what the law cant on behalf of the good side. Xavier thinks we can all live in peace beside each other. My grandfather thinks mutants should rule the world and the humans be made secondary citizens. More mutants are born every day, in a couple decades they will be a recognizable percent of the world population and then global politics will come into play rather than each country handling it themselves. My vote is all mutants to Latveria.""<br/><br/>Now that they had the kitchen all to themselves, magnus split up the Sushi between the two of them so that was three plates worth for each.

She loved the danger room for its endless possibilities and scenarios, but sometimes (like now for instance) she missed her claws striking true in a real target. Robot or flesh, flesh preferred. She had a feeling that want would never go away. Even as her blade licked across necks and danced over arteries, it was nothing compared to the rush of sinking into someone's flesh.<br/><br/>That only pissed her off.<br/><br/>A circle of hamstrung or simply dead sailors lay huddled over one another, laying at the feet of a particularly flamboyant ship captain. It was almost impossible to tell from a distance what she was feeling, but the moment had taken her much more than she thought it would. Very real blood mixed with the mock-up on her knuckles, she'd edged her claws out to give herself a sense of real pain. She could smell it, could basically taste it. Better yet? She could feel it. Her dress was torn already, exposing only brown pseudo-cloth and soft leather boots beneath. Somewhere along the line she'd picked up a nicer rapier, a French blade by the look of it. Simple, but elegant and precise.<br/><br/>Her eyes bore into the Captain, but she didn't want to make this one quick. For some reason she was tired of efficiency, she wanted to enjoy herself for once. To dance.<br/><br/>And so, they danced..."

Though the reason for their actions.<br/>""That doesnt sound too bad, give the humans a taste of their own medicine.""<br/><br/>Soon enough Magnus had split the remaining sushi up between the two of them, but Jax's half soon vanished as he was starving.

While Sarah moved through the throng, choosing her targets with careful consideration Laura just plowed through them. That was not as if to say that Laura was lacking in grace. No, she was a force of nature. She was the Juggernaut, an unstoppable force. Goddamn, Sarah would never achieve her ability, not even if she trained for another twenty years. It wasn't just the mutant abilities, the reflexes, the acute senses or the metabolism that wouldn't quit. It was the sheer joy that Laura got from such exertion. She was born a fighter. Sarah, on the other hand, preferred to languish in opulence. Being an X-Man was just something she did for a day job, partially to repay the Professor for rescuing her and partially because she simply didn't have anywhere else to go nor anything else to do with her time.<br/><br/>Sarah slipped along the railing, bare feet grapping the wood as she moved along the periphery of the fight. One thing that provided her was a certainty that nobody was about to impale her from behind. Laura had engaged the captain and their steel blades danced, a rhythm that sounded like it could have been music. Apparently the scenario had stepped up the skill of their opponent. Whether it was to make up for the fact there were two of them or simply to match Laura's superior fighting skill Sarah had no idea.<br/><br/>Stabbing a passing sailor with her recently acquired blade she appropriated a pistol with powder still in the flashpan, drawing it from the holster on his chest even as he clutched his abdomen and fell across the planks. For a moment, Sarah considered shooting Laura in the calf, just to see how the program would react. Instead she ended up aiming for the captain, hoping perhaps to give Laura an opportunity to break his guard. To her surprise, the captain grabbed one of his own sailors and used him as a shield, catching the lead ball in his chest.<br/><br/>That was a surprise. She'd never seen that before. She'd done that herself often enough but for the Danger Room to do so was surprising. There was no choice for it then. She was going to have to close.

Much faster than than a day in the tank, not that you are getting out of it. but it could be a simpler way to find out.""<br/><br/>He listened to the simple rebuttal of the bug-boy and for a moment his mind went somewhere else. His solid black eyes didn't betray any looks of horror but his chewing slowed as if he was a bit longer in thought than he should be.

Part of life in the school was having to keep several things in one's head, moreso when one became an x-man, keeping code-names at minimum was something you had to keep compartmentalized along with a dozen facts in play all at once.

To her, Sarah was like a beacon. It was impossible not to focus on her, she was the only other scent-bearing being in the room. It smelled, for an instant, as though Sarah might betray her. She could feel the emotions mingling in the air, even as she worked to defend against the sudden flurry of well-aimed attacks.<br/><br/>The AI was good enough to push her back slightly, but Laura parried again and again. Their chiming blades were like a slow rainfall on a tin roof, if rainfall could pack a punch. Sarah's pistol shot was a relief, even if it ""missed"". The maneuver surprised Laura, maybe less so than Sarah for familiarity's sake, but from that instant she knew she'd have to end this quickly.<br/><br/>Even if she couldn't tire easily, she could still get distracted. The machine didn't have that and it was quite apparent he was out to kill.<br/><br/>She made a decision.<br/><br/>The captain's sword pierced through her flimsy guard, the holographic blade bore into her. She could feel the pain pulsing through her abdomen, an electric shock simulation of sorts. Meant to short-circuit her nervous system, it likely would've knocked out most anyone else. She growled in pain, but it was obviously a maneuver of her own choosing. Obvious in the quickness that her legs shot out, that her hand pulled the Captain's grip closer, that her dagger pushed up into his guts.<br/><br/>He dropped to his knees, she wrapped her arms around his neck and twisted as he fell to the deck, the rest was quiet. She pulled the holographic sword from her gut and let it drop. All there was was silence, the ship belonged to her. She looked over at Sarah, still feeling a bit frazzled from the force of the shock. It wasn't eloquent and it wasn't her best work, but she knew how to use her mutation and could deal with it like few others could.<br/><br/>""I thought for a second there you might shoot me instead,"" she said with a sly grin - eyes showing only the slightest hints of pain. ""It is...as they say, a pirate's life, right?"" The tiniest of laughs fell from her lips like a heavy black cloud. Her smile like summer rain, even if it was warm and beautiful it was still blocking out the sun.<br/><br/>""One day I hope to meet you ship-to-ship. Maybe we will have our duel then?"""

The Professor had made his way down after having sometime to himself, some sleep was needed as he was always busy in the sense of helping all who needed it as well as classes he taught. It was rather early but the situation needed to be sorted as he made his way to where Plasma was.<br/><br/>Professor X: “How are you feeling Storm?”<br/><br/>Storm: “Much better Charles, but what of Rebecca?”<br/><br/>Professor X: “I am not sure, if the Shadow King has indeed buried himself deep in Plasma’s mind we may have a big fight ahead. Hopefully I can get her to act through her own will then through the Shadow King.”<br/><br/>Storm: “His grip has grown stronger and his abilities have grown as well. His power to control and consume was overwhelming, even more so then last time. If he keeps getting stronger how will we be able to constrain him or stop him?”<br/><br/>Professor X: “I am not sure but we have to do our best, I have always tried my best with Jean and for a time we had control of the Phoenix Force. For now all I can do is try and reach Plasma and see if she is OK.”<br/><br/>Storm soon found herself getting up, she no longer wished to be laid out and she wanted to be free. The grounds needed to be watched and the plants needed to be tended too, this was one of her pleasures as they showed hope, beauty and growth. As she slowly left the room she turned to say something.<br/><br/>Storm: “Be careful Professor, the Shadow King is indeed powerful and this maybe a ploy to get you alone with him.”<br/><br/>Professor X: “I will keep that under advisement; also don’t strain yourself as you still have a few bumps and bruises from the fight.”<br/><br/>Storm nodded and left leaving the Charles and Rebecca alone. He did not want to pray into her mind yet and so asked her something hoping she would be able to respond.<br/><br/>Professor X: “How are you feeling Becky?”<br/><br/>The young woman slowly turned her head to face the man with a smile on his face. Her eyes looked over him as she saw him reach out to her with one of his hands. A brunch or beacon of light, a man everyone depended on, no matter if you were a student or one of his X-Men."

Didnt anyone mention poking people in the eye is seen as a tad<i>rude</i>?"" Jax smirked a little as he realized breaking in and fighting with girls could also be classed as rude to a degree.<br/><br/>As Magnus listened to Jax's feelings on the human vs mutant issue Magnus remained passive, only an observant person would notice the slowing of his eating - but as Jax was busy stuffing his face he didnt notice as the conversation moved onwards.<br/><br/>""Bit harsh going on about an eye for an eye when you said you wanted to poke me in the eye!""

Down on the main deck the sailors of the schooner that had not fallen in battle had thrown down their arms, many taking to their knees with hands above their heads. Clearly it had been a rout. The only real difficulty had lain in defeating the captain and that was done. Slowly, as the blond mutant girl peered about, her bosom stopped heaving.<br/><br/>""A duel?"" Sarah questioned, ""with you? Are you kidding? You just took a dagger to your own gut just to snatch away his blade. That was insane! I've never seen the scenario do that, just up its skill level to that degree!<br/><br/>""That was magnificent,"" she added, putting ebony fingernails to her own black stained lips and blew Laura a kiss, ""simply magnificent!""<br/><br/>Shaking her head, golden locks bouncing across her slender, ebony silk wrapped shoulders, Sarah chuckled mirthfully. Thankfully, the Danger Room couldn't simulate a beheading... or at least- she was pretty sure it couldn't- could it? That would be damn freaky, rolling around on the ground and looking up at your own body. No, going up against Laura directly was tantamount to suicide.<br/><br/>Which... of course was why she wasn't going to.<br/><br/>""-and now that you're a captain now,"" she continued, changing subjects, ""you're going to need the hat to suit the part.""<br/><br/>Turning her back on Laura, Sarah examined the ruined wreck of the former captain. Planting her bare foot on the deceased captain's face Sarah turned his head and then leaned forwards, bending at the waist so that her shapely, naked buttocks, completely visible through the sheer silk was pointed directly at Laura. With that as distraction she carefully used one hand to scoop up the former captain's unused pistol in addition to his wide brimmed hat. The simple plan was to obscure the pistol with the hat, fire directly through the fabric and lay Laura flat."

Barely a few yards from going splat, they just stopped, and Asha set her down gently in the middle of the courtyard. Her shaking legs giving way, Aya dropped to her hands and knees, gasping for air. Slowly she started to chuckle. Then burst into outright laughter ""HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! THAT WAS SOOO COOL!"" She turned to Asha and glomped her ""You're so awesome! The way we just dropped like that! And then the way you perfectly managed to stop! You're amazing! I wish I could fly like you. Thank you, Nee-nee!"" She babbled out, snuggling into Asha's chest. As she backed off, you could practically see her eyes sparkle in admiration. Which suddenly turned to hatred as her whole body went tense ""<b>GOD! That stupid bitch is such a fucking brown-noser! Listen, you sparkly slut, don't think that just because you saved our lives means I owe you jack-shit!</b>"" She spit at Asha's feet ""<b>But just this once I will thank you. Now I have a reason to live for a little while longer. Kicking your fucking ass</b>"" She grinned maniacally before tensing again ""I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry!!! Please don't hate me. She... she didn't mean it! Okay, maybe a little, but please, Nee-nee. She's just angry. I won't let her hurt you or anyone! I promise. Oh, god, this is so embarrassing"" She looked away, eyes starting to spark from the tears that began to fill her eyes as a voice boomed out in her head, followed by another '<b>OH MY GOD!!! You are such a fucking pussy! And you call me embarrassing. I outta rip your fucking throat out. GROW SOME BALLS!!</b>' '<i>Eheheheh... These new arrangements are so much fun! Hey, is there any space for a pool table in here?</i>. Clutching her head, Aya bowed to Asha ""Good night, Nee-nee"" she whispered painfully with a look of apology, before turing her body to electricity and arcing in the direction of her room, adjusting her flight path as necessary.<br/><br/>Crashing into her wrecked room, Aya made for the bathroom... and simply shut it's door. She didn't feel like looking at her new hideous new scars '<b>Why not? Do they frighten you?</b>came the condescending tone from her head ""Please... stop it. Just leave me alone!"" she begged. '<b>Can't, Genius. I'm you! Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to leave. You honestly think I wanna hang with you and the freakshow in here all day?</b>' '<i>Somebody call me?</i>' '<b>NO! Just... go back to setting up your pool table!</b>'. Poor Aya fell to her rear. She was already getting a headache from this. She had no choice. She'd have to talk to the Professor. And sooner rather than later. So she got up, got dressed, and quietly left her room. She only hoped he would be awake, considering the time. It didn't take her long to reach his office, and she knocked a few times. After a few seconds, she knocked again, but there was no response, so she resigned herself to waiting... until '<i>Hey, if you're looking for the Prof-Man, he's down in the med bay with Sexual Chocolate and That Girl With The Hair</i>' Needless to say, Aya was surprised ""How do you know this?"" she asked aloud, for she quickly realized her thoughts were no longer her own '<i>Look up there. See MistressCyanide's last post? She put Prof-Man down it the med bay... duh?</i>' Aya had to blink a few times at that one. ""... Uh... um... Yeeeeeeeaaaah... Sure. I, uh, see that"" she lied. Regardless, she headed down to the med bay anyways and proceeded to knock."

I need to see how far the Shadow King has gone and how much he has spread since he latched onto you. I fear he took you for a reason, you’re powers are dangerous when not controlled.”<br/><br/>Plasma: “But, you know how sensitive my mind is?”<br/><br/>Charles: “I do and I will be gentle, you won’t know I am even there.”<br/><br/>Rebecca nodded as he soon started to probe her mind; he was greeted with many positive images and characters on the first level. The first level seemed to be full of characters and things of all kinds; many pop icon characters were there such as Godzilla, Zippo and so on. He wanted the lowest level though did not know how many levels she had but he pressed on as he passed through one door to the next level. This level was much darker and things of nightmares were here, it resembled a nightmarish wasteland. In the distance a run down power planet could be seen and it looked like it had a meltdown as everything around him was dead, no flower was alive and no wildlife could be seen or heard.<br/><br/>This level showed what she was scared of doing though having this level so close to the first worried him but he would have to deal with that later as he moved to the third level of her mind. This level showed him the X-Mansion, the inside of the building; the Professor moves down the hallway as no door to the other level was in sight yet somehow as he moved down the hallway he found himself going from one place to the next. This was where he found himself in the Danger Room where Plasma and the older X-Men were. Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Iceman, Angel, Jean and many other X-men were. They were on one side and the newbies were on the other. The older X-Men soon split into three groups and this level showed her fear of the X-Men dividing and destroying itself.<br/><br/>A door to the next level was here and so he used it, clearly Plasma needed a few one on ones but he would deal with that later. The next level started to show the sensitive parts which showed him how sensitive her mind was. Many parts had colours pulsing a lot, it seemed when one probed her mind the colours would pulse for a moment and then stop. Was her mind warning him or was it telling him something. This part of her mind was pretty much empty. The Professor moved on to another level but here he could see something was wrong, a dark webbing was all around this part of her mind, it seemed the Shadow King was making his control known here. The webbing was slowly growing making him look for the source yet it was not on this level as he went down another level.<br/><br/>This level was the darkest and the only light that happened was when the pulses happened but here they were more rapid and some of them because solid colours. In the background the glow of crimson red eyes could be seen with an evil smile with it. The Professor could see how quickly he was spreading and it was alarming though he had no time to converse with the Shadow King as he was forced out by some dark force most likely by the Shadow King. He most likely wanted him out so he could continue to spread his influence to her.<br/><br/>Charles: “Arghhhh…….. Ughhhhhhhh…….”<br/><br/>Plasma: “What…. What happened Professor?”<br/><br/>Charles takes a moment to collect himself before answering her question. His breathing slowly returned to normal though his sweating said something else.<br/><br/>Charles: “Plasma how do you feel at this very moment?”<br/><br/>Plasma: “I feel fine, why?”<br/><br/>Charles: “Are you sure, his work to spread his control over you has happened so quickly and I fear he may have more power than the last time we met.”<br/><br/>Plasma: “Can I get up now, I am bored laying here?”<br/><br/>Charles thought to himself and he did not want to hold her prisoner prompting him to say.<br/><br/>Charles: “I can but if you feel anything please come see me and I will also have a few of the X-Men keep an eye on you. If he takes control and finds a way to use you’re powers we are all in trouble. Also I would like to arrange one on ones with you, the one a week is not enough it seems so I am going to move it to twice a week, maybe three if it gets worse. Now you may leave but take it slow OK.”<br/><br/>Plasma nodded as she slowly got on her feet, she had no idea what was going to happen, no one in the X-Men did."

""Not really what I was going for, I meant more flying type stuff - but do I have to give a final answer now?""

A little pay back felt good. Aya dropped to her hands and knees and then began to laugh like the lunatic she seemed to be at the moment. Asha gave her a concerned frown. 'Cool'….huh. The surprise hug nearly knocked her off her feet and Asha did even hide her surprise.<br/><br/>""…'Nee-nee'…?"" she murmured, clearly not even registering in Aya's hearing. The girl just went on and on and on, even naked out in the yard. All Asha could do was stand and wait for the parade to be over. And just when she thought she knew what was going on in the other girl's head, that ugly side of her reared its head. Multipul personalities… One that admired her like a little kid, the other that hated her like a bitter mean girl from a movie… Oh gosh. Asha held her head, the beginnings of a headache coming on.<br/><br/>You're awesome! on and on I'll kill you blah blah blah. Stars, it was not only exhausting but also very confusing. Weakly she waved and then dropped to the ground, letting her head fall back. ""Just…what…what the hell….?"" she sighed. Her halo of changing colored hair floated around her and she just admired the quick starry sky before finally feeling like her legs could support her. Getting up on her feet, she dusted off her jeans. Jeans and a tank top. It hide barely any of her glowing glittering body, especially with all the new tears from that girl's electricity. But she was just too tired to care for the moment. She went in through the kitchen door.<br/><br/>The guy with skin the color of a velvet night sky… Mangus? and a rather large and brutish looking boy were in the kitchen. With a tired sigh she floated passed them to the fridge. Rummaging through it she pulled out a mini water bottle. Staring at it for a moment, she finally undid the cap and just poured the whole thing on her head. With a relieved sigh, she realized that some of it was now on the floor. But she didn't feel like cleaning. So she pointed a finger at it, a wispy strand of rainbow light swirling down at the water. When it disappeared like star dust there was no more water. It had evaporated. Solar energy could be useful, huh? Speaking of she wasn't wet anymore either.<br/><br/>Drifting around the boy, her feet not touching the ground, she found a seat at the table and sat down. So…tired… The window behind her had a good view of the night sky. She could feel the stars behind her as they imprinted themselves on her bare skin. Resting her head on the cool table she sighed again and closed her eyes, the floating halo of hair settling down around her shoulders as she dozed."

So I won't involve Leon until I fade Aya away, that way I won't have three characters in play)<br/><br/>Shuya ""Steve"" Habasaki slowly opened his eyes and yawned, complete with a stretch. He'd had a quiet dreamless sleep, or at least wasn't aware of any dreams. Slowly getting out of bed he looked out the window. It was still dark, but the sun would be peeking over the horizon soon enough. He always got up this early. Less people in the mansion. People made him nervous, even if they hadn't noticed his presence. Trudging to the bathroom, he did the usual morning emergency, then turned on the shower and stripped off his boxers. Stepping under the warm water, he just stood there for a while, thinking. Just thinking. Toying around in the little Multi-Mension that existed in his head. It was one of his favorite pastimes, next to ping-pong, video games, anime, and graphic novels. But those required things other than just his brain. Twenty minutes had gone by before he remembered he still needed to clean up, so he soaped up, washed off, shampooed, washed that off, then shut off the water. He dried off, then brushed his teeth real quick. All in all, it took him about half an hour. He knew guys were supposed to be fast, but screw it, he liked to think. Was that so wrong?<br/><br/>Stepping into his room again, he fumbled around in his dresser, grabbing some green boxers, torn-at-both-knees blue jeans, a blue Iron Man t-shirt, and his everyday plaid unbuttoned, button-up t-shirt. Today's was light-blue and white and had a small hole in the top of the breast pocket. Oh, yeah, and white socks with holes in the bottom, too. He got dressed and slipped on his faded white (more like grey) sneakers. Heading back to his bed and bedside table, he grabbed a quick feel of his security blanket (which was really just four chunks of a sleeping bag he'd gotten like, eight years ago, and seriously can't sleep without) and picked up his current comic, a Zenescope TPB titled<i>Robyn Hood: Wanted</i>. Leaving his room, he slipping the key into his rear pocket and made his way down to the kitchen for some solitary breakfast. Imagine his surprise at not one, but<i>three</i>people hanging around.<br/><br/>The blue-skinned ninja he recognized. He was Magnus, a teleporting rookie X-Man who Steve thought was pretty cool, if a little startling. But the other two he failed to recognize, and that made him a little nervous. One was a kind of bug man, while the other was a walking/floating rainbow. He could already feel his blood starting to harden. Keeping his eyes on the newcomers, he made his way to the fridge and got some milk, then went to the pantry and procured some Fruity Pebbles. Pouring a bowl and drowning the cereal in milk, he left the box out for seconds and placed the milk back, then grabbed a spoon and took his bowl to his favorite spot. The farthest corner of the room from anything and anyone, where he proceeded to eat and read his book, but remaining cautious and alert.<br/><br/>Luckily, it didn't seem anyone even noticed his existence..."

Like someone making something... But for some reason it felt like it was so loud. A slight frown forming on her face her eyes opened slightly. They zeroed in an asian guy making what looked like breakfast. Was it morning already? Really? Had she only sleep four hours? Because she felt like she was a zombie. And her head hurt. Maybe that's why everything sounded so loud all of a sudden. She sighed and closed her eyes again, frowning at the noises. The sun was starting to bear down on her and like a candle flickering under a cover, she could feel herself weakening. Her colors started to pale and the galaxy of stars on her body started to flicker out. It felt sort of like the after effects of donating blood. You felt like you had just been drained.<br/><br/>Ah, she had used up too much energy of Sparky! With a frown she shifted in her chair, her forehead on the table. She grumbled uncomfortably. Ugh, she was irritated. It seemed like she might of saved the girl's life, but she almost felt like it had been a waste. What a horrible thought, but she darn sure that girl was almost as coco as Harley Quinn. Asha smirked. Leave it to comic references to amuse her in such a weird state. Her once floating hair draped over her listlessly, like a silky veil of watercolors. With a deep sigh she lifted herself up from the table. She gave a whole new meaning to 'looking a bit pale'. Observing her ghostly colored hand, she frowned tiredly. Like the night sky being drained of rich color by the arrogant sunlight, so had she.<br/><br/>Looking up at the three boys, almost a bit nervously, her eyes had washed of color too. Instead of the brilliant changing colors they had been, now they were just a mixing of pale lace blues and silver. She was pretty sure if she tried to get up, she'd stumble. It wasn't like she was sickly, it was just she was lowing on star-fuel, a bit beat from dealing with Sparks, and drained for a lack of sleep. And seriously, when had she last eaten? Yesterday morning. When she had been a new arrival. Asha bit the inside of her cheek and stared at her watercolored hands. Well, she might as well eat while she was in here. And she'd have to get up sooner or late. So she slowly lifted herself from her chair, unable to float. Trying to move around her chair, she felt the world tilt and black spots danced in front of her eyes. She hardly realized that the floor was fast coming closer and closer to her face. Bracing for the cold hard pain, she clenched her eyes shut."

She was magnificent, her radiating light literally had him rooted to the spot as she deepened his shadows with her contrast.

Welcome to the family.""<br/><br/>No snide, no sarcasam, he was clearly no longer interested in the bugboy and would probably regret letting someone into his room later. But it could wait, who was this one? Obviously one of the new arrivals but he couldn't place her, he would remember someone who glowed like a sun and moved on the breeze. He watched on in stunned silence as she moved around like no one mattered while she wet herself down, evaporated water harmlessly, then put her head to the glass to drift off like she had always been here at the mansion.<br/>***<br/>He never noticed if jax left, he didn't recognize the other who came through or the cereal sitting out now. He didn't know how long he had been perched on the edge of the kitchen counter or even when he had set himself like a gargoyle watching over her shifting colors, lost in the trance of her vibrancy. Here she was, radiating light with no seeming way to diffuse or dismiss. Did she not care? Could she not turn it off... like him?<br/><br/>Her change was so subtle you never really noticed until you had to look again to see you couldn't see it. Like the full moon giving away its light to the overbearing sun or watching a rose open its petals. It wasn't until she moved that he realized she was completely different. For one thing, she wasn't floating, she was falling!<br/>*BAMF*<br/>He was already falling to catch her when he closed the distance on instinct, years of practice made his own motions rote and simple as he twisted in the negative space of his paternal dimension to catch her in a cloud of brimstone. He coiled his tail at the small of his back to protect his fused discs as he cradled her head into his stomach, he curled his shoulders up to prevent his own head from hitting the floor as right arm and leg stretched out under her to take the impact with left limbs poised to take the shock of weighted impact.<br/>""Oof!"""

Looking back to the key Jax was a bit ticked at being given the brush off and left the key there and moved over towards the solitary figure in the corner.<br/><br/>As he walked towards the boy eating his cereal, the bright light seemed to stumble, but before he could act, Magnus had poofed the few feet to make sure that the girl didnt have a hit and run -esqe accident with the floor, shrugging as looking at the bright light made his head and eyes hurt, so he continued moving to where he was going, slowly sat down opposite the kid who had just made breakfast, but no idea about how to break the ice.<br/><br/>""2000 Pound penguin for your thoughts?"""

Instead there was a smell of brimstone and the feel of something warm, soft and yet lean. This warmth held in an odd way. It almost felt like something living. But that wasn't possible. Was it? She couldn't remember what it felt like to be held. Sure she had been gripping onto a crazed naked girl just a little bit before, but she hadn't been concerned with that. Well, that and it had hurt a lot, proof being in her roughened up clothes.<br/><br/>Slowly, she opened her eyes and their watercolor blues and silvers locked with something that looked like the darkness of the night sky. The night sky had saved her? But it didn't have arms, or legs, or a mouth. Her confused, tired gazed was fixed on that mouth. It looked human-like and even made sound. Her arm reached up, fingers grazing over the rich darkness that was close to that mouth. Soft, very soft. Warm too. That's when her eyes found eyes.<i>Eyes</i>. Night didn't have eyes. A figure flashed in her mind and the colors on her skin turned to shades and tints of pinks and reds. Warm colors, like blushing.<br/><br/>This wasn't the Night Sky. This was something all too real! Her eyes widened and she hastily sat up, but the world swarm again, an annoying ache in her head slamming against her skull, reminding her not to move so quickly. Her hair shimmered like weakened stars, cascading over her shoulders. Embarrassed, pink. She wasn't wearing her usual blackout clothing. Scared, greenish blue. He was looking right at her! Worry, a kind of purple. Was he going to recoil in disgust or in anger? Wait. How had he ended up under her? Hadn't he been over there? Glancing up, she realized he must of done that 'bamf'y teleporting thing, the one where it smelt like brimstone. He had done that before too. So... he had meant to catch her. Her blushing colors took completely over, swirling over her skin and even melting into the silvers of her hair and eyes. And she was still on top of him. Slowly she untangled herself form him, a bit disappointed when the warmth was gone. He really was just like the night sky...<br/><br/>""I'm...sorry,"" she tried to smile, her eyes slipping down to focus more on her leadened limbs, ""I-I guess I forgot to save up energy to get through the day. I hope you're not hurt."" Her eyes glanced back up at him. Everything was moving in real time now, like before it had all just slowed down. In truth she probably looked a bit silly, having touched his cheek like that, laying over him like a dazed idiot with her head on his stomach."

Steve was about ready to catch her when Magnus beat him to it. So he withdrew the blood pool that was surrounding the two that no one noticed (Seriously. No one notices that. Got it? Stealth mode...) and pulled it back into his ankle, never breaking his consumption of Pebbles. But his serenity was soon broken as the bug-man made his way over to his table. Starting to panic a bit, Steve kept a calmness and waited for him to pass by, like everyone always did. But he didn't. The man sat down and the two just kinda awkwardly sat there for a while.<br/><br/>""<i>2000 Pound penguin for your thoughts</i>"" the man asked. Steve silently ""Eeped"" and tried his best to calm down. 'It's okay. Remember your exercises... and... and... oh, god... I forgot!'.

Even if she evaporated the water in his skin like the bottle's splashing, it would be worth it and nothing that wouldn't heal.<br/><br/>Her colors returned, pinks and purples and greens and all in between for a moment, there she was.

""Have you ever weighed a penguin? Anyway, I couldn't think of a better ice breaker.

""So, what can you do that got you landed here?""<br/><br/>Thinking back something was a bit out of place just before blue boy poofed to save the aforementioned sparkly lady, but after a moment or two he shook his head, waiting for the other lad to shake his hand, but after he almost jumped out of his skin when Jax sat down and spoke - a unlikely thing - he gave it a few moments before retracting his hand."

She put her hand on her head, wincing at the subtle pounding she got from so much excitement. But it wasn't like she just stop her heart from hammering. Seeming to realize something she opened eyes and looked back at him with a sheepish smile. ""Ah, you're Magnus, not the nightsky. Er, I mean, I'm A-Asha,"" she tried reminding him, but seemed to be falling all over her words, ""I was more..."" she gestures to her body as if searching for the words, ""dressed. In black? Black out cloth actually."" Tilting her head to the side, she wondered if that was the right way to put it. It had been a seriously long time since she had so much interaction with people her age, much less boys. Boys that couldn't turn it off. Boys that were like her and staring at her right now as she tired to explain that they had met before.<br/><br/>""Oh, maybe this will help,"" she leaned in close to him so he would be looking right into her eyes. It made her shimmer all kinds of shy colors, but she tried to focus on how she had felt seeing someone who couldn't turn their powers off for the first time. She concentrated all of that feeling to shine through her eyes. It gave her a slamming headache, but her eyes were soon glowing and glittering all kinds of excited golden colors, mixing with a rainbow of starry galaxy formations. She wasn't able to hold it for long though. Pain over took all that. Wincing she knew she had paled a bit more, the only colors she could keep were light cool shades now. And she had a major headache. And she felt like she had just run a marathon.<br/><br/>""Ooo don't think I can do that again,"" she breathed, more to herself than anyone else, ""I really need to eat.

He could smell her now, the tinge of sweat long since evaporated, her breath as she spoke. He had to admit his black washed eyes were made for the dark so her shining a flashlight right into his orbs hurt like hell. He winced but didn't look away, letting her see herself in the wet reflection of his glassy gaze.<br/><br/>""You showed me yours, I'll show you mine.""<br/><br/>He kept a hold of her if she would let him and in a moment<b>*BAMF*</b>they might be gone. If she stayed with him, their combined weight would have them all the way to the hallway entrance of the womens ward, if she slipped from his grasp, he wold leave her in the kitchen as he arrived in a separate womans room rather unannounced. the dimensional slip is highly disorienting, its a combination of sudden weightlessness and great force as one free-falls through a dimensional tear for a heartbeat. The slip is not pleasant for most the first time, aside from the rip it is also the source of sulfur scent he and his father are known for. the sound made comes from the displaced vacuum needed to push away all but the heaviest objects from reentry.

'Just. Shake... His FUCKING HAND' he shouted in his head, but his body wouldn't respond. He was too shocked that someone had noticed him and was actively trying to pursue a conversation. After a few moments, however, Jax withdrew his hand and instead asked him a question. Why he was here. In other words... what his powers were. Completely on instinct, Steve turned a deep crimson as his blood shot almost to the surface. Quickly Steve realized what was happening and he forced his blood back to normal... well, actually he over shot it, and his skin turned pale. But that led to a stroke of genius. And Steve instead altered his pigment. 'Your name... give him your goddamn NAME!' he mentally shouted again, oddly causing him to cringe in slight fear ""I-I'm Shu.... er... Steve... Just, um... Just Steve. And I c-c-can ch-change color"" he said, before the stutter just stopped ""That's it. That's all. Nothing else. Nothing gross. Nothing brutal....

Eventually the kid introduced himself as 'Just Steve' around all the stammering.<i>Progress</i>Jax thought - Steve didn't shake his hand, but that was only to be expected due to the kids shy nature.<br/><br/>A few more moments passed where Steve stammered out about what powers he had, plus his thoughts on them.

She swayed from the left then to the right before finding herself against the wall. She thought to herself and asked herself why she found it hard to walk straight but her answers were met with the voice of the intruder. She soon shook her head hoping to end the voice but it did nothing more than make the voice speak more so. She soon tried a few steps more but she was swaying some more making her look like a drunk to all who saw her. Luckily she was in the basement so hardly anyone was down here.<br/><br/>Dark Voice:<b>“What’s wrong, cat got your tongue? Does my presence scare you?”</b><br/><br/>Rebecca did not answer back as she kept moving and at one point fall over before getting back up.

The being in her was really getting on her nerves. Clearly they were playing games with her as she soon slowly got to her knees and looked up to see X-23 and Darkshadow. Her eyes just looked at the two and she did not blink until her body forced it to.<br/><br/>Dark Voice:<b>“I wonder which one I should use or play with.

She soon took a step back but this time she was not swaying all over the place.<br/><br/>Plasma:<b>“Ooooopppppppps. Don’t mind me I kind of fell in here after opening the doors.......”</b><br/><br/>She felt quite embarrassed as she said that but what followed next surprised her and anyone else. The lights in the danger room went out and the back-up would start soon. The power also went out throughout the building leaving everyone in the dark for a moment. This moment was a good chance for some fun as under the darkness something happened in a blink of an eye if one could see in the dark.

Running back into his room wrapped in a towel desperately trying to dry off, he quickly slipped on some boxers and black kung-fu pants (anyone know what those are called?). ""Fuck it! I'm dry enough!"" he yelled, throwing his door open and bounding down the halls, leaping of the walls to take the corners on his way the kitchen. After all, it wasn't good to train on an empty stomach.

Trying to relax, Steve reverted back to normal. ""H-how long? U-um... A-a-a-about t-two y-y-years. T-two years of b-being invi-v-visible"" he muttered, holding his book (which even Steve didn't realize he'd picked up) closer to his chest. 'Now ask about him. Do it.

She really wasn't lying about the bravery. Her heartbeat had barely fluttered while she was lying, that was impressive. Her little plan to fire a shot was more impressive still, X almost had a mind to let her pull it off and fake some dramatic death scene - she'd seen one in a movie she could probably imitate well enough. Not that she needed a movie to draw inspiration for death.<br/><br/>Laura shifted to the side, her muscles tensing with apprehension as she stretched her fingers. She didn't want to hurt the girl, but she wouldn't have time to draw - she felt it might be an insult to Sarah's honor if she didn't at least let her attempt it. Besides...she kind of wanted to see how fast the girl could move. More information.<br/><br/>The simulation came crashing to a halt, tearing her from the simulation with a soft sigh of 'release'.

While upon a sailing ship one grew accustomed to the steady rhythm and soon forgot that they were rapidly rising and falling by as much as ten feet. The ship rolled from crest to trough, up the side of one wave and then down the other. Thus, at any given moment Sarah and Laura were anywhere between standing just a few inches about the floor and several feet above it. When the Danger Room was deactivated without warning that left them standing in mid-air.<br/><br/>Laura landed, as she always did, like a cat. Sarah, thanks to the training, at least landed on her feet even if the landing looked totally awkward. She was, however, going to pretend she didn't hear herself squeal like a little girl.<br/><br/>For some reason the safeties had been disengaged. Sarah wasn't sure why. Normally Danger Room sessions didn't just end they scaled down over several long moments letting the environment adjust. Hills slowly shrank. Buildings sunk into nothingness but allowed those within to walk down the staircases before dissolving. That was to help prevent injuries like what Laura and Sarah had narrowly avoided. Sarah realized she could have broken a leg or worse had she hit wrong. The last thing she wanted was to dislocate a hip. She didn't heal like Laura did.<br/><br/>""What the fu-"" Sarah began and then the lights went out, replaced by independent battery powered recessed track lighting. The lighting was dim, meant to persevere for some time before going out. The idea was conserve power, to last days if necessary, until main power was restored. Sarah kicked in her dark vision and her eyes were cloaked in black. Iris and sclera both were a solid glossy ebony. She was uncomfortable with all the darkness and shadows, one of her most dearly held secrets, and with her eyes sheathed in black her vision pierced every shadow, every dark nook and corner of the empty room. Admittedly it was all in grayscale but it was better than nothing.<br/><br/>""What the hell is that all about?""<br/><br/>Slowly the blonde rose up from her crouch and pressed a hand against her breastbone, feeling her heart hammering. Suddenly being dropped and then ensconced in darkness had triggered a really sweet adrenalin rush. Straightening from the crouch she was in she began to remedy her appearance. Her golden locks were in her face and one of her breasts had slipped free of the skimpy costume again during the sudden fall and with a sigh she began to set it right. Stupid costume. Her sorceress character wasn't supposed to be running around doing athletic things and the costume simply wasn't designed for it.<br/><br/>While making herself presentable, she heard Laura call out Bekka's name."

Slowly getting back up to her feet it appeared the sudden lighting issue subsided the current showcase that was made by herself and the furry mutant some student went back to what they were doing until the light went out again... permanently which suddenly cause concern and some panic, The hallway they were in now had no lighting and to make it worse the was no windows so it suddenly became very dark.<br/><br/><i>'Okay nothing to worry about, keep it together, they'll come back on in a minute'</i>Sarina thought to herself calming her breathing the best she could but as the minute went past it was clear they weren't and no one could see what they were doing or moving for that matter.<b>"" Nobody move for a moment please.""</b>Sarina spoke up and preyed no one was to close to her as she took a few deep breath's and concentrated on controlling her power and light up her hand on fire to provide some illumination to the hallway which she succeeded in doing, The sudden flame in her right hand made a few students jump and she took in those around her.<b>"" What's going on?""</b>Sarina asked once more, The light she provided calm to a few nerves but no one seemed to be wanting to move or maybe it was better to wait for a teacher?, Either way it was clear to those in Sarina's presence of what the red head can do."

My m-memory i-i-isn't exactly the b-best.

Rubbing his face, he grinned cheekily and chuckled ""Guess I deserved that"" he said, holding out his paw for her to shake ""Let's start over. Hi there! I'm Leon"" he said, when suddenly, the lights flickered. Looking up, Leon was surprised when they were suddenly plunged into complete darkness. Well, not for him. Cats can see in the dark. Out of nowhere came a glow from the side. Turning, Leon saw her holding a ball of flame, illuminating the hallway. ""Huh... well, that's cool. Explains why your chest was so warm, too"" he quiped, with another charming chuckle... but it was merely to keep the spirits up. One look at his bristling fur, extended claws, tense posture, and the almost inaudible growl escaping his throat, and anyone could tell... something was bothering him... and it wasn't the fire. Something was afoul in the mansion that morning..."

<br/>Asha's body arched slightly in surprise when he reached out to hold her, but she soon relaxed and even ended up leaning on him a bit. Her hands lightly held his shoulders, almost as if she were a bit shy about being touched by anyone at all. In fact she just seemed a bit shy looking at him. She didn't have experience dealing with boys or being touched by them, so she just thought her hammering heart was something normal. And her weakened knees were obviously the fault of her weakened energy state. At his similar greeting from before she smiled. She didn't quiet know what the words meant, but she supposed they were a greeting like they had been before.<br/>The light from Asha's eyes had made him wince and she was about to apologize when he spoke about showing her his? His what? Well she soon found out. He did the thing she had seen him do before, only this time she went with him. And the only reason she knew that he had done his 'BAMF'-teleportation was because of the unique sound. With a jolt she had her arms around his neck, clinging to him, but not forcefully so. The smell of sulfur and the disorienting almost free-fall movement combined with her already spinning headache made her press her head against his chest and clench her eyes shut. Her stomach dropped, just like it had when she had been free-falling through the sky earlier that night, only she had no control over it now. She didn't know when it was over, she was too dizzy to be able to tell, still having a tight hold on Mangus, head pressed against him, eyes closed.

<br/>Magnus had to admit, he loved this trick. It goes in part with watching scary movies so the girl grabs on at just the right time. He let her hold onto him, drawing her close against his short but lean frame as he wrapped her in his tail around her waist. <br/>Soon the world stopped spinning and it was absolutely dark. A soft beat could be felt more than heard, native american drums played on his music selection in a deep tribal invocation. The scent of sulfur was soon replaced with sage and other resins to tease the tongue when she opened her mouth. The floor was plush carpet and the AC was down to a cool 70.<br/>Even though it was darker than death in here, his eyes saw it all as it was both his room and his mutation to see in the shadows. One of the reasons he brought her here was the fact that he knew his fridge had a high-chalorie vitamin infused drink meant to replenish him after a power-heavy work-out. It was usually reserved for x-men but it would count as a needed exception. His tail unwound from her waist like a warm snake to the cooler to grasp the bottle as he took her hands in his to set the ice cold cylender in her grasp.<br/>""This will help better than everything in the kitchen, tastes like one of those whole wheat smoothies with black licorice. I got something to cut it, if you don't like it.""

<br/>Asha wasn't sure exactly when they had stopped, still being dizzy and disoriented even after she heard the music in the dark. All she could really tell was that at some point his tail had wrapped around her waist and for some reason she felt a bit... flustered by it. Honestly though just noticing it had turned her thing warm shade of pink she hadn't seen herself turn before. It was a pale color though. In fact all of her was pale, compared to what she was usually. The last time she had been like this... Ah, she'd rather not think about it. Instead she focused, or tried to focus, on everything around her. And considering all of that... His tail slipped from her and his warmth was replaced with the smell of something more herbal and earthy, things she couldn't place. It was thick in the air, almost a bit heady, but comforting in a way.<br/>And it was very dark here. Was this his room? She could see better than most people when it came to looking around in the dark, since she was mutated to (something a bit called for when flying around in the dark) but she was probably no match for him. Glowing softly in the dark, she was almost a bit intrigued at how her own illumination didn't seem to break down the darkness. She could only see faint shapes, this darkness so dense, unlike any she was used to, her eyes finding his shadowy figure. He really was like the night sky, although not full of different colored galaxies and stars, she could find the different shades of colors in the objects around him, though most of them undefined. But compared to all that, his figure was just a deep blue darkness. It was... incredible, really. It almost made her want to reach out and touch him again like she had in the kitchen. Ah...but she should probably keep her hands to herself... His hands fit over hers, the cool bottle placed in her grasp. She gave off an odd though almost unseeable shimmer, like ripples on glassy smooth water. Well that...had never happened before. <br/>This was confusing and intriguing and puzzling and nerve-racking and pleasing and comforting and ... and.. o-oh, her head hurt. Asha was dizzy and weak, but her stomach tumbled like she was still free falling without control. Was she sick? A cold maybe? Well with such low energy... Ah, she didn't want to think anymore. Accepting the drink she gave him a tilted smile. ""Thank you,"" she said softly, her light nervously rippling again, as if in time with that odd fluttery feeling she had, ""Do you think... Is it alright if I sit down?""

<br/>""Shirak.""<br/>It was a single word, but it was a word of power, one that dismissed the supernatural darkness he had woven into his room. Aside from everything else of being a teleporting ninja like his father, he studied the arcane arts to build up his connection to his mother. He was no Doctor Strange, but he had his little tricks. One of witch was the summoning of darkness from the dozens of runes carved into every wall and portal. It was his own extra protection from the worlds most powerful psychic as magic was a different form of energy from that one's specialty. Yes, Magnus had a healthy respect born of fear from a man who can make everyone in a square mile drooling idiots. <br/>With the darkness dismissed, the sun poured into his eastward window. Magnus winced and averted his face to the side like a vampire while pointing his finger at the window. ""Dulak!""<br/>The window blacked out and the room was illuminated by her sole presence, but without the magic she could see almost everything. Thick books sat beside pamphlets on racks lining the wall, three tables stacked with arcane implements such as wands and daggers. The source of scent was an ever smoldering batch of sage and other essentials sitting in a hot but lightless copper cauldron that bared no smoke as it just let its aroma fill the air. The music changed, shifting from native to nordic but still with the heavy heartbeat of a drum accompanies by deep chanting that droned in and out with the horns. Following the music the source seems to be coming from a small drum sitting beside the blacked out window.<br/>""Yes, this is my room. Please sit.""<br/>Gently he took her by the shoulders and guided her down to the bed beneath the enchanted window. He himself didn't take a seat on the bed as he didn't want to seem too forward but he was not going to refuse any invitation she gave him, he was drawn to her like moth to flame. Even as the darkness of the magic had surrounded her, he could see how she shone even brighter if only by contrast to the darkness itself. <br/>Once she was settled into his bed, little more than a mattress on the floor with a Persian style pile of pillows to adjust with, he took his seat by a half flip to plant his feet on the ceilings shadow provided by her light and hung upside down to look at her not unlike a bat. He kept his hands at his sides to keep his shirt from sliding up too much but just a hint of his azure abdomen peeked out against the shimmering black silk of his suit. From his right thigh the pocket folded open from the gravity and a small thing slipped out to fall to the floor with barely a whisper, across the carpet it rolled until what looked like a crystal ball had come to rest against her foot.<br/>""Sorry, thats mine.""

<br/>Darkness was lifted lightly with just a single word by him, but he seemed to be sensitive the sunlight a bit like her. They seemed to have much in common, even with physical differences so vast. His room was small and well lived in, unlike hers. He had so many things that describe him as a person. All she had was the small bag in her room. But then again that seemed to define the life she had had pretty well. She sat, still staring at him, as if slightly entranced with his actions, his warm hand on her shoulder.<br/>Drinking down the shake, she winced at the taste. It was something alien to her. But then again there was a lot to the outside life that she was unfamiliar to. And this boy. He was alien to her to. But as strange as it all was, it was beautiful and awe-inspiring. A strange beauty. But so achingly beautiful. And this thick scented smoke, swirling around her, her senses enchanted just like she had been enchanted by his complete mystic darkness. The music so foreign and odd sounding, yet so comforting. Asha drank down the rest of her drink, her rainbow lights gaining back some of their own mystic color. When he didn't sit wit her, she tilted her head in curiosity, before touching the spot near to her.<br/>He hung upside down on the ceiling. If someone would of looked in on them, they would of thought how reflective the image might of been. Like an art work showing the two sides of yin and yang. Light and dark. Her softness, his hardness. Her ignorance, his knowledge. Then something fell out of his pocket and rolled up to her, its cool hardness resting against her foot. Curiously she picked it up, turning it over in her hands. Looking up at him she lifted it up, offering it back to him. <br/>""What is it?"" she asked softly.

<br/>Magnus didnt remove himself from the ceiling just yet, even though she touched the space beside her. Taking the crystal back, he began to roll it over his fingers as he spoke in a slow soft hypnotic tone, letting her light dance over the crystal. He moved the rst of himelf as little as possible, letting the crystal become the focus of her sight and his voice the focus of her hearing.<br/>""Its a crystal, nothing more. But is you turn it this way, and look into it... it will show you your dreams... But this is not a gift for an ordinary girl, do you want it?""<br/>His movements were slow and careful. His hand was a series of contact juggling aided by her light to cling the crystal to his skins shadow. The rest of his body inched around, hand to tail to foot to settle himself beside her as he walked along the wall to the floor until his knees tucked in against her left hip. His breath rested upon the nape of her neck as he drew her hair around to the right shoulder.<br/>

<br/>Asha kept her ever changing eyes on him, even as he stayed in the shadows of the ceiling. He took the crystal from her, rolling it over his fingers in such an impossible way. Her light mixed with its crystal qualities, his dark fingers fluidly, gracefully turning it over and over, almost in a sensual kind of dexterity. Her eyes watched the crystal ball bend and swirl with every controlled movement his mustered. It was... entrancing, to say the least. Why...was he doing this to her? But she couldn't find the words to ask him.<br/>He was careful, enchanting and slow, the light gleaming and shining off of the crystal he entranced her with. His fingers... his hands... He moved so slowly, it was like the thick heady smoke was making her slip into a dream. This shut off world, guarded by shadows. This was more than warmth and comfort and fluttering heat beats. Setting himself next to her, she couldn't help but be moved by this touch. Brushing her hair to the side, she tilted her head to the side, her eyes still on him and his crystal. The warm tickle of his breath on her nape, she let out a soft sigh. <br/>Her colors danced just beneath her skin, the mirada of colors so soft and delicate, dancing and swirling in such a dream-like way, she was sure this was not reality anymore. So she could act on impulse without fear or resignation. Her hand clasped his, capturing those strong fingers so easily able to swirl that crystal before her. Her other arm went up and brushed against the soft darkness of his shoulder. Her heavy lidded eyes shimmer, bewitched by him, drawing him closer to her, savoring him. <br/>""Should I want it?"" she asked in a hush and sweetly troubled voice.<br/>

<br/>Magnus was as enthralled by her as she was of him. Her presence gave him a hope of a connection he thought long since lost when he left his true home. Part of him wondered what she would have been like in his world, the other part didn't care since she was with him here and now.Some people might think of Magnus as 'European' with his liberal love life and favoring drinks of wine to whiskey with the adults. So to say he was more experienced than her would be to say that wolverine is 'healthy'. That experience comes with certain expectations of others to be as experienced as him. When she grasped his hand and put her hand to his shoulder, he leaned in close so her voice would be a whisper in his pointed ear and his reply would be-<br/>*Brrriiiinnng!*<br/>...Cut off.<br/>""Jigoku no chō sorera o chikushō roki!""<br/>Mad as he was, the call had to be important, he programmed it to call even if put on silent or turn back on if powered down. He reluctantly left her hanging as he made a fist and teleported the few feet to his cellphone with the retro ringtone. He knew who would be on the other end of the line and so he spoke in a familiar tongue.<br/>""Ja, Vater? Wo? Verstanden. Kann loki leiten.""<br/>He hung up the phone with a heavy sigh, things were going so well. He pointed a finger to a candle and spoke a simple incantation of 'Loki segen' to let it leap alight with fire. The room was now lit with a single candle and her celestial radiance that had him entranced with an aching desire to ignore the call. Part of him wanted to say with her to keep her safe, it would be still holding to what he was asked to do. But he was capable of so much more and he had a responsibility to everyone.<br/>""Tuck your feet up.""<br/>His voice took a colder tone as he reached under her to pull out a spare uniform from beneath the mattress. It wasn't as good as the one in the medical lab, but it would work. His tail swept into the cabinet beside the bed to grab a spare bag of tools as he started to slip off his shirt. She could get a good clear glimpse of his tight frame and tattooed chest before he covered up with his ninjutsu gi. Next came the trousers and thankfully he had black silk boxers on for both their modesty sake. Not that he cared, he was going to his dark place and such things didn't matter. Kevlar gauntlets and tabi were both covered with hollowed hooked tubes like psychotic penny whistle, such were his kunai. Clipping his clothes closed was a belt with several pouches, each set with a different ninja tool of poorer quality than his current incarnation. <br/>""Stay here. Sleep, you need it. I'll be back soon.""<br/>

<br/>Magnus had her heart racing like she had just run a marathon and it made her fall into the dizzying misty darkness. They were like a complete reflection of one another and it mystified her. He could make her stomach tumble and her skin tingle with just a touch of his multi-colored dark hands, his warmth enveloping her. It was like she was already sleep and dug deep into a sensual fantasy. The only reason pure naive Asha was so bold was because it didn't quiet feel real. People didn't touch her in reality, not willingly anyway. And she had never seen anyone like her, unable to mask themselves as a regular person. So she wanted to capture him, like he entranced her. It was a strange feeling to her.<br/>But the shrill ring of a phone broke the swirling smoke of the fantasy. Like an alarm clock she was pulled out of her sudden boldness. His warmth, his scent, his touch, it was all replaced with cold air. That desire in her was cooled and sank in her stomach, hardening into a aching disappointment. At least he seemed as irritated as she was disappointed. Of course it made her flush three shades of embarrassed peachy red. The thick sound of German on his voice made her shiver slightly and she watched him calmly. When he spoke to her again it was clipped and short, a bit cold and distant too. But she wasn't offended by it. Instead she just did as she was told and hugged her knees to her chest, watching him, almost a bit shy in her leering of him. He undressed in front of her, so she couldn't exactly summon enough will to look away. Plus it was a good little peek.<br/>He was lean and he had tattoos, which was a bit surprising. A kind of bad-boy attractive, which she was intrigued to find she liked. He had nice legs too, well worked and strong looking. She sort of hoped he wouldn't catch her examining him so intently. His uniform-like outfit replacing his regular clothes was interesting and a bit exotic looking, almost similar to her black out clothing. She knew what some of it was, but for she'd probably end up trying to find out more about it later. When Magnus spoke again, it was short and curt once more. Asha just nodded, ignoring the spike in excited golds that shot through her many peachy-reds and pinks. <br/>""Thank you,"" she said gently with a smile, resting her chin on her knees as she looked up at him. <br/>Once he left Asha took a few minutes more to look around, still sitting on the bed. She wouldn't go poking around, since it was of course his room and she not only didn't have permission, but it was his privacy as well. It was a comfortable room though, the smell of earthy scents and sounds of foreign and comforting music still lingering in the air. Slowly she laid down on his bed, her shifting colored halo of hair layering over the dark cloth of his bed. Sliding herself under the covers of his bed she turned on her side and closed her eye. Maybe this really was a dream. Her head was still swimming and her heart was still banging harder than marching band drums. Shyly burying herself in the dark sheets, Asha grinned to herself and let out a soft sigh, falling once more back into a warm darkness full of dancing crystal balls and sharp spade tailed shadows.<br/>

To her credit, she fought hard against the control. As hard as she had ever fought against anything; against conditioning, and soullessness. Against being used again. Sharp as her mind is she simply couldn't stab back against the darkness - couldn't slash through the shadows reaching to all the unwanted corners of her mind.<br/><br/>At first, it wasn't as if the Shadow King knew (or did he?) that there was some special scent, a special trigger. If he did, his sadism was just an extra twist of the knife - a twist all too familiar. She could feel her consciousness whittling into the onrushing white noise. It grew and she fell to one knee, her claws sawing at the edges of her fingers in an attempt to drag her back.<br/><br/>Sarah and the Danger Room seemed to be miles away, and then lifetimes. Every death she'd ever been a part of, her mother's, her sensei's, her first kill, her last kill, the hundreds of others in between. They all flashed through her mind in a Kubrickian attempt to red wash her strengthened consciousness. It stopped for an instant, her eyes opened and she spotted an undoubtedly bewildered Sarah.<br/><br/>Laura knew Sarah could see the horror and the pleading and the pain in her eyes and she tried her hardest to scream, to tell her to run. She felt the adrenaline building like before, she felt her flesh getting hot and her heart rate increasing. A flood of heightened senses, her organized thoughts flittering like kindled ash, the scent she could never ignore flooding her mind.<br/><br/>It was different this time, she could feel everything. She could tell it wasn't like it was because...the world didn't just go red. Laura was present. Paralyzed in her own mind, watching her compatriot fade from friend to prey. There was nothing she could do except beg to wake up or...beg that Sarah could kill her. She hoped, in these moments before it all left lucid and moved to paralytic nightmares, that Sarah could get away.<br/><br/>""Laura?"" Sarah asked, seeing nothing much more than a severe headache.<br/><br/>Then Sarah spied the blood. Laura could see through the red haze that it unsettled the blond mutant. She somehow realized something was wrong.<br/><br/>""I think we should get the professor,"" Sarah said after only a moment's consideration and then moved to tap the communicator at her belt. Laura watched Sarah pat herself down, finding only soft silk, the sheer material of her sorceress' harem outfit. She was probably looking for the communicator that she normally glued to her skin while she was in costume on a mission but couldn't find it. She then saw Sarah almost call out to the Danger Room for help. The useless ditz apparently, momentarily forgetting that without power, the Danger Room wasn't going to be opening a radio channel to anybody. Then she turned away from Laura, padding across the steel tiled floor on her bare feet, apparently going for the gym bag that had previously been in the captain's cabin of the ship.<br/><br/>Laura couldn't make out what the word Sarah said meant. She couldn't recognize her own name, anger flooded in with the most sadistic of euphoric mental grins. She was going to feel herself enjoying this, to feel herself reveling in the hunt. X could see how it unsettled her, she could feel it in the air. She could taste Sarah in the worst senses imaginable.<br/><br/>Time moved a little slow than it had before, her movement wasn't as rigid as usual. Her body almost seemed to flow, her arms hanging lazily with claws fully extended. The blood had run down her gloves, soaking in with the old stains. Fitting. Laura tipped and swayed slightly, as if getting used to standing as she rose. Her breathing picked up audibly, adapting a soft growl with every inhalation. She took a rough step forward as Sarah shuffled back. The comprehensive parts of her brain seemed to struggle with reality, it was impossible to tell if this was really happening, but in her stomach she knew. She could feel just how<i>hungry</i>looking at Sarah made her.<br/><br/>As her prey - no, Sarah. Still Sarah... Moved for her gym bag. Her body processed it immediately as a potential escape route, her overwhelming urges bled into the little bit that was still conscious. In a futile attempt...she thought of the ship, then to the mission. To her friends. Her family, Logan. Her loved ones, the people that mattered. To meeting Sarah for the first time.<br/><br/>Her memories faded into nothingness, her last stretch of hope popping like a kite string.<br/><br/>X took another step forward, this time much more balanced. Her torso bowing low and her arms extended on either side. It was unfortunately all too obvious that this was no mere headache."

Only his torch showed him where he was and only showed him small portions of the room with the limited range the torch had. As he walked around the backup he noticed some more damage to the backup meaning it was not going to be up anytime soon. Parts of the backup were missing, some parts were broken and the rest could not function without the said parts.<br/><br/>Beast: “I think we have some trouble here, the damage here is done in a way that fixing it won’t be easy.

She was a little worried, she knew something happened in the danger room but she did not know what.<br/><br/>8 minutes later.<br/><br/>Iceman and Beast were down in the basement and the first thing they did was check the basement out to see if anyone other than Charles was down here. Iceman went to check the danger rooms while beast checked the others but for him everything was clear as can be with the limited sight he had. With that he was soon in the med bay where Charles spoke up.<br/><br/>Professor X: “I take it the generator is unfixable?”<br/><br/>Beast: “We have the parts but I think we have bigger problems as the generator was destroyed in a planned way.”<br/><br/>Professor X: “This is troubling, but for now let’s return to the main floor. We need to see how the students are doing.”<br/><br/>Beast nodded and soon guided him and Plasma to the area Beast and Iceman came from. He would make Plasma keep watch out as he carried Charles up to the floor above. Rebecca had to point the torch around so Beast knew where to go but the problem was the light was limited and so he had to use his sight to the best of his abilities.<br/><br/>Iceman: “Hello, anyone down here?”<br/><br/>He had checked two of the danger rooms by this point; he had another two to go.

Wait was it two robots and a can of creamed corn?”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Outside the Mansion</span></b><br/><br/>A figure moved from one place to another using cover to hide themselves. Time to time they would look out to see if anyone was about. A few students were here and there but they were together and so dealing with them would give them away. After a moment of looking out the mystery person ran from one spot to the other until they were next to a window that lead into a class room. Like a ninja they looked out to see if anyone was coming but no one did making them enter the building undetected.<br/><br/>The room was dark which was good and this is what they wanted as they moved from this room and into the darkest corners of the hallway. They could hear mutants close by as they soon put on some night-vision googles. This corridor was pure darkness.<br/><br/>Mystery Person: “I will find you and I know you are here. I will bring you in and I will kill everyone you seen, meet or know.”<br/><br/>No one was around to hear them as they made an evil smile before setting off down the hall. By this point they were near a door and so they went through it. On the other side was a mutant sitting there, it was dark but it seemed to not bother them. What were they doing was a mystery as the intruder made their way towards the target. She says silently.<br/><br/>Mystery Person: “Times up little one, you can blame a certain someone for this.”<br/><br/>They smirked at this point before going into to take them out. The person hand reaching closer and closer to the targets chest which they phased through. Of course the mutant was aware but was unable to do anything as they felt there heart being crushed. A scream would have left the young mutants lips but the intruder had covered their mouth so no one would know. When the mutant was lifeless the intruder smiled before setting off again, the cause of death would not be known until they were examined.<br/><br/>The intruder was on the move again as they left the room and made their way elsewhere. Soon the target pulled a knife out of its holding place before making their way to the next closest mutant who seemed to be confused by what was happening. He was alone and his power was passive but a never ending problem, there appearance would change every so often from his human form to his mutant form. As he slowly walked up the corridor the intruder took action and did the job quickly as they covered the targets mouth and stabbed them right in the heart before dragging them into the empty room the other dead mutant was in.<br/><br/>Two were dead but the death games were still going. By this point though Charles was onto them. He had Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, Nightcrawler and Magneto find the unwanted guest. Of course this person was not going to be taken easily as they went on to slay a few more mutants who somehow ended up on their own. Close by Nightcrawler was jumping places while Wolverine sniffed the place out who by this point had picked up the scent of this person.<br/><br/>The thing was the intruder was always on the move and only Wolverine knew where they were other than Professor X.<br/><br/>Wolverine: “Come out here bub so I can cut you down.”<br/><br/>:/"

Touching the rusty gates of the Mansion, "" Do I belong here? "" Asking herself many times. She was afraid, she was always afraid..she was scared for life at that single moment. Focusing at the scenery, few trees grown on the mansion and vines a grew upon the walls. Dead weeds or flowers layed on the ground, rotting away turning into nutrients for the ground. Stepping closer towards the door she looked around, noticing that light didn't shimmer from the glasses of the mansion.<br/><br/>She had expected light to come from the mansion and somehow it felt eery in a way. Feeling a disturbance and now a eery aura she was totally freaked out by now. Her hands raised, shaking of fear, pushing them open no light came from it. Only light from the sun danced onto the shadows, seeing a staircase and two pairs of doors beside them. She stepped right in the door closing, looking around, ""Hello?"" her voice echoed through out the main room looking for students or Proffesser. Charles. Walking around te main room of the mansion hearing her own footsteps on te ground, 'CLACK' 'CLACK'.<br/><br/>She'd waited long enough walking up the staircase and as her arms touched the railing. Looked at the 2nd floor as halls layed in front of her. It was dark but she sensed life forms near. It wasn't her power through she felt as if there..were ones near. Suddenly she felt as if she needed to be cautious and so she continued to walk on holding up her small and weak fists, shaking with fear.<br/><br/><3"

While it was day outside, it was so pleasantly dark in his room. It was warm too, his bed soft and light. Even asleep she felt comfortable and almost peaceful. The scent of her own lavender shampoo mingled with the incense that swirled in the air around her. Her mirada of lights were finally becoming more saturated as she gained some strength back.<br/><br/>Curled under the comforter, she murmured something in her sleep, the soft heartbeat of drums playing. Tattoos dancing her her nightsky of a dream, she turned over onto her back, breathing soft and slow. The top of her head peeked out from under the blankets, rain cloud lashes fanning over skin that shifted in color with the gentle thrum of her heart. The colors of a sunrise shifted through her as she dreamed, so far away from the dark cloud of unrest that had fallen over the rest of the manor. So deep in her dreams she slept soundly, peacefully. Maybe it was gentle sway of the music, or the soft smoke, or even the warm caress of the sheets that washed over her light like dark ocean waves, but Asha slept. For once the shadows in her dreams didn't scare her. They made her feel... safe.<br/><br/>The mansion near the professor's office was a buzz with activity. But on the other side of the mansion, Asha slept soundly. Outside the sun had brushed its fingers of light over their surroundings, the golden rays burst life back into the colors of the grounds and lake. The sky was once more a bright blue, the plants a vibrant green and the lake a deep navy. Everything was brilliant and contrasted well with the dark storm brewing int mansion. With the power out, it was still dark inside, the walls that had once offered protection, now seemingly ominous in hiding the creatures in their shadows. What with the sunny clear day outside, it was odd that the lights would of just cut out. Some students sought the comfort of light outside, instead of thinking the worst. While other more cautious students seemed determined to figure out the meaning of such an odd occurrence.<br/><br/>Yet even as the mansion and its grounds trembled in subtle activity, the dorms were silent and dark. And Asha slept soundly, far from anything that might wake her."

The cat man introduced himself as Leon who seemed to be a least sorry for bumping into her the way he did but she could tell the mutant was on edge with the way he was reacting with cat like instincts with a defensive like measure. Sarina was going to break the silence by at least telling the mutant her name as she never got to do so before the lights went out and something didn't feel right.<br/><br/>Once again something stopped her telling Leon her name as a unknown to her mutant round that corner, He was probably attracted to the light she provided as the group kinda stayed close together. She didn't know any of them other than Leon and al this deep inside her had the fire Maiden on edge. The new arrival spoke up telling people to go the lounge to keep them all together, It was a sound strategy but if this was no incident isn't that something that some one would want? all the mutants together? well it be stupid to attack a group of frightened teens with powers so maybe it did not sound so bad.<b>"" A good idea""</b>Sarina replied seeing the new guy had a torch.<b>"" Take the others to the lounge, I will continue looking for others and bring them back""</b>Sarina then added as she moved out of the way to allow the new arrival with the torch to lead the others away to the lounge before she left to look for others.<br/><br/><b>Jessica.</b><br/><br/>Jessica was enjoying the quite and peaceful scene of the outdoors, She often enjoyed watching the sun rise and sun sets. There was a nice slight breeze flowing through her hair this morning and so enjoyed the moment and the peace and quiet, Of course unknown to her there was something afoul going on within the mansion. This institute is the place that JC has come to call home even if she has not been here as long as some other students, Deep down she still missed her parents but felt happy to be where she is now thanks to the help of the teachers but she has still remained relatively shy around other students.<br/><br/>As Much as JC would like to stay out here watching the sun rise in this lovely cool breeze, Her stomach had other ideas as a nice breakfast was needed, not that she always ate in the morning but a glass of juice and porridge would hurt. Letting out a soft sigh she stood up and turned back towards the mansion but stopped before walking inside, Something was unusual about it, sure it was normally quite in the mornings when either sitting in the field or by the fountain but this time it felt eerily to quiet and JC stepped away from the door for some reason she could see through the glass that the lights were out despite some light shining through.<br/><br/>Shaking the thoughts from her mind as nothing but nerves or just being silly the young student walked back inside with the aim to head for the cafeteria but she was not deceived as the lights were really out and this made the student walk further in with more caution, She prayed she would come across some students or hell even a teacher right now and find out what was going on and why the power was out."

He knew the man. His name was John, and he was some kind of earth-mover. Making the suggestion of herding the students into the lounge, Leon nodded. All his senses were screaming at him that something wasn't right, and even though putting a bunch of untrained scared students in one place was risky, at least they had a chance if something went wrong. Especially if they could get someone like Wolverine or Talon to guard them. Hell, any of the teachers, really. As John dispersed with the students, Leon was about to follow him when he noticed the red-head from earlier had left. Immediately, he darted after her, catching up in no time ""Hang on there. I can't let you go alone. There is something afoul in the mansion this night"" he said, matching her pace. ""Keep on alert, Miss... er what's your name?""<br/><br/>Leon and Sarina walked for a bit more, before something caught Leon's nose. He sniffed for second before his eyes went wide ""Blood"" and he grabbed Sarina's hand, darting down the corridor and turning the corner to a horrible sight. There were dead mutants strewn about the hall. ""Grrrrr.... RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!!!!!!"" Leon dropped to his knees and let out a primal roar that ripped throughout the entire mansion. A roar of rage, vengenace, and despair. But to those with heightened hearing, there was also a warning. One they could pass on to their companions. Whoever did this, he did not know, nor did he know where they were right now, but he did know this, the entire mansion was now on high alert. And they lost any sense of surprise they thought they had.<br/><br/>~Steve~<br/><br/>Steve was iffy about accepting the drink. He was thirsty, but he didn't really know Jax. What if he was just pranking him? What if-'What if it's just a drink?'. Shakily, he reached his hand out to take it... when a powerful roar ripped through his ears. Immediately, Steve curled into a ball with his hands over his ears to block it out as he suddenly began encased in darkness, muffling the sound. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked around, but was unable to see anything. That was when he noticed the tingling in his arms, legs, chest, and back. Running his hand over his arm, he hit a point where his skin was sliced open, and a thick, slimy branch was coming out. Of course. This was a defensive ball of blood. No wonder he couldn't see. He must've activated it out of fear. Slowly the ball dropped and Steve could see Jax's shocked face. As the blood retracted into his cuts, Steve decided to just head for his room and hide. He'd broken his number one rule: Never show anyone what he could REALLY do. He had to get out of here, before something bad happened to him. Monsters like him deserved pain, after all, right?"

Not checking the danger room, it was his turn to prep it for the next school lesson, it was the fact something compelled him to get into his old costume, more than nostalgia, it was like an old itch to always be training as he slipped out of his room and around the mansion. The lights were still on as he slunk around the building like a shadow behind and between students as he made his way to a wood sculpted column that rotated open to a maintenance hatch.<br/><br/>Down into the dark he slipped, eyes not needing a torch like so many others as he poured himself like living shadow down the spaces most other people would never fit but his ninja training has him dislocating joints as he made his way through passageways as easily as others pop their knuckles. Soon he reached his destination under the Danger room and proceeded to follow the standard procedure of shutting off the main power to the room above so he could examine the parts to see if any needed to be replaced. Sadly several of the parts were showing signs of needing to be attended to and so he began the arduous task of taking part after part out of the Danger room. Sadly he was unaware that the whole time he had accidentally turned off the power to the entire mansion and not just the area he was working in.<br/><br/>Soon enough he had removed all the parts in need of maintenance and was on his way out of the dark hole. Having lost any real sense of time and it was too deeply shielded down here to even bother trying to call, he would need to get to Forge's workshop before he even bothered to check in. This was just like any number of espionage training exercises to remove sensitive material from the enemy position.<br/><br/>Emerging up from the Art department, he found himself a little turned around but nothing too bad. With the lights out, oops, He thought to play a simple prank to take full advantage of the accidental situation, but who? Ah, there was a perfect target, the living monolith, John. Pointing his finger like a gun, he shot out a black bolt out of a crack in a door at the mantle moving mutant. With luck, he would teleport the terran tiptoe directly down into the storage room under the lobby.<br/><br/><b>*BAMF*</b><br/><br/>With mischief managed he slipped out of the door to the hallway when he heard the roar of a leopard, thinking he had been caught with his prank, he scanned for a marker he made for his known locations and was gone on a puff of smoke, two more dimensional slides and he was in the surprisingly empty workshop.<br/>""No point in being in here if there is no power."" He mused to himself before leaving a note that these parts needed to be replaced.<br/><br/>With all his work done, he couldn't wait to get his well-toned ninja-butt back where it belonged in his room and to the girl he hoped was still sharing it."

As an experiment, John slowly pulled his arm to his side, he could see the gap his arm had occupied but instinctively knew that slow and timid movements would keep him down here for a long time - with unprecedented ferocity John began to smash his way downwards - thinking to himself that any damage caused to the structure of the mansion, from the backlash of his actions would have to be repaired by him. It took perhaps about 20-35 minutes to beat through the earth before his fist met something that was there, he had punched through a sheet of concrete and hit air, as the Terrakenetic made the final surge forward he fell from the roof and hit the elevated walk way of the sewer with a thud, he lay there for a few moments, resting from the efforts and the aches of what just happened, he lifted his hand to see if his appearance had changed, it had - his hand still looked like a hand, but it did not have the human look to it, it had an obvious earthy texture and colour to it with small stone spikes protruding from both the hand and arm that was in view and shuddered at how the rest of him must look.like.<br/><br/>Eventually John stood up - and looked at the damage his landing had caused, judging from the distance he fell he must be a lot heavier then he used to be and his skin must be able to withstand more - thinking about what this new advancement would do for John (both the positive and negative) John walked along to the rungs that would lead him to the surface, but the moment he let them take his full weight they snapped and he dropped the few inches back to the walk way.<br/><br/><i>first new issue, larger mass - will need to get more reinforcements to areas of the mansion...Why cant these things ever be simple?</i><br/><br/>John shook his head as he tried to think of another way out, quickly coming to a conclusion John closed his eyes and cast his mind back to the mission to save Storm from the Shadow King and that he was able to make a sturdy wall, which he focused on which allowed him to make a pillar which elevated him to the manhole cover which he pushed open. As luck would have it he emerged from the sewers into an area of the grounds near the front entrance but was at the moment obscured by trees, as he looked around he could see no one so he made his way towards the front doors; they were open. He walked inside and called out:<br/><br/>""HELLO?! ANYONE THERE?"""

</blockquote><br/><br/>-Steve-<br/>Steve was panicking as Jax followed him down the hall. Steve had never shown his powers to anyone except the teachers and now... this? Why couldn't Steve just leave him alone. It was right at the corner of his hallway when Steve rounded on Jax ""This is the perfect time to be alone! You... you saw.... didn't you? I'm a monster! There are mutants here who complain because they can't turn off their powers, they're jealous of people like me who have ""pretty"" mutations. How can people call THIS pretty!"" he cried, as four insect-like legs of blood burst out his back ""And that's not all I have to deal with. There's also the bloodlust! I want more. I crave more... I just... I just... !!!"" Suddenly Steve stopped and felt his face. Unbeknownst to him, as he was unloading, several tiny slits had formed in his face, and blood began to seep out, forming into a sort of faceplate, creeping over his face. It had reached halfway when Steve noticed it was there. Quickly he ripped it off and threw it down, backing away as if it was some sort of demonic beast, trying to consume him. Tears had begun to flow as he withdrew again, the pain he was unloading onto this stranger coming back to hit him. ""S-sorry. I... I didn't mean to.. to put that on you. J-just leave me alone.... please?"" Steve asked, turning the corner.<br/><br/>But as soon as he did, he slipped on something, hitting the floor with a thud and cry of pain. ""Ow... what the..."" but he was cut off as the strong iron smell hit his nostrils, and the foreign crimson dribbled from his cheek into the side of his mouth. ""Blood! Oh, god, no!"". Taking a good look at the hall, he found a pool of blood, next to the body of one of the students. Steve clutched his head as he tried to ignore the smell, but it only got stronger. In no time at all, he was grasping his hand, desperately trying to keep his now blood-soaked hand away from his mouth. His tongue slowly stretched out... and... contact...<br/><br/>Immediately, blood pooled out his ears, nostrils, eyes formed and molding around his face, hardening into a blank faceplate. Then two eyes opened as a massive, toothy grin formed on the face, before opening. ""Aaaaahhhhahaahahahahaha.... It's been a while since you've let me out to play""..."

A power in and by itself does not make a monster, it is the choices of how to use that power makes the monster, kid and I never said it was pretty did I?""<br/><br/>Something started to happen, Blood was seeping out from him in a controlled (but unwanted) way as Steve began to talk about blood lust - this shy kid having a hunger for blood? Nah, not possible - but as Jax was seeing and thinking a mask began to form, but only got half way before Steve ripped it off, returning him to normal. He once more asked for peace, which Jax was more then willing to do, but had only taken a few steps when Steve had tripped over something...a body which was in the process of bleeding out, which once more freaked Steve out, it seemed the kid was struggling with himself as if he wanted to taste the blood or not, half wanting to, half not, the half that wanted to in the end won out as he tasted some of the blood, which seemed to spark a new personality (as far as Jax could tell) and this one was not as sedated as Steve appeared to be.

They were outnumbered but this person was still a slippery bastard who could in fact deal with most of them, there weakness being covered for the moment. Logan was in the dark hallway that this person had been in before where he began to search a nearby room where he could smell another, a mutant who belonged here and so he tried to get there attention. Unlucky for him this student was dead and it only took him a minute to realize as he found the body, the blood gave off a strong scent though upon smelling that he could feel something else was wrong.<br/><br/>Nightcrawler: ""Come in ya, I have some bad news afraid...... A student is down........... We lost one Professor, what do we do, what do-""<br/><br/>Logan had cut him off as he spoke up.<br/><br/>Wolverine: ""Sorry to burst your bubble blue boy but we have lost another student. How could this happen, I AM GOING TO GET SOME ANSWERS THEN I AM GOING TO GUT THEM LIKE A FISH.""<br/><br/>A loud angry roar filled the com lines before it was cut off, he was going to find this person and rip them a new one but the thing was it was not as easy as he thought it would be. The scent of this person seemed to be everywhere though of course the stronger scent showed him the most recent trail. The pitch black darkness was not going to stop or hinder the man. He would just find a way to deal with the murderer using his sniffer, the one thing that has never really let him down when it actually mattered. Each footstep was heard against the wooden floors of the hallway, he was not being stealthy as it was not his style. The constant sound of sniffy could be heard if anyone was nearby, many students would be in one place now but some would still be scattered about the mansion.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The intruder was always on the move unless a target came to mind, she kept herself hidden so no one could find her other then Wolverine, X-23 or any telepath's though they could not hurt her with the device fitted on her. Another student was in sight as she closed up on them and covered their mouth quickly before snapping there neck to make it quick, each kill was a pleasure but nothing was more pleasurable then taking a certain someone out. The body was laid out and left there as she moved, the Professor was up ahead and he knew she was there but could he warn anyone to stop her before she exposed of him. Like a tiger she pounced and jumped the Professor who gave out a warning to everyone a stranger was running about, a message which said stay together and listen to the older mutants.<br/><br/>The intruder had knocked the Professor out of his chair forcing him on the floor where she quickly dispatched him, she had drawn some sedatives in a form of a syringe. She quickly she injects it to knock him out, the rest of it was for her target. The Professor was the most dangerous here following several other telepath's but they would be brought down much easier while protected. She leaves the scene quickly and as she does Rogue turns up with Gambit.<br/><br/>Rogue: ""Professor, Professor are you OK?""<br/><br/>No answer was given making her check for a pulse, it was not very easy to find out due to her powers preventing her from touching people. Gambit gave it a go as well and it seemed he was just out cold. The mystery person soon came across a lone person, they seemed to be talking to themselves or someone else they could not see. They stayed quite for a moment to see if anyone else was around before moving by to get a better view. It looked like no one else was here making her grab them and take them into the shadows to do what she always did. Wolverine was close by as she took the life of this student and by the time she dropped them Logan had come into contact with them.<br/><br/>Wolverine: ""It was YOU WAN'ST IT?.""<br/><br/>The intruder just laughed a little showing they cared not about these people and what she did, this of course angered Wolverine and the two start to fight. Because Wolverine was similar to her target she could use the same tactics or something close to them. With his claws out he went to slash them though by this point they had used there powers making the claws rather ineffective. This staggered him as it shocked him before he felt a kick to the chest followed by another before a uppercut happened. All that staggered him a bit more though he soon recovered before they clashed again."

The mansion now slightly more improved then before thanks to Beast and several others within the mansion grounds. This month was important for both mutants and humans; this was the month that Professor would give his speech on growing matters that involved peace for mutants and humans. Most of the time falling on deaf ears or falling apart when the Brotherhood did something or when something destructive happened from either side though normally mutants were involved, even if they were not responsible for that event the blame thrown at them for obvious reasons.<br/><br/>The speech was to be made in several hours in New York, at the same time the younger mutants were getting ready to go to the anime/game conversion which was also based in New York, both events happening only several blocks away. The group consisted of 12-14 mutants, many of them being X-Men themselves. The blackbird was not in use to the young mutants, Professor X, Storm, Cyclops and Beast had use of that. The young mutants had to use public transport though what made it easier for them as some had dressed up for the event. One had dressed up as a character from the popular anime Bleach, the main hero of the series named Ichigo. One dressed as a character from Tiger and Bunny which was a hero based anime and they had dressed up as<a href=""http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110704221008/tigerbunny/images/9/9e/Kotetsu-dbl.jpg"">Tiger</a>, one of the main heroes of the series.<br/><br/>One went as Dante from DMC and so the gang of mutants were all very different. The centre that was holding the event had booked more than half of the rooms within the building though each room could be changed into a bigger room with the movable fake walls for an open plan space which would be filled with anime, games and sales booths. Outside the centre a long line could be seen going around the block though lucky for the mutants they had VIP tickets which costs more but got them in earlier then those who had the standard tickets. Flyers, balloons, loud music, lighting and people who ran the events in costumes could be seen or heard within and outside the building via the front glass double doors and panels that went across the front of the building.<br/><br/>It had been a while since Plasma herself had done anything big outside of fighting for the X-Men or defending depending on what was happening at the time. Plasma was in the building with the others who came along, some stayed back at the mansion, some went with Professor X and some went to do something else like catch a baseball game or something similar in nature. Plasma dressed up just like the others, of course one or two did not but that was there decision. She was not a big fun of Black Rock Shooter but she liked the character known as<a href=""http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31400000/BRS-black-rock-shooter-31454242-850-1220.jpg"">Rock</a>. Originally she wanted to be one of these four characters, a<a href=""http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100330140431/bioshock/images/c/c8/BigSisterFigure.png"">Big Sister</a>from Bioshock 2,<a href=""http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120226195138/borderlands/images/7/7c/BL2_maya_phaselock.jpeg"">Maya</a>from Borderlands 2,<a href=""http://www.smashbros.com/images/character/zerosuit_samus/screen-5.jpg"">Samus Aran</a>from Metroid and<a href=""http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131108034221/villains/images/b/bb/Medusa_the_Goddess_of_Darkness.jpg"">Medusa</a>from Kid Icarus: Uprising.<br/><br/>She had been up making various costumes and to good standards too but somehow found herself changing into the one she thought she would not go as. Her costume was kind of revealing at times though her cosplay coat for the character would cover her for the most part when she was still, it was only zipped at the top and the rest was open so anyone could see her pale skin tone. She felt kind of skimpy but then again it was a Japanese anime and one should expect it. She also had a katana on her, of course not a real one but one that was for show. She was going to pick one up here at the convention just because one could and because she wanted one. She had $500 dollars rolled up and placed in a safe place, Plasma saved when she could though money did not turn up that much as the mansion gave her what she needed for the most part.<br/><br/>An anime theme could be heard playing in the background though Plasma did not know what the theme belonged too. It was kind of cold outside so it was good to be inside the building where the heating could be felt, though it was on a low setting. With a ticket in one hand and the katana in the other she turned round to see what the others were doing."

What else than as<a href=""http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs47/f/2009/152/3/d/Hoshigaki_Kisame___Mist_Jounin_by_Alien_Chan.jpg"">Kisame Hoshigaki</a>! The only makeup he needed were the gills on his cheeks, he already had the blue skin and sharp teeth. He had to wrap his tail around his waist to keep it out of sight, but it was a small price to pay to be so utterly free to be able to show off his mutant powers without it thought of as nothing more than a trick of some kind. He was so happy to be here he almost forgot how close he had gotten to not coming at all.<hr/>Magnus 's room was still blotted out from the sun, absolute darkness but for the single source of light and the reason he came back.The door glided open with no light from the hall to wake her and slipped closed again. Across the room his disrobed from his ninja gear, taking a moment to check his clock, had so much time passed already? She had been asleep for hours and was probably in good need of it. he however felt a need for her.<br/><br/>Were this darkshadow, he would simply slip into the bed and rouse her like they had done so many times before. In many ways no more than assisted relief of tension, she was still able to pass for human and that always left a taint when trying to fulfill any relationship with her. With darkshadow, it was purely physical; with her, he wanted something more and he wouldn't taint it with something bordering on unwanted by simply raising up some minor magics to heighten her senses or alter her inhibitions.<br/><br/>He slipped back into his black silk pajamas and nestled in beside her with a good book known as the<a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda"">Prose Edda</a>. Quietly he read to himself, over time he began to read softly aloud and growing stronger as he poured over the words. He lost himself in the words of his god, even if he knew it well already, it was worth to read through over and over to try and find something new.<br/><br/>""...Bragi svarar: ""Sjá saga er til þess, at Óðinn fór heiman ok kom þar, er þrælar níu slógu hey.

There was a new heaviness in the bed, next to her. A new warmth. Stronger, hotter, seeping into her skin with an almost tempting ache. Her hands found him first, their shifting galaxy lights filled with bolder colors. His voice was deep, speaking in a strange and curious language.<br/><br/>""Mangus,"" her voice was the sound of stardust, gentle yet sweet sounding. Her contrasting hand passed over his abdomen, feeling molten in pleasing, like just touching set fire to her blood. It was a bold and intimate touch, but with her sleep her courage had also flowed back to her. His strange words in his hypnotic voice, she wondered what he was saying. It sounded beautiful in its strangeness and she peered up at him with her moonlit eyes.<br/><br/>""You're back,"" she said softly, propping herself up on her elbow, rainbow colored hair slightly floating up with her motion. She smiled and stretched with a breathless sigh of content pleasure, her eyes found him again. But this time they raked over his bare torso. Her colors blushed, shimmering with desire. ""What are you reading?"" she asked softly, curiously, though a bit distracted by his bare skin.<br/><br/>Magnus's stomach twitched and fluttered as he read the foreign language, if he had his father's spatial relation he would have felt her intruding into his bubble space but instead his stomach tightened up to football leather as she touched him. He didn't have a 'sick six pack' like others, he was toned and supple with definition of blue with navy shadows given illumination and contrast with her hands over his azure abdomen. His mind flickered lewdly to guide her hand under the seam of his beltline but he resisted, he could be a better man for her.<br/><br/>He watched her shimmering and shifting pattern for long moments. He was wordlessly admiring her as he put his hand to hers, tracing fingers over the back of her palm and sliding the tips of his pads up over her wrist to the forearm then back again. It was an odd sensation but her natural illumination prevented him from clinging to her since she dispelled the natural shadows he would use to grip her, in a way she left him powerless.<br/><br/>""You were sleeping, I've always been told to leave things of beauty just as they are. 'It is better to leave the rose upon the bush for all to see then pluck it and admire its slow death for yourself.' Then again I've all but kidnapped you to my room, so...""<br/><br/>He looked to the book he was reading and handed it to her. It was a well-worn piece about ten pounds with thick pages of old pulp and a hard cover with velvet book cover to keep it safe. There were stains on the fabric, some mundane, some exotic. It had the scent of age to it, no not age, the scent of experience. This book has been places and been a part of things.<br/><br/>""Its part of the Prose Edda, Norse myth. I got to warn you that it doesn't translate well, it is in icelandic from the thirteenth century...""<br/><br/>He closed his eyes and repeated the last page he had read to himself but to her instead. His hands slipped down to touch her, to put his hands under her shoulders to touch just above her breasts and pull her closer to him. He was trying to drag her nearer to nestle into him if she wanted but he wouldn't force her against her will.<br/><br/>""Bragi answered: ""tale of Odin went home and came nine thralls were mowing hay. He asked if they fain that he whet their scythes. They confess it. Hein Then he took of his belt and sharpened ljána, but they thought bite Lea much better, and pale Hein, but food so that he is buying would, would give the hoof. but all said they wish and prayed he sold, but he threw Hein inside the air. When everyone wanted to throw, then were divided so with that each drew ljánum the neck rest. Odin sought a night's lodging to a giant who is called Baugi brother Suttungr '. Topical called evil trusted her and said that his slaves had nine drepizt, but was considered not to know the expectation of men. Odin called him Bölverkr. He offered to take nine men work for the Circle, but said his wages one drink of Suttungr Mead. Baugur said he expected nothing own mead, said that Suttungr was determined to have, but he said he would go with a curse Erki, and try if they would mead.""<br/><br/>His skin was so beautifully dark, like pure moonless midnight. There was the strongest urge to kiss that warm skin of his, lean muscle tensing under her fingertips. At least she wasn't the only one effected by their closeness. Looking up at him, she found he had stopped reading for a moment and was instead watching her. His fingers trailed over her arm and she shivered in delight at the foreign sensation. Her colored warmed once more, but were vastly more vivid and golden in their blushing shades.<br/><br/>""I wouldn't call it 'kidnapping',"" she said softly, shyly, with a slight smile. He handed her the book he had been reading, which was heavy and covered by velvet. It seemed to be very old and she was a bit fascinated. Norse mythology in Icelandic from the thirteenth century... Fascinating indeed. It was incredible. But her admiration for the book was replaced with a sudden attention to his hands. Pulling her closer to him, she nestled into his embrace. His deep voice rumbled through her gently as he translated the section he had been reading for her.<br/><br/>""Hm,"" she murmured, resting her head against his shoulder, before turning to look up at him, ""It doesn't translate very well."" She said it with slight amusement, holding the book carefully with both hands. ""It sounds better in Icelandic too,"" she murmured looking back at the book's pages, ""It sounds rather beautiful when you speak it though."" Her leg slide against the silk of his pajama pants and she realized she still had on her tattered clothes. Carefully she handed him the tome and, regrettably, slipped out of his bed. Standing, she stretched a bit before looking over at him. Her ever changing eyes devoured the sight too. Running the tip of her tongue over her lips, she smiled softly.<br/><br/>""Do you mind if I borrow some clothes?"" she gestured down to hers, ""Mine are not so... comfortable."" And she could feel him very well in them either, her rebellious mind added. Then she could twine her arms and limbs around his and savor every inch of his warmth and- Her own thoughts were making her blush and since her entire skin showed off how she felt, it was only a minor grace that he might not know that every color had its own emotion. Because when he did figure it out, it would be very hard to hide such wanton thoughts from him.<hr/>What happened next may have gotten him separated from her for the last two months, whether they got to see each other after that depends on who is telling the story. Suffice to say he grew disillusioned with the school after the reprimands of both the acts of teenagers loves lives as well as other matters. At his fathers insistence, he had gone to ""Johnny Geode"" to beg forgiveness for his actions forcing the earthmover into his new form of living stone. After that he was removed from duty and training with other students for several weeks. Quietly he kept his head down and did what he was told to do for over a month to finally earn his place back in the student body but it was lip service and nothing more. There has been a marked frustration in him he has been expressing if not radiating in his actions up until this convention where the old fashioned Magnus seems to be emerging."

Everyone knew it. She had experienced her second warning considering her promiscuous activities and today she was pushing the boundaries to the utmost. Technically she wasn't doing anything wrong, legally, but the professor did not look fondly on her setting a negative example for those younger than herself. Thankfully he didn't read the minds of his students on a regular basis or she would have been long expelled. That prompted her to don the outfit she was wearing this day. It was almost like sticking up her middle finger at the professor. It was little more than body paint, just long swathes of green flesh accented with thick lines depicting twining their way about her limbs and small leaves glued to her skin. She'd died her hair red with a temporary die and had painted her lips with the most crimson of of lipsticks she could find and had a brilliant scarlet jacket, so tiny, it's very purpose was laughable.<br/><br/>Sarah enjoyed comics and this character,<a href=""http://cdn-images.9cloud.us/14/lusciousnet_poison-ivy-cosplay-1_41291548.jpg"">Poison Ivy</a>, was one of her favorites. The woman was powerful, domineering, unflinching in her confidence and was achingly lovely sort of like Emma Frost. Sarah had considered dressing up as Emma but feared two things. One, she was worried that nobody would recognize Ms. Frost. The X-Men weren't typical heroes after all. Secondly, she feared reprisals. The White Queen didn't have the restraint or the morality of the professor. She might enjoy pushing a few telepathic buttons inside Sarah's head while the Professor wasn't looking. She'd also considered dressing up as Oola, the Twi'lek from Star Wars but this wasn't a Star Wars convention, nor May the Fourth. She'd also already done that in the Danger Room. Her character, Arla in their Star Wars recreation where they helped the core cast throughout the original movies was also a green Twi'lek and had taken Oola's place in order to sneak into Jabba's palace. Like Oola she had been sent down to the Rancor and eaten. Later, her severed lower leg was used by Luke to jam the rancor's mouth open in the pivotal scene to follow.<br/><br/>Slipping sultrily across the red carpeting between booths of the convention, Sarah enjoyed the constant pointing and whispers that followed in her wake. The best part was the totally locked up rigid pose that Sebastian had demonstrated. She would have given anything to see his face behind his annoying fan-boy mask. That boy had real hero idolization problems. Wanting to be a hero, training to be a hero, acting as he thought a hero should. He was just so boring... except, of course, when Sarah teased him, he began blushing scarlet and tried to act nonchalant, as if he had no physical desires. She would have given a lot to see his face when she walked out but he had that damn iron man mask. Sebastian had decided on something she simply didn't understand. He was encased entirely in some plastic armour made to look like Iron Man's, only painted in Captain America's colours and sporting Thor's sizable helmet wings. Wielding a red, white and blue shield in one hand and Mjolnir in the other, Sebastian called himself, the Iron Avenger, an amalgam of the Avengers' three largest heroes. There was nothing sexy about that costume, not in Sarah's opinion which was a shame since Sebastian was slowly developing into quite the athlete. A shame he was thin boned or he might eventually look like the godly figure of Scott Summers. It was also a shame that he was completely devoted to the unattainable uber-bitch Kitty Pryde who pretended he didn't exist. Sebastian, Sarah thought, would make for a fun tumble."

So when he had heard about this convention in New York John was one of the first to take interest - he had always enjoyed computer games and even some anime (mostly Naruto and Death Note) but with his powers and their current state, the only character he could really pull off was<a href=""http://image.naldzgraphics.net/2012/07/13-Thing-Color.jpg"">Thing</a>but if people asked him why he was more brown in colour then orange he could just say it was an original alternative universe version - after all lots of people cosplayed characters like that.<br/><br/>John had used his powers to get to New York (one of the only things he had been able to manage during training was the ability to almost 'swim' through earth) as he was worried that causing a bus to sag under his mass would start odd questions. He had got to the hotel where he was staying (the professor had managed to get John a ground floor level room) in good time and was ready for the convention when it started. After unpacking he had walked out of the hotel in his costume (no clothes on apart from the fantastic four shorts normally worn by Thing [apparantly another of the side affects is John only seemed affected by extreme weathers]) to enter the Convention with the other School mates, all of whom had VIP passes.<br/><br/><b>Jax</b><br/>Things had improved for Jax somewhat, with the friendly and encouraging environment of the school - he was able to learn to get along with others, mutants and non mutants alike.<br/><br/>Taking the opportunity to get out and mingle with some of his house mates and other games enthusiasts (Jax had learned that he really liked video games and movies) he signed up, but with more hesitation then the others. The thing that bothered Jax the most was who would he make his costume on? The only really criteria he had was that it covered/obscured his eyes (being larger then human eyes and insect like) it would cause issues, even at a place where everyone was in costume, and so he took to one of the many computers in the mansion and did a web search for characters who were known for wearing masks which either covered the entire face or at least the eyes.<br/><br/>That was a few days ago, he now stood with the rest of the younger housemates (having been told he was to use public transport) in a very convincing<a href=""http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11/113883/3034466-3882447894-dared.jpg"">DareDevil</a>costume (with mocked up billy club) at the VIP entrance to the convention, hoping to spend some money on either computer games or some powerful cards for his TCG's he liked to play."

<br/>Let's just say, in the old version, anyone with the power to destroy humanity is ""Omega"". This included Ice Man because he could, with time and effort, bring about an ice age. Cyclops is an omega... because he could eventually blow up the world by shooting down at the Earth's core which means generally, ALL energy projectors and telekinetics are Omegas... which makes no sense. Hence... the original... 1990's scale. It was written by one of the comic author's at the time and published in the back of one of the comics... In it he was trying to collect why there were both a number system (Class 3 mutants?) and Greek letters. (Alpha, Omega... etc)Tier 1: Mutant has no combative abilities above human normal.Tier 2: Mutant can be subdued through use of police or standard infantryTier 3: Specialized Forces required to take the mutant downTier 4: Use of full military assets or sentinels to take target downTier 5: Nearly Unstoppable. The Juggernaut or the HulkAlpha Mutants: The most powerful and most feared mutants. Alpha mutants have extremely powerful mutant traits without any significant flaws. Less than 10% of mutants are Alpha mutants so they are very rare. Some of the Alpha mutants include Gambit, Professor X, Colossus, and Emma Frost.

This, of course is impossible. She actually possesses a unique form of Ectoplamic Generation. Normally ectoplasm appears as white smoky tendrils or images. This is the stuff that ghost and spirits use to materialize and affect our world. Like telepathy, ectoplasm is a natural part of all beings and any with proper discipline can use this extension of their souls. Darkshadow's ectoplasm differs from most peoples is that her manifestation is either invisible or entirely black and is mostly opaque. This is what allows her to create darkness, wherever she places her ectoplasm light cannot penetrate. Ectoplasm, however, for no known reason is affected by sunlight which causes it to disintegrate. This is what causes spirits (and possibly vampires ?) to only manifest at night. Sarah's 'plasm is far more powerful and is not as adversely affected by sunlight. Sarah has no actual idea of how this power is based and thinks she merely has control over darkness. No one has ever pointed out to her that solid darkness is contrary to all laws of physics. Ectoplasm has three states, intangible, semi-tangible and solid, what each allows her to do is discussed below.<br/>--Ectoplasmic Darkness in the Intangible State This power allows her to create darkness in a large radius, the amount varies as according to ambient light. On a cloudy night she could cover a city block. At high noon this is limited to a 20' radius sphere. Of course, people and things can pass through the darkness at will. All vision is impossible and most scopes such as starlight and infra-red are completely useless. True thermal vision, the ability to see heat is unaffected as is any means of navigating by sound or radio waves. She can even place the darkness inside a sealed environment due to the 'plasm's intangible abilities. Her ability to make darkness appear at a distance attests to the 'plasm's ability to become invisible, yet this is completely subconcious. She can see in all forms of darkness (save mentally induced). Additionally she can 'feel' someone penetrating her darkness like someone lightly brushing across her hair, this sensation is so slight she often does not notice it. This is due to the fact taht the 'plasm is an extension of her mind.<br/>--Semi Tangible State In it's semi-intangible state, DarkShadow can manipulate the world about her to a small degree. She can use the 'plasm as smoky tendril to lift small objects up to a couple of pounds or drag a 10 pound object across the floor. She can sense things through this darkness much more clearly and can use these to feel things much like her hand does. She can stretch wisps of darkness across a threshold and await them being broken, her senses will tell her that they have been broken and there is trouble afoot. Another thing she often creates are Shadow Monsters, illusions composed entirely of dark ectoplasm. Like a ghost with no soul or controlling force. These things can be any size but no matter what are weak creatures with no mind of their own and controlled entirely by Sarah. Being semi-intangible they are somewhat resilient but have little strength. The damage they are likely to inflict is negligible and limited to nothing more than a serious cat scratch. They are useful to intimidate and drive the enemy. Also, her costume is composed of this form of darkness. It protects her from being pummeled by average people of normal human strength. The main purpose of the suit is to protect her from weapons fire. In this case a bullet willl not penetrate as the force is spread across her body. It will hurt a lot, and if a heavy caliber will likely knock her unconcious leaving large bruises.<br/>--Solid State In this state her 'plasm loses all flexibility. She can create any shape she desires from small roses to large spheres of protection. The structural strength of these spheres can withstand normal weapons fire, but can be layed one over another until she is able to potentially, after a great deal of preparation and on a dark night, to stop a nuclear bomb. (Completely impossible due to the vast amount of light unleashed, see below) Since these shapes have no means of locomotion they have no ability to move any thing, but as a bridge or structural support could lift an amount equal to five tons.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>Quirks:</b></span>Since Darkshadow's ability it ectoplasmic it may or may not provide a disruptive influence on telepathic powers.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>Weaknesses</b></span>: Since ectoplasm is negatively affected by light, all laser or light based attacks can penetrate all her defenses. Powers that vastly increase the amount of ambient light reduce her powers by a like amount. DarkShadow's powers function without concious effort, so that when she creates an object it exhists until she disperses it. This does not hold however while she is unconscious. Without the driving force of her will all her creations dissolve into black steam that quickly disintegrates into the air.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>Background</b></span><br/>Sarah was born in Toronto, Ontario in North York General Hospital. Her loving parents were kind and compassionate and her early memories are filled with stories and fairy tales. She was bred to believe in Fairies and Dragons. Her entire childhood had her dreaming of being Snow White or Sleeping Beauty. She wished to be the helpless fair damsel who was rescued by a handsome prince and live happily ever after. That was the case until the nightmares came, a frightening movie (Well, frightening to one her age) brought out dark fears that manifested in her room. All her stories of Dragons, Trolls and monsters beneath her bed literally became real as her poorly developed shadow powers painted them across the wall. It was after a long time and serious amount of psychological help that she overcame these ' Shadow Monsters ' and developed a mental block inhibiting her inborn gifts. Over the years, her love of fantasy never faded. She read avariciously any book she could attain, always envisioning herself as the lead heroine or hapless damsel. Outside, in the school yard she encouraged the others to join her on her adventurers, and played out her whimsical romantic fantasies. So she continued, the perfect girl, chaste in her conservative clothing. And just a little too innocent...<br/><br/>Late one evening while walking home, Sarah was accosted by muggers who given the circumstances were about to expand the criminal activities to include rape as well. Her total overriding fear shattered her mental block and unloosed her powers once more. The shadows danced about them and the criminals stared about in shock, then one of the shadows struck. A light scratch appeared on the robbers face and he instantly turns to flee. The second was not so easily cowed. Turning upon Sarah with harsh profane words about mutants he made to strike with his knife. The darkness enveloped them both and she extended her open hand towards her assailant. Raw black smoke coalesced about her hand and blasted forth in a hailstorm of jet shards. Flesh was pierced and ripped blood splaying in from a dozen wounds, his chest cavity perforated to the point where his lungs labored unsuccessfully for air. Within moments the assailant was dead, but Sarah in fevered terrified haste had already left the scene. Horrified she denied the event had occurred struggling to forget what she saw as a gift that could only be evil in nature, a power whose sole purpose was in destruction..<br/><br/>It was later in that final year of High School that a new student arrived. This powerful telepath knew everything about her. His delving into others minds had gained him knowledge about Sarah's altercation with her would-be rapists. Having no physical powers of his own, he was intrigued by her powers possible uses to him. He set about bending to her will. He moved slowly over an entire year, constantly monitoring her thoughts. He became close to her, earned her trust through subconscious suggestion. He added to this an emotional response, a flushed shy feeling coupled with arousal. But this was just one aspect to his plan, whenever her thoughts stayed to the subject of boys he made sure that her body overreacted, flushing with arousal.<br/><br/>hen the second part of his plan was put into action. After a few months he plowed into her mind dominating her completely. With her consciousness repressed he used her body to fulfill his own basic needs. Every time he handed her back consciousness and control of her body to find herself in terrible states. First she hound herself in the arms of various boys she did not know. Soon afterwards he made it worse, she found herself stripped near naked atop one of the school cafeteria's tables stripping for the school's boys . This embarrassment alone was a terrible blow to her self image and world view. Each time she turned to her new friend who spoke of repressed desires and wanton lust. He declared victory when she awakened to find herself naked in bed next to another boy. Taking control of the boy he convinced her that they had had sex when they did not. She ran to him and begged him for help where he revealed his mental powers to her and agreed to help. Distraught she did not notice the connection. He explained that there was nothing she could do and that this was the way she truly was. That once she accepted that fact the blackouts would cease. Flooding her with lust she succumbed to his will. He had artfully played her innocent nature, doubts about herself, and fear of her own power against her, and gained an accomplice.<br/><br/>After that it they set their sights on villainy. With Sarah's mentalist master sneaking into the minds of bank personnel they determined the time when the bank was open and a mere steel gate preventing entry. (During busy times they leave the vault open...He didn't want to dominate someone into opening the door because it would reveal his presence) Sarah flooded the branch with darkness and easily strolled into the bank taking an easy million. A super group attempted to stop them as they escaped but of the four heroes DarkShadow took out one and her mentalist companion dominated one to take out the other two who were stunned into shock. The two fled and headed for the American border. Crossing it easily, he came to a stop on the roadside, paralyzed Sarah and evicted her from the vehicle. Tossing her a few thousand dollars for her trouble, the man, unidentified by the police left her to her own devices.<br/><br/>The police later caught up with her but before she could be taken in she was met by Professor Xavier who used his abilities to cause those involved to forget that they had captured her and brought her to the mansion. Together they have been working on repairing the damage the unknown telepath has done to her. Given the amount of time she was in his clutches this is a time consuming process."

He is able to get what he needs from anyone, being able to guess accurately what would need to be said in order to provoke a certain reaction or to gain co-operation from the person he is talking to, but over all society would label him antisocial but over all a nice person, never really using his skills for malicious purposes; as this goes against his ethics of being a pacifist.

What would his parents think? As he opened the door, he was met with two very angry and frightened adults with make shift weapons – the fight was short and brutal, his father leading the charge – and paying the price, his mother sank to the floor and passed out, taking the chance – to flee, but making sure to keep on at the school while trying to survive when schools out.... it was due to this that he came to hate violence and believed that life is better lived walking a more peaceful pathIm guessing this guy would be an omega then? :P<br/>

Immune to most diseases, increased strength, agility, and endurance. Can heal through just about anything, including the Legacy Virus. There are still plenty of ways to kill her...good luck executing them. She has superhuman tracking ability and hyper-senses (Smell, sight, taste, etc.) as a result of the hyper metabolism.<br/><br/>She was born with bone claws, two in each hand and one in each foot. All six claws are coated in adamantium, but her skeleton is not.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>Her personality and sense of self has grown and flourished since finding herself and learning more of choice and, generally just being allowed to grow. She's a lot like Wolverine, sort of cold and distant, but with a warm undertone. She still has trouble empathizing sometimes, but she understands pain and happiness very well and will do her best to help the people around her.<br/><br/><b>Bio:</b>A deep, dark bloodstain represents her past and not all of it is hers. She's killed for The Facility and for the X-Men, for herself and for others. She was used for a weapon by various controllers, even used as a prostitute - she didn't see the difference. Still, the love and support she received from the friends she didn't realize she had had shone through. In little epiphanies, revelations and hard work she found, on the hunt for her soul, that she was much more than just an experiment. That all the pain and anger she'd felt was a symbol of humanity...as well as the restraint and kindness and the will to do right. She learned through pain how precious life is and few people have ever had to experience the pain that she went through; and all that she would go through again to make sure people never had to experience it.<br/><br/>Years later and after much self-discovery, she found a place back at the Mansion. She'd served as an Avenger and as a vigilante for some time. She'd traveled around the world, but found a place working with her adoptive father (and genetic progenitor). Old friends had come and gone, new ones were made. Comfort and openness she never knew existed in her childhood came easily to her, she changed from the shell of a person she thought herself to be, to a comfortable...almost personable (she's definitely still her adoptive father's genetic clone), young woman.<br/><br/>For the last few years at the Mansion X has taken to teaching, picking up where Wolverine left off (or collaborating with) for more combat and survival oriented classes and field exercises."

While his bones may grow, his skin does not stretch with it, and must tear through it in order to use them internally. He has the ability to make bones denser, more durable but bulkier, or create weapons from his skeleton to wield.<br/><br/>-Adoptive Muscle-Memory: Basil, if able to study an action or physical skill often requiring weeks of practice, may near-perfectly replicate the skill almost immediately. Noticing how each muscle and movement happens nearly instantaneously, Basil is able to understand how each action is performed. As long as his body is able to physically handle the action, he can learn skills such as martial arts, swordsmanship, archery, and even simple tricks such as juggling. In addition, Basil is completely ambidextrous and a multi-tasker, able to write in two separate languages simultaneously or engage two enemies at once.<br/><br/>-Peak Human Reflexes: While not a true power, Basil has trained himself to react to situations much quicker than thought possible. This leads him to a near-instantaneous, thoughtless reactive sense that is able to catch flies out of air or catch falling objects easily.<br/><br/>Weaknesses: -Mental Illness: Basil suffers from pre-onset schizophrenia, a result of intense stress throughout his childhood. Basil is somewhat paranoid, constantly uneasy and anxious in any given situation. In addition, he suffers from hallucinations and vertigo, affecting his daily life; while walking, distances may become unrecognizable, making hallways seem endless or traffic move as blurs. Basil constantly hears a single low, monotone whistling noise that he has been unable to grow accustomed to, and shapes may twist before his very eyes.<br/><br/>-Solar-Powered: Basil's bone manipulation is hindered by a lack of vitamin-D, although not fueled by it. He must spend at least 2-3 hours in direct sunlight in order to create strong bone, and will become progressively weaker without it. This process lasts 36 hours, in which his bones progress from iron-durability to paper durability. It is unknown by how much his bones deteriorate, but it is seen that he is strongest 0-2 hours after direct sunlight.<br/><br/>Personality: WIP<br/><br/>History: WIP<br/><br/>I'll hopefully try to finish this tomorrow. I think Basil would be around Delta to Beta level of strength, but please point out anything you disagree with."

I will try to find the article though it is not 100% but it is something they are thinking about. They want to move onto more unknown characters, unknown to the casual crowd anyway as I am sure the casuals won't know who Ant man is or who Black Panthers is either. I am not sure how to feel, comic book wise I don't mind because they come back in some fashion. The movies would have to reboot that series, though there are a few Captain America's if I remember right so maybe that one won't need it. Reboots can be annoying for many reasons."

I hear our current Captain America wants to stop or take a break from acting for a while so death could happen though I prefer if they didn't.

I think Netflix did something else, can't remember what but it went down well. I have not heard about or seen the Defenders in sometime so I think it would be good to see something with them again; mainly because I don't keep up with them, there is way too much to keep up with.

I'll retain some skepticism however. Like horror movies of late, video games have become more and more PG-13 rated. I can only imagine Mad Maxx, which features some seriously adult themes, is going to be similarly hamstringed. Even the Dead Space series has grown more and more into a shooter. The first installment was quite good at scaring you. The third installment... not so much. They were worried people would get bored... so they amped up the attacks so that they were in every bloody corridor. One of the best ways to spook someone is to keep providing opportunity and trick the audience into thinking something is going to jump out only for nothing to happen. Thus, when it truly does happen, you're thinking that it won't.<br/><br/>I'm truly looking forward to the new Alien: Isolation videogame. There is but one alien in the scenario, and Amanda Ripley, daughter of protagonist from the first movie must somehow evade and escape the facility she's trapped upon. One of the best things about the game is that you don't have a weapon and the alien is- unkillable!<br/><br/>I'm a bit surprised how the entire industry has gone ""open world"". Then again, as they've discovered. Once you build a bunch of assets for a world you can make almost any game you could possibly want from those assets."

I liked the alien mechanics but I hated the other two so the human was just like any other human player and the Predator makes it so easy that you can walk by most things when invisible.<br/><br/>Is it just one alien or are there more that you encounter as you move on? If it is one it will remind me of the first movie though as a whole I enjoyed the series up until the AVP thing happened, though it is not apart of alien in my mind, just some stupid fandom crap that made it to the movies. When two franchises get together there is always some one sided thing going on. I feel the alien itself is better then the predator on many levels, with its technology it is pretty much lame. I also think the idea of three predators taking on hordes of aliens until they die or can't take anymore shows who the writers like more. Ripley herself makes the series itself better then the other. On that note I am trying to start an Alien RP but it seems people would rather do a academy RP like 20 other people are doing....... :/ Sigh That idea is going nuts, I don't think I can hold the number of people interested back anymore.<br/><br/>This is why I think a Marvel Vs DC film or game should never happen as one side will be butt hurt. I would be one of the many butt hurt because I favor Marvel more then DC. The two should never met ever or the world will end.

Why anyone would like to sit in a class instead of adventuring or exploring.<br/><br/>The Alien: Isolation game only has the single alien. It hunts you and your crew and all attempts to kill it fail... just like in the movie. All you have is a motion tracker, a flashlight and your wits... and even then, the flashlight is as much your enemy as it is your friend.

I forget which one prevents you from killing anything. I like the horror games where you have to run to survive or where you have something follow you but you can't kill it until the end or at all. I think Fatal Frame is the same but it has been ages since I have played it. I am quite the big aliens fan yet my knowledge on it has become fuzzy.

Since I'm rather really attached my other character, I'm gonna base my new one on him.<br/><br/>Name: Ayame ""Aya"" Denzan<br/><br/>Code Name: Discharge<br/><br/>Age: 23<br/><br/>Gender: Female<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/><br/><img src=""http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr198/damo021/130920-girl_with_blue_hair_2.jpg?t=1399384825""/><br/><br/>Powers: Classed as an Alpha 3 mutant, Aya Denzan possesses electrokinesis, or the ability to generate, manipulate, or become electricity. This can be as arcs, blasts, pulses, waves, beams, balls, etc. Note: Aya's electrical attacks range in power from being flicked to punching fist-sized craters in solid concrete, however the voltage never raises higher than very nasty static shocks (not enough to stun like a tazer, but enough to leave a burn). This is a subconscious block. Without it even she isn't sure what would happen. But she can taze your ass by making skin-to-skin contact, dropping the target like a twitchy sack of potatoes, and in extreme cases can act as a defibrillator. As a side-effect, her relfexes are slightly higher than normal, and she heals faster. Not Wolverine fast, but minor wounds are gone in about an hour and normally fatal injuries tend to just leave scars. Aya can hover by emitting small pulses under her body, but she can't move from that position very much unless she turns into electricity and ""teleports"" (she's just moving very fast) up to 30 feet in a straight line as long as she can see her destination (don't wanna run into a wall). However, she can't change her flight path unless she turns solid first. So semi-flight is possible, but difficult to control. However she CAN travel through things that have a current (like power lines) al a Electro. Also due to her ability of shifting into electricity and back to solid, her mind is in constant flux, giving her some degree of protection against psionic attacks, but not enough to heavily rely on. Just enough to prevent surprise attacks. Lastly, Aya can absorb electricty from outside sources to re-charge her energy reserves.<br/>Weaknesses - Water. Just straight up water. Shorts out her powers and in large quantities (lakes, oceans, rivers) can turn them against herself, possibly even killing her. Oddly enough, however rain is just fine. She sparks a little, but it's nothing lethal or even dangerous. It just tingles a bit. Anything that won't conduct electricity is capable of knocking her out of her electric state.<br/><br/>Personality: Remember that bit about her mind being in constant flux? Yeah, that has a side effect. She's a little... unstable... kinda... cuckoo. Yeah, cuckoo. She's ridiculously shy around strangers, but once she opens up...? She's constantly happy (even when she shouldn't be) and can get hyper-active when she's excited. But with a little provocation she can switch to downright furious. Or even worse. Emotionless. At this point, just run. To find out what she's really feeling, look into her eyes. They always speak the truth. Oh, yeah, she's also a lesbian with a massive crush on X-23.<br/><br/>History: Aya's earliest memories of her past start from when she 15. She woke up in a hospital, and in her panic used her mutant powers to escape through a nearby current, not that she had any clue what the hell was going on. With no clue where she was or even who she was, aside from her name, she ran. Eventually she figured out she was in Columbus, Ohio. Doing whatever was required to survive she wandered the city, quickly finding out she was some kinda monster and that monsters were to be feared. She fled the city, and while hitchhiking on the freeway, she was kidnapped. She was sold off at an auction to some... sleazy men. Forced into making... ""special"" videos, as well as mutant snuff films, Aya quickly learned how to use her powers in vicious ways. Anything to stay alive. But after being forced to kill a fellow... well, slave, really, who happened to be her girlfriend, Aya lost control of her powers and decimated the facility she was trapped in, seemingly killing everyone. She was horrified and ran as far as she could, ending up in New York. When confronted by some muggers, she discovered that her powers were no where near the levels they once were. But her ecstasy didn't last as she was arrested by nearby cops who saw her using her power. But, she didn't have to sit long. Not long after her arrest, a man came to visit her, named Charles. He invited her to come to his school for mutants, where she would be safe and could learn to use her powers for the greater good. At first suspicious, Charles proved he was a mutant as well, and asked her to just try it. She didn't have to stay if she didn't want to. Able to tell he was sincere, Aya agreed, deciding to take a chance. And it was the best decision of her life. Not only did she feel at home for the first time in 7 years, but she received grief consoling from Professor Xavier to help her finally come to terms with all the shit she had been through. And... she met the most GORGEOUS woman she'd ever seen in her life. Not that Aya stood a chance, but hot damn! Laura was beautiful! And strong. And sexy. And the attitude... it's a bit of a turn-on.<br/><br/>Howzat? Anything I need to change? Need more weakness?"

</blockquote><br/><br/>Okay. I eliminated that bit about touching things. She also wears specially designed clothing that won't knock her out of her electric state. Which I'm gonna call her ""Arc Form"" even if it's wrong because electrified state is just weird whereas arc form sounds awesome! Also what does need to be lowered so she can't kill. I looked around and got a lot of ""it depends on the person and circumstance"" stuff. But seeing as this is an RP with superheroes, I figure a little suspension of disbelief is required. But I want to at least be scientifically accurate."

Electricity is always drawn towards negatively charged objects, most often of which is the ground. Unless carried by a gas, a tether or a laser beam electricity always turns towards the ground or large chunks of metal.<br/><br/>Then again, Superman and other bricks can't lift half of the things they do. You can't lift a building or a supertanker. They'd collapse under their own weight! Thus, all bricks must be telekinetic? A good example is hulk trying to stop a train with his bare hands. The limiting factor is the friction caused by the surface area of his feet on the ground. I did the math years ago (and I'm ashamed I can't do it anymore) and it was several kilometers. Needless to say, here's hoping the bridge isn't out."

But even if you supposedly only have the one ability, if you're going to actually use it for anything, Fridge Logic demands that you have myriad other passive powers in order to make it work the way it usually does. This is sometimes directly referred to and explained, and sometimes not.<br/>Related to Fan Wank, this encompasses all of the powers that aren't explicitly stated that would make a power function like it does in the work in question. Often, these powers would be useless outside of allowing the main power to work, but some could have use beyond that.<br/>This only covers if the power in question is not explicitly defined. While Cyclops from the X-Men doesn't hurt his own eyelids with his Eye Beams every time he shuts his eyes, this is defined as an explicit ability of his (and his brother).<br/>All these tropes are especially good targets for subversion or aversion, because the absence or malfunction of a superhero's Required Secondary Powers creates a dramatically useful limit on their primary powers. A slight lack of these may oftentimes cause a Logical Weakness. Compare Lethal Harmless Powers. Also, many accusations of Misapplied Phlebotinum rely on the assumption that the characters or factions in question have the RSPs needed to pull out all the theoretical potential.<br/>Warning: Exploration of this Trope may result in brain breakage. But you probably have something to counter that, right?""<br/><br/>And<br/><br/>""Implicitly acknowledged with the Marvel Comics ""Decimation"" arc, where several mutants keep their primary powers but lose the secondaries. Mutants with fire abilities are no longer immune to their own flames and incinerate themselves, a dragon-like mutant falls out of the sky because his mass can't stay airborne under normal physics even with the wings, a fishlike mutant drowns because his gills can't extract enough oxygen from the water to support a human body, and so forth.""<br/><br/>And<br/><br/>""The Flash's powers are an all inclusive package called the Speed Force but parts of it come and go for the purposes of a given story. For example, his seeming ability to slow down his required super-perception has been pointed out a few times. In the Justice League episode ""Only a Dream"", for instance, the villain Doctor Destiny tormented superheroes with various nightmares; the Flash dreamt that he was unable to slow down, and perceived everything around him as motionless. The idea of a Flash unable to slow down his perception was also eloquently expanded upon by Jim's Big Ego in this song.<br/>Alternate Company Equivalent Quicksilver explicitly doesn't have this: while he can slow down his perception as he speeds up, his default is still faster than human normal. It's described as the reason that he's so cranky: everyone else is moving at a snail's pace.<br/>Flash doesn't always have this ability. In one comic he spent a subjective week watching a movie with his wife.<br/>This would be really painful, given that persistence of vision wouldn't work, and so you wouldn't even be able to perceive the motion in the movie properly. It would be like watching a slideshow of someone's vacation pictures.<br/>Or rather like watching a procession of phosphorous dots or pixels cover the screen one at a time, possibly building up to a coherent picture at the end. For every single frame of the movie.<br/>At least one comic has explained this as being subconscious. When he is bored he tends to zone out and activate his speed without meaning to. This means that a conversation with his father in law, or a trip to the opera, can take forever.""<br/><br/>So basically, Aya's elecricty would go were she tells it to, or it at least loses it's attraction to other materials. So come on. Give me a break here?"

On his chest is tattooed an Egyptian cartouche that reads ""He will serve the end of the world for a year and a day"" On his right hand he has L O K I on his first knuckles.<br/><img src=""http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/demetriknighthawk/Magnus_zps052e8f81.png""/><br/>Taught never to rely on any one thing, he keeps a number of tools on hand at all times.<br/><a href=""http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/c/true_swords_ninja_tanto_package_540.jpg"">Tanto</a>Located on his left pectoral with a kevlar mesh sheath as an extra measure of defense from heart-shots.<br/><a href=""http://ninjaninja.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/f/m/fmt-011ba.jpg"">Ninjato</a>Kept on left hip.<br/>Grenades: Never keeping more than two on him at any time in uniform after hearing the story of his grandfather pulling the pins of a dozen soldiers at once. Chaff-nonmagnetic metal flakes meant to scramble electronic measures, Knocker-compressed microfine Metal powder used to blow open door with high kinetic output or stun multiple organic opponents<br/><a href=""https://youtu.be/vVngZM_MU4M"">throwing irons</a>As designed, but his are hollow and fluted with multiple tiny holes to ensure a sucking wound to let an opponent bleed out if organic or hydraulic if he can land the right shot. Kept on his person on a thigh holster even out of uniform.<br/>Sling: Simple kevlar thong used to hurl a simple fiberglass sphere with enough force to break bone, When he slips a thread through the ring of a grenade, it becomes a twofold weapon to launch the five pound weapon to impact before exploding. This he also keeps on a pocket with a hard rubber ball in civilian attire.<br/><a href=""http://www.blackarmor.com/index.php?category=casual-jackets-body-armor&amp;p=47"">Uniform</a>: A class A-III fabric armor in the make of denim jacket and pants with impact plastics Velcro atop. Can withstand up to .357 at point blank with only broken bones.<br/><br/><b>Powers:</b><br/>Physical mutation: His physiology is unique in several different ways. His bone structure allows him great flexibility. His spine is more flexible than an ordinary human, enabling him to remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist-type feats without causing any damage to his spine. Bamf's balance and bodily coordination are all enhanced to superhuman levels. He also possesses superhuman dexterity, being able to manipulate items and fence with either hand and his tail. He lacks his fathers prehensile feet but does have five fingers and toes that let him pass for human easier. He has a prehensile tail, allowing him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight, but also lift an adult man completely off the ground at the same time, and is deft enough to fight with while holding a sword or blunt object. His eyes (which are constantly washed in black) grant him a marked degree of heightened night vision.<br/><br/>Wall crawling: Where his father could blend into the shadows by warping light, he can stick to shadows by an instinctive connection to the home dimension of his father and grandfather. This allows him to fight in a third dimension most others lack but also means he can not cling to an activated ceiling light for example beyond his physical strength.<br/>SKILLS<br/>Trained in the formal art of Ninjutsu by psylocke, he puts his mutant physiology to best use as an infiltrator. He has been taught how to consciously filter out the lightest levels of psychic invasion.<br/><br/>Magic(k): While a weak skill now, it is to note he keeps a store of occult books and the like, some real, some just to piss his dad off. His superhuman dexterity makes the sleight of hand as easy as breathing but he does also practice a few practical incantations like sewing glyphs into all of his clothes so they will put themselves away.<br/><b>Personality:</b><br/>For the most part he is happy go lucky to hide his pain of loosing all the life he had ever known. He has always had a fascination with sleight of hand and stage magic, On quiet nights he loves to curl up with horrible kung-fu movies and a plate of sushi to pass the time away whenever a girl isn't available. Even being the prodigal son of two great mutants and the grandson of even greater mutants he is still a physical mutant, he can never pass in normal society. As such he has a deep seeded hate for 'pretty' mutants who can pass by unseen and will bend over backwards, literally, for those who cant hide themselves. Where his father was a devout Catholic, Magnus has always carried a despise for the church's position on mutants to the point he is a vocal follower of Loki, a 'real god' of Asgard that has put many a hero of earth on their heels.<br/><b>History:</b><br/>In another time and another place the mutants lost at Alcatraz. It became a campaign of slaughter on a planet wide level, In that reality, Kurt wagner and wanda maximoff had a child who was born in bloodshed and forced to fight from the time of a child, in time it became evident that they wouldn't survive so they went to the oldest and most powerful enemy they knew, Apocalypse. They agreed to become his newest horsemen if he got their son to safety, The first mutant agreed and sent the teenager to a reality whose other Aubin-sur matched his own temperament and psychic harmonics. The new Apocalypse understood what had been done with a simple letter tattooed int the boys chest, and handed the boy over to Xaviers school anonymously. This Xavier knew the boys past and did all he could to try and help heal a lifetime of war, but healing can't be done if it is unwanted. For years he studied at the academy and learned his lessons to master his powers so they didn't master him but there was too much ill will in his heart to be a member of the x-men<br/><br/>Note: Magnus has a fear of heights/falling from a failed attempt to teleport that broke his spine, resulting in two of his bones to have to be fused to let him walk again."

It worked,some what a few things were enhanced and a few were weakened a little.Then impregnated a girl with this DNA. The woman was killed during the birth of Alex. He was found six years later in the same cave that the lunatic birthed him. He had killed the scientist. And was surviving by eating insects and small animals.<br/><br/>The computers and other lab equipment taught him basic things a toddler should learn how to talk and write. He was carted off to an Orphanage. When they discovered him huddled in a corner with a web nest around him, they sent him to a few labs, then he was put into the mutant school. And here he is."

Besides us already having a plethora of characters with really rough pasts and high body-counts, it seems like he'd be more for the Avengers Academy or, at best, an assassin for SHIELD if he didn't reform the whole ""murdering"" thing. At the moment, personally, I think he'd be a threat to the student body. Which is weird to say, since I'm RPing as X-23, but I don't know, man. Maybe try and re-work it a bit and we'll come back to it?<br/><br/>My word isn't the final say in much of anything, by the way. Just calling it like I see it."

This effectively means ""mutant"" is something of a requirement. If he were simply naturally born instead of the result of lab experiments that would be fine. For a bit of a change, to get away from the similarities between him and spiderman ne could go with psychic webs or something.<br/><br/>On another note, finally got a chance to see the Captain today. It is quite the excellent movie. I highly advise everyone to see it. It's made me quite excited to see the next few episodes of Agents. Once again, Marvel is the master of the stinger.

Her powers are stronger related to her exposure to starlight. It is possible this is absorption of some sort of cosmic energy.<br/><br/>~Bio-luminescent: In her natural state, Asha's skin and hair are luminescent with a shimmering, rainbow-colored light of solar radiation. She is unable to control this vibrant appearance, and hides beneath black layers of clothing. With practice, Asha can be able to appear human.<br/><br/>~Light Energy Blasts: She can project the solar energy in a beam of variable intensity and diameter, from a wide concussive blast to a thin laser-like cutting beam, but this is currently uncontrolled and occurs often when she is under intense emotion.<br/><br/>~Force Fields: currently also uncontrolled and occurs under intense instinct to protect either herself or someone else. Unpredictable.<br/>~Heat Manipulation: Asha can both withstand extremely high temperatures and emit warmth.<br/><br/>~Flight: Asha is able to propel herself into the air leaving a rainbow-like trail behind. The upper limits of her speed have yet to be determined. She is also able to carry others while flying. This is the only power she seems to be able to currently control. Unless she has a nightmare. Then she starts floating.<br/><br/>~Enhanced Strength: Asha also appears to be stronger than an average human.<br/><br/>Weakness:<br/>Star Solar Energy Dependent: Excessive use of her powers drain her stored solar energy reserves. At night time, the depletion is negligible given that she is constantly replacing the used energy. During the day, it is possible for her to completely use up her stored energy and not have access to any special abilities until she is again exposed to starlight.<br/><br/>Personality: A rather skittish person, due to emotional and sometimes physical abuse from her family, it can be a bit hard for her to trust others. However she tends to be rather passive about most things, avoiding any situation she might lose control of. She only fights for what she thinks is good and right, never wanting to seek out conflict. Unfortunately though she does have an anger problem, from suppressing such feelings towards her family. Asha is a kind person though, she is just troubled with the burden of her mutation and how it alienated her from others.<br/><br/>History:<br/>Asha came from a regular middle class family with three older sisters and two younger brothers. Her mother was a pastor and her father was a lawyer. She was a standard teenage. At first.<br/><br/>When she turned eighteen however, one night she started changing. The starlight seemed to absorb into her skin and hair. Asha started glowing like a rave light and as she started to panic she started to float up till her back was pressed against the ceiling.<br/><br/>Her mother came to see why she screaming, and when she looked up she saw a bright alien creature with her daughter’s face. Her father came to her room too, but his face held no awe. It held disgust. His daughter was a mutation. Abomination. A monster.<br/><br/>So he had he dress in heavy dark clothes, pulling her out of school and trying to keep her up in her room and away from light as possible. And the more he kept her from the star, the more sickly she got. She couldn’t turn off the lights under her skin, so it was starving her body of energy, getting fuel from anything it could to keep the lights going.<br/><br/>Asha flickered on and off for many months. The disgust from her father who kept her from the others as if she were diseased... And how he’d hiss at her and treat her like a mangy dog form the streets... It was more than she could bear.<br/><br/>When Asha thought of death, it would be replaced with stars. Sickly and miserable, her mother took her out of her room one day. She seemed nervous. Where was her father? He was always her handler. But her mother had her pack two suitcases of her favorite things and dragged her to the car.<br/><br/>Just being out in the night air gave Asha strength. Looking up at the stars, she felt healthy again. The stars’ light and energy flowed into her. Asha began to glow with the energy of a million of fairytale lights. She stared up at the sky the entire time her mother drove, entranced by the night sky.<br/><br/>“Oh my starry eyed daughter,” her mother’s voice broke the spell, “I’m so sorry... This place...

Although Skittles might qualify as OP because while her powers are low.... she has seven personalities, each with a different attribute to the power. Like Violette is very serious and has piercing beams, while Rouge is lustful and has fire beams. Bleue has debilitating beams and is sad, but Jaune has electric beams and is happy!

In theory, she could destroy pretty much anything in a lush enough environment, trap opponents in roots and grasses, but because of her uselessness in most urban environments, she typically does not participate actively as a member of the X-Men.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>She is light, air-y and kind. Often lost in thought she can sometimes appear very aloof, but this is most certainly not the case. She loves to talk to people, to laugh and have fun. That isn't to say she doesn't get serious, but typically she'll have a joke or some whimsical observation to interject and diffuse any situation in danger of becoming serious.<br/><br/><b>Bio:</b>Appolina grew up in El Dorado Hills, CA to a loving, well-off family. Both of her parents were successful in their respective fields and provided a very lofty life, often giving her the freedom to explore the fields and forests in the area around her. Still, her parents would be away for long periods at a time on business, but that just meant she could spend more time in the woodlands, reading, singing, dancing, whatever struck her fancy for the moment. Life was utterly painless and impressed an optimism upon her that would never cease.<br/><br/>When her powers manifested, all she could hear were barely audible whispers calling to her from the forest. It made no sense, she felt as though her mind was betraying her. Of course, this 'betrayal' lasted until a sunflower sang to her. A rose called her pretty, a dandelion giggled incessantly with her and a thistle asked for a kiss. The whisper only seemed to grow, though, calling her into the forest once more.<br/><br/>After being approached by the Professor with an offer for a particularly special school, her parents supported the decision, knowing full and well who this man was and what that meant for their daughter. ""We'd always wondered why the roses never died,"" her father had joked, ruffling her thick hair about - she would later tattoo the phrase across her collarbone, much to their chagrin. They supported the decision to go to Xavier's school one-hundred percent, out of love for opportunity, their daughter, and a fear of what might happen if someone else discovered she was a mutant first.<br/><br/>And so she lives at the mansion, working on a botany degree with specialized courses and caring for those around her, plants and students alike."

See, I like Skittles (and really want to use that code name), but I like the idea of T.E.A.C.S.U.n. 5 (that stands for Tactical Espionage Armored Cybernetic Stealth Unit number 5) Her code name is Tea C. Sun the V (seeing as she is under the impression Teacsun 5 is her real name). Her original mutant powers were of technopathy and technokinesis. As well as a thing I call Data Resolution (it's wrong but is sounds cool). Basically she could talk to computers and control technology. DR lets her manifest data into the real world (with restrictions. They don't last long as they have no physical anchor to this world). She was captured and put into the same program as Aya was. However during Aya's escape, she was fatally injured and died, but was brought back to life by the surviving scientists as a cyborg to hunt down and kill Aya. But her powers have been GREATLY diminished. All she can control now is a little adamantium microchip in her brain that contains the data for her armor and weapons. She can DR them to assist on missions, but just what's in the chip. Her arms are both cybernetic as is her whole rib cage and her heart and lungs. She also has various cybernetic upgrades allowing her strength equal to twice that of an average human her size. The proffesor managed to subdue her and Forge helped him break through her programming. Now she's a student at the school, and has offered to handle the tougher jobs that the X-Men can't associate with (X-Force style).<br/><br/>I don't know. Which is more interesting. A woman with seven personalities who can fire beams out of any high cluster of nerves on her body... or a woman who was killed, brought back as a cyborg assassin, and can manifest armor and weaponry from an indestructible chip in her brain? Or maybe I should be a man? I have a man who is an anthropomorphic white tiger who is a good at kung-fu and has a sonic roar. Urgh! Now that I can use another character, I don't know who!"

It was during one particularly brutal fight were four of the older kids had started to pick on him and beat him up his eyes turned and his strength shot up, allowing him to overpower the bullies, breaking four arms, five ribs two legs and a cracked skull - he was thrown out of the school, his parents recieved the call from the school and tried to beat him up for causing them such trouble which did not end well for Jax's parents, he called 911 and then ran, leaving the house with just a pair of shades and his favorite trench coat which his grandparents had gotten him shortly before they both passed.<br/><br/>The nights on the street were hard and painful, mixed dreams of pain, a calming voice calling to him - it had been a hard month, stealing to eat, hiding to survive, and with four points of constant pain on his back, life was not easy. Three weeks in and the pain in his back had gone but Jax could feel something more...different, having managed to adjust to his new physical power he broke in to a clothing store for a new set of clothes (but still keeping his trench coat) and this was the first time he saw - them, his new limbs, four powerful looking wings, this gave Jax options, while his dreams/nightmares were still full of pain, there was still the voice, calming and calling.<br/><br/>More time passed in solitude as Jax practiced using his wings and staying air born for long periods of time, for as time passed, something was easing the pain and images began to fill his mind about a safe haven for him, it showed him beautiful buildings - other kids around his age playing, learning and training together, but his own instincts at hows his life had panned out so far kicked in and were trying to block these foreign images but failing - coming to the conclusion he could leave this place if he wanted to he set out, flying by night, resting and recharging by day he was making his way - following the voice...<br/><br/>That okay, not much on personality as there is not much to say lol<br/><br/>Might give him a sword or bo-staff to use?"

Sun the V, on mission: Armory<br/>-Age: 18<br/>-Gender: Female<br/>-Appearance:For Tea (That's TEY-ah by the way. I just can't find the ' to put over the e) herself, she looks like this:<br/><img src=""https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mhQAVBs2dNs/TEq75vxcS_I/AAAAAAAAARI/db_SI1eAi2E/s320/blonde-hairstyles2.jpg""/><br/>Her armor looks like this minus the helmet (but obviously adjusted for a female frame), and the back is covered with plates that can... essentially fold out into wings, but I'll explain that later:<br/><img src=""https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MnEu_xSxUD0/TMh5EgvHOgI/AAAAAAAAACo/xwdhlejM4X4/s1600/Cyborg_ninja-lados_3_views.jpg""/><br/>For her helmet? This:<br/>[img]<a href=""http://s225.photobucket.com/user/ludoz/media/casconero.jpg.html""><img src=""http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd158/ludoz/casconero.jpg""/></a>[/img]<br/>While her entire right arm, left forearm, and both forelegs are fully cybernetic, the last layer of metal is colored to resemble her skin, but is slightly lighter.<br/>-Powers: Tea used to be a very strong technokinetic with technopathic ability as well, however, those day have since passed. Her technopathy has been reduced to merely hearing whispers in machines, and her technokinesis is limited to strictly what's in her body, specifically the adamantium micro chip in her brain. Using a combo of both technopathy and technokinesis, she can take the data stored on the chip and forcibly materialize it in the real world. This is called Data Resolution. However, this is only temporary as the objects true form is data and thus has no real anchor in this world. After one minute the data will derezz (yeah, I stole that from Tron. It sounds cool) back into data and enter a ""cooldown"" period of about one hour. The only exception to this rule is her armor and the weapons it contains. This is because it was reverse rezzed. Basically, her armor IS real, and was merely turned into data and stored on the chip. Thus, it can exist in the real world forever, but can only be held on the chip for exactly 24 hours at a time. The back of the armor also has plates that fold out into a wing shape and while she does have six jets under them (two main, the rest for maneuvering), as well as a brake jet in her torso, flight is impossible. Due to her weight, the energy output required would drain her generator (her heart) ridiculously fast. However she can glide, and use the jets to assist in a high jump or to shift direction in the middle of a jump.<br/><br/>Her armor's weaponry includes:<br/>Twin pistols: Stored in and attached to, her gauntlets (all ammo is data)<br/>Twin collapsable mini SMGs: Stored in her thigh guards (all ammo is data)<br/>Collapsible Bow: Stored in her left gauntlet, opposite her pistol (to use, she has to turn the gauntlet to line the bow with her hand. Arrows are data)<br/>Cybernetic right arm also contains an experimental high-output energy projectile device. However, this is dangerous to use because risk of overheating could result in permanent damage to arm systems. Usage recommended only as last resort.<br/><br/>Data Weaponry includes:<br/>Ammo for pistols (as magazines) - 20 total<br/>Ammo for SMGs (as magazines) - 30 total<br/>Arrows for Bow (individual) - 10<br/>Twin katanas (because katanas are just better)<br/><br/>And that's it. But if the lock on her microchip was removed somehow, more data could be added or removed.<br/><br/>WARNING - WARNING - Armor shock-absorbing systems and anti-electrical systems are malfunctioning. Too much damage can cause system to fail and allow heavy impacts and/or high voltage shocks to knock some systems offline. Please exercise caution when facing dangerous opponents such as mutants. Stealth kills recommended...<br/><br/>-Personality: Almost non existent due to programing blocks. If these were somehow removed, Tea's true friendly, kind, noble personality would show through. But removing these blocks would also require complete erasure of memory.<br/>-History: Mutant Number 24242012 was one of many captives held in a secret facility deep in the forest. Kidnapped at the age of 15, she was forced to compete in bloody competitions against other mutants. At a strict disadvantage due to the nature of her powers, she was forced to team up with others to survive. One girl, Mutant Number 25962007, took to her like a sister. They were best friends, but knew better than to flaunt it. However, 25962007 eventually fell in love and 24242012 began to feel left out. So she trained hard to keep up with her sister and her girlfriend, requesting from her machine friends (that had been given to her to fight with) donations. Soon she had built a beautiful suit of armor to use. Requesting extra fights to break it in, she was so happy as she could finally stand on her own. She wanted to show her sister, but before she could. She was called away to Site B. Apparently they wanted to test some new mutants and she was chosen. She did her duty for a year and finally got to return home. But... 24242012 had no inkling of what was to come. She had just returned when suddenly, there was a bright flash, a rush of wind, and an unbearable heat. Instinctively she began to put on her suit, but before she could, the van she was in was flung into the air, tumbling head over side. After what seemed an eternity it stopped, and she crawled from the wreckage. She could tell her legs were broken. Looking into the front cab, she could see her handlers, bones jutting every which way, bodies contorting unnaturally. Looking over at what hit them, she was stunned to see Site A gone. There was nothing there anymore but debris and a rising mushroom cloud. Trying to get over there as fast as possible (she couldn't be dead... she couldn't be dead!), she never got more than two feet before the van's ruptured gas tank detonated... and Mutant Number 24242012 knew no more...<br/><br/>(If this is good my first post with her will be post-operation and resurrection. By the way, I know she's a lot over-powered, but that warning is there for a reason. She's going to lose a lot of her abilities in her fight with Aya and anyone else who wants to join. And who knows. MAybe one day down the line she'll be repaired, maybe even upgraded)"

Well... her daughter went through a... similar ordeal... You know, forced by mom to seduce a famous star so her mom could get his money, fall in love with him, get pregnant, abandoned by the star, goes to talk, finds him in bed with another woman, mom says kill him, she can't (idiot love), gets arrested, thrown in prison, gives birth, baby is stolen, given to a cult that worships the Dark One, she grows up, finds out she's a mermaid (somehow), but has a dark, berserk mutation, the sea witch (somehow actually existing) seduces her with revenge, she can't kill her evil step parents, sea witch does it instead, contract fulfilled, new mermaid is forced into serving the witch, later they end up helping to release a demon from the sun... it's complicated.

Kind because he doesn't have the room in his heart or his head to hold a grudge. Trusting and obedient to a fault from years of having to be told what to do. He is undeniably a team player, just don't ask him to lead.<br/><b>History:</b><br/>Born and raised in a Texas cattle ranch, all in all he's lucky to be alive. When he was a baby he got a nasty sting that left him with a fever on the hottest day of summer with the well pump broke and living too far for a hospital to be of any help. If it wasn't for his Medicine man grandfather and his feverfew, the boys story would end there. He survived but the fever baked his brain a little leaving him a kick simpler than most.<br/>All in all he lived a good life, growing up good and strong like a farm boy will with Scottish on one side and Cherokee on the other. He went to school on the reservation from preschool to junior-high until high-school where he ended up going to Sam Houston High School. A kid as big as him got snatched up for Football faster than a rattlesnake snapping a rat and he was good for it. Too good for it.<br/><br/>He was most improved in the freshman year, Most valuable for sophmore, and he was the first ever of his school to get college offers before some seniors. With lots of people knocking on his door, he had to make a decision based on what was good for his family as well as him, He managed to land a deal with University of texas with an unusual signing bonus: A big ass truck and free gasoline until he graduates.<br/><br/>It wasn't until the Final game of his senior year that his powers manifested, He was tight end and doing fine when the person he was blocking slipped and fell into the ground, suddenly he was taking off down the field faster than he ever had before. he was wide open to catch the ball but the Qb didnt see him, yet the ball turned in mid air to come right to his hands like a magnet. Sadly so did half a dozen other players. The best anyone could come up with was a sudden tonado class wind must have blown the ball and half a ton of students into him. He Had made the touchdown and won the game, sadly the tackle of so many people shattered his femur. He was never going to play college or pro ball ever.<br/><br/>Thankfully this wasn't the end. Apparently there was a single private school in weschester who was still quite interested in signing him up for their college football team, they even let him keep the truck! Too bad he had to move all the way to the east coast for it."

A name and a couple of sentences concerning powers and some factoids should be sufficient for secondary characters that are not likely to venture forth on missions.<br/><br/>I'm also pretty sure I'm not fond of the third person omniscient format for non-protagonists. I think I would prefer the third person limited format with the subject being our protagonists.

<br/>I'm also pretty sure I'm not fond of the third person omniscient format for non-protagonists. I think I would prefer the third person limited format with the subject being our protagonists.

Third person limited is recently very popular and is exemplarized by Game Of Thrones and Wheel of Time.<br/><br/>For example, my statement that Sarah didn't know about Pollock wouldn't be valid in third person limited. There's no way that Sarah could know that she didn't know something.<br/><br/>Thus, we could see and interact with secondary characters but not know their thoughts. I have to give this some thought because I'm not sure if it's even possible."

I made a mistake. When I think of creating a second character, I treat them the same as my first character. When I think of secondary characters, I think of (for example in this RP) Wolverine and Prof. X. Yes, they are controlled by someone (the GM) but they don't have a CS and they may be crucial to the plot, but they only occasionally show up. Then they go away. Then maybe show up again. I wasn't thinking. So I will just scrub Tea completely and instead use Leon (my Tiger-man). Tea's too integrated into Aya's past, but Leon has no such attachments and is easier to use as a secondary character."

Luckily, the Prof. was able to wipe the incident from everyone's minds, except Leon's as punishment.<br/>Powers: Leon possesses the ability to perform what he calls ""The Sonic Roar"". Basically an hyper enhanced version of the fear-inducing attribute big cats' roars have anyways, Leon's is strong enough to destroy a solid wall. Luckily, he has a decent enough level of control over it to not wreck everything when he speaks. But beyond that, he can't control it's strength. He only uses it if he's damn sure it's necessary. Other than that... well, Leon is a tiger... everything else is related to that. He's agile, flexible, stealthy, has enhanced senses, claws, fangs, about 2x the strength of a normal human, and a highly dextrous tail. He does have cat weaknesses too. He LOVES to be petted, shiny objects distract him easily, he likes to chase things (and hunt things), and yes... he will fall for the laser pointer trick... Every. Single. Time.<br/>Personality: Leon is a guy who loves to have fun. He's always running around, looking to for something to do with anyone. He's really easy to be friends with. He's also noble to a fault. Unfortunately, he's also highly competitive and hates to lose. Plus he can be very, very territorial. Most of the time he can keep it within reason, but really... don't take his things or argue with him when he says something is his. On top of that, he loves to flirt with and tease the ladies of the mansion, no matter if they are single, taken, shy, outgoing, pink, blue, green, fluffy, fat, skinny, he doesn't care. ""A kitty's a kitty"" (I'm sure you can figure out what the pun is. And it's actually ironic. He has no idea that a certain word can be used to describe a cat AND lady parts. He's actually talking about himself being friendly).<br/>History: Lee was born to a Chinese mother and American father in a small town in Ohio. His only physical mutation at birth was his tail, but his parents loved him anyways. Because he was bullied growing up, his mother taught him how to defend himself, but only if necessary. As he grew, though, he began to develop more tiger-like traits. By the time he was 12, Leon was an adorable little tiger-boy. But this only made it harder to hide being a mutant and the stress made it hard to contain his more cat-like nature. One day, he ending up biting a kid who picked on him, sending the kid to the hospital. Leon was so ashamed he ran away. Unfortunately, that night, the boy's father found him and started wailing on him. Scared for his life, Leon remembered something he saw in a documentary on Tigers and roared at the man, trying to scare him away. He ended up both deafening the man, and shattered his glasses, blinding him in one eye. The scream led his parents right to him, and horrified, they knew Leon couldn't stay. So they sent him away to live with relatives up in New York. While there, Leon refused to speak, scared he might kill someone, and spent the next eights years as a mute. Desperate to help him, his aunt and uncle finally managed to convince his parents to talk to a man well known for helping mutants. Next thing he knew, Leon was standing at the gates of the X-Mansion. Here he felt accepted and free. He even began to speak again, learning how to control his ""Sonic Roar"", and getting back to how he used to be. Fun."

She is quite unpredictable and also very careless. Jest is very disruptive as she always has to show something she can do, namely a joke or something she just learned. If she does not get to show or pull something off she gets quiet moody, she is hard wired this way. If one were to remove her mask she would become rather aggressive though she would find something to cover herself first until her mask was recovered, this shows some insecurities.<br/><br/>I think she would be a great side character and if it were another X-Men RP a great main one."

I don't think he fits in with what the X-men are about or the premise of the RP.

</blockquote><br/><br/>Ah, so that's what you mean. Now that I see it in action though, I have to say I'm not a big fan of using that for secondary characters only because it makes them feel like NPCs. Kinda like, ""Why should I care at all about this character"". And there's no way to really tell them apart from NPCs like that. But that's just how I feel, you can use it all you want."

Think about your statement empirically. How do you have any friends without some sort of telepathy? *lol* I am, of course, teasing here.<br/><br/>I rather think of secondary characters as NPCs but that doesn't mean they don't have personality or flair. When you read a novel you don't know the thoughts and motivations of every person walking down the sidewalk near the protagonists. What it should do is encourage protagonists to explore who these people are. You have to learn about who they are and what they're doing the old fashioned way, by interacting with them via your protagonists, asking them questions and watching their body language. It also encourages a person to write the secondary character in a manner they not be used to, trying to inform the audience what a person is thinking without explicitly stating such through narrative voice.<br/><br/>This reminds me of a PBEM I tried to run a long while ago. In an effort to expand the writing ability of my player I told them I didn't want a character sheet. I wanted a sequence of documents and pictures concerning their characters with the limitation of only one diary entry. I'd accept school report cards, newspaper articles, the afore mentioned diary entry, letters written from one relative to another concerning the character, arrest reports... just little snippets that allowed someone reading them to slowly piece together an idea of who the person was... but still leave plenty of room for surprises.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, they were tabletop RPG types... they just weren't artistic. Just under half of them embraced the idea.... the others just gave up before they began."

Empathy seems to be my specialty.<br/><br/>Anyways...<br/><br/>The thing is, you as the writer know EXACTLY what these secondaries are thinking. So writing them as if you don't is impossible. And can also lead to a horrible case of talking to yourself when your characters need to interact when you're not careful. But that's the thing. I think of any character (given emphasis via CS) being controlled not as primaries or secondaries, but as a main character. The idea of primary and secondary was only introduced to me after you made mention of the third person narrative. Normally, I would try to give them equal time, but here I can't. Aya's my main, Leon is my secondary. Which brings up another point. What are the secondaries gonna do when the mains are gone? If they are used as you like, it's no biggie. They can vanish and it's not important at all. Only if a main is nearby will they even be mentioned. We have no clue what Sebastian is doing or where he is unless it's mentioned in a previous or future post. Until a main talks to him, he's completely irrelevant. But when you treat them like I like, you have a problem. There is always something they can do, but it has to be detailed. Plus they now have the job of handling any third person characters. Like in a novel, how there may be three main characters. The third person ones interact with them and that's all we see of them. Ever. But if the narration switches to characters besides those three. You get a temporary main. Someone who takes over the role of first person so the third person characters can have someone to interact with. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like a good idea to have a third person as one of your personal characters, but what the hell do I know? This is the first time it's ever come up in my 5-6 years of RPing.<br/><br/>And by the way, if it seems like this was weird, I was literally writing my points as they came to me."

Sarina prefers to wear her hair freely but may at times decide to tie it up into a ponytail especially when in the danger room if she get out in the field. She has medium size nose, hands, and ears. She also has thin eyebrows, Dark crimson red eyes which once were brown and delicate average size lips. She has a toned olive skin colour with no tattoos or piercings with size 8 feet.<br/><br/><b>Powers:</b>Sarina has the ability to control the kinetic energy of atoms to generate, control/manipulate fire Allowing her to excite or speed up an object's atoms, increasing their thermal energy until they ignite, not necessarily objects, but also air particles, She can control and move the flames along with fireproof skin and thermal resistance something that is a life saver. This allows Sarina to illuminate a dark areas, Fire Ball Projection which is the ability to create and manipulate fireballs in her hands and throw them, Fire Stream Projection is Something Sarina has come to learn in training enabling her to generate or create flame thrower-like blasts of flames. They can burn things with intense engulfing flames but sadly Sarina has not learned to control the size and radius of her blasts. Fire Breath is the ability to manipulate the fire in her lungs and exhaling it in the form of non other than fire. Fortunately Sarina has thermal resistance in her throat and mouth which is something she has not yet discovered because at the moment she can only use her hands.<br/><br/>Sarina may be able to understand and control her gift enough for Pyrokinetic combat in the form of Fire Shield Construction which one day she could create shields of varying shapes and sizes out of the fire to defend/protect herself and others around her. If there is one thing Sarina won't always admit is her fear of what she might be one day capable of, weather it is in control or loss of it. And with good reason to as one day she will be able to use one of the most amazing but dangerous powers she will ever be able to do, Conflagration ( Fire Rain.) is something Sarina can one day create a devastating rain of fire conflagrations of intense temperature, capable of burning or even possibly incinerating any objects nearby making it a Area of effect type of ability and one that is one of Sarina's most powerful but harmful ability for not only will it take pretty much everything she has which depending on size and duration can cause headaches, nosebleeds, unconsciousness and even a coma.<br/><br/>Which can even be caused by Unconscious use of the power which can be catastrophic not only to herself but others. There are other downsides that factor into Sarina's power and for one Control is extremely important, Water and a oxygen depleted environment can render her power useless along with instances of Sarina getting burned if she abuses the power to much or loses control. Another weakness for Sarina is the Fiery temper and at times a short fuse. This is another side effect of her power as it effects her personality and emotions which gives her a little bit of unpredictability of outbursts.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>Sarina can be a confident individual, She is considered a outgoing person who can be a little careless at times which can lead her into troublesome scenarios. Sarina can get angered quite easily but can actually be quite an approachable person and normally okay to interact with others. Sarina generally has a good demeanour about her but might have an attitude at times, Sarina is no longer shy to hide her red eyes which is part of the side effects from her power outburst as she is no longer ashamed of them and find's her eyes to be an exotic part of her.<br/><br/>Sarina Considers herself quite open and honest to those around her who have earned her trust, that is something that is few and far between as she was growing up with teens power developing with her and if not careful lose control without the proper help, Sarina does have a Fiery temper and can have a short fuse. This is another side effect of her power as it effects her personality and emotions. This gives her a little bit of unpredictability of outbursts or how she will act or react with others. This can make her to be Cold, Precise and at times to the point when speaking her mind. Sarina enjoy's the gym, Danger room and using her Fire Poi's for her Fire Poi dancing.<br/><br/><b>History:</b>Sarina was very much a lovely girl when she was younger, Born to american military man and a Puerto Rican mother whose worked in retail work. Life was busy Although her parents would prefer the more quiet and peaceful life, Sarina was the opposite always running around like young kids do, she was able to make friend pretty well and was full of life and smiles, Her parents loved her so dearly. During the early life for some reason she had a thing for Mistletoe, It was probably to do with the special times of Christmas one thing that most children enjoy more and parents mostly remember those magical moments and not fully realizing till she was older to understand what mistletoe was used for. Life was pretty normal for the family until a certain moment, Sarina was now at the age of 16, It was a pivotal changing moment in her life for it would never be the same again, While at a beach party with a load of her friends. During the night Sarina got into an argument with one of the other girls away from the group party in a hut, The drunken girl was convinced her boyfriend was having an affair with Sarina which of course was not true but during the heated argument it got physical and that was when her power flared up albeit a bit delayed compared to some mutants thus setting fire to the small hut they were in.<br/><br/>Unfortunately the flames spread quickly engulfing the frightened girls but running on fear for her life the popular girl fought hard despite getting burned and was able to drag the jealous girlfriend who had lost consciousness out of the fire by time the first person managed to run over, Seeing Sarina pulling the unconscious girl out the fire while others began getting buckets of water or anything they could use and despite Sarina's actions saving the girl who had severe burns over her body, But to the guys shock and Sarina's she was only lightly burned despite her clothes being severely burned and he saw her crimson red eyes which would become a permanent feature of her mutation from the traumatic experience. Sarina promptly ran back home as she her parents were out. Sarina knew that she should of got hurt more than she did but it wasn't until she got home to change clothes she saw herself in the mirror and that was when she realized her eyes. She was a mutant weather she could grasp it or not but her mind was going into overdrive, packing some clothes, water and some snacks she ran away from home trying to get away as far as she could feeling she was nothing more than a freak.<br/><br/>Fortunately her mind was easy to pick up by Charles Xavier and Cerebro which prompted a quick response to find the girl in need and sent Shadowcat to locate and ask Sarina to come to the institute where she would be safe with others like her. It took some convincing but when she did arrived at the institute the teen was amazed, Sarina would spend a while adjusting to her new environment and getting used to being with her own kind but it was hoped to be a mostly positive transition."

You are flat out stating that this is impossible when I already brought forth a couple of examples, both of which are major works (One of which is now an HBO television series of remarkable renown)? No, as the writer, you have the advantage of using a number of narrative styles and developing your own unique narrative voice.<br/><br/>You really should check out this article which describes several other ""impossible"" narrative modes.

</blockquote><br/><br/>No I did not make that one but I did try to start it up again though I did get permission from the original writer, me and him generally make a lot of stuff together so a lot of my group stuff is 50-50, some of my one on ones are his though but for the most part the one on one ideas are mine. I may look it over and update it but I am not sure if it will ever run again. I feel I may have to keep making X-Men RP's or fade into obscurity once more.

The only thing I've ever seen you write is the third person subjective, which is a third person narrative mode. What we're talking about is the differences between subjective, objective, limited and omniscient.<br/><br/>As a GM on the tabletop I had to use Second Person Objective nearly continuously. It is quite appropriate to describe what a character not your own sees, hears or otherwise senses. The think to avoid is describing any reaction on the part of that character. For example, when a dragon rears before the characters I would describe everything the players saw... but I would avoid adding that they feel fear and tremble before his majesty. If I've done my job describing the dragon adequately the players should feel this on their own.<br/><br/>One thing that is certain, some villains would be completely ruined by the third person subjective mode. In particular, those that use treachery and confidence games. I can't tell you how many times players have reacted to the narrative voice and not the character.<br/><br/>On a different tack, a telepath would be rather ideal. We have two brawlers and three blasters in addition to our earth mover. Generally, our group is best suited to guerilla tactics :) We're also lacking a doppelganger, a brick or paragon, and a technical expert."

As GM you will have to deal with that, normally if you remove it before it spreads the RP will live. My example had a GM who was for the most part never there and that is why it fell apart.

Charge one hand with electricity, then the other. Place her hands on either side of her opponents head. Say ""Clear"" and fry their brains out until their head explodes (this is Mortal Kombat logic... everything explodes). 2). Rubs her hands together to build up a charge. Slams her hands into her opponents back. Then walks away. A few seconds later, her opponents chest blows outward. Joke). An electrified french kiss that blows their mind (literally). It just seems to match her personality.<br/><br/>Leon could have Beast as a trainer. Or anyone who has the patience to deal with him, really.<br/><br/>His fatalities? I don't really know. I guess 1). He cuts the opponents throat with his claws, then reaches into the new neck hole with his tail. Grabbing the spine, he breaks it off, yanks it out the hole, then does a sideways spin to build momentum, and impales the opponents head with their own spine. And that's really all I got. Wait... nope, hang on. 2). He uppercuts INTO the opponents gut, right through the ribcage and grabs their jaw, then rips out the skull (MAYBE with the spinal column still attached) right out the front of the face. Joke). He coughs up a hair ball using a localized Sonic Roar to fire it like a bullet right into the opponents temple. Complete with an ""Oops"" because it was an accident.<br/><br/>Are they kinda lame? Yeah, but to be fair I had to come up with them on the fly. At least they're kinda gruesome and follow Mortal Kombat Logic, which dictates that even with you brain and heart removed, electrified, and put back, you are still alive to feel Raiden blow up your head, then your torso.

Sometimes I wonder if I am the fire and the RP is the fuse as I feel this will blow up in my face if I keep pushing things in a rush of excitement. Though I don't have much else to do RP wise. Also in the end you don't need to read the comics and can be someone who just watched the films and cartoons. As long no one says to me ""X-Men: First Class is the best X-Men film ever, it is so accurate and I thought how that guy died was great."" I would be like 0.0 though I would not be like ""Fuck off"" or anything. I myself have been in and started RP's I have no idea about. I actually started a Killzone RP at one point and based my story on the Hellghasts turning on each other while there was a war still going on with the ISA who I think are the villains of the games. I skim the Wiki as well for some things such as the Killzone RP and a few others.<br/><br/>I may play Fire Emblem: Awakening again.

<br/>Fox has always played fast and loose with continuity. My personal favourite is Emma Frost showing up in ""The Wolverine"" and she's something like twelve years old in the 1980's. Then she appears again during the Cuba Missile Crisis and... she's a full grown adult?<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>A. Emma Frost wasn't in The Wolverine, she was in Origins. B. She was never CALLED Emma Frost. She was just called Emma in the film and Kayla's sister/Emma in the credits. C. I'm pretty sure Fox toatally retconned that as being just a mutant named Emma who had diamond hard skin and NOT Emma Frost.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

<br/>In the wolverine Xavier is back in a chair even though he would be in a new body. why is that? My other wolverine question: why do wolverines claws not leave his hands a blood-soaked mess while he cant regenerate? Bullet wounds take minutes to hours, but 6 separate 8 inch blades don't need medical attention as often as he pops and draws them back in?<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>His healing factor isn't GONE. It's just suppressed. And considering bullets make holes AND the bullets were still inside him, while the claw slit were just that. Slits. Granted, HUGE slits, but the skin probably had an easier time closing. Also, this is X-Men. Angel cannot fly, Kitty cannot walk on the ground while intangible, electricity finds the path of least resistance, and diamond I don't think diamonds are bullet proof. I gave up trying to use real world logic. Or even their own logic. Besides, the comics are worse when it comes to continuity."

Rogue eventually go to the point where she CAN turn it off), The Summers brothers.... okay, you got me (But again... alternate universes), Sabertooth is easily explained (he went through a SEVERE mutation that wiped part of his memories... either that or by then he's so animal he doesn't care about brotherly love. By the by... remember Sabretooth's obsession with Wolvy's dog tags?), Moira MacTaggart (No one mentioned her age in EITHER movie and no one said she was american in First Class. That could've been a fake accent. Also alternate universes), General lies (Really? You REALLY gonna make me say it again? Alright. Alternate... Fucking... Universes), Deadpool... FUCK FAKEPOOL (UNLESS!!!!! They use him as a stepping stone for the REAL Deadpool. Check it. His mouth is unsealed in the end credits scene anyways (where he breaks the fourth wall, by the way), the decapitation fucked up his laser vision and technopathy (it's how Stryker controlled him) so that's gone, but it also glitched his teleport, so that it's not working properly... exactly like Deadpool's teleportation device. The torture he had to go through made him batshit crazy, so yay. And now he's ugly, so he wears a mask and kick-ass costume. Oh, yeah. And because of his love for his katanas, he pulls those fuckers out and puts them back into handles. BOOM!!

As improbably as they may be they are still possible. They're extrapolated from points of divergence. A decision gone a different way, a random factor falling askew, or in the rarest circumstances, an immutable law of physics differentiating in some fashion.<br/><br/>What point of divergence involves biological twins being born a generation apart? Additionally, certainly, they didn't declare Moira's age but there are SIXTY years between her first appearance and her second and she's barely aged. Additionally, the CIA does not allow non American citizens to join.<br/><br/>All this really becomes moot. Some things can be explained away and earn you a ""No Prize"", some things can't. The important thing is that Fox Films, simply didn't care. They were simply out to make a quick buck in the beginning since comic book movies were a means of making quick easy money without spending much. Expectations were low because none of the produces were producing quality films. Then Marvel Studios came along and crafted the Iron Man movie and changed everything, further solidifying the genre as a serious prospect.<br/><br/>What we should take away from this is that Fox is doing something surprising and noteworthy. As seen by the recent Spiderman movie, audiences now have higher expectations and the producers of such movies are putting more thought and efforts into their storylines. Sony consulted with Marvel and hired several of their writers for the new Spiderman movie. Fox, from the sounds of it, Fox is effecting a reboot of their franchise without invalidating everything that has gone before."

</blockquote><br/><br/>What do you mean? Aya's asleep, just having a nightmare. Although by the end of it (which I may just skip to, to save the juicy details for later), she'll wake up in a scared, frenzied, panic. Should the dorms be sound-proof? I know it's not realistic, seeing as that would prevent anyone from knowing if she's in danger, but considering her nightmares are frequent and she constantly wakes up either terrified, raging, psychotic, or crying rivers, it would be a disturbance if she constantly woke up other students. I figured her room would be on a separate power grid, so she doesn't accidentally drain power from nearby rooms. Or would there even be nearby rooms? Come to think of it, how the hell would this work. I think I just overthunk. HELP!!!<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

After blowing up the facility, she'll leave, and learn something her mind had locked away because it was too painful. That she also accidently killed her ""sister"". The pain from that will cause her to wake up, and she'll have a breakdown, deciding to kill herself. I plan to end the sequence with her filling her tub with water (which would kill her) and then the bathroom door will break open.

</blockquote><br/><br/>I have a character whose ability starts out as tactile telekinesis. Anything they touch, they can move with their mind, but only so long as they are touching it. Once they stop touching it, gravity kicks back in. Eventually it would evolve into a more advanced state where touching something ""charges"" it with telekinetic energy, allowing them to continue to move it after they stopped touching it. Just a thought."

It's a shame that you don't see it more often in forums.<br/><br/>I use them all the time on the tabletop. Sure, you can simply have a demon walk into the town and describe him.... but if a harried farmer in a leather skullcap rushes in carrying a torch, wild eyed and breathing heavily, suddenly calls out, ""The demon comes! The Demon comes!"" and throws the town into panic... then the mood is set and when I describe the demon finally arriving the players are irked.<br/><br/>Instilling emotion, whether it be tension, heartache or exultation is what a writer exists for.<br/><br/>Edit: Mind you, unlike a movie or novel, there's nothing stopping anyone from walking up to any of these characters and chatting with them or asking Bamf about them :)"

I have humongous experience with the roleplaying thing. I've been doing it since the late eighties.<br/><br/>Here's the deal, Jax is totally new to the school. He doesn't know what CrimsonWarrior might now. There's a degree of separation between yourself and character. For example, CrimsonWarrior might know that there are a bunch of thugs at the end of an alley but his character would not... so the character walks in heedless to any danger while CrimsonWarrior bites at his nails hoping things won't go too far sideways.<br/><br/>In this case, however, Bamf has been around the school for a long while. That's why he's giving the tour. Think about this. You, Crimson Warrior are new to a school and getting a tour when a few weirdos walk by talking stuff that makes no sense. What would you do? What would any of us do? You'd ask... what the hell is up with that or something similar to the person who knows the lay of the land.<br/><br/>So, anticipating this I shoot Bamf's player a quick message on what the heck is going on since his character would know about such things where Jax wouldn't. This allows the narrative to develop naturally. At this point Nighthawk could spin the conversation with Jax any number of ways and makes for more realism as the world around the characters is revealed to extend beyond just the PCs. Forums make this delightedly easy in the way tabletop games could only dream.<br/><br/>This is the true power of the NPC!!! mwah hah hah hah hah!"

</blockquote><br/><br/>DID is different than schizophrenia. DID, like Borderline Personality Disorder, is a defense mechanism in reaction to trauma. You create different ""personalities"" to compartmentalize for your own safety and they tend to take the place of various emotional states. i.e.: One is a protector and/or angry/very aggressive, one is extremely (insanely) happy, one is extremely depressed, and there's one that's you floating around in the middle of it, a neutral party etc. Unlike Schizophrenia DID (and BPD, too) are both completely ""curable"" with therapy and being made aware of it. Schizophrenia is permanent, your brain never ""heals"". You can treat it with medication if the person wants to be helped and/or is forced to be ""helped"" and they can still function; bipolar disorders are similar in that. Though bipolar disorders can be caused by trauma (and are often accompanied by a dual-diagnosis, but not always).<br/><br/>A person with schizophrenia is delusional, hallucinates in all manner of ways, can become extremely paranoid, and often doesn't make sense when they talk because their brain orders things different. They exist, essentially, in a completely different reality."

She sounds schizophrenic in that she has multiple distinct personalities, each with various emotional states, however she isn't delusional, hallucinatory, or paranoid.<br/><br/>I guess it's more ""Hollywood"" schizophrenia.

</blockquote><br/><br/>With multiple distinct personalities (in reality) you ""lose"" time. She would have no memory of what she'd done while in another personality and they would be COMPLETELY different. A different cadence, different tone, different style. This would also make her dangerous on a level that she wouldn't be able to be an X-Man unless she was heavily medicated - and maybe not even then.<br/><br/>The personalities are not aware of each other with schizophrenia and they act independent of one another. With DID they can be made aware of each other (which is how you treat it). She seems more like she's in a manic or hypomanic state. Which also needs to be treated with medication. Like I said, do whatever you like."

I'm treating it as one personality, with rapid mood changes, but it doesn't interfere with her ability to process information logically. She always reacts the same, but with different emotions. She wouldn't turn on friends or side with enemies, nor would she be distracted. It's like how danger sobers someone up real quick. She can focus on a goal, but without a goal, she's erratic.<br/><br/>You know, I may have to play around with this. Breaking her this soon may have been a mistake, but I can roll with it and make changes as necessary.

Since Asha is like the product of a lightbulb and Aya is the electric generator, she can convert a small amount of it into her her own UV radiation, but the rest of it is too untamed and differently coded. If takes in too much light bulb goes pop, but if she focuses on regulating it she can burn brighter.

The idea I have is roughly something like this:<br/><br/>Hundreds of years ago, there was a massive battle. Not one warrior or civilian involved survived. However, every person who died had their soul imprisoned inside an object. Doesn't matter what the object was, from pieces of armor to swords to children's toys to simple rocks. These Artifacts ended up scattered about the globe. Every so often, one is discovered and eventually awakened. When awoken, they bind themselves to the nearest person and grant them various abilities. These can range from psychokinesis to flight to super strength. The downside is that if an Artifact is destroyed, so is the Host. These powers and abilities are used at the discretion of the Host, no matter how the Artifact feels about it. (Huh? Oh, right, the Artifacts are sentient. They can talk to their Host and each other). This tends to bring out the best... and worst in the Host.<br/><br/>There's some other stuff involved, but I can work it out if I decide to go through with it. Right now, I just want some feedback. I know it kinda sucks, but I made the whole thing up on a walk around the block. It all started with the idea of a Psychic Blind Swordsman inspired by Kenshi from Mortal Kombat."

Ryofu Housen (the green-haired, pig-tailed, bi-sexual, brute that they killed off in season one, then revived in season 3.... then killed off again at the end of season 3.

That's one of the reasons I was so drawn to Xavier's School back when I was younger. A school with no classrooms? How bloody cool is that?<br/><br/>It's just weird. In North American culture and Japanese culture, high school seems to be the best and most interesting part of everyone's lives.

Hellsing Ultimate was better, except I prefer Seras' blue uni over the beige one. Right now, I'm watching Monogatari Second Season (I highly recommend it. Sure, the main character is in high school, but that has nothing to do with it. He's too busy helping girls overcomes supernatural crisis'. And it causes me to think alot. It's a very talky anime. Just trust me. When you can, watch Bakamonogatari. Then Nisemonogatari. Then Nekomonogatari (if you can find it). Then Monogatari Second Season. By then, Hanamonogatari should be out. I'm trying to watch Omomori Himari, but I DESPISE the main character's voice. It DOES NOT match the body, and that feels sooooooo weird for Japan. Also try Is This A Zombie?.

Usually he just deals with post-traumatic stress syndrome. Full blown dissociative identity disorder is a whole other beast. Most likely it will involve drugs that will dull the senses, making Aya apathetic and languid, preventing any sort of rapid mood swing. It's a complex balance of uppers, downers and anti-psychotics that can really mess with a person. It's a most unpleasant experience.<br/><br/>Then I'd imagine he'd use his telepathy to delve into the mind, helping Aya relive past traumatic experiences so that she might draw acceptance and closure from them. The apathy resulting from the drugs would likely help her distance herself from the emotions of the events and learn to accept what's happened without the emotional attachment.<br/><br/>In general.... this would NOT be very fun.

And I know true mental diseases aren't fun, but this isn't supposed to be an accurate reflection of reality. For Christ's sake, this is a world of mutants. Why put a real spin on it? Shit, if that's the case, why isn't Deadpool on meds?<br/><br/>Also, (as I stated previously) Aya is a mash-up of Tea and Ayame's pre-murder-of-Ariel-self, May is all the anger she has at herself directed toward the rest of the world... and herself, and Discharge is a personification of the mental unbalance she's suffering from having two extremes in her mind. The mediator.

It's a dangerous and treacherous footing, glorifying another person's problems for amusement.<br/><br/>While I'm not going to stop you I can understand where other people might get upset. I have a great aunt in the asylum and my parents never let me meet her. I even came close to developing such a disorder myself. When I was young and being bullied I blacked out and ""someone"" took over and chased away the bullies. My mother claimed it was an angel. Luckily, being the intelligent sort I refuted this, figuring a real angel would have conspired to prevent the event taking place at all rather than resort to violence. As it was, I recognized the possibility of going insane and was terrified. If I hadn't, if I had taken my mother at her word and didn't doubt the angel aspect, I might very well have created the alternate persona that enjoyed beating up people and probably, eventually killing people all in the name of God.<br/><br/>I can't begin to tell you how terrifying it is to awaken somewhere else, having no memory of what you've done in the past or what it's like being told by others what you had done. A mental illness is created when the brain tries to protect itself and something goes wrong. It's where the brain sacrifices its future health in order to survive the present.<br/><br/>The truly deplorable part is that you want to portray someone that is sick... but in a world where that sickness is cultivated, cherished and protected by those that should be trying to heal such a person. That's fairly depraved. That's why I was suggesting some other means of possessing an alternate persona rather than being insane."

There are really only a few things that bother me like that. 9/11 jokes (because wow, that's low) and pedophilia jokes (Because childhood issues, although I do find Pedobear humorous, so that last one, not so much).<br/><br/>You sound like a political correctness activist. By that logic, murder, bestiality, mental disease, rape, STDs, Mass Destruction, Religion, Politics, Dirty Humour, Bodily injury, Natural Disassters, Non-Natural Disasters, Witchcraft and Wizardry, Gore, Sex, Drugs, Greed, and Everything, really, should be taken out of all entertainment media because it might offend someone.<br/><br/>Now. All that asshole stuff being said. Do I feel sorry for your friend? Absolutely. Mental illness is a horrible thing to live with. Truly terrible, and I hope to God that they can overcome that setback and live their life as full as they can (if they aren't already). But, I still like seeing characters in fiction who have mental diseases. I like seeing a mentally retarded person overcome adversity. Like how the guy with autism was the only survivor of the cube in The Cube. I also like seeing characters who are clearly insane go off the deep end. Like Yuno Gasai. She is so badass, partly to the fact that she's Yuno Fucking Gasai, and partly to the fact that she's stone cold fuck nuts. The Mastermind in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is also bat-shit crazy and possibly has dissociative identity disorder. Or at the very least gets bored with their own personality and switches to another other. And to that end they organized a Murder game where the best and brightest high school students have to kill each other. And I fucking love that game! Serial Killers are clearly deranged and yet slasher flicks are so popular that they ended up making a serial killer a protagonist! I.E. Dexter!<br/><br/>Look, my goal wasn't to use mental illness as an insult, or an attack, or a representation of how fun it can be, or a understatement of how horrifying it can be. I simply wanted to add a layer of depth to my (note, my) character. There is a certain level of badassness that comes with a certain type of crazy. And that badassness was what I was trying to incorporate into Ayame by emulating things I have seen in certain shows. But that's NOT a reflection of how I feel. This is escapism for me. Where I can go to live out fantasies and do things that I can't do in real life. I play Mortal Kombat, but I don't kill people. I watch Seikon no Qwaser, but I don't go around drinking breast milk (seriously, that's how their powers work. It's fucked up, I know, but the action is soooooo awesome, and the plot is amazing). I watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but I don't... um... with horses... hang on.... that kinda has nothing to do with the point I'm making. Whatever. Look, I know the difference between Fiction. And reality. What I do in a fictitious RP does not reflect how I feel in reality. It's an escape. How do you escape the horror of a mental disease. You make it cool.<br/><br/>And with that. I'm done. You win. Ayame will no longer be a factor. I still have Leon, who has no mental problems. And the new character I want to use, only has the problem of having a power that horrendously clashes with his personality. No mental issues aside from being withdrawn. Okay? You're the victor, I quit, yadda, yadda, yadda, and I hope we can still be friends. I like you, I do. Just... let's keep these debates to either a minimum, or private. Okay?<br/><br/>Still Friends?

I do, however, have enough experience to know that certain issues in online forums are dangerous topics. For example, I enjoy rape fantasies in my fiction. However, knowing the fact that 1 in 6 women (and 1 in 30 men) experience rape in their lifetime I am quite careful before going that route.<br/><br/>Also, in your tirade, I think you missed out on the ""uncomfortable"" aspect I mentioned, that someone might not want to discuss such things."

In addition to that, she's not the only one you're pissing off by 1) just doing what you're doing 2) how you're handling the entire thing in the OOC. People react differently to different things, you saying ""you make it cool"" does not make it so for everyone. There isn't some catchall, sure that might work for some people, but for other people there are still emotional reactions. People are also on different stages of processing.<br/><br/>I am willing to wager you will continue to focus on the wrong aspects of what other people are saying. This is not an attempt to drag out some perceived drama. I'm going to tell you straight up, you need to listen so much better and wrap your head around the idea that other people think different things than you do and that it's perfectly fine. You're not going to convince anyone of anything, like we're not trying to convince you of anything. We're just asking you to please be respectful. You are making it very hard for me to want to concentrate on this RP, both in the OOC and in the IC. I am so willing to quite talking about this if there stops being parts of it that need discussing. In that same vein, most of what you said has very little to do with the actual problem.<br/><br/>Speaking of the IC, I'm still slowly working on my post from here in the land of Corn (Iowa). It's been pretty busy and y'all know I am infrequent regardless of anything else. Hilariously enough the internet in my great grandmother's assisted living home is better than the internet at my house."

<br/>For example, I enjoy rape fantasies in my fiction.<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>And there's nothing wrong with that. Because you understand the difference between fiction and reality. Hell, one of my all-time favorite Tales of the Abyss fanfics starts as a rape between Luke and Tear, then moves to passionate rape, then willing sex. By the end of it, they're a couple. Does that happen in real life? I sure as hell hope not. But this is my OTP of Tales and the story is very well written. Plus it's an escape from what the horrors of rape REALLY are. Rapists deserve to burn. Or at least have their genitalia removed. And yes, it can be a slippery slope, but in my opinion, so long as the person doesn't have truly malicious intents, some leeway can be given (although there are exceptions).<br/><br/>Look, Solemn, my goal has never once been to change Assallya's opinion. Nor do I think she's trying to change mine. Opinions differ, that's life.<br/><br/>And I'm done. This has gone on way too long, and this whole thing is sucking the fun out of this RP for me. So before that happens, I'm ending the discussion right now. Besides, I need to go work on Bloodbath and Mr. Vein."

Any blood that leaves his body is instantly replaced, making it impossible for him to die of blood loss.

But this new side of himself, scared Steve, so he pushed those feelings down, and refused to acknowledge them. But they had to come out eventually. So, whenever something happened and he felt that aggression bubbling to the surface, he would form a faceplate of blood, and act under the name Mr. Vein. Eventually, this alter ego became the embodiment of his aggression, and got Steve into more than a little trouble. Fearing for their son, Steve's parents contacted the Xavier School, and asked for help. Soon enough Steve was staring down the door of the mansion. And in his two years here, almost nothing has changed, except for Mr. Vein and Steve being even more separate than ever.

This should be fun.<br/><br/>Nice catch by the way. I was considering having Steve try and catch her with his power (kindness and all that) but I wanted to see if anyone else would come to the rescue.<br/><br/>By the way, I'm having a few problems with Steve's mask. I'd like it to be gray, but I also like the idea of him being able to summon it from wherever. In order for that to happen… it has to be made of blood. Or magic. Or… something, fuck I don't know. Also, I want the mouth and eyes to look like this:<br/><br/><img src=""http://0-gate.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/mask-man-with-knife-1024x575.png""/><br/><br/>But I also want them to be expressive. While the mouth never opens, it frowns and smiles and goes into a straight line to match Mr. Vein's own expression. Same with the eyes. Like in cartoons. But again, should it be made of blood, or should it be magic, or…. something? I mean, if it's made of blood, then it'd be red, and I think gray or black would look better, ya know? Any suggestions?"

</blockquote><br/><br/>That's oxygenation and it turns blood brown (the iron basically rusts), but that takes a while.<br/><br/>Another thing is that if the mask is blood, then he has to focus on it being solid (splitting his concentration) and heat will cause it to turn liquid again, converting him back to Steve. But maybe that's for the best? Give Mr. Vein a weakness so he doesn't get out of control, and also a way to stop him if he does get out of control?<br/><br/>Would it be okay if he can change the color of his blood? I know it's stupid and mundane, with no real applications and absolutely zero logic, but… eh?"

It's a technique designed to show you the emotions of the person wearing the mask, and I like it so much more than the emotionless angle. But I figured I'd at least but some logic behind it. And come to think of it, I should probably clarify. It's more of a faceplate. Like Vega's mask.

He has no boundaries, whether it be man made (from cloth to titanium) or organic (wood to rock)<br/>Hijack Sight- Allen can see through other people's eyes, giving himself and his teammates a tactical advantage in a fight<br/>Remote Viewing- using his mutant sight, he can see from any angle in any direction<br/>Tactical Sight- Allen has very calculative mind, and his mutation allows him to see his own mathmatical thoughts, seeing equations and movements as geometric and percise movements. A simple stroll could allow him to see the legs moving at a certain degree, or the path of travel to be a certain slope<br/><br/>Skills:<br/>Marksmanship- when he combines his military training, and his mutant ability, he is an expert marksman, even capable of shooting bullets in a curved path<br/>Army Medic- Allen spent several years in armed forces as a field medic, so he knows how to keep a wound from getting infected long enough to reach proper medical help<br/>Cooking- when not active in the field, Allen spent his time working in the base's kitchen area due to his love of food<br/><br/>History:<br/>Allen grew up a christian via his parentage, but personally he felt he didn't believe in things such as God and the Heavens. By the age of 18, his parents were killed in a car wreck the day he graduated high school, so he did the only thing he knew was right and joined the armed forces.<br/>There, he became an army medic and met a lovely nurse who's parents had also died, and she was the first person he opened up to, being shy even around his own parents. One night, the nurse is attacked in her office by a man enraged by his PTSD, and Allen was too late in saving her when the man brutally assaulted her, snapping her neck before fighting the man.<br/>Not knowing the man had a knife, Allen approached him and was stabbed in his left eye, completely destroying it, but he kept him at bay from the other staff and patients until the Military Police apprehended him.<br/>It took several months for Allen to get over the loss of one of his only friends, and his loss of sight in his eye, but during his recovery time, his mutant gene activated and he was overwhelmed sights of the entire world, but slowly he managed to control it, but the pain persisted, giving him a constant migraine due to looking at everything all the time and so he became addicted to pain medications.<br/>One day, he used his mutant power out in the open in an effort to help out a fellow soldier, but he was ratted on and the military kicked him out, not because he was trying to help but because he was a mutant, and at this time there were very few mutants in the armed forces, and that was how they wanted it.<br/>Homeless and depressed, Allen took to smoking cigarettes and gun running for the mob after falling into debt with the wrong crowd. Here he learned how to combine his military experience and mutant ability to shoot around corners whenever he got in a jam.<br/>Luckily he didn't have to be a criminal for too long, because other mutants, calling themselves X-Men, caught wind of his activitives and offered him a place among their sanctuary.<br/><br/>Personality:<br/>Allen is a good man born from unfortunate circumstance. He has his head on straight and knows what's what, but he does not have much life experience in his 22 years. He is ill willed, evidenced by his addiction to pain pills and cigarette smoking, but he knows that they are wrong so at least he isn't ignorant. Due to his time in both the military and the Mob, he has become comfortable in a foot soldier role, but at the same time he likes to take matters into his own hands and be a loose cannon. In regards to relationships, Allen perfers to keep to himself, not wanting to go through another personal loss, so he has developed some well guarded layers. So he may seem harsh and like a jerk, but he's a jerk with a heart of gold."

I enjoyed Super Mario Bros., and can call Dragonball Evolution a decent movie (horrible DB movie, sure, but it wasn't a bad movie). So, Meh. Can't wait for the 5th. Should be interesting ;)<br/><br/>On a side note, 1000th post, holy shit! Didn't I get the 500th as well?"

</blockquote><br/><br/>I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw those words. The words bailing, dropping, leaving, farewell, Goodbye and all those other words make me feel like this.<hr/>The first arc involves X-23 and well she is not my character. Of course I have had my up and downs during this time, for a time I wondered if certain people had disappeared, myself included. I am sure you will like the first arc or I hope so anyway.<br/><br/>I will most likely have Plasma walk into the danger room X-23 and Darkshadow is in, maybe this will be the kick in butt I need. I will probably write it that the simulation ended and the next part is about to take off."

</blockquote><br/><br/>DO IT! The Dinobots are FUCKING AWESOME!!! And the story is quite dark, with only a sprinkling of humor here and there. Like boba on a Menchie's frozen yogurt (mmmmmm... yum). Plus Mark Wahlberg did a great job, I love how all the Autobots are frankly pissed the fuck off with humanity, and Hound is fucking badass. The plot is coherent. And it's all around a fantastic movie. Zero regrets from me. Well... except one. The runtime is a wee bit long... at 2 hours and 45 minutes. A bit of stretch if you ask me. Also I was a little disappointed that Nicola Petz... Peltz(? Fuck it) was basically just a damsel in distress, but fuck, if it gives Marky-Mark a reason to fuck up Decepticons with a fucking sword laser, who gives a shit?<br/><br/>But hey, don't listen to me. Don't listen to Assallya. Don't listen to any critics (fuck them anyways. Critics only think a movie is good if it is ground-breaking in some manner. Fuck. Them). Okay?

What is the point of Nightcrawler's fur?<br/><br/>As for the Transformers, suspension of disbelief is a big thing for me. The movie was an insult to writers and role players everywhere. Let's say that I prefer a reality that makes sense. How am I supposed to prognosticate on further installments? How am I supposed to even know what's going on? I spent the entire movie in a confused daze. Now I just need closure.<br/><br/>First: All the autobots are psychotic and attempt to kill one another... but what the hey... It's not like they're the actual autobots or anything. I mean, that would just be silly; using the actual transformers from the toy lines. Nah.<br/><br/>Optimus: ""That transformer.. it's Lockdown! I don't know who these aliens masters are that he serves but I know him... and apparently I betrayed his masters personally enough that they sent him after me but forget all that. Look, it doesn't have to make sense. Just start shooting.""<br/><br/>Heck there are people are shopping downtown while there's a giant alien starship overhead... when one just a few years before nearly leveled the entire city. Personally, I'd have been running from the hills, not looking up, pointing and saying, ""Hey, maybe this time they're friendly. You know what. I need a new pair of pants. Time to hit the GAP. Wait... look, there are flying robots shooting up the city.... Now I really need those pants. They might blow up the store before I finish the transaction.""<br/><br/>Then there's the autobots driving from Shanghai to Hong Kong in about a minute flat. Think about it? It's a six hour flight. There's also an OCEAN involved. What the hell? Did they somehow all develop rocket boots and fly there? Did they transform into hovercraft? Wait, if they could all fly... why bother with all that sliding down the sides of buildings thing?<br/><br/>About half way through I just stopped trying to understand what was going on. I just couldn't stop laughing at the stupidity. It was clear that nobody on the writing staff gave a crap so why should I.<br/><br/>Edit: My mistake. It was Beijing. I rather assumed it was Shanghai since it was so much closer to Hong Kong. Beijing is even more ridiculous."

(Now keep in mind, it's from the One Piece universe in my head, so I'm not gonna bother changing it from the bio I already have typed down)<br/><br/>Powers: The Aura-Aura Fruit: This Paramecia-Type Devil Fruit allows Lauren to “read” the natural invisible energy waves everything gives off to a much, much, much greater extent than normally possible by those born with the ability, as well as the ability to manipulate this energy, which is normally impossible to do beyond a slight “twang”. These Auras manifest as colored, translucent, slightly larger images of objects or people. They can be as intangible as mist (an Aura) or as hard as steel (a Hard-Light Construct). While normally invisible to all but the most spiritual and impossible to detect by all but those truly in tune with themselves and their surroundings, when Lauren uses her ability, the Auras and HLCs are visible to all in the area. Lauren often uses her ability to augment her skills as a doctor. By viewing someone’s Aura she can assess the damage immediately and manipulate the Aura to allow faster healing. How fast depends on the persons will to live though. In combat she can read an opponent’s rhythm and predict their next attack from their Aura. It’s only 80% accurate though. She can also form HLCs of herself to strike an enemy from a distance, surround her arms, legs, or wooden sword to increase their power, surround her body as a shield, or create secondary and tertiary strikes following her own primary attack to enhance the force. Later she learns how to alter the shape and size of these HLCs, allowing her to give a dull object an impossibly sharp edge and even create HLCs from nothing, as they originally couldn’t move farther than two feet from the object they are shaped like. She also learns how to channel her blood-thirsty persona, Laura, into an HLC, giving Lauren an excellent combat partner, since they are the same mind they co-ordinate perfectly. The weakness of this fruit is that she can’t “see” Auras with her physical eyes, but with her mind’s eye, and as a result can be very clumsy in combat if she isn’t paying attention. Also, HLCs only stick around as long as Lauren is focusing on them. The more she uses the more fragile they are (One is hard as steel, two are hard as stone, three are hard as a very tough human, four are fragile as an untrained human, five are fragile as a human baby, six are fragile as a leaf, and seven are as fragile as wet paper), so she can only uses three HLCs at once, except during her Ultimate attack, Septum Star-Crosser, which uses her maximum HLCs (7) at once, and since she is only concentrating on the HLCs, the target, and herself, the toughness raised from wet paper to diamond. She eventually gets rid of these weaknesses and raises her maximum number of HLCs to 20 in combat, all hard as steel and 100, all harder than Diamond, during her new Supreme attack, the Centurion Quantum Splitter, leaving her only flaw her split persona, which has a mind of her own and if she isn’t in the mood or is forbidden from spilling blood or killing, might not help even if channeled into an HLC.<br/><br/>It's just an idea... I have plenty more. Take it with a grain of salt."

</div><br/>Jessica is a 5ft 6 Young Caucasian female roughly weighing 120lbs (54kg), She has long brunette hair which drapes over her shoulders with a parted fringe. She has Hazel eyes with high cheekbones and delicate slightly over average size lips. She wears a size six shoe with a good feminine build with some curves and Slender shoulders with a fair skin complexion.<br/><br/>Powers: Telekinesis:<br/>Telekinesis Is an ability associated with Psionic Manipulation, Jessica currently has the ability of numerous uses even at a basic level. For example at the moment she is able to hold an object or person in place, Using loose items as projectiles, Pull or Push objects or people and be capable to levitate Objects or People several inches of the air and to keep object/from from moving. Over time more Jessica may through hard work and training be able to use her potential to be able to understand and control her power enough to to alter an object's inner workings, like unlocking a door and to utilize telekinesis in combination of physical combat. giving Jessica the potential to turn a stable environment into an unstable one and useful in supporting roles.<br/><br/>Psionic Force field: Jessica can erect, expand, or deactivate a psionic shield, which will protect against any or all mental intrusion. This includes defence against psychic or empathic powers, hypnosis, as well as illusions and deception. Mind readers only “hear” static, while mind controllers are incapable of manipulating those shielded. She can also project powerful fields of invisible psionic energy which she uses for a variety of offensive and defensive effects to protect her from Physical harm.<br/><br/>Power Limits/Weaknesses: Those whose physical strength is stronger than Jessica's mental strength may still be able break free from her but she is only able to manipulate objects or people she can physically see. Overuse of her power can cause headaches, nosebleeds, unconsciousness, coma and even death due to the mental focus that is required and as a result the ability is limited to allow her recovery. Cassandra will not be able to manipulate magic-based matters/energies and ineffective against those who control themselves at fundamental levels. Once Cassandra is able to create telekinetic force fields she may be limited on size/shape/time their barriers can take. Along with this however she will not be able to maintain barriers under stress and will require a lot of concentration.<br/><br/>Skills: Ambidextrous, Basic hand to hand combat, She is quite an adept acrobat making her quite quick, nimble Individual. She also has basic First Aid knowledge like CPR that her parents put her through believing it may be helpful. And has taken interests in Singing<br/><br/>Personality: Once a generally nice a girl from a young age, Jessica's hardships of being a mutant has made her change quite a bit. She can still have a kind loving heart that has been broken several times over for being what she simply is, Jessica has kind of created a defensive shell but can be shy around new people. Jessica is sometimes easy to offend thanks to how emotional she can get considering her social life got destroyed when everyone but her family turned against her. She often finds it hard to make friends for fear of being cast out or attacked and thus she might come across shy at first but once outside her shell Jessica can be a good laugh and a loyal friend to the end, She is also a lover of animals.<br/><br/>History: Jessica was born in Quebec, Canada, She is very much a quiet girl when she was younger, choosing to have as much of a peaceful life as one can, she was able to make friends pretty easily and was full of life and smiles, Her parents loved her so dearly, Life was pretty normal for the family. Her parents grew worried during her teens years when they realized she had a powers when hitting puberty. They strictly forbidden her to use it in public and decided to keep it quiet as possible to try and live a normal life. Jessica practised hand to hand combat through various training places her father had paid for, She eventually trained in further use of her powers in the private confines of their home focusing on mental conditioning in a calm environment.<br/><br/>By the time Jessica was in her late teens and only a few years away to be able to decide her own fate, Her mother worried about her daughter as it was becoming harder to keep the secret of Jessica being a mutant as the teen became more accustomed to using her power more frequently within the house hold and secretly confided a few things she shouldn't of to her personal counsellor. This made Jessica upset, but also mad when she found out and became a bit rebellious towards her parents and try as they might to put a stop to it and argue the combination of all three things grabbed much unwanted attention and hate towards the family causing unrest in their neighbourhood. Fortunately Professor X had already sent a couple of X men out to safely retrieve Jessica before any damage was done and calmed the Teen down once they made her realize she was not the only one and there was in fact a safe place for others like her and so making amend with her family, Jessica packed up her things and left one home for another."

</blockquote><br/><br/>So this is a future event with key active characters, in this future all the humans live underground and all the mutants live on the surface as either slaves or to put it better as fighters and those who serve the master of this future. Basically it is a fight to the death type thing or possibly a Battle Royale kind of thing though death is basically the big factor here. The idea is for the mutants to kill each other off and is basically entertainment for the master and at the same time doing the job of bring the mutant numbers down. It has a very dark, gritty Mortal Kombat thing going on where death is not optional either. You lose you die, if you refuse to kill the opponent you both die. The arenas vary as well.<br/><br/>I guess key words would be:<br/><br/>-Death<br/>-Survival (Possibly a team or single survival based arc. Single being a free for all though due to the idea it will most likely be team Vs team.)<br/>-Correction (Reworking the future so the master is not present before returning to the present unless I make this a future-future part of the RP)<br/>-Future Events<br/><br/>This is only one idea and so if you have one fling them at me."

Without knowing the details on how the planet fell to Apocalypse (or did the whole planet? Maybe the United Kingdom still stands?) it's hard to know what to portray. Another interesting thought, not addressed by the actual Age of Apocalypse, is how non-mutant empowered beings would be handled by Apocalypse. Would he have thrown them into the Gene-vats?<br/><br/>I have a hankering to portray Beryl, my crystal growing mutant but she'd likely be a lady in Apocalypse's court. I do have my speedster Pandora Jinx, she's far too friendly to make for an Apoco-Lackey :)"

Does this mean we can go through multiple characters? Cuz this would be the perfect outlet for my boredom. I can easily get bored being stuck with one character, so killing off one or two or 50 wouldn't be a problem for me. Look at my character vault for proof.<br/><br/>OOOOH!!! I could even bring in my Mortal Kombat characters. Malachi has some wicked fatalites. I'm partial to his ""Rip out spinal column and impale it in opponents head"" one. Sub-Zero the III has some good ones, too. I just made her up recently, but I really like her ""Batter's Up!"" where she freezes the bones in the arm, shatters them, wraps the limp thing around their frozen neck, pulls really hard decapitating the target and ripping the arm off, freezes the arm, and shatters it clearing the head from the park.<br/><br/>I can be morbid sometimes... tee-hee."

The longer I have players in a story line the more ammunition I develop for more embedding additional complexity. When they are eliminated from the story I have to start all over with providing foreshadowing and building NPC relationships for these new PCs. It gets even worse if they're prophesied in some fashion.<br/><br/>While I have nothing against the addition of Mortal Kombat derived characters I would appreciate avoiding the cartoon level of physics. For example, the idea of decapitating someone with a severed arm, flaccid or not, is preposterous outside of the original source material."

Not only is it attached to the rib cage, but the vertebrae are only connected via cartilage... which would probably break. Mortal Kombat physics are downright impossible outside of Mortal Kombat.

Scales.<br/><br/>Basically it was a character for One Piece... except her power belonged to her brother. And since their other brother had elemental dragon transformation, I gave the one brother energy beams. (Draco had was a western dragon who could shoot energy, Serpere was an eastern dragon who could control the four elements, Vypera just could control steel).<br/><br/>When I wanted to use Vypera in a One Piece RP, I still wanted to use the Dragon-Dragon Fruit of the West, so I gave it to her. But I never got a chance. So I figure, fuck it, she's a mutant now.<br/><br/>Confused? Here's the fruit description from her One Piece CS. Easily adjustable for this RP (and no. She won't actually transform. She'll only have her hybrid form. Like Leon being a walking tiger. Or Beast. Or Nightcrawler, you get it. Unless you WANT her to transform. I just figured that her full form, while fun, might not fit)<br/><br/>-Devil Fruit(if any): Here we go: The Dragon-Dragon Fruit (Ryu-Ryu no Mi): Power: This Mythical Zoan-Type Devil Fruit allows its user to transform into a Western-Style Dragon with focus on strength and power. It also allows her to fire energy beams. She can fire these beams in any of her three forms from either her mouth or palms. Her hybrid form mostly resembles her normal look except she’s not 6’ 8” instead of 5’ 6”. She gains one scale on each of her cheeks; her pupils’ slit, while her irises turn yellowish-green and her sclera turn black. She does gain fangs (that elongate for biting) and the rest of her teeth sharpen as well. She gains scales all down her back, running along her spine to her new tail which is about 6” thick at it’s base and about 5’ long, her forearms turn into those of a dragon, being scaly and ending in five clawed fingers. Her forelegs do the same, except she only has three front toes and one back toe. The scales on her legs continue up her outer thighs and create what can only be described as “scale panties”. She also has scales from the middle of her breast to the outside (to protect sensitive parts), which wrap around to her wings. Her wingspan measures about 7’, but she can’t fly with her wings, only glide. She stronger than normal in this form, but there are still plenty others far stronger than her. For some reason, her hair also turns red. Her full form is pretty big, about 20’ from head to tail (the tail being 6’ of that). Her tail ends in a double-ended blade. Her senses are also enhanced, particularly smell. Her fiery red hair also reduces to just a mini mane on the back of her head. There’s not much else to say about her full form. She’s a dragon, plain and simple. Now it’s time to turn our attention to the fruit’s weaknesses. Well, as a new user, Vypera has quite a few. Using her beams in her human form is dangerous to her. Her mouth beam can and will burn her badly, while her palm beams will burn her if she maintains an stream for longer than 10 seconds. The scales in her hybrid form negate this (yeah, she also has scales in her mouth… I kinda just added that part) because they are strong enough to block standard steel swords and bullets. However, it is in fact possible for a strong or skilled swordsman to knock them off, causing her pain and exposing the under-flesh. And while her scales are strong, her flesh is not. It is only as strong as a regular human. She also, as mentioned, can't fly in her hybrid form. As a new user, her chest muscles aren't strong enough to produce enough lift to get her body off the ground. Maybe one day. In her full form, she is a mindless berserker, completely unable to tell the difference between friend and foe. As a result, she has no idea to protect her underbelly, which has no scales on it and is very vulnerable. Her joints are also scale-less to allow movement. Lastly, thanks to her enhanced sense of smell, she can easily be over-powered by things like garlic. However, its highly unlikely Vy will use her full form, as she is terrified of it."

Allow me to make a list of character concepts. Please note, they will be in different formats as none of them are from X-Men, but it's no problem to tweak their powers and story.<br/><br/>I like this power. A lot of interesting applications:<div class=""hider-panel"">

</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        This Paramecia-Type Devil Fruit allows the user to “read” the natural invisible energy waves everything gives off, as well as the ability to manipulate this energy, which is normally impossible to do. These Auras manifest as colored, translucent, slightly larger images of objects or people that increase in intenseness the tougher the subject is. They can be as intangible as mist (an Aura) or as hard as steel (a Hard-Light Construct). While normally invisible to all, when the user uses their ability, the Auras and HLCs are visible to all in the area. In combat the user can read an opponent’s rhythm and predict their next attack from their Aura. It’s only 80% accurate though. The user can also form HLCs of themselves to strike an enemy from a distance, surround their arms, legs, or weapon to increase their power, surround their body as a shield, or create secondary and tertiary strikes following their own primary attack to enhance the force. It is possible to alter the shape and size of these HLCs, allowing the user to give a dull object an impossibly sharp edge and even create HLCs from nothing, as they normally can’t move farther than two feet from the object they are shaped like. The weakness of this fruit is that the user can’t “see” Auras with their physical eyes, but with their mind’s eye, and as a result can be very clumsy in combat if they aren’t paying attention. Also, HLCs only stick around as long as the user is focusing on them. The more they uses the more fragile they are (One is hard as steel, two are hard as stone, three are hard as a very tough human, four are fragile as an untrained human, five are fragile as a human baby, six are fragile as a leaf, and seven are as fragile as wet paper), so it’s best to only use three HLCs at once, except during Ultimate attacks which can use the maximum HLCs (7) at once, and since they would only be concentrating on the HLCs, the target, and themselves, the toughness raised from wet paper to diamond

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        Powers: The ability to manifest computer data into reality by a technique called “Data Resolution”. Drake is also an expert martial artist and possesses an outstanding level of genius intellect, far surpassing anyone in history.<br/><br/>Equipment: Hundreds of special microchips called Rezchips that hold the data for his Data Resolution technique. In order to use these, one must use a handheld device called a Rezzer. Drake has one emergency Rezzer clipped to his belt at all times. Drake lost his right arm and forelegs in an accident and utilizes a metal arm and metal forelegs. Drake possesses 3 versions of his metal limbs. The first is the “Civilian” limbs. They are just normal prosthetic limbs. Nothing special is added and the limbs have the same strength as a normal arm and normal legs. There is a pop-out shelf in the arm with five slots to hold Rezchips, and one Rezzer slot in the wrist. Then there are the “Combat” limbs. These don’t add any armor or anything, but instead add in all the mechanics missing from the Civilian model. These additions give the arm enhanced strength, increase the slots for Rezchips to ten by adding a second shelf, and add a second Rezzer slot beside the first. They also allow a special punch called the “Piston Punch” where Drake pulls the pistons that power his arm back and punches something. The pistons release and create a massive forward force three times as strong as the initial punch. The third is the “Heavy Arms”. This upgrade adds armor to both arms, with a strip running across his shoulder blades connecting them. The Rezzer on his wrist is increased to four slots and a second Rezzer is added to his left arm, also with four slots. The left arm also gains two pop-out shelves, each with five slots to hold Rezchips. Finally he has the “Ultimax Armor”. This upgrade covers his whole body in slim armor with several Rezchip slots, giving him quick access to all his chips. In addition to the upgrades, he has tons of equipment and weapons he has “derezzed” into data. The data is held in Rezchips kept in a case kept in another Rezchip kept in his chest plate along with the Rezchips for his Combat limbs, Heavy Arms, and Ultimax Armor. He has duplicated all the chips and holds the duplicates in his Ultimax Armor. He also possesses a “data chair”, a floating computer chair made of nanobots, bonded to his DNA. The data chair holds all of the original data for everything Drake has ever rezzed. Unfortunately the chair is incapable of producing Rezchips without the chip maker back in his lab, which no matter how hard he tries, cannot be rezzed, due to the unique energy signature produced by the device, which scrambles the derezzer, preventing the device from being broken down into data. And he can’t rez his lab either due to the sheer amount of data stored. It would take up a full thirty-two Rezchips and even with his Ultimax Armor, he could only rez nine chips at a time.

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        Powers: Max is a Spirit (a Ghost charged with Divine Magic) possessing his own Revenant (a deceased body reanimated by Demonic Magic). The resulting creature is known as a Wraith, and is unique in that it belongs to both the Light and the Dark as it is infused with both holy and demonic energy. As his body is already dead and Ghosts are eternal, he does not age or decay, almost as if he was still alive. He can turn invisible and intangible to pass through physical matter. He possesses telepathy, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, cyrokinesis, and biokinesis which allows him to alter his body on a molecular level, transforming him however he chooses, even into an animal, but he must remain roughly the same size. He is also capable of astral projection (which is really just de-possessing his body). During projection he can possess another organic being, living or not, or any technology, granting him full access, which he can also do from a distance. Lastly, he is impossible to kill. He can be exorcised, but will shortly return to his body, which is his anchor to the world. If his body is destroyed, so long as he has a reason to return to the realm of the living, his body will regenerate and his Spirit will return. He is susceptible to divine sealing and demonic binding, but given enough time, can free himself. Luckily, his partner, Amoira, can undo seals and binds.<br/><br/>Equipment: A vast assortment of demon-hunting weaponry hidden in special caches around the city, but he constantly carries two retractable short swords, one made of a special blessed light alloy gifted to him by Eli, the other made of a special cursed midnight alloy gifted to him by Lucifer, as well as a mutagenic pistol reversed engineered from the holy and demonic alloy of his swords by his tech-specialist, a Werewolf named Luken. It has unlimited ammo and can switch between holy rounds, cursed rounds, and ballistics, depending on the situation. Most impressive is its ability to become any type of weapon based on Max’s mental commands, be it automatic, semi-auto, sniper, dual, or artillery, so long as he can hold it and wield it effectively.

<br/>Posted, hope its okay, and i really like the wraith idea Crim :)<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>It was an idea for a storyline I came up with during work after watching a stupid hallmark movie called ""Girl Fight"" about some bitches beating up a girl and putting it on youtube. After some... MAJOR revisions, and the addition of the supernatural, I somehow ended up with a group of bounty hunters working for the devil. Although not like you'd think. Here, the devil (Lucifer) is an okay guy. He's just the warden of the prison known as Hell. Although, he's not very good at it as demons keep escaping (one mass escape was because he got drunk and put monkeys in charge of Hell... because he thought it'd be funny). So he hired a small group that consists of a Wraith (Maximilian), a Spirit (Bethany), a Succubus (Amoira), a Werewolf (Luken), an Alucard (a male vampire (females are Draculinas) who can trace their vampiric heritage back to Dracula himself. Names Jacob, by the way), a Grim Reaper (Max's sister Hallie), and Lucifer's twin sister, Lucille (who runs a strip club).<br/><br/>What can I say? I got REALLY fucking bored at work. In fact, most of my ideas come from either being bored (like Wraith), not liking how something ended (Ikki Tousen), having a crush on a fictional character (Metroid), just straight up loving a show (One Piece), or just wanting to knock an op character down a few pegs (Superman). Well, and RPing, of course."

<br/>Very well... Allow me to make a list of character concepts. Please note, they will be in different formats as none of them are from X-Men, but it's no problem to tweak their powers and story.I like this power. A lot of interesting applications: This one.. I'm iffy on. While I find the concept absolutly amazing... it kinda seems... over the top. And depending, can be op. Still really cool though (note, it's just the power I'd bring in, the rest is specific to the character the power came from) And if you think Data rezzing is op, just for shits and giggles, check out this guy: Sad thing is... in his universe, he's AVERAGE.

Although she runs as a loner, she never rejects help nor refuses to offer it.<br/>Brief Bio: Gaming started in the later years, around 8 or so, although she wasn't the one playing.

Always able to figure out problems quickly, I use my natural born gift of intelligence to help me and my ""team"" through the problem.

</div><br/>Name: Michael Hughes<br/>Age: 18 (almost 19)<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Orientation: Mostly Striaght, but if I find a guy truly attractive, I go for him.<br/>Hometown: Texarkana<br/>Occupation: Stay-at-home<br/>Favourite Games: Battlefield 4, Destiny<br/>Personality: I am the leader type, though I do better when I have advisors. Always able to figure out problems quickly, I use my natural born gift of intelligence to help me and my ""team"" through the problem. I tend to be a know-it-all, however, and, when in an argument, even if I know im wrong, I stick with my decision. Sometimes, I give in to reason, but most of the time, I try and use my options first. Its not that I think other's options arent good as well, its just that I like to try my own approach before relying on someone else.<br/>Brief Bio: I started gaming when I was 6, beating Super Mario Bros for the NES on my 3rd try. After such, i started beating game after game, eventually calling myself the King of Games, until I met mjltiplayer. Now I am extremely good, mind you, as my Kd on most games never falls below 2, but I am definitely not the best. Up until 2 years ago, I didnt know what to call myself. Then I figured out that no matter what difficulty the game, I always found a way to beat it. I called myself the King Of Campaigns. It stuck even with my friends and I now even run a YouTube, constantly trying to better my own skills.<br/>Other: The whole know it all thing tends to get me both into and out of trouble. I can get extremely good at lying, but at the same time, I always start up arguments."

She enjoys reading, writing, and philosophy.<br/>Brief Bio: Face shown above. She dresses smart-casual, often wearing light sweaters over button-up shirts with a lighter-colored pair of jeans, and black flats.

</div><br/><br/>The smell of mould, concrete and rusty metal was at the forefront of her senses. The cell was concrete on the floor and three walls while the fourth wall was made of thick metal bars. Yes, she was in a cell, an ugly and boring one at that, but instead of being sad or even angry, she smiled. Her plan was going perfectly.<br/><br/>“She doesn’t exist in any records.” Bob the guard said when his guard buddy walked over.<br/>“What do you mean, does not exist?” Peter inquired gruffly and folded his arms as he stood in front of Bob.<br/>“As in, despite having a thumbprint, nothing matches. This girl has absolutely no name, no age, no family, no bank account, no nothing. She does not exist.”<br/>“Well, has anyone actually tried talking to her?”<br/>“Yes, but that’s just it, she won’t talk. She just… stares… Oh, but she did say one thing.”<br/>“What was it?”<br/>“Her name. She said her name is MindWarp.”<br/>“Ugh, so she’s a freak, like the rest of the crooks here.”<br/>“Seems like it. It’s a pity though. I would have liked to spend some alone time with her, she’s quite the looker. Not really big in the important areas.” Hands made a cupping motion to his chest and one to his behind. “But, I wasn’t really into the big and busty.”<br/>“Pfft, you’re a sicko. Anyway, I better be going, you know how strict the shift replacements are, don’t need a pay cut. See you tomorrow.”<br/>“Yeah, yeah you whipped dog you. Later dude.” The guard bid farewell to his workmate and began his duties. First things first. Inspection. With hand over gun and other hand holding a taser baton, he walked along the row of cells. The cells in this part of the prison were fairly low maintenance, they were old styled and the locks were manually opened with a key, instead of with a computer program and electricity.<br/><br/>It had been three days now and during MindWarp’s observations, one thing never changed. The guard swap. It happened every day, at the same time and with the same two guards. The two guards factored into her plans and it was only a few more hours until she could put her plan into motion. While the hours passed, she focused on a few other aspects of her plan, most importantly, the building schematics and the locations of a certain few people. They had been specially chosen for their… talents and MindWarp wanted all eleven of them.<br/><br/>Sitting straighter on her place on the tiny and itchy sheet cot, MindWarp closed her eyes and began the first stage of her plan. She created the illusion of Bob walking in for his shift swap with Peter.<br/>“You’re here early Bob.”<br/>“What do you mean? Dude, I am on time. Must be going blind in your old age.” It was a perfect rendition of Bob, accent, speech nuances and all. Plus to make things even more realistic, MindWarp illusioned a later time on the clock.<br/>“I could have sworn that the time was only… Uh, never mind. I am just glad that I can leave this horrible place. It’s just unfortunate that I still have to return tomorrow. Anyway I’ll be off now. Enjoy Bob.” He moved past the younger guard and closed the door behind himself. As soon as the door was closed, the illusion instantly disappeared. Half an hour later the real Bob showed up for the shift swap.<br/>“Oi, Peter! Where are you, you old man?!” He called out into the hall, lined with various cells. MindWarp grinned and started the second stage of her plan. She illusioned herself invisible and then created the image of Peter inside of her cell. ‘Peter’ pressed himself up against the bars. “Thank God Bob, quick get me out of here. The little minx pulled a smart one on me.” He exclaimed in anger.<br/>“She’s escaped? I need to sound the alarms.” Bob began to turn away but turned back when Peter yelled. “Wait! Sound those alarms and the both of us will be in for it. You for being late and me, well it’s pretty obvious. I know where she went, let’s just get her and pretend that this whole thing never happened.”<br/>“Sh(caution kiddies it’s a bad word. Close your eyes)it! You are right. Okay, let’s hurry.” Bob agreed with a slight snarl and got his keys. The cell door opened and Bob stepped inside to grab Peter and drag him out, however, his hand went right through and Peter vanished.<br/>“What the Fu-“ A hand suddenly went on his forehead and a shock filled his head, it was like a thousand lightning strikes directly in his brain and it was very painful. He thudded to the floor and looked up into the face of MindWarp, with her cold blue eyes and her frown. It was the last thing he saw before he blacked out.<br/><br/>MindWarp glared down at the unconscious body of the guard Bob and with a sneer she took his keys, then kicked him harshly in the side. She locked the door behind her and moved on to the third part of her plan.<br/><br/>((Go for it my lovelies. Create your first IC posts. I would like everyone to post one before I make my next post, Please and thank you.))"

""Poor fools,"" he says, working his way to his feet. ""They should know better than to keep people like us locked up. It's like pulling a ferocious animal out of the wild and sticking him in a zoo. If they get out, it'll be a bloodbath.""<br/><br/>Stationed outside of his cell, one of the two fully-armed guards sighs. ""Great,"" he mutters, ""he's going at it again."" The other guard, a young man who looked to be barely out of his teenage years, asks, ""He says this often?""<br/><br/>The older guard chuckles and says, ""Just about every day. I just don't see why they don't sedate him. Not only would he shut up, we'd be able to do things worth our time rather than stand here."" The younger guard suggests, ""Maybe he's not as dangerous as they tell us?"" The older guard turns to his colleague and says in a quiet voice, ""Tell that to the families of those he's slaughtered. To the wives he's widowed, the children he's orphaned. If you decide to do that, you'll have quite a job ahead of you...there are hundreds of them.""<br/><br/>Sitting in his cell, Ethan lets out a bark of laughter, hearing the two guards talk about his handiwork.

When I get out of here, I'll hunt each and every last one of you and make you watch as I slowly bleed your entire family dry...""<br/><br/>The young guard swallows nervously, but the older one only chuckles. ""Don't worry about him,"" he says. ""There's nothing he can do. What with the power dampener, straitjacket, and three-foot-thick steel walls, he can't get out. Even if he could, he'd still be outnumbered twenty-to-one. He wouldn't make it three feet without getting drilled full of holes.""<br/><br/>Ethan hears the man essentially say that it was impossible for him to get out, the thought making him chuckle. ""If only they know that the impossible doesn't exist, anymore,"" he mutters under his breath as he waits for his opportunity."

By this time the normal crimials had gotten used to it, and no llonger heard the cries of a woman none of them knew. The sound came so often now they'd come to overlook it, though none of them knew why she screamed every day. Behind the rows of cells, separated by a thick rock wall was the construction zone of highly personalized cells, for highly personalized type of inmates.<br/>The one in particular the screaming was coming from was a giant hexagon, made of stone and glass with viewing windows all around. The interior of the cell had one way mirrors lined all around it, and the screaming captive could only see her own reflection wherever she glanced.<br/><br/>Within, there was a specialized bed made without metal of any kind, and built entirely out of wood. A restroom, naturally... and in the center a metallic chair that looks only fit to be put in a dentists room. At the head of the chair, a long rope with semi conductive metallic properties tied to the inmates neck,. A metal collar, where the rope connected, was fitted tightly to the long slender neck and at every thirty minutes, dragged the inmate back into the chair where her hands were locked tightly and feet strapped in by metal bonds. From there the metal chair would fulfill its dire purpose. Essentially, the chair was a generator and the inmate a giant battery. The life force was sucked out of the womans body and then used to power the entire jail. Though her power was plentiful, it required more energy every thirty minutes to continue working.<br/><br/>The Warden at first deemed this practice of utilizing the womans powers inhumane. However, after a torrential rain by victims and city officials he had agreed to the practice and today admtis its the best thing he's ever done in terms of cutting electricity costs, and keeping the public safe. It was a win-win for those holding her. Free electricity, and a way to keep the inmates abilities so low constantly that she could not escape if she tried.<br/><br/>Now her screaming died down, and the woman whimpered slowly. As they did every time without her power, tears escaped her eyes and drool ran down her lips. The chair made a clicking sound, signalling it was done holding her back. Shakily, she sat up and spit up onto the floor, her tongue remedying looming taste of bile as it constantly did after she was pulled into the chair. More and more she found she hated it.... and even feared it. She had struggled to resist it multiple times, every time the collar on her neck pulled her toward with its damn rope, strangling her while pulling her backwards until she gave into the chair.<br/><br/>Limping weakly, the inmate pulled herself into her bed and closed her eyes, silently praying night would come soon, the only time the prison didn't need electricity so much and she was only pulled from slumber three times to give the prison a boost just in case it needed to kickstart again. But now, during the day Krystaal was constantly sickly, bile at the back of her throat ready to come out but never quite making it past her lips. She closed her eyes, rocking back and forth on the wooden bed as her black hair pressed to her foreheads cold sweat, wishing her sweep of illness to dissapear.<br/><br/>From up in the audience chamber, looking down through the one way mirrors on the side you could look through, the Warden made his rounds. He looked at his clipboard, findiing the name ""Marion Mirrors; Krystaal"" and checked it off. He smiled, folding his arms rather proud of the prison he had found such a way to keep public safety in. Why, they were even planning on giving him a medal for finding highly effective ways to keep this new era of 'supervillains' under lock and key. Mayor eat your heart out."

         Cheshire laid on her metal table, strapped to it with metal bands that were custom fit to her extremely curvaceous body. Her eyes were closed, but she was aware of the guard coming in. “Hey baby girl, time for your daily dose of vitamin D!” The guard said with a smirk, starting to unzip his pants before he heard the girl growl. He started to back up, knowing she had never done a thing like this before ever since she had come here after her capture. <br/><br/>She had been in a sleep-like state ever since she had killed 15 guards in the process of her first attempt to escape, and she had not moved a muscle or made a sound for exactly 3 years. So this, was extremely scary, even for the experienced guard. He froze though as the growl grew louder, his hands now covering his ears as it was echoing in the room. “No more Jonathan! I don’t want any more!” He heard a young girl cry out, soon an image blocking his view of everything in the room. <br/><br/>He saw an older man raping a young girl, who must’ve been his fiancé, because she had a ring on her ring finger. As the young girl pushed him away he was shoved into a wall, making him smirk as he rushed at her and tackled her back onto the bed. But then the door across from them burst open and the man was shot, the girl being taken away from the now dead rapist. But her fate had just become so much worse; she was strapped into a chair then poked with thousands of needles, was burned with chemicals, and was put into a test tube afterwards. But one day though the girl became the thing that was in the room with the terrified guard; The Cheshire Cat. <br/><br/>She was placed in a prison after they found her unable to comprehend the basics of humanity anymore, the padded room full of cat toys keeping her busy for many years. But then she broke out of the prison, thanks to her new teleportation powers, and went on a torturing spree until she was caught while torturing a male for almost murdering a woman. The images of him being tied up were thrown into the guards head, making him back into the corner as he saw her fill the tub he was in with scalding hot water which at first blistered every part of his skin except for his head. <br/><br/>She then drained the tub and filled it with dry ice, killing the man almost instantly which made her smile. But then there was a pinch on her arm, and she looked down to see it was a sleep dart. She fell to the floor unconscious, the guards loading her into a truck and taking her to the prison cell that she was in now. But the images of her other tortures ran through the guards head before he screamed and ran out of the room. <br/><br/><i>That’s right, run you bastard, go home to your mommy! But never forget the torture that awaits you! Never!</i> She said into his head, her laugh carrying inside of it till he was out of the building. The door had closed behind him unfortunately, which made her sigh internally. <i>God dammit…… Where the hell am I going to get an escape plan from? And where would I go after that?</i> Cheshire asked herself, sighing again and hoping for a miracle of someone saving her from this place.

That was all she could hear as she woke. That was all she had been able to hear for the past few months she had been trapped in here. Being deaf, was not a comforting thing to her. The idiots here made sure she wasn't able to hear anything by covering her ears with some sort of noise canceling ear-things. They made it so that any noise that was in the vicinity, was nullified. And if she even tried to remove them, she was given a very unpleasant zap of electricity. By doing this simple act, they rendered her powerless. Not only that, her cell was anechoic. The walls, floor, and ceiling were made out of 3.3 foot thick fiberglass wedges. Underneath them was a wall made out of insulated steel, and a foot of concrete. Suspended above the floor wedges was a metal grate, which was what she was currently standing on. Its what the bed, toilet, and anything else in the room was set on. This simple room design made any noise created in the room, fade into silence within seconds. Other than the bed, and the toilet, the only other thing not made out of the material was the cameras they used to watch her. Even the door to her cell was made in the anechoic style. From inside, you wouldn't even be able to tell where the door was. Alexis Sinclair, AKA Audiophile, was completely powerless in this room. She supposed that was supposed to make her scared. It didn't. It just made her angry.<br/><br/>She gave a somber sigh and sat up on her bed, and looked around the room. Having so little human contact for months on end would probably drive other people crazy. Fortunately for her, she had lost her metaphorical marbles long before she was stuffed in here. So instead of going crazy, She felt an unending, massive irritation and anger towards the bastards that locked her in here. Used to, her days were spent partying at a club, destroying a city block for the lulz, going to a rave, brutally killing someone just for fun, or even be a the best part time DJ this world had ever seen. Now, her days were filled with either pacing, standing around doing nothing, sitting in a corner of her room like a helpless little kid, and fantasizing about all she would do to the people in this place. It reminded her too much of the time when she was trapped in that research facility. That was a huge mistake these assholes had made.<br/><br/>There was little she could do about it now, however. As long as she was rendered deaf and was stuck in this anechoic chamber, she could hardly resist them, let alone break out. At least for now. They would slip up eventually. When they did, she would make them<i>suffer</i>for this. Each and everyone of them. And if she ever got her hands on the warden...oh now that would be<i>fun</i>. She couldn't help but to giggle madly at the things she was going to do to him. First, off would come his ears. Then, she wondered how well he would handle having his limbs slowly cut off. Oh but she couldn't do it all here. No, she would have to kidnap him and take him somewhere more...private, to have her fun with him. No sense in sticking around here and getting caught while she was busy having her fun with the man.<br/><br/>The thought of escaping and torturing the warden of this prison until he was nothing but a husk of his former self was the only thing that kept her going while she was trapped in here. She sat against her bed, and began to laugh madly at the mere thought of it. It would happen. It would. She would escape, and he would suffer. She just needed to wait. Yes, wait. They would slip up, and she would tear all of them to tiny little bloody pieces."

Sarah Covenry lived in a world of glass. She was a princess in a crystalline castle. A single minute room, a cell with walls like a fish tank. Unfortunately, there was little to see. Behind all walls but one was simply a swathe of electric lights, bank after bank of light emitting diodes that could, she supposed, rival the output of the sun!. Sitting in her cushioned cot in her bright orange jumpsuit Sarah changed the channel on her television, nothing live of course- and never the news, but plenty of mindless drivel to occupy an eternity. Sarah supposed it wasn't so bad, especially compared to the cells of many of the others. She had a shower, a comb, few cushions and a clicker for the television. So long as she didn't try and summon any darkness she was comfortable. If she did, those banks of lights would brighten to counter anything she did. She'd tried to fight it in the beginning but that much light created a lot of heat and she'd passed out from the effort, covered in sweat, barely being able to breathe from the stifling sauna that her cell had become.<br/><br/>She was bored, so very bored. Sure she had television and books and the food was somewhat decent compared to a life of fast food but a lack of variety grew stale no matter how good one had it. Tapping one bare foot against the plastic floor she hummed along to a music video she was watching and watched the guard stride past. She sometimes talked to the guards, even though she wasn't supposed to, just for a change of pace. Several times she'd opened the top of her jump suit and shoved her bare bosom in their faces just to break the monotony. That had been a mistake and she had regretted it. The jibes and taunts she'd received since had been scathing. They also didn't bother averting their eyes when she showered behind the completely transparent curtain. Thankfully she hadn't done anything more. Who knew what they'd do if she'd done something more lewd.<br/><br/>Creating a small shadow puppet in her hand, Sarah winced slightly as the lights fluoresced. This was the best she could do. Anything more and the lights would become painfully bright. Not that she could see a use for it. She'd tried making a crowbar but she had nowhere near the strength necessary to use it. No, she was well and truly stuck. She only hoped that one of the other inmates had allies outside. All she needed was a power outage, anything to shut off the automatic lights and then she'd be out."

Victor's cell was made out of a metal that was designed to negate any kinetic energy forced into it. The entire cell was spartan with absolutely no furnishings, just Victor and the four walls that surrounded him. The man continued his zen-like breathing gazing at the passing guards the way a lion eyes it's prey. These men were weak government lapdogs, if they didn't have their badges and states to hide behind Victor would have ripped them limb from limb.<br/><br/>It had been five days since Victor's last attempted escape, a new guard had arrived who wasn't savvy to the exact nature of Victor's powers. Victor had asked the man for some 'light reading' the naive sentry had obliged giving Victor a hardback copy of Lord of the Flies. Victor had proceeded to repeatedly hit himself with the tome until the energy from these blows was enough to sever the door of the cell from it's hinges and annihilate the guard leaving his mangled remains at the entrance of the cell. This freedom was short lived when several mechanized officers were able to take advantage of Victor's weakened state and he was herded back in to his cell.<br/><br/>The guards would often look at Victor but the most he would do is raise a single middle finger, he wasn't going to submit to their supposed authority, none of them could defeat him in one on one combat. Occasionally a guard would read Victor a letter from his sister Alice, he had originally joined the military to pay for his sister's tuition and while she was now in the running for a nobel prize for physics, Victor was stuck in prison after a military experiment turned sour. Ever since his experience in the army he has resented authority preferring to rely on his own strenght than any supposed state, the only people he needs to care for are himself and Alice.<br/><br/>Rising to his feet Victor began his daily ritual of cursing at the guards and pounding furiously against the walls of his cell."

He looked forward to seeing the egg on the Mayors face more than the award itself. As he perused his list he saw with some satisfaction Dmitri Jager: ""Dr."" Gheist was next on his list one of the more entertaining stops he got to make.<br/><br/>He turned a corner and walked to what seemed like a dead end but in the middle of the wall was a small window with four holes beneath it. Peering through the window The Warden saw Dmitri strapped to his usual slab angled to face the window, his eyes checked the IV connected to Dmitri's neck feeding him a slightly more than healthy dose of sedatives. ""Open it"" The warden commanded and the guards nodded and turned to a small door just to the left of the window opening it they retrieved an odd looking device on wheels with four heavy tines on its front. The machines tines slotted into the holes on the wall perfectly and when activated the machine began whirring and lifted the section of wall and moved it backwards and off to the side.<br/><br/>The Warden strode into the cell with an air of arrogant confidence. ""Well Mr. Jager how do you like your new cell?"" he said gesturing to the mostly empty room. ""I must say Dr. Lawson has outdone himself with this one"" The warden continued gesturing to the slab suspended by the machine. ""How do you hold a man who can rewire almost anything?"" The warden asked rhetorically ""You don't give him the chance!"" he answered himself a large smile on his face. ""Dr, Lawson said it was ""Owens Shaver"" or something like that, Anyway I do hope you enjoy your new accommodations ""Doctor"" "" the warden called as he turned to leave.<br/><br/>""Ocums... Rashure"" Dmitri slurred raising his head and focusing his bloodshot grey eyes on the Warden. The Warden turned just at the entrance of the cell and asked ""What did you just say?""<br/><br/>""It's Occam's Razor...You Idiot"" Dmitri managed to spit out. The Warden looked a little put off but quickly brushed it aside and exited the cell. As the slab was placed back into its spot by the machine the warden turned to one of the guards and said ""I want you to tell Medical to up Mr. Jager's Dosage"". The guard nodded and marched off as the Warden checked Dmitri's name off his list and continued his rounds."

No, hers looked more like a dungeon one would find in a castle during medieval times. It was primitive with the exception of a new glass wall separating Veronica from the bars of her cell. Last time she had managed to pick the lock but she was quickly caught. She was in her cot quite bored out of her mind. There was no technology that Veronica could use or manipulate in order to get herself out, let alone entertain herself. Without technology, she was just as powerful as your average Jane Doe. She looked at the guards who stood outside of her cell, and she heard them speak, despite the glass wall.<br/><br/>The guards looked to each other after looking at Veronica and the smaller guard asked ""So…that's the quarantined Virus? She seems much more…human and calm than every other prisoner here,""<br/>The other guard nodded and said ""Yeah. But don't let that fool you. She's a genius. The moment you let her anywhere near a computer or any machine in general, and you're done for, either by her hand or by someone else's,""<br/>The smaller guard mumbled ""Scary…!""<br/>The other guard replied ""What do you expect?

She shook her head at them silently, plotting of another way to get out. Unlike the other villains here, she hadn't exactly lost her marbles, so she wasn't too excited about killing just as everyone else is here. Instead, she was just numb.

She dropped to the ground and whimpered softly whenever this happened, since so many objects equals a 'brain overload' and causes massive pain for her. That's why she never tried to do it again. The only things that ever stayed were the basic cell items. Cot, toilet, all those basic needs for your average prisoner. A mechanical claw hung itself from the ceiling, right next to the small cell suspended there. If only she was a little taller, she would be able to reach her dear purple eye and try to escape.<br/><br/>She didn't remember how exactly she had got here, though. She had probably went on a rampage and killed a few people.What she didn't know, was that a group of people, probably a gang, had pissed her off. In a couple of minutes, they were all mangled corpses on the floor. About 6 men were killed that day. If she had continued, she could of wiped out the street if not careful. The only bit she remembered before finding her cell was being dragged away by two men, who were most likely the ones who put her into this situation.<br/><br/>Speaking of guards, they tended to ignore her a lot. Maybe it was because she was weak, maybe a different reason, but she didn't care much. She could still converse with her purple eye, who would often reply in little screeches, as to not activate the mechanical arm that would harshly grab it. At least she still had her company. She sat on her cot and leaned back and forth, not really taking any notice to the world. She had wished to escape, but there was no use trying. It would only work if she got pissed off, which was pretty hard to do right now. She sighed and closed her eyes. She had got bored and decided to read the list of objects seen up to this day. Her only wish was to escape, but it would never be fulfilled. Or at least, that's what she thought."

The room whirled, spinning in time with his movements. He breathed slowly, controlling every breath- conserving every movement. He gritted his teeth, and moved faster. His limbs were blurred, each action methodical and thought out. His eyes narrowed, watching imaginary enemies fall to every move. He remembered this. How he’d loved the thrill of battle, the meeting of opponents on the field. That moment when he stared into the enemy’s eyes and knew that one of them wasn’t going to leave alive. When he got to see which of the two of them was truly deserving of life.<br/><br/>He remembered fighting shoulder-by-shoulder with his comrades, his family. He knew every one of those faces; they had been his friends, those he trusted with his life. Those he trusted to stand and die with him. And the man he trusted most, who he always gave the most important tasks to- who he even planned their battles with- standing by his side. Samuel.<br/><br/>Thane turned and punched the wall with all his strength. The sound of his impact reverberated throughout the row of cells he was in. A grim smile slowly plastered itself on his face.<br/><br/>Jacob Oliver Constantine, codename: Thane, stood up and loosened his muscles. The time had nearly arrived. He’d felt it a few months ago, in his gut. It was deep, and certain. He would be a free man soon. He was going to get out of this cesspit. He didn’t know how, he didn’t know when. But it would happen.<br/><br/>That was why he’d been practising sword fighting for months, every moment of every waking hour. That was why he’d been exercising, moving, getting used to the body he was in. Because, before he’d been thrown into this hellish prison, he’d been severely weakened. Limiters had been placed on his cybernetics, disrupting the flow of thought to them. He had moved slowly, difficultly, without any strength. It had been a humiliating experience for him.<br/><br/>So he had moved faster. And it had been painful, mind-numbingly so. Limiters were designed to stop you from moving quickly; acting against them had been agonising. But he had carried on, out of sight of the guards. And slowly, ever so slowly, his mind began to re link with his cybernetics. He began to move normally again. He began to fight back against the limiters.<br/><br/>And now, finally, he was nearly complete. After months of work, he felt normal again, able to move without the constraints of man-made dampeners or human flesh. He hadn’t been noticed. No one was supposed to be able to fight the limiters. No one expected anyone to. And besides, Jacob was not considered the highest of threats; take away his sword, and he became nothing but a normal man. A normal,<i>cyborg</i>man.<br/><br/>He turned back to his prison and sat down on the concrete floor. His cell was extremely Spartan .He wasn't allowed any furniture; it was deemed too dangerous- after all, a bedframe could be turned into a sword, if you squinted at it. Unfortunately, this included entertainment. There were no televisions or radios in Jacob’s cell. But if he was honest with himself, Thane didn't mind the austerity of his room. It provided no distractions. It kept him focused on escaping.<br/><br/>Jacob clenched his fist. He got up, and began practising fencing again, moving faster and faster and faster. Soon he would be out of here. Soon he would be in the fresh air again. Soon he would be fighting."

AKA. Virus. Yes, the girl was going to be a vital part of her… team. MindWarp illusioned herself once again as Bob and zeroed in on the cell that contained Virus. Two guards were stationed at the girls door, but that issue was an easy fix. ‘Bob’ casually walked up to them.<br/>“Bob? What’re you doing here? You are meant to be on duty on section 1.” The taller of the two guards pointed out with a frown.<br/>“Oh man, relax! You are such a stick in the mud.” ‘Bob,’ waved a hand dismissively and continued to walk closer. “I know just the thing to help you relax, though I should warn you, it’s a little shocking at first.” The illusion stayed in place even when MindWarp placed her hands on the two guard’s foreheads. Seconds later they fell down unconscious.<br/><br/>Next, MindWarp unlocked the cell door and allowed the face of Bob to vanish and reveal her own face. Looking at Virus who was on the cot, MindWarp smirked. “Hello Miss Virus. Today is your lucky day. Freedom is yours if you choose to accept one little condition.” She paused for effect, “Join me. I am making a team and you my lovely dear are quite important. The main security room is close by, I’ll take out the guards and then you will be free to work your magic on the security system. What say you?”"

She opened her eyes from their meditative closure and she sat up to look, and sate her curiosity as to who was coming. She saw that it was another guard, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Why was there another guard in front of her cell? Every day, it's only been two guards. Two guards were always enough to the people who ran this place. She then watched as 'Bob', spoke to the other guards and mentioned getting them to relax. She watched as this 'Bob' character suddenly placed his hands on the guard's foreheads and they suddenly fell unconscious. Veronica connected the logical dots and she stood up off of her cot, readying herself for anything, in case the man in front of her wished her ill or harm.<br/><br/>'Bob's' face suddenly changed to show a woman's face and Veronica remained silent as this woman spoke from the other side of the glass that separated the bars from the cell room that Virus was standing in. Despite the fact that this woman somehow reminded Veronica of Wolfram, the promise of freedom was very enticing. Plus there was also the fact that she gets to mess with the security system of this place! Take revenge, get freedom, and repay the woman in front of her in return. This was a perfect opportunity, and Veronica was not going to skip out on it! Veronica smirked her own smirk and she said ""I say I accept...you have my services…Madam,"" Honestly, Virus thought 'Madam' was the most polite term she could use, since she didn't know who this woman was, or what her name is.<br/><br/>She then said ""There's still this wall that needs to be taken care of,"""
12683,"Villains ""R"" Us: Inauguration",IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18321-villains-r-us-inauguration,['Casual'],2014-03-14 07:44:00,Absolute Grace,"Those were the words MindWarp wanted to hear. As for the glass wall problem, well, if the guards of this cell were anything like the guards at her cell, the key would be on their person. Moving back to the unconscious guards, MindWarp rummaged through their pockets and eventually found a key for the glass. Next was finding where it was to be inserted. She found a small metal box right next to the glass wall and flipped open the lid to reveal a keyhole. Inserting the key and turning it to the left, had the glass wall making a hissing sound before it rolled open.<br/><br/>“Now that that’s taken care of, let us journey to the security room where you will have free reign with the system. But first, your disguise.” With barely even a blink MindWarp created the illusion of Virus being another security guard, one of the two who were currently unconscious. Speaking of which, MindWarp with the help of Virus, dragged the two guards into the cell and locked them in, before setting out down the hallway.<br/><br/>Once they reached the door to the security room, MindWarp motioned to Virus to stay back while she just walked right into the room, closing the door behind her. Mere seconds later, shouts were heard and then sudden silence. MindWarp opened the door and allowed Virus to enter. Inside, the back wall was covered in various screens with a control panel placed right in front of it. As for the supposed guards who had shouted, they were nowhere in sight. However, the small broom closet was most likely the place where the bodies had been stored and the door blocked by a chair.<br/><br/>“Before I allow you total free reign, there are a few things I would like you to do. First, hack into the security footage tapes and replace today’s memory with a copy of the memory from two days ago. Second, lock all main entrances into the building. Third, set all alarms to sound in exactly 60 minutes and delay any alarms that sound before the 60 minutes. Now in about… say… ten minutes? The main power will go out, but the generator will kick in, three minutes after that. Makes sure all three of my requests are still in place and then you will be free to do as you please.” All of it was said quite tonelessly as MindWarp merged into a focused and determined demeanour."

Soon enough, the glass wall opened, and Veronica stepped out from behind it and stood to face the woman when she spoke. When the woman mentioned the disguise, Virus looked at herself to see the illusion the woman set up, and she commented, ""Fascinating,"" She then helped the woman drag the two guards into the prison, before they started down their journey down the hallway to the security room. Once there, Virus followed the woman's order to stay outside as she handled the security guards that were in the room. When she was given the word, Virus entered the room. The room looked like a gold mine to Virus with all of the computers and a large master computer at the front.<br/><br/>Soon the woman was speaking again, telling her what needed to be done (obviously for the jailbreak plan to be a success). When the woman was done, Virus answered her with the same tone as she had used, ""Understood. What you wish for will be accomplished in three minutes,"" She then headed up to the master computer and sat in the chair and got to work after cracking her fingers. She typed away, her fingers becoming nothing more than a furious blur. Virus had a grin on her face as she did her work and she commented laughing ""Aww! They call this a firewall? How adorable. It's pathetic!"" She continued away, and she was fast enough for her benefactor to see that Virus did as the woman wished. She replaced today's security footage with the one from two days ago, locked all of the main entrances of the building, and set all of the alarms to sound in an hour (delaying any alarm that would sound before then). As much as Virus would love to have pulled a prank, a jailbreak was not the best time for such a thing.<br/><br/>Virus stood up and said to the woman ""It is done,"" She thought of what to do, and she gained an idea. She could stay and help this woman by keeping an eye on the security footage and give the woman any heads up for any unforeseen obstacles, but that would require a cell phone or something like that. Or she could go with the woman so she can disable or unlock any devices. She asked the woman in all seriousness ""Would you rather have me accompany you, or stay here and keep an eye on security footage Madam?"""

She had heard about Virus’ prowess in all things computers and mechanics, but seeing her in action in real life was really quite amazing. The tasks that MindWarp had given her were completed in almost no time at all.<br/><br/>“You need not call me madam, Virus. I am simply MindWarp.” She said with her arms crossed over her chest then tilted her head in a motion towards the door.<br/><br/>“Once the power is out, utter chaos will ensue. If you think you are capable of dealing with such a situation then you are welcome to find some sort of a portable device and follow me. I’ll try my best to keep you unharmed, but you must stick close and do what I say or I will lose a good asset.” Came the monotonous warning and yes, Virus had been classified as an asset, however, it came in the form of an endearment, not an insult.<br/><br/>“One of the drawers might have a mobile phone and possibly a handgun, if it’ll make you feel better about having one on hand, in case of any… unforeseen circumstances.” Despite MindWarps plan’s, anything could go wrong and that fact needed to be understood. “If you are coming, then I am leaving now.

She started to feel sleepy, and a yawn could be heard in Victor's mind, but even when she was asleep there was now a connection between them that could even be broken by death. That's how strong her telepathy was, but even she did not know that herself. She thought of herself as a good villain, but nothing as great as per say the Joker.

A mistimed hop, however, sends him spilling to the ground, making him crack his head on the cold steel floor. However, the pain doesn't register in his mind, evident in the way he somehow manages to work himself back up to his feet and, blood running freely down his face, staining his straitjacket, continues to hop around, his fractured mind wandering back to the time when he was finally captured.<br/><br/><i>Three years ago, in a small town in the mountains, sixteen-year-old Ethan Taylor was walking home from school. This was before he lost his mind, back when he was just a normal, kind-hearted kid who happened to have a special talent, although no one knew about it, other than his parents and himself.<br/><br/>It was a good day; School had served his favorite lunch, he aced his physics test (barely), and he finally got up the guts to ask his childhood friend out on a date. Imagine his surprise when she said 'yes.' Anyhow, on his way home, he had stopped off at the local convenience store and bought himself a bottle of strawberry milk. It was when he turned back towards the exit that a couple of squad cars tore down the street. It was then that the first red flag, although it was small at the time, went up in his mind, Ethan having noticed that they were heading in the same direction he would go to head home. Shrugging it off as coincidence, he shoulders his backpack and exits the store.<br/><br/>The second red flag came when an ambulance screamed past, heading in the same direction as the squad cars. Watching it turn down the street, he began to feel a cold seed of dread take root in his chest, but he continues brushing it off, although it was getting harder and harder to do so. Now jogging, he runs up tot he end of the block and turns, feeling that seed erupt into a full-grown tree of despair.<br/><br/>Halfway down the street, where he would normally see his mother waiting patiently for him while his dad was inside, working on renovating their home before work, which he had been doing for the past two weeks. Now, crowding the street in front of his home, were a few squad cars and a couple of ambulances, all with lights flashing while a group of bystanders watch on, their morbid human curiosity for what was happening overriding any sense of respect. As Ethan watched, his milk falling from his hand as his bag slips, unnoticed, from his shoulder, a couple of paramedics bring out the first stretcher, upon which lies the body of one of his parents, a white sheet draped over their body and a circle of crimson where their head is.<br/><br/>As the second body is brought out, Ethan could swear he heard something inside of him snap. The world fell away as a low rumbling began to fill the air, the bystanders crying out in alarm as the ground begins shaking beneath their feet. A low laugh then begins to sound from Ethan's mouth as his sanity, in one fell swoop, shattered as easily as a china plate dropped from the top of a skyscraper...</i><br/><br/>As Ethan, now codenamed Bacchus, continues to hop around, his whistling morphing from the song about the unfortunate sailor to one about a woman who lost a sheep, he remembers that first spark of amusement when he began tearing that idiotic group of spectators apart as easily as if they were made of wet tissues. He also remembers the sting of the electrified bullet that had slammed into his shoulder, sending him to the ground after he had already killed off an easy 90% of his town's population and the law enforcement agencies that had come in an attempt to stop him. He also remembers the strange, unsettling feeling of sorrow as he looked into the tear-streaked face of Anna, the girl he was supposed to go to the movies with that weekend, as she screamed how much she hated him.<br/><br/>However, all of that may as well have happened in another life. Now, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. All that matters to him is when he can finally get out of his box and massacre anyone standing in his way."

Young Victor Slate, fresh out of the military was expecting a hero's greeting from his sister, the optimistic all-american lad who had shipped away returned a grizzled anarchist with unimaginable powers. However as he stepped off the plane there was no one to greet him, not a single family member to welcome their lost son home. Travelling to where Alice used to live he found new tenants living in the house that gave him a note from his sister. 'Victor, you're too dangerous to be around now, your powers could threaten my privacy and the life of your newborn nephew Jonathan, I'll tell him his uncle was a hero. Please try and make something of yourself - Alice.' The letter destroyed Victor, he had gone to the military to help his sister stay afloat and now it was all in vain, well now Victor was looking out for himself.<br/><br/>Victor began to abuse his powers using them to tear open bank vaults as if they were paper, getting stronger with every bullet fired at him. Victor would blow most of his earnings in underground games of high stakes poker with other criminals however he would always send a small part of his earnings to his sister's account despite all the conflict between them.<br/><br/>Eventually one heist went down under when the police sedated him using a gas based anesthetic when victor came back around he was being carted into his cell, and so began a week long conflict with several casualties all in the name of getting Victor into his cell. Slowing his pounding on the walls Victor heard an unfamiliar voice within his head. The power dampeners must be down was Victor's first thought, not that it would help as the very material Victor's cell was made from negated his powers. 'Just because I'm weakened doesn't mean I couldn't take half of these folks on...You have a thing for yarn don't you? Why can't anyone just be sane anymore?... As for an escape now you're talking my language, I just need someone to open the door of my cell from the other side and this place will be rubble... They've got you on the meds too huh...Well sweet dreams I guess...' Victor felt strange having a telepath in his head but it was the first conversation he'd had in some time."

The one with the best DJ in the entire downtown city area. Said DJ, was currently seated in the VIP section, dressed in her usual attire with her DJ glasses and headphones, with her arms wrapped around two of the clubs sexiest women on either side of her, and two of the hottest guys next to them, ready to do anything she ordered. Men were such easy puppets. Show them a little skin, flirt with them, and they'd do anything you want. She pretty much owned this club, even if she wasn't the official owner. That was her 'business partner'. She was currently here just for a bit of relaxation and fun with the ladies and gents. A break from the usual killing, destroying, murdering, and other fun stuff. Which is why she was here, it was her, base of operations, if you will.<br/><br/><b>""So, ladies...</b> She said to the women currently flanking her. <b>""Why don't I go give both you you girls a private show?

At first, the bouncer tried to push him away, but unfortunately for her, Alexis recognized him. It was Sal, her 'business partner'. She waved him in and motioned for him to take a seat. The new Bouncers must not have received information on who he was yet. <b>""Yo audio, damn awesome party tonight, like always.</b> Sal said, as he finished the last of his drink and sat it on the table.<br/><br/><b>""Whatever, Sal, this had better be good.

He knew very well who he was dealing with. <b>""R-right, sorry, but I need to talk to you in private.""</b> He nervously replied.

She decided she would humor him, however.<br/><br/><b>""Sorry ladies, but looks like this is gonna have to wait a bit.</b> She said with a sigh before giving both of them a small kiss. She stood from her seat, and gave Sal another glare, before motioning for him to move. The two of them made their way to the back offices, before Sal could lead her to where she wanted to go, however, she stopped him.

The sound wave hit Sal, and sent him through the wall into the room behind him.<br/><br/>Alexis walked over to where he landed, and placed a foot on his neck. Before she could get any further, however, a group of soldiers burst into the room, and had her surrounded within seconds. <b>""Ah, see, you did try to cross me. Sal, that's not good for your health.</b> The soldiers ordered her not to move, but since when had she ever done anything she had been told? By now, some dubstep was playing from her headphones, which were currently hanging around her neck and sending sound waves out into the room. <b>""Oh this is going to be fun.""</b> She giggled with a sadistic grin. Before any of the soldiers could even react, with a single hand motion a razor sharp blade made of sound waves smashed into a group of the soldiers, sending them through the wall behind them. Another group began to open fire, but their bullets harmlessly bounced off a field of vibrating sound waves. <b>""Is that the best you pathetic people have? Guns, against me, really?</b> The other soldiers fell easily, after that. It was a laughable, attempt, or so she thought. Just as she was leaving to go back to the ladies she was going to make plans with, there was a prick in her side, an Sal was shakily standing, a gun in his hand, and a tranquilizer dart stuck right in her side. She soon slumped to the ground, unconscious, but not before giving Sal the most evil look she could muster. She later awoke in this chamber, and she had been locked in here ever since then. </i><br/><br/>She stood in the center of her room, quietly. Her anger and rage returning at remembering what had happened. A grin slowly spread its way across her face, Sal. Sally Sal. Little old Sal.

It was really too easy. The prison staff were all too sure that the facility was inescapable. Never in their wildest dreams would they believe a jail break to be possible. They grew lax in their assuredness and MindWarp used this to her advantage. However, that wasn’t all that she used to her advantage. It was almost midnight, which meant that the security was low.<br/><br/>Arriving in an audience chamber, MindWarp looked through the window and to the huddled form of another of her targets. 25 year old Marion Mirrors.

What kind of justice was that?<br/><br/>Turning to her companion, Virus, MindWarp gave a single nod. “Deactivate it and get the door open.” Came the simple request. For once the life mooching device was down for the count, the collar around the young lady’s neck would release.

Seconds later, the cell door opened with a drawn out hiss. Not bothering to move, MindWarp regarded Krystaal with a slight frown.

On the outside, MindWarp was indifferent, but on the inside, she was angry. Quite angry. Just then, the main power went out and only red blackout lights remained on. Another illusion was created, this one made to scare. The form of the guard began to change. His skin literally melted away so that only a skeleton remained. The skeletal guard turned his head a full turn and the hollow black depths of his eyes stared at Krystaal. ”Naughty, naughty, naughty.” It sang in a broken voice.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Krystaal was blown back, but instead of hitting a glass wall, she landed in a stone support beam. It was due to a psionic shockwave caused by MindWarp. A second one was prepped and ready in case it was needed. The second one would cause partial paralysis. “That was not nice.” MindWarp said from her place still at the doorway and removed all illusions."

Seriously, they could at least give her a Gameboy or something...as long as she had these glorified earplugs on, she wasn't much of a threat to them. She was deaf, so she was pretty much useless, which only served to make her more angry at them. If they wanted her to behave, then they'd just leave her alone and let her have her fun. Of course they wouldn't do that because they wouldn't know a good time if it bit them in the ass. She groaned and leaned backwards, her back hitting the metal mesh with a low rattling noise that was quickly absorbed by the anechoic chamber.<br/><br/>She stared at the ceiling, stewing in her own anger and frustration. She had to get out of here. Fuck waiting. She had waited long enough for her escape. She needed to get out of here.<b>""Out...I need to get <i>out</i>""</b>she bolted to her feet, eyeing each of the walls of her cell. She had to get out of here.<b>""Out out out out...Where's the door...""</b>By now, she was obviously loosing it, or what little of it she had left. This wasn't an uncommon occurrence for her. Despite her ability to pass as a relatively sane individual if she wanted too, that act was easily broken most of the time from the simplest of things. Before she was degraded into a fit of incoherent ramblings and anger, suddenly, she found herself in pitch darkness. She was slightly confused for a second, before she jumped to the conclusion that she had been blinded.<b>""Oh come on, now i'm blind?!</b>She whined<b>""What kinda shitty joke-</b>Before she could finish that sentence, however, red blackout lights flashed on, filling the room with an eerie light. She took a look around the room.<b>""...oh, hehe.""</b><br/><br/>Obviously something was wrong here. The lights just went out. Was it just the lights, or the power? Not that it really mattered. She was stuck here regardless. She growled and fell to the mesh floor, causing it to rattle.<b>""Wonder if some lucky bastard-.</b>she didn't finish that sentence, because for the first time in months, she thought she heard something. She looked down at the mesh floor, and stood. Yes...yes, she was sure. She heard it. A faint rattling. But...just to be sure, she jumped, causing the metal mesh to rattle quite violently. A sadistic grin began to form across her face. If these earplugs were connected to the prisons main power without any sort of power of their own.<b>""Oh this....this is going to be <i>fun</i>.""</b>First thing first though. She could hear again, meaning she could fight again, but she had to get these damned earplugs off before she could do it effectively.<br/><br/>She placed a hand on one of the earplugs, and gave it an experimental tug. She wasn't exactly sure how it was connected, but she didn't care. It didn't try to give her an unpleasant zap, so getting it off would be easy. She pulled on the one on her right, and it gave her no small amount of resistance and gave her a small twinge of pain that she easily ignored, and With a little more effort, it finally popped free. The left one followed suit seconds after. After she was finally free of her bonds, She couldn't help but to do a little victory dance.<b>""I can finally hear agaaaaain!""</b>she girlishly giggled as she twirled in place. Her exuberance didn't last long though, as she had business to take care of.<br/><br/>She stopped mid twirl and faced one of the walls, arms reaching out towards the far walls. She took a deep breath then exhaled. Despite this being an Anechoic chamber designed to damped noise within the room, sound was still created before it was lost. It couldn't just stop the creation of sound waves, still, might as well start her escape....with a bang. A loud bang.<br/><br/>In each of her hands, she grasped the soundwaves that the room was generating. They were weak, and what she was about to do would consume a good portion of her own energy to amplify them to the levels that were needed to blow a whole in these walls. clear, white, orbs that were impossible for normal humans to see began to collect in each of her hands, slowly growing larger as she amplified their power to destructive levels. She brought them together, merging them into one causing their power to amplify even further. Soon, it was ready. A loud whip-crack like noise reverberated throughout the room as the destructive energy was released.<br/><br/>The sound waves rushed at the walls, completely obliterating the anechoic fiberglass wedges, and severely damaging everything else in the room. The walls to the cell didn't fare much better. The door was the first to go, being shot out like a cannon, crushing two or three guards beneath it. The walls, resisted, but soon gave way in some areas, debris shooting out at high velocities towards the walls of whatever room was on the other side of hers. Even the roof to her cell was blasted open from the blast, sending a cloud of dust into the air. The sonic blast continued throughout the prison wherever it could find an opening, destroying anything it touched. She quietly took a look at her handiwork from where she stood.<br/><br/><b>""Oh that felt <i>good</i>.</b>She gave a happy sigh, but it only lasted seconds. It was quickly replaced by a sadistic grin as she quickly walked through one of the holes her blast had created, into one of the adjacent cells.<b>""Guess what bitches! Audiophile is back! And I, am going to kill every. Single. One of you.""</b>"

She slowly opened her eyes, her mind racing as the room was fading in and out of a complete and utter darkness. ""W-What's going on? Is this a dream?"" She managed to mumble, but it came out more like a whisper. She tried to sit up, but her body was just too tired to do anything at all, and even her eyes were having a hard time of staying open. She tried to pull out one of the needles but it only pierced into her bone, making her scream out in pain. Her breath had become very rapid and her heart was racing at the speed of light, looking around for possible instructions on how to take the stupid needles out. She found a booklet on a table, reaching for it but her body couldn't move too far. ""God..... Dammit!""

It was nearly time; he could sense it inside him. He was so close now to being a free man again. Then he could make his way back to the top. Power and glory would be his, he knew it. He would force the universe to give it to him, if he had to. And then he would have his revenge.<br/><br/>He would hunt Samuel down and fight him. Then they would see who was the strongest, the most deserving of their respective fates. He would punish him for his betrayal, and for the lives he had ended- the blood he had spilled. Their last fight had been dishonourable, and dishonour could not be tolerated. Jacob would fight Samuel even if it ended in his death. He owed it to his soldiers.<br/><br/>Jacob clenched his fist, and punched the wall a second time. There was a satisfying crunch, and cracks appeared in the wall. He pounded again, and again, and again, getting faster and stronger each time. He raised his fist in preparation of a blow that would shake the walls of his cell when the lights went out. He smiled- this would be the start of his escape, he knew. Then he felt it. A burst of adrenaline surged through his body- something fundamental had changed in the air. His eyes widened in alarm. He had only felt this a few times in his life.<br/><br/>He leaped away from his door and had just enough time to curl up into a ball before all hell broke loose. A huge shockwave of energy blew apart the walls to his cell and sent his door careening into the spot he had occupied mere moments before. He was blasted into the back wall of his cell, barely able to withstand the forces at work. Rubble pounded into him, covering him in dust and ash. Thane stared at the ceiling, stunned. He snapped back to reality and slowly stood up, brushing himself off as he did so. Through the swirling dust he made out a hulking figure, who moved towards the now extremely surprised (and exceptionally unlucky) guards. Thane turned back to his cell, and grinned.<br/><br/>Holding a long metal strip of shrapnel, Jacob rushed into the corridor. He dove into a guard, smashing him against the wall. He punched him in the face, killing him instantly. Rising, he span and shouldered into an advancing guard. He slashed at his stomach and then left him to die by the wall. He ran up to a third guard, and kicked him in the chest- hard. As the guard keeled over in agony, Thane swiped with his metal ribbon. The guards head went sailing over him, and arc of blood following. Thane followed it with his eyes, and then turned towards the last guard. She backed away in terror, pushing herself up against the wall.<br/><br/>‘What did we ever do to you? We were just doing our jobs! No, please, I don’t want to die, not yet. Please…I’m so…I haven’t…even…’ she trailed off. She stared at Jacob’s bloody strip of metal. ‘What did I do wrong,’ she whispered to herself. Jacob crouched down and stabbed the make-shift sword deep into her heart with exact precision. As blood seeped across the floor towards him, Thane leant to the dying guards ear.<br/><br/>‘You didn’t fight well enough.’<br/><br/>Thane stood up and turned to the corridor. He joined the hulking figure from before, who had taken care of the rest of the guards.<br/><br/>‘Well. It seems as if we have an opportunity. Shall we escape, together?’ Thane turned towards the open door. Freedom beckoned."

The sensation was so sudden that it made his legs go weak, which almost caused him to fall face-first once more. However, he manages to catch himself, chuckling lowly as he starts straining against his straitjacket. The room begins to tremble with what was going on outside, but as well as what was going on inside; a great, screeching sound can be heard as the earth underneath the floor of his cell begins to shift and press against the steel slab beneath his feet.<br/><br/>With a loud rending of metal, a large, stone spike erupts from the ground, close enough to Ethan to tear a large hole down the middle of his straitjacket, freeing him. As the restraint falls from his body, he chuckles as he breaks a piece of the spike off. ""That's better,"" he says, dropping the spike. Using his power over earth, he accelerates the chunk enough to break the chain between his ankles. Turning to the door, he clenches his fist and says, ""This'll be a piece of cake, now.""<br/><br/>The guards outside his door were beginning to panic. All around them, they heard the sounds of the breakout. But, more worryingly, they could hear the laughter coming from behind the solid steel door keeping Ethan imprisoned. ""E-even he couldn't get out of there, right?"" the younger guard asks. A moment later, his question is answered.<br/><br/>The heavy steel door suddenly flies off of it's hinges and slams into the wall on the opposite side of the corridor, burying itself halfway into the concrete surface and sticking there. For a few moments, nothing happens as the guards stare into the darkness of Ethan's cell. When nothing continues to happen, the older guard turns to the younger and says, ""You stay here and I'll--"" The rest of his sentence would forever be lost as a large chunk of stone flies out of the darkness of Ethan's cell and takes the guard's lower jaw with it.<br/><br/>As the guard falls to his knees, his hands scrabbling at the space his jaw used to be, his breaths coming in panicked gurgles, another stone takes off the rest of his head, staining the corridor with his blood and gray matter. The younger guard screams, tears falling down his face, as he falls onto his rear, then turns to vomit on the hall floor, his gun completely forgotten as the man they were guarding steps out of the cell.<br/><br/>Ethan looks at the pathetic mess in front of him and casually flicks his wrist at him. A large spike of stone erupts from the ground beneath him and crashes into the ceiling, large enough to split the young guard in two. Grinning, he watches the young man's lifeblood leak out of his upper and lower halves. Taking in a deep breath, he says, ""Ah, it's good to be back."" He then swipes his hand through the air in front of him and a sudden rumbling fills the air.<br/><br/>The rumbling begins to increase in volume as the building slowly begins to shake. Everywhere within fifteen yards of Ethan, glass begins breaking, walls crack, parts of the floor rise up while other parts begin to separate. All this happens as he begins to walk down the corridor, once again whistling the song about the drunk sailor as stone flies toward his hand, forming a large, earthen sword, which he uses to cut down any guards that dare approach him, the destruction following him as he moves."

Still, it wasn't like the series reruns she was watching were any more interesting. Turning off the television and placing aside the book she'd been skimming she rose to her bare feet and walked over towards the ballistic glass wall that kept her in. Listening intently she heard the sounds of scuffling. Perhaps two of the guards were having a fight, an argument of sorts? Maybe there was a prisoner transfer.

She was scared of the dark. An odd thing for someone who controlled its very nature. In her perpetually lit cell she hadn't experienced darkness in months. It wasn't complete darkness. Just enough to keep her from panicking. Chemical lighting strips adorning the walls provided emergency illumination, enough to get about but it reduced the world to murky shadows. Her lips twisted into a relieved smile and she lifted her orange jump suited arms. Within a fraction of a moment the entire cell was clouded in inky night. It roiled and seethed like a thing alive, pressing itself against every surface, caressing Sarah's form. Sarah could almost feel the television, the cot, and the shower stall vaguely in her mind. Then she closed her eyes and reopened them, skinning them in pure black. Now she could see, only in black and white but just as bright as day.<br/><br/>Flexing her might she pressed against the glass along the entire length of it. It began to bow in the middle, pressing outwards into the corridor. Like a fish tank made to hold enough water to fill backyard pool it was resisting the pressure. There were cracks, weaknesses in the structure, the air vent and the drain but she didn't want to fish near blindly through such tight areas. No, she wanted out and she wanted out now. She began to add structure to her black mist, scaffolding and spears, pushing off the rear wall and into the ballistic plastic shield. Slowly, it began to crack. Spiderlike veins lancing out from the points where her spears contacted the barrier barring her from freedom. The constant battle was taking its toll on her, her head began to throb from the effort, her heart rate was rising but then those growing cracks met one another, growing in strength as the barrier weakened. Finally, at long last, the barrier gave way, shattering into large segmented chunks.<br/><br/>An orange jump suit was cast out of the darkened cell, hit the wall and slid down and then Darkshadow stepped out of the darkness after it. She was clad entirely in shadow, the substance she summoned clinging to her body like a second skin. Shaking out her long golden tresses she smiled and breathed and extended her hands before her. Concentrating she withdrew the black substance into half gloves, revealing white rosy flesh on her fingers and then put a small mask of shadow onto her face, just enough to cover her eyes and apply a little mystique.<br/><br/>Now it was time to get out of here."

All in the name of science one told him. Oh how he wanted to tear his still beating hear out of his chest. Then watch the life drain out of them as he consumed their soul.

After bouncing said chunk in his hand a couple of times, he then crushes it. Brushing the leftover dust in his hand, he says, ""Be a man, or whatever you are! These rocks are nothing!"""

His eyes widened at the site. It was a huge, vast warehouse filled with row upon row of weapons, armour and…<i>things</i>from across the globe. It was an arsenal large enough to supply an army, and potent enough to bring a country to its knees. It was a blessing, Thane thought, that the government hadn’t been able to work out how to use the vast majority of this technology.<br/><br/>But Thane ignored all this tantalising weaponry, striding further into the armoury. He was a few metres in when he saw it. The familiar orange box had appeared in the bottom right hand corner of his vision. It asked a simple question, but one he had looked forward to throughout his time in prison. ‘Power On?’ it queried. Jacob answered yes.<br/><br/>He felt it instantly. His armour’s computer systems linked with his cybernetics’, merging them together into one mainframe. He immediately had full information of his suit; he could even see through its cameras, if he wished. Now that its location was on his HUD map, he could find it with ease. Jacob started running, as fast as he could, not wishing to spend any more time than was necessary in his vulnerable state.<br/><br/>He tore through shelve after shelve of miscellaneous technology, until finally he came to it. There it was, packaged tightly in a box. He pulled it out carefully and placed the boots on the floor. It was in one piece; this model was designed to self-squire, automatically attaching itself to the wearer.<br/><br/>He stepped into the boots, and each sole clipped down with a satisfying clunk. Pneumatic machinery started the squiring process, pushing armour up each leg. As it reached his groin, large plasteel plates separated themselves and pushed up to cover his torso. They latched onto threaded holes in his back and shoulders, and drilled into him, locking in place. His boots clamped down, fastening themselves to his body. Pauldrons and vambraces spread onto his arms, clasping onto his wrists and elbows. Gauntlets, scratched with use, fitted themselves perfectly onto his fingers. His armour locked together, practically welding itself onto Thane. Finally, his black helmet clutched onto his head and flipped down over his eyes. The internal visor flicked on, showing him direct feed from several cameras on his armour. Thane stretched his body out, feeling what it was like to be back in armour. It felt…powerful.<br/><br/>Thane punched the air, dancing around, feeling the speed that this suit allowed him. Most armour wasn't built to go as fast as Thane could swing a sword, but this was built to actually quicken his movements. He flipped into the air, performing a triple somersault before landing heavily on his knees. He got up, and brushed himself down. He had one more important belonging to retrieve.<br/><br/>And there it was, lying next to his armour. Thane bent down and picked it up, grasping its handle. He unsheathed his beloved sword, admiring its monomolecular blade. He held it out in front of him, in fencing pose. He thrust a few times, fast as lightning. Jacob turned suddenly and slashed at the shelf behind him, tearing through it like paper. It felt<i>right</i>to finally have his heirloom back in his hands. He sheathed it, and clipped it to his armour. Thane attached the rest of his weaponry- knives, grenades and pistols, nothing so precious as his rapier- and turned back towards the entrance. He was ready for anything the world could dare to throw at him."

She played skyrim once, in her downtime, and had enjoyed it. She made no judgement and went in after Thane. She went down the rows of belongings that came in alphabetical order, finding her own box. She smiled, pulling it out. In the aisles without caring to look around, she stripped of her orange jumper and slid into what was there. Her gorgeous, bourgeois dress and blade hadn't been on her when she was arrested, just the metal armor that conducted her will deliciously through the palms. She pulled on the metal plate over her bare breasts, slid the 'skirt' on, which was more like a metal thong with an elegant cloth between her legs fit for a more harem type of setting, and finally her metal hairpiece. She'd done some downgrading since her first run through with her powers, and now the horns of her helmet curled more delicately along her cheeks.<br/>Krystaal flipped her hair into the helmet before putting it on, and sliding her metal bracers onto her arm, and finally her metal gauntlets. She smirked. Yes... much more aerodynamic than her clunky headgear she had previously. She pulled the last thing from her box... a lone, if not very effective, tazer. Her grin slowly spread and she felt her crystals being drawn to the small pulser of electricity. Oh god.... she was so hungry for this..."

Reaching a crate of weapons he rooted past several whips and RPGs before finally reaching his trademark knuckle dusters. ""Jackpot.""

Though nothing that would truly be useful, he soon came before a reinforced vault door. he sliced through it creating a portal to take half the door, and take it behind him. he slowly walked inside. There was only one object inside, it was a long box with strange glowing red marking all over it. He took a knee to inspect it, but had the instinct not to open it. Feeling that it belonged to one of the others. The one with the ferocity of a god, he thought returning it would be a great favor. Probably be a great way to get a powerful ally.

Maybe she should get like a...bass cannon or something. That'd be totally awesome. In any case, she needed to find her stuff in here. She tore herself away from Krystaal and her assets and began to search for her things, finding them easily enough. She found her box, and pulled it out. She opened it and was pleasantly surprised to find her things intact. These morons should really just destroy anything they get their hands on. She removed her white and blue striped short sleeved zip-up jacket from the box and gave it a once over.

She put her arms through the jacket and pulled it on, pulling the zipper up just enough to cover her breasts, and giving quite a view to anyone who looked. Next, she pulled on her black blue-striped pants. They tightly fit over her figure, a little more so than she remembered. Whatever was in this prison food must have went to some unwanted places. Oh well, nothing a little...fun, couldn't take care of. Finally, she slipped on her sneakers and slipped on her pink wrist wraps. It felt good to be back in her old clothes.<br/><br/>After getting herself fully dressed, she found the main things she came here to find. Her DJ glasses, and her custom made headphones. First, she donned the headphones, letting them rest around her neck. They didn't have a cord, or any sort of obvious power source. Instead of being just headphones, they doubled as an MP3 player. They had their own battery and functioned as a speaker and a music storage device. Next, she grabbed her shades from the box and donned them. Not exactly useful, but they had a...special meaning to her, if a psychotic villain could have something that meant anything to them. After getting all of her things, she hit a small button on the right side of her headphones. Instantly, a light flickered to life and loud dubstep began to play from the speakers.<br/><br/><b>""Hah!

She came to a box containing multiple power switches, and she ripped the hinges off of the door on it. Her fingers held as claws dig into the electrical wiring and rip it from their cords, pressing it into her shoulders. Another scream of pain, and then delight. Scorch marks on her chest and shoulders formed but she didn't feel the pain, all she felt was the ecstasy of power, returning once more.<br/>No more nausea. No more headaches. No more of this damned place clipping her wings. She finally felt the rush of adrenaline scoring through her veins at the concept of freedom. She let her instinct take over gladly, and she ran through the prison, moving with joy and bounding spirits she hadn't felt in forever. More chaos...

Several speckles of blood hit Victor's mask, he wiped them off the faceplate concealing the range of emotions Victor felt at this sight. On one hand he was amazed at the sheer skill this Natalia had, however he was also terrified, compared to most of the other people he had met he was rather sane and this woman was on a whole different level to what he was familiar with. Although a primal sadistic part of Victor reveled in the gore, it had been so long since Velocity had gotten to cause any mayhem and to watch this once proud figure of authority lose everything was oddly refreshing.<br/><br/>As Cheshire finished with the man Velocity simply nodded, when questioned as to where he came from he unfolded his arms.

It wasn’t a bad thing, it just made her job a little easier. She had Virus following their movements via surveillance cameras and it appeared that they had all gathered together in and around the storage chamber. That was were she was currently headed.<br/><br/>Passing one cell in particular MindWarp caught sight of the warden hiding in a glass cylinder or what looked like a giant jar. With a smile that meant no good, she crafted an illusion of a security guard becoming him out with a promise of safety then illusioned a metal collar around his neck with a chain leash attached to it. The Warden thought that it was really there, but no one else would be able to see it. She was going to give the Warden to her chosen villains as a sort of peace offering. MindWaro tugged the Warden along behind her and he was powerless to refuse. To him, the pulling chain was just too strong and he was forced to follow obediently like some kind of pet.<br/><br/>She arrived at the storage chamber just in time to hear an armoured mans promise. The glowing red visor revealed his name sake. Red Abyss. She should know, after all she had specifically chosen him to be a member of her team. The others in the room consisted of more of her chosen Villains. Krystaal, Bacchus, Velocity, The Cheshire Cat, Third Eye, Thane and Audiophile. However, the last presence in the room was an unknown.

Good evening my lovelies, I see everyone managed to successfully exit their cells. Perfect. I am MindWarp and there is no need to thank me, my reasons are quite selfish after all.” She revealed honestly. “You have been chosen to join me in my quest for villainous dominance. The world is our oyster and it is our job, no. It is our fate to lay waste to it. We shall be what the people of this planet make us out to be. We will be their worst nightmares. Alone we end up in prisons, but united we shall prevail. But of course the choice to join me is solely yours.” She wasn’t going to force anyone to join the team. If they truly didn’t want to then she didn’t want them either. MindWarp illusioned the chain to pull the Warden into the room. “I have brought you all a little present, so whilst you all do what you like with him, think my proposal over. If you choose to accept then join me on our ride out of here.” She turned to Virus and grinned.<br/><br/>“Could you be a dear and open Bay 3’s door. We have a craft to commandeer.” With that she moved deeper into the massive storage chamber and entered through a door labeled ‘Bay 3.’ Inside was a large battle air craft and she had Virus hack into the system and open the ramp so they could board and they waited for any others to join them."

What did, somewhat impress her and get her attention, was when he pulled a bullet out of his shoulder. Most people, that would probably hurt like hell. She had never been shot before, even if she had it probably wouldn't do more than itch, but being shot was very painful to most people.

Oh the things she wanted to do to that man if she ever got her hands on him again. No doubt after hearing about the prison break though, he'd go into hiding. Why?

She'd let the others have their fun with him.<br/><br/>After, she walked over to Mindwarp and Virus. Did she trust this girl? Not in the slightest.

His plasteel boots clunked upon the concrete floor, his armour hissing slightly with every movement. He scanned the environment, noting possible escape routes and blind spots in the building. Nodding in assurance, saved a few snapshots of his comrade’s faces- who could tell when a little bit of information could come in handy?<br/><br/>As he was doing this, several other inmates streamed in. The red-eyed armoured berserker came back, and some psychotic madman dragged a woman into the room. Jacob gritted his teeth as a skeletal being got into a fight with Audiophile. When he was a commander, he would have had his soldiers executed for such indiscipline.<br/><br/>Other prisoners filed in, until a pair of young girls entered with what appeared to be the warden in tow. Jacob’s eyes widened in surprise. This could be a great opportunity.<br/><br/>Then one of the girls said that he had been chosen to join her team.

He seethed inside his armour, and when they were told that they were given the warden as a<i>present</i>, Jacob wondered at her intelligence. Couldn’t she see what an important asset the warden was?<br/><br/>This was why Thane started in shock when Audiophile rushed to the warden and started wounding him. Jacob tightened his grip on his sword, and prepared to stop her senseless violence. He glared angrily at her.<br/><br/>‘Do you have any idea how important this man is? He represents our entire future. If we can take him with us-<i>alive</i>, and preferably uninjured- then we can ransom him back for money.’ He looked towards the girl who had asked him to join her team. ‘Enough money to set up your band of merry men. And do you know what it would do for our reputation? Others would see on the news that not only had we escaped from Neo Alcatraz, but that we had managed to make a profit from it as well! We would make quite an impression. Mindlessly killing the warden now will only label us as blood-crazed lunatics. And,’ he glanced at the surrounding blood-crazed lunatics, ’a reputation like that means less contracts, and less contracts means less people to kill.’<br/><br/>He turned back towards the more sensible people of the group. ‘But don’t worry about the warden when we release him. Do you really think the authorities will want to re-institute the man who let slip the most dangerous people on the continent? No. He’ll be convicted for dereliction of duty, or some other negligence crime. I predict that he’ll safely have committed suicide in under a year.’<br/><br/>He strode back towards the girl who dared to ask him to join her team. ‘And you,’ he spat. ‘You want me to join<i>your</i>team? And what right have you to call it your team. I assume you want to take control of such a thing. What have you shown us that proves you are capable of that? That you are worthy to command us? You say that you freed us. I’ve heard that you helped Virus to escape. But what did you do after that? It seems to me that everyone else took good care of themselves. It was Virus that freed our electricity-creating comrade, not you. And then the rest of us escaped by ourselves- or with the help of<i>other</i>inmates,’ he nodded his head towards Audiophile. However thoughtless she had been with the warden, he appreciated her assistance.<br/><br/>He turned back towards the upstart girl. ‘What qualities do you possess that make you deserving of leadership?’ he asked. ‘What experience have you- of fighting in a war, of leading people through hell and back? I have no wish to be led by a fool. A lion has no wish to be commanded by a donkey. I’d rather find my own way out than take orders from you, but thanks all the same.’"

As it burned it sounded as if children where within its flames, but thankfully the noise did not last long as it rejoined into the blanked armor of the knight.<br/><b>""I thought It felt cold in here""</b><br/>The warden situation was hardly his concern, the warden had done him no wrong but it was entertaining to watch tempers flare over. Audio and Thane make him quickly forget that he was about to maim the Grimm one."

She shook her head, the cat inside her wanting to get with each man and have their children, as any female cat would. But she was not going to let her senses take control of her again. Not after Ivan....... She wondered if he was alive still, just so she could crush him like a bug and turn his flesh into salmon pink ribbons that she could use as play things. God she loved strings and ribbons, so very very much. But now was not the time to think about luxury items; now was the time to escape.<br/><br/>She heard Abyss say he was going, which made her smile widen even further. ""Glad to have someone coming along with me. I mean, as in someone other than a girl."" She said to Abyss, her bushy tail flicking around a bit as she looked at him and into his eyes again. She saw him looking at her and blushed, looking down at the ground even though she had never felt this way before. She bit her tongue as she wanted to say something, but she was too polite to ask.<i>Oh fuck it! Who the fuck cares at this moment in time!</i>She thought to herself, opening her mouth as she asked Abyss, ""Do you like what you see?"""

He was getting beyond pissed the hell off, no one ever bothered having any form of curtesy. Well at least to him anyways, the platoon of soldiers following him readied their guns to fire. As Grimm's eyes glowed ever brighter the rage inside him was tremendous, as the complete disregard for him had pushed all the wrong buttons. He'd been patient enough, even going as far to let others walk all over him. He'd done Abyss a favor something he never did, only to get burned. His whole body shaking he had enough!<br/><br/>""I choose not to follow this band of merry fools. You will not force you to come with either. I simply don't want any part with a group, that will far sooner destroy themselves then see anything truly done. Too self absorbed into their own petty desires,"" Grimm said slamming his scythes bottom into the ground.<br/><br/>Making it sound out with a thunderous clap to get everyone's attention. Though he doubted even now they payed him any mind. After all as he'd so accurately stated, these people were far too self absorbed with their own lustful desires. He would, and could easily get his own way off this island. He'd just need to devour a few more souls to do so."

Victor smiled, as unnerving as this Natalia was he found her company oddly energizing, a stark contrast to the gang he used to run with before he was arrested. As Cheshire sauntered out Victor looked down at the guards body scowling before following her. His knuckle dusters were covered in the entrails of several guards but he attempted to pick out parts of spleen from between the gaps.<br/><br/>Turning to see the armored Juggernaut that was Red Abyss, Victor sighed. ""Great magic...Just when I thought my life was going to be easy."" Victor didn't like the unpredictable nature of magic, it was too unrefined for his liking. Victor remained silent simply nodding at the armored man before continuing to walk to the large gathering. As the woman known as 'Mindwarp' introduced herself, looking around at the rest of the group Victor wasn't pleasantly surprised. It appeared most of the team were either insane or had egos big enough to sink a ship. As the warden was dragged out Victor frowned once more, he'd have preferred to have left the man to answer to his 'superiors' he was just as much a corporate drone as any of the others.<br/><br/>As several people argued over who deserved to be leader Victor just stood his mask concealing the stoic expression on his face. ""I'll join because you busted me out of here but don't expect me to follow you without questioning, I quit the military for a reason. Also I want money wired to my family, enough to set them up comfortably for life."" Then without a word Victor had stormed off to leave the bickering over leadership between the Alien, the cyborg and the trickster, he didn't care as long as he was free and his sister safe. Boarding the ship Victor ducked into a side alcove to change his mask for one of the many he had recovered from the armory, in this case a stone mask with simple slits for eyesight and little else."

""You shall have what you wish."" She conceded softly and moved onto the battle craft. Next came Cheshire and MindWarp tilted her head in a slight nod and her lips quirked a smile. ""Deal."" She said, agreeing to the cat girls request for a lifetime supply of catnip. When Thane, one of the armoured men spoke up, MindWarp felt her eye twitch. Had he not actually listened to her speech at all? When in her whole speech did she ever refer to it as 'her team?'Never. Not once. She had only offered them the chance to join her. Join me, she had said. She breathed in deeply to calm herself.<br/><br/>""Chill."" She said simply and the word had her making the illusion of the inside of the craft beginning to freeze. She used the second stage of her illusion and every one would think that the place really was freezing, not even any armour would stop the illusion for it affected peoples very minds and their nervous and pain systems. Her illusions in this method could really be used to kill people, but this was only a little warning. ""How about this time you turn on your hearing aid and actually listen?"" She asked in a stoic whisper betraying no amusement, no anger, no emotion at all.<br/><br/>""I offered a chance to join a cause. A cause we all have. To be villains. To lay waste to great expanses, to seek revenge, to fulfil darker cravings, to vent, to show people just exactly what and who we are with no remorse. We are what we are."" Around them the 'temperature' steadily lowered and lowered and lowered and would continue to do so until she made it cease. ""You want to stamp your name onto the pages of history. Make everyone run for their lives when they hear your name? You were halfway there, weren't you, Jacob Oliver Constantine. Betrayal hurts, doesn't it? Especially when it comes from those we think we can trust. Best friends... family... lovers..."" She trailed off and glanced at various people around the room. The people that she knew to have face betrayal. She was also letting them see that she was not just a pretty face. She had a calculating brain and she had actually put thought into everything she had done thus far. ""You compare me to a fool? But truly, fools are those blinded by impressions and egos. I never said I would be the leader and honestly I only wish to guide and allow the release of full potentials. Each to their own, as they say, we will do what we do best."" Yes, she was purposely being vague, since she would only reveal more when knowing that people were true to the cause. However, she still got the point across. Leaders needed followers and she didn't need mindless followers for she had no orders, only benefits.<br/><br/>""As I have said, joining is your choice, as is staying. But to that I say, how far did you get when alone? Cause and effect, lovelies, cause and effect. You say I did nothing and yet, I started an avalanche. By allowing my capture I set gears into motion. I freed Virus, asked her to kindly hack into the systems disable the alarms and such, then the next gear began to turn. The life fuelled power source was placed out of action thus the power went out. Then what happened? Yes, indeed, the next gear turned. Without power, restraints set by electricity could be removed. Audiophile, with out even meaning to freed other whilst she freed herself. Continuously the gears I began to turn right from the beginning have led us all to one place in time. Here and now.""<br/><br/>She focused on Abyss. ""It is<i>our</i>cause. Our fate. With the cause you hold no debts, but unto yourself may you fulfil them."" She said and moved her attention onto the unforeseen addition to her 'turning gears.' ""Chill."" She repeated to the alien creature as the temperature lowered further. ""I have no hold over your actions. Your wish is<i>your</i>command."" She told him in deadpan and moved onto Velocity. ""Money is theirs if you so desire it to be.""<br/><br/>""Now as for the Warden, has it been forgotten that I said 'do with him as you will'? Kill him. Leave him to face consequences. Bring him along for ransom. What you choose to do<i>is</i>inconsequential to the cause.""Finally finished, MindWarp removed the illusion, but they would still feel cold until their body heat kicked back into action and their brains registered the lack of cold."

She quickly curled up on the floor in a little ball, her ears twitching like mad and her tail spasming like crazy. ""P-Please..... Not again....... Not the torture again......"" She murmured, tears streaming down her cheeks as she started to grow into a smaller ball.<br/><br/>""No more torture....... Please...... No more...... I don't want to die....... Please...... I'll do better....... Please...... Just forgive me......."" She muttered, her eyes closing as a sob escaped her throat. This was too much, too much cold for her mind to take. The illusion had brought her back to the past, and now she was thinking she was reliving it. When the cold stopped her eyes darted open, her claws digging into her palms as she slowly stood up. Blood dropped onto the floor, but Cheshire could barely feel it. Rage filled her body as she took a step forward, her knees buckling as she fell onto them.<br/><br/>""Stupid...... I'm so stupid......"" She murmured before she fell onto the ground fully, eyes closed as she had passed out from lack of blood. Her claws grew back to regular nails, and there were five open wounds that went deep into her palm. If she wasn't healed soon, she could possibly die, which during her days in Russia, it had been her wish every day."

She had placed her eyes closed, headphones over her ears, and turned the volume on them up to a level that drowned out anything almost everything else. As far as she was concerned, she didn't care whether the others took Mindwarps offer or not, though she did see that the...odd cat girl...person, decided to take her offer as well. Neither did she hear Thanes initial rejection of MindWarps offer. Well, she did hear it, but acknowledging it was completely different. The temperature starting to drop though, seemed to get her attention. She was never one to like cold much, especially considering she was wearing very...light clothing.<br/><br/><b>""Okay...who pressed the turn everyone into an ice cube button?""</b>She said as the temperature continued to fall. She began to shiver slightly. She had never once liked the cold. She slid her headphones down so they were hanging around her neck, and took a look around. MindWarp seemed to be in an argument with Thane, she could assume that Mindwarp was the source of the cold then. That made her slightly afraid, and angry, at MindWarp. It made her briefly wonder what she was was capable of. Did she have power over ice or something? Either way, she began to shiver as a thud caught her attention. She looked over in the direction of it and saw the Cat...person...what the hell was she even?! Screw it. She gave up, and decided to simply refer to Cheshire as Cat.<br/><br/>The Cat, seemed to have fallen onto the floor, and was bleeding quite heavily. Audio stared for a few seconds before yawning in boredom. Did the cold kill her or something? Maybe she should tell MindWarp or something.Audio leisurely walked over to where MindWarp was, interrupting her conversation with Thane while resisting the urge to continue shivering. First thing first, she was going to try to not freeze to death.<br/><br/><b>""Yo MindWarp. The A/C's busted on this thing or something. Its like, fifty below in here. Or are you doing that?

Such sights loomed on the horizon, had he found a lord once more?<br/>Abyss's armored arms crossed as the strange woman spoke of ambitions and of grandiose goals. He has no such thing, plans have never been something he had been good at, but this Mindwarp seemed to be quite the capable queen. What interested him more was how her restraint was admirable, but she had a embers of rage that seemed to be fighting against her imagery.

Even though it was higher then everyone else's, he sighed as he listened to Mind Warp speak. As loathe as he was to admit it he had been thrown in this hell hole, because he was alone. Though the people here he could not trust, especially if they were all lead by their own selfish desires. He didn't want to end up as a prisoner rotting away in a dark dirty cell. Where people pocked, and prodded him stealing his blood. Making him cry out in pain as they exposed his flesh to Delphite; all in the name of science they would tell each other.

As far as she was concerned, all she could hear was her music. She did hear the 'asshole' part though, and didn't take too kindly to being called such. Lucky for the Cat, Grimm had walked by and had her more or less full attention. She gave him a glare filled with enough hate and anger that would make most people run for their lives. She wanted to continue what he had started earlier, but even she was smart enough to know not to start something now. She couldn't damage her only ticket out of here. She'd finish up with the Alien later, after they got out of this mess. Right now, she was much more interested in the Armor guy and his fight with the Cat.<br/><br/>She watched with amusement as the guy in Armor pretty much told the Cat she was useless. A sentiment that Audio shared somewhat. The cat had pretty much almost killed herself. If that didn't didn't spell weak, she didn't know what did.

He thought she was such a pathetic creature, it was almost adorable. However, the thought of being on a team with her worried him, as she sought a fight so much. But, at the same time it was interesting, as she seemed to be capable of truly allowing him to tear the shackles of self discipline he held himself to, and just tear into her. Thinking of this made him begin to chuckle, soon laughing.<br/><br/>""<i><b>My this will be most interesting</b></i>,"" Grimm said to himself.<br/><br/>Soon he saw a strange girl in armor leap down before Mindwarp, they were talking about something. He couldn't make out what the girl in armor was saying, though when he saw the balls of electricity his brow raised at his curiosity was slightly piqued. He soon went to get a better view, and began to wander about the ship soon finding Cheshire. He did a small nod of his head in greeting.<br/>""<b><i>How are your hands feeling?

Slowly leaning back as his entire posture relaxed into that of a calm gentleman's, his scythe having gone back into his body quite some time ago.

However, what Krystaal said next actually caused MindWarp to smile as the body of the prison guard landed at her feet. She had given the Warden as a present to her fellow villains and was now receiving a present in return. Krystaal landed on MindWarps good side for mere seconds before plunging off the deep end. MindWarps eyes narrowed as Krystaal made her proposal. How many times did she need to repeat herself? She wasn't going to force anyone to join. If they didn't then she wouldn't care to have them. She was going to completely ignore the electric lady, that was until she unleashed an attack on her. Wrong move. MindWarp didn't take kindly to being attacked. She ducked out of the way of the electrical spheres and crafted two illusions, solely on Krystaal.

The design seemed to take into account the size change between his human disguise and the armor, and his desire to be the right hand. Even if it only in a metaphorical sense.<br/>Her rage, it reminded him of a sphere. Something unique to her, he wants it, to feed on it. More and more, he finds himself wondering.<i>Why it looks the way it does. Is it a controlled rage? Why does it look this way?</i>But rather than dwell on it he searched for a room. The room furthest to the east caught his eye. A lovely view of magma if he knocked out the wall. For the first time since they had been on the plane, Mr.Lapsa looked around at his ""allies"" these where to be his fellows. Krystaal he had been more than just a tad familiar with in the past. But aside from her most of these people are a mystery, Audio seemed to be a potential candidate for rage. But it was much to soon to tell.<br/><br/>Rather than walk to pick his room. ""My room is the furthest east, Mindwarp. We can dance about later, May I ask we skip to the quest? I desire to know that so I may pick members to work with.<b> I would like to avoid working with the imitation armor.""</b>Mr.Lapsa made sure his sneer made it over to Thane, along with the a flash of red from his eyes. He remembered full well how he tried to silence the rage of the others in the prison...."

She barely hard MindWarps orders as she walked about herself. Eventually, she found<a href=""http://ranzom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/architecture-gorgeous-inspiring-landscape-underwater-hotel-with-luxury-large-room-with-blue-sea-arround-as-decorate-interior-design-amazing-underwater-hotel-inspiring-views.jpg""> a room </a>she enjoyed and slipped within. The bottom of the rising staircases was filled with water, something she could use to practice her art of conductivity on, and the center glass chamber was a private bed. With a sigh, she took off her helmet and rested her back to the sheets. Her body instantly eased into the bed, and only now was her exhaustion finally catching up to her. Even in prison she had not been allowed a full rest, and her ache for sleep pulled at her now, forcing her eyes closed. It wouldn't be long now, if she rested... that she could finally be at full power."

Leaving the ship Victor took in the scenary of the base...it was certainly, dramatic. Victor then realized the overkill was not quite finished as the ship sunk into a mountain steadily descending towards the magma. ""Good to see we're not spending our money on any gimmicks."" Victor chuckled to himself. As they entered the meeting room Victor frowned, it was obvious that there was a power structure here afterall. No matter he thought, all established orders fall under their own incompetence, it was merely a matter of time before it descended into anarchy like all things.<br/><br/>Walking over to the chair with his name engraved on the read Victor smiled as he ran his finger over his pseudonym feeling the texture, he could get used to the luxury of this place. When it came to picking a room Victor wasn't especially picky, he had chosen a spacious yet rather spartan room with metal furnishings, not entirely different to the cell he had found himself in mere hours ago. Returning to the meeting room and taking a seat at his chair he whistled cheerfully."

He inhaled slowly, allowing some of his perception-enhancing drugs to enter his bloodstream. Mindwarp may have been protesting too much, but she did have a point. He might as well try and see what this corps was like. He could always leave if people got in his way. One way or another...<br/><br/>Jacob turned towards the ship, but stopped mid-step. He realised that he was getting colder. He was confused for a moment; his suit was built to maintain a constant temperature. He brought up a temperature screen, which confirmed his suspicions. He looked around, looking for the source of the loss of temperature. He’d come up against illusionists before, in his campaigns. They were rare, and expensive as hell to hire, but they wreaked havoc on a disorganised army. After a moment of paranoid searching, he gave up and decided to just ignore the cold- he’d been through worse, after all.<br/><br/>He twisted back towards the ship as one of the inmates returned from the ship, mentioning something about another prisoner going down. He looked on impassively. If one of the prisoners couldn’t make this escape alive, then they were better off without them dragging the team down.<br/><br/>Thane got a prickling sensation as Krystaal returned, bloody and manic. She challenged Mindwarp to a duel, of sorts. Jacob cursed. This was too important to disrupt with childish games. True, there was no better way to ensure that only the strong could join the team, but such action could tear apart what chance they had to escape. As much as he was sure that he could make it out alone, Thane would rather avoid the no doubt painful repercussions to his murder of the guards. As the other villains moved in to join the fight, Thane turned his back on them and hefted the suspiciously foul-smelling warden onto his shoulder. He strode into the hover ship, and sat down with his boot on the wardens chest. He leant back, and relaxed.<hr/>Now that he was away from the accursed prison, Thane could appreciate the ship they had commandeered. It was much more comfortable than the scarred drop ships he’d flown in- even including his command ship. He was used to worn and battered vehicles, hardened in battle. This was…soft.<br/><br/>Jacob looked up as a large, volcanic island came into view. He furrowed his brow, and ran it through his suit’s database- his eyes widened in surprise as it came up with an error message. This was a well hidden island.<br/><br/>The craft landed smoothly, shrill squeals and pops sounding as the jets slowly cooled. Thane stood up, holding the warden by his neck. He stepped out of the craft, and moved into the main building with everyone else. He passed corridors of sleek architecture, until finally they reached their destination.<br/><br/>They walked into a cavernous command room, furnished with state of the art technology. He was impressed with the extensive tactical maps and software, but he was perturbed at the frivolity of the furnishings- he was used to hurried conversations inside shaking bomb-shelters or behind improvised trenches, not around an ultra-modern table whilst watching a hologram. There were too many distractions. However, he noted with satisfaction that his chair was at the very centre of the semicircle- this would allow him to get as much information as possible from everyone seated. He’d have to replace the chair with a stool, though.<br/><br/>Jacob looked with interest as the huge knight known as ‘Red Abyss’ asked not to work with him. He sneered at him, taking slight at him for some reason. At first, Thane was indignant; what right did he have to ask who to work with? He should follow orders, unless he wished to assume leadership himself. Thane was about to challenge the knight to justify his position, when he remembered the rage and cold efficiency with which he had killed any guards in his way. Jacob nodded to himself. Abyss was too useful to anger- he had proven his worth many times over. It would be pointless to take offence at some minor remark, especially considering they currently had a dearth in front-line cannon fodder. And Abyss looked like he could take on a lot of cannons.<br/><br/>‘I’m sorry, Abyss, for any insult I have caused you. I assure you that it was not deliberate. I have no wish to cause ire among you- or anyone,’ Thane apologised. He’d learned from many battles that keeping morale high was far more important than mere pride. It was worth bowing down to Abyss now than having him leave the corps.<br/><br/>But he better not get in his way."

She was too busy having her feet propped up on a table and sitting on a seat with her headphones as loud as they would go to pay attention or carry any form of conversation. She was for now, content to have gotten out of the prison. She was a bit...eager, to get to wherever they were going, however. Partly because she was hungry, partly because she was looking forward to having a little 'fun' with the armor guy. Hopefully, wherever they were at could hold in two super powered people going all out. If not, well, they'd probably destroy the damn place.<br/><br/>The flight was over swiftly enough, and the island came into view. She gave it a glance out of the window and nothing more. It looked like a boring place to her. Islands, forests, jungles, volcanoes, and other remote places weren't her thing. She preferred cities with large populations. She guessed its remoteness was to help it stay concealed, but they could have some place with more...access to mainland.<hr/>The ship landed easily, and she exited with the others. They came upon the command room, and she had to admit she was impressed by the shiny technology stuff that was in the room, though she didn't stay in the main chamber for long, deciding to go pick out her own room before anyone else called dibs on one she would want. Soon, she found the perfect one she liked. She'd have to decorate it later, but it'd do for now. Satisfied, she walked back to the main control room and decided to see what everyone else was doing.<br/><br/>She walked over to her chair and sat in it, propping her feet up on the table and laying comfortably in the seat.<b>""Well, this is a nice place.""</b>She said as she gave a look to MindWarp.<b>""We haven't even started dating yet and you've already went and bought me a nice place to stay. Man you're making me look bad. I'll have to make it up to ya.""</b>She gave MindWarp a playful wink and smile with that last statement.<b>""Gotta question for ya though. Does this place have anywhere that we can, ya know, beat the crap out of each other? Armor boy over there promised me some fun.""</b>She questioned, with a hand motion pointing towards Abyss."

It was unlikely that anyone had seen him without the armour and were still alive. She felt an inkling of privilege ""Hn. Straight to business we shall go, but I wish to await the others return, for I do not like to repeat myself."" She spoke evenly and glanced at Thane when he began to talk, seeking pardon. It was undoubtedly a ruse and MindWarp knew illusions. There was reason for the apology and no apology ever came without one.<br/><br/>Audiophile strolled back into the room and MindWarp merely blinked as she received a wink. “Yes, there are two training rooms, both equipped to handle… strain, whatever form that may come in.”<br/><br/>When everyone was once again present at the Command Rooms table, MindWarp got up from her seat and walked to the front of the table and stood just below the hologram. She stayed quiet for a moment, just staring at everyone and then clapped her hands twice. Her eyes revealed her joy, yet her face remained passive. “A.P.D. Awesome. Plan. Of. Doom. It is our very first mission as a team and so I was thinking of making it very special. Just a few things really: Vandalise a local Heroes HQ building, assassinate a few business men, steal a few atomic weapons and maybe set one off. Oh and Thane, I see you brought a guest with you. You may ransom the Warden, as you said, it will give VRU a reputation. A very deviously<i>bad</i>reputation.” She said with a slight chuckle. Yes, VRU would get a good, bad reputation and quite frankly deserved nothing less.<br/><br/>“Now, you are probably thinking, ‘that doesn’t sound like much of a plan’ and you are right. That’s because I haven’t told you what it is actually is apart from a few juicy morsels to catch your attention. The few things I mentioned are all relevant to each other. The vandalisation of the Heroes HQ is merely a distraction to keep the heroes busy. A few of them are currently investigating the state we left the prison in but there are a few that remained to ‘hold the fort.’ Abyss and Audiophile, would you like the honours of that part of the plan? I am sure that the heroes will have such beautiful rage when you desecrate their beloved building.”"

Everything she does has a purpose, unless she is just angry and finds that her actions need no greater purpose other than venting. Although it will take a lot more than mere words to anger her. MindWarp is rather aloof in temperament, but a remarkable trickster in that she can morph into different personas and use them for her benefit. For example, pleading to have her ‘dearest fathers’ room number and key to set up a surprise birthday party. AKA get an important businessman’s room number and key then steal all-important information and/or set up a self-destructing device for his termination.<br/>In her off times, MindWarp contemplates reality and illusion but always comes up with the same response, “what is reality but a higher plane of illusion?”<br/><br/><b>Ability/power/s:</b> The Ability to warp minds, AKA Mental manipulation<br/>+ Psionic Inundation = Ability to overload another's mind, causing pain and/or lack of consciousness.<br/>+Psionic shockwaves = A devastating Psionic attack that wracks the minds of all nearby foes. Affected foes may be left Disoriented. A second wave may affect motor functions leading to possible paralysis. A third may well be fatal. But she has not been able to create a third.<br/>+ Illusions = The power to create and manipulate illusions.<br/>+ Mental shield = Because of her ability of mental manipulation she has an immunity against direct mental attacks, though telepaths could still hypothetically enter her mind, they are most likely to lose their own in the process.<br/><br/><b>Weakness:</b> Hand to hand combat and brute strength.<br/>- Robots = they don’t have a mind to manipulate.<br/>-Other mental manipulators. Powers will equal each other out.<br/><br/><b>Extra:</b> Born in an upstate apartment to wealthy parents, Susannah was often left alone with the house keeper until her parents returned at 5pm. When she was five her brother was born and any attention she might have received from her parents was taken away and replaced. It was also around this time that her powers were coming into effect and she used them to vie for attention. The stronger her powers became the more horrified her parents got until one day they had enough. They sent her with her housekeeper on a trip to the slums but by the afternoon the housekeeper returned alone and was given a substantial amount of pay added to her usual salary. What happened to Susannah after that was anyone’s guess. <br/><br/>She doesn't exist in the files of the world. She had been secretly cast out from her family and filed as deceased. She no longer uses her birth name because she believes that she has been reborn into MindWarp. <br/><br/><b>Why choose me?:</b> Your character should definitely choose mine because well… they are the same character! But I suppose I can tell you how wonderful, amazing and fantastic she is. MindWarp is a notorious trickster (The very best!) and it doesn’t hurt that she is also breathtakingly beautiful. MindWarp, as a notorious trickster has a silver tongue which can be used to get her out of almost any situation without the need to use her ability. How Awesome! Her illusions are so perfect, so precise that they affect even things on a molecular level including hearing and smell. What’s more amazing than that?

She is also a bully and enjoys having power over others. Slothful and somewhat gluttonous she wants for nothing more than to lounge about in opulence and otherwise enjoy herself. In essence, she represents the litany of the seven deadly sins.<br/><br/>Ability/power/s: Umbrakinesis. While it is true that Umbrakinesis is impossible Sarah's power seems to defy that. In truth Sarah in an Ectokinetic, able to summon forth Ectoplasm for a variety of effects.<br/>--Darkness Generation: The Ectoplasm summoned can blot out light.<br/>--Ectoplasmic Solidification: The Ectoplasm can become walls, spheres, staircases and the like and is fully capable of stopping bullets.<br/>--Costume and Weapon Generation: The ectoplasm can cling to Sarah's astral form, guarding her body by converting slashing and piercing attacks into blunt. Bullet's can't go through her but hit her like a supersonic fist and hurts like hell.<br/><br/>Weakness: Ectoplasm, being ghostly or ethereal doesn't deal well with sunlight. While she can shroud an entire football stadium in darkness during from dusk to dawn she can barely fill a house with it during a brightly lit day. It also fails completely, in the presence of laser light.<br/><br/>Extra: Sarah actually never wanted to become a villain. She was forced into it by a telepath most sinister and powerful. He had her rob a number of banks, helping her from anonymously. Finally, when once the police were on to her identity he dumped her on the side of the road with only a pittance of the money she'd stolen and a hole in her mind which included his identity. She also has a number of telepathic triggers inside her mind, a sleep command, a forget command, a command that readies her mind for a following suggestion and finally a kill switch.<br/><br/>Why choose me?: Sarah is a defender, capable of putting up barriers between a group of villains and the police. She can also provide a blinding veil for a quick escape from nearly any hero and, through darkness, sneak into nearly any facility. (The locks are, however, another matter) She also knows she's not a great thinker or planner and likes the idea of having a smart and powerful leader to obey. <br/>

He can maintain himself well enough, but every second hes resisting his urges the more extreme he becomes once he cuts loose again. Abyss started out resisting but the overwhelming power he was granted with, along with the euphoric adrenaline rush was to much for him to possibly want to resist. When he becomes angry, he loses control to the armor..While the armor is control, overkill does not come close to the blood drenched scenes. In the three instances in which it has occurred, they could not find all the pieces to the victims or the buildings... <br/><br/>Ability/power/s:<br/>Cursed armor+ offering resistance to most normal weapons. <br/>Berserk+ As the situation lingers the stronger Abyss gets.<br/>Corrupt blade+ While nothing seems special about it, the blade can not break. A needed weapon to handle the strength of the all consuming Abyss.<br/>Weakness:<br/>His rage is as much a weakness as it is a strength. When the armor is in control in particular he may as well be a grizzly bear, charging and slashing anything that moves. <br/>He is not a tactician, he uses brute strength, and if it doesn't work use more brute strength.<br/>His armor is of a magical variety, it can be sealed by special rituals. Rendering him immobile, in a comatose state. <br/><br/>Extra: The armor itself was actually made from the melted down guillotines and various other methods of capital punishment. The armor is believed to be the corrupted souls of all those wicked monsters that had been executed with its metals. Reforged as a weapon to crush the holy Grail, nothing about this armor is rainbows and sunshine....Strangely enough the armor tends to pick its own lord, becoming loyal even if the lord has no desire to use it. Just ask King Arthur about Lancelot...And his lovely queen knows far to much about its instinctual nature.<br/><br/>Why choose me?: Who doesn't want their own personal Knight? Abyss can be dropped off alone to act as a distraction or keep him around to ensure a successful mission. Complete with more collateral damage than anyone is prepared to deal with. As a being who thrives on crushing anyone underfoot he is also cheap labor, and will not hesitate if his lord told him to kill his own lover..s. His alias tends to be quite the charmer more or less, perhaps the fact that the armor itself has plenty of experience with all forms of sin.

Will see whatever tasks she started through to the end. However, she may seem a bit blunt when she does talk. She's loyal, so long as the person/people she's dealing with don't try to backstab her. The moment Veronica finds out that one of her 'friends' is going to backstab her, is when she'll make those people regret even thinking about betraying her. Veronica can hold a grudge for a long time, and will make sure that those who wronged her, paid dearly for messing with her.<br/>She also has a mischievous side to her. She will often use tactics to embarrass her target when she's giving someone a computer virus. <br/><br/>Ability/power/s: Expertise in computers and machines. <br/>-Hacking <br/>-Bugging, <br/>-Manipulate data<br/>-Great intuition and aptitude for machines<br/>-Can invent her own gadgets for whatever she or the group needs<br/><br/>Weakness: <br/>-Socializing with people. <br/>-Physical combat. She's not very strong in it, but she will have a taser on her to help herself in case of emergencies.<br/>-Her actions when it comes to grudges.<br/><br/>Extra: Veronica was once an orphan, sent there after her parents were found and arrested for abusing her. However, she was quickly adopted by a cold hearted politician that had an important role in the government. The politician used her and her talents with computers to spy on his enemies and ruin their plans. Everything seemed to go well now that he had Veronica. But, that changed when he was speaking with his friends one night. Veronica overheard him say that she was just a tool to help him achieve his goals and that he didn't love her like a father at all. So, after that, Veronica left, got her adoptive father arrested, and began her own string of crimes. She was able to steal a large sum of money from many people with her viruses and nobody was safe from them. She was soon caught however, by a brilliant detective, and was sent to prison. Her prison is specially designed with no technology. It looks like a regular dungeon from the medieval times. <br/>She does not have a crush on anyone. Her arch nemesis is a detective named Simon Holmes.<br/><br/>Why choose me?: Society is relying more and more on technology these days. Why use a security guard when you could have a security system that'll sound alarms, lock doors and windows, and call the police once someone activates a trigger? With Virus, she can disable those security systems with a trojan horse virus. There's also a lot of information flying around on the internet. She can gather that information and use it to your advantage. Want to listen on someone's conversation and be one step ahead of your targets or enemies? She can bug them and you can listen in on their conversations. She's also good with machines in general. Need a getaway car right away? She can just get a nearby car working and you can be on your way. Who doesn't want their own little technological genius?<br/>

Especially when she gets to watch the life drain from his eyes. She sees no reason to change her ways, and she does ever so much love to get her hands dirty. Some may prefer to be manipulative to get what they want, she prefers to shed blood rather than whispers. That aside, if ever in the company of someone she doesnt want to hurt, she passes back and forth banter like no other. The last thing she'd do is talk about you behind your back. She's more the... in-your-face-what-the-fuck-did-you-do type.<br/><br/>Ability/power/s: After swallowing electromagnetic crystals that were being tested on by mistake, She gained the ability to conduct, and use electricity. Pieces of the crystals that melted in her digestive system were absorbed into her body for nutrients when the chemicals that formed the crystals were absorbed into her blood stream. Particles of the broken down crystals began to reform as they got stuck in her heart cavities, where they reformed. Thus, her heart has an electromagnetic crystal in it conducted through her bodies bloodstream, allowing her to manipulate it at will. She can turn this ability on or off.<br/><br/>-Electric whip; she makes a whip out of electricity and uses it to torment her foes.<br/><br/>-Stun; can electrocute anyone like a stun gun or tazer can.<br/><br/>-Electric Slide; any metal surface she touches can be a conductor of electricity. This includes water. <br/><br/>-Energy blasts; pulses of energy shockwave, ranging from being like a bullet to having the intensity of a comet, never are the blasts bigger than her own body.<br/><br/>--Lightning strikes; strikes of lightning coming from her hand to strike an opponent<br/><br/>-Can fight using assorted weaponry that can also be conducted upon. <br/><br/>Weakness:<br/>-Can only hit one thing at a time<br/><br/>-The crystals get tired after a while, meaning she needs to recharge somehow by zapping herself. This can range from holding an electric fence to being put in the electric chair.<br/><br/>-Can't hit anything below ground<br/><br/>-The lightning strikes can be deflected by mirrors<br/><br/>Extra: Before swallowing the crystals by mistake, Marian was a natural biology student at the University of Quivvand. During a playful experient in the class when they were supposed to be learning to make crystal rock candy, Marian mistook her professors lab experiment for the rock candy. That night she broke into a cold sweat, feeling absolutely ill. It wasn't until that morning that she became restless, always in a hurry, things not going fast enough for her.... the symptoms built up, one after another until finally she went berserk. There was too much energy and she temporarily went insane. She continued like this until she was caught by the man who is now her arch nemesis, Taalunian. As time went by in prison, she learned to control herself.. but still retains that bloodlust she had developed before. She has a crush on Red Abyss, having seen him around the prison (If he is chosen and I hope me and him are) and is not afraid to speak her mind. <br/><br/>Why choose me?: <a href=""http://vocaroo.com/i/s0WzJUsDDT2v"">“Why, my sweet Susannah… Why would you not want me? Ahaha… you see my dear… you possess… a fine ability, no? Mm, that manipulative ability you hold is… indeed… unfathomable. But I ask you, miss… when you are tied down, backed into a corner, who will have your back then? If all of our hands are bound, who has a long range ability without needing a weapon? Oh but of course you needn’t answer that question dear. You already know. Yes, Krystaal! Krystaal is the answer… to freeing your hands from the dirty work… And burning… everyone in your path.” </a><br/><br/>

He does what he wants, when he wants, however he chooses. If someone can somehow convince him to kill a certain person, he'll do so...as well as anyone else he can kill within a mile radius with wild abandon, even if it's the person who gave him the job. Every moment of every day, his mind is filled with thoughts of violence and debauchery, things he would call the 'little things in life.' Even though it may not seem like it, however, he's still capable of other emotions, such as happiness, anger, and even love.<br/><br/>Ability/power/s: Terrakinesis: The ability to manipulate earth and stone to one's will<br/><br/>Earthen Craft - The ability to create a wide assortment of objects out of stone, such as weapons<br/><br/>Earth Dive - Ethan can slip underground, allowing him to travel unhindered and reemerge from almost anywhere<br/><br/>Shrapnel - Creates dozens of small, stone shards that then hurtle towards the target, slicing them to ribbons<br/><br/>Weakness:<br/><br/>-His insanity often leads him to taking on as many of the toughest-looking people as he can, by himself, while using his offensive prowess as his defense<br/><br/>-Ethan cares nothing for stealth. His idea of infiltrating an enemy area is rushing the front gates and making his way through while killing as many people as possible, no matter how many there are or how well-equipped<br/><br/>-He tends to toy with his enemies, like a cat with a ball of string. His favorite method is to rough them up a little, then let them go while striking at random times, letting exhaustion get the better of them. This can backfire if his target has a way of calling for backup, or if they manage to lead him into a trap.<br/><br/>Why choose me?: ""Because you'd be stupid not to. If you decide to leave me to rot in this shithole, I'll break out on my own, hunt you down, and show you just how useless this straitjacket here is by skinning you alive with the dullest, rustiest knife I can find. Then, I'll stick hooks into the bottoms of your feet, hang you from the ceiling and throw salt on you. Afterwards, while you're drawing your last pitiful breaths, I'll turn on some polka music and dance to it with the desiccated corpse of your childhood friend and their dog. But, I won't let you die. I'll find a way to keep you alive so you can go through even worse torments every single day for the rest of your short, miserable life. So, what's it gonna be, friend?""<br/><br/>

Rash and impulsive Victor prefers to rush into his problems head on punching his way through anything that tries to stop him. Victor has anarchist views believing that if people really want something they should do whatever it takes to get it. Contrary to his reputation Victor is no brute however, he is surprisingly resourceful and isn't one to be fooled, those that try to fool him usually end up with limbs missing.<br/><br/>Ability/power/s: Manipulation of kinetic energy: Being able to infuse his blows with energy.<br/> Being able to absorb the kinetic energy from his enemies attacks and redirect it into his own.<br/>Altering the kinetic energy of the particles within objects causing them to explode. <br/>Can store energy from received attacks to release it in his own.<br/><br/>Weakness: Has no mental defenses, can only defend against attacks he sees coming. <br/><br/>Extra: Victor unwilling served in the military in order to earn enough money to pay for his sister's tuition.

Basically your favorite Joker on crack. Her ways of torture are like none other, and no one has ever survived their capture by her since she can disappear as quickly as she comes. She has five wardrobes full of tools, gadgets, and weapons of torture, but never forgets the classics. She's as insane as anyone can get, and will kill anyone and anything when she gets the chance. She's a ruthless murder, and takes pride in her work instead of doing it in a messy way. And every victim that was found had a sinister cat face on their stomach, made by the long nails that Natalia has. And she takes her time with her symbol, making sure it's absolutely perfect before dropping the body off at the doors of the police station. <br/><br/>Ability/power/s: <br/>- The power to change into her monster form at will<br/>- The ability to read minds<br/>-The power to become invisible<br/>-The power to make people extremely scared of her ((Thanks to a pheromone she excretes from her cheeks))<br/>-The ability to float or fly<br/>-The power to transport<br/><br/>Weakness: <br/>-Cat Nip<br/>-Yarn<br/>-Cat Toys<br/>-Laser pointer<br/>-Basically anything a cat would love and be distracted by, she loves the same things! <br/><br/>Extra: When Natalia was just a little girl her Russian parents sold her to the Russian Government for tests, tests that were done on human children that unfortunately went terribly wrong. The Russian Government took 50 children for experiments, but only one lived. When she came out of the testing lab they called her The Cheshire Cat, because she now looked like that. That, and she had taken on the characteristics of the cats she was now named after. But during those tests she had lost all sense of humanity, so they shipped her off to a prison where she was kept for many years. But little did they know that she was plotting her revenge while playing with the cat toys they gave to her to keep her preoccupied in her padded room. She escaped at one point, torturing and killing 150 people before she was caught and sent back to prison. Now she is kept under heavy surveillance, and has monitors all over her so they can monitor her brain waves to make sure she's not trying to teleport. That, and they've put her in a state of sleep so she has no ability to use any of her powers or abilities. <br/><br/>Why choose me?: ""Let's get straight to the point, I'm the villain you want the most; I love to torture the hell out of people, I can shape shift into a monster to scare the crap out of people, thanks to the pheromones in my cheeks. I can get you out of a jam thanks to my teleportation powers. You'll never have to fly on an airplane again due to my flying ability. And I can be very smexy at times! Plus, I've secretly got a thing for Mr. Strongman above me! But I'll never tell!""<br/>

<br/><img src=""http://s3.zerochan.net/Komeiji.Koishi.240.358373.jpg""/><br/>Real name: Koishi Komeji<br/>Codename: Third Eye<br/>Age: 19<br/><br/>Personality: Koishi is your average, outgoing person when she's not on a errand or job. She acts cheery and happy but she knows when to stay silent. When on a job, she puts her utmost into it and tries her best. She does however, have a different personality that only comes out when she's pissed off. It's completly the opposite to what she normally acts like. She tends to go on rampages easily when she acts like this. She also doubles in strength, making her a bit more powerful. If she has just gone on a rampage and switches back to normal, she would forget everything that would of happened in that time, including objects.<br/><br/>Ability/power/s: <br/>- To remember mostly everything she sees.<br/>- (only works on a person) To know the most important things about the person just by sighs. e.g. Name, age, where he/she lives, occupation ( To find out their occupation is a rare thing for her, but she can see this now and again).<br/>- Her purple eye can screech at a alarmingly high pitch that would cause others to drop to the ground and cover their ears. Once heard, it echoes in their heads for a good 5 minutes.<br/>Weakness:<br/>- If there are a lot of items in the room she's in, she gets a painful shock to her body and is forced to look down. This is why she keeps her head mostly low when running.<br/>- If her purple eye is grabbed, it sends a shock to her body, causing her often to drop to the ground. (Only if someone else is grabbing it. It does no harm if she grabs it herself)<br/>- Things like mirrors and anything reflective cause her to stand there idle for a couple of seconds to scan over, seeing if the things being reflected are already stored.<br/><br/>Extra)<br/>Background: Koishi used to be an orphan, all alone. She got bullied because she was so weak until a kind man took her away and adopted her. She lived a few years happily with this man. She had never felt this way before, so these moments were special to her. After some years, two men dressed in black had took her away from this man. The last sight she saw as she was being dragged away was him being shot in the head by another man. She didn't know what happened next, as before she knew it, she was in a van, being driven away to somewhere else. <br/><br/>After a long ride, she found herself to be in a lab of some sorts. She hated the sounds there that were filled with murderous intent. Walls and floor that were sparkling white, used to be covered with blood and other strange liquids. She was taken to a room and stayed there for a couple of days, before a scientist came in and took her to a spare operating room. She was out like a light, thanks to the sleeping gas. <br/><br/>When she awoke, she felt different. Something tight was wrapped around her waist, gripping on and making a...screeching sound? She looked up and to the left, to see a purple eyeball attached to a long, rope-like body with a tail at the end. She couldn't even speak when she saw this, it was too terrifying. She looked at her surroundings a bit before realizing that she was already familiar with these things. Soon, a woman came in and explained what had happened, then Koishi got took away, yet again. She didn't struggle or complain, since she was still under a lot of shock. She had heard someone say 'poor kid' as she got into the same van that took her here.<br/><br/>They dropped her off at a house that held two parents and three children. Two boys, one girl. She guessed this must be her new home for now, so she soon accepted them into her life and stuff went on as normal. Now, she's nineteen and living alone. She had got caught for causing a rampage in town, killing several people. She's currently in her cell, leaning against the cell wall. Her purple eye was in it's separate cell, hanging from the ceiling. Too high for her to reach. How lucky.<br/>Nemesis: Hata no Koroko<br/>Crush: Currently none.<br/>Weapons/Gadgets: Although her appearance says otherwise, she's surprisingly good at Judo. She can use her purple eye as a whip of sorts, which is quite lethal. She also has a small dagger hidden in her shoe and a number of poisons hidden under her skirt. I mean, who would look there for weapons?<br/><br/>Why choose me?: ""Say if you had a certain target you wanted to kill. Send me over to where they should be. As soon as I look at that person, I could get where they live easy. Then, you could steal their valuables and kill them at the same time! And if you're needing a quick escape, I would remember the other exits from before that we've passed, so it's pretty handy to have me around! Just don't send me out like I am now. That would be a horrible idea. When I'm pissed, it's fine. I will disembowel you with a rusty spoon if you don't let me in, so yeah.""<br/>

<br/><center><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/1N3qz6w.jpg""/></center><br/>Real name: Jacob Oliver Constantine<br/>Codename: Thane<br/>Age: Twenty-eight<br/><br/>Personality: Jacob is very Darwinian. He believes that those who have the strength, will and ingenuity to grab power and riches deserve their rewards, and the weak deserve their fate. He despises those who leech on the hard work of others, who have inherited all their money and fame. His ideal world would be one huge, never-ending arena; people continuously battling for control in a world where only the skilled survive. <br/><br/>He is very strategic, as he was the leader of a famed mercenary corps. He is not supernaturally talented, however; he is still an amazing tactician, but nothing that any other human could not achieve… <br/><br/>Jacob is capable at working in teams or by himself. He is a skilled commander, especially in the heat of a battle, but he can also take orders- as long as he doesn’t find them patently stupid, or if his prescience kicks in and tells him following them would be a very, very bad idea…<br/><br/>He can work alone for weeks at a time, not minding the isolation. He does not necessarily need to be given specific orders in this time, as he is able to set himself his own objectives based on the current situation.<br/><br/>Ability/power/s: Jacob is a man of simple skills. He can do one thing, and he can do it well. That thing is slice you into thirty pieces in the time it takes for you to blink. He is unstoppable in close-quarter’s combat, able to tear through armour and slash a bullet in half.<br/><br/>Jacob is prescient: he can instinctively tell the future. He always knows where enemy troop emplacements are going to be, where the ambush is set up, or how Corporal X will if Y occurs. This is entirely subconscious; even Jacob himself doesn’t know he possesses this skill. Most people- including him- just put it down to tactical genius. He often uses this in his swordfights; he predicts each movement before it occurs.<br/><br/>Weakness: Jacob is awesome to behold when wielding a sword. Not so much when wielding anything else. Jacob is only as good as a normal human when using such weapons; still good, but in no way on the same level as he is with a sword.<br/><br/>Furthermore, because Jacob’s prescience is instinctive, he cannot decide when he uses it. This means it is completely situational; sometimes he will know how events will unfold, sometimes he doesn’t. He cannot specifically predict where the gunman will shoot if told to. In other words, it is completely unreliable. <br/><br/>Extra: Jacob was the leader of a famed mercenary corps, one which was hired by corporations and small countries the world over. He led them from a small, obscure company in the Mexico to a global phenomenon renowned the world over. He was condemned by presidents, praised by dictators; his corps was the hard core of many of the revolutions and coups that have shaped recent history. He was the person you went to for help. He was the person you saw if you had a job so dangerous others wouldn’t touch it. He was the person you could always trust to finish the job, and finish it <i>well</i>.<br/><br/>It didn’t last.<br/><br/>Just when Jacob thought nothing could stop him, that he was immortal, it fell apart. A series of failed contracts tore apart his reputation. The enemy always seemed to know where he was, to be one step ahead of him. His tactical genius wasn’t enough; he would fail again and again and again. <br/><br/>But Jacob refused to give up. He would claw his way back to the top. Nothing would stop him. He would carve his name through history, he would make the world remember his name. He found the perfect job, one that would bring back their reputation and their money. He inspired his men with his speech of returning to the top, to their rightful place in the world. They set out, zealous and willing to die for Jacob.<br/><br/>None of them returned. They were ambushed on the way to the site. Vicious anti-air missiles took down their transport helicopters, killing many. Those that still survived huddled around the carcasses of the helicopters and their former comrades. They made their last stand there, refusing to surrender and live in shame for the rest of their lives. Jacob led at the front, fighting beside his soldiers to the very end. And when the brunt of the enemy forces finally arrived, he gasped in horror.<br/><br/>Their commander was his right hand man, Samuel Augustus. The only man he had ever trusted enough to plan contracts with. The only man he had given the most important, and the most dangerous missions to. His friend, who had been with him ever since the start of their corps. He had betrayed him, and stabbed his friend in the back when he was most vulnerable. As the fighting raged on, Jacob’s mercenaries fought to the last until it was only Jacob left. He was horrified at the slaughter, the massacre he had ended up in. Everyone he had ever known, everyone that had been as a family to him, was dead. And all because of his best friend.<br/><br/>He dropped his sword in defeat, and sank to his knees, crying. Soldiers came to drag him away to prison, as their contract stated. Jacob could do nothing but watch as he was condemned as a murderer and a war-monger, while Samuel Augustus received medals and fame.<br/><br/>Later, in prison, Jacob swore upon his soul that he would see Samuel on the end of his sword. And if he had to get through his mercenary company to do that, well, the more the merrier.<hr/>Jacob is a cyborg. The vast majority of his body is machine, and he has multiple implants in his brain designed for combat and receiving information. That which isn’t machine is encased in power armour, further reinforcing his capabilities at close-quarters fencing.<br/><br/>His provides many different services other than just protecting him from damage. It overcompensates his movements, making him even faster and stronger than he already is. Furthermore, it contains multiple computer systems designed to communicate with Jacob’s cybernetics, automatically smoothing his movements to create the most efficient sword fighting possible. These computers also provide him with extensive information about the situation, be he in a battlefield or surveying enemy encampments. This means that Jacob’s power come into their own when he’s inside his power armour; cybernetics, sword and armour working in harmony to bring lightning death to all who would oppose him.<br/><br/>This armour also contains a large variety of drugs, for combat and more peaceful use. Combat drugs enhance his reactions, speed and perception, while the others are all related to keeping him awake for weeks at a time, and providing him with faster recovery from wounds. It also contains many tubes of carbohydrates and protein, allowing him to be injected with the right nutrition on the field without having to set up camp and make a meal. All these chemicals allow Jacob to fight near continually for around six weeks; after that, his drugs will run out and he will have to return to base in order to get them refilled.<br/><br/>Jacob has one prised possession he values over all else; his rapier. It was handed down to him by his father- it had been in his family for generations, from when his family were rich traders in Italy. Now, it has been enhanced with nanotechnology to provide a monomolecular blade, easily capable of sheering through tank armour.<br/><br/>He also has a great deal of other equipment, all high-end. He has multiple pistols, rifles, knives and a few other back-up swords should he ever be without his precious rapier. <br/><br/>Why choose me?: ‘Are you strong? Are you quick, able to take advantage of any situation? Do you have the guts and determination to escape- to make the world yours? Can you climb up from nothing, and make the soft and corrupt tremble at your passing? If you can, then I wish you well. You deserve your rewards. But I can tell you one thing for a fact.<br/><br/>‘I <i>am</i> strong. I <i>am</i> quick. I will get out of here. I will tear apart the world when I escape. I will stamp my name onto the pages of history. I will make every politician, every weak and quivering president run for their lives when they hear my name. I will go into the jaws of death, and make my home there. You are welcome to leave without me. But I advise you to think to yourself very carefully. Can you survive without me?

That guise is easily broken, however, if someone pisses her off. Which isn't that hard to do thanks to her bad temper. She's quick to anger, and holds onto grudges and hate longer that is probably healthy for anyone. People she has a grudge against, or people who piss her off, she will eventually get her revenge on. That is not something anyone would want to go through. She's sadistic when it comes to defeating her enemies, and likes making them suffer, so much so that she'll go out of her way to inflict the worst pain imaginable she can on them, either emotionally, or physical pain through torture. She doesn't mind a little pain herself though, being used as a live test subject tends to make one numb to that sort of thing.<br/><br/>She does however, love music, especially dubstep, and plays video games like there's no tomorrow when she's not destroying a city block just for the lulz or out at a rave or club.<br/><br/><b>Ability/power/s:</b> Alexis has the ability to manipulate sound waves. She can turn even the smallest sound, amplify it, and use the vibrations the sounds creates to attack, defend, and if she wanted, she could even create an earthquake using sound vibrations. She can use any sound waves that she can 'see' through hearing them.<br/><br/>A few practical examples of her power:<br/>- Sonic Screech: Alexis screams, sending a conical wave of explosive sound waves towards the direction she is facing.<br/>- Sonic Quake: By Vibrating sound waves at a certain speed, she can create a small earthquake.<br/>- Sonic Boom: Does exactly what the name implies. Creates a sonic boom in the area around her. Very draining, and could possibly damage her.<br/>- Sonic Shield: Vibrates sound waves to create a repulsive shield around her.<br/><br/><b>Weakness:</b><br/>- Her power has made her ears extremely sensitive - any sufficiently loud noise that she is unprepared for could easily disorient or cause her pain. Ironic, no?<br/>- Her reckless attitude. Prefers to just launch a frontal assault rather than some fancy shmancy plan.<br/>- Physical fighting isn't her strong suit. She's a better ranged fighter.<br/><br/><b>Extra:</b> <br/>A short Bio: Alexis was a normal high school kid, mostly, until she was 15 and her life got turned to hell. She was kidnapped by some rogue government R&amp;D facility, that used her and other people for live test subjects. Needless to say, it turned a normal girl into a psychopathic killer, which wasn't a good thing for the people in the facility. She blew the facility up, leaving nothing more than a smoldering crater where it was. The other people inside and the scientists, were killed. She eventually found her way back home. She expected that she'd be welcomed back with open arms. She hadn't had any idea how long she was gone. Turns out she was trapped in that place for 4 years.<br/><br/>By then, her parents and everyone else assumed she was dead...and they had adopted another kid. She felt betrayed. The torture she spent in the lab, along with this, she snapped. So, she killed them. Her parents, and that no good kid that had replaced her. She made him <i>suffer</i>. They found the poor kids body torn into so many pieces, they couldn't even count them, and her parents each had their ears cut off, mouths sewn shut, mutilated, and hung from the ceiling with a pool of blood beneath them.<br/><br/>Afterwards, she began a crime spree that lasted for about a year and a half until she was caught.<br/><br/><b>Gadgets:</b> usually wears headphones that always seem to be playing some sort of dubstep music. Aside from the fact she just loves the music, she uses the music that plays from them as part of her arsenal.<br/><br/><b>Why choose me?:</b> ""Because you’d be crazy not to? Come on beautiful, I’m the most dangerous, badass motherfucker in here. ‘Sides, if you don’t I’ll just break out myself and show you just how, heh, <i>bad</i> I can be, and I’d hate to hurt someone with such a pretty face. Oh, no, I wouldn't kill you right away. I’d have my fun with you first. Scarring such a pretty face would be such a shame though. I might even actually feel bad about it later. Especially when I can think of several other...uses It could have. So mind letting me out already?

<br/>Name:Michael Jones.<br/><img src=""http://i320.photobucket.com/albums/nn344/Kaeth_Of_Light/Gaia_Rp_and_Profile_Related_Stuff/DragonKnight.jpg""/><br/>Alias: The Anointed, Archangel, Priest, every nation has a name for him, but he himself has never formally picked one.<br/><br/>Age: 25<br/>(Just conjecture. Based upon his youthful appearance and ""arrogance"")<br/>Personality. Unlike the Abyss the Anointed one seems more like a deity than a human. He tries to remain as neutral, forever unbiased and never picking a side, never joining in political struggles or even dealing with petty crimes. Only in times of absolute crisis does he even move. Beyond anything he is forgiving, understanding that the world is tainted with the inability to decipher true right from true wrong. Mercy and compassion are a tight rope, and he walks it with grace. Despite the anger and blame he receives he never once has shown even agitation, even threats from the world powers do not raise his ire. (Even attacks from unnamed governments simply where met with his self defense, as soon as the assailants where rendered incapacitated he went back to meditation.) <br/><br/>Abilities:<br/>Much like armor of Abyss, The Anointed, is clad in a armor that is not of the earth. But unlike the abyss, its of the purest white, as if ivory or marble. Its armor does not take damage, it runes repel almost all physical attack. Science has proven useless in understanding where it draw energy from, but speculation suggest that if abyss was to draw from rage, Anointed draws upon a need to satiate it.<br/><br/>He no longer needs food,water, or even sleep.<br/><br/>While both armors are indeed forces of nature, Abyss is the wind that destroys the town, the anointed is the mountain that remains for them to rebuild.<br/><br/><b>WEAKNESS</b><br/>The Anointed has none. If it was to be said he had a weakness it is his mercy. He will never end a war, he will never stand for a cause. He is divine truth, and will only directly defend against Evil. Other than Abyss he has only been seen in when the loss of life is appalling. Or a person with great power steps to change the world for their own ideals.<br/><br/>Conflicts with Abyss.....Are generally documented as acts of God. Both wield power that science can not explain, but their powers seem to reach new heights when in fighting with one another. There fights have released more energy than nuclear bombs in a volcano, lives lost in the hundreds. Afterwards The Anointed shows emotions, generally sobbing and even expressing rage. <br/><br/>Extra. His spear can block the Black. Further more tip fires off bolts of energy similar to lightning. The spear once thrown makes a massive arc of energy, and forces lightning from even the clearest of sky. The final strike seems to take it up and bring it back to the knights hand....The technique is referred to as the worlds dragon. Abyss just calls it annoying.<br/>

<br/><img src=""http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/203/5/d/mfg_mage_by_ixtianart-d6d0jkp.jpg""/><br/>Real name: Chandra - Not its real name, but it claims that its real name would be impossible for humans to pronounce.<br/>Codename: Astral<br/>Age: by human standards, it looks to be about its mid twenties.<br/><br/>Personality: Astral...is a bit of a odd one. Its motives for being a 'Hero' are completely its own, and not out of any sense of justice or righteousness. As far as its concerned, this worlds problems are not its own. Astral is quiet, not talking unless spoken too. Even then, it prefers to keep it sentences short. It doesn't seem to have any form of emotion at all either, as it always keeps calm and level headed even during a fight. When not fighting it seems to just coldly acknowledge other people with little more than a small nod, or a single hand motion.<br/><br/>Ability: Astral Energy Manipulation<br/>A few examples of applications:<br/>- Chandra can create constructs made from pure Astral energy and use them in anyway it sees fit. A giant hammer, a shield, a giant fist. It is quite a versatile and formidable ability if used correctly - and destructive if used incorrectly. All it has to do is will it to exist, and it will as long as it continues to wish it.<br/><br/>- A form of Telekinesis, allows it to effect objects at a distance. The heavier the object, the more energy it takes.<br/> <br/>- It also allows it the ability to be able to leave its physical body, and allows it to behave much like a ghost, moving unseen to all unless they have the ability to sense spirits and other non-physical beings. Could possess someone, or use a form of mental persuasion.<br/><br/>- Aside from its other abilities, Astral is a excellent martial artist.<br/><br/>Weakness: <br/>While Astral does seem to have many strong suits, its one major weakness is the thing it uses to fight. Drawing energy from the plane that its from is quite tiring. Battle of attrition and stamina aren't going to do it any favors.<br/><br/>Bio: Astral, as it has started to call itself, is not a being from this plane of existence. After an unknown event ripped it permanently from another realm, it wandered this plane of existence, little more than a ghost barely able to effect its surroundings. It was barely able to comprehend such a big change at first. In fact, the place that it was dumped became known to be haunted by a malicious ghost. Eventually though, it began to regain some of its lost power. Its first act, was stabilizing its presence in this world. From there, if began to learn more about this world it was thrown into, and how to use its abilities here. Soon it gained a reputation as a 'Hero' It cares not for such titles though.<br/>

[Krystaal: *gag*] She is determined to find love and often flirts with the bad boys, though she isn't very good at it.

Basically, without a sword he's powerless- or rather, as powerful as a normal person. So he's not in very high security. He managed to smuggle in a tiny knife (because he's able to tell the future he hid it in an area that he knew would be overlooked). He used this to cut a tiny sliver off the bars of his cell door. He then sliced open the door (breaking the sliver) and killed the guards, taking their weapons. Now of course he's screwed, because alarms are going off calling for more guards."

In any case, I'm totally fine with him being brutally beaten down by guards after he gets out of his cell; the main point of this is to show that Jacob is very determined, and so would be very, very unlikely to just wait for someone else to come and rescue him. He'd try and at least get out of his cell first.<br/><br/>In other words, as long as Jacob gets out I'm happy. I don't so much care afterwards. I do in fact have a draft where he gets zapped unconscious by his cybernetics (which are currently being controlled by the prison) as soon as he kills the guards in his cell row."

I'd classify such a thing as a power. That's definitely not standard fare. It would also have to be something nonmetallic or cyborgs would just up and walk out on a regular basis. That's why I suggested the acid. If one were prescient one could swallow a glass ampule at the appropriate time and just wait for it to come out the other end.

This<i>is</i>why I asked in the first place, I guess...<br/><br/>In that case, I'll go ahead with something else. Probably not the acid thing, because that would be too technical for the story- I'd rather have something action focused. I think I have an idea though; instead of focusing on escaping, Thane'll be getting rid of the limiters on his cybernetics. Which should be viable."

And in all reality though, Audio<i>would</i>ignore him considering what just happened, so unless it was obviously directed towards her (And lets face it, Audio isn't the nicest nor smartest of people) she probably would more or less say nothing to him.

Reasons are: You're into MLP- whilst I know there are female fans (I'm friends with one), the vast majority of bronies are, as the name suggests, male. Furthermore, there<i>is</i>still the 'god-king' thing, although following your explanation this has been significantly lessened... I also believe it because you have a female character who is hot and into both guys and girls- but so far, mainly girls. It's more likely that you're male and so have somewhat large author appeal in doing this, than that you're female and bisexual/lesbian. It's also, sadly, more likely than you doing it out of wanting to create a good character; probability outweighs you there...<br/><br/>2. Regarding the headphones: exactly. So if Grimm wants to get her attention, that is one sure-fire way to get it...<br/><br/>Although if he wants to get some 'intelligent conversation' he should probably give up and start talking to Thane or Virus (or, I guess, Mindwarp), as they seem to be the only non-batshit insane psychopaths within walking distance..."

Sure, there was her meeting with Thane and Velocity at the beginning, but I focused more on her getting out of prison. Other than that - she's only talked at length to Krystaal.

So he's probably going to turn down Mindwarp's offer of joining her team if he doesn't get that- especially seeing he regards everyone as too inexperienced or too psychotic to be in such a role. He's not actually interested in being a leader out of pettiness, either; it's just what he knows best, and what he feels he legitimately deserves- he thinks he's a tactical genius (he isn't- although he's still a very good tactician, just no where genius/supernatural levels. He's just able to tell what the enemy is going to do).<br/><br/>He'd probably be okay with only being given full tactical and battle command.

Only one processes food, while the other processes souls.<br/><br/>As for the souls in question it's magical, and scientific. It's magical in the way he litteraly drains the life force from them. Then his organ processes it into a usable energy which powers everything which is a scientific process.<br/><br/>Now for the portals, the scythe Grim has causes a tears a tiny hole where two dimensions join.

At least then your foundation is based in the theory of relativity and you manage to not piss off zealots. The idea of a soul is just so juvenile, and so many factors come into such a question when you say it for me. Is one soul bigger than the other? Is the age of a soul a factor on its potency? What all contains a soul? Does it have to be sentient? Why would an alien across the universe have one, Considering he is from this technologically superior race, would he not refer to souls and life and death in a different light?

For instance a person that eats healthy, and is athletic will give Grimm far more energy then the ""soul"" of a over weight, drug addict. Grimm has a fast metabolism due to all the things that absorbs the energy he processes such as his suit, and scythe. The organ holds the souls temporarily as it processes the ""souls"" before it passes on into the rest of his body. In lamens terms it's like the human digestive system only the food is ""souls""<br/><br/>I'm calling the energy he absorbs from his victims souls, because it is easier.<br/><br/>Before you ask again the max capacity to the souls he can have in this ""soul stomach"" is twenty souls, bad or good they are all the same size. Though the input of energy is less, and really bad souls can in fact do harm to Grimm's body. Though its like eating bad bread leaves him queasy, but otherwise perfectly fine.

His home had been the dark planet, Delphix. So he's developed quite an ego of being the last of such a great race. The easiest way to think of him is a reaper from human story books. He finds humans to be lesser creatures though is amused by them. As they are but, children compared to the other races in the universe. Though do not think his enlarged ego as arrogance. He knows full well what he is, and isn't capable of. Along with recognizes power when he sees it. He draws great enjoyment from humorous antics. Though don't tell him unless you wish to be without your soul.<br/><br/>I really don't think he would allow his anger to cloud his judgement to that extent, at the moment you are making him OOC, and by that I mean, you are putting your own anger caused by impatience into a character who should be only amused by such displays of human childishness.<br/><br/>Also, in your post you just GMed Venom's character. ""then Abyss felt a surge of rage so bright it made him flabbergasted."" You cannot automatically assume that that would be the case. I don't think that, Abyss' personality would not allow him to feel 'flabbergasted'.<br/><br/>I know that Kyrstaal is a meanie bum of a character, I also get angry with some of the things she does towards MindWarp, but it just means that Reap is a really good rper and can make a believable villain who sticks to their personality. *High-fives Reap* Good job by the way :3<br/><br/>And please, please, please know that I am not trying to be mean, I am merely wanting this rp to go smoothly.

Unless the character would be angry, then I utilized the crap out of it.<br/>NEVER go against what your character would do unless it is a pinnacle of change, the showing of a hidden emotion (within reason) or for someone other than themselves.<br/><br/>When you make a character, you have become a small god, in your own way. You have made a 'walking,' 'talking' 'breathing' individual who has a past and it has carved them. The same goes for writing your own personal works, rather than just Rping, which I have done before. As 'god' you are the observer. If you get angry, who the FUCK are you to take it out on your creation? You are taking away the free will that gives your creature, your creation the beauty that is. The mind of it is different than your own, and therefore fascinating.<br/>I have made characters older than I, Younger than I, and the same age. Many wiser, some naive and innocent, some arrogant and inconsiderate. Some are evil, some are good, some are in situations I will never be in no matter how bad I may desire the life I have chosen for them to live... And every single one of them has taught me a different lesson about life.<br/><br/>I am unique..... but I am not who I create.<br/><br/>And if you ask me that's pretty fucking beautiful."

Based upon his youthful appearance and ""arrogance"")<br/>Personality. Unlike the Abyss the Anointed one seems more like a deity than a human. He tries to remain as neutral, forever unbiased and never picking a side, never joining in political struggles or even dealing with petty crimes. Only in times of absolute crisis does he even move. Beyond anything he is forgiving, understanding that the world is tainted with the inability to decipher true right from true wrong. Mercy and compassion are a tight rope, and he walks it with grace. Despite the anger and blame he receives he never once has shown even agitation, even threats from the world powers do not raise his ire. (Even attacks from unnamed governments simply where met with his self defense, as soon as the assailants where rendered incapacitated he went back to meditation.)<br/><br/>Abilities:<br/>Much like armor of Abyss, The Anointed, is clad in a armor that is not of the earth. But unlike the abyss, its of the purest white, as if ivory or marble. Its armor does not take damage, it runes repel almost all physical attack. Science has proven useless in understanding where it draw energy from, but speculation suggest that if abyss was to draw from rage, Anointed draws upon a need to satiate it.<br/><br/>He no longer needs food,water, or even sleep.<br/><br/>While both armors are indeed forces of nature, Abyss is the wind that destroys the town, the anointed is the mountain that remains for them to rebuild.<br/><br/><b>WEAKNESS</b><br/>The Anointed has none. If it was to be said he had a weakness it is his mercy. He will never end a war, he will never stand for a cause. He is divine truth, and will only directly defend against Evil. Other than Abyss he has only been seen in when the loss of life is appalling. Or a person with great power steps to change the world for their own ideals.<br/><br/>Conflicts with Abyss.....Are generally documented as acts of God. Both wield power that science can not explain, but their powers seem to reach new heights when in fighting with one another. There fights have released more energy than nuclear bombs in a volcano, lives lost in the hundreds. Afterwards The Anointed shows emotions, generally sobbing and even expressing rage.<br/><br/>Extra. His spear can block the Black. Further more tip fires off bolts of energy similar to lightning. The spear once thrown makes a massive arc of energy, and forces lightning from even the clearest of sky. The final strike seems to take it up and bring it back to the knights hand....The technique is referred to as the worlds dragon. Abyss just calls it annoying."

I would like to create a small rp based upon His action early in his cycle as the lord of rage. This is only intended for players in this rp. Allowing them to rp in the world prior to arrest.<br/>For example, I wish you all to see the events that take place between Abyss and Mr.Lapsa, his initial struggle where he rejected his rage. I want to know more about Krystaal before she dawned her armor.<br/>Usurper in particular could show us more of just how epic his mecha tactician is. OH and just because I want to use this pun.

</div><br/>Real name: Chandra - Not its real name, but it claims that its real name would be impossible for humans to pronounce.<br/>Codename: Astral<br/>Age: by human standards, it looks to be about its mid twenties.<br/><br/>Personality: Astral...is a bit of a odd one. Its motives for being a 'Hero' are completely its own, and not out of any sense of justice or righteousness. As far as its concerned, this worlds problems are not its own. Astral is quiet, not talking unless spoken too. Even then, it prefers to keep it sentences short. It doesn't seem to have any form of emotion at all either, as it always keeps calm and level headed even during a fight. When not fighting it seems to just coldly acknowledge other people with little more than a small nod, or a single hand motion.<br/><br/>Ability: Astral Energy Manipulation<br/>A few examples of applications:<br/>- Chandra can create constructs made from pure Astral energy and use them in anyway it sees fit. A giant hammer, a shield, a giant fist. It is quite a versatile and formidable ability if used correctly - and destructive if used incorrectly. All it has to do is will it to exist, and it will as long as it continues to wish it.<br/><br/>- A form of Telekinesis, allows it to effect objects at a distance. The heavier the object, the more energy it takes.<br/><br/>- It also allows it the ability to be able to leave its physical body, and allows it to behave much like a ghost, moving unseen to all unless they have the ability to sense spirits and other non-physical beings. Could possess someone, or use a form of mental persuasion.<br/><br/>- Aside from its other abilities, Astral is a excellent martial artist.<br/><br/>Weakness:<br/>While Astral does seem to have many strong suits, its one major weakness is the thing it uses to fight. Drawing energy from the plane that its from is quite tiring. Battle of attrition and stamina aren't going to do it any favors.<br/><br/>Bio: Astral, as it has started to call itself, is not a being from this plane of existence. After an unknown event ripped it permanently from another realm, it wandered this plane of existence, little more than a ghost barely able to effect its surroundings. It was barely able to comprehend such a big change at first. In fact, the place that it was dumped became known to be haunted by a malicious ghost. Eventually though, it began to regain some of its lost power. Its first act, was stabilizing its presence in this world. From there, if began to learn more about this world it was thrown into, and how to use its abilities here. Soon it gained a reputation as a 'Hero' It cares not for such titles though."

[Krystaal: *gag*] She is determined to find love and often flirts with the bad boys, though she isn't very good at it. Shes shy around all men, and has a tendency to not see what is before her very eyes i.e. a love interest showing affection that she ignores. She has a lot of responsibilities put on her shoulders and often gets discouraged when theres much to handle.<br/><br/>Ability/power/s: Can control light, using it to create projectiles to use alongside her appointed blade; a purple haired transformant named Kriip, and can create bridges of light to run along. She isn't the strongest with her powers but has a natural talent for using her sword, thanks to Kriips direction.<br/><br/>Weakness: Mostly her lack of self confidence. She has the potential to be very strong but often is too scared or too doubtful to see past it. She is afraid of the dark and refuses to enter it without something to comfort her<br/><br/>Extra: During Krystaals Attack, Luneea was walking home from school with her friends when Marian cornered her and her friends, threatening to torment them. A Blade appeared in her hand suddenly and she fought back to protect her friends. After Krystaal won, shocking Luneea and giving up on her after seeing how weak she actually was, A deity appeared to her in her dream. Telling her she was destined for great things.<br/>As time went on and she recovered, Luneea met Kriip and was joined into the ranks of Lunar Valkyries. From then on she trained, finding her deceased mother was once a Lunar Valkyrie, and has improved since then.<br/><br/><img src=""http://images4.fanpop.com/image/answers/1781000/1781445_1311352754285.73res_236_300.jpg""/><br/>Name: Kriptolin Ozmark (AKA Kriip)<br/>Description: A bladed weapon forged form the fires of Luna Valkyries blacksmith, Kriip is a soul that happened to fit the bill and has trained for several years to be a good weapon to his owner. He treats her like he would a little sister and usually doesnt see her advances."

No, instead the village would send their best shaman to mitigate the potential cost sunk as well as send potentially valuable aid if the stranger was speaking the truth.

Not that he clamed superiority, he was just blessed with parts that allowed him to better help those in need., be it man or machine. So far everything seemed to check out all right. No abnormal levels of stress evident on any of the people's faces. He's wasn't an official guard on the station, but he wanted to be there if something did go wrong. This area occasionally had some run-ins with less then savory individuals, so one had to always be diligent when out on patrol.<br/><br/>""Ohhh! Look at that cool robot!"" A little earthling boy exclaimed in amazement, tapping on his flexible blue metal armor on his thigh. It made hollow clanking sounds, revealing that he wasn't solid matter, but was instead hollowed out inside with lots of wires, pistons, and other objects running through it. The boy oohed and awed as he examined his armor from every which way. His happiness made the AI deep inside Mauk feel happy as well. He couldn't explain it, but for some reason he was blessed with the gift of feeling emotions. He had them so he had to put them to good use one way or another.<br/><br/>""Western area is secure, sir!"" He said, playing along like this kid was his commander. He saluted with his left hand, and with his right he had his arm bent upwards at the elbow to point his arm canon towards the ceiling at the ""ready"" position. The kid's face brightened up at this, his day officially made. The boy pointed eagerly down the hallway. ""Go that way, Mr. Robot! The evil forces of the Zorg may strike at a moment's notice!""<br/><br/>""Yes sir!"" Mauk replied, storming down the hallway, his sleek metal form and powerful machinery allowing him to cut through the air, which was being artificially pumped through the station, like a knife. He slowed back down to a steady pace once he turned the corner and got out of sight. He didn't want to accidentally run into someone at that speed, after all. Kids were always so interesting. He didn't know his true meaning in life, but he at least knew that kids should be protected. He continued hearing in his eastward direction to scan the rest of the ship for danger, and if nothing showed up then he'd leave for someone else."

The station wouldn't have much of a radar, as it was just a civilian station, orbiting another star in the galaxy. His cruiser was a Mk. 1 Turtle Cruiser, named for being slow, but very tough in battle. It only fit one person and could use a bit more storage, but it was home. Soon he began to get his EVA gear on, he began strapping his space suit on, the armor and suit making it a tight fit. Adjusting the meters on the suit he picked up his helmet, it slid into the required spot with ease, and then a nice 'Shunk' sound was heard as it fastened to the rest of the suit. Grabbing an air tank and fastening it to his suit Rocky felt a great breath of fresh air as he began being fed oxygen from the tank. Finally he put on a backpack full of his tools and approached the airlock.<br/><br/>The airlock door shut behind him and began to depressurize the room he was in, as to not suck him into space extremely fast. Finally it finished with a beep of a red neon sign at the top saying Depressurized. He slowly crawled across his ship to its bottom, and the crouching upside down under the ship, and then springing back as he began smoothly gliding towards the ship. No sound at all in space, it was peaceful for him as he slowly hit the station, and re-adjusted to face right side up. He grabbed at a small bit of wire atop the ship and used it to propel himself further south of the station.<br/><br/>Coming across another airlock, solar panels and lights flickered as they got their power for the ship. Opening the airlock he moved in, the airlock closing behind him, he suddenly found a ton of weight as it opened up to the ship and pressurized. He quickly took off his helmet and undid his suit, looking for a place to store his items while he was on the station, he quickly found a closet, and stuffed it into the quickly, picking up his bag once more he put it on and walked through the empty maintenance shaft, lights flickered on and off, clearly stating it wasn't in good shape, a mouse ran between his feet and past giving him a slight shudder.<br/><br/>Finally he approached a door, he knew that it would be a door to the escape bay at the far east, and he had been walking northeast from the solar panels, this was quite a good feeling, as he knew he could begin the journey of taking the stations materials. Pulling his energy sword out, a nice purple glow was given in the dark shaft, he opened the maintenance door and walked inside. A few people were near, as the escape bay wasn't often used unless their was an emergency and the escape shuttle was on its way. He quickly attracted attention from a man in orange clothes. He raised his sword and yelled ""Stand down! Or be cut down!"" the man turned and ran as fast as he could to alert the crew. ""Well....That could have gone better I guess..."" he said walking down where the man ran to, passing science wing and nearing medical wing."

Or be cut down!"" He heard a voice that clearly belong to a tough sounding male shout out far down the hallway, echoing into his audio sensors faintly but still detectible. Those were unmistakable fighting words. In the past he had misinterpreted what people were saying at times, getting involved in fights that were never there to begin with, but such a statement was not to be ignored. Sure, he supposed it was possible that it was a friendly warning, but not likely. He rushed forward, nearing the end of the medical wing when what was perhaps the source of the noise darted into view. Or maybe he was just a victim due to how frightened he was appearing.<br/><br/>""What seems to be the matter?"" Mauk questioned in a calm voice. His arm cannon faced forward just in case the threat was following just behind him. He was ready for anything, be it an invasion of rabid squirrels or Godzilla, although they were a long ways from Tokyo and he reckoned that Godzilla couldn't fit on a station such as this regardless. But still he was ready for anything."

Robot? Whatever it was it was pretty damn advanced, due to the cannon poking from its arm. He turned his glowing sword off and instead took his laser pistol and aimed it near the bot. A sizable distance, stationing next to the morgue door, and he was terrible with a pistol.<i>'Bad plan bad plan bad pl-</i>His thoughts were removed as he fired three shots at the robot, he confirmed that he missed twice but the third one he couldn't pinpoint.<br/><br/>Turning and having to jab a door open likely bringing much attention to himself, he stood in the morgue. He looked around at the morgue before rushing to the door that entered med-bay, this time it wasn't budging. He quickly hid behind one of the individual iron coffins, and waited for a knock at the door."

You'll poke an eye out with that thing!"" Mauk warned the newcomer, holding up his left hand in a ""stop what you're doing"" kind of pose. Apparently this man didn't have good manners at all because he unleashed three shots anyways. At least he wasn't attacking the civilian, who managed to dart to safety down another hallway with a panicked yelp. As for himself, despite being advanced he still couldn't underestimate a weapon no matter how puny it looked. The mechanics in his legs shifted into high gear to allow him to sidestep out of harms way of the first two shots, but the man was able to make somewhat of a correction and glanced the last laser off of Mauk's left shoulder, leaving a nice little burn mark. He did a quick system check, glad to see that he still had all of his functions. He put his focus on catching up to his retreating opponent. He knocked his metal hand against the side of the damaged door.<br/><br/>""Anyone home?"" He questioned, knowing the answer already. He surveyed his new surroundings. Nobody was alive besides the suspect. He could probably afford to let loose a little more then if the fight had continued out in public. He switched his arm cannon to the ice ball function so that he could freeze his opponent and not kill him or do permanent damage to any dead that may be resting within the coffins. They'd just have to thaw out a bit before the funeral service.<br/><br/>Without knowing his exact position, he let loose a blast at a random coffin, then another, then another. Eventually he would get to the right one or his opponent would rush out to greet him."
15049,Important Nobody Vs. Geoffrey Silt!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18360-important-nobody-vs-geoffrey-silt,['Arena'],2014-03-16 15:12:00,Geoffrey Silt,"The bot walked through the door, the clacking of its footsteps alerting Rocky to its presence. An odd flicker, and then BANG CRASH. As balls of ice smashed into the coffins one after another after another. Turning to the door he quickly decided to shoot the lock on it, the blast of cold getting closer he shot the laser putting a small hole in place of the doorknob. Standing up he jumped at the door and it blasted open allowing him entrance now with ease. Quickly, but not quickly enough he jumped behind the wall he had just passed his leg, almost frozen solid, he stood against the wall as cover. He put his gun away and pulled out his glowing purple sword once more, trying to forget about his leg while he got ready. The sword flickered to life and once more gave its slight, almost silent sound. The only idea of what the bot looked like, was some sort of bald helmet, or face thing and a cannon for a hand. It was a bit blue in color, but from what he usually saw the bots were. This one must have been the station's security or something, because usually he encountered and officer or something along those lines. He raised his stiffened foot, freezing cold, and tried to fix it a bit before giving up and deciding to deal for a moment or two.<br/><br/>""Hey you, Bot, thing. What are you?"" he said finally looking at where he was, noticing to late that three doctors had stopped what they were doing to look at him. ""Get outta here!"" He shouted, waving his sword as they all turned back to their jobs in a hurry. He waited to get an attack on the, advanced, bot, for if he had killed it he could possibly reprogram it to his liking. He still wasn't terribly injured, so that meant something I guess, but a frozen leg was a setback."

I am the day!"" Mauk replied dramatically. ""I...am MaukTu!!!"" His visor gleamed heroically as he finished. His right boot was placed firmly on a stool, his left hand on his hip, and his arm canon pointed straight ahead where the man had been...had been, given the key word. While he was giving this speech the man had managed to escape through a doorway. Oopsy.<br/><br/>""Well anyways, I gave you my name, so you shall give me yours! It is only polite!"" He demanded as he placed his boot back down on the ground and began to stroll towards the doorway. ""Or better yet, tell me what you are doing here. Or best yet, put down your weapon and surrender. The best, best scenario yet is if you do all three at once, but I suppose that would be wanting one's cake and eating it too. Not that an android such as me can eat cake...""<br/><br/>He was rambling now, so he decided that he didn't want to bore his opponent so he stopped in order to wait for a reply. Perhaps he shouldn't worry about causing boredom when the fight could easily lead to far more injuries, but even the small things could lead to vastly different impressions as he had learned while interacting with humans. Who'd want to be known as that annoying robot who never shut up? Such as C-3PO? But his robotic mind shouldn't be wasting processing power thinking about this, which was the main reason why it was best to concentrate on the battle at hand for now. He would continued to walk forward until he got a reply. If he managed to get all the way across the room then he would brace himself against the wall and peak around the corner to see what was going on. Hopefully he hadn't miscalculated and his opponent had managed to escape while he was talking."

Geoffrey Silt!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18360-important-nobody-vs-geoffrey-silt,['Arena'],2014-03-18 15:10:00,Geoffrey Silt,"Rocky listened to Mauk's rambling on, guess he is station security or something! He thought, putting a hand on his slightly frozen leg. It was cold, and would likely slow him down, but for now he had a robot problem. ""Yes yes, I am Rocky! Sadly, I will not surrender as I am a pirate!"" He said aloud, as doctors ran past him to genetics, or shuffled out of med-bay all together. He watched as a doctor who had passed him began leaving genetics, he quickly grabbed him, and put his blade to him as to have him shut up.<br/><br/>""I may just be a pirate but I am sure we can talk things out. Of course, you can surrender, then the possibility of lives being lost will drop a ton, you can give me the valuables of the ship, and I leave. Nobody will have to die that way. Then finally, if you do not accept to these terms, then it is likely a man will die! At your hands!"" He tried simply to avoid combat for a bit longer, figure out a strategy against the borg before rushing in. This one was 10X as strong as any random security officer, hoping the hostage could persuade the bot, possibly even give him a chance to attack, any help would do great in his scenario, especially an easy hit. The doctor struggled, but not enough to break from Rocky's grasp, he only tightened the more the doctor struggled."

His mechanical mind was working overtime trying to find out a solution to this problem. He didn't want to allow any unnecessary casualties, but could he really give in to the demands of a pirate? This was a difficult dilemma to anyone, far less a robot such as himself. What was the most logical choice of action? The best one? If he wasn't so well built then smoke could be coming out of his metaphorical ears.<br/><br/>""Yes, let's talk. But I cannot remove my weapons, so I cannot really surrender unless I shut myself off, which I will not be doing,"" he replied at last, still positioned by the doorway. ""So...what do you want to talk about? Your favorite television show? The meaning of life? It's 24, isn't it? I never could really figure that one out...""<br/><br/>As he talked his arm cannon morphed into a glowing blue sword made out of plasma. He might have to jump in at close range given the situation, so it was best to prepare while he was able."

Geoffrey Silt!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18360-important-nobody-vs-geoffrey-silt,['Arena'],2014-03-24 21:06:00,Geoffrey Silt,"Hearing that Mauk was open to talk Rocky began to slowly move past the morgue door, to the entrance of med-bay. It could give him a back up plan to escape. Finally he stopped backing up, as he neared the way out. ""Alright then Mauk, if you won't be shutting down, I'de like to know what exactly you are. What type of bot exactly? I don't recognize you."" He said. his leg still cold, still wet from the ice that grazed it while the bot shot down coffins.<br/><br/>The hostage continued a struggle, and Rocky was not up to letting go as of yet, he thought of some sort of clever way to get an attack on the bot, he didn't know how to attack it, and he needed a strategy. The talk Mauk spoke of, it made him chuckle slightly, and got him to finally say. ""The answer is 42, not 24, you should know that. Anyways, slowly, make your way out of the morgue while you talk, please."" He said finally, getting ready for an attack on Mauk, in an attempt to stab or slash at it."

Geoffrey Silt!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18360-important-nobody-vs-geoffrey-silt,['Arena'],2014-03-29 01:20:00,ImportantNobody,"Mauk paused for a matter of seconds, processing that tough question that he often asked himself. What was he? He was designed as a weapon of war by an organization independent of any military, but he didn't let that define him. He abandoned his ways long ago and would never look back to such a life of forced violence upon the innocent. Therefore, that was not the correct answer to the question. Then what was?<br/><br/>""I am...a lone ranger. Protector of the innocent and one who is traveling alone within the cold, dark expanses of the universe in search of my purpose. I don't have any other allegiance or purpose then that,"" he answered at last. ""Perhaps if I had a soul this answer might come easier to me, or perhaps not.""<br/><br/>He did as the man requested, backing away from the morgue slowly until he was standing out in the hallway just outside the doorway. He didn't have a mouth, but one could swear he had grinned when the man corrected his intentional error on the meaning of life being 42. So this man knew his stuff. This ""meaning of life"" was apparently wide spread knowledge, so perhaps it was true after all? But how did that robot come to such a conclusion while Mauk couldn't? Perhaps he didn't have enough time or processing power. He was completely at a loss. Oh well. He'd have time to contemplate the meaning of life later. For now he had a hostage to free.<br/><br/>""All right, I'm outside of the morgue. Release the hostage,"" he demanded."

Geoffrey Silt!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18360-important-nobody-vs-geoffrey-silt,['Arena'],2014-04-01 19:11:00,Geoffrey Silt,"Rocky nodded, knowing the bot wasn't of his usual thoughts he knew he would need to do it a little different, but whatever he could try his usual tactics. The bot spoke of itself as though it was some sort of cowboy, running around saving the lives of everybody it felt fit, but then again, it wouldn't concern him, most bots did, they were just confined to a single station, bound by laws people uploaded into them. It was even better when the bot asked that the person be released, a slightly chuckle in his words ""Well you see, I can't exactly release them, you see, they are always going to be confined in this metal deathtrap of a station."" He said quietly.<br/><br/>""But I guess I can release them now, you did what I said."" He said getting ready to rush the robot, it would be a large risk, as it wasn't what he usually encountered in the line of bots, and that's to say he ever ran into robots, it wasn't often at the very least. He yawned slightly, the robot was quite demanding with his words, completing his thoughts that the bot wasn't bound by any rules in his code. Finally he pulled his sword down slashing the hostage, they fell to the ground, they would bleed out in only a few moments Rocky thought as he pulled his sword back up.<br/><br/>He raced towards Mauk slashing towards the bots left arm, in an attempt to take it off, first the arms, then the legs, then the bot will be, mostly useless he thought while he raced for the bot."

It also might lack in detail from what I know.</span></b>[/pu]<br/><br/><b>Name:</b> Rocky Ram<br/><b>Age:</b>43<br/><b>Gender:</b>Male<br/><b>Race:</b>Human<br/><b>Appearance:</b> His attire would be a brand new black suit, laced shoes, dark used armor over his suit and a gas mask. Other then this he is a strong and muscled individual, a black goatee and cut hair. He is missing his index finger on his left hand, and has a prosthetic right arm with his name Christians into it.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b> A very happy and talkative man, even when speaking with an enemy, he will talk to them like close friends. And even when dying or injured beyond fixing he will gladly have a smile on his face and skip in his step. He can of course be serious, but only when he needs to and is likely to avoid seriousness. He won't kill a man if it is not needed, though that is not to say he won't at all, is it is in his way or in the way of what he is doing. If what he is doing requires for him to do something he usually wouldn't like to do, he will do it no doubt. He is although, extremely impatient and if something is taking much to long or longer then it should he is likely to get agitated or angry.<br/><br/><b>[u]Abilities</b><br/><br/><b>Physical Abilities:</b> What he loses in speed he makes up with extreme strength and brute force, though he can't negate the damage of strong hits, he can shrug them off momentarily. He can lift up up to 100 pounds, but when using his added strength with his prosthetic he can lift 1 ton of weight. <br/><b>Mapped</b> He, uses his free time to construct or find maps of areas or places. This gives him a way to easily get around most of the areas he is in, though doesn't work for forests, deserts, or general places.,<br/><b>Dirty Fighter</b> When faced with a much stronger opponent will resort to tactics unheard of, such as biting and scratching.<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Weapons[/bpEnergy Sword</span></b> A purple scimitar like sword of pure energy. <br/><b>Small Laser Pistol</b> A small portable pistol, firing a green laser at about the same distance as a handgun. Can fire up to 5 shots before needing to recharge.<br/><b>C4 charge</b> A single breaching C4 charge. Used mainly for blowing the hinges off of locked doors as to gain access.<br/><br/><b>[u]Weaknesses</b><br/><br/>*He isn't very fast, his running speed could be compared to that of a jogger. He is also not well with ranged combat, likely to miss many times before he hits. Prolonged exposure to being injured will over time slow him to a crawl. ie if you gave him a small cut or burn and he left it untreated for an hour or so it would begin to slow him and effect how he does things. <br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Bio</span></b><br/><br/>Rocky was a ruffian as a kid, often fighting with the neighbors kids a lot, or getting into general trouble. Throughout his life things got slower and slower and slower until it came to a halt, and he got tired of things. This made him make a few somewhat stupid life decisions to get in the pirate business. For many years he rode in a small group of thieves and murderers, until finally he decided to go it alone and do things he wanted to do, mainly capturing stations, looting them, and then leaving them. But he is often to head off to a planet of some kind to accomplish this.

Havensport was a massive city and the its tall buildings rose up over the sea line. Right behind the gray and white buildings was a massive range of forested covered mountains, already green from the late Spring sun. It was truly a lovely sight to behold and already the passengers of the<i>Lady Anne</i>cruise vessel were all conjugating towards the front of the ship to take in the view of the majestic city.<br/><br/>While everyone made there way to the front, a few wandered towards the back of the ship. One of those people, David Norris, was elbowing and shoving anyone who got in his way. He wasn't really a patient man but he was dependable and that's exactly what the Ranger institution needed out of him. The sound of the ship's horn meant that the incoming Korrano Rangers were expected to meet at the back of the ship to receive their first set of orders under their new division. Yes, a life of cold and solitude awaited them, but no way was David going to tell them about that. In fact, coming during the Spring was all designed to get Rangers comfortable and enjoy it before the harshness of a six month long winter would rough them up. Nope... it was probably best he kept that to himself seeing as it wasn't too late for any of the Rangers to request a null transfer.<br/><br/>The back of the ship was mostly vacant, save for a few individuals who have seen it all before. David took a spot where he could lean over the back and watch the wake stir up the water. The Rangers knew where to meet and they knew David. If they ever had any question on who he is, they only had to look for his bald, shiny head, and rough growing goatee."

Her long black hair floated behind her in the sea breeze as she walked along the side of the craft. She had heard about her destination with the 'Ryders' but it was a brand new region to her, a land of cold and unforgiving mystery. It was rumored that the legendary ice bird pokemon dwelled somewhere in the mountains but she didn't want to get her hopes up of actually seeing Articuno with her own two eyes. There were also theories that new pokemon that hadn't been discovered yet were hiding among the mysterious caves and hidden spaces. The very thought of finding something brand new sent a shiver down her spine and Silvia skipped a small step as she did so.<br/><br/>In Silvia's mind boats weren't as dependable as her pokemon and they made her nervous, so all of her companions would remain in their pokeballs until she stepped foot on solid ground. Several people moved out of her way as she picked her way through the small crowd, her angled features giving her a more fierce look than she actually acted. The truth was that she was a very kind and caring person underneath but her inability to interact with people caused her to put up a wall that only pokemon ever seemed to break through. Still, in no way was she weak and was willing to do what it took to achieve her dream of becoming a Ranger. Ever since she had heard about this specific ranger group, Silvia had trained herself, and her pokemon, hard to reach the standards that they looked for and had set her mind to joining no other group but the Snow Ryders. Even now her eyes sparkled with anticipation in complete contrast to the straight face she still wore. It wasn't difficult to start picking out other Rangers as she made her way to the back, each of them heading in the same direction. Most had a specific look, stride or some other feature that they might all have shared and it was these she looked for among the other passengers. Finally she stepped forward, eyes snapping to a shiny, bald surface at the back of the boat. She raised an eyebrow but shrugged and stood leaning carefully against the bannister."

It was the only reason Jynmi was able to be out of bed before noon, which was his normal time for it. He was on his feet, looking around like a wild animal, in seconds. For these first several minutes, the world was utter confusion. He hadn't the slightest idea of where he was, or why he was there. Once he remembered there was still a moment of confusion, but the what turned to why. It didn't last long though, and he quickly accepted his decision. ""And so it begins."" He said as he turned around from the window towards the sea to look at the uniform he ironed and hung the night before. ""Alright. Let's get this over with."" He dressed quickly, and had a light breakfast of toast, eggs, and orange juice. He forgot to grab a bag of pokemon food before the boat left the docks so his pokemon ate the same things he did, and then right back into their balls. There was a mirror in the restroom that he thought of looking at after he brushed his teeth, but he decided there was enough shock to the system for one day. He grabbed his balls, and hurried out the door.<br/><br/>He didn't know his way around the boat very well. He had spent most of his time locked up in his room. Add to that the crowd of people that seemed bent on getting in his way. He did his best to be polite, but with some people, more than you'd think, considering his size, were just stubborn. So he pushed, and nobody complained, while he was within hearing distance. Luckily, he just needed to head towards the back of the boat, and he found the room. At least he thought it was the room, but he wasn't certain, right away. ""Uhm."" Jynmi mumbled, and looked around. There was a few people already inside, and one of them was balled. ""Oh good."" He walked up to the bald man, because he remembered someone bald being in charge. ""This is the ranger's meeting, right?"""

Half-blind in the light, he peered around, trying to get his bearings. It appeared he was already at the back of the ship, and fully dressed. It took him a while to remember he had worked his way out here before the sun had even risen, to avoid the press of the crowds. Not being much of a people person, he was glad to avoid the commotion at the front of the boat.<br/><br/>Moving his hands down to his belt, he felt along it confirm the six balls and small pouch along his waist. The familiar weight of his bag rested against his back, though he did not feel compelled to check that as well. It was not unheard of for thieves to be aboard cruise ships, but any currently aboard were likely picking the pockets of the distracted mass on the other end of the ship. Once he was sure of his belongings, he looked around again, quickly spotting a familiar bald head. Jeremy didn't have to move far to make eye contact with the owner of said head, showing that he was present and accounted for."

The girl jumped when they hit her, yet she didn't bother to wipe them off. Having spent many long minutes soaking in the sun, she appreciated a bit of cooling mist. Raising her head to the sun once more, she closed her eyes and prepared to relax. However, her relaxation was cut short when she heard a long, loud horn. Her deep blue eyes blinked open, and she took a few steps back, away from the edge of the ship. Dete was closer to the end of the ship, where there were less people crowding the deck. She did rather like it this way; nobody was there to yell in her ear or yank her around. The young woman did enjoy talking to people, however, she found that she got extremely frustrated when people tend to start yelling or acting like maniacs when they are excited. For that reason alone, she preferred to avoid events such as parties or gatherings. Sometimes people didn't know when to stop.<br/><br/>Dete whistled. Her Staravia swooped down from the sky, and landed on her outstretched arm. ""That's a good girl..."" she praised the Pokemon, and lightly pet it's head. The Staravia seemed quite content with the praise it got, for it leaned in closer and closed its eyes. After a few seconds of time with her Staravia, Dete put the Pokemon back in its Pokeball. After doing so, she began to make her way around to where the Pokemon rangers would be meeting. She was excited and ready to prove her worth. Dete spent nearly her entire teenage years learning, so she didn't feel intimidated or nervous in the slightest.<br/><br/>She walked around the back of the boat, and stopped when she saw other trainers. ""Hey,"" she greeted out to anybody who was willing to listen. Taking a spot beside a few other people, Dete made herself comfortable. She lightly felt the Pokeball that her Staravia was in and looked around. It was certainly an interesting crowd, and she hoped that she'd grow to get to know some of the people better. Dete did know, however, that she wouldn't be able to be friends with absolutely everyone. That's just how life works. Instead, she hoped for the best, and prepared herself for the adventures to come."

Pyroar, that was laying on the bed leaned over and scooped the Tik up in his powerful jaws and put him back on the bed, the Tik pokemon then jumped into his main and snuggled down to get warm, due to the rapidly dropping temperature. Richard coughed out a bit of smoke, before getting back to his meditation. Although, a few seconds later, the horn of the liner sounded to indicate that they were close to land. He took out his pokeballs and returned Pyroar and Joltik. He then walked out into the hallway with Kadabra, before walking towards the onboard Pokemon Center. He looked at the storage machine.<br/><br/>""Sorry Joltik, but i'm gonna need Haunter for this."" he said, before putting Joltik in the box and withdrawling Haunter. He then walked upstairs onto the deck and walked to the port railings of the ship and looked out into land, the salty air feeling very refreshing in his lungs. He took a deep inhale. ""You smell that, Kadabra? Smells like hope... You think we'll see Dad there?"" He asked.<br/><br/>""Kadabra..."" It replied sullenly. He then looked down into the water, the waves passing very fast. He then saw a... strange outline. He then leaned over and almost fell overboard as he saw the outline he recognized from his old book.<br/><br/>""LUGIA!!!"" he yelled. ""IT'S HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!"" he almost fell overboard, but Kadabra grabbed him and pulled him back. Although, Kadabra was then surprised as Kadabra scooped him up in his arms. ""IT'S HIM!!!"" he roared with laughter. He then looked back to see the vague outline move out of sight. He charged towards the back of the boat as he saw the outline disappear. He waved his hands like a madman ""LUGIA!!!"" he screamed. Kadabra then looked up at him and tugged his jacket tails.<br/><br/>""Kadabra?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""NO IT'S NOT A WAILORD, IT'S HIM, IT'S LUGIA, IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A WA-"" At that point, he saw a Wailord tail raise out of the ocean before splashing back down, the same direction from where he saw the outline move. Richards head dropped and he put his head on the railing. ""It... It was a Wailord..."" he sighed. Kadabra climbed up to the railing and put his hand on Richards head to comfort him. ""Thanks..."" he said."

She had spent the majority of the trip hypnotized by the water, often catching of glimpse of aquatic Pokemon along the way. Bright sunbeams gave her usual mossy green eyes a vivid emerald appearance as they shone on her soft, childish features. Some sweet-smelling ocean mist gently sprayed her cropped dark hair as the sea breeze picked up a little. She quickly clutched at her sunhat to prevent it from flying off.<br/><br/>The sound of the horn pierced the air and blared across the vessel, and the unpleasantly sharp sound made her flinch. It was only then that she snapped back to reality, suddenly realizing that her - and the rest of the Rangers's - destination was near. The fact that Faye signed up for the Rangers was something unusual for her to do, as she usually preferred to be a bit more solitary in her training. It wasn't that she disliked people, but she always was too engrossed in her lone training and studies to realize she was a recluse. Faye had not anticipated that she would even be accepted into the Rangers. and when the invitation came. she couldn't pass up an opportunity to go to Korrano. The thought of a new region fascinated her, and she had a burning desire to learn about every part of it, no matter how harsh the winter would soon be. Faye had an insatiable curiosity ever since she was a child, and it only would grow once she reached Korrano. She also wanted to prove her worth, that she could make her life experience as a Pokemon trainer useful as a Ranger.<br/><br/>She pulled away from her spot on the railing and started to make her way to the rear of the ship. A familiar, invisible, intangible presence floated directly behind her shoulder, trailing her as she briskly walked across the ship. Faye rarely kept her ever-devoted Haunter captive in its Pokeball, the friendly ghost Pokemon silently followed her day and night like a second shadow and only shifted into physical form when she called for it. They had never once been separated ever since she caught it in her hometown. A small smile graced her features as the comforting presence of her loyal Haunter at her back eased her slight nervousness. At the corner of her eye she saw several other Pokemon trainers headed the same way she was. She soon spotted the bald man and reached the meeting area. Faye watched the other trainers arrive, and she felt the growing anticipation of the new journey ahead."

""Lu."" Her eyes opened at the sound of a pokemon near her, showing her lime green eyes to the world, then turned her attention to who the voice belonged to. It was her Lucario, the very same one she received as a Riolu from a close friend of hers in the Sinnoh Region. He had on a long white scarf and sported a pair of goggles on his head just like his trainer next to him.<br/><br/>""Don't worry Lucario I heard the horn"", she said then looked at him with a smile. ""We're going to another region now, exciting isn't it?"" He nodded his head at her. ""We're going to be Pokemon Rangers now and not just any kind, we're going to be the Snow Ryders. I know it'll be just as fun to be a ranger, just like it was fun being a trainer. Though Pokemon Rangers handle different problems and help people and pokemon alike.""

Might as well meet the rest of the new guys coming out here."" With this he began striding off, his Mightyena right by his side as they worked their way through the crowd. With his new Torchic riding on Sinapu's back, he got many glances by the people seeing this as an odd sight, but Veyas was to focused to care or even notice. Thinking about how cramped his other pokemon must be, when he found a open area compared to the crowds he was fighting he let out the rest of the team, Houndour and Absol, sadly not Rapidash because he knew she wouldnt fit. ""Come on guys, almost to the meeting.""<br/><br/>Reflecting on his years he's traveled and worked as a Ranger, Veyas began wondering about how he'll fare without Charizard and how Charizard is faring without him, he'll have to call up his sister soon, and maybe find out where the rest of his family is. No time to keep thinking though, for he was now at the door to the meeting room. ""Alright, time to see the others,"" he sighed out as he opened the door letting in his 3 'dogs' and Torchic.

He carried a dark presence about him, pale white skin on his slim body. A few of the deckhands grunted at him, ""Take 'yer hood off boy"". He snickered as he pulled down his hood.

He was old, somewhere in his mid-fifties by now. Maybe this was going to be his last year because he was starting to feel tired and as he stared off into the horizon, he could feel his eyes slowly close as the gentle rock of the ship and the sound of the waves invited him to sleep.<br/><br/>""-ister David how nice to finally make your acquaintance."" Startled awake, David snorted as he turned around to see who had said his name. It was a young lad with a very eager face. ""Ah yes, Ranger Veyas, it is nice to meet you two."" It probably came as a surprise that the gruff looking old man was actually quite friendly and even stranger was his ability to put a name to a face. In fact, he could pretty much name every new Ranger on board. Speaking of which... it seemed like most of them were here. ""Hm... Is this everybody?"" He addressed the whole crowd. A few people seemed to be missing but the time was set and the meeting should have already begun. ""No matter, I suppose. I guess they won't be joining us...""

I'm David Norris, co-director of operations up here so I'm pretty much in charge of what happens to you all up here. Now you all probably know what you are supposed to do but to give you some direction I have a Senior Ranger waiting for you all when we make port. She'll kind of point you all in the right direction. Her name is elrrr..."" David rubbed his forehead as he entered his thoughts.<i>What did she want to be called again? For goodness sake, the woman must really have an identity crisis.</i>""...Uh... well just look for red hair. I believe she said something about Cafe Sur but it'd be best to try every place on the waterfront just to be thorough.""<br/><br/>David wasn't really a good public face, which was fine, but when briefing new Rangers, he didn't have much to say. ""Oh! I went ahead and tasked some of the cabin boys to stash your new gear in your rooms. I believe it consists of a Holomap of the region, which will have fancy interaction to help you navigate. A Pokedex or an upgrade if you already have one, that will be up to date with all known information. It will even record any newly discovered Pokemon and with the analysis of a researcher, it will provide data to all Ranger Pokedexes in the region. You get the official Ranger gear which includes heavy winter gear if you need it. A video phone which is supposed to be pretty good with the weather but I've heard that Rangers had trouble using it in vicious blizzard conditions. And finally you get a pair of Bliz-Goggles which will help you see in heavy blizzard conditions. I think it uses SONAR or something. Anyway that's all I got.""<br/><br/>David peered past the group as he saw the ship threw out its heavy chains to dock. ""Well Korrano awaits. I'll see you all out there!""<hr/>""That's our girl!"" The Senior Ranger, Mya Mayfield exclaimed while in the company of her two most loyal Pokemon, Esperon and Houndoom. Whatever David told them, she hoped that it would eventually lead them to Cafe Sur.

Do we have to go find her immediately or do we have time to stretch our legs and explore a bit first?""

The older man seemed to be a little unsure, Faye noted, as he announced the instructions for the new Rangers.<i>Room, gear, cafe-something, red hair-woman...</i>She quickly mentally repeated the instructions in her head, a tad paranoid of ending up not being on the right track. She began to think about the 'heavy blizzard conditions' that David mentioned - and it lingered in her mind for a bit. Faye was no novice Pokemon trainer, but she still felt slight dread at the thought of trudging through the harsh storms of Korrano she had read about prior to the trip. She looked up at the voices of the other Rangers, one introducing themselves and another asking something Faye had wondered as well.

Inside this packet I have included several items that may interest you and will give you a brief overlay of what to expect from this relatively new region. Please take the time to fill out the Ranger Transfer Inquiry forms and mail them back. These are to insure that our information on you is current and to provide your fellow Rangers a brief overview of their new collages.

</blockquote><br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i62.tinypic.com/w18fnb.png""/></center><br/><br/>—What is a ""Snow Ryder""?<br/><div class=""bb-indent"">The nickname ""Snow Ryder"" dates back to the very settlers of Korrano, specifically one of the families that first settled the region, the Ryders. The Ryder family at the time was in charge with the security of the community and with the assistance of their Pokemon, they managed to protect the community. Pokemon and humanity in unison, just like what us Rangers ascribe to. As time passed, the Ryders became more and more comfortable with Pokemon and eventually they began breeding them. Today, the Ryder family has one of the largest ranches in the world and revered for having the best Ice Pokemon. Even though most of the family works the ranch, they still maintain a strong presence in the Korrano Ranger division. Thus, the Ranger division in Korrano has proudly taken up the nickname ""Snow Ryder"" in reverence to this esteemed family. <br/><br/>In concordance with our traditions and their's, you and your fellow Rangers will maintain the healthy relationship between Pokemon and humanity. You will intervene on behalf of both parties and are expected to make the best decision possible. You are tough, maybe even the toughest, Rangers we have and nothing less is expected of you. Good luck and make us proud!</div><br/><br/>—Sights to see?<br/><div class=""bb-indent"">While Korrano is most famous for it's bitterly cold winters, it enjoys cool, refreshing Summers and Springs. The town of Havensport houses the regions capital as well as your division headquarters. It is a vast metropolis and provides all the amenities you'd expect.It offers a great retreat with its lavish hotels and casinos. The second largest city is Marston City. This boomtown practically grew overnight offering one of the only escapes from on Korrano's inferior island. The twin towns of Sraxion and Jraxion offer sea-faring services to cross between Korrano's Superior and Inferior Islands. Windleaf, Miracle City, and Hearth City are smaller settlements but can accommodate the tired Ranger. Skyreach is the last settlement and the mixture between magma and ice makes this place very attractive for the off-duty Ranger. The hot springs are said to hvae mystical healing powers. There are also a number of researcher camps set up across the region. A map has been provided.</div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div>
</div><br/><br/>—What about Pokemon?<br/><div class=""bb-indent"">The cool climates of Korrano offers a haven for Ice Pokemon and they hold the vast majority of the population. Dragon Pokemon call the mountains around Skyreach Volcano home as well as, a large number of Fire Pokemon who hang close to the volcano and the magma fields close by. Articuno, the legendary Bird, occasionally roosts in the mountains. He is not to be bothered by Rangers, however. Meanwhile a vast number of Water Pokemon hug the shallow shores around Ranger's Cape due to the isolation and the abundance of food. Finally in the Southern, greener parts, most types of Pokemon are found. While most Pokemon are known and documented, Researchers and even Rangers are still discovering new types. Keep an eye out for new Pokemon!<br/><br/>It is important to note the climate when you are considering your Pokemon. Grass and Bug Pokemon may find the Southern parts of Korrano comfortable but in the Northern parts, they'll find it hard to adapt and will likely not be much of an assistance. Ice Pokemon will thrive but Fire Pokemon will provide a hot edge in the cold climates. Please keep that in mind when considering your Pokemon for this trip.</div><br/><br/>—New Ranger Inquiry<br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

Richard was raised by his mother and Grandmother, both spirit mediums. It was tradition in their family that Males would become Psychics and females would become Spirit Mediums. Richard, however, was trained by his grandmother as a Spirit Medium. He was very close to his Grandmother, and when his fathers messages stopped, she convinced him to go and search for him. The problem was that he lacked money. He didn't have the funds to travel across the world... However, his last communication said that he had tracked Lugia to the Korrano region, he had also seen a large poster that advertised joining the Pokemon Rangers. He went to their recruiting office in Celadon to enquire about joining, which is where he ran into Professor Juniper, a genius in the field of Pokemon research, after talking with her for a short while, he accidentally let slip that he was a psychic. She was rather curious, and asked if he would help her with her research into the Psychic relationship that people and Pokemon share. Her first experiment was with a Joltik that he raised, however, upon hearing that his ability to psychiclly converse with Pokemon didn't work with Dark-Types, she gave him a Larvitar to raise, knowing that, once it evolved into Tyranitar, it would gain Dark as a type, she wanted to know if the bond they forged would hold up when it evolved. Her second experiment was to give him an egg to hatch to see if bonds were stronger between those who raise their pokemon from an egg.<br/><br/>In return, she pulled a few strings she had with the Rangers and convinced them to fast-track him into them. He made it through basic training and is now on his way to Korrano region, to help people, and with any luck, might locate his father alive and well... And hopefully Lugia with him..."

<br/>4. Zekrom<br/><br/>Biography:Mike is a very experienced and very mature trainer. He conquered the Pokémon league in all 5 regions and became champion of each. <br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>As I was looking through everyone's character. I noticed you have a legendary which I'm not too comfortable with. I think it adds a really unfair advantage for you because legendaries are just that legendary. I would have to say no to that. Sorry.<br/><br/>Secondly, being champion of all five regions is extraordinary. Very extraordinary. I really don't mean to restrict you but I think that being champion of all five regions is also a bit unfair to the other players. We, as Rangers, are supposed to be good so I can maybe see having a single league championship but all five within about eleven years passing seems like a lot.<br/><br/>Those are just two things I don't like but I do like the diversity of Pokemon you gathered from your journey. If I might make a recommendation, maybe Micheal still did travel across all five regions and beat a few gyms here and a few gyms there? He'll still be as epic as you envisioned but in a more realistic fashion. Having fifteen or so badges is no small feat!"

Along the way she spent time with each individual pokemon she had caught and earned their respect before going after any others. She had no interest in the gym battles that most trainers went to in their quests to become the champion but she did earn herself a couple of badges in the Sinnoh Region. Most of the time, however, she spent travelling the many regions and strengthening her relationship with her pokemon. Silvia and her team move as one, sometimes not needing any verbal directions to understand what she is asking for.</i><br/><br/>EDIT: Just reread my Bio on this... and I am sorely disappointed in my inability to check my own writing. The mistakes I have to change in this. >.<"

<br/>As I was looking through everyone's character. I noticed you have a legendary which I'm not too comfortable with. I think it adds a really unfair advantage for you because legendaries are just that legendary. I would have to say no to that. Sorry.Secondly, being champion of all five regions is extraordinary. Very extraordinary. I really don't mean to restrict you but I think that being champion of all five regions is also a bit unfair to the other players. We, as Rangers, are supposed to be good so I can maybe see having a single league championship but all five within about eleven years passing seems like a lot. Those are just two things I don't like but I do like the diversity of Pokemon you gathered from your journey. If I might make a recommendation, maybe Micheal still did travel across all five regions and beat a few gyms here and a few gyms there? He'll still be as epic as you envisioned but in a more realistic fashion. Having fifteen or so badges is no small feat!<br/>

From an early age she had an affinity with the neighboring Ghost Pokemon in the area, developing a bond with a Haunter that eventually became her most loyal Pokemon. However, she grew tired of her dull surroundings and broke free of her hometown, toward a goal of simply exploring and experiencing the rest of the world. While in still Kanto, Faye didn't care much about conquering gyms. Instead she was fascinated by the natural world and spent time studying wild Pokemon and training and bonding with her own. Later she traveled to Johto and decided to try her luck at collecting all the gym badges in the region. She was successful, and subsequently went on to eventually earn all badges in Hoenn & Sinnoh as well. She did not challenge the Elite in any of the mentioned regions, however. She returned back to her homeland Kanto to continue studying Pokemon. When she heard of the Snow Ryders, she was intrigued and decided to join, seeing it as a chance to experience and learn about a whole new region of Pokemon - Korrano.<br/><br/>EDIT: Turned out listing my pokemon as images was a bad idea. one of the images didn't even show up - I had a Ponyta, I hope it isn't too late to fix the images. :I"

Mightyena (Sinapu)<br/>2. Rapidash<br/>3. Houndour<br/>4. Absol<br/>5. Torchic<br/>6.<br/><br/>Stored: None<br/><br/>Biography: Veyas was born to the stormwolf family, a family of pokemon breeders in the Hoenn region. His Mightyena has been with him since birth, originally a poocheyena. The stormwolf family was originally from the Kanto region where Veyas's father traveled looking to become a breeder, but knowing he needed to travel with a pokemon he talked to Professor Oak (Or depending on the timeline [insert name here]) and got a charmander who became Veyas's current Charizard as a gift from his father.<br/>After becoming officially licensed Veyas went through much training hardship and maybe some brash near death experiences. Throughout his travels he hasn't much cared for taking on the gym leaders in Hoenn because he knew most of them through his family, so after feeling like he traveled enough of Hoenn, he made off for Almia to one of the Pokemon Ranger Academies.<br/>He graduated, 5th in class out of the 31 students. They sent him off to, Johto where he met his Houndour separated from its pack. While he took Houndour back to its pack, it bonded with Sinapu forming enough of a bond, it chose to join with Veyas.<br/>Veyas was assigned to Korrano after 2 years of service in Johto. He was prepping for the move when he decided to check up on his family along the way. Back in Hoenn for a short while to find his 2 brothers have gone to follow his footsteps, 1 of his sisters still working at the family breedery, and his other sister joining with the Officer Jenny's as an assistant. But to his dismay his Mother and Father both died shortly before he came home, defending an absol in the mountains, both were blown off by a Skarmory using gust. Veyas saw to it that if his parents were to die for this pokemon, he should care for it. He left his Charizard at the breedery with his sister, to live out the rest of its days near its first friend, and trainer. Before leaving he was gifted a Rapidash and a Torchic by one of his friends, Sanera the daughter of Flannery, whose training to become Pokemon Master.<br/><br/>Now on board the ship, and well on his was to a new adventure in Korrano."

A top graduate of an academy and then going on to be stationed in Kanto for two years would work. BUT I have no idea how long someone would be in a Ranger Academy for so let's say it took 4 to 5 years? This makes you 16 or 17. Just an idea.<br/><br/>And yes, the reason I asked that is because I want the Pokemon to grow and develop with the character. Evolution is just one way of doing that.

15223,The Protectors,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18409-the-protectors,['Casual'],2014-03-23 10:19:00,Jones Sparrow,"The night was cold, and crisp in the Colorado mountains. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, but the thick trees made the stars barely visible. The small and friendly town of Brooksfield sat right in the middle. The town had the essentials. It had electricity, a grocery store, a sheriff's department, a bar, and cabins where the citizens live. There was only one road that let people enter and leave the town. The streets were completely deserted, the only lights coming from lamp posts, or windows of the late nighters watching the last of their shows, or reading. The sounds of nature filled the night... and the sound of glass breaking.<br/><br/>Harry's Storage, the local grocery store, seemed normal, except that the window was shattered. In the pitch darkness were sounds of gnawing, and grunts of relief and pleasure. Deep in the darkness was a man in the meat aisle, empty trays of what used to hold raw meat, and in the corner was the figure of a young man wearing a flannel, and jeans, feasting on the meat. The creature laughed a bit, loving the taste of the blood and raw steak, but then stopped, then snapping his head to see behind him.<br/><br/>Standing at the end of the aisle was a tall, strong shouldered man wearing a leather trench coat, boots, jeans, and an old cowboy hat. In his hand was an axe, ""Evenin', sir.... I believe the sign said that this place is closed for tonight.... and you have to pay before eating the merchandise."" The man in the hat said, completely calm. The other man's face was covered in blood, with dark pits for eyes, and his response was a soul shivering screech, his whole face turning white, long, and fangs that would cut diamonds. He then inhaled and snarled. ""You reek of the death of my kind.... You must be a Ford..."" The used-to-be man said.<br/><br/>The man known as Benjamin Ford gave a nod. ""You can either come quietly, or we can settle this the not so easy way."" Benjamin Ford said simply, staring down the creature. The vampire laughed. ""You are old... Almost near the age of your curse. I am stronger, faster, and immortal! You cannot defeat me!"" It laughed. This man was clearly a new comer. The vampire leaped up and charged at Ben faster than a person could blink, but Ben just as quickly side stepped, and moved his axe, a large howl came from the creature of darkness as he crashed in to an aisle the monster was clearly shocked, touching the spot where thick, black blood came out of a large cut across its chest. It screeched again, and charged.<br/><br/>Benjamin was expecting that. He pulled a small object out of his pocket, and struck it against a shelf. The object was a flare that when struck against any dry surface, produced a blinding light, much brighter than the sun itself. Ben looked away, closing his eyes. The vampire screamed in agony, crashing in to another aisle, clawing at its eyes. The light soon died out, and Ben walked over to the body that was still screaming in pain. The vampire looked up at Ben with the little sight he had, with a face of complete terror. Benjamin raised his axe, and the vampire screamed one last time.<hr/>""Take the body out near the cemetery, and tell Harry that a mountain lion wandered in, hungry from all the hunters taking their prey."" Benjamin said to a fellow Protector, the town's vampire hunters. The origin of their town became more of a legend, fiction more than fact... And it was best that the people didn't know the truth. ""Yes, Sheriff."" The woman said, walking off with two others. The red and blue lights shone. Benjamin Ford wasn't only the leader of the Protectors, but also the County's Sheriff.<br/><br/>Jason Hunt walked up to Ben, staring at the scene. ""Sorry I'm late... How bad's the damage?"" Jason asked, putting his hand in his deputy coat pockets, shivering a bit from the cold. ""ah, a few cartons of meat, bent aisle shelves, and crushed goods, nothing too serious... I'll stop by and give him some money tomorrow.... and you can ask if you can help clean up tomorrow."" Ford said with a smile, and Jason sighed. ""You got it, Sheriff... You should get some sleep. You look exhausted. We can take it from here"" Ben was about to protest, but Jason held up his hand. ""You have first shift tomorrow morning anyway. Plus you're supposed to meet Constance tomorrow for breakfast. You two haven't spent time with each other for a while.""<br/><br/>Benjamin sighed. He loved his daughter more than anything. Ever since she decided to stay with him when her mother left, he made sure that nothing bad would ever happen to her... but her being a Ford Ben has always had a feeling she's been up to something. ""I'll make sure everything is going in order first, then I'll head home..."" Ford said, patting Jason on the back."
15224,The Protectors,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18409-the-protectors,['Casual'],2014-03-23 14:24:00,Rusalka,"With Johann Sebastian Bach's<i>Air on the G String</i>playing softly and eloquently in the background through her BOSE iPod speaker dock, the red-haired woman sighed deeply peeling back the curtains draped over her living room window with one hand and glancing outward into the thick obsidian shadows of another cold and lonesome night in the wilds of Colorado, a night where most women of her age...well..most ""human"" women...would be flocking to the local bar, most usually dressed in a provocative manner, tops cut enough to show more than a generous portion of cleavage and skirts so short....Rebecca could barely consider them skirts. Yes, a night such as this would be so full of debauchery, of drinking and running wild for that last youthful fling before old age sets in, but the more refined woman decided this night...she would rather stay home and continue work on her latest manuscript. After all in this business, creativity and monotonous hours spent at a computer or a notebook were her bread and butter so to speak. A chalice of imported Italian Pinot Grigio was carefully held between her dainty fingers, gently rose to her subtle lips for a sip. Sweet was the wine, but not overbearing to spoil the pallet, and just enough of a bite at the end to satisfy the woman's taste. Releasing the satin drapery from her frail hand, the dhamphir moved to her study, where upon an oak-wood desk sat her laptop and a few scraps of paper pulled from a journal, scribblings here and there of her next plot, the screen hazing white within the dimness of the small room, and bookshelves wall to wall containing masterpieces of written text from nearly every inch of the globe, Shakespeare's classics, the spine tingling but intriguing works of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, and much..much more that comprised her literary collection.<br/><br/><i>Hmm...now where did I put that?</i>Setting down her wine at the desk, her hand went to the far right of a shelf as she pondered where she last left off in one of her many reading choices. Just the night before, she had completed her read-through of<i>""Shadow Over Insmouth""</i>and had begun what would be her fifth book for another night alone in her secluded cottage, a classic of Greek drama, Sophocles'<i>""Antigone,""</i>but as her fingers skimmed over the thick leather spines, aged with the passing of time from its original date of composition, she soon paused, not upon<i>""Antigone""</i>. No....this was another piece of old literature, published in 1872 and written by Sheridan Le Fanu.<i>Carmilla...</i>Rebecca recited the title to herself in silence. A great read it was, but...the subject matter was a bit of a sting for her, same could be said for the work of Bram Stoker. ""Hmph....despite only being half, I still can't help but feel a bit....offended."" She mused to herself, her hand again on the search for her preferred choice, but soon, she heard a commotion from outside. Even amidst the melody of Bach, the rancorous wail of police sirens rang clear through her living room and into the study, where upon the noise had caught Rebecca's ear and pulled her back to the window.<br/><br/>It was a most familiar of sights that welcomed her hauntingly as flashes of reds and blues skimmed across her front yard and illuminated the blackness surrounding her flower garden and her vehicle left in the driveway. There had been another attack...another reason for the woman...to worry.<i>Damn them.... Thanks to these assholes, it won't be long before they have a lynch mob coming after me.</i>But only if they discovered her half-blooded heritage. Still, with the increasing threat of vampirism lurking about Brooksfield...it would only be a matter of time before thoughts of racism and genocide set in. Giving another bothersome exhale of air, Rebecca released the curtains again. Now...where exactly did she set<i>""Antigone""</i>?"

If her vision didn't turn blurry, she would've been content looking at cells under a microscope for days, forgetting all her basic necessities in the process. Even now, she could feel her stomach rumbling and her bloodshot eyes screaming in protest, her brain begging her to rest for a bit, but Naomi persevered. How could she rest when she still hadn't found the answer to her questions? How could she rest knowing that her father's murderer was still out there, feasting on another unsuspecting human?<br/><br/>Finding the cure to vampirisim had become Naomi's obsession, only second to taking revenge on the vampire that killed her father. There was a time when she tried to run away from vampires, but now they were all she thought about. During the night, she would be out hunting for them, while during the day she would work on reversing their curse. She couldn't remember the last time she had slept.<br/><br/>When her eyes filled with moisture for the fifth time in protest, Naomi finally looked away from her microscope, closing her eyes to let them rest for a bit. She could feel herself drifting off and jerked awake immediately, glancing towards the clock on the wall. It was late. Perfect timing for hunting.<br/><br/>Shrugging off her white lab coat, she looked around the room to find her crossbow. She had turned her parents' basement into her personal lab, and being a messy worker, it looked like a whirlwind had passed through the room - papers littered everywhere, test-tubes in every nook and cranny, and the pungent smell of various chemicals hung in the air. Her mother had only come down to the basement once since Naomi had moved here and had never dared step her foot inside again.<br/><br/>Finally recovering her weapon from under a desk, Naomi made her way out of the house, careful not to make too much noise to wake her mother up. She attached her crossbow to her arm and shrugged on a loose full-sleeved jacket over herself to hide it. She knew there wouldn't be many people out at this hour, but precautions had to be taken in case she came upon a civilian. Explaining why she had a deadly weapon attached to her wrist would be quite difficult even with the town Sheriff on your side.<br/><br/>The crisp night air made her stay alert as Naomi walked down the streets of Brooksfield, wondering if she would have any encounters tonight."

For most people it was to cold to consider riding a bike, and while chilling he didn't feel all that cold. He never really did get to cold all that often as he leaned over, taking a corner his bike was at a 50 degree angle and his knee was almost scrapping the pavement as he made that wide turn. He looked down once he was out of the turn shifting down and hitting the throttle as his RPMs shot up and so did his speed, he finally looked down for a minute, 205 it read as he up shifted as the sound of that bike echoed through the mountains gaining speed and he looked down 218 this time as he smiled. He loved that new power commander he got, as he was a quick streak of tail lights to any by standers. He had to move over into the oncoming lane and lean hard for the next turn slowing down a bit to make it before sown shifting and hitting the throttle as he came out of it.<br/><br/>He loved these late night rides, the windy roads of the mountains always giving him a rush as he loved the wind blowing through his hair. He smiled passing houses and as soon he was in the town as he sped through the streets, though he started to slow down before leaning hard into a turn looking over he flew past Naomi's house as even at those speeds he spotted her as he brought and arm down waving before hitting the break and turning down in a corner as blue and red lights drove past the street up a head. He slowed down now as he turned down and road through the town before pulling up on the side walk in front of the grocery store window as he stopped his bike and flipped his kick stand down looking at the windows. He raised his visor and got off his bike before pulling his helmet off and setting it on the seat. He rested his hand on the hilt of his silver sword on his belt walking in through a window.<br/><br/>He looked as the body was being rolled out before spotting Ford and Hunt talking and he walked up to the pair. ""You haven't keeled over yet old man?"" he said to ford joking with him as he normally did. He joined the two looking around ""The nights already starting off exciting I see...I just left Weston's farm, two of them were sneaking about but attacked as soon as I approached. They seemed new, and not from here considering they thought just cause I'm human I would make a nice me"""

Her eyes were growing heavy by the minute, and she was finding it quite difficult to even focus on her reading, rather choosing now to shut the book gently and set it aside on her coffee table. ""I'll continue it tomorrow..."" She mused sleepily as midnight's fatigue now set upon her. With such eyes burdened by the encroaching hour of sleep, she looked to the grandfather clock of her living room. 2:36 it said, 2:36 AM. ""My....how late it is."" For as much as Rebecca stayed awake all through the dark and lonely hours of this cold, dreary night, she would've assumed she was already a full-blooded vampire. ""I should be getting to bed soon...perhaps I'll go into town tomorrow for a spot of breakfast and a nice cup of coffee."" Gradually standing to her feet from the comfy and inviting sofa, the woman slowly ambled her way to her bedroom.<br/><br/>Already her hands were to the buttons of her white blouse, fingering them and unfastening the buttons from their holds, letting the silky smooth fabric slip from her arms and carelessly onto her bedroom floor, along with her black pencil skirt she shirked from her beautifully curved legs, same for her sheer pantyhose she gradually slipped off before she was just left in her underwear, later donning her night attire, a burgundy red silk negligee with thin, loose spaghetti straps haphazardly slipping about her slender shoulders as she peeled back the covers of her bed and slipped underneath the layers of cotton and wool, already her body tingling pleasantly at the warmth of her much awaited bed. A mix of a sigh and a yawn permeated her lips yet again, showing her satisfaction at this comfort with her head nestled into her pillow and her eyes gently closing....but tonight....was not the peaceful night she would assume of it. For suddenly-<br/><br/>*CRASH!!!!*<br/><br/>She darted upwards immediately with a deep gasp of fright at the abrupt and startling noise, her hand violently clasping over her rapidly undulating heart in her chest.<i>W-what was that?</i>It sounded as if the commotion had come from her living room. Trembling, practically shivering with absolute dread, she wondered if it were the window, the large bay window in her living room. Something must've been thrown through it, a rock maybe or...someone's broken into her home... A harsh gulp of air inwards to her quivering lungs, the woman rose hesitantly from her bed, pulling open the drawer on her nightstand and grabbing the small 9mm pistol she kept there...for reasons such as this. Her hands fumbled a bit as she tried to regain composure over them, loading in a full magazine to the gun and pulling back the slide, already following procedures that were taught during the Concealed Handgun Class she had taken earlier in the year. With no one else to come to her aid here....why couldn't Rebecca just protect herself.<i>M-maybe I...I won't have to shoot anyone.</i>Her mind raced as she held the pistol within her shaking fingers, having to grasp it tight against her perspiring palms.<i>Maybe...they've already gone away....I'll just have to file a home invasion...and a theft.</i>She hoped to God above...if God even still loved a damned soul such as she...that whoever was in her house...they were long gone with whatever they came to pillage from her humble abode...<br/><br/>Quietly as the timid mouse she was in this most harrowing of situations, she crept down the hallway, the Glock in her clutches pointed straight ahead of her as she rounded the corner and tiptoed into the living room. ""H-hello?"" She whispered. Rasp was her voice as her whole body trembled, nerves frazzled with such ill dread racking them ever so. ""I...I-I have a gun...so...you best leave now before I..."" And how weak her threats were to her unknown assailants. She was even unable to deliver them with a thick voice of authority, but...she was a civilian in distress, she was no cop. Apprehensive of her surroundings, her eyes scanned back and forth the vacant living room. Everything seemed fine...at first... For as she skimmed over to the window, her assumptions were dead right. ""Oh...oh my God...."" The bay window was shattered, completely in shards upon the hardwood floor below, nothing left but the round, elliptical frame that once housed the ornately frosted glass. Terror, absolute horror jolted through her spine and all through her nerve endings. Hastily she glanced straight to the floor, at least in search of what destroyed her living room window, but there was nothing...no rocks...no other objects resting amongst the shimmering crystals of broken glass. Now she was certain with fear someone has broken into her home, and....she didn't have the strength in her to confront them.<br/><br/>Setting down her gun, she instantly crossed the living room to the end table next to her couch, quickly snatching up her cellphone with her fingers to those three numbered buttons. ""Hello, I need the police. I...I've had a break in. Can you...can you please send someone quickly. I...I think they're still...here....."""

Every Protector was a part of the police department here, only because their group worked as much. They didn't go off on their own killing, and hunting. They all had shifts, but of course if there were some accident they were put on the clock... And as for their duties, Ben made it very clear that vampires were to have a chance whether to give in, or die. He heard the loud roar of a motorcycle engine, knowing exactly who that was... And it was confirmed when he saw Jase Dean walk up to Jason and him. He gave a small laugh at his comment on his old age. Both Jason and Jase were like sons to him. When their parents died it was hard for him. They were both great friends, but sadly, the cost of being a protector was very high... Ben took them and taught them the last of the things they needed to know. ""I'm still kicking... although its ten hours past my bedtime and they haven't given me my prune juice yet."" Ben said sarcastically, giving a smile. As he talked about his encounter at the field he nodded. ""No animals harmed at the farm?""<br/><br/>Jason was lured away by a deputy near a police car. He walked over. ""What's up?"" Jason asked, putting his hands in his pockets. ""We got a call just now. Something broke in to a woman's house... From what she's said something broke in making a loud noise, but cannot see the perpetrator..."" Jason nodded. ""Probably an unpleasant visitor..."" Jason said. ""Whats the address?"" The man gave it, and he walked back to Ben and Jase. ""We got a break in. The woman can't see the intruder... And before you go, remember you're off the clock. I'll go check it out."" He said with a smile. ""I'll see you guys later."" Jason said, walking back to the police car. ""I'm on my way, you can tell her that..."" He said, feeling the silver tomahawk in his jacket. Jason felt a little nervous, he never actually went alone for a vampire related case before. He usually had Jase or Ben or Naomi with him. As he made his way to the house he checked his pockets for the flares, his weapon, and a wooden stake just in case. When he made it to the house he saw the whole front of the house gone. Jason gave a small whistle. ""wow..."" He said quietly, stepping through the large hole. He saw a woman cowering in fear near a table. Jason put a finger up to his lips, and revealed a badge to show that he was here to help."

I already called it in from the radio in my bike."" He wasn't going to really mention what he was doing there that late, or why he had his bike parked so far away so he wouldn't hear him starting it up, such details weren't required. As he looked around he walked up to the vampire's blood on the floor and ran his finger through the blood and sniffed it, That scent of coagulated blood filled his nose as he cringed some ""This a new one as well? Man those forest boys been busy it seems."" standing up he wiped the blood off with a rag he kept in his back pocket. Some how he already knew the answer to that question. His instincts were always good. He would probably make a good detective in the city if he had the desire for such things. As it stands though the only reason he is on the police force is because he's a protector.<br/><br/>As he was there he over heard Jason talking to the officer, just able to make out what they are saying as his friend soon showed up, telling them about the break in. He smiled and looked over to Ben as Jason drove off ""I'll give him some back up"" he stated turning and walking back towards his bike before turning and walking backwards ""and before you say anything, When have you ever known me to do as I'm told? Hmm"" He smiled lifting up his hand in a wave ""later old man, try not to break a hip getting in your car"" he said pulling his helmet over his head and turning his bike back on. Soon pulling up to the curb and dropping back down into the street and racing off through the streets.<br/><br/>He slowed his bike down before he even got to the house, killing the engine as he used his momentum to carry him the rest of the way, that bike silently rolling along before it came to a stop near by Jasons squad car. He got off his bike, put his helmet down and put his keys in his pocket as unzipped his coat and pulled out one of his M1911s from his shoulder harness and kept low, seeing Jason walking in he moved forward as well, though staying a bit back as he moved around the back of the house to approach from the opposite side. He looked in through the window, seeing Jason he pulled up his hand and signaled that he was going to go around and meet with him. Soon he was at the other side of the house, slowly he opened the door checking inside the dimly lit room as his eyes sight started to adjust to the dark."

It seemed almost hours as she patiently yet fearfully awaited them standing beside the living room coffee table and eyeing still with such apprehensive glances the pile of glass upon the floor and the gaping hole that was once her bay window. What still bewildered Rebecca most was how the window was shattered, and yet....nothing could be found that would or did shatter it. Try as she may searching again, she still couldn't come up with anything, no stone, no brick, nothing. Of course that only meant the worst to the half-vampire. That meant someone had bashed it open. What other easier way was there to break into the woman's home, other than kick the front door off its hinges, and highly the red haired woman doubted anyone could accomplish such a feat as that, especially in one fell swoop. No, it would've taken maybe two or three good thwacks of the foot against the hardwood and the steel deadbolt before it gave, opening all access to Rebecca's home, her belongings, and more terribly....herself.....she feared greatly the day an unruly mob or even just one lowly vampire killer...came for her life.....just for being one of them, even if she was only half-blood.<br/><br/>Finally, a sigh of relief she gave once she witnessed through the wide chasm in her living room wall a police cruiser pull into her driveway, along with a motorcycle. How nice of them to send two officers rather than one. While one drew his gun and moved around to Rebecca's backyard for further surveillance, the other cautiously approached her, showing his badge of affiliation with the local law enforcement. Even in the dim light of her home, Rebecca could sort of make out the man's features, and needless to say, he was kind of...charming, even if she was more drawn to women, she still could tell when a man was indeed attractive. And at least seeing that charming face calmed the flustered woman down a little bit....that is until she noticed sort of a small gleam of light from his jacket.<i>Silver? Oh God...he's one of them.</i>Pray to God above he didn't notice any peculiarities of her, not that she had any too apparent. Maybe her teeth were a little pointier than the average human, maybe her skin was just a tad bit more pale than usual, but she could denote that to being a home-body and not getting much sun- wait...no....that would only make it worse sense her kind supposedly treated the sun as poison to them. A gulp inward, she carefully approached the officer, her hands clasped hesitantly against her chest. ""T-thank you for coming on such short notice. I..I don't know what's happened exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was a break in. I haven't been able to check if anything's been stolen yet, and well....I just have this feeling someone's still in the house, but I'm too scared to see for myself. Please be careful."""

He gave a nod to him as he read his signals, then turned to see the woman, clearly frightened at what just occurred, but Jason couldn't help but see that she was rather attractive. As she spoke she trembled, he couldn't blame her, but after doing this for so long, and living at a bar where a ton of scary things happened, he seemed to be calmer than he should. He gently put a hand on her shoulder for reassurance. ""Everything will be alright, Miss."" Jason said very quietly. ""A mountain lion came in earlier tonight and raided the grocery store, he might have had a friend... Just stay as quiet as you can, and slip out and wait outside near my car while my friend and i check this place out..."" Jason said in the same quiet tone, but tried his best to sound calm, and assuring.<br/><br/>He pulled out his tomahawk, and in the other hand held a flare just in case. He quietly made it in to the room that Jase was in, giving him a nod in the direction of the door on the other side of the room. It was nerve raking, being completely quiet, not knowing who or what is is waiting for you. Jason walked through the doorway, but it was too late. In a flash of an eye Jason was thrown in to a wall, hitting his head, and losing the flare on the ground. Surprisingly he still had his weapon. In the hall was the body of a teenager in a black hoodie, jeans, and converse. His eyes were black, his nails and teeth long, he looked shaken up... as if he couldn't help but do this. Jason read that when their crave of blood was so strong, even the most tame break. ""Jase!"" Jason called out, quickly getting up in to the stance Ben and his father taught him years ago. He needed to get to that flare, close quarter combat with a vampire usually meant death for the protector."

Moved quietly opening the door slowly peering in to make sure it was all clear. Softly he stepped into the house as he looked around. He knew there was vampire here, it was like he could smell it, like the place reeked of it. Walking in a bit further the door across from him opened as he didn't raise his gun, he knew it was Jason as he returned the nod and turned towards the door raising his gun and pointing it at it. Covering his friend as he got he kept his gun raised as before he got to the door He knew who ever invaded was on the other side of that door ""Jason watch out"" though in the middle of his shout Jason was suddenly thrown back across the room as J.D. kept his gun trained on the teenager. Looking at him he got the feeling that it really was just a teenager, not just a very old vampire who looked like one. ""Give your self up, and we won't harm you. You have my word"" he said as he looked over to him.<br/><br/>J.D. knew he was about to attack before he did, he pulled the trigger right as he started charge, getting off two rounds before, his fast reflexes let him just narrowly avoid his attack as he moved to the fight, grabbing his left arm he pulled it around his back as his own left arm came up and he shoved the kids head against the table. Black blood dripped down his body as those silver bullets hit home, on in his right shoulder and another in gut. It would of been fatal for a normal person, but not for the vampire. ""Calm down, your under arrest if you resist further we will kill you."" he said as he held him pinned, though you could see him straining, it was taking all of his strength to hold him, and only because he had leverage was he able too. Though soon the vampire was overpowering him, slowly his arm pulled back down as J.D. fought to keep it in place, he growled before kicking the kids legs out and tossing him to the left as he hit the cupboards before falling to the ground. J.D. Put his left hand on his swords sheath, his right on the handle of that silver blade as he started stepping to the left a bit, hopefully so the vampire would turn to face him and put his back to his partner, as well as give him a bit more room to maneuver, well as much room as one could get."

To be fair, this was the least amount of damage. He heard J.D. try to talk to it. It gave him a sad look, as if it didn't want to do this... Then his rage kicked in again, giving a scream he started for J.D. Jason dove for the flare on the ground. It was a special flare that the protectors made many generations ago, all it had to do was be struck against any dry surface, and it would literally be brighter than the sun for a few seconds, destroying the vampires eye sight. Jason grabbed the flare, and ran it across the floor.<br/><br/>""J.D.! close your eyes!"" Jason yelled before he rolled it in between him and the vampire. The whole house illuminated, and a huge scream came from the beast, falling to the ground in pain, trying to get away from them. Jason jumped on top of him, struggling to keep him down. ""He's just hungry..."" Jason said to J.D. ""I know Ben will want to give this guy some sort of second chance... A lot of property damage, a scared shitless civilian... We'll take him down to the station, and leave him for the Boss to talk to."" He gave one last surge of energy, but Jason took out his tomahawk, putting it to his neck.

Jason panted, getting up with the help with J.D. watched the vampire.<br/><br/>As they both walked the teenager out, Jason saw the woman standing near her house.

I didn't mean to... I was just so hungry.... I didn't mean to..."" The teenager said with sincerity... Although Jason wasn't a fan of vampires, he didn't want to kill every single one of them... some of his regulars at the bars are vampires, although they can't really get intoxicated, they like to talk, and to help the town out by spending. He gave a nod. ""We're going to have to put you in a holding cell for a while... Until the Sheriff comes in for his shift tomorrow morning... then he'll discuss the penalties. Got it?"" Jason asked him quietly as they stepped out of the house, towards the woman.<br/><br/>""We found the culprit... He is all sorts of drunk and high... and felt like he could do a little house looting."" Jason said to her, holding the teenager, giving a look at Jase, then back at the woman. ""Sheriff Ford is unavailable right now, but He'll be over first thing in the morn--"" Jason was cut off by the sight of Benjamin Ford in his signature hat walking over to them. ""Evening, Sheriff! I thought you were in bed?"" Jason called out to him, giving him a look.<br/><br/>Ben shrugged. ""Its been a long night, there was a loud noise, and my shopping channel is jewelry hour..."" Ben said, always finding a way to make a joke. He looked at the house, then at the four of them. ""This teenager burst through her house, drunk, high, and was looking for some... valuables..."" Jason said to him. Ben nodded. ""I'm so sorry, Miss Valentine..."" Ben said. He knew everyone int he small town, he made sure that people felt comfortable going to him for help, and as a friendly face. ""Is there a place you can stay for the night until we can fix up your window?"" He asked her.<br/><br/>""The bar has some open rooms for travelers...

Blood sucking monsters who die in the sun, are allergic to garlic, and burn at the sight of holy water... Everyone passes these stories as just that. Stories. But there are a few that know these nightmares are very, very real. Vampires look just like everyone else, except when angered, or in the scent of blood, or are overcome with hunger, they transform into their true forms.<br/><br/>Their skin so white its transparent, seeing every black vein in their body. Their mouths long and full of razor sharp teeth, their eyes as black as the coldest and darkest depths. They are as strong as 10 men, faster than a blink of an eye, and have excellent sight and smell. When someone is first transformed in to a vampire, sunlight will instantly kill them, they can't control their crave for blood, and they usually have fun terrorizing people with their new immortality... but with age, their skin gets used to the sun, but their eyes never do. They will start to feed on only animals, the elderly, or the sick when they cannot control their hunger any more. They stick to themselves, for they cannot kill other vampires. Most of them kill themselves when they can't stand being immortal anymore.<br/><br/>These beings have infected the world, and most live quietly... but one town in the dense forest of Colorado is notorious for the ongoing struggle with Vampires and humans. Brooksfield, Colorado has been fighting against these creatures since the town was founded in the 1800's. The people who fight them have mastered the ways of vampire hunting. Holy Water and garlic doesn't kill them. sunlight is not a problem to them especially in the dense forest shade. Silver, wooden stakes, and flares were their only weapons. They are called Protectors. They have fought for over a century, and today, the Protectors and Vampires have come to an agreement: The vampires can have the forests, the humans will have the town and roads, and if any cross with no reason, they will be executed.<br/><br/>Brooksfield is a small town with friendly people who don't know about the vampires for their safety, but are kept safe from them every day and night by the few who do. Most of the Protectors have a 6th sense. They can tell who is and isn't a vampire due to their family heritage in the town, or luck. There are some vampires who have gotten authorization to try and live a normal life in the town, being friendly and cooperative to them as much as possible... and as for the Protectors, there is a silent war there as well. The old ways lead by the current Sheriff are to kill only as a last option, and let the vampires be. The younger, newer ones think that they are too dangerous, and should start to kill them all off, but cannot do anything.<br/><br/>The town of Brooksfield is a quiet town, but filled with mystery and danger.... how will you spend your stay?<br/><br/><br/>RULES:<br/>1) You can be a Protector (Vampire hunter), civilian (store owner, state cop, mayor, etc), Vampire, or ID'd vampire (Friendly who lives in the town) if you have a question on what you want to be, and how you want to play, please send me a PM and i'll be more than happy to help out!<br/>2) Don't always start chaos and action! This will be a RP full of romance, drama, action, adventure, and other stuff as well!<br/>3) Keep it to one CS for now<br/>4) Don't be OP, and NO ONE SENTENCED POSTS! i understand writers block, and i prefer quality over quantity, but saying ""he entered the room"" just adds clutter, and doesn't help the story what so ever.<br/>5) be creative! i love seeing how you guys make characters and how you make them unique!<br/><br/><br/>FORM:<br/><br/>Name:<br/>Age:<br/>Appearance:<br/>Faction: Protector, Civilian, Vampire, ID'd Vampire<br/>Job:<br/>Bio: Doesn't have to be super long<br/>Personality:<br/>Family/Relationships?:<br/>Weapon(s) : optional for civilians and vampires, required for Protectors<br/>Other:<br/><br/><br/>-------------------------------------<br/><br/>Name: Benjamin Ford<br/><br/>Age: 49<br/><br/>Appearance: Very tall, muscular, with slight wrinkles around his face, but still very attractive for a man his age. Has a square jaw, Black hair that has a touch of gray at parts, and steel gray eyes. Has a scar running across his cheek. Usually wears a trench coat with his sheriff badge on with with a flannel, jeans, and boots, as well as a very old<br/>cowboy hat passed on in his family.<br/><br/>Faction: Protectors<br/><br/>Job: County Sheriff, and leader of the Protectors<br/><br/>Bio: The Ford family is extremely notorious in this town. Ever since the very first Protectors, my family ran the league of Vampire Hunters. And generations passed. I lived with my father. He never told me what happened to my mother, but i didn't mind. Growing up i learned the honest work the do out here in the middle of nowhere. I helped my dad at the sheriff's office, helped him with chores, and he made me help the other people in the town with their's. I always knew my father was keeping something from me though. And as a young teenager i would follow him around, or try to stop crimes in the town. And every time i would get yelled at, and be told many times that no matter what i do, never ever go in to the forest... I learned about the life of the Protectors when i heard crying late one night when i was 17. It was a young woman, racing through the streets, yelling at someone to leave them alone, that she wasn't one of them... my curiosity and my hunger for justice got the best of me.<br/><br/>I followed her, trying to help her, she told me to stay away, or I'll be hurt. Not thinking, i rushed after her in the forest... where i was immediately welcomed with laughter, demonic hissing, and being thrown in to a tree before i even knew it. I came to to see the most evil thing i have ever seen in my life. Now i know its a vampire, but back then, i thought i was staring at death itself. Before i met my death, or worse, my father and a few other deputies came rushing in... I got out alive, but with a few scars, and a big one across my cheek. My father had no choice but to tell me. I eagerly joined when he asked me. I fought alongside my father for a few years, helping him with shifts, learning how to fight with my own weapon of choice. I chose a wood axe laced with a hard silver coating, and i became an expert. I learned the techniques of what to look for, how to fight those creatures, and that some of the closest friends of our family were vampires who swore peace with the town long long ago...<br/><br/>One night though, there was a riot with the vampires. A group of young, rebellious ones attacked the town... it was terrible, with casualties from both sides... one being my father. After my father passed, the Protectors didn't even have to ask, or have a discussion. I was his successor. Dawning his hat, and badge, i kept the town from danger. And for decades i have been doing just that, losing some close friends, and fellow Protectors from deaths, or from them moving away. I married (IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE MY SON/DAUGHTER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!), but she left me when she found out about the secret of this place... Most people think I'm too old for this job now... and they are usually knocked on their asses before they can finish the sentence. I have spent most of my life keeping this town safe, and i will do that to my dying breath.<br/>Personality: Has a very big sense of confidence, authority, and pride that surrounds me. I never rush in to an action. Extremely loyal to the people who showed me kindness, very humble and friendly, and nice to the citizens and fellow Protectors. Kinda like the father figure for the younger people. Very courageous, smart, and has a dark sense of humor. Will do anything to keep anyone in the town safe.<br/><br/>Family/Relationships: Anyone interested in being a love interest, or family member send me a PM!<br/><br/>Weapons: A old, silver axe, an old revolver with silver bullets, and some mini flares to blind the vampires just in case.<br/><br/>Other: there is said to be a Ford family curse... every one of my grandfathers have died from fighting off vampires before they reached the age of 50."

Hope it's ok if I join in.<br/><br/>Name: Julian Perry<br/>Age: 567<br/>Appearance: These days he's of average height (which, back in his day would have made him rather tall) with slightly curly brown hair framing an angular face with brown eyes and a rather long, aquiline nose. He wears glasses (but only as a vain affectation since his eyesight is better than 20/20) and he normally dresses conservatively in clothes that are so outdated they're on the verge of coming back in style.<br/>Faction: ID'd Vampire<br/>Job: Owns the local used bookstore/coffee shop<br/><br/>Bio: While he was alive Julian went by a different name and made a relatively modest living as a poet and playwright in Elizabethan England. His works have long been forgotten, but at the time he enjoyed a brief period of popularity before he was turned by a lover. Devastatingly, Julian found his transformation into a vampire had affected more than his appetites and his skin tone: he suffered from a writer's block that stretched across centuries without relief. Since then, Julian has traveled the world and done a great many things, but he's always returned to his first love: the written word. He's worked as a literature professor many times over, and has held a wide variety of publishing jobs, but has always remained frustrated with his inability to regain the spark that once fueled his own creativity. He moved to Brooksfield about a year ago after his lack of aging put an end to his tenured professorship at a rather prestigious university. He purchased the local used bookstore six months ago after its owner chose to retire. He has made his peace with the local Protectors and is happy to live and let live.<br/><br/>Personality: He's very smart and gets irritated when others can't keep up with him, or when they use too much slang, or if they have poor grammar. He can be brusque, condescending, and somewhat of a snob, but it's very rare for him to be intentionally cruel or impolite. Otherwise he's pretty much an introvert, more interested in his books and the occasional deep conversation than making friends and influencing people.<br/><br/>Family/Relationships?: They're mostly dead, although he keeps up regular written correspondences with several scholars around the world who he considers friends, and he's developed a fondness for some of his regular customers, especially the ones interested in lengthy discussions on Renaissance poetry. (open to anyone who wants to play a regular customer or one of Julian's employees in game)<br/><br/>Weapon(s) : He owns an Italian-made 17th century rapier and matching dagger, as well a revolver from the late 18th century, but they've been exclusively for display for well over a century.<br/>Other:"

His body is riddled with scars and bullets wounds, thanks to years of relentless tortures courtesy of the Soviet Union. As such, he keeps his body covered, choosing not to show his scars. He does care for how he looks, sort of, he's not a bum, and such he doesn't want to look like one. Usually wearing something dark, expensive and flexible. And pretty much always a suit.<br/>Faction: Vampire.<br/>Job: A drifter of sorts.<br/>Bio: Nikolas is rather young by the standards of being a Vampire, since he's only been one for less than a century, ninety-seven years to be exact. But before that, he was a man nearing his peak, in a country that knew naught but war. Imperial Russia. Born to a Russia mother, and a father of British decent, he never really saw much of either them considering he was more or less abandoned upon birth. That is, if you consider putting your child in a bordering school at the brisk young age of four, if not, then they were parents of the century.<br/><br/>And such, Nicholas spent much of his junior years with people he actually liked, because there wasn't exactly much to do in a boarding school for twelve years. He left school with a sizeable trust fund of sorts, the perks of having millionaires for parents. But instead of becoming one with the aristocracy, he instead choose to take a job as a chef ... for some reason. If Nicholas was one thing, it wasn't a chef, and such that little endeavour didn't last long. Eventually he found himself in a book store in Saint Petersburg, which quickly cultivated in getting a job there.<br/><br/>He had liked reading since he was able, there was no Internet or television back then, so that made sense. However, he hadn't know he liked it enough to make it a living until that very day. He worked at the store for quite some time, along with it's owner, Nikolai. Alas, things took a turn for the worse during the Communist revolution of Russia during 1917, he found the store he cared for so dearly burnt to the ground, and nothing left to live for. And so, on that night he decided to kill himself. But first, he had to indulge in one last luxury, getting drunk beyond recognition.<br/><br/>He wasn't sure if the man who visited him that night was an angel, or the devil himself, but what he did changed his life forever. He was bitten and turned into a creature of the night, oh and became slightly immortal. Which was most counter productive to his plans of ending his life.<br/><br/>He spent a few sleepless nights debating his new found gift, or curse he not knew what it was. Until he decided that the man who gave him this needed to die, preferably a horrible and painful death. He found him the next night and charged him with a dagger, and yet when he thrust his dagger, it did nothing. The blade was held just short of a inch from his eye, and yet something held the blade from ending the bastards life.<br/><br/>All that met Nicholas was laughter from the man-thing, and in an instant he was gone. Unsure of what to do, and with nothing left for him in Petrograd, he decided that due to the whole 'immortal' thing, he would take up arms and fight. One of the first things he noticed was that getting shot in the face tended to hurt by a considerable margin, just because nothing normal could now kill didn't mean he should needlessly endure pain. Which made sense, since sadism wasn't exactly his thing.<br/><br/>The war soon enough drew to an end, and the fact that he hasn't fought on the winning side meant he was soon enough put in front of a wall, and nine guns were aimed at his head. The results were as expected, the bullets impacted into his body, and it bloody well hurt, the only what happened next, was not intended. He had sustained so much damage from the execution that he transformed into a feral beast, which then proceeded to utterly destroy the Red soldiers in a matter of seconds.<br/><br/>At some point he blanked out from his rampage and woke up days later in a dark and damp cell in the middle of Siberia. This is where Nikolas' story gets a little boring, he was now a guest of the Soviet Union in one of their ever so famous Gulags. He wouldn't see daylight for at least five or six more decades, where in the eighties during the height of the Cold War, the Soviets realised how much of a weapon that Nikolas could be.<br/><br/>This ended as well of expected, Nikolas with almost superhuman strength, speed and endurance, and the Soviets with zero to no experience with handling Vampires, escaped from his captors once they had moved him into East Germany. He however made the point to drain the blood from his captors, because being nice is overrated.<br/><br/>He smuggled himself into central america, and from there into America proper. He then tried to recontrust his life to the best of his ability, considering all the human interaction he had for the past decades was a Russian mobster, his tactics were ever so less than civil. He would immedaily use force when he didn't get his own way, and was far from compromise. That, and the fact he was a Vampire meant he was also a serial killer, so there was that.<br/><br/>He never really knew what 'home' was, and in an effort to find it, he found many a mate to try and form a family, and at least have a legacy. But he could never bring himself to be truthful to them about who he was, and how can you raise a family with out mentioning the tiny fact that you're a Vampire who gets off on sucking blood? See, not an easy premise at all.<br/><br/>That was until he heard about the town of Brookfield, and something in his head just clicked, he had a sudden want to go here, and find out what it was, and then .... ? Well, that remains to be told.<br/><br/>Personality: Quick, brash and not very resourceful, Nicholas outright prefers to simply punch his ways to solving a problem, rather than go about it like a normal person would. Coupled with a distinct lack of social skills, it's pretty easy to say he's not a nice guy. But for the most part, he's just a angry man, with no way of venting.<br/><br/>Family/Relationships: His parents are long dead, both killed in Russia many a decade ago, but from the amazing little thing called the Internet, he found that the Crawford family name continues to live on in Britain, albeit a rather weak legacy. He hopes to rectify that problem, one way or another.<br/><br/>Weapon(s) : Nicholas is not one for weapons, if he wants to kill a man, then he'll use his bare hands. There is no greater satisfaction than knowing you used no tool, but you, to finished your prey. He does know how to a use a sword, or at least he thinks he does. He learned how to fence back in School and that was quite some time ago, decades of isolation and the fact he hasn't picked up a sword since, means his skills likely aren't up to scratch.<br/>Other:"

A fresh pale face. Dark blue eyes with normally large pupils , fair hair. thin legs that seem longer then they really are. a small scar on his fore-head<span class=""bb-strike""> That has the shape of a lighting bolt </span>that is above his left eye. his nose is normal sized and is rather good for a nose, but seems to be lost to the abyss by his other features. most of his clothes seem to be one size too big.<br/><br/>Faction: Vampire,<br/>Job: ""ummmmmmmm""<br/>Bio: A long time ago, which valis can't bother to remember exactly when it happened. Seeing as he was done being in the same house as his annoying? (Or at least that what Valis thinks, though he does admit it could be many things, again...he really couldn't care) decided to have a party just for himself, and by that he meant destorying his liver. (or he was just pretending to do that, once again, Valis can't seem to remember) After that it gets a little fuzzy, basically: Something about a fight, a fish, a giant stool, a fire, a supicious women that Valis followed only because she had- well...you know. A mansion, a really fluffy pillow. a knife, then blood. then a bloody knife, and then something about a brick.<br/><br/>The next day Valis woke up, everything was rather different, one, his clothes were rather torn, he was in a rather shady alleyway, and as he would find out in the next few days, a vampire. His life was different, with is pretty obivious. But Valis became a bit different. He tried- well...casually lived. He did evenutally started to get hunted, which he guess was only right since he was killing people, and not really even trying to be in the shadows. It was easy, he learned that he was rath- no...much faster and stronger then lots of them. But the knocks on the door came, he escaped. But he knew now that he would have to stay isolated.<br/><br/>Blah Blah Blah, it is the present, and Vasil stays in the forest, because apparently the ""protectors"" and other vampires think it's a good idea, but Vasil lurks in the shadows (He likes to think that he does that a lot) He is one of the most infamous ones, and probably one of the oldest. Yet somehow not, seeing as many don't know what he looks like, or if he's real. most think he's a myth! Because ""people are stupid, am I right?""<br/><br/>Personality: Tends to have mood-swings. Most people in his mind are either 'Food, Annoying, Less annoying' Though he tends not to like company at all, sometimes he'll randomly appear in peoples houses, just to hang about. (If not to steal their clothes) He tends to humor himself, and will randomly go into fits of laughter. While most vampires get ""wiser and mature"" Valis says live young forever, and he does what he wants. He thinks that if he is going to die then good, because he be dead and that be it. but until then, it's a big party!<br/><br/>Family/Relationships?: His family is long dead, which he tends to forget about, then realise, just to say ""Oh wait, I don't care""<br/><br/>Weapon(s) : He does have a sword he stole from another vampire, he just has that for the one sentence of ""I have a sword bitch!""<br/>Other:"

Pale skin caused by constant living in darkness. Young. Early twenties in appearance. Straight black hair that falls across his green eyes. He tends to wear darker colors, his favourite being dark blues and purples, so black pants with a purple silk shirt would be common. He has several tattoos across his forearms, all in Japanese. When asked about them, his expression will always become sorrowful and he will walk away in silence. Tall with a muscular build that only comes from intense motivation and dedication. A large scar stretches across his stomach.<br/><br/>Faction: Vampire<br/><br/>Job: Scout/Hunter<br/><br/>Bio: Born to a dirt poor Japanese family, Yuu is no stranger to hardship. He grew up with garbage and filth and death in the heart of Tokyo. His only goal in life was to care for his younger brother, Takashi. Times were tough and this wasn’t always possible. Their father was a coward and could not be relied upon for protection against the local thugs, so it was up to Yuu to become hardened and ruthless in combat. It wasn’t long after Takashi was born that their mother died. Her death resulted in the breakdown of their father, leaving them totally alone in a harsh world. Somehow, they continued to survive, scrounging for food and beating the guts out of anyone who tried to stop them.<br/><br/>Yuu’s reputation of being one of the fiercest fighters in Tokyo did not go unnoticed however. One day, shortly after his twenty-third birthday, the local Yakuza came down on them…hard. Yuu came to the burnt out old shack that they called a home one night, after he had come back from a burglary of the nearby meat market. Right away he knew something was wrong. The door was open. Takashi would never do that. He walked in with his knife drawn. A wicked, twelve inch fighting knife with a Tanto point, perfect for stabbing between the ribs. He soon realized it was useless when he saw his brother with a katana to his neck. The man who was wielding it was hidden in the shadows behind him. They wanted Yuu to join them as an enforcer in exchange for his brother’s life. Yuu had no choice but to accept. However, as soon as he stepped toward the man, the katana flashed and Yuu could feel warm liquid running down his face. All he could see was his brother’s terrified eyes as the life drained from them. Then a figure, unnaturally fast, grabbed him from behind and Yuu’s life became pure pain.<br/><br/>After an eternity, he awoke in a dark room, head pounding, skin burning, lungs aching. Something was wrong, he could feel it. A dark presence in his mind, consuming him, taking his body. The man who killed his brother walked in, even in total darkness, Yuu could identify him. The man handed him an old katana, his knife, and a semi-automatic handgun (or revolver, I’m not sure what time period this is supposed to be). Yuu had no reason to obey the man. In fact, his entire soul wanted to rip his heart from his chest, but he couldn’t and Yuu did not know why. The man sent him to America, where he would work with another group of people like him. Years passed since then, but Yuu never felt any older, nor did he look it. He just…survived. Instilled with an intense fear of the sun, he would only move in the dead of night, stalking his enemies from the shadows. By this time, Yuu knew what he had become and learned to embrace it with the goal of revenge in mind. He was no longer under the suppressing power of that man, but he had nowhere else to go, so he has been working and waiting and moving up the ranks, hoping that one day he would find a way to kill the man and avenge his fallen brother.<br/>Personality: Quiet. Unfriendly. When he does talk it is always short and to the point. His entire being is made of revenge and rage, leaving room for nothing else. No hope, no love, and absolutely no desire for that to change.<br/><br/>Family/Relationships: Described in bio<br/><br/>Weapons: Described in bio. The katana is his weapon of choice. He keeps it maintained in perfect condition and treats it with more care than the people around him. He wants the weapon the man gave him to be used in his own downfall.<br/><br/>Sorry for the super long bio, I got a little inspired!"

        Name: Constance Ford<br/><br/>Age: 25<br/><br/>Appearance: A heart shaped face is framed by volumes of straight raven tresses, which fall past her elbows. Fringe cut bangs hang above almond formed smoldering silvery hues, the exact color of her father’s. Full lips are tinted with signature crimson lipstick, the vibrant shade like blood against her flawless fair skin. Constance’s 5”5’ frame is petite and adorned with baby doll dresses when at work, showing off her womanly curves. In summery one would call her intimidatingly beautiful with a smile that can illuminate a dimly lit room. She is not quite easy to approach but is still extremely well-mannered regardless. <br/><br/>Constance actually has quite a bit of “battle scars” from fighting vampires though they are easily covered by clothing. The newest one however is a bit tricky as it is on the side of her neck. Even though her long hair does cover the laceration, with the wrong movement one could easily see this.<br/><br/>Faction: Civilian/Secret Protector <br/><br/>Job: Works at a tailoring shop and is constantly on watch as an unknown protector<br/><br/>Bio: Lived a decent childhood and did not want for anything but nothing could fill that void of an absent parent. With hardly any memories of her mother who left her at a young age, the only thought that stands out among the fog is watching from a window as a woman walked away without looking back. The sky cried that day and so did Constance but that was the last time. In spite of the reason why her mother left Constance grew fascinated with vampire hunting but was refused guidance from her father because of the obvious dangers. With no choice she trained alone and took up a job as a clothing maker for a cover as her true passion lay with being a protector. Feeling guilty that she does not have a brother to be her father’s successor she feels it is her obligation to become a legendary protector when her father passes. <br/><br/>Constance became engaged to her childhood sweetheart one day in Spring at the age of 18. He dabbled in weapons design, taught Constance some combat tactics, and also made those custom silver tipped weapons for her. Known as a master of his craft he had admirers of course and was often visited by a mysterious female who seemed quite taken with him, little did they know the exact hold she was capable of. While camping in the family owned lodge near the forests the love-struck couple was visited by this same woman. Claims of drunken villagers chasing her through the forests threatening to stake her because of her race could be heard through sobs. Naiveté and anger took hold and Constance offered to talk down these rowdy men because they no doubt knew her father’s position, and against her fiancé’s will she left the two alone in the cabin. <br/><br/>When Constance returned her fiancé had been bitten and was never the same. He tried to live life to the best of his ability but became a hermit, living in darkness, and became quite aggressive. The female vampire offered to teach, and become his companion only if he left town only to be denied continuously. Finally the “curse” was too much for him and he left a goodbye note in the cabin, never to return. Constance was devastated though she held these emotions inside and went about life like nothing had happened. Her passion for hunting vampires changed after that event, understandably… <br/><br/>Personality: Strong willed, secretive, and defensive with flickers of humility. <br/><br/>Family/Relationships?: Benjamin Ford is her father<br/><br/>Weapon(s) : Silver tipped daggers, scattergun, and flairs.<br/><br/>Other:

</div><br/><br/><b>Faction:</b>Protector<br/><br/><b>Job:</b>Scientist<br/><br/><b>Bio:</b>Naomi comes from a long line of Protectors. Almost everyone in her family has been fighting against vampires since Brooksfield was founded. She was taught to fight from a young age, and had already killed her first vampire at the age of thirteen. However, Naomi was disinterested in the 'family business'. When she turned 18, she left Brooksfield and moved to the city to study genetics at a well-known college. She kept in contact with her family for a while, occasionally visiting them during the holidays, but over the years, she began to delve deeper and deeper into her research and eventually, the visits stopped.<br/><br/>It wasn't until her mother showed up on her doorstep years later that Naomi was reminded of her past once more... Her father had been killed by a vampire.<br/><br/>Naomi thus returned to Brooksfield with the intent of taking revenge on her father's murderer. With her mother already being a retired member of the Protectors, and her own combat skills not forgotten, she joined the faction quite easily to aid her in her task. Alongside fighting vampires, she is currently using her research on genetics to find a cure for vampirism.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>Naomi takes time warming up to strangers, but once she does, it's hard to stop her talking, though she will also lend an ear to anyone who needs it. She is rather scatter-brained and forgets everything even if it is important. She is energetic and rather impatient with most things, leading her to taking rash decisions. She can be very emotional, but does not like showing that side of her to anyone unless she is close to them. Though she appears tough, she is actually very caring towards others.<br/><br/><b>Family/Relationships?:</b>Naomi was an only child and all that is left of the Alrdin family are her and her mother now. She'd had a boyfriend during highschool, but lost contact with him after she left Brooksfield, and during her time in the city, she hadn't had any long-lasting relationships. Having returned to Brooksfield after nine years, she recognizes some old faces, but her relationship with them is quite aloof and her fellow Protectors are still getting to know her.<br/><br/><b>Weapon(s):</b>Naomi's weapon of choice is a mechanical crossbow that fits easily on her arm. This is loaded with darts containing liquid silver."

</div><br/><br/>Job: Novelist<br/><br/>Bio: Raised in an orphanage by nuns in New Mexico, Rebecca grew up never knowing her parents, only being told by the Sisters who presided over the orphanage that her mother and father had died in a terrible accident and a passing motorist discovered her infant body still alive. Since childhood, she believed what the nuns had told her, yet Rebecca couldn't help but think she was different from all the other children. She would grow sick to her stomach after eating anything that had garlic in it and the sight of any holy relics or religious paraphernalia gave her splitting, torturous headaches. Also....she began to develop an insatiable thirst for blood, first cutting herself with a razor and feasting on her own, then trapping wild rabbits in the playground to sustain her appetite. Some began to wonder if Rebecca was evil or if she was possessed by Satan. This soon led to the church who ran the orphanage to exile Rebecca when she was only sixteen.<br/><br/>After being removed from the orphanage, she lived on the streets for years, mostly doing odd jobs to keep herself afloat as she drifted from town to town, before finding what seemed to be a house that once belonged to her deceased parents in Brooksfield, Colorado. Walking inside, she discovered something in the fireplace...a diary, or what was left of it. All that she could piece together from a few burnt scraps of the diary was that her father was a vampire and her mother was human. Likewise, learning this revelation put her at odds with herself, wondering if she even belonged with the humans, despite sharing their blood, and wondering how the humans may react when they discover she too is a bloodsucking creature from Hell. Still, it didn't stop her from intermingling with them after she finally settled down and took her family's house as her own.<br/><br/>Since she was a teenager, writing was always a joy of hers, and through it she found a substantial career as a novelist, mostly penning Psychological Thrillers and Horror novels, but she has written a few Romances. Her bestselling book so far is<i>The Maddening of Grimlock Sanitarium</i>about a group of kids who spend the night in an abandoned mental hospital doing drugs and telling scary stories to each other, but throughout the night it seems their stories are coming to life. The magic behind it is you can't tell if what they're seeing is real or if its a hallucination. For years, Rebecca's lived in her family's small house, staving her incurable blood-lust by living off blood packets she ""purchases"" from the local hospital.<br/><br/>Personality: Charming and elegant, a very Renaissance attitude, she could charm you with just a few simple words. She cares for others and does what's necessary to help those in need, but she fears getting too close to anyone...thinking it may invoke her vampiric side and drive her into bloodlust and mayhem.<br/><br/>Family/Relationships: Both Rebecca's mother and father are deceased, having died from unknown causes. No other relatives are known to her either. She is currently single and she is bisexual, having more of a lean towards women than men.<br/><br/>Weapons: She has a collection of antique Medieval and Japanese swords, but they are only for display purposes. For whenever she has to defend herself from any attackers, she keeps a Glock 19 in the nightstand by her bed with two magazines and carries a can of mace in her purse whenever she goes out."

</div><br/><br/>Faction:Protector<br/><br/>Job: owner of the local bar<br/><br/>Bio: Like the Ford's, the Hunt family has been hunting vampires ever since the town was founded. My father, Jeremy Hunt, was Benjamin's second in command, they were very close friends and went through some tough times. I never knew my mom, although my father always told me she was an amazing woman. I spent most of my days at the bar called The Devil's Pass, sitting quietly watching cartoons on the bar television while my dad worked, and when my dad went away with Ben for ""important business"" i had to stay in my room upstairs and lock the doors for the whole night... As i grew in to a teenager I was now a part time owner of the Pass, mostly serving the drinks, and beating the shit out of drunks who were messing with others just enjoying themselves...<br/><br/>When i turned 20, My father told me about the vampires, and protectors, and as if i didn't already respect Benjamin Ford enough, i was struck with awe at him now. And before i knew it i went in to training as an apprentice under my dad. He taught me everything i needed to know, like how ti fight one, how ti kill one, how to spot one, you name it.<br/><br/>It was only a few months ago that a vampire outbreak happened. A little girl ran in to the forest and didn't return. My father and Ben went out to find them, leaving me at the bar. Eager to help, i ran after them... I hid and watched as Ben flew in to a tree with the girl in his arms, and my father was on the ground, with a vampire sinking his fangs in to his neck. I rushed out, screaming in rage.<br/><br/>I took Ben's axe, and sliced off the head of the vampire. That's when i had to shoot my dad. ""You have to do it, Jay.... You're next in the Hunt line.... I'm so proud of the man you have become... i love you..."" Are the last words he said before i had to pull the trigger.... Ever since then i have now been learning from Ben about the Protectors, running the bar, and praying that i dont wake up due to that nightmare...<br/><br/>Personality: Quiet, humble, and more of a strong and silent type. Has a wide sense of humor. When working at the bar, or protectors i respect people who respect me, and kick the shit out of people who don't. With close friends and ""family"" i am sweet, nice guy who would do anything for them... Still has a very strong hate for vampires who live in the forest<br/><br/>Family/Relationships?: My father died, but Benjamin Ford is like a father figure to me now.<br/><br/>Weapon(s) : carries his father's weapon, an old silver tomahawk that has been in the family for generations<br/><br/>Other: Has a strong dislike of any sort of alcohol from working at the bar, it turns even the best people into the worst."

</div>
</div><br/>Faction: Protector<br/>Job: Local mechanic/tattoo artist<br/><br/>Bio: Like most protectors, J.D. comes from a family of them, and was trained nearly his entire life. Fathers teaching sons, as his family was one of the best, they always seemed to be the fittest, strongest and fastest of he protectors. Something they chalked up to intense training and hunting being in there blood. Though he wasn't trained by his father, seeing as he died when he was young and he has little memories of the man. Growing up though, he was the town rebel with out a cause. Despite his knowledge of the towns deeper secrets he wanted nothing to do with it, slacking off during training, Getting in trouble, causing a ruckus in the name of fun, and otherwise causing mischief. Becasue of this he grew very familiar with the local police force, as well as the inside of a jail cell he spent many nights there there, he even went so far as to carve into the wall of one saying ""J.D.'s cell, do no enter"" stating that it was reserved for him.<br/><br/>The only thing he liked doing was working on cars/bikes, as well as getting tattoos, and learning how to tattoo as well, some of his tattoos his own work. The only thing he liked more then working on cars and bikes though, was driving them. Obeying all road laws of course. So of course when he got older he fixed up the old mechanic shop, put a tattoo parlor on top, where he also lives. Many people though he would grow out of his rebellious nature but he never did, getting into bar fights for fun, and often stirring up trouble.<br/><br/>Though everything changed when he was 25, a rogue vampire attacked his mother and killed her. That was the turning point in his life, and while he was cleaning out his family home he went into a fit of rage, throwing things around and destroying everything. And during this he found his fathers sword, a silver blade that he lifted up. He was trained to use it, his mother teaching him swordsmen ship. He approached Benjamin, saying he wanted to join the hunt for the rogue vampire as he held his father's sword and agreed to join the protectors. Though that night didn't go as he planed, his anger and brashness almost got him killed, and if it wasn't for Benjamin he probably would of died. Ever since that night he looked up to the older man as a sot of father figure, seeing as he never had one. He did learn something from that night, Up until now he had simply been acting like a child, even joining the proctors was something he did in a fit of rage and not really a full grown adult decision. But he decided to make the most of it, he focused all of his anger into training, learning how to use his fathers sword, shoot a gun, and fight. He already knew how to do these things, even slacking during training he picked them up. But now he honed those skills.<br/><br/>Personality: He is clam, that rowdiness of his youth behind him and he has learned to keep his anger in check. Being a bet reserved he still likes to go out and have fun, spending most of his day working at the garage or training he likes to go to the local bar to let off steam, sit around and talk with people laughing the night away. He even still gets in trouble every once in awhile, but more the playful kind. He holds some hatred for vampires, but for the most part he sees hating them as a whole the same as hating all humans for your average run of the mill murderer. He after along well enough with that vampire at the coffee shop across the street from his garage.<br/><br/>Family/Relationships?: Benjamin, He looks up to the man as his only real father figure in his life: Jason hunt, Spending a lot of time at the bar he feels a friendship to the owner and fellow protector.<br/><br/>Weapon(s) : Silver Katana, and two M1911 with silver bullets.<br/><br/>Other: His family has always been strong, fast, have good instinct and canines just love them. They never seem to get sick as J.D. him self doesn't ever remember getting sick. No one in his family has died for sickness that he knows of, most of them seemed to get killed, or live to an old age but still healthy as a horse as the ageing processes seems to take less of a toll on them. They mostly just chalked it up to good genes, but the truth is his family is long line of were wolves. The curse only rises once someone kills an innocent person, be it on purpose or on accident and many people haven't seen or heard of a werewolf in a very long time, mostly due to the fact that both vampires and humans hunted them to near extinction as the night of a full moon was something they both feared as for that one night werewolves would rise up and hunt down human and vampire a like as they were the mostly deadly predator out there. (as of now he doesn't change at all due to never having killed an innocent)<div class=""hider-panel"">

Take initiative.<br/></ul><br/><br/><b>IC information - setting:</b><br/><br/>Kingstone, capital of the United Kingdom of the Isles<br/><br/><center><i>Abercrose Square was largely deserted at this time of day. Few citizens dared venture out in a downpour such as this, especially not when the wind swept in the cold from the bay. Even though the waterfront was several blocks away and out of sight, the stones of Abercrose were being whipped by a merciless wind. Fortunately none of the smell reached the square.<br/><br/>Calwin Ruyne disembarked from the railway wagon, umbrella at the ready. Luckily the platform was inside of the train station so the roof shielded him from the rain. A sudden thought hit him in force. Not even ten years ago was the first time this big mechanical beast was put into use for the first time. Society had eagerly welcomed the invention, gratefully tolerating the crowded wagons as long as it shortened their commutes. Already it was unthinkable -even outright impossible- to remove the railway. The last four decades had seen a plenitude of scientific and technological breakthroughs. Progress they called it, but Calwin couldn’t help but see the analogy between society and a junky needing its next fix.<br/><br/>The age of industry had arisen from the workshops and factories of social pariahs called scientists and inventors. Factories had sprouted up like mushrooms, each producing more grime and muck than the last. Calwin thought them filthy, polluting the air, the water even the people working there. Everything was so crowded now as everyone came to live in the cities. The working class reminded him of squalor in need of nesting... First the area within the walls was filled up with brick housing, warehouses and industry. Afterwards the city had poured out in the countryside, like a popped boil.<br/><br/>Everyone, and he meant everyone, wanted to move forward, to discover new things. A better faster way of making money or living. Even a natural cynic as he, had to acknowledge the fact several inventions had caused an improvement in living conditions. Sadly, others negated those effects. Tooth paste for example: excellent for dental hygiene, the downsides were that it needed child labour forces and was a pricy commodity. Society and its paradoxes was what occupied Calwin’s mind as he made his way across Abercrose Square, avoiding puddles as he went. It would be a damn shame if his black shining leather boots got dirty.<br/></i></center><br/><br/>Some 60 years ago the world experienced an earth-shaking socio-economic development that reshaped the balance of power. Unprecedented scientific and technological progress uplifted ancient societies in an era of prosperity as the power of steam was harnessed. No longer subject to the fickle means of natural energy coming from wind or water. Production and trade skyrocketed. Society evolved from rural to urban.<br/><br/>As an economical golden age dawned, other fields, from agriculture to transport, took advantage of the ever growing understanding and knowledge. The cascade of developments sent ripples through society’s structure. Nobility, clinging to ancient rights and prerogatives, increasingly finds itself toe-to-toe with the growing influence and wealth of the bourgeoisie and merchants. Industrialists, bankers and businessmen are organising themselves politically to defend their interests. However, they are not the only ones with a growing sense of identity and camaraderie. The lower classes, exploited by both, are forming farming and labour movements to make their voices heard. Several new ideologies and ‘-isms’ have reared their heads.<br/><br/>In an attempt to vent domestic issues, the advanced nations of Ardua look outside their borders. Some employ the technological advancements on a military level to safeguard their sphere of influence, while others take to the seas and the newly discovered continent of Pan-Dessia in order to deal with an exploding population. Relationships between the advanced nations have begun to erode quickly; free trade has been replaced by tariffs, regulation, and distrust.<br/><br/>With the increasing understanding of the workings of the world, religion has taken to provide either charity to the populace or pursue worldly goals to maintain its influence. Though the power of the Church and general faith is waning, it is still a considerable international powerhouse. Especially among the solace-seeking lower classes, stuck in the mud and grime of physical labour, the Church of the Maker has a strong following. They are not alone though seeking to capitalise influence in the ‘crowd’ and proletariat. Socialism and nationalism are finding a fertile soil to put down roots. Both are eagerly used in the pursuit of political goals. Additionally there are the urban cults and splinter groups. They range from the ridiculously harmless to the unsettling dangerous. Of course, there is the ever present smudge of crime, organised or not.<br/><br/><b>OOC information:</b><br/>Technology is clearly of industrial age, generally steam-power based. Gunpowder exists as do ironclad ships and steamers. There is no flight except for hot-air balloons and small zeppelins. Electricity is only experimental.<br/><br/>Though we play in a custom created world, it is styled after our own. Similarities may incur and are mostly even encouraged for the safety they provide.<br/><br/>The United Kingdom of the Isles is the most dominant nautical power and industrialised nation. Clearly based on the British Empire, it is relatively small in size but has a large population. Other nations will be thought of and included further along the way. They will probably be styled after genuine contemporary nations.<br/><br/>There are several factions such as the government, nobility, mercantile class, lower class unions, clergy, criminal organisations,... However, that is not to say any of the aforementioned is a consolidated block on its own.<br/><br/>Some roles I can easily see being played are: politician (noble or merchant), banker, crime lord, high clergyman, inquisitor or constable, military, trader, celebrity (actor, artist, painter,...), spy, scientist, revolutionary voice, spokesman of a union, ... It's not an exhaustive list, obviously. There are almost endless possibilities.<br/><br/>At this point I am unsure where to place the players, though I have several ideas brewing. I have a few plots in mind, but am looking to include player characters as focal points in these.<br/><br/><b>Geography:</b><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<br/>Kingstone, capital of the United Kingdom of the Isles (also referred to as the Union) is considered to be the centre of Ardua. As big as it is ancient, it was originally founded by the Old Empire which fell into ruin over one and a half millennium ago. As a result citizens of the Isles are rather full of themselves, their heads filled with ancient glory and history. Additionally, the United Kingdom boasts the largest ocean fleet in all of Ardua and in spite of its limited landmass is considered the biggest powerhouse on the international stage.<br/><br/>The Union itself comprises of a series of large and small islands a good deal off the coast of Eronia, the Old Continent. The biggest island is Erdley, on which southern coast Kingstone is comfortably nestled. Wrenscote is the second largest island known to be the largest producer of wool of the United Kingdom. The wool is shipped from Wrenhaven to Erdley where it is turned into clothes and cloth, after all, it was the textile industry which was the engine behind Ardua’s first real industrial progress. The third island worthy of note is Grenwen. The majority of the United Kingdom’s production of metal and steel comes from the Grenwenian mines and factories, though Erdley itself holds a few mines as well. Other Islands are Shelly, Ryken and Turwall.<br/><br/>To the west of Erdley lies Eronia, the Old Continent on which a variety of nations vie for control and hegemony. While the continentals bicker among themselves, the United Kingdom of the Isles has cast its gaze east, to the newly discovered continent of Pan-Dessia, content to leave Eronia to Eronians as long as Union naval supremacy is respected. Kingstone has a thriving war industry producing ammunitions, firearms, artillery and canned food. It would be a shame if a profitable market would instantly be shut off.<br/><br/>Pan-Dessia is vast, unexplored and unexploited. Expeditions are under way to chart the interior of the huge landmass while the Union is busy along its coastline with setting up bases, penal colonies and factories. The natives have proven to be a cautious lot and seem to lack a central government. The only town worthy of note on the Pan-Dessian continent is Richmond which is quickly developing into a full-fledged city.

<br/><b>Kingstone:</b><br/>The capital of the modern world has as many facets as it has streets. Named after the tall donjon looking out across the sprawling urban landscape that makes up the city, Kingstone is the seat of the High-King of the Union. It is also sometimes called the White City because of the distinct colour of the stone predominately used in Kingstonian buildings.<br/><br/><b>The Abercrose District:</b><br/>The heart of the city, Abercrose shares its name with the large square in the centre of it. Many official buildings and institutions of the government are found within the district. One of them is the Hall of Questions, the ominous seat of his Majesty’s Inquisition. There is no missing this building as it is erected in black stone and sports a plain facade, standing out like a sore thumb among the pristine white of the other richly decorated buildings. On the opposite end of the square lies the Dome, the official building of the Open Council, an assembly where lords and ladies that have inherited their seat share their legislative powers with an elected portion of the upper civil class.<br/><br/><b>The Croombe District:</b><br/>Home to most of the artists and actors of the city, it is not surprising most -if not all- theatres and public ballrooms are situated here. The Promenade cuts straight through the district, lined with theatres, opera houses and rentable halls where travelling companies might put on their show. Croombe is historically colourful and easy-going. Brothels of great quality are to be found here, as is the Courtesan Institute. A pseudo-official organisation with the emblem of a rose, renowned for tutoring promising girls into courtesans.<br/><br/><b>The Old Commons:</b><br/>The streets here are still unhardened and hardly worth the name of street. Instead they smell and resemble an open sewer. No impressive pieces of architecture are to be found here, unless you count the closely guarded distilleries lining the aptly named Bottle Street, and prison. Most buildings are of wood or cheap low-quality brick. The Old Commons are best to be avoided by people with full purses and wallets. Though City Watch patrols are known to pass through the Old Commons, they are also known to be persuaded to turn a blind eye for sufficient coin. Actual patrols are far in between and in some areas non-existent. The Old Commons lie not far from the harbour where most dockworkers and sailors have made their dens. Criminal syndicates have their headquarters here, mounting raids and shady dealings from their underground clubs and headquarters. Additionally they operate cheap whorehouses, taverns and brothels to easily relieve sailors from their hard earned coin.

<br/>The United Kingdom of the Isles, or the Union, is as the name might allude a monarchy. However, King Harold IV is not alone in governing his great nation. He is aided by a variety of bureaucratic institutions and legislative bodies. Fortunately, for Harold IV is extremely obese, nearing sixty and senile. Already he spends more hours asleep than awake and his son prefers parading around the royal grounds like a peacock and living in a romanticized fantasy. <br/><br/>There are two councils with legislative powers. The first is by far the biggest, the Open Council, consisting of 240 seats. Half of which are occupied by people descendant of ancient and respected bloodlines. Their seats are their birthright on which they may rest their pompous behinds. The second, the Closed Council, is smaller. However, what it lacks in size it makes up for in power and influence. Twelve of the most influential people of the Union occupy a chair in this most august body. These men and women take care of the everyday politics of the Union, possessing both minor legislative and almost total executive powers.

        The Union’s military is a well-ordered and structured machine with clear outlines concerning rank and discipline. Though gunpowder weapons are becoming of increasing importance, conventional weaponry such as sword, pike and cavalry still make up the mainstay of the Kingdom’s armed forces. The most notable weapon which uses gunpowder is the cannon, of which His Majesty’s navy generously makes use of. Though uniforms may vary per regiment (6,000 men), they usually are of a red colour. The highest ranks in the military are those of Lord Marshal (commander in chief for terrestrial forces) and Lord Admiral (commander in chief for nautical forces).<br/><br/>The Kingstone City Watch is the police force of the capital. Though not professional soldiers, these men are well-equipped and decently trained nonetheless. They wear a blue and white uniform and are armed with a variety of weapons. The Kingstone City Watch Commander has jurisdiction over most of Kingstone and its suburbs and employs constables and detectives to solve petty crimes, while agents and police officers patrol the streets.

        The more serious cases are handled by the ominous Inquisition. Nobody knows exactly how many agents there are or who spies on who. However, to lay hands upon an agent of this institute is a capital offence. The primal weapon of His Majesty’s Inquisition is fear. People that have crossed an Inquisitor have been known to disappear. And it is more than likely that a decent portion of the bloated unidentifiable bodies floating in the Bay come from the underground complex of the House of Questions. To this end the Inquisitorial agents, called Practicals, are clad in grey and black uniforms and masks that cover up the lower half of their face. Every Practical is in the service of an Inquisitor. Usually an Inquisitor has about two or three Practicals under him, though that number may vary depending on the workload or assignment. Department leaders of the Inquisition are called Superiors, usually there is one in every city. Inquisitors Exempt are those men and women, usually with a special mandate, who serve directly under the Arch Inquisitor, who is the overall leader.

</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Thaumaturgy - Mixing technology and constructs with magic. All magic is classed as part of thaumaturgy. Fetishes/props/foci for Thaumaturgy often include chymical batteries, charms, animal parts, and clockwork devices.<br/><br/>Call it what you like; sorcery, magic, witchcraft or the arcane. A thaumaturge or thaumaturgist is someone who is known to tap into the mysterious powers of the Other Side. Everyone knows about it and most likely knows someone who has used it. However - skills in the field of thaumaturgy are rare. While there may be 1 in 1000 people capable of minor magics, the more skilled and more powerful occur 1 in half a million or even less frequently.<br/><br/>Magic in Ardua, like much of life in general, comes at a cost. Puissance (the power for a magic) must come from a source, usually what is referred to as ‘the Other Side’. Either the stamina and blood of the casting mage, the sacrifice of others, or chymical (pseudo-chemistry) and thaumaturgic batteries constructed for the purpose. These are extremely expensive to build and even more costly to maintain. <br/><br/>The most common source of chymical essence comes from the whale oil. This substance harvested from the rare avankh-whales that populate the ocean between Eronia and Pan-Dessia. Another use for chymistry is that batteries with thaumaturgic properties can be adjusted to give off power and current. Trains and ships can be powered with such a special core. Because of the huge demand of whale oil, over fishing is threatening to exterminate the nautical behemoths and scientists and thaumaturges alike are frantically looking for an alternate source of power.<br/><br/>As stated, magic can come from the Other Side - but whatever dwells there must be bargained with and magic must be bought. For example there are people that have the powers to find hidden pathways (teleport of a kind), to remain unseen and to learn secrets. For each use they must have something of theirs hidden - they forget a memory, or have a skill removed, lose their native language or have a body part taken away, hidden forever by the Great Other.<br/><br/>Some examples of thaumaturgy:<br/>Communicaturgy - Able to communicate over vast distances with psychometry. A female of this art is called a communicatrix.<br/>Biothaumaturgy - Mixing technology and biology. Most biothaumaturges work in the Punishment Factories creating Remade from criminals.<br/>Subvocalurgy - Mind control through suggestion and whispers. They charm their conversational partners. Powerful Sussurators (or Wordsmiths) can whisper to a specific target over miles. However, this is practically impossible to pull off with strong-willed people.<br/>Geothaumaturgy - Manipulation and sensing of the earth. Turning rock to mud, detecting Smokestone eruptions or finding types of rock. These thaumaturges are often employed in the mining industry.<br/>Elementurgy - Elementurgists have an affinity to one of nature’s 4 basic elements. They are sensitive to it and able to shape elemental powers. However, they cannot conjure up these elements from thin air (excluding air itself, obviously).<br/><br/>

<br/>As workers, labourers and farmers took to the streets over the past decades for more rights, there are other groups and minorities demanding fair treatment as well. Though not a minority, women suffrage movements have allowed the modern woman to enjoy liberties previously reserved for men. Though demure and modest behaviour and character are a much desired quality of the fairer sex, headstrong and willful women have succeeded in establishing a comfortable position for themselves.<br/><br/>Particular outlets of the coming aware of female identity are the many female singers and actresses, often pioneers of female right movements. Other such outlets, funded by female frivolity are soirees and masked balls. More and more women are to be not just beautiful but also witty and intelligent. However, it is almost uniquely in the upper echelons of society that there are well-educated and pretty women. They often accompany people of importance.<br/><br/>Though many types of office and rank are still solely filled by male occupants, women are allowed to sit in the High Kingdom’s Open Council (parliament). Still, the actual female members of the Open Council can be counted on two hands.<br/><br/>In short, nobility and upper class bourgeoisie women have a say -however limited- in politics, their lives and the upbringing of their children. No longer confined to inside, they venture outdoors and make themselves known to the world. This is not true for the average Jane still slaving about the kitchen for her worker class husband.

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>The men and women convicted for medium crimes and felonies are brought to the Punishment Factories. What happens there is all hush hush and secret. Government biothaumaturgists, biologists, scientist and their lackeys work day and night forging human bodies in something new. The initial goal is to turn the person into something useful, like providing him or her with a series of gils and fins to work underwater, repairing the hulls of ships. This takes away the need to put the vessel into dry-dock. Karl Marx speaks metaphorically of this condition when he famously described exploited workers as, ""an appendage of flesh on a machine of iron."" However in recent years, the Punishment Factories are churning out increasingly disturbing variations of Remades.<br/><br/>Remade are a horribly exploited underclass of the Union. Their condition and place in society is a form of indentured service or slavery (in the city and the Isles themselves as well as in its colonies and armies). The Remade are usually people who are caught up in the criminal justice system and then forced to undergo a capricious and cruel alteration at the hands of the Union’s biothaumaturges. In the punishment factories, the prisoners' bodies are horrifically altered, limbs and other body parts replaced with steam-powered machinery, heavy mechanical metal parts, or grafted together with human or animal components. There are reported cases of live foxes sewn into chests, torsos attached backwards to a horse, tentacles and pistons and caterpillar treads and eyes and lizard claws fitted wantonly wherever they will go; the sadism of Remaking seems to know no limits. <br/>

Nobody is quite sure what he does with his time, but one suspects it is spent largely with beautiful young women (and, in some corners, men) behind closed doors, amid the fug of cigarette smoke and wine-induced laughter. While these accusations aren't strictly untrue, they do not take into account the amount of time he spends working – while hardly around the clock, he is never switched 'off' or relaxed. Though nobody in his social circles knows of his true identity as Inquisitor, if they did, they would suggest his ostentatious caprice was an act, a mere guise for a cold and calculating underside. His whimsical behaviour is no deception, and is, in many ways, his best defence; nobody would suspect him, and, as such, he has the standard aristocratic access to those environment where he does his best work; infecting the rich and powerful. Leoleo is enthralled by his work, wielding a great power almost unheard of for somebody his age and, crucially, none of the responsibility, acting directly under the mandate of the Arch Inquisitor. Selfish Leoleo is built for ballrooms, dining rooms and bedrooms, not the House of Questions or Punishment Factories. While he certainly isn't stupid, and has been known to be pointlessly cruel or vindictive while in a sour mood, he keeps himself in high society. Exposure to the grubbier hinterworld of physical violence, oppression and poverty will turn his stomach. He chooses ignorance.<br/><b>Biography:</b>Leopold van Steinwald is the great nephew of the Emperor of Kiezland. Of course, in such incestuous, mass-bred circles, this makes him a potential heir, but perhaps fifty-fourth in line to the throne. It is unlikely the world will ever see a Kaiser Leopold. Nevertheless, he hardly had a difficult time growing up. It took him a few years to become accustomed to the backbiting and intrigue of the aistocracy, but quickly found himself adept at this. Aged seventeen, he performed his token national service (technically, he is<i>Captain</i>van Steinwald) and attended university. It was here that his uncanny ability for Thaumaturgy, specifically Subvocalurgy, revealed itself to the professor of thaumaturgy and his personal tutor. Whatever nothing it was that he wasn't bothering to properly study was immediately benched; Leoleo's new goal in life was to lean to control people.<br/>Of course, during this time, his exposure to the high society was no less diminished, including to agents from the Union. They had presumably been seeking allies in Kiezland for a while, but Leoleo was the first suitable candidate they came across. He was not an<i>informant</i>per se, but he definitely did some informing in his time, and, as time passed, he also did a little influencing, though he never found out exactly what the organisation was that he came to be involved with. Shortly following his father's death, and his further separation from the throne, he received an invitation from an emissary of the Arch Inquisitor – come to the Union. Be what he was, a foreign, exciting noble, la crème de la crème of the aristocracy – and use the opportunities that presented themselves to influence the great and the good to make them greater and better."

He is a sociopath, preferring to be alone than out socialising, though with the few, if any, friends he has he can trustworthy and straightforward. He is excellent at his job, filing and lending books from the vast archives of the Royal Library situated just off Abercrose Square. In spite of his adept performance, he still draws only a meagre wage, and lives in a small, almost Spartan apartment on the verge of the Abercrose district and the Old Commons. He has few, if any friends, staying in the library long after hours. He was born into a family of the small but expanding middle class, his father a railway engineer and his mother a teacher. When he was 16, his father died in an industrial accident- his mother soon to follow him. She had lost the will to live. He was forced to leave school and find work, being engaged in a number of temporary occupations before being accepted as an apprentice librarian due to his natural intellect. Because of his incessant love of reading, he is quite knowledgeable on a vast variety of topics, expressing his views frankly when queried about them. How such a lowly character will be engaged in the critical coming years is as of yet undetermined.<br/><br/>Appearance : He has tightly cropped dark brown hair combed to one side, and a pair of deep, wary, piercing green eyes. His skin is pale due both to the smog of the Old Commons and the seclusion of the library. He is slightly above average height, and of a slim build.<br/><br/>(I hope my character is up to par. If not, I would be happy to make the necessary adjustments.)"

Adjustment to strange etiquette standards became a daunting task, leaving him often making movements and speaking phrases out of the ordinary for the rich and powerful.<br/><br/><b>Biography:</b><br/>The base of Nikolas' lavish and erratic lifestyle was not that of a normal well-to-do young man. He was born out of wedlock in the countryside of Wrenscote. Often ignored and left alone by his low-middle class parents, Nikolas turned to tinkering as a source of entertainment in his childhood. He began to experiment with all sorts of steam-powered devices. He also became captivated by wildlife, particularly the local avian population. Much of his time was spent either with tools in a field or a pencil and pad in a field.<br/>Nikolas endeavored in the area of flight mechanics. He was amazed by the views of hot air balloons that rarely floated in the clear skies above the fields at his home. By the age of 19, he had managed to piece together a vehicle of the sky. He called it the ""steam-propelled gas balloon"". Early attempts at selling the machine were in vain, as locally the invention seemed to have no purpose and was generally a waste of space and materials. In his early twenties, Nikolas loaded his possessions and rations into his balloon prototype. He lifted it into the air, taking flight all the way to Kingstone, where he managed to successfully land his apparatus outside of the city. This attracted a lot of attention to the design, and soon orders for these balloons, nicknamed ""zeppelins"" due to the buzz-hum of the steam engine, flooded in. Nikolas bought a large amount of land just outside of the city, having a large estate built for himself. The most notable part of this extravagant house is the aviary, a large glass dome connected to the mansion, with a sprawling tree in the center. Because of his successes and newfound wealth, Nikolas began to socialize with the rich and famous of the city."

<br/>Name: Alberic Bourneham<br/>Age: 34<br/>Profession/vocation: Dyer, Trade Union Leader<br/>Affiliation: Erdley Textile Workers Association<br/>Skills:<br/>- Operation and maintenance of steam-powered machinery<br/>- Understanding of chemistry<br/>- Dyeing textile<br/>- Organisation<br/><br/>Traits: <br/>- Ambitious<br/>- Impatient<br/>- Charitable<br/>- Uncompromising<br/>- Opportunistic<br/><br/>Personality:<br/><br/>Biography:<br/>Working for a small pharmacy James Bourneham, father of Alberic, could afford a small house and maintain his wife and three children. The street Alberic and his two sisters grew up in was lined with the narrow brick houses that rose up in huge blocks on the outskirts of Kingstone. With the wages of both parents Alberic and his sisters all attended high school but had to work in the hours after school and in the weekends. There was little time for playing around but it was clear to Alberic, even at an early age, that his life was considerably more pleasant than that of many of his neighbours. Only a handful of children in the neighbourhood could afford attending school as most had to find employment to get bread on the table. Marcus, one of his close childhood friends, often shared stories about his work cleaning the machinery in a textile mill. However, over time the two grew apart as Alberic developed new interests and ideas while Marcus never seemed to talk about anything other than the gossip of the neighbourhood and accidents at the mill. Alberic felt he was destined for greater things than to be stuck in the squalor of a working class neighbourhood.<br/><br/>When he graduated from high school Alberic was sent off to university to study chemistry. At first the university was a symbol for intellectualism, sophistication and all the things he desired but could not find back home, but soon he found that nothing had changed. He found new friends but quickly saw that he did not belong. The gap between the rich and poor, even at the university was as clear as day. Gradually Alberic’s escapism changed into frustration and involved himself in social movements and political discussions. However, his new life ended abruptly when his father passed away suddenly and Alberic had to leave the university. Having lost the main source of income Alberic was forced to take a job as a dyer at a textile mill. The same textile mill where his childhood friends had worked for years.<br/><br/>His father’s death had been hard to deal and as time passed his sadness did not disappear but turned into anger. He felt he deserved more than this and as he looked at the plight of those around him knew that his colleagues deserved more too. Reunited, as fate would have it, with his old friend Marcus, Alberic shared his ideas of equality and change. Word spread and soon groups of people gathered to talk of work and politics. As the gatherings grew and Marcus reached out to his friends in other factories, the Erdley Textile Workers Association was created. For a while its leadership consisted of representatives of the factories, often old men who had been working at the mills for decades. Though the movement was growing and there was talk of strikes and sabotage, things were moving far too slow for Alberic. He felt that the old guard could not see the bigger picture and never hesitated to share this with his colleagues. Over the years his ideas of equality turned more radical and his thoughts on justice ever more violent. Ultimately Alberic volunteered himself to negotiate with the factory owners and became the de facto head of the association.

She is adept at putting up a show, acting polite and personable when it is to her advantage. But she is more naturally shrewd and prudent, refusing to compromise or settle in negotiations. While she may have the appearance of civility and charm, Adrianna is more often than not galled by most people and would rather be left to her own devices.<br/><br/><b>Biography:</b>Since the rise of steam and steel, the demand for previously worthless materials such as oil and coal skyrocketed. Like many others, Daniel St. Clair found his fortune through obtaining and selling such raw materials. St. Claire Oil & Mining Company, formerly St. Claire Oil Company, was originally a whaling company. The company managed a small group of boats, and the majority of profits came from whale oil. Over time stiff competition, decreases in the whale population, and an over-saturated market drove out all but the biggest and richest companies. St. Claire Oil Co. barely hung on, and was greatly overshadowed by larger companies. Daniel St Claire. became apathetic and felt content resting on his modest but respectable fortune.<br/><br/>An older Daniel St. Claire, with several children and a few divorces, decided to spend his last years and what was left of his fortune in bars and brothels. At some point he convinced himself he was in love with a prostitute who called herself Cinnamon, and whose birth name is Adrianna Plainview. One hasty wedding later Adrianna found herself a small fortune. And with her new husband's health failing, she effectively had total control of his company. Within the span of a few short years, Adrianna shifted the company away from the dwindling whale oil market and towards oil drilling on land and mining ores and other raw materials. St. Claire Oil & Mining reached a new level of success. And with her newly self-made wealth, Adrianna starting investing huge sums into new energy sources. While not as large as other competitors, Adrianna is determined to make St Claire Oil & Mining Company an unstoppable giant.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

He also has a fascination with explosives and other more destructive inventions.<br/>-Ex-Navyman; Having served in His Majesty’s Royal navy for nineteen years, Aaron knows how to handle himself in a fight. He’s skilled with a sword, and knows how to use a pistol or musket if he has to.<br/>-Public Speaker: Aaron has a knack for inspiring those around him, and was occasionally used to boost morale by ships’ captains during long sea voyages while he was in the Navy.<br/><br/>Traits:<br/>-Outgoing<br/>-Easily amused<br/>-A bit of a clown, but serious when the situation demands it.<br/>-Stubborn - he likes to hold grudges.<br/>-Very strongly opinionated.<br/><br/>Personality: Aaron is an easygoing, outgoing fellow - he’s always quick to offer a smile and a nod to those he passes in the street, and will almost always go out of his way to help those he deems in greater need than he. He’s stubborn, and will always stick to his morals; and, God help anyone who gets on the wrong side of him - he’ll do everything in his power to ensure that they regret making the decision to cross him.<br/><br/>However, born a bastard of a well-off nobleman, and denied the privileges that he would have had, had his parents’ union been legitimate, Aaron harbours a resentment for the nobility - and, ultimately, the monarchy. He deems the King and his Government unfit to run the United Kingdom, and is a strong believer in democracy - a belief that could possibly get him hung, if he was too vocal about it.<br/><br/>Biography: Aaron was born as a result of the illegitimate union between his mother, Nancy Scott - a serving wench in a Kingstone waterfront tavern - and his father, Lucian McLawrence - a highly respected, decorated and recognised nobleman and a high-ranking member of His Majesty’s Royal Navy. Lucian was a charming, kind-hearted fellow - who had the misfortune of being married to a woman whom he hated, and who was - in his own words - “committed to making his life a living hell.”<br/><br/>Aaron never knew his father, but his mother - still smitten, even though she had been left to raise a child on her own at the tender age of nineteen - always spoke of him fondly. Lawrence’s wife forbid him from ever meeting Aaron, but he<i>did</i>send - and continue to send, until Aaron’s eighteenth birthday - more than enough money for Nancy to provide Aaron with a comfortable upbringing if she continued working a few nights a week; something she was eternally grateful for, as she knew many women in the same position as her who did not receive the funds that she did.<br/><br/>Although his father was painted as a saint by his mother, Aaron despised him - and hated that, as he was always told, that he had his blonde hair and blue eyes. A troubled and angry child, Aaron was nothing but trouble for his loving, kind-hearted mother - whom he cared for greatly, even if he never showed it.<br/><br/>When he was thirteen, Aaron’s mother received a letter from Lawrence - requesting that Aaron join the Navy, and serve on his father’s vessel for a three-year long voyage. Aaron outright refused his father’s offer, but, with some persuasion from his mother, he was convinced to agree to join the Navy and serve on his father’s vessel; and bid his mother farewell in the sixth month of his thirteenth year.<br/><br/>Aaron served on his father’s vessel - one of the largest in His Majesty’s Navy - for three years, sailing around the world and doing battle with the United Kingdom’s enemies; and it was one of the best experiences of his life. When he returned home - no longer a troublesome boy but a disciplined young man - he was met with the sad news that his mother - always a fragile woman, although she’d never had admitted it - had passed away during his time away from home.<br/><br/>He was devastated, and arranged for his mother to be buried in a nearby cemetery after a few weeks of drunken grieving. Aaron immediately went back to the docks - and, now recognised as a relatively skilled sailor - and was hired on to another of His Majesty’s Vessels, and spent the next sixteen years of his life sailing around the world, serving the Navy.<br/><br/>Aaron rose through the ranks quickly (partially due to his father’s influence, behind the scenes, but mostly because of his own talent) and was at the rank of First Mate when he discharged himself from the Navy three months into his thirty-second year, upon his return to Kingstone from a particularly long seavoyage."

Not Rengaia's blatant trolling.<br/><br/>Just as I finished typing the above, I noticed, to my dismay, that the reviled Rengaia had returned! And yet more bluffing! Now he has sunk to such levels as to deliver petty threats to those he has purposefully incited. That won't look too good on your record. To him I say: slither back from whence you came!"

Creatures and Species of all sorts excited buzzed around the perimeter of the Preparatory. Much to Willow's distaste, the sun was high in the sky. Sunglasses shielding her eyes from the rays, she stepped off the bus. ""This is a school?"" She mused to herself. The building was beautiful and structured like a castle. She strained her head ring to listen to a couple of faeries yards away from her. ""Celebration of the new year! And you're dressed like that?"" One said. Willow looked down at herself and groaned slightly. She was dressed simply with jeans, skinny at her ankles, and a large blouse flowing around her. At the moment she thanked any Lord that she packed nicer clothes for later tonight. ""Let the freak show began,"" she said to herself before moving through the crowd, avoiding any physical contact.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Drakon flit effortlessly through the air. The heat felt warm against his scales and he hummed in appreciation. Today's weather was perfect for his journey, one he enjoyed taking every year. He landed slowly, aware of his surroundings. His tail flicked behind him as his underbelly hit the ground and he started out for a minute. Most dragons refused to be seen so close up, but he liked humans more than he should. After a moment of peace, his spine cracked and shifted into it was a third of it's original size. Drake stood, cracking his new limbs and joints. He grinned at some bystanders, nodding and appreciating the attention. ""How are you Erik?"" He called to a nervous looking banshee. All he got in return was a shriek to which he flinched and laughed. ""Of course, should have know."" He stated in a playful manner before heading towards the commons."

Needless to say, the young lycanthrope with raven locks and piercing blue eyes was shocked that it was so ordinary looking. Of course, Beau knew that they were trying to blend this in, but a castle? That was rather expected. Still, he grinned, adjusting his black leather jacket to sit properly on his strong arms, and left it opened to show his plain white tee. His jeans were a bit baggy, and on his feet were a pair of black work boots. He looked ordinary, but he noted that almost everyone did.<br/><br/>""Look over there, that one is definitely on the list."" One female spoke to another<br/><br/>""He is smoking. We'll get to know him soon."" The other said as they walked past him, arm in arm. They waved to him and he smirked. They were hot, but they seemed easy, and Beau was hoping for a challenge here. Soon, at his side was a rather well built blond guy with bright green eyes. A friend he made on the bus, and a lycanthrope like himself.<br/><br/>""You weren't kidding whe. You said you were a lady killer."" He said and Beau chuckled, looking about, his luggage slung over his shoulder effortlessly. It was in a rather large duffel as well as a backpack.<br/><br/>""Alex, wait until you see me in action."" Beau said, elbowing his companion as they headed into the building. Beau couldn't be bothered at all with the actual structure, as he now had his eyes scanning the girls. One stood out to him, beautiful blonde hair, amazing blue eyes. She was so... humanistic that it was a bit shocking. He had already seen two faeries showing their wings off, and plenty of succubi batting their lashes to the weaker minded men. However, this one he couldn't place a species to her aside from human.<br/><br/>""Know anything on her?"" Beau asked Alex. Alex was a returning student, so perhaps she was too.<br/><br/>""Nah man, but good eye. She's hot."" Alex commented as they headed towards the dorms where Beau found out that he was sharing with Alex. The seven hour bus ride was rather good for gathering information. ""But, we need to get you settled in before the festival tonight. Plenty of tail to chase there.""<br/><br/>Beau smiled at that. ""Sounds good to me.""<br/><br/>*~*~*~*~*<br/><br/>Another year was coming underway, and this she knew. Her normally ice blue eyes were a shade of deep sapphire, and her chestnut locks were down and curled. Ryan was prepared for the day, and that night. She was in a black dress that hugged her form and fell to just below her mid thigh, and her black pumps adding some height to her. She had arrived the day prior to everyone else, as per her attendance agreement she had to see the headmaster for evaluation. He knew how dangerous hybrids of her nature could be, and how if they tipped one way over another it could cause havoc.<br/><br/>She sighed, walking out to the courtyard to see if one of the few people she liked was here yet. A seer whom she had been helping translate old demon language for. She found him under a tree near where a dragon had just landed and she rolled her eyes. Placing a hand on the lanky boy who was scribbling symbols into a journal furiously, she could feel the temperature difference between them from his shoulder.<br/><br/>""Hello, Ryan."" He greeted, barely looking at her, or the page even.<br/><br/>""You still amaze me, Salazar."" She commented, ""Blind, yet sees. And writes. Why are you out here anyway? I thought you didn't leave your room aside from classes.""<br/><br/>""You should know."" He said to her, and she looked away, ""You were helping me translate my visions.""<br/><br/>His hand went to her shoulder where a brand in the old demon language. It translated to 'Demonic Angel.' It was something she tried to hide, and she was glad the fabric of her dress did just that. No one knew about that of her, but she also knew how rare her types were. ""Anyway, Salazar, did you spend all summer here?"" She asked, moving his hand.<br/><br/>Before he could answer, a few Incubi, new ones at that, came over. ""Looky here boys, a beautiful girl with an ugly guy. Babe, you know you can roll with us."" The apparent head of the group said, and her eyes flashed a hot color.<br/><br/>""I wouldn't if I were you."" Salazar warned, but the guy scoffed. However, a few of the students who had been attending the school previously stopped.<br/><br/>Alex and Beau even stopped at the sight. ""She is hot."" Beau agreed, ""Too hot for him.""<br/><br/>Alex ahook his head, ""Ryan is one being you don't want to cross paths with. She might look beautiful, but she is also a mystery. She makes damn sure to keep herself shut off from people. Salazar is the only one we have ever seen her around.""<br/><br/>Ryan's chuckle caused their attention to turn. ""Babe? I have a name, and even if Salazar was my boyfriend, I'm still way out of your league."" She said, stepping forward. ""Demon wannabe.""<br/><br/>The last part she whispered before her hand began glowing, and she placed her index finger to his forehead, watching the skin burn and him fall unconscious. ""Let's go, Salazar."" She said, and Salazar got up and followed her, his blind eyes down on the ground.<br/><br/>Beau looked to Alex. ""Is that guy okay?""<br/><br/>""He is just unconscious. He'll be alright, but just steer clear of her. All of us do, like I said."" Alex said as they continued on towards their dorm."

Three months ago if you told her such creatures existed she would've asked you to visit a doctor. But she was. A monster and all. Her fangs scraped against her lips- she was hungry, she had been hungry for days but she refused to feed. Despite being a vampire, she was still human. At night, when she'd lay there by herself, she could swear that her heart was still beating. Shaking her blonde hair, she wrapped her arms around herself, wanting to disappear.<br/><br/>Her ears perked at the sound of two males talking. Slowly she glanced around before spotting two a long ways from her. Her keen eyesight showed just how attractive they both were, but from their conversation, she didn't want a thing with either of them. She wanted in this hell and then out.<br/><br/>The dormitory was in her sight and she felt relieved until someone bumped into her. The smell of herbs and odd objects filled her nose, which meant one thing. An inexperienced Caster.<br/><br/>She turned sharply, her fangs extending in view. ""Watch it witch.""<br/><br/>The girl's eyes widened and she backed away, ""Chill sucker, it was an accident.""<br/><br/>Willow pulled the sunglasses from her face, sure her eyes were black from hunger. ""I don't care.""<br/><br/>She turned without another word, moving briskly into the building I'm front of her. All she knew was her room number, 112. Her eyes viewed the numbers from down the hall, from her spot when she realized she was at the very end. ""You've got to be kidding me.""<br/><br/>Once in her room, she unlocked the dorm to see her roommate wasn't there. She set her things down on the bed before shutting the door to change.<br/><br/>She picked out a dress that reflected her mood. It was blood red with lace sleeves and corset top, curving against her body. Her hair was curled and flowing past the middle the of her back. The only thing she adored about becoming a monster was the fact that it enhanced her appearance. She slipped on red pumps to show off her legs. The time was almost up for her to finish getting ready, so she hurried to the bathroom. There, she thickened her red lipstick on her lips and added a bit more mascara before being satisfied with how she looked.<hr/>Drakon was around the sit of the girl of fire. Students knew her by Flame- he remembered when she first started attending, the amount of males wagging their tails for her pretty face. But she was an angry soul. He chuckled slightly when he noticed two of his friends walking by.<br/><br/>""Alex! Beau!"" He called, jogging past the girl with flames and the seer. He turned around to face them while jogging to take a look at the girl, before smiling and turning back around.<br/><br/>When he caught up with the two he winked. ""Welcome back fellas, it's good to be home, eh?"" He asked cheekily.<br/><br/>Drake was known around the campus for being everyone's friend. Drakon, the dragon was viscous and blood thirsty, so any time he was human he made up for it.<br/><br/>He paused to look at Rae an ice faerie. ""I hope your summer wasn't too hot Rae!"" He called out with a smile, waving.<br/><br/>His bags were light gassing his shoulders, causing him pace around easily. His slacks and nice shirt would do him well for the celebration, he was sure. But looking around at those already dressed, he smirked. The girls were luring the guys and the guys were following happily. ""Welcome to the beginning,"" he mused to himself, smiling and waving at those he knew around him as they headed towards the dorm. ""Let the celebration begin."""
15340,Come Undone,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18497-come-undone,['1x1'],2014-03-13 04:12:00,BeautifulNightmare,"Beau looked over to Drake and gave a grin. ""Long time no see. It is great to be back. Especially after being gone a year, I didn't think it would change so much."" He said. He had been gone for his.pack's Alpha selection process, and the headmaster had understood that. Still, Beau watched as the girl walked off with the rather odd boy. Ryan.<br/><br/>Alex chuckled, ""Flame is starting fires already. I don't think anyone could tame her beast.""<br/><br/>Beau noticed Drake checking her out and it sparked an idea. ""Drake, why not chase after her? Obviously fire is her element, and you are a dragon."" He proposed. ""Who better to tame a fire beast than a dragon?""<br/><br/>Alex gave Beau a look as the three took off.towards their dorms. ""That is suicide. No one knows how Salazar got in her good graces, but he did.""<br/><br/>Beau just gave a smirk. ""Well, Alex, let's have a wager going then. I bet Drake here could get with her before you could get with anyone."" He teased and Alex sparked an idea.<br/><br/>""Really I bet he could get with Ryan before you could get with that blonde."" Alex said, and Beau looked to Drake. ""Hey, Drake has all sorts of girls drooling over him.""<br/><br/>Beau chuckled as they got in their dorm and began setting it up. ""Well then, what are we betting?"" He asked.<br/><br/>Alex thought. ""We need to think that over and talk to Drake.""<br/><br/>*~*~*~*~<br/><br/>Ryan and Salazar went off down the hallway towards her dorm room, number 112. She liked being there because it was kind of isolated and safe, but this year there were so many new people coming in she was forced to take on a roommate. Salazar spoke, falling into step with her. He might have been blind, but he could see aura, and he could clearly see Ryan's. ""Why do they get to you so much?""<br/><br/>Ryan sighed, getting closer to her door. ""Beacause, the feel they are entitled to everything and anything that breathes."" She answered.<br/><br/>""You only see that because you are one of the few that are immune to mind and allure powers. I have never met a demon like that."" Salazar said, and Ryan rolled her eyes, unlocking her door and walking in. Salazar wasn't far behind her, but she looked and saw a rather beautiful blonde in the room. ""A vampire... not one born either. Rare.""<br/><br/>Ryan waved her hand a bit before she looked to the girl. ""You must be my roommate. I'm Ryan, more known around these parts as Flame. If you stay out of my way, I will stay out of yours and hopefully this hell hole will be bearable."" She introduced herself before she helped Salazar to her bed. He sat down, and began scribbling in his journal.<br/><br/>""And she is from hell."" He commented. Ryan shot him a look, knowing he couldn't see it.<br/><br/>""I am not that kind of demon. Of the three types there are, my kind don't actually reside in hell. For a seer, you are terribly misinformed on demons."" Ryan sighed, walking over to her mirror and playing with her hair.<br/><br/>""Why are you bothering? You hate people, yet you go to the welcoming festival."" Spazar commented. The two were seriously in their own world, but Salazar addressed the other girl in the room. ""Isn't she odd?""<br/><br/>""Salazar, I swear. I go because it is part of my attendance agreement, and I am not going out there looking like a succubs tramp. I am a demon, and we are a higher standard than they are, even if I hate being what I am."" Ryan grumbled. Even though her evaluation went well, she knew how unstable she was. And it bothered her, but she continued messing with her hair, trying to make the curls perfect."

It was odd, she was pretty before, sure, yet the transformation made her so attractive it almost pained to look at herself. An animalistic hiss escaped her mouth and she punched the porcelain wall. ""Damnit,"" she cursed and moved away from the bathroom. Her ears perked at the sound of footsteps coming towards the end of the hall.<br/><br/>Her mind found one source- a seer male. She gasped as she left his mind, she didn't like the what she say. When the door open, her fangs extended and a hiss came out of her mouth. When she realized neither were human, and one day she was going to have to kill someone, she signed.<br/><br/>""Sorry,"" she started, moving from her defensive stance, ""I'm still getting use to the whole monster aspect."" Her eyes moved to the blind boy, ""It is?"" That sparked her interest.<br/><br/>The auburn girl was pretty- and Willow assumed that god made all the evils pretty to temp the humans. Her eye cocked at the girls introduction.<br/><br/>""I'm Willow, and I'm just here to make sure I don't go on a crazed blood hunt."" Her smile was fake and tight as she stood awkwardly in the room. Watching Ryan, her eyes dilated as she tried to pry into her mind. She out a hand to her head, and rolled her eyes. Just her luck, she could read her roommates mind.<br/><br/>""I don't think she's odd,""Willow have a bitter laugh, ""Who would to go to a celebration with all the monsters you were told weren't true?"" She asked, to no in particular. ""She may hate people, but I hate monsters.""<br/><br/>Her attention turned to Salazar as he was scribbling in front of him. She hadn't met a seer yet, but from what she heard from a coven she lived with, they were almost never wrong. Again, she entered his mind, before sitting on her bed exhausted from the journey of his thoughts. Shaking her head,, ""so when does this start?""<hr/>Drake chuckled at Beau, ""It would make more sense if I was a Fire breed, unfortunately fellows, I'm an Acid kind of reptile."" He knew what Beau meant nonetheless, and in way he could understand. Fire was a dragons pleasure, no matter the breed.<br/><br/>He watches Flame and the seer walk towards the dorm building with interest. He was handler listening to the two beside him as the entered the building themselves.<br/><br/>""See ya later mates,"" he said distractedly. The numbers were pinned up beside the doors and he walked for awhile before he said 114. ""Can the trip be longer?"" He questioned with a small smile.<br/><br/>Opening the door he say a male look up, ""I'm Damien,"" he said with a smile. At first glance Drake couldn't tell what he was.<br/><br/>""Hey mate. I'm Drakon, but everyone calls me Drake."" He leaned over and tried to shake Damien's hand but watched as his passed through the kids arm.<br/><br/>""Ghost,"" Damien said sheepishly, ""Died about 1998. But I'm just now getting back to school. Sound stupid huh?""<br/><br/>Drake shook his head with a grin. ""Nah, perfectly normal."" He joked.<br/><br/>Because being a Dragon with a Ghost roommate was normal. He shook his head with a small smile before he started unpacking his belongings."
15342,Come Undone,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18497-come-undone,['1x1'],2014-03-13 21:14:00,BeautifulNightmare,"Salazar turned his head in the direction of Willow's voice and nodded. ""Actually, man, or in your case woman, turned vampire are a rare breed. Most don't survive the transition, and those who do normally don't have enough control to not get caught. Those ones are either killed by a coven or their own lack of control. Then there are others who opt out and kill themselves."" He explained, ""I think there is one other like you in the school.""<br/><br/>Ryan could only roll her eyes at Salazar's explanation, but her lips turned into a smirk at Willow's remark. So she hated monsters, huh? Very interesting. Perhaps this one would have some potential. Then again, if she were at all like other vampires... Ryan just knew chaos would ensue. Especially if she was ever off kilter. Ryan personally had no fear of her mind shifting, but she also wasn't stupid. She knew how harsh it could be on her, so remaining in the middle was a must.<br/><br/>She sat on her bed near Salazar and began fiddling with her necklace before she answered Willow. ""Soon, within the hour, they try to wait until the sun is lower for the more... light sensitive crowd."" She answered, carefully thinking through the last part.<br/><br/>Salazar looked in Ryan's direction before looking back towards Willow's. ""You two are odd."" He said before continuing. ""One hates monsters, one hates people.""<br/><br/>Ryan rolled her eyes. ""Well, I am heading out. Better get there before the headmaster comes looking for me. You need me to walk you back to your room, Salazar?"" She asked and he nodded. They both stood, and Ryan turned to Willow before heading out. ""See you later, and just a bit of warning, the incubi will be up your ass. Too pretty to pass up.""<br/><br/>With that Ryan walked out with Salazar, heading towards room 158, his room. Once they were out, Salazar spoke. ""You were oddly civil. Normally you would have at least tried to burn the person alive.""<br/><br/>Ryan shrugged. ""I can relate. Trust me, realizing you are a monster makes you hate things, but she has potential. I can see myself being civil towards her.""<br/><br/>""What if you break? Remember last year when you-"" Salazar began before Ryan cut him off.<br/><br/>""They recovered, but they had it coming."" She said. One psychotic break and Salazar had been trying to pick her brain since, trying to figure out what happened. The girl, a rather stupid elementalist if you were to ask Ryan, had made a remark on the wrong day. Her demonic side forced through, and the girl spent three weeks in the infirmary recovering from her injuries. Once at Salazar's door, Ryan pushed him in. ""You know where to find me.""<br/><br/>He gave a nod, and soon Ryan was heading towards the festivites. Tonight would be eventful, she could already tell.<br/><br/>*~*~*~*~*<br/><br/>Beau and Alex didn't spend much time in their dorm, room number 134, but then again the two had an ongoing wager. Beau hated losing, he has always been rather competitive and giving him a reason to be was a little... well... it was a little stupid at times. Half the time he would stop at nothing to win, but there were times when he could put on the brakes. It was why he had been selected to be the next Alpha of his pack and why he had returned to Purgatory Prep. To learn better control.<br/><br/>""So, what is the lady killer going to do to woo this one?"" Alex asked with a sly grin, but Beau didn't respond. He didn't have a game plan, in fact, he barely knew a thing about the girl he was going to try to woo. He needed to just feel around for now, get his grove going, but for the time being that was all he could do.<br/><br/>""You will see."" He assured him as they began towards the festivites where students were flocking. Most of the girl population was already there. All dressed in ways to grab a man's attention, but most of them left little room for imagination. Those were too easy, Beau knew this from experience, and he also knew that they were desperate.<br/><br/>He continued to scan the crowd, hearing some music playing in the courtyarx. A few were dancing, others just mingling, but then there were those observing and those goofing off. Beau didn't know where to start, but soon a hand came to his shoulder.<br/><br/>""Long time no see.""the red haired girl said, smiling, her bright green eyes alight. Sam, the succubus. ""Miss me?""<br/><br/>""No."" Beau flatly stated, and Alex gave a chuckle as she walked of, a bit mad.<br/><br/>""Work that charm."" He teased, but soon Beau spotted Drake heading their way and waved to him. At least now they could figure something out while Beau tried to get in his zone."

She had met a coven- every second spent with them, she found herself hating what she turned into even more. ""So it's either kill or be killed.."" She said somewhat bitterly.<br/><br/>The coven was so keen on killing innocents. They slaughtered humans for pure joy and believed they were the rulers of the world. Not to mention, they had this insane idea of mating. Those who tried to claim her soon found out she was harder to get than she looked. Her powers were powerful but she didn't know how to control them. Make vampires soon found out just how powerful they were when trying to mate. She didn't mind killing monsters, even if that made her a killer of her kind.<br/><br/>Willow's eyes shifted to Ryan, ""Light Sensitive..."" She laughed, shaking her head. ""You know the old saying, the monsters don't come out until the dark."" Standing up, she smirked slightly at the Seer, knowing he couldn't see her. ""Everyone hates something."" Being in the room with a demon was strange for her- she didn't hate Ryan but she knew exactly what she was.<br/><br/>""See you two there,"" she concluded, choosing to ignore the comment about her looks. Getting use to the dramatic change of her appearance was harder than she thought it would be. She needed more time to herself. When the two left a slow hiss escaped her lips and her shoulders relaxed. Relaxing into her bed she closed her eyes for a second. Being dead, she didn't need sleep or air, but the pretending of doing so made her feel normal.<br/><br/>Her mind wandered, loosing itself in the depths of her memories. She was at peace until one moment she was remembering being bit and the look of evil in the vampires eyes as he drank her blood. An involuntary shriek bubbled in her throat causing her to sit up, shaking her head. ""Pathetic."" She muttered.<br/><br/>Deeming it was time to get going, she stood up, fixing her hair and make up once more. Waking through the crowded hall as every merged out of the dorms made her feel uncomfortable. The red lace sleeves of her dress we stretched as she pulled at them lost in thought.<br/><br/>-)-()-((-)(-(-(--<br/><br/>While unpacking, Damien talked Drake's ear off, which he didn't mind. He was friendly and enjoyed when someone filled the silence. Glancing towards the window he realized that the sky was deeming, meaning the celebration was starting. ""Wanna head out mate?"" He asked, interrupting the ghost.<br/><br/>Damien cocked an eyebrow, ""You want me to come along?"" He asked uncertainly.<br/><br/>""Why wouldn't I?"" The Dragon human asked, before he laughed. ""Come on I have friends you'd find interesting.""<br/><br/>The two ventured out of their room, upholding the conversation. Now Drake could tell Damien was ghost, where he was lively and had color, in bright lighting he seems almost transparent. When the two reached the commons, Drake's attention was caught by Beau and Alex.<br/><br/>He knew they were dying to discuss the bet, one he wasn't really in for. But he'd humor them. It wasn't like Flame would bother with anyone but her Seer friend.<br/><br/>""Boys, meet my roommate, Damien, the friendly ghost."" Drake cracked with a smile, waving towards the ghost.<br/><br/>Damien chuckled, rolling his eyes. ""Like I haven't heard that one.""<br/><br/>Drake shrugged before turning towards the mass of people. ""So, where is Beau's poor target?"" He asked teasingly."

He wanted to make him feel welcomed, despite not normally associating with ghosts. He knew how a ghost could come in handy though, especially since Beau had a knack for trouble. Whether or not he be causing it or getting into it. His anger was his worst enemy in times like that. He soon spoke. ""I don't know, but it doesn't look like Flame is here either, so why don't we go and find a good place to sit and wait.""<br/><br/>Alex nodded a bit. ""So, when is the music going to start. Dancing girls are always fun to watch. Right, Beau?""<br/><br/>Beau gave a devilish smirk. ""They are better to dance with."" He commented. Alex shot him a look before looking towards Damien.<br/><br/>""So, are you going to go on the prowl with us? There are plenty of girls around that are just going to beg for attention, and others who just want to have a good time."" Alex aske. Beau kept his eyes peeled, looking for that blonde amongst the various girls. He could see an elemenatlist and a faerie hitting it off, playing around with the water in a nearby fountain. Next thing he saw was a group of casters, waiting it seemed like. Music was a huge part of this festival because it got everyone moving and out of their cliques.<br/><br/>Beau sat near one of the various bonfire pits, and noticed Alex was off chasing a rather attractive succubus. He rolled his eyes, perhaps he just didn't find them alluring anymore because he had seen one in their true form. It was not pretty, but he finally spotted her, and he got up, looking at Drake.<br/><br/>""Good luck, man. I have a blonde to charm."" He chuckled as he approached the beautiful blonde.<br/><br/>*~*~*~*~*~*<br/><br/>Ryan was dawdling a bit, at least that was what it felt like to her as she walked towards the festivities. She had hung back a while and waited for the crowds to die out before she finally headed that way. She got there, and everyone was branching off, and she could hear the rumble of music begin. Ryan, despite coming off like a hard ass, loved to dance. A smirk came over her face, and she made her way towards the dance floor. Barely anyone was on it, but it was perfectly centered in the commons, and she got out there and started dancing.<br/><br/>She felt some eyes on her, but she didn't care. It got more people out there, and Ryan closed her eyes and lost herself in the beat. She brought her arms up over her head and continued to sway, but hands came to her hips from behind, and she turned to see another demon. His ram horns that were coming from his temples placed him as a cursed demon, but Ryan didn't exactly push away at first, knowing that her angelic half would try to shift for power.<br/><br/>""Back off."" She hissed, a small bit of fire forming and the demon backed up. Ryan had decided she had enough and went to one of the fire pits, igniting it before she sat down and played with the flames. It wasn't long after that Salazar found his way to her, and she turned. He had a symbol for her, but she couldn't believe which one it was.<br/><br/>""Ry, I have a symbol for you."" He said, and she sighed.<br/><br/>""It means demonic angel."" She said, thinking of her own brand. ""You going to stick around?"" She asked him. He nodded and she relaxed a bit before looking out to the crowd.<br/><br/>""Where is Willow?"" He asked.<br/><br/>""Not sure. Don't care really, but I hope she is holding her own."" Ryan commented."

She hated being able to see into others mind, but she loved being able to manipulate people. Compulsion had become her best friend. Shaking her head of those thoughts, she stepped out in the celebration.<br/><br/>Sticking out like a sore thumb, she groaned.<br/><br/>Everyone seemed to know who to hang out with and who to be with. Yet she only knew two people, who she couldn't see.<br/><br/>She moved close to the celebration, observing others. It seemed like fun but she didn't get herself involved as she sat down by a fire.<br/><br/>""Hello good looking!"" One called to her, and her eyes meet him.<br/><br/>""Come here,"" she said, her voice thick as her compulsion worked. He moved to her, his eyes dilated. ""You are going to walk away and never have the urge to speak to me again. You always will treat women with respect."" The command echoed in the boys head and he nodded in a trance, walking away.<br/><br/>Smirking to herself, she liked compulsion. It was the only thing she did though. Running a hand through her hair, she started observing the others dancing and chit chatting.<br/><br/>-(-)(-()-)-((-((-<br/><br/>Damien smirked slightly, shaking his head. As a ghost in the human world, he heard a lot of weird stuff. But he understand that here, bets and games were still a part of living. ""Of course I'm game,"" he said after a moment to Alex.<br/><br/>His eyes scanned the crowd, looking for someone who he found interesting. And he did- a witch would was wearing something skimpy, but was attractive nonetheless. He nodded at the boys before gliding alway.<br/><br/>Drake chuckled and shrugged, he wasn't exactly worried about where she was. His roommate was going to be a good friend, he mused. As they moved to the pit, he began looking around.That was only he watched her move to the dance floor, a brace soul.<br/><br/>All eyes were glued to her as she swayed and danced to the music. For someone so uptight and harsh, she let herself go for a moment. It was an interesting thing to watch. One, where the dragon enjoyed it. But as time went on someone ruined the fun and groped her without permission. A demon male of course. He rolled his eyes, but stood.<br/><br/>She walked near a fire, and from distance, she watched as she played with the flame. He smiled, shaking his head as he approached her. Salazar beat him to it but he continues on.<br/><br/>He didn't want to see pushy, but it was odd, he felt nervous.<br/><br/>""Hello,"" Drake said with a small smile. ""What you do is amazing."" He said referring to her fire playing. ""I'm Drakon."""
15346,Come Undone,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18497-come-undone,['1x1'],2014-03-15 23:59:00,BeautifulNightmare,"Beau couldn't help the chuckle that formed in his throat at the sight he had seen. So the blonde was a<i>vampire</i>. This would make this bet interesting. Despite the main goal of this school being to promote unity and understanding amongst supernatural races, there were still a few fueds that would boil down to race. Vampires and lycanthropes. Angels and demons. Casters and... well, casters had problems with everyone it seemed, though it was more rooted towards demons, vampires, and succubi/incubi.<br/><br/>Still, Beau had known better when he had come to the school than to come unprepared, so he wore a ring made of white gold that held vervain inside to prevent compulsion, at least his mother said it would. He had finally gotten to the bonfire where she was sitting and sat down beaide her, making sure not to be too close though. He knew better than to invade the space of those you were uncertain about, and though he may not have always been the most polite, he knew that you could never underestimate what others were capable of.<br/><br/>Still, he looked towards the girl and gave a charming grin. ""Very nice to see you aren't afrain to defend yourself."" He complimented before offering his hand to her, ""I'm Beau, and I would like to welcome you to Purgatory Prep.""<br/><br/>Most girls.around here knew his game, so perhaps changing it up a bit would be a surprise to all. So he waited for her to shake his hand and introduce herself, and to be honest, he felt like a fool. However, Drake had the one up on him, Flame had been in attendance at the school before, this girl had not. So he needed to figure her out.<br/><br/>*~*~*~*~*<br/><br/>Ryan's mind drifted briefly as the silence fell over her and Salazar. This year did not feel right in the slightest to her, and the fact that Salazar had seen the symbol she had been branded with made her wonder. She was old, so old in fact that she.could recall the beginning of this school and she was only just now attending because up until a.couple of hears ago, her dual personalities had remained dormant. Why they had awoken when they did, she could barely comprehend.<br/><br/>Still, a voice broght her back, and she looked up, allowing herself to stop playing with the fire before she looked to him. He had complimented her, and yet she had known this one wasn't new. ""Thanks."" She said, slowly.<br/><br/>Salazar spoke up, ""Don't mind her. She is rather anti-social.""<br/><br/>Ryan rolled her eyes. ""Yeah."" His name was interesting. A dragon. Oh, this guy was not smart, but then again, she had made a point to hide the fact she was part angel from everyone.<br/><br/>""A dragon, I see."" She began. ""My name is Ryan. What brings you over here?""<br/><br/>Most knew to tread lightly with her, knowing that she could be a straight up bitch if they weren't careful. But this one, he was being polite, and it was odd."

She was only here because the celebration was a must- not here by choice. Being enclosed with such... creatures made her skin crawl. She wasn't one of them, nor would she even act like she was. Her human instincts, though dulled by her predator and animalistic thoughts, were still there. Thinking back to what Salazar said to her in the room, she figured she'd be one of the made that opted themselves out of this miserable life. And she was okay with that.<br/><br/>The spot she chosen, she liked, purely for the fact that she was alone. Until a body sat beside her. One that flamed her nostrils with a smell she wasn't familiar with. Then she remembered what it was- something she was told to stay away from while staying with coven. He was a trapped but his wolf, something she could relate to. But knowing this school, she was sure that he enjoyed it.<br/><br/>Her blue eyes turned to his, with an expressionless face. Beau, she thought. From the looks she was getting, she figured he was a wanted man on campus. ""I've got to do something to ward off the creepy guys."" She stated, before looking at his hand and bluntly ignoring it. Not to be rude, well maybe a little, but honestly in the pure fact that she didn't know him.<br/><br/>""Willow."" Was all she introduced herself as. She stood from the fire site, fixing her dress as it hiked up while she was seated. Beau was attractive, she wasn't going to deny it. He has strong facial features and was built in the right places, but it still didn't ease the fact that he was a creature.<br/><br/>""If you don't mind me, I'm going to dance."" She said, looking at him for a moment, before turning towards the floor. The crowd made her slightly uneasy with her senses heightened. But you continued until she found a spot she was comfortable in, and began dancing.<hr/>Drake chuckled at Salazar, ""Good to know mate."" Before seating himself at a respectful distance. He didn't want to make anyone comfortable. Smiling he watched the demon girl finish with the flames and held his hands up. Don't stop on my account, it's interesting to watch.""<br/><br/>He nodded when she figured he was a dragon. It wasn't hard, his name, after all literally meant dragon. Plus, being the only dragon at the school, most knew of him. But he didn't mind, he was the first dragon a lot of people have seen, so he was use to the questions.<br/><br/>""Well Ryan,"" he said politely, ""I figured anyone who could threaten others with a flick of her head, yet starts the celebration dancing like that, isn't as anti-social as it seems.""<br/><br/>He began looking around, the area she choose over looked everything. So she liked watching, he thought to himself. His eyes wondered to a blonde leaving Beau, and he couldn't help the small small before moving on with scenery."
15348,Come Undone,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18497-come-undone,['1x1'],2014-03-17 00:47:00,BeautifulNightmare,"Beau got a name. Willow was her name, and though she didn't accept his outstretched hand, he managed togather a general idea of her already. She wasn't very sociable, or at least she wasn't being that way now, and she didn't enjoy unwanted attention. She would be a challenge, but a chase would be good for Beau, considering the fact he hadn't had the opportunity to do so in a while. His last year away from the school had been spent being evaluated, along with the other ""pups"" of the pack. He had been chosen to be the next Alpha, and his brother, Xavier, hated it.<br/><br/>And speaking of the devil, Beau watched as his older brother walked to the dancefloor with a faerie girl in a skimpy dress. If you thought sex appeal was bad in the human world, imagine with supernatural creatures that had senses that were practically on crack. This welcoming ceremony almost always turned into a night of one night stands and regrets, but the staff never did anything to stop it. They always made sure no one died, but a sex fueled bender was going to ensue.<br/><br/>Beau stood and made his way out to the dancefloor, keeping a careful eye on Willow, as if a mother bear watching her cub. A bad analogy, I know, but he had to protect her, and make sure he was the only one who was going to get his foot in door. He was glad that the music was easy to move to, and soon he bumped into a girl, and it just so happened to be the girl Alex was dancing with. He gave his friend a smirk before Beau moved more towards a crowd, but soon the song switched to a slower beat.<br/><br/>He walked over to Willow, who was barely two yards away, and gave a charming smile. ""Care to dance? You may not like me, but dancing alone to a slow song is a bit silly."" He said to her, offering her his hand. He knew it was a stretch, but he was going to try anyway.<br/><br/>*~*~*~*~*<br/><br/>Ryan looked over to Drakon as he observed her area. By nature, her angelic half loved to observe, but it was something she couldn't help. She liked to observe. It didn't give much insight as to who she was, but as she watched the dancefloor, she smirked to herself. She has essentially started that.<br/><br/>Ryan turned to Drake, ""Quiet the contrary."" She pointed out. ""Get all eyes on you to hide in plain sight. Demons have been practicing that for years."" She said to him, and Salazar piped up again.<br/><br/>""But Ryan is a very different demon, if you haven't noticed. Like, she hates everything pretty much, and most demons thrive on deceiving the world into liking them."" He explained, and Ryan looked away.<br/><br/>She looked to Drake when the song changed. ""Wanna dance?"" She asked him as she stood up. Salazar.looked directly at her, seeing her aura burning bright. She was different, but he watched as she began walking towards the dancefloor.<br/><br/>Salazar looked towards Drake, and spoke. ""Be careful. She isn't stable, not like she wants people to believe she is."" He warned before getting up and navigating towards his dorm."

For once she let go, letting her mind at ease. It was a constant battle, predator thoughts fighting against what was left of humanistic side. It also didn't help that though she was powerful, she was still a newborn, and everything was so vivid to her. The thoughts always crammed into herself merely just walking beside something thinking or using compulsion to get her way, left her with emptiness towards the end of the day. But now, while moving to the best, she forgot.<br/><br/>One of her more pronounced memories from her human life included her brother. She was twin, and though opposite genders, they had similar characteristics. They were running around, him pretending to be a monster and her a victim. She squealed and cried in excitement of the game, but when her brother finally caught her, he leaned down to tell her, ""I'll never let the monsters get to you"".<br/><br/>But they did, and they turned her into one.<br/><br/>Immediately as the thought crossed her mind, she paused in her movements. If her heart was working, the best would be spastic with pain, she was sure. Her eyes scanned the crowd. The sexual tension was heavy, and it made her want to gag at the different creatures luring others into their traps. But when she heard a voice, she turned.<br/><br/>It was Beau, and she rolled her eyes at his gesture. ""Don't you give up?"" She asked, her eyebrow raising, not caring for an answer. Her eyes studied his face then his hand while she was in thought. She wasn't exactly sure what made her place her hand in his, but she did, moving slightly closer to him for the song. ""One."" She agreed as she started moving to the song.<br/><br/>-(-)(-(-(-)-(-(-)-<br/><br/>Drake nodding slowly, absorbing the information about demons tactics. ""In plain sight,"" he mused, chuckling slightly, ""I suppose most of us do that. Contort ourselves to fit an image of normalcy."" He stated. He hardly even thought about it that way, but now that he did, realized that it was a way of life for them. Hiding in sight.<br/><br/>His attention didn't turn from Ryan, even as the Seer spoke. His eyes just stayed on her, watching her. She was an interesting person, one that he never thought of before, but she certainly spiked his curiosity. ""She most certainly is different mate."" He commented with a small grin.<br/><br/>""A dance with a pretty girl?"" He said rather than questioned, ""Who could pass the offer up."" Standing up, he stretched, his back popping. The only downfall of shifting shapes was he at times didn't know how to handle the differences between his human and dragon joints. His eyes followed Ryan as he continued on without even looking back.<br/><br/>Like she knew he'd be on her heels.<br/><br/>Drake smiled to himself and glanced at Salazar this time, as he spoke. He knew the seer meant well and he took the advice. ""I'm always careful, especially while playing with flames."" He said somewhat jokingly before jogging after the auburn girl."
15350,Come Undone,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18497-come-undone,['1x1'],2014-03-18 13:18:00,BeautifulNightmare,"And there it was. A yes. Willow had no idea what she had just done for his ego, but he didn't think of his pride when she took his hand. He just gave a smile and placed his hands at her waist. ""Giving up isn't in my nature."" He commented, and he looked at her eyes, resisting the urge to look into them the way that he had with dozens of others. Willow was definitely not going to fall for it, but her eyes were so bright and stunning he couldn't help it. His hands didn't even rry to move from her waist because he was just so enthralled by the light in her eyes.<br/><br/>She was beautiful, like all vampires, but her eyes retained something he had never seen. Humanity. Around the school, very few races held any form of humanity. Lycanthropes did because they were shifters essentially, and the elementalists did. Other races that did were so few that he wasn't sure about. Like angels, but no angel had ever attended the school, not unless they were fallen angels, and they were a demented sort. And almost no one saw them.<br/><br/>He snapped himself from his thoughts, realizing that he had been staring into her deep sapphire eyes. ""Sorry,"" he found himself apologizing. ""Your eyes are just... they're very different.""<br/><br/>Beau was suddenly feeling something he hadn't felt in a long time. Nervousness. Shit... and he was trying his hardest to remain cool, but at the same time it was difficult. He wasn't blessed like his father with a mind that had been pierced so much he found a way to fend off mind reading. And he wasn't like his brother who could tell. He was just a strong leader with a silver tongue, and he was a strategy oriented person. It was why he was chosen to be Alpha.<br/><br/>He gave a disarming smile, trying to get his nerves to calm. ""So, where are you from?""<br/><br/>*~*~*~*~*~*<br/><br/>Ryan sighed, and she turned to Drake, and she placed his hands on her waist and began swaying to the beat with him. ""Don't mind Sal, he sometimes forgets that people are capable of forming opinions on their own. He's one of the most brilliant minds I have ever met, but he is stupid at the same time. He's like my brother, so I protect him.""<br/><br/>Why she was explaining this to him, she had no clue, but she felt the need to, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Willow dancing with Beau. Wow. This was just begging for disaster. Ryan looked back to Drake, he once sapphire eyes returning to their normal cool shade of ice blue-grey. It was normal for her eyes to change colors, and she was glad that Salazar was blind and couldn't catch on to why. He had commented on her aura more than once, but he wrote it off because she was an elemental demon.<br/><br/>The song had a good beat, and when she saw the demon from earlier, she brought herself closer to Drake, not something she would have normally done, but with her mind so ready to shift and it being a demon, she had to keep herself preoccupied. Then she realized, for a dragon, Drake didn't have the fire smell to him. It was different. ""So, dragon, huh? What kind, because you certainly aren't a fire one. Normally I can smell it a mile away, but you don't have that scent.""<br/><br/>Being so in tune with an element, especially fire, Ryan was able to guess the elements of other creatures who fell into elemental typing. It was odd. But a voice came. ""So, a demon will give a dragon a chance, but not another demon? That is odd.""<br/><br/>It was the demon boy from earlier, and Ryan didn't bother with him. Until he touched her shoulder where her brand was, and she sent a surge of fire behind her, and he backed off. Still, she could feel him there and smiled to Drake. It was a sight that went rather unseen, and the song came to an end. ""Well, it was nice dancing with you, but if you'll excuse me, I am needed elsewhere.""<br/><br/>She walked off, heading back towards her spot and she began playing with the flames again, making them burn brighter."

Jamming the stick down and throttling up he roared up into place alongside his flight leader, they were headed out to meet the mysterious incoming objects. Flipping the toggle for his HUD to ramp up he heard the high pitched whine of targeting computer kick on.<br/><br/>Glancing at the HUD his mouth dropped as the six-large objects began disgorging dozens of smaller blips on the screen. Hearing the static crackle of the flight leader echo across the headsets, “Alright boys and girls we have bandits incoming! We have fast movers, stay frosty!” With that everyone shut down all non-essential communications as they barreled towards the Angar-Ryllan fighters. In a matter of seconds, Jack was in the proverbial shit. He banked his fighter into a twisting dive, following his flight lead as they tore through a horde of boomerang shaped dull black fighters. All around him flashes of high intensity lasers light up the sky like lances of days of yore as both sides began in earnest their deadly dance in the high orbit above Darashal.<br/><br/>Racing through a stream of heavy laser fire, Jack saw ahead of him several of the black Angar-Ryllan fighters bank and turn towards him, as he did so his flight leader opened up with his own turbo lasers, firing a series of intense amber energy towards the turning fighters. Following his leader Jack checked his six and was a little miffed to see a bandit was closing in them. Throttling back he turned inside the bandit and flipped up and over so the Angar-Ryllan was now between he and his flight lead. Accelerating forward he raced after the black ship as it tried to kill his lead.<br/><br/>Dropping the hammer he felt the surge of power ripple through the fighter as he closed the distance, all the while his computer started lining it up for a kill, once the lock on triggered, Jack throttled his mic, “Tally ho!” he said as he unleashed a nuclear tipped missile. Pulling up and away as the projectile raced towards the ship, he managed to catch a glimpse of his lead getting hammered by the ship just before it exploded in a fiery ball of debris then suddenly flaming out.<br/><br/>A sickening feeling came over Jack as he whipped his fighter around, accelerating it through a series of harsh Snap-S turns trying to gain some distance from the fight. Roaring on after burners the sleek single engine fighter skittered and darted until it was nearly two-thousand miles from the battle.<br/><br/>Lazily pulling up and turning his fighter back towards the fight, he just gaped. Brilliant flashes of light followed by sudden and bursts of energy before they faded to nothing. Jack licked his lips as he began to easy the throttle forward heading back into the fight. Had he looked behind him he would have seen one of the large disk shaped Angur-Ryllan assault ships entering the atmosphere of Darashal.<br/><br/>The large assault ship roared through the atmosphere creating a series of sonic booms and a massive contrail as it dipped from frigid space to the much warmer upper-atmosphere then raced downward until it created a billowing roiling cloud as it headed towards one of the small settlements."

To them their daughter was growing up, but Sarah woke early so she could head down to the little creek that ran through the farm. She had seen some of the local fauna there before, the large eyed and slender-limbed deer that populated the area. She had seen a doe and several fawn and wanted to see them again.<br/><br/>Making her way gingerly down towards the creek in the early morning fog she was eager to get there in case the deer left. The sky was usually vivid this morning the petite ten-year old thought as she paused to catch her breath.<br/><br/>Dazzling streaks of light seemed to appear and vanish in the darker parts of the sky. Maybe it would rain the little girl thought as she inhaled the chilly air and continued her walk. A boom in the air made her pause, looking up she saw one of the fighters that were kept in space station roar overhead, following close behind it were several odd looking black wing like things. They looked like they were playing tag as the silver fighter thundered towards the far mountains, the others close behind it.<br/><br/>Shaking her head the little girl turned towards the small creek when she saw them. Tall, armored warriors with glowing swords and lances. Large black eye sheilds stared at her as the closest one peered down at her. What looked like plasma staff held in its large hands.<br/><br/>Before Sarah could scream she heard a shot followed by another and another as her father unloaded his rifle at the Angur-Ryllan warriors. The one who was reaching for her was hit twice and stumbled, falling to the ground. The others began returning fire, heavy lasers rippled through the air, slamming into the pudgy farmer, shredding the flesh from his bones. His scream echoing through the small valley, followed by his wife's cries.<br/><br/>Sarah just stared at the dying Angur-Ryllan before her, her mind numb to all else as she watched a series of colors flash and twinkle under the skin of the creature. Slowly reaching out she touched the slick, clammy skin and shuddered. Withdrawing her hand, she gasps as the body stopped moving and the large eyes focused on her, dimming slowly, the flashing lights under the skin fading to nothingness. Looking up Sarah saw another silver fighter and another as they raced towards something on the other side of the valley.<br/><br/>Standing slowly the little girl looked around, as an explosion rocked the area, kicking up dirt and debris high into the air. More of the strange creatures marched past her, they seemed focused on the small village that lay to the north of the farm. Not seeing her father or mother a stream of tears began as the little girl felt for the first time truly alone on this world."

An eerie voice echoed around the bridge as Kuzar spoke, “I see...very well captain we shall respond to the call by the Darashallans. Flash transmit a message to the Galactic Congress explaining the situation.”<br/><br/>With that Kuzar whirled and moved with deadly grace towards her room. Captain Hussar cleared her throat a moment before speaking, “My Lord? What are you going to do?” Pausing a moment the brilliant white energies flared illuminating the bridge, “I am going to Darashal and see what is happening.” Pursing her lips, Captain Hussar, nodded slowly as she turned towards the command boards, the ability of the Psychics to travel mentally through unnerved her.<br/><br/>In her chambers, Lord-Captain Kuzar allowed her mental energies to expand, swirling around her a chaotic whirl of flashing colors before finding the vibrational patterns that would lead to Darashal. Allowing the patterns wash over her, she stepped forward and began her mental journey towards the beleaguered planet. It would take her mere minutes to reach the world nearly 3 light years away, and take the warship about an hour to reach the world using the fold space technology it used.<br/><br/>As the Lord-Captain arrived on the world, a series of explosions rocked the landscape as silver fighters streaked across the skies chasing or being chased by dull black shapes. Allowing the mental energies to flow from her, slowly enveloping everything for miles around her, during the process of acquiring understanding she felt energy signatures that seemed to blunt and turn away her ability to perceive them clearly.<br/><br/>A low growl rumbled from the silver-white form as she turned towards the largest concentration of this disruptive energies. The scream of fighters, followed by a massive air burst caused him to look skyward, doing so the Lord-Captain witnessed another of the large assault ships descend from the upper atmosphere, dozens of fighter craft disgorging themselves in a flurry of activity into the hazy morning. It was movement that drew her attention as several creatures began moving towards a small farm where a girl stood between them and the home. A second later shots rang out as a Darashallan male with a firearm began firing at the entities.<br/><br/>Dimming her energy in order to block the last moments of the man’s life as heavy kinetic projectiles riddled his body, the impacts shredding the soft flesh in a hail of arterial spray.<br/><br/>The Darashal child, for that is what she was, seemed shocked, her hand extending towards the dying thing before her. As she watched Lord-Captain Kuzar felt a presence behind her, drawing and ethereal sword and whirling in a deadly display of martial prowess the Lord-Captain slashed at the large Angar-Ryllan warrior that was closing in on her.<br/><br/>However, the others began firing their weapons at the shimmering form some of the heavy slugs slammed home knocking the glowing form being back into the trees. The explosive power would have shattered bones and most likely killed her had she been physical; however, the psychic energies flowed and swirled around her. As she slammed into the ground, she allowed herself to be draw into the ethereal spaces between worlds and dragged back to the warship.<br/><br/>In her darkened chambers the Lord-Captain fell into her regeneration chamber, the energies dimming in her eyes. She had made a mistake and assumed she would be able to withstand the impacts of the Angar-Ryllan weaponry. Normally had she prepared mental defenses properly she may have but she didn't and now would be out of commission for several hours as her body healed itself. Before slipping into the embrace of sleep,she felt the engines of the warship boost the cruiser into the folded space, moving towards the Darshal world at incredible speeds."

Kicking in the heavy maneuvering engines the cruiser began to skitter in a maneuver to kick the stern around so that the massive guns would be able to fire broadside if needed. An automatic message was sent to the orbital space station- “Darashal System. This is Talisan Cruiser Voided Lights. We are responding to your distress call. We are assessing the situation and will provide what assistance we can.”<br/><br/>Captain Hussar eyed the screens before she inhaled deeply, “Send word to COMAHFLT, we have a situation here, a very bad situation.” The junior officer next to her nodded and scrambled down to communications where a pulse broadcast was sent to the closest Talisan Naval base with the following.<br/><br/>To:COMAHFLT<br/>From: HMS-Voided Lights CAG-21<br/>Reference- Map-Series Special- DA 1:50,000.<br/>Time: Local Alpha- 0023:444<br/><br/>OppFor elements at Darashal-Open hostilities. Elements of the HPDF are engaged with OppFor. Large concentration of fast-movers near HPDF. It is estimated that HPDF will have less than 4 hours survivability. CoD-223 attached to CAG-21, further cross-attachement to T/F BB-54/CVN-98.<br/><br/>CAG-21 will move to defend Darashal in OPD Lagrange 1-311200A and OPD Lagrange 2-9984064 to destroy one OppFor at that station.<br/><br/>CAG-21 defends in detail Darashal- CAG-21 will deploy CoD-223 and VF-28 to intercept fast-movers and provide PDF.<br/><br/>CAG-21 End. Alpha-0023:445<br/><br/>The command at Al-Hazred forwarded the information to T/F BB-54/CVN-98. The Talisan Battleship Fading Glory and the Assault Carrier Tempest and their accompanying support ships 20 L.Y away from Al-Hazred and nearly 100 L.Y out of the Darashal system.<br/><br/>The defensive forces on Al-Hazred were alerted, while the information was forwarded to the President and his council as well as the psychic impressions recorded by the Lord-Captain were accessed to glean further insight on the Angar-Ryllan forces.<br/><br/>While the transmission is being sent, the large ship began moving forward towards the planet's Lagrange point, the whole while the battery of defense weapons began ripping apart dozens of incoming fighters from the Angar-Ryllans. Still a beam of the large Angar-Ryllan assault ship the massive Xi-particle boson accelerator long range assault cannons of the cruiser opened up, sending massive energy bursts towards the disc shaped ship that hung in a geosynchronous orbit over the planet.<br/><br/>The brilliant display of energies as the weapons fired filled the skies above the planet with intense lights as the radiations illuminated particles that were traveling through space. Even the ground troops of both sides paused as the brilliant streaks glowed bright enough to compete with the planets own star.<br/><br/>Aboard the warship, the flight crews of the fighters and the unmanned fighter/bombers were busy finishing equipping and fueling them. As the first pilots climbed into the cockpits, the entire ship shuddered a moment as the main guns fired. A cheer raced through the flight deck, before they returned to the business of prepping the fighters. A moment later, the first flight launched, to be followed the rest at intervals of every 5 minutes.<br/><br/>It was as the energy weapons of the Talisan Cruiser slammed into the defensive shields of the Angur-Ryllan warship, creating a stunning display of crackling and fragmenting energies spheres. A series of blips appeared on the Talisan scanners. A long-range sweep displayed a number of Patronius warships, this was confirmed a moment later as the following message was picked up:<br/><br/>Darshal Colony, this is Patronius Task Force 112/424D responding to an emergency communication sent out by one of our freighters...<br/>We are in-system and twelve minutes out...<br/>We will render what aid we can...<br/>Requesting orders...<br/><br/>Jabbing down a override communication button, Captain Hussar spoke swiftly, “Patronius TF 112/424D, this is Cruiser Voided Lights, CAG-21. We are engaged with the OPPFOR and request that you establish evacuation routes starting from our position outward. Out.”<br/><br/>As Captain Hussar finished she saw the first flight of her own fighters enter the fray around the Darashal orbital station. It was going to be a long day."

As the glistening flesh reflected the dull lights, the being wiped water off the sleek limbs. Turning large black eyes towards the smaller Angar-Ryllan that waited patiently, High Cleric Landars dressed slowly, as he did so he nodded for the smaller being to speak. “We have found another system with life and possible; clues about the Nexus of Worlds that can benefit the Angar-Ryllan.” The being spoke rapidly to the larger being, who nodded as the ornate robes shifted and draped over his form.<br/><br/>Glancing at the smaller knight, the High Cleric said, “Has the General been informed of this?” The smaller being nodded then after a moment hissed before speaking, “Our sister ship has encountered life forms willing to fight. It seems that they found a small system of bi-pedal hominids. When our brothers attacked, other fleets of ships appeared to defend the planet.”<br/><br/>The High Cleric pondered this as he moved with an elegant grace towards the lifts that would lead to the command center of the vast world destroying ship. “Do we need to assist them then?” He queried. The cleric shook his head, “No, the Lord Abbot merely said it was a delay to the search, nothing more.”<br/><br/>Stepping on the vast command deck, the High Cleric peered at the captain of his own assault ship and spoke to him softly, “This system. Tell me of its potential.” Rising from her chair the captain bowed slightly as she pointed towards the massive screens, “This system has life and the possible clues we require. It appears easily conquerable, however we have noted an oddity that seems to surround the system.”<br/><br/>Gliding towards a smaller screen, the captain tapped it and the exploded out a multidimensional map display. “They have this...cloud. It seems to be inherent to the system itself but we are having trouble isolating and identifying the exact nature of it.”<br/><br/>The High Cleric peered close to the screen allowing the data to scroll as he took it in, after a long moment he nodded saying, “Send a single destroyer, if makes it with little effect we shall proceed.”<br/><br/>The captain nodded and began a series of orders to several officers on the command deck, who promptly began their own order chain until on one of the destroyers that sailed ahead and below the flagship raced ahead.<br/><br/>On the command deck, the High Cleric moved to his large chair and sat down slowly, as he did so, a thought edged at his consciousness. With a growl he spat, “Psychics!”<br/><br/>Aboard the Voided Lights, the combat information center crew began relaying the positions of the Patronius ships and their distances to the central combat computer in order to plot new firing positions. Captain Hussar narrowed her eyes a moment then exhaled slowly, “Plans go to hell once the enemy is encountered.” she muttered to no one in particular as she felt the ship shudder again as the massive main guns unloaded their deadly bursts towards the Angar-Ryllan warship closest to them.<br/><br/>It was almost exactly at that moment that hundreds of screens began to relay information that required the crew to check the data before a sudden chill passed through many of them. The officer in the CIC depressed the comm, leaving it hanging a moment before he spoke, “Captain? We have some off the chart readings...We have the same readings, it seems as if cosmic energies are being unleashed in large amounts.” The words caused Captain Hussar to pause, a sickening feeling in her stomach as she moved to look at a screen to read the date herself.<br/><br/>“CIC, get me telemetry data on the source of that energy build up and I want it yesterday.” she murmured as she began sliding screens until the latest information came up. Toggling the hailing frequencies she spoke in a low tone, “Patronius TF 112/424D, this is Talisan Cruiser Voided Lights. We are picking up massive energy build-up from a source that is located near the fifth planet in this system, near one of the moons. Our scanners are detecting a massive heavy metal body as the source of the build-up, can you confirm? Over, out.”"

In lower orbit around Darashal LeeRoy's Space Grazer was brought out of absolute thin air with the engines as cold as space. The scientist frantically went through every single motion of getting his ship started up, ""Come on you old hunk of space junk, work!"" That unpleasantly gritty voice of his was already wearing on his nerves, having to listen to himself talk was one of the highlights of his focus. And now this voice? Jesus, this is going to suck. It's already breaking his concentration because he's standing here thinking about it, why? ""Oh! Right, ship!""<br/><br/>'Don't lose focus, and try not to gargle marbles dude.'<br/><br/>""Shut up! This is not funny!"" Apparently it was to his patron god, but to LeeRoy and Voidman this was quite serious. Another bodily destruction in immediate succession? That would mean another segment of his god showing up with an overblown musical fanfare. And that wouldn't be any good, LeeRoy tried to level out but the ship just wasn't starting. And the entire thing was literally clicking like a fucking Geiger counter, no wait, that was an actual Geiger counter. Right, the ship was bathed in radiation, is he going to get cancer? Probably.<br/><br/>LeeRoy tugged on the wheel and demanded that the ship leveled out, but it just wasn't cooperating. LeeRoy was absolutely going to crash!"
15411,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-09 04:20:00,TheBiddz,"“What in the world is going on?” Maxwell thought to himself, just a hint of grump in that thought. “When I signed up for this, I didn't really plan on having something like this happen to me.” He looks around, his eyes squinty, brow furrowed as he stares at his current surroundings. Maxwell is currently inside the portal. Now, Maxwell is just as tough as the, no. Wait, that's a load of shit. Maxwell is FAR tougher than any normal human being, he's tougher than any SUPER human being too. But still, being surrounded by a swirling vortex of gold, purple, and black energies is just *slightly* offputting, even for him. Should he touch it? Probably not. There are two possibilities. One: He absorbs the power of the Nexus and becomes a god. No more of this worshiping stuff that he has to go through (Not that he really minds). Two: The energy rips him apart molecule by molecule, leading to an indescribably painful death. Now, Maxwell admittedly isn't the smartest guy, but he's not dumb either by any means, and he has enough experience to know that touching it is probably a terrible idea. For now, he just holds himself stiff as a board, trying to stay away from the energy that seems to be creeping closer and closer. ""I hope this doesn't spit me out anywhere that's a pain in the ass.""<br/><br/>Well Maxwell, sorry, but you did not get your wish. As he nears the end of the portal, a high pitch noise begins to ring in his ears. ""Whreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"" Oh joy. ""Stop that portal. I would absolutely punch you in the face, but I think that would kill me. I'm not going out that early."" The portal quickly contracts, squeezing around his waist. ""Wait what the hell, I was kidding! Let me go!"" The portal squeezes tighter, then draws back, shooting Maxwell out of it like a freshly uncorked bottle of wine, complete with a *POP*.<br/><br/>""Well its nice to be out of-"" Maxwell stops talking as he notices all of the blue around him, complete with a tinge of fluffy white. ""Are those clouds? Yay."" Maxwell's face goes completely stale, a look of complete seriousness upon it as his body snaps to rigid hardness as he begins to hurtle to the ground. Light as a feather, stiff as a board Maxwell, you know how this goes. It isn't the first time you've had to deal with horrible falls. He begins to fall faster and faster, approaching speeds that no human should hit just from falling. Then, all of a sudden, BOOM. He slams back first into something hard. And metally. Also very hard.<br/><br/>Sitting in his two foot dent, Maxwell groans. ""Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhng. That hurt."" Maxwell is a tough dude, but even he's allowed to groan after slamming into a metallic object at 160 mph. It turns out this object was LeeRoy's ship, and Maxwell landed square on the back of it, with all his weight and speed. This undoubtedly actually helped to level the ship and perhaps stop it from crashing."
15412,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-10 07:02:00,LeeRoy,"In a feverish panic LeeRoy accidentally broke one of the levers on the main console, trying to forcefully pull his ship up so he wouldn't just nosedive into the dirt. It was damn near a certainty that he was going to crash, but then something parallel to a godsend happened. The entire back half of his ship dropped like a brick, faster than the front half. The sudden slam of weight to the back sent the ship careening through the air, like a dropped piece of wood LeeRoy's ship started upending and correcting itself repeatedly. A spiral of excruciating discomfort as LeeRoy was in a gravitational environment, as the ship spun through the air LeeRoy was thrown about inside of a metal coffin in the sky. ""Today is the worst day that I've had in a very long time.""<br/><br/>'We're flipping around! We're gonna die!' Forgetting that she's already dead the Voidman panicked and forgot entirely that LeeRoy can't die. Perhaps being flipped through the air distorts one's judgement.<br/><br/>While being tossed around the ship, slamming into walls and chairs and computer screens LeeRoy was speaking silently and deliberately. Trying to use his old level tone but with the new gritty voice. ""That's unlikely. But I'll be honest, my body is not ready for this. I was literally just reborn from a pile of my own gore."" His calmness in a shitstorm was cut short, however, as he slammed facefirst into the roof of his ship. The hull screamed with the sudden impact onto what seemed to be a soft surface, the glass viewscreen shattered and the front of his ship filled with sand. LeeRoy rose to his feet, blood trickling from his mouth and nose. Glass sticking out of his eyebrows from his broken glasses. ""Ow.""<br/><br/>'That's it? Ow? That's all you have to say about this?'<br/><br/>""It's not the first crash that we've survived, won't be the last.""<br/><br/>'What the hell hit us?'<br/><br/>""Probably something Angar-Ryllan, a bomb or something they planted on our ship.""<br/><br/>'That felt more like a sudden jarring impact.'<br/><br/>""You feel this stuff?""<br/><br/>'Only the movement.'<br/><br/>""Why do you keep withholding information from me?"" Leaning up against the wall to steady himself he wandered over to his helmet. Now full of sand from top to bottom. ""Great, it'll still work for protection or something."" With one hand he shook the sand out and reattached it to his suit. Lucky the visor was still intact, it would provide some protection. The scientist walked out of his ship and into the sandy terrain, in every direction he looked he saw rocks and sand. ""Great.""<br/><br/>'What?'<br/><br/>""You know where we are? You want to know what terrain we are on?""<br/><br/>'Yes! What's wrong!?'<br/><br/>""This is a god damned desert!"" In one foul swoop his day went from worst in his life, to worst in the fucking multiverse. Died, brought back, had to feel growing back, lost his own voice, was teleported to a new planet, and then fucking crashed. Not just any crash! A crash in a desert! Not a desert planet! No, the ONE desert at the equator! The one desert! ""I hate you!"" LeeRoy screamed to the sky, kicking sand every which way as he walked away from his crashed ship. ""God dammit!""<br/><br/>'Calm down!'<br/><br/>""No you calm down! I'm probably gonna have to repair my ship with shit from the desert! I'm not gonna walk! I'm gonna wait right here, because this is bullshit!"" LeeRoy was screaming at the voice in his head, audibly furious at this desert. Oh, right, did I fail to mention? His ship is half buried and upside down in the sand!"

Okay, so now the entire ship has started to spin tremendously, which would probably give him a headache if he didnt have the constitutional fortitude of adamantium. Honestly though, it's probably a good thing he's crammed so far down into the hull, otherwise he would be unceremoniously ejected out of his little hole, right back into the air. And from this high up, it would do a lot more than just hurt. He might even break his leg or something, and that would be unfortunate! So for now, he really has nothing better to do than close his eyes and brace for impact. ""This day is already not going in my favor.""<br/><br/>I mean really, as long as the ship doesn't land backside down everything will be fi-THUMP.<br/><br/>""MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPNG."" Maxwell lets out a muffled cry of pain behind his mask. He just slammed into sand at 150 mph, which wouldn't have hurt him that much, to be honest. It's the 78 ton ship that just LANDED ON HIM. Right on his back. Not only was he just Meteor Crashed into the desert sand, the force of the ship landing on him ejected him about 70 feet into the sand, absolutely burying him under a massive amount of bullshit, and he only kept sinking further. Most of the time, Maxwell never lets any sort of painful utterance out, but his body decided to make an exception after what just happened.<br/><br/>Maxwell takes a second to pat himself down and do a runcheck of the damage. Armor's horribly dented, some parts of it crumpled up against his body, some of them bulging out, there's a hole in his left leg piece. Bones seem to be okay though. Nothing's broken, but everything is sore. Absolutely incredibly sore. And angry. Maxwell reaches up and removes his angry mask, revealing an even angrier face underneath. ""I. Hate. Sand."" He begins to mutter as he wiggles around to face up. ""Sand. Gets. In. Everything."" His gauntlets begin to light up and glow with the Holy Fire. ""Takes. Forever to get out."" The heat from the Fire begins to glass the sand around him as he pulls himself through the sand at a pretty marvelous pace. Once he stops, the gloves turn off.<br/><br/>Now, with a face and armor full of sand, Maxwell positions himself underneath the hole he made in the ship, now facing up. ""Piece of shit ship."" He punches it, HARD. The ship creaks, moving up about a foot. ""Dropping me in sand."" He punches again, this time with his right arm, trying to put his body into it the best he can in the bad sand conditions. About two or three feet this time. ""Just fucking MOVE!"" He roars, punching the ship with both arms at full strength, the veins in his arms rippling out, a vein bulging in his forehead. Normally,he'd be able to lift and toss something like this out of the way no problem. The sand makes it so the best punch he can deliver is a straight arm punch. Not particularly good, probably only about 30 percent normal force. But for Maxwell, even thirty percent is still huge. Huge enough in fact, to blow the ship out of the sand, busting a hole through the bottom and sending it spiraling through the air, flipping over and over. Maxwell is not happy. He crawls to where the ship was, standing on the bottom of the crater."
15414,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-11 03:53:00,LeeRoy,"Though LeeRoy's ship was hot on his mind the entire time he was forgetting one crucial detail, a detail that was incredibly important. What hit his ship? The voidman tried to speak over the shouting and ranting, LeeRoy was currently inconsoleable, until the sound of metal creaking touched his ears. LeeRoy went silent, as did the voidman. Again, the sound was certainly there. Was his ship making noises? Was his ship going to explode? That would be a nightmare. Then he'd be forced to walk through the damned desert.<br/><br/>Let me explain why LeeRoy's incredibly opposed to the desert.<br/><br/>It's useless.<br/><br/>The desert serves one purpose, to provide certain minerals at certain times in the year, to certain parts of the world, when a certain trade wind blows over. Otherwise, ninety-nine percent of the time, it's a literal death trap. Anything that is in the desert is totally worthless, no matter what 'gems' or 'resources' they find out there. It's not worth it, you are GOING to die, that's just how deserts work. They don't have food, water, and they're incredibly hot. Some contest that cacti and desert animals could be used to make a proper life out in the desert. Those people are dumb. LeeRoy fucking hates the desert.<br/><br/>But then the creaking noise a third and final time, and then his ship was sent flying. Not taking off, more like it was thrown. By something. ""What."" That wasn't a question, it was simply a statement of the word.<br/><br/>'What?' That was actually a question, the Voidman doesn't know what to expect.<br/><br/>""Was- Was that my ship? Why did my ship get sent flying?"" He spoke aloud as he watched his ship do several flips before landing rightside up in the sand, sinking in once again. LeeRoy wandered over to the hole that had formed where his ship was and looked inside. There was a man. A man who should have been dead, but was not. And not only should he not be alive, he just threw LeeRoy's ship. ""What."" It wasn't just any man, no, this man was clad from head to heel in armor. Big obtrusively bright armor, like something ripped out of a cheesy RPG. And more importantly he was god damned huge! Why was this guy so big!? He's like nine or ten feet tall! What is wrong with this universe. ""What!?"""

Don't have a hundred tons of bullshit sitting on my back. No sand in my face. Love it."" He takes a deep breath and stretches, trying to loosen some of his muscles so that bruises he gets later won't be the size of melons, his muscles sounding like tanned leather as they stretch. He opens his eyes and his ears twitch as he hears a faint, 'What.' Oh, so the pilot of that ship decided to show up, huh. Guess there's really no choice, considering the ship itself if now about 200 feet away, buried in the sand. Maxwell allows himself a small grin of satisfaction. Normally he doesn't get so much enjoyment out of ruining someone else's things, but not gonna lie, tossing that ship felt real good. He looks at LeeRoy, takes a step backward, and then makes a jump.<br/><br/>Now, this is no ordinary jump. Maxwell has legs that would make a Giant Redwood tree weep from the beauty. We're talking grade A treetrunks. These legs allow Maxwell, all thirty five HUNDRED pounds of him, to run at a speed of 100 miles an hour without stopping for at least 7 hours. So when I say that Maxwell jumps, its more appropriate to say he took off from the ground. With force. Jumping 100 feet is simple for Maxwell. So, he angles himself properly, and launches over to LeeRoy, cracking the ground where he lands with his massive weight.<br/><br/>""So, is this your ship? It landed on me. It kind of hurt."" He states is simply and matter of factly, as if just being slightly hurt by it was completely natural."

So he was indescribably strong. Scratch that. He was so strong that he threw incredibly heavy star ships through the air as though they were fucking nothing. That's how strong he is. And he has a hundred feet of vertical jump. This guy's like fucking Original Superman. LeeRoy groaned and marched up to the giant muscular jerk and pointed his finger at him accusingly. ""Yes, that's my ship! You wrecked my ship! You hit my fucking ship!""<br/><br/>'What.'<br/><br/>Ignoring the voice in his head he continued screaming at this gargantuan man, not really caring about his safety at this point. ""You're damn right it hurt! You hit my ship! How the hell did you not only hit my ship, but crash it, and then survive the crash!?"" The screaming continued like that for a little while until LeeRoy ran out of breath and then just sat down in the sand. LeeRoy was done screaming, he was done caring, he was just done. What kind of backwoods universe had he stumbled into? What's next, that fucking hill over there standing up to beat the hell out of him? Probably, but he just couldn't find it in himself to care.<br/><br/>""I've just got one question left. Are you the bitch of some god?""<br/><br/>'What the hell, LeeRoy, this guy could probably rip you in half!'<br/><br/>""Yeah I've been through worse."""

Turns out the scientist is a rather stocky individual with HUGE arms. Maxwell raises his eyebrows and looks down at his own arms. Hmm, they're about the same size. That's honestly really surprising. Maxwell is so much bigger than normal people, its not common to find anyone with limbs coming anywhere close to his size. Completely ignoring his ranting, Maxwell nods his head. Rather impressive that, honestly. Odd thing to be impressed by, but come on, when you're like Maxwell, you've really got to take your likenesses with other humans when you can get them.<br/><br/>But anyway, back to the topic at hand. Little arguing guy right in front of him. ""Yeah, I did hit your ship! It was on TOP of me. What else was I supposed to do?"" Maxwell states this VERY obvious line of though. Ships on top of him, ship needs to go. ""And I survived that crash because I'm made of just a wee bit sterner stuff than most people, including, Im assuming, you."" His voice gets a bit lower near the end of that statement. Its not exactly a threat, but ey, when you've lived a life of violence like Maxwell has, things like this just have a tendency to happen.<br/><br/>What's this dudes problem anyway? If he built a ship capable of traversing through space, shouldn't it have like, self repairing nanomachines or something? He'll be the first to admit, Maxwell doesn't know all that much about science. His origin world wasn't that scientifically advanced, and he only knows what he picked up through his travels. ""Doesn't your ship just repair itself anyway? I mean, if you can travel through space quickly, it's gotta be pretty advanced, right?"" He takes his helmet off, letting his hair out, and scratches the back of his head. ""I mean, I'm fairly ignorant of all this ""Future Science"" stuff.""<br/><br/>""Also, you've got to be a lot tougher than you look, cause otherwise you'd not be insulting someone of my stature. I've beat the literal shit out of dudes for less than what you've said."" He's gotta admit though, he respects someone who won't back down from a fight, even if it is incredibly stupid. ""Yes, to answer your question, I am a ""Bitch"" of a god. I prefer the term paladin though, so I'd appreciate if you use it."" Maxwell creases his eyebrows. He's not about to beat LeeRoy up yet, but he's also not quite a nice guy, and being referred to as a bitch is not something he takes kindly to. He's not above punching a nerd in the glasses."

Some people were so powerful that they seemed to think conversation was totally worthless. In fact, more than some. It's ignorance in its most heavily refined form. A lack of conversation lead to silence, silence leads to a lack of practice. You never know when you're going to have to talk your way out of something. But now the guy was talking about LeeRoy's ship.<br/><br/>In what seemed to be an indignant matter-of-fact statement he started speaking about how it was totally normal to send massive chunks of metal flying through the air. Specifically how he was acting as though he were the one victimized here. Then he concluded his point with the sentence: ""And I survived that crash because I'm made of just a wee bit sterner stuff than most people, including, I'm assuming, you."" That was rather offensive to LeeRoy, it wasn't his fault that he couldn't sleep. ""Yeah, sure, you can go right ahead and make abbrasive commentary about how much better you are than me. Whoop de doo, now that I know what god you're working for I know exactly how this'll go anyway.""<br/><br/>'What do you mean b- Oh. Really? Him? Of all the gods to toss someone our way, him?'<br/><br/>""Of course, I mean he is friends with Big Blue. I'm assuming. Gold and Blue go well together, colors contrast pretty well and all that.""<br/><br/>And then he made the dumb comment. Of course he's dumb. ""Self repair? Really? Is that what you think I'm capable of. Sure, let me just sit down and explain to you the thousands of reasons why that doesn't make sense. For starters, creating the materials that can reshape an entire ship would take decades. Proper programming would take a fucking century before it doesn't run the risk of rampant over aggression. Trust me, I've tried.""<br/><br/>'We all know how that one ended.'<br/><br/>""Yeah, theoretically apocalyptic situations aren't fun."" LeeRoy stood back up and took a step up to Maxwell, opening up the visor on his helmet to get a better look at him. ""And besides, what do you know about science. I can tell that you're armed with Iron Age technology, you couldn't even begin to comprehend how to build a space ship.""<br/><br/>""I don't need to be anything, numbnuts. I can insult any person I want and there's not a damn thing you can do to me. What're you gonna do? Punch me? How original."" The scientist's temper was running incredibly hot. The long list of shitty events that have ruined LeeRoy's day has just not been annoying, they have been compiling. He could literally not care less about the emotions of some meatheaded 'paladin.' ""Yeah, and about that 'paladin' shit. You're nothing more than a worker of your god, gods are not super caring about mortals. You know that right? You're just a blink in the lifetime of an immortal being. And your cock-sure behavior isn't going to get you off of this heap of a planet. I'm the only person in the entire world who knows you're out here, and I'm the only person who has a fucking ship that's easily accessable.""<br/><br/>'LeeRoy, you're getting ahead of yourself!' The voidman pleaded with him but his frustrations were too great for him to care.<br/><br/>""And besides, Bitch. You're the one who wrecked it, so you either make the choice of helping me or fucking die out here."""

Looks like the scientist has a bit of fight in him after all. Maxwell grins once he starts his tirade again. Two can play this game, and I can guarantee Maxwell has more fight in him that the one yelling.<br/><br/><b>""You can go on making abrasive comments about how you're better than me!""</b><i>""Well excuse me! I wasn't exactly saying Im better than you, just tougher. Two totally different categories. If I was talking about being better than you, trust me, you'd know!"" </i>Maxwell retorts rather aggressively. He doesn't take kindly to being yelled at for no good reason. He comes hurtling out of the sky, gets hit by a SPACESHIP and somehow its HIS fault he had to get it off of him!? Yeah no, he doesn't think so. LeeRoy is pushing his luck quick, and the thread is wearing thing. And now that he knows what god Maxwell's with? How in the hell would he know that? He better keep his mouth shut on that though, if there's one thing Maxwell doesn't tolerate at all, it's having his patron talked shit about.<br/><br/>And now the runt is going on about how stupid self repairing ships are. Yeah, like Maxwell fucking cares about that. ""Well fucking EXCUSE me princess! How in the hell was I supposed to know that!? I've run into self repairing ships before, it's honestly not that uncommon! I take it I'm a wee bit smarter than you give me credit for. I've been all over the fucking universe and have learnt a lot more than your average, everyday solider. TRUST me, I'm EVERYTHING but average!"" Now Maxwell's yelling too, a vein bulging in his head from anger. Goddamn he hates people yelling at him. His hearing's better than a normal human, just like everything else, and yelling is just fucking grating.<br/><br/>Numbnuts. How clever. Thats grade A middle school insults right there. But its still annoying now, annoying enough to give Maxwell just even more of a push over the edge of violence. As LeeRoy keeps yelling about how punching him would be super unoriginal, he nods his head. Yeah, punching him, that's exactly what he's gonna do. He brings up his right arm and takes the gauntlet off, hanging it off of his hip, attached to the armor. And how lucky for LeeRoy, he just lifted his visor.<br/><br/>Wait, what was that?<b>"" You're nothing more than a worker of your god, gods are not super caring about mortals. You know that right? You're just a blink in the lifetime of an immortal being."" </b>Yeah, that's what he thought he heard. Maxwell immediately stops listening to whatever the rest LeeRoy is saying. Talking shit about his god is the number one thing to not do around Maxwell.<br/><br/>With a vein bulging in his forehead and a brutally cold smile, Maxwell cocks his arm back and twists his hip. This is gonna be a full power, whole contact right straight. ""You need to shut the hell up, NOW. I've fucking had it with you! I TRIED being nice, and since that didn't WORK, try this! You're gonna need my help a hell of a lot more than I need yours!"" He throws his shoulder forward, twists his hips back around and give a perfect, by the book right straight right at LeeRoy's face. This would take a normal human's head right off, but Maxwell gives no fuck. LeeRoy shouldlve take then warning when he got it, but he let his temper get the best of him. Oh well."
15420,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-17 13:08:00,LeeRoy,"I think the biggest point that LeeRoy got from all of this was the fact that he had fucked up somewhere around halfway through his rant. The massive man pulled the gauntlet from his hand and clenched his fist. LeeRoy's eyes trailed up from the fist to Maxwell's face. Oh boy.<br/><br/>A smile.<br/><br/>'You have officially fucked up.'<br/><br/>""Yep.""<br/><br/>He closed his eyes and pressed his head against the back of his helmet to best possibly brace himself for this punch. No, it wasn't going to do much. In fact it was going to do almost nothing. But it was more for his sanity's sake. With a punch so swift it would take a normal man's head off LeeRoy was struck right in the jaw. Without his helmet this would have likely knocked his block clean off. But we'll assess the damage after he lands.<br/><br/>Lands?<br/><br/>Yeah. He's flying. LeeRoy's face was struck with so much force that he was sent flying backwards over the surface of the sand. The wind ripped against his increasingly sore face, that was surprising. Why? Well he didn't expect to already be upside down, he was flipping through the air with the momentum from that punch. As his flight began to slow down LeeRoy's face was met with a fuckton of sand, he flipped a few more times in the sand. Sending huge clouds of sand into the air as he struck the gritty surface. By the time LeeRoy had landed in the dirt he was damn near invisible behind the cloud of sand.<br/><br/>He slid to a half on the sand and just laid there.<br/><br/>'You fucked up so bad.'<br/><br/><i>Yeah. I really fucked up.</i><br/><br/>The scientist checked himself over, wiggling his toes and fingers and then his arms and legs.<i>At least I'm not paralyzed.</i>And that's when the pain returned from the shock of it all. LeeRoy's face was screaming in agony, and so was he. Oh hey, he hadn't noticed that he was screaming. Hooray. In fact he hadn't noticed a couple things.<br/><br/>First off he's got both of his hands on his face, holding it tightly and muffling his screams. From his neck down he was in fact convulsing and writhing on the ground. This was understandable for someone who's barely over a low tier getting punched by a high tier. Finally there was a lot of blood, his hands were soaked in the stuff. The low quality reddish grey blood was coating his palms and actually seeping through his fingers.<br/><br/>'That's bad.'<br/><br/><i>Oh yeah. I'd be willing to bet that my face is screwed up pretty bad.</i><br/><br/>'No sense in delaying it.'<br/><br/><i>Nope.</i>He lifted his hands away from his face and closed his visor, flicking on the self observation. Oh Jesus Christ. Let's start with the least ruined part. His nose was shattered and pressed flat against his face, damn near completely crushed. Second was the fact that his front teeth were all in the back of his mouth, that was disgusting in more than one way. And last but certainly not least of these observations was his jaw. LeeRoy's jaw was literally hanging off of his head, almost completely split in two and functionally severed from his skull. Trying to move it was excruciating and fruitless so he just let it hang.<br/><br/>'You just got wrecked.'<br/><br/><i>I am very well aware of my current situation.</i><br/><br/>'Should you apologize?'<br/><br/><i>Are you serious? Even if I wanted to I couldn't, did you not see my jaw?</i><br/><br/>'You're a stubborn asshole, you know that?'<br/><br/><i>To be fair, he punched me in the face.</i><br/><br/>'After you insulted his god.'<br/><br/><i>Shut up.</i>LeeRoy struggled back to his feet and started a very slow and deliberate walk back to his ship. His body was, overall, rather unharmed from the punch. Since it was a punch to his face he was left only in pain from the neck up. But the slow walk was to keep it from getting any worse. LeeRoy kept his visor down to prevent Maxwell from seeing the damge that he had caused.<br/><br/>Yes. He's that prideful.<br/><br/>'Today is not your day.'<br/><br/><i>I know.</i>"
15421,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-21 01:22:00,TheBiddz,"""Bahahahaha! Oh man, that was awesome."" Maxwell laughs profusely and wipes his eyes. Yep, there's a tear there. Honestly, that's not what he was expecting. He was expecting his head to go flying or something. Maybe after that he would loot the ship for some valuables. It's not the first time he's done something like that But no matter! What he just got to see happen was a hilarious scene of that dude rolling through the sand. Mm, priceless. Its actually really incredible that LeeRoy managed to survive that too. There aren't many things that can survive a full punch from Maxwell, and he'll be the first to tell you, he certainly didn't expect THAT guy to live. He looks decently tough for an average human, but certainly not anything greater than average. Maxwell rubs his impressively chiseled chin. ""Maybe I underestimated you, Scientist,"" He mumbles to himself.<br/><br/>Now, there is a crucial decision to make here. Maxwell could either A: Apologize to LeeRoy and offer his help. (Not gonna happen.) Or he could B: Go to LeeRoy, say he underestimated him, and try to come to a mutual understanding so that they both dont die out in the middle of the fucking desert. Hmmm. Neither of them are honestly very appealing. Admitting he's wrong? Fuck that noise.<br/><br/>Maxwell shrugs his shoulders and begins to walk towards the ship. It's whatever really. It's either join up with LeeRoy, or have a considerably more likely chance of dying out in the middle of a metric asston of sand. And right now, Maxwell hates sand more than he hates LeeRoy. He definitely at least dislikes LeeRoy though. I mean, did you hear what all he said to him?! Ridiculous. He totally insulted Maxwell's god, and that's a grievous charge. However, Maxwell just almost literally knocked LeeRoy's block off, so he figures they're even. He'll call it that anyway, cause having to deal with more arguing is more of a pain in the ass than Maxwell is willing to go through. And after looking at LeeRoy, he figures that dude could do a whole lot more arguing before getting tired.<br/><br/>So hopefully the two grown ass men will realize that more arguing is stupid, let bygones be bygones, and not make even more of a mess than they're already in. Maxwell slips his gauntlet back on and continues walking towards LeeRoy, who is walking towards the ship, calling out to him.<br/><br/>""Hey! That was really impressive, surviving that punch. I'm prideful, but not stupid. So how about we call it there and see about getting out of this fucking desert?"" He swears to god though, if he makes a comment about 'Oh, backing down already?' or something, LeeRoy's gonna get the slip slapped out of him. Again."
15422,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-22 01:43:00,LeeRoy,"When Maxwell called out to him after LeeRoy stood up he didn't even bother trying to wave out a response, continuing on his way back to his ship. LeeRoy climbed inside and checked the main console, deactivating non-vital systems and rerouting directly to the medical bay. At that point he collapsed onto the floor and pressed a couple buttons on his chest piece. The armor snapped open and the helmet popped off like a cork, as it rolled away the small spherical form of LeeRoy's assistant droid rolled across the ground and stopped by his body. ""Do you need assistance, LeeRoy?"" Rather weakly he nodded to the small robot. ""Very well, medical bed?"" Another small nod. ""Very well."" A dozen or so metal tendrils emerged from the sphere and coiled around his body, lifting him above the sphere and carting him off to the medical bay. It was quite desolate in there, despite the main table still functioning, the only lights on were the emergencies. This gave the entire chamber a dim blue glow. Why blue? Red may illuminate more but it looks mad nasty in a medical bay.<br/><br/>On the table was LeeRoy's still writhing form, encased in metal appendages that slowly unraveled from around him. After releasing him the ball robot rolled over to the secondary console, connecting directly into the surgical table. Metal hands reached out from the table and grabbed LeeRoy's legs and arms, locking them into place. Then a golden dome, filtered to an ugly green in the blue light, sealed itself around LeeRoy's body and released several small machine arms. These little arms slid up to his face and began work with a series of potent local anesthetics, dulling the nerves before they were even properly reconnected. This would prevent any unnecessary pain in the near future.<br/><br/>After injecting the various wounds a small hose emerged from the table and curved upwards into his mouth, siphoning out the excess blood. Two hands reached down and opened up his mouth all the way, a third hand reached in and grabbed the teeth that had been knocked out and set them aside. Several dozen little wiry arms reached up and started repositioning LeeRoy's jaw, inserting themselves into the torn flesh as living sutures. With one quick sickening crack his jaw was snapped back into position. If his mouth would open he would have let out the loudest and most pained scream humanly imaginable. After a full battery of facial reconstruction, which some parts are too gross to go into detail for, LeeRoy was left to recover and come down from the sedatives.<br/><br/>'That was sickening to witness.'<br/><br/>Though his mouth was still numbed he managed to mutter out a few words. ""At- At leaft you diddin haff to fill it.""<br/><br/>'You sound like an idiot.'<br/><br/><i>Fuck yourself.</i>He thought aloud, laying there on the metal bench and staring up at the blue overhead lights. His tongue limply prodded at his replaced teeth and bones, the metal wiring connecting them to his skull was unpleasant to the touch. ""Groth."" And now LeeRoy waits for Maxwell to enter his ship and say whatever off-hand comment he wants to say."
15423,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-27 07:10:00,TheBiddz,"As he approaches the ship, Maxwell hears many a whirring and buzzing noise. ""Hmm, what could those sounds be? I thought this whole thing was trashed."" Walking into the ship with a classic sound of metal boots on steel floor, Maxwell walks through the trashed craft, noting an odd glow throughout the whole place. Happening upon the medical bay (How? I dunno. Plot progression that's how.) Maxwell freezes as he walks in halfway through the procedure. Holy shit man, that looks intense. Maxwell cringes as he watches, gasping when the small wire arms burrow into LeeRoy's jaw. Maxwell can absolutely power through worse things that that, his pain tolerance levels are high, but even taking that into consideration, that still looks and sounds incredibly painful, and he's just a little sympathetic, cause you know. He's the one who did it to LeeRoy, so. There's that.<br/><br/>After the procedure, Maxwell clears his throat. Cough cough, and all that. ""So. That looked incredibly painful."" He's a bit awkward, he's never really one to apologize. (Really? SHOCKING.) ""Also, I am incredibly impressed that you managed to take that punch and get up. So, I'm sorry for breaking your ship, but not for punching you. You should have known better, being someone of I'm assuming, pretty incredible intellect."" Yeah, he's not gonna apologize for the punch. LeeRoy was pretty much literally asking for it, talking shit about Maxwell and his god like that. ""So, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. I need help getting off of this planet to get somewhere more worthwhile, and it's pretty clear this fucking ship isn't going anywhere unless I move it around for you. So, I think we should work together to try and get out of this sand hellhole.""<br/><br/>Maxwell holds out his massive hand in a handshaking position. ""Now, Im not saying we should be all buddy buddy, but I think we need to at least try and not kill each other so we're not surrounded by sand for the next seventy years. Can we make a deal on that?"" That should do. Maxwell doesnt particularly like LeeRoy, and he knows LeeRoy doesn't like him, so a truce is the best that BOTH of them can hope for at this point."
15424,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-04-30 07:14:00,LeeRoy,"The ship rocked slightly as Maxwell's weight pushed down on the side he came in, followed by the echoing clang of his metal boots on the floor. When the blue colored outline of Maxwell's enormous form peeked his head in the door he saw a slight look of disgust on his face. LeeRoy would have smiled if he had the ability to, a bit squeemish despite his brutish nature. Duely noted.<br/><br/>But then something unexpected happened.<br/><br/>He apologized.<br/><br/>'What.'<br/><br/><i>We're done with that.</i><br/><br/>'Oh.'<br/><br/>He did apologize though, not about the punch to the face. LeeRoy didn't expect an apology for that. Maxwell apologized to him for striking his ship, which was alright by LeeRoy, as long as he didn't have to deal with another punch. ""Yeah thure, I thupothe that we cout comm to an agweemen."" The numbing agents plus his new voice are an incredibly unfortunate combination, it makes him sound like a drunkard with a heavy lisp.<br/><br/>Reaching up he shook Maxwell's hand and used his arm as a lever to hoist himself back up to his feet. Flexing his jaw a bit he tried to get some of the feeling back into his tongue so he could speak properly. He did this as he walked up to the main console on the ship. At the console he pressed a few buttons and a shaky viewscreen popped up, he touched it and rerouted all power from the medical bay and emergency lights to the main lights and forward screens. ""Ath it iss-"" He paused for a moment, congratulating himself on the usage of the letter 's' with a numb tongue. ""We'll about a hundred or tho milth fom anywell elth. I can get tha lannin' gear down if you go lift her up a bit."" He paused again to clear his throat and turn around to Maxwell. ""That thould help you drag her a bit, the wheelth should be functhunal."""

Maxwell wouldn't get this, but LeeRoy sounds like a drunk Barry White with a lisp right now. That's really something there. If Maxwell DID know who Barry White was, he would be chuckling his ass off right now. That doesn't really have much to do with anything, I just thought I'd mention it.<br/><br/>""Cool. Apology accepted then. I was honestly a bit concerned you'd refuse and we get into a dick waving contest of 'Who wants to yield first'. Which frankly, neither of us have the time for.""<br/><br/>Maxwell taps his incredibly chiseled as he thinks. ""I'm more than willing to help drag the ship, that's not a problem. It doesn't weigh too much. I could just pick it up, though I'm pretty sure carrying 80 tons on my hands, putting all that weight on just my feet, the ground wouldn't like that too much. I'd probably sink. So do you have any big chains or anything I could tug on? I think you'd rather I do that than just shove my hands through the hull and push."" Maxwell knows whats up, he's a smart dude. If LeeRoy got that upset about him having to push it off of himself in the desert, breaking the hull with his hands would certainly upset him some more.<br/><br/>""Also, where exactly are we headed now? I wasn't paying a whole ton of attention to the scenery as I was hurtling out of space. Is there a city or something we can go to to repair this busted ship?"" A city would be a good place to go, and Maxwell is positive that as long as LeeRoy tells him what to get, he'd be able to ""acquire"" some parts real quick. One way or the other. Anything he needs to do to get off this godforsaken rock and into the action sooner rather than later. Once LeeRoy lets him know what the plan is (LeeRoy's the planner right now, after all, he's the one with the spacecraft), he'll go outside, lift this puppy up, and they can get moving."

LeeRoy's lisping and droning was noticeably going away as the pain relievers were wearing off, and the pain was starting to surge through his face. ""You'll need to stick some pieces of metal or ceramic underneath each of the landing pads, also tear off the wheels. It'll spread the weight a bit more evenly. Allowing you to drag them without resistance. But if you leave the wheels on there it will start to sink into the sand again."" His right hand pointed at the dangling pieces of metal from the roof, covered in wiring and dripping sparks like water.<br/><br/>""Now, while I'm not certain about this planet's rotation. Generally deserts are east of water bodies and west of inland areas, so I'm going to assume the best direction to go is east. Against the flow of the wind but we're certain to reach a habitable zone faster than we would a body of water. And only one of them would be useful to us."" He didn't even pause to catch a breath, he was busy reconfiguring the console. Some of the buttons were totally shattered, the rest were only partially functional. He had to find one that worked perfectly to raise the gear. Otherwise it was going to be a very long time before reaching the inland area.<br/><br/>""I'm going to bet that there's a few lengths of tubing that once connected the engine to the rest of the ship. Feel free to rip those out and use those, they're going to be strong enough to support the weight of the ship.""<br/><br/>'But how will we get the ship started again if there's nothing connecting the engine to the rest?'<br/><br/>""I've got a helping hand here, I don't have to worry about that. So as long as he's capable of following orders we should be able to get the ship running in only a few days.""<br/><br/>'This guy? Following orders? Sure.'<br/><br/>The woman had a point, even though LeeRoy didn't bother to respond. Other than a convincing argument there really wasn't much that LeeRoy could do to get Maxwell to do anything for him. That was a problem that would arise later, and would be dealt with then. Now they had to focus on getting out of the desert."
15427,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-05-06 09:36:00,TheBiddz,"""East it is then. Is there a way for you to talk to me while we're out there?"" He begins walking to the exit to begin work on the ship, then stops suddenly. ""Oh hold on."" He lifts up his left leg, taking off the boot, then does the same with his right. Holding both boots in his hand, he drops them onto the floor with an incredibly loud bang, as each boot weighs about 75 pounds a piece. ""There we go, trying to run in sand in those is an absolute nightmare. I've killed eldritch horrors and I would rather deal with them over than sandy boots. Get's all in my toenails and shit."" Truly a man with his priorities in order, Maxwell. Makes you wonder, what exactly has he done to make him so nonchalant about slaying horrific beasts, but hate sand so much? Well, I mean, I know, but you don't. Neener neener.<br/><br/>""Anyway, with that taken care of, activate a transmission sensor or open a porthole or something, cause this is gonna be a long trip. Well. Maybe."" He walks out of the ship, his feet still thudding heavily on the ship's floor regardless of the boots or not. He still weighs about three thousand pounds anyway.<br/><br/>""Also, hold on tight.""<br/><br/>Maxwell exits the ship, stepping onto the hot sand. A lesser (IE: Normal) human would be experiencing heat enough to burn their skin from the sun baked particles under their feet right now, but Maxwell's feet are literally tougher than the strongest leather, so he barely registers it as even being there. Lifting the ship with one arm, straining just a bit, he begins to move under it. ""Alright, he said to prop the landing pads and break the wheels huh? Not too hard."" Using his other arm, he breaks some of the paneling off of the side of the ship, one for each pad. He sets them under the pads in the appropriate spots, then lowers the ship once more. Crawling under the ship now, he wiggles over to the wheels, then one at a time, grabs them, one handed, and rips them off as if they were paper towels. He crawls back towards the front of the ship, chucks them inside to LeeRoy to hold onto if he needs them, and then licks his finger to check the direction of the wind. LeeRoy said east, so once he determines direction, he grabs the ship, and begins to turn it around, pointing the front of the ship east, the rear, where he is, facing west.<br/><br/>Satisfied with this, he walks back around to the front, grabbing some of the more flexible tubing of the ship as he goes. Once in front, he pokes a couple of holes to thread it through, then connects it to his belt, making a simple, but effective harness. ""ALRIGHT LEEROY. HOLD ON."" He yells through the front, thinking that the broken windows should let enough of the sound through. Taking a good running position, Maxwell begins at a slow start. With one foot in front of the other, he builds up to a normal human running speed, 15 mph, the ship being drug behind him. Establishing that it isn't yet bouncing around, Maxwell kicks it up a notch, pumping his legs harder, boosting to 70 mph within about 10 seconds. The ship rattles, but stays stable enough to where he feels comfortable really letting it fly at 100 miles per hour, sand churning and flying behind this monster of a man. ""Hahaha! Okay! Maybe not so long!"""

LeeRoy would never understand how biological beings could stand growing to that enormous of a size. It must take a disgusting amount of calories to fuel him.<br/><br/>'Yeah, he could probably eat anything.'<br/><br/>""You disgust me, y'know that? You are a disgusting creature."" Voidman's only response was to laugh, at least while she was laughing she couldn't talk. The tires come flopping inside, looking like they had been through a violent blowout on the road. LeeRoy shouldn't have been surprised by this, he's seen much more impressive feats, but those were vulcanized rubber tires. Vulcanized rubber tires are just one enormous molecule, tearing it apart is an incredible feat.<br/><br/>On the inside, LeeRoy was actually using his hand to finish breaking out the glass on the forward window. The tint was stuck black so he had to clear it out. Using a scrap of metal as a pick he finished breaking it out. ""Alright, that should be good, I'll go break out the back window. Create a channel of air to reduce drag.""<br/><br/>At the back of the ship he took the slab of metal in hand and shattered the back window out, feeling the hot dry air blow against his cheeks. A frown crept across his face as a bit of sand wound up in his eye. ""I hate the desert."" The ship started to move, Maxwell was rotating her into position. ""Big guy works awful fast.""<br/><br/>""Yeah, sure. I'll be sure to grab onto the falling apart slab of metal."" Though he did actually brace himself, he was absolutely unsure as to how fast this ride would be. Without the stabilizers functioning he was going to feel every single G. When Maxwell really cut loose and reached his top speed LeeRoy's glasses were damn near sandblasted by the wind speed combined with the cloud of sand. Deciding that a faceful of sand and broken glasses wasn't in his list of things he was going to deal with today, he closed himself into his sleeping quarters. Laying across the bed and placing a pillow underneath his head. This was going to be a long ride, so LeeRoy was going to get comfortable."

The power feet sinking into the sand and then blasting off with the force of a jet. Truly a majestic creature.<br/><br/>So, how's it going? Yeah? That's good. Kinda just passing time here. Even at 100 mph, running through thick sand and heat, this is a potentially long trip.<br/><br/>Which is why we're going to skip some time here. During the next three hours, Maxwell just continues to churn sand behind him, occasionally tossing remarks through the window to LeeRoy. ""So, what exactly are we looking for?"" ""How in the hell did you end up here anyway?"" The like. Not that he's REALLY interested in having a conversation because LO AND BEHOLD<br/><br/>As soon as he asks where LeeRoy came from and how he hit him with his damn ship, he spots a....is that? Yes! It is! It's a city! In the horizon, past the dust and the clouds, Maxwell's fine eyes spot the telltale signs of a city! Tall buildings, more tall buildings. Woohoo! Success. As he gets closer, he notices that wow, this is a pretty dense city. Quite a few people, flying cars, spaceships, the like. All in all, honestly a very pretty locale. In the midst of the desert, these people have managed to create a thriving irrigation system, leading to foilage aplenty and plenty of green to offset the shit brown of the sand. Its certainly an improvement.<br/><br/>""Sweet ass. A city. You know what that means. People. And where's the people-"" His stomach rumbles incredibly loudly. We're talking like, 80 decibels. Thats like front row of a rock concert. Maxwell laughs. He doesn't know if LeeRoy is sleeping or not, but either way, he probably heard it. ""Haha that's right stomach, where there's people there's food. And we haven't eaten in a while.""<br/><br/>Maxwell rushes to the edge of the city, unbuckles the ship, and leaves it there as he literally stampedes through the town to find some food. Thankfully, there's really only two types of transportation in this city. Flying cars, and walking. Which means there's plenty of room in the middle for Maxwell's huge ass to not trample on anyone and really, once they feel the vibrations from his 3000 pound frame stomping towards them, they generally get out of the way. Along the way he hears many comments, many of them pertaining to how they've never seen someone quite so large. Yeah, he gets that a lot.<br/><br/>After parading around town for a little bit trying to lock on to the best smell, he finds exactly what he is looking for. A butcher shop. Filled to the brim with a variety of local and exotic meats. But uh, not for long. ""Hello there! I would like to purchase everything, please."" The butcher can only look at him with a stunned and awed silence, his mouth hanging agape. ""No, you heard me right. Everything. Every single piece of meat you have for sale.""<i>""O-Okay, but do you have the money to pay for it, sir?""</i>Maxwell looks offended at the question. ""Of course I have money! I'm not going to pilfer food from you. I bet you worked hard for that food. That I am now going to purchase and take from everyone who may needed to buy meat today and possibly for the next couple of weeks."" Maxwell reaches into the pouch on his belt, that yes, it has in fact been there the entire time, and withdraws a gold bar. ""Um, do you guys take gold? It's kind of the only thing I have to pay with me.""<i>""Of course sir! Honestly, I'd give it to you for free as long as you didn't punch me. You are a very large individual, and it looks like you can punch very, very hard."" </i>Maxwell laughs heartily, thanking the butcher and loading the literal shopsworth of meat product into a gigantic rucksack that the butcher was kind enough to throw in. Smiling happily at the thought of a 100k calorie meal, Maxwell heads back in the direction of LeeRoy's ship, when he notices a little something that catches his eye.<br/><br/>It's an antique shop! Maxwell loves antiques, because he's found that in his journeys, antiques are far and away the most likely objects to be filled with special powers. Entering the shop, he waves his hand to the kind old lady (If a bit stereotypical) at the counter. She smiles back, and pans her hand around to the many, many antiques in her business. Most of them are completely useless to Maxwell. He'd love to own them and put them on a dresser or a table or something, but this isn't exactly the proper environment for that. One thing that does actually catch his interest is a couple of rusty old whistles. ""A-Are those train whistles? What in the hell are train whistles doing on a planet like this? I don't this planet has ever had trains. How peculiar."" He buys them. Why? Why not.<br/><br/>Satisfied with all his purchases, he heads back to the ship, this time, actually getting there."

Can't sleep, remember? This entire time he had been ignoring Maxwell's shouting, focusing entirely on the wound inflicted upon his face. At this point he was certain that he was going to have to transfer into the new body once he ensured its safety. Uncertain of Maxwell's reaction to such a thing he would have to keep it secretive. Knowing how some religious extremists react to cloning and stuff along the lines of full cerebral transfer. Could not risk having his new body being destroyed, that would honestly be disastrous.<br/><br/>LeeRoy got up from his chambers and headed to the main console again, doing a full diagnostic of the ship's condition. Not at all to his surprise, it was grim. Even with Maxwell's help it would take a number of days to repair. Anyway, Maxwell returned to the ship with an unnecessary amount of meat. To this point, LeeRoy simply nodded, no longer addressing the absurdity of the situation. Rather, he focused on two small metallic tubes that Maxwell had brought along for the ride.<br/><br/>Two brass cylinders, looking rather aged and probably from some outdated mechanism. Intrigued by this, LeeRoy stood up from the console. Wandering up to the door the scientist leaned in a bit to get a closer inspection of these mysterious metal cylinders. In his head, he thought quite a number of things. Perhaps Maxwell knew what his fuel source was and these were canisters of uranium. That would be wonderful, because that would take so long to explain why he needed it. Then he realized exactly what his enormous companion had really brought back.<br/><br/>Train whistles.<br/><br/>'Train whistles?'<br/><br/>""Train whistles."" LeeRoy stated with absolutely no emotion to his new dry and deep voice. ""You brought back train whistles. Rather than anything of use for repairing this ship, you brought back train whistles."" Nodding silently to himself he turned around and put his hand in his beard, scratching at his chin underneath. ""I would say I'm surprised, although that would be a falsehood. So, let's try something else. Why did you bring back train whistles?"""

""Why'd I bring back train whistles? Why the fuck would I not bring back train whistles? I don't remember your ass giving me a shopping list. If you were awake this whole, you could've said something, and I would have picked up supplies for you while I was out. But you didn't. So I got my food, and I saw some train whistles that I bought. Now, I'm going to weld these to my gauntlets, and name my fists the Pain Trains. You can't imagine how long I've wanted to use that joke."" All of this is said with a completely straight face. No hint of a grin or anything.<br/><br/>""Also, now that I'm back and have MY shopping, you can go shopping on your own. Because I can't be bothered to help you while I'm hungry. I need to go through a hell of a lot more calories than normal people, so all of this food actually is useful. If we run into something strong, and I get hungry, well we're shit out of luck. I don't know what my caloric output is, but it's huge. So you can eat a dick."" Maxwell takes a strip of well marbled meat out of the pouch and just puts it right in his mouth. ""Mmmmm, that's really good."" He chews happily, the meat actually cooking inside his mouth. One of the side effects of having the Purging Flame inside of him is that his body heat is off the charts. When Maxwell bleeds, he bleeds hot. Like, boiling hot. And the inside of his mouth is easily over 400 degrees, cooking things as he chews.<br/><br/>""However, we'll get no where from being rude, so while I won't help you with shopping right now, I will do things to the best of my ability here. Give me a list of things to do, and I will try to fufill it as I can. I would like to not be here for very long."" Maxwell does this out of necessity, not kindness. If he didn't need LeeRoy's ship, he wouldn't hesitate to get into a sass battle/dick waving contest with LeeRoy. He can sass with the best of them."

LeeRoy spun on his heel and returned to the console, rerouting all remaining power to the overhead lights. ""Problem is, I don't have workers that can carry shit for me, so I'm gonna have to wait until you finish eating. Because the amount of ceramics, metals, fuel, and plastics we need to repair this thing is well over fifteen tons."" With a flip of a switch he turned on a shaky viewscreen that hovered just above the keyboard. On it was a diagram of the ship that displayed all damaged locations. ""Which, mind you, every location is damaged on the ship right now. Because you collided with the top, and then the ship landed on you. And you damaged the bottom. So, I'm going to chalk up a list of shit that needs to be brought back, and when you finish your unhealthy meal, I'll give you the list and you can return with the materials required to reconstruct the Space Grazer and my suit.""<br/><br/>'Ordering around big men, you do that a lot.'<br/><br/><i>I'm a natural born leader, I know.</i><br/><br/>'Let that smugness get too strong and he'll probably punch you again.'<br/><br/><i>I'll be fine.</i><br/><br/>'Sure you will.'<br/><br/>""Anyway. The ship has a good store of valuable minerals stored in the rearmost compartment, trading my services only for materials that are considered valuable among most races has its perks. Diamonds, emeralds, and gems in general are the gist of the loot. Along with a few dozen pounds of gold bouillon. That should serve as sufficient bartering material for what needs to be purchased."" Pulling out a piece of paper he began writing down a list of important materials required to reconstruct his ship. ""Likely, since this is an active urban environment, this city will have a metalworkers shop. Hopefully they'll have a good bit of what I need there."" The page was filled with a comprehensive list of everything from ceramic tiling used on spacecraft to coated copper wiring and powertools.<br/><br/>Once the list had been completed he brought the paper up with his right hand. ""Once you finish eating, take the page and retrieve the materials. I'll do what I can to piece together what we have remaining. Which is not a whole lot, crashes are notoriously destructive on small craft."""

I mean, if I have to bus all of your shit around anyway."" He furrows his brow, doing the ""Lord Give me Strength"" brow pinch. ""If I didn't need you to get out of here, this would be a completely different experience."" He takes another thick strip of meat out of his pouch and starts chewing on it, sizzling noises coming out between his teeth as he chews. Maxwell grabs the paper while he chews. ""Might as well get started on it while I'm eating. The less time I have to put up with this bullshit, the better."" Slipping the paper in between his waist and his armor, he takes off his gauntlets and holds them out to LeeRoy with his left hand. ""I wasn't kidding about those train whistles. If you could weld them to the gloves, I would very much appreciate it."" Maxwell walks off with both the list and the sack of food, grumbling to himself. ""At least one of us grown ass men has the decency to be nice.""<br/><br/>Anyway, after all the mumbling and grumbling, in between eating some raw steak, Maxwell takes the list out of his pocket. ""Alright, lets see here. We've got....""<i>12 tons of boron steel, a shit ton of copper wiring, plastics, ceramic plating, and some battle grade glass.</i>""Where in the hell does he expect me to find all of this?"" He looks around himself, at the surrounding city.<br/><br/>Well lets see here. Tall buildings, more tall buildings. Hmmm. Jeez, Maxwell doesn't really know what he's looking for. ""Well, lets try just looking around. Maybe asking some questions."" And so he does so. Asking the city people, who are all actually very very nice, he manages to find out where all the supplies are.<br/><br/>AND because we have better things to do here, for posterity's sake, lets just say that Maxwell bought everything, including some more food, and head back to the ship, with an UNREALISTICALLY large sack full of everything. (Mind you, this is at least a 15 ton sack. Shit's gigantic.)"
15434,Darashal -NMV,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18520-darashal-nmv,['Arena'],2014-05-15 08:50:00,LeeRoy,"When Maxwell left he dropped the gauntlets and whistles before him, telling him about his plan to have them welded on. Not quite yet, LeeRoy's got something else on his mind. With Maxwell gone he quickly rerouted all power to the medical bay, then got up from the console and dashed in there. The blue lights overcasting what was about to happen. LeeRoy tapped into a small pad on the wall and a tube with a fresh and strong clone floating inside. Barking out an order to the ball robot it complied with a few beeps and immediately rolling into action.<br/><br/>Stripping down to his birthday suit, the scientist himself laid down on the metal table and strapped himself in, this process would be even more painful than the jaw resetting. Inside the tube the fluid that suspended the clone drained out through the bottom, and the body limply flopped against the window. Ball robot opened up the window and caught LeeRoy's new body, strapping it into a chair nearby the table. It wheeled his new form up to the table with LeeRoy and strapped it into place. Neither of them needed to move during this process.<br/><br/>For the sake of not writing out gorey details, I'm just going to tell you what the robot did. It withdrew LeeRoy' spinal column, brainstem, and brain out from his old body, and place it inside of the new body. When that was finished the ball placed LeeRoy on the table face down. The machine that repaired his jaw now reset everything into this new body. Maxwell's return was still a few hours away, finding 12 tons of Boron steel isn't a quick process. Let alone hauling it.<br/><br/>By the time LeeRoy was back on his feet and redressed, Maxwell's return was still a half hour away. LeeRoy disposed of his old body into the tube and resealed the room.<br/><br/>Exiting the medical bay he felt stronger, so much stronger, this was to be expected. This new body was a supersoldier, it looked and moved the exact same as his old form. But it was exponentially more efficient.<br/><br/>Opting to not piss off Maxwell he went straight to the gauntlets and picked up the tubes, shaking them about and trying to figure out whether they would still work. The idea came to his head to blow in them. This was met with the surprising result of bubbles floating out of the hole, along with the screaming whistle. ""What?""<br/><br/>'What?'<br/><br/>LeeRoy checked inside to see if there was any trace of water or soap, or to be honest, anything. The scientist groaned with frustration, realizing, this isn't logical. ""This is magic.""<br/><br/>But! Maxwell requested that he weld them to his gauntlets. No problemo.<br/><br/>Within a few short minutes the task was completed, and the gauntlets were prepared to be used with the whistling bubble blowers.<br/><br/>Maxwell showed up with the fuckton of supplies shortly after completing the process, and LeeRoy smiled at the convenience. ""Just in time."""

""This look like enough shit to fix the ship? I got everything on the list. It sure was a good thing I was able to find everything. Almost too easy, honestly. Like, its kinda weird that I was able to find all of these incredibly specific things all in the same spot. It wouldn't be weird to find one or two, but all of them? Its a bit odd, if you ask me. But who cares I guess! This means you can start fixing the-"" Maxwell cuts off his sentence earlier, staring at LeeRoy intently.<br/><br/>""Did you get buffer while I was gone? You look buffer.""<br/><br/>Maxwell taps his chin. ""Hmmmm. There's something suspicious going on here. Did you wait until I was gone to do something weird?"" He drags the bag over to the front of the ship. ""I don't give a shit either way, its cool, you're a grown ass man."" He begins to shuffle through the bag, taking out all the steel and crap and setting it in a gigantic pile in front of LeeRoy.<br/><br/>""Alright friendo, lets get to work on this ship so we can get off this piece of shit planet. I'm bored to high hell and its time to get to brass tacks and beat someone up."" Finishing the emptying of the giant rucksack, he steps back, the ginormous pile standing above even himself. ""Well. I don't really know what to do here. I guess I'll just take directions from you on how to repair things.""<br/><br/>With all that said, Maxwell walks over to the table where his precious gauntlets are, complete with new train whistles. He smiles broadly, picking them up, and slipping them back onto his massive ham hands. He grins, and gives a few new test punches to see how they work, his fists making slicing noises as they whip through the air at 500 miles an hour. The air pressure from his hands alone is enough to more than ruffle LeeRoy's hair. As he punches, bubbles flood out of the whistles and into the air above him, creating a veritable cloud of the soapy substance above him. Not just regular bubbles either. These are golden bubbles, dense and heavy looking, warping more violently than any normal bubble ever could without popping. ""What the hell? Bubbles?"" Maxwell looks at them in confusion, though he laughs when he notices how dense they are. ""You've got to be kidding me! The Flame even covers bubbles huh? Well, I wonder what happens when I pop them them?"" Taking his sword out from its slot in his shield, Maxwell gives one good swing, the sword slicing through the air and the cloud of super dense bubbles like a chainsaw through tissue paper.<br/><br/>The bubbles pop, making no sound. ""Oh. Well that's a little underwhel-"" Maxwell is cut off by a sharp sucking noise as the spot where the bubbles were appears to pull in the area surrounding it ever so slightly. Then, with no warning, a colossal burst of sound screams out from the air, a horrifically loud train whistle. The pressure from the burst of air knocks the table over and knocks the sand out from the area directly under the bubble cloud. A shockwave of pressure accompanies it, blowing Maxwell's hair back and knocking off LeeRoy's glasses. Even Maxwell has to yell over the sound ""HOLY SHIIIIIIT"" Then, in a span of seconds, it's over. ""Well FUCK. That shit was like a sound bomb! Those are some insane bubbles!"""

That is the most useful spot for the materials needed to primarily repair the outside of the ship. Inside of his head he was chanting the most offensive swears he can think of towards large white humans. These are not at all for polite conversation, and no, I will not tell you what they are. However, he does not have time to actually voice his concerns towards the pile of shit. As Maxwell decided to test out his new bubble blowers, and then had the brilliant idea to pop them. As his glasses blew off of his face he put his hand to the left of his head, catching them without a second thought. Blood trickled out of his right ear, the sound had blown out his right eardrum.<br/><br/>Although it was well within reason for him to yell, it was comical to see Maxwell screaming for no reason. The sound had stopped and it was obvious that he had damaged his own ears. ""You're a genius, Maxwell. Let me get you a Nobel Prize for that one."" The only thing he could hear in his right ear was ringing, perhaps it was deep ear damage, might be a bit harder to fix. In his left ear he could hear just fine. ""Anyway, don't swing those inside the ship anymore!"" LeeRoy shouted, knowing that Maxwell wouldn't hear him otherwise. Looking up at Maxwell with his starch white eyes for a moment, admittedly grinning at the stupidity. For a moment he forgot that he wasn't wearing his glasses, and quickly realized when he didn't see the slight glare from his glasses. ""Oops."" Donning his glasses again he walked over to the medical bay and waved Maxwell back over. ""You'll be no help if you can't hear me, let me check how badly you've actually damaged your ears!""<br/><br/>Tapping a few buttons of the wall, the main console shut down and all emergency lights went out as well. The overhead light in the medical bay came on and illuminated the room properly, the table's tendrils slid back in as they were no longer online."

""Oh. Well that sucks. I appear to have gone deaf."" Maxwell's not the SHARPEST tool in the shed, but he's not a dumb guy either. He's lost his hearing more than once in his many battles across the span of space and time, you know, in the battles between armies, or fighting against soldiers with concussion or sound grenades or what have you. So now Maxwell stops yelling, since he's realized the sound has stopped, and now begins to speak very softly, knowing his yelling voice is SUPER obnoxious. ""Okay, so I'm deaf. That's great.""<br/><br/>Looking down at the train whistles, he notices something he did not before. Its a little switch. Flicking it, he sees that it closes the air hole that the sound would come out of. Giving a test punch, he smiles when no bubbles come out. ""okay cool. there's a little switch. fantastic. that's really useful."" He walks over to LeeRoy and up into the ship, over to the medical bay, following LeeRoy of course. It's LeeRoy's ship, so LeeRoy leads the way.<br/><br/>""okay so, don't actually say anything, cause I can't hear you either way, but when you fix my ears, is there someway to make my ear drums/lining stronger? the bubbles will be a real hassle if they make me go deaf every single time."" Maxwell can still hear himself, but he can't actually tell how loud he is, which is honestly a little amusing. because when I say his voice is quite, it is like, trying to speak in a room with a million sleeping babies."

As writing up a surgery, construction of a ship, and construction of a new suit of armor would take an unreasonable amount of time.<br/><br/>So a short summary of the events that happened.<br/><br/>LeeRoy operated on Maxwell's ears, using the table's wires to repair the damage to the eardrums and crafted two small earbuds that would prevent loud noises from damaging his ears. And also to prevent his ears from bleeding, that too is important. LeeRoy left his right ear disfunctional, simply because he didn't want to go through a third surgery today.<br/><br/>After completing the repairs on Maxwell's ears, he and Maxwell got to work on the ship. Two weeks and numerous arguments later, the ship was actually repaired back to its original glory.<br/><br/>With the remaining materials and a bit of reference from Maxwell, LeeRoy created a new and superior suit of armor to his old one. High quality and not stolen materials often leads to much higher quality equipment. The Mark VII suit is finished.<br/><br/>Now we're at the end of the skip, and LeeRoy has put on all but his helmet, he's about to test out the jetpack.<br/><br/>Stepping out of the ship he slides the helmet onto his head and braces his feet against he ground, spacing them evenly apart.

The view wasn't encouraging.<br/>The deep-water harbour was a little way ahead. The quayside was intact, as was the equipment and the buildings, for the most part, which was what he had counted on when bargaining passage here from Papua New Guinea, and getting away from the chaos raging through the country there as the remains of the government fought a bloody war with internal dissidents and elements of the NWA. He'd picked up the trail that other allied forces might've passed through this region, and there were airstrips here. But he hadn't seen or heard anything, and now the sight of the slate-grey destroyer sitting at rest there, and the Submarine parked further out.<br/>Most worrying about the situation though was the flag stirring gently in the breeze from the mast of the ship - the stylised swastika in a white circle on a blood-red field... the symbol of the NWA.<br/>He cast a glance back over his shoulder at the old man who'd driven him this far on the rusty old fishing boat. He shook his head slightly giving a crooked apologetic smile. His skin was naturally dark, but years spent working in the sun had darkened it further. There was no doubt that he had a lot to fear from the NWA, and he couldn't blame the man for wanting to stay here. Nonetheless, he had to get onto the island to look for a way further on, and going back would be no help either, at this stage.<br/>Looking back toward the man, he dug into an inside pocket on his BDU jacket, withdrawing a wedge of money.<br/><br/>A short while later, he paddled the small boat to the shore, and dragged it up the beach, tugging it out of sight and hiding it under palm fronds.<br/>Changed out of his BDU's and dressed in inconspicuous civvies, he walked carefully and slowly along a path from the beach toward the outskirts of Buka.<br/>The town had been the capital of Bougainville following a civil war before - and during - WW3, but the war had found the island after ships had sheltered there and aircraft had transited through, and had been the site of battles. The evidence showed itself, as he passed an area of burned out jungle with the wreck of a Blackhawk at the centre.<br/><br/>The town beyond was similarly damaged and dishevelled. The majority of the buildings remained standing, but many were ragged with bullet-holes, or had missing parts of roofs, or smashed glass in windows. There were signs of life, but no one was out on the street to see him walk past.<br/>As he approached the quays, he slowed down. There were armed men at the edge of the docks in small numbers, wearing dark uniforms in tropical cuts. Notably, all of them were white.<br/>Opposite them were - he imagined - members of the submarine crew and its' captain. Their uniforms were light in colour, but had no insignia attached. The captain carried a briefcase, while the man opposite him had a pair laid out on the tailgate of a pickup.<br/>Hesitating, Bryan surveyed the scene and then walked closer. One of the black-clad men blocked his path with a hand out.<br/>""Hold it,"" he said ""What're you doing here? Turn around and walk on"".<br/>""Sorry,"" said Bryan with an open smile, as his eyes darted around at the group. ""I was just wandering - where am I, could you tell me? I'm a little lost"".<br/>The submarine captain glanced over at him, and answered, his hands folded.<br/>""Yer on Bougainville Island. And if you know what's good for you and you wanna stay out of trouble, you might as well turn around and get the hell out of-""<br/>Bryan caught a movement behind him. The Captains' XO had drawn his pistol and raised it. Reacting reflexively, Bryan yanked his P-226 out of the waistband of his pants, and fired, catching the XO in the arm, and shoving the NWA soldier away. The others opened up as the XO shot the captain in the back. Diving past the men around him, he snagged the briefcase from the captains' hand, and pounded across the tarmac, wincing as a bullet creased his sleeve. Behind him, the gunfight erupted between the Sub crew and the NWA forces, as bullets snapped through the air around him.<br/>Bryan yelled and ran into cover, sliding down a muddy bank and slipping around the side of a van, the briefcase still banging against his thighs as he ran.<br/>Panting, he dived into cover in a ditch, and one thought crossed his mind:<br/><i>Why the hell am I doing this?</i><br/><br/>Back at the dock, the NWA leader kicked the body of the dead submarine captain and glared at the XO<br/>""Who was that man? And where the hell is he going with those detonators and decoders? Is this some kind of double-cross?""<br/>""I assure you, I have no interest in double-crossing you. I've been feeding the captain information for weeks, and most of the crew is on my side. We guided him here with the aim of getting your money in exchange for the detonators, and it wasn't easy. I have no interest in screwing you over now. We just need to find that man!""<br/>The NWA commander turned around and beckoned a radio man closer. Lifting the handset, he spoke words rapidly and in short commands into the handset, before replacing it with a grimace.<br/>""If he's out there, we'll find him - our men and their allies will scour the island to find him, and anyone else who's with him. We need those detonators. And if we don't get them back...""<br/>His eyes fell upon the XO with a cold gaze, and he shivered under the look. The meaning was clear.<br/><br/>Bryan shouldered his way onward through the jungle. Leaving the roads behind had seemed like a good idea, but the going was hard, even if there was something of a trail. Not to mention, the heat was sapping his strength as much as the wound on his arm, and the weight he was carrying between his heavily packed kit bag and the briefcase.<br/>Pausing, he heard no evidence of pursuit, and took a moment to take a few gulps of water from a bottle he'd secreted in his kit bag. Crouching, he flicked open the case and his eyes widened.<br/>""Holy shit,"" he muttered as his eyes roved over the boxy shapes of the detonators. Special Weapons (as the euphemism went) weren't exactly part of his training, but between the submarine and the amount of people shooting each other, he could make connections.<br/>He was in over his head.<br/>But letting the NWA, neo-Nazi genocidal cult army that they were, get hold of them, would not end well for anyone. Making a decision, he stuff the detonators into his kit bag, and filled the briefcase with rocks from the jungle floor. Scrambling to his feet, he ran on, heading north-east.<br/><br/>Around the island, the roads and trails came to life with growling engines and shouting men as the NWA forces scoured the area for Bryan, and for the missing detonators. Anyone in their path was a suspect - and anyone else, was a target."

His bag was near by in a small hole he dug covered with leaves as he him self was in a make shift snipers nest. It was barley large enough to fit him as it also had his rifle. But it also hid him from view as any one passing by wouldn't give it a second glance. He lifted up a small not pad, on it was trajectory calculations, the range from where he was to the pier 2986m, humidity from local weather over the next few days as well as a distance vs wind speed notch count for quick reference. He liked to keep the information fresh in his mind, he also really wished that hunk of junk AB Computer was working. Leaning his head he looked through the scope of his Cheytech Intervention. The SN-9 optics allowed for a 42x magnification as he peered down down the scope looking at the dock. He watched as the captain of the sub was on the pier.<br/><br/>He had arrived several days prior, that Chinese ship dropped him off and he found passage from a small fishing vessel onto the island. He had worked with the submarine commander before, his unit deploying off of the sub, It was how they got into Russia in the first place. The captain had told him that he though something was up with his crew, and as such asked Ghost to keep a watch full eye. Feeling the NWA was up so something he agreed and took found a position n the mountain. There he had waited for almost two days now, laying there in his small shelter as he leaned his canteen up taking a small sip. It was mostly rain water from the night before but it wasn't going to kill him. There was something going on as that NWA ship pulled in early in the morning. He lowered his head, thirty minutes, he would get thirty minutes of sleep. His eyes closed.<br/><br/>After years of training his eyes opened up almost thirty minutes later as he peered down the scope of his rifle to check on the situation once more. There was some man at the main gate as he looked over at the flag, watching it flutter in the wind some, two knots. He looked at his card as he heard a feint popping sound of distant gun fire. His eye returned to his scope quickly as the scene was unfolding below him. He cursed as he watched as the captain fell down in a pool of his blood, soon that stranger dove forward into the fray nabbing that briefcase as he raised up his scope, four notches down, two to the right. He took in a deep breath and squeezed a loud bang of his rifle firing as he only had the flash suppressor on. Less then a half a second later a man fell back falling to the ground with a hole in his chest as he pulled back the bolt of his rifle cambering another round, the action was automatic and quick after years of training. He shifted his scope, a soldier had a gun trained on the the man that had taken the brief case, another breath another squeeze of the trigger and that man fell back his gun firing uselessly and missing the man as he pulled his bolt back to chamber another round.<br/><br/>He shifted his view, he found the man running off with the briefcase, watching him as there were a few NWA hot on his tail. He waited watching them as one stopped looking around to try to find the man who took the case, only to drop down with a hole in his chest. The other was chasing after the man and gaining some, it wouldn't be long before the two were out of his sight as he had to act fast. He did some quick calculations, as he squeezed, the man took a round to the back falling down to the ground as he lost sight of the man with the case in the jungle.<br/><br/>He shifted back looking over at the submarine but it was to late, the XO and NWA leader were gone and there were no more targets of opportunity. He was done here, he stood up rising out of his earthen hide as he picked up his canteen and his note bad before moving over to his back and pulling it out of the ground. Putting canteen on an outside pocket and his not pad inside he slung it over his back and lifted up his rife. The SEAL sniper wore all black, his face painted with grease as he wore an all black helmet with his GPNVG-18 goggles flipped up, the only mark on his uniform was simply the words ""Ghost Reaper"" over his left chest. He started to move through the forest. That case held the detonators for the missiles on board of that boat, fully loaded it had enough nukes to destroy the world several times over.<br/><br/>Ghost moved quickly, traveling through the jungle staying away from the main roads. He traveled in the general direction of the man, but the only hope of catching up was if he made camp for the night, and if he was smart there wouldn't actually be a camp which would make finding him more difficult, but it would allow Ghost time to catch up."

I shouldn't drag an old fisherman this far from home.""<br/><br/>Cindy sat next to the old Asian man, as he manned the ship and sailed it through the ocean. He turned to her, and flashed a toothy smile, and tried to speak, as best as his broken English would allow. ""You save my wife. I owe you. No problem."" Cindy smiled warmly, and casually spoke back. ""That one was on the house, for giving me a roof over my head these last couple of days. Man, I can't believe this war has been going on for twenty years. It just won't end..."" Making a checklist of all her gear, Cindy prepared to land. That's when the captain spoke up again:<br/><br/>""Uh, lady? We may have trouble."" Towards the island they had approached, were some ships moored, big ones. Cindy took out her binoculars and inspected them. She couldn't tell their make, as she wasn't a naval person, but the flags caught her eye. Swastikas. ""Whaa... Nazis?"" She checked again. Maybe this was a forgotten naval base from WWII? But no, there were armed men everywhere, it was still very much operational. With a sigh, she turned to the captain. ""Look, you've helped me so much, but I need another favor. Something seriously fucked up is going on, and I need to get to that island. Can you find somewhere hidden from view to land the ship?""<br/><br/>The captain nodded. ""No problem"". And with that, he changed his heading, and made his way to a small cove away from the naval base.<hr/>They arrived, with little incident, and Cindy prepared to disembark. War has made some people drop of the deep end, that's for sure, but Nazis? That didn't make any sense. Never-the-less, she jumped off the side, and started to wade towards shore. She turned back to the fisherman, and waved, shouting ""Now, get out of here as fast as you can, and thank you so much. Let your family know I said goodbye too!"" Shouting back farewell, the fisherman turned his ship around, and started to get out of the cove as fast as the boat would go. not wanting to run into any of the soldiers.<br/><br/>With the good byes concluded, Cindy finished wading and checked her gear, to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Alright, now let's get to the bottom of this mystery, she wondered aloud, and tied a bandanna over her face and put on some goggles. Once all prepared, she drew her FA88, and proceeded to march into the forest, ready for anything now. Or so she thought."

She slowly got up, only to bump her head against the ceiling of the cramped lifeboat. For a brief moment, she had forgotten how she had ended up in the boat, but as she shook off the morning drowsiness, it came back to her. She had been hitching a ride on a cargo vessel bound for the United States when it was attack by NWA naval vessels. She was one of the few that was able to get into a lifeboat before the cargo vessel quickly sank. The lifeboat was a standard one found on most merchant vessels, equipped with supplies for a few days and an engine that could slowly but surely propel the vessel. Now with the past events more vivid and the aching of her head, Alika put together in her mind that she was probably knocked unconscious when the lifeboat had hit the water. Sighing, she got up into the small driver's seat and peered out the window. Only a few miles away, she spotted a shoreline. Thinking that her luck had finally come through, she quickly figured out how to start the engine and began to pilot the small vessel towards the island.<hr/>A few long hours later, the small lifeboat landed on the shores of the island. Alika quickly checked her gear and climbed out of the cramped vessel eagerly. Wading to shore, she entered the dense jungle forest and began to trudge along through the undergrowth, hoping to find civilization or a suitable place to camp. As a precaution, she pulled her small UGV out of her backpack and placed it on the ground, then pulled out her touch pad.<br/><br/>""Alright little guy! Let's get you all started up now.... and done.... VOICE CHECK..... yep that registered.... Alright! You're gonna walk with me and alert me of any contacts! Setting you to hold your fire since your people skills aren't the best... and we're good!"" she put away her tablet and began to walk as the small drone kept pace a few feet in front of her. Due to its dark color and relatively small size, the drone was fairly concealed in the underbrush of the jungle."

He'd been on the Island ever since the NWA had shot down the transport he'd been on, the lone survivor. The first missile hit had been bad enough, knocking out an engine and tearing a hole in the wing. Just before making what Kyle had thought at the time was a pretty damn good crash landing on the beach a second missile finished what the first had started and tore the wing off. The pilots died when the aircraft slammed into the ground and the rest of the passengers were killed when a pallet full of aid supplies broke loose and smashed through the seating section. Kyle escaped with his gear minutes before the NWA soldiers showed up to scavenge from the wreckage. He'd returned days later. Thankfully the bodies had been taken away. Taking some food that had been missed and whatever else he could scavenge, Kyle escaped into the jungle.<br/><br/>His camp was little more than a tarp spread across a deep gulley and covered with brush, invisible from the outiside. He'd made a hammock to keep himself dry and off the ground. He had little doubt that they knew that he was on the island, the disappearances of more than one patrol over the last year had seen to that although he suspected that he wasn't the only thing that the patrols had to watch out for. He swatted away an insect and get out of the hammock when he couldn't get comfortable again. He picked up his RPK and began to get ready to break camp. It was well past time he should look again for a way off the island."

The wound on his arm was beginning to hurt, throbbing and tingling as he went, and the sleeve of the shirt he'd thrown on was stained red around the gunshot wound.<br/>Nonetheless, he struggled on, before finally coming across a small clearing with a couple of ramshackle buildings around the outskirts. It looked like a construction site of sorts, abandoned when the war broke out. Making a quick decision, he darted behind a pile of earth bordering a trench dug for foundations. Dumping his heavy bag behind a nearby half-finished wall, he grabbed a spade and the bag with the detonators in, and dug deeper into the bottom of the trench. Digging a deep but fairly even hole, he glanced around and his eyes fell upon a steel toolbox. cramming the detonators in, he placed the box in the hole, and then buried the package, stamping the earth flat evenly along the bottom of the trench, and dumping the excess with the pile of dug-out earth nearby.<br/>Task done, he dragged himself into the cover of one of the buildings and changed clothes, putting back on his BDU's and his load-bearing gear. The natives were not friendly, and it was time to defend himself and try to make some impact on the enemy - or find help.<br/>He'd heard plenty of shots while running, and there'd been little pursuit. Something had put off the bad guys; maybe he already had help? And there must be some opposition to the NWA in the area. Memorising the location, he took one last look around, and then turned and headed deeper into the jungle, moving quietly and cautiously, MP-5 held loosely in both hands as he moved through the thick tree-trunks and undergrowth.<br/>Pausing, he felt his head swim, and his arms droop with the effort of holding the SMG as his arm throbbed. Leaning against a tree for stability, he winced and fought against the sudden weight of his eyelids, before forcing himself to stand up as he heard movement ahead.<br/>Ducking into cover, he crouched behind a stand of shrubs. A soft electronic whining sounded, and he craned his neck out slightly, and raised an eyebrow as a small robotic drone entered the clearing. Half-raising his MP-5, he tried to take aim cautiously, but instead his vision wavered again, and the Canadian passed out unconscious."

It had been an hour or two of walking and still very little sign of anyone. She sighed from boredom when suddenly the drone halted. She pulled out her pad and checked what the drone had seen. There was a potential contact up ahead, but there wasn't any sure way to tell in the humid jungle. The warm air rising off the floor and the different conditions meant that Alika would have to re-calibrate the thermal camera in her drone before it could pick up heat signatures from humans, thus it was relying entirely on visual and audio contact.<br/><br/>""I swear to god K7, if its another fucking bird I'm going to punt you across this island."" she grumbled quietly as they now more cautiously approached the contact. Alika took cover behind a tree and motioned her drone to move up. As the drone entered the clearing, Alika gasped at what she saw on her tablet. A soldier, much more western looking than that of the NWA, was just barley aiming an MP-5 at the drone before he slowly passed out and collapsed next to a tree he had been leaning on. The drone quickly scanned the area before Alika quickly rushed up to the man. She began to check him over, then discovered that this was a Canadian soldier.<br/><br/>""Huh... your a long way from home..."" she mumbled to herself as she inspected his condition. She found he had a nasty cut along his arm. She deduced that the bloody cut, along with the heavy gear he wore, was probably what led him to passed out. Many questions began to race through her head, but she shook them off and decided treating the man first was top priority. First she removed the load bearing vest, helmet, and BDU jacket to help cool him off. Then she took her Camel Pack off and began to rinse the cut, getting any viable dirt or sweat out of it. Her brief searching in his bags revealed he was carrying a first aid kit. Taking some of the disinfectant powdered out, Alika sprinkled some on the wound before taking a clean bandage and wrapping it. She sighed, taking a seat a few feet in front of him and held her gun pointed at him.<br/><br/>""K7, engage on my command."" She said, then motion the drone to hide in the brush to the man's right a few feet away. While she was fairly certain that this man wasn't hostile, she didn't want to take any chances. Alika waited for the man to regain consciousness."

After two hours of moving through the forest the patrols of the NWA were starting to get more frequent. He must be getting close, staying low he looked up as the sun was setting, this was good as it was getting darker he would gain the advantage.<br/>""Shit man where the fuck is this guy"" a voice coming from his right,<br/>""Fuck man I don't know"" Another said.<br/>""Man we'll never find him in the dark we should head back to the truck""<br/>""Man I don't want to be cramped in the back of that stupid truck any longer then I have too.""<br/>""yea but once we get back to town there were some decent looking wet holes for slant eyes""<br/>There was a laugh coming from them. ""Man we haven't been out that long have we""<br/>""He man I got to piss, be right back"" a third voice.<br/><br/>As they spoke Ghost moved around them, staying low and behind some trees he had the three in sight. Good they haven't found the man who took those detonators. He watched them for a moment, waiting for them to pass from his hiding spot as the third man came back. ""God this is so pointless, we'll never find anyone in this fucking jungle."" He heard one say as they started to walk off. Ghost would of laughed, if he was the laughing sort, and not surrounded by hostiles. It seamed that no matter where you were the common soldier's best skill was complaining<br/><br/>Once they were clear he moved again, looking around the jungle. He liked jungles, air support was all but useless, the nights were pitch black. You could hide and move an army in them lord knows Africa has mastered that. It was a simpler kind of war, Where it wasn't the biggest stick that one, but the softest step. As he moved through that jungle he looked to his right, a phantom moving along side of him, Petty officer third class Ricko. He was a good kid, it was his first field assignment. Ghost and his team were to track down an African warlord who had been helping the ""Axis"" move troops and supplies through the jungles of Africa supplying the enemies to the north. They spent almost two months in that jungle, Playing cat and mouse with Guerrillas until they finally got some one that would talk. It was a grueling mission, everything in that jungle was trying to kill you. Ricko didn't make it.<br/><br/>Damian stopped him self, pulling out a flask he kept he took a sip, the burn of whiskey rolling down his throat. He had lost a lot of friends over the years, and he often wondered what became of Jayson, they had tried to keep in touch but with them both always being deployed. Damian shook his head and closed his eyes taking a moment. This wasn't the time nor the place for this. To many ghost haunt his memories, He took another sip of his whiskey before screwing the lid on and tucking it away. Damian took in a deep breath.<br/><br/>Ghost opened his eyes, those cold as ice blue hues looked forward. He had a mission, stop the NWA from getting those detonators at all cost. That meant finding the man who took them. He moved with a purpose. Quickly and silently through the jungle as he looked around. He had to be getting close."

There was a loud BANG followed by clattering of mechanical parts and the engine cutting out - heard too, across to where Kyle had set up his camp - and the vehicle ground to a halt.<br/>The tailgate dropped on the cargo vehicle, and the NWA soldiers riding the truck hopped down, while those in the cab did likewise.<br/>""What's the delay?"" the officer riding up front asked, as one of the soldiers examined the engine. ""Why have we stopped now? We need to get the cargo off this island, especially if there's someone running around here and they've captured those code boxes. Black Jewel can't be bought into operation without the cargo.""<br/>""I know, sir,"" replied the soldier examining the engine. ""This'll take a while to repair - and that's if we've got the parts. I'll get to work-""<br/>""Just do it,"" replied the officer with disgust, before signalling to the others to form a perimeter.<br/>A voice from in back of the truck spoke up. ""Where are we? Why have we stopped?""<br/>""Shut up,"" replied the officer curtly to the female voice. ""Sit still and be quiet Doctor DeWinter. And don't make any trouble"".<br/>The officer stood in front of the trucks' tailgate, his arms folded, as he spoke into his radio, advising command of his situation. The rest of the patrol began to spread out and cover the truck from all approaches, while the men worked to repair it.<br/><br/>Bryan jumped and stirred. Looking around in a panic for a moment, he slowly adjusted to the situation and saw the drone again, and then the woman a short way behind. Blinking rapidly, his memory came back and he looked down at his arm.<br/>""Who are you?"" he said after a moment. ""Did... you fix my arm? Is this your robot?"" He asked, pressing one hand to his forehead and wincing, before looking at Alika again."

Gingerly pressing on the green answer button, he put it up to his ear as he took cover behind a tree and crouched down, making sure to keep his pistol at the ready. ""Iseul here."" He hastily spoke, not wanting to make much noise. ""The infiltration was a success it seems. How's the plane?""<br/><br/>""It managed to leave the airspace without any trouble, thanks to the altitude. Pretty good HALO jump if you ask me. Have you done this before?"" An associate of his client, speaking with a south east Asian accent answered him. Kyung smirked at this.<br/><br/>""In a different time and a different place, with a different name. Anyway, how about you give me the details on the objective?""<br/><br/>""His plane went down about a click north of your current position. It's probably crawling with NWA, but I'll need a few numbers from the plane for the time being. Be ready for anything getting over there. It's mostly jungle and the plane crashed in a clearing, but the NWA have probably set up a perimeter around the area. Any questions?"" The South Korean commando silently thought it over for a moment before asking a question about the target. ""I'll read from the file. Alright, he's a JASDF pilot of little fame, named Aoi Kurotsugi. He deserted shortly after his unit was 'sold' to our private army. We have not an idea about his reasons, but it is essential that we capture him.""<br/><br/>""Why?"" Kyung asked in regards to the essential nature of capturing the pilot.<br/><br/>""Classified information. Now then, I think you have a mission to get on with. Keep in mind that throughout the mission, you will have no support from us. The phone cannot call us, as the number will change every time. Once you have captured Kurotsugi, proceed to Buka Town for extraction. When you get there a man posing as a NWA soldier will guide you to a boat that will take you to our nearest base in Polynesia. Good luck."" Without even waiting for Kyung to respond, the call was ended. He put the phone back in his pocket with a shrug and put his pistol and knife in his hand as he looked around the area. From his ridge position, he could easily see the smoke bellowing from the crash site and an NWA convoy moving along a road towards a coastal town in the distance that Kyung assumed was Buka Town. Taking a look at his watch, he made note of the midday hour before beginning his descent down the ridge. Carefully keeping away from parts that looked like they would easily give away, he reached the bottom of the ridge with little problems and began a walk towards the crash site, keeping an eye out for NWA troops.<br/><br/>Being only a short distance away, the trip took little time and Kyung found no resistance until reaching the clearing. At least ten NWA soldiers walked in the area, patrolling around the plane as they awaited it to be taken away. Kyung took a position in a bush and decided on his course of action for clearing the area. Immediately, he took note of a soldier standing precariously close to a bush from where Kyung could easily grab him. He also took note of a particularly large spider making its web on a tree nearby and a plan hatched in his mind. Holstering his pistol and sheathing his knife, he quietly moved over to the bush. He waited for the soldier to let down his guard in his figure before grabbing him from behind, holding his mouth closed and hitting the safety on his rifle as he pulled him away from the smoky clearing. Along the way, Kyung put the man down on the ground, having fainted from a heavy hit Kyung had placed on his head. Kyung estimated that the man would awake in only a few minutes considering the hit and build of the soldier, so he took little time in picking up the spider and placing it on the man's chest, quickly returning to the opposite edge of the circular clearing right after.<br/><br/>When the spider reached the face of the man, a scream erupted from outside of the clearing and six of the troops went out the clearing, leaving only three watching the opposite edge of the clearing to Kyung. Removing his Pentax Optio W60 digital camera from his fatigues, he moved out of the brush to take pictures of the plane's markings. Remarkably, the plane was in excellent condition despite the crash and the serial numbers and markings were as clear as day. It was an F-15J Kai, a modernized version of the F-15J Eagle used by the Japanese Air Self Defense Force, as evidenced by the modifications around the intakes. Kyung took multiple pictures of the markings on the wings, fuselage, vertical stabilizers before quietly moving to the other side to take photos of the rest of the plane. Returning to the side without any NWA patrolling, he climbed up to the cockpit to look for any clues in his search.<br/><br/>The first thing he noticed was the tell tale signs of blood on the ejection seat and the fact that the ejection seat hadn't been ejected, telling him that the pilot had obviously left after the plane crashed. It was now that Kyung noticed a very faint trail of blood leading away from the plane. Aside from this obvious way of tracking down his target, he also observed the instruments, but being used to the F-15A variant of the plane, he found himself somewhat lost due to the F-15J being a variation on the F-15C, which made for quite a few changes compared to the plane he had once flown over Afghanistan. Shaking his head, he descended from the cockpit, but suddenly, a voice rang out. ""You there, freeze!"" Kyung jumped off the cockpit and took cover behind the plane as the soldier opened fire. The ruined Eagle took most of the fire, but Kyung still took no time in dashing towards the brush, shots ringing out from behind him. He was heavily out-numbered, so he sprinted into the jungle, not looking where he was going and continued running until he was sure that he had lost the troops. Breathing heavily, his older body was practically screaming at him.<br/><br/>Kyung fell to his hands and knees and spent a good minute catching his breath before raising himself with a groan and detaching his AKS-74U from the strap he had been holding it on. In the distance, he could hear sounds of searching as the NWA troops moved towards him. Breaking into a jog, he began to head further away from the crash site, the short carbine in hand and not looking behind or below him as he escaped the enemies. It was thus how he suddenly found his feet tied thanks to a trap laid on the ground. His face hit the dirt with a thud and his weapon landed out of reach.<br/><br/>""Anatahadaredearu kamo shirenai?"" Kyung was surprised to hear a voice speak in Japanese from behind him. However, unknowing of the Japanese language, he remained silent. The unknown person seemed to be reasonably ticked off by him not answering and was kicked in the back as his captor yelled at him, ""Darekaga anata ni shitsumon o suru toki imaimashī Nachisu, kotaeru!""<br/><br/>""English.. do you speak English?"" Kyung muttered as he recovered from the kick. His captor gasped as he realized that Kyung wasn't one of the NWA as he noticed his uniform and accent.<br/><br/>""God! I thought you were a Nazi! Who are you?"" The man quickly began cutting the cords as Kyung responded. He spoke fluent English, to Kyung's appreciation.<br/><br/>""Kyung Sang Iseul. I presume you're Aoi Kurotsugi?"" He pushed himself up when he was unleashed from the trap and looked at his captor. A short man, he was wearing a black and green flight suit with orange highlights and the Japanese flag on his left shoulder, and he still had his helmet on; white of color with a single orange star decorating it. Curiously, from what Kyung could see under the helmet, his target had a rather effeminate face. He also had bandages across his forehead and right eye and on his right forearm where he had removed his glove, revealing a dainty looking hand.<br/><br/>""That's me. How do you know my name?"" Kyung carefully considered his words as he shook the bare hand of the pilot.<br/><br/>""I'm here to rescue you."" A look of unease took to the pilot's face as he removed his helmet, letting some mid-length hair fall down, held back by the bandages.<br/><br/>""Do I really need rescuing?"" Aoi said, turning around. ""Honestly, I'd rather continue to Australia."" Kyung sighed, not especially wanting to argue, but also not wanting to reveal the true purpose of him being there.<br/><br/>""Fine. I know a guy in Buka Town who can take us there. You have a weapon?"" Aoi gave a slight expression of distrust before answering his latter question.<br/><br/>""Just my P220. Mind passing me that M1?"" Aoi gestured to the rifle slung on Kyung's back. He shrugged as he checked the rifle.<br/><br/>""Can you shoot with your injuries?""<br/><br/>""Of course. I'm a lefty shooter and besides, I shoot better than most guys in the<i>Rikujō Jieitai</i>. I'll lead the way to Buka. I got my bearings pretty well before crashing."" The Japanese pilot gave off an air of confidence as he was handed the rifle, which he slung over his back before taking the extra magazines. Kwan nodded and Aoi began walking confidently ahead and he followed in turn, shouldering his AKS-74U which he had recovered from the ground. They walked in silence, so Kwan decided to look over the pilot. His stare quickly fell to how he walked.<br/><br/><i>There's something peculiar about it, but I just can't place what it is...</i>He thought to himself. Aoi then turned around and looked at him, before sneering and confidently jeering. ""Who're you looking at, Mister Iseul?""<br/><br/>""Nothing, let's keep going. We'll stop in a bit to try to find food and drink. You hungry?"" The pilot made a bothered look and kept walking as he responded.<br/><br/>""I'm kind of peckish."" He said in a quiet tone, almost inaudible as a group of jet-black helicopters passed overhead. They both ducked in near synchronization and they spent a good minute on the ground before rising up again and silently continuing their walk. As they marched, Kwan kept a watchful scan of the jungle, looking for any dangers. Suddenly, he noticed a man and a woman a few dozen meters away, with an advanced looking machine with them. Silently, he moved up behind Aoi and tapped him on the shoulder and gestured towards the soldiers. He then gestured to a covered position nearby and after nodding, Aoi dashed over to this position. At the same time, Kwan quietly began to move towards the trio.<br/><br/>Once he was in audible range, he briskly spoke. ""All three of you, don't move an inch! I've got a... erm... sniper, watching this area. Tell me who you all are and no one will get hurt."" He menacingly bared his AKS-74U and he saw the equally menacing glare of the scope from the rocks where Aoi had positioned himself. ""I'm not with the NWA, if you're wondering."" Kwan tried to assure them, hoping to gain an ally or two, but he quickly realized that baring weapons and threatening them wasn't the best way of doing so.<i>I'll put the weapon down once I know who they are...</i>He thought to himself as he looked the strangers over, awaiting their responses."

He dropped to a crouch and raised the RPK-74 to his shoulder, a thirty round magazine already loaded. after a second he decided that it was far enough away for him to be safe for the moment but close enough for whatever it was to pose an eventual threat. He slid one arm out of his packs straps, ready to drop it at a moments notice. Taking a few seconds to get a more exact direction, he set off down the mountain slope, avoiding where he'd gone previously to take care not to create enough of a disturbance to leave a trail.<br/><br/>Getting closer to the road, he dropped to his stomach, nearly invisible in the undergrowth. he crept forward carefully until he had eyes on the vehicle. He shrugged off his bag and moved it slowly behind a tree. Still being careful not to disturb anything, he inched himself in the other direction until he was mostly hidden behind a tree trunk. His search and rescue training made him naturally suited to finding things in the forest and equally adept at not being found. He'd had little chance to apply it to his time in the cities of Europe but he was now in his element.<br/><br/>He held his fire for the time being, peering over the sights at the soldiers almost three hundred meters distant. He was content to watch for the moment, it was safer to hold his fire when he was outnumbered like this. they seemed content to stay near the truck for now. He'd have to fire if they expanded their perimeter towards his position. He could have made his way around the truck but he stayed where he was. The patrol seemed unusually disciplined and he wondered at the way one of the officers stood near the cargo area of the vehicle."

Soon enough though he heard people talking as he stopped and sank lowered himself. He listened for a bit as he looked on, some one asking if the other bandaged them up, and another announcing he wasn't NWA, only there was a slight accent to his speech that made ghost think one look at him and you could tell he wasn't NWA. He decided to keep a distance for now, backing up slowly he turned and shifted looking around finding where the landscape stared to rise and headed off in that direction. After a few moments he was out of ear shot, no longer able to hear them, and more importantly, nobody could hear him. He looked around, then looked up as he looked a tree...perfect he thought. He removed his back pack, and stashed it in a bush near by so that it couldn't be seen.<br/><br/>He climbed that tree, using branches he ascended nearly fifteen feet into the air where the tree trunk split, climbing up into that nook he lowered down, his body conforming to the tree. He really wished he had a gilly suite right now. But for now he stuck close to the tree, his uniform all black he was high enough that at a glance he would be un-noticed, and from a distance it would be hard to see him. He pulled his rife up and rested it on a branch in front of him for support as he looked down the scope. He pulled in the zoom to 10x magnification as he looked down. He estimated he was mabye 100 meters away, wind was low and not a factor and gravity wouldn't play a big factor, maybe a few centimeters down from the center. There was a small hood over his scope that stopped any lens flare as it covered the glass with a shadow.<br/><br/>Moving his rifle he scanned the small group, the man in fatigues was wounded, he wasn't able to get a good look at him from his view point in the jungle earlier, but something told him this was the man he was looking for, a gut feeling. There was a woman, and an Asian man as well. One thing he new, they weren't NWA. Moving his scope once more he caught the sun reflecting off of a scope further back as he shifted up to see the man in a pilots helmet with what looked like an old M1. Though from the markings, he was looked like a Japanese pilot, so not NWA. Despite this the only knew two things for certain, they weren't NWA, and they had a bunch of detonators for nukes. Watching that Mexican stand off from a distance he moved his scope training it on the Asian man.<br/><br/>He wasn't to worried about the others, the girl and wounded man were to the left and right and if they turned to look at the Asian they would be looking away from him. He could simply tell by the way the Pilot held the rifle that he wasn't a threat, he had the barrel sticking out of the rocks, how his hand held the barrel like a machine gun to keep that rapid fire steady, instead of holding the butt of the rifle it to slightly guide the rifle for smooth motion. He probably wouldn't know how to properly adjust for bullet drop, He guessed that it was the more imposing mans rifle, and also meant it was sighted for him. Though That M1A was a good rifle, it was not a factor as it is useless in the hands of that pilot at any distance past maybe 15 meters. So for now he watched through his scope, if anything they would start shooting each other and he wouldn't have to worry about killing any of them."

It was unfortunate to think that the small fishing boat had been seen, but it was more than likely it had, for this base was definitely in active duty, and would be sweeping the area for any intruders if they did catch sight of their entrance. She was thinking back to briefing prior to the Burma placement, to try and recall any key mention of extremists operating in the area. This war had certainly broken many a people, and made them take up ideologies that could justify their need to lash out against, something, anything that scared them more than they already were. Cindy herself had given up hope of seeing her home again any time soon, and thought she would snap at some point. But for now, that wasn't an option. Not when you could be captured at any moment.<br/><br/>It was then that a pierce bang reverberated through the jungle, and made her duck reflexively. More likely a car engine giving out, it lacked the distinctive crack of a firearm. No doubt more nazis, Cindy thought wildly. To keep from blowing her cover, she slapped mud on her fatigues, and pulled leaves off a nearby buysh to add to the camo effect. After five minutes, she started to head to a clearing, towards the noise, dropping to the ground and crawling on her stomach. Stealthily, she took up a spot, and observed some men busy at work fixing their truck. Almost unreasonably, she half-expected them to be wearing the familiar, grey fatigues and falcon badges of soldiers from WW2, but wasn't surprised when they resembled a more ragtag, hastily formed militia. Most likely a splinter faction than a fully fledged military power. She observed a little longer, and then made her way back into the bushes, and made a wide circle around them. No point starting a fight you can't win.<br/><br/>CRACK! Without warning, Cindy felt the familiar pain of a forceful blow to the back of her head, like the one she received during a nasty bar fight in some Burmese piss hole. That was the last thing she remembered of the rifle butt to the back of her skull, before coming to tied up by her wrists, on the ground, and surrounded by the truck soldiers from before. Damn. Head wracked with pain like the morning after a heavy night out, she let out a small laugh. ""That's no way to treat a lady, you know?""<br/><br/>""Shut up, slut,"" was the response from the nearest soldier, who accompanied the response with a sharp kick to the stomach, which made her grunt. ""Don't say shit, or I'll blow your fucking brains out!""<br/><br/>""Ooh, tough guy, eh?"" She was dragged to her knees, and swung a hay maker into her jaw, causing her head to snap to the side. She spit out an ever-so-slight stream of blood from her mouth, smiling with scarlet stained teeth. ""Nice punch. Let me outta these ropes, and I'll show you how you really punch a girl..."" She joked, winking. He lined up another punch, when his commanding officer grabbed his wrist. ""She wants you to kill her, you idiot. That means she knows something. Take her weapons, and check for identification. Maybe she knows something about our little thief friend...""<br/><br/>He drew his pistol, and inspected her closely, lifting up her head with the barrel. ""Excuse my men, they are... Unaccustomed, to seeing a woman out here such as yourself. Normally, I'd throw you to the dogs, and let them have their way with you. It's good for morale, you see?"" He waved his hand to them, and a couple of the nearby ones laughed and grimaced. ""But we have had some strange occurrences, lately. And your appearance seems to be too large of a coincidence. So, would you know anything about a man with a suitcase? Or who sent you? Now, choose your words wisely: I don't want you to regret any 'poor decisions' you make..."" He waved the gun, and waited for her response."

Staring down the sights of hie weapon, he checked the range adjustment. They were slightly closer than the 300 meters so he aimed slightly lower than the centre of the officers heart, not wanting to take chances with missing a head shot. He hoped that the woman would have the sense to run towards her rescuers, bringing anyone giving chase straight into his line of fire. It was nice of them to group up for him, he might be able to take down half of them in the first few seconds, the chaos of being ambushed creating enough of a distraction for her to get away.<br/><br/>He watched carefully, waiting for the perfect moment. The officer might have been asking questions or something, punctuating his words with movements of his pistol. At this range it would take a full quarter of a second for his rounds to reach the soldiers, slightly faster than what they would be shooting back. The officer gestured again and he fired a short burst, hitting the officer with a handful rounds and tracking left. These soldiers being further away, he fired longer bursts, stitching up the area around them with dozens of rounds. He aimed more carefully than he would have ordinarily, not having an ally to keep firing as he reloaded. Kyle targeted the ones with more dangerous weapons first, machine guns and anything with optics or under-barrel grenade launchers.<br/><br/>All to soon the magazine was empty but not before the hundred rounds had left the majority of the patrol dead. He dropped the empty drum and loaded a fresh one, standing up into a crouch and beginning to move from tree to tree down the slope. He kept up a steady rate of fire, pausing behind trees to unleash a burst of fire at anyone stopping to take aim. He froze behind a tree for a moment as the crack of supersonic bullets passing echoed around him."

She worried that she may need to move soon as the fighting sounded close... dangerously close. Thankfully, Canadian man stirred from his sleep, seemingly confused until he got his barrings.<br/><br/>""Who are you?"" he said after a moment. ""Did... you fix my arm? Is this your robot?"" He asked, pressing one hand to his forehead and wincing, before looking at Alika again.<br/><br/>""I'm Alika, yes I patched up your arm, nasty cut, and yes, this is my friend, K7. Now before continuing I must warn you that my friend here can react faster than you can blink so I wouldn't try anything."" she then grabbed a canteen from the man's bag that was next to her and threw it to the man while her other arm still held her rifle pointed at him. ""Drink some water if you know what's good for ya, your probably dehydrated right now. Once your done with your little drink, I got some questions of my own."" She paused and took a moment to take a sip from her camel pack.<br/><br/>""Ahh.... Alright, first off, where is this place? Second, who are you? And third, why is the NWA here? Based on the gunfire and the general location of where my ride sank, I know that they are probably around somewhere here. Oh and speaking of that distant gunfire, you should probably answer my questions fast cause we may need to get moving before that distant fight becomes ours."" she said to him. In her mind, the man was in all likely hood not a threat, but there was still plenty of room for doubt so she took no chances, keeping her weapon raised and K7 on standby."

Replacing the cap on the canteen, he set it down as he slowly sat up properly.<br/>""To answer your questions - We're on Buka Island, which is part of Bougainville Province of Papua New Guinea. My name is Bryan Winterman, Canadian Armed Forces MP. As for the NWA, well - your guess is as good as mine, but I stumbled across them doing some kind of arms deal on the quayside with a submarine captain. I'm guessing they have some sort of plan... I kind of, well. Stole their shit, and they took offence to that, and now they're trying to find me. Still, I figured it's better out of their hands, ey?""<br/>He hesitated, and judged her reaction. She seemed professional, if a little young. But nonetheless, she was keeping a close eye on him with both her drone, and her personal weapon in a position to be quickly snapped up to her hand.<br/>Bryan was about to say more, when a polite voice interrupted both of them.<br/><br/>""All three of you, don't move an inch! I've got a... erm... sniper, watching this area. Tell me who you all are and no one will get hurt."" He menacingly bared his AKS-74U and he saw the equally menacing glare of the scope from the rocks where Aoi had positioned himself. ""I'm not with the NWA, if you're wondering.""<br/><br/>Bryan looked startled for a moment, and raised his hands in supplication to the newcomer.<br/>""Easy now,"" he said, slowly climbing to his feet, still a little wobbly, but feeling much better. ""Let's not do anything rash, ey? There's enough NWA running around trying to kill all of us, let alone us start shooting each other. I'm Bryan Winterman, Canadian Forces; Military Police. And this is Alika. We've only just met too. I'm glad to hear you're<i>not</i>with the NWA.""<br/>He looked over the man, seeing his obvious asian features and his lack of uniform, before he gave a grim smile. ""Of course, you don't exactly look like the type, if you don't mind me saying"".<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Elsewhere, and a short distance away, the NWA soldiers attacked Kyle fell, shouting in pain and chaos. Most had fallen dead where he shot, while others were in no condition to fight back. The remaining men scattered and fired back from the cover of the truck, or by the roadside. Their rifles chattered and popped in reply to the hammering bursts of Kyle's heavier weapon.<br/>""Let's just get the hell out of here!"" one of the soldiers urged to the others. ""The bitch in the back can rot, and we don't need this prisoner anyway!""<br/>""The boss will kill us if we leave without her,"" his squad mate urged, his eyes wide. ""We should-""<br/>He was cut off as his skull was perforated by one of Kyles' rounds. Cursing and muttering, the remaining man scattered into the jungle, leaving the truck unattended, aside from the dead and dying."

""But damn... dentanators? Well it looks like we got new priorities.... How ab-""<br/><br/>Suddenly a voice interrupted them. When the newcomers revealed themselves, Bryan was the first to respond to them verbally, but the drone was not as understanding of the situation. Its turret quickly turned and bared its 9mm barrel at them and emitted two high pitch beeping noises as an alert to their sudden appearence. Alika, quickly got up and stopped the drone from taking further action. ""Down boy! No! No shooting! Bad!"" she oddly said. Alika had programmed the drone to respond to specific voice commands by her, and ""down boy"" was one of them. The others... well she did treat it like a pet.<br/><br/>""Sorry about that.... but yeah buddy, you don't exactly look the part, but I guess since you didn't shoot us on sight, that's enough proof to me you ain't NWA. K7, disable guardian mode, return to standby status... There, he's put his gun down, now you guys do the same."" she said as the gun on the drone retracted into the small turret. She placed her Mk18 on the ground behind her and took a step forward to put some distance between her main weapon and herself to indicate friendly intentions, then motioned them to do the same.<br/><br/>""Listen people, I think its safe to say we all need to get the hell off this island, but I think my new Canadian pal here has some serious information for us as he just told me."""

The officer casually looked her in the eyes. That's when a wad of bloody phlegm smacked him in the cheek, and his face dropped into a scowl, as Cindy just smiled.<br/><br/>""Do your worst, punk, you don't scare me-"" Without warning, he had several bullets rip into his side, and he collapsed with a look of shock on his face. Other soldiers returned fire, only to be torn down by some kind of heavy caliber SAW weapon. She kept her head down for a bit, as the bullet lawn mower cut the enemy squad to shreds, before a lull in fire where she stood up with some difficult, as her hands were tied in front of her. Without hesitating, she spotted her pack with weapons still attached, grabbed it and proceeded to run towards the hidden rescuer, albeit right to the side outside of his cone of fire.<br/><br/>Cindy pumped her legs into the ground as fast as she could, as whoever was firing started up again, and she uttered a small prayer.<br/>""Please don't hit me, please don't hit me, please don't hit me..."" Eventually she leaped over a small mound, and landed with a thud beside him. She took a quick look at him, and noted the Canadian flag on his shoulder. Never seen a Canadian before, do they even have an army? She wasn't complaining, as he appeared to have decimated the squad, who retreated with haste into the jungle.<br/><br/>She laid beside him, and patted him on the shoulder, a wide grin on her face. ""Thanks for the rescue, mate. Bloody Nazis, this war gets crazier by the day, right? Anyways, I'm Private Cynthia Gouldbern, of The Royal Australian Army Medical Corps, but you can call me Cindy. Pleased to meet ya."" She held out her tied hands, waiting for him to shake it. ""Oh yeah, right. Mind cutting me loose?"""

He pulled his knife from it's sheath on his belt and sliced neatly through the ropes. He slid it back into the sheath and started back up the hill towards the rest of his gear.<br/><br/>""Kyle Blackie, Disaster Assistance Response Team, I'm a little bit further from home than you are. We'd better get moving, I think I heard a helicopter earlier.""<br/><br/>Reaching his bag, he hefted it up onto his shoulder and headed back down the hill to replenish his spent ammunition. He dropped the half empty drum and picked up a pair of full drums to replace what he'd fired. He pulled the officers pistol from the lifeless hands of its owner and used it to finish off the handful of survivors, explaining his actions with ""It's kinder than leaving them. There's really nothing we can do.""<br/><br/>He made his way to the truck. Rather than looking in through the back he lifted the cover on the side with the barrel of the pistol."

""The NWA made a deal with a back-stabbing submarine officer, which gave them access to nukes. A whole submarine-full of 'em. The thought of neo-nazi's with nuclear weaponry and an agenda makes me feel all kinds of horrified. Kind of felt like it was my business to intervene and grab the detonators, and stash them somewhere. Alika's right: we need to get off of this island, before they find us, or the detonators. Even then - I'd like to do something about that sub, but I don't have the weapons or gear to do it. And even if I did, I don't reckon I could do it on my own anyway...""<br/>He left the sentence hanging, and looked around the clearing at the others, as he bent to retrieve his helmet, and MP5.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, at the truck, a woman's voice sounded as Kyle lifted the tarp covering the cargo bed with his pistol.<br/>""Don't shoot! Please, don't shoot! I'm a friendly, a-a scientist! Professor Melissa DeWinter, I'm a geneticist. University of Kyoto!""<br/>A look revealed a wide-eyed, dark haired woman.

So he slid down from his perch in his tree, slung his rifle across his back and moved out keeping low he moved around the group first. Using the jungle for as cover until he was out of the line of sight of the Pilot with the M1 in the back before he made his approach. Slowly he crept closer keep to shadows and bushes as he could hear them speaking now, the wounded man was talking, about the submarine as he stayed low. Speaking about how they had to take care of it, and at this time he agreed so he moved out of his hiding spot and walked forward, his hand ready to pull out his pistol as he started to speak.<br/><br/>""He's right, Stealing those detonators is only a speed bump for them"" he stated walking into the clearing from behind the woman. ""SSBNs never pull into ports other there there home port, the fact that they are here means they either had to do an emergency resupply or something really important is broken, probably sabotage to convince the captain to pull in. Either way, the nukes themselves are more important then the detonators, we should assume they are planing on going Underway ASAP and that our window is small.""

After looking at his face and clothing, he looked back at his face and gave a dark smile. ""Of course, you don't exactly look like the type, if you don't mind me saying."" Kwan snickered before responding.<br/><br/>""Yeah, I wasn't ever that big on swastikas and red armbands."" As Aoi bounded over with his rifle, Kwan took the liberty of introducing themselves. ""The name's Kwan Sang Iseul and this half-pint's Aoi Kurotsugi. He's with the JASDF and I'm independent."" Aoi clucked his tongue in apparent distaste at the declaration of his allegiance.<br/><br/>""<i>Was</i>with the JASDF. I don't want to even be mentioned in the same sentence as those sell-outs. Nice to meet you, by the way."" Kwan sighed at this. ""Nice drone, lady. Almost killed us, and then probably you two, what with all the NWA in the area. Tsk.""

""Listen people, I think its safe to say we all need to get the hell off this island, but I think my new Canadian pal here has some serious information for us as he just told me.""<br/><br/>""It doesn't exactly involve us two, but you've piqued my interest. Go ahead."" Kwan watched the Canadian as he began to speak about the information. Kwan nodded as he explained the points and Aoi seemed noticeably discomforted at the mention of nukes.<i>How very Japanese.</i>Kwan remarked silently. As he finished, he gave his own opinion on the subject. ""Definitely sounds like a problem, but there's not much I can do about it, unless my flying friend here has someway of sinking the sub, which I doubt."" He nonetheless looked towards the pilot expectantly, but he was only met with a sour look. ""Yeah, guess not. Well, if you plan on heading towards the docks, we're headed the same way, so maybe we could... ah... tag along...?"" He struggled to find the right expression at the end, despite being a fluent English speaker.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Kwan was interrupted by the sudden arrival of a stranger, entering the clearing from behind Alika. He instantly raised his rifle and was about to demand who he was when he began to state his thoughts about the whole situation. He finished with cold confidence and looked at the group. In the mean time, Aoi had brought out his Minebea P9 pistol, the M1A slung across his back. This time, Aoi decided to speak. ""That's great, but would you mind not popping in without warning? It's called being polite."" Kwan sighed once again at the attitude and picked up the conversation in a much more mature manner.<br/><br/>""Shut it, half-pint. That aside though, who the hell are you?"""

He was about to continue further, when another individual detached themselves from the undergrowth and proceded to put forward their own opinions on the idea of taking on the submarine. From his accent, he was american, and his implication was that they should take on the sub, and the NWA.<br/>""As my new friend says,"" Bryan added, after Kwan spoke up, ""who are you? Though you do have a point regarding the sub. If we are going to try and do anything, it either has to be now, or we'll have to find out where they're going, or what they're planning to do. From what I gathered on the docks, the NWA have taken over the sub, and at least the XO is involved. This place doesn't seem to be a big base for them - there's not much here anyway - so they must be moving on to somewhere else. Which, incidentally, doesn't sound like a bad plan to me, either. And that means getting to the docks, or across to Bougainville island to the south at least.I think there's an airfield there, as well as another harbour""."

Looking at the group he took note that all of them were of different nationalities and organizations. For now his purpose aligned with theirs, though that didn't mean he would trust them. ""I'm Ghost"" he said as even his name tag simply said Ghost Reaper, ""And you can put your weapons down, you would be dead if that was my intention"" he added with a self sureness that comes with years of training and combat experience and not being cocky. He himself moved his hand away from his pistol in a sign of good faith before turning to Bryan ""Your right, this base is very limited on supplies, but once they are underway it could be months, before they show back up."" he said as hearing about the XO wasn't really something that bothered him, the man was a dick and more then once while on that boat he wanted to punch him. With that being said he crossed his arms in front of his chest, he figured he might as well stay with them, safety in numbers and all that as with out there help there was little he could do besides start fighting a guerrilla war, but unlike the jungles of africa he has run into less amounts of wild life for food then he would like, so it would be a hard thing to accomplish."

Simply looking to get home or to survive without any further incident, they are swept up into events beyond their control, while on the horizon the flames of war are being stoked once more, as the exhausted and hastily reassembled national military forces begin to put into motion a task-force, having the knowledge of some of these events.<br/><br/>The war might be over, but peace is still a long way away...<hr/>This RP is heavily inspired by the comic-book series Twilight X, along with numerous other fictional works, such as Red Dawn, elements of the Modern Warfare series, the comic book series 'DMZ' (in small part), Red Storm Rising and numerous other sources that introduce the idea of the Third World War.<br/><br/>In this reality, the Soviet Union did not fall in the early 1990s, and instead regained its' strength and might, leading to a number of confrontations in the early 90's, followed by all-out war after a famine in 1994. This war began as a conventional exchange, but as its' influence expanded and drew in more countries, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons were released by various players in various capacities. This did not lead to an all-out exchange of nuclear firepower, primarily due to the presence of Anti-Ballistic Missile systems based both in space and on the ground, and the increasing use of space-based weapons such as the Soviet 'Moongun' MOLOTOK and the SCATHA orbital/counter-orbital platform belonging to the US, amongst others.<br/>The conventional war was still devastating, involving extensive aerial bombing and warfare, naval engagements and all the expected levels of combat that a third world war would imply.<br/><br/>After almost two decades of combat, the world was exhausted. Political upheavals in many of the countries, combined with the continuing financial cost of the war lead to things fizzling out, rather than coming to an official end. Global communications were heavily disrupted by the activities of many fringe groups and extremists, and many countries were consumed by civil wars.<br/>Units were cut off from their chains of command and supply, with no orders beyond their final standing orders: 'make it home and act as soldiers'.<br/><br/>In the following years - approximately 18 months since the last large engagement of forces - the world has seen the emergence of Extremist groups in many areas of the world, adhering to their own semi-religious ideologies, and often with a pseudo-military organizational structure. Many of them are racial or religious extremists, and some follow neo-Nazi or other similarly 'extreme' ideologies. With the end of organized governments or militaries in many nations, they have acquired a considerable amount of military hardware, either through the hands of defectors, through arms sales and deals, or through simply seizing it where it was abandoned in place.<br/><br/>In the Pacific Micronesian islands, the most notable group is the<b>New World Army</b>, or NWA. Organized by a number of deserting and rebellious military officers from various navies along with an abundant amount of men - and women - from other areas of life, they are a violent and hateful organization dedicated to instituting a military-lead White Supremacist rule over as much of the world as they can get their hands on through force. And they may be getting closer to the means to do so, as they hunt down a number of super-technology caches thought lost and forgotten in the chaos of the war.<br/>Much of their equipment is former-Soviet gear, as the USSR widely exported their designs and technology across South-East Asia and South America, where it was 'acquired' by the NWA, though a considerable amount of also Western equipment, captured and otherwise 'gathered' from other nations in the area. More still is 'modified' civilian equipment, which while less effective, still packs considerable firepower, and has a lot of use in moving equipment, men and supplies around the region.<br/><br/>Along with them, however, are the shadowy and hidden remnants of the technocratic organization known as 'Elysium', who seek to assert their own control over the remains of the world and humanity. Their existence known only to a select few individuals, they are seen as a serious threat due to their pragmatic morality - and their participation in the final acts of the Third World War. No-one really knows their full agenda or abilities, but they are a serious threat, and the remaining high-ranking members of what little militaries remain are on the lookout for them.<br/><br/>The world itself is somewhat ruined. While people still live, work, and otherwise exist, they do so in much more spartan and harsh ways than previously. Power is intermittent, even in the larger countries, and virtually non-existent other than locally generated supplies from small generators or other such ad-hoc supplies.<br/>There are still industries at work in the bigger countries and nations, and there is masses of salvage to be had in the right places - such as ammunition, fuel, food and so on - and there are still new supplies and equipment being produced or refurbished in other places.<br/>Radio communication still exists, and through the use of relays it is possible to transmit long range, but it is the best that most people have.<br/>Some regions in the large continental nations still have television, but it is at limited scale and variety.<br/>The internet has all-but disappeared due to the destruction of many satellites, and the considerable amount of background EM-radiation, not to mention the general destruction of a lot of infrastructure.<br/><br/>With the lack of resources, personnel, and equipment available to most - if not all - local governments, many of the relics of war remain in place. Tanks and aircraft shot down, ships sunk or scuttled; they are all left in place and slowly decaying. Many cities and towns remain in partial ruin, their buildings abandoned or vacant in the face of combat, and slowly being reclaimed by nature, as governments struggle to re-order their countries and cope with the rising threats on their doorsteps.<br/><br/>It is in the Pacific region that this game takes place. The Player Party will be a group of military or para-military trained (i.e. intelligence agencies, public security or law enforcement agencies and so-on) operatives who have found themselves in the region, cut off from their units and commands. Through coincidence they end up together, and involved with the NWA, thanks to stumbling across information about their plans to gain control of technology and weapon caches in the area in an attempt to further assert their control over the region, and in turn the world. It is up to the characters to decide how much to get involved, and to make contact with friendly forces in an effort to stop the might of the NWA bearing down on them.<br/><br/>The characters may be from any military or para-military background, though I would<i>strongly advise</i>that all characters come from allied backgrounds, rather than antagonistic ones, for the ease of interaction. As long as you can come up with a somewhat plausible reason for your characters' military organization to have been operating around the Pacific (remember, they could have travelled to get to where they are by buying or bartering passage), then they can be from almost any nation.<br/><br/>You may play a character who has some experience and training with vehicles - such as a pilot or armoured vehicle crewman, or a naval officer or crewman - but you will not have access to your vehicle to begin with, due to the lack of supplies, logistics, support, etc. However, your skills and training may well come in handy later in the game.<br/>Your characters will, however, have access to their full complement of personal weaponry and ammunition, and will have the opportunity to capture and acquire more, and that will also be a priority for them, along with continued gathering of food and other supplies, as well as transportation.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<a class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Boring Rules"" href=""#"">Boring Rules [+]</a>
</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Shamelessly copied mostly in part from GEARs, as they're a set of rules that covers pretty much everything. <br/><ul><br/><li>Don't be an ass to each other, be nice to your fellow players, and to the GM. A bit of friendly jokey pokes are fine, but try to keep good and civil attitude to each other, and take it to PM or the moderators on the site if you have a problem with someone.</li><br/><br/><li>Silverwind Blade is the GM. Other players are free to make suggestions and recommendations, but the GM has final say on all plot and rules related decisions.</li><br/><br/><li>This game is an original work - it is inspired by other settings, but is not one of those settings. As such, the canon of other settings doesn't hold true with this game - although things from it may creep in now and again as 'easter eggs'.</li><br/><br/><li>While I would like a good and strong element of realism to this setting and game, on the other side of that coin I would prefer that there is a stronger emphasis on the plot than on the details. You may well be able to sprout acronyms and accurate statistics for several dozen lines of post, and to be able to back them up with as many factual references as you like, but Dramatic Licence is in full effect and the Plot wins over everything else. But bear in mind that I will be striving to keep things from getting <i>too</i> outlandish, and have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who has served.</li><br/><br/><li>Also, while this is a military-centric RP, I would like to avoid all discussions of politics as much as possible. There may be controversial elements in the RP that people may disagree with, and I realize it is very easy to slip into discussion of real-world issues and views when discussing the military. However, I would like to avoid arguments and enjoy the fiction as much as possible. I also would like to state that views expressed in this RP are <i>not always my own,</i> and exist to serve the story.</li><br/><br/><li>You may play a character with any kind of personality you like; however don't be surprised when, if you choose to play an abrasive and unpleasant character, nobody likes your character much. Also, bear in mind that without a chain of command, you have no standing orders to 'do the right thing', and if your character is a self-serving arrogant tit, then they probably wouldn't have much interest in joining up with a bunch of people who <i>are</i> interested in doing the right thing. <br/>Also, I'm amazingly bored with 'rebels without a clue', and I would very much appreciate and enjoy a game with a company of decent individuals for once. This part's not a rule though. More of a... desire.</li><br/><br/><li>You may not play an enemy or villain character.</li><br/><br/><li>While there is some high-tech gizmos in the game, there is still a firm basis in realism and 'near future' technology. For example, there will not be walking tanks, androids, phaser-beam rifles and advanced cybernetics. Yes, some directed energy weapons may make an appearance. Yes, there may be some space-based weaponry - however, this will be based on <i>existing concepts within reach of our technology,</i> rather than out-and-out science fiction. Most of these devices won't be available to your characters anyway - especially at the beginning. Even Elysium will not have access to anything too beyond the pale.</li><br/><br/><li>If you wish to have a side-plot or storyline related to your character's past, then PM the details to the GM - if I don't know about it, I can't work it in, and if it comes up in the middle of something else I've planned, I'll ignore it and move on; if I didn't know about it, then it's a disruption to whatever I've already planned. In other words: If I don't know about it, it doesn't exist. This is the same for any other details as well.<br/>Bearing this in mind, however, side-plots will not be allowed to take over the main thread or storyline. They'll be tied into it, tangentially or otherwise, as it goes along and when I see an appropriate opportunity to do so. Badgering me about your side-plot won't make it come up any sooner though, and I'll decide how to fit it in, with your input.</li><br/><br/><li>God-modders and power-gamers will be ejected from the game. My definition of 'god-modding' is constantly pulling new abilities, history and equipment for your character out of your ass to suit the situation, despite whatever is listed on your character sheet.</li><br/><br/><li>Equally, any Mary-Sues/Marty-Stu's will be mercilessly stamped out of existence, and bought down to Earth with a crashing bump. Your character cannot be the best at everything, and win every fight they're in with no challenge. The best characters take hits and damage, and find their opponents hard to beat. They have character flaws, downsides and problems. If there's no challenge and your character is 'perfect', then it's boring and pointless, and there's nothing to overcome or grow into.</li><br/><br/><li>On the other side of this argument, this does not need to be a gritty, miserable slog. A strong sense of adventure, heroism, fun and excitement are also part of this genre, and I play to get away from miserable things, not to have them rammed into my skull in my free time. Keep it balanced out; seriousness is the general tone, but there's moments of levity and joy too.</li><br/><br/><li>If you are going to be busy or away, please notify the GM and other players by PM or on the thread, so we can work around your character. If you intend to come back, then this can be covered.</li><br/><br/><li>If you wish to drop out, then please let someone (i.e. me) know, so you can be written out, and so people aren't waiting for your post. It's just polite. If you do not post to say anything, you'll be considered to have dropped out of the game.</li><br/><br/><li>Please try to post at least once a week to remain active, so that people aren't waiting for you. If you're having trouble, let people know so things aren't dragging too much. If you do not post within a week and offer no explanation in the OOC or via PM to the GM of the game, then your character sheet will be removed and the game will move on.</li><br/></ul><br/>

The man in the center was his co-pilot and the man to the far left was their wingman. Neither survived imprisonment, except for Kwan.</i><br/>
</div>
</div><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Personality</span>: Kwan is a mature, thoughtful man, preferring to think before acting. His long times alone surviving in Afghanistan have made him a quiet man, despite his skill with languages. He can be quite friendly, however, with those close to him, especially his brothers in arms.<br/>Despite his age, he is well-liked among his clients and potential clients for his mercenary work for his versatile, flexible and adaptable nature, easily and calmly adjusting in any situation in order to get the job done.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Personal History</span>: Kwan was born on the 17th of July, 1968 in Daegu, South Korea to a middle-class couple who both worked for a journalism company. As a child, he had a quiet life, spending most of his time as many of his friends did, though he did spend a considerable amount of time learning English with a close friend of his parents, who was an American immigrant to South Korea. After he graduated high school with above average marks, he decided to join the Republic of Korea Air Force in 1986. He passed through training with ease and he was well-liked by not only his fellows but also his superiors. Due to his English skill and his excellent flying ability, he was recommended for a soldier exchange program with the USAF in 1984 which he eagerly accepted. Upon arrival, it was evident to his new American comrades that he was a great asset and they set themselves to work on attempting to find a good use for him.<br/><br/>This 'good use' came in late 1987 in the form of a top secret mission in Afghanistan. He would fly missions against the Soviets in unmarked aircraft in order to finally expel the Soviets from Afghanistan. He arrived in the country in December, 1987 and he began to fly these missions in January of the next year. These went exceedingly well, until March when he was shot down by a Mujahideen forces who had confused his aircraft for a Soviet one. Kwan barely survived the crash, and had to evade not only Soviet forces, but also Mujahideen forces for months in the harsh environment of Afghanistan before being captured by a Soviet patrol. It seemed like the end for Kwan, but he was saved when he managed to befriend an old Soviet officer who had learned Korean during the Korean War. By recommendation of the Soviet, a man named Andrei Ivanovich Verov, he adopted a new identity (a Soviet Russian of North Korean origins) and successfully defected to the Soviet Union.<br/><br/>After that, he stopped flying for a long period of time, instead traveling with the officer throughout the Communist Bloc and its allies, visiting places such as East Germany, Africa and even Cuba. Upon the death of his friend, in 1993, Kwan decided to end his voyages and attempted to settle in the West. However, he was met with difficulty in doing so due to an incessant itch to return to the battlefield and Kwan joined the French Foreign Legion in the same year. He stayed with the legion for fifteen years before leaving after a ""dispute"" (in his own words) and trying mercenary work in the war-torn world. This eventually brought him to the Pacific when he was given the mission of chasing down a JASDF defector...<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Particular Skills or Talents</span>:<br/>-Kwan has experience in flying the F-5 Freedom Fighter, the F-86 Sabre and the F-15 Eagle due to his training with the ROKAF and the USAF. He also once flew a Mi-8 during a joy-ride with his close friend and savior, Andrei Ivanovich Verov.<br/>-During the months following his being shot-down in Afghanistan, he picked up through experience numerous survival and special-forces-esque skills.<br/>-Despite his age, Kwan is very versatile when it comes to missions and will do whatever it takes to get the job done (coughcoughsoclichécoughcough)<br/>-Kwan has something of a skill with languages, fluently speaking English, Korean, Russian, German, Spanish, French and is able to read Arabic.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Weaponry</span>:<br/>-AKS-74U 5.45x39mm carbine, no attachments or modifications.<br/>-Custom M1911 .45 pistol, with a threaded barrel for a suppressor.

He's a positive sort, with a strong moral fiber. He tries to protect those weaker than him, and hates to see people 'throwing their weight around', which is in part why he joined the military and particularly the MPs.<br/>Equally so, he is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in with force, and to use that force in the 'most effective manner', even if it's not necessarily the prettiest or most pleasant one - and he believes that bad things should happen to bad people, and that sometimes, a good man must do bad things for the world to be a better place.<br/><b>Personal History:</b><br/>Bryan's father was a Police Officer in Calgary. He had a good reputation, as did his family, and he loved his job. He was very good at it, and raised his family - including Bryan and his sister - to be good people.<br/>When Bryan was a teenager, he argued a lot with his father, but still respected him. However, during one night after they'd had an argument, Bryan's dad was called to respond to an incidence of a robbery at a private residence. The criminals were heavily armed, and Bryan's Dad and his partner reached the incident first. Responding with their personal weapons, they set up a perimeter, and the criminals attempted to run, using the family at the property as cover. Bryan's Dad attempted to open fire with his shotgun, but the gun jammed with a shell partially-caught in the chamber, and he was shot.<br/>Bryan found ways to blame himself, due to their argument, and never forgave the harsh words he exchanged with his father being his last. However, his Dad's partner and his mother assured him he knew how he really felt, and he decided to follow his path into duty and law enforcement, and joined the Canadian Forces after meeting a recruiter at school. He found life in the military good, despite missing his family from time to time, and he did well as an MP, and was commended for exposing various activities within the base he was assigned to.<br/><br/>Later, as the war began and went on, he was stationed overseas as part of a security detachment for Canadian Forces deployed to South-East Asia, and was involved in direct combat, often in escorting convoys, tracking down insurgents and other enemies within civilian populations, and securing bases against attack and criminal activities.<br/>As the war wound down, he was forced to abandon his post in the face of an overwhelming assault, and fled to the nearest harbour, bargaining passage aboard a civilian vessel bound from the Philippines toward the mid-pacific.<br/><br/><b>Particular Skills or Talents:</b>Excellent observational skills and 'people skills', extremely good at investigation and observation of people.

Pretty much done! Might edit the history a bit more, everything else is done.<br/><br/>Name:<br/>Alika Fern<br/>Age:<br/>24<br/>Gender:<br/>Female<br/>Nationality:<br/>State of Virginia, United States.<br/>Branch of Service:<br/>Artver Mercenary Services<br/>Appearance:<br/><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/Ggz0fJ2.jpg""/><br/>Stands at around 5'3<br/>Personality:<br/>Generally very open and friendly, Alika is a critical thinker at heart, always keeping a skeptical mind about her situation. She can be sarcastic, blunt, and rude sometimes, whether it's intentional or not. A team player, Alika can work with people well and always tries to help a friend. Though she has very little tolerance for religious zealots and ""honor bounded"" individuals. Often makes fun of herself in regards to her short height.<br/>Personal History:<br/>Alika initially wanted to get involved in the war ever since she was young. Her home state, Virginia, was one of the states that received the bulk of bombardment due to the high concentration of strategic targets. Also because of this fact, it was soon a heavily militarized state and a staging ground for deployments to Europe. Her mother worked as a nurse at St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond and often treated many wounded soldiers coming back from the war. When she was ten, her father, who had been fighting in the European Campaign as an Army Ranger, died during a massive offensive by the Soviet Union. They recieved the tragic news when a British SAS soldier arrived at their house. He told them that her father had sacrificed himself to save his squad during the offensive and asked the SAS squad leader to deliver a message to his family. ""I'm sorry I couldn't be their for you, Alika, I hope one day you'll understand."" Alika's mother was presented a few medals for her father's heroic actions, but they seemed to mean nothing to the family for what they had lost. Alika from that day forward decided she wanted to fight in the war like her father did, as she felt like she owed him for what he had done in the war. Throughout Alika's high school career, she became interested in robotics and joined her school's robotics team. Something about tinkering with machines and getting them to preform tasks never ceased to amaze and appeal to her. Despite her mother's protests, at age 18 she joined the United States Army to fight in the war. Her previous experience with robotics aided her in becoming part of a new, specialized role in the infantry squad, the drone operator. UAVs and UGVs began to see more use at the war entered the 21st century and their was a demand for specialized soldiers who could operate and maintain drones in a combat zone. Alika took on that role and after further training saw her first deployment in Europe when she was twenty. It was truly an eye opening experience for her, and after two long years of combat, she was done with the military. It showed her how naive officers and squad leaders could be and she hated the fact she could not say a word of opposition to orders. Thus she joined the Private Military Company scene as it was flourishing during this time of war.<br/><br/>Like the military, there was a high demand for those who had training and experience in the field of robotics and drones. Alika quickly joined up with Artver Mercenary Services, a medium size mercenary group that usually operated with the United States and its allies. Her team was deployed to the Pacific in 2012, but as the war's life soon burned away, her company was suddenly shut down as it was suddenly suspected to be providing intelligence to the enemy. Her team decided to go their separate ways and Alika now finds herself in the Pacific theater with nothing but her gear and some money. All she want's to do now is return home and find her mother.<br/><br/>Particular Skills or Talents:<br/>Great with robotics and the IT know how that comes along with it. She can usually fashion her own replacement parts given she has the right tools and materials.<br/>Weaponry:<br/><br/>- Mk18 with a holo sight and foregrip handle as well as a extendable stock.<br/>-A USP .45 with a small flashlight attachment<br/>-A fixed blade 8-inch knife<br/><br/>Personal Equipment:<br/>-Drone Operator Kit (A small pack that carries various small replacement parts, wire cutters, electrician's tape, ect.)<br/>-Hardcase Atalis Touchscreen Tablet (For operating her drone)<br/>-<a href=""http://i.imgur.com/v8nQNBb.png"">K7 Atalis Ind. Support Drone</a>(Colored a darker grey, with some metalic covering. Along with a small 360 viewing camera/gun turret on top): A small backpack size UGV that roles on four very mobile legs. It has one single barrel 9mm machine gun that carries around 150 rounds. The K7 was a drone designed for providing intel and act as a forward observer. They can be semi autonomous, being able to navigate on its own and depending on the parameters set by the operator, able to engage enemies based on IFF tags or by the operator personally marking targets on the controlling device, which displays what the drone can see. The operator can also call out specific targets via voice or radio. It has thermal and night vision camera options. Though for UGVs it is somewhat fragile, not being able to maybe hold up against light firearms like 9mm pistols, nothing like rifle rounds. This particular drone has been with her since she joined the company and she tends to treat it almost like a beloved pet. Some minor modifications by Alika has made it slightly faster than standard models. While it could originally travel long distances by itself, the destruction of various satellites and the amount of interference has greatly reduced its effective range. Thus Alika often uses it as a squadmate of sorts.<br/>-two MREs<br/>-A half full CAMEL pack (water carrier)<br/>-Two green Flares<br/>-A small first aid kit.<br/>-Tactical Headset (see picture)<br/>-MP3 Player<br/><br/>Other info:<br/>Likes to listen to music in her headset or read one of her three books on her tablet. Once again, to the level of destruction across the globe, her tablet is only useful for drone operations/programming and reading."

</div><br/><br/>Personality: Damian is a quite, calm, and collected person. It's as if he has a switch and can simply turn off his emotions as he acts as an efficient manner to accomplish any task. To people not used to him they tend to get nervous around him, for the simple fact that he rarely speaks. Most finding such silence unnerving. Despite this he is rather social, often enjoying the company of people and listening to them, and after awhile they kind of get used to his quietness<br/><br/>Personal History: Even as a child he was always so quite never screaming or yelling or getting overly excited. Because of this most of the other kids didn't really want to talk to him or be around him find him weird. All accept one, Jason. Damian and Jason became fast friends, Jason being loud, boisterous, and a little obnoxious and always having ""the plan"" so to speak. Damian on the other hand simply fallowed his friend, mostly keeping him out of trouble, and in some cases keeping him alive. The pair worked well together and were nearly inseparable through out there early child hood and into their teenage years. That is when things started to get really dangerous. Living in Detroit wasn't exactly safe. The city was in a decline, falling a part as more and more industry and major companies were leaving. The Motor city was slowly dieng. Because of this crime started to become more common and frequent. Gangs popping up all over the place as the city became more violent. And Damian and Jason got sucked up into it all.<br/><br/>Fighting, robberies, car jacking, They did it all. Living life on the edge, though like most things Damian was more along for the ride then anything, and as always keeping Jason out of trouble. Though the pair became quite proficient at it, even earning a small name for themselves in their neighborhood. Though being known in a dieing place wasn't much to brag about. This was mostly all they did, Damian even had to carry Jason through high school so they could graduate. Both of them were motivated to get out of the decaying city. Though that was something harder then they thought. While Damian was a straight A student Jason wasn't quite so lucky, and when it came time for college Jason didn't get accepted anywhere, while Damian got excepted to several, including Yale and Harvard As if he would be able to afford to go to them though.<br/><br/>So in another one of Jayson's plans he decided to enlist in the military. Damian of course ditched college and enlisted as well, and both of them signed up for the Navy SEAL program, and with some strings pulled both were excepted. Once in things started to really change. Damian shined in boot camp, Jayson still makes jokes that is the most he has ever heard Damian speak. But none the less he excelled but boot camp was only the beginning as soon the pair would have to deal with the treacherous Buds.<br/><br/>This is where the real challenge started, the rigorous training, the lack of sleep it was like nothing they had ever experienced as once again Damian really started to shine though, excelling in the program. Jayson on the other hand started lagging behind, unable to keep up. Damian tried to carry his friend through it but in the end it wasn't enough as Jayson washed out. Damian considered washing out himself, but instead decided to keep going and complete the training. For the first time in as long as he could remember He and Jayson were separated. Damian went on to Graduate buds and soon was a SEAL.<br/><br/>Over the years operating in many different combat zones and areas through out the world Damian started to rise through the ranks, quickly making Petty officer on her first go, and even second class. His natural quietness even earned him the nick name of Ghost. He was even selected to attend the USMC Scout Sniper school. He was excited, as special forces from around the world try to get into that school as when it came to sniping, there was no better place teach you. Like most of his military career he did well in the sniper school. Earning the designation of Scout Sniper. It wasn't long after that that his Team started calling him The Ghost Reaper, cause now that he was a scout sniper not only did he move like a ghost but he was the incarnation of death itself. This was all mostly his team messing with him though, but the name stuck and his official call sign became ""The Ghost Reaper"" Though most people just called him Ghost. As the war raged on Ghost body count climbed at an exponential rate, he was quickly becoming one of the worlds top snipers, even being some what known through out the circles of black ops of other nations.<br/><br/>Towards the end of the war Ghost and his team were operating out of Guam, striking out all over the middle east and russia, but after every one was cut off it was chaos. Ghost and his team were cut off, stranded in enemy territory. Escape was the only mission now. All things considering Ghost and his team were doing fairly well. They were even close to securing transport back to america. during a meeting they set up with the contacts they had made with the Russian mafia, they made sure to take great precaution. But it wasn't enough. The meeting was an ambush, His team tried to fight back, but in the end ghost watched all five of his squad mates get gunned down through his scope. Though they were scattered about and taking different vantages the enemy was ready for them. Ghost him self simply got lucky, in that the enemy wasn't expecting a sniper of his skill as he was further away from then they thought to set up, and by the time they realized this he was long gone. He did however make his way south, and was able to secure transport out of china.<br/><br/>Particular Skills or Talents: Advanced Krav Maga hand to hand combat, Expert marksmen, Basic medical training(he makes you more comfortable as you die), due to previous life can hot wire almost any car or truck, Advanced Diving(Aggressive driving encase of pursuit, meant for your more conventional vehicles.

Though through training he can cope, he does have a tendency to drink a lot, though he never really gets drunk, every now and again he takes a drink from his flask but won't let him self get drunk. But when put into a situation where he is ""safe"" he will likely drink heavily and binge.

</div>
</div><br/>Personality: Obviously very precise and efficient when it comes to ops due to her background, Cindy is still compassionate and empathitic, as her profession requires that of her. She is down to earth, and strong willed when it comes to saving lives. She is energetic and happy-go-lucky, typical of most Australians, and won't leave a man behind.<br/><br/>Personal History: Originally, Cindy was drawn to the nursing profession, gaining her RN D-1's at the University of Queensland, but that soon changed with the Russian invasion of South East Asia. Due to the lack of support from other nations, the Australian Government began to issue drafting notices, and she was selected to be a medic in the Royal Australian Regiment, who were subsequently deployed to such regions as Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam towards the end of the Third World War..<br/><br/>Her particular unit was situated in Burma, where she operated in a makeshift hospital treating the wounded air lifted from the front lines. Despite the circumstances, Cindy enjoyed her work, finally getting the chance put her skills to the test, and found it extremely rewarding. Despite the work the hospital did for the local community where it could, the hospital was bombed in an act of terrorism, and hostile forces engaged. Cindy barely escaped with her life, and made her way into the jungle.<br/><br/>Because of the sudden exodus, many of the Australian soldiers missed the declaration of the end of the war, and continue to believe that it wages on. Cindy is one of those people, but no longer chooses to fight for the military, instead traveling and helping out villages with what she can with medical treatment, not realizing that the war, in fact, ended.<br/><br/>Particular Skills or Talents:She is trained in medical procedures up to the level of a Registered Nurse, Division 1 (able to take blood, use complicated emergency aid equipment, and a moderate understanding of how certain drugs work).<br/><br/>Weaponry:<br/>-Standard Issue 5.56mm F88SA2 Austeyr, with ACOG 1.5X zoom Ring Sight, 5 magazines.<br/>-M3 Carl Gustav, 1 Anti tank Round.<br/>-9mm Self Loading Pistol Mk3, 3 clips<br/>-Standard issue Assault Knife<br/><br/>Personal Equipment:<br/>Emergency Triage kit – Situated to Cindy's side, it allows for emergency life saving procedures to be performed on the battle field, and also has a wide range of stimulants, painkillers and performance enhancing drugs. To boost effectiveness of team mates.<br/>Rations - About four days worth of field rations. Some of them appear to date from the start of the Third World War.<br/>Canteen – Good for holding water (who would've guessed).<br/>Binoculars – For scoping out targets from far away.<br/>Can opener – Never know when you might need one.<br/><br/>Other info: Cindy is quite a heavy drinker when it comes to it, able to outdrink what she calls 'soft' Americans. She also has a fear of spiders."

If you look at like my character, for all of his skills and bassasery, he has no real motivation. Nothing really drives him so (once we start) he is going to be more lost with out orders to tell him what needs to be done. So even if he is motivated by money it doesn't mean he is a shallow character. In some regards he would have more depth then mine. but it would work well, since we are all sort of mercenaries at this point and we need money and have to get it some how."

</div><br/><br/>He’s a ginger and likes to grow a massive red beard in honor of his scottish heritage. Medium build but more focused on muscle building than endurance, so he’s a bit thicker and broader than average.<br/><br/><b>Personality: </b><br/>He is a firm believer in family and kinship and is great at making fast friends. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve served with him, you’re family and he will treat you as such. Loud and obnoxious at times, but always knows how to lighten the mood with his jokes. He’s also a very simple man. He doesn’t care about the American dream, having children, or owning a home. He loves the fast, exciting life of the battlefield and he would rather die in a foxhole than get too old to fight anymore. This could be contributed to his Scottish heritage as well, this man loves to fight. He would sooner throw a punch than say excuse me and then hug you right after.<br/><br/><b>Personal History: </b><br/>Military is his life. Always has been. He’s inherited the desire to fight from his father, who got it from his father, and so on. Every male in his family served in the military and loved every second of it. As soon as he turned 18, Carson packed his bags, ran to the nearest recruiter and joined right up. He was quickly recognized as being a highly skilled soldier, but he wasn’t leadership material. He prefered to keep things simple, “Just show me where to shoot!”. After his eight years of service, Carson and his closest friends decided they were tired of the structured life the the U.S. Military and decided to go the mercenary route. Over the course of time, he proved that his skill surpassed theirs, but the price was seeing them all die, one by one. He was never the same after that. He still had his goofy, joking outside, but underneath, there were hints of rage that would show themselves in brief moments of utter brutality in the battlefield. The way he sees it, this mission to the Pacific was just another chance to let some rage out.<br/><br/><b>Particular Skills or Talents: </b><br/>Excellent engineer skills from his time in the US Military. Can repair most types of machinery and weaponry. Knows a decent amount about explosives. Proficient with small arms, particularly in the case of holding a position.<br/><br/><b>Weaponry:</b><br/><a href=""https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/PEO_M249_Para_ACOG.jpg"">Light Machine Gun, 5.56 mm, M249 /w Bipod</a><br/><a href=""https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c2/M590A1.png"">Mossberg 500 12 Gauge Combat Shotgun</a><br/><a href=""https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/M1911A1.png"">Colt M1911</a><br/><a href=""https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Ka-bar.jpg"">U.S. Navy utility knife, Mark 2</a><br/><br/><b>Personal Equipment:</b><br/>Standard Issue Military Backpack<br/>Standard Issue US MARPAT BDU’s<br/>Standard Issue Light Weight Helmet<br/>Modular Assault vest /w Pouches, Hydration, Ballistics<br/>Radio<br/>Brown face mesh<br/>Small tool kit<br/>Black tinted shooting glasses<br/>3x Pouches holding 200 round belts of 5.56 ammunition<br/>2x Bandoliers of 200 round 5.56 ammunition<br/>4x 1911 Magazines<br/>Whetstone<br/>5x Frag Grenades<br/>4x Anti-Vehicle Mines<br/>1x Bundle of C4 /w detonator<br/>Trenching tool<br/>5 Days of MRE’s"

I had a lot of fun, and so did they, playing through my adventure. One of my players even made a heroic sacrifice, which went down really well. The downsides are that I'm amazingly tired and I seem to have come down with some kind of crappy cold-like virus that has made my throat feel like it's been sand-papered.<br/><br/>Regarding RP more related to our game:<br/>-Blackwolf, your character is fine, but I'll ask that you change the goggles you've listed and pictured to actual NVG's, as I have a personal annoyance with Night-Vision devices in movies being shown as, essentially, swimming or dust-goggles that allow you to magically see in the dark xP<br/>This game isn't set into the future or with tech so advanced that NVG's would've shrunk that much, so you're still relying on goggles like the modern-day ones. Make that edit, and he's good to go.<br/><br/>-GrowingDark, Carson is fine too. Good to have a machine-gunner in the group, that will likely come in handy. Interesting that we've got two mercs already. I was expecting more people to go for playing actual militaries, or even para-military (like CIA or equivalents, or even SWAT). I'll add Carson to the OP shortly.<br/><br/>-Kyelin, Cindy is fine. Good idea playing the medic, and also taking the Carl Gustav - again, it might be useful. I'll add her to the OP too.<br/><br/>I'll mark the OP as closed to new applications, as we've got a good few people here already and I think it's a good size. Rultaos, go ahead and post up your character whenever you can, and we'll start after you've got them up.<br/>I'm going to be doing a training course most days this week, unless I get any news about work (I'm currently living the life of the unemployed), so it might take a little while for me to post the IC, but there's no massive rush."

You have to remember, WW1 and WW2 gave us the biggest leaps in technology up until those points. A lot of what we have today were by products of war.

Or having him actually have some internal monologue about where he's been, what he's done, or some kind of emotion other than 'kill a bunch of guys' would've less boring than 'kill a bunch of guys' though.<br/>Also, this island is tiny - take a look at the maps in the OP on this thread.<br/>And if our 'characters are doing whatever' (or<i>roleplaying</i>as it's commonly known) surely it's better to have your character bump into them 'doing whatever' than have him murder his way around the jungle on his own?"

With a sigh he took one long drag from it before putting it out on his own hand and putting it away for later. He wouldn't have normally done such a pointless thing, but even he was not looking forward to telling King Cole the latest news that he had gotten....<br/><br/>Walking into the mayors office Bigby knocked on the opening door. ""Cole? Are you still here? We need to talk"" As informal as always, though he was never one to ever be formal in the first place, wasn't his style. On walking on and finding Cole, if he was about to leave or not, Bigby would give the grave news... ""Cole, another has been found. That makes two in the last two weeks...<br/><br/>What Bigby was talking about was the recent drug craze that had been going around known as Fairy Dust, or simply Dust. Normally drugs would have little effect on Fables, but this new drug had too much of a effect, sending the person into such a high that it left them comatose, unable or unwilling to leave their own happy place, a true happily ever after. So far two people, both female and both working ladies. One of which had worked in the employ of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.<br/><br/>""As you can see Cole, this is a very serious matter. What are your orders?""<hr/>While this talking was going on, a young looking which faded in from the darkness, having just come down from the 13th floor for some late night shopping, and was now standing next to the door with her back to the wall and listening in... She had known Max for a while and to know that one of his girls was in that state he was going to be pissed, more so if she had to tell him about it instead of hearing it before hand. Either way he had to know, so she pulled down her hood, her purple eyes vanishing into the darkness once more as she made her way out of the woodlands, hopefully avoiding the other residents in the process..."

It stopped just out side the large gates of the Woodlands luxury apartments and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. The figures thin fingers pulled out a single cigarette before putting away the pack and pulling out a lighter made of ebony with a spider engraved in silver on both it's sides. As the figure struck the lighter it's face was illuminated. To any one of the mundies pacing by the man would be known as Booker Mathews, the odd guy who worked down the street. But to the people in the building right behind him he would be known as the one and only Bogeyman, the monster that filled every child's nightmare. Well that is what they use to call him now he was just old Boogie, the use to be monster staying in apartments.<br/><br/>Boogie took a deep inhale of the cigarette in an attempt to forget the day. He had to deal with the usual kids trying to steal from his store, the school mom who was upset with the type of costumes he sold, the middle age couple trying to spice things up in their lives. It was days like this mad him miss living under beds and scaring people shitless. But he shook off the idea as the old thoughts of loneliness came back to him, something he hoped would change when he came to Fabletown.<br/><br/>Boogie was half way through the cigarette when someone bumped into him, making him drop it. ""Aww hell."" He said before he turned around to catch the sight of a girl wearing a hood. ""What no sorry?"" He said as he bent down to pick up the cigarette. He blew on the butt before putting it back in his mouth. ""Well?"" He said with a raised brow and a hand on his hip."

There was nothing subtle about it, this place was in one of the best spots in town, you could see it from a mile away and it was located on the main vein of roads in the area. The fact that the place was constantly expanding meant it was not only surviving the no doubt killer rent but it was doing pretty good for itself....naked ladies brought in money, who knew huh? The owner who was currently calling himself Max, this month atleast, was running his business pretty tight despite what many thought of him. He had earned himself a pretty sizable clintel in his clubs but this was his casa, the big cheese, the main one, you get it. Exactly why he didn't take the news of what happened earlier pretty well.....<br/><br/>Max: ""The fuck is this bullshit? I am away for a few hours and you drop this shit on me?""<br/><br/>""What was I supposed to do boss? She was down and out by the time we found her. I got ahold of you as soon as Lucy got off the phone with the sherif's office.""<br/><br/>Max: ""You what? AAAA!""<br/><br/>Max punched him square in the nose and dropped him like a sack of potatoes.....good thing the guy was a fable.<br/><br/>""I am surrounded by morons. If I was paying you decant I'd cut your pay!""<br/><br/>Max grabbed a bottle of rum from behind the bar and started chugging it down. After going through most of it he set it down.<br/><br/>""Right well, the place ain't working tonight obviously, you compensated the customers that had to leave?""<br/><br/>""Yeah boss.""<br/><br/>The guy talked pretty funny with a broken nose.....He tried to stand up but Max kicked him back on his ass.<br/><br/>Max: ""You stay down there while I think......right. I want no more surprises tonight. Before that fucking lap dog shows up I want everyone on the same page. Bring the girls, especially Lucy and I want to know what the fuck happened to my beloved establishment.""<br/><br/>Max finished off his rum and put the bottle down before heading backstage.<br/><br/>Max: ""And fix your god damn nose."""

She was coming back from her usual training, to keep her abilities as a fighter in check. She had tried to get a job today as usual, but today wasn't her lucky day either. She wanted to work in law enforcement, but the mundies refused her, thinking that she was too delicate and frail to get their kind of jobs done. It was honestly too bad that she couldn't brag to them as to who she is: Momotarou, the one who defeated the ogres with her friends. ….OK, so that wasn't really brag-worthy. She thought of asking Bigby for the job, but she figured that his answer would be the same: No. She figured he'd say no because of her appearance, and because not many of the fables here knew her. She didn't live in their land, she lived in the Hidden Kingdom before she moved to their land and then moved here. Plus she would honestly rather not get chewed out for something she did in the past.<br/><br/>She soon raised an eyebrow when she noticed good ol' Boogie, another resident of the Woodlands, talking to another girl. She had never seen this girl before. Who was this woman? She stopped and stuck around a bit, curious as to what was happening. But she remained silent."

Either way she was out of the building at last, though as she burst out from the gates she crashed into a shadowy figure, though a little taken back at first, soon the voice of the one she had crashed into calmed her own, as it was only Boogie.<br/><br/>Though Momo may have never seen Rozalin, Boogie may have given that the most people that went to the 13th floor were people that needed glamour, and Boogie was a rather big job given his rather... Unique shape. ""Ah, well sorry Mister Boogie. I didn't mean to ruin your... What are you doing anyway?"" Walking back from work this late seemed a little ""Were you stalking people again?"" That is what she called his old job... Just stalking with a prettier title."

""It's fine Rozalin."" He said with a exhale of smoke. Boogie had rarely spoke to her but when a guy spends hours at a time on the 13th floor for a single glamor he tends to pick up some names. He was all honesty not upset about being bumped into, but with the day he had he wasn't really a happy monster at the moment.<br/><br/>""Funny Rozalin, very funny."" Boogie said with a eye role as she asked if he was picking up his old habits again. He had given up following people at night after he made that guy have a heart attack a few centuries ago. ""Spending hundreds of years in the dark tends to make a guy like nightly strolls, besides Snow doesn't want me smoking in side."" Boogie said before taking another drag of his cigarette. He then raised a brow. ""What are you doing out here this late? What are doing off the 13th at all?"" He said exhaling smoke from his nose."

So the woman's name was Rozalin, and apparently she lived on the thirteenth floor of the Woodlands apartment judging from what Boogie just said. That explained why Momoko never saw Rozalin before. But she was sure that her three friends (Kuro, Saru, and Tori) may know of her, since they're the ones who need to be glamoured.<br/><br/>Momoko was curious as to what Rozalin was doing out as well, but she knew that it was none of her business, and she was sure that Boogie and Rozalin wouldn't appreciate her eavesdropping on their conversation. She walked past them silently so as to not interrupt the both of them. She kept listening as she walked though, just in case. When she reached the double doors of the apartment she looked back towards them one last time, before entering the apartment.<br/><br/>She walked through the foyer, looking at the still sleeping guard briefly before looking in her mailbox to see if there any letters for her. There were none once again. She sighed as walked upstairs mumbling to herself ""I wonder Saru actually cleaned the kitchen tonight,"". She rolled her eyes knowing the answer. Of course the little prankster wouldn't take up cleaning unless it involved setting up a prank for her or the other two roommates."

Stretching out, he slips out of the blankets and fixes them back up behind him. He didn't bother turning a light bulb on, he hadn't paid the electrical bill since he moved into the apartment, the room had windows and he could work just as easily by candlelight or natural light as he could under artificial, plus it saved him money on rent. He poked the blinds over the window, checking the sun with his hand widths to determine the time.<br/><br/>""Two hours since the sun rose...must be around 9.""<br/><br/>Gideon lets go of the blinds, walking over to his nearby ice chest, since he had no electricity, he needed ice to preserve his food or drinks. He reached in and grabbed a red delicious apple. He wipes it on his sleeve and takes a bite, walking over to the nearby Davenport couch as he does which was where he left his pants and shirt. Gideon slips them on, shifting the apple from hand to hand as he adjusts them. He finishes, taking another bite, noticing his hand in the dim room. It was looking paler than usual.<br/><br/>""Damn Glamour must be wearing off...No matter, I'll have one of the Witches fix it once I get to The Woodlands.""<br/><br/>Gideon passes his desk and nearby safe beneath it as he walks over to the door. He then slips his running shoes on along with his green overcoat and baseball cap before opening the door of his Apartment, he locks it behind him.

The regulars, mostly drunken loser Mundies or the few Fables that even the Trip Trap was too classy for, were bitching into their drinks and generally feeling shitty. The goons outside the back office were flanking the door on either side, looking as if they chewed on steroid pills with every meal; Which they more or less did. And Mickey Gillespie, owner, operator, and general low-life scum, was talking going over the books. O'Mallory's itself didn't do an impressive amount of business. It didn't need to, it just being a nice little front for the Leprechaun's real business. He dealt with a lot of hot merchandice down in the basement, plus he moved a little bit of product for the Mundy crooks that stopped in now and then. It was enough to keep him occupied in living in relative comfort, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as it had been back in the Homelands.<br/><br/>Those days were long gone, though, and he figured he might as well get used to being a lower-middle level crook in this crappy Mundy city. He pushed his specticales up and nodded as he read over the books again. Not bad, this week. Those rolexes had sold well, not to mention the product he'd gotten from a new source, but that was a secret he was keeping to the grave, especially with those two girls that'd went out cold and hadn't come back. Then he remembered he needed to give Max a call. They did some business together, and he needed nail down some details for the next meeting. He reached for the phone and hit the speed-dial, taking a shot drag on his cigar while he waited for The Boy Who Cried Wolf to pick up."

A cluttered mess of the various trinkets and items saved from the fables previous homelands. It was here that Cole spent most of his time, and it was true that he sometimes lost himself amongst the various texts and artifacts saved from the homelands, engrossed in their histories and meaning to each particular fable. Snow did most of the actual work nowadays anyway, though this is not to say he does not care about the fables under his care, the reality is very much the opposite. Snow always seemed to have a knack for getting things done, and whilst Cole has his heart in the right place, he is blinded with his kindness and it's likely the case that if it weren't for Snows occasional reality checks for Cole, he'd be spending his time going through every minor problem that existed in fabletown, and never even getting around to the most pressing issues.<br/><br/>Cole had been sitting at his desk, only just beginning to relax as the day came to an end. Looking up, and seeing it was Bigby, Cole couldn't help but let out a small sigh. It wasn't that Cole didn't like Bigby, it was more the case that Cole did not like the news that often accompanied the Sheriff, and it was no different this time. As soon as Cole heard the words; 'Another has been found' he knew precisely what Bigby was speaking about.<br/><br/>Cole listened intently as Bigby spoke, before rising from his chair, rubbing his temple as he began to pace around the room. He did that a lot, especially when he was thinking, it was simply an old habit from his days as King that he never quite shook.<br/><br/><i>""Goodness....Another? This is concerning indeed, Sheriff. Who was she, do you have a name? I do suppose the first thing to do would be to establish an identity, Then I can have Bufkin find some information about them, and in the meantime we can have the drugged fable taken to the doctor...I think he's still around the Woodlands somewhere. ""</i><br/><br/>Bigby nodded, stroking back his hair for a moment, knowing he was worrying Cole with all this and Snow would chew him out later over it but he needed to get things sorted now. ""She is already on her way to be looked after by Dr Swineheart... I do have some information this time instead of just some nobod-, I mean, not alone like the last guy. Her name is Sarah, a fable from the hidden lands of japan, like that Momo girl.""<br/><br/>Taking out his notepad for the lack of remembering the full facts he listed the few he had. ""Apparently she worked as a 'working girl' at The Double D's. Nice name Max... So it seems we have a lead on just where to start."" Looking around for a moment he noticed something was off ""Snow not in today?"" More than likely doing something important, given that she was normally here with Cole and Crane at night, mostly Cole given Crane was lazy at times...<br/><br/>Cole nodded solemnly,<br/><br/><i>""Well, I'm sure Dr Swineheart will do his best...Indeed, it is unusual for Snow not to be around. I believe she's having a small bit of downtime just now..She should be back soon, however. She never stays away for too long! Anyway, head to this fine establishment run by Max. Find out what you can about this poor girl, Sarah. Make it clear that full co-operation is expected from Max in this investigation!<br/><br/>Oh, and before you go...Try not to hurt anybody, Bigby! Self-restraint is of the utmost importance!""</i><br/><br/>When given the go ahead Bigby straightened his tie and with a nod he got ready to move out of the office, aiming for Max's place. However he was stopped by Cole as he stated that he shouldn't hurt anyone ""Why does everyone always say that?..."" That being said he knew why, fear was a hard thing to forget and he did not blame them really. ""I will keep in touch if I find out anything important, you do the same with me. I want to see if the Doc picks anything up this time from the girl"" Stepping through the door Bigby stopped for a moment before looking back ""Oh and Cole... Make sure to get some sleep tonight. I will handle this"""

""I am not a prisionoir, I can go out if I like"" It was normally not recommended... ""Anyway, King Cole said I could if I wanted too"" Of course he did not agree to her going out at night but in the day... Either way she was out now and she intended to be out for a little while.<hr/>Meanwhile Bigby was exiting from the elevator, striking up let another smoke as he came out of the elevator, stopping as Momo came up so he could step around her and allow her into the elevator. ""Make sure to tell your freinds not to cause too much trouble today"" He mentioned off handily, after all he already had enough on his plate with this whole drug thing going on so he did not need any pranks played on him today.<br/><br/>Without a need to stop, and with a mission in mind Bigby went outside to see Boogie and Rozalin hanging around outside. He knew Rozalin due to her common place within Cole's office, and because of that he called her the lazy witch. ""What are you doing out here..."" Bigby said as he took a big draw from his huff and puff.<hr/>""I was just going out to enjoy the night air. Why does everyone ask me that anyway?"" She knew witches were valable due to their magic power and knowlige, but they were not prionoirs or anything... Maybe it was just suprise due to the fact that many of the witches were happy to just wait around up on the 13th floor for people to come up and buy their wares, meh she prefered to go out and sell magic... Not that Bigby knew that.<hr/>""Mmhmm, right... Anyway, I need to get to Max's, so I will talk to you and Cole later about this. Boogie, could you look after her?""

He said as Momoko headed towards the apartments.<br/><br/>Boogie was about done with his cigarette when he turned back to Rozaline. ""Well whatever it is you're up to just try to be careful.

When Bigby asked him to watch Rozaline he felt he kind owed it to him. ""Sure, but you owe me a pack of smokes."" He said with a smirk. As Bigby walked away Boogie made his way back to Rozaline.

It was a cheap little thing, barely above a regular cigarette, but in his tiny hand it looked like a damned Cuban. ""Speakin'a merchandice, been meanin' t'talk wit'cha 'bout some new product. Next meetin', t'ough. Best'a luck wit' t'at fookin' dog. He's waitin' fer an excuse to toss both our asses in the Witchin' Well."" He hung up then, and pinched the bridge of his nose. Fucking great, Bigby was already on the job. If he was going over to talk to Max, it probably wouldn't be long before dropped in to say ""Hi"" to him too. He'd have to be prepared...<br/><br/>""Oi, boys, keep an eye out. We're gonna be expectin' company tonight..."""

Yes, I'll be sure to let Saru-kun know about his debt to you,"" She continued on her way, thinking about the prank that Saru played. She remembered. Saru had used firecrackers to play a prank on Crane last Halloween. It was quite hilarious to see Crane think that the Headless Horseman was after him again, and get so scared. Really it had just been a mannequin with a pumpkin filled with firecrackers for a head. The Woodlands Apartments were a mess with bits of pumpkin everywhere in the office. Everyone had talked about that incident for weeks after that. She couldn't help but chuckle again as she recalled the prank.<br/><br/>When the elevator door finally opened to show Bigby coming out of the elevator door and he made room for her to enter. She nodded thanks when he did and she entered as Bigby made his statement. She smiled and answered him, ""I'll be sure to tell them that,"" She pressed a button on the elevator and the doors closed. Other than the boring elevator music, it was was silent, since Momoko was the only one in the elevator. Soon the doors opened and she was in the hallway, heading for her room.<br/><br/>She took out her key and opened the door to see that the room was unusually clean. Kuro, the black haired boy who looked about her age, was standing in the kitchen, while Saru, a blonde haired boy, sat on the couch looking despondent. Tori wasn't in the apartment. Momoko didn't know why, but Tori was always gone late at night. Saru and Kuro told her that she had gone to work, but Momoko never found out what Tori's job was. She looked to Saru and she asked ""Saru? What's the matter?"" Saru looked to Momoko but didn't say anything, which was unusual for a chatty person such as him. Kuro answered ""Bigby found Sarah. She's dead,"" Saru cried after Kuro made that statement, and Momoko widened her eyes. Sarah was Saru's girlfriend."

This could be troubling for her, that much was for sure. ""No thanks... "" After Bigby and Momo had gone Rozalin started to walk. ""Look, Boogie. What you are going to see you can't tell anyone about ok? It is not strictly... Well promise me you wont tell anyone, otherwise we can just go and get something to eat."" Yeah she knew full well that even if he told someone about what she was saying it could not come back on her.<hr/>Mayor Coles Office<br/><br/>Meanwhile Crane was entering the building, pushing past Gideon in a huff. He was clearly flustered and went straight up to his and Cole's Office. ""Cole!"" He shouted as he entered, completely blanking anyone else there, even Snow White if she was. ""Is it true? Has yet another one been found?"" He was of course talking about Sarah, who as far as he had been told was found, be it dead or a coma he did not know, though in a coma she was thankfully or not...<hr/>""The Double D's""<br/><br/>Making his normal entrance, Bigby shoved the door open as he ignored the doorman and the no smoking sign on the wall, though he knew it was just something Max had yet to take down... Why had he not taken this place out yet? Simple, more important things going on, though this time it involved Max's place, too bad for max. Taking his a Huff & Puff pack and shaking a cigarette loose, he picked it out with his mouth and lit it.<br/><br/>""Max! Come out here. We need to talk""<br/>--<br/>""We got nothing to talk about.""<br/><br/>Max said as he walked out of the backstage area.<br/><br/>""Yeah nice to see you too.........""<br/><br/>He would pretend to be friendly for a lot of people.......not the wolf.<br/><br/>""I already asked all my employes about what happened and I want to get to the bottom of this as much as you sheriff, actually even more, it's not your lively hood at stake. So I am willing to fully cooperate with you. Just ask me what you wanna know and get the hell out.""<br/>--<br/>""Oh? Well, isn't that a change. The Boy who Cried Wolf finally willing to help someone other than himself, and without lying no less."" Bigby came right back at him with that back handed comment, though he had little time to play around with him right now, despite who much he disliked him. ""It is simple Max, I want to see where she worked, where she kept her stuff here. Anything. A place where she lived may also be good if you are are feel that nice"" Walking over to the bar the man leaned onto it, waiting for a answer.<br/>--<br/>""I do not keep track of where my employees live, I only care what they do here. Follow me.""<br/><br/>Max led Bigby backstage.<br/><br/>""This here is the dressing room where the girls get ready for work. Through that door is the lockers where they keep their belongings and the back exit. Sarah had access only to these backstage areas so there is no point showing you anything else. Here's the spare key for her locker, no one has opened it yet.""<br/><br/>Max went over to her locker and opened it.<br/>--<br/>Bigby sighed ""Where have I heard that before..."" Seemed to be a common thing, no one wanted to make things easy for him about being open about what they were doing... Would make his job hundred times easier if they were. Moving past Max he wasted little time in looking through the things in the locker, though he somewhat did not belive what Max said about it not being opened... Then again he could never belive anything he said so there was little point on calling him out on it without real proof.<br/><br/>""Hmmm, did she frequent this 'O'Mallory's' often? Wait, ent that Micks place? What is your girl doing at a rivals bar?""<br/><br/>Oh, Max knew full well what he meant by Rival, no matter how small time and lack of proof on hand Bigby knew... He had taken three objects from the locker. A peice of red clothe, a card with O'Mallory's on it, and her handbag. The girl would need her belongings if she ever woke up that much was for sure.<br/>--<br/>""Your memory sure doesn't go a long way. I am surprised you find the way back home to your dump at night sheriff. I told you, once the girls leave I don't ask what they do or where they go. It's their business and I want nothing to do with it.<br/>--<br/>Bigby got right up into Max's face by this point. ""Thats right, keep running your mouth, because one day it is going to get you hurt boy, just like it did before."" Placing the clothe and card away into his back pockets, he thought about interrogating Max, but of course being who he was doing so would only make Bigby feel good. ""If I find out you had anything to do with this girls condition I will be back, you understand? So you better not be hiding anything from me.""<br/>--<br/>""Only my sheep. Oh hey know I remember, you live near Snow White right? Guess that solves the mistery oh how you find your way back home. You'd do anything for your master right? Well be a good boy and get off my case and go find out what the fuck happened. Maybe she'll notice you exist.""<br/>--<br/>Bigby shoved Max at this point, though for some reason did not follow through like he did in the past, until he got to know snow that is, but instead just pointed at him. ""Fuck you Boy."" Cole asked him to restraint himself, and so he did as he started to make his way out of the club. He had other places to be and he could not afford to start a fight here and now, but damn he wanted too!<br/>--<br/>Max watched silently as Bigby left.<br/><br/>""One of these days....""<br/><br/>He murmured to himself.<br/><br/>""Mark, since we are not working tonight call in cleaners tonight to get the place in shape. I have a few things to do. Don't get any more comatosed women on your watch.""<br/><br/>Max left shortly to go on with his business."

As he walked through the main gates he felt himself shoved out of the way and looked to see Ichabod Crane apparently in an even bigger hurry than he was.<br/><br/>Compared to Mayor Cole, Gideon's experience with Crane was that he was a pain to deal with even when he was in a good mood, which was most days. He shook his head as he continued into The Woodlands lobby, checking his box for mail. Also like most days, there was a stack of envelopes there for him. As the representative for Fairy interests at The Woodlands, he was constantly getting mail on complaints, petitions, inquiries, or simply questions which his constituents wanted brought before the government's attention. Going through all of them daily, it was his job to decide which ones warranted the attention of himself, Cole, Crane, Bigby, or anyone else in The Woodlands. The stack was fairly hefty today, but he shoves them into his one of his inner coat pockets before looking through them, he had all day for that.<br/><br/>After closing his box, Gideon then walks over to the elevator and waits for it to come down, his plan to get his Glamour fixed by the Witches on the 13th floor before going to his office on the 3rd floor."

Saru asked Kuro and Momo, ""Do you-Do you think that Dr. Swineheart has her body now?""<br/>Kuro shrugged and said ""Probably. Why do you ask?""<br/>Saru sniffled, preventing himself from breaking down into tears again, ""I-I just…I want to say good-bye to her…""<br/>Momoko understood how Saru felt. It was the same as after the ogres killed her adoptive parents. She stood up and helped Saru up and she said to him ""Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get to Mayor Cole and see if the body had come in yet,""<br/>Saru smiled and he sniffled to Momoko ""Thank you, Momo,""<br/>Momo answered him ""Don't mention it,"" Kuro looked to the two of them and he asked Momo,<br/>""Should I go with you two?""<br/>Momo shook her head and she answered ""No. Stay here, just in case Tori comes back,"". Kuro nodded mumbling an OK, in reply.<br/><br/>Momo and Saru left their room and headed for Mayor Cole's office. They entered the room to find Crane was in the room along with Cole. Crane seemed to be upset, but then what else was new? The guy was always uptight and upset over something. Saru normally would've teased Crane at this point, but he knew that Crane was talking about Sarah, and he didn't say anything.

Walking into the building Rozalin wasted little time in knocking on the door, and sure enough a none glamoured Toad showed up at the door. ""Hello Mister Toad, I have come with the delivery""<br/><br/>""About bloody time! I mean, I am not ungrateful or nothin but it is hard being stuffed in this ol place for so long. Know what I mean? Ah! Boogie, what are you doin ere?"" Rozalin walked into Toad's place, and Toad left the door open for Boogie too.<hr/>Mickey's Bar<br/><br/>Bigby took little time in making it to Micky's, after all Fabletown was not all that big and taxi's were always running, even at the dead of night. Walking up to the door he pushed it open and tossed his cigarette to the ground, stepping on it a moment later as he took a look around. ""Mick! In know you are here. I heard your voice over the phone with Max"" Though he could not pick up the words, the little shits accent was a dead give away, as even some of the other Irish fables did not talk the way he did.<br/>--<br/>There was a long pause. The regulars turned to look at Bigby with annoyance, or in the case of the Fables, a bit of fear. The bruisers outside Mickey's office were starting to stand, cracking their knuckles and looking ready for anything. They were small-minded and brutal men, only Mundies, but Mickey had given them some magic rings to give them that little extra boost. As a Leprechaun he had some talent with magic, but it wasn't anything close to the witches of the 13th Floor. His Mundy thugs might be stronger and more durable than normal, but they still weren't up there with Fables.<br/><br/>""Boss don't see nobody wit'out an' apointment."" The bigger of the two said, his bald scalp shining in the dim light as he glowered at Bigby.<br/>--<br/>Bigby sighed, peering down to their hands as he sniffed the air, yeah that was the smell of magic already, well Leprechaun Celtic magic at least, left a faint aroma since it commonly used spice or other scented things. ""Well he is going to see me. Now out of my way, and leave. I dont want to have to hurt you guys"" He was clearly not threatened by them as he just started to walk to the door to open the thing up, of course this left him wide open.<br/>--<br/>The goons stood dumbfounded for a moment, but they quickly regained their composure and started after Bigby. The speaker had pulled a blackjack out from under his shirt, the other reaching for what was obviously a gun stuffed in his pants. Blackjack was growling and brought his weapon around in a wide swing at Bigby's head. It wasn't a particuarly good swing, but he was big enough to do some damage. The other guy, meanwhile, finaly realized that grabbing his gun in the middle of the bar probably wasn't a good idea, and settled for just charing in with a meaty fist flying at the intruder.<br/>--<br/>The blackjack came crashing down onto Bigby's head, stunning him for a moment and giving enough time for the other mook to clock him right in the jaw and send Bigby into the near by table. ""Ok... I guess we are doing this the hard way"" HE said, standing up from the table he gripped with hardly any effect showing from the attack other than him rubbing his head for a moment, and the likely bent in the black jack. By this point the Fables in the bar had the good sense to get the hell out of there. Reaching back Bigby looked to be ready for them to attack, only to throw a full mug of beer at the one that had punched him before before he rushed forwards to jump up and punch the other goon.<br/>--<br/><br/>With the bar now empty, the goons figured it was a good time to stop holding back, but it was a bit too late for them. The smaller one was sent to the ground screaming as he was struck in the head, hands clutching at the shards of glass in his bleeding face, the booze seeping into the wounds and burning like hell. Blackjack was sent crashing into a table, which buckled under his weight and not so neatly snapped in half. He was struggling to stand when the voice almost screamed from the office.<br/><br/>""Alroight, t'at's enough! Get in here, Bigby! You two fookin' idiots clean up that goddamn mess!"" It was Mickey, and as he opened his office door, in his non-glamored form, he looked as if he was having a conniption fit. He did<i>not</i>like it when people trashed his bar, even if it was just a front. He was jabbing a finger into his office, his specticales threatening to fall off his nose as his left eye twitched a little too much. ""Jus' what the fook do you want, boyo?""<br/>--<br/>Bigby was just about to make sure the two did niot get up again for a while when the midget finally spoke up and ended the fight, which worked for him. Straightening his tie he started to walk into the office. ""You should know better Mick and tell your boys about me... That being said, those little rings of theres are not really all that legal are they? Niot to mention showing yourself none glamoured like that"" This was clearly just a small threat, as in 'tell me what I want to know, or you will get pulled in for that' ""That being said, have you heard about a girl named Sarah?""<br/>--<br/>""There ain't not'in' illegal 'bout makin' magic items, Bigby. Those bitches on the 13th Floor jus' don't like it when folk get magic they didn't get paid fer. An' t'ere ain't a fookin' soul in here t'at don't already know 'bout us, so what's the point of a glamour right now?"" The Leprechaun shot back, still scowling and twitching his eye even more. Mickey took a moment to collect himself before he spoke again. He'd been expecting the wolf's questions, just not this soon.<br/><br/>""Sarah, eh? One'a Maxie's girls, I t'ink. Stopped in now an' t'en fer a drink. Shame 'bout her. She gave the best head."" That was a lie, he'd never gotten even to 1st base with her, but Bigby didn't know that, and maybe it would ruffle that little turd Saru's feathers.<br/>--<br/>""Giving them to mundies is though, be careful where you step little man"" Bigby was rather calm at this point, despite the fight that he was in a moment ago, though when you were a fable you healed very fast so he was feeling as right as rain. well that is until the little asshole said one to many things. When he mentioned Sarah like that Biggy walked over and attempted to grab onto the Leprechaun to lift him from the ground.<br/><br/>""Look here you little shit, there is a girl in a coma right now and it may be because of you! So keep your mouth in check before I just throw you down the witching well myself! Now tell me, did she collect anything from here? Or meet anyone? The reason she is in a coma is because of something called Dust"" Of course Mickey would know its full name was Fairy Dust<br/>--<br/>Oh, this was just fucking great. They'd already found out about Dust in less that three days. The bitch had told them it would take weeks for them to figure out the tie between it and its nasty little side-effect. Mickey did his best to keep calm even as his legs kicked in the air; not an easy task when the Big Bad Wolf was looking pissed as hell in front of you.<br/><br/>""How the fook should I know where the junky bitch got her product? I jus' deal wit' hootch an' glamours now and then."" He almost shouted, trying his best to sound indignant. ""She only ever stopped here fer a drink oncce're twice. If she was stupid enough t'buy some product from one'a me customers or who the fook ever, t'at ain't me problem!""<br/>--<br/>With a growl Bigby would swing tje midget up over his head and onto his desk, he was not in the mood to be dealing with this. ""Dont give me that shit Micky! I know full well you are into selling drugs, and something that effects fables would be right up your street. If you tell me now I promise not to toss your ass down the Witching Well, if you tell me who you got it from I promise I wont trash this place while using you as a baseball bat""<br/>--<br/>Mickey back to conniption fits again, swearing up a storm in Gaelic, English and some other Fae language that had gone out of use centuries ago. Bigby was serious now. The Leprechaun was snarling and trying to reach his bowler hat to cover up his bleeding head. Fuck it, it wasn't like the bitch could do anything against him for talking.<br/>""Foine, foine, jus' settle the fook down. Got the product a coupla weeks ago from some lil' bitch in a red hood, alright? She didn't give me a name, keep her hood up an' she used a voice-changin' spell. That's all I got fer ya, wolf!"" He was doing his damndest to get out of Bigby's hold as he talked.<br/>--<br/>Bigby looked a little shocked by this news since as soon as the little guy mentioned a red hood the guy just leg go and looked into his pockets to check on that red peice of clothe... Seemed like he may have been telling the truth, but if it was just some simple deal then why did the girl have a piece of ruined clothing? He had to get back and check on the body, to see if there was any sign or evidence there.<br/><br/>""Well, that wasn't so hard now was it Micky? Thanks for the information, and if you could. Try not to tell anyone you told me? It makes my job a lot easier"" With that Bigby had little care about what he had caused, he got the information after all and not to mention a lead. Of course if Micky did not say anything he would leave.<br/>--<br/>ckey just glared after Bigby for a few minutes until he was sure the wolf was out of earshot. Oh, there was no way in hell he was going to make that asshole's job easier. He ran back into his office and pulled up the phone. He hit another speeddial and waited for the ringer. The girl needed to hear about this, after all. If he told her right away instead of letting Bigby surprise her, she might not take it out on him too.<br/><br/>""Oi, lass, heads up. The Wolf's snoopin' around. He knows 'bout the product. He'll be lookin' fer you soon.""<br/>--<br/>Bigby was already heading town the street towards the Woodlands... However, the tip off Mickey gave his supplier was more than enough to seal Bigby's fate, as he wouldnot be returning to the Woodlands that night. A cross bow bolt slammed into his back, causing him to growl one moment but fall asleep the next. ""A captured wolf... Makes me think of old times"" With that she left with Bigby in a car."

Boogie smirked as he said hello to Toad. He stopped just before he walked into the apartments to put out the cigarette he was smoking, using the back of his shoe, and placing it behind his ear for later. ""Besides I feel like I owe it to you. You can't imagine how many times I had to use your face to scar people back in the old days."" Boogie said with a slight chuckle in his voice as he walked into the building. He stopped for a moment to look up the stairs that looked like they should of been condemned a long time ago.

He looked up and down the hallway before going right towards the nearest Witch's residence. Although Witches were heavily confined to The Woodlands, they were not restricted to simply the building and could obtain permission to move about outside with enough effort on their part. This meant that sometimes they could be difficult to reach if none of them were actually in their residences, but that was almost impossible. More likely than not, at least one Witch would be home right now.<br/><br/>Gideon knocked on the door and waited to see if anyone was home to fix his Glamour."

Ent you a funny one"" Toad scratched his leg before focusing on what Rozalin was doing, which was laying out several different pre-done glamours, all within charms. They were outdated, given that if you lost the charm you would not have long until your glamour just vanished, though if you kept it, it would even resist dispelling magic. Toad started to browse a few of them as Boogie was talking about his old place. ""Huh? Who cares, they pay went.. Plus I don't remember where you stayed"" Oddly enough he was telling the truth... Toad was a little scared of the boogieman and with good reason.<br/><br/>Rozalin watched as Toad picked out four and handed them over, allowing Rozalin to chant a little over them, finalizing the glamour charm. ""Ah, thanks doll, you're the best."" Rozalin nodded before holding out her hand. ""I know, but I am still not doing it for free Toad..."" With a grumble Toad, the tight wade, handed over the money for the glamours, cheaper than the 13th floor that much was for sure.<hr/>Cole's Office<br/><br/>After a rather heated, though one sided on Cranes part, discussion Cole had finally noticed the people waiting at his door, opening his arms in a friendly manner.

Well it was the one with the broke window, horrible smell, crappy AC, and a few cockroaches. Oh wait that doesn't really narrow it down now does it?"" He said with a chuckle before he put a hand in his pocket. ""Oh yeah Toad before I forget.""

On being tossed the chocolet flies Toad smiled, though grumbled at the mention that he may have them to himself. He would never... mainly because TJ would get upset if he did it this time as well. ""Thanks mate, though I know you ent the type to be making home deliveries. Why are ya with Miss Rozalin?""

Ah yes, joining the investigation You see-,"" Crane stepped in by this point ""Out of the question. We already have Bigby on the case-,"" Cole raised his hand to silence Crane ""You may join...

He always loved messing with his old landlord, not because he didn't like Toad because in all honesty it was quite the opposite. He had a sort of soft spot for the little green slime ball namely for the fact that Toad was one of the few fables that didn't go completely awkward around him despite his past, not to mention the guy put him up until he was able to open his store. Though the likelihood of Boogie ever admitting how he felt about Toad would be as likely as he would go skinny dipping in the Witching Well.<br/><br/>When Toad stood by the door and started to shoo away the two Boogie dawned his calm smile and made his way towards the exit. ""I guess I'll see you later Toad. Oh and tell TJ I said... Boo."" As he spoke the last word his voice seemed to become a faint deep echo and his eyes turned into two glowing yellow orbs. Though as quickly as it happened Boogie was back to his normal appearance. He exited after Rozalin and took the cigarette from behind his ear. ""So black market charms eh?

Clever plan really. once the paper work was done, there was nothing that could be done to her, even after they find out, simple really.<br/><br/>As the Taxi pulled up she looked around a little.

But he knew the type of heat that could come down on this type of stuff, especially with Bigby being the sheriff. ""But no offence I think I'll stick with the other witches on the 13th, mostly because I don't think they could make it without my usual charming visits.""

Traditionally, Fairies could be very petty about what they complained to him about. Being some of the smallest Fables around for the most part, their problems were much different from most Fables. For them, a brick falling out a building could be a whole wall of their house destroyed or a hobo lighting a trash can for warmth could destroy their ""property"", and these were issues which weren't necessarily worth the attention of the Fabletown Government. This didn't mean that they should just be thrown out though, scorned Fairies could cause just as many problems as the ridiculousness of solving the issues of their problems directly would cause, it just meant Gideon had to be very creative at times in how he placated his constituents while not wasting time, money, or human resources.<br/><br/>Several of these letters appeared to be more serious complaints though, relating to the recent incidents linked to this new drug people were calling ""Fairy Dust"". Half a dozen letters alone were to have Gideon petition a ban on the phrase, as the writers felt that it was violating, or simply dangerous to have the drug be associated with them. Gideon understood the fear, if people somehow implicated Fairies in general of being behind the new drug, it could lead to potentially bloody vendettas, especially if this drug took off with more serious side effects besides comas.<br/><br/>The biggest problem Gideon had with dealing with this problem was that he knew next to nothing about the drug itself, or where it was reportedly being found, other than the fact that working girls had been caught comatose from it. He decided to head back downstairs and talk to Cole, or anyone else down there about it once his Glamour was fixed."

Boogie let out a slight sigh as he looked back to Rozalin. ""Yeah we need to tell Cole about this... but give me a minute before you go up."" He said before he pulled out his phone and dialed a quick number. ""You better pick up your damn phone Max.."" He mumbled to himself as he waited for an answer."

Mickey grumbled sourly as he spat out the stub of his cigar onto his office floor, starting the first throws of a fit as he heard the goblin's story. Seemed like half the Woodlands building was out investigating the Dust trade, and it was pissing him off to no end. The stuff's profit margin was freaking amazing, but now he couldn't sell a damn ounce of the stuff with these little turds all going about sticking their noble noses into other people's business. Mickey swore up a blue streak as he fished out another cigar, cliping it and doing his best to light it while he went over the plan for how the hell he was going to deal with this.<br/><br/>""I ain't goin' back to bein' a fookin' nobody again.

Not the first person she would think of for helping out the wolf of all people.<br/><br/>After the call Rozalin pointed to the locker that housed all the mail of the residents of the woodlands. ""It was stuffed into Bigby's locker, but the door was wide open for anyone to see the letter. I think I am the first to fined it given it is still here and all."" At that moment Max came into the lobby, this was getting more and more crowded. ""Shut up"" She stated sternly.

""Like I said I got something on what happened to Bigby, well Roz here did."" Boogie said as he handed the letter to Max. ""If it is the Scarlet Hand then this is a lot worse than just some new drug Boy, even you can see that."" He said crossing his arms then turning to Rozalin, putting on a weak smile.

He looked over Max as he gave his quick explanation about the cause of this sudden drive and their destination. It could be seen as clear as Toad's warts that Boogie was not in the slightest bit amused by this. First off Max made it clear that he would let Bigby die, an already big no no in his books, second having a hit put on his life was never a spirit lifter for Boogie and lastly he was told to be quite, one of the few things he could never do. He took out a smoke and lit it. ""Okay Boy I'll come with you to deal with this and that's exactly what I'll do<i>deal with it</i>.

And I'm not sure about you but when a hit is put out on me I take it as a bit of a offence"" He said before he took a drag of his smoke. Boogie offered Max a simple eye roll as he did is best to make him feel like he was bent over the barrel. ""A few things Boy. One your right I won't kill Mick I don't want to get jackass on my shoes. Second like I said I'm going to talk, hell I might sing. Third I don't have loved ones for him to attack, less you couldn't tell by my apartment it is made for one. Lastly like I said I'll help you out with the job but legally, you doing fuck all with Mick will get you up shit creek and I'll be the one on land with your paddle.""

For those of you that know the games you get the jist of what is happening, but for those that are unclear, otherwise you may want to research it, it is a town where the fiery tales, and some legends, of old now live within a place called Fabletown due to a invasion of their old homeland by one called The Adversary.<br/><br/>Fabletown is a community located on Bullfinch Street in Manhattan's Upper West Side. To regular people (or mundies), it appears to be an ordinary New York neighborhood. But it is really the home of Fables from many worlds, and within the business office at the Woodlands lies a massive cavern, a vast library, and hundreds of magical items of immense power. All non-human fables live upstate on The Farm, an extension of Fabletown. Also, the farm sucks... Pretty hard.<br/><a href=""http://fables.wikia.com/wiki/Fabletown"">Basic Info</a><br/><br/>YOU will be playing these fables, but before you ask sadly no, you can not play Bigby. You will be allowed to play a existing fable, or if you are REALLY good at making a fable, I will allow OC fables to be introduced.<br/><br/>Me and my Co-GM experta will be running this and we already have a story based around a new drug and the reason everyone is worried. All we need now is some players willing to take part in this RP so that we can build it a little more personalized to your characters.<br/><br/>You all know the basic rules of RPing I presume, also you know stuff about the games or the books, but if you need any information then it will be added to the OOC as needed.

His skin is a very light pale color, almost rivaling Snows', and his hair is a ebony black color. His eyes are a dull yellow color that he clams to just be hazel to the mundies.<br/><img src="" http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/036/5/6/human_pitch_black_by_knoire-d5tyfda.png ""/><br/><br/>No Glamor<br/>With out his glamor Boogie is literally something out of nightmares. He is a even 8 feet tall with an almost skeleton like build. He has no hair but rather multiple horns and his skin becomes a void like color. His hands become large claws and his teeth becomes razor sharp fangs. He also sprouts two bat like wings. A shadow like mist also replaces his legs. Boogie's eyes also turns into two glowing yellow balls.<br/><a href=""http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/jordanlair5/media/Shadow_zps257aa453.jpg.html""><img src=""http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag231/jordanlair5/Shadow_zps257aa453.jpg""/></a><br/><br/><b> Personality: </b> As you'd expect Boogie is a mischievous, creepy, and rather childish person, though the word person is only used loosely. What seems to shock most people is his honesty, he rarely lies and seems unable to keep one going. He is rather loyal person, seeing the whole of Fabletown as kind of family that he is apart of. But what really gets people is how he is a hopeless romantic, loving romance novels and movies, sadly though he seems to scar off any potential happy ever afters.<br/><br/><b> Fable: </b> Before he left the homelands Boogie was a monster that terrorized wicked children with their own fears. He was the being that made people keep the candle on their night stand let all night, the reason parents told their kids to stay in when it was dark, but most importantly he was the reason people checked under his bed before they went to sleep. Despite the horrifying rumors that shrouded his name Boogie never ate the children he took, he merely filled their minds of their greatest fears until they swore they would never misbehave again, nothing to bad. Sadly that all changed when the Adversary started to take control of the homelands. Sure Boogie put up some sort of a fight but like so many Fables he eventually decided to abandon the homelands for somewhere new. He settled in Fabletown like the others, signing the Fabletown Compact. Boogie spent a few centuries doing random jobs just to get by but recently he opened his own Costume/Joke shop called Oogie Boogie's naughty thoughts.<br/><br/><b> Belongings: </b><br/>-An average income<br/>-A book of phobias<br/>-His store<br/>-An apartment in the Woodlands<br/><br/><b> Theme: </b> <br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujzp9ffPwPM&amp;feature=kp""> When you're evil </a><br/><br/><b> My Lips are Sealed </b>

Unlike most girls, Momoko grew up to be strong and a brave soul. One day, Momoko decided to go on a journey to ogres' island and steal their treasure.

After that, she lived until it was time to move to that new world.

        Name: Gideon Armstrong<br/><br/>Nickname: ""Wyldefae""<br/><br/>Race: Half-Human, Half-Faerie<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Appearance: <img src=""http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/5756/elvenwarrior.jpg""/><br/>Gideon in his prime, before the Homelands were conquered and he was driven out. <br/><br/>Personality: Mercurial and inscrutable, Gideon is more often than not jovial to people he meets for the first time, but there is no guarantee that he will treat the person the same way the next time he will meet them based on changing circumstances. He keeps his true intentions hidden, and although he is tough to read, he does have a caring heart for those in need.<br/><br/>Fable: The Changling Child, Gideon was a stolen from his human crib when he was a baby by one of Sidhe, the Fae Lords. Taken into the realm of Tir Na Nog, the realm of the Fairies, he was raised as a Fairy Child, gaining many Faerie characteristics such as black eyes, pointed ears, paler skin, along with agility and finese as his blood transfused with the intense magic to become half-Fae . Upon reaching adulthood, his God-Mother took him under her wing as her personal representative between the Summer and Winter Courts, where he learned the byzantine intrigues of Fairy politics and the constant exchanges and bargains for greater power.<br/>He hated his job as nothing but a dignified half-bred messenger, but being bound to his God-Mother he had little choice, until his God-Mother grew tired of him and gave him to both Queens of the Summer and Winter Courts as a gift they would have equal claim on depending on where his soul lay ""hot"" or ""cold"". Seeing the benefit in playing off of both sides, and knowing that even a half-Fae's soul alignment determined which court it was bound to serve, Gideon made certain to keep himself balanced in everything he did. He was inscrutable, one day he would help a particular Fae, the very next he would kick them out of the way. Another day he would kill troll, and in the next hour he would pay living expenses for that troll's wife. It was ludicrous, amoral, and extremely selfish, but that fit him right in with the Faeries and it secured him his position as Mediator between the Faeries of Summer and Winter, with the Queens, Lords, and Ladies of each side bidding with handsome bargains or ransoms for his services. This also included Fae dealings with other non-Fae races, where he kept up his strict philosophy of maintaining balance.<br/>Thing got shaken up quite substantially when the Adversary conquered the Homelands, Tir Na Nog was shattered and the Faerie Queens took off to the Mundy World with as much of their Courts as they could. But even in the Mundy World, their rivalries persisted, and now they had the perfect targets to trick, bargain, and persuade into deals to take advantage of people, Mundies. As for Gideon, he found his role had changed now to that of a Diplomat from the Queens between the newly formed Fabletown and its administration, led by King Cole as Mayor, as the Queens did not wish to bring themselves together for fear of their combined magic causing havoc on the Mundie World at large, or simply drawing unwanted attention to The Woodlands. Now, he represents the interests of the Sidhe Courts working to ensure that they heard, and works to deal with what he calls their ""domestic issues"". Even having gone to a new world, some things never change.<br/><br/>Belongings: Small one bed-room apartment, number 33 on the third floor of a set of low rent Apartments several blocks away from The Woodlands ""Lady Liberty Apartments"". There he has an ice chest filled with bread and assorted veggies, dozens of candles, a writer's desk, a small Davenport sofa, and a puzzle-box safe wherein he keeps these items: A Fae-crafted Blade to symbolize his authority as Mediator, 13 ounces of gold exactly, and his records of Fairies and their correspondence, written in Irish Gaelic. <br/><br/>He wears a soul stone necklace (used to keep track of his alignment, it looks similar to a ""Mood"" stone), a key to the aforementioned safe, one set of jeans, a dark green overcoat, running shoes, and a baseball cap for the Celtics. <br/><br/>Theme: <iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INaM813ohL8?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/>My Lips are sealed.

        Name: Mickey Gillespie<br/>Nickname: 'Flypaper Gillespie', 'Mick', 'That Fucking Irish Midget', 'Asshole', various other uncomplimentory names.<br/>Race: Leprechaun<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Appearance: Mickey looks pretty average for a Leprechaun, standing at a diminuitive 3 and a half feet, though broad of the shoulder and thick in the neck. His face is pretty brutish, with thin lips, a large, broken nose and a perminant sneer. His bright orange hair is starting to go gray and thinning at the top, though his muttonstace is as impressive as it ever was. Like most of his kind he favors cheap, green tweeds and a bowler hat, though he also sports a pair of expreisve gold-rimmed, purple-lensed specticals (More for show than for poor vision). In his glamoured form he appears to be little more than a tall, bull-necked bald White man with a penchent for jeans and bowling shirts.<br/><br/>Personality: Mickey can best be described as, in the words of Bigby Wolf, ""A low-life piece of shit that'd let every AIDS-ridden druggie in New York have a go at his sister for a hundred bucks."" He's a cheat and a totally untrustworthy creature, only managing to escape the Witching Well because he's good at covering his tracks. There is very little he won't do to make a profit, though he is a coward at heart, and as such usualy has some hired help to protect him.<br/><br/>Fable: There isn't much to be said about this piece of work. Back in the Homelands he made a comfortable living rooking just about everyone he came across. From (According to his word) Jack and his magic beans to convincing the Three Little Pigs to cut the costs on the contruction of their homes and then tipping off Bigby, he had a reputation as the preminant con-artist around. These days, though, he's down to working as a fence and petty drug dealer out of his Irish pub, O'Mallory's. Lately it's been rumored that he's selling black market glamours to the poorer Fables, and even more sinisterly, dealing magical items to Mundies, though nobody's been able to prove that. Not suprisingly, he gets along well with folks like Georgie (of who's club he is a regular customer), and rumored to be on Bluebeard's payroll.<br/><br/>Belongings: O'Mallory's, an Irish dive bar in the East Bronx not far from the Trip Trap. Woodlands Appartment 47. Plenty of cheap black market glamours and various drugs laying around his appartment for sale (though the weed is for his personal use.)<br/>Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA693mX0CyM<br/><br/>My Lips are Sealed.

</blockquote><br/><br/>I get'cha!<br/><br/>I took his role into consideration when creating the character sheet, as I also figured he wouldn't be as outgoing as other characters may be, though I'm happy to adopt a background role within the roleplay, and as you say, perhaps even look at playing a second fable.<br/><br/>Aside from that, I'll happily talk over any fluff with you regarding decisions and so-forth, and when the roleplay starts, I'm happy to do any collabs for the scenes that involve King Cole, since I suspect the majority of scenes involving him will be collaborative posts between several fables."

         With out his glamor Boogie is literally something out of nightmares. He is a even 8 feet tall with an almost skeleton like build. He has no hair but rather multiple horns and his skin becomes a void like color. His hands become large claws and his teeth becomes razor sharp fangs. He also sprouts two bat like wings. A shadow like mist also replaces his legs.

What seems to shock most people is his honesty, he rarely lies and seems unable to keep one going. He is rather loyal person, seeing the whole of Fabletown as kind of family that he is apart of. But what really gets people is how he is a hopeless romantic, loving romance novels and movies, sadly though he seems to scar off any potential happy ever afters.<br/><br/><b> Fable: </b>Before he left the homelands Boogie was a monster that terrorized wicked children with their own fears. He was the being that made people keep the candle on their night stand let all night, the reason parents told their kids to stay in when it was dark, but most importantly he was the reason people checked under his bed before they went to sleep. Despite the horrifying rumors that shrouded his name Boogie never ate the children he took, he merely filled their minds of their greatest fears until they swore they would never misbehave again, nothing to bad. Sadly that all changed when the Adversary started to take control of the homelands. Sure Boogie put up some sort of a fight but like so many Fables he eventually decided to abandon the homelands for somewhere new. He settled in Fabletown like the others, signing the Fabletown Compact. Boogie spent a few centuries doing random jobs just to get by but recently he opened his own Costume/Joke shop called Oogie Boogie's naughty thoughts.<br/><br/><b> Belongings: </b><br/>-An average income<br/>-A book of phobias<br/>-His store<br/>-Apartment 49 in the Woodlands<br/><br/><b> Theme: </b><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujzp9ffPwPM&amp;feature=kp""> When you're evil </a><br/><br/><b> My Lips are Sealed </b>"

He keeps his true intentions hidden, and although he is tough to read, he does have a caring heart for those in need.<br/><br/>Fable: The Changling Child, Gideon was a stolen from his human crib when he was a baby by one of Sidhe, the Fae Lords. Taken into the realm of Tir Na Nog, the realm of the Fairies, he was raised as a Fairy Child, gaining many Faerie characteristics such as black eyes, pointed ears, paler skin, along with agility and finese as his blood transfused with the intense magic to become half-Fae . Upon reaching adulthood, his God-Mother took him under her wing as her personal representative between the Summer and Winter Courts, where he learned the byzantine intrigues of Fairy politics and the constant exchanges and bargains for greater power.<br/>He hated his job as nothing but a dignified half-bred messenger, but being bound to his God-Mother he had little choice, until his God-Mother grew tired of him and gave him to both Queens of the Summer and Winter Courts as a gift they would have equal claim on depending on where his soul lay ""hot"" or ""cold"". Seeing the benefit in playing off of both sides, and knowing that even a half-Fae's soul alignment determined which court it was bound to serve, Gideon made certain to keep himself balanced in everything he did. He was inscrutable, one day he would help a particular Fae, the very next he would kick them out of the way. Another day he would kill troll, and in the next hour he would pay living expenses for that troll's wife. It was ludicrous, amoral, and extremely selfish, but that fit him right in with the Faeries and it secured him his position as Mediator between the Faeries of Summer and Winter, with the Queens, Lords, and Ladies of each side bidding with handsome bargains or ransoms for his services. This also included Fae dealings with other non-Fae races, where he kept up his strict philosophy of maintaining balance.<br/>Thing got shaken up quite substantially when the Adversary conquered the Homelands, Tir Na Nog was shattered and the Faerie Queens took off to the Mundy World with as much of their Courts as they could. But even in the Mundy World, their rivalries persisted, and now they had the perfect targets to trick, bargain, and persuade into deals to take advantage of people, Mundies. As for Gideon, he found his role had changed now to that of a Diplomat from the Queens between the newly formed Fabletown and its administration, led by King Cole as Mayor, as the Queens did not wish to bring themselves together for fear of their combined magic causing havoc on the Mundie World at large, or simply drawing unwanted attention to The Woodlands. Now, he represents the interests of the Sidhe Courts working to ensure that they heard, and works to deal with what he calls their ""domestic issues"". Even having gone to a new world, some things never change.<br/><br/>Belongings: Small one bed-room apartment, number 33 on the third floor of a set of low rent Apartments several blocks away from The Woodlands ""Lady Liberty Apartments"". There he has an ice chest filled with bread and assorted veggies, dozens of candles, a writer's desk, a small Davenport sofa, and a puzzle-box safe wherein he keeps these items: A Fae-crafted Blade to symbolize his authority as Mediator, 13 ounces of gold exactly, and his records of Fairies and their correspondence, written in Irish Gaelic.<br/><br/>He wears a soul stone necklace (used to keep track of his alignment, it looks similar to a ""Mood"" stone), a key to the aforementioned safe, one set of jeans, a dark green overcoat, running shoes, and a baseball cap for the Celtics.<br/><br/>Theme:<iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INaM813ohL8?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/>My Lips are sealed."

Normally though, since he is still half-human, he would be average size and still require a Glamour due to his Faerie traits. I'll leave it to your preference."

<br/>Oh, I didn't notice anyone else with the nickname Red. I just saw yours as Rose, so I figured y'know, I could use Red too. If you don't want to change yours, I could just get rid of the nickname, but I think it'd get tiresome to call her Rose Red all the time. If you do change it though, I'll switch over to Rose for the person who has Red. ^ sorry if that was a bit confusing, I almost lost myself while typing it.<br/>

<br/>I can add a ""more up to date"" pic if you want a more fairy like image of his true form in the Mundy world if you want, and shrinking may make sense, given that he would probably go personally to houses of pixies or little folk who are that small, and obviously he'd have to be able to enter and fit through the door to talk with them over tea or something like that. Normally though, since he is still half-human, he would be average size and still require a Glamour due to his Faerie traits. I'll leave it to your preference.<br/>

Not exactly how humans are born, now is it?)<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Appearance:<img src=""http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/969681-bigthumbnail.jpg""/><br/>Personality: Hard working, loyal to her family and friends, kind, reckless (tends to get herself in trouble sometimes), and determined.<br/>Fable: Hundreds of years ago, an honest old woodcutter and his wife found a peach. Within that peach was an infant and they named her Momoko, and raised her. Unlike most girls, Momoko grew up to be strong and a brave soul. One day, Momoko decided to go on a journey to ogres' island and steal their treasure. The foster parents warned her against it, but she was resolved to go and the foster parents gave her millet dumplings. Along the journey, Momoko befriended a monkey, a pheasant, and a dog. Together they reached the island and fought the ogres. Momoko and her friends were victorious and Momoko took the ogres' treasures and brought them back, and she and her family and friends lived happily ever after…at least, that's how the fable went.<br/><br/>After that happily ever after though, the ogres killed her family in revenge and she in return killed the ogres responsible for killing her family. After that, she lived until it was time to move to that new world. In this new world, she came to realize that what she did to the ogres was wrong in the first place, even though she did what she did in order to help her family. Now, she aspires to be part of law enforcement. Every day, she trains and keeps up her skills as a fighter.

His face is pretty brutish, with thin lips, a large, broken nose and a perminant sneer. His bright orange hair is starting to go gray and thinning at the top, though his muttonstace is as impressive as it ever was. Like most of his kind he favors cheap, green tweeds and a bowler hat, though he also sports a pair of expreisve gold-rimmed, purple-lensed specticals (More for show than for poor vision). In his glamoured form he appears to be little more than a tall, bull-necked bald White man with a penchent for jeans and bowling shirts.<br/><br/>Personality: Mickey can best be described as, in the words of Bigby Wolf, ""A low-life piece of shit that'd let every AIDS-ridden druggie in New York have a go at his sister for a hundred bucks."" He's a cheat and a totally untrustworthy creature, only managing to escape the Witching Well because he's good at covering his tracks. There is very little he won't do to make a profit, though he is a coward at heart, and as such usualy has some hired help to protect him.<br/><br/>Fable: There isn't much to be said about this piece of work. Back in the Homelands he made a comfortable living rooking just about everyone he came across. From (According to his word) Jack and his magic beans to convincing the Three Little Pigs to cut the costs on the contruction of their homes and then tipping off Bigby, he had a reputation as the preminant con-artist around. These days, though, he's down to working as a fence and petty drug dealer out of his Irish pub, O'Mallory's. Lately it's been rumored that he's selling black market glamours to the poorer Fables, and even more sinisterly, dealing magical items to Mundies, though nobody's been able to prove that. Not suprisingly, he gets along well with folks like Georgie (of who's club he is a regular customer), and rumored to be on Bluebeard's payroll.<br/><br/>Belongings: O'Mallory's, an Irish dive bar in the East Bronx not far from the Trip Trap. Woodlands Appartment 47. Plenty of cheap black market glamours and various drugs laying around his appartment for sale (though the weed is for his personal use.)<br/>Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA693mX0CyM<br/><br/>My Lips are Sealed."

</div><br/><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/><br/>Those who know Snow only passingly, or have met her entirely during 'business' hours often mistake her for being overly serious, instead, she is simply highly motivated in her role as director of operations, and somewhat introverted after her divorce of Prince Charming. When dealing with those she trusts, or simply while not working, a more compassionate and easy going side of her becomes noticeable, a girl who likes to laugh and experience the fun of life, although it doesn't take much, in the way of reminding her of the past, to send her back into introversion once more.<br/><br/><b>Fable:</b><br/><br/>Snow White and Rose Red were born into a poor peasant family. They were incredibly close as they grew up, promising each other that they would be best friends forever. At some point in her early life, she had a bad experience with seven dwarfs, possibly being raped by them. Eventually, Snow White met and fell in love with Prince Charming, becoming his first wife. Shortly after, she asked for fencing lessons as her wedding present. It's possible she used her lessons to kill the seven dwarfs, but it was never proven. Rose Red felt betrayed and abandoned, and grew to resent her sister. Snow eventually sent for Rose to come and live with her and Charming, but by then it was too late.Snow soon discovered Rose and Charming having an affair - she disowned Rose and divorced Charming.<br/><br/>Following the Adversary's invasion of her kingdom, Snow White and Rose Red fled together, having heard of a gateway to another world beyond the Adversary's reach. Along the way, they found Frau Totenkinder and nursed her back to health. They were separated shortly after. They were both captured by the Adversary's forces and chained up together. Their captors were slain by the Big Bad Wolf, who had taken on the task of guarding the gate. Snow White immediately took up one of her captor's swords to defend herself against the Wolf, and was surprised when the Wolf willingly freed them from their bonds. When the Wolf offered to take her through the gate in exchange for a taste of her flesh (in order to ensure that she was not in the service of the Adversary), she agreed.<br/><br/>In the mundane world, Snow White came to live in New Amsterdam, where she would be instrumental in founding both Fabletown and the Farm, although the latter didn't sit particularly well with her. While never running for Mayor, she has been the Director of Operations for as long as any can seem to remember, particularly those who have only arrived in Fabletown recently, now housed well within the urban confines of New York, as it is now called. As well as helping to run Fabletown, Snow was also briefly an ambassador to the Arabian realms, to help organize them against the crusaders of the Adversary. Instead, she was kidnapped by the Sultan, to be his wife and then slain the next day, instead, she survived by telling the harsh ruler one story each night for 1001 nights, earning her freedom, many gifts and becoming one of the few fables to inspire a new legend after the fall of their own homeland. After this event, Snow White returned to the mundane world, eventually deciding to seek out Bigby to bring him to Fabletown.<br/><br/>Most recently, Snow has survived the revolution of the Farm, due to the actions of her sister, which has resulted in some level of healing between the two, as well as a greater interest from the inhabitants of Fabletown with the farm, either as a threat, or an area that requires much greater development.<br/><br/><b>Belongings:</b><br/><br/>-Woodlands Apartment<br/>-Expansive wardrobe, due to often travelling across the realms<br/>-Gifts of the Sultan: Including such items as a flying carpet and a pair of shrinkable/expandable clockwork soldiers, she posses a wide array of useful/quirky gifts from her time in the Arabian homelands.<br/>-Director of Operations<br/>-Rapier, rarely carried beyond her apartment.<br/><br/>Theme: WIP"

After what had happened before he was not in the mood to have to redo everything. After his last attempt at this he thought it a miracle he could get this going. He was not going to flee and or burn down this guild. Nope not again and he would die before losing everything. Course he did not like thinking about that. Not after all he had lost.<br/><br/>He had just come out of the gym. A ragged and tired looking thing that most would not consider a gym. Booker thought it had style and class. The boxing ring in the center had a bit of emotional significance but that was a story for a later day. His new recruits were coming in today. A strange bunch they were. There was a sort of even number of both genders and none of them were slouches in their fields. A few otf the guys Booker was sort of excited to challenge to a fight. You leanred a lot about a person by fighting them. Though most had the same story or so he thought. Some sort of thing led them to a life of robbery and thus to him. He had personally recruited them himself. In person since he thought that it had been a good touch. None of them had seen his face since he had placed the plague doctor mask over his face. Again he was a bit dramatic but again class and all that.<br/><br/>He sat down behind the bar and started to pour himself a drink. Whiskey on the rocks since it was his favorite. He grabbed a seat by the projector and awaited his new recruits. None of them would know who he was. His mask covered his voice and face rather well. He had told them how to get here. It was simple just follow the red line till they found the location. A non descript door. He would know who they were instantly."

It was an offer for some kind of thief club, she had accepted the offer of course, it was an opportunity she couldn't afford to pass up. Since he had worn a mask she had gotten her own she eyed it with a weary look, she hadn't chosen it to be particularly concealing but now she was having second thoughts. Jacquelyn put the mask in her bag and followed the red line. Eventually she reached a normal-looking door, she approached it cautiously and entered to find a tastefully decorated room. In front of what appeared to be a projector screen sat the same man who had recruited her. Jacquelyn sat in the chair next to him, ""I brought a mask but I don't find it necessary to wear it at the moment, though I would like to know if is it required? I didn't wear it because I figured if I can't trust this team with at least my face then I don't think I should be working with them."" Jacquelyn wasn't trying to sound harsh but she would not be able to work with people she could not trust, she wasn't going to go around telling them her life story and expect theirs in return but she needed to be some trust between her and the others."

His footsteps lowered to a near inaudible tap. A door stood before him, where the red line he had been following for sometime ended. 'Not the most discreet places for a hideout entrance.' Stiles thought to himself. ""This guy had better not be a cop."" He muttered. Stiles reached for the doorknob surprised that it was unlocked. He walked in seeing two others one sitting, the other with a drink. Stiles approached heavily on guard. The place wasn't half bad, everything looked like it had been carefully picked out. Stiles assumed none of the room's contents had been obtained legally.""Afternoon. You know this place isn't very well hidden."" He spoke softly. The girl had some sort of mask with her."

""Right, time to go and introduce myself"" She smiled to herself as she spoke quietly under her breath, waiting a few moments after the man entered before she decided to go and push the door open and enter herself. Upon entering Alexis noticed that aside from the man she followed, there was a second man and a woman with a mask who appeared to be waiting in the seats. As quietly as she could so not to disturb the silence Alexis pushed the door open more, carefully hauling in her large load behind her and moving off to find a place to store it all. She wanted to make sure it stayed safe and that no one touched it, she hated it when people touched her stuff without asking first since she had worked so hard to putting it all together."

Counting from zero up in binary was just a way he calmed his nerves. Thinking through the masked man's visit he was intrigued by this idea. It was his understanding that he would be working with a team.... that was actually a new concept to him. Frightened by the idea of having his identity open, when he got close to the non descript door, he pulled a mask out of his pocket. He'd gotten it free with the PC version of Call of Duty Ghosts he'd 'bought' and quite loved it. It would be his face for now.

He had hand picked each one for their skills as thieves or in some cases for other reasons. He knew that there was two tech experts, Jason and Alexis. Well according to what he had found that's what he thought. Of course they could be something else but he did not know technology. The rest were each experts as well.Booker had flown around the world to get them here and it showed. A diverse group was what he needed. No one remembered the groups if they were random. A group of sketchy white dudes? Yah people remembered them.<br/><br/>""Of course you do not need the mask right now, Jacquelyn. But is is needed later. I mean mine was custom made."" he said taking his plague mask out of a box by his feet. He figured they all would recognize it. He had tracked down those deemed impossible to find. Most had warrents out for their arrests. If Interpol or the CIA could not find you then you were doing something right.<br/><br/>""How do you know this is not secret? That the door you came through is not wired? If I could hunt you all down I am willing to bet I can keep a place hidden. Trust me, Stiles we are safe here."" He said using the man's name. Why not he knew them all. He noticed Alexis standing quietly to the side. ""Come on over and sit down, Alexis. Oh where are my manners? Any of you want a drink? I am willing to bet the bar has your brand."" He offered to them taking a drink as another guy came in. The hacker Jason. He smiled at the guy. ""Sit make yourselves at home, Jason"" He stood up.<br/><br/>""Alright here is the deal. You all are the best of the best. I need the best. Why? Because I plan on being a rich man and I want to make you all rich too. We steal from the rich and powerful and give to ourselves. Simple really."" He motioned to the area around him.

She decided to test his knowledge, he might have Alexis's favorite drink but she highly doubted he had hers. ""I don't have any questions but I could use a drink."" She excused her self and after a bit of searching the bar what she found astonished her; a bottle of red wine from the local vineyard she lived by when she was younger. Jacquelyn couldn't help the wide grin that spread across her face, after her move she hadn't been able to secure a single glass. She wasted no time pouring herself some, this man had just earned a good deal of respect from her. Returning to her seat she nodded her approval to the guy. ""Great!

She excused her self and after a bit of searching the bar what she found astonished her; a bottle of red wine from the local vineyard she lived by when she was younger. Jacquelyn couldn't help the wide grin that spread across her face, after her move she hadn't been able to secure a single glass. She wasted no time pouring herself some, this man had just earned a good deal of respect from her. Returning to her seat she nodded her approval to the guy. ""Great! We all know each others names, except for yours."" She glanced up at him hoping to get some information about him.<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>He had always been taught that first impressions were everything. What better way than with booze? He had researched each of their favorite drinks and why. However he did not think it his place to say why. For example he had done a bit of research into Stiles' sister but not too much. The guy had earned some privacy when it came to his personal life. Jacquelyn's drink had been a red wine from a vineyard from when she was a child. He had no dug too deep into why and red wines were not his thing. He being uncouth that way. They both had valid questions and required answers. "" Who am I you ask? Booker Conway is how you can call me. Mind you that is not my real name but you will have to earn my trust to get my real namer."" He said flashing her a winning smile. He thought that the smile was his best trait. He used iut when he was trying to be charming.<br/><br/>He looked at Stiles. ""I agree that it kills. However some of us have things we need to forget and it helps. "" He said noticing Stiles seeing the vodka he had left out for him. He had not expected him to drink it ""There is no honor in robbing the innocent. I plan on taking out the scum of this earth. Taking from the rich taht which they took. Perhaps giving a bit back to the victims. Though the main goal is stealing from the wealthy to teach them a lesson. I operate it as me in charge. I have a plan and we go from there."" He said still smiling as he took a drink. ""Isn't that what you all stand for? Robbing the rich and powerful?"" He asked the group."

""Well I'd go more with taking what I need and usually way more, but stealing from those who deserve it is fun too."" Jacquelyn returned his smile with one of her own, Booker was showy indeed but it was endearing in a funny sort of way, she wasn't about to let his charm get to her head though. ""I do love a high and mighty target, you have to shoot higher and harder and when they fall, well it doesn't get much better than that. Any one in particular or are we saving that for later?"" Jacquelyn's curiosity was eating away at her."

His eyes often darted from place to place, making it obvious he was not at ease and was ready to bolt if he felt threatened. Ashton pulled the mask over his face, leaving only narrowed eyes uncovered. Approaching the end of the line, he saw another man who was just entering. Looking around the man's shoulders he saw more people inside. Ashton patted down his hair, suddenly becoming self-conscious as he grew more nervous. When Jason had went inside, Ashton quickly followed suit.

Simple enough.</i>The sound of Eric's thoughts boomed over the passing of the subway cars overhead, mentally repeating the instructions he had been a short time ago. The memory had struck out sporadically and vividly in his mind since, the veiled face of ""Booker Conway"" imprinted against the backdrop of a burning police cruiser etched into his eyelids and the sound of the distorted voice of the masked man echoing through his ears even when other noise should have drowned it out. Since that days, the words, half instructions to a better way of serving the people and half directions to this new, subterranean abode, were all that Eric could grasp within his thoughts.<br/><br/><i>""If you want to help the <b>real</b> people and serve <b>true</b> justice, then you'll follow the red line...</i><br/><br/>There had been further instructions; a penned point-list and map of where to go and how to get there. Eric had set that into the first firing barrel he could find in the slums and let it burn; he had memorized the information quite quickly, through some mental rehearsal and visualizations. To no surprise of his, it had worked. He had found the red line that Conway told him about, and at that very minute was following it on the home stretch, carrying a suitcase and an expensive looking tack box overflowing with his tools-of-trade.<br/><br/>With a shrug of his arm, he checked his wristwatch, accelerating without skipping a beat; he was running late, courtesy of the lovely people at the stage company who insisted on explaining everything he already knew about every product he had purchased. Soon thereafter, he caught a glimpse of another young fellow, entering a door that matched Booker's specifications. Sprinting silently to cover the distance, he slipped just before the door closed, and just in time to get the brief scoop on his new team's first assignment. ""So it'll be a good old cast party to kick off our opening act eh? I like it."""

She asked uncertain as she tilted her head to try and think, Alexis did like to drink but she never bothered to remember the names of her favourite drinks. Shrugging the hacker then turned to here the others were sitting in the sitting area of the large room, her eyes moving over them all before she found place to sit and went down to sit there, though she kept a close eye on her luggage and was sitting closer to it to so that she could make sure the no one would touch her baby.<br/>Alexis was very protective of her stuff when it came to computers and other tech, often referring to them as her baby or babies and takes good care of them, she will snap at anyone who even goes near her life's work that stayed hidden within those boxes and bags.<br/>As she was thinking this she noticed that the leader guy was introducing himself and giving an assignment to them, she found that rather odd as everyone just got here and needed to settle in, leaving her computers stuck boxes and bags until further notice was going to have her worried for the whole thing. Hearing the part about security Alexis raised her hand to try and get the man's attention ""Um...sir? I just want to ask, do you know what kind of security they have?""

He needed to knit pick everything about the building; measurements, rooms, heights,lengths. Everything needs to be over-analysed. Stiles wouldn't loose anyone to stupid mistakes, not again. He looked up again to the vodka perched on the bar. Getting up from his seat he approached the bottle. Stiles held the bottle curiously, looking at the brand name, the coarse texture, the ovular shape, everything is exactly the same as he remembers. He could always remember the hint of cherry and ethanol in Delilah's breath. Stiles shook is head trying to push his sister's image away for a later time."

If anyone was following him that he missed then they were lost for sure after his walk in the sewers. He arrived at the base then walked in.

Even so early on, it was looking like a colorfully diverse gathering, both culturally and professionally.<br/><br/>When all had been said with regard to the assignment, Eric waited, and took his turn to speak in the wake of a jittery young woman sitting down in front of him. He raised his hand and gave his piece: ""If you need someone with you on the inside, I'm your man. What would you need? A partner to act as another guest?

</blockquote><br/><br/>""It was a Chat room, they are totally insecure if you can find the right point of entrance, took me no less than a few minutes, though I have been doing this for a long time and I have yet to find something that is a challenge nowadays"" The hacker grinned a little as she turned from her computer and looked towards Neisha, Having a look at what she was doing with her equipment.<br/>""And sure I can help you with security, anything you want to learn I think I can teach you, I'm not the greatest teacher though so be warned"" she said still with that grin on her face ""So what is all this stuff you have here? A few lock picks and a jammer and a few others things from what I can see, You are prepared for this"" she continued to talk as she got down onto the floor with the other girl. Alexis picked up one of the Scanners and had a close look at it, nodding her head a little like she was seeing something interesting."

Her head was tilted very slightly, a gesture that was common when she was curious about something. She padded in silently, her socks masking her very light footfalls. Before she got close enough for them to see her without turning, she spoke up. ""So what's a jammer? Does it break alarms? Why don't you just use the alarm code, or interrupt the current to the system? Or, oh- oh, even better-"" Her childishness was showing through her excitement and her brightened eyes. And there, in the cheerful wickedness of her smile, was the budding thief. ""Better yet, you make the alarm glitch. A week before you go in for real, you tweak the alarm to go off at random intervals. Make it unpredictable. Make it annoying. Make it so they start to ignore the alarm. And then when it actually does go off- they'll think it's fake. Like that one story.. ah... the boy who called wolf or something..."""

If I could steal the alarm code, I would, but somethings that has a trigger in on itself. The jammer makes it so I can't be seen, I can get in and out easily without fear of being caught, or of leaving digital footprints of myself running around so the cops can find me. The trouble with some alarms is that the company will send out the cops, so this is the safest option""<br/><br/>She picked up a scanner, ""This, if I can get close enough, tells me how many people are in a building, or where people are, or what security I can be up against"" she set it down, picking up her lock picks, ""Obviously, these are lock picks. I learned how to use them when I was younger then you, I am guessing""<br/><br/>She smiled, ""You give me anything to do with technology, I can build it, take it apart, make it better"""

It's sort of nice, learning how to pick each one. Learning the differences, and then that feeling when it pops open..."" She let out a giggle of devious glee. ""What I really like, though, is taking apart things and fixing them. My brother's boyfriend found me in his tech-cave - he calls it that - and he got really pissed because I started dismantling this really old computer tower he had in there. But then he stopped being pissed when I put it back together and it turned on... he said it'd been shit for years but he kept it for... umm..."" Her nose wrinkled as she tried to remember the phrase.

I once built a computer that could do all the things my tools could, but it got destroyed and I haven't had the money to build another one.

</div>
</div><br/><br/>Skills/ Weapons: Alexis is very skilled when it comes to technology, always able to hack into a security system and get doors open or disable security cameras, she is a wiz on computers taking her only minutes to seconds to hack a secure system depending on how secure it is.<br/>This doesn't fall sort of hacking into bank system and stealing their money, even hacking into a game if she is bored and messing with peoples accounts. As long it is technology of almost any kind and it can be accessed over the internet or if she can get her own personal mini computer to it or rewired nothing is safe.<br/>Alexis isn't the greatest fighter one can have in their team, though this doesn't mean she can't fight at all as she carries with her two daggers for emergencies. This thief however if given the option will simply run away from battle and leave others to fight for her, or she will hack into turrets if any happen to be around and stay safely behind it.<br/><br/>History: Alexis has always been one for computers and technology, ever since she was little and when ever she got a chance she was pulling something apart or changing something's programming, it came as naturally to her as breathing or walking.<br/>As good as she was though Alexis when she was first starting out at hacking once forgot to cover her tracks, quickly she was found out and taken to trail, found guilty and sent to Juvenile hall while being disowned by her own family.<br/>When she got out from Juvenile hall Alexis quickly found that she had no place to return to as she was kicked from her home, finding herself on the streets and things from there on out kept getting worse. She was alone, homeless, hungry and dirty and lived this way for two years at least until she was founded by a street gang who took her in, quickly discovering her abilities and using it to all their advantages. It didn't take very long for the young female to gain a high ranking status within the gang as because of her they did much better than they ever have done before.<br/>She was with this group for a good few years before deciding to move on and use her abilities to do even greater things, soon being taken in by the organization that specialize in thieving and she has been with them ever since. Never wishing to return to her family or old live, though occasionally she will disappear for a day or two, to help out her old gang when they are in a tight spot. Weather it be bailing them from jail or helping them hack their way into a building, sometimes simply just to visit them as she could never just leave them and not have anything to do with them any more.<br/><br/>Other: Alexis chooses her mask to be a blank face for a reason, No one knows who you are over the internet, you can be anyone or even just a bot created by someone. Her mask style and even the pattern is picked to symbolize exactly this.<br/>Alexis doesn't have the healthiest diet either as it consist mainly of Pizza and fizzy drinks, if she was given the choice it would be all she would eat and drink and she wouldn't move from her personalized computer system. one would need to keep an eye on this one to make sure she gets off her ass and eats something healthy."

He can learn to blend with just about any crowd and fit into any environment without losing step. With an aptitude for acting and a proficiency in theatrical make-up and costuming techniques to change face, Eric is a good man to have on the inside of a job before the fact, and can just as soon cover the tracks in the aftermath. He fearlessly and aptly fills roles as an informant, a roadblock to pursuers and sometimes even a patsy. Drawing from what little experience he has from stage management and student-directing, he isn't half bad at coming up with skeleton plans for operations; he sees a heist as similar to a play and the location as a set, with the organization being very similar to blocking out the movement and actions of actors.<br/><br/><i>Self-Defense &amp; Combat;</i>While not necessarily an expert in combat, Eric has trained both formally and informally in self-defense, and can get himself out of a jam if something doesn't go according to plan. His focus is mostly in hand-to-hand combat and he's good at working in tight spaces and in crowds. He can generally pick up most close-quarters weapons without issues and can figure out basic firearms on the fly.<br/><br/><b>History:</b>A man of the theater by virtue of study, through college Eric learned the trades of both sides of spectacle, making him both a proficient actor and a well-versed technician and designer. Originally, he took these skills into the field of law enforcement, assisting both civil police and government agencies as a plant with suspects ranging from individual crime bosses, street gangs and more notorious syndicates. However, following a fateful run-in with one Booker Conway, Eric became disenchanted with his role as a mole for the law. Realizing that most of what he was working to protect was probably better off being stolen, broken or undone, he answered his new calling with Conway's growing band of thieves.<br/><br/><b>Other:</b><br/>- The name ""Eric O'Shea"" is, more than likely, an alias to cover his tracks. It is also likely that he has permanently modified his appearance to avoid being found by his former employers.<br/>- Eric's mask made from a thick mesh material that functions in a way similar to a two-way mirror, allowing him to (when wearing it properly) to see out from it while still keeping his face hidden."

He has a mess of very dark red hair that is often hanging over his eyes. It is wavy and fluffy. Ashton has very feminine features, and people do sometimes mistake him as a girl. Which he does not mind much, but he gets tired of correcting people constantly. His eyes are a gray/silver color. Freckles dot his skin, on his cheeks and from his shoulders down his arms. On his back are pale, faded scars. Trailing across the right side of his jawline is a deep scar. He often has an expression of annoyance on his face.<br/>

Ashton was soon discovered by other criminals, who had heard of a string of robberies that were impressive by their standards.

<br/>Not sure if there's space here. But it looks like it could be a fun time; plus I think I've got a role that hasn't been filled in. Eric ""Faces"" O'Shea 25 True to his street name, Eric is a man capable of donning variety of faces, both figuratively and literally, and puts his theatrical studies to work in the field. He can learn to blend with just about any crowd and fit into any environment without losing step. With an aptitude for acting and a proficiency in theatrical make-up and costuming techniques to change face, Eric is a good man to have on the inside of a job before the fact, and can just as soon cover the tracks in the aftermath. He fearlessly and aptly fills roles as an informant, a roadblock to pursuers and sometimes even a patsy. Drawing from what little experience he has from stage management and student-directing, he isn't half bad at coming up with skeleton plans for operations; he sees a heist as similar to a play and the location as a set, with the organization being very similar to blocking out the movement and actions of actors. While not necessarily an expert in combat, Eric has trained both formally and informally in self-defense, and can get himself out of a jam if something doesn't go according to plan. His focus is mostly in hand-to-hand combat and he's good at working in tight spaces and in crowds. He can generally pick up most close-quarters weapons without issues and can figure out basic firearms on the fly. A man of the theater by virtue of study, through college Eric learned the trades of both sides of spectacle, making him both a proficient actor and a well-versed technician and designer. Originally, he took these skills into the field of law enforcement, assisting both civil police and government agencies as a plant with suspects ranging from individual crime bosses, street gangs and more notorious syndicates. However, following a fateful run-in with one Booker Conway, Eric became disenchanted with his role as a mole for the law. Realizing that most of what he was working to protect was probably better off being stolen, broken or undone, he answered his new calling with Conway's growing band of thieves. - The name ""Eric O'Shea"" is, more than likely, an alias to cover his tracks. It is also likely that he has permanently modified his appearance to avoid being found by his former employers. - Eric's mask made from a thick mesh material that functions in a way similar to a two-way mirror, allowing him to (when wearing it properly) to see out from it while still keeping his face hidden.<br/>

Wearing personalities like costumes, she makes sense of the world and herself by choosing who to become to best fit the situation, emotionally manipulating people into getting what she wants. She is not a fighter, but has very good aim with darts and carries them along with a knife for picking locks.<br/><br/>History: Tara came from a broken home, her father choosing his career over their small family. Her parent's divorce left her mother a shell of the person she had been before, emotionally abandoning her only child. Bullied and ignored by the children in school, Tara's bitterness and naturally short temper left her hating everyone, including herself. It was when she was cast in a minor roll in a middle school play that she realized her potential to become someone else and before long... she had. As a character, her temper was mostly controllable. She could make people like her. She could be someone who was loved. Only no amount of acting could bring back her parents... or even cause her new-found friendships to mean anything. After an unfortunate incident involving the death of the closest person she had to a friend, Tara runs away, stealing her mother's jewelry and pawning it for passage into the city. It didn't take long to situate herself comfortably enough, living off the good nature of others with her lies. Lying lead to stealing. Stealing lead to bigger cons.

<br/>Name: TaraAge: 21Pic: Mask: Skills: A natural actress, Tara truly believes that all the world is a stage. Wearing personalities like costumes, she makes sense of the world and herself by choosing who to become to best fit the situation, emotionally manipulating people into getting what she wants. She is not a fighter, but has very good aim with darts and carries them along with a knife for picking locks.History: Tara came from a broken home, her father choosing his career over their small family. Her parent's divorce left her mother a shell of the person she had been before, emotionally abandoning her only child. Bullied and ignored by the children in school, Tara's bitterness and naturally short temper left her hating everyone, including herself. It was when she was cast in a minor roll in a middle school play that she realized her potential to become someone else and before long... she had. As a character, her temper was mostly controllable. She could make people like her. She could be someone who was loved. Only no amount of acting could bring back her parents... or even cause her new-found friendships to mean anything. After an unfortunate incident involving the death of the closest person she had to a friend, Tara runs away, stealing her mother's jewelry and pawning it for passage into the city. It didn't take long to situate herself comfortably enough, living off the good nature of others with her lies. Lying lead to stealing. Stealing lead to bigger cons. Her entire life became a game of tricking others for both her dinner and personal amusement, and stealing what she didn't necessarily need simply to torture others. Other: Tara hates her real name and never goes by it, choosing to live as her characters instead.<br/>

A lone oldman walked slowly down the deserted road his worn coat nearly tatters. Gunshots could be heard in the distance and a raging fire burnt brightly nearby. He clutched his small handgun, ammunition running out long ago. he hobbled into a small shed and just as he passed the doorway, a bullet whipped past his head. He quickly ducked but the next shot hit him square in the back. He fell and didn't get back up as the lone rifle man walked over to scavenge his body.<br/>Just another life taken in the wasteland."

She took of her coat and put in inside her backpack which was hanging from her bike, her katana, the only thing she could trust in on her back, she started to drive aimlessly, through that creepy place, she heard the gunshots, one is particular seemed to be really close."

It had been several days since their last raid, and although there was still more than enough food and supplies to keep them going for at least two weeks, the group was looking to increase their stock, '<i>Chester, you stay and watch our gear, the rest of you lot with me.</i>"" one of the bandits, a stocky man with greasy blond hair, and a nose that looked like it had been on the receiving end of one too many bar brawls, grunted out to one of the others. Chester nodded and picked up his weapon of choice -a machete- and twirled it a few times, ""<i>You got it Cliff. Hey, try to bring back a woman will you? Alive this time, I don't feel like fucking a dead body.</i>"". The group shared a laugh, then four of the men wandered away to inspect the gunshot, this was the moment that Dimitri Campbell was waiting for. For days, Dimitri had trailed the group from a distance, watching them, getting to know their patterns; eat, drink, sleep, piss, shit, kill, steal, and when they ran across an unfortunate woman, rape. Dimitri had wanted so many times to confront the group when they found some unfortunate soul, but as much as he disliked sitting idly, he knew it wasn't worth the risk. They had numbers on their side, jumping it would be suicide.<br/><br/>Now however, one of the men was all on his own, something DImitri had eagerly waited for. After waiting for fifteen minutes, Dimitri looked down at the watch on his wrist, '8:09 am' blinked onto the LED screen in short intervals, any moment now, yup, just like clockwork, ol' Chester set down his weapon and sauntered a few feet away from his camp, then dropped trough. Dimitri sprung into action, quickly and quietly closing the distance as he'd done so many times, stopping whenever Chester seemed to move his head to the side. The bandit hunter crept in, so close that he could hear the sound of urine hitting the ground, and worse, smell it. Dimitri drew his tomahawk and crossed the kast two feet that would bring him into striking distance, ""Hey, how's it goin'?"", ""<i>What the f-</i>"". Chester's exclamation would forever remain unfinished thanks to the spiked end of the tomahawk, which had found itself lodged in the bandit's head with a sound similar to the smashing of an over ripened melon. Dimitri grimaced as the bandit crumpled, landing in his own urine, ""That is NOT a dignified way to go out..."" he muttered before yanking his weapon free of Chester's head and setting about raiding the camp for anything of value. He was out in less than twelve minutes, now five cans of soup and eight full cigarette cartons heavier. Dimitri didn't smoke, but he knew that the tobacco sticks would fetch a nice price when it came time to trade. He thought it funny, in a world where people fought their damnedest to see the next day, a few were willing to trade one kind of death for another."

Not having the skills to fix it. He looked over the older mans pockets and soon realised the man had nothing of value. Just the clothe son his back ""How the hell did you survive so long?!"" He said annoyed as he sighed loudly ""Wasn't worth the trouble of losing a bullet..."" He checked his rifle , three rounds left in the internal magazine. He pocketed the hull of the spent round and loaded the chamber, racking the bolt on his rifle.<br/>He heard people close by and quickly lift up his bandana over his face and hid inside the shed, making sure the body wasn't visible from outside."

The first few weeks where the worst but societies began to form, walls erected and the government has started to act The British Disastor Specialists (BDS) are attempting to create the safe zones but some people prefer to stay out in the wastelands. They say the government is ruling with an iron fist in these zones oppressing anyone who defies their ways. These are only rumours though and so i can only tell you what i have heard. I am writing from a settlement called Hope, many survivors have been seeking refuge here it is run by a militia, The Freedom Fighters (TFF) and i have heard the camp you are at is run by a similar group.

He'd been living there for just over a year and a half when the bomb had dropped and everything went to shit. Over the last six months, Dimitri has adapted surprisingly well, reverting to that basic fight or flight instinct that dwells within all living beings with very little effort. Also strangely enough, he actively seeks out bandit groups rather than avoiding them like other people would do, picking off the stragglers who wander too far, then looting them for anything of value before moving on."

To ensure that the Kishin never regain their hold on this world, this Academy was founded by the Grim Reaper, Death himself. So basically we're an organization that serves to protect and preserve peace! I guess it's not exactly a typical school. Oh well, that isn't important! For now, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!""</i><br/> -Grim Reaper</center><hr/>May walked up to the school wearing her typical outfit which consisted of a black tank top that shows her stomach paired with black jean short shorts, black boots that reach to her knee and have red on the sole and a red line on the top. She then paired it with a red jacket that is gray on the inside and has tight sleeves to the elbows before loosening and ending with a black strip. Her silver/ white hair was up in a ponytail with a black ribbon holding it up.<br/>Unlike most people, this was her first day ever. As her family knew, she had problems with madness and the black blood inside of her and she had to learn to contain the demon inside her before she could come to school but at least she had already found a partner a long time ago thanks to her parents childhood friends. May looked around for anyone she recognized like her brother, meister, or any other friends.<br/><br/><center> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</center><br/>Kat walked to the school in her normal witch type outfit until she remembered that this was a school who hunted witch/magical beings so she chanted to herself. ""Pum- Pum- Pumpkin.... Halloween Switcheroo!"" Her clothing glowed an orange color and when it was gone her hair was in two loose ponytails with purple ribbons. She wore a purple cropped tanktop that was really tight and hung low, it was paired with a black miniskirt with an orange belt, black heeled boots reaching to her knees, and a black leather jacket. Kat was just like her mother, everything she wore was very, appealing to the male population. Sometimes she went a little overboard but what could she do, she was a Cat Demon after all so she was comfortable in her own skin and nothing else. But not only was she a Cat Demon, she was also a meister and has attend DWMA since she was 10 and first began learning about all of the things needed of a meister. She soon had met a boy her same age who was a male witch and a weapon. They had the same problem, both were slightly outcast by the students because of their magic and not being just a normal weapon and meister. They learned their soul's matched and decided to work together. They have made friends with the children of Blair's friends and are accepted by them but others still doubt them. But at least the two have eachother."

He looked to the watch on his wrist ""He's late"" Flint muttered to himself ""She is always late..."" He sighed. Flint was waiting for Ilya to arrive so that they could go to their first lesson together. It then dawned on Flint that today was the day his sister was enrolling. ""I should look out for her make sure no-one does anything stupid with her...."" Flint thought to himself as he continued to look over the main entrance. ""Where the hell is he! He's 2 minutes late"" Flint murmured. One of the many pet peeves of his was time keeping and so it always winded him up when she would do this. He looked to his watch once again as he let out another sigh. It wasn't even as if he or Ilya where actually late for a lesson or anything. It was just that Flint prepared for them both to be here ten minutes early and for her to not be here at this time meant that Flint considered himself and Ilya to be 'late'. He checked his watch once again. The hand ticked to the side "" Three minutes late!"" He thought annoyed. Tapping his foot on the ground gently"

While he wasn't suffering from the same level of prejudice as before, he still got a few nasty looks from time to time. The only person in the world he felt safe with was his meister; Kat. She was a shameless flirt, but he really didn't mind that much. Despite being quite shy, when ever she teased him, it made him feel wanted, regardless of how much it flustered. He was starting to lose hope that he would find before class started...then he saw her ""Kat!"" He called out excited as he ran to his meister"

""Ryan-Chan, you finally arrived ~nya!"" Kat said hugging Ryan. ""How is my favorite witch boy!"" She said her cat ears popping up because she really only felt comfortable showing them around Ryan. ""Oops"" She said covering her ears with her hands as people began to look. Her cat ears dissappeared and she continued smiling. ""Now that the strong man is here we can head into the school."" She said flirting slightly cause it was fun to make him flustered.<br/><br/><center>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</center><br/>May saw her brother and headed over to him. ""Flint... What do I do?"" She asked him. ""I want to have a cool day at school, but not knowing what to do is not cool."" She said before waiting for her older brother to answer."

Only she could make a derogatory term like 'witch boy' sound so warm. He did however frown briefly when she hid her ears, it was such a shame to keep them out of sight. Ryan thought they were just so cute; so fuzzy and soft. It would feel so good to just reach out and-<br/><br/>-Gah! Bad brain, don't go there. Before he could even think of something else, Kat said ""<i>Now that the strong man is here we can head into the school.</i>""<br/><br/>""Meep"" Ryan squeaked at the sound of her rather suggestive voice, his face as red as a cherry. ""O-o-okay"" he said"

That morning her father had attempted to convince her to remove the tattoo that she had on the back of her leg, she made sure he knew that she didn't appreciate that by wearing a pair of pants that she had modified. Originally they were just a normal pair of jeans, now one leg went down to her ankle and the other stopped at her mid thigh which showed off her tattoo. Needless to say she was pleased with herself this morning, but she was also looking to avoid her big sister who also didn't seem to pleased with her, then again her sister never seemed pleased to begin with. Now though she was looking for her partner, Aoi, she was hoping to tell him of her latest victory.<hr/>Sakura dashed around her house, struggling to get dressed. She had once again woken up late and was rushing to make sure she got to class on time. She had stayed up a little too late trying to make a present for Kiel, but unfortunatly for her she wasn't blessed with good cooking skills and so it took longer than necessary to make the cookies taste right. She quickly pulled her thigh high tan boots on before grabbing the bag of sugar cookies that she had made and running out the door ""Bye Mum!"" Her dad was obviously still alseep so there was no need to say goodbye to him. She just hoped Kiel wasn't waiting on her, that would suck. ""Why did i have to wake up late!?"" she exclaimed as she pushed herself to run faster"

He yawned as he walked he was tired because he didn't sleep well last night worried about his partner's first day. As he got to the top he looked around then saw May next to her brother. He could understand that since Flint could help her out on such a day. He walked over to them and said ""Morning."""

May asked keeping a cool tone just like her father. She grinned showing her sharp teeth as she turned her head, eyes no longer focusing on her brother but now on her partner. ""Hopefully both of you will help make this day a cool one.""<br/><br/><center> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</center><br/>Kat giggled as her partners face turned bright red. ""You are sometimes too easy to tease."" Kat said as she walked towards the school with her partner at her side. Even the way she walked was bed appealing to the opposite sex so she received a lot of looks from male students who then gave Ryan a glare. Kat noticed and took Ryan's arm in hers. ""Just ignore them Ryan-chan. I know that you have a hard time being magical and witchy and everything like me and I hate that they all give you mean looks just because they are jealous that you are my awesome partner. I bet they wished they were your partner and they are just angry with you because you chose the cat Meister."" Kat said serious until she added the cat part to the end and she have a slight giggle. Obviously she was not good at seeing that she was wrong in her statement but she often did overlook the obvious things in life but what could she do, it was just who she was."

In fact, she was the first person who made him feel like he was good for something. When he first came here, he was afraid no one would want him, just like his mother. Then Kat came into his life, and for the first time ever he felt needed,...it was a wonderful feeling, one he never wanted to lose. ""You're the one everyone wants. All the guys are just mad that you chose me. I've heard stories about your mom and how she didn't mind being seen naked. They were probably hoping you were the same"""

Well, for now, anyways. He was waiting for Sakura, his partner, his weapon. He sat there, expressionless, seemingly focusing on nothing. But, he was focusing on something. He was listening to a group of males poking fun at him from afar. One, obviously the ringleader of the group, had his hand over his right eye, imitating him and laughing. The male's back was turned to Kiel, but he could still see it. But, he did not change his expression, nor did he say anything. He never did.<br/><br/>""Heh, I bet the reason he doesn't talk is because he doesn't have any friends. I wouldn't expect him to, anyways. He's a weirdo, nobody likes him!,"" the ringleading male said, laughing. The others joined in as well, dissing Kiel. Though, they stopped as soon as they saw him. Just behind their group head. Instantly, their expressions turned to one of fear, while Kiel's expression was void. ""Wait, what's wrong, dudes? You two look like you just saw a ghost."" One of the two just pointed with a shaky hand to Kiel. The ring leader turned around with a smirk on his face to look, but his smug look was instantly wiped clean off as he came face to face with Kiel. The male jumped back and fell on his behind, screaming in a feminine fashion. ""S-s-s-stay away f-from m-m-me!!,"" he said as he stood and backed up, before the three ran away. Kiel's face remained the same, and just went back to sitting in his spot, staring into nothingness, saying nothing, face void of expression, waiting for Sakura."
16144,Soul Eater: A New Generation,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18587-soul-eater-a-new-generation,['Free'],2014-03-24 03:52:00,Fuzzy-mellon-lord,"Sakura hurried to the place that Kiel would usually wait for her at, if he was waiting that is. When she got there she saw three boys running away fromm Kiel. She frowned and hurried over to him as they sat down, her face showing that she was worried. ""Sorry i'm late Kiel! They weren't talking bad about you were they?"" she questioned ""Just let me know and i'll go after them and make sure they don't do it again."" Sakura hated when people talked about him, it really made her mad. If they just got to know him like she had then they would know that he was a really nice person. That's when she remembered the reason that she was late. She held out the bag of cookies that she had made for him, there weren't that many in the bag but that was because that was all she had left of the batter. A bright smile plastered onto her face before she spoke up again. ""These are for you! If they taste a little burnt that's cause i maaaay have dozed off while this batch was in. opps"" she said with a laugh. Truly she didn't even know if he would like them, but she was trying and it was the thought that counts after all."

Yeah my mother is like that but I am too and it is hard to resist the urge but since it is school, it just has to be kept inside. You should know that about me though, you and all our friends have all seen me naked in cat form and this form."" She said with a giggle. ""I can't help it, I'm just so used to it when I am a cat that I don't really think about it that much when it comes to being in my normal form you know."" Kat added to help explain herself better. ""Oh and don't worry Ryan-chan, you and me were meant to be partners. I remember when I got her, a lot of male weapons who didn't have partners yet had me try to wield them but our soul wavelengths didn't match. Then I met you and not only did our wave lengths match perfectly but we were both were similar. Your mother was a witch and my mother a Cat Demon with strong magical abilities that made her categorized as a witch in a sense. With this being our lives we are ridiculed and looked down upon by most of the students here because in a way we are the enemies of the school but both of our different father's blood in us caused us to be a weapon and a meister who just happen to use soul protect and magic if we want."" Kat said all of that to reassure Ryan even though he knew all of that already.<br/><br/>""Speaking of cat form, I really wanna take a cat nap ~nya!"" She exclaimed happily before frowning, ""but I can't cause we have school and I already have gotten in enough trouble for falling asleep in class or skipping to shop at a store with huge sales or when I do cat stuff."" Kat then cheered up again and held up a cooler type box that was small and made out of styrofoam. ""Want any raw fish? :3"" She asked her weapon partner pulling out a fish that she had gotten this morning that was only one of many in her little box that was her lunch/ snack box.<br/><br/><center> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</center><br/><br/>""Nervous, excited. A mixture of both but I can't show them or else people will think I'm weird and that is uncool"" May said as she continued standing there observing everything and everyone around the school with her crimson eyes."

He looked over to her, no expression or speech as per usual. It would be odd if he did show emotion or spoke. He then looked at the bag he was handed, looking inside and seeing sugar cookies. He set the bag in between him and Sakura, taking two out. He then handed one to Sakura, waiting until she took it before trying the cookie. He bit into the cookie, waiting until he finished the bite he had taken before pulling out his notebook and writing in it. He simply wrote ""They taste good"" on the paper, showing her the writing. He then took another bite from the cookie he had."

Then again, neither Kat or her mom seemed to mind at all. So was it really such a bad thing? Bah, that was a thought for another time. Right now he had other things to deal with. ""Um, no thanks. I don't like to eat food raw, remember? I'd much rather cook it first. I did bring some cake though"" he said holding up the box so she could she it. It was then that he remembered something ""oh, that's right! Remember that old spellbook your mother brought back? Well I found a spell in it that makes a magical puppet. I could make one of you while you take a nap in your cat form. That is...if you want to."""

He said annoyed as he glanced to his watch once again. ""But seriously don't worry about it. Just be you"" Flint said smiling softly. Seeing his sister always cheered him up. He then looked to her clothes ""Are you trying to attract the male gaze?"" He said a little angrily as his brotherly instincts began to kick in ""What happened to pants! Everyone loves pants!"" He said grumbling to himself."

""Alright definitely gonna make."" He said as he ran across rooftops. Why was he in a rush? He needed to meet his meister. And maybe a few friends. But if she was anything like her father Red Star would need to be on time. And hope she didn't freak out about symmetry as he'd heard about her parent. Regardless though he'd made his mind up. He wanted to be the perfect weapon for his meister and make her the best in the academy. Not even just the academy. He wanted to make her the best in the world. ""Last jump. It's a far one."" He thought as he jumped from the last roof. As he 'flew' through the air he did a back flip his eyes closed to avoid damage from the wind. And soon he braced himself for a landing. He came down landing in a crouched position in front of Flint and may. He opened his eyes and glanced up. ""Hm? Oh hey."" He said with a big smile as he stood up straight. ""How's it going you two?"" Normally that keep of jump might hurt a normal person. But it was quite obvious that like his father and mother, Red Star was far from normal."

When he showed her his words, her smile seemed to brighten. For Kiel that was a good sign. She finished off her cookie, knowing that it wasn't anywhere near the quality of her mother's, and stood from the bench. ""Come on Kiel, we don't wanna be late!""<hr/>Tabi sighed as she stood outside of DWMA waiting for Aoi, That's when she noticed a group of familiar people. One who had just jumped off of a rooftop. She laughed, ""Nice show broski."" she greeted as she walked over. She decided she might as well talk to people while she was waiting for her partner."

He would take the bag with him, and would share them with Sakura later, at lunch. Kiel would gesture for Sakura to follow him as he began walking, going into the DWMA Main Building. Kiel knew his way around by now, having walked to classes every day. He stopped walking as soon as he got to the door of the classroom. The door was open, and there were others in the classroom, but he would wait for Sakura. He knew that they usually sat together, so he would wait for her so she could choose a spot. Besides, people didn't make fun of him as much when she was next to him. Sakura got flustered and angry with people who mocked and made fun of Kiel, and if he had any normal emotion, they would probably be hurt at what people said, and they would prefer Sakura and her protectiveness."

The shear volume of chocolate was overloading his taste buds...just as it was meant to. ""Mhhmm. Chocolate coma"" he moaned to himself.

She refrained from rolling her eyes. ""Show off."" She muttered as she pushed off from the wall and made her way through the crowd and over to where her weapon was standing. She nodded at the others as she approached them, keeping eye-contact with her sister minimal as she stood next to her weapon, her arms now hanging by her side. ""Took you long enough.""

He then though they might not pick up what he was throwing down so he decided to explain a bit further. ""I left my house which is currently about 20 minutes away for a normal person while running with only ten minutes left before I had to be here. Then I used the roofs and any route I could to make sure I got here on time."" He laughed and wiped away a bit of sweat. ""It all worked out in the end right? What could be more cool than that?"" He asked as he finished with a smile and glanced at May, Flint and finally his Meister Aviva. It could have been worse. At least he didn't act like his father who he look a lot like. Regardless his star pupils grazed over his friends and acquaintances hoping the blunt and annoyed attitudes would cease now. Why were they so annoyed so early anyway?

Early morning Death City, the time when all the meisters and weapons of the DWMA gathered before school hours to socialize with their friends and partners in arms. Speaking of which, there were two students walking on towards the school. A pink haired weapon with an exasperated looking Japanese meister. The latter power walking as fast as he could away from the former, who was busy seemed to be saying something in the most flat, serious sounding voice musterable.<br/><br/>""...Which is why I think that<i>you</i>secretly have some odd, ambiguous behavioral disorder and are moonlighting as a sociopathic serial killer.""<br/>""...What.""<br/><br/>Aoi Nakatsukasa, the dark haired Japanese meister in question, had just been on the recieving end of a very awkward - yet at some points disturbingly accurate - psychoanalysis by the pink haired weapon following after him. Naturally, the demure young man was flustered like nobody's business. Unfortunately he was passive than aggressive, which meant that he had to stick with his follower for now. Though a quick view of his nearby surroundings gave him a rather decent idea of how to get pinkie over there off his back...<br/><br/>""You heard me, Mr. Nakatsukasa. Socio. Path.""<br/>""Ah, that... doesn't make any sense... At all. ...Don't you have anyone else to talk too...""<br/>""Now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to a different topic. How about...""<br/><br/>On the other hand, there was Ilya, the pink haired weapon with black blood running through his veins. The young weapon had the biggest smirk on her face after having that little 'chat' with his pal Aoi over there on the way to class. To say that she enjoyed further frustrating the young man, though to say it was for just that reason wouldn't exactly be correct. While she<i>did</i>like the fact that he could unnerve Aoi, what she did was a lot like a... bonding time. A period to get to know friends a bit better. That was it. No matter if his methods were a bit... unusual. Really, it was Aoi's fault for not being used to it. Now if only she could lead Aoi somewhere other than the Academy so he could get some juicy secrets instead of being lobbed in a classroom with her meister, Mr. Flint Evans. The guy wasn't any fun to toy with at all!<br/><br/><i>'Based on their movements... It looks like Ilya's trying to get me away from the school. Which means I have to take a more roundabout route... Greeeaaat.'</i>Aoi thought dryly, making the necessary adjustments to his plan before putting it into action.<br/><center>***</center><br/>""Hey guys! Eh, sorry for the late arrival.""<br/>""You...! ...Well played, Nakatsukasa. Well played, indeed."" Ilya said, socking Aoi in the arm after having conceded defeat to the other student who was busy smiling wryly to himself over off on the other side of the group. Ilya been led around the side to their little group of friends gathered up at front. She didn't enjoy how she had been led into his so-called trap, but he respected Aoi's particular choice of tactic. Subtle, with no room for a 'counterattack'.<br/><br/>""Mornin',"" Ilya greeted in her usual monotone voice."

Flint remarked angrily ""We clearly agreed to meet at fifteen minutes to nine right here at this bench. You agreed to this and I repeated it to you a second time just to make sure and what do you do! "" Flint moved his arm back to his side ""So what is the reason for being late? It better have been important. How can I trust you as a weapon when you cant even keep simple timing!"" Flint sighed looking to the young weapon for an answer as he adjusted his watches strap to tighten it."

Kill them, kill them all!!!</i><br/><br/>What!? No, that's just silly.<br/><br/><i>Why do they need <b>her</b> hugs!? They all have families of their very own. Kat is all we have! Without her, we'd be all alone again!</i><br/><br/>Well yeah, but that's like saying a meteor crashing down on Death City would kill everyone; just because it's true, doesn't mean it's going to happen.<br/><br/>Shrugging off that bothersome voice in his head, Ryan shyly waved at the others"

It's kinda weird when you think about it.""<br/><br/>...or doing mental calculations to figure out how many people died during Ilya's lateness. Though that obviously wasn't what Flint was looking for. Thankfully, the 18-year old meister took a chop to the head. Ilya tilted her head to the side to view the watch properly.<br/><br/>""And I am here 15 minutes before 9:00. Actually, 9:00 doesn't arrive for at least 12 hours, according to your watch.""<br/><br/>Head upright, Ilya nodded, as if satisfied with the provided answer despite the illogic behind it.

Perhaps you should invest in one of those newfangled digital ones,"" Ilya continued, unfazed by the mid sentence bear hug provided by Kat."

""He looked to his watch as his whole world began to crash down. ""Wait is my watch not correct?! I wound it this morning!""

It wasn't like hugging was a problem, but due to the height difference his head always ended up in her chest. And when the hug ended he'd end up either gasping for air or with a face that match the ""red"" in his title. This time it was the latter. He scoffed. ""S-so.""

""i did a great thing today!""<hr/>Sakura followed after Kiel with a giant smile on her face, waving to people she knew as they walked and glaring at people that dared to talk about Kiel in the halls. She rambled on to Kiel about things that happened at her home the night before and how her brothers were. Normal things that she would talk about.

Knowledge is important, but I don't think we'd die if we didn't have it,"" Ilya said bluntly, completely missing the point of Red's casual statement, ""and your face. It is red. Very red, actually. I wonder if that's how you got your name... Though, I'd say it's more a scarlet shade instead of a red one.""

That's all he ever did. Listen. He never talked to anyone in return. If you were lucky, you would get either a nod or a shake of the head, indicating yes and no, respectively. In the really rare cases, with those he was ""close"" to, and to questions that was asking for another kind of answer, he would write it on paper without his expression ever straying from its usual void.

""Hey listen here assholes, I don't care if you call me a stupid cat girl but if you call my partner an evil idiot witch boy one more time, I swear that you will never want to show your face around me again."" She growled her eyes narrowing .<br/>""Sure but he is one. An evil. Idiot. Witch. Boy. So if you want to fight then let's fight bitch."" One of them said.

If 'evil idiot witch boy' is the worst thing he can think of to call me, then he's not worth either of our time. Hell, I've heard much better insults coming from Witches half his age. Besides, I think he needs the ego boost. He's trying to be a bully, and people only become bullies to make themselves feel better. Maybe his parents don't love him, maybe his partner is thinking about leaving him for someone else, or maybe he's just feeling confused about something; like his sexuality.

He was used to her. And just about everything else. But then the commotion with Kat and Ryan began. He was quick to react to that.<br/><br/>""Yeah. Don't hurt him Kat."" Red Star said having over heard the conversation. ""It'll only cause more problems for you two anyway."" He added as he placed a hand on Ryan's shoulder. Okay yeah he was shorter than the guy and much shorter than the girl, but he decided it best to be there for the girl. And luckily Ryan must have had the connection to know where she was to stop her. Red Star on the other hand had the same heightened senses his father had due to all the training so he was planning to stop her anyway. Aoi had probably felt the release too and might have come. Who knew? ""Still I've gotta disagree with you on one thing Ryan. People don't always treat other's badly for those reasons. Sometimes it's about past experiences. Built in hatred due to their own personal, or maybe even their family or clan's history. It can be brutal."" He said calmly before turning his attention to the boys.<br/><br/>He was more serious now. His face was even normal. ""Now I suggest you leave. I'm helping him calm his partner down, but I'm starting to have a bit of trouble curbing my own anger for the insults you hurled at my friends."" Red Star said his expression having gone from a calm one to a serious glare quickly. He hated when people acted like that. Of course, it didn't mean he wasn't used to it. After all... Even if his father had done some pretty amazing things there was still a great deal of hatred for the Star Clan all over the world. Besides, he was kind of protective. He wouldn't have even given a warning had it been about Aviva. Punches would have been thrown without a second thought."

Sakura visibly twitched and looked over at Kiel, trying to keep her cool. She knew Kiel wouldn't say or react to it, but she couldn't help but be mad about it. It pissed her off to hear people talking about her friend and if they said any more then she knew she would snap. She flashed Kiel a smile, ""I hope this class goes by fast, don't you?"" she questioned, knowing to only expect a movement of his head."

In the boys eyes there was a light tint of orange spreading over them before turning into a glazed look. They took of running and screaming, ""don't hurt us!!!"" they yelled. Kat hoped that her partner and friend hadn't seen the quick light of orange or heard her mutter the end of the enchantment. Kat turned around as she turned soul protect back on, her clothing changing back to what it was before. ""sorry guys... I just let the anger come over me.

Feeling a surge of courage, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a big hug ""it's okay Kat.

He was a bit disappointed that Ryan kind of forgot he was there and that the two as a whole didn't think someone with his senses wouldn't have heard. ""I'm gonna head back to the others. Try not to let what the ignorant say get to you."" He said calmly. He didn't tell them he wouldn't say anything about the spell, but he didn't feel he had to. Of course, he wouldn't rat out his friends. Still he wasn't sure they would trust him given what they tended to go through as witches. But it wasn't like he cared.<br/><br/>""Hey guys! Let's get to class before thing's get crazy."" He laughed a bit. ""Oh... Aviva... You're hair..."" He said calmly examining her closely. ""One side is just a bit longer than the other.""

Aoi looked over to Red and Aviva. ""I suppose,"" he answered, ""I guess it<i>is</i>entertaining that Red's got the 'orderly' meister."" The middle Star child shrugged casually.<hr/>""I'm fine.

He had been wearing it upwards so far, and it was getting a little hot. In doing so, he had revealed the wraps around his face to the entire classroom, to people who hadn't seen it before and were not expecting it, as well as others who used it as joke material, a punchline that would feel like a punch to any normal person.

She took the phrase 'stick up your rear' to a new level. ""Emphasis on 'order' "" Tabi said, rolling her eyes. ""So what's it like having two siblings that aren't sticks in the mud?"" Tabi questioned, ""you can't blame me for being curious.""<hr/>Hearing the girl's words was the final straw for the teen, she slammed her hand down on the desk and stood, ignoring Kiel's message. She wasted no time climbing up the desks to stand on the desks in front of the group. ""How dare you! Kiel may not look 'commonly' beautiful to you people but at least he isn't a shallow pathetic little wimp that doesn't even have the back bone to say things to people's faces. You cowards don't even deserve to be in the same room as him! And unlike you losers, he doesn't need to rely on a relationship to make himself feel better."" She snapped, her hands were balled into fists as she glared down at them. ""If I hear any of you, talk bad about him ever again. The wrath of the Star Clan will make sure you regret it."" Her voice was more of a harsh whisper. That's when she turned on her heel and went back to her seat, a smile back on her face. ""Sorry about that Kiel."""

Kiel simply listened to it, not saying anything. If anyone expected him to say anything at this point, they'd walk away disappointed. Though, when Sakura sat back down, Kiel took his notebook and wrote another message. ""Thank you, but you didn't have to do that,"" he wrote. He then reached into the bag and handed Sakura a cookie. Kiel did this to make her calm, so she didn't have another outburst. Kiel then heard one of the people behind him scoff. ""Like you said, pity. She's probably only being nice to him for good marks in Stein's class, as well as Mrs. Marie's. Still, don't see how anyone would be his friend otherwise, except for that reason."" Kiel already knew that Sakura would react to it, He took hold of her hand subtly, but tightly, attempting to prevent her from raging out again. Kiel then heard a new voice. ""Yo, guys, you should, like, watch out. Because Kiel is Professor Stein's son and, like, he's wicked tough, so, umm, don't say anything else bad. Like, you know how Stein likes to do, like, experiments and dissections and stuff? Well, like, unless you want to end up like a mutated frog-person, I'd recommend against, like, saying anything else bad."" At this, Kiel let Sakura's hand go, seeing as that one guy had handled it, it seemed. No point in her getting any more angered."

""Of course i had to. You're my friend and i stand up for my friends."" She hated that people were so mean just because he was a little different. When she went to take a bite out of the cookie she heard them talking again, making her harshly bite the cookie in half. The only reason she didn't say anything was because Kiel had grabbed her hand, she was a bit surprised by it and the surprise was enough to keep her from snapping and attacking the group. It wasn't a usual thing for Kiel to make contact with her unless she was in her weapon forms. Sakura let out a sigh and flashed a half smile. ""Don't worry Kiel, i won't kill them.....yet."" She added a smirk at the end of her sentence just for fun. ""They just really need to stop being so....stupid."""

She sighed, the day had barely begun and already she was getting a headache. Why did she be around them again..? Oh right, her weapon did and since she kind of needs him in battle and he's always around these people she didn't have much of a choice. She sighed and closed her eyes, letting the voices flow around her. It wasn't until her weapons comment about her hair registered in her brain did she snap her eyes open, eyes wide. Her hands instantly flew up to her hair, trying to feel around and see if Red Star's claim was true. However, she would need a mirror for that and then maybe some scissors to even it out- No! She took a few deeps breaths to calm herself and forced the compulsion to the back of her mind, intent on ignoring it. ""Alright and?"" She said calmly, trying to look like it didn't bother her. ""We should head to class before we are late."" She said to change the subject from her unsymmetrical hair."

She had to get past this obsession at some point. ""Yeah... Let's go."" He said as he turned and began to walk from her. Internally he was begging for her not to freak out and hoped nobody would fuel the fire that was her insane symmetrical melt down, as he thought of it most times.

How lovely~"" she teased coyly. she looooved getting on Aviva's nerves. It was mostly because she knew her sister had to get over this stupid obsession, and also because she thought it was hilarious.

It was true, after all. Trying to reign them all in and keep them all calm and proper-like was basically impossible without the threat of not getting to eat any of Aoi's wonderful culinary artistry. Practically a testament to the fact that Aoi was just<i>that</i>good at putting together food. If he could say anything about being sickly and stuck inside for long periods of time, it's that it gave a great amount of free time to hone any particular skills. Too bad they weren't the skills Aoi wanted, though they did have their aforementioned uses. Finally realizing that Tabi left during his internal monologue, the meister shrugged and decided to head off to the classroom.

Aoi was one of the lucky individuals with the ability in question and was currently going through his usual motions of keeping the ability active in order to keep himself sharp. Out of all the kids in his class, Aoi was probably the one who best knew the usefulness of keeping everything in perfect working condition. Preliminary tests of the ability complete, Aoi decided to exert his ability further...<br/><br/>Peering into someone specific's Soul an advanced application of Soul Perception. By focusing on an individual soul, a skilled Soul Perception practitioner can make accurate assumptions about the person's characteristics and Soul Wavelength. Par for course. However, what Aoi saw unnerved him.<br/><br/>A Soul with traits too similar to himself for comfort. But less... Adapted to society? Was that the vibe he was getting? Aoi's movements sped up, his morbid curiosity was plaguing him. Once within the classroom, he looked up and began analyzing Souls within the vicinity.<i>'There. Beside Sa-,'</i>he cut his thoughts off and shook his head. Wasn't a good idea to be staring at his sister's partner. He could question him after classes. Or hopefully the teacher would assign them some group work that didn't end up having to be with their respective partners.<br/><br/>Though he did end up taking the seat directly beside Kiel. Just to be safe.<hr/>Ilya was forcibly pulled up by her meister like a limp noodle. There wasn't really any resistance, it<i>was</i>his idea to go to class. Besides, if she didn't have to use up valuable energy pulling himself off the ground, then so be it.

He reached back to tighten the wraps around his eye a little more, since they felt a little loose. It wouldn't be good for anyone if his cloth-gauze wrappings fell off or were removed. He didn't think there were many people accustomed to seeing scarred flesh that was as bad as that across his face. So, he chose to keep it on, because eye patches wouldn't cover up the large area of scarred and damaged tissue. Kiel then noticed a feminine-looking male walk in and look around, mostly to him. Kiel then watched expressionlessly as the male sat right next to him, opposite of Sakura. He looked familiar to Kiel...Aoi...He then remembered it was Sakura's brother, the older of her two brothers, along with Haru. Kiel glanced over to Aoi, having to turn his head since Aoi was on the side of him with his covered eye.

She stared at her sibling for a moment before her eyes unwillingly glanced down at her sisters choice of clothing and she felt her eyes twitch again.

Still, he couldn't help, but feel like the two sisters would get along better if they just accepted each other for who they were. But again who was he to butt in? But then he thought about what might happen if Aviva got anymore obsessed with Symmetry. Would she toss him aside for the first perfectly symmetrical weapon she found? No... Aviva wouldn't do that. Why she? ""Hey... Aviva?"" Red Star was going to ask, but... He stopped himself. That wouldn't be good. ""We should hurry. The bells about to ring."" He said picking up speed and passing her a bit.

We don't want to bruise his ego at all."" her tone of voice showed that she was obviously joking about this. It was a joke but she was worried about her brother getting hurt. Sure he was a great fighter, but still. ""Seriously though, be careful when you two do spar. I'm not kissing any wounds if either of you get hurt."""

Red Star said with a small laugh before holding his hand out to Kiel. ""It would probably be easier to plan things if you talked, but I can respect your silence and won't try to question you on it."" He then said holding out his hand. ""So how about after school today before dinner?"" He asked calmly. It was a yes or no so it wouldn't require speaking or writing. It was perfect right? They could spar, work up and appetite and then go eat. It was a plan. Maybe Aviva would wanna come too. Maybe. If Haru was lucky."
16215,Soul Eater: A New Generation,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18587-soul-eater-a-new-generation,['Free'],2014-04-05 03:23:00,Jivusa,"Kiel would nod at Haru's request for sparring, reaching out as well and shaking his hand, assuming that was what he wanted. Kiel, after pulling away, would write something on the notebook. He wrote, ""Kissing a wound would most likely make it worse, since a kiss contains bacteria and germs inside of the saliva and breath of a person."" Whenever Kiel wrote something, he always did so literally. He was not one for figurative speech, er, communication. He left that to poems and songs. Kiel showed the writing to Sakura before writing something else. ""So, I meet your parents, then spar with Haru, then eat with your family, right?,"" he wrote on the paper, showing it to Sakura and Haru both this time."

He didn't have the heart to tell his partner that he wanted to mind his own business and not get all caught up in an internal dispute of a family, so that was the best he could do. He looked disinterestedly at the front of the room, cringing a bit when Haru called him fragile, but not really reacting to much. However, when Haru brought up the topic of dinner...<br/><br/>""I'm cooking!"" Aoi declared proudly, and with good reason too. He was the Star Clan's undisputed Kitchen<i>God</i>. His foot was hiked up to the desk, using it as a footstool to lean against his knee as he stood. One could practically see his pride swelling forth... But then he 180'd back to his usual demure self with one statement: ""...but I do it basically every night."" He sat in his seat and resumed staring at the front.<hr/>""WELL FLINT,"" Ilya began loudly and cheerfully, which... Didn't bode well for the eldest Evans child. The mischievous expression he wore didn't help either. ""I did quite a lot! Would you like me to regale you with my tales of glory and sacrifice?"" she asked, rhetorically. Even if Flint said know, he'd still do it anyway. Besides, it wasn't even that much, just embellishment, really.<br/><br/>""Well I spent Friday watching some snazzy movies on Netflix, on Saturday I made a sand-castle, trained a bit, pirated some DVDs, and, of course, worked part time at ChupaCabra's!"" Okay... One of those definitely wasn't like the others. Hopefully by 'working at ChupaCabra's', Ilya meant 'bartending' rather than 'being a cabaret lady'. Ilya definitely had the body for it... Food for thought.<br/><br/>""On Sunday I just dicked around, watched anime, et cetera."""

Ilya asked him if he wanted to know about the 'glory and sacrifice' ""Not really...."" Flint trailed off as his partner began to spit out a bunch of uninteresting nonsense. something about Netflix, Pirates and cabaret girls. By the end of the story Flint felt he had lost a few IQ levels. He lay his head on desk as he waited for class to begin."

'Cat's like this, right? Then that means that Kat should like this too' he said to himself as he began to pet her. Looking around, he saw that no one was looking at them. Calling upon his memories of Kat's human form, five strands of magic came out of his free hand and flew over to Kat's seat, and in a puff of smoke, a clone of Kat was formed. ""Now you're f-f-free to relax Kat"" he told his meister, still blushing. ""D-d-don't worry, I'll make s-sure to take good enough notes for you""<br/>

Once she had entered the classroom her eyes twitched upon seeing her weapon standing on a desk in front of another Meister. She exhaled and marched over to him, tugging on the back of his shirt. ""You are not a heathen. Off. The desk."" She growled, brows furrowed in a frown."

Haru said with a slightly nervous chuckle as he hopped off the desk landing beside her. ""Oh and i think that should be fine. ""Mom and Dad will probably think that's best. Then we can use the yard as we please for the sparring."" He answered Kiel since his sister hadn't yet. ""Oh and i wouldn't recommend that you dress to impress. They aren't fancy. Simple. Especially father."" Haru said to Kiel. It was also because his clothes might get messed up during the sparring session. ""Oh Aviva. Would you like to come to come to dinner at my home too?"" He asked her with a small smile."

Here I thought she just hid her ears because she was self conscious about them, I had no idea she simply didn't like having them touched. I thought cats loved having their ears rubbed. That was stupid of me to mess up; Kat isn't shy, if she really wanted her ears rubbed, I doubt she would have any trouble asking me, she knows they don't bother me.'

She didn't like people saying things like that to her siblings. ""Hey Viva. I'd appreciate it if you didn't boss my brother around, even if you are his meister."" She heard Aviva's sister Tabitha start laughing from where she sat next to Aoi. Sakura though was keeping polite, well as polite as she could. She just really didn't like it when people were rude to her brother and she felt like Aviva was over stepping her place.<hr/>Hearing Sakura pretty much tell off her older sister made Tabi laugh, to her it was hilarious. But when she heard that Aoi was going to be cooking she looked over at her partner hopefully. ""Could i come? Dinner at your house has got to be more fun than dinner at my house! Plus i wanna taste Aoi's cooking."" she declared brightly.

The more the merrier and all that<i>jazz</i>...!"" Resting his chin on his desk space before releasing a subdued sigh. He really didn't know why he kept hanging around these people, partner discounted. They were all much more rowdy and outgoing than himself, which wasn't exactly<i>bad</i>per se, just very, very frustrating for someone like him. He glanced at Kiel, who was likely the only person who could relate, before looking back to the front.<hr/>""Fliiiiiiiint~ Did'ja hear that? We were invited to a hoooouse paaaartay!""

He appreciated the care he just felt it might be best to handle his meister himself. Of course, being his older sister and being that she was so caring and protective she wouldn't back down. He knew that, but he had to try. ""Anyway... Um... We should probably take our seats Aviva."" He said to her quickly."

It grows to be 6 ft long of just a cylinder that turns out to be a grip/hilt of a scythe. Then black blood flows out of May and turns into the blade of a scythe that is pure black and sharp. Radiating off pure madness from the blade.<br/>
</div>
</div><br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><br/>Normal- May has long hair that matches the silver of her father's hair. She also shares the same pale skin, shark teeth, and crimson red eyes. May seems to be her father in every way except her body type. Just like her mother May is on the shorter side only standing at 5'0"" tall and weighing 95lbs. She is a skinny girl but isn't completely flat chested like her mother was. Although she is still more petite than the average female at the academy. Sometimes her red eyes will glow slightly when she is affected by madness living deep inside her.(explained in history)<br/>Shadow Sword- As a weapon May is a deep black katana that gives off a very eerie aura. The katana is 2 and 1/2 feet in length and her shadow rests upon it giving it a slight blurred look. Sometimes red can be seen towards the tip of the sword signifying her madness level, the madder she gets the more dangerous her and her meister's attacks can get but she is good at keeping her madness under control.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/>May has been told by many doctors that she has a multi-personality disorder. In a way she does but she also doesn't. One personality is her normal one and her other one is her mad personality.<br/>Normal- May is a girl who is often seen as a reckless girl who enjoys food, mainly sweets, and tends to take off of her father she is seen as kind and caring and will do anything in her power to protect her meister no matter what happens to her. But this also leads to her rebellious side where she doesn't always listen to people, for example she doesn't always listen to her meister. Although she isn't seen as your typical girl and is more tomboyish she does enjoy things like romance movies, romance novels, and all the lovey dovey stuff but that is her secret.<br/>Madness- When her madness is affecting her she is not only quite crazy but also quite silly, as her movements and behavior change drastically, and she resembles a state of inebriation. Her drastic behavior is clearly indicated by her swaying, and constant giggling, which further proves that the Black Blood(again explained in history) has a tendency to make users unlike themselves. May's eyes will also glow red and she is easily angered if you fight her on her own. When she is angered her movements will stop being strange but she will continue to giggle while she attacks you with part of her own weapon-self.<br/><br/><b>History:</b><br/>May was born and raised normally until one day she was at her elementary school and had been attacked by a weak half human half witch who had it out for her parents. As May had lost too much blood they needed someone in her family to donate blood to her and seeing as Soul was the only one with her blood type it had to be the one to donate it. What the doctors didn't know when they gave May some of Soul's blood was that he had some Black Blood in his blood stream that had now been moved into her body. The Black Blood didn't ever affect her to the extreme of hardening her blood but it just drove her mad at times randomly until she was old enough and finally learned how to keep it from taking over. May eventually learned by herself of the strength her madness gave to her weapon form so she knew she had a way to be stronger if needed but she kept that to herself along with her Black Blood secret, the only people who knew were her parents and brother and they always helped her through the madness if they could. She had still not decided whether she would tell her meister or not but she didn't care for now. What helps her the most though is singing, just like her father's side of the family she took to music very well and enjoyed playing piano or singing or both. Also she loved eating souls just like her father. She really was her father's daughter haha.<br/><br/><b>Theme Song:</b><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/feVmEWyAauM?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/><b>Other:</b>-N/A-"

She hides behind an exterior of ice and frostiness and she is very independent. She has a bit of temper when provoked and she holds grudges for a very long time. She is very blunt and will not hesitate to say what's on her mind. But deep down inside she is caring and nice though most people do not see this side of her. She can loose confidence in herself very quickly but she covers this up with sharp words and looks to hide her vulnerability.<br/><br/>Being the elder sibling, Aviva felt that all of the responsibilities fell on her shoulders. She did everything in her power to be the best she could and make her parents happy. Her and her sister used to be close but when Tabitha started acting out Aviva felt a rift form between them. She was slightly disgusted by the fact that her sister did everything she could to be asymmetrical and went to great lengths to try and make her sister change her ways. Of course this made the rift grow even wider and now Aviva hardly speaks to her sister and when she does, its with a distant tone. Aviva was content when she became a Meister, not having to worry about being an asymmetrical weapon. Now her only hope is that her own weapon has symmetry...<br/><br/>(looking for theme song)<br/><br/>Much like her father, Aviva has a obsession with symmetry though not as severe as Kid. She prefers things to be symmetrical but it doesn't bother her as much as it would her father if things were not similar; though she still gets rather irritated. <br/>(I would rather you choose: then there will not be any arguments or fights over characters)</center>"

</div><br/>Full name: Haru ""Red Star"" Nakatsukasa<br/>Age: 15<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Spot: Black Star and Tsubaki's youngest son<br/>Classification: Weapon<br/>Soul Resonance: I think it would be the Demon Sword and Shadow Star, but um... Thinking...<br/>Appearance:<br/>Haru - Unlike Black Star whose pupils gained their star appearance as a result of his clan's bloodline, Haru's pupils are always naturally in the shape of a star. However, when influenced by the madness the pupils grow considerably larger taking up more of his eye than just the usual inside of the blue pupil. He is kind of short standing at around 4'8"" yet still maintains a fairly muscular build due to the constant training he goes through. Although his appearance is much like his father's his hair is not as spiky and the star mark on his shoulder seems to be outlined in a dark shade of red.<br/>Weapon - Multiple Weapon Transformation: Haru can change into the multiple Weapon forms of his mother Tsubaki, some of which may not be listed. He can do this freely and quickly, something which would most likely be advantageous to his meister should they switch fighting styles. Haru can even change the weight of his weapon forms, making it easier for his Meister to wield them. With this in mind there are other weapon forms he holds which may not be listed in the images.<br/>Personality: Haru bares a large resemblance to his father, with a few differences, but personality wise the two are very different. Haru likes to speak his mind in certain cases, but he is not a loud mouth. He's more intelligent though still quite naive and fairly innocent when it comes to certain aspects of life. Like girls for example, or love. Overall he's kind hearted with a good sense of justice and high level of loyalty towards his meister. Still he isn't the quiet type. He tends to be a bit stubborn when he wants to do something. He usually doesn't follow orders from anyone but his family or his meister. And even than if it's a clash between family and meister he might choose his meister only because that is his partner and he must always have their back like they should have his. He can get defensive over the ones he cares about. Like really defensive. Might be a bit overboard actually. Rather than make himself the best his personality is more motivated towards making his Meister the best. In this sense he doesn't strive to reach his full potential. And with Black Star's combat abilities and strength partnered with Tsubaki's abilities and a somewhat higher intelligence, his potential is pretty high.<br/>History: Haru is the youngest child of Black Star and Tsubaki. You know the usual three child dynamic right? The oldest gets to do just about everything first. The middle is kind of just there and the youngest is the baby. Well... This is Black Star's family so FORGET THAT CRAP! Like he had done on the birth days of his other two children Black Star proclaimed that Haru would one day do amazing things. He smiled brightly and held up the infant with glee as he shouted about his happiness for his third child. Around the time Haru was 6 he found out that he could turn into a weapon. But not just a single weapon. Multiple weapons. The same ability at his mother. When he showed Black Star and Tsubaki they were excited. He could train with both of them like he'd been asking. Especially since he'd need to know how to control his weapon abilities and of course the child of the great Black Star would need to be able to properly defend himself in hand to hand combat. And so he was able to begin training with the rest of his family at the young age of six. He was happy. It was fun. He always excelled at the training. And even did well in his studies. Not amazing or anything, but a bit above average. Just a bit though. He was more gifted physically. Still it was kind of good that he wasn't as dumb as his father when he was young. Still for a few years or so things went smoothly for the young weapon. He was even able to learn Soul Menace. Sure he hasn't mastered it but he is only 15 after all. Over the years before coming to DWMA he experienced a few great memories as well as some horribly traumatic memories. Still he is pretty much always himself.<br/>Theme Song:<br/>(Why change something that fits so well?)<br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/e6CDOG5TjNw?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLLM56v-ww"">Or ya know this</a><br/>Other: I think you should just pick.<br/>*coughcough*nahjustleteveryonefightovermemwuahahaha*coughcough*"

</div><br/><b>Full Name:</b>Aoi ""Blue Star"" Nakatsukasa<br/><b>Age:</b>17<br/><b>Gender:</b>Male<br/><b>Spot:</b>Black*Star and Tsubaki's Middle Child<br/><b>Classification:</b>Meister<br/><b>Appearance:</b>It's quite evident Aoi takes more after his mom than his dad, what with having relatively tame medium-length dark hair rather than some mess of blue, as well as being decently tall at 5'8"" rather than short. He's also not quite as built, being more in the realm of slender and lithe. In fact, the only physical trait he has that remotely resembles his father is his green eyes, but even then Aoi's are a few shades lighter.<br/><b>Personality:</b>Aoi is an young man with a low self confidence and constant self-doubt brought about by an inferiority complex regarding his femininity, lackluster physical attributes, and percieved incapability as a meister. However, over the years Aoi's gotten<i>very</i>good at bottling up his insecurities and projecting an image of wholesome happiness. Incidentally though, it may be the very insecurities plaguing him that drive him forth, that give him the necessary motivation and inner strength to try to improve himself so he can come closer to reaching his ideals. Internal personal issues and facade of well-being aside, Aoi is naturally inclined to introversion. He's meek and soft-spoken, though he does have his moments of open stubbornness and exasperation, usually characterized by increasingly passive aggressive behavior and a flatter expression, as well as polite and always eager to please. He's usually rather calm and rational, using his observations and intellect to maximize his paltry physicalities. Along with his demureness, or perhaps in spite of it, Aoi strives to embrace the beauty in all things good or bad and has a love for theatrics. As such, he values things that have an ugly side beside the good, things that could easily be a person's downfall as they could be one's salvation. Naturally because of that, he can easily thrive under pressure and, despite knowing the stupidity of it all, tends to go after situations that create the desired scenario. Due to his impression that he isn't 'Star Clan material', he absolutely hates it when he's referred to as 'Blue Star'.<br/><b>History:</b>Aoi spent most of his childhood unable to train like his siblings due to an illness he caught when he was a baby. Because of that, he mostly spent his days helping his mother out around the house; cooking, cleaning, doing whatever he could to make himself useful. In his spare time, he would read books, train on his own until he got tired, and then go figure out ways to entertain himself while his siblings were out training to become great meisters or weapons. Unfortunately, by the time he recovered it was basically too late for him to receive the same level of training, despite the amount of work he put into it anyway, leaving him with mediocre strength, passable endurance, and average speed. Fortunately, he earned an extraordinary talent for housework and basically surpassed god (of home cooking) for his troubles... Okay, it's a pretty shitty consolation prize, but he'd also spent a<i>lot</i>of the time he had devising tactics that maximize his strengths. Furthermore, it was revealed that he possesses both Soul Menace<i>and</i>Soul Perception, two rather coveted abilities for meisters. Even though he takes after his mother, if there's one thing he's inherited from his father, it's the soul. Over the years, he's managed to improve a little bit, though he's still hopelessly average physically.<br/><b>Theme Song:</b>Looking~<br/><b>Other:</b>I say just go for the one that makes the most interesting character pairs.<hr/>EDIT: Incidentally, Demon and I having Red and Blue Star, respectively as well as the same naming convention was completely coincidental."

Incidentally though, it may be the very insecurities plaguing him that drive him forth, that give him the necessary motivation and inner strength to try to improve himself so he can come closer to reaching his ideals. Internal personal issues and facade of well-being aside, Aoi is naturally inclined to introversion. He's meek and soft-spoken, though he does have his moments of open stubbornness and exasperation, usually characterized by increasingly passive aggressive behavior and a flatter expression, as well as polite and always eager to please. He's usually rather calm and rational, using his observations and intellect to maximize his paltry physicalities. Along with his demureness, or perhaps in spite of it, Aoi strives to embrace the beauty in all things good or bad and has a love for theatrics. As such, he values things that have an ugly side beside the good, things that could easily be a person's downfall as they could be one's salvation. Naturally because of that, he can easily thrive under pressure and, despite knowing the stupidity of it all, tends to go after situations that create the desired scenario. Due to his impression that he isn't 'Star Clan material', he absolutely hates it when he's referred to as 'Blue Star'. Aoi spent most of his childhood unable to train like his siblings due to an illness he caught when he was a baby. Because of that, he mostly spent his days helping his mother out around the house; cooking, cleaning, doing whatever he could to make himself useful. In his spare time, he would read books, train on his own until he got tired, and then go figure out ways to entertain himself while his siblings were out training to become great meisters or weapons. Unfortunately, by the time he recovered it was basically too late for him to receive the same level of training, despite the amount of work he put into it anyway, leaving him with mediocre strength, passable endurance, and average speed. Fortunately, he earned an extraordinary talent for housework and basically surpassed god (of home cooking) for his troubles... Okay, it's a pretty shitty consolation prize, but he'd also spent a of the time he had devising tactics that maximize his strengths. Furthermore, it was revealed that he possesses both Soul Menace Soul Perception, two rather coveted abilities for meisters. Even though he takes after his mother, if there's one thing he's inherited from his father, it's the soul. Over the years, he's managed to improve a little bit, though he's still hopelessly average physically. Looking~ I say just go for the one that makes the most interesting character pairs.EDIT: Incidentally, Demon and I having Red and Blue Star, respectively as well as the same naming convention was completely coincidental.<br/>

</div><br/>Full name: Tabitha Nyx Sullivan (Goes by Tabby)<br/>Age: 17<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Spot: Daughter of Blair<br/>Classification: Meister/ Cat Demon<br/>Appearance: Tabby has medium length blonde wavy hair reaching down to about the middle of her abdomen(underneath her boobs :P). She has a very curvy build just like her mother and is often seen flaunting it again just like her mother. Tabby stands at 5'4"" and weighs 115lbs.<br/>Personality: Tabby is a very kind girl who helps the best she can if anyone is in need. But just like her mother Tabby likes to have fun. She is seen as a bubbly, outgoing, very flirty girl. She doesn't care if others see her naked because well just like her mother, she can turn into a cat and whenever she is a cat she is naked so she is just used to it which is why her clothes are all very revealing. Tabby can get very mean and cold if you piss her off, it is easy for her to hold grudges since she has nine lives. She can be especially mean if you remind her of the fact that she doesn't have a father anymore.<br/>History: Tabby was born the daughter of Blair and a man named Blake Sullivan. Blake Sullivan was one of the meisters who helped create a death scythe. Unfortunately, he was killed by a witch holding a grudge on DWMA. Tabby wasn't even born at the time so she never got to know him. Blair had disappeared after his death, not telling anyone where she was going or that she was pregnant with Tabby. Tabby was raised not knowing anything about her mother's past until Blair had taught her magic and learned that not only was Tabby just like her but she was also a meister. So they returned to Death City when Tabby was 10 and she became friends with everyone. While also shocking all of the friends Blair had. But everyone soon learned that the next generation also had to deal with a Blair of their own.<br/>Theme Song:<iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/i9XpLuUwFcU?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/>Other:-N/A-"

One day, she noticed that she had never so much as heard of a male with a drop of Witch blood in him...so she decided to see if she could change that. She captured a man by the name of Johnny Nimbus and used him to impregnate herself. While she was with child, she cast all sorts of spells on the fetus to make sure it became male. Sure enough, 9 months latter, she gave birth to a baby boy. However, after a few years, she began to lose interest in her son. Young Ryan was forced to feed himself, as his mother only tolerated him in her home. When he was 9, he had finally had enough; he had been harassed by countless other Witches without his mother lifting so much as a finger to stop them...so he left, and arrived at Death City<br/>Theme Song:<iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/4bXVPjqrSAM?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/>Other:<br/><br/>You can take the Meister position I have.

</div>
</div><br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><br/>Normal- May has long hair that matches the silver of her father's hair. She also shares the same pale skin, shark teeth, and crimson red eyes. May seems to be her father in every way except her body type. Just like her mother May is on the shorter side only standing at 5'0"" tall and weighing 95lbs. She is a skinny girl but isn't completely flat chested like her mother was. Although she is still more petite than the average female at the academy. Sometimes her red eyes will glow slightly when she is affected by madness living deep inside her.(explained in history)<br/>Shadow Sword- As a weapon May is a deep black katana that gives off a very eerie aura. The katana is 2 and 1/2 feet in length and her shadow rests upon it giving it a slight blurred look. Sometimes red can be seen towards the tip of the sword signifying her madness level, the madder she gets the more dangerous her and her meister's attacks can get but she is good at keeping her madness under control.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/>May has been told by many doctors that she has a multi-personality disorder. In a way she does but she also doesn't. One personality is her normal one and her other one is her mad personality.<br/>Normal- May is a girl who is often seen as a reckless girl who enjoys food, mainly sweets, and tends to take off of her father she is seen as kind and caring and will do anything in her power to protect her meister no matter what happens to her. But this also leads to her rebellious side where she doesn't always listen to people, for example she doesn't always listen to her meister. Although she isn't seen as your typical girl and is more tomboyish she does enjoy things like romance movies, romance novels, and all the lovey dovey stuff but that is her secret.<br/>Madness- When her madness is affecting her she is not only quite crazy but also quite silly, as her movements and behavior change drastically, and she resembles a state of inebriation. Her drastic behavior is clearly indicated by her swaying, and constant giggling, which further proves that the Black Blood(again explained in history) has a tendency to make users unlike themselves. May's eyes will also glow red and she is easily angered if you fight her on her own. When she is angered her movements will stop being strange but she will continue to giggle while she attacks you with part of her own weapon-self.<br/><br/><b>History:</b><br/>May was born and raised normally until one day she was at her elementary school and had been attacked by a weak half human half witch who had it out for her parents. As May had lost too much blood they needed someone in her family to donate blood to her and seeing as Soul was the only one with her blood type it had to be the one to donate it. What the doctors didn't know when they gave May some of Soul's blood was that he had some Black Blood in his blood stream that had now been moved into her body. The Black Blood didn't ever affect her to the extreme of hardening her blood but it just drove her mad at times randomly until she was old enough and finally learned how to keep it from taking over. May eventually learned by herself of the strength her madness gave to her weapon form so she knew she had a way to be stronger if needed but she kept that to herself along with her Black Blood secret, the only people who knew were her parents and brother and they always helped her through the madness if they could. She had still not decided whether she would tell her meister or not but she didn't care for now. What helps her the most though is singing, just like her father's side of the family she took to music very well and enjoyed playing piano or singing or both. Also she loved eating souls just like her father. She really was her father's daughter haha.<br/><br/><b>Theme Song:</b><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/feVmEWyAauM?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/><b>Other:</b>-N/A-<br/>[/hider]<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/>Full name: Tabitha Nyx Sullivan (Goes by Tabby)<br/>Age: 17<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Spot: Daughter of Blair<br/>Classification: Meister/ Cat Demon<br/>Appearance: Tabby has medium length blonde wavy hair reaching down to about the middle of her abdomen(underneath her boobs :P). She has a very curvy build just like her mother and is often seen flaunting it again just like her mother. Tabby stands at 5'4"" and weighs 115lbs.<br/>Personality: Tabby is a very kind girl who helps the best she can if anyone is in need. But just like her mother Tabby likes to have fun. She is seen as a bubbly, outgoing, very flirty girl. She doesn't care if others see her naked because well just like her mother, she can turn into a cat and whenever she is a cat she is naked so she is just used to it which is why her clothes are all very revealing. Tabby can get very mean and cold if you piss her off, it is easy for her to hold grudges since she has nine lives. She can be especially mean if you remind her of the fact that she doesn't have a father anymore.<br/>History: Tabby was born the daughter of Blair and a man named Blake Sullivan. Blake Sullivan was one of the meisters who helped create a death scythe. Unfortunately, he was killed by a witch holding a grudge on DWMA. Tabby wasn't even born at the time so she never got to know him. Blair had disappeared after his death, not telling anyone where she was going or that she was pregnant with Tabby. Tabby was raised not knowing anything about her mother's past until Blair had taught her magic and learned that not only was Tabby just like her but she was also a meister. So they returned to Death City when Tabby was 10 and she became friends with everyone. While also shocking all of the friends Blair had. But everyone soon learned that the next generation also had to deal with a Blair of their own.<br/>Theme Song:<iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/i9XpLuUwFcU?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/>Other:-N/A-<br/>[/hider]<br/>[/hider]<hr/>EDIT:I hate hiders sometimes..."

He does this due to a tragic childhood accident, and people would be better off not seeing the scars.<br/><b>Personality:</b>Kiel is a quiet boy. Very quiet. He does not speak at all. Whatever he cannot say through body gestures, he will write down on something. This is why he always carries a small notebook with him. He does not usually smile, nor frown, nor show fear, but there is an air of sadness about him.<br/><b>History:</b>At first, Kiel was a happy child, right after he was born. His mother and father, Marie Mjolnir and Franken Stein, respectively, were teachers at the DWMA, also named Shibusen. So, naturally, he had aspirations of going and hunting Kishin. Knowing this, his parents stared teaching him early and training his soul and its wavelength. Eventually, Kiel was able to use his soul wavelength extensively, like both of his parents could. Along with that, he had a few friends around Death City. He was always happy and smiling, helping his friends with problems whenever he could. Though, he was not happy forever.<br/>When Kiel was 12, he was allowed a chance to watch and help out with one of his father's many scientific experiments. It was an experiment with energy, electricity. The experiment was to combine soul wavelength and electricity and see what happened. Due to research by Franken, it should have been stable enough to contain. Though, this was incorrect. Upon electrical fusion, it overcharged the energy inside of the container and exploded, making burning shrapnel that flew everywhere. Unfortunately, Kiel was not far enough from the explosion and, before he could turn his face completely, was assaulted with the burning shrapnel, setting his flesh aflame.<br/>The accident had burned the right side of his face, as well as left scars where it wasn't burnt. His skin wasn't burned off, so there was no surgery to replace the flesh. In addition, he was blinded in his right eye, having been rendered useless from nerve damage. Even after a long time in intensive care, and more time with treatment, the pain was unbearably excruciating. So much that the formerly optimistic and happy child became reclusive and upset, seemingly crying nonstop. Though, he could only cry with one eye, so he was being reminded of it whilst crying, along with the reminder of the extreme pain. Kiel cried until it was impossible for him to cry anymore. He stopped talking, showing emotion, and stayed alone whenever he could. He hasn't talked or shown emotion to anyone for about four years.<br/><b>Theme Song: </b><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/LHNx-PCg3Rw?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/>""Insomnia (Crying Moon)"" - Dalibor Krigovsky<hr/>Hope this suffices ^^<br/><br/>EDIT:<br/>I'm indifferent either way with it, honestly.

They're both broken individuals; one's just had more time to deal with it and figure out how to be normal. Though, Aoi would probably be pretty awkward - imagine if you met someone so unlike you, yet you know that you could've ended up being this person pretty easily. Plus his sister's the guy's weapon, so there's that.<br/><br/>On Ilya's end... I have<i>no</i>idea how that would end up. They're basically the exact opposite of each other.

He had fallen asleep outside for the third time in this week, probably due to his (and just about every other teen's) desire to be fully animalistic. Had he known it would rain this morning, though, he would've prepared a bit better; perhaps he should've blocked the door to his room last night after all. He normally found no harm in his late night wanderings, but he hated rain. Sure, it kept things alive, and he loved the way the sky looked dark when it was stormy, but all rain produced for him was mud and rainbows. He couldn't even fully enjoy these phenomonea; he could see more color than most wolves, but it wasn't enough to complete the full array of colors known to other species.<br/>For now, he got up, brushed the mud from his sleeping clothes, and ran his fingers along his ears. He hated water getting into them, as it was not an easy task getting it out. Luckily, his inner ears were relatively dry, and when he checked his tail, only a few spots of mud speckled the furry appendage. He would have to be quick getting inside, as the rain would only get worse. Keeping his ears flat, he ran inside, his paws sinking in the mud a little with each step. Wiping them on a welcoming back door mat, he stepped inside his house and began his daily routine."

After a quick shower, she changed into her normal attire, putting on a sleeveless shirt and some shorts. She didn't bother with her shoes; Aimee only had one pair for formal occasions, and she hated to use them. No one gave her a hard time about it. Her breakfast was quick, consisting of some waffles and oatmeal. Her mother was out again. She had promised to be home by midnight, but she was still out, doubtlessly hanging around with yet another one of her boyfriends.

He lived just outside the city, close enough to get to school within the hour, but far enough to be able to escape the commotion and night-sky-drowning light that had left many without a clear view of the night sky. How any one was able to live their life without seeing even Orion baffled him. The stars were sometimes his only escape; that being said he took classes focused mainly on astronomy. Physics, Calculus, and just plain Astronomy were among said courses. Dwelling on it, Jay realized that he'd been so busy with other things he forgot to do his Physics homework. Cursing himself, he paused for a minute to check his bag for anything else he may have forgotten, coming up with nothing. He sighed before continuing his run, making better time than usual. He was going to make it a good day, no matter what.<br/>After a short while he arrived at a small building, not much bigger than a grocery store. PS 104 was definetly not the most physically appealing school, but it served as a fantastic learning enviornment, without the distraction of those unwilling to learn that plagued many high schools. As it was, PS 104 was a place where people such as that were not welcome at all- only those with an open mind were allowed behind the doors of the main hall.<br/>A bus had just arrived. Some people stepped off, of which there were few. One wolf, Aimee, had known him since they were younger. Their families were friends, and as such the two youngsters often engaged in such games as ""Catch the Tail"" or ""I Spy"". He motioned for her to join him in his usual spot, someone's stoop. The stoop sat across from the bus stop, and was about a block from the school."

While she wasn't really in love with him yet, she had what might be called a little crush. At least, she liked how he looked. And smelled. That last one was very important for wolves. Walking over to him, she greeted Jay with a little hug.<br/><br/>""Jay! So good to see you!"" she nuzzled him a bit, but stopped short of licking his snout."

An A student normally, recently he has been plagued by something unknown to others. His grades have been slipping, as well as his social life. He is shorter, about 5' 3"", with grayish hair, common for his species. His ears are normally perked in some kind of surprise, but with his recent distracted state, they have to started to droop towards his head. He likes to wear darker stuff, giving him a reputation for being ""emo,"" which is completely incorrect. He just doesn't know what else to wear. His tail is almost all gray, with the exception of the lighter tip of the extremity. He is friendly, unless you upset him. Normally, he doesn't care about the affairs of others, coming off at times a bit selfish. He will do anything to help a friend.<br/><br/>Man, I hope I did this right.<br/>-SM"

She has decent grades and is in the schools dancing club. She usually dresses in a sleeveless shirt and shorts, without footwear. Given that her species has padded feet, the latter is unnecessary. Her clothes are usually violet or light blue. She tends to be self-indulgent, but she means well, most of the time at least. Apart from dancing, she wants to be a masseuse when she grows up, much like her mother. The one thing that angers her the most is that she was born out of wedlock. She doesn't know her father, and neither does her mother, given that she was born to one of her mother's many short-lived affairs."

It is about chow time and the soldiers are all taking a break from their extensive training field exercises to enjoy a hot 'meal'. A young project was amongst those ranks. Redesigned after an older model he agreed to never name himself over the false pride going through his mind. The serum changes the genetics slightly in him due to the older model type. From a dark sea blue to a dull grey. HIs model is #153, an aviation unit capable of piloting any aircraft of vehicle with the most expertise on hand. With an added function he was given (And although thought over many times before it happened) added the infantry Project's ability of regeneration, Project #154's ability was to master any weapon available, along with hand to hand combat, his flaw was his ability to resist the serum over time due to his regeneration status, always rejecting the mind control. ""The start of the resistance."" The first CEO quoted.<br/><br/>154's struggle against a tyrant proved to end in failure. His dying works through a radio stated ""Fend for... yourself... and you will free yourself..."" he said as a soldier puts a final bullet in his head.<br/><br/>The boy remembers the broadcast clearly from a few weeks ago, displaying on why the rebels think their fighting a cause and may win. One stood against many. The boy looked at himself and sighed blinking his dull grey eyes down at his oven baked chicken and rice. with an eye twitching some of his friends who are soldiers comes over.<br/><br/>""Sup red?"" One of them asks, Private Carlson was his name, fairly built for an 18 year old, slimmed down, blond high and tight, green eyes. The average look for a rifleman.<br/><br/>""Hello Privet Carlson."" The boy says still looking at his food.<br/><br/>""Cut the crap man, the serum stuff can't be that bad for you? Right?"" Carlson says.<br/><br/>The boy nodded and looked up at the young rifleman. is eyes greyer and duller then usual, but still noticeable from the whites around it.<br/><br/>""Damn red...""<br/><br/>""Why do you call me red?"" He asks out of curiosity.<br/><br/>""Well your sixteen, don't know your name, your pale so it be rude to call you little white kid, but your hair is dark red and it matches you perfect... I wouldn't call you a ginger for the fact that you look like a killer."" He says explaining.<br/><br/>""I see, the CEO will be eating here today, supposable to give morale to the elite unit.""<br/><br/>""Other projects seem to eating here too... the loyalists group is growing.""<br/><br/>Red nodded and looked around at all his technique brothers and sisters. ""Like a family.""<br/><br/>Below on the unnamed resistance planet the rebellion is currently under fire by a squad of soldiers lead by a fire-team leader Elite. He is conducting buddy rushing to cancel out the rebels gorilla warfare to get closer to their targets. The fight takes place in a dense forest full of green trees and shallow water. Vines and branches seem to be the biggest obstacles to be in the way for both sides. The leader of the rebellion is currently in the firefight as well. His name is Captain Killday. He stands at a fair height of 5'9"" and has long black hair symbolizing his carless but brutal way of battle. His motive is to drive away the System in hopes to have a safe place for refugees from other planets come and live peacefully. To the system this is a sign of terrorism and must be destroyed at once. Gorilla warfare is working its magic, shoot, run,, ambush, shoot again. An endless cycle of that will overwhelm any human soldier. The Elite is the only one who can see passed this maneuver and try to point out their points of stikes. One by one soldiers die by the hands of the rebels and even the Elite takes a shot.<br/><br/>""Keep up the fire! WE GOT THIS!"" Killday yells motivating his troops as they continue their efforts to kill, or capture."""

The sound of war came from all directions, making it impossible for him to tell who might be coming. It didn't particularly matter, either. At this point, both sides were likely to see him as an enemy and kill him on sight. Reaching down into the fire he had been tending, Cinder let it coil about his arm like a pet snake, leaving only ashes on the ground. He felt the heat of the fire, but knew it would not burn him, and he had long ago burned away the sleeve that would go over his right arm.<br/><br/>When three soldiers appeared, in standard issue System body armor, they stopped at the sight of the flames. Their mistake.<br/><br/>""I'm never going back. Not alive."" A flick of Cinder's wrist sent the flames out to consume one man before any of the three opened fire. The man screamed as he cooked inside the armor, and the other two started shooting in controlled bursts. As he dropped and rolled away, Cinder exerted his will on the burning husk he had created, spreading the flame to the legs of the other men. They screamed too, and Cinder grinned. It was satisfying to get just a little more revenge on those who had created him, and he stood watching the flames for a few minutes.<br/><br/>Before they could die out, he strode over to scoop them back onto his arm. Walking away from the direction the soldiers had come, Cinder unknowingly headed towards the leader of the resistance."

They were in a stylish room with a marble floor but where walls or a ceiling were supposed to be, they seemed to be eating on the terrace of a French like Chateau, around them a vineyard stretching to a forest in the distance, the sky being of a perfect and infinite blue, like Earth used to be. They even felt the wind and the warmth of the sun. This was not real, all the walls in fact monitors displaying an image, the heat and wind were other trickery of technology. On the table, champagne, confit de canard, lobster and white beluga sturgeon caviar shared place with other items, the rarity of such making people doubt the species even existed anymore. Cloning was a marvel it seemed, even in culinary science. The Elites however did not eat for the moment, merely sipping their champagne in the wait of the principal interested and owner of all they saw before them. Veronika Cornikova Tolstoy, daughter of Cornik Orvchenko Tolstoy and great great great grand daughter of Ivan Petrenchko Tolstoy which was at one point the richest human on the planet and leader of the colonization of space. Tolstoy was indeed a respected name.<br/><br/>""Introducing Veronika Cornikova Tolstoy, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Tolstoy group!""<br/><br/>The elites quickly pushed their chairs back and got up in respect as a woman entered the 'room' by opening a door leading to the illusion of a french mansion behind them, followed by 4 secretaries behind her. There was of course a lot of rumor about the... physical and mental instability of the White Mantis, but she looked... good. Human, platinum blond at the point of being white hairs, white shirt under an expensive trouser suit. She seemed young, in her 20s maybe, but there was something off about this. It seemed too perfect in many ways, like it was Photoshopped, there was absolutely no imperfection to be found. Le Marne got up and pulled Veronika's chair for her, pushing it in as she was sitting. There was no look of thanks or appreciation. It wasn't a favor from a gentleman to a lady, it was expected and if Le Marne hadn't done it, someone else would have.<br/><br/>""Right. Sit down gentlemen. I thank you for being here today.""<br/><br/>Well, not like anyone had a choice, when a CEO summons you, you bet your ass you answer to the summon, especially if it was the dreaded White Mantis. The Elites began to sit down and all looked at Veronika. It wasn't Le Marne's first time at this but he couldn't help, being at the immediate right seat of her, to feel at unease. The CEO took a sip of whatever the hell the white goo in her glass was and it seemed visibly to relax her. Veronika took the salt bowl and added a pinch, then another and another. A surprising habit, didn't all that remove the taste and the point of having such exquisite food? Le Marne looked in front of him to see another elite smile. He rolled his eye, the god damn sperm joke. Tolstoy took a bite and the others around the table saw this as their cue to begin eating. It was silent at first but after a few short minutes, Veronika spoke.<br/><br/>""Gentlemen... Elites. Under our feet on a small planet that I frankly already forgot the name of, one of your co-worker, Elite Stevenson, is currently battling rebels. As I suspected, this woodland is diseased with this scum and as the gardener of society, I must now tend to this weed. You will remove it, burn it and salt the earth as no weed ever grow back once you are done. I put my confidence in you to achieve this. You have manpower, superior training and equipment and a dragoon unit on stand-by. Upon success you will all receive a sizable bonus pay check and upon failure... Well, I have no need to put in place diciplinary measure as after all, you will have failed should you die and the rebellion not be put down. This of course mean that I expect you to do your job as it is written in your work contract that I pay you to fight and possibly die on duty. Failure to win or die will be considered a breach of contract and thus, you may refer to the termination of contract articles in them.""<br/><br/>Terminate your contract and we terminate you, basically. Although Veronika was right, the power they had was overwhelming, defeat was nearly unthinkable.<br/><br/>""As this blight spreads to other planets and the rebellion grows, so must our security forces. There will be a significant number of openings at all level of the hierarchy and thus, I will promote those that perform best in this operation. I will myself land my personal craft planet side and observe your work, of all of you.""<br/><br/>Le Marne frowned, she'd be landing?<br/><br/>""Erm, madam, if I may interject... You will be landing?""<br/><br/>She turned toward him, almost instantly making him regret to speak up. Rule number 1 to respect when working for the White Mantis: Don't attract attention on yourself.<br/><br/>""Yes I will, is that a problem?""<br/><br/>""Well, sir, rebel activity on this planet is significant and while I have no doubt we can crush this scum, I cannot guarantee your safety if you are so close to the--""<br/><br/>He immediately regretted using these words.<br/><br/>""Cannot guarantee my safety?! Then, you...""<br/><br/>She struggled to remember the name of Le Marne. This always amazed him, he had been her chief of operations for 1 and a half year but struggled to remember his name. Then again, she always referred to her secretaries as 'Secretaries', even those who had been working for her for more than a decade.<br/><br/>""...Then why do I pay you? IT'S YOUR DAMN JOB! If this man cannot guarantee my security, is there no one here competent enough to do his job properly?!""<br/><br/>There was a silence around the table before at the other edge of the table one elite stood up.<br/><br/>""I can, milady.""<br/><br/>The table was pretty much set up based on experience and service time. This guy, Cubric his name was, had been an elite for what, 2 months?<br/><br/>""FINALLY! This, this gentlemen!""<br/><br/>It was Veronika's turn to get up and point with enthusiasm at Cubric. The boy must have been 22 year old.<br/><br/>""This is what we fight for! The right of opportunity without the restriction of a 'State'! An organism stealing from the hardworking to feed parasites! In our system, our beloved corporatism, you and I are free to seize opportunity and be rewarded from our efforts, skills and intelligence! I have thrown an opportunity and someone at this table had the balls to seize it! You, my good man, will lead this operation! And all of you see him as a man to be emulated!""<br/><br/>""My lady, Elite Cubric is a good soldier, but he was promoted 2 months ago, he doesn't have the experience to handle such an operation and--""<br/><br/>""He sits at this table! He as the title ELITE for Christ sake! If he wasn't able to command he wouldn't have this title now would he? Or are you saying that you promote incompetents to such a role?!""<br/><br/>""No ma'am, but--""<br/><br/>""BUT NOTHING! What are you, 40? 50? Toiled all your life to get where you are now?""<br/><br/>She waved her finger at Cubric.<br/><br/>""Like I said, a man to be emulated, believe my experience as a CEO, only the weak willed who achieve nothing wait for life to give them what they want and this man... He had the guts to say that he could do your job despite being an Elite for only 2 months. And you know what? I'll allow him to show me if he can. He who risks nothing, gains nothing. I like to have officers that are willing to stick their neck out and that don't cower in front of the task before them. We need to be bold! Carpe Diem for the love of god, seize the day! This is the motto of this great corporation and it should be yours too!""<br/><br/>Veronika leaned back from the table before taking the napkin, swiping it across her lips and throwing it on her meal, which she had hardly taken more than 3 bites. ""I am full and I have other matters to attend to. You drop in 2 hours, be ready.""<br/><br/>__________________<br/><br/>On the corridor leading to the cafeteria, Le Marne walked up to Cubric. knowing what his senior would say, the young man sighed.<br/><br/>""Look, I know what you're going to say Le Marne but you threw me this opportunity and there's no way I'm passing this chance. I could retire before I'm 40, 30 even if I get this promotion. No hard feeling.""<br/><br/>Le Marne shook his head and raised a hand to interrupt him.<br/><br/>""Look kid. You're going to regret this, and I'm talking about even if you actually win the war down there. Life in security is a mine field both in combat and outside of it, you need to be slower to be sure you don't detonate something that will kill you.""<br/><br/>""Yeah, so? That's exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing now. Think I can to keep being on the front line for what, 10 or 20 more years? Fuck this shit, I'll go through the damn ranks and get out of this business quicker than a street urchin with a stolen wallet. This discussion is over. Get your gear and go to your men soldier, I'm in charge now, not you, old man.""<br/><br/>________________________<br/><br/>""Alright men...""<br/><br/>There was talking in the cafeteria, all going around the theme of 'Why's the new kid on the stage' and 'Where's Le Marne?'.<br/><br/>""Hey, HEY! I'm talking maggots! Right. So minor changes in the plan. I'm in charge and OH SHUT UP! And yeah. We'll keep to the established plan in all other aspects except Le Marne will take team one to replace team 6 and 7 to bring up the rear. Team 7 will be on reserve while team 6 and I will handle security of CEO Veronika Tolstoy.... That's right people, the boss lady is watching and I have great news for you. After this, the boss is planing to add a new barrack back on HQ, whole lot of new guys will enter and that also means a whole lot of officer and elite spots to fill in. I've been an elite for 2 months and working corporate security for 3 years and now, I'm in charge of an entire planetary operation. And you know what? I just come back from eating a meal with one of the most powerful person in the universe. There was caviar, and god damn fancy roasted duck and lobster and champagne and mead, all with super fancy french name like Hydromel and Canard Confit. Have you guys seen white beluga sturgeon caviar? This shit costs 500k the ounce and I got to EAT it!""<br/><br/>There was silence in the room and Cubric raised his arm, pointing at the assembly.<br/><br/>""This, people, this is in reach of you. You don't have to wait for 20 god damn years before having a more or less decent job and even there, you'd still have some jackass the age you have now ordering you around, no, you could be this jackass ordering people around from a corner office, or at least get a suit of power armor as fancy as mine. All you have to do is remember your training and put every ounce of yourself into this. I won't lie, there are risks to take, but remember that if you want, if you're willing to take these risks, the reward will be fucking sweet."""

In a clearing not far from the commotion, what appeared to be a seven foot tall man, sat perched on a log unmoving. Up close, this ""man"" was actually a scrap metal mech, brandishing a heavy machine gun, a flare launcher and all sorts of bits and pieces of the like. It whirred and hummed, the extrinsic winky face plastered on the head, but on the inside holographic panels displayed information at blurring speeds to make room for the next line of intel. Murmurs of commands and whispers of enemy transmissions bombarded the speakers of the mech's innards. The feint light of the monitors illuminated the doe-like mossy green eyes that flew in all directions, absorbing all the information being brought into the goliath's body. Sue sat as motionless as her patchwork mech, only the jittery movement of her eyes were an indicator that she was a living being, rather than some doll... within another doll.<br/>Sue had effortlessly hacked into the network mainframe of the System's raid group, relaying all information back to the home base of the Resistance. Sue was careful not to trigger any alarm that would get her killed, or worse. Captured. The petit girls body shuddered at the thought.<br/>A static buzz overpowered all other sounds in the tiny cockpit, it was Control hailing in on Sue and<i>Chamberlain</i>. ""<i>Chamberlain</i>do you copy?"" a familiar voice of a fellow rebel came through the speakers. ""Yes Control, intel should be finished downloading soon."" Sue replied, Her mousy voice was a strange combination to her assertive soldierlike tone. ""That's great and all kiddo, but we got an issue."" Sue never liked issues, they were... well, issues. ""How so?"" Her voice was heavy with angst, ""Well, some scouting drones picked up visual of three heavily burned bodies. Just from the feed, even I can tell that it would be impossible to identify them!"" Sue's jaw clenched, ""Did you run a head count? They may not be ours.""<br/>""Our forces are centralized just a tad east from the site, but it's not unbelievable that they may have strayed away from the main party.""<br/>""I see."" Sue had a sour feeling in her stomach, not knowing what kind of threat this could be made her more and more antsy, ""It couldn't have been a flame thrower or some sort of napalm?""<br/>"" 'fraid not, the fire seemed to only have affected the bodies, no signs of damage elsewhere. But aside from that, once you finish the download, we need you to come back to base. We need you to fix up a few new vehicles and then ease them back into the fray.""<br/>""Roger that control."" Sue sighed heavily. Her eyelids fluttered for a moment before the mech sprung to life on the outside,<i>Chamberlain</i>stood at its full height and began a steady jog westward. This new information was something she wish she hadn't heard; it meant that there was most likely that their mystery fire starter was an unfriendly, and a Project at that. Sue's uneasiness triggered<i>Chamberlain</i>to burst into a full speed sprint.<br/>""Not even running works anymore."""

He states realizing he's not human and most likely a project, but this model seemed different, even after the idol they all hope to be one day, he seemed to have that same look project 154 had.

Any more and the flames could die, or flare up and become easily noticed. Twice more he crossed paths with small System groups, obviously scouts trying to pin down the resistance. Twice more he left nothing but burnt corpses. They would only want to kill him, or inject the foul Serum into him.<i>I'm never going back to that place. I will die first.</i>This thought was one of few he clung to, one of few that remained to him.<br/><br/>It was not long after the last System group that Cinder's walk came to an end. He stepped into a clearing, arm wreathed in fire, to find himself behind several men and a couple women. They wore no uniforms nor lab coats, and Cinder strangely felt no hostility towards them. Once he was noticed, several guns were leveled in his direction, and one of the men started talking into a communicator of some kind. Cinder did not react to the guns or the words, still trying to fit these people into his view of the world. A full minute past before he realized that this must be the resistance.<i>How long has it been since my worldview narrow so far as to forget even that...?</i>"

It was heavy with fear of the worst, chaos was in all directions and the Resistance was smack dab in the center. The tiny space was filled with static from all sorts of transmissions that it almost hurt Sue's ears. The System's forces somehow pulled a devastating new heavy artillery weapon out their ass, the revered commander Killday was in deep shit as usual and something about a landing party. Sue was lost and confused, her turmoil caused<i>Chamberlain</i>to slow down back to its steady jog. She was frustrated, why couldn't things go smoothly for once? It was always something or another messing up the success of the Resistance to liberate and claim ANYTHING from the clutches of the System! So deep in thought, Sue barely caught the transmission about some random guy on fire flanking one of the parties; this caught her attention. ""The Project! It has to be!"" She hissed, she listened more attentively to the report, the entity showed no hostility to Resistance personnel ""Odd, I will admit,"" Sue pressed a button with her good arm and spoke up, ""Control, can you put me on with the party leader that came into contact with the unidentified unit?""<br/>""Cant! We're diverting energy to get communications back up with the parties further up!""<br/>Sue grunted, throwing her head back into the pilot's seat. Why must tech refuse to work if she's not round? ""Fine then!<i>Chamberlain</i>to Control! I'm going topside to reestablish communications and lend a hand.""<br/>""Negative! We still need you here back at base to get these transporters back up!""<br/>""Bite me Marlowe! Why didn't you have engineers trying to fix them while you guys waited for me to get there, you lazy pieces of shit!? I need to go where I'm needed!"" Sue spat, a very audible grumble came through the speakers, ""We can't seem to get a clear response from Bravo and Charlie squad about the weird guy showing up, but you owe me for not snitchin' you out about this!"" replied the rebel. Sue smirked a bit and turned<i>Chamberlain</i>around and set the mech back into a running state, at this pace not only would she get to the frontmost party quicker, she would also run into the mystery man, or Project as she was convinced.<br/>It wasn't long until she came across a decently sized group pointing their guns to a seemingly unarmed man.<br/>""STAND DOWN.""<i>Chamberlain</i>'s booming robotic voice echoed its tiny pilot, ""IDENTIFY YOURSELF!"""

Laughter and talking surrounded the Project who sat watching the others, smiling as one of the others, a large man they called Maul, retold the story of one of the various operations that he had been sent on. “So I was sitting there, rebel in one hand, tree limb in the other, his buddies moving in from all sides, bloodrage slowly draining and then I hear it. It was the sound of this rock-brain uncloaking, that little sadistic smile plastered all over his face.” He motioned to Rho, chuckling “Turns out he had sat there in the tree and watched the whole-”<br/><br/>Maul was cut short as the commander walked into the room and everyone was hushed up. Rho looked up expecting the usual face of Le Marne, instead he saw Cubric . Rho’s face fell impassive<i> “A new commander, right before a mass drop?”</i>he wondered to himself as Cubric began his speech , he had seen various commanders come and go, but none so close to a large scale attack. Shrugging off the thought, Rho used the speech to work his way towards the exit to beat most of the others to the armory. Soon enough he was out of the room and was making his way down the hall, passing a few of the station's personnel that were frantically getting everything ready for the incoming Projects. After walking a fair way Rho came to a large open room, its stark white, almost medical, appearance belying the name plate that read ""Armory 252"" on the wall. Walking the same route as always, he quickly ended up next to his locker, one of many that lined the side of the room. Opening it he divested himself of his normal fatigues, in favor of the tougher under armor that was always put on before his combat suit. After this was done and his meager clothing was stored and the locker locked, Rho turned to the opposite side of the room where the ""Arming Stations"" sat. Each station was a ring of machinery that would put on and secure the armor when activated.<br/><br/>Rho was almost to his designated Station when a voice rang out ""And where do you think your going so soon?""<br/><br/>The voice belonged to a young doctor, Dr.Mercer or something like that, she was walking toward Rho clipboard in one hand, an auto-injector in the other. ""You know I cant let you waltz out of here without you injection."" She held out the injector ""So are you going to do it or will you make me.""<br/><br/>Rho almost laughed at this, the fact that she was a good foot, or more, shorter than his augmented height of around 7' would have made reaching his injection points incredibly difficult for her. Smiling he reached out and took the injector. Taking it he put it next to one of the arteries in his neck, and pressed the button at the other end of the injector. After the needle left his skin, it was apparent something was different, his smile had melted into a cold mask, his empathy draining out of him.<br/><br/>""Thank you Subject Rho."" Mercer said, her tone business like ""You may proceed with your procedure""<br/><br/>Snapping a quick salute Rho resumed his donning. Stepping into the center of the Station he activated the machinery, which unfolded into various mechanical arms that began to secure the MKII Chitin around Rho. The entire process took less than five minutes, the whole while Rho remained silent, that was until Mercer spoke to him once more ""What dose that mean?"" She asked pointing to some words that were carved into the back of one of the arms.<br/><br/>Rho turned to look before replying ""<i>Terra tremuit et quievit</i>, Latin. It means, The earth trembled and was still. The opening to an old chant from earth, Gregorian or Byzantine if memory serves."" He replied after studying the words, his words cold and official.<br/><br/>""Hmm, And you find these chant enjoyable"" Mercer asked, flipping through pages on the clipboard<br/><br/>Rho nodded ""Aye, ma'am. I find them relaxing.""<br/><br/>""Interesting"" She said as she wrote down some notes ""Rho, you are free to go, collect your gear, you once more going to be part of a hunter team for this drop.""<br/><br/>Saluting Rho went over to his weapon rack, lifting Maelstrom he spun it a few times before collapsing it and stowing it, he also retrieved his several throwing/combat knives, and pistols. Satisfied everything is in order he left the armory to wait for the signal to begin final drop preparations."

It was an interesting plateau, but it was wasting time. The System would not be that far behind him. They couldn't stay here forever, not in the current situation. With this in mind, Cinder made to move past the resistance members. One of the two that he attempted to slip between shoved him harshly, pressing the barrel of his gun to Cinder's chest. Anger flared up, and the flames flared with it. The world narrowed to him and the other man, and he pulled his hand back, preparing to introduce the fool to the taste of ashes.<br/><br/>The sound of heavy steps and machinery distracted him enough to stay his hand and turn his head. It wasn't long before a large robot appeared, seemingly cobbled together with scraps. A voice boomed out, but the words meant little to him, but the tone was that of an inquiry. He felt that it was fairly obvious what he was, but Cinder lowered his hand and turned to face the robot completely to give it a better look at the flames wreathing his arm and slight glow in his eyes. This robot was clearly more important than any of the others, who had lowered their weapons.<br/><br/>""Won't go back. Can't go back. Never going back,"" was what left Cinder's mouth as his mind worked slowly to untangle the situation."

Sue motioned<i>Chamberlain</i>slowly towards the man, eyeing the flames slithering around his person. ""LET'S NOT GET HASTEY HERE-""<i>Chamberlain</i>'s stomach plate hissed open with a heavy thunk as it settled to the mech's side, revealing its tiny passenger within, ""None of us have time for trouble.""<br/>Sue took a better look at the pyro from her nest, she could barely tell him from the flames that danced around his slender figure. He looked young, a noticeable feature of all projects, ""You may have noticed we're in a war zone, and you don't appear to be a System lackey. So unless you wanna end up as bullet swiss cheese you better start talkin'.""<br/>Sue looked up to her fellow rebels, ""Charlie and Bravo squad, go on ahead and return to the main party, I'll take care of this guy."" The other rebels nodded in compliance, not wanting to lose any more precious time. Sue dropped<i>Chamberlin</i>into a kneeling position so she would be level with her guest, ""You escaped, just like me didn't you?""<br/>Sue leaned forward, using her good arm to stabilize herself from falling out of her mech, ""Just who are you?"""

These were ships and not asteroid as they corrected course on their approach. A missile flew out of the forest and hit one of the crafts that went crashing down. As they drew closer they flew overhead the battlefield,<a href=""http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/331/9/0/divinity_leviathan_____ophanim___by_lionel23-d4hjgie.jpg"">one of the ships</a>was much larger and visibly much more luxurious than the others.<br/><br/>""Wait, what the hell is this ship doing here?""<br/><br/>The voice of Killday came to the rebel's communication with a small laugh.<br/><br/>""Looks like the CEO came... with backup. This operation is scrubbed guys, if I know the security forces as well as I remember she'll force an encirclement, her goal isn't to beat us but to kill us all, if we survive this battle she knows we'll just start again. This means that we can either flee now... or use her stupidity to deal some real damage. I won't lie, its going to be hard to pull off but I say we counter attack while they think they've got the upper hand and go toward the CEO's craft and kill the CEO and the leaders to then flee in the confusion. I can't force you to do this, but-""<br/><br/>He was interrupted by a rebel.<br/><br/>""Screw it, were dead anyways and we've known that the day we joined you. It's do or die and I intend to do as much as I can!""<br/><br/>Other encouragements came. They were now outnumbered and out gunned by more trained and experienced enemies, but yet morale was high.<br/><br/>""Chamberlain... Sue.""<br/><br/>It was the voice of Killday.<br/><br/>""Listen. That ship, it's the personal ship of Veronika Tolstoy, god damn White Mantis. She's going to be a tough nut to crack and quite frankly I don't know if we can beat her and much less if we could get out after that. I know you're one to fight but I need you, if anything go wrong, if it seems like we're loosing... to bailout from the fight and find a way to go to Petersport. Go there and find the 'Black Sheeps' and tell them I sent you and that I died. Projects are our greatest assets and even to kill Tolstoy it's not a price I'm willing to pay. This is a direct order and maybe the last I'll give you so don't. Disapoint. Killday Over and Out. God luck out there.""<br/><br/>____________<br/><br/>""Landing Craft 2 got shot down by a guided missile, half of the crew is dead and they had to make an emergency landing 3 miles from here.""<br/><br/>Cubric grind his teeth before answering.<br/><br/>""Tell the pilot to try and repair while the soldiers move in to join the fight if it isn't over by then, the rest of the teams will patch the hole, team 7 will go in as well, only team 6 will stay with the VIP as protection and reserve. Tell Stevenson to begin deploy in halfmoon to begin the envelopment. Le Marne and Team one will flank in Embolon Flying Wedge to break the rebels once the encirclement as been confirmed.""<br/><br/>In his inside the 'Spring Palace', Tolstoy's private flagship, Cubric observed the holographic display and gave quick sidelooks to Veronika who was also looking at it. He noticed that the enemy had stopped falling back and squinted his eyes. What were they planing?<br/><br/>(OOC: I'll let Rho decide if he's in the assaulting troops, the craft that was downed or in team 6 as reserve)"

Cinder echoed, studying the features of a little girl who sat in the torso of the robot. He knew someone had to be controlling the hulk of metal, but did not expect this in the slightest. The other rebels had scattered at her command, meaning that she had some authority despite her apparent age. Considering this, the girl's intelligence, and her missing limbs, Cinder concluded that it was another project staring him down.<br/><br/>""Who am I?"" he continued, frowning at the question. He had not been sure for quite some time. He had been born with a name, but it was not what the System had labelled him. The System no longer held him, but since memory of his birth name eluded him, his designation as a project would have to do. ""Project Cinder... I was called Cinder,"" he muttered, seeming to speak to himself more than the girl. ""They called me Cinder, never expecting such a brilliant flame.""<br/><br/>Bringing his attention back around to the girl in the robot, he cocked his head slightly to one side. He felt he recognized her, on some level, more than simply having the same tormentor. There were very many projects, and a relative few escaped successfully. If she was working with the resistance, she must have been one of the even fewer who made it out and survived."
17369,The System,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18611-the-system,['Casual'],2014-03-21 21:20:00,Elevator Music,"""Cinder,"" Sue repeated, mimicking the man's quizzical expression, ""It suits you well!"" Smiling softly, Sue relaxed back into her seat.<br/>""I thought you were some new toy those sickos popped out! Guess you're alright.""<br/>Sue stood<i>Chamberlain</i>back to its usual daunting height, her mood brightening. With another project possibly inducted into the ranks of the Resistance, maybe there was a chance to fight against the System. ""You got color back in your eyes, so I can assume you haven't had your dope fix in a while."" Sue leaned out a bit, looking over Cinder for the millionth time,"" The resistance needs all the manpower it can get, and since you're out of a job with the System... Maybe I can interest you in a job."" Sue was never the smoothest of talkers, but she was somehow good at winning over hearts.<br/><br/>""Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so rude and straight forward, m-my name is Sue..."" Sue stammered out without thinking, but then realizing how silly she was. This guy wouldn't care about manners at a time like this would he? Doubtful, but it was only kindness or fear that won people over with the occasional money of course. The System governed with fear and oppression, where the Resistance strove to be everything but that; so that maybe one day the universe wouldn't be such a rotten place. Sue coughed bringing her attention back ""A-anyways I'm serious about joining the resistance, I mean, it's not like you have anywhere to go."" Sue was unsure where her mind went in the last few minutes, why was she so scattered?<br/>""I don't mean that in anyway, I just mean that the Resistance would be happy to accept you into our ranks!"" Sue tried to think of more things to say, ""Oh! I know who you'll like! Our commander is a great guy, and he'd be better to talk to rather than me."" Sue began to turn<i>Chamberlain</i>to walk towards the battle, ""Commander Killday is a great man,"" Sue's expression softened, ""He found me when I first escaped. Kinda raised me, ya know? He taught me all kinds of stuff, maybe he can help you too..."" Sue loved Killday like a father, more or less that's what he was to her.<br/>Before Sue could say anymore, a broadcast from the Resistance's main channel came through. It was Killday and the other frontline rebels, Sue was silent as the transmission played out; it was everything she didn't want to hear. When Killday finished, a loud cheers could be heard from behind him, even from Control there were shouts of encouragement and cheering and the fair mixture of ""Down with the System!"" and ""For the Rebellion!"".<br/>For Sue, this was hardly a reason to be patriotic. Anger boiled inside her ""Damn you Killday, you have no right to do something like that. To hell with that noble self sacrifice bullshit, and the whole ""if I die"" crap. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!"" Sue screamed, her rising passions caused<i>Chamberlain</i>to echo her.<br/>""There is no way he's getting away with this!"" Sue slammed her fist against the controls, ""Hey Cinder, I'm sorry for cutting things short but this is a personal affair,"" Sue tossed out a small chip from he perch, letting it land at Cinder's feet, ""You can take that holo map, it'll lead you to the safehouse. Or you can follow me or what ever. I'm going to go smack the commander for being a hero. C'ya."" Sue flashed a gentle smile at Cinder before sending<i>Chamberlain</i>into a full speed sprint.<br/>""Control! If you heard the Commander right, then you best prep for a full evac! If we're gonna haf'ta, jump this planet any time soon then we best be ready NOW.""<br/>The mech's chest plate hissed as it returned to concealing the tiny girl, it's footfalls thundered with each heavy stride, and it wasn't long before Sue came across the rear of the frontline party. The ground was charred and stamped with footprints of all sizes, the roars of gunshots was louder than ever before. Above, the sky was blocked out by the few ships that had yet to land, and not far below were the ones that had. They were like mountains from Sue's view, and that meant they were packing. As the mech flew through the ranks of the back row, Sue could make out the sleek design of the CEO's personal craft. She caught herself getting ideas to mess with it with her cyber powers, but dismissed the thought; something that big and that important would have security with a grip tighter than an alligator's bite. Once in the frontmost ranks, the mech came to an abrupt halt, ""If they brought this much firepower just for little guys like us, then we really must be a thorn in their side,"" Sue frowned, it wouldn't be the first time they would have to turn tail."

As he was contemplating following her, it seemed a communication came through, taking all of her attention. Her anger at the situation was palpable to him and his flames burned brighter. Her hatred for the System seemed as powerful as his, which was only fitting, for they had treated her the same as he if not worse.<br/><br/>Picking up the small chip with his left hand, he stared at it curiously as the little girl ran off to save her friend. He considered following her, but decided against it. One against few he was confident in himself and his flame, but with bullets flying everywhere and projects on both sides, it was highly more likely he would get hurt or killed or captured.<br/><br/>During his moment of indecision, Cinder was wide open to attack. Someone in the distance followed up on the opportunity. A bullet slammed into Cinder's right shoulder, and he went down. His rage built, but when he expected the flames to flare up in reaction, there was nothing. Abruptly, Cinder was cold. Several minutes of panic came and went before he noticed the chip where he had dropped it, and several more passed before he reached out to it.<br/><br/>When he touched it, Cinder somehow activated the device. A map hung in the hair in front of him, and Cinder flinched back when it suddenly came to exist. Snatching up the chip, he pushed himself up, whirling around to make sure he was alone again. Checking the map again, he started limping."

As his lander was one of the first ones down, he was ahead of most of the vanguard. Rho stopped on a high canopy branch, enjoying the silence, it was part of the reason he preferred landing first as a hunter. Yet even the sounds of the battle reached his position, though this was from the crackling garble of the rebel scout's radios below him. He has been tracking them for around five minutes back to wherever they were setting up the front line defenses, but now he could see the various static defenses through the foliage, they were about forty, fifty meters out.<i>""Perfect.""</i>Rho though coldly as he silently swung to a lower branch, releasing and extending Maelstrom.<br/><br/>""Agh, damn swamp rats."" one of the rebels asked as he shook out his boot ""I thought you said they put us in bunks, not send us out on recon job""<br/><br/>""Hey, that was before they started landing en masse."" one of his comrades, responded quickly ""Besides you'd still have to deal with the rats getting into your shoes.""<br/><br/>It seemed like only the two of them to Rho as he listened, but upon peering down from his perch he spied a third, quieter one, positioned near the back.<i>""Three, unaware, unprepared, shouldn't take that long""</i>He thought as a feeling akin to having too much static charge in ones body, washed over Rho, a familiar feeling. In an eye-blink Rho was gone, a predatory growl being the only thing left of him. Silently he dropped to the jungle floor, Maelstrom in hand and advanced, slowly to the rearguard of the scouts. It took Rho less time than the thought, one good stab and the man dropped, a look of confusion painting his face as a n invisible spear was thrust through him, cutting off any cries. Withdrawing his weapon slowly, the invisible Rho turned and advanced on the other two. Quickly dispatching with the task, Rho turned and began to make his way to the Rebel front-line, keeping his cloak up for good measure. As he neared the line he spied it, a large mech suit, something no ordinary solder would be able to pilot, or even need. He silently keyed his comm ""Command, this is Rho. I have visual on a possible High value. Requesting permission to engage."""

Constantly injected with a mind control formula known as Serum, they are forced to do what their commanding creator tells them.

Unlike Active Camo it doesn’t suffer from the problem of a shifting background, and so Rho is able to be cloaked even if running at full sprint.<br/><i>Kinetic Strikes-</i>Using this ability Rho is able to focus absorbed ambient energy to amplify his strikes, both armed and unarmed, enough to shatter most metal and kill a living organism, with the right hit, in a blow<br/><br/><b>Bio:</b>Abducted at an incredibly young age by the System, Rho was more or less raised in a lab, all the various experiments and tests became the everyday, his designation became his name. As he grew the experiments became more, sinister. With alarming frequency stepped up a rigorous augmentation cycle, they began to replace various bones with Bio-augmented copies; they weaved wiring into his muscle structure, which connected back to the augmented bones. This procedure left Rho covered in various surgical scars and his eyes glowing a muted electric blue, but the end result is what counted. It was soon reveled that Rho was now able to pull from the ambient energy around him, draw it into his body and focus it into abilities. The first manifested itself early, disseminating the energy throughout his body, Rho was able to shift the opaqueness of his body and the light beams around it, rendering himself and certain attuned items next to invisible. The second took longer to manifest than the first, needing a catalyzing force to allow it to realize its full manifestation. This catalyst took the form of a fight between the young Rho and another, older, Augment. The fight started over a trivial matter, but it soon spiraled out of control and Rho found himself fighting for his life. As the fight progressed Rho started losing, that was however until he landed a desperate blow into the other Augment’s chest. There was a near thunderclap of sound and the Augment was sent careening backwards, only Rho was left standing, small electric like sparks jumping between his fingers. Further tests and studies found that Rho had focused the energy stored within him to amplify the kinetic force to a level where that one punch, as uncoordinated as it was, was still highly lethal. From that moment on his path was set, he was crafted as a warrior and an assassin, using his abilities to great effect in the field, hunting down those who the System decided were “High risk” targets. Yet, like all Projects Rho has always wondered what lies beyond the System, and has shown the will to try and slip out of the System's control before.<br/><br/><b>Extra:</b><br/><i>Maelstrom-</i>A double bladed staff weapon, Rho's signature weapon it is attuned to his Adaptive Camouflage and Kinetic strikes. In his hands it is a weapon of brutal effectiveness and grace.<br/><br/><i>Type-II Chitin armor-</i>Advanced Reactive armor, the Chitin is a prototype armor that was built to augment Rho's stealth and combat longevity abilities while allowing him to retain maximum flexibility, as such it is also attuned to his Camouflage and Strikes. It houses multiple sensors such as, motion sensors, and proximity sensors. It also has magnetic clamps for the Maelstrom in it collapsed state, Rho's pistols, Knives, and extra ammunition for the pistols.<br/><br/>To augment his fighting abilities he also carries two high powered, suppressed pistols and a variety of combat knives. He is also considered one of the best at hand to hand combat and most full sized firearms."

</div><br/>Abilities:<br/>Flame Breath<br/>Pyrokinesis<br/>Flame Immunity<br/>Bio: Cinder was taken by the System at an early age, as most projects were. His induction into the program went smoothly and the augmentations applied to him were abnormally successful. In addition to his normal lungs, a small air sac that generated volatile gas was implanted in his chest, along with a small sparking mechanism in his throat that runs off the natural electricity in his body. This allows him to breathe fire, though did not protect him from it. Over the years afterward, Cinder's biology was altered to the point that he would grew skin that was extremely resistant to heat. Tested with flamethrowers, he was left unharmed. During one of these tests, while Cinder was being showcased at age ten, that flame seemed to flow around him rather than over him. From that point forward, Cinder was not only immune to flames, but able to control them to some extent. This was the focus of his training for several years, until his escape. This escape involved a delay in Cinder's reception of Serum. Cinder reacted violently, killing several people with flames before melting a hole in an exterior wall to flee. Left with only shreds of his sanity, he wanders with no particular destination in mind other than 'away.' He suffers acute pyromania, only appearing calm in the presence of an open flame. Once away from a fire, Cinder is almost completely unable to act until there is extreme danger to his person. Only then does he resort to breathing fire, which usually brings him back around."

The limitation of this power is that Sue will keep her adaptation until it is no longer necessary or she is no longer exposed to that catalyst (i.e. Drowning? Aquatic respiration!

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        This is just theorizing the extent of this power. Move on if you don't care. Sue can have these ""micro evolutions"" but only a certain amount can develop in one time frame without putting strain on the body, or one major adaptation happening too fast may cause irreversible damage or effects. I would estimate a good 5 minute to 1 hour interval between changes, depending on the extremities. And in some cases, she is constantly exposing herself to a catalyst or situation so that a certain ""Micro evolution"" won't disappear or something along those lines.
      </div>
</div><br/><br/>Project Biography:<br/><div class=""bb-indent""> Brought to the Project facilities at the age of 5, Sue was primarily used as a lab rat to test certain drugs and chemicals that would be approved to use on actual Projects. Sue was recorded to have a very strong constitution, as all test dummies must, but despite her age, her physical and mental states were strong enough for her to tolerate more out of any of the other prototype Projects. Her greatest contribution was an age accelerator serum, for a scenario of when a child's body would not suffice for further experimentations. The prototype version was injected into her body countless times, causing extreme abnormal growths, irregular symptoms of aging (Puberty, menopause, etc.), tumors, and extra appendages; this lead to her loosing both legs and her right arm after suffering irreparable damage. She was close to being terminated, but saved for a different type of testing, considering she was a kind of favorite lab rat amongst the engineers. Because of her damaged state, she was tested to be a sort of engineer that would care for machines and other Projects in the front lines. Sue displayed a remarkable affinity with the technology around her and a freakishly hyper adaptability to common situations that would occur in the field. The team of engineers working with her saw great potential, and enhanced her abilities, augmenting her with micro organic machinery and other wares; hoping to make her a fully realized project. Just as the engineers were ready to have their prized Project move up from the prototype phase, and be presented for approval, Sue sabotaged her own project. She had hacked into the mainframe of the facility, deleting any and all traces of her existence, using the building's weaponized defense system to kill the engineers who worked with her, and so on. Once she was done and through with escaping as far as she could, Sue turned to the only ones that fought against the iron fist of the System. </div><br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Extras!</span><br/><div class=""bb-indent""> She has a wonderful mech she built herself, from scrap metal and spare parts; Sue likes to call it Chamberlain. She sleeps in a sensory deprivation tank; Also uses it when she uses her cyberkinesis for extended amounts of time. Sue's prosthetic legs do not share her adaptive abilities, but she can shape them with ease.<br/>Her favorite foods are sweet tea and sandwiches.""</div><hr/>I will add onto this soon, but take what I have and I shall await your judgement~! :3"

</div><br/><br/><b>Abilities</b>:<br/><br/>Pathogen manipulation: This ability allows Wraith to create pathogens in the environment around him, to infect his enemies with any disease he chooses, so long as it is not genetic. As such, he is immune to all diseases.<br/><br/><b>Bio</b>: Wraith was captured at an extremely early age, and never knew who his parents were, he was also too young when they experimented upon him to remember the agony of it. The System was merciless towards him, injecting him with many different chemicals. His mental state was recorded as feeble, and the scientists who were responsible for him were unsure if they would be successful in making him into a powerful project. Despite this, Wraith was trained in advanced martial arts, and taught how to use different types of System weaponry, in anticipation of him being a soldier if the experiments failed. It was soon discovered, however, that they were a radical success. Wraith unknowlingly infected a large amount of System scientists with pathogens, and created a disease previously unknown to man. He had a large body count before scientists finally realized it was Wraith who was causing this, and they had him locked in a quarantined room. Every day a scientist would come into the room, wearing a newly invented suit made specifically to keep out all disease, and would try to help him learn how to control his ability. He slowly made progress, and after about a year, he could finally fully control his power.<br/><br/>Soon, he was given an assignment, but he refused, as it was entirely too cruel to innocent people. Using his ability, he killed many System scientists as he tried to escape the facility, but just before he did, he was sedated by a scientist wearing DCA (Disease Control Armor), and transported back to a lab. There, he was injected with serum, too much for anyone to handle, and his mind cracked. His memories became twisted and strange to him. After that, the only thing he believed he could fully rely on was the System. He was indoctrinated into believing them to be his savior, and that the rebellion was made up of criminals and scum who wanted nothing but to disrupt the peace of the System."
17392,The System,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18611-the-system,['Casual'],2014-03-15 15:04:00,Wernher,"Appearance:<br/><img src=""http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs16/f/2007/144/0/8/Si_Girl_by_kometani.jpg""/><br/><br/>Name:<br/>-Veronika Cornikova Tolstoy<br/><br/>Nickname:<br/>-White Mantis (Due to her hair color and tendency to murder all that get close to her at one point or another by fear of betrayal)<br/><br/>Age:<br/>-32<br/><br/>Gender:<br/>-Psychologically Female, physically null.<br/><br/>Side:<br/>System<br/><br/>Race:<br/>-Project<br/><br/>Abilities:<br/>-Extreme Regeneration: Her health is cancerous in nature and thus she can regenerate pretty much any injury short of being vaporized and this, extremely quickly. Any injury she suffers however pushes her limit break farther. It is notable that if she should lose a limb, she will desperately do anything she can no matter how suicidal to regain the bones contained by the severed limb.<br/>-Genetic Mimic: By skin contact she can absorb the very being of a person and copy it. Physically have a mostly flawless copy of the subject but also, on projects, copy their powers. While it is perfect in nature, it can be considered 'Too perfect' and by touching people she will also absorb some personality quirks and habits through RNA, making her mind lose itself in the people she absorbed. She can manage 1 absorption with some ease, 2 is a challenge and 3 is the absolute limit she gives herself since more will make her mind lost itself in the information absorbed from others and rather than becoming someone else, becoming an erratic blob of regenerating goo.<br/><br/>Even after Curing the Limit Break, it is notable that she still keeps a relation with the one she got to mimic, should he still be alive. A quirk, the impression of knowing this person like a twin brother despite maybe knowing very little of him. It is notable that some of of herself remains with the one she entered in contact with and while this is harmless, the effects of post-mimic stage are still there and as such, those that already had an encounter with her will tend to see through her disguises somehow, she reminds them of someone they always knew very closely although they can't say how exactly.<br/><br/>Bio:<br/>The daughter of a prosperous CEO and board chairman that unfortunately got cancer. It could not be cured easily and when the possible treatments failed one after the other, the man began to desperate. The Projects were in their infancy back then and it hadn't been perfected but he decided it was worth a shot and so, he acquired a company specialized in genetics, got the best scientists he could and ordered them to save his daughter somehow. At first they tried to fight the cancer, engineer a way for her body to beat or adapt to it but the stage was so advanced it proved futile. Another approach was attempted, rather than engineer the body to the cancer, engineer the cancer to the body. It succeeded, more or less. They made the cancer so it would be functional as her organs failed and engineered it to drain from her pristine bone marrow DNA and RNA so it would keep the form of Veronika. At first it seemed like a miracle but as the cancer attacked her brain it became clear this was flawed. She tended to lose memory and act more out of reflex than by thought. When asked questions she could answer them but when asked to say how she knew the answer it became obscure and difficult. She knew people were scientists and that the man before him was her father but it began to lose its meaning, she had affection for him but couldn't say why.<br/><br/>It turned out that the cancer was draining and mutating the bone marrow itself, her brain was almost entirely gone and without something, a direction from her DNA instructing her how to keep thoughts, she was becoming nothing more than cancer itself, alive only in the sense that she wasn't dead. This was the physical limit at which her body would break, the limit break. Without fresh DNA to serve as a code of operation, there would be nothing left and not any DNA would do as the draining of another DNA would cause her to change as this person. With what was left of her intact bone marrow, her DNA was archived and regularly she would be injected with this ersatz of DNA as to keep her going.<br/><br/>Eventually, her father passed away and Veronika inherited of his part of the Corporate Empire, becoming a merchant princess among men. At this point she began to be paranoid that she wasn't really her, that her very being could be changed into something else entirely without her noticing. After a period of existential dread this evolved into paranoia. She killed the scientists working on her Ersatz and automated the process, she dealt with her close advisers and replaced them with yesmen. Ultimately as her memories blended more and more and concepts became more vague despite her ersatz intake, she began broaden her paranoia, someone somewhere was always trying to get to her, rather than giving her great power, she saw her almost endless supplies of money as to give her all power, including the right of life and death over the planets she ruled over. Those bellow her served since she payed them and those above didn't really care for she didn't really realized anymore that the universe was bigger than what she knew (She has lost the ability to think about the broader concept of universe and that something she doesn't know about actually exists. She knows there are billions of humans but can't really scale that into perspective.).<br/><br/>It was only a question of time before she set her murderous sight on the Rebellion, seeing anyone fighting against the system fighting against her, herself being in the 5th most powerful CEO. Of course, anyone plotting against her had to be put down. White Mantis became the nickname of the one producing one project after another and abusing of serum to keep them as slaves, sending waves of mercenaries and security agents after anything that she as much as suspected as being related to the Rebellion. Luckily, her mind being ravaged she is often short sighted and 90% of the time strikes at innocents and when she actually gets a decent commander to work for her, it isn't long until she sees him as a possible menace and traitor. All of this contributed to make the Corporate forces under terrible command and make the population more and more angry at the corporations due to random acts of violence due to suspicions of rebel presence.<br/><br/>Extra:<br/>-Skeleton Relic: She was engineered to hold her bone marrow as her source of life. With the Ersatz she could rid herself of her old skeleton but she killed the scientists before they could make some adjustment to this behavior. As such she will religiously try and keep all bits of bones within her viscous cancerous mass.<br/><br/>-Limit Break: As she is constantly shifting her DNA as the cancer lives, Veronika needs something to keep herself from becoming a sterile and feral blob of goo, the stages of limit break are multiple:<br/>1A: Normal, more or less sane with the personality closest of the 15 year old Veronika, albeit twisted somewhat.<br/>2A: Dull, hard to reason with and living on instinct and reflex, very short memory span.<br/>3A: Feral, living only on the basest of human reflexes: Eat, survive. IQ of a predatory animal, very little humanity left.<br/>4A: Inert, intelligence on a cellular level, doesn't do anything but grow until it lacks nutriments and die, will get nutriments from those unlucky or stupid enough to get in contact with the blob.<br/><br/>1B: When absorbing another genetic material than her's at stage 1, Veronika will mostly keep her personality as the prime one, although on stage two that of the absorbed subject may take significant place.<br/>2B: Absorption of foreign material at stage 2 will revert Veronika to stage 1 with roughly equal parts of Veronika and the subject's behaviors.<br/>3B: At this point, reversal to stage 1 with the subject's behavior and some imprinted memory, Veronika will believe that she is the absorbed subject and objection to this will be met with delusion.<br/>4B: The blob will only absorb material to feed itself and although there can be some change, it will be too limited in scope to return Veronika to any form of sentience, only a considerable amount of Ersatz (About equal to the blob's body size) and significant scientific attention will return it to sentience."

He would find himself laughing contently with his father. His patriarch took the time to provide constructive criticism on his battling technique, and he would always become the Pokémon League Champion. He would become famous, just as his father had once been. They were just that however, dreams. Ren had to accept the fact that his father was gone and would never return. That’s just the way things were.<br/><br/>Sometimes when he found himself alone, he would allow tears to spill over. He would cry out for the father that he barely remembered. That was only when he was alone. In front of the rest of the world he was a rock. He was impassive, brutally honest, and sarcastic. Ren guessed this was the reason that he had never gained a human travelling companion. Not that he had ever wanted one, it was easier this way. No attachments, meaning nothing to hold him back. Feelings were just a sign of weakness anyways.<br/><br/>The wind tousled the platinum blonde hair that hung messily about his face. The face that somehow always seemed to be stuck in a half frown. He found himself leaning against the railing of the S.S. Aqua, gazing out at the seemingly never ending waters with earth colored eyes. The ship cut through the sea as butter would be cut by a knife. They were set to arrive in Vermillion within the hour, which was fine by Ren. The choppy waves made his stomach churn uncomfortably. He much preferred the feel of solid ground to this. This was the trainer’s first time on a boat, and it would also be his last.<b>I’ll definitely be using the Magnet Train on the way home.</b>Ren found himself thinking as his stomach gave another lurch.<br/><br/>At his feet the young man’s companion lay curled up sleeping, apparently unabashed by the water or the boat. His Pokémon were just as good as any human in his opinion. “Lucky.” He found himself murmuring as he prodded the Umbreon with his foot. “Genesis, we’re almost there.” The nickname given to his partner had been chosen by his father, and Ren would have altered it given the choice. The Pokémon was just as stubborn as his owner it seemed, and so his name remained unchanged. The Umbreon stirred faintly, opening one of his eyes with a large yawn.<br/><br/>In the distance, the sight of land caught Ren’s eye. Relief bloomed in his chest as he put two fingers in his mouth, before emitting a shrill whistle. In response a shadow dropped from high in the sky. His second Pokémon gracefully descended from the clouds. With a slight coo in his direction, his second friend, Pidgeotto wrapped its large talons around the same railing that Ren had been leaning against previously. The bird lovingly nuzzled against the side of the trainer’s face for a moment. “Quit it Pig!” Ren growled menacingly, using one hand to push the bird away. Pig responded by nipping at his trainer’s fingers lightly.<br/><br/>While Genesis resembled Ren’s personality, Pig was definitely the direct opposite. He loved to be around people, and always seemed to enjoy making new friends wherever the group travelled. The port drew closer, and the Captain’s voice could be heard from the speakers surrounding the boat. “We will be reaching Vermillion City momentarily. Please be sure to gather all your belongings, as we will be leaving once more for Johto by late afternoon.” Ren took no notice, as he had never put his belongings down in the first place. After another painstakingly long ten minutes, the ship pulled even with the port. After the captain wished them all a good day, they were allowed to exit. Not a moment too soon if you asked Ren.<br/><br/>He bustled towards the exit. When his feet found the pier the trainer released air that he hadn’t even realized that he had been holding. “Finally.”"

Beside her came the muffled sounds of a tiny pokemon hidden beneath the blankets before a furry brown head poked its way out from under the duvet. ""Eeee!"" Said a small eevee as it nuzzled her face. ""Well good morning to you too Korra!"" Smiling, she lifted herself from her pillow and swung her feet over the side of the bed. A warm breeze drifted its way in from the open veranda doors and between the curtains she caught a glimpse of a fiery orange tail swaying about. ""Enjoying the air out there Nova?""<br/><br/>""Arca!"" The massive arcanine rose and made his way into the room, licking at Skye's feet, urging her to get moving.<br/><br/>""Okay, okay, I'm up! I'm going. Off with you!"" She said with a warm smile on her face. Down stairs she heard her mother calling her two companions by name, summoning them for breakfast so Skye could have time to herself to get ready. As she moved about her room collecting clothes and brushing out her long, strawberry locks, she couldn't help but feel a sense of serenity sweep over her as she let her thoughts drift to the meaning of the day. She had chosen today to start her next journey and it couldn't have come a minute sooner. As much as she enjoyed her life in Vermillion she had always felt so sheltered and condensed in the streets of the quaint city. She needed experience, knowledge, training; if she was ever to understand the workings of pokemon breeding and the intricate science behind it she would have to spend more time out in the real world witnessing a vast array of battles, contests, and pokemon species. She decided she would first head to Pewter City to meet with the returned Gym Leader Brock; he had taken a leave of absence from the gym to venture off on his own journey and had returned as one of the most esteemed breeders in all of Kanto. His knowledge would be of infinite value.<br/><br/>After Pewter, she wasn't sure exactly where she would go; perhaps collect the 8 gym badges of the region and work towards a chance to meet the elite 4 and the regions champion; no doubt their pokemon were of the highest calibre. She knew she would miss home on her travels, but she would have her two closest friends with her; she had decided to leave behind the rest of her team to turn over a new leaf. A year ago, she had returned from her first journey in a distant land and had grown substantially from the experience. The debate of whether or not to go on another journey was one that went on for months, and once it was decided, it took her even longer to settle on venturing through her home region instead of taking off to Sinnoh. Despite having been born and raised in Vermilion, she rarely ventured out of the city for her family had little reason to travel. They owned an orchard in the north eastern corner of Vermilion City, built on a patch of land purchased by her grandfather many years ago. For his whole life he could never make up his mind what he wanted to do with the land and it wasn't until he passed away that her mother and father settled on building a natural escape in the busy city. They grew berries of all kinds and sold them raw or in processed drinks and baking. The orchard doubled as a pokemon daycare and growing up, Skye quickly developed an interest in the breeding and raising of pokemon.<br/><br/>A loud whistle rung out in the distance just then, snapping Skye from her thoughts. ""That must be the day's ferry. I wonder what kind of people are being brought here this time..."" She thought out loud. When she noticed the time, she pulled herself from her lazy routine and quickly prepared to venture out on her journey. She packed her necessities and had one last home cooked meal before saying her fond farewells to her family. Within the hour she was off down the road, heading down to the main square of the town to purchase some supplies for the road before departing. As she neared the docks she slowed down and enjoyed a moment of observing the miscellaneous tourists that speckled the landscape. Chuckling at their awe at a city who's streets she had known since birth, she continued on down her path towards a local Pokemart; Korra pranced happily about at her side, exploring whatever there was to see. Nova Blitz was in his pokeball as he didn't seem to enjoy the packed streets of the downtown region of Vermilion."
17444,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-14 05:40:00,druple,"The roads of Vermillion city were packed. It seemed that a fair amount of people called this place home. People that Ren had no interest in conversing with. The blonde had little time to make friends, and preferred the peaceful sound of less populated areas. There was something about nature that put the young trainer at ease. Being in cities generally set him on edge; because of this he avoided them at all costs. Unless he was buying gear or challenging a gym leader that is. It went without saying that Genesis obviously felt the same way as his trainer. The Umbreon was vigilant in making sure that no strangers approached him, and even let loose a guttural growl as a man entered his comfort zone.<br/><br/>It was for this reason that Ren eventually detached a pokeball from his belt. A red beam of light issued from the dual colored orb; causing the Pokémon to disappear from sight. Not before he shot a reproachful look at his companion however. Genesis absolutely abhorred pokeballs, even back in the days when the trainer had first began his journey. Ren could remember when Genesis would struggle so much that the capsule would open, prematurely spewing the (then) Eevee out. Fond memories flooded Ren’s mind of the days when the two of them had not gotten along great at all. Genesis had even gone so far as to purposely lose battles to prove a point.<br/><br/>At first Ren was thoroughly convinced that it was just another thing his father had failed him in. As it turned out however, the two of them had just been too much alike for their own good. It had been in a moment of weakness that Genesis had first crawled into Ren’s lap. It was when the Pokémon had licked the tears from his face that a friendship had bloomed. The rest was history, and the trainer could hardly remember life before his first friend. Actually, he didn’t want to. It had been entirely too lonely. Shaking his head to clear the thoughts, Ren reminded himself that there were items on his agenda.<br/><br/>In front of him, a girl with an Eevee paused to view the group of people exiting the pier.<b>Probably a local.</b>Ren thought to himself before continuing. The passengers of the boat spilled onto the crowded streets. All of them going their separate ways at that point. Ren attempted to locate the familiar sign of a Pokemart. He was in dire need of some pokeballs, and an array of different medicines for his upcoming travels. Above him, he caught a glimpse of Pig happily soaring through the sky; the blonde marveled at how the Pidgeotto’s wings never seemed to tire. Occasionally his partner would fly extra low, weaving in and out of the various strangers surrounding his trainer. It was like this wherever they went. Pig would attempt to draw as much attention to himself as possible, much to Ren’s contempt. While his main goal was to stay off the radar, Pig’s was the direct opposite.<br/><br/>As if to prove the point the Pokémon tucked his wings diving in front of the girl Ren had noticed earlier. He hovered in front of her for a moment before dropping to the ground in front of her. “Pidgooo!” The Pidgeotto cried happily at the Eevee, obviously attempting to make a new friend.<br/><br/>“Damn it.” Ren muttered to himself. “So much for remaining unnoticed.”"
17445,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-15 02:20:00,Soulserenity20,"After a short while her destination came into view at the end of the street. She hoped Jimmy, one of the store keeps who had developed an unusual obsession with her, wasn't working; she just wanted to get in, get what she needed and get out of the city at long last. As she proceeded down the street, struggling to keep wisps of her long hair out of her face in the gentle breeze she was stopped in her tracks by a chatty pidgeotto. The bird pokemon hovered before her, a blissful look painted onto its face. ""Oh! Well hello there friend."" The pokemon lowered itself to the ground to greet Korra and was quickly taken on by an excited eevee prancing about in a social dance around the feathered stranger. ""Well isn't that something?"" She mused at the friendly exchange between the two.<br/><br/>Skye knelt down to get a closer look at the surprise visitor; its plumage was clean and took on a silky look, leading her to believe it wasn't a wild pokemon. Furthermore, it's beak was well shaped, its trademark mane of plumes was very long and thick, and its talons were sharp as could be. The pokemon seemed to be well sized and toned; this pidgeotto was certainly well bred. She smiled in appreciation, sure now more than ever that this pokemon had a trainer. But as she looked around she didn't see an immediate possibility of its trainer. She thought perhaps it had gotten lost? It may very well have belonged to one of the many tourists in the area and it wasn't hard to lose track of a person on the days the ferry drifted to the docks.<br/><br/>""Pidgeotto"" she said, prying the bird's attention away from Korra's enthusiastic interactions. ""You're not from around here are you? You have a trainer. Is that right?"" The pokemon cooed in confirmation and hopped about happily, motioning to a blonde man a little ways away. ""Ah, is that your trainer there? He doesn't look very happy..."" Standing up, she turned to greet the approaching stranger, twisting a strand of her hair in slight nervousness as she realized the man was surprisingly attractive. ""Uhm, hey there. Is this your pidgeotto? It seems to have found a friend."" She motioned down to the cheery little eevee now sitting at her side, brown eyes trained on the new comer. ""This is Korra, and I'm Skye. Your pokemon is quite beautiful, I'd be willing to bet it has an impressive pedigree behind it."""
17446,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-15 04:40:00,druple,"Running crossed his mind several times, but that obviously wasn’t an option. He couldn’t leave his Pokémon behind. In front of him Pig seemed ecstatic that the eevee was returning his advances. The long strawberry hair of the girl swayed in the light breeze, and Ren watched as she knelt to ground to get a closer look at his pidgeotto. Pig loved attention of any kind; instantly the bird puffed up to look more impressive. The girl inspected him with a close eye for a moment. Once she was satisfied, she spoke to his pokémon in low tones that he couldn’t quite catch. Behind her Ren waited with baited breath. Perhaps she would just take it with a grain of salt and go on her – nope. In horror, the trainer watched as Pig pointed him out of the crowd.<b>I’ll kill that bird.</b>He thought to himself vehemently.<br/><br/>As if in slow motion the other trainer’s eyes slowly caught his, and Ren felt himself flush. There was no chance of getting away now. Unable to move, he felt himself frozen in the same spot as she steadily moved closer. Behind her he watched as Pig looked at him smugly as if he had planned the entire thing. The flying type pokémon rose in the air, gracefully gliding over to his trainer before folding his wings again and eyeing him expectantly.<b>That little jerk…</b>Ren tried his best to look nonchalant as she approached speaking distance.<br/><br/><i>""Uhm, hey there. Is this your pidgeotto? It seems to have found a friend.""</i><br/><br/>“..Pidgeotto?” He heard himself say stupidly.<i>Oh way to go you idiot. This is the reason you avoid people in the first place.</i>Ren cleared his throat, attempting to patch up his error so that the girl didn’t think he was an absolute mental case. “Oh, yes. Yes, that dunce belongs to me.” He recovered, his tone adapting to its normal sarcastic bite.<b>Much better.</b>He found himself thinking as his trademark smirk fixed itself on his face. At his feet, Pig chirped indignantly before pecking at his ankle. Ren pointedly ignored the pokémon though a stab of pain shot up his leg. “He has a knack for picking out the weaklings.” His cocky smile grew wider still. “You know what they say about birds of a feather..” he finished before trailing off pointedly.<br/><br/>Yes, that would surely drive her away. She would be gone and he could go back to what he knew best. Quiet travel. “The name’s Ren, and this is Pig.” He responded gruffly, ignoring her compliment to his pidgeotto. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I was just on my way to the pokemart.”"

Though Skye was a kind person and much of a pacifist by nature she simply could not handle a trainer disrespecting his own pokemon when it so clearly was a capable companion. ""I beg your pardon? Do you always insult your pokemon so much? Or is that just something you do to complete strangers and their companions? I don't think this beautiful pidgeotto is much of a dunce at all from what I've seen, and I have no doubt in my mind that its not weak. It's well built and in peak condition, so if there's a reason at all for it to be weak it would be no one's fault but its trainers.""<br/><br/>She scooped up eevee and looked Ren in the eye. For such a handsome man he sure was.... off. But nonetheless, she wasn't about to let him just walk away after such words. ""Fancy that, I'm heading to the Pokemart too so perhaps I'll join you and our ""weak"" pokemon can spend a little more time enjoying each other's company."" She turned to start making her way towards the building. ""So, what are you collecting supplies for? The voyage home?"" Here she was assuming he wasn't from around here; she would certainly have known who he was, had he been. ""Or a journey through Kanto? Vacation maybe?"""

She was obviously appalled that he would even say things of that sort. He of course knew that his pokémon were anything but weak; he had trained them after all. He had even started to walk away when she had unleashed some stinging words of her own. He stopped quite suddenly as he felt his grin falter, immediately replaced by a bright red hue on his cheeks.<b> This girl is so infuriating..</b>It was clear that the young man wasn’t used to having an insult thrown back with such speed and ferocity. He felt his jaw set angrily.<br/><br/><i> It's well built and in peak condition, so if there's a reason at all for it to be weak it would be no one's fault but its trainers. </i><br/><br/>Ren scoffed. At his feet Pig gave a chirp of agreement, clearly siding with the stranger. A pang of guilt attacked his chest, and he made a mental note to apologize to the bird once they escaped this persistent foreigner. “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, please excuse me if I don’t value yours highly.” He vocalized bitterly, attempting to leave her behind. To his annoyance she followed, saying that she was headed in the same direction.<b>Well that’s just great…</b>He thought to himself irritably. Why couldn’t she just leave him alone? It was obvious that he didn’t want her company. She was relentless, he had to give her that. It was almost as if Pig was giving him a taste of his own medicine.<br/><br/>She was full of questions, and he took a second to wonder why she was so interested in him. Well if Skye wasn’t leaving he might as well attempt to make a stab at conversation. Perhaps his sarcastic remarks would eventually convince her to leave him be. “I’m on my second journey.” He replied simply before eyeing her eevee. Korra seemed content with her current form, which was a far cry from what his own had been like. Genesis had been eager to evolve, though Ren had to admit that he hadn’t expected to receive an Umbreon. He himself had been leaning more towards Jolteon. He even had the thunderstone at home in his room.<br/><br/>“Do you usually follow people who don’t want you around?” Ren inquired of her as the pokemart came into view. Overhead pidgeotto hovered along, staying close. The flying pokémon landed on the roof of the store when they drew close, content to wait for his trainer to complete his agenda. He fell silent as he opened the door to the shop, not bothering to hold it for Skye."

Her eyes widened and she turned slowly to see Jimmy standing a few inches away from her face with his usual eerie smile.<br/><br/>""Hello Skye."" He said in a smooth, monotone voice.

Skye had a disturbed look on her face as she tried to think of a nice way to get out of this awkward conversation. Jimmy was an unusual guy, to say the least. He had a bit of an obsession with Skye and in the past few months he was bridging on stalker. She always thought there was something a little... off about the man; she had overheard her mother talking to her friends about Jimmy's mother doing all sorts of unhealthy things during her pregnancy and that her activities were to blame for Jimmy's unusual personality. She sure didn't know what went wrong and when but something certainly had that led the scrawny, dark haired boy to be so... abnormal.<br/><br/>""Uhh, no. I uh."" Before she could say anymore he quickly dashed behind the counter and lifted up a box of miscellaneous goods from the store.<br/><br/>""Well, I saw you coming with your, er, friend with the look of death over there."" He gestured towards Ren. ""And I took the pleasure of collecting some items I think you might like."" Rummaging in the box he pulled out different items as he spoke. ""I have a pokedoll, top quality: you like pokedolls don't you? I remember when we were children you used to bring one just like this to school everyday. Of course it took me years to find a replica of the one you used to have, we only carry the latest models of course. But after some searching I found it!"" Skye paled; she remembered he used to watch her play with the doll and eventually got rid of it, hoping he would look elsewhere for a person to observe in play. ""And I have some pecha berry tarts, I was passing by your house a few months ago and saw you taking out your trash, an empty boxes of these fell out so of course I assumed you liked them. Anyone would."" With each item he pulled out she slowly back away, a bothered look on her face.<br/><br/>""Uhhhhh, say, that's all really nice of you and all but uh, I just need a few pokeballs, some full heals and a dozen potions. Nothing else."" At her feet, Korra's fur stood on end, she didn't much like the creepiness emanating of the shopkeep either.<br/><br/>""What? You don't want all these beautiful things I've collected for you? I've been keeping them here for years, waiting for a good time to give them to you. And now that you're leaving on your journey through Kanto I won't get to see you every day.""<br/><br/>""E-every day...?"" She backed up further until she bumped into Ren. Quickly she took a place at his side, creating some idea that he would protect her from the weird fellow before her."

Mentally, he weighed his options before deciding that honesty was the best policy. “I usually don’t keep people around for long. You’re honestly the longest conversation I’ve had in years.” He replied with no shame. The door swung closed behind them. Ren wasted no time in hastily taking off down the aisles after picking up a basket. He grabbed the necessities for his trip.<b> Potions, antidotes, burn heals..”</b>He named them off internally while at the same time dumping several of each item into his shopping basket. At the door Skye seemed to be involved in a very uncomfortable conversation with the shopkeeper.<b>Serves her right.</b>the trainer thought smugly.<br/><br/>That was when the man’s voice carried through the store. If Ren strained, he could just barely make out parts of the conversation. What he heard was enough to make even<i>his</i>heart sink for Skye. He was taking some unsually bold advances towards the annoying girl. He truly had no shame, and Ren stopped his shopping to actually listen. The weird kid had produced a box of some sort of knick-knacks from under the counter. He was showing her some things while talking animatedly, all the while Skye paled.<br/><br/><i>”..your friend with the look of death.”</i>The weird guy said, jerking a thumb in his direction. As if in slow motion, he felt the basket in his hands fall to ground making a loud clatter.<b>Did that sonofa- Oh hell no.</b>Ren didn’t care if he was in a foreign land. No-one talked about him in that manner. His pokeball was in his hand, the other balled into a tight fist. With a look of fire in his eyes, he returned to his place at the girl’s side. “I’m going to pretend that you never said that.” He heard himself snarl. “I’m also going to pretend that you aren’t talking to my<i>girlfriend</i>in such a displeasing manner.” Ren felt himself flush again, this time a color more associated to fuschia. He shot a look at the annoying girl. With the hand not clenching the pokeball, he made a point to entwine his fingers with hers.<br/><br/>“Is this guy bothering you my love?” Ren said in the sweetest voice he could muster, before turning his eyes to glare at the freak. “Because I would love to rip someone limb from limb today.” He continued quietly, almost daring this ‘Jimmy’ to step up."
17451,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-16 16:23:00,Soulserenity20,"As Ren's hand slid into her and his fingers wound between hers she could feel an uncomfortable feeling rising up in her. Despite everything that was going on, all she could think about in that moment was how attractive this stranger was and her awareness of how close to her his body was. For a moment she simply stared at him, both thankful and embarrassed. She was torn from her thoughts by his question.<br/><br/>""Huh? Oh, uh, no, he uh, well-"" Again she was cut off by Jimmy.<br/><br/>""Gahhhhhhhh!<i>BOYFRIEND?</i>? You don't have a boyfriend! I would know if you did!"" He paused mid sentence, quivering in anxiety as he noticed the blonde man's viscous expression and his hand ready on his pokeball. Jimmy may have been a little eccentric and borderline insane but he was not stupid; this trainer had a look of victory about him and there was no way Jimmy's team of a nidoran, rattata and magikarp were going to stand a chance against him. ""Buuuuuuut, I don't want any problems. I mean, I would never want to cause my beautiful Skye to get stress wrinkles on her flawless, perfect skin....YOUR!<i>Your</i>beautiful Skye! Was what I meant..."" He trailed off for a moment, gazing creepily at Skye before snapping back into the conversation at the second notice of Ren. ""Well! Any<i>friend</i>of Skye's is a friend of mine! Uh, look, why don't you just take what you need, on the house? Yeah! My treat! You haven't accepted any of my birthday presents for you in the last 13 years so this can be a great big gift from me to you, maybe you'l think of me on your journey?""<br/><br/>There was no way she was taking anything from his for free, she had always hated the idea of debt and the concept of owing this insane man any favors bothered her to the core. ""No, no I couldn't possibly do that. And if you knew me at all you'd know I couldn't. Please, just allow us to purchase our goods and leave. We're already running late, and my darling Ren here doesn't like tardiness, now do you babe?"" She curled herself around his arm, resting her head on his shoulder for effect as she gave a (just slightly) snide smile to Jimmy. It was so refreshing to not feel vulnerable to the odd shopkeep. ""Now if you'll excuse us."" She dragged Ren down the isles, quickly collecting her necessities before slapping down a large pile of bills on the counter, enough to pay for her own and Ren's goods as well. ""Keep the change, goodbye!""<br/><br/>Before Jimmy could lift the bills to inhale her scent they were out the door. Skye broke free of Ren's hold, though reluctantly, and sat down on a bench a few few away. Korra lept up on her lap and began licking her hands in a soothing manner. After taking a few moments to recollect herself, she looked over to Ren. She gazed directly into his eyes, so thankful for what he had done. ""Thank you."" Came her voice in a sincere tone."

Ren could hear the touch of fear in his voice, and his smug grin returned. Once he was sure that the danger had passed, he returned Genesis’ pokeball to his belt. He listened to Skye stumble across her words, and watched as Jimmy backed down from the altercation. Ren couldn’t say that he blamed him, it was obvious that this odd man realized that his own skill in battle was a little lackluster. There was no doubt in his mind that his own team would have dismantled the other trainer’s in little more than a second. This odd fellow was obviously very distraught that the annoying girl had a boyfriend.<br/><br/>Ren chose to remain silent and let his new acquaintance handle the rest of the conversation. The strange cashier mentioned something about all of their items for free of charge and Ren felt himself shake his head with a small laugh. There was not a chance in hell, he was taking this stuff for free. Eventually the store clerk backed down completely, and they were allowed to finish their shopping unbothered. The blonde allowed Skye to drag him down the aisles, pausing only to pick up his basket that he had dropped so carelessly before. Once they both had all the items they would need for their respective journeys, he reached into his pocket to pay for all of it. Imagine his surprise when she hastily paid for his items too.<br/><br/><i>“We're already running late, and my darling Ren here doesn't like tardiness, now do you babe?”</i><br/><br/>Ren grunted in agreement, seemingly unable to speak. His chest felt awkward, it was almost as if his stomach had grown a pair of wings. Her hand was warm in his, and he was shocked when she took it a step further to rest her head on his shoulder. He wasn’t used to the feeling of another person against his skin, who knew that it would feel so… good? Pushing that thought out of his head, he made his way to the door. This time he pressed it open for the both of them. Once the duo was clear of the pokemart, he felt her release his hand. She made her way over to the closest bench.<br/><br/>Skye took a moment to get her emotions back into check, and Ren took the opportunity to do the same. He felt his face sink back into a half frown. He felt her gaze upon him, and for a moment their eyes connected. Something inside him clicked, but he ignored it pointedly. Instead he broke the eye contact as Pig came to rest on his shoulder with a content coo. The trainer was glad that his pokémon had forgiven him. It would save the embarrassment of having to apologize to the pidgeotto later.<br/><br/><i>""Thank you.""</i>Ren heard her say. He fiddled with his hand for a second before returning her gaze once more. “Don’t mention it. Seriously.” The platinum haired boy responded gruffly. “I just knew that a weakling like you couldn’t handle it alone.”"

""Strength has nothing to do with this.<i>'Weakling'</i>? How would you have any idea how strong I am? Everyone has weaknesses, that doesn't make them weak."" She stood up and began placing her good into her rucksack before turning back to face him. ""So, Mr. Higher-Than-Thou, you're heading out on a second journey eh? Well that makes two of us. I doubt you have any idea where you're going of course. But a<i>weakling</i>like me knows her way around this place. So I suppose I could return the favour for you helping me back there and show you around.""<br/><br/>She strung her bag across her chest and flipped her long hair allowing it to collect in the wind before gathering it up on the side of her neck. She bent down to fix a strewn lace on her knee length boots and stood back up, catching Korra as she leapt up to take her place on her shoulder. ""Now if you don't have a specific route in mind, I suggest we head north on Route 6 to Saffron. I'm heading to Pewter City to meet the gym leader Brock, There'll be plenty of gyms on the way if that's what you're after."" Pausing, she took a moment to take in the man standing before her. His brow carried heavy burdens brought with him from wherever he came from, his eyes were cold, yet sharp, his hair was loosely strewn about, its blonde tone matching his pale complexion to create a very attractive product. She swallowed realising how close their bodies were only a few moments ago and the slight, spiced scent that emanated from his body. She hadn't noticed it then but she now realised that he probably had a gorgeous build under those clothes for there was little<i>cushion</i>and an obvious firmness pressed against her body during their little charade.<br/><br/>She quickly caught the feeling of her cheeks heating under her blushed face, brought on by her thoughts and looked away sharply, clearing her throat before she moved forward. As she passed him she tugged at the chest of his shirt and smiled, looking him in the eyes. ""Besides, it might be nice to have such a<i>strong</i>trainer around."" She winked and made her way down the street that led out to Route 6. ""Come on, or do need a minute to think of something nasty to say?"""

After further pondering, he realized that she would probably follow him anyways. Realizing that it was futile he heaved a heavy sigh. “Fine, but you better not slow me down.” He snapped bitterly kneeling to stow away his own gear. “I owe you for buying me items anyways.” After all of his purchases was put away in the appropriate slots, he raised back up to his full height, taking a second to dust his pants off. Maybe things would work out after all. She knew the surrounding area, and he was interested in challenging the gyms. The quicker that he could complete the quest, the faster he would be on his way home.<br/><br/>On his shoulder Pig looked around chirping happily. The flying type pokémon was clearly ecstatic that Korra and her trainer would be joining them. Ren flashed a look of annoyance to the bird, who responded by pecking him on the top of the head. It was apparent that the two shared a love and hate relationship. “Ow..” The blonde haired man grumbled, and Pig retorted with a twitter. He was positive that the scene looked quite comical, and he was sure to shoot a glare in Skye’s direction ahead of time.<br/><br/>He listened intently as Skye explained the route she was taking to Pewter City. Brock was the first gym leader from what he recalled, so it would work out just fine. It would also give him a chance to get his bearings of the region. Saffron was close to Celadon, which was at the heart of the entire region. From there he was sure that he would be able to find his way to the others if things went sour with the annoying girl. Ren nodded in agreement. “Well since you’re apparently the Kanto genius. You lead, I’ll follow.” He replied with a smug tone. Pig pecked him again. “Quit it you stupid bird!” Ren snapped bitterly before turning his attention to Skye.<br/><br/>She was staring at him with a sort of glazed look in her eyes that suggested she was daydreaming. He gave her a perplexed look. Why was she gazing at him like that? It was a bit unnerving. He snapped his fingers. “Look, I know I’m incredibly cute, but you don’t have to stare at me all the time.”<br/><br/><i> ""Besides, it might be nice to have such a strong trainer around.""</i>She shot a wink in his direction, and he flushed. Ren pointedly looked away from the strawberry colored trainer. “Anyways.” He said trying to change the focus of the conversation away from himself. “We should get going right? Or would you rather stare at me some more?”"

Partly for the fact that she too, was eager to get going, but also because she knew she was blushing at the fact that he had taken notice to her nearly drooling over him moments ago. ""I'd be happy to lead. And don't worry, there'll be plenty of time for staring along the way. You<i>are</i>pretty cute you know."" She said with a sly tone. In truth, she was blushing harshly but she couldn't control her personality and she was turned away from him as she progressed through the streets to the nearing exit. Skye had always been an open, honest person, despite her nerves and that wasn't about to change because of some handsome stranger. ""And you don't owe me anything for your goods, that was<i>me</i>repaying a debt to you for helping<i>me</i>out. Don't make me play this 'who owes who' game. We're even, kay?"" She looked back over her shoulder at him with a smile, hoping he would agree that they were on neutral grounds.<br/><br/>""So is your pidgeotto the only pokemon you brought with you?"" Small talk would be necessary if this trip was to ever become more relaxed. Not that she could ever really relax being around such an intimidating character, but if she at least got to know him she figured things would get easier. Already she knew he was a bit of a jerk, but his kind favour back in the pokemart led her to believe that his attitude was more of a wall than anything. This got her thinking<i>what made him become so... snide?</i>She recalled the cold look that seemed to linger in his eyes and the statement that he rarely kept anyone around for long.<i>Well,</i>she thought.<i>unless something dramatic happens, he'll have to get used to having me around.</i>"

A deep red hue covered his cheeks, and he could feel his face grow hot. It wasn’t every day that someone paid him a compliment. In actuality he had been joking when he teased her for staring. Ren had not expected her to say anything of this caliber. The trainer was unsure of what to say, and as a result ended up stumbling over his words. “I… uh.. c-cute you say.” He clamped his mouth shut.<b>Come on Ren say something, you’re losing your grip.</b>A lump formed in his throat and he swallowed hard. “Well.. you aren’t ugly.”<br/><br/>He could have died. This girl shows up, and he suddenly doesn’t know how to use proper English. What was this black magic? Ren took a moment to calm himself, pointedly looking in any other direction instead forward. He was thankful for the change of subject. She claimed that they were even since he had went out of his way to help her escape such a sticky situation. Ren would have argued, but it was clear that her mind was made up. He never would have admitted this out loud, but he was glad. Money was a bit tight since he was sending most of his battle winnings back home to his mother.<br/><br/><i>""So is your pidgeotto the only pokemon you brought with you?""</i><br/><br/>He had been waiting for this moment since they had left the pokemart. Ren shook his head, as he pulled the pokeball from his belt. Worldlessly, he threw it. Genesis’ form appeared, before solidifying The umbreon was visibly confused as to why the girl was there, and immediately retreated behind his trainer. From behind Ren he eyed Skye with a wary look in his eyes. “He’s a bit skittish, so I wouldn’t advise touching him until he gets used to you.” The blonde commented quietly."

Before she could blink, Korra was on the ground squealing in excitement, hearts in her eyes. The eevee approached slowly, with a manner of respect about her and began sniffing at the pokemon from the other side of Ren's legs. She did not receive the friendly vibes she was offering but the look in her eyes said she was exactly like her trainer, and umbreon like his. Korra wasn't letting this one go simply because it wanted to.<br/><br/>Skye chuckled awkwardly as her eevee swooned over the umbreon at Ren's legs. ""Who'd have known? Korra gets to meet one of her relatives in its evolved form. She's never seen an umbreon."" She explained, pointing out the awe and infatuation in Korra's eyes. ""Sure is a stunning umbreon though. Obviously takes after its trainer, look at him hiding away, peering out with cold, non-trusting eye. Hmm..."" She reached into her bag and rummaged about before pulling out a silver tin. Inside was a collection of home-made poffins she had prepared for her trip. Selecting one, she knelt down and offered it to the pokemon with a warm smile. ""Playing hard to get can only work for so long. Eventually it lands you standing still while the rest of the world moves by. Why don't you come on out and say hello? We're going to have to get used to each other eventually. And besides, it looks like Korra's quite smitten with you.""<br/><br/>She looked up, refusing to rise until the shy umbreon gave up its defences. ""He's alot like you you know- not that I really know you at all- but I mean, you give off the same vibes. It's another beautiful pokemon, that's for sure. I've never seen an umbreon this big and with such muscle definition. Amazing..."" She trailed off, observing details of the pokemon while continuing to offer poffins."

Korra was adamant in meeting Genesis, much to the umbreon’s displeasure. He gave a low growl, hastily attempting to avoid the eevee. Apparently unabashed Korra remained relentless in her pursuit. Eventually Genesis conceded, choosing to instead ignore the other pokémon all together. He looked up at Ren with a forlorn look. “I know, they’re annoying. You’ll have to get used to it, they’re both going to be travelling with us for a while.” Genesis replied with a heavy sigh, his ears laid back in obvious annoyance. “Be nice.” The blonde trainer chastised light heartedly.<br/><br/>Ren gazed upon Skye as she offered his pokémon a treat. If there was one thing that Genesis loved more than his trainer it was- As if the Umbreon had read his mind he leapt from behind his trainer’s legs and on the treat, devouring it in one large mouthful. Genesis smacked his lips loudly, enjoying the free meal. “He loves food, he’ll warm up to you in no time if you come with food in hand.” Ren explained with a laugh. Genesis’ ears raised a tad, and he sniffed at Skye’s fingers apparently looking for more.<br/><br/><i>“Obviously takes after its trainer, look at him hiding away, peering out with cold, non-trusting eye.”</i><br/><br/>Ren shot a playful glare in her direction. “Yes, and so does your eevee. Look at her absolutely begging for his attention.” He snapped back friskily, with a slight smirk. The annoying girl certainly had a way with words that was for sure. From his shoulder Pig took flight in search of his own meal now that they had exited the city. Ren listened to Skye’s compliments on the well groomed look of his pokémon, and hastily mumbled a thanks. He wasn’t exactly sure how to take her flattery. It wasn’t like he was used to someone paying attention to him, she was the first person that had braved his cold exterior. It was like she was unabashed by his defenses."

Was she being to open with him? Too forward? Skye's brow furrowed as she, for the first time, considered holding back. However, he inner fire refused and she simply ignored his statement, offering another poffin to Genesis before giving a third to Korra. She had noticed that Pig had taken his leave, off hunting no doubt, and so she stored the tin away in her bag. Standing up she looked Ren up and down. ""Oh, I'm sorry<i>darling</i>"" she said mocking her earlier use of the pet name. ""Are you feeling left out? Cause I'd be more than happy to spoil you with attention whenever you need it, and arceus knows you may need it. I don't think I've seen you smile once since we've met. At least not genuinely."" She shrugged; some people were just more serious than others.<br/><br/>Reaching to one of two tiny pokeballs clipped to a strap along her bag, she smiled and expanded the contraption. ""I guess it's only right I introduce my second partner as well. Come on out!"" She said tossing the ball up in the air so as to provide space for the massive arcanine to materialize. ""This, is my good friend Nova Blitz. He's like your umbreon in the sense that you might not want to touch him without his consent. He can be a little..."" As if reading her mind, Nova snarled lightly at Ren an placed himself at Skye's side, his front leg planted firmly in front of her. ""...protective. Calm down Nova, this is Ren and his friend. They're going to be travelling with us and leaving snide comments along the path. Pay him no mind, he seems like a bully but he's harmless.""<br/><br/>The fiery canine took a step forward and lowered his massive head to meet Ren's gaze, sniffing strongly at his hair. After a moment he gave something of a nod and backed up. ""Nine!"" He chuffed and reclaimed his place at Skye's side, nuzzling her cheek, almost knocking her off balance with his weight. All the while he kept his gaze locked on Ren, as if challenging him, saying<i>Come near her, I dare you.</i>. Skye was oblivious to the sly look in her pokemon's eyes and simply shoved him aside.<br/><br/>""Okay okay, you've met our new companions, now get over it."" She smirked at Nova. Lifting the empty pokeball up she asked, ""Now are you in or out?"" Taking Nova's step back as an<i>out</i>she shrugged and pocketed the device. Meanwhile, Korra was crawling up to Genesis with her poffin in her mouth, inching forward in a submissive state with her torso pressed to the ground. ""Eee?"" She said, offering the treat to the dark pokemon before her. Noticing this, Skye couldn't help but facepalm and shake her head; Korra may as well have been struck with a direct dose of attract for the way she was courting Ren's umbreon."

At the mention of his nonexistent smile the trainer’s stature changed, he felt the cold look return to his eyes. How could he have become so relaxed with this girl? There was no point in making friends along this trip. It would only open up vulnerability. Skye unclipped the miniature pokeball from her pack, and enlarged it before throwing it. The smirk on his face deepened when he realized what it was. “An arcanine, huh? I suppose you could have had a worse partner. Fire types can be quite useful in some battles.” A look of shock crossed his face as the beast snarled in his direction. Immediately he felt his cold indifference turn into a brooding anger. “Or they can be completely useless.” He snapped with a glint in his eyes.<br/><br/>At his feet Genesis also let a guttural grumble tear at his chest, folding his lips back to match the dog.<i>I wouldn’t advise that.</i>The umbreon’s demeanor seemed to say, shooting daggers at the much larger pokémon. “I guess it’s a good thing that size doesn’t define strength, huh?” Ren commented in velvet tones, finally breaking eye contact with the fire type pokémon. On the surface, he seemed unabashed by the arcanine. Inside was a different story and Ren was already thinking of battle tactics. It wasn’t that he was picking a fight, but it was much better to be prepared than not. Genesis’ pupils lingered on the bigger pokemon’s form. “Enough.” Ren barked, and the moonlight pokémon tore his eyes from the arcanine at last.<br/><br/><i>""He's like your umbreon in the sense that you might not want to touch him without his consent.""</i><br/><br/>“Good thing I won’t be touching him anytime soon.” The blonde replied simply. Genesis gave a snort of agreement, before turning his attention to Korra. The eevee was attempting to give him food. His ears laid flat again, as he looked from side to side pondering what to do. Ren knew that it was near impossible for the dark pokémon to turn down a free snack. Genesis’ hunger finally seemed to win out, and he snatched the poffin from the eevee. Pausing for a second, he stared into Korra’s lovesick eyes. Genesis bit the treat in half, letting the other half fall to the ground.<i>Here, take it before I changed my mind.</i>His body language read, as he pointedly looked away from the eevee."

The Eevee looked up at Genesis, making sure it was safe to snag back her half of the treat and when the OK was given she straightened up, releasing an excited, shrill cry. Gobbling up the treat she quickly snuck up to the black pokemon and nuzzled his neck in thanks before running back over to Skye, clambering up her shoulders.<br/><br/>""Well,"" she said. ""We should get going. It'll take us almost all day to get into Saffron. Nova, try not to wander off and scare any spearow flocks like last time, kay?"" The arcanine barked with a blissful tone as it took off across the open fields of the landscape, weaving in and out of the treeline and enjoying his freedom.<br/><br/>""So what kid of a trainer are you Ren?"" She wanted to get to know him a little better and she figured she might as well start now. ""I don't see a type preference from your two current members."" The gentle breeze across the lush route was refreshing and Skye couldn't resist the urge to stretch out and tussle her hair. She glanced across the treetops, looking for a sign of Pig but to no avail. Surely it's trainer would keep track of it, Ren didn't seem like the negligent kind."

Ren knew that he was most likely disgruntled that he had to share in the first place. The umbreon gave a look in Ren’s direction that clearly said,<i>Seriously? I have to put up with this?</i>The trainer couldn’t help but let loose a small snicker, responding with a slight nod. Overhead, Pig swooped by with a piercing squawk before disappearing into the woods again. It was unlike the pidgeotto to stray too far from the blonde, and Ren knew that he could always call the bird back with his trademark whistle.<br/><br/>Ren nodded in agreement, “Yeah I agree. I’m definitely ready to get closer to Pewter city.” The trainer was ready to receive his first badge. “I need to be on the search for either a grass or water type. Currently I have no type advantages over Brock.” As Nova Blitz disappeared into the woodwork, Ren felt the tension in his stomach release. He did not much like the arcanine, and definitely preferred the blissful Korra.<br/><br/>At her inquiry of what type of pokémon he preferred, he shook his head before answering. “I don’t have a preferred type. I would rather have a type advantage as opposed to a matching set of pokémon any day.” The blonde trainer replied with a slight smirk. “What are you going to evolve your eevee into?” He fired back, content to continue this until they reached Saffron."

They had made their way along the route far enough already that Vermillion was fading out of view over the horizon behind them. It was a beautiful day out and wild pokemon could be heard throughout the area as they went about their days. Taking note of his need of a water or grass-type, she was reminded of Professor Oak, the region's pokemon professor.<br/><br/>""Well I know professor Oak has starters. And since this is your first journey in the region, he'd allow you to choose either a bulbasaur, squirtle, or charmander. As for catching one along the way...well, there are plenty of grass type in this area. Skiploom and hoppip can be found in these woods around this time of the year. Bellsprout are like weeds, there are sure to be a bounty of water-type in the springs. We've adopted a number of exotic pokemon into Kanto that seem to have flourished. Even I don't know all the species we have here any more. Just what's around Vermillion."" She paused, biting her lip as she thought. ""You know, now that I think of it, I swear I saw some lotad and lombre in the spring just a ways up. We could take a look, see what there is.""<br/><br/>At her side, Korra pranced about happily back and forth across the path. She would find lost coins, flowers, shiny pebbles and bring them to Genesis. Each time she hoped he would accept them as gifts and each time he rejected her, however he failed to lower her spirits and continued on her search. ""As for Korra, well, I don't plan on<i>evolving her</i>, so to say. I want her to evolve when she wants to into what she wants to. I want to see what decision she makes and what it's based off of. Eevee are amazing creatures and their drive to evolve is always unique to each. She's more of a morning pokemon than a night so I'm sure it won't be an umbreon... althought looking at Genesis I'm a little saddened that the possibility is ruled out. She just doesn't have the connection with the night most eevee's have before evolving into umbreon. I could imagine her choosing a leafeon or vaporeon, both so playful by nature. It's really hard to tell though; pokemon have a way of surprising people.""<br/><br/>Skye couldn't believe how easily the words were flowing from her mouth; this man came out of nowhere and already she felt so at home with him. As if she would actually miss his insults and offences should he depart.<i>That's just silly, I hardly even know him...</i>yet her thoughts persisted. She pushed the concept from her mind and decided to enjoy her time and conversation with the fierce stranger."

Ren did not like the way that this sounded. He racked his brain, thinking about the pokémon at his disposal in the PC. He wasn’t sure that he had ever caught a decent grass type pokémon. Perhaps a tropius, but he had left them behind for a reason. It wouldn’t be much of a challenge if he won his battles with overpowered pokémon. That wasn’t the point of going on a new journey. At least in his eyes. He pulled out his pokegear, checking a list of all the grass move oriented pokémon he had ever encountered. None of the few that she had mentioned sounded appealing in the slightest. Not to say that the ones she listed off weren’t able, just not his taste. However, after scanning the list for a few moments he had decided.<br/><br/>Another common type around the area (and just about any grassy area for that matter) was oddish. While it wasn’t his favorite, he supposed it would do. Kanto was lacking in the grass types. He hoped it didn’t disappoint in the other departments. “Sure, we can check out the spring. I think I may go after an oddish. I think that it would fit my battle style the best. I’m sure I can find one along the way, they’re quite common.” Meanwhile Genesis seemed to be in a battle of his own. Korra was persistently approaching him with presents, and Ren could tell that the dark pokémon was getting increasingly irritated. “Umbre.” The umbreon would growl every time the eevee would attempt to bring him gifts, before looking in the opposite direction.<br/><br/>It was apparent that the two trainers had very different views on how to train their respective pokémon. It had been made very clear early on that Genesis would be an umbreon or espeon, and the eevee seemed to agree completely that they were the best choices. The fact that she was going to allow hers to<i>choose</i>didn’t say much about her battle tactics, but maybe that was the point. Each person trained their pokémon differently, and who was he to say what was right and wrong. Leafeon would come in handy right about now.. Pushing the thought from his mind, Ren ruffled his hair lazily as Pig swooped by once more. There was something clamped in the bird’s beak this time. For some reason the pidgeotto always wanted to prove that he was an able hunter.<br/><br/>In the distance, Ren could hear the sound of running water.<i>Good, hopefully I can find one of those purple buggers..</i>Another compliment. Skye really was flattering Genesis (and himself by extension). He felt his cheeks heat up again, and hastily thought of something to say. “Too bad, I guess they all can’t be as awesome as my pokémon.” He commented with a quick wink in her direction. Ren really needed to get a hold on his emotions. This needless flirting wouldn’t be helpful in any form or fashion. It would only leave the door open for more painful goodbyes."
17465,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-22 03:42:00,Soulserenity20,"The pair made their way through the lightly wooden trail that had veered off Route 6, Nova Blitz had only shown his fiery self once or twice but Skye had no concern. She had grown up playing on this route with her parents' pokemon and often took her own team out here to train. The pokemon in this area were generally weak and suitable for training younger team members. As the stream neared, she noticed Genesis growing ever more irritated with Korra. ""Come here, you."" She beckoned for the eevee to take its place at her shoulder. Hesitantly, reluctantly, the pokemon obeyed, though it clearly wasn't happy about being taken away from the apple of it's eye.<br/><br/>:""If you keep on bothering Genesis like that you're going to get into trouble, and as much as I've enjoyed getting on Ren's nerves there's no reason his pokemon have to put up with the same treatment."" She smiled, ruffling the brown hair on Korra's head. It was true, she had already, after so little time with him, developed a fondness for his cold attitude and short nerves. One would think such a temperament would be undesirable, but in reality he was a perfect complement to her own upbeat, laid back self. She wouldn't dare admit it, but she liked Ren. Ever since the platinum haired man first showed his face after his pokemon had stopped her back in town she had carried with her a constant urge to know more, to understand him. He was shrouded in veils of defences and had more walls up than she had ever seen in a person, but something about him lured her in. Perhaps it was that glint behind his cold gaze, or the warmth of his body next to hers when he had offered his kindness in doing her the favor of getting rid of Jimmy.<br/><br/>Almost every time she glanced at him since they left the pokemart she had found herself struggling to not let her imagination run wild. She didn't have any experience with men in an intimate sense so she didn't have much to go off, but being so close to him, feeling his body against hers, smelling the faint, masculine aroma of his last applied cologne. His sharp wits and his smooth demeanour was enticing and as they walked through the trails of her memories she felt an odd wave of mixed emotions. For a second she felt like she had known him all her life. But as he spoke, his words snapped her out of her thoughts and back to what presented itself before her.<br/><br/>""Oh, yeah, oddish. Right. No you'll definitely find those around here. In fact they're everywhere, there was a population bloom a few years back. Let's see if we can't find you a strong new friend-"" Just then, Nova leapt out of the woods with incredible speed and stopped right in front of his trainer.<br/><br/>""Canine!"" It said happily, breathing deeply from its run. Skye caught her breath after the surprise and started laughing at the pokemon's enthusiasm. Ever since he was a growlith Nova had found such joy in weaving in and out of the trees. It was from years of self-initiated training that the arcanine's speed and agility was so astounding. Skye had been blessed when she came across Nova as a growlith. He was easy to raise and he had mountains of initiative. ""Why don't you go and have a drink and a rest hmm? We;re looking for wild pokemon and I don't want you scaring them off big guy."" The large hound nodded and turned to make his way to the spring's bank, but not without meeting Ren's gaze with an unblinking stare for a moment.<br/><br/>Skye just shook her head, that was Nova alright. Turning her attention to Ren, she smiled and opened her arms to the woods around them. ""Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go catch some pokemon!"" She found herself lowering her gaze from his piercing eyes, allowing her own eyes to observe him discretely, but as she did, she noticed a small bit of earth had collected on his jacket near the collar, probably from brushing up against a tree or from Pig's visits to his shoulder and arm.. She stepped forward without even thinking, ""You've got something... Here."" She casually went about wiping the bit of filth off, dabbing at a small bit that refused to come off, all the while ensuring she didn't dirty his white jacket. When she was satisfied, she smoothed out the area of his jacket and looked up at him, her hand still pressed against his chest.<br/><br/>A moment later she realized how close to him she was, completely invading his personal space. She withdrew her hand and quickly stepped back, looking down at the ground and trying her hardest not to blush. ""S-sorry. I uh, well it's gone now."" Clearing her throat she rubbed the back of her neck, shyly looking up at him. ""Uh, so, oddish. They uhm, they should be... this way. Or.. somewhere. Let's go."" She set off in a fast walk towards an area nearby filled with bushes and taller grass."

The umbreon was visibly relieved that he was free of being terrorized. At least for the moment. It wouldn’t last long so he seized the chance while it was available. The pokémon took the chance to gaze at the eevee. Ren grinned a little at his partner. Playing hard to get perhaps?<br/><br/>The blonde shot a playful look at Skye. “Just as I enjoy annoying the hell out of you.” He chimed in with a smirk. Since they had left Vermillion city, he had found himself loosening up around her. Ren wasn’t used to this, but he had to admit it felt awful good to be able to relax around another person. It was amazing how alone he had felt, and then she had popped up and filled a void that he hadn’t even known existed. The void that his father had created by leaving him. The trainer had to catch himself to prevent his eyes from welling up. “Thank you.” He muttered, barely loud enough for his traveling companion to hear.<br/><br/>“I know I can be hard to deal with.” He continued after pausing to think for a minute. “There’s a reason, but I would prefer to not talk about it.” As soon as he had felt the heartfelt moment, it was gone just as quickly. Ren gave a sigh of relief as he felt his passive shields slide back into place. This girl was some kind of magician; she knew just the right buttons to press to force his guard down. “I guess not all weaklings are bad.” He said with forced coldness.<i>I have got to be more careful. Anymore slip ups like this, and she’ll think I’m a sissy.</i>Not that he cared what she though, did he?<br/><br/>Uncertainty was alien to the platinum haired trainer. Usually he could look at something and know exactly how he felt about it. With her it was a constant struggle of keeping himself safe, while trying to not force her away. It didn’t help matters when she had complained about a bit of dirt clinging to his shirt. Ren felt his brain go a little fuzzy when her palm touched his chest. A warm feeling crept up into his cheeks and he pointedly stared at a place on the ground. For a moment, he had contemplated touching her hand with his. He had been on the verge of touching her hand with his, when just as suddenly she had retracted it. She sputtered something about finding the oddish.<br/><br/>Finally. Something that he knew for sure. “You’re right.” He agreed with a nod. Ren was amazed that his mind had strayed, but was quite glad that she had jogged his memory. As they approached the spring, he noticed a few of the target pokémon appear in around them. They were currently oblivious that the new arrivals were even there. Not just any oddish would do. He was looking for the strongest of the bunch. It would have to be to join his team. After a while of studying them, he realized that one seemed to be in charge. It was bigger than the rest, clearly the alpha of the horde.<br/><br/>“There.” He mentioned to Skye quietly, pointing at it with a look of decision. “That’s the one that I want. What do you think?” Ren inquired. Since she was so into breeding perhaps she could provide him with a second opinion. ""Since you're the genius and all."" He added with his trademark smirk."
17467,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-26 01:40:00,Soulserenity20,"At the mention of a secret within her new travelling companion's mind, she couldn't help but feel the heat of curiosity well up inside her. However, Skye was raised well enough to know that a person can't be forced or coaxed into opening up, rather they must learn to trust the receiver or their secrets on their own. She would respect his privacy, despite the wonder that coursed through her mind.<br/><br/>""No, not as bad as one might assume. And think about it, without the weak there would be no strong, so you should be grateful,"" again she smiled, but this was a sly grin accompanied by a wink. ""And again, you really have no clue at to whether I'm the weak and you're the strong or the other way around."" She herself didn't know, to be honest. She knew she was a worthy opponent to any that dare challenge her, for she knew her pokemon well and put more into it than battle technique. She played off the individual characteristics of each pokemon to her advantage. As with Nova's natural tendency to speed train, she combined it with powerful move that could be used while in run. Pairing his speed and brutality with a energy restoring Morning Sun and a counter-type Solar Beam, she had found herself with a well rounded, well raised pokemon. Several of her old team members were near equal in comparison but her arcanine had been a special kind of companion from the day she caught him as a growlith.<br/><br/>Korra had never been out on a journey with Skye before. She had received an egg from a kind woman who's pokemon were under her parents' care at the daycare and had raised it to a stronger level with the help of her original team. She had proved to be a dear friend and had long since become Skye's constant companion. After pulling herself away from the vicinity of Ren and relaxing her breathing, the two quickly made their way along the river side, as if to clear the air of an awkward moment. Eventually they reached their destination, confirmed by a horde of oddish skipping around and enjoying the warmth of the season as they went about their day. She stopped at Ren's side to take in each individual before them.<br/><br/>""Hmm,"" she said, deep in thought and observation at his proposal of catching the biggest of the group. Surely it was larger than the rest and burly, but that wasn't always the most important factor. ""The big one would be a good pokemon no doubt, of course judging from its appearance, not its personality. But I don't know... Size isn't always the most important factor for pokemon who use status altering and special attacks more than physical. A oddish of such size may be strong physically but it'd be slower by nature. A quick, nimble, small pokemon would suit its type and its potential moveset."" She paused again, scanning the oddish scattered about the clearing.<br/><br/>""That one, over by the bushes."" She pointed out a smaller oddish with long leaves growing up and out of its head. It was well shaped, well defined, and the brilliance of its leaves led her to believe it had a strong suit in its typing. ""That's the one I'd go for."" All the time she spoke she kept a humble, kind tone; she would never assume it was her place to disagree with others' judgements but she was always willing to speak her mind when asked."
17468,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-26 19:06:00,druple,"<i>...without the weak, there would be no strong..</i><br/><br/>Ren chuckled. “I suppose you’re right. I guess I should be thankful you’re around then.” He replied with a half smile. The trainer was glad that Skye didn’t push the subject of his secrets. At least she knew when he didn’t want her to pry into his personal life. Perhaps she wasn’t as tactless as he had originally thought. In all honesty, Ren was sure that Skye wasn’t near as feeble as he tried to play her off to be. With her knowledge of pokémon, it was obvious that she may be on par with his own skill level.<br/><br/>At his inquiry of what her opinion about the oddish consisted of, she proved his theory further. Her reasoning was that the biggest was not always the best. After further pondering his choices, Ren decided to go with her judgment. If the pokémon wasn’t satisfactory he could always release it back into the wild or catch another one. “I’ll take your word for it. Let’s hope you’re not wrong.” Ren commented light heartedly.<br/><br/>“Genesis, you know what to do.” Normally he would choose Pig for such a fight, but the type advantage would probably damage the oddish far too much. The whistle he used to call the pidgeotto would alert the grass/poison type to their presence anyways. The umbreon knew how to pull his punches enough to keep from knocking the target out.<br/><br/>In response Genesis took a step forward awaiting further commands from his trainer. Ren pondered for a moment. “Target the one with the largest leaves. Hit it with assurance. Try not to hit the oddish with full force, we don’t want to damage it too much.” Ren was sure that Genesis’ level was far above the wild pokémon’s. With a nod, the umbreon initiated the battle. In the blink of an eye he had covered half the distance between him and the foe. With a leap, the dark type pokémon glanced the side of the grass type. That was the weakest attack in his arsenal and toxic would be ineffective considering the typing of the oddish.<br/><br/>The wild pokémon gave a cry of pain, losing its balance and releasing a large amount of stun spores into the air. Genesis sneezed, clearly affected by the defenses that the oddish had put into the area. The umbreon stumbled about, fighting against the paralyzing effects of the spores. Surprisingly, the wild pokémon was struggling against the ailment. The trainer knew that this was due to the synchronize ability of the umbreon inflicted the same status ailment to his foe. Afraid to attack again for fear of knocking it completely unconscious, Ren riffled through his pack for a moment. He produced an empty pokeball.<br/><br/>With a grunt he tossed it in the direction of the enemy. Upon contact, it opened up absorbing the leafy pokémon. The pokeball shook once as the oddish struggled to get out. It shook twice, the movements of the capsule becoming feebler. On the third shake it became still, indicating that he had successfully captured the oddish. Ren turned his attention back to Skye. “I was a bit worried I would kill it.” He voiced truthfully. “Excuse me, I have to attend to Genesis.” The umbreon was struggling against the paralyzation. Ren walked towards his partner, simultaneously removing one of the paralyze heals from his bag. “I’m sorry. I was being brash.” He told the umbreon, spraying the medicine on the trembling body of his pokémon. After a moment the ailment seemed to fade and Genesis shook his body from head to tail. “You feel better buddy?” Ren commented and the umbreon nodded in confirmation.<br/><br/>The blonde retrieved the new addition to his party with a large smile. “I’ll let him rest a bit, and then I’ll tend to him as well.”"
17469,Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18638-soul-dru-1x1-pokemon-when-paths-intertwine,['1x1'],2014-03-29 02:34:00,Soulserenity20,"Seeing the ease at which Ren tackled the capture of the wild pokemon Skye realised she had found quite the travel partner indeed. He was a mystery, there was no doubt about that. He was like a book who's pages would only be revealed with time and with the right mind to read what words are presented. She smiled, appreciating the man before her; most of her life she struggled with connecting with her peers as she found them to be so... simple, so two-dimensional. But Ren, well, he was multidimensional, and his skill with pokemon was something to be desired. She watched as he excused himself and then tended to his partner. There was a different light about him as he spoke to Genesis, she saw a level of calm and comfort she knew would only become apparent around the few in his life he truly trusted: perhaps only Genesis.<br/><br/>As he finished up with his umbreon, he retrieved his new team member, the glossy pokeball reflecting the rays of light that broke through the canopy of the forest. If one looked closely, a faint image of an exhausted oddish would be seen lulling about within, drifting in and our of slumber. The grass type did deserve some rest, more than and before anything else. She appreciated his respect for the pokemon; most trainers are quick to summon a newly captured team member before they've had the chance to recover from their decimated state. They would let excitement consume logic and in the end the pokemon suffers further.<br/><br/>""Gee,"" she said, biting her lip. ""I really hope that oddish turns out to be what I think it will. Otherwise I'll look pretty dumb for recommending it over your choice... heh."" She trailed off into an uncomfortable laugh before clearing her throat. ""I'm surprised you were so quick to trust my opinion, I expected some smart-ass remark and a refusal. You're full of surprises aren't you? So unpredictable."" This, of course, was true. Ren was indeed extremely unpredictable, continuously going from hot to cold, rude to sweet; she assumed a part of the unpredictability could be blamed on the fact that she hardly knew him. Perhaps with time she would begin to understand what made him tick, perhaps she would unravel the mysteries and the secrets hiding behind his cold eyes.<br/><br/>Her thoughts were deep, but soon enough she snapped back to reality as a shrill and all too familiar cry came from a little ways away. Moments later, Korra and Nova came bolting out of the trees, Korra was soaking wet and Nova had a guilty look about him. She was surprised to see the pair in such a questionable state, but further surprised as she didn't even notice Korra wander off in the first place. She stared at the two for a moment before letting out a full laugh that filled the air of the clearing. Her eevee looked like a drowned rattata with all of her fur soaked down and flattened, revealing how small she actually way. The look on Nova's face told her that she had probably fallen in the shallow stream and his dislike of water prevented him from helping her out. The two were always getting into trouble together; best of friends and partners in crime since Nova was a small growlith pup.<br/><br/>When Korra noticed Genesis at Ren's side, she let out a terrified cry and hid within the thick mane of the Arcanine on which she rode. This only made Skye laugh harder, seeing the lovestruck pokemon hide out of embarrassment in front of her crush. When she caught her breath she walked over toward the pair. ""Oh Korra, come here love."" The eevee nodded from within the fiery fur, refusing to come out looking like she did. ""Oh all right then. Hmm, Nova would you mind bringing about a very mild Morning Sun? The heat should dry little Korra off."" The hound nodded with a chuff and closed his eyes in concentration. Through the breaks in the canopy of the woods the gentle rays of sunlight that surrounded Nova began to intensify and form a warm pillar of light above him. The pillar was faint, but beautiful as the pokemon kept the intensity at a minimum. A few moments passed and Korra eventually began to creep out of the pokemon's mane, much drier than she had been before.<br/><br/>""See? You're just fine. Now fix up your fur and that's that."" She tussled the fur on Korra's head and turned back to Ren and Genesis. A grin pulled at her lips as she shook her head. ""I'm sorry, these two can be a little ridiculous. I think we should get going now that you've got yourself a grass type. Saffron isn't far now and I'm sure you're getting annoyed with this weakling slowing you down."" She winked and readjusted the strap of her bag before leading the way back towards the path."

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Age: Twenty-three<br/>Appearance:<br/><img src=""http://puu.sh/7t0HM.jpg""/><br/>Personality: Ren may come across as a know it all at first. He is very passive, and tends to hide his emotions. This generally makes it hard for him to find friends. Due to this he has become some sort of a loner, and typically pushes away from any advances in relationships with other people. Instead he finds solace in his Pokemon. From a battling stand point he could be accused of pushing his Pokemon too hard. When Ren speaks, his voice usually has a sarcastic bite to it. It’s this reason that his enemies far outnumber his friends.<br/><br/>Backstory or Random info: Ren is from Johto and after completing his first journey, decided he would like to see the world. His father was a famous battler, but disappeared unexpectedly. This is partially the reason that Ren is so closed off from getting acquainted with anyone. He feels that if he refuses to let anyone in he won’t get hurt anymore.<br/><br/>Likes: Winning, cooking, sketching, dark type Pokemon, and nature.<br/><br/>Dislikes: Losing, cleaning, people, fighting type Pokemon, and bug type Pokemon.<br/><br/>Current Team:<br/>Umbreon (Male) LVL 50 <br/><img src=""http://puu.sh/7t0B8.jpg""/><br/>Ren’s first Pokemon, and best friend. Has a personality very similar to his trainer.<br/><br/>Ability: Synchronize – if this Pokemon is inflicted with a status effect, it inflicts the target with the same status effect.<br/><br/>Move Set:<br/>Assurance (Dark) – This attack has double power if the target has already suffered damage in the same turn. (Power 50)<br/>Shadow Ball (Ghost) – The user forms a ball of dark energy, and fires it at the target (Power 80)<br/>Protect (Normal) – The user shields itself from damaging attacks, cannot be used consecutively. <br/>Toxic (Poison) – The target is inflicted with a poison that inflicts more damage each turn.<br/><br/>Pidgeotto (Male) LVL 34	<br/><img src=""http://puu.sh/7t0wC.jpg""/><br/>This pokemon was the first that Ren caught in the Johto region, it was a Pidgey when captured. He is very friendly, much to Ren’s disapproval.<br/><br/>Ability: Keen Eye – the accuracy of this Pokemon cannot be lowered.<br/><br/>Move Set:<br/>Aerial Ace (Flying) – This user astounds its foe with speed, and then attacks. (Power 60)<br/>Twister (Dragon) – The user whips up a vicious tornado to tear at the foe. Has a chance to make the target flinch. (Power 40)<br/>Feather Dance (Flying) – The user covers the foe with feathers, lowering the attack stat.<br/>Roost (Flying) – The user lands, and proceeds to rest recovering from damage.

I had been given a suit with a bow tie to wear, black in color with a white under shirt. The tie hung loose, my shirt remained un-tucked and my appearance was an over-all mess. I’d slept about two hours in the past week, having spent too much time sitting in the silence, staring at a floor mat that would never be used again, listening to the steady thrumming of the heartbeat beside me. My spirit had attempted to comfort me in his own way, remaining silent as he followed me unusually close. When I sat, he pressed his side against mine and sat as well. When I moved, he followed at my heel. It was unusual for him, but I understand it; our souls, no matter how twisted and patched up, were the same. We felt the same things, it was only natural for him to feel the same grief I did.<br/><br/>So, while I walked with the other monks and sages, Vajra paced behind me quietly, blue eyes straight ahead as the people around us murmured. I was not a friend to these people as far as they were concerned, despite my efforts to show them as much respect and kindness as possible. “Leon.” I turned toward the voice, stopping in my movement to turn and face the leopard I called Vajra. “Will I be able to come with you?” his voice was quieter than usual, he was making an effort to stay unheard. I turned and resumed my pace without answering. He knew the answer just as I did; he would not be wanted there. Neither would I.<br/><br/>After thirty minutes of walking through the tunnels that connected the temple to the city, we began moving as a small unit through the city, straight through the buildings, following a path that lead to the center; a massive lake glittering with gems and crystals that sat at the bottom. A large bridge stretched the gap between the two shores of rock and glittering black sand. Our footsteps echoed on the dock noisily as we moved toward the large temple directly in the center of the water; the funeral home. There were already several people here, and it was then that I remembered this was not the only funeral being held in this place. There was another man, a friend of my master who had passed around the same time. His funeral would be hosted at the exact same time. “Leon.” I looked up at the sound of my name, this time meeting eyes with the head sage, whose green eyes were reproachful. “Sir.” I replied, my expression calm. “Your… spirit” he used the word grudgingly, “will not be allowed on these grounds. Do away with it before you enter.” With that, they turned and left. I was positive I’d heard murmurs about wishing I had been sent away as well. I turned toward the leopard and crouched, placing a hand on its large forehead. “Why do you want to come in?”<br/><br/>“I wish to say farewell to a man who helped you when you needed it most.” He replied bluntly, catching me off guard. I stood for a long moment, looking into his eyes, flickering with the fire resting within. He returned my gaze. An emotion I couldn’t quite decipher lingered beneath the surface. “Come.” I spoke, turning and walking into the temple with Vajra following. The moment I entered the temple, I received glares and surprised looks; I’d never disobeyed an order before… at least not intentionally. “I thought I told you to leave that outside.” the head sage spat, standing in my path, between me and the immaculate box that contained the only man I’d ever respected beside my father. “That,” I pointed to Vajra. “Is a part of me. That part of me wishes to say goodbye to a man whom he owes his life and his future. Now get out of our way and quit making a scene.” I pushed past him roughly, shoving him aside with my shoulder so that I could reach the mostly empty front row. Typically, there would be family members here, but there didn’t seem to be any the sage’s could fine. The only person was a young woman close to my age, the other man’s apprentice. I’d met her only once, and we’d said very little to each other beside a greeting. I sat down beside her, leaving Vajra in the isle looking around at the eyes that followed him. He looked up at me, catching my eye before he placed one large paw onto my lap. As he leaped upward, his form shifted mid-jump shadowed momentarily by a black haze and the sound of clinking chains before he landed lightly on my lap as a black cat. “I’m sorry.” He whispered, his deep voice no doubt catching the ears of many close by. “It’s fine.” I placed a hand on his back while he curled up, looking over to the girl momentarily before his eyes locked on the coffin.<br/><br/>From there out, we sat quietly, gazing at the box directly in front of us with unchanging and unreadable expressions, despite the turmoil and heartache within. He was my master, yes, but he was also like a second father to me. I loved him like one, and I will mourn him just as I mourned my real father, with silence and tears. The main service ended and we were allowed to bring to them any flowers or parting gifts before they were lowered into the water gently, where they were guided by boats to where they would rest for the rest of eternity. Vajra had lay on my shoulder throughout the cast-off process, and remained there as I moved to exit the building. I found my path blocked by the six sages. “You-“<br/><br/>“are no longer welcome in your temple?” I finished for them. “That’s fine. The only thing keeping me there just floated away in a box. I’ll grab my possessions and leave.” I made to walk past them, but one of them put a hand on my shoulder. “Your things are here.” Vajra tensed on my shoulder. My rapier was shoved into my chest roughly, still inside its black scabbard. It was followed by a bag with my normal clothing. I shook the bag lightly. “My chain?” they exchanged nervous glances, and Vajra jumped from my shoulder, landing in front of them as he started to change. They widened the distance instantly, and the leopard stood, his back turned toward them with the chain in question wrapped around his neck loosely. I took it from his neck and put it around my own, letting it hang like a scarf as Vajra walked past them, clearing the way for me as they avoided him like their life depended on it. “Thank you for your extended hospitality over the last few years. I will not forget it. May your lives be long and prosperous.” I bowed quickly before righting myself and following the leopard out, across the bridge and over to the edge of the rock, where I fell heavily, raking through my hair with my right hand. “What will we do now?” Vajra asked, laying down behind me, leaning his side into my back.<br/><br/>“We’re going to do some research on what he left us, then we’re going to leave.”<br/><br/>“To where?”<br/><br/>“Wherever.”"

Granted she did feel rather terrible the old man had died, Isaac was the only family member Myra thought she had and at first the thought of his existence being no more left her extremely empty and lonely. She felt she had nothing to hold onto this world anymore, these thoughts now came back as she sat near the front gripping tightly to the small white fox that sat in her lap, the only friend she had left. A loud chorus of footsteps began to invade her mind and broke away the train of thought when a group appeared adorned in dark and rather depressing attire. At this point she had remembered Isaac once informed her that often in times people dressed different according to the reason for the gathering. This absolutely made no sense to Myra, when she first heard it from Isaac she had wondered if he meant neglecting to bring their boots or pants but now seeing the similar dress she understood.<br/><br/>Growing up she simply had one set of clothing and possibly extra gear for colder or wetter weather. In fact at this moment she wore long black leather boots with crow feathers stitched into the back and made to stick out, long dark brown pants which had been patched together more than once, a few layers of overly long cotton shirts with a light chain vest hidden underneath, to stay warm a large dusty grey leather cloak which encased her body and made her appear small. On her head a strange hat with what appeared to be a face glowing sat smirking at all times, appearing almost alive. Her white hair was dirtied and appeared slightly matted as it stuck out clearly unkempt.<br/><br/>The thought of being so different than these people caused her to begin withdrawing into her mind. Thoughts of the old man, him teaching her to fire a bow, the first time they managed to create a spell and all the other memories. These were now a chapter in the book of her life that was closed, how could she survive without this old man looking out for her. Isaac was simply more than a caretaker or a teacher, to Myra he was her father and mother, bestfriend and rival. They had done everything together since they had met and that included hunting. A smile cracked her formerly stiff and emotionless face as the service went on around her, she could recall the first time she had gotten her first kill against a gray troll. Although the weakest of all trolls, they still are not a typical monster one would scoff at and even an experienced knight would question going toe-to-toe against one and Myra had been able to quickly make work of it at only the age of ten, mostly thanks to Isaac's teachings.<br/><br/>She looked down and began to feel very out of place wishing for the old man back, tears threatened to fill her eyes when voices being raised next to her caught her ear. A boy who she hadn't noticed before appeared to be arguing with a group of officials of some kind, perplexed by what the problem was she realized the ceremony was ended and she officially had nothing to do now. Where would she go? She didn't know anyone, no one had come to say anything to her and there was an entire world she had out there that she didn't know about. Most of the room had began to clear out, causing Myra to shoot up and quickly head towards the exit when a strange sensation chilled over her body.<br/><br/>For a moment the world seemed to slow down as her head slowly turned towards the boy who was arguing before he was now further off across the courtyard of the building they had attended, a sensation rang through her skull when she felt something calling out to her. Watching him walk off clearly having a destination Myra began to simply follow. The amount of energy pouring off his body passively was immense, she couldn't help but be a moth to the flame. The crowd outside had recognized the girl and began to offer apologies and words of forgiveness but Myra couldn't bother to listen. The energy holding her attention now was too strange to let anything take her attention away, besides these people had never known her so what did they matter? However, as she emerged from the crowd that had swarmed her, the boy's body had been lost and she could no longer see him but instead felt his presence somewhere.<i>Listen Neru, sniff out that spiritual energy.</i>The fox who had up until now remained quietly at the side of her feet now bound forward with its face pressed to the ground walking in a staggered fashion as it followed the scent. The more Neru walked and directed Myra, the more the boy's spiritual presence was noticeable and so they were quickly closing in on where ever he was headed."

The boats were still in the process of leading the coffins out, and I watched them. How am I supposed to do this? “Leon.” Vajra alerted me quietly, standing to face whoever had intruded. I turned my head, spotting the young woman from the funeral home. She seemed almost entranced, staring at me in a way that made me nervous. I stood as Vajra took an aggressive stance. His eyes were narrowed, the blue flames within dancing angrily as he crouched, unmoving but clearly not friendly. “Back.” He relaxed and looped back around to stand behind me, poking his head out underneath my arm, watching her. “Can I help you?”<br/><br/>I recognized her of course, how could I not? Her attire was strange, her hat was creepy looking, grinning at me in a way that made it seem intelligent, like it was truly staring at my soul. Her boots were odd, her hair stood out about as much as mine did. Still, the way she looked at me told me she didn’t mean harm. Her eyes were curious, her posture tense but not threatening. Even the small fox creature that followed her looked curious about me. Then again, I had a chain wrapped around my neck and a leopard glaring at everything that approached me. I wasn’t any more normal. “Hello.” I greeted plainly, watching her expression, my own impassive. “Is there something I can help you with?” I was hoping she’d say no. Every part of me wanted to turn around and watch the boat drift slowly out through the water. I wanted to follow it, watch its descent into earth and lie with it, buried forever just as it would be, but the monks barely tolerated me when they were forced to. Now that they didn’t have to, I was likely to be attacked if I lingered too long. That was something I couldn’t risk… after all, I have a job to do."

The spirit at his side had appeared aggressive but Myra could sense his lack in hostility and noticed him back down a bit as the boy spoke. He had watched her for a bit before speaking<br/><br/><b>""Can I help you?""</b><br/><br/>She stared blankly at him, her expression a mixture of shock and horror realizing she had no idea what to say. They must've stared long enough to make him uncomfortable prompting him to once again speak to her, this time slightly more polite than before<b>""Hello. Is there something I can help you with?""</b>She realized he must've began growing impatient of her and looked towards the ground mumbling<b>""Hello, well.. n-no there's nothing. I'm sorry.""</b>her eyes clearly scanned him up and down before she turned and backed off. Stepping a few feet behind him, she kept her eyes locked and continued trying to understand what was going on with his aura. Randomly, she spoke rather loudly<b>""Yes!""</b>before she realized others were still around and looked surprised they all glanced at her with burning gazes. Creeping closer she said it once more<b>""Ye-yes you can help me with something. I need help.""</b>Her arms crossed behind her back and she smiled before avoiding his eyes and finally settling hers on the ground below her feet, it was clear she lacked basic human communication skills anyone should have. She spoke again before he had a chance to form a full answer<b>""What do I do now?""</b>she stared at him puzzled, wondering if he knew the answer for her purpose."

I paused, my expression perplexed as I gazed at her uneasily. I understood her question suddenly, and frowned, glancing at the fox at her feet. ""Honestly I don't know how to answer that question for myself."" I eyed the surrounding people, staring at her openly. Vajra growled loudly and each of them went about their business hastily. I thanked him with a glance before regarding the girl again. ""Your master was Isaac, right? We met once. Four years ago.. I'm not sure if you remember."" I glanced back at the coffins again. ""I honestly don't know what you should do. I barely know what I'm going to do, other than investigate whatever this is."" I removed a patch from my pocket with a military insignia, an ancient one. One that hadn't been around for at least a hundred years. I stowed it back in my pocket. Part of me said to leave, turn away and be done with her. I had more important things to worry about and much more time I wished to spend alone... but I could practically hear my masters words echo through my head, his tone understanding but stern.<i>'I'm missing something? What am I missing? What did I lose when... when that happened?' I had asked, my throat tight with emotion as he reprimanded me. 'Kindness, Leo. Kindness. That is what you have lost.'</i><br/><br/>""Mast- sorry, Alex... left that to me. It's some kind of military insignia... I think it has something to do with the rumors in Jurguard. He told me I would grow to become a savior, one of his ridiculous prophecies."" He had been proficient in many magics, capable of using just about any spell, mimic anything anybody had to offer, but he was renowned for his ability to see into the future... the distant future. This was one of the few things he had revealed to me before he passed; that I would become a savior in our world's time of need, no longer just a demon. ""You could help me."" I said finally. Something told me this was the right thing to do, the logical path for my life to take and the correct decision. Maybe he hadn't departed this world just yet."

I think I remember it a bit but I'm bad with faces and remembering names.""</b>she frowned a bit and meant to add on but he continued, pulling a strange object with a particularly interesting insignia. She had only a moment to glance at it before he replaced it back into his pocket where it was safe. He continued on about his master causing Myra to feel a longing for her own, looking away from him she recollected herself and ignored the feelings of sadness inside her. A few words stuck in her mind; Jurguard, savior, prophecies which she began to mull over in her mind, she had began to connect a few dots and furrowed her brow clearly deep in thought.<br/><br/><b>""Hmm.. I could help <i>you</i>? How would I do that? And what do you mean prophecies, what are you talking about?""</b>he had told her so much information it felt like the world began to push down on her with reality. Who was this kid with the impressive power and why was he the savior? How was it possible that his master knew, were they all really that powerful? Things were beginning to become more real than she could've wanted,<b>""Listen, these 'prophecies' and being a 'savior' sound utterly ridiculous but hey I never saw a savior who am I to judge? So lets just decide that for now, I'll help you but I wanna hear everything you know and anything I might need to know about.. well a lot.""</b>she smiled sweetly, deciding to neglect the fact she could sense the power radiating off him like a warm stove. There was obviously far more to the boy who stood in front of her than anyone could know and if he was truly a savior he was going to need friends."

I’ve never saved anything, let alone our world. I’m not exactly the heroic type.” I looked down at Vajra with a frown. He stared back, his face impassive and unreadable as it often was. “But there’s obviously something going on… something unnatural. The rumors coming out of Jurguard… there’s got to be a reason they exist, and that city isn’t exactly a safe-haven.” I turned my gaze back to hers. “If my master wanted<i>me</i>to do something, then things are clearly much more dire than they seem. They’ve remained quiet for a long time. There’s been no news of their armies, no news of political standings… nothing. It’s like they’ve gone completely off the grid, and nobody can exactly go check up on them.”<br/><br/>I mulled over the last part of her sentence, pursing my lips as I considered how to explain anything. “I can tell you anything you need to know… but not here. There are too many eavesdroppers.” I turned to look back at the funeral home, on one of the second floors I could see one of the sage’s watching us. He seemed panicked when I caught him and quickly retreated back into the building. “Here, come with-“ I felt it before I actually heard it. That rhythmic shift in my chest, the seeming split in personalities that signaled something very bad had happened. Vajra let out one long, angry growl. I looked down at him, spotting the familiar glint in his eyes. What caused it? “What Is it?” I followed his murderous gaze, out past the water to where the boats were. Wait… four? A scream echoed off the walls from out into the lake as the new boats closed the distance between the little dugouts that belonged to the workers guiding the coffins. I took a closer look at the twin masts, that insignia on the sails… “Jurguard.” I cursed as Vajra’s hair began to stand. “What are they doing?”<br/><br/>“They’re taking the bodies.” Vajra replied, his voice deeper than before, angry but also more gravely. It sounded thousands of years older than he had before. Vajra was not the only one with us now. “I’ll stop them.” He said, shifting his stance to leap out into the water. “No. I need you to alert the council. Those ships probably have fifty or so soldiers?”<br/><br/>“Fifty seven.” He corrected me. “I can feel them all from here.”<br/><br/>“Good.” I turned to Myra with a pained expression. “I hope you can fight.” Vajra turned toward me, his eyes pitch black as the flames that had once danced within floated around his neck. I took the chains from my neck and dropped them onto his back where they wound themselves of their own accord, wrapping around his midsection, down each of his front legs and around his neck. He needed them to move large distances away from me. Without them I was like an anchor or a short leash to him. He couldn't leave. “Back to the temple. Tell Vex.” I ordered. The cat vanished on the spot, and I returned my attention to the boats as they came to a stop beside the dugouts. The city had erupted into chaos, screams ever present as the people on the streets struggled frantically to get back to their homes; to safety. I could feel it bubbling beneath the surface, the rage that I struggled to keep in check. If they succeeded in doing this… I would not be safe here. The city would not be safe. “Can you help me drive them out of the city? This will get complicated if I can't fight them full out.” my voice betrayed me, the anger coming through in my tone as I attempted to control myself for just a moment longer."

Panic and confusion began to set into the crowd causing many to lose their senses. The boy, whom she believed to be named Leon, instead turned into a strong warrior and appeared to prep himself mentally for the upcoming battle. Myra's hand began to sweat, she had fought monsters that would make humans have nightmares but beasts and man were not the same. Men had intelligence, they may do more than simply kill her if they won, they would hurt her and those around her in ways that were more painful than death. These were thoughts she had the remember when fighting, her eyebrows dug together as a stern look came across her face and she fell silent, dropping simply a nod at Leon signalling she was ready.<br/><br/><b>""Neru let's do this!""</b>as she spoke, her words were firm and seemed to force the small fox's power to emerge. Instantly his body was engulfed in a bright yellow energy causing him to triple in size and allowed a third tail to form on top of the two the small fox always had. Strange red markings that circled the eyes and left a small diamond shape on his forehead now expanded across his face and caused similar markings to appear by his paws. The tails each held a similar red ring around them as energy showed. Many others around them had similar thoughts as those who were trained to fight pulled out their weapons, activated preparation spells or spread out in order to alert others.<b>""Come on, lets kick some ass for our master's!""</b><br/><br/>As if by her command, the battle had then erupted with giant ice blasts coming in a volley from the closest ships to the shore where a group of others had gathered. The giant balls of ice magic came raining down on the hard cobble road and the closest buildings, exploding on impact and sending a blast of ice at anyone nearby. Luckily over shooting her position but still catching some unlucky bystanders in their radius. A few buildings had been struck, damaging some of the infrastructure but covering it in ice more than anything. Before anyone could return fire two explosions rang off in the nearby area, clearly signalling the boats weren't the only front they intended to attack from<b>""They had people in the city waiting, but how?""</b>She asked out loud, mostly towards Leon. The cries of fear and anguish could be heard all over as a third explosion tore apart a nearby residence and sent debris raining down on Maya. Her feet began to move towards the site as she saw survivors stumbling out of the remnants, a few women stumbled out coughing and crying.<br/><br/>A group of massive men adorned in gear she had never seen before stood in front of the building, some held large hammers while others hands glowed in strange energy, one in particular had a massive turtle with smoke bellowing from its mouth. It was then obvious these were the men who had blown up the building,<b>""Hey!""</b>she shouted as a garrison of troops engaged the Jurguard attackers. A single man leapt forward, striking a fist out which released a shockwave of energy into the front man who's armor instantly crumbled and left him a smashed heap flying through the air.<br/><br/>Those around him stumbled, while others fell to the ground causing the others to howl in laughter as they also began grabbing the now swarming guards who clearly were under equipped to handle warriors of this level.<b>""Let's give them a lightning shower Neru!""</b>She shouted as her hand shot out and glowed with magical energy, releasing a torrent of lightning from her palm into the two closest men who's bodies stiffened as the energy coursed through them. A third noticed the small female attacker but didn't hesitate to toss his body into the air spinning, sending a massive foot at the girl's head. She quickly ducked, to the surprise of the man who gracefully landed on his feet crouched before releasing a follow up attack consisting of breathing fire from his mouth at her. The fox demon beside her moved his tails in a quick fashion, sending a wave of air into the man and causing the fire to fly back into the allies behind him who fell back in order to avoid being burned. The man himself raised a forearm to block his face, rendering him unable to see the hard wooden staff coming down on top of his bald head. When the staff hit its mark, Maya's arms shook from the force delivered into his skull causing his body to fall unconscious on the ground.<br/><br/>The two who she had temporarily taken out with her lightning attack began to push themselves off the ground and move in a half circle at the girl, fanning out with the rest of their allies realizing her as a true threat. The surviving guards could do nothing but stand behind her in hopes of providing support. Looking at the group, Maya slammed the butt of her staff in the ground and smiled before speaking<b>""Which of you want your skull bashed in next?""</b>the fox beside her delighted at the taunt, causing his tail to flutter with excitement."

He won’t be back for about two minutes, though.” I told her as her fox began to change. Interesting… a Kitsune? My momentary distraction came with a price; several chunks of ice, flung toward the group on the shore that had prepared themselves to fight. Several people were injured and even more ice was coming. “Behind me!” I shouted to the surrounding people. The ones that were capable obeyed my command as explosions rocked the area, signaling the arrival of more people. I didn’t have time to worry about them yet. As a wave of ice flung itself toward us from the center of the lake, I prepared myself by placing my hands together. A spark formed between my palms with a sound like a thunderclap and a torrent of flame rushed up my arms, where I directed it into a wall, scaling it wide enough to catch all of the chunks of ice, reducing them to vapor on impact. I compacted the wall into a ball and forced it out into the lake, where I willed it to expand again and maintain its position. “I can’t keep that up for long, there’s no fuel for it to consume.” I told Myra just before she cast her own attack. Fire and lightning… an interesting combination to say the least.<br/><br/>While she fought that group of soldiers, I centered my attention on three others. “Hey!” I shouted, grabbing their attention as I dashed forward, unsheathing my rapier. The red tint glinted in the moderate light formed by make-shift lamps of glowing gems, and they advanced upon me. One man drew a sword of his own, a long sword, while I began calculating. Iron, approximately thirty five inch blade, probably standard issue. Move quickly, dodge while blocking. The other had a sword of similar size, longer by a couple inches. The final man wielded a massive claymore, though the speed with which he wielded it would present a problem. However, if he was fast he likely wasn’t very strong with it. Swift strikes, counter but don’t block. Dodge often. They were clearly used to fighting as a group. The two with the smaller swords came at me side by side as I stepped forward into action. I blocked a downward thrust from one, letting the blade slide down the length of my own as I twisted out of the way of the next sword. The man with the claymore moved then, swinging his blade in a horizontal sweep aimed at my midsection, that I managed to roll under. This would be difficult without magic. If I use another spell, the wall would vanish and my back would be vulnerable, so would the people in the crowd. If only Vajra were here.<br/><br/>I slammed the hilt of my blade into the space between the first mans armor, forcing him forward in a kneeling position as his partner thrust forward at my head, whistling past my ear as I leaned to my left, then under as he swept toward where I had moved. As he made to recover, I swung my blade upward, catching him under his arm and cutting right through the leather and into his skin. I felt the blade stop as I caught his bone, and withdrew it quickly as he screamed in agony, using the backward momentum to twist away from the claymore’s strike, this time vertical. The blade clanged on the ground as I refocused my attacks on the larger man, who’d recovered almost instantly from his attempt. He swung at my legs, causing me to jump over the steel, landing deftly on one foot as he brought it around for a diagonal swing. I caught it with the flat of my blade just under the hilt and skidded to the right under the force. I’d underestimated him, he had speed and power. Definitely a problem. As he struggled with pushing me, his friend stood, reading his sword to thrust through my back, but I’d been quicker than that. I used the force of the claymore to throw my body downward, landing on my side as the badly timed thrust hit nothing but the space I had occupied before while I rolled out of the way of the next vertical cut of the claymore. “Hold still you little prick!” the larger man shouted.<br/><br/>As I made to stand, I felt the wall behind me collapse, telling me two things; the first, I had no protection from the ice. The second; I could now use magic again. I made distance between myself and the three swordsman, the one still clutching his wounded arm on the ground as I spun my sword in the air, watching the edge blur as it left traces of fire that I sent into my enemies with one sweep of the blade. The small flame flew right into the hulking mans face, doing nothing to him as far as injuries go. It did serve as a distraction, a long enough one for me to close that distance again while he stumbled backward and bury my blade to the hilt in his chest, biting through the metal of his armor with the super heated metal of my sword. I kicked the corpse, bringing my sword out with it as the last man swung his blade at my head. I parried the swing, then thrust the sword into his neck in one swift riposte, effectively ending his life as well. I behedded the final wounded man and looked to see how Myra was doing in her own fight. As she combated the larger man, I ran forward, catching the two lackey’s off guard. With one strike, another block and a final strike the two of them fell as well. My blade shined with a different color of crimson now, and the thought made my stomach lurch. I’d killed men before, but never that easily. I had lived in peace for far too long, doing nothing but training to fight. It had softened me, but with the death of my master... that part of me that didn’t care seemed to have resurfaced. This could be a problem in the future, for now I had more important things to worry about. Another three groups were fast approaching as I moved to stand closer to Myra. I looked at the blood on my blade with disgust and flung it off.<br/><br/>A soft clinking alerted me to the end of my worries for the outcome of this next fight as Vajra materialized beside me from my shadow, the blue flame almost purple now with his new form; a black wolf. Not his true form, but the one he would use when I was preventing his other personality from making an appearance. “They aren’t helping, and they ordered you to protect the city.” He said, his tone disgusted as I placed a hand on his back and the purplish blue flame began to move, hovering around me instead of him. “Vajra, stop the ice.” I told him before turning to face Myra. “After this fight, I’ll need your help driving the boats out. Any kind of magic you can use to move them while I’m on board. You don’t need to destroy them, Vajra will take care of that once they’re out of the lake. Can you do that?”"

One of the man raised his hand and chanted something she didn't hear before it emitted a flash for a moment blinding nearly everyone, with her vision gone Myra stumbled back from what she estimated was going to be a rushing attack. She blinked a few times before the world around her came into view, most of the men lie dead with Leon standing nearby his blade now covered in a sticky mess. With the warriors all taken out she sighed, first day in the world of humans and she's witnessed already so much death and despair, these men had families and now they were dead.<br/><br/>That wasn't a problem she should allow to occupy her mind at the moment instead she looked at Leon and nodded.<b>""That sounds like something I could do, Neru specializes in wind magic just let me get up somewhere high.""</b>she looked to the group behind her, they seemed like they didn't know what to do as the world around them went to shit. Frustrated she looked at them with fury in her eyes before shouting<b>""WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT! You three go secure that bell tower so I have a position to cast from. The rest of you get to a dock and secure boats so we can try to have some naval advantage.""</b>They looked at each other confused who the petite girl in front of them was and if they should obey her before another ear shattering shout came booming from her<b>""GO!""</b>the group was startled enough causing a few to bump into each other comically before they sorted themselves out and split up to do the tasks assigned to them.<br/><br/>Cursing under her breath she turned and gripped the staff with both hands as the three enemies now came in range. A bald man holding a massive double headed axe stood beside a skinnier one wielding a large tower shield in one hand and a club in the other, the third man stood in the back with a massive black beard. She didn't notice it before but a slightly larger than average boar appeared behind him in tow. Myra's eyes darted from the three before she whispered to Leon<b>""I'm gonna charge first, we need to take the big guy out before he casts any spells. Let's get the element of surprise on them.""</b>Without another second of hesitation her feet were moving again and fast. Neru was hot on her heels using her as a diversion, she let the staff slide from her hands a bit gripping the very base and planting her feet to swing. The man with the shield looked ready as he raised it up and absorbed the blow with a thud. The bald one beside him raised the axe to bring it downward on her grunting as he lifted the axe. Neru however managed to plant himself beside Myra and remained unnoticed by the two, the man using the tower shield failed to notice by blocking Myra's staff he completed exposed his chest and left the two in front completely unprotected. Neru's mouth opened to release a torrent of wind just as Myra pulled a hand off the staff and began channeling. The wind caused the two to stumble back and open their guard allowing Myra's spell to explode from the palm of her hand in two directions, connecting with both men's chest. With another thundering clap the two were sent flying back, their bodies landing with a thud and left smoking forcing a smirk on her face. The man with the boar however didn't find it as funny when he raised his foot and sent it straight into Myra's gut launching the frail girl back in a similar fashion.<br/><br/>Her body landed back a few feet on the ground harshly, resulting in her chin smacking the hard rocks and causing her teeth to bite down on her lips. The boar charged Neru but the fox easily weaved to the side before leaping back and landing behind Leon, next to Myra fearing for his partner's life. Myra sat up holding her chin as a bit of blood came trickling from her now swollen lip.<b>""Damnit, kick his ass Leon..""</b>Was all she said as she pushed herself up slowly, holding her midsection from the last shot she took."

As I guarded her back, occasionally cutting through a shard of ice that managed to get past Vajra with my blade, I turned to watch the man with a spirit land a brutal kick, sending her flying backward. I rushed back to where she landed, inspecting her injuries briefly as she righted herself. When she spoke, I smirked, the little dark blue flame that encompassed me flickering before moving toward my face, then finally into my eyes. There was no pain, but the feeling of invasion was intense as I blinked profusely. When I finally opened my eyes again, glowing with the same blue Vajra’s had during the funeral, they were trained on the man, who had begun to move toward us. He removed his own weapon from its position on his back. His blade was black in hue, with a long silver handle. Definitely not standard issue, which meant he was proficient with the Glaive. A polearm… this would be an interesting fight. The massive boar took position in front of him, its eyes a shiny black as I readied my weapon. Vajra appeared beside me as I made to move, startling me. “What are you doing?”<br/><br/>“The ships are distracting them. You need me for this.” He replied, mimicking the boars position as he stood in front of me, his stance hostile. I grabbed a handful of the chain around him, and felt it snake its way up my arm. “No emergence.” I told him as he bared his teeth. We moved simultaneously. Vajra burst forward with blinding speed in front of the boar who replied with a short charge. Vajra jumped up, over the beasts massive tusks as he landed on its back, using it as a springboard to lunge at the mans face, who blocked the attack by leveling his weapon. Vajra bit into the steel while I moved in, slicing once at the boar, who seemed unfazed as I cut barely a centimeter into its thick hide. The blade wasn’t strong enough for this. Vajra landed beside me, and the fight truly began. As Vajra combated the boar, feinting its attacks, biting into its hide gaining more purchase than I had with my blade but still not enough to do any lasting damage, I had started up a deadly dance with the man. I countered every swing, dodged every lunge and parried any other attack. He countered every attack with another attack, predicted every slash or stab and responded with his own attack, using his longer range as an advantage.<br/><br/>Explosions still rocked the landscape, massive chunks of ice were sent into the ships we now had inside the lake, and Vajra was beginning to slow down. I needed to end this… I need to get in closer. As the man thrust forward, I found my opening. One quick parry to block his thrust, and I found the opening I needed as I slammed the flat of my blade into his, sending it back and away from me with a metal clang. “Vajra!” I shouted as I closed the distance between us. The black blur from the corner of my eye caught the glaive before it could reach me, and I made one quick stab, ending this fight in an instant as he fell in a heap, not quite dead yet. “Your armor makes you clunky and slow.” Was all I said before Vajra bit down on his neck, ending his ghasping noises as I turned toward the boar. Its expression was fierce, but I had been prepared for the reckless attempt. Emotion could take hold at any moment and throw you off, make you weak and vulnerable. The boar had just watched the man he had probably grown up with die, outmatched and outclassed. It was enough to send him rampaging toward my sword blindly, where I fainted to the left and thrust again behind its front leg where I knew its lungs would be. It was just like hunting a normal animal. The animal collapsed as I sheathed my blade, and Vajra approached it and ended its struggling the same way he had done its master. I turned away as the wolf stood, his maw dripping now, and ran toward Myra. “Are you okay?”"

She lifted herself up slowly, staggering a bit and looked up at her new ally giving him a quick nod assuring him she was alright. Her back straightened slowly and she was forced to use the staff to bear some weight on her left side, it was possible her rib was broken but she could still breathe so it luckily hadn't pierced her lung.<b>""Look, go find a way out there to stop the boats, we need to crush the invasion force before we push out the invaders on shore. Me and Neru will be able to handle this area of the town I'll make sure to tell any guard to lead citizens to the bell tower.""</b>she looked straight into his eyes before she added firmly,<b>""And don't you dare let those beasts touch our masters..""</b>With that she began to jog off, holding her side a bit as she pushed through the pain.<br/><br/>The bell tower had now seven men standing around it, the three from before must've collected allies and gotten help to secure it. Two enemy soldiers were laying in bloody heaps a few feet away assuring Myra they would protect her. As she came moving up two of the men recognized her and looked to her, expecting more orders. At first she was surprised that these men already looked to her but instead pointed to two guards.<b>""Go in opposite directions and spread the word that the bell tower is safe, citizens should come here to seek refuge until the battle is over. Try to set up fortifications in a block radius so I have a safe zone to cast from.""</b>One of the new guards looked at her puzzled before jabbing a finger in her direction<b>""What makes you a shot caller, huh? You're half my age kid.""</b>The fox beside her growled, making the man's arm drop and take a few steps back. She simply smiled and pushed the two large doors that lead to the base of the tower. Inside was a small room that appeared to be where people would leave coats with a second set of doors, behind those it opened up to a large hall where a court might gather. On the far right side of the room a door with a sign above it labeled 'Bell Tower' sat, which Myra instantly began running to. The guards fell in behind her and began using furniture in the room to build a barricade at the door they could allow people in through but would allow extra defensive purposes.<br/><br/>She began ascending the staircase slowly at first, her injury making it difficult to keep going. After two flights she began exhausted and had to find another way up,<i>I have magic duh..</i>she thought as she inhaled, leaning over the railing and facing straight down. With her exhale the girl's body went up into the air and managed to maneuver between the ascending stairs before she ran out of breath. She reached a nice height before she grabbed onto the railing and took another breath, with this next exhale she managed to toss herself straight to the top floor and could now see much further. There were more boats on the water than she originally thought, along with a huge horde of men landing on a dock opposite of her. Up at the top of the bell tower there was no railings, instead four simple stone pillars sat in each corner and held a small roof up which allowed the massive bell to dangle from. Neru stood on the edge with her as the pair began to combine their magical and spiritual energies, combining this into more powerful magical attacks.<br/><br/>She thought for a second and then smiled,<b>""Alright buddy, we're gonna do the old tempest routine.""</b>She closed her eyes and raised both hands as electrical energy flowed from her hands, similarly the small fox began to wave its tails in a strange fashion as if fanning something behind him. The air above the bell tower began to swirl as the lightning emitted from her hands was collected into this effectively forming a black storm cloud which began to drift. This cloud spread out more as it closed in above the boats and began to churn the water rather hard. Some of the lightning began to expel itself down on the boats, while a few exploded in a flurry of flaming wood others simply began to ignite as the sails burned turning it effectively into a candle. People began panicking as they dove off the boats already engulfed in the flames, the military protecting Omnia now had a chance to set up their mages to return fire on the constant barraging ice which obviously now had been reduced to nothing. On board some mages began to cast spells trying to dowse the flames and snuff the storm above but with the returning fire of Omnia's militant mages they could do little but be overwhelmed. That was until the flagship of the fleet began pushing itself to the front, a group on board began chanting as they built up magic between each other and released a pillar of black smoke which shot into Myra's storm cloud and evaporated it completely. Without her spell, the enemy began to rejuvenate its forces and engaged in a fire fight with the mages on the shore. Myra dropped to her knees heaving, the last spell took so much out of her she would need a bit to recover before she could try to help out again."

Had this been any other day, I would have made a more concious effort to get her to the tower... but this was no any other day. ""I got it. They won't lay a finger on them."" I told her. As she left, the flames began to dance around my head again before moving back to their owner, who had moved to stand by my side. I nodded to him, and that familiar black haze enveloped him, billowing out around him like shadows come to life while they expanded. When they disappeared, a tall black horse looking creature stood in its place. Its spine was raised, the skin around it pulled tight giving it a skeletal look as the rib bones popped out, exposed and pure white. It knelt for me to climb on, and the instant I had my arms wrapped around its neck, it was off in a massive burst of speed. This was easily Vajra's fastest form; he could do many things, run at tremendous speeds while maintaining perfect control, run over harsh terrain with ease... even run on water to a certain extent. The moment hoof met with liquid, I released my tight hold. We were making a b-line for the lead ship, and I would need to be prepared for what came next. ""Vajra, steady."" I called to the horse as he weaved around the ice they had begun throwing at us, completely distracted by the appearance of this new enemy. The ships that had been combatting them before my arrival began to retreat now, which was probably a good thing.<br/><br/>Vajra managed to keep a steady pace while I began channeling. If the skeletal horse wasn't enough to strike fear into any of my opponents on that ship, then the flames billowing down my body would be. ""I'm losing my footing."" Vajra warned, his voice deeper than before, more demonic sounding than it had been. We weren't even half way there yet. ""If you let me-""<br/><br/>""No."" I cut him off before he even voiced his suggestion. I knew what it was, and I would not allow it... not yet. ""Throw me."" I suggested. the instant I suggested it, I felt him falter, then leap, throwing me off his back directly toward the ship like a missile, but he under-shot it. Instead of landing on the deck I was flying into the side of the ship. I intensified the fire surrounding me and raised my arms to cover my head just before I impacted with the wood, smashing through it and nearly through the other side. The fire surrounding me impacted just before exploding outward, razing everything underneath the deck, charring everything and completely destroying the goods they had stowed here. I stood shakily as soldiers began to run down the stairs, and I briefly wondered what Vajra had done after he threw me. My question was answered as a resounding crash sounded behind me. The wolf stood and trotted to my side, baring his teeth at the enemy. ""They have a spirit."" he spoke as flames began to collect at my feet. ""What is it?"" the men charged and I sent the fire outward with enough force to slam them into the far wall. ""A gigantic squid."" I paused, staring at him for a moment. I heard the ship begin to shudder and shake as I slashed through the soldiers with ease. These naval units clearly were not trained in hand to hand, they fell like flies, it was too easy.<br/><br/>We moved the the deck above, and I was greeted by two massive appendages, one gripping the mast and the other raising upward. ""It's going to strike."" Vajra warned as the soldiers around me ran, paying me no mind as they dived into the water where it was presumably safer for them than this doomed ship. ""What are you going to do?"" the massive arm began its sweeping motion downward, and I let out a sigh. The barrier I kept up crumbled in an instant as I met eyes with the wolf, the blue flames dancing in his eyes as I spoke; ""Kludde.""<br/><br/>The instant the name left my mouth, the change had begun. The blue flame tinted, returning to the purple it had been before, then finally to a deep burgundy as the massive arm slammed down into the wood, just beside us. I felt a lifting sensation in my chest, then everything went black.<br/><br/>[From this point forward I'm using third person POV.]<br/><br/>Chunks of wood flung themselves into the air, the mast snapped in half and the deck had been reduced to nothing but rubble as the pair stood in silence. The light in Leon's eyes had vanished for a moment as Kludde's form became apparent. There was no black mist, now shroud or cover to disguise the metamorphasis that took place, only the deep cracking and snapping of bones and rattling of chains as the dark wolf began to change, the flesh bubbling outward as its form expanded. All was silent for a long second before a deep rumbling howl echo'd out from the wreckage that was the ship throughout the entire city. The entire place shook with the intensity as chunks of rock fell from the roof, plunking into the water as the demon Kludde emerged. The blue flame was gone, only the red remained in the gigantic form of this abomination. It stood on its hind legs, its head thrown back as it howled. The sound stopped abruptly then, and the creature seemed to have disappeared, shimmering into nothingness as Leon stood, not unchanged himself.<br/><br/>The brown in his eyes was gone now and the orange had resurfaced, no longer dimmed by the bright blue of Vajra's flame. The irises practically glowed as the fire surfaced again, seemingly seeping out of the ground. He ran then, toward the back end of the ship where the others still floated. The soldiers on board had stopped fighting for the briefest of moments to watch as he launched himself off the railing, his body flying out over the water before landing on one of the other ships. The flames trailed after him like a protective cloak, landing with him as the soldiers snapped out of their trance and moved in to attack, only to be thrown back by the flames that intensified and spread across the wooden deck. The ship began to burn while Leon removed his weapon from its holster and began to fight.<br/><br/>Enemies fell easily and quickly, their blades seeming to move right past him as he dodged, weaved and sliced through the ranks. The first ship had barely anybody on board, but this one was different. It was crawling with soldiers, each of whom came at him, surrounding him, trying to gain some form of advantage only to be ran through, sliced, beheaded or otherwise disposed of as the ship began to burn brighter. ""WHERE IS HE?!"" Leon shouted as the soldiers began to back off, clearly outmatched. The rage the young man exuded was almost as tangible as the flames, and four times as intense as he advanced slowly now. ""Where is your commander?""<br/><br/>""Well aren't you quite the interesting subject."" One of the tentacles had returned, carrying with it a man, who stood easily atop them with a smirk on his face. ""I suppose this is why they call you 'demon', is it not?""<br/><br/>""You suppose correctly."" Leon answered as the man was set down. ""And where did your dog go?"" he asked, looking around them for the beast. ""Run away with his tail tucked? Did he know how hopeless this fight will be for you?"" he taunted as he unsheathed his own weapon, a short sword it would seem, but its appearance was much different. The blade was separated into different sections, and the moment he unsheathed it, it fell to the floor like a whip. ""You like? It's a blade whip."" he swung the weapon, straightening it out as it compacted, coming together like a standard sword. ""But really, where is your mutt?"" he asked again as Leon readied his own weapon. ""Behind you."" he replied. The air shimmered, and the wolf reappeared, smaller this time but its form no less intimidating. The soldiers began to run, and Kludde stood, rocking back and forth, swaying side to side as the sound of clinking chains greeted their ears along with the quiet, steady chanting of its name. The commander leaped away, making a sizable distance between himself and Kludde. ""Very interesting."" he said, his voice almost gleeful."
17582,Worlds End - Wonder and Vale,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18673-worlds-end-wonder-and-vale,['1x1'],2014-03-23 07:53:00,Wonder,"As she stared at the wooden boards below her feet, trying to catch her breath she forgot what was really going on around her. Everything seemed to become distant and time drifted off slowly. She was confused when a sound began pulling her, causing her to drag her head slowly up at Neru who howled and barked to get her attention. Then reality began to sink back in, she was exhausted but it was no time to pass out. Lifting herself up she scanned the horizon and realized she had been out of comission for sometime, the enemy had now pushed closer to the bell tower and the water appeared to be dominated by some massive creature wreaking havoc. The city was clearly beginning to lose control of the fight.<br/><br/>Reaching into a small satchel which sat under her most outer robes she pulled out a small vial of thick green liquid. She placed the stopper to her mouth and bit down, yanking it out and allowing the green juice to seep into her mouth. Swallowing the bitter and sour goo, she coughed and began to feel her body wake up this would only wake her up and numb her pains temporarily. Taking in a deep breath she stood up and pointed at the large wall of guards attempting to hold back a force of enemy troops. She raised both hands to her chest and forced a small ball of lightning which exploded with a crack and flung towards the group expanding into a lightning bolt as it did so. One man was struck straight in the chest, exploding the metal helmet from his head and launching his body back. Two more cracks as more lightning bolts were fired from the ball she had formed and another two flung to the ground either unconscious or worse. Realizing they were under fire some men began to back up behind a building to take cover from the blasts. Instead Myra gripping the ball of energy she had been using as a channel to release the volley and threw it liken to a grenade into the blind spot behind the building. A massive crackle of electricity could be heard as bodies were flung in all directions, few stood back up smoldering to trot away only to be charged by the guards and finished off.<b>""Neru go sco-""</b>then the world around her became a blinding mixture of white and red, before she knew it she was tumbling and the world spun around her. Then nothing.<br/><br/>Blinking her eyes open, the potion still keeping her vitality up as she laid on the ground. Her head throbbed, causing Myra to place her hands on it trying to soothe the agony only to find something sticky covering her left hand. Upon investigation it was blood this realization made her look up at the tower which now smoldered, she must've been hit by someone she didn't see and was tossed from the tower. Standing up on shaky knees, three guards ran up and surrounded her shouting to one around, one placed her arm around his neck and she felt herself be lifted up without any struggle. She realized now that the enemy was close, ahead of her they were slaughtering anyone in armor and some citizens who tried to escape from the burning bell tower. Myra had failed in protecting this town's citizens as her vision began to blur something called out in her head<i>What are you doing lady, let me go.</i>She smiled and nodded mumbling lightly<b>""Go on Neru..""</b>The guard supporting her shot his eyes on her and shouted<b>""Huh? Hey? Are you alive what did you say?""</b>his only answer was a howling which came from the small fox who appeared on top of the burning structure. A torrent of wind surrounded his body as yet another tail sprouted from him, the markings on his paws and face now extended and connected around his chest, localizing on his heart. The now massive fox, similar in size to a goat exploded with energy as the wind expelled from him snuffing out the burning building and sending every single person on the ground. As soon as it hit Myra however, her and the three guards appeared unaffected and instead she was now healed with the blood still soaking her hair and covering the slight smirk decorated on her face.<br/><br/>Her feet tapped the ground as she placed her hand up, allowing the staff which had somehow survived the explosion to fly from a formerly unknown location and slam into her palm. As she began to walk forward, people sprung to their feet and ran behind her while the guards picked up what was left of themselves and formed a wall of shields to her left, in front of the bell tower. The enemy troops had stepped back a bit, grouping together as well with this new threat appearing. As Myra came to a stop she opened her mouth and spat<b>""Now who was the bastard that shot me with my back turned.""</b>The grey cloak she had come to town with was now nothing more than a smoldering tattered rag hanging loosely around her body with the hat still fixed on her head. It smiled and opened its mouth to speak for the first time as this girl walked closer to this group of men, its voice was deep and appeared to echo as it spoke<b>""You've all just unlocked Myra's highest level of power currently, we like to consider it her 'Released' state. Completely rejuvenated and refreshed for a fight, better hope you have someone with magic.""</b>the men shot glances across one another confused before a man stepped out covered with a long polar bear skin, the head affixed like a hood.<b>""I did miss, is there something you'd like to say to me?""</b>He was clearly a powerful magic user, but he never fought someone of her ability before.<br/><br/><b>""Come on men, lets take your town back.""</b>She shoved her staff threateningly pointed at the group in front of her and the guards broke into a sprint, making a final charge. As they shouted and screamed to pump themselves up the sound could be heard from all over the city mainly a nearby squad of Omnia's actual military force who appeared on rooftops above, only twelve in number but a Battlemage was no one you wanted to face in battle. As the guards clashed with the much larger enemy, the battle mages from above leapt down onto them and entered the bloody frenzy. Blades made of pure energy slashed like paper through armor while fire spells ignited others. The guards did their best, over coming enemies in sheer force pushing towards the man with the polar bear skin who simply laughed as he backed away from the fight and began to run. Myra felt something inside her tighten as she realized, he was going to get reinforcements."

He knew its source, and he knew who had been standing atop the tower but in this state, he had a stronger connection with Kludde, who could sense her vitals from even this distance. She was alive, but barely. This was enough for him to disregard her for the moment; he had more important things to worry about. ""Prepare yourself."" he warned the man, the flames that had rested at his feet climbed up his legs and then around his upper torso. Kludde became a blur of movement as yet another massive tentacle slammed down on top of Leon. However, Kludde had sensed the attack, so he had sensed it as well. One swing of his rapier lobbed the tip of the appendage off with ease, sending it falling to the floor where it began to writhe as the waters shook with a deep roar from its depths. He'd succeded in angering the beast, it would seem. However taking it out would not be so easy; there were plenty other tentacles to fight with, and the one he'd managed to dispatch was regrowing itself as he stood, observing it. ""Neat trick. Do you have any?"" Leon taunted the man, who replied with a laugh. ""Boy, you have no idea.""<br/><br/>With the sound of a whip crack, the sword broke apart into segments, doubling in length as a rather large wave slammed into the side of the boat, drenching the deck and quelling the flames that had begun to consume it. Leon's cloak remained untouched, the water that assaulted it had evaporated on contact. The strange part was in the waters actions after this. It began to crawl, bundling up like a snake as it wriggled its way in thick ropes toward the man who wore a smirk. ""I'm a professional fire fighter, kid. They don't call me a God of the sea for nothin'.""<br/><br/>""I assume they don't call you that for your excessive need to run your mouth, either. Quit talking and fight, coward."" Leon spat, brandishing his blade. ""As you wish."" the deck exploded as the current took over, grinding the charred bits of wood into nothingness as a writhing mass of tentacles emerged, slamming into the thing from all sides. Leon had barely managed to deflect the tentacles assault when the mans blade flung itself forward, slamming into his gut with enough force to send him careening backward over the water and into the arms of Kludde, who had reappeared again to catch him. The cloak of fire was gone, and Leon was gasping for air as Kludde adjusted his position to mount his back like a horse. ""Do not falter now, Leon Argent. I am not ready to perish yet."" the demon spoke, his voice lower than a whisper and as soft as a gust of wind through a graveyard. ""Shut up."" Leon managed as he collected himself, controlling his breathing as he watched the ship sink. ""Where did he go?"" he asked, scanning the waters for the man. Kludde pointed one clawed finger toward the wreckage as it was tossed and rolled in the hectic motion the water had adopted from the blast.<br/><br/>The instant Leon laid eyes on his position, the water stilled after one last ripple, and there he stood. On the water. ""My name is Valdas, kid. Pleased to make your acquaintance."" he smirked, swinging his sword outward to compact it again. ""I need a place to fight him. He wont leave the water, that much is clear. His spirit lingers there and he seems to have an uncanny control of the water itself, he wont give up that advantage."" Leon told Kludde, who only chuckled in response. ""Get me to that pillar."" Leon motioned toward one of the spires that supported the mass of rock over head. It was smaller thann the rest, and showed signs of structural problems. Chunks of the rock were missing, the builder mages had been keeping an eye on it for a while now. They had been discussing tearing it down. He planned to accelerate that process.<br/><br/>Kludde moved like a bolt of lightning, throwing Leon from his back just before disappearing from sight again, chains clinking. Leon tightened his focus, zeroing in on the bottom of the pillar, the most insecure part of it. A quick five word chant later, and his plan became apparent to Valdas, who simply watched amusedly as the red streak flew through the air toward the rock. Had the beast betrayed its master? No, he had a plan. Fire erupted from the water in the shape of a ring around the pillar and cinched itself around the rock, melting through it as the young man slammed feet first into the rock. Valdas had failed to notice the identical ring at the top. The mass moved impossibly fast, jutting out from its position and he gave an impressed whistle as it slid into the water, sending waves rolling out along the surface. He ghosted across the water, sliding along the surface which became smooth as glass as he approached the broken pillar, stepping onto the perfectly smooth platform where Leon was crouched, panting heavily. ""I must say, you're much stronger than I originally pegged you to be. It wont matter though. I'll drown you, then I'll drown your pet. You can be a light snack for my partner""<br/><br/>""Speaking of your partner..."" Leon smirked. Kludde had reappeared, but this time he had company; a huge shard of the pillar he'd just help destroy was held in his hands. ""How does he feel about harpoons?"""
17584,Worlds End - Wonder and Vale,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18673-worlds-end-wonder-and-vale,['1x1'],2014-03-27 14:40:00,Wonder,"The fight had managed to die down and now the majority of military men collected around the splinters of the bell tower's remains. Most of the citizens had returned to hiding within the base of it which had managed to avoid being completely destroyed as the military continued to work on barricading the area. It was well over fifteen minutes that the enemy had escaped and the Omnia military was prepping for their final counter attack working quickly to form any form of defense they could managed. Myra herself was perfectly conditioned and ready for battle but she noticed most men around her were half wounded, sweaty and overworked. They would never survive another assault from the enemy. They needed help and she knew where she would get it, grabbing a nearby man by the front of his chest plate and bringing his face close to hers she shouted again which she realized was the only way these military men would respond to anything<b>""Listen we need to tap into the citizen's strength we simply don't have enough power. So this is the plan..""</b>she began to explain how to position the citizens to help repel the attack before ordering the man to set it up. He was off quickly in an attempt to finish these last minute preparations when the sound of angry men could be heard. A man on one of the higher rooftops blew a loud whistle alerting everyone the enemy was closing in, he held up five fingers twice signalling they have about ten minutes. Myra cursed under her breath and took off to help with the last minute preparations.<br/><br/>By the time the enemy arrived, they stood at the end of a long row of homes connected to one another. This street would force both the enemy and the Omnia military to have one way out which most likely would end up in one side being brutally slaughtered as they retreat. One of the captains of the military stood beside Myra who gripped her staff white knuckled as the silence fell over everyone. The enemy Jurguard warriors bellowed out a shout and begin to charge in their arrogance, causing a slight smirk to go across her face. Halfway down the road she raised her staff and tapped it once on the ground causing sparks to emit across the staff, a signal. Instantly all the windows on either side of the road burst open as citizens began throwing objects at the enemy who slowed their charge to avoid being pelted. The majority of objects were simple rocks and chunks of debris while others were tossing spears or knives into them. The main objective however was to mask the small clay jars holding oils which were included in this. The enemy huddled together as men with shields attempted to block the debris, eventually coming to a stop as the citizens seemed to dwindle out of things to toss. The Jurguard warriors began howling in laughter as they looked at one another stained in juices, small cuts and unknown to them oil. A man stepped forward featuring a strange headdress with horns adorning it and spoke with a deep voice<b>""Is this your last attempt she-witch? A ragtag group of women and children throwing trash and a quarter of the surviving military? Wouldn't you rather just surrender yourself over to us and enjoy yourself with pleasures as we slaughter this town.""</b>Myra simply looked the man up and down with disgust before muttering<b>""Screw you.""</b>she raised her staff causing a man behind her to pull his bow back and fire, utilizing a form of magic to ignite the arrow as it left his bow. The faces on every warrior began to turn white as the arrow neared and struck the ground, instantly igniting the whole area and more than half the men who screeched in horror as their flesh melted unable to remove the oils that soaked them before.<br/><br/>With that Myra muttered a few phrases and channeled air to localize in her palm before she began to charge. As the rest of the military fell in behind her she released the compacted air from her hand which fanned the flames and caused the horrific screams to intensify. Very few of the enemy warriors still stood to put up a fight as the wall of fire behind them burned their allies. They were caught between the tips of the Omnia military's weapons and the massive flames which threatened to consume them, it was less of a battle and simply a massacre as every single soldier was torn apart at the end of swords and spears. Myra sat down at the edge of the road breathing heavily as the last of the enemy was finally put down with the fires still smoldering some corpse. She pushed herself up and walked over to the captain who had helped lead the men,<b>""You got it from here right? The city is clear?""</b>he nodded trying to seem as aloof as possible while still maintaining respect for the girl who had single-handedly defended his home. Myra figured the man remained silent from the embarrassment of not being able to lead his men on a level with this girl causing her to roll her eyes and begin walking off towards the water, where Leon still fought.<br/><br/>From here on the edge of the waters she could see the faint figures moving about as they fought, upon seeing the massive tentacles lashing at Leon she began to feel something in her throat tighten. The man he was fighting appeared to be some powerful warrior who had just as many abilities as Leon and more years to perfect them. The fight between them was clearly intense and as much as Myra wanted to help she realized she was completely wiped of energy, the little fox beside her who had been forced out of the last fight from lack of energy yawned as the city burned around the pair. It was within all this chaotic moment, where the buildings in the distance burned and the smell of blood filled the air she realized what she had been raised for. Isaac had kept her hidden from all this to keep her from forming opinions and to make her a good person, he taught her everything she needed and left her the tools to learn everything else. He raised her to help this world get back on track, but how could he expect her to do this? Tears began welling up in her eyes causing her to feel quite selfish, Leon was out there risking his life for everyone and she was too weak to help. Within seconds she was sobbing, but couldn't figure out why. Possibly for her master, or for how life turned out to be, it could even be the fear of being alone yet again if Leon loses, whatever it was the world clearly was too unforgiving to give her any form of comfort."

As Leon fought with all he had on the ground, Kludde sprinted about through the air, slashing and biting with an intense ferocity, but to no avail. It was like cutting off a hydra head, once you slice off a tentacle two more emerge from the water to assault while the first completely regenerates. The beast was massive, and Kludde was barely keeping ahead of it using his superior speed. Leon, on the other hand, was losing and losing fast. He was bleeding from a gash on his cheek, his shirt was tattered, his arms adorned with cuts and nicks. He was running out of energy by this point, but Valdas seemed to have endless ammounts. Leon had learned quickly that cutting him would do little to nothing; all he had to do was manipulate the water onto the platform, touch it, and he would be healed. He drew power from the massive beast while Leon drew power from Kludde and his own anger, which had quelled early into the fight. This was not a fight he could win, and he knew it. At this point he was struggling to stay alive under the onslaught of attacks, dodging, ducking and rolling all while his opponent seemed like he would never falter. The sword could separate to attack from behind, merge to block attacks or perform thrusts and become slack to act like a deadly whip. There was no winning.<br/><br/>They had reached a lull now. Leon was on one end of the platform, gasping for breath while Valdas breathed easy, his sword stabbed into the ground while he cracked his fingers. ""Where's all that fire you had in your eyes? That anger, that drive you had."" he grabbed for his sword, and swung just in time to catch the edge of Leon's blade. ""Where's your spirit?!"" he shouted, slashing again. Leon barely managed to deflect this one. His left eye was shut to prevent blood from seeping in from the cut on his forehead he hadn't noticed before, his hands were numb, his legs were shaky and his breath could not come quick enough. Kludde had stopped listening to his commands and was currently fighting with reckless abandon somewhere close by. He deflected another slash as Valdas laughed. ""Tell me. How does it feel? Knowing your death is so close at hand, little soldier?"" he made to thrust, catching Leon's shoulder as he failed to parry. His limbs were beginning to freeze up now. He couldn't help but think to himself... is this really the end? Is this all I could amount to? Will I become a bloody stain in the background of this horrible day? ""No words, huh?"" he slashed out again with a power he hadn't used before, slamming into the edge of Leon's rapier with enough force to throw it from his hands. It made a small splash as it fell into the water, and Leon fell to his knees, unable to hold himself up any longer. ""Oh, I'm not done with you yet."" Valdas sneered, planting his boot in Leon's chest, kicking him to the ground roughly.<br/><br/>He squinted his eyes, fire flickering underneath him only to disappear as a wave crashed onto the platform. ""No more fire. No more sword. Your partner doesn't listen to you, it's too caught up in its own insanity to take orders from a useless kid."" Valdas stamped again, directly into his ribs causing him to cry out in pain. ""Your death will be the first in a long line, kid. Jurguards occupation of this worthless hole will be swift, and every man woman and child will die just as you will. By my blade."" he spat, swinging his sword in a wide arc, slashing viciously into Leon's chest. ""Goodbye, little hero."" he said softly as Leon yelled out in agony. He jammed the tip of the blade into Leon's chest, between his ribs, silencing his cries as the pain overwhelmed him. The world dimmed, light faded and the incessant chanting began to increase in tempo in the back of his head. Louder, faster, deeper in tone. He'd failed. His master had asked one thing of him; never lose control. Never let him control you. He'd failed.<br/><br/>An explosion rocked the earth below them. The roof of the chamber shook violently, sending chunks of rock crashing into the water as a massive column of flame shot up from the floor of the platform. Valdas had retreated to the water, but even he could not stand upon its surface as the massive wave rolled over him, caused by the impact of the shockwave from the explosion. The flame began to die down, and Leon was standing again. Head down, shoulders slumped, and arms limp, seemingly suspended in air by the massive black form that was Kludde. His eyes glowed a bloody red, the flames within dancing wildly as he laughed quietly, his voice deep and rumbling. The chanting had returned. It muttered his own name repeatedly in a steady rhythm as its body rocked to and fro. His body had changed. His spine was exposed, pure white in color between the leathery black wings that sprouted almost unnaturally from his back. His teeth, long and sharp, canines large enough to pierce through stone and twice as powerful. He seemed to emit a kind of shadow like aura that billowed unnaturally from around him, much like the mist he turned into when shifting his shape. There was no shape shifting now, only this single disgusting and terrifying form.<br/><br/>The tentacles had returned, even more than before as the water shifted to make way for the massive body of the creature, its maw gaping, a deep rattling sound echoing out as the teeth, sharp as needles began to move as its mouth opened, displaying layer upon layer. Valdas had somehow made his way to stand atop the creature, his sword at his side as he laughed. ""You do not frighten me demon!"" He shouted, brandishing his weapon. ""I am not afraid of the big bad wolf!""<br/><br/>""You should be."" Leon's voice was a whisper, but it seemed to carry itself toward Valdas. It was quiet, emotionless and dead sounding. Kludde was a blur of movement, as he burst forward, slamming into the massive squid, his hands thrust directly into its mouth, pressed to the side as he pulled, the rows of teeth stabbing through the flesh but causing seemingly no harm as he began to push. Leon was there just as quickly, and just as suddenly, standing straight as a whip of fire formed in his hand. ""I could tear your beast in half."" he said, leveling his eyes with the man. ""And what happened to the little soldier I nearly killed, huh? Where's that anger, that spark of hatred in your eyes? I see nothing in those dead eyes anymore."" Valdas smirked, holding his weapon ready as Leon's head tilted ever so slightly. ""There is no Leon. Only Kludde. Kludde. Kludde."" with every chant of the name, Leon swung the whip of fire. Valdas' attempts to block were useless as the whip passed through the blade, striking his chest and cutting through the armor. Again and again he swung until finally Valdas jumped away, into the water. He slid beneath the surface as the sea monster did the same, disappearing under the water, leaving Kludde in the air, his wings beating heavily as he tossed his head back, letting out a scream of rage as Leon's body fell into the water, floating on the surface seemingly abandoned of the force that had moved him before.<br/><br/>The rampage started then. Kludde was again a blur, disappearing from the lake and reappearing in the center of the city, atop one of the largest houses, which had nearly collapsed under his weight. It was instead turned to rubble as Kludde slammed a fist into the structure, then on to the next, clearing out fifteen houses in seconds before he moved on, destroying structures, slaughtering people by the dozens as they attempted to run in vain. Soldiers fell, bodies flew, blood spattered the ground and the remains of the buildings as that scream of rage echo'd completely. Valdas had gone, his spirit with him. Kludde's attention shifted then to the new presence, the stronger one that had shown itself to him eariler. The witch and her fox. He zeroed in on their location, intent on extinguishing that light as well as he advanced slowly, the enraged roar merely a growl as he stalked forward while Leon was left floating face down in the water, unnaturally still as his worst fears confirmed themselves while he drifted inside the void of unconsciousness. In a way, he could feel what was happening. After all, a part of him was inside of Kludde, was it not? Just as part of Kludde was within him. It was not simply the demon destroying the city. It was him. He was slaughtering innocent people, destroying the city he had come to love. This was his fault. All his fault. The blackness of the void evaporated under the blinding white that had appeared from nowhere, lifting his body again with a different presence. A presence he had forgotten, a part of him that had long since vanished.<br/><br/>Kludde ceased its movements as the presence became known to him just as he had reached the young woman when a blinding light lit up the lake with a form he'd never thought he'd see again. ""Vajra."" he sighed as the dark mist around him began to consume him, transforming him against his will as the demons conciousnes faded. Leaving behind the form of a baby leopard. Leon's body had moved again, walking along the water just as Valdas had, all the way over to the shore where Kludde lay. Behind him trailed a snow leopard, whom approached Myra as Leon's body walked to Kludde, where he knelt as consciousness once again left him. The pure, undiluted spirit that was Vajra stared into the young woman's eyes, its own piercing blue ones impassive before he spoke. ""I’m very sorry about all of this, but we need to leave this place before they wake up. Please follow me.” He said, his voice deep and oddly calming despite the carnage around them. The chain covering Kludde had somehow entwined itself around the new spirit’s body, and as he moved, the two that remained unconscious began to trail after him, drifting above the ground. “Outside the main gate is a pathway that will lead us to a forest. Its terrain is mostly flat, there is plenty of cover and fairly secluded. The people here think it is cursed, but we will be safe there. I cannot have Leon here any longer. If they find him, he will be executed on the spot.”"

Because of this, both the demon Kludde and Leon received a part of each other.<br/><br/>Leon’s soul was tainted by the darkness, corrupted to a certain extent but kept even by the power of his former spirit. Kludde received the same effect only in reverse. The holy spirit attached itself to Kludde’s twisted soul, changing it irreparably into something both demonic and holy. In a way, Kludde succeeded in possessing Leon. The problem is Leon succeeded in possessing Kludde as well.<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/>He also possesses a trinket given to him by his master. The trinket is a bracelet, made up of white braided leather with a silver ornament made from one of the city’s magical gems. The bracelet itself is nothing special, the gem however is another story. While wearing it, the darker part of his soul is suppressed. Kludde is much easier to control while wearing it and he is less prone to the rage that plagues him, but not immune. If the bracelet is removed, he becomes easily agitated, very on edge and has a much harder time reigning his control over Kludde, who will often times become more threatening toward people in his posture. His tricks become far less harmful as well, often times resulting in somebody being hurt.<br/><br/>Kludde’s chain, typically wrapped around his waist as a belt.<br/><br/><b>Bio</b>: In Leon’s early life, he was outgoing, happy and lighthearted almost constantly. He could often times be found with a smile on his face and a spring in his step. Just being around him seemed to effect people, lightening their mood significantly in times of depression or sadness. He had many friends. This changed when Kludde came into his life at the age of thirteen. The darkness that fastened itself to his soul changed him over night. He remains the happy and lighthearted appearance, his personality changed very little and people still seemed to gravitate toward that constant aura he seemed to emit, but the inside changed completely.<br/><br/>Gone was the happy and carefree child. While he will not show it often, he feels constantly depressed. A heavy weight seems to press onto his chest constantly and he is much more prone to violence than he had been originally. A constant rage seemed to rest inside of him, constantly building up behind a wall until he reaches a breaking point and snaps, often times during stressful or dangerous events in his life. A fight that endangered his life would set this part of him off, and a reaper would emerge from the inner turmoil. Kludde remains, for the most part, passive and even happy at his side, much like his former spirit, Vajra had been. Leon refuses to even call Kludde by his name, referring to him as Vajra and only Vajra.<br/><br/>Leon was born in Malum to a woman named Maya and a man named Elijah whom he had to leave behind when he went to Omnia as a result of Kludde’s appearance.<hr/>Character Two:<br/><br/><b>Name</b>: Myra Crowe<br/><br/><b>Age</b>: Eighteen.<br/><br/><b>Appearance</b>:<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/><b>Notable Traits</b>: Shockingly white hair reaching to below her waist. Light blue-grey eyes. Extremely Naive.<br/><b>Unique Abilities</b>: The advanced perception of spiritual and magical energies. High speed, agility, and endurance. Body heals quicker than a regular being.<br/><br/><b>Summary</b>: Myra's beginning was never defined, the first time anyone could claim she existed was when an older gentleman found the young toddler wandering in the very dangerous wilderness. Easily recognizing the girl's immense spiritual energy and realizing she was something of a rarity he decided to keep an eye on her. This man was known as Isaac Crowe or to those who feared him 'The Black Warlock', a madman of an extreme power who along with a small group of equally powerful allies kept the world in check. However in his waning years, Isaac had become a lonely old man who decided to spend the rest of his days alone in a shack on the edge of the Wilderness. To most he was a crazy old man no one bothered to approach but often many would claim to see a strange young girl walking along with him. These claims became facts as the young girl was now a blossoming woman. Often she would travel to the local town claiming to be Myra Crowe granddaughter of old man Crowe, none the wiser who he truly was. It wasn't until Myra was seventeen which Crowe told her the truth of her origin and what he believed she was.<br/><br/>He had explained that Myra must have been born through some form of dark ritual or simply just a strangeness in the world. Her soul, the soul of a young female human had been combined with a soul from another dimension of existence. Early on, he had discovered his hypothesis as fact when one day a strange white fox with two tails and strange marking on its body came wandering around and eventually began following the girl around almost fascinated with her. A few months after the strange fox appeared, it had obviously made a spiritual pact with the girl making her one of the very rare (Spirit people we still need a name for?)<br/><br/><b>Accompanying Spirit</b>: Neru the Demon Fox<br/><br/><b>Physical Description</b>: Neru is a small, male demon fox from another plane of existence who somehow traversed into ours, perplexed with Myra. In his most basic form, Neru appears as a small white fox, no bigger than a cat with strange red markings on its face and paws. When Neru begins to use his magical abilities, he creates small yellow balls of energy around his body. As Neru and Myra access more power, Neru will appear to enhance his appearance often gaining more markings, tails and growing larger while appearing more ferocious.<br/><b>Appearance</b>:<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/><b>Equipment</b>:<br/><br/><i>- Boots of the Crow -</i>Small black leather boots with what appears to be crow feathers sewn into the heels and made to stick out. They allow the user to gracefully 'walk' through the air. A rare item indeed.<br/><br/><i>- The Hat of Eternal Wisdom -</i>An arrogant and slightly abrasive hat who seems to have a near infinite number of facts. Occasionally however, he may require the person to do a task for him in exchange for information. Apparently, the hat can gain knowledge it may previously not had when very specific and ancient tomes of knowledge are placed within him although most of these are scattered and lost.<br/><br/><i>- Wooden Staff - </i>A long black crooked stick with a large knot on the end. Working as both as a weapon and walking stick, the wooden staff is made from a rare ironbark tree making it as hard as most metals and more durable. The staff is used as a medium for higher level abilities.<br/>Abilities:<br/>- Lightning Generation - By utilizing Neru's massive spiritual energy and combining it with Myra's magical affinity they can generate enough power to create lightning-based attacks.<br/>- Wind Manipulation - Using the magical energy Myra has, she can control the wind around her. Some aspects of this ability include generation of sonic blasts, manipulating wind currents and forming offensive or defensive spells.<br/>- Rejuvenation - The excess spiritual power Neru has allows Myra to cleanse allies around her and heal them. She can use these abilities to detoxify a person, cleanse their wounds and afflictions and rejuvenate their overall stamina and energy.<br/><hr/>The World<hr/>Cliffhaven - The wealthy city-state with the Royal family. Possibly located on an isle similar to Britain or a chain of isles with constant cold rain? The main keep is carved from the largest mountain in the land, Mt. (Cool name like Greystone Keep or something), the warriors here boast the most honor and the most troops. They utilize sheer numbers and their naval forces to do most of their fighting. They have developed a use for the magical crystal Omnia mines, by forging it into armors they can easily enhance the metals to to become extremely durable yet heavy (This would mean their weapons are the sharpest but they would have huge hulking knights with strong armor.)<br/><br/>Omnia - The underground city-state of magic, holds the high council of the Magi, the brightest minds in the world of magic. They use an army of battle mages, spellswords and arcane archers, all utilizing special forms of magic and magical infused equipment to defend their cavern.<br/><br/>Legis - A city located across the Grey Sea from Cliffhaven and its closest ally. They host a huge portion of farmland and produce the most livestock, although a weak military force they do the most trading across the land and seek protection from their allies by simply being valuable. Crowned the city everyone should go at least once, hosts a massively diverse culture.<br/><br/>Malum (Mahl-Uhm) - The town of the pride who give birth to highly noble people who excel in almost all arts, some refer to them as overachievers. Living among the beautiful emerald forest in the east. Boasting the highest military power thanks to the highly advanced spiritual and personal understanding of the world along with a highly advanced technology based around the use of 'Mana' a liquid magic fuel source created through unknown means (is that a good idea? Magic is the ability to warp physics but Mana is a liquid form of it, volatile and generally just dangerous.) Using their mana, they have managed to treat mail-based armor to become extremely lightweight, quiet and durable. (They would have lightweight and strong armor but their weapons would be very basic, more defense than offense.)<br/><br/>Jurgard (Jer-guard) - The evil city in the north, surrounded by huge walls of Ice sitting in the center of a frozen ocean. Those born here are ruthless, unforgiving and harsh. Stealing here is unknown, those who attempt are quickly attacked by any man, woman or child who witnesses it and face a public beating along with at least one extremity being cut off. These 'Barbarians' as some refer to them hold a small but extremely powerful group of warriors who focus on a form of physical based magic which makes a single warrior worth at least twenty regulars. (Think of Spartan Barbarians combined with the Huns and raised in Kung Fu schools, they will crush you.)<br/><br/>Neraine (Nur-rain) - The city lost to thieves, with no real ruler it is mainly run by warring crime families, warlords and local gangs who claim to own specific 'turfs'. Death, rape, kidnapping are commonplace here and any that survive to become an adult are ruthless in a way more cruel than those in the North, they work in the dark arts of assassination, espionage, sabotage. Rumors of necromancy and other dark magic exists here. A city lost in the southern swamplands generally ignored by most of society while sitting on the edge of the wilderness."

It is run by a council of elders, and made up of mostly magic users. The Soul Weavers are often times born here as magic runs practically unchecked throughout the gems that adorn the walls of the massive underground city. Directly in the center lies a lake of incredibly clear and pure water, disturbed only by structures crafted inside the stone pillars that keep the place from caving in, gondola’s and the occasional floating home, all of which are anchored to the floor and never move, float or collide with other structures or homes. The lake-bed is clustered with various crystals of varying shapes, sizes and colors, embedded into the ground throughout the entire natural lake, some of which breach the surface, casting a brilliant glow against the walls of the massive cavern and across the various buildings. The lake itself is surrounded mostly by land, part of which extends through the opening in the large mountain the place resides in, though this is used primarily as an entry way, there are very few homes and buildings out here.<br/><br/>This land surrounds the entire lake, stretching back a large distance to hold one main road that circles the entire mass as well as various small roads that lead to residences and shops of various sizes. The walls of the cavern are dug into in the shape of tunnels that extend far into the mountain, which opens up into an even larger cavern, in which resides the city-state’s main feature: on top of a massive plateau nestled in the middle of another lake, connected by an immaculate bridge of stone sits an ancient building crafted of stone and the same magical gems you can find embedded into the walls of this cavern. This building or castle houses no king or queen or even royalty, but serves as both home of the council of elders as well as the masters of magic. The very few students allowed to study here are lucky to learn from masters of their craft. For the most part it is very empty and quiet, and very few are permitted to enter this place or even the city itself. Their exports consist of magical gems and stones, harvested from inside the mountain and under the ground, used to power machines. They are very high in demand, and the city is incredibly wealthy because of this."

At one final in a gas station, Grimm hopped off his bike and turned it off, and emptied the remaining gas on the almost depleted tank of his motorcycle. At almost full tank now, he knew it would be a perfect weapon in case he had to blow it off to get the walkers away from him.

Maybe he'd just say to hell with it and cross the whole city and pick up his stash while he was at it too.<br/><br/>Adam stepped up to the window and looked through. It was pretty clear of walkers, one or two were roaming around but he could get by them. As the drugs kicked in at full force he thought now or never and plucked his shotgun up, slinging it over his shoulder as he shoved the garage door open and ran out as fast as he could. A walker stumbled into him and he pulled a Han Solo, turning around and sprinting back inside, locking the garage door behind him. I think I'll give it a day... he thought.<br/><br/>SAMANTHA BAXTER<br/><br/>Sam pushed open a brown wooden door and pointed her .357 inside. It was clear but she heard a moaning coming from one of the back rooms. She holstered her gun and slid the pipe from her backpack, holding it up high. She stepped into the house and headed for the hallway off to her right. She heard the moaning coming from the last door but just to be safe she checked every one along the way. They were all clear, so at last she progressed to the end of the hallway. When she reached the end she took a deep breath and opened up the door. Immediately a walker descended down onto her, she whacked it as hard as she could on the temple and sent it reeling into the wall. Then another two came pouring out and her only option was to back up. She slammed her pipe down onto the first one's head and it fell to the floor dead but the other two were still coming. She backed up back down the hallway and turned around to see another walker coming straight for her. She kicked it as hard as she could in the chest and sent it to the ground, then hopped over it and bolted back out the door. She ran as quickly as should could across the street and into another house, this one had a red door. She went through the process of checking every room again in this one to find no walkers or supplies and twenty minutes after entering she found herself securing a heavily windowed room on the top floor to retire in for the night."

On the road below, the living dead made their shuffle across the destroyed road; seems as if they were heading towards New Orleans, or so the beaten green sign to Booker's left would put it;<i>New Orleans, 4 miles ahead</i>. His body ached from the rest. It always does - living conditions aren't<i>really</i>that idea for hell, now. He managed to get to his feet, looking around the surrounding lands. The area was actually benign for the circumstances. He took his backpack by the strap, sliding it onto his back.<br/><br/>He walked down the roof of the van, dropping onto the concrete road. The group of dead had't noticed him; they were ahead, stumbling and shuffling about. He followed behind the party, in near the same manner. He walked with the shuffling of his feet, his head hanged low. Though he unsheathed his machete from his backpack, in case of the walkers catching wind of him. They made it about three minutes before a moan echo'd in his direction. It didn't seem as big of a deal now, though. The party had split and stumbled into the grass and other areas; only around four remained on the road in front of him. Booker didn't have much of a problem out maneuvering the walkers. He slid past one, causing it to stumble somewhere behind him. His machete slammed into the head of another, which cleaved a path for him to walk without trouble, even if he would be followed by the remainders.<br/><br/>Somewhere along the way his company disbanded, finding other prey, falling, or getting killed by getting too close to Marcus. His shuffle ground to a halt in front of a similar sign to the one he witnessed back at the van; [i]New Orleans, 1 mile ahead/i]. He waited for several moments, taking in the situation. Would he find supplies? People - and if so would they be friendly? He came to the conclusion that it didn't really make a difference. He took the gamble. He started down the road again, towards the city."

Nowadays the rooftops seemed like an even better option to make his way through, walkers were a very rare sight on the rooftops as none of them had the intelligence to climb ladders, most barely even knew how to ascend a flight of stairs. His supplies had run low however, forcing him to move from his sleeping place atop the belltower of a small church on the outskirts of New Orleans. Most of the shops nearby he had already stripped clean. With no small amount of reluctance he increased his search radius, opting for now no to head too deep into the city yet to avoid the large clusters of walkers that surely clogged certain area's.<br/><br/>Pumping strength into his legs, he burst into a sprint, jumping off of the ledge at the last possible moment. After what seemed like a couple of second, his upper body hit the opposite wall with a thud, managing to swing his arms over the edge before he could slide back off. As well as he had done several times befre, he clambered on top of the next roof. Once he was up, he spared a small moment to look back into the alley he had just leapt over. A couple of walkers had heard his clambering, wailing and groaning up at him as they uselessly scraped their decaying hands over the surface of the wall by attempting to claw up at him. Had he missed his jump, his legs would've been broken and he'd have been subjected to - well, it was probably better not to think about that. If his bearings were correct, he just had to find a way into the building he was on top of right now, which used to be a convenience store. It was the second one he was scavenging today, the first had been looted clean already, most likely during the first few days of the outbreak. His thoughts were interrupted by the loud roar of an engine in the distance, someone who apparantly liked to show off that he was one of te few people that still had transportation like that for some reason. Damian furrowed his brow, either the noise was going to attract herds of walkers, or other survivors to steal the engine. Shaking his head, he decided he wasn't interested in either one of those groups of people, instead fumbling with the hatch into the atic of the store, which took more time and effort to pry open than he would have liked.."

Jessalyn asked in a worried tone.<br/>""Some random guy on a bike.""<br/>""Anyone we know? Does he look like he might be with Tyler?""<br/>Jessalyn had a reason to be scared. Tyler had been the leader of a large group that had come through. They had attacked the two women and nearly taken everything they had. the only choice Lynn and Jess had had was to run. It had taken them a long time to restock what they had lost and they were still short.<br/>""I can't tell,"" Lynn replied honestly. She wouldn't shoot unless he gave her a reason.

Floyd whispered to himself as he mounted the beast. The sun shone directly on the black exterior of the Triumph Bonneville. The ape hangers were perfectly aligned. Though there was dust surrounding such beauty, a descent of water would clean it right up. Floyd then hoped on the machine, falling with a sight to its bobber style. He prepared to turn it on when his hand grasped nothing but air. The key was not on the ignition, so he grunted.<br/><br/>He got off the bike and pulled his bow from around him. He pulled out an arrow from his hip quiver and prepared to strike. He looked nearby to find missing person and his eyes caught his victim. A walker, about five eleven - six feet tall. He had on a plated Levi's button down which was covered by a leather vest with a name braided on the pocket. ""Its you ain' it big guy? Ain't know the city had bikers like you"" Floyd said to himself as he aimed his bow to the biker's forehead. With a release, the camouflaged arrow swished through the silent breeze and brushed straight through the biker's skull, sending him straight into the concrete below him. The thud of his body colliding with the surface echoed through the thin streets. Floyd walked up to the walker and searched its pockets, locating the key to the beauty of a bike. It was his lucky day.<br/><br/>After removing the arrow, he returned to the Triumph. He hoped back on and placed the key into the ignition. With a twist, the engine ran, but startled to stall. The motors monstrous noise echoed like the walkers thud, but twice as loud. Out of nowhere, walkers began to exit the nearby building. ""Ugh, c'mon, c'mon!"" Floyd started, turning the key twice more, facing the same effect. The bike would not start. The closer the walkers got, the more anxious and angry Floyd was getting. With that urgency on his mind, he noticed the kick start the Triumph had. He kicked it forcefully and the bike started, a burst of noise echoing through the city. With the walkers a couple feet from him, Floyd hit the acceleration and squeezed through the walker's grasp.<br/><br/>As he drove through the profound crowded city, the moans began to follow him distantly. Floyd ended up with two choices a couple minutes later. Before him lay train tracks; train tracks which he could follow left or right. With a quick exhale, he turned to his right and began to speed through the soft and muted green grass. All that could be heard was the growl of his 'new bike'. Then within minutes to his march along the trail, the bike started to stall yet again. Within seconds to the stalling sound, the bike stopped in its tracks. Floyd ran his hand along his face and stepped off, kicking the machine on its engine then slowly sat next to it with his elbows on his knees. His eyes were squinted due to the glare of the sun. With sweat running down his face, he stood and started towards the near railway cars. There was no longer any breeze and the heat was unbearable. The cars would be great shelter for the upcoming night. One can even make a fire without worrying of burning down. As he reached the first one titled 'Express Agency', he couldn't help but notice a walker trying to make its way into a specific car. Floyd pulled out his trench knife and clanked it against the Express Agency, calling for the walker's attention. ""C'mon you dumb dead bastard. I ain't got all day"" Floyd called out as the moans started towards him.<br/><br/>Without any further hesitation, Floyd walked up to the walker and jammed his knife into the walker's head, causing it to instantly drop dead. He then continued slowly towards the car the walker was trying to get into. ""Hey! Anybody in there?"" he asked before placing his hand on the door and prepared to open it widely, knife in hand. As he pulled it open, another walker jumped out, landing on top of him. With his left forearm, he held the walker back by its neck. With his right, he pushed his knife clean through the head. The zombie fell to its right. It was 'dead'. That's when a noticeable sound rang in his ear. The roar of what seemed to be a Harley was in the distance. The roar stopped once Floyd regained his balance. Slowly and steadily, he continued down the tracks, hiding behind the cars as his bow was loaded with an arrow. After a good jog, his eyes gazed upon a large man. He wore a damn skull on his head, like a freaken mask or something. ""Look at this douchebag"" he said, watching the situation from afar, waiting to see what happened next. He wasn't stupid enough to interfere in another persons problem, it didn't involve him."

He trembled with fear as he shakily held his broomstick spear in front of him while he quietly tiptoed into the kitchen. He heard a soft clatter behind a locked door and decided not to find out what was behind it. Carefully he went to a pot that was sitting on a stove and stood on his tippy-toes to peek inside, he gagged as he saw and caught the scent of the gumbo, or what was left of it anyway. He coughed into his arm as he reached to put the lid back on the pot. In the corner of the room he caught sight of a rat chewing on what looked like another rat. Silently he got closer, trembling and biting his lip, he threw his spear at the rat. The spear caught itself right in the center of the rat's stomach, It squirmed violently before dying. With a sigh of relief, Harrison pulled the rat off from the end of his spear and placed it in his bag, 'I finally got some food,' he thought to himself with a sigh of relief.<br/>The hairs on the back of Harrison's neck stood up as heard a creak behind him. Trembling, he turned behind him to see the door that had been closed was now opened and he couldn't see what had been in there inside. Quietly, he got on all fours and hid behind the kitchen table. He looked at the glass on the oven in front of him and caught the reflection of what looked like a torso crawling around on the other side of the table. Carefully, Harrison took a deep breath as he gulped in air, his hands shaking, he could hear his own heartbeat and he felt dizzy. He couldn't let the grip of fear stop him like it had stopped his papa, not here. Giving his face a small slap with his palm, he brought himself back to his senses. Climbing on top of the table he carefully crawled across and peeked over the edge to see the crawler beneath him, it had no eyes and only had ears. With a deep breath, Harrison took a small stone from his pack and threw it behind him. With a soft clack, the rock hit the tile flooring in front of the oven. The crawler let out a horrifying moan as it pulled its way over to the sound with its arms. Quickly, Harrison kept off the table and ran out the door he had come in. After he got a safe distance in a nearby alleyway, afraid of a loud engine noise he had heard while leaving the restaurant. He sat down against the brick wall and began to cry."

There's nothing but chaos out here.</i>Holly was huddled in the corner of a small house with two uncurtained windows and a barricaded door. Holly gathered the courage to look out the window and saw a walker slobbering and banging on the window trying to get in.<i>I'd just make a break for it if i hadn't left my supplies outside like a scrub lord,</i>she thought. Holly started to move the wardrobe that served as the barricade. Walkers are not the brightest living corpses, it continued to try and reach her by getting through the window. Holly smirked at the walker and stuck out her tongue at it.<br/><br/><i>Let's see, what'd I lose back there? A bag, a water-bottle, half-full, food to last me one more night, and a fishing pole. I should really go back, it's only one walker.</i>Holly had stopped jogging away from her temporary shelter and faced the walker that had been after her. She pulled out her knife and held it like a tiny sword. ""Come on then!"" she said aggressive. The monster snarled at her and continued to approach her. Each step made Holly's heart race a faster. Once the walker got two feet from her she ran around him. ""Nope!"" she said with terror. She quickly scooped up her bag and jumped over a fence that led to someones back yard. Two new walkers grabbed at the wooden gate, trying to knock it over. In fear that the noise would attract more biters, she climbed a ladder that was conveniently in the back yard and stood on the roof.<br/><br/>The motorcycle noise made her yelp in surprise. The walkers lost interest in Holly and went off to find the source of the racket. She became relieved. She was about to climb back down, but she noticed something in the corner of her eye. Another survivor was on a different roof a bit of a ways from her. That or a walker that learned how to open doors.<i>Oh no, there learning!</i>She studied the way the man, or woman, moved and found out they were indeed human."

Tom found himself trapped in a world of his own, one that he never thought would be possible.. one that would inflict fear into him for the rest of his days, his parents had been swarmed.. killed, ripped limb by limb; which caused him to flee, he's now about four and a half football fields away from being into the city deemed 'New Orleans' by the looks on his map, he is currently just on the beginning parts of the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad; which led away from Jefferson City. He nodded to himself in affirmation before he rolled up the map up as if it were to be placed in a bottle, but instead - he shoved it sideways under his black suspenders.<br/><br/>Tom placed his hands on his hips in a sloppy fashion, before squinting his eyes - looking down the long, almost seemingly endless stretch of track.. which he knew was not the exact case, it had to end somewhere.. but the thought of being isolated, walking on some rusty tracks out in the open, with nothing but trees to his left and right; scared him.. he grasped the brim of his hat, taking it off.. revealing his traditional Amish haircut, or atleast what was left of it.. it having gone shingled and long, but then cut short by Tom when needed with use of a rusty trusty knife that he had learned to admire.<br/><br/>He dangled his hat off to his side, exhaling deeply through his mouth, his cheeks puffed.. his lips in an o-formation, his cheeks went flat.. his breath out-.. he took another one and started to trek onwards down the left side of the tracks.. this wasn't a time of all work and no play, he would occasionally balance upon the rail of the track and go one foot after another as if he was a circus performer.. but his fun was cut off short. What laid ahead of him was a puzzling sight, he had walked about one-hundred yards now with not a sight but the occasional leaf blow by with help of the wind.. but no, this was different.. he now witnessed a man loitering around a substantial amount of incapacitated railway cars, and ontop of one stood a woman who appeared to be armed with a pistol.<br/><br/>Tom took no time to get into cover, he threw himself to the right side of the tracks.. doing a roll until he was hidden within the brush of the woods. Tom clambered to his feet with copious amounts of agility present, slipping his arms out of his rucksack. Tom slung the rucksack infront of where he kneeled, unbuckling a plastic restraint which held a hunters slingshot firmly into place.<br/><br/>He took a firm grasp upon the designated handle of his slingshot in his right hand, his fingers clasped tightly over the handle.. so tight that his knuckles were white. Tom reached into his pocket, his small fingers feeling about before he grasped a cold metallic object, yanking it out of his pocket; this metallic object being a steel ball bearing, which was his ammo of choice for his wrist-rocket. Tom rolled the ball-bearing from his palm down to his fingertips in his left hand where he applied a tight grasp with his thumb and index finger, fumbling it into the pouch of the slingshot.<br/><br/>Tom pinched off the leather pouch of the slingshot with his fingers so the ball couldn't escape/drop out prematurely before firing, he disregarded his rucksack.. duck-walking upwards out of the woods.. kneeling behind a tree-.. he pulled back on the pad containing the bearing, thus stretching out the rubber cording it was attached too. Tom kept his ears trained onto any speech that might come out of the individuals, his aim with the slingshot was primarily focused upon the man.. a nice aim directed towards his windpipe. He was ready to kill if it meant protecting a woman, the woman in his mind; innocent of all fault in this situation.. Tom kept seated, ready for whatever was about to go down.. holding his breath - he wouldn't miss.. not for nothing."

Overdeveloped men throwing themselves into life threatening situations with only an egg, a lighter and 12 carrots to survive on for like a month. It had all seemed so pointless to him and yet here he was 6 months later having to survive in a world that used to offer all the creature comforts you could imagine. However being rather pampered in his life before the outbreak had only been a blessing. Whilst others suffered from overcrowding and fighting for the mealy resources they had available only to succumb to the infection he had been in a very quiet almost desolate area with barely anybody living near him. The wealthier had barricaded themselves in and stayed quiet, some driving off in their huge 4 by 4s. The first day that he deemed the 'beginning of the apocalypse' he had been able to get supplies from the hospital, drive home, pack a rucksack, get changed and prepare himself as much as he could. His rucksack contained a syringe, a few vials of penicillin, a lighter, a couple of bottles of water, a couple of tins of baked beans, a sleeping bag from his attic and a large winter coat for when it got colder. As well as this he was dressed in his favourite flannel shirt, a tough pair of black jeans, a leather jacket and carried a hatchet, from his shed, on his side and a number of tough scalpels, from his hospital, in a wire pouch he had sewn onto his rucksack, so that they wouldn't cut up anything or anyone if he fell or they just moved in the wrong way.<br/><br/>He was sitting in an old cafe that he used to frequent, before the outbreak, sipping on a cool bottle of water he had found in the back. The cafe had been pretty much bare and he was surprised to have even found the water. He had been moving around New Orleans for about a week now after he realised that cooping up in his own home would end up with him dead anyway. He was trying to find another group to move around with, there was always safety in numbers. However he still couldn't get over what happened to the last group, those poor kids. He had been surprised by the lack of walkers around this area and would have said it was his good luck, if he believed in luck, that had led him here. Just then he faintly heard the roar of a Harley. He had always liked bikes as a kid and knew the distinctive sound of a Harleys engine evine if he didn't like the bikes themselves. Turning his head the sound seemed to be coming from the nearby railroad, whoever was making that noise was going to be dead shortly and was probably also the reason he was zombie free. Raising the bottle of water up in salute he thanked whoever was on the bike and wished them a swift death. The sound got louder before it cut out and as it cut out he could here a fainter noise that was obviously much closer. Crying. Pulling a scalpel out of his bag he skulked round to the side entrance h had used. The crying was quieter here and so he moved round to the front entrance. This led onto a small road that went off in three directions. He couldn't yet see the source of the crying and so assumed it must be close and hidden. Putting his head further around he spied a small alley way off on his right. Stepping around slowly he walked up to the lip of the alley and pushed his head around. He couldn't see much however the crying was definitely coming from here. As he advanced down the alley his mind flashed back to the last group who had been crying. No. No, he wouldn't think about that. Finally he came to a large dumpster and around the other side of it sat a boy, huddled up in himself and whimpering. The kid looked barely older than 10 and by the state of his clothes had been out on his own for quite some time. Jack slid the scalpel back into it's pouch and kicked the dumpster making a quiet sound as it hollowly echoed. Jack knew kids, this would would definitely not trust him.<br/><br/>""Hey kid."" Jacks gravely voice hummed. He raised his hands as if in surrender to assure the child that he had no weapons."

While he wouldn't think it twice to betray and kill them, they were females and thus had every right to be kept alive. In fact, the people he had killed and left to starve were all men, people he really didn't care at all. He slowly accelerated once more and drove to the front of the cars until he was almost in front of them and below the woman, then he got off the bike with his sickle in his hand, his machete still sheathed on his back. ""Greetings there...you are there...you are surely the first female survivor I've seen in...maybe...one month...I won't lie...one or two months..."" Mr. Grimm's voice was rusty and obviously tired after two days without food or water, mostly since his supplies were gone. ""Just a lonesome person...waiting for this dust to either consume me or to die from starving...."" His blue eyes looked at her through the skull, there was obviously a growing beard and moustache growing on his face as he hadn't shaved in days now.

He spat a curse, quickly reconsidering the stuation. One would think that after an apocalyps of these kind of proportions the little things would no longer be able to keep him back, but the stubborn lock seemed to mock him right in the face for optimism like that. Lacking any lockingpicking equipment, there were but a few options left to him. The possible spoils inside might be worthwhile, from the outside the covenience store looked to be sealed up pretty tightly. The windows were boarded up with thick planks of sturdy wood, while some of the planks appeared to have been pried a bit loose by grasping walker hands, most still seemed to serve their purpose splendidly . A small patch of walkers wandering about and bumping into each other aimlessly could bean indication that the insides of the shop were still intact. This was the extent of his optimism however, the lock on the hatch seemed new and stainless, it might even be possible that another survivor was holed up inside and even as he was assessin the situation, lying in wait behind to jump at him with a knife or something. Walkers he could handle and avoid, it was often the living that were more dangerous. If anything, a walker was predictable, it was certain that it was going to try and chew your face off. It wasn't as if Damian was frightened of confrontations with other living humans, but there was no need to barge into potentionally dangerous situations if they could be avoided altogheter. It didn't particularly matter, as long as the lock was in place he wasn't getting anyway, and he wasn't about to break or blunt one of his weapons on the lock either. His last lockpick had snapped in two trying to break into a medicine cabinet, Damian was just going to have to find another.<br/><br/>Swinging his backpack from his back, he pulled out the drawn, makeshift map he had made himself of his surroundings, adding the section that he had explored just now. A red circle around the building he was curently in idicated that there was probably still supplies worth taking in there, whereas a bunch of red crosses over previous buildings either indicated that there was nothng left worth taking inside or the risk attempting to scanvenge through these walker infested buildings simply wasn't worth what he might be able to salvage from them. The other possessions he had with him at the moment were meagre aswell, this run hadn't been exactly fruitful yet. An energy bar, a roll of tape, a bottle of laxatives that he didn't completely remember why he had picked up in the first place and some batteries that he wasn't even sure were empty or full. Considering his luck, it was probably better to assume tht they were empty, but there was no need for pessimism either.<br/><br/>As he rose to his feet, he spotted a figure on a roof not too far from his. It was too far to distinguish gender, or even state of life, but it was definitely a human. There was a twinge of self chastising that he hadn't spotted him or her earlier, but at least he should be grateful that he had yet to be shot in the back with an arrow or a bullet. It seemed like a long shot, but perhaps it was even friendly, Damian still had to figure out if he would be the same in return. It didn't look as if it was pointing a weapon at him yet, so he decided to make his way over to the adjecent roof a little closer to the figure, attempting another daring leap that he would have never have trusted himself with before this all went down. Once clambered on top, his arm ascneded up in the air in a wave towards the figure, signalling that he wasn't a walker if his leap had not already proven that point."

How long has it been? Was the thought that had kept him busy for a couple of hours. ""Well I guess I'll have to move"" He got up with a small sigh. Who's house is this? It didn't matter, but he couldn't help himself but think what their life was like. If they are still alive, or did they get devoured by walkers, or...As it seems what is now more likely, Humans. Living, breathing and normally dangerous. Ironic during the end of the world that we are still somehow the main threat. But rob soon finished that thought as he peeked outside the door. No one or thing was there, but...He was sure he could hear some noise, it was faint. But he could definitely hear something, not a walker...Human? It had to be.<br/><br/>Rob wasn't certain whether he should check it out or head in the exact opposite direction, normally the later would be very wise, but his curiosity got the better of him. He quickly bundled up his now very sparse supplies in his bag and headed off. Baseball bat in hand, because as he was sure anyone who was alive would know. Expect the worse of people always. He walked through the streets carefully, the one he was on right now was completely empty. But walkers could ambush you from any where, if they were clever enough to do that anyways.<br/><br/>Closer to the noise, it was definitely human. Walkers tended to stumble about and moan a lot. Closer and closer, would he dare say anything? it would be stupid, but so would coming up to someone in their blind spot. Even if by accident.

When he waved, she felt relieved to find out he was friendly. She hated being alone, afraid that her loneliness will one day mean she's the last human on earth. The rooftops were connected by other houses so Holly wanted to try and meet the fellow survivor. She brought up the ladder she used to get on the rooftop in the first place and used it as a make-shift bridge to the next roof. It took a long time, but it was much safer than jumping. If she were to fall though, she'd be walker food for the swarm below her. Eventually she got to a roof two blocks away from the ow identifiable man. She waved to him.<br/>""Hello! Have any friends or are you alone?"" she asked.<i>I don't really want to be ambushed and robbed so I better keep my distance</i>, she thought."

Somehow he hasn't been noticed, he stayed quiet. Hiding in the shadows, she made a bridge with a ladder. Neat, Rob thought, of course if she fell walkers could get her, and...if he wanted to, himself as well. after a while she tried to communicate with the person he earlier saw on the roof a bit away. He could say hello, but would that get him anywhere. If he could somehow get on the roof, then maybe. Would she be friendly, well...Now that he thought about it, if she was nice enough to talk to the other person on the other roof. She might not mind him.<br/><br/>It's never good to be below though, because then usually they could get you but you couldn't get them, if that needed to happen of course. clinging to the wall, rob silently moved closer.He couldn't see...any walker in his vision at the moment.

He'd been walking for several weeks, and his food supply was starting to run out. He had enough to last him about three days. He had to find more as soon as possible. Surprisingly, finding food still wasn't his main goal. He needed it to survive, but there was something else that was far more important to him. His wife and daughter were in New Orleans when he left for that hunting trip. This was where he was headed. He was starting to think he'd gone the wrong direction, but he was reassured when he saw buildings on the horizon. This was it. He finally made it."

It was effective, and porbably a lot safer than what he was doing, but he doubted that she'd be able to run very fast or very far while carrying that, nor would he have a great deal of time to place the ladder correctly if there were walkers trying to grab her. To each their own, he supposed. There was no threat coming from her, but still he remained tense and wary, looks could be deceiving, her friends might even have laid an ambush for him if he came too close, so for the moment he had no intention of heading any closer to the woman. Though his arms were crossed over his chest, it would take but a couple of seconds for him to draw either one of the twin katana's on his back out of their seathes or fling a throwing knife, though at the current distance he doubted that he'd be able to hit her.<br/><br/><i>""Hey.""</i>He responded, not sounding too enthusiastic, his distrust clearly showing in the tone of his voice.<i>""There's only me currently.""</i>He chose his answer carefully, if there was a threat of potential allies, she might think twice on attacking him if that thought was anywhere in her at all.<i>"" What about you? And you got any bites on you?""</i>He asked directly, not wasting time with courtesies.

Where did you get those from?"" She started to put the ladder to the next house closer to the man. ""I'm sorry, I'm being a bit rude, my name's Holly, and yours?"" Holly could swear she heard someone say something from below. She looked down and saw a man who she could have sworn said, ""Spoooky ghost!"" At first she suspected him to be a friend of the roof man, and was planning on attacking her. Then she realized that he just gave his position away for the sake of a joke and thought it unlikely.<i>I probably shouldn't give away his position just in case the roof man turns out to be a bad guy.

Just in case the other roof person attacks, he probably won't notice him. Rob walked around the house, and sprinted towards the row of houses, just to be sure the guy couldn't see him. He gave the female strangers a tilt of the head. He wasn't sure what she wanted to do, she could be wanting to attack, or ambush him with people that could be hiding. He bit his lip as he took a glance inside the house he was next to, nothing.

He was scared, that was for sure, as he peeked out the alley to see many walkers. ""Why me?"" He whispered, as he ducked back in to go back the way he came. ""Why am I stuck by myself?"" He whispered, climbing onto a dumpster to get over a fence. He landed on the ground with a grunt, and walked into a nearby door.<br/><br/>It appeared to be a small store, which was completely empty except from James' footsteps as he walked inside. As he explored one of the isles, he heard a groan coming from right next to him, and jumped back, his knife up and ready. The source of the noise appeared to be coming from a walker, who had managed to knock over a shelf onto itself and get trapped. James crouched down in front of it, and looked at the poor thing.<i>Why?</i>He thought.<i>Why has this got too happen to us. Why can't I just wake up from this nightmare?</i>James leaned forward a bit, and stabbed his knife into the head of the walker. Before he knew it, he was in tears. This was quite saddening for him. He got up, and strolled over to one of the windows of the store, sitting in the darkness and just staring outside."

It wasn't as if anyone had disputed his claim as of yet either.<br/><br/>His eyebrows arced downwards in a frown, his eyes narrowed when Holly looked away from him, not havng heard anyon talk from distance besides her, the walls muffling t sound of anyone talking below Holly.<i>""What's down there?""</i>He demanded, suddenly growing wary again, possibly she was consulting with one of her friends on how best to take Damian out.

Shannon grunted as she pulled the knife free and pushed the corpse away from her. It fell into an empty convenience store rack, sending the whole thing crashing to the ground. Her adrenaline pumping, Shannon crouched over the corpse and gave it one more stab to the head. When she was satisfied, she let out a deep breath and stumbled backwards, attempting to wrap her head around what had just happened.<br/><br/>She could now only hear her own rapid breathing and the thumping of her heart inside the convenience store. She looked briefly around at all of the empty racks, the broken cash register on the floor, and the empty boxes of food. It all felt... strangely normal. This mess and disarray was the natural state of things now. Even the dead body on the floor.<br/><br/>Shakily, Shannon stepped toward the blood.<br/><br/>She fell to her knees before the body of another woman. Her name had been Lexi. Her brown curls and tanned skin were now stained with blood. The woman who had the body of an Olympic athlete still clutched a police baton in her hands. Like so many others before her, the woman had been caught unawares by a monster and no weapon or amount of physical fitness could top a fit of carelessness. How could someone let their guard down in this new world?<br/><br/>As the shock began to ebb from her body, Shannon could swear she heard the echo of laughter. It took her a moment to recall that had been<i>her</i>laughter from just a moment ago. It had been so rare for her to laugh nowadays, but Lexi had known just what to say to make her giggle. Shannon had found herself enjoying the other women's presence so immensely only after knowing her for a few weeks. Lexi had a talent for making others laugh that had somehow survived the apocalypse.<br/><br/>Shannon touched the dead woman's shoulder, suddenly knowing why she had died. In this new world, a talent like Lexi's didn't belong. The pair of them had been joking around when they entered the convenience store. They had been joking around, imagining things as somewhat normal. Lexi had a smile on her face right up until the monster bit into her neck from behind. Shannon had seen it too late and a shout of ""Watch out!"" had died on her lips. Lexi had been so surprised by the attack, the monster easily pushed her to the ground, where she hit her head and died. The monster had taken another bite out of the poor woman before Shannon could put an end to it.<br/><br/>Lexi was another name to add to the long list of people Shannon had been forced to part with. Just another name. A distant part of Shannon pained with sadness, but the girl who had seen too much in the last six months was growing numb. Lexi had reminded her of something important, something she couldn't forget again: Laughter had no place in this new world.<br/><br/>With a shake of her head, Shannon grabbed the dead woman's backpack and began to sort through it. She moved the little food and water the woman had to her own backpack. She considered looting the dead woman's clothing, but realized all she would be doing was amassing a bigger collection of dirty laundry. Besides, Shannon figured she was probably too skinny to fit into most of it now.<br/><br/>She began to methodically search the store, pushing aside boxes and garbage in an attempt to find something salvageable. She paused occasionally to rub at her eyes, trying to push away the incoming tears. It hadn't been fair for Lexi to die. Lexi, who had been a stronger woman than Shannon thought she could ever be. Nothing was fair anymore.<br/><br/><i>I can't do this much longer.</i><br/><br/>A rumbling from outside caused Shannon to stiffen. It was probably a motorcycle, she recognized. A sudden urge to go outside overtook her; Her father had loved motorcycles and Shannon missed seeing them. Hastily, she grabbed her backpack and pried the police baton from the dead woman's hands as she went out the doors.<br/><br/>As she stepped out into the urban jungle, Shannon found that the rumbling had stopped. It was gone now, probably too distant to hear any longer. Gone forever, probably. With a sigh, the girl moved across the street, eyeing the other stores she would have to check out. She wasn't eager to continue her search by herself, but she knew had no other choice. As she walked up to the doors of the closest store, she paused at the strange sight of a male teenager looking out the store window. He seemed to be looking past her, Shannon realized. It was odd to see someone... what? Relaxing? Yes, she supposed it looked like that. It was entirely possible he was just another monster. Unable to say a word or bring herself to enter the store, Shannon simply knocked on the window, trying to get the guy's attention."

Fate drove me to this city, I reckon. Yet, I don't know what it has in store for me; may it be misfortune and death?</i>He asked himself, debating either to enter or turn on his heels and leave. He drew his Glock 18 from his poorly made, makeshift holster. He then began to walk forward, towards the run-down city.<i>No, I won't die,</i>he reassured himself as the buildings began to tower over him. He kept telling himself that he wouldn't die, but he didn't know how he could be so certain.<br/><br/>His ascent was a slow and weary one. The ache of his legs hadn't settled in until now.

Now he just needed food...and he could as well kill the girl...s....he had just met, but knew it was absolutely wrong. He just chuckled at her when she told him he could use one of the cars as a shelter. ""What...do you think I am? A hobo? I can stay on my bike..."" Right after that, he emptied the bottle of water and threw it aside. He looked around and could see one...maybe two walkers wandering around, probably smelling him, but they were still a few minutes away from him.<br/><br/>What surprised Grimm was when a younger girl came out, and it was really evident she was pregnant by the bulge on her belly. He had overheard their conversation, so when they started to walk away from him, he sighed.

He figured it might even be some sort of subliminal message that she was willing to go to greater lengths to ensure that she'd get some protection by the way she had worded it. Regardless, it mattered little to Damian, what it meant was that she had little to offer in terms of survival, and that Damian would have to carry a lot of her weight and compensate by working harder to ensure her survival in addition to his own, regardless of the benefits she might have to offer. That was just something Damian didn't really have the inclination to do yet. Damian had to be practical after all, and look at the bigger picture. On the other hand, his human interactions had bee slim, and it might be best to make sure that his mental health remained just as good as his phsyical state. During his scavening hunt he had found a corpse with its brains blown out all over the appartment, he was certain that it wasn't the first, and didn't want to end up like him at all himself.<br/><br/>With no immediate threat, the sword slid back into its scabbard on his back, shoving it back into its resting spot, also as a sign of good will and trust towards the other two survivors. It wasn't exactly as if he genunely trusted them, it was more like a fact that he knew that neither of them would really be a threat to him for the time being, bt they didn't have to know that. If they trusted him while he still mistrusted them, it could only work to his benefit in the long run.<br/><br/><i>""It's Damian.""</i>He responded quick, and to the point to the one below. Before continueing though, he made sure to exaine Rob carefully as well, hoping to spot any injuries or bite marks that could be apparant to the eye. Without attempting to be tactful about the subject, he quickly called out:<i>""You got any bites or scratches on you?""</i>To rob below, not really wishing to let him on the roof before he ws certain that he wasn't just as likely to tear into Damian's jugular as he was to help him out. Eventually, he'd shurg, gesturing towards Holly to do as she pleased and bring up her ladder to allow Rob onto the roof if she so wished. It wasn't his ladder, so she was free to deny him still if she liked."

Holly dropped the ladder down to Rob. She had no reason to not trust these two. Sure they were two strong men that could easily over power her and force her to do anything for them, but they didn't seem that bad. Especially Rob. Holly took a quick moment to scan the area. No walkers were in the open. Most must have left to follow that motorcycle. Any others were probably stuck behind a fence or in a house.

James literally cowered backwards in fear from the window, pulling up his knife. Realizing that the woman at the window was not a walker, James walked up to the window, looked around quickly to make sure that there were no walkers, and then walked to the front door of the store, knife still in hand.<i>The woman might rob me, or she might be friendly, I don't know anymore!</i>He thought, as he walked near the woman, but not too close, put his knife on the ground and slid it slowly toward the woman to show that he was now unarmed.

She put down the police baton next to the knife and then pulled off her backpack.

Neither particularly truck him as determined survivors, but that might mean that they would be a lot less likely to stab him in the back when things came down to it. Despite his better judgement though, he did not abandon the pair on the spot, his need for human interaction currently overpowering the voice in the back of his head that said that he would have a better chance of survival alone.

He loaded his bow, pulled the string back, and pointed the sharp arrowhead at the good doctor. The white lab coat was covered in filth, he was no longer of high status anymore. His knees were staggered low, seemed to be injured, or maybe just fatigued. Either way, he was not welcomed. Floyd had a hard time accepting people he barely knew, especially those that had more money than him and thought themselves as the elites, aristocrats. ""Stay back! And I should be asking<i>you</i>the same question. You don't look so good there doc.""<br/><br/>Then within the next few seconds, another figure appeared. This one looked as bad, or even in worse condition than the doctor. He didn't even have any shoes. To make things worse, Floyd couldn't even understand what he was saying, it just sounded like a whole bunch of jibberjabber. He was basically a zombie already, mumbling and moaning like the undead. ""Did a walker bite your tongue off boy? Speak properly. What the hell do you two want? Tryin' to rob us? Cuz ima let ya' know I ain't afraid of you! I ain't afraid of nothin' you hear?!""<br/><br/>He took a step forth, taking an offensive position and prepared to shoot if they moved a muscle. Shoot one in the head, drop the bow, pull out the knife, and jam the other in the neck. It was that easy. Floyd couldn't even tell if they had any sort of weapons, that was the issue. It wouldn't be smart to attack head on if they did. One mistake here and his life would be over. For every choice there was a consequence, it's logic.<br/><br/>""How bout' you two just get goin', we ain't got nothin' to share."" Then a second thought ran his mind. Why was he using the word 'we', when it didn't even involve the girl behind him, he wasn't with her. What did her safety have to do with him? He just met the girl and is already a part of their group? That'd be irrational and stupid. Once can't just trust strangers like that, it doesn't make sense.

While he wasn't aware of how many people New Orleans had originally inhabitated, he was certain it would take far too long to clear out every single walker in the streets, there were tens, hundreds of thousands by his rough estimate, nearly every inhabitant of the city had turned. Those that hadn't provedan even greater threat, he was sure that there'd be several survivors wiling to stand in their way. He sighed and shook his head.<br/><i>""I've only managed to haul one matress up there, I prefer to sleep off of the grond level, makes it harder for walkers to reach you if they'd managed to get in. The windows of the chruch have been boarded up, but it's not guarantee. There should be enough cushions from the benches and maybe even an odd blanket around if you care to look hard enough.""</i><br/>He didn't bother to wait for Holly to head down the ladder herself, like so many other things these days, chivalry was truly dead. Not that Damian had ever truly ben introduced to the idea of chivalry properly even before everything went to hell, but had he bee, there was little doubt that there'd be nothing left of it by now from surviving in such a harsh an lethal environment.<br/><br/>Admittedly, he wasn't overly excited about peple feasting on his supplies and sleeping under the same roof as him if they proved to be dishonest, but a life without human interaction was hardly a life at all, so he made his peace with it for the time being, he could always change his mind afterwards. Taking the lead, he walked off briskly in the direction of the church, trusting Holly and Rob to follow close behind. He had learned that standing still too long with your back exposed o walking too slowly left oyu an easy talking for a walker that thought your neck was a tasty bit of meat. It was safer now with someone watching his back now, he realised, another benefit of a group, he supposed.<br/>His route took them through as much back alleys as he could, The streets were still infested, and there was less chance of walking into a zombie where normally humans wouldn't wander as much either.<br/><br/>A walker that looked as if he could have been Damian's grandfather if his face wasn't crawling with maggots groaned up from behind a dumpster as he spotted the group heading towards him, but with one blade stabbed into his sternum to keep his grasping arms at bay, and the other blade brought in a firm horizontal slash that seperated half of skull from his jaw, Damian made short work of him, at the expense of getting some disgustingly smelling, caked dead man's blood on his shirt though, at which he grunted in dismay.<br/><br/>Before he managed to reflect on this however, his thoughts were interrupted by a gunshot, coming straight from the direction of the church.<i>""Damn it!</i>He cursed, bursting into a jog to traverse the last distance before the church came into view. He was only just in time to see the group of raiders slam open the doors and head inside, blasting at everything that might have been there. Damian supposed he had to count himself lucky that he hadn't been there when the raiders began. As good as his swords were against walkers, they weren't as effective against guns. His throwing knives might prove better, but it still wasn't the same as a gun. Up until now, he had always aoided other survivors or the ones that he hadn't been able to avoid didn't have guns. Now he knew where they all went. Keeping his voice down, Damian cursed several more times, unable to have done a headcount of the raiders even.<i> All of my things are in there, things I worked months to gather! </i>He gestured angrily with the tip of his bloodied blade towards the entrance of the church, glancing over his shoulder towards Rob and Holly to read their expressions and opinions. Grimacing, he looked back towards the bell tower,where a person was making a lot of noise towards them.If they could hear him, the raiders probably too. in Damian's mind he was little better than the raiders though, he too had been in his hideout, probably stealing his things. There was no telling on how many walkers would be attracted to so many gunfire and shouting either. This was bad."

Not only was there a new survivor who could possibly want to harm them, but walkers would be coming to the area soon. She could tell by Damian's expression that he was about to go on a rampage. Holly realized that she no longer had a shelter and no where to rest tonight now. She was so tired of running away. They had to move on though, so she had to run. ""I guess we can't sleep their anymore,"" she told the others. Holly could hear growling in the distance. In a paranoid manner, she started to ramble quick ideas on what to do next. ""Damian you need to get your supplies. Then we need to get out of here. Maybe we could go inside a man hole and take the sewers as a safe path. Or go back on the roof.""

When Damian easily took care of a walker, Rob couldn't help but be amused that he was next to a guy who had two swords. Damian seemed not amused at the fact that a bit of the blood got on his shirt,<i> I bet he misses Dry-cleaning </i>. Rob suddenly tensed as he heard a gunshot. Rob quickly followed Damian, also being just in time to see the Raiders. Rob silently cursed underneath his breath. He gave a quick glance to Holly to see that she was keeping pace. It was pretty damn obvious that Damian was angry, of course Rob would be angry as well.<i> His current home is being raided, who wouldn't be furious about that. </i>However, he could hear that there were people in the church, was Damian going to ambush him.

Jessalyn, goes by Jess apparently, but that didn't entitle her to learn his name yet. If he told them his name, that would mean he would be one step closer to uniting with them, an action he didn't yet know if he wanted to take. Floyd felt that the girl was too trusting, she didn't even question herself before acting upon her will. He understood her situation - she had a child and needed to take care of it - but survival was given to the fittest. There wasn't good people out there anymore, everyone changed. Good people became animals, regardless how pure they were. But this girl, this innocence, was it an exception to Floyd's belief?<br/><br/>Then Jess offered her food and shelter to the strangers, including Floyd himself. ""What about your friend? Don't you think you should consult with her before you give away your stuff? She's been gone for a while by the way, aren't you worried about her?"" Floyd asked as he turned towards the direction Lynn had gone off too. It had definitely been a while since she left them. In secondly, who the heck just abandons her group member and leaves them with a bow-wielding redneck? People just weren't sane anymore. Maybe she just lay her burdens on somebody else, ditching the pregnant woman in order to increase her chances of survival. After all, that would have been the smartest thing to do.<br/><br/>Floyd then started to walk in that direction, prepared to head back into the city. ""Keep your food, you need it more than me. I can do just fine on my own"" he stated as he began to walk away. As much as his heart was telling him to stay, his mind and conscious was forcing him to walk away. He lived by the code of lonesome and pride. He wasn't alive because he begged for help or had people aid him, he was alive because of his own personal strength. ""Good luck"" he finished as his boots brushed through the green grass and the overwhelming heat of the sun.<br/><br/>He was going back to the city to not only get supplies, but in search of another vehicle. Since his stolen bike died, he needed some other form of transportation. There was no possible home anymore. One must always be on the move in order to survive, it was basically a law. Settling down in one location was impossible, it always ended badly, regardless how good one thinks they have it. Eventually, everything rots to hell, just like the world they currently roam."

Walking away from the girl he found the water and carried a small amount into the carriage she had mentioned before grabbing some towels as well. One for him to sleep on later and another or the girl now.

It wasn't difficult to track because they were implemented in the grass, making the debris easy to follow. He started tracking down whatever made the trail, but was already sure who it was. It had to be that lady who was with the breeder he just abandoned. His intention was to leave those people alone, but now he wondered why she would head into the city, into the fired shots. ""Dammit girl!"" he murmured to himself quite loudly, irritated by the decision he was about to make.<br/><br/>He was going to go to the city eventually, but had intentions to enter the city from another angle. He didn't want to encounter those shots from earlier, but it was too late now since he already began to follow the trail. He looked at the ground closely, making sure he didn't lose the track. Suddenly, the setting changed as a suburb began to form before him. That suburb would then be overrun by urbanization and industries, forming a giant city. It was no longer possible to follow the girl's tracks because they had vanished in the streets, but what remained was the noise and walkers heading in a certain direction.<br/><br/>Floyd hid inside an open house as he watched out the window as about ten to fifteen walkers headed into the interior of the city. He was certain the bullets from earlier were calling them. It was an empty city free of noise, so a single sound would echo like the sound of a jukebox. Therefore, silently, Floyd followed the walkers, heading towards the bullet sounds, knowing that's where the breeder's friend had vanished to. Sooner or later they would meet yet again, though they didn't really speak back at the train yard.<br/><br/>After about two miles of travel, Floyd could hear the ruckus for himself. The walkers were headed straight for the entrance of what seemed to be a church. Since he moved at a decent rate, he seemed to have caught up to the girl, because he could see her to his right. The blonde hid behind a nearby building, but her gun was like a speckle of glitter. It's metal was shining rapidly, reflecting the sun's rays. With a crouch, Floyd hid behind a car a few feet from her. She still didn't notice him because of her high and intense focus on the church. Therefore, in order to prevent from getting shot, he gave the small beetle a nice knock on the side of the door to alert the girl of his presence. Whenever she noticed him, he gave a small gesture to tell her he was going to move next to her. And he did. With the same crouch, Floyd stayed away from not only the walker's field of vision, but the people in the church as well.<br/><br/>""What the hell are you doing here girl?"" he whispered to her with an attitude. ""You tryin' to leave you friend, your burden behind on me or somethin'? Well newsflash lady, I ain't nobody's bitch! Your friend ain't my problem. You're the one that's supposed to be watching over her, not me! Not that doctor either! So how bout' you get back there and get out of here before you get yourself shot. Go! Get out of here! Am I the only sane person around here?"" he whispered fairly loud, pushing her arm aside, trying to force her to leave. She wasn't only jeopardizing her own life, but the child's life as well. Floyd didn't understand why he cared for it, it wasn't his. For some odd reason, innocence was his weakness. One day, that would cause his downfall."

She felt the wound on her arm throb, reminding her that it would be her companion for a while. Suddenly it occurred to her: What if, when she found other survivors, they thought the wound was a bite? Would they shoot her? Emma felt reluctant to move towards the idea of the people she was hoping to come in contact with... No, they couldn't possibly be that ignorant. She would tell them the truth; she gashed her arm while climbing a chain fence.<i>Well let's hope that they believe me...</i>She dropped onto the metal rinds of the tracks and sat down, sliding off her rucksack. She looked in and observed the contents.<br/><br/>She had a knife, a bottle of water, some aspirin, a roll of duct tape, and a diminishing bandage roll. Emma removed the bandage roll and the knife, zipping the bag again. She wearily brought her arm to her chest, unwrapping the bandage. She grimaced with a slightly audible ""Ah!"", discarding the bandage and throwing it to the side. Emma placed the end of the roll over the wound and wrapped it until the cut was completely covered and severed the end loose with her knife. After securing the bandage, she replaced the roll in the bag and stood, keep her knife in her left hand. Though she was right handed, the gash made the process of raising her arm painful.<br/><br/>She continued to walk for about five minutes, then stopped as she heard a commotion on her right, away from the tracks. She looked over toward the chain-link fence, at a small, drab concrete building. It was in disrepair and the fence had a large gap in front of the building. She slowly took a step forward, clenching her knife in her hand. She moved closer, making her way to, and then through the gap in the fence. It was large, easy for someone three times her size to get through. She moved toward the door, inexpertly wielding her knife. Before she stepped in she saw it; a walker. He was about six feet tall, and fall large in size.<i>Just one walker... I'm alright...</i>However, two more emerged into view to join the first. She couldn't help the loud cry the pierced her lips, as she doubled backwards, running towards the tracks. Emma slipped and almost fall on the gravel. The walkers were close behind. The two weren't as close, but they trailed right behind their buddy. She put on a burst of speed, drawing upon all of her stamina.<br/><br/>To her left, another walker came from a building just ahead of her. She passed it, the infected's hand grazing her shoulder. In front of her, she could barely make out three figures. Loosing her focus, she slipped, her foot hooking onto one of the rungs of the tracks. Another cry escaped her lips as she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. The newly joining walker was close. She looked towards the three figures and yelled at the top of her lungs. ""Help!"""

With a quick thrust, Floyd pierced the first walker through the back of the skull, penetrating the blade through the brain, causing the soulless corpse to fall motionless. The thud the collapse caused, called forth other walkers around it to focus on Floyd, rather than the gunshots.<br/><br/>Without hesitation, Floyd pushed another walker down to the ground, jumped on it, and stabbed it directly in the face about three times, ending its 'life'. He noticed three other walkers heading towards him as well, but unlike the two he just killed, these were at a decent range where he could either shoot with his arrow, or just run passed them. He turned back to Lynn. ""C'mon, I ain't got all day!"" he called out as he started to jog towards the side of the church where the gunshots were loud and clear. It seemed that there was crossfire between the raiders and another group. So Floyd was going through all this trouble to help yet another person, stupid redneck.<br/><br/>He then peaked through the tinted window. Church windows were always so damn glamorous that one couldn't really see much through them. They always had these images and colors that made them like art rather than a window - what they're actually supposed to be. Floyd wasn't really religious, he was somewhat a deist. He believed there was a creator, a god, but didn't think much of him. He never prayed, never really got him anywhere. His life was shit regardless he did it or not. Father and mother absent, best friend absent, he was just alone all the damn time, not even the community priest wanted him around, he was 'trouble' as the white trash called him. Anyhow, all one could see through the window was shadows moving left and right. Without turning he spoke, surely Lynn was beside him by now. ""We gonna have to get in there. There should be a door through the back, if not, we'll just flank them. I can go through the front door, you can just start shootin' from here"" he suggested. This was now a life and death situation. If he died here, it would be obvious that God was never on his side from birth. When you die in the house of God, it's obvious where your going."

I believe James's are specialties."" It was a bit stupid of James to make jokes out of those types of things, but jokes were what raised people's spirits and made them laugh. Well, only if they are good jokes. ""Jokes aside, which way do you want to go? That way..."" He pointed one way down the street. ""Or that way?"" James moved his finger to point down the other end of the street. ""Left or right, fast or slow, reckless or cautious? I should stop, or else you'll be thinking I'm crazy. Which I'm not.""

Shannon didn't even crack a smile. It was not that she didn't appreciate the attempt at humor, but she was in no mood for any of that so soon after Lexi. ""No jokes until we know we are safe,"" she said, perhaps a bit more harshly than she intended.<br/><br/>When James asked about their direction, Shannon shrugged and pulled a compass out of her backpack. She attempted a smile now, hoping to smooth over her previous words. ""I don't think you're crazy,"" she said, holding out the compass to show her new companion. ""How about West for now?"" West was basically left, so Shannon started walking in that direction. ""And for the record, slow and cautious.""<br/><br/>Shannon spied a large number of shops lining the street. She hoped they would find a more suburban part of the city eventually. Having only arrived in New Orleans a few days ago, Shannon knew very little of the city. Even before the outbreak, Shannon hadn't even visited the state of Louisiana before. She had lived her entire life in New York before moving to that backwater town in Arkansas. When shit started hitting the fan, her and Danny had attempted to make their way to New York but had gotten separated somewhere in Nashville. Since then, Shannon had drifted slowly South. A few of the groups she had been with had expressed an interest in finding a boat along the coastline, so that had eventually become Shannon's plan too. With Lexi, Shannon had hoped to settle in New Orleans a bit before seriously looking for transportation across water, but of course that plan had gone to shit. Now with someone else, Shannon had no idea what to do from here.<br/><br/>""I was wondering,"" she said, eyeing James' knife. ""Have you used that knife much? I mean, do you know how to fight?"""

I only killed one walker with the knife, but it was trapped by itself. I usually just run."" He blushed a bit at Shannon, then turned his eyes on the street, looking between shops in case there were walkers lurking within them. It was unusually quiet, like a switch had been thrown to mute the world. James glanced back up at Shannon. ""So, what about you? Have you used<i>your</i>weapons? Have<i>you</i>had to fight yet?"""

He wasn't one for courtesy or gentleness where everyone but his sister was concerned so he cut away the sleeve of the girl's jacket without a care as to whether she wanted to save the jacket or not. He removed the makeshift bandages and got a good look at the cut. It wasn't bad, would leave a scar but otherwise it was just a flesh wound, that is if infection didn't settle in. He didn't have the tools to stitch her up, not that it was a priority task in saving the girl's arm since the gash was not deep enough that it demanded stitches but without them the scar that would form would be bulgy and noticeable.<br/><br/>With a towel wetted with alcohol he wiped away the dried blood avoiding the wound itself, once the wound's surrounding was cleaned. The next part was tricky and very painful, for her. He used his body to block her sight as he poured some of the alcohol into a tiny eight ounce plastic bottle and made a hole in the cap. Putting aside the bottle he prepped the bandages because he wanted to do the next part quickly and cleanly.<br/><br/>With a quick tug he forced the girl to either hold on to the table with her other arm or fall off, with the other hand occupied and her arm outstretched Aleck quickly grabbed the bottle and blasted her wound with alcohol. He couldn't afford to be gentle, there was grime and dried blood within the gash, if any of it was infected with zombie blood she would turn, he needed to wash it out. With a towel he wiped away the loosened contaminants and excess alcohol.

I can't let him find her,"" she finished, not sure of how much to tell them.<br/>Jess looked down at her stomach, then at the doctor. ""I don't want to put my baby in danger, but Lynn is my friend.

All she had to do was nail them in the skull to kill them... well 're-kill' them.<br/>The gun shots seemed to be coming from the large church. If there were guns Lynn was likely in the middle of it.

Through the tinted window remained the shadows, this time, absent any movement. Floyd watched with care until suddenly, out if nowhere, another shot blasted through the echoing cathedral. All one could see from Floyd's perspective was the fall if a human shadow. It seemed a raider either shot the enemy, or one of their own. Floyd had yet to encounter a raider till now.<br/><br/>After verbal exchange, it seemed the raiders were not satisfied with what they found. The small group fragmented out the creaking doors, escaping the incoming hoard of walkers. All this shots were like a dinner bell for the undead. The whole city was coming to the soup kitchen known as United Methodist Church. And it was clear these creatures were heading there, Floyd could see them clearly at a distance. The issue was, if he jumped out there now, the raiders would return fire, even though they weren't the targets.<br/><br/>As the raiders took leave, Lynn seemed to have decided to join Floyd's side. ""Bout' time you showed up"" he said, arming his bow in the meantime. And now was where the real issue began. An entire load of walkers started to overrun the church's general area. Lynn called out as she started to fire her pistol, hopefully not wasting too many bullets. As much as Floyd wanted to fire, there was no way all the walkers present would get taken down, regardless the arsenal.<br/><br/>Without time wasted, Floyd turned around, taking Lynn by the arm. ""We gotta get outta here! There's too many, we can't take them all!"" He yelled over the moans and groans echoing through the city. The sound was horrifying yet simultaneous and harmonious. It was as though a walking dead a Capella group from Hollywood took the stage known as Louisiana hell hole. As much as Floyd wanted to fight back, he knew the situation called for an escape. ""C'mon! We gotta get your friend and get away from here!""<br/><br/>The victims of the church would have to fend for themselves, there was no time or possibility of helping them. The only way those people could get our now was through the back door of the church, assuming it had one ofcourse. That exit would lead to the next street on the other side of the suburbs. Only way Floyd and Lynn could meet up with the survivors is if they both headed towards the intersection heading to the tracks. For Floyd and Lynn, that was the only exit out. The hoard blocked the entire stree, basically making it a one-way.<br/><br/>Without wasting any arrows, Floyd put his bow aside and started jogging in the direction if the railroad tracks. He had his knife in hand just in case walkers decided to jump out if the houses nearby. Hopefully that bike he had parked would start again. It must have been a filtering issue, it was fixable but would take some time. Since it stood for a couple hours, it should start right up, but won't last too long unless the filter is changed along with some plugs. Hopefully it wasn't a transmission issue, because as of now, that would be unfixable."

She forced herself not to strike out and stop him; he was doing her a favor, instead she painfully gritted her teeth, while letting only a small cry escape her lips.

He couldn't hurt this girl, his sister needed a companion and it was rare finding girls close to her age among the living, the last one he had found had been caught by a group of raiders. He had killed the group but had incidentally gotten the girl caught in the crossfire. She was shot in the stomach and thigh, the thigh was just a flesh wound but the shot to the stomach had been from a shotgun, the internal damage was too severe, so he lopped off her head so she wouldn't turn.

He wanted more guns than the two magnum pythons strapped on his body. He decided to take a quick peek in the direction of the church and found that the raiders were leaving. There were a butt-load and a half of walkers around the church by now but at least there were no raiders, this was going to be his only chance in a very long while to acquire more guns, all the gun stores and depots had been raided in the early days by the stronger groups.<br/><br/>""Here,"" he handed the girl a walkie-talkie, he set it to the proper channel.

The only reason he's taking Jessalyn is because he was promised a favor in return. But now the problem began. Was he going to be asked to also take this girl with him?

She had been on high alert, her eyes fixating rapidly on the slightest movement in the area. A torn piece of paper, a plastic bag, and now a monster. She kept her eyes on the slow-moving creature, her right hand reaching behind her. With a grace benefited by practice, Shannon smoothly pulled out her knife from its backpack pocket. ""Don't be scared,"" she whispered, handing James the police baton. Shannon wouldn't need it for just one guy. ""Just keep your voice down.""<br/><br/>She walked toward the monster, her stride quick and confident. Her eyes darted from side to side to check if there were more around, but the coast appeared to be clear. As the 'walker' realized she was there, it turned on her, its glassy-eyed gaze staring right through her. When she was steps away from the creature, it made a sort of<i>hiss</i>ing noise and lunged toward her. Gritting her teeth, Shannon's arm plunged upward, the knife she was holding sliding smoothly into the walker's head. It died quickly, its body going limp. With a grunt, Shannon pulled out her knife and wiped it on her jacket. The walker fell at her feet.<br/><br/>Turning around, Shannon gave James a grin. See? She could do this. ""Wait, James..."" Shannon's grin died on her face as she saw more monsters appear behind James, coming from the road they had just turned off of. One, two, three... Shit! Shannon started running toward James. ""Get back,"" she said, running up to him and grabbing her police baton back. ""Get back!"" She started pulling on James' arm, wanting to put as much difference between her and them. Her face grim, Shannon watched as the monsters continued to pour out on to the street. ""This is a time to run."""

He got jerked backward as Shannon pulled on his arm, and he started to run, his face completely filled with fear. ""Run, run, run, run..."" James whimpered to himself. The boy turned his head to look behind him, looking at the walkers that walked, crawled and literally skipped to him and Shannon. As his head turned back to face where he was running to, James tripped over his own foot and scraped his knee on the ground. ""Ow,"" He whimpered, attempting to get back up quickly only to end up back on the ground. ""It hurts."" He stated the obvious. He looked back at the walkers, which were still a bit away.

She tucked the police baton in her pants and pumped her feet, her eyes fixated on the road ahead. She didn't dare look back, even to check on James, but a small cry of<i>""ow""</i>made her skid to a stop and spin around. To her dismay, James had tripped. Her eyes darted from the approaching monsters, to the fallen James, and back to the monsters again. A lump caught in Shannon's throat and for a split-second, her vision doubled. James became Lexi, and then he became Danny. One by one, Shannon saw so many of the people that had disappeared from her life.<i>No!</i><br/><br/>Shouting, Shannon ran toward James and pulled out her gun. By the time she reached him, two walkers were practically on top of him. Shannon lifted her pistol and shot the first one in the head, its brain matter splattering all over the second walker. Crouching low beside James, Shannon aimed her pistol at the second walker and fired again, her shot managing only to clip the walker's ear. It was undeterred by the attack. It leaned down, placing a hand on Jame's leg and moaning wildly. Shannon cursed as she jumped into a shove and smashed into the walker. Its body wobbled on crouched legs and fell over backwards, almost comically. Dropping her gun, Shannon took her knife in both hands and plunged it into the monster's head.<br/><br/>""Oh my god,"" Shannon managed to say between deep breaths. She hastily picked up her gun. ""Are you okay? We have to keep running."" She held out a hand."

As in, he was completely frozen up, his skin completely pale.<i>Come on, now isn't the time...</i>He mentally shook himself, blinking rapidly and quickly taking a look around him. The first thing he noticed was the dead walkers at his feet, and the steadily gaining troop of walkers in the distance. James then looked at Shannon, whom asked if he was okay. “N-no.” He answers. “My leg is sore, and I’m scared to the core. This place is horrible, yet I’m still adorable. Okay, now is not the time for rhyming.” James takes Shannon’s hand, and tries to stand, only to groan in pain.<br/><br/>Frowning, Shannon gripped his hand tightly. No, it wasn’t the time, but she decided not to say anything. When the boy groaned, Shannon looked back toward the walkers anxiously. “Please tell me you can stand,” she said, crouching down to her knees. She shoved her knife back into her pack and placed one arm underneath James. “I’m going to try lifting you so you can stand.” Her voice was calm, a feat even she was surprised about. “Then you’re going to have to lean on me.” Slowly unstretching her legs, Shannon started to lift James, one arm around his torso and the other gripping his hand.<br/><br/>“I’ll try.” James answers Shannon. As she lifts him up, James pushes on his knees and raises himself up. The second he stands straight, he leans on Shannon. Glancing behind him, his eyes widen. The walkers were literally ten steps away from them. “If we don’t move, we’ll be zombie food.” James starts to walk with the help of Shannon. He points down the street, to where he sees no walkers. “That way!”<br/><br/>Her arm around James’ shoulder, Shannon could feel her adrenaline soaring. Her hand squeezed around his arm, likely causing pain. Shannon barely noticed, her attention only on taking step after step. She could practically feel the putrid breath of the monsters on her neck no matter how fast she pulled James along. She knew they were no faster than the average walker in this condition, and the reality was that some walkers had moments of unbelievable speed. “We’ll turn right up here, and then-” Shannon’s voice cut off when she spotted a man bursting out of the bushes. She was about to call out to him for help when he aimed a rifle at her and James. Panicking, Shannon fumbled out her gun with her free hand and shot wildly in the direction of their new threat. The man ducked back into the bushes, only to be replaced with yet another attacker. This one looked like a giant, a big bushy brown beard taking up the majority of his face. He had a shotgun.<br/><br/>As James ran with Shannon, his arm started hurting slightly from the way that her hand was squeezing it. He said nothing, though, just focused on his footing. He looked up in time to see that Shannon had fired at a man with a rifle, whom had ducked down after the shot was fired. As a second man with a shotgun popped up, James reached his spare hand (as one was around Shannon so the support was not so awkward) behind his back and pulled out his knife, quickly throwing it at the man. The knife managed to the man, but it hit hilt first. The man ducked down, and James whispered, “Run, run, run…”<br/><br/>Shannon thanked James inside her head for saving her a bullet. With the two men momentarily distracted, Shannon abruptly cut to the left, pulling James toward an alley. She normally would never use an alley as an escape from walkers, as it was almost always a tight fit. Just about anything could go wrong in cramped locations. Of course, this was one fucked up situation.<i>Please, please, please…</i>she repeated inside her head. As they neared the alley, a third man appeared off to the side. Shannon was ready for this one as she smoothly fired her gun in his direction. This one didn’t get scared like the others and shot back. His shot went wide, though it pushed Shannon into a burst of speed, essentially dragging James along with her.<br/><br/>As James limped into the alley with Shannon, he took a glance behind him at the two men, who were starting to follow them into the alley. Not just because they started something and wanted to finish it, but because of the flood of walkers that had continued to follow behind. Unfortunately, for them, the walkers put on a sudden burst of speed, claiming both of the men in a flurry of flailing arms. The pair could be heard screaming as the disappeared from James’ view. As they ran through the alley, a third man appeared and shot at Shannon and James. The boy’s arm suddenly got jerked as Shannon put on a burst of speed, and James was forced to follow as fast as he could. The man pursued as walkers started to put into the alley like water.<i>Please, please, I don’t want to die,</i>he thought fearfully in his head.<br/><br/>The hobbling pair stumbled over some discarded trash, but managed to stay on their feet. Shannon pulled James closer, looking back to check on the man still pursuing them. He seemed more concerned with the walkers coming in from behind, but Shannon fired off another shot in his direction anyway. The man cursed and stumbled over the same bit of trash. He fell to his feet and Shannon turned her attention back to getting out of the damned alleyway. As she lead James out on to a new street, she heard the man behind them swearing loudly.She didn’t look back, only turned to the right and continued down the road. “There could be more,” she said, as explanation why they weren’t slowing down. She soon spotted railroad tracks in the distance, and a building nearby that looked sturdy and defensible. “Here,” she said, grimly. They entered the building and Shannon dropped off James to begin barring the door. There were desks and filing cabinets scattered around the main floor, indicating it had once probably been an office space. Once she felt the door was safely barred, Shannon collapsed to the floor. “... Wait here, I’ll take a look outside.” Pausing for only a few seconds, Shannon got back up to her feet and headed upstairs. James simply just sat in a chair and put his feet on a desk, trying to relax but at the same time tried to watch the entrance.<br/><br/>Snaking around discarded furniture, Shannon went to one of the second floor windows. The glass was broken out, and Shannon aimed her gun out the hole as she scanned the horizon. She spotted a group standing on the railroad tracks nearby, though she couldn’t quite tell if they were looking in her direction. Her immediate thought was that the men who had attacked her was from this group. They were certainly close enough, and looked well armed. Besides, Shannon knew she couldn’t take any chances now. Gritting her teeth, she fired on the group, using up her remaining two shots. She then ducked down and fished through her backpack for more ammo. She only had one clip left. Seventeen shots. She doubted it would be enough."

Polyester hopped onto the bike and rode it a few yards, only to fall off. Polyester got back up and tried again, this time riding successfully. He passed some walkers stumbling around a farmers market, which took notice of him. After what seemed like 10 minutes, he catched up with the survivors, who seemed to be in some sort of conflict.

That 'sound' then clashed against the surface of the dirt beneath him, sinking into the core. ""Shit!"" Floyd murmured as his teeth grinned fiercely. His muscles tensed a little as the gunfire continued. He was on a black two thousand thirteen Tha Heist, which was very odd, because that was not the bike he had parked there when he first escaped the city. He had been riding a Yamaha Triumph. It seemed somebody must havee traded bikes, taking the Triumph and leaving this one behind. Thankfully, the key was still in the ignition, leaving would be no problem.<br/><br/>Suddenly, aside from the gunfire, a hand grasped Floyd's arm. It was the child bearer trying to take him off the bike, all in attempt to protect him. It had been an unexpected touch that he had jumped a little from the collision. As Lynn returned fire, Floyd got off the bike and picked Jessalyn off the ground like a child. ""Were going kid, like it or not!"" he growled at her, forcing her on the bike, getting on right after her. He turned the throttle and a burst of dark smoke blasted from the muffler. He turned back to face Lynn, hopefully she would understand what he thought from mere eye contact.<br/><br/>Without further hesitation, the bike started rushing through the grassland passing up all the train cars. ""We'll continue until I feel were far enough to be safe!"" Floyd called out to Jess, making sure she heard him over the intense wind hitting their faces. The gas on the bike was low, probably the reason it was abandoned. ""Dammit, at this rate we wont make it to the next town"" he thought to himself. He looked at the side mirror and could see Jessalyn's reflection, the fear she deeply felt could be seen on her face. ""Calm down girl, they'll be alright!"" he called out once more, trying to calm her down. He lied to himself by saying he'd done it to stabilize the bike, but he calmed her down because...........................................<br/><br/>After a speeding journey, Floyd decided to stop as the nearby trees started to get condensing. It seemed they were closer and closer to the center of the forest. They were still near the tracks, but soon enough, they would be surrounded by trees, which in this case, was sort of dangerous. They wouldn't be able to tell a tree from a walker. He turned the ignition off for the moment as he began to think. He grunted from frustration. ""Get off"" he commanded as he also did the same. After Jess did as he commanded, he started rolling the bike aside towards the forest. ""We'll have to camp in the woods for the night. I wan't to get a camp set up before it gets too dark. You stay here while I go in the woods and get everythin' set up, got it?"" he asked, not waiting for a response. With those finalizing words, Floyd started for the dark and empty landscape. His body then camouflaged with the trees and was no longer visible. Only the motorcycle remained with Jessalyn, not even the keys were on it though, so she wouldn't leave with it. He gave her no other option but to wait, but would he return? The entire group had now been dispersed."

For the moment he was more preoccupied with the safety of the young girl he had bandaged just moments ago.<br/><br/>""Get to some cover!"" He yelled at the young girl before racing towards the houses, since he was out of sight of the attacker he was able to run without ducking, Aleck dropped his pack after roughly retrieved the rifle pieces and loaded the gun taking an extra clip, the stock was an easy clip on type and he had practice with reloading guns so with swift motions of his hands he had the rifle battle worthy in mere seconds.<br/><br/>He thought about using his body and jacket to protect the girl but he valued his safety above hers and the firing had been short so there seemed to be a momentary ceasefire either from a pause to evaluate the situation or the reloading of guns. Once in sight of where he believed the attacker to be he fired, unloading four of the six 9mm rounds from the revolver that had been in his pocket, in that direction to keep the attacker down long enough to get within site of the target.<br/><br/>""Stop shooting!"" he demanded of the person in the building. ""We can resolve this peacefully, shoot again and I will assume that, that is your only and official response!""<br/><br/>He wasn't worried about the people to his back, if the man had proffered to run rather than fight then it could only mean that he had no confidence in his group of winning the gun fight. He was also not worried about the group, if that was what it even was, in front of him. After the initial shooting of what sounded like two low caliber rounds the firing had stopped, either the rounds had been a scare tactic or there was only one shooter with low ammo. He hoped it was the latter, he did not want to risk his life fighting an armed group.<br/><br/>He scanned the windows ready to spring to any of them and unload three round controlled bursts. Since he had no idea where exactly the attacker was he had to rely on his reflexes for victory.<br/><br/>An eerie thought crossed his mind, could this group be a stalker killer group? He had fought a few, but he had done the reverse stalking having spotted them first, it was why he hated moving in anything larger than solo. It made it easier to get spotted and in consequence, killed. Those kinds of groups cared only about killing, raping, and robbing. There was no talking and no surrender. The reason for the thought was the fact that the attacker had spoken no warning or demand, and had in fact elected to not speak at all. The only thing that kept him from feeling dreadfully sure that this was a stalker killer group was the fact that while those kinds of groups killed they tended to taunt and wear down the mind with psychological attacks to provoke fear and irrational thought."

The man climbed out of the truck and went to the bed and retrieved his military rucksack, slinging it onto his shoulders. This was urban warfare, or even worse. Rarely in the army did Daniel ever encounter living corpses. He checked himself before moving to the corner of the building that blocked him from view of anyone at the train tracks. His M9 was strapped to his standard, army issued bulletproof vest. A combat knife was strapped to his thigh, and an M48 tactical tomahawk was clipped to the side of his bag. Daniel moved to the edge of the corner building, picking around. He spotted the group on the tracks; there were five, if he'd counted right. One had an assault rifle, most likely an M16. The assault rifle fired at a building down the street. A three round controlled burst; definitely an M16.<br/><br/>Daniel waited for the firing to cease, he looked straight at the building of target and sprinted a B-line to the back of it.

She tried to stand, to put up a stronger front in front of this stranger, but her exhaustion had finally caught up with her. She sniffed, leaning her head back against the wall. Her eyes closed, she listened to the man talk some nonsense about safety. She shook her head without thinking, starting to become a bit confused. What was this guy talking about?<br/><br/>""Are you not with those people outside?"" she managed to ask. She opened her eyes, finally taking in the man standing before her. He was certainly older than she was. He looked tall, handsome, and fit. He seemed to be studying her intently, almost judging her. Not in a rude way, but in a way a scientist would examine a formula. He looked a little rough around the edges, but there was something about his poise and demeanor that made Shannon feel slightly more at ease."

He stepped back towards the stairs. ""However, we have to hurry before those people on the tracks get to us."" The girl seemed scared, but more relaxed than before.

She had went out of her way to not try and catch it, even though she realized it was a pretty meaningless act of defiance. Her eyes met Daniel's as she stuffed the spare ammo in her pack. ""Keep away from the window, James,"" she said, gathering the energy to lift herself to her feet. The guys were right about having to move quickly, but Shannon felt sluggish and gross. She adjusted her belongings as fast as she could, though it was a monumentally slow process to anyone watching her. She stuffed the police baton in her backpack and shrugged it on. She kept the gun held tightly in her hands.<br/><br/>""Okay then, Daniel.""<i>Daniel.</i>It bugged her that this guy's name was Daniel. That was Danny's name, and a childish part of Shannon didn't want anyone else to have it. The man before her simply wasn't<i>her</i>Daniel. ""My name's Shannon.""

Shannon paused for a moment to gather herself before gently pushing James ahead of her. She took a glancing look back toward the broken window and followed the pair downstairs. There was very little to assure her that Daniel didn’t mean to harm them once they were out of here, but there was no way around it now.<br/><br/>James followed closely behind Daniel, knife in hand. “Um, exactly how far did you park the truck?” He walked down the stairs, glancing behind him at Shannon with a look on his face that literally said;<i>Are we really going to do this?</i>Looking back in front of him, he saw the exit door, along with a walker that had apparently walked it’s way in front of it. “Walker,” James whispered.<br/><br/>Daniel raised his pistol level with the walker’s head as it turned around and gnashed its decaying teeth. He fired a single round and put the walker on the floor, proceeding to the half-opened exit door. Precariously, the man pushed through the door quickly checking left and right side to make certain no danger lurked outside. He moved with practiced feet to the corner of the building, peeking his head out and looking towards the railroad. Albeit no shots were fired, the group was still at their spot. “Get ready to run when I say go.” He raised his hand and counted down. Three… two… one… “Go!” He waved his hand forward to motion their advance.<br/><br/>Shannon hunched over James protectively. “Okay,” she said into his ear, pushing him into a run. Together, they ran to the nearby truck, crouched low in case of gunfire. When they hit the truck, Shannon threw open one of the back doors. “In!” she commanded, to which James complied without word. She then moved to circle around the truck, stopping momentarily to look back toward Daniel. She realized then that he had been right behind them the whole time, as she was staring at him in the face. She nodded her head toward the truck before wordlessly getting into the seat next to James.<br/><br/>Daniel quickly turned the key, which he’d left in the ignition, and shifted gears to drive. He drove forward, firmly tapped the brake, and veered a sharp left turn, doubling back onto the street from which he’d come. Gripping the headrest of the seat in front of her, Shannon felt her heart leap into her throat as the trucked veered sharply to the left. She closed her eyes and waited for the ride to smooth out. Leaning forward, she breathed heavily into the headrest.<br/><br/>He kept on the road from which he’d come. “Sorry about that, buddy.” He turned right onto another street. “Do you guys have anywhere in mind? If not, I do,” he said, glancing behind him. Before he turned his eyes back to the road, he noticed that James had tucked against Shannon, looking a little scared.<br/><br/>Shannon couldn’t answer Daniel right away, only responding by turning her head slightly toward James, who was now tucked in beside her. She wanted to smile at that, but it felt like her heart was splitting in two. “Are you okay?” she asked.<br/><br/>James looked up at Shannon’s face, and shook his head slightly. “I-I saw some walkers while we were running earlier,” the boy stuttered, looking like he is going to explode in sadness. “A-and, a-and…” He swallowed deeply, and started to shiver. “T-two of them, l-looked like my parents.” James erupted into tears.<br/><br/>Shannon stared; she didn’t question if James had been mistaken, didn’t even bother to pacify him. She simply didn’t have the energy. Hugging him closer, Shannon lifted her head to finally answer Daniel. “Just drive us wherever you want,” she said, her voice exhausted. Leaning back into the headrest, Shannon felt something rise in the pit of her stomach. She swallowed, trying to abate the feeling, but it came regardless. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She was finally mourning for Lexi, and maybe just about everyone else who had left her. Her sobs were nearly silent, a valiant effort, but they were sobs nonetheless.<br/><br/>Daniel absently heard the two in mourning, he’d think them foolish had he not understood exactly what they felt like. His voice interrupted the silence. “Every one of those walkers used to be somebody… but they aren’t more. They’re just empty shells…”<br/><br/>“Bastard,” James cried out suddenly. “You really think that?” He turned his head to look at Daniel. Tears were streaming down from his eyes like a waterfall. “They can’t be like that. They can’t.” James swallowed hard. “It’s like vampires. Their personalities are still there! They’re not gone!” Even the boy himself knew he was telling rubbish, but he couldn’t stop himself.<br/><br/>Daniel pulled the car to a sudden stop. He turned his head to look the boy in the eyes. “No. They’re gone.” He turned back to the road and driving. “Trust me… I put a bullet in my girlfriend’s head.”<br/><br/>“I’ve been on my own for, I don’t even know anymore! I lost everything! I’ve got nothing left!” James cried, his eyes staring straight into Daniel’s eyes like lasers.<br/><br/>“You’ve got Shannon. No, you’re not alone. As far as I know, everyone one of my relatives is dead. You’ve got to grow up and realize what this world is now.” And with that he discussed with him no further.<br/><br/>James simply turned away from Daniel, and instead, nuzzled his head against Shannon, crying loudly to himself.<i>’You’ve got to grow up and realize what this world is now.’ I already know what this world is. It’s hell on earth.</i>"

Dog tags, eight of them, jingling in her pocket as she moved, reminding her that not even the might of the governments forces could have helped prevent what was to come. She'd been there for many of them, seen them dye. Either by turning themselves or being dragged away and consumed by those abominations. A friend of hers, Naomi was shot down by the very gun which was strapped to her back, another weight to add to the building mass weighing upon her mind. ""Keep moving"", that's what she needed to do, that's what she told herself was necessary to ensure she lived for their sake. She looked up ahead, spotting a promising looking building before making her way towards it, being sure to check around her as she made a quick run at it. She stopped as she reached the side, falling to a low crouch before peering through a window between the boards which had obviously been placed to prevent the walkers getting in. It looked empty, but safe... and safe meant a place to rest.<br/><br/>Picking herself up she moved around the back of the building, looking up to see a window which hadn't been boarded, likely an escape route should the walkers manage to get inside. The window overlooked a shelter with support beams, likely where the previous owner would have stored stuff to keep it from the rain. Taking a last look around she took a few steps back before she run and jumped, catching the edge of the shelter before pulling herself up and onto it, quickly moving to the window before smashing it with her elbow. As she moved through it she found a metal grate which ran around the edge of the inside, presumably for mechanics to repair bigger vehicles. She pulled out her M9 and gave a quick survey of the area before she made her way down to the ground level, securing that it was safe before she finally allowed herself to relax a little. She took off her backpack and placed it against the wall before deciding to take a look around, see if there wasn't something she could salvage before she made herself a little camp."

He looked around for the girl until his eyes met her location. She had dozed off where she initially was told to remain. As Floyd started towards her, he noticed her condition. Her facial expression, the tears flowing down her cheeks, her body language - all these aspects gave her away. She was most definitely feeling the after effects of abandoning her friend, the after effects of living in the shit hole they currently roam.<br/><br/>Floyd walked up to her slowly, crouching to meet her. Without saying anything he took her by the arm and helped her stand. He looked at her for a couple of seconds, the wind behind them whistling in harmony. The silence was beautiful, regardless how lonesome it made the scene. Without anymore time wasted, Floyd headed towards his motorcycle, starting to push it further into the woods, heading towards camp. ""C'mon, it's gettin' dark"" Floyd said softly, his voice rasping neutrally.<br/><br/>After about three-fourths a mile, the two would reach the camp. Floyd set up a perimeter of string that had cans attached to it. This would make it easy to catch incoming walkers, or anyone for that matter. He left his bike outside if the perimeter, making sure he left it where an escape route was attainable. He marked trees with his trench knife so he would know the way back to the tracks. The cans had been filled with food, but in need of protection, he pull all the food into one single container, mixing the different soups, fruits, vegetables, meats, etc.<br/><br/>""Here, you go ahead and get some rest girl, I'll keep watch"" Floyd said without looking at her. He had handed her the only blanket he packed in his bag. The moon was already coming out and the sun had pretty much faded. It would be darker in the woods than it would have been near the tracks, but out there they were vulnerable able to any sort of attack, in the woods, it would most likely be only walkers. ""If you get hungry, here, you can have as much as you need"" he said, putting his mixed food container next to her.<br/><br/>Floyd then resumed by laying next to a tree by his bike, a few feet away from her.

She held out her gun, trying to match Daniel's poise, though just about anyone could probably catch her off guard in the state she was in.<br/><br/>When the door opened, Daniel caught sight of someone inside. They both yelled at each other, raising their weapons in an instant stand-off. Shannon snapped to attention, some of her tiredness melting away as she aimed her own gun at the figure.

He flipped the switch and the light flickered on, one after another, until the entire garage was lit.<br/><br/>The girl was tall, but still smaller than Daniel. He looked her over for a moment.

She adjusted her aim now she had a clearer line of sight as the man continued. So this was their home, which meant their reaction was justified and it did explain the rich amount of resources to be found here. She listened as he spoke further, motioning towards her M4.

Alexander ran to the truck and shouted, ""Let's get going before they eat us!"" and the group got in the truck and drove out of the parking lot, running few walkers over. They drove pass the railroad and into the woods, it seem that they drove for hours.<br/><br/>The night sky took over and Julia was still driving the car, tired and getting sleepy. Brandon said to her to pull over on the dirt road and let him drive, but Julia said no and kept driving. Quinn was still awake and said, ""Where are we going?"" and Julia said to Quinn, ""Until we see a camping ground, we aren't stopping."" and Quinn just said okay and kept his eyes open. She finally found a sign and smiled, ""We are here, now let's just get inside one of the cabins."" and she stopped the truck and walked to the nearest cabin of the truck and the dirt road, in case the cabin gets overrun by walkers. They broke into the cabin and found it untouched and they smiled as Brandon closed and he said, ""Alright, let's rest here and we got to go back to the city tomorrow and back here again, got it?"" and the group shook their head and started unpacking.

The top shelf was ammunition; a mixture of 4 clips worth of 9mm rounds, one box of 5.56 NATO cartridges(as he'd given the other box to Amelia), and a single case of 12 gauge shotgun shells, which made him suspect that at one time their was a shotgun in the building. The second shelf, which was twice the size of the top, held two full tanks of gas in case he couldn't get to more when he needed it.The bottom shelf held a safe, in which Daniel had found the 12 gauge shells, and a green hose for siphoning gas from cars.<br/><br/>Daniel closed the doors, assured that he made the right decision. Even if he'd made the wrong choice, Amelia had stashed her weapon, and she didn't have enough time to load the M4; meaning she would have to fight him by hand. He judged that his tactical tomahawk would easily deal damage, never mind the fact that he was almost twice her size. He was 6'5, and, last time he weighed, was 205 pounds, and he guessed Amelia was around 5'9 to 5'10, and not even close to 205 pounds. Daniel favored his chances and moved on.

She hit the clip release and loaded up the cartridges before stowing them on the ammunition loops located around her waist area. Normally she's slam one into the M4 and have it cocked and ready, but she guessed such a move wouldn't be welcomed by the two civilians in front of her. If she had to, her Combat knife was close by so at least she had that to rely on if she had to make a quick move. ""Well, I better get moving before the sun completely drops and I lose visibility. These glasses only help so much"" she said gesturing to the orange tinted shades which while not night vision, had a special tint which helped the retina of the eye focus the outline of objects.

And many more all from the moment they had to retreat from the first blockade. She could remember the roar of gunfire and how by each minute it became quieter save for the sounds of sputtering and gargling. She breathed a deep breath before considering it. She picked up her backpack and for a moment you could be certain she was about to walk away before she reached into it, pulling out two small black squares with a rubber loop, a tiny blue light coming to life on both as she pressed a small switch before turning them off again. ""If we're going to be working together, you'll want these. They're short range radios, got a good charge left in them too. I only have one charger so when they run dry we'll have to charge them all up together"" she said as she handed them over with her gloved hand. ""And yeah...

She then took out her food and drink items, some of which came from vending machines she'd smashed and others from grocery stores she'd risked.

He'd been looking for Emma for almost six months, since the very start of the outbreak, and now he'd finally found her... based on what he received from a fourteen-year-old boy...<br/><br/>He knew that driving at night was stupid, and that letting Shannon come might be a terrible idea. He moved quicker on his own, stealth was his friend when he was alone. Why had he even helped them in the first place?<i>Shut up, Daniel! You're being a brat, now just be glad you have Shannon's help!</i>He silently barked at himself. Why was this so difficult? He'd worked on a team before; he'd executed operations that were reserved for the elite of the US Army. He'd helped them because he was a soldier; because he was supposed to be a warrior for his country, and even in this apocalyptic state of the world, he was still endowed with the task of preserving what little was left of this country.<br/><br/>""You'll want to stay in the truck at first.

She was torn between being grateful he had gotten her out of there and pissed that he and Jess were alone together.

""But let's see if we can survive the next few minutes."" she cocked her gun and started shooting at the walkers heading their way.<br/><br/>There were so many she had trouble keeping track of them. Some were faster then others, some were crawling along the ground. A couple came from another direction and were on top of them before she knew it. As one came after her she jumped back and dodged, just missing the walker's arm.<br/>Unfortunately the doc was not so lucky. He tried to dodge one way and was grabbed by the ankles by a crawling walker.

It seemed she was frightened by him, as if he were a beast she was slowly approaching just for games. Then suddenly, she sat next to him, about a foot apart between their arms. Floyd didn't speak at all, he just stared at her as she continued to move in. Then she added words to her movements, asking the reason for his treatment towards her. She rambled about her feelings and how the world around her seemed to be limiting her or some shit.<br/><br/>Then it happened, she was so close to Floyd that her head came in contact with his shoulder. Her words roamed his mind as he felt her agony, agony that angered him. Floyd's conscious involuntarily used anger to block out other emotions that it did not comprehend. Floyd's entire life had been filled with nothing but agony, so this little interaction, this 'love' as this girl would call it, was bullshit. She didn't respect him, she was merely using him like she did that other guy. She gave him sex for protection, and now it seemed she was about to do the same with Floyd.<br/><br/>Without further ado, Floyd jumped as her head had laid there long enough. He busted into a stance as he looked at her with brows contracted with rage. ""Is that what you think of me? HuH? I saved ya damn life back there! I come here and give you a damn blanket and my food!"" he yelled. His voice echoing through the woods. The darkness had finally upraised. They were surrounded by complete and utter darkness, nothing in sight. ""And here you are askin' me why I hate you?"" He then rushed forward to the bowl of food he gave her and tossed it forcefully against a tree. ""You don't know nuthin' girl! You sit out here talkin' bout how rough you've got it, how alone you feel! I've never had friends! I never had someone take care of me like your friend Lynn! Nobody gave me nuthin', I faced the world on my own god dammit! I sure as hell never fucked someone cuz I felt alone! You don't shit about being alone!"" he growled as he walked side to side gasping for air.<br/><br/>He looked at the pitch black trees for a second as he regained his breath. He shoulders swayed up and down along with his torso. He then fell to the ground from exhaustion and vexation. His mind was clouded from the events that just barely unfolded. This girl did not understand the new world they lived in. She still felt like there was trustworthy people out there, but failed to notice how everyone changed after the virus spread. Nobody is who they were anymore and those that are - die. She was blind and Floyd could not comprehend. How could somebody continue to be who they are after what's happened? It just didn't make sense, yet this girl, Jessalyn, was an exception. She still breathed and was about to bare child yet she didn't change her ways, why?<br/><br/>But suddenly, that thought was laid to rest when sudden moans could be heard nearby their camp. Floyd quickly regained his balance and ran towards his bow, at the same time, picking up the girl by the arm, even if she pushed him away. Out of the darkness came two walkers lingered out, all running into the cans he set up earlier, tripping over the small string, yet still getting back up and reaching the two. ""Follow the marked trees back to the railroad and stay there till I find you! GO!"" Floyd commanded, pushing Jessayln towards the first marked trees. The events unfolded so quickly that he wasn't prepared for it, it was so unexpected. In addition to the three walkers that initially jumped from the dark, another four joined them. There wasn't even a second to think, only react. Floyd armed his bow and shot one of the walkers in the head, but did not have time to re-arm it once more. Without hesitation, he twisted his torso, taking his bow like a bat, and as he twisted, smashed the walkers brain, shattering through the skull, but eventually breaking his bow in two. That left five more walkers, or so he thought. It seemed that through that battle, more walkers had entered the arena, more than imagined. He could no longer keep count, so started to run to the left, away from the tracks, screaming and taunting the walkers as he sprinted. This was to have these parasites follow him instead of heading back to the tracks. But one can only run for so long, the walkers, forever. Ironically, the one alone was once again Floyd, into darkness."

Floyd raced through it though, facing it as if it were eternal. Not even his keen eyes could see through this shaded inferno, it seemed there was truly no end. He had battled against some of natures deformities, like needled branches and sharp rocks, cutting his legs and bare arms as he continued to burst through these woodlands. One couldn't decipher a tree from a walker or vice versa. There is no blooming sight in the pits of hell, but only eternal blindness. That was a quote his one benefactor had shared with him way before the apocalypse began. Since Floyd never argued the verdict of going to hell, the guy never did anything to prevent it. He'd done more bad things in his prime than he'd remember. But everything he did, right or wrong, was in order to ensure his survival. He didn't have regrets, not before, not now. So he continued to run, feeling the anxiety and his alienation by society. These walkers behind him were people before the virus spread. These people were the reason for his way of life, for his resentment and rage, for all his sin and misfortune, for the hatred shown towards him and his family.<br/><br/>It all started with his mother and her unfortunate decision. Floyd was who knows how old, but young. His mother and father would fight all the damn time, money this, money that. The farm needs upgrading, the farm needs to get burned down. It was like the bickering of an angel and a demon, or maybe, just two demons. One night, Floyd's mother never returned from her 'afternoon duties' as the father would call it. She was in charge of buying the groceries and food for the animals. They lived in a trailer, the farm was owned by Floyd's grandfather, who at the moment was very sick and needed help from his son - Floyd's father. Anyhow, that night, Floyd's mother never came home, not until the next morning where she was missing both the groceries and the money that was given to her in order to purchase them. ""Where the fuck is the food woman?!"" the father would yell. He looked like a walker at times, spit coming out his mouth like a tempest. And his eyes were always red, like a damn demon. Floyd always thought his father was possessed by Satan and wondered if he was a demon himself. The mother explained that she'd been robbed, that someone took her money and she tried to follow them so he wouldn't get mad at her. The alibi was bogus, it was obvious she had been sleeping with another person, she smelled like fancy cologne, like tidy whitie, self ejaculating, businessman cologne. Floyd didn't understand the situation at the time, but as he grew up, it made perfect sense. After his grandfather passed away, Floyd's dad moved out to the farm, in order to take care of it and work there. Floyd was forced to stay with his whore of a mother, one who didn't even want him around - well, neither of the parents really wanted to deal with him. The two blamed Floyd for their unfortunate divorce, so they beat him from time to time, to take away their own condemnation.<br/><br/>As a teen, he was forced to move in with his father when the mother passed away from a stroke - no one attended her funeral. His father was even worse than the mother, always drunk and reluctant to reality. Of course, he had Floyd help him in the farm, but for no sort of payment or reward. He had to do it, or he didn't eat. ""Boy, if you don't get your sorry ass out ther' you ain't gettin' no dinner, ya hear?! SO GET WORKIN!!"" the old man would yell, usually using his belt as an intimidation tool. It if wasn't the belt, then it was the horsewhip. Fuck that horsewhip. In addition to farming, the two would go out hunting, well, Floyd would go out hunting while the father would watch and wait from a distance. The food Floyd caught had to be given to his father to cook. Floyd knew how to skin a deer and everything, but he was never in charge of doing so. His father would do it and only give Floyd a portion of what 'he' had hunted down. People resented the entire family because of their human nature. School wasn't even in the picture. All that grammar and reading crap was useless, though Floyd was eventually taught to do it by one of the neighboring girls who ended up dying in a car accident as new roads continued being built. It was ironic because the the mayor at the time pushed for new roads in order to make travel more productive and safer. It obviously didn't work that way.<br/><br/>Dallas, Texas continued to urbanize, making many farmers convert to factories and selling their land to bigger organizations and companies. Since they were making hardly any profit by selling their crops, Floyd urged his ignorant father to sell the farm. ""This is ya granddaddy's farm boy! Don't be stupid!"" he would always respond in addition to whipping him. A year or two later, Floyd's father passed away, leaving the farm to him, which didn't make any sense at all, then again, who else did the old man have? But when joy hits, so does despair. Apparently, Floyd's father had been passed due on several bills. He wasn't paying off the farm and continued to push away any sort of notice referring to such situation. Eventually, tax collectors took the farm from Floyd's grasp, who was not given a single dime for it. All that he was left with was cattle, crops, and the old bobber his father had in the garage. They even took the horses, knowing they could make a profit from it. So Floyd made due with what he had, he sold the remaining cattle and crops, keeping the bobber for transportation. He then went from Dallas to New Orleans, ending up buying a small cabin in the nearby woods.<br/><br/>These woods were just like the present woods of the apocalypse, dark, damp, and frozen with lamenting pain. It was as if one was running forever, nowhere, but forever. It was and endless nightmare where one would wake up after they died. Floyd turned back and saw nothing, just black. He felt as if he had been running for hours, but surely it was merely minutes. Actually, he wasn't even running anymore, it was more of like a quick jog. The further he fell into the jet, the more silent the night became. This was a sign that the walkers had either lost his trail, or were too slow to catch up at this point. But Floyd couldn't risk his luck, so he continued on, until not even he could hear his own steps.<br/><br/>A mile or so later, his legs could no longer go. He walked up a little until the numbness of his feet made him drop like a potato bag. He gasped for air rapidly like a dog with rabies. He lay there looking at the ground as his hair damped over his entire face. He looked back once again and not a sound was heard, not a sight was seen. It wasn't day yet, but from the horizon, the sun was definitely rising. He didn't even get to rest until now, it had been an overwhelming day. But it wasn't over.<br/><br/>Suddenly, a flash of light shined directly on Floyd's face, blinding him yet again, this time, literally. When one becomes accustomed to darkness, seeing the light will burn the eyesight. Floyd didn't speak though, he currently didn't have the energy nor the intention. ""You alright there stranger?"" a voice called out, but whose was it?"

The most important thing he needed was a working vehicle, hopefully a hummer if he could find one and if not anything with a motor and wheels would work just fine.<br/><br/>There had been some cars near the church so he decided to head back through the neighborhoods and cross the tracks to get there as quickly as possible.<br/><br/>""Emma...""

He hurried to that spot to find a car and two people there.<br/><br/>By now Aleck had tossed aside his pack, he had taken everything valuable in it and stuffed it into the multi pocketed coat he was wearing. He had the Sig Sauer rifle out and loaded pointing towards the two individuals on the tracks.<br/><br/>""Ho there!"" Aleck called out. ""My name is Aleck!""<br/><br/>He was weary, there were two of them and the man didn't seem to be average, he could judge people well and he was getting vibes telling him this man had warrior attributes, what kind they might be he wasn't sure but he'd put up a kind of a good fight if it came to it.

She could barely recall camping once in her entire life. ""I'm sorry,"" she said when he was finished. She was sorry about a great many things, but for having fired at his sister most of all. If the girl had been anything like her brother, Shannon knew she had made a grave mistake. ""You aren't thinking of trying to find her tonight, are you?"" She crossed her arms in an attempt at coming off more strongly. ""We should go back for now and continue the search in the morning.""<br/><br/>Her limbs felt like wet noodles and she could barely keep her eyes open, but that wasn't the only reason why Shannon was proposing waiting until the morning.

His eyes became red, not only from the burning displeasure, but his mental and physical exhaustion. Slowly, he raised, his hand clenching his trench knife, which lost the knuckle guard after striking a large walker's cranium. His breath was as dilated as his stance. He noticed the dark figures that stood around the flashlight, there was definitely more than one person surrounding him. And he predicted correctly when all of a sudden, four more flashlights became active. All of them were pointed directly at Floyd, making him feel targeted and threatened, so he continued to take a defensive stance.<br/><br/>""C'mon Floyd, don't you remember me?"" the first flashlight called out. Floyd's left eye then ticked as he attempted to figure out how this man knew his name. He tried to match the voice to the people he met at the track. The doctor maybe? No, it wasn't his voice. Could they be the raiders? But there was no way they knew who he was. Feeling the agitation of not knowing, Floyd barked. ""Who the hell are ya?""<br/><br/>""I can't believe you don't remember me Floyd. Its me, your only friend, Eli!"" the man said as a soft laughter followed. When 'Eli' started laughing, the other men surrounding Floyd put their weapons down, not on the ground, but let go of the trigger and let the machines hang by their shoulders. But to resume their little exchange - ""I ain't got no friends"" Floyd answered. Another soft laugh came from the dark skinned man, his appearance had become clear when the moon seemed to shine over the surrounding area. Even with his appearance visible and his entire character/persona evident, Floyd did not remember this person, not even as a visual learner did not recollect this person. ""I can't believe you don't remember me Floyd. I helped you get started here in New Orleans. Do you remember that at least? I helped you buy that cabin. I can't believe you actually left it though? I thought you'd live there forever, even through this hell"" Eli added. Then it clicked. Eli was the salesman that sold Floyd the cabin for a decent price, but he had nothing to do with him after that. Actually, a month or so after he sold Floyd the house, he vanished with his girlfriend. He had gone to Houston Texas or something, to visit family. He traveled like that after every sale he made, because the commission he got from a sale was over thirty percent. ""What the hell do you want with me?"" Floyd asked.<br/><br/>Eli's brow raised at Floyd's tone. ""What's up with you man? Its like you've got somewhere to be? Do you? Because if you don't, me and my pals here have camp set up west of here. We have a couple more friends down there too. So how bout you come with us Floyd? If you stay out here you're most likely gonna die. You look like shit, you've got them following you huh? Tsk tsk. C'mon, get up"" Eli said, walking up to Floyd, extending his hand out to him. He waited for Floyd to return the generosity, but instead, was faced with malevolence. Floyd slapped Eli's hand off of his face. ""I don't need ya help. I've gotta go back, she's waitin' for me"" he said, limping his way towards the track intersection behind the armed men. As he passed Eli, the dark skinned man turned around and seemed surprised. ""Huh? She you say? Did you get married or something Floyd? Congrats man.""<br/><br/>""It ain't like that"" Floyd answered, not knowing why. He didn't need to explain anything to this man, he owed him nothing. ""So its just a booty call huh? Hahaha! Didn't think you rolled like that Floyd, you never put up with anybody back in the day. Its weird that yo-""<br/><br/>""Shut ya damn mouth!""<br/><br/>""Oh, getting defensive aren't we?.............I'd help you, but its night, they're more active during this time. We also have to get back to camp, they're waiting for us to return. These men have wives you know. Well, some of them. But it doesn't matter does it. We've gotta go, you coming or not Floyd?""<br/><br/>With a huff, Floyd started to struggle and walk back down the tracks. He was going to return for Jessalyn because she was out there alone waiting for him, and from what he knew, she trusted everyone she met. That meant she trusted him as well. As much as he hated her gullibility, for some odd reason, he couldn't let her get hut. Even though it was for survival, she befriended him, regardless how he treated her. That reliability and trust would eventually get her killed one day, that's why Floyd would always object it harshly. That's also the reason Floyd didn't go with Eli, he was not trustworthy in any way. He was a businessman, that's all. If Floyd would have gone with him, eventually, he would have to pay him back for the 'generous housing' he would supply him. ""You know where to find us if you change your mind Floyd, old pal!"" Eli called out one last time, informing him that if he chose, he could join them, all he had to do was travel West, following the tracks.<br/><br/>As the armed men dissipated into the darkness that beheld the woods, it seemed that Floyd no longer had thoughts of running away. He was going to face the unknown, face his mistakes head on like a real man would. He thought of the event that unfolded, of the rage he showed Jessalyn, the insensitivity. His entire life he treated others the way his family treated him, but as he furthered down the tracks, he understood how unjust it was. Though he may not be able to change his ways, though he may not be able to take back what he'd done in the past, it was evident that he would not allow himself to be demised with the same fate as his parents. His entire being was filled with the same shades that fill the woods. It was a dark entity that clenched his heart, but as he now could see a figure in the distance, he felt that effigy exhaled. With some sort of push, he started to jog forward, exiting the previous limp he had. ""Jess! Jess!........."" he called out, breathing heavily in between each step. ""JESS!"" he called out yet again when all of a sudden, a bullet grazed the side of his leg, eventually leading him to fall to the ground immediately, landing in a puddle of mud that spread through the side of his body.<br/><br/>The bullet was shot by none other than Eli, the real-estate agent. Floyd looked up to see Jess in the distance, close enough to see them as well. Eli came up to Floyd and pulled his head up by his hair, then slamming his face against the hard ground. ""Go ahead"" Eli commanded, allowing one of his men to kick Floyd in the gut repeatedly. ""So this is the girl Floyd fell in love with huh?"" Eli taunted, laughing his ass off. ""Look guys, he even got her pregnant, ha!"" The businessman used his arm to signal his other men to capture the girl, she wouldn't be able to run fast enough to get away, she was pregnant after all. And within seconds, they caught her, using merely their arms to lock hers'. ""Well Floyd, you should have accepted our offer, maybe this would have never happened, who knows? Anyhow-"" Eli paused as he crouched to meet his level. ""If you dare follow us now, I will have your head and feed it to the walkers, if they don't come and get you now."" With one last kick to the face, Eli started off separating his group in two. He and the two men carrying Jess headed in one direction, while the rest of his men headed forty-five degrees in the other direction. Maybe the tactic was used to hid where their true haven was located. Was that the reason they were in the woods in the first place? Floyd thought they were hunting or lost, but it seems they had some sort of schedule or program. Were these the raiders from earlier?"

Humans were crueler and at times far more dangerous.<br/><br/>When she finally heard Floyd calling her name she was thrilled. Getting up, she looked for him in the darkness. ""I'm here!"" she called out, moving towards his voice.<br/>A gun shot made her cry out and duck, covering her stomach protectively. She saw Floyd fall to the ground.<br/>""Floyd!"" she cried and hurried towards him only to stop when she realized another man, a stranger, had appeared. He and the other men with him started to beat Floyd.<br/>""No!"" she cried. ""No stop! Please!"" Tears stung her eyes.<br/>So much violence... so much pain... why couldn't it stop?<br/><br/>Jess took a step back in shock when the man said Floyd had fallen in love with her. That wasn't true. That wasn't any more true then his next assumption that Floyd had gotten her pregnant.<br/>""That's not-"" she started to say when the other men started towards her. ""Leave me alone!"" she cried. ""Just leave us alone!""<br/>She looked around for a weapon but found only a rock. She smashed it against one man's arm, making it bruise and bleed a little but that was it. They pinned her arms roughly, holding her in place. Jess struggled but it was useless.<br/>She cried more when he kicked Floyd in the face. ""Please, just stop!"" she begged.

One of the men put a hand over her mouth to silence her. She was helpless as they carried her off by force. She kept struggling to look back at Floyd. She wanted to see him move, just see him move to know that he was going to be okay.<br/><br/>Whatever fear she had for her baby was dispelled quickly. The men never touched her stomach. It made her wonder where they were taking her.

He didn't even get to see her face, only her outline. Floyd had hit the ground faster than the bullet had grazed his leg. A decent amount of skin had been torn off of his thigh. It burned drastically, worse than Georgia's blistering sun rays. Her screams continued to travel the surface of his soul. It echoed through his eardrums as if she was still in grasp, but it had been about ten minutes since she was taken. Still on the ground, Floyd's eyes were dimming as timed passed, but his intention to save her wouldn't allow him to pass out. With his remaining strength, which was slim, he used his fist to push himself up. When he got on all fours, meaning his knees and hands, he noticed a figure heading his way. His blurred vision didn't let him capture the image fully, it was obscure. At first it seemed that it didn't have a stagger in its walk, it seemed......human. But once it got close enough to smell and visualize, it was a walker. Floyd tried to get up, but his leg went against his wishes, forcing him to involuntarily fall on his back. The walker tripped over the mud and fell on top of Floyd, attempting to much at his face. Floyd used his forearm to prevent such demise. His right forearm was placed on the walker's neck, preventing it from tilting its head forward and jerking its teeth into his face. In order to ensure survival, he pulled out his knife from the small sheath connected to his belt and stabbed the walker through the eye, reaching its brain.<br/><br/>From a distance, meaning, coming out of the woods, Floyd could hear an addition of multiple moans. The sound was getting closer to his location, meaning the walkers were most likely going to be crowding him soon. Floyd grunted in pain as he started dragging himself to the other side of the tracks. He was hauling the put-down walker with him, he had an idea that may ensure his survival. As he reached his destination, which really hadn't been but a couple feet from where he already lay, he used the bandanna hanging from his back pocket to tie it around his wound, to prevent further bleeding. It seemed a decent chunk of his skin and muscle might have been torn off by the bullet.<br/><br/>As the moans got closer and closer, Floyd used his knife to cut the walkers chest open. Its blood started pouring onto the ground. The black blood reminded him of the loneliness he'd endured and is still enduring. He splashed the blood with his hands, then basically bathing himself in it. He would use the walker's stench as camouflage. In addition to that tactic, he laid down and pulled the walker over his own torso, the walker now laying on top of him for extra cover. That's when walkers started exiting the woods. That gunshot and the screams probably called them here. The roamed around the tracks, not going anywhere, but just walking around the perimeter. One walker actually came two feet from Floyd, but just stared into space as its arms hung loosely from its shoulders. Floyd would have to stay like so until they decide to move on. Again he was forced into an eternal isolation.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>Eli - Haywood - Jessalyn</b></span><br/><br/>Nobody spoke to the pregnant girl for an entire hour. The travel had been decently long so far, and in addition to that, they had to travel one more hour in this dark realm. The men's grasp were loosening up, but still held the girl captive and unable to run away. If she decided to kick or scream, she would get a beating that may injure the child inside her. But the silence bored the black man, he liked to speak, he liked attention. Therefore, it was time for him and the girl to introduce themselves to each other.<br/><br/>""So, what's your name kid? An-"" he was about to ask yet another question, when a confused look ran over his face. The group had stopped at what seemed a street. There It was a three way street, left, right, or straight on the path they had been going for a while. But the confusion wasn't because of their location, but because a thought came to mind about the girl that stood before him. ""Why would a young kid like you be hangning out with a monster like Floyd? Huh? I was wondering the entire time before we saved you from him. I can't believe you actually slept with the guy and are currently having his child, Wow! That's insane. Haha. He forced you to didn't he? You were just his booty call. Anyhow, your safe now, you don't have to put up with his demands anymore. I knew Conlon way before the incident. Let me tell you, he......was......an......ASS! He didn't have any friends! What kind of person isolates themselves from all of society? Hahaha, a freak, that's who. Well, I sold him the cabin he used to live in. Can you believe it was in the middle of the woods? So weird. But that's what he gets isn't it? Being alone for so long doesn't get you anywhere. Not now, not before, not ever. That's why he's probably walker food by now. I shot him to protect you miss, don't think otherwise. Now were just waiting for our ride, we've got a camp a couple miles from here. We scout the area every night for survivors like yourself. We take them into our camp then..................."" he paused. He had his arms up to his sides as if saying 'you already know what happens next'. ""So yeah. You'll have a decent room to yourself, water, food. We supply all that, all you've gotta do is help us around camp. Then it's time for the businessmen to step in.""<br/><br/>""Sir, your not suppose to talk about that to strangers remember"" one of the men holding Jess spoke out.<br/><br/>""Oh crap, did it come out? Oh well, don't worry about it. She doesn't understand anyway, but let's not freak her out. But the main point of this chat is that you'll be safer with us and wont have to put up with the outside world anymore. You don't have to worry miss, were taking you to Haywood"" he finished as suddenly, out of nowhere, a black van came out of the right road. Inside were the men from earlier, the ones that separated at the tracks. ""Let's get going now, there's a lot of things to get done back at home"" Eli instructed as his men forced Jessalyn into the van. After Eli himself got in, the van continued down the road in a straightaway, going left from their original path."

The dark skinned man signaled his two soldiers to let go of her arms and they abide to his command. Eli was sitting in front of Jessalyn, listening to her questioning words as he entire expression changed to one of fear. That look fit her perfectly, she looked like a frightened puppy or something of the sort.<br/><br/>The two men sitting next to the girl turned to their commanding officer as they wondered whether he'd answer her question or not. Since from the creation of Haywood they've been given an authoritative order to keep quite about the underground business that takes place, they weren't sure if Eli would speak of it. But then, their question was answered. ""Who the heck is Tyler?"" the black man asked her, acting confused. ""I don't know what you think we do, but Haywood is merely a trading post for survivors. People who have survived the apocalypse and are looking for a place to live come to Haywood. We supply them with food, water, and everything we can. All they have to do, is work for it. The people help plant crops. They spend days at end working in the hot summer days pumping water from our wells. Do you really think were some kind of bandits or something? Look here. We took you from Floyd because HE is a bandit. He's a monster, like it or not. Sooner or later, he'd throw you aside, just like he'd done everyone else. You don't see it because you're young, but don't worry about it. At Haywood, we have instructors to teach you to survive. We'll show you to use weapons, we'll help you get started. Of course, we'll help you bare that child. I am truly sorry if I offended you in any way, I did not mean to make assumptions.""<br/><br/>Suddenly, the van came to a stop. After what seemed to be half an hour, they had reached their destination. ""We're here!"" the driver called out as a loud shriek could be heard from inside the van. It was the shriek of the opening of a gate. The drivers could see it, but since there were no windows where Jessalyn sat, she yet couldn't see where she was. Eli then stood up within the van as it came to yet another halt. ""Are we clear?"" he asked the driver, in which was answered with a nod. Then the door of the van was pushed open by Eli. He hopped off the van first, extending out his hand to Jessalyn in order to aid her out. ""Welcome to Haywood miss"" he smiled.<br/><br/>Once she stepped out the sun had already returned, she would then see five different buildings all next to each other. There was a gate encasing the entire perimeter guarded by a pair of armed men every fifty feet. A giant sign that initially said, 'Welcome to New Orleans' was completely faded and edited to say 'Welcome to Haywood'. There were stations where crops were being planted. Beside that where three wells, all mounted by workers. Kids were running down the streets playing tag, actually laughing. Since it was basically a two story apartment complex, people sat on the porches drinking and chitchatting. Four of the five buildings were apartments, each having about sixteen rooms in total, but the fifth building was different. It was more like a courthouse rather than a apartment building. It seemed that the entire place had been an apartment complex, and the last building was like the administration office. But an apartment complex has more than a five buildings, that is correct, but all the other ones burned down in a fire caused by a rebelling group of survivors. They used the bricks to enforce the perimeter in order to keep the walkers out. Other than the overwhelming armed men, the place was actually pretty clean and neat. Everything had a place, it was organized perfectly to make everyone comfortable and adapt quickly to it.<br/><br/>""Alright kid, I'll take you to your new home. There are plenty of available rooms, so you'll be getting your privacy. Just follow me"" Eli said as he started to lead the way. The men guarding Jess had left to focus on their next duties. Eli then started to explain the rules of Haywood. ""Alright, so basically we set up a schedule for everyone that lives here. We try to-""<br/><br/>""Hey Mr. Eli, nice to have you back!"" one of the many survivors called out with a smile. The old lady waved despretely as she continued to wash the stack of clothing with other aged people.<br/><br/>""Hello Ms. Johnson, it's nice to be back. I see you've got cleaning duties today. You're a lucky lady!"" Eli called back, his smile also wide and clear. ""It beats the kitchen, haha. You know, the windows don't open no more"" he old lady said. ""They don't huh? I'll get Billy on it right away Ms. Johnson, don't you worry. Okay, see you later"" Eli finished.<br/><br/>He then turned his attention back to Jess. ""Now where was I............."" he paused for a second, trying to recollect his thoughts. ""Oh yeah, the schedule. Like I was saying, everyone has duties to fulfill here. We try to give everyone equal working hours so nobody feels like their doing more for the same payment. Basically, we all keep each other running. You help around and fulfill your given tasks, we provide you with water, food, cloth, and whatever other materials we can get our hands on. But we'll fill you in on the details later. You bare a child in that belly, you need your rest, you've been awake for basically an entire day."" Eli then took out some keys from his pocket and opened up one of the many apartments. ""This will be your new room. We've actually managed to get hot water in a couple of rooms, this one has it, so don't waste it now. We had a few pipe guys get the propane system from the administrative office to a couple of rooms here. You're fortunate to have hot water, not even my room gets it. We try to give the ladies and the old folk along with the children the rooms with hot water, they need it more than us men. Anyhow, when you get settled in, just roam around, meet a few people, we'll assign duties to you tomorrow, for today, just rest"" he finished, closing the door after she entered the room.<br/><br/>Without further ado, Eli had entered the administrative office. He walked passed the guards, showing his identification tag, which was actually just a library card that only a few people had, and entered the main office. ""Eli, is nice to see you're still alive partner. How was the hunt?"" The speaker was sitting on a leather chair behind a large wooden desk. He had papers in front of him with the Haywood's schedule. He had the name of every tenant laid out on that sheet. He even had a name plate on the table titled Levi. He was a decently sized man, about six, six-one in height. Eli was actually taller than him, but did not present himself as educated or strong as the man sitting in the chair.<br/><br/>""We found a woman sir"" Eli started. ""She's quite short and is baring child, I'm not sure if that will help Haywood's progression. I don't know if she will be able to follow the schedule in her condition, I mean, she-"" Eli stopped because he was cut off by the man in the leather chair.<br/><br/>""Look Eli.........You already know how these things work. Business was and still is your number one strength. Haywood's been around for about three months now and it'll continue to run because of people like you and I. We make the hard decisions to better the chances of all our tenants. Without people like us, they'd have no leadership, not a single survival opportunity, but we, together, changed that. I know you've made many sacrifices in the beginning. I am truly sorry about your wife, and her memory will always remain with me. But she sacrificed herself for the advancement of Haywood. So do not worry about this girl, she will not be here long. She won't be here long enough to cause us any trouble.""<br/><br/>""Understood sir"" Eli said, his eyes staring at the ground as images of his wife ran through his mind. He took a deep breathe and exhaled quietly to calm down. ""Do you want me to follow procedure like I have for everybody else?""<br/><br/>""Of course. Make her feel welcome. Give her everything she needs because after all, she will be a new mother. She needs more attention because she will be more profitable. Like I said, you know how business works in this new world. You give someone a scarce artifact and they give you something of equal value. This girl is our goldmine Eli. Nowadays, nobody breads children because they fear for its life. If she is pregnant, then she will be worth more than any other artifact that's ever been sold. You've done good partner. You are dismissed, take the day off, for your good work.""<br/><br/>""Thank you Mr. Levi.""<br/><br/>""Mr. Levi? C'mon man, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Bruce"""

She expected to be yelled at. Instead he was rather kind. She felt bad for her harsh words.<br/><br/>""I'm sorry,"" she apologized. ""I shouldn't have reacted so disrespectfully. But you shouldn't talk badly about people,"" she insisted, biting her lip.<br/><br/>The size of the place they took her to astounded her. Why hadn't Lynn known about this place? If they could have lived here this whole time maybe Lynn wouldn't have had to work so hard to provide for them.<br/>Everyone was smiling and seemed happy. It was the kind of place Jess had always wanted to live, even before the outbreak. Jess found herself smiling in return to the people that passed them.<br/><br/>The room was nice. Well nice when compared to the train car. It had a bed and a small bathroom with a sink and a toilet. When he mentioned hot water she nearly squealed in excitement. Any hot water she and Lynn had had to be boiled then cooled before being able to use it. But she wasn't going to be greedy, especially after he explained that not everyone had it.<br/>When he turned to leave she spoke out to stop him. ""My name is Jessalyn,"" she told him as he shut the door, hoping he had heard her. If not, she'd tell him later.<br/><br/>Sitting down on the bed, she suddenly felt drained. She hadn't realized how stressed she had been until she knew she was safe. Behind a fence manned by guards and inside a building with a door to her own room, she finally felt safe for the first time in many months. Her body collapsed back onto the bed. Tears pricked at her eyes. She wished Lynn was here. She felt guilty enjoying this when her friend was still out there.<br/>And Floyd... she prayed once again for his safety. No matter what anyone had said about him, he had helped her and saved her life. For that he deserved her thanks and her prayers. She hoped he was alright, that he had gotten away. She hoped he would enjoy the rest of his life and get whatever he desired.<hr/>Jess used a little of the hot water to wash her face, neck and arms. She felt a little better but what she really needed was some new clothes and a way to wash her hair. She opened the door cautiously and wandered outside.<br/>People walked by, going about their business. She felt bad bothering them.<br/>Finally an old woman took pity on her and helped her.<br/><br/>After an hour Jess had a bath, washed her hair and had new clothes on. She felt truly clean for the first time in a long time.<br/><br/>""There you are now,"" the old woman said, finishing brushing Jess' hair. ""You look very pretty now that we got all those layers of dirt off of you. Poor child.""<br/><br/>Jess smiled a little. ""Lynn took care of me the best she could. She often went without so I could have food and clean cloths.""<br/><br/>The old woman nodded. ""I'm sure she did. She sounds like a good woman. I hope she arrives here soon as well.""<br/><br/>Jess shook her head. ""I don't think Lynn would like it here. She doesn't like being told what to do.""<br/><br/>""We all have to do our part,"" the old woman said, as if quoting from something important.<br/><br/>""Where is the man who brought me here?"" Jess asked after the woman braided her hair and tied it back with a piece of blue cloth. ""I would like to thank him for the room.""<br/><br/>""Oh yes, Eli,"" the woman said, nodding with a smile. ""Such a sweet man. Poor thing, his wife died not too long ago. He should be around here somewhere.""<br/><br/>Jess thanked the woman for her kindness and wandered off. She looked for a while, asking people for directions. Apparently Eli had gone to talk to someone in an office. Jess started going that way when she was nearly knocked over by some guards coming around a corner.<br/>""Watch it,"" they said harshly before continuing on their way.<br/>Jess frowned. That was the first sign of rudeness she had seen from these people. It didn't sit well with her. She tried to shake off the feeling of something not being right and continued her search. She finally saw Eli coming down the hall.<br/><br/>""Mr. Eli,"" she said, going towards him. ""I wanted to... to thank you for the room,"" she told him. ""Although I do not agree with how I was brought here, I appreciate your consideration.""<br/>She paused for a moment, then offered her hand. Perhaps they just needed to start over.<br/>""I don't know if you heard me before, but my name is Jessalyn. I'm about five or six months along... I think..."" she added, unsure. ""I do want to help. It's not fair for me to do nothing. I can cook and I have some first aid knowledge."""

She was sitting at her house, the one before the outbreak. She was lying in her bed, wearing what she normally slept in; a tank top and a pair of running shorts. A knock resounded on her door, and her attention diverted to it. ""Come in..."" It was her older brother, Daniel. He'd come home for a week from the army base. She'd seen him come in last night, but she was half-asleep. Her face spread into a grin, and he stuck himself inside the room.<br/><br/>""Morning, loser."" She greeted playfully. She saw that he had something in his right hand, a dark wooden box. Daniel laughed quietly and sat down at the end of her bed beside her feet.<br/><br/>""Same to you, shorty."" Daniel handed her the box.<br/><br/>""Sorry that we're not all 6'5 and 205 pounds of pure muscle."" She sat up, swinging her legs over the edge of her bed, taking the box from him. ""Let's see..."" She flipped the lid and observed the contents. Inside was a long knife with a wooden handle and silver metal blade. It was sheathed in a rough leather case that was made to loop in to a belt. ""That's... a really sharp knife, dude..."" She laughed and looked back over at her brother. He was staring distantly over out of her window. ""Daniel..."" She tapped him on the shoulder. His head swiveled, and he looked at her with dead eyes... He was a walker.<br/><br/>Emma woke to a sharp searing pain in her cheek, the sudden jolt of it bringing tears to her eyes. She found that her eyes were already wet, the tears only added more her silent crying. ""You're comin' with me!"" A man barked, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her along. She couldn't resist, as her hands were tightly bound behind her back. She stumbled and the pain of her injured leg awoke again. She choked on her own breath as she fought to pull away from the man; but he was much larger and stronger than she.<br/><br/>""No, no, no..."" She muttered helplessly. Where were they going? What was going to happen to her? Torture? Rape? She couldn't decide which was worse as the man dragged her roughly along."

He didn't like the aura the man was emanating, he willed his body with all his might to force itself not to attack and kill the man. Aleck had incredible battle instincts that had saved him several times over and lowering his gun in the face of this man who appeared more than capable of killing felt like suicide and the will of force required to attack first was incredible. The things he did for a girl he barely knew - no that's not quite right. He had never felt any compulsion to protect or provide for anyone other than himself and his sister, he lived for her and nothing more the fact that Emma had wormed her way into his being was both unsettling and pleasing at the same time.<br/><br/>The reason he now was desperate to save her he now came to understand, he found his psyche on the verge of becoming unhinged in a way that frightened him. His sister had always been the pillar of his being, through her he dictated his morality and will to exist. He had now found his second pillar in Emma and his psyche had become unbalanced because this second pillar was no longer safe and like a board precariously placed between the two it began to lean and bend as its perch on the second pillar became unsure and unstable. He now wanted to protect her with his life to protect himself, in other words he now lived for the sake of two people and was not about to let either be harmed.<br/><br/>Remembering her he decided to take a peek at the walkie on his wrist which was his link to Emma and noted that the compass arrow had suddenly gone dead. That was not a good sign, whatever they were going to do needed to be done within the next hour. ""I know the way and I have more knowledge about the place and people than you do at the moment.""<br/><br/>""If you cannot trust me then you will never again see you sister,"" Aleck assured the man. ""If I cannot trust you to trust me then tell me now so that I may be on my way and you can wander about aimlessly looking for a sister I assure you that you will not find in time to save her of her grim fate.""<br/><br/>Aleck wasn't sure what exactly was going to happen to Emma or what was currently happening to her but he was sure that the brother would respond to his words and the way he said them.<br/><br/>""The second step you must take to show that you and I can work together is to listen to my plan and be ready because it needs to get done within the next handful of minutes..."""

He had just exited the administration office and was stopped by the girl from earlier. As she ran to him, he started to speak logically. ""You should be resting kid, you barely got here, did you not like your room or something?"" he asked, not waiting for a response because he knew she indeed enjoyed it. It was all over her facial expression. In addition to that smile, she was completely cleansed of all impurities. The hot water does wonders during these times. He then took her tender hand and shook it softly. ""It is very nice to meet you Jessalyn"" he said with a smile. He knew how things in Haywood worked and knew this little encounter would not last, so decided to cut their conversation short and not grow attached to any of the women that entered this complex. ""Umm, well, I understand you wanna help, but just rest for the day"" he said as he backed away. ""Think of the child, just..........just rest for the day, I've got to run, but, it was nice to meet you Jessalyn, we'll talk soon okay"" he finished as he turned and started to walk away.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the guard standing at the doors of the administration office started for Jessalyn. ""Ma'am, you cannot stand within thirty feet of this building without an access pass, please return to your quarters and follow the schedule provided to you by our commanding officer"" he ordered, escorting her away from the office. ""This will be your final warning, do not let us catch you this close to the office again or we'll act with force"" he finished, pushing her away without mercy. ""Now scram!""<br/><br/>Eli heard the ruckus from where he was and turned to catch the soldier push the pregnant girl. From where he stood, he yelled at the armed man. ""HEY! Do not touch her! Boss man doesn't want her harmed!"" He came forth a couple feet and yelled again. ""You touch her again and you'll get it soldier, now back to your post!""<br/><br/>The officer gulped and returned to the office doors. ""Sir yes sir!""<br/><br/>""Be careful miss, this is private area!"" Eli yelled from afar as he once again started walking away. It was obvious that they didn't want anyone without a pass around the administration office. It was basically abandoned by tenants. The only people present were soldiers and Eli, all the civilians were back in the apartment complex sector of the small haven. The people were told that the administration office was used by the higher-ups to create schedules and maintain a supply count in order to further the towns production level. It was basically and executive office where every aspect of law was created. Every tenant knew the man in charge was Mr. Levi, though they hardly ever saw him around. They didn't even know his first name, so they'd always turn to Eli for word. If Mr. Levi passed by, it was merely to go get supplies for the town. Every time he'd return, he would have two trucks filled with necessities, it was unbelievable. The people were told not to talk about it though, else they'd get kicked out of Haywood. They were commanded to keep silent of any executive decision, they had no say, it was not a democracy, but neither a dictatorship. It was a mutual relation between the 'government' - the decision makers - and the tenants. They helped the town run and they got whatever they needed - mutual relationship.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>Floyd - The Chase</b></span><br/><br/>The survivor opened his eyes to find yet another light shining brightly. A flashback of Eli's flashlight raced a crude image through his head. He spit to the side, he was filled with disgust. He had failed to protect that girl, something he said he'd do. But he was so tired now and could hardly move. His muscles tensed rapidly as his heartbeat sluggishly. His eyes were drowsy and his mouth opened, trying to catch the oxygen that followed the light breeze. Still he had the walker laying on his chest, which could have been the cause for his loss of breath, so he pushed it off of him. The walkers that roamed him the night before seemed to have left, trying to find another source of food. With a grunt, Floyd forced himself to sit up. He used his hands to hold himself seated, he didn't want to fall yet again. He turned towards his wound to find it had seized bleeding. Even with that, he tied the bandanna even tighter, just in case. Wiping his face with his bicep, he slowly started to gain his balance on his feet. He swung his hips forward in order to finalize his posture and stand straightforward. His knife was hanging by the tip of his fingers, but as he heard a voice, he griped it forcefully.<br/><br/>Then he noticed there was nobody there. All he heard was Jess' voice echoing in his ears. The girl called his name multiple times, but he hadn't responded. Floyd angered quickly and punched the air. Along with his fist, his entire body swung forwards and he landed yet again on his knees. This time, he got back up without hesitating. He had black blood all over his tank top and belt of his pants. His own blood was all over his short goatee. His bottom lip was busted and the left side of his face was bruised red. His abdomen was most likely also swollen from the multiple kicks he obtained. For a couple of seconds, he just stood there trying to figure out what to do next. He thought about getting his motorcycle in order to make his trip faster, but his condition would not allow him to face off against any walkers. He turned to the ground to find footprints on the solemn grass. Since the place was sort of muddy, the tracks were easier to read than most. With a stagger, he started off in the direction the prints moved, but suddenly, they separated. He knelt down to get a closer look. Four people headed forward, three headed east. Since the prints heading forward seemed to have a lead man, it mean that it was most likely that Eli was that man. He was a kiss ass and always wanted attention, which meant he had to be the person leading the pack. The three prints going east must have been decoys to lure Floyd into some sort of trap or a maze to get lost if he'd survive the night, which he did.<br/><br/>The redneck walked for hours on end, it seemed the path would never conclude, but it did. Finally, he reached a road that lead three different ways - right, left, or straight. The most difficult thing to track are vehicles. Once can't follow tire marks because they are unreliable foot prints. They could have been made way before the apocalypse even began.<br/><br/>Sweat continued to flush down Floyd's body. He hadn't eaten for more than twelve hours and he left his bag attached to the bike in the woods. He now had second thoughts about going back to get it, but if he were to meet a hoard of walkers, his condition would not let him escape. With the sun shining brightly overhead, not even the breeze helped prevent the overwhelming heat. Floyd's knees gave up on him and caused him to collapse on his ass. He sat there motionless with his head down and eyes closed. He felt helpless at this point, unable to do anything. He could have saved her, it was his fault all this happened. ""If only I'd kept my mouth shut"" he murmured. ""Why did I scream? Why the hell did I..............scream?"" he questioned himself as he gasped for air in between words. Then he could see himself running towards her. ""Maybe if I'd of ran faster. Maybe if I wouldn't have gave up"" he added. He felt that her abduction was entirely his doing. He failed her when she needed him most, how does he live with that. He was tired of losing people. Everyone he knew vanished. He was like a plague, yet he wasn't a walker."

Daniel was far too incensed to listen and it seemed to her that Aleck barely even registered her as existing. Her idea to wait and regroup would not be happening. She stepped away from Daniel, putting distance between her and the two men. She didn't have it in her to argue in an uphill battle.<br/><br/>Crossing her arms to deal with the cold, Shannon looked wistfully skyward. She stared anxiously at the stars, realizing she barely knew a single constellation. She remembered once having a vivid fantasy of staring at the night sky with some boy she loved, pointing out the constellations and counting the stars. She had forgotten to study for her dream date.<br/><br/>The approach of a third man brought Shannon's attention back to Earth. She took a few steps toward him in an attempt to see what he looked like in the dark. His voice had wavered slightly and he sounded a bit scared, leading Shannon to assume he was younger than her, but she was surprised to find him older when she got a good look at him. She considered what he said and placed a hand on his shoulder, directing him away from Daniel and Aleck. ""My name's Shannon. You're welcomed to stick with us, but..."" She cast her eyes downward. ""This is kind of a bad time.""<br/><br/>She stole a glance toward Daniel and leaned in toward the newcomer's ear. ""I'll make sure Daniel lets you come with us,"" she whispered. ""We have a garage where you can stay.""<hr/><b>Beckett ""Bex"" Everett - Underground</b><br/><br/>Bex awoke to swearing and the sounds of fighting. He got out of bed - A cot smack dab in the middle of all the other piece of shit cots - and found some of the other men punching each other over some reason or another. It was really no surprise with half the group filled with savages. Not that Bex was complaining; it was merely an observation. He never said anything about how Tyler did things, even if some of it would have made the man Bex once was disgusted. No, it really didn't matter now. Survival was everything, and keeping one's mouth shut was just another part of that.<br/><br/>He wandered into what was considered the armory, having to duck low in order to avoid banging his head off a low hanging archway. There was a serious amount of weaponry down the armory, more than enough for everyone in the group. Most kept personal weapons on their person, but the best of the best was stored in the armory. The weaponry was regulated by Tyler, given out on expeditions, missions, or whenever Tyler just felt like it. There were guards on duty to ensure no one decided to sneak off with something they should not have. They hadn't an incident in such a while (Death by noose tended to put people off), though Tyler still kept a regular influx of guards.<br/><br/>In there now was Lauren, the only women in the group. She smiled at Bex as he came in and placed her hands on his hips, regarding him with an amused expression. A good mood, then. Bex liked Lauren, her red hair and slim, almost dainty features reminded him of a woman he once knew. Though, he sometimes wondered if Lauren was okay with the kinds of things Tyler got up to. She certainly had more reason than most to not be comfortable with it all, but she never really confided in anyone. Bex had tried to pick the woman's brain on multiple occasions, but she was a tough nut to crack. He suspected she was a lot like him, willing to put up with just about anything to ensure her own survival.<br/><br/>Lauren was a tough woman, and the proof lied entirely in the fact that none of the men had ever tried to force themselves on her. Of course, that may have been because of the man who stood next to her right now. Bull, the group's resident lumberjack, was a staggering seven feet tall man with more muscle than Bex thought entirely possible and an extremely bushy brown beard. The man was currently hunched over one table of weapons, probably checking if everything was in perfect condition. Tyler made the guards do that as well.<br/><br/>Lauren tapped Bull on the shoulder and waved toward Bex. Bull turned around and grinned, crossing his heavily bandaged arms. ""Well, you look like shit today!"" the man said jovially.<br/><br/>Bex flipped him the bird. ""At least you look worse."" He walked over to one of the desks and leaned against it, making Lauren shake her head.<br/><br/>""Don't go knocking those over!"" she snapped.<br/><br/>Bex smiled at her. ""You always say that.""<br/><br/>""And then you knocked them over once, you idiot!"" She grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the display of weapons. ""Why are you here anyway? I thought you'd be gone for a few days.""<br/><br/>Bex sighed. ""Turns out the mall is shitdeep in walkers again. Someone fucked up so I had no choice but to come back."" Bex yawned loudly. ""... And then I couldn't get much sleep with those assholes fighting all the time.""<br/><br/>Bull walked up to them, pumping his fist. ""They should take it the arena then."" He licked his lips. ""Not enough fresh meat down there, if you know what I mean.""<br/><br/>Lauren rolled her eyes with a smile on her face. It was known that Lauren was a fan of the Bull's aggressive side. ""Well, did you hear about Lynn, then?""<br/><br/>Bex shook his head. ""Did we find her? I don't know much about it, Lauren.""<br/><br/>""I know. I mean, they also brought another girl in. She looked pretty young.""<br/><br/>Bex lifted an eyebrow, studying Lauren carefully. Why did she care who was brought in? Unless... ""Maybe I'll go take a look at her,"" he said.<br/><br/>Bull placed his arms around Lauren, pulling her into a bear hug. He snickered. ""Heh, I know I wanna take a look. Too bad we're stuck here, though."" He placed a kiss on the top of Lauren's head.<br/><br/>""Oh, baby..."" Lauren smiled and started rubbing Bull's hands. ""You know I wouldn't let you anyway."" Bull's hug loosened and Lauren twisted in his arms to place a kiss on his mouth. She would soon be lost in a mess of muscle and hair, Bex figured. He saluted to Bull as he left the armory, who responded with a wave before going back to giving Lauren his full attention."

A man dressed in slacks and a dress shirt ran towards the main office inside the court. His pass oscillated through every step the man took. It was connected to a lanyard hanging from his neck. It was obvious that he was in a hurry, because his news were important for Haywood's progression. As the man reached the main office, he took a deep breath before knocking neutrally on Mr. Levi's door. From inside, the man called out to his fellow tenant, ""Come in!""<br/><br/>The well dressed man opened the door slowly, sticking his head in before taking a step forth into the office room. ""Apologies for bothering you sir, but there was an incident"" he said as he now stood fairly within the office. Mr. Levi put his glass down, a clear glass half filled with what seemed to be a quite expensive wine. The rich color was vibrant, it would catch anyone's attention. ""Take a seat Junior, calm down and breathe boy"" Mr. Levi offered. Slowly and quietly like all his other movements, Junior took the visitors chair back and then sat on it with patience. He closed his eyes and took yet another breath to relax in order to prevent himself from stuttering and looking like an idiot before Haywood's mayor.<br/><br/>""Okay son, now go ahead, what's happened?"" Mr. Levi asked as he took another sip of his drink. ""Well sir. The pregnant girl we brought here this morning has gotten ill. She has a very high fever and is sweating abnormally. I think she has caught some sort of virus sir"" Junior finished.<br/><br/>""Is she going into labor?"" Mr. Levi asked.<br/><br/>""We are not entirely sure, but it does not seem that way sir. We got the doctor to go ahead and check up on her, but we'll need to use the emergency medicine stored in the lot. We don't have th-""<br/><br/>""And where is Eli now? Did you come to me because he is on mission?""<br/><br/>""Yes sir"" Junior responded with a gulp. He felt like sweat was running down the side of his face, but it was just fear. His feet were ticking rapidly, though they weren't making any noise. He felt that if he made any noise, Mr. Levi would for some odd reason banish him from Haywood. He felt as if he was bothering his boss and was very nervous from the situation he was in.<br/><br/>""Here Junior"" Mr. Levi said, sliding the keys to him across the desk before him. ""That's the key to the emergency lot. Its located in the basement of this building inside that room over there"" he pointed. ""Turn the key counterclockwise and it should open just fine. Once you get down there you'll see the large safe. The code is 01-30-14. All the medicine will be in there. Get whatever the doctor said was necessary. You do know what he needs right?"" he asked Junior.<br/><br/>""Yes sir, I've got the list right here"" he showed Mr. Levi.<br/><br/>""Okay then Junior. Make sure to bring me the key once you come back up. And lock the doors behind you, we don't want anybody else knowing about it right. Only those with the keys. We know what happened to the last person that tried to go against my method of doing things. Look Junior, I do my best to keep Haywood clean and safe for everyone""<br/><br/>""Yes sir"" Junior simultaneously said.<br/><br/>""I create a schedule for everyone to follow, why? Because I believe that everyone here plays a role. Everyone contributes to Haywood in order to keep it going, to keep it on its feet. Without you people, there would be no Haywo- Scratch that, there would be a Haywood, but it wouldn't be anything like it is right now"" he said, using his finger to indicate 'this very moment'. ""As creator of Haywood, I also try to do my part. I make sure everyone is perfectly accustomed to this new complex. I've tried to get heated water to all the rooms, but it is very difficult. I do my best to supply food and water rations to everyone, which has successfully worked, why? Because of those people out there working their butts off to make it happen. I've trained many men to use weapons. Some may see it as dangerous, but in all, it is the reason Haywood is well protected. There hasn't been an issue since the Robert James. You knew the man, he was a lunatic. He spread rumors of, of...............To tell you the truth, I don't even remember what the man has stated, it was so long ago. Anyhow, the point is, I do everything I do for Haywood, remember that when you step out of this office. Not everything should be shared with our tenants.""<br/><br/>""Yes sir"" Junior said before being dismissed. He stood from the chair and put it back in place. ""Keep me updated on the girl's condition. I may pass by to great our newcomer myself when she gets well again. Remember that she is the basis of our foundation. We've spoken of this before Junior, do not let me down. If you must watch her twenty four hours, you will. Got it kid?""<br/><br/>""Yes sir"" Junior repeated. He'd been saying 'yes sir' over and over. It seemed like he was stuck in a time loop or something. With one last nod, the young adult left the office, closing the doors behind him. After retrieving the necessary medicine, he returned the key and exited the administration office. He passed the armed guards then started sprinting towards the girl's apartment. He rushed through the open door, giving the doctor the medicine he had asked for. The doctor of course, started to treat the young girl as quickly as he could. He had an assistant fan the girl with a large Chinese fan, trying to help reduce the fever. They got a towel of cold water and placed it on both her forehead and stomach. The doctor had kicked everyone not qualified to be there out of the apartment. He focused on treating the girl, because he didn't want to see any of his neighbors die."

</div><br/><br/>At the front entrance, the head doctor of Haywood showed his pass to the two armed men guarding their post. The men then opened the twin doors, allowing the doctor enter the cool building. In accordance to Haywood law, the place was squeaky clean. It was expected for Haywood to remain perfectly cleansed of all impurities, keeping it presentable to anyone who chose to join their nation. It was a clean complex that not only introduced itself based on its freshness, but its protection and confidence. Nobody would stop at a rundown half-ass camp that didn't have any rules or regulations. Haywood was a safe haven for all survivors that entered its walls. It was basically a sanctuary for everyone roaming the effects of the apocalypse.<br/><br/>But anyhow, the doctor continued through the empty place, knocking on the office door, once again bothering Mr. Levi. ""Enter!"" the mayor of Haywood called out. The doctor entered as he was signaled to sit down right afterwards. The chair was comfortable, made of pure leather and very clean, just like the rest of.......everything. ""We were told to keep you updated on the girl's health. She is now stabilized and sedated, sleeping in her bedroom. She will need at least a day at bedside, no movement or force. We did not find any issues with the unborn child. As of now, everything seems perfect along those lines."" The doctor then took a breath, slapped his thighs softly, and stood up, putting the chair back in place, just like Junior had before. ""Well, that is all Mr. Levi. Thank you for your time.""<br/><br/>""No, thank you doctor. You've saved just another life. What would we do without you?""<br/><br/>""Oh sir, i'm only doing my part. We all have a part to play right? It's thanks to you that all this is possible though"" the Doctor responded.<br/><br/>Changing the subject, Mr. Levi stood to shake the doctor's hand. The two embraced like men, full of respect. ""Am I allowed to see her yet?"" Mr. Levi asked. The doctor's eyes widened. He wasn't sure if it would be correct to see her in such state, but he did not want to say no to Mr. Levi. ""Well sir, like I said, she is sedated. She is basically in a state of rest. Sleeping basically, but................a visit from our Mayor will not do her any harm sir. She'll be glad you personally stopped by once she awakens.""<br/><br/>With that, the doctor led his Mayor to the room where the young pregnant girl was located. People outside their rooms waved at Mr. Levi, but the Mayor did not wave back, he just nodded gracefully. As the two reached the front door of the room, The Mayor used his keys to open the door quietly, at the same time, the doctor started to enter behind him, but Mr. Levi turned to stop him. ""Please doctor, allow me some time with the newcomer, I wish to introduce myself to her"" the boss said. The doctor, with pure respect, let the Mayor enter alone and close the door behind him. He didn't worry about anything, knowing the goodness of his Mayor.<br/><br/>Bruce made sure to lock the door from the inside. Only he and Eli had the keys to all the rooms. With every step, Mr. Levi got closer to the girl who rested on the bed. He had yet to see her because he was not the one to bring her. As he sat on the edge of her bed, he turned to lock his eyes on her face. She seemed familiar, but he could not remember where he'd seen her before. Her complexion was more than perfect. She had not a single deformity or degradation, she was completely purified. Bruce couldn't help but to eye the girl from head to toe. He licked his lips completely with sin, lust showing all over his face. Then he started to show physical affection, taking advantage of her state. He ran his fingers up her arm to her cheek. His index finger swayed by the figure of her pink lips. Bruce then reached forward, placing his ear on her belly, along with his hand. He couldn't hear anything, so he moved on, again trying to put two and two together. He stared and stared, yet he couldn't figure out why this girl seemed familiar. There had been so many women in his life that it didn't even matter anymore. Soon enough, this girl would be sent away and they would find another to replace her. Then<i>that</i>girl would be sent away and the cycle would once again restart. Where they went didn't matter, what matter was that in return, Haywood would continue to prosper and lives will continue to remain in salvation. People would call it a sacrifice, Bruce Levi called it business.<br/><br/>The man then sat up from her bed and crouched over her forehead to kiss it. He gave her a small smooch and started out the door. ""Hope your child is born a businessman"" he commented before opening the door and going about his business. There were occassions where one regrets their choices, Bruce never experienced those occasions."

The kid was looked a few years younger than Shannon; but couldn't be over eighteen. He felt sorry for this guy... that he was so young and yet he was tracking down a group of murderers and rapists. Six months ago, that would have been something for the NOPD to handle, not some kid that could barely grow facial hair yet. Daniel didn't doubt that he could overpower this kid, but to many he would be seen as a deadly force. Had Emma gone through these changes too?<br/><br/>To Daniel; this new world was just a complication. His fellow soldiers would agree; it was just like being in the middle of a firefight, only 24/7. For Daniel, the only new thing that even slightly intimidated him was the fact that the dead had risen. What about all the men that he'd killed in war. Until his third year of service in the Army, Daniel had counted the number of men he'd put down with his M16. He'd gotten to sixty-three; which at the time horrified him. However, on one tour in Afghanistan his squad had been captured by a group of Al-Qaeda insurgents. After their second week in captivity, the US had sent a rescue team to retrieve them. During that tour he'd killed at least twenty-six men; and he quit counting. Daniel was no stranger to carnage...<br/><br/>But these were kids! These were people that used to be law-abiding, tax-paying citizens... They'd turned into soldiers themselves, but they'd had to fight for themselves in the worst way. No state-of-the-art military training, no top of the line weaponry; just a few weapons and a horde of re-animated corpses...<br/><br/>But even so; what supposed act of genius could this kid possibly have in mind? Daniel saw that he was capable of taking care of himself; but he acted like he was a military strategist... Daniel sighed, giving in. ""Alright. I'm listening."""

Here's a question for you, is the impulse to murder from when we were cavemen , and learned as a defense, or is it unnecessary action that comes from mislead peoples?

The gun was clutched tightly in Surges hand as blood was dripping down his chin from getting accidentally elbowed when the civilians panicked. Standing on the platform over looking the men and woman, soldiers and civilians alike scrambling, the fear was evident and they had a right to be afraid. Looking back at the fence large supply trucks were being pushed up against the thin metal, for a short time the fence would remain intact but it would not hold, the situation was quickly becoming dire.<br/><br/>""Colonel we need to move now, that fence is not going to hold for too much longer, it pains me to say it but we can't get them all out of here alive. There are too many and now our carrier trucks are keeping the fence up so we have even less space.""<br/><br/>Colonel Tobin turned and gave Surge a look that was between anger and understanding of his words, Tobin knew he was right but he could not leave innocent civilians to their death even if that meant sacrificing his own life. It was no big secret that Tobin and Surge did not get along, mainly because unlike Tobin Surge did what needed to be done and said what needed to be said regardless. Tobin was a bit softer then Surge and he was filled with honor and pride a combination that would no doubt lead to his demise.<br/><br/><i>""What would you have me do Surge? Just leave people to die while we run away! I won't do it no one deserves to die at the hand of these ZED's and I mean no one. We can hold that fence long enough to get everyone out!""</i><br/><br/>Surge shook his head at the Colonel, he was foolhardy and took too many risks, the truth was that if they did not start getting the trucks out of the base now the ZED's were going to surround the other side as well. The plain and simple fact was the fence was not the only concern, the concern was the discharge of gun fire drawing every ZED in twenty miles to their location thus trapping them on all sides. But Tobin was not thinking clearly and was concentrating on just what was in front of him and now what would soon be behind him.<br/><br/>""Tobin! I realize that you want to save these people and if it was any other way I would never question that.. but understand that all this commotion is drawing more and more of the ZED's to this location. If we wait any longer then we won't have and escape route either!""<br/><br/>Surge grabbed Tobins arm and turned him around to let him look at the full picture that he needed to see. No doubt Tobin saw the hordes of Zed's making their way to the base and they were coming on all sides now, slowly but surely. Surge saw the look in Tobin's eye's it was a look of defeat and a look that said he finally realized what Surge was trying to say, there was no way to get everyone out, if they tried then their entire exit route would be covered by ZED's in a matter of thirty minutes or less.<br/><br/><i>""Major prepare for evacuation now! We can't wait any longer, who ever isn't on the trucks in the next five minutes... we have to leave them!""</i><br/><br/>Tobin hesitated but gave the command as Major Benson gave a simple nod of acknowledgment, however the shrill screams made both Tobin and Surge turn their attention to the far fence to the east. Surge's heart beat spiked as he saw the fence was toppled and the ZED's were now pouring into the camp like a tidal wave, turning to Tobin Surge spoke quickly.<br/><br/>""We have to move quickly Colonel our time is now at zero, get the trucks moving before its too late, I will try to hold them off with whatever men I can find!""<br/><br/>Surge jumped from the platform and hit the dusty ground, the ZED's were now closing the gap towards the trucks with the civilians and there was nothing to stop them. He had to stall them if nothing else.<br/><br/><i>Surge!""</i><br/><br/>Turning Surge caught an M16 that Tobin tossed to him, looking at Tobin it was obvious that they may both very well be in their final hours, and the hatred between the two was now gone from either of their eyes. With a simple nod Tobin jumped from the platform and disappeared onto the other side and was barking orders at a quick pace. Surge turned away as he quickly ran off in the opposite direction, the gun fire in the distance quickly became visible as the other soldiers were desperately trying to fight off the horde of ZED's but it was obvious they were close to giving it up all together.<br/><br/>""Olsen, Blake, Simpson form a line now! We have to hold them back, make your shots count!""<br/><br/>The soldiers turned and quickly nodded their heads, the line was formed quickly as Surge took the right end of it, the Zed's were numbering in the hundreds, but the make shift buildings and barricades were making them bottle neck to get through.<br/><br/>""Aim at the opening in the barricade and take them down, short controlled bursts, make sure to cover your butts and back off slowly as they advance! We can't kill them all but we have to hold them for at least a couple minutes!""<br/><br/>There was a chorus of yes sir's as they all raised their rifles and shots began to sound off from down the small line of men, the ZED's in front dropped to the ground tripping the ones behind them. Surge raised his rifle and pulled off a couple precious shots and shot the nearest ZED's in the forehead spraying blood on the ZED's behind them.<br/><br/>""Back up slowly watch your footing!""<br/><br/>The line took a small step back as short controlled bursts kept sounding off, Zed's were dropping right and left tripping the other ZED's behind them, but it was a futile fight, backing away a little more shots kept sounding off as the ZED's kept falling and then being replaced by even more from behind. Soon they would run they would have no choice, and Surge was about to give the order but the scream from their left flank through him off. Turning his head Olson was on the ground a portion of his neck was already gone, tore out by the ZED that obviously surprised him from his right left side.<br/><br/>""Olson!""<br/><br/>Surge raised the rifle and shot the ZED dead in the head as its brain matter splattering the tent near by, Surge knew that Olson was dead and there was nothing any of them could do now for him.<br/><br/><i>""Watch out Sir!""</i><br/><br/>Surge turned his head towards the voice and saw a ZED reaching to grab him from his right side, Surge instinctively brought the rifle over and slammed the ZED straight in the face with the butt of the weapon. In one fluid motion he turned the rifle and shot it straight in the head wasting his last bullet in the clip. The screams were coming everywhere now as the ZED's broke their line, Surge brought the rifle down again and cracked another ZED in the head knocking it to the ground, tossing the rifle down he pulled out his Beretta's and clicked them. Raising his right one he shot a ZED at point blank range, blood sprayed his outstretched arm as he turned and shot another one down in front of him. Looking on things seemed to slow down as Blake and Simpson were on the ground, their intestine were being eaten as they slowly tried to stop the death that could no longer be avoided. Surge raised his Beretta as he pulled off one shot then a second, the soldiers were instantly dead now from the head shots, the only thing he could do for them now. Surge turned and started to run down the path as the ZED's were advancing on all sides and trying to close him in.<br/><br/>Squeezing the trigger a couple more times Surge brought down the nearest ZED's but there were too many, as hard as it was to fathom it seemed that he had trapped himself in this horde of dead. Coming to a stop his path was blocked ahead already and the ZED's were now closing the circle completely, it was over for Surge now all he could do was fight, there was no escape route he could take. Raising his guns he was intent on making this an end worthy of remembrance however the sudden explosion damn near knocked him off his feet as body parts started flying towards him, Surge covered his face as he saw the opening now in the circle of ZED's.<br/><br/><i>""Come on Surge move your ass!""</i><br/><br/>Seeing Tobin Surge realized Tobin had used a grenade on them, there was no time to think about it, Surge bolted as fast as his legs could take him raising his Beretta he took a couple more shots keeping the circle open. Running through them he reached Tobin as they both ran side by side the dead now on their tail. The truck was just ahead of them and it was ready to go, both of them ran their ragged breathing covered by the sound of the moans and groans of so many ZED's. Reaching the truck Surge wrenched open the door and quickly jumped in, turning he reached his hand for Tobin but he was no longer their. Quickly looking around Surge saw Tobin just a short distance away, he was holding his arm, the blood coming between the cracks of his fingers. Surge didn't ask or need to be told to realize Tobin was not coming with them, he had been bitten was infected there was no other conclusion. As Tobin turned and looked at Surge, they locked eye's for a couple minutes, the whole world seemed to freeze as Tobin merely smiled and nodded his head. Turning his head away from Surge he faced the relentless horde before him. Surge closed the door of the truck as it was now in motion, the last thing any of them heard was a loud explosion as the truck went at top speed out of the camp and towards the unknown.<br/><br/><b>Current Day<br/><br/><img src=""/smilies/usa.gif""/> Surge - Haywood outskirts</b><br/><br/>With a click that was barely audible a flame licked up from the small half filled bic lighter, licking the tip of the cigarette the cherry burned in the feigning light of the day, a whiff of smoke filled the air as Surge took a drag off the Marlboro black between his lips. Removing the cigarette from his mouth and between his fingers, he reached down and grabbed the binoculars around his neck and raised them to his eye's to survey the town before him. In the distance there were a couple ZED's roaming around, but nothing he was worrying to much about, his only real concern at this point was if there were other people around. But like many of the towns he had passed through this place too seemed to be barren on the exception of the couple ZED's here and there, six months had passed by, six months and for almost one month of that Surge had been alone, passing from town to town looking for supplies. An a couple of those towns had been home to bandits and marauders, desolate low lifes who in regular society thrived off of stealing and hurting others, and now the same who felt that they could do what they wished. The only difference was that there was no longer nothing to keep you safe from their deeds. Surge has learned that well, all those people from the Camp were now either dead or scattered into the four winds because of it, it seemed that the end of the world was also the start of a new world, one without laws or regulation... just chaos.<br/><br/>Lowering the binoculars Surge took another drag off the cigarette and let the smoke linger in his mouth for a couple moments before letting it leave his lips. This part of the town seemed pretty bare which was to be expected given it was just outside the main town. Letting the binoculars drop Surge stood up and picked up his black pack from the ground and put it over his shoulders, clasping the front straps he secured it and began to move forward, if there was truly anyone around he would soon know.<br/><br/><i>Ten minutes passed . . .</i><br/><br/>Surges boots made cracking noises as he walked across the cracked up pavement of the gas station, behind him the two ZED's he had scouted from before were now on the ground with slits in each of their foreheads, there eye's now milky white with true death. Approaching the gas station slowly Surge gripped the Hitachi in his hand hard enough that his knuckled were white, something that had become so normal he rarely noticed it much anymore. The gas station seemed almost untouched on the exception of the missing pumps, nothing left but a hole in ground in that sense, long gone for who only knows how long. Avoiding the holes in the cement Surge came to the front door of the gas station, stepping beside it he reached his hand out and rapped on it hard three times and waited. There was no sound from inside he could hear, slowly he tristed the knob of the door and pushed it open, it creaked slightly as it stopped against the wall behind it. Surge walked in silently letting his foot steps become light and silenced, the gas station was as expected, pretty much in shambles, it was obvious someone had already been here before him. The shelves were knocked over and empty, the register broken into pieces on the floor and anything that could have been scavenged gone, nothing left but the dust. Surge put his hand on the counter and pulled his fingers across the top collecting the dust.<br/><br/>Was it truly possible that this is how the human race was to end? At the end of all things the human race eradicated by not just a disease but by the same people the day before they were having breakfast with? For so long the United States Government had predicted a chemical attack on the states, could this be the results of a chemical attack? These thoughts always seemed to cross Surge's mind now an days, not knowing if this was something that could have been prevented, but all together just thoughts that he would never truly know the truth too. All that was left is dust and thoughts and thats the end game of the human race it would seem, the ZED's they were the harbingers of it all. Looking up Surge saw a door that no doubt lead to a back office, walking over to it he casually put his hand on the knob and turned it, there was a metal grinding click, the lock had been busted, slowly opening the door his nose was hit with a nauseating smell. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out and LED flash light and clicked it on pointing it into the room. The site was one that he had seen more then once now but more or less was always still a sad site to see in the end. In the room was three bodies, one a man, one a woman, and one a child, a family.<br/><br/>Surge walked into the room fully, the three lay side by side on the floor, the empty bottles that once had pills were sitting upturned on the desk near the bodies. Surge sighed slightly as the sight even to him gave him a few pings of pain in his heart. He often wondered what went through the minds of the people who took their own lives, if they felt fear, or relief, or regret, the very thing they thought before they slowly passed on, the last thing they wanted, their dreams and the shattered world that ripped them away. There was a beauty in the passing and a sadness in the death, Surge just turned his head away and walked back outside the room closing the door, they were at peace and he would let them remain at peace together side by side. Exiting the gas station the wind blew hard against Surges body making his hair fly up, maybe there was no more reason to keep surviving and he should just let himself die. Surge knew that he would not take his own life, he couldn't do it however it did cross his mind every now and again that in the end is the pain really worth it now, to live in a world that is broken, is there truly anything worth living for anymore? He did not know the answers to these questions and chances were he never would, not until he was dieing, but none the less he would continue on, not because he had to but because he felt that there had to be some reason he lived while so many others died. Turning his back on the gas station he started walking up the barren deserted roads towards Haywood and whatever else might lay in his path."
17793,Walking Dead rp,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18723-walking-dead-rp,['Casual'],2014-03-30 21:37:00,QT,"<b>Floyd - Found</b><br/><br/>The day was not over, for it had just seem to begun. The New Orleans' sun graced the redneck's toned arm muscles, activating his tiny sweat glands, perspiration oozing through his sores. It seemed like an excess drought flooded his entire anatomy, but Floyd was merely overreacting. He'd been walking for hours on end, not finding a single indication that anyone had gone in the direction he was going. There were no tracks, there were no marks of burned rubber.......nothing. He traveled in an endless maze, heading somewhere, but ending up nowhere. His mind was set on finding Jessalyn, he had failed her once, he would not do it again. But it all seemed hopeless. He struggled through the hardship of survival, facing walkers in his condition. He had not eaten since their departure, burning calories like the nicotine of a cigarette. He had many thoughts of giving up, setting camp and finding a way to hunt for food, but his conscious didn't grant him such blessing. It forced his legs to continue walking, putting aside his wound and focusing on finding the girl. Before, he did not want any attachment with her, but after experiencing the effects of being alone in this new world, aside from his past, Floyd finally came to his senses. He concluded that his life would be taken if he had nobody to help him keep it. For so long he'd been alone that that little event with Jessalyn, the talk in the woods, changed his perspective. Though in that incident Floyd was not graceful of having her around, - instead he pushed her away - after walking hours in solitary, the Lone Ranger finally decided to abandon his sobriquet.<br/><br/>But even with his never ending attempts, the journey before him did not seem to aid him in his task. After so long, he knew he was heading in the wrong direction, but could not stop because he wasn't one-hundred percent assured. Through those long hours, Floyd had put down about three or four walkers, not many, but enough to worsen the status of his wound. In a few hours, a cut like that would not completely close, if not at all. His bandanna was still wrapped around it, completely soaked in sweat and blood. He limped as he walked, forcing himself through the aching pain. It had gone numb just a couple of minutes before he started seeing cabins and small homes along the forest side. Most of the doors along there were all wide open. The windows were shattered and the glass lay on the empty porches. If Jessalyn was in one of them, the doors would of obviously been closed. So he kept moving, keeping his near-shut eyes as open as he possibly could. He felt that if he clenched them close for even a second, he'd miss her. The blood down his chin had finally dried up, allowing him to easily wipe it off with the collar of his tank. He still had a stream of red running down the side of his face though, but that didn't bother him any.<br/><br/>Soon enough, a shadow could be seen in the distance. Floyd couldn't make anything of it because of the barricading heat waves on the road. Seconds after catching that first shadow, three or four more decided to form around it. Without keen eyesight, one would not be able to see the shadow in the first place. That's when the peaceful sound of the New Orleans' breeze and swamps came to halt. The Prairie Warblers stopped their chirping as crows roamed the overhead sky, filling it with their black taint. It was indicated through mother nature and the innocent those shadows were not neighborly. With that in mind, Floyd used whatever strength he stored to rush into the tawny woods. His olive-green tank provided him extra protection through camouflage. He threw himself on the grass and dirt, falling victim to the descending leaves, getting covered like a sprinkled doughnut. Floyd waited there silently and motionless, praying to JC that whatever entity he had seen, did not return their gaze. If whoever was out there were to see him, he was most definitely outnumbered. From where he lay, he still had visual of those shadows. He could see their movements perfectly, they wouldn't get the jump on him. But suddenly, the entire situation changed.<br/><br/>The shadows started to jog up the road, the one in front pointing towards Floyd's general location. Floyd could then hear them starting to speak, but could not make anything of their words. It was most definitely English, but still incomprehensible. As they got closer, Floyd started to crawl backwards, still not certain if it was he they saw. Then, their sentences were understandable when they reached about twenty feet from Floyd. ""He's in there gents! In them woods! Get em'!"" the leader of the group said. The two beside him started first as the head honcho stayed behind. Another man appeared from nowhere, so that made a total of four armed rugged men. With knowing their intentions, Floyd stood and started rushing through the woods at a decent pace. But his handicap didn't allow him to run as fast as he possibly could. As he ran, his boots broke tree branches underneath them, causing a cracking sound every step he took. He turned his head to see two of the men following him at a distance. One of them suddenly started to shoot, missing his target by a couple feet. They were catching up to Floyd, because they were running faster than him. In attempt to lose them, Floyd turned left and hid in some bushes blocked off by a giant tree. The two men then stood before the bush, looking around as they spoke to each other.<br/><br/>""Where the hell did he go? Dammit, this always happens when Smith is leading the group. Tyler's gonna be pissed if we don't come back with something"" one of the men told the other. The other one just nodded in agreement, sweat running down both their faces. ""C'mon, lets keep going, he couldn't of gotten far.""<br/><br/>After the two armed men were way out of reach and sight, Floyd came out of the large bush, using the tree to regain his balance. Since his knees were locked up for a while, it was hard to get back up. He looked in the direction of the men, then turned to walk in the opposite, but was met by the stock of a rifle. It was jammed into the side of his head hard enough to knock him unconscious. ""We caught our self quite a trophy here didn't we Smith?!"" the armed man called out. Smith, the man in charge at the time, just laughed hysterically. Floyd's eyes then completely shut as his entire being went black.<hr/><b>Eli - The Road</b><br/><br/>It had been about thirty minutes of travel so far and everything outside the van windows was still the same. The trees seemed the same height, the grass was equally cut even though there was nobody to maintain it. The clouds in the sky seemed symmetrical, but they were obviously not the same. Eli's eyes were playing tricks on him, presenting him with false hope. He was locked in the darkness of a van heading to meet up with Haywood's benefactor. For some many years he'd been the pawn of a man who thought himself a king. In the process of doing business, he lost the person he loved the most - his wife.<br/><br/>It happened three months after the finalized creation of Haywood, which was actually nameless until the incident. Survivors from all around the area started to populate the complex. Rooms were going as fast as walkers inhabited New Orleans. But as Haywood continued to increase in personas, materials declined quickly. The supply of food was quickly fading, not even Mr. Levi's armada could hunt fast enough to resupply. Medicine and clothing were also distributed faster than they could be replenished. It was chaos in Haywood as people fought for rations. Mr. Levi of course stopped these materialistic feuds as quickly as they started, but this continued for yet another month. Then it all changed when Mr. Levi met a man named Tyler during a hunting mission. According to Mr. Levi, Tyler and his group had enough supplies to last them years. But the man's views and beliefs differed from Mr. Levi's. The two were completely different, yet they knew how to run a business. They set up a contract with each other in order to help Haywood get supplies from Tyler. Tyler would supply Haywood with necessities, as long as Haywood provides Tyler and his society with women. At first, Mr. Levi hesitated to the underlined degree of the pact, but he feared the death of his creation. He was a power-hungry man in search of a nation he alone could govern. Before the virus spread, it was said that Mr. Levi was a politician. Nobody can vouch for that information though. Anyhow, the contract was set up and in advance, Tyler gave Mr. Levi food, medicine, water, clothing, etc. But in return, he waited to be presented with two women of high caliber. Tyler said that he wishes to repopulate the world or something like that. That vision is very obscure, it doesn't make much sense. But it didn't seem that Mr. Levi cared what the women were used for, he would sacrifice as many of them as he possibly could in order to continue his reign. Haywood was said to be a democracy, but it was more of a monarchy where one person held supreme power over all.<br/><br/>Eli was close to Bruce because he saw Haywood as a haven. He did everything he could to further its progress, just like Bruce. They became close because Eli actually saved the man's life once from a hoard of walkers during a scouting mission. Bruce named him number two because of their mutual trust. Eli didn't find out of the contract Bruce had with Tyler until he figured it out. Week by week young women started to disappear, taken by Mr. Bruce himself by pairs. Eli questioned this incident and brought it up with Mr. Levi. The mayor hesitated to give explanation, but since he trusted Eli, he decided it was time to share the truth. Eli was also a businessman, but could not enforce such trade relations with anybody. He questioned the actions of his Mayor, having a hard time to accept it. In due time though, he understood Mr. Levi's reasoning for carrying out such malevolence. He and his wife had everything they needed because of Mr. Levi's ultimate decision of sacrificing life. It was most definitely wrong, but in this new world, one must do everything in their power to survive, it was the new law of the land.<br/><br/>About six months into Haywood, young women used for trade were beginning to be scarce. Haywood's population persisted of men, the elderly, and children under fifteen years of age. Tyler was very picky when he obtained his women. He inspected them like if it were a vehicle, making sure nothing was wrong with it at all. But as women became scarce, Mr. Levi had no choice but to give away the eldest female children. From what Eli remembers, Bruce had traded about five or six girls ranging from twelve to fifteen. It was a horrific sight for a man who would soon be a father. Eli's wife at the time was pregnant, she was three months into motherhood. The man known as Tyler visited during that third month. He came to scout the remaining women of Haywood, trying to see what he could take in order to continue their monthly trade consistency. And ironically, Tyler had his eyes set on Eli's wife. She was already with child, which would give even greater purpose to Tyler's vision. She was already set to provide the world with yet another human being. It was the perfect woman for Tyler. But of course, Eli fought this arrangement. He was not going to allow his wife to be abducted by such a demonic being.<br/><br/>That day, Eli was called into the administration office by Bruce Levi. The mayor instructed Eli that he shall allow his wife to be taken. Eli became furious by this and punched Bruce in the face, telling him off and going against his will. With complete calmness, Bruce returned to tell him<i>why</i>he should allow his wife to go with Tyler. He explained that Haywood was no longer getting the necessary materials to continue running and that without this trade, they would have no way of surviving another six months. He told him that Tyler agreed to pay them double the usual for the pregnant woman, that he had more use for them because of their fertility. This trade would give the people of Haywood, which were about thirty at the moment, in addition to the armed guards, and would allow them haven for future months. For those who don't know, Bruce Levi was a great motivational speaker during his era, his words could conform to the listener, making them understand the topics of which he spoke of. He could change ones views within minutes into his speeches, it was an incredible skill. That is why all the people of Haywood respect him, because he knows how to make them believe he is right. But Eli did not fall for such wordplay. He forced himself to reject Bruce's decision, fighting against him verbally to stop the trade of his wife. With the jerk of his wrist, armed men had entered the office and escorted Eli into the cells. He was forced into complete isolation and darkness for weeks, allowing him to understand why Bruce did what he did. When one is alone for more than three weeks, he starts to think, to develop new ways of seeing things. People say that the apocalypse changes people, Eli says that people cause change. But in that time, he learned to accept what had happened and also changed as a person. He understood that survival didn't belong to those who cared for others, but for those who only cared for themselves and their own personal status. Though he cared for his wife, her sacrifice was the basis of his own survival. For his sacrifice, Bruce named their haven after Elijah. The town of Haywood<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><hr/><b>Bruce - Monarch</b><br/><br/>A soldier entered the office, knocking at Bruce's door gently. Of course, he was allowed in and started to speak with respect. ""Mr. Levi, there was yet another incident in the mess hall. The woman attacked one of our men, stabbing him in the arm. From what I was informed, it was he who started to verbally abuse the girl, forcing her hand.""<br/><br/>""Is that all soldier?"" Mr. Levi asked.<br/><br/>""Yes sir"" the soldier answered, arms tightly by his side. Bruce wrote something down on a sheet a paper before him. The soldier was hoping it had nothing to do with him, which it didn't. ""What was the soldiers pass number?"" Bruce added. ""Pass number 3351 sir. His name is Antonio Ward"" the soldier answered. Bruce nodded pleasingly, writing down everything the soldier had informed him. He then stood up, walked around his desk, and patted the soldier's shoulder. ""Thank you soldier. Now, call everyone forth for a town meeting. I will be giving a speech in the center of Haywood in neutral zone. Make sure everyone is there, keep a count of all the people that attend. Make sure the numbers equal these"" Bruce commanded, handing the soldier another piece of paper with all the tenant's names. He then walked out of his office and headed for the buildings exit-entrance doors, ready to go into town.<br/><br/>""Where is Antonio Ward now?"" he asked the soldier. ""He is in the infirmary sir, having the doctor attend his wound."" With a nod, Bruce now walked through town heading for the infirmary. It was a short walk due to it being right across the administration office in neutral zone. Neutral zone was the region of Haywood where all tenants were allowed. The private sector of town was where only those with passes were authorized. If a tenant entered the private sector with malice intention, then he/she would be given a warning by the guards to return to neutral zone. If that certain tenant did not listen, then probable force of action would be employed.<br/><br/>After Bruce reached the infirmary, he had a talk with Antonio Ward about what happened. He said it was fine and that he shouldn't do it again, to prevent any further incident with the girl. From Antonio's point of view, he had been forgiven by the mayor. But after Bruce exited the infirmary building, two armed men entered and dragged Ward out and towards the cell located outside of Haywood gates. Some may have called it overreacting, but this girl was basically priceless at this time. Eli is the man that would deal with Tyler and make a perfect trade. Before he left, Bruce had informed Eli that he wanted triple the usual for this girl. She was young and in perfect condition. Her complexion was clear and white and had vibrant colored hair.<br/><br/>As the soldier called forth all the people of Haywood, Bruce slowly walked towards the center of the complex. He watched people exit their rooms and walk in his direction with a smile. He couldn't help but smile back, feeling how truly powerful he was, having all these people's lives on the palm of his hand. They were nearly uninformed puppets, waiting to be controlled by his strings. He stood on a podium, behind him, a statue of Andrew Jackson on a horse, holding his hat highly in praise. He took that statue from central New Orleans, forced his men to waste their day to obtain such a treasure and symbol. And now, he stood before it like a god, facing his people head on with his hands held high. Now he waited for everyone to appear, it was the time of revelation. It was time for unity."

The young man seemed like he might have been a politican before the outbreak. He was very good at either evading her questions all together or answering them without really answering them.<br/>He was just leading her back to her room when they got the news that Levi was having them all get togther for an announcement of some kind.<br/><br/>""It's not a regular thing,"" the young man told her. ""Something must have happened or is about to change.""<br/>Jess was worried, her stomach got into knots. ""Can I just go lay down?"" she asked, hoping she could skip it.<br/>He shook his head. ""Unfortunately announcements mean everyone has to come. I'll try to get you a chair though,"" he said kindly and led her towards the center of town.<br/>There were no seats so he had her hold on to his arm for support. There were more people here then she'd thought at first. And what she saw only heightened her worry.<br/>There were no women between the ages of 12 and 40. Men and boys everywhere, but no young women or teenage girls and very few children. She didn't like it at all. But questioning her guide about it was useless. It was one of the questions he wouldn't answer.<br/>She was looking around, wondering when she could get some water to drink when she heard a man start speaking.<br/><br/>The voice...<br/>It couldn't be...<br/>Jess slowly looked up... and froze, her eyes wide with terror.<br/>It was him. There was no way she could ever forget that voice, that face, those eyes...<br/><br/>Levi, the leader of these people, was the man who had gotten her pregnant...<br/><br/>Jess wanted to run. She wanted to scream. But she couldn't do anything. All of the blood left her face and for a moment she was afraid she was going to faint.<br/>""Hey,"" the young man said, taking her arms gently. ""You feeling okay?""<br/>Jess couldn't even answer him. Her vision had gone blurry. She felt hot and cold at the same time. Everything was a blur and voices became a hum in her ears.<br/>The next thing she knew she was sitting on the ground with the doctor's face close to hers, looking into her eyes.<br/>""She's suffering from some kind of shock, and her rapid breathing and tears indicates a panic attack.""<br/>Rapid breathing? Tears? Jess hadn't even been aware of either.<br/>""... away from the crowd... cool and quiet... dark... possibly a sedative..."" words floated around her. She struggled to make sense of it all.<br/><br/>She had to get away. She had to get away from here. Had to escape.<br/>He was the leader of this place...<br/>There were no women... no babies...<br/>He was going to do something to her... kill her... kill her baby...<br/>Had to get away...<br/><br/>""Get away to where?"" a voice asked her. A voice? The doctor.<br/>""Get away from him..."" she murmured, her eyes wide and voice trembling with fear. ""Don't let him... he'll... my baby... don't let him...""<br/>""When did all of this start?"" the doctor asked the young man beside her.<br/>""When Levi started to talk. She just started shaking and things got worse from there.""<br/>The doctor looked at her thoughtfully, then towards Levi. 'I wonder....' he thought and shook his head. Whatever the case, they needed to get her to calm down before she did any damage to herself or the child.<br/>""Miss? Look at me alright? I need you to try and calm down. This elvated state or distress could harm the baby.""<br/>Jess had to focus hard, but she got the gist of what he was saying. For her baby's sake she had to calm down. But with the sound of his voice she couldn't.<br/><br/>""Please,"" she begged in a whisper. ""Please, let me go. Let me out of here. Don't let him hurt me.""<br/>""Who? Who is going to hurt you?"" the doctor asked.<br/>""Him,"" Jess whispered and pointed at Levi.<br/>The doctor frowned. It seemed his suspiscions were confirmed. ""Help me get her back to her room,"" he told the young man.<hr/>Things weren't much better once they reached her room. Jess still shook, still had that wide-eyed terrified look of a scared kitten.<br/>""Please I'm begging you, let me leave. Just open the gate and let me leave.""<br/>""We can't do that,"" the doctor insisted. ""You wouldn't last five mintues on your own.""<br/>""I won't last half that long once he realizes who I am,"" Jess insisted.<br/>""And just who are you?"" the doctor asked.<br/>""I am the woman he forced to have sex in return for safety,"" she said bitterly. ""I am the woman he abandoned after he got me pregnant.""<br/>""The baby is Levi's?""<br/>""Yes,"" she answered. ""Now please, let me go.""<br/>The doctor patted her shoulder in sympathy. ""I'm truly sorry, but I can't."" He said and turned to the door. ""I will return soon and check on you. You have my word nothing will harm you or your baby. I swear on my own life.""<br/><br/>Jess watched him leave, watching her hope leave along with it. She heard a key turn in the lock.<br/>She covered her stomach with her hands, trying not to cry. ""We'll be alright..."" she promised her baby. ""We'll be alright... Lynn and Floyd will come for us... we'll be alright..."""

It started off with his personal introduction, Bruce once again telling them who he was before the virus spread, before everything turned to shit. He told them about his politician life as mayor of Mississippi, how he'd have to make decisions that changed peoples life for the better. Bruce told them about bringing that same skill into Haywood, how he still makes live-changing decisions to help the people prosper and remain in sanctuary. He speech continued into more important matters, such as new rules set for Haywood. ""From now on, we will be working an additional hour. This means that everyone's curfew will increase an hour. It used to be at eight pm, it will now be at nine pm. This will allow us all to increase our water supply, having people work in the wells for an extra hour, we will increase our crop production, again, allowing our farmers and planters work for yet another hour. Our hunting crew will also be taking an extra shift, helping bring in more food and supplying our rations so we can distribute properly and with efficiency.""<br/><br/>That's when a small ruckus started in the audience. Bruce continued to speak to the people, but his eyes lay on noise that sprouted out of the bunch. At first he couldn't make out who it was, who was speaking to each other, but then, he found them. There were three, ""...........and we will continue to to protect the gates, so we remain safe,"" and they were louder than they thought. People started to look at them, trying to shush them in order to hear their mayor speak. In result, the girl was taken away by the doctor and some young man. It was obviously the doctor because of his wardrobe. The girl was pregnant of course, so she was distinguished even quicker than the doctor. As the speech continued, two soldiers approached the side of the podium. They stared at Mr. Levi as if waiting for his command, knowing what they were supposed to do. In the middle of his speech, the turned to the soldiers - as he still spoke - and nodded in allowance.<br/><br/>The two soldiers then left Bruce's side and walked around the crowd normally, not pulling any sort of attention to themselves. They caught the room the doctor took the girl and waited patiently outside of it. They couldn't hear what they were saying because Bruce was speaking above all noise. The man had lungs of steel and the voice of a great legend. Anyhow, the two soldiers waited outside until the doctor came back out and locked the door behind him. As a surprise, on of the soldiers took the doctors arm as the other escorted him aside from the crowd. ""You're goin against policy doctor. That's too bad."" The soldiers then disappeared with the doctor, nobody saw the incident because they all had their attention towards their leader.<br/><br/>Bruce could see the soldiers escort the doctor out, but he did not see them with the boy. As he continued to gather the the crowd in unity, he looked for the young man. It took him a while, but he found him. Then the unexpected happened, Bruce stepped away from his podium, ""........and I will continue doing everything in my power to protect all of you.....,"" and walked into the crowd. ""I will protect you"" he said, putting his hand on the shoulder of a random tenant. ""I will protect you as well"" he said to an old lady, revealing his white teeth with a smile. He did this to a couple of the pedestrians, old people, children, old men, grown men. Then he reached the young lad who helped the doctor and the girl. Everyone gave way to their Mayor, allowing him to get around fairly and easily. Bruce then placed his hand on the young man's shoulder, staring directly into his eyes. ""I will protect<i>you</i>. I will protect the young men of Haywood, helping them flourish in this new world."" He then poked the lad's chest. ""You will be nourished into a man. You will raise children and have a family. You will be just like us"" he finished, his pupils slightly dilated. His eyes were red and his hand patted the lad's cheek. He then forward to reach the boy's ear, whispering into it, ""You did this to yourself."" Then he walked away with a smile, waving to all his people and exiting the gates of Haywood in a vehicle. The people cheered as he drove away, then resumed their daily duties. They spoke to themselves about working harder and ideas on how to further the prosperity. They never doubted Levi, not even with his lack of presence in the town. He'd been supplying them with sanctuary for about nine months, maybe more.<br/><br/>Aside from the town, outside the Haywood gates, the doctor now sat, all tied up, on a chair. He was in the a small deserted building called the cell block. This is where people that went against their Mayor's word were 'tried fairly'. The doctor had his hands and feet tied by a strong rope. He had a beam of light shining directly on him, as if he was in an investigation room. But on the rear corner was the body of large man, naked and completely covered in blood. His skull was bashed into his face, his entire body crippled by a bat. The body wasn't discomposed, so he hand't turned into a walker, he was killed a human. On his torso, he had been engraved with the tip of a blade. He was even cleaned up so that the engraved words were distinguishable. The name of their town ""HAYWOOD"" was cut into his flesh. It was a disgusting view, but it was the effect of treachery. Soon enough, the door to the building opened, and from the entrance came forth the Mayor, Bruce Levi.<br/><br/>""What the hell is this Levi? Why am I here huh? For helping a young girl, the girl you told me to keep safe?""<br/><br/>""You see doctor, I understand where you are coming from, but see........I only instructed you to aid her when she was sick. But that's not the reason you are here. You left during my speech, which is actually going against one of Haywood's rules. As stated before,<i>everyone</i>is to meet when I give speech. That's the rule doct-""<br/><br/>""Oh c'mon Levi! Tell me the damn truth, why am I here?! You already killed another man, look! What are you? You sure aren't the man you say you are. As a tenant at Haywood, I had no idea what a monster you are! Nobody knows the truth do they? But do you think I'm stupid or something? I know what you do to all the girls that come into our little town, you give them away to some......some......benefactor or someth-"" he was then punched directly on the side of the jaw, causing blood to pour from his mouth.<br/><br/>Bruce then licked his lips with disbelief. A mere tenant was speaking to him like he was nothing. ""What the hell do you know doctor? Huh? I've given all those people everything they desire, so who cares how I get it. I do everything to keep them safe, wouldn't you?"" he asked sarcastically, already knowing the answer. He then threw yet another fist into the man's stomach. ""So my suspicions about you were right. You know what's going on and now you're trying to get this girl out aren't you? But see, if you do that, then Haywood doesn't get to eat for three more months. You're not only sacrificing your own life, YOUR SACRIFICING EVERYONE'S!"" he yelled, running his already bloody fist across the man's face yet again. Already the doctor looked like one of the walkers, his face completely filled with blood, yet he still held breath. The doc coughed a couple of times, spitting out blood onto the rough ground. The soldier waited by the door, watching their Mayor take action. They had no words, just kept silent and watched patiently. In their eyes, he was doing the right thing.<br/><br/>Bruce then ripped the doctors shirt open. He could see his chest, hairy like a beast. ""You've failed us doctor. You've failed all of Haywood with your treachery. Now you will forever hold image in your heart!"" Bruce then took a knife from his belt and started to cut letters into the man's chest. Blood squirted as the man screamed louder than a pregnant woman giving birth. ""COVER HIS MOUTH!!"" Bruce commanded the soldiers, who moved quickly and did just that. The doctor continued to yell, but his screams were silent. His tears were shedding like his blood, running down his face fusing with the red. ""You've failed all your friends doctor! You've failed Tommy, Jim, Mrs. Marietta, James, you failed that young man who helped you with the girl!"" Bruce said, finishing the carving of the word 'Haywood' into the man's chest. If he did not die from the loss of blood, he would soon die from what was next.<br/><br/>The doctor's head bobbed to each side of his shoulder like a potato sack. Bruce had sprayed blood all over his face, his fist, his arms, his clothes, it was basically everywhere. ""It is too bad this happened Doctor, we really needed you back there. If only you'd of just spoken to me, maybe things would of been different.""<br/><br/>""I'm not.......*cough*.....the one....who failed. I-it-....was you who failed"" the doctor struggled to say, his one good eye looking directly at Bruce. ""That girl.....sh-she....bares......*gasping for air*.....your chi- *CRUSH!*<br/><br/>Suddenly, his entire skull collapsed inside itself as a hammer was bashed into his brain. Blood was gruesomely everywhere, all over the ground, all over his clothes, all over everything. After putting down the hammer and the blade, the soldiers handed their mayor a change of clothes. He started to change right there and then. Behind him was a bottle of water that he used to clean his hands and face, wiping away all the blood with a towel afterwards. ""Remove his clothes and bring both of these back to town after hours. Make sure everyone is in their rooms, then, hang these two on the entrance gates, there is no room for traitors here in Haywood. Anyone who disobeys will be engraved with their sins."" And with that, Bruce mounted his vehicle and returned to Haywood. It was still daylight, so the other soldiers could not return yet, not until nighttime.<br/><br/>During that time, the soldiers guarding the Haywood entrance noticed a man in the outskirts of their complex. They pointed their weapons at him as they opened the gates slightly. ""State your name and put down your weapons!"" one of the guards commanded, stepping out of Haywood, followed by three other men. They started to proceed towards him, surrounding the man, noticing the weapons he held. Those were most likely government issued weapons. ""We are not allowed to let you in until a full body cavity search. Then we will proceed by asking you questions, but that will be done inside. Right now, state your name and hand over all your weapons. If you fail to do so, we will use necessary force!"" the soldier finished. (this was said to Surge)"

She put her arm over the back of the seat and looked across at Daniel. “But I’m glad you decided to go back. I’m way too exhausted.” She looked toward Polyester who hopped into the back seat and smiled. “Soon, you’ll meet the other two.”<br/><br/>“Yeah well I think he’s eighteen and possibly too optimistic.” Daniel climbed into the driver’s side of the cab and turned on the ignition. He pulled around and turned away from the kid, heading back up the street towards the crossroads. He turned back left and continued towards the autogarage. “Glove compartment; in the back. There’s a map of the city. Get it out and find where the street and the railroad meet.”<br/><br/>Shannon nodded and opened the glove compartment. She frowned as she fished through and found the map a few moments later. “Okay, so, uh…” Her eyes scanned the map, reminding Shannon that she really didn’t know New Orleans much at all. “Could you pass me a light?” she asked, her frown deepening. Daniel took one hand off the wheel to pass Shannon a flashlight. She mumbled a thanks and resumed looking at the map. After a few minutes of silence, she said, “Mmhm, I think I got it. Do you want me to show you now or later?”<br/><br/>Daniel searched for a minute, checking his pockets. He then reached down to the door compartment and placed his hand and a black pen, offering it to Shannon. “Circle it.”<br/><br/>“Will do.” She took the pen and circled the location on the map. She continued looking at the map for a few more moments before she found the auto garage. Or at least, until she<i>thought</i>she found it. “Man, James won’t like what we have to tell him.”<br/><br/>“Pardon?” Daniel asked briefly. “What would James have to dislike?”<br/><br/>“Well… Your sister-”<br/><br/>“Emma.”<br/><br/>Shannon paused, unsure if she should even continue. “Yes, Emma. I guess I really did shoot at her. I’m sorry, again. And well, now … she’s been taken apparently.” She looked down at her hands which she was wringing in her lap. “I’ll help you, no matter what.”<br/><br/>“Shannon, you don’t owe me anything. I would have the same thing had it been she and I. You feared for yours and James’ lives, and you took measures to protect yourself.” He said plainly as he pulled up to the garage.<br/><br/>“No, you wouldn’t have.” She balled her hands into fists, the knuckles whitening. “You don’t know me. We just met.” She looked over at him now, tears forming in her eyes. “I’m all irrational and honestly so stupid sometimes. I’m trying so hard to change because of all this bullshit but I can’t help being emotional. I fired on an innocent girl and I don’t care what you say, Daniel, I can’t forgive myself right now.” After a moment of silence, Shannon wiped at her eyes with her sleeve. “I’m sorry. Come meet James and Amy, Poly’.” With that, Shannon exited the vehicle.<br/><br/>Amelia was never very good with children, she hadn’t any of her own and she had no siblings which had any children. However, she’d managed to pass the time by letting James take a closer look at her M4 which she’d taken the clip from so he could look it over safely. At times the conversation would run a little stale, but with the topic of how they’d both survived they both managed to keep a light conversation going. Amelia looked up as she heard a car pull up outside the garage, motioning for James to return the M4 which she loaded before making her way towards the door. “Stay inside James, I’m going to take a look and make sure it’s people we know” she said before opening the door, peering around the corner. Shannon popped into Amelia’s view, followed by Polyester and Daniel. Shannon gave the other woman a small wave before motioning for her to head back inside.<br/><br/>Amelia gave a small nod as a greeting towards Shannon, offering a small smile as she walked towards her. She looked back inside and gave James an ‘all clear’ gesture with her free hand before slinging her M4 onto her back. When Amelia saw the new guy, she started to worry about the amount of resources they had to spare. At this rate they’d need to go looking for more. Without a word she followed in behind Daniel, moving over to the table where her armour lay before leaning against it, folding her arms across her chest as she looked towards Shannon and then Daniel. She was about to ask a question when Shannon spoke up.<br/><br/>Once everyone was inside, Shannon started up introductions. She told Amelia and James that Polyester would be with them from now on. When everyone at least knew everyone else’s name, Shannon turned to Daniel. “So, about Daniel’s sister Emma...”<br/><br/>“I did not find Emma… We found a kid on the tracks but I think he’s too confident. He said he could find Emma for me and lead me to her. I said no, and now we’re here…” He then added, “and so is Polyester.”<br/><br/>“The kid said that she’d been taken by a group of armed men,” Shannon added. She let that information soak in for a moment. “I want to help Daniel rescue her.” She looked at everyone else in turn. “I want us all to help.”<br/><br/>Amelia listened intently to the information that the two gave. She didn’t know these people very well, nor did she know the new arrivals. But she had partnered herself with these people and so she knew she would invest herself into this as best she could. “I’m in” she said simply, “But I assume there will be a plan that doesn’t involve us assaulting where she is held and likely being shot” she said before correcting her posture to sit a little more comfortable, leaning against the table. “We’ll need a map, and as much details as we can get our hands on”<br/><br/>“Of course,” Shannon said. “I’m glad you’re already thinking ahead.” She gave a smile toward Daniel. “But I think we should probably rest for the night. I think we’re all pretty exhausted.”<br/><br/>“I’ll take first watch, you guys sleep.” Daniel removed his Keffiyeh and vest and set them on the table."

She mumbled to herself softly before realizing she was back in the real world. Her dreams had been mostly nonsense; A stream of people and locations running through her mind. She tried to roll over but found her arm pinned under something. She panicked momentarily and grabbed at what was pinning. Her fist found a handful of clothing, and Shannon realized it was just James laying on top of her arm. She knuckled the sleep out of her eyes with her free hand and gently nudged James, who rolled over obediently. Shannon smiled and sat up, allowing herself to let out a large yawn.<br/><br/>""Hrm... Daniel?"" She looked over to find Daniel still sleeping. She stared at the man for a few moments, examining him intently. He certainly looked a lot smaller on the ground, and his eyes were for once closed instead of studying their surroundings intently. He looked peaceful, which was far different than she remembered how Danny slept. He had always scowled in his sleep, and sometimes strangely grinned. She wasn't sure if Danny had ever had pleasant dreams.<br/><br/>Shannon got up and stretched her legs, alternating bending them at the knee. She then rolled her shoulders in an attempt to work all the kinks out. She never worked them<i>all</i>out. After all this, Shannon went to Amelia, who had last watch. ""How'd you sleep?"" she asked. It was such a normal question. Shannon felt it was always nice waking up with other people. She recalled parties with her friends, where everyone would sleep over and binge on pancakes in the morning. It was just too bad they didn't have pancakes today."

He'd slept away from the others, off by the mechanic's shelf. He felt the fabric of his bedroll and blanket against his bare back and chest. He lifted his head from his rucksack which he'd used as a pillow. The man rose, shrugging off his blanket and slowly standing up. He reached down and picked up his discarded white shirt from the garage floor and slid it back over himself.<br/><br/>He turned to face Amelia and Shannon after rolling up his bedroll and blanket. His raw voice was fresh and deep, but his throat tingled when he opened his mouth and spoke. ""Mornin', Ladies."""

But alas there were none, and so Amelia had returned to sitting on a chair with her carbine resting against her leg. When Shannon awoke and found her she offered her a small smile, ""Well, thank you"" she replied in her thick London accent. Amy had her armour back on now as well as her glasses just in case something had happened and she needed to be ready, but there was also another reason. She peered over as Daniel spoke, ""Good morning"" she replied before she stood and stretched her back, picking up the carbine and tossing it over onto her back.

They started poking at the bags.<br/>""Hey, these don't feel like garbage,"" one of them said and tore one open. It was full of stuffing from a mattress. They tore open another and found a pillow in it. Another held clothes and cans of food. ""There's something else here!"" the other shouted as he moved a bag and saw someone's foot. ""Jesus, it's the pregnant girl!""<br/>""What the hell is-"" they started to ask but trailed off when they saw the truck was empty, the driver working the gate open. ""Hey!"" they shouted. ""Stop or we'll fire!""<br/>The young man squeezed through the small opening he had made and ran. The guards shot at him but missed as he dodged. One bullet struck his shoulder but he kept running until he disappeared into the trees.<br/>""Damn it!"" the guard exclaimed.<br/><br/>Jess wanted to cry. The young man hadn't really expected this to work. He had used her as a distraction in order to get away himself. He had never intended to help her after all. Just another man who had lied to her and used her.<br/>The guards pulled her roughly from the truck bed and marched her at gun point to a room that had nothing in it. When they shut the door and locked it she realized it was a cell of some kind.<br/>Jess sat in the corner and cradled her stomach. ""We tried,"" she whispered. ""He left us here... but we tried...""<br/>She didn't know what was going to happen to her now. It terrified her to think that<i>he</i>might be on his way here. He would be livid she was sure. She had tried to escape and because of her someone else had escaped.<br/><br/>What had happened to the doctor? Had he been locked up too? She remembered his empathy and gentleness in taking care of her. She prayed he was alright.<br/>All she could do was sit and wait."

She made it sound hopeful. ""I'll wake up Poly and tell him to watch over James."" She walked over to the sleeping man and shook him awake. She smiled at him before explaining the situation. Then, she went to the tool desk to grab her back pack and gun. As she grabbed the items, Shannon paused and frowned at herself, realizing she hadn't had her clothes washed in a while now. They were beyond dirty, her green over shirt covered in muck and blood. Her jeans and the rest of the clothes in her pack were just as bad. It depressed Shannon far more than she figured it should, as there was a whole lot more to worry about than dirty clothing. Still, she remembered taking pride in what she would wear once upon a time. She had always been so meticulous in planning out her outfits, making sure everything always complimented each other. Both Danny and Monica had given her grief over her behavior, but the aspiring fashion designer had to take pride in something.

One of the people that was kidnapped happened to be at the church earlier when the raiders attack and they escaped, only to be kidnapped at the train tracks. He saw 3 raiders, one of which he killed, and there were at least 4 more at the tracks. That left a minimum of 6 raiders, but there only 5 in the group he was with, however there was almost certainly more of them at the base or out scouting. At any rate, even if they manage to succeed in the rescue mission, there would be numerous walkers around the area to the the inevitable firefight. Perhaps they could use the walkers to their advantage and use them to provide a distraction so they can get to the prisoners and escape, perhaps even unnoticed."

Aleck slurred. His mind was numbed. He had pillaged some liqueur from an old previously looted store. There had been enough bottles left to get completely wrecked with. He was heading back to the haven after drinking all night, having to abandon his rescue of Emma had not been an easy decision, Daniel seemed capable enough and he had thought about it after Daniel had turned down helping him. Even if he did rescue Emma, which he still believed he could, these raiders were not the first group Aleck had tangoed with before, what would he gain? Emma would definitely want to return with her brother and Aleck could not abandon Gwen.<br/><br/>Even with his mind infected with the numbing strength of alcohol he could think clearly, it was an ability he was only half grateful for. He wanted to lose himself but not even getting completely wasted could stop his mind from thinking straight, the only power alcohol held over him was over his emotional state freeing him of his pains and relaxing his muscles. He wouldn't even suffer a throbbing ache from a hangover.<br/><br/>An undead approached Aleck who was doing his best to continue drowning himself in his drink, he had in hand a tequila bottle, he'd already gone through a vodka, some captain morgan, and rum as well as a small flask of tequila, this last bottle was a much larger one and he was already down to the last three gulps. This undead shuffled closer, Aleck was suddenly tempted to simply allow the undead to bite him but as the undead reached a distance of just two feet his anger boiled. It was a sensation of rising strength and fury, in one powerful uppercut Aleck lifted the undead off the ground. This creature did not know the dangers of being struck and so it had been defenseless to the blow, it did not know how to protect itself and thus was at the mercy of Aleck's agile and destructive grace. Aleck was a big fan of martial arts, he had self trained and even sparred in gyms, one thing he knew about drinking was that it made you more flexible and because you were numb to the pain, made your blows carry more weight and impact force. Aleck had already delivered the impact force, using his enhanced agility he twisted around and gave the undead a powerful open palm blow that shoved it away and down. He heard ribs breaking whether it was from the impact of the open palm strike or from the deterioration of the bones he did not know nor care.<br/><br/>A few more blocks later he was in front of the thrift shop.<br/><br/>""Ah...,"" he sighed. He had already gotten rid of the bottle a couple of blocks back after draining it. The only way in that was easier than shoving and opening doors and defenses was to climb up the side of the building them sidle up to the second story window where he could drop himself in. The window was open. He started climbing.<br/><br/>Normally the climb was tiring but the numbness of drink gave him strength to pull himself up using the outward jutting bricks as stepping stones to reach the railing of the window. There were holes that Aleck had made just for the purpose of climbing below the railing. He used these holes now to bring his body up and over the railing and through the window. The balcony was small and was not designed to be stood upon, whatever purpose this redundant balcony served he could not ask its once living owner and had not the care to do so. Once through the window he found himself in the ""living room"". There was the hall that lead up here and in that hall were four doors, one leading to the restroom, one leading to the kitchen, and two leading to separate rooms. The kitchen was in the back where a chimney allowed cooking smoke and smells to flow out while both rooms were up at the front so that the both had windows that looked out towards the from of the thrift shop. Aleck and Gwen stayed in one room and used the other as a sort of living room.<br/><br/>He did not see his sister and believed her to be asleep. Deciding to take rest as well he removed his heavy coat and dropped himself on the large soft couch, a couch he had brought upstairs himself. Sleep took him quickly."

She waggled her eyebrows dramatically. ""They have a<i>Taaarget</i>.""<br/><br/>Shannon turned around and leaned back on the desk. ""I'm serious, looking in houses and convenience stores was getting me nowhere yesterday."" It also got someone dead, but Shannon wasn't in the mood to start talking about that. In fact, she wanted to involve talking about anything serious at all, at least for a little while. She couldn't begin to imagine what Daniel was going through and she desperately wanted to avoid upsetting him. She never had any siblings of her own to draw any experience off of, but she remembered how fiercely Danny had loved his younger sister, Josie. Even after he became estranged from his parents, he would do whatever he could to meet and talk with his sister. Maybe it was partly to piss off his mother and father, but Danny had never went for long without taking time to talk with Josie.<br/><br/>Shannon closed her eyes, trying to put Danny out of her mind. It was so hard to do, harder than with her other friends and even her own parents. She loved them all dearly, but her and Danny had a bond that they both knew would last until the day they died, and probably even beyond that. Their worlds had revolved around each other, and now her world was forever shattered."

Mr. Levi asked the soldier, his glass empty of vodka. ""We didn't know where to take her, so we insulated her in the cell.""<br/><br/>""What of the boy?""<br/><br/>""He escaped our gunfire.

We don't want anybody breaking in during our absence. The remainder of the soldiers are to protect Haywood at all cost. I doubt anything will happen, but its procedure"" Bruce instructed, standing from his leather seat and strapping on a shoulder holster. He placed his pistol in the leather hutch and walked outside the office as the informing soldier followed distantly.<br/><br/>""Get that truck back to the lot, nobody comes in nor leaves while I'm gone.""<br/><br/>""How about the man who we just checked sir?""<br/><br/>""Were there any inquiries that didn't suffice with regulation?

Tell him that I will personally come meet him when I return from my duties. Continue further with the schedule posted, but keep an eye on him.""<br/><br/>""Sir yes sir!""<br/><br/>After that little interaction between supreme leader and lieutenant, Bruce parted ways. He was accompanied by the two soldiers he called for and headed to the cell where the girl was kept. The road there was silent, not a single word was spoken, not a single question asked. Some said that Bruce Levi was in the zone at the moment, they feared breaking him out of it. There seemed to be a flaming aura precipitating from the pores of his skin, his body raising in temperature in the process. No only was it obvious from his facial expression, but also from his body language that he was inflamed in rage. Truth is, since this girl entered the gates of Haywood, it had been issue after issue. Bruce Levi has had his buttons pushed more in the last two days than he had in the last six months. This upcoming encounter would be the event of a lifetime for these soldiers, they will finally see Mr. Levi's true colors.<br/><br/>As they came up to the building the girl was being held captive, Bruce got out of the truck before it even parked, quickly rushing towards the entrance. His steps were heavy, his shoulders locked tightly as his fist clenched even more solid. For a second, Bruce stood in front of the door, his hand on the doorknob. At first it looked like he hesitated to open the door, but a closer look showed Bruce was just merely calming himself. He was taking soft breaths as if holding himself captive of the rage that wanted to embody him. Suddenly, his entire expression changed, a smile now covered his face. The two soldiers that were accompanying him were instructed to wait outside. Sadly, they weren't going to be allowed to watch the show.<br/><br/>Then the door opened, the line behind Bruce would blind the girl instantly. At first she would not know who entered, she would only spot a shadow, but once the door was closed, the obvious would become unmissable. Bruce, the father of her unborn child had arrived to meet in eternal feud. Unaware of his connection with her, he started off by turning on the lampshade on the small counter. She sat tied to chair, unable to move, but could still speak. ""I've been told you've been causing a lot of trouble in my town. First you stab one of my soldiers in the shoulder, you actually killed him from loss of blood did you know?"" he lied, trying to make her feel as bad as he possibly could. ""After that, I witnessed you exit the crowd during my speech. Did you know that doing so is against Haywood regulations? The punishment - DEATH!"" he yelled. His face was right before hers. His breath was blowing down her neck as he used his hand to weave along her forearm. Then with a sudden thrust, he slapped her across the face. ""You've caused me too much trouble! The only reason you live is because you're a goldmine to.....to these...Raiders. If you haven't already found out, I'll be trading you to a bunch of pirates for supplies to continue raising my town"" Bruce then pinched the tip of her chin. ""To us, you're a goldmine. We were very fortunate to have come across you. Maybe if circumstances were different things could have worked out for you, but its not like that."" His hands then sneaked passed her oblivious defenses and started up her thigh to her sacred chastity. ""It's too bad I have to give you away, but business is business"" then he backed away. ""You've forced my hand against my own. You've killed one of my men, you've killed our town's doctor. Who else will get hurt if you stay? It's too risky to keep you, so I bid you farewell. Thank you for your sacrifice, you will always be remembered. Until the deal is made, you will remain here. We will feed you, and when the time comes, we shall make you presentable for our benefactor.

""I am sorry to bring you into this world. This isn't what you deserve. You deserve so much more...""<br/>All she could do now was pray that her child was a boy.

She heard people talking outside of her cell, but no one opened the door.<br/>Life went on outside. No one noted or cared what had happened to the pregnant girl. No one asked questions. They went about their lives, not caring what price was paid to keep their lives simple and uncomplicated.<br/><br/>Jess knew she should hate them, hate him. But she just couldn't find it in her. Hate took too much energy. It accomplished nothing. It didn't help her. It didn't make things better.<br/>She was so tired....<br/>Her eyes dropped and her head lolled to the side. Her face stung from the blows he had given her. She was probably bruised, but not bleeding that she could feel.<br/>It was very uncomfortable, trying to sleep tied to a chair, but she was just too tired to try and stay awake anymore.<br/><br/>Maybe she would dream... dream of being far away from here... being somewhere safe and warm... with someone who cared about her and her baby...<br/>she'd be with Lynn and Floyd... they would be happy and healthy and safe...<br/><br/>She could dream..."

She placed her finger onto the map, tracing it along a road which lead to the mall before her eyes would flicker between various locations that lined the path. ""If the mall is too densely populated then getting in and out wont be possible. However, that's assuming we walk through the front door"" she said as she continued inspecting the map. She pointed her finger at the mall's employee car park before tapping her finger, ""However if we take a back entrance into it, we might avoid the denser areas where we'll be given a window in which to get in and out before the walkers notice us and start making a move..."" she continued. ""It's risky, but it can be done. At the least we could check it out, judge it and call it.

She basked in the glow of someone agreeing with her idea, content in the fact that she wasn't being totally unreasonable.

They were a group now, and Shannon didn't want Daniel to think she didn't care about his opinion. ""... Look, I understand your concern,"" she said, sounding apologetic. ""I agree with you, mostly.

Two armed soldiers escorted the new survivor into the complex as the rest of the men became suspicious of the loud sound that started.<br/><br/>""We gonna check it out?"" one soldier asked another, making sure he had bullets in the barrel. The other two soldiers nodded at the first, starting to walk towards the precise location where the sound had generated. It was still daylight, so they would soon enough find whatever was out there. They were hoping for a deer, but that was never the case. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it was a lone walker, hoards hardly ever reached a mile from Haywood. Usually, when a hoard is found during the hunt, they are eliminated on sight, to prevent any further complications.<br/><br/>But though these soldiers weren't soldiers to begin with, they were organized as if they were. They had three-person formation set up and decided not to separate, it would only hurt them if they did. One of the soldiers whistled, trying to attract the walkers attention. Since it failed, the three moved closer to where the sound came from and prepared to open fire when ready.<br/><br/>Their safeties were off and all their weapons were fully loaded. They had gotten a big import of ammunition from the last trade with their benefactor. Even though some soldiers frowned upon the little deal Haywood had with the raiders, they understood why it was done. Many had to give up their wives and daughters, but if they didn't live with it, they'd die. Men changed after the virus spread, most lost their humanity. They say that events like these bring out the worst in people, whoever said that was one-hundred percent correct.<br/><br/>Then one of the soldiers decided to shoot in the general direction of the noise. ""Did I get'em?""<br/><br/>""Hell, I don't know""<br/><br/>""C'mon keep moving, stay in formation"" the head soldier said, going into the outskirts of the city."

He flashed her a smile, showing his crooked yellow teeth. ""Tyler wants you here, you see. What Tyler wants, Tyler gets."" He reached over and began stroking the girl's hair. God, even the smell of her annoyed him. He suddenly grabbed her by the hair and pulled her in close to his face, his rancid breath filling her nostrils. ""And all the men will get a taste if they want. We all share around these parts. Sharing is a part of living now, you see?"" He shoved the girl back and stood to his feet.

Tyler stepped forward, throwing a menacing glare toward Jimmy and Joe. The two men gulped.<br/><br/>""Of course, boss,"" Joe said, weakly.<br/><br/>Bex glanced toward the cell Brad had just left. He figured the girl was in there. No way Tyler would let Brad anywhere near Lynn until he was done interrogating her. Brad hated women, especially Lauren. God help anyone who spoke that out loud, though.<br/><br/>""Bex,"" Tyler said, breaking him out of his thoughts. ""I've been hearing about you bitching about that mall all morning. How about you get off your ass and go do something about it then? Take these three with you."" He pointed at Jimmy, Joe, and Ash in turn.<br/><br/>Bex nodded. ""I can do that.""<i>Perfect.</i><br/><br/>The Bull pouted and crossed his arms. He looked like a big hairy baby. ""What am I going to do, then?"" he asked.<br/><br/>Tyler was silent for a moment. He looked about ready to break the Bull's nose. Bex wasn't entirely sure that was possibly, even if Tyler was a big man himself. ""You're going to take Lynn to the arena,"" Tyler said. ""Then, you're going to watch the new girl. We'll need to guard her until she's broken in."" Bull looked ready to argue, but he knew better. Chances were that Tyler wasn't too happy with the big lug after yesterday's failure. Bull simply nodded.<br/><br/>It was then that Bex realized there was an opportunity before him. There would be no way to see the girl before Tyler was done with her if he went off to clear the mall. It was a stupid thing to think about, but Bex had to at least see her before then. Lauren was concerned, so Bex was concerned as well. As the Bull started walking away, Bex put a hand on the big man's shoulder. ""Wait,"" Bex said. ""I want to guard the girl, sir.""<br/><br/>Tyler blinked at him in confusion. ""Didn't you hear what I had to say? No tastes until I-""<br/><br/>""It's not that,"" Bex interrupted. ""I'm exhausted after yesterday. I'll be a liability out there. Besides, Ash knows the area just as well as I do."" He looked toward the short man named Ash, who had been standing around impassively for the entire conversation. He nodded, as silent as ever.<br/><br/>Tyler seemed to consider this for a moment. ""... Okay, but don't go doing something stupid,"" he said, echoing Bull's previous words. This time, it was an obvious threat. ""Bull,"" he said, continuing. ""You go with Brad and get in contact with fucking Smith. He should have been back by now.""<br/><br/>The conversation apparently over, Tyler stalked off. The rest of the men went their separate ways, most of them to the armory. Bex went instead to the cells and opened the one containing Lynn. ""Get up,"" he said into the dark cell. When there was no response, Bex went further inside to find Lynn bound and unconscious. The man sighed deeply and went to work untying her from the chair.

He was close enough to kiss her lips, and she was almost surprised when he didn't.<br/><br/>A heavy sob broke from her heaving chest as he spoke his words.

The man had specific orders from Tyler to wait until Lynn was awake before putting the next phase of her torture in motion. When she started coming to, the man sent for Tyler, who came to the arena immediately.<br/><br/>Lynn, probably still groggy and half-awake, was shoved from her cell and into a large round room. This was one of the larger rooms in the hideout, where many of the tunnels went to. The tunnels had locked metal doors at their entrances, constructed by the raiders to keep the arena secure and to hold in the walkers. About half of these doors had walkers locked behind them. They slammed against the doors in an attempt to to reach Lynn, who was shoved into the centre of the room. If she looked around, she would see Tyler standing behind one of the metal doors, watching her intently.<br/><br/>Inside the arena with Lynn were three raiders, who all looked like burly men. Each one held a strange instrument. They looked sort of like a leash, or an extendible hand. The grip of the instruments allowed the claw-like bits at the other ends to clamp shut.<br/><br/>The first man went to open one of the metal doors with walkers behind it while the second man flanked him. The third man stood watching Lynn to make sure she didn't try anything. The first man opened the door wide enough for the second man to slip his instrument through and latch on to one of the walkers by the neck. Then, the first man opened the door wider and the second man pulled the walker into the arena. The door was closed quickly afterwards to keep the rest of the walkers inside.<br/><br/>The second man now had control of the walker. It could not bite anyone as long as he kept it on its leash. He started moving toward Lynn.<br/><br/>""Lynn!"" Tyler suddenly said. ""Welcome to the arena! This is just a little taste of what you can expect here.""<br/><br/>The man with the leashed walker inched closer and closer to Lynn. The walker snapped its teeth and groaned in Lynn's direction. It was desperate for a bite.<br/><br/>""I just wonder where Jess is, don't you? Perhaps if you tell me now, well..."" The man laughed.<hr/><b>Bex - Emma's Cell - Emma</b><br/><br/>Bex returned to the cells and peered through the bars at the girl inside. She looked dreadful, covered in dirt and sobbing uncontrollably. It seemed she really was young, probably about thirteen or fourteen. Bex couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her. He could block it out of his mind, usually, but the girls that got brought in just got younger and younger. It was becoming very hard to ignore.<br/><br/>Still, there was nothing that could be done. This was how Tyler wanted it, and no one went against Tyler. People had done so before and died for it.<br/><br/>Bex cleared his throat. ""Hey, you."" He gripped the cell door with his hands and leaned in as close as he could. ""Did Brad hurt you?"""

But he knew her. There was no way she was going to be on her knees for anyone. She turned her glare on the men in the arena with her.

He didn't want to leave the dreams he was having, which were of his life on the farm. But unlike the truth behind the estate, this farm was a fantasy. There weren't any scoundrels or miscreant beings, just the tender grass blowing with the wind along the hills. The plants bloomed brightly like the eyes of his livestock, smiling at the sight of the sun as it also blossomed above. Floyd had never experience such sensations, such joy, but then, vexatious utterance siphoned those wonders into a pitch black hole. As his eyes opened, truth returned.<br/><br/>He didn't speak, just decided to watch his surroundings with pinching eyes. Both his legs and arms had fallen into the same sleep he had just awoken from. They were united by a strong and layered rope. As he noticed himself sitting, he turned his head to his right and met a window. He could see the image outside moving as he felt himself still. Floyd made the realization that he was inside some sort of vehicle, most likely a truck, but that doesn't really matter. He had been captured by a group of pirates and had no idea what was going to happen next. Were these men cannibals? Why didn't they just kill him? It was an oblivious thought that ran Floyd's mind. Why waste their time with someone that was basically already dead? It didn't make sense.<br/><br/>Floyd then continued his visual inspection. He was seated right behind the 'shotgun' seat of the vehicle, the front passenger seat. The driver was farther to his left, one hand on the wheel and the window completely open. Wind rushed passed his beard and clashed against Floyd's torso. It felt great, but at times it would be too much that it'd get cold. Floyd's eyes then flipped, facing the back window of the vehicle. In the truck bed were two other men, laughing insanely during their conversation. It would seem that it had been their pandemonium that awoke Floyd. It was a very disturbing unique laugh the fat man had. He was very chunky, his cheeks implemented that weight. It was disgusting, Floyd couldn't bare to see, so decided to turn back to the front.<br/><br/>Then, the driver turned and took a look. He noticed Floyd's eyes were open, though barely. ""Oh partner! You're awake!"" he hollered, his voice echoing through the inside premise of the truck. His voice was even worse than the lard's laughter. ""Say man, why were you out there on your own? You looked like shit back there! Did ya get separated from your group or something?! Where'd they go?! They got any girls?!"" the man named Smith questioned. Though he didn't realize it, he was screaming above the sound of the wind. He was obviously trying to, but he was overdoing it.<br/><br/>Still, Floyd decided to stay silent. ""So you're the loner type huh? That ain't no problem, Tyler won't care. Heck, he might even make you one of us, who knows"" he started, turning to the passenger and laughing along with him. ""Tyler?"" Floyd murmured to himself, silently. ""You say something man?"" Smith asked, then paused for a second as if waiting for an answer. Since it didn't come, he turned back to the road. Floyd remembered the mention of Tyler. It had been that woman from the train track, she was the one that told Floyd about him. So these men were the raiders she was trying to avoid. ""Where are ya takin' me?"" Floyd questioned, surprising the two raiders. ""So you<i>can</i>speak, hahaha. Anyhow, were taking you to our place. I wouldn't worry too much, Tyler may have use for you, if not, then to the arena. Right Chuck?! HAhahahaHA!"" he started yet again.<br/><br/>Floyd angered at the annoying sound the two men generated. They just wouldn't shut their mouths, continuing to laugh when nothing was truly funny. Suddenly, the truck came to a halt. The brakes squealed as if they were in some sort of mechanical pain. It was an unpleasant sound to the ear. ""Hey look Chuck, its Brad! BRAD! What's up partner? Sorry were late, we caught something for a change, look!"" he yelled yet again, pointing to Floyd in the back seat. ""Watcha want us to do with'em?"" he asked his superior Brad. Floyd just stared at all the men that were now present. This was not the situation he wanted to be in. ""We found'em in them woods back there. He was alone so were not sure if he had a group with'em.

""He's going into the arena. He's going to die.""<br/><br/>The Bull gave the man a wink. ""No offence. Most men die in the arena. There'd be no shame in it.""

""This is bullshit."" Brad paused to let out an exasperated sigh. ""Just get him through the gate and put him in a cell.

Lynn shook her head to clear it as the walker came after her again.<br/>""They never learn,"" she commented as she dodged and used her elbow to hit the back of it's head, sending it crashing into one of the men who shouted in surprise and jabbed his knife into it's eye in reflex.<br/>Lynn smiled. Tyler had actually been the one to teach her to use what was around her. She didn't have any weapons, but the guys in the arena did..."

He had watched her intently and knew she had been squirming on the inside. Despite her confidence and her skills, for just a moment he had put her life in mortal peril.<br/><br/>It was almost intoxicating.<br/><br/>""That's right, go ahead and smile. Keep smiling, Lynn, because then I get to just wipe it off your face again and again."" He started pacing around the arena, one hand on his chin. ""You can go ahead and release the second one, now. And please step back this time."" The raider did as he was told and all three men quickly backed off. As Lynn faced the second walker, Tyler continued to speak: ""I still don't entirely understand what went wrong, Lynn. I told you - no, I<i>promised</i>you - that you didn't have to become like those other women. None of them mean anything to me! Not one! All they are, are means to an end."" He stopped now, staring at her skirmish intently. ""You and I saw a future beyond all this. Where the walkers, the shamblers, and the crawlers were a distant memory."" He began pacing again, his monologue becoming more animated. ""But everyone stood in my way! First it was the strangers, then it was the acquaintances, and then even my<i>friends</i>! If one can't build a new world with the men he stands beside, then he must entrust his vision to a new generation.""<br/><br/>Tyler stopped now. ""Lynn, my son believed in me. He loved me.

That breeze from earlier was no lost, only a strong-willed precipitation remained. The damp atmosphere made it difficult to breathe, but Floyd was used to such conditions. Before the outbreak, he lived in the New Orleans' woods, which were basically swamp lands. The atmosphere in that chamber was the same as the one in his cabin. The stench was the only difference, it reeked worse than a pile of burnt walkers. But excluding that smell, not a single sound could be heard. This was the cell block and Floyd couldn't hear any other prisoners. Had they been altered so much that they've lost all hope in breaking free? Floyd's rage began to prosper over his common sense. If they were going to try and break him, they've got another thing coming.<br/><br/>""Look at'em Chuck, he's looking all depressed. Don't worry little fella' you wont be stuck here for too long. Soon enough, you'll be in the arena, gladiating for your life! Hahaha!"" he laughed, making up a word that meant 'fighting'. This place was obviously worse than he'd imagine, but couldn't dare to lose himself in thought. His mission was to find a way out, but as of now, he had no choice but to keep silent and remain focused. When the time presented itself, he'd make a move.<br/><br/>""By the way stranger, you never answered our friend back there, what's your name? Yo momma gave you a name right partner?"" the man known as Smith continued. He was irritating, like that little stuttering kid from the train yard, he just wouldn't stop talking. With a little hesitation, Floyd wasn't sure if he'd need to answer this man. He knew who they were, a bunch of pirates that stole from other groups. That's lower than Floyd would ever go. He was an independent man who could live off the land on his own. He was in this situation because he decided to go against that logic. If only he'd of stayed away from that group, if only he'd remain in his cabin maybe he'd never been in such a mess. ""My names Smith, this over here is Chuck. Grumpy man out there was Brad, he's the head honcho around here, well, he's the second in command I guess you could say. Big fat-ass was Bull, he's a dummy, just muscle, Hahaha! Right Chuck? Just muscle! hahaha,"" but Chuck never laughed. He smiled, but never laughed. ""Anyhow, that's our names, I'm sure you've got one too.""<br/><br/>""Floyd.""<br/><br/>""Oh okay, I see. So, you from around here? Cuz, I came down here from New Mexico and then all this shit happens. Psh! Just my luck huh? Anyway, you make yourself at home, cuz you ain't going nowhere anytime soon. Unless Tyler decides to make you one of us. I mean, you look like shit, but it seems you can take care of yourself. Around here, independence is strength. You take what you want and that's it. Unless of course Tyler says its against the rules. You know Chuck, Tyler sometimes scares me. Doesn't matter though, what I'm trying to get you to understand partner is that you shouldn't fight your situation, you'll just be wasting your time. Well, I gotz to go, catch ya in a while"" Smith finished, walking further into the catacombs, yet remaining by the cells as they awaited company.<br/><br/>The other two soldiers that were in the bed of the truck parked the vehicle. Floyd continued to sit there, going against everything he was just told and trying to get out of those tight ropes. He didn't have anything on him, his only possession - his knife - must have been stripped from his belt when he was knocked out. ""Dammit, I've gotta get the hell out of here. But these doors are completely shut. Dammit!"" he thought to himself, still attempting to break free of the knots. It was a hopeless attempt as he was informed because he wasn't making any progress."

""We've got a long day ahead of us"" she added with a sigh before she turned and walked to the door, opening it and checking outside to make sure it was clear.

He woke to the sound of urgent calls. He wasn't a morning person, it took him a moment to get fully alert but his body had already reacted getting up and in a fight ready position.<br/><br/>""What's going on?"" he asked Gwen as he regained focus and noted there was no immediate danger.<br/><br/>""Raiders!"" She cried out pointing towards the steps leading up. How had they found them? What was more how had they gotten into the store?<br/><br/>Aleck ran into their room and looked at the screens on the wall, they were powered by car batteries, he had found a way to convert all the wattage in the battery into usable energy using a converter box. There were thousands of batteries lying around uselessly, he repurposed them. The cameras were always in a dark standby mode, clicking on the mouse that controlled the computer which was the ""server"" for the cameras brought them out of this power saving mode. Three cameras revealed four raiders on the bottom floor and three more outside. They were well armed and they were trying to break into the door that led upstairs. They knew they were up here, the two who weren't moving things out of the way that blocked the door were pointing their guns at the door. The three outside were pointing their guns at the windows.<br/><br/>These raiders might have been part of the group that had at one point suffered a loss at Aleck's had, he tangoed with many of them in the early days when looters and raiders were common. He had killed his fair share of men who wanted to take his sister or their food and supplies.<br/><br/>They were already kicking at the door breaking it apart. There were things on the other side of the door to slow them down further but that only bought them a minute or two.<br/><br/>""Grab everything you can,"" Aleck told Gwen who had been standing behind him. She headed off to fill duffel bags with canned food and clothes. All their water was always inside bags for quick mobility because water remains the single most important resource in the world.<br/><br/>Aleck went to the closet in the room and grabbed the two duffel bags on the ground, it had amazed Aleck what people considered important. When fecal matter hit the fan people rushed to steal and take guns from anyone and everywhere but failed to take into consideration the importance of other things such as explosives. He had found a Humvee completely looted of guns and bullets but cases of frag, flash, incendiary, and concussion grenades were left behind. Originally he had the entire closet full of all kinds of explosives but as time went by he had been forced to use more and more to fight survivor groups and hordes of undead. Now all he had were two duffel bags worth.<br/><br/>He went to the kitchen and grabbed the water bag and let Gwen carry the bag full of clothes and food.<br/><br/>""Stay behind me ok?"" Aleck told her.<br/><br/>""Ok,"" she nodded. She wasn't scared, Aleck always made her feel safe even now that their lives were threatened she felt no fear. It came with having absolute faith in a person to protect you at all costs.<br/><br/>""Well here goes nothing,"" He said and went to the ""living room"" and opened a metal case. There was a single walkie talkie inside. He turned it on and adjusted it to the right frequency and clicked the send button. Instantly two bombs went off blowing two separate cars outside sky high. One of the men outside was killed by the concussive force of the explosion another was fatally wounded by the shrapnel, the third was rendered unconscious. Flipping the frequency again two more bombs went off blowing the wall in the room and the wall in the kitchen. The Thrift store was connected to another three buildings the removal of the walls gave them a new escape. Flipping for the third time through the frequencies he set the switch to the universal frequency for all the bombs placed throughout the building. He pressed the button once they were already heading for the stairs of the neighboring building.<br/><br/>There were enough explosives to not only level the thrift store collapsing it on top of the remaining four raiders but there were also explosives outside the building under cars and other buildings. The explosives under cars and out in the streets were designed to repel an excessively large horde and the bombs in other buildings were designed to draw attention and keep the undead from going the right way.<br/><br/>Outside waiting for them was a four wheel<a href=""http://www.800toolbox.com/trailers/atv_trailer-2.jpg"">ATV</a>painted military green with a trailer attached to the back, they dropped the bags into the back.<br/><br/>Aleck gave Gwen the keys and told her to drive yelling out directions as they went, as for him, he stood in the back with the rifle loaded and scanning the area for other raiders. The Haven was up in flames, the smoke, fire, explosions and demolition could all be seen and heard as they headed down the road. If only Gwen hadn't been with him he would have risked fighting to keep the Haven, but he didn't want her to get hurt in any form or fashion. He would rather have wasted the Haven in exchange for her absolute safety.<br/><br/>They stopped several blocks away far out of sight of the fallen Haven, Aleck wanted to organize everything before they got any further.<br/><br/>""There,"" He pointed to an open field. It was dangerous to stop anywhere with limited visual range, one could find themselves walking straight into a trap or be assaulted by unseen undead. Stopping in the open field did reveal them to any that may be watching them but it also gave them the advantage of seeing anyone approach them.<br/><br/>""What's wrong?"" Gwen asked as she guided the ATV off road and into the grass stopping in the middle of the park's field.<br/><br/>""I need to switch out some things,"" He replied getting off. He unslung the rifle and took off his coat. ""Wont take that long. Keep an eye out.""<br/><br/>""Ok,"" Gwen replied immediately beginning to scan the area. ""You missed dinner night you know and I can smell alcohol on you.""<br/><br/>""I found some survivors,"" he told her. After removing his coat he began unloading it and stuffing everything in the appropriate bag. He also took out some things from the bag and stuffed them into the coat. ""There was a young girl, her name was Emma. She had gotten hurt and I wanted to help her so I patched her up.""<br/><br/>""Really?"" Gwen asked a little bit surprised. She believed her brother to be an angel, to be the greatest man in the world, reliable and strong, but deep down she also understood he was anti-social, emotionally different, and even potentially psychologically insane. Deep, deep down she felt it, there was something wrong with him helping someone who wasn't her. Down in that level she understood it clearly, but on the surface, in the more aware part of herself, only a small bell of surprise went off, it was small insignificant but noticeable enough that she reacted to it, but did not understand it completely. She only knew that it was a surprise, the reason escaped her.<br/><br/>""Yes,"" he nodded, thinking nothing of her surprise. ""I wanted to bring her to the haven but we met a larger group. There was a conflict with some potential raiders, though we were shot at by only a single individual. the group broke up. I couldn't keep them together.""<br/><br/>Not that I even tried, he thought to himself.<br/><br/>""I offered the girl a chance to come with me,"" he continued. ""But she preferred to remain with the group of strangers. This group had a pregnant woman and a man on a bike who seemed rather worried about protecting that woman since he bolted with her on his bike as soon as the bullets went off. I don't know how she believed they would even find these two again but her reason for staying with them was because she wanted to help the pregnant woman, not that it did any good for the woman or for the girl.""<br/><br/>""Why did you tell them about the Haven?"" Gwen pointed out. ""They all would have been safe there.""<br/><br/>""I wanted to,"" Aleck lied with a straight face. He was now checking the rounds and properly dispersing them into different pockets organizing them in a way that would maximize their retrieval and fast reload. ""But this group seemed adamant in finding the pregnant girl. I didn't want to waver their resolve to go find their friends. I was on my way back however, when the raiders found them. You remember the southern raiders?""<br/><br/>""Yes,"" Gwen nodded. ""The ones who came to the haven, they were raiders from that camp too weren't they?""<br/><br/>""Yes,"" he nodded. He had seen the guns in their hands, mostly police issue. ""Well another group found them. I only heard the gunshots and screaming. I was simply too far away to make a difference, I only got there to watch them take them away.""<br/><br/>""Wow,"" Gwen shook her head. It saddened her to think that people could be so monstrous to each other, she had never seen someone get shot, raped, or killed, unless you included undead people she once knew, but she had never seen a live person get hurt or killed. She didn't want others to suffer, it wasn't right for people to hurt each other, specially not in a world like this where helping one another could only bolster their ability to survive. ""What about the girl?""<br/><br/>""She got taken too,"" he informed her. ""She was a little one, maybe a couple of years younger than you, pretty small but she had the strength to survive. Killed a raider too. But she got taken nonetheless. I wanted to find her and rescue her, but I could not.""<br/><br/>He decided that he would never elaborate the rest of that story to her or anyone else, it hurt too much to think that he knew exactly where she was and he had just abandoned her.<br/><br/>""So..."" Gwen noted the slight down in Aleck's mood, his emotions were always light things that could only be noticed by someone who had spent most of their lives with them. A normal person would have noticed nothing, nothing at all, but Gwen felt it more than saw it, how it made him feel down thinking about the survivors. She decided to switch the topic, no point in staying on the same subject if it would only produce negativity. ""Where to now?""<br/><br/>""I...am going to pay the raiders a visit,"" Aleck responded. ""They need to know that they don't own the right to do as they please.""<br/><br/>Donning on the coat he shouldered the rifle and got back on the ATV resuming his former position.<br/><br/>""Let's move out,"" he told her and started pointing the way southeast to the raider complex."

The driver and his passenger scanned the area before giving the all clear. The checked the entire perimeter, looking through the rear-view and side-view mirrors. The driver gestured the four men in the rear part of the van to suit up. Suiting up basically meant, arming weapons and putting on any necessary equipment, such as bulletproof vests (if any) and other protective gear available.<br/><br/>The first man to exit the vehicle was the front passenger. He wielded a twelve gauge pump action shotgun colored in full body matte black paint. It didn't have any attachments other than an extra mag strapped to the side. It was one of the most popular shotguns of its time, not very unique. This passenger then opened up the slide-door of the van, allowing passage for the four other men awaiting to advance. As the barrier was removed, three of the men rushed out fully loaded and prepared to fire on anything that was noted as a threat. They had a fluid formation and were very delicate in their stances. The fourth men followed slowly, it was Elijah Haywood, the African American real estate agent from Louisiana. He had finally arrived at Tyler's camp and awaited his company.<br/><br/>The driver then took off and parked by a nearby truck, the exact same truck that ironically caged Floyd just a couple of minutes before. The trip from Haywood to this camp was about fifty to sixty miles, so at a speed of about sixty-five miles per hour, it took nearly forty-five minutes plus to get there. It had been a decently long quiet journey. Quiet because the soldiers nor Eli were allowed to discuss business outside of Haywood. The only people that discussed it were Eli and Bruce, inside the walls of their haven of course. That just made things more confidential and less of a personal relationship. This wasn't a friendly chat, it was more of a mutual partnership, both parties put something in to get rewarded in return.<br/><br/>But now it was time to wait, allow some of Tyler's men to approach him and have them inform Tyler of their visit. Then Eli alone, as usual, will proceed into the man's barracks and will start the negotiations. Before leaving Haywood, Bruce informed Eli of what arrangements he had planned. He wanted to get triple the usual for this girl, her state was more...............fertile. A description of her was provided in order to prevent confusion. Eli would give Tyler the piece of paper that describes the pregnant teen and if he likes what he hears, he gets it, as long as he gives them what they bargained for. After the incident with Eli's wife, Tyler was no longer prohibited to see the girl before the trade. He was given a description via letter, handwritten by Bruce Levi himself. It was even signed by the man, proving that it was legit. The deal was that Tyler would give them the supplies asked for, Eli would return to Haywood with these supplies, then bring back whatever girl was traded off. If Tyler didn't like that arrangement, then he could go f*ck himself.<br/><br/>But now, back to waiting."

He quickly turned the wheel and pulled down a small alleyway, he slammed his foot on the brakes and the car came to a full stop. He punched the steering wheel over and over.<br/><br/>""Damn it!"" He said his knuckles bloody ""Piece of shit, of course you quit on me right when I need to get through the city!""<br/><br/>He exited his truck in a bout of fury slamming the door behind him. He moved to the front of the car and lifted the hood, grayish white smoke billowed up and into his face. He coughed and waved his hands clearing the smoke and steam, he peered into the engine. He grimaced when he realized that it had overheated, he left the hood up and went to the shotgun seat. He opened the glove box and pulled out a small map of the city, he scanned it then found a small autogarage, he went to the edge of the alleyway and looked for a road sign. He spotted a sign that read 'Elizabeth avenue' then another that read 'Longton drive' he jogged back to his truck and found his location. He traced his fingers down streets and alleys plotting his route to the autogarage, it was not far away he could easily make his way there in little under an hour. He grabbed his pack and slipped his arms through the straps and pulled his shotgun off the dashboard he smiled feeling the grip of it in his righthand. He folded up the map and pushed it into his pocket, and with that he set off following his preset route.<br/><br/>Enrique found the garage within about 40 minutes, he saw a few walkers and manuevered himself carefully around them. He took up a somewhat secure position and stuffed his snub nosed shotgun into his backpack next to his fathers pistol. He quickly unfastened his survivalists axe from his belt and raised his head just enough to see over the concrete wall he had been using as cover while he watched the autogarage. He stood and sprinted to the back of the garage, he placed his hand on the door handle and turned it. He smiled and pushed the door open carefully, he closed it behind him and raised his axe in anticipation of an attack. His pulse was normal and his mind calm, this was where he felt most calm in the anticipation of battle."

She spun around quickly, pulling her M4 Carbine to her shoulder as she aimed at at the cause of the opening door, a man she didn't recognise. He wielded an axe too which did nothing to settle her suspicions that the man was not someone Daniel and Shannon knew. ""Drop the axe and put your hands above your head, NOW!"" she shouted, aiming down the scope at his face. Her finger squeezed on the trigger gently, readying to fire should he make any moves to attack them. So much for easing out of the soldier frame of mind."

I'm going to experience what no one should... and you're going to stand by. Heck, you'll probably join in won't you?"" She stood with a good deal of effort, approaching the bars and looking straight at the man. She didn't know his name, but she'd make sure he remembered hers. If she couldn't hurt him physically, she could try to hurt him emotionally. ""My name is Emma Jane Crowe, I'm 14 years old, and you and your 'pals' are gonna violate me!"" Her voice rose at the the end of her statement. Emma had no idea where the boldness had come from.. She dropped back down to the floor and allowed herself to cry quietly."

""It's no use talking to you anymore,"" she said. ""You stopped listening long ago.""<br/>Her heart had hardened against the pain of his betrayal long ago. He may have said the women meant nothing, but the fact was that he slept with them regularly and she didn't believe it was just to get children. Somehow, she had stopped being enough woman for him. But she had stopped blaming herself for that long ago.<br/><br/>When the walker was released Lynn knew she was too tired to fight it off for long. So she did the only thing she could :<br/>Gave it a new target.<br/><br/>She gave Tyler a smile. ""Please don't take this the wrong way. Just doing what you taught me,"" she said and ran towards him, the walker right behind her. She knew his men would not allow him to get killed, so when the walker went for him one of his men shot it in the head before it could reach their leader.<br/>The other kicked Lynn in the side, knocking her to the ground. He kicked her a few times in the stomach before pressing his foot to her neck. ""You tried to kill our leader you bitch!"" he snarled.<br/>Lynn spat out some blood and laughed a laugh that was full of pain. ""If I had been trying to kill him,"" she gasped out, ""he'd be dead.""<br/>For that remark she received a kick to the face. She heard more then felt her nose break."

""Thank you."" He motioned for Shannon and Amy to lower their weapons. ""We can help you with tools, but I don't think you want to get involved in what we're planning to do."" Daniel silently laughed to himself. The case was, in fact, that Daniel didn't exactly want this guy involved. He didn't like the feeling that the man gave off. Maybe he was being over prejudice... ""We can help you with car problems, but then you'd do well to stay away from our group."" He turned and walked towards the supplies cabinets."

Once the undead make their way inside, it could become extremely difficult to fend them off enough to make a stand. While you might be able to lock off and secure a single store, it might not be the best place to make your temporary location. Plus, the chances of it being safe are literally next to none. There is most likely NOTHING there, only death. It's in our best interest not to take to many risks.""<br/><br/>Polyester did not like the look of the new man. He seemed like someone that would take advantage of him, someone who would take the fixes and run. Polyester took a quick look at the truck. Strangely, Polyester does know how to fix this truck, due to him being an engineer, and someone else would likely mess it up."

She can't say she liked it, after all she now knew he had a pistol and considering they only just met she wasn't going to be trusting the man any time soon. She holstered her pistol before heading over to a chair, taking a seat before crossing her arms. She would keep an eye on him for now at least. ""We should get moving soon, whether we go to the mall or not. We have a person to save"" she said with a tone of urgency."

His men had presumed him too weak to take care of himself; he would rectify their behaviour later. ""Get her back to a cell,"" Tyler ordered, walking up to the men. They hauled Lynn to her feet and held her arms. He grabbed the woman by her chin. ""Just you wait, Lynn. Just you wait."" With that, Tyler waved the men off.<br/><br/>On his way out of the arena, Brad and Bull informed Tyler of the new male prisoner, and of Eli's arrival. Tyler told Bull to deal with the prisoner in the usual manner and that he would meet with Eli right away. Taking Brad with him, Tyler headed for the catacomb's entrance.<br/><br/>""So good to see you,"" he said to Eli with a hint of sarcasm. They were at the catacomb's entrance, and Tyler waved for Eli to follow him. ""Like usual, I'm going to need the details before I hand anything over."" The leader of the raider's flashed Eli a smile; A smile which was strangely white compared to most of his men. He was cordial with Eli, most of the time. After all, the man supported his ideals, in a way. Tyler felt short-handed by the arrangement on some occasions, but he had to admit that Haywood was invaluable.<hr/><b>Bex - Emma's Cell - Emma</b><br/><br/>Bex felt as if his eyes would glaze over. This girl was trying to score sympathy and he begrudgingly had to admit it was working. Still, the poor girl was only going to succeed in making Bex's day worse. ""Listen."" he said, raising his voice slightly. ""I can't help you, Emma, because life isn't fair, especially not these days. If you're going to get mad at anyone, get mad at whoever started this mess.""<br/><br/>Bex was going to say more, but he was cut short by Bull walking in, followed by another pair of raiders and a beat-up Lynn. ""Don't bother cleaning her up,"" Bull said. ""Just put her in there."" He pointed to a cell nearby Emma's and the two men threw Lynn inside. The Bull then gave Bex a jovial look before moving deeper into the cells.<br/><br/>""... Just don't fight back,"" Bex said, his back turned to Emma. ""It'll be easier on you.""<hr/><b>The Bull - Underground Arena - Floyd</b><br/><br/>Floyd was forced into the arena, much like Lynn minutes ago. This time, Bull stood where Tyler had once been. The big man had a smile plastered on his face; He was the arena's biggest fan. ""Time to fight for your life, man! We're going to pop a few dead fuckers into the room with you, and you have to clean them up. Do well, and maybe we'll let you out."" The Bull slammed a fist on the metal door and gave Floyd a thumbs up. ""I'm rooting for you, honestly!""<br/><br/>Two other raiders opened one of container doors, letting a small horde inside the arena. They threw Floyd a knife before retreating behind metal doors. The arena now contained Floyd and a group of five walkers.<br/><br/>""At least you get a weapon!"" Bull called out.<hr/><b>Shannon - Auto Garage - OG Gang</b><br/><br/>Shannon sighed in a frustrated manner and put her own weapon away. ""I don't think we should give this guy anything, but-"" She narrowed her eyes on the intruder. ""We don't need any trouble. We don't<i>want</i>any trouble. "" By her tone, it was an obvious threat.<br/><br/>Shannon then crossed her arms and looked toward Polyester. ""Poly, we're only going to take a look. Besides, I need you hear for James."" She moved to stand beside Amelia and waited for Daniel to deal with the intruder."

He was slender yet toned, and bore the entrance-way to the catacombs like a fuhrer. His body language gave away his rank and position. If Eli didn't know he was Tyler, he'd still figure out<i>he</i>was the man in charge. To break the unpleasant silence, Tyler seemed to have decided to speak first, greeting Eli with conspicuous mockery. Obliviously, inside his head, Eli cursed the heck out of Tyler, but his facial appearance chronicled an opposition.<br/><br/>Without further ado, Eli followed Tyler as he entered the immorality of his sanctuary. Sure, it was a smart thing to have ones shelter underneath the apocalypse, but the conditions were extremely irrational and would conclude to be dangerous to Tyler's modeled world. Keeping mothers in these environments would only bring forth deception. The child they bare will have a higher probability of death, but all this wasn't Eli, nor Bruce's problem. Only reason they dealt with Tyler was to keep Haywood on top and keep a mutual understanding between their town and these glutton raiders. Walking through that underground lair was purely disgusting. No part of their entire catacomb resembled any part of Haywood. Unlike their town, Tyler's place was obscene and salacious. It reeked like the dead and looked even worse.<br/><br/>""I have the paper work with me like always"" Eli stated, looking side to side, watching the prisoners scramble like ants at the sight of Tyler. ""You should clean this place up for once. I feel like I tell you this every time I come, yet you do nothing. You've got men who aren't doing anything all day, you might as well put them to clean."" Neatness was one of Eli's most brawny attributes. He sought everything to be as crisp as possible, that was the reason Haywood turned out like it currently is. ""Anyhow...."" Eli continued as they seemed to have reached Tyler's quarters. ""......Look over this"" he said, passing him the packet of papers. Two sheets described the girl with as much technicality as humanly possible. The second and third sheet had the trade arrangements, ranging from how the deal will be made to what Haywood wanted in return for the girl. It listed all the materials Bruce wanted, which was triple the usual, stating that this girl was more valuable to his cause due to her current condition.<br/><br/>""I'll leave you with that then. I shall be outside awaiting your response. Please don't take too long, I have duties to return to"" he said as he returned towards the entrance, but suddenly, he paused. Without turning, he started to resume his speech. ""How is Iman doing? My........wife,"" he struggled to finish. Every time he came to make a trade he'd ask the same question. It was like a standard procedure, forced to do it every arrival. He stood there, awaiting an answer from the monster that now stood to his back.<hr/><b>Floyd - Fear - Arena</b><br/><br/>As Floyd was stripped from the safety of the cell, the redneck started to feel an emotion he'd never thought was attainable. The giant from earlier was escorting him to who knows where. They were accompanied by two? Three other guards. As they passed down the cells, Floyd couldn't help but peek into their interior. He squinting eyes caught many women's sight. They all looked struggling, facing the hardships of these brutal men and the harsh conditions they were forced into. But Floyd didn't really feel all that compassionate for all these women, he was in search of one in particular. Unfortunately he was not able to spot her in any of the cells he walked passed. Even if he had actually seen her, there was no way he'd recognize her when all the women were basically mimicking dirt. Every single one of them were covered in raw abomination. It was a horrid image, thankfully it hadn't lasted too long.<br/><br/>Next thing you know, Floyd was shoved brutally into what seemed to be a larger cell. It basically mimicked a Colosseum, the arena of gladiators. Come to find out that it was basically exactly that. Survivalist now were basically the gladiators of the roman period, fighting to live another day in pure loathsomeness. The fat man even instructed Floyd to fight for his life, it seemed he was putting on a show for these motherf*ckers, there were spectators all around, most of them were part of the raider's armada. Without anymore time to spare, a container was opened up by two of the soldier escorts, allowing a small hoard of walkers into the arena to join Floyd. Rapidly, the four walkers started for their red meat. To make things more interesting, another soldier threw a knife on the ground, ironically, it landed between the walking hoard. Floyd then felt the same emotion again, not understanding why his heartbeat was raising as quickly as it was.<br/><br/>Floyd's eyes wondered side to side with intention. He was trying to understand why these people were playing such games with human life. This was irrational, it didn't constitute anything, just pure comedic relief. Then as the imaginary bell ringed, the fight began. Floyd encountered the first walker with a right fist to its jaw, sending the walkers face flinging to the side. As it came back, he resumed by taking the walker by the clothing and tugging him aside, throwing it directly onto the ground. The second and third walker followed together, in the meantime, the first walker was already getting back up. Floyd quickly front kicked the second walker, forcing it to physically stumble backwards, then dodged the third walker by rolling aside. At that point, he was crouching right above the knife supplied by the soldiers. He picked it up to meet the fourth walkers drooling over his shoulder. He arose with his left forearm, clashing against the fourth walker's neck and stabbing it in the head's skeletal system directly over the forehead. That walker tumbled straight down without pause. He then took the opportunity of being armed and rushed for the first walker, who at the time had still not fulfilled his mission to regain balance. He kicked it back down, jumped over it, and jammed that dull blade into its skull, leaving a gap where one could see its demolished brain.<br/><br/>The third and fourth walkers seemed to have given their double team another shot. They took three steps forward to catch Floyd in the act of murdering one of their friends - the first walker. With a twist of the hips, Floyd came bashing in with his knife and met the fourth walker on the side of the head, but without time to remove the blade, the third walker reached Floyd by the shoulders, knocking him back into the arena walls. Floyd still held the handle of the knife that was stuck to the fourth walker. He dragged that body along with the knife, trying to pull it out. Floyd used his own free hand to prevent the walker from getting those filthy teeth too close to his body. He then used the walker's own momentum to push<i>him</i>onto the dirt. Finally managing to remove the knife from the fourth walker's cadaver, Floyd took action and pinned the third zombie down. He stabbed it directly through the face to puncture its brain, but wouldn't stop. He continued to do it until he finally became exhausted and fell back, dropping the knife on the ground in the process.<br/><br/>From the ground, he watched everyone eyeing him like an idol. He couldn't understand why someone could be so damn wicked. Not even his parents were this demented. That's the reason his ideals of this new world were completely correct. There weren't anymore good people out there, no matter anybody says. The apocalypse changed everyone for the worse, it was logical. Even now, as much as he hated every single on of these raiders, Floyd just couldn't judge them."

Had they met under alternate circumstances, Daniel would have asked him to join their group. Though he was just as muscled, Daniel still had a good grip on this guys height. However, he had no idea of this man's skills as a fighter. Whether or not Daniel could take him alone, he'd have to deal with Amelia on him as well.<br/><br/>""...Daniel...""

The second-in-command gave his boss an embarrassed smile.<br/><br/>Tyler waited for his bout of amusement to pass before he went to grab the paper's Eli was offering. He looked at them briefly, but a thorough read of the papers would have to wait until later. This one had better be better than the last one; It had taken her ages to get pregnant.

""Now, we have question for you... Lloyd? Floyd? Ahaha! ... Anyway, you gotta tell me, what kinda of things have you done to be here today?

There was no way she was being unreasonable about this. They needed to start planning and this guy would only make things more complicated.

She wouldn't have been able to fight it in her current state.<br/>She crawled over to a sitting position against the wall, trying to take shallow breaths because deep ones hurt. She coughed and spat out some blood. She hoped to God she didn't have cracked ribs. Those hurt like hell and took a long f---ing time to heal.<br/><br/>She let her head fall to the side, looking at the cell across from hers. A young girl was in it, crying.

Shannon wasn't sure where that was, but she knew what they did today was the first step toward reaching it. ""James, how about I get you a bunch more chocolate? At the mall, we'll probably find all sorts. Whatever kind is your favorite."" Shannon stood up and walked over to the stranger.

But why? He turned to his right to see a large wooden wall being hung up by a large mechanical crane. To his left, a dog, barking at him, rushing towards his legs, playing around them. Eli's eyes became colored in Satan's image. They burned as confusion ran down his spine from the tip of his brain. He once again found himself staring at his feet, his boots suddenly were damped in water. As he returned his gaze to the right, the wall had been buried in the profound lake. The dog that stood next to him had drowned along with it. But as he faced up, he saw his wife. Standing there, shining like an angel sent from heaven. It was a beautiful sight, like the one dream a person wakes and remembers.<br/><br/>""Iman, Iman......I'm sorry baby. I-I....Those people....they needed to survive. I had no choi-""<br/><br/>""SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"" she yelled, her voice as deep as the growl of a grizzly. Her skin then started to shatter and became contaminated in darkness. Her eyes pitch black and her angel wings burst into flames. She fell to her knees and started to disperse into ash. She shrieked in pain, a bodily pain that cannot be met by any sort of torment. ""Baby NO!!!"" Eli yelled, running towards her, but only getting further away. This abnormality was the mental vengeance Eli had to suffer every time his wife was mentioned. He lost himself in a trance that could not be broken until he witnesses his wife get submerged into the marine.<br/><br/>Then his vision returns. The dirt again beneath his feet. The walls built like catacombs, racing down the aisles to see cells filled with slaves. He watched the guards quiet and waiting for his departure.<br/><br/>""You know how the deal works from here. If you find the agreement honorable, then meet us at the gates of Haywood anytime at sunrise with the supplies demanded. We will then exchange for the girl"" he said as he started down the hall. He didn't bother to stare into the cells, afraid his wife would recognize him is she was there. ""I'll kill him"" Eli murmured to himself as he saw the light of day dawning away. His men pulled the truck out of the parking slot and began to load their leader. ""Are you okay sir?""<br/><br/>""Let's go soldiers, we don't have time for chit chatter"" Eli commanded.<br/><br/>""Yes sir!

Walkers lay on the sands of the dome, motionless, facing death yet again, this time, for good. He was stained in dirt, facing not only physical fatigue, but mental. He was locked in a situation that he couldn't escape. Usually, he wouldn't run from a fight, but a fight he was forced into was a different thing. What was next? Floyd questioned everything now, but still believed in his logic - there aren't good people out in this new world.<br/><br/>Then the applause started, the thundering clap that echoed through the halls. So many people there to watch him fight walkers, something that nowadays happened everyday without authority. Forced into battle, he was used to entertain the pirates that surrounded the Colosseum. These was not the Roman Empire, yet he felt a gladiator and slave to their oppression.<br/><br/>The golem then started towards him, followed by his gargoyles, armed to the tip of their heads. Their rifles faded black, just like the walker blood that composed seventy percent of Floyd's persona. They seemed to take precaution, facing Floyd as if he were hostile. At this point, Floyd couldn't fight even if he wished, his arms weren't even responding to his nervous system or whatever system helps them move. Floyd isn't a science nerd. Anyhow, once 'The Bull' stood before him, taking the knife from the ground, Floyd started to look around his circumference. He watched all the raiders stare directly at him, some smiling, some pissed that he hadn't died in battle. His eyes were clinching together, hardly opened. Sweat had poured down his medium-length hair. Then the beast broke Floyd's trance of thought. He threw two questions at him, questions Floyd didn't know if he should answer, or if there was a right or wrong one.<br/><br/>""....what kinda of things have you done to be here today?""<br/><br/>""What do you think it takes to survive?""<br/><br/>Floyd stared directly into the man's eyes. The Bull's eyes looked dark, this revealed his past to Floyd, how much of a monster he'd become after the outbreak. Floyd thought of the effects of answering the questions incorrectly. All he could think of was his demise, how he would be shot to death by a bunch of pirates. So the redneck chose to respond instead of remaining silent and still be eliminated.<br/><br/>With his squinting eyes, Floyd took one last direct stare into The Bull's dark pupils.<br/><br/>""You do whatever ya have to, that's what it takes.""<hr/><b>Haywood Guards - Gates - Rob</b><br/><br/>The guards paused their shooting as they heard a voice call out to them. It was most definitely a man's voice, rugged and raspy, or so it seemed. The guards walked towards the words, finally reaching the man who will later be known as Rob. ""Who the hell are you? Why the f*ck are you hiding the these woods huh? Are you one of those raiders? Answer dammit!"" one of the guards yelled as two others closed in from all sides.<br/><br/>All of them had this man targeted as hostile. One of the three soldiers got a foot from Rob and started to remove the visible weapons. ""I'm confiscating them, don't you dare move"" that soldier announced quietly as the head guard continued to ask questions.<br/><br/>""Did Tyler send you? Huh?! Is he trying to go against our deal or something? He trying to cross us? Dammit why aren't you speaking?!"" he angered. Two other soldiers took the position of those three soldiers at the gate for the time being. Nobody was allowed to leave as far as half-a-mile from Haywood unless Bruce or Eli stated otherwise."

Good riddance. He turned to his boss, who was pouring over the contents of the letter.

""How much do they want this time?"" he asked.<br/><br/>Tyler barely acknowledged him. ""Triple.""<br/><br/>""That's too much. After the last one, you said we would-""<br/><br/>""This one is pregnant, Brad, so I need you to shut your mouth."" Tyler looked into the shorter man's eyes. It was intimidating and captivating all at once. ""Can I trust you, Brad?""<br/><br/>Brad nodded profusely. He hated all of this, having to gather women for Tyler. What did Tyler need with women? They had everything they would ever need, right there in the hideout. All Tyler needed was his second-in-command, and his force of loyal men. Together, they could take the world by storm, none of this other bullshit required.<br/><br/>Still, Brad would do just about anything for this man.<br/><br/>Tyler smiled at him, a smile that warmed Brad.

The quiet also sprouted as he took a seat of helplessness. After facing off undead fiends he was forced back into captivity so the next day he could fight again. As stated before, he felt like a gladiator during the roman empire. There was no way out, the halls were empty, only guards stood post. His sight was pointless at this moment because everything seemed black. He wasn't in search of entertainment, he wasn't looking for something to take his anger up on, but freedom. All he wanted was to once again feel the fresh and peaceful air.<br/><br/>Floyd had never been an inside kind of guy. He's lived all his life in the fields, cruising through sunrise till dawn through the peaceful hollows. But when one's freedom is stripped of them, like that of the slaves back in the 1800's - one does not conform to such a change, instead, one revolts. If he could upraise a rebellion on his own, against the force that locks him in such environment, then he'd do it without a second thought. But the situation didn't allow such actions to be taken. He was helpless.<br/><br/>As he stared into the ground, laying against the cell's rusted wall, a tray of food landed before him. He noticed a hand had placed it there, so turned up to put a face to it. As his eyes adjusted to his motion, he finally noticed the figure that stood before him. Unlike most or all of the raiders, this one was a woman, an exception to the organization or something. Hesitating a little, Floyd chose not to eat in a hurry, he decided to leave the tray there while the woman spoke. He didn't want to seem as if he depended on these people, though in reality, he didn't have a choice. If he didn't eat this food that was provided, he'd eventually die of starvation, disease, or in that damn arena.<br/><br/>Before the woman left, she decided to tell Floyd how much that golem had enjoyed his 'performance'. She seemed bored for a reason, because she was hesitant to leave, as if she had nothing else to do but speak with a 'prisoner' as she called him.<br/><br/>""I don't care what you people think of me"" Floyd responded in a rasped tone. His throat was dry, so he was having difficulty speaking, but was sure she could hear him. The wound on his leg had also started to bleed once again. This was due to the interaction and excess moving he'd done in the fight with the walkers. ""I know what y'all are doin down here - with the women. And I get it. The whole thing is stupid, but I get it. Whoever ya take orders from, I understand what they're tryin to do here, but listen - this whole thing is a delusion.

Soon enough they'll run out of women and they'll f*ck you over next! There aren't good men out here and you know it. There never was.

She gave a look to the sky to check on the weather before walking towards Daniel, giving him a 'you sure?' as she passed him, climbing onto the back of the truck. She took her M4 carbine from her back, placing the stock down between her legs as she sat facing away opposite of the drivers seat. Amelia would wait for everyone to be ready in the truck before tapping the side of it twice to let whoever was driving know they were ready to move out."

The room wasn't much to look at, even if it was the nicest room in the hideout. It had been impossible to get a bed frame down there, so all Katie had was two mattresses stacked on top of each other. Tyler had given her the softest sheets he could find; Quilt blankets covered in hearts, flowers, or whatever girly pattern he could find. He had men come down and change Katie's sheets most ever day. It was a pain to do, as the men had to carry the sheets aboveground just to wash them. Lauren in particular did this job the most, as she seemed to be one of the few to even enjoy Katie's presence. The rest of them simply tolerated the child of their intimidating boss. Tyler was glad to have Lauren for this reason, at least.<br/><br/>He stared at Katie now, his eyes on her innocent face and the cute little picture. It felt almost unreal, that his innocent little girl could still exist in this crazy world. Everyone here was sick, and not just with the virus. They were all sick and corrupted; a mere shadow of their former selves. Tyler could not afford his little girl to become like the rest of them, even if he was forced to keep her in this dank dungeon. His future children would have to be corrupted out of necessity, but not his little Katie. Never his little Katie.<br/><br/>When Katie climbed into his lap, Tyler held her and whispered softly into her ear. He assured her that he would never leave her, no matter what happened. Never ever ever-<br/><br/><i>""Daddy? What does 'fuck' mean?""</i><br/><br/>It took Tyler a moment to respond.<br/><br/>""That's a bad word, Katie. It means to... mess with someone. Barney probably just wants to play a prank on the new girl."" He closed his eyes. ""And she's not your age, dear. She's Lauren's age. She's not going to be around long... she's just visiting."""

The two guards speaking to the stranger (Rob), pulled away from the survivor and headed to the van. The color already gave away whom was inside, but it was protocol to check anyway. As they approached the vehicle, the guards by the gates pointed their weapons at the van. The stranger was completely ignored at this time, they had more important matters at hand.<br/><br/>The van's window opened slowly as instructed and since the guard noticed who the driver was, he turned to the gate guards and nodded. ""All clear!"" the guard yelled, allowing the gates to be pulled open by shear force of man. The squeak echoed through Haywood, allowing all the citizens know the gates had been opened and somebody was entering. When this happened, nosy tenants would peek out their windows and watch whomever entered their home. It was usually just in-and-out between the guards, Bruce Levi, or Eli. Hardly ever did they allow new survivors to enter their facility, unless they were women, but they usually left within a week or two. The tenants believed the women were moved to a more secure location outside of Haywood and into another complex known as Nirvana. This was obviously a lie distributed to everyone by their Mayor and his assistant.<br/><br/>""Before you enter, what do you want us to do with the survivor?"" the guard asked the driver. The driver of course turned to Eli who was sitting in the back, and repeated the guard's question. ""We are about to begin the operation. Follow procedures as planned. Today Haywood belongs to the people. Today we overthrow the throne"" Eli instructed. The van then started froth, entering the complex, the guards outside locking the gates behind them.<br/><br/>The tow guards that were once with the survivor returned to him. ""You will have to wait until further notice. We won't allow you to enter the city until we are allowed to. If you attempt anything, we have orders to put you down"" the guard informed Rob. Unfortunately, Rob tried to join them at the wrong time.<br/><br/>As the van parked, Eli was the first to get out, followed by the men sitting in the back with him, then the driver and front passenger. All of them headed towards the confined zone of Haywood, prepared to enter the administration office, or as Eli calls it, the throne. Soldiers standing guard around the complex interior noticed the formation and joined it. Without having to be told, they knew exactly what was going on. So now, every guard that was inside the city and not guarding the gates were huddled behind Eli and heading towards the man of the hour, Bruce Levi.<br/><br/>As they reached the steps, everyone waited with their rifles ready and behind their new leader, Elijah Haywood. The man was basically a democrat, doing everything by the will of the people, focused on their success rather than his own. Some may say Bruce Levi was the same way, but unlike Bruce, Eli decided that everything, including laws, rations, medicine, scheduling, etc., should be decided by the majority, not by one man. Bruce Levi was a monarch, he did everything by his personal agenda. Even though the people were happy living in Haywood under Bruce's jurisdiction, none of them knew exactly what went on underneath their noses. Nobody knew of this underground trade, nobody other than the guards and Eli, his right hand man.<br/><br/>""BRUCE LEVI! Come on out you monster!"" Eli yelled, the men behind him holding conversations in the meantime. ""We've been caged by your terror for long enough! You've taken our women, our wives! For some, our daughters!"" he continued, turning to meet the eyes of some of his companions. Most of the women that were traded were mothers and wives. About ten percent were young girls, daughters of the men that held their weapons high. The citizens exited their rooms and watched from afar, knowing they were not allowed in confidential territory without a pass. ""Come out Bruce, tell these people your secrets, because if you don't, I shall!"" Eli yelled on last time, making sure Bruce could hear him from wherever he was.<br/><br/>During this rant, Bruce sat in his leather chair drinking from his glass. He ticked his finger on the wooden desk nervously. ""Damn traitor. What led him to such choice?"" he questioned, walking up the entrance of the entire building. He looked out the blinds and saw all the soldiers were with him. ""So this wasn't a last minute thing. He must have been planning this for a while. Fuck!"" Bruce cursed, throwing his glass on the ground, the entire thing shattering. Bruce walked side to side for a couple seconds, thinking of a game plan to battle this raid, but nothing came to mind. There was no other exit, the building was made that way. He felt the sensation that he would be killed by men he'd kept protected for almost a year. He'd been giving them everything they needed to survive, but in the process, stripped them of their women. The only thing is, if he hadn't done what he did, they wouldn't be in such a great position in this hellhole.<br/><br/>The doors then opened quickly, clashing against the side of the building. Bruce Levi stood at the entrance, his hands by his side. He didn't speak at all, just stared into the eyes of his ex-assistant. ""As instructed I headed to the raider camp...."" Eli started. ""....As always I handed him the module of trade. For all that do not know, we obtain all our resources from a pack of raiders!"" Eli yelled, letting all the people of Haywood listen to this rant.<br/><br/>""Shut your damn mouth!"" Bruce called out to Eli. His eyes dilated from all the fear that ran through his bones. The truth was about to be revealed and there was nothing he could do about it.....or was there?<br/><br/>""We do not take women to.....to this 'Nirvana'! Instead, this man right here...."" Eli pointed at Bruce. "".......This man has us trade our women into slavery. In return, we get food, medicine, water, weapons, and everything else we deem necessary! For so long have we been going through this process. Many of these men behind me have lost their wives. I have lost my wife! I have also fell a victim to this 'king'!...."" again he pointed. ""....But no more! Haywood, named after me, must become a democracy! The people are the will, not you! Never you! You will no longer hold us captive to your reign! WE DO NOT FEAR!""<br/><br/>Eli then started to walk towards Bruce. The men behind him remained still, just watched their new leader face off against the fallen king. ""This is annexation. We as people, as equals, take over Haywood as our own. You no longer rule here Bruce, you are here by banis-""<br/><br/>The last word of his speech was cut off as a shot rang out. The guards raised their weapons and pointed them at the 'king'. Eli fell to his knees as blood poured from his appendix, flooding the ground with red. The pistol used to fire the gun then landed alongside the red, getting tinted in the color. The entire event went down so fast that all the guards did was react. As Bruce placed his hands behind his head, the guards merely apprehended him. Most of them were more worried about their future leader. They rushed to his side for aid.<br/><br/>In the meantime, Bruce was taken captive and escorted to the one place prisoners were meant to be held, the cell. The cell guards opened the door to the building, inside, the pregnant girl, still strapped to the chair as if a slave. Once the uninformed guards were informed that the operation had already taken progress, they let the girl free of the chains. As a guard helped her stand and balance, Bruce was quickly brought in to take her place. On the way there, the man had been beaten half to death for what he had done. They placed him on the chair and strapped him in. ""Guess......I'm here to......relieve you"" Bruce told the girl with a smile, which in effect, was punched directly across the face. He spat out blood onto the side as one of the guards turned to the girl. ""Here"" he said, handing her a crowbar. ""I apologize for everything you and your child have been put through, but it was he who did this. He forced fear into all our beings, punish him as you see fit. It was Eli's last wish."" The guards then left the room, leaving only the girl and her child's father.<br/><br/>""What.....are you waiting on? HUH?! Isn't......isn't this what.....you wanted? Yeah......I remember. I always remembered you. I left you with that other......other girl. The soldier-like one. Did....she die?................Never mind, it doesn't matter. So? Are you....gonna kill me? What are you waiting on? DO IT! SHOW THEM! SHOW ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT NOBODY IS DIFFERENT! SHOW THEM THAT IN THE END, WE ARE ALL KILLERS!!"" Bruce yelled, finally showing his true colors. He'd always been so collective and calm, but now, in a time of despair, he'd become weak. As of now, everyone in Haywood was confused. Eli, the supposed new leader had been killed by the old one, and everyone was in panic. ""They all say that they'll no longer deal with the raiders, with Tyler, but that's not true. Even.....even if you kill me.......They'll be coming to get you. How do you think they'll get food and medicine? Hunting? Gathering? No! They're just having you......kill me so that my blood isn't on their hands. So that if it all fails, you're the one to blame. They'll say that Elijah and you were working together to overthrow me. That's what they'll do. Think about it. Why didn't they just kill me in town? Oh yeah, you don't know what happened do you? All of them, the guards, Eli..........they all came to my office and started ranting about my ideals to the public. Eli tried to kill me, but I shot first. Now i'm here. With you! So if you're not going to kill me, then leave! I don't want you to be the last thing I see, because you're pitiful! That child will burn in hell just like I will! It may be mine, but it means nothing to me. You're just another whore I fucked, that's it. Don't think yourself special because you had sex with an important figure. Nowadays, it doesn't matter. Nobody is gonna care for someone like you because you're a liability. How do you plan to have that child huh? In this world? No! It'll die before it is born and so will you! SO NOW KILL ME DAMMIT! I've got nothing else to live for. I've lost my world, my kingdom. There's nothing else I desire but death."""

She stared at the weapon, trying to make sense of their words.<br/><br/>Eli was dead?<br/>Bruce was overthrown?<br/>They wanted her to kill Bruce?<br/><br/>Before she could fully think about doing anything Bruce started to talk, doing what he did best : yelling at her and tearing her down with his words. All he ended up doing was confusing her. Did he want her to kill him or not? He kept changing his mind. One thing didn't change though. His words still hurt.<br/>Jess only stared during his rant that was sounding more crazed by the second. She felt that she saw him, truly saw him for the first time.<br/>He was a bully. He was a tyrant. But he was also a man who was scared. Scared that everything he had built was crumbling beneath him. Actually it was.<br/><br/>But instead of making her happy, it made her feel sorry for him.<br/><br/>She lifted the crowbar... and tossed it aside.<br/>Kneeling before him, she took his face in her hands.

Now you are going to have to live with your cowardice.""<br/>She stood upright. ""And yes, you are a coward. To say such things to me, such horrible awful things, you are a coward. You feel like you have to use words and violence to make people obey you. A leader isn't made from violence, he is made by the people who follow him. Look around you. If you were a better leader they wouldn't have been able to do this to you. Your people would have fought for you. But that is your own fault.

Should you change your mind some day, I will not keep your child from you, should you want to see him... or her..."" she lifted her head, a new look in her eyes. ""But do not believe that because you don't want me that no one will. I want to be wanted by a real man, not a coward who needs to hurt people in order to feel important. Because in the end, that kind of importance is an illusion.""<br/>A smile actually lit up her face, bringing a warmth to her eyes. ""I think I may have already met someone. I think... he already cares about me, so maybe... just maybe, he could grow to feel something for me. He is the kind of man you could only hope to become.""<br/><br/>Jess took a deep breath, ready to endure whatever venom he was going to spit at her. She just kept Floyd in her mind's eye. Thinking of him and his bravery would make her strong enough to endure this.<br/>""Despite everything, I do hope that you get everything you want Bruce.

His faithful four legged companion was at his side and was already sniffing the air. She was a chihuahua with short legs, small body and barked alot when a stranger would come near. She had her good and bad points but depending on the way that the dog helped you stay alive was a good thing to the old man.<br/><br/>The make shift raft that was fashioned by wires, cables and telephone logs had lasted the old man for these several weeks on the intracoastal waterway of the mighty mississippi.

The dead moved sometimes as a group, alone or a heard as he has heard from time to time with other survivors.<br/><br/>Minutes before the old man was going to dock the makeshift raft that he made, he threw out three cinder blocks that were tired to the corners of the raft. After floating closer to the cement decking the old man picked up his furry companion, looked before picking up one of three prepositioned poles and then used it to gentle vault to shore with ease thanks to the muddy waters of the mighty Mississippi.<br/><br/>landing with ease the old man began to survey this unknown area with disdain. The streets were dingy, marred with trash and marks of fires burned long ago.

One couldn't decipher if the water that ran his cheeks were from tears or sweat. His black blood continue to dissipate across the concrete below him. It created small puddles here and there. The guards remained outside, waiting on Jessalyn to due her bidding. They all wanted to honor Eli's last wish to rid of Bruce by the hand of his greatest treasure.<br/><br/>After a reluctant silence, Bruce raised his head, enduring the muscular pain. One of his eyes was completely shut from the swelling. His other eye though, remained intact and completely functional. He stared at her intensely, forcing her to stare back. Then the man started to shake his head left and right, east and west. ""I didn't mean to do it. I didn't mean to force these men to lose their women"" he said, suddenly breaking out into a sob. Each breath he took was different than the last. His anxiety was causing him to have dilated gasping patterns. Nobody had ever seen Bruce this low before, this was a first. ""I.......I never meant to hurt you either Jessalyn. That day - the day I wronged you - I did it because I was afraid. I promised you safety yet I failed to provide it, instead, I ran away and hid from what I did. And even know, just before you forgave me, I wronged you again. I just can't commit to this, to our child. How can I bring our kid into a world like this? Tell me? How can you believe everything will be alright? HOW?!! When I lead Haywood, I had to make decisions that no other human being would have ever made. I had to take away my friends' wives, for some their daughters, do you think I don't regret it? I DO! ALWAYS! It haunts me daily. At first I didn't know what would happen to them, but then realized what Tyler was doing. I know, believe me, I know that I'm no perfect being. I've sinned too many times that not even God can give me pardon. But even though I've faced many sorrowful difficulties I have indeed accomplished things. I've provided survivors with a safe haven for nearly a year. I've given them a house, food, water, medicine, a job - I've given them a purpose. I've not only saved people, I've started a revolution. Tyler informed me once that he'd wish to create such an organization as Haywood. He envied my creation. I met a man who traveled from Alabama who said him and his people had also set up a small complex such as Haywood. He said their location was walker free, not an undead bastard in sight. But most importantly, fate reunited us. Though I've showed no remorse, the truth is, I never stopped loving you. From the day we crossed paths right after the outbreak, I have never stopped loving you. I know I left, but that was because I feared having to lose you in the future. I know you still feel for me too, I can see it. You bare our child, please don't let those men out there take its father away. I want to help you, but I need you to help me first. You need to stop them from killing me, because you know they will. Please, if not for me, then for the child. I'm begging you to help me so that I can provide our child a healthy life.

He felt her gentle, smooth hand on his rough cheek. That motherly warmth transferred to him as they touched. That small gesture made Bruce think for a second. But with an oversight of other thoughts, that little light of hope diminished. Jess then helped him to his feet, but she was blind to what was coming.<br/><br/>""Stupid woman!"" he yelled, pushing her aside onto the wall. The pregnant teen's shoulder must have collided with the brick very harshly. That 'resentment speech' he had just given her was an addition to his lies. Bruce was a politician, with politics comes drama, a theatrical act. Bruce Levi was basically an actor who would always change his character to adapt. He used his ability to persuade and influence in order to morph his victim's thoughts. He had just performed act before Jess, making her fall desperately on his side. This sorrow she felt for him was part of his plan to escape. Bruce played her yet again, knowing she was gullible and using that weakness to his advantage.<br/><br/>""You're one stupid bitch you know?!"" the mayor criticized, giving her a kick to her leg. ""Do you really think I feel sympathy for these people?!"" he asked, not waiting for a response. In the meantime, he took the chair and placed it underneath the door's knob, locking it from inside. The soldiers had no idea what was going on inside the cell room, they just figured the screams were from the punishment Bruce was getting.<br/><br/>Bruce then rushed to her and placed his palm against her mouth, keeping her silent. ""I thank you for not killing me, but if I go out there, I'd get killed anyway. Even if you're to speak to them, to....to plea for my forgiveness, it wouldn't matter! I did those people wrong, I know I did, but I don't blame myself for it. I did what I had to do to survive. I helped them, but if they don't see it, then to hell with them!"" His palm started to squish her face even tighter, now covering not only her mouth, but her nose. ""I know I'm gonna die when I step out of this room, actually, if I don't, I still die, so fuck it! But before I die, I'll kill the only thing I really begrudge in this world, YOU! AND THAT DAMN CHILD!"" he yelled, moving his hands to strangle her.<br/><br/>His scream alerted the guards, notifying them to open the door. The only problem was that the door was locked from inside, not only by the chair, but by the lock itself. The guards started to slam their shoulders against it, but no luck. They didn't want to shoot because they feared the pregnant teen would get hit by a ricocheted bullet. ""Dammit! He must have gotten loose! Don't shoot, she may get hit, we don't know how far the bullets will go!""<br/><br/>""What if we just shoot the knob?"" one of the guards asked the other. ""Dammit, I don't know how these things work, I was just a gym teacher before this shit!"""

Please?""<hr/><b>Lynn - Underground Cell - Emma</b><br/><br/>Lynn shrugged. ""There's nothing you can do so you might as well just accept it honey.

Next time they put me in that arena I'm going to die. But I am not going down without a fight. I'm going to die fighting. Maybe after I'm turned into a walker Tyler will keep me as a pet and I'll get the chance to eat his brains. But I'm not that lucky.""<br/>The girl was sweet.

Her hands gripped his wrists, her nails digging into his skin, but it did no good. He was a like a man possessed.<br/>Her lungs began to burn. She scrambled, trying to push him off of her. She tried digging her nails into the skin of his face, causing scratches to form and his face to bleed.<br/><br/>Her vision started going dark...<br/>no... not her baby... not her baby...<br/>Lynn... Floyd... what was she supposed to do...<br/>She couldn't die like this... she had survived too much... her baby couldn't die like this...<br/><br/>With all the strength she could muster, Jess gave a hard kick to the one place on a man that Lynn had taught her was their most sensitive and prized area:<br/>his groin.<br/>Once he released her, she could try to make it to the door. All she needed was to knock the chair out of place, then the men with the guns could come in and help her.<br/><br/>Then she was leaving this place."

Her motions were just like a walker's, unbalanced, unsystematic. The gashing blood poured from his cheeks and writs, but Bruce remained motionless. He continued to apply pressure on her neck, attempting to diminish any morsel of breath the girl still possessed. He felt her tender neck tighten in defense to his grasp. Her heartbeat traveling up his arms, feeling every beat down his spine. He felt as though he was picking her off the ground, but it was merely the sensation of murder. She was so light that for a second, he lost sight of her, as if she faded like an empty cloud.<br/><br/>But once she returned, she struck him with punishment. Her foot traveled between his legs in a speed unknown. The force of impact thrashed every nerve in his eternal body, causing the king to collapse like a peasant. The situation was ironic because it seemed as though he was kneeling before Jess at this point, as if the king was bowing down to a prostitute. Though it seemed never-ending, the pain rushed out of his system within a fraction of a second. It was as though his intent - his demonic desire - exiled the discomfort of pain.<br/><br/>As the girl rushed towards the door, Bruce launched himself into a full-throttled bursting run. But as his hand came to her shoulder, a light blinded him mercilessly.<br/><br/>James 2:13<br/>""For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy.""<br/><br/>That light burned his skin like a rash, pushing him back into the darkness of the cell. He held his forearm to his face, preventing the light from incinerating his eyes. He felt a small flame commence in his abdomen, but in result, blood emerged in the shape of the fire. Another flame to the thigh, another to the shoulder. The embers stopped once the king fell upon his red water, putting out the furnace of pain. The light stopped burning, it actually looked peaceful and soothing to the eye. At this point, Bruce felt no pain, he just lay on the tainted wall, staring at the light. He had a smile on his face as though he was being awarded with beauty, but suddenly, that attraction was blocked by a figure. The small shadow stood between him and the light. Bruce reached out to move it, but his hands lay too far from its frame. His hands were waving side to side in attempt to remove the stain from the pure light of life. Bruce didn't hear any sound during this time, just a palliative hum. The blur did not move, instead, it multiplied. Two more shadows started to block the light, these were actually approaching Bruce. His heartbeat began to rise as his body started to shiver from the sudden frigid temperature. Still, he did not speak.<br/><br/>The two shadows stood next to him, Bruce turned from one to the other with his one good eye. The blur in his pupil still prevented him from making anything out of them. Once Bruce turned back to the light, he noticed something he hadn't. The lone shadow, the first blur had become synchronized with his vision. He started at the bottom of the shadow, slowly going up its physique. The shadow had the body of a woman, a pregnant woman. Her eyes glimmered even brighter than the light behind her. She was no longer a shadow, but light itself. Her stomach, round like the halo of an angel shined along side her very presence. When he recognized the being, he made sense of the situation. He lay on the cell wall and looked at his own body. He noticed the blood gushing form the bullet wounds. The puddle underneath him was gored in blood. The shadows that once stood on each side of him transformed into Haywood guards, both pointing their weapons at their king's head.<br/><br/>As the chill continued, Bruce finalized his return to reality. He knew for certain he would soon go into that good night, but raged, raged against the dying of the light. He was refusing to let himself die, but the cold breeze continued to maneuver its way through his inner soul. It froze all his systems, all his organs - kidney, lung, liver. He felt himself shutting down, his vision declining back to that blur once more. His jaw open as though he were about to say something, but his head dropped before words could be spoken. The cell room was then filled in silence."

She gave a hoarse scream from her sore throat.<br/>An instant later the door blew open. Jess didn't have time to close her eyes so she saw the whole thing.<br/><br/>Bruce's body flew backwards as the shots rang out. Blood spattered everywhere, getting spots on Jess' face and clothes. She stared wide-eyed as he bled to death. The Haywood guards blocked her view of the body.<br/>Now that the threat was gone Jess began to shake. So close... she and her baby had come so close to death... that had been the closest brush so far...<br/>And for it to be the father of her baby...<br/><br/>Jess buried her face into her hands and started to sob.<br/>Why? Why had he hated her and their baby so much? Men were supposed to be happy when they had children, or even if they weren't happy they just ignored it. She had never seen such anger, such hatred, such a desire to destroy.<br/><br/>The guards tried to ask her if she was okay but she barely understood them. Red marks from his fingers on her neck were now turning purple, beginning to bruise. Her face was streaked with tears and her eyes seemed glazed over. Her hair was messy and her clothes rumpled from the struggle.<br/><br/>One of the guards lifted her up and carried her out of the cellblock and to a residential building. People whispered and stared. Jess closed her eyes, not wanting them to see this moment of weakness and despair. If she had just killed Bruce herself he wouldn't have had a chance to try to hurt her baby. But even as she thought it, she knew she couldn't have done it. Even now, knowing how much he had hated her, she couldn't see herself killing him or anyone. She just didn't have it in her to kill. That made her a weakling, a burden to those around her.<br/><br/>She was laid on a bed in one of the rooms and, while one of the other guards sat with her, the one who had carried her ran off to find someone, anyone, who could help her."

Rob muttered as he looked around,<i> That was definitely a gunshot, and gunshots mean people are trying to kill each other....and that means that this place is probably not the most safest place in the world, but it does mean lots of people.

He pulled his backpack under his arm and stuffed his shotgun into it, he put it back on and unfastened his axes handle taking it into his left hand. He let the closest corpse approach and when it raised its arms he sidestepped and swung the blade of his axs into its head, it embedded itself through the nose and halfway through the skull. He pryed it out and let the ugly bastard fall to the floor, he watched as the other two approached slowly stumbling along. He stood there patiently his axe at his side and pushed his hair back, he chuckled and walked away from them.

She tried to put it out of their mind; This supply run was not going to take very long.<br/><br/>Finally, after a morning that had felt like forever, they had arrived. Clearview Mall stood across the parking lot, its grey concrete walls looking pristine contrasted with the litter and refuse scattered about the parking lot. Between the white paint stood a few vehicles, the remains of garbage, shopping carts, and the dead. She spied the word<i>Target </i>in big red letters by the shopping mall entrance.

""Bex,"" she said, calling him over.<br/><br/>""... How'd the food go?"" he asked.<br/><br/>Lauren paused to look over at Emma's cell. She grabbed Bex's arm gently and moved him further away from the occupied cells. ""Bull likes the guy. He's going to tell Tyler that he should be offered to join us."" Lauren hesitated slightly, and Bex put a hand to her shoulder.<br/><br/>""Did something happen?""<br/><br/>Lauren shook her head. ""No, not exactly...

They knew what had been going on in the complex, but were instructed to remain at the gates till further notice. The gunshots had indeed phased them, but they weren't gonna disobey orders. As Rob spoke out, the guards again loaded their weapons and kept him in sight. ""You shut your mouth. We were ordered to remain at the gates until told otherwise got it, so that's exactly what we'll do"" one of the two guards exclaimed.<br/><br/>In the mean time, the guard that had aided Jess to her room had found someone that could help. An old man, one of Haywood's tenants, had some medical history. He was a registered nurse for the Red Cross back in his prime, but never really took it as a profession. The old man looked over the pregnant girl, checking her pulse and the temperature of her forehead. Her skin seemed really cool and clammy, her pulse weak and rapid. The old man moved quite slowly, but efficiently. He put one of the pillows that laid around under her legs. ""You must keep her legs elevated"" he informed the guard. Then he covered her with two thin blankets. ""Check the medical supplies for Epinephrine, I need it.""<br/><br/>""Right away!"" the guard called out as he rushed towards the infirmary. The other guard just watched from the door without speaking.<br/><br/>The old man then turned to that door-guard. ""What exactly happened out there son? Why would Bruce kill Eli? They were best of friends"" the old man struggled to ask. He wasn't the only person confused, everyone was. The entire Haywood society had no idea why these events occurred. They were all asking the question, wondering if they should remain in the small town, or fade off and find somewhere else to live.<br/><br/>""You wouldn't understand if I told you sir. I just need you to take care of this girl right now okay?"" the guard asked, not waiting for the old man to respond, rather have him focus on Jess.<br/><br/>As the medicine made its way back to the room, the old man wasted no time to act. He injected the syringe in her arm and administered the Epinephrine. ""Now we wait"" the old man muttered.<br/><br/>Suddenly the gates to Haywood were opened from the inside. There were only two gates in the entire colony. That one, and the other one in the opposite frontier. The other one lead to the cell building where Bruce's body lay dead. Anyhow, the front gates had been opened, the light of day seemed to shine on the two guards outside. ""What the-"" the guard nearest to the gates called out as he backed away from the gates. ""Is it over?"" he asked the guards that opened the boundaries of Haywood. ""Yes, we've taken down the king. In the process, we lost Elijah as well.""<br/><br/>""What?!! That motherf*cker! What now huh? Whose gonna run this place?""<br/><br/>""Calm down Jarrett! We'll figure it out later.

But isn't it too early for that? We haven't even planned anything out, we haven't told anybody anything, I mean-""<br/><br/>""Calm down kid!"" the guard named Robert said, placing his hand on Jarrett's shoulder. ""The trade was scheduled for this time, that's when we'll make the first strike. The issue is that the girl is in bad shape. I know we are putting her life on the line, but if we don't do this then Tyler will have time to retaliate. We take down that monster, take back our women, and return to rebuild Haywood. That's the plan! Got it! So both of you, and..........You! I don't know who you are, I've never seen you before, but if you know how to use a gun, then you're coming with us got it?"" Robert asked, not waiting for the new guy (Rob) to respond. Jarrett and his partner started into the city, loading themselves into vehicles along with their rifles. They had three trucks, about five men in each.<br/><br/>Charlie, the guard that brought Jess the medicine was instructed to retrieve the girl and load her into the one van Haywood had. They had a plan, it was basically to raid Tyler's men during the trade and take the supplies, but keep Jess out of harm. They would make it seem as though the trade went as scheduled, but in the process, take out all the men and stand one step closer to taking down Tyler. Since Tyler never attended these trades, they would then assault Tyler's hideout. They knew it was dangerous, but if they didn't do it first and surprise these raiders, then they'd probably get attacked themselves for not following through with the trade.<br/><br/>""You can't move her, she's not in a good state, she should remain at bedside!"" the old man stated, putting himself between the guard and Jess. ""Sir I understand, but we need her now.""<br/><br/>""But why? What are y'all gonna do with her?""<br/><br/>""Nothing sir, we just need to move her to a safer location, that's all. Now please step out of the way"" Charlie instructed, picking Jess up and taking her to the van. He laid her down gently and then mounted the black vehicle himself. He knocked on the side of the van to let the driver know they were ready. Soon enough, the operation had begun."

Al and Gregory stood off to the side, their hands in their pockets and looking quite exhausted after moving the supplies. Brad couldn't sit still like them; No, he had to be moving between the boxes, ensuring everything on the list was there. It had to be the sixth time now he was checking, maybe seventh.

""We can get candy if we have time, but we're here for medical supplies and food first"" she said as she checked their surroundings. She pushed the carbine onto her back before pulling out the silenced pistol. ""Take point Daniel, I'll bring up the rear. Shannon should stick between us"" she said before giving him a clear nod to get this moving. Amelia didn't know how long they had, but she didn't want to overstay their welcome."

""But there's your first trick-or-treaters over there."" He cocked his head in the direction of the distant walkers. ""And I'll bet good money that we'll find a ghost and maybe a Frankenstein inside."" He slid the straps of his rucksack over his shoulders and pulled his pistol from his waistband, half-cocking the chamber to check for a round.<br/><br/>He nodded as Amy noted the he should take point. Daniel assumed position and began forward away from the truck. ""Keep an eye on my six."" He called back. It felt good to do this; he loved the feeling. His adrenaline was picking up and he felt himself become more aware.<i>Just like the field...</i>He slowed as they came to the glass doors, and he peered inside to look around quickly. He saw no threat through the dirty glass, and he forced the doors open, as the automated slide was definitely out of order by now. The large hall was open and uncluttered, but garbage and trashcans were scattered here and there.<br/><br/>The hall conjoined with into a four-way intersection, where four red pillars stood and touched the ceiling. At the end of the opposite hallway, he spotted a large<i>Target</i>sign. ""Should we hit the Target first?"""

For months the trade was done outside the gates of Haywood, but this day would be different. Since the acceptance of trade was shattered, the Haywood guards would finally be on the offensive. They've been planning this with Elijah for many months, nearly from the beginning of the trades. The plan was to drive to the center line of the two-way street that connected Haywood and the raider catacombs. They would then blockade that same street with about two vehicles, one of them being the black van that carried Jess. Of course, once Tyler's men drive up to the vehicles they won't be too happy because protocol would be altered. One of the guards, most likely Robert, would explain that they will no longer do trade outside of Haywood gates and this would be the new location where it should occur. He will probably say it was an order from Bruce Levi, though it obviously wasn't, but Tyler didn't know that.<br/><br/>Two other trucks would be hiding in the woods, the men prepared to ambush the parked raiders. They could possibly end Tyler's life then and there, making it easier to take down the catacombs later on. ""Everyone gear up!' Robert called out to the men in the blockading trucks. He stood before the sliding door of the van, looking into the distance of the street, waiting for the raiders. The men in the woods were armed from head to toe. They had their assault rifles pointed and ready to fire, safeties off. Robert looked back at the truck, hoping the girl was okay in there. If anything went wrong, their first priority was to make sure she remained safe.<hr/><b>Floyd - Cell - Bull</b><br/><br/>As the giant rock golem opened the door of his cell, Floyd looked up to meet him. The redneck's eyes were squinting tightly because a sudden gleam of light that attacked. Floyd looked hopeless there on the ground, motionless and without words. A lot of prisoners whom have been left alone for a certain amount of time end up talking to themselves, Floyd was an exception. He never really desired conversation, he was a loner. Before the outbreak, all the conversation he listened to was via his radio. He was fond of acoustic music and soft rock. He hadn't listened to any music since he abandoned his cabin before the world went to hell. If he was given the chance to retrieve one thing from that day, he'd pick the radio.<br/><br/>Anyhow, the Bull's voice echoed loudly in that small cell. It sounded like grunts, but it could still be deciphered as English. It irritated Floyd how Bull thought they were friends or something. In all, Floyd didn't believe he had friends, he had an overall thought that there were no good people out there. He'd prefer staying away from others so that he wouldn't get attached to someone he'd later lose. It would fuck with his mind in some way or so he believed. But then, Floyd's ear turned to Bull's words as he asked him to join them.<br/><br/><i>""We'd like you to join us, man.""</i><br/><br/>The man's hand was extended to take Floyd's. The thought of joining these pirates ran through Floyd's mind. He thought of all the outcomes and possible hazards joining them would bring. But also, he thought of what would happen if he didn't. Would he again face off in the arena against infinite amount of walkers? Would he be murdered for deciding not to join them? There was no way of knowing, the only thing Floyd<i>did</i>know was that if he joined them, he'd have a better chance of surviving. Not only that, but he may be able to escape this rotten place during night or something.<br/><br/>So with all set and done, Floyd took Bull's offer. He reached for the man's hand and helped himself up. ""Ya got sumplace I can get cleaned up?"" he asked the man in a near raspy-whisper. He still had that black undead blood all over his clothing and some on his face. The tray of food the raider-girl had provided him was empty. As much as he hated it, he didn't have a choice but to eat what was given to him. When people gave him things, Floyd thought he'd later owe them, but this situation was different. All he wanted to do was kill these people in cold blood, but only when the chance revealed itself."

Surprisingly the entrance they took appeared to be vacant, the sounds of one or two nearby being the only indication that they weren’t entirely safe. Amelia turned to look in the direction Daniel motioned to, giving a simple nod. “Sure, just keep your eyes peeled and your ears open, first sign of anything more than we can handle we should get out straight away” she clarified with a serious tone. She took a few steps forward, standing beside Daniel before turning to look at him, “How do you want to do this?” she asked, referring to what strategy they would use to safely progress towards the other side of the mall.<br/><br/>Daniel took a moment to observe the area again. “Just tread lightly and stick to knives and such, only use your gun if you have to.” He nodded to confirm to himself. He kept an eye on the right and left as they paraded through the cross-section.<br/><br/>It was as if she was seeing an action movie in person, as Shannon watched Amelia and Daniel suddenly become tense in their demeanor. They were unlike anyone else Shannon had ever traveled with. These two instantly understood each other in a way Shannon didn’t think she would ever relate to. She decided to can the jokes and the inane comments for the time being; She didn’t desire to become like Lexi. “Got it,” she said, following the pair obediently.<br/><br/>Amelia nodded before she took her knife from it’s sheath, holding it so her thumb rested on the hilt, the blade pointing the same direction as the barrel of her pistol which rested upon her wrist. She kept her aim pointed to the floor as she began her advance, moving slow and steady in sync with Daniel. Every time he’d move up and come to a stop, she’d move up a little further and do the same, simple standard covering technique as they soon came upon the store. Amelia looked to Shannon, waving her over before pointing towards Daniel, then at her eyes, then back to him. Signaling that she was going to cover him during their entrance to the store.<br/><br/>Daniel reached back with his right hand and slid his tomahawk from the strap on his rucksack. He gripped the middle of the hilt and held it with his right hand under his shooting arm. As they approached the large opening to the store, Daniel peered around quickly. He took a quick step in and help his pistol to the right and then to the left. “Do you want to stick together or should we branch out to cover space?”<br/><br/>With every step Shannon took, she felt more at ease. There weren’t very many walkers, even fewer than she expected. It was still not enough to let their guard down, but it was clear that the mall was far from overrun like they had feared. “I’m probably the least capable here, so Amy and I should look out for medicine while you try to find some food.”<br/><br/>Amelia moved in behind Daniel as he gave the all clear, motioning for Shannon to follow up behind her. She gave a quick glance around before nodding, “That’s probably a good idea, you’ve got the radios I gave you earlier, if you see or hear anything just give the button a press” she said before taking her own radio and attaching it to her ear, clicking the ‘on’ switch. She looked to Shannon again, “Ready to go?” she asked.<br/><br/>“Yeah.” She inched forward, attempting to stay very close to Amelia. It was nice to have someone like Amelia to rely on; Shannon knew she had never been the strongest of people, and that was especially true nowadays. It was an irritating thought she might actually be bringing her companions down, but she had accepted that possibility. All she could do was try her best to live and support those she cared about. “Amy, do you think that--” Shannon paused as her shoes<i> squelched</i>in a puddle of blood and brain matter. She looked down the aisle to find more dead monsters further down.<br/><br/>Before Shannon could say anything else, a man decked out in camo grabbed her roughly from behind. She cried out as she felt her body be flung to the ground, and a weight suddenly pressing down on her stomach. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another man attack Amelia with a knife.<br/><br/>Amelia spun around as she heard the commotion from behind, a momentary look of shock staining her expression before she focused in on what was happening. She raised her pistol to shoot the man attacking Shannon before the other man arrived, swinging a knife towards her arm which she only just managed to avoid as it glanced off the barrel of her pistol, knocking it from her hand. She ducked as he swung for her again, charging forwards into him and tackling him against a wall before giving him a hard knee to the stomach. The man grunted, growling “Bitch!” before he grabbed her roughly by her hair and threw her across the floor. She hit the floor hard, feeling the wind pushed from her lungs causing her to cough as she pressed a finger to her ear. “Trouble!” she managed to get out before the second attacker was on her again aiming to kick her in the head. She deflected the kick, rolling to her feet before she once again re-engaged the man.<br/><br/>He aimed another punch towards her head which she once again blocked, slamming her fist hard into his exposed jaw before kicking him against the wall again. In doing so she hadn’t seen the third attacker who blindsided her with a tackle, taking her back to the floor as he tried to pin her. She struggled, but the other soon joined him and she found herself unable to fight against the weight of both of them upon her.<br/><br/>Daniel was moving the second he heard the scream. He absent mindedly switched off the safety.<i>Trouble!</i>He heard Amelia call into the headset. Daniel turned the corner and saw Amelia pinned against the wall, and Shannon against the floor. It took two men to hold Amy back, but Shannon stood no chance against the man. Daniel took three heavy steps away from Shannon before launching himself into the man on top of her. The rolled twice before Daniel slashed into the man’s arm with his axe. He held the man on the floor, put his pistol to his head and pulling the trigger.<br/><br/>The man had been pinning Shannon to the ground, one hand over her mouth in an attempt to shut her up. She had tried to yell, but all she got were a bunch of dirty fingers on her mouth for her efforts. She had bit down on his hand, so the man instead held her jaw. His other hand pressed down on her face, so hard that she believed her nose was breaking. Then, finally, she was freed by Daniel, who wrestled the man away from her. She managed to sit up to see Daniel execute the man. The shot rang out, though muffled slightly, and blood splattered across the floor. The two men on Amelia hesitated, one of them deciding to pull away and shoulder his rifle. “Tyler’s going to be so fucking pissed!” he exclaimed, aiming the gun at Daniel. The other man shoved against Amelia so she couldn’t interfere. Shannon was closer to the man than Daniel, so she attempted jump off the ground and slam into the man’s legs. She slipped in the copious amounts of blood and only managed to get the man’s attention. He fired now, his shot puncturing Shannon’s arm. She screamed and collapsed fully to the ground.<br/><br/>Amelia felt the weight ease off as one of the men holding her left to confront Daniel. She attempted to use the opportunity to fight off the other, but a firm blow to her stomach caused her legs to wobble a little. She gritted her teeth, coughing as she continued to push against him. While the two men had held her they’d weakened her with repetitive punches to her stomach, causing her to struggle to keep herself standing. She turned her head as the second shot went off, hearing Shannon scream which brought back the horrifying memory of Naomi. In desperation she gave one last push of energy, moving his body just a little in front of her before she head-butted him hard, causing him to stagger backwards. As quick as she could she pulled her carbine from her back and leveled it to her arm, firing at the man who stood above Shannon reducing his head to pulp as more blood spattered across the room.<br/><br/>The man who had been holding her had recomposed himself and charged her again as she turned to finish him off too, but as she fired he’d got in close and pushed the rifle up causing the bullets to pepper one of the stores lights causing sparks to rain over them. They remained locked in a grapple, Amelia looking to be too weak and outmatched in strength to keep it up as he slowly gained ground over her, forcing her arms down as he pushed her onto her knees.<br/><br/>As the final raider had Amy on her knees, Daniel quickly stood, placed both hands on the man’s shoulders and gripped his shirt. He forcibly threw him to the ground and let him slide against one of the aisle shelves. “Help Shannon!” He shouted to Amelia. The man staggered to his feet and attempted to throw a punch, but Daniel sidestepped the blow, brought himself around the man and pulled him into a choke hold. Daniel forced the man’s throat against his forearm and bicep, roughly applying pressure until the fighting man went limp.<br/><br/>Amelia slowly rose to her feet once Daniel had taken care of the last Raider, holding a hand to her stomach which had been punched multiple times. She threw the carbine onto her back before staggering to Shannon where she sank to her knees, pulling out bandages as well as some medical tweezers. She wasted no time as she dug into the wound and pulled the bullet, holding the arm tightly to stop her moving before pressing down on it as she looked to Shannon, “It’s gonna be alright” she reassured, knowing this had to be painful as she hadn’t even been given any morphine. She needed to stop the bleeding, so she tied a rag around the arm tightly while she took a needle and suture thread from her backpack, taking the rag off again as she began to quickly stitch the wound. It was going to scar there was no getting away from that. But at least she’d be alive and that was the main thing. When she was finished she re-bandaged the arm firmly. Pouring some bottled water over it to keep it relatively clean. She sat back and finally caught her breath.<br/><br/>The pain was incredible. Shannon could not discern what happened after she was shot. All she could think about was the pain, how it felt like a hot knife was plunged into her arm. She cried and moaned on the ground, trying to focus on her friends. Eventually, she realized Amelia was kneeling over her. Shannon tried to sit up, tried to reach out for Amelia, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She coughed, realizing it was not just her arm that felt like it was on fire now. As Amelia pulled the bullet out, her reassurances fell on deaf ears as Shannon screamed. It wasn’t long before she was passed out.<br/><br/>Daniel lowered the man to the ground, turning him over and pulling both his arms behind his back. He looked around for a moment. Rope; he needed rope. He reached down and untied the man’s boots and pulled out his shoelaces. He tied the man’s hands together and stood up."

Her daddy wanted her to be safe, that was why she had to stay in her room so much. But if she could prove that she could take care of herself then maybe daddy would let her out more, maybe even let her go to the surface. The thought of the sunshine and the wind in her face made her smile.<br/><br/>Going to the door, Katie poked her head out and looked. No one was around. Forgetting to shut the door, as usual, the seven year old hurried down the hallway to the vent system. Climbing up inside the vent cover slammed shut with a clang that she was sure someone heard, but she just giggled. Everyone was too big to fit in the vents except for her. They'd never catch her in here.<br/>After crawling around for a bit, spying on a couple of the big smelly men arm wrestling and playing with guns, Katie saw one man do something funny. He was in one of the rooms where daddy kept everything. He was in one of the rooms that had weapons, things that Katie wasn't allowed to look at much less touch. He was taking things out of a box and putting them in his pocket. Then he moved to another box and looked over his shoulder before putting some kind of large knife in his vest.<br/>Was he... stealing...?<br/><br/>Katie instantly felt indignant. How dare he steal from her daddy?!<br/>""That's bad! I'm going to tell on you!"" she shouted before thinking.<br/>The man whirled in surprise, then his eyes narrowed on the vent. Katie scrambled back and screamed when the man ripped off the vent cover and grabbed her before she could get away. When he pulled her out of the vent she bit him.<br/>""You little f-cking brat!"" he shouted.<br/>""You said a bad word!"" she accused and took off running. Now she had another reason to tell on him.<br/>""Daddy!"" she cried out as she ran, not really sure where she was going since she was so focused on getting away. ""Daddy!"" she cried again, getting scared now. The man was angry and getting closer. He nearly caught her a couple of times.<br/>""I'm going to cut that nosy nose of yours off!"" he growled and she screamed in fear. Turning a corner she plowed face first into a solid body of a man. He stunk and was covered in black stuff, but she didn't care. She ran behind him, using him as a shield/hiding place. ""Don't let him hurt me!"" she begged, holding on tightly to the man's pant leg. ""He's a bad man! He was stealing!""<br/>""Snot-nosed little bitch!"" the man snarled and reached for her.<br/><br/><b>Jessalyn - Black Van - Fatigue</b><br/><br/>She was so tired... she barely felt herself being moved into the vehicle.

They were still going to trade her?!<br/>""No!"" she screamed. ""Please! Don't!"" she cried, pushing the man's hand away. ""Don't give me to him! He's the Devil! Please!""<br/>More voices spoke, trying to reassure her, but she was so terrified and borderline exhausted that they didn't make much since. Finally one man had to wrap his arms around her in a comforting hug. He patted her head soothingly and repeated the same words over and over :<br/>""You'll be safe. I promise. You'll be safe.""<br/><br/>She didn't believe them. How could she? If they gave her to Tyler, her life would be an endless hell.<br/>Lynn...<br/>Floyd...<br/>Where were they? She wanted them. She wanted safety.<br/>She wanted... she wanted to sleep...<br/><br/>Finally the mental and emotional exhaustion took it's toll. Jess sagged against the one who was trying to calm her and cried silently. The movement of the van had a calming effect as well. She had almost fallen asleep when they stopped. Then she was alert and scared again.<br/>""It's okay,"" the man assured her. ""Tyler won't hurt you, I swear. I am sorry to put you in harms way, but we need you as a decoy in order to get Tyler out here so we can attack him directly.""<br/>So... this was all... a trap? For Tyler?

""You ever have a sponge bath before?"" Bull had asked, amusedly. ""You get fuckin' used to it, so don't worry!"" When they checked out the armory, Bull was quick to inform him that he would go weaponless for a little while. They had trust issues down here. Of course, the Bull laughed it off like it was nothing. Heck, maybe he'd share a little something with Floyd if the guy ever decided to open up.<br/><br/>Bull was on his way to showing Floyd where the supplies were kept when a little munchkin attacked Floyd's legs. It took Bull a moment to realize what was happening before he grabbed the man reaching for her.

Harley was shaking now, his squinty little eyes looking every which way. ""The little brat was sneaking around our supplies fucking sniffing around,"" he said.<br/><br/>Bull looked down at Katie, who had attached herself to Floyd's leg. She looked more angry than scared; She was certainly Tyler's daughter. Shaking his head, Bull said, ""You're an idiot, you know that?

He was smiling, something he didn't do so often as of late. ""... How far along is this woman, then?"" Brad asked.<br/><br/>Tyler stared out the open window. ""They don't know for sure, but she's far. She could give birth in a month, maybe."" In the silence that followed, Tyler began tapping on the side of the truck.<br/><br/>""... The hell?""

A little girls yell echoed through the rough-patched pavement walls. Floyd turned to Bull to see if he fluttered at the noise. The giant golem didn't even seem to notice such a faint sound until it appeared. Due to Floyd's excessive experience in the hunt, his senses have become sharper than most. As the screech got louder, Floyd noticed two sets of footsteps. One made thick thumps, while the other was so light it was barely resounding. Floyd quickly dashed passed Bull's gravitational pull and walked faster towards the noise.<br/><br/>Suddenly, around the corner, a small child burst around the redneck's legs. ""What th-"" Floyd called out, noticing the child seemed frightened by whatever was coming. Floyd turned up, waiting for a beast to also reach him. In addition to the loud footsteps that approached, Floyd could hear the faint breathing. Whatever was coming was running out of breath following this poor kid. It all became silent when the beast throttled passed that wall into Floyd's intersection. The imaginary eye could see horns and black auras coming from that being. His teeth would seem like sharpened river rocks prepared to gash through ones neck. It looked as if flies and maggots surrounded his body, hungry for the reeking odor of the demon. That's most likely how he appeared to this child.<br/><br/>Before coming forward, the girl begged for protection. Floyd couldn't help but see a familiar face in the child's. He wasn't about to lose yet another innocent person.<br/><br/><i>""Snot-nosed little bitch!"" the man snarled and reached for her.</i><br/><br/>As the demon claw came forth the giant Bull blocked its path. Bull growled at the rat, angered by his actions. But Floyd couldn't let this go unnoticed. He went towards Harley, forcefully took the man by the arm and pushed him towards the wall - face first. Then he rushed forth and slammed his forearm to the back of the man's head, causing his nose to burst open against the wall. Blood poured from its nose as it tainted the walls in red, which at first seemed black. The<i>man</i>fell to his knee, enclosing his face with his palms. He grunted and cursed from the pain. Without noticing, Floyd seemed to have back away with the child still behind him. He looked fiercely at Bull, prepared to be attacked for breaking one of his men's nose. Floyd's rough-housed hand lay on the child's shoulder for protection. It basically informed her to stay behind him.<br/><br/>""Ya got sumthin you wanna tell me?!"" Floyd snarled at Bull. He stood firmly on his two feet waiting for whatever was coming. He looked towards the fallen raider. ""You had that comin!"" he yelled at him.

Robert, ex-Haywood guard, now known as the leader watched as Jess was calmed. It seems that she had some anxiety or stress related health problems. It was obvious this was no place for such a young girl, especially one that was carrying child. As one of the guards - Sam Nelson - made her comfortable, Robert handed Jess a small knife. The knife was big enough to puncture through a walker's skull, but small enough to remain hidden if necessary.<br/><br/>Of course, Robert did this after she had become stable. ""We need you to take out Tyler.."" he started, his face completely serious, not a single speck of superficial attitude at all. ""If you can't do it I uner-"" Robert started, cut off by the sound of a moving truck coming their way. ""He's here.....be ready"" he told Jess, all while Sam and the other men exited the van. They watched as the roaring sound of the loud engine busted through the woods. Robert looked to his sides to make sure his hidden men were there, but they were so hidden he couldn't see them.<br/><br/>Tyler's right hand man Brad suddenly started an outburst of yells.<i>""What's with this, huh? What's the fucking deal?!"" he yelled.</i><br/><br/>Robert, Sam, and the van driver stepped up. ""We've decided that this will be the new trading ground between each other. It's basically the center-line between our two communities, so I figured it'd be more practical. Now, like always, we'll inspect the materials we've asked for, then you get to see the girl. Okay?...........Okay. Sam, Elliot, go ahead"" Robert instructed, hoping they didn't ask why Eli wasn't the one managing the trade. It had always been him until now.<br/><br/>Elliot and Sam passed up Tyler and Brad, heading to the back of the truck. They looked inside, not taking much time. ""It's all set!"" Elliot called out as the two started back towards the van. Each of them had a pistol hidden underneath their shirts. At this time, Robert stepped back to the side of the van. Without anybody noticing, he knocked gently on the slide door, alerting Jess that it was time. They had only one shot, if not, this might turn into a massacre.

It was a bit nuts, but Bull figured Floyd just had something to prove.<br/><br/><i>""Ya got sumthin you wanna tell me?!""</i><br/><br/>Bull shrugged. You see, he liked it when a man had something prove, especially one as entertaining as this one. ""That's nothin' compared to what Tyler will do to him if he really was stealing."" He peered down at the little girl still cowering behind Floyd. Bull lowered himself to his knees, though the action strained him slightly. Sometimes, he felt far too out of shape for his own good.

None of them appeared to be Eli, the man who was always asking about his former wife. Brad was right, all of this<i>was</i>bullshit. Asking for triple and changing the procedure, Haywood was assuming he was willing to put up a lot for one pregnant woman. Tyler could feel his pulse quickening, his face growing hot; He was growing angry with these people, but he had to keep himself in check. All he needed was to see the woman, to<i>have</i>her.<br/><br/>Then one of them was holding the van's slide-door handle. ""She's in here Tyler, like always,"" he said. 'Like always', as if anything about this deal was the usual.<br/><br/>Brad grabbed Tyler by the arm. ""Bring her out, then,"" he said, his other arm pointing to the ground. ""You walk her out of the van, and we pretend there's a line between us. Right here."" His pointed hand gestured to the centre of the road between them and made a line in the air.<br/><br/>Tyler took a step forward and shrugged Brad off. He kept the man around for a reason; Brad was a paranoid mess, and dedicated to his boss to a degree that sometimes made Tyler uncomfortable, but those were good traits to have in a second-in-command these days. ""Sounds good to me,"" Tyler said. ""Get your men back on your side and my men will carry over your supplies. Then we get the girl."" He put a hand into the air, his palm flat out toward the guy beside the van. ""But only the girl and the supplies cross the line at this point. It's only fair, after all these changes you've made."" With that said, Tyler stepped back to stand just before the truck. Brad took his place next to him.<br/><br/>""And get her out of that van so I know she fucking exists."""

A small trail of blood drops followed the two men to wherever they were headed. Must have been Harley's broken nose or something. Floyd couldn't believe he was left alone and trusted to do as Bull said. Why in the world would he not use this time to escape? But it was true, what could he do? Even is he were able to get his hands on the guns spoken of, there was no way he would be able to take down every raider he met on the escape. He would be confronted and killed for treason, a treason he never desired to be tied into.<br/><br/>Knowing he had no other choice, Floyd turned to the child who still held to his leg. He could see the tears run down her cheeks like rainfall. Her tears were soaking his cargo pants. In attempt to calm her, the redneck placed his rough hand on her head. ""Calm down kid, these are ma gud pants"" he joked without a smile. Then he released himself from her grasp and walked in front of her. ""Now, let's get ya to your room"" he continued. He waited to follow her, patiently, but irritated at his situation. ""Anyway, why're ya runnin round down here all on ya own? Your like five, you should stay in ya room, this ain't no place for a kid.""<br/><br/>Floyd then wiped his mouth with his forearm, trying to remove the dried up blood. He couldn't use his tank because it may be infected. ""Do ya know where I can get changed by any chance?"" he asked the little girl as he started down a random hallway. ""Let's get goin"" he called out to her, pretty positive he was going the right way.<hr/><b>Haywood Guards - The Road - Tyler/Brad/Raiders</b><br/><br/>Sam and Elliot made their way back to the black van. They watched as Tyler's men unloaded the cargo supplies and placed them on the 'line'. Robert could see the raider's faces full of question and doubt. It seemed that this rash change of the ordinary caused them to become startled, they seemed to be taking more precaution of what they were doing. At the same time, Tyler was becoming inpatient, something Robert feared. This could lead to an impulsive fire fight.<br/><br/>As the raider's leader instructed them to open up the van, Robert understood he had no other choice. It would come down to Jess at this point. If she did not succeed in killing Tyler now, it would most likely cost, not only her own life, but the life of many Haywood guards. Slowly and gently, the slid the van's door open, allowing the sunshine to peak through steadily. This light might have blinded Jess, but only momentarily as Robert extended his hand to hers.<br/><br/>He took her by the wrist and pulled her towards him. ""Its time. Now or never"" he whispered to her, acting as though he was forcing her to him. Merely acting, Robert rushed her out of the van, pushing her along towards the white line. ""Here's the girl Tyler, just as described!"" he yelled across to him. He began to take her towards the 'line', in the meantime, having his men begin loading the supplies. ""Get the knife ready"" he whispered yet again to Jess. As he took her forward, he looked to his sides, right and left, licking his bottom lip. This was the sign that everything was about to go down.<br/><br/>The men in the woods raised their guns, walking closer to the street without hurry. They didn't want to step on any branches and make an echoing noise across their location. If they did, Tyler would surely know something was up, more than what was already occurring of course. He wasn't a stupid man, maybe just ignorant, thinking nobody could take his organization down. They took down Bruce Levi, this was just another pest to remove from this new earth."

And with Harley hurt like he was there was no way her daddy wasn't going to find out.<br/>Katie slapped a hand to her forehead. ""Daddy's going to ground me forever,"" she moaned.

The little girl's actions seemed so fake, like if she were in a dramatic play or something. When her hand came upon her forehead, Floyd turned his head to hide the unbelievable joy on his face. The little things were the ones that made the most for Floyd. Even before the outbreak, the redneck didn't smile much unless the radio people made jokes. He didn't interact much with others, nor had any bonds with anyone, not even with God. He was basically the lone wolf that roamed the country side merely to stay alive. Though he had a home, a bed, and food, he still had those survival instincts, the ones now have merely upgraded.<br/><br/>Anyhow, as the girl started to bluntly comment on his stench and appearance, Floyd couldn't help but to respond. ""Little girl, ya don't nuthin bout<i>stinky</i>"" he commented as she started to pull him along. He was referring to the odor of many walkers. Their decayed bodies reeked even worse that Floyd at the moment, especially when there was a hoard of them. Some people watch out for walkers, Floyd sniffs them out before they appear.<br/><br/>As they arrived at the communities washroom, Floyd watched the little girl attend to him. She seemed to be very motherly, probably acting as though Floyd was one of her dolls or something. Suddenly she pulled his shirt and made him bend down to her height. She started applying the wet towel all over his face and neck, removing the dried up blood. ""I ain'tcha boy-toy girl"" he commented as she continued to wash him down.<br/><br/>She then started to rant about randomness, but one thing definitely caught Floyd's ear. ""Wait! What'd ya just say?"" he asked her, reassuring that what he heard was correct. ""What's this bout a girl? What girl? Was she pregnant? Can ya take me to her?!"" he asked in a loud whisper. His neutral voice was like that though, in addition to raspy. He had completely ignored every question she had asked him, it wasn't much important to him right now. ""C'mon kid, take me to the girl"" he instructed, fixing his shirt as he straightened up. He feared the worst at this point, knowing what 'Tyler' was doing to these women. He remembered what the blonde woman at the train tracks had told him about these raiders. Floyd got himself into something he could have avoided in the first place. If he would of just walked away from that skeleton man everything would have been the same, or at least, somewhat the same."

Brad stepped in turn with him obediently. Al and Gregory stepped away from the supplies, their job done for now. A few feet from the 'line', Tyler stopped and shrugged. ""Well, she's certainly pregnant,"" he said. He hadn't doubted that this woman would be; He was looking for cuts and bruises or some sign of physical impairment. It wouldn't do to receive a woman two steps away from a miscarriage. However, like described, she appeared to be a healthy woman, and no more damaged than anyone could expect in this world.<br/><br/>""You just come over to us,"" Brad said. ""Everyone else stay back.""<br/><br/>Tyler turned his head slightly to look at Brad. The man was shifting his weight from one foot to the other.

This was a six year old girl, little children always made up crap, especially imaginary friends and shit. But the fact that Katie didn't know where the girl was, then she was basically un-helplful. Floyd started walking back and forth, getting angered and frustrated that he no longer had a lead to finding the 'girl'.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the little child started to rant about her feelings and emotions. She spoke about her father's neglectfulness and inattentiveness. In all honesty, Floyd didn't care much for the child's overall feelings. He didn't know her, nor was he her friend or bound to her in any way. But he understood that she was being abruptly put down by these acts of encasement. She was like a bird locked in its birdcage. Apparently, she had never seen the light of day, or something of the sort. Floyd sat on the counter and watched her in silence. He listened to everything she had to say, waiting for a chance to speak - which never came.<br/><br/>The entire situation changed when voices could be heard from the hallways. Since Floyd wasn't close enough to the door, he couldn't only hear<i>some</i>words. Therefore, he couldn't make sense of the raider's conversation. Though once the girl turned, she had seemed to understand exactly what they were saying, except for one thing. She asked Floyd what the word 'fuck' meant. For a second, Floyd became startled by the sudden question. Such a little girl already cursing like a grown woman, what were the odds. Floyd starred at her with his squinting eyes, blood now cleared off his face.<br/><br/>This world didn't only change adults, it changed the next generation of people. This girl hadn't seemed to yet experience the outside world, yet she attained their effects. She was growing faster than what one as a parent would desire. Floyd himself never had the thought of building a family, it was too much a responsibility to him in addition to it being very challenging. Protecting them under the circumstances he lived in back in the day wouldn't have sufficed. His children would have mostly died in the mother's womb. So to make sure this little girl didn't think him anything of the sort, Floyd was going to answer his question how he would anybody else, treating this girl like a grown up.<br/><br/>""The word 'fuck' basically means 'go screw yaself'. So when sumbody doesn't let ya go outside like ya want, say 'fuck you, ya simple minded piece of shit'. That's what I say, and let me tell ya, it works like a charm. Don't let these pirates mess with ya, cuz they know if they do, ya daddy'll kick their ass. In this place ya seem to be like a little queen, use that power. Personally, I hate you Yankees, each and every single one of ya, but I ain't got nowhere to go ya see"" Floyd said, grunting as he stood from the counter.<br/><br/>""Now, I need to get a change of clothes. Do ya know where I can get some?"" he finished, hoping to give this girl a little company. Though he thought he didn't care and knew that he shouldn't, he couldn't help but feel how<i>she</i>felt. She was a lonely child, just like Floyd back in his time. She was feeling the same effects he was, abandonment. Therefore, in an odd way, they were connected by some sort of fate, or something like that. It was all shit anyway."

As if whatever otherworldly powers that existed had decided to hand him a present. It was definitely a sign, and in that moment, Tyler felt overwhelmingly assure of himself.<br/><br/>But then she started asking even more questions. Questions that proved her naivety.

""I ain't like all those men out there"" he started again, pointing out the door, defining the raiders as<i>them</i>. ""I ain't afraid to talk shit around ya, I ain't afraid to make<i>you</i>afraid. Like ya said, I ain't from around here, I don't have to put up with your rules, I've got my own. I ain't afraid of ya daddy like all of them out there, I ain't afraid of nuthin. So if ya go accusin me of sumthin I ain't even do, Ima get angry, yea. Wouldn't you?"" he asked sarcastically, not waiting for her to respond. It seemed that his little rant had shut her up since she began to pout.<br/><br/>Then, with the silence filling the air, the distance between them dwindled. Her tiny little hand reached her and began to pull him along. With a risen eyebrow, Floyd was forced to follow. She had told him he could wear her father's clothing, meaning they were probably headed to the man's room. On the way there, the girl finally decided to tell Floyd her name. ""Katie"" it was. She also added unnecessary information that made Floyd feel a bit of pity for the girl, but not enough to really<i>feel</i>for her. He only protected her back there was because she was innocent. Still she is, even though she bugs Floyd like a pest. If she were in any danger, there would be some sort of click in Floyd's senses that would cause him to inevitably protect the girl. It was the same as it had been with Jess - but that case was a bit different. Anyhow, as she started to inform Floyd of the names some of the raiders called her, Floyd gently slapped the back of her head with his other hand. ""Don't let what other people think of ya get to you"" he finished, resuming his stride towards the boss man's quarters.<br/><br/>Then she made a joke, giggled, talked about cookies, and finally made it to the room. Tyler's living quarters were nothing like Floyd assumed them to be. They were..........normal. He had things a normal human being would have, nothing out of the ordinary. The man even had a picture of his family, a picture Katie obligated him to look at. Floyd stared at the picture, turning away from the clothing behind him. The little girl pointed at her family members, naming them. ""Daddy........Mommy......Big Brother......"" Floyd took a look at Tyler, first trying to find some sort of disruption with his appearance, secondly attempting to remember him so when he meets the man. Katie then told Floyd that her mother and brother had left, meaning they'd died. Of course, the little girl was told otherwise, but Floyd wasn't as naive as the child, he knew the world. Floyd never had a picture like that one, a picture where his entire family was together. For that matter, Floyd didn't remember ever taking a picture, a memory that must have faded with the rest of the world. As Katie commented in respect to her father's greatness, Floyd huffed. The girl didn't even know what was happening beneath her feet. If she did, she might have a second opinion about her father, but Floyd would let her find out on her own.<br/><br/>Returning to the clothing, Floyd removed his shirt revealing the tattoo of a angel's left wing burning. The smoke rising to form the body of a demonic figure with one angel wing forming on its left, the other wing one of a demon. It was a beautiful piece of art for some, other's saw it as a hellish and disturbing sight. Without further ado, he covered it up with a navy blue, green, and grey plaited buttoned down shirt. On top of that, he placed a dark jean denim jacket which was also covered by a leather jacket that fit perfectly. ""Your old man has good taste"" Floyd complimented. ""Now, I need to see that woman that gave me the food. The one that hangs around the big man from earlier.""<hr/><b>Robert/Haywood Guards - The Road - Jessalyn/Tyler/Rob/Raiders</b><br/><br/>As the girl hesitantly stood there, not acting upon given instruction, Robert began to get nervous himself. The situation they were all in was already dangerous, but if the procedure wasn't followed according to plan, then it'd get even worse. Robert himself was close enough to Jess to see how nervous the girl was. At first, he though that her little conversation with Tyler would cause some unnecessary tension, tension that could lead to unpronounceable conflict.<br/><br/>The men hidden in the woods started sweating. They had been motionless for a while now and were waiting for the signal. The food and supplies were already loaded up into the one Haywood van. If this had been a regular scheduled trade, the Haywood people would have already returned to their community, but this was a whole different situation. They had never imagined to fight against another army, but things had to get done. They could no longer hide the inseparable grudge they had against the people that stole their women.<br/><br/>Robert stepped forth, getting closer to Jess, trying to figure out what was holding her. He got so close he then heard her whisper.<i>""I have to find Lynn""</i>she started.<i>""If I attack him now, you and everyone here will die. I can't have your lives on my conscious.""</i>For a second, Robert tried to process her words, not sure she understood that Tyler was outnumbered. Maybe she didn't know they had people scattered through the woods, maybe she was just honestly telling him the cold truth. If she stabbed him, the raiders would most definitely start shooting, there was no denying it. In that case, Robert nodded at the girl, letting her know he'd let her go. ""We'll find you"" he whispered back before walking towards the van. He wave his finger to the Haywood people around him, letting them know it was time to roll. The people in the woods were awed by this. They weren't sure what had happened, but know that<i>that</i>signal wasn't the one declaring to fire. Therefore, the woodmen loaded back into their trucks and waited for the van to start back to Haywood. Once it did, the trade was concluded, just not the way Haywood imagined it to be. It seemed like every other trade from the previous months. They failed to strike first."

Tyler boggled at this, his anger flaring up again. What was there to discuss? There was no choice in the matter; Either she came quietly, or she came by force.<br/><br/>""Good, there's no need for things to be difficult,"" Tyler said when the woman finally walked across the line. She stared at him, her face full of determination but her eyes open wide in fear. Tyler wasn't sure which feature irritated him more. He took the woman gently by the shoulder and directed her toward Al and Gregory, who helped her climb into the bed of the truck. Brad got a little weird whenever he was forced to sit with the women.<br/><br/>The truck backed up and pulled a one-eighty. Tyler took a look back to make sure neither of the men were treating Jessalyn roughly. It was almost surreal to have this woman fall into his lap so easily. He would not have to get it out of Lynn now, a task that he knew would have been very difficult. With that out of the way, Tyler could truly start with Lynn. He had big plans for her, after all.<br/><br/>""We can't keep doing this,"" Brad said. ""Fuck Haywood."" The man slammed a fist down on the steering wheel. ""Something was up with that deal today, Boss. I swear it."" Tyler didn't respond, but he felt himself agreeing with Brad. That wasn't the man's usual paranoia talking; The deal today was simply off. Tyler would have to cut them loose, no matter how valuable they had been.<br/><br/>The rest of the drive was spent in silence.<hr/><b>Bex - The Cells - Tyler, Lynn, Jess &amp; Emma</b><br/><br/>Bex sighed and shifted on his feet. He'd been watching the cells all day now and it was becoming increasingly difficult not to just walk away now. He had spoken with the girl and all he had gotten out of it was a gnawing feeling of guilt.<br/><br/>Tyler walked into the cells, flanked by Brad. He held a pregnant woman by the arm. No doubt she was the girl offered in the deal. ""Bex, excuse us for a moment, will you?""<br/><br/>Bex shrugged. ""Sure thing."" He had had enough of this job anyway. He made his way for the exit, ignoring the dirty look that Brad gave him along the way. Outside the entrance, Bex stopped. He couldn't stop thinking about that girl, Emma. It occurred to him that the next time he saw her, she could already be broken. ""For fuck's sake,"" he muttered, stepping across the hall and ducking into another corridor. He stood up next the wall, his head turned toward the entrance to the cells.<br/><br/>""... friend for you,"" He heard Tyler say. There were scraping noises, as if someone was dragging their feet. ""Funny how things work out, isn't it?"" Tyler said, a grin practically audible in his words. ""You two should catch up."""

He was really confusing. One minute he was being nice, the next he was yelling at her.<br/>She shook her head, giving up trying to understand adults.<br/><br/>She nodded at his statement. ""That's Lauren. She's okay, but doesn't know how to play very good. She's probably in Bull's room,"" Katie giggled. ""She's not his wife, but they both act like she is. I even saw them kissing!"" She exclaimed, giggling more.<br/><br/>""I really wish you would stop being so angry,"" she said as they went along, her leading him by the hand. ""You yelled at me and I didn't do anything,"" she added, waiting for him to yell at her again.<br/>But for some reason his yelling didn't scare her. He was like a big dog - he barked loudly, but didn't bite. Well, at least he didn't bite her...<br/><br/>Instead of leading him right to Lauren, she stopped off in the mess hall. ""Here, sit. I'll go make you something,"" she said and ran to the kitchen.<br/>The extent of her cooking skills was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but at least it was something. She hurried back once it was made. ""I used grape jelly,"" she said proudly. ""I would have cut the crusts, but I'm not allowed to use a knife.""<br/><br/><b>Jessalyn - Underground - In the hands of the Devil</b><br/><br/>Jess didn't even bother to speak to the men. They made her uncomfortable, especially the way they kept looking at her stomach. When they finally reached the underground she was led down many hallways and into some kind of dungeon. In one of the cells she saw...<br/>""Lynn!"" she cried and pulled out of the men's grip and ran to her friend. ""Lynn!"" she reached thorough the bars to her. When she got a good look at her, she gasped.<br/>""What have you done to her?!"" she demanded, facing Tyler. ""How could you?! You hurt her you bastard!""<br/><br/><b>Lynn - Underground Cell - Jess</b><br/><br/>A voice reached her through the exhaustion. Lynn had been put into the arena again while Tyler had been gone, survived and then had been attacked and nearly raped by some of his bastard lackies. Fortunately her threatening to bite off anything they tried to put in her had them changing their minds.<br/><br/>Lynn chuckled and coughed a little. ""Here to finish what your guy tried to start Tyler?"" she asked. ""I never thought you'd give them leave to rape me, but I guess I should have expected it.""<br/><br/>Then she heard another voice.<br/>No...<br/>""God no,"" she groaned and looked. ""Jess... oh fuck..."" she said and closed her eyes.<br/>It was all over. The evil bastard had won."

All this talk about Lauren, her feelings, etc. weren't really important to Floyd. Couldn't she just understand that he needed to find this<i>girl</i>. Right now, he needed to talk with Lauren so she could escort him to the girl Katie was talking about earlier. If by any chance she was who Floyd wanted her to be, he'd liberate her from this place. All he wanted to was know if she was still alive, it was a thought that had been running through his head since he got captured. The essence of not knowing was worse than anything. From time to time Floyd would imagine scenarios in his head of what could have happened to her, the things she had to endure because he failed. Anything that happened to her, if she was captured and in these catacombs, if she was sexually abused, if she was killed............all that was on him at this point.<br/><br/>Lost in thought, Floyd snapped when they reached the mess hall. ""Why the hell are we here girl? I told ya I needed to find Lauren"" he said, being forced to sit by a little seven year old kid. The redneck's forearms lay on the table, waiting for the little girl to say something that would make sense. As she turned back to him, she was carrying a sandwich. It wasn't perfectly made, but it still looked tempting. Floyd attempted to resist her aid, he wasn't one to allow others to help. In all, he felt as though he was better off by himself, there was no need for<i>friends</i>. In the end, he still believed there weren't good people in this world, nor the old one. But right now, at the sight of food, his stomach started to growl vigorously. Slowly, he reached forth for the sandwich and started to chow down on it quickly. ""Girl......*much*...I don't have....*much munch*....time for this"" he spoke, mouth full of food at times. Within seconds, he finished the sandwich to the crumbs. The peanut butter was just mouthwatering, the grape jelly added desire for more, and the crust, well, it sufficed. Licking his fingers, Floyd stood from where he sat. ""Alright, now let's get to Lauren, I've got sumthin to ask her.""<hr/><b>Robert - Back in Haywood - Rob/Guards</b><br/><br/>""Alright everyone, gear up quick, were heading out in twenty. Josh, make sure the armory is completely empty, we want everything loaded onto the trucks, we don't know how much we'll need. Randy, Randy!.......Ask Mr. Howard if we can borrow his truck, we don't want to overcrowd each other in our trucks, that'll be dangerous. Also, get Mrs. Lucy to give you the medical supplies necessary, she was in the medical field back in her prime, she's sure to know something about it"" the man instructed, the guards dispersing around him like ants. Every guard was getting ready for what was going down. The first plan to eliminate Tyler was a complete failure, it put the girl and her child at risk. Since they didn't have much time to conjure something up at the time, it was sure to fail, as it eventually did. Hopefully this next plan wouldn't fail. They were going to raid Tyler's catacombs head on. Robert knew the consequences of this strategy, but so did everyone in Haywood.<br/><br/>The townspeople were told everything that had been going on since Haywood began. They were told of Bruce Levi's schemes, how he traded off women for supplies. They were told of Eli's death and how he fought for the people rather than himself. They were told of the pregnant girl and how she was also traded off, but with remorse. The people were filled in on everything, there would no longer be any secrets between guards and townspeople.<br/><br/>To escape from the ruckus of preparing and to become mentally ready, Robert entered the van, closing the door behind himself. It was now quiet and tranquil in there. He sat alone, one hand covering his face as the other lay on the sidearm. His eyes were closed as he started to take long breaths. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he punched the glove compartment, his knuckles feeling the burn. All he thought about was losing the girl to that monster. He promised her safety, yet she was now locked underground, surviving not only for herself, but for the unborn child within her. It was time to start a war.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

What could he have possibly meant by- Emma's heart dropped as she saw two men - Raiders - approach the doors. She sat up from the corner of the cell and set her eyes in a cold stare. One of them grinned impishly through the bars. He had long, blond hair that poked at his shoulders. ""Hey there sweetheart."" As Emma pushed herself back against the corner with her boots, smiled again. ""No, don't worry... We ain't gonna hurt a pretty little thing like you."" He opened the cell with a ring of keys and entered while his buddy stood guard. ""Just - uh - wanna get to know ya better."" He came uncomfortably close to Emma and dropped into a crouch.<br/><br/>""G-get away from me..."" Emma stammered, her shaky voice surprising her. The man dropped his hand down to touch her arm, and he caressed her arm slowly. Emma couldn't help the fugitive tear that coursed her cheek as he touched her. <br/><br/>""Now, now, darling; No need to cry."" He gripped her chin with his fingers and came close to hers. ""My name is Hex... maybe I can put a spell on you?"" He said quietly and pulled her face to his and kissed her lips. Emma pulled back forcibly, knocking her head against the wall painfully. She violently spit between sobs, trying to get the wretched taste out of her mouth. He tasted horrible and Emma thought she would rather eat molding bread than taste that again. ""Oh, c'mon now... Wasn't that bad, was it?"" Emma lifted her head and tried to yell for help, but he quickly put a large hand over her mouth. Tears continued to stream from Emma's eyes, and Hex slowly put a hand under her soccer jersey and gripped her stomach. Emma screamed into his hand and slid herself from his hands. Hex held onto her jeans, pulling the waistband a few inches from her waist. Emma tightened her legs, and before he could do anything, the other raider whispered to his friend. ""Someone's coming hex!"" Hex's eyes widened momentarily. He gave here one last kiss that lasted a few seconds bolting out and leaving the cell door open. <br/><br/>Emma lay on the ground, sobbing violently. She prayed to God that it was Bex and not Tyler. The old man seemed to show sympathy for her, and sympathy was better that the feeling hex would've given her. She lay, sobbing uncontrollably with her jeans undone and her shirt pulled to the top of her stomach, waiting for the man to come.

She was horrorstruck, and that thought alone made his insides warm. ""Brad, get that girl to another cell,"" he said, waving off his second-in-command. ""Somewhere deeper, where she can't hear us."" He looked toward Brad and waited expectantly. With a sour look, Brad opened Emma's cell and grabbed her roughly. ""Fuckin' brat,"" he mumbled as he practically dragged her away.<br/><br/>Tyler waited patiently for Brad to leave. He then put a hand on Jessalyn's shoulder. ""I'm glad I could reunite you two."" He stepped forward and laid his other hand on the cell door. ""But Lynn, what did you go and tell your friend? She thinks I'm a monster for some reason."" He gripped a bar tightly. ""You think I'm a monster, Lynn?""<hr/><b>Bex - Cells - Emma (After Tyler's conversation with Lynn)</b><br/><br/>After Tyler had departed from the cells, Bex had been curious about where he moved Emma. He entered the cells cautiously, not wanting to draw anyone's attention. He needed to see the girl one more time. He needed to tell her again that he was sorry. The guilt had been eating away at him for months, and now it was destroying him. He felt like his insides were ripping out. He didn't want to be a raider anymore, but what was the alternative? Tyler never let anyone leave, and if they did, he hunted them down relentlessly.<br/><br/>Soon, as Bex approached the deepest part of the cells, faint sobbing could be heard. Bex was drawn toward it. He passed by Hex (who had a name far too alike his for Bex's liking), who was sweating profusely and in a hurry to leave. The man gave Bex a glare before pushing past him. Jake followed soon after, his head down and avoiding eye contact. With the sobbing still echoing in his ear, Bex feared the worst. He rushed into the next rows of cells and scanned each one for signs of the young girl.<br/><br/>""Emma.""<br/><br/>He found her, locked up in a cell even dirtier than her first one. Bex fell into a crouch beside her. He shakily began untying the girl's hands without a second thought. Now was not the time for protocol. ""I'm sorry,"" he said when Emma was finally untied. ""This shouldn't have happened. Tyler wouldn't-"" Bex swore to himself. ""Hex will hang for this.""<hr/><b>Shannon - Building by Train Tracks - Daniel &amp; Amelia</b><br/><br/>Mercifully, it had been a dreamless sleep. Shannon was finally coming to, having been out for a few hours. The dull feeling in her arm slowly inched closer toward pain and Shannon moaned quietly to herself as she regained consciousness. The world was just a blur of grey, but soon shapes began to right themselves. Shannon attempted to blink away the blurry film over her eyes.<br/><br/>""Hey...""<br/><br/>She tried to sit up, but in her confusion leaned on her hurt arm. Shannon cried out and her head fell back to the floor. ""H-Hey!"" She was fully awake now and her eyesight had cleared. She could see she was back in the building where she had shot at Daniel's sister accidentally. A wooden desk loomed over her, just at the edge of her sight.<br/><br/>""I need... Someone...!""<hr/><b>The Bull - Katie &amp; Floyd</b><br/><br/>""Lauren?"" The big man sat next to Floyd. He put a large hairy forearm over Floyd's shoulder, as if they were good friends. ""You haven't found her yet?"" He looked to Katie, who was sitting across from them. ""Your old man would be pretty steamed if he saw you makin' sandwiches."" The man grinned and began tapping on the table with his meaty fingers. ""I'd rather not have my girl get in trouble, so I'll get you to her lickety split. You should come with, Floyd."" Bull released Floyd from his grip and got up from the table. He turned and saluted Katie dramatically. ""Follow the captain now, you hear?""<br/><br/>Bull attempted to march the whole way, for Katie's sake. He never held a particular fondness for the girl, or any child in particular really; Lauren liked Katie a lot and it had started to rub off on Bull. Besides, the man enjoyed goofing off and it felt more appropriate being a big goof around children than it did around anyone else.<br/><br/>By the time they reached Lauren pacing outside of Katie's room, The Bull was panting from his marching efforts. His face was red and puffy, the man barely able to form words. ""Oh, thank<i>god</i>,"" Lauren said at the sight of them. ""I thought you might have gotten lost, Katie, or..."" She looked Floyd in the eyes, her expression giving the vaguest hint of mistrust. ""... I'm sorry for not being around to see you earlier."""

""H-h-help me, bex..."" She managed to say through sobs. ""Help- help me e-escape..."" She dared to say it now. It was obvious that something had given Bex a change of heart. When Bex finished untying her, she shakily pulled down her shirt to cover her stomach, and re-fastened her jeans, then proceeded to pull herself in as tightly as she could into a ball.

From there; he'd tied up the raider and Daniel had carried Shannon inside. The raider spilled with a little bit of convincing. Tyler; indeed had sent him to the mall. Tyler, indeed, was holding a young girl with red hair in the cells along with other women. There was a group that Tyler had been giving supplies to in exchange for women. Daniel filled in the rest and offered her a dose of painkillers."

He shoved the man's hairy arm away, escaping the contact. He slid off the side of the table, taking a stand and brushing himself off. ""Don't touch me"" he murmured to himself. He watched the man as he began his solo conversation with the child, it seemed like they were on good terms the two.<br/><br/>As the giant golem played nanny and joked willingly, Floyd's temper started rising uncontrollably. He couldn't comprehend how they were joking at a time like this, in a world like this. There were no longer fun and games around these parts, nowhere for that matter. One little small joke and one could die without even knowing. In addition to that, these people were basically slave owners, living in the south during the civil war. That, or they were mere pirates, raping women, stealing gold, and getting drunk.<br/><br/>Therefore, watching the giant salute and march jokingly was disgusting. He wasn't anything close to being a soldier, he was the exact opposite, there was no honor in what this man was. But anyhow, Floyd continued to follow the marching duo, walking down the wretched catacombs heading towards the brats quarters. As they approached it, Lauren became visible from a distance. ""<i>Oh thank god</i>,"" the woman exclaimed, her worried face relevant to the situation. She had been in charge of taking care of the child, something she obviously failed at doing. Then, her eyes caught Floyd's. The redneck just stared at her with his squinting eyes, making no sort of facial expression, just staring in blank. But unlike Floyd's face, her's showed enough emotion for Floyd to comprehend. She obviously didn't like him due to what he had said to her in the cell, or maybe it was just because he was different, who knew. But Floyd didn't really care what she thought of him, he didn't care what anybody thought of him.<br/><br/>It was time to get to business anyway, so Floyd busted forward through the Kate and Bull and confronted Lauren. He stood inches from her, staring her down for a couple of seconds before speaking.<br/><br/>""I need ya to take me to those girls y'all keep captive round here"" he demanded, it was not a debate. Suddenly his concentration was shattered by the tugging of his new jacket's sleeve. He turned to his left to find a seven year old brat pulling his shoulder up and down. ""What the hell do ya want kid?"" he whispered to her, at the same time turning to Lauren with a raised brow. ""<i>After you talk to Lauren, will you play with me?</i>Katie asked. In response, Floyd placed his hand on her little round head and spoke. ""Yeah, yeah, whatever ya say kid.""<br/><br/>""Now I ain't askin again, where them girls?"" he quickly returned from the distraction. He didn't care if her boyfriend stood about three to four feet taller than him, Floyd had fought bigger men. He hoped to god<i>she</i>was there."

He even waited patiently while Jessalyn futilely pounded on his chest. He eventually grabbed her wrists and gently laid them at her sides. ""Those women serve a greater purpose,"" he said, turning to Lynn. His grin was gone now, his face now a mask of utter seriousness. ""You're naive, Lynn. You do good in the arena, otherwise I wouldn't send you in. My boys need entertainment.""<br/><br/>Brad returned now and stood off to the side. He looked about ready to lunge at Jessalyn for attacking Tyler. The boss waved him off. ""Check on Bull, will you? He had some things I wanted him to do."" After a moment's hesitation, Brad nodded and left.<br/><br/>Tyler put a hand on Jessalyn's shoulder now in an attempt to calm her down. ""You're going to live to see my dream come alive, Lynn. Then you'll understand that I was right and you were wrong."" Tyler started leading Jessalyn away, pulling her away if he had to. ""Come, I have to show you something."" They left Lynn alone.<br/><br/>Their walk was a silent one. Tyler was leading Jessalyn away from the cells to what most considered a different kind of prison. Tyler nodded toward the one raider on guard and entered the woman's quarters. Inside was a large room that could have been called impressive, considering the rest of the hideout. It was almost on par to Katie's room, sporting well-maintained furniture from the surface. The pair was greeted with the smell of apple-scented candles and a pair of women sitting at the large table in the middle of the room. They were eating, but turned toward Tyler as soon as he entered. The look on their faces was genuine relief.<br/><br/>""You're back,"" said the one woman, a tall brunette named Sarah. She got out of her seat and walked over to Tyler, smiling. Sarah was about a month pregnant, indicated by her belly bump. ""What's her name?"" she asked, referring to Jessalyn.<br/><br/>""Jessalyn. But she goes by Jess, I believe."" Tyler put a hand to Jessalyn's back.<br/><br/>The other woman, a slightly chubby brunette named Amber, got out of her seat as well. ""Can I feel your stomach?"" she asked in wonder. Other women started to pour into the room now, their bedrooms connected by a single corridor. The younger ones were the ones largely from Haywood. Unlike the other women, they didn't look Tyler directly in the eyes. They shuffled into the room, their eyes on their feet. The less shy ones began to crowd around Tyler and Jessalyn, some asking into Tyler's well-being, but most asking Jessalyn questions about herself. ""What's your name?"" ""Where did you come from?"" ""I guess you don't know the baby's gender, do you?""<hr/><b>Lauren - Catacombs - Floyd &amp; Lynn</b><br/><br/>She stared at Floyd, hesitant to respond. She watched Bull's goofy grin fade as he fixed a stare at Floyd's back. ""You ain't allowed to see them,"" Bull said adamantly. ""You're new, and the boss won't like it one bit."" The air now was suddenly tense. Lauren didn't want her boyfriend to give into his baser instincts in front of Katie.<br/><br/>""Bull, stay out of it. I got this.""<br/><br/>His face fell, looking almost like Katie when she was disappointed, albeit hairier. ""Okay, whatever you say.""<br/><br/>Lauren turned back to Floyd. He probably expected her to argue, but she had desired this outcome. There was a shift occurring amongst the raiders. They all could see it, even the dumb ones. They were acting up more and more. Lauren knew Harley was stealing supplies, and she knew a few of the others were undermining Tyler every chance they could get. It was all going to come crashing down soon enough, and a large part of Lauren wanted it to happen.<br/><br/>""I'll let you see the cells,"" she said. She looked toward Bull, her face telling him to not follow. The big man frowned and looked down at Katie, realizing he was going to have to watch her now.<br/><br/>""Where you were kept, that's mostly for men,"" Lauren explained along the way. ""The women are kept closer to the entrance, at least until Tyler moves them."" As they entered the cells, Lauren stared at Emma's empty cell. She didn't think the girl would be moved so soon. ""... There's only one girl here at the moment."" Lauren gestured toward the only occupied cell: Lynn's.<hr/><b>Bex - Deeper Cells - Emma</b><br/><br/>Bex looked away to give Emma some dignity. His hands gripped at his knees, realizing he was in over his head. Once, when he was a man named Beckett, he had believed his little girl would one day grow up into a teenager like Emma. Then, he would watch as she grew into an adult, full of life and love. No matter who that little girl would have become, Beckett knew he would have been proud.<br/><br/>But Beckett and Beckett's life was gone now. Here Bex sat, beside a terrified girl who he could do nothing for.<br/><br/>Bex shook his head. ""I can't do that,"" he said, his hand rubbing at his eyes. ""Tyler will catch you, and then he will kill me. So, I can't do that."" He looked at her now, his eyes on hers. ""I can have those men punished, but that's all I can do."""

He'd heard her whispering the name in her unconscious daze. For a moment, he was mad. Danny is what his mother used to call him, and it'd been about four years since such had happened. ""No... You're not a screw-up; just stupidly courageous. That round would've most likely put Amy down if you hadn't intercepted it.""<br/><br/>""To her, you're a hero.""<br/><br/><b> Emma Crowe - The Cells </b><br/><br/>Emma had drifted to sleep, and by the time she'd woke, Bex was gone, the cell was locked, and her hands were once again bound. She'd quit crying before she fell asleep, but she stilled cringed several times when the picture of Hex crept into her mind. With the image, the feeling of his dirty hands on her stomach and his lips on hers came back and made the tears beg to return. They did not however, as she reminded herself that she did, in fact, have a friend in this hell. Bex helped her and he would see Hex punished for his actions.<br/><br/>Even still, the man had done her another favor, though maybe not intentionally; he'd tied her hands in front of her this time, and this time she was not restricted as harshly as before, nor were her restraints as tight. Emma sat alone in the cell, quietly shivering in the cold. After a moment, she began to quietly sing a song. She couldn't remember the name of the song, but it'd come from a musical... Les-something... She couldn't remember the name of the musical either, but she did remember the words...<br/><br/><i>Look down, look down! Don't look him in the eyes!<br/>How long, O Lord, before you let me die?<br/>Look down, Look down; You'll always be a slave!<br/>Look down! Look down! You're standing in your grave</i><br/><br/>Emma laughed at herself; the song described her perfectly. The girl wished that God would simply strike her down where she sat. She was a prisoner just like the men in the story... and better yet; she couldn't make herself look Tyler in the eyes... Emma breathed sharply through her nose; an ironic laugh. She'd tried to sing to cheer herself up, but instead, she'd just stated her case... She was standing in her grave."

He kept a distance between them, symbolizing Floyd's trust towards the woman. Even though she stated she'd take him to the cells, Floyd didn't fully believe her yet, he still felt uneasy alongside his captors. The redneck was silent, not even his breathes could be heard. It felt as though they were going deeper into the catacombs, though it was all in the same level. The stench wasn't as bad there as in the men's cells, but it did have its comparisons. One could feel the lack of oxygen around these cells. Lauren even explained how the women's cells were not connected with the men's.<br/><br/>The woman also mentioned something Floyd believed she shouldn't have. She said that the women were later moved from their cells by Tyler. The question was, where? Floyd didn't ask though, trying to play off the fact he heard her. At this point, Floyd wouldn't know if Jess was taken to this<i>place</i>. If she wasn't, then there wasn't anything else Floyd could do at this point. She was gone, just..........gone.<br/><br/>As they made it closer to the cells, they passed a couple empty cells. It was obvious somebody had been kept there though because of the conditions of those cell. Finally, Lauren announced that they were reaching the only occupied cell. Floyd stopped before reaching it, hesitating to see who lay inside it. For a fraction of a second, he wished it wasn't Jess. Not because he didn't want to find her, he obviously did, but because he didn't want to see her in such conditions. He failed to save her back then, he failed to save her child, he failed Lynn, he failed everyone he'd ever met, deceiving them of hope. So as he lay inches from seeing who lay inside, Floyd just couldn't commit. He felt a downpour of doubt sweep over his body. He wanted her to be there, but at the same time despised the thought of her imprisonment. What if she was there? What then? He couldn't fight all these pirates on his own, it just wouldn't be possible. Therefore, if she<i>was</i>there, he would have failed anyhow.<br/><br/>With a step, he turned to the front of the cell. His eyes were staring at the ground for a second before looking back up. When they did turn neutral, they became startled by the sight. He lay motionless as his pupils became dilated and shivered by what seemed an illusion. What were the odds that this woman lay within the containment of that cell. He frowned, pissed that it wasn't Jess, but grateful at the same time. ""Lynn?"" he called to her, trying to get her to face him."

They would have problems if Shannon's arm got infected. Amelia took the bags down to the truck and Daniel picked up Shannon and carried her down too, as he didn't think that she was fit to move on her own. She'd lost a lot of blood and was still in a daze. They selected east, towards the suburbs of the city, and Daniel drove off.<br/><br/>Daniel contemplated the past day. Could they attack Tyler head-on? But as Daniel thought, his thoughts were cut off as he stopped in the middle of the road. Large gates blocked the road, atop of which stood two armed guards. Slowly, he motioned for Amy to get out. He gripped the rifle he'd taken from one of the raiders in the mall, and stepped to the ground.<br/><br/>""Halt!"" The guards commanded. Daniel did not ready his weapon at the guards, but he kept ready in case of retaliation. ""Don't move, or we'll fire!"""

At least she would be treated well. While she was pregnant that is. Once she gave birth the special treatment was over.<br/><br/>She was left in silence, which was what she preferred. But unfortunately it didn't last long. The next thing she knew someone was talking to her. She opened her eyes to see the redneck she'd left Jess with.<br/>Her laugh had no humor in it. ""Well look who's come to join the party. I'm guessing you've joined these asswipes since you're not locked up. Did you bring Jess here? Is that how Tyler got his dirty hands on her? Now she's locked up in that bastard's harem.""<br/><br/>A small voice made her groan and close her eyes in denial.

""Miss Lynn, why are you locked up? Why are you hurt? Daddy said you went away!""<br/><br/>""I did,"" Lynn said, touching the little girl's hand reassuringly. ""But I came back.

She didn't want either of them touching her for any longer then necessary.<br/><br/>""I don't know how long I have. A doctor said I was about 5 months, but he..."" she looked down. ""He didn't make it. Walkers got him.""<br/><br/>""You won't have to worry about that here,"" one of the pregnant women assured her with a smile, then frowned as she looked at Jess' neck. ""What happened to you dear? You have brusies on your neck.""<br/><br/>Jessalyn's hand went to her throat, shaking at the memory of what had happened. ""My baby's father... he tried to kill me.""<br/><br/>The women all gasped and made sounds of sympathy.

Since the the others already started mobilizing, they guards were on high alert. They were instructed by Robert Dalton, new leader of Haywood, to prevent any entry to their community until the raid was complete and all the forces had returned home. The Haywood trucks were almost completely loaded and prepared to move, but now it all changed because of this unexpected visit.<br/><br/>One of the three guards headed inside in a sprint, running to find Robert himself. Robert at the time was finishing up loading the van he was going to be driving. ""Robert Sir!"" the guard called out. Robert turned to face the guard and asked what was going on. ""There is a truck outside our gates, it isn't one of our trucks sir"" the guard informed Robert, having him hurry to the gates of Haywood.<br/><br/>In the meantime, the two guards who were pointing their weapons at Daniel's truck ordered the man to roll down his window.

He wanted to tell her that, but with Lauren to his side, it would have been a problem. She then started on about Jess, again accusing Floyd of doing wrong. She stated that he'd brought Jess here, giving her to these raiders. Floyd was about to attack, but was interrupted by the next accusation.<br/><br/><i>""Is that how Tyler got his dirty hands on her?

The redneck then pushed Lauren to the cells. ""Open it!"" he yelled at her, his growl louder than before. He still held on to her, didn't want her trying anything stupid. This was what her feared, having Jess down here with this maniac. This entire time he though she was either just gone or dead, he hoped she had been here, but again, didn't want her to be.<br/><br/>As Lauren remained before Floyd, the man continued. ""Where does Tyler keep em?! Huh?! Where dammit?!"" he snarled, his grip getting tighter as his wrathful state continued. ""Answer me!"" At this point his mind was set on finding this girl, nothing else. He forgot about Lynn, about the little girl and about his own life. He might even have to kill Lauren in order to keep her quite.

His days were spent in and out of the arena.<br/><br/>After a few moments of watching, Tyler said. ""It's barbaric."" He gestured to the other gated doors, where the raiders stood cheering.

He wondered if this was an attack or distraction set up by Tyler himself. He feared that Tyler knew Haywood was planning to betray them back there. If he did, this might be the first step to taking down Haywood.<br/><br/>""Apprehend him!"" Robert instructed one of his guards. The guard rushed towards the old man pointing his weapon at him. ""On your knees"" he told the old man, ending up behind him, patting him down for any weaponry. ""He's clear!"" the guard called back to Robert. Robert returned his attention to Daniel before speaking. ""You say you've got an injured party member in there?"" he questioned again, making sure his response would be the same. But then something altered his trance of thought. The one that seemed to be the leader of their group spoke out about the raiders, meaning Tyler's group. ""Whatcha know about the raider?""

""She's been shot, its not a bite"" the guard called out to Robert. ""Take the truck inside, you two just stay were you are"" he told Daniel and Amy, still pointing his weapon at them as they took the truck into Haywood. The truck growled loudly before starting off, the guards reassuring Shannon that they would get her some medical attention. ""Calm down, they're just gonna take your friend to our infirmary. They'll do what they can."" Robert turned to the old man and the guard who pointed his weapon at him. After about thirty seconds of pure silence, Robert lowered his shotgun and started for Daniel and Amy. He nodded at his soldiers and had them back away from everyone. One of the guards helped the old man stand up. ""You're alright now sir, just this way"" the guard told the old man as he started to direct him into the Haywood community.<br/><br/>Once Robert stood before Daniel, he stretched out his hand to shake the tall man's. Robert stood just below six feet, so there was some height difference. But Robert's height didn't mean anything, he was complimented by his size, he was very muscular. ""Welcome to Haywood"" he nodded gently. ""Now, what exactly do you know of the raiders?"" he quickly said, turning the tables and the entire conversation.<hr/><b>Floyd - Catacombs - Lauren/Katie/Lynn</b><br/><br/>As the raider spoke, his hands seemed to get even tighter. He felt his blood rush right through his veins to the tip of his fingertips. Ironically her skin was tender and smooth, not what one would expect from a raider. As he had her pinned against the wall, he could see the fear in her eyes. This was not Floyd losing himself, this was just pure desperation. He was now facing the woman he had made a promise to, a promise he failed to keep. He had told her he'd keep Jess safe, he'd keep her out of danger, but now he lays in the hands of a monster. A monster that hides his true identity from his own child. A monster that does not seem to understand that his own goal is unaccomplished.<br/><br/>As Katie tugged on his sleeve, he turned to her, his grip still firm on Lauren's arms. Everything Lauren had said went in one ear out the other. He wasn't worried about his own life, he'd never been worried about it. Even before the virus spread Floyd didn't have much to live for. He hated nearly everything he came in contact with, nothing made his day worthwhile. The hunt was all he really looked forward to. How can someone live off the death of innocent animals? It was a gruesome lifestyle he lived and yet this life continued for him even after the apocalypse, but now he had a purpose. He found something that kept him going, something that made his days worthwhile. He may not always show compassion for it, but its there, there is no denying it. He made a promise and he was planning to keep it, no matter what.<br/><br/>But when he saw the kids face, he couldn't help but see Jess' disappointment in her little blue eyes. He starred for a while, Lynn's voice echoing in the background. Suddenly, Floyd let go of Lauren and dropped, sitting down, his back against the wall as he starred at the ground. Nobody could see his face, only his hair drooping over his entire soul. Then a small drop of water crashed against the catacombs dirt floor. Then another, and another until it was interrupted by Floyd's own forearm. ""I...she was just gone. I ain't know where she went, she was just gone..."" he started, following that up with a silence. He then turned up, the water no more, just his red eyes. He looked at Lauren, then at Lynn, at Katie, then back to the ground. He punched it with fierce strength, scrapping his knuckles at impact. ""What am I suppose to do?"" he whispered at them. His question was interrupted by another one.<br/><br/><i>""You're not going to hurt my daddy... right...?""</i><br/><br/>""........no......."""

I know that the raiders take women for stock, and I know that they've kidnapped my little sister and that she will be raped or murdered if someone doesn't put an end to it.""<br/><br/>Daniel slowly rose to his feet, staring straight down the barrel of the gun. ""Listen, my friend. I can tell you have a dispute with the raiders too."" Daniel removed his hands from his head, ever so slowly, and used one finger to pulled his axe from it's strap, and letting the weapon drop to the ground.

All Tyler did was cause pain and suffering; The proof was right here, in the eyes of the individuals before her.<br/><br/>Lauren dropped to her knees before Katie and put her hands on the little girl's shoulders. ""Katie, no one's going to hurt anyone. We just need to get a few things straightened out. Make everyone happy, you know?"" She looked up toward Lynn. ""We can't let Lynn out right now, but it's just a misunderstanding. We'll get her out as soon as possible."" Her words were for Katie, but Lauren was giving Lynn a silent promise.

""As per usual.""<br/><br/>""Harley was caught stealing supplies. Bull's locked him up and your kid's the one who caught him."" A raucous cheer from the arena interrupted him. Berk had won. Brad patiently continued when they died down. ""And Hex was trying to rape the new girl. He wasn't able to go through with it, though.""<br/><br/>Tyler's hands balled into fists. There was incompetency at every corner. Every day, his careful society crumbled, like a slap in the face. ""As you can see, Jess, despite all of my efforts, these men continue to act out of bounds.

The man quickly moved to the alley window, one of three windows in the apartment. This window gave view to the alley and onto the streets adjacent to both sides, the one facing east gave view to the street directly outside it.<br/><br/>Abram peeked out of the window to examine the line of rope that held up his improvised alarm system; a series of cans and spoons that clanged whenever moved. A single biter had straggled into the line and now observed its surroundings with irritation. The man didn't bother to open the window and put an end to the creature; instead he simply slid the black blinds closed and returned to his business. ""God bless you're hell bound soul, my friend."" He muttered quietly. He laughed quietly to himself; God must be taking a nap...<br/><br/>The man scratched his beard absently, but then stopped to examine himself in a wall mirror. He was still as fit as ever; maybe he'd lost a few pounds, but at 6'2 and 200, he didn't worry about becoming scrawny. He was, however, aging. His dark beard had been come slightly peppered and no longer bore strong emphasis to his dark face, but it wasn't close enough for him to be thought an old man. He slid a hand under his shirt and lifted the hem a little bit. ""Yikes..."" His formerly defined abs were not at all what they used to be, albeit sixty days in hell could do a lot to one's physique.<br/><br/>Presently, Abram dropped the hem of his shirt to his waist band and proceeded to the north-facing window. This was his most prized besides his setup on the roof, where his tripod rested. This room was the only room on the uppermost floor of the building, and he'd pushed every piece of furniture except the bed to block the stairs. Nothing was coming up and nobody was going down. The only access to the building lay on the roof; a single ladder that somehow managed to reached the top.<br/><br/>Abram pulled the window blinds apart and looked outside. His eyes set hard on one place; the catacombs. Said place was the residence of terrible men who were to low to be called demons. These men held women for breeding stock; he'd watched them bring countless women and girls through the front gates. Only a few days ago; about three or four, they'd hauled in a woman and a young girl. Upon taking a glance at the teenage girl through his scope, he saw that she couldn't be a day over fifteen. He'd also noticed that her face reminded him of someone, but he couldn't remember who."

With a distant laugh, Robert spoke up himself. ""A fellow brother in arms then. Robert Dalton, First Company Sergeant"" the man declared. He took Daniel by the arm and shook it with respect. Men who served in the armed forces were relatively connected in some odd way. People who haven't served would not understand, but those who have can relate to what Robert was feeling.<br/><br/>In addition to them both having military backgrounds, Daniel reminded Robert of his actual younger brother. Robert had lost his little brother when he was visited by him during the war with Afghanistan. Robert was in the infirmary during that time, he had broken three of his fingers during a futile attempt to overtake a certain terrorist group. Anyhow, during his time in the infirmary, his brother arrived to keep him company. During that time, the infirmary was being infiltrated by a small unit of terrorist. To cut to the chase, his brother was killed along with many other good men and doctors. Robert and a few of his brothers were abducted and tortured for days at end. A squad of U.S. soldiers luckily got there in time to save them. Robert had to attend rehab for about six months to get over that insanity he attained from solitary containment.<br/><br/>""We've got our squad mobilizing right now Daniel. We were thinking of attacking them head on, maybe our forces will outmatch theirs. But now that you say you know a way around them, then lets do it your way. Everything is ready, weapons, ammunition, everything. I hate to say it, you're a stranger and all, but I suppose I'll have you lead us"" he told Daniel, turning to the gates. ""Roll out! Let's get going!"" Robert yelled, waving his hand to announce to the drivers to start exiting the community. As the vehicles roared in the background, Robert returned his attention to Daniel. ""Your friend, ummm.......Shay was it? Anyhow, she'll be safe in the city. We've got a decent medical group working on her as we speak, don't worry. ""C'mon, we head out now. I know it's overwhelming, I know its sudden, but we've decided to do this now"" he started, opening the slide door to the black van. ""I'm sorry to hear about your sister and I know all you wanna do is save her, but I need you to focus on my men. These are<i>my</i>men, but they'll be under your command. If anything happens to them, its on you. I'm trusting you to put thirty lives over one. I know its hard to do, but you were in the military, you know what your priorities are. Let's go, get in"" Robert finished, entering the van with Daniel and Amy, shutting the door behind them. He then handed them their weapons, the ones taken from their truck. ""You'll need them.""<br/><br/>""You with them?"" a guard called out to Enrique. The guard was in the bed of the truck with two more armed men. If Enrique answered<i>yes</i>then the guards would allow him to enter the bed and go with them to raid the raiders. If he answered<i>no</i>, then there would be a problem. In the meantime, the old man was allowed into the community. The guard that helped him inside was leading him to Haywood's infirmary. ""I'm taking you to our little medical center. The medics aren't all that educated in their field, but together they can heal most of us. I mean, nobody has really died from any illness or anything. One of your friends was taken in here too, the girl with the bullet wound. How did that happen anyway? Was it the raiders?"" the random guard asked the old man.<br/><br/>The van and the following trucks then rushed through the streets, heading to the catacombs at dashing speeds. The sun was shinning brightly in the faces of the drivers as the burst through the wind. The hiss of the engines called the walkers hiding in the grasslands. From time to time one could see their small decomposed heads pop out of the bushes, their hands reaching for the trucks. Robert just stared out of the window, his elbow laying on the armrest as his hand covered his mouth. He was lost in thought that man, worried for what was about to happen. He felt they were rushing this, but this little leverage they had, this second entrance was not something they could pass on. After a timely travel, the group was about a mile out from the catacombs. All the trucks stopped as the van instructed them to. Robert turned to Daniel and Amy before speaking and opening the slide door. ""We walk from here. You will lead most of these men through the entrance you spoke of. I will attack from the front, catching their attention while y'all flank them."" The men started to get into two groups, two thirds of them turning to Daniel for instruction, the rest following Robert. Robert started to walk down the road, but before fading from Daniel's sight, he turned to him. ""Kill that son of a bitch for me!""<hr/><b>Floyd - Catacombs - Katie/Lauren/Lynn</b><br/><br/>Lynn's words were getting to Floyd, the redneck just stood up as she started to call him out. Though she hated to agree with her, she was right. He couldn't let something so stupid get to him, there were more important things to worry about. But regardless her being right, regardless her helping him escape that pitiful trance, Floyd wasn't going to let her shit go unnoticed. ""Shut up bitch"" he told Lynn off, trying to return to his regular self. He had finally shown them a small portion of weakness, how even<i>he</i>could fall.<br/><br/>But once he returned, he<i>returned</i>. That same arrogance and winning personality sprang up from his deep soul. His thoughts regained consciousness, which helped him understand what the people around him were saying. He listened to Lauren and could actually make sense of what she was taking about. Maybe if they could find the other girl, they'd have a clue where Jess was taken. Or maybe that wasn't even Lauren's plan. Still, Floyd did not trust the raider, regardless her statement that she wanted nothing to do with them. ""Let's go"" Floyd said, starting down the hallway in the way Lynn pointed. He turned to Lauren in the process, ""What do ya wanna do bout the brat?"" he asked her. There was no way he was bringing her along, no way. ""And what exactly is ya game plan? We can't just stand here and wait for sum shit to happen, we've gotta do sumthin. She's sumwhere in here and I gotta find her. I gotta at least see her, just to make sure she's alright."""

He’d picked Audrey for a specific reason, and pulled her aside to explain to her.<br/><br/>“Audrey… these men keep women locked up for pleasure…at all times, I’d like you to keep yourself hidden from view of the raiders. The reason being that, with your permission I’d like to use you as a decoy.”<br/><br/>“Wait, wait, wait- What!” Audrey sputtered.<br/><br/>“Look, you meet the criteria; you’re young and pretty, and I’ll bet that the raiders would hesitate if I pretended to threaten your life.” He set his eyes hard on the girl for a minute. “That would only be an absolute, last minute resort. Tell me if you can’t do it.”<br/><br/>“I… I can do it…” Audrey nodded and returned to the group. Daniel triumphantly returned as well, leading the group away from the trucks. It took a total of five and a half minutes to get through the streets and find the store that the raider had told him the secret entrance was to. They’d broken in after another two minutes of lock picking, and slowly checked the dim corridor.<br/><br/>Daniel held his AR-15 leveled forward and began to proceed into the den of the raiders."

KATELYN!""<br/><br/>Tyler yelled Katie's name to no avail; The girl was gone. He fixed a glare on Lynn before hurrying deeper into the cells. He would deal with these men, then figure what to do about his daughter. He couldn't leave their cancerous behaviour to infect the other men. He turned a corner and ran into Lauren and Floyd, the woman taking a step back at the monstrous look on his face. He knew they weren't supposed to be here, especially the new guy, but Tyler's anger got the best of him. It took everything in him not to grab Lauren by the shoulders. ""You need to find Katie and lock her in her room,"" he said, his voice managing some level of calm. It was the eye of the storm. ""Then you will get your boyfriend and as many men as you can and seal up whatever holes she has been using to sneak out of her room. I will<i>not</i>have this insubordination go on any longer."" When Lauren didn't immediately leave, Tyler raised a fist. ""That's an ORDER, Lauren."" She gave Floyd a small look before quickly leaving.<br/><br/>The boss turned on Floyd. ""The fuck are you doing here, anyway? Get out of my sight."" Tyler looked in at Emma and shook his head.

She had to find the girl and calm her down, for her own sake. ""Katie, I'm sorry,"" she said, walking down the hallway. She spotted a part of the air vents that Katie so often used. Lauren realized she would never fit herself.<br/><br/>With a great sigh, Lauren managed to lift her head as close to the vents as possible. ""Katie? Katie, it's me, Lauren. I want to help you, okay?""<hr/><b>Bex - Catacombs - The Raid Party</b><br/><br/>Bex had been in the Dining Hall for most of the evening, wallowing in his guilt. He'd managed to tell Brad about what Hex had did, but that's all he could manage to do. What happened now was out of his hands, no matter how awful it made him feel.<br/><br/>A few of the men had convinced him to hang out in drink. Al had been keeping a stash of alcohol for some time. It wasn't against the rules, but most of the men tended to drink their rations immediately. Not Al, it seemed. They were in a deeper part of the catacombs, laughing and shooting the shit. It was easy for Bex to fall in with these men. Beckett may have hated these men, but for Bex, these men were now his companions and he needed them to survive. Besides, a couple of drinks helped dull the guilt.<br/><br/>""Holy fucking SHIT, Hex is one thick motherfucker!"" exclaimed Gregory. His face was red and he was laughing hysterically. ""Everybody wants a taste but you don't actually go THROUGH with it!""<br/><br/>""The forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden,"" Bex murmured.<br/><br/>That made Gregory laugh. ""Yeah, like that! Stupid idiot.""<br/><br/>The raucous group of five men were completely unaware of the danger approaching on them."

He motioned them move to certain locations, remaining undercover so that the raiders wouldn't see them yet. The front entrance would probably be the most guarded location and the deadliest. Robert's main focus was the survival of his crew, of his brothers. He didn't want to lose them like he did those good men back in Afghan. ""All of you hold position until told otherwise. Do not fire unless I give the call"" he whispered to the men as they all began to crouch into certain cover.<br/><br/>They were all armed and ready, safeties certainly off. During their time in Haywood, both Bruce and Eli put Robert in charge of training all the men over eighteen to shoot a gun. He was also in charge of teaching them certain survival tactics that would most definitely keep them alive. It would seem that Bruce, though he was insane, knew what he was doing and predicted this fight to someday come to life. People always wondered why Robert hadn't been in charge in the first place because of his military standing. The reason for it was that Robert hadn't always been sane one could say. After losing his unit and his brother, he went a little haywire, lost his humanity. He regained it once the virus spread, giving him hope again to really survive, trying to help and make a difference. If it wasn't for Bruce finding him in the woods, then he would have never made it this far. Guess the man had some good in him, though it wasn't all that visible.<br/><br/>But back to the present. As the militia were in position, they scouted out the entire area. They could see raiders roaming about the entrance yard, some around their parking lot, others walking in and out of the catacombs. Before giving the signal, Robert turned and faced all of his men, one by one. Each of them nodded with agreement that it was time to strike. So with Robert himself nodding, the unit revealed their weapons out of cover and began blasting. They weren't aimless, they were well trained. As the bullets blasted, raiders fell one by one. The ones not shot had taken cover, evading the bullets temporarily. And of course, they started to fire back at them. The sound of the lead clashing with the concrete echoed through the woods, giving signal to Daniel's group that it was time to strike.<br/><br/>""Continue firing, take them down!"" Robert called out. ""If y'all wanna live, if y'all wanna survive, you've gotta fight for it! I'm talkin bout fightin! Right here! Right now!"" The war had begun."

Robert trained them well, that was for certain. Each hallway brought the same maneuver; Daniel dropped to one knee; Henry, the sharpshooter, kept stand with his rifle pointed forward; and finally, Amelia would whisper, ""Cleared."" The group moved with precision, and precision is what Daniel wanted. He had one suspicion though; Where was everyone? Had Robert's diversion been effective enough to draw every Raider to the gates?<br/><br/>Daniel must have jinxed himself; as the second they rounded the next corner, they came face to face with three men. The loud bang of Henry's rifle sounded and the leftmost man fell dead. Daniel and Amy quickly tapped their triggers, sending several rounds into both men; dead. As they passed the bodies, Daniel stopped and fired three shots, one into each man's head. They couldn't afford to kill their enemies twice. ""Combat Position, all eyes forward. The shots were heard somewhere, trust me."" The squad moved forward, and two halls down, Daniel's theory was proven right. This hallway was a long line of cells. It was so long, Daniel could barely see the end. Near one of the cells, four armed raiders were walking their way. With startled eyes Daniel slid to the ground and lay prone, firing shots quickly into the first raider. Three shouts whizzed past Daniel and he heard a cry from his group. In moments, everyone had jumped into a cell. Henry and Amy were with him. ""In three, two, one."" Amy dove to the floor, Daniel fell crouched, and Henry stood level. All three of them fired at a different raider. The last three fell heavy to the ground.<br/><br/>The silence hung in the air for a moment, when a shout came from one of the far cells. ""Hey! What's going on?"" Immediately Daniel registered the voice.<i>Emma.</i>Daniel sprang to his feet, much to the objection of Amy. Right before he could reach the cell, a raider came around the corner. The man skidded to a halt, but then charged Daniel, swinging a knife toward him. He was to close for Daniel to shoot him, so he dropped his gun and ripped his axe from it's strap. Adrenaline kicked in, and Daniel felt alive as he clashed with the man. First, he caught the knife hand by the wrist, swiveled 180 degrees, and then used the man's momentum to throw him the ground. The man jumped to his feet, taking a jab towards Daniel's liver. Barely missing the attack, Daniel turned his torso to doge and quickly gave a furious kick to knock the knife away. With one swing of his tomohawk, Daniel had put a large gash in the man's skull. Breathing hard, he watched as his team came toward him. His eyes turned to a cell a few yards away as he heard the voice of his sister. ""Daniel...""<br/><br/>""Oh, my God."" He heard Audrey murmured. ""You move like Robert."" Daniel payed no attention to these words and gave Audrey no recognition, as he hurried to Emma's cell. He saw the that bars were very rusted and somewhat corroded. Daniel reared back and put all his weight in his leg as he forcefully kicked the rusted lock as hard as he could. With a loud pang, the lock broke with another kick. Instantly, he had Emma in his arms, and she wound hers around his waist.<br/><br/>""Look at me; we're gonna get out of here-""<br/><br/>""Daniel, we've got to hurry!"" Amelia said urgently.<br/><br/>""I can't walk."" Emma protested as Daniel pulled her along. Daniel turned to one of the men in his team. ""James, I need you to help her; take her back to the hatch and get her to the trucks."" James came forward, said a few words to Emma, who nodded.<br/><br/>""We'll get through this, and then I'll be back with you."" Daniel said to Emma, who nodded hastily. He clapped James on the shoulder and stepped out of the cell, giving way. James carefully pick Emma up and hurried off towards the hidden entrance. Daniel turned back to face his team, his hope renewed. ""Lets go!"""

Brad nodded incessantly, licking his lips. Tyler glanced toward Floyd. ""You, secure the armory. Other men should be there.""<br/><br/>Tyler let go of Brad.

No matter the outcome of today, Lauren knew she wouldn't get another opportunity like this.<br/><br/>She just had to find Katie.<br/><br/>""Katie! Katie, something's happened!

For if they knew the real him, they would most certainly have hated him.<br/><br/>He had found Tyler soon after everything started.

If he had the choice to help the teen locked in the cell, he would have, but he didn't. Right now, everything seemed to be going down faster than his mind could actually comprehend. The entire facility started to shake from what seemed an explosion as he ran passed Katie's room. The sound of firing bullets became louder as he reached the dinning hall. Floyd stood still as about three raiders passed him up. They were in a rush towards the entrance, armed and ready, some cursing, others shaking from the fear. Once it was clear, Floyd continued down the halls, also passing up the washroom and stopping suddenly near a blood stained wall.<br/><br/>It had been the wall where he first encountered Katie and broke a raider's nose. But right now was where it really begun. Floyd was in search of the armory, therefore he had to do a little recon, tracing Katie's steps as he ran from the raider thief. Floyd crouched and stared at the ground, searching for footprints. Sine the ground was basically dirt, it was easier to catch certain sized feet. He noticed the small little prints right beneath him and started to follow them. As he continued, it was harder to spot the footprints, but as he turned the corner to another hallway, he found what he was looking for. Floyd burst through the sheets that covered a certain room, the room that held the raider's armory. The armory was quite empty though, it would seem the raiders got to it before Floyd had the chance to. Therefore he was in search of whatever was left. He found a decently sized knife that would come in handy. Then he found a magazine, but no pistol. He took it anyway and put it inside his cargo pant's pocket. All the guns and bigger weaponry was completely wiped out. Without any other choices to make, he rushed out the door slamming onto a certain raider.<br/><br/>He fell back a few steps as he noticed who stood before him. He looked into the giant's eyes, rage building up inside him. His brow tightened and became red as pulled the knife from his side. He held it in his right hand and was prepared to strike. It was the golem Bull who was standing before him. It was a coincidence that it so unfortunately had to be him. With a lunge forward, he ran passed Bull. In that little confrontation it would seem that Floyd was about to attack Bull, but at the last second, he decided to evade him. Floyd didn't have time to waste, he had to get priorities straight, even though he had survival in his mind at all times.<br/><br/>He started down a hallway he hadn't seen before, it was lighter than the rest. Soldiers ran passed him once again in the opposite direction. The ground above him started to crumble on his shoulders, the dirt particles dirtying up his jacket. But right before turning onto another hallway, he could have sworn to see a mirage. He plastered his feet to the ground, sliding on its surface a few inches. He blinked and the image was gone, but he could swear it was real. He saw the outline of a woman, but not just any woman, a pregnant woman. ""No...."" he whispered to himself as he had two choices before him. If he continued down the hallway he planned to go down, he would soon find a way out. If he turned to where the mirage came from, then he had a fifty-fifty chance of finding Jess. But as these thoughts swindled through his mind, time was being wasted.

There was no way she was going to let Tyler's lapdog kill her before she took a chunk out of Tyler.<br/>Because she didn't have much time left.<br/><br/>""You really need to let go of me boy,"" she said with a scary grin. ""I don't want to hurt you, but I will if you force me to. My fight is with Tyler, not you. And if you don't like being called homo you really shouldn't have such hatred for women and follow Tyler around like a puppy. Do you even know what the other guys say behind your back?""<br/><br/>She taunted him with this, trying to direct his anger at something other than her.<br/>""They say that you hate me because Tyler was fucking me and not you. They say you want to kill Tyler's kid because your jealous of the love and attention he gives her. They talk about you Brad... talk about how much you want Tyler... you know what they call you? We both have similar nicknames. They call me 'Tyler's whore', you are 'Tyler's bitch'. And Tyler knows about it. He thinks it's fucking funny. He laughs about it.""<br/><br/>Okay so maybe that part was not quite true, but the other stuff was.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/><b>Jessalyn - Hallways/Harem</b><br/><br/>Jess managed to get herself lost. She came very close to swearing. She did find a piece of bent pipe to use as a weapon in case she needed it.<br/>She had gone down one hallway, realized it was wrong and was doubling back when she heard it.<br/><br/>Snarls...<br/><br/>The sound made her freeze.<br/>The walkers... The cells must have been damaged in the explosion...<br/>The walkers had gotten loose...<br/><br/>Jess saw a shadow and gasped. It came towards her and she raised the pipe, ready to strike at whatever it was.<br/><br/>A raider came around the corner. ""Shit what are you doing out here?!""<br/><br/>""The walkers got loose!"" she answered, trying to distract him from the fact that she wasn't locked up anymore.<br/><br/>It worked.<br/>""Son of a-!"" he started, and looked around, listening. Shirll screams came from a short distance away.<br/><br/>""The girls!"" Jess exclaimed and started to run, only to be stopped by the raider.<br/><br/>""Where the hell do you think you're going?""<br/><br/>""I have to get to them!"" Jess exclaimed. ""Those girls, some of them are pregnant! They don't stand a chance!""<br/><br/>""Fuck those bitches!"" he snapped. ""You're the furthest along and that makes you more valuable. You're coming with me to Tyler.""<br/><br/>""No!"" Jess shouted and swung at him with the pipe. It caught him right above the eye. The man let go of her to grab his head. Jess took off.<br/><br/>She reached the harem, but it was too late.<br/>Some of the girls had taken the opportunity to run. Hopefully they had made it to the Haywood men. But the ones who had refused to leave...<br/>Jess closed her eyes and turned away, leaning against the doorframe and trying not to vomit. Their bodies had been torn apart by walkers.<br/><br/>A snarl told her she wasn't alone in the room. She whirled around in time to see two walkers dragging themselves towards her. Thankfully they weren't very fast, one having lost a leg and the other having no legs at all.<br/>Jess climbed up on top of one of the dressers, out of the creatures' reach, and when they tried to climb up after her she hit them with the pipe to knock them back down.<br/><br/>""Help!"" she called out, hoping someone with a gun would hear her."

They all staggered for a moment, but were instantly awaken by the sound of gunfire. It came fast; one, two three, the three haywood soldiers in the back fell dead; and the rest of them fell into the rooms to the side. Daniel peeked out quickly, to examine his group. He swore to himself; but then look to his left, inside the room. Audrey lay on the ground, clutching desperately at her arm. ""Audrey!""<br/><br/>""It's just a graze!"" She responded. Daniel momentarily peeked out and counted five bodies on the ground; all of them haywood, he then look across the hall to the other room, where Henry stood against the frame, covering himself. Beside him, Amy heaved in an out. Good; she was alive. Beside her, stood Enrique, whom Daniel gave a small nod. Daniel craned his head out of the door frame into the corridor to look at the attackers. There were three, and all three fired as soon as they saw his head. Fortunately, all of them missed. Daniel quickly set his gun to semi-automatic, and dropped to his knee, sliding his backpack from his shoulders. He'd done this once, and it'd broken his gun... he hoped he'd be more fortunate this time. He pulled a roll of duct tape from the pack, before pulling the trigger and firing a shot from his rifle once, but keep his finger on the trigger. He ripped of a strip of tape and carefully wound it around the trigger.<br/><br/>""Ya comin' out, buddy?!"" One of them shouted. Daniel secured the trigger in hold, and counted to three. On three, Daniel slid the safety to fully-automatic, and dropped it into the hallway. The force of the bullets and the lack of stabilization on the rifle would cause the barrel to spray the hallway with bullets, and that's what Daniel hoped it would do. Shouts of pain came from the men. Daniel grabbed his side arm and jumped out into the hallway, firing his whole clip into the men. Once they were dead, Daniel picked up his gun, fixed it, and retrieved his pack.<br/><br/>He stopped and regarded the bodies for a moment. ""They were good men."" Daniel motioned for the group to move forward, and they follow him; right into a pack of a dozen walkers."

She spun around and began running as fast as she could while carrying Katie.<br/><br/>She found Bull running down a corridor opposite of hers. She called out to him, managing to grab his attention. He hesitated slightly before running to meet her in the middle of the hallway. ""I saw Floyd,"" he said, barely paying Katie any attention. He looked a bit shell-shocked to Lauren. ""In the armory. He was acting suspicious, and I-""<br/><br/>""Bull,"" Lauren said, attempting to interrupt him.<br/><br/>He carried on regardless. ""I thought he was going to attack me, but-""<br/><br/>""Bull!"" Lauren repeated, louder this time. Bull finally stopped and stared at her. ""We have to go,"" she said, moving around him.<br/><br/>Bull scoffed. ""Go? Go where? We have to get in on the action, Lauren.""<br/><br/>""No, Bull, we don't."" She turned on him, a glare settling on her face. ""We have to get Katie out of here."" She didn't bother to mention that it was largely to get Katie away from her father. ""We'll sneak out the back. Whoever's attacking probably knew about that entrance, but there's no way we're getting out the front.""<br/><br/>Bull stared at her. She watched as his hands balled into fists. He didn't like the idea, she could see. Unlike her, he was loyal to that awful man. Worse than that, Bull enjoyed a good fight; Violence excited him more than she would have liked. Still, despite fitting in with the other men so well, Lauren knew he was different. She hadn't attached herself to this man just because he was the biggest or the strongest. His demeanour was almost childlike occasionally, and Lauren knew that deep down he had a<i>heart</i>. Something Tyler had lost long ago.<br/><br/>That's why Lauren knew that Bull would nod quietly to her and agree to her plan, even if his face showed disappointment. ""We'll get you somewhere safe,"" he said to Katie. Then they ran.<hr/><b>Brad - Cells - Lynn</b><br/><br/>Brad screamed as Lynn continued to humiliate him. Every word was like a kick in the teeth. He knew she was right. Right about everything. The men had never said anything to his face, but Brad knew. He knew because he<i>knew</i>people. No matter what hell would descend on Earth, the people that walked it would always be the same. They would always judge him and scorn him. Brad had never fit into this world, but he had been able to<i>pretend</i>he fit in, at least for a little while.<br/><br/>But Lynn was lying as well. She said she didn't want to hurt him, but Brad knew that was not the truth. It was him against the world, after all. This toxic bitch hurt him with every breath she took of her miserable life. ""You're wrong about him! You're fucking wrong!""<br/><br/>Brad thought he had the upper hand, but Lynn was not backing down on him. He couldn't get his hands on her throat, to shut up her incessant talking. ""Godammit!"" he yelled, throwing himself off of her and running to grab his fallen machete."

He eventually heard an explosion and some gunfire. Enrique made his way towards the explosion and covered some ground before turning a corner, he saw two men walking towards him one held a small assault rifle the other a shotgun. Enrique raised his pistol and squeezed the trigger twice hitting the first man twice in the chest, he fell back onto his friend with the shotgun. The man that had been shot managed to get a shot off and the bullet tore through Enriques left pant leg breaking skin. The man with the shotgun raised it under the arm of the first man and pulled the trigger, the majority of the shots landed to Enrique's right but he felt fire in his right bicep and shoulder. He took a moment to look down at his arm he saw blood and three entry points, Enrique raised his pistol as high up as he could he felt pain in his upper arm and squezed the trigger until the gun clicked empty. He saw the bullets hit their make some hitting the already dead man, the man with the shotgun fell with the first mans body on top of his. Enrique grimaced in pain and slunk against the wall, he looked at his arm and noticed more entry points than before he counted five. He moved over to the dead men and pulled out the assault rifle from the mans grip with his left hand. The man had a folding knife clipped to his belt and Enrique grabbed it, he cut around the mans shoulder and cut the sleeve of his shirt off, Enrique tugged at the bottom of the sleeve pulling it off the limp arm. He bit onto the top of the sleeve then ran the knife down the sleeve cutting it in half. He spent about 10 minutes fastening his arm into a sling, afterwards he attempted to reload his pistol and managed to do so after some time. He slid his pistol into the back of the seam of his pants and picked up the assault rifle, he looked it over and recognized it as an AEK-97, he set it against the wall and checked the man for spare ammo Enrique only found one extra magazine. He stuffed it into his backpocket and picked up the rifle setting it into his right hand.<br/><br/>""Onward and upward,"" Enrique said in a strained voice, he moved in the direction of the explosion and heard rapid footsteps, he ducked down and saw a tall blondheaded figure run past him. Enrique let out a breathe and began carefully following the man, Enrique heard groans and strange footsteps. He knew these sounds well enough as walkers, Enrique picked up the pase and followed the man down to what appeared to be a prison. The man pulled a pistol and began approaching the door to it, Enrique heard voices inside andaimed his rifle at the mans back. He pulled the trigger and fired two shots into the mans back, the man raised his hands above his head trying to reach the wound the man twisted as his knees buckled then another shot rang out. With a shout Enrique to fell to the ground a searing pain in his right shin. He squezed the trigger for 4 seconds tracing his aim up the mans chest into his head, after a few seconds of heavy breathing Enrique looked at the man. His chest had multiple wounds and his neck bled purfusely, there was a gaping hole starting from the right side of the mans jaw continuing just under the eye and the top right of his head.<br/><br/>Enrique made an effort to stand but failed, he used the rifle as a levvy and made his way towards the door, he pushed the man aside and reached for the handle putting the majority of his weight on the door, he clutched the handle and the door swung open. Enrique leaned just outside of the door his rifle propped on the ground in one hand."

The thumping sound the guy caused once he collapsed made the crawlers seize chasing after Jess. Instead, they dragged themselves towards the front door of that particular room. Not only did the thump sound call for them, but so did the loud clanks of metal against metal. It was as though somebody was calling for them.<br/><br/>As the crawlers left the room, all one could hear from inside was the grunt of a man followed by the squashing of the crawler's brains. Chunks flew passed the doorframe and into the room. The man's shadow grew in size as he started to enter the room. From inside it would seem as though he were a murderer, it was always the case. But once the man crossed the frame, his long dirty blonde hair made him quite distinguishable. His beard hung from his chin, soaked from his own sweat. His coat completely stained by the descending dust. He still held the knife in his right hand, but his eyes weren't in search of blood. His blue eyes starred directly into the woman's, a look of relief upon his face. ""Jess?....."" Floyd called out in a faint tone.<br/><br/>But that look lasted a mere second as suddenly, the walkers that attached the harem started for Floyd. Floyd didn't hesitate to act though, instead he rushed into the battle, his blade reaching for the walker flesh. Once in reach, Floyd used his forearm to push one of the walkers towards the back wall. Once he had it trapped, he jammed his blade through the walker's brow and into its brain. As he turned to face the ither, he noticed it was making its way towards Jess. Floyd sprinted towards it, clinger into whatever clothing the beast had left and swung it to the ground. Without wasting anymore tome, he stomped on its face repeatedly until he grew tired.<br/><br/>With the fight completed, he held onto his knees as he tried to breathe normally. Catching ones breath underneath the ground was tougher than one would imagine. In that position, he turned his head towards Jess. ""Let's get outta here."""

The girl's large belly collided with Floyd's lower abs, pressing hard against them. Her arms wrapped his shoulders tight, his back flexing from the following squeeze. His own arms just dangled to his sides, he didn't want to touch her and make her feel uncomfortable. But it was ironic because it didn't seem she felt that way, especially when she kissed his cheek. All his dampness was now over her tender lips, adding a touch of condemnation to her purification. Floyd felt so close yet so far for some reason. He tried not to look into her eyes, but couldn't help but peak at them. He didn't remember her appearance, didn't realize how...........<br/><br/>Anyhow, as she spoke, Floyd took everything in, he owed her at least that. But when she mentioned being attacked by a certain man, Floyd noticed the marks on her neck. When she brushed his hair off his face, he forced his own hand to lift up her chin. He didn't care if she felt uncomfortable, he just had to see the marks more clearly. Once he let her be, his face turned to the ground. ""I'm sorry"" he whispered as he backed away slightly. ""I couldn't stop them from takin you"" he added, finally making eye contact with her. His eyes were red, not from tears or irritation, but from anger and rage. He was furious that he hadn't been able to protect her like her promised. Floyd lived by a code, a very particular code that her should never crack. It is difficult to explain so he never talks about it.<br/><br/>At the moment it wasn't time to continue thinking of what could have been because there wasn't time for that. When a large cloud of dust fell on his shoulders and moans started to arise from his left, Floyd knew it was time to snap out of it. As Jess asked about Lynn, Floyd knew there was only one way to answer her question. ""I promised her I'd keep ya safe, so that's what I'm bout to do"" he said in his whispering tone as he took hold of her wrist. With a tug, he started to pull her along, away from the cells that Lynn had been held captive in. He could feel restraint from Jess, but wasn't about to turn around with his decision.

He used his free hand to block the sun's rays that personally targeted him. As he adjusted to the new luminescence, his feet began to move faster and faster. He felt Jess' weight being dragged about forcefully, but wasn't about to stop and jeopardize their escape. When they barely got out of that underground cavern, from a distance Floyd could see men shooting at each other. He could see a blaze of bullets bombarding human flesh. Not only was this new world conflict regarding man vs. walker, it still had that literary conflict of man vs. man. The bloodshed was a worthless feud between conflicting sides. If only people could understand that there were no good men in the world, then they would never even cross paths in the first place.<br/><br/>But as the sound of raining shells diminished, Floyd figured they were getting farther and farther from the catacombs. He turned to see Jess wiping her tears, tears of sadness and sorrow. Floyd turned before she stopped, making sure she didn't think she was worrying him - which she was. It seemed like an eternal jog that escape, running through the puzzling woods, ending up nowhere. Every crack their footsteps made echoed through the entire swamps, alerting nearby bait and predators. They had jogged for about a mile or two, quite the time consuming bolt.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Floyd's grip gave up, letting go of Jess as his knees started to stumble. His speed descended slowly as he came to a halt and spun to fall on his back. He collided with the greenish-yellowish grass beneath him, leaves falling from trees above him. His eyes were closed as he felt a pain on his side, the pain one feels from running too damn much. Once the pain faded along with his difficulty to breathe, he turned to see if Jess was feeling alright. For a pregnant woman, she was capable of keeping up just fine it seemed. Hopefully the child was alright though, that was what mattered the most. ""You alright girl?"" he said in that whispering tone of his as he sat himself up.<br/><br/>He looked in the direction of the firefight, trying to determine how far they got, but couldn't. All he had been thinking about was getting her out of there as quickly as possible, not focusing on direction or anything other than that. He looked to every direction as he stood, still all he had was that knife he managed to steal from the raider's armory, surely not the best weapon. In that instant, Jess' pleads to save Lynn popped up in his head. His blood began to boil, but with a slow exhale, he was able to control himself. Before speaking once again, he stood up. ""We have to continue, c'mon"" he nodded sideways, starting down the unsystematic path they had been traveling. The sun's rays continued to lay upon Floyd's shoulders, causing the redneck to remove his leather jacket and sweat even more than he already was. At this point, Floyd was paying more attention to where they were headed, marking trees and making sure they didn't go in circles. He turned back occasionally to make sure Jess was keeping up, but didn't turn for anything else.<br/><br/>Finally reaching a small swamp, Floyd stopped. ""We camp out here for the night"" he said aloud, throwing his jacket towards a nearby tree. He crouched down and damped his hands into the dirty water, using it to wash off impurities that covered his arms. The water wasn't drinkable, it was most likely toxic or something along those lines. Then he sat down just where he was crouching and stared into the lake, not even turning to Jess anymore. He just remained still, thinking about what their next step would be. With the swamp appearing, it mean there was most likely a bigger water source nearby, one that may be drinkable. He'd later have to build a fire and stuff, but right now he just wanted to rest a bit."

Jess kept up as best as she could, forcing a smile when Floyd looked over his shoulder at her.<br/><br/>The swamp was less then appealing, but Floyd seemed to know what to do so she didn't argue. She followed his lead of washing up a little. She was really thirsty by then, but wasn't about to drink the swamp water. She wasn't that desperate yet.<br/>""Do you think there might be some... er, cleaner water around?"" she asked, not wanting to seem like she was complaining. ""I just don't think we should drink this water.""<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/><b>Lynn - Catacombs - Tyler</b><br/><br/>""You still don't get it,"" Lynn said, shaking her head. ""You never will. You will never understand anything beyond your own selfishness.""<br/><br/>He called her weak, said she was going to die alone. She only smiled. He knew where to hit, but so did she.<br/>""At least you don't have to worry about Katie. She's young enough that she will probably forget this whole thing. Lauren and Bull will become her new parents. She'll forget all about her douchebag father. She's going to forget all about you Tyler. She'll be happy with her new father. Wonder how long it'll take her to call him daddy, for him to hold her in his lap and make her feel loved?""<br/><br/>She knew she was pushing beyond the limit, but she was dying so why should she give a fuck.<br/>""You've lost your empire and your daughter. Which one upsets you more? That you're a failure or that you'll never see your kid again? That another man is going to raise her?""<br/><br/>She suddenly lunged towards him, mouth open, snarling as her teeth prepared to sink into his flesh.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/><b>Katie - Woods - Lauren, Bull</b><br/><br/>Katie held on tightly to Lauren until she felt a rush of air. She lifted her head, her eyes wide in shock and awe.<br/><br/>They were... outside...<br/>She felt the fresh air on her face, saw the sky. The little girl had longed for the outside for so long. The grass, the dirt, the trees, the sky... the blue sky...<br/><br/>""Lauren?"" she whispered, as though she was afraid talking too loud would break a spell. ""We're... outside...?""<br/><br/>The sounds of fighting could still be heard as they left the city behind, heading into the woods until the sounds faded and all around them was quiet.<br/>Katie wiggled to get Lauren to put her down. Once she was on her feet the child looked around in a daze at this world that she had been denied for so long.<br/><br/>She swallowed hard, then looked back towards the city.<br/>""Will... will my daddy come?"" she asked, partly hopeful and partly afraid. The last time she had seen him he'd been so angry. Did she really want to see him again?<br/>""Lauren?"" she asked, looking up at the woman with tears shining in her eyes. ""Does he not... not love me anymore?"""

To think he actually cared about this woman once, but she was nothing now. It was heartbreaking to see her so sure in her delusions. ""I will die before she calls another man daddy,"" he said, suddenly deciding to stand his ground. He was the last man standing now, and he wasn't going to let this empty shell of a woman walk all over him. ""And I'm not dying any time soon.""<br/><br/>He stood and waited for her to approach. He had no weapon, but he had killed without a weapon many times before. Her words cut like knives, but he kept himself from recklessly lunging at her by remembering that no matter what,<i>he</i>was right. He would live and she would die. He would get his daughter back.<br/><br/>""Fuck y-"" He was cut off by Lynn's sudden lunge. He threw his forearms forward to push her back, managing to get them under her jaw. He grabbed at her lower jaw with his left hand and pushed at her with his right, but he found himself stumbling backwards. Her strength surprised him, but why would a dying woman hold anything back? Grunting, Tyler kept her jaw firmly locked at arm's length, but he managed to stumble over one of the dead men on the ground. He yelled out and fell backwards on to his back, Lynn snarling on top of him.<br/><br/>""This is the Lynn I remember,"" he said through gritted teeth. Lynn snarled and snapped in his face, loosening his tenuous grasp on her jaw. Her eyes had turned a milky yellow and her skin a sickly grey.<br/><br/>The change was complete. Lynn was now one of the undead.<br/><br/>With his ribs beginning to stab with pain from Lynn thrashing on top of him, Tyler realized he was running out of time. With Lynn now turned, he wasn't sure he had the strength to shove her off. ""Fuck! FUCK!"" This was<i>not</i>how it would end. Not without Katie; He<i>needed</i>Katie. ""Katie!"" he cried out, having nothing else on his mind but her.<br/><br/>Then, Tyler felt the weight of Lynn begin to lift off of him. It happened so suddenly, that Tyler believed for a second that Katie was pulling Lynn off of him. ""Get off him, bitch!"" a gruff voice yelled. Lynn was pulled off Tyler entirely, and he could see that his savior was not Katie, but Brad. ""Look at you, more rotten than ever!"" the man screamed, wrestling with the zombified Lynn. She had turned on him now and Brad was battling with her for dominance. Before Tyler could even think to stand up and help, Brad was crying out in pain. He threw Lynn against a wall and proceeded to repeatedly smash her head against the wall. Over and over and over again. ""Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!"" Brad was hysterical, his eyes unblinking and his voice nothing more than strained sobs. After far too many hits to count, Brad let Lynn go, her head reduced to mere mush.<br/><br/>Tyler stood up, feeling nauseous.<br/><br/>Brad turned to him, his body shaking uncontrollably. ""I did it,"" he said, a grin appearing on his face. It was a maddening grin, Tyler thought. Brad looked like a child who had just done his chores. ""I did it for you, boss. I told you she was rotten. All of them. Now it's just... Just me and you...""<br/><br/>Tyler couldn't help but stare at the bite wound on Brad's upper right arm. Brad saw him staring and began to shake his head uncontrollably. ""No, no, no... No, we can cut it off. We can just cut it off, right at the shoulder. H-Here."" Brad bent down and picked up a machete. ""I-It's mine. I dropped it. Didn't want to accidentally hit you... Just chop it off, okay?"" He held it out, his face full of snot and blood. Tyler took the machete from him gingerly. ""R-Right, okay boss. Make it quick, if you can.""<br/><br/>Tyler turned over the weapon in his hand, staring at it. ""I'm sorry, Brad.""<br/><br/>Brad blinked at him confusedly. ""What? N-No, boss. I... Tyler. Boss. We'll just... I-I l-""<br/><br/>Tyler buried the machete in Brad's skull.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>He hurried down the corridor, finding more dead bodies than zombified ones. Most of them were his men. They were all dead, probably. Stupid bastards weren't prepared for this sort of assault. He supposed he should have blamed himself, for making them cocky. He wanted to be mad, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Most of them had been monsters. They were dead long before today.<br/><br/>He stopped at the entrance to the cells when he saw someone moving. Not dead, but possibly undead. Tyler walked toward the injured man and stood over him, his machete lingering over the man's head.<br/><br/>""Are you bitten?"" he asked.<hr/><b>Lauren - Woods - Katie</b><br/><br/>After putting Katie down, Lauren collapsed next to her. She managed enough strength to sit up on her knees and hold Katie by the shoulders. She started into the little girl's eyes and found that she had nothing to say. She wanted to tell Katie how awful her father had been. That he was an awful man who she was better off not seeing anymore. How was a little girl supposed to understand that? Lauren knew she would be breaking Katie's heart and she couldn't bring herself to do it.<br/><br/>Thankfully, her giant hairy lout of a man rescued her. He sat down next to them and placed a hand on Katie's shoulder, above Lauren's. ""I'm sorry, girl, but your daddy didn't make it."" Lauren turned toward Bull, but he kept his eyes on Katie. How had she not thought of that? It was a lie, but a lie somehow less ghastly than the truth.<br/><br/>""I'm so sorry,"" was all Lauren managed to say as she hugged Katie."

But every time he'd turn, she would give him a smile, obviously fake. Floyd didn't say anything though, he didn't want her to feel wrong for making him worry. Even though their situation was bad, Floyd was going to continue fighting to survive. He turned to his jacket when she asked about a water source. He bit the side of his lip as if questioning a decision. Then with a hurried stand, he started for it. He picked it up and opened up one of its pockets. Out of it, he pulled out one of those 8 fl.oz. water bottles. ""I took it when that kid showed me around the catacombs"" he said, tossing the water bottle towards Jess. ""It isn't much, but it'll have to do for now"" he added. He'd given her the water before regretting the decision of drinking it himself. He put her before himself because of that child living in her stomach. She needed more than him, more food, more water, more overall care.<br/><br/>He then started to collect some branches of wood that lay all over the ground. Bark and lumber were also useful to start a fire, so Floyd stripped that from the trees around them. Carrying all that nature, he started working on getting the fire started. He used some of the birch bark which was a very delicate fiber which would easily catch fire to begin the process. He removed his boots and started to carve out the leather from the toe of the boot. Underneath all the leather, there was steel. The steel toed boots would make it easy to create a spark when razed against his blade. With a thrust of his knife against the boot, a spark started, causing the birch fiber to light up a bit. He did it again, the light getting brighter. He moved the birch bark and placed it within the branches and lumber he had collected. Floyd then laid on the ground and started blowing softly into the fire, making it rise. Afterwards, the redneck sat across Jess as if building a fire was just a daily routine for him - which it actually was.<br/><br/>""Don't get rid of that bottle, I'll need it to get ya more water later"" he said, turning to the ground as he played with a small stick. He just sat there silently, the sound of wilderness echoing behind them. He felt back at home, though he didn't want to go back. In an odd way, this new life on the road was much better than what he had before. Though he's experienced many hardships, hardships a regular person should never experience, these hardships have made him feel really alive. He's been raised to survive, that's exactly what he's doing now. Though in this case, he's no longer fighting for his own survival, but for the girl and her child's. When that thought came to mind, he actually turned to look at her. Watching her over the flame made her shine; it was as though she was completely cleansed of everything. He wanted to turn away, but he'd never experience what he was experiencing at that moment. It was a new emotion, unnamed and not understood. His knee rose along with his arm. He placed his elbow on his knee and placed his knuckles on his lips, all while playing with that stick. It was peaceful, very quite and it felt nice being back home. ""I'll set up some traps later to catch us sum dinner"" he said, breaking away from that silence. Floyd didn't say much, he believed in that saying - actions speak louder than words."

""No!"" she screamed. ""Not my daddy, no!""<br/>She started to cry her eyes out, wracking sobs that shook her small body. ""Daddy! Daddy!""<br/>She barely felt the arms that wrapped around her, barely heard the words that were spoken. She wanted her daddy...<br/><br/>Her mommy had gone away. Her big brother had gone away. Why did her daddy leave her?<br/>""I want my daddy,"" she sobbed. ""Make him come back. I don't want him to go away like mommy. I want my daddy back. Bring him back,"" she begged.<br/><br/>It was a long time before she finally quieted down. Large tears still spilled down her cheeks, her eyes red and swollen, her lip trembling. Katie stared off into space, not speaking or making any kind of sound.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`<br/><br/><b>Jessalyn - Woods - Floyd</b><br/><br/>Jess took the bottle he offered gratefully, hurriedly drinking a large mouthful. She took about sip and savored it, letting it sit in her mouth for several minutes before swallowing.<br/>Then she handed him the bottle. ""Here. You need to drink to,"" she said, having left half of it for him. They would need to share everything from here on out.<br/><br/>She watched him make a fire almost out of thin air. He was so incredible to her. It seemed like he could do anything. He was unlike any man she had ever known before. Certainly different from Bruce.<br/><br/>The thought of her baby's father made her wince in pain. She stared into the fire, the light playing off of her hair and making her eyes seem to glow.<br/>""The leader of Haywood was the father of my child,"" she said, needing to talk about it. She hugged herself, looking small and fragile. ""When I told him about the baby being his, he tried to kill me. He said he wanted me dead, me and the bastard child inside of me,"" she said, her voice starting to break a little. It still hurt to think about it. This had been the first chance she'd had to sit and really reflect on what had happened to her in the last few days. The weight of everything started to weigh on her shoulders, making her feel emotionally drained and physically and mentally exhausted.<br/><br/>Tears swam in her eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall. ""Eli died trying to stop him,"" she continued. ""He tried to stop Bruce's madness. ""In the end... I think he was a good man. At least, he tried to be.""<br/><br/>She looked up at him, her eyes heavy with sleep. Getting up, she moved closer to him without asking if it was alright. She needed to be near someone, to have some kind of human contact with someone who wasn't trying to kill her or use her.<br/>Sitting beside him, she laid down so that her head was nearly touching his leg. Knowing that he was near made her feel safe enough to relax.<br/>""Don't leave me,"" she murmured as her eyes drooped closed."

They stayed with the girl as she wailed and cried, offering her a pair of shoulders to cry on. Lauren wanted to cry with her, but she managed to hold it in, Bull didn't need both of them breaking down on him. How could she have let herself get so deep into Tyler's group? When Lauren was at her worst, she had figured there had been no other choice but to fall into such a crowd, but was that really any way to live? That couldn't be it, it just couldn't.<br/><br/>Her heart went out to the other innocent victims back at the hideout. Hopefully most of them got away to safety.<br/><br/>Bull nudged her shoulder and nodded to the other side of the clearing. Lauren got up and followed him, keeping Katie within her sights. ""It took her a while to calm down,"" she said, her voice exhausted and strained.<br/><br/>Bull shook his head. ""It's hard losing a parent, especially at that age.""<br/><br/>""How do you know that?"" she asked, looking him in the eyes.<br/><br/>He shrugged. ""Lost my mum when I was little,"" he said. ""Don't remember her too well, but I do remember cryin' a ton. I remember weird little things, like how she smelled and shit.""<br/><br/>Lauren put a hand to his shoulder. ""I didn't know that."" She began absently tugging at his beard. Bull grimaced. That always tickled him.<br/><br/>""It's gonna be like that for her, too."" He looked sadly toward Katie. ""That is if we can keep the lie up.""<br/><br/>""It might not be a lie. We don't know if he-""<br/><br/>""We know."" Bull grabbed her hand gently and pulled it away from his beard. ""No way he's dead.""<br/><br/>Lauren wasn't sure how to respond to that. She sighed. ""You need a wash. We all do.""<br/><br/>With a deep breath, Bull looked around at their surroundings. ""I'll look for a place where we can camp out for the night. We'll figure out what do in the morning... Whatever you decide, Lauren."" Bull then walked away into the line of trees.

He hurried to the turn of the corridor, peeked out, fired a burst, and dodged a return fire. He jumped out again, firing his rifle and hitting someone; a loud ""Agh!"" coming from the hall. Emma's heart raced as she sat helplessly. She could shoot a pistol well enough, Daniel had made sure of that, but she didn't have one and she couldn't use an assault rifle like James could. Besides, she was barely conscious anyway. James swore loudly, accompanied by the moans of undead people.<br/><br/>It happened fast; James fired continuously at the walkers, but there were so many. It only took an instant for them to swarm him. Emma scrambled to her feet, painfully running. She lost grip in her step, and went tumbling, just in times to see james fall. To her horror, his gun pointed towards her and misfired as it hit the ground. The three round scattered through the air, the last one piercing through Emma's shirt, and then sinking into her lower back. Emma screamed in pain, which drew the attention of the walkers. The last thing she heard before slipping out of consciousness was the sound of automatic gunfire.<br/><br/>~ Outside the Catacombs, the Haywood Convoy ~<br/><br/>Emma woke with a shock, her chest heaving and and back screaming in pain. Her vision began spot, but she could make out her surroundings. She lay in the bed of a truck, the stars hung over her head. She tried to sit up, but a strong hand pushed her back down. ""No, no, don't try and sit up! You'll reopen the wound."" The voice came from her right, and the words were inlayed by a heavy Scotland accent. Suddenly, a looming figure stood over Emma, and she could make out the face of an older man with rough, red hair and a scraggly beard.<br/><br/>""Where- where am I?"" She asked through heavy breaths.<br/><br/>""You're safe, lass. Now I need you not to talk, you're breathing is already uneven as it is. My name is Riley O'Connor, and I'm going to take care of you."" The man disappeared for a second and then came back with a clear mask and blue pump. Emma did not retaliate when he placed the mask over her mouth and nose, slowly pumping the blue end. Emma found her lungs slowing down and her head quit pounding. It was then that she became aware of the situation. She felt a breeze run across her stomach; but why could she feel it against her skin? She looked down to see a tightly wrapped bandage covered her lower abdomen. Her warm soccer jersey was gone and her only covering on top was her grey t shirt, which was pulled past her belly-button so that her wound could be tended to.<br/><br/>""My- my brother..."" Emma stammered difficulty.<br/><br/>""You're brother is leading one of the attacks."" He slowly and threw a navy blue blanket over her, returning his hand to the pump. When O'Connor seemed satisfied that her breathing had regulated, he quit pumping, but left the mask around her head. She breathed through the ventilation on the mask as he carefully picked her up, and carried her to the truck's cab. ""You're going to be okay, now.""<br/><br/>The last thing Emma saw before falling into a deep sleep was O'Connor producing a walkie-talkie. ""Robert; Daniel Crowe's sister is alive and well. We're awaiting your return."""

He looked pretty bad off, and Tyler considered ending the man's life right there. However, something stopped him. Tyler found himself taking pity on the man, even if he had been an enemy. He was a warrior; Tyler would need warriors.<br/><br/>He leaned down next to the man. ""Here, I'll help you walk."" Tyler put the machete on the ground and scooped the bloody man into his arms. With a deep breath, Tyler pulled the man to his feet. He leaned on Tyler heavily, his blood staining Tyler's own clothes.<br/><br/>Tyler pushed as fast as the man would allow. He managed to say his name was Enrique, but his wounds didn't allow him to say much else. ""I'm Tom,"" Tyler said, leading Enrique down corridors he'd been down a thousand times before. ""Fuckers had me chained up down here. I fought in their arena a few times and somehow managed to live this long."" Tyler shook his head. ""What a mess.""<br/><br/>They reached their destination soon after: the women's quarters. Tyler couldn't very well leave without seeing what had become of his so-called legacy. They stepped inside, needing only to go as far as the doorway to see what had happened. Gore littered the walls. Blood, guts, and dead bodies painted the room. A few walkers were still inside, feeding on the lingering remains.<br/><br/>""Oh god,"" Tyler said, a lump forming in his throat. He felt tears sting at his eyes and his whole body began to shake. He had<i>cared</i>about these women, no matter what anyone believed. Some of them had even carried<i>his</i>children. They and the hope they had carried with them were reduced to nothing more than this grisly painting. ""Let's get out of here,"" Tyler said, his voice touched with sadness. Tyler turned his back on the room, though it felt like he was turning his back on everything he had ever fought for.<br/><br/>Tyler began bringing Enrique to the front entrance. Chances were likely they would have an easier time getting out from that direction, especially now that the fighting had began to simmer down. The sound of gunshots had become more erratic and Tyler figured that his men were probably all dead or captured by this point. Whatever fighting remained would be between Haywood and the released walkers.<br/><br/>As they rounded a corner, Tyler spotted a group of the said walkers at the end of the hall. He licked his dry lips. ""I'll have to put you down for now, buddy."" He would probably have to leave the man behind completely, but Tyler didn't think that would be a huge loss.<br/><br/>But as Tyler began to put Enrique down, shots rang out. Tyler awkwardly spun Enrique and himself around to spot the attacker. Tyler's eyes widened at who he was seeing. ""Bex?""<br/><br/>Bex lowered his rifle and peered curiously at Enrique. He opened his mouth to speak, but Tyler moved to interrupt him. ""Bex! It's me, Tom. We need to get this guy out of here before he bites it.""<br/><br/>Bex didn't respond immediately. Tyler's knuckles whitened as he gripped the machete. He hadn't known if Bex was one of the loyal ones. This one had always been a bit a tough nut to crack. He had pledged his life to Tyler months ago, but Tyler had always seen a glint of self-righteousness in Bex's eyes. He thought he hid it so well, but Tyler knew better.<br/><br/>""... Tom. I'm sorry, my head's completely rattled."" Bex stepped forward and put a shoulder under Enrique. ""Just hold on man, alright?""<br/><br/>Tyler nodded and started forward, his face a mask of grim determination."

She wanted to hand him the water bottle, share what he'd given her, but Floyd rejected it. He gave her the water because he cared about the child and about her. She obviously needed twice the care of a regular person, which was a problem at this point, but couldn't be neglected. Floyd was there and now he had to battle this burden, he had no other choice. Well, he had a choice, but he had already made one, one that meant he'd take care of this girl and her unborn child.<br/><br/>When she started sharing her experience at Haywood, Floyd's nerves became startled. He remembered their first encounter and her story about the child's father. How the man basically violated her for mere pleasure, then leaving her to die. From memory, Floyd remembered that Lynn was the one who took her after she was left in solitude, saving her life. The woman was a total bitch, but in the long-run she was the reason Jess was siting before him. She saved Jess and her child for who knows how long. Jess continued by telling Floyd of Eli's death, the man who kidnapped her in the first place. She added that he attempted to help her, stating him to be a good man. ""There aren't good men out there girl, get that through ya head"" Floyd told her in response to that. He said it calmly in order not to strike her as aggressive. He just didn't understand her way of thinking, it was strange and different in his eyes.<br/><br/>Suddenly, after her story telling came to a halt, Jess started to move towards Floyd. The redneck felt uneasy at her sudden approach, feeling nervous and hot. Every little lunge made his eyes widen little by little. He felt himself shake as she started to lay down, he could see everything in slow motion. Her hair fell down to the ground as her head slowly lowered onto his leg. Without any further ado, her head now lay next to his leg, if not on it. His leg felt hot, her tender swaying hair blowing slightly through the wind. He stared at the back of her head, the slowly stared her down completely.<i>""Don't leave me""</i>the girl said. That little comment made Floyd feel uneasy. He wished he could answer her, telling her he'd never leave, that they'd never get separated, that he'd always find her, but that wasn't the case. Floyd started to reach out to place his hand on her head, he desired the contact as well, the warmth. But as he became a finger away from her, he pulled away, not saying a word. He didn't tell her he wouldn't leave, he didn't tell her everything would be alright, he couldn't.<hr/><b>Robert - Outside the Catacombs</b><br/><br/>The firing had halted, everything seemed to have ended as the catacombs resumed their crumbling. Not a single Haywood casualty outside of the catacomb entrance, Robert made sure of that. He had played every piece correctly on his end, he just hadn't heard from Daniel's group yet. Raiders covered the entire field, blood swamps forming form the excess amount of gore. It was a gruesome view for those with weak stomachs, but Robert had seen worse than this. The men he was commanding started to shoot a bullet into the heads of every corpse. ""BANG! BANG!"" This made sure that the dead wouldn't come back to life. It was determined that everyone was infected, whomever died, bitten or not, would come back as one of those mindless walkers. Therefore, to prevent such a horror, they'd have to puncture the brain, which prevented them from returning. But as the soldiers made their rounds, they witnessed one of the raiders remained alive. He had been shot in the thigh, making him incapable of retreating. ""Robert! There's one still breathing"" one of the Haywood men called out.<br/><br/>Robert started down towards the man. He walked over the bodies, making sure he didn't step on them. Though they were the enemy, they had been soldiers. Soldiers were to be respected regardless whose side they were one. The muscular man looked terrifying, his shoulders were wide and his traps completely built. The raider's eyes widened as Robert blocked the sun from his flesh. He was like living eclipse, born to eradicate the light and bring nothing but darkness to the wrong. ""You try to flee as your brothers die?"" Robert started, the other Haywood soldier backing off. Robert picked up the living raider just to throw him down again. The Haywood men stood and watched as their commanding officer toyed with the pirate. ""You raiders are weak, fighting for your personal goals rather than the groups. At Haywood we are family. We are brothers, tied together by fate. Here you lay in the sacred ground watered with the tears of blood. Blood gushed from your own brothers yet you attempt to flee as though they mean nothing to you. Have you now shame?"" Robert asked, once again picking the man up from the ground. This time, he held him up with one arm. ""You think yourself above them? These men sacrifice their lives for your leader, yet here you stand as though you are an exclusion. Do you feel as though you are better? Do you feel superior?""<br/><br/>""......I-I don-don't know. I just-just wanna live.....Please! I beg you! Don't ki-""<br/><br/>""Bang!""<br/><br/>The shot rang aloud, echoing not only through the surface, but also into the pits of the underground prison. The raider fell with a thump, his body clashing hard against the sands. ""Today we've proven ourselves at the top of the food chain. We are no longer prisoners to our desires, we are no longer slaves nor gladiators. We are no longer tied to the chains of aspiration. Today we are free men. From this day we will continue being free, no one will stand in our way. For Haywood!"" Robert yelled, holding his hand high in the sky as his men followed by example.<br/><br/>""For Haywood! For Haywood!"" they chanted.<br/><br/>Suddenly, everything was interrupted by the sound of a talkie. The buzz stopped everyone from chanting the name of their city. It seemed that Daniel had saved his sister from the cells, freeing her from her capture. But that was all that was transmitted. Quickly, Robert unstrapped his walkie-talkie from his belt and pressed the button to transmit. ""Repeat"" he growled. And O'Conner repeated the information. This made Robert go into a state of rage, angered by the outcome of Daniel's attack. ""The purpose of their infiltration was to kill Tyler, did they succeed?"" he asked O'Conner via talkie. Before they even got to the catacombs he had told Daniel that his men came first, that their mission was to take down the man who had created an empire in this world. They were suppose to target a mass murderer, a slave holder, a monster. Instead, Daniel, a high ranked military man decided to implement his own plan. He used the Haywood men to save one rather than possibly hundreds. ""How many casualties O'Conner? Repeat: How many casualties?"" Robert asked. His concern was his men, not the girl. He could care less for the life of one, when the life of ten lay on the line. This was unacceptable from Daniel's part and he would be dealt with accordingly. ""Everyone, return to Haywood"" he commanded, giving his last word before parting out. The war had ended, it was time for a new beginning, but first there were things to be fixed."

It bothered him more than slightly. Besides that, he worried about James and Emma. Had they got out of the catacombs in time and in safetey? ""Daniel, I think we should pull out."" Henry's voice came quietly.<br/><br/>""Give it some more time; I promised Robert that I'd do my best to put an end to Tyler."" He said, enforcingly. The continued walking for what seemed like an hour. Daniel looked down to his wristwatch. It had been hours since they'd come in and all they'd run across were hordes of raiders and hordes of walkers. No Tyler, though. Daniel slowly came to a halt; he'd seen this hallway before; the red markings on one of the doors. That meant that they'd searched the whole of the compound.... Daniel sighed before turning in the direction of the exit. ""Let's go..."" It took only about ten minutes to backtrack to the exit. Before Daniel climbed up, he saw a body in the hallway. He took a closer look, but couldn't make out the face. Daniel Crowe climbed up the ladder; the raid was over.<br/><br/><b> Riley O'Connor - New Orleans - Robert </b><br/><br/>The first thing O'Connor noticed(and feared) was that Robert sounded angry. He held the walkie to his face and relayed in. ""Robert, that's the problem. I was guarding the entrance and I found her alone in the halls, she was running from a horde. I don't know how, but she took a rifle round to the back. Now I've fixed her up; but Daniel is no where to be found. Nor are Henry, James, Audrey or any of our guys."" Riley waited a moment. ""Robert, that was almost three hours ago. Daniel is still in the catacombs, looking for Tyler. He's not abandoned us just yet, it seems."""
17985,Walking Dead rp,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18723-walking-dead-rp,['Casual'],2014-03-13 16:43:00,Myst,"<center><b>The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined</b><br/><br/>ALWAYS ACCEPTING<br/><i>When hell gets full, the Devil lets the dead walk the earth...</i></center><br/><br/>So this is a walking dead style rp. There will be action and gore and zombie killing, but mostly this will be about the twists and turns, the drama, the heartache and the joy of moral decisions that have both good and bad consequences.<br/>Everything you do and say will have consequences further down the line. The walker you killed yesterday was actually the mother of the person you met today. That guy you refused to give food? He came back as a walker and killed your best friend. That little boy you helped? He came back with a large group to steal your supplies. Each choice is life and death. Don't ever get too comfortable, because you never know when things will go to hell.<br/>Of course... it's already there...<br/><br/>Rules :<br/>1. No fighting in the OOC. I mean it. You get one warning, then your characters gets killed off and you are banned from the rp.<br/>2. No overpowered characters. It's okay to have weapons, but not everyone is survival trained and can make a rocket launcher with a pocket knife, some string and a potato. Be realistic with your characters skills and their weapons.<br/>3. Gore is fine, but romance (if there is any during a zombie apocalypse) goes to PM. Anything above kissing goes to PM.<br/>4. Killing of characters must be agreed upon.<br/>5. Before making any game changing decisions please pm me to ask or discuss it in the OOC before posting it. This does not mean I need to make every decision for you, but MAJOR plot twists need to be approved by either me or my Co-GM(s).<br/>6. You can have as many characters as you can handle. Do not ignore anyone and post regularly. If you can't post for a couple of days, let us know so we can move around your character. If you do not post in the IC or OOC or PM me for four days straight your character will be killed and become a walker. If you want to return after that, you can make another character.<br/>7. People will die. It's a zombie survival rp. If I PM you about your character dying please do not be upset. I am not picking on you or singling you out for any other reason then to add drama and keep the story random and interesting. You can always make another character, but if you are dead set on keeping you character alive I will not kill them without your consent.<br/>8. It might seem strange to have this rule but I have run into problems with this in the past so I am going to say it right off : NO ONE IS IMMUNE. This is not ""The Last of Us"" this is a ""The Walking Dead"" rp. There is no cure and there is no immunity to the zombie virus. Everyone already has it. Your character can be<span class=""bb-u"">working</span>on a cure, but that is all.<br/>9. I reserve the right to add more rules if needed.<br/><br/>Anyone who wants to Co-GM this with me just let me know in the OOC or PM me. First come first serve. Depending on how many people join I might have one or two Co-GMs that I will discuss everything with.<br/>I am in this for the long-haul, so I ask you to please not join unless you plan on being in this for a while and will contribute to the story. I have seen too many good rps die from people joining and never posting.<br/><br/>CS:<br/><br/>Appearance : (please no anime pics. portraits are fine as long as they are realistic)<br/>Name :<br/>Age :<br/>Skill : (are you good at medicine? cooking? electronics? hunting? marksman?)<br/>Weapon (up three): (anything you can realistically have)<br/>Personality : (good and bad points)<br/>Brief Bio : (we are not going to know much about each other at first so only a brief history, such as what they were doing before the outbreak, is fine)<br/><br/>Let's have fun with the end of civilization, shall we?<br/><br/>GM = Myst<br/>Co-GM = QT<br/><br/><a href=""http://us14.chatzy.com/39311663921805"">group chat</a>"

He is also a very good medic.<br/>Weapon (up three): He has a machete and a scythe.<br/>Personality : He's not a very nice person at all, he is usually rude and uninterested towards anyone and won't show any compassion at killing you if turn into a zombie. But other than that he's a very trustworthy person, one of the greatest things he learned when serving the army.<br/>Brief Bio : Jack had served the U.S army for more than twenty years. He started as a simple medic, inside a tent and treating and curing every soldier that was sent injuried into his workplace. However, fifteen years working as a medic twisted his mind a little, and he developed a craving to see how people where sent there, why their flesh failed to stop the bullets or how it broke from the edge of a knife. He was sent on a mission to the south-american jungle to treat with some terrorists. There, he met his best friend, Benny. He was a person Jack felt like he was really comfortable with. Benny had two sons, and he had to go back home. It was actually his last mission. However, in the middle of the mission, they were ambushed in a corn-field, and one of their troopers stepped on a land-mine, detonating it and sending everyone into the air. The terrorists were alerted and a slaughter started with Jack unconscious and on the verge of dying. When he woke up, the dead corpse of Benny laid next to him, his eyes open and showing how life had escaped them. Fueled with rage and anger, he stood up and grabbed a sickle he found around and proceeded to kill the remaining terrorist who were unaware of the stealth menace they were facing. Since then, he was deemed ""Mr. Grimm"" by the army itself, and he was discharged for mental insanity. Shortly after he came back home, he found a skeleton in a hospital whose skull was suspiciously particular to Benny's, so in honor to his deceased partner, he stole the skull stitched it to his head to show how sorry he is for his death. Now, he just roams the the wastelands of the ravaged city with the bloodied skull on his head, still believing the skull is actually his friend's one. <br/>""They say human mind bends and twists in order to deal with problems of life...I think my mind bend so much it snapped in two.""

<br/>Name: Floyd Conlon<br/>Age: 29<br/>Skill: Farming. Hunting. Bowman. Brawling.<br/>Weapon (up three): Recurve Bow. Arrows. Trench Knife. <br/>Personality: Floyd doesn't like getting told what to do, due to some past experiences with his father. He's more of a lonesome person and prefers working alone, seeing other people as a hassle and hard to work with. Though he is volatile, he is more level-headed than most people in the present situation. Though he's mainly distant, he still holds deep care for many of the people he's interacted with. He's not as selfless as he acts. <br/>Brief Bio : After his mother passed away, Floyd moved in with his father, who had been divorced for more than three years. At the time, Floyd was nineteen years old, absent of thought for the situation, he really didn't care, but soon would. His father didn't care about Floyd, he saw him as a responsibility he had no choice but to partake in. Interaction between them was scant. Because Floyd was unable to get a job outside his father's farm, he lived there until he was twenty three. His father passed away three months after Floyd's birthday. Floyd could not maintain the farm and was stripped of it by local tax collectors and such. With the remaining money, he moved to New Orleans living in a small cabin near the woods. Without money, he could not buy food, therefore fell back on his crop work along with his hunting skills. He stole a bow and arrow from a local hunting supply store. He got to New Orleans on an old bobber his father had fixed about a year before he passed. He sold it to a pre-owned vehicle shop for two grand. Living alone for years was difficult but worthwhile. He made a friend, Elijah, a local from New Orleans who helped Floyd get settled. It wasn't long before Elijah moved to Houston, the big city, and resumed a life with his pharmacist of a girlfriend. She had cheated on her five year relationship to be with him. ""Freaken wh*re."" Anyhow, once the breakout occurred, it seemed that the traffic of the cities moved into the woods. Walkers roamed the countryside as if it were the big city. Floyd had no option but to move on, scattering what he could and entering the dead zone, which was the city of New Orleans.

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Name : Shannon Greene<br/>Age : 22<br/>Appearance : She's a bit tall and slender for her age. She's about average weight for her height though, and she's got slightly toned legs/upper body through a regular workout she has. Most apparent about Shannon is her thick blond hair. This is largely from her mother, though a touch of her father's brown wavy hair can be seen in the color of her own. Unlike her mother, who wears her hair far past her shoulders, Shannon chooses to keep her hair at shoulder length, or not much further beyond that. Her skin is rather pale and she tends to burn rather than tan when exposed to the sun. She has green eyes that are specked with brown, but aren't particularly striking in much way.<br/>Skill : Shannon likes to be athletic, and runs almost every day. She loves to look her best, and almost always eats healthy. She's also big into fashion, hoping to be a designer when she is older. Shannon is very good with her hands and has a good sense of technology/machinery. Her father always kept her informed of the kind of trinkets she worked with, and Shannon would often become pretty interested in his work.<br/>Weapons: - Knife (No serrated edge)<br/>- 9mm pistol (little ammo)<br/>Personality : Shannon has been described as ""Perky and optimistic"", which is quite the contrast when compared to her surly best friend, Danny. She has a sunny disposition most of the time, and tends to bottle her negative emotions away. It's because of this that Shannon isn't a big fan of drama. When people don't get along, it tends to get on her nerves. This is most apparent with her friend, Danny, who is a bit too surly sometimes for her liking. With most people, Shannon is perhaps a bit too agreeable, willing to stop what she is doing to go along with what she believes will make someone happy. The only person she tends to disagree with is Danny. Shannon fears not being important to anybody. She has a strong desire to be on good terms with people.<br/>After the apocalypse started and Shannon found herself separated from everyone she cared about, her personality took a hit. The sunny disposition she was known for was now buried under some heavy sadness and hopelessness.<br/>Bio : Shannon was an only child, born to two parents who never desired to have more than one child. Her father worked as a mechanic for as long as Shannon could remember, and her mom had always been in and out of waitress jobs. She stayed familiar with her parent's work, developing an interest in machines and technology from her father. When Shannon was in grade school, she met Daniel Heidecker, who she would always poke fun at. It wasn't until they were almost in high school that they became close. Danny was a bit less grumpy when he was younger and more accepting of the bubbly kind of person Shannon was. She liked to smile, always liked to smile. Her cheerful demeanor tended to rub off on her friends (even Danny, occasionally). Danny quickly became her closest friend, visiting her and hanging out with her whenever he could get a spare moment. However, Danny eventually became more closed off from others as time went on, and soon Shannon and her family were the few people he associated with. When Danny became estranged from his own family, he went to live with Shannon and her family. After high school, the pair moved to a different state to live with Shannon's pen-pal, Monica.<br/>When the apocalypse started, Shannon lost her sometimes-kind-of boyfriend Brandon in the initial aftermath and she was forced to separate from her friend Monica. While attempting to get back to her parents, Shannon found herself separated from Danny as well. This greatly affected Shannon, who lost hope in getting in contact with her family. She's fallen in and out with various groups since then.

He is so focused that he doesn't make a single sound as he hacks and slashes away at his enemies.<br/>Gwen...<br/>Housewife - They were alone growing up, their parents both had very busy office jobs, in turn Gwen became, in a way, Aleck's mother.

His morals and ideals are not average, he was born with a lack of emotional strength in the sense that his emotions are weak, while he may show surface emotion deep down he's always bored unless he is doing something he considers extremely enjoyable. His sister is his moral anchor, everything he considers to be right and wrong revolve around her, meaning that if she approves of something he is fine with it if she isn't then he will consider it a ""bad"" thing for values of her displeasure. <br/>Gwen: She has a strong motherly instinct, though Aleck is not her real brother they were together since before either had permanent memory, it is their close upbringing and his reliance on her that developed her maturity and motherly nature. Though Aleck can be mature, strong, and very intelligent he is by nature a child at heart in her eyes. He always has a goofy grin that makes him look like a troublemaker child and she often has to scold him.<br/>Brief Bio : <br/>Aleck and Gwen are not real siblings, they were both adopted into the family so neither is even related to their ""parents"". They were both at home when things went down the crapper. They bunkered down and survived the initial first month when things were real bad but after a whole things started to cool down and Aleck began venturing out to find food and other essentials.

Shortly after he came back home, he found a skeleton in a hospital whose skull was suspiciously particular to Benny's, so in honor to his deceased partner, he stole the skull stitched it to his head to show how sorry he is for his death. Now, he just roams the the wastelands of the ravaged city with the bloodied skull on his head, still believing the skull is actually his friend's one.<br/>""They say human mind bends and twists in order to deal with problems of life...I think my mind bend so much it snapped in two."""

(Will remove this if this is considered more than three weapons)<br/>Personality: Damian is quick to judge and quick to anger, though his ability to make decisions and form opinions quickly has certainly come in handy during the apocalyps. Small transgressions or mistakes on his part are quickly forgiven or forgotten, however he carries a major grudge towards large issues. Thanks to his skills, he is arrogant, but confident of himself ad his skills. His trust is a hard earned thing, however once one were to obtain it, one would be able to fid a fierce and loyal friend or ally in Damian, protective of those he cares about and are worth it. His suspicion in strangers is high, and often is of the opinion that a job will only work well when he is the one doing it. His determination to survive knows few limits, though is guided by a strong set of morals still. His morals are not completely the same as everyone else sometimes tough, greed and selfpreservation often getting the better of him. He will do what it takes to survive, but make sure that what suvives remains worth fighting for.<br/>Brief Bio: Damian is silent abut his past. Before the world went to hell, Damian was tangled up in the criminal underworld, involved in car thefts, pitfighting, drug deals and robberies big and small.The scars on his left arm even today are an indication that he used to be a drug addict. Thankfully, he managed to start to break free from his addiction before the outbreak, while afterwards there simply was no chance for him to relapse, ironically something that helped him break free from his less than perfect life even before it became a simple struggle for survival."

Hunting. Bowman. Brawling.<br/><br/><b>Weapon (up three): </b>Recurve Bow. Arrows.

He's more of a lonesome person and prefers working alone, seeing other people as a hassle and hard to work with. Though he is volatile, he is more level-headed than most people in the present situation. Though he's mainly distant, he still holds deep care for many of the people he's interacted with. He's not as selfless as he acts.<br/><br/><b>Brief Bio : </b>After his mother passed away, Floyd moved in with his father, who had been divorced for more than three years. At the time, Floyd was nineteen years old, absent of thought for the situation, he really didn't care, but soon would. His father didn't care about Floyd, he saw him as a responsibility he had no choice but to partake in. Interaction between them was scant. Because Floyd was unable to get a job outside his father's farm, he lived there until he was twenty three. His father passed away three months after Floyd's birthday. Floyd could not maintain the farm and was stripped of it by local tax collectors and such. With the remaining money, he moved to New Orleans living in a small cabin near the woods. Without money, he could not buy food, therefore fell back on his crop work along with his hunting skills. He stole a bow and arrow from a local hunting supply store. He got to New Orleans on an old bobber his father had fixed about a year before he passed. He sold it to a pre-owned vehicle shop for two grand. Living alone for years was difficult but worthwhile. He made a friend, Elijah, a local from New Orleans who helped Floyd get settled. It wasn't long before Elijah moved to Houston, the big city, and resumed a life with his pharmacist of a girlfriend. She had cheated on her five year relationship to be with him. ""Freaken wh*re."" Anyhow, once the breakout occurred, it seemed that the traffic of the cities moved into the woods. Walkers roamed the countryside as if it were the big city. Floyd had no option but to move on, scattering what he could and entering the dead zone, which was the city of New Orleans."

Tom is only good at a few things, one being that; he can be good at solving problems, whether the problem doesn't seem to have an answer.. he'll have one for it - whether it's crafting related, tactics related, science, math.. you name it, he gots an answer for it. Another one being his ability to adapt, he's soft spoken and kind-.. but he doesn't give up and die, faith holds him through. He has the advanced ability to bunker down and adapt to different things, weather conditions, climate changes, scarce food/water; he's very flexible when things get rough.<br/><br/>Weapon (up to three): A slingshot, used primarily for hunting small game - squirrels, rabbits, sometimes pheasant if it can be found. A knife, used for skinning of these animals and food prep.. not so much for fighting.<br/><br/>Personality : Tom has his share of quirks, good and bad.. he is unable to communicate properly with anyone of whom he hasn't had a emotional connection with, he's shy.. just very shy, very timid - but once people get to know him, they will realize that he's just a soft-spoken charismatic young boy.<br/> <br/>He's patient, almost too patient.. nothing will make him mad, he will always just maintain a neutral attitude towards everything - he has no opinion of his own, nor does he pick a leader or an objective and follow it. <br/><br/>He's very caring and loving.. though it's not much of a thing that will help inside a zombie apocalypse, it is a big part of his moral values.. he loves everybody, equally - regardless if they love him back.<br/><br/>He's not a hard-ass, just the complete opposite.. as stated before, he's a soft young boy that seeks nothing but affection and love of others.. he's not a pussy, not by any words.. just a person who chooses not to fight if he doesn't have to and it's avoidable, his patience contributes to that aswell.. he wouldn't be one to start a fight. He's soft, very soft.. physically, aswell as mentally.. he doesn't cry from pain, but he cries from emotional distress when it's beyond his capability to adapt - he's only been alive for so long because he's smart and quick on his feet.<br/><br/>Brief Bio : Tom wasn't a person who used fancy gadgets, and thingamajiggers - partly contributed to the fact that he was born into a strict Amish family, his dialect spoken was mostly Pennsylvania Dutch - English wasn't a common thing used in his household, he was raised on a large farm inside an Amish Community in Ohio. At the time of the outbreak, his father was tending the land and so was he, and his mother was inside the house doing dishes.. it's a long story, which is better left unspoken.. but his father and mother didn't make it, he's been bareback rode a horse as far as he could away from the mess.. he left it all, his horse died of a heart attack and now he's on foot, just several miles out of New Orleans. <br/></center>"

18045,Walking Dead rp,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18723-walking-dead-rp,['Casual'],2014-03-14 05:39:00,Atomyk,"<b>Name :</b>Shannon Greene<br/><b>Age :</b>23<br/><br/><b>Appearance :</b>She's a bit tall and slender for her age. She's about average weight for her height though, and she's got slightly toned legs/upper body through a regular workout she has. Most apparent about Shannon is her thick blond hair. This is largely from her mother, though a touch of her father's brown wavy hair can be seen in the color of her own. Unlike her mother, who wears her hair far past her shoulders, Shannon chooses to keep her hair at shoulder length, or not much further beyond that. Her skin is rather pale and she tends to burn rather than tan when exposed to the sun. She has green eyes that are specked with brown, but aren't particularly striking in much way.<br/><br/><b>Skill :</b>Shannon likes to be athletic, and runs almost every day. She loves to look her best, and almost always eats healthy. She's also big into fashion, hoping to be a designer when she is older. Shannon is very good with her hands and has a good sense of technology/machinery. Her father always kept her informed of the kind of trinkets she worked with, and Shannon would often become pretty interested in his work.<br/><br/><b>Weapons:</b>- Knife (No serrated edge)<br/>- 9mm pistol (little ammo)<br/><br/><b>Personality :</b>Shannon has been described as ""Perky and optimistic"", which is quite the contrast when compared to her surly best friend, Danny. She has a sunny disposition most of the time, and tends to bottle her negative emotions away. It's because of this that Shannon isn't a big fan of drama. When people don't get along, it tends to get on her nerves. This is most apparent with her friend, Danny, who is a bit too surly sometimes for her liking. With most people, Shannon is perhaps a bit too agreeable, willing to stop what she is doing to go along with what she believes will make someone happy. The only person she tends to disagree with is Danny. Shannon fears not being important to anybody. She has a strong desire to be on good terms with people.<br/><br/>After the apocalypse started and Shannon found herself separated from everyone she cared about, her personality took a hit. The sunny disposition she was known for was now buried under some heavy sadness and hopelessness.<br/><br/><b>Bio :</b>Shannon was an only child, born to two parents who never desired to have more than one child. Her father worked as a mechanic for as long as Shannon could remember, and her mom had always been in and out of waitress jobs. She stayed familiar with her parent's work, developing an interest in machines and technology from her father. When Shannon was in grade school, she met Daniel Heidecker, who she would always poke fun at. It wasn't until they were almost in high school that they became close. Danny was a bit less grumpy when he was younger and more accepting of the bubbly kind of person Shannon was. She liked to smile, always liked to smile. Her cheerful demeanor tended to rub off on her friends (even Danny, occasionally). Danny quickly became her closest friend, visiting her and hanging out with her whenever he could get a spare moment. However, Danny eventually became more closed off from others as time went on, and soon Shannon and her family were the few people he associated with. When Danny became estranged from his own family, he went to live with Shannon and her family. After high school, the pair moved to a different state to live with Shannon's pen-pal, Monica.<br/><br/>When the apocalypse started, Shannon lost her sometimes-kind-of boyfriend Brandon in the initial aftermath and she was forced to separate from her friend Monica. While attempting to get back to her parents, Shannon found herself separated from Danny as well. This greatly affected Shannon, who lost hope in getting in contact with her family. She's fallen in and out with various groups since then."

He is so focused that he doesn't make a single sound as he hacks and slashes away at his enemies.<br/><br/>Gwen...<br/>Housewife - They were alone growing up, their parents both had very busy office jobs, in turn Gwen became, in a way, Aleck's mother. Thus she learned to cook, clean, and the all important fussing. She's good at keeping track of inventory and has a grade A mathematician mind.<br/><br/>Weapon:<br/>Aleck<br/>Hand and a Half Sword - (I have one, pretty cheap and it is combat durable)<br/><br/>Father's Dual Colt Pythons - Due to being an heirloom his father kept the guns in a glass case and only had the display's twenty rounds plus the five in the revolver.<br/><br/>Gwen<br/>None - has a dislike for blood and violence.<br/><br/>Personality :<br/>Aleck: ADHD and psychologically different. His morals and ideals are not average, he was born with a lack of emotional strength in the sense that his emotions are weak, while he may show surface emotion deep down he's always bored unless he is doing something he considers extremely enjoyable. His sister is his moral anchor, everything he considers to be right and wrong revolve around her, meaning that if she approves of something he is fine with it if she isn't then he will consider it a ""bad"" thing for values of her displeasure.<br/><br/>Gwen: She has a strong motherly instinct, though Aleck is not her real brother they were together since before either had permanent memory, it is their close upbringing and his reliance on her that developed her maturity and motherly nature. Though Aleck can be mature, strong, and very intelligent he is by nature a child at heart in her eyes. He always has a goofy grin that makes him look like a troublemaker child and she often has to scold him.<br/><br/>Brief Bio :<br/>Aleck and Gwen are not real siblings, they were both adopted into the family so neither is even related to their ""parents"". They were both at home when things went down the crapper. They bunkered down and survived the initial first month when things were real bad but after a whole things started to cool down and Aleck began venturing out to find food and other essentials."

However he is capable of great evils if pushed as he is ex military he knows very man ways to make a human being hurt.<br/>Brief Bio : He was given leave to see his dieing father and had returned from overseas just before the outbreak began, he made it to his fathers house but it was too late. He mourned his fathers death and spent the night in his fathers house, he woke up to the sound of a struggle outside his door. He sprung awake and pulled his pocket knife off his nightstand and ran outside. He saw his mother being devoured by a decaying man, Enrique didnt know what to think only attack. He dug the blade into the creatures brain stem and twisted till it collapsed, he left the knife there and looked at his mothers dead body. He could have sat there for hours had he not heard the sounds of screaming outside his door and made a run for his fathers gun. It was kept in the closet in a locked box with plenty of clips, he grabbed the lamp off of his fathers nightstand and broke the locks. He pulled the pistol from its place in the box and put it in his belt then pulled the rest of the clips out as well the duffel bag that layed next to it, he set the clips into it and moved quickly bag to his room. He grabbed his dogtags and put them over his head, he then pulled on his fatigue pants, his combat boots, and stuffed some blankets into the bag. He ran into the kitchen and grabbed anything he could that wouldnt spoil for some time. He remembered something his father had made but kept secret from his children, Enrique ran into his room and pulled an object wrapped in cloth from under the bed. He unfolded the cloth and the small snub nosed shotgun was exposed, Enrique picked it up and smiled broadly he checked the barrels and saw it was loaded, he spent a fair few minutes looking around for some ammo but only managed to find 4 spare shells. He stuffed it into the duffel and made his way to the garage, he found the keys on the dash and put them in the ignition he started the car and then opened the garage door. The light was a blinding contrast to the dark garage and caused Enrique to squint, when his eyes had adjusted he saw another corpse approaching the car and backed up crushing it under the car, he made a two point turn into his fathers grass and then sped off down the road."

She was formerly a gymnast and she had a hobby of doing things like parkour.<br/>Weapon (up three): (anything you can realistically have) Just a combat knife from her older brother, but she can easily outrun the walkers/zombies(Whatever you preffer to reffer to them as)<br/>Personality : (good and bad points) Emma is very compassionate and she is quick to forgive. She can be stubborn, and she is almost too-trusting<br/>Brief Bio : (we are not going to know much about each other at first so only a brief history, such as what they were doing before the outbreak, is fine)<br/>Prior to the outbreak, Emma was a very much into gymnastics and free running. Her mother died four years before the outbreak, and her dead went with the first wave of Walkers. Not being very good at moving on, she often feels hopeless and helpless against the world. She believes that since the apocalyptic world could take someone as strong as her dad, she feels very doubtful about her chances of survival."

<br/> Amelia 'Rose' Stephens 26Amelia tends to excel in keeping hidden and remaining out of sight and out of mind. By using her experiences from before the outbreak she has managed to remain distant from heavily infected areas and others who would seek to harm her for resources. M4 Carbine - Currently empty but kept with the hope she might come across rounds for it. M9 Pistol - Two clips remaining. Combat Knife. At first she is fairly reserved and quiet, preferring more to observe before making an opinion on her surroundings or a particular person. She can however, be quite talkative when and if she feels comfortable and usually this is a sign she is trusting you. She can be incredibly stubborn at times, especially if she feels she is right and will often walk away from a conflict then talk it out. From first impressions she will usually come across as kind, friendly and helpful however this is once you can gain her trust otherwise she will be abrupt distrustful and fairly cold towards you. Before the outbreak Amelia served as a RAF Regiment Gunner. She was flown into the US to help set up blockades to protect communities and lock out the infection. But it wasn't long before they were soon overrun and were out of time. They waited for backup to arrive, holding off as many as they could despite that the blockade wasn't even close to finished. But it was far too late, backup never came and it soon was understood that staying would mean imminent death. So a good portion of the blockade ran, Amelia among them. During the following week eleven had made it from the blockade alive, by the next week three remained. Amelia has been on the move ever since. Tried to keep this as small as I could so I could give more IC. Hope this is ok.<br/>

<ul><i><span class=""bb-u"">Tuesday, November 5th</span></i><li>It has been roughly six months since the apocalypse began. <b>Jack ""Mr. Grimm"" McKormack</b> rides into New Orleans on his motorcycle. He encounters <b>Jessalyn</b>, a pregnant woman, and her friend <b>Lynn</b> living in old broken railway cars. The two women worry he is a man known as <b>Tyler</b>.</li><br/><li><b>Floyd Conlon</b> survives a close encounter with walkers. He overhears Grimm's motorcycle from afar and spies on the man.</li><br/><li><b>Jack ""Sully"" Sullam</b> encounters a boy named Harrison. After walkers descend on the pair, only Jack survives the encounter.</li><br/><li>From the rooftops, <b>Damian Copperton</b> spies on the group in the train yard. After deciding not to deal with the group, he encounters a woman named <b>Holly</b>.</li><br/><li>Also having spied the train yard group, <b>Tom ""Tommy"" Brown</b> hides in the bushes and takes aim at the unfamiliar group.</li><br/><li>In search of a new shelter, <b>Rob O'Dara</b> spies Damian and Holly on the rooftops. He cautiously attempts to get only Holly's attention, but manages to just put the rooftop pair on edge. After an awkward standoff, the trio discuss the idea of traveling together.</li><br/><li>In a rundown convenience store, <b>Shannon Greene</b> mourns the loss of her friend Lexi. After leaving the store, she soon encounters <b>James Feryana</b>, who asks to join up with her.</li><br/><li>Grimm asks Jessalyn and Lynn for water, food, or shelter. Lynn tells Grimm that they don't have anything to spare, but that he can stay in one of the other train cars. Lynn makes it clear that she doesn't trust him. The two women then talk about doing their laundry, and Grimm offers them a ride into the city. Floyd reveals himself and tells the group that it's too dangerous inside the city. He then tells Grimm to leave.</li><br/><li>Damian informs Rob and Holly of his base inside the bell tower. He tells the pair that if they don't pull their weight he will quickly abandon them.</li><br/><li>A man being attacked by a walker wanders into the train yard. Lynn goes to take care of both of them and Jessalyn sits down to talk with Grimm and Floyd. She tells the pair that Lynn doesn't trust new people, especially men. She believes she still has a few months before her baby is due.</li><br/><li>Frustrated with the attitudes of Lynn and Floyd, Grimm leaves on his own. After raiding a 7/11, <span class=""bb-u"">Grimm drives off to parts unknown.</span></li><br/><li>Shaken by the little boy's death, Jack runs into the train yard group. He begs them for assistance. Tom chooses this opportunity to also introduce himself to the train yard group. Floyd reacts negatively to the pair, telling them to move on. Jessalyn begs the men not to fight. When she realizes Jack is a doctor, she asks the man to examine her and tell her if her baby is okay.</li><br/><li><b>Brandon ""Scott"" Brown</b> and his companions <b>Julia, Alexander, and Quinn</b> are making a shelter out of a church. A man named <b>Polyester Homes</b> hears the commotion from the church and spies on the building. Raiders attack the church, demanding the group of their supplies. Up in the bell tower, Brandon waves to Damian's group, asking them for assistance.</li><br/><li>Having dealt with the walker threat, Lynn overhears the gunshots from the church. Worried it is Tyler's group, Lynn rushes to check out the situation.</li><br/><li><b>Aleck Wyrde</b> sees the church fight from his location. He decides to lay low and see how things turn out. His sister, <b>Gwen Wyrde</b>, is blissfully unaware and wonders if she will be making ravioli or lasagna this evening.</li><br/><li>Annoyed with Jessalyn trusting the two new men, Floyd leaves the train yard. He comes across a horde of walkers drawn toward the church. Following them, he eventually finds Lynn.</li><br/><li>Drawn by the gunfire from the church, <b>Emma Crowe</b> finds herself wandering into the train yard. She finds herself attacked by a walker and tries to call out to the train yard group for help. Having wandered away from the church, Aleck finds Emma and manages to save her. The pair retreat into a nearby store.</li><br/><li>Brandon's group fight back, managing to kill one of the raiders. One of the raiders introduces himself as <b>Brad</b>, telling Brandon that he will spare his group. Brad mentions having to get back to Tyler before leaving, taking the other raiders with him.</li><br/><li>Having been wandering the streets, Shannon and James are attacked by walkers. During the attack, the pair are also attacked by raiders. They manage to narrowly escape.</li><br/><li>Attracted by the gunfire, walkers descend on the church. <span class=""bb-u"">Brandon and his group manage to jack a car and drive off to parts unknown.</span> Lynn and Floyd manage to escape back to the train yard. Polyester manages to escape to the woods. Rob ends up becoming separated from <span class=""bb-u"">Damian and Holly, who both go missing.</span></li><br/><li>Having tended to Emma's wounds, Aleck gives the girl a walkie-talkie so she can communicate with him. He leaves her to go back and check on the church again. Emma leaves the store and is found limping by the train yard group on the railroad tracks. After finding the church ransacked, Aleck returns to Emma.</li><br/><li>Having taken shelter in a nearby building, Shannon sees the train yard group outside and confuses them for more raiders. She fires on the group, who fire back on her. In the confusion, Floyd puts Jessalyn on the back of his motorcycle and escapes with her into the woods.</li><br/><li>Drawn by the gunfire, <b>Daniel Crowe</b> breaks into the building and subdues Shannon. He decides to assist her and James. He takes them back to his base, an auto garage. James sees his parents amongst the walkers that attack them.</li><br/><li>The trio find <b>Amelia ""Rose"" Stephens</b> ransacking Daniel's base. Daniel is impressed with the woman's military background and asks her to join them.</li><br/><li>When Daniel asks James if he's seen a girl matching his sister Emma's description, James informs him that he saw a girl who looked like that back at the train yard. Enraged, Daniel immediately leaves to go back and find her. Ashamed she fired on innocent people, Shannon asks Daniel if she can go with him. She asks Amelia to look after James while they are gone.</li><br/><li>Drawn by the previous gunfire, the train yard group is attacked by walkers. <span class=""bb-u"">Both Jack and Tom die in the attack</span>. During the attack, the raiders come and kidnap Lynn and Emma. Brad steals Emma's knife and carves out a piece of Lynn's clothing. He leaves both the knife and the piece of cloth behind. Having watched the event from afar, Aleck uses the directional tracker in the walkie-talkies to track Emma and the raider group.</li><br/><li>Floyd and Jessalyn's camp is attacked by walkers. Floyd commands Jessalyn to run back to the railroad tracks. When he becomes overwhelmed by the walkers, he escapes deeper into the woods.</li><br/><li>Daniel and Shannon find Emma's knife at the train yard. Having scouted the raiders hideout, Aleck returns to the train yard. He overhears Daniel calling out for Emma, and tells the pair that he can lead them to her, as she had been captured by a group of men. Polyester runs into the group and asks to follow them.</li><br/><li>Daniel tells Aleck no, that they won't be working with him. Daniel and Shannon leave with Polyester. They head back to the garage to inform Amelia and James of the situation. Shannon asks them if they will help rescue Emma and they all agree to help. The group decides to sleep and come up with a plan in the morning.</li><br/><li>Disappointed by Daniel, Aleck goes to loot a liquor store. He decides to abandon the idea of getting Emma back, hoping that Daniel will be able to get her on his own. Drunk, Aleck makes his way to the thrift store where he and his sister, Gwen, have been staying. Aleck falls dead asleep.</li><br/><span class=""bb-u""><i>Wednesday, November 6th</i></span><br/><li>The sun just starting to rise, Floyd runs into <b>Elijah Haywood</b> in the woods. Having met before the outbreak, Eli asks Floyd to join his camp, but Floyd doesn't trust the man. He declines Eli's offer and tries to continue his search for Jessalyn, but is shot in the leg by Eli. Floyd spots Jessalyn off in the distance and is forced to watch Eli and his group capture her. Eli tells Floyd not to follow them.</li><br/><li>Jessalyn confuses Eli's group for Tyler and his raiders. Eli informs her that he is taking her to Haywood, a refugee camp and trading post for survivors. While Jessalyn is acclimated into life at Haywood, Eli informs the mayor of Haywood, <b>Bruce Levi</b>, that he's brought a pregnant woman to the camp. Bruce tells Eli that Jessalyn will be a goldmine for their community.</li><br/><li>Lynn and Emma are brought to the raider hideout located underground in the catacombs of New Orleans. The two girls are placed into cells. Tyler tortures and interrogates Lynn, trying to find out where Jessalyn is. When she won't give her friend up, Tyler knocks the woman out and tells her he's sending her to the arena. Tyler then calls on <b>Beckett ""Bex"" Everett</b> and a few other raiders for a mission to clear the local shopping mall. Bex convinces Tyler to instead let him guard the new prisoners. The other raiders, led by <b>Ash</b>, are sent on their mission without Bex.</li><br/><li>Floyd is captured by a group of raiders out on a hunt. They take him back to the hideout.</li><br/><li>Daniel and the others wake up at the auto garage. Amelia is worried about the group's supplies so suggests they go out for a supply run before working out a plan to rescue Emma. Shannon convinces the group to try out a shopping mall close by, but a man named <b>Enrique Ortiz</b> intrudes on the group. After a standoff, Enrique offers to help the group take the mall for a cut in return. The group eventually agrees to the deal and Shannon, Daniel, Amelia, and Enrique leave in Daniel's truck, leaving Polyester to look after James. Daniel reveals he never wanted Enrique to come with them, but wanted to avoid a confrontation in front of James. He kicks Enrique out of the truck on the way to the mall.</li><br/><li>Aleck wakes up and informs Gwen of the events of yesterday. He tells her he wants to save Emma, and the pair drive off.</li><br/><li>One of Haywood's soldiers tries to force himself on Jessalyn who stabs him in retaliation. It is revealed that Haywood is trading women to Tyler and his raiders for supplies. Tyler is using women for breeding stock, hoping to foster a generation of children who follow his ideals obediently. Jessalyn is very important to Levi, as Tyler will be willing to pay extra for her. The man who came on to Jessalyn, Antonio, is killed.</li><br/><li>Lynn is shoved into the arena by Tyler. He sicks walkers on her and demands to know where her friend Jessalyn is. It is revealed that Tyler and Lynn had once been lovers, but that Lynn left Tyler after he started his collection of women. When Lynn won't back down, Tyler promises that he will break her, and sends her back to her cell.</li><br/><li>Having been brought back to the hideout, Floyd is then shoved into the arena by a raider called <b>The Bull</b>. Armed with only a knife, Floyd manages to take down four walkers. This impresses Bull and the other raiders. Floyd is taken back to his cell, where the only female raider, <b>Lauren</b>, gives Floyd a ration of food. He chews her out for being with the raiders, but Lauren tells him she only does it to survive.</li><br/><li>Daniel's group arrives at the mall. Unbeknownst to them, it has already been cleared of walker's by Ash's group. Inside Target, Ash's group attacks Daniel's group. Daniel's group manages to kill two of the raiders and capture Ash, though Shannon is shot during the skirmish.</li><br/><li>Levi announces a town speech for the citizens of Haywood. At the gathering, Jessalyn sees Levi for the first time and realizes he is the father of her eventual child. She goes into shock during the speech and the doctor attempts to calm her down by taking her away from the gathering. Levi orders the doctor to be taken in for leaving during the speech. Levi informs the doctor later that this is because he left during a speech, but the doctor suggests that this is for some other reason. When the man brings up Levi's sordid dealings with the raiders, Levi kills him.</li><br/><li><b>Isidore ""Surge"" Orson</b> looks for supplies in the outskirts of Haywood. He enters the community soon after and is met by Haywood's guards. Rob also comes across Haywood.</li><br/><li>Eli arrives at the raider's hideout to discuss the next trade with Tyler. As per usual, Eli asks about his wife, who was one of the women Levi gave to the raiders. Tyler assures him his wife is happy and tells Brad to get the supplies ready for the trade. Eli leaves the hideout, fed up with it all.</li><br/><li>A young girl named <b>Katelyn ""Katie""</b> calls out for daddy from within the catacombs. It turns out her father is Tyler, who lost his wife and son in the early days of the apocalypse. He keeps Katie locked away in the hideout, sheltering her from the outside world's horrors and his own twisted schemes. Katie tells Tyler that she misses him and that she wants him to play with her. Tyler is unable to say no.</li><br/><li>A young man comes to Jessalyn and tells her that they should leave Haywood. He tells her that girls have been disappearing and that Haywood isn't safe. The young man attempts to sneak him and Jessalyn out of Haywood, but Jessalyn is caught while the young man gets away. Levi becomes fed up with Jessalyn causing trouble and he reveals to her that he plans on selling her to the raiders. Jessalyn is then held in captivity.</li><br/><li>Eli returns from the trip to the raider's hideout. He enacts a plan to overthrow Levi. With the backing of Haywood's militia, Eli reveals to the community the deal Levi has had with the raiders. Levi shoots Eli in the uproar, and the militia lock Levi into the cells. <span class=""bb-u"">Eli eventually dies from his wound.</span> Jess is freed and given a crowbar to use on Levi as she sees fit. Tied up to a chair, Levi yells at Jess. He tells her that they will still use her for supplies, even after he is gone. He then tells her to kill him, so his death is not in Haywood's hands. Tired of feeling hatred, Jess tells Levi that she forgives him.</li><br/><li><b>David Johnson</b> arrives in New Orleans with no one but his small dog companion.</li><br/><li>Defeated, Levi begins to confess to Jess. He tells her that he left her with child because he was unable to cope with the idea of bringing a kid into this new world. He tells Jess that he is sorry and begs her to let him live, for the sake of giving the child a father. Jess tells him she will help him and unties him. Levi hits her and reveals that he was lying. He tells her that there is no way they will let him live, so he may kill what begrudges him: her. After a brief struggle, <span class=""bb-u"">Jess escapes from Levi, and he is shot and killed by the guards.</span></li><br/><li>Needing to prepare for the upcoming trade, Tyler leaves Katie. He tells Bull to go ahead and offer Floyd a spot within the raiders. Tyler then meets up with Brad.</li><br/><li>The remains of Haywood decide to take down Tyler and rescue his captured women. They decide to use the upcoming trade to lure Tyler out and kill him. They recruit Rob to help them with the plan.</li><br/><li>The Bull offers Floyd to join the raiders. Wishing to instead kill the raiders, Floyd sees no other choice and joins them.</li><br/><li>Katie sneaks out of her room to find a raider named Harley stealing supplies. He realizes she's seen him so he chases after her. Katie seeks protection from Floyd, who is being shown around by Bull. Floyd sees something familiar in Katie, and In a fit of rage, Floyd attacks the man and breaks his nose. Bull takes Harley to the cells and leaves Katie under Floyd's supervision. He tells them to go to Katie's room and find Lauren.</li><br/><li>Floyd decides to take Katie to go get cleaned up. She lets slip that there is a new girl in the hideout and Floyd becomes desperate to know where this woman is, thinking she might be Jessalyn. Katie tells him that she doesn't know where she is. Floyd decides that Lauren would know where this new woman is, so he and Katie look for her.</li><br/><li>Tyler and Brad meet with <b>Robert</b>, a member of Haywood's former militia, for the deal. As the deal is done in an unorthodox place and under strange circumstances, Tyler and the raiders are put on guard. Jessalyn learns that Tyler has Lynn captured, so she tells the Haywood men to let her go quietly for now so she can see Lynn. The Haywood men begrudgingly agree and back off on assassinating Tyler, who is overjoyed to have Jess in his hands so easily.</li><br/><li>Daniel and Amelia take their prisoner, Ash, and Shannon to an abandoned building. <span class=""bb-u"">They interrogate Ash before eventually killing him.</span> They learn of Haywood, and the deal that Haywood has had with the raiders.

He tells Lynn that she is wrong about him and he takes Jessalyn away.</li><br/><li>In the deeper part of the cells, one of the raiders decides to take advantage of Emma's position. He sneaks inside and sexually assaults her, but is scared off when Bex arrives to check up on Emma. He apologizes to her and promises her that the man will be punished for what he did. Emma asks Bex to help her escape, but Bex tells her he can't do that and leaves.</li><br/><li>Tyler shows Jess to the woman's quarters. The other women are excited about a new girl, but Jess is put off by it all. Tyler then takes Jess to the arena to explain to her that it his men are the true monsters, not him. He tells her that he needs them to achieve what he wants, but that he must let them have some degree of freedom, and so he lets them have the women from time to time. Jess is not convinced by Tyler's words and is disgusted by him. Brad arrives to tell Tyler about Hex and Harley's actions. Tyler leaves to punish the men and Jess is taken back to the women's quarters.</li><br/><li>The Bull, after locking Harley up, comes across Floyd and Katie. He shows them to where Lauren is. Floyd demands that Lauren take him to the new girl and Lauren is quick to agree. It turns out that she has been unhappy with Tyler's rule for some time. As she sees Floyd as a way of potentially deposing Tyler, she shows him to the women's cells. Katie sneaks away from Bull and follows them. Floyd is initially angered that it is Lynn and not Jess, but when Lynn tells him that Jess is somewhere in the hideout, Floyd attacks Lauren, demanding she tell him where Jess is.

Robert leads a group of men to attack the front and distract the raiders while Daniel leads a group into the back. During the battle, Brad confronts Lynn and accuses her of being behind the attack. He accuses her and the women of being the reason why the raiders are in such a bad position and attacks her. As well, Daniel's group manages to rescue Emma from her cell.</li><br/><li>An explosion goes off, opening the gates to the caged walkers in the arena. The explosion was caused by Aleck, who left Gwen safely outside. The explosion rocks the hideout, giving Lynn a chance to escape from Brad. As well, Emma, being led out of the facility by a man named James, comes across Bex and asks him to escape with them. Bex tells them that he can't do that and tells them to hurry outside. They leave Bex, but run into a group of walkers. The man Emma is with is killed and his gun accidentally fires on her in the process. Emma goes unconscious from the pain.</li><br/><li>Lauren finds Katie and takes the girl under her care as they escape the hideout. They run into Bull, who Lauren asks to go with them. His love for Lauren trumping his loyalty for Tyler, Bull leaves with them.

Unfortunately, the walkers find the women and kill most of them. Floyd finds and saves Jess, then tells her they must leave immediately. Unhappy with leaving Lynn behind, Jess goes with Floyd.</li><br/><li>The battle nearing its conclusion, Lynn finds a blood soaked and weaponless Tyler. She taunts him about his plans falling apart around him and then reveals a wound she sustained in the arena, a walker scratch. Lynn reveals that she is about to turn and attacks Tyler. During the struggle, she completely turns into a walker, but is pulled off of Tyler by Brad. <span class=""bb-u"">Brad wrestles with a zombified Lynn before killing her.</span> Tyler sees that Brad was bitten by Lynn during the struggle and Brad begs him to cut off his arm. <span class=""bb-u"">Tyler instead kills Brad.</span></li><br/><li>Tyler comes across an injured Enrique and demands to know if he is bitten. Enrique manages to tell him that he is not and Tyler decides to help him. He introduces himself to Enrique as 'Tom' and proceeds to pretend that he was one of the prisoners at the hideout. The pair runs into Bex, who decides to go along with the charade. The trio escape the hideout.</li><br/><li>The sun now high in the sky, Floyd and Jess escape the hideout and head into the woods.</li><br/><li>Lauren and Bull escape with Katie into the woods. Not wanting to tell her about her father's sins, they tell the little girl that Tyler died during the battle.</li><br/><li>Emma awakes outside under the care of <b>Riley O'Connor</b>, one of Haywood's militia. He messages to Robert that Daniel's sister, Emma, has been rescued.

He tends to mistrust most people he meets. He likes to observe people, to find what he believes is beyond surface level. He presents himself a a man with no ambitions, no desires, and no cares. To those he's known for a long time, his true, more emotional self is shown.<br/><b>Brief Bio :</b>Bex had been a former geography teacher before the outbreak. He had a lovely wife named Terra and a baby daughter. Neither survived in the initial month of the apocalypse. Bex had attempted to take his life, but he couldn't end up going through with it. Bex had died along with his family, but the man had a<i>need</i>to keep on existing in this new world, like a malevolent spirit. He considers himself a ghost of his former self, only going by Bex from now on. He fell in with Tyler's group a few months later. He did what he had to do survive, and he would keep whatever company he had to to keep on doing it."

His speciality weapon is in handguns of sorts including but not limited it to Revolvers, semi auto, and full auto pistols. He can make shots count when he has to with this skill and most times he is very accurate when it comes to long distance shooting.<br/><br/>- Medium length blade play: His secondary skill is with small to medium length blades such as combat knives, machete, small swords and or any weapon that has a sharp edge and is easily mobile. He has fair defensive skill against other blades if he has too and is precise when he has to be if he has to make a death shot to his opponent.

However old style he is he is fiercely loyal to his friends and would think nothing of going into a dangerous situation to help. His thoughts an actions are controlled by his morals in life and in his mind this is all that matters is to go by his morals. Surge is also one who is rules by analytical thinking meaning he does not really believe in God but by the facts in which can be proved, seen, heard etc. He has deep seeded beliefs and often will not accept someone else s view. However because of his views and belief most people find him critical and emotionless, but in his mind he says what he feels needs to be said nothing more and nothing less. He speaks his mind when he feels the need and this can be annoying but it does not matter to him. All and all he is a guy you can trust to back you up but thats only if you can get past his older style of thinking.<br/><br/>Brief Bio : Before the outbreak Surge was a retired Government official. Some have believed that he was related to the CIA or the FBI but more often then not it was thought that he was what some might call a preventer or one who prevents terrorist attacks before they happen.</center>

<br/>Ok I Would love to be alive once more, as a raider what would I do? Like killing innocents or what?<br/>
</blockquote><br/>Your raider doesn't necessarily have to be 'evil', but he'd generally have to be okay with what the raiders get up to if he's been with them for a while. They've been up to stuff like stealing supplies from others and killing or hurting others to get what they want. They've also been keeping a 'stock' of women.<br/><br/>The raider hideout is in the underground network of catacombs under New Orleans. The raiders are about about thirty or so men and one woman. There are some some women inside the hideout being used as breeding stock and children being raised to follow the same twisted ideals as the leader Tyler.<br/><br/>There is a locked iron gate and then a network of tunnels leading to the main area of their hideout. It is separated into several areas - living areas, storage areas, armory (always guarded by two people), areas where the women and children are housed, and an arena with cages that house walkers and captives to be put in the arena to fight while raiders place bets. The tunnels vary in size. some are very wide, some are like hallways. depends on where you want to go. bigger areas (like the pit / arena) mean bigger access tunnels, whereas smaller areas (living quarters) mean smaller access tunnels.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18723/posts/ooc?page=12#post-545879"">Here's the current list of characters and who's in the raider group at the moment.</a><br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

<br/>Ok obviously Haywood is a survivor town controlled by evil men with bad intention, before my next post can someone describe this town so i can put it into my post and get myself more involved?<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>Basically, Haywood is a chain of apartments, like a comples. You've got a total of nine buildings. Five of those buildings house the tenants, meaning survivors. The other four consist of the infirmary, the mess hall, the shed (supply room) and the administrative office. When you first enter Haywood you'll see the housing buildings on your left, on your right will be everything else, excluding the administrative office, which is dead ahead at the very end. On your right it starts off with the mess hall, the infirmary, then the shed. In the center of all those buildings is a large statue of Andrew Jackson, infront of it, a podium. Also, there are fields of grass behind the tenants living quarters. This is where the plantation takes place. There are also three wells that help get water and what not. If you can picture that then you're set, if not, well, work with it."

Amelia and Daniel are both trained soldiers; and both have very well trained reflexes. Addressing the possibility of Enrique killing Amy, he's drawn his axe; which tactical axes are not like tomahawks. They are meant to be thrown. Even if he'd drawn his pistol, Daniel is the closest to the door, so he would've had to engage hand-to-hand with Daniel which could have gone any way. Had the scenario commenced where Amy had been closest to the back door, and even if he'd taken her rifle; The m4 carbine is not capable of fully automatic fire, but only semi-auto and a 3 round controlled burst. There is no possible way to determine how things would've turned out in the end.<br/><br/>Sometimes we have to get over the fact that are characters can't be 24/7 bad dudes.

She would rather spend her time surround by nature than surrounded by people. She can be very curious at times and that gets her in trouble more often than not. She is rather timid and jumps at the slightest moment or sound. She tends to become very flustered and tongue-tied around men though so she usually avoids the other gender for fear of becoming a blushing, stuttering idiot and making a fool out of herself. She is very clumsy and cant walk across a flat surface without tripping or stumbling at least once. She also hides behind her camera, trying to blend into the background and not draw any attention to herself.</center>"

Yeats</b></center><br/><br/><i>New Lilith, a towering monument to progress, a city literally caught between moving forward and in the echoes of times gone by. Skyscrapers stand side by side with elegant buildings adorned with spires and other Gothic influences. Gargoyles hang over ledges, keeping a close watch over the city below as other intricate works of stone catch the eye and attention of those who walk the manicured streets. New Lilith boosts some of the best masons in all of North America and as such the city's fine craftsmanship is one of its primary draws. This attributes to New Lilith's booming tourism industry which brings people from all over to the city nearly all year round. <br/><br/>But fine masonry and stone working is not the only draw that New Lilith has on tourists, the city itself is home to vast and rich history spanning nearly a thousand years from when the area was first mysteriously settled to its role during the Salem Witch Trials right up to the birth of the city's revolutionary hydroelectric dam. New Lilith is always constantly moving, like the great tide that crashes against its Eastern coast every day, giving power to the city through the dam. Some say the tide is like a heartbeat, pounding as it pumps life into the city, and anyone native to New Lilith would swear the city was alive. The ground moans and groans, as though it's waking up after a long slumber, stirring as it awakens once more.<br/><br/>Perhaps it's because the world is changing, twenty years ago no one would have thought of putting on a mask and taking the law into their own hands and yet in a West Coast city that is exactly what has happened. People gifted with unique abilities have begun to emerge from within the crowds, people capable of changing the course of mankind. While it may have started in the West, the effects have rippled across North America and have no washed over New Lilith, drowning the city in the rising tide. Yet the question still remains, will they usher mankind into a new era of enlightenment or plunge it into the shadows of the dark ages. <br/><br/></i><center>Only time will tell...</center><br/><br/><center><b>|</b> <span class=""bb-u"">Chapter I: <i>The Fool</i></span> <b>|</b></center><hr/>Thursday, October 31, 2013<hr/>The overly cheerful chime of the alarm was possibly the most unwelcome noise that Addison Winter Caspian could imagine at this very moment as it disturbed her sleep, permeating every square inch of her skull. Dragging the covers over her as she buried her head beneath the over-sized pillow, Winter audibly groaned as she realized the darkness which she embraced to sleep had been violated by the constant flickering of daylight as it slithered between the mangled blinds on her window. After a struggle lasting a whole five minutes, Winter finally reluctantly surrender to the alarm as she rolled over and hit the button, the looming display almost seemed like some hellish abomination as the red numbers angrily stared back at her.<br/><br/><i>'9:45? Already? Seriously I feel like it was 3am half an hour ago.</i>A groan escaped her lips as she flopped back over on the bed, spreading out to allow the bed to consume her as the young woman stared at the antique ceiling above her head.<br/><br/><i>'What day is it even? Do I have class? Please say it's Friday, oh I pray to whatever higher power there may be that it's Friday.'</i>Her inner monologue went on, as she sat up and reached for her cellphone only to let out a cry of anguish upon reading the screen realizing that not only was it not Friday, but it was also Hallowe'en. That mean the 'Cauldron was going to be a gong show later.<br/><br/>""At least I'm not working."" She grumbled to herself as she swung her legs over the edge of the King sized bed, feeling around with her feet for her slippers before standing up. Tugging at her tanktop, she looked down remembering she had been too tired for pajamas and had slept in her underwear, silently cursing as she remembered her blinds didn't really protect her privacy. Scrambling to her closet as the wooden floor beneath her creaked and moaned with age, Winter pulled out a robe and quickly threw it over her. Making her way to the bathroom she nearly did a double take as her reflection looked like it was already dressed for this evening. Winter had forgotten to remove her makeup from the day before and now it, combined with the mess of hair atop her head gave her a look that could probably turn a gorgon to stone.<br/><br/><i>'Ugh.'</i><br/>Reaching over the claw foot bathtub, Winter turned the tap and began to run the hot water, ensuring her shower would be more than warm enough before she undressed. Pulling a fresh towel out of the nearby closet, Winter peeled off what few clothes she had on before stepping into the baptism of hot water as it rained down on her seemingly washing away all her stress of tiredness. Winter was a firm believing that a hot shower was better than any cup of coffee in the morning.<br/><br/><center>~ ~ ~</center><br/><br/>After the hot water tank had been drained and about an hour after that, Winter finally emerged from the bathroom, only her robe between her and any would be peepers across the street as she moved back into her bedroom. After quickly throwing on her usual attire of jeans and a tank top, Winter decided she had best check in on her emails ensuring that she hadn't missed anything from the class that took place while she had taken her shower. Her stomach growled as she sat down at the small desk and opened the laptop, the first reminder that she hadn't eaten yet this morning.<br/><br/><i>'12:30, fuck!'</i>Or rather this afternoon as the case was currently. She shook her head at the time as she opened her inbox, noticing a rather large amount of emails from 'Facbook'.<br/><br/>""Don Macintosh has added you as a friend, Charles Glover... Fredrick Hattin... Who are these people? Fuckin' creepers."" Winter muttered as she leaned back in her chair, selecting all the emails and hitting delete. Clicking open a new tab, she logged into her Facebook and quickly 'ignored' the same friend requests. ""Preferred when it said rejected. Bunch of stupid boys."" She noted most of them attended Hobbes, which meant they had seen her in class or something like that and figured she was cute so they could add her.<br/><br/><i>'The least they could have done was talk to me first.'</i>Her stomach suddenly growled again prompting Winter to close the laptop and grab her leather jacket off the back of the door before locking up her apartment and heading downstairs. Coming out into the hallway, Winter nearly collided with a wall of orange and black balloons. Her body started to phase through the balloons but the sound of another person caused Winter to step back, remaining solid as she looked around the floating wall.<br/><br/>""Good afternoon Winter!"" Came a male voice from behind the balloons as one of her coworkers poked her head out.<br/><br/>""Hey Scott,"" Winter responded with a small wave. She really wasn't in the mood for letting small talk to stop her from grabbing a bite to eat. But she knew Scott, and he'd want to talk. ""Serena got you setting up for tonight already?"" She asked, moving around the balloons and slowly moving towards the Stein and Cauldron's exit.<br/><br/>""Yeah buddy, Ravencroft's favourite holiday tonight. I thought you'd know that. You've been here over a year haven't you?""<br/><br/>""Eight months I think,"" Winter said turning towards the door only to let out a silent sigh of exasperation as Scott continued the conversation.<br/><br/>""Oh well, you fit in so well, it's like you've always been here."" He smiled wide as he looked at Winter who hid her annoyance quickly.<br/><br/><i>Please tell me he is not flirting with me.</i>""Hey Scott I was ju...""<br/><br/>""So are you working tonight?"" His voice quickly spoke over Winter he nearly caused her lip to bleed as she bit down on it in frustration. Her angry stomach growling loudly under her jacket.<br/><br/>""No I'm not."" She answered flatly turning to leave as Scott continued to talk.<br/><br/>""Well you should come out anyways! I mean, you won't get to sleep with the party happening below your bed.""<br/><br/>""I think I'll stay at a friend's!"" Winter called back trying to ignore the cynic in her head.<i>Friends, what's that, someone else to let get close so they can stab you in the back.</i><br/><br/>""Uh well, maybe you and I could get a bite to eat sometime."" Scott added as Winter exited the building.<br/><br/><i>And there's the date invitation.</i>She shook her head as she walked around to the alley, and lifted up the door to the garage that Serena let her store her bike in while she rented the apartment above the pub. Pulling the powerful machine out, Winter closed the door, replacing the lock before climbing onto the hog and relishing the sound of the engine purring between her legs as it drowned out the recent memories of Scott's babbling. Sliding her helmet onto her head, Winter kicked off, gliding the bike into a perfect merge with the steady stream of traffic before revving the engine and ripping between lanes as she left the Bazaar behind.<br/><br/><center>~ ~ ~</center><br/><br/>The Western part of the city was also was such a stark contrast from the Central district. It was almost as though Winter had traveled through time as she rode her trusty Harley from beneath the shadows of Gothic architecture to that of the recognizable golden arches. Turning off the busy road, Winter pulled into a Fuddruckers, deciding to splurge a little for a much better burger. Being raised in a biker gang might have a lot of draw backs, but one definitely develops an appreciation for quality a meat. An appreciation that can not be met by McDonald's, but Fuddruckers did a pretty good at coming up to the bar. Winter bit down into the freshly prepared burger, savouring the flavour of the meat with the wonderful accents of the toppings that she had so generously piled on it. Taking a breather to nibble on a few fries and take a sip of her pineapple juice, Winter noticed an abandoned newspaper lying on the now empty table adjacent to hers. The headline emblazoned across it was rather eye catching as it read 'Superhumans Among Us?'. Looking around to ensure no one was watching, Winter held out her hand calling the paper to it as it flew off the table and firmly into her grip. Chewing slowly as she read, Winter found herself strangely relieved in knowing there were plenty more people out in the world just like her. While she'd never be brazen enough to dress in a costume and use her powers to stop crime, at least she wasn't a one of a kind freak anymore. The article reference several videos from YouTube which were filmed in Kilbride, some apparently large city that Winter had never heard of. Probably because it was on the other side of the country in Washington state. Either way, it appeared a group of superpowered individuals stopped a bank robbery, the article detailed that since that night nearly two and a half weeks ago, the 'vigilantes' had been seen more and more frequently. Flipping the page, Winter continued to read after see another interesting article. Apparently there's recent string of diamond robberies in New Lilith which the police can't seem to pin down any leads on. The only 'evidence' evidence that's been found consistently at all the crime scenes so far appears to be small puddles of water. Which while odd, didn't exactly provide any leads.<br/><br/><i>'Perhaps New Lilith could use some vigilante justice.'</i>Winter rolled her eyes at the thought as she finished her meal and stood up, dumping her tray into the garbage before leaving the establishment."

Riding towards me, garbed in red armor and wearing a scarlet BMX helmet, was my target. He had a package kept in a container slung over his back like a quiver, little did he realize that it would soon belong to me. As he approached my position, maintaining his speed and course, blazing down the trail, I pushed off the tips of my toes and leapt through the air, pouncing towards the rider. My cape caught the wind and made a distinct crack that ensured I wouldn't drop down to the dirt path below.<br/><br/>I began to rise through the air, gracefully gliding under the cover of night, casting an extra dark shadow on the path below as I pursued the rider. Once I was directly above him, he looked up, completely taken off-guard by the sudden darkness that shrouded him. He saw my form hovering over him like an eagle chasing a mouse, so I dropped, and as I got closer I forced his heart to beat like a gatling gun. He screamed and tried to change his path, but it was already too late. I dropped from the sky above him and used his armored body and bike to break my fall. Upon landing, I heard the unmistakable sound of a breaking leg and the scream that follows.<br/><br/>""Gaaah! Oh Ga-"" my gloved fist clapped his cheek and silenced him.<br/><br/>""Where are the others!"" I roared, imitating Christian Bale's Batman performance as best I could.<br/><br/>""They-they're.. they're coming,"" he said, raising his finger and pointing over my shoulder<br/><br/>I spun around to see what he was talking about, but all I saw was a bat racing towards my face. I heard a resounding <b>Whap</b> and dropped to the ground, my eyes fading to a closr as I drifted out of agony and into the embrace of a reluctant slumber.</i><hr/><b>New Lilith Vocational Academy; 1:35 PM</b><hr/>""Wake up, Castle!"" My eyes instantly snapped open as I saw a rolled-up magazine pulled away from my now stinging face.<br/><br/>I'd apparently fallen asleep in class again, with<i>Simon</i>in the desk to my left, and<i>Jessica Morgan</i>in the one to my right. She sneered at me with flared nostrils and slitted eyes. Typical. Instead of continually trying to kill me with her eyes, she directed me to our ever lecturing public educator.<br/><br/>""...and that, class, is why no one actually killed George Washington and he lived with his wife for many, many years before he, like everyone else succumbed to death. Now class, clear off your desks except for a pencil.""<br/><br/>I pulled my hands off of my cheeks, which had been holding my head up, and began to pat myself down, looking for a pencil. I slowly explored all my pockets and anxiously shifted in my seat while I hoped that I just had one. Even one would've been fantastic. But, C'est la Vie.<br/><br/>""Having a good time with your hands?"" Jessica chided as she referenced the way I was feeling for a pencil. I didn't have a good comeback, so I huffed and turned my head.<br/><br/>I reached over and softly rapped my knuckles on Simon's desk, ""Hey, buddy?""<br/><br/>Barely raising an eyebrow, Simon tossed the pencil off his desk onto mine before pulling another from a pocket on the leg of his jeans. He then crossed his arms and firmly refused to acknowledge my existence as he picked up his history book and journals, sliding them off the desk and setting them on the floor while the teacher began to make his way around the room, depositing tests onto every single student's desk, one at a time.<br/><br/>It almost makes me wish I'd studied. Almost.<br/><br/>Fortunately, luck was on my side. Simon always knew the answers, even though he never studied. Sitting next to him I should have no problem passing this class. Well, that always was my theory. I bit my lip as I anxiously awaited the arrival of my test. Then I decided that everyone else should share my pain.<br/><br/>I looked at my desk, casually I began to tap the pencil I'd borrowed, creating a steady beat. Then, I extended my awareness a little bit, feeling Simon's steady and relaxed heart beating like a healthy teen's should. I made sure he wouldn't get too comfortable. So I sped it up a little bit. His foot began to anxiously tap as he lost his cool. But he didn't lose his focus.<br/><br/>Jolting, he spun his neck towards me and whisper-screamed, ""Stop it,"" firmly announcing his will through gritted teeth.<br/><br/>So I eased off, and let him steadily transition back to a regular beat when the teacher finally got to me. He stopped and eyed me for a second, venting his disgust at my very existence before he dropped the paper on the edge of my desk and walked away. I looked at my paper and came upon a horrific revelation: It was an essay.<br/><br/>So, surrendering to my fate, I wrote three words on the paper:<i>I Don't Know.</i>Then, I flipped the paper over and rested my head on the desk before I waited for class to end. Minutes later Simon did the same, turning his wonderfully written miniature article onto it's face.<i>God</i>, he can be<i>such a nerd.</i>Immediately after his paper was turned over, he produced a pencil from his pocket and took his nails, scratching his fingernails along it's many faces, then he set it on the ground before rolling it to my shoes.<br/><br/>Casually picking up the pencil that had strayed from my friend's possession, I gave it a quick look over. Using his nail, he'd etched a message into the side of the pencil.<i>Clever of him.</i>It read:<br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>My place.<br/>after school. I<br/>have something<br/>for you. You are<br/>gonna love this.</i></div><br/><br/>I took the pencil and, using the pencil sharpener, destroyed the message by grinding the wooden pencil to the point where the tip was hardly an extension of the eraser."

A magazine over his face, and a couple cans of soda on the floor. He hadn't gotten put into school yet, that hell would be starting tomorrow for him. He didn't mind school in itself, he just knew that someone, somehow, was gonna piss him off. People always had a tendency to do so.<br/><br/>Jason rubbed his face, as he shook awake again, to the banging on the door, he lazily looked at the clock, which read a quarter past five. ""Shit!"" The young man let out, as he dashed off of the coach, taking off the dirty wifebeater he was wearing, plucking up a<i>less dirty</i>shirt, that he put on as he headed to the door.<br/><br/>He opened the door, revealing the 6'2 African American who was his parole officer. ""Ah. Jeffster, my pal."" The boy's tone being sprinkled with sarcasm.<br/><br/>""You know damn well it's Jeff, so cut the crap Campbell."" The man, about a decade and a half older than Jason himself, Jeff was in his early 30's, and ex-con who turned his life around.<br/><br/>""Yes, sir."" Jason said with a smile. The two didn't know each other very well, having only been chatting a few times in the past two weeks that Jason's spent in Lilith. This was the second time this week, fifth time in total Jeff they had a 'meet', first time it wasn't at a diner or other place to get food.<br/><br/>Jason nodded for Jeff to come inside. He headed to the kitchen to grab himself something to drink.<br/>""I didn't cook anything, you want a beer"" The Texan said, his tone was taunting Jeff, whom he knew was a former alcoholic.<br/><br/>""You really do like starting shit, don't you, Mr.Campbell?"" Jeff asked him, his voice was tired, as he walked into the apartment, taking off his jacket, looking around. ""Nice place, don't you ever clean?""<br/><br/>""Who's starting shit now?"" Jason said from the kitchen. Jeff let out a soft scoff. ""You have a coke?""<br/><br/>""Pepsi okay?""<br/>""Sure.""<br/>""What kinda freak are you, Jeff?"" Jason said, walking out of the kitchen with two cold cans of cola, tossing one of them swiftly to the older male. Jeff just shook his head.<br/><br/>""You are aware you're starting school tomorrow, right?"" His tone was serious, as he opened the can.<br/>""Sorry, but I can't take you serious while you're drinking soda. Just doesn't fit you."" Jason told him, with a grin, walking towards the second room, the living room which doubled as Jason's bedroom.<br/><br/>He pulled up a chair for Jeff. ""Like I said, cut the crap, Jason.""<br/><br/>""Call me J-Dog."" He retorted, before shaking his head. ""I know that I've got school tomorrow. Looking quite forward to it, too.""<br/><br/>""You do realize you can't get into trouble, or it'll have dire consequences for you, right?"" Jeff told Jason, whom nodded. ""I get it. I break someone's nose, I'll get hauled right back into Juvie.""<br/><br/>""That'd be correct, yes.""<br/><br/>""But kneecaps are fair game,<i>right?""</i>"

Her tote bag bumped her leg for every stride she took and a few untamed locks of hair peeking out from beneath her hat tickled the back of her neck irritatingly as the breeze ruffled them, and her sweater was a little too cloying for this heat...but she didn't pay any of it any mind. Jethro had asked her out, and she was suprisingly and exceedingly happy about it. Despite her confusion as to their 'status' after their nights out, and her attempts to be aloof and separate from previous experiences with emotion out of some naive attempt at maturity - she liked Jethro. He was cute, and funny, and he dressed well and smelt nice and pushed her hair up and back in a particular way she liked very much but could never replicate. She smiled again with renewed fervor as she stepped into her flat block and then called the elevator.<br/><br/>The doors opened to Kitty's form on the other side, and she looked up from her phone with ever-so-slightly pouting lips (perfectly red with porcelain foundation, a Snow White look Alex knew she wore when she felt homesick) and broke form into a smirk as Alex grinned back at her.<br/>""You look sickeningly cheery, child. Did someone you hate die?"" Alex didn't stop grinning, but she did shake her head as she swapped places with Kitty.<br/>""Jet asked me over for dinner."" She said, and the doors closed before Kitty could reply with more than a raised eyebrow and another smirk.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>Up in their apartment, Alex locked the door behind her - Kitty had a key - and dumped her bag on the kitchen counter, walking around the table into the attached living area, flumping down on the sofa and looking at the clock that sat on top of the television. Ten past three. Three hours and fifty minutes. Three and a half before she had to leave. She sat in contemplation for a few seconds, and then got up again. She had time.<br/><br/>She went to her room and shut the door, closing the latch. She made sure her window was shut tight and secure and then drew her curtains before stepping over to her desk and plugging her phone into her speakers, turning them up as she began to play music. With the scene set, Alex retreated to her bed.<br/><br/>Sat atop her covers, legs crossed and pillow laid across her lap, she rested her hands on it palms up, and closed her eyes. Breathing slow, she let herself feel the weight of the air on her palms, feel the rush of breath in and out of her. She felt the buzzing of the molecules and then a spark, and she exhaled, her breath becoming thick and gray as the same smoke began to slowly roll from her palms and spill down the pillow onto her bed, eventually reaching the floor. From there it got easier, and the smoke spread faster, rising by itself off the floor and expanding, worming through the air in a way similar to lightning until Alex's entire bedroom, from wall to floor to wall to ceiling, was filled with her smoke. She moved the pillow from her lap and swung her legs over the edge of her bed, standing and pacing around her room. She swung her arms and watched as the smoke moved around her and then re-settled. She felt comfortable, and she moved her hand toward and away from her face, watching it disappear into the fog, her arm a fading stump.<br/><br/>Something banged on her window and she jumped, and the smoke instantly fell to the floor and dissipated immediately, no thought being held to its upkeep. Alex swallowed and breathed, the effort of sustaining her radius always surprising her. She moved over the window and peeled back the curtain, peering into the courtyard below. Oli was standing with his hands on his hips, nose scrunched as he looked up. He waved and pointed at the door, and then walked towards it as Alex disappeared from view.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>He was in the apartment within 5 minutes and comfortable within ten, splayed out on the sofa as Alex fixed two cups of tea. She brought them over carefully, shooing his feet off the coffee table as she did so, and sat in a chair opposite. He sipped, blew, sipped again, smiled, and then put it down on a coaster. He looked up at Alex and grinned.<br/>""I passed Kitty on the way."" He said, and Alex groaned, dropping her head into her hands and peeking through her fingers. There was a smile there, Oli knew, but she was being melodramatic for the sake of amusement. ""Know what you're wearing?""<br/>Alex looked up. ""No. Nothing<i>too</i>nice. I like him but I don't wanna seem..."" Oli smirked. He knew what she meant. ""But I can't just wear what I always wear, then it looks like I don't care at all. And my clubbing stuff is too slutty..."" Oli gasped.<br/>""Your clubbing fashion is hot as hell, girl. I know what you should wear."" With that, Oli set his half-drained mug down on the table and jumped up, rushing to Alex's room. She raised an eyebrow and did the same.<br/><br/>She found him standing in front of her wardrobe, holding something she couldn't quite see. He turned and threw it at her and she saw that it was one of her shirts, a silver sheen one she wore on nights out. Oli bent down and opened a drawer, grabbing a bodycon skirt and throwing that at her as well.<br/>""There you go. Black or silver pumps and some skimpy underwear and you'll do wonders. Classy, but the skirt makes your butt look hella good."" Alex chuckled, and nodded, folding the ensemble and putting them on her bed.<br/>""Lovely. You always come through for me, Oli."" He shrugged and pretended to shoo off her compliment.<br/>""It's what I'm here for. So what has he got planned for you two then?"" He asked, and Alex knew that it addressed the specifics of the night and the broader situation. She shrugged in reply.<br/>""He's cooking for me, apparently. No flatmates -"" Oli raised his eyebrows and smirked, Alex grinning as she continued- ""and he got an advance of weed from his dealer for a favour.""<br/>""Dumb dealer."" Oli said, sniffing and leaving the room to get back to his unfinished mug of tea. Alex followed.<br/>""Or a good favour."" And they both chuckled.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>Five'o'clock by the time Oli left, three mugs later. Kitty had come back at half past four and waved as she passed on the way to her room - she always studied for an hour after a lecture. Alex had received a text from Tré - who had also heard from Kitty, and who had wished her 'good luck' and a passing joke about her 'little sister growing up so fast' - and then gone back to her room, undressing and then taking a shower.<br/><br/>Half past five. Alex did her hair, taming it as much as she could without chopping bits off, and holding it in place with clips and hair spray, and then her makeup. Ten to six. She got dressed, tights, skirt, shirt - buttons, tuck in - shoes. She stepped out of her room back to the living area and stood infront of the full-length mirror Kitty had propped up against the wall. Oli was right, it did have an element of class. And the skirt<i>did</i>make her butt look good. Six'o'clock. Alex had a beer. Ten past six. She had some water. Quarter past. She went to the loo. Twenty. Twenty-five.<br/><br/>She jumped when Kitty cleared her throat from the doorway.<br/>""Just go. You look great. If something like you turned up on<i>my</i>doorway a few minutes early, I probably wouldn't begrudge it too much.""<br/>Alex smiled. ""That was almost something nice, Kitty."" She remarked, and Kitty smiled back.<br/>""Almost,"" she replied, ""so leave before I have to balance it out."" They chuckled. Alex left."
18529,New Lilith: Shadows of Darkness,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18761-new-lilith-shadows-of-darkness,['Advanced'],2014-04-05 13:12:00,Enarr,"<center><b>|_______Trial_by_Failure_______|<br/>|____Starring:_Drake_Castle___|</b></center><hr/><b>The Dellinger Residence; 3:45 PM</b><hr/>Vvvvrr<i>rrrrrooomm</i>! The sound of my motorcycle was deafening as I blasted down the nigh-empty roadway. The clear blue sky stood out against the pavement, something I hadn't seen enough of lately. Between classes, homework, and having a life, the time I had to ride as free as a bird had been eaten like a plastic bag drenched in gasoline.<br/><br/>But enough complaining. For now, at least. My friend,<i>scratch that</i>, I meant classmate. My classmate<i>Simon Dellinger</i>is an uber nerd who wants me to use my 'super powers' to do something spectacular. And he doesn't seem to care that it involves me getting shot at. A lot.<br/><br/>Only god knows why,<i>and he isn't telling</i>, but for some reason I have a two-fold superpower. Using my willpower, I can speed up or slow down how fast other people's hearts beat. The other thing: I can release a gas that is like a temporary steroid from my pores. It's a curse, or so I'd like to think. Simon thinks it's a gift to sweat out steroids.<br/><br/>Seeing two hills, covered in trees on the roadside, interrupted my ride. Pulling over from the center of the road, I leaned into a narrow stone-paved driveway that was placed between the hills, and rolled down it's path for about a quarter mile. While following the path, I passed through a thick woods that just barely kept it's distance from the trail. The sun was hardly visible behind the treetops that hung over the course.<br/><br/>But then I saw the house. At the end of the drive, it looked like the light that people see at the end of tunnels. Bathed in golden sunshine, the manor looked like it could've housed the president, if not then at least the first lady when she needed a getaway. But, jeez, I mean there were pillars that held a pointed roof over the veranda. As I drove closer, unlike most most buildings in the city, it actually looked more appealing as I got closer. It felt like I was staring at a museum piece, like I should avoid touching it and instead simply try to recreate it on a pad of paper.<br/><br/>Tossing that instinct aside, I threw my legs over the seat of my bike and swung off the bike entirely, leaving it parked in a circular-designed stone driveway behind a Rolls-Royce, a Crossfire, and something that could only be summarized as a stryker. With eight wheels, a black paint job, and a shell of stacked plates, I couldn't help but get a closer look. Casually strolling towards it, I walked in front of it, only to be surprised by what I saw. The cockpit had room for one person, I always thought tanks and things needed a whole crew. I set my hand and felt the cool metal, sliding my hand against it's smooth, matte surface.<br/><br/>""Are you done, yet?"" A familiar voice interrupted my experience with the most amazing car I'd ever seen, let alone touched. For that question, only one answer even starts to make sense. Coming from the doorway to his home, it continued to vex me, ""You're just standing there, feeling my dad's car up.""<br/><br/>""No,"" I said. ""I haven't begun to feel this car up."" I said, raising my head to look at Simon before pulling my hand and fingers off the armored urban vehicle. As I stepped away from it, and came up to a short set of stairs that grew narrower as I grew closer to the door, I asked the question that was on my mind. ""Can we use that? I mean, if someone had that, and I were a criminal, I would<i>so</i>find a new job."" As I finished approaching the door, Simon cocked his head and stuffed his tongue into his cheek before reluctantly answering.<br/><br/>""Nah. I thought about it myself, but my dad would recognize it in a<i>heartbeat</i>. It's too unique for anything, really, except openly blowing stuff up,"" he paused. ""But I've got something that is far more useful at this point, anyways.""<br/><br/>With a smile, he spun his fingers, motioning for me to follow him, as he turned around and ran through his house, dropping the door on me as I slipped through the comparatively miniature entryway to the gargantuan estate. As soon as I'd gotten around the door, I spotted Simon bolting down the narrow foyer, passing the grandiose lobby that resembled a ball room, and climbing a staircase on the right side that had a parallel one on the left. Once at the top, he stopped and looked back down at me.<br/><br/>""Come on, dude! I know for a fact that you can go faster than that,"" He playfully squealed as he rested at the top.<br/><br/>I could. At this point I was just jogging through the foyer, briefly admiring the many splashes of art on every wall. It was obviously carefully arranged so that it was awe inspiring every possible direction that one might turn their head, yet it majestically still managed to completely avoid a gaudy appearance.<i>Psshh. Rich people.</i><br/><br/>Finally, I made my way through the lobby and up the stairs. I took each step with the infamous touch of a tortoise, easing slowly between steps and pretending it required a great deal of balance.<br/><br/>""Drake, hurry up! I'll give you a tour later. But hurry up for right now.""<br/><br/>""Meh."" Shrugging my shoulders, I gave in. ""Why not."" My feet rolled up the steps, cycling like a set of well oiled gears as my hand slid up the mahogany rail and my feet pushed off red carpet that lavishly covered the staircase. ""I'm comin', Simon. Where are we going anyways?""<br/><br/>""The back,"" he said, leaving a hint of mystery in his words before he took off again, right as I reached the climax of the staircase.<br/><br/>He jogged towards a pair of doors that rested in between the parallel staircases on a small, yet elegant platform. Then, shoving both the doors in, made his way through a hall that had countless doors on either side until we came to another large ballroom. Following closely behind him, I watched as he took us to an elevator nested in the corner of the room.<br/><br/>""Going down,"" he said as the mechanical door spread open. With a mock curtsy, he jested ""Ladies first.""<br/><br/>As I stepped into the elevator I made a snarky comeback that obviously hit him harder than I meant for it too. ""Dude, you couldn't get a<i>lady</i>if you tried. That's why you're in an elevator with me.""<br/><br/>A look of shock came over Simon's face before he huffed and crossed his arms. He impatiently tapped his feet against the floor as he anxiously whispered a countdown to the ride's end. Then, the elevator dinged and the door made a puff as it spread from the wall. Aside from the bulb in the elevator, there wasn't a single source of light. But without a second thought, he cut in front of me and stepped into the expansive shadow. Smacking his hand against the nearest wall, he felt for a light switch before flipping it.<br/><br/>""Dude, where are we?"" I asked with amazement saturating my words.<br/><br/>""Welcome to my basement."" He plainly said, stepping out from my view of the large empty space. Everywhere I looked there was concrete so smooth that it looked like it had never been used. The only thing that made it believable that it was an actual basement was the fact that there was a car in pieces against one wall next to scattered tools.<br/><br/>""Is this what I think it is?"" I asked, clasping my hands together and grinning hard. ""A.. Bat-cave?""<br/><br/>""No,"" he said, bluntly disillusioning me. ""That would be over here,"" he said, strolling towards a door in the corner opposite to this one.<br/><br/>The door he led me to was cast iron. Dense and visibly durable, Simon had to press his entire against it to press it forward. On the inside, a dulled lightbulb illuminated a small room of cobwebs, pipes, and water heaters against the wall. The floor was grated and had rails, keeping me and Simon about two feet away from the utilities on either side. With an obvious sense of direction, he opened one last door at the edge of the Boiler Room and showed me what looked like a living room, including a TV and couch.<br/><br/>""This is your Batcave,"" Simon said as he raised his arms. ""This used to be a room for the butler to live in. But, since he moved out and my parents don't have a need to replace him, this has been empty for months. Admittedly it's an odd thing to do, building an apartment under a mansion, but mom and dad liked the idea. Down here, there are no doors, except for the bathroom and closets,"" he said, taking me through it. ""You have a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a work space.""<br/><br/>Taking me to a section of the apartment that resembled the main basement, he pointed around it and towards a garage-style door that was against it's farthest wall. ""This is where I'd expect you to do most of your work. You can keep a costume, a car, trophies, and other stuff in here, as well as building things and.. research. Yeah, that's it, I think.""<br/><br/>I would've responded, but I was too busy being impressed by the space.<br/><br/>""I even have a costume ready for you. And a van we can work in. Wanna' see them?""<br/><br/>Swallowing my saliva and forcing a stop to my grin, I whimpered, ""Yes."""

Skyscrapers stand side by side with elegant buildings adorned with spires and other Gothic influences. Gargoyles hang over ledges, keeping a close watch over the city below as other intricate works of stone catch the eye and attention of those who walk the manicured streets. New Lilith boosts some of the best masons in all of North America and as such the city's fine craftsmanship is one of its primary draws. This attributes to New Lilith's booming tourism industry which brings people from all over to the city nearly all year round. <br/><br/>But fine masonry and stone working is not the only draw that New Lilith has on tourists, the city itself is home to vast and rich history spanning nearly a thousand years from when the area was first mysteriously settled to its role during the Salem Witch Trials right up to the birth of the city's revolutionary hydroelectric dam. New Lilith is always constantly moving, like the great tide that crashes against its Eastern coast every day, giving power to the city through the dam. Some say the tide is like a heartbeat, pounding as it pumps life into the city, and anyone native to New Lilith would swear the city was alive. The ground moans and groans, as though it's waking up after a long slumber, stirring as it awakens once more.<br/><br/>Perhaps it's because the world is changing, twenty years ago no one would have thought of putting on a mask and taking the law into their own hands and yet in a West Coast city that is exactly what has happened. People gifted with unique abilities have begun to emerge from within the crowds, people capable of changing the course of mankind. While it may have started in the West, the effects have rippled across North America and have no washed over New Lilith, drowning the city in the rising tide.

<br/>New Lilith experiences a humid continental climate, with warm, humid summers, cold, wet winters, and uniform precipitation all year. The climate of the southeastern portion is moderated by the Atlantic Ocean and averages relatively milder and wetter weather, while the northern and interior portions experience cooler temperatures and lower humidity. Winters are cold and snowy throughout the state, and especially severe in the northern and mountainous areas. Average annual snowfall ranges from 60 inches (150 cm) to over 100 inches (250 cm) across the state.<br/><br/>Average daytime highs are in the mid 70s°F to low 80s°F (around 24–28 °C) throughout the state in July, with overnight lows in the mid 50s°F to low 60s°F (13–15 °C). January temperatures drop to an average high of 34 °F (1 °C) on the coast. Average annual precipitation statewide is roughly 40 inches (100 cm) with some variation occurring in the White Mountains outside of New Lilith. New Hampshire's highest recorded temperature was 106 °F (41 °C), while the lowest recorded temperature was −47 °F (−44 °C) atop Mount Washington.<br/> <br/>Extreme snow is often associated with the North East, such as the Blizzard of '78 and the Blizzard of 1993, when several feet accumulated across portions of the state over 24 to 48 hours. Lighter snowfalls of several inches occur frequently throughout winter, often associated with an Alberta Clipper. New Lilith, on occasion, is affected by hurricanes and tropical storms although by the time they reach the state they are often extratropical. The city averages fewer than 20 days of thunderstorms per year and an average of two tornadoes occur annually statewide.<br/><br/>The shoreline is generally very rocky and rough in nature, although a few sandy beaches have been created using jetties/groins, New Lilith is home to a notable sandy beach. The city is in the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome, thus the area surrounding New Lilith is covered by the conifers and northern hardwoods of the New England-Acadian forests. The southeast corner of the city are covered by the mixed oaks of the Northeastern coastal forests. The typical structure of these forests includes four layers. The uppermost layer is the canopy composed of tall mature trees ranging from 33 to 66 m (100 to 200 feet) high. Below the canopy is the three-layered, shade-tolerant understory that is roughly 9 to 15 m (30 to 50 feet) shorter than the canopy. The top layer of the understory is the sub-canopy which is composed of smaller mature trees, saplings, and suppressed juvenile canopy layer trees awaiting an opening in the canopy. Below the sub-canopy is the shrub layer, composed of low growing woody plants. Typically the lowest growing (and most diverse) layer is the ground cover or herbaceous layer. Characteristic dominant broadleaf trees in this biome include oaks, beeches, maples, and birches. The term ""mixed forest"" comes from the inclusion of coniferous trees as a canopy component of these forests. Typical coniferous trees include: Pines, firs, and spruces. <br/>

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Legend tells of an ancient coastal town located in England that was erected and named in honor of the daemon Lilith. This prosperous town was filled with her followers, most of whom were females. Though the men worshipped Lilith as well, she never responded to their cries, the women however were greeted by her tender voice and soon the women of the town would meet together to call upon the Daemon Queen. These meetings took place in secret where the women were enlightened by gentle whispers which bestowed upon them the knowledge of manipulating nature in the form of magick. The women met religiously to practice the arts of their mistress in private, afraid of what the men of the village would do if they found out the powers the woman had been taught by the whispers in the dark while their cries were left unanswered. <br/><br/>The town eventually fell to a Viking raid, as the invaders from the North came ashore, cutting down the men who rose to defend the town. The vikings razed the town, killing the children and livestock while they rounded up the frightened women, binding them and dragging them back to their longboats. Loading the woman on board, the Vikings pushed off and began to set sail for home, and perhaps the woman would have ended up in Denmark had the Captain not gotten anxious and decided to force himself on the youngest among them. Not willing to be raped or beaten into submission as the VIkings had planned for them, the woman turned on their captor, reaching out to the power Lilith had taught her as she drained the life from the man before her. Drawing their weapons, the other Vikings turned on the woman, only for her sisters to follow her lead and rise up, freeing themselves as they destroyed the men who opposed them. <br/><br/>Despite having freed themselves, the women had never left their town before the day they had been captured let alone sailed a ship. Calling once again on Lilith, the women could only hope she could save them. Though many days and nights passed over their heads and the Vikings' rations depleted, the women were awoke one day as the Longboat ran aground. Starved, dehydrated and sick, they ventured onto the land where Lilith taught them how to renew their strength in the vast resources before them. They learned to hunt, they learned to survive as Lilith showed them the way and the woman soon put together a settlement. Eventually they came in contact with the aboriginals who inhabited the land and through Lilith's magick, learned to communicate with them.Brokering deals with the natives, the women soon established a settlement of their own as they rebuilt what they had lost. They all eventually made a home and married men who they met on the land and the settlement flourished and prospered for many generations.<br/><br/>As the settlement grew into a village which grew into a town, the people named it New Lilith, after the supernatural power the woman believed had guided them to their new home. However while the town continued to flourish, peace would not last long as New Hampshire fell into the conflicts of the Witch Trials. These trials brought angry colonists from all around the state and the adjacent ones into New Lilith where they attempted to stamp out every last witch and worshipper of Lilith. Part of the town was razed during the trials only for it to be rebuilt. During the eighteenth century, new colonist came to New Lilith, bringing within the Gothic Architecture Revival as the town was slowly transformed using stone from the nearby mountains to create the grand historical buildings which still stand today. The stone removal site was eventually made into a quarry which like the stone buildings, remains in operation. <br/><br/>But architecture was not the only industry which flourished as the townspeople began to build mills and harvest the lush lumber from the forests which surrounded the city. This industry would continue to grow and flourish lasting through the Civil War before dying off in the late Nineties. As the lumber industry began to lose its profitable front, New Lilith had to turn to another industry in order to keep the city afloat. Turning back to its quarry, New Lilith began exporting masonry. As the renown of the stone works grew, people began to venture to the city to see the stone work which ignited the tourism industry. The city's wealth grew and it began to once again flourish in a way it hadn't in years, since the city was untouched throughout the Civil War, and both World Wars, it's history remained in pristine condition. Now New Lilith functions as both a time capsule and an industry and tourism city.

<a class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""The Districts"" href=""#"">The Districts [+]</a>
</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Central:</span></b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><br/><b>The Spires:</b> The Spires is the oldest area of the city consisting of an ancient City Hall made out of carved stone making it very difficult to retrofit as time went on and technology developed. That aside, the building itself is one of the most durable buildings in all of New Lilith. Aside from the City Hall, the Spires is made up of a historical downtown and is one of the focal points in tourism as people look at the older buildings. Accompanying this is the New Lilith Public Library which is nearly as old as the City Hall itself and the Hobbes University of Law. The University's administrative building was one of New Lilith's original schools, it has been upgraded and expanded since as well as the University as a whole receiving various wings added on. The school occupies a good portion of the central city now. <br/><br/><b>The Bazaar:</b> In addition to the historical downtown is the Bazaar district which is several blocks of historical buildings converted into novelty and specialty stores. Many of these buildings also offer apartments above the stores which can be quite pricey but often some of the nicest apartments in the city especially for the history buffs. The Bazaar is always the ending point of any historical tour through New Lilith is almost always guaranteed to be busy with tourists looking for the perfect keepsake to bring home. The Bazaar is also home to New Lilith's 'Pub Crawl' a street lined with numerous pubs and bars many themed to the city's history such as the Stein and Cauldron. <br/></div><br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">North:</span></b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><br/><b>The Greek Quarter:</b> The Greek Quarter was originally the Lumber District until the lumber industry began to fall in New Lilith, as such, it has several abandoned mills within it. However in the late fifties, an influx of Greek immigrants moved into this area and turned the land into fertile farm land. As such it's now a rural community which is a stark departure from the tower urban Gothic of New Lilith's downtown. This area is also home to a few small mountains which back the old quarry from where most of New Lilith's stone came from. The quarry is still in use today but to a lesser extend. A few small mines are also located near the quarry, though they don't produce much, the mines are home to several precious and semi-precious gems. The mountains also house a large Ski Resort which is a huge hit with natives and tourists alike when the winter months come. The mountains also contain ancient ruins of some sort of stone ring not unlike that of Stonehenge, it's a rather popular place for both tourists and teenagers a like. The 'Stone Ring' as its known is also referred to as the 'Lover's Ring' and has seen its fair share of nudity and proposals. <br/><br/><b>The Farmer's Market:</b> An extension of the Greek Quarter, the Farmer's Market is the middle ground between Suburbia and the Rural Farms. The Farmer's Market is exactly what its name suggests, a market run by the farmers of New Lilith. The area consists of both permanent and semi-permanent structures which are removed when the season passes. During the summer and harvest months, the Market is filled with stalls of fresh fruit, vegetables, home made pastries and numerous other ideas. As well the area is occupied by flea markets and tradesmen peddling their wares. Butcher shops can be found newby and there's always livestock or pets for sale. In the winter, the area occupied from the stalls is turned into several large ice rinks allowing for public skating or hockey games. The city erects bleachers to ensure the public can watch and someone is always serving coffee, apple cider, tea or hot chocolate on site. <br/></div><br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">East:</span></b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><br/><b>East City:</b> While not as old as the downtown, East City is comprised of older homes, the oldest of which date back to the forties and the newest of which date back to the seventies. Amidst these homes is the Hobbes Elementary School and the Abramson Secondary School, not to mention the older convenience stores which dot the corners of the streets. You can occasionally find a more modern building or store in the area but it's rare since the city tries to protect its 'historical' buildings. <br/><br/><b>The Docks:</b> As the name implies, the Docks lay along New Lilith's coastline and consist of a variety of different notable locations. While most of the shoreline is in fact rocky and rather rough, Snowy Beach is made of perfect white sand and kept groomed by the city. Always a popular location in the summer, the beach is backed by several restaurants and aquatic sport related stores. Down the coast a little further lies the harbour with the wharfs and warehouses atop of great wooden structures to compensate for the tide. Slightly further South lies the construction of New Lilith's famous Hydroelectric Tidal Dam which produces enough power for more than half the city on its own.<br/></div><br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">South:</span></b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><br/><b>The Tower District:</b> Directly to the South of the downtown, the Tower district is made up of fairly modern buildings primarily skyscrapers which consist of offices, apartments and condos. The tower district is also home to numerous clubs which means there's not a time of day when the Tower District isn't crawling with people as men and women of all ages come to blow off steam when the sun goes down losing themselves in the melodies of one of the city's talented DJs. Aside from hopping clubs, the Tower District is also home to numerous upper class restaurants all of which serve the very finest in dining. <br/><br/><b>Little Orleans:</b> Backed by a river which flows both into a swamp and down into the Atlantic, Little Orleans is another ethnic area in New Lilith. Originally home to French colonies, they were eventually outnumbered by the English and absorbed into New Lilith. However, they still managed to preserve their ethnic background though Little Orleans has much more in common with New Orleans in Mississippi opposed to the city in France it named itself after originally. Perhaps to improve tourism for itself, Little Orleans celebrate Mardi Gras each year just like New Orleans. Homes here have a distinct European flavour while the Catholic church and Our Immaculate Hope Catholic School embody the Gothic architecture of New Lilith proper. <br/></div><br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">West:</span></b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><br/><b>New City:</b> New City embodies its name in every sense as the Inner West District of the city is made of modern supermalls, fast food and restaurant chains and homes built within the last twenty years. It's also home to two elementary schools, New Lilith Elementary School and the Calvin Elementary Institute. New City also contains two high schools, the New Lilith Vocational Academy and the Thomas Aquinas Secondary School. Also not to be outdone by the Hobbes University of Law, New City contains the New Lilith Institute of Technology. Several apartment buildings and condos can also be found in New City. Many of the city's auto dealers are found on this end of town as well. <br/><br/><b>West End:</b> The West End can essentially be looked at as an extension of New City with a great emphasis on residential as it thins out into homes before turning into freeways towards the rest of New Hampshire. West End has its own stores, though mainly smaller chains as well as a few restaurants and convenience stores. There are also several small business offices in the West End though these are primary entrepreneurs working out of their homes or small shared lots. <br/></div><br/>

<br/><center><i>~Will Be Updated As Locations Are Mentioned in the IC~</i></center><br/><b>Central:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><b>The Stein And Cauldron:</b> A highly popular pub and bar run by Serena Ravencroft, it's a popular hang out for both the Highway Men and the local student body. The pub is open everyday from 4pm to 3am and serves some of the best chicken wings and fries in the city. If that's not enough to sell you on it, it tends to only hire very attractive people and the dance floor is known to get clothes to fall off. <br/><br/><b>The Lamp:</b> In the Bazaar District, The Lamp is a small but reputable antique shop that deals largely in Gothic and ancient artifacts located below a generally active apartment complex. It's complete inventory, due largely to a small group of highly sought after pieces, is worth a total of approximately twelve-million dollars. Though it has a decent supply of less valuable items to keep revenue flowing regularly.

In the summer its slopes and trails are used for biking and offroading but in the winter it's home to numerous skiers, snowboarders and even has a toboggan and tube hill. The resort also includes a full hotel, including the pool, hot tub and restaurant.</div><br/><br/><b>East:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><b>The Hydroelectric Tidal Dam:</b> New Lilith's Hydroelectric Tidal Dam creates about 80% of the city's power needs for the years and creates these currents based on the rising and lowering tide. It's unique design was provided by Richard Murdoch who was flown in from Kilbride in Washington state during the early 2000's to work alongside the city's engineers. The project was a success and has thus led to several identical dams to be commissioned in other coastal cities. </div><br/><br/><b>South:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>~Coming Soon~</i></div><br/><br/><b>West:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>~Coming Soon~</i></div><br/>

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/><b>The Highway Men:</b> The Highway Men are a well establish biker gang that runs out of New Lilith's west end. Specializing in preying on travelers and stealing their cars, the Highway Men have quite a reputation out near the freeways. They operate out of several garages around the city, keeping their base on the move since their last leader was busted just over two years ago. These garages are all equipped for stripping a car of its identifiers and making it easy to sell on the black market. While they weren't originally a violent gang, ever since the new leader took over the Highway Men have become steadily more vicious in their attacks and car jackings. <br/><br/><b>The Welcome Crew:</b> Primary made up of bored local rich kids ranging from mid to late teens, the 'Welcome Crew' prey on lone or weak looking tourists. Once they've found a target they split their numbers in half, with the one half running ahead to find an ambush alley while the other half tails the target. Once the target passes the ambush point, the 'Crew drag them into the alley where the rest of the gang rushes in and the collective group brutally beats the tourists before running away leaving the victim in critical condition and sometimes dead. Police believe that the gang is run by a single authoritative figure who has found a way to manipulate these kids. <br/><br/><b>Anarchists:</b> The Anarchists are a small terrorist cell bent on causing as much chaos as they can at a time. Often they employ arson as their primary means of attack but they're no strangers to bombs and other forms of explosives. If they can get their hands on guns or other firearms they will use them but most of their attacks are done using untraceable home made devices. The Anarchists tend to target the historical areas of the city to cause the most harm, however thus far due to their amateur nature they've been stopped. The police can't seem to isolate the leaders though and with each failed attempt the next one puts more and more of the city's populace at risk. <br/>

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/><b>Five Coins:</b> One of New Lilith's oldest legends says that the city's original founders have five ceremony coins minted to mark the occasion. It was also said that these fives coins were stolen by a group of thieves. The Five Coins are a secret sect of thieves who live and operate within New Lilith though many dismiss them as urban legends and fictional. The police refuse to take the notion of a underground network of thieves secretly despite the fact the Coins leave a signature calling card in the form of a gold coin. The Five Coins live by a very strict code and anyone in the group who kills or attacks while performing a heist is immediately kicked out of the group and turned into the police either by way of entrapment or a frame job. It is unknown if the Coins have a set headquarters or if they're nomadic, constantly changing their base of operations from location to location within New Lilith. <br/><br/><b>Human Traffickers:</b> No one knows the name of the group who is behind the kidnappings in New Lilith, but there's a small group of human traffickers who preys on anyone out alone in the dark. Police can't seem to find a pattern as people of all ages, genders and race go missing at random never to be heard from again. Any of the bodies that have showed up have been stripped of both their blood and their organs. Police believe there's some kind of black market deal behind this but they have no leads as neither the bodies nor the kidnapping sights yield any evidence.<br/><br/><b>The Courtesan:</b> New Lilith's Brothel House operates out of the Bazaar District from the back of the 'Courtesan' bar and club. A gray area in terms of legalities, this highly functional prostitution house sees a fair share of patrons from the Towers almost every night while in the day operates as a historical feature. While the police have tried to make a few arrest, the owner of the Brothel, Miss. Mina Harker, has always been able to clear the building as legal. Though rumors say that quite a few of the workers are acquired through less than legal means, in addition to the fact that quite often someone who 'forgets' to tip can be found dead as a doornail in a dumpster a few blocks away. Despite all this Miss Harker proclaims his establishment to be the shining example of legal, it also doesn't hurt that Miss Harker seems to have access to immeasurable wealth. <br/><br/><b>The Coven:</b> The Coven is a group of supposed 'witches' but in reality they just seem to be a group of animal and environmental activists who use traditional stereotypes combined with nature based religions to entice people to believe that are in fact witches. So far they haven't caused any damage to the city or caused anyone bodily harm. to any of the citizens. But they have been detained for unlawful gathering and protests. Police are keeping a close eye on them as they fear their methods will grow more extreme especially with the attention the media has been giving other gangs in the city. <br/><br/><b>Drug Trade:</b> The drug trade is rather high in New Lilith, specifically in the form of crystal meth and crack cocaine. Heroin is also readily available in most shady alleys. The police have tried to close down a few different labs and dealers but no one keep springing up in their place, as long as there is crime in New Lilith the drug trade will continue to be active. <br/>

But, by High School, she'd gained an ability to speak casually and be easily understood. She loved thee sudden attention she received from reinventing herself as a girl of class, but with a taste for the simple things. It was shortly before her Sophomore year ended that she'd began seeing Drake Castle, whom she'd actually had a crush on since the seventh grade.<br/>

But unlike her brothers, she was born with a disorder.

Since then, it has transitioned from a pad of paper to her cell phone, but is still faced with the same problem everyday.

She is usually the first of the family to offer any help. Also worthy of note, she has a phobia of mannequins.<br/><b>Bio:</b> Born in 1971, Meredith Lee Belle was raised in Kentucky by a family of five farmers and a hard-working mother who taught her how to sew. She was never much for being sociable or being outgoing in her youth, but when someone would make an efffoet to talk to her, she would do her utmost to be completely hospitable. Eventually, wanting to dscape the monotony of farm life, she packed her bags and moved to New Lilith, shortly after finding herself being courted by a smooth talking car salesman who took her hand in marriage, siring two sons and a daughter. However, despite leaving home to escape tedium, it only got worse once she'd married Tyler Castle, who had pretty much bound her to the house whenever she wasn't with him.<br/>

His abusive father didn't make war seem like an honorable practice at all. So on his eighteenth birthday, he packed up and moved across the coumtry to New Lilith without telling anyone. It was there that he began a life of his own, starting as a car salesman, he steadily climbed the ranks of the business until he was promoted to Manager. Along the way he met a woman named Meredith that he decided to marry and have kids with. However, after having three children one after the other he had a vasectomy performed so he wouldn't have to raise them when he was sixty.

He has a fondness for Drake because he reminds him of his son. In general, hospitality is very important to him.<br/><b>Bio:</b> Born in 1984, Warren Whimer was the son of one of the city's most effective and well-respected drug lords. He was never particularly interested in the drugs or the money. He just wanted to play Soccer professionally. But a lack of money made that difficult for him because his father refused to pay his way when Warren already had the opportunity to pay for it himself, by dealing drugs. When his father died, he unintentionally inherited all of his resources and problems. So, with a small but wealthy and loyal gang by his side, he is one of the city's foremost reluctant drug lords. With the extra revenue he made, he put it into an antique shop in The Bazaar that he named 'The Lamp', which sold gothic artifacts that were perfect for souvenirs for people who come from out of town.<br/>

<br/>[1.01] You can create any superhero mold you want with tact. All invincible superheroes or obvious imitations of DC or Marvel titles will be judged harshly. Heroes ideally should be starting out their careers within the first arc of the RP, there are no age restrictions on your character however if you are expected to be able to involve your character with the others so it's advised you don't make the age gap bigger than it needs to be for the sake of being 'original' or 'different'. Likewise, if you must make a 'monstrous' character/power, I advise you to make your character dual sided so they may blend with the regular people. Your abilities should also be a secret to everyone except your character's closest friends if you so wish, remember people are afraid of what they don't understand and the metahuman is a new concept to the world. People will not be willing to accept them very quickly. <br/><br/>[1.02] Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this. <br/><br/>[1.03] All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs through Private Message Thread and in the provided format. Character Sheets which do not use the provided skeleton will be ignored as will as Characters submitted in the Out Of Character Thread. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of The Guild and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response. <br/><br/>[1.04] Players are allowed one primary character. You allowed to create secondary characters to interact with as well as flesh them out. However do not spend more time on these characters than necessary, they should be more like NPCs than player characters. While you could make them metahumans, they should not be constantly tagging along with your character.

<br/>[2.01] Respect the Game Masters. The GM's words are law, don't argue or disregard them. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Guild Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.<br/><br/>[2.02] Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly. <br/><br/>[2.03] Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request. <br/><br/>[2.04] No GIF Posts, No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the Roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed but please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself.

<br/>[3.01]You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers.<br/><br/>[3.02] This is a high-casual/low-advanced roleplay, as such a two (2)-paragraph minimum per post is mandatory. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts are however expected and preferred. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small exceptions due to language barriers are also understandable.<br/><br/>[3.03] You are expected to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you can't meet this expectation please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded.<br/><br/>[3.04] No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP. <br/><br/>[3.05] PC's are not to be killed without permission. Nameless NPC's are fine, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator. You may threaten a whole city but you are not allowed to actually nuke/bomb/rain fire on a city and destroy it unless said plot has been pre-approved with the GMs. <br/><br/>[3.06] This is a Characer Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's subplots and storylines. You are always welcome to group with other players and create storylines together as well. The GMs will leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters.<br/><br/>[3.07] Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.

Her tone physique grants her a slender body with accented feminine curves which would have attracted the eyes of many men without the added bonus of her 'Attractive Aura'. Winter's usual fashion includes, jeans, a tank top and a leather jacket. Naturally this is adapted to suit the colder or warmer weather depending on the season. She has an attraction towards purple and black in her wardrobe as well, though she's no stranger to wearing other colours as well. Winter has a scar on her left elbow from a bad motorcycle accident when she was first learning to ride, though it has faded over the years, it's still notable up close. She also has the tattoo of a raven in flight on the inside of her right forearm as well as a black rose on her front left hip. </div><br/><br/><b>| ABILITIES |</b><br/><ul><li><b>Half Fairy:</b> Unbeknownst to Winter, her body is half fairy. As such, Winter has a natural aptitude and connection to magic unlike most humans who have to be taught or have to channel magical energies through words, runes or an object. Her 'Fair' half is in fact the source of all of her supernatural abilities and without it she wouldn't be anything more than a mortal. That said, Winter's magical energies are finite and can be drained temporarily through over use or by an outside source. Once fully drained, Winter's power take eight hours of rest to fully recharge which is best accomplished through sleep. Sleeping recharges Winter's abilities two times fast than they would recharge if she were awake, in a conscious state Winter's powers would take sixteen hours to recharge.</li><br/><li><b>Wisp Form:</b><br/><img src=""http://i58.tinypic.com/4rccax.jpg""/><br/>While Winter appears human, she's fifty percent Fair Folk and fifty percent human. Winter can manipulate the magical energies within her body to change that ratio allowing her to increase the concentration of Fairy within her allowing her to take on a Wisp like form akin to that of her father. In this form, Winter becomes ninety percent Fairy, while remaining ten percent human. Additionally, her power level drastically increases in this form by roughly two hundred percent, however due to the higher power level and the drain on her magical energies to sustain the Wisp form, Winter's power depletes at twice the rate it normally would. While in her 'human' form, Winter can last about four hours using her powers moderately, in Wisp form however Winter is lucky to last two hours with moderate use and combat will easily drain her magical energies in under an hour. Winter's Wisp Form substantially changes her appearance as she takes a ghostly appearance, her hair, skin and eyes all take on a luminescent and translucent white colour while donning a hooded white robe. Winter's body is cloaked in a skin tight white body suit, though due to the nature of the Wisp Form it's hard to tell if she's wearing anything at all despite her body remaining void of any biological identifiers outside of her feminine shape. This form also grants Winter the ability to shrink in size while transforming into an orb of light not unlike that of her 'Wisp Fire'. This is the truest form of the 'Will O'The Wisp', and the one which is most often sighted in the legends surrounding the Fae.</li><br/><li><b>Decelerated Ageing:</b> Due to Winter's Fairy half, her life expectancy is much longer than that of a human's. As such, once she reaches her full maturity, Winter will start to slow in aging to the point that by her 100th birthday, she'll barely look a day over thirty. Winter will likely live to between three to four hundred years.</li><br/><li><b>Attractive Aura:</b> Another side effect of Winter's Fairy half is that she's more desirable to mortals. As such her body releases subliminal hormones which makes everyone around her attracted to her. Winter sees no upside to this ability in the least, though she enjoyed the benefits of it briefly while dating Jack Cobb. Despite the fact that people are attracted to Winter, this does not mean they are immediately smitten with her, merely that express a sexual desire towards her. As such, it's impossible for a mortal to find her unattractive, those with supernatural attributes however can find themselves with an overwhelming desire towards her.</li><br/><li><b>Invisibility:</b> Winter possesses the ability to turn her body invisible, though her scent, weight and presence still remain. Her body is merely invisible to visual detection and even then those with supernatural ocular abilities may still be able to see her. This is done through merging her body partially with another dimension making her appearance vanish from the current realm. </li><br/><li><b>Intangibility:</b>Winter is able to pass through solid objects as she's able to ignore most physical effects in her way. The exact means as to how this is done occurs by slipping into another dimension. Winter is able to ignore most attacks, physical dangers with concentration, though loss of her train of thought can cause her to become solid again. Likewise, Winter has to constantly be alert to the effects of gravity and if she isn't careful could end up falling to the planet's core. Electricity can also harm her even when she's intangible. For this reason she can not pass through any electrically charged panel, wall or surface. Electric attacks like will wise cause her great agony even if she's not intangible. Other magicks can also cancel out Winter's intangibility leaving her vulnerable or even partially phased through an object.</li><br/><li><b>Flight/Levitation:</b> Winter can hover/float and fly through the air unassisted, allowing her to carelessly float in the air and prevent herself from making contact with the ground below. Though she can only reach a top speed of a hundred miles per hour doing this. Her top speed can only be reached in her Wisp Form and she can only maintain it for about thirty minutes before becoming drained.</li><br/><li><b>Siren's Song:</b> Winter's 'Siren's Song' is one of her most potent abilities. With a loud piercing screech, Winter unleashes a devastating wave of sonic energy which can push her opponents back at low levels but with increased volume and pitch can cause ear drums to burst and other devastating injuries even leading to death if left unchecked. The 'Song' is one of Winter's most draining abilities and also features the unique disadvantage of being able to destabilize her from her 'Wisp Form' if held too long. A prolonged 'Wail' can easily use to fifty percent of Winter's magical energies.</li><br/><li><b>Wisp Fire:</b> Winter's Wisp Fire can be used for a variety of purposes. Once summoned to her, Winter can use the Fire as an aura surrounding herself in it, as a projectile firing it from her hands or even breath the fire out of her mouth. If the Fire is being used offensively, it's glows an eerie blue, however Winter can also use her Wisp Fire to heal herself and others. If this is the case, the fire becomes a luminous golden ray. When being used offensively, the Wisp Fire doesn't crackle or sizzle like normal fire but rather it wails like screams of torment. However, when being used to heal, the Fire gives off a light chime like sound, healing also is more draining on Winter's magical energies than attacking with the Fire. A mortal wound would require all of Winter's magical energies while a paper cut would barely affect it. Likewise the energy a fireball would drain replenishes in about five minutes but a steady stream of Fire would rapidly drain Winter.</li><br/><li><b>Magical Affinity:</b> Due to Winter's nature of being a Half-Fae, she has a natural affinity towards magic and can thus learn new magicks very easily given the proper resources and time. Her Fairy nature in particular grants her an affinity towards nature magical such as the control and manipulation of plant life, an affinity towards fire, light and shadow. However all of this remains unknown to Winter who's more than happy to slug someone with a wrench than hurl a fireball.</li><br/><li><b>Telekinesis:</b> Though not with her mind but through magic, Winter can lift objects without touching through concentration. In a human form, Winter can only lift as much as she could physically but transformed into her Wisp Form, Winter can lift three times as much. This ability has a minimal drain on her magical energies as long as she's not pushing her maximum weight. The power drains much quicker under strenuous circumstances.</li></ul><br/><br/><b>| LIMITATIONS |</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">While Winter will develop a great scale of powers and abilities she has numerous weaknesses as well. Firstly, Any 'light' based attacks also have double the effectiveness on Winter, and other supernatural users could even banish her to another dimension. This effectiveness further increases when Winter is in Wisp Form due to being less mortal. Magick also has double the effectiveness on Winter and can cause her great harm as well. In terms of Magick, Winter can't just randomly manifest new spells or attacks without first learning them from the proper people or resources, both of which are hard to come by. To a degree this applies to her own abilities as well as they'll develop with her. Lastly, Winter's greatest weakness is her own mortality as it makes her magical energies finite as well as making her much easier to kill than a full Fae.</div><br/><br/><b>| SKILLS AND TALENTS |</b><br/><ul><li><b>Mechanic:</b> Raised by her father and having lived most of her life surrounded by chop shops, Winter picked up the skills of the 'trade'. She knows a car inside and out and is completely capable of simple repairing one or building it from the ground up. This knowledge also extends to motorcycles, Winter's and the Highway Men's choice mode of transportation.</li> <br/><li><b>Grand Theft Auto:</b> Since the Highway Men deal with carjacking, Winter knows all the tricks of breaking into a car and hot-wiring it. Not to mention knowing the value of various makes and models, additionally Winter can identify a wide variety of details about a car including whether it's been in an accident, what trim level it's equipped with and if it has an armed alarm, all through a simple walk around. the vehicle in question.</li><br/><li><b>Motorcyclist:</b> Winter has been on a bike most of her life, as such she's very skilled at handling large, powerful and fast motorcycles. That said, she's not a stunt rider, though she can handle taking the bike through some of the more 'professional' maneuvers.</li><br/><li><b>Brawling:</b> Roy wanted to make sure his baby girl was more than capable of giving anyone who wanted to harm her a run for their money. In order to accomplish this, he made sure his daughter was taught to fight. Roy taught Winter everything he remembered from boxing but more importantly he taught Winter to be a pragmatic fighter, using whatever she can to turn the fight to her advantage. Essentially, Winter's not afraid to fight dirty and is quite good at it.</li><br/></ul><br/><br/><b>| EQUIPMENT |</b><br/><ul><li><b>Motorola RAZR2:</b> A five year old cellphone, it can call, text, take pictures and even play music. This older flip phone is all Winter needs in a phone and she simply can't be bothered to upgrade to a modern phone. Partially because she doesn't care about technology and partially because she doesn't want to look like an idiot trying to learn to use a touchscreen.</li><br/><li><b>Tools:</b> Winter's best friend is a socket wrench, and it shows as she keeps several tool kits in her university dorm room. Kept in top condition, Winter ensures her tools are as well kept as her bike and if you have to ask, that means pristine.</li><br/><li><b>HP Laptop:</b> A basic off the shelf HP Pavilion laptop, Winter occasionally carries it with her but its primary use is for school. She can use a computer as well as any other person who uses them casually but she's not about to sit down and hang out on the internet for hours especially if she could be out riding. </li><br/><li><b>Harley Davidson Breakout:</b><br/><img src=""http://i59.tinypic.com/f27rq0.png""/><br/>Winter's brand new top of the line 2014 Harley Davidson Breakout is her pride and joy. Her previous bike was lost to her during the raid on the Highway Men hideout after Jack Cobb's betrayal and take over. Having saved her money from bartender at the Stein and Cauldron over the last two years, Winter bought the bike brand new two months ago and has barely let it out of her sight since. Though in the off chance her bike were stolen, Winter made sure she installed a remote engine immobilizer, she'd rather her bike wrecked than in someone else's hands.<br/></li></ul><br/><br/><b>| BIOGRAPHY |</b><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<div class=""bb-indent"">Mother was raped, gave birth to Winter who was raised by her mother and step-father, Roy Caspian, until she was four. Her mother ran away shortly after Winter's fourth birthday. Roy was the leader of the Highway Men Biker Gang, as such Winter grew up around bikes and bad boys. Dated one of the gang members for two years before the gang was busted up. Gang was busted up when Winter's boyfriend, Jack Cobb sold out the gang in a power play which left him as the gang leader but also got Roy locked away along with his daughter and other close associates. Winter ended up serving a year's jail time for aiding and abetting but has since been released and is currently enrolled in University pursuing a law degree.</div>
</div>
</div><br/><br/>Just over twenty years ago, Roy Caspian met the beautiful Jewel Quenet on the dance floor of the Midsommer nightclub<br/><br/><b>| SAMPLE POST |</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""> The pub was particularly packed this Friday evening as the live music echoed through the small establishment while the waitresses in their tight black tops ran around bringing drinks and towering plates of wings to the many awaiting tables. Normally Winter would have been working behind the bar but with the 'Stein and Cauldron' overcrowded, Serena had asked Winter to take to the floor. The smell of alcohol permeated the room while various wing sauces added accents ranging from sweet to tangy to the thick smoke smell of barbeque. Walking up to a table with her notepad drawn, Winter looked down only now realizing that perhaps the pleated skirt she had worn tonight wasn't the best choice as even the mandatory server apron was longer than it. <br/><br/>""What'll it be boys?"" Winter said as she clicked a pen and put it down on the pad while looking at the four men before her. Looking at each of the men they appeared to meet the standard 'frat boy' stereotypes. 'V-Necked' Shirt on one, popped collar polo on another, one was still wearing his sunglasses indoors and had enough grease in his hair to a make a McDonald's grill blush. Winter looked up as she heard of them obnoxiously clear his throat as the man in the polo began to speak.<br/><br/>""Another round of MGD, bottles for each of us Sweet Cheeks. And a platter of the suicide wings. I only like things that are smokin' hot."" He said as he leaned back, looking Winter up and down, his tongue sliding across his lips nearly causing Winter to gag in her mouth. Despite sitting in the middle, his arms still had tremendous reach as he stretched his hand out, the man with the popped collar winked at his friends while nodding towards their waitress and her short skirt. Turning to walk away, Winter felt a smack as her skirt was briefly lifted. Biting down on her lip, she felt her face go red as she paused before speaking.<br/><br/>""You Sir, get a sandwich on the house!"" Winter said in a 'valley girl' like tone, forcing herself to release the death glare from her face, replacing it with a freshly painted and much forced smile while turning to the man who had slapped her behind. He looked up at her smugly, a look of pure amusement in his eyes as he sat surrounding by his snickering 'brothers'. It took all of Winter's restraint to not take his beer and beat him over the head before shanking him with it till he bled out on the floor. <br/><br/>""Oh yeah, well why don't you hurry and make it for me Sweet Cheeks?"" The man said as he swigged his beer, nearly falling off his chair laughing while his gathered friends all joined in on the mirth. Winter's grin grew from forced to genuine as she realized just how much she was about to enjoy administering her own brand of justice on this depraved excuse for a man. She had lived among rough men before but none of them would have dared touched her. Placing her tray down on the table beside her, she nodded to the table nearby as she excused her actions in advanced.<br/><br/>""Oh but I already have it right here for you."" Winter's tone was sweet and innocent only to be broken as she suddenly pulled her arm back and swung hard. The echoing of knuckles colliding with a hollow skull echoed through the 'Cauldron as the man hit the floor, his beer shattering as glass and alcohol spread across the floor. ""I hope you like 'knuckle'."" Winter snarled as she turned her back and headed for the bar amidst the cheers and hollers of the other patrons. ""I still expect a tip."" Winter called back to the frat boys which only served to elicit more laughter from the 'Cauldron's patrons.</div><br/><br/><b>| NOTES |</b><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

He has a somewhat pointed chin and sharp features all around his face. He has a trim, but toned build that is from his practice of many frequent acrobatic feats. His costume is made of a red jumpsuit that clings tightly to his frame, giving hima nice range of motion by eliminating obstructions such as capes or the like, and it also has a mask made like a hood that hugs his face, coating it in red with shiny red contacts.</div><br/><b>Abilities:</b><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<div class=""bb-indent"">His body also produces an excessive amount of a unique form of epinephrine, which can be directly consumed by him, putting him on edge and giving him faster reflexes, speed, agility, making time seem to crawl by, and a higher level of strength, without shutting down his immune system, as well as creating a bit of nervousness that lingers within his mind. Instead of using his excess chemical on himself, he can alternatively spread it throughout the air through the pores of his skin or by touch, which would still be through his pores. He uses this ability to create nervousness within others, or give his allies and friends a boost when they physically are in need of assistance. The split-second thinking caused by the chemical causes him to make behave somewhat erratically and greatly affects his judgement.</div>

<div class=""bb-indent"">He can remotely accelerate and decelerate the heart rate of other organisms. Doing so, he can force the people around him into a calm state, or drive them into a panic beyond anything they'd ever seen before. Another practical application of being able to remotely control a heart's beating, is that he can jump start a flat lining heart, slow bleeding and breathing, or cause uneasiness to affect the judgement of his opponents. He can only firmly maintain control over one heart at a time, otherwise his grip on each other organ wanes significantly, though this may be lessened with greater practice.</div>
</div>
</div><br/><b>Skills and Talents:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">He tends to think objectively and logically, preferring to see all of his options before he makes a definite choice, unless he firmly believes that there is only one good choice to make. He is a good delegator, able to identify problems and effectively troubleshoot solutions. As such, he has a talent for repairing things and touching up on mechanical issues. Whenever he can, he tries to plan ahead for the next important action, whether it be mechanical or interpersonal. His enjoyment of seeing what is possible leads to him testing his limits at all things, sometimes to a point where when it seems overly risky, but he treads with caution. He loves practicing parkour and has gotten quite good at it, constantly improving his agility and having a genuine appreciation for what he can do that others cannot. He has never been trained in any 'martial art', but he does have reflexes fast enough that, in combination with his altered perception of time, can make it appear he always knows what to do in combat situations. He is a talented speaker and has a deep voice that sounds like an adult, especially over a telephone, he often has doubts in his ability to lead, but he still tries to put his best foot forth when it comes to dealing with others.</div><br/><b>Equipment:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><b>Adjustable Wrench:</b> A high-grade adjustable wrench that is kept in the utility belt in case he ever needs to make repairs in the field.<br/><b>Batons:</b> Red plastic batons that are half an inch thick and 18 inches long.<br/><b>Bleach:</b> A small amount of the substance is stored within a pouch in his utility belt.<br/><b>Chevrolet Express:</b> A van owned by Simon's parents that they'd stopped paying attention to before Simon repurposed it as a private hangout.<br/><b>Duct Tape:</b> One roll of military-grade duct-tape is kept in the utility belt.<br/><b>Fishing Line:</b> A small reel that keeps the sharp cord ready when needed from the belt.<br/><b>Flashlight:</b> A small, hand-held flashlight with a blindingly white glow.<br/><b>Forensics Kit:</b> A small set-up with plastic bags, a magnifying-monocle, tweezers, and a black light from a key chain.<br/><b>Gasoline:</b> A small amount of the substance is stored within a pouch in his utility belt.<br/><b>iPhone:</b> An iPhone 5S with unlimited data with 64 GB that has many applications that assist Drake in his activities ranging from maps to voice recording to calls to photography.<br/><b>Laser Pointer:</b> A laser-pointer attached to his key-chain that is primarily used as a distraction.<br/><b>Lighter:</b> A plain-looking stainless steel lighter that is used to create fires.<br/><b>Mega Pop-Its:</b> Home-made designs made by unwrapping a hundred pop-its and repackaging them into tissue paper resultibg in a larger explosion that creates a flash, sounds like gunfire, smells like gun powder, and has a blast radius of three-inches.

His father was a successful car salesman, and his mother worked as a nurse. One year after Drake was born, his sister Cayse came into the world before his father had a vasectomy. Over the years, as Tyler climbed the ranks, he received promotion after promotion until he was finally given the coveted title of Manager. Through his career, he and his wife grew apart, and he distanced himself from his two children: Vincent and Drake.<br/><br/>When their parents weren't home, Drake effectively had the television as a babysitter. After watching one too many episodes of Naruto, he decided that he wanted to become a ninja. So, he went through a phase where he instantly reacted to everything with high-pitched cries and throwing things, swinging pillows like a pair of nunchakus. After constantly behaving like a maniac for his twelfth year of life, it carried over to the time he was thirteen, in which he became an adrenaline junkie, doing anything to avoid boredom, even stealing from stores. The nervousness that constantly emanated from him earned him the nickname Twitch, from his best friend Nathan, which has stuck to this day.<br/><br/>When1he was thirteen, life started to seem so much faster paced, it was more kinetic. When he grew excited, everyone else followed his example, whether they'd actually liked him, or not. It was around that time that everyone seemed to start having medical and psychological issues. His father had three heart attacks in a month due to living in a constant state of stress, but the doctors couldn't determine why.<br/><br/>At the age of fourteen, Drake began to attend the New Lilith Vocational Academy. Even there, everyone around him kept expressing great discomfort. Eventually, however, after listening to a speech on TedTalks about 'Good Vibrations', he realized that somehow he had an influence over the state of others. He spent the remainder of the year learning to control his influences over the body chemistry of others. Sometimes he'd try to tone it down, by meditating and soothing himself, other times he'd give someone feeling aggressive towards a bully an adrenaline rush. Over the summer, he held his course before starting his Sophomore year, where he spent mostly trying to live a normal life, though he did join the school newspaper. By the end of it, he even had a girlfriend, Amanda Archer.<br/><br/>It was at the beginning of his Junior year that Drake took a chemistry class taught again by Mr.Roth. One of his classmates was a literal genius, Simon Dellinger, a freshman with an incredibly gifted aptitude towards the sciences. He also figured out Drake's abilities rather quickly due to his particular interest in comic books and superhuman abilities. Rather than try to expose him though, Simon directly confronted him, giving him an ultimatum: Use his abilities for good as a superhero, or he'd reveal that for years Drake had been causing people massive heart problems. Drake chose to be a superhero, allowing Simon to develop the name he'd use, assign him targeted criminals to take down, and creating a costume, which Drake accepted with reluctance.<br/><br/>It was shortly after this, that Drake began job hunting. He found a job in The Bazaar district, at a gothic antique shop called The Lamp. It was there that he met Warren Whimer, who was reminded of himself as a boy bg Drake's lighthearted attitude during the interview. So, becoming his first employer, Warren gladly hired Drake as a salesman for The Lamp.</div><br/><br/><b>Sample Post:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><b>New Lilith<br/>Sunday, 12:30 PM</b><br/><br/>""I dunno about this, Simon.""<br/><br/>""That's okay, Drake. That's why I make the decisions for our partnership.""<br/><br/>By making the decisions for our partnership, he was referring to acting as my sidekick, telling me who to beat up and where. I never told him to make this. Looking at a crimson jumpsuit messily strewn across my bed, I tapped my foot and took a deep breath before uneasily rubbing the tip of my nose. There were a lot of reasons why I was friends with Simon Dellinger, one of them was because he was literally a genius and had been a huge help to honing my skills, I would never be as good at instilling fear without him. But when he did stuff like this... I'm forced to acknowledge that playing dress up with spandex and red contacts was not one of the reasons we became friends.<br/><br/>""It's very..."" I had to search for the right word, then, hesitantly, I pronounced it slowly, saying ""dramatic.""<br/><br/>""You act like that's a bad thing?"" He looked at me harshly. ""Com'on, man. I do half the work in this partnership, I've gotta have some say in what image we strike into the hearts of evil-doers.""<br/><br/>He had a point, but not a very good one. ""If you mean you do half the work by telling me who to go beat up, then yeah. But I actually have to wear this. You don't,"" holding my breath, I waited for a response. ""Can you see my dilemna?""<br/><br/>Instantly, he looked me in the eyes and narrowed his gaze, staring like he'd been stabbed. He threw his hands up and huffed, spreading his lips like he was about to say something, but quickly clamping them shut, effectively destroying the serenity that had been in my room.<br/><br/>""I asked you a question, Simon. Can you honestly see me wearing this?""<br/><br/>Throwing his hands back up and facing me once again, he went off like a bomb. ""Yeah, I can see it. But ya' know one thing that bothers <i>me</i> about this? You don't actually want to be a hero, you just want to go out and beat up criminals, and not even criminals specifically. You just want the moral high-ground when you hospitalize someone and get away with it. You know what! Of course I can see you wearing this. Otherwise I wouldn't have actually designed it.""<br/><br/>""But it's embarrassing. Can you see 'me' in this. I wouldn't ever--""<br/><br/>""That's the point, you self-righteous jerk! Superhero! Do you think people <i>should</i> be able to see <i>you</i> under the mask!""<br/><br/>With that, he turned and left, grimacing as he stepped out of my room. I'd never admit it, but he's right. And I probably will wear this, just because the devil you know is better than his next design. I see why he's angry, But he'll be back. I promise. He forgot that I'm his only ride home.</div><br/><b>Supporting Characters:</b><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

It was shortly before her Sophomore year ended that she'd began seeing Drake Castle, whom she'd actually had a crush on since the seventh grade.

Her hair is wavy and kept short so as to remain manageable, and many times (mostly due to her habit of waking too late for a shower before class) hidden beneath a fashionable hat or beret. As an Architecture student, she's often seen with a leather tote bag, which contains a drawing pad and several pens and pencils, along with course notes, her phone, her purse, her various public transport passes, and snacks to keep her going throughout the day. Warm weather has her in shorts, flowing skirts, and sheer tops, while the colder months usher in thick, patterned leggings and over-sized woolly jumpers. </i></div><br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/IC1GGNR.jpg""/></center><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>Compared to Alex's standard fashion sense, her vigilante costume is an altogether different beast. With a deep love of (and vested interested in) the Gothic and rustique architecture of the city of New Lilith, Alex has chosen to forge her vigilante aesthetic in line with that of her beloved city's visual identity. Her costume, then, is reminiscent of the magical and mythical history of New Lillith, using robes, sashes, and hoods coloured with ashen grays and whites and garnished in deep, rich purples and red to inspire the feel of some kind of sorceress, or an enchanter. She hopes that the visual direction of her costume, coupled with the thick, sight-impairing smoke that she creates, will instill the criminals she hunts with a fear of the city, and the belief that she is some vengeful spirit of New Lilith itself. <br/><br/>Alex is also aware of the importance of misdirection, and especially the presentation of a false target when it comes to being engaged in combat. To this end, she employs a heavyweight lantern-like burner fixed tight and strong to several chains decorated with engraved beads, in keeping with the aesthetic of her costume. While her powers are able to work separately to this burner, she centers the use and production of her smoke and gas around it to engage in a kind of double-bluff, making her opponents aware of the burner and luring them into believing it is the source of her abilities. The burner, drawing their attention, becomes a target of a higher priority than her, and the loss or destruction of it in combat will give Alex an opportunity for a strike of surprise once her enemies believe they have the upper hand. She also uses it as a weapon, competently swinging it around in a manner similar to the flails of the past in order to do simple blunt, destructive damage. </i></div><br/><br/><b>Abilities: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>Alex has the unique ability to manipulate particles in the air around her, condensing them and changing the properties of the molecules to synthesize a thick smoke or smog that she can then manipulate further. Alex needs to concentrate to begin the process, but after it has begun, she finds it increasingly easier to continue spreading her smoke through the air around her. The smoke is thicker the nearer it is to Alex and thins as it spreads out to between 5 and 10 meters, but concentration and direct manipulation can increase the effectiveness of it up to a range of 20 meters. <br/><br/>The smoke's most basic function is simple obstruction of sight, a gray hanging mass thick enough to restrict the vision of those caught in it to a few inches in front of them. Alex can use this to her advantage to disallow the enemy sight on her, and then strike from the smoke at them before seamlessly melding back into the fog, creating paranoia, confusion, and instilling a fear of the smog for what may be lurking within it. However, Alex retains the capacity to manipulate the smoke and change its properties in various ways, creating smoke that knocks trapped foes unconscious, fog that seeps in and poisons those caught in it, and even vicious fog that corrodes objects and people that stand in its way. <br/><br/>Alex's basic smog also has a secondary use that Alex has yet to master, or even discover. With concentration and practice, Alex can compress the smoke and form crude constructs, basic blocks or walls of dense smog that can slow projectiles, block melee strikes, or be used to cause blunt injury through ramming and bashing.<br/><br/>Alex, thankfully, remains unaffected by her smoke, whatever form she commands it to take, due to an unconscious secondary ability of her power that simply blocks her smoke from entering her system or harming her. However, this secondary protection affects only the smoke Alex herself creates, and has no effect over any gases or smokes from outside sources. </i></div><br/><br/><b>Skills and Talents: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>Alex is intelligent and eager to learn, interested in Architecture and History and studying both at college. She has an artists hand and draws detailed diagrams and sketches with ease, only practised further with the isometrical drawings she must often complete as part of her course. Her memory for shapes and details is also impressive, and she has many hand-drawn sketches of various New Lilith sights and buildings scattered about her student dorm, a habit that she has retained since a young age, and indeed her main reason for thrusting herself so vigorously into the study of Architecture. Her study of History comes mostly as an accessory to her main course, the Architecture of her city so steeped in the past, but Alex also harbours a deep belief in learning from the mistakes of former men and often quoting the creed ""Those who forget our history//Are condemned to repeat it.""<br/><br/>Beyond a good memory and mastery over a pad and pencil, Alex is toned and physically fit due to a habit of attending first a New Lilith public gym and now her college's private gym. Chubby as a child and mocked for it in middle school, she worked hard to shed the extra pounds and tone her body, and developed a habit of daily exercise, resulting in a good amount of stamina and agility, although she focuses little on weight training and as such has not developed her physical strength. She is also fairly computer-literate, her architecture course requiring skill with most forms of design programs, and particularly the use of CAD software. </i></div><br/><br/><b>Equipment: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>Alex owns several personal artifacts that are a regular commodity in a young woman's life, including:<br/><br/>-An iPhone 5;<br/>-A brown leather tote bag;<br/>-A set of lead and coloured drawing pencils;<br/>-Several A4 and A3 sketch pads;<br/>-Yearly passes to New Lilith's various public transport systems;<br/>-A Macbook Pro laptop;<br/>-A digital drawing tablet;<br/>-An iPad.<br/><br/>As a vigilante, Alex takes several separate useful objects with her on her 'outings':<br/><br/>-Plastic cable-ties for impromptu handcuffs;<br/>-A pager set up to the police scanner system;<br/>-A stick of mace;<br/>-A small first-aid kit, including bandages and painkiller pills;<br/>-And of course, her costume and her burner.<br/></i></div><br/><br/><b>Biography: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>Born early August but a week late, Alexa Fumal was unquestionably an Autumn child. She came as the leaves fell from the trees, and throughout her childhood and adolescence it was this time of year that she adored the most; the colours of the trees shifting in a hundred myriad ways, the satisfying <span class=""bb-u"">crunch</span> of a fallen leaf underfoot, the cozy afternoons and the cooling evening breezes. Her father, an aspiring architect himself, trying to set up his own firm (which he would later accomplish, though not to any divine amount of success), often took her on walks around the city on days like these, enjoying the air and pointing out the particular ways a building curved into a spire here, or tapered into gargoyles there, or the way two walls intersected, or how one set of windows created light and heat and a pretty building. Alex, rather than reject these teachings for the things more worthwhile to a child's mind (although there was plenty catching of fireflies on days like those), absorbed them fully, becoming as enraptured with the sculpture of a functional but beautiful city building as her father. She took up drawing young, her crayon scribbles focusing on rectangles and other shapes mashed together in pre-pubescent attempts to emulate her father's observations, and eventually advanced her talent - and by proxy, her compositions of polygons - as she grew older, her father teaching her the tricks of isometric sketching while she was in middle school.<br/><br/>Amongst all the inheritance of her father's traits, Alex's mother remained slightly distant. She loved her daughter dearly, but both parents knew her conception had not been purposeful; indeed, Alex's mother had not been entirely sure she desired children at all (such uncertainty the chief reason Alex never received a brother or sister). Alex's genesis had come about by way of a broken condom, and panicked store-brand pregnancy test a few weeks thereafter, and some days after <b>that</b>, a debate between the parents-to-be that eventually - with heavy praise on her father - settled on the birth of the child. This lingering doubt of whether Alex was truly wanted or not remained with her mother always, and Alex felt it. Not explicitly, but Alex felt it. Her father was more involved, more doting, more invested in Alex's achievements. Her mother was kind and gentle but retained an aloof air, and it created a schism between them. Alex fell further into her fathers arms, and eventually, when her parents separated (for reasons relating to financial security, her mother's belief that her father refused to be responsible with his income from his firm, and her father's belief that her mother refused to see a dream as more important than the money earned from it) she inevitably chose to live with her father full-time.<br/><br/>Alex gained weight after the separation, and insensitive peers in middle school pushed her into her now-unconscious habit of daily exercise, and by late high school, she had slimmed down and blossomed. She had a few boyfriends, and lost her virginity at the Lover's Ring in the summer between High School and College to a boy she left a few weeks later. During high school, her interest in Architecture had focused and she'd passed an extra-curricular course on the subject, and her interest in History had wormed its way into her mind. She applied for both subjects - Architecture major, History minor - at nearly every college in New Lilith, and got accepted by the New Lilith Institute of Technology. She got a part-time job at New Lilith's mountainside Ski Resort to help cover the costs, and now lives in cheap student accommodation off-campus, shuttling in and out of the city on various forms of public transport, and finding time between her work and her studies to engage in a social life.</i></div><br/><br/><b>Sample Post: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""> ""...anyway, that's it for today."" The professor looked up at the lecture hall, maybe a hundred student poised at the edge of their seats with pads and bags in hand. ""Dismissed,"" he said, and hadn't even finished the word before the shuffling of paper and quiet stomping of feet drowned him out. Alex shuffled out at the back of the crowd, tote bag slung over her shoulder and notepad clutched in her hands, hugged to her chest. A beret hid her hair and a pair of large circular sunglasses hid her eyes. She held her head down, only raising it as she stepped outside into the brisk October afternoon air, trying to feel some of the sun's warmth on her face. The nights were fast drawing in, but the weather was still good while the days held. Alex turned as someone called her name. <br/><br/>Jethro. A cute boy she'd met by the virtue of social circles brushing at the edges on a night out, where drinks and laughs and numbers could be shared without a second thought, barely with the first. He'd asked for hers and she'd complied, and then two days later her phone had buzzed and they'd began chatting. It had been a couple weeks and several nights out since then, a few kisses shared and his strong hand on her ass, but no real date yet. Alex wasn't sure if she should expect one. She wasn't really sure if they weren't dating already. She tried not to pay it any mind.<br/><br/>""Alex."" Jethro said, smiling as he pulled her into a hug with a single hand, the other coming out of his jacket pocket to embrace her properly. Alex hugged back and smiled in kind, enjoying his smell and the height of him. When he hugged her, she could press her ear up against his ribs and hear his heart. They stepped apart and he took off his sunglasses. She didn't. They made her feel more confident.<br/><br/>""I wanted to ask you to dinner."" He said, rubbing the back of his head with his hand. She smirked, knuckles turning white from clutching her notepad to stop the smirk turning into a full-blown grin. She raised an eyebrow.<br/>""Dinner? I thought you'd spent all your money on drinks."" She was teasing, doing her best to be playful. He noticed and fell in line.<br/>""I spent all my money on <i>your</i> drinks, maybe."" He grinned, and they both chuckled. ""I'm gonna cook for you. Kicked my flatmates out for the night.""<br/>Alex lowered her notepad to her side and put a hand to her chest in mock surprise. ""Especially for me? Do you spoil all the girls this way, Jet?"" He smiled and tutted.<br/>""I've been known to. Don't share my weed stash with them, though."" Alex's eyes shined. ""Dove forwarded me some for a favour."" They both smiled again and Alex looked at the ground, appearing to mull it over.<br/><br/>""Yeah, alright. Sounds pretty good."" She said, and Jethro bent back on his knees, throwing a hand to his heart and another to his forehead. Alex giggled and pushed at him, and he stepped back to catch himself, grinning as he straightened up. <br/>""Brilliant. Come over for seven?"" He asked, and Alex nodded. They hugged again, and then parted, Alex biting her lip and failing to suppress a wide smile. In hindsight, she <i>hadn't</i> been expecting it, and that had just made it even better. </div><br/><br/><b>Related Reoccurring Characters:</b><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

Since arriving at college, he's been able to let his chain loose a little, especially in the wake of his close friendship with Alex, though he's still holding on to parts of it. He's compassionate and a common go-to for a shoulder to weep on, but still has as good a time at a party or club as the next guy. He's sarcastic a lot but idealistic at heart, and ever the optimist striving for a better world to live in. </i></div><br/><br/><b>Biography:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i> Born 1993, Oliver had a close relationship with both parents, but grew older quickly and realized his sexuality early in High School after wrestling with inner conflicts throughout the end of Middle School and the Summer between the two. He kept it hidden, fearing both his peers and his parents, who unwittingly aided his self-destruction by hinting at girlfriends and asking about dates, talking about 'late bloomers' and the unnecessary anxiety that kept many boys his age from pursuing their romantic feelings. Oliver managed to make it through High School fettered but unscathed, and graduated with high grades, securing a place at the New Lilith Institute of Technology studying Practical Engineering. <br/><br/>He met Alex quickly after a particularly drunken night had her making several attempts to kiss him, and being rebuffed each time, with no other excuse than 'you're drunk, and I'd rather not take advantage'. Alex relented and instead gave him her phone number, impressed by his steadfast chivalry, and they quickly began chatting both over the phone and over pints and cocktails in the Stein and Cauldron. Alex caught on to a repressed issue and eventually, with a little prodding, Oliver gave in and crumbled into her arms, spilling the truth of his sexuality and identity, and the struggles he'd experienced surrounding both. Alex assured him that she thought no worse of him for who he was, and slowly allowed him to embrace himself fully. <br/><br/>Oliver and Alex remain loyal friends, each other's first ports of call for times of hardship, and Oliver has waltzed out of the closet with gay abandon - although he still has not told his parents. </i></div><br/>

<br/><center><b><i>Jethro 'Jet' Tolliver</i></b></center><hr/><center><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/xAkKd1s.jpg""/></center><br/><br/><b>Age:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i>22</i></div><br/><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i> Friendly, generous when drunk, and often regretting being a jackass the morning after, Jethro is near-globally liked for his aura of reassuring calm and the complete lack of judgement that permeates his every thought, word, and action. Many people cite their ability to be 'completely themselves' as their favourite quality of Jethro, and he cites that 'life is too short and the world too miserable' as his reason. He's well aware of his own vices (beer and weed) and his lacking qualities (lack of motivation, little direction in life) and firmly believes in the flaws of other people, allowing them mistakes and opinions and lifestyle choices. If he dislikes someone, he simply lives and let lives, not avoiding them explicitly, but not coming into contact with them if such an action is easy without upsetting others. Some find his choices to be desperate attempts to be liked by everyone, and Jethro himself admits that far too much of his self-esteem is dependent on being liked and loved by many far and wide - but until either of these become a serious issue, he's happy. And to Jethro, that's what matters. </i></div><br/><br/><b>Biography:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i> Born February 1991, Jethro formed a close relationship with his mother at a young age, their humour, tastes, and opinions usually clicking easily, Jethro always having someone to talk to about school, girls, himself, or any number of issues and conflicts, or even just mindless idle chatters. His father, however, was emotionally withdrawn, an inherited issue from his own father, and a trait that Jethro rejected as much as he could. As a result of his dad's inability to properly express himself, Jethro had a far more distant relationship with his father, and the two generally just got on with it, Jethro learning to get by without the strong role model he otherwise desired from his father. He made a few friends in middle school, forming a close-knit group, but mostly kept to himself.<br/><br/>Toward the end of Middle School, Jethro's mother developed Ovarian Cancer. She did well to begin with, but slowly grew worse, her body eventually giving up, unable to fight its own malfunctioning cells any longer. She died shortly after Jethro began High School, and both he and his father took it hard. Jethro began acting out, becoming impatient and prone to fits of temper, starting fights and generally being unco-operative and nasty. He lost the few friends he had, and his grades fell hard - but his father managed to connect with him in their shared grief, and they forced themselves closer, developing a true father-son relationship in the absence of Jethro's mother. In the wake of her death and the loss of his friends, Jethro realized life was too short to waste time on anger, and this revelation lead him to his current easy-going ways.<br/><br/>Jethro's GPA plummeted as a result of his acting out, but he worked hard for the rest of his education, pulling it up as much as he could and scraping middling passes by the end of High School. He passed on the opportunity to pursue a degree, instead landing a decent job at a Classic Car Auto-dealer through connections his Dad had and old favours owed to his mother. He secured a good salary, and moved out of his father's house. He now lives in a 4-bedroom apartment with two flatmates, having many people he'd call friends thanks to his new ways. he met Alex through them, and they're currently tentatively pursuing dating. </i></div><br/>

She strives for perfection, her constantly immaculate makeup just one example of the regulations she lives her life by, seemingly with ease. She's alluring and seductive but, surprisingly to some, she is also a virgin, another line of purity in her life. If her lifestyle causes Kitty stress, there's not one wrinkled crease on her face to suggest so. She's an anchor to her friends, a straight-forward and often brutally blunt rock to keep them grounded and down-to-earth. She rarely loses control of herself, always carefully drinking less than everyone else and declining drugs. She's ambitious herself and an ambition for others, and there are many whispered words about how she manages to do it all. </i></div><br/><br/><b>Biography:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i> Born October with a pale complexion and hair already sprouting from her scalp, Kathryn was a proud addition to the Genaveve family. As she grew, her pale skin became an almost-pristine white in complexion, and her hair dipped to a solid black, shimmering like the feathers of a raven - to her parents, she was their perfect Snow White, a princess to be kept safe. <br/><br/>She met Tré in High School, and they quickly became best friends, Kitty appreciating Tré's sociability (a trait she lacked) and protective instincts, and Tré grateful for someone honest, down-to-earth, and loyal at the core. The two became a force to be reckoned with, their own ways connecting and counterpointing each other perfectly, and many boys - and a few girls - took up the foolish challenge of trying to conquer Kitty and Tré, while the more bitter and spiteful took up the even more foolish challenge of attempting to turn the two against themselves.<br/><br/>With subtle prodding from her parents, and support from Tré, Kitty did well at school, discovered an intense passion for art and sculpture, took little interest in the boys that fawned over them, and left with passable grades and a fixation for perfection ingrained into her unwittingly by her mother and father. She and Tré took a year out, in which Tré found a job serving and bartending at The Stein&amp;Cauldron, and Kitty worked on her sculpting, working with all manner of materials - card, resin, foam, fiberglass, clay - and eventually applied for college for the next year. She got in to the Institute of Technology, and moved into student accommodation. She now lives with Alex, studying Art, major module of Sculpture, and keeps contact with Tré. </i></div><br/>

She knows this, and she loves it and uses it, never turning down free drinks - but it's often said that one of her better qualities is her humility. Tré has never been known to flaunt herself, and in fact it's the lack of intimidation in approaching her, the ease of which she makes you feel like you belong, and how quickly she is to smile and make friends, that truly make her wanted, above good hair and cute dimples. Tré's most apparent quality, however (at least after you get to know her) is her natural maternal and protective instincts, a falling into place as the Mama Bear of the group. Mixed with her spunky nature, she's often found defending her friends - and the friends of her friends - rather passionately, even viciously at times. Tré is easily sociable, quickly amiable, and a fierce protector. And she loves a drink, especially when they're bought for her. </i></div><br/><br/><b>Biography:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><i> Born a Winter child in the deepest cold of December, Tré quickly determined that she far preferred the summer for it's warmth, brightness, long days, masses of free time, and later on in life, the socials and lazy summer evening drinking. She was pretty from a young age, and socialising came easy to her. She made a lot of friends, scraping classes with bare minimum grades. Her social life was far more important to her than her academic life.<br/><br/>In High School, Tré met Kitty, and the pair rapidly formed a fiercely strong bond. Tré needed someone as honest as Kitty, someone who became and stayed loyal for more than a pretty face, someone who told her to take her head out of her arse, to keep her grounded; Kitty needed someone as diplomatic as Tré, someone to protect her through her verbal venom, someone to fight back against those that sought to match Kitty's claws, or sought revenge. The two were unstoppable, and no one could dent their friendship.<br/><br/>Tré didn't care much for her grades, and while she passed High School, she had no ambitions to continue her academic adventure. Instead, she took a year out and supported Kitty's growing passion and talent for art, and found a job serving and bartending at the Stein and Cauldron, one of New Lilith's most popular haunts. Kitty eventually applied for college and got accepted, and Tré remains at the Cauldron. <br/><br/>Tré met Alex through Kitty, who brought her out to the Stein and Cauldron on her first night as a student the day after she'd moved in to their flat. Kitty explained her predicament and Tré could see the anxiety in Alex - and immediately stepped in, maternal instincts kicking up. Alex is now Tré's adoptive little sister, and there's a lot the girl will do to protect her newest friend. </i></div><br/>

Taco.<br/><br/><b>Birthday</b>: December 11th, 1996. Seventeen.<br/><br/><b>Height</b>: 5’0”.<br/><b>Weight</b>: 104 Pounds.<br/><br/><b>Hair Colour</b>: Dark Red.<br/><b>Eye Colour</b>: Green.<br/><br/><b>Appearance</b>:<br/><img src=""http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/100/e/6/id_id_id_id_id_id_id_by_meriirem-d3dnrgf.jpg""/><br/><br/><b>Abilities</b>: Weather Manipulation<br/>Carter possesses the ability to manipulate the weather. With this she can alter the weather in any way she so pleases, having the capability of controlling the meteorological patterns, creating wind, rain, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog, and inducing temperature changes.<br/>Within this ability are four main factors:<br/>Air Manipulation – Carter can create strong winds that travel up to 63 miles per hour, enabling her to focus the air primarily on herself to initiate flight for herself or others.<br/>Electricity Manipulation – With the intensity of a storm rising, Carter can cause lightning to hit particular spots on command (ranging from one lightning streak to three at one time).<br/>Thermal Manipulation – Relating to winter storms, despite whatever the current condition may be, Carter is able to shift the temperature to below freezing or in some occasions, just above one hundred degrees Fahrenheit.<br/>Water Manipulation – Carter is not able to produce water, but instead can form droplets of water molecules from the air to create rain, snow, fog, etc.<br/><br/><b>Limitations</b>:<br/>Carter is not at all familiar with her abilities and what extent her strength may have. As of now, Carter’s abilities are based solely on her emotions, thus having the potential to be unstable if she does not keep her emotions in check. With this comes her inability to stop her abilities once having been manifested. This can lead to a broad category of potential threats about the earth, which discourages Carter from using her abilities more than she should. Her abilities also require a great deal of energy which can limit her to how much power she can use at any given time.<br/><br/><b>Skills and Talents</b>:<br/>-Even after a mere two years of cheer leading, Carter is very flexible and agile.<br/>-She learned from a very young age how to forge any signature and is practically pro at it.<br/>-Carter is an exceptional (and compulsive) liar. Her poker face is unreadable.<br/>-She taught herself how to drive a stick shift as it is all that her multiple sports cars are equipped with.<br/>-Carter is bilingual. She is fluent in both English and Spanish.<br/><br/><b>Equipment</b>:<br/>Not yet familiar with any form of weaponry, Carter has very few belongings that she carries with her throughout her day in a battered messenger bag.

Born to a mother of 25 and a father nearing the age of 27, Carter Sampson lived a childhood of simplicity with a single older brother by the name of Richard (Rickie). Her father, a man of great wealth inherited by his deceased parents, worked as a businessman who rarely visited their beautiful home in Long Beach, California. Her mother, however, a dropout of college, spent her days in their hot tub with a magazine and a glass of champagne in hand, her children left to the nannies.<br/><br/>Neither of the two saw much of their parents. With their father constantly travelling and their mother preferring to shop and seek for entertainment away from her children, Carter found sanctuary in painting, her brother flourishing elsewhere – joining an ice hockey team at the age of seven. Neither of them bothered to befriend the nannies as they were both sturdy on their own. Rickie and Carter managed to juggle school and after school activities as well as homework and a healthy social life. While the two children grew older, they saw less of their parents and less of the nannies. Being that they were not children anymore, nannies weren’t necessary, leaving the housework to the maids that came every morning.<br/><br/>Carter began to grow accustom of staying home alone, her brother often at practice from the time school ended to about 10 o’clock at night. While it was a daily routine of Carter coming home to empty rooms, she purchased a grey kitten that she named Boots. Boots was a handful from the very beginning, and demanded the attention of Carter even when she was not available to do so. He would often act out towards the maids, and hissed if they attempted to go near him. He was, from birth, a very sassy kitten, and longed for Carter’s company day in and day out. Unfortunately for her kitten, Carter too, was quite busy upon entering high school.<br/><br/>Being that her brother was two years older than her, their last name was heard all throughout the campus. From freshman year, Carter was spotted out by all that loved her brother as the younger sister of their best hockey player. This tended to irk Carter, and she sought out to be known as much more than just the little sister of a star. So, she too blossomed. Carter was, overall, a well-rounded student all throughout her middle and high school career. She managed a grade point average of 4.0, became a cheerleader during her freshman year, and was known by everyone. Although she ended cheer leading a year later, she was not an easily hated person as she was kind to all that approached her, and loved by the entire school. Her brother was soon accepted into a prestigious college during her junior year, leaving for school several months later, not bothering to give his sister so much as a goodbye.<br/><br/>She was alone at this point. Utterly alone. And all she had remaining were her so-called friends and her little attention-deprived grey kitten, Boots.<br/><br/><b>Sample Post</b>:<br/>Perhaps the alarm would have been a rude awakening if Boots had not brushed his tail against Carter’s face before it was given the opportunity to go off. Sprawled about the bed with blankets and pillows scattered across her bed, the seventeen year old groaned, shifting away from the little creature. He was not fooled, for the cat moved soundlessly over her figure, once again placing his tail about her head, a purr caught in his throat. He nudged his ear against her cheek and meowed softly, his paw now patting her shoulder tediously. That could only mean one thing: her kitten was hungry.<br/><br/>Grumbling to herself, she scooped the little feline into her arms, sitting upright so that he was aware that she was fully awake. He was content with this movement and settled into her lap, resting there only for a moment before he glanced toward the door and meowed. Carter rolled her eyes, edging herself off the bed, leaving it all to Boots. He seemed to prefer her off the bed, as that was where he slept when she was at school.<br/><br/>Carter trudged to the bathroom, placing her hands about the counter as she inspected the damage of last night’s slumber. Disheveled hair, drool stains just below her bottom lip, smeared eyeliner, and wrinkled PJs. Nothing too bad compared to a night involving alcohol, she had to admit.<br/><br/>Rather than tend to the beast itself, she ran a brush through her hair and swept away the eyeliner as best she could, resulting in less of a mess that she would later on need to take care of. When she turned toward the door, Boots was propped at her feet, his little head craned up at her, his eyes pleading for her attention. She smiled down at her little boy and sighed.<br/><br/>“Alright, let’s go make breakfast,” she told him. If she hadn’t known any better, she would have thought she spotted a small smile reach his lips.<br/><br/>The two padded down the stairway side by side, heading down the long corridor for the kitchen. Of course Boots arrived there first and he made his way up to the counter where he ate, and waited for his meal. Carter chuckled lightly at how eager he was to be fed, and slowly reached for the handle of the fridge. Devastated, her kitten let out a cry, and she gave in, lacing her fingers around the door and tugging.<br/><br/>Someone had gone shopping. The fridge had been packed with a variety of beverages and food items. It was nice to see it all organized for once, being that Rickie usually fucked it up in a matter of hours when he visited. Carter scanned the fridge tentatively, searching for the tuna, and plucked one can from the stack, placing it on the table alongside a plate, a fork, and mayonnaise. For some strange reason, her kitten had taken a liking to human food. Carter had attempted to feed him cat food when his teeth had come in, but after a single sniff, Boots veered toward the fridge, demanding his tuna.<br/><br/>He was a spoiled kitten, as she fed him usually whatever she was eating, but he was her only company and her child. She took him anywhere that she could, and aside from schools, never left him alone. Thankfully, today was Saturday, which meant that her day would be spent watching Gossip Girl in the living room with Boots curled up beside her.<br/><br/>Removing the lid, Carter took the fork and began spooning out the tuna onto the plate. Boots would not touch it yet, however, as the mayonnaise had not been added to it. Carter teased him, taking the jar of mayonnaise back to the fridge to which he meowed at her. Loudly, she might add.<br/><br/>“I was just kidding!” she assured him, though he did not appear amused at all. She added mayonnaise to the tuna and stirred. Once she lifted the fork from the tuna, Boots did not hesitate. He scrambled for the plate and ate quickly, as she’d suspected he would. When he was finished, Carter put away all that needed to be put elsewhere and did the two dishes, not at all surprised that her six plates had vanished from last night.<br/><br/>Making her way to the living room, Carter saw that Boots was already on the couch, awaiting for her to sit so he could adjust to a comfortable position. Tucking a fallen strand of hair behind her ears, Carter claimed the remote and tuned in to the next episode of Gossip Girl. Just as she would any other weekend."

Definately boy.<br/><br/><b>Birthday: </b><br/>14th September 1997, making him 16.<br/><br/><b>Height: </b><br/>181 CM<br/><br/><b>Weight: </b><br/>68 KG<br/><br/><b>Hair Colour: </b><br/>Charcoal.<br/><br/><b>Eye Colour: </b><br/>Green.<br/><br/><b>Appearance: </b><br/>Slim and fit is how you'd most likely describe Jason. He doesn't look like much of a threat, but his body is very lean, having a rather low fat-level.<br/><b>Costume:</b><br/><img src=""http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/081/b/4/jason_campbell_aka_cain_by_hillanx-d7b5q3c.png""/><br/><br/><b>Abilities: </b><br/><i>'Voidling'</i><br/>Jason's powers are channeled through a mark on the left side of his chest, just over his heart. It looks almost like a backwards F, etched into his skin, like scarification. The scar starts to burn with a red glow when Jason feels pain, be it physical or mental. And depending on the level of pain, the more power is channeled from the dimension between life and death, called 'the void', into Jason. Jason can also achieve connection with the void through sheer concentration, but the power he gets from concentration is much less than that he get from raw pain. He himself have dubbed his scar “The mark of Cain”. Due to the nature of his powers, he is substantially more powerful after being wounded, counter-attacks are his best weapon.<br/><br/>The first 'stage' of his powers. While in this form, his cognitive functions are enhanced. He thinks faster and his mind registers things faster, enhancing his reflexes. It allows him to short-distance teleport, a<i>blink.</i>Blinking virtually doesn't drain him at all, allowing him to teleport very quickly in a rather short proximity. Stage one requires minimal concentration, and is as such what is most commonly used by Jason. He can keep up his stage one for almost 20 whole minutes, needing roughly five seconds in between each blink.<br/><br/>With more focusing, more time and more pain, Jason's able to reach his second stage. In stage two, his physical capabilities increase. His physical power doubling, making him both stronger and faster. The black ooze begins to grow thicker, and starting to 'attach' itself to his body. Not only blinks are available to him but also a long distance teleport, a<i>Rift Jump</i>becomes available to him. He's able to rift jump several miles.<br/>He can keep up his second stage for no more than a few minutes. However, rift jumping tires him out very greatly at this time. He rarely uses his second stage.<br/><br/>His third stage is the last one he knows But at this stage, the ooze would begin to steam violently from his body. Sometimes make big bubbles of the steam, all the while adding thin layers of itself on his skin. In the third stage, his physical power is ten folded. He's able to make several rift jumps in a short span of time, should he need to, or blink with almost no time intervall inbetween each blink. If he would currently somehow achieve his third stage, he couldn't hold it for more than half a minute, after which he'd pass out and need several days of rest before teleporting again.<br/>He's only used this stage once, he was passed out for 36 hours afterwards, and could barely walk for an entire week afterwards, as such, he's not gonna be using it unless it's his last shot.<br/><br/>There are at least two more stages to his powers, not yet known to him.<br/><br/><b>Skills and Talents: </b><br/><br/><i>Sleight of Hand:</i>Jason's agile in his movements, able to pick most common locks, unless they're very modern, lifting a wallet from most people's child's play to the young man. He's also pretty skilled at hot wiring vehicles.<br/><br/><i> Free Running:</i>Mostly due to his athletic figure and him growing up climbing trees and fences, Jason's a rather skilled free runner, and his powers makes free running his preferred method of transportation.<br/><br/><i>Fighting:</i><br/>Jason's received very little formal training in martial arts. He's picked up a few street fighting tricks, however, his biggest influence is grappling fighting, wrestling, and some boxing. He is however very resourceful in terms of weaponry, using them very freely in combination with his abilities.<br/><br/><i>Slick:</i>Jason's armed with a rather quick tongue. Not necessarily either witty or a silver tongue, the young man have a good balance between bad boy / trouble maker, and sweet / charming.<br/><br/><i>Mechanic:</i>Jason's a rather comfortable mechanic, he likes to fiddle with motorcycles or cars. He personally prefers the export cars from Asia.<br/><br/><i>Sewing</i>Jason's a pretty skilled tailor, as it was the only activity left for him to choose from in Juvie.<br/><br/><b>Equipment: </b><br/>He drives a<a href=""http://philscarblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/dsc2362a4zs.jpg"">Mazda Rx-4</a>that he bought from a cop impound. The car had been in impounded from a crackhead, the car is in rather severe need of a tuneup, and a new paint job. He also owns a fake ID that claims him to be 21 years old.<br/><br/>Besides that, Jason doesn't carry a lot on his person. Wallet, phone.<br/>In costume, however, he have several weapons. A homemade bo-staff, knuckle dusters, and throwing knives are on his person. He also likes to use weapons like chains or ropes, in combination with his powers to defeat his enemies.<br/><br/><b>Biography: </b><br/>Jason Campbell is the son of two very loving people, Mary and Bruce Campbell. He's the second son, his older brother, Thomas, being adopted. Thomas is a year and a half older than Jason. Jason's childhood was marvelous. He grew up having fun, playing with his brother and being taken care off by his father.. His father, Bruce, was a police detective, and his mother ran the farm the two boys were raised on. Bruce, his father, always paid more attention to Thomas, for some reason during their childhood. Thomas was the good son. Who did his chores without a complaint, hard working and responsible. Jason was, and have always been quite the slacker, always trying to cheat his way out of chores.<br/><br/>Once Jason became 9, he'd stop being home schooled by his mother, but instead ride with his father and brother to Longhorn City, where the closest school, and police department was. It was in the Longhorn elementary school, named McCoy Elementary, where Jason's life started taking a particular turn. The boy started getting into trouble, time and time again. Either with the teachers, or with other students. Getting into fights was almost common for him. Jason attempted to be social with his peers, but he soon found himself a social outcast, all the while watching, from the side lines, how his bigger brother, Thomas, flourished. Jason had bad grades, where as his brother, whom had been in the same class as him, just two years prior had top grades, making the teachers question if they really were from the same family.<br/><br/>Jason had one friend, her name was Gretchen. A ginger girl, slightly overweight. But she appreciated Jason, laughed at his jokes, and tried to keep the boy out of the trouble he so constantly sought out.<br/><br/>Gretchen was also bullied, the boys in their class would pick on her, call her names and so forth, and Jason would always get into fights with them. The boy spent more time at the nurses office than anyone else. Bruce and Mary sat in parent-teacher conferences almost once a week due to Jason's behavior.<br/><br/>Jason's situation got worse when he turned 14, about to start High School. In the years prior, Jason had found out about the extraordinarily nature of his brother. How his brother was unlike anyone else. It didn't bother him in itself, what bothered him was how in contrast to his brother, Jason was unimportant. And it made him act out. Jason got into one of the local small time gangs in Longhorn. Selling weed, making graffiti and once in a while breaking into a local store.<br/><br/>Jason did soon pick up pick-pocketing and lock picking, making him very adept at stealing vehicles.<br/>He stole his first car by the time of the senior Homecoming dance, his freshman year of high school. The car belonged to one of the senior jocks who had been bullying him for quite some time.<br/>He had a romance with Gretchen, for whom puberty and a gym-membership had made wonders. They broke it off in the sprint of their freshman year, along with their friendship, due to Jason cheating on her with a junior cheerleader.<br/><br/>Jason participated in parties, car thefts, street fights and all of the sort. He never got caught for something that would stick to in court, as he was a minor. But he spent quite a few nights in jail.<br/><br/>At the start of 2013, disaster struck the young man. Bruce Campbell, his father, got a heart attack, and he subsequently died in the ambulance that was taking him to the hospital. Jason being absolutely distraught with the death of his father, set out. He got into a fight. A really bad one, too. The cops arrived, to find Jason, sitting against a wall in an alley a piece of rebar in his hand. In the alley, there laid three older boys. All beaten unconscious. Jason had no clue what had happened, as he simply just remembered blacking out. He also felt a searing pain over his heart, the boy finding the scar on his body.<br/><br/>Jason was sentenced to one year of Juvenile for assault for two years. However, due to overcrowding, and good behaviour, Jason's been released a year and a half early.<br/>He's spent the last month or so testing his powers, trying to figure out how they work.<br/><br/><b>Sample Post: </b><br/><br/>Jason put the car in park, as he stopped outside of the gym. He got out, putting on his leather jacket and his aviators, as the sun was shining on his rather gold autum day. No snow had fallen yet, in fact, Jason had yet to experience snow for the first time in his life. One of the things he was genuinely excited about living in his new town.<br/><br/>Jason walked towards the entrace of the gym, putting his hand in the pocket of his jacket. In it, what looked like an extern harddrive laid. A guy came walking out of the gym, 5'9, black hair, athletic build, caucasian, probably 20-ish years old, possibly a college student. ""Howdy there, buddy!"" Jason told him, with a smile, stretching out his hand for a handshake. The guy, a bit reluctantly shook Jason's hand. The guy fiddled out money from his pocket. Three hundred dollars. Jason smiled.<br/><br/>""Here you go, the harddrive, just like the add stated."" Jason said while handing him the plastic piece that in fact contained the drugs. Jason moved past him, to head into the gym. He wasn't a member of the gym, so the texan was gonna go in there, hit on the quite receptionist, and then head back to his car. He had a meeting with a parole officer later today."

With all of them together they had created a nice clearing with beautiful landscaping and a surrounding fence. The area gave off a very light and happy feeling. May hated it during the day, but at night though she used shadows to create dark spikes around the area for defense. She made it look eerie at night and she loved that. May adjusted her loose pigtails and pulled her black hood back over her head. She wore a black hooded jacket over a short black dress that was tight until her waist where it just naturally flowed from. She wore purple thigh high socks with black combat like boots. May stayed in the shadows observing everyone else and avoiding being social."

He liked it up there: he could see the sky and no one bothered him. Not that any of them were stupid enough to bother him anyway. The blonde-haired male sighed slightly as she reclined back on the sun-warmed tiles, electric blue eyes gazing skyward. He sent his senses outward and was able to detect that tonight was going to be calm and cloudless. Pity, he could do with a lightening storm right about now. He contemplated using his power but then shrugged the idea away, not really wanting to go through the trouble. He closed his eyes briefly, the wind gently ruffling his light locks."

He disappeared into the darkness of the forest, deciding to get away from them before one of them made him angry and made him loose control of his power.

</div><br/>Full Name: May Jones<br/>Age:16<br/>Element: Darkness<br/>Personality: May is a very distant girl. She is often one to disappear easily because she is afraid of others in a way. May gives off a dark, mysterious aura but truly she is a kind girl but that is only if you can get past her cold steel barrier that blocks everyone out.<br/>History: May was born the eldest of her siblings and was meant to take over her kingdom when she reached the correct age and found a husband. Her parents always dressed her in girly clothing with her hair on top of her head whether it was an up-do, high pony tail, or two high pigtails. May despised the clothing along with her duties and responsibilities placed upon her. As a young girl May discovered her abilities when she wanted to hide from getting a makeover for a dinner so she could meet the young boy who would grow up to be her husband. She had backed into the corner where the light didn't reach and had wished for herself to be hidden. The maid walked in and looked everywhere for May, she even looked straight at her but she didn't see May. May then walked out of the shadows and looked at herself in a mirror. A shadow seemed to encase her making her hidden in the shadows but not if she was standing in light. May secretly learned new things about her ability and soon learned to better control it. She had almost full control until the dark day arrived.<br/>May's parents had died and she was meant to take over the kingdom at the age of 16. May wasn't ready and she could tell that her brother who had been adopted by her parents and was 18 at the time absolutely hated that she was going to get the throne and not him. What May didn't know was that he knew of her powers and was going to draw it out of her to make them fear her and allow him to be king. Jake, her adopted brother, had to wait though for the perfect time though. Soon it came. May walked out onto the balcony wearing her hair in two high pigtails. She then also wore a white dress with pink flowers, white tights, and light pink heels. After the priest crowned her and announced her as queen Jake set his plan in motion. He pretend to trip and fell over the side of the balcony since he had been behind her as she was crowned. May ran to the balcony and stuck her hand out, a claw of darkness grabbed him and gently set him on the ground. The crowd freaked out and Jake began calling her a monster. The guards ran up to arrest her because no witchery was allowed at the kingdom. When the guards arrived her anger over took her and shadows encased her turning her dress black and the pink flowers dark purple. She kicked off her heels and used shadows to make her an escape route. She ran clearing her path with shadows and just kept running. She ran for days until she was far from any kingdom. That is where May met other princes and princesses like her. She only agreed to stay with them because she knew she'd need help when her evil brother came after her.<br/>Theme Song:<iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/CAJdqsQBgcU?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/>Other: - - -<br/>[/hider]"

He is, more often than not, willing to leave those who slow him down behind, even if it means their death. Despite his words, Ryker frequently saves those around him, and even puts his own life at risk, though he does it grudgingly and openly complains. Ryker is more or less emotionless; only anger, annoyance, and dissatisfaction showing on his face. He has absolute confidence in his power. Ryker has a very inquiring mind when there is something he cares about, but at the same time, he has almost no tenacity of purpose. If he becomes interested in something else, he will arbitrarily turn his back on what he's doing, even during battle. Just like his fighting style, he is quick to make decisions and act on then immediately. <br/><br/>He doesn't like to speak of it.

May gives off a dark, mysterious aura but truly she is a kind girl but that is only if you can get past her cold steel barrier that blocks everyone out. <br/>History: May was born the eldest of her siblings and was meant to take over her kingdom when she reached the correct age and found a husband. Her parents always dressed her in girly clothing with her hair on top of her head whether it was an up-do, high pony tail, or two high pigtails. May despised the clothing along with her duties and responsibilities placed upon her. As a young girl May discovered her abilities when she wanted to hide from getting a makeover for a dinner so she could meet the young boy who would grow up to be her husband. She had backed into the corner where the light didn't reach and had wished for herself to be hidden. The maid walked in and looked everywhere for May, she even looked straight at her but she didn't see May. May then walked out of the shadows and looked at herself in a mirror. A shadow seemed to encase her making her hidden in the shadows but not if she was standing in light. May secretly learned new things about her ability and soon learned to better control it. She had almost full control until the dark day arrived.<br/>May's parents had died and she was meant to take over the kingdom at the age of 16. May wasn't ready and she could tell that her brother who had been adopted by her parents and was 18 at the time absolutely hated that she was going to get the throne and not him. What May didn't know was that he knew of her powers and was going to draw it out of her to make them fear her and allow him to be king. Jake, her adopted brother, had to wait though for the perfect time though. Soon it came. May walked out onto the balcony wearing her hair in two high pigtails. She then also wore a white dress with pink flowers, white tights, and light pink heels. After the priest crowned her and announced her as queen Jake set his plan in motion. He pretend to trip and fell over the side of the balcony since he had been behind her as she was crowned. May ran to the balcony and stuck her hand out, a claw of darkness grabbed him and gently set him on the ground. The crowd freaked out and Jake began calling her a monster. The guards ran up to arrest her because no witchery was allowed at the kingdom. When the guards arrived her anger over took her and shadows encased her turning her dress black and the pink flowers dark purple. She kicked off her heels and used shadows to make her an escape route. She ran clearing her path with shadows and just kept running. She ran for days until she was far from any kingdom. That is where May met other princes and princesses like her. She only agreed to stay with them because she knew she'd need help when her evil brother came after her.<br/>Theme Song: <iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/CAJdqsQBgcU?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/>Other: - - - <br/>

He couldn't be serious now, could he? She already had hardly any privacy with the paparazzi watching them every single time they had a chance to, but with a bodyguard, even the little bit of privacy she had would be gone.<br/><br/>She heard her father letting out a sigh. ""Honey, you have to understand that it's for your own safety."" He answered, looking at her. ""Oh yeah, this is because that damn gang would kill me otherwise, right? Like they could even aim a gun at me without someone taking a picture or getting the moment caught on tape."" She answered. ""You're thinking too little of them."" Was the only reply she got. ""No, what I'm thinking that because of you, even my last bit of privacy will be gone. After all, I'm your daughter, and you're not willing to do what they want, making them want to kill me. Like you'd even care much if that would happen other than that you would be portrayed as a terrible father!""<br/><br/>Another audible sigh came from her father. ""Helena, I have to go, I don't have time for this. You're getting a bodyguard, today, and that's it."" After he had said those words, he walked out of the house and shut the door behind him. Of course he did. That's how all their discussions ended. Helena took a seat on one of the,chairs at the dining table and let out.a frustrated sigh."

He looked around the place he was standing in, he had his orders keep the girl safe and don't get to know her. Leo sat down in a seat, waiting on her father or her to show up for that matter anyway."

""Mrs. Rivers?"" The maid asked, causing Helena to look up and sigh softly. ""Like big said before, you don't have to call me like that, just my first name would be good. But anyway, what is it?"" Helena asked. ""Your bodyguard has arrived."" The maid announced, causing Helena to get up and follow her to where they let the bodyguard wait. The house was rather big, but the maids and Helena herself knew the way.<br/><br/>Helena still didn't like the idea of a bodyguard, but had accepted the fact that she would be having one, and that there was nothing she could do about it. She supposed she might as well not make it any more difficult for the bodyguard to be around her all day, or at least not on purpose.<br/><br/>When they had arrived in the room where her bodyguard was, Helena looked at him for a while. Somehow he looked familiar, but it took her a moment to figure out what was exactly so familiar about this man. When she finally thought she realised it, she got a surprised look on her face, and a moment she was quiet in disbelief. ""Leo?"" She asked carefully, to make sure it was him. After all it had been years since the last time they saw each other, and who knew how much he had changed by then. Even if this man looked like her childhood friend, it was still possible that he wasn't who she thought he was."

""Long time no see Helena never thought I would see you again,"" an old trouble maker smirk made it to his face. ""Never thought I'd see you again,"" he rubbed his jaw then out his hands in his pockets. ""My boss said I would be a bodyguard for someone, looks like being your bodyguard will be worth it.""<br/><br/>She had grown since he last seen her, his soft blue eyes looking at her taking in her figure. ""Looks like you've grown a lot since, I last saw you how many years has it been 7 or 8 years since I've seen you."" He looked at her after his eyes took in what was around him, ""my boss wanted me to have a room right next to yours just in case something bad happened I could get to you fast."""

You were suddenly gone and you didn't come back, so I thought I'd never see you again."" Helena said, a wide smile on her face. After eight years of thinking that he had moved to a different country, or even thinking he died, Leo was standing right in front of her. It was unbelievable, and she had never been happier to see someone more than him.<br/><br/>Maybe if Leo was going to be her bodyguard, it wasn't going to be as bad she first thought it would be. After all, her body guard was her childhood friend she used to get along with very well, how bad could it be to have him around all the time? When he mentioned he needed to sleep in a room next to hers, Helena nodded. ""Sure, that should be no problem. I'll show you around."" She answered, looking at Leo."

As she showed him around he took notes, in his head so then he would be able to get through the house like it was his own when it actually wasn't. His job was to make sure Helena was safe, from the gang even if it meant losing his life.<br/><br/>""It's just been a hard life when I moved away from here, struggling to make money."" He shrugged, it wasn't a really big deal now, he made a good amount of money for working for the FBI. He looked around taking in the house while making the notes in his head, ""once I left town how have you been holding up Helena?"""

""Lonely. It might sound fun, having a famous actor as your father, but it really isn't. He leaves at insanely early hours and comes back home very late. I hardly get to spend any time with him at all and he just doesn't seem to care about it. And seeing friends isn't an option neither, because I don't have any. No real friends, actually. All they care for is that my father is rich and famous, not about who I am and if they even like me in the first place. Not that they'd admit it if they don't."" Helena said, and when she got to her room, she stopped walking and opened the door.<br/><br/>""But you've been a real friend to me, and now you're back, so I guess I won't be as lonely as before."" She added as put a smile on her face, before walking into the room, which was quite large and looked warm and inviting, with one of the walls being covered by pictures. ""This is my room, though I'm not here often when I'm at home and not asleep, I'd much more prefer to be in the garden, or the gallery. But you can always walk in if you want to."" She said, smiling friendly. She was really happy her friend was back, even if he was going to be her bodyguard."

He saw the pictures, then saw the one when him and Helena went to the beach, that light browned tan boy smiling with his arms wrapped around a girl in front of him. ""Looks like you still have that old photo of when we went to the beach , man was that a long time ago."" He rubbed the back of his neck, it looked like her room would be the first place the gang searched if they broke in.<br/><br/>He knew the sniper wouldn't get a good shot at her in her room, which was good still he had to worry about the gang breaking in. He took in the outside surroundings, they couldn't get in unless they kicked in the door which Leo would hear them do. Now lock picking, that would be the problem. He saw other pictures of him and Helena, she kept most of the pictures they had taken together over the years before he moved."

""I kept pretty much all pictures with you and I on them. They're my favourite ones, because they hold the best memories to me."" She said, which was true. The other pictures were nice and all, but the pictures of Leo and her remembered her about their time as friends while they were younger, the best moments of her life so far. Those pictures actually meant something, and that didn't count for all pictures.<br/><br/>Once she was done talking, Helena looked up to Leo once again. ""Say, when your room is ready and you unpacked everything, we could go to the forest or anything. There's not really something I have to do, anyway."" She suggested, looking at Leo. Just going somewhere together wasn't such a bad idea, or at least not to her. As her bodyguard he was meant to be close to her anyway, so they might as well make it fun."

If someone tried to shoot at her, he had his pistol under his jacket. Still he looked around the room, waiting on Helena. He was ready at all times having a gun on him, ready to protect her at a seconds notice. The regular Leo would disappear, and his training would kick in. He would protect her it was his job and she was his friend.<br/><br/>They had gotten to the woods, he liked the woods it was nice and quiet usually. He breathed in the air, he was glad he was outside again and just for some fun. He wasn't a job and he was at the same time he should of decided this earlier, take this job he would have to protect Helena and he was having fun in the mean time."

She loved the place, it was just so calm and quiet and peaceful, a place where she could really calm down and feel at ease. It was wonderful just to be there and enjoy nature. And this time, she wasn't even all alone out in the forest.<br/><br/>She had taken her camera with her in case she would see something she wanted to take a picture of, even though she doubted it. She had been in the forest a lot of times already and had taken much pictures before, so she doubted if she could still find something. But she could always take pictures of Leo, and maybe she and Leo together. ""This forest is my favourite place to be."""

He had his hands in his pockets as he looked around, his eyes kept going back to Helena. He remembered all those times Helena dragged him in here against his will, then he finally got to love this place.<br/><br/>Leo found the old x he carved into a tree where him and Helena would meet, he put his hand on the tree. Closing his eyes remembering all those days him and Helena had met. His phone rang, he sighed picking it up. ""Hello?"" His boss on the other side of the phone, ""are you with the girl?"" Leo nodded, ""I am"" he could feel his bosses smile which sent a shiver down his back. ""Good,"" then he hung up ""that was my boss he wanted to make sure I made it to you."""

""I thought you didn't like the forest?"" She asked, remembering very well how back when they were younger, he hadn't liked the place at all. When she noticed the X carved in the tree where Leo put his hand against, she smiled. This was the place where they would always meet, and the X marked that. She took a picture of Leo's hand resting on the bark and so close to the X before he removed his hand again. It would probably seem like a silly picture, but not to her. To her, the X was a reminder of their old meeting place when they were just kids, and with the hand of the young adult man next to it, it showed that he still remembered that, and even visited the spot.<br/><br/>She slowly started to walk, knowing Leo would follow after her. They always walked together in the forest and didn't leave the other behind, that was just the way it was. The forest was coloured in the brown, yellow and orange colours of autumn and the leaves crunched under their shoes as they walked. Helena loved autumn a lot, but still, her favourite season had to be spring."

He had his hands in his pockets,<i> she has grown up a lot I just can't believe I'm seeing her again.</i>He smiled at the thought, they were about to get to the river. He remembered the old boat he was working on back then he just hoped it didn't get destroyed while he was gone.<br/><br/>They got to the river, he saw the old boat he was making when he was younger, it still looked the same. That meant he could have it finished in a few weeks or so. He never told Helena about the boat, he wanted it to be a surprise when they were younger well it wasn't now. He really didn't care if she found out a few weeks ago, he just wanted to get it done."

""It had been here like that for quite long already, nobody ever works on it to get it done. I wonder why..."" Helena asked, having no clue whose boat it was, and neither did anyone else she knew know who it belonged to. The boat had became one of the forest's mysteries to her, one she couldn't solve. But that only made the unfinished boat that much more fascinating to her.<br/><br/>""Some people even made a scary story about the boat, saying that it's cursed. They say that the person who started in the boat first died, and that because of the curse, everyone else who worked on it later died too, and that the curse is the reason it never got finished. But I don't believe that curses and things like that exist."" She told to Leo, looking at him."

""I was the one who started building this, but before I could finish we moved."" The hull was smooth wood, with an engine that was a good engine for just going up and down the river.<br/><br/>He knew he could get the boat finished in a few weeks at most, he smiled at the old thought of his brother then quickly disappeared. His brother had died in a car accident 2 years ago a drunk driver had been driving and killed his brother on impact. He pulled out the old photo of him working on the boat, his brother had taken this picture of him."

She said, smiling. Of course it had been something simple like that. People were just always overacting over the unfinished boat and made up ridiculous stories that made no sense at all. Why didn't anyone ever think of the most simple solution rather than making a horror story all based on an unfinished boat? It was just crazy.<br/><br/>Smiling, Helena still couldn't believe that Leo was right there with her. It had been eight years since they last met, and after he left she had thought she'd never see him again. But there they were again, and how happy was she to be with him again, the one and only real friend she ever had. And how did they change during these years... They weren't young teens visiting high school anymore, they were young adults now. And in all honesty, Helena just had to admit that Leo turned out very handsome."

He smiled at the old thought, the little skinny kid turned into a medium build man with light brown hair with a light black beard that he kept shaved. He got up, stuffing the old picture of him and his brother in his pocket starting to walk back over to Helena till he heard gun shots.<br/><br/>He quickly got Helena into cover, getting his 9MM out ready to fire. He peeked out of cover, seeing one of the gang members that were described to him. He shot his pistol, hitting him in the shoulder, watching the guy run off he let out a breath he didn't know he was even holding. He put the pistol back in its holster, under his coat out of sight."

She knew it was Leo, it couldn't be anyone else, but she was too scared and shocked to feel safe, even with the strong man so close to her. Only a while after the gunshots had died out and she heard Leo sighing, she dared to open her eyes to see if everything was alright again.<br/><br/>There wasn't any shooter to be seen wherever she looked, but her sight was blurred by the tears caused by the shock gathering in her eyes. She was shaking, and so was her breathing, shaky and fast. When she looked at Leo she said nothing, too much in shock to do so. All she knew was that from that moment on, she just wanted to be even closer to her friend, who had just saved her life by risking his own. But she also wanted to yell at him for doing so. Even if it was his job to protect her at any cost, she didn't want him to risk his life to save her."

He said nothing as he lead them back to her house, he didn't know what to say it was his job to protect her, but also he knew she wanted to yell at him for risking his own life for hers.<br/><br/>He sat her down in a chair, he kept his gun on him at all times. It was the safest way to keep Helena safe. He her arm the kneeled down in front of her. ""Helena your safe no one will touch you or harm you while I'm around alright?"" He looked into her eyes, all his hardships showing in his eyes as he met hers."

She understood that it had to be hard for him too, shooting people and seeing how she felt. After all they were friends, but now he was his bodyguard too, which would mean he'd have to give his life for hers if he needed to, while knowing what she thought of that.<br/><br/>She nodded quietly, still not knowing what she should or wanted to say. With her eyes still filled with tears and shock she looked away, finding it unbearable to see the pain in her friend's eyes. Instead she looked at the camera hanging around her neck, and she noticed vaguely that the lens was broken, probably when Leo covered her, but couldn't care at the moment."

By his own free will, his boss had made him sign it he had no other choice.<br/><br/>He knew she wanted to say something, but didn't know how to put it into words at the moment. He gave her the time she needed to gather herself up again.

""I don't want you to be who you should be according to your contract. I want you be who you really are: my friend."" Was all she said, looking up to him with the tears she tried to hold back so badly now rolling down her face. She didn't want him to be her bodyguard, someone meant only to be around her for the sole reason of protection and to sacrifice himself if needed. All she wanted was to have her friend back, the one she thought she had lost many years ago and,seemed to have finally found again, but who now seemed to be just out of reach.<br/><br/>She couldn't care that she was crying and started sobbing loudly, that her sight was blurred by tears and that her camera lens was broken. She didn't care about any of that all as she wanted to just curl up against her friend, wishing for her to soothe her and tell her that everything was going to be fine as she tried to recover from her shock.

""I remember that time we went surfing once and I couldn't take my eyes off you while on a wave in the end I wiped out, by the time I got back on the beach you were there laughing at me.

He was only barely a part of her life, she only saw him maybe two hours a day. So what would give him the right to judge and boss her, while never being there for her anyway?

She didn't want to go to bed just yet and be alone, being with Leo had felt just too safe, but she also understood that he would have to be fully rested in order to protect her, despite how much she disliked going to sleep. She just quietly wished he could sleep with her, not to do anything intimate with him, but because she felt so safe while he was close to her.<br/><br/>""I'll take a shower first, but you can go to bed if you want."" She said, being pretty certain that after being thrown onto the ground so Leo could cover her, taking a quick shower wasn't such a bad idea."

That was it he usually slept in his jeans most of the time, he went to the bathroom and shaved off whatever beard was showing on his face, but he kept the stubble. He went back to his room, getting some other stuff out and then laying on the bed.<br/><br/>Helena had grown up a lot ever since he had moved 8 years ago. He wondered how hard her life was without him around. He pushed that thought out of his head for the moment, her life wasn't as hard as his killing people and doing other things for the FBI that he didn't want to but he had to in order to keep his job."

She dried herself with her soft, cream coloured towel and afterwards stepped into a simple pantie and a short, black nightgown that was quite short and didn't even reach her knees. Despite the fact that it was a little shorter than Helena preferred, it was just perfect for this time of the year, with the,weather being so hot, even at night. The thin fabric and short length made sure she wouldn't get too hot while wearing it, yet the length was appropriate, not making the nightgown look like something slutty.<br/><br/>She walked to her room with silent footsteps and stepped into her bed right away. The last thought on her mind before falling asleep, was how happy she was to have her friend back again, even under these circumstances."

He slowly got up, he didn't bother with a shirt or wen getting his boots on. He grabbed his pistol, slowly making his way down stairs seeing one of the members had made it in and was trying to let his buddies in. Leo held his gun up, ""stay where you are and you won't get shot,"" he said in a low tone close to a growl.<br/><br/>The member was suprised to see a man bigger and stronger than him holding a gun toward him, he took a step forward. ""I said stop where you are,"" still Leo kept that low voice. He the gang member swallowed then bolted toward Leo, fighting for control of the gun it went off hitting Leo in the shoulder. He grunted, the kicked the gang member back. By that time he had him tied up, by the time Helena's father woke up Leo was bleeding steadily from his shoulder."

""Leo!"" She yelled worried when she saw his bleeding shoulder, paying no attention to the gang member as she rushed towards her friend. When her father tried to stop her, Helena pushed him away and stopped running when she got to Leo, quickly dialling 911.<br/><br/>When she hung up her phone again, Helena looked worried at her friend. But not only did she feel worried, but also angry at her father. He was to blame for all of this, for making her a target and her friend getting hurt. When her father supportively put a hand on her shoulder, she slapped it away. ""If you're only going to pretend to care now that someone got hurt, just get the hell away already!"" She snapped, looking at her father."

He had done his job, but got wounded in the process. At least Helena was ok that's what mattered to him, he grunted in pain as the adrenaline wore off. He slowly sank down into the sitting position leaning against a wall.<br/><br/>The world was spinning to him, his vision coming in and out of focus. The only thing he could focus on was, Helena if he didn't he would let the darkness take a hold of him. Still he wouldn't allow that, not with her probably still in danger.

The others had fled the scene, leaving their friend to get caught by the cops. Helena paid no attention to him, even once, not caring about him at all. All she cared for at that exact moment was Leo's wellbeing. She sat down close to him, making sure he didn't lose too much blood and didn't leave his side, not even a second, until the police and ambulances arrived.<br/><br/>When they got there she gave the men some space as they got Leo into the ambulance and insisted on going to the hospital with her friend, getting into the back of the vehicle as well and sitting down, searching for Leo's hand and holding it during the ride.

He was slowly letting the darkness take him, he felt a small warm hand in his Helena was the first thought that came to him. She was in the ambulance with him riding toward the hospital, he knew the bullet had went into his shoulder blade they would have to have to do surgery to get it out.<br/><br/>The darkness took him, once he woke up again he.panicked for a second then relaxed as his thoughts came back to him. He could still feel the pain in his shoulder which meant they hadn't gotten all of the bullet out of his shoulder, his eyes looked around the room then landing on Helena in a chair beside his bed he smiled weakly at least she was ok."

""You're alright..."" She said soft, only believing the words now that he was awake again. Of course the doctors had told her that he was going to be alright, and that a shot on his shoulder wasn't fatal, but still, the moments during the surgery she had felt worse than she ever had before.<br/><br/>But now, everything was okay again, and Helena felt happier than ever before to see her friend opening his eyes. He didn't lose too much blood or anything, he was alive and going to be healthy again, and that was just all Helena wanted. And in the moment when she hugged him, overtook by happiness and relief, she couldn't stop herself from placing a soft, gentle kiss on her lips. When she did her face turned a bright red colour, making her realise how she actually felt about her friend now that he was back, and both of them older."

He didn't care though, he kissed her back showing all his feelings toward her and how long he kept it to himself to scared to tell her with words. Leo couldn't even trust his mouth with the right words to say, he knew what would happen if he did he would say something really stupid."

She looked at Leo with a smile on her face, but didn't say anything, simply being at loss of words. Though she was sure that the kiss had meant more than a million words ever would, no matter how sweet and poetic the words would be.

Finally she had all her feelings clear and answered, only to hear it wasn't possible. Like earlier that day, he was being so close to her, yet just out of reach, but this time not just in her thoughts, but for real. The kiss, which was only a few seconds into the past, had given her the most wonderful feeling in the world, but now, she felt more horrible than ever before.<br/><br/>""But when this is over... When they're caught we can, right? When everything is safe, can we get close to each other?"" She asked hopefully, looking at Leo. Of course it was going to be horrible to know how they both felt and not being able to share those feelings together, but if it wouldn't be that way forever, that she would only have to wait, than it would at least be a little less worse."

He called a friend of his to grab histruck and drive it over to the hospital. ""Thanks man I owe you,"" as his buddy tossed the keys to him.

After being shot at earlier that day and Leo actually getting hit, she genuinely cared about her safety, and Leo's as well. For a short moment, she leaned over to him and placed a quick, soft kiss on his cheek. ""I hate that we have to wait, but if what you're saying is true and we will be able to be together once everything is taken care of, than I believe you, and I'll wait. I'd wait my whole life for you, if I have to."" She said.<br/><br/>Maybe she shouldn't had given him that kiss on his cheek, but how much bad could a kiss on the cheek be? It wasn't just a thing lovers did, family and friends did too, sometimes. A kiss like that might be special for them, but didn't look like anything special at all."

He ss I'd in a soft voice, he got the truck onto the main road heading back to her place or there's or whatever people wanted to call it.<br/><br/>It would be a little bit of a long drive, since her father had wanted to live on the south side of town and the only hospital was on the north side. It would take at least an hour for them to get there, the highway lights passed over them as he looked at the road.

She still knew what he had promised her earlier that day. That he would be her friend, not her bodyguard. She felt happy to know that the kiss hadn't changed his mind about that, considering it too dangerous to even be her friend. But still, she couldn't help the fact that she quietly wished they could treat each other as more than just friends, but instead sharing the feelings they had towards each other.<br/><br/>Looking out of the car window, Helena sighed softly. Those people in the other cars probably had it easy. Or at least not as bad as she and Leo had it.

He was more of a guy who talked than stayed quiet. Still this whole assignment made him nervous it was nothing he ever did before he never waited for the other guys to make the move first.

Still he just watched her, she hadn't noticed his presence yet, but he really didn't care he stood there quietly enjoying the moment for now till she would finally notice him.

So in her eyes, there was nothing she should be embarrassed of.<br/><br/>""Why don't you come over here?"" She asked, still looking at him. He was much farther away than he had to be right now, and there,was absolutely no need for that. She wanted to have him close to her, to just talk it br with him instead of being alone.

In the background of the picture where she was lying on top of him, after she tripped, she could see their friend laughing.<br/><br/>Looking at them she smiled a little. It had been so long since she'd seen them because they had all been so busy with college... But now they had vacation, so how busy could they be?

It would just be a matter of being patient until everything was over and they were safe again.<br/><br/>She quietly wondered if they should tell their friends. Not that she was the daughter of a famous actor. No, although they hadn't known from the beginning, she had eventually told them, and they treated her normal. She guessed they could also just tell them that Leo had to be her bodyguard, but she wasn't sure if they could also tell how they felt about each other right now.

So until she got it fixed, the camera wasn't of much use. Such a shame, though. She would've loved to take pictures of their friends, everyone back together, and she wanted to make some photos of that lake Leo was talking about, too. She had to make sure to get her lens fixed soon."

He knew Helena was still awake, so there was really no reason to get her up. He walked toward her room, waiting outside her door. ""You'll call them I want them to be surprised when I'm back in town for a while don't want them to hassle me with questions just yet."" He said through the door as he was leaning against the wall.<br/><br/>He got the cooler ready to go, soda and water was inside it. Leo had learned his lesson about drinking a few years ago. He got the cooler into the back end of the truck, along with a few chairs he threw into the back once he had found them. He kinda still knew where everything was in the house even after all these years."

It was predicted that the weather would be warm and nice today, so even though the dress was a little short, she didn't worry about catching a cold. She nodded to Leo and after that called their friends to let them know.<br/><br/>""We meet them at the usual spot."" Helena said when she got back to Leo, looking at him. Their usual meeting spot was a simple, lonely tree standing in the park, where Leo had brought her with him to them when she would meet them for the first time."

He waited till Helena was in the truck, before he drove toward the park. He had a smile on his face, they would most likely try and drag him out of the truck to tackle hug him. He chuckled at the thought, as he was driving.<br/><br/>Once they got there, he knew Helena would walk up first, he would be a few yards behind her on purpose. He had his own way of surprising people, but he just didn't want to do it this time. He would let them tackle him and hug him, he wouldn't mind that it had been 8 years after all."

It was only a matter of time before they ran at Leo and hugged him, causing him to fall. Helena watched with a smile and softly chuckled when they started ranting at Leo for being gone so long after they got up. He did deserve it, in all honesty."

""Alright alright I'm sorry for being gone for so long I couldn't control my parents from moving."" He shrugged as they asked, what he did for a few years. ""I did jobs here and there now I work for the FBI my boss wanted me as a body guard for Helena because of the gang that was coming after her has a huge criminal record.""<br/><br/>Leo looked at Helena, offering a small smile. As he put his hands in his pockets, he couldn't think of another person he could be in love with. He let out a sigh, he knew they couldn't get close to each other till this whole thing was over at least. Then they could, get close to each other all he had to do was wait."

""Didn't you think it would be a better idea to keep them out of this mess? If they get involved, their lives will be at risk too."" She said to him. It wasn't that she didn't love him, but what was he thinking, simply telling it like that out in the open? It was reckless, and they could easily get involved, especially if someone was spying on them at the moment. Didn't he think of that? He worked for the FBI, so shouldn't he think of such things?"

No criminal comes out during the day and with there reputation too Helena they won't be in danger I can tell you that much."" He let out a sigh, ""if we want to make it there by noon then let's get going.""<br/><br/>Once everyone was in the truck, he drove to the lake. Once there he got, everything that was in the back out.

Then what about yesterday, back in the forest, when I almost got shot?"" She asked, annoyed by how naive he seemed to be thinking. She was glad to see her friends back, but it was just such a reckless, dangerous thing for them to meet Helena and Leo again, and she didn't want them to get hurt. That, and of course, something else...<br/><br/>She took a seat in the truck and wrapped her arms around her stomach for a moment, thinking. Last day and last morning she hadn't felt much, but the past few weeks, something had definitely felt different. She was afraid of telling anyone, embarrassed, and she didn't even know for sure yet, but still, she had been throwing up pretty much every morning, had moodswings like she currently had and more things hinting at it, so even if she didn't know for sure, she had no clue what else it could be. But if it was true, then what? She had no idea with who she could talk about it with. Maybe Leo, but he had enough worries already."

Got things set up, and of course he felt hands on his shoulders. Then he realized, he was getting pushed toward the water. ""Uhhh Helena a little help please?"" He tried to get out of the grip, but his friends wouldn't release him.<br/><br/>Leo got closer and closer to the water, he swallowed. He knew he was in trouble when his feet hit the dirt, his struggled to get out of his friends grip. ""Helena help!"" Those were the last words out of his mouth, as he hit the water he came up a few seconds later."

""I'm sorry, I just don't feel very well at the moment..."" She apologised to him, before heading back to their friends and sitting down on the grass. She had a guess as to why, but regardless, she just felt terrible, while at the same time, she didn't want to ruin the day, now they finally got to see their friends again.<br/><br/>Helena sighed again. Maybe she would have to tell someone about what happened and what she had been suspecting lately, but she had no idea as to who. Her father was never home and although it was quite something that had happened, she was certain that he would either be mad at her, or wouldn't care at all. As for Leo, he had just gotten back. He wasn't there even a day yet, and she wasn't sure if she should tell him. After all it was quite something, and she didn't want to scare or shock him. Not to mention she was embarrassed about it and most of all wanted to forget what had happened. But maybe she should talk about it with someone, and she knew no one else than him who she could tell."

He climbed out of the water, sitting down beside her, ""you all right?"" He asked, never before had he seen her act like this with them or around them.

She said, looking at him again for a short moment. She wanted to tell him the truth, but she didn't want their friends to hear it too, or at least not until she knew for sure.<br/><br/>She had no idea how he would react, and in all honesty, she was a little scared to find out.

Even if she didn't feel sick, her thoughts were keeping her from having fun. She had been thinking about what had happened back then an awful lot lately, even though most of all, she just wanted to forget it, more than she wanted anything else. But how could she? The whole happening had left her scarred and it had kept her thoughts occupied for so long, it still did, had never stopped doing so. It was the reason she now cringed at each single bit of physical contact, why she hated it so much to be touched, why even a tap on her shoulder made her uncomfortable. Not that her father ever noticed anything. He was far too busy. Sometimes she wondered if he actually did remember that she existed before they threatened to kill her.<br/><br/>But with Leo, it was different. He had been the first person she didn't mind touching her since what had happened, actually felt good around him. She had even enjoyed their kiss, it was a gentle and loving one. The way he treated her was just so much different from the rough, violent, painful way they had treated her back then... around him, she finally managed to feel alright again."

        On the continent of Europa, Baron Wulfenbach’s Pax Transylvania remains in full force. Upon the Baron’s return to the lands nearly fifteen years ago, he discovered that his one time friends and allies, The Heterodyne Brothers, had vanished and that the powers that be had fallen into bloody chaos and disorder. Crazed scientists, Sparks, waged war with one another, turning whole sections of the landscape into vast Wastelands. Baron Wulfenbach struck back against this and imposed his own iron order upon them. His unofficial motto: “Don’t Make Me Come Over There.” His Empire is ruled from his flying castle, where Sparks and their creations are recruited to serve Europa and the Baron.<br/><br/>In and around the Wastes are small villages, places forgotten by the powerful. These townfolk are raised in fear and ignorance of Sparks, even minor ones. Deadly war machines and constructed monsters without masters still roam the Wastes randomy and often pillage the towns along the edges. And should any of the villagers start to display a talent for invention, the mobs come with their pitchforks and bonfires to prevent any further destruction at the hands of science.<br/><br/>But some of these monsters are not so random, nor bent soley on terrorizing the humans who cower behind their walls. Some have a purpose, a goal. And some are unrelenting...<br/><br/><center><b>*~*~*</b></center><br/><br/>Jötz picked his fangs with his littlest claw while he watched the village. With the sun setting in the autumnal evening, it looked peaceful. Idyllic even. It was unsettling to the Jäger that the world should be so at peace, without the cries of the wounded, the shrieks of victims, the sobbing of maidens. But the green-furred Wild Jäger was nothing if not optimistic. There was something going on in the village, some sort of hubbub, of that he was certain. Only there wasn’t the smell of beer and pretzels in large enough quantities to justify a party of some sort, nor was there any sort of parade or music to mark a special occasion. What there was, was fire. Or at least a lot of smoke. Not a cooking fire by the scent of it, for there was too much greenwood burning for that. The stench of pitch and tar tinted the air as well. A tar and feathering, then? Nothing like a good old tar and feathering for a cold, autumn night! <br/><br/>He tch’d and reached an overly long arm up to the tree branch above, yanking himself up with the strength that only one of the Heterodyne’s Jägers could manage so easily. Once upon the limb he pushed his battered brown derby back on his head to scratch at his pointed ears. What was going on, that was the question! Why would everything look so peaceful but feel so tense? His large brown eyes squinted, hoping that something else would make itself obvious soon.<br/><br/>What really annoyed him was his own impatience. Granted he was one of the younger of the Jägerkin, only a half century at old despite the fact that his human-ish features still left him looking in his twenties. Older Jägerkin tended to be more patient, but more destructive in turn. Jötz envied them both of those qualities. After nearly twenty years of searching on his own, separated from the rest of the Heterodyne’s loyal soldiers, Jötz found his patience waning. Why the Generals thought there might still be a Heterodyne out in the world somewhere was beyond him; the Brothers were gone and lineage was well documented. Then again, the old Heterodynes had been a rowdy bunch. He supposed it was possible there was some bastard line out there somewhere, some heir they could restore to rule. It would be so nice to go home again! To share draft in the Jägerhall with his comrades and friends that he hadn't seen for over a generation, to serve a Heterodyne again, to rampage across the hillsides and valleys with wild abandon just like in the old days... <br/><br/>Good times, good times. Good times that would never come about if an heir was ever discovered. An't if there was one thing Jötz was good at it, it was gambling; he didn't like the long odds on this. Still, it was his duty and he had volunteered for this exile rather than serving Klaus Wulfenbach like some dog. True, the Jägers that had taken service with the Baron had only done so upon the agreement that they be released to serve any of their former master's descendants should they appear, but Jötz still somehow felt that they had somehow betrayed the House of Heterodyne.<br/><br/>Perching himself in the crook of a branch, he wrapped himself up in his tattered wool cloak. He’d wait and see what happened, he decided. “After all, I’s got no place to be at anyvay,” he muttered.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Th-three point one four one five nine two six five...""<br/><br/>The panted numbers kept insidiously perfect time with the pounding of bare feet. Well, mostly bare. She had stockings on. Somehow. How had that happened? And why couldn't she remember? Though it hardly seemed to matter. More important was the fact that Mama Petra would undoubtedly throttle her once she found out she'd stained her white stockings dirt brown. Well. If Mama Petra found out. And the way things were going, it did not look like she would. <br/><br/>""...three five eight nine seven nine...""<br/><br/>A patch of loose gravel nearly sent her sprawling, headfirst, into the darkening Wastelands spread before her. She regained her balance with a grace far from characteristic and kept running. In her mind's eye, she could feel the tongues of flames at her back, the horrible mystery of sharpened points at her neck. She'd only wanted to help! How was it possible she was running for her life? <br/><br/>""...three two three eight four six...""<br/><br/>The same life spent in the quaint and quiet little hovel of Motorhum. Just under eighteen years spent there with the people she'd called friends and family, and now those selfsame people wanted her blood, simply because they thought she, Ivy St. Mayhew, was a...a...<br/><br/>""...two six four three eight...eight...eight...""<br/><br/>She was slowing down, she realized. Which was a bad thing, but she couldn't help it. Her bare feet buzzed a numb promise of coming agony. There was a stitch in her side that burned like ￼wild fire every time she drew a ragged breath. She'd cut her hand, sometime recently, though that, too, was only half remembered, and blood ran down her fingers tips to leave a weaving trail of tiny red spots in the dirt, leading from the middle of nowhere all the way back to the barn her family shared with Helga and Bartholomew Bartch. Or what was left of it. <br/><br/>Ivy stopped running so abruptly, she nearly pitched forward again, suddenly nausea, afraid, saddened and lonely all at once. Turning back toward Motorhum should have been a simple thing to do, but she simple action took ages. Was it because she knew what she'd see? A pillar of smoke rising from the center of the little village, blacker than the early dusk that threatened to engulf it. The screeching remains of the oven she'd rebuilt for Mama Petra, promising a perfect pie crust every time. <br/><br/>It was true, she had gotten a little carried away. Most ovens didn't need motion sensors...or defensive microwave beams. But it had seemed such a good idea at the time!<br/><br/>And now they were ripping it apart, if they hadn't already. Tossing the parts she'd spent the better part of two days gathering, repairing, assembling, all with the help of her younger brothers and sisters. She'd called it the ÜberOven, and she'd been so excited to show it to Mama Petra. Just in time for her eighteenth birthday next week. No more soggy pie crusts or fallen souffles. And no more ÜberOven, either. She was lucky she'd made it too complex. She knew as soon as the villagers, her family, were done with it, they'd turn their attentions to her. <br/><br/>And so Ivy turned and ran again, still trying to convince herself this was all a fluke. She knew all about the Sparks. Every Motorhum child did. They were monsters disguised like humans, worse even than the rabid Jägermonsters living in the desolate Wastes. They were dangerous. They were insane. <br/><br/>And Ivy St. Mayhew was none of those things. She was positive. <br/><br/>Well. Mostly positive.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The scent of blood and fear hit his nostrils, waking him from his half doze among the tree branches. Now this was promising! Blood, fire, smoke, fear! Just like old times! The harsh, acrid stink of burnt pies was also in there somewhere, somewhat spoiling the effect, but nothing was perfect. Someone was running, too, towards him. Now that was novel, he reflected, Most folks run away from me. He could hear soft footfalls coming through the shrubbery and foliage, steps that were starting to falter and slow down near him. Jötz grinned happily as he shook the kinks out of limbs. Things were looking up! He may not have found a Heterodyne heir, but at least he'd found some excitement!!<br/><br/>When the struggling figure stumbled into sight, though, he fought the urge to sigh. A girl. A <i>pretty</i> girl, yes, but a girl. Jötz had really been hoping for something dangerous, something wild, something capable of dismembering a body with calloused ease. In other words, a playmate. He pursed his lips in thought, thinking how he could change this to his advantage, anything to relieve the boredom of hiking by his lonesome across the Wastes looking for someone who probably didn't exist. A young girl. A pretty young girl. <br/><br/>Back in Mechanicsburg, the Jägers were very popular with pretty young girls. Everyone knew why of course. The process of becoming a ￼Jäger turned the subject involved into something more than human and enhanced several attributes, especially one that ladies of a certain nature had come to prefer: charming looks. After all, what woman would be able to resist a brightly colored, slightly fury, strongly fanged and well muscled man with arms that hung down nearly to his knees and legs that were a quarter again longer than they should be? Oh, and the claws. You couldn't forget the claws.<br/><br/>The young lady seemed to be in a spot of trouble, an nonexistent plea for help that the melodramatic Jötz felt compelled to answer. After all, it wasn't every day you came across a damsel in distress. And the smell of fresh, clean blood was definitely coming from her.<br/><br/>Jötz waited until she was almost right below his perch before he dropped in front of her with a flourishing bow. ""Goot evening, sveetheart!"" his growling baritone voice rumbled out. ""Vhat's the matter? You boyfriend, he is being all handsy mit you? Evil step ma-ma making you life miserable? You poppa not buy you a puppy?""<br/><br/>From the village, an explosion ripped through the night. Jötz's eyes followed the rising mushroom cloud that easily cleared the treetops to reach the early evening stars that were just starting to shine, his brow raised in startled appreciation at the size of the blast. Now he could hear angry shouts, cries of dismay and revenge carried on the Wasteland breezes. ""Ooor... maybe you is having some other troubles?”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Ivy backpedaled with a strangled yelp that might have been a curse in anyone else before gravity seized up and exercised its traditional gracelessness on her rather boyish form. From her new perch on the ground, she stared up at the lanky green thing that had assaulted her from his -- his? Yes, his...probably -- position in the trees before her jaw fell open and the chaos of the evening was momentarily forgotten. <br/><br/>She stared, unabashedly agape at the Jäger towering before her, without even trying to make sense of...whatever it was he was saying. Oh, she caught snippets: boyfriend, evil, puppy. But mostly she was trying to wake up. She knew now she was dreaming. The abrupt appearance of the Jäger had told her that much. She had been up late the night before, tracing constellations in the sky, and she must have fallen asleep again over one of her books out in the barn. In a few minutes, she'd wake up, black hair coated in dust from Papa's old work bench. Then all of this would be a funny dream. Mama's failed pie, and Ivy's sudden knowledge that she could better the oven, that she had to better the oven. She'd never dragged Rosie, Dahlia, Briar, and Fern into the barn, almost too excited to focus. Memories of barking orders in a manner so uncharacteristically Ivy had been little more than fabrications brought on by one too many blueberries from Mama's bowl. There had been no ÜberOven, no subsequent elated exhaustion, no overwhelming pride as she'd walked her creation into the kitchen, hardly aware that she'd taken down half the door and left the barn smoldering behind her. <br/><br/>There had been no shocked silence, no ushering of her younger, tow-headed siblings into her bosom. No appearance of concerned neighbors going from confused to frightened to enraged. No horrible screeches of metal as Ivy finally came down from her high to see them wrenching apart the new construct. All of it had been a dream. And she was still dreaming now. Having fled into the Wastelands, it was only natural she should find what her subconscious mind had heard stories of for years now. <br/>￼<br/>She meant to tell the Jäger all this. As soon as he understood it was a dream, the dream would collapse, and she would wake up, and resume looking for birthday presents with little Rosie and Leaf. <br/><br/>She opened her mouth, suddenly quite confident in her plan. <br/>""Three two se -- er. I mean -- ""<br/><br/>She felt the explosion rumbled up through her palms and her bare feet and winced, rather imagining the last of her hard work to have been disintegrated...or worse. !<br/><br/>""It was going to make the perfect pie crust,"" she said to herself, half pouting, half grieving. It was then her cut hand gave a twinge, and she remembered -- understood -- she was not dreaming. <br/><br/>Which meant the Jäger standing before her really was a Jäger...and really was standing before her. <br/><br/>Ivy looked up at him, green eyes wide with equal parts disbelief and awe. <br/><br/>""Hullo. I'm Ivy. I don't think you want to be seen with me, Mr. Jäger...um sir.”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jötz narrowed his gaze at her. ""Vhy not?"" Then a look of enlightenment crossed his face. ""Oh, ho-ho-hoo! I sees! Itz the whole beauty und beast ting, ja? Donchu worry, sveetheart! I think yous pretty. Maybe not as goot looking as me, but whatcha go-ink to do, eh? Oh, und don't call me 'sir.' I is no officer, trust me! I'm just plain old Jötz.""<br/><br/>There were voices now, voices crying for vengeance and blood. The Jäger looked up past Ivy's shoulder. ""Is dey mit you? Only they seem an eensy-weensy mad or someting."" Another explosion rocked the ground, causing even him to stager a bit. ""Vow! Dat vas someting! I gots to hand it to whoever is making mit da boom-booms up der. Dat's got to be one professional! Eeder dat or..."" He switched his gaze towards Ivy, two and two finally making four in his head. If it wasn't a monster or a machine on its own, and it wasn't the Baron, that could only mean...<br/><br/>Out of habit, Jötz leaned close to her and took a deep sniff. Pleasant, but not what he was looking for. ""You smell nize,"" he commented, ""but not very nize. Still, I ees not one to leave a girl to be torn apart by da mob mit der pitchforks und torches und da burnings! So?""<br/><br/>His clawed hand shot out to grab her wrist, pulling her along behind him as he took long, confident strides towards the pursuing crowd. ""Let's go und haft a little chat, hm? I tink I make dem see reason.”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>￼There was a moment of paralyzing shock during which some part of Ivy's mind -- the part that was often finding patterns in swirling dust motes, and the same part that was always getting yelled at for daydreaming -- thought the supposedly dangerous and wild Jäger before her was incredibly charming. Certainly well-meaning, if not sweet. But then Ivy tended to find the best in people, having befriend all manner of stray animals when she was younger.<br/><br/>Then again, those self-same animals tended to have bizarre experiments performed upon them before long, but it was all for a good cause. So. There was that. <br/><br/>The moment was over as soon as it came, however, as the rational part of her brain kicked into gear and she realized she was being quite forcibly dragged back toward the village -- or more accurately -- the mob she'd just been fleeing. <br/><br/>At once, she dug her heels into the ground. Of course, as she was wearing only socks, this didn't help much. <br/><br/>It didn't stop her from trying. <br/><br/>""H-hey...no, wait, don't -- what are you -- I don't think this will help -- I already tried -- HEY! STOP it!"" she hissed suddenly, yanking her wrist back and fixing the Jäger -- Jötz -- with a scowl. <br/><br/>""Look, you pointy-eared ingrate. You vill shut up now and listen to my reasoning, alright? Those people want to kill me. Because -- because -- well, because doesn't matter, just that they do. And if they see you with me, they're going to kill us both, reason or no. Trust me, I know these people. Reason doesn't look like you. So unless you want to be turned into someone's flea- ridden throw rug, I suggest we both start moving away quickly in the opposite direction. Deal?""<br/><br/>Her teeth came together with an audible click, and Ivy found herself quite suddenly, inexplicably out of breath. Still not quite able to speak, or even explain, she thrust both hands into the pockets of her apron -- of her mother's apron, technically, but she didn't fancy the older woman would want it back anymore. She'd thrown it on back in Motorhum before going to work on the oven. It had bigger pockets than the trousers and tunic she wore now. Perfect for carrying an assortment of small tools and metal bits. Just in case. <br/><br/>The 'case' of the moment appeared to be a distraction. The people from her village were coming and coming fast, and even the Jäger could only buy her so much time. !<br/><br/>She reached deeper into her pockets and found a handful of screws, some loose electrical wiring, and a utility knife. A slightly manic grin lit upon her face and she smiled at her new companion. <br/><br/>""Jötz, right?"" she said sweetly. ""I think I've got an idea. Are you going to help me, or not?"" Her tone, she thought, made it very clear there was only one acceptable answer.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The Jäger took her sudden outburst in stride, his face placid and calm as she ranted at him. So I was right, he congratulated himself, she's touched! Shame. The uproar and the concussive ￼explosions had given him a fair idea that she was a Spark, while her sudden rantings confirmed it for him. Jötz recognized the tone. All she needed to do was start shouting that she'd show them all and start milking the giant cow. In fact, she sort of reminded him of old Bellaria Vhosnotvitz, the crazed cow-wife who had created just such a cow for that very purpose back before he'd become a Jäger. Pity about her entire town drowning in milk, but what could you do?<br/><br/>""I was tink-ink dat I vaz helping you."" Jötz regarded her critically, completely ignoring the approaching villagers intend on death and destruction. Raising a finger in admonishment at Ivy, he mildly commented, ""You know, you ist awfully vound up, Miss Ivy. You should learn to relax, I'm tink-ink. Haft you tried chamomile tea mit honey?"" <br/><br/>The mob was at the top of the hill now, bearing down the path towards them in that heavy footed clumping that wasn't quite marching nor stalking, but a clumsy bastardization of the them both. Various farm implements were being waved high and with great enthusiasm, as if the wielders were trying their darnedest to make themselves look intensely dangerous (and failing), while torches were held up to light their way. A male voice, deep in outrage, rang out with ""There she is!"" followed by other voices crying out ""Get her! Don't let her get away! burn the witch! Burn her!"" <br/><br/>Jötz rolled his eyes in annoyance, the tone of his voice making clear his disgust. ""God's fish in leetle trousers, can't dey tink of somezing original to say?? Chust once?? Next mob dat falls back on dat old standard? I's buying dem a thesaurus! Und vhy alvays mit da torches?! Vhy not lanterns or candles for once? Vvvery lovely, candlelight ist!""<br/><br/>Then he noticed the girl was rummaging in her apron's pockets, pulling out bits and pieces. The Jäger grinned wickedly. ""Miss Ivy, vould I be correct in tink-ink dat tings ist about to get fun? Cause let me be tellink you, I like fun! Heck, I vas chust goink to kill dem for you but if'n you wants to fry dem mit a death ray or melt der undervear, I's you man!”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Good!"" Ivy answered briefly, almost before the enigmatic Jäger had finished speaking, rather as though she hadn't heard anything else he'd said. Entirely possible, since he'd just threatened her entire village and family, and she hadn't so much as batted an eye. <br/><br/>""Here."" She thrust a mass of electrical wire at him without looking up. ""Untangle, don't cut.""<br/><br/>She dropped at once to her knees, completely ignorant of the small stones that sought to bury itself into a kneecap, muttering under her breath as she frantically emptied her pockets: ""Yes, yes...perfect! Four four two eight one zero nine...Yes! And then if I just...six seven five two three eight four -- "" a manic giggle escaped her lips; her hair was falling in her eyes and she brushed it out of the way with her bleeding hand, leaving a streak of rust on her forehead. <br/><br/>""One six six one zero two one..."" Her fevered counting was rapidly be drowned out by the approach of the village mob, whose thundering feet could be felt in the earth beneath the girl, even from here. She was blissfully unaware. <br/><br/>￼""Okay, and then -- "" Something lit in her eyes and she turned to look up at Jötz, her gaze just slightly unfocused. ""Aren't you done yet?"" she demanded impatiently. ""Never mind, let me -- ""<br/><br/>She reached out with one hand and yanked the bundle of cord and wire from his claws; with the other, she thrust a thin sheet of metal plating. ""Score,"" she said simply, then, without waiting for an answer, she scowled imperiously. ""Score! With your teeth, don't be stupid -- God, you're useless -- "" And then she took that back, two, wrapping her own pale fingers around a lightly furred wrist and using his claw to trace a perfectly straight line down the center. That done, she grinned again and giggled. ""Brilliant! Thank you,"" before turning away to assemble...whatever it was she was assembling. <br/><br/>""There! Done!"" she cried an instant later, and leapt to her feet, eager to show off her creation. <br/><br/>It was...not much to behold, quite frankly. A lumpy, loosely spherical mass of dented metal and rusted springs, all set atop two pairs of converted nuts, supposedly meant to work like wheels. <br/><br/>""There, see?"" Ivy exclaimed, absolutely thrilled with her work, and still quite oblivious to the ever nearing villagers. ""This bit, here,"" she pointed to the heftier bit of the tiny machine. ""You throw it, and when it hits the ground, it <i>explodes</i>!"" She giggled again, delighted. ""And the best part is that's only the distraction, the decoy, see? What buys us time is this -- "" <br/><br/>She flipped the thing over to reveal a glistening bit of flint wrapped in exposed wire to the underside of the metal sheet Jötz had ""helped"" her score. ""When this hits the ground, with the flint, and the oil -- the brush -- it starts a fire, see! This whole little foresty bit here, it's been so dry lately, the whole thing'll burn in seconds! There's no way they'll find us!""<br/><br/>She jumped back, not quite ready to relinquish the mini distraction/destruction device just yet. Time, after all, was of the -- <br/><br/>""Here! Throw it! Over there!"" she pointed, still all but vibrating with excitement. She wrapped another hand around his wrist. ""Ooh, I've got a better idea, let's go see if it works, c’mon!""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Ah."" Jötz felt himself on familiar territory here: a Spark, a mob bent on vengeance, and a spur of the moment creation born of madness and desperation that would probably get him killed. The bundle of wire was about half untangled when she ripped it from his hands and forced the metal plating upon him in its place. There was probably some sort of arcane reason she wanted him to score the metal with his teeth instead of one of his claws like he had been about to it, but whatever it might have been, it was beyond him. With a roll of the eyes at her commands, he ran the tip of one fang along where she had indicated. The sound of it pierced the ears and make some of the villagers cringe, even at a distance. The taste left something to be desired as well. <br/><br/>The little device she finally held up for his inspection really wasn't much. At least, he couldn't make heads nor tails of it. But Miss Ivy seemed to have a good grasp in the 'build it and it will explode department' if the mushroom cloud coming from town was any indication, so he trusted her with it for now. At least, until she grabbed his wrist and started pulling him along. Caught in ￼the madness as she was, her strength was noticeably increased. Her words were a little alarming, too.<br/><br/>""Vait! Vait! See ift <i>vhat</i> vorks?? Chou leettle bomb or youse idea??"" She paid him no attention that he could discern. He had seen the Heterodyne Boys get the same way; his masters would just start working on some project out of the blue and everything else around them became negligible... unless of course it could be used in whatever it was they were inventing. Jötz allowed Ivy to drag him along, his face stoically resigned to the fact that eventually she was going to want to use him as some part of an experiment.!<br/>""Chou know, Miss Ivy,"" he commented dryly as she pulled at his wrist, ""Dis ist usually how most new Sparks start der life oft creation und inventing und schtuff: by saying vords like 'Hold mien beer und watch dis.' Eet ist usually den followed by somezing goink 'boom' und then endink said life mit a bang.”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""The plan,"" Ivy snapped, mildly indignant. ""Of course the bomb will work. And it's not 'leettle', it's compact. Aerodynamic."" She trudged on eagerly through the underbrush, only half aware Jötz was even behind her, despite the rather one-sided conversation she was engaged in.The crowd was drawing ever nearer. She could almost hear voices she recognized now. She ignored them.<br/><br/>""The detonation depends on the speed it's traveling before it hits the ground, otherwise the whole thing'll be useless. And it's not useless. And I don't drink be -- wait. What?""<br/><br/>She stopped so suddenly, he nearly walked into her. She seemed markedly indifferent to this, to, though for different reasons. The unfocused, manic look was gone from her face, replaced by muted fear and stark confusion. <br/><br/>""Did you say -- oh, no, Mr. uh...Jötz, sir, I'm not...not a..."" But even as she spoke, she could hear the words ringing false, spoken more out of habit than knowledge. <br/><br/>Things certainly added together, if that we're the case. Building an oven/cannon was certainly pretty Sparky. And the town's reaction was just as telling. Ivy wasn't dumb, had never been dumb...but she certainly wasn't smart. Not smart enough to Spark, anyway. <br/><br/>The mob, however, seemed to think otherwise. <br/><br/>Ivy blanched then blinked, swallowing. The orange flicker of firelight -- torch light -- was shining through the trees behind her. <br/><br/>""We...um...we should run."" She paused, then awkwardly offered up the tiny explosive. ""I guess you should throw this, too. Try not to hurt anyone, okay?”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>There was no keeping the annoyance off of Jötz's face. One did not simply hand a Jäger a potentially lethal weapon, point him an armed throng bearing down upon him and tell him not to hurt anyone. It simply wasn't done! <br/>￼<br/>""Ja, ja. I tries real hard, hokay?"" Casually he flipped the device over his shoulder to land right in front of the crowd as they rounded a bend in the path. They were disturbingly closer than Jötz had realized. On the upside, they were far closer to the bomb. ""Hokay, now we runs. Yes?""<br/><br/>Without waiting for a reply, he grabbed her wrist again and started heading away from the village, a mechanical tinged 'WHOOMPH' coming from behind them as the device began to fulfill its function. The explosion was not as large as the one that had come from the village, but it certainly spurred Jötz to move faster. He could smell the fires starting. Dry grasses caught blaze easily, providing them with an excellent smoke screen with which to avoid detection. After only a few yards, however, it became obvious that whatever calculations Miss Ivy had concocted in her head had not included wind direction. The fires were actually headed towards them!<br/><br/>""Götterdämmerung!"" he swore vehemently. He and the girl would need to move much faster if they were going to avoid being burned alive. It was ironic that Miss Ivy's creation that was supposed to prevent her from being captured and burned alive was now ensuring it, albeit sans stake and cheering villagers. He glanced down to see what was slowing Ivy down so much when he saw she was in her stocking feet. Stocking that were starting to show spots of bright red from where stones and thorns had pierced through and into the tender flesh. It was impressive that she was still able to run! <br/><br/>""Dis ist no goot,"" he shouted to her, and with a construct's strength snatched her up and over his shoulder. With one arm around her legs and her rump brushing along the side of his cheek, he increased his speed over the terrain to evade both mob and fire. She couldn't see it, but he was actually grinning! All she needed to do was to start pounding his back futilely and screaming at him, and he'd be right back where he was on his first Jäger raid!<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Hmm...thank you, and everything, but you know...I don't think you tried very hard at all to -- Hey!""<br/><br/>This time, Ivy's exclamation was less Spark-rage and more surprise as her (admittedly sore) feet were suddenly swept out from underneath her. The view from over her shoulder became the view from over his. Fortunately, said view was mostly obscured by thick, dark smoke.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the bits that weren't obscured crawled with flame. <br/><br/>""...ohhhh,"" Ivy said a moment later as an instant of clarity dawned. Years of hearing Spark stories, shuddering under cover of night and knitted quilt, thinking how, if she were ever a Spark, she would avoid all the mistakes they made...and hear she was, running from two of the devices she'd created. Part of her was instinctively appalled. <br/><br/>Another larger part, however, wanted to show off. She only just stifled these urges, as there were more pressing matters to attend to, not the least of which being the choking heat now pressed against her face. <br/><br/>""Do you know where we're going?"" she called uselessly, because she couldn't think of what else to say, and because she wanted to know. When it had become 'we', she wasn't sure. Then again, she'd only just recently begun running from the only place she'd known in her whole life, so answers across the board would be much appreciated. Hell, she couldn't even navigate the Wastelands, which had seemed vast and exciting as a child. Now, they just seemed rather abysmal. <br/><br/>And smoky. Really, really smoky. So, score one for Ivy. <br/><br/>""Maybe we ought to look for...a river? Mama Petra always said those were good for hiding, because of the mud."" The sudden recollection of her mother made her belly twinge, but she pushed that away. Mama Petra was now chasing her though the Wastes with a torch and singed eyebrows, and no perfect pie crust to speak of. That would make forgiving Ivy a little tricky, to say the least.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>“Do I know vhere ve are go-ink?! Ja! AVAY! Sheesh!” <br/><br/>Jötz picked up a bit of speed on a downhill slope, allowing his ropey limbs to twist and turn his body around obstructions as they moved along. A river wasn’t a bad idea, not by half! Water was a great barrier against fire, after all!<br/><br/>He looked over his shoulder and gulped at what he saw. Moving water would be a great barrier… against small brush fires. And this was not a small brush fire. Not that it really mattered, as Jötz really couldn’t think of any moving streams or rivers nearby; he had only just begun to scout the area when the uproar in the town had caught his attention. All he knew of were a few deer paths, an older road that probably connected her village with the rest of the world at one point, and that stinking…<br/><br/>Swamp! That was it! Granted, the smell from the moors had been pretty bad, but the girl may not notice it as much having just regular human senses. There was probably something icky in the swamp as well, otherwise the villagers would have either drained it off for farmland or dammed it up for a water source. That just added to the appeal of hiding out there, actually. The villagers would be too afraid to follow. Of course, the thought that whatever might be lurking in the marsh might think of them as a tasty snack was secondary to their immediate survival; for Jötz, work came first, then fun.<br/><br/>“Rights! I gots an idea! Hold you nose, Mizz Ivy!!” <br/><br/>The Jäger made a sharp turn and was soon running parallel to the flames. Choking smoke rolled closer, filling the nose and bringing tears to the eyes. It was a desperate move, one that could lead to their deaths by either burning or by suffocation, and even should they survive the effects of the raging flames the villagers would surely have their way with them. The edge of the swamp was still a good kilometer off. If they made it, it would be just by the skin of their teeth.<br/><br/>*Hokay,* thought Jötz, *maybe a bit of fun ist alright.* He was just glad she couldn’t see how widely he was grinning.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Of course,"" Ivy muttered to herself, still trying to squint through her possibly-maybe-just-the-teensiest-bit-too-effective smoke screen. She couldn't see much, which she supposed was good. But she couldn't hear much, either, so if one of the villagers had suddenly become fire-resistant, she and her new travel companion were in -- <br/><br/>-- Oh. Fire-resistant villagers. Interesting concept. Countless uses, obviously. Flame retardant workers would be in high demand one day, probably. Human shields. High-heat brick and mortar, assurance of no pesky bursting eyeballs or burning flesh, with a scent like -- <br/><br/>Like...Ivy gagged, and Jötz was spared a messy new ensemble by some unforeseen grace Ivy had spent more of her time baking pies than eating them in the last two days. She held her breath, eyes watering, and brought the edge of her tunic up over her mouth and nose. Just as well. The smoke was thick as cotton and breathing was getting to be problematic on its own. <br/><br/>""Hey, uh...Jötz? Is this -- "" She broke off to cough, wishing she'd opted to bring a canteen with her. Or maybe just not to be in this position in the first place. ""Is this idea (cough, cough) to get us both (cough, cough) killed (cough), asphyxiated, (cough, cough) or...or...or...""<br/><br/>She ran out of usable oxygen before she could come up with an appropriate list ender. The smoke was making her a little light-headed. The fire was making her a little desperate. It was awkward to try and reach into the deep pockets of her apron, pinned against the Jäger's shoulder as she was, but she tried anyway. After all, a little desperation had gotten them out of the first jam. <br/><br/>Well. Then right back into the second, but anything was preferable to slow death by smoke. At least their killer could be an active, and sentient participant. Small mercies and all. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Of course it’s not a good idea, he wanted to shout, but really it was the only one he had. Long legs and tireless muscles covered the ground quickly as he loped over the uneven terrain, his eyes scanning for the tell tale signs of run off. He knew his best bet to avoid the fire was to continue down the slope, away from the town. Sadly, while the bog he was headed for was also down hill, it was on the opposite slope. All he could do was to continue his diagonal dash, keeping parallel to the fire and hope to come across a gully or run off that connected to the wetlands. <br/><br/>A brief hole appeared in the wall of smoke. Jötz grinned at the sight of the mob with their pitchforks and scythes and torches, all staring dumbfounded as the furry green monster sped along with the pretty maiden on his shoulder. No doubt there was some conflicted feelings there. No one liked seeing young maidens being abducted by monsters, except for the monsters of course. At the same time, he had just stolen away the person who was going to be no doubt the main ‘bon’ in their bonfire; her family and friends were probably confused as to whether they should be upset about this or glad! The looks upon the children’s faces, now… THOSE were worth treasuring! It was a fine mix between “now what”, “what’s going to happen next” and “I really need to visit the outhouse.” As a matter of image, the Jäger waved cheerily a the crowd and showed all of his fangs in a toothy grin. The smoke plums rolled between them once more before Jötz could see their reactions.<br/><br/>He could see a small gully just ahead now. It was little more than a path for rainwater to run downhill during the worst of the seasonal storms, but it should be wet enough to help. Still, it wasn’t enough!<br/><br/>That’s when he saw it happen. All of the local wildlife stirred up by the flames were also running away: mice, voles, a couple of deer, a tiny herd of minmoths… but not the hare. He watched as the brindle coated rabbit held its ground before the inferno as though biding its time. Then, just as the fire was near about to close over it, it stretched its powerful legs and leapt over the deadly wall. Jötz didn’t see it land, but he could hear its feet running further away beyond; it had lived! It had jumped over the fire to land on the other side where the ground was just hot ashes and embers! Brunt feet were surely better than burnt everything! And the gully ran the length of the slope, so a section of it should be on the other side as well. If they could clear the flames, get to the gully and then follow it the rest of the way to the swamp, they should be safe!<br/><br/>Jötz felt his passenger fumble for something as she bounced along on his shoulder. “I gots me an idea, schveethart, but if’n you gots someting else to share now would be a very goot time to be using it!” <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Ivy didn't respond. Not right away, at least. She'd only been half listening, and quarter-watching, more concerned with finding something -- anything -- useful in this God-awful scrap of fabric she'd used to refer to as an 'apron'. 'Apron' indeed! It may as well have been one of Mama Petra's tattered old things, all smears of flour and butter stains for all the good it was doing her now. Two days spent in that muck pit of a barn, with nothing to show for it but a few coils of stiff wire, a handful of nuts and bolts, a half empty oil can, and...<br/><br/>Well. Her father's old utility knife may have been of some use. If only anything else was!<br/><br/>Still, she fiddled with the wire and nuts, hardly aware her face was all but streaming with tears kicked up by choking smoke, and growing more and more frustrated with each passing second. <br/><br/>Finally, she gave a frustrated cry (which quickly dissolved into a coughing fit), and prepared to throw away the whole mess, catching herself only just at the last minute. <br/><br/>""Guess some of it could be useful later,"" she grumble to herself, half resigned, half defeated. Then, a bit louder, calling over her shoulder, and his, ""What I've got certainly can't be any more life-saving than what you've got, so go on."" Her voice had lost it's chipper, too-polite edge. She was still watching the landscape being swallowed up by smoke and flame, peering through a screen of tears to find any other method of escape. <br/><br/>She may have been proud that her strange little invention had worked, but she certainly didn't want to die from it. Besides, she was running one-for-two now. And anyone who expected her to simply let prior mistakes go clearly knew nothing about Sparks...or Ivys, either. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>“Hokay den!” Running at full tilt as he was, it was hard for Jötz to properly gauge the height and speed of the flames. After a few critical seconds he finally shrugged to himself, saying, “To hell mit it!”<br/><br/>A jog to the left brought them running fully into the flames. With a hefty grunt, he swung Ivy around into both arms and flung her up and forward high into the air. Jumping with her in his arms was out of the question, even with his enhanced strength, so the obvious solution was to make the leap without out! She arched into the air above the fire. Trusting to his own reflexes, he quickly followed, jumping headlong at a slightly lower angle so he could catch her. The fire licked at his fur, singeing it and scorching his boots and clothing. The reek of burnt hair added to the lung clogging smoke, threatening to overwhelm him with the smell of it; he felt the pain but ignored it. A foot touched down on hot ash. Instantly, his knee bent with his weight and launched him back upwards to snatch Ivy bodily as she fell towards the baked and smoking ground.<br/><br/>The second landing did not go as smoothly. The very tip of his burnt boot caught a rock, sending him crashing to the ground. With the girl in his arms, there was no way he could catch himself safely, so instead he wrapped his long arms about her to shield her body and rolled. Down the gully they went, mud flying as they jounced and bounced their way downwards towards the swamp’s edge. Jötz felt stones and trees roots bite into his back and sides as they tumbled. He was sure the girl would be unharmed, if shaken, by the time they stopped. What condition he would be in was another question altogether! Still… it’d been worse! And he still had his hat!<br/><br/>Gravity eventually granted them mercy, and they rolled to a stop. The fire was past them now, and the villagers out of sight. He flopped onto his back slowly, releasing his protective hug from around Ivy and laid there eagle-spread and aching. The pain of the various contusions and bruises he’d just earned warred with the migraine inspired by the smoke for supremacy, and while he could heal quickly it did nothing for him right now. Still…<br/><br/>He lolled his head to look at the girl he’d just saved. He’d… saved someone. Not the usual duty of a Jaeger, by any definition! A smirk worked its way to his lips as he thought about the vast absurdity of what just happened. The smirk worked its way into a grin. Laughter soon followed, starting with a low chuckle and soon blowing out to full blown merriment. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Ivy lay calmly in the dirt and ash in mud, staring up at the sky. The smoke and fire had turned the evening a funny color, roughly comparable to that of a rotting grapefruit, a sort of purple-black smudge with gray-orange smoke. There would be no stars or moon tonight. The thought made her strangely nostalgic. <br/><br/>More nostalgic, oddly enough, than the thought that she was dead. Because she surely was. Accepting she was a Spark (she was still somewhat undecided, though that, she supposed now, was bordering more on denial than confusion), then she was a Spark of legend and statistics, the foolish sort who died at the hand of their very first creation. Well, perhaps she had ended a Spark of some notoriety. Technically, it was not her first creation that had done her in, but her second. The one created to evade the pitchfork-y ramifications of the first. <br/><br/>That, and an enigmatic Jäger. She wondered if he was dead, too. She might feel rather badly if he was, since it was her fire that had burned down his Wastes, and despite his...insistent demeanor, it seemed he really had been trying to help her. Probably. Maybe. <br/><br/>In any case, it seemed, she thought, her death had proved her Spark. There was simply no way any regular old after life could smell this badly. A strange stench of smoke, stagnant, dirty water, and...burnt hair. <br/><br/>Was there burnt hair in heaven? <br/><br/>Idly, still staring up at the smoke, eyes still watering somewhat, she moved a hand up to her dark hair, feeling for the missing inches she'd probably lost in the fire. Probably when her new Jäger buddy had tossed her into the air like she was no more than a sack of old potatoes. <br/><br/>The laughter next to her started at the same moment Ivy realized she was completely unharmed, and oh, yes, the Jäger had just saved her life.<br/><br/>'Well, so much for the stories...'<br/><br/>Ivy rolled over and got to her knees, crouched, curious and somewhat dazed over Jötz's prone figure. He appeared to be in the grips of somewhat hysterical laughter, and while she knew what she would have done had Jötz been Heather or Fern, the idea that Jötz, her savior, was also a Jäger, gave her some pause. He had rescued her, sure, despite however off-kilter the attempt and subsequent success may have been. <br/><br/>But his own survival belied a resilience that might have been unsettling in someone more violent. And she had no way of telling whether or not he was that. <br/><br/>""Um..."" she said after a moment, clearing her throat a little too loudly. ""Thank you. Are you quite alright?""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Still laughing, he punched the air straight up with both arms, narrowly missing Ivy as she hovered over him. “DAT. VAS. GREAT!”<br/><br/>Dropping his arms to his chest, he grinned up at her with a mouthful of fangs. “Dat fire und smoke? Runn-ink fur our lives? LIVING? HAH!”<br/><br/>Jötz sat up suddenly, now nose to nose with the girl. She was rather pretty. And she did smell nice, even with the scent of scorched fur and burning flora all about them. It wasn’t the scent instilled into him by the conversion from human to Jäger, the pleasing aroma that was the tell tale sign of Heterodyne, but it was quite pleasant. He inhaled deeply, obviously savoring both her scent and her proximity. “Zo,” he hummed coyly, “Da mob ist behind us, ve ist safe from da fire, nothing ist trying to kill you at da moment. Vhat you gonna do now, Miss Ivy, hmm? I knows what girls like you like, you’d like to get youse hands on my great, big gun, ja?”<br/><br/>He reached back beneath his cloak to pull out a rather large handgun. It was a frightening piece of black steel and dark walnut wood, inlaid with scroll worked brass; four barrels, two atop two, ended in wide muzzles quite used to spewing forth hellish death. Still within a scant inch of Ivy’s nose, he glances at it with a pitiful expression. “It could use a bit of vork, you see. Da trigger sticks a bit after da second shot.” <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Some part of Ivy rejoiced quietly. <br/><br/>Sure, she'd just been chased from the only home she'd ever known by an angry mob, at least partially consisting of friends and family...including baby Briar, who was just learning to walk and had probably followed along, thinking the whole thing a game. Ivy couldn't pretend that one didn't hurt. She had been Briar's favorite, and to think he'd now be raised thinking his eldest sister was some sort of monstrous madwoman...<br/><br/>Well. Perhaps the ÜberOven had been a bit overboard...but there was no way to say for sure! They hadn't even gotten to see it in action! Or at least not in pie-baking action, which, of course, was its primary function. <br/><br/>Right after personal defense. <br/><br/>Anyway. <br/><br/>She was lost out here in the Wastes, and even if she could get back home, there was no guarantee of a warm welcome...outside of the massive fires. Trapped outside of Motorhum with nothing but an apron and some bloody stockings, and a Jäger who was absolutely nothing like the stories she'd heard. <br/><br/>She reeled back only just in time to avoid a black eye, then crouched at the swamp's edge, watching cautiously as Jötz closed in on his quarry. Ivy backpedaled just as deliberately, green eyes wide and cautious. <br/><br/>And then he started speaking, and Ivy went from wary to furious in all the time it took for her to slap him across the face.<br/><br/>""Why you insensitive, insufferable, ungentlemanly -- and this after...after...after...oh. Oh. I see."" A pause. A brief sound that could really only be called a cackle of delight. And the proffered weapon was in her lap. <br/><br/>Whatever the Jäger might have said afterwards was immediately lost, along with the final understanding that Ivy was, indeed, a Spark. And when she handed the gun back, fifteen minutes had passed, for Ivy, at least, like fifteen seconds, all of them spent muttering under her breath. <br/><br/>""Here,"" she said, looking up at Jötz almost as if she'd forgotten he was there. She shoved the gun into his hands, thrilled for him to begin a new reign of destruction. <br/><br/>""See?"" she said, now finding herself crouched nearly as close to him as he had been to her. ""The problem was that you were only using one barrel at a time."" She gave him a look that clearly said she couldn't imagine why anyone would only want to fire one bullet per shot. <br/><br/>""It's okay, though, I fixed it. See? Your firing mechanism back here, it overheats after firing just once, and makes the trigger stick. It was doing too much too soon, accounting for appropriate velocity and all that, but I made it so your magazine works like a sort of a rotating cylinder. One shot uses all four barrels, see? And with the old magazine gone -- "" Something dropped unceremoniously to the ground. Ivy didn't seem to notice "" -- you quadruple your cool down rate. You can fire twice as many bullets in half the time!""<br/><br/>Breathless, she stared at him, almost vibrating with exciting energy, both impatient and expectant at the same time. After an agonizing half second wait, she grew frustrated and snatched the weapon back, oblivious to any complaints that might have followed. <br/><br/>""Look, see? I'll show you!"" And without so much as waiting for approval (or lack there of), she stood and fired the gun off into what remained of the trees. The subsequent roll off sounded like four almost synchronous explosions, and the kickback wasted no time throwing Ivy backwards into the swamp. <br/><br/>It was enough to pull her back to herself, though she managed to keep the gun above water and sat up after spitting out a mouthful of mud. <br/><br/>""Sorry. You had more...um...bullets, right?""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jötz watched her disassemble his firearm in a matter of seconds, the parts laid out upon the lap of her apron even as his cheek still stung from the slap. For such a small young woman, she packed a pretty solid whallop! He was actually dazed for a few seconds! And then Ivy was off in Sparky-mood, muttering numbers and poking at bits and pieces of the custom made gun with, well, whatever bits and pieces she had at hand. He couldn’t swear to it, but he was fairly certain he saw a shaving of lichen from a nearby rock go in there as well. Her announced of having improved the magazine also worried him somewhat as it had been a break action, breech loading weapon with no magazine to speak of; it made him wonder what it was she had removed and just dropped into the mud with little regard. But having her that close to his face and ranting breathlessly? It was scary! Jägers did not scare easily, so this was definitely something. He also found it rather exciting; with her face just scant inches away from his, Jötz felt the irrational desire to lean forward that extra amount and kiss her on the nose. He found himself staring at her with eyes wide, unsure of quite what to do or say. Prudence won in the end, however. Doing something like that to any Spark while they were in the mad-place was… unwise.<br/><br/>He was saved by his own inaction. Tired of waiting for his response (approval?), she grabbed the gun and test fired it. The result was both hysterically funny and far louder than he would have preferred. They were supposed to hiding now.<br/><br/>“Heh. I like you vork, Mizz Ivy. Come now, upsey-da-daisy!” A long fingered hand with talons retracted reached down to help her to her feet. The other plucked the gun gingerly from her lap. “I gotz a few more bullets, sure. But maybe now we stay all qviet like, ja? Ist no goot to be making mit da bangs und da booms vile ve ist in da Vastelands, hokay?”<br/><br/>Truth be told, he didn’t have *that* many more rounds. Twelve at most, maybe thirteen. Which would give them three shots total. The gun had definitely become a last ditch defense now, although he certainly couldn’t be depressed about its lack of subtly! For that, he still had his short sword tucked behind his cloak, a two-foot-and-some langseax with its cleaver blade and sloping point. It was an antiquated style, but it did its job rather well. Still, he really didn’t want her tinkering with it.<br/><br/>Once the girl was up on her stocking feet, he regarded them with a critical eye. “Ve gots to get you zome shoes or zometing. But first? Youse get dem stockings of’n youse feet. I gots zome bandages und salves dat vill help for now. Oddervize you feet gonna get all manky.” <br/><br/>He raised his gaze to look at the swamp before them. It was thick with vegetation, so much so that he could practically smell the green of it within the stagnant water and sucking mud. What sort of wildlife might be lurking about in there he was unsure of, although it was guaranteed to be unpleasant he knew. Yet he heard no bird or frog, nothing but the slow trickle of water from the gully feeding into the stinking bog. “Mizz Ivy,” he asked cautiously, not taking his eyes away from the darkened interior, “Der any reason da townies haven’t drained dis place for farmland?<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""There're a bunch,"" Ivy answered casually, as she leaned over the foul-smelling muck to ring mud and water out of her hair. It hung in damp, sticky strands around her ears, giving her the overall appearance of a very moist animal of some kind, but Ivy figured there could be worse. Particularly since the only people she might see and recognize still sort of wanted her dead. She kept thinking she ought to be more upset about it. Maybe she was just in shock. But her new Jäger friend was so strangely disarming, she found herself quite unable to place the situation. At least she wasn't burnt to a crisp. <br/><br/>""Mostly that it's out of bounds."" She finished raking the mud out of her hair as best she could, then carelessly wiped her hands on Mama Petra's old apron -- her's now, she supposed. There was no way the matronly old woman would take it back now, singed and Jäger-y as it was -- and turned to Jötz. <br/><br/>""Um...y'know...not to be rude, but we've always heard the Jägerkin are...well, not good for farmland, at least. Nothing out here is good for farmland, and when this is the only still water around..."" She trailed off and shrugged, squinting through the smoky horizon for the unimpressive Motorhum skyline. <br/><br/>""A couple years ago, Toley Vanderhün came out here to find his dog. The dog came back, but Toley didn't, and when the men came out here to get him, they only found a couple burn marks and grease stains. Mama Petra swore up an down it was one of the old Heterodyne constructs gone hunting for 'disobedient little boys', but I think there was a reason Toley's dog always barks at toads now.""<br/><br/>She realized she was rambling, an undeniably dreamy look in her gray eyes, and shut up abruptly. It was that sort of day dreaming that Mama Petra would have spoon-smacked her for, if she wasn't so busy running Ivy out of town. Or getting burnt up in fires. Ivy chewed her lip, suddenly wistful, and looked out at the smoke again, with half a mind to go hunting, just to make sure -- <br/><br/>She shook herself and plopped down on the ground just as quickly as Jötz had pulled her to her feet. <br/><br/>""If you need more rounds,"" she began casually, as she sat to examine her own feet...and more importantly, the remains of her stockings, already thrice patched. Mama Petra would be heated over that, as well. <br/><br/>""I can make more, if you need them. Maybe not now, Mama's apron's running low, but I could find things."" Her eyes lit up abruptly and darted upward to meet the Jäger's. ""I could make them explode, too! And heat-tracking, like I did with the ÜberOven, so -- oh, but right. No noise. Okay, so later, then. Exploding rounds.""<br/><br/>The temporary spark of excited inspiration spent, she folded her stockings carefully over her knees and tucked them into an apron pocket. She'd have to wash them out before Mama Petra caught sight. It would be difficult enough to explain that she was a Spark, let alone a Spark with a penchant for torn stockings. <br/><br/>Curious, she looked up to Jötz again. ""Thank you for saving me,"" she said. ""Also, what are you doing out here? Wouldn't it be easier to...you know...pillage and terrorize in one of the bigger cities?""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jötz sat by her feet, pulling out a battered steel canteen and a small leather pouch from his belt. As she sat back, he took her legs into his lap and gently trickled the cool water across them, washing away the mud and the blood from the many scratches she’s inflicted upon herself. He listened carefully with a critical eye upon her as he tended to her wounds with a gentleness that certainly did not fit in with what villagers were often told of Jägers. She wanted to make more rounds? Fine! He would make sure to save the empty brass casings to make it easier for her. Her day-dreaming stare was another matter, though. He wasn’t quite sure if it was shock, the madness leaving her or… something else.<br/><br/>Her sudden question distracted him from his musings, causing him to start a little. What was he doing out in the Wastes? Oh, boy.<br/><br/>“Ah, vell, ja. But any of da udder guys can make mit da pillaging and raping and killing and da burning in da cities. It’s easy der. Lots of peoples. Lots of buildings. Lots of stuff to be breaking. Is children’s game! No challenge. But to gets a good rampage going where der is not a thing already? *Dat* takes an ar-teest like me!” Pausing to look uphill towards where the smoke still rolled across the sky, he glanced back at Ivy with an idiotic grin. “Not dat I didn’t appreciate da help!”<br/><br/>The salve was thick, cool and soothing upon her feet, taking away aches and fatigue along with the blisters’ swelling and cuts’ stinging. Ivy’s feet wouldn’t feel healed, exactly, but more of cooly numb. And turn bright blue. It would be an attractive blue and lasting only a few days, but there would be no denying that they were no longer not blue. Jötz decided not to go into that now either. Instead the monster flexed his fingers into a relaxing foot massage as he worked the salve further into her flesh. Then he started to wind a thick bandage around her feet, a roll of gauze followed by strips of linen that would keep the medicine fast against her skin and grant some additional protection.<br/><br/>“Zo. Vhatcha gonna do now, Miss Ivy? Zomehow go-ink home don’t look like a goot idea fur youse.” He started on her second foot. “An’ ve’s gotta get youse some shoes fur youse pretty feet.”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Ivy settled on watching him watch her feet at first, her expression one of mingled curiosity and suspicion. Yes, she decided, this was definitely shock. The oldest of ten children, each of them, according to Mama, graced with Ivy's complete lack thereof, she was forever bandaging knees, soothing scrapes, mending torn trousers. Having someone else do the same for her was an experience she couldn't quite put words to. That the 'someone' in question was a Jäger...well, that complicated things a bit. <br/><br/>When she realized she was staring, she went a shade or two pinker and abruptly flopped backwards onto her back to stare at the sky again, wincing only slightly at the first touch of cool water on sore soles. <br/><br/>She tucked her arms under her head, only half listening as Jötz went on about being a talented, murdering artist. Mostly, she was painting images in the sky again. The smoke had only just started to clear, letting the dark purple of nighttime shine through the orange haze. It still didn't make a very pretty picture, but it served well as a sort of metaphor. Made it easier to remember there were things beyond the smoke, at the very least. Or maybe it just meant nothing good could come of playing with fire, literal or otherwise. <br/><br/>It was something Mama Petra would say, and the thought bade her think of home again. She wondered idly if the rest had started back toward Motorhum already. She hoped they got there okay. The Wastes were dangerous after dark. Well, all the time. But especially after dark. Just ask the man-eating toad that had snatched up little Toley Vanderhün. Or Ivy's new Jäger friend. <br/><br/>Propping herself up on her elbows, she studied him as subtlety as she could manage as he hunched over her feet. This was all wrong. A few scant hours ago, she'd been helping Mama make a birthday pie. Now? She was a semi-exiled Spark (because surely they hadn't meant to run her out of town forever), in the Wastes, on her own...save her Jäger-turned-white-knight. Well. Green knight. A knight, anyway.<br/><br/>She didn't hear him speaking right away, caught rather unawares by the sight of her toes. She was certainly glad her feet weren't throbbing anymore...but it would be very difficult to explain to people how not-Sparky and unassuming she was when she was the wrong shade of blue. Or any blue at all. <br/><br/>""Uh..."" She stared at her feet a moment longer, then looked up at Jötz. Well, if he wasn't going to say anything, she wasn't going to ask. ""Right. So if we're not going ho -- er, back to Motorhum, we should...we should get out of the Wastes, right? Or...um...I should. I don't know where you're going. Somewhere to pillage, probably. I guess...I'll find somewhere to...lie low for a while. I can write Mama Petra from an inn the next town over."" She stopped abruptly and blinked as if something had just struck her, quite literally. <br/><br/>""Oh. I've never been out of Motorhum before. There are other towns around...right?""

        Raising an arched brow, Jötz regarded her with a look that hinted on incredulous while being filled with amusement. While he knew he had been delving pretty deeply into the back-beyond, he hadn't realized that not only had he arrived at the most isolated place that ever would or could be but had somehow metaphysically proceeded beyond it. Which wasn’t as impossible as it might sound. The devastation caused by warring Sparks and their armies had done some rather strange things to the whole concept of space and time in the Wastes. He finished tending to her other foot and wrapped it tight in bandages. <br/><br/>“Odder towns? Ders zome odders in da Vastes. Dey kinda come und go. Der vast dis one place, Coggshead, it chust up und poophed one day. Ten years later it chust come back. It vast like no time had passed fur da townsfolk.” He paused to try and remember the rest of the story. Shrugging as there recollection came back, he continued. “Dat may have been becaust dey vast all turned into leetle inch high statues, maybe. But, ja. Ders odder towns.”<br/><br/>He stood up then, his rangy length towering over her as he pulled forth a rag and started to wipe his hands. The rag began to very lightly smoke. “Vhat chou vant isn’t zome town or village, dough. Vhat chou vant is one oft da cities! Dey don’t burn Sparks der. Dey tend to teach dem how not to burn tings down. Spoilsports. Maybe get picked up by da Baron. He treat Sparks dat behave demselves pretty goot, I hear. Chou be nize und safe der in his castle.” Jötz took on a sly look. “Oooor… chou could find zome abandoned castle und claim it. Built chouself a secret 'la-bor-a-tory’, a few monsters, a few minions, couple oft peasants to terrorize… Hmmm, dat’s da life. Chou build zome place where chou ist safe! Ist not like chou can go home again.”<br/><br/>Tossing the rag aside as it continued to smolder with reddish smoke, he turned to examine the swamp better. “Best ve get moving, I am tinking. Vhen da moon comes out, zo does a lot oft odder tings. Ve should find a good camp site und get zome rest.” He grinned back down at her. “Don’t vorry, schveetheart. I stick mit chou til chou settled. Not as dough I gots anyting better to be doing.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Um...uh-huh,"" Ivy replied, clearly not paying attention. Again. <br/><br/>Though this time, she had a pretty good reason, as far as she was concerned. Reason being that despite all the Jäger's efficient kindness and rather disarming, if unusual charm...whatever he'd just smeared all over her feet (which were, for the record, still very, very blue) had left the rag lying six inches to her right smoking. <br/><br/>And okay, so it was a little interesting. A lot interesting. Anything that smoked could have a lot of good news and/or uses going for it. But still. Smoke. Ivy wasn't stupid; where there was smoke, there was fire, or in most cases, anyway, and fire had nearly just claimed her life because she'd gotten a little too trigger-happy. <br/><br/>So. That could definitely be bad. <br/><br/>Or really, really great. <br/><br/>She was half listening, half inching closer to the rag, eyes wide and cautious, sorting through whatever Jötz was going on about for useful information. <br/><br/>Disappearing villages? Nah, she knew where she was headed. The most exciting the Motorhum had done in the last fifty years was erect a second wall around the first wall when the Wastes had started getting a little less inviting. <br/><br/>Floating manses? Meh. Maybe. Only if she could figure out what made them float, and she wasn't sure she even needed a castle for that. <br/><br/>Abandoned castles? Nope. Where was the fun in abandonment? Nowhere. It was gone. Left. Abandoned...or doing the abandoning. Whichever. The point was it wasn't Motorhum, so why get worked up? <br/><br/>Never going back home? Eh. That would only happen if -- <br/><br/>""Sorry, what?"" said Ivy, and the careless, dreamlike quality was gone from her voice. She sat up abruptly, oil-stained fingertips just centimeters short of uncovering the myriad mysteries of the SmolderCloth. <br/><br/>""Did...what do you mean I can't go home? That's my home. I mean, I know they were...put out by the Spark thing, but they'll...My family'll...They'll come around eventually. They have to, I'm...I'm the oldest...""<br/><br/>She trailed off as the reality of her poor argument -- and her rather unfortunate situation -- began to sink in.<br/><br/>""But I don't...even..."" Even what? Believe she was a Spark? What else could it be? She'd only ever known one other Spark from Motorhum, a boy named Johann Townsend. She'd been four years old when he'd built a ray gun out of a coffee maker and three straws. That was the story, anyway. She'd never gotten to ask him. Johann's own family had put him out on the street. The villagers had taken care of the rest not long after that. <br/><br/>Objectively, then, she supposed she'd gotten lucky. Very lucky. The ÜberOven had distracted long enough for her to run. Her family...or maybe just dumb luck had distracted long enough for her to find Jötz. And Jötz had pulled her from the fire, right back into the frying pan, though a frying pan of a very different variety. So, the villagers wouldn't kill her, and her family wouldn't disown her. But they wouldn't take her back, either. <br/><br/>And just like that, the only home she'd ever known was gone. She was homeless. And a Spark. And her only friend had tried to set her feet on fire. Or something. <br/><br/>Quiet, still caught between stunned surprise and wary silence, Ivy got to her feet, idly dusting dirt and mud from her apron. Mama Petra's apron. At least she wouldn't ever know about the ruined stockings. Ivy balanced on one foot at a time and pulled the on, more out of sentiment than necessity. <br/><br/>""Alright,"" she said finally, when she couldn't think of any more reasons why Jötz ought to just take her back to Motorhum. ""I'm ready. Let's...let's go."" <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>It tugged on his heart strings, watching Ivy come to the realization that her old life was gone to her now. He hadn’t been much older than her when he’d taken the Draught. But he at least had done so willingly, thankfully even, out of love and service to the Heterodyne family. Jötz’s old life was long gone to him as well, but he had embraced it. His interest in the girl went from curiosity to pity. Showing that pity was a bad idea, feeding her a poison that would weaken her while she strove to survive in a world she really didn’t know. Instead, the Jäger opted for solemnity instead.<br/><br/>“Goot,” he said. Without another word, he lifted her off of her feet, which by now had cooled to a soothing sensation that should have felt as though her feet were still being lightly massaged. The rag he stomped out easily. The salve did have that property when in contact with some fabrics, he recalled, but the torn and muddy stockings seemed fine protected as they were by the linen and gauze. Cradling her in his overly long arms, he made a jerking motion with his neck. “Chou throw youse arms around my neck, hokay? I run at a slower pace. Chou rest you feet.”<br/><br/>And before she could protest or say another word of any sort, they were off. It wasn’t as fast a pace as before, more of a leisurely jog that did not tire him in the least. Jötz held her close in his arms, safer than a babe with its mother. He wasn’t quite sure how long he ran for, concentrating instead on splitting his attention between seeking out a decent shelter and watching for possible threats. There were far too many things that could go wrong. While he would normally enjoy such sport, taking care of this girl seemed a higher priority than going a few rounds with some abandoned construct or forgotten clank. The moon was starting to sink by the time he slowed, his eyes spying the remains of stone walls about a large weeping willow.<br/><br/>“Der ve go,” he murmured. The branches should shelter them from any rain while the scent of the moss and heather about the ground might help hide them from anything that could sniff them out. The walls themselves were ancient. Lichen covered the blocks, all scored with ancient signs of fire. It hadn’t been a large building, but two of the walls were still strong and stout and could protect them from behind while the great girth of the tree’s trunk would keep them from sight. Protected from the elements as best as they could be, he set her down tenderly against the interior corner.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Oh, no, you don't have to -- "" was as far as she got before realizing her new friend/mode of transportation either couldn't hear her or didn't hear what she had to say. Her feet didn't hurt anymore, but she supposed it was best to avoiding looking her various gift horses in the mouth just yet. Seeing as how she didn't have a place to live anymore. Or a willing family. <br/><br/>""Uh. Well, thanks, then,"" she said quietly as she shifted into a position she hoped was more comfortable for both of them, hooking first one arm, and then the other around a fuzzy neck before craning her own to catch the last traces of Motorhum on the horizon. There wasn't much to see. A lot of smoke. A faint smudge of orange that might have been light from the village, or remnant of wildfire. Motorhum had never been very big. It's silhouette traced a lumpy pattern against the last light of day. It looked smaller than it ever had from way out here. Ivy realized abruptly she'd never been so far from home. People didn't leave Motorhum. <br/><br/>She wrenched herself around roughly to look forward instead of behind, ballooning her cheeks to exhale slowly. It was easy, too easy, to feel sorry for herself. And kind of unfair, if she really got down to it. She certainly hadn't felt sorry for the Townsend boy. If she was very honest with herself, she could almost remember laughing with delight as she'd toddled after her parents and the rest of the village, a dinner fork clutched in her chubby fist in place of a pitchfork. And Johann hadn't had the benefit of being picked up by a Wasteland-savvy Jäger on his way out, either. Really, Ivy had gotten pretty lucky. She'd be eighteen in a few short hours, and practically an adult, anyway. Time to find something to do on her own. To that end, Motorhum hadn't been very kind. Aspen was only sixteen and already being courted by half the town. No one was all that interested in a girl who spent half her life in the clouds, and the rest covered in grease. Truth be told, Motorhum had started feeling cramped years ago, and Ivy always half suspected she'd never really fit in there. <br/><br/>So, yes. Things were good. This was good. She looked ahead to the dark of night and the wild and unexplored territory of the Wastes and nodded once. This was good. For the best, at the very least. Better the twins grew up with good memories of her, rather than fried to a crisp by something she made and couldn't control. This was good. She said it again as a foreign prickle began in her eyes and something thick and solid lodged at the back of her throat. <br/><br/>Good. This was good. <br/><br/>xxx<br/><br/>She wouldn't have guessed she could sleep in the arms of a Jäger jogging through the Wastelands in the middle of the night, her hair smelling of smoke, barefoot and on the run. But she must have dozed off at some point, because one minute, she was stealing one final glance at Motorhum (or perhaps just a boulder that looked like Motorhum), and the next she was half waking to find herself on the ground amidst ruined stone walls and a giant tree. <br/><br/>It took her a long, dazed moment of blinking dumbly at Jötz to remember where she was and why, and another several seconds to recall none of it was dream or nightmare. <br/><br/>When that was done, she studied their surroundings, about to ask where they were, then deciding against it. Motorhum was long gone, she knew. Maybe it was best to find out just how gone by the light of a proper dawn. As it were, the moon had nearly faded from the sky. <br/><br/>She yawned at looked at her travel companion. <br/><br/>""I guess...I ought to thank you,"" she started awkwardly. ""For...y'know, rescuing me from the fire. And the mob. But also..."" She coughed, blushed, studied the hem of her apron. ""Well, thanks."" <br/><br/>When she could look at him again, she tilted her head to the side, expression quizzical. ""Do you want to sleep? In Logan's stories, when people are...um...on the run, one person sleeps, and the other keeps watch."" She chewed her lip for a moment, then nodded at the lower of the two walls, suddenly excited. <br/><br/>""I could watch from there,"" she said, pointing at a little sunken area of worn bricks. She considered asking for his newly remodeled gun, then thought better of it. Saving rounds and all. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>“Nah,” Jotz waived her off towards the nook as he settled himself against the trunk of the tree. “Don’t need as much sleep as youse townspipple. Youse relax youself a bit, Miss Ivy, ‘nd I wake you closer to dawn. Less stuff happen as da sun come up.” He pulled out the hand cannon from beneath his cloak, followed by an oil cloth from one of the innumerable pouches on his belt. Now was not the time to clean the weapon properly, but a quick oiling could never hurt! <br/><br/>He kept a careful watch on the Spark as he ran the cloth over the metal meticulously. She was young, she was intelligent and she was alone in a world she didn’t know. It was not a combination that could produce any good results, especially should things become any more the dangerous for them. Normal people froze or fled when confronted with life-threatening circumstances, some few bravely standing their ground or insanely throwing themselves at the danger. Sparks, however, tended too much to watch in appreciation. New stimuli produced new ideas, new machines, new mayhem! Throw in how difficult a teenager could be to start with? Jotz vaguely remembered his teenage years, and it was not with any sort of nostalgia. Then add in the increased feelings of isolation since she had just been… well… isolated! <br/><br/>“If youse not too sleepy, we could talk,” the monster figure offered diffidently. “I gots lots of stories. Da Caves of Proust. Da Watchmen of Count Schwundgrad. Da Fall of Lady Jia-Jang und her Stalvart Soldiers of Straw.” He should his head sadly. “Vhy she tought an army made outta hay vast a goot idea ist beyond me! Took forever to get da smoke outta my fur!”<br/><br/>He fixed a careful eye on Ivy, keeping his face placid and calm. “So… vhat chou wanna hear about?""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Ivy considered for a moment, then shrugged. Playing with the pistol she'd made him sounded like more fun...but she supposed sleeping was the practical option. ""Alright,"" she acquiesced. ""If you're sure.""<br/><br/>She didn't feel tired, though. Or rather, she didn't feel sleepy. Tired, maybe, from the days events, or just the knowledge that had come with it. But sleep could wait for the moment. Perhaps that was just because it was the first night she'd ever spent away from Motorhum, or even away from her home. She might have made allowances for her bed, except she'd used to sneak out onto the roof when it got too warm on summer nights. If she didn't think about it too much, she could pretend this was that.<br/><br/>But her face lit up at the mention of stories. They were none like she'd ever heard. Mama Petra and the other townsfolk had plenty of stories about Sparks and the endless wars between them. One of the men in the town had been able to recall half a hundred different Spark-y inventions he swore up and down he'd seen first hand, all with some grand tale of escape...or not. But when she'd asked questions, he'd always turned her away or told her he couldn't remember. Sparks in a town like Motorhum were bogeymen, scary stories to tell young siblings at night. You could say just about anything and it could be true about some Spark, somewhere. But it all felt safe, because there were no Sparks in Motorhum. Or there hadn't been. <br/><br/>Ivy brushed away the thought with a shake of her head, pushing an incorrigible lock of hair from her eyes. She stifled a yawn and sat up with her back against the wall, her arm wrapped around her knees. The apron she'd carefully until and folded aside, tucked behind her for safe keeping. <br/><br/>She beamed cautiously at Jötz. <br/><br/>""I can stay up a little longer,"" she said eagerly. ""Logan knew all those stories, but I never heard any of these. I bet he'd love them."" She paused for the briefest of moments, lifting her eyes to study the stars, before looking back at her travel companion. <br/><br/>""I want to hear them all.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>“All,” Jotz laughed, “Dot’s a lotta stories! How abouts I tells chou da von about Da Ghost Oft Da Vastes fur now, hmm?”<br/><br/>He settled back agains the tree roots and started his tale about a time before the Wastes, before the wars even, when the countryside was more or less peaceful. It was of an age when The Storm King ruled. And as he told his tale, Jotz’s accent seemed to disappear the more involved he got into telling the story. Had he been faking it or playing it up all along? Or was it simply that once the story was started, his distinctive way of talking became… normal in comparison.<br/><br/>“… and so the Great Canals connected all of Europa, you see. The massive earth diggers they used to dig the ditches and waterways were then easily converted into steam barges to keep down on the waste, and the engineers and pilots who did all of this became the first canallers. They were a lot like tinkers and gypsies, you see? They had their own way of talking and doing things, their own slang and customs. Canallers got themselves a bit of reputation as scoundrels and rogues, yet the stories and songs that survive to this day made them out to be pretty popular with the common folks. Maybe it was because their lives seemed so much free-er than the folks in town or the farmers in their fields. <br/><br/>“Only the burghers and mayors and the like, they didn’t think too highly of the canallers. Sure, they were needed to transport stuffs from one place to another, but there were nasty rumors of smuggling and child snatching and all sorts of evil stuff like that. After a few generations, they were considered the worse sort of vagabonds! And maybe there was some truth to it, and maybe there wasn’t. Point was, the townsfolk started turning agains the canallers. They were treated almost as badly as minor Sparks are today!<br/><br/>“So one day, in a little place called Bad Schuschen, a mob got together. Claimed some canaller girl was causing some troubles-“<br/><br/>A sudden crack caught Jotz’s ear. He stopped suddenly, cocking his head to one side as he listened closely. <br/><br/>The swamp had become eerily quiet while he had been telling his tale, almost as though every living thing in the bog had started listening to him relate it. Everything except for the frogs...<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Despite her earlier promises, Ivy was nearly asleep well before her Jötz finished his story, having curled on one side, her apron tucked under her head. Her hair did its job in betraying her, tumbling down to curl over her cheeks and nose, finding all manner of loose leaves and twigs on the ground behind her. <br/><br/>Even so, she seemed untouched by this or the cold, or even the fact that she had effectively run away from a home that no longer wanted her. She had spent the last ten years or so being story'd to sleep by one of her younger brothers, and she'd found, fairly early on in this one, that if she closed her eyes, she could almost pretend the Jäger was Logan, albeit older, growly-er, and greener. <br/><br/>It was a good story, though, exactly the sort Logan would love, and she tried hard to store away the finer details even as she drifted off, promising herself she would find some way to send it home, even if it meant adopting a pseudonym. Logan would love that, thinking he had a mystery pen pal. And all the better if that pen pal was a Spark on the run!<br/><br/>She might never have noticed Jötz had stopped talking if only the frogs hadn't been so loud. Everything else around them had fallen silent, leaving Ivy to imagine her life as a gypsy-Spark-canaller, or something equally appealing. But it was not so long before her subconscious realized the story she'd fallen asleep on had been replaced by a rather irksome croaking. <br/><br/>Ivy frowned in her sleep, blearily opening first one green eye, then the other, then sitting up slowly, drawing a hand across her face and leaving a streak of mud behind. <br/><br/>Oblivious, she turned to Jötz, yawning. <br/><br/>""I wazn 'sleep,"" she protested sleepily. ""You were at the part 'bout pirates and...snatchin'...somethin'...""<br/><br/>It was then she realized he wasn't really listening to her, and started to relax, thinking she might have successfully acted her way out of trouble -- when the croaking seemed suddenly to swell and then stop all at once. <br/><br/>Ivy blinked and frowned. That wasn't right. Either she was dreaming, or...<br/><br/>One hand snaked into her apron pocket even as she looked up to see three rather large, bluish toads sitting atop their wall, staring down at Ivy and Jötz with bulbous eyes. Ivy canted her head to one side, then whispered across to the Jäger in a manner that might have been conspiratorial if it weren't so...loud. <br/><br/>""Are we still hiding?"" she asked, still digging around in her pocket for something that might be useful, in the event they needed something useful. ""'Cause if so, I think maybe we're not doing a very good job.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jötz looked up to the top of the wall to see the three blue toads staring down at them. Each was the size of a large cat, their skins slimy and covered in warts so large that they stood out in the moonlight. Part of him wanted to argue that read toads weren’t supposed to be slimy, they were dry skinned creatures. Frogs were slimy. Newts were slimy. But there was something about the trio of amphibians that definitely said ‘toad.’ He would have loved to say that they were glaring down at him and Ivy, only expressions on faces such as those were really unreadable. They might have been angry. They might have been hungry. Perhaps they were merely curious. The only thing that the Jaeger could discern was that they were toads. And blue.<br/><br/>“I tink ve vas hidink,” he whispered back, “Und now ve starts runnink.” Then he realized there was a croak behind him, from the other side of the tree. Looking over his shoulder and around the trunk revealed a number of other blue, slimy, warty toads with bulbous eyes… all staring back at him. Slowly, Jötz turned around again to look up at the first three. There was nothing in his memory that he could recall about creatures like this. Were they natural creatures created by accident, or were they constructs crafted by some crazed Spark for whatever reason? More importantly, were they actually a threat? The villagers seemed to think so, otherwise this swamp would have been drained for farmland ages ago.<br/><br/>“Hooo-kay,” he drawled out in a whisper back to Ivy. “Zo maybe runnink iz no so goot an idea. Dey iz behind us, too.” Hefting his newly reconfigured gun, he raised an eyebrow as he mused over the idea of a nice little fight to try it out. Then again, they were outnumbered and in enemy territory. No, wait. Wasn’t that the perfect time to try it out?? He decided to give Ivy a bit of a lead and let her decide. The toads hadn’t actually attacked yet. “Zo. Chou ist a Spark, ja? Dis iz Sparky-stuff. Whatchu tink?""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Ivy, once again, wasn't really listening, staring at the large beryl toads as if transfixed. <br/><br/>""Hm?"" she murmured, frowning as if in thought. The appearance of the giant toad monsters on the ground behind Jötz had startled her, but now she couldn't look away. Or stop inching toward them. <br/><br/>""Stop saying that,"" Ivy went on, still sounding rather dazed. Another trio of toads had arranged itself in front of her -- or rather, she had had arranged herself in front of the trio -- and now she knelt before them, slowly lowering herself onto her elbows until she was eye-level with the nearest of the three. ""I'm not a Spark. Or not a good one, I just...""<br/><br/>Whatever she was 'just' was lost as she put out a cautious finger to poke on of the toads. To her credit, or perhaps the toad's, it did nothing until her finger came in squishy contact with one bulbous eyeball. Then it let out a sound that might have been a croak, but sounded more like a snarling screaming, opening its mouth far larger than any creature ought to have been able to achieve, revealing six rows of tiny needlelike teeth. <br/><br/>Ivy reared back, but the look on her face was one of abstract delight. <br/><br/>""These are the kind that killed Toley!"" she exclaimed, as the toads started up their chorus again. ""They hate loud noises. And fire!'<br/><br/>Her eyes flicked back to Jötz for a moment, then down this his new hand cannon, and back up. She frowned. <br/><br/>""Why are you just sitting there?! Gimme.""<br/><br/>Without waiting for an answer, she leapt up and snatched her fun -- er, his gun -- from his hands, aimed (sort of) and fired. <br/><br/>He had never bothered to fulyl reload after she'd shown him how to use it, so only three rounds remained in the barrels. The concussions all came less than a half a second apart, each giving Ivy a chance to find a new target. <br/><br/>Boom. <br/><br/>The first round struck the base of the tree, carving out a smoldering hollow the twice the size of her fist and smattering toad innards around she and Jötz like rain. <br/><br/>Boom. <br/><br/>The second round the buried under six inches of loose earth under the lowest of the remaining walls, causing the whole thing to tremble, creak, and groan...and ultimately, hold out as it had been doing for many years already. <br/><br/>Ivy grinned almost manic. She knew she liked fire. And explosions. But demolition was a hobby she hadn't yet had to to enjoy, and she planned to do so very much now. <br/><br/>Boom.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, it was not to be. The first two shots had rendered Ivy unstable, and the third had finished the work, sending the last round wide -- though it did knock a few stones (and more than a few toads) off the top of the wall. Ivy scowled again, then shrugged and tossed the gun aside carelessly before scrambling to her feet. <br/><br/>""There,"" she half sang to no one in particular. ""Bought us time."" And then she was digging through her aprons pockets again, humming numbers under her breath. <br/><br/>She was not long in her creation this time. Whether it simply required less involvement or less know-how never actually occurred. It was only a few minutes later when Ivy half turned back to Jötz. The toads were still screaming, alarmed or angered by her earlier display, though caution made them wary in any second wave attacks. Assuming they were attacking. Ivy did. They probably were. Or they weren't, but she'd already finished her new toy and needed something to test it on. <br/><br/>The new toy, or toys, as it were, had actually been constructed from old toys. Two small handfuls of her younger sister's little metal jacks, all rigged to create little detonations when they struck the ground (or when a toad struck a jack) hard enough. The explosions probably wouldn't do any more than scare a toad as big as these were. One or two might lose a limb. But they were made mostly to create light and sound. Lots of sound. <br/><br/>Ivy grinned and pulled a jack out of the bunch, hurling one at a toad just creeping over the partly crumbled wall. It struck and exploded with enough force to send the toad hurtling back, creating a brief but deafening crack in the night air. <br/><br/>Ivy giggled, delighted, jumping up an down. Perfect! And she had whole handfuls left! <br/><br/>She held out cupped hands to Jötz, still vibrating with excitement. <br/><br/>""See? You wanna try 'em all at once?"" <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jotz swore under his breath as she let loose with the cannon fire. Grabbing his hat tight to his head, he rolled behind her in hopes that it was the safest place to be, although at that moment anywhere not in front of that gun was the safest place to be! The roar of the gun was deafening. While Ivy could not hit the broadside of a barn, it quickly became apparent that she could damn well hit pretty much everything else! In fact, the Jager decided then and there that the best way to teach her to shoot was to not aim at what she wanted to hit! Stone chips bounced off of him as the third shot caused several ancient bricks to shatter. When she oh-so-casually dropped the four barreled pistol that blew apart pretty much anything in its path of fire, Jotz was quick to snatch it up and start reloading.<br/><br/>As Ivy fumbled into her apron pockets to bring forth Sparky death, Jotz rose up and laid down what cover fire he could with judicious blasts of the hand cannon. Whatever bizarre improvement her madness had done to improve it, it was impressive! Jotz could only compare it to a small caliber Clank-Gun with only some of the recoil. ‘Some’ meaning that he could still stand after firing it. More frog guts fountained into the nighttime air with each hit. Only the damn things kept coming! They weren’t swarming as they had a second ago, but their ranks surrounding them continued to swell as replacements arrived from who-knew-where.<br/><br/>*CRACK*<br/><br/>Whirling around, Jotz came face to face with a wildly grinning Ivy. In her palms were a number of small jacks that had been…<br/><br/>“All of dem at vonce?!” he asked incredulously. “Ve’d go def!!”<br/><br/>Suddenly the ancient stone wall behind them shuddered as if struck by something very large and heavy. There followed a sound that might have been called a ‘ribbitt’ if it had been uttered by something the size of an elephant. The wall shuddered again, several stones falling to roll away towards their feet. In the darkness, Jotz couldn’t quite be sure, but he thought he could make out the shape of two bulbous eyes roughly the size of street lamps each. That was when it became obvious to him that the toads hadn’t really attacked. Not yet. No, they had been waiting for reinforcements. He did some quick mental calculations in his head based on his observations of the blue toads that surrounded them now; if the thing on the other side of the barrier had similar warts, as rough and thick in proportion, Ivy’s little ‘cracker-jacks’ may not do much good.<br/><br/>“But dey ist do-ink nice tings mit hearing aides und trumpets und da like dese days, I hears,” he hastily amended as he scooped up a handful, “Zo, ja! All at vonce! Vhat a great idea!”<br/><br/>With the strength only a Jager could manage, he hurled the explosive caltrops with great force at the toads on the far side of the tree before grabbing her arm and yanking her along to follow as he ran into the open swamp. The resulting din was indeed near deafening and left a heavy ringing in his ears; bringing his hand cannon to bear on those toads that came too close, Jotz couldn’t even hear the gun going off. There was no point in looking over his shoulder to see if any of the toads were following: either they weren’t and all was well and good, or they were and time would be wasted with looking. All he knew was that they had to get out in the open. If whatever monstrosity had been behind that wall caught them cornered like that again, it would be doubtful they could escape. Far better that they stay out in the clear, giving them better options to try to escape. The toads already knew they were there, anyway, so there was no point in hiding. <br/><br/>As they ran, Jotz found himself grinning ear to ear. And here he had thought the Wastes were going to be boring!!
      </div>
</div><br/><br/>Ivy might have been annoyed at her furry travel companion for dragging her away from the action...if she hadn't been so utterly, completely and totally thrilled by the action itself.<br/><br/>It seemed almost unbelievable. One minute, silence. Stories about floating castles or pirate robots, or something -- she could hardly remember anymore -- the next, there were toads, and toad innards, and explosions she was positive would win her some sort of prize thrice over in anyone had heard. And they most certainly had. At this point, the sleepy occupants of Motorhum would undoubtedly be after them again, which was just as well, because her apron was running low, and she wanted to make more loud noises.<br/><br/>She giggled to herself, avoiding stumbling along by some miracle, as she stared at the teetering remains of the charred walls they'd tried to use to keep the swamps where the swamps belonged. It was a long moment before she realized she couldn't hear herself -- or anything, really -- over the high-pitched whine in her ears. That threatened to upset her manic giddiness, afraid she was missing more explosions, until she remembered she only couldn't hear because her first (or third? Or fifth? Whatever) Sparky venture had probably obliterated her obnoxiously normal eardrums. She'd have to fix that later.<br/><br/>For now, she had the few remaining toads to consider...though none of them seemed to be following. They had instead clustered around the base of the wall the giant toad king, or whatever it was, had been using as a shield. Apparently, not a very effective one.<br/><br/>Ivy dug her heels in hard against Jötz's retreat.<br/><br/>""Stop!"" she demanded imperiously. ""We have to go back!"" Or at least, she hoped that was what she said. It was hard to tell.<br/><br/>There was<i>some</i>reason the warty little projectiles weren't following. She wondered idly if they were poisonous. She was sure she could use their grimy skins in some way. Perhaps an amphibian clank. That speared fish. And small fishing vessels. Ivy wasn't much for competition."

Jötz stared at her incredulously as though she were mad. Which was the case, of course, for what were Sparks if not crazed scientists and looney inventors. It was by no accident that Sparks were often called 'mad boys.' All the same, the odds were not in what he thought were their favor. He was a Jaeger, afraid of little and enthusiastic in mayhem, yet that did not mean he was as foolish as he might sometimes seem. Whatever that thing was behind the wall, he doubted he could take it and the assorted small sized monsters about them all at the same time even with Ivy's cracker-jacks. The blue toads hadn't followed. Going back into their den seemed just a tad crazier than he could appreciate. ""Chou ist joking, ja? Ist a funny, like telling zome new recruit to find a left-handed smoke shifter, ja?""<br/><br/>""Look, Miss Ivy, chou ist a pretty young gurl dat makes tings go boom und smells nize. Maybe not very nize, but nize. Chou don't want to end dat by becoming toad-chow, alright?""<br/><br/>Only as soon as the words were out of fanged mouth, the green furred soldier knew it was pointless. Ivy had that look in her eye that only meant one thing when it came to a Spark: 'Obey me now and I won't turn you into something nasty.' Granted it was hard to think of something nastier than a Jaeger, at least when it came to fighting. But she wanted to be obeyed, she would be obeyed and she would be obeyed NOW. Jötz could only shake his head. Better to humor her than try to force her; he hated to think what might happen if she tried to feed any of those cracker-jack things to him! ""Alright, alright!"" he finally surrendered after taking the glare for several moments longer than any sane person would. Throwing his hands up in the air in despair he added, ""Not like I vast doing anyting better mit my life dan living it! Let's go!""<br/><br/>Jötz took point on the less hurried trudge back towards where the toads had surrounded them, muttering varies imprecations beneath his breath as to how he had found himself in this situation. He finally shut up again when he remembered how: a pretty girl.<br/><br/><i>Come to think of it, that's how most of my problems in life have started...</i>"
18754,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-03-18 04:39:00,DotCom,"Ivy didn't hear anything before Jötz reluctant acquiescence but, ""No, you are stupid and wrong and also your mother is a goat,"" and nothing after but, ""I'm sorry, you were right, I was wrong.""<br/><br/>Having turned the necessary corner between the murderous rage that had been blossoming inside her -- her mother was most certainly<i>not</i>a goat! -- she grinned ear to ear and began to hum to herself as she skipped back to the sight they'd carved out with her lovely miniature devices. This was turning out to be a grand night, after all. Fire, firefights, bombs, and winning. Ivy<i>loved</i>winning.<br/><br/>Jötz long-legged and unhurried stride put him back in their little hovel just a few seconds before Ivy, and she brusquely shoved him aside to clamber up the charred remainders of the tree to peer over the charred remainders of the wall. Lots of charring here. Wonderful stuff, char.<br/><br/>The giant blue toads had retreated somewhat, gathered, it would seem, around whatever maybe-or-maybe-not fallen adversary they had been reliant upon to save them. They none of them seemed to take notice or interest in the dark-haired girl with a manic smile as she scooted down the length of the tree's thickest limb, apron wrapped around her waist, her hands black with soot.<br/><br/>Ivy was still singing softly to herself, tuneless, syncopated numbers, on and on, gleeful as a child in a meadow. It was a few moments before she was in a position where she was able to see what exactly had been giant-croaking at them, and what sorts of damage her little explosives had done.<br/><br/>It turned out...not much.<br/><br/>Ivy squinted through the dark for a moment, growing quickly frustrated when her eyes didn't adjust fast enough for her to make out what exactly she was looking at. She'd have to fix that later.<br/><br/>For now, though, she stared through the darkness at the earth writhing with blue bodies, gouts of green and red and yellow splashed here and there from blood, guts, and worse.<br/><br/>At the center of a mass, there was a lump mound that gleamed slightly in the scant moonlight, roughly the size of a large steer. There was a horrendous smell rising up off the mound. Ivy sniffed, gagged, then grinned, leaning further out over her branch.<br/><br/>A number of things happened very quickly then.<br/><br/>The mound gave a croak that breached even Ivy's muffled hearing, simultaneously causing the ground to tremble just enough to cause a cascade of stones to tumble from the wall below her. This, in and of itself was fortunate for two reasons: some of those falling stones crushed and/or trapped the smaller toads still circling their queen, or whatever it was. It also created something of a sand trap between the interior of the walls, and the horde of toads themselves.<br/><br/>This last part was fortunate because at that precise moment, the burnt and eviscerated trunk of the tree decided to give under Ivy's precarious weight. The thing screamed and groaned and tipped, directly into the toad-swarm, dumping Ivy none too gently upon the pile of rubble.<br/><br/>The fallen wall had cast some light upon the toad-monster. Ivy stared in mild interested at its burnt and blistered skin. Then she turned to Jötz.<br/><br/>""Well, they weren't useless. That'll cause some mild irritation, at the very least. The very,<i>very</i>least.""<br/><br/>Then she cringed as the thing bellowed in her ear before leaping to her feet.<br/><br/>""Okay, c'mon, time to run again!"""

The Jaeger could only shake his head in frustration as he leaned against the ruin of the wall to wait for her to do... whatever the hell it was she thought she was doing. Most people thought Jaegerkin incapable of retreating. This was patently untrue! Jötz and his fellows had no problem with retreating when the situation called for it, because retreating meant you were falling back into a better tactical position; it was true that they would never be routed, however. A Jaeger who had no way out and knew it would just keep fighting on both for the thrill of it and because they never surrendered either. He had been perfectly fine with running away from the toads. Jötz had no real quarrel with them. Only now they were back at the site they had just retreated from, Ivy trying to covertly spy upon-<br/><br/>The sonic croak that interrupted his internal grumblings was truly titanic in nature, causing the wall he had been leaning against to crumbly away from the force of the reverberations. The falling tree trunk demolished the rest of the stone structure, leaving Jötz exposed and surprised as he faced what he could only assume was the mother of all blue, slimy, fanged toads. The creature let out another deafening bellow at the sight of him standing there wide-eyed in shock. This time it was Ivy who grabbed his hand to yank him away at a dead run from the enraged amphibian, and disorientated by the speed in which this had all just happened Jötz stumbled along after her until he finally found his footing.<br/><br/>Sure of his balance and speed once more, he scooped Ivy up over his shoulder while passing her the gun. Even as he sped along the swampy ground, he could hear the sound of the toad now following after them with little splishing splashing sounds as they hopped after at great speed. ""I run! You fire!"" he yelled to the girl as he dodged around a large boulder. He couldn't be sure at the speed with which he was running, but he thought it vaguely resembled a building's cornerstone. Had there been more structures here once? As interesting as the idea of building a town in the middle of a stinking fen was, the Jaeger was far more concerned with finding their way out of the swamp and away from these creatures. It was hard to tell which direction there were headed in. The canopy of thick willow and elm trees prevented him from seeing the starts to help guide them; with luck, they wouldn't end up going in circles to end up back at Motorhum!"

But it was, in her mind, well worth the wait as she wrapped both hands around the lacquered grip and squinted to improve her chances of hitting something that wasn't a tree, rock, or patch of sky.<br/><br/>Fortunately, her target was very large and gaining, so thank God for small mercies. She wasn't sure how many rounds they had left, or when or if she'd be able to make new ones, but since this hardly seemed the time to be conservative, she decided to pour her energies into making those remaining shots count.<br/><br/>She braced her elbows against Jötz's shoulder, took a breath, and held it thinking next time she remolded the pistol, assuming he ever let her touch it again, that she'd have to build in a new sight. Maybe a telescoping one. If she could get the magnification high enough, she could probably get it to double as a solar-powered laser, too, and necessarily increase accuracy and also have a laser, so that was a win-win for --<br/><br/>The sound of the first round leaving the barrel was shocking enough to bring her back to herself and provide a rude reminder that she must have squeezed the trigger without even realizing it. Fortunately, it seemed her aim had been improved by her carelessness, as a sudden gout of blood and gore seemed to explode outward from Queen Toad's belly, then a powerful hind leg, then its head area and gut again before the pistol was reduced to coughing smoke.<br/><br/>Ivy stared as the toad gave another ear-splitting croak before stumbling over itself and the mangled remains of its leg, and the distance between herself and her quarry seemed to increase magically. The other toads slowed their pursuit to either mourn or cannibalize their dying queen -- Ivy didn't much care to watch that. She wasn't entirely certain the threat was gone so much as inhibited, and she didn't want to find out.<br/><br/>""I...I think it's okay,"" she said slowly, still bouncing along with the gun clutched in sticky hands. ""But maybe we should find somewhere new to hide."""

For Jötz, this was one of the latter. Only slightly less worrying was the eagerness in which Ivy had accepted the proffered weapon, the gun being nearly yanked out of his hand as he passed it up to her. By the sounds that followed, however, she was putting it to good use! He only winced a little when her elbows dug into his shoulder blade with each thunderous recoil; for the first time in many decades, Jötz had to wonder if he was going to have bruises. That thought was quickly driven out by the growling croak that was more scream than ribbit. Ivy had apparently scored at least one critical hit on the beast. The sounds of its brood were beginning to lessen as his pounding legs put more distance between them and the toads, and the Jaeger did everything he could to ensure that as many large boulders, trees, hummocks and other obstacles were included in that distance.<br/><br/>Still... he couldn't help but notice that many of the formations were oddly rectangular in shape. He nodded in distraction as the girl suggested finding somewhere new to hide. ""Dat's a gut idea!"" he called back up to her. ""Lessee if ve can-""<br/><br/>Jötz didn't have a chance to complete his sentence as the ground suddenly gave way beneath them. Even before he began to fall that first inch, he was cursing himself for not paying more attention. Trap? Sinkhole? Underground river? It didn't matter. At the stomp of one heavy heeled boot, the mossy rocks beneath them shifted to pitch them into darkness. Even as he swore under his breath, instinct kicked in. Long, green furred arms wrapped around Ivy to pull her off his shoulder and into his chest, sheltering her so that any impact would fall mainly upon his body and not hers. There was a change in sensation as they dropped. The odor was drier, staler than up above with its thick marsh stench and moldy wetness, and it was an even stone floor that he bounced across several times before rolling to a stop against some sort of wall, a shower of stone, slate and decrepit wooden slats coming down with them. Vague light filtered in from the hole they had just dropped though.<br/><br/>Even with his senses dealing, Jötz could see that it was a manmade chamber of some sort. Without additional light, it was hard to see any other details, but he was sure that there was little in nature that made floors and walls and ceilings so perfectly straight. Even though they had stopped, it was several heartbeats before he began to relax his protective embrace around the young woman."

For all she had dreamt of leaving Motorhum -- however briefly -- this night to dawn romp had been nothing like what she'd expected. Not that she'd known what to expect at all. Running for your life didn't leave much time for forethought, though somehow, she'd imagined a lot less falling and a lot more pirates.<br/><br/>Ivy lay in the darkness, breathing heavy, though she hadn't been doing very much running at all. It was her second -- or third time? -- cradled in the furry green arms of her new Jaeger companion that night. Also her third time in a life time which made the eve of her eighteenth birthday something of a record-setting notion. She held his gun cradled to her chest just as lovingly as a new mother might hold a child, feeling her heart beat in her cheeks and finger tips. She didn't know what had changed, or even what had happened, really. It seemed Jötz had found them somewhere else to hide, and judging by the faint echoes of their breathing, it was at least somewhat walled in.<br/><br/>Strange, since she hadn't remembered seeing very many buildings out this way. Stranger, because no one had built anything in the swamp for at least a billion years, or something equally unimaginable. Maybe just a few generations.<br/><br/>In any case, she couldn't hear any more croaking, and that was as good a sign as any. She wiggled a little, testing all her body parts to make sure they still functioned, then wriggled out of Jötz grasp and upright, squinting through the darkness to see whether she could find anymore hints on their location.<br/><br/>""You know,"" she mused, as she peered up toward the faint patch of tangerine dawn she could see, ""this is the most fleeing I've ever done in one night. Is that how it always is with you?""<br/><br/>She tucked her chin to look down at him when he didn't answer right away, head curiously tilted to one side, like that of a small, confused animal.<br/><br/>""Are you alright?"""

""Ja, ja. I chust jarred my head a bit on da vay down."" He then looked up at her with a look of injured pride. ""Und I vast not fleeing. Jaegers don't flee. I vas chust... adopting a new tactical position. Ja, dat's it! Fleeing. Pah.""<br/><br/>He slowly gathered his feet beneath him and stood up, rubbing his head between the two small horns that crested his skull. It was then that a look of horror crossed his face, and Jötz began to look around frantically. ""Mine hat! Vhere iz mine hat?!"" The green furred creature began looking about for the now missing brown derby with all the energy a mother might put into looking for a lost child. A slew of profanities fell from his fanged mouth as he cast about for it with reckless abandon. It didn't matter where they were at that point. They could have been in the pleasured palaces of Paris or standing at the rim of a highly active volcano surrounded by carnivorous beagles. ""A Jaeger mitout a hat,"" he muttered to himself. ""Any plan vhere you lose you hat ist a bad plan. I lost mine hat, so dis iz a bad plan und zo dis iz a bad place to be!""<br/><br/>Looking up at the girl, he scowled. She seemed so calm and collected (compared to his current state at any rate) that it was almost annoying. Having been unable to find his headwear for all his frantic searching, Jötz looked positively petulant. ""A hatless Jaeger. I vill be da laughing stock iffn ve come across other Jaegers, chou know. Chust you wait! Dey vill see me und go, 'Ho, ho. He lost his hat! He ist a silly boy.""<br/><br/>Clearly upset by the whole turn of events, the monster crossed his arms and plopped down against a wall in a pout. ""I didn't even get to keel anyone today. I bet da Jaegers mit da Baron get to keel people all da time."""

There was nothing in any of her (admittedly shallow) pools of village learning that had said Jaegers would be sweet, or even charming, unless she had for a solid eighteen years now misunderstood the meanings inherent in the words 'horrible', 'hideous', 'monstrous' and so on. And yet she could not help but want to apologize for having offended her new friend.<br/><br/>""Oh. Did I say 'fleeing'? I meant 'fighting fiercely with our backs to the enemy while also moving quickly away to confuse them into<i>thinking</i>we were fleeing, but really, we were just very confident'. Or you were, anyway. And I -- ""<br/><br/>Whatever she'd been about to add -- and even Ivy wasn't sure -- was lost in Jötz unexpected breakdown. For a moment, Ivy could only stare. In the last...well, how long had it been? It felt like ten minutes and ten years simultaneously, though, logically, Ivy had to guess it was more like a day, maybe a little less. Still, the idea that Jötz had saved her life at least thrice over was not exaggeration. Together, they had faced down an angry mob, the tail end of a homicidal firewood oven, a wild fire, a deadly swamp, and a horde of poisonous toads (though that last part, Ivy was certain, had been to their benefit. Jötz just didn't know that yet). And while they may have been doing a good deal of that backward-fighting-while-moving-away, Jötz hadn't really shown fear, or even very much distress.<br/><br/>But then they'd fallen into a hole, and now he was near beside himself. Maybe he was claustrophobic? Or afraid of the dark?<br/><br/>She felt almost bad for him as he curled up against the wall, stepping closer, wanting to help. He'd said something about a hat -- but surely this couldn't be over a dusty bowler? It hadn't even been all that<i>nice</i>of a hat, though Ivy didn't think it wise to mention that last bit.<br/><br/>Still. He'd saved her life. She was pretty sure she owed him, even if he was a Jaeger. After all, she was a Spark now. Outcasts and underdogs and all that.<br/><br/>She put her back to the wall and slid down beside him before awkwardly putting out a hand to pat his knee, the way she'd seen mothers comfort their children. It had never really been the sort of thing she and Mama Petra would do -- Mama Petra had not patience for tears and petulance -- but it seemed the sort of thing one ought to try first.<br/><br/>Now, what was she meant to say?<br/><br/>""Um....oh! Here, here,"" she muttered quietly. ""I'm sure...you're very good at...erm...killing people. You killed all those toads back there, and some of them were big as people! There was a lady back in Motorhum who looked just like that big one when she got angry with me -- uh...I mean, with the other village children for setting her goldfish on fire...or something like that. I don't know, I don't remember, I wasn't there,"" she added quickly, blushing.<br/><br/>""Anyway, the point is, it was a very nice hat, and I'm sure we can find another very nice one for you. And then you can...kill...um...all the people you like. Alright? Cheer up.""<br/><br/>There was a very long, awkward silence, during which Ivy contemplated trying to sing to Jötz, before deciding none of the songs she knew seemed appropriate for the situation, as most of them were about the dangers of trusting strange Jaegers, or leaving the village.<br/><br/>Instead, Ivy reached a gore covered hand very carefully into her apron and pulled out a bloodied fist.<br/><br/>""Do you want to see what I got from those toads?"""

Then again, how was she to know the importance of a Jaeger's hat? It conveyed status! Style! Station! The headgear of the Jaegers were trophies taken in battle, indicators not only of how important their foes were but of how good of a warrior each individual jaeger was. More importantly, behind each hat was a story. For a Jaeger, even those in the Baron's service, a hat was more than just something to keep the head warm and dry. And now here he had gone and lost his. Jötz knew he that perhaps he was not the greatest of the Jaegers, but he had earned his hat, dammit! To have gone and lost it...<br/><br/>He pouted where he sat against the wall, elbows resting on his knees as he brooded. Ivy was saying something again, something about what she got from the toads. He sniffed. ""Iz it a hat?"" he moped out loud.<br/><br/>Reluctantly, he rolled up onto his knees to get closer to her. It wasn't the girl's fault, he knew, so there was no point in being unpleasant to her despite his bad mood. Besides, while whatever she had in her hand couldn't have the promise of killing anyone in the immediate here and now, it was something covered in blood and gore. Therefore it couldn't be all bad. Not to mention that she had killed several of the toads creatures on her own, and in his mind it would be cruel to not allow her both the pride of kills and a trophy of some sort. After all, it was the duty to encourage the younger generations. Ivy's find had a curious smell to it as well, something that was vaguely familiar without being definite. His furry green brow furrowed, and his eyes squinted in the gloom to try and focus on her prize. His petulance was pushed aside for the moment to allow for curiosity.<br/><br/>""Zo what chou got dere?"""

She really, really,<i>really</i>wanted to show him what she'd found. All things considered, she thought she'd been pretty patient, since the only reason she hadn't made him stop and admire her handiwork back on solid ground had been because he'd given her his gun instead (green eyes flicked hopefully to the sidearm for a moment before she remembered she was trying to be supportive).<br/><br/>But if Mama Petra had been here, she'd have smacked Ivy for not offering to do something about the whole hat thing sooner. It was clear Jötz was still upset, and she really did owe him a handful of favors at this point. She decided to compromise by keeping a look out for anything even remotely hat shaped. She was sure she could figure out the rest from there.<br/><br/>Besides, Mama Petra would have smacked the Jaegar, too, because she had no patience for pouting. Or Jaegars. But pouting was definitely the greater of two evils.<br/><br/>That decided, Ivy sidled close, grinning. Any caution about the teeth, claws, and strength her new companion had over her had fled around the second or third time he'd saved her life. Also, she found a cool thing, and she wanted him to see.<br/><br/>Flushed with excitement, Ivy held a gore-covered fist beneath Jôtz's nose, then slowly unfolded her fingers.<br/><br/>In the center of a palm obscured with all matter of a lumpy blackish-blue-green substance was a thick curved tooth, smeared with a thin coating of gray-green stickiness. Even so, it appeared to almost glow in the dim light that shone through the hole they'd fallen in. It was a little longer than Ivy's thumb and about twice as thick, ending in a gleaming point that rested between her thumb and forefinger. The other end was splintered and broken, as if the tooth or bone had been hacked and chipped away.<br/><br/>Ivy stared at her treasure with an expression one might expect to see on the face of a new mother, if that new mother was also slightly manic. She reached out another finger and gently drew it along the curve of the stout tooth before looking to Jötz for his reaction.<br/><br/>""Isn't it beautiful?"" she said adoringly. ""I got it from one of the little ones when that tree fell."" She frowned a little. ""I think I could have gotten more, but that big one didn't like us very much.""<br/><br/>She stared at it again before shifting to sit so she was cross legged, all but leaned up against Jötz and completely, pleasantly oblivious. She carefully set the tooth in her lap, cradled between her legs in the quickly putrefying fabric of her apron. Absently, she wiped gore cover hands on her leggings.<br/><br/>It was a long moment before she realized her left hand was doing a funny combination of itching and smarting. She stared curiously at the hand, still a little smudged with blood and gore, before spitting into her palm and cleaning it again.<br/><br/>A look of excitement and alarm crossed her face and for a moment, the tooth was forgotten as she drew gentle fingers over her palm. She drew her hand close to her face, squinting through the dark, then nodded once.<br/><br/>""Huh.""<br/><br/>She looked at Jötz, carefully neutral.<br/><br/>""When I was building my ÜberOven, I cut my hand on...something. I dunno, I get hurt on a lot of things."" She stared at her palm a moment long, then held it up for further inspection by the Jaeger. ""I think those things are poisonous.""<br/><br/>The two-inch gash had been obscured by the growth of a thick, bluish flesh, cool and rubbery to the touch, with a number of small wart-like bumps forming on and under the new skin. The blue had grown outward from the center of her palm to the edges of her hand to begin to wrap around back and creep up her fingers. Ivy waited for Jötz to take his turn, then went back to studying her hand herself by prodding with an unblemished finger.<br/><br/>""It itches,"" she observed.<br/><br/>Then, suddenly her face brightened and she looked at Jötz as gleefully as thought someone had offered her a puppy on Christmas morning.<br/><br/>""<i>Do you think the tooth will fit in the gun?</i>"""

He could<i>see[//i] the blue bumpy flesh advancing millimeter by millimeter around her hand, a thick webbing edging out from between her fingers to connect them. More worrying was that her nails was turning the same black-brown color as the claw! <br/><br/>Clinically, Jötz realized why the townsfolk hadn't drained this swamp for their own use; anyone who tried got converted into one of the blue toad creatures that had attacked them. It was a great idea for a defensive army, he approved mentally; attackers would be forced to come to them, their wounded quickly turning against them as they joined the toads. No need for recruiting, no need to build clanks. And judging about how easily the toads had died, keeping the force the right size probably hadn't been too much of a concern. No, the real concern would be what would happen of the defending monsters started attacking allies... not to mention, the people they were supposed to be defending! Which... was probably what happened. The toads were wildfire weapons, wonderfully designed but improperly applied.<br/><br/>Emotionally, all of these acute and detailed observations were shunted to the back of Jötz's mind as he stared at the creeping blue flesh with horror. There was no time for rational explanations. The girl he had just saved, twice now, was in danger again and [i]she didn't seem to realize it!</i>Was she that sheltered?? Or had the Madness taken her so completely as to be unaware of anything but the scientific splendor of it all?? This young woman was going to bear watching, he realized, before she got into real trouble! Better still... she might cause some real trouble that he could at least take part in later on! And that was when it dawned on him that while Ivy was not a Heterodyne, she acted enough like one to fill a small aching part of his twisted soul.<br/><br/>He did not ask permission. His ape-like hand with its impossibly long fingers reached out to grab her wrist and pin it tightly to the stone floor at their feet. The other hand drew the heavy scramaseax knife with its one chopping edge, the blade kissing her skiing just below the elbow. A thin trickle of blood, bright and red instead of blue and dark, appeared. Jötz breathed a slight sigh of relief. The infection or whatever it was had not traveled far, although he did not doubt that it would take too much longer. Looking up into her eyes, he gritted his teeth.<br/><br/>""Dis is gonna hurt, Miss Ivy.""<br/><br/>The knife flashed so quickly that for several seconds there was no blood or pain as it several her arm below the elbow."

She didn't object, or even seem to notice when Jötz grabbed her wrist, having completely skipped over the eagerly hopeful reaction she'd been anticipating. One moment, she was sitting cross-legged, inspecting her grisly prize from all angles, and the next she was on her back, still inspecting her prize, none the wiser, all without ever realizing she was about to say a very quick goodbye to a very critical body part for a very permanent time.<br/><br/>It was the pinprick of pain that finally drew her attention elsewhere, without quite breaking her free from Sparking. Impatient, annoyed, she looked to her arm, scowling at the thin, bright line of blood there before switching her green-eyed gaze to the Jaeger.<br/><br/>""What are you doing?"" she demanded imperiously. ""I -- "" And then she seemed to focus on the blade in his hand, and her mind snapped abruptly back into place. The irritation in her face became fear and confusion at once and she began to pull away.<br/><br/>""Wait,"" she said, half pleading, half questioning. ""<i>What's</i>gonna hurt? Are you -- ?""<br/><br/>And then he did.<br/><br/>Time seemed to slow down, her heart beat rolling to a stop, her eyes never once leaving Jötz's, though they grew wide as saucers in her increasingly pale face.<br/><br/>""Um..."" she began meekly, almost politely. ""Did...did you...?""<br/><br/>The pain came before she could finish the question. It came like a speeding train, like a great wave bowling her over. There was nothing, and then there was everything, and the everything was entirely too much for her mind to handle, because it seemed to short in that moment, giving her pain not in physical feelings, but in flashing colors and lights.<br/><br/><i>FLASH!</i><br/><br/>Everything ricocheted back into hyper speed as Ivy began to realize what had just happened. She could feel her heart begin to race, could hear her breathing picking up in her ears. She blinked dumbly and tried to sit up.<br/><br/><i>FLASH!</i><br/><br/>The searing light -- red? yellow? -- was accompanied by a scream this time, and then another, the first a stunned yelp of surprise, the second one of fear, appearing to swell as though she stood at the bottom of a vast abyss and someone was falling toward her, quickly.<br/><br/><i>FLASH!</i><br/><br/>Something bad was happening, and Ivy had to leave. She had to get away, run away, even though she wasn't sure how or to where or from whom. She tried to get her feet underneath her and failed, succeeding only in stumbling to once side. Her back found a wall and she leaned against it for support.<br/><br/><i>FLASH!</i><br/><br/>It was getting harder to think, if that's what the chaos tumbling through her mind could be called. Her head felt heavy, her eyelids felt heavy. Her face felt hot, and the rest of her felt cold. Except her left side, her arm. That just felt --<br/><br/><i>FLASH!</i><br/><br/>She was going to pass out. She was pretty sure she was going to pass out. She felt sick and dizzy and slow, and she was breathing too quickly and there were great big colorful spots in her vision, slowly blocking out what she could see.<br/><br/>Her eyes scanned the growing darkness for a way out, any way out, and instead found the Jaeger. What was his name? Jaegar...Jaeger...Jaeger...<br/><br/>She threw up and started to draw a hand across her mouth, and couldn't, and screamed again. In the back of her mind, something kept trying to kick into gear, Sparking fruitlessly against the<i>FLASH!</i>that had taken over.<br/><br/>Her eyes, half lidded now, caught on something in the darkness, a pale, cold still thing, so small against the shrinking black. She counted four fingers, a thumb, a few inches of arm...<br/><br/>The next<i>FLASH</i>that came was duller, colder. The black was taking over, coming over even the pain, and she didn't mind in the slightest. She wavered fell back against the wall, struggled to stay upright.<br/><br/>Finally, she looked down to where her hand had been and froze. The flashes stopped. If she was still screaming, she couldn't hear herself. Ivy blinked once and nodded, as if she had expected this. A small frown of disappointment crossed her face.<br/><br/>""But I'm left-handed,"" she protested quietly, much the way a very young and overtired child might insist they could stay up another hour past bedtime. And then the encroaching darkness became complete, sealing itself shut over her eyes as Ivy slumped, unconscious, to the floor."

The heavy knife chopped down to neatly slice through muscle and bone to make a clean amputation, yet while leaving enough of a flap of skin on one side to later help clove over the exposed bone. There was no time for reflection or self-recrimination. Later on, Jötz would mentally debate in anguish on whether or not there was anything else he could have done at that point: Ivy had seemed oblivious to the danger, they were trapped in some forgotten room of some forgotten town or city, there was nothing even remotely resembling an antidote about, and the metamorphosis had been progressing so fast that waiting until they could seek help was out of the question. Yet when she whimpered that she was left handed, Jötz closed his eyes and swore in every language he knew plus some he wasn't so sure on.<br/><br/>There was no time to dwell on it now, though. Ivy was losing blood rapidly, her already pale face growing whiter as she slipped into unconsciousness. With a deft motion, Jötz whipped off his belt to lash a tourniquet just below her elbow and above the truncated arm. A warrior by choice as well as design, the monster had an excellent gasp of battlefield medicine. He also had a few supplies for just such an emergency. The blood made the floor about her slick and warm, an annoying distraction as he fumbled through his kit for what he needed: a large needle, a small ball of sinew twine, and a clear vial containing a vivid green powder. This last he sprinkled liberally across the wound. The medicine would provide a sealant for the amputation, keeping it clean of infection while helping the flesh to knit close in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks. Once applied, the remaining flap of skin was sutured over the stump. When all was done and Meddleson's Miraculous Medical Powder had done its job, the stump where Ivy's lower arm once was would be healed without pain or agony... although there was the side effect that her eyes would glow purple for a day or so, but you couldn't have everything.<br/><br/>Having done everything he could, Jötz picked her up and wrapped her in his cloak to keep her warm. The bedroll off of his pack made an impromptu pillow for her head. An examination found her breathing shallow but steady, and the color slowly ebbed back into her cheeks. Finally he sat back and stared at the severed limb while he took stock of the situation. It looked as though he had acted just in time. The rubbery azure flesh had reached well past the left wrist, turning her delicate hand into an amphibian's claw. Oddly enough, there was no shrinkage. Considering the size of the creatures, he thought there would have been. Unless of coarse Ivy had been about to transmogrify into another of the big ones. A queen perhaps? Had the big one once been a Spark as well, maybe even the one responsible for all of this? He shook his head grumpily. There was no use on dwelling on it now.<br/><br/>Jötz finally stood and carried the severed limb out of sight, kicking dust and debris over the pool of blood that splattered across the ancient stone floor. Confident she was out cold but stable, he stripped the sticky and soaked clothing from off his furry body and discarded it in the direction of the arm after ripping off the buttons and anything else of use or of value. His second and only other set of clothes were not quite as rugged. The Jaeger could only hope they would hold up during the long journey to the nearest town. Brown woolen pants with leather patches at the knees, an off-white shirt that looked as if it belonged more on a poet than a green furred creature of destruction and a knee length vest of dark forest green. It was a fashion several decades out of date. Then again, he hadn't needed them in some time.<br/><br/>Dressed in clean clothes, he sat back down besides Ivy. There was going to be shouting later, he knew. The girl was going to be upset with him, he was positive, and he hated the thought of it for some reason. It bothered him that she might be angry with him, and he did't quite know why. With a sigh, he took up her right hand and held it while he closed his eyes and did something he had not done in quite some time. He slept."

Dahlia and Logan would have gone to feed the hens, then, and Rosie would be watching Briar and Lily. She could get in a few more minutes of sleep, at least. Enough to shake the pounding in her head, and the strange, pervasive weakness, making her feel lethargic before she'd even truly woken.<br/><br/>She started to roll over, to duck her face beneath the sheets -- they felt scratchier than normal this morning -- and stopped.<br/><br/>Something was touching her hand. Something furry.<br/><br/>Ivy let out a groan, knowing, even before she opened her eyes, Aspen had secreted away another stray puppy who'd somehow found his adorable way into her bed, and somehow, it was going to be Ivy's fault.<br/><br/>""Aspen,"" Ivy muttered as she through and arm over her eyes. ""You better not have -- ""<br/><br/>Something was wrong. Something very, very big, was very,<i>very</i>wrong.<br/><br/>Ivy opened her eyes, heart already racing, and couldn't immediately place what it was.<br/><br/>Oh, there were several<i>little</i>things. The air reeked of iron and rust. Sunlight streamed through a hole in the ceiling, revealing a room that was nothing like the bedroom she shared with her sisters back home. She felt weak, shaky, almost cold. Her head ached. Her blanket was a blanket, but an old, unfamiliar cloak.<br/><br/>It wasn't until her eyes fell on the Jaeger sleeping beside her that Ivy remembered.<br/><br/>The ÜberOven. The fire. The townsfolk chasing her away from her home. The swamp. The toads. The queen.<br/><br/>Ivy was shaking now, color leeching from her skin as she began to hyperventilate.<br/><br/>""Oh, no,"" she whimpered. ""Oh, no, no, no, no, no...""<br/><br/>Flash of last night kept streaming through, overwhelming her, and yet there was nothing she could do to stop it.<br/><br/>The toads had found them, and they'd fought, she and Jötz, her Jaeger, her<i>friend</i>and savior. He'd been upset over something silly -- a hat? -- and she'd tried to make him feel better. She'd showed him a handful of gore, and...<br/><br/>Ivy knew then what was wrong. She knew it was real, and not a dream, and yet she couldn't look down, because there was a crippling, horrible certainty if she did that, she might go insane, and that would be bad.<br/><br/>She shut her eyes and flexed her left hand.<br/><br/>She could feel it there, couldn't she? Could feel her fingers open and close? There was no pain, no fever, no haze of delirium? And how was that possible if what she thought had happened had actually happened?<br/><br/>No. No, it must have been a dream, some horrible nightmare caught in a web of dark reality. Jötz had saved her life two, three times already. Why would he hurt her? He wouldn't. He hadn't.<br/><br/>Ivy sat there, frozen, her heart rate slowly returning to normal as she assured herself all was well. She was a Spark, sure, hunted by family and friends, lost in the wastelands that had thrice tried to kill her. But not<i>all</i>was lost. She felt weak from hunger, her head ached from dehydration. Not blood loss. Not fear.<br/><br/>She was almost smiling when at last she opened her eyes and held up her left arm for inspection, already flexing the fingers she knew would be there.<br/><br/>They weren't.<br/><br/>Ivy screamed and bucked to her feet, dropping Jötz hand like it burned.<br/><br/>She backed away, her arm held out as though she didn't trust it. Her eyes were wide, focused on his face.<br/><br/>""<i>What did you do?</i>"" she demanded, her voice half shriek, half whimper. ""<i><b>What did you do to me?!?</b></i>""<br/><br/>She stared, as if she expected an answer, feeling dizzy again, feeling her vision close in at the edges. But she refused to pass out. Not here. She had done that once before and woken sans arm.<br/><br/>She glared at the Jaeger, her gaze equal parts accusatory and hurt, betrayed. ""<i>Why?</i>"" she managed, and only then realized she was crying. She shook her head, furious.<br/><br/>""Go<i>away</i>! I hate you! I<i>hate</i>you!""<br/><br/>She backed away from him until she hit a wall, then briefly peered up through the hole they'd made crashing through the ground yesterday. She could get up there, she thought. She could climb out, maybe, and run away. She didn't know where she was, or how to get home, or anywhere, but her chances were better out there, alone. Mama Petra had always told her she'd been too naive for her own good. ""You'd trust anything with a smile,"" she'd said. ""Always forgetting a shark always smiles before the kill.""<br/><br/>Mama Petra had been right. Of course she had.<br/><br/>Mama Petra was always right."

He yawned widely, his length of his fangs and the size of his maw made all the more apparent by the reflex as he stretched. Screaming. It dawned on him that he should be concerned about that. That made him grumpy. Jaegers should be causing screaming, not waking up to it. Calmly he scratched his ass where he sat, then went to automatically to adjust his hat... which wasn't there. Oh, yes. He remembered now. The attack of the toads, the loss of his hat, the severing of Ivy's arm... It had been a rough night, and the latter suggested it was going to be a tougher morning!<br/><br/>Leaning against the ruined wall, he watched calmly with a look of annoyance as Ivy yelled and cursed at him, condemned him with her glances and fear as she tried to get as far away from him as possible. In his experience, it was best just to let her get it out of her system. Still... her ravings did more than annoy him. There was actually a pang in his heart at the sight of her crying and afraid. It wasn't even the fear itself that bothered him, but the knowledge that Ivy's fear was of him.<br/><br/>""Ja, sorry 'bout dat, Mizz Ivy,"" he yawned again casually. He kept his tone nonchalant, relaxed, despite the ache in his chest to see her so distressed. ""Chou vast in der Mad place und it vasn't a good idea to vait too long. Made a pretty goot job of eet, I'm tinking. Didn't think chou vould vant a diet oft flies fur da rest of chou life. Eet's over der, iff'n chou vants to take a look."" Jötz waved vaguely in the direction of the severed limb, heavily covered in the thick blue rubbery skins and warts. Keeping his relaxed demeanor, the Jaeger stood and stretched, and the sound of numerous joints and bones and tendons cracking back into place filled the air. ""Ve'll need to get chou some clean clothes, I'm tinking. Amputations ist kinda messy.""<br/><br/>He looked about the floor to see if his hat had revealed itself yet in the morning light, the frown on his face clear as he realized that wherever his headgear had gone, it was beyond his reach. Kneeling to gather up the cloak and the rest of the gear back into his back, Jötz kept talking as though nothing major was wrong. ""Ve get chou to Beetleburg. Dey can make chou new arm der. Or... hey, maybe ve go to Mechanicsburg! I bets dey can grow you new one! Vorse comes to vorse? Ve find resurrection men somevhere on da road. Dey usually gots spare parts cheap."""

She could still feel her shoulders trembling against the wall of the room they'd crashed into the night before. She could still feel her heart pounding, her ears buzzing with shock. If anything, his complete and total lack of regret or anything like it only infuriated her more. But it felt...gaudy, dramatic to be so angry while he was so calm. She had a brief, bizarre flashback of the night before, an instant of clarity in the chaos -- his resentment toward her at not understanding his grief over the missing hat. Was this how he felt? Was that what it was to be a Jaegar? To be so attached to a hat, that losing it was like losing a limb?<br/><br/>She wasn't feeling especially sympathetic.<br/><br/>And yet...by the light of day, his words and actions held more merit. She vaguely recalled being excited over her discovery of the apparently venomous toad's tooth -- a quick scan found it amid the soppy pile of rust-colored rags that had once been Mama Petra's apron -- and then her excitement over discovering the change. From here, though, she could see it was perhaps not so wonderful as she'd thought. If Jötz was telling the truth, he might have saved her a grisly, if not slimy, demise. And she'd be lying to say her fever dreams hadn't included half a dozen ideas for new and improved limbs, though nothing seemed quite as appetizing now that she was on her feet.<br/><br/>Still. Life saving actions or no, he had taken only an instant and left her without a hand. it should not have surprised her. In fact, this was the only thing she'd ever known of Jaegers that had so far turned out to be true. But somehow, she had been. Perhaps she was only ashamed of her own naiveté.<br/><br/>""I can handle it myself,"" she said hoarsely, and though she was no longer screaming, her voice was cold. But she peeled herself off the wall, anyway, her entire body tensed to run if it came to that. She crept forward, without ever once taking her eyes off him, and folded her bloodied apron into her arms. Arm. It was more difficult than she might have thought, and the realization made tears of anger and fear burn her eyes. She blinked them back. If the Jaegar was going to be cavalier about his grotesque actions, then so would she.<br/><br/>She straightened again when at last she'd managed to tuck the bundle under one arm. Tying it around her waist again was out of the question. She regarded Jötz coolly, trying to keep her expression frank.<br/><br/>""I think we should separate immediately. Er...once we get out of this hole. And then immediately after that."""

Chust valtz avay like noth-ink ist wrong, eh?”<br/><br/>The explosion that followed was ferocious, filled with fangs and fury and utter incomprehension. The Jaeger simply could not keep up his callous attitude, not when it could drive her away and into almost certain doom out upon the Wastes. “Chou gonna get kilt out der! Look, I ist sorry about chou arm, da first limb ist alvays de hardest, but vhat did chou dink I vas gonna do?! Maybe chou vant to be blue und bumpy und eating flies?? I did vat I had to to keeps chou alive, Miss Ivy. Dat’s vat minions do.”<br/><br/>Suddenly he froze. A pained expression crossed his face as he realized what he had just said. Closing his eyes, Jötz tried to gather his resolve and accept what he had just said as most likely being true. It wouldn’t be so bad, he reluctantly decided to himself; the other Jaeger were still sworn to House Heterodyne but served Wulfenbach until such time as a Heterodyne heir appeared. Why not do the same for this new Spark? He could travel with her, still stay true to his mission (which was rather ambiguous anyway), and if a Heterodyne showed up…<br/><br/>Opening his eyes again and taking a deep breath, he let it out slowly. “Und I guess I is chou minion now, Miss Ivy. Sparks need minions fur more dan chust experiments und digging up da bodies. Minions look after all da schtuff Sparks is forgetting, like feeding da nine hundred pound bunny rabbit dey made last month. Chou ist a Spark vitout a minion, und vitout one chou ist gonna end up in vorst trouble. Believe me, I knows!”<br/><br/>“So,” he pronounced with a great deal of self imposed calm, “I make chou a deal. No more hacky-hacky oft da limbs vitout you saying okay-dokay, I get chou safe und sound to next town. Den if chou still vant, ve can part vays der.”<br/><br/>Jötz truly hoped she agreed to his proposal. It wasn’t just that he felt bad for having to sever her arm, nor was it fear of what might happen to her out upon the Wastes, although the latter was definitely a factor. The girl was naive enough that she would probably try to walk through a field of sward grass or sleep in the den of Barrow Haunt; without a guide, she wouldn’t last long at all, Spark or no. But it was the strange feeling of affection he had for the human girl. She was pretty, oh no doubt about that, but it wasn’t anything truly lustful that drove his concerns. There were dim memories he had of his days before becoming a Jaeger, something he couldn’t quite put his finger on…"

Like any<i>sane</i>person would. Even a Spark.<br/><br/>Possibly a Spark.<br/><br/>But then...when had Spark's ever been considered sane?<br/><br/>The possibility that he might be right, no matter how strange and confusing his words, that they might be fated together forever more, two dangerous, uncanny outcasts doomed to wander the Wastes forever, taming danger and losing limbs...it unnerved her, yes. But it didn't<i>frighten</i>her, or not nearly as much as it ought to have. And it ought to have. Two days ago, she'd been a girl in a small town with a penchant for daydreaming and fixing her father's watches. And now she was a Spark being hunted by family and friends, limbless and lost with no plans and no maps and no inklings of where she ought to go next.<br/><br/>Though...Mechanicsburg sounded intriguing. Her apron was running low, and she certainly did not intend to stay long without her only operational hand.<br/><br/>She realized she was staring, dazed, at the Jaeger, and abruptly looked down to a shorn off arm that was a little less shocking every time. And wouldn't it be something if she could just<i>carry</i>the apron with her? Not literally, of course -- though there would be an attachment for that, too, just in case -- but a sort of never-ending tool kit she could have with her for any such occasion. She would need extra fingers, too, and something more durable than flesh, lighter than bone...she would be able to move faster that way, and in the future, protect against further Jaeger attacks. She would need a weapon, then, she could worked out whatever processes had made the ÜberOven quite so....well, frankly, it had been perfect, its only<i>real</i>flaw that it hadn't followed her out here, though now she was thinking some sort of cloaking device might make all the --<br/><br/>""What?""<br/><br/>Her head snapped up and her eyes cleared as Jötz began speaking again. She realized once more she was standing closer than she'd intended, given that he<i>had</i>cut off her arm without so much as blinking an eye. Even if he did seem somewhat apologetic. Even if she<i>had</i>maybe been a little bit worried by his outburst, and not in the way she might have guessed. Even if she did sort of understand, and now didn't have to go through the trouble of trying to remove her own inferior limb. In fact, she'd been thinking she could get around faster if she didn't have such boring<i>feet</i>--<br/><br/>""Yes. Okay. Fine,"" she blurted. ""We'll go to the next town, sure. But only because you know the way. And none of this...<i>minion</i>stuff."" She made a face. ""Don't be weird. Let's just go, okay?"""

He wasn't sure exactly how much she had absorbed of what he had been saying, if anything, although it was clear Ivy had at least gotten the general gist. Jaegers generally weren't classified by society as minion material, but it was clear that she was going to need<i>someone</i>to serve as a substitute until other arrangements could be made. It did give him some encouragement that she had moved closer towards him. There was a slight flutter in his reconstructed heart at her proximately, but he told himself it was only the desire for self-preservation flinching at how close the Spark was to him.<br/><br/>How much longer, he wondered, before he woke up to find her experimenting on him?<br/><br/>""Goot."" Jötz nodded as though unsure as to what he had exactly agreed with. ""Goot. Den lets find a vay out of here, eh? Ja.""<br/><br/>The Jaeger began to explore their surroundings, examining the walls and looking for exits. Going back up was out of the question; not only was it just a few feet too far, the edges of the hole they had plunged through looked unstable and crumbling. Trying to grab the lip of the sinkhole would just result in another fall with more debris falling on top of them. There was, however, a passage in the most shadowed of the corners. It lead downwards into the underground heart of the swamp and yet remained curiously dry! Jötz could spy no ornamentation on the walls, no decoration of any kind, and so could only conclude that wherever they were it had once served a more utilitarian purpose. He looked back into the large room they had fallen into. A store room or warehouse of some sort, one left empty? Another passage way that looked as though it, too, might slope off into the depths was on the far side of the chamber, but time and gravity had collapsed it. So only one viable way of escape.<br/><br/>Jötz walked back towards Ivy, gesturing back over his shoulder at the hallway. ""Zo, only vun vay, Mizz Ivy. Down der. Can't see much mit out a light or zometing, but I can smell vater down der. Fresh water, running, like a stream or zome such."" He shook his furry head, fangs in a frown. ""Never seen anyting like dis, doh. Not outsides of a city! Der ist heavy scratch marks on da floor, like dey dragged heavy tings tru here. Maybe... maybe zome kind of docks?""<br/><br/>He hesitated for a moment, before surrendering to the inevitable. They would need to see down there, the darkness so thick that even his Jaeger sight would be useless. ""Zo... got a light?"""

But, of course, she wasn't. No, things had changed quickly, and now her only companion was this Jaeger for whom she'd been so mysteriously concerned just a few moments ago.<br/><br/>And, she supposed, the warty stump of an arm in one corner of the room. She was still vacillating between screaming and taking it with her for future examination, and it took her another long moment to realize Jötz was speaking to her again.<br/><br/>""Hm?"" she said, distracted, until she remembered she was supposed to be angry, or at least wary, and made herself snap back to attention. ""What? Oh. A light. Uh...sure, hang on.""<br/><br/>How long had she been away from home? Two days? Three? And already she was reverting to the Spark like it was second nature...though she supposed, at least abstractly, it rather was, and had been for some time. Years, maybe. And it was only now at eighteen she was able to make anything of it.<br/><br/>She folded into herself, still feeling weary and uncertain as she awkwardly draped her blood-stained apron across her knees, already frustrated that she was one hand, and several items short. She felt something spark against her temper and briefly glared up at the Jaeger, still searching, one-handed, through the pockets for anything she could use.<br/><br/>Her fingers found a few small, chalky orbs, a smile spread across her face as she withdrew a small handful of her absolute favorite confections. In Motorhum, even Spark wares deemed 'mostly harmless' were essentially contraband. But it never stopped the tinkerers who occasionally happened through (and then were subsequently chased out of) town from selling to interested parties. And once a month, Ivy found herself spending her meager allowance on Professor Durwick's Delightful After-Dinner Mints, which had the added benefit of sparking when you chewed them in the dark. Also, when you chewed them anywhere, dropped them on the floor, and sometimes spontaneously combusted in a shower of minty freshness.<br/><br/>Grinning, Ivy popped a mint into her mouth. The arm, the Jaeger, the trauma was forgotten, and a few moments later, she was muttering, almost singing to herself.<br/><br/>A few moments after that, she was struggling to her feet, apron tucked under her bad arm, holding out a contraption made primarily of wires, springs, and after-dinner mints. It exuded a faint, blueish glow that flickered like clockwork every thirty seconds.<br/><br/>""We should hurry,"" she said reverently, staring at the thing like one might a child. ""It'll explode soon. But we'll have more light to see by, and it will smell like spearmint when it does."""

Vhatever chou say.” Jötz was unsure which was more unsettling, the ticking contraption that gave them enough life to see by and smelling like toothpaste that would probably explode if they dropped it… or the way Ivy’s teeth now glowed with a similar light eerily in the darkness. He had heard about certain breath mints causing sparks when people bit into them. He had not, however, ever heard of the entire mouth sparking even after the mint was eaten!<br/><br/>Deciding to ignore her sparking mouth (which faded after a few moments), he led the way down the ramp and into the wet darkness. He wanted to keep the Spark behind him so that if she fell or slipped he might catch her up; he only needed the ambient light of her device to see in the gloom, not the full glare. Not that there was much to see. The sloping passageway was bland and completely utilitarian, nothing to bring on a sense of fear or danger at all!<br/><br/>“Must not have been made by a Spark,” he muttered.<br/><br/>At the bottom of the incline, the pair were discovered a large underground tunnel through which murky water flowed thickly. The ceiling was arched and made of crumbling brick, just as was the walkway onto which they stepped. The smell wasn’t as stagnant as the swamp as the water did move even if sluggishly. It resembled nothing so much as riverside dock, with a wide stone platform that jutted slightly into the currents from the walkway. The walkway extended off in either direction along the wall closest to them - a towpath.<br/><br/>Jötz gaped as he looked about at the construction, the design, the possible purposes. “Canallers,” he breathed in hushed awe. “Dis… Dis must be one oft da Great Canals I vas telling you about earlier MIzz Ivy! If’n ve follow de vater, ve stands a chance oft finding another city.” He looked back over his shoulder up the passageway. “Und maybe less toads!”<br/><br/>He looked about again but not finding what he sought, the Jaeger shook his head. “I dont see any barges or boats. But maybe ve can just take the towpath for now? If’n its blocked later on, ve can always turn around.” Jötz stuck a hand into one of his pouches and pulled out a fist full of pork jerky. “Chou eat up, though, eh? As ve valk. Right nows chou needs da energy and yummy goodness, I’m tinking.”"

She was just a little sad the mints were all gone, though she was mostly confident she could find another batch at the next town they stopped at -- assuming there really was a next town -- and probably cheaper than she'd bought them back home.<br/><br/>The thought of home gave her another dull ache somewhere deep in her belly, just long enough to draw her attention from the roughly lightbulb-shaped device in her hand, down to her other hand, or rather, to the empty space where it had been. She frowned through the darkness at it, lifting her stump -- it really<i>had</i>been a clean cut, which was good, because that would make future augmentations much easier. She'd always felt five had been rather too few fingers, anyway.<br/><br/>Jötz stopped walking so abruptly -- or else her mind had wandered further than she'd realized -- Ivy had nearly run into his back before she realized he wasn't moving anymore, having paused to gape at what appeared to be a series of underwater channels. Intrigued, she stepped around him, mostly bare toes at the edge of the stone platform to lean as far out over the water as she could manage, squinting down the tunnel in each direction before turning back to her Jaeger companion.<br/><br/>She hadn't realized she was hungry until her offered her the dried meat, and by the time she realized what it was, her stomach was growling too loudly to politely decline. So, she took the offering with a small, if grateful, smile, gnawing quietly on the strips of meat as they walked, trying to remember what Jötz had told her about the canals. She was almost positive it hadn't all been positive."

The only sounds other than their own footfalls were the dripping of water and the occasional splash as some aquatic creature jumped out of the flowing currents to fall back into them again. Every now and then, a cobblestone from the path was shaken loose by the pair’s passing to tumble with a plonking sound into the canal.<br/><br/>“Eet is like I vas telling you, Miss Ivy,” Jötz whispered as they crept downstream, “I tink dis ist one oft da Great Canals!” And as they went on, the Jaeger continued his tale from before. He told her of the Bargefolk and the canals that connected the world together, how every material good and coin must have passed along their waters at some point as everything was moved by their methods and traditions. Even the Storm King used their services to move his armies and their supplies! The Bargefolk, or Canallers, however, recognized no king or emperor, and instead danced on the edge of the world in their freedom. Their barges were brightly colored affairs that spoke of their love of life and all it had to offer.<br/><br/>But the powers that were didn’t like being ignored and were furious that the Canallers refused to recognize their authority. Wicked rumors spread like wide fire. Bargefolk were denied entry into some larger cities and towns. Goods were confiscated. And then, one day in a place called Bad Schuschen, a Canaller girl was assaulted…<br/>After that, the Canallers disappeared. Their barges vanished, and the canals they had sailed upon were left untended to fill up with silt and become impassible until they reached the point where they vanished altogether over the generations. Most folks forgot about them completely. And in the absence of these free spirited travelers there arose a group of monks to take their place: the Corbettite Order.<br/><br/>Jötz looked about in wonder as they continued on, the dock left far behind them as he told his tale. “But dey say dat sometimes a body falls into a place like dis, some underground hole mit cater running try it. Und dat if chou listens, chou can still hear da bells und whistles und singing oft da Canallers living under da ground. Und if’n chou is not careful, da Canallers vill snatch chou avay to live mit dem under da hills!”<br/><br/>Peering ahead, Jötz thought he could see a wide opening in the tow path. Not quite like the doc they had left, but certainly some sort of larger area. “Vait, vait,” he whispered. “Ist dat… ist dat a boat??”<br/><br/>Certainly something lay in the chamber up ahead! Something large that was made of rusted metal and ancient wood, with tall twin cylinders that arose from its middle into the air. How long it had remained there tied at its berth was unknowable, but there remained one important fact.<br/><br/>It still floated."

She could just see in the murky darkness of the canals, but her mind drew images of barges doused in color, strung up with steamers and bunting and tongues of colored flame, exactly the sort of thing she'd have loved to see, even just a few days ago, but now felt distant and dangerous and strangely indulgent.<br/><br/>She was nervous and excited enough by the time he mentioned a boat she was nearly vibrating behind him, standing on tip-toe, and probably walking entirely too close.<br/><br/>""Where?"" she gasped, whispering as though the boat might hear them and take flight. She squinted through the darkness, then gave up and darted around him to examine the barge by her own faintly blueish light.<br/><br/>Ivy dropped to her knees at the edge of the dock, leaning out as far as she could to study Jötz find. The air around her smelled of rust and stagnant water, making her think the barge had been there for some time. But it<i>was</i>still floating, bobbing gently on the water, and in the back of her mind, Ivy could imagine it dressed in paper streamers and confetti, floating down one of the canals, back to Motorhum, or even farther.<br/><br/>A slightly manic grin suddenly lit upon her face, and in and instant, she was standing, shoving her winterbright contraption and her apron into Jötz's hands without so much as glancing at the Jaeger.<br/><br/>""Hold that,"" she commanded impatiently, backing up the the crumbling wall behind her before taking a small running leap to land herself aboard the barge.<br/><br/>At the last moment, her foot caught on the edge of the boat, pitching her forward to roll directly over the other side, landing with a resounding splash in the brackish water.<br/><br/>""Owww,"" Ivy muttered distractedly, brushing dark hair back from her eyes as she searched for what made the barge go...and what else she could add.<br/><br/>""Do you think the Canallers ever had barges that could<i>fly</i>?"""
18777,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-07-02 23:03:00,Justric,"Fumbling as he tried to juggle both the apron and the terminally explosive lantern, Jötz was caught so off guard that he didn’t have a chance to so much as shout a warning as Ivy bolted past towards the steam barge. He did, however, wince in sympathy as she landed hard upon the ancient deck of thick wooden slats to roll off and into the brackish water. Shaking his head and still grimacing, the Jaeger walked up the edge of the dock and simply extended on long leg to cross over.<br/><br/>“Fly.” The words came out flat and disapproving. “No, dey didn’t ‘fly.’ Dey vas Canallers. Dey lived on da canals. Most canals don’ go off into da sky mit all da clouds and da rain and da birdies.’<br/><br/>As soon as he said the words, he closed his eyes in instant regret. He had a horrible feeling that even now she was contemplating how to make water canals that went through the open air.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath and opening his eyes, he shook his head and set the imposed items off to one side upon the deck where they were safe. “Lets get chou out oft da vater before it gets you stump infected. Ve only gots so much of da healing schtuff after all!”<br/><br/>After helping her out, he tried not to focus on how her soaked clothing clung to her youthful frame. Ivy’s figure was outlined in the light of the mint lamp. Turning around hurriedly, Jötz began to take stock of what they had.<br/><br/>There wasn’t much that could be added, but there was plenty that could be fixed. The wheelhouse near the stern was half collapses, but the wheel and controls appeared to be in sound condition. The connections would probably need some degree of work before the ship could be steered adequately. What looked like twin smoke stacks on either side of the wheel house had also fallen, revealing deep holes that went down into what was possibly a steam engine of some sort. Sticking his nose in one of the holes, Jötz sniffed. “I tink der’s coal down der, but it might be wet. Ve would need someting really hot to get it burning again, I’m tinking!”<br/><br/>Curiosity overruled common sense, and the Jaeger stood to push away most of the collapsed sections of wall that remained around the wheel house; rotten wood and rusted steel slid away into the water with a loud splash. A hatchway led into the darkness below. Sliding down into it, his boots splashed into murky water that released foul smell as he disturbed the silt that had accumulated below. Even with the ticking light source above, he could make out dim details.<br/><br/>“A leetle vet, down here!” he called up as he squinted. “Ders passage dat goes forward, might be oder rooms towards da bow. Maybe another hatch at da other end?” The more immediate surroundings were easier to see, so he focused on those. “Ja, dis ist an engine room. Eet’s a room mit an engine in it. Oh, and der’s tools down here! Don’t look like da vater got to dem, either!”"
18778,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-07-05 03:14:00,DotCom,"Ivy puttered around as Jötz made his own inspections, attempting to wring stagnant water out of her hair with one hand while simultaneously trying to trap the wheel under her newly truncated arm. But her Jaeger friend's announcement that he'd found more tools -- as well as more of the barge -- quickly overrode any other interest she had in the boat or its wheelhouse.<br/><br/>""Really?"" she blurted, suddenly giddy with possibility. ""What kind of tools? I've been thinking, we could really use a wrench that doubles as a precision laser and also maybe a hand cannon, like the one I made you, but bigger!""<br/><br/>She followed the sound of his voice to the hatch, remembering at the last moment to take her mint lamp between her teeth before she followed him into the darkness.<br/><br/>""Mm cunnig don!"" she announced even as she was falling the few feet to splash into the water beside him. She felt her heel catch something solid and furry and tried to angle herself away from the rest of what she assumed was Jötz body.<br/><br/>""Oof -- smfy -- "" She righted herself, squinting the in the murky, bluish light as she spat the mint-flavored lantern in her her good hand. ""I mean sorry. Where're the tools?""<br/><br/>She pushed past him without waiting for an answer, first finding a small assortment in a shallow tin box. Her eyes widened as she took in the new fare.<br/><br/>""<i>Finally</i>!"" she exclaimed, sifting through the box with oil-stained fingers. ""I bet I can make a new arm with some of these!"" She glanced at Jötz briefly over her shoulder. ""Do you want one, too? I promise I won't cut your arm off until I finish the new one."""
18779,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-07-05 09:49:00,Justric,"“No,” Jötz growled darkly. The firmness of his tone left nothing to the imagination, nor did the strength which suddenly grasped above the elbow of her good arm. He pulled her about to face him. The Jaeger was solemn eyed, his features both purposeful and incredibly sad as he looked down at her to speak.<br/><br/>“Hy don’t know if’n chou ist in da Mad Place right now or not, but der is something chou gots to promise me,” he insisted sadly. “Chou don’t work on me. A leetle patching up or stitching schtuff up ist fine, or giving me da Battle Draught I gots in disk flash.” He thumped a small canteen on his belt with his thumb, but did not break away his gaze from her. “Only a Heterodyne can verk on a Jaeger, Ivy. Der’s a place in Mechanicsburg vere hy can go to get patched up vhen ve ist too banged up to fight no more, Mama Gkika’s. But only der. Und hy gots to sneak in. Oddervise, hy must vait for a Heterodyne to return. Only von of da Heterodynes oder another Jaeger can verk on us.”<br/><br/>Jötz dropped his hand and his eyes away. “If’n someting happens und chou gots to chop someting off, den chou do it. Hy trusts chou to do vhat chou gots to do. But no replacements. No modifications oder adding tings. Ist… ist very important, Ivy. More important den a hat, even… ”<br/><br/>He suddenly felt vulnerable telling her this, exposed. But he had already seen how quickly and easily this young Spark could slip in that mind state that was half insanity and half inspiration, and he feared that if she got too many ideas into her head he might wake up as something other than a true Jaeger. Death, dismemberment, disembowelment, dissection… there was a whole list of such ‘d’ words that he was prepared to accept; disloyalty to the Heterodynes was not on it.<br/><br/>Rubbing up to rub the cheek she had accidentally stepped on, Jötz closed his eyes and leaned against the ladder. This young woman was making him afraid on so many levels. Fear was not good for one of the Jaegerkin."
18780,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-07-10 02:39:00,DotCom,"Ivy felt a furry claw wrap around her arm, and then, a second later, she felt her temper jump up through levels of 'simmering' to 'explosive' to 'right on through the roof' as Jötz pulled her away from the tools<i>he'd</i>shown her. She scowled, green eyes going hard and opened her mouth to berate him.<br/><br/>""Get<i>off</i>, you -- oh.""<br/><br/>Her foul mood died just as quickly as it had come, and all it had taken was the force of his tone...and the look in his eyes. She was vaguely aware he was speaking, and that it was important, at least to him, so she ought to be listening, but she couldn't quite get over how somber he looked, and there was a pang of something sharp in her belly that felt awfully close to pity.<br/><br/>Which, of course, was grotesque at the very best. He had cut off her<i>arm</i>. She was supposed to be mad at him. She<i>had</i>been. Hadn't she?<br/><br/>It occurred to her he was still speaking, and she wasn't listening, and for some reason, that felt very wrong. She made herself focus. Besides. It was the first time, at least in her short memory, that he'd called her just Ivy. She figured that counted for something.<br/><br/>He looked so tired, so downtrodden when he finished speaking, Ivy felt an almost overwhelming need to hug him, but she didn't know if he'd like that. She'd heard about Sparks experimenting on friends and family before -- mostly old Motorhum horror stories, but familiar enough to leave goosebumps on her arms -- and wondered, not for the first time, how Sparks ever made it through even half a lifetime if they were always killing those who tried to protect them. She wanted to promise, if only to see him stop looking so<i>sad</i>, that she wouldn't do anything, but the truth was, she didn't know how to stop it. And he would understand that even better than she.<br/><br/>After a moment, she decided just to turn away. There was no verbal confirmation, no mutual agreement. Words wouldn't mean anything. Not that kind, at least.<br/><br/>Ivy went back to poking through the tools he'd found her, the silence weighing heavy, almost unbearable on her shoulders before she said, ""I think I can make the engine work. And then...and then maybe you can leave me in the next town. If you want."""
18781,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-07-12 18:16:00,Justric,"The girl turned away after he finished speaking, begging for her to understand why it was so important that she not do anything to him. Only Ivy said nothing to that effect, instead nattering on again about the engine and their future plans. Jötz felt she hadn’t been listening, not really. At least not to all of it. Common sense told him as it would anyone with half a brain that it was best to get as much distance between the Spark and himself as possible before she completely destroyed what he was by trying to<i>imrpove</i>him.<br/><br/>Only Jötz was a Jaegermonster. Common sense was not an attribute often associated with then, even if they were not quite as reckless as they made themselves seem to be. Besides which, he had made a promise to look after her until she was safe. Their loyalty to the House of Heterodyne had its foundations in that same Jaeger sense of perverse honor Jötz and his fellows adhered to. He had promise Ivy he would see her safe and with her arm restored, and that was a bargain he couldn't go back on even as his cynicism scolded him for making such a bad deal.<br/><br/>“No,” he grumped, “I gets chou vhere I promised. Den ve kin talk abouts chat comes after, ja?”<br/><br/>Turning his own back to her now, Jötz began to make his way down the flooded hallway to see what else there was. There was actually rather little. He could tell by looking which rooms were for sleeping and cooking and storage, especially the stretched cargo hold midships where his footfalls echoed against the rusting steel. Completely abandoned. Further along towards the bow, he came across another steep ladder that led up to a hatch, much like the one they had come down. Beyond that, there was one last door.<br/><br/>This one was shut fast, a bronze nameplate heavily pitted and verdant with age right at eye level. Frowning, Jötz tried the door. It was sealed fast. Rubbing the cloth of his sleeve against the metal plaque a few times, he squinted as he tried to read the archaic font that had been razed into the bronze. It was in English, which took him longer to translate in his head.<br/><br/>“Captain… Ja-kob… Moore… Ludd.” Jötz frowned. Why did that name sound so familiar? It did have something to do with the Canallers, but he couldn’t remember what. He tried sounding it out several times in different ways to see if it jarred any memories. “Jakob More Ludd… Jake Ob Mere Ludd… Jake Oft M’Blood… Jakomoblud… Jackamooludd… Giacomo…”<br/><br/>His brushed the tipped of his talon fingers across it, squinting. His lips barely moved as he whispered a combination that unlocked his memories. “Jack of More Blood.”<br/><br/>Jötz’s eyes went wide and he stepped back. Captain Jack of More Blood, a viscous pirate captain that had terrorized the canalways and rivers and lakes of most of Europa with impunity. He had been a privateer so feared that it had taken the Storm King himself to put on end to him. Only the story had never said exactly what had happened, only that he had been defeated! If this was his ship…<br/><br/>“Iiiivy!” Jötz roared. Backpedalling for severals steps, he turned to half run and half slog through the brackish water back towards the engine room. No doubt while he explored, she had started work on the engine. If the tales of the infamous pirate and his miraculous barge of death were even the least bit true, then firing up the hulk’s boiler may not be the best of ideas… at least not without an army standing by! “Chou may not vants to do that!!”"

She didn't like it nearly as much as her apron, but she wasn't about to waste the time it would take her to climb back up, one handed, to grab it. Besides, the tool belt was bigger, and didn't have to be tied around her waist. She looped it over her head and wriggled up it rested low on her hips, half her mind now wandering as she tried to figure out whether she could combine the tool belt with the apron -- for posterity's sake.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Jötz had made his way into the dark, and the rest of her mind was occupied with trying to make up the last few days to him. She still hadn't<i>quite</i>gotten over the whole amputation thing, but she could no longer deny he'd saved her life almost more times than she could count now. And he'd lost his hat in the process. She was certain speeding them ahead to the next town, especially along the safety of the subterranean canals, would make him feel a little better, if only so he could go on his way again, hat-stealing, and village-plundering. She supposed maybe she would sort of miss him, but then she'd probably be too busy...doing whatever unfettered Sparks did to care.<br/><br/>In any case, fixing the engine was something to occupy her time while he sulked and she gave him some space. And she was just beginning to make out the vague shape of a few piston-looking things in the dark, which was<i>great</i>because she'd<i>just</i>been thinking about how much better the ÜberOven would have run it if had had a second combustion engine. Of course, that one had run on blueberries, and that just didn't seem practical here.<br/><br/>Ivy was all about practicality.<br/><br/>She set the still-ticking lantern beside her for light and wriggled beneath the engine, suspended on to heavy steel pipes she suspected ran coolant through the system, smearing grease across her face and clothing as she did. For a time, and she couldn't say how much, she lost herself in a haze of equal parts curiosity and frustration, muttering numbers, curses, and questions under her breath as she did so. Jötz had probably been shouting her name before several minutes before she heard him.<br/><br/>""...six-four-seven...could put a pulley in here, and then...nine-one-eight...no...dammit! Why would anyone even<i>use</i>less than sixteen pistons...five-three-zero...for -- Oh, for Pete's sake,<i>will you shut <b>UP</b>?!</i>"" Ivy sat up in a huff, furious and red-faced...until her forehead collided with one of the suspension pipes, leaving a red welt marked by a black streak of grease straight across her forehead.<br/><br/>The girl made a face, rubbing her nose with her good hand. ""Owwwww,"" she muttered to herself, squinting through the darkness at the long approaching Jötz. ""What're you yelling about?"" she started, before her gaze drifted to her lantern, now ticking much faster and smelling faintly of smoke. And mint. Always mint.<br/><br/>Her face brightened at once.<br/><br/>""Oh!"" she exclaimed, grinning at Jötz as though she'd just discovered the secret to all the world's mysteries. ""Look, we can just blow it up and start over! You have to catch any flying parts, okay?"" she added seriously. ""Your hands are bigger than mine."" She reached back under the pipes and gears and springs and switches and snagged the lantern-turned-ticking-time-bomb, and then casually launched it at what remained of the ancient engine."
18783,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-07-16 21:15:00,Justric,"Jötz had just stumbled through the hatchway into the engine room as Ivy grinned at him, told him to catch any flying bits, and then hurled the ticking mint bomb into the boiler’s furnace. Catching however many bits that she had crammed into the improvised light source was hardly the first thing he was going to do, not when he knew how strong boilers had to be and that those tiny bits would ricochet around inside and bounce out even faster than they had gone in once it exploded! Knowing he would regret his choice but not seeing any other, the Jaeger leapt across the water logged room to grab her. Once more she was shielded tightly against his chest, great arms wrapped about her.<br/><br/>Then the lantern exploded.<br/><br/>The heightened Jaeger sense of smell allowed him to admire the fresh scent of various mints that suddenly filled the air. The odor was pleasing, relaxing even! A cool breeze ruffled his fur and bare head to make him shiver ever so slightly…<br/><br/>Only to be followed by the heat of the furnace blasting against his back. The blue-green flames and accompanying sparks shot out of the coal hatch for several seconds in a roaring din, the fire flickering at his damp cloak. The thick material protected his back. The garment itself, however, was ruined. The heat evaporated the moisture that had soaked up into it, and then that same heat ate holes into it through to his tunic. If not for that second level of protection, he had little doubt that most of the fur on his back would have been singed away! Jötz didn’t even want to think what might have happened to Ivy’s face if she had still been standing there, happily staring into the furnace when the lantern exploded!<br/><br/>The flames ceased shooting forth and filling the air with refreshing mint, plunging the chamber back into darkness… but only for a moment. Ever so slowly, a soft light began to fill the room. Jötz could even see lights coming alive down the corridor he had just come from, the illuminate gradually increasing as though waking after a long slumber. A low, rattling hum came from all around. Slowly releasing Ivy from his protective embraced, he looked about wide eyed at the changes brought by sight. Then there came a sudden sucking sound, and the water about their calves and knees began to drain away as ancient pumps came to life somewhere unseen. As the barge was freed of the water’s ballast, it began to right itself and float higher in the water.<br/><br/>With the additional of whatever artificial light, the condition of the ship could better be seen. It was not great. Some spots were missing their lights, the extent of the rust became more obvious, and by looking up one could see the holes in the deck above. Yet the vessels floated and the engine ran with only the occasional cough. Considering it must have sat there for a few centuries at best, it was impressive!<br/><br/>Turning back to Ivy, he looked down into her sweet face and frowned. “Hey, chou gots a bump.”"
18784,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-07-27 21:40:00,DotCom,"Ivy was trembling, half manic, when Jötz finally released her, showing no sign of having heard anything he'd said...but then her ears were still ringing from the explosion, which only served to bolster her excitement.<br/><br/>She scrambled to her feet, slipping only once as the water began to drain away, then stood as near to the furnace as the could manage, newly truncated arm raised against the heat. She could hear pumps and drains kicking to life under her feet as the lights flickered on overhead and the barge began to rise in the water. It had worked! Granted, not quite how she'd planned, but they could<i>move</i>now, and any, that explosion had been well worth it.<br/><br/>The engine behind her gave the occasional cough, which she ignored for now -- she could fix that later, she was sure. She could probably get it to burn faster, and cleaner, too. And when she mounted the barge's defenses, she could harvest any recoil energy and send it here. In fact, she could probably get the whole thing to run faster<i>while</i>it was firing away into the darkness!<br/><br/>She turned to Jötz only as she happened to pass him en route down the dimly lit hallway, abruptly remembering his presence.<br/><br/>""How far will the canals take us?"" she asked. ""Do you think we can get around the whole world? Or...or maybe back to Motorhum, I bet if I showed them...we could open up new lines of trade and no one would even<i>know</i>!"" She frowned suddenly, oblivious to the black and red streak across her forehead the Jaeger had pointed out. ""We might need to lay some new canals. I was thinking maybe I could attach something to the bottom of the barge, like...like, a big scoop, and then we'll have to go down and lay...something nicer than cement, too much friction, if we want to travel the world, we have to be able to move<i>faster</i>...""<br/><br/>She looked up at him, frowning. ""Where<i>are</i>we going? That place you said...do you know how to get there?"""

Shaking his head, he resisted the urge to point out that having lines of trade no one knew about was rather pointless. Unless of course she was talking smuggling.<i>That</i>he could get behind! Ivy’s rather rural and isolated upbringing made him doubt she had any such thing in mind, however, and her plan to return to Motorhum was simply out of the question. For one, he doubted the underground canals ran in that direction. And second, even if she came back draped in gold and jewels and all manner of sparkly thing, it was doubtful her family and friends would welcome her back with arms open. Again, these were things the Jaeger could see that his Sparky ward had either forgotten or never ever thought about to begin with.<br/><br/>Fighting back a sigh, he shrugged. “Chou can gets a new arm in Beetleburg, usually dey gots lots of mechanical vuns. Ift chou vants to grow a new vun, ve need to goes to Mechanicsburg; da great hospital der can gets it done.” Jötz pointed towards the bow. “I tink dis goes towards Beetleburg, but I don’ts know of any canal mooring der. Shtill, Beetleburg vast around vhen da canal vere built. So der’s a good chance. Ift nothing else, eet vill bring us a bit closer, eyh?”<br/><br/>As he spoke, he removed the ruined outer garment and tossed it into the furnace, where it sizzled and popped briefly before flaring into ash. The look on his face was morose. True, a cloak was nowhere near as important as a hat, but he had the cloak for a long time. It was almost like burning a piece of history.<br/><br/>Looking back towards Ivy, he decided now was as good a time to warn her of the dangers in either city. Once they were underway, she was all too likely to become distracted again.<br/><br/>“Look, Ivy, der ist sometings chou gotta know before ve gets undervay. Once ve gets into der cities proper, chou can’t let peoples know you is a Mad Girl. Vimmen Sparks? Der isn’t many of dem to start wit, und dey tend to go poof-vanish-gone pretty quickly so dat no one sees dem again. Dat, and if da Baron finds out? He’s gonna vant chou. To study. Maybe he finds you a safe job and do all sorts of neat Sparky stuff, and maybe he slices chou up for parts. Ders no telling. So vhen ve gets into da towns and cities? Chou gots to keep it down.

She poked her head out into open space, dark curls somehow still dripping from her fall into the water, and made a face.<br/><br/>""The Baron?<i>The</i>Baron? Baron Wulfenbach? Why would he want me?"" She paused to consider this, her fingers idling with a wrench she must have grabbed from the tool supply before or after the explosion (the explosion! The thought of it still made her want to giggle, but she refrained because Jötz had his serious face, which Ivy was pretty sure was happening more and more often) without thinking about. Her scowl deepened.<br/><br/>""And what<i>I</i>don't want to go with<i>him</i>?"" She had heard horror stories about the Baron and his floating castle 'o' Sparks growing up. Most of the children of Motorhum had. They were none of them particularly pleasant, but all, save for those slurred in dirty alleys by the pinch of town drunks, were spoken with a quiet reverence. The more Sparks the Baron snatched up, the fewer remained to terrorize the villages scattered amongst the Wastes. Still. Wulfenbach's skybound fortress might take her home, or on any number of grand adventures...or it might force her to spend the rest of her life fixing watches over empty patches of nothingness. No, Ivy much preferred to be in control of her own destiny.<br/><br/>Besides. She'd rather grown to enjoy the company of her new Jaeger friend. Even if he had amputated her arm. She wasn't sure whether Baron Wulfenbach allowed for guests, and she wasn't keen on the idea of falling asleep somewhere with half a clank in her lap, then waking up alone on an unfamiliar ship.<br/><br/>""I thought the whole point of going to the big cities was that no one would try to kill me,"" Ivy said slowly as she emerged from the last of the open rooms. She was staring intently at the wrench in her hands now, frowning as she chewed a lip. ""If they're just going to try anyway..."" She trailed off then grinned suddenly. ""Well, they can try."" She imagined a place where she would be able to build something -- some<i>things</i>-- big enough to defend against the Baron's fortress.<br/><br/>""Mechanicsburg!"" she blurted suddenly. ""Let's go there. How long do you think it'll take? I can make the engine go faster, I bet. And mount some cannons on the front of the barge, so we can blast<i>through</i>the walls, instead of going around them. And -- ""<br/><br/>She glanced back over her shoulder to try and gauge his relative levels of excitement, and saw he was still pretty much centered on what he'd been saying. Impatient, Ivy exhaled and rolled her eyes.<br/><br/>""Yes, yes, I understand. I won't tell anyone I'm a Spark."" She scowled again then added impetuously, ""And I won't go with the Baron. I want to stay with you."""

Ivy would be<i>safer</i>in the cities, not out of the line of fire altogether. People in the big urban areas tended to be more understanding about such matters, only the universities and schools attracted all manner of madmen, crazed scientists, and Sparks, many of whom would have clashing egos. Not to mention that it would make it easier for the Baron to find her! If a female Spark began openly practicing, it would take no time at all for word to get and anyone who truly wanted to spend the effort would be able to find her.<br/><br/>All of his protests died on his lips, however, as Ivy added her coda.<br/><br/>She… wanted to stay with him?? Ivy had changed her mind again, and now in one of mercurial moods she had decided on continuing to keep company with the monster that had sliced her arm off. Jötz had dealt with a fair share of Sparks over his long life, and while it had been as long as many Jaegerkin, he was fairly sure he had never met a Spark whose moods and whims shifted so quickly and without warning before! The frustration of dealing with her ever changing frame of mind was tempered, however, by the strange warm feeling Jötz felt towards her when she confessed her intentions.<br/><br/>“Vell,” he coughed, “Hyz glad dat ist settled, den. Ja. Vell.” Attempting to clear his throat, Jötz gestured towards the final room towards the bow; the open doors had all lead into rooms that were either empty or filled with detritus. The cabin at the far end was the only one left unexplored. “Ve should be able to get to Mechanicsburg from beneath mit dis, yes. At least I tink so. Outside da valls at any rate. But chou gots to remember, Ivy, I can’ts go in mit you. At least… not above da ground.”<br/><br/>He waved all of that away for now.<br/><br/>“Anyvayz, choy remember vhat I vas saying about da Canals, ja? Vell, der vas a Canaller who didn’t much like vhen all da towns and pipples got all upsets at dem. A guy called Jacob Ludd. He vast a nasty guy, did really bad tings to pipples he didn’t like, stole vhatever he vanted, left death und destruction und smoke everyvhere he vent.” Jötz sighed as though in love. “Even da Jaegers oft da time vanted to be like him!”<br/><br/>Snapping back to the moment, Jötz guided her towards the shut door with the plague. “I tink dis vast his pirate barge! Der could be vealth, guns, tings dat go boom, creatures from da very pits of da nether hells… Almost any ting could be behind dis door!” Frowning at the plaque, he sighed. “Only I can’ts get it open!”"

For a city that promised a nearly unending supply of tool kits, metal gears, and more wrenches and screwdrivers than she could shake a stick at, they sure had a lot of silly rules. What was the point of having all that great stuff if you weren't going to share fairly with female Sparks and the Jaeger companions?<br/><br/>Still, she didn't feel like arguing anymore. She wanted to<i>go</i>, the<i>move</i>, to<i>be</i>anywhere but sitting still again. She was beginning to feel restless, and she wasn't sure how much time she could spend rebuilding the engine before Jötx tried to ruin her fun again.<br/><br/>She started to wonder off again, wondering whether she could find anything of use that wasn't buried in dust or half eaten away by copper-colored rust -- but she froze as Jötz began speaking again.<br/><br/>Jacob Ludd?<br/><br/>She was almost<i>certain</i>she had heard the name before, though she couldn't, for the life of her, remember where or even when. Motorhum hadn't exactly been a bustling city, and certainly wasn't Spark friendly. It only followed that all the atrocities that came with Sparks -- even those, like the Canallers, that weren't directly linked -- weren't much liked or discussed either, save by more liberal parents, and even then, only in the confines of crowded children's rooms, meant to frighten children into staying home to take care of their ailing, aging families. Rather like the toads outside the village walls.<br/><br/>Though that had ended up far worse than Ivy might have anticipated.<br/><br/>That, coupled with the involuntary shiver she gave at the sound of the name, and the way the tiny hairs on the back of her neck went rigid, almost as if they themselves were fearful of the ghost of some unknown moniker, ought to have prodded what little intuitive effort Ivy had into some semblance of being. But as of late, all her intuition had gone into building any number of bombs. So. No help there.<br/><br/>Then the moment was past, and Ivy was shrugging, thinking she'd probably gotten the name from her brother's old stories. He'd once traded a week's supply of eggs to the neighbor for a tattered and dog-eared copy of<i>The Heterodyne Tales, Vol. 2</i>. The illustrations had been so graphic (and the eggs so missed), Mama Petra had beat him until he couldn't even help with the chores and had to make them up the next month. But he'd kept the book, and he and Ivy had read from it every night until the pages had fallen apart in their hands.<br/><br/>""I think I read a story about him once,"" Ivy said errantly, still frowning slightly, trying to remember just what the story had been about. Why it made her stomach feel a little uneasy. Then she shrugged and grinned. ""I bet<i>I</i>can get it open,"" she said, then hesitated. ""But maybe you should stand somewhere else. I think you get in the way of my exploding things a lot."""

De best bits I stack in the da middle of da boat so chou can take a looks later.” With that, he head back towards the stern and up the ladder that would bring him near the remains of the pilot house.<br/><br/>Her words left a buzzing in his furry, tufted ears for some reason. Motorhum had been a pretty backwater place, even for a village in the middle of the Wastes. How had she heard about the pirate captain there? It wasn’t like the Jaegers.<i>Everyone</i>knew about Jaegers, he thought with a certain amount of pride. Then again… was Motorhum really that far from whatever ruin they had fallen into? The trip had taken a bit, but then again he and Ivy had to circumnavigate trees, bogs, ponds, boulders, and mutated blue toads along the way. Maybe there was a connection between the two that he was missing?<br/><br/>Jötz put it out of his mind for now. Instead, he tossed what was obviously debris overboard while scourging about for anything that might look remotely useful. He had a pretty good idea for what a Spark might want. Not to mention that he could use some of the panelling from below to cover the more treacherous holes in the deck’s surface. There seemed to be enough material to ensure a bit of safety while leaving her with some to work with. Jötz grinned. “Vell, so long as she don’t blow a hole in da-“<br/><br/>This time it was his own words he froze at. Not so much from the power of them but for how they linked up to words that the Mad Girl had just recently spoken.<br/><br/><i> ""I bet I can get it open… I think you get in the way of my exploding things a lot.”</i><br/><br/>“Oh she vouldn’t,” he breathed. The monster looked down at the deck beneath his boots and realized that he was standing more or less right above her. If Ivy blew the door open…<br/><br/>Closing his eyes, Jötz realized that yes, yes should would use explosives to open the door… and possibly the whole of the bow in the process and thereby sinking the ship. Did she know enough to curtail the explosion? Did she have the experience to know exactly how far to go and no further? He feared that she didn’t and that soon they would be swimming. So far, Ivy had made some great demonstrations that she knew how to make things go boom. Then again, she hadn’t blown up the engine… yet.<br/><br/>With a heavy sigh he turned and trudged back towards the stairs. Jötz was starting to feel a bit conflicted about all of this. Ivy needed a keeper and he had volunteered for whatever reason. He wanted to trust her, which was an incredibly foolish thing to do with a young Spark regardless of gender! He still wasn’t sure if any of what he had said about not experimenting on him had sunken into her brain, and even as one of the Jaegerkin he was finding her propensity to make things explode just a tad alarming. Yet if he stopped her… it was like scolding a child for wanting a sweet… or a pet seeking attention… or the victim of grisly human experimentation begging for mercy… or a lover expecting a-<br/><br/>He clamped down on that last thought as he reached the bottom of the stairs. Looking down the long hallway to the bow where she working upon the heavy door, he called out to her. “Oy, Ivy! Is you alright? Too big a bang und ve’ll be swimming mit da fishes, chou know!”"

The creature had eight springy legs, one large, glittering eye, and a multitude of gears and wires tucked into a bulbous container, presumably representing its abdomen.<br/><br/>""Its name is Petris,"" she said, now whispering almost reverently as she brushed a single finger over the clank's right foreleg. At its touch, the small spider stiffened, then wriggled fluidly before said leg straightened, elongating abruptly to fire a laser into one corner of the room, turning an empty crate into a pile of smoking ashes.<br/><br/>Ivy's grin broadened. ""<i>See?</i>"" she demanded. ""Now you don't have to get hurt anymore. Watch."" She turned and set her newest creation on the floor at the base of the heavy door. ""I want to go in there,"" she said patiently, then turned over her shoulder to give her companion an excited giggle as the clank went to work.<br/><br/>It scuttled up the side of the door with no apparent regard for gravity (though closer inspection would reveal a series of cleat-like spikes protruding from the ends of each of its spindly legs) until it reached the bronzed doorknob, whereupon its two foremost legs moved at a blur. A moment later, the doorknob fell away, revealing a small space to look into the room. The spider folded itself to fit through the hole, and then it was gone.<br/><br/>Ivy turned back to Jötz again. ""See? No explosions necessa -- ""<br/><br/>A muffled boom came from the other side of the door, and Ivy rocked back on her heels as the barge swayed in response. A moment later, Petris emerged from the hole left by the discarded doorknob, its demeanor now strangely smug, quickly followed by a curl of black smoke and the smell of gunpowder.<br/><br/>Ivy shrugged as she held out a hand for the clank that was now warm to the touch. It crawled up her arm and settled in a curtain of black hair at her shoulder. Ivy shrugged. ""Well, no<i>big</i>explosions. C'mon.""<br/><br/>She leaned against the heavy door again and was not remotely surprised when it swung back under her hands."

And what there was to see!<br/><br/>The cabin was luxuriously decorated with the popular fashion of some two or three centuries past. The walls were lined with walnut book cases whose delicate looking but sturdy construction matched the massive desk in the center of the room. A great deal of time and effort had gone into making the furniture. The surfaces were all covered in an artistic design of carvings, wood and mother of pearl inlays, and bas relief that gave the impression the wood was not only somehow alive but actually flowering with vines that twisted and turned along the legs and the edges. All of the shelves were filled with books. A nook in the rear of the cabin revealed a raised platform nestled between the shelves, a small loft that looked as though it once served as a small but cozy bed.<br/><br/>Dust covered the room, making the once lush carpet beneath their feet all the thicker. This compartment had not been flooded, that much was obvious! Even the books looked in fair condition for all their supposed age! Better at least than the man who sat behind the desk. Or rather, what was left of him.<br/><br/>Dressed in the elegant fashions of times long past, the corpse was seated in a high leather chair behind the desk. The beard on his face made it evident that it was most likely a “he.” More mummy than skeleton, a wineglass rested in one cupped hand while the other hand rested casually upon the top of the bare desk. Small spectacles rested on his forehead. It was as though he had pushed them up there away from his eyes, taken a drink, and calmly died. The sight of him just sitting three and seemingly looking right at Ivy and Jötz gave the room a creepy, haunted feeling that made even the Jaeger take a step back. Jötz had seen plenty of dead people in his time. He’d even created a few! But there were some scenes that even a howling, furry monster of destruction simply had to shake his head at and walk away.<br/><br/>Only he already knew the chances of Ivy walking away as well were slim to none.<br/><br/>Jötz raised his eyes to scan the rest of the room, frowning as he wondered where all of the gold and weapons and crazy-crazy death fun he had expected were. “Dey say he vas buried mit his treasure,” the furry monsterman whispered to the Spark. “So vhere ist all da shiny shtuff?”"

The mechanical spider on her shoulder took one look and scuttled further back under a fall of thick black curls. Ivy took no notice of her arachnid friend, nor her Jaeger friend, either as she inched forward with more reverence than caution. If she'd seen the books, the carvings, or any of the small, dusty room's other antiquated knick-knacks, she didn't show it, and in fact had yet to comment on the strange condition of the room itself. Her gaze, growing more and more awe struck by the moment, was for the noble skeletal figure before her.<br/><br/>""Is that him?"" she almost whispered to no one in particular. Her still-bare toes had reached the heavy feet of the desk by the point, though she didn't appear to take notice of that either. Instead, with a grace that had thus far proved to be far from the norm, she braced herself against the desk, leaving fingerprints in the quarter inch of dust as she settled on her knees to get a closer look. A globe sitting on one corner of the desk teetered perilously. Without looking away from the mummy corpse, Ivy calmly extended a hand. Petris hurried down her arm, extended one of it's eight legs, and righted the thing before perching atop the globe itself -- and apparently going to work.<br/><br/>Ivy, for her part, hadn't yet taken her eyes from the ancient man before her, though they now flitted here and there as if taking in something otherwise unapparent to the average looker.<br/><br/>Finally, quietly, calmly, she said, ""I want to figure out how he locked the room. There was a reason he trapped himself in here. If we can figure that out, maybe he can find his treasure, too.""<br/><br/>She turned back to Jötz and beamed, her eyes nearly glowing. ""I bet a man like this had Sparky toys<i>everywhere</i>."""

Chust books. A lot of… books.” The Jaeger had been temporarily distracted by the sight of Ivy climbing up onto the desk, her rump in the air and then with her looking back over her shoulder at him as she was. He had a hard time believing any man alive who wouldn’t have been distracted at the sight! And maybe a few dead ones at that!<br/><br/>But his Jaeger senses told him that there was still some danger here abouts. “Ist like a tomb or crypt in here.” He looked around trying to see anything out of the ordinary but all he could see were the damned-<br/><br/>He frowned. It couldn’t be that simple could it? Really? Although it made sense in a strange sort of way, he had to admit. What else would a Spark truly value after all? Not saying a word, Jötz purposefully moved his bulk across the room to examine the books closer. He could read. Only he had the grasp of only a few modern languages, and whatever the words were upon the spines of the collected works, they were alien to him. Roman alphabet, yes, but that was all that was familiar. Or was it perhaps a code? Snorting, he realized it might even be both.<br/><br/>Reaching out carefully with one talon, he snagged the top of one book’s spine and tugged ever so slightly on it. There was resistance. Nodding thoughtfully, he turned back to his companion.<br/><br/>“Vell, Hy gots good news und bad news.” He gestured to the wall of the book cases, filled completely with their wide assortments of texts, books, tombs, and manuscripts. “Hy tink da treasure ist right here in front oft us. Only is booby-trapped. See?”<br/><br/>Jötz tugged further on the spine in hand until the book was half toppled from its place. Behind the walls there came a clicking sound, and the door swung shut again. Lacking a lock thanks to Petris, it immediately rebounded off of the frame and swung back open. The trap seemed to have been already disarmed accidentally thanks to Ivy’s latest creation. Shrugging, he released the book. “It looks like he vanted to take it mit him. Like one oft dem der ancient kings, ja? Only mit out all da wrappings und dead slaves to guard his grave.”"
18794,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-09-16 06:20:00,DotCom,"Ivy felt a violent shudder rocket down her spine, felt the hairs on her arms and neck stand up at the thought of being trapped in one place for an eternity -- let alone a place occupied by a Jaeger and a corpse, even a well preserved one. Adventure and mystery were all good and well. A slow suffocation seemed much less enticing, inevitable boredom aside.<br/><br/>But her curiosity was quick in beating out her fear, if it could be called as such. Ivy had always lacked a healthy sense of caution, but the last few days in particular had been...strange. Certainly she would not have been here if it hadn't been for some of her more daring moments. But then she'd probably also still have two functioning arms.<br/><br/>""It's just the books?"" Ivy repeated slowly as she carefully maneuvered off the desk and toward the nearest shelving unit, an unmistakable note of disappointment in her voice. But as soon as her fingers brushed the spine of the first book she found -- a thick red tome with a spine the color of wine and pages delicate as butterfly wings -- her face brightened again. ""<i>All</i>of these are ours now?""<br/><br/>She pulled the heavy book into the awkward cradle of her arm then abruptly sat when she saw that wasn't going to work. Pursing her lips, she took a breath and blew a thick cloud of dust from the cover, which immediate set her to cough, eyes watering. Unperturbed, she squinted through the dusty haze to try and read the symbols on the front of the book. She recognized the letters themselves, but the script and the language made the words almost indecipherable.<br/><br/>Almost.<br/><br/>Without even realizing it, Ivy began to mutter to herself, and endless chain of numbers, her brow furrowed, hardly daring to breathe as she began to make sense of the archaic code.<br/><br/>""What?"" she said, distracted first by the layer of dust on her fingertips, then by whatever the books themselves said.<br/><br/>""Th-thehun...theunt...thunt? No...no...The...The...Hunt...The Hunter's...Bun...Bu...Boun...Bounty! The Hunter's Bounty! A...A Gu..Guild...A<i>Guide</i>t-to...L...Life...A...after...After D...Dea -- ""<br/><br/>The barge lurched so suddenly and fiercely that the heavy book flew from Ivy's lap as the young Spark tumbled backwards into the desk. Petris, who had managed to break down the globe into two large bowls and a copper stand, immediately abandoned its work to join her as she rubbed her head, frowning.<br/><br/>""Ow!"" she grumbled, too shocked to be truly angry. ""What's wrong with this stupid thing, we got the engine running, why -- ""<br/><br/>She was cut off by a horrendous screeching that soon forced her to put her hands -- or rather, her<i>hand</i>-- to her ears. It was the unmistakable noise of metal tearing metal and it served only to frustrate Ivy further. Hauling herself to her feet, she glared at Jötz accusingly, shouting over the ruckus to be heard.<br/><br/>""What<i>is</i>that?"" she demanded. ""I was reading that book, and now -- ""<br/><br/>Ivy stopped. The screeching had stopped, and everything had fallen quiet. Very quiet.<br/><br/>The Spark made a face, now less angry and more curious. ""Hey...why'd the engines stop?""<br/><br/>Her question was answered by an unmistakable, if vaguely mechanic, roar.<br/><br/>Ivy brightened abruptly. ""Hey, are there s'posed to be<i>clanks</i>down here?"""
18795,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-09-24 23:58:00,Justric,"Jötz grimaced when she mentioned clanks, forcing himself to close his eyes and count to ten mentally before sighing and sauntering over to the door. Almost casually, he pushed it open to stare down the corridor back towards the engine room. His green lips pursed around his fangs. Nodding judiciously, he closed the door and leaned against it to look at Ivy.<br/><br/>“Vell, vetter der ist s’posed ta be clanks or not, der’s some der,” he calmly announced. Jötz decided to skip that they were on all fours and vaguely doglike but with much bigger fangs. He doubted they actually needed to eat, which meant the huge teeth had some other purpose than dining. Ripping and tearing meat probably still come into play somewhere along the line. The three clanks he had seen looked old, their brass and bronze heavily coated in a green patina and their joints moving stiffly. Water was still dripping off of them; they must have pulled themselves up from the bottom of the canal, he reasoned. Jötz couldn’t recall seeing anything quite like them before, which was slightly concerning. Still, they had joints! Joints were weaknesses to be exploited, or so he had been taught by both fellow Jaegers and by experience. If there were only three, he was pretty sure he could take them.<br/><br/>Pulling out his four barreled gun, he checked the magazine. Jötz clicked his tongue in disappointment. “Not too many rounds left,” he mused professionally, “Might have ta go hand ta hand mit dem, und stretch da old muskles.” The Jaeger flexed his biceps unconsciously, a wicked grin playing about his fangs at just the thought of it. It had been a while since he had truly cut loose. He had avoided taking on the toads head to head for Ivy’s sake, a good decision in hindsight now that they knew what one of those poison teeth could do to someone! Wrestling clanks was dangerous, but it was also a challenge!<br/><br/>Jötz glanced at the young Ivy. Would she be impressed? That was the real concern. Because if there was anything better than a death-defying challenge, it was a death-defying challenge to impress a pretty young maiden!<br/><br/>“Chou stay here und get some read-ink done, hokay?” He set the gun on the desk besides her with a smirk. Flexing his talons, the smirk became an outright evil grin. “I go handle dis, den ve get on mit stuff. Shouldn’t take too long, Hy tink.”<br/><br/>“No. No, it won’t, actually.” The voice was thin and reedy, more a whisper than anything else. A skeletal hand reached across and neatly plucked the pistol off the desk to cover both Ivy and the Jaeger. The mummified corpse in the chair moved as stiffly as the clank-hounds outside, but move it did. Hollow eye sockets seemed to still see them both clearly, a faint orange glow showing in their depths now. “I might just be skin and bones, but my mother always said that looks aren’t everything.”<br/><br/>Turning slightly in the chair to face Ivy, a ghastly chuckle hissed passed the rotted teeth. “I’m glad you’re able to read my code, my dear. I’ve been waiting for someone who could for an awfully long time!”<br/><br/>The door swung open slowly to reveal the three large clank-hounds. They had crept up closer to the room as the corpse of the pirate captain leaved the Jaeger’s pistol at his new captives. Jötz slowly backed up until he was right in front of Ivy, half shielding her from any attack that might come from either corner. He felt like a right chump.<br/><br/>The dead pirate continued chatting pleasantly to Ivy, ignoring the Jaeger. “That you’re young and comely is a plus,” he was commenting. “Shame about the arm, but, well, there’s a precedent for pirates having hooks for hands.”"

It was hard to tell. She couldn't<i>feel</i>anything wrapped around her neck, but there was definitely a weight centered somewhere over her chest, even as she scrambled to her feet and away from the talking skeleton. The<i>talking skeleton</i>of a dead<i>pirate</i>whose name she didn't recognize, but made her shiver anyway. The thing before her was the stuff of literal nightmares, and that was<i>without</i>the mini-cannon she'd made. She knew precisely what it could do to her, and yet not enough at all.<br/><br/>But somehow, Ivy could only feel a muted sense of fascination and awe. Her eyes widened at the sight even as Jötz sidled in front of her. She hadn't so much as glanced toward the clank dogs yet. She was sure she could dismantle them, figure out who they'd been kept working after generations underwater. There would be time for that later, assuming she wasn't reduced to a pile of gory, boneless Ivy insides.<br/><br/>The real mystery stood not three feet away, her pistol held even in one skeletal fist, an eerie, lipless smile that might have been charming if it weren't also terrifying.<br/><br/>""Th-th-thank -- "" she started, then stopped, because her voice had come out all husky, almost unrecognizable. She wasn't shaking, not yet, but that might have been just because she felt like she couldn't move. Even despite the fact her legs were like water.<br/><br/>""Thank you,"" she tried again, and was pleased when she sounded almost polite the second time around. ""But I'm not really a pirate. The arm thing is kinda new, actually. And it was an accident. Sort of."" She glanced nervously at Jötz, and then, very, very briefly, at something else, before turning her wide-eyed gaze back to Mr. Jacob Ludd. ""That gun,"" she lifted her good hand slowly, deliberately, and pointed. ""That's my friend's. I made it for him, and you took it. So...if you could give it back, or at least stop pointing it at us, we could probably discuss things like civilized people. Mama Petra would say even pirates are s'posed to have manners."" She chewed her lip, thought for a moment. Wondered briefly if her heart sounded as loud to the others as it did to her.<br/><br/>""I can read your code,"" she said. ""So...maybe we could make a trade."""

Shreds of mummified flesh fell away in the gesture, but he seemed to feel no pain as his fingers flayed his own decayed skin. “You mother must be an interesting woman,” he commented dryly, “to think that pirates can be civilized and should have manners. I can only assume she married into the family. That or times have changed more than I thought they might. Either way, I assure you, such assumptions are not only false but are so far from the truth to as to be scarcely be related to it. We can, however, be reasonable when the situation calls for it.”<br/><br/>The muzzle of the hand cannon did not waver once. “I doubt many people lose their hands on purpose. Well, there are always those few looking to improve themselves, I doubt that has changed in the past several hundred years! You don’t look the type though. The eyes aren’t quite wild enough.”<br/><br/>Dropping his free hand to his lap, and stirring up a small cloud of dust in the process, the dead man continued. “But… trade…” The words came clearly through his lipless mouth and desiccated tongue. “It sounds so….<i>honest</i>… so<i>wholesome</i>. I’m not sure my crew would stand for it.”<br/><br/>The mechanical hounds by the door growled threateningly, conveying that they were the crew and that they had their own opinions as to the habits of pirates.<br/><br/>“Still, it would be unreasonable to at least hear your offer,” he remarked genially. The animated corpse waved a hand in her direction. “After all, a scion of the House of Heterodyne must have something worthwhile to exchange for her life. Oh, we could battle but I think it would be a pretty close thing between my crew and your Jaeger bodyguard.”<br/><br/>Jötz managed to keep the look of surprise off of his face, instead forcing his eyes to narrow as if in suspicion as he eyed both the corpse and the clanks warily. “Her ladyship ist under my protection,” he lied smoothly, “und hy vill fight to da death to protect her!”<br/>The pirate’s dead body stood then, slowly and stiffly and with a great creak of long disused and leathery muscles. Sections of skin along the joins tore as he rose to his full height. He had been a tall man in life, and death had did very little to shorten him. His balding head with its few remaining strands of brown hair nearly brushed the ceiling. Still, the gun was kept pointed towards the pair.<br/><br/>“I thought as much,” came the cultured reply. Ghastly as his voice was, it remained urbane. “Even I’m not foolish enough to directly cross the Heterodynes. But you have trespassed, and I can not ignore that. I do have a reputation to maintain. Or rather I did. And I would like to keep it that way. So what is it that the Lady Heterodyne offers the great Captain Jacob Ludd?"""

Well. Miracle, or distraction. She had been watching bits of mummified flesh pile just under Jacob Ludd's decaying shin, caught somewhere between faint nausea and wonder. For some reason, she could not remove from her mind the image, texture, or taste of the jerky the Jaeger had given her a few hours prior.<br/><br/>""Um..."" she said, swallowing convulsively. She was still staring, wide-eyed, pale-faced, at the pirate's hand and chin and took another step back until she felt her shoulder's hit the bookshelf. Another heavy tome toppled to her feet, coughing up a cloud of dust. She jumped at the sound and turned her attention back to Ludd. And the gun. She found it felt rather like staring into eternity, peering down the relatively short muzzle she had refashioned only days -- or was it hours? -- ago.<br/><br/>""Treasure,"" she blurted suddenly, her gaze flicking briefly between the pistol and the empty eye sockets that were somehow still trained on her. ""Treasure. Gold and silver and...and all the riches you could ever carry."" She gestured around the ornate room. ""That's what pirates want, isn't it? Gold? Gold and...and other nice things?"" She felt her resolve tremble for a second and quickly reasserted herself.<br/><br/>""Castle Heterodyne!"" she said, and once she had spoken, there was no going back. Her plan would work, or it would not. The half a hundred possibilities that lay in between had vanished. Idly, she wondered what it would be like to die, and how soon she would be doing it.<br/><br/>""I can offer you Castle Heterodyne. Th-the whole...erm...the whole thing. Every hand at your service, and...and..."" she trailed off and remembered the offer.<br/><br/>""I could take you there now. But you have to promise to let me and my friend go."""

His entire body was too shocked for that! Of its own accord, he felt his head slowly turn in glacial speed towards her with a look in his eyes that said everything.<i>What did you just offer him?</i>The Jaeger had been hoping that Ivy was swift enough to bluff or lie or even just do the sane thing and let the construct handle it on her behalf. A Heterodyne did not compromise or surrender or talks terms of surrender! Not willingly at any rate, and even when they did it was usually through minions. But to offer the lich the source of much of the Heterodyne’s power and authority?<br/><br/>There was also the matter of the Castle currently being mad and murderous. It had always been the latter, but the former had not improved its disposition.<br/><br/>The skeletal pirate furrowed its brown, flakes of skin falling away from its forehead to expose its raw skull. “You are young, aren’t you?” he finally intoned. Ludd gestured to the bookcases that lined the walls of his cabin, barely a millimeter of the shelves clear of books. “<i>This</i>is my treasure, child.<i>These</i>are the riches I plundered from the great cities and libraries of Europa and the reasons the Storm King desired my head upon an electroplated platter. Gold and silver had their uses, yes. My crew needed paying, after all, although I managed to fix that problem well enough before my demise.”<br/><br/>The clank hounds behind them growled almost in unison at that, flashing eyes and steel teeth still faced towards the two intruders. Jötz still thought he could take them on his own, although it would be challenging if he couldn’t find their power source quickly enough. The trouble with clanks was that unless their energizing batteries were removed, they would just keep going and going and going… They were a little like bunnies that way.<br/><br/>“But to offer me the whole of your domain?” The pirate tried to smile, dried skin cracking and peeling in the process. “I hope you do not take me for a fool! I can not believe one as you is the current Heterodyne in charge, if you would forgive me to say so, for you are simply too young. To tempt me with so obvious a trap?” He shook his head like a school master scolding a pupil. “Do your parents even know you are out here, young lady?”<br/><br/>Jötz’s head whipped back around and snarled at the captain. “She made chou an offer, the word of a Heterodyne!”<i>One that is going to get me killed.</i>“Accept eet or don’t!”<br/><br/>Again that too dry chuckle. “While… tempting… The Castle Heterodyne and its environs is hardly on my list of desires. I am a pirate, after all. Tying myself down for too long in my new incarnation is not ideal. But if you should have the authority and power to offer me so much, Lady Heterodyne, then you should have little problem acquiring what I truly desire.”<br/><br/>The muzzle of the gun lowered ever so slightly. “I need a new body. A functioning, live one. I prefer that of a young, healthy male over any other, but a woman will do just as well. I am rather liberal about such things, after all.”<br/><br/>“They think me long dead, and they were right. Which means none of the towns or cities are expecting or prepared for my return after so many centuries. I dare say many have forgotten about me all together! So it is the perfect time for a comeback.”<br/><br/>Lidless eye sockets glowed very faintly with a sickly green light from deep within his skull. “Imagine the amount of knowledge that mankind must have gained in over the years! In combination with the lost lore I have in my collection? I shall hold the very secrets of the universe in living hands!”<br/><br/>Jötz tried not to sigh in exasperation. Alive? Dead? Some things about Sparks simply did not change. “A liv-ink body? Easy-peasy? Vhat color hair chou vant?”"

But had it been worth it to see the expression of muted bewilderment cross his face? Most definitely.<br/><br/>And<i>would</i>it be worth it to maybe shut up this rotting pirate king?<br/><br/>Well. That was much harder to say. But that was also future-Ivy's problem. Right-now-Ivy hadn't blown up a missing barge just to be stopped by a pile of bolts, screws, bones, and fancy silks.<br/><br/>Besides, Jötz had been keeping up well enough so far. This would just be another in a long and frustrating line of fun challenges for both of them.<br/><br/>Of course, as Ivy strode forward, the flush on her face quickly fading under a set jaw and green eyes cold and hard as ice, she was thinking about none of that. The only thought in her head was that this dead guy was<i>in her way</i>, and being extraordinarily rude to boot.<br/><br/>""That's<i>enough</i>.""<br/><br/>Baffled Jaeger, growling monster dogs, evil undead pirate. In an instant, all shifted from 'threat' to 'mere annoyance', and then Ivy was pushing right past Jötz, pushing the pistol,<i>her</i>pistol, aside, and glaring up the almost two feet into that putrid glow of green.<br/><br/>""Listen here, you molding pile of twigs,"" she growled, jabbing one finger into an area she roughly assumed to be Ludd's sternum, for once not unnerved by the continued sloughing of decaying flesh from his body, ""I don't care<i>who</i>you were in life, you've<i>never</i>been a Heterodyne. I could be a fly on the wall of the outhouse belonging to the lowliest Heterodyne servant, and my life, my<i>name</i>would still be thrice the legend you could sum up in yours. And if you want to leave this dusty excuse for a library any more than another layer of silt, you'll show some respect.<br/><br/>""For starters,<i>you</i>don't make the deals.<i>I</i>do. If you really think a handful of clanks -- "" Ivy waved a hand in the general direction of Ludd's dogs; at once, Petris sprang from its most recent hiding space crouched beneath the nearest of the small pack, extending one spindly leg to wrap around the joint between shoulder and forearm. There was a whirring sound, and then the clatter of metal as the foreleg fell away. The hound began to tip forward, growling its displeasure as Petris scuttled away again, now tucking itself away into the crevice of a bookshelf where the hounds would be forced to hack away at their master's 'treasure' to reach their new prey.<br/><br/>"" -- and a gun<i>I</i>made,"" Ivy went on, no small amount of smugness in her voice, ""a gun with no rounds left are going to scare me into doing anything for you, your brain is more rotted than you think, old man. How long have you been gone, to believe anyone even knows who you are? You are a story to frighten children, at best, and even those children are the dull-witted sort in backwater towns. In the city, you'll be nothing, less than nothing, and that<i>only</i>with the word of a Heterodyne at your back."" Ivy smirked and turned away, very deliberately putting her back to the former pirate.<br/><br/>""Now. The matter of this body -- assuming I decide to help you at all -- Don't you think your dogs would have turned up anything down here? We'll have to go into the next town one way or another."" There would be problems of their own sort there, of that she had no doubt. But that was a bridge to be crossed -- or burned -- when it came."
18801,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-11-06 01:27:00,Justric,"The Jaeger raised both eyebrows, clearly impressed and… proud? Ivy may not have been a Heterodyne but some kindred spark deep within seemed to have lit up when pressed against the wall. He couldn't help but grin widely at her verbal assault upon the undead pirate. Even the clank hounds seemed less inclined to growl at her, and that was before her little spider clank had neatly sliced off the one dog’s foreleg! For the first time in a while, Jötz began to feel as though he was on familiar ground.<br/><br/>The sickly green glow in Ludd’s eyes tracked Ivy as advanced upon him. Briefly, the sockets flashed red as though in warning or in anger as the girl ranted in the way that only a true Spark might, issuing threats and blustering her own self-importance over his own. When she turned her back on the lich, he lowered the hand with the gun. And then, when Ivy hinted that she might yet be willing to help, the gun was gently placed upon the desk.<br/><br/>“The current Heterodyne or not,” he murmured clinically, “you seem to have the general thrust. Although you remind me far more of… someone else.” The captain paused as though lost in thought and memory before continuing the conversation.<br/><br/>Ludd gestured with a skeletal hand towards the remainder hounds, which slunk off down the corridor until only their glowing yellow eyes could be seen lurking about the engine room. “You are… quite right, Lady Heterodyne,” he declared louder, “The hounds have a limited range. As my crew and guardians, they can not operate beyond a set perimeter without me and I? I can not leave this room. Physically, at any rate. I do have other methods of flexing my will albeit to a limited extent. Forgive me if I do not give you the particulars regarding those ranges and limits? Suffice to say that they would be great enough to cause you and your Jaeger considerable inconvenience should you be less than inclined to be helpful. And thank you for confirming that I am not remembered upon the surface! “<br/><br/>That same dry chuckle filled the stale air of the cabin again. “Oh, the libraries that I will loot! The repositories that I shall raid! Universities and schools to plunder! My treasure will be increased ten fold by the time I am ready to die again!”<br/><br/>Sitting back into his chair, he rested one hand upon the desk. “With a few additional repairs to my barge, I can take you to nearly any town or city of note so long as the canals are not blocked or drained. Even if the engines are in less than optimal condition the clank hounds can serve to tow us along.”<br/><br/>“Now you could refuse this deal, yes,” Ludd conceded willingly as though in casual debate, “although anything less than a swift agreement will lead to your joining me in a watery grave.”<br/><br/>The barge shuddered suddenly as the air was filled with the sounds of pressure hatches blaming shut throughout the boat, sealing them into the lower deck. “You see, if you don’t agree I will simply sink my boat. I’m dead already anyway, and since I am in no condition to make use of my treasure it is worthless to me. Not unless I get a new body. So I have nothing to lose really.”<br/><br/>“But! I will sweeten the deal. If you help me get a live human body to my specifications and bring me back to true life once more, you may take as many tomes from my shelves as you can carry by yourself. I assure you many of them are…. one of a kind… and most likely contain secrets that died with their authors.” Ludd hesitated and then honestly adding, “I might have had something to do with their deaths, admittedly.”<br/><br/>“But I will swear to you, on the heart of my lost love, that so long as you do not betray me, I will not betray you. I swear it on the name of Agnes St. Mayhew.”"

Ivy the Spark was gone, replaced by Ivy, the utterly baffled girl.<br/><br/>""Did you say...St. Mayhew?"" she repeated dumbly before she could stop herself. ""Agnes...?"" The given name wasn't familiar, but the surname...the same one emblazoned on a thin silver disk with a strange symbol beneath...the surname she'd been<i>found</i>with when the Bartch's had adopted her, taken her home squalling to wake the dead, covered in a thick layer of inexplicably green mud...the surname she knew. She'd kept it, at Mama Petra's insistence, though she'd not been so keen in her early days. Her name, like her dark hair and gray-green eyes, so different from the blonde-haired, blue-eyed siblings she'd adopted as her own, was one of several things to separate her from her new family, a fact made all the more painful by the fact that she could not remember the one that had abandoned her.<br/><br/>""Uh..."" said Ivy, now finally turning to Jötz, her expression somewhere between<i>Did <b>you</b> hear that?</i>and<i>HELP ME!</i>. She was vaguely aware she was losing whatever tenuous hold on the situation she'd managed, but she wasn't quite sure how to stop that. Her mind was still in a whir, only this time, there were no far-fetched solutions, no water-powered light cannons, or steam-driven wolf clanks. There were only questions. Where, when, how, who?<br/><br/><i>Why?</i><br/><br/>""Um..."" Ivy said again, slowly turning back to Ludd as she struggled to come up with at least a temporary solution. She needed answers from him, yes, but they would amount to nothing without the right questions. And if her name gave her the leverage she thought it might -- and that leverage could prove beyond valuable -- she couldn't afford to show her hand just yet.<br/><br/>But what a hand to hide!<br/><br/>""I...will consult with my body guard,"" Ivy stammered eventually. ""The plan is...agreeable,"" she added, trying to sound reluctant, and succeeding only in sounding a little congested. ""But we...erm...we are going to sort out the...uh...details. Yes. Details. Come, minion!"""

It has an ante-chamber for your Jaeger. My apologies for the decor, Lady Heterodyne. Clank hounds, while making an excellent crew and guard, are the not the best of housekeepers. I will be here when you have finalized your plans.” Ludd sniffed through his rotted nose cavity. “Not that I can physically be much of anywhere else at the moment.”<br/><br/>Jötz kept his expression bland even as his own mind raced. There had been no missing the look of confusion upon Ivy’s face when she had turned to the Jaeger, however much she might have tried to mask it when addressing the pirate captain. He followed her out, snatching up the firearm on the way and holstering it neatly with a barely concealed look of dislike at Ludd. There was no point in further hostilities. That did not mean he had to like the current situation or their adversary any better. Enemies acting nice usually meant more trouble later on down the line.<br/><br/>Escorting Ivy to their assigned quarters, he made sure the door was firmly shut and locked behind him before continuing. The suite had been luxurious once. A large canopied bed was tucked against the one side, it sheets moth-eaten and dusty, but dry. The other side contained an elegant writing desk with matching bookcase besides it, and then a doorway what looked like some sort of bathing chamber. Like much of the rest of the barge’s rooms, the wooden floor was somewhat warped from generations of moisture, and the golden flocked wallpaper was peeling in long strips. The smell of mildew was strong.<br/><br/>“Not bad,” Jötz annoucned blandly as he looked about judiciously. “Hy’s been in worse. A few pillows, a few t’row rugs, maybes ve gets an iron maiden fur da corner? Be right at home!”<br/><br/>“Zo. Vhat ist next? Chou gonna build a death ray, melt his bones like so much puddink?” Without looking at Ivy, Jötz set his pack and several other bits of gear onto the bed. Despite the age, the mattress did not sag with the weight of it all, and Jötz trusted to take his weight as he sat and started to reload his pistol with the few rounds left. “Chou did some gut bluffink back der, chou know dat? Only vhat vas dat bit at da end? Chou looked like someone valked over chou grave!”<br/><br/>Looking up then, his monster’s eyes took in the sight of a small picture frame upon the desk. Frowning, he gestured to it. “Und how come he’s got a painting oft chou over der? S’not a gut likeness. Chou ist prettier dan dat! Not as pretty ast me, but vhat chou gonna do?”"
18804,Never Lose Your Hat!,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18845-never-lose-your-hat,['1x1'],2014-11-27 17:59:00,DotCom,"Ivy didn't say a word as she led their small party down the hall and to their quarters. She hadn't really heard what Ludd had said (or what Jötz was saying now), but she managed to find the somewhat antiquated room anyway, as if her feet had already known the way. And the truly upsetting part, of course, was that they might have.<br/><br/>Still quietly oblivious, Ivy walked into her room, straight to the desk, pulled out the chair and sat, only to hop back up a second later, her arms (or what remained of them) wrapped around her middle, her fingers chafing at the gooseflesh there. She clenched her jaw to keep her teeth from chattering, but she couldn't make herself stoping shivering, and the whole time, Ludd's last words kept playing in her mind:<i>I swear it on the name of Agnes St. Mayhew</i>.<br/><br/>Muttering, Ivy began to pace even as Jötz sat to reload his weapon. It wasn't until he said ""gut likeness"" that she remembered him, looking over sharply her expression that of a sleepwalker who'd just been rudely woken.<br/><br/>""We're not killing him,"" she snapped distractedly. She stopped pacing to face him, though she was still rubbing her arms and hadn't actually<i>looked</i>at him yet. ""He...he has stuff we need. Books and...and stuff.""<i>Answers,</i>she thought, but she didn't say it.<br/><br/>It was then she caught sight of the portrait Jötz mentioned and, frowning, moved toward it until she was standing just before the desk again. She took a breath and made herself stop shaking for just long enough to take the picture frame up without sending it crashing to the floor. Immediately, she could see what the Jaeger meant. The picture was not of her, she knew that. It was far too old, the landscape in the background -- a field of stars behind a moon that seemed too close; billowing sails to either side -- was nothing she'd ever seen before. But she could see the likeness, too. Unruly midnight curls, wide-set green eyes. Freckles on high cheeks bones, and an expression that said ""I'm only still here because I love you and I'm daydreaming anyway"".<br/><br/>It was at once haunting and wonderful.<br/><br/>""We're not killing him,"" Ivy said again, calmer now as she set down the picture and turned back to Jötz, her eyes alight with the beginning of a manic grin. ""We need him.<i>I</i>need him."" She paused, considered, then shrugged. ""That picture isn't me. I think it's...my grandmother. My great-great-great-great grandmother. Give or take a couple greats."""

Here was a turn of events he was not expecting, to say the least. “Vait, vait, vait,” he pleaded as he sat down on the desk’s rickety chair. To his surprise, it held his weight. “So chou ist tellink me dat dis guy had da hots fur chou great grandma-maa? Und because of dat, ve can’t kill him?! Not to mention he ist already dead, so I gots to figure out how to make him deader dan he ist now! Oooh, boy.”<br/><br/>Reaching up with one clawed hand, he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Vhy ist nuttink easy mit chou?” After a moment, the Jaeger was on his feet and gesticulating towards the door. “So he had a ting fur her?! So vhat?! Chou ist not her, und he knows nuttink ‘bout chou, Ivy! Not to mention dat he tinks chou ist a Heterodyne now! How to explain dat?! Und vhat vas dat about offerink him de Kestle Heterodyne?! De Kestle might have someting to say about dhat! Not to mention Baron Wulfenbach und de rest of de Jaegerkin! Ve should chust get him a body und go somevhere vhere ve gets chou arm fixed up good, ja? After all, like my own vatter said to me vonce -“<br/><br/>A sudden disturbing thought struck Jötz then, and before he quite knew what he was saying he drawled out, “Ivy, if dhat picture ist oft chou great-great-great-great-great-und-den-some grandma-ma… und if dhat picture ist here on his boat… und ift she vere his sveetheart…”<br/><br/>He looked at the young Spark full in the eye. “Vhat if he ist chou great-great-great-great-great-und-den-some<i>grandpa-pa</i>?! Not all Sparks have great relations mit der relations! Not like da Heterodynes! If Ludd ist like de ancestors oft any oft da Fifty Families, chou could be in fur a vorld of disappointment come da next family reunion!”"

She froze midstep, and held his gaze even, so many questions rushing through her head, even she was sure what exactly she was thinking. Embarrassment (and subsequent, fiery, defensive rage) at having been caught in a blatant Heterodyne lie aside...what if he was right? What if<i>she</i>was right?<br/><br/>It was clear from Ludd's musings he had been, at the very least, familiar with a woman -- and a Spark -- who looked, and apparently acted quite a bit like Ivy. And if Ludd was supposed to have been dead long enough for children to tell ghost stories, where was this phantom woman?<i>Who</i>was she that she could capture the heart of a feared dread pirate? And how had Ivy ended up so far from house and home?<br/><br/>Ivy realized suddenly she was staring without quite seeing anyway and turned away abruptly somewhere between dismay and shame. Her eyes fell just briefly on the dusty bed with its dusty coverlet in the corner, and she thought, for an instant, how nice it could be to sleep forever. She all at once felt as thought she had been walking her whole life, that she and Jötz had fallen into the canals not the night before, but centuries earlier, when her great grandmother was still sailing the skies with whatever had been before the skeleton in the next room.<br/><br/>""All the more reason to get some answers before he realizes who I am,"" Ivy said abruptly, tracing star-shaped patterns in the dust on a low shelf with her remaining fingers. ""We can't kill him yet. Not if we don't have to. We're going to...we're going to head to the next town. We're going to play his game, for now.""<br/><br/>At her hip, Petris poked one spindly leg from the pocket of her apron, prodding the air like a curious dog sniffing for meat. Ivy didn't notice.<br/><br/>""And in the meantime,"" she began slowly, chewing her lip as an idea began to form in her head, ""I want you to tell me everything you know about Jacob Lubb."""

Killing things was the way to go! It’s what Jaegers did best! It was what<i>he</i>did best! Especially if said killing involved a great deal of mess and screaming. Only now, she wanted a story instead, a story that he only half remembered himself from his grandmother’s knee long before he even dreamed about becoming a Jaeger. The loyalty to House Heterodyne had always been there, of course. Those who didn’t put their faith in the masters of Castle Heterodyne usually didn’t live in Mechanicburg for very long, one way or another. The townsfolk of that key city were fanatically loyal to the Heterodynes, and becoming a Jaeger had only increased that loyalty.<br/><br/>“Jake O’Blood,” he drawled eventually. Jötz paused again to dig at something caught in his one tooth, the singe talon neatly pulling clear a bit of gristle he had missed after his last meal. “He vas from someplace called Thule, but vas raised Englisch, hy knows dat much. Only he didn’t stay der. Ludd vast exiled, I tink, some scandal or sometink like dat. My granny mentioned that Ludd didn’t like de new leaving machines dat vere all da rage, vas convinced dat dey vas part of some plot to take over da vorld. Or at least England. Zo? He goes around mit a bunch oft other peoples und makes dem all go bang! De local big men didn’t like dat so much, so dey goes after him, only den it turns out dat he vast right all along, de schmart guy! But de Guilds, dey gots to save face. So he gets taken to de Queen und she ist told, ‘Hey, dis ist one baddy ve gots here, look at that he’s done!’ But de Queen isn’t schtupid. She knew vhat Ludd had done. Only she need them big bosses in der Guilds for her plans, zo she sends Ludd off with lots and lots of money.”<br/>As the more he spoke and the more he thought on it, the more curious Jötz became himself. It had been several decades since he had heard any of the stories at all, and what details as weren’t lost over time were just as easily twisted by a five year old boy’s perceptions as he listened to his elders by the hearth. Jötz found himself scanning ahead mentally as he told Ivy what he knew. He became wrapped up in both the telling and the recollection of it all to the point where his sharp eyes became slightly distant; they were focused not on the room they shared now, but instead upon the images the yarns had spun in his head as a boy.<br/><br/>Unknown to him, distracted by his own thoughts, his thick accent began to slip into something softer and less harsh.<br/><br/>“Vhen Ludd gets to Europa, he uses all dat money to build a library. Greatest library ever, he wanted, somevhere in Belgium. Not only dat, but he wanted to have a Grand Index! So that if der was a book you wanted, and if he didn’t have it, you could look uo who might have it. He vanted to share knowledge mit everyone so dat everyone could prosper, or something like dat. The canals were built by him to do just dat, make it easier for folks to find stuff out und do research und to share ideas; the canals vere supposed to go to every major city dat had a library.<br/><br/>“The canals also allowed for better trade between cities. No trains yet, chou see? So de Bargefolks and Canallers were people hired by Ludd to transport goods and, more importantly, books. Big trade, lots of money for everyone, everyone happy, yes?<br/><br/>Jötz shook his head sadly. “Only de other schmart guys, they didn’t want to share. Dey hoarded der books and libraries like gold, und books dat Ludd’s libraries lent out didn’t come back to him most of de time. In fact, a bunch of dem gets ideas in der heads, and dey attack and sack Ludd’s library while he’s away doing something or other. When he gets back, he vast hopping mad. Ludd says something like, ‘If they don’t want to share, then I’ll have to steal.’ Und dat’s when Jacob Ludd became dis pirate guy, Jake O’Blood. He used the canals to raid cities and steal whatever wasn’t nailed down, killing anyone who got in his way until even de Heterodynes say, ‘Whoa, dat is too much!’ So de Storm King comes along und tries to stomp on Ludd. Only Ludd disappeared before the army de Strorm Kind sent could find him! They say dat Ludd made off with half the books of Europa, never to be seen again, not even at his library! Den again, dey say dat the Mongfishes got der first und looted whatever was left before burning it to de ground. So there’s no knowing how much of his treasure he took with him and how much the other families stole away.”<br/><br/>“Und dat’s it,” he finished apologetically. “Ludd vast a good guy mit great ideas on helpink everyone out, but in de end? Eh. He killed und stole und unleashed crazy, Spark mad ting on innocent pipples, same as any other Spark.”<br/><br/>The Jaeger brought his narrative to a close, looking at Ivy critically. “Ist you okay? Chou look like chou ist ready for sleepy-sleep.” He coughed as delicately as a constructed death-dealing monster could. “Und, ah, der is only de one bed. Dis floor?

It was in regards to the most recent conflict on the planet below, one which was in effect finished in large part thanks to the primary subject of the document he now read, Aura James Kalstov. The forces of Chaos seemed to know more than him once again and as always he hated it, he longed for psykers or sorcerers who could read the future or see plans the way theirs could. This lone woman had been so important he was certain now that they had set some sort of trap for her to sacrifice her in a ritual of some kind. Based on her report it seemed like a normal summoning ritual to open a way for daemons to enter the material world but something was off, they should have wanted more than one yet they just wanted her for it. Then there was what she did, it was all impossible, she should have been cut down instantly by those astartes instead she killed them all and ruined their attempts at summoning. He knew she was the key to this, the initial tests had been done and she did not have the signs of a normal psyker but that did not preclude such a thing as he had run into enough oddities among witchkin to understand that she could be Ahriman himself in disguise and he would never know it until something more powerful forced her true form to be revealed.<br/><br/>For now though he was exploring different options he had a piece of parchment next to his feet with all his ideas written out so far with everything from, ""Luckiest girl in the Imperium"" to ""Saint Celestine reborn"" though nothing stuck in his head yet. His strongest idea was that she was touched by the Emperor and potentially a future saint. Though not far behind was that she was touched by the warp and that one of the dark gods had some nefarious plan for her to do something like spawn some new warp storm. Either way he had to keep eyes on her for now.<br/><br/>His musings were interrupted by a knocking at his door, with the paranoia indicative of an inquisitor he took his bolt pistol from his desk and prepared to aim it at the door while also throwing himself to the floor. With his other hand he pressed a button under his desk and the door to his room slid aside, a lone stormtrooper took a few steps inside before speaking to the inquisitor, ""Sir, we have the subject in interrogation room A1 ready for you.""<br/><br/>Relaxing slightly recognizing the trooper he put his feet down but kept the bolt pistol ready under the desk, ""Good, I will be there momentarily,"" placing the document he had been reading on the desk he looked at another with his other primary concerns either daily or of late, the tyranid hybrid had been fed lately with a whole grox given to him and his eldar<i>friend</i>was had been given a handful of heretical prisoners a few days ago to occupy him since they expected a boon of several more as the clean up on the planet below continued. Standing up he holstered the bolt pistol and grabbed a power sword that had been leaning against his desk securing it to his belt as well. He took a moment to make himself properly presentable for a first impression, he had a bit of scruff on his chin but figured it did not detract too much from his overall appearance, his hair was cut short naturally as you never know when you might have to grapple someone, and as for what he wore his block overcoat emblazoned with the Inquisitorial sigil in gold on both sides over top of a black undershirt and black pants gave him a simple but he figured somewhat intimidating look, exactly what he aimed for.<br/><br/>Striding from the room the stormtrooper followed after him down the corridors to the interrogation room, he then recalled his newest addition to the vessel, ""Stormtrooper, find me Interrogator Cassius and tell her I request her presence in interrogation room A1, if she does not know where that is escort her there.""<br/><br/>""Yes sir,"" the stormtrooper promptly broke off from following the inquisitor and went off down another corridor to the interrogator's own luxurious room elsewhere among the VIP berthing.<br/><br/>It took a few minutes of walking to get down to the A-series interrogation rooms which differentiated from the B-series rooms in that they were not against the hull of the ship and able to be vented into space and being meant for cordial interrogation rather than the more, severe, interrogations of the B-series rooms. Still they were unlikely to be considered pleasant by the occupant as the rooms consisted of lone bright glow-globe at the top center of the room, two chairs, and a table. The one Aura was in would be the same as all the others. Approaching room A1 he saw the two stormtroopers who had escorted the guardsman to the room still stood at the door their hellguns ready as they naturally swept the corridor with their eyes behind the helmets of their carapace armor.<br/><br/>""Is she in there?"" he asked at the stormtrooper alreay knowing the answer.<br/><br/>""Yes sir, we brought her directly from the Imperial Guard forward base by flyer as per orders."" The stormtrooper responded in a crisp military tone.<br/><br/>""Good, if she said anything be sure to file it in your report, also be sure to remember any odd actions she may have taken, I want every detail you can give me after I talk to her,""<br/><br/>""Yes sir,""<br/><br/>With that short exchange done the second stormtrooper opened the door and as expected Aura was already inside. At first he said nothing to her walking directly to the table and placed a datapad on the table facing him, ""First I want your name, home planet, and unit, then I want you to tell me exactly what happened down there when you saved the day trooper,"" he fixed her with a steely glare looking at her with his dark brown eyes, ""And if you are wondering who I am, I am Inquisitor Markus Aultellus of His Holy Ordos so be sure you speak plain and true."""

The woman's chestnut hair spilled over to the middle of her neck, kept close to her head as a result of the helmet that sat on the table In front of her. She was still clad in a damaged suit of Carapace Armor, with entire chunks missing from the thighs and arm plating as a result of the efforts of the second Marine. The armor was a faded grey, since the world she'd been fighting on only hours before was a very rocky, inhospitable World. Her eyes, A shade of purple common on her world just as it was on the planet of Cadia, rested on the data pad in front of the inquisitor. The inquisition was something to be feared, something that both of her regiments had spoke of as though they were some form of boogie-man.<br/><br/>Ceasing her quick examination of the man before her, she calmly took a breath and said ""Sergeant Aura James Kalstov, Noracles Five, 132nd Infantry, or rather what's left of it."" His next question, however, was much harder to answer. She knew the odds of facing not only ten corrupted guardsmen, but also two space marines, and coming out not only alive, but as the victor, were astronomical. How and why she was able to do it was no doubt what he was interested in.<br/><br/>Drawing a breath, she decided to present the story as best as she could. ""Well,"" she began ""My squad was sent out by the regiment's colonel to cut off the head of the enemy's command structure. It was a suicide mission and every member of my team knew it, but we had our orders. We inserted via grav-chute, only faced token resistance on the way into their HQ building. I was on point, like always, when I walked into a massive chamber. The door behind me immediately slammed shut and separate me from my squad. Before I knew it a Marine was charging at me with a big blade that practically oozed chaos.""<br/><br/>She took a moment here to draw another breath before continuing on ""For some reason, I suppose because of all my training and combat experience, I wasn't scared. With the help of my HUD, I was able to slag his head with my hellgun."" She punctuates this statement with a tap on her helmet, a light smile on her face. She'd have to remember to give the helmet's machine spirit thanks after she was done here.<br/><br/>Forging on, she resumed ""That's when the warp portal appeared, like a terrible scar on reality in the center of the room, and I saw a massive daemon trying to push through the portal. I dove into cover and considered my options before deciding on the best course of action. I jumped over the low wall I'd used as cover and immediately the other marine was shooting at me. Thank the Emperor, his aim was off and myan wasn't, so I beheaded the traitor with a burst through the neck. By then the warp spawn was almost through and I was running out of options, and armor, so I cut my backpack off, over loaded it and threw it then threw a frag In with it. The Archenemy were all wiped out, and so was the rift, and then the door opened. My squad had accounted for two more astartes and we were pulled back to the field base, where I was told my regiment was wiped out, then your boys took me from my squad and brought me here before I could even take off my suit."" This last bit held some obvious resentment, and anyone with half a brain could tell Aura was quite upset at being separated from her team."

Interrogator Anna Cassius of the Ordo Malleus sat in a high backed chair, staring into the eyes of a psyber-raven, the robotic black bird tilting its head as the knock sounded once more. The woman's eyes narrowed and glanced to the side, and her hand wrapped around the barrel of the hellrifle that rested against the desk. Slowly standing, she readied the gun, resting the barrel atop the back of the chair. With a small gesture, the psyber-raven flew onto the Interrogator's bed, and led out a pre-recorded command in Anna's voice, ""Enter.""<br/><br/>The door opened, and a stormtrooper entered. The woman's muscles relaxed, and she raised the rifle up. The trooper paused and stared at the bird, who flew over to land back on the desk behind Anna. His helmeted gaze followed, and she could feel his uneasiness from where she was, even if she couldn't read it on his face. A passive frown covered her face as the narrowed eyes remained, the woman waiting to hear whatever he had to say.<br/><br/>The trooper coughed, and averted his gaze away from her. Unlike most people on the ship, Anna wasn't paranoid enough to be in full body armor at all times. As such, her current state of dress was rather lacking, causing the man to take a few moments to compose his words. ""Ma'am, Inquisitor Aultellus requests you in Interrogation Room A1, immediately.""<br/><br/>A sigh escaped the woman, who rose a hand to rub at her temples. ""Thank you, trooper. Please, wait outside the door while I ready myself. Is it about Kalstov?"" A brief nod answered her. ""Yes, I've read the report, I have it hear, will look over it. Now, go wait."" The man obediently exited the room and stood outside, and Anna made haste to dress herself. In but a minute, she was in full formal attire, lacking only the wide-brimmed hat. Leaving it, she pulled the long coat over her, and belted it around her waste. Her hellrifle was shoved into the holster on her back, and she let out a little whistle. In an instant, the psyber-raven was perched upon her shoulder, and in her hands was a datapad with the Kalstov Report displayed on it.<br/><br/>She exited her room, and made her way towards the interrogation rooms, the stormtrooper falling in step behind her. Likely, it had started without her. Grey eyes stared down at the pad, going over the report for the upteenth time. Short strands of black hair framed her pale face as she glared down at it, the psyber-raven looking just intently at it. As she neared the interrogation room, she looked up and shoved the datapad into the hands of the stormtrooper, and pushed her way into the room. She was able to hear the last bit of the story, about the regiment being wiped out, but she didn't need to hear any of it.<br/><br/>Anna and the raven both gave the woman a sideways look, the woman narrowing her eyes momentarily, then Anna stood at attention behind the Inquisitor, hands folded behind her back. The aura of unease around her engulfed the room, and her eyes settled on the woman. ""Interrogator Cassius, reporting for duty, sir,"" she said calmly, the raven muttering something indistinct into her ear. ""What would you have of me?"""

They thought it was all about pain. It was not. It was never about pain. Of course, there was no point in trying to explain it to them. Pain was all they knew so pain was all they saw. Pain was all they smelt. Pain was all they felt. Pain was their entire universe and still they knew nothing of it.<br/><br/>What they knew of pain was the loss of a limb. To have one's fingers carefully, exquisitely sheared off, on knuckle at a time. The feeling of having their bodies turned alight with the white-hot agony of neural excruciation. They thought pain of the body was all there was. Some, the clever ones, understood pain of the mind. They knew the pain of loss, of helplessness, of the fear that writhes in your belly, the phantom sensations that burned into the psyche after each session on the slab. They knew the agony of anticipation, they soul-searing suffering of compromising one's mind to preserve one's body, the pain of hearing the screams of a loved one that would not or could not be helped.<br/><br/>The most perspicacious knew pain of the spirit. They knew the loss of faith and morality that came from pain, the abandonment of sanctity that comes with true suffering. It was one thing to cower in fear from pain, another to fall into desperation to secure its relief. But worse still was the pain that was self-inflicted, with no coercion, no collusion. The pain of being striped of all pretense and be made to recognize one's own perversity. To lose one's very identity to the pain.<br/><br/>That was real pain, that was true suffering. To make mothers feast on their children, to make fathers beg not for an end to pain but for its continuation. That was the real art. That was the real purpose. And that was what he always remembered as he went about his work.<br/><br/>Slender, bladed fingers cradled the thing's head. No, it was not about the pain. He looked into the things's unblinking eyes. The think looked back. There was fear in those eyes, and miscomprehension. There was pain too. Mostly though, there was ignorance. The thing did not know yet the purpose for it's pain. It could not fathom the exquisite zenith of art and knowledge that it's suffering ineffable lead to. It did not understand, as he peeled its flesh off of it's face, that he wanted more than the base sadism of his kith and kin. It did not understand and he knew no way of communicating to the creature the deep designs for which it bled. He tried, he had spoken with it as he carved into it's gums, removing them from it's skull with a wet pop, but by then it had no words with which to convey its understanding. When he bored into it's ear canal and scooped out all the extraneous flesh from it's skull it lost the ability to hear his gentle explanations at all. But still, even now, bereft of most of it's base flesh it was aware. As he carved his foul runes into the inside of it's jaw and carefully etched the sigil of the Mon-Keigh Inquisition into the bloody bone of it's forehead he hoped it took solace in knowing that it's existence would still have means, greater know than it ever had before his loving caress. If nothing else it might take solace in the belief that it's labors would be in nominal service to it's primitive, heathen god-king.<br/><br/>Vix made a strange alien sound, almost a purr, almost almost a caw, almost a yawn. Rising from his place amidst the minutia of the things former life, he carefully stepped around the neatly stacked piles of bone and skin and sinew. Lifting the skull-thing, he placed it on the shelf with all the others. All those eyes, unblinking with no eyelids to blink, staring out with pain and fear the likes of which no mortal man could suffer to imagine. Vix bared his teeth back at his arrayed creations, their skeletal grins belaying none of their lack of appreciation for his ministrations. He would have to show the Inquisitor his latest work. Perhaps it was immodest of him, but Vix was certain it was his finest attempt yet. These 'servo-skulls' would be wonderful additions to the menagerie, held aloft by the wisdom of the Eldar, and moved by the very much still living brains of their original occupants, he could not help but feel a small amount of pride in his work, more nuanced and sophisticated than anything the mon-keigh had managed to create.<br/><br/>Thinking on the Inquisitor, Vix's smile turned sharper still. He was no fool. He knew when the masters used treats to placate their beasts. His latest materials were little more than an effort to distract and sate the Eldar in exile. To prevent him from making his particular presence known to the Inquisitors new pet. If Vix was given the have regard for the opinions of base creatures, he might find the notion insulting. Instead, it almost brought amusement. Mores the pity that the Inquisitor was not more comfortable with Vix's assistance, his interrogations were always more...informative with Vix around.<br/><br/>Still, Vix was sure he'd get his chance to drink of the new pet soon enough. More than he ever got with any of the others in any case. Vix still chaffed slightly from the Inquisitor's insulting refusal to allow Vix to have the Inquisitor's pet IllMureead creature, a beast with which Vix was especially interested in.<br/><br/>A small, involuntary whimper drew Vix from his spiteful reverie. He turned his face back towards the darkest corner of his domain. Ah, of course, he had almost forgotten. He still had one more collection of material as yet unused. It sobbed and soiled itself in the corner. No sense letting it spoil. Besides he had a particular use for this one.<br/><br/>The creature of cruelty and vision known as Vix stalked towards the fear-frozen heretic to the God-Emperor, his movements languid and predatory. Painfully thin and sharp limbs extending to claim it's flesh. He smiled in what he knew was by no means a reassuring manner and wrapped his bladed gauntlets delicately around it's throat. He wondered if it would understand, if during it's transformation, this one would know that there was about so much more than the pain."

There was nothing he could read that set anything off in his head so he knew this would be a longer interrogation. Near the end of the woman's story his new interrogator arrived. Turning to her he decided to respond to her first, ""I assume you have read the report Anna,"" he took the barest of moments after using her first name to check for a reaction from his un-asked for familiarity with her before continuing, ""Therefore I wish for you to live up to your title. What we have here is a enigma, a conundrum, an impossibility."" At this he look at the guardswoman sidelong before turning to face her.<br/><br/>""Have you ever seen power armor before trooper? Catching two astartes in the head and finding a weak spot is not something easily done. See armor is meant to protect vital areas more than most, naturally joints have to allow movement which is why those areas are reinforced as they can be. You see the helmet is meant to take a solid hit and keep a normal human alive, an astartes should have shrugged off a hit to the head from your gun and punched you through a wall. If you hit below there is a very strong ring of armor to deflect shots down and away. What this means is you hit exactly between the helmet and chest plate. This would have been an impossible task with a solid slug weapon since the round would not fit through the gap which you managed to hit firing off snap shots at an enemy bearing down on you, twice."" He balled his hands into fists and placed them both on the table looking down on the guardswoman giving her his best Inquisitorial glare before rising and turning to Cassius again.<br/><br/>""Interrogator, consider this part of your formal training, interrogate our subject here, I want you to find out how she survived, I want to know how she did the impossible."" With that he walked to one of the corners of the room and proceeded to lean against the wall staring directly at Aura awaiting for Anna to begin the process."
18859,"There is no Innocence, Only degrees of Guilt",IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18857-there-is-no-innocence-only-degrees-of-guilt,['Advanced'],2014-04-11 03:07:00,Spartan023,"Aura sighed, commenting ""Sir, with due respect, I have seen astartes armor before, in my first deployment and as I mentioned I was using a Hellgun, not some autogun plinker. It's designed to get through Astartes armor. I will grant you I shouldn't have lived, the marine with the knife should've close the gap before I could blink and the bolter shouldn't have missed. However, I'm afraid I can't offer you any explanation as to why I did the impossible. I fought hard but that's it.""<br/><br/>That said, Aura's hands rested comfortably in her lap, and they just happened to be clenched into gauntled fists. A real weapon they were not, however a punch from carapace armor still hurt like all get out. Aura didn't enjoy being treated like a lowly prisoner, especially not because she had done somethin like prevent the summoning of a daemon. Then there was the Interrogator herself, she gave off all the wrong vibes. Every instinct in the veteran's body told her that this woman was nothing but trouble, so she stayed wary."

The raven on her shoulder flapped its wings a few times, and landed on the table, giving Aura a good, long stare. Once her superior was finished with his questioning... or, rather, statements, she cleared her throat and sat in the chair directly across from Aura. Idly, her hand reached over to pet the raven between its wings, while her other hand reached behind to grab her rifle. She brought it around and down, laying it on the table near her. It seemed like an ancient hunting rifle, one someone would see on a primitive planet, not a single protective rune on it, the power of daemon coming off of it in waves.<br/><br/>She folded her hands in front of her, and let out a sigh. ""I apologize for my friend's wasting your time, stating what you've already known,"" Anna opened with, her face remaining blank. ""Let's get right down to it, then. Reports say you killed a number of Chaos Marines, and stopped a Greater Daemon from entering the Materium. I applaud what you've done there, Sergeant. However, as you may have noticed, it is quite the tale to believe, especially since you are simply a guardswoman, and something like that is normally handled by the Astartes, or the Malleus. Truly, I envy you. It's been a long time since I've gotten to go toe-to-toe with Greater Daemon."" A smirk came over her face, and she gave Aura a strange look.<br/><br/>""But this isn't about me,"" she continued. ""Even with a hellgun, dropping Astartes like that, and with only one, is unheard of. A single guardswoman should not have been able to do this, no matter how skilled. So, there are a few things that could have happened there."" She held up her hand, holding up a finger for each point she would bring up. ""The first, and likely the rumor circulating through your squad, is that you are blessed by the Emperor. The second is that this is all a ploy, you work for one of the Dark Gods, and you are simply trying to get higher in the Imperium and increase the Threat From Within. There is also the chance that you simply got lucky."" The three fingers she held up closed into a fist, which she gently laid down on the desk.<br/><br/>""Now, I don't believe in something like luck, so that takes down the third point. That leaves you as either blessed by the Emperor, or a pawn of the Dark Gods. Which do you think we are more inclined to believe, Sergeant Kalstov?"" A cruel smile was spread over her face, and the psyber-raven let out a menacing caw. ""You have five minutes to convince me that you are blessed, or I'll hand you back over to my friend there, and I can guarantee you that you'd rather deal with me. Tick-tock, Sarge."""

I keep the thing on me all the time, it sees everything I do. And riddle me this, inquisitor or interrogator or whatever your blasted title is, if I were tainted by the warp, why not perform some foul ritual on this ship the moment I got pulled in? It'd be a golden opportunity, or better yet, why stop a Greater Daemon from materializing at all? It'd pull plenty of favor from the Dark Gods, wouldn't it?""<br/><br/>Her purple eyes filled with righteous anger, she growled ""If you still doubt me then I can do no more, but I will fight to my last, and when I stand before the Emperor after I perish, my conscience will be clean. Can you say the same?"" With that, she dropped the carapace helmet in her hands on the table, fists balled, saying ""So what will it be? Do I continue to serve the holy emperor, or do I die here? It's your choice, so it would seem."""

It was amusing, to say the least. Once the helmet was slapped down and the woman was finished, Anna undid her hands and idly tapped the table with one finger. ""I can think of several reasons why you would do nothing the moment you reached this ship, most of which involve Tzeentch and a lot of plans. A pawn of Khorne wouldn't have the patience for this, an acolyte of Nurgle would have been teeming with plagues the moment they entered the ship to infect the lot of us. I doubt Slaanesh would go through the trouble of having her Astartes and one of her Greater Daemons destroyed just to get rid of a few Inquisitors when it could have had an entire planet. Leaving us with just the Lord of Fate to deal with.""<br/><br/>She raised her hand, holding up an index finger to silence anything anyone might say. ""However, you speak with conviction that I would not believe to come from anyone, save possibly the Alpha Legion. And I can tell that you are not under the influence of sorcery, so I have no reason to suspect you to be hiding any blessings from the Dark Gods. Adding all of this together, I have no reason to believe you to be one of their agents. Unfortunately, I don't believe you to be blessed by the Emperor either.""<br/><br/>Her gaze turned towards the helmet. ""Archimedes, please download the logs,"" she stated, and the psyber-raven descended onto the helmet. Its head was shoved inside, and after a minute, it popped back out, clicking its beak together. ""Thank you. I'll review these later. However, I doubt you will be simply released. If it were my decision, I'd have to confined to the ship until further notice, and possibly send you to a monastery to let the Sisters decide whether or not you are blessed. Unfortunately, that is not my decision."" She turned to look back at the Inquisitor in the corner, while Archimedes continued to glare at Aura. ""What say you, boss?"""

For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. <br/><br/>Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse. <br/><br/>To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.<br/><br/>Since the days of The Horus Heresy the Imperial Inquisition has stood resolute protecting the Imperium from the Alien, the Mutant, the Heretic. Each of these threats poses a grave danger to the Imperium ant he Inquisition uses everything at it's disposal to stop the spread of them. Some are said to take it too far, allying with some aliens to kill others, protecting mutants to, and even using the very power of the warp against itself. These who truly utilize any method possible, refusing no weapon, taking things to an extreme even most Inquisitors will not approach are known by one all encompassing name, <i>Radicals.</i><br/><br/>The bane of more pure members of the Inquisition just as much as enemies of the Imperium these men and women are often unpredictable and dangerous in ways a normal man or woman can never hope to understand. That is why they are needed, a weapon so dangerous even the wielder risks destroying himself upon it's blade is what is called for when facing the impossible odds the Inquisition must face daily and so while hunted by many, hiding their true nature, and forever surrounded by imminent death they march forward to form the unbreakable line to protect the Imperium of Mankind.</center><br/><br/><center>-----------</center><br/><br/>This is a WH40K RP in which people will be part of the retinue of a radical inquisitor the overarching plot will be revealed in time as the RP unfolds. Much of it will vary based on player actions naturally.<br/><br/>Speaking of players one thing to keep in mind is the kind of people a radical inquisitor would collect and incorporate. Highly skilled individuals, generally capable in combat, loyal either to the Imperium, hating it's enemies enough to be useful, or having some secret the inquisitor can hold over their head as blackmail. Almost anything goes though that would not turn against the inquisitor in a heartbeat or turn him over to the puritanical elements barring something keeping them in line such as blackmail or a coinciding agenda. Dark secrets are always fun and for this RP important things about your character that would not be general knowledge among the retinue go ahead and PM it to me.<br/><br/><b>Character Sheet</b><br/>I am not a huge fan of large complex character sheets this is basic and all I ask is enough here for myself and others to get an idea of your character. if you want to keep things secret for the most part I am fine with that just PM me, though you are not to have just appeared out of mist naturally. My own background will be loose for now as I hope to incorporate past exploits and everyone together, even if you are new to group then everyone will know of your joining and if you joined first then people will have known you as long as they have been in the retinue giving them some idea of what they are dealing with or at least the face you put forward.<br/><br/>Name:<br/>Appearance: You will need to blend in well enough with Imperial society so anything that would mark you out as something horrific, xenos, a heretic, whatever needs to be able to be covered by a robe and hood at minimum.<br/>Skills: Why the Inquisitor keeps you around<br/>Background: Where have you been and what have you done to make you who you are today.<br/><br/><b>Dramatis personae</b><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<br/>Name: Markus Aultellus<br/>Appearance: <img src=""http://i.imgur.com/6TtxSdj.png""/><br/>Skills: Markus rose to his rank with various skills both learned and natural with impressive deductive reason capability, superb pistol shooting,a skilled duelist with a blade, natural interrogator, strong willpower, and a quick wit.<br/><br/>Background: Markus was raised in his early years on a hive world in the deepest parts of the underhive of one of the largest hive cities. He likely would have lived out his life down there as one of countless millions like him if not for the simple fact his hive was falling to chaos and the world itself was at risk of following suit. The man who had turned this hive of billions was a single hierophant and the key to the hold chaos held on the world and so a inquisitor dispatched a cell to kill the hierophant and thus weaken the chaos forces before a proper response was sent.<br/><br/>During that time he was still young, barely more than a boy, in his time he had seen many strange things, mutants, underhive gangs, arbiters, and now more recently the cultists who came down to cull the underhive. These people were different though and despite his skills at hiding found him all too easily. They could not allow him to be released for fear of him revealing them though some did not wish to kill. He managed to save his own life by offering himself as a guide figuring that they wished to go higher into hive since he knew that nobody ever wished to stay in the underhive. This provided the leverage for those that wished to spare him was one of his first actions revealing his quick to members of the Inquisition. He did as he said leading the strange cadre of men and women up into the middle levels of the hive bypassing mas many cultists as possible ensuring the secrecy of the mission. His usefulness had come to an end but in knowing the fate of the hive they kept him with them as one of the uncorrupted members of the hive and a mere boy. Their mission was an eventual success pushing into the upper reaches of the hive and slaying the Hierophant as well as most of the other key heretics. Markus was enraptured by watching the amazing skills of the cadre seeing them doing seemingly fantastical things<br/><br/>Keeping with them he left his home with the inquisition cell out for the unknown galaxy. Over the years he learned a great many skills from various cell members and inquisitorial members. At first he was like a mascot even given a pair of oversized robes and a large =][= necklace as a bit of a joke. From inquisitorial stormtroopers though he learned how to shoot, how to fight like them, how to use explosives. From a death cult assassin he learned the uses of a blade, poisons, and stealth. It was they who gave him his surname even, someone of great renown in the sector though he knew nothing of them. From acolytes and logicians he learned a vast amount about the galaxy, logic, and acquiring knowledge. Even from a tech-priest he learned much of the ministrations for the technology of the Imperium. They found him a quick and willing student which helped to endear him to those he met as he grew into a young man. Once he was old enough there was little question of what he would do eventually being removed from the cell he had grown with and sent to another newly formed cell.<br/><br/>For years he served the Inquisition loyally rooting out heresy when he found it, putting down cultists, rounding up rogue psykers for death or the black ships. he was always learning trying to absorb more information. Despite growing up in an underhive he was voracious to learn, having his nose in a book just as often as in the sparring ring. The missions they went on became ever more dangerous though the cell managed no losses for quite some time. They were an effective force deducing hints to find what or who they searched for, at times their orders became strange but they always followed them and reported back to their Inquisitor. Their faith and loyalty were great strengths granting them the tenacity to succeed. Eventually that had to end, they were sent after after an enemy with little information aside from being enemies of the Imperium and being worthy only of death. When they arrived to a simple agri-world they prepared for their hardest fight yet but even then were not prepared for what they encountered, a daemonhost of inhuman power.<br/><br/>Markus and his cell tried to fight it, they used holy water, consecrated bolter rounds, holy swords, litanies of hate, and even your every day explosives. From that fight Markus alone survived his sword ended into the skull of the beast and the blade now broken in half and his allies dead about him. He meant the Inquisitor they responded to personally after that and was informed he was now an interrogator of his own. For several years he was sent away to learn at the hands of master in a hundred different fields, when he returned he was part of his Inquisitors retinue now following the man wherever he went or occasionally sent to supervise cells. The Inquisitor was a calm quiet man though ancient and powerful, He had an impossible number of secrets though over the years slowly revealed them to Markus. <br/><br/>Naturally the most damning of secrets he did not learn for years though learned a great deal from them. Such as on one mission, sent out on his own to meet with contacts of the Inquisitors on a far flung feral world. There he encountered a small group, he took them at first for monks of some kind though they moved with a strange fluid litheness and were abnormally tall. It was not until their leader pulled back her hood he learned that he was in the presence of Eldar, his first reaction was to go for his bolt pistol but knew he would be dead before he could even begin the draw so instead analyzed the situation as he was taught. Upon beginning discussion with the Eldar he realized his greatest fears on seeing them were true in that they were in fact the contacts he was sent to meet and were long associates of the Inquisitor. He acquired the information he was instructed to obtain and gave the Eldar a small black box he had never looked within in exchange. His Inquisitor asked him several questions when he got back and told him several things. <br/><br/>It was not until long afterwards he realized it had all been a test to see if he could think for himself or would let his indoctrination overtake him. As he had lived and progressed he had clearly passed beginning a long affair with interacting peacefully when Xenos when possible. His Inquisitor showed him much more of what would be considered heresy but each time showed him the results of those actions. The information from the Eldar allowed them to intercept an Ork WAAAAGH while it was still in space, binding a daemon allowed them to unleash it on the forces of an opposing dark god saving potentially thousands of guardsmen, nothing was truly sacred and everything was to further the aims of the Imperium and protect it's citizens. The puritans of the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy were the true enemies he learned, those who held back the Imperium from reaching it's greatest potential.<br/><br/>At last after aiding his Inquisitor in the great siege of Fort Vorvun where they held out for 3 months against a Chaos warband he was anointed as a Inquisitor in his own right. Since those days at the hand of his lord he has gone farther down the route of the radical, for nearly a century now he has fought the enemies of the Imperium collecting useful individuals along the way, treating with Xenos, working with heretics, protecting psykers, and even hindering the Ecclesiarchy at times. Thanks to his many allies though his age has not weakened him, if anything he has grown ever more powerful using xenos technology, rejuvenate drugs, and even undergoing surgeries considered heretical by the mechanicum. All this has only made him a greater weapon to protect the Imperium and destroy it's enemies.<br/><br/>His career on his own was instantly thrown in with other Radicals. On one of his first missions he performed a favor for another Inquisitor. A group of puritanical inquisitors had learned he was experimenting with the use of Xenos biological though he knew they could not prove it yet. He proceeded to lead them on a wild goose chase while Markus went to close down the primary lab. There the heretical scientists showed him their progress in merging human and tyranid DNA, overall he was not impressed. Countless failures were the subject was dead or might as well be while there were a handful of living specimens though these were mindless eating machines. Those he ordered to be sent to the frontline of the nearest warzone and unleashed against the enemy as shock troops. There was a single success though and this saved the scientists themselves from death. Alone in a room there was a man, if you could still call him that, with clear tyranid physical traits though the scientists told him he had only minor mental ones. Naturally Markus did not believe them but after a battery of tests could not die there was at the very least still a spark of humanity within him. Taking this single success to his ship Markus could easily imagine the potential such a beast had and sent scattered the scientists across a dozen sectors under new programs. Over the many years he developed some affinity for the hybrid. It's fierce hatred for Xenos and loyalty made it all to willing to throw it's life on the line for him which as an inquisitor he naturally exploited occasionally while being easy to maintain eating anything living having been devised from gaunt DNA.<br/><br/>Another momentous change in his early career was on one mission meant to be very simple. A traitor general was the target and Markus was engaging he had brought a few teams of stormtroopers to kill her but scarcely had he gotten into position for the surgical strike when the stumbled into the trap of another. For reasons still Markus is unsure of a lone eldar had been pursuing the general as well and he triggered the eldar's trap. Markus personally engaged the Sylrys Vix his new opponent and they dueled blade to blade though the springing of the trap and aroused the attentions of the traitor general. She brought her entire personal guard of one hundred guardsmen against them thinking it sufficient. Her foolishness cost her as the haemonculus proved to be a match for more than a dozen guardsmen alone while bringing horrifying beasts to battle as well while Inquisitorial Stormtroopers easily cut down the inferior trained and equipped guardsmen their flak armor and lasguns a large gap from the carapace armor and hellguns the black clad stormtroopers utilized. When enough were cut down a gap was broken their lines into which both he and the eldar rushed striking down the traitor with several degrees above overkill. <br/><br/>With their mutual enemy they turned to each other and it seemed their duel might have resumed if not for over two dozen hellguns arrayed against the now lone eldar. Initially he had planned to interrogate and then either kill or hand off the eldar to be experimented on but something struck him in their discussions. This eldar was a phenomenal oddity having willingly abandoned his brethren in their hidden city and struck out on his own. He even found a bit of a kindred spirit in the ways of exploring and finding new things and so Markus offered him a chance to travel with him which the eldar naturally accepted. For decades now they have traveled together an odd pair, perhaps not friends or comrades but certainly not enemies. The eldar given hundreds of heretics and traitors to perform his experiments on as well as a vast series of rooms to contain them in while occasionally putting his skills to aid the inquisitor against his enemies.<br/><br/>For decades Markus fought against the Emperor's enemies using any tool at his disposal managing to slide under the radar of the more puritanical members of the inquisition only rarely being noticed by them and even then often easily throwing them off the scent. Most members of his retinue were short lived and was never inclined to take on an interrogator. His most recent addition to his team until now was a guardsman, one who stood out more than almost any before him. Jacobus Sammael Raus, a man not even from an advanced world. Despite this when his own world was attacked by orks he alone of several regiments managed to survive where thousands died. For months somehow the man lived in the hostile land of an ork overrun world. His survival was not even known until Markus arrived on planet with an Inquisitorial detachment and began the purge of the planet. Only once it began was he discovered with all the signs of having survived that time and having even fought the entire time. He was naturally debriefed and questioned about the event and in the end was found to be still loyal to the Emperor of Mankind. Such a skilled survivor is a rare thing and while initially destined for Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Corp instead Markus had him brought to his retinue instead knowing the value of such a man in the dire circumstances an inquisitor can find himself in.<br/><br/>His last assignment was in dealing with a new interrogator who was involved with a radical inquisitor who had gotten himself executed. He did little during the investigation but watch her, seeing how she reacted to her situation. He saw immense value in her and while she had taken part in what some would consider heretical acts was still quite possibly not as radical as he wished but she certainly had the potential. She had little interaction with the Imperial Cult and was a blank, an immense boon for when he wished to deal with daemons. Of those involved in the investigation when it came to decide her fate two of the inquisitors wished to have her executed but instead he spoke up on her behalf. In private he told the other inquisitors he would take her into his retinue and oversee the end of her training and if she was a danger end her himself. He would take full responsibility for her and so even though both had wanted her killed agreed that they would stand by his longer assessment when it was made but all blame would rest with him if she turned to out heretical. With that he had her assigned to him and once she was under his direct command had her undergo a brief personal interview. She was strong willed and of great potential. She has only been with him a short time and so keeps himself and his more strange companions from her when he can though will soon be back to more significant missions where he will be unable to hide things from her sight.<br/><br/>His latest mission was to defeat a chaos incursion, however, when they arrived they found it already nearly under control. Somehow a suicide squad sent to buy time had not just succeeded but had survivors. Sent against such foes as chaos space marines and sorcerers they some yet lived. Reading the after action report instantly he knew something was awry cutting off a single individual and sacrificing her when there were so many. Then alone she killed almost everyone there, it was impossible, simple, blatantly, impossible. He instant set about covering up what he could and learned what he could about her indirectly. He used agents to talk to her about the circumstances and came to one of two conclusions, either the Warp blessed her or the Emperor did and he would find out which even if it killed her.<br/><br/>

</div>
</div><br/><br/>Skills: Proficient in hand-to-hand combat, also highly skilled with Lasgun/Helllguns and Long Las rifles. Skilled in Small-unit tactics and is partially capable of driving mechanized vehicles<br/><br/>Background: Aura was born on the world of Noracles V, an Imperial World that prided itself on it's fairness in selection for tithing to the Imperial Guard. Aura was the daughter of a merchant, his father, and a career soldier mother, who had survived 3 tours with the Guard. From a young age, the Guard fascinated her as her mother told tales of comrades, of battles and of shenanigans when out of battle. When Aura turned 16, having officially came of age by planetary customs, she surprised her entire family by being one of the few to volunteer for the Imperial Guard, bearing only a romanticized vision of them from her mother's stories.<br/><br/>Aura's regiment, a standard infantry regiment, was newly raised, and Aura was selected to be a squad sergeant due to her position as a volunteer. Basic training was one of the best times of Aura's life, growing stronger in body and bonding with the others of her regiment. This planet prided itself on sending only the best it could, so training was three grueling months. Then, they were shipped off to a warzone, singing hymns and marching chants and joking about how their mere presence would scare away the Archenemy they'd been sent to fight.<br/><br/>This wasn't the case, however, when the regiment actually arrived to combat. Like all quality regiments, they were promptly thrown into the most desperate siege defense on the planet and told to do what the guard did best, hold the line. Hold the line they did, standing their ground for 5 long months while the rest of the planet was secured and the enemy killed many. Some died to Chaos Marines, some to the foul powers of the warp, some to cultists, and some eventually fell prey to starvation when the enemy AAA become too thick to slip in supplies and soldiers. When the siege was finally lifted, Aura was left standing with a squad that didn't consist of even one of her original squad mates, and a regiment of 50 men and women as opposed to the original 5,000.<br/><br/>What was left of Aura's regiment was folded into a fresh regiment from her planet as a Veteran Platoon, a regiment filled with the same youthful idealism Aura used to have. They were sent to fight the Archenemy once more, but this time in an offensive. There Aura drew the attention of the Inquisitor, as she distinguished herself by leading her squad straight into the heart of the enemy command center, after being dropped in via high-flying Valkyrie. With Carapace Armor, liberal application of their Hellguns and no small amount of tactical thinking, the entire enemy command staff was accounted for, including 4 Chaos Marines. The enemy was found in the midst of summoning their true liege, a greater Daemon of Slannesh.<br/><br/>Indeed, the Chaos Marines had even known of the squad's coming, and planned to exploit it. A barrier was thrown up, separating Aura from her fellow soldiers. All that had to be done to summon this demon, was to finish a chant and make a grand sacrifice, and Aura fit the bill. Aura didn't plan to go down easy however, and when a chaos-corrupted Marine barreled at her, intent on taking her life with a ritual blade, she kept her cool. Concentrated Hellgun fire popped the Marine's head like a balloon, however this was functionally the same as if Aura herself had died.<br/><br/>The Greater Daemon, having been spurred into appearing by the death of the Marine, would soon be able to appear as a warp portal began to open. However, the ritual hadn't been performed entirely up to spec, and the daemon was unable to instantaneously appear as it normally could. It slowly began to manifest, having to fight it's way through a warp portal. Guardswoman Kalstov was faced with impossible odds, no squad, another Chaos Marine with bolter ready, and the enemy command squad very nearly finished with the chant, with ten corrupted Guardsmen as backup, readying lasguns and a greater daemon manifesting. So, she did what any self respecting member of a Noracles regiment would do, she readied herself to die for the Emperor.<br/><br/>She vaulted her cover, Hellgun barking, and immediately gunned for the enemy Marine. Mass-reactive shells missed her by mere centimeters, tearing off chunks of her armor with near misses. Only the marine's ancient equipment, and the sheer power of the ritual, threw off the aim of the hyper-lethal super soldier. Aura, however, had a modern suit and the sheer force of will to ignore the daemon's power. The Marine fell, a large burst of Hellgun fire piercing through it's neck and beheading the soldier. Even as the body fell to the ground, the other chaos soldiers fired on Aura.<br/><br/>Her Carapace Armor saved her that day, blocking more than a few lasbolts entirely and diluting the others enough so that, instead of her blood cells expanding and exploding, Aura was merely burned. She knew she had to break the circle, and kill those guardsmen, and she had seconds to get it done. So, she cut the straps holding her hellgun's backpack mounted power-supply to her and overloaded the pack, hurling it at the enemy commander and his chanting subordinates. She tore a frag-grenade from the webbing on her chestplate, pulled the pin and threw it right after. A grand explosion accounted for the Archenemy's twisted choir and the enemy commander, tearing the head from the enemy command structure and preventing the summoning of a greater daemon. Soon after, the barrier separating her squad from her was removed, revealing their shattered sergeant to the squad and two more dead Marines to Aura, who lay on the ground, badly burned, armor shattered and shrapnel sticking from her body in multiple places. She and her team were evacuated to a vessel, for rest and recovery.<br/><br/>However, in the end the great battle that Aura and her team fought mattered little, the Archenemy rallied and drove the Guard from the world, leaving Aura and her squad as the only survivors of this new regiment. They were all to be sent to serve as the Veteran Squad of yet another regiment, but instead Aura was recruited by an Inquisitor."

It is painted completely in ebony black, as dark as onyx, and catches no light neither does it reflect it. partly due to the material of which it is created. The suit does not cover every part of her body however, and where it does not conceal, dark magnificent cloth almost like velvet in texture cloths her. It incorporates a weave of mesh armour, manufactured through a process now long forgotten by time by those outside the Mechanicus, it is lightweight yet strong enough to stop a killing shot by ordinary projectile or energy weapons. She also wears a jump-pack that is folded into a regular mechanized backpack. Other distinguishing features include her hood which she always keeps pulled almost at all times over her head to help conceal her features along with her Bio-mask and coal black visor she wears that conceal her eyes, the Bio-mask in turn also conceals the lower half of her face. Her skin is also covered in Synskin.<br/><br/>Skills: Trained from the tender age of childhood by an order of the Death Cultist, Shenestra possess skill and ability befitting their great reputation. A lifetime, of survival then training and combat have honed Shenestra into a deadly killing machine. Yet Shenestra skills do not rely solely on her martial talents. She was always instructed that the power of her mind was her greatest weapon, thus Shenestra often seeks to thwart many opponents through planning and procedure rather than brute force. Learning all she can on a target before considering to engage them. However, some of a Death cultist greatest tools are their myriad of biochemical and engineered artificial improvements. She also possess other skills as well, adept in the practice of parkour(freerunning), hacking, subterfuge, major athletics such as acrobatics and possess an excellent if not almost photographic memory. Shenestra was also trained extensively in the lesser role of a retainer, and serves Markus in that capacity as needed. Her skills in subterfuge are uncanny, making her a true master of stealth and eliminating a target. Coupled with the skills, genetic enhancements have made Shenestra an unparallelled killing machine, with reflexes and speed thrice to that of a normal human. <br/><br/>Background: <br/><br/>Shenestra was born on a system on the fringes of the empire, on a feral world that often saw more then it's fair share of conflict. Little is known about Shenestra's life during her years growing up on the harsh planet. At some point during her youth, she was happened upon by Lord Inquisitor Markus during a large raid by Dark elder. He uncanny survival skills in the dense jugnle world had directly helped in defeating the xeno attack. Impressed by the young girls talents, he indicated her from the planet. Months from then Shenestra was placed under the care of a powerful group of Death cultist. It was there Shenestra's talents where honed and prepped by the diligent masters of the cultist. During her years of training she came to think of Markus as he savior. Raising her out of the cursed life she had known previously and given a greater purpose. In present day she serves as Markus's bodyguard and personal retainer. <br/>

</div>
</div><br/><br/><b>Skills:</b>Anna is a damn good sharpshooter, likely one of the best snipers in the Inquisition. It also helps that she has a psyber raven to scout out targets for her, and a mechanical eye to help with aiming. In addition, the Pariah gene is present in her, causing her to be one of the most feared Inquisitors known to the chaos cults.<br/><br/><b>Background:</b>The simple woman known as Anna was born on a large hive world, living in the lower levels of the world for much of her childhood. From birth, it could be told that she was different from the others, from the countless humans infesting the planet. Something about the sleeping babe felt off to the pair of parents, but neither were willing to act on the strange feelings they felt from just being around her.<br/><br/>Growing up, her life was mostly normal, though she had few friends. Many simply referred to her as ""that creepy girl."" Hnestly, though, it never bothered her. In fact, it felt empowering. People feared her, just from standing around, not even having to look in their direction to make them uneasy.<br/><br/>By the time she was fourteen, Anna was capitalizing on this little trait. She was a common thug and mugger, collecting what she called ""tax"" from anyone who happened to go down the wrong path. A knife to the throat, a creepy look, and she'd have money for food for the day. It was a good life, one she would have been able to capitalize on for ther rest of her life if it hadn't all gone wrong.<br/><br/>There had rumors for months in the various taverns and bars about the rise of heretics and cultists on the planet, but Anna had ignored it, for the most part. This trend of not giving a shit ended when she broke into a home, only to find a bunch of cultists saying the incantations to bind a daemon to a host. And, unfortunately for them, a door kicked open and an angry shout for all their money was enough for them to fuck up and kill the would-be host. Three of them left, Anna did the only logical thing: She held up her knife and told them to surrender all valuables before she turned them in to the Inquisition, who was also rumored to be on the planet.<br/><br/>The cultists, all unarmed, did what cultists do. Two charged her, while the third hung back. The scrawny, robed little men were cut down with relative ease, fanatical bastards swinging wildly at her and leaving wide openings. The third, however, was back in a corner, cowering. She was a little weirded out by it, but pressed on towards him. He screamed at her and babbled something about not being able to feel the warp anymore. She was practically on top of him when a bullet zoomed in from the doorway and splattered his brains across the wall.<br/><br/>When she turned, there was a group of three Inquisitors glaring at her. She merely shrugged, and dropped the knife. They brought her in for questioning, one of the three remaining a great distance from her the entire trip up the hive. After a brief session, it was determined that she was a blank, and that she had stopped a sorcerer from gaining influence on a hive planet. But, rather than give her to the Assassinorum - she was too old to get the full extent of the training regardless - the Inquisition took her in to be one of their greatest weapons against daemonkind.<br/><br/>The man assigned to teach her was a member of the Ordo Malleus, ones their veterans. While he was not initially capable of handling the null that she gave off, he eventually got used to being cut off from the Warp, at least until their training was done for the day. It was quickly determined that she was a damn good shot, but that her eye was damaged from a previous incident, and so she would not be up to snuff when coming right down to it. So, the only logical course of action was taken: The Inquisition had her right eye replaced by a mechanical one. On the bright side, it at least looked cool.<br/><br/>Her training complete, she was sent out on her first mission alone, attached to a group of space marines and sent out to kill a chaos cult rumored to be springing up on one of the feral worlds. Anna was one of the first to hit planet side, and instantly they were under fire from cultists. With some liberal fire from a Hellgun and some backup from the bolsters of the marines with her, they were easily taken out.<br/><br/>The group consisted of Anna and a mere fifty marines to clear out the cultists. Thirty tactical marines, ten devastators, and ten assault marines. Anna had requested more, but the junior member of the Malleus was all but ignored, denied the additional support. Greatly displeased, she and the appointed commander of the marines lead their group on a blazing trail across the feral world, leaving a trail of cultists behind them. Anna felt like they were findings them all to easy, and warned the marines that it might be a trap.<br/><br/>Ignored and distrusted, Anna was nearly left behind as the marines pushed forward towards what they hoped was the same of operations. What they found was a mass of daemons and hosts. The mariners fought bravely, and several died in the process to the daemons and the sorcerer that commanded them. In the end, they were ready to retreat, over half their number dead, when out of the jungle ran Anna, Hellgun in hand, and charged head first into the daemon line.<br/><br/>Mass pandemonium struck, as the blank went through, invisible to the daemons and immune to the psychic powers of the sorcerer, tearing through their lines. Reinvigorated, the marines leapt back into the fray with gusto, tearing into the confused daemons with renewed vigor. With that one added element, nothing could stop the turn of the battle, as Anna brought the psyker to his knees and executed him. In a few more minutes, the rest of the daemons were exterminated, and only ten of the fifty marines remained alive. Anna returned the Inquisition with praise showering in from the chapter.<br/><br/>After that, she was put in as an Interrogator, most of the time going out to aid the Ordo Hereticus on their purges when there was thought to be a high risk of daemonic presence or possession. However, as time went on, she felt more and more detached from the threat that daemons posed. They could not harm her, could not even see her. She felt the need to learn more about them. So, she began to watch, listen, observe her fellow Inquisitors. And that is how she found the Radical.<br/><br/>The man was sneaking around the current base she was assigned to. Feeling just a little suspicious, she followed him as stealthily as she could, and eventually was lead into a deep section of the dungeon. The cells were in a good state, but it was obvious from the dust that they hadn't seen use in years. In the very last one, the Inquisitor knelt, a chained up body covered in painted wards and incantations knelt across from him. The floor was covered in arcane runes, reminiscent of the ones on the floor she had witnessed years before. He was about to start, when she tapped on one of the bars to gain his attention. After a tense stare-down with pistols aimed at each other, she agreed to standby as a sort of insurance - if anything went wrong, she could deal with the host easily enough, whereas he might have been hardpressed to do so.<br/><br/>The possession went off without a hitch. And the daemon was rather compliant, what with the invisible monster bearing down on it. The information that it was willing to give up was quite interesting, but overall useless. In the end, she executed the possessed, forcing the daemon back to the warp. The process was quite intriguing, and so Anna implored him to do it more. And so, every so often, the pair would go into the basement with a new specimen, and he would force a daemon to possess it. During it all, she was most entertained by the times they forced daemonettes into the poor mortal.<br/><br/>However, all good things must come to an end. While Anna was out on a mission with some of the Sisters of Battle, the Inquisitor was caught and executed. When she returned, she was the first to find out - and the first to be interrogated, as she was known to associate with him often. However, a stranger - an Inquisitor that she had only heard of, but never spoken to - covered for her. It was later that she was transferred to his retinue, supposedly by his request. After a brief questioning and a lack of answers, she met up with him, however reluctantly, and has been by his side since."

A survivalist through and through, has acclimated himself to various regions without proper supplies or backup for extended periods of time. Experienced in fighting against both heretical Chaos forces and Orks.<br/><b>Biography</b>:<br/>Jacobus was born unto a feudal knight world known as Ayrdreath, where the Imperium arrived bearing the future abroad their ships. When the Howling Griffons touched down on the planet aside a battalion of Imperial Guardsmen, the people of Ayrdreath saw them not as gods nor angels, but as successors and visitors from worlds beyond. The insignias worn by them led the people to believe them to be knights of an outstanding order, a glorious kingdom from the stars, and their conclusions would not be entirely wrong.<br/><br/>The Howling Griffons had discovered this world, and were looking for another planet of which to recruit and bolster their numbers. It wouldn't be hard, either, for there contained over hundreds of knightly orders upon Ayrdreath of which were constantly crusading against one another. While Jacobus was quite young and rather recently inducted into his order, the Knights of the Hounds, the Howling Griffons went on to recruit who they could and went on their way. For roughly another decade, sword and shield clashed and spilt rivers of blood upon the land. The knightly orders dwindled one by one, until nearly a dozen where all that was left. And rumors of a deadly cult soon arose amongst the ears of the many feudal kings, whom made peace for a time to send forth the Dozen Orders to root out the heathens and destroy them. In truth, it was a Khornate Cult, a knightly order of those out for blood and battle. In the ensuing conflict, six of the pure orders were essentially annihilated within the first day and things grew increasingly grim for the planet as a warp rift tore the skies asunder and spewed forth hundreds of daemonspawn.<br/><br/>The plains-based shepherding Knights of the Hounds fought bravely alongside the northern, barbaric Knights of Ulstag as the last surviving orders. They slew their heretical brothers by the hundreds, each side taking massive casualties. Jacobus and twelve other knights barely managed to decapitate a single bloodletter, before being whisked away by an explosion of immense proportion. It was a drop pod, followed by several more. Out poured the Howling Griffons, whom proceeded to aid the surviving remnants of the knightly orders in battle. For the next three days was Khorne lusting for more blood, death and destruction, and he had received his eternal, unending thirst for every moment. Imperial guardsmen and space marine alike had closed the portal on the dawn of the forth day, following the slaying of the bloodthirster behind it all. Suffering many casualties on all sides, Jacobus finally decided to hang his sword up on the Hall of the Shepherds and trade it in for a lasrifle as one of many employed in the newly founded 1st Regiment of Ayrdreath. They took to the stars, off to test their metal against the foes of the Imperium and leave their home world to repopulate and reinforce itself.<br/><br/>After another decade of intergalactic crusading against the heretical forces of the Chaos Gods, a battle-scarred thirty-year old Sergeant Raus and his fellow Ayrdreathian brothers received a distress signal from the solitary station of guardsmen abroad the slowly progressing feudal knight planet home world. As they arrived into orbit, a space hulk loomed over their home and was already bombarding the planet into submission. Upon unleashing the entirety of the Imperial fleet's firepower, the space hulk was soon hurled upon Ayrdreath and a massive explosion wrecked a good portion of the planet's surface. The moment they landed, they were instantaneously beset upon by mobs of orks.<br/><br/>For what seemed like months, over eight regiments of guardsmen combatted their innumerable foe. During the last week of the conflict, the Ork Warboss was slain and the regiments slowly started to pull back. Expressing their wish to remain planetside and exterminate their foe, a massive riot broke out between lines. In the ensuing chaos, while additionally being beset upon by orks, the Commissar of the 1st Ayrdreathian Regiment was killed following the full retreat of the seven regiments, leaving the 1st Ayrdreathian to it's fate.<br/><br/>Having rallied the countrymen of his home, Sergeant Raus was one of very few survivors in his regiment abandoned to their own devices. In a few years, they were scavenging the defeated hordes of ork technology to craft what rudimentary armor and weapons they could to combat the relentless green menace. Setting entire forests ablaze, hunting down gatherings of fungal growth and mushrooms of which to destroy, driving back the various orkoids to the far north. None of it was a permanent solution, and they simply continued their unending assaults. As the last surviving guardsmen within the waning years of his failing kingdom, Jacobus exiled himself and began surviving on his own. He had helped who he could, an innocent child or farming settlement here or there, but it was ultimately hopeless. Nearly in his forties, he had just about given up all hope for his life until one day, a rather large Inquisitorial force of Deathwatch Space Marines and Imperial stormtroopers began a massive purge of Ayrdreath. In a matter of days, the Orks were seemingly annihilated and a shady Inquisitor touched down to discover the remnants of the 1st Ayrdreathian Regiment. When all they found was Sergeant Jacobus Sammael Raus, he was personally taken in by the Inquisitor for a debriefing of his encounter with the Xenos threat."

18889,"There is no Innocence, Only degrees of Guilt",OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18857-there-is-no-innocence-only-degrees-of-guilt,['Advanced'],2014-03-21 11:16:00,Tenish the Mighty,"Any room for an exiled dark eldar Beastmaster cum Haemonculus?<br/><br/>Name: Sylrys Vix<br/><br/>Appearance: Vix's appearance is one of successive horrors. At first blush, he is the cruelly lean, bladed and predatory creature that any unfortunate who has experienced a Dark Eldar raid or two would come to loath and revile, albeit draped in the arcane tribal finery of his calling. But those with the misfortune of getting to examine him in detail eventually come to the terrible realization that he is more attached to his gruesome haberdashery than reason would suggest, the clawed boots are in fact his own taloned limbs, the bony spines protruding from his frame are in fact his own tortured skeleton, the flesh and feather cloak about his shoulders are his own folded wings, like some macabre pantomime of Sanguinius and his own mutant Razorwings.<br/><br/>Amongst the prey-beasts amongst which he hunts, Vix conceals his Eldar mien by draping himself in voluminous robes in imitation of an Inquisitorial functionary. More commonly, however, he avoids contact with the lesser prey beasts. lest their stink ruin his hunt, concealing himself instead with shadow and science.<br/><br/>Skills: Vix has a number of skills that attenuate the distaste of his Inquisitorial employer. Foremost are his abilities as a huntsman. Few quarries can escape his perspicacity and fewer still can avoid the senses of his myriad menagerie. Once he quarry has been cornered, Vix is one of the most viciously capable warriors in his 'master's' retinue, and driving his baroque beasts into battle, he can present an application of unbridled brutality as to profane the notion of combat as a contested act. Perhaps his most discomfiting skill, however, is his mastery of the mind and flesh. Vix's knowledge of anatomical and psychical tolerances and the dark science of his people elevate his patron's ability to efficaciously interrogate subjects beyond that of even his fellow inquisitors.<br/><br/>Background: Vix does not speak of his past, when he deigns to speak at all. It is assumed by his presence in the retinue and his marked loathing of his own kind that he is an exile of Commorragh, fleeing some offense even that terrible pit would not suffer. His meeting with the Inquisitor, Altellus is less nebulous. The two clashed on the Deathworld of Enki V, both there hunting the same renegade Imperial Guard commander, one for duty the other for sport. The two ended up combating each other, almost by mistake and revealing themselves to their quarry, who very briefly hunted them. Unfortunately, her fury was as lacking a her loyalty and her men were consumed by beast and bolter fire. When the bloody hunt was done, the Inquisitor had the Eldar unexpected at his mercy, and then, even more unexpectedly displayed that mercy, offering the exile a place in his coterie of cohorts. With few other options and the promise of more worthy prey, Vix accepted. Since that day, Vix has served the Inquisitor's aims with remarkable zeal, contented to hunt the Inquisition's enemies so long as they allow him to test his mettle and practice his depraved form of animal husbandry, and has done so for nearly a century.<br/><br/>That said, there is the tacit understanding that no matter own long their relationship may last, it is a temporary collusion, and that one bloody day, when the portents present themselves, they will finish the gladiatorial match they started so many years ago, and see who is found wanting."

He has a torso and thinner limbs that look very much similar to a Tyranid Hormagaunt. The tips of his fingers and Morphed into Smaller but no less deadly rending Talons. His mouth is covered by a Metallic Rebreather to give the impression that he has augementic lungs and requires it to breath. But in reality it simply hides his mouth. If people were to see it he would be hunted in a second.<br/>His mouth is far from normal, Each cheek seems to bulge slightly. As if stuffed with something peculiar. When he opens his mouth (Which can be done to a width far beyond a normal human) he exposes a Host of Needle sharpened teeth. Both traits could plausibly be explained away as the resault of surgery save that he can also Unfold Four Impossibly long, finger like Mandibles that themselves end in Razor sharp Protrusions that are capable of Secreting a Postent mixutre of venoms and toxins from glands in his throat. He is also capable of spitting these toxins a short distance if he has to.<br/><br/>His saliva is also mildly acidic, Not enough to melt through metal or power armour, but enough to melt through flak armour and flesh with relative ease.<br/><br/>He also had a thinner form the the chitinous plating that a tyranid has. His is located on his back and shoulders.<br/><br/>Skills: His increased strength is less than a genestealers and an astartes. But still a little more than double that of a Strong human male. This also reflects in his personal speed and reflexes which are less than a full blooded tyranids but more than a humans.<br/>Essentially he is a walking encylopedia on the strengths and weaknesses of the tyranids. Having the rare opportunity to 'walk a mile in their shoes' live with their traits, gangly limbs, razor filled maws and nigh insatiable hunger. He knows of the most basic primal urges that drive all Tyranids forward. How they work, what they seek, and how to overcome it and outsmart it. He was able to explore these things because he may live without the oppression of the hive mind controlling his every move.<br/><br/>Background: His name and former identity were lost in during the process that made him what he was. And if the inquisitors and doctors who presided over his transformations know, they are not saying anything. Partly because He killed several of them when he was first awakened and unable to mentally control the hunger that had been brewing inside of him. Several partly digested Scientists, and further bio-graphs later. He had become what he was now.<br/><br/>His regime of testing became for more controlled and far more intense. He was starved and fed scraps, Pushed the the ravenous and primal edges of his hunger drive again and again until he could exert total control over himself and the urge. This si not to say it still wont effect his actions. But his odds of homicidal and cannibalistic spree's have lessened. Mostly. Couple that with being pushed beyond his enhanced physical limits. They wanted to know just how strong of a being they had created, compared next to live and captured specimens of xeno's. That is when he caught the first glimpse of the creatures he was molded from.<br/><br/>Everything about him was tested and altered at genetic levels. Even the Innate supplication to the hivemind and larger tyranid forms was soon replaced with hypo indoctrination of imperial dogma. He was raised to abhor the mutant and the xeno. It was ingrained so deeply into him to hate everything the average Imperial citizen reviles, as well as the very thing they made him into. He hates the forces of chaos even though he has no recollection of fighting or even meeting a heretic. He hates the hundreds of xeno species he has never laid eyes on. He hates the traitor, who would bring down the Imperium from within.<br/><br/>He hates himself and all xeno's, Hate, hate, Hate, hate. If the word was branded on every Micro-inch of his flesh it would not equal one-one hundredth of the hate he truly feels. Along with his never ending hunger this is a very dangerous combination. He was told he was made into a mutant to fight the things he hated so much."

The sheer thought of people wasted beyond thier means, with money they would surely lose, was too tempting to ignore. As he entered the casino he noticed the crowd was filled with excitement. An aura of prosperity for any gambler of talent. Slowly roaming the the room, he notices one particular table. A table that seems to have an awkward draw. Not sure why he's drawn, he knows this is a table he must play. Not wanting to draw attention, he stands in the backround to admire the action, closely watching for tells he may soon use to his advantage."

She had men and women both groaning and throwing their cards onto the table as she easily scooped up her chips. Her poker face was impossible to read for most, but there was a twinkle in her eyes, she was loving it. Making these people work for their winnings. She was lucky that this was still legal here, unlike many places. She wouldn't be able to do this in any other casino. She could feel a warm rough hand on her shoulder and she looked up, smiling a a man that whispered in her ear. She gave a little nod as she kisses his lips before he left her side.<br/>Gauge, the man looked towards Callan, there was no mistaking that look, that man didn't like him clearly. But he quickly looked away and went on his way. Callan could smell his blood from here though. But something wasn't right about that man."

A stunning woman at the very table he was drawn to, and a series of motions that although played perfectly, seemed out of place. Knowing a situation like that would surely not unfold it's truth with ease, Callan chose to take the next empty seat. It had been awhile since he had sat down at a table. His past filled with addictions that had drawn him beyond his means. And for years he had played the patient part, but something called to him this eve, stronger than he had ever felt before. Surely there was more to be had than just another game tonight."

Alaera played quietly, sipping away at her drinks. She was used to this life, she grew up in it ever since her mother had left. They continued to play until everyone had folded against her except Callan. Alaera looked at him, taking a sip of her drink before flicking her hair from her shoulders. Every hand she made different gestures, nothing was ever the same twice. She would smile, a friendly smile, but she never frowned except when men folded far too early. She was a clever girl, but the last man folding took the smile right off her face. ""This is bullshit, she's been handed cards, being the owners daughter she can rip us all off."" Alaera just groaned and slouched on the table, half expecting her night of gaming to be completely over now."

You spend a days journey trying to reach the trunk of the tree. When it becomes visible, a golden figure of a young women stands with her royal like hair blowing in the wind. She holds out her hand where a small envelope with your name appears. It’s a letter from your God/Goddess who has sent you here.<br/><br/>“You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.<br/>You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand<br/>Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God/Goddess<br/>Your own.”<br/><br/>You haven't realized yet that you are no longer by the trunk of the tree, you are standing on a platform that looks over from the highest point, when you look around a large temple like structure stares you in the face.

<br/>Understand I am not a extremely strict GM, these are more like guidelines but also should be enforced as much as possible. You won't be penalized unless you are continuously doing things over a long period time with several warnings, but these are just to help you get a hang of how the RP works, and then you'll be able to tell how lenient it all really is. Main thing, just enjoy yourself. <br/><br/>1. Please try your best to be literate and grammatically correct, but you won’t be penalized for mess ups. We all do it.<br/>2. Obvious rule: No god-modding, or metagaming, etc.<br/>3. There is a minimum of two paragraphs, please be somewhat descriptive and make sure you give enough for others to interact off of.<br/>4. Don’t spend too much time with one person, or alone. This is a group RP for a reason, we don’t want you breaking off in to single one on ones. (It’s fine if it is only two people talking for a while, but make sure to mingle when other people are online.)<br/>5. DO NOT PLAN IN THE OOC meaning do not discuss future interactions or figure out who you will talk to next. One of the challenges about this Rp is that anything can happen and you have no control over it, if someone walks in to your conversation uninvited then so be it.<br/>6. Be honorable, you must prove yourself to become higher ranked, or more powerful. You must go through SIGNIFIGANT events in order to become stronger, not small incidents.<br/>7. When it comes to main plots, please pay close attention to who is building their plot and try not to run over them with your own. There will be only one main plot going at a time, to ensure that all characters are involved. You are free to create small sub plots to the side, or create tension for your own RP, but only ONE main plot at a time.<br/><br/>P.S I am part of this RP also! And I too want to enjoy the twists and surprises in the RP so please do not send me requests of plots you want to do. Simply go for it, but makes sure to read #7 again when it comes to plots.

He read it once,twice...read it so many times, but its enigmatic words could make no sense to him. He clinged to one phrase...""my dear, you will understand everything when the day arrives"". He averted his gaze from the letter, to once again look at the woman who gave it to her. However the sight before him surprised him.<br/><br/>Focusing on the letter too much, Blaze never noticed that the gigantic tree he just arrived at vanished, or, to be exact, was now underneath him. He was now surrounded by the endless blue of the sky, at a height he originally thought possible he could only reach on a dragons' back. What was even more surprising, was the fact that he was not flying, not even floating, just stepping on a transparent platform, from where even the large tree looked like a small dot. Grabbing his leg, Paco, his faithful friend and companion muttered:<br/><br/>""I am scared...""<br/><br/>Blazed looked at his little friend.<br/><br/>""Don't worry"", he nodded with a warm smile.<br/><br/>Blaze focused on his surroundings. Before him was a temple, or so he thought. Even though he had yet to see a human-made structure, he was certain that this one was not made by mortal hands. It was beautiful,elegant, a true piece of art. As he looked around, he saw some more people around, all of them having their own,unique aura.

He could barely see himself living past tomorrow, let alone becoming something greater than himself. However, his thoughts raced and showed him falling down to his death. He looked around seeing that he was now high above where he received the note. However, he was standing on... something with a temple in front of him, and there were others here as well.<br/><br/><i>Time to put on a 'happy' face, isn't it?</i>Xabiz thought, his mind filling with visions of each of their multiple deaths and futures. This 'blessing', as most of his acquaintances called it, was extremely hard to live with and only ever helped a handful of times. It has even driven Xabiz to insanity and back.<i>Just focus on the here and now. Let the visions become background noise like they normally are.</i>He thought, composing himself before trying to determine if there was a path to the temple."

Instinctively, she tapped the button on her flight-helmet to bring the sun-visor down. With a click, the darkened piece of transparent material had covered her eyes, reducing the fatigue from the sun. Alongside her own aircraft flew two other planes of the same type, both armed to the teeth. Below them, a harsh looking desert covered the landscape, dotted by occasional villages and settlements and above them, the clear blue skies stretched for as far as the eye could see. At the moment, all Alicia could hear was the low but noticeable sound of her plane's engine as the squadron flew towards their destination.<br/><br/>""Hey, Lieutenant-"" A familiar voice came over the radio, but was quickly interrupted by another.<br/><br/>""Geez, Frank, how many times have I got to tell you that when we're on mission, it's TAC names only?"" This voice was much more severe than the other, but it still had the same sense of familiarity as the other. Alicia couldn't help but smirk somewhat.<br/><br/>""Got ya, sir. As I was saying, Endless, I hear we're gonna get some leave time in a week. Whatcha plannin' on doing?"" Alicia thought over her response for a moment before replying.<br/><br/>""I guess I'll just go for a walk or two? I really can't be bothered to find something more important to do and I'm most at home up here, so..."" She trailed off somewhat, not really knowing what to say, but her comrade seemed to understand the sentiment well enough, and jokingly replied.<br/><br/>""Ha, you're such a workaholic, Endless. You need a hobby."" The man's voice was full of cheer, he seemed more than reasonably excited for the leavetime. After making this remark, the radio fell silent again, so Alicia decided to look around. The desert scenery wasn't all that interesting and there weren't many clouds to decorate the sky today, so she decided to look over her friend's planes. They all flew F-16C Falcon jets, the mainstay of the United States Air Force and definitely a lethal looking plane at that. Despite its small size, it carried a large payload, rivaling that of gigantic bombers sixty years ago and its sharp, aerodynamic physique had earned it the nickname Viper. All of their planes were painted in the ordinary grey camouflage of the USAF, only decorated by individual logos and squadron symbols. The hot desert sun had a hard time reflecting off the paint, giving them a good amount of camouflage, even in the blue skies which contrasted greatly with their aircraft's colors.<br/><br/>Suddenly, she found herself interrupted by one of her allies. ""Endless, we've got Flankers's, inbound towards here, bearing seventy. We should engage. They look like they've got K-100's."" Immediately, she straightened herself up from her relaxed cruise position in her seat and began readying herself for combat.<br/><br/>""Roger that, Wasp."" Alicia confirmed her wingman's suggestion and began to make necessary evasions to throw off any attempts at BVR combat. With a push on her stick, the Falcon began diving below the cloud-layer, in the direction of one of the towns. With her focusing on evading any locking attempts by the fighters, she didn't give any mind to possible SAM installations below her. She kept out any noise as she prepared for a dogfight, but suddenly a noise erupted in her cockpit. The warning beep, loud, obnoxious but noticeable was blaring, indicating the firing of a missile. Immediately, she evaded in a way that would throw off a missile shot by a plane, but she didn't realize until it was too late that missile fired was in fact a surface-to-air missile.<br/><br/>The plane shook and shuddered from the impact and immediately began losing speed. Based on her estimates, the engine had been hit the most and was no longer producing any thrust and thus went into a dive.<br/><br/>""Lieutenant, eject!"" Her comrade yelled at her over the radio. Nodding, Alicia tried pulling the eject lever, but nothing happened. Trying again gave no results. She attempted to tell her fellow pilots that she couldn't eject, but the radio had already been ""fried"". Cursing, she tried again and again to pull on the lever, growing increasingly urgent as the plane dove at a frightening rate towards the ground. A plume of smoke followed the aircraft down and Alicia could smell the stench of burning fuel. Eventually, she gave up trying, her arms sore from repeated pulling and simply relaxed in her seat. Pulling off her oxygen mask and taking off her helmet, she sighed and looked out of the bubble cockpit at the ground's scenery as it grew closer. She opened her mouth to say something to no one in particular, however nothing but a sigh came out. Alicia smiled somewhat and closed her eyes, a solitary tear coming down her face. The pilot silently awaited the jolting moment when the crash would occur, when the candlelight of her life would be blown out.<br/><br/>But this moment never came.<br/><br/>Instead, upon forcing her eyes open, she was met utter black and only found herself drifting asleep...<hr/><center><i>Now.</i></center><br/><br/>A black haired, blue eyed girl found herself looking on the top of a hill at a large tree in the relatively close distance. Alicia found a smile coming to her face in satisfaction as she realized her journey was nearly over. One week ago, she had awoken far away in a pile of brush in an unknown land, with not another one of her kind in sight. For awhile, she wandered around in confusion, until deciding to journey towards a massive tree in the distance, feeling partially compelled to do so and partially wanting to visit it out of a new feeling of freedom that she had attained once she had awoken in the land. Over the one week journey on foot, she had mostly kept to walking, only resting for a few hours at a time, or sleeping for hours upon hours, taking full advantage of the freedom she now had. While she had been of course surprised by her arrival in this place, she eventually came to accept it.<i>Perhaps this is the afterlife?</i>She had remarked, before pushing that thought away with a laugh. In reality, the most likely explanation was that it was a dream, perhaps due to her being in a temporary coma after the crash. It was a dark thought, but she managed to stay cheery throughout her voyage.<br/><br/>Eventually, she had come to this hill. With her destination barely a kilometer away, she found a grin take over her features as she felt the accomplishment of finally reaching her destination. After taking in the view for a moment, she began to descend the hill, with a smile still on her face. Alicia descended the hill at a steady pace which suddenly turned into a jog. Then a run and suddenly she found herself dashing over foliage and brush and dodging trees at an incredible rate as she grew more and more excited to reach her destination. Hopping over roots and sidestepping rocks, the somewhat short girl advanced at speed that bested any professional athlete, without even breaking a sweat or losing her breath. While the outfit that she had awoken in; a dim sky blue blouse like shirt, a blackish skirt and some dress shoe-like loafers weren't the greatest peripherals for running, she didn't feel the slightest discomfort in her run.<br/><br/>The scenery turned into a blur as she picked up speed, a wide grin on her mouth and a spring in her every bound, and eventually she reached the tree. Crouching for a moment on her legs and breathing heavily, she laughed somewhat.<i>Why is this so fun?</i>Alicia asked herself.<i>Am I going insane?</i>The black haired girl smirked and shook the thought away as she brushed off her legs and stood up, when she was greeted by womanly figure clad in golden light. In its hands lied a letter and in the way she stood, it seemed she was offering it to Alicia. Tilting her head quizzically, she took the letter and indeed noticed her name on it. In a rather uneasy manner, she opened it and read the contents.<br/><br/><i>You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes. <br/>You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand<br/>Everything when the day arrives. You will become a Goddess <br/>Your own.</i><br/><br/>The first thing she remarked was the almost poetic structure, reminding her almost of a strophic poem, just without rhymes. However, it seemed the more important idea was the fact that whoever had written it expected her to become a goddess at some point. At first, Alicia read it over and over just trying to make sense of the words, despite understanding it perfectly. It was what it mentioned that startled her. ""A goddess? Me? What would I be a goddess of...?"" She murmured to herself, but then the multiple ideas she had floating her head began to come together.<i> An fascination with flight, great agility, an aptitude with flying, surviving a plane crash with no injuries... I can't be...</i>""... A goddess of flight?""<br/><br/>Alicia found herself looking up in confusion, but now in her vision she could not see the weathered trunk of the tree. Now, as far as she could see, there was only an expanse of a fantasy-esque landscape, accentuated by the tree to which she had spent a week journeying. The high clouds were now only a few hundred meters away and she could hear the telltale sound of wind and gusts, telling her that she was now at a high altitude. Alicia shakingly took in the landscape for a moment, hoping it would calm her, but her hand continued to tremble at the though that this may not all be a dream. The girl was broken away from her trance by the sound of quiet activity behind her and daintily turned around. Her eyes were met by the sight of numerous individuals of differentiating appearances, feelings and general physiques all holding a similar letter to her own in their hands. Some were dressed exotically, others not so much. One man had a small humanoid creature at his side that looked like something out a TV show.<br/><br/>Her mouth gaping a little, her trembling hand accidentally let go of the letter, sending it off into the breeze, with a fluttering sound of paper. She made no attempt at trying to catch it, instead continuing to watch the group of other individuals, all trying to figure out things for themselves. Behind them lied an almost cliché looking temple adorned with a similar colored light to the figure who had given her the letter. One man looked to be heading towards it, but Alicia remained rooted to her spot, utterly unsure of what to do.<br/><br/>It was this uncertainty that scared her. Never before had she felt so lost, so unknowing as to what was happening. Her mind was ablaze with thoughts and she felt like screaming, but not a sound would escape her mouth and she could only watch the situation unfold around her..."

He was not surprised to find himself in this strange new land; certainly he hadn't been expecting it, but surprise was reserved for things conceived as outside of the realm of possibility. Nor did his stoic expression falter as he read the short letter that had been handed to him. Curious words, but perhaps not so strange; was not the ultimate goal of knowledge and wisdom to obtain omniscience, and was not omniscience reserved for the domain of gods? No, ""surprised"" definitely wasn't the right word for what he felt... A small serene smile crept across his face as he took in his surroundings.<br/><br/>It immediately became apparent that he was not alone here. Several other strangers stood near him in various levels of disbelief. He had never seen their attire before. He took in a deep breath of air through his nose; their scents were foreign. Were they even from they same world? Well, it seemed that where they were from mattered little, and he soon stopped pondering too deeply about what was happening. After all, the letter assured him that he would understand everything in time."

It allowed her to organize her thoughts, to really find that inner peace within herself. Solitude over social interaction. It gained her many enemies, but she also gained self awareness as well. The busy noises of the city tended to distract her, more disruptive than comforting. Distracting, loud, a cacophony of sound.<br/><br/>This was different.<br/><br/>She couldn't hear the whisper of the leaves, or the call of the birds. She couldn't feel the grass rippling underneath her, or the caress of the wind on her skin. The scent of the fresh earth didn't reach her nose, or the fragrance of the flowers. She felt like crying out, grasping out to feel something--anything! She couldn't move, she couldn't utter a noise.<br/><br/>Lethia was suffocated. She couldn't feel her heartbeat--was it even beating?--she couldn't even breathe. Lethia was unable to move a limb, frozen in this sensory deprived state.<br/><br/>It terrified her.<br/><br/>If she had control over her body, she would most certainly be hyperventilating, crying, and freaking out in general. Her heart would be beating wildly, with no doubt. But she was unable to.<br/><br/>There was only darkness.<hr/>Falling.<br/><br/>Lethia was falling.<br/><br/>She awoke with a start, gasping and grasping at the grass. Her clear eyes immediately took in the blue sky. Why was she facing the sky? Oh, she was lying on her back. Lethia slowly regained control over her senses, and she pushed herself into a sitting position with a soft groan. She placed a hand on her forehead as she took several deep breaths. Where was she? What was going on?<br/><br/>Lethia squeezed her eyes shut as she struggled to recall her last memory. Everything was a haze, and it pained her head to try to force clarity. What was the last thing she did? Oh her head...<br/><br/>It was beginning to come back to her.<br/><br/><i>Lethia was hacking her lungs out, coughing her throat raw. The world seemed hazy, and her cheeks felt burning hot.</i><br/><br/>A fever. Did she have a fever?<br/><br/><i>Her throat was aching, it was so sore from coughing, and she was parched. When was the last time she drank? Her tongue felt like sandpaper and she could barely gather enough saliva to swallow. She blindly groped around for the cup of water that she had at her bedside, but her clumsy fingers knocked it over, causing water to spill over the floor.<br/><br/>No, no, no, no, no...<br/><br/>Desperately, Lethia tried to sit up, but only succeeded in falling out of bed. Struggling to sit up, but failing, Lethia fell onto the floor, the water soaking her body as she lost consciousness.</i><br/><br/>Yikes, not a good memory. She was sick, very sick. But that didn't explain why she was out here, in this unfamiliar place. One, she was sick, and fainted on her floor. Two, she lived out in the woods, all alone. She knew the area like the back of her hand. If this was anywhere around her home, she would know exactly where she was.<br/><br/>Lethia jumped to her feet, feeling no lingering affects of the dreadful fever she had before waking up here. There was nothing to be gained from staying in one place. It was time to explore.<hr/>Time is a very subjective concept. And Lethia completely lost track of it. How long has it been since she woke up? How many branches did she brush past?<br/><br/>After what seemed like an eternity, Lethia finally arrived at the large tree that commanded attention. She paused for a second, breath taken at the beauty. Was it even possible for trees to grow that big? It apparently was.<br/><br/>Lethia blinked a couple of times as a beautiful woman appeared in her field of vision. What was that in her hand? A letter with her name on it? How did she know her name...?<br/><br/>Curiosity overcame any suspicion as she opened the letter.<br/><br/><i>“You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.<br/>You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand<br/>Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God/Goddess<br/>Your own.”</i><br/><br/>What?<br/><br/>A Goddess? Lethia? Really? Was this a joke?<br/><br/>She blinked some more as she read and reread the letter multiple times. But... It made sense in a crazy way. How in the world would she be here if it wasn't the work of a more powerful being?<br/><br/>She was stunned, speechless and confused. When she looked up to ask a question, she was somewhere else again. She was even more staggered now. What in the world was going on? Some people seemed to be walking towards the large building. Maybe they would know what was going on. Lethia gripped her letter, and started to head towards the temple as well."

Pursing his lips, he read it again.<br/><br/><b><br/>“You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.<br/>You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand<br/>Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God/Goddess<br/>Your own.”<br/></b><br/><br/><b>""Well, that's one way to scare me shitless...""</b>he murmured, a bit perturbed. One moment, he was sitting in his room, minding his own business, when bam, he was here. In... Well, whatever this place was called. For a mother, she needed to learn subtly. It wasn't exactly her strong suit. Well, at least the woman that had given him the letter was pretty. He chuckled at the thought. Still sitting on the platform, Ryko looked down at the others, others he assumed to be deities, like him. Though, he had no idea of what. He uncrossed his legs and let them dangle over the edge, smiling gleefully at the others down below.<i>This aught to be fun.</i>He jumped down from the platform, landing safely on the outer court of the temple. Well, on the tree it sat on anyway. Curious, he walked through the double doors into the temple. Temple of Thea, eh? He'd never met her, though he'd like to. She was the one that had blessed him with his light arrows after all.<br/><br/>As he walked the halls of the temple, he left his hand run over the cold stone walls, his mind already leaving him. His thoughts went to small girl in the heart of America. He sighed. The girl was struggling to survive, hiding on the streets. Probably an old memory of a live already lived. He closed his eyes and willed the memory to go away. This person was probably close to death and the memories were a way of telling him this. He sighed and found a small table to sit at in one of the smaller rooms. In it were bookshelves filled with miscellaneous texts. He put his elbow on the table and began rubbing his temple, trying to focus. The girl was now... an old man, about 65 or so. Cancer... Ryko sighed. He gave the command and the heart monitor in the hospital began to beep like crazy, doctors and nurses swarming the man. When Ryke opened his eyes again, there was a small soul sitting across from him, a little small blue orb floating. He smiled and took the soul in his hands. He'd always loved this part. The orb was warm to the touch and simple stunning. However, when Ryko picked it up, he could feel ever memory, good or bad. He sat for a few moments, shifting through them best he could and then decided on a reincarnation. He smiled at the orb and kissed it gently. As he did, the orb poofed and was gone, already inside the stomach of a human woman, ready to be born again.<br/><br/>He sighed, sitting at the table, a few minutes after the task had been completed. He glad to finally have a place where people might actually understand him. Plus, he didn't have to keep moving so that people wouldn't realize how immortal he really was. 119 wasn't exactly within the 'human' lifespan. Though, he still felt like a teenager. Maybe he always would. Who knew? He only knew one thing, his job was his life and despite it's difficulties, he enjoyed it. It gave him purpose and drive. It gave him reason. With it, he felt powerful and alive. Then again, maybe that wasn't a good thing. He chuckled at himself again and laid down on the table, staring up at the ceiling. Surely, the others would come soon."

He remained silent, letting the cape hang down from his shoulders and the three inscribings on his left shoulder glow, they blazed in light simply because the power of the truth is unmatched by anything else. The reality of conflict is to not be spoken of, instead learned, people whom experienced conflict have learned, and are therefor allowed to bare witness the truth of conflict written on both his body and on the left of his shoulder, the shield arm, the arm of which protects. Millions of deaths spanning his mind at any given time from millions of different universes, one in particular found his interest, however. A fighter pilot, her gift from the allfather had been great, he'd seen her potential like he did himself. It was a surprisingly still time, for minutes he'd walked these halls without any interruption, was it finally time for his peace? The end of his Eternal Crusade?<br/><br/>Conquestus didn't think so highly of mortals, he knows their nature. There will always be war, crossing conflicts. Small arguments escelate into war, war escelates into destruction, the taking away of life. He'd done the process millions, if not trillions of times, he's killed countless numbers of any age group and he's demolished uncountable civilizations, some so advanced that they took to the stars. He's never found justice in doing so, he only finds guilt, forced to do what killed him even in the afterlife, however someone has to bare the burden and it is the sole reason he's still existant, to bare the heaviest burden of all, the death of a million souls every moment of every second.<br/><br/>Souls whisper in his ears of the unjustice of their death, they scream and shout at how they didn't deserve this type of faith, they tell him that it wasn't their fault, they swear of revenge and threaten even himself, Conquestus, a Deity of Conflict. The whispers hold familiairty, he knows the name of every voice which makes itself known in his head. He is like a reaper of sorts, however, he's supposed to be a just angel, an angel of conflict, but the only thing of which is angelic about him is the fact that occationally, he kills the evil-doers. A Dying Angel, A Falling Angel. He feels his body chackled to the white hall, unable to fly or even spread his wings if he wanted. His fate is to be locked to the ground, unable to feel what normal angels feel every day, he looks up to the sky in wishing for salvation but he knows that no one will bring it upon a killer of a million children, and their two million parents.<br/><br/>The chains and chakles keep him to work, ever slaughtering, ever punishing and taking. However, even for a simple minute he's free from such acts, His presence in the Eternity Pass is that of peace, not forced to flay, slaughter, maim or burn anything. It is tranquility, his paradise of which he wished to live forever. Suddenly he felt the watching eyes of the allfather pass through him for a brief moment and he swifly turned around, he knew that he was chosen for this task because he is the only one who truly knows it, thinking about another alternative is not something he is worthy of. ''Excuse me, allfather.'' He spoke out, his words echoed the white dimension which was the Eternity Pass.<br/><br/>As sudden as the gaze of the allfather pierced through him he found himself in a jungle, after a quick review of the environment he decided to wander to the tree, the pressence of the allfather ever with him, almost guiding him between the massive trees around him. Never was he lost, nor was he at peace, when he finally arrived he felt as if he'd been through this a thousand times, the familiarity of the massive tree felt curious, however he didn't think much of it, he was met by a female clad in a glorious robe, he was kindly given a letter, he didn't need this hospitality, he was a killer of millions, all he deserved was the cold glare of any normal person.<br/><br/>Nevertheless he opened the letter, his titanic body towering above the female, with the Vanquisher of Conflict on his back and the Protector against Unjustice in his left hand he was more then prepaired for his normal ordeal. The paper almost opened itself in the hand of Conquestus and he read the letter, from front to end, as perfectly as anyone could read it.<br/><br/><i>You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes. <br/>You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand<br/>Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God.<br/>Your own.</i><br/><br/>The rage boiled within him, A God of Conflict? The idea was of complete terror to him. Chackled to the ground, unable to spread to the skies of the world above for eternity? As a demi-god he knew that there would, in the end, be peace for him in death, he knew that Demi-gods are capable of death, no-matter how long they'd live, however a god is omnipotent, omniscient, unable of death. He wanted to smash this world apart, however his senses became clear and his simple stand infront of the woman would be terrifying to witness, suddenly he was located on a platform on the tree, a supposedly self grown one, in the center is the Temple of Thea, he's heard of it, a place of light. Even up here, a mere couple of meters above the ground, he felt his invisible chains pulling him to the ground. However a figure of Conquestus could impossibly enter it's sacred halls uncleansed. He simply stood there, titanic in nature and apearence he stood still, glaring with his blazing eyes the temple of Thea, he felt sick of his very presence this close to it's foundation. He didn't move, simply stood and took notice of the figures around him.<br/><br/>Demi-gods of all kinds and sizes, even the fighter pilot he'd seen visions of were here, present. He knew that the allfather would pick her for what she was, however he flet jealous of her capabilities, unchained, unchackled to the ground, capable of lifting up, flying as high into the sky as her imagination can bring her. He remained still, not because of uncertainty or unknowingness of the land, but because he was not worthy of enterance. His back body covered by the ripped black cloak, however the wind soon wished to bring it with them, and therefor the cape blew with the wind, stuck to Conquestus shoulders, however, magically the Signatum Conflictus remained unmoved, the three pieces of cloth like paper remained untouched or unaffected by the wind, on these cloths were almost eternal text's written in the language of the allfather himself, not anyone would be able to read it, however those who would, will know the truth of conflict.<br/><br/>So there he stood, before one of the holiest of all temples, unable or unwilling of entering it's sacred halls."

The vibrant hues of the odd colored jungle made her cringe. It was hard to understand something new, to be out of her own domain where she knew everything by heart, never having to worry about her own thoughts on top of others. She turned herself to the trunk of the tree, her eyes fixated on the golden figure in front of her. She studied her head to toe, learning each fragment on her self being from the different shades of gold that contoured her face and hips, her eyes being brighter than her locks of gold.<br/><br/>Jealousy,<i>resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage.</i>She repeated the definition in her head, to make sure that was the emotion she was truly feeling. But she was completely inaccurate. She was… Fascinated,<i> to arouse the interest or curiosity of; allure. </i>She felt herself smile as her body began to relax. She could never move on to something else until she had completely dissembled her emotions enough for her own self to understand. The woman held out a sealed envelope with ‘Evangeline’, she took the letter accordingly.<br/><br/><i> My star Evangeline,<br/>This is your new beginning, spend more time hearing your own thoughts and living a life for yourself. Learn to love the simple things in life, learn that not knowing everything is the beauty of life. You are only to guide the minds of fatal thoughts, you will learn on your own my one and only that you have more control than you think. Now, take a look around. Explore. Live. <br/>-	Love, daddy </i><br/><br/>She felt her chest become tight, she wasn’t ready. She couldn’t be alone, to be all on her own with a million thoughts. She felt herself cave and thousands of voices at once began to rambled in her head, some whispered some screamed. She pulled the letter from her face and let herself become statue like until the voices finally calmed and soon faded. She was never allowed to seem weak, when she becomes vulnerable, her mind becomes open to the people who don’t belong there.<br/><br/>Opening her eyes to the world she looked over an edge, she looked as far as she could. Everything was so beautiful and serene. She felt captivated by it, she wanted to sink herself in to the soft grass and become part of the forest. She then turned to see a temple. They had similar buildings on her world, but she had never been inside one. She noticed some people stood in front of the temple, some were heading in to the large open doorway. She too hesitated before deciding that she would make her way in side also. She held on to the letter next to her side, and continued to make her way in. She spotted a few different faces, she had learned to study them quickly before they thought she was staring at them in some way. She stopped not knowing what way to go next, she stood close to a small fountain that was placed in the side of the room, sitting along the edge to look at the colorful fish that swam around each other. She began to study their patterns, matching one with the other. Something to occupy her mind."

Now, she only watched the scenery, letting herself calm down and let the situation sink in. However, no matter how hard she tried, the whole thing really couldn't soak in just right.<i>What's happening... I'm normally more accepting of new things.</i>She remarked as she watched the clouds tranquilly float by. Eventually, her eyes fell down and she took in just how high up she was. The platform seemed to be at least the same altitude as the giant tree's canopy. Further in the distance, a wide variety of different environments; lakes, mountains and plains, among others, painted a scene that reminded her of something out of a painting or perhaps even a video game. It seemed inviting, but Alicia still felt as if she shouldn't be there.<br/><br/><i>If I fell, I wonder what would happen? Would I survive? Would I be brought out of this dream? Would I die...? </i>No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake the hurricane of thoughts and worries from her head. For a moment, she was tempted to just walk over the edge, just to see what would happen, but she refrained from doing so, out of a will not to bring any fear, worry or other negative feelings upon those with her, despite not knowing any of them. Perhaps it was a sentiment that she had come to harbor due to her being a fighter pilot. Was<i> a fighter pilot</i>Alicia corrected herself. She continued to stare out into the open skies, a deep yearning for her wings of metal growing inside her chest.<i> This can't be real... can it?</i>The girl continuously denied the situation, thinking it too unreal, but the evidence was there, which made her grow more angry by the second, angry with this new reality that couldn't be changed. A reality where she couldn't fly, where all she could do was look to the sky with a lamenting gaze.<br/><br/>Amazingly, she found herself missing her comrades, despite not knowing them all that well. She only had a year with them, but they had grown close.<i>What I wouldn't give to return to that world, no matter how flawed it was.</i>For a moment, her mind jumped through various ideas of what she could give to the powers that be in order to forsake this new life. A conclusion was quickly reached, however; any bargaining was for naught. Her usual cheer and energy left her body, a deep contrast to the elation she had felt when running through the woods. This quickly subsided however, as Alicia steeled herself. Unconsciously balling her fist, she turned around and faced the other new residents of this bizarre land. Painting a weak smile on her face, she began striding with determination towards the incredible construction, her features impeccable aside from her somewhat puffy eyes. In her way of walking, one could not even guess that she had been lost in distress only moments before.<br/><br/>Alicia marched through the doorway with relish before sighting a fountain. Figuring it would be a good place to start in gaining her bearings in the new environment, she tentatively entered into the room. Upon entry, she was met with an exotic looking girl who seemed to be close to her age observing fishes in the fountain. Alicia decided to speak in a slight tone as to not startle her, but kept a somewhat casual tone to give of an air of friendliness.<br/><br/>""I guess you're trapped here too?"""

She stood and smiled warmly, a new face. ""Such blue eyes you have, you are truly beautiful young woman."" Her words were never meant to be forward or out of line, she only wanted to speak truthful. She usually avoided complex indignation by simply saying the first thing that comes to mind when approached so abruptly. But the woman had not walked up in a abrupt matter and that she should be thankful for. She then stripped her eyes away and looked around the room to the few scattered people looking at the surroundings as they were. ""I believe so, but I am not quite sure if it is a good or a bad thing.""<br/><br/>She smiled once more to release any tension from her last reply. She wanted to enjoy this adventure as much as possible so she rather have the people around her try to become comfortable as well. She was glad that she was capable of giving off a somewhat confident tone as she replied back to her, but at the same time she questioned herself if she had said too much. She battled in her head without showing any remorse on her expression before finally reaching out her hand. ""I am Evangeline."" She said in her velvet like tone. One she would use to be gentle, alluring in the friendliest ways."

He sighed. He didn't even know the proper communication procedures humans follow in order to start a conversation. Not that he was sure if they were humans, either in appearance, or in powers and origin, since he never met any other living being apart from dragons, Paco and wild animals.<br/><br/>""I need to get the hang of socializing with others soon, or I don't think I will get any furhter from here..."" he thought.<br/><br/>Paco now sat on his shoulder, his favorite place to sit. Blaze sneezed with Paco's tail on his nose. However, the sneeze sounded like more like a roar, that, unless the whole platform and temple were soundproof, he was sure that it was heard quite far, something that annoyed him. He blushed.<br/><br/>""Sorry, if I scared anyone!"" he yelled.<br/><br/>A few seconds later,though, he regretted it.<br/><br/>""First I sneeze like a dragon, then I apologize to people out of the blue. Now that's a first impression..."" he commented in sarcasm to his actions.<br/><br/>He decided to go inside the temple, to avoid being ridiculed in front of strangers. He always believed the first impression was the best one and he was sure he failed in that. He lowered his head, as to avoid eye contact and headed towards the stairs. However, he would know if anybody commented on his actions, because of his hearing, something that didn't want to happen because it would make him feel like a joker. Not something that would anger him, but it would certainly spoil his mood. Without realizing it, he was in front of the temple's door. Then he remained still. Worried, Paco asked:<br/><br/>""Is there something wrong, Blaze?""<br/><br/>""I do not know how to open a door..."""

The compliment completely caught her off guard and she found herself blushing.<i>M-me...? I'm nothing more than average, really...</i>She even stammered in her thoughts as she attempted to come up with a response to such a novel way of responding to her entry into the scene and found no luck in responding, but thankfully she was saved when the girl continued on with the conversation. ""I believe so, but I am not quite sure if it is a good or a bad thing."" Alicia nodded, letting the surprise of the elegant woman's former words fade away.<br/><br/>""I guess I'm a bit more decided on the subject, then..."" Unconsciously, she glanced away, somewhat out of shame when she considered the other's feelings. When she looked back, however, it seemed that she payed no mind to the quip, as she was smiling at her.<br/><br/>""I am Evangeline."" The woman spoke with a soft, gentle tone as she introduced herself and Alicia responded in kind.<br/><br/>""Endless. Though, I prefer Alicia. It's prettier, you know?"" She had to keep herself from saluting the woman, an annoying habit she had picked up after someone had mentioned upon introduction that she was cute when she saluted. Though it was only a few months ago, it felt like ages. Instead, she just smiled in return before continuing the conversation. ""How long have you been here? This world, I mean. I think I've been here for a week now."" Alicia looked around the area. As she expected from a place with such an ornate exterior, the atrium was lavishly decorated with various flowers and green-life. Even at the high altitude, Alicia could hear birds chirping in the garden and the fountain had a steady sound of streaming water emanating from it. A few different varieties of fish swam within its clear water, giving an impression of watching a living rainbow.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Alicia realized that there was an essential question that she must ask if she were to get anywhere in this world. She hesitated somewhat before asking it, however, wondering if it was a not too much of a nosy question to be asking. However, considering the situation, it was most likely an inevitable question, so she pushed it out. ""Hey, since we're all deities, or something like that, in this place, who are you? If you know, that is. A-and, of course, if it's not too bothersome of a question."" Alicia stammered somewhat as she gave a justification for her question, but she figured shortly afterward that this Evangeline seemed to be not the kind to be bothered by such a question.<br/><br/>Awaiting her response, Alicia decided to look over her features. She had what looked to be a sapphire on her forehead and comely features. To her own jealousy, Evangeline also wasn't at all lacking in curves, unlike herself. As she realized this, her spirits dropped ever so slightly, but she made a particular effort of keeping her amiable expression while she patiently awaited her new acquaintance's response."

She mentioned her name, but something made Evageline frown as she mentioned another name. ""I think Endless is a beautiful name, it says a lot about who you are if I may say."" She smiled once more, returning the warmth to the conversation. ""I shall call you Endless and your greatest victories, but I too love the name Alicia."" She paused and looked around along with her, enjoying the view. She wished she had a definite answer on how she felt about this all but for the most part she could not complain. Wildlife, and new sites excited and calmed her.<br/><br/>She felt herself grow pale as she asked her how long she had been here, and that she had been here for a week. She paused and searched her thoughts, where did she spend the last couple of nights? It was as if she woke up here and spent only a day wandering around, but a week? That was a hard question to ask Evaline, she sometimes would be sucked in to people's day dreams and spend a day in their life. She could barely remember what's real and what's not. Her face brightened again as she strained all her thoughts to dissipate. ""I believe I have only been here for a day but.."" Her words trailed off as she looked away once more, back in to the fountain.<br/><br/>We were all deities, her calm face turned tense. What exactly was partaking in such a place? She finally came back to her senses, and blinked back until her face met to a smile again. ""I am sorry. I am the Deity of Complexity. I can hear people's thoughts, wake up in others dreams, I am where all the world's curiosity comes from."" She shrugged slightly, it wasn't a silver platter like she tried to make it sound. She actually had no idea what it meant to be the Deity of Complexity, what happened to her had nothing to do with complexity, or atleast that is what she felt like. ""What about you?"" She asked in full curiosity."

Maybe... He should go out and look. Seek them out. Being alone was never his forte, anyway. Too much time spent alone with his thoughts, he didn't need them. He sighed and sat up from the table, jumping off into a standing position. He smiled to himself and walked out into the hallway. He looked around but he couldn't see anyone in the building yet really.save for two girls he found sitting by a fountain in one of the many rooms. He blinked, oddly curious, yet glad to have found someone. Though... He stood just outside the doorway, weighing his options. Would the girls be upset with him if he barged into their conversation? Probably... Most people did. Though... He took in a deep breath and let it all out with a slow exhale. He peaked into the room again. No... harm in trying right?<br/><br/>He stepped into the doorway and smiled at the two girls.<b>""I... uh... hope you don't mind me barging in. I'm Ryko.""</b>He projected to the two women. They both had black hair, one a bit taller than the other. The only difference he could spot between the two were their heights and their eyes. One had sparkling blue eyes like his and the other gray, almost black eyes. What sort of deities were they? He grinned at them before walking deeper into the room, inspecting it's walls. The room looked a bit like a lounge room, seats jutting out from the walls with decorative pillows. He sat down at one of the seats, his legs crossed as he watched the two girls."

She did it in a way that seemed dainty, but it still felt wholesome and generous, somewhat comforting to her. On a contrasting note though, she frowned when Endless gave her preference for the name 'Alicia'. ""I think Endless is a beautiful name, it says a lot about who you are if I may say."" Evangeline said to her, smiling once again.<i>She smiles a lot.</i>She silently remarked as she listened. ""I shall call you Endless and your greatest victories, but I too love the name Alicia."" While she normally should have felt flattered by the compliment at the end, Alicia felt rather... chaffed by the use of her real name.<i>No, really, I prefer Alicia.</i>she wanted to say, but she kept her small annoyance in her head and away from her features, keeping a friendly smile.<br/><br/>Suddenly, her conversation-partner grew pale at her question regarding how long she had been there, seeming to be in the dark about the exact time. Alicia instantly regretted asking the question and thus bringing grief to her and was about to apologize when she responded. ""I believe I have only been here for a day but.."" Her voice trailed off and she broke eye-contact to look into the fountain. Alicia decided to leave her be for the moment and instead silently awaited her response to the last question, watching a bird hop around on the ground. She jumped somewhat when she responded, as she had fallen into something of a trance as she watched the small bird. I am sorry. I am the Deity of Complexity. I can hear people's thoughts, wake up in others dreams, I am where all the world's curiosity comes from.""<br/><br/>""Uh... woah. That's really... important. Really impressive, compared to what I've got..."" She couldn't help but immediately comment and she lightly scoffed at the end to keep a light feeling on the conversation.<br/><br/>""What about you?"" Evangeline asked in a curious tone and Alicia uneasily smiled as she came up with a response.<br/><br/>""Promise not to laugh? I told you, it's nothing impressive like yours, so..."" Observing her features, however, Alicia could see that Evangeline seemed decent enough not to laugh, no matter how insignificant it was. ""Alright... So, get this; I'm apparently the deity of flight, but I can't even fly by myself. That's some harsh irony, huh?"" She forced herself to chuckle to lighten it down, but it seemed it needed more explanation. ""You see, I can run really fast, I'm as nimble as... some nimble thing, I have an affinity with flying things and I may or may not be able to survive really bad falls, but no flying. Pretty impressive, right?"" She made an sarcastic comment, but just as she finished, a man entered the atrium. Tan and thin of build, he had a casual way of walking and as he opened his mouth, Alicia observed that he had an equally casual way of speaking too.<br/><br/>""I... uh... hope you don't mind me barging in. I'm Ryko.""<br/><br/><i>Subtle.</i><br/><br/>""Endless, or preferably Alicia. A pleasure."" She glared at him for ruining the delicate, fragile but comfortable atmosphere with his entry and even as he sat down and Alicia attempted to return to normal conversation, she couldn't shake the feeling of him being there, watching them. It was definitely not a comfortable feeling. The black haired girl quickly looked for a way to escape the situation and upon finding it, she began to head for the doorway, clearly speaking as she turned away. ""I feel... peckish. Please excuse me."" She curtly saluted (<i>Old habits die hard...</i>) before leaving the atrium and entering the hallway."

He pursed his lips, his chest feeling uncomfortable. What? He looked down, putting his hand over his chest. Why? That was the only question he could ask himself. He'd never been like this with humans. They'd scorn him and attack him for ruining their lives. Someone had to have a easy going attitude, right? He turn to look at the taller female, his heart still squeezing tight, almost as if he were nervous.<b>""Sorry... I didn't mean to make her... or you run off. I just...""</b>He sighed and pulled his legs into his lap, looking towards the doorway where the girl, Alicia, had fled.<b>""Seems I've made her angry...""</b>He mumbled, his eyes showing his sadness.<br/><br/>He turned to the other female, sitting at the fountain.<b>""You can leave and go catch her if you'd like. I'll be fine by myself. Promise.""</b>He told her, a big grin on his face, his cheeks still red hot from embarrassment.<i>Maybe I'm not cut out for this...</i>He thought, putting himself down. He let out a long sigh. He needed to stop being so emotional. Surely, they all wouldn't treat him like that, right? Surely one of them would be kind to him, the Deity of Rebirth. Someone, right?"

He saw others go by him from the corners of his eyes and run to be in the temple. He sighed, there wasn't any reason to try to get in first. What if the temple fell down on top of them? Or if there were traps within the corridors of the temple? Many different scenarios played out in the background of his mind, but none were silenced, only muffled by his want to not show his difference.<br/><br/>He reached the entrance of the temple as another entity sneezed... or roared loudly. It was quite an experience, hearing how loud someone else could be.<i>Was that even human?</i>He said entering the temple, not realizing that out of habit he shut the door behind him. A vision flashed to the front of his mind...<br/><br/>""Is there something wrong, Blaze?"" A small... creature spoke to someone outside the temple door. Apparently, they were friends.<br/><br/>""I do not know how to open a door...""<br/><br/>Xabiz stopped halfway through the hall.<i>Really? He doesn't know how to open a door?</i>He thought, turning around and walking back to the door. When Xabiz got back to the door, he pulled on the door. It didn't have any locking mechanisms, or he didn't see any, and the door opened slightly.<br/><br/>""There. I think that will help Blaze."" Xabiz said aloud, his thoughts becoming too much to just think things through and speaking aloud made it easier to 'hear himself think' as others had put it. He began to walk towards the Atrium as someone was walking towards him.<br/><br/>""Hello."" Xabiz said as they walked towards each other. Although he didn't want to really interact with anyone, everyone deserves a friendly 'Hello' in passing."

It was a very large and interesting place, but he was more interested in the other people. According to the goddess, they were all Deities like himself, but what were they Deities of?

The first was how good-hearted the person that opened the door for him was and the second was how easy it was to open the door himself. It was so trivial, that the simplicity of it made Blaze think he was a complete idiot. Paco burst into laughter.<br/><br/>""You have the wisdom...of a dragon, yet...a door...beat you!"", he tried to say but his words could not be heard clearly through his laughter.<br/><br/>""Like you had any better chance..."" Blaze replied annoyed.<br/><br/>Once again, he saw the person who helped him on the other side of the door.<br/><br/>""There. I think that will help, Blaze""<br/><br/>They looked quite alike as species. He first thought of saying hello, since that is the way humans begin conversating, but then he thought that this is not the right action to take, considering the situation. Instead he replied:<br/><br/>""Thank you very much mister! You are really kind!""<br/><br/>He then remembered that ""mister"" is a honorific that is usually used on older people. Blaze wandered if they had similar age, since he didn't have an idea how older people look like. He even considered asking him if he could breathe fire, a sign that a dragon reaches adulthood, but he abandoned the thought soon. Then it striked him that he knew both his name and the fact that he could not open the door and needed help. He rushed to ask him but the man had already reached the Atrium.<br/><br/>""Hello"", the stranger said to three other people.<br/><br/>With that, Blaze confirmed that humans, as he assumed that this was their race, use ""hello"" as a means of interaction. He then examined the other three people that were there. One of them was leaving the Atrium. Since he only knew of males and females by reading books, he only recognised women from their curves, thus mistaking a young woman for a man, since she was lacking in curves, despite the other obvious differences. He decided to follow Xabiz's example and be friendly.<br/><br/>""Hello lady, mister...and mister who is leaving!"" he said to Evangeline, Ryko and Alice respectively."

Way, way, way too much.<br/><br/>Lethia had entered the large temple, and normally, she would've been able to appreciate it's beauty. Not this time. She had to close her eyes and place her fingertips at her temple. Her senses were on overload as new sensations began to overwhelm her. That tile on the floor was a little crooked, suffering through too many heels stomping on it in it's youth. So what if she fixed the angle...? That fountain, it had too much water flowing out compared to normal days, maybe if it would lessen a little...<br/><br/>Suddenly, Lethia's mind grew still, no longer sensing any of that nagging OCD-esque thoughts. In confusion, she opened her eyes to no longer see anything out of order. The fountain's water flow was slightly less than before, and that tile was no longer crooked. She couldn't tell where it was anymore, actually. She blinked a couple of times before realizing that everything had a new feeling of tranquility and order.<br/><br/>What was going on?<br/><br/>Could this have something to do with her becoming a goddess? Almost immediately, Lethia scoffed at that thought. What would she be a goddess of? OCD-ness? The need for everything to be perfect? That didn't quite fit with herself. Nevertheless, something was going on, something that had changed Lethia's mind forever, and she couldn't tell if it was a good thing or bad.<br/><br/>It was good. Right? Hopefully.<br/><br/>Spotting a group of people chattering near the newly balanced fountain, Lethia drifted silently over to them, halting once she was about 10 feet away from them. Social interaction wasn't her forte, but she felt more at east as she discovered other people here as well. She stared at them in turn, feeling new thoughts swirl around her head.<br/><br/>Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.<br/><br/>She couldn't decipher her new thoughts, they were being muddled and garbled. What was going on? What was her subconscious trying to tell her? Until she figured it out, her head began to ache once again."

She was the deity of flight, but she laughed upon the thought of not being able to fly. She avoided the sick feeling in her stomach as she told her that it wasn't as impressive as her own. She didn't feel impressive at all, she was humble most of all but there were flaws in to being such a deity. But this conversation was no longer about herself, she was now engaged in learning about Ali-bird. She smiled to her own nickname for the woman in front of her, now that she mentioned flight, her eyes did remind her one of an eagle's. Large, bold, and mystical. Her face relaxed due to the immense smiling.<br/><br/>""I think that is a wonderful deity. You are probably light as a feather."" She laughed mildly only to keep the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable. ""I believe you do not only represent flight, with flight comes absolute freedom. Sometimes freedom is the key for happiness in life. What is more free than flight."" This wasn't to comfort her uneasiness about herself but to speak solemnly out of honesty. She went to speak again before a young looking man appeared, she gave him the same warm smile she had given to Ali-Bird. But the tension soon grew thick as she could feel her emotions, yet she kept it to herself. She watched her carefully, until she finally scurried away. She watched after her, not wanting to jolt in to her head and ask her what was wrong. She didn't want to have anyone find her as a freak, or nosy. People usually didn't like the fact she could read their emotions, mind, and even speak to them.<br/><br/>She turned back to the boy who seemed bothered by her reaction but she could not blame him. She wanted to admit that it was a bit harsh, but she was sure Ali-Bird had good reasoning behind it, it could had been the way he sat himself down.. She stayed calm and faced the boy again, only for him to still be processing the girl's flee. She felt slightly offended when the boy assumed she would do the same thing. Evangeline had no reason to run. ""I have no reason to run from you, or to chase her. It is obvious she wants to be left alone."" She looked towards the door and back at him, able to return the smile to her face. She reached out her hand as she sat herself back down on the edge of the fountain. ""Hello, I am Evangeline. Deity of Complexity."" She included it because she figured a pattern would soon begin when she introduced herself to others."

He looked around and he was in a forest, it held florescent plants and strange creatures. He looked around for a moment and sniffed the air he was reassured by the scents he picked up, none of them seemed to be malevolent rather all pleasant calming scents. He relaxed somewhat but remained more or less on guard, he followed the scent at a casual walk and found himself looking at a massive tree and noticed a temple on one of its branches. A woman in golden robes appeared before him extending her hand, in it was an envelope. Actaeon took the note and tore it open, he read it in his head.<br/><br/>“You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.<br/>I know you have waited for some time ever since you were capable of thought.<br/>This is the way it must be my pup, you will train to replace me someday.<br/>~Lupa”<br/><br/>Actaeon looked up from the note and noticed he was in a temple, very light inside compared to the forest outside.

Her smile seemed to warm his heart and calm his soul. Then again, maybe he was just happy to see someone so friendly again. He'd be a hermit for all these years after all. Almost 100 years spent by himself. It was time he saw others. Perhaps, time spent with the memories of humans had made him this way.<br/><br/><b>""It's nice to meet you, Evangeline, Deity of Complexity.""</b>He began. He stood up and made a show of bowing to her. He glanced up at her with a large grin on his face.<b>""I'm Ryko. Deity of Rebirth.""</b>He told her, giving her an awkward smile. He wasn't sure how she would take knowing what he was.<br/><br/>His thoughts were inturrupted by the voice of another man. Turning, Ryko looked at the man. He seemed very.... big and blonde. He spoke, his voice low and gruff.<b>""What's your name?""</b>He asked. Then,<b>""Do you speak Russian? Chinese? English? Perhaps English, yes?""</b>Ryko blinked looking at him. One of his powers allowed him to understand any language. It would be bad if he remembered a person's memory but didn't understand it. He grinned at the man.<b>""Any language will work for me. I'm Ryko, the Deity of Rebirth.""</b>He replied with a small smile, his swirling blue eyes watching the man. What sort of deity was he?"

Immediately, she was overwhelmed by the wave of innocence. Something about adorable person screamed ""Too much!""<br/><br/>This only served to confuse the poor girl further. How could she feel something about someone who she just met, especially because he was kind enough to be concerned for her. Lethia closed her eyes for a brief second, taking in a deep breath to compose herself. She had a sudden urge to take away some of the purity that radiated from him--which was very strange, Lethia wasn't exactly a vengeful person, especially to strangers--there was just too much innocence there.<br/><br/>She mustered a wry smile and gave a slight nod of her head. ""I'm fine, thank you.""<br/><br/>Lethia realized that the more she focused on other things, the easier that urge became to handle. She could balance her rational thoughts with the raw urge, and it worked. This was only a temporary relief however, Lethia was more worried about where that urge came from. Why would she want to cause misfortune to a stranger?"

For in his unwary steps he had stumbled into some pit on this strange new world and the last thought which had went through his head was that he would die in this vast world of greenery and exotic plants. Instead, he realised that he had simply fallen down to a further level of this forest, with the largest tree he had ever seen in his life standing before him. Before he took another step, he checked to make sure he had not dropped any of his gear, which included his strangely new forge tools, and the weapon he had made before he was whisked away to where he was now, the scimitar Drakan.<br/><br/>Glad that nothing had fallen loose, Harreydin raised his head and was surprised by a woman in robes of gold whom suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She presented him with an envelope, and despite his limited literacy, he found himself able to read it perfectly.<br/><br/>Harreydin,<br/><br/>You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.<br/>You may be upset with me now, but you will understand<br/>Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God.<br/><br/>Olmec, The Forge Lord.<br/><br/>In both a mix of shock and awe, Harreydin was speechless and therefore said nothing as he looked back up to find the messenger to have vanished, though he noticed even further beyond where the messenger had been was a path leading up into the tree's branches. As his eyes wandered up he spied a magnificent temple atop one particularly large branch. That must be my intended destination, he thought. So, he adjusted his belt and leggings and folded the letter away in his pocket before beginning his ascent to the temple."

He wanted to be heard but at the same time, he didn't want to interrupt. He sighed and crossed his legs in his seat once more, biting his lips in a bit of a pensive manner. He guess the Deity of Rebirth was a rather broad spectrum. But still, it wasn't his choice. Still, he thought the title sounded cool.<br/><br/>He turned his head to look at Evangeline and then at the new comer.<b>""So... uh... What's your name?""</b>He asked, clearly looking at the man. For some reason, though he didn't know, he felt like the youngest here. Most of the other's he'd seen looked older than him. Though, he could feel in some of them their... new-ness. Maybe it was because he could smell the after effects of their rebirth. Then again, how would he knew? 119 years later and he still hadn't figured it all out. He sighed. There was so much to learn. Good thing he had quite a bit of time to learn it. He wasn't even the God yet. Someone else was filling in for his job while he learned it all, namely his mother. He had to admit, she was one tough cookie for being able to do all of that. He could barely handle what she gave him, which wasn't much. Just the stray soul every now and then and almost never while he was busy."

He then looked behind him and flipped off the wall, landing on his two feet. He walked over to Ryko and knelt next to his chair, he put his hand under it and lifted it with one arm. He held the chair there for a moment just long enough to establish the fact that he was strong then set it back down.<br/><br/>""That might suffice as an answer to what I can do,"" Actaeon said ""I can also do some other things but here I don't know if I can showcase them properly."""

In his mind, he was already calling to his mother, asking him for one small assignment. Within a few moments, he could feel one. He turned to face Actaeon, a smile on his face.<br/><br/><b>""Here is what I do. Or... what I will do.""</b>He told the man and then closed his eyes. He shifted through the souls memories. This was a young girl... no... a woman. A car accident... Ryko inwardly cringed. Mother usually sent him the nicer assignments, old people usually. Those didn't make him quite as sad. but this woman was too young... He sighed and pulled the soul out of her body. Actaeon would see a small white orb form in front of Ryko, a small pulse could be felt within a few feet of it. Ryko opened his eyes to the soul and let it rest in his hands.<b>""This is a soul. It used to be a young woman. Now...""</b>Ryko stopped, listening to the voices in his head.<b>""She shall be a man, a priest, actually.""</b>He explained with a smile on his face. With that, his kissed the small white orb and it vanished, into the stomach of yet another human woman. Ryko smiled over at Actaeon.<b>""That... is what I do.""</b>He explained, already silently thanking his mother.<b>""I also have a healing power but I don't plan on hurting anything to show you that.

He then launched himself to one of the walls, flipped off of it and then picked up another man's seat with him in it.<br/><br/>""That might suffice as an answer to what I can do."" The man said upon finishing.<i>That's it? Increased physical strength and endurance? I don't see why that was necessary to show off.</i>Xabiz thought, futures changing rapidly to match the structural damage that was caused, as well as what that individual can do or cause.<br/><br/>""If you'd like to see a taste of what I do..."" The other man in the chair began to show off his ability. Xabiz didn't understand until the white light appeared in Ryko's hands. Upon looking at it, Xabiz had an influx of futures with unlimited possibilities.<br/><br/>""A soul."" Xabiz said aloud, amazed with the spectacle that took place in front of him.

What God or Goddess would he be replacing?<i>How to say that I don't know, without saying I don't know...</i>He thought, trying to come up with a quick lie and using his visions to see if he had a way out. Even though they had barely even met, the visions showed Xabiz's death often with Actaeon's strength and speed.<br/><br/>""I... don't think what I can do is all that important."" Xabiz said, slowly standing and moving away.<i>Jesus, do I already fear this person I barely know? Stupidity and insanity at the same time.</i>Xabiz wanted an exit. An out.

Even the guy who helped him with the door just ignored him. He was not sure what he was doing wrong. Maybe his breath? He opened his mouth near Paco's nose.<br/><br/>""Does it smell bad?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""I am sure that not many would pick up the discreet smell of smoke from one's mouth, am I right?"" Paco replied, once again in an ironic tone.<br/><br/>""If you ever use a dragonbreath and then your mouth smells like flowers, just let me know.""<br/><br/>His attention then turned to Xabitz, who seemed to mutter something like ""I hate this."". Blaze thought that he owed the young man a favor, so he decided to ask if he could help him in anyway. He was not so sure why, but the young man seemed uneasy, focused too much on his thoughts. He decided to confront him, but then he heard a noise. He turned his gaze to a man performing some sort of acrobatic and strength feats, of course not any of this was something that he himself was incapable of doing.<br/><br/>""Impressed?"" Paco asked.<br/><br/>""You are kidding,right?""<br/><br/>After performing his acrobatics, the man approached landed near another man. He seemed gloom, silent and he seemed to have confidence issues, something that Blaze confirmed from his difficulty in speaking. However, what interested him the most was a closer look on the acrobat. He had animalistic features, like claws and canines. His build was bulky and intimidating, at least to other people. In a way, Blaze felt he was similar to this man, except from the fact that Blaze looked like a human. The other man then summoned a white orb of light and from the sounds of it, Blaze was sure that it was alive. A few moments later the young man left and the other approached Xabitz, from whom Blaze smelled fear.<br/><br/>""I hope he is not trying to attack the gentle guy who helped me."" he thought.<br/><br/>Then he approached Actaeon and grabbed his shoulder.<br/><br/>""Nice build there fella!

HAAA!!!""<br/><br/><i>Slam!</i><br/><br/>Alicia's fist slammed into the marble wall of an empty room inside one of the wings of the temple, crying out in dolour. With an unimpressive bounce, her hand recoiled back, completely painlessly, a probable side effect of her power that made her immune to impacts. This painless feeling only made her attempt to punch with more force and with each jab the wall began to look worse and worse, but her hand remained flawless. Angrily, she gritted her teeth at the only feedback given by the impacts; a jolt up her arm that only lasted a second. The only lasting effect on her seemed to be the wrist wraps that she had made from some cloth she had found in her searches, which were steadily dampening as she began to sweat. Eventually, she discarded the wraps and moved onto kicks, with the same rage and fervour, her cries of fury ringing out in the room but were silenced by the thick stone walls.<br/><br/>Why?<br/><br/>Looking at the situation and past events objectively, one could guess that the reason for this deep rage was perhaps her arrival in this world, the truth being unveiled and the loss of her metal wings. However, it was none of these. In truth, the reason for her total annihilation of the wall was that she was angry at herself for her less than warm reception of the man who had introduced herself as Ryko. Only a few minutes ago, as she walked through the halls of the temple and its surrounding buildings, she had become conscious of the cold shoulder that she had given the man and compounded with the general bad mood of the former situation, she had quickly grown angry with herself.<br/><br/>And that is how we got here. However, midway into her destruction of the wall, it seemed the reason for her anger had changed dramatically.<br/><br/>""Stupid! Tall! Idiot! Calling me... a man!""<br/><br/>Indeed, it looked to be that now the reason for her continued fury was the mayhaps unintentional comment by the deity of dragons.<br/><br/><i>Crack</i><br/><br/>Under the force of the continued, powerful impacts, the block of marble cracked into two pieces. Alicia took this as a sign to stop and decided, after wiping the noticeable sweat off her with the wrist wraps and making sure she didn't carry too much of a smell, to quietly leave the room and she returned into the corridor, giving up the search for food after losing her hunger. Alternatively, she decided to return to the fountain and ask if anyone had plans on what to do. When she reached the doorway to the atrium once again, she made sure to smile as she entered, trying to at least give off a better second impression. Immediately, she noticed a few new faces and instinctively, she lost the smile and put on a guarded expression.<br/><br/>Looking around the atrium, she found Evangeline, still sitting at the fountain, the tall bastard, a thin, pale and lean man with grey eyes, Ryko and a beastly, intimidating looking stranger. Navigating her way through what seemed to be a rather heated discussion, she plopped herself down right next to Ryko, who was lazily relaxing on the pillow and after a moment of silence, spoke earnestly, ""Hey, listen, sorry about earlier. I was in a bad mood, but.. I've worked it out of my system, you know? Anyway, I was wondering if you didn't happen to have any idea of what exactly we're supposed to do here. I'm kind of lost, really."" She smiled weakly in an attempt to give off a more friendly look, but she found it somewhat difficult."

That's the way she enjoyed to be most of the time, to feel the ground underneath her made her feel balanced. The sun was bright, but it only bled through smalls pots of where the jungle reached up to meet the clouds, the rest was in hues of vivid blues and greens. She walked down the temple's long hall way that met out to the open ledge. She also wondered how they would get off of there, they didn't really think they would stay up here forever?<br/><br/>As she reached the entry way, she stopped abruptly not understanding the scene in front of her. It looked as if the two were ready to kill one another to a friendly handshake. She closed her eyes briefly.<i> Don't think about, don't think about it. </i>She couldn't ask herself why when she knew it would be almost unexplainable. Those were the worst thoughts.

Moments later, an exotic, beautiful lady approached them. Her clothes were matching her slender body as if they were sewed for her.

Mixed with all these, was a smell of nervousness.<br/><br/>""I am sorry for interrupting, but I thought I should introduce myself also.""<br/><br/>Her words gave off a vibe of hesitation. Blaze figured out it was normal, seeing a guy with razor-sharp claws, teeth and the strength to make the most of their destructive ability being face to face with a man with red eyes, obviously unintimidated by his murderous features. He was never happy to know that he or his actions terrified someone, or even made him feel uneasy.

It was Paco, who was trying to introduce himself as well.<br/><br/>""Oh, and he is Paco, my long-time friend!""<br/><br/>""Nice to meet you as well, madame"" his little companion said."

Maybe they would not all be the same after all, which puzzled her. Not in a bad way, just knowing her mind would be at work trying to figure out what a dragon child was.<br/><br/>""So you must be special."" Her tone was sincere as much as her statement. If he was not a deity like the rest of the people she had met, maybe that meant that he was special, different. HIs appearance was different, but she learned to not judge from the outside, she had learned a lot more about how appearance hardly matters to a true person's emotions.<br/><br/>""I am sorry, by the way. For not noticing you before."" She stopped, her hand moved to cover her mouth but she stopped it. She hadn't learned that from remembering his appeerance but his thought had slipped in to her head. She tucked her hair behind her ear as her face became red. ""I am sorry, I try my hardest not to do that... but.."" She gripped the side of her arm and looked away. She hated that, and people hated that. To know that someone could read their thoughts, but she would never do it for her own convenience, it was only nature for her mind to grasp people around.<br/><br/>She looked down and smiled to see the small creature close to Blaze's ankles. She leaned down to get a better look at him and widened her smile.<br/><br/>""Nice to meet you Paco, Evangeline."" She leaned back up and then looked to the doors outside. She looked back at Blaze and pointed towards outside of the temple. ""I was planning to go outside, would you care to join me?"" Her voice was soft and tranquilant again. She turned and began to make her way out slowly enough for the man to be able to keep up with her if he chose to do so."

Sure he was stronger than most of his kind, but that was all. However, the sincerity that emitted from her words made Blaze feel that way. It was a first for him to see someone speak gently to him from the time he left from his home, with the exception of Paco. Throughout his journey he only met wild animals that tried to devour him. Even here, the first person who greeted him has grabbed his throat first. He was not afraid once, but he sometimes felt that he was standing out.Before he could reply, Evangeline continued:<br/><br/>""I am sorry, by the way. For not noticing you before.""<br/><br/>Her sudden blushing and pose, along with her apology made Blaze feel uneasy. It's not like she did something wrong, or at least something that bothered him. She then greeted Paco and asked if Blaze would join her outside. She was the first person to approach him and he was really happy for the invitation.<br/><br/>""It would be a pleasure!"" Blaze replied and followed her in the same slow pace that she walked. ""By the way, I think that what you did was really amazing, knowing what I thought, I mean. Don't feel bad, I don't have anything to hide. This is one of your powers, I assume?"""

Did... she tell him her name before? He couldn't remember... It's a wonder he was even able to remember his own name. With how much information went through his head everyday, it was a wonder it was still functioning.<i>Part of the magic, I suppose.</i>Still.. He looked over at the girl as she seemed to be much more chatty now, having apologized for earlier. Slowly, a smile crept onto his face, listening to her talk.<br/><br/><i> ""Hey, listen, sorry about earlier. I was in a bad mood, but.. I've worked it out of my system, you know? Anyway, I was wondering if you didn't happen to have any idea of what exactly we're supposed to do here. I'm kind of lost, really."" </i>She said, with an attempted smile.<br/><br/>Ryko chuckled, seeing the awkward nature of her smile.<b>""You don't have to pretend to smile. Though, I would prefer you smile. People are always more beautiful when they smile, don't you agree?""</b>He told her, flashing her his pearly whites, a playful look in his eyes.<b>""As to what we're doing here...""</b>He began, trying to collect his thoughts.<b>""From what I saw on the letter, I'm assuming we're just meant to stay here and... find ourselves? I know it's sounds rather mushy but... I think it's what we're meant to do. You know? Come to terms with who we're supposed to be and what to do with that.""</b>He paused.<b>""From the looks of it, we all need that... reflection.""</b>He continued, chuckling.<b>""Though...""</b>He began again, looking around the room.<b>""It seems as though some of us are more informed as to our situation than others.""</b>He said, more reflecting than actually telling her anything.<b>""Oh. I never caught your name.""</b>He blurted out, turning now to look at her again, a small smile on her face and in his eyes.<br/><br/>As usual, his deep blue eyes were swirling, twinkling, almost as if one could see the souls, the memories held there. To him, it was like a computer in his head, one he could thankfully turn off and on as he pleased, though the voices never really stopped. To him, he could see the souls, their timelines, all of their different lives that make them who they are. It was so beautiful, so magnificent, it made him sick sometimes. It likes how the humans refer to God as this being so beautiful one cannot even spare to look at him for more than a second before their eyes burst into flame and they never see again. It was like for him, painfully beautiful."

It was warm out but not enough to break a sweat with the cool breeze that carried through. She still couldn't fathom just how beautiful this played had turned out to be. She stopped and stared until she looked back at him a bit surprised. He then asked her if that had been one of her powers. Could she really call it a power? Nothing great ever came out of interfering with someone's thoughts and emotions. The real secret is that she could manipulate a person's thoughts or emotions, something else she never wanted to do nor speak about with others. It could be a cruel outcome when used wrong.<br/><br/>""I suppose it is. I try hard not to, the mind is a delicate place for one. Every thing that matters is held captive in a place only meant for one person. Why should I abide the rules and be able to assault one's thoughts."" She began to ramble her thoughts, thankful that she was capable of stopping when she did, she could run on for hours if he allowed. She made her way to the edge, to look down wondering when she'd be able to touch the earth's core again. She turned to face him. ""What is one of your powers, Dragon child?"" Her smile was now playful as if she was playing tag with questions from him."

I want to be free again!"".<br/>She opened her eyes.<br/>- A letter on my chest? What is this?<br/>She opens the letter and reads it:<br/><br/>You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.<br/>You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand<br/>Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God.<br/>Your own<br/>.<br/>After reading the letter the next thing she saw was not the oak tree that she was sleeping it was a huge tree on its place and next to it a temple she never had seen before ""i dont remember travelling to another planet"" she tought . Nevertheless she was curious what temple that was and started moving to it. Moving up the stairs she sees a huge temple and before that a massive metallic man,reffering to conquestus "" What a rusty and ugly looking robot doing on a beautiful temple as this"" she thought. ""Maybe its out of batteries"" she thought again.<br/>- ""Maybe its the person which gave me the letter"" she said<br/>-""I know what ill do ill search for the batteries that he may need and recharge him"" she said and started looking on the ""metallic"" man with one purpose<br/><br/>- Maybe he knows the meaning of the letter..."

The scenery was as beautiful as ever. The limitless sky in front of him, the same sky that he used to appreciate when in a dragon's back. His face gave off a nostalgic feeling, as he was curious if everyone was all right. He was lost in his thought for a moment, then he remembered he was not alone. He didn't want to create a gloomy atmoshpere. He locked his thoughts to the bottom of his mind.<br/><br/>""I suppose it is. I try hard not to, the mind is a delicate place for one. Every thing that matters is held captive in a place only meant for one person. Why should I abide the rules and be able to assault one's thoughts.""<br/><br/>Blaze could guess how hard it might have been for her to have powers that went against her ethics. Constantly having to control her own thoughts, emotions, so they don't mix with another person. It certainly was not something that anybody could handle.<br/><br/>""I believe that you must be a really strong-willed person, being able to cope with your powers. I am impressed!"" he commented.<br/><br/>She walked to the edge of the platform the temple was standing at. Blaze stopped a few steps behind, as he thought that he should let her appreciate the view undisturbed. He has seen the panoramic view of Desnia quite a few times, so he knew its magnificence. Later, the young woman asked him what was one of his own powers in a joyful tone.<br/><br/>""My powers? Well, I am not as impressive as most people I have seen around here. I was raised by dragons, but some time before I left for my journey, I learned that I wasn't born there. Despite that, the dragons raised me as one of their own. Steadily, I acquired their knowledge, wisdom, power..."", he paused, then, gently, flames came out from his mouth, forming the form of Evangeline dancing slowly in a cicrle of fire.<br/><br/>""And their flames...I hope I didn't freak you out...By the way, what do you want to do, I mean, before we got here."" he concluded."

Her eyes dazzled like the night sky, as dark as they were they seemed to shine bright. One thing about herself she enjoyed, her eyes were also used as a passage, a bond age of the soul. Something beautiful yet terrifying, her eyes being one of her most lethal weapons. She smiled as he gave her remorse for something she found to be wrong, but that was why she was here. To learn.<br/><br/>She looked back over the ledge momentarily before scanning the area where she stood, a large stone bench sat no father than a few feet from them. She carefully made her way to the bench and sat down with her hands in her lap. She looked up to him, fairly interested In his story about being raised by dragons. She had always loved the thought of dragons, she spent time reading always bout different genres, different ways to train dragons but she hadn't believed them to be true, but Blaze's passion about it made it sound surreal.<br/><br/>Evangeline could not help but to smile wide, as if nostalgia surrounded her. Soon a figure of her own was formed out of flames, they mixed so perfectly that it almost looked harmless. She reached out cautiously to watch watch a flame spark and dance around her fingers. She smiled as she watched it dance before disappearing. He apologized but she could only smile, examining her hand.<br/><br/>""I could feel your affinity, fire. You have a very unique bond because it does not come from only fire but a stronger sense of heat which I'm guessing comes from your bold companions. How fascinating"" She looked up at him, her face bright. She laughed quietly before stopping due to his next question. Her smile lightened but not leave her face. "" I was not sure if I'm honest with you, I didn't spend a lot of time in my own mind so it is quite difficult to know where I was going."" She looked at him with a shrug, just a soft one. She leaned back letting her hair float more freely. ""Please do not think of me as misfortuned, I know I may pity myself. But life is a thrill is it not?"" Her smile brightened once more. ""What about you?"""

He was glad that she enjoyed it,instead of fearing it. Before he realized it, he had a wholehearted smile. He finally had a person he could speak to, without having to hide anything about himself. He sighed of relief and enjoyed her speech about his flames. Her speech was so elegant, fitting a Deity like herself. Her words touched him, like he never knew a thing about his flames and had to learn about them from the very beginning. However, he sensed her sense of discomfort on his next question. Her answer, followed by a slight shrug made Blaze wonder if he made a mistake asking such a question. However with her next question, it was Blaze's turn to lose his smile.<br/><br/>""Please do not think of me as misfortuned, I know I may pity myself. But life is a thrill is it not? What about you?""<br/><br/>Blaze approached the edge of the platform as well. He looked at the green, blue and brown colours of nature, sea and mountains respectively. Uneasiness filled his expression.<br/><br/>""Somewhere down there, there is a dragon..."", he closed his eyes and sighed, this time not from relief, but from sadness.<br/><br/>""...That I have to kill."" he continued. ""A dark dragon, halbringer of destruction. Some time ago, before I was born, a Dragon named Urumel betrayed his kin, slaughtering dragons, his reason unknown. He is considered the strongest of all dragons and he is pure evil. Everywhere he lands, becomes a sight of black flames. Nothing more. Now, it is my task to kill one of my own, even if he is evil."" he said, his voice slightly shaking.<br/><br/>He looked at her once again, her face somewhat calming him down.<br/><br/>""Life might be a thrill, but sometimes an unpleasant one...But everyone carries his own cross, so I am not complaining"", he concluded with a discreet smile."

She wanted to argue against the thought of death before reason, but many see a eye for an eye. She fixed her face quickly not to offend. She looked over the edge along with him.<br/><br/>""Pure evil.. What do we believe to be truly evil? We all live by different morals so who is to say is who is in the wrong doing."" She was doing it again. She stood up, her eyes began to flicker, from dark hues of greys to white but not a scary way. They seemed to be adjusting. ""Some people believe death is meant for people who kill people, people say the worst is deserved to those who conflict pain and tragedy to others, but then we believe that pain is the correct punishment? We don't think far enough in to one's journey to reconsider if their life is worth providing."" She turned to face him understanding that her statement was overbarring, and bias. ""But please do not mistake me, some people do not deserve to live, but.. like I said, the mind is a delicate place..."" Her face slightly grew grim as she imaged an unpleasant memory. ""I was once stuck inside the head of a man who was on something called 'Death Row?' that is what they call it correct? Well, he shared with me his most elicit thoughts, I found him beautiful and fell in love with his ideas... His last words were, 'My Lizzy-Rose."" She paused and smiled to look back at him.<br/><br/>""His daughter that is, she died at the age of three for some unknown reason, he was only trying to do best by her."" She paused her eyes, fully dazzling in the color of the moon. ""He did horrible things, terrible. But he only wanted everything he could get for his daughter. Life punished him by loving too much, but he couldn't love her enough."" She smiled once more as she could see his vivid dreams of them playing together at the local park. She stopped. Looking up quickly her eyes faded back to the glitter black. ""I am sorry, I sometimes can't stop that."" She giggled even though her heart was heavy. She smiled back up at him, this one a playful one again to revive the atmosphere they had going. ""Life is only pleasant to those who allow it to be pleasant. But do not doubt yourself, most would say your cross is a noble one."" She knew she had smiled too much, but she didn't know what else to do. A smile was something she didn't take lightly, it was respect, affection, comfort something she wanted to provide for everyone.<br/><br/>""I am not sure why I am here. I am supposed to learn about myself instead of everyone around me, well inside my own thoughts."""

Blaze thought that this may be because of the fact that she saw the images she described through the person who lived them,instead of hearing them from a wandering story teller. As she continued, Blaze had a bigger understanding of the burden her powers had. She finished her story and Blaze had but one question.<br/><br/>""If evil is subjective,then good is as well...so has this man ever considered what would his daughter think of his actions? Would she be able to bear the shame, if she managed to live, because of her father's atrocities?""<br/><br/>He could not utter those words, not after seeing her smile again. Instead he remained silent, even though Evangeline could simply find out what he was thinking at the moment. Her final words made him think how hard it might be to unwillingly have to cling to the memories of another.<br/><br/>""I hope that you find what you seek, Evangeline...if I am allowed to call you so familiarly."" he humbly said.<br/><br/>He then continued:<br/><br/>""I also believe that a smile is one of the greatest blessings!""<br/><br/>Although he didn't have her powers, he was certain that this was what she was thinking.<br/><br/>He was interrupted by Paco, who pointed over another lady who seemed to examining a 4 meter tall armor.<br/><br/>""Shall we check out what is going on?"" he asked."

""Of course you may call me that, you may call me whatever you please."" She liked nick names, like Ali-Bird the name she gave to the young woman she had met yesterday, Endless. Evangeline truly adored the name Endless, but the girl had seemed to disapprove of her own name. She didn't know what to say when he wished her good luck. When she thought about finding herself, she didn’t know what to expect out of the outcome. It also didn’t mean it would be positive or negative for that fact, but she took the luck and held it close. Anything was better than not trying.<br/><br/>She blinked a few times when he mentioned the smile, she thought momentarily but forced herself to push it from her thoughts. Like how could he have known that? Did she say it to him? No. Let’s not do that right now, she had kept herself pretty balanced for the time being. Luckily his next question distracted her from her thoughts.<br/><br/>“Why not?” She wasn’t exactly sure what they were going to go see but she didn’t mind adventure. She stood along side of him and let him lead the way."

Physically, he was stronger than her, or at least he thought so, so he didn't want to take any chances. After walking a few meters, they approached a gigantic, shady statue and someone on top of it. Blaze was certain she was a female, because of the curves, the only way for him to recognize women. She seemed to be examining the statue, but he was not sure why. The statue was emitting some kind of dark aura, something that didn't match the holiness that described the rest of the temple. In addition, it was not place in an architectonically logical position, like it was randomly there. Something was off. Blaze concentrated on his hearing. He tried to listen if the man inside the armor had a heartbeat, but to no avail. Maybe the armor secluded the heartbeat, or maybe it was indeed a statue...or it was alive and had no heartbeat. The idea seemed unreal, but all this time Blaze was durrounded by Deities, so it wouldn't seem impossible. Then he examined the runes on the shield of that thing and compared them to any runes he spotted in the temple. No match. He turned to Evangeline.<br/><br/>""I am pretty sure that this motionless statue does not belong here and, even though it's a hunch, I think that it is alive."" he said.<br/><br/>Then he turned to the woman on top of it.<br/><br/>""Excuse me miss, but it might not be safe to mess with this thing. It might be dangerous!"" he said aloud."

After closer examination on its runes she were sure she had seen them before. ""Where have i seen those runes?"" she thought. Nevertheless she continued searching him. Untill she saw a blue gem emmiting some kind of light in the chest of the giant. ""This is it !"" she yelled<br/>-I might be able t recharge him by shocking this gem in the middle. she said<br/>On the road down the giant she heard a noise. something like ""it is dangerous""<br/><br/>This is when for the first time for a while she felt a presence. A gentle presence,a furious presence,an angry presence. ""No way all those come from one person"" she noded.<br/>When the way down made it posssible she saw a bunch on people coming at her. ""Maybe they leave here.. Maybe they have answers!"" she thought.

He couldn't even follow her presence. Her attire was quite revealing, covering only her sensitive spots. Blaze was not sure if this was an appropriate or innapropriate way of dressing oneself, but he supported the latter idea. Her aura was a mystery itself, not evil, but not a gentle one either. He was curious about this woman. A friend? An enemy? Neither of them? She asked them if they knew where they are, a question Blaze couldn't answer confidently either.<br/><br/>""She must have been brought here like us..."" he thought.<br/><br/>He approached closer to the woman and extended his hand.<br/><br/>""I am the Dragon Child, Blaze. Just like you, we have been mysteriously brought here without explanation. From what I know so far, most of the people around us are Deities of some kind, while others, like myself, are unaware of their arrival here, because we do not share that status. This is my friend, Evangeline and this is my companion, Paco. Nice to meet you!"" he responded.<br/><br/>Paco this time did not introduce himself. Instead he was hiding behind Blaze. His insticts were telling him that this woman is dangerous. Blaze noticed his action and decided to be on his guard. He didn't have any intention of not trusting the woman before him, but he had to protect both Paco and Evangeline.<br/><br/>""So, who are you, miss?"" he asked."

Whilst people should know his legends and tales from biblical stories across many universes and dimensions. Suddenly some supposedly clueless female figure appeared and spoke to him, due to his war torn body he was unable to hear her untill she spoke about some ''ugly robot'' He turned and immedietly towered above her, his piercing eyes would have almost paralized her if she was a normal female, however as clueless as she seemed she'd just jump around aimlessly. ''I am Conquestus, God of Conflict...'' His voice covered the entire area and seemed to flow with the wind, letting everyone around the area hear his wartorn and experienced tone of speech, yet it was distorted as if he was a spirit trying to speak, his voice sounded truly demonic more then angelic, as was expected by someone like him.<br/><br/>''Speak your purpose...'' He commanded coldly, the voice of a leaderly figure and a knowledgable tactician and strategist covered the entirity of his voice. The armored plates of which nearly covered his entire body seemed to expell some kind of blue and red mist, it all floated towards the sky in a beautiful yet terrifying formation and mixture of colors and shapes along the pillar of mist which originates from his armor plates.<br/><br/>Continuing to blaze his gaze down upon her he took in his surroundings at the same time, inside the temple of which he didn't deserve to enter there were quite the few figures, apparently he was the only one figure who was to unholy to enter such a great temple, truly, the only temples of which he was able to enter was those who were made to worship him and his own personal fortress cathedral. He gazed seemingly through the temple and spotted an angered deity, the downed fighter pilot, she would need to cope her emotions to ascend into power levels such as his own, because without doubt he was the strongest here when it came to a duel, which would occure, given time, conflict does always appear, no matter what you do to conceal and keep it from happening.<br/><br/>He spotted some kind of dragon connected man, obviously a form of divinity and a deity of complexity. An interesting mix, since the deity of complexity was acting more one-sided than what complexity stands for, he guessed the dragon deity must be quite the figure. With the titans shield in hand and the sword on his back he looked back at the tiny woman, standing as still as ever."

With that he confirmed that the armor is alive.<br/><br/>""I hate it when I am right..."" he muttered.<br/><br/>He was enormous. His shadow covered all of them and his eyes were intimidating to stun even the most brave of the warriors. His thick armor was worn out from what it seemed to be thousands, even millions of battles, indicating his experience. Blaze couldn't help but think that this deity might be stronger than himself, a thing he made him feel uneasy, considering he had to protect three people. He would suggest for the others to run, but he thought it would be best not to seperate from him, since he didn't know the abilities of that thing. While Blaze was thinking of what would be the best course of action, the entity introduced itself as Conquestus, the Deity of Conflict. The sheer sound of his voice annoyed Blaze due to his sensitive hearing.<br/><br/>""The Deity of Conflict, he says...How am I supposed to defeat someone who is born for battles?"" he thought.<br/><br/>His thoughts were once again interrupted by Conquestus, who continued:<br/><br/>""Speak your purpose...""<br/><br/>Is he calm? Is he angry? Of course, almost everyone would be angry if someone stepped on them, more so if they had a reputation such as his. He also didn't give of a ""nice to meet you"" impression. Blaze took the initiative to talk to Conquestus. He stepped in front of the woman and said:<br/><br/>""I am the Dragon Child, Blaze. I apologize if the lady insulted you, but she was unaware of your identity and of the fact that you were alive. We were brought here, probably like you were. We do not intend to cause a conflict, so please accept my apology.""<br/><br/>He thought that it was ironic to use ironic the world ""conflict"" to the Deity that represented it. He hoped that his choice of words would calm the Deity down and ensure everybody's safety."

Still nothing. It has been millions of years since she ever set foot to another planet and even have a discussion. ""Dragons huh"" she smirked.""I remember the first one ever born. she hatched from an egg and she were beatiful as the full moon night"" said. After a sort period of time she heard a voice coming from above and behind her. She turned behind seeing the robot looking at her and callin himself God of conflict. ""So my actions and all the civilization wars had this result?"" she asked herself and then she remember that her brother told her about this so called God and his powers on the bettlefield<br/><br/>""I knew i had seen those runes before"" she said , When those words heard Blaze was already in front of her trying to protect Indra but the dragon boy seemed scared.<br/>The ground on her feet started crumbling, started to levitate in the air forming a platform on which Indra was standing. It started moving towards the head of Conquestus , and then a Voice heard not from the mouth of Indra but it was the noise of the wind helping her to use the same tone as Conquestus did. ""Im Indra. The Elements themselves! I am here for some answers conserning this letter."" the voice stopped as she was showing the letter to him."

''Step aside Dragon child...'' He said, the pillar of mist rising now beyond the clouds, which brought it out of view. The allfather had told him about this Indra, he had created her during the birth of this universe, however she has went beyond selfish, she believes that she has any influence upon the deity of conflict? He was born a million universes ahead of her and lived through multiple billions upon that. His experience is beyond anything she'd understand and she claims herself responsible for civilizations and wars?<br/><br/>''The elements have connection with the mind of mortals...'' He mentioned cold bloodedly, after that however she went beyond madness and took up aggressiveness towards the deity which has lived nothing but war for millions of universes worth of time. ''You hold no say over my actions...'' He commanded and then continued yet again. ''The allfather made you very self obsessed, I see...'' He reached for the Vanquisher of Conflict and in an instant of motion and time he drew it and smashed it against the ground. ''Listen now...'' He demanded in his usual voice tone. ''The allfather existed before this supposed Genesis of existance, he created it as he's done many times before, when a universe is at it's limit, when it's resources are exhausted he destroyes it and rebuilds it anew, as a creation of the first universe. This is but one child of previous millions of universes.''<br/><br/>He readied himself rather obviously and used his piercing gaze to cower the dragon child into submission, Inbra he'd not be so sure about forcing fear upon her, simply because she was too... Clueless. ''The allfather wrote it to you, as he did everyone, he is the father of all, the creator of everythin and nothing. I am his champion, and even whilst knowing this...'' He stopped, the earth beneath his feet started to rustle and crack, the earth actually defied gravity and floated up towards the sky, just like the unknown mist. ''You dare take up arms towards me?''"

It has been a long time since Blaze felt intimidation of such magnitude. The air got thinner and the sheer pressure he emmited was equivalent to some of the strongest dragons. However, he took a step forward.<br/><br/>""I have lived with dragons long enough to overcome such hardships. Although not my intention, even if it is the God of Conflict, then I will not step back, for the honor of all dragons!""<br/><br/>His voice echoed throughout the temple, just like the voice of the other two did. Slowly, his canines got sharper and a dim light appeared from the left side of the chest. Blaze removed his clothes and revealed a dragon-shaped scar, glowing in the colours of the hottest of flames, a dragon's flames. He walked past Conquestus' weapon and stepped right in front of him, emmiting his own aura, an aura of ferocity, wildness and superiority, the aura of of a dragon. He asked Paco to step back, stating that things might take a turn for the worst and protect Evangeline. His face was serious, unlike the smiling self he usually has. Then he turned to Conquestus and said:<br/><br/>""I shall ask you to refrain from fighting here one last time, Deity of Conflict. We do not have to start a battle with so many innocents around."""

They looked towards Conquestus as if they were equal, however sad the truth is, they were far from it, whilst Conquestus hated the work of which he is forced to endure he knows that the burden is his to endure and no one elses. ''I will not help you, nor any of your brothers, they know nothing of the experiences and hardships I've endured and I'd be surprised if they could trump me in combat...'' His voice was emotionless as previously however the rocks around him fell to the ground, and the mist pillar began to fade slowly. ''You underestimate me...''<br/><br/>He then shoved away the dragon child, unknowingly doing so rather brutishly.''Speak your purpose...'' He repeated yet again. However his grip around the runic sword which scale was greater then even those infront of him, the Vanquisher of Conflict would give off an aura of it's own, one of terror and death, it outshined that of even Conquestus. ''You're staring at the forge work of the Allfather, himself.'' He remakred as they would've looked at the Runic Sword making itself noticed."

It was the first time someone pushed him away like that, even more so without breaking a sweat. He recognized that Conquestus is outside his league. But instead of giving up, once again he stood up. He wasn't sure why, but an urge of excitement rushed, giving a shiver through his spine. Was it the challenge to overcome an obstacle? Or maybe the pleasure of finding someone stronger. That he could not answer. Paco rushed to him and asked if he was all right. He smirked.<br/><br/>""So there are guys like this out there, huh? Maybe this guy can help me awaken my abilities, like I was requested. I just hope i will not die before I do so."" he said and brushed his lips with his hand.<br/><br/>Paco had never seen Blaze so eager for a battle. He was usually collected and calm. Maybe it was because it was the first time he could go all out against someone else, test his limits and see how far he could go. Blaze dashed once again to Conquestus. A few meters away from him, he jumped at the height of his head. His figure was even more ominous from up close. Blaze took a deep breath.<br/><br/>""Well, Lancelot, you are strong, but can you cope with my flames?"" he said and spewed a huge flame from his mouth."

''Fool...'' He voiced as he ripped the sword from the ground, the almost instantaneous swing closed the distance between the two in a flash, with the huge edge of the runic blade so close to the face of Blaze he did most likely not expect the power bound to the Allfather's blade.<br/><br/>The invisible force which followed in the wake of the blade would shake even the foundations of the tree itself, and the weaker trees in the distance would fall to the force of the blade. He then raised his shield, Protector against Unjustice and the flame was seemingly absorbed by the incredible strenght of the shields armor. ''This will be your warning... Do not face me in combat...'' He demanded as he, once again, burried the swords blade into the ground."

However, the battle could not help but stir him up. His heart was now pounding from excitement, his fist trembling from impatience. The Deity of Conflict was by far the strongest being he ever faced, maybe the strongest thing he would ever encounter. However, all these disadvantages only made him smile. Not a smile of confidence, but a smile of pleasure. He knew that he must have been insignificant in front of the Deity's incalculable power, but he would not be satisfied with that. He once again stood up. His face was bleeding and he injured his ribs. Luckily they weren't broken.<br/><br/>""Even my flames didn't work. But considering he used his shield, then if hit by them, that must mean they might do some damage to him after all...Well, if I don't get at least a clean hit, I won't be satisfied."" he thought.<br/><br/>Blaze calculated any possible tacticts. He knew that he could not take advantage of the weight of Conquestus's weapons, since the Deity was capable of using them as if they were weightless. He also didn't have any blind spot, despite having an almost defenseless stance. That left him with only one option. Head-on assault. He looked at his opponent once again.<br/><br/>""Stop? No way...This is my chance to seize the top! It is an honor by itself to fight with you, so I might as well savor it! Thank you, Deity of Conflict!"" he said aloud.<br/><br/>He once again dashed to Conquestus. He jumped just like before, but this time he spewed his dragonbreath on the ground, giving himself a speed boost, in order to make Conquestus miss the timing of the attack and headed for a full-powered punch to the Deity's head.<br/><br/>""It's all or nothing now!"", was the thought that flashed through his head."

''Fool...'' He stated blindly at Blaze's statements, battle for the sake of anticipation was the works of a fool and the thing of unexperience. ''Charge me if you dare continue this duel, I will not give you any further chances...'' He spoke up, his voice towering over even the lightning of the battlefield.<br/><br/>The previous mist had found itself wrapped around the Vanquisher of Conflict, supposedly powering it for somekind of reason, the sword itself was mumbling, voices were generated by the sword, voices of the past, the blood engraved on the sword started to generat voices from those whom it once belong, and their rage was being focused into the blade. The invisible chackles and chains crushing and keeping him to the surface grew ever more visible as the blades power increased with the rage of these voices, both men and women, even children.<br/><br/>His eyes pierced seemingly through Blaze and his observant glare studied his every move. The fool would be demolished straight to pandemonium. ''Give me another chance and I will demolish you...''

It was true. While his firstmost intention was to protect her, Paco and the other woman, his behavior from the menacing Deity, in the end he acted like nothing more than a wild beast. It was a side of him he never knew he had. Would that happen everytime he faced someone strong? The idea terrified him. He didn't consider the fact he would die at all. As capable a fighter he was in this world's standarts, the powers of other beings was just overwhelming. He stopped his attacks and the scar ceased to shine. His canines became normal as well. He pitied himself. He stood up from Conquestus' last assault. Once again he couldn't land a hit. But he couldn't care less about that right now. He stood up, dusted off his clothes and body. He moved forward without lifting his head and appeared before Conquestus.<br/><br/>""I am sorry for my behavior, Deity of Conflict. I am clearly not your equal in battle. Thanks for sparing my life."" he said.<br/><br/>He then turned his back on the Deity, not in a rude or arrogant way, but because he didn't have anything else to say. He picked the rest of his clothes from the ground. Once again, he covered his scar. He still didn't lift his head, just passing by everyone. Before passing by Evangeline, he said:<br/><br/>""I am sorry...You didn't deserve to see this.""<br/><br/>His voice was trembling, as if he was holding tears, tears of regret, that is.

Blaze was fully aware that he could not go against him, but he wouldn't endager his new friend. However, Concuestus' purpose seemed not to be a battle, but it might as well have been. The words he spoke insulted Blaze, because he felt like he was spared because he was supposedly a deity. He raised his arms at shoulder's length.<br/><br/>""I am not one of the Deities you just spoke of. If ynu want to kill me because I incurred your wrath then so be it. I don't have something to lose!"" he said.<br/><br/>Then he turned his head to Innocentius.<br/><br/>""Don't worry Inno, I will not let anything happen to you!"""

Do not speak of battle so lightly!'' He roared.at the boy. ''Do you know of the experience where you are forced to kill endless numbers without end, the greatest pause of all ended within minutes. I've killed children and women, fathers and mothers. I've layed waste to entire families, all because I am what I am. I was forced to bare the burden no one else could carry. You have no right to speak of warfare so lightly, and when I give you another chance you shall grab it!'' He continued, his rage was not directed at the boy, but the allfather, he felt his chains pull greater and the ground he stood on started to crack and break. It was at such an incredible force that he almost kneeled down to the Allfather whom obviously controlled these Chains, however he glared at the sky in retaliation, standing up to the greatest of his ability. Suddenly the millions of chains became visible and he was pushed down into a kneeling position at a very quick pace. ''Your accursed chains.. They will not bind me forever!''<br/><br/>He struggled against the chains to stand up again, he succeded untill the force became increasingly unbareable, yet he managed to stand up, the allfather must've respected his final stand because the chains' force began to weaken and their appearence started to fade into invisibility yet again. His fury was unmatchable at this stage, however his stand against the deity above all forced the allfather to respect his anger. He continued to stare at the beautiful sky, seemingly staring through it, to the ends of the universe."

However, he couldn't help but sympathize with the Deity, despite listening to the atrocities he had commited. Of course, he knew that such power would have an even greater cost. Then the Deity's movements changed, like they were forced. There was something that seemingly pulling him down, no matter how much Conquestus struggled to go against them. Blaze wondered what happened. There was nothing that seemed to hold the Deity down and he couldn't even imagine him be held down by anything, anyway. At one point, he wandered if the Deity was demented from the endless slaughter he had caused and imagined everything. However, he was immediatly mistaken, as millions of chains appeared out of nowhere. Despite his valiant effort, the Deity of Conflict surrendered to the seemingly unbearable force that made him kneel. The sight ended with Conquestus muttering:<br/><br/>""You accursed chains...They will not bind me forever!""<br/><br/>Once again, Conquestus struggled to go against the chains that held him and somehow managed to stand on his feet. Blaze empathized with the now silent Deity who stared at the sky. He was the second person he met with a burden proportionate to his powers, the first being Evangeline, albeit his was greater. The Deity looked up to the sky and Blaze hypothesized his stare was directed to the being that made him suffer. After seeing all this, Blaze was convinced about what he wanted to do. He turned to Conquestus and said:<br/><br/>""You may consider me insignificant, I may not have even a fraction of your power and you are right, I don't know a thing about mass-scale slaughtering, even more if you are forced to do it. But now I know why you suffer and I know what I want to do. I swear on my pride, I will do whatever I can and even more to end your suffering and help you gain your freedom!""<br/><br/>Then he turned to the sky and directed his voice to the figure he assumed that placed these chains on Conquestus:<br/><br/>""No matter how strong you are and what is your purpose, if you think that obligating someone to eternally kill for whatever reason is your justice, then my justice is to set Conquestus free and smack you one on the way!""<br/><br/>Even though he knew that right now he might as well have been provoking an omnipotent being, Blaze did not regret it at all. He was disgusted by the crazy logic of the All-Father and he was ready to do whatever it takes to free Conquestus."

He hadn't wanted Blaze to fight, especially after he had lost the first time, but Blaze seemed very presistant, so Inno didn't try to stop him. He would have only gotten in Blaze's way. However, the fight seemed to not have happened. There was a lot of talking about some very huge stuff, but no fight. Inno gave a sigh of relief and wiped his for head. Another fight could have been disastrous."

When small infants are in their mother's arms being drifted to sleep, one of her favorite 'All the pretty Little Horses'. Her humming turned in to words as she sang through the large halls where the soft words echoed against the walls, and the birde chimed in. She smiled as she began to twist and twirl around the open space, the temple was truly beautiful. She then looked out of the window, staring out to the open jungle, wondering when she would find the courage to step off of the temple and out in to the wilderness.<br/><br/>She then became distracted by a scent, she could smell the warm spices and sauces drizzled over cooked meets and other veriety of food. She quickly followed the scent until it opened in to a large dining room, she wasted no time to make herself a plate of some red meat, and bread with a glass of what seemed to be red wine, which made sense. These were the usual things offered to gods. She sat herself down in the empty room and began to fill her stomach with the most delicious food she had had in a long time, but then she soon wondered... who had cooked all of this? Were there others here that she did not know about."

In fact, he was worried if he would be all right alone. He was amused of the irony that he empathized with the one responsible for every conflict in the multiverse.<br/><br/>""I must be crazier than I thought..."" he murmured.<br/><br/>With the Deity dissappearing, Blaze once again turned to Innocentius. He was hiding behind a tree. Blaze considered him blessed for not wanting to take part in any fight. He wished he never had to fight too, but he knew it was impossible.<br/><br/>""You can come out now! It's safe!""<br/><br/>He waited until the boy got closer and continued:<br/><br/>""I am thinking of setting off once again, want to come?"""

Explains why no one is here...</i>Xabiz thought, standing up. He wondered where everyone went, taking a walk to the temple entrance. He witnesses the giant statue of a man, Blaze and another blond haired boy... talking, perhaps? As if on a whim, the statues movements became more rigid, almost forced. Seemingly out of nowhere, millions of chains appeared pulling the statue down to kneel.<i>Where do the chains spawn from? Who controls them?</i><br/><br/>""Your accursed chains.. They will not bind me forever!""<br/><br/>The words echoed in Xabiz's head, his mind showing him the Future. The gemstone glowed slightly, signifying the truth behind what he sees. The statue's fury directed at a being above him. And, gone from this existence into another. ""The Allfather..."" Xabiz whispered, not knowing who that was, only a name the statue directed his fury at. Xabiz wished to talk to the statue, whatever his name and purpose may be, to learn more about this 'Allfather.'<br/><br/>Xabiz turned and entered the temple afterwards, slightly light headed from the vision he was given. He felt the need for food and then smelled some from further in the temple, following the scent to the dining room. Xabiz fixed himself a plate before noticing that a woman had already begun to eat at the table. ""My apologies. I didn't notice you until now. How are you?"" Xabiz said as he took a seat at the table across from her."

There seemed to be a lot of people going to the dining hall, maybe they could go there and have some dinner. Inno was also kind of wanted to scout the outer part of the area. It seemed that there was a large amount of territory at the bottom of the tree, but how would they get there? Innocentius had a feeling there wasn't an elevator. Hopefully there was some sort of magic teleportation system, because he really didn't feel like having to walk that many stairs. Not now, not ever."

Blaze said in a joyful tone.<br/><br/>He was pretty hungry, but he had another reason he wanted to go to the dining hall. From where he smelled the freshly-cooked food, he also smelled a fragrance. Evangeline's fragrance. He rushed to the dining hall before Inno and found her there. The wolf-guy was also there, eating alone. Blaze approached Evangeline.<br/><br/>""Once again, I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you because of my fight with Conquestus. You may not want to listen to my apology, but I am planning to depart shortly and that's the least I can do...After eating, I am going to leave, so bear my presence for a while longer.""<br/><br/>With these words, Blaze sat a few chairs away from Evangeline and started eating, displaying the formalities, instead of savagely eating, like many might assumed, because of his dragon status."

<br/>Understand I am not a extremely strict GM, these are more like guidelines but also should be enforced as much as possible. You won't be penalized unless you are continuously doing things over a long period time with several warnings, but these are just to help you get a hang of how the RP works, and then you'll be able to tell how lenient it all really is. Main thing, just enjoy yourself. <br/><br/>1. Please try your best to be literate and grammatically correct, but you won’t be penalized for mess ups. We all do it.<br/>2. Obvious rule: No god-modding, or metagaming, etc.<br/>3. There is a minimum of two paragraphs, please be somewhat descriptive and make sure you give enough for others to interact off of.<br/>4. Don’t spend too much time with one person, or alone. This is a group RP for a reason, we don’t want you breaking off in to single one on ones. (It’s fine if it is only two people talking for a while, but make sure to mingle when other people are online.)<br/>5. DO NOT PLAN IN THE OOC meaning do not discuss future interactions or figure out who you will talk to next. One of the challenges about this Rp is that anything can happen and you have no control over it, if someone walks in to your conversation uninvited then so be it.<br/>6. Be honorable, you must prove yourself to become higher ranked, or more powerful. You must go through SIGNIFIGANT events in order to become stronger, not small incidents.<br/>7. When it comes to main plots, please pay close attention to who is building their plot and try not to run over them with your own. There will be only one main plot going at a time, to ensure that all characters are involved. You are free to create small sub plots to the side, or create tension for your own RP, but only ONE main plot at a time.<br/><br/>P.S I am part of this RP also! And I too want to enjoy the twists and surprises in the RP so please do not send me requests of plots you want to do. Simply go for it, but makes sure to read #7 again when it comes to plots.

She collects all vivid thoughts and complex emotions that humans feel and try to translate on their own. She thinks of everything before answering a question and sometimes she is scrambled between multiple conclusions to one's simple comment or question. She usually looks lost, and results to staying quiet as she tried hard not to burst in to saying all her thoughts out loud because they create anxiety for others. To think so 'complex' as her. She sees both sides, and tried to decipher which would be the best road to take, but she makes mistakes as well. She isn't the goddess of perfection.<br/><br/>Background: She's listened to all of these thoughts since was immortal. She could hear thoughts from hundreds of years ago and everyday they fill her head. She gets to listen to people break down complicated theories or amazing Epiphanies each one has while growing up. It's all one amazing cluster of chaotic chemistry between love and hate. She sometimes finds it a curse when she begins to over analyze each person's words, remembering the exact same quotes from the thoughts in her head that its somewhat overwhelming she feels that no one is their self. Only creations of one another. She scared she'll never be thrilled again. <br/><br/>Personality: She keeps a simple personality, keeping most of her thoughts to herself and tries to give the easiest explanation. She doesn't like explaining who she is and what she does because even to her it all sounds like a complicated mess of a life, but she enjoys it. She is somewhat quiet but loves adventure, it is where she smiles most. Even though it is rare for her to be taught something new, she loves learning. <br/><br/>Powers: Telepathy, but she tries hard not to sue it when she is getting to know someone. She doesn't want to be able to read their emotions, or know what they are thinking. But she does use it in some situations when she only wants one person to know what she is thinking or wanting to say. Other powers unknown.<br/><br/>Weapons: N/A </center>"

The longer a fox lives, the more wisdom and power he obtains. Ayako was one such fox, a brilliant student among the wise old kitsune who taught him, and a leader among his peers. Having obtained his sixth tail, Ayako was whisked away to Desnia, where he will continue to walk along the path towards omniscience...<br/><br/>Deity: Deity of compassion.<br/><br/>Hair Color: White<br/>Hair Style: Long, straight, flowing hair, down past his shoulders (different than the pick, but that was the closest I could find).<br/>Eye Color: Bright blue (again, different than pic).<br/>Skin Color: Mildly fair.<br/>Height: 5'10''<br/>Body Build: Lean, but strong<br/>Markings: A crimson circular symbol on his forehead with lines that streak back behind his ears. Each of his six white tails has a crimson tip.<br/><br/>Demi-description: He is a deity of compassion, which is not to be confused with meekness or gullibility. He actively seeks to help others, resolve conflicts, and build friendships, and he has a calm and tranquil voice that is quite good at achieving this end. On principle, he will never deny someone who asks him for help, so long as the request is within his power and is not laced with ill-will or laziness. Likewise, on principle, he will never force his help on someone who outright refuses to accept his aid. With compassion, comes an undying loyalty to his friends and those cruel enough to make an enemy of him will find that this fox has quite a ferocious bite. <br/><br/>Background: Upon acquiring sentience, Ayako was quick to walk down the path of wisdom. Unlike many of his brethren, Ayako actively sought out wise masters to teach him the ways of the universe, and impressed them not just with his talent, but with his humility. He gained a reputation as an altruist, helping man and spirit alike. Some became jealous of his reputation and whereas Ayako acquired power through wisdom, there were those who sought to steal it through force. Ayako found a way to protect himself, though, and performed the unprecedented, absorbing the essence of his Hoshi no Tama, the orb that is the source of a kitsune's power. Upon doing so he acquired his sixth tail and vanished from the world, arriving in Desnia.<br/><br/>Personality: Ayako has a very agreeable personality, and sees the best side of people. He is always eager to share his wisdom and enjoys talking on virtually any subject. He is an inquisitive individual, particularly regarding people's personal beliefs, but he is not judgmental, even when he disagrees with people. He will often brush off personal insults, but will not stand for acts of cruelty or deception. <br/><br/>Powers: Through his acquisition of wisdom, Ayako has obtained an innate understanding of martial arts far beyond the physical capabilities of any mortal. He can alter his appearance and take the form of a massive white fox, though he primarily uses this form to intimidate enemies and avoid bloodshed. Finally, Ayako has mastery over foxfire, a wisp-like flame that can take a cool blue color and form any number of illusions, or a bright orange that can create a flame as hot as any forest fire. <br/><br/>Weapons: Ayako has a katana named Junkojuro that has been blessed by the ancient masters. Those who fall to this blade shall never go to hell so long as there is goodness in their hearts. </center>"

Their power can destroy even the sturdiest fortresses and their flames are rumored to burn anything, even souls. However, contrary to general belief, dragons are extremely wise creatures, with knowledge that goes as far as their ancient existence. Many of them are even capable of using magic.

He has acquired a dragon's strength and knowledge, along with their respect of nature and life. While he knows about the human civilization and their history, his lack of experience with them make him oblivious to simple facts such as food, their way of giving birth and even their behavior patterns. In spite of that, he can quickly adapt to every new thing he experiences through his calm-minded understanding. While having tremendous force, he avoids conflicts, knowing that using his powers rashly can cause destruction to both nature and any other living being. However he is always happy to lend a hand, knowing that sometime he might even need help himself.<br/><br/>Background: His mother dying at birth, a newborn baby was left in the darkest depths of a forest, because his fellow villagers were terrified by his flaming red eyes, labeling it as cursed. Cold, alone and without food or water, the baby started to cry. But, as time passed, the cry changed, turning in a wild roar that echoed through the end of the horizon. The spectacle that followed shocked the villagers. Hundreds of dragons flew above the village, and formed a circle above the location the baby was. As their flight turned into a dance, one dragon descended and, despite its tremendous force, picked the baby gently. Upon their contact, the baby's body received a dragon shaped scar. The dragons returned to their homeland and surrounded the now quiet infant and decided to bring it up as one of their own brethren. They named him Blaze, because of his red eyes and the dragons' own flames that burn through anything. Blaze grew up believing he was born with dragons learning from them speech, writing, cultures and knowledge and slowly acquired their strength, wisdom and even their flames. At some point he also found Paco, with whom he goes everywhere. At some point, his fellow kin sent him on a journey with 3 tasks: Learn about his true origins, awaken his latent powers and kill the Dark Dragon, Urumel. Now, with Paco, he wanders through Desnia to fullfil the tasks given to him and find out more about the world.<br/><br/>Personality: Blaze is usually quite cheerful and somewhat curious, being his first time out of the dragons' homeland. He is quite energetic and he always says what he is thinking, believing that being sincere is the best value anyone can have. Despite his appearance though, he is level headed and rarely displays rashness, patiently thinking of what should be done in any situation. However, he can be sarcastic at times and always looks for a chance to say a good one-liner to lighten the mood. He never displays fear, because he does not think that something can be scarier than a dragon, however he is not unaware of it, trying to help anyone to get rid of their own fears.<br/><br/>Powers: Blaze possesses the strength,speed,endurance and senses of a dragon. His raw power is enough to lift a house with little effort, while he can reach speeds that a normal human's eye is difficult to follow. He is also able to create dragon flames from his hands and use dragonbreath as well. If overcome with emotion, Blaze's dragon abilities give him dragon scales, claws, and fangs and boost his abilities, however, in this form he is uncontrollable and cannot distinguish friend or foe.<br/><br/>Weapons: None. He is a bare hand fighter.<br/><br/>(P.S: He is my first character in RP so if he is overpowered please tell me so I can fix it. Also if there is a problem with having a companion (Paco), I will correct that as well.)"

He looks around 30.<br/>Birthday: 29th december<br/>Origin: Greece<br/>Deity: Strength, Courage and competition<br/><br/>Hair Color: Brown<br/>Hair Style: Short and wild. He also has a trimmed beard.<br/>Eye Color: Brown<br/>Skin Color: Cuacasian. In the middle of pale and tan.<br/>Height: 6 foot 2<br/>Body Build: Muscular<br/>Markings: A few scars here and there.<br/><br/>Demi-description: Lithos is the god of courage and competition. His spirit and legend rides strong within any competition or tournament, be it the olympics or just a casual game of children's football. He is also the god of courage and his tale has inspired many knights of valour and others alike to stand brave in battle or life. He never backs down from any fight and is practically always trying to have fun in any activity, be it war or sport. He is very sure of himself and can be a bit devious at times, thinking of short-term solutions to long term problems quite a lot. He hardly ever worries about anything and has never been caught planning ahead.<br/><br/>Background: Lithos was born a human in Greece. His father was a farmer and his mother was a housewife. His childhood was normal to a point. He usually displayed feats of strength as best as he could to his friends and siblings. This was only increased when the actual gods of Litho's religion revealed themselves to the world. They set challenges for the mortals of Greece to meet and defeat for the prize of becoming a god much alike the gods themselves. Of course, Lithos couldn't resist. It turns out his trait of 'short-term solutions' came in handy during the challenges. One of the challenges was cleaning the stables of immortal cattle. Lithos done this by diverting a river towards the barn and washing it out that way. The other challenges were met with brute force as expected and soon enough, Lithos had been made an honourary god at last. Well, a small one anyway. The other gods were a lot more powerful than him, but they did grant him the power of strength which was practically enough for him anyway.<br/><br/>Personality: Lithos is fun loving and reckless. There is nothing he'd rather do than drink and fight. He'd fight practically anything with or without a pulse although he does prefer when his enemy fights back. He likes to partner up with friends to go adventuring and dislikes being alone for too long. He is irrational at times, but can be serious when the time calls for it. He dislikes most academic activities and isn't the best at maths.<br/><br/>Powers: Strength enough to hold the universe up for more than a few minutes. He is more resiliant to damage than most but not by far.<br/><br/>Weapons: None<br/><br/>Will finish later"

Many dedicated their lives, and sometimes sacrificed them, in this pursuit, though humanity found little success in their quest to grasp at the skies until October 15th, 1783, when the two French Montgolfier brothers managed to make physics teacher fly in a tethered hot-air balloon, and even before that, humans had managed to fly for at least a few yards using primitive gliders.<br/>Throughout the next few centuries, humankind quickly began to master the skies; going from small balloons to fearsome metal beasts in nary three centuries. It was no coincidence that a girl was born twenty years ago, on the day that decades ago, man first took to the sky, a girl who belonged to no parents but had a name that evoked the sky itself; 'Endless', though she prefers to call herself Alicia, as Endless isn't a very pretty sounding name.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Deity</span>: Deity of Flight<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Hair Color</span>: Black<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Hair Style</span>: Shoulder length.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Eye Color</span>: Blue<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Skin Color</span>: Palish white<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Height</span>: 1m63<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Body Build</span>: Slim, rather lacking in womanly features (though definitely not of boyish figure), not very muscular but not at all fat.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Markings</span>: Bizarre, straight scars between her shoulder blades, almost parallel to one another.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Demi-description</span>: Alicia is a deity of flight, both of birds and other animals and of humankind. While physically not particularly special, she has no fear of heights, drops and a fall from a high altitude has little to no effect on her. However, she lacks the ability to fly herself, for some bizarre, ironic reason. She can run very fast, however, causing her to remark that perhaps it's a power that originally evoked how a plane takes off, by going from a standstill and picking up swift speed.<br/>Alicia is also very agile, in the air and on the ground, with the human art of parkour an easy feat for her.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Background</span>: Endless spent most of her childhood in a foster family's care, having been born to parents who could never be found through biological tracing. From an extremely early age, she took an almost instinctive interest in flight and after long periods of begging, her eventual adoptive father signed her up for her first flight lessons. By the end of the first lesson, it was clear she was a natural and it was barely a month later that she was doing her first flight. Naturally, after finishing school, she signed up for her country's air force, where her skills were once again evident. All was smooth sailing until her first combat deployment when a faulty engine sent her plane stalling and plummeting to the ground, almost just above the airfield where she took off. To all observers, it seemed definite from the angle of the plane when she crashed that her life was lost.<br/><br/>Amazingly to the contrary, she survived with barely a scratch on her body. Her comrades suggested she go on medical leave, but at her own insistence she was back in the air in a few weeks. After this event, she remained cheerful and she continued flying for a good year until her plane was forced to shake hands with a surface-to-air missile. When she crashed, her body was found to be fine, but she didn't wake up this time.<br/><br/>Or did she?<br/><br/>When she awoke from a deep slumber, Alicia found herself in a new, fantasy-esque land and with no explanation to prove what this place really was, she was left only to wander...<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Personality</span>: Alicia is very pensive, but at the same time quite talkative and in general is very optimistic and cheerful. However, she is somewhat guarded with new people, due to her relatively rough childhood. Along with this general friction towards strangers, she can be slightly hesitant and a bit clumsy at times. She has a strong animus to succeed in most situations and is very determined when it comes to reaching what is most important to her; the brilliant azure skies. <br/>Occasionally, she attempts to use complicate expressions and complex expressions in order to make herself look somewhat smarter, but this usually backfires on her.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Powers</span>:<br/>-High agility, both in the air and on the ground.<br/>-Fearlessness of heights, drops and falls.<br/>-Invulnerability to falling, even from extremely high altitudes and at high speeds.<br/>-Very, very fast runner (move over Usain Bolt!)<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Weapons</span>: None, at the moment, she relies on her powerful kicks and punches...<br/>

Although it is enjoyable to witness the same hilarities twice, to see everyone around him die in multiple ways every day of his life has been a nightmare.<br/><br/>Personality: He tries to keep calm and collected around most people, not letting them know what he fears. It's a constant battle of emotion and most days, he struggles to show the world a happy face. He hasn't let that many people get close to him, it doesn't hurt that much if he doesn't know them well.<br/><br/>Powers: He can see the future. This ability isn't perfect and more often than not, isn't the actual future that happens. Instead, he sees something that could have been and a few things that happened changed it.<br/><br/>Weapons: This has always been a debate. An argument within the background of his head. Most days, he doesn't have a weapon. On a few, he carries a dagger at his side, hand hovering over it, ready to strike at the futures which he has seen as a threat to him.

It’s Lethia’s job to find that perfect median, to make sure that there’s neither too much, nor too little of each. If there are too many deaths, then people will be graced with a child. If a country is too prosperous, then Lethia will arrive with a drought. <br/><br/>Lethia is at times mistaken for a Deity of Revenge. This however, isn’t true. This misconception is born from the fact that Lethia is known for causing misfortune for the fortunate. Lethia isn’t doing this for revenge, she’s doing this to make sure that they don’t have too many good things happening to them.<br/><br/>However, balance is subjective. And the interpretation of such a complex word is up to Lethia, the Deity of Balance. She has been known to favor misfortune, unfairness, especially for personal reasons. However, there’s a balance in this as well. She still has to balance fairness and unfairness. That’s why she can get away with this.<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Background</span></b><br/><br/>Lethia grew up with a lack of balance.<br/><br/>She never experienced the love of a mother, the comforts of a home. As an orphan, she grew up with misfortune, sorrow, and loss. Ostracized by her peers, never having a home, Lethia had no one to depend on, no one to protect her.<br/><br/>Eventually, she moved away from the city to live by herself in the woods. It was the best decision she ever made. Until she received her new position of power that is. As a goddess, she would be able to right the wrongs, to make sure that people wouldn’t suffer from pure misfortune as she did.<br/><br/>Now that she thinks about it though, if her destiny was to become a deity of balance, then technically her situation would be balanced right now. All of her misfortune could be explained if it all led to her having her eventual deity status.<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Personality</span></b><br/>There is an aura of perpetual darkness around Lethia. <br/><br/>Rather than be the center of attention, Lethia prefers to be an observer, mysterious and aloof. Not much is known about Lethia, as she doesn’t open up to anyone. She seldom smiles, but she doesn’t radiate hostility. She simply isn’t a social person, finding solace in being alone. Lethia isn’t absent from interaction though, she’s always there, observing and analyzing.<br/><br/>She’s not unkind by any means, however. She can be compassionate, charming, and kind, she just doesn’t allow herself to have the chance to show the warmer sides of herself. She feels emotions, but she hardly ever portrays them, remaining seemingly cold, or frigid. Stated kindly, she’s neutral and unaffected.<br/><br/>There’s a slightly sadistic side to her personality, which causes her to favor misfortune, chaos, and suffering in her godly duties. <br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Powers</span></b><br/><br/><i>Judgement</i><br/><br/>Lethia can see the balance within anything. This is largely subjective and unexplainable, but an example would be that she can sense the amount of various emotions within a person. She can observe the balance between day and night, she knows the amount of fortune and misfortune someone has encountered.<br/><br/><i>Psychokinesis</i><br/><br/>Lethia has the ability to manipulate her surroundings. She can move things around with her mind.<br/><br/><i>Enforcing Balance</i><br/><br/>If something is off balance, Lethia has the ability to fix it. If someone is feeling too much sorrow, Lethia can provide joy. If there are too many storms, she can clear the skies.

Conflict exists on many different scales that we're not aware of, there is galactic conflict, gravity fighting light, meteors fighting planets, no matter what the chaos of conflict and the chaos of everyday lift is ultimately a piece in the puzzle which is conflict, Conquestus is the offspring of two clashing ideals, which were the first thing to happen in this universe, when something want's something else and they confront something that want's what they want there will be conflict, be it of intelligence or of lifelessness.<br/><br/>Deity:<br/>Deity of Conflict.<hr/>Hair Color:<br/>Described as a figure of 'blazing' hair colors, signifying the firey reality of conflict.<br/><br/>Hair Style:<br/>Once again, it is described as a chaotic hair style, yet it holds order, it is not put in any type of style yet it recembles order, just like the nature of conflict, you can find order in conflict, even if conflict is, originally, a creator of chaos.<br/><br/>Eye Color:<br/>In ancient runes his eyes are described as piercing flame, rising to the sun, to the possible future, yet it originates from the bottom, from the deepest caverns of his eyes. It is described to be a pair of eyes who shine as bright as a star, pierce like a bullet yet it's dark as the shadow of night.<br/><br/>Skin Color:<br/>His remaining skin appears like fire burnt flesh, however most parts of his organic body has been reinforced or replaced by 'unholy, yet divine metals.' This was described in ''The Dying Angel'' a biblical adaptation to a long lost story of ''Conquestus and his unending Crusade.'' The original story was the last story which resided in the ''Heavenly Pillar'' biblical book which had been archeologically found in the very modern day, a famous writer had readaptated the story into ''The Dying Angel'' book which was an incredible hit.<br/><br/>Height:<br/>Yet again, as described from ''The Dying Angel'' Conquests is a Titan amongst men and demi-gods alike, his height was never really described in meters nor<br/>feet, however the universal language can be understood. ''As the figure crosses the horizon and splits it in two, charging at him was a human, unlike any other man, the figure covered in the suns blinding blaze was twice that of the man who charged at him, the man who was once known as the<i>Behemoth of Ghalíí</i>, with a single swing of his mighty sword the behemoth flew, as if he would bare wings, into the sky.''<br/><br/>If I break immersion I'd say that the Behemoth of Ghalíí was 230cm.<br/>Conquestus, the Dying Angel in this case is nearly twice his size, 390cm.<br/><br/>Body Build:<br/>I really like quoting this made up universe I'm thinking of as I go.<br/>As written in the original story, Conquestus is a war built figure, taller and stronger then any other deity who would cross his path, whilst maybe not the most agile or caring he would face the problem head on, with his brute force and surprising cunning and knowledge and prevail, because what in the end kills him, as written in the book, is himself and his very existance, he is a plague, and therefor he is haunted by every death in every universe, multiverse or alternate reality.<br/><br/>As written in ''The Dying Angel'' here is a description. ''As he stood still, in the very epicenter of attention he allowed us to gaze at his wartorn figure, whilst covered in armor of unknown origin the very body of which he originated was unlike any other warrior, scarred beyond recognition, yet it was recognizable as a man, he appeared plagued, troubled, he stated no word, simply allowed us to gaze upon him, and the pseudo-biblical oaths hanging off his body, written on these burnt papers who hold their anchor in the skin of this mighty figure, written on these were the explenations of conflict, one would not suspect what to be written on these long and ancient papers to be connected with conflict.<br/><br/>Markings:<br/>As stated from ''The Dying Angel''<br/>''By giving up his body upon death, he was the very first victim of conflict, loosing his life he became a deity of what took his life, His body were to be cleansed, washed and perfectionised, because the moment he would leave the house of godhood and into the purpose of his life he'd lose every aspect of reason, he'd find no need in self hygine, none in cleansing, neither anything in compasion, because he would, with time, lose his skin to the ''unholy, yet divine'' metals of which were, in the begining his armor.'' His skin is a testament to the nature of conflict, tortured, burned beyond recognition and removed, replaced with this metal. Carved and hooked into his skin is a 1000 page long explenation of conflict made and written by the god of all, it is placed on one, long piece of indestructible cloth like writing material. It is hooked in repeated sense, going over and above previous pages so that certain things could not be read, the final product is a cross like shape on the back Conquestus wrapping around his torso also.<hr/>Demi-description:<br/>Conquestus is a deity of conflict, fathered by the god of all because he deemed conflict a burden in need of baring. As a litteral Titan Conquestus is no stranger to physically demanding actions nor combat, He is a veteran of many wars of many purposes and of many origins, on many different planes of existance, because he is the ultimatum, he is the ultimate barer of the burden which will, ultimately end all when he cannot bare it any longer. Being created by the first at of conflict in mortal kinds and ressurected as a deity of what killed him by the father of all he is now forced to bare what he hates beyond all, however his existance revolves around it, therefor his life is now a mist of memories blurred together to create a blurry vision of a background, whatever's been written in books is what he goes off by, because he's killed too many, seen to many faces, seen too many sufferers to be able to remember anything but the screams of voices as they face the ultimatum, the blade of the executioner. The self hating part of Conquestus existance is a subject to the fact that most people of conflict dislike using violence, however are forced to by others.<br/><br/>Background:<br/>In the begining of Conquestus life he was a mortal of the first ever existance in the first ever plane of existance, he was slayed by the first ever use of violence and conflict and in that term was brought into the afterlife, The allfather, a nameless God of everything and everyone sought out the fact that conflict was a nature which he did not wish to experience, yet it had sneaked it's way into his existance, he chose Conquestus, or whatever name he bore before then as an Angel of Conflict, a Dying Angel who would slay only to take pieces out of his very soul. Even though the future which the Allfather was obviously aware of was daunting and of incredible dislike of him he blessed Conquestus with the greatest of weapons and armor and cleansed his spirit and soul before sending him into the warfield which would span the begining of his endless crusade. As long as there's war, there will be sacrifices and deaths, which can lead to complete destruction. At the hand of Conquestus millions of men, women and children have fallen, billions, infact, actuall, trillions, UNCOUNTABLE numbers which haunt his every moment. Civilizations have fallen, stars imploded and planets ripped themselves open. His arrival in any realm is oftenly explained like this. ''The skies itself rippen open to lead the way onto us a man of black metals and a sword longer then myself, carried by continentally large wings he plummeted into the ground and ripped it open, leaving much to evaporate or discintergrate beneath his feet. The scar in the sky heals and the wings fade into oblivion, however his will of fire engulfes him in the purifying and hateful flames of conflict itself, he swings his weapon upon soldier after soldier, carving a path through the unending field of men, all whilst slowly walking forwards, the black cloak carried by the wind on his back. Using blood as the fate of the ultimate crime of warfare.''<br/><br/>Personality:<br/>A non-discriminating personality of divinity, he is not a great speaker however when he voices his wills he speaks quick and true, using the perspective of a warrior to great lenghts he makes it obvious that he has been through much and experienced more. His age is beyond many realms and at times the truth of his beliefs can be voiced in his rather cold, chilly, grim and experienced voice, the voice of a man who has slain child after child, as if it was part of some mechanical construction. His body, however does not speak for the same, mostly covered in the heavily reinforced, cleansed, blessed and purified 'demonic-angelic armour.' However the occational arm skin reveals burnt skin that does not seem to rot and dead skin which does not reak of corpse.<br/><br/>Powers:<br/>The powers of Conquestus are directed towards conflict, therefor he has a cunning intellect and strong strategical and tactical capabilities, however they're limited to the aspect of warfare and conflict, from the weakest of conflicts to the strongest. He is also able to teleport himself to his fortress cathedral, a pocket dimension of a small religious town built around a massive cathedral made for both the act of praying and the hard acts of warfare, Conquestus is the owner of the Cathedral fortress however hundreds if not thousands attend it every day and work their jobs, he often goes here for brief times, his normal routine is that he appears in the main chamber, prays to the allfather, get's himself cleansed, repeaired and re-armored and return into combat again, it happens at a reduced time in the physical world, one day in the pocket dimension is generally a minute in any other plane of existance. Conquestus is a divine forger, capable of making neigh anything if given the tools.<br/><br/>Weapons:<br/>- Vanquisher of Conflict: The 250cm long runic greatsword is the legendary weapon most oftenly connected with Conquestus, the Vanquisher of Conflict is a legendary weapon forged by the allfather in the begining days for the pre-destined champion of his will, however it would instead be used to challenge conflict. It's blade is sharper then any other and can cleave through the thickest of armors, however it's scale makes it slow and hard to carry around, therefor it sits on a holster on the very back of Conquestus. The sword itself carries such power that without even using any of it's divine capabilities a single swing damages the enemy before it actually makes contact, the pure force makes the wind flee and hit the enemy before the weapon itself is supposed to, as described by Tribal members of a, yet to be truly developed, world.<br/><br/>- Protector against Unjustice: The self forged, unbreakable legendary shield of which Conquestus bears in one hand, whilst somehow managing to battle with the Vanquisher of Conflict in the other, a great display of godlike strenght, because the Protector against Unjustice weights almost seventy tons and the sword cannot be measured by normal scales since it was made by the Allfather. If he were to simply drop it on the ground it would most likely fall through a good 10 meters of earth and crack through stone, aswell."

She wept, not for what she had lost, but for what her sheep had lost, and for what the wolves had taken from them. Hearing her most sincere cries of sorrow, a passing wind came forth to comfort her, but she would not hear its words, and so the wind went on to blow through the forest, speaking in its ancient tongue to all the trees and animals it met along the way. When at last the Shepherdess let go of her sorrow and left that lonesome hill, she found herself surrounded by comfort and warmth, for all those in the forest welcomed her as theirs and showed her the way into its depths. There, she found a secret glade never once tread by man, and when she sat there, she could hear the voices of all the forest, comforting her. Finally, she could hear the voice of the wind, and the wind could tell her what it had wanted to say all this time. On that day, the Golden-Haired Shepherdess filled her mortal soul with all things wonderful, and carrying with her the comfort of that lovely, hidden glade, she went off to bring that happiness to others...<br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Deity:</span></b>Deity of Adventure & Companionship<div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><span class=""bb-u""><i>Demi-description:</i></span>She is the Goddess of Companionship, but she is also the Goddess of Ordeal and Adventure, and while she may bring beautiful friendship or love, she also brings challenges that test the strength of those bonds. Wherever somebody enters union with another individual, Uixandria is there to make sure their love does not die, and wherever great ordeals come between somebody and those they love, she works hard to make sure their efforts aren't in vain. Beyond everything else she loves adventure and joyful times, so many might say that she isn't all that serious, but she always gives things her all in her own way.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><i>Personality:</i></span>Uixandria is a cheery, compassionate girl so full of youth and energy that one could easily mistake her for a child, despite her age. She believes very strongly in the strength of positive emotions, particularly love, and when great challenges come forth, she will often turn to those feelings to bring her through. She likes to go on her own way, but also seeks the company of others to follow her on that way. Her taste for adventure is unquenchable, so many find it difficult to anchor her to any specific place...<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Powers:</span></b>Uixandria's power allows her to communicate with and befriend anything if given time, she is able to bridge any boundary to make her dreams come true and overcome all ordeals in the path of her love. She possesses an immense pool of talents and skills that aid in adventuring, but as far as otherworldly powers go, she is able to mostly affect people's emotions in a positive manner and grant the strength to overcome ideals through love and companionship."

Raised to take over his father's place, he found that he was a natural at making magnificent works at the forge, so much so that his work attracted the eyes of the local Bey, whom took him from his father's forge and placed him in his own palace forge. Harreydin cried at having been taken so forcibly from his father, but learned quickly that there wasn't much he could do about it without risk of being lashed. So, he buried himself in his work, crafting blades, armour, and fine jewellery for the wonder of the Bey and his dignitaries at court. His skill impressed more than them though, for the Forge Lord had cast his gaze upon the young man, watching intently as he grew older and even better at his crafts. For the Forge Lord had need of an apprentice to take under his tutelage for the day when his time crafting the foundations of worlds and great works for the divine was done. Thus, on the day his greatest craft yet had been completed, a Scimitar of as yet unmatched skill in his mortal world, the Forge Lord came down and whisked Harreydin away in a cloud of smoke and fire, cracking the foundations of the Bey's court beneath his might. Harreydin then awoke in Desnia, clad in tools his did not recognize, and no idea how he ended up there.<br/>Deity: Deity of Metallurgy and Earthen Crafts<br/><br/>Hair Color: Pale Red<br/>Hair Style: Long braided beard and mustache, as well as tied back in a series of knots behind his head<br/>Eye Color: Orange, like autumn leaves<br/>Skin Color: Heavily Tanned<br/>Height: 5''7.<br/>Body Build: Heavily defined muscles, though not bulky.<br/>Markings: Fresco Tattoos depicting various stages of metallurgy and crafting all across his torso, shoulders, and back.<br/><br/>Demi-description: As the deity of Metallurgy, Harreydin lives to build things out of the earth's fruits. Everything from the smallest ring to an entire palace, no task is too great or too small for his skills. He builds projects for himself, and anyone who makes a reasonable offer.<br/><br/>Background:(//I may have covered this in my Origins, I'll let you decide if I need more)<br/><br/>Personality: Somewhat of a loner, Harreydin doesn't require the company of others to entertain himself, though when he is around others he is generally a calm, level-headed person who treats all people reasonably, so long as they give him respect in turn. He is slow to anger, and is more often than not a stoic in most situations, though he hates it when people break, vandalize, or in some way disrespect his work.<br/><br/>Powers: Master craftsman, Harreydin's skill lies in the crafting items, tools, and structures the likes of which are unparalleled out of metal, stones, or gems. He also possesses extreme resilience to heat from the hot fires of his forge, as well as great strength.<br/><br/>Weapons: His crafting hammer and tongs, as well as first great blade, a scimitar he named Drakan."

He cannot choose a deity’s reincarnation, which is decided by both the Goddess and her people.<br/><i>Heal</i><br/>Ryko can heal both others and himself. However, healing himself using a bit of his lifespan. When and if he dies, he will go through another rebirth. He cannot bring back the dead, but can only send them to a new reincarnation. <br/><br/><b>Weapons</b><br/>He has a blessed long bow. He uses the power of light found within himself as the bows.

""What's your name?"" He asked. Then, ""Do you speak Russian? Chinese? English? Perhaps English, yes?"" Ryko blinked looking at him. One of his powers allowed him to understand any language. It would be bad if he remembered a person's memory but didn't understand it. He grinned at the man.<b> ""Any language will work for me.

</blockquote><br/><br/>Take from someone who does Latin and Roman history, it's called an atrium.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">
<small><b>Wikipedia</b> said</small>
<br/>In architecture, an atrium (plural: atria or atriums) is a large open space located within a building. Atria were a common feature in Ancient Roman dwellings, providing light and ventilation to the interior. Modern atria, as developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries, are often several stories high and having a glazed roof and/or large windows, and often located immediately beyond the main entrance doors (in the lobby).<br/>

I mean in terms of historical accuracy.<br/><br/>Temples in ancient Greece (and the Roman Empire to a slightly lesser extent) usually tended not to have areas of residence or related rooms within, being strictly made for worship. As I have seen up to this point this ""temple"" seems to have an atrium with a fountain, a rather large inaccuracy if this part is indeed part of the temple, as atriums in Greece and Rome were usually only in residential houses.<br/><br/>Thus, when I write, I shall think of this ""temple"" as containing multiple wings or buildings; residential and a more traditional temple part. Of course, I doubt that soon to be gods would be worshiping other gods and perhaps that the name of 'temple' is simply a misnomer based off of tradition and setting, but I still feel somewhat bothered by it, having done Latin and Roman history classes for three years now.<br/><br/>Though, to be honest, I doubt any of this miscellaneous information will get in the way of my ability to happily roleplay in this setting, considering my enthusiasm, but I think it may help to put it out there. In short, this is just my two cents."

I'm the same way with video games. If I lost any amount of game data on any of my games, it would be a long time before I'd go touch them again. Mostly so I could forget where I was and that I'd lost the data in the first place.)<br/><br/>Now, to read the posts.

Over that time, he had manipulated the various demons of Hell against each other, provided a place for dead mortals to be tormented, and led the war against Heaven.However, at some point during his rule, he had become bored with his existence. He purchased and traded for souls and he forced mortals to commit evil acts.<br/><br/>Background: Lucifer was the deity of angels but his brother Gabriel wanted to take his place as the right hand of God. When Lucifer understood that he wanted more power. And the only power he could manifest his own powers and reach those of Gods was the power of the mortals. So he thought he could make deals with the human and take their souls in return in order he would be the strongest. doing that at some point Gabriel saw what his brother is doing and reported that on God. the rest is known...<br/><br/>Personality:Very calm , an intellectual beast and a great tactisian.<br/><br/>Powers: He can obviously fly at will on hie black wings that look like those of a crow. He can manipulate fire at will (hellfire) . He cannot use his powers thought, only when a ""Deal"" is made. Deals are the only way for Lucifer to interract with th people and use his powers. He ask for a persons Soul(to power him up) and in exchange he does the thing the person asks. Even thought he can practically do anything he does not. He does anything ""human"" possible for it to happen (like killing some people in order another gain power, like manipulating soeones thoughts to give another money etc. Lastly he can become invisible at wil so he can use the outmost of his abilities.<br/>.<br/>Weapons: Sword of Souls. A legendary weapon given by God himself that can absord the life of anything that cuts, after the betrayal on God thought ,god cursed it and its time Lucifer uses it loses himself a part of his own soul (he never have used it) and on his 7th strike he will die and return to God."

Where the process of death is greatest, she is tall and prominent, but when life has begun anew and things <br/>enjoy their humble beginnings, she is shorter and less pronounced.<br/><br/>Body Build: <br/>Nephlygal has a slender form, yet it also changes with the ebb and flow of death. To those that fear her, she is said to appear unhealthy, emaciated and skeletal. However, when she comes to those who have long sought release and to hold those at the end of their lives into her embrace, she reveals a more wholesome form that can be regarded as attractive - a subtly beautiful figure with an inviting bosom. In this way, she reminds the world that the cycle of life is wholly natural and the ending is just as sweet as the beginning. <br/><br/>Markings: <br/> <br/>Demi-description: <br/>All things are born or created new, and eventually will grow old before they lose their vigour and cease to be. Nephlygal is the usher of death and decay; the personification of atrophy and the decline of life. This process, one must remember, is wholly natural, and in this way Nephlygal is a neutral goddess. Death will come to all without judgement; but finds some sooner than others. Due to human nature and the will to live, she is scorned and feared by many. For this reason, she leads a mostly solitary existence among her peers, although her presence can be felt anywhere, as mortal creatures are always in need of the release of life, and the things they leave behind are likewise destined to return to the earth. Indeed, these can be as mundane as a tool rusting in the rain, or as prominent as a civilization falling into ruin. Nephlygal is everywhere, and her embrace is inescapable. <br/><br/>Background:<br/>At the beginning of time, Nephlygal slumbered, awaiting her own hour of birth. When the first living things crawled upon the world, she opened her eyes, ever-vigilant to watch over their health and well being. As time passed, it was clear that the earth could sustain only so many of them, and it was decided that all things would manifest into being, but also wither and disappear to make room for others. When the time was thought to be right, Nephlygal emerged from her resting place. The oldest among the creatures lost the strength of youth. Its body started to slow and shut down in a gradual decline before ceasing to function altogether. Its remains were broken by other organisms and returned to the earth, from whence it came. Nephlygal was charged with maintaining this portion of balance, and ever since she has brought the sick to the end of their torment, and the old to their final bedrest. She has a kinship not only with the deity of life, but that of war, for war is the greatest source of death next to disease. At the same time, she is wary of war, because it arguably brings lives to her care that have not finished their natural cycles. The only time she has seen fit to intervene with such a case was Indra's campaign of murder that cost the universe untold lives and civilizations. Indra was only saved from Nephlygal's fate when it was agreed the goddess of the elements would restrain her powers to a tiny percentage of what they were.<br/><br/>Personality:<br/>Nephlygal maintains a relatively even temperament, as she is charged with a natural process of the life cycle. She carries her task with a neutral state of mind, knowing that everything will feel her influence at some point. She is thought to have a nihilistic ideology due to all things eventually ending, although she is just as capable of feeling emotion as anyone. In fact, she is more often than not ambivalent, content to fulfil her duty and contribute to the ever-constant cycle of life and rebirth. After all, the transition from nothing to life, and life to death is the most profound process of all. <br/><br/>Powers:<br/>Nephlygal knows when all living things are destined to die, although this foresight applies only to sickness and age. She cannot know who will survive a battle, or escape a natural disaster. <br/><br/>She has it in her power to control the flow of decline, to cause material to deteriorate, or organs to fail. When a town falls sick, it falls into her care to whisk those away who cannot bear their afflictions. When the old overstay their time on the earth, she causes their bodies to wither and pave the way for new generations. <br/><br/>Often, Nephlygal's power over life and material being are called upon by other gods. Then, death may become a punishment to the depraved, or a merciful end to suffering. <br/><br/>Weapons:<br/>Nephlygal doesn't need any weapon or implement to carry out her charge, although may be depicted among some peoples with a net, shepherd's crook, scythe or whip. With these, it is said she catches, herds, drives or reaps mortals as their lives end.</center>"

</div><br/><br/>Tony Stark was rich. Wildly so. And he had a taste for the finer things in life. So maybe, just maybe, this would be better than her previous studio apartment. She might actually have a full kitchen to work with and a bedroom that didn't have a full view of the bathroom. The young woman had to admit that as scary as it all was, it was also completely exciting. She had no idea who her other new team mates would be but – She suddenly felt very self-conscious. What if they were better than her? For all she knew, they were all trained fighters and hackers and whatnot. In the words of Director Fury himself: “She's just a waitress.” The Council, whoever they were, along with some of the Director's advisers didn't seem very hopeful for her after finding her YouTube channel. She was whimsical – It wasn't a crime! But was she fit to train with Captain America? Seriously; one minute, she's serving him pie and milk only to turn around a second later and be his apprentice. She used to box... But that was ages ago. She hadn't fought in, what – Six years? But the Captain had asked her and she didn't want to disappoint him.<br/><br/>It was all pretty intimidating as she waited for the ding of the elevator. She had been directed to the 93rd floor by a rather out of shape man that insisted that he be called “Happy”. It was a peculiar nickname for a man that didn't look particularly joyous, but perhaps it was on of those ironic nicknames. Like a large man called “Tiny” or a skinny guy called “Fat Joe”. Nonetheless, she thanked him promptly and had made her way to the elevator with her things and her dog. She had a lot of different ideas of what her new home would look like, but she still found her breath stolen when the elevator doors opened to reveal the most elegant room that she had ever seen. The view of the city was gorgeous – But how could it not be when “Avengers Tower” was the tallest building in New York City? [Besides the Empire State Building, of course] She walked out of the elevator before the doors could close, struck into silence by the sheer amount of space from the open floor plan.<br/><br/>She didn't have to ask where anything was besides the rooms and bathrooms – There was a bar and kitchen to her right, a sort of “common area” right in front of her, and every other part of the open space seemed to be work space. There were six sets of stairs that lead up to six doors in a circle like the large room was and she was able to get a good look at them, noticing that they were numbered one through six with various symbols on them – Cap's shield, Thor's hammer, a black widow, Iron Man's arc reactor, a target, and a green “H”. There was an extra door though it bore no symbol; it simply held nameplates like one might find on a teacher's door. She made her way up the stairs that lead to Captain America's room [or so she was assuming], though she turned right where the extra door was between his and Thor's room.<i>Apollo</i>. The code name that S.H.I.E.L.D. had allowed her to take was on one of the nameplates. Smiling, she ran her fingers over it before looking for a handle. None of the doors had handles. Curious, she pressed her hand against the door and jumped back, startled when a small blue pad extended from the door. She looked around, unsure of what to do about it.<br/><br/>She finally came to the conclusion that it was a biometric scanner and placed her hand against it, praying that she didn't set off some alarm. There was a thin blue light that scanned her hand. “Agent Apollo. Avenger Apprentice. Identification verified. Welcome to Avengers Tower Miss Torres..” J.A.R.V.I.S. seemed to have been “woken” when she checked herself in, the door sliding to the left smoothly. The room was...Okay, it was just a short corridor with six doors, three on either side. She moved down the hall until she came to the door with her name on it, grinning at the colorful decorations on it. It slid open without prompting, only furthering her state of awe as it revealed a small room that fit a queen sized bed, a vanity, two doors [one she assumed lead to a bathroom and the other to a closet], and a desk. It was large enough to have her few cherished items – that she wasn't carrying with her – scattered and placed neatly on shelves.<br/><br/>She removed the leash from her pup's [and the term is used lightly because the dog came up to her knees] and smiled as she immediately pounced onto the bed and made herself comfortable. “Happy here, Yum?” Astrid's voice was melodious as she pat the dog's head and glanced over to see her sugar glider's cage sitting on a shelf, the small creature within resting happily. Satisfied, she set her bags down and headed back out, scratching at her arms a bit. “Anybody home? Besides the invisible robut man?”, she called out as she exited her room and stood in the corridor of mostly closed doors.<br/><br/>“The others will be here shortly.” Tony flashed a charismatic smile as he exited the elevator and glanced up to see Astrid at the top of the stairs. “Tony Stark, nice to see you again.” As she walked down the stairs to meet him Tony made his way to the bar to grab a glass of whiskey. The younger woman took a seat at the bar and returned the smile. She wasn't exactly a friend of Tony's, but he had come in a few times with Steve to the diner and she had performed at one of his parties the previous year. “I did some more research on you. And you are a<i>very</i>interesting lady. Boxing and MMA champ with no losses on your record? I heard you punched a car and sent it flying.” He gave a wicked grin, intrigue in his eyes as her cheeks turned bright red. “I... Well, yeah.” It wasn't something that she talked about a lot and he seemed as though he were about to ask her how - A subject she didn't feel comfortable discussing with a<i>human</i>. And him of all people. He wasn't exactly famous for being sensitive. It wasn't that she didn't trust him. She just... Well, she didn't trust him. She was saved by the ding of the elevator, the tattooed female turning to see who stepped forth,her tongue fiddling with the piercing in her lip."

Captain Steve Rogers said with his arms out, then immediately going in to a defensive stance. Captain America and Hawkeye were in the training room. A room with steel walls, the floor made out of a soft foam, around was training equipment, weights, punching bags, and other various equipment. Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, wore a sleeveless S.H.I.E.L.D. workout shirt, cargo pants and boots. He was sweating and breathing heavily as he stood up. Steve Rogers stood in a classic military standard outfit. A tucked in t-shirt, black cargo pants, and boots of his own. His blonde hair a little messed up, but other than that, he wore a small grin. ""I don't want to ruin your reputation..."" Rogers said. He has been in this new era for a little while now, and after all he and the rest of the Avengers have been through together, he has finally connected with them and trusted them as friends.<br/><br/>He laughed and went at Rogers again. Rogers pushed one punch away, bending his other arm to block another blow. He walked backwards as Clint hit punch after punch. Clint kicked, Steve grabbed his foot and flipped him. Clint did a backflip, landing, then sweeping his leg again. Rogers jumped over it and sent a blow to Clint's abs. He backed up, but returned with a counter to Roger's other hit. The blow would have made a normal man double over, the Rogers barely felt anything. Barton swung again, but all his attacks were pushed aside. Rogers elbowed Barton, twirling behind him, and wrapped his massive forearm around his neck. Barton struggled for a few seconds until he tapped Steve's arm twice.<br/><br/>Rogers let go, Barton gasping. ""Damnit Steve..."" He said after regaining his breath. ""Ever thought of joining the UFC if this whole Superhero thing doesn't work out?""<br/><br/>""The what?""<br/><br/>""Never mind..."" Barton said with a laugh, grabbing his bow and quiver from a table. Rogers followed his lead, grabbing his iconic vibranium-steel alloy shield. ""You think there'll be more stuff in Stark's fridge than veggie protein shakes and whiskey?"" Hawkeye asked. Rogers shrugged. ""If i learned anything from the army, its that you can't be a picky eater..."" Both men walked in to an elevator, and Rogers pressed the button. Both Hawkeye and Cap looked to their right to see a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent staring in awe. Even today Rogers was a living legend, a man out of time, someone everyone seemed to respect no matter who they were. Rogers gave him a small smile and nod, and agent eagerly returned it. ""I am a huge fan, Captain Rogers... Its such an honor... I'm just a tech guy, don't get to see much inside my office..."" he said nervously. ""Well its a miracle on what you do... All this stuff still seems like magic to me."" Rogers said, referencing the advanced technology Stark has put in to this place. The elevator stopped on a mid floor, and the agent said his goodbyes.<br/><br/>The elevator started once again, and Rogers mind drifted. Today was the day that Natashia and him got their new Apprentice. Someone clearly incredibly strong, and fit to be a part of their group, even if Director Fury and his friends didn't think so... Looks could be deceiving though. Steve knew that personally. Astrid had a gift. and she could use that for good, and hopefully he and Natashia can train her to use it.<br/><br/>The elevator doors finally opened to their floor with a ding, Rogers and Barton both stepped out. Barton went straight to his room, while Rogers went in to the kitchen to see Stark and the waitress he knew for quite some time, although he can't really see her as a waitress anymore. ""He's a little upset that training didn't go his way..."" Rogers explained to both. He gave a nod to Tony, and went over to give Astrid a handshake. ""Miss Torres. I see you already met the.. what was it, 'genius billionaire playboy philanthropist'?"" Rogers asked with somewhat of humor."

If this superhero gig doesn't work out for her, I'm definitely hiring her to cook around here.” He gave a light chuckle and sipped at his whiskey while Clint gave his own half smirk and went for a water from the nearby fridge. “I was just telling Cap that he should join the UFC. But Tasha said she's seen the girl fight before. I trust her judgment on that. And Cap's seen her strength. Can't argue there.” Astrid gave a nervous nod, secretly a little star struck.<br/><br/>She wondered if maybe she should have worn something more formal than just a button down – that showed enough cleavage that Tony kept peeking – a DC hat, and daisy dukes. Well, they weren't formally dressed either. Tony looked like he was about to flop on the couch and stuff his face with popcorn and Little Debbie treats. “This place is...amazing... Thanks for getting my stuff from my apartment.” She spoke with a light Cuban accent as she turned her back on the men and slid from her seat to move and look around the place one more time. The setting sun was casting a soft pinkish purple hue over everything that made it all the more breathtaking. Behind her, Clint adopted a sly grin. While his friend Tasha had seen the girl fight, he hadn't. He just wanted to see what she was capable of.<br/><br/>Tony didn't bother warning him not to, just giving a shrug and watching him creep up behind the girl. Astrid's eye twitched involuntarily as she heard the creeping footsteps, the feeling of being watched washing over her. Just as Clint's hand grabbed onto her left shoulder, she reacted immediately out of sheer instinct and grabbed it, turning around while twisting his arm and holding it there while his face contorted into pain. Without warning, she shoved her open palm against his chest as if to just push him back, but released his hand at the same time and sent him flying across the room and into the bar.<br/><br/>Tony had ducked out of the way, immediately whining about his broken glasses and the loss of his alcohol. Embarrassment washed over Astrid as the elevator dinged again and Natasha stepped out with Bruce, a teenage girl that was a bit on the short and thick side, and a tall boy with a serious demeanor. Tasha's blue eyes flickered about to observe the situation before a faint smile curved on her lips. “I probably should have warned you beforehand; don't sneak up on her.” Clint grunted in reply as he staggered towards Bruce and the short girl, allowing them to check out the damage done.<br/><br/>Tasha turned to see Astrid casually making her way back upstairs, but she knew the girl was horrified. There was something different about her from other people. She wasn't exactly human and there were things about her Tasha was curious to know about. She remembered watching her for two years. She was a predator then. An apex predator. But she just disappeared one day. Tasha had never been able to follow her to where she lived but she remembered that after the first two years, she hadn't seen her again for a while. When she popped back up, she was living in a crappy apartment and working as a waitress by day, an RN by night, and who knew where she went on her weekends off. She was different. Happier. Sweeter. Like a normal person her age.<br/><br/>She motioned for Steve to follow, heading up the stairs and into the apprentices' dorms, down to Astrid's room. Astrid sat on her bed, forlornly petting the massive creature she called a puppy. “You alright?” Tasha already knew the answer to that. Astrid shook her head, her blonde ponytail swaying. “I could have killed him. I haven't even started training yet but I almost killed one of the Avengers. Some hero I'm turning out to be.” She gave a light sigh, knowing that it wasn't her fault. Not really. Being here was making her jumpy. She had begun to realize how many scientists and government agents there were going to be around the place on a daily basis. Humans. It made her skittish and had begun to drive her even more paranoid. “Twenty-eight. That's how many times I've broken one of his limbs or put him in the hospital just during training alone. It's fine.” Tasha smiled at her, taking a seat on the bed next to her."

He immediately went to Clint's side, making sure he was alright. Just scrapes, and many bruises he'll feel tomorrow. He turned to see Astrid going for the stairs, and Natasha telling him to follow her. He made his way upstairs. ""Didn't your mom tell you know to sneak up on women, Birdie?"" Stark asked from downstairs, where Clint made some sort of grunt. Bruce seemed to like it, although the nervousness he had at that moment. They all knew what excitement did to that man.<br/><br/>Rogers knocked on the door before entering, seeing the large dog on the bed with Astrid, and Natasha. He listened to them talk, his arms crossed. ""He should have known not to try and do stuff like that... We're all here for a reason. You've got some potential for greatness, Miss Torres. And sooner or later they're going to see it."" Rogers said. Steve usually gave an aura of reassurance and confidence... but he knew what she was going through. Steve felt out of place when he was unfrozen. He was in a completely new world with new technology, morals, and not to mention super heroes... But he proved to everyone that he can help. And now he was the leader of earth's mightiest heroes."

Romanof was about to comment but tilted her head to the side and gave a nod. As she stood, she offered Astrid a smile in return. “I've got a mission in Barbados. I'll be back as soon as possible. Don't worry, you won't be too bored. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s letting us use a lot of their training facilities and equipment to make sure we whip you into shape. My personal favorite is the one in Brazil. I used to train there with Clint. Best part is the beach house and swimming after training.” Okay, that made her feel a little better. The idea of traveling the world to be trained by superheroes in exotic places was something that she liked the idea of. She gave Natasha a soft wave as she left before turning her gaze to Steve. As soon as the door closed, she hung her head and sighed. “I don't know if I can do this... If I do, then that makes me a traitor.”"

He gave a nod to Natasha as she left, and then listened to Astrid's comments. It was Steve's turn to sit next to her. ""I was always the odd man out. Always the underdog... he stood up and walked towards the window. ""some seventy years ago, i was a scrawny kid, getting the shit kicked outta me in every alleyway in Brooklyn. And then I knew the importance of power and strength... even when i was ready and eager to help, i was used as propaganda, no one trusting me in actual battle... but i proved them wrong."" He turned and gave a smirk. ""And when i risked my life and woke up here... Stark made it very clear that i didn't belong with a genius, two gods, and an invincible rage monster...""<br/><br/>""It was frustrating, humiliating, and i was scared, and alone... but i had these thoughts. I thought of the kids playing ball on the street when no cars were passing by. I thought of the family having a picnic in central park. I thought of all the bullies who picked on me, who would go through what i went through but with bigger, and badder people. And sure enough, i have a place here, as the leader of said genius, gods, and rage monster...""<br/><br/>""It won't be easy... It won't be fun at times, and there will be cases where you will feel useless. But you have this gift, and Agent Romanoff and I training you, you will be able to do the same all of us do: To protect the world from anything that put it in danger... plus the benefits of being a part of the Avengers is pretty good. A pool with a view, access to any city in the world, free television, and a lot of apple pie... but just not as good as the kind you used to serve me."" Steve said with a smile, hoping to get her spirit up"

She knew everything that he was telling her already and she knew that she was capable of handling anything that they dished out. She'd make a great superhero. Confidence wasn't her issue at this point. She had thought it over and reminded herself that most of the others were humans and she should never feel inferior to humans. Fear was her only obstacle. She looked Steve straight in the eye with her brows pinched together as her expression grew serious. ""I don't know if what I'm doing is right. Or safe. People like me... Mutants. This world isn't safe for us. I've heard and seen what the government and scientists do to mutants and now I'm involved with the most secret government agency in the world. They know my name, my face, where I live, and one third of what I'm capable of. What's going to stop them from turning me into a war machine?"" The fear was in her voice now as she hugged her dog close, burying her face into the tan and black fur."

Rogers said reassuringly. He assumed she knew a lot about his past from how she reacted to his little speech (Which he often forgets everyone does), he wasn't going to bore her with more information on how he has had many issues with not only S.H.I.E.L.D., but his own American Government as well. ""I'm new to this whole seeing gods, and people with powers.From what I've seen though, you are not a test subject, or a pet, or a toy. None of you are. And i will do everything in my power to make sure you don't end up as a war machine..."" Steve said sincerely, putting a hand on her shoulder lightly to try and get rid of some of that fear and uncertainty from before. She was now his and Natasha's responsibility. They were to train her in combat and in being a part of the team... and he had a feeling she was going to be a good match for the Avengers."

Everyone was a bit surprised when she was the first one up, though she hadn't slept much. She never did. She took her ""nap"" and was up again at four in the morning for yoga. After that, she had made her way to the gym and beat around the punching bag for a while, though she was half-assing it and more so just hitting it softly to the point that it didn't even really move much. When six o'clock had rolled around, she rooted around in the kitchen for some food and couldn't find anything that she'd ever want to ingest and had managed to procure a car so that she could go grocery shopping. She enjoyed being back out at the farmers market and was reluctant to leave even though she looked forward to making a meal. It was seven when she got back and there were signs that others were already awake as well, though she proceeded with making the meal. She had her earbuds shoved in her ears as she danced around in her pajamas, having rolled up her sleeves so that she didn't get them too messy. She was caught up in the music, in the middle of a samba, when she felt eyes on her. Her back had been to the dining room the whole time so she hadn't noticed the gathering of the others. Her face turned bright red and a faint shimmering red light came from her though it disappeared as quickly as it had come.<br/><br/>""What was that?"" Tony's face held a puzzled expression as he sat at the table with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. Astrid feigned ignorance and gave her own<a href=""https://31.media.tumblr.com/5e5c7ea5b22497c5fcefac32636cb836/tumblr_inline_n15qq14McO1qa6vu2.gif"">puzzled expression</a>. ""What was what? The dance? It's called samba. You should try."" She recovered quickly and gave a polite smile before moving to serve everyone, ""You were glowing."" Tony persisted, looking to the others as if asking them to back him up. ""Well, I did get a lot of rest, so thanks for noticing."" Astrid beamed a smile, continuing to feign ignorance as she piled everyone's plates. ""What's all this?"" Clint looked eagerly at the food as though he hadn't eaten in months and Astrid was glad of the subject change. ""Steak omelets. You've got your basic egg omelet but it's stuffed with sauteed portobello mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cilantro. There's also hash browns and steak stuffed in there. And then there's some toast and blueberries and strawberries. With choice of milk, orange juice, or freshly brewed coffee."" Clint was ravenous as he dug in, complimenting the food in between bites. But Tony wasn't letting the issue go. He stared at her intently to the point she was getting uncomfortable. As she rounded the table to serve his food, he squinted as though doing so might make her glow again. Instead, what he caught was the sight of her arms, as she hadn't rolled her sleeves back down.<br/><br/>""What the hell are those?"" He grabbed her by the wrist and further shoved up her sleeve to reveal a number of various scars, some of them showing prominently under her tattoo. ""Nothing!"" She yanked her arm back and continued serving the food, saving her own plate for last. There was an awkward silence as they ate and Astrid could feel the gazes burning into her. ""Do you cut yourself? You don't seem like the depressed type."" Tony watched her carefully, Bruce turning to look at him. ""Everyone's entitled to their secrets, Tony. Not everyone is as open as you are. Leave her alone."" His voice was calm as he tried to mediate the situation. Tony simply rolled his eyes and went back to his food, muttering under his breath about there being no secrets between the Avengers. Though Clint simply lifted a brow. Astrid sat and ate quietly, staring at her plate for so long and so hard that her vision got blurry while she retreated into her thoughts. She knew she'd have to tell them. If she was really going to go through with this, they were going to find out anyways. She was only making it worse for herself if she didn't say anything. She previously hadn't been sure if Steve knew what mutants were - Mutants tended not to make themselves known it wasn't really public knowledge. Though he didn't seem fazed by it yesterday when she told him that she was one.<br/><br/>""So, how'd you get super strength?""<br/><br/>She was pulled from her thoughts when Tony spoke up again, much to the annoyance of the others. Before anyone else could tell him to leave her alone, she straightened her posture and provided an answer. ""I'm mutant. And...something else."" That was enough to make their jaws drop. There were rumors of them existing, so the two other apprentices were a bit mind blown to actually be sitting in front of one. Tony and Bruce seemed to be studying her while Clint didn't seem as fazed (much like Cap hadn't), and Thor just looked confused. ""What do you mean? You do not look mutated to me."" He looked at her closer, squinting his eyes as if looking for some flaw. She sighed and scooted her chair back some, relaxing her shoulders. ""Some of us look it and some of us don't. Mutants are what humans call us.<i>Technically</i>speaking, we are homo sapien superior. The next step in human evolution."" Thor nodded as though he understood, though Astrid wasn't sure if he did. Then again, she (nor any of the others) understood how technologically advanced his world was. ""So... You<i>were</i>glowing?"" Tony gave her a look as if daring her to say no.<br/><br/>There seemed to be a collective intake of breath when she exhaled and gave off a light as though every molecule of her being, from her hair to her flesh to her nails, seemed to have had a light turned on inside. ""I can do a lot more than you know..."""

He heard someone exit their rooms. One trait that Rogers thought was both a gift and a curse: his peak human hearing made him a very light sleeper. He decided to get up as well. He walked in to his bathroom and took a shower. He exited in his usual attire. His short blonde hair neatly done, and in a gray therma-fit S.H.I.E.L.D. shirt, some black cargo pants and boots. He did what he usually did when he couldn't sleep: workout. He did pushups, sit ups, crunches, jumping jacks, you name it. As he did so all he could think about was how Astrid was going to do today. It was her first day of training, and Natasha was still out, so it left him to teach her. When it looked at the clock he realized that he had been working out in his room for some time. Two hours.<br/><br/>He sat up, and looked around. His room was spacious, but not too large. It had two windows that showed the New York Skyline, a comfortable bed, and all over the room were 40's antiques. A very old Brooklyn Dodgers poster (his favorite team, and was shocked to hear they moved to LA), an old Uncle Sam poster, photographs of family, and two on a small night stand next to his bed. One of Bucky Barnes, and the other of Peggy Carter. He sat down at a table, and opened a file he had opened many times before.<br/><br/>He read the names and looked at the faces of the people he fought alongside with during World War II. All fantastic men and women who risked their lives. Most were deceased, others were retired like Peggy... but he could never get the courage to see her face. He also flipped past a man named Logan Howlett, a man who seemed to survive more things than Steve did himself.<br/><br/>He heard chatter from downstairs... they were all up he guessed. Closing the files, he made his way downstairs just in time to see Astrid glowing... Everyone was in awe, Stark was speechless. ""So... ah... when were you gonna tell us?"" Rogers asked, not meaning it in a harsh way, just a simple question. after all, if he was going to be her mentor, he should have known about this kind of stuff."

The others gave her a puzzling look and she simply shrugged. “You all know how humans feel about my kind. I wasn't exactly keen on shouting it from the mountain top.” She crinkled her nose before shoveling more food in her mouth to avoid concentrating too hard on the way the others were staring at the light emitting from her. “What else can you do? ” Of course Tony was all too happy to push the conversation, leaning forward. But she went tight lipped and simply stared at her plate, becoming increasingly uncomfortable."

Steve said her him walking over next to Astrid, putting a hand on her shoulder. Tony gave a scoff. ""I'm no soldier, Captain."" Stark said, raising his eyebrows. ""Then back off. That civilian enough for ya?"" Rogers asked, his Brooklyn accent protruding from his anger. He always seemed to get worked up with Stark. They were both exact opposites. ""I'm against secrets as much as the next guy, but we all know that pushing others to tell these secrets don't end well for us."" He looked at all of them. ""We've all had our secrets, and in time we told them...""<br/><br/>""So leave her alone, let her train, and in time when she trusts us, we get answers.""

She quickly finished the small portion of food that she had fixed for herself and turned as she stood, plate and glass in hand. ""I went out on a grocery run earlier. We're fully stocked on healthy food. I'll replace the alcohol I destroyed yesterday.""<br/><br/>A light smile was given as she nodded towards the microwave. ""Your plate's in there. Same as everyone else."" She moved towards the kitchen though it was only to deposit her dishes before giving a sharp whistle. The large dog of hers came bounding in from the terrace and followed her down the hallway that lead to the gym. As she had been before, she wasn't really trying, barely tapping the punching bag in front of her with a light frown."

When she left Rogers went for the plate she left, and took a bite. It tasted really good... but then, everything he's eaten has tasted a lot better than the stuff he had in his old life. He gave Stark a look, then looked back down at his food. ""What?"" Stark asked.<br/><br/>""Just give her space, alright? She doesn't need anyone interrogating her. She clearly didn't want any of this being told. We also know how you are with others."" And with that he stood up, putting his plate in the sink, then making his way down to the gym. He watched Astrid punching the bag like he's done so many times. He walked up next to her, setting up a punching bag on to a hook with one hand a couple feet away from her. ""The best way to hit is to keep your arms close to your sides, and up, to cover your head."" Steve said casually, as if nothing happened in the room.

She had seen him faux boxing with a few of his fans in the parking lot a time or two but she'd never gotten to really watch him throw a punch. He wasn't bad. But she found herself zoning out and calculating everything about his moves in silence, deducing that she could take him down. She hadn't seen Thor or Hulk fight before but she knew their strength was more on par with hers. Still, she was thankful that Captain saw<i>something</i>in her.

He shrugged, and kept punching the bag. ""Suit yourself."" He said calmly. He knew she was strong, but without technique, and the power of Dr. Banner's other half, some of the people they go up against can do a number on her.He could give Thor a run for his money for a bit before going down... He didn't want to try and fight the Hulk. He made quick dodges, imagining a little fight against an enemy, and just as Astrid did moments ago, knocked the bag right off the hook and in to the wall, although not strong enough to make a dent in it.<br/><br/>At her words and put his hands on his hips, and looked around.

Her statement was plain though it almost came out as a warning. ""I.. I don't remember a lot from my time in the ring. All I know is that the last time I got into a fight I blacked out as soon as I got hit and when I regained consciousness I had destroyed an entire house. If my friend wasn't as gifted as she is she would be dead right now.... I can't control myself in a fight any more than Doctor Banner can control the Hulk when it gets out.""

The Talon hope to negotiate the use of an oil rig within Gazere territory. This would give the Talon the oil reserves they need to begin preparations to launch supplies into orbit which will be used to build the Talon's first orbital station.<br/><br/>Reports of Kuth scouting parties have come from the southern boarder, leading to the deployment of extra Talon patrols. Fear of the Kuth's intentions leads many to believe that there will soon be a confrontation.<br/><br/>In other news, Talon ambassadors made their long overdue journey into Catalyst territory escorted by armed guards renewing the treaties and assuring peace would continue between the two nations. Catalyst goods are expected to be arriving by weeks end after not having been shipped for nearly a month.<br/><br/>The EDF has had its own trouble with the Kuth, having had a few direct confrontations in which the Kuth was found in EDF territory. No battles have occurred this far, but it is expected to happen soon.<br/><br/>The EDF has also begun moving into Gazere territory, taking a more forceful approach to the oil demand. It is rumored that they will be deploying a heavy assault force to take the north western oil rigs. The Gazere have yet to respond to the invasion."

What he wasn't was a a man of patience. Patrol duty wasn't his ideal duty, but it was a duty nonetheless and he accepted it as a soldier just as a priest accepts their ordination. They were to play the role of both guardians to ambassadors talking to the backwards Gazere and the role of hunters. The prey today were the barbarians of the south, also known as the Kruth. To describe them as heathens would be far too much of an understatement to Thaddeus. Of course any nation that did not follow god as fanatically as Talon were considered heathens to Thaddeus, but the Kruth and the Caralyst were especially the most heretical. Afterall, both factions incorporated alien technology. God made man in his own image, and thus ANY incorporation of alien technology was heresy to the perfect world god had created for man. The aliens to him were demons sent to test the faith of man. Humanity passed, but now most of man was now corrupted, the Talon being the last stronghold of true purity.<br/><br/>Thaddeus continued on with the patrol along with his squad of soldiers. He hoped, nay PRAYED that there would be an engagement to prove their strength bestowed upon them by god. Meanwhile he relegated himself to pilot his machine while reciting one of the countless passages of faith he memorized on his own time.<br/><br/>""...for there is no true concept of right or wrong to the lord almighty. God is not a man, woman, child, elder nor being. God simply is, and it is hubris to believe that man, being weak of both mind and body to think we can understand the mechanisms of the universe it created. There is no real emotional states such as happy, sad or angry, it is only what man as imperfect beings perceive when the lord wills to communicate with them. Free will exist only because the God wills it. And if it chooses, God can will it away""<br/><br/>Finally Thaddeus Gaunt's patience drew thinner and thinner until eventually he stopped his mech from walking and turned on the microphone function that could be heard from miles around. Normally the function would only be used at lower volumes to communicate battle plans if commonly used radio jammers were in effect or if radio silence was needed. He cranked up the volume at full blast and shouted into the mike:<br/><br/>""I tire of this game of cat and mouse! If there are any heathen dogs who would wish to be shown the shortest path to the glory of god, then appear and we shall be your guiding light! Come to your baptism of fire!""<br/><br/>He waited for any response that would or would not come."

One of the grunts piloting a simple sword and shield unit spoke over the comm system directly to the entire squad. ""Colonel! There across the river.""<br/><br/>The river in this area marked the boarder between the two nations, and on the other side stood a massive machine built of dark metal with red runes glowing all over. All Kuth machines were bulky, but this one was excessively so. This marked it as some form of heavy unit, possibly artillery by the single massive cannon in the machine's back. It stood on two legs and had two arms, a humanoid type.<br/><br/>The Kuth pilot remained silent, well in his right to be where he was. He did not attempt to cross the river, only watching the Talon scouting party. One thing the grunt pointed out, was that cannon was aimed directly at Thaddeus, ready to fire at any moment. But it didn't fire, only prepared to defend the boarder if it needed to.<br/><br/>""Colonel, call for you from Admiral Jameson."" The Admiral contacted the mech which held the communication equipment, and as a result was able to be linked to Thaddeus. ""Thaddeus my child, as a man of good faith I have an opportunity for you to prove yourself before the eyes of God. The negotiations with the Gazere have finished, and in return for use of their oil rigs they request that we help to defend their lands from the EDF incursions on their northern boarder. I leave the decision to you Colonel. Stay there obj adding the pack of dogs from jumping the fence, or test your metal in the scorching deserts alongside the Gazere and show them the might of God's men.""<br/><br/>While the message went through, the Kuth machine backed away into the darkness, the runic symbols giving it away for a time before they too faded away."

He addressed the Admiral with stern conviction.<br/><br/>""Sir, if it be with the blessing of god and your permission I will assist the Gazere in defending against the EDF apostates! We will ensure that the weak Gazere are not exterminated in their own homes as well as beat back the Sodom of old. I will make haste to headquarters to grasp quick transport to my new duty. May the eyes of the lord and the inquisition fall upon us! Colonel Gaunt out"" Thaddeus then abruptly cut communications and started to rush to headquarters. If he was a wise man he would of waited for the admiral to finish addressing him, but he wasn't a wise man. He was an impulsive one and that impulsiveness would never allow him to advance further in his military career.<br/><br/>He felt a mix of anger and joy. Anger at EDF for being the representation of the corruption of man before the arrival of the demons, as well as joy for being given another chance to strike at this unholy abomination once again. He saw EDF as the perfect symbolism of the folly of man and the attempts of man to revive them as simply heretical. EDF was doomed to fall both from the will of god and the mistakes of the people within the EDF, for none may suceed without the blessings of the creator. The world was changed from the baptism the Lord gave upon the Earth, washing away much of the filth that plagued humanity. Now it was the duty of the Talon to continue God's work and scrub away the last of the remnants of Sodom.<br/><br/>After arriving at HQ, Thaddeus of course chanted gratitude to God for allowing him safe travel and then requested transportation to where he would be needed."

They brought Thaddeus aboard the ship that would take him to his post, his machine being loaded on a separate transport. Aboard the transport some of the rookies talked amongst themselves about what was to come.<br/><br/>""You hear why we're being sent in? Last I heard invading Gazere territory was a suicide mission. They may seem like savages but I've heard stories about their machines... They'd be deadly no matter where they were, but out in the desert they are undefeated! But if that were true, why do they need our help?""<br/><br/>""I heard the EDF has deployed a few moving fortresses. The Gazere don't have the firepower to take them down. I've heard the stories about their machines too, but one thing we know for certain is that there aren't very many of them. And they are based around speed and agility anyways, they don't use artillery. Doubt they'd even get close to the EDF without us. Of course, they'd have to stop their fortresses before the mountains, but they'd have taken a good chunk of land by then.""<br/><br/>""What of the Catalyst get involved? I mean, they're our allies too aren't they? And they're on good terms with the Gazere. Seems like they'd be helping too.""<br/><br/>""The Catalyst don't like to fight. I say it's a good thing. They may be lost in their ways but at least they aren't killing us over it. I'd say if anyone's worthy of salvation it would be them. They'd have to change their ways, but they aren't really bad, just lost I think.""<br/><br/>""I guess. They're a long shot better than the damned Kuth that's for sure. Those barbarians wouldn't know God's will if it smacked them in the nose.""<br/><br/>""Hey that's not true. We have shown them God's wrath many times before!

At least, that was what Command hoped for.<br/><br/>Shifting back into direct pilot control mode, Helena looked down to see her mechanized feet were properly locked into the foot pedals before sending Ivanhoe into a low jog, her escorts falling in with her as she looked across the line of armored vehicles entering the Gazare oil fields.

Smart kid, Helena had to admit.<br/><br/><i>""I was talking more about the air conditioning kid. We can make mechs but can't fit a decent A/C inside one of these? Fuck, I'm burning up in here.""<br/><br/>""I'm just fine Barker, maybe you ought to get it checked back at depot.""<br/><br/>""Maybe you need to get laid kid, if that rod up your ass doesn't get in the way.

Most of his time was spent either speaking in verse or silently praying, but that wasn't to say he couldn't relate to his fellow soldiers. Instead he chose not to. Too many times he tried to create fire forged bonds within the eyes of god, but too many times did those bonds shatter when the pull towards heaven was great. Of course he was happy when his allies died, they joined the grace of god!<br/><br/>Still at this occasion it showed a marked shift from the perspective of what god was. When he was growing up he was taught that god was vengeful and would bring his righteous fury to all sinners. Now in this modern age there was signs of change. Instead of vengeance, this god brought forgiveness. Instead of fury, he brought redemption. Thaddeus of course disagreed with this. How could a being that could perceive all times all at the same time ever have any sympathy for lesser beings? Still he wrestled with the idea that perhaps maybe, just maybe to assume that a supreme being couldn't have the ability to relate to her creation was in itself hubris. Thaddeus struggled more and more about reconciling his ideas of god to the modern view of god with each passing day. He didn't wish to, but he knew one day he'd have to balance fire and brimstone with flowers and love. But for now he'd have to ready these grunts for combat. He doubted many of them had been in a full engagement and he doubted even more that most of them would survive.<br/><br/>""Hear me and listen! What we are to embark on is a mission from god. The EDF are a blight upon this Earth, the remnants of the Sodom of old! They are beyond redemption, each and every single one of their soldiers is worthy of only one gift from god, and that is to be purged. When we meet them upon the battlefield remember that we are given only one sacrament, that thou shalt kill. Your children pray to you only one thing, to kill the EDF! Your mothers and fathers pray for only one thing, to kill the EDF! Forgiveness can only be given to those who seek salvation, and that salvation is not ours to give. Let us show them the path to god! Let us purify their sin through fire and fury! Let us teach them not to kneel in the presence of god, but instead to lie face down in the sand and bleed in the presence of god!

Not many of these men knew what they were walking into. A scorching desert where savage tribesmen ruled, sure everyone knew that. But the EDF were a powerful foe. They didn't match the strength they once had, but they were still a threat, and a full invasion force meant they had most of their forces moving in, while the Talon were only deploying support squads. After all, they were asked for artillery and heavy weapons support, not a full scale defensive operation.<br/><br/>A buzzing sound suddenly echoed through the transport and lights flashed all over. ""Got a fighter on our tail, doesn't match EDF or Gazere. Looks like a south fighter.""<br/><br/>A black fighter with red glowing symbols trailed the transport, but didn't attack. It was well into Gazere territory, where it had no right to be. But the transport was defenseless and couldn't really do anything about that. ""Support is on the way, let's hope they stick to their passive aggressive tendencies we have seen these last few months.""<br/><br/>Sure enough, the fighter just followed the transport for a while before breaking off. It had the ability to shoot down the transport, and even circle back and kill any survivors, but for some reason the Kuth had been avoiding conflict the last few months. Of course, they still got close to their enemy, such as the scout Thaddeus met on the boarder. It was as if they were watching closely, but not truly interacting with the Talon.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before two Talon fighters flew in to escort the transport, another three breaking off to search the area.

It was unlikely the Godless Kruth would turn their swords into plowshares, an invasion was more likely. But it was not his place to predict the future. God was what laid out the path, and his commanders were the ones who were to read the parchments of things to unfold. His duty was to kill those who stood up to God's light.<br/><br/>A few hours later the transport finally got to the rendezvous point. The blistering sunlight made a few of the rookies recoil from the sudden brightness, but Thaddeus was unaffected as were a few other veterans that were on the transport. All of God's creations were beautiful, it was man that corrupted and besmirched it. Oceans were polluted, verdant forests were chopped down, plains were littered with the corpses of the dead because of man. The sun was perhaps the one thing that man did not defile yet, and for that Thaddeus was thankful.<br/><br/>He looked around the camp they landed on and saw Gazere and Talon alike intermingling, some discussing battle plans, some helping each other unload mechs that were coming in, and others simply chatting and showing interest in the other's culture. Colonel Gaunt hated seeing the humanity in other nations. It was simply much easier to see every other nation as Godless heathens instead of actual people with their own struggles and lives. It made killing them much easier when they were faceless pilots in machines of war. Thaddeus made no effort in knowing his Gazere comrades, for he was confident in a few years time they would be making war with each other to continue the purification of the unclean.

He pointed in the direction of a larger tent towering over the rest, inside which the two Generals were mixing their strategies together with the commanders, just making sure their tactics would intertwine well with each other.<br/><br/>""Sir, we don't need the help of the Catalyst! We can handle this fight ourselves!"" One of the commanders yelled out to be heard by all.<br/><br/>""I understand that which is why, until further notice the Catalyst are only on back up. We won't be calling on their forces unless it's absolutely necessary. The main concern is the Kuth sightings here in Gazere territory. If the Kuth interfere with operations here, the Catalyst are on standby to move in and deal with them. They are not being used to fend off the EDF assault directly.""<br/><br/>Another commander called out rather jokingly. ""Just like the Kuth to try and get some kills from the sidelines. They've been running from direct confrontation for months now!""<br/><br/>""That just means they haven't lost any machines in months. We don't know what kind of forces they have ready to deploy and we aren't taking any chances of letting them take us out here. Watch your backs and your fronts. God be with you.""<br/><br/>The Gazere commander said something in their native language before crossing both arms over his chest and bowing. The Gazere commanders returned the bow. ""Get all machines ready to move, we head out once the Catalyst representative arrives."" The commanders stood, saluted and went about their business in the tent, communicating with their squads as well as the Captains on overwatch patrol."

After all he wasn't at a proper rank to really create battle plans. Anytime he was of higher rank his major weakness of no tactical thinking would inevitably leak through. One man can only do so much. Engagements can be won by one man, but wars require the full unison of a military. A true leader can both smash skulls in the name of the lord as well as lead their legions to victory. Thaddeus had might, but not the mind to really value the life of the individual. And thus a vicious cycle of being promoted due to his combat prowess and being demoted because of his high casualty rates started. They couldn't have him in a high position and they couldn't let him be discharged. Colonel suited Thaddeus just fine. But it did create a rather large problem. Thaddeus Gaunt had no squad to actually lead.<br/><br/>Squads around him had the nasty habit of dying, both the enemy's and his on. It was both a blessing and a curse for Thaddeus. It was a blessing because it forced him to propel himself to new heights of achievements for his God, and it was a curse because he never really created lasting bonds with his squad mates. Generals grew wise to this and would often assign him to squads filled with greenhorns to save valuable veterans. Of course this increased his squad casualty rates even more due to the inexperience of his comrades. He could go into battle with no squad, but a matyr without any sense is no really matyr at all. He stepped up to General Bishop and waited to speak with him after those of higher rank were done with him. After asking permission to speak he started his plead.<br/><br/>""Sir, I am Colonel Thaddeus Gaunt. I was asked by Admiral Jameson to assist our Gazere allies to secure the area and prevent the EDF incursion. Unfortunately I have no troops to call squad mates. If it be by your blessing General BIshop, I request to join and perhaps lead one of the squads that will see combat""<br/><br/>General Bishop had every right to say no. If he did say no, then he'd have to ask what his duties would be during his stay during this defensive campaign."
19570,Chrome Nations,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18918-chrome-nations,['Advanced'],2014-03-16 00:46:00,Bell,"The General looked Thaddeus over for a minute as if sizing him up.""you're Gaunt hm? They say you get soldiers killed under your command."" He raises his hand to the entrance to the tent. ""Walk with me will you?""<br/><br/>The General crossed his arms behind his back as he lead on. ""I hear whispers about you gaunt. People are afraid to be put in your squad. They say your leadership gets people killed. I was the one who contacted the Admiral and requested you be brought out here. See, I have a different theory. I believe that you haven't had the chance to work with the right squad. The people you have lead weren't cut out for your brute force tactics. They all wanted to hide in cover and were afraid of getting shot at. That's my theory at least.""<br/><br/>He stopped outside a mech transport ship, one unloading Thaddeus' machine. ""We got some new machines, experimental. Quick, strong, agile, everything they need to be. We got some damn good pilots in them too, and I think that pair should be just what you need. Cutting edge hardware and top of the line pilots. You may be used to getting stuck with rookies, and I think that's the problem. We'll see how you do with a real squad.""<br/><br/>He cleared his throat as Thaddeus's machine was set on the ground, and behind it a very strange machine was being pulled out. ""Here's the catch... These pilots are expendable. The admirals wouldn't allow me to give you the best we have, so they gave you these guys. Don't get me wrong, they're damn good at what they do... They're just, well...""<br/><br/>He sighed as a group of three pilots walked out, their uniforms giving away their ranks of nothing more than grunts. ""The higher ups absolutely will not allow them to move up in the ranks. They're too bold, and take too many risks."" He grinned looking over to Gaunt. ""They're afraid they have three more of you on their hands. They won't be trouble for you I don't think. It's the last one you have to watch out for.""<br/><br/>He nodded to the transport as a woman walked out. She looked like a ghost with Snow White hair halfway down her back, pale white skin, and pale blue eyes. She couldn't be anything but a catalyst, obviously converted to the ways of God now calling herself Talon. ""Maria Vestes. Freshly converted and still learning our ways but, a veteran pilot of the Catalyst.""<br/><br/>""It's up to you Gaunt. Ride with them or ride alone, that's the only way the higher ups will have it. They are afraid of getting more men killed under you, but these four are expendable until they prove themselves."
19571,Chrome Nations,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18918-chrome-nations,['Advanced'],2014-03-16 01:53:00,Teach,"Colonel Gaunt listened to the General with silent attention while following him. He didn't disagree with anything General Bishop stated expect that perhaps the General gave him too much credit. He did not lose men because of the fault of the men, but rather Thaddeus believed he lost men due to his own failings. In his vision, it was not the fault of his comrades at arms that they themselves did not have the same level of zeal for the Lord as he did. A servant is always willing to admit his own misdeeds, and the misdeeds of his own was that he was no leader. Thaddeus saw himself as a tool of god, and nothing more. A tool is to be used and discarded when the time came. A tool did not care if others cared for it. And a tool did not think for itself. Still he showed respect to Bishop with his silence. Then he saw the General's plan. Anger set in.<br/><br/>More specifically anger that he would be fighting alongside a Catalyst. Faith is not learned, it is given! This above all was what set Thaddeus away from the modern view of god as forgiving and loving. To him only those born and raised under the gaze of the Lord could truly be the redeemers of humanity, the purifiers of God's wayward creation. And naturally only the Talon had their citizens raised under these conditions. This Catalyst, this Maria Vestes was simply UNWORTHY of being a holy warrior.<br/><br/>""Sir if I may be frank, why are we allowing that Catalyst woman"", Thaddeus said as he pointed towards the woman, ""to even BE in the presence of those who hand down the Judgement of God?! She should be in one of the re-education camps praying away the Catalyst filth within herself under the watchful eyes of the inquisition! You know better than anyone else that the Catalyst are a hideous insult to God's image to man. A Gazere, a Steel Hawk, and maybe even an EDF would be more worthy of salvation than her!""<br/><br/>He waited for the General's reply. If he was to be expelled from the squad before even been given command of it, then so be it. It would be more preferable than fighting alongside a Catalyst. Still, if he wasn't expelled he would accept his post in the squad he decided. What he really wanted was the General's opinion on it, and in effect his view of god."
19572,Chrome Nations,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18918-chrome-nations,['Advanced'],2014-03-16 02:16:00,Bell,"The General listened silently, fully aware of Gaunt's feelings about the Catalyst. When he finished, the Teneral thought for a moment.<br/><br/>""The Catalyst are not so bad. The worst they have done is take. The alien technology for their own purposes. If you think about it, we have done the very same in the past. From taking a man's rifle to hijacking a mech, it's a rather normal battle strategy. And it is not always used against the one who you took it from. The Catalyst are, above all else, pure. You may see them as tainted and corrupted, but I don't know a more pure people. I speak of course of a different purity than is held by men of god.""<br/><br/>He watched Maria as she followed the unloading of her machine before starting tests on it. ""They are loyal, peaceful, he'll if nothing else you have to give them credit for being so damned clean about everything. The greatest sin beyond heresy is murder. Killing in the name of God is righteous and just, but to kill outside of God's will is a heresy in its own right. Life is sacred, and the Catalyst view life as much the same. And this one has chosen to accept The Lord into her life. So tell me Gaunt, what wrong is left in her? You do not choose your parents. You only choose your actions in life, and this one has chosen a life in the eyes of God. She's new to it all, but she'll be one of us someday Gaunt. Give her a chance. If not her heritage at least respect her will to fight in the name of lord Lord."

True, the Catlyst were heathens but they were peaceful heathens who spent their days scheming instead of taking action. But the one point of contention Thaddeus had with Bishop's argument was that while children did not choose their parents, God chose the parents for children. And yet this contradicted his view that humans did have free will, that they could walk freely along the many pathways to god. Thaddeus created more logic to contradict his own earlier logic. He would have to take time to digest what the General said into his own worldview, but for now his anger subsided. While some hate still remained, most of it would be directed to his soon to be squad mates.<br/><br/>""I can not find fault in your words, General. While I must be honest and tell you that I will not enjoy fighting alongside her, I will tolerate her. Truly God's light penetrates even the darkest of veils upon the mind. May the eyes of the Lord and the inquisition fall upon us!""<br/><br/>With that Thaddeus left the side of the General without permission to be dismissed to meet his new squad mates, yet another rather rash action to a superior. Thaddeus was eager to see what his squad was really like. If what the general was saying was true, he expected bold soldiers with enough zeal and fury to match his own. Though there was always the chance he was wrong, for only God was truly infallible. Boldness could come from many things including strong faith, emotional arousal, or even overindulgence of a vice of an alcoholic nature. He went up to the three grunts while the Catalyst was performing test on her mech. Perhaps subconsciously it was to avoid contact with her for as long as possible. He crossed his arms and addressed the grunts of his new squad.<br/><br/>""I am Colonel Thaddeus Gaunt and my callsign is Chaplain 1. I am to be assigned to this squad. Under the watchful gaze of God, all I want to know is your callsigns. Or at least I assume all of you have already been given callsigns"" he said with a stern tone without any hint of actually wanting to create a connection with them. If every single member of this squad was considered expandable, then their survival rate was already projected to be rather poor. It'd be best not to get too close."

They spoke loudly, but refrained from yelling. The way in which they addressed Thaddeus showed potential experience, and their voices showed they were confidant in themselves. They sounded off one at a time from left to right.<br/><br/>""Sir! Wolf, Fourleg Squad!""<br/><br/>""Sir! Tiger, Fourleg Squad!""<br/><br/>""Sir! Panther, Fourleg Squad!""<br/><br/>They stomped their boots on the ground at the same time, holding their salutes. Custom call signs AND a custom squad name. These guys had been around for a while, and it showed in how thorough they were with protocol. For the Colonel's reputation, the grunts didn't all that concerned about possibly being sent to their deaths. Behind them, their machines were being unloaded and matched their squad name.<br/><br/>The first belonging to Panther matched his name, a black panther styled mech with a massive long range rifle on it's back.<br/><br/>The second belonging to wolf was a gray wolf mech with a double barreled medium range cannon on the back.<br/><br/>The third was a Tiger, clearly belonging to Tiger. This machine was gold and black and had missile batteries mounted in the back.<br/><br/>Each of these machines had vibro-claws for melee combat, and the joints and air filtration systems were clearly advanced. These machines weren't unloaded normally, rather they walked themselves off. Normally the Gazere were the ones who used beast mechs, but these seemed to be a joint effort.<br/><br/>Each and every machine had Talon symbols all over them, and they each has in big bold letters ""With the might of God's creatures we bring his wrath."" They surely didn't lack in Talon pride, or faith."

Good"" Thaddeus stated. He was happy not to be saddled with new meat, but that also came with the fact that from what he heard these were hot blooded men ready to break off formation to prove their strength for God. But who was he to criticize?<br/><br/>""At ease everyone"" with that statement the men stopped their salute and faced him directly. Some stood as they were while saluting while others started to lean on a box that was filled with supplies directly behind them. Thaddeus addressed Panther, the man who was at the far right.<br/><br/>""Tell me Panther, what is our duty as proud soldiers of Talon?"" Thaddeus said in usual serious manner.<br/><br/>""To serve the will of God"" Panther said in a calm tone. Panther stared directly into the Colonel's eyes, unafraid of anything this executioner of men would throw at him. Which was actually quite an impressive feat considering the sun was directly facing Panther's face.<br/><br/>""A fine answer, Panther"" Thaddeus stated. The rest seemed to agree with him and that was enough of a test of faith for Thaddeus. Colonel Gaunt took his attention to the mechs that the pilots used in their duty that were directly in front of him. Thaddeus never really hated Gazere mechs, so as much as he simply found them to be a curiosity. If God made man in his own image, why choose to base your weapons on a weaker form? Gazere mechs at least weren't the unholy hybrid abomination of human and alien design, such as the Catalyst and the Kruth war machines. Thaddeus spoke to the men again.<br/><br/>""I will ask all of you two questions and I expect honesty for fear of God's retribution for dishonesty. What is your opinions on assisting the Gazere and what is your opinions on that Catalyst woman who is a part of this squad?"""

Panther spoke for the group as they seemed to have already worked out their feelings with one another I the Gazere. ""We're helping them because they got what we need, oil. Without oil our work would come to an end and the faithless would run rampant. If it weren't for the oil, we'd be letting them die to the EDF. Everyone knows they don't need the amount of oil they have, so selling it off for our help is the same as ransom if you ask me. You can't put a price on what God created, it's not right. The Lord put it there for all mankind to have in a time when ll were faithful. For these Godless heathens to come along and tell us we have to do what they say to get it, just not right. But it's less trouble than an all out war with them and the Admirals say it's the best thing so we can't argue with that.""<br/><br/>To the second question the three looked over their shoulders at the woman before Panther went on. ""We fought with her a few times. The quick version? Cold and scary. I mean, out here there's people who don't care if you live or die just as long as you do your job. But her? He'll I don't know what she cares about. She'll follow order but she don't give a damn about you or me, and sure as he'll don't care what you think of her.""<br/><br/>Wold finished the answer. ""Tell you one thing though, either that machine is way more advanced than they let on or she's one hell of a pilot. Wouldn't want to go against that thing one on one. I mean a skilled pilot could take it down I'm sure, but she definitely has some kind of advantage."""

While much of it was true, it was rather blunt to say that God meant for the resources of Earth to fall upon the needs of faithful That was simply pure hubris. The Lord help he who helped himself, to expect more without any of your own action was unreasonable. The Gazere were people also, a fact that Thaddeus hated to acknowledge, with their own needs. If they helped themselves, then the Lord helped them. Perhaps in the end Talon was the form of aid the Lord was sending to the Gazere.<br/><br/>""I expect you all to treat our allies with respe-"" Thaddeus then paused. He was commanding his squad to treat their friends with respect, but at the same time he intended to simply ignore the Catalyst. That was simply hypocritical of him, and he knew it. After a few strange looks from the other members of the Fourleg Squad, he continued.<br/><br/>""As I was saying, I expect you all to acknowledge our allies' call for aid. The enemy of our enemy is also our friend. As for that Catalyst woman...if she cares not for us, then she may expect the same in kind. Now under the watchful gaze of our Lord, go about the needed checks and test of your weapons of God. Idle hands are the Devil's playthings"" the three men then went about their business.<br/><br/>The heat was finally getting to Thaddeus. The sun was peering down upon them like the angels of old, and sweat started to drip down his face. But still he needed to meet with this Catalyst woman, and he couldn't very well show her any signs of weakness. And so he elected to stand around and wait for her to finish her own testing, so that he could perform testing of his own upon her."

Like a Catalyst. So how you say, we may expect the same in kind?"" He saluted before turning to follow the others to prepare his machine.<br/><br/>Maria finished her testing of her machine before moving to the weapons that were packed at its feet. She ran diagnostics on them one at a time to make sure they were functioning right. Finally she finished, and unlike most of the other pilots that were running around trying to finish their tests before it was time to move out, she had plenty of time to just sit down. She sat at the feet of her machine on the edfe of the metal platformnit was mounted on. She kicked her feet back and forth and stared at the ground. She sure didn't seem the soldier type."

He acted that he didn't care because he honestly did not care. He didn't want do do anything that involved her and he expected reciprocity. The Catalyst where an unholy combination of alien and man. She was no exception, even if her banner was of the Talon. In the end he who wields the Devil's Sword will be slayed by it. Though now was a good time than any to make introductions.<br/><br/>He noticed that she was finished making her test and was now simply sitting around her mech. Did she not know she was in the middle of a war? When the gaze of the Lord falls upon thou, be sure thou art at prayer. There were plans to make, litany of battles to preach, hatred to form for the enemy! Plans were useless, but planning on the other hand was indispensable! Yes, of course the damn Catalyst should know that, Thaddeus thought. He was being hard on her, and he knew that. But he just didn't care.<br/><br/>Thaddeus went over to the platform for her mech and climbed the ladder up. Just as when he saw her at the distance, he saw her still just kicking her feet and staring at the ground. This angered Thaddeus to no end. At this point he wanted any excuse to be angry at this woman.<br/><br/>""Are you making prayers to the Lord or picking out your grave plot?"" he said in a snide manner."

""If I die it will be in the seat of a machine where I will be left to rot and forgotten by those few who acknowledge my existance. The only grave I would be given is wherever I happen to fall when I die."" She spoke quietly, though loud enough to be heard clearly. She understood her position well, and that of what those around her felt about her. After all, the only friends she managed to have were Wolf, Panther and tiger and it took quite a few missions of proving herself before they even achknowledged she was a living person. Then again, her idea of a friend was nothing more than somebody who didn't wish for her to die. A type of person that was hard to come by as an outsider in the Talon.<br/><br/>Her squad respected her ability to fight, and they had come to think more of her than the enemy they have to fight alongside.

The more interaction there is, the more acknowledgment that they are human. Empathy is the worst handicap a soldier could have in Colonel Gaunt's mind. With empathy came hesitation and a whole host of other emotions to pour through such as despair, frustration, and anxiety. No, to acknowledge the humanity of others was the worst sin on the battlefield.<br/><br/>""I know only two things of you. That your name is Maria and that you are a Catlyst. I only needed to know one of those two things to pass judgement to you. And yet I find myself doubting"" And It was true. After listening to what General Bishop and Tiger had stated earlier, he found himself doubting. He hated feeling doubt. He tried to transfer that hatred into her, but he found himself failing. When he first saw her, his vision was stained with a target scope. Now actually being next to her, he could see that she was a living breathing human being. And he hated himself for acknowledging it.<br/><br/>""I am Colonel Thaddeus Gaunt, callsign Chaplain 1. I have showed many of our enemies the burning radiance of our God . Prove yourself to the eyes of the Lord and you will prove yourself to me. Now what am I to call you? Or shall I simply refer to you as the Catalyst?""

It's not so bad I guess.""<br/><br/>She had an obvious lack of protocol in acknowledging rank. Then again, people didn't really treat her as a soldier, but like an enemy civilian. Someone they hated and had no sympathy for, but weren't going to gun down themself.<br/><br/>A high pitched ringing seemed to grow in the camp, louder and louder until a dropship was seen escorted by four white fighters.

They have stronger weapons and defensive systems, but unlike the Catalyst they rely on heavy armor plating to survive making them quite slow.<br/><br/>The Kuth control the southern boarder of the continent.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/>The Steel Hawks are a nation of rebels and freedom fighters. Often considered freedom extremists, the SH believes that any form of law or control is oppression. They fight for absolute freedom of every man woman and child. Because of their rebellious ways, they have had to deal with older models of machines. While often slower and not quite as powerful, their machines have proven to be able to stand the toughest conditions without any trouble whatsoever. They also tend to not have to follow orders quite to the book. Their main strength is their massive amount of tank support. While not usually a threat to the larger machines, a large group of tanks can take down many threats on their own, and are an entirely new level of deadly when paired with larger machines.<br/><br/>The Steel Hawks control the mid-western part of the continent.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/>The Gazere are a more primitive people at first glance, wearing older clothing and armor and covering their faces. But the truth of the matter is their clothing is well suited to the desert they live in. Under those relics of armor are masters of the hunt who pilot some of the most powerful machines known to man. The only thing that keeps them from being a major threat to the other nations is the fact that they are both few in number, and very hesitant to enter a conflict. The Gazere also lack unity, the people living in separate villages spread around the desert and living for themselves. Few in number and divided as they are, battle in their own territory may still be the last thing you ever do. The Gazere pilot machines based on animals, and they hold the agility and strength of such. While some attack with vibro-bladed claws, others mount weapons on their machines for even deadlier combat capabilities.<br/><br/>The Gazere control the mid Eastern part of the continent. Their territory is entirely desert, and holds massive amounts of oil. Nobody is brave enough to attack however, so most often the war with the Gazere is a war of politicians.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

Even the most devout members of Talon society believe he serves as an ample example of not balancing faith with sense. Each and every battle for him is another chance to prove his devotion to their god and he uses every kill to symbolize that god is with them. To that end he often gives his troops speeches that drag on far too long in order to inspire his soldiers to great feats of devotion, and often suicidal charges. He cares not for the death of his allies, for he knows that they have joined with the lord in the life after physical existence. When not in combat he is often seen given fiery sermons to complete strangers and silently praying in churches around the nation.<br/><br/>Brief History: Life for Thaddeus was unremarkable until he one day when he was 13 and was struck by a terrible sickness. The doctors had no cure for it and all said that he would perish within a week. Day and night he would pray for the lord to allow him to live, to allow him to continue his service to it is this lifetime. He miraculously recovered and he took it as a sign from god to forever be in his service. As soon as he was able, he enlisted in the Talon military to further his service to the lord.<br/><br/>His early military career was marked with extreme obedience to follow orders and the fact that often times he would be the only survivor of particularly high risk missions. He took this fact as more signs form the lord that he was to lead the holy war against the enemies of Talon. He would be at a higher rank if it weren't for his high causality rates. His lack of actual tactics other than straight forward charges isn't from a lack of intelligence but rather a lack of creativity and a firm belief that if a man is to die in service to his country, he should at least be given the honor of knowing who the killer was. These days he is considered a talented melee combatant and an inspirational yet terrible leader. He would have been discharged years ago if it weren't for his ability to kill in the name of god.<br/><br/>Description: He stands at 5""11 with dark skin, a shaved head and a beard that reaches to his chest. His muscle mass is somewhat above average and normally he wears robes adorned with parchments of the words of the lord attacked to the fabric with wax. His eyes are a dark brown.<br/><br/>Machine Name: TMM-Z103 Witch Hunter<br/><br/>Picture:<img src=""http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/w/oz-12sms.jpg""/>"

Otherwise looks good to me. I'm going to put up a news broadcast that can be responded to however you feel. For example the Talon will be mobilizing forces to guard an ambassador as he attempts to negotiate the use of an oil well with the Gazere territory. You can be a part of that or anything else that involves the Talon. Beyond that feel free for pretty much any non military actions you want to take.

While she is often hard on her troops and holds them to high standards, her men know it is her own way of caring for them and making sure they survive on the battlefield. This is all largely stemming from the trauma of losing her legs, and subsequent loss of combat ability she’s almost obsessively working to regain.<br/><br/>Off the battlefield, she's a little looser in behavior and willing to crack a joke or smile, but still very professional. She is very loyal to the EDF and what it stands for, although she doesn't hesitate to snark about high command like any other soldier.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/>An attractive, young-looking, but professional soldier. An ideal recruitment model before both of her legs were replaced by robotic prosthetics after severe battle injuries. While most of the scars have been healed and faded away, the damage to her legs was too severe and she now walks around with robotic legs. She prefers to use human-like limbs to disguise her wound, but has to use mechanical ones to use a mech effectively.<br/><br/>Brief History:<br/>Helena was a prodigy of EDF cadet pilot corps, a child left behind at a military orphanage from an unknown family and adopted by the military Greyfield family. At the young age of 19, she was a top-ranked pilot and student, attracting attention for her near-instinctive grasp of mech maneuvering, to the point of being able to maneuver at high-speeds without auto-balancing systems normally used to keep mechs upright over rough terrain. By the time she graduated, she already had a reputation of a “Ironclad Dancer” for her high-speed combat style, and was granted use of high-end melee combat gear for her mech despite only just graduating. In part because the EDF was growing desperate and needed a visible hero to turn the tide.<br/><br/>54 missions. 53 victories and one draw. Where the dancing mech went, victory followed. While it was partially due to EDF command only deploying her alongside considerable fire support and veteran mech squads, her own combat talent ensured such victories were absolute. She became a source of hope and public acclaim, and posed for more than one recruitment poster too in between missions as she recognized the need for someone to take up the banner, although she refused to leave the front and the soldiers she fought alongside.<br/><br/>Then everything changed at the battle of Nordamark. A massive battle where the EDF battled the Kuth in a conflict engulfing over 20,000 mechs. Helena was caught in a duel against the Kuth Ace Ander Hardman, a climactic fight that lasted hours after both sides took staggering casualties in the brutal close-quarters battlefield. In the end, both mechs were sent toppling to the ground. Hardman was dead, but Helena was gravely injured. Despite the efforts of EDF surgeons, she lost both of her legs, and with them half of her combat ability. Even with the best in robotic replacements, she couldn't achieve the same precision of maneuvering control or mobility she had before. While still a competent fighter and mech pilot, she was no longer a bladedancer.<br/><br/>Kicked upstairs to the rank of colonel by EDF command to quietly retire their poster girl, Helena refused to be removed from the front and heavily rebuilt herself from a melee skirmisher into a heavyweight mech pilot to take advantage of her still remaining ability whilst acclimating to her mechanical legs, and doing her best to be the best commander she could be to the 25th ""Stray Dogs"" mech battalion. Yet despite victories and successes, and being able to pass a few of her skills onto the next generation, there is nagging doubt within her that she is permanently damaged and that she might be forcibly retired soon if she doesn't prove her worth again to both Command and her family.<br/><br/>Machine Name: M7 Guardian-class heavy mech. “Ivanhoe”<br/>Machine Description/Picture Reference:<br/><img src=""http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120428174925/muvluv/images/thumb/9/95/A-10_lq.png/447px-A-10_lq.png""/><br/><br/>Largely considered “a pair of guns with heavy mech parts tacked on”, Helena’s Guardian mech is a heavyweight mech with tons of armor, active armor ontop of it, and a pair of giant 40mm gatling guns with hyperkinetic payloads and on articulated shoulder ball-mounts allowing for 360 degree firing. The downside to the gatling guns is their ammo capacity, they can burn through most of its ammo on short notice. In addition to the standard range of handheld gear and weapons, Helena’s mech is also equipped with command gear and a onboard mission-control VI named *Architect to coordinate her battalion. While its not fast and a far cry from the agile hyper-lethal vectors Helena once piloted, its a walking tank of bulletfire very few enemies would want to fight head-on."

Amber was addicted to them, and she knew that one day she'd regret it. But that didn't stop her. She found a spot at the top of the bleachers and admired the large campus.

She put her hand out and smiled, ""Welcome to your new home."" With that she led them inside to the large living room. A fire burned in the hearth and a bunch of board games were stacked on one wall. Sofas and chairs filled the room with end tables. A set of stairs was on the right, along with a door leading to a hall, ""First floor is guys, second is girls, third is guys, and fourth is girls.

Upon arriving at their new home, she looked around and decided that she was fairly content with her new living space. It was definitely a whole lot more... home-like than the orphanage, and she got a room all to herself too!<br/><br/>After waiting for Lauren to finish talking, Alexandrite got her own thin piece of laminated paper and sharpie before heading for the stairs and walking up all the way onto the fourth floor. After a quick moment of pondering, she decided to take the room at the very end of the hall, briefly taking note of the washroom she passed by.<br/><br/>She paused in front of her desired room, and neatly wrote out the name she chose before sliding it onto the slot. Entering the room, she wasn't surprised to find a rather... basic room. The bed was placed in the corner (just like how she liked it) and above it was a large window covered with white curtains. On another end of the room, to the right of the bed, was a desk with a chair tucked in and a lamp turned off. The closet Lauren mentioned was across from the bed, in the front of the room.<br/><br/>Alexandrite never expected to live in a luxurious room, anyways. She was already perfectly content that she had an actual home to live in- hopefully<i>permanently</i>.<br/><br/>Thinking back to to the brochures, she couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, the Academy wasn't as bad it as may have seemed. The thought lead her to stare at her closet, and she briefly considered checking on the supplies, but decided to relax by gazing out of the window and enjoying the scenery."

The misfits, the ones who don't fit into society, are sent there to be in a healthy environment for them. Little do they know that once they are in, they won't come out. <br/><br/>The Academy grounds are surrounded by a giant fence and have students loyal to the Administration patrolling the grounds along with numerous cameras. The large campus contains the main school building, the student housing, a track, and large amounts of woods to play paintball and capture the flag for the students in their recreational time.<br/><br/>The children in the Academy are specially selected, they are the ones no one will miss, orphans, runaways, and others of the sort. Inside the Academy the children are appointed jobs and left to manage themselves, but if they get out of line they are punished by the Administration, the mysterious people that set up the Academy and only appear to the students as a voice, telling them what to do. When one is sent to detention they never come back...<br/><br/>The students are divided into three factions<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">The Savant</span>- they are the ones that hold the jobs of teachers, security , and discipline. They are the only students who the Administration talks to. They are a mix of snobs and some people who genuinely think they are doing the right thing. They are known to be ruthless at times, and the Administration turns a blind eye to their outbursts of violence. The other students view them as traitors, and puppets to the Administration. The Savant receive favor from the Administration and are given better equipment for paintball, the major sporting event the students have. Though it has its perks, the Savant are despised by the other students.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">The Sedition</span>- they are always trying to escape the Academy grounds and are the people who usually get in trouble. They hold the jobs of kitchen, janitors, and sports. They are a mix of rebellious trouble makers and some who just want to escape and go home. The Administration is most harsh to them in terms of discipline, and can be sent to detention for things others have done. The Sedition are all very loyal to each other, so if someone messes with the Sedition they have the whole gang coming after them. Though they can be rough, there are some who just desperately want to escape. They enjoy conducting capture the flag and paintball, and they usually win. They are looked at as allies by the Halcyon, but are just underlings to most of the Savant.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">the Halcyon</span>- They are peaceful students and don't usually try to pick fights. They don't like being in the Academy, but they live with it, and try to find the best in it. They hold the jobs of Supplies, Construction, and Housing. They are a mix of quiet, soft spoken people and optimistic extroverts. They try to abide to the rules, but there is an occasional escape plan from them, but usually more well planned then the Sedition's attempts at escape. The Halcyon look out for each other, and try to avoid trouble. They are barely even noticed by the Savant, but are bullied by the Sedition, though the Halcyon and Sedition see each other as allies against the Savant and Administration. <br/><br/> They all live in relative peace, though there is always tension, especially during sporting events such as paintball and capture the flag there is rivalry. They have their own housing for each group off the main Academy building.<br/><br/> The Savant in the northern most corner in a resort-type building with fountains, a courtyard and even a pool. They live in luxury. The Sedition are in the southern most corner of the campus in a well built, but standard dorm-type building. Inside it is usually messy and has a bad odor, but they have a full kitchen. The Halcyon are in the Western corner at the edge of the woods. They have the standard building, but put the effort into planting flowers in the front. The rooms are all relatively clean and organized with a large living room on the ground floor. <br/><br/>The supplies come in every night by trucks that are heavily guarded. Those who try to escape through the trucks are immediately sent to detention.You were chosen to be in the Academy. Will you abide by the Administration and try to lead a normal life, will you answer to them and live in luxury, or will you rebel and try to escape? It's your choice. Welcome to the Academy</center>"

He has brown hair and eyes, and rimless gunmetal gray glasses. His skin seems to be eternally pale, and his outfits are either Hawaiian shirts and shorts or something dark, namely a black trench coat and fingerless leather gloves.<br/>Personality: Usually quiet, Andrew prefers being by himself most of the time, curled up with a good book or writing a story. He has an intense love of sci-fi and fantasy, and is a bit of a video game and gun nut. Despite the fact that he tends to be passive, Andrew will stand up and raise hell when it's needed.<br/>Bio: Andrew comes from a troubled background - his father was physically abusive to him, and went to prison, but not before a messy divorce. His mother was depressed, and Andrew was placed into the foster care system after she attempted to commit suicide. Although his foster family was kind, he didn't let them get close, and he was eventually placed in the Academy.<br/>Group: The Halcyon<br/>Other (anything else you want to add): - Andrew is highly intelligent, and tends to get in trouble when he gets bored.<br/>- He is not good around girls, especially those he views as attractive.<br/>- On that note, Andrew actually nosebleeds when he sees something arousing, ranging from dribbles to nosebleeds with enough force to knock him out of his chair."

</div><br/>Personality: Amber is very laid back and independent. She doesn't really care about the fact that she was sent to The Academy, she saw it coming. She can be quite the flirt sometimes, and other times very protective and comforting.<br/>Bio: When Amber was 5, her mom passed away. Her life was a wreck after that. She kept to herself a lot and when she did try to be bold, there was always a bad outcome. Her dad was a deadbeat after the death. He continuously got high, had affairs with other women, abused Amber, and yelled at her. She had an abusive father, didn't get good grades in school, and had no friends, but she didn't really care. She just went with it. Her dad got tired of having Amber around, so he sent her to The Academy. She doesn't care (like usual) and just went with it.<br/>Group: Halcyon<br/>Other: She believes that cigarettes help everything."

She prefers to wear clothing she finds comfortable: hoodies, long sleeve shirts, baggy shorts, etc. Whenever she wears a skirt, she will always have shorts or tights underneath.<br/>Personality: Alexandrite is an optimistic girl that chooses to rarely speak, and speaks really softly when she does. She can be a bit wary around strangers, but she warms up to others easily and almost always has a smile on her face. Alexandrite is the type to wear her heart on her sleeve, and can also be a bit of a crybaby. However, she has no problem standing up for herself or for others, and can be reckless when doing so.<br/>Bio: Ever since the loss of her parents at the age of seven, Alexandrite lived in an orphanage, along with other children. She had been adopted several times, but every single time, she would eventually find herself back in the orphanage for reasons unknown to her. After her fifteenth return to the orphanage, the owner of the orphanage agreed to place her into the Academy.<br/>Group: The Halcyon<br/>Others: When she's tired, she talks more and basically says anything that comes to mind, which has gotten her into trouble before..."

When no relatives stepped forward she was entered into the foster care system, it wasn't too harsh on her and she has both good and bad stories about it.

Nurse Buck was an hour early for work.<br/><br/>This time of the morning, the Institute was as quiet as it ever got. Most creatures eventually fell into the rhythm of sleeping during the lights-out period, and waking during the lights-on one. It was a sleep cycle Buck still struggled with, being naturally nocturnal, and he was not alone: so it was never actually<i>silent</i>in the asylum.<br/><br/>At least, it never used to be silent in the asylum. Now that there were thirteen patients instead of the eighty-nine Buck had once helped care for, it was almost eerily quiet at night… and at times just like his first moments that particular morning. The vacant rooms were starting to fill with a pale, silvery blue pre-dawn light. It leaked dimly into the Institute’s hallways through the undarkened windows, adding an almost ethereal glow to the dim and recessed lighting that made the hallways navigable during lights-out. For just like there was never a time when all the patients slept at once, there was never a time when all the lights were truly out at Osmond’s Institute.<br/><br/>Though he was technically an hour early, Buck was running behind. His petite frame did not lend itself to large strides but he walked faster than much taller men without seeming to hurry. His yellow and black sneakers flashed in silent rhythm across the black and white checkered linoleum of the patient care areas. Clad in all black, the Cainite was little more than a rapid shadow making a beeline for the Central Nurse’s station.<br/><br/>Morgan Osmond had a very bad habit of dumping patients on the nurses with no notice or advance preparation. Buck could only be grateful that his boss had thought to send word last night that another group of the committed would arrive this morning. Buck had not had a chance to look at their files or do any sort of preparation in gearing up for their care. Morgan was fond of making people squirm: both the patients and the staff. It infuriated the little vampire. He hated being ill-prepared for anything.<br/><br/>So he’d meant to get in at three-thirty instead of four-thirty, giving himself a chance to thoroughly review the files. Since he’d been effectively living in his third floor quarters for a year now, it shouldn’t have been difficult… but then there’d been that fight with the alarm clock.<br/><br/>He waved the apparently blank white keycard attached to his shirt pocket in front of an equally blank looking black square on the door to the station. It unlocked with an audible click and Buck proceeded inside. There, on the counter just inside the doorway, was the stack of new patient files.<br/><br/>The vampire opened them all, laid them out on the counter, and began unlocking cabinets as he referenced the sheets of paper. Some species were unfamiliar and some he knew well. For the common species he knew which medications to procure; others required guidance from the files. He was working with frightening speed. Syringes were ripped from their sterile little packets, filled from the assorted vials Buck had pulled from stainless steel cupboards, and the needles then re-capped. As each chemical cocktail was completed, the petite nurse assigned them a carefully written label.<br/><br/>‘Rhorak’, read one. ‘Aniella’, said another. Then, ‘Simone’, ‘Hanneli’, ‘Aleksandrina’, 'Dante' and 'Alice'.<br/><br/>They were just names now, letters and numbers on sheets of paper. Soon enough they’d be faces… voices… sad, cruel stories… heaps of hurts and harms lost in their own shattered psyches. From patient files to patients. Patients he didn’t want to see slip away. Though Morgan had assured Buck -once, long ago- that the comas weren’t a result of anything he was doing wrong, it still left the taste of failure in Buck’s mouth.<br/><br/>Once all the syringes were filled and primed they were neatly arranged into a slim, rectangular, plastic case clearly designed to hold them. All their labels faced up. Having a sedative injection prepped and on hand for each new patient had proved incredibly helpful for him in times past. Even on occasions where he hadn’t needed them, Buck had never felt like he wasted time on the preparation.<br/><br/>As he was putting the last of the vials back in their places, the plastic case in his front right pocket, Buck heard the door to the central nurse’s station click to unlock again. The petite man sighed inwardly. This time of the morning, in this room, it could only be one person.<br/><br/>“Good morning, bloodsucker.”<br/><br/>Buck rolled his eyes and said, “Good of you to show up a whole five minutes early, mortal.”<br/><br/>Jean St. Croix huffed, stuck out her tongue at the back of Buck’s head, then hopped up to take a seat on the counter… planting her ass on the vampire’s neatly organized file array. He heard the sound of paper rustling, turned, and frowned at her.<br/><br/>“Really?” the petite man said, a touch of weariness coloring his voice. “I don’t like you any more than you like me, but I don’t go out of my way to make your life difficult.”<br/><br/>“You could have left the vials out for me,” she observed coolly, leaning back on her left palm… and twisting it a little, to wrinkle up the paper.<br/><br/>Buck shut the cabinet firmly, locked it, and then turned to look at Jean. Though she knew better, for a moment the female nurse really did forget who she was dealing with. She met his stare, and found that she couldn’t break it when the moment drew out. Jean couldn’t turn her head as Buck approached. He stopped about three feet from where she was sitting on his stack of files, and Jean could do nothing but stare down into his luminous golden eyes.<br/><br/>“Move.”<br/><br/>It was a small word, soft and not at all threatening, but Jean found her body moving before the syllable had even finished leaving the vampire’s lips. She hopped lightly off the counter and took two steps to the right. Then Jean stood motionless as Buck smoothed out his mussed files, closed them, stacked them neatly, and gathered them to his chest. He waved his badge in front of the black key box and it popped open, allowing him to return the medication cabinet key to its place inside. He knew as well as Jean did that if he didn’t log the key back in that way, any shortages or a missing key would be his fault. He shut the box, then pushed open the door. Jean couldn’t see Buck at all, but she could hear the smile in his voice.<br/><br/>“You now have twenty-four minutes to gather your injections and get your team prepped for the new arrivals before lights-on. Good luck.”<br/><br/>The thrall broke when the nurses’ station door clicked shut. Jean’s legs buckled and she collapsed into a shaking heap on the floor. She was dizzy from the momentary spell and quivering not with fear… but anger. It would take another minute for her to regain the ability to walk.<br/><br/>“You’ll pay for that, little man,” the woman growled through gritted teeth.<br/><br/><center>------<br/><br/>Come on now,<br/>I hear you're feeling down:<br/>I can ease your pain,<br/>And get you on your feet again!<br/><br/>------</center><br/><br/>Buck and his team were gathered near the gymnasium end of the hall. Although he’d prepped injections for all the new patients, he and Jean divided the new arrivals into two groups their first day. She watched over half, and he watched over half. Much as he disliked the woman, she did a passable job and managed to be less bitchy to everyone else than she was to him. She and her team of three male nurses would see to the first three new patients, while Buck and his team of two female nurses would see to the second three patients.<br/><br/>The two women who stood facing their ancient vampiric supervisor had the same face. That was to say that their facial features were<i>exactly</i>the same; they were painted, however, with different colors. Farrah was blonde and had eyes that were a subtly unnatural navy blue. They didn’t glow or anything, but who had blue eyes so dark they were almost black? Her skin was medium toned and tanned on top of that. She was five foot eight or so, taller than he was, and built like a gymnast. Clara had the same nose, eye and brow shape, lips, jawline, and ears that Farrah did. But her hair was like liquid copper, eyes a light though entirely natural shade of green. Clara’s skin was milky white, limbs slender and graceful, and she was petite in stature, at least three inches shorter than his own five-six. Not at all athletic like Farrah was.<br/><br/>He could find neither of them attractive because of that face. It was the face that told him the bone structure was the same. While the body type, eye color, hair color, and height could change, their faces did not. It was subtle enough that it had taken a while for even Buck to notice that all the new nurses were actually somehow the same woman. And not just the same woman, the same man on the flip side of the coin. The male version was more attractive than the female, with a square jaw and fine, sharp facial features. He wore different beards and shades of stubble, different heights and hairs like the women, but he had that same faintly handsome, somewhat reserved face. It had been disturbing, to say the least. Some of the patients (especially those who hallucinated frequently) never noticed it at all.<br/><br/>Buck wasn’t the sort who talked about personal matters with his co-workers, so he’d never really asked about their families or pasts. By the time most of the other nurses had been replaced with these same-face supernaturals, the vampire was pretty sure he didn’t want to hear the answers he might get.<br/><br/>Clara was mildly gifted as a magical healer, and like all the Sibling nurses, much stronger and faster than a normal human. She was soft-spoken, and with her small stature it was sort of deceiving. She could be rather brutal physically, and had a bad habit of strangling her patients… until she had killed one by mistake six years ago, and had come to work the next day almost a different person. Since then, Clara had sometimes struggled to do the things Morgan asked of her. Farrah was a very weak telepath, and had somehow managed to develop that talent into a super-effective psychic block. Her particular brand of cruelty was more in the channels of psychological torture instead of physical methods.<br/><br/>“I’m going to handle the Ragdoll, Aniella, this morning. Her native language is Italian, which I speak, but according to her file she has an aversion to males. If she panics at the sight of me, I’ll have to send one of you for Regianne.”<br/><br/>The two women nodded in unison.<br/><br/>“Farrah,” Buck continued, “You’re going to be dealing with Hanneli this morning. She’s a non-Earth patient, so be sure your translator is on in case she can’t speak English. She’s also a powerful psychic talent, and her gifts are directly involved with her illness. Be very careful, and make sure you read her file thoroughly. She’s the only one in the group who’s a transfer from downstairs.”<br/><br/>Farrah nodded, took the file Buck offered, and continued listening as he handed off the next file to Clara. “You’ve drawn Aleksandrina today. She’s a witch, but without the light of a full moon she shouldn’t be too difficult to manage…”<br/><br/><center>------<br/><br/>…Relax…<br/>I'll need some information first.<br/>Just the basic facts:<br/>Can you show me where it hurts?<br/><br/>------</center><br/><br/>It was five forty-eight AM, and Jean was handing out files to her team of nurses in the Central Station. She was sitting on the counter again.<br/><br/>Her Siblings were three males, absolutely identical except for their facial hair. Six feet tall, broad-shouldered, with deep chests and heavy bone structure. Their hair was jet black, their eyes dark violet. One was clean-shaven, one had a goatee, and one had a full, thick, well-trimmed beard.<br/><br/>“Okay, so, first off we have Rhorak the Shadowborn,” Jean said, and offered the manila folder to the goatee wearing nurse. “He’s all yours. Got your new flashlight?”<br/><br/>The man took the file with one hand and pulled the overpowered penlight out of his breast pocket with the other. “Yes ma’am,” he replied.<br/><br/>Jean smiled, and nodded.<br/><br/>“Then we have Simone,” she intoned, offering the file to her clean-shaven Sibling nurse. “Tony, you’ll be dealing with her. She’s some sort of wolf…vampire… bat…<i>thing</i>. Wait, why did I not give this one to the bloodsucker, then? Anyway, be careful.”<br/><br/>Tony nodded, taking the file and skimming over it.<br/><br/>“Last but not least, we have Dante the Magician.” Jean handed the file to her bearded subordinate. “He’s an illusionist, but he can’t cast without an incantation. If he starts acting up, show him how real magic is done, okay?”<br/><br/>The bearded man nodded… and grinned.<br/><br/>“So, we all know the deal, right?” Jean asked, meeting each of their indigo gazes in turn. “For the first twenty-four hours, we have to play<i>nice</i>which means no marks and nothing out-of-control verbally, unless the patients act up. I’ll let you know when we revert to standard operating procedure.”<br/><br/>Just as Buck’s two Sibling nurses had done, Jean’s three nodded at<i>exactly</i>the same time. Since they were so physically similar, it looked particularly eerie on them… in a way that the female nurse rather liked.<br/><br/><center>------<br/><br/>Okay.<br/>Just a little pin prick,<br/>There'll be no more AAAAAAAH!<br/>…But you may feel a little sick.<br/><br/>------</center><br/><br/>It was ten minutes before dawn when the lights came on at Osmond’s Institute. That was just the lights in the main hallways and all the rooms downstairs, however, and the moment at six o’clock sharp when all the patients’ doors unlocked at once. Buck, Jean, and their crews of Sibling nurses stood at the ready. Buck’s duo simply re-locked the doors to the new patient rooms, while Jean’s three went right into their new charges’ quarters.<br/><br/>Buck and his team cared for the existing patients first. Existing patients weren’t expected to get up until eight, but it was practice to check on them all through the windows in their doors at lights-on. Though most of the doors he peeked through were into darkened rooms where he could see patients still sleeping in their beds, at one door he was greeted with a bright light and a pair of black wings.<br/><br/>“Good morning, Jax. How are you feeling today?” the petite vampire asked, reaching into the inky black feathers to Velcro the Corvinian’s scrub top together around his unusual anatomy.<br/><br/>“Better than. Yesterday,” the raven-man replied. Though he understood English perfectly, it was still difficult for him to actually make the proper sounds to speak it. “Not. As good as. TomarRAAH!”<br/><br/>The last part of ‘tomorrow’ actually sounded more like the call of a raven, but Buck understood. It also sounded like something Jax might have been trained to say to his superiors wherever it was he was schooled.<br/><br/>“I suppose that’s one way to look at things,” was Buck’s only reply. He patted the last bit of Velcro in place and stepped back out into the hallway. “There you are.”<br/><br/>“Thank. You,” the birdman said.<br/><br/>“Of course.”<br/><br/>Then Buck was off again, peeking into all the occupied rooms to ensure that everyone was still sleeping. Jax made his way over to Cadie’s door just after the vampire passed, and peered inside. Buck frowned a little, but kept walking. That was a problem for another day.<br/><br/>Today, he had to finish checking on all the established patients, and then… he got to go deal with Aniella. He was genuinely curious about the Ragdoll: he’d heard of them during medical school, but had never actually seen one as they were quite rare. He was hoping that for once his unimposing physical stature would work to his benefit… although it had been a long time since someone had been terrified of him at first glance, and that might be a refreshing change.<br/><br/><center> -||- Cadence -||-<br/><br/>In the night ahead, there’s a light<br/>Upon this house on a hill;<br/>Living, living still.<br/>Their intention is to kill,<br/>And they will, they will.<br/><br/></center><br/><br/>Soft, warm sunlight was filtering down through the windows over the kitchen table as Cadence thoughtfully chewed a mouthful of scrambled eggs. She didn’t turn when her younger brothers came crashing down the stairs: the two of them sounded like a herd of elephants wherever they went. Chase went streaking by, spilling a glass of orange juice as he attempted to snag a piece of toast on the run. Her father leapt up from the table, and her mother turned from the stove to yell at the boy. Cadie rose from her place and stepped over to the fridge, grabbing the towel that hung from the handle. She found her mother’s hand on her wrist, and when she looked up at the older woman, the lined face was sad.<br/><br/>“Cadence, it’s time to wake up.”<br/><br/>It didn’t sound like her mother’s voice, and then someone knocked loudly on a steel door.<br/><br/>“What?”<br/><br/>Somehow, the word was lost in the darkness between dreaming and waking. Cadence tried to open her eyes and immediately cried out. While the right one came open, the left one only sent a stab of pain into the back of her skull and stayed defiantly dark.<br/><br/>“What…” she licked her lips, raising a hand to her face. “What happened?”<br/><br/>Her naturally soft voice was furthermore cracked and hoarse from all the screaming she’d done the previous afternoon. Cadie’s nurse probably didn’t even actually hear her so much as guess at what the mutant had said.<br/><br/>“Don’t touch it,” a cruel female voice replied. It was one of the two red-haired nurses, whose name Cadie had never bothered to learn. “You ripped the brackets off your therapy chair again, and this time you cut your eyelid. Then you had a seizure and bashed up your face.”<br/><br/>For a moment, Cadence wanted to sob. What had her life come to, that she’d torn her own eyelid open when her telekinetic powers desperately reached out to end the torture Osmond’s liked to call ‘desensitization therapy’? It was a cruel device that propped her eyelids open, making her unable to look away from the display screen. She’d broken it (and hurt herself breaking it) many times before… but that was part of the therapy, she supposed. She only had to learn how to tolerate it and not hurt herself. Of course, some guidance would have been appreciated… but they just strapped her to the chair, time and again saying nothing as they left the room.<br/><br/>“Oh,” was the only thing she uttered aloud, little more than an exhaled breath. She licked her lips.<br/><br/>Then bony fingers found their ginger, flinching way across her face. A heavy pad was laid from her left cheekbone to her eyebrow, the sensation beneath a tangled mess of pain. She could feel how swollen it was. A gauze wrap was wound around her head to keep the pad in place. The young woman felt cold, suddenly, and realized that she was wearing nothing more than a paper gown.<br/><br/>“So,” the nurse said after a moment, “you don’t get your morning sedative because you had a shot late last night. Instead, you get pain medicine. You’re not supposed to wear a scrub top, you can use this tie-gown as a top instead. Wear it with normal pants.”<br/><br/>She dropped the pink gown onto Cadie’s knees. The young woman was still laying on her side in bed, looking up at the nurse.<br/><br/>“Well, come on,” the nurse prodded, grabbing the younger woman’s bicep and jerking her upright. “I haven’t got all day.”<br/><br/>The swift movement sent a jolt of pain through Cadie’s head, and a low moan escaped her lips. She felt nauseous, the edges of her vision turning grey. The nurse gripped her elbow and twisted her arm, forcing the telekinetic to expose the vein on the inside of the bend.<br/><br/>“Quit your whining. You’ll feel fine in just a second.”<br/><br/>Between that second and the promised one, a needle tore an expertly brutal hole. Cadie ground her teeth to keep from crying out again before the momentary burn of medicine dissipated into pleasant warmth throughout her body. Bitchy as the nurse was…<br/><br/>“…you’re right.” Again, they were words so soft they would not have been heard except in the silence of Cadie’s room. She licked her lips twice.<br/><br/>The redhead grinned wolfishly. “Yeah, enjoy that shit. And go get yourself some breakfast. You’re authorized for the elevator today.”<br/><br/>The nurse released Cadence, and the girl sank back down into her bed. She had no idea what sort of pain medicine that was; it made her feel disconnected, dizzy and… light. Her body and face were comfortably numb but chemicals couldn’t dull the hurt in her soul. If this was a proper hospital, they would have had brought her something to eat in her room. Unfortunately, this was Osmond’s. Even though she was hurt and now doped up, she was on her own to get breakfast.<br/><br/>And Cadie<i>needed</i>her breakfast.<br/><br/>Luckily for the young woman, a black beak -and the feathery head attached to it- was peeking around the edge of her door.<br/><br/><center>------<br/><br/>In this house on a hill,<br/>The dead are living still!<br/>Their intention is to kill,<br/>And they will, they will.<br/><br/>------</center><br/><br/>Jax had waited patiently outside as Cadie struggled into her clothing for the day. Her gown was tied under where her breasts should have been and again around her bony, boyish hips. The medicine coupled with her slight stature made her cold so she had the blanket from her bed folded up and draped around her shoulders. She’d chosen dark purple pants and black slippers to complete her ugly outfit. The mutant hung on to her Corvinian friend’s arm for balance as she shuffled through the main hallway. Jax had offered to carry her, but being cradled in his arms was more than Cadence could handle.<br/><br/>Her palm opened the door to the elevator, which had no buttons and only went down one level. Still, it meant she didn’t have to tackle stairs today… that was good, because with one eye bandaged her depth perception was definitely off. This time of the morning, the cafeteria wasn’t crowded. She was pretty sure that she saw one new face, but she wasn’t interested in talking to anybody. She didn’t need to talk to Jax: he knew what should be done, and did it.<br/><br/>After depositing the wobbly telekinetic at a table, the raven-man went to the steam lines. It took him three trips to bring all the food Cadie would eat for breakfast. Heaping plates of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, bagels with cream cheese, a chocolate chocolate-chip muffin, oatmeal with butter and honey, a bowl of fruit salad, coffee, orange juice and milk. Jax took one more trip for himself, returning with a tray of assorted gruels he poured down his beak.<br/><br/>Cadie supposed that having a bird mouth and a human stomach posed some issues.<br/><br/>It also wasn’t like she could judge anyone on<i>anything</i>about eating, ever. Wings included, Jax was easily three times her weight and ate<i>half</i>of what she did. Though she tried not to cram too much into her mouth at once, it disappeared with frightening rapidity. Generally she’d make a trip to the lines, eat what she’d got, then return to the lines… but since she wasn’t capable of that today, she just had to try to eat the warm things before they got cold. Back home, she’d eaten in her room, alone: she couldn’t handle the stares she’d gotten from the other patients upon seeing the content of her meals. Here in Osmond’s Institute, a boyish waif of a mutant consuming enough food for three grown men hardly even registered as unusual.<br/><br/>So, it meant there were bright sides to be found, if one looked for them. She wasn’t a freak for her eating habits here, and she’d somehow managed to acquire a bodyguard/personal assistant to help her out on rough days. And even though Cadie<i>couldn’t</i>count Jax as a friend…<br/><br/>“Thank you,” she murmured, pausing with a spoon halfway to her mouth. Soft green eyes found his familiar, feathered face. “For helping me today.” She licked her lips twice.<br/><br/>Cadie suspected that ravens heard better than humans, because Jax never seemed to miss her barely-uttered words. He couldn’t smile with his hard beak, but the faint puffing of his feathers at the base of his neck could easily be translated into something like pride or affection.<br/><br/>“Welcome.” Jax croaked, turning one of his black eyes at Cadie. “You. Woulddo. Same.”<br/><br/>“I would,” the mutant whispered, nodding and licking her lips. Inwardly, cringingly, she couldn’t help but think that she actually wasn’t able to take care of Jax the way he took care of her. Without her telekinesis, she couldn’t have supported his weight down the hallway. In making her too weak to do damage, the Institute had also rendered her incapable of helping if she wanted to.<br/><br/>And the brightness she’d found moments earlier… faded.<br/><br/><center>------<br/><br/>Somewhere in the end we’re all insane,<br/>To think the light ahead<br/>Will save us from this pain!<br/><br/>------</center>"

The loud thud reverberated through the empty room, causing Rhorak to wince. He could only imagine the look on his Sibling's face. But Rhorak couldn't resist it. He had to see the guy's face in real time. Never ceased to surprise him.<br/><br/><i>This is gonna be gre- What's with this asshole?</i><br/><br/>The guy didn't even flinch. Rhorak was a sight to behold, and he didn't even bat an eye. Rhorak's right arm was twisted underneath his left leg, and his left arm wrapping behind his head, balancing himself perfectly on the limestone flooring. Rhorak teetered, and he collapsed on the floor. How could this guy not at least raise an eyebrow?<br/><br/>""Alright buddy. I would say rise and shine, but looks like you've been shining for quite a while.""<br/><br/>The lights that illuminated Rhorak's limp body seemed to shine even brighter. Rhorak was a bit of a rebel. He didn't enjoy taking orders from anybody, and this guy wanted him to just get up? Rhorak quietly ignored him as he stood up, twisted his arms backwards into what looked like a joint-snapping position, and threw himself backwards, landing on his thumb and ring finger. Rhorak relaxed again, and he began to think about the day. He enjoyed taking a few minutes to reflect on the previous day, and what he planned to do today.<br/><br/><i>This guy is impressive, I gotta give it to him. I shouldn't give him a hard time. First impressions mean a lot. Which means I really need to stay in control today. Focus.</i><br/><br/>The nurse stood there undeterred. He fiddled with a small object in his hand, smacked it a few times, then an extremely powerful beam shot through the lamps set up at the sides of the room, making the light from them seem like nothing.<br/><br/>Rhorak snarled inwardly.<i>I'm not going to lose control, I'm not going to lose control</i><br/><br/>He shined it directly in Rhorak's eyes.<br/><br/><i>I am NOT going to attack this guy, I swear... I wont!</i><br/><br/>The nurse walked over to Rhorak, took a second to observe, and shook him up.<br/><br/><i>Oops</i><br/><br/>Right in the spot where the nurse's hand had been, sharp spikes a few inches long pierced the light straight towards the nurse's hand. Had the nurse's fast reflexes not taken effect, he'd have a gaping hole in the middle of his hand. However, only a deep gash remained.<br/><br/>""Well aren't you a feisty one? First time taking care of a patient, and I get the gash? Asshole."" The nurse fuddled with his pockets a few seconds, finally pulling out two syringes. Rak was out of control at that point. His body was frozen, although hundreds of spikes were appearing all across his body, all attempting to do serious damage to the nurse, but the bright lights rendered them only a few inches long. His face was one of pure rage. The nurse took one syringe, and stabbed it into his arm.<br/><br/>""Pain killers."" He explained. He then took the other syringe, and stabbed it right into Rak's neck. The spikes on Rak started to slow down, fade away.<br/><br/>""A little bit more than pain killers."" He smirked, pulling Rak down to a normal standing position. The nurse stood back for a second, then applauded.<br/><br/>""Most humans wouldn't be able to stand after the amount of sedative I just injected into you. Now, let's see if you can think still. I'm Kyle. I'm escorting you today around Osmond's Institute, where you are staying. You will listen to whatever I say or get beaten, somehow. Got it? Let's go.""<br/><br/>Kyle escorted Rak out the door, walking him to the lunchroom.<br/><br/><center>_____________________</center><br/><br/>Rhorak sat at an empty lunchtable, still sedated. Rubbing his head, he groaned. He had to make sure he played the part of weakened patient to his nurse, or else his nurse may go farther. The sedatives Kyle gave him were extremely little to a Shadowborn, but it was enough to get him dazed, loopy, for a minute. Taking a look back, and seeing that Kyle wasn't paying attention to him anymore, Rak allowed his feet and part of his leg flow into the shadow underneath the table, and slowly fluid started to pool underneath. Although medicine does affect him, by turning into shadows the medicine will simply fall where it was supposed to be, effectively separating it from Rak. After a few minutes of this, Rak restored his legs and feet, and stood up. He stretched, finally feeling free of the medicine. Rak decided he was going to pay a quick visit to Kyle, see if he could at least fix his mistake that morning a little bit. Rak walked over to where Kyle was standing.<br/><br/>""Hey. Sorry about this morning. Did they not tell you how much I hate lights and people moving me? You'd think they'd tell you something like that. Careful next time, alright? Then you don't have to have two gashes in your hand.""<br/><br/>Kyle groaned, clearly feeling above this. ""I would say I didn't sign up for this, but I kinda did. Leave me alone. You don't deserve to mingle with us nurses. Have fun with your playmates."" Kyle shined the light into Rak's eyes, made sure Rak stumbled back a bit, and pushed the handful of pain-in-the-ass he was presented by Jean away from him.<br/><br/>Kyle whispered under his breath, ""How'd I manage to get<i>this</i>guy?""<br/><br/>Rak forced his eyes as far closed as they could be. As much as the situation pained him, he knew he had to keep focus now of all times. He walked back to the table he was sitting at.<br/><br/><i>Well, I already screwed one thing up, and look where it got me. How long does this torture last? Shadowborn's don't die from age, we die from fading away from light. As much light as they've exposed me to, I'd calculate it'd take another 3234 years before I am even close. Though if he shines that high-powered light at me... Nevertheless, that's a long time. I hate this already. Considering the screaming of other patients I heard last night, I must not be the only one. Let's find someone.</i><br/><br/>He stood up, and searched among the busy tables in the lunchroom, looking for somebody in as much pain as he was."

The moment his eyes shut the screams of his sister that fateful night sounded as clear as ever. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't hear those screams another moment. He had been sitting up on his bed, legs folded comfortably beneath him. He was lucky enough that they allowed him to keep the cards. Though not without giving them a terrible bending looking for anything concealed within them. They were already old with the edges worn down and brown from dirt. They couldn't take much more of a beating before they were useless. But he wouldn't let that happen. Emilia loved that deck of cards. It the backs had paintings of animals on them. Though most of the pictures had worn off. They were still sentimental.<br/><br/>He idly folded and shuffled the deck of cards carefully and with expert precision. He had shuffled this very deck nearly a million times since the first day he had it. No wonder it was falling apart. As he played with the deck of cards he stared at the far of wall, lost in his thoughts.<br/><br/><i>'Emilia. Where are you?'</i>He thought to himself, The words echoed in his mind as if waiting for it to reach Emilia's ears and get a response. But no words returned to him. It was silence. A double edged sword. Emilia wasn't there but neither was the voice. The dark entity that invaded his soul and daily tries to stake claim. But he wouldn't let that happen. He couldn't. If that voice took over who would show Emilia new tricks? She loved his tricks. He couldn't let you be bored and want to leave. No no, never leave. That wasn't an option.<br/><br/><i>'She must not be responding because she is back in Sicily, trying to find my chocolates. Yes, that's it. She loves searching for my hidden candy back home. She will be back soon. Of course she will. No need to worry.'</i>He reasoned to himself. Lost in his thoughts to the point he didn't even realize he was still shuffling the deck of cards.<br/><br/><i><b>'You know she's dead right?</b></i>A deep, raspy voice spoke out within his mind. It was him. Apparently he wouldn't get to spend some time without the irritating voice chiming in with his unwanted two cents.<i><b>'Burnt to a crisp remember. Like a marshmallow stoked in a fire too long.'</b></i><br/><br/>""Shut up!"" He called out rather loudly in a demanding tone, ""Shut up..."" he echoed the command in a whisper.<br/><br/><i><b>'Sorry. Have a struck a cord? Are you upset you were too much of a bitch to go in and save her. Don't forget that it's your fault she is dead. You left her there to char.'</b></i>The voice said matter of factly, his tone conveying the wicked grin.<br/><br/>""And remember you are only an empty voice in the back of my head with no power..."" He reminded in a hiss no louder than a whisper through a clenched jaw.<br/><br/><i><b>'For now...'</b></i>The voice trail off with laughter that slowly faded into silence.<br/><br/>Before he could dwell on the matter for another moment he heard the latch of the cell open with a loud clank, echoing within the small room. Dante slipped into his usual facade, broad grin bearing white teeth. A confident look that hid the terror behind his eyes. He tried his best to act normal, not letting people see the strings that barely held him together. He was a clown with a painted on mask.<br/><br/>He stuffed his carded into the pocket of his patient uniform, keeping them out of sight. As the door slid open with a deafening screech a man stepped in, a stoic look to his face as if he had hardly the time for games. But games were Dante's favorite thing.<br/><br/>Dante easily jumped to his feet. With a flourish and the bow of his head he greeted the nurse with an elegant decree. ""Why the best of mornings to you sir. Though I regretfully must inform that I had not requested any wake up service. But, if you so happen to have a chocolate for my pillow I would graciously take it off your hands."" He stated in an charming accent, holding out his hand with his palm up awaiting his chocolate treat. The man did not seem even the slightest impressed nor amused. Surely if it were a woman she would have found it charming; or at least he tried to reason.<br/><br/>""You need to make your way to the Cafeteria and have your meal. I have medicine for you."" He instructed without even a hint of emotion. No showmanship. Surely this man was not a man who loved his job. And one thing you did not want a man doing who did not love his job doing is stabbing you with a needle. Which he so happened to be doing. How rude, and not even a loli to make the ouchy all better.<br/><br/>The syringe emptied quickly and the liquid worked faster than expected. Outwardly from his arm he felt a warm sensation followed by the distinct affect of no longer giving a crap. Which was nice if he had to admit. ""You know..."" he began, a tad less formal as it had been prior. ""If I wanted to spend my morning getting High.. you could have left me in London."" He informed with a swipe of a finger across his nose.<br/><br/>And with that he was off. A long step that seemed to throw him into motion, coming to an abrupt halt in the center of the hallway, a quick spin on his heels and he was off once more though now down the hallway and towards the stairs. The 'Cafeteria' signs were a large help when navigating through the halls. For a moment he thought he was alone but the sharp poke at his back to hurry up was a not so kind reminder that he was not.<br/><br/>Three wrong turns and an awkward elevator ride with Sir happy later he had found himself in the large mess hall. Apparently not many had arrived yet. It was only some strange fellow, a tiny girl that seemed to have three stomachs, and a....<i><b>'Dear god.. Did his mother get fucked by a pigeon!?'</b></i>the voice chimed back in at the sight of the raven/humanoid creature.<i>'Apparently..'</i>Dante responded in his own thoughts, a rare moment the two were both in agreement and equal shock.<br/><br/>Dante tried his best not to stare, walking over to where the two lines met before separating going in different ways. He was a bit set back, looking off to one side it was a rather grotesque display of all things.... Well gross if he were to be completely Frank. Frank being a man he knew in London who was awfully blunt and mildly dimwitted. Though as his eyes fell upon the pig hearts his annoying mental companion apparently just had to chirp up.<i><b>'Ooh.. Those look tasty.. Not nearly as good as a human heart but I am in no position to judge. Come on, just a bite Dante....'</b></i>The voice chirped, nearly begging.<i>'Not a chance. I am getting pancakes. And I thought I told you to shut up.'</i>Luckily it wasn't close to his birthday, he had little power to refuse Dante and continue his incessant pleading. He grabbed a tray and a plate, walking casually through the line he deemed delicious and began his raid upon the great lands of flavor until he has won the conquest against the dreadful rumble within his stomach.<br/><br/>He grabbed pancakes, fluffy and still steaming with warmth as if they were made out of a dream. He drowned the poor thing in butter and syrup before moving on. He stacked his plate with bacon and sausage, a couple sunny side up ends in the corner trying to keep clear of the syrup river that flowed rich in this land. He still continued on. He grabbed toast, an onion ring or seven, a bundle of grapes, some cream cheese with a dash of bagel and a slather of strawberry jam and an apple to keep the doctor away of course. Ever since he had been given the powers of real magic it messed with his body chemistry, burning calories at an accelerated rate. He could hardly keep up with it to be honest.<br/><br/>The somehow skinny Italian waddled his way to an empty table, dropping his tray on the metal surface with an obnoxiously loud bang; he cared little for the eyes that may fall upon such a clatter of noise. He began to think if he were fed this nicely every morning this place didn't seem so bad. Though assuredly he would regret those words soon enough."

Sasha blamed the shadow, she had always suspected that its allegiances lay with the sun.<br/><br/>The sharp cruel light of morning had driven her away from the uncomfortable cot that served as a bed, until she was crouched into the corner of the small room next to the door, a hiss bubbling in the space between her tongue and her teeth.<br/><br/>This was where the nurse found her, cowering and weak willed. It was a simple matter for the one called Clara to haul Sasha to her feet, even though Sasha whimpered and hid her face from the light of the corridor with curled fists. That kind of light did not harm her but her first instinct was always to draw away from it.<br/><br/>“Hold out your arm, Aleksandrina,” Clara crooned. “It will only hurt for a moment.”<br/><br/>In a moment that was approximately the length of time that Sasha would have been hurt by the needle, the fair Russian witch leaned over and bit her nurse, sharp teeth sinking into pale skin as though Clara was soft like clay.<br/><br/>Sasha was a particularly talented biter, it was the main reason that two different boyfriends had cited for breaking up with her. Clara however did not even bat her eyelashes in surprise once, she simply forced Sasha upright with a strong hand and straightened out her arm so that she could stick the needle into the folds of skin that protected the inside of her elbow and inject her with the substance that had been prepared especially for her.<br/><br/>The patient went limp and sullen against her nurse, and she allowed her to gently tug her into the corridor and usher her towards the dining hall.<br/><br/>“Here,” said Clara. “You can sit over here with Dante, he plays with magic too.”<br/><br/>Sasha tried to bite her again but Clara was a quick learner, and she escaped out of biting reach, leaving Sasha to glare sullenly from the patch of shadow that she had automatically slid into."

Everything was ethereal, the world seemed to glow, seemed to have an aura. Everything was brighter, crisper, like the sun shone brighter and the colours were more enhanced than they naturally should be. The grass, the beautiful grasses that reached to her knees; a million different shades of green that seemed to melt together into a velvet, blanketed eternity, stretching off until it blurred and mixed in with the azure blue sky.<br/><br/>The air was warm, soothing, wrapping her in its warm arms that comforted her until she felt the safest she'd ever felt since before she could ever recall. It trickled over her skin like warm water, dissipating her fears, evaporating her reality and creating her own reality. This reality. Everything was just as it should be here, and better, she had everything she could ever want for. She was safe here, she was who she used to be here.<br/><br/>Her hands came up into her field of vision, the sun-kissed skin wrapped around her muscles, tendons, bones and blood seemed to glitter back at her, unblemished, as if from a fairy tale. Her hair was long, mahogany brown, sleek as newly spun silk that trailed through her fingers like liquid sand. She cast her eyes beyond the hands in front of her face, and found herself looking upon an ocean, and the ground beneath her feet seemed to give way as sand wriggled through her toes and slid over the tops of her feet; warm and inviting.<br/><br/>There was a presence behind her, a wicker and a blow of air that ruffled the soft cotton of the gown she wore, tickling the backs of her knees. She need not glance behind her to know what creature approached. The soft velvet muzzle nudged her shoulder, and the wicker came again. When the beast received no attention, it proceeded to nibble at the gown, and she could feel the short, rough whiskers of the horses lips against her bare arms.<br/><br/>She ignored the animal, knowing that mere physical touch did not define their relationship, and instead pressed forward, allowing herself to move closer to the ocean that stretched out into forever before her. The hot sand that slid between her toes and engulfed her feet was a relaxing sensation, and made her feel drowsy. Before she knew it, she was drifting -falling- backwards, although it did not feel like falling, she felt weightless, as if gravity did not hold her pinned to the earth as it once had. The feeling did not last as long as she would have liked, for she lay on her back- bare, with the warm sand hugging every crevice of her body.<br/><br/>To her left, the ocean, which had only seconds ago been something out of a fairy tale, was beginning to dull, the colour seeming to drain out of her vision, until it was but grey. Twisting her head to the right, she watched as the beast which had once been her one and only friend, rear up with a screech, twist, and gallop off into the distance until all that was left of her perfect world was the soft sand on which she lay. The rest of the world was dim, dark, and nothing at all the perfect world she had imagined.<br/><br/><center>---<br/>A fragile frame aged <br/>With misery, and<br/>When our eyes meet<br/>I know you see<br/>---</center><br/><br/>When Aniella seemed to come back into reality, and blinked, she was sitting upright, staring ahead at nothing. She was still warm, even though the blanket which she was mysteriously wrapped in had dropped to her waist, exposing her bare torso to the dimly lit room. However Aniella seemed not to notice, as if still immersed in her dream world, unaware that she was now awake and staring at a blank wall.<br/><br/>When she did seem to come into her surroundings, Aniella could not say at all what the time was. Nor did she particularly care, the first thing the young female did was look down upon herself, and felt a repulsion twist inside her chest, almost as if she felt she would physically vomit at the sight of her chest in the low light of the sun that trickled through the window. Her chest was a mess of different colours, even in the dim morning light, Aniella could tell this skin was not her own, and she swallowed hard on the rising lump in her throat at the harsh realisation that her dream had been just that. A dream.<br/><br/>The pain was almost normal now, she reflected, which only added to her repulsion. The thick, jagged scars stretching across her body like tinsel on a Christmas tree still wept small beads of blood, staining her recycled skin and the ivory sheets in which she was tangled up in. Her small, deft hands pawed at them regardless, pulling them up and around her shoulders, burying her face in them in a feeble attempt to cover herself and will herself to stop existing.<i>Why can't it just be over already? Why do I have to be the one to suffer...? </i><br/><br/>As if in reply, her mind flashed back to the last place she remembered, an astral being, watching herself skinning other human beings, not even half her age. She remembered vividly the thick, sticky blood up her bare arms, satiating her primal need to cut, her need to survive. A need she prayed to whatever semblance of a God there was left to just strip her of that need, so she might just die and leave the world with one less parasite. Her stomach churned, and Aniella realized with grim resignation that if she didn't move, she would be decorating these ivory sheets with yesterdays (or whenever the last time she ate was) meal.<br/><br/>It wasn't until Nell was hunched over the toilet bowl that she discovered that she had in fact, not eaten anything. She heaved, and she heaved, and she heaved. Nothing but acidic stomach fluid and bile, which tore into her throat and made her crave any form of hydration. She felt her way to the sink, the room dark, but shadows of objects visible in what dim light there was. Feeling for the tap, hot or cold, she didn't know- or care, she twisted it on and dipped her head under the tap. The lukewarm water filled her mouth, and she coughed it all back out into the sink; now pink-stained water sloshing against the ceramic bowl. That was all she needed, really, to wet her throat. The scratchiness remained, but she didn't like to irritate her constantly-healing facial scars.<br/><br/>The young Italian found her way back into the room she'd woken up in, and with a sick horror, heard movement outside the door. Suddenly the room was lit up, not from a light within, but out there- somewhere. Nell darted back to the bed and fought her way beneath the sheet and quickly tried to cover every inch of her body from this intruder. She sat as still as she could manage through her panic, straining to hear how far away this person was... Nothing. Aniella frowned, unable to hear the footfalls of the person somewhere outside her door; she strained more, and discovered she could not make out a heartbeat either. She relaxed. They must have left.<br/><br/>After a few more moments in the yellow-washed room that now surrounded her, thanks to the new light spilling in from the window; Aniella had to wonder where exactly she was. This was certainly not a place she had ever been before, and it felt too real to be a dream. She might have pinched herself to make sure, but she was too afraid the skin would fall away at her fingertips. It wasn't an ugly room, it was stripped back and bare, just what was needed, she guessed. She wasn't sure how long she had been asleep, or how long ago her last memory was. She felt as if she had been asleep for years, but it surely couldn't have been that long. Maybe she was in a hospital; maybe there were people here now to--<br/><br/><i>Tap, tap, tap! </i><br/><br/>Aniella visibly jumped, her head jerking to the side to stare at the door- or moreover, the figure standing at the door.<i> Oh god!</i>Panic rose up in her throat, and she planted herself on the spot, her fists balled up in the sheets, gripping them to her chest as if they were a part of her being. She couldn't move, she wouldn't move, there was someone at the door, and they wanted to come in. She couldn't.. no... what did they want!? Who was it?! Aniella stared, frozen, as the figure knocked again at the door. Aniella couldn't move.<br/><br/>When she refused to move from her refuge on the bed, the door to the room began to open, and Aniella sucked in a long, panicked breath, trying to settle herself.<i>You're okay, this is a hospital, they are going to help you, breathe, swallow, you're-- oh my... it's a... a... a man! </i>The rock quickly returned to Aniella's throat, threatening to choke her and drown her in tears that stabbed at the backs of her eyes. She only stared at the man, wide eyed, like a rabbit caught in headlights.<br/><br/><b><i>*Note; All dialogue between Buck and Aniella is spoken in Italian unless specifically mentioned otherwise.*</i></b><br/><br/><b>“Good morning, Aniella. My name is Nurse Buck, and today it’s my job to show you around the Institute,” </b><br/><br/>If she had been a different person, her jaw may have dropped slack at the man before her, instead her eyes grew a little wider at the sound of his voice, his<i>Italian </i>voice. Was she home? In Italy? Had she finally managed to find someone who would help her find her way back? Back to her father, her brothers, her friends and her sweet, lovely Dutch Warm-blood; Solomon. How long had it been since she was home? Wading through the waters in her pool and riding the bus to her school. She almost filled with hope, but the man's words echoed through her mind.<i>Nurse Buck... Job... Institute. </i><br/><br/>Her brow knitted together, as if trying to figure out the meaning behind the words. She was not home. This was a hospital- no, an institute, whatever that was. But she knew one thing, she was not home. If she were, her family would be here, not this stranger, this<i>silent</i>stranger stood before her. This creature that made no sound nor had no beating heart. Fear radiated from her being as he stared at a spot just past her, some most-interesting spot on the wall just shy of her line of sight. She didn't know what to do. Instead, she cast her eyes down to the floor, swallowed hard, and took a deep breath, attempting in vain to settle her rattled nerves.<br/><br/><b>“...In...stitute...?” </b>She croaked back in Italian, a voice that seemed so unlike her own. It had been so long since she'd spoken to anyone. The only time she heard her own voice had been when she was sobbing.<br/><br/><b>“Osmond’s Institute, your new home,” </b>He said quickly, expertly, and Nell wondered how many times he had said these very lines. There was a pause between them, Nell dared not look up to see the man's expression, and he seemed to take the silence as a means to go on,<b>“I’m going to show you to the Cafeteria, and then I’ll give you a brief tour of the rooms you’ll have access to.”</b>Still, Aniella simply stared at the man, not trusting herself or him to do anything,<b> “Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be waiting outside.” </b>And with that, the man stepped out of sight and pulled the door halfway closed behind him.<br/><br/>For a long time, Aniella did not move. She sat as still as a statue, weighing out her options. There was nowhere to go, the only exit was the door in which Nurse Buck had emerged. She need only look at the glass window to know she would not be escaping that way.<i>Who says you need to escape?</i>She asked herself, but she already knew the answer,<i>I'm in a hospital, and that means there's more people, more men! I can not handle this... can I? This nurse.. he was nice to me, he didn't attack me, defile me and call me horrible names, he didn't call me the monster that I actually am. Maybe I will receive help here... maybe. </i><br/><br/>Taking a shaky breath, she cast her eyes away, and pushed away the sheet, and climbed to her feet in search of something to cover her mutilated body.<br/><br/><i></i><center>---<br/>I do not want to be afraid<br/>I do not want to die inside<br/>Just to breath in<br/>---</center><br/><br/>Aniella was unsure of how much time had passed between Nurse Buck leaving the room, and her gently pulling the door open and silently stepping out into the brightly lit hallway. She sported Royal Purple clothing, the only clothing in which she could find that seemed to cover her as much as she would have liked. To Aniella's grave distress, there was nothing available for her to cover her disgusting face, and so the girl had bunched up her hair and wrapped it around her face like a mask. All that was visible of the female were her deep, watery emerald eyes, and her pale pink nose. Her arms were also exposed, and although Nell refused to look at them, she knew they were two slightly different shades of skin.<br/><br/>Nurse Buck stood just to the left of the doorway, waiting patiently for her, with a cool, calm demeanour which seemed frighteningly un-threatening. No matter what Nurse Buck did, he would frighten her, any man would, and any man always will. She sighed, then stepped forward, her eyes still firmly planted anywhere but his eyes, she couldn't bring herself to meet his eyes, something deep inside her forbade it. Instead, Aniella settled on his chest, and stared intently at the indent at the bottom of his throat where his left and right clavicle met.<br/><br/>She swallowed into her now-dry throat, feeling the sting of where she had been heaving who-knows-how-long before. She would have to force something down her when they arrived at this Cafeteria that Nurse Buck had mentioned. She nearly gasped with shame when her stomach audibly growled at the thought of food, and she recoiled in on herself,<b>“I'm so sorry!” </b>She gasped, reaching down with her free hand to grab at the belly, as if it would stop the hunger. How rude! Aniella wanted to dart back into her room, climb under the covers and hide for the rest of the day.<br/><br/>But she didn't. She didn't have the nerve to leave now that she was here, that would be even more insulting considering he had come out of his way to wake her and show her around. Nurse Buck must have read her internal dilemma all over her mismatched face, as when he spoke, he seemed almost amused.<br/><br/><b>""Don't worry, you are only moments away from breakfast. Follow me, please.""</b>He ushered down the hallway, and after a small nod of agreement from Aniella, began a slow walk down the hall.<br/><br/>They walked in silence, Aniella did not dare to bring her voice to light and ask him anything, even though she had plenty of questions; where was she; who was he; what was she doing here; why was this her new home; what had happened; how long had passed since... she shook her head, pushing away the memories which constantly fought their way to the forefront of her mind. Instead she focused all of her attentions of the Nurse walking only a few steps in front of her, and she stared furiously into the back of his head, as if she could crack it open and pull all of her answers from within. She could not. His shimmering brown hair stopping just above the nape of his neck seemed to occupy all of her attention, that she didn't notice him stop until she almost bowled into him.<br/><br/><i>Almost.</i>She stopped up short, and quickly scrambled backwards a few steps as she caught wind of her surroundings. She was in a doorway, staring out into an open space occupied by many other people. Many other people which were not people at all. Her eyes went wide as disks as she studied them with open shock and terror. There was a blonde, seemingly normal with an inhumane mountain of food before her which she packed into her small mouth without a care in the world for who saw her. With her, stood something out of this world. A man, although it wasn't a man, it was something part man, part beast.<i> Isn't that what I am?</i>She chastised herself, suddenly feeling horrible for judging this creature based on its appearance. Still, it was difficult to take in the sight of something quite so obviously not-human.<br/><br/>Part man, part bird, Aniella had no idea what to call him. He reminded her of a creature out of a book she once read, what had it been called now? A harpy! That's how the book had described them, if her memory served her right. She cast her attention to another seemingly-human male sat at a table, looking very unhappy, and Aniella decided there and then that he would be one to avoid. He looked angry, and an angry man was not something Aniella wanted anything to do it. Her breath hitched in her throat just thinking of interaction with him. She looked elsewhere. Her eyes found a couple sat at a table together, both looking human and unimposing, however she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do and where she was supposed to go.<br/><br/>As if reading her mind, Nurse Buck's presence appeared beside her,<b>“There are two sections, Aniella,”</b>he started tentatively, obviously well aware of her rising trepidation at entering the room,<b>“to the right are food in which I believe you would consider 'normal'; fried eggs, sausages, cereals...” </b>He paused, watching the young Italian scanning the room, lips pressed tightly together,<b>“To the left are foods in which I think may be more suited to your tastes.” </b><br/><br/>Aniella felt sick. She felt hungry, but she also felt physically sick. She knew what the Nurse meant when he mentioned her own tastes, and it roused a deep rooted hate for herself, that burned in the centre of her chest. Part of her thought it absurd that they would have what she needed to sustain herself, but then there was some other part, that she knew they would. Just from looking upon the creatures in this room, she knew they had what she needed. However, she would not be the one to admit it. She chewed the inside of her cheek before shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other.<br/><br/><b>“Th-... Thank you very much, Nurse Buck,”</b>She said in a voice so small she wasn't sure he had heard her,<b>“This is all much more than I deserve... I think if it is okay with you, I could possibly have some toast?”</b>She swallowed,<b>“And perhaps a small drink of plain water?”</b>She hated asking for anything at all, and in such a public place, there was no way Aniella would subject herself to eating the only thing she knew would truly satisfy her hunger; flesh. Bloody, warm, flesh. For now, she would just pretend she was normal, and eat normal food, and come back later, alone, to fill herself. Maybe.<br/><br/><i></i><center>---<br/>I'm tired<br/>Of feeling so numb<br/>Relief exists I find it when <br/>I am cut.<br/>---</center>"

A battle to stay awake and not return to those dreams where the charred bodies of her young lay before her. Their souls couldn't be found they couldn't come back! The screams from them trying… Their twisted bodies from them trying… The demon tried so hard to help them. The sounds of whimpering and crying before a scream rang in those sensitive cat ears. This must be a horrible dream. They were not dead! That damnable demon had not killed them! Her fists pounded against the hardwood floor with hands that pulled at her. A voice begging her to stop and promising to kill him a thousand times over.<br/><br/>With a jolt, a voice was still screaming followed with panting. Her eyes were wide and sweat covered her and the sheets she was tangled in. The room was blank but the soft coo turned her red ears down to the little bundles of blankets on her bed. With a sigh, she touched the empty blankets softly. “Mommy is sorry.” The kits within moved lightly but were fast asleep. Sighing, a kinetic barrier surrounded the blankets to keep them safe as she slowly eased herself from the bed.<br/><br/>The floor was cool beneath her feet. Her steps light as she moved to the bathroom. It took the neko no time to shower and then slip into her lilac scrubs. For a moment, she idly wondered why she was even wearing scrubs. Where were her t-shirts and shorts? Sure, her tail fit though the pants of these scrubs comfortably but why? For a moment her mind tried to process the why but the images made her groan. Her internal struggle causing her gasp and hold her head. Leaning against the wall it took a moment for the room to stop spinning before she was able to move again.<br/><br/>She came out of her room and headed down the hall to the stair way. Her nose following the scents that lingered in the air. The smell of food followed and mixed with the unknown scents. There was one she knew as she came upon the doors to the cafeteria, vampire. The other in the door, she was not sure but it did not matter. “Excuse me.” Was all she said as she moved around them without waiting for them to move. Softly swaying her tail, her ears turned to the various sounds around the room. She would merely glance around the room as she headed for the table with normal looking food.<br/><br/>Taking a plate, she loaded it up with pancakes, eggs and sausage but the lovely scent of fish caught her attention. Never could she remember such a selection. She grabbed some eel and salmon then turned to look at the place. Where would she even sit? With the brooding looking male? Or the bird guy and lady? The patch woman still was by the door, she wondered what place she would pick. Although, Alice would rather not sit by any one, less to worry about so she choose to sit with the brooding male."
20693,Twisted Redux,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-27 17:01:00,Oblivion,"There was something wrong.<br/><br/>Head spinning, Anya sat up. The blurred mess that was her room twisted further away from her, falling away from her outstretched hands. The tattoo-like markings that littered her skin glinted in the dimming light, telling her that indeed, she had a body.<br/><br/>Then why did she feel so weightless?<br/><br/>The feeling of simply floating along, alone and helpless along a pitch-black sky overtook her senses. Closing her misty eyes, Anya prayed that this would never end. One could argue that eternal solitude was the worst way to spend the remaining days of your life but to Anya, that was her sanctuary. Her one remaining thought that kept her from going insane. Little did she know, she had already crossed that boundary years back and was wading in unfamiliar territory.<br/><br/><i>Thump.</i><br/><br/>The feeling of her back landing on the floor sparked a sharp spike of pain to run up her body, ending at her throbbing temple. Momentarily, the pain spread like wildfire through the rest of her body, a dull ache that made Anya grit her teeth and stop herself from crying out. She turned her unfocused gaze up towards the ceiling, looking for sort of solace, only to be met with an ominous darkness gathering in the corners of the ceiling and spreading across the walls like a disease. That’s what it was – a disease. These abhorrent shadows were always like a disease, grabbing at whatever they could and reducing them to nothing. And Anya had been running from them from day one. A whimper rose to her throat, a panicked expression overtaking her features.<br/><br/>Today would be the day they got her.<br/><br/>Rooted to the spot and unable to move, Anya barely registered the roar of fire. It wasn’t fire of her own making – no, it was a creation of the form sitting right inside the white-hot flames. As the flames got closer and closer, Anya suddenly felt the ability to move and she immediately scrambled back, away from the figure. He was back, the one entity that wouldn’t leave her alone.<br/><br/><i>Go away.</i><br/><br/>It opened its pitch-black eyes that had not even a hint of a white sclera and smiled, the malicious grin spanning the entire width of his face.<i>“Welcome back.”</i>The raspy whisper filled her ears and a few tears escaped Anya’s eyes. As if on cue, whispers broke out from an invisible audience, not quieting even when Anya screamed “Shut up!”.<br/><br/>There was no escaping it. She vaguely registered the shadowy tendril reaching the hand that was extended behind her, wrapping itself around her wrist. The burning sensation started immediately, snatching a scream from Anya’s throat. She ripped her arm away and scooted towards the center of the room, away from the shadows and closer to the fire. She had no choice – the fire burned its way closer and closer, heating her skin to a rather uncomfortable degree every second.<br/><br/><i>“Bad choice.”</i>The demon announced, his deep laugh drowning out the whispers.<i>“Let the games begin.”</i>Anya found herself unable to move again and, seated on the scorching hot floor of the room, could only watch as the flames swallowed her feet. And then the screams began.<hr/>As she stood outside the door of her assigned patient’s room, Farrah dutifully ignored the screams from within. This particular ward was fairly soundproof yet the Dreamweaver’s voice continuously broke through and echoed down the hallway. She flipped through the patient’s file, reading through it as carefully as Buck had requested. As her eyes landed on the last line, she shook her head and sunk her hand into her scrubs’ pocket where two syringes of Anya’s medication lay.<br/><br/><i>Do not under ANY circumstances look this patient in the eye.</i>The last line repeated itself in her mind as she swiped her key card into the slot and the door automatically opened. Farrah slowly opened the door, intent on not disturbing the non-Earth patient as the file had specified and frankly, she didn’t feel like fighting a fire. Closing the door behind her, Farrah stood quietly by the door and watched the humanoid Dreamweaver writhe in agony.<br/><br/>Several minutes later, as the patient abruptly sat up, eyes wide and brimming with tears, Farrah barely flinched. She approached the patient, already impatient with having waited for so long. “Hanneli, I’m your nurse, Farrah.” She said in a soft voice. She didn’t reach out to touch the girl and stayed out of the girl’s immediate line of sight just in case she freaked out. “How are you feeling this morning?”<br/><br/>It took several long seconds for the girl to respond. She didn’t move from her position on her bed, eyes fixated on the same spot on the far wall. “There’s someone there.” Ignoring the nurse, Anya continued to stare at the wall. Her voice was light and cheerful, as if pointing out a flaw on a toddler’s artwork. She spoke in a mix of her native Dreamweaver language and English, somewhat confused between the two and inserting random Dreamweaver words among her sentences.<br/><br/>Farrah turned and scrutinized the area where Anya was pointing at, her navy-blue eyes scanning the wall repeatedly but seeing no-one there. The possibility of a patient with the capability to render themselves invisible was impossible at Osmond’s so the only plausible explanation was that Anya was hallucination. “There’s no one there, dear.” Farrah said as gently as she could manage.<br/><br/>“No, there’s someone there. He’s sitting right there. Can’t you see him? He’s looking at you like you’re his next meal.” Anya answered, her voice drifting away dreamily, clearly disregarding Farrah’s words. The nurse frowned and walked around the bed to face the Dreamweaver. Anya had morphed into something in-between Dreamweaver and human somewhere in the middle of her nightmare episode, creating a weird mix of feathers and glowing markings. The blonde nurse bent down slightly to be on eye-level with Anya and took her face in for the first time. It was fairly human, with the same markings taking up a side of her face. She could’ve been considered some kind of unearthly beauty yet her weird words overpowered everything else.<br/><br/>“The room is empty save for us. Are you sure you can see?” Farrah asked, looking into Anya’s cloudy eyes. The girl seemed blind to the entire world, piquing Farrah’s interest. Her psychic block could ward off nearly every mental attack so she took the risk and studies Anya’s strange eyes.<br/><br/>As if she’d flipped a switch, Anya turned towards Farrah and locked eyes with the nurse. At first, Farrah felt no different, only slightly uncomfortable at the intensity of Anya’s stare. The girl really was crazy, she decided. Then the unthinkable happened. Her vision blurred, slowly twisting away from the shape-shifter until all Farrah could see was a deep black, only the faintest colors filtering through. And even then, that aspect was rapidly being taken away from her.<br/><br/>“…I don’t know. Can<i>you</i>see?” Anya’s voice broke through the tense silence, sickly sweet but Farrah could detect a hint of mocking underneath. She frowned and glared at the girl as her vision returned, blocking the girl’s mental attack. Anya smiled in response and turned back towards the wall. “He says hi. Do you want to say hi?”<br/><br/>In response, Farrah stabbed the syringe into Anya’s arm, reducing the girl to a slightly sluggish mess. Another stab followed from the other syringe and she heard Anya mumble something about whether she always went around stabbing people. Anya’s eyes immediately unfocused further as the medication worked its magic, sedating her just enough to bring her back down to reality and making her eyes focus a bit more. Once she was satisfied the Dreamweaver was fairly normal by Osmond’s standards, she spoke, “Enough. Get dressed so we can go down to the cafeteria.” Farrah tossed the girl a set of royal purple scrubs and turned towards the door, waiting to go down to the ground floor. The faint rustle of material behind her told her that Anya was nearly done changing and she swiped the keycard through the slot, opening the door once more. The nurse turned and motioned for Anya to follow her.<br/><br/>One uncomfortable ride later, Farrah and Anya made their way to the cafeteria. Once at the double doors, Farrah waved Anya in and motioned towards the counter of food. “Go eat and socialize. No doubt it’ll do you some good.”<br/><br/>Anya smiled in response and her hand shot out to grip Farrah’s. Farrah momentarily tried to yank her hand away, unsure of what the patient was doing. Did she have some unmentioned ability? However, it all proved to be needless concerns as Anya vigorously shook her hand, dragging her entire arm up and down. “Thank you, nurse. The man says hello by the way. He thinks you’re pretty.” With that, Anya skipped into the cafeteria, grabbing a tray along the way.<br/><br/>The man behind the counter recognized her instantly despite her human appearance and handed her a small plate of glowing blue biscuits. Anya thanked him with smile and loaded the rest of her tray with human food. Human food did little for her different internal organs but it was tasty nonetheless, and the stack of pancakes on her plate grew. The blue biscuits, on the other hand, tasted like one variety of berries that grew on her homeworld, supplying her with the necessary nutrients that this world lacked.<br/><br/>She turned and, tray in hand, approached the first ground of people she saw. A sullen young man and a girl. “Kitty!” Anya called out to herself, her voice fairly quiet despite the childish excitement in her voice. She skipped over to the table, and set her tray down. Without even bothering with introductions, she addressed the cat-lady. “Can I pull your tail? It’s so pretty!” She asked dreamily, offering the cat-lady a smile. Not waiting for an answer, she spoke again. “My name’s Anya.” It took considerable effort to speak in full English, as the other patients obviously weren’t equipped with a translator as Farrah had. Her words came out slightly slurred, giving away the fact that English wasn’t her native language. Nevertheless, it got the point across which was enough for Anya."
20694,Twisted Redux,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-28 00:19:00,Pumirya,"Simone slowly opened her eyes, blinking the last bits of sleep from them as she sat up in herbed, the covers which had been pulled up to around her neck falling to her waist, leaving the petite female’s upper body with its trim lines and small, but still attractive breasts exposed to the cool air. It was early, just how early, Simone was not sure, but the ever so faint light coming in through the window told her it must be dawn, or close. But there were other questions, questions that drew Simone’s attention. The biggest of these questions were… where was she? The last memory Simone had been of trying to flee The Solomon Facility; then all had gone black. She should have died there.. but no/// She was alive.<br/><br/>They had shipped her some place new, those bastards… Why? Simone hissed softly as she pushed the covers roughly aside and stood. The floor was cold to the touch, Simone’s feet being bare, but she did not care. Looking slowly around the room, Simone’s carmine coloured eyes took in the barred window to her right, the wooden, white painted writing desk with its spindle backed chair, and to its left the tall wardrobe against the wall opposite the end of her single, wrought iron frame bed, and to the left of the wardrobe, a door leading into another room. The floor, she noted, was made of stone, and was a bland slate grey colour, as was the ceiling.<br/><br/>Padding forward, Simone approached the wardrobe and pulled the double doors open. There, inside, hung a set of pink scrubs, along with slippers for her feet. The drawers in the wardrobe held fresh bra and panty sets, and nothing else, save for a cheap, dated looking plastic handled brush and comb. Closing the wardrobe doors, Simone walked slowly to the open door and looked inside. A tiny bathroom with a sink, toilet and walk in shower greeted her. A plain white towel and washcloth hung on a towel rack bolted into the wall to the right of the toilet, across from the shower. Standing in the bathroom doorway, Simone pondered what she should do next, aside from fighting the growing urge to feed…<br/><br/>She was angry, hungry, and she needed a shower. Simone turned and stared icily at the heavy steel door to her right as she left the tiny bathroom and returned to the main room. She didn’t test it, there was no need. Unless her new overeaters were bloody fools, that door was more then strong enough to hold her. No; she would wait, wait for a chance, perhapse one would come later. They weren’t going to keep her in here forever, and not send someone around to pester her in some manner, to go on about something, and poke her with needles. Simone’s mouth became a hard line at this, and a shiver ran through her small frame. She would kill them first before she allowed anyone to stick any needles in her again.<br/><br/>It took a bit of doing, but Simone gathered herself eventually and optd to take that bloody shower. Oh, the steaming hot water did feel rather good as it flowed down over her head and body. Hell; they even hd given her a nice scented body wash and shampoo, lilac it was, but that didn’t mean much, did it? No, it just meant this prison was slightly nicer then the last she had been in. It only meant she was being treated a degree better, but they would still see her as nothing more then a tool, a broken tool, one meant to be prodded and poked and cast aside when her uses were up.<br/><br/>No, she had to escape this place, wherever it was. She had to go find the answers. She had to seek out the truth. Trying to think about this only made Simone’s head pound and she collapsed against te wall near the exit door, both hands gripping her head rightly, tiny, pointed fingernails digging into her scalp as she gasped for breath. Perhaps this was, no it was the reason that Simone did not take note of Tony’s entrance. Tony, wasting no time, jammed a needle into Simone’s left arm, drawing a angry growl from the petite vampire moments before another needle was jammed into her arm in almost the same place. God dammit all, Simone seethed, she was going to kill this bloody idiot… but.<br/><br/>She was feeling suddenly weaker and she couldn’t shift. “. We’re going to take a little stroll now,” Tony chuckled softy as he pulled Simone roughly to her feet. “I bet you’re wondering why you can’t shift, why you feel weak, and just so mellow, yes?” A heated glare from Simone made the nurse laugh again as he pulled the door open and pushed, pulled Simone out into the empty hallway. “You were given a relaxing agent, along with something to inhibit that nasty little shifting of yours,” Tony explained as he ushered Simone through the halls of St Osmond’s until they came to the cafeteria. ‘Oh, I almost forgot, you asked where you were, didn’t you. Welcome to St Osmond’s Institute for the mentally insane.”<br/><br/>Simone was pushed roughly into a chair and left alone, after Tony had, in a bored and disinterested way, explained the cafeteria and pointed out the sealed packets containing lycan blood. Simone stared at the nurse until he had taken his leave of the room; then turned her attention back inward. There were many others in the room, some she knew what they were, some she did not. Standing, Simone shouldered her way through those standing and made her way to the food serving area. Grabbing up a packet of blood, that looked a bit like a Sunkist packet, Simone buried her fangs in it, ignoring the straw provided. Her eyes slide closed briefly as the blood ran coolly down her throat. Gods it tasted good, so good."

A couple of the other patients trickled in, but they didn’t pay any more attention to the mutant than she did to them. Her focus was fluffy eggs and crunchy bacon, hot coffee and cool, crisp melon. Whatever else you said about the Institute, you had to admit that the food was first-rate. It was almost peaceful just then: the only sounds were from a quiet conversation three tables over, distant and metallic din echoing from the kitchen, and the rustle of Darlene’s Cosmo magazine as she periodically turned a page.<br/><br/>The young telekinetic wanted to enjoy her moment of numb contentment… but as was usually the case at Osmond’s Institute, some<i>body</i>happened. One of the Terrible Triplets (Creepy Goatee, to be exact.) brought in a guy Cadie had never seen before, and deposited him roughly at a table near the center of the room. The guy didn’t<i>do</i>anything exceptional. In fact, he just stared at the table. She almost dismissed his presence, almost let her one good eye fall back to her plate, but she realized something. His hair… his hair was<i>moving.</i><br/><br/>It wasn’t moving as if he’d sat under an air vent, either. It was moving as if the young man was underwater, in a perfectly still pool. It just sort of<i>floated</i>. The girl blinked sleepily, and then it occurred to her that maybe this was just a side effect from the drugs they’d given her not-so-long ago. She ate a spoonful of the honeyed oatmeal, then turned to Jax.<br/><br/>“Is it just me,” she murmured, and licked her lips, “or is that guy’s hair moving?”<br/><br/>Cadie tilted her chin in the direction of the fellow she was referring to.<br/><br/>Jax twisted his head in that odd, avian way of his, peering at the stranger for a long moment. Then he looked at the table, shook himself a little, and turned back to Cadie.<br/><br/>“Moving.”<br/><br/>The girl nodded, and though Jax always spoke too loudly for her tastes, the trippy-haired guy in question didn’t seem to notice. He was still just staring at the table. Cadie concluded that he probably wasn’t the human he’d appeared to be at first glance. She tucked in to the oatmeal again, diverting periodically to the eggs, sausage and bacon. Thanks to her extra drugs, she bit her fingers twice.<br/><br/><i><b>This</b> is what makes you a monster, Cadence,</i>she thought rather too cheerfully to herself.<br/><br/>Jax nudged her slipper under the table with one of his sharp, black claws. She jumped a little; although it was more like flinching from the unexpected contact, Cadie rationalized it into surprise. She looked up, and he just blinked at her. Her only functioning eye slid sideways, her head following, as she scanned the room for whatever it was her companion was trying to show her. It must have been the girl with Nurse Buck, who had her hair pulled forward instead of backward and ponytailed over her nose. Whatever facial features she was hiding with her mahogany hair, Cadie figured it must have been pretty gross… because her arms were crisscrossed with fresh-looking wounds, roughly stitched together and still a little bloody. The mutant frowned. She was willing to bet that hurt… a lot. And there was something about the other young woman that made Cadence feel better immediately: she was almost as skinny as the mutant herself.<br/><br/><i>Almost.</i><br/><br/>Cadence tried again to return to her meal. Oatmeal, gone. Eggs, gone. Bacon, gone. Sausage, gone. Bagel, gone. Coffee, gone. Milk, gone. Slowly, the mutant became aware that Jax had stopped eating and was sitting with his shoulders hunched forward, head moving back and forth. She set her fork down and took a few deep breaths, steeling herself for what came next.<br/><br/>The girl gingerly placed her slender fingers across the back of Jax’s hand, where it lay splayed on the table. The warmth of his skin under her digits was almost enough to make her draw back instantly. It was like holding her hand in a fire. Even though Jax wasn’t human, it felt an<i>awful</i>lot like human contact. She took another deep breath as his dark head stopped moving, one black eye fixed on her.<br/><br/>“What is it, Jax?” she asked very quietly, trying not to sound as if she was asking Lassie if Timmy fell into the well. Of course, she licked her lips.<br/><br/>“Watching. Me,” the raven croaked in reply. He tried to be quiet about it, which made his voice even stranger and more raspy.<br/><br/>“It’s okay,” Cadie soothed, forcing herself to<i>rub</i>the back of his hand gently, even though it kind of made her feel nauseous. The physical contact helped him keep a connection with reality, she knew from experience, so she tried not to think about it and focused on what she was saying.<br/><br/>“They’re<i>new</i>,” she said in hushed tones. “And they’ve never seen anyone like you before. I stared at you too, remember?” She licked her lips several times, feverishly. The prolonged physical contact was starting to stress her out.<br/><br/>Jax looked at her for a long moment, and she could clearly see in her own mind exactly what he was remembering. She smiled, thinly, and nodded.<br/><br/>“So, relax. They’re just jealous of your wings,” the girl whispered.<br/><br/>Then Jax did something Cadie didn’t expect. He turned his hand over, clutched her fingers in his, and squeezed them gently. The feathers at the base of his neck puffed out a little again in the Corvinian equivalent of a smile.<br/><br/>Such a simple gesture, such a small connection that normal people were able to have on an everyday basis. It said thank you for being here, thank you for pulling me back from the edge. Someone else could have shrugged it off, squeezed back, and smiled in return. Cadence was not that someone. Her stomach dropped and every muscle in her body tensed. She couldn’t force herself to draw in a breath. And then she heard a sound… a horrible, despicable sound…<br/><br/>…the sound of her coffee cup starting to rattle against its saucer.<br/><br/>Thankfully, blessedly, Jax seemed to sense that this was too much for Cadie, and let her go. As soon as he did, the weight on her chest lifted. She inhaled deeply through her nose and exhaled through her mouth several times. The coffee cup had stopped shaking, but now her hands were doing it instead. Her appetite was completely gone, which was really bad. She’d been down to eighty-eight pounds when they’d weighed her two days ago, and the nutritional nurse had said (in a rather threatening manner) that if Cadie got down to eighty-five she’d have to have a feeding tube put directly in her stomach so they could pump nutrition into her overnight while she slept.<br/><br/>She shuddered involuntarily, and reached for the double-chocolate muffin. Three bites in, the sound of a food tray slamming down made her look up again.<br/><br/>The source of the sound was a man, a man she hadn’t noticed walking in. How she’d missed him, she didn’t know: a combination of the painkillers and hunger, she supposed. He was tall, well-built but a little thin, with blonde hair long enough to brush his shoulders and a rough shadow of stubble on his square jaw.<br/><br/><i>Oh no! Why today of all the-</i><br/><br/>Cadence didn’t have time to finish the thought before the vision in her one good eye dimmed… and then abandoned her completely.<br/><br/>“Son of a bitch!” she cursed, loudly enough to startle Jax, and slammed her hand down on the table.<br/><br/>“What. RRRAAAnn?” the raven man squawked in alarm.<br/><br/>“Blind. You see the big blonde guy at my…” she had to think for a moment, “at my two o’clock?”<br/><br/>Cadie was pretty sure Jax nodded, but she couldn’t see. “Knock once for no, twice for yes.”<br/><br/>Immediately, he rapped twice on the table.<br/><br/>“Good. Tell me when he leaves.”<br/><br/>Again, two taps.<br/><br/>“And… could you help me find my muffin?” she asked, in her usual whisper, licking her lips again.<br/><br/><center> ---»«---<br/><br/>» <span class=""bb-u"">Nurse Buck</span> «<br/><br/>Welcome to the jungle,<br/>It gets worse here every day!<br/>You learn to live like an animal<br/>In the jungle where we play!<br/><br/>---»«---</center><br/><br/><b>“Th-...

I think if it is okay with you, I could possibly have some toast? And perhaps a small drink of plain water?”</b><br/><br/>The patchwork young lady had come along rather quietly and willingly, despite her obvious terror. She’d almost balked at the sight of the males in the cafeteria: you didn’t have to be a genius to read her eyes and her body language. Buck genuinely felt a little bad for the girl: maybe he’d missed it in the file, but he didn’t realize she had a compulsion to cover her face. Of course, it made sense, considering.<br/><br/>But when she asked for food, Buck couldn’t help wondering how she would eat with her hair fixed like that. The stitches on her bare arms were oozing blood that didn’t even smell like blood, and peeking out from behind her hair she was saying that she didn’t deserve even water and bread. Where had she been before this? The vampire wished he’d had more time to read the files.<br/><br/>“If you would like people food, Aniella,” he replied calmly, “I would suggest a blueberry scone and some hot coffee or tea. But if you would prefer something else…”<br/><br/>The vampire stepped away from the young woman and picked a coffee mug up off the steam line. Then he moved to the punch bowl he knew would be there. It was always there on New Patient days, even when there were no new vampires. By now, Buck was certain that the punch bowl was just for him sometimes. He was also certain that it was completely clean, completely real, somehow warm, actual human blood. The blood was ladled into his cup without a single drop being spilled.<br/><br/>“…I suggest you go ahead and get it. You’re not the only one here who eats from the carnivore line.”<br/><br/>Then he paused, and his lips twitched in what might have been a ghost of a smile. Of course, Aniella probably wouldn’t see this because she didn’t seem to be able to look any higher than his chest. He raised the glass to his lips, and drained it halfway. He really didn’t care how Morgan came by all that human blood. It was<i>good.</i>Buck swallowed, repressing the natural shiver, licked his lips clean -which gave a little flash of fang, if she was looking- and then moved to get a tray for the girl.<br/><br/>“Tell you what, I’ll fix you a tray with a few different choices, and you can eat what you want.”<br/><br/>As if on cue, to illustrate his point, a girl Buck assumed to be Simone sauntered over to the inhuman selection, picked up a bag of lycan blood, and bit straight down into it.<br/><br/>Buck would prepare Aniella a tray containing her water and toast, the offered blueberry scone and coffee with sugar and creamer packets… and a second coffee cup of warm blood, and what looked to be a completely raw ham steak.<br/><br/>If nothing else happened, he’d lead her to a table near a corner of the room, and seat her where she could see the door.<br/><br/><center> ---»«---<br/><br/>If you got a hunger for what you see,<br/>…You'll take it eventually.<br/><br/>---»«---</center>"

Dante seemed to shovel down most of his abundance of food within moments though as the bare minimum of his hunger was satiated his vigor slowed; the prongs of his fork idly swirling and dragging streams of melted butter through his syrup river. From all appearances Dante seemed to be staring at his plate though his vision was barely focused as he was lost in his own thoughts.<br/><br/><i>What is taking Emilia so long to get back? Had she gotten lost? Is she too afraid of all these strangers? I wouldn't blame her if it were the large turkey....</i>The thoughts raced through his head until that shrill, chilling voices decided to break back in.<br/><br/><i><b>'Poor little Dante.... When will you accept she doesn't want to hang around some nut job...'</b></i>The insult jabbed into his heart and made him cringe.<i>'I am not insane... No. This place is a mistake! I might be dangerous! But not insane! No, no! That wouldn't make sense! I know I am sane! Right? Of course...'</i><br/><br/><i><b>'Right, right... Says the man arguing with himself?'</b></i><br/><br/><i>'I am not arguing with myself! I am arguing with you! Don't play with my mind!'</i><br/><br/><i><b>'Oh Dante... I am you. Can't you see. Open your eyes boy. You really want to believe I am some evil old man bound to your soul... Tsk tsk... A sane man would have figured it out by now.'</b></i><br/><br/>""Zitto, verme!"" Dante cried out in a hard tone in italian which roughly translates to shut up maggot; his out burst warping and distorting the metal fork in his hand into a tangled mess of metal. He calmed seeing as he saw his nurse reach for something on his belt. He dropped the mangled piece of metal and raised his hands passively to show he had calmed.<i>'I am nothing like you....'</i>he retorted within his thoughts. The voice lowly cackling as he disappeared back within his mind awaiting his next chance to chink at Dante's psyche.<br/><br/>Broken out of his train of thought he took a look around and seemed to gained more of an audience. Not only that but a girl had been sitting in front of him and he hadn't even noticed until this very moment. He felt nervous, a rare occurrence for the overly out going gentlemen. He didn't want to be the one person yelling at himself at the mental institute but I guess you gotta play the cards you're dealt.<br/><br/>""My apologies for the outburst, my dear."" Dante spoke charming in a warm, melodic tone with the faintest hint of an accent to the girl sat at his table and huddled within the shadows. ""You seem a tad discomforted. Perhaps a nice<i>retreat</i>would ease your worries."" He said as he twirled his fingers and suddenly a simple playing card appeared between his index and middle finger. He tossed the playing card across the table and it slid to a stop before her. Though there was something strange about the card, it was not a normal card but a moving picture showing the setting sun over a warm beach.<br/><br/>If the girl just so happened to look at the card she would feel she was on a tropical island, hell she would feel as if she were there the entire time. Toes dug into the warm sand as she relaxed under the shade of a palm tree. The wave cresting and crashing quietly as the delicate breeze danced through the air. The rays of light a beautiful display of oranges and yellows as they stretched out high into the sky as if to grasp onto the heavens. Though all this would vanish as soon as she saw the polar bear resting against a palm tree licking a snow cone, I believe the flavor is blue berry but I doubt that matters since I don't think he would share. Once the illusion would vanish the girl would be back at the cafeteria table staring at a six of diamond.<br/><br/>Back in reality Dante began to look over the room at the new attendees. He was trying his best to balance pieces of pancake on his knife and get it to his mouth before it slipped off; his fork to mangle to use. Dante scanned over each face, doing his best to commit them to memory. Though each face he looked over he could feel the voice, it did not speak though Dante felt his hunger as if it were his own. His mind drifted into thoughts of how tasty one of their livers might be. The thought of the strong taste of blood left in his mouth made his salivary glands run wild. Suddenly he shook his head as if to rid the thoughts away. He quickly pushed himself up to his feet and quickly jogged out of the room. ""I don't need a guide!"" he demanded as he noticed his nurse start to follow.<br/><br/>As Dante journeyed down the hall he sighed, no longer in sight of any of those meals.... No! people! They are people! He clenched his jaw tight. The damned voice needed not a word to plague his mind. Through his journeying down several halls he finally found the small courtyard. He walked out, peering around to make sure he was alone. He went to a bench, flopping onto his rump lazily. Out of thin air he created a cigarette, not nearly as potent as real tobacco but it would do the trick. He placed an end between his lips and with a flick of his fingers the other end was in embers. He took a hard drag, the hot smoke nearly burning his throat though he savored the sensation. He exhaled slowly, the plume of smoke cultivating before dissipating in the breeze."

Of course, she knew there were multiple things wrong with her. For one, she would not be here if she were okay, if she were normal and could eat and do things like everybody else. No... Nell knew she was about as far as normal as a person could get. Well, maybe not as far as the strange bird man.<br/><br/><b>“If you would like people food, Aniella,”</b>he replied calmly, but again, Aniella picked up something rehearsed in the words he said,<b> “I would suggest a blueberry scone and some hot coffee or tea. But if you would prefer something else…” </b><br/><br/>An overwhelming sense of abandonment overcame the Ragdoll as the Nurse stepped away from the doorway and picked up a mug. Her body stiffened as if hyper-aware of all the things happening in the room around her. The people who had been previously sitting around tables, innocently eating and drinking, now seemed like ominous monsters who at any given moment could jump up and confront her, and there would be nothing she could do about it. The thought would have made her start sweating if her body would have allowed it to.<br/><br/>Swallowing hard, not her fear, she could never manage to swallow that, Nell forced her attention back to the Nurse who was now far too far away from her to feel any type of comfort. Not that she was ever going to be at all comfortable around him, he was a man, and she knew all too well the strength of men. The brutality and cruelty of men. This nurse was no different, the only thing that offered her an ounce of comfort was the fact that he was an authoritative figure, and if anything were to happen to her, she would likely have to rely on him to help. Currently, he held a mug in one hand, and a ladle of thick, crimson liquid in the other. It was with sick realization that she knew it was blood. She couldn't smell it, but her body seemed to react to the sight of the blood, she dropped her eyes as the Nurse spoke once again.<br/><br/><b>“…I suggest you go ahead and get it. You’re not the only one here who eats from the carnivore line.”</b><br/><br/>The carnivore line, Aniella thought with a hint of humour to it, most people in the world are carnivores. A carnivore is someone who eats chicken, pork, beef and other normal meats.<i> I am not normal, I am something beyond carnivore. Having the need for human flesh in the bit of my being doesn't make me a carnivore, it makes me an abomination of nature! </i><br/><br/>She watched the Nurses wrist with wide eyes as he lifted the cup to his lips and took a drink, nearly draining the cup. Nell's stomach growled loudly, and again she wrapped her free hand around her waist, her body hot with shame of her body's needs. She felt sick, but she knew she felt sick because she was starving, and she felt even worse because of what she was starving for.<br/><br/><b>“Tell you what, I’ll fix you a tray with a few different choices, and you can eat what you want.”</b><br/><br/>The thought of having all different variations of meat and other foods piled up in front of her both horrified her and relieved her. Horrified her due to the fact that she would have all of this food in front of her, and looking the way she did, people would think she was disgusting;<i>which I am, but I would rather people didn't think that more than they already do! </i>Then again, she was relieved because she knew she needed the food, and if her Nurse was going to choose her food, at least she didn't have to be the one to choose it.<br/><br/>He turned his head, and she followed his gaze, towards a young woman with stark white hair and dark mahogany eyes, in her hands was what Nell knew to be a blood bag. She couldn't hold in the shocked gasp that escaped her lips at the sight of the other female biting down onto the bag and draining the thick contents into her mouth. The sight of it, although making Aniella's stomach churn, also started to make her mouth water.<br/><br/>As if oblivious to her inner turmoil, Nurse Buck walked off with the tray and began to put various things on it. Coffee, toast, water and a muffin... then he walked over to the other steam line, and picked up a large, bloody ham steak and laid it out on a plate next to her muffin and finished it off with a hot cup of blood. He then made his way over to a table tucked away in the corner and placed the tray down. Aniella, taking a deep, shaky breath, forced one foot in front of the other, following Nurse Buck into the cafeteria.<br/><br/>She took the least populated route over to him, keeping at least five feet between herself and the next person. Her trembling body eventually found the nurse and slowly the Ragdoll eased herself into one of the chairs and stared blankly down at the plate in front of her. The contents of the tray made her stomach roll, but regardless, she took a breath and turned her eyes to the chest of the male Nurse,<b> “Thank you very much for this selection, Nurse Buck, this is so much more than I need, you have been much too kind.” </b><br/><br/>She cast her eyes around the room, her eyes falling on one of the most beautiful females she had ever seen, and the sight of her filled Aniella with a deep sorrow. Once, she had been beautiful, with fair, caramel skin and silky hair. She studied the female with a sad longing. She was similar to how Aniella used to look, however this girls hair was a long, fluffy, wavy dark black, maybe even blue... she couldn't tell from the distance, and where Nell's eyes were dark chocolate, this girls eyes were misty blue-no... gray? Silver? Nell wondered for a moment if the woman was blind. That would be nice, she thought grimly, to have a blind friend. At least then she wouldn't be able to see how disgustingly ugly she was."

She had never had patience for magic tricks, not when she knew what the taste of real magic felt like. The one that the nurse called Dante was clearly no half-bit hack, but it was apparent that he could not see the truth of her. There was time yet before the moon found reason to show her full face, and Sasha's skin tingled every time she thought of it. Three quarters waxing was enough to give her a heady rush of power, even though she was not at her full strength, and it made her feel... glorious.<br/><br/>She refused to look at the card, fixing her coldest stare on him instead. Hateful glaring was her favourite way of observing people, it made them uncomfortable and showed how they were likely to respond to a real attack. Not that Dante was even looking at her. She was looking at him alright, with his sun spun hair and forest green eyes. He had clever hands, and Sasha had a penchant for clever hands, especially when they were combined with clever men. There was a lot she could see that she liked but by the time she had made up her mind about him he was gone, escaping into the halls of the wretched place. She filed his face and name away for future reference, because she would always need a way to fill the spaces that itch. Not that she knew what the asylums policy on fraternisation would be.<br/><br/>Sasha didn't want a relationship, she had never wanted a relationship. Even though she had been in several.<br/><br/>There had been Vanya, her very first boyfriend, who had been twenty-five to her seventeen. He had been the first person to make her feel like a real woman who could do real things. He had been the first person to show her how much fun she could have with her clothes off... but ultimately he had also been the first person to dump her because he wanted someone less... opinionated was the word that he used.<br/><br/>After Vanya had been Jonas Coleman, a very nice British boy who was just too nice for her. He didn't like the way that she bit him during sex, and she didn't like the way that he tried to keep control of her. Their relationship had not fallen apart nearly so much as it had imploded. Every man after that had been one of the same until she had given up on them altogether.<br/><br/>There were only so many bus depots she could trash with magic before someone noticed that the property damage coincided with her break-ups. And because of Vanya almost half of her home town knew that Sasha had lost her virginity in the local bus depot.<br/><br/>She did not let her mind get tangled up in the past, instead she lay one hand on the card that Dante had left behind and ignited it with her mind, the blue flame running along the palm of her hand with a gentle warmth but incinerating the piece of cardboard to nothing more than ash. The thought that she should have looked to see if any of the nurses were watching had occurred to her, but Sasha was far too caught up in the rush to care."

Among the many patients she noted, some, well most with only a passing glance, was a red headed female with orange eyes, and the ears and tail of a cat. Was she a created creature as well, Simone mused as her eyes traveled quickly up and down the girl’s form; then for a moment, Simone’s mind lingered on the other female’s body, before it moved on, assessing the cat-girl as a threat or not, as Simone was want to do with everyone she encountered, such was programmed into her from the first moment of her creation.<br/><br/>The cat-girl sure liked to eat a lot, Simone noticed, watched the female pile pancakes, eggs, sausage, and other foods on her plate. Simone had eaten all those things before, even savoured the sweet taste of maple syrup over fluffy pancakes, salt and pepper on eggs over easy, the hint of hickory flavour in some sausage and the crisp taste of bacon. Thanks to her creators, Simone was not nourished by normal foods, and had only eaten them on rare occasions, most of which had occurred during her time away from The Solomon Facility. Simone thought briefly of helping herself to some of the ‘normal’ food, but her attention was diverted by a sudden, close sound…<br/><br/>Simone turned her head at the sound of a slight gasp catching in a throat nearby. Her gaze turned to the source of the gasp, a small female with dark, mahogany coloured hair falling down over her back… But that, neither her eye colour was what held the attention of Simone.. No, it was the other female’s body, crisscrossed with old and new looking wounds, some of which looked to be oozing blood. The corner of Simone’s thin pink lips curled upwards in a brief smirk as she watched the girl move away. “Weak,” Simone muttered to herself as she turned away. How could such a girl, with a body such as hers, be so revolted by seeing someone drinking blood?<br/><br/>Did it matter? Simone shook her head ‘no’ as she turned to leave. As long as the girl didn’t get in her way, it didn’t matter. The girl wasn’t a werewolf, and she wasn’t a doctor, so she wasn’t a threat one way or the other; or was she? Simone shrugged her shoulders slightly as she began to move back across the cafeteria, weaving through the table(s) and past other patient(s) as she made her way toward the door. Passing a random table, Simone heard one of the patients sitting at it muttering to herself about a muffin. Glancing to the table, Simone blinked once as her carmine coloured eyes fell on a large male who looked like some bird, a raven to be precise…<br/><br/>But it hadn’t been he whom had mumbled about the muffin, it was the female sitting next to him. “The bloody muffin is right in front of you,” Simone replied, fixing her carmine coloured eyes on the other woman, taking in her gaunt form, her white shoulder length hair and pale green eyes. “You should help your friend more… if she is your friend,” Simone added, turning her head slightly to rest her eyes on the raven-man. He was tall, Simone noted, with a well muscled frame. He might, Simone mused silently, be dangerous, if they were to fight, “Friends,” Simone repeated, lapsing into silence for a few moments, before resuming her trek across the room…<br/><br/>She had never had any friends, Simone reflected upon this as she approached the cafeteria doors, and pushing them open, stepped out into the empty hallway. She had either had teammates, on rare occasions, or been alone, until her capture, and even then, they hadn’t been her friends, had they? Weren’t everyone trying to use her for some means? They would have disposed of her too, when they no longer had need of her, yes? Simone stopped, placing her right hand against the bear wall as a sudden, fierce white hot pain shot through her head, causing Simone’s petite frame to tremble, violently and almost bringing the gasping woman to her knees…<br/><br/>Mercifully the sudden onslaught was brief, and after a short time, the pain subsided to a dull ache, and then vanished completely. Simone pushed herself away from the wall… the place where her hand had rested now showing several small marks where Simone’s claws had embedded themselves in the wall as she had struggled, in the midst of her migraine, Simone’s body starting to shift forms. Taking a long, deep breath, Simone resumed walking, not going in any certain direction now, wandering down one long, and empty hallway after another, until she came to a random door, and on impulse, pushed it open to find herself facing a small courtyard…<br/><br/>There were tress and grass and even a few low stone benches in the courtyard, none looking their best, at least to Simone’s eyes. On one of the benches a male was lounging, smoking a cigarette, the wind gently ruffling his locks of shoulder length, golden blonde hair. Simone paused in the open doorway; then stepped forward, letting the heavy door swing shut behind her, she wanted to be outside; Simone mused silently, as the man glanced her way, his attention drawn to her by the sound of the door closing after her. Simone surveyed the male quietly, assessing him as a potential threat or not, as her carmine coloured eyes roved over his tall, athletic frame. ”Hello,” Simone finally said, ending the silence which had fallen over the courtyard again.,,"

He simply didn't feel like eating. Deep thought tends to knock down on his appetite. The people across from him were omitting an odd feeling. Usually, Rak could put a word to the emotion, but this time he couldn't do it easily..<i>Hm. I'll go with ambivalence.</i>After pondering this for a few moments, Rak realized his shadow wasn't crossing theirs.<i>Oh? Am I just seeing this in their body language then? Maybe I am starting to be like a normal person</i>Rak looked down at his writhing, dark shadow.<i> As if.</i><br/><br/>Across from him sat an odd group. First, there was the cat-human<i>Don't people call them nekos? Never thought I'd actually see one. I guess not everything starts from a creepy guy's fetish.</i>. Also across from him sat another strange girl. Clearly the more excited of the two, she hopped from one place to another. Even Rak couldn't help but give her an odd look.<br/><br/>""Hey, Anya. I'm Rak. It's a pleasure to meet you."" He gave what he thought looked like a genuine smile, and offered a hand to shake. Although usually her type wasn't the kind of people he liked to affiliate with, he thought he could feel an air of strength disguised by her immature demeanor. The cat, on the other hand, he had no idea.<i>I'll play it cool and nice until I know more. Who knows, she may turn out to be stronger than I expected.</i><br/><br/>Suddenly, Rak felt a sudden wave of fear. He felt trapped all the sudden. Rak shivered for a moment, trying to clear his thoughts. Claustrophobia has never been an issue with him.<i>Maybe the institute is taking a toll on me.</i>Sweat slid down the side of his face, blazing a path for more to follow, and so they did. In a last moment attempt to get himself back into focus, he quickly created a small shadow spike from his thumb of his non-extended hand, pricking his palm, drawing a blood-like substance, but black. His mind cleared, the pain pulling him back into focus.<i>Hopefully I won't have any other episodes of random phobias while I'm here. This isn't normal for me.</i>"

They could have thrown Dante to the ground for trying to cast an illusion on Sasha, but why do that when she simply burned his little card?

It made him glance sideways at the white-haired, red-eyed girl he’d assumed was a type of vampire. He was almost certain he’d seen that in her file… but if she was drinking<i>werewolf</i>blood she was definitely<i>not</i>a member of his own species. Of course, different dimensions had different types of vampires. Inwardly, Buck cursed not having the time to read his patient files thoroughly before breakfast. The ancient man was even angrier because he’d done it to himself by failing to wake up in a timely manner.<br/><br/>He shrugged it off and returned his focus to Aniella. She followed him mutely, just as she’d done in the hallways during the trip to breakfast… though now that they were in a room full of other patients her slender body was rigid with fear. Of course there had been disgust in her eyes when he set the tray down in front of her, mixed with hunger and self-hatred for being the sort of beast who wanted to eat those things. He didn’t need to read her mind to know what was going on up there: she hated the monster she’d become. And how many hundreds of patients had the good doctor treated in his career at Osmond’s who felt exactly the same?<br/><br/><b>“Thank you very much for this selection, Nurse Buck, this is so much more than I need, you have been much too kind,”</b>the girl murmured.<br/><br/>At least this one spoke Italian, so the Roman was able to enjoy conversing in something close to his native tongue. He’d used flimsier excuses to give frank words to someone. Buck sat down at the table beside Aniella and fixed her with a look of both weariness and pity.<br/><br/><b>“I am not kind, Aniella. I am doing my job, which is to ensure that you are fed and clothed properly, and are oriented to your surroundings. This is also far less than what you should eat, and far more than what you will. You need three of these steaks and four cups of this blood, if not more. And tomorrow morning, you’ll be expected to see to your own breakfast.”</b><br/><br/>He paused to press his lips into a thin line briefly, deciding how to continue in a way that would motivate her instead of being berating. If he’d seemed distant or rehearsed before, there was genuine gravity and spontaneity to his words now.<br/><br/><b>“If you believe that you do not deserve to eat, or to live,”</b>Buck continued,<b>“you simply will not. This place will destroy you. We are <i>all</i> monsters here, myself included, and you will not change what you are by refusing to eat the food your body now needs.

Or perhaps he would only be sad to lose such a valuable specimen.<br/><br/>Letting his words of wisdom hang heavy in the air between them, Buck stood up again and took a step back from the table.<br/><br/><b>“Bon appétit, young lady,”</b>the vampire said, French and Italian blending harmoniously on his lips.<b>“If you’ll excuse me, I have some other duties to attend while you eat.”</b>With that, he turned to saunter towards the line of Sibling nurses.<br/><br/><center>-----<br/><br/>I know what you want so desperately;<br/>You know I'll give you one for free.<br/>Forever you're coming back to me,<br/>Now I'm gonna give you what you need!<br/><br/>-----</center><br/><br/>What had happened in the cafeteria around him while Nurse Buck was speaking to Aniella had not gone unnoticed. He’d heard, and seen from the corners of his eyes. Dante had cursed in Italian, slammed his tray down on the table and stormed out. He’d also tossed some kind of card at Sasha, and she’d simply burned it. (It was magical fire, best as he could guess, since she was a witch and not a pyrokinetic.) The silver-haired wolfeater, Simone, had said something to Jax and Cadie before following Dante out. None of the Siblings had followed them… and that was a problem.<br/><br/>Sara was already stepping in the Head Nurse’s direction to draw his attention to the matter but he stopped her course with a small hand gesture. Jean’s triplets were gathered around Darlene’s little desk in a corner near the door, backs to the patients, paying them no heed. The petite vampire stopped behind them soundlessly.<br/><br/><b>“Tony, Greg. Where are your patients?”</b><br/><br/>The two men turned to look over Buck’s head at the surrounding area. Greg, the bearded one, even started to speak.<br/><br/><b>“Dante? He’s right…”</b><br/><br/>But the table where Greg was looking now contained only Sasha. Dante and Simone were nowhere to be seen. The bearded man laughed.<br/><br/><b>“I’ll be damned. Oh well, we’ll go hunting for them in a minute,”</b>he said, turning back towards Darlene.<br/><br/>Buck’s jaw tightened.<b>“You’ll go now.”</b><br/><br/><b>“Relax, bloodsucker. Where the fuck are they gonna go, huh?”</b><br/><br/>Unless they were looking at Buck and Greg when it happened, the patients and the other nurses wouldn’t have seen the swift backhanded strike Buck delivered to the curve of Greg’s bearded jaw. They might have heard the meaty<i>thwack</i>that the blow made, and they certainly would have heard the clatter as Greg staggered backwards into a trash bin, knocking it over. Tony took his cue and hauled ass out of the Caf, not saying goodbye to Darlene or even looking at Buck.<br/><br/>Greg, on the other hand, put a hand over his injured jaw and glared at the smallish vampire.<br/><br/><b>“What the fuck did you do that for?!”</b>he protested angrily.<br/><br/><b>“Insubordination,”</b>said vampire replied in a tone laced with nonchalant menace.<b>“If you speak to me again in such a manner, you will pay for it with your tongue and be thereafter mute. So it will <i>not</i> happen a third time. Now get up off your lazy ass and go finish your patient’s orientation.”</b><br/><br/>It was clear from Greg’s face that he had something he very much would have liked to say to Buck, but he wisely refrained and did as the Head Nurse demanded.<br/><br/>From over his left shoulder, Buck heard a voice… one little more than a whisper, one that only he could hear over such a distance as the one between them.<br/><br/><b>“What just happened? I’m so confused.”</b><br/><br/><center>-----<br/><br/> » Cadence «<br/><br/>I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself,<br/>Are you aware I'm a danger to others?<br/>There's a crack in my soul<br/>You thought was a smile.</center><br/><br/><b>“The bloody muffin is right in front of you,”</b>said a voice from over her right shoulder. It sounded female, and cruel. It was also totally unexpected, and Cadie jumped. She couldn’t see what was going on around her anymore, thanks to Blondie, so hadn’t realized someone was approaching their table.<br/><br/><b>“You should help your friend more… if she is your friend,”</b>that unfamiliar voice continued.<br/><br/>Cadence couldn’t help the words that rolled off her tongue, she could only be thankful that they were whispered so softly that the speaker didn’t hear her.<br/><br/><b>“And you should mind your own goddamn business,”</b>she said, licking her lips several times.<br/><br/>Being blind, she couldn’t see if she’d offended the speaker, but she didn’t hear the voice again and assumed whoever it was had gone. Jax had been handing Cadie the muffin when they’d been interrupted, so she took a huge bite and chewed it slowly, savoring. She loved the rich, chocolately baked goods nearly as much as life itself.<br/><br/>Again, she was interrupted, and huffed a sigh of frustration. It was a strange series of crashing sounds, punctuated by angry words between what sounded like Buck and one of the Terrible Trio. Dante? Was that Blondie’s name?<br/><br/><b>“What just happened? I’m so confused.”</b>Cadie said aloud, turning her face in the direction of the commotion.<br/><br/><b>“Don’t worry, Cadie,”</b>came Buck’s voice, and it seemed he moved closer as he spoke.<b>“We had an issue, but it’s all sorted now. You can go back to your breakfast.”</b><br/><br/><b> “No,”</b>the telekinetic said, shaking her head.<b> “I mean, literally, what just happened? Did something fall over? What was the Triplet yelling at you about?”</b><br/><br/>She licked her lips twice, and then nibbled the bottom one a little.<br/><br/><b>“I knocked Greg into a trash can. Cadie, are you blind today?”</b><br/><br/>Mutely, she nodded, and winced a little. She knew that Buck knew what that meant.<br/><br/><b>“Let me guess; the new blonde.”</b>She could hear the amusement in the Head Nurse’s voice.<br/><br/>Cadie wished she could melt into the floor, slide away from the vampire’s scrutiny. She forced herself be thankful that she was blind and did not have to see what sort of judgment or mirth was on his lean, angular face. Once more, her voice had vanished. She only licked her lips, and nodded.<br/><br/><b>“I’ll do my best to keep him away from you, then,”</b>the nurse said a little more gently.<br/><br/>She nodded again, and this time managed a very quiet ‘thank you’, followed by several lickings of her lips. There was nothing more from the vampire, and Cadie assumed he’d gone back to whatever else he’d been doing.<br/><br/><b>“Gone.”</b>Jax croaked, and Cadie nodded. She’d figured that part out, but her vision stayed dark. Sometimes it took a while to come back.<br/><br/>She took another big bite of her muffin. Today was a two muffin day, she'd ask Jax to fetch her another one and some more milk in just a moment… and maybe in a little while, she’d ask for more pain medicine so she could take a long, drug-induced nap."

It felt good to unleash a little of his frustration on an unsuspecting victim… even if it wasn’t in the manner to which he was accustomed.<br/><br/>Cadie’s blindness was a little worrisome. Even in her limited state the Mutant’s telekinesis was nothing to be trifled with. If Dante could set her off, keeping them apart would make life easier for everyone involved. Especially Dante. Cadie’s last …interest, so to speak… had lost both his eyes when he’d looked at another female patient a certain way in the waif’s presence. The female’s hands had been severely mangled as well.<br/><br/>Buck was also worried about Aniella. He’d meant what he said to her: if she didn’t have the inner strength and will to survive Osmond’s, it would kill her. And probably sooner than later. A newborn monster’s self-hatred could drive it to the grave: a phenomenon Buck had witnessed many times in fledgling vampires long before he’d ever come to this place. They just couldn’t work up the nerve to do what they needed to do in order to survive, or they went mad with the horror of it afterwards. All the Head Nurse could do was speak honestly to the Ragdoll, and hope she was able to pay him heed.<br/><br/>These thoughts and many more spun through Buck’s ancient head as he meandered slowly from Cadie’s table towards the wall where Clara, Sara and Farrah were standing watch. Unlike Jean’s trio, Buck’s three nurses heeled like a team of highly trained Border Collies.<br/><br/><b>“Anything I should know?”</b>came the smooth, businesslike tone from his thin lips.<br/><br/><b>“All quiet on the Western Front,”</b>Farrah said mildly.<b>“Aleksandrina bit Clara, and Hanneli tried to catch me up in her dreams, which felt icky, but nothing we can’t handle.”</b><br/><br/><b>“Good work as usual, ladies,”</b>he said with a small nod. He’d never needed to strike his girls… but he never forgot that they were Morgan’s creatures, and no matter how well they performed he’d never really<i>trust</i>them.<br/><br/>He took his place beside the trio of women, casually leaning against the wall, taking a sideways glance at Aniella to see what she might have consumed from her multiple-choice meal. Everyone else seemed to be behaving, talking or eating quietly, so he folded his arms to wait until his patient for the day was ready to proceed with her tour.<br/><br/><center>-----</center><br/><br/>As patients finished their breakfasts, the nurses came off the walls one by one to escort them on the next parts of their Institute tour. They’d be shown the large two-story Library stuffed with books from many dimensions, pages filled with fact and fiction that could warp or wilt lesser minds. Equally impressive was the gymnasium complex; complete with basketball court, swimming pool, weight room, several normal and oddly-sized treadmills and exercise bikes and even a small sauna. There was the Recreation Room: table tennis and hockey, foosball, a pair of card tables, an overstuffed grey couch and two equally comfy looking armchairs… all of it bolted to the floor, of course.<br/><br/>In the Music Room new patients would find a raised dais against the far wall where a gleaming black grand piano sat waiting. Several grey armchairs -smaller versions of the plush ones in the Rec Room- were placed in a semi-circle on the left side of the room. Behind them, a large stereo programmed with hundreds of thousands of songs (digitized, of course) from every dimension imaginable was pressed against the wall. The right side was an open space edged by shelves holding drums and closed instrument cases. Folding chairs and sheet music stands were closed and stacked neatly in the corner.<br/><br/>Last but not least on the tour was the Great Room. At the moment it was totally empty and the walls were completely bare. The only feature of the room was on the wall opposite the door. Two floor-length windows with arced tops flanked a massive stone fireplace. The stone was rough, and in shades of grey and black. On either side of the dark maw, black wrought-iron candelabras were bolted into the rock and mortar. Candles …and curtains, for that matter… were absent.<br/><br/>There was much more to the Institute than the first and second floors of the patient care areas, but the tour included everywhere the patients could freely move during daylight hours. The Medication room would only be seen by the patients who’d need to go there, and the Treatment Rooms on Basement Level 1 were on the schedule for tomorrow."

His cigarette leaving a long trail of ash at the end showing how he hadn't moved in a while. Dante hadn't even noticed the fact he no longer alone in the green, open field. He battled within his own mind, delusions riddling every crevice of his mind. Every moment spent fighting off the urge to follow the voices commands. Each word it spoke seemed to be more and more reasonable. Falling slowly to his demons and further from him. And further from his Sweet Emilia. There he sat, like a statue on the bench, in the battle field of his mind.<br/><br/><b><i>""Dante... Why do you resist me..? I only want to help...""</i></b>The voice soothed his tone, like a sirens whisper.<br/><br/>""That is a lie..."" He thought to himself in response.<br/><br/><b><i>""No Dante... I want to reunite you will Emilia.... Don't you want that?""</i></b><br/><br/>""You don't Care about Emilia!"" Dante snapped back, fuel raging violently in his veins as the voice spoke of her name.<br/><br/><b><i>""That is not true, Dante.. I am you... How could I not care for Darling Emilia..""</i></b><br/><br/>""You are nothing like me! Just a vile voice in my head...""<br/><br/><b><i>""When will you learn.. I am you. I always have been.... Just finally speaking up... trying to reason with your own desires..""</i></b><br/><br/>""No..""<br/><br/><b><i>""If you listen to me.... We can become strong.. We can bring Emilia back...""</i></b><br/><br/>""Emilia would want nothing of your vile nature...""<br/><br/><b><i>""She loves you, Dante.. She wants nothing more than to return to you.. She wouldn't hate you for bringing her back...""</i></b><br/><br/>""Not at the cost you require...""<br/><br/><b><i>""I do not ask for much, Dante.... Let me in... We can break free of this prison.. We can go together, find Emilia.. Isn't that what you want..?""</i></b><br/><br/>Suddenly a shove came at Dante's shoulder, shaking him from his thoughts. The jostle broke the line of ash free of the cigarette to drop to the floor. Dante looked up only to find Greg, his nurse with a newly forming bruise along his jaw.<br/><br/>""I am talking to you!"" Greg reminded sternly, not seeming in any mood to repeat himself.<br/><br/>""What do you want?"" Dante asked rather sharply, his brows narrowing. He wasn't in the mood to be bothered. He had plenty more on his mind than to deal with the nurse.<br/><br/>""We have the rest of the Asylum to tour. Now get up! I won't ask again."" He retorted harshly.<br/><br/>Dante's jaw clenched tight, he could taste the faint hint of blood coming from his gums under the pressure. ""<i>Fyr..</i>"" Dante hissed through his teeth as a ball of flame began to form and swirl in his palm. Before he could strike a sudden pain sear into his chest as if each of his ribs were slowly beginning to crack. The ball of flame died out as he gripped his sides and toppled in on himself. His breath halted, unable to breath through the pain. Suddenly the pain vanished and he gulped for air, panted and wheezing as he still held onto himself. He looked up at the nurse, his eyes blood shot from the strain. He noticed the nurses eyes suddenly fade back to its normal color from a strange purple glow.<br/><br/>""What the<i>FUCK</i>did you do to me!?"" Dante demanded through panted breath, receiving a wide grin from the man standing over him.<br/><br/>""You didn't think you were the only person here with tricks, did you?"" He laughed at the thought. ""I guess you could say my special brand, if you will, of magic involves blood. Once I have come across your DNA anytime within the following twenty-four hours I can manipulate it to my will. Make your cells attack themselves or even simply stop flowing. And we have plenty of your DNA from arrival day Dante. Feel free to remember to behave."" He stated cynically before taking Dante from under the arm and forcing him to his feet. With a shove at the back he was pushed into a walk. Dante stumbled a bit from the shove though maintained his footing. This only pissed Dante off more.<br/><br/>Dante let his arms drop down to his sides once more, looking ahead of him as he was ushered out of the courtyard. His eyes falling upon the white haired woman that seemed to be in company. He might have tried a bit of flirtation if he weren't in such a foul mood. He pushed through the doorway and turned down the hall as instructed.<br/><br/><b><i>""Maybe if you would listen to me we could have killed him...""</i></b>The voice reminded with bloody delight.<br/><br/>""Shut up..."" Dante whispered under his breath."

In any event, the moment was brief as two nurses appeared… one, a bearded male whom Simone did not recognize, the other the petite vampire did know, she had seen him earlier that morning, he was the one who had injected her with some sort of drug(s), and for that, Simone hated Tony, well more so because the white haired female loathed, no feared needles, if she were being perfectly honest with herself.<br/><br/>Simone’s eyes narrowed as she stared icily at Tony; then Simone’s attention was pulled to the faire haired man as a softly uttered word reached the created vampire’s keen ears. Simone watched silently as a small ball of fire appeared in the palm of one of the other patient’s hands. “What the bloody hell?” Simone asked herself as her small frame tensed instinctively, the girl’s agitation only made more acute as she watched what happened next and then heard the bearded nurse’s words directed toward her fellow patient. Simone glanced back over her shoulder at the man assigned as her nurse. What, Simone wondered silently, powers did the male wield?<br/><br/>Seeing his charge staring at him, Tony shifted his stance slightly, ready for any trouble that Simone might convey his way. “What are you looking at. Come on, we’re going,” the nurse demanded as he took a step toward his patient. Simone pressed her thin pink lips firmly together as she turned toward the nurse, a sudden flash of searing, white hot anger entering her mind, flooding it like a river, clouding the white haired girl’s mind like a thick, early morning London fog. She heard the nurse speaking to her, telling her to back off, though the man seemed to be speaking from far away. Simone took a slow step forward… then another, followed by a third,l onger stride.<br/><br/>Something jammed into the vampire’s left arm, and Simone jerked, her right arm drawing back, claws extending as she began to lunge toward her attacker, only to feel a sudden surge of sickness in her stomach, along with a sharp pain. Simone gasped sharply, falling onto all fours; her chest heaving as she fought off the urge to cry out. “What did you do?” Simone hissed at Tony as she forced her head to lift, meeting the nurses’ gaze as she spoke at him through ragged breaths of air. “Just a little something to keep you in line,” Tony replied with a smirk as he roughly grabbed Simone’s hair at the crown of her head and jerked the shaking woman to her feet…<br/><br/>Simone took the tour, seeing the library and its rows of books, the music room with its instruments and stereo, the recreation room, the main room and so on, although not of her own choosing, and all the while still feeling rather ill from the drug(s) she had been injected with. Of all the things she saw, Simone found the library the most interesting, or as much as she could in her state. Simone had been given very few things in her existence, but a kind staff member at The Solomon Facility had given the girl books from time to time, mostly story books, that was until the day the woman vanished, disappeared the same way Simone's books did, never to be seen again.<br/><br/>Some time later, the tour being over, Simone found herself left alone again, and she began to wander back toward the cafeteria. Entering the room for the second time that day... Simone looked around; then made her way to a vacant table against the wall near the door(s), Leaning over the table slightly, her right hand resting across her stomach, Simone stared silently at the other patients present through haft open eyes, not knowing really why she had came back. “I’ll kill him,” Simone whispered under her breath as another wave of nausea took her, making the vampire sway from side to side in her seat and bite her bottom lip, hating Tony more each passing moment..."

Hers were small and silvery, where Bernadette’s was big and bright blue with lime green stripes, but the Angkrillian was still relieved to see someone else<i>finally</i>choose the same item as she did for breakfast. Though she wanted to go introduce herself to the feline woman, Bernie had more pressing matters to attend. Just as soon as she’d finished wolfing down her meal, she just<i>had</i>to visit the pool. Bernie’s skin was already itching from the lack of submersion. If she didn’t spend at least an hour every day in the water, her iridescent blue skin would crack and leak silvery blood.<br/><br/>The nurses seemed to like her blood: they thought it was pretty. Since it wasn’t red, they didn’t seem to realize that it was still her life flowing out of her crispy flesh. Or maybe they did, and just didn’t care.<br/><br/>The pool at Osmond’s Institute had clearly been designed with Earth’s mermaids in mind, but could be altered to suit the needs of most semi-aquatic species. The salt content of Engalaste’s seas was significantly lower, and it was laced with minerals that would only be found on worlds distinctly extraterrestrial. The staff at the Institute adjusted the water for her the first day, a small blessing she’d never stopped being grateful for.<br/><br/>After a brief soak (Bernie broke up her swims into five or six twenty minute increments a day) she was padding back through the hallways, barefoot and dripping wet. All her life she’d worn clothes that went easily from land to water and back again… taking them off and putting them back on to avoid getting them wet had been an incredibly difficult habit for her to get into.<br/><br/>She was headed back towards the Cafeteria, hoping to snag one more fish before they closed down for the hour between breakfast and lunch, when Bernie was blessed with a unique opportunity.<br/><br/>Early on in her stay at Osmond’s, Bernie had learned that one of the higher-ranking nurses (or at least she<i>thought</i>he was higher ranking, from the way the others treated him) was very averse to water. Lo and behold, it was Greg leading a new blonde guy down the hallways. He was distracted, rubbing his fuzzy jaw, and didn’t see Bernadette heading straight for him, picking up speed.<br/><br/>He flinched a half-second before Bernadette bowled into him, tackle-hugging him to the ground and giggling maniacally before chirping, “Good morning, Greg!”<br/><br/>For good measure, she rubbed her wet hair all over his face.<br/><br/>“Damnit, Bernadette!” the bearded man roared, scrabbling frantically to distance himself from her drippy person. “You didn’t take your clothes off when you went in the pool! And you didn’t use a towel! STOP HUGGING ME!”<br/><br/>“Noooooh, Greeeeg,” the silvery-blue female whined, full of forced sincerity, “you are faaaaaavorite. Where I come from, you and I turn<i>into</i>water, and flow in to the sea… so far away from land it be just bad memory.”<br/><br/>She stroked Greg’s hair, feigning fondness, making sure to get it nice and damp. When the male nurse started to feel where Bernie’s wetness had soaked through his clothes and was now in contact with his skin, he got serious about fighting to free himself. He was much stronger than she was, and flung her off to his left side.<br/><br/>Bernie landed hard on her right hip, and winced a little in pain, but it was gone as quickly as it came and she was left with only laughter. Her body slid to a squeaky, wet stop mere inches from Dante’s toes, her broad smile showing not one but two rows of razor sharp teeth. She looked up at him for a moment before getting to her feet. Greg had immediately gotten up off the floor and begun to walk in the direction of the nearest nurse’s station.<br/><br/>“Greg! Where you go?! Your patient!”<br/><br/>In response, the nurse flipped her off, and kept right on walking.<br/><br/>Bernadette was still chuckling a little as she turned to the tall blonde Greg had abandoned.<br/><br/>“Ah-ha, made him real angry! Bastard deserve it!” She hoped she was using the word ‘bastard’ correctly… Bernadette hadn’t quite mastered the Earth-language, but she had been lucky enough to have vocal cords that were capable of it. Poor Jax sounded like a bird squawking no matter what he said!<br/><br/>“I am…” the noise Bernadette made instead of an English name sounded a dolphin’s echolocation intermingled with a song in what might have been ancient Etruscan. “But since your Earth-tongue cannot say my true name, you call me Bernadette like others do. Nurse has left you, so I will show you this place, if you like… but first tell your name.”"

Lost in thought as his feet mindlessly lead him down the hall. Only deviating his course when he felt the firm jab of a finger into his side to turn. He grumbled under his breath, eyeing the nurse over his shoulder maliciously after each jab. He sighed. Maybe he was too quick to judge this place. It wasn't nearly going to be as fun as he had originally thought when offered the grand array of food. Curse his soft spot for food! It had always clouded his better judgement! Mentally scolding himself not to get distracted by warm pancakes again! Though in the back of his mind he knew he was no match for the fluffy angel disks.<br/><br/>Hearing wet feet slapping against the tile Dante looked up to see a dripping wet silvery-blue woman half sprinting towards them. As she passed Dante with a trail of wind he looked back only to see Greg get tackle hugged to the ground with a loud thud. Dante simply stood there, a bit perplexed at the whole situation. For one the strange color of the girl but mostly how friendly she was to Greg. Seriously.... It's Greg.<br/><br/>A bit lost for words Dante simply rubbed his fingers through the messy tufts of hair curiously. He was about to help the girl up but before he could she had already done so herself. It wasn't long before Greg got up in a huff and stomped away, ending their interaction with the show of his anger. Dante couldn't help but laugh a little. He did quite enjoy the discomfort in the nurse. His eyes adjusted back to the girl as she faced him. His hues scanning her up and down curiously, trying to figure out<i>what</i>she was. This place was certainly filled with odd creatures. At least this one looked relatively beautiful, despite the rows of sharp teeth.<br/><br/>Dante laughed once more as she spoke of Greg as a bastard, he could not have stated the sentiment better himself. Apparently the whole act was simply to stab into the nurses nerves than any true sort of friendship display. He was glad he wasn't the only one who thought of the man as a genuine, grade A,FDA approved A-Hole. Hearing her introduce herself he had to admit that her true name was actually quite lovely to hear; though he would sounds like an idiot trying to reproduce the sounds she just made. So Bernadette was a good substitute.<br/><br/>""Dante Veneti."" He spoke smoothly, a rich tone while letting his true Italian accent shine through. Gently Dante took the girls hand in his own, bringing it up he placed a charming kiss to the back of the oddly colored skin of her hand; his deep green eyes looking up at her for a reaction. He simply control himself from flirting. He certainly had a problem. ""It is a pleasure, Bernadette."" He continued as he released her hand and stood up straight. ""Any enemy of Greg's is a friend of mine!"" He announced with a soft chuckle, his lips creasing into a faint grin.<br/><br/>At the offer to let Bernadette continue his tour of the institute he simply nodded. ""That'd be lovely, Bernie. Do you mind if I call you that? Or do you prefer Bernadette?"" He said with a gesture of his hand to continue while the walk.<br/><br/>Though behind the facade of his charming smile the voice began to chirp.<b><i>'Why Dante... What an exotic snack... She looks quite delectable... Maybe serve her up with a little salt... Oh, who am I kidding... Salt goes straight to our thighs..'</i></b><br/><br/>Dante softly laughed, he might hate the voice but he was right. Salt was definitely not a friend to their figure. No! His figure! ...His figure..."

Aniella seemed a little overwhelmed by her breakfast and the Cafeteria, and struggled to eat thanks to both her disfigured mouth and her powerful urge to hide it. She only had the toast and water she’d requested, then looked helplessly at the Roman.<br/><br/>The little vampire moved fluidly off the wall and guided his Ragdoll through the process of returning her tray. He led her out of the Cafeteria and went through the motions of her tour. First, the Gymnasium complex… then the Rec Room, the Music Room, the Great Hall, and finally, the Library. Through it all the girl was basically mute. She didn’t ask the Nurse any questions, responding with a simple ‘yes, sir,’ when asked if she understood the rules of each room and of the place in general. Or, in the instances where he asked if she had any questions, a simple ‘no.’<br/><br/>It was frustrating for the ancient man: he couldn’t decide if he’d frightened Aniella with his grim comments earlier, if the stress of all the men in her new home (himself included) was too much for her, or if the pain of her stitched-together skin was becoming too great. He kept his comments brief and sort of rushed through in a few places.<br/><br/>Once the tour was complete, Buck turned to his patient.<br/><br/>“Well, Aniella, that’s everything I need to show you. For the rest of the day, you’re free to wander the patient areas and explore as you please. Or, if you prefer, I can show you back to your room… and I think you might need some medication as well.”<br/><br/>This girl could not look at his face. Her dark eyes never got higher than the spot below his left collarbone where his name and rank were stitched in gold against the black fabric.<br/><br/>“My room, please…” she began, and hesitated for a moment before saying more softly, “…and the medicine.”<br/><br/>“Very well,” the Head Nurse replied, inclining his head… even though she didn’t see the gesture.<br/><br/>Buck led Aniella up the stairs near the Library, and stopped at the Nurse’s Station conveniently located just outside the stairwell. There he found Cadence waiting, demanding a dose of her own.<br/><br/>“I didn’t get my RD this morning,” she told him from the other side of the counter in her familiar ghost of a voice. “I got pain medicine instead… but I think I need the RD more.”<br/><br/>There was something in her one unbandaged eye, and her manner of standing, that made Buck stop and contemplate her. It had been five months since her last incident with one of the Institute’s males, and her blindness that morning could have been the beginning of a new trend. He made another mental Post-It note that Cadence should always be kept as far away from Dante as possible. For someone who claimed to be avoidant of attractive men, Cadie certainly was hyper-aware of them.<br/><br/>“All right, Cadence, let me check what you were given this morning, and I’ll see what I can do for you.” He turned returned his attention to Aniella and switched back to Italian. “One moment, please. It appears I have two patients in need of chemicals.”<br/><br/>On the touch-screen mounted to the counter in the Station, Buck keyed in his passcode and tapped his way to the Mutant’s file. (Really, what sort of species was Mutant, anyway? Everyone in Osmond’s was a mutant, somehow. He generally referred to her as a MetaHuman.) She’d had a generous dose of an exceptionally powerful painkiller, something called Zydrate from an Earth far different than his own. The good thing about Zydrate was that it didn’t act as a respiratory or CNS depressant, so Cadie could have safely received her morning sedative along with the narcotic. The other staff had simply withheld it to mess with the telekinetic’s head… a dangerous game, at best.<br/><br/>Cadie would get a half-dose of her usual sedative; she just needed a little relaxant to sustain her until a full dose this evening. It was something the Institute called reglocondiazipine, or RD. It had a strong calming and disconnecting effect without the lazy, dreamy sensation of standard human benzos. The Zydrate should still have been making her feel a little loopy… unless…<br/><br/>“Cadie?” the vampire asked, pausing with the tip of her needle pressed against the vial of sedative, “Did the pain medicine from earlier make you feel anxious or itchy at all?”<br/><br/>“No,” she said softly. “Very dizzy… kind of…<i>loose</i>? It’s hard to describe.”<br/><br/>Buck nodded, and continued with his predetermined course. It wasn’t an adverse reaction to the Zydrate making Cadence edgy. It was probably Dante… or possibly Jaxillian. The Raven-Man had been awfully chummy with the MetaHuman lately. The Head Nurse had been surprised Cadence had tolerated that closeness so well for so long. Perhaps it was a combination of the two rather than just one or the other; old stressors and new.<br/><br/>For Aniella, Buck rapidly procured a dose of something that was basically undead morphine. It would make her groggy as well as numb. Sweet sleep for a sweet, shy girl.<br/><br/>“Aniella,” the vampire said in Italian when he’d finished getting the two girls’ medicine out of the cabinet, “I’ll give yours to you first. Please follow me.”<br/><br/>Then, in English to the Meta, “Aniella is new and she’ll get her medicine first. If you’ll go to your room, I’ll be along with your dose shortly.”<br/><br/>Cadence did what Buck instructed, as did Aniella. It was always a good day when he got to deal mostly with delicate little women who obeyed him so nicely. And he’d had an excuse to smack the shit out of Greg! His spirits were high as he instructed Aniella to sit on her bed: the pain medicine she’d be getting wasn’t clean like Zydrate and he didn’t want her falling over when the wave broke. He’d almost been smiling as he’d slipped on thin rubber gloves, asking the Ragdoll to excuse his touch as he cupped her elbow to steady her arm for the shot.<br/><br/>That all changed as he attempted to push the needle into her vein. The loose, sewn-on skin actually<i>slipped out of place</i>and resulted in his stab going into muscle rather than vein.<br/><br/>It was the first time he’d ever missed.<br/><br/>“My apologies, Aniella,” he said, rather surprised and very faintly disgusted. “I won’t make that mistake twice.”<br/><br/>True to his word, Buck hit her vein easily on the second attempt. Any pain he’d caused with the errant needle prick should have been erased by the chemicals he delivered into her bloodstream. He watched the girl sigh, relax, saw her lids begin to droop.<br/><br/>“Thank you, Nurse Buck,” the Ragdoll breathed through her medicated haze.<br/><br/>“Your gratitude makes me uncomfortable,” the vampire replied as he re-capped her needle and stripped the latex gloves from his hands. “I am only doing my job… although speaking Italian again almost does make it a pleasure.”<br/><br/>Buck paused and gazed at the young Ragdoll for a few heartbeats. If she’d been able to look him in the face he probably would have graced her with a small smile. But she couldn’t, so he didn’t, and the moment passed.<br/><br/>“You will probably sleep for a while now. When you wake, come to the Cafeteria for dinner. If I do not see you there by seven, I will come to fetch you.”<br/><br/>Without another word, the vampire rose and exited Aniella’s room. He stopped at the Central Station to get another set of gauze pad and bandage for Cadence’s eye, as well as a half-dose of Zydrate. The Head Nurse had something he wanted to check.<br/><br/><center>» <span class=""bb-u"">Cadence</span> «<br/><br/>So turn around, walk away,<br/>Before you confuse the way we abuse each other,<br/>If you're not afraid of getting hurt,<br/>Then I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you.</center><br/><br/>Cadie didn’t see who else left the Cafeteria, or when. She really wouldn’t have really cared even if she could have watched. The pain medicine still had her feeling woozy and weak. Though she’d eaten what felt like enough food to sustain a small village for that day, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger and she grabbed another chocolate muffin to nibble as she shuffled down the hallway with her arm tucked in Jax’s.<br/><br/>The stress of being blind, hurt, and in physical contact with a being she tried to think of as nothing more than an ally was really starting to wear on the Mutant. She felt prickly, cranky, and anxious. It suddenly occurred to her that she hadn’t had her sedative and probably needed it.<br/><br/>“Jax,” she said in her usual whisper, “we need to check the Stations for nurses. I need my RD.”<br/><br/>The Raven cocked his head and turned one round, dark eye critically down at his telekinetic cohort. It was as if he suddenly realized that he’d shifted her hand to rest on the back of his and covered it with his other one, pinning her arm against the side of his ribcage. He loosened his grip and made the space between them a little bigger, shifting his arm so her hand was on the metal of his wrist restraint instead of against his skin.<br/><br/>“Thank you,” Cadie said softly, sighing a little in relief. Though he instinctively knew what was bothering her, his exact thoughts were generally a mystery to the young woman as he could not articulate them. It wasn’t the first time she’d contemplated asking Nurse Buck for one of the translators the nurses occasionally wore: if she could get her hands on one, Jax could talk in his own squaking Raven-speak and she’d be able to understand him.<br/><br/>The wish, in and of itself, made Cadence nervous all over again. She took a few deep, calming breaths and forced herself to concentrate on climbing the stairs in the darkness. After the first time she made a misstep and nearly fell, she took her hand away from Jax and had him hover near her as she navigated with a two-handed grasp on the railing. At the top of the stairs he opened the door for her, and made to take her arm again as they exited into the main hallway. Mercifilly, one of the nurses was standing at the Station by the top of the stairs.<br/><br/>“Jax,” he said with a slow smile. “Just the birdbrain I wanted to see. It’s time for your therapy session!”<br/><br/>Cadie couldn’t see, but she would have sworn she<i>felt</i>her companion stiffen at her elbow. She heard him sigh, and then he released his grasp on her forearm. She resisted the urge to sigh in relief, and allowed him to place her palm on the counter instead.<br/><br/>“Wait!” she said with as much loudness as she could muster. “I need my RD before you take him downstairs.”<br/><br/>She licked her cracked lips and took a step forward, feeling along the counter. Cadie heard the nurse huff and then move. The faint tapping noise told her that he was checking her medication administration record in the computer system.<br/><br/>“You had pain medicine three and a half hours ago. You can’t have any RD yet… sorry about your luck.”<br/><br/>He wasn’t sorry about her luck, he was glad he didn’t have to go to the trouble of drawing up a shot for her. The young woman didn’t need to see it on his face… she could hear it in his voice.<br/><br/>“Come on, Jax,” he said. “Don’t fight me this time.”<br/><br/>“But, wait,” Cadence whispered insistently. “Let him show me to my room before you take him. I’m blind today.”<br/><br/>The nurse gave a small, derisive chuckle. “Well that just sucks for you, Cadence. Jax is already late… if he doesn’t come along<i>quietly, and right now,</i>he’s going to get hurt.”<br/><br/>She heard the two males begin to move away from her, and when the Raven croaked, “See. You,” Cadie felt a painful tightness in her chest. She did her level best not to get attached to Jax but she needed him today… and the thought of him in pain always made her feel bad.<br/><br/>“I’ll come get you for dinner, just stay in your room when you get done,” the girl called as loudly as she could manage. “Remember I’m safe up here!”<br/><br/>Jax squawked once in reply, and the door to the stairwell clanged shut. Cadence was alone with the quiet and the hope that her helper would survive another brutal<i>treatment.</i>Again the tears began to well in Cadie’s eyes, and again they stung in the wound on her left lid. She took a deep breath and forced herself to move.<br/><br/>Her bony fingers felt their way along the counter to its end and then followed it around to the inside. She moved slowly, carefully, and eventually found her way to the chair that she knew would be situated in the little cutout desk. She pulled it out to the center of the Station and took a seat. Then Cadie closed her eye -even though she couldn’t see anything, it had been open- and began to spin.<br/><br/>Although it was amusing, this wasn’t just for fun. Cadie had learned long ago that this was an effective way to cure an episode of blindness. Round and round she went, until she was really dizzy, then came to a sudden stop and snapped her eye open. Sure enough, in an effort to help negate her vertigo, the vision had returned.<br/><br/>Sighted again, Cadie was suddenly too nervous to go walking about in search of another nurse: she might bump into Blondie, and the others wouldn’t give her any RD right now, anyway. She decided to wait in the Station, sitting in the chair with her back facing the hallway, until someone showed up to medicate her. She was in luck: Buck appeared with Ponytail Girl almost exactly half an hour later.<br/><br/><center> » <span class=""bb-u"">Buck &amp; Cadence</span> «</center><br/><br/>Cadie did as the Head Nurse instructed: she returned to her room to wait her turn. Buck was easy for her to deal with, for several reasons. He didn’t feel at all human. His skin was pale and hard and cool as marble. His voice was somehow melodic and soothing, almost hypnotic. He wasn’t entirely unattractive but often had an air of reserved arrogance that Cadie found off-putting. She’d also seen him do some pretty brutal shit to some of her fellow patients: the sight of him with his shirt shredded, the bright red of open wounds in garish contrast to his moonlight flesh, fangs bared at psychotic werewolf he was attempting to subdue was burned into her memory.<br/><br/>He was also very quick about… everything. Five whole minutes hadn’t passed before the vampire nurse showed up at her door, fresh bandages and full syringes in hand.<br/><br/>“All right, Cadence. I brought your medicine, but I’d also like to check on your wound.”<br/><br/>She was seated on her bed, and Buck dragged the small chair in her room over to the side of it so he could relax without getting too friendly. Always with her he was mindful of his physical presence: he didn’t touch her unless it was strictly necessary for treatment. Cadence assumed it was simply his high level of professionalism. The truth was that Buck loathed touching humans he didn’t intend to eat. It was rather like playing with raw pork. He put on a new pair of latex gloves.<br/><br/>“That’s fine,” the girl agreed in her usual muted tones.<br/><br/>Buck nodded and began to unwrap the MetaHuman’s gauze halo. He couldn’t help noticing how fine and dull her hair was, though it was exceptionally soft. She sat very still, her one good eye closed to help her escape the nearness of his presence. Although he was a vampire, cold and strange, his nimble fingers were awfully close to her face.<br/><br/>And then it was over, the gauze pad stained with Cadence’s own blood fluttering like a sad leaf down into her lap. Buck could smell it distinctly. Even though he wasn’t hungry the ancient vampire couldn’t help the small ache he felt in the top of his mouth. He could, however, push his natural impulse aside. The stitched bottom lid hadn’t healed at all, which filled the Roman with a sense of dread. The woman’s Meta nature dictated that she should have healed this wound halfway already. That she hadn’t could mean only that her body’s energy reserves were totally depleted despite the girl’s efforts to eat inhuman amounts of food.<br/><br/>He repressed a sigh as he reached for the numbing/antiseptic spray he’d brought with him. Cadie couldn’t read the petite nurse’s face unless he wanted her to, so she didn’t know if he disliked what he’d seen.<br/><br/>“Is it bad?” she mustered the courage to ask.<br/><br/>“Not especially,” Buck replied. “What worries me is that it hasn’t even started to heal yet.”<br/><br/>Cadence pressed her lips into a thin line. She knew what that meant just as well as her Nurse did. She was starving, energy reserves at zero. The Mutant didn’t need to be told; the empty feeling in the bottom of her stomach and the diffuse pain throughout her body clued her in to what was happening. Cadie looked up into Buck’s face, searching for a way out other than the one she knew was coming.<br/><br/>“They weren’t going to tell you, because they were worried you’d have an episode, but you’re getting a button installed tonight,” he said, in a rather regretful tone.<br/><br/>‘Button’ was clinical slang for a feeding tube, which would be installed just under her ribcage and wind its way directly into her stomach. In response, Cadie held out her arm, exposing the inside of her elbow… bruised and lumpy from a year’s worth of deliberately rough injections. Buck almost winced for her: if she’d been his patient out in Orrace, he’d have ordered ultrasound therapy to help soften those scars.<br/><br/>“RD. Now.”<br/><br/>Buck could hear the stress in her voice. She hadn’t whispered, she’d growled, and didn’t lick her lips because her teeth were gritted. With obliging rapidity he uncapped one of the two syringes in his hand. Cadie couldn’t be bothered to find his icy touch offensive on the back of her bicep as he steadied her arm with one hand. She loved getting injections from Buck because he was the gentlest and most precise with his needlework. He also didn’t force the medicine in, but pushed it gently over a few long moments. Though the Roman had only planned to give the Meta half a dose of the RD, he’d drawn up a full one and upon seeing her reaction to the feeding tube news, he generously gave her all of it.<br/><br/>Just like the Ragdoll had done, the MetaHuman sighed and relaxed as the medicine spread through her arm to her heart, and from there to her gifted brain and the rest of her body. She instantly felt more nonchalant about the whole feeding-tube business.<br/><br/>“It won’t be so bad, Cadence.” Buck reassured her as he reclaimed the bottle of antiseptic. She didn’t flinch or even really seem to notice as he slid a finger under her chin to steady her head, which had suddenly become slightly wobbly. “This is antiseptic and numbing medicine. It should feel nice, but it might sting a little at first.”<br/><br/>“Mmhmm,” the girl murmured with a small, soft smile. The RD they gave her here in the Institute really did work better than anything else she’d ever been given on Earth. It didn’t just make her too inebriated to think coherently. It actually seemed to remove her ability to care about what was happening around her. Buck’s digits under her chin to tilt back and steady her head should have made her distinctly uncomfortable, but she just closed her good eye and waited for the stinging spray.<br/><br/>It didn’t sting at all: it felt cool, soft, soothing. The hot ball of pain turned into a low smolder, fire dampened by rain, and her cracked lips parted to issue a deep sigh of relief.<br/><br/>“Feel nice?” the vampire asked, mildly amused, and was rewarded with another dreamy smile and a soft ‘mmhmm’ from the back of the girl’s throat.<br/><br/>Buck rewarded Cadence with a few more spritzes before he released her, and the girl made a sound that put him very much in mind of a purring cat. Thanks to both the RD and the ICD, Cadence didn’t even bother to try restraining her inappropriately happy responses to the lidocaine on her battered lid.<br/><br/>She sat quietly, eyes still closed as Buck replaced the thick pad over her left one and wound the gauze in place around her head again. He tied it off and sat back, reclaiming the two syringes.<br/><br/>“Now, since you seem to enjoy the lidocaine spray so much, I’ll give you a little more of the painkiller. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”<br/><br/>Cadie opened her mouth to protest, but Buck was so fast that his needle was in her vein before the sound took any discernible shape. The Zydrate traveled like a freight train through her slender form, and she thought that if a drug overdose was how she died, it would be a pleasant way to go. But the painkiller was clean and crisp: she was numb without being overly woozy. Still, she suddenly felt as if she could get some very deep, very restful sleep… if she just laid her head down on her pillow…<br/><br/>Buck seemed to sense the change in the girl. It was as if she’d completely forgotten about the feeding tube and wanted only to nap before lunch. They never had to worry about Cadie missing a meal: in no more than two hours, her stomach would wake her and demand that she attempt to fill it. He gathered the wrapping from the new gauze pad, the bloody used one, the old gauze and the used syringes before rising. As the vampire turned to grab the chair and drag it back to its place at Cadie’s vanity/desk, he felt the faint pressure of her painfully thin digits on his wrist. He froze. She’d never willingly touched his skin before.<br/><br/>Cadie was only dimly aware of what she was doing. She felt half-drunk, half-stoned and completely uninhibited. The Mutant was not herself, and that was the best excuse she could make for crossing that invisible line in such a bold manner. She was both fascinated and repulsed by the vampire nurse’s stony flesh. Her one green eye looked up into his face, searching for his golden gaze beneath the shadows of his tousled bangs. When their eyes met, Cadie found herself surprisingly unafraid: there was a strange and unearthly beauty to that shifting stare, and none of the menace she'd expected. Buck found only mild surprise: the Meta had already been a year in this place, and wouldn't have survived so long if she didn't possess some significant intestinal fortitude.<br/><br/>“Buck,” she said in a voice with more strength than the one she usually used, though her words were faintly slurred, “I know you don’t like it when we thank you, or say you’re kind… I get it, because you’re not always kind… sometimes you can’t be. I’ve seen you do some very unkind things. But when you want to… you can be gentle, and kind. So thank you for being kind to me today. I needed it.”<br/><br/>Cadie dropped her eyes and released his wrist, her voice growing quieter as she continued. “I won’t be mad about the feeding tube…<i>if</i>it makes me fat and strong.”<br/><br/>The Roman was put off-kilter by his patient’s sudden sincerity. He’d been caring for Cadie less than a year, and because of her aversions and his gender she’d never treated him with any sort of familiarity. Though she smelled and acted like a human, Cadence was something else. She was Meta; different, an addition, something<i>alongside</i>humanity. Despite her serious illness, she seemed to have that steel survivor’s core… it was only difficult to see because of her meek demeanor and waifish stature.<br/><br/>The Meta was a stark contrast to the ailing Ragdoll. Cadence just might survive this place, if she could ever get a handle on her out-of-control powers. Aniella, on the other hand, would be lucky to live out the next month. He smiled a very small smile at the ash-blonde, and replied with something like familiarity.<br/><br/>“We couldn’t make you<i>fat</i>if we tried, young lady. But strong is most definitely the point of the procedure. Now get some rest.”<br/><br/>Cadie nodded, burrowing down into the bed as the Head Nurse finally returned the chair to its place. He didn’t say anything else before leaving the room. He didn’t need to: the Meta was already breathing the slow rhythm of sleep.<br/><br/><center>» <span class=""bb-u"">Cadence</span> «</center><br/><br/>The change in the light filtering through her window told Cadie she’d only slept a couple hours, but she felt incredibly rested. Chemicals still pulsed through her veins making her numb and loose in all places but one: her cramping, hollow stomach. She flung back her covers and forced herself upright. On top of being heavily medicated, she was lightheaded and weak with hunger. Each step was a struggle, both hands on the wall for balance, but she made it to the elevator. Strength, the vampire had promised her strength. Soon… but not now. Now she had to make it to the Cafeteria, and feed the gaping black hole in her face.<br/><br/>Progress was slow, but the girl gained the elevator. She nearly fell over when it started to drop, but regained her balance before it stopped and the doors slid open. Though it seemed like a short enough walk from the elevator to the Cafeteria, the girl had to fight for each inch. By the time she reached the doors she was shaky, sweaty and scared. Cadie didn’t know if she had it in her to actually<i>get</i>the food she’d need to live.<br/><br/>The door weighed a ton, and she barely got it open. The ash-blonde waif staggered to Darlene’s desk and albeit collapsed into the chair next to it.<br/><br/>“Darlene,” she whispered between panting breaths, “I’ve never asked you for anything, but today I sincerely need help getting food.”<br/><br/>The heavyset nurse raised an eyebrow and leaned forward. “We’re going to put a tube in you, you know. Lookit you, you’re literally about to starve to death.”<br/><br/>Cadence nodded, silently thanking Nurse Buck for leaking that little tidbit to her earlier. “It’s okay, as long as it makes me stronger… better. But unless you want to do it<i>right now,</i>I need a sandwich like nobody has ever needed a sandwich before.”<br/><br/>Darlene chuckled, and then grew serious. She clearly hadn’t expected the telekinetic to be so reasonable about the feeding tube. And then she shrugged, smiling faintly, as if to say ‘why not’.<br/><br/>“All right, Cadence. If you’re not going to fight us over the feeding tube, for now I’ll have one of the other nurses bring you a meal. I’ll help you to your table.”<br/><br/>Cadence nodded and began readying herself to rise, but Darlene held out a hand. “Wait.”<br/><br/>She opened the cabinet in the wall beside her desk -without getting up from her chair- and revealed a tiny fridge. From inside the hefty brunette retrieved a can of Sprite, a bottle of vanilla Ensure and a bottle of Pedialyte. She set them down in front of Cadie before reaching into a desk drawer and producing a Snickers bar and a pack of graham crackers.<br/><br/>“First, Pedialyte. Then the Ensure and the snacks. Then Sprite. Your food should be ready by then.” She turned her head to yell over Cadie’s shoulder. “Mike! C’mere!”<br/><br/>The mutant sipped her Pedialyte doggedly as Darlene rattled off a ridiculous list of high-fat, high-protein food for the nothing of a girl. Mike glanced at Cadence incredulously after Darlene had finished her long list, but nodded once and vanished into the kitchen. The orange drink disappeared and she ripped open the Sinckers bar with her teeth. It was<i>so</i>good, chocolatey and gooey, chased down with the thick vanilla protein shake. Cadie could almost feel the sugar entering her bloodstream. By the time she finished the last sips of her Sprite, she felt strong enough to make it to the nearest table… and Nurse Mike was bringing out her lunch. The first course was two thick slices of meatloaf smothered in mushroom gravy, huge servings of cream cheese and chive mashed potatoes, collard greens and black-eyed peas, a big slice of cornbread warm enough to melt its generous slather of butter, two yeast rolls and large glasses of both milk and sweet tea.<br/><br/>Cadence looked up at the two nurses, her one open eye wide and full of gratitude when she whispered, “Thank you.”<br/><br/>Then she set to methodically destroying her meal. Her focus was complete, almost Zen… the young mutant could have been in a professional eating contest. Both Darlene and Mike seemed rather astonished at the speed with which her first round disappeared, but the older woman gave the younger man a sage nod. Cadie’s second course was an amazing sub sandwich: pepperoni and salami, mozzarella cheese, Roma tomatoes, spinach, Kalamata olives, a little basil and a generous slather of mayo on both sides of the warm, crispy French bread. To drink there was a raspberry fizz -heavy on the syrup but without caffeine- and a big glass of ice water with lemon.<br/><br/>Halfway through inhaling her sub, Cadie looked up and realized someone had taken a seat at the table next to hers. The girl had hair a few shades lighter than the Mutant’s own: actual white to Cadie’s slivery-blonde. From the short distance she could also see that the other woman’s eyes were bloodred… and the other female had a distinctly sick and miserable look on her face.<br/><br/>Cadence was not normally the outgoing type, and wasn’t known to introduce herself to new patients… but the new girl who’d just come in seemed like she might need some assistance, and she was without a trailing nurse. The Mutant took a deep breath and spoke as loudly as she could force herself. (It was probably just loud enough for Simone to hear her over the din of the Cafeteria.)<br/><br/>“Excuse me, miss? I don’t mean to bother you, but do you need some help?”"

The Shadowborn had skipped eating, which wasn’t surprising or alarming at all. He simply didn’t need actual food. The young man made it through his introduction to the Gymnasium and the Rec Room. In the<b>Music Room</b>, however, things went sour. In his few minutes of browsing the room, Rak found the bound paper guide to the music programmed into the stereo system. He put on a song from his homeworld and refused to be moved thereafter. When Kyle tried to force him, Rak sent one of his shadow-spikes through the nurse’s body: in just below the collarbone, out through the center of his shoulderblade. Nurses Jean, Greg, and Randa responded. The situation ended with Rak subdued by a trio of ultra-powerful flashlights until a suitable shadow-elemental sedative could be administered. He was returned to his room and also given a powerful hallucinogen as punishment/treatment. Kyle would not return to the patient treatment areas for two days, and<b>Rak</b>wound up on<b>Basement Level 2</b>, in a coma.<br/><br/><b>Sasha and Anya</b>both managed to complete their tours, and were returned to their rooms.<b>Anya</b>was sedated again, and whether she actually slept or became too intoxicated to escape from her own nightmares was anyone’s guess.<b>She remained asleep in her room until lunchtime.

When Sarah attempted to move the neko, the woman clawed the nurse viciously. Alice truly fought like a cat; twisty and scratchy, not doing a lot of real damage but nearly impossible to hold. Although Sara and Stanley struggled happily with Alice, it took the addition of Nurse Buck to finally subdue her. She was sedated and restrained for the remainder of the day, but during the night awoke and broke one of her bonds. She was sedated again and chained to her bed. By morning, she was unresponsive.<b>Alice</b>was then pronounced comatose and removed to<b>Basement Level 2</b>.<br/><br/><center>---xX--Xx---<br/><br/>» <span class=""bb-u"">Bernadette</span> «</center><br/><br/><b>“Dante Veneti,”</b>the tall human said smoothly, and then he proceeded to shock the Sea Dweller by taking her hand in his. Where Bernie came from, the only reason for a male to touch a female was in order to breed with her. The physical contact kept the female from changing into water and escaping. This Dante, she was absolutely<i>certain</i>he couldn’t move his form like that… she knew what a handshake was, and that wasn’t what he was doing, either. When a human wanted that, they held out their own hand rather than taking the other person’s. And Dante wasn’t stopping with merely taking her hand in his; no, he raised it to his mouth and<i>brushed his lips across her knuckles,</i>looking up into her silvery eyes.<br/><br/>For a moment, the Angrkillian was frozen. His lips felt warm and soft and dry against her own cool, damp skin. And his eyes… there was a time, during the hot summer on her planet, when the water in the Bay of the Growing turned green with a rich algal bloom. That hue meant food for the newborns, the promise of life for another generation of Bernadette’s people. Dante’s eyes were a little darker than she remembered the water being, but the shade was close enough to make her think of her favorite season at… home.<br/><br/>Coupled with the way he held her hand -she seemed to remember that when humans touched their lips to someone else it was called a<i>kiss</i>and did have romantic connotations- she found herself caught, unsure as to her next move. He<i>couldn’t</i>mean to breed with her, surely… she wasn’t even 100% clear on how humans did that, though from what she did know it<i>might</i>be possible for her to couple with a human. Not that it seemed likely to be pleasurable for her or result in any offspring.<br/><br/>Bernie couldn’t tell if Dante sensed her confusion or if he simply didn’t intend to breed with her right that moment, but he let go of her hand and straightened. She decided that humans were just totally weird about their mating rituals and she’d worry about Dante wanting to breed with her if he ever actually tried it.<br/><br/><b>“It is a pleasure, Bernadette. Any enemy of Greg’s is a friend of mine.”</b><br/><br/>Dante smiled at her, a gesture Bernie always found amusing. People had such neat, dull little teeth, they didn’t look fierce at all! She gamely showed him her own sharps in return.<br/><br/><b>“A tour would be lovely, Bernie,”</b>the Magician continued, gesturing for her to lead the way as he spoke.<b>“Do you mind if I call you that? Or do you prefer Bernadette?”</b><br/><br/><b>“Bernie is okay, say what you like,”</b>she replied, moving just across the hall to the Rec Room door and laying her hand on the doorknob. Bernie paused, and gave Dante a suspicious glance over her shoulder.<b>“But no more touch.”</b><br/><br/>Then she opened the door and stepped inside, holding the portal open and waiting for her new friend to follow.<b>“This is room for rec,”</b>she chirped brightly as he entered. Bernadette didn’t have the first clue that Rec was short for recreation, or really what recreation meant.<b>“We play games here, and draw pictures. I like to draw!”</b><br/><br/>Though it sort of sounded childlike, the discovery of colored pencils and paper had been a game-changer for Bernie. A few Land-Dwellers knew how to make ink and paper out of plants, but Bernadette had never actually<i>seen</i>them before coming to Osmond’s. She had turned out to be rather talented at sketching, and had produced a couple of remarkable pictures depicting some of the sea life on her planet. They were currently taped to the wall in her room, their corners curling up from the high humidity."
20709,Twisted Redux,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-05-25 19:17:00,Oblivion,"The biscuits tasted nasty. As always, Anya fought down the urge to spit them out, preferably in someone’s face. Despite the fact that they were made of berries, and that the word ‘berries’ was synonymous with ‘yummy’ in the human world, the biscuits tasted foul. Anya had figured out the specific berry used long ago, yet she never remembered to complain about it. Raa’iy berries were the most disgusting of the bunch, yet Anya was given the privilege of probably being the only Dreamweaver that consumed them on a daily basis.<br/><br/>The dark blue mess that she had spat on out onto the table had started running off to the side of the table on its own accord; Anya didn’t make a move to stop the seemingly conscious berry pulp from navigating across the cafeteria floor. Nor did she pay any attention to the two patients at her table; whether they were disgusted at her childish actions, Anya didn’t know or care. All she cared for, at the particular moment, was the bitter taste slowly crawling across her taste buds.<br/><br/>“This is icky.” She announced, and stood up. “I’m never eating these again!”<br/><br/>The man who served them their meals rolled his eyes, going back to his job without batting an eye. This was the four hundred and twenty seventh time the Dreamweaver had made that proclamation, only to forget the following day. He was surprised, however, by the young girl approaching the counter and holding out her hand. Giving her a questioning look didn’t help matters at all, nor did shooing her away with a swipe of his hand.<br/><br/>“What do you want?” He said in short, clipped tones, barely looking up from his job.<br/><br/>“Muffin.”<br/><br/>“No. Your body can’t process anything except those weird biscuits of yours.”<br/><br/>“Muffin.”<br/><br/>“You can’t eat it!” He raised his voice just a tad, but it was enough to elicit a negative reaction from the girl. Even while he kept his gaze down, avoiding her eyes, he could tell the girl was angry.<br/><br/>“Can so! Give me.”<br/><br/>The muffin was unceremoniously tossed at her like one would towards a stray dog. Anya didn’t seem to mind, however, nor did she hear the cafeteria man’s mutters of wasted food as she hopped away and took a seat at an empty table. The dull man and the kitty-lady were no fun, so why should she share her food with them? Not even into the first bite, Anya was interrupted by the arrival of Farrah. The blonde woman barely reacted to the sight of Anya ‘sampling’ the human pastry, spitting out every bite she took.<br/><br/>Without a word, she brushed the remnants of the muffin away from Anya’s hand and handcuffed the Dreamweaver’s hands together, heavily restricting any movement on her part. Anya didn’t respond, and absently drifted after the blonde woman, eyes distant. She didn’t know where the yellow-haired woman was taking her, but she sure as hell didn’t want to be confined to her boring old room again.<br/><br/>Plus, that man would be waiting for her.<br/><br/>For a good while, Anya was calm and quiet, taking in the areas Farrah pointed out with childish wonder. It passed too quickly for Anya to take in anything properly, let alone commit the areas to memory. Like a mirage, she drifted along, almost colliding with the nurse as she stopped in front of a door. A very familiar door.<br/><br/>All too soon, Anya realized where they had taken her. What lay beyond the door was a room quite literally out of her nightmares, with a sinister being lying in wait. Why was Farrah being so cruel and taking her back?<br/><br/>“No!” She protested as soon as Farrah swiped her card and opened the door. Even with the minimal view, Anya could see the dark shadow sitting on the dresser. A wave of panic gripped her and she bolted down the hallway, dimly aware of Farrah thundering after her. She wouldn’t go back to the room, not under any circumstances… would she?<br/><br/>Farrah’s strong grip wrapped itself around Anya’s waist, yanking her back with all the force of a weightlifter. What the hell was this woman made of? It left Anya extremely breathless and gasping for breath. It was already hard breathing in this world, and now Farrah had made it ten times harder. The nurse didn’t spare a second in taking advantage of Anya’s incapacitated state and flung her over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes.<br/><br/><i>Breathe.</i><br/><br/>Focusing solely on the suddenly agonizing task of breathing, Anya was barely aware of being thrown inside her room until she collided with the floor, her back absorbing most of the impact. As the infernal nurse slammed the door shut, Anya flung herself against the door, a split second too late. Balling up her fists, she banged them into the door, screaming at the top of her lungs.<br/><br/>Only a few seconds later did she feel the aftershocks of a needle being inserted in her neck. She had no idea when Farrah had managed to jab a syringe in her neck but Anya could feel the sedative rapidly taking effect and, using the last remnants of her strength, she increased the volume of the commotion. Not even a second later, a fireball exploded against the door, all the no avail.<br/><br/>Eventually, she slumped against the door, feeling her anger wash away and hopelessness taking its place. The man had watched the entire spectacle across the room, sitting in a relaxed position on the dresser. Studying the form with lifeless eyes, Anya eventually mustered up the energy to form words.<br/><br/>“Whatchu want from me?” The sedative had done a good job – too good, in fact, as it had heavily slurred her speech.<br/><br/>The man did nothing except smile as he slid off the desk. Tendrils of some kind slowly slid off his arms, making their way across the walls in a similar fashion as her previous nightmare. Once again, Anya cursed the nurse and her sedatives as she felt the drugs course through her system, rendering her incapable of moving. The tendrils slowly faded into dull darkness and enveloped the entire room, their cold grip wrapping around Anya’s body and dragging her in."

The question was not one Simone had not heard before. Simone had been asked if she were ‘okay’ every time she had returned from a mission, or after a test, or following a injury. The nurses, doctors, and others whom had spoken those words had not meant them in any form of kindness, so why was this any different,,,? “She isn’t one of them,” Simone’s inner voice stated the obvious.,,,<br/><br/>“I don’t think you can help me,” Simone replied, her voice barely above a whisper as the white haired female grasped the edge of the table even tighter, her fingernails extending into the table’s surface, even this small act of transformation causing the vampire to feel even worse. “They… gave me something… made me sick,” Simone hissed, her carmine coloured eyes flashing with anger as Simone tried to steady her breathing, so that she didn’t have to gasp out almost every spoken word between ragged pants for air.<br/><br/>Simone hated to even think of asking for help. She was not some weak human. She was not a pathetic creature who relied upon others to do things which she could not, as her creators had been. But the sad act was, as sickening as it made her feel, was Simone could not even stand as present, let alone cross the cafeteria. With a audible, resigned sounding sigh, Simone lifted her gaze from the table and looked again to the girl whom had spoken to her. “Wait; there is something you can do for me. Could you get me a drink?”<br/><br/>Simone lifted a trembling hand, a splintering sound coming from the table’s edge as Simone’s claw(s) pulled free. Pointing toward the table where the bags of lycan’s blood had been, Simone took several deep breaths before speaking again, this time managing to do so without panting and in a steadier sounding voice… if barely. “Those silver coloured bags there. Can you see them/ If you could bring me two.” Simone’s slightly pale cheeks turned a slight shade of red as she finished speaking, both from embarrassment at being so weak and anger, loathing for the people whom had put her at Osmond’s,a nd for every bloody nurse and doctor in the asylum…"

With her bandaged left eye and her bones practically showing through her skin, the Mutant was not exactly a poster child for good patient care. Sometimes they gave her hallucinogens when she went into ‘therapy’, just to make the giant TV screen seem a little more intense. She could certainly sympathize with drugs made to hurt instead of help. And the red-eyed woman was also correct in that there wasn’t much Cadence could do about it.<br/><br/>Right about then, the mutant waif realized that the other patient’s fingernails were turning into claws and<i>digging into the table.</i>This was clearly someone of sizeable strength, and though the she seemed to be struggling to keep calm her breaths were ragged. The expression on her face was pained, and almost angry.<br/><br/>Something else Cadence could sympathize with… especially when she thought of her impending stomach implant.<br/><br/><b>“Wait; there is something you can do for me. Could you get me a drink?”</b>the white-haired female asked.<br/><br/>The Mutant nodded, hoping it wouldn’t be too complicated a task. When the other girl raised her hand, her nails left splintery divots in the plywood and laminate that composed the table. She gestured to the carnivore steam line. Then she took several deep breaths, as if steadying herself.<br/><br/><b>“Those silver coloured bags there. Can you see them? If you could bring me two.”</b><br/><br/>It took a few seconds for Cadie to finally locate the silver bags her fellow patient was referring to. She wasn’t very familiar with that side of the food line; although the Mutant ate a vast<i>amount</i>, her menu was relatively tame. For a moment, she wished Jax was there: he would have been happy to do the leg work. But he was in therapy downstairs, and Cadence was up here on her own… with someone who needed help.<br/><br/>Briefly, and on an almost subconscious level, Cadie did a calculation in her head. Thin as she was, her body still weighed at least eighty pounds and it was about twenty-five feet from her table to the steam line. So to get up and go get the bags she’d have to move eighty pounds fifty feet.<i>Or</i>she could just use her powers and move five pounds twenty five feet.<br/><br/>The answer was obvious.<br/><br/>It had been a long time since the Mutant had willingly used her telekinesis. Though it had almost been like a cherished pet of hers during childhood, it had grown into a savage beast. The Institute had collared it, put a finite ceiling on how much damage it could do… but sometimes the waif still cringed when she opened the door to the cage.<br/><br/>Yet for all the times it struck without her command, it had never disobeyed her when given a specific order. It was still like feeling her own willpower solidify -in this case, around two of those silver bags- and follow her focus up into the air. She drew them across the room effortlessly, two willing little pets that docilely floated past the head of another patient who was staring blankly into his soup. Setting things down gently was always the hardest part: the impulse is to just<i>let go</i>but if you do it that way items crash and bounce. The trick Cadie had learned was to select a spot on the table where you wanted to put it, and then distinctly put it down before letting go. Just like you’d do with your actual hand.<br/><br/>So the two silver bags settled themselves down smoothly just in front of the white-haired woman.<br/><br/>One of the added perks of not physically getting up to fetch the bags was that Cadie didn’t have to stop eating. She’d actually torn a large bite from the sub while using her ‘invisible hand’ to get the other patient’s lunch. She chewed and swallowed as the things landed, glancing sideways and giving the other woman a small… even slightly shy… smile. Because this was generally the part where people freaked out.<br/><br/>“There you go,” the Mutant said in her usual, soft voice. She licked her lips, and then took a sip of her raspberry fizz."

She was in a bed (<i>a bed?</i>) and in a room (<i>when did that happen?</i>). The furniture was adequate for a room of this size, if rather simple in design. What was going on?<br/><br/>The door opened and a woman in a nurse uniform walked in. ""Oh good, you're awake. Hurry up, you just missed breakfast."" Her tone, however, suggested that she couldn't have cared less.<br/><br/>""Is this a hospital?"" Ryn demanded as she got out of the bed. Her clothes had been replaced with lilac scrubs. Yep, definitely a hospital. ""Who are you?""<br/><br/>""Your nurse, obviously,"" the woman replied. ""It's time for your medicine.""<br/><br/>Ryn's eyes narrowed. ""I'm not sick—"" She yelped as the nurse jabbed her with a needle.<br/><br/>""<i>What did you do?</i>"" But she already knew the answer. The ""medicine"" raced through her bloodstream, binding to various cells. Dulling her emotions.<br/><br/>She had never bothered to make herself resistant to poisons or sedatives. Holding on to that anger, she reached out mentally to rip apart the air molecules around the nurse's head.<br/><br/>Nothing happened.<br/><br/>What was this? The covalent bonds held fast, despite her best efforts at breaking them. This had never happened before...<br/><br/>Memories returned in a flash.<i>The needle sinking into her neck, insectoid eyes watching impassively as she lost consciousness. Bob!</i><br/><br/>The nurse didn't seem to notice. ""Can't have you crazies starting shit now."" She turned and walked to the door. ""I'll show you to the cafeteria, and afterwards I'm supposed to give you a tour of the place."" She stopped. ""Well? Are you coming?""<br/><br/>She should have been furious at being out-maneuvered, but the drug blunted the emotion, reducing it to dull anger. This allowed her to think: why had he sent her to a loony bin?<br/><br/>The answer was obvious. Ryn smiled beatifically and followed the nurse, using her powers to smooth out the tangles in her hair and shape her energy field into wings. It was important to make a good impression.<br/><br/>As it turned out, there was nobody in the cafeteria. At least she didn't have to stand in line. Parts of the selection didn't look edible at all, though. What kinds of freaks stayed here?<br/><br/>She'd carefully selected her meal so it had all the components of a balanced diet. If she'd had her auxiliary mouths, she could have tested her meal for drugs. For now, she'd just have to rely on her taste buds. The food got no reaction from her nurse, which annoyed her. Would a crazy person care what they ate?<br/><br/>Then again, she wouldn't expect her escape to be that easy.<br/><br/>At least they had a library. Their selection was mind-boggling; she'd be thrilled if it weren't for the fact that this was a mental hospital. They even had all the scientific journals from the annual flesh-crafting competition on Videnis, though she only needed the ones dating from five years ago onwards. She had to get ideas, after all.<br/><br/>The music room had an equally wide selection, and the Great Room reminded her of some ballrooms her clients and targets had. They was even a gymnasium and recreation room, all well-equipped. They didn't spend nearly as much money on hiring staff, if her nurse was any indication.<br/><br/>Eventually, it was time to return to the cafeteria for lunch. A few patients were already eating; two blood bags of a silvery liquid floated to a table as she watched. Ryn frowned. If all the patients had powers like her, she'd need to be careful. She had no intention of starting anything she couldn't win.<br/><br/>She stopped by the table after selecting another nutritious and balanced meal (salad with baked chicken breast and an apple as a snack). A girl with a bandaged eye and a white-haired woman were sitting there. Ryn scrutinised the girl, thinking. If she offered to heal her eye, the benefits were obvious: gratitude and a potential ally. On the other hand, she wasn't keen on revealing her bio-manipulation abilities to the staff.<br/><br/>""What happened to your eye?"" She asked as she sat next to them."
20713,Twisted Redux,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-06-19 21:22:00,Kiddo,"Somewhere out in space, surrounded by countless stars and light-eons of dark matter and rapidly-expanding sparse matter, amongst the haystack of space debris floating about aimlessly, an insignificant little rabbit-like creature had hidden itself away. As far as it new, the closest civilization was 5 million light years away. If it glanced in that direction, granted it had some sort of perfect zoom vision, it would be able to see the dinosaurs gallivanting about newborn landmasses. Or, there was something closer a few realities over, but adding that fifth dimension to space made reckoning of lots of things more difficult, and granted that it had only been capable of thinking in such manners for a few years, it wasn’t really inclined to take on the mental burden of doing so.<br/><br/>Not that its mind nor body were particularly busy right now. The rabbit seemed to be passing the time by developing some sort of wormhole through which it would guide a nearby asteroid, hurtling it through space at speeds which would break the foundations of physics as humans knew them. Occasionally it would look up with an out-of-place expression upon its face, perhaps bursting out into laughter (silent, of course, since the sound could not move through space) or muttering nonsensical words to itself. And less frequently (though if one had been watching for a while one might have noticed that the frequency was increasing) he would pop something into existence next to himself, unscrew the safety lid, and pop an unhealthy-looking number of pills into his mouth.<br/><br/>It was as he did this again that something changed. The rabbit’s brow creased, and it glanced into the bottle with something akin to anger or deep disgruntlement crossing its face.<br/><br/><I’m out of Awakening, mind linking me where some is?> The Mew raised an incredulous eyebrow and glanced over at the other in the room with him.<br/><br/><No, we need you to come back so that we can talk. Then you can have your pills.> “I’m calling him in; we’ll do things your way,” the cat told the strange bipedal seed, and it nodded and disappeared into the pool by which they sat.<br/><br/>“Alright, then.” The rabbit appeared just moments later, coming over and plopping down where the Elder’s recent visitor had been resting. “Not sure why we couldn’t continue the conversation telepathically, but here I am. What you need?”<br/><br/>“I just wished to check on your status. We may have found a place that can help with your conditions.” The cat maintained admirable control over his facial expression; it never wavered from the grim line that he normally wore when dealing with this particular little mistake. He should have known that such a young mind was not ready for the responsibilities that he’d heaped on it, but times had been tough.<br/><br/>“I don’t need help. I’ll get over it.” The rabbit had that exasperated tone to its voice that one got when he had become tired of repeating himself over and over to no avail. That was, of course, the case here: as much as it denied it, everyone could tell that things weren’t getting better on their own.<br/><br/>“Ah, yes, no one liked Gamma Draconis 5, anyway, right?” Though it was said in a joking manner, the Mew didn’t change its expression at all, lending a biting accusatory edge to the statement. The rabbit just remained quiet, as it did in such cases, waiting for whatever other shoe would drop to do so. “Regardless, it’s not really up to you. Celibi gave me a visit, and brought this with him.”<br/><br/>The rabbit stared at the ball that the cat held up, a look of horrible realization spreading over its face. “No way, you wouldn’t!” Upon finding no yield in the Elder’s face, the rabbit disappeared, but they both knew that there was nowhere that it could hide.<br/><br/>“A rabbit… with wings on its butt.” If it didn’t actually say that (in surprisingly-nice script on decent paper; obviously a note that came with the patient instead of something that they’d documented themselves) on the forms, he’d have thought that maybe someone was joshing him. Not that there was generally much joshing among the Siblings, but such things had happened before. But no, it said it right there. Well, this would be different.<br/><br/>It took Charles a while longer than usual to get to his new patient: he’d had to deal with another one who’d magically slipped into a coma. She’d been a troublesome witch who howled on and on about frogs and warts (and specifically about turning people into “warts with frogs”), and it was with relief that he’d signed the paperwork to officially authorize her displacement to a lower floor. Hopefully his new patient wouldn’t be as much trouble, and he’d get off with a net win today.<br/><br/>As he made it to the door where they were temporarily keeping the thing, he wasn’t too surprised to see that the light was still on: when he’d come by earlier to place the chart and medicine by the door, it had already been so. Now he grabbed the medicine (a huge syringe of a powerful concoction that the chemistry team had shrugged their shoulders about when giving it to him, saying “<i>should</i>make him compliant: it might work?” Not necessarily reassuring, but rabbits with godlike powers didn’t come through their gates often, and he’d come with no instructions) and carefully opened the door. Maybe he should have brought a carrot?<br/><br/>He wasn’t sure what he’d expected, but a half-melted room with the foot-tall occupant floating serenely in the middle playing a game of mancala with itself was not it. He’d been well-trained, though, so whatever surprise he felt did not end up registering in his manner as he greeted the thing. “Good morning.”<br/><br/><Ah!> Kevin glanced up from his game at the tall bearded nurse whom he’d felt come by earlier. <Just what I wanted to see! A person! You probably know what’s going on here!> The mancala board disappeared, the bits of dust that had served as a sort of quantum surface returning to their normal state and puffing out into the chamber in the subtle air currents that had been generated by the opening of the chamber door. He floated (a bit awkwardly: this weight on his neck was obviously dampening his telekinetic powers) over to the man, who held up a vicious-looking needle almost defensively. <Now now that’s unneeded. But as I was saying: whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat is gooooooooing on?> Even telepathically it drew out the syllables in a manner reminiscent of a childish human, treading somewhere on the line between annoying and adorable. For someone un-inclined to see such things in a good light, though, it was probably the former for Charles.<br/><br/>Charles made some sort of start at a jabbing motion with the needle, but seemed to think better of it. Patients weren’t supposed to be this awake, or this… pleasant. Especially not… he cast his eyes about and took in the sight of the walls, melted as if the room had recently seen a nuclear event. He’d have to note to increase the resistance on the collar if it was the thing that did that: he didn’t recall the walls being that way before, so that was the obvious conclusion. He’d have to go over the video records, too, to see just what the whole thing was about. Seemed that the witch hadn’t been replaced with someone as simple as he’d hoped. At least it didn’t seem to be intent on killing him right now, instead asking a question for which he, of course, had a prepared answer. “Welcome to Osmund’s Institute, the leading professional conglomeration for the treatment of mentally-ill superpowered individuals.”<br/><br/><Osmund’s. Huh. So, they did send me to a mental institute.> Kevin did not seem happy with the news, flitting back and forth right in front of the nurse. <Of course they did, Bit has no idea what he’s doing. Should put that stupid thing right back in the satellite from whence it came! I’M FINE! WHY DID YOU SEND ME HERE YOU #$%^?><br/><br/>As it stopped its feverish floaty pacing for a moment to make its mental cry at the world, Charles took the moment to make a jab at it with the syringe. It was a rabbit biologically, right? Charles certainly wasn’t a veterinarian, but he figured that what he knew about treating humanoid creatures wouldn’t be particularly helpful in this case, and so he just made a general guess at where to aim from seeing other take care of the more animalistic species a few times, and went for it. Even managed to hit flesh and begin the injection before the rabbit plummeted from the air.<br/><br/>Not quite the reaction he’d expected. Charles, always one for protocol, was quick to reach for his walkee-talkee, but as quickly as Kevin was down, it was back up again, spinning around to glare accusatorily at him. <DIDN’T I SAY THAT WOULDN’T BE NECESSARY?> The power of the psychic message (thankfully dulled at least somewhat), directed specifically at him as it was, was enough to start a headache throbbing in the upper right part of Charles’ skull. He made another jab with the needle, but this time the rabbit was too fast for him, darting to the side and then grabbing onto the syringe with all four of his tiny limbs.<br/><br/>For a few moments they struggled, but before Charles could drop his papers and grab for the object with his other hand, too, the Victini had propelled itself backwards, pulling the plunger (still firmly in Charles’ hand) right off of the rest of it. The medicine splashed out onto the floor, almost immediately beginning to fill the room with a nauseating stench, and Kevin tossed his end of the device onto the floor with venom.<br/><br/>There were protocols for this sort of thing. Charles took the distance that the rabbit had created, quickly moving back to the door and taking out his walkee-talkee. “I need room 1n027 gassed.” He pulled out a gasmask with his other hand as he replaced his walkee talkee with a taser, securing it over his face while brandishing the weapon at the approaching Victini.<br/><br/><Oh no you don’t, GIVE ME THAT!> The rabbit went right for Charles’ face, but met the searing pain of the taser as the nurse dodged away from him. It didn’t seem to have much effect, as it immediately dove in again, but for the few minutes that they needed as the room became positively foggy with the amount of sedative being dumped into the air, Charles managed to stop the thing from getting his mask.<br/><br/>It appeared that even this wouldn’t work, though. The Victini didn’t seem to be tiring, and the taser certainly didn’t seem to be enough of a deterrent (the dodging was really the only thing keeping it off of Charles’ face). Charles’ radio crackled, and he heard something that sounded like “Code 113”, though he desperately hoped that he was wrong about that.<br/><br/>Of course, he wasn’t. As the powerful psychic generators in the walls around the room began to warm up, Charles could notice the edges of his vision blacken as his ears filled with a thrumming sound. He’d been chosen for this particular guest probably because of his extensive training surviving psychic attacks, but he knew that Code 113 was designed for things far more resilient than he. He placed himself –as quickly but safely as possible- in a prone position on the floor just before he blacked out. Gosh, even the witch wasn’t this bad.<br/><br/>Kevin couldn’t move once all was said and done. Or, rather, when the psychic field finally dissipated, he found that the robot which was slowly fleeing the room to a little hatch in the wall had increased the suppression on his collar to the max setting. It was weird, being unable to float into the air for locomotion or unable even to sense most of what he was now used to as he was forced back to the rudimentary baseline of sight, smell, hearing, and touch. He picked himself up weakly (seemed that they’d increased the resistance on whatever was stopping his energy flow, too), but then there was someone else (in a gas mask, and definitely not his nurse, who he could see was still sprawled on the floor knocked out) coming in, and before he could attempt to scurry away in whatever semblance of speed he could manage, having not done this running thing in a while, the fellow picked him up and brought him out of the room.<br/><br/>The door slid shut (not smoothly, Kevin noted, as the rails on which it slid seemed to have taken a beating at some point) and he removed his mask. Wait, it was Kevin’s nurse? Kevin scrutinized the face, but that was definitely the face of the man that they’d just left lying in that room. Different facial hair, and this man was a bit shorter, but he looked just like a short less-well-groomed clone of that guy!<br/><br/>“Guess we shoulda been more aggressive with the collar on this one before. Vent out 1n027 and get Charles out of there, I’ll give this thing its tour and drop it off at lunch.” At least he didn’t sound like Charles as he described his plan of action to the woman in the nurses’ station, who nodded affirmatively and began poking at some buttons as Short Clone began to, very professionally, given how much trouble Kevin had just caused, trundle the Victini about and show it the various areas that he’d have access to. If he weren’t so much trouble, Short Clone added, though that was the only mention he made of what had just gone down.<br/><br/>It was a bit embarrassing to be carted around by this new nurse, but Kevin resigned himself to it and even managed to enjoy the tour. Not that most of it was very interesting for him (most of the facilities weren’t really suited to a water-allergic rabbit), but they did have an amazing library, and that could probably give him something to do. Kevin had skipped out on a lot of his early education to tramp about the country pursuing the Pokemon Master dream, and had been trying to catch up these last few years as he managed to get books. Looked like he’d have no problem finding books here! Though from the titles he imagined that most of them weren’t in languages that he could understand, they were bound, from the sheer volume there (and the fact that he<i>could</i>read some of the titles) to have something he could.<br/><br/>“And that’s that.” It had been a very one-sided tour, as Short Clone couldn’t understand Kevin’s gibberish language and so, with no psychic power to clarify what it meant, the Victini had quickly given up on trying to discuss anything with him. “And this is our cafeteria. You missed breakfast with that silly fit you threw, so I guess you’re probably hungry. Not that we know what you eat.” He placed the rabbit down at a table, looking around at the other nurses about the room. Kevin followed his line of vision, and they eventually rested their eyes on Charles, who stood against the wall with a somewhat tired expression on his face. Short Clone ruffled the Victini’s hair between his ears with his fingers, and then walked off to possibly update Charles on how it had gone. Pleasant enough fellow.<br/><br/>Well this was wonderful. Kevin felt the oppressive force of the collars even more now that he had to move himself about on his limbs again. He experimentally hoped about a few times on his side of the table before looking across its expanse toward the three who had congregated on the other side, eyeing them critically. They didn’t look particularly crazy, though he wasn’t really sure what to look for even if they were. One seemed to have gotten into a bit of a scrape recently, another had claws, and the last one was winged, but it wasn’t really that strange considering that he’d seen odder beings on his tour.<br/><br/>Well, maybe they could make worthwhile conversation. Kevin made his way over without too much trouble, and plopped himself down by the two silver packets that one of them had floated over (unless floating was the basic food delivery system here, though the lines by what looked like a kitchen suggested otherwise). Well, then one of them was psychic to some extent, maybe that person could read his mind if he thought hard enough? Otherwise communication would be difficult. He glanced around at them, trying to guess which one had this power, but coming up with nothing, he figured he’d just go for it.<br/><br/>“Hello, ladies! Would you mind telling me more about this place? I’m new!” It came out as a bunch of monosyllabic squeeks with too many consonant sounds (vs, cs, ts, and ns exclusively, though), but he was projecting it hard enough that maybe an especially psychically-receptive individual would be able to get his point if she focused."

The lycan blood, or whatever it was, trickled coolly down Simone’s throat, filling her empty stomach with the nourishment she needed to survive. ‘Thank you,” Simone would murmur after finishing the first bag, pausing at length between each word, she clearly not used to say thanks/ At least it didn’t seem as though they were going to starve her to death, Simone mused silently as she picked up the second blood bag and set her razor sharp fangs into it, easily tearing two holes from which to drink.<br/><br/>Amother voice pulled Simone from her thoughts, and her meal, the vampire’s gaze snapping upwards to take in the new speaker, a girl with striking, electric blue eyes and long brown hair. ‘What do you mean?” Simone spoke softly, a slight edge to her voice before she realised that that the question had not been directed at her. “Oh, my mistake,"" Simone muttered... her best attempt at an apology before turning her attention back to finishing her second meal. But she was interrupted again as a… well it looked like a rabbit of some sort, approached and began to make a series of squeaks. Simone frowned, staring quizzically at the thing; then she shook her head.<br/><br/>‘What is it saying?” Simone mused aloud, the question directed to everyone and no one at the same time. Simone studied the new arrival for several long moments, her keen carmine coloured eyes taking in its form from head to toe. It was a potential threat until Simone knew otherwise… But then again, wasn’t everyone here? Simone shook her head and took a deep breath. No; it wasn’t like that, was it? Simone was feeling better after her meal, but it was still hard to think. Why…? What had happened to her? Was she really broken? That’s what the doctors at Solomon had said, yes?<br/><br/>But they never had said what was wrong before they had prepped her for euthanasia. Were they going to treat her here and return her home? No, it didn’t seem that way. Simone’s expression hardened as thoughts of her home and her creators ran through her mind and a soft growl slipped from between the petite white haired female’s lips, which were now pressed together in a hard, straight line. ‘It was… her fault,” Simone hissed angrily as her confused, drug fillled mind began to slip further and the image of her creator appeared in front of her, arms crossed over her chest, staring down her nose at her project from across the table. “I already killed you,’ Simone growled as she shot to her feet, knocking her chair over in the process... ‘You’re dead! I remember!""”"

She'd have thought it was obvious that ""what happened to your eye?"" was addressed at the one person at the table with an obvious eye injury. Though it looked like her eyes were an unusual colour as well. Red had never a popular colour for eye modifications; something about being untrustworthy. Ryn wasn't sure. It wasn't her colour, so she'd never bothered with it, and that had been that.<br/><br/>Perhaps she was used to people commenting on her eyes. Yes, it was probably that, she thought wryly. It couldn't<i>possibly</i>be because she was a basket case who thought people were talking to her when they weren't, not at all.<br/><br/>She was interrupted by a rabbit landing on the table. Its colouring didn't look natural; it looked more like the custom-engineered pets she'd seen on the inner worlds. It was amazing how much rich people with money to burn would pay for rabbits with pink fur or cone-shaped bodies.<br/><br/><i>Is this a mental hospital or a zoo?</i><br/><br/>The rabbit began squeaking. At the same time something began ""pinging"" her energy fields, for want of a better word. There was a pattern to them, she realised: each tap was part of a set of others, each set corresponded to a general idea...<br/><br/>{<i>Excitement! Curiosity.elaboration?</i>}<br/><br/>...that told her nothing. Maybe she'd just...talk to it. Like it was a person. Though with her luck it would turn out to be a biological surveillance device or something along those lines which would hack her mind. God, if this continued she'd end up just as crazy as everyone else here.<br/><br/>""My name is Ryn,"" she said clearly. ""This is some kind of mental hospital. I don't know anything else; I only just got here."" She turned to the other two at the table, about to ask them what they made of it, when the white-haired woman stood up abruptly, knocking her chair over.<br/><br/>When she opened her mouth, Ryn realised the woman was much crazier than she'd thought.<br/><br/>That wouldn't do. She laid a hand on the woman's shoulder. Disrupt brain functions for a bit, allow hospital staff to do the rest–<br/><br/>Ryn froze as the woman's biology snapped into her consciousness. It was different; every part operating at a much higher efficiency than any human she'd encountered. Her first thought was that she'd miscalculated terribly, that another one like her was in this place...<br/><br/>Her next thought, immediately after the first, was that she couldn't influence it.<br/><br/>But she could still shape herself.<br/><br/>The auxiliary mouths grew from her fingers, teeth lengthening as she added keratin from her nails. They stabbed into the woman's skin. Not sharp enough to do serious harm, but maybe enough to bring her to her senses.<br/><br/>""Everyone knows that,"" she yelled. ""Now snap out of it. Can't you see how ridiculous you look?"""

On these worlds are unimaginable numbers of life forms going about their cosmically tiny existences. From this incredible diversity, there are bound to be a few poor souls with an unfortunate combination: exceptional physical or mental gifts… and madness.<br/><br/>It’s not as rare as you’d think for superhumans (or werewolves, cyborgs, deep space aliens, demons, zombies, angels, dinosaurs, and so on) to completely snap under the burdens of their extraordinary lives. Ever wonder what we’d do with Superman if he flipped his lid and started destroying cities? <br/><br/>Two words: Osmond’s Institute.<br/><br/>Thanks to some pretty exceptional, cutting edge, we-might-not-actually-know-how-it-works technology, the Institute is uniquely blessed with the ability to admit patients from all points in space and time. Though we seem to get an unusually large number of patients from Earth-like worlds, more than a few are from distant futures or ancient pasts. Some are completely synthetic, some have synthetic bits. But one thing they all have in common is that their unique talents or abilities make them too dangerous to be housed and controlled on the world in which they originate.</div><br/><br/><b>The Distant Past of Osmond’s and Orrace</b><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Long ago, and less far away than you would think, there was a man by the name of Horatio Osmond. He was a brilliant scientist, and discovered a means of not just interstellar, but <i>interdimensional</i> travel… though it was largely by mistake. Luckily, he wound up in a time and place where he found scientists from worlds unimaginable to you and me, and they helped him perfect the method. He would eventually discover (with their help) how to create an entire dimension, whole unto itself. <br/><br/>It was a very small dimension, to be sure, but basically a perfect replica of a slice of Earth. Initially, Horatio intended to use his creation to house political refugees from a multitude of points in time and space. It was only a matter of months before the entire dimension was nearly torn apart by someone who really wanted a particular asylum-seeker. Since Horatio was a genius and all, he figured that it would be a great cover to open an interdimensional insane asylum in the dimension. Unfortunately, once he opened the asylum and the committed lunatics started arriving, most of his political refugees took flight to parts unknown.<br/><br/>Since that time (several hundred years ago), Orrace has housed both Osmond’s Institute and the town called Orrace. (Nobody really knows why it’s named that. Horatio was a genius, but very odd.) The town is occupied by between 20,000 and 30,000 people. These people are descendants of Institute workers, descendants of the original refugees who didn’t think the mental hospital was bad enough to make them leave, or descendants of recovered mental patients. Though the Institute itself is capable of housing literally all forms of life, the atmosphere and gravity in Orrace’s natural environment is only conductive to beings who can survive in an oxygen atmosphere. As a result, many are human or humanoid: humans, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, mages, paladins, goblins, orcs, trolls, centaurs, minotaurs, and so on. There are also a few dragons, a significant population of anthropomorphic creatures, Elves, fae and faeries ranging in size from less than a foot tall to normal human proportions, more than a couple animals who are capable of carrying on conversations with passersby. They have electricity and sewage, of course. They also have a shopping mall, a hospital, grocery stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants, and several other sorts of places that it’s difficult to explain and more difficult to believe. For instance, there is a Wal-Mart, but it’s a great cavernous place that looks more like an indoor bazaar than the Wal-Marts you see in our dimesion. It sells things like bottled blood, livestock, produce that behaves as if it’s alive, tubes of creams labeled in languages specific to bizarre dimensions, and many similarly strange items. The titles of Orrace Hospital’s doctors are things like Biomechanical Implant Expert, Lupian Internist, and Fae Curse Removal Specialist.<br/><br/>Osmond’s Institute stands on a hill overlooking the town of Orrace. It is probably capable of housing an excess of 2,000 patients, though it appears small. The secret is that a large portion of the Institute exists underground, built downwards into the hill. Many of these levels house life forms that can’t tolerate the atmosphere above. Exactly what technology exists to accommodate these patients is known only to the Institute’s Administrator. This Administrator is always a member of the Osmond family, and the tradition is to pass the position from father to son.</div><br/><br/><b>The Administrator</b><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Not much is truly known about Morgan Osmond among the patients and staff. They know what he looks like: six foot tall, lanky, with dark brown hair and deep, shifting violet eyes. He might have been handsome if it wasn’t for the terrible good humor in his face. It’s not difficult to decide from his word and manner that he’s probably one of the creepiest creepers who ever did creep. Morgan’s job was handed down to him by his father, Milton Osmond, and even though Morgan’s been running the place for nearly seventy years now… he still looks to be no older than his early thirties. It’s only disturbing because as far as anyone has ever known, the Osmond family is <i>strictly human</i>. It’s generally assumed that Morgan is unmarried and childless, as no one in the Institute has ever seen a woman or child in his company. Though it’s entirely possible he has a whole family locked away somewhere in Admin, we consider this <i>highly</i> unlikely.<br/><br/>Morgan rarely leaves the Administration Wing these days. The only time he communicates with staff anymore is to send them handwritten or typed messages to demand that they do some pretty unethical and distasteful things to their patients. All the members of the staff who have spoken out against these new practices have been fired or …worse… simply disappeared. Patients, too, have started disappearing. They mysteriously lose consciousness, never to awake. They’re then transported somewhere into the windowless rooms of the basement and not ever heard from again. When this happens to a patient, nothing is ever said to the patients who knew them, under the pretense that medical information can not be discussed without a release. Staff are told only that the nature and source of the problem are unclear but the Institute’s research team is diligently working on deciphering and rectifying the trend. Furthermore, while a hundred years ago the Institute was turning out at least ten recoveries a year, in the past fifty years only three patients have been released in good health.<br/><br/>Down below, in Orrace, unbeknownst to the patients and staff, rumors run wild about the sudden silence on the hill. After the exodus of staff from the Institute, all contact with the rest of the dimension was cut off. Phone calls to the place always result in a busy signal. The few attempts made to go up the hill and speak with Morgan in person were barred at the first gates by the guards. Three times in the past, things have gotten so out of hand at the Institute that horrors have spilled over into Orrace. The residents of the city are holding their breath, quietly preparing for a fourth storm… one they hope won’t actually come.</div><br/><br/><b>Physical Descriptions of The Institute’s Premises and Interior</b><br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/0fa3f935-8674-433b-b796-5afcb190286b_zpsaf5a75c2.png""/></center><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">A one-lane gravel drive winds back and forth up the hill to get to Osmond’s Institute. For the first half of the journey, the road passes through undeveloped woodlands. At the halfway point a driver will cross through a double line of twelve foot tall chain link fence topped with coils of razor wire. This fence is not visible through the trees from any of the Institute’s windows, though it circles the base of the hill completely. The last third of the trip (and the top third of the hill) have been stripped of the natural forest covering. First there is an eight foot tall hedge, nearly six feet wide. The plant looks like some strange cross of holly, acacia and thistle. (In other words, it’s green and leafy but covered in eight different sizes of thorns and spines.) Next is the ten-foot, ornate stone wall. The wall and hedge also circle the hill and are clearly visible from inside the Institute. Within the wall there is only manicured lawn.<br/><br/>There is a speakerbox and automatic gate at the stone wall. The double gate near the bottom of the hill is guarded by four men, 24/7.<br/><br/>The building itself is surprisingly unimposing. It appears to be at least three stories high all the way around, with a fourth floor which exists only in one area of the building. It is made of a pale yellow stone accented in white, which has grown dingy and chipped over its long years. All the windows and glass look shiny and new, however… and they also have a very subtle but completely effective one-way tint so it is impossible to peer in. The tint is almost impossible to see from within looking out, but some creatures with highly sensitive vision may be able to discern it. The windows also have alloy frames that are basically unbreakable, and shatterproof glass capable of withstanding all but the most forceful attacks.<br/><br/>When a person walks in to the main door of the Institute, they find themselves in a large, empty entry hall. There are skylights in the ceiling, so in at least a few places the building is open all the way to the fourth floor. The floor in this entryway is black and white checkered tile. There are no plants, no reception desk, no guard booth. The front door is not usually locked. The wide double-doors to the right are, however, locked. This is the way to the patient care areas. The ornate oak door to the left is not locked, and just on the other side there is what looks to be a desk for a secretary… though it is usually vacant. From that small reception room three hallways run towards the other parts of the Administration Wing. What’s back there, nobody really knows for sure.<br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/OsmondsInteriorCreepy_zps0d369ded.jpg""/></center><br/><br/>If you could walk through the locked double-doors to the right, you’d be walking into the areas where patients of the Institute spend all of their time. (The patients who can tolerate Orrace’s atmosphere, anyway.) The first floor contains the Cafeteria, the Library, the Gymnasium, the Medication Room and Pharmacy, the Music Room, the Recreation Room, the Great Hall, and the entrance to the Courtyard. The Library and the Gymnasium intrude into the second level, though only accessible from the first floor.<br/><br/>The second floor is the whole of patient housing above ground. The Institute goes a bit further back than one would think looking at it from the driveway. There are 100 patient rooms on that level, though currently many of them are unoccupied. Each room has a closet and a small bathroom with a stand-up shower, toilet and sink. There is a window in each room but curtains of any sort are not permitted. (For patients who need absolute darkness during some periods, the windows are capable of blacking themselves out at a nurse’s direction or on a set schedule.) Windows in the patient rooms are additionally reinforced with titanium mesh. Patients are initially provided with a desk and chair, a twin extra-long bed, an armchair and a small side table. They may request a nightstand and a small bookshelf as well. Specially tailored rooms are available with unique furnishings custom-made to meet the physical needs of unusually shaped/sized creatures… though creatures of extreme size (large or small) are generally housed downstairs and not allowed into the general population.<br/><br/>The third floor contains operating suites, many medical diagnostic facilities, and staff quarters. It is not accessible to patients unless they are accompanied by medical staff. The staff apartments have a living room and kitchenette, a bedroom and a full bathroom. The area containing the staff quarters is separate from medical areas and is accessible only from staff corridors on the first floor.<br/><br/>Within the Institute, a shiny new badge pad system controls access to different areas within the building. All the doors within the patient care area remain unlocked during daylight hours. (Rec Room, Music Room, Caf, etc.) Doors leading into staff corridors and nurses’ stations are locked, as is the door into the front entry hall. There is also a locked room at the very back of the library, tucked into a corner. At nine PM all patient doors lock, and they do not open again until seven AM. Lights are out from ten PM until six AM.<br/><br/>Though all the facilities seem as if they were well-made, it looks as if they’ve been poorly maintained as of late. The lawns and shrubs always look well-trimmed, but nobody ever cuts the grass; that’s the only clue that it’s fake. Inside, the door seals are cracked, the paint is faded or chipping, there are stains on the walls and ceiling, leaks in the pipes just aren’t being fixed, not all of the lights work and many of the door hinges are squeaking and rusty. Most of the staff seem tired, overworked, and generally listless. The patients are often abused by the employees, physically and mentally, and receive quite brutal and dubious “treatments” for their psychological ailments. Despite constant rumors that things were not always like this, conditions have failed to improve and it has generally become a bad idea to discuss such things… and nobody will say why, exactly. Most of the upstairs patients are not generally made aware of how many floors and rooms exist below ground.<br/><br/>Osmond’s Institute has in its possession all of the latest and greatest medical technologies from a vast array of worlds. No matter where your patient comes from, they are capable of supplying homeworld food as necessary, and can synthesize and manufacture effective medications.</div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div>
</div><br/><br/><b>Miscellaneous Patient Information</b><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Some personal articles are permitted to patients; photographs, books made of fire-retardant paper (these are custom-made copies of known works, not books brought from home), sketchbooks and notebooks of that same paper which are not spiral bound, a pen or pencil (This item is kept in lock-up by a nurse and must be checked in and out on a daily basis.), and various other approved belongings. Though patients may not <i>wear</i> any personal clothing, they may be permitted to keep one or two items with sentimental value for display purposes.<br/><br/>Patients are required to wear scrubs in a limited variety of colors. Men are permitted to wear scrubs in powder blue, royal blue, navy blue or red. Women have a choice of soft pink, antique rose, lilac or royal purple. Species which are asexual, hermaphroditic, capable of changing their gender, etc, have the option of white, hunter green, khaki or grey. Other gender/sexual orientations may be assigned other colors as determined necessary by The Administrator. Species of non-humanoid body type, especially those without visible genitalia, may have a wide variety of coverage options based on their anatomy and the customs of their homeworld. <br/><br/>A note on staff dress code: Doctors, Nurses and other staff may wear any color not currently in use by patients. Standard Institute-issue colors available are black, seafoam green, yellow or dark brown. Nurses are permitted to purchase scrubs in Orrace, but must submit them to the Institute’s laundry department to be embroidered with the Institute’s logo and staff member’s name on the left breast or left sleeve (on shortsleeved shirts only).</div><br/><br/><b>Your Character</b><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Now, what you’ve all been waiting for, through my long winded ranting. “But Maiden,” you ask, “who do I get to play?!”<br/><br/>In the strictest terms, Osmond’s Institute is a sanitarium for the supernatural; incredibly strong and seriously mentally ill creatures from all dimensions. To be admitted to the Institute in the first place, your character must meet these requirements: somehow supernatural, and suffering from a serious mental illness or defect. Part of your challenge during this roleplay is to have a mentally ill character who still manages to participate in conversations, Institute-organized events, and to keep track of the subtleties in their own environment. Make no mistake, half the fun of this roleplay is when the patients are pushed past their breaking point and flip out, triggering many of the other patients into flipping out, making the nurses deal with a complete clusterfuck of incredibly strong loonies. The other half of the fun is seeing them overcome their weaknesses and faults, pushed into a strange clarity by their dire situations, and making steps towards recovery through the bonds they form with their fellow patients. <br/><br/>So, you want someone who’s crazy, but a playable sort of crazy.<br/><br/>Next, I strongly encourage you to be imaginative and think outside the box on your character’s race and origin. Part of the beauty of Osmond’s being an interdimensional insane asylum is that it can accept patients from literally any world. You can make up an entire dimension and world to house your character. Though a bulk of our characters tend to come from an Earth very like our own, some of my favorites have come from another universe’s deep space future, or from historical periods. You can literally pick anywhere in space and time as the origin for your PC. Take advantage of it! We get a lot of vampires, werewolves, demons, angels, zombies, cyborgs, and surprisingly enough, humans. Please be aware that I will only accept <b>one</b> of each race in patients.</div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

Abuse of other players will not be tolerated. There is no name-calling, shaming, or intentionally making another player feel bad. We’re here to abuse our <i>characters,</i> not each other.<br/><br/>2. Spamming of the OOC shall be kept to a minimum. I don’t mind a little bit of chitchat among players, but if I see 24 pages of one-line posts going up overnight I will put on my angry face and ban all posts not related to the roleplay. Don’t make me do it!<br/><br/>3. <b>Player Activity</b><br/><br/>Players are expected to post IC at least once every two weeks. It is a slow pace so it must be <i>steady</i> for the game to progress. The post cycle begins and ends with me (Maiden), and I will post once every two weeks on Saturday or Sunday. Players have two weeks from that date to post theirs. If a player misses an IC post cycle, they will get a warning on the OOC. Missing a second post cycle gets them put on an automatic 2 week LOA, and GM will remove their character from play. If the player is still active OOC in this process, the LOA may be modified. If the player is not active OOC, they will recieve a warning PM from me (Maiden) after the second missed post cycle. Failure to respond to this PM within 72 hours will result in automatic ejection from the game. If the player does respond, but does not post within one week of receipt of the message, they will still be ejected.<br/><br/>Players who have been ejected from the game may or may not be allowed to reclaim their previous patients. I reserve the right to make you come up with a new one. They also must post at least once every 3 days in the OOC for two weeks before being allowed to rejoin the IC.<br/><br/>4. Your Game Master has the final say in everything, always. I’m generally open to discussion, but I reserve all my rights to do whatever is called for in the defense of the roleplay.</div><br/><br/><b>IC Rules, Regulations and Guidelines</b><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">1. No God-Modding. Everyone seems to have a different idea about what this term means, so I’ll give you my explanation. You may not, in attacking another character, assume that an attack connects unless you receive the specific OOC Okey-Dokey to do so. If your character delivers a complete beating in a single post, allowing the other player only to write reaction shots as their character gets his or her ass handed to them, you’re God-Modding. If your character suddenly has a universe-ender superpower that wasn’t previously mentioned or even hinted at anywhere, you’re God-Modding. If your character knows something that was mentioned only OOC and he or she has no reasonable way of knowing this IC, you’re technically metagaming but we’ll call it God-Modding for Twisted’s purposes.<br/><br/>2. Be mindful of the storyline. Twisted Redux does have an overall plot, and while I’m not talking about it much OOC, it <b>will</b> develop IC. I find that everyone has more fun if we do most of the plot reveals IC, but it only works if everyone is paying attention. I encourage side storylines but please endeavor to keep them <i>secondary</i>.<br/><br/>3. Players will play their own NPC nurses on many occasions. My first IC post will contain information about the NPC nurses’ appearance and behavior. Characters’ players are generally the best at hurting their characters, so many times your self-played NPC nurses will be the ones delivering medicines and escorting your character to various places around the Institute. Once the characters are familiar with their surroundings the NPC nurse use should drop off and my PC Nurse, Buck, should be able to handle a bulk of the patients’ needs.<br/><br/>4. <b>Ask questions.</b> If there’s anything you’re not sure about, or would like clarification on, please do not assume. All you have to do is ask me, and I’ll be more than happy to make sure you’re perfectly clear on whatever issue it is. Don’t do that ‘better to beg forgiveness than ask permission’ crap. I’m ten times more likely to make you delete/change something if you didn’t ask me about it first.<br/><br/>5. HAVE FUN. If you’re not having fun as a player, I’m doing something wrong as a GM. In the instance you are no longer having fun, notify me immediately so I can collaborate with the other players to figure out what’s gone sour. This also applies to situations where you're struggling to come up with usable material. We've all been bl--cked before (knock on wood) and a lot of the time it helps if you get a fresh perspective from someone else. We're a team here at Twisted! Let your teammates help you!<br/><br/>6. I am not a technical or scientific person. Much of our technology at Osmond’s works only because I say it does. I don’t have the brain power to wrap my head around how interdimensional travel or dimensional creation would theoretically work. (Plus, ain’t nobody got time to try to learn that ish.) You’ll find cloning machines, stasis machines, genetic manipulation laboratories, pharmaceutical testing/manufacture facilities, and similar things in Osmond’s Institute. Again, no idea what sort of pseudo-science is behind these things. If you <b>are</b> one of those technical people who could possibly contribute to scientifically sound reasoning behind Twisted Tech, I would appreciate collaborations and input from you. But don’t just scream that these things shouldn’t work without offering me a better alternative. Please and thanks.</div><br/><br/>** I reserve the right to add/amend the rules as it becomes necessary during the game’s progress. **"
20718,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-14 17:07:00,Maiden,"<center><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/ReduxTag_zps19b042eb.png""/></center><br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/DisclosureTag_zps894efff9.png""/></center><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Once upon a time, Osmond’s Institute was a legit mental hospital. While a bulk of their patients were too ill to ever hope for a full and real recovery there were a few who ‘graduated’ out into Orrace each year. Over the past fifty years, the releases have stopped almost completely. Patient abuse has skyrocketed within the asylum, general regard for the facility itself has dropped off, and the disturbing trend of patients slipping into unexplained and irreversible comas has grown each year.<br/><br/>There are very few staff remaining in Osmond’s Institute who remember what sanitarium life was like fifty years ago, and from that handful are only one or two nurses who are not unfailingly loyal to Morgan Osmond. The history of the Institute isn’t spoken of, or made known to the current patients or new nurses. As far as anybody in Osmond’s is concerned, things have always been the way they are now. And it can be dangerous for staff to suggest otherwise.<br/><br/>Something’s gone sideways at the Institute. The residents of Orrace know this, but none of the patients do. Nobody in Orrace knows just what’s wrong either… only that the complete radio silence is troubling.<br/><br/>Most of the new patients aren’t going to notice at first that this is not how an asylum should operate. They may chalk it up to alien cultures or their own level of madness and strength. Whatever their reasoning, it will probably take them at least a little while to realize that their lives could (and should) be much better. I plan for Buck to be an instrumental part in helping the patients to understand that something is terribly, horribly wrong.<br/><br/>A lot of the storyline rests squarely on Buck’s slender shoulders. He is not immune to the Wrath of Morgan just because he’s my main PC character. His job/my challenge is to help the patients become aware of what is going on and guide them forward without doing anything so drastic as to cause the Administrator displeasure. I intend to have him use subterfuge and manipulation to accomplish his goals… but be warned: Buck may not always want what is best for your particular character and has no qualm sacrificing one to save the rest if necessary.<br/><br/>There are two possible resolutions to the storyline: success and failure. Both could be fun, both could be bloody and violent, but only with one is there potential for a somewhat happy ending. I know you guys can guess who our villain is… but which side will your character take? Morality is relative, you know, and maybe on your home planet what Morgan’s up to wouldn’t be considered such a bad thing. Or maybe you’re chaotic evil and just get off on violence and destruction. Is your character too mentally weak to do much but be internally destroyed by what’s happening to them? Or is your character Superman gone mad, seeing a chance to redeem himself for truth and justice by helping his fellow patients? I’ve set the stage and have clear goals in mind. How this all goes down, however, will hopefully be a harmonious collaboration between seven or eight talented writers and roleplayers.</div><br/><br/><b>Sibling Nurses</b><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Yes, you read this right in the IC. All the male and female NPC nurses have the <i>same</i> face. They are different heights, body types, hair and eye color, but all members of the same gender look like they are from the same family. It may or may not be obvious to your patients at first: since they are sometimes quite different physically, it’s not quite so noticeable that they all have The Face.<br/><br/>For those of you who participated in the first Twisted, you will remember the clone nurses. They were, of course, completely identical to one another. My Siblings are identical (most of the time) <i>just</i> in the facial features. (Sara and Clara, Buck’s redheaded nurses, and Jean’s trio, are the only instances where multiple nurses share the exact same combination of physical features.) The Siblings are more insidious than the Clones ever were, and are burdened with glorious purpose.<br/><br/>That’s all I have to say about that... for meow.</div><br/><br/>* This post will be updated as more plot information is revealed IC."

This looks like a well-developed, thought out roleplay. If you don't mind, I'd like to get ahead of the game and post my character sheet.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<a class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""My Character"" href=""#"">My Character [+]</a>
</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Name: Rhorak ""Rak"" of the Queim family<br/><br/>Species: Shadowborn. Like many on his home world, he has the innate ability to control shadows within 25 feet of him, and to even become one of the shadows. It is extremely difficult for the shadows to leave the ground they lay on, though due to his illness not only can he manifest and move the shadows off the ground, he has control of them from up to 100 feet. Shadowborn look humanoid, however you see them clearer in the darkness. Small tendrils of darkness seem to writhe from them in total darkness, creating a horror-like look to them. Most iconic of them, their 'human' bodies seem invulnerable. The bodies could be stabbed, burned, vaporized, anything. Although they feel the pain of the bodies, the shadowborn's natural form are the shadows themselves. Injury to their representation mean nothing to them, since they endure pain well. However, if the shadow of the body is attacked, usually with weapons that give off light (Fire, electricity, the sort), they can and will be severely incapacitated, and their natural form can't take much damage before simply dying and disappearing into nothingness.<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Age: 23<br/><br/>Mental Illness: Chronic Catatonic Schizophrenia with violent tendencies.. Sometimes you'll see him completely sane, next moment he won't say or do anything, or will stand in a odd position. If anybody tries to disturb him during these Chronic phases, the shadows around him will lash out violently, severely injuring the interrupter.<br/><br/>Appearance: <img src=""http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/284/9/2/r_o_a_r_by_oxygenanddreams-d5c7lo6.png""/><br/>His dark curly hair, slim cheekbones, and his refusal to change his appearance gives him the look of someone younger, but his height of 6'3 and large stature says something completely different. His eyes are his key feature, with them practically glowing light teal, making him stand out in the dark. His dark choice of clothing and his passive look makes him a person easy to walk by and forget, yet a closer look at him would reveal an odd fact about him; light tends to be drawn away from him, as if it was scared of him. If you manage to notice him, it feels impossible to take your eyes off. His loud presence yet silent demeanor refuses to allow your eyes their freedom. To fit in with society, he has learned to hide the tendrils that are revealed in the darkness, yet when unstable they can writhe violently and clearly, even in the midst of day.<br/><br/>He is easily disturbed, but when he is completely at peace, he gives off a whole different look. The chaotic curls of his dark hair seem to fall into a rhythm of being. His striking and piercing jawline seem to soften and look welcoming. Even the studs on his jacket seem to look lighter, almost silky. To complete the picture, a slow smile begins to grow on his face, turning even the most violent of events seem to be a light-hearted dance of blood. Even the institute knows to leave him alone when he is in this mood, since it is so rare, even to the point of stopping ""treatment"".<br/><br/>History: As a child, he has always been the nice kid. As he grew up, it was clear he was a bit odd, but he still got quite along with most people. His control of the shadows seemed to be larger and more powerful, but not enough to warrant worry or fear. This life went on for a long time, until when Rhorak was 17. The political world of the Shadowborn is in shambles, so the day he saw the new president climb the ruined stairs up to present his inauguration speech, and Rhorak felt the tendrils of corruption that was emitting from the seemingly good man, he lost it. A once seemingly sane teen turning into a weapon of destruction, the president had no chance. Large knives, swords, spears, any sharp object, seemed to appear from the shadows of Rhorak, ripping apart the president's body and shadow, and injuring many nearby. He became a fugitive, but his extremely violent powers make capture impossible. Finally, after a few years, he was caught, having a casualty count of hundreds under his belt. After a series of psychiatrists attempting to diagnose him, many having the same fate of injury, it was revealed he had chronic episodes of Catatonic Schizophrenia. It was clear that if he was put in prison, or a mental hospital on their world, more would be hurt. As a result, he was admitted into the Osmond Institute at the age of 20.<br/><br/>Personality: During his episodes, he is extremely mute and antisocial. However he is quite the opposite once they are over. He loves to socialize with the other patients, even to the point of sparking violence from the secluded and dangerous patients. He has no guilt, and will hit on even the nurses, sometimes even succeeding. <br/><br/>Sexual Orientation: Straight<br/><br/>Fears: Astraphobia; fear of lightning and thunder<br/><br/>Capabilities: Able to control shadows and manifest them in a 100 feet radius. Weak-willed people can even be controlled by commanding their shadow to move in a certain way, however most people can resist it. He also has the odd ability to be able to understand who a person really is by physical contact with their shadow or tendrils (If they are Shadowborn), an ability his race doesn't share. Finally,. he can change the tendrils the emanate from him into objects of similar shapes. Obviously, all of his abilities are weakened under bright light.<br/><br/>Miscellaneous: His ""treatment"" room, also where he eats and sleeps, are surrounded by large, extremely bright lights. The room is circular, fitting to his area of control, as to prevent his abilities from having effect. His nurse seems to be Shadowborn as well; she mainly leads his treatment, and uses Shadowborn abilities to do so.<br/><br/>OOC Notes: His trigger is corruption. Although he can have an episode without contact, if he contacts a shadow of a corrupt person, he immediately goes into a violent episode. Be careful when you interact with him. Although due to his nurse always being nearby and preventing him from doing any harm very quickly, if he suddenly goes insane on you, those first two seconds where he isn't being stopped can be rather painful.<br/><br/>
</div>
</div><br/>Also, I am quite a fanatic of the theoretical sciences and technology myself, so if there is question of a science that is clearly impossible (Such as freezing time with objects [Freezing time would be impossible, since if all objects weren't moving at all, the temperature would be absolute zero, freezing everything for eternity]), I will present an alternate solution to said issue (For example, freezing a person's perception of time, giving a similar effect). I love the most odd and exploitable theories, so if I present an alternate theory, it'll be something that can be expanded upon and used in so many ways.<br/><br/>Also, if my character feels surprisingly concise and short, I plan on developing his personality, history, and general info of him as the RP goes on"
20726,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-15 02:49:00,Maiden,"Hello and welcome, Syblyx! Glad to see a new player excited about this roleplay!!<br/><br/>So, as promised, some comments on your character sheet. Overall, I like him, good first impression. Nice choice on the mental illness: we've had schizophrenics before, but never the catatonic variety. The appearance is quite well done, I like the spooky/misty physical presence very much!<br/><br/>I have a few things that I'd like clarification on, if you don't mind. Rak is different than most Shadowborn in that he can control shadows within 100 feet of himself instead of 25. Rak is largely in control of his shadows except during catatonic episodes and when he crosses the shadow of a corrupt man. Are both of these statements correct? Regarding his powers: how does he enable the shadows to physically injure other, non-Shadowborn creatures? How does he give them enough substance/mass/density to puncture a physical being?<br/><br/>Another question I have: if a nurse were to try to sedate Rak, would they succeed if they injected his physical body? Or would they need to find a way to give his shadow the medicine? I have a great idea for helping to control Rak, which involves lasers. As a highly powered/concentrated light, I would think that they could be used to form a barrier he couldn't cross. Since I'm assuming that regular light (flourescent, incandescent, sunlight) has only a weakening effect on him rather than a truly damaging one, would you agree that the more powerful the light, the more potential it had to hurt him? Does that sound reasonable to you?<br/><br/>Now, onto the issues I see with the CS. There are two. First is the size of his room. If it needs to be large enough to house a 100 foot diameter circle of bright light, it would take up between four and six of the Upper Complex patient rooms. Which would probably mean that the Institute would house him in the more spacious Lower Complex. I do have a nice, neat way to resolve this. I asked about the lasers above because I was thinking that there could be a laser grid along his walls in a standard patient room to keep his shadows in at night or when he was wigging out. Or an electrical current in the walls/doors/windows. Since it wouldn't allow him to fully expand his shadows without suffering damage, you'd get the added bonus of him feeling caged/confined in his room. How's that sound to you? The second problem is with his Shadowborn nurse. I know I said that you guys would have NPC Nurses, but I meant nurses that are already existing as staff at the Institute. They'd come into Rak's room with tasers/cattle prods/light sabers/phasers set to stun, of course, and beat him into submission if need be. (That's just how we roll at Osmond's.) So I'm hoping that the assigned nurse won't be a deal breaker, because I can't let you haz. Sorry.<br/><br/>I'm hoping all of these adaptations sound good to you. As always, if you can come up with something that works as well and will be more fun for you, give me your pitch. Although I must say, I'm already sort of attached to the idea of giving Buck a cattle prod. That just sounds like SO much fun!!<br/><br/>Also, sorry if I'm rambling, and for potato. :)<br/><br/><b>P.S.</b>I see you're in Chrono Asylum, too! I played a team on OldGuild, Marc and Lena, I've forgotten what their numbers were and lost the CS in the Guild Crash. Speaks well of you that Xodus let you on board. ;)"
20727,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-15 08:20:00,Syblyx,"I can say without a doubt that I am glad for such a positive response to my character sheet :).<br/><br/>Everything you said about his Shadowborn abilities is true. All Shadowborn, however, can manifest the shadows, but his are more potent. I haven't given much thought on how he does it, and since it is quite late here, I will add detail to the process tomorrow.<br/><br/>I definitely agree with the alternate solution. It works quite neatly, and does solve the issue of room space. However, on the nurse, the reason she is Shadowborn is if he suddenly becomes violent, she can also control the shadows, and force them to unmanifest etc. Also, I thought that one of his treatments could be the nurse using shadows to rip his body apart.<br/><br/>Again, thank you for the positive and detailed response. I had no idea that getting by Xodus was such an achievement. That may go into my signature or something :P<br/><br/>Edit: Sorry, missed one of your questions. Yes, it would affect him, however if he fades into a shadow the medicine would be left a puddle."

Pum is going to re-run Simone, I'm using Buck (but not Remy)... so would you hate me if I said I'm hoping you're re-writing McKenzie? (If it's Clay or Red, that's super cool too though!) I'm so excited that you and Pum are both back!! *does happy dance*<br/><br/>@ Syblyx:<br/><br/>Well, it's not that Xodus is especially demanding or anything, it's just that I consider him a very good writer/roleplayer as well as a friend, and if you're writing with him I'm confident I'd enjoy writing with you too. That's all. ^_^<br/><br/>The thing about<i>how</i>Rak manifests the shadows is only important because I enjoy coming up with credible ways for the Institute to restrain/injure him. This ties in to your Shadowborn nurse, too. If the Institute has a way to deconstruct manifested shadows, possibly because Rak is not the first Shadowborn that's been housed there, then we don't need a special extra nurse to do this. Also, again, we prefer a ""beating the patient into submission"" approach, and would likely just laser the shit out of those shadows until Rak calmed down.<br/><br/>I was about to refuse you the Shadowborn nurse completely, but I came up with a compromise... a compromise I can use later, for my own benefit, that should also be a fun collab for us. First, I am still disturbed by your lack of faith in the ability of the Institute to control their patients. Second, as Rak is more powerful than any of the other Shadowborn on his planet, a Shadowborn nurse shouldn't be able to defeat him on her own... especially if he's in such a state that all of my horses and all of my men can't put him back together again. (Do you see what I'm saying? Your nurse would have to be able to defeat him all on her own, which would make her like a god-level character.) The best I can offer is that the Institute already has a Shadowborn nurse on staff, who works in the Lower Complex, and who will be called in to consult after the first time Buck gets hurt trying to deal with Rak. We can collaborate on a small Character Sheet for her, and take turns writing her. We can discuss privately what my super-secret purpose for her is. ;) Deal?<br/><br/>Also, I just sort of realized that this best-submission crap makes me look like a pompous ass. I don't want to discourage good players from applying because competition stifles their creativity or something. (Also, since I've just auto-accepted two Alumni, it's not really reasonable anymore lol.) I'm in the process of writing the IC opener right now, and will open the IC in six days.<br/><br/>Syblyx, you seem like a reasonable and flexible player, and I like Rak. You're approved. Welcome aboard!<br/><br/><b>Everyone, if you'd like to submit a character sheet, please toss it at me. We have three patient spots still needing to be filled!

20730,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-15 18:22:00,Syblyx,"Alright, I think we have a deal. Whenever I was making the nurse, I wasn't thinking of her as a god-level character, and now that I have given her a second look, I can agree with you. The main reason I was planning for a Shadowborn nurse was I had a huuuuuuuge plot twist in line for her, and I'll PM that to you, but nevertheless you are right. Anyways, I'll get into detail into his manifestations now.<br/><br/>Besides his own shadows, the shadows he controls isn't a part of him. Firing lasers at them would do nothing, since he is only manipulating them (I guess it would prevent him from manipulating them). The more concentrated a shadow is, the more 'energy' it would have. By Rak manipulating the shadows around it, he can crate a dark enough point that the energy is powerful enough to rise off its surface. The point acts as a gateway for other shadows; if he creates the point and shadows pass through it they will be able to separate from the surface as well. The energy from the shadows isn't like electricity, as in by having shadows take energy, the original point doesn't lose energy. It's a bit complex to explain, but imagine a battery with 10V. If you were to use the battery to charge another battery, then it would lose the 10V and the other battery would gain it. However, the way the shadows work, both batteries would have 10V.<br/><br/>The weakness to the solid shadows is that if the gateway point, as I will now refer to it as, is destroyed (With lasers etc.) then all shadows manifested through it dissipate. This could be an alternate way to stop his shadows from damaging others.<br/><br/>Also, I don't have doubt in the Institute punishments. However, without proper precautions, it wouldn't be difficult for him to manifest a spike through another patient before the Institute would be able to shut him down, so I am trying to find a way for the Institute to immobilize him practically instantly. I guess that it may not be my area, so I may leave it to you to find torture methods ;).<br/><br/>Thanks for letting me on board! I can't wait until we start."

It seems like I probably won't even need to go so far as to arm Buck with lasers. If Rak needs to draw upon large numbers of shadows to make some that are really powerful, all I need is a well-lit room. Right? If the only shadow within a hundred foot radius is Rak's own, he's got nothing to draw on. On the flip side of that coin, in complete darkness he's almost unstoppable. Veeeerrryyy interesting.<br/><br/>I'll PM you about the nurse."

<br/><b>Name: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Aniella Kyara Pavia, AKA ;; Nell/Ella/Yari</div><br/><br/><b>Species:</b> Ragdoll <br/><div class=""bb-indent"">The Ragdoll is a species in very close relation to the Zombie, but higher up in the evolutionary chain, with all the mental and emotional capabilities as a human, but a much, much greater physical strength than even the strongest human being, regardless of size, age or stature. The strength of the Ragdoll can be matched on par with that of a humans average perception of a Vampire, when provoked. Temperaments, personalities and attitudes vary exponentially between different Ragdoll's – it is entirely dependant on the person you were before you became a Ragdoll. <br/><br/>That's right; everybody is something before they are a Ragdoll – a human being, to be exact. The chance of becoming a Ragdoll depends on the means in which you die as a human being. Once a person passes away, their souls are passed over, and reborn in another universe; something of a 'nether-world' or a 'nexus', where they are then condemned to live out eternity in this forsaken state. <br/><br/>The Nexus that the Ragdoll's are reborn into is the twin of the Human plane, a supernatural layer over the human one allowing all means of supernatural creatures and incarnations to inhabit. This Nexus is the supernatural world where all of these beings are forced to live out their 'lives'. <br/><br/>You may be wondering “Why is it called a Ragdoll, though?” Well, the answer is simple, the Ragdoll's are Un-dead, patchwork people, and in order to survive, this Species must harvest the skin of other living creatures in order to keep themselves living. Usually, in the Nexus, a Ragdoll would not need to replenish their skin for many months. Unfortunately, the Ragdoll in this story was not so fortunate- Well, as fortunate as you can be as a human reborn as a creature forced to harvest the skin of other creatures in order to survive. <br/><br/>No, the Ragdoll in this story was not reborn in the Nexus, for reasons unknown the Ragdoll in this story was reborn in the plane she was killed in; the human plane. Due to the oxygen and atmosphere density of the Human plane (or at least, this is what it has been chalked up to), the skin of the Ragdoll does not last so long, a few mere days at most. If not replenished soon enough, the skin will rot and fall away, and before long the Ragdoll will incapable of moving, defending itself, but also incapable of dying. When a Ragdoll gets into this state, the only way out of it is for someone else to stitch on the fresh skin for them, which, as you can image, will be near-impossible in the human plane. </div><br/><br/><b>Gender: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Female</div><br/><br/><b>Age: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Died at the age of 18, but has been un-dead for five years – therefore 23 years old. </div><br/><br/><b>Mental Illness:</b><br/><ul><br/><li>Body Dysmorphic Disorder <a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_dysmorphic_disorder"">| x |</a> - Aniella's main point of distress with her body (aside from, obviously, her entire body), is her face; during her dismemberment, she was sliced with a barbers knife from mouth to ear on either side; earning herself a rather horrific 'Chelsea Smile'. Due to her skin needing replenished every few days, it is entirely possible to remove this flaw completely. However, for some reason unknown to Nell, the surgeons at Osmonds find it fitting to ensure that no matter what skin colour she may wear; she will always have her scars, and the only way for her to keep them covered is to cover her face with her hair, as Nurses seem dead-set against allowing her a scarf to hide her face. </li><br/><li>Dissociative Fugue <a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_fugue"">| x |</a> - Ever since being diagnosed with DFS, Aniella has wholeheartedly believed this is the reason she is still alive. The times when she enters the Fugue State can be random, with no apparent triggers or warning bells, however it has been noted that 7/10 when Nell enters this state, it is because her Ragdoll body is going into 'Auto-Pilot'. For her species, the Fugue State acts as a sort of self-preservation technique, where Aniella is no longer aware of what she is doing with her body - this allows her to Harvest the skin she needs to survive without fear or guilt. The Guilt and disgrace upon herself does return as soon as she is relieved of the Fugue state, and this is an incredibly distressing time for Aniella. However, due to being in Osmonds institute, she has had no episodes of entering a Fugue state, and Nell believes this is because she does not have to Farm her own skin, so her body never gets into the 'Danger Zone', if you will.</li><br/><li>Inferiority Complex <a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferiority_complex"">| x |</a></li>- Aniella never, ever, feels herself above anybody. In Nell's mind, she's at the bottom of the bottom of the food chain, the lowest of the low and she has no right to speak or do anything with anybody else. Because of this she finds it very stressful to communicate with other people, and when she can, its always a task for Nell, worrying if what she'll say will offend or hurt someone. Most of the time she will try to keep as unnoticed as possible.</ul><br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/1KXPGt3.jpg""/></center><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Aniella stands at a somewhat average height of 5 ft 4 in and weighs around 8 ½ stone. A key feature of this small-of-stature Ragdoll are her deep, emerald green eyes that, nine times out of ten are watery with tears ready to brim over down her pale, undead cheeks. She has long, mahogany brown hair, which is naturally straight and sleek. Through her life, Aniella has refused to so much as trim it, and never so much more as when she became Ragdoll; using her hair to hide her now-horrific features.<br/><br/>Despite being a Ragdoll, Aniella's natural skin colour is a deep, liquid caramel shade from the years of growing up in the sun. However, because Aniella's skin is rarely her own due to her unfortunate race and affliction; it is impossible to tell what skin type she will wear from one week to the next. It can vary from the dark skins of the African Americans to the pale whites of the English; it is completely by chance of the fresh, bloodied skins that staff stitch onto her. <br/><br/>Aniella has a slightly athletic build due to years of horseback riding and outdoor extra-curricular activities. She is slim, but has quite fair muscle definition on her calves, thighs, upper arms and abdomen; which can be seen on occasion when her skin is left to rot and fall away.</div><br/><br/><b>History: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Born on the 23rd of January, 1990, on a cold winter night in a specially designed birthing room in her home villa, situated just five miles out of the thriving City of Palermo, Sicily, Italy - Aniella Pavia was the first born daughter after two brothers. She was the treasure of the family, a jewel loved by her entire family, and from the day she was born, Aniella was showered in gifts and offerings from relatives around the world. <br/><br/>Aniella has never been short of anything; she's always had everything she could have ever needed, thanks to her highly successful parents. Her mother, a once well established worldwide supermodel, and her father; an General Official in the Italian Air Force. Because of the demanding requirements of her father's job, Nell never got to see him very often. He came home when he could, on holidays, but in her entire life, she's only seen him a total of 40 times - on holidays. Her mother retired from her Modelling job after Aniella was born, finally making the decision to dedicate her time and money to her three children. <br/><br/>Growing up around her two older brother; Gavino - 23, and Nico, 18, people expected her to grow into something of a tomboy. They expected her to be interested in sports and become 'one of the boys'. Everyone had expected that her brother would 'harden' her up, and make her resilient to the outside world. This wasn't the case, in fact it was the opposite. Her brothers protected her from everything - they became her best friends and her body guards. Because of her older siblings, Ella lived a very sheltered and protected lifestyle. She never had any boyfriends, and the friends she did have stayed close with the brothers. <br/><br/>All in all, Aniella had a very good upbringing, she was taught manners and although she always had everything handed to her, she never became greedy, or spoiled. When not in school, she spent her time with her brothers, on their land riding their horses. Private instructors would come twice a week, and she would have lessons in Show Jumping. This was a sport she excelled in, and earned many rosettes and trophies. As well as this, in her spare time she took up what he mother had let go - Modelling. She had the talent, and the face and genes, and to be honest, she enjoyed it. Her reserved personality made beautiful pictures, and her extra-curricular activities gave her something to do other than socializing with other people. <br/><br/>Aniella was a somewhat sociable person, though. Sometimes. While at school she had two close friends, Emilie and Bianca, with whom she spent her break time and lunch with. On occasion they would come around and spend time at her familys villa; but only when they would call and ask to come over. Ella never invited them, she was always too timid. <br/><br/>When Aniella was fourteen years old, she was taken home early from school by her oldest brother, Gavino, and proceeded to return to her room after feeling sick and faint. On her way to her room however, Ella was distracted by sounds from her mothers room. Confused, she investigated, only to find her mother in bed with another man. A man who was not her father. Her shocked gasp revealed her location, and the couple were quickly apart and covered up within minutes. Ella, on the other hand, had fled to her bedroom, to afraid of a confrontation. <br/><br/>Her mother appeared later, and sat with her in her room. Her mother, Gina, explained to the young, shaken up Aniella that the reason for her unfaithfulness was that women had urges - urges that could only be filled by a male. She reasoned that her father was not there to help with the urges and so she had been forced to find an alternate male for the time being. Confused, Ella nodded, wishing the conversation would end, and willing herself to forget she had ever witnessed anything at all. Gina asked for Ella to not say anything, and Ella promptly agreed. <br/><br/>It wasn't until one year later, when Aniella was fifteen years old that her father came home from his placement overseas. He was not an unintelligent man, and it did not take him long to figure out that something was not quite right with his wife. He asked Aniella what was wrong, and too scared to upset or disappoint her father, she revealed her secret about the affair. Her parents were divorced only seven months later. <br/><br/>During the months following her parents divorce, a custody battle took place, and custody was handed to Aniella's mother - due to her fathers career, he was deemed unsuitable to look and care for children. This frightened Ella, as since the revelation, her mother had been cruel to her. She had begun saying things about her, and talking about her to her new boyfriend. <br/><br/>As a form of punishment for revealing the secret of the affair, Aniella's modelling career was put to a stop, and all of her twenty three horses but one was sold to dealers throughout Palermo. Her one and only horse that remained was withdrawn from all it's upcoming competitions and she was restricted to only being allowed to see and ride it once a week, after she had done the work for her new to-be-step father. <br/><br/>It was six months later, when Aniella had just turned eighteen, when the worst hit. Despite her punishments, things had fallen into a sort of routine, and she had adjusted - things were looking up. She was getting on with her life, and looking forward to when she would be able to move out and in with her biological father. However Ella was not destined to be so lucky. <br/><br/>It was May, 2009. Her mother was out, and Aniella was home alone, in the stables with her horse, grooming it for her afternoon lesson. The car that had driven up the driveway had alerted Aniella to the unusual presence, and she had simply assumed it was her instructor come early. Making her way up the driveway, horse in hand, Aniella rounded the corner in time to hear a screech, and to see her mother thrown onto the steps of her home. <br/><br/>The horse revealed her presence within moments, and three large men apprehended her, and her horse; however the horse pulled back, reared up and escaped. Ella wasn't as fortunate, and was pulled into the house with her mother, who, Aniella discovered, was high as a kite. <br/><br/>Her murder was not a swift one, unlike her mothers. It seemed to Aniella that her mother simply fell asleep, however that was most likely the drugs. Ella's sexual abuse and murder was a slow and painful ordeal. Blades were used to cut from the corners of her mouth, right to her ears, and left to bleed. Her limbs were hacked from her body, and dumped in a black bin bag just off the coast of Favignana.<br/><br/>When Aniella awoke, she was confused. She was no longer in Italy, it wasn't until later that she discovered she was in Paris, France. On top of that, she was starving, and after hours of stumbling around, she managed to beg some food from a street merchant. Her body felt different, weaker, she felt sick, and she felt slight lightheaded. <br/><br/>It was two days later when things got even worse for Aniella; her skin began to slip from her body. She would rub her arms, and the skin would flap off with her hand. Panic swept through Ella, and anywhere she turned for help, she was turned away. Unable to speak French, and navigate her way around the strange new City, Nell finally managed to make her way to a Hospital. Doctors and Specialists had no idea what it was that was happening to Ella, at first, they suspected an extremely severe case of Necrotizing fasciitis <a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_fasciitis"">| x |</a> - however the antibiotics proved ineffective and the diagnosis was scrapped.<br/><br/>She was admitted into a private isolation room, and further tests were run. Her case rapidly deteriorated, and after a further day, almost all of the skin on her body was gone. During the following night, however, her primal instinct took over, and she managed to drag herself into another ward of private rooms. Her new-found survival instinct took over, and three people were killed and skinned that night. It took Aniella a further two days to figure out she needed to stitch/staple the new skin to her body in order to survive. <br/><br/>Over the following five years, Aniella managed to find a way to survive - she carried around multiple straight razor barbers knives on her person - which she would use as her main weapon of choice when taking out her victims. The majority of her victims were hospital patients, and homeless people. She managed to find food by pickpocketing and shop lifting from small shops and town marketplaces. <br/><br/>And now for the act that landed her in Osmond's Institute. It was February 12th, 2012. Things were bad for Aniella, she hadn't replenished in about three days; she'd had old reserves, but they lasted only hours - if that on some occasions, and a lot of the time it took that long to sew it on. She was desperate, her primal urges were taking over, she was on a road in what seemed like the middle of nowhere. <br/><br/>She was walking for what could have only been about two more hours when she came across the Holiday Home in Switzerland. There was a school trip, and children were asleep in bed. There were about thirty people all together, and one by one, Aniella went around, one by and one and slit each one of their throats. She had killed 23 people and 4 people were seriously injured that night. Ella had also managed to skin 9 of the children completely before she was discovered by the police and caretakers of the home. <br/><br/>After much deliberation of her case, an anonymous tip sent her on her way to Osmond's Institute.<br/><br/><i>Side note; Aniella never discovered the reason behind her murder. However it was later discovered by the police that her mother was a drug addict, and years behind on payments. Paying with her body was no longer cutting it, and she was given an ultimatum, to pay up or they would take 'other measures'. Initially, they had only intended to kill the mother, and rob the house; however Aniella happened across the situation and they couldn't have any witnesses to the scene.</i></div><br/><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Aniella is an extremely shy and timid young girl, and hates any kind of confrontation with other people, especially men. Before she became a Ragdoll, she wasn't much different. She was more open and social, but since the rebirth, she hasn't had the option to really speak with other people. This is because she's been so preoccupied and self conscious about her body and face, to the point of obsession, that she doesn't like people seeing her, and as a result, hasn't interacted with people much over the past three years.<br/><br/>Despite her extremely quiet and self-hating personality, Aniella is also quite a caring person; or at least, she would be if she was ever given the change. When her urge for skin isn't weighing on her mind, she's generally just a normal person. She used to have friends, she used to do everything normal people did. She can't remember the last time she had a real friend, as she's always distanced herself since her rebirth - however she craves affection and care from anyone, yet she's too afraid of rejection to get close enough to find it. <br/><br/>At heart, Aniella is a scared, lonely little girl with nobody to turn to and nobody to look after her. She had a very brief glimpse of a life she should have lived, parents who should have loved her and crimes done unto her that should never have been done. Nell craves someone to care for her, but is too afraid and too shy to even think about asking. She has been the victim of a cruel world and even crueler people, and then reborn into an even crueler fate. Needless to say Nell has all but given up on hoping for anything better for herself, but deep inside still naively clings to the notion that there are still people out there that may care for her. </div><br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Heterosexual</div><br/><br/><b>Fears:</b><br/><ul><br/><li>Haphephobia – Fear of physical contact <a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haphephobia"">| x |</a></li><br/><li>Agraphobia – Fear of sexual abuse <a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agraphobia"">| x |</a></li><br/></ul><br/><br/><b>Capabilities:</b><br/><ul><br/><li>Super-human strength – Aniella is incredibly strong since her rebirth. She can break bones with a twist of her fingers and lift items ten times her size and weight, not that she ever would, or more appropriately, it would take an incredible amount of confidence and will-power to encourage Nell to do something so drastic.</li><br/><li>Heightened senses – Aniella has the heightened senses of a seasoned predator, she can hear the heartbeat of a creature 200 feet away if listening strongly enough; she can read the body language and vocal tones of people as one would read a book. She can tell the distance of a person by the sound of their footfalls.</li><br/><li>Superhumanly light of foot – having superhuman senses has given Aniella the ability to travel almost completely unheard. It would take someone with equally heightened senses to detect Aniella if she did not wish to be detected.</li></ul><br/><br/><b>Miscellaneous: </b><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Aniella speaks fluent Italian, and her English is broken through years of not using it, she finds it relatively difficult to understand the English language but if she concentrates and focuses she can understand what is being said to her.</div>

Has specialised her power with a connection to the Moon. She is at her strongest when the moon is full, but can also draw a lot of power from things in the natural world that have a connection to the Moon. For example; flowers that bloom in moonlight (such as jasmine, which is more potent when it has bloomed under a full moon), the ocean (as the tides are controlled by the pull of the moon) and wolves (were and non).<br/><b>Gender:</b>Female<br/><b>Age:</b>22<br/><b>Mental Illness:</b>Schizoaffective disorder. Some schizophrenic symptoms such as hallucinations and voices but these occur only during the full moon when her power is at its strongest. The rest of the time her symptoms are limited to severe bipolar and manic depression.<br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b>Tall, slim, in a careful diet kind of way rather than an athletic kind of way. Even before her imprisionment she was not fond of exercise (rather; overfond of naps). She has long brown hair that frizzes in the wet and curls in the damp, which she allows to hang loose and tangle easily though she is careful to comb it out at least with her fingers every morning and evening. Her eyes are pale blue and naturally sharp when it comes to expressing emotions, good or bad. Lanky limbs, rounded hips, and stretch marks from a series of growth spurts that came late because of magical influences and came swiftly because her body realised that it was time to catch up. She never quite grew into the breasts that her hips suggested she would gain, and she was always a little bitter about it when compared to her more voluptuous older sister.<br/><img src=""http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t597/elspethally/the-originals-promotional-photos-51_zps8b47f365.jpg""/><br/>Sasha bears four tattoos on her body, three of them counting as ritual markings from time spent with her coven. One of them is a<a href=""http://www.findembassy.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tribal-crescent-moon-floral-tattoo-tabatha-free-60479.jpg"">crescent moon</a>on the back of her neck that marks her out as a member of her particular Moon Witch coven. A<a href=""http://th03.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/222/b/c/sampaguita_by_getroughedup-d465jww.jpg"">floral vine design</a>that was given to her in a Midwinter festival in which she successfully encouraged a jasmine vine to bloom out of season, wrapped around her left ankle. There is also a<a href=""http://www.tattoobite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/feather-tattoo-on-ribs-for-girls.jpg"">feather</a>on her right side from her sixteenth birthday/first bloodletting ceremony, and<a href=""http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t597/elspethally/blessedmoon_zpsdfef02e8.jpg"">two lines of script in her native Russian</a>along her right wrist.<br/><br/><b>History:</b>Born as the younger of two girls to a human mother and a warlock father. Middle class suburban home, father had retired from practising magic at the behest of his wife and worked four days a week as a labourer. Mother was severely anti-magic, despite the natural talents that both Sasha and her sister showed from a young age, worked five days a week as a primary school teacher and had a reputation as the school staff member with the most complaints from a parent for scaring their child.<br/><br/>Sasha was frightened of their mother, her sister was not. Both parents were born and raised in Moscow, Russia, but migrated to a less strict country shortly after the birth of elder daughter Olga, where Sasha was born three years later. It was the magic that assisted them to make the change and the magic that allowed them to stay unnoticed for many years, although the truth was not known by their mother until after the girls began to take an active interest in the powers.<br/><br/>When she was older Sasha had little to do with her family, choosing to spend time away from them as much as possible to escape the glazed, manic look that appeared in her father's eyes whenever she spoke of magic, and the hateful look in her mother's. Olga also travelled, and usually sent a postcard once a month to Sasha to tell her where she has been. She was there on one of her brief visits when the manic symptoms began to show on a major scale and it was Olga who ultimately contacted the institution about taking her in when she began to be a danger to herself and others because of the erratic form that her magic was taking.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>A harsh mother has given her a harsh temperament, and a penchant for losing her temper in a violent manner. She is patient around the full moon, and restless when it is absent. She has always been an extrovert, thriving when surrounded by friends and fellow witches, so captivity does not suit her. It makes her restless, and bitter, and angry. She is convinced that she is well and so does not see when she is mad.<br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation:</b>Heterosexual. (Insatiable.)<br/><br/><b>Fears:</b>Sunlight. Irrational, yes, but there is a strong part of her that believes that sunlight will physically hurt her if she comes into contact with it. The fear originated with a hex that her witch sister put on her when she was twelve years old, which really did burn her in sunlight, but only for a period of forty-eight hours. The hex was what drove her to specialise in Moonlight and though the fear was not irrational for many years it grew until it influenced her psyche enough to become so.<br/><br/><b>Capabilities:</b>Witch. Basic telekinetic powers and elemental control, strength varying on the strength of the moon. More complicated and complex magic requires incantations and physically constructed spells. The clearer the mind the more effective the spell, drugs and alcohol cloud her and have been known to influence her to miscast or fail entirely.<br/><br/><b>Miscellaneous:</b><br/><b>OOC Notes:</b>"

I should have it done in the next day or so, but will be waiting on the sheets so I can plug in some of the patient's names and specifics where applicable.

And Osmond's making her keep her ""smile"" is a very nice touch. Also, you know I'm fond of fugues. ;)<br/><br/>Far as Nell and Buck, I don't know if you remember, but Buck was really fond of Pumirya's Elsa because she was Italian. (Elsa even had to ask Buck not to call her 'cara'.) Although it wasn't Italy when he was born there, that's where he's from, too. And since nobody speaks Latin anymore, Italian is as close as Buck can really hope to get to speaking his native tongue with someone. He'll probably take an immediate shine to her for that reason alone (just like he did Elsa). I look forward to seeing if he'll keep trying to get her to open up to him, or if he'll just get frustrated and leave her alone.<br/><br/>Also, I gotta say, I can't wait to play Buck without Remy around. Much as I loved the Big Guy, I never interacted with the rest of you as much as I should have because I was too busy with what was going on between the two of them.<br/><br/>Sooo I guess it's time for me to go get some more work done on the IC.

I'm mostly wiping the slate clean, though there are some instances where I'm transplanting the happenings of the previous Twisted further back into the current Twisted's past.

It wasn't even particularly scary - just revolting, made you want to gag. I don't remember everything, but basically Kidney was a french man in the asylum, and his ability was something to do with eating & regurgitating his hair and using it as a weapon to infect and manipulate people. He managed to ''infect'' the town and many of the patients and tried to take over the Town/Asylum, turning people into these like, horrible, disgusting zombie things that reproduced disfigured creatures that became his minions. It affected a lot of the characters and led to one of my own's death in the end.<br/><br/>I've likely got a few of the details wrong here, so please do correct me Maiden or Pum if I'm wrong - it's been a long time and I've more than likely gotten mixed up somewhere.

Kidney wanted to escape, and not just Osmond's, he wanted out of the<i>dimension</i>. He infected patients and staff with a sort of magical bio-weapon, (he used<i>all</i>his bodily fluids to do this) and then mutated them into pink, mushy, shapeless zombies that destroyed everything. They broke out of the Institute and started infecting Orrace. Buck almost died, I wound up pulling a deus ex machina with Remy to save Buck's life, Anna did die, and Kidney only failed because Morgan basically said he'd rather die and see the dimension destroyed than to let Kidney out. So Kidney killed himself... in a unique, graphic, especially disturbing way. We tactfully marked his tombstone as ""Death During Takeover Attempt"" or some such. It was graphic, brutal, and so totally repulsive that I had to open up my thesaurus to find more words to describe the level of gross Kidney operated on. (There isn't one.) It was the worst, and yet some of the best, of Twisted. Pocru (Kidney's player) was a sick f--king puppy.<br/><br/>Good times, man, good times. Yes, I miss being able to go back and read it. Le sigh.<br/><br/>But, now that I think about it, Kidney's attack is probably the only thing I'm going to keep around, and it's really not important except to signify that the people in Orrace aren't exactly safe from shitstorms on the hill. (Also because I'm too lazy to go back and write such a thing on my own: why do that when I can just borrow Kidney's story? I'm sure Pokey wouldn't mind...)<br/><br/>Oh, no, wait, I forgot! There's one more thing I'm keeping. But it's a surprise. ;)"

On days near his birthday he often sees things that aren't real.</li><br/><li>Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - Ever since losing his sister to a house fire he has never been able to forget the screams.

He often keeps a perpetual facade of swagger to his step with a devilish grin to match. His eyes are a deep forest green, their color only brightened by the dark tint that encircles his eyes from the restless nights. His skin is warmly tanned and without a blemish. Golden blonde waves of hair fall neatly down to his shoulders with few strands scattered in front of his face. He often keeps a well kept stubble of hair on his face.<br/><br/>On days when the voices are especially strong it is rather apparent. His eyes almost seem hollow and stare mindless at random things as if lost within his own mind. He becomes sluggish and it becomes exceedingly difficult to hold his attention. His hair is often tangled and messed, mostly from holding his head to try and silence the voices. He facial hair becomes unkempt and shaggy, course from being unwashed. During these times he tries to stay out of sight, mostly staying in his room or off in the shadows where it is hard to notice his episodes.<br/><br/><b>History:</b><br/><center><b>~My Story..</b></center><br/>""I was born a normal lad you see, to an Irish mother and Italian father on March Thirteenth, 1930. My mother came down to Sicily with her parents, my grandparents. They were traders with rare goods. There she met my father. I remember when they told me the story as a boy that theirs eyes met and that was the moment they knew they were meant to be. They were always a happen couple, always dancing every night after dinner when they thought I had gone to bed. When my mother got pregnant with my baby sister, Emilia, that was a truly happy time for them. They said they always wanted another child so I would not grow up alone. You see, I knew my parents loved me. I never took a moment to question it. But when Emilia came along I could tell how much they loved her, more than they loved me. I knew that and I understood. Emilia had a way about her, even as a little baby the way she smiled at you and held your finger made you feel special. I was five years old when she was born. When she was just an infant I had gone to a book store. I was looking for something I might learn to keep Emilia entertained whenever she got fussy; I hated it when she cried. That's were I found this little magic book. It was no more than fifty pages long filled with more illustrations than actual words. The first trick I learned was a simple card trick. I was terrible at it but Emilia loved it anyway, though she was only a baby she watched the trick with amusement and delight. I got better, showing Emilia my progress every step of the way. I went to the book store once a week trying to find a new book on magic tricks so Emilia (and admittedly myself) wouldn't get bored.<br/><br/>""The next few years as she grew strong enough to play I brought her all around the Island, showing her all my favorite spots and even some of my hiding spots that I hid candy I bought from the money left over from buying my magic book so mother wouldn't see. I could never deny her when she asked for a piece of my chocolate."" He trailed off, his gaze drifting off as if lost in a memory. A sad smile touching his lips.<br/><br/>His gaze snaps back to those who were listening, the smile gone now. ""Anyway. Two years later she died. Somehow the house caught fire in the night. It started in my sisters room. By the time we woke up the door was engulfed in flames. My mother tried to run into the room but my father knew it was too late. He pulled her screaming from our house. I still remember the screams that woke me that night. '<i>Fratello! Il fratello salvami! Ho paura! Fratello!</i>' Which means, 'Brother! Brother save me! I'm scared! Brother!' But I was too scared to pass the flames. I woke up my parents who were down the hall. But by the time we got back her voice was gone. Nothing but the crackle of burning wood and my mothers choked screams.<br/><br/>""It wasn't even a week before my mother took her life. Unable to live without her daughter or look at the man that kept her from saving her. I think my father was too drunk to even notice she was gone to be honest. I was taken to a foster home that night. It was raining that night, it nearly ruined my magic cards. I spent hours drying them off and trying to keep them from warping. They were Emilia's favorite kind of trick.<br/><br/>""Years later and still in foster I can continued my magic practice every moment I wasn't doing school work or cleaning up the home with the other children. I had gotten rather good with cards. Easily able to do advanced tricks that most adults couldn't even attempt. It was my obsession. For some reason I knew Emilia was watching, from somewhere, and I wanted to make her smile the way she did when I came home with a new trick. It was rather easy to practice when I couldn't sleep at night because of the nightmares.<br/><br/>""When I turned eighteen I moved out of the foster and traveled, around Sicily at first, doing tricks for whatever change people would throw my way. I eventually made my way to England. Learning English wasn't too difficult. I had a rather sweet set up in England. It is where I got my name 'The Grinning Jackal' from, because of the large hat I wore covered my eyes and all anyone could see with my large grin. Far more people were amazed and intrigued by my magic shows then they were in Italy. I was able to afford a nice room in a local Inn most nights. But eventually a ran out of things to learn. That terrified me. If I had nothing new to learn I had nothing new to show Emilia. If I had nothing new to show Emilia she would leave. I knew she would.<br/><br/>""But one day scouring through book store after book store I happened upon an old book bound in cracked and worn leather. Pressed into the leather it said '<i>Real Magic</i>'. I thought it was just a ploy, a gimmick to get your attention. Though I bought it anyway. I had never seen the book before so it was possible to have new tricks. As I read through the book it wasn't filled with tricks, but a formula and ritual to attain real magic. I tried not to think about it, but the fear of Emilia leaving became more and more crippling. I went mad, I would try anything to keep my baby sister with me. Even if it were only some feeling in the back of my mind that she were actually there.<br/><br/>""I followed each step. It required a lot of blood. At first it was rather small things to be sacrificed. Bunnies, goats, things of that nature. But the last ingredient was the human heart of a Holy man. And it had to be on my birthday. Something to do with the cycle of my life and being reborn in magic. Something to that effect, I do not recall entirely. What I do remember, very vividly, were the mans pleas. He spoke of God before he went silent.<br/><br/>""After I ate his heart I convulsed and before I knew it I was home, drenched in blood a week had past. It took hours to wash the tint of red from my skin. I began to notice something different about myself though. I felt surges of energy coursing through me. It was like a bolt of energy struck me and I was left with the sensation still rushing through me. It took a while to actually harness the powers I had been given. I slowly began to control it and learned of a way to create illusions. I learned to cast these Illusions on myself. I brought Emilia back. She was there before my eyes, I held her hands and saw her smile again. But then I noticed the strange occurrences that happen in an illusion. It's always different from each illusion, the stronger the illusion the more subtle the oddity. When I first brought Emilia back it took me awhile to notice but my room had no ceiling. I was too entranced by the fact my sister was back. But once I noticed the oddity it all vanished. I was once more alone in my room. I tried my hardest to get the illusion back but I was too emotion and unstable. I couldn't focus enough to refine the illusion enough to work.<br/><br/>""As the rest of the year past on I grew stronger. But the stronger I grew I began to notice a voice in my head. It was quiet at first, I thought it was just my conscious the first few times I heard it. I later found out it was getting closer to my birthday. That was the reason the voices were coming. Little did I know at the time that the ritual to attain my magic was actually a soul binding curse. Made by an old, evil wizard who gained his powers through eating human hearts. When he grew old with age he created a book, the book I bought and used. It was a ritual to bind his soul within my own. I would gain his powers but he would always be there in my mind. Edging me to do his bidding. I often have little trouble refusing his demands though as the years go on his will gets stronger. Emilia helps settle my mind, silence his screams.<br/><br/>""The last thing I remember before getting locked up in this... Hell. I was out on the streets of London, late at night. Coming home from getting a meal. I heard a scream, it sounded like a young girl. Without a thought I ran to it. I found a hunched over something, or rather, someone. I pulled the man up and threw him against a wall. It was a young girl, her clothes torn and her face beaten in. Her hair was Golden blonde, faintly curled.... Just like my Emilia's. It all became blurry after that. I remember the color red. It was everywhere. I remember the sound of the guards yelling for me to stand down. To not resist. But I am sure I did. I eventually blacked out entirely. Whenever I use to much energy I pass out. My body can't take the full power I have being used at one time. I woke up strapped to a bed getting wheeled down these halls with a strap around my mouth to keep from using my magic. And that's my story... Now you understand Who I am.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/>Dante, when not out of his mind, is a rather charming smooth talker. Spending his life as a street performer has given him some rather alluring social skills. He has little trouble making friends with his foreign accent and dashing grin. He is generally a kind man though if he had to pick to save himself or someone else, it would always be himself. He loves playing games and giving people a show.<br/><br/>When he isn't exactly right of mind he is rather closed off. Often time he comes off as erratic and unable to set at ease. He often hides in the shadows, avoiding eye contact at all costs. He has been known to cast a wide net of Illusion to make it so people can't see him. Often shuffling through the motions with hollow eyes, fixated on nothing as if lost within the own caverns of his mind. He is known to answer questions no one asked, as if talking to a voice in his head. Because, he is actually talking to a voice in his head.<br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation:</b>Heterosexual.<br/><br/><b>Fears:</b><ul><br/><li>Young girls with golden blonde hair. They incite memories of his little sister which often leads to violent episodes.</li><br/><li>He is afraid of blood and will do nearly anything to get away from it. It excites the voices in his head.</li></ul><br/><br/><b>Capabilities:</b>*Note, His more difficult spells needs a verbal queue. Could be anything, even something nonsensical. Only that it has to be verbalized.<ul><br/><li>Creation - Dante being a magician can nearly create anything his mind can envision. Though his creations can be very much real they are not nearly as strong as their counter part. the more complex the creation the greater knowledge Dante needs on the object. He wouldn't be able to make a gun for he has little knowledge of their intricacies.</li><br/><li>Manipulation - This particular brand of magic allows Dante to change an items physical shape. Changing a block of iron into a dagger and so forth.</li><br/><li>Illusions - Dante excels with illusions and tricks of the mind. Making someone see what he wants them to see, without them even noticing. The only way to break free of his illusion is to know it's an illusion. The person under the illusion has to actually notice something that isn't right, notice something that would give them not even the shadow of a doubt that what they were experiencing wasn't real.</li></ul><br/><br/><b>Miscellaneous:</b><br/>He often plays with a deck of cards more often then not. They keep him calm and help me focus on something other than the voices.<br/>When he is in his room he would seem to be alone doing tricks as if someone were there watching. This is often the case when he puts himself under an illusion to see Emilia so he can show her magic tricks.<br/><br/><b>OOC Notes:</b><br/>Will add to this as things come to mind."

20756,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-18 05:45:00,Maiden,"Okay, guys, I have to do something about something. I did not expect that this game would generate so much interest, both from new players and from Twisted Alumni. I had originally intended for there to be six patients, six players, and me with Buck (and Jean as I needed her). Currently, I have two accepted patients. Pumirya has the immensely honorable designation of being the last active player on the old thread, and so has an irrevocable pass to play basically whatever character he wants. I'm just waiting on him to make a selection and get it posted. I trust he'll have it done in time for the opener.<br/><br/>That means there are three spots still open as I'd originally intended the game. I have five players who have expressed interest in these places, and thus, a dilemma on my hands. (Curse you, Past Maiden.) I've spent a lot of time thinking about it, and I'm leaning towards allowing us to start with eight patients instead of six. I have reasons... long, rambling reasons... and if you want to read them, I'll post them. Otherwise, I'd just as soon save the time and get to the point.<br/><br/>More players will mean more reading and more characters to keep track of for everyone involved. It can get a little confusing when all the patients are in one room. The only reason I've got left to keep my original character limit is that some of you might feel overwhelmed keeping up with such a large thread, especially since it is Advanced and many of the posts are longer.<br/><br/>So, I need all the interested players to weigh in. Counting myself, and assuming that everyone submits a quality character sheet in the remaining time allowed, (March 21, when the IC starts!) that will be nine players instead of seven. So long as everyone else is okay with that...<br/><br/><center><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/LoLAllowIt_zps5fe39d43.gif""/></center><br/><br/>If you don't want to cast your vote here, you can PM it to me."

20759,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-18 06:11:00,Syblyx,"I've roleplayed with so many people that limits almost seem hilarious to me. The best part about RPing is the characters, so the more the merrier! If the vote is to decide whether we allow everyone interested in, then I say full steam ahead! If I were in your position, here's how I would do it: By March 21st, or in 3 days (It just turned 1AM here), all the characters completely finished, no revisions done, are in. If a person needs to get their character revised, but they didn't make the IC deadline, then I'd throw them. Although I want to see as many RPers as possible, I only want to see the dedicated ones. If you aren't dedicated enough to finish a character sheet in three days, when I finished mine in an hour, then I don't want to have to plan the plot to explain why so-and-so character dropped out. Only commit if you plan on going through all the way, alright? No shame in dropping it now.<br/><br/>tl;dr, If all the people interested so far finishes by the IC post, they are good. No new people besides those, though. We are too close to the deadline for that.<br/><br/>And yes, I am Russian. Technically not born there, but that's where my heritage is. Though I don't have the look for it, people always give me an odd face when I tell them that. ""Are you sure? You don't look Russian to me. Maybe you're wrong.""

Intertwined in glowing, beautiful markings, Dreamweavers generally have a float-y and birdlike look to them, seemingly incorporeal and capable of dissolving at the lightest of touches. As their name suggests, Dreamweavers are capable of manipulating dreams for their own uses, though it’s more of a tradition-based ability rather than having practical use.<br/><br/>On the contrary, they do not sleep. The weaker beings, with less and fainter markings, will fall into a peaceful trance, something akin to humans’ sleeping. The particularly skilled Dreamweavers will have parts of their skin covered in these markings, dulling in color when they draw off their internal energy reserves. In turn, the purpose of these markings is to subtly draw energy off of the surroundings, during which they glow brightly, making the entire process something like charging. Therefore, stronger Dreamweavers need no sleep and can function for years on end without the need for falling into the trance, instead simply drawing energy off their surroundings. Though their home planet is technologically advanced, there’s not enough energy to sustain them all and the absorption rate is lower, making the trance essential. In the human world, however, as humans don’t draw energy in such ways, there is plenty.<br/><br/><b>Gender:</b>Female.<br/><br/><b>Age:</b>Twenty-one.<br/><br/><b>Mental Illness:</b><ul><li><i>Nightmare Disorder:</i> Anya suffers from an extreme case of Nightmare Disorder for reasons unknown.

It is because of this that Anya relives her nightmares even while awake, though it's not as common. Whenever this happens, it severely impairs her sense of normalcy and it reduces her to a paranoid, delusional mess.</li><br/><br/><li><i>Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED):</i> A direct result of her nightmare disorder and psychosis. Anything random can trigger an episode of rage, often disproportionate to the situation, contrasting with her friendly personality. Nurses are careful not to mention certain things such as her nightmares and her home world, as to avoid her extreme and immediate wrath. It's still unknown why she has developed this disorder, especially as it's triggered by things other than her other disorders. The sweet, somewhat likable girl disappears and is replaced by a raging inferno that can suddenly disappear like it was never there.</li></ul><br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><a href=""http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/152/0/d/0d0044880080f1e1225aae6dbf987cfa-d51wpxr.jpg"">Anya</a>doesn’t like sleep. Due to staying up for days on end, Anya’s once healthy skin now has a pallid look to it coupled with dark eyes and a perpetual exhausted look. Her eyes are almost always glazed over and staring at something others cannot see, an obvious sign that she’s ‘not really there’, so to speak. Dreamweavers don’t exactly have normal eyes; the iris is more mist than anything else, giving them a cloudy look. Anya has often been mistaken for blind when she can see perfectly well. Her hair is dark and flows almost like water, a trait brought over from her Dreamweaver form. She stands at approximately 5’4, her body structure being proportionate and somewhat lean.<br/><br/>In her<a href=""http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/073/2/3/iris_by_rozennilliano-d5y0jfp.jpg"">Dreamweaver form</a>, Anya has a more bird-like appearance with several feathers in her hair that are obviously a part of her and growing on her head. Her eyes become cloudier and brighter; her body is lighter and her stature taller. Due to her sleepless nature, Anya has a gaunter look, appearing more frightening than ethereal. The skin on her shoulders, arms, legs, back, abdomen and the left side on her face is covered with<a href=""http://th01.deviantart.net/fs19/PRE/f/2007/284/4/f/4f1648f864bae54f.jpg"">Dreamweaver markings</a>, all a dull hue of lavender-blue that, when ‘charging, explode outwards in a golden glow. The markings on her skin are the only part of her that remain on her body at all times, no matter the form, remaining on her even as a human. They’re mostly swirls and other such symbols of the Dreamweavers, spaced out across her skin.<br/><br/><b>History:</b>Anya was born in her home world’s capital, Syrron, to two fairly normal middle-class parents. Being brought up in one of the most technologically advanced megacities, she got used to the low energy output of the surroundings. From the age of four, she needed to fall into a trance to get her energy levels back up. But something strange was happening: it was as if she fell into a coma every night, her body dead to the world but her mind awake, seeing things that no one ever should. Terrible, horrifying things plagued her every time she lay down to sleep. And so she screamed, and screamed, and screamed. But it never got rid of the nightmares.<br/><br/>It was like that every single night. Entity after entity would plague her for hours on end, refusing to release her from their grip until they were done breaking her mind. She stopped sleeping, staying up for hours on end. She couldn’t talk coherently, only vague babbles of ‘monsters, demons, demonic faces, voices’ amidst tears coming out of her mouth. The Dreamweavers assumed she was possessed by a demonic entity but couldn’t do anything about it – so the nightmares recurred. Again and again until she lost it, literally.<br/><br/>In an attempt to restore her normalcy, her parents made the risky decision to send her to school. Anya coped fairly well, until she fell asleep in class one day – really, it wasn't entirely her fault, it was the rather boring professor that droned on and on – and saw a horrifying vision of a demonic entity. Her screams alerted the whole school of her disorder and it wasn't until her alarmed professor shook her awake that she stopped screaming her lungs out. When she regained her senses, Anya looked up into the face of the same demon looking down at her. Her fellow classmates' concerned faces melted away into the background and Anya had a fit, lunging towards the professor in an attempt to get rid of the demon. One gouged-out eye later, Anya was expelled.<br/><br/>Fed up with the psychotic, screaming mess that was Anya, the Dreamweavers debated on what to do. She couldn’t be approached or let out in public as she automatically drew anyone and everyone into dreams. As nightmares were the only thing she had ever experienced, the dreams she projected to others were equally horrifying, scarring most of for life, some never recovering. Anya was dangerous, reckless, hysteric and a complete mess, unable to discern reality from fantasy. Everyone and everything was a ‘demon’ to her, voices were everywhere, her screaming voice filled every corner of the isolated house they kept her in.<br/><br/>The house she was kept in was more of a mansion, belonging to a high-class family that had generously offered the empty house as a makeshift institution where Anya was the only patient. It was a traumatic experience, seeing as the house wasn't exactly built for a hallucinating Dreamweaver with zero control over her powers. She was given freedom to roam around the house but two weeks after arriving at the house, Anya shut herself into a tiny dark space and refused to come out. The caretakers searched for days on end, looking for a sign of the disturbed girl. It was only six days after she disappeared that they found her, following the screams that came from a tiny broom cupboard. She had fallen asleep after six days of staying awake, giving her position away. Even so, she protested violently as she was led out of the cupboard and into the hallways. Anya didn't reply when asked why she'd locked herself in a broom cupboard, only looking away and singing softly to herself.<br/><br/>A year or so after her solitary confinement, the caretakers were getting fed up of Anya as well. Most of them resigned, leaving only two to look after the elusive girl. One caretaker disappeared one sunny morning and another year later, long after Anya was gone, his charred remains were found in a ditch a few hundred meters away from the mansion. The other caretaker remained alone, trying and failing to keep the girl under control. One night, however, changed everything.<br/><br/>The caretakers had been instructed upon arrival not to bother Anya in the middle of a nightmare unless properly trained and equipped. However, unable to stand the screams, Anya's caretaker shook her awake. Anya's eyes flew open, only to see the monster that had been relentlessly torturing her right above her, in reality. In response, Anya accidentally conjured a fireball as a panic response and incinerated the caretaker. The house exploded into a fiery inferno. Anya stumbled around in the hallways, choking on the smoke that was filling every corner of the house every second. Thankfully, the authorities arrived before Anya could suffocate and pulled her out, only to plunge her right into court. She was put on trial for arson and destroying priceless heirlooms and artifacts. Her lawyer argued that they shouldn't have been there anyway when they knew there was a mentally unstable girl around. She was excused on an insanity plea, and forever labelled as a menace to society. Interestingly, the owners of the house were found dead right after the trail. When asked why she hid away in closets so much, Anya finally gave a proper answer.<br/><br/><i>""I could hear the walls. I could see the paintings look at me, judging me, waiting to slit my throat while I sleep. The house was alive. Everything was alive, laughing at me for my naivety. I could feel them reaching out when I lay in bed at night, grasping at me with tendrils itching to strangle me. They wanted me dead, to steal my life away. But you know, they never found me in the closet.""</i><br/><br/>In the end, the Dreamweavers decided to dump her in the human world. Upon arrival at Osmond’s, it was exact same thing. The institution was warned of her uncontrollable ability and was told not to look her in the eye as they led the hysterical Anya down the hallways. She was immediately placed in solitary confinement, away from everyone else. However, as a form of gratitude, the Dreamweavers sent a pair of cuffs that could limit Anya’s mental output, rendering her mostly harmless, apart from the random displays of violence and screaming. The cuffs were practically unbreakable and Anya was moved back into a normal ward following the change.<br/><br/>In the human world, Anya could and still does draw energy from the surroundings. The Dreamweavers thought that once she started doing that, her need for that strange type of sleep would cease. However, it didn’t. Anya automatically falls asleep, for reasons unknown. All night, her screams reverberate across the entire floor.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>When one first looks at Anya, they'd most probably assume she was just as crazy awake as she was asleep. She's afraid of so many things, often staring at the walls as if having a conversation with them. Anya sings to herself a lot, a variety of songs in the Dreamweaver language that are somewhat soothing yet cheerful. She's afraid of her own shadow and seems completely and utterly loopy to the observer. At one moment, she's spouting complete nonsense about light bulbs being put on the ceilings to intentionally kill them all and the next, she puts forth philosophy that's entirely logical. Her morals are, at times, completely wrong but with her persuasive 'philosophy', one can assume she's right. At least in her own mind.<br/><br/>While she seems socially withdrawn and awkward, it all evaporates away when she's approached by someone. Anya is a natural social butterfly, and a talkative one at that. She's sweet, cheerful and to an extent, caring when normal. She's a person who loves company, talking, smiling and unless you're something that appears in her nightmares, she wouldn't hurt you intentionally. She loves laughing and is generally happy and stupidly optimistic. However, if one is perceptive, they can tell that there's something seriously off about Anya. Logically, she shouldn't be the 'sunshine and rainbows' person that she is. There's something wrong about her, something underlying that even Anya can't put her finger on.<br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation:</b>Heterosexual.<br/><br/><b>Fears:</b>Anya has a long, long list of fears, but few are stronger than her fear of the uncontrollable. It drives her absolutely crazy, sending her into fits of hysteria that do not die down very fast. To Anya, uncontrollable things are unacceptable; she needs to know that everything is under control and safe. Another fear is her fear of large, open spaces with nowhere to hide. It’s a bit unconventional and even her own people don’t know where this fear came from, nor does Anya.<br/><br/><b>Capabilities:</b><ul><li><i>Sensory Deprivation:</i> One of the Dreamweavers’ primary abilities is their sensory deprivation. Upon eye contact with Anya, the senses of the target rapidly get inhibited to the point where their body's sense of sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing and balance are completely cut off, two or three at a time at most. It takes a minute or so to fully affect the body, yet it numbs the target to the point where they simply cannot sense anything.</li><br/><br/><li><i>Illusions (Dream Projection):</i> The Dreamweaver's signature and well-known ability is to use ‘dreams’ while the target is awake, inducing illusions where everything feels real but obviously isn’t. It deceives the mind into thinking that everything Anya directs at them is real, thus falling into an illusion of Anya's thoughts and dreams. The illusions are entirely realistic, even the sense of touch reigns as it can be used to cause pain. As it’s considered quite dangerous, she was kept in solitary confinement until her home world sent over technologically advanced <a href=""http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6479/coude.jpg"">cuffs</a> that do not allow Anya’s mental capabilities to surpass those of an exceptionally intelligent human being, hindering her ability to project dreams. The cuffs glow blue when she's attempting to project her dreams into others' minds, most often unintentionally, and are simply a dull grey when inactive.</li><br/><br/><li><i>Telekinesis:</i> The actual ability of the Dreamweavers (only approximately a quarter are born with this ability) is the ability to ‘will’ objects to move, called Telekinesis in the Human world and Inner Will in the Dreamweavers' world. The Dreamweavers use this for only one purpose: fire. Though it can be used for other things such as basic Telekinesis, Dreamweavers have an affinity for creating fire over the generations. By exciting atoms, they create fire. However, while Anya alright at basic Telekinesis, using it for kinetics at a molecular level is much easier. At times, creating fire is purely accidental, most often in tandem with her IED fits of rage. However, as fire is uncontrollable, it tends to scare her.</li></ul><br/><br/><b>Miscellaneous:</b><i>Theme Song:</i><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j44brOxb4Q"">Audiomachine // Prelude of Dreams</a><br/><br/><b>OOC Notes:</b>-"

Weight: 114LB.<br/><br/>Race: Created werewolf hunter with chiropteran features.<br/><br/>Additional notes: Simone appears to be human other then her slightly pointy ears. Simone is capable of shape shifting into a bat like creature while retaining such hums traits as the ability to speak, ability to reason, walk upright and specific to each individual hunter, eye colour. Simone has waist length silver coloured hair and carmine coloured eyes.<br/><br/>Sexuality: Undetermined<br/><br/>Origins: An alternate earth. Setting: Late 20th century equivalent.)<br/><br/>Mental Afflictions: Simone suffers from the following. Adjustment disorder, psychogenic fugue, Brief Reactive Psychosis episode, Nightmare disorder, Oneirophrenia, Parasomnias and, to date, one full psychotic breakdown and Psychosis. Additional notes below.<br/><br/>Adjustment disorder (AD) is a psychological response to an identifiable stressor or group of stressors that cause(s) significant emotional or behavioral symptom(s) that does not meet criteria for anxiety disorder, PTSD, or acute stress disorder... This is different from anxiety disorder, which lacks the presence of a stressor, post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder, which usually are associated with a more intense stressor(s). Its common characteristics include the following.... mild depressive symptoms, anxiety, traumatic stress symptoms or a combination of the three<br/><br/>Brief Reactive Psychosis..., referred to in the DSM IV-TR as ""Brief Psychotic Disorder with marked stressor(s)"", is the psychiatric term for a psychosis which can be triggered by an extremely stressful event in a patient’s life... Brief Reactive Psychosis is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, catatonic symptoms, and strange speech, but the symptoms last for a short period (one day to one month) after which the individual returns to normal.<br/><br/>Nightmare disorder, also known as 'dream anxiety disorder', is a disorder characterized by frequent nightmares. The nightmares, which often portray the individual in a situation that jeopardizes their life or personal safety, usually occur during the second half of the sleeping process, called the REM stage.<br/><br/>Oneirophrenia is a hallucinatory, dream-like state caused by several conditions such as prolonged sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, or drug(s) (such as ibogaine)... From the Greek words ""ὄνειρο"" (oneiro, ""dream"") and ""φρενός"" (phrenos, ""mind""). It has some of the characteristics associated with schizophrenia, such as a confusional state and clouding of consciousness, but without presenting the dissociative symptoms which are typical of this disorder. Persons affected by oneirophrenia have a feeling of dream-like unreality which, in its extreme form, may progress to delusions and hallucinations. Therefore, it is considered a schizophrenia-like acute form of psychosis which remits in about 60% of cases within a period of two years. It is estimated that 50% or more of schizophrenic patients present Oneirophrenia at least once.<br/><br/>Parasomnias are a category of sleep disorders involving abnormal/ unnatural movements, behaviors, emotions, perceptions, and dreams that occur while falling asleep, sleeping, between sleep stages, or during arousal from sleep. Most Parasomnias are dissociated sleep states which are partial arousals during the transitions between wakefulness and NREM sleep, or wakefulness and REM sleep.<br/><br/>Psychosis (from the Ancient Greek ψυχή ""psyche"", meaning mind/soul, and -ωσις ""-osis"", meaning abnormal condition) is a abnormal condition of the mind, and ""loss of contact with reality"". People suffering from psychosis are described as psychotic. Psychosis is given to the more severe form(s) of psychiatric disorder, during which hallucinations and delusions and impaired insight may occur. Simone began suffering more psychotic episodes following two severe head injuries just prior to arriving at St Osmond’s.<br/><br/>Personality: Simone is a generally a quiet person who does not engage in conversation(s). Despite the outward appearance(s), Simone is not unfriendly, more so she has never been called upon, asked, or thought to speak much beyond what was asked of her, and needed in her former life... During her imprisonment, a little more of her persona emerged, showing Simone to be friendly, if she felt drawn to someone, although still not an overly talkative creature. Simone also showed flashes of a quiet, but fierce anger. Simone is a determined being, highly intelligent, confident in her abilities but also keenly aware of her weaknesses.<br/><br/>Abilities: Simone posses eyesight, hearing, sense of smell, dexterity, stamina, quickness, regeneration, and strength equal to, or in excess of werewolves, and equal, possibly, with those traits in a vampire. Simone is capable of flight when she shifts forms. Simone is not immune to death, as she can be killed by another of equal or higher abilities, if she suffers enough brain traumas, her head is cut off, or she goes long enough with lycan blood or a synthetic substitute. Simone is able to eat and or drink normal foods and beverages, and can taste them, but they do not provide her with nourishment they do they do in humans.<br/><br/>History: Simone did not have what could be considered a normal home, or a normal birth. She was one of a group of creatures created to deal with a problem caused by the world’s governments as a result of earlier secret experiments involving werewolves.. Unknown to Simone and the vast majority of the Earth’s population, the governments of, North Korea Mexico, China, Russia, Italy, France, The United States, Spain, England, Japan, Germany and Canada, had been conducting experiments in efforts to develop expendable soldier(s) for, among the possibilities, waging war, homeland defense, missions that could normally cost human lives; such as missions to kill terrorists or missions to kill government leaders.<br/><br/>Simone’s first memories were of a large four sided room, devoid of any colours save white and filled with many strange, complex looking pieces of what, she would learn later, were scientific and medical equipment used to monitor and measure blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, growth rates, the removal of waste and intravenous feeding tubes, and others. Simone would see the stark white tiles, and floors, see and hear, over her head, the soft ever present humming from the banks of harsh florescent lighting. She would see, for the first of many, many times, the scientists responsible for her and others creation(s), chief amongst them a tall, slender blonde haired, green eyed woman named Jean Silverstein.<br/><br/>Along with her friend and colleague, Dr. Adelaide M Goldsmith, Dr. Silverstein overseen the London branch of the United Kingdom’s research program, in a massive; four story building called The Solomon Facility, where, several years prior, by chance an unusual patient had been admitted, numbered patient #23. Patient #23 was sent to The Solomon Facility after reportedly changing into a wolf like humanoid creature while at a nearby general hospital and killing or seriously injuring a number of the other patients, staff, doctors and security personnel, before escaping, although briefly, before, reportedly, turning itself in to police. Once at TSF, Patient #23 catapulted the genetics lab’s progress to unheard of heights...<br/><br/>Like on most Earth’s, the Earth which was home to Simone had always had its faire share of rumors and legends of werewolves, vampires, Puca, demons, angels, and so forth, but the truth being told, most people didn’t believe the old tales and who had seen a vampire, werewolf or other such creatures...? Then there was the real truth, such beings did exist, although for whatever reason(s), not in large quantities. It was one of these; a werewolf; that had bitten Patient #23, it was discovered, and so a new arc of genetic research was began first in the UK; then throughout the world as other developed countries took note.<br/><br/>Sometime after, Patient #23 escaped, The Solomon Facility, but was captured a few days later. A few days after it was recaptured, Patient #23 disappeared. Left behind were test results, videos, doctor’s notes and most importantly, its DNA… Using this DNA, the British government began trying to create a ‘manageable’ werewolf/lycan. Phase one began: The building of more genetic research labs and training of more genetic specialist. Phase two: Employment of teams to hunt down animal test subjects, specifically any, and all wolves. Gene splicing and manipulation began in earnest three months after Patient #23 vanished.<br/><br/>That was Phase three. In Phase four: Subjects who survived the genetic/DNA alterations phase were retested for basic intelligence and reasoning, and checked for mental defects. Many subjects failed their intelligence tests and or went insane, although after one year, with no government restrictions on ethical treatment in the labs, research had progressed forward at a astounding rate. It was in the late summer of the second year, when things started to go terribly wrong as a significant number of werewolves, originals and created, escaped facilities around the globe, and started attacking people in rural and urban areas.<br/><br/>Though the world government’s attempted to implement and enforce a full media blackout of what was happening, rumors began to spread via internet blogs, chat rooms, and word of mouth. A reporter might break a story, only to retract it later or vanish in some cases. As the attacks escalated, the world government’s redoubled their research while keeping the public at large in the dark to the true nature of the attacks, reporting through media outlets that the attacks were a worldwide pandemic of a new strain of rabies... One year later, as April became May; Simone opened her eyes and took her first conscious breaths.<br/><br/>Simone was a part of a whole new breed of creatures, being created to hunt down and kill werewolves, and anything else which scientist now knew could exist, which could possess strength, power, agility, stamina and regenerative attributes akin to a lycans. Throughout the world, massive amounts of money had been poured into the newest research, not only from governments’, but from unknown, shadowy donors, whom remained anonymous to all but a select few in the highest levels of governments... Simone, and others like her, were given lycan’s blood too drink and told they needed this to survive, although that was not the entire truth... but one of many they were told to ensure their continuing cooperation.<br/><br/>Simone proved to be among the best and brightest of the werewolf hunters. Simone never questioned her orders or why she was created. She was content to hunt down and kill the threat to herself and her country, while never pondering her link to those she killed or why she, someone who was stronger, faster, more agile, and as smart if not smarter then most humans had to serve them and kill creatures they could not. This was until one December night when Simone and the other three hunters she was traveling with were ambushed by werewolves. The other three hunters died, but Simone survived, though seriously injured.<br/><br/>The alpha female, and leader of the werewolf pack, against the objections of many in her group, kept Simone alive and cared for Simone'svarious injuries. Simone would have fought and killed as many of her captors as she could and then returned to The Solomon Facility, but her injuries and being restrained prevented Simone from doing so. During this period, Simone began suffering sleep and a number of other mantel issues, later diagnosed with, among others, Adjustment disorder, Parasomnias, and a rare disorder, psychogenic fugue.<br/><br/>Angry, confused, and beginning to show the initial, occasional signs of her various mental illnesses, Simone was kept a captive as the group of werewolves moved from Liverpool, to Birmingham, to York, and Manchester England... During this time, Simone learned that not everything she had been told about her enemies was truth. Simone also was made aware of the link that she, her present captors, and many previous escapees shared, that being Patient #23. Simone was quite skeptical, why should she believe anything she was being told by the people who had almost killed her, and who continued to hold her as a prisoner.<br/><br/>Simone’s injuries healed, and she continued to wait and plot for the right time for escape, although she would later reflect on the opportunities missed and the reasons why she had allowed them to pass by... They were reasons Simone would never speak of once she was returned to The Solomon Facility... A part of Simone had subconsciously began listening and believe what she was told, primarily by the group’s leader... a werewolf named Claes, who Simone began to slowly develop feelings for, despite Simone denying it, until a few days after the group had left England, and traveled to their main hideout in northern Scotland.<br/><br/>During a chance encounter with another group of hunters near Glasgow Scotland, Simone was rescued and returned to The Solomon Facility. After being examined, she was found to have suffered a severe head injury, though this did not explain Simone’s mental issues, neither did it explain the Nightmare disorder, Oneirophrenia, and Parasomnias... After she was deemed unfit for further use, Simone was scheduled to be euthanized with a cocktail of drugs designed especially for she and others like her. Death was set for Christmas Eve. Simone accepted her pending death, so she thought; until she lay awaiting her injections.<br/><br/>At that moment, Simone had her first, Brief Reactive Psychosis episode... followed shortly by a full blown psychotic breakdown, during which she attempted to escape the Solomon Facility, killing Dr. Goldsmith and Dr. Silverstein, along with a assistant as she ran from the room. Although badly re-injured, Simone managed to make it to the facility’s front gates, injuring and killing a number of staff members, and several recovering hunters, previously injured in missions, along the way, before being shot in the head by a high powered rifle, wielded by one of The Solomon Facility’s elite snipers, on their payroll for such occasions.<br/><br/>Simone’s life was spared though by two separate events. The bullet miraculously failed in its mission to drive itself through her brain and instead made a full circuit of Simone’s skull before exiting. The second factor, and more mysterious of the two, was a order received moments after the shooting from a unknown source(s) in London, ordering Simone’s life be spared and including orders and directions on how to transport her to a hospital called St Osmond’s. After being stabilized, Simone was sent to St Osmond’s, along with all the files containing her species abilities and weaknesses, and a brief listing of her mental illnesses.<br/><br/>Simone would spend two weeks after arriving at St Osmond’s in its infirmary, in a medically comma... The day she awake, briefly, Simone was moved to a room in St Osmond’s shifter wing. Simone would spend the next week recovering her strength, and asking members of the staff who brought her food to her, where she was and what had happened. As with all patients past, present and future at St Osmond’s, Simone was told nothing. Simone found this annoying, but somehow expected. She had never been told anything whoever was in charge thought she did not need to know. So what was she to do now, Simone wondered.<br/><br/>Fears:<br/><br/>Trypanophobia: The extreme fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles. A result of the euthanasia attempt Simone escaped from prior to being shot, and, in a coma, being delivered to St Osmond’s. As with all Simone's conditions, this is recent.<br/><br/>Claustrophobia: The fear of having no escape and being closed in small spaces or rooms. In Simone’s case, places with curved edges and or small, glass enclosed spaces/areas.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/><br/><a href=""http://s80.photobucket.com/user/pumirya/media/Album/moka.jpg.html""><img src=""http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j189/pumirya/Album/moka.jpg""/></a>"

        Oblivion, I loooove your Dreamweavers! Their dual form is nicely done. I'm curious: is Anya still able to change back and forth at will, or is that affected by her mental illness? Anya's lovely, her bracelets are great! Very much in the spirit of the RP, and a nice touch.

Her cat ears and tail are very hard to miss as they tend to betray her emotions. Her hair is a fiery red color and goes down to her lower back. She normally keeps her hair up in a ponytail but there are times, it is down. Her eyes are very much cat like and are orange in color. Alice stands about 5' 6"" and has never been a day over weight. Her form is slender and flexible. Her tail is a little longer than the normal neko. It is usually wrapped around her waist or hanging behind her.<br/><br/>History: Alice was born into a neko slave trade. She was trained as a sex slave for countless years and does not remember any of her childhood. The same master never kept her for too long so she was constantly sold over and over again. Finally, she was sent to the House as she calls it, as a gift for one of the patrons there. However, he barely paid her any attention and was gone most of the time. During this time, she would go down into the basement and spend her time with the bartender there. He was her first and only friend. Not long after that, her master disappeared completely as she was allowed to live in the basement with the bartender.<br/><br/>Many events happened to her now that she was living with the bartender. Several times, she had to watch him die and got herself hurt. Being a slave before, someone taught her to read and write. The first thing she practiced reading was his journal. She soon learned that she had deeper feelings for him than just a mere friend. Lucky for her the feeling was mutual. Before she knew it, they were happy married and had kids on the way. She had three kits, two boys and one girl. She was pretty happy with her life at the moment. There was not too much to worry about.<br/><br/>The demon that had attacked before had come back again, Orion. Her mind had been tricked by Orion into believing he was her lover. Not knowing the truth, she left with him. Unknown to her that the war had started, Alice stayed in Orion's compound with her grand daughter. She would spend her days taking care of her and only talking with the beautiful faced demon when he was there. Soon enough, her husband and the others had came to rescue her. It was then that she learned the truth. Orion not only kidnapped her and started a war but he had killed her children as well. Once freed and back home everything seemed hallow.<br/><br/>Self-hated came quickly as the others fought in the war. She wanted to help fight against the beast that slaughtered her young. A family friend and guardian over her children choose to help her in this act, granting her powers but losing the fairy in the process. Now, she had the same powers as her husband and he taught her how to use them. She managed to get though one fight but more and more symptoms of depression began effecting her ability to help. Her husband being her only anchor to help pull her back from making her depression become sever. Slowly, she was starting to wake in the middle of the night from nightmares and even see her kits in her waking hours.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before she learned the horrible truth. Her husband was dead. The knowledge only made her mind sink lower and lower into darkness. She would have episodes where she wouldn't eat or sleep for days. She would just stay in their old bedroom, which is a mess now, not speaking or caring about much. Those days she was mostly a empty shell. Other days, she would play, with her children and chat with her husband behind the bar. Using her own powers to simulate him giving her drink or even holding his on cup while sitting with her. It is the only constant reminder, they are gone.<br/><br/>Others in the House, became tired and depressed from seeing the once happy neko in such a state. They spent days trying to convince her that her family was not really there at all. She would not believe them. When they pulled the empty bundle from her, something in her snapped. Her powers lashed out at all those around her. Many of the residents in the House were powerful but she ever killed or severely injured them. This happened every time one would try to talk sense to her. For this reason, before she was killed from lashing out, someone sent her away to Osmonds.<br/><br/>Personality:Alice can be a kind and caring individual to the one she loves or care about. Her trust level is very low as too much in her life has made it diffcult to trust many. Usually, she would view a stranger as a threat until she proves it to be otherwise. After that, she can be friendly but is still easily angered. She has no problem speaking her mind about things or people.<br/><br/>Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual<br/><br/>Fears: The neko has three main fears. The first is that her old masters from the slave market with take her away from her family. Second, the demon that mind tricked her will return and wreak havoc once more. The last and biggest is facing the reality that her entire family was killed and that she is now alone.<br/><br/>Capabilities: Telepathy, Telekinesis, Kinetic barriers, and Phasing"

To save you some trouble (and for plot reasons) I have designed new-arrival teams for Buck and Jean.

<a class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Nurse Assignment List"" href=""#"">Nurse Assignment List [+]</a>
</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<b>Rak/Syblyx:</b> Your NPC nurse for today is Kyle. Kyle is armed with a high-powered penlight, which is bright enough to temporarily blind most creatures if it were to be shined in their eyes. (You’re technical, you can work out wattages and things if you need to.) ;) Kyle has the goatee.<br/><br/><b>Anya/Oblivion:</b> Your NPC nurse for today is Farrah. Farrah is pretty well described in the IC: I needed to do some detailing on them to illustrate some points about the Sibling nurses. That being said, you don’t really need to stick to anything I’ve said about her except appearance.<br/><br/><b>Sasha/Elsa:</b> Your NPC nurse for today is Clara. Like Farrah, she’s detailed in the IC. Same explanation as previous. She is the nurse who is most likely to actually be nice to a new patient. Lucky you. ;)<br/><br/><b>Simone/Pumirya:</b> Your NPC nurse for today is Tony. Clean shaven, as described in IC. I didn’t give him any powers or anything, but I don’t really have to tell you what to do with him, do I?<br/><br/><b>Aniella/CJayxo(Kalleh):</b> As previously discussed, your nurse for today is Buck hisself. I will send you more material at some point over the weekend, no later than Sunday.<br/><br/><b>Dante/El_Tigre:</b> Your NPC nurse for today is Rick. I hinted that he’s a magic-user, somehow, but it’s up to you what method he uses to defend himself should Dante act a fool. (Also, please see the notes below re: your sheet.)<br/><br/><b>Alice/Vampiric:</b> Your character sheet came in after I’d completed the IC for six patients. I did not craft an NPC nurse for you because it would mean a lot of heavy editing at this point, and I can’t do that without going over my own deadline. Since you’re an Alumni from the original Twisted, I suppose you also know what to do in this instance. Standard asylum wake-up.
      </div>
</div><br/><br/>Buck and Jean’s part of the post describes the circumstance under which your character will wake. Those of you on Buck’s team will likely receive a fairly gentle wake-up, considering things to come. Those of you dealing with Jean’s team are more likely to be cursed at, your lights will be flipped on basically at dawn, if you don’t get up you might be poked or pulled out of bed, etc.<b>You will only work with these assigned nurses for today.</b>They will introduce your character to the surroundings: they will answer general questions about the place’s name, circumstance (that it’s a hospital for supernatural loonies, can accept patients from literally<i>everywhere</i>, etc.), and they will escort your patient around the place throughout the day. They will not tell you very much about the origins of the Institute, what sort of dimension it’s in, any information about the city below, and they will not answer any personal questions about themselves or their history at the asylum. If you’re not sure about something in this sense, please run it by me before posting.<br/><br/>When your patient wakes up tomorrow, and for all your use of NPC nurses thereafter, your Sibling's particulars will be up to you. You can use the same one every day, or you can make a new one for each morning. Whatever floats your boat.<br/><br/>Cadence’s part of the post is intended to show the sort of wake-up your patient will be having in two or three days. Your first post should be on par with her timeline, and should end with your patient in the cafeteria between six and eight-thirty AM. Jean’s patients, having received a rude wake-up, will likely run earlier than Buck’s. The cafeteria will be your first chance to interact with other patients. After showing the way to the steam lines, nurses will watch you from a distance, and only intervene if they think that shit is about to hit the fan.<br/><br/>Cadie and Jax are also intended to show you something. Can you see it?<br/><br/><b>Edit:</b>One more thing I forgot: the cafeteria has<i>whatever</i>food your patient needs. There is one steam line for patients like Jax and Cadie, who eat food which is generally considered not disgusting. There is a separate steam line for patients who eat live food, raw meat, blood, anything generally considered disgusting. (For instance; Buck, Simone, and Nell would probably eat from the 'gross' line, if they ate at all. Not sure about Rak and Anya. Dante, Sasha, and Alice would probably eat from the 'not gross' line.)<br/><br/>Now, on to a few other issues.<br/><br/><b>@ Vampiric:</b>Alice is approved. If she lashes out too badly, there’s a vicious collar in her future. With bells that sound like screams, and vibrations that make her head feel like it’s gonna explode if she tries to use any of her powers. Don’t make me do it. ;)<br/><br/><b>@ El_Tigre:</b>As I am writing this, you haven’t finished your sheet. I could be a b*tch and tell you that I did two patient sheets in one day, and everyone else got theirs turned in. But since you came to the thread a little late, and since you went ahead and helped me out with gender equality, and since I’m a little familiar with your capabilities as a writer, I will give you until Sunday night to finish Dante. You also may not post to the IC until your CS has been finished and approved. (I feel like I’m being too stern and not stern enough. What? See also: I'll PM you.)<br/><br/>I have already posted the IC and the Plot Disclosure update regarding the Sibling Nurses. I should be lurking around all night to answer any questions you may have. I apologize for all the reading, and can only promise you that once we get in to full-swing posting everything will be shorter. >.<"

Don't worry, I love abuse. Like I said, let's do this.<br/><br/>Oh please, I am enjoying this already. I had no idea torturing your own characters was so much fun! In fact there should be rules against it, like the opposite of god-modding. And yes, I was joking.<br/><br/>Anyways, I made my post. After comparing characters to yours (24000 character to 3500) I felt like I am underdoing it. Let me know if the length's okay. I also made opportunity for another character to introduce themselves. First come first serve.<br/><br/>P.S. Also, if my post confuses, it has an odd mix of first person and third person. Not sure where my loyalties lie.<br/><br/>EDIT: When I first read the IC, I was a tad disappointed that I got Jean's team. However, I realize now that my guy is probably the least fragile, so I am glad to take the pain for the guys with a weaker body.

I didn't think it was an important enough detail to hide from Rak. If the name of the institute is that secretive, I am more than happy to edit it out.<br/><br/>EDIT: You're right, he probably wouldn't have heard much considering his, uh, incident, this morning. Although it doesn't seem like something he wouldn't know, I can edit in a small paragraph of him overhearing that the institute is Osmond's. Also, is it more than just the fact he knows the name? Finding powerful friends is a natural instinct, especially if that's how he's been treated. Again, I can include more into his thought process, but the significance is lost on me."

        I <b>loved</b> the first season of Black Butler. Syblyx, I agree that Grell (the red-haired reaper I assume you're talking about) is pretty annoying with his adoration of Sebastian. It's actually more disappointing for me because, after his sick tryst with Madam Red, he had so much potential to be a really dark character. And then he's lame the whole rest of the series. Boo. But, Grell's not nearly as annoying as Lizzy. (I wish she had died horribly in the second episode.)<br/><br/>I <b>hated</b> the second season. It's all... just... ridiculous. Claude, Alois and Hannah suck and should be punished. Lizzy still <i>doesn't die.</i> The plot was total garbage. The only redeeming quality is that it still has Undertaker in it. In case you couldn't tell, he's my favie from the series.<br/><br/><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/UndertakerSweet_zps3b6dbd87.gif""/><br/><br/>I haven't read the manga yet.

It's been a<i>very</i>rough few days for me, so I fell a little behind in my writing. Cadie's part is done, Buck's is in progress. I'll have it posted by the time I go to bed tonight!

</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>I have been riding horses since I was ten. My Mom has been riding almost as long as she's been alive: her aunt used to carry her around on the horse as a toddler. So the second I showed interest, Mom was thrilled. I started lessons, and once I'd shown that I was really dedicated two years later, Dad bought Mom and I a little bay mare named Jessie. We had Jessie for three years before I outgrew her, and we were moving from Florida to New Mexico anyway, so we sold Jessie.<br/><br/>When we got to New Mexico, we found a new barn with a great trainer, so we needed a new horse. We bought Charlie from a horse trader in NM, and Charlie was actually born in Mexico. He's got a great big brand on his left thigh to prove it. He was a Western horse, barely broke to English, and the two of us learned pretty much everything together. I'd just started jumping, and Charlie was really great at it. He was just a great horse overall: smart, calm, and sweet-natured. I did Cross-Country, Jumping, and Hunter-Jumper on him. Mom rode him on the trails. When I went off to college his show career was pretty much over, but Mom and I took turns riding him while I finished school and got married. I don't have kids, and while I was getting divorced Mom had gone back to college, so I took over with Charlie. When Mom graduated, she got a fabulous new job and could afford to get and keep another horse. So, she got a <a href=""https://www.rmhorse.com/History%20of%20the%20Breed"">Rocky Mountain Horse</a> mare named Opal. Now we trail ride together every weekend.<br/><br/>Charlie's too old to do any more jumping, but I'm no spring chicken myself so our weekly walks around the neighborhood suit me just fine. That horse is one of my best friends, and I don't know what I'd do without him. I'm forever indebted to my Mom for making sure we kept him all these years. When we moved from New Mexico to Alabama, we brought him with us. She told me once that Charile's gonna be our horse until he's not a horse anymore. I cried. Thanks for reminding me that humans live longer, Mom!! Charile's 26 this year!<br/><br/>Did someone say pictures?<br/><br/>This is my Charile. He's wearing his blankie cuz it's December outside and he's an old fella. He always has to smell my camera/phone/whatever when I try to take a picture.<br/><br/><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/image2_zpsb7393b09.jpg""/><br/><br/>This is Opal, Mom's new mare.

No idea how long it'll go for, but it may be a while. On a positive note, that story made me feel happy inside, so thanks!"
20875,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-03-31 05:39:00,Maiden,"@ Syblyx: I'd say it's awfully late to be out running, but I have no idea where you live so I can't say for sure, haha! You've got plenty of time on the post, just let me know if it's gonna be an issue. Glad my story gave you warm fuzzies. <3<br/><br/>Post is up, sorry again for holding up the game!! >.< As I read it, Rak, Alice and Anya are all at Table One, Dante and Sasha at Table Two, Cadie and Jax at Table Three. Buck, Aniella, and Simone are at the steam lines. Yesyes?<br/><br/>So, in case you guys are baffled as to why Cadie is blind: it's the conversion disorder. She saw something she liked, and consequently went blind to keep from coveting. No telling how long it will last: maybe only hours, maybe weeks. (Though for the RP's sake, probably just hours.) It is admittedly a very severe and short-cycling instance of the disorder, but it's<i>so much fun</i>to play. As I said before, I was going to have her engage Rak, but since you've all grouped yourselves up nicely, there's no need.<img src=""/smilies/golfclap.gif""/><br/><br/>I tried to write for Jax but... he's really difficult. He's more animal than I'd anticipated, and though I can handle Buck and Cadie, I'm just not up to the challenge of Jax's first post right now. But SOON.<br/><br/>Buck's part is one of my favorite self-written examples of how quantity does not equal quantity. While Cadie's part of the post is longer, the only thing it accomplishes is to give a few of Cadie and Jax's reactions to the new arrivals. Buck's part is shorter, but I've included more patients and synchronized some things: I have no idea if poor Nell will be horrified or amazed to see a nurse and a fellow patient drinking blood, or if she'll toss her cookies at the sight of that big raw hunk of meat.<br/><br/>Tigre, I believe you had expressed an intent to show us Dante's inner cannibal? Yesyes? I think between Buck, Simone and Dante we can probably make Nell run screaming from the room. Poor dear... but no worries, Buck's got a syringe with her name on it. :) (Sorry Kally, lol! If you need to PM me about it, feel free!)"

Thanks for checking in and letting us know what's going on!<br/><br/>I didn't get anything written or make any graphics today... we had a lame horse (Opal) and a minor trailer incident (It fell off the block after Mom set it down, thankfully it landed on the weight distribution hitch and not her bumper or her foot!!) so most of my day got eaten up by that. I'm sore and tired, but I feel like a boss for handling bidness. Good news is that tomorrow my Ebil Sister is borrowing the truck to move furniture, so we can't tow anything anywhere. Writing tomorrow. Now... sleep. :)"

I'm amazed that nobody's ever picked Tourette's Syndrome (Even though it's technically neuropsychiatric, I'd allow it!) or OCD, paired with something like Generalized Anxiety or Bipolar Disorder. (Intermittent Explosive Disorder would be a good one, too!) I love Cadie's Conversion Disorder for that reason: it can cause her to go blind, have seizures, give her phantom pains, all sorts of weird stuff in reaction to stresses. Though it's not fun for Cadie, it's totally fun for me to play. Her Impulse Control Disorder is the one that's scary: in real life, people who suffer from it often attack others physically or verbally, or do really inappropriate things. Since hers is tied directly to her telekinetic Mutant powers, she attacks with that instead sometimes. So she's very much sick without losing the ability to interact. Same way with Remy's PTSD and Dissociative Fugues/Amnesia. So it's not about how crazy you can be: it's about how crazy you can be and still have a fairly solid concept of reality.<br/><br/>Just my two cents. Why can I not write anything without rambling?!

</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/><br/><b>Name:</b> Bernadette<br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Her real name is not possible to say with a human tongue, and there are no characters in any language of Earth which can express it. When written in her planet’s native tongue, the name sort of looks like ‘Bernadette’ with a few of the letters written wonky. So that is what the staff and other patients call her: Bernadette or Bernie.</div><br/><br/><b>Age:</b> 24 (1 Engalaste Year = approximately 11 Earth Years)<br/><br/><b>Gender:</b> Female<br/><br/><b>Species:</b> Angkrillian<br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Angkrillians are native to planet Engalaste. This world is largely covered by water, either in great seas or filling the few landmasses with jungle-like swamps and bogs. Bernadette is part of the seafaring sect of the Angkrillian race. Whereas the inland Angkrillians are colored more in greens, golds and browns, those who dwell in open waters have skin in shades of shimmering blue and green and silver. Unlike their dark-haired land cousins, sea Angkrillians have hair in shades of silver and white.<br/><br/>Angkrillians are all capable of shapeshifting into beings of pure water, and can breathe both above and below the surface. This talent is much more pronounced in Sea-Dwellers. Occasionally the water that composes them drifts too far apart and cannot join back together. It is considered a great honor to have a member of one’s family die in this manner.</div><br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b> Bernadette is five foot eight inches tall, and though her body is humanoid in shape -very lean, lithe, and well-curved- she is most definitely not human at first glance. Her eyes are shaped much like a human’s, but their irises are silver with a rather overlarge pupil. Her lips are thin, and when she smiles they reveal two rows of razor sharp teeth that resemble those of an Earth shark, but on a smaller scale. Most noticeably, her skin is an iridescent hue of pale blue, mottled with white and streaked with silver. Its texture is smooth but almost pebbly; sort of like a dolphin or whale’s skin here on Earth, and it feels damp -sometimes clammy- to the touch. Her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are pure white that also shimmers very like mother-of-pearl.<br/><br/><b>History:</b><br/><br/><center><i>“As your Mother is water, so too shall you be water.<br/>You will rush ever onward: do not stagnate, do not be still.<br/>Let all the rubble filter out, leave it behind on the bottom.<br/>To stop flowing is to die.”</i></center><br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Sea-Dwelling mothers do not give birth, and do not raise their young. Nearly a quarter of them never even get around to breeding in the first place. They lay soft-shelled eggs in small pools on secluded islands near the center of the Great Sea. When the eggs grow big enough, the parents break them open by hand into the ocean… and their job is done. Angkrillian infants spend their first years operating largely by instinct in the shallow waters surrounding these islands. Once they are large enough, they brave the open sea. Many Angkrillian juveniles die at this point.<br/><br/>But Bernadette was not like the others. She waited for her mother and father to leave the island. She followed them. Deep out into the open water, where it was not safe for little ones. In her first memories, Bernadette’s mother turned on her. She saw her father reach out, either to stop the woman or to grab the girl, but he succeeded in neither. The mother kicked her daughter viciously, sent her speeding at a steep angle down and out into the dark water. Of course, a huge mouth opened to claim the babe.</div><br/>
</div>
</div><br/><br/>How's that for strange? I'm having<b>so much fun</b>making her that I'm going a lot more in-depth with her CS than is strictly necessary, but I need to in order for one vital aspect of Bernie to be explained. She's not actually crazy. On her own planet, she's the most insane version of themselves that anyone could imagine... but if you put her on Earth and totally disregarded the language barriers, physical appearance and culture shock, she wouldn't be diagnosed with any mental illness. It will all be explained in the full CS. Which I will finish at some later point in time when I shouldn't be going to sleep. ;)<b>Edit:</b>I also feel like I should mention that in my head, Bernadette's speaking voice sounds like she's originally from India and the Caribbean... somehow... XD<br/><br/>Also, I dunno what's up with all these girls. I feel like I need the next few of the Thirteen to be boys.<br/><br/>In the meanwhile, please enjoy a brief post... that is short and only effects Dante. LoL! Pum, now I have to finish Bernadette next because -twitch- I hate Works In Progress. I don't know what I'm going to do with Cadie, Jax and Buck. They're all in the Cafeteria and I want to leave them free for the moment, in case I need them to tie off any loose ends. ;) I should have something up for you in a few days, once I know what I need to write.<br/><br/>I know I've been slacking off a little lately, but when I say I'm sticking with it this time, I mean it. I don't mind a slow and steady pace, but I'm bound and determined that it will be<i>steady!</i>"

I have a few players who are needing a bit of time off, and we're at such an early place in the roleplay it would be no problem to have you join in. We're not open for applications just yet, but in all likelihood I'll need to do some recruiting in the very near future so I see no reason to make you wait. Go ahead and post your CS whenever it's ready and we'll go from there! :) Thanks for your interest!<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>Excellent. I'll read up on your characters and start working on a CS. Thanks for the opportunity."
21001,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-05-21 02:36:00,Katelyn,"I'll get the history up tomorrow, which will help to explain better the DID, and I'll review it for grammar as well. :)<br/><br/><b>Name:</b><br/>Ivaniliana “Lia” (pronounced Leah)<br/><br/><b>Species:</b><br/>Silvan Wood Elf - They are very similar to other elves with the various affinities for controlling the wind and earth when in extreme danger or torment, and they are able to climb almost anything, even most non-scalable materials. Needs to breath fresh air and prefers to live in the most wooded areas, the trees considered brethren and the sun and moon – mother and father.<br/><br/><b>Gender:</b><br/>Female<br/><br/><b>Age:</b><br/>220, but appears to be 18-20<br/><br/><b>Mental Illness:</b>Lia suffers from the following:<br/>Dissociative identity disorder (DID) - is a mental disorder that is characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states that alternately control a person's behavior, and is accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness. Lia’s other personalities are Ziak, a male who represents her brother and Sema, a female that represents her sister to her.<br/><br/>Dream shifter – a mental illness that leaves her to believe that she can control her future by shifting various situations/scenarios within the context of her dreams. Whether her gift has proven true or not has yet to be determined as she is lost in the notion that she has the power to shift tomorrow in her dreams.<br/><br/>Hypersensitivity – Lia is highly sensitive to loud noises and her mind associates them with terror, leaving her instinct to fend for her safety, which is never a solid bet. Being able to use various elemental magic at the core of her being often time in the midst of loud noises she will mentally black out and leave Ziak to destroy the room in a wind storm or bust a hole in the floor with a mild earthquake.<br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><br/><img src=""https://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5d/b9/a2/5db9a2b73f26007a72f9ab2df5acf771.jpg""/><br/><br/>Lia stands no more than four and a half feet, her frame petite and feminine. Flawless alabaster skin stretches over her lithe frame, her color consistent without pigment variation of any sort. Her pale golden locks hold a natural wave but each strand twists tightly at its end much like the tail of a seahorse. Various strands of translucent hair stream throughout her thick silky mass and dance among the sun-streaked highlights that almost seem to move at times with derivative intent.<br/><br/>Her face is narrow and quite angular in structure, her blonde eyebrows designed with a high arch that presses the feel of elitism into the air around her. Eyes as dark as a moonless night sit in perfect proportion on her face, her stare a bit unnerving because of the absence of color. Her lips are full and dusted rose colored, turning down in her natural state as if distain runs along her thoughts at all that moves and breathes around her.<br/><br/>Her nails are long and claw-like, completely opaque and sharp as knives unless cut to the cuticle, which has been the requirement of her people for most of her life, namely due her mental state. Her feet finish with six toes on each one, the need to have additional grip when climbing trees and scaling mountains creating the extra appendages. A living vine grows from the base of her right ankle and wraps tightly around her shapely calf, small white flowers growing on the greenery when she’s well taken care of and in good physical health.<br/><br/><b>History:</b><br/>Lia grew up in the Vanacula woods on the Draken planet, which held most properties one might expect in a land littered with Fae, Elves and Trolls. The undisturbed forests were home to many nature-loving creatures, but humanoid in nature as well as various types of animals. Lia was the youngest daughter of the high wooden Elf King, Jared and their queen, Karina. She had an older brother, Ziakander who was being trained to take her father's place should anything befall the great king, and her older sister, Semantilla. With her parents being very involved in ruling their species and maintaining proper interaction with other races, Lia spent most of her time in the presence of her siblings. They were a close-nit group and trained together in both arms and education with only a chosen few from the woods they inhabited.<br/><br/>Having the ability to live hundreds of years, Lia's people were learned in things both imperative to survival for their race and various mysteries of other races and worlds. She spent lots of her free time in the great library of Colemon, her father's adviser, searching for a new adventure to take her away. Because her people were peaceful by nature, the arrival of the Daemon's from a dark world just beyond their viewing mechanisms was both a shock and lesson in unpreparedness. The Daemon's wasted no time in murdering the ruling bodies, Lia racing frantically toward the royal castle from the library and stumbling upon nothing being left but the remains of her family. It wasn't long before she found herself walking numbly through the woods that surrounded her once beautiful home, her mind scattered and throat sore from talking to herself incessantly for days on end.<br/><br/>Not being recognized, the King of the Useelie court ordered her to be removed from their world and sent someplace that she might gain her consciousness back or perhaps have it replaced. Knowing that her entire species was removed from Draken and that she was the only one remaining would do nothing but send the lovely girl deeper into the darkness that seemed to hang all around her like a disenchanted cloak. Having heard of the Osmand Institute, the Fae King arranged for the lovely young, nameless girl to be transported to the facility in hopes that someone might assist her in moving forward and possibly reinventing herself as she did.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/>Lia is offstandish and withdrawn, her natural tendency to move into the shadows and remain content to only keep company with herself and the lost love ones in her head. She is often willing to assist others before thinking of herself namely due to her past and is only passionate about one thing – the mistreatment of others.<br/><br/>Ziak is dominate and pushy. His tendency is to demand his way and physical force others to deliver on his expectations. He is outspoken and holds grudges for the remainder of the relationship should the offense be too much. He tries to move into the spotlight in all circumstances and enjoys nothing more than challenging authority.<br/><br/>Sema is outgoing and friendly. She’s always looking to make a new friend and offers herself to assist in any way possible with anyone. She’s flirty and kind, funny and willing to break a few rules to ensure a countenance of joy and excitement are present in her world at all times.<br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation:</b><br/>Bisexual, namely depending on who’s running the show inside her skull in the moment.<br/><br/><b>Fears:</b><br/>Lia is afraid of commitment and deep water, Ziak is afraid of the dark and bees, and Sema is afraid of sleeping and overtly bright lights.<br/><br/><b>Capabilities:</b><br/>Elemental Magic - As noted above, Lia is a wood elf, so she has the ability to use elemental magic without the use of spells. She can call the elements in full force if out among them, but in confined spaces she can only utilize what’s available to her to pull at the wind, water, fire and earth. She loses strength more quickly with the larger displays of effort as one might imagine.<br/><br/>Strength – Lia is much stronger than she appears, her body able to hold 3-4 times its own weight and carry it for several miles at a time. She is able to climb with no weight on her back for more than a day at a time, her arms and legs strong and agile.<br/><br/>Transparency – A gift from her father. She’s capable of becoming completely transparent (if she removes her scrubs) for ten to fifteen minutes at a time, but needs lots of rehydration and sleep afterward. The strands of translucent hair on her head will grow and wrap around her like a second skin."

NewGuild is tricky like that sometimes. XD<br/><br/>It's late and I'm really tired, so I'll make a proper reply tomorrow. Suffice to say that I very much like what I see so far and I'm looking forward to reading her history!<br/><br/>In other news, I didn't finish Bernadette tonight. I had too much other ish to do.

I had to turn down the job for mental health reasons.<br/>2. Uni exams are in two weeks and I appear to be failing every assessment that I thought I would do well in so any faith I have in my own ability is shattered.<br/>3. Because I cannot afford Life (phone bill, car insurance, petrol, regular medication, train fare etc. etc.) it looks as though I'm going to have to defer my studies for a while so that I can try and get a full time job. And before you ask; sure welfare support or study aid would be great, but the Australian government have just made it a hundred times more difficult to get and it was pretty fucking difficult to get to before.<br/><br/>As a consequence I cannot post to remove Sasha from play at this moment so Maiden go ahead and do what is necessary, but hopefully I will be able to jump back into play after exams because I won't have Uni to keep my brain occupied.<br/><br/>EDIT: Re: new X-Men.... I am concerned about TWO QUICKSILVERS played by TWO ACTORS and one of them appears to be WITHOUT WANDA? Also the continuity issues abound but I'm trying not to think about that."

Half-way was just my way of saying I'm lurking. I mean, I don't really know much about insanity, to be honest, or how to really get into a madman's mindset, especially a dangerous madman."
21006,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-05-22 04:38:00,Maiden,"<b>@ Katelyn:</b>What I meant was I'd seen your post about starting to work on your CS, and didn't realize you'd posted again with the CS. It just shows that you have the newest post on the thread, and I thought it was still the same post you'd made earlier. Double post = back to back post, I didn't mean two of the same.<br/><br/>As I said before, I like what I see! :) Unless I'm mistaken (which I don't think I am) Lia is the first proper Elf in Twisted's history. I like Tolkien's take on Elves, and I'm glad to see someone playing an OC individual from a canonical race. Furthermore, you've given yourself a very natural opening to get on Buck's good side. I suspect Bernadette will like her also: the physical appearance will likely put her in mind of a Land-Dwelling Angkrillian. You've got a nice balance on the illness: she's distinctly sick but not unplayable. Her three personalities seem to sort of balance one another out: she'll be able to have crazy withdrawn time<i>and</i>solid interaction time. I'm impressed and interested!<br/><br/><b>@ Elsa:</b>I really do hate to hear that you're having such a rough time right now. I've struggled with mental illness myself in the past, and if you ever need someone to talk to it would be my honor to lend an ear. Don't lose faith in yourself: we all struggle sometimes, and something as simple and seemingly small as a lack of focus can really derail your studies at school or projects at work. I know you well enough to know that you're an intelligent and talented young woman. Don't let a few bad grades make you think you're not!! I hope things get better for you very soon!!<br/><br/>Thank you for letting me know what's going on in your life. I'll move Sasha out of play, and whenever you feel like you're ready to come back we'll take a look at how to work her back in.<br/><br/><center><b>This is where I put my GM Hat on.</b></center><br/><br/>Currently, my only active players are<b>Pumirya</b>and<b>Tigre.</b>Pum, I know you're stuck waiting on interaction.

XD) Tigre, you can reply to the post I wrote<i>just for you</i>any time. *cough* I'm just trying to keep you and Pum from getting too bored while I sort this inactive player mess. Thank you both for being so patient!<br/><br/><b>Katelyn</b>, I'll give you an official verdict whenever the history is posted.

Either way, both my roll call and my PM's have gone unanswered. I know that I am partly to blame for the level of inactivity on these threads the past few weeks. Had I known I was about to change jobs I probably would have delayed starting this RP... but it is what it is. What matters now is that I'm running on all my cylinders and ready to move this game forward. I can't do that with two active players.<br/><br/>As per OOC Rule Number Three, clearly stated on the third post of this goode OOC, all your characters are now<i>belong to me.</i>The loss of players is actually built into this roleplay as an element of the game, and while I hadn't anticipated having to make the first cut this early on, it's totally workable.<br/><br/>Your characters will be puppeted out of the Cafeteria, and briefly through the rest of their Institute tours. They will be returned to their rooms. Some of them may simply be exhausted by the stress of the new environment and decide to take a nap. Others may decide to act a fool and get a heavy dose of sedatives... or hallucinogens. (Because that's how we roll here.) Either way, they will all slip into comas. If Twisted's history is any indicator, that will be the end of that. Should any of you ever wish to return to Twisted, we can discuss whether or not I'll let you have your patient back. Because I'm evil like that. >:D<br/><br/>And now I've eaten up a lot of time with this gigantic rambling OOC post, and need to brainstorm about what happens next IC. I shall bid you all goodnight, and if you’re interested, have a listen to one of my favorite theme songs for the RP.<br/><br/><center>In this <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktlLjMcJ5nM"">house on a hill</a>,<br/>The dead are living still.<br/>Their intention is to kill<br/>And they will… they will.</center><br/><br/>Sweet Cheesus this is long, sorry for potato again!<br/><br/>Edit: Shin, in that case I'll just mark you down as a lurker.

Work was ridiculous, my whole brain is crying.<br/><br/><b>@ Katelyn:</b>MFW I realized the names.<br/><br/><img src=""http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/Feels_zps366caaca.gif""/><br/><br/>You're approved. Welcome aboard! You can jump into the IC whenever you feel comfortable. If I were you, I would aim to arive/awake for lunchtime where Cadie and Simone are. Lia can either be a late arrival, waking up from sedated transport just before lunch instead of just before breakfast like the others did, or she could have arrived that morning but acted a fool before even being removed from her room and getting a touch overmedicated, not regaining consciousness until lunchtime. Your choice. ;)<br/><br/>I loved New Orleans, great place to visit... but I don't think I'd ever move there.<br/><br/>And now,<b>sleep.</b>"

That thread will contain the whole submissions/acceptance process, so only finalized sheets and approved players should show up in this thread. That being said, all of you are welcome to peruse the recruiting thread, post there to bump it, and to give me input on new players. Katelyn has filled one of the three spots left vacant, so we really only have two places to fill.<br/><br/>For those of you who are wondering, Oblivion is on a short-term LOA for the next week at least, but hopefully Anya will be waking up in time to join the crowd at lunch. Tigre and I are collaborating on a post, which I intend to serve as his contribution for this posting cycle.<br/><br/>Speaking of posting cycles, this is important:<br/><br/><b>Effective immediately, I am re-instituting the two-week post rule.</b>Everyone needs to get their posts up before my last post is two weeks old.

21052,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-06-12 03:33:00,Kiddo,"<b>Name: Kevin D’Rockitto</b><br/><br/><b>Species: </b><a href=""http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Victini"">Victini</a><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Victini is the result of a last-ditch genetic experiment by the greatest legendary and human minds during the final months of the Great Exarch War. Designed to provide the power and guidance for a worldship single-handedly, Victini was blessed with boundless energy provided by a highly-efficient self-sustaining generator which is the closest “natural” thing to a fision reactor that could be imagined, helped along by a little bit of what the less-technically-minded wouldn’t mind calling “magic”.</div><br/><b>Gender:</b>Ungendered (originally male)<br/><b>Age:</b>18<br/><br/><b></b><center>Mental Illness:</center><br/>From the file compiled before Kevin was transferred:<br/>PTSD: Almost all of Kevin’s other issues stem from the trauma he experienced during the Great Exarch War. His triggers are multiple and result in unreasonably-powerful responses. Due to the intensity of these outbursts and the numerous quality of his triggers, he’s been deemed dangerous to himself and to others. Known triggers include:<br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Being stared at for too long<br/>	Multiple people saying the same thing at the same time, be this chanting or singing or entirely coincidental<br/>	Whispering in his ears<br/>	Using the pronoun “we” to refer to a single entity (please keep him away from self-aware multiple-person systems)</div><br/>Sleep disorders: Kevin suffers from night terrors, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, and sleep paralysis. He is at his most dangerous and least predictable while asleep or falling asleep; induction of sleep in a controlled environment is recommended.<br/><br/>Depersonalization disorder: Likely due to the relatively-recent transference of Kevin’s consciousness to the Victini chassis from his previous human body, Kevin is often struck with depression and has reported several instances of out-of-body experiences on a nearly-daily basis. The lengendaries figure that he’ll get over it eventually, but decided to report it anyway.<br/><br/>Drug abuse: Due to his fear of sleeping, Kevin has taken to preemptive use of Awakening to prevent himself from losing consciousness. As he goes longer and longer without sleep, he must take it more often, and blood tests show high levels of blood toxicity due to this. It is also possible that his fight to stave off sleep is the cause of his sleep paralysis, though there is no evidence to suggest that were he to stop using it his night terrors would leave him.<br/><br/>At the bottom have been added:<br/>Antisocial personality disorder: Has a remarkable disregard for personal space, often invading others’ quarters. Patient has tendency to take any unlocked door as an invitation to enter. Suggestions that this is not okay behavior have not yet resulted in a deviation for the better. Patient interrupts constantly.<br/><br/>Kleptomania? Compulsive Hoarding? An assortment of objects, including a few reported stolen, have been found, repeatedly (even after giving them back) in a neat pile in Kevin’s room. Includes any writing utensils given to it, and anything that is not glued down. Keep away from those who require specific objects for stability: remember to note on the whiteboard to check for stolen items in its room.<br/><br/><b></b><center>Appearance:</center><br/>Kevin is an odd-looking creature. The first way that you would describe him would be as a rabbit or bunny, but most rabbits don’t have wings instead of a tail, or odd red markings up their ears and on their extremities to contrast the rest of their pure-white fur, or very large fangs protruding down to about the level of their chin. Kevin does.<br/><br/>He’s not much larger than a large rabbit: about one foot tall when standing bipedal, extended about half a foot if you take his ears into account at full height. His wings span about one foot as well, certainly not long enough to actually be of any use, even given that the creature is much lighter than one might imagine just from glancing at him.<br/><br/>When in flight, Kevin supplements this appearance with wing extensions and an odd sort of tail made of controlled fire. He’s explained that this is purely cosmetic, as he achieves flight through psychic locomotion, but doesn’t like to “look like (he’s) being dragged about by the seat of (his) hypothetical pants”.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<br/>“…making him Champion of five regions. What is next for Kevin D’Rockitto?” What, indeed. The seventeen-year-old switched off the radio and glanced around the table at the impatient faces of the two legendaries that were his guests.<br/><br/>“So, yeah, why did you want to hear that?” <br/><br/>“We didn’t, I asked for your life story.” The small pink cat creature’s psychic voice didn’t sound particularly thrilled about having had to listen to a news report instead of getting the message right from the horse’s mouth, given that said horse was right there.<br/><br/>“And that described it much more thoroughly than I possibly could have. I go off on tangents.”<br/><br/>“Just the basic rundown would have worked, all you had to say was ‘Hi, I’m Kevin, my dad owns Team Rocket, I’ve had nothing better to do than run around and fight crime and beat up trainers for the past five years and now I’m still the undefeated champion of five regions!’ But it’s a digression, anyway. We’re here because… we need your race’s help. Since you’re their Champion, it only makes sense to come to you. War is coming.”<br/><br/>…<br/>“What do you MEAN you’re impeaching me?” Kevin shoved his face inches away from his accuser’s own, daring him with his eyes to say it again.<br/><br/>“I mean exactly what I said, Champion. You’re far too biased in favor of the Pokemon; we need someone who will think about our interests to represent us.”<br/><br/>“And you think YOU’RE the one to do it, huh?” Kevin backed away, wiping the back of his hand across his mouth to wipe the angry spittle away before turning back on the taller man. “You don’t even know what the heck we’re facing out there! This isn’t some game, this isn’t politics! The Exarchs are coming, and they are going to KILL YOU if don’t get your stupid head out of the sand and realize that this is literally the end of the world.”<br/><br/>“I assure you, my head is not in the sand. And it’s not the end of the world, my corporation can provide the worldships necessary to defend us from your Exarchs… but not if you’re just going to throw them away like you’re planning.” Edward managed to stay remarkably calm given who he was facing, and the rest of the chamber remained silent as they watched the spectacle, the volcano raging against the steady sea.<br/><br/>“If… IF. You can’t see past your own SPECTACLES and you think you have the vision to know what can and can’t protect us from the Exarchs. HAVE YOU LOOKED OUTSIDE RECENTLY? Do you not see the mess that we’re in? Earth IS NOT SAFE. The ONLY way we’re going to scrape out of this with even a FRACTION of the human population alive is if we join the legendaries in fighting these things. You’d have us sit here twiddling our thumbs just WAITING for them to break through our best chance at defense, refusing to offer any aid at all, and then what? You think that your stupid ships will be better capable to defeat them without the legendaries’ support?”<br/><br/>“Yes.”<br/><br/>Kevin stared dumbfounded for a moment, and then shook his head, determined to go on. “And what if they can? You’re just letting the Pokemon die out there instead of turning the tide of the battle?”<br/><br/>“See, you’re thinking more of them than you’re thinking of our race. Hence I propose a vote to have you removed from your position.”<br/><br/>Kevin glanced around the auditorium in disbelief. “Four months. It only took you four months to buy enough votes.” He glared across at Edward, who had finally broken his icy emotionless façade to smile unpleasantly. “Well maybe I’m biased toward Pokemon because they’re not all !#$% IDIOTS!” He saw the few winces that he managed to provoke, but already knew how this was going to go down. “Clarence, take us out, we’re done here.” The Abra slowly nodded, and the two disappeared from the room as the results flashed up on the board: 112 for, 5 against.<br/><br/>…<br/>“It’s either that or cryogenic freeze. At least this way you can still help.” Kevin rubbed his eyes wearily, staring down at the paperwork in front of him. Denied a spot on every worldship crew, of course. And now here he was, offered the same options that everyone else was, as if he hadn’t helped design the freaking things.<br/><br/>“Not even an engineering position?” She shook her head. “Then… I guess I have a phone call to make.”<br/><br/>Kevin left the recruitment office as the next person in the very long line made his way in. He flipped open the cell phone and sighed heavily again, dialing in a number that he hadn’t input in a long time. Hopefully he would pick up this time. He held the plastic thing against his ear and listened to the dialtone, his face growing less hopeful with each ring until it was finally interrupted with a click. “Hello?”<br/><br/>“Hey, Alvin… we need to talk about Project Victini.”<br/><br/>…<br/>“… Are you sure? We don’t even know if it will work.” The pink cat looked across at him, seemingly ages older and more rundown than he’d seen him just eight months ago.<br/><br/>“Everyone says the science checks out. And at least this way I can still make a difference.” The cat continued looking at him, but underneath the expression of defeat found only determination and reasonable fear; Kevin wasn’t going to change his mind.<br/><br/>“Then let’s get to work. Ah, and you won’t,” he pointed at the metal band hidden behind Kevin’s ears and hair, “be needing that anymore.”<br/><br/>…<br/>“Worldship Victini, in position.” It still felt weird to say, still felt strange to know that he was literally the only thing supporting the lives of the tens of thousands manning the flying behemoth that they called a worldship. It took three months to retrofit it, but here they were, deep in outer space, in formation with the twenty other ships, flying on nothing but the science and magic that they’d managed to stuff into the little body that he’d offered his consciousness to control. And now he was a Pokemon, some weird rabbit thing with wings sprouting from his butt. Nope, nope, don’t think about that. There were bigger things happening than his personal saga.<br/><br/>“About time, Victini.” He grimaced as Edward’s voice came to him through the comm link that he was psychically linked to. Edward, leading the charge against the Exarchs. <br/><br/>That should have been him… but it didn’t matter. At least Edward had eventually chosen Kevin’s plan instead of sticking to his own idiotic one. Politics.<br/><br/>“We’ve got contact!” Something wisped through the rip in the universe, and for a revolting second swirled about against the current of matter that was being pulled into the hole, before turning back in. Then there were a dozen of them, clear to see from the monitors that he could directly contact in a way that pure vision could never have given him. Then hundreds… they were swelling out of the hole now, a thousand strong ethereal souls bulging and writhing about as their conglomerate tried to squeeze through the tear in space. Something about it, the same way that it felt when watching those sickly ink-like beings back planetside, made him want to turn away in disgust and stop watching. He closed his eyes for a few moments, letting the feeling evaporate, but opened them again to resume his vigilance: the cameras inside the bridge told him that not everyone was able to watch even now, and he’d have to take over their slack. He couldn’t look away no matter how much he wanted to, not when a moment could spell the end of them. “Hold your fire! We’re just here to negotiate.”<br/><br/>Negotiate? Kevin could hear the radio squabble that signaled everyone’s confusion, felt it himself. Negotiate with these deadly creatures who wanted no more than to destroy everything?<br/><br/>But no one was moving to disobey yet, and so they let the thing pour from its crack, growing in size until it dwarfed their own ships. He looked on steadfastly, feeling the pressure of the thing, its horrible millions of voices imploring him to let the ship just die where it was, forcing him to curl up in some sort of fetal position of defeat, to accept their doom and just give up. It was a psionic attack unlike he’d ever felt before, but with determination he grit his new teeth together and slammed the door on those unwanted visitors. He could handle this, the whole ship depended on him.<br/><br/>But then they came through the radio. All the ships, the whole frequency range, the cameras from inside the ship’s hull, all the channels became flooded with it. What he thought he’d escaped was back, and as quickly as he could shut off communication channels, it was flooding new parts of the hardware until he had to just turn off the whole ships’ speakers. So much for any tactics they’d been planning on relaying over radio.<br/><br/>Then he felt the first shock and looked up at the thing dashed against Edward’s ship, it having only just raised shields soon enough to stop itself from being scattered amongst the stars as hurtling debris. Flashes from the ships around him signaled the launch of the first volley of anti-matter torpedoes, and he fed energy into the particle cannon to add his ship’s unique artillery to the mix. The battle was on.<br/><br/>…<br/>“You rewrote the fundamental laws of the universe, but you can’t put me back in my body.” Kevin looked as skeptical as a rabbit thing could, but the new Elder just shook his head.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry, Kevin, but I suppose you’re stuck as a legendary; it’s not…”<br/><br/>…<br/>“…safe to keep him around until he gets himself under control. You do that, and something bad is going to happen; he hasn’t even grown into his powers, and already look at the mess he’s making of things! And no, outcasting him to space isn’t going to solve anything. He needs professional help.” The Celebi stared defiantly at the Elder until he shrugged.<br/><br/>“Are you suggesting Osmund’s?” Bit didn’t seem particularly impressed with the idea, but nor did he seem keen to disregard Alvin’s advice.<br/><br/>“Trust me, it’s for the best. Better that than he blows up that whole system where he’s locked himself away… which he is going to do if nothing is done about it.” Bit sighed, letting something other than robotic reasoning show on her visage, instead showing off just how little she wanted that for their little experiment. Alvin searched back in his memory to try to get what he was feeling, and finally finding it, scrunched up his face in sympathy. “Look, I know it’s our fault, but it’s what needs to be done. Osmund’s can’t be that bad.”<br/><br/>“Yes, fine, I’ll set it up. I’m sure you have better things to do?” Alvin nodded emphatically, and quickly flew off to find a pool somewhere. He tried to ignore the feeling of guilt that was trying hard to make him go back and rescind his advice.<br/><br/>Because yes, he was well aware that Osmund was that bad.
      </div>
</div><br/><br/><b></b><center>Personality:</center><br/>Kevin isn’t in Osmund’s because of anything that he did wrong. Coincidence just conspired against him, and now he’s a broken tool with too much power. So he’s not what you might expect of a typical patient in an insane asylum for berserk supers: he doesn’t have particularly-troublesome anger problems, there’s no rap sheet detailing hundreds of murders, and he’s all-around pretty normal! Well, as normal as someone with so many disorders can be…<br/><br/>Kevin’s one of those people who can’t stand to do nothing. Heck, when he was twelve he decided to go on a big adventure to defeat some make believe bad guys and become the champion of his region: and he did it! But then, instead of admitting “Well alright, that’s enough of that!” he went on to do it in four more regions! And then only stopped because the whole gym system was shut down when the infected started rampaging.<br/><br/>So obviously, not only does he need to keep busy, but if he does something, he’s going to do it until it’s done and done. Kevin’s not one of those people to half-bake something and call it a day, be that something a pie or be it saving the world or be it making a friend.<br/><br/>And when faced with the Trolley Dilemma, Kevin always insists that he’d save all six people.<br/><br/>Not that Kevin’s a shining example of all that’s right in the world. No, even he has his personality issues: some are described as disorders, but others are less well-defined. He takes failure too hard, and he cares a bit too much what others think of him. He’s likely to get angry if he thinks people are being stupid, and given how opinionated he is, he tends to think that a lot. At least he doesn’t normally have trouble controlling his anger and will mostly resort to spitting at you and yelling loudly.<br/><br/>But Kevin’s mostly a decent guy.<br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation:</b>Whatever the word would be for a non-gendered rabbit-like species that is attracted to female humans.<br/><br/><b></b><center>Fears:</center><br/>Hypnophobia: As a sufferer of both night terrors and sleep paralysis, Kevin dreads sleep and has taken to extreme measures to avoid it.<br/><br/>Scopophobia: Kevin has a specific subset of this fear: he only has trouble if one stares at him in an unblinking manner for too long.<br/><br/>The fear of dripping: Whether it’s water or (even worse if it’s) something oil-like, Kevin can’t stand to be near something that’s dripping. A trigger for his PTSD.<br/><br/><b></b><center>Capabilities:</center><br/>Per design, Kevin has an “endless” supply of energy, which he can easily (with just the touch of a hand and some application of will) transfer to others, whether they be living or specially-designed machinery. This energy accelerates healing in biological recipients as well as making them feel energized and banishing physical fatigue. It is unknown if Kevin actually has a maximum output, but if it exists, it’s unreasonably high: controlling and powering all of the systems on a worldship, including the energy weapons and shields, for days on end didn’t tap out his power, so it’s unlikely that anything will. Due to the experimental nature of the Victini design, no one knows what long-term effect this has, either, though the minds involved did shrug and say “Prolly bad” (in more scientific terms, of course) and the resident time traveler placed a hand on Kevin’s shoulder and said “Don’t overdo it.” Whatever that means.<br/><br/>His main form of offense seems to be the release of large sums of this energy, most-often in non-directed radial blasts, which cause an increase in the energy of the particles of those things surrounding him. While this might mean only an uncomfortable increase in temperature, it could also mean nearly-instantaneous disintegration as everything’s particles become excited to the point of becoming unglued.<br/><br/>Due to being a fire type and psychic type Pokemon, Kevin has access to “superhuman” powers in these fields, though nothing particularly amazing for other Pokemon of those types or even on par with the other legendaries. The red parts of Kevin’s fur can burst into flame, and he can ignite his own breath somewhat like a flamethrower. His psychic powers extend to powerful telepathy and telekinesis, strong enough to allow him to communicate and to float about and toss things at people and open door knobs.<br/><br/>The Victini design, borrowing from the high mental capacities of the legendaries who designed it, provides Kevin with, as he describes it “a faster processor.” He can slow down and speed up his perception of time much as one can change the clock on a PC’s processing unit, up to a ceiling and down to a floor. This has no effect on other’s perception of time and cannot allow him to undo anything from a previous time, but is helpful for those split-second moments when a lot must be processed or those dull hours when he’s sitting not sleeping while everyone else is enjoying their particular brand of nightmare.<br/><br/>The design also shares some other traits with the other legendaries, including extreme longevity (hypothetically, as no one is quiet sure how much expending so much energy will reduce Kevin's life span), the ability to survive in extremely-inhospitable environments (Kevin banished himself to the far reaches of outer space after his first outburst), the ability to become invisible, the ability to teleport (though this generally takes a long while to perfect, and Kevin [though he has been learning abnormally quickly, which is largely attributed to his previous experience with telepathy and with his nearly constant exposure to psychic Pokemon for a third of his life] is not to the point where he trusts his own abilities in this regard. He's measured his margin of error at an unacceptable 3-mile diameter, which is fine if you're just teleporting around outerspace, but not so fine if you're trying to target a room in a specific building, or something), and the ability to generate energy shields.<br/><br/><b></b><center>Miscellaneous:</center><br/>A Masterball was sent with Kevin, and has been required a few times to stop his rampages. It places him instantly in temporary stasis which is broken only upon external release, and has allowed his caretakers to safely bring him to places where his tantrums will cause less damage (or to transport him where he does not wish to go when he’s being ornery).<br/><br/>None of the designs to interface with Kevin’s energy-granting ability were passed along to the Asylum. Any inquiry into maybe getting some of the tech would result in a terse “No.”<br/><br/><b></b><center>OOC Notes: </center><br/>Full disclosure: many of the characters and situations described in this bio are from<a href=""https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6856845/1/The-Outcast"">this story.</a>It's fantastic, you should go check it out. You won't find Victini mentioned anywhere or anyone named Kevin (if I remember correctly), but the whole series is still worth the read."
21053,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-06-12 04:10:00,nonsequitur,"Guess I'll post my character sheet here too. Hello everyone!<br/><br/><b>Name</b>: Ryn<br/><br/><b>Species</b>: Hyper-butterfly<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">
<div class=""hider-heading"">
<a class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Hyper-butterflies"" href=""#"">Hyper-butterflies [+]</a>
</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        Simply put, the hyper-butterflies are sapient fields of energy capable of performing nearly any feat related to matter. This includes reversing entropy, creating and manipulating biological matter and interaction with material at an atomic level. Their only limitations are any mental restraints they may possess. They resemble humans in their youth except for energy fields extending several feet beyond their bodies. However, at any time after the age of 12 their energy fields form a cocoon around their bodies and they become aware of their abilities. They may then reshape their physical bodies however they wish, with the cocoon dissipating as soon as the transformation is complete. Hyper-butterflies are effectively immortal in their energy state, but all except the most ancient of them need physical bodies in order to interact with the world. If their body is killed or destroyed they will need to rebuild it, a process which can last from a week to several years depending on their skill in manipulating biology.
      </div>
</div><br/><br/><b>Gender</b>: Identifies as female<br/><br/><b>Age</b>: 31<br/><br/><b>Mental Illness</b>: Narcissistic personality disorder, paranoia<br/><br/><b>Appearance</b>: Ryn appears as a woman in her twenties of average height with completely symmetrical features. She is lightly and evenly tanned with waist-length brown hair and electric blue eyes. Her body is extremely lean with very well-defined muscles. She has long arms and legs, and her fingers and toes appear slender and delicately formed. While the rest of her body may undergo slight alterations from day to day, her face never changes; she appears proudest of her high cheekbones and heart-shaped lips. The energy fields which are her true form extend from her back and span two metres in total. They have no fixed shape, but she is fond of forming them into multiple pairs of angel wings. They change colour frequently.<br/><br/><b>History</b>: Ryn's homeworld was extremely advanced, with humans colonising several planets in the galaxy. She was born on one of the more remote worlds as the only child of parents who worked in the mines. Her childhood was relatively uneventful, with most of her time being spent in the community education centre with other children her age. She showed talent in, if not making friends, at least gathering followers. She led her group in bullying the other children but stopped when she realised that none of them were interesting enough to be worth her time and attention. She transformed when she was 18 and found work as a smuggler. She worked her way up the ranks quickly but it was not enough for her. She killed her boss when she was 21 and stole his ship, becoming a mercenary instead and building up her own crew. Her recklessness and delusions of grandeur grew over time, but not enough to affect her ability to complete jobs. Rumours of her exploits eventually reached the galactic government, which sent a hyper-butterfly officer to investigate.<br/><br/>As it turned out, he was the only one who ever came close to capturing her several times. His name was Bob and he had chosen an insectoid form for himself, compound eyes and all. He said that having four arms was convenient, but it gradually became clear that he shared her distaste for the ordinary and thirst for adventure. Needless to say, she was intrigued. This turned out to be her undoing, as he was able to catch her off-guard and sedate her in their last confrontation. His orders were to take her to government headquarters to be imprisoned, but he placed some blocks on her powers and brought her to Osmond's Institute instead.<br/><br/><b>Personality</b>: Ryn enjoys showing off and proving her superiority over others, feeling that ordinary people are beneath her. She believes that everyone should admire her, but if not, their fear and cautious respect will suffice. She is scornful of those who dislike her and treat her with perceived disrespect, and will retaliate by any means within her power. Indifference frustrates her, and she will be driven to make them either admire or fear her. She can be surprisingly considerate to people who flatter or respect her, but will become suspicious of their motives and turn vindictive quickly.<br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation</b>: Heterosexual<br/><br/><b>Fears</b>: Being outsmarted and humiliated, losing to others.<br/><br/><b>Capabilities</b>:<br/><br/>-Biological manipulation: Ryn can control any biological matter in the vicinity of her ""wings"". This is currently limited to affecting herself. Flesh and muscle can be formed quickly, but materials like bone or teeth take longer and are usually taken from elsewhere in her body. Ryn mostly uses this to keep her body in good condition and occasionally make some unsettling modifications (like tiny mouths on her fingertips). She needs to understand how any modifications would work before carrying them out. For example, if she wanted to eat through mouths on her hands, she would need to design a way for them to digest food and release the nutrients into her body.<br/><br/>-Controlling intermolecular bonds: Due to mental blocks placed by Bob, this is limited to altering phase states of various substances. While she can flash boil water and create dry ice, she cannot melt metal or liquidise other gases in air.<br/><br/><b>Miscellaneous</b>: She keeps herself meticulously clean and well-groomed. Threatening to move her to a room without a shower is a good way to get her to cooperate, as are rewards of hair conditioner and shampoo.<br/><br/><b>OOC Notes</b>: Ryn does not think of herself as a hyper-butterfly, but as a human with extraordinary powers. Since everyone in the institute has powers, she would not automatically look down on anyone there. However, this will also make her even more keen to prove herself. If a confrontation occurs, she will not back down easily."

<br/>Hey everyone, sorry I've been absent the past few days. I got very sick on Saturday and wound up going into the hospital late Sunday night. I just got out this afternoon, and I'm still on some pretty heavy-duty painkillers so I'm not exactly coherent. I'll be catching up on everything tomorrow!<br/>

21056,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-06-13 04:09:00,Maiden,"Glad to see you guys both made it over! I don't know about everyone else, but RPG crashed on me literally right after I made that OOC post and went to jump over to the IC. It didn't come back up for a couple hours... and honestly I got bored and fell asleep.<br/><br/>So, fingers crossed that things go better tonight. Aint nobody got time for technical issues. :)<br/><br/><b>Edit:</b>Okay, it occurs to me that I should be giving the new players some direction right about now. Fortunately for you two, the IC isn't very long yet, and I would suggest you read it all now if you haven't already. Basically, your characters need a tour as well. (At the end of<a href=""https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966/posts/ic?page=1#post-888671"">this post</a>is a brief IC description of the rooms that the patients are shown after they are finished with breakfast.)<br/><br/>Right now, it is lunchtime in the RP and you guys need to catch up from 7 AM till Noon. Basically, your characters are waking up in Osmond's for the first time. They were sedated on their homeworlds and have no memory of how they were transported to the Institute. They are greeted by an NPC Sibling Nurse (more info about those in the<a href=""https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966/posts/ooc?page=1#post-478172"">Plot Disclosures</a>post), most likely given some sort of medication (what it is and how it affects them is up to you, or I can create a med for you if you so choose), and then are shown down to the Cafeteria for breakfast. For continuity's sake, we'll simply say each of your characters was the only PC in the room during their meal. You can show as much or as little detail as you like. Complete the tour with your NPC and then have them arrive in the cafeteria for lunch with Cadie and Simone.<br/><br/><b>This part is for everyone.</b>Since the RP has been lagging a bit lately, we're going to go ahead and wrap up day one ASAP. Once everyone has had a chance to interact and get acquainted a little at lunch, We're going to do a small timeskip to the end of the day, after dinner. Patients will go to bed and we'll proceed directly to Group Therapy on day two. Pumirya knows what I'm talking about, Elsa might but I can't remember if we ran one while she was with us on the first Twisted. For the rest of you, more details will become available as they are necessary. ;)<br/><br/>Also, I am going to be a bit freer with the post requirements since the Guild has been rather wonky. I tried to read and write last night and couldn't get the Guild to load for me. (The Facebook group and DownForEveryoneOrJustMe both said it was offline.) It's done this to me several times in the past couple weeks. I would strongly suggest that everyone back up at least their Character Sheets and most recent posts; either to Google Docs or to your hard drive. Once bitten, twice shy.<br/><br/><b>@ Pumirya:</b>Your post was lovely, Cadie and I can totally work with that. It'll give me a chance to show something off. >:D"

Standard Asylum operating procedure is a one-way dimensional portal. You sort of get disassembled I think, and it's not something that you'd want to undergo while awake. You get drugged to sleep on your homeworld, and wake up in your room at Osmond's. It's intentionally disorienting. There's a second portal in Orrace, that's how Buck arrived, and he chose to be sedated during his travel as well. It's exceptionally painful... and sleeping patients do struggle less. ;)<br/><br/>@ Pum: Yeah, I think that will get things moving along a little bit. Also: always fun. ^_^<br/><br/>Posted a short one for Cadence. If anyone is interested in interacting with Buck, he's available... otherwise, he'll be doing nurse stuff... somewhere.

21060,Twisted Redux,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966-twisted-redux,['Advanced'],2014-06-15 18:02:00,Ethan,"<b>Character created based on '<a href=""https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/18966/posts/ooc?page=1#post-478157"">Twisted Redux</a>' Roleplay.</b><br/><br/><b>Name:</b>Roger Michaels<br/><br/><b>Species:</b>Human<br/><br/><b>Gender:</b>Male<br/><br/><b>Age:</b>86<br/><br/><b>Mental Illness:</b>Dementia, Metaphysical Solipsism: This means that he does not believe that anything truly exist outside of his own thoughts. He believes everything in reality is truly just his thoughts creating events. Topped with Dementia, he doesn't really understand from one moment to the next what he is doing, and remains inside his own self, not aware of what he is doing on the outside.<br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b>Roger is an aged decrepit old man, with gritty nasty teeth that look as if they hadn't been brushed in ages.His thin stringy white hair is usually a mess, and sits at a medium length around the back and sides of his head. The front and top have balded. Age spots and wrinkles litter his pale skin. His eyes are deep set and green. However, he rarely can be seen staring at anything in particular, as he often looks very blank, as if he is staring off into nothing. He oddly enough, usually has a crooked smile as he stares at the floor from his wheelchair.<br/><br/>His movements are very scarce, and often only shivers or episodes of realization, before sinking back into his seemingly comatose like state. He is rather scrawny in size, and has a stature of no more than five feet tall. Large, thick glasses adorn his face. They are a simple metallic color, and very old. As Roger seldom actually uses them, they sit on his thin flat nose, collecting dust until someone is usually kind enough to wipe them for him.<br/><br/><b>History:</b>Roger Michaels was born in 1920, in a small home of Washburn, Connecticut. He was the youngest son of 4 boys: Tom, Elmer, Jerry, and Roger. He grew up normal, for any boy growing up in that time period, though he was a bit more daring than his older brothers. He often played practical jokes that would get him in trouble and get in a furious game of Daring one another into doing crazy stuff. He in no way let his age hold him back in participating in the same things his brothers did.<br/><br/>As a young man, Roger, along with many men of those times fell into the war. Roger signed up right away. Elmer followed. The war was tough on Roger, losing many friends and even Family. Roger's mother Elsa passed away of breast cancer while he had been away, and Elmer was shot and killed in the line of duty. Jerry had become a drunk and was living with his oldest brother. Roger felt his family falling apart.<br/><br/>In 1941, Walt Disney released the film Dumbo. Roger was on momentary leave from the military and joined Jerry and Tom in watching the film. He could never quite explain it, but he instantly fell in love with it. Particularly the mouse. Afterwards, Roger found a fondness for cartoons and began creating his own drawings. This itself would get him through much of the war. His fellow soldiers all fell in love with his works and he would daily draw new strips.<br/><br/>In 1945, after the war, Roger met Colleen, who would become the love of his life. He eventually married her and had a son of his own. If that wasn't lucky enough, he landed a job in Walt Disney Studios, creating all sorts of characters. He also witnessed the rise of a cartoon he had written in the war based on his two brothers, Tom and Jerry, by another cartoonist who had taken it and made it famous. Life was good for Roger.<br/><br/>In 1950, Roger was called back to War. The war with Korea was raging on, and the U.S. began to secretly develop ways to stop the spread of communism. One of these was the testing of Super Soldiers. Roger was assigned to one of these testing facility. He didn't exactly like the idea, but he was eager as he usually was, and agreed to the adventure. The test came back negative again and again. Soon, the test however wore on Roger's mental state.<br/><br/>In 54', Roger's wife divorced him after his mental state began taking it's toll on his marriage. A year later, he lost his son in a car accident, and something strange began to happen. In his anguish, he had began to display reality altering abilities. It began with simple things, like water floating upwards from a glass and suddenly more powerful each time Roger displayed a strong emotional disturbance.<br/><br/>However, as Roger aged, it wasn't always this consistent. His powers began acting out on their own as roger's mental situation worsened, and he was clinically declared to have dementia. When his powers became too unstable, the Government took him him, watching him and testing as he aged. Soon, they could no longer control him. Something had to be done, and fast. Now, at 86 years old, Roger is emotionally and mentally void.. but he is there somewhere, because his powers still continue on... his personality showing in his shaping of reality.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>Roger has always been adventurous and full of energy. This is represented in his creations that often take on his own thoughts and personalities. They will commonly consider even the smallest things an adventure. They are highly brave and do not fear much they are faced with. They prefer to act before they think but always appreciates good art and a laugh. Jokes are another strong aspect of Roger's personality and thus of his creations. Many of them will make small nonsensical comments that are often meant to be jokes, though they aren't always understood in the context of what is happening. Many of his characters will go out of their way for the sake of a funny joke.<br/><br/>On the slip side to this, there is the occasional creation that will take on a less humorous outlook. These creations will often be heavily depressed, tired consistently, and walk lazily. These are few and far in between, but usually happen when Roger himself has startled briefly out of his nearly comatose state as a result of his dementia, causing a mild realization of his state and thus forcing his creation into a somber perspective on things.<br/><br/>Roger himself is rarely fully conscious. His immediate thoughts are often empty and inconclusive. The few times that they aren't, he'll often seem very scared and unsure of himself, occasionally causing an uproar until he is forced to sleep. There are small occasions, in which he'll become partially conscious, but lack a grasp on reality and often envision himself in a certain period of his past. These moments will occasionally arise and recreate themselves. It is because of his Dementia and his abilities, that he slowly developed Solipsism, in that he has become unsure of what is real and what is his mind making up. He has almost completely come to the conclusion that it is all his own mind's doing and thus nothing else is real.<br/><br/><b>Sexual Orientation:</b>HeteroSexual<br/><br/><b>Fears:</b>Having grown accustomed to his own abilities, he fears true reality. He fears what he has become with age and letting go of his concept of reality. On a smaller scale, he fears lack of adventure and often his creations will present this by turning everything into some kind of adventure. His only fear other than this, is cats. It's more of a mild fear though, extending from his common external placement of his own personality in rats and mice.<br/><br/><b>Capabilities:</b>Roger has the ability to shape reality with his thoughts. At one time, only being done sporadically or with a heightened sense of emotion, as he has aged, has become more consistent and uncontrollable. This is partially due to his Dementia.<br/><br/><b>Miscellaneous:</b>Due to the Nature of his personality, and his abilities (Not to mention his prior career), he is often labeled as, ""The Cartoonist""<br/><br/><b>OOC Notes:</b><br/><li>Most of Roger's interactions with other characters will be through his creations, that will take on and represent his personality.</li><br/><li>Due to Roger's severe ability to alter reality, I imagine the institute being able to suppress that for the most part, so that he can only make small changes, that are barely noticeable and impress his personality on things, taking an inanimate object or a small creature such as a mouse and turning it into a more humanoid type creature that can walk and talk.</li>"

He was ging on about a sbject she had read about earlier: the arrangement of atoms into molecules and the powers that kept them together. It was a pity she wasn't seated directly next to the windows, perhaps whoever the teacher had even taken this into account, making sure that those most easily prone to distraction weren't directly next to the alluring sight of the skies and the lush, green grounds of Yamaku. Instead, Sakura was seated two rows away from the windows, relatively in the middle of the classroom, near the back. The strategic placing had not been lost on her, no doubt the tall people were arranged near the back to ensure a an undeterred learning process for everyone else. That was one of her main issues with Yamaku. As much as it attempted to look as normal as it possibly could, liek a regular school, everything was calculated a little too extensively, from the millimeter cut grass to the accurately proportioned food that they served in the cafeteria for the students that had to take care of what they ate. The nurse had advised her to take eat meals high on proteine to ensure she'd gain weight and muscles swiftly, but Sakura just ate what she pleased.<br/><br/>Finally, the bell rang, prompting every student to pass a collective sigh of relief. Somehow most people seemed to grew sleepier and sleepier towards the end of the schoolday, only to suddenly get injected by a burst of energy the moment the bell sounded their release from the confines of the classroom to enjoy the rest of the pleasant spring day it seemed to be turning out to become.<i>""I'll be expecting exercises one to fifteen made by tomorrow, and don't forget to work on your paper on ions, which is due next week.""</i>The teacher managed to call out over the noise of everyone scrambling their things together into their backpacks, which added the simultanious, agonised groan of several less motivated students. While Sakura had been a classmember since the beginning of the year, she hadn't exactly made a whole lot of friends yet, no doubt in no small part related to her more softspoken nature. However, she had to admit that she was a little more apprehensive than she had initially anticipated. Many of the students were, in lack of a better word, weird, and that was the polite way of putting it. Obviously she had expected many students to be weird in their outwards appearance, but she had not perpared for the many quirky, if not outright odd personalities that some seemed to have, as had been proven by their antics in and out of class from what interactions she had had with them before.<br/><br/>With a little reluctance, Sakura scooped up her own things and dumped them into her bag which lacked any sort of order, her cane too, she reluctantly picked up. She supposed it wouldn't be accepted to try out a seat near the window and continue her train of thought. Rather recently, se had read a book about a castle in the sky, which made her pause to wonder at nearly every cloud that floated by, imagining by their shape what the arcitecture of the castle was and to which culture it belonged. Japanese, steampunk, european, african, wooden, stone, metal, ... She had even imagined how when two castles clashed together they had interactions with each other, thunder and lightning being the effect of the wars fought in between and the rain were the falling tears of its inhabitants.<br/><br/>It was only when she bumped into someone, hard, that she even realised that she had already left the classroom a while ago, her legs had carried her out of instinct towards the library, where she spent most of her time these days. The collision was not soft, her long legs carried her with such an increased speed these days that was hard to get used to. The downside was though, that she quickly lost her balance as well, which happened right now. Staggering backwards, her long arms flailed in the air like a drunk helicopter for a moment, almost claiming the eyes or noses from anyone standing too close. With a loud<i>""Ouf!""</i>She landed on her bum, quite confused and disoriented for a moment before she realised that what she had smashed into had been too soft for a wall or a pole, and had to be either a lifesized cushion, or a person. While cushions couldn't talk, she formulated her apologies quickly, before even making an attempt to get up.<i>""I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there, are you alright?""</i>She stared down at the ground, a bit too late realising that it was not the ground she had bumped into either, instead searching up to the human pillow."

Throught the lecture she found her mind wandering until the class was finally over. Sayuri found it difficult to maneuver her wheelchair through the mass of student desks and so she invariably ended up at the desk closest to the door. As a result she was usually the first person out of the classroom, aside from those nimble enough to slip out before she could direct her motorized wheelchair around her desk.<br/><br/>The hallway was crowded with students and the sounds of conversation were deafening, fortunately she didn't have to worry too much about the crowd as people didn't seem to keen to risk having their toes ran over, and so gave her a wide enough berth for her to make her way down the hallway towards the elevator at the very end. She heard a commotion from somewhere behind her, but the crowd made it impossible to easily turn her chair around, so she put it out of her mind and continued on. It wasn't a very big elevator and her chair filled a little over half the space, so she ended up with just two other people in it with her. They were heading downwards, discussing what they were going to eat from the cafeteria and paying no silver haired girl sitting beside them, while Sayuri's destination was up a level.<br/><br/>The elevator doors slid open silently and Sayuri drove her chair out into the quiet corridor. Compared to the noise downstairs, this level of the building seemed to be deserted. Mostly this level was used for club activities and she could still hear sounds of muted discussion coming from behind closed doors as she made her way towards the large double doors at the other end of the hall. The doors were open and she rolled easily into the large quiet room, filled with shelves and books. Sayuri liked the library at Yamaku. it was a place of peace and even normalcy. Despite the fact that it stocked hundreds of books for the visually impaired, it still had that same atmosphere that all libraries had. Sayuri had been at Yamaku for over two years now, long enough to get used to the place and even come to appreciate it, but this normal library would always be her favorite place.<br/><br/>Sayuri smiled as she wheeled past the front desk where Yuuko, the nervous librarian, was busily checking in a pile of returned books and made her way in amongst the towering shelves. Her soft blue eyes scanned the spines of each book as she slowly wheeled down the aisles. She wasn't looking for anything in particular. She just wanted to enjoy this peaceful atmosphere for a while."

An elderly man teaching students what the difference was from Integral and Differential calculus seemed to be the daily torture for the lesson. His voice seemed to drone endlessly, over and over.

The moment that her phone unlocks and when she falls to the floor seem to match exactly. Not seeing where she was going, her foot was caught on what felt like a long stick.

As they have been yesterday, and the day before. Mizuki never liked learning, but always did out of obligation and to keep her perfect image in the eyes of teachers and those students, who didn't know her that well. Back when these things mattered. Back when she still had a normal life, and a normal, functional body, she used to be a top of the class, honor student, an example many looked up to. However, the accident changed everything. She naively believed that she can make a new life at Yamaku, but that faith has been shattered almost instantly on the arrival. This place is sick, and so are the students ,and so is the omni present atmosphere. This is not a school, this is a hospital. Why should she try to be the best? There is not point if being a queen of retards, the best of the worst!<br/><br/>It's been several weeks already, and she didn't try paying attention even once. During the classes, she usually sat attentively, looked straight in teacher's direction and doodled random geometrical figures in her notebook, pretending to make notes. Geometrical figures was all she could draw, as her dominant, right hand was pretty much useless and she couldn't draw well with the left one yet. Not that she ever will-art was never her forte. Rather, the pointless, black-on-white geometrical figures, question marks and straight lines were an expression of boredom, irritation and discomfort, that accompanied her thorough her entire stay in Yamaku so far. She was sited right next to the window, but she never looked up. In fact, she wished she was sited away from it. The windows were way too big, the rooms were way to bright, and there, beyond the window, was an omnipresent, green scenery that made her feel sick, and homesick. She missed Tokyo. She missed the high sky-scrappers, and the crowds of people, and the fashion, and Shibuya. But of course, the life of Tokyo's famous youth district was beyond her reach, now that her body was the way it is. It used to be depressing back in the hospital, being so close to all these things, yet so far. Mizuki thought that staying away from the city will be less painful then not, but she was wrong, and she wanted to go back, and be free from this place, or this sick existence. Forvever.<br/><br/>Of course, such wishes could never be granted. The only freedom she was granted, was the freedom from this class, announced by the loud ringing of the bell, familiar tune snapping her back to reality. Mizuki did that often, lately-thinking about her miserable condition, wishing to be somewhere else, hating on her surroundings. For other people, it looked like she was ""day dreaming"", but to her, it was more akin to ""day-nightmaring"", if she was to call it anything at all. Supporting herself on the crutch, she slowly made her way out of class. Slowly. Not that she had a choice, going fast was literally impossible. That was one thing that didn't bother her in the slightest, as she was never a big fan of running and physical exercise, unpleasnatries that her accident had liberated her from, which was probably the only good thing about the entire situation.<br/><br/>Tap, tap, tap. Her goal was the library. Tap, tap tap. She made her way through the crowds of students, glancing left and right, observing every one of them individually and all at once. She delighted herself in spotting those who looked to be in a worse condition then herself-like that girl on the wheelchair who looked like she's two legs in grave already, pun intended. No matter how badly Mizuki felt about herself, at least she was alive and not dying-which can't be said about some of the other students, much to her amusement. However, those who looked well and didn't seem to miss anything in their body were unforgivable, and Yamaku had a fair share of such students, too. Why were they even here? They probably had some internal issues, and most of them, she bet, could lead normal life(unlike herself, for example). She'd much rather they weren't hear. She'd much rather have them disappear and be left with the ones with prosthetic limbs, crutches and wheelchairs, like she originally imagined it to be. The existence of these other..healthy..students was a shadow on her self-confidence.<br/><br/>Like for example, that giant red haired girl walking straight into her...eh?<br/>There was a frontal collision, and one that couldn't possibly end well for her. Not only was her opponent at advantage(much, much taller, bigger, faster etc.), but more importantly, Mizuki was walking with a crutch, and it was hard to support herself as she was. Even a small push would be enough to bring her down-at this was much, much stronger then a small push. It felt more like a close encounter with a tsunami. Down, down she went, spinning round and round in the air, before landing face-down with a loud *thump* mixed with a louder *splash* and then loud *thump* again as her nemesis herself followed the fate of her victim shortly afterwards. Mizuki considered herself lucky that her crutch and right arm were bound together with several, thick, medical straps, that they often used in hospitals, cars, and mental facilities. Otherwise, she'd doubtlessly lose hold of it, and crawling on the ground, looking for a crutch or(even worse), asking someone to help her with that would be too much for her sense of pride and general self-respect to handle.<br/><br/>Supporting herself with the crutch and using her healthy hand to manually pull her paralyzed leg up, she slowly rose up, disregarding the irritating sounds the red-haired giant made behind her. After getting up, and checking that her clothes are in order(she was wearing one of the longer skirts, fortunately..dread to think what could have been exposed to the public eye should she had chosen to wear the shorter version), Mizuki finally turned around, to give a piece of her mind to the source of her misfortunes.<br/>""<i>Die</i>""-was the only thing she had to say to that disorderly delinquent. Her voice cold, a mixture of hatred and disgust. From her experience, tall girls were more often then not, airheads and blissfully unaware of what a spectacle they sometimes make of themselves with their height and what not-and this one, seemed to be no different, unfortunately. Making apologies like her life depended on it. Duh. If Mizuki was healthy and well, she'd, no doubt about that, give the red hair a piece of her mind. But Mizuki wasn't healthy and well, and thus, she was careful not to lose hold of herself, too much. However, she was no angel(although she definitely used to be one) and her patience had it's limits. How the situation progressed from now on, depended solely on the actions of her villain."

Now I just have to finish these last two and then...</i><br/><br/>The bell began ringing and the sudden rush of wind that was common place where Takashi sat. Directly in the center, second row back. It seemed everyday there was some typhoon that blew past him so that everyone could get back to their homes. Something that frustrated Takashi to no end. Especially when his cane and work would fly off his desk as a result. And with no one aware of what was going on around them, he would always have to pick up his own things. Would it kill anyone to help out? No no no no, please. That would be far too much for the common folk and riff raff of Yamaku. Everyone out and concerned about what they were going to do rather than what they did to others around them. You would think that with everyone suffering from some kind of ailment there would be more precedent to care for thy fellow man. Then again most people here were still very young and naive so perhaps that was excuse enough.<br/><br/>Staying in his chair, Takashi bent over to pick up his bag and his papers, some of which had just been finished in the middle of lecture. Being a man who liked to take action and not leave things for the last minute, Takashi had made it a habit to do work in class and during free periods so he wouldn't have anything pressing on him late at night. After collecting all of his work and sorting it into his bag, he quickly draped the bag over his shoulder and picked his cane up from the ground. Getting the feel for the ground and how much energy he would have to put into walking now, he was proud to see that it was not as bad as it was earlier that day. Perhaps sitting and working brought some extra strength to his legs. Looking at the clock he saw he had time to relax and felt a trip to the library was in order. He knew a lot of other students in his class that went there as well, so it was a good hang out after school. Better than most places surrounding the school.<br/><br/>Finally reaching the library, Takashi gave a quick nod to the quiet librarian that greeted everyone there. Inside he could already hear familiar voices yelling back and forth with a few unfamiliar ones sprinkled in among the whispers as well. There were so many shelves and aisles in the room it was hard to tell exactly who and where everyone was in the dimly lit room. It was hard to imagine that anyone could read well in here when the lights weren't turned on. The window light wasn't very useful and where it was bright, it was often bright enough to make the old paper pages of the books reflect back into your eyes. Definitely a difficult place to work with. Heading down a few aisles, Takashi began searching for something in the mystery section, hoping to stimulate some kind of thought in his mind. A mind at rest was a mind wasted he always thought.<br/><br/>""Now where in the world was that detective story about ""The Desert Eye""? I know I saw it in the C section just the other day."" Takashi whispered to himself as he continued to walk up the aisle, not noticing an girl in a wheelchair down the other end of the aisle."

The demonic forces of Azzendaer was conquering more land every passing day, hordes of demons ravaging the land, just as they have ravaged the skies. The nations of the humans were united, their legions of swordmasters standing ground, but ultimately losing ground. In a battle of attrition where one side had the power to create more warriors on demand, it was clear that the humanity that Jay pledged to protect was on the losing side of things.<br/><br/>The Metal General, Kaisemorde, was one of the Hamadra clan demons, the snakes renown for blinding speed and flexibility.<br/><br/>Yet, if he was able to kill Kaisemorde, the enemy's morale will drop. Mass produced demons weren't smart, after all. They required a leader, and leaders took more time to create than a footsoldier. One month? Two months? If he won, that was the amount of reprieve that he would be giving humans. And he would not be getting anything in return.<br/><br/>Because he did not deserve to get any compensation, not when he was weighed down by 999 sins.<br/><br/>From afar, on top of the mountains, he could see the massive snake of metal, and the intimidating figure that sat on a spiked throne embedded into the skull of the beast.<br/><br/>No doubt, the demon general could sense his killing intent from ten miles away.<br/><br/>But that was alright. He never wanted to act with subtlety again.<br/><br/>His red eyes flashed, and his demon's heart burned, the impure blood of a tainted soul coursing through his body. His back expanded, the crackling of new-formed bones ripping through his flesh. They expanded into skeletal wings as night-blue feathers grew on them. Finally, at three times the length of his body, Jay's wings expanded, and he jumped off the building, hands clasped in a prayer that a demon did not deserve.<br/><br/>“In this moment of Eternity,<br/>I of demon's heart and angel's tears beseech thee.<br/>Permit me to smite evil in Heaven's stead.<br/>For only in the darkness can a monster's sin be judged.<br/>Heed my call,<br/>Immaculate Blade of Black Heavens,<br/>Exizanar-Hier!”<br/><br/>A bird became an arrow as it cut through the broken skies, ready to pierce the soul of the Sower of Corruption.</i></center><br/><br/>Then, Jay Lowell, known officially as Haruto Mizuki, woke up. Brushing aside the light novel that had shielded his eyes from the orange rays of the afternoon sun, the raven-haired narcoleptic took in a deep breath, checked his wristwatch, looked around him, and deduced that he must have fallen asleep during the break between his second and third classes, sleeping long enough that he had missed the rest of his classes for the day. Slightly annoying, but he was accustom to it by now. It was only his last class that he cared about, after all. In a world of magic, he needed to expand his knowledge of science. Perhaps then, humanity would finally be able to gain a 'true' advantage over the demons of Azzendaer. The science teacher, Mutou, was teaching the secrets of creation on the smallest scale possible. Molecular bonding. What an absolutely fascinating and powerful area of study. Imagine if a spell was crafted that could immediately sever the bonds between atoms. A mono-atomic blade, capable of cutting through any armor, regardless of how thick it was. No, even more, imagine if humans crafted mono-atomic arrowheads! That would easily quadruple the damage output of the human race, and force the demons to exhaust their magical energies protecting themselves from material attacks.<br/><br/>But first, he needed to get to the classroom. Rolling off the park bench and slapping his light novel into his bag, the boy grinned, brought both hands behind his back to secure the limiter of his demonic powers, the Blessed Ribbon of Thurisaz, and imagined his route. He had already slept moments before, so this time, he shouldn't suffer from a sudden bout of exhaustion that sends him falling flat onto his face like a drunk. And the park was still devoid of students.<br/><br/><b>“So I can go all out! I call upon your power, Talisman of Aegis! Open up a gate into time, and let me pass into the past!”</b><br/><br/>He turned his wristwatch's time five minutes back, and then ran back to Yamaku.<br/><br/>It took him exactly five minutes, and Jay fist-pumped triumphantly as he arrived 'just as classes ended'. Reverting his watch back to the proper time, the boy with hair longer than most girls closed his eyes once more, reminded himself that he was in the presence of mortals, and began to ascend the stairs, towards the room of Scientology on the third floor. He twisted elegantly, dodging swaths of people and always allowing the ladies passage through an entryway first, such was his knightly conduct.<br/><br/>Black sparkles of cool elegance were literally flying off him as he waltzed against the tide of humans in the hallways.<br/><br/>And, like any kind, mysterious outlaw demon knight with a grim, dark, tragic, heart-shattering, soul-crushing past, he even stopped by the scene of what appeared to be a three-woman collision in the hallway. Though his instinct told him that it was never a good idea to get into what seemed like a soon-to-be deathmatch, he discarded his life-preservation instincts, choosing the more dangerous route instead.<br/><br/>Anyways, the red-headed giant was one of the classmates whose names he actually remembered, and with a smile, he picked up her cane for her and offered her a hand.<br/><br/><b>“Afternoon, Kushuda-san. Are you alright? It appears that quite a big akushidento happened here.”</b><br/><br/>For now, he'll ignore the death auras of the other two girls."

Junko was trying to make a smoke ring, but that was a bit hard to do in the breeze.<br/><br/>It was so peaceful up here on the roof. The breeze and the vista it offered never failed to grant her a sense of peace. That and it was always a good place for a smoke.

This place made her forget, at least for the moment, about her friends and her old life back in her hometown.<br/><br/>""Wonder how the Blue Falcon is faring nowadays?""<br/><br/>She took one last cigarette from the box and pulled up a loose brick near the piping, revealing her secret stash of things, mostly snacks and a few packs of cigarettes.<br/><br/>What worries her most however was the papers and assignments. Maybe she can copy Sakura's homework, or perhaps Sayuri. Invincible Warrior Man would do in a pinch, but then she had to listen to how he defeated the demon of Tralfagaz's Reach with only a broken sword and a bottle of mana."

The shelves were much taller then her and she was sitting, so she was really only able to see a fraction of the books. This seemed like an oversight by the school, she thought idly to herself. She thought they would've put more thought into the high of the bookshelves, considering many students might have trouble reaching the higher levels.<br/><br/>Sayuri wasn't too bothered by it though, and she almost always was able to find something interesting to read within her reach. She stopped her chair when her eyes came to rest on one such book. She didn't know exactly what made her stop at this one over all the others, but she was rarely disappointed when she followed these little flights of intuition. She reached up a shaking hand, having to force her weakening muscles to obey her, and slid the book out from it's place in the shelf and onto her lap. Moving her arms had started to get a little harder lately, as if her muscles were constantly asleep, but at least she could still move her fingers for the most part, aside from those brief times that they just completely refused to move as she wanted.<br/><br/>Sayuri looked down at the cover of the book she had chosen. She didn't recognise the author, though the title was interesting. ""The Desert Eye..."" She mumbled as she turned the book over and read the blurb on the back. Apparently it was one of those detective novels, part of a series perhaps? She turned it back over and looked down at the cover once more, as it sat on her lap. She was thinking about where to go and read. The weather outside was nice, sunny with a scattering of light clouds. Some sunlight would be nice, though the Library itself was also nice and quiet right now, so maybe she could find a place near a window."

Much like other things that the boy needed at the school. Is the calculator in the closet? No, it just so happens to be placed somewhere along the back shelves of the room. Is the pencil box filled with pencils? It just so happens that they decided to be placed in a cup on the professor's desk. Absolute annoyances all the way around. And yet when he brought up the constant lack of organization, people always called him out as some kind of perfectionist. Perfection and convenience are two very different things, but clearly not in the eyes of judgement. Just thinking about it all gave the boy a headache he felt not even the most powerful medication would be able to fix.<br/><br/>Eventually finding the first entry in the series he was trying to read he pulled it off the shelf and began looking it over. It seemed like more dust had collected in it when compared to other books in the library. This place was frequented often by students just looking the pass the time. A close second was the fields for playing team sports such as soccer and after that was the random fields of grass between some of the major buildings. People would set out blankets and enjoy a nice little meal every once and a while out there to enjoy the sun. Takashi tried it himself, but found it embarrassing when he could barely pick himself up afterwards. He hated looking so damn weak out there among the eyes of his classmates. Even though they all shared some kind of disability, it wasn't pleasant when everyone could see you struggle with yours.<br/><br/>Shaking his head he skimmed through the book again and noticed a few of his previously made flaps to the pages. Apparently the reason the book was so dusty was that he was the last one to touch the thing, and that must have been at the very least two months ago. The whole plot to the book was a middle aged man and his son finding themselves called upon to find old relics that had been stolen for monetary value. Trailing the thieves with clues and leads they eventually found the culprits at the end of each story, with the son doing the usual heroic deeds of fighting off enemies while the father took care of puzzles or riddles they needed solved. A true muscle and brains kind of duo. It was old serial stuff, but Takashi loved it so.<br/><br/>Placing the book under his arm he placed his weight down on the can in his right hand. It seemed that standing for so long looking had made his legs a little sore again. He was forced to put the weight on his toes and walk like a crane. A crane with literally no finesse as it would be. Turning his head down the aisle he noticed a familiar wheel chair and blue hair. The boy smiled as he began heading over to her. ""Well well Sayuri. I should have guessed you would be down here today."" He said as he eventually came to a stop near her. He always kept a bit of distance between himself and anyone in a chair, just because you never knew when the device would get a mind of its own. Gravity was always tricky, and momentum a deceitful mistress. ""I hope the elevator wasn't crushing you like it did last week. Honestly, you'd think the acceptance rate at this school wouldn't be so dramatic."" Takashi said with a laugh as he placed an arm on a shelf next to him, trying to take as much weight off his legs as possible that way he wouldn't begin feeling the usual strain that came later in the day."

It dawned on her after a while that she hadn't barreled into just one person, but two people, which exlpained why she had toppled easily despite seemingly being a lot taller than both of them. As far as weight went though, she was probably in the same category, if not even less. It might have been worse if she had been the only person left standing, as she recalled from before she became tall how tall people used to like bullying those smaller than them. It hadn't felt as hard to her at first, but that might have been because her thoughts and senses had been at a completely different location to actually register the impact of the collision properly. Her rear was seriously starting to hurt now, and she noted how most of her things had scattered across the hallway, possibly mixed wth the items of the others. To their possibe irritation, she averted her attention from the two girls she had slammed into, making sure that nothing she had previously been carrying had magically vanished one way or the other. It didn't seem like that much of an unlikely thing to happen.<br/><br/>Finally, her attention drifted back towards the less than pleased pair of people. In her mind's eye,the two of them looked a lot older and more experienced than her, remembering from her years in middle school what it had meant to disrespect one of your elders. She had never really been the target of bullying, but had seen it happen before, and it was usually the older that picked on the younger and smaller. Despite the fact that she fit into neither of these categories anymore, her mind had not progressed beyond the idea of being a relatively new person in highschol, which bumped her back to the bottom of the ladder.<br/><br/>While her mind was processing all of these things, she remained on the ground a lot longer than the others, having given them the time to rise up and tower over her, which only brought the impression that she was actually the smaller, younger one home. Unfortunately for her, neither of them seemed to be very understanding. The girl with black hair adopted an agressive stance, her fists clenched which briefly made Sakura shift herself backwards, almost tossing up her arms in defense out of fear from an incoming punch to her face while she was still down on the ground. She had had only brief interactions with her, the voice in her mind reminded her that this one's name had something to do with a colour, yet in her current confused state she didn't really remember it, instead taking a gamble to her name.<i>""I'm sorry Crimson, I don't have a problem... welI I have a few, but none with- I didn't mean to-...""</i>She stammered hurriedly.<br/><br/>Before she could finish her sentence, the other one she had bashed into rose as well. While Scarlett had given off an instant and very clear aggressive tone, the other one almost made her skin crawl. The word<i>""Die.""</i>rung in her head, did she actually mean for her to die? Surely she couldn't, ... could she? The posion oozing from her voice was enough to make her believe that if words could kill, she'd be ended right then and there. The name of this girl was stored somewhere in her memory as well, but as much as she wanted to remember, she just couldn't completely recall it. Even if she had, at the moment she probably wasn't able to maje use of it it all right now. The malice and contempt in her voice were enough to petrify her for a few seconds as she stared back at her with two wide eyes, resembling those of a deer caught in the headlights of a truck.<br/><br/>The way things were looking right now, she was going to face fate as a deer exactly. Though instead of a truck hitting her, it might be the furious fists or insults of these girls. If it had been only oneof these two, she might have been able to handle them in a diplomatic manner, but with two glaring down at her with such contempt, her mind jammed each time she worked up something to say. What might calm down one person could enrage the other, and vice versa. Her gaze flicked back in between the two, unable to keep their glare for longer than a split second, only to be met by the glare of the other one the moment she tore her gaze away.<br/><br/>Thankfully, her cane hovered out of view into a fourth person's hand, whose other hand was thrust out towards her to help her up, as she still hadn't been able to pick herself up. With the tiniest of nods, she carefully slid her hand into his, the weak grip of her slender, long fingers not being of much a help to get herself up. With more than just a little bit of quivering protest, her legs stumbled back up as well, not used to getting up like this, let alone with suc huge, clumsy limbs that didn't seem all that inclined to cooperate with her as well as she'd have liked. It was only when she towered back out over the two that had risen before her that she remembered herself who the tallest, and possibly even oldest one around here was, boosting her self confidence. She murmured a quick<i>""Thank you... Mizuki-san.""</i>towards her saviour, whose identity was easier to place. His antics were pretty infamous, in the school already from the brief time she had spent here.<br/><br/>Taking a precautionary step backwards, she dipped her head forwards, bending nearly likea rigid plank towards the two as she bowed before them. Her height didn't help here though, in her bowed position she was about the same height as them, rather than actually being lower than them. Had she gone lower tohugh, she couldn't trust herself to keep standing upright, out of danger of toppling over once more. Balance always was a thing that people took for granted until it was absent. Perhaps with the little demonstration of how frail balance was, the two girls might agree, but they were more likely to blame it on her instead as it seemed. There were no illusions in her mind that they might be able to imagine how clumsy and hard to control such a tall body really was.<br/><i>""I'm terribly sorry, I meant no harm. Honest.""</i><br/>She apologised more to the ground than the actual people, her eyes briefly flicking past the fringes of her hair dangling in front of her face as she stood bent over in a rather clumsy, if not even mockingly-looking bow. Grace evidently was something that had not yet manifested in her."

Kushuda Sakura. It's hard not to notice her. In fact, she's probably one of the most outstanding people in the school. Not only is she tall beyond the norm, but, perhaps more importantly, her distinct red hair, drew attention-perhaps more so then she realized. Mizuki noticed that the girl is pretty air headed, and often unaware of her surroundings. Like she's living in a dream or something. This trait of hers, Aizawa Mizuki didn't like in particular. She was never fond of people who don't care about their self-image (and, in the past, did not hesitate to<i>demonstrate</i>to them exactly how important it is to be mindful of one's own surroundings) and would absolutely love to stage one such demonstration right now, if she had her friends and wasn't half paralyzed, herself.<br/><br/>But unfortunately, she was, and nothing could have been done about it. While thinking of what next to say, without embarrassing herself while doing so, a long-haired boy who seemed vaguely familiar came to Sakura's rescue, making the situation that much more awkward.<i>She's the offender, why is she getting helped?</i>, yet voicing this sort of complaint would be pretty much useless. As much as she despised the girl, there was literally no way she could retaliate. She'll be forced to move on and pretend nothing happened. The red hair's oh-so-sincere apologies didn't make it easier to tell her anything bad, either. In the end, nothing did happen, indeed. The only thing hurt was, ultimately, her pride. She decided to drop it, and leave the scene before she says or does something she'd regret. Even though it's been quite a while since the accident, sometimes, she still tends to forget that she's disabled now and, therefore, in no position to look down or talk back to normal, healthy people (like these two appeared to be). Or rather, normal disabled people aren't, for Mizuki often considered herself naturally above the rest, even if slightly.<br/><br/>Shifting her attention from Sakura, she noticed that the entire incident had one additional victim. A taller girl with distinct, black hair(that she suspected were either fake, dyed, stolen, or all these things combined. There is absolutely<i>no way</i>these hair were real, no doubt about that. For one, Mizuki's own hair, which she used to care for dearly, could never reach such a brilliant hue, and therefore, no other hair were permitted, either). The girl wasn't satisfied with the entire incident either, and they could have easily teamed up on apologetic Sakura together, if not for the intervention of that cursed long haired boy, to whom she now directed her attention.<br/><br/>She was a little surprised when he was addressed with the same name as hers, though quickly regained her composure, realizing it's a surname in his case. Coincidences happen. That being noted, he looked pretty out of it himself. She wondered what his disability was. While Mizuki was pretty certain that Sakura had a hopeless case of gigantism, the boy looked perfectly healthy. Even handsome, except that she wasn't into guys with excessively long hair and messy clothes. She hated people with messy clothes, how hard is it to take care of one's attire anyway(never mind that she too didn't pay much attention to her exterior, lately)? Frowning on him for a little bit longer then a moment, she turned to the red haired girl and decided it's time to make a step back. Without looking her in the eye, she turned away with a clear ""<i>Never mind</i>"", indicating she's not very much interested in further conversation. Leave the messy freaks to their messy ways. She'll find a way to have revenge on some other occasion, no doubt."

Takashi Midiara, a classmate and fellow bibliophile was standing in front of her. She smiled up at him from her chair. ""Ah Midiara-kun, a pleasure to see you. Actually today the elevator was almost deserted. I guess people are getting sick of having their toes run over."" She said joking, she always made a point to avoid getting people's feet stuck under her wheels, though accidents did happen from time to time.<br/><br/>Sayuri wouldn't go so far as to say that She and Takashi were friends, but he was one of the few people in her class that she'd had more than simple fleeting conversations with, in fact some hadn't even said one word to her yet. Still she held some fondness for him, even if he had a habit of keeping his distance, and she didn't mean physically. She had noticed an apathy in him at times that could make him seem distant.<br/><br/>The girl pulled herself out of her thoughts and glanced at the book Takashi held. It was dusty but still held the worn appearance of being well read and she recognised the author's name. ""Oh, it looks like we've picked up books from the same writer today, Midiara-kun."" She tapped her long fingers on the book sitting on her lap as she moved her chair alongside him so he could see the cover. ""Is their work any good?"" She asked, looking up at him."

It had become a bit of a complaint it seemed among students who had good working legs or had a trot without a limp at the amount of times they would be hurt by chairs and canes. The amount of times that students would go to him with complaints about how is cane at time would slip into people's walking paths was hilarious to the young man. Not that he enjoyed hindering others, but that such a simple little tool could cause such a large headache among those around him.<br/><br/>Sayuri was always one quick with a joke. Then again, perhaps Takashi thought that simply due to the lack of real conversation that the two had over the course of their scholastic careers. Most of the time it was a simple passing discussion about the weather or how they each fared on a test they had just completed for one of their courses. And the few occasions that there was a deep conversation it always seemed to be forced and immediately replaced with something that was a bit simpler and quicker. Albeit more often than not Takashi was responsible for pushing the discussion to an end.<br/><br/>It wasn't that he didn't enjoy conversation, it was more just due to the fact that speaking about personal problems and his past didn't seem like a proper thing to discuss with someone in public. The two never had an alone conversation as it was always in a public place with constant traffic surrounding them at times. Then again, when you live in a school like Yamaku the ability to be alone was almost impossible unless you rented out a room for a private meeting. Hardly anyone he knew did something as childish and juvenile as that.<br/><br/>Turning his attention back to the girl in front of him, he noticed she had moved to his side. She mentioned that the authors were the same. Looking up at him, he looked down at the book in her lap and read out the cover.<i>Sights on the Desert Eye</i>. Takashi showed a smile on his face as he pointed to the book. “I'll be, that was actually a book I was looking for myself. It's the third of the series actually.” The boy explained as he moved the book in his hands to hold it from the spine, showing the cover of the literary piece he held.<br/><br/>On it was a small drawing of the two main characters, the father and his son running towards the viewer with what appeared to be a stone carving under the younger man's arms. The title read out<i>History Lost in Stone</i>. Takashi turned it to his face and gave a chuckle. “I personally love this series with all the puzzles and tricks that the two heroes have to over come. It has some obligatory nuances like action and romance at times, but all of it isn't just thrown in there for the sake of it.” He said as he pulled it back under his arm and readjusted himself on the shelf he was leaning on. “It's a good read for those looking for a bit of a mystery with a side of brain teasers here and there.” Takashi explained with a small smile on his face."

Normally, he wouldn't be as interested. Chemistry was not his forte, physics was. But the inclusion of inter-atomic forces made Isamu interested enough. Atoms and molecules made up literally everything observable in existence, be they antimatter or the garden-variety stuff you see every day. He appreciated the science of molecular bonds. As two wise astrophysicists had said: ""We are all connected: to each other biologically, to the Earth chemically, and to the rest of the Universe atomically."" (Neil Degrasse Tyson) and ""The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together."" (Carl Sagan)<br/><br/>He could go on for an hour about atoms, the connections they made and how important they were. But now he had homework and a paper about ions. Being the over-achiever he was with science, Isamu had thrown a few bits about plasma into his paper. Nothing they'd learned in class, just research he'd done independently. He was so extremely fond of Mutou. So extremely fond that he wouldn't even be surprised if somebody...got the wrong idea about their relationship. It had happened once before at Yamaku, and there was nobody to blame but Isamu. He was so enthusiastic about science and making friends that he often crossed boundaries few others would dare to cross with teachers. Usually, nothing came of it, but when he hugged one teacher, he earned himself a good thirty-minute lecture on appropriate conduct between teachers and students.<br/><br/>Following the hordes of students out of class, Isamu made sure not to bump into anybody. If there was a single student at Yamaku who was extremely careful about the conditions of others, it was Tanaka Isamu. Part of it came from the fact that this was his fourth year here. Part of it came from the fact that a classmate had nearly died two years ago after a run-in with a careless hall-walker. But really, it mainly came from his heightened sense of friendliness and empathy because he never had real friendship growing up. So when a distinctly noticeable girl with distinctly noticeable hair crashed into another of his classmates, Tanaka was the...<i> SECOND </i>to spring into action?! Never mind, it was just Haruto. Of all people, he was the other one you'd likely find at the scene of an incident like this, offering a hand.<br/><br/>Sighing to himself at his, Isamu approached the retreating party of the crash, the one who had a cane securely strapped to her arm, keeping a good half-meter of distance between them. ""Hey, are you alright? That looked like a pretty rough fall there. I hate to see anybody get hurt because of stuff like that."" Reaching behind his body and scratching the back of his head, he looked at the obvious offender. ""I take it she wasn't looking where she was going? From what I saw, she seems pretty clumsy in general. Hm...maybe she has some sort of...brain disorder that messes with her balance? No...that would be a mental condition."" Noticing that he was thinking the last bit out loud, he made a dismissing motion with his hand. ""Ignore that last bit, just...just thinking out loud. I do that sometimes."""

As he pulled the skinny girl up, Jay was painfully aware of the height difference between the two, with the red head easily standing a head above him. Sorta awkward, but then again, who cares? It was the duty of a Knight of Wings to assist a fallen Valkyrie, after all, even when his own wings were dyed in tar and blood, weighed down equally by sin and atonement. Offering her cane like one would with a sword, Jay said in reponse to her gratitude,<b>“My wings are yours, Valkyrie of Sunfire. It's only natural.”</b><br/><br/>As she went through the typical apologies to the individuals involved, instead of simply smiting the plebians with heavenwrath, slaying them for their lese majeste like any normal noble would, the boy took that chance as one to take a look at the other one that was involved in the incident. A lady with long, well-kept hair, if not as long or ruggedly wild as his own was. Her face looked a little stiff, almost like that of a mask, which made Jay narrow his red eyes slightly. A human from the outside, perhaps, but Azzendaer wasn't a fool. He was capable of molding demons in the shape of humans. So, would it be possible that his influence has even reached this sanctuary now? Before Jay could use his Seer's Eye of Mindmaster though, the Yamato Nadeshiko turned around, broke contact, and left. A connection could not be established, and he made an almost inaudible 'tsk'. He'd have to remember her face for now. At the moment, his duty chained him by the side of Kushuda Sakura.<br/><br/>After all, considering the whole situation, she was pretty much obligated to do him a favor now. An impure, ulterior motive, really. But demons aren't angels, and ultimately, that was how it was.<br/><br/>Smiling, he then asked,<b>“By the way, Kushuda-san, did you take notes during class today? Mind if I take a look at them? I had to miss out on afternoon class because of battle preparations against Kaisemorde.”</b><br/><br/>Yeah, if he remembered correctly, she was actually smart, so hopefully she did what he couldn't."

Another boy. For a change, this one had much, much shorter hair then the other one. He too, looked vaguely familiar, but she couldn't recall his name or disability. Not that it mattered. His words of compassion made her sort of angry. She didn't like to be pitied, it was humiliating. He seemed to have good intentions, but for Mizuki, it was like twisting a knife in her wound. However, again, there was little she could do, other then dismissing him and retreating somewhere far away. Right as she was about to say something cold to him, he scratched the back of his head in a silly motion, and she noticed that there is something wrong with his hands. Now she wasn't in the mood to talk, and just as she was about to dismiss him,he she noticed that his hands are weird. Upon closer inspection, Mizuki realized that he has only three fingers. She glanced at her dysfunctional right hand. She had all five, but only two were functional. Does that mean she has it worse?<br/><br/>No..wait a minute..wait a minute. Since when did her jealousy of those, who are healthy and well turned into a jealousy of anyone and everyone who is at least slightly less dysfunctional then herself? However, before that doubtlessly revolutionary observation could settle in her brain, she found herself chuckling at his notion of Sakura having a brain disorder, and utterly forgot what she was thinking about just a moment ago. A treacherous giggle! Knowing that it was too late to play it cold now, she decided to carry on with the conversation.<br/><br/>""<i>Haha, you don't need to apologize for that. I also think that some students here have more then just physical problems</i>"". Naturally, she was excluded from that list. For a moment she was tempted to go on in that direction and share with him some of her<i>other</i>ideas regarding the red-haired girl, but in the end, decided against it and changed topic a little bit. ""<i>I'm Aizawa Mizuki..I think we're classmates.</i>"" Yes..she as certain they were in the same class. Won't hurt to ask his name.<br/><br/>""<i>I'm <b>sorry</b></i>"", she said, exaggerating the ""sorry"" on purpose, ""<i>but I've only transfered a few weeks ago, having spend some time in the <b>hospital</b>, and I don't remember everyone's name yet.

There was no hesitation or deliberation in her steps, not after all the time she had spent using the prosthetic feet. True she still stumbled or fell down from time to time, but at least she wasn't too conscious about her legs now. Except maybe how fat she would look in certain jeans.<br/><br/>Rummaging about in her bag, she pulled out a box of Pocky, and pulled out a few sticks of it.<br/><br/><i>""Mind if I take a look at them? I had to miss out on afternoon class because of battle preparations against Kaisemorde.”</i><br/><br/>*crunch*<br/><br/>Junko looked blank for a moment, crunching on the Pocky stick. That was the first thing she heard when she came down the stairs, and the first thing she saw was Invincible Warrior and Sakura together. It wasn't that hard to connect in her mind, two person standing close, and Invincible Man wanted to see<i>those</i>. Boys will be boys.<br/><br/>""Yo, I wasn't interrupting anything, am I?"" Junko pulled out another Pocky stick and put it in her mouth and mumbled ""...sheesh, people sure are brazen flirting about in the open...""<br/><br/>An interesting development; she never knew Warrior Boy had it in him to snag a girl like Sakura of all people. And on the same note, Sakura sure had bad taste in men. Not that she, Junko, knew anything about love. Maybe companionship; she had plenty of those in the Blue Falcon, but definitely not love. She did know love made one of the Blue Falcon jump from a fourth floor window into a pool to impress his girl, but it maybe all those coffee and beer he snarfed earlier.<br/><br/>""Ah, that's right!

She...really didn't like that girl, did she? Or was she laughing at his mental digression, waving it off like he had? It could be either, but he assumed it was the latter, since she told him not to apologize for it, sharing her musings that some of the students here had more than physical issues. It was certainly true, especially in Isamu's case. He think some therapist told him he had an issue with imprinting on people, and he was inclined to believe that idea. After all, he had done something like that in the past with people, becoming heavily attached to people he barely knew. It was just another part of the reason he tried to make friends with a lot of people: the more he got used to dealing with people, the less heavily attached he'd get to people he'd just met.<br/><br/>Aizawa Mizuki, the girl introduced herself as. Huh...Mizuki? Weeeiiirrrddd, man, just like Haruto...or should he call him Jay? Oh well, not worth dwelling on. Were they classmates? Yes, yes they were. He couldn't possibly forget that cane or the braces. It was kind of terrible, but sometimes he made a note of the more...obviously disabled students. Some people needed an extra wide berth, some needed assistance with certain parts of their lives. He'd known a few people missing whole chunks of their bodies that occasionally needed help with their prosthetics, if they had them. For some, it might have been a sad sight. For Isamu, it was heartwarming and inspiring to see people overcoming despite adversity. And that was precisely what this girl in front of him was doing. Every step must have been tough for her, but she fought on like a real warrior. If that Haruto respected anybody, it should be her. Not the...Midgard Lobster, as he'd been referred to.<br/><br/>Sighing quietly as he digressed again, Isamu looked back at Mizuki and bowed his head gently. ""Tanaka Isamu. Ectrodactyly. Lobster claw syndrome, as some might call it."" It was...usual for him to greet himself this way. His condition was obvious, and he couldn't just let it sit in the air. He was strange. His hands had less fingers. It wasn't really a big deal, but it could cause a few issues. As a matter of fact, his feet looked similar, but he'd never really had the problem of people noticing at Yamaku, and he didn't go out of his way to make anybody see it.<br/><br/>Smiling politely, he gently brought his hands together. ""And please don't feel compelled to discuss your own situation. I understand many don't like bringing it up, especially if it's recent. I just prefer the direct approach to addressing my...extremely noticeable condition."" Moving his hand back to rub his head again, he changed the topic yet again, in case Mizuki didn't want to bring it up. ""How are you doing on that ions paper? Mine's progressing pretty well, but I can understand that some are just dreading it. Ions can get pretty weird, especially when it comes to plasma physics and the likes. Trying to remember that positive charges mean there are<i> less </i>electrons can really trip some people up, and vice versa. And when you get off-world, all bets are off. Astrophysics and plasma just gets crazy, especially with nebulae."" Aaaand, there he went ranting about physics and space. It was a wonder he ever made friends..."

From ever corner there were boys and girls trying to be a hero, butting their noses in and hobbling around trying to get involved in somebody else's business.

It was easy for her to look down on them, even if they were more handicapped than herself. This helped her to come to terms with her stay at Yamaku. A dark smirk grew on her face as she joyously skipped down the staircase, sometimes jumping two steps at a time.<b>""Bet those losers upstairs couldn't do this!""</b>These words she kept in the back of her mind, not a syllable expressing to whoever she passed on the ground floor.<br/><br/>Walking onto the plush greenery of the Grounds seemed to lighten her mood. She finds herself thinking back to the red haired girl that she ran into, the word Crimson comes to mind. It was probably what the girl had said to her back in the hallway, but she just brushed it off.<i>""It was lucky those bitches didn't take the wind out of me""</i><br/><br/>The day grew longer, and soon it was dusk. She lost track of time. Having a less than enjoyable day, not even the Piano could lighten her mood. Instead, she makes her way to the Infirmary. Maybe staring at those worse off than her would fill her with enough Schadenfreude that she could relax for the evening."

Neither of the two girls thatshe had slammed into actually seemed convinced that anthing she said actually had much meaning, perhaps they were even genuinely of the opinion that she had done all of this un purpose, just because she was taller and wanted to see other, smaller students tumbleand fall on the floor, which was the opposite of what she wanted. Even so, it was lucky that nobody from the teaching staff or even the student council had seen the collision. Even if it was an accident, she'd have no doubt have gotten a lengthy lecture on caution and being considerate of her fellow students. More so than other scools, Yamaku had a strict ""no running in the hallways""-policy to avoid collisions just like the one she had just caused. Considering all of he different disabilites, this wasn't much of a surprise. While Sakura could definitely say she'd probably have more than a few bruises on several places, there were those who were a lot more frail and vulerable at Yamaku, who might not have been able to get out of a smack like that unscathed.<br/><br/>On the plus side, the small crowd that had gathered to look at the sight had at least saved Sakura from any possible insults or even phsical violence. The negative side however, was that now everyone was staring at her like she was the instigator of an actual fight, some even muttered how inconsiderate she was for not looking where she was going. While the entire tumble might have looked hilarious and had drawn many eyes, there was little to no doubt that most eyes had been directed in Sakura's direction, her tall figure making her visible even for those near the back , as she stood out like a beacon. While she wasn't completely people shy, standing in the centre of the atention like this, and especially not in a situation like this.<br/><br/>Slumping her shoulders timidly, she turned back towards Mizuki as the other two left, with them, the small crowd of curious students that had formed around them slowly began to dwindle as well, enabling Sakura to refocus her mind into gear and process what Mizuki had said. Words rolled off of his tongue like a waterfall, but only half of them actually made complete sense. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but to be mesmerised by Mizuki. While her love for fantasy and splendid tales made her wishs he was actually part of a word like in her imagination, he was actually living in his own as she had understood from the fragments she caught from his speaches. She knew that everal students pitied and sniggered at him, or were even annoyed by his behaviour, but Sakura was the opposite. She admired him and his ability to release his mind into the world of his imagination.<br/><br/>Just as she was opening her mouth she was adressed by Junko, whose behaviour was also infamous in the school. Before she knew it, she realised that she was caught in the middle of two of what might be the most known students in the school. Not because they were especially popular, but because of their loud, disorderly conduct. Nevertheless, it'd be rude of her to just wander off after Mizuki had helped her up and collected her cane for her, nor would it be proper to reject the request for aid. Mutou kept hammering on a good cooperation between the students, which she couldn't really deny its benefits of either.<br/><br/><i>""I'm sure I can help both of you out... I made few notes beforehand and I'm fairly sure I understand the exercices.""</i>She spoke to the par of them with a slightly tentative smile, trying her best not to sound too smart out of fear that they might find her arrogant.<i>""I was on my way to the library, we could head over there?""</i>Her question was rather unnecessary, with all the desks designed for studying, it was the obvious choice for her. The thought that these two might disturb the silent atmosphere of he library hadn't even crossed her mind yet.<br/><br/>With club activities starting, the library was luckily fairly devoid of much students, and Sakura ws able to find a relatively secluded desk large enough for the three of them had they decided to follow her through the hallways. This time, she had kept her head high and her eyes open as wide as possible, staring dead ahead with as much oncentration as possible, scarcely saying a single word on the way to not interrupt her concentration of not bumping into someone once again. Given her height, this might have been a rater intimidating sight, almost as if she set out to war with the determined look on her face.<br/><br/>Once in the library however, her expression took on a more normal, timid look once more, behind the desk and pulling out her notebooks and exercises. The notebook she handed to Mizuki, where probably less than he had hoped notes were written down, yet her handriting was neat and to the point. He might notice that the majority of the ink in the notebook had not been spent into notes, but rather into very clunky looking, clumsy drawings of a large variety of subjects, as much as he might be able to make them out. Several of her classmates she had drawn as well, though very few accurately resembled their real life counterparts. There was even a very oddly drawn character that resembled Mizuki near the back, where she had attempted to draw him as he had described himself, battling a black figure that was supposedly a demon, but failed rather miserably.<i>""Here, let me know if it's unclear or you can't read it.""</i>She said, handing the notebook to him, forgetting that she had actually drawn all of that.<br/><br/>While she let Mizuki handle her notebook, she shifted her attention to Junko, flapping over the exercises. Most, of not all of them looked easy to her. Several of them were simply counting out how much energy it took for certain bonds to break, how much energy would be released if they broke and if this made the chemical reactions exothermic or endothermic. The last few of the exercises were just a little harder, for each atom in the example one had to make write down the exact atomic configurations, placing each elektron into the right atomic orbital.<i>""Uhm-... ""</i>Sakura stared at Junko blankly with a slow blink, unsure where she had to start explaining since she couldn't exactly know how she wouldn't understand the exercise yet. This would be her first time actually tutoring to other people."

Junko had no idea she would just help her without persuasion. Here she was thinking Sakura may need to be bribed with some juice or perhaps those cake from those shop. By now she had completely forgotten about what she had heard earlier, as she walked beside Warrior Man munching on her Pocky sticks. Her steps faltered for a moment as she realized what Sakura said.<br/><br/>The library.<br/><br/>That stifling atmosphere, the musty smell of old books, and those looks people sneaked at her from behind their books. Damnit, she can relax in a library if she wanted to! No need to give that oh-wow-did-not-expect-that-person-to-be-here look. Sakura... Sakura was going to make her earn her help was it?<br/><br/>But she wasn't going to lose to any stupid library. She was going to sit her ass in there, freaking relax and flip the bird to anyone who DARES give her that look. And get some help with the exercises.<br/><br/>When they arrived at the library, Sakura chose a desk, secluded and large. Junko sat opposite of Sakura, and pulled out another box of Pocky. Sakura had great judgement when she picked out this particular desk. No one would stare at her, and while it still smelled rather musty, the atmosphere here was relaxing somewhat. She should come here more often. Kisaragi wouldn't think of searching in here. Playing on people expectations to hide, this was something she should have thought of earlier.<br/><br/>""Uhm-... ""<br/><br/>Sakura was staring at her questioningly. Oh right, with all her thinking she had quite forgotten.<br/><br/>""Ah, sorry. Did you want some?""<br/><br/>Junko held up the opened box of Pocky."

First, be respectful to your teachers."" Makishimu's father, sitting in the driver's seat of the car spoke up after a long silence during the trip.<br/><br/>""Yes, Dad."" Considering the tone of his father, Makishimu responded politely and earnestly.<br/><br/>""Second, keep the hell away off of busy roads. I'm not paying for the hospital bill if you get hit by a car because of your depth perception problem.""<br/><br/>""How assuring."" Makishimu joked, but obviously it was lost on his father who remained stalwart in his cold look.<br/><br/>""Sorry?"" His father asked with a tone of scorn.<br/><br/>""Yes, Dad."" The teen sighed and responded in the same way he had earlier.<br/><br/>""Third and final, don't you dare take that eyepatch off when people are around. If I hear any problems about kids getting scared from the hole in your face, I will personally come over there and beat you shitless.""<br/><br/>""Yes, Dad."" A short period of silence followed this. Makishimu began to pick up his schoolbag and was about to leave when his father spoke up.<br/><br/>""You're a good kid. Don't get into trouble, alright?"" His tone was much more friendly and affectionate than before.<br/><br/>""Alright."" He smiled as he responded. ""Love you, Dad."" He opened up the door and left the car. He saw his father nod and he began to drive away. ""Well, that's that..."" He muttered as he took in the scenery. Since he had an hour before he would be expected at the school, his father had decided to leave him in the nearby town, so he could stretch his legs and become familiar with the area. The town was a typical rural town, with not much of note.<i>Japanese countryside towns are so... uniform.</i>he remarked.<i>There's always a few traditional houses, then a few traditional-slash-westernized ones and then the modern-ish places like convenience stores. Really, the only thing that differs between them is the arrangement.</i>He thought as he looked over the area from the sidewalk in front of a peculiar looking building, that, based on the sign, seemed to be a ""teahouse"". For the moment, however, he wasn't hungry and he wouldn't be for awhile as his mother had made a bag of various pastries which would probably hold him off for two days if he ate them sparingly.<br/><br/>Looking down at his watch, he muttered to himself. ""'Need to be there in about an hour... That gives me two hours to wander around."" He smirked at his reasoning. Hearing his voice, he now realized that he was still wearing his headphones and he took his phone out of his pocket to stop the music. 'Savior of Song' was the title of the song. One of his favorites at the moment, masterfully blending more electric parts into a characteristically rock track, reminiscent of western punk rock and other genres. It was also the opening theme to one an anime series he had reasonably enjoyed, Arpeggio of Blue Steel. He had spent a lot of time watching anime when he had been in the hospital, due to a year-long subscription to a HD streaming service his mother had bought for him upon his entry into the hospital. It kept him from getting bored and he had picked up something of an affinity for it; evidenced by the number of series he had watched while bedridden which almost reached the triple-digits.<br/><br/>With slight reluctance, he tapped the pause button and the headphones fell silent. Makishimu slid the headphones down onto his neck and began looking around, deciding where to go. To his left, a road led to the local LAWSON and to his right, a sign indicated the directions towards the school. On the sign, Makishimu could make out braille, a definite giveaway of the school's nature. The boy had mixed feelings about this. Out of the two directions, he decided to go right. All things considered, he had no business in the town and it would be best if he got to the school with some time to spare, so he would have time to waste if he got lost. Turning the corner, he cringed when he saw the semi-metaphorical mountain leading up the school. ""You're kidding me..."" he muttered as he stared the hill down. With a click of his tongue and a sigh he began to trudge up the hill.<hr/>It took him a good moment for him to reach to the top of the hill and when he was winded when he did, being slightly out of shape after his hospital stay, but Makishimu could at least admit that the view was impressive. Iwaku, more so. With western style that contrasted deeply with the architecture of the town, it reminded Makishimu of the house of the rich tsundere character in that one anime he couldn't recall the name of. With his bag slung over his shoulder, he quietly entered through the gate, in awe at the architecture and grounds of the academy. ""Damn, Dad must've paid a fortune just to have me here..."" He murmured as he looked around. Due to his depth perception problems, it all seemed much larger and further away than it really was. As classes were just finishing, many other students of varying disabilities gathered in the courtyard. He felt somewhat alienated all of the sudden when he considered that he still had all of his limbs and digits. When he thought about it, his ""disability"" was minor compared to losing an arm or a leg. For a moment, he wondered why he had been sent here when he could have easily continued school in the city with no problems.<br/><br/>However, Makishimu realized that these sorts of thoughts weren't the kind of thing that he should be thinking about in this situation and shook them off for the moment. Checking his watch, he figured he should head directly to where he would meet his homeroom teacher. Putting significantly more stride into his step, he headed to the building that seemed to be where the entry-slash-lobby was. Passing by the students, he noticed a few stare, one point and a girl make a comment.<i>Well, I guess it's inevitable.</i>He made a mental shrug as he moved into the lobby, where he noticed a middle-aged man with somewhat messy hair and wearing a brown coat seemingly waiting. When he noticed the youth, he made a face of recognition and came over to greet him. ""Good evening. You're... Maki...?"" He stumbled a bit at his name and Makishimu sighed. It was a usual occurrence for him.<br/><br/>""Arakawa Makishimu. It's French. Nice to meet you."" He shook the man's hand and he corrected himself.<br/><br/>""That's right. Sorry about that. I'm Mutou and I'll be your homeroom teacher, since you're in class 3-3."" Makishimu jumped slightly at the mention of class 3-3.<br/><br/>""Sorry? Class 3-3?"" A slight feeling of terror came over him.<br/><br/>""Yes, that's right. Is there something wrong?"" Makishimu's good eye widened.<i>No... not the cursed class...</i>he thought to himself. Quickly, however, he realized he was confusing a certain horror anime that he had watched with reality and his features returned to normal.<br/><br/>""...eh... yeah, don't worry about it. It's nothing."" He uneasily glanced at a plant. Mutou raised an eyebrow before continuing what he was saying before.<br/><br/>""I'm also the science teacher of 3-3.""He said matter-of-factly and Makishimu muttered.<br/><br/>""Great to know."" Mutou gave a somewhat bothered look before continuing once more.<br/><br/>""Classes are over for the day, so you'll be introduced to the class tomorrow. For now, here's your dorm room key. I'll let you wander around for a bit, but get some sleep. You look tired."" He sounded a bit more direct this time, most likely in response to Makishimu's attitude. Makishimu nodded this time, not wanting to make the situation any worse than it already was and took the key from the teacher's hand.<br/><br/>""Thanks. I'll try to get to class early tomorrow. Good first impressions, right?"" He smiled to give off a friendly look, but Mutou shook his head.<br/><br/>""I'd prefer you meet me here in the same place tomorrow, so I can introduce you better. Makes my job easier.""<br/><br/>""Alright. Whatever floats your boat. Good bye, then."" Makishimu turned around to head to the dorm after the teacher responded to his good-bye. It took him a good moment, but he eventually found the male-dorms. He entered through the door and tiredly walked up the stairs to his room, on the second floor and closest to the stairway. He didn't notice many other students on his way up, but it was probably just due to classes only just finishing. Sticking the key in the hole and turning, he was given a good sounding click as the lock opened and he went in. The room, as expected, had no decoration, with only a plain looking bed, a plain looking desk and a plain looking dresser adorning the plain looking room. His bags were sitting next to the dresser and after taking off his shoes, he grabbed the rectangular one which contained a netbook with 4G capabilities that he had been given before he left. With it in hand, he set off for a place where he could sit down.<br/><br/>Once again, it took a good while for him to find his way around, but he eventually found the library. Not wanting to attract too much attention, he quietly entered the room and headed for an area that was metaphorically off the beaten path. However, most of the good places were taken and he was forced to sit down at a table already occupied by a tall looking girl and another who, like him, also lacked an eye (among other things). ""Hope you don't mind me sitting down here..."" He said, somewhat intimidated by the look of the shorter girl, who smelled of smoke. Uneasily glancing around him, wondering if he was even allowed to use his computer there, he took out his netbook and opened it up on the table. Surprisingly enough, the 4G coverage wasn't as bad as he thought it would be and he was easily able to connect to the internet. Clicking on one of the few bookmarks he had saved, he opened up Kantai Collection, a game he had grown fond of during his time in the hospital. He muted the computer and once he was logged in, he proceeded to begin preparing for a mission. He tried to remain somewhat discreet as he did so, though, not wanting to bother the other two.<br/><br/><i>Wait.</i><br/>Suddenly, he realized something.<br/><i>Why didn't I just do this in my room...?</i>"

It would appear that Yamaku's resident delinquent had also missed out on one of Mutou's more important classes, most likely because she was preparing for a war of her own. No doubt, the Yamaku Crips were going to have a turf war soon with another gang, most likely commandeered by some massive, tattooed, future yakuza with an acid-scarred face. She must have been asking for help on molecular sciences in order to sharpen her Mach Lightning Blaze Knuckles, upgrading them into Phantom Mach Lightning Blaze Knuckles capable of doing supersonic precision strikes at the accuracy of singular molecules. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to master the Seventh Secret Art of the Thousand Stars, he would have gladly offered to join her crusade, if only to see a new legendary banchou be born in Yamaku High.<br/><br/>But he brought himself out of his fiction once more, just to nod and smile at her response. And going to the library as well! What an excellent idea! It had been some time since he finished his last stack of light novels, and he could do some multitasking, getting a new stack today. That series about the Empty Box and the Zeroth Maria seemed especially appealing, but from what he had read, it appeared that the author was a lazy bum who took forever to write anything. For a moment, Jay had almost forgotten that there were notes to be read, but he slapped his cheeks and focused once more, his red eyes flashing with unbreakable concentration.<br/><br/>He will read the notes...and learn it!<br/><br/>Some time later, the trio that easily attracted the most attention in Yamaku arrived at the library, right as the librarian herself shrunk in their presence, no doubt awed by their presence. The Sage of Aegis, though new to her honorable position, was still an admirable person, and Jay looked at her straight in the eyes and smiled.<br/><br/>She shrunk away further. His demonblood still inspired fear, didn't it?<br/><br/>Sitting down on one of the oval-shaped wooden tables, complete with similarly rustic wooden chairs, Jay leaned his bookbag beside his feet, took out his pencil case and notebook, both items that were crafted with much difficulty after slaying the 500 year old proto-dragon, Igna-Tariz. Flicking open Sakura's own notebook, Jay spent two minutes reading her neat, if not terse, notes, before promptly being distracted by her doodling.<br/><br/>Ah, that was a nice addition. The imposing Sunfire Valkyrie was also a patron of the arts, a warrior maiden who indulged in the highly-contrasting hobby of drawing in order to relax after surviving another bloody battle with the demonic hordes. That sounded quite good, actually. He'd have to remember that. And her drawings seemed to be of another world as well, or perhaps...of multiple worlds? Impressive. To think that Sakura was a being capable of comprehending and creating multiple planes of existence, without having to use the concept of 'sleeping' as a gateway to them! Drumming his pencil energetically on the wooden table as he entertained that idea, Jay only realized that he had gotten off track after he had already scribbled down two pages describing the artistic skill of the Sunfire Valkyrie, as well as the deep, psychological and magical reason behind why she did so.<br/><br/>Then, just as he forced himself back to work, Junko offered Pocky. Sure, it might not have been for him, but he was Japanese, and Pocky was a god.<br/><br/><b>“Thank you very much,”</b>he said, snatching one of those chocolate-covered biscuit sticks before the Scarred Falcon could do anything,<b>“and hey, Kushuda-san, I never thought that you were a patron of the pencilled arts. Is this something you picked up recently?”</b><br/><br/>And with that, he turned the notebook over to show Junko as well, pointing out a rather...questionable doodle featuring two male classmates."

A ""Lobster Claw Syndrome"" sounds better anyway. Not that she actually cared about his ""sufferings"", but for now, she decided to put up with his self pity or whatever her conversation parent would unleash upon her after coming out with his disorder. During her first days at Yamaku she met many students who loved talking about their situations as if they were discussing the news, the weather, or some other exciting topic of the sort, and that has never failed to put Mizuki in a distasteful mood. ""Oh, I'm sooo unfortunate, I have a-arrythmia"", ""oh, my eye-sight is so bad I'm almost blind! I'll have to wear thick glasses<i>forever!</i>"", etc. etc. Bunch of whining weaklings. Of course, not all cripples did this. In fact, most had this ""don't ask don't tell"" policy, but there always were some that felt the utter need to bring out the topic of their misfortune all of a sudden and go on and on about it regardless of anyone's interest. And this Tanaka Isamu-person seemed to be, she was afraid, exactly the same sort. Did she even asked him about his lobster claws?<br/><br/>Fortunately, he didn't talk further about his plight, seemingly stratified with a brief introduction, and instead proceeded to bore her with science. Mizuki was taken aback at how he kept assaulting her with words and sentences not bothering even to wait for her reply, but happy that her previous concerns about his character were baseless, decided to listen in to his technobabble in hope that it will take her mind away from the unpleasant incident that happened a moment ago. No-it wasn't that her judgment about him was wrong. Like these students who enjoyed pushing their misery(or not-so-misery) onto the others, he kept pushing ions and electrons and equitations onto her. Does he really know that much or is he making this stuff up? She kept nodding and ""ah""-ing every now and again, pretending to pay attention, while skillfully guiding both of them in the general direction of the library, hoping to get his generally understood ""help"" with her science exercises. Aizawa Mizuki, on personal level, didn't have much passion for any of the school's subjects, and, having no reason to keep a certain reputation at Yamaku, quickly descended into mediocrity and below. However, this nerd here might just be her way out of this pinch.<br/><br/>Of course, getting to library took forever. Not only did they go the longer route, but also, her own condition was, to her frustration, slowing them down-as she didn't yet master the sophisticated art of walking with the crutch. Nonetheless, they made it, the spacious insides of library open before them. It was like a forest of books, bookshelves, and crippled people lurking between them. A good hunting area back in her bully days, alas, she was a cripple too and such pleasures were no longer in her reach. Guiding him to an unoccupied table, she noticed a certain red hair sitting with the long haired guy and Junko not far away. Junko, she knew well, as that person stood out-not only in visage, but mainly, in her delinquent behavior that Mizuki was, actually, quite fond of. She too had something wrong with her leg-but Nakurumi-san's case was, by comparison, much lighter of the two.<br/><br/>Turning her attention back to Tanaka-kun-chan-san, who was sitting in front of her, she flashed him a friendly smile and decided that being cordial is the best way to get what she wanted(much to her dislike-back in the good old times before the accident she'd just force the nerd to give her what she wanted).<br/>""<i>Isamu-kun..?</i>"" a pause, politely so, as she was not certain whether he's comfortable with begin called by first name(you never know, nerds and their sense of manners).<br/>""<i>Could you help me with my science assignment? I find exercises a bit tough, and you have quite a formidable knowledge of these subjects</i>""...no lies yet. He really did have a knack for this stuff, and saying this came easy to her. Now, flattering some cripple just to get her assignment off her back might have been too much for Mizuki Aizawa's pride to bear, but a little compliment based on her actual observations of reality is fine and good, every once in a while."

This was the longest interaction the two had had as of yet, but he elected to take no note of it. Trying to distract himself, he found himself rubbing the tips of his fingers together as they walked. He couldn't blame the girl, of course, but the slow pace of their movement was starting to irritate him. He was generally a fast person. Think quick, work quick, do things quickly. Time was, to him, one of the most valuable resources, and he hated wasting it by walking around slowly. Still, he was the one who approached Mizuki. It'd just be plain rude to walk off, or to go ahead of her to the library and leave her to catch up.<br/><br/>When they got to the library, he also noticed the other party of the collision, and almost groaned. What an awful coincidence. Ignoring her for now, Isamu turned his attention to his companion, sitting opposite her, and started getting out his science notebook. Chemistry.<i>UGH.</i>90% of the work in this book made Isamu want to curl up in a ball and never go back to class. He really didn't like Chemistry, but that was likely because they were, for the most part, only doing rather basic work. Normally, he tried to avoid being condescending, but...really? This work was ridiculous. Charges on atoms?<span class=""bb-u"">Electron configurations?!</span>It felt like an insult that this work was considered worth their time. Still, he did most of it in class, No point in wasting time he could use playing video games (shhh!) or doing his personal brand of independent study. Which typically resulted in an hour-long wikipedia or youtube search. He was able to study English and Physics at the same time that way.<br/><br/>Returning his focus to the exercises, of which only three were left, he looked between Mizuki and his work, barely registering what she was saying.<i>""...-elp me with my....exercises a bit tough, and.....knowledge of this subjects.""</i>Yeah, made sense. They had just had class, and some people did have trouble with electron configurations and...basic arithmetic. Wait...really? She needed help with<i>this?</i>Well, he wasn't going to argue. Besides, she had mentioned she was in the hospital. Who knows how long she was there, and how well she'd been kept up to speed with her studies. Of anybody, she probably had the best excuse to be asking for help. As for the narcoleptic delusion-ridden boy of the same name....well, his condition gave him a free pass half the time. Falling asleep at random times was not very helpful for a student with daily classes. ""Sure, Mizuki-san. What parts did you need help with? I've already got most of this done. Did it while Mutou was still talking. I...may or may not have already taught myself the basics of atoms and subatomic particles, along with all the...relevant information."" And there was yet another digression. This wasn't helping.<br/><br/>Shaking his head, he waved away the invisible thoughts distracting him. ""Exercises. Right. So, which did you want help with again...sorry about that."""

Your ties with the word normal grow less and less sure, it's as if upon learning of your disability, you were no longer regarded as normal by society. Normal is such an odd concept anyway, who decides what's normal and what isn't? Who gets to determine if you're able to fit in with normal people? It's unfair, but you should realize that it's okay to not be normal, to just be your own kind of normal and allow other people to be that too. A disability is something that holds you back, but it's not something that defines you, you're still you, and not even your condition will change that.<br/><br/>Whether you wanted to or not, you are no longer in the position to go to a regular school.

Yet, that doesn't take away the fact that each and every person there would not be labeled normal by society and you're now one of them. However, in this school, having a disability is considered normal and an every day fact.<br/>This school was not designed to simply take care of students, quite the contrary. In fact, this school is designed to teach students how to take care of themselves, rather than relying solely on other people. While catering to the special needs of some students, the teachers and the staff wish to ensure that each and every person graduates and becomes a full and valued member of society, not held back by their disability and giving them the chance to achieve whatever it is they want to achieve with their lives with the funds and facilities available. To this end, Yamaku pays even more attention to students' ambitions and plans after the graduate.<br/><br/>Welcome to Yamaku, the starting grounds of your new life.</i><br/><br/><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/vPXQz.jpg""/><br/>(The main entrance of Yamaku.)</center><hr/>Now that we have the introduction out of the way, some elaboration is in order. Yamaku high , as explained beforehand, a school designed to take care of students with disabilities and give them equal chances as everyone else. Yamaku has special facilities to offer for almost every student with a disability. In an auxiliary building, right next to the dormitories, there is a nursing staff that is available every moment of every day. Other than nurses, there are also a couple of therapists who help students with their non-physical conditions or the mental issues that physical conditions can cause on one's mind. Keep in mind that Yamaku is primarily designed for people with physical disabilities, such as deaf, blind or missinglimb as examples. What wouldn't be accepted were people with schizophrenia or split personalities.<br/><br/>The grounds around Yamaku are lush, large and very green, almost abnormally so for a school. This helps to set the tone for how the school is meant to be perceived, a place of rest and ease. It succeeds in maintaining this image because of the fact that it is located on a hill overlooking a valley, with nothing but a small village down the hill as the only civilization in the neighborhood. In addition to that, the grounds are kept neat and tidy on an almost analytical level, this school having the funds to employ much of these standards that might seem excessive for a school thanks to many benefactors and charities funding the project.<br/><br/>Reflecting the pompous exterior that gave the effect of trying to be more than a school due to its rather traditional architecture, the interior is large and spacious as well. Yamaku's hallways are broad and equipped with a railing for people who might need support getting around. Needless to say, the entire school is completely handicap accessible, multiple elevators and slopes ensuring that people in wheelchairs or with other disabilities can get around flawlessly. The windows are roofs of each and every single room appear to be high, giving an impression of space everywhere and allowing sunlight to light every single chamber as well.<br/><br/>Apart from the auxiliary building where the nurse staff keeps a vigilant watch, the school houses a lot of other facilities for the students. On its large grounds, you can find a track field where just about any kind of sport can be practiced, from rugby to track and field. In the auxiliary building, there is also a swimming pool, though this is mostly used not for recreation, but for rehabilitation. For those with a less sportive attitude, Yamaku is home to a rather large and well stocked library as well. Plenty of the books are in Braille or on audio, which means that even blind or partially blind people should have no excuse to not frequently use this place.<br/><br/>Given the sense of ease and security that Yamaku radiates, most students prefer to live on the campus, in the dormitories, close by the nursing staff that can be called upon 24/7. These dormitories are, of course, separated, both genders have a building of their own. The only thing that prevents coming to one another's building however, are the social barriers that students put up themselves, as Yamaku is quite lenient when it comes to rules in accordance to special situations that might arise with its students. It should be kept in mind that there are several of the staff that will make sure that the curfew is kept in effect.<br/><br/>We'll be starting a little bit into the first semester of the new school year, even though your character might have been in Yamaku before that. Of course, the staff has taken care with the placement of chambers, students in the same class will probably share a hall in the dormitories to facilitate relationships between students.<br/><br/>A lot of clubs exist to have students pass the time outside of the lessons, such as an art club, a book club, a track team, a soccer club, a drama club and much more. With the new school year coming, there'll be a couple of elections inside the student body. First of all, there is the need to appoint a class representative who is in charge of keeping order in the class, resolving disputes between students and oversee special projects such as the preparations for the school festival or a field trip. Other than that, later on in the year the position for the new student council will open up too, those with ambition to be on the council should already make sure to think about their repuation and the upcoming election campaign.<br/><br/>As mentioned beforehand, Yamaku is located on top of a hill overlooking a rather lush valley with a town at the bottom. The remarkable nature all around Yamaku is no doubt one of its good qualities, as it is mosty surrounded by forests. A road right next to Yamaku leads to the nearby city, which is about a twenty minute drive on the bus. The bus comes every morning and evening for the students that should choose not to live in the dormitories at school.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

Often she is taller than most girls and just as tall or taller than most males. Her body seems to have develloped rapidly, even though she might still have some issues to adapt to how suddenly she has changed over the course of time thanks to her recent struggles. However, while she is tall, she is skinny rather than genuinely slender, lacking a great deal of muscles that she lost during the time she was incapacitated. Although she is gradually recovering rom this, gaining muscle every day, to thetrained eye one could still be able to observe how weak she was in this area.<br/>While most of the time she is able to walk on her own, she often carries a cane around with her for when things get difficult, coping with the issues of getting used to her suddenly so long limbs and the lack of muscles to work them as properly as she had liked.<br/><br/>The most distinct feature about Sakure is most probably her long, red hair, reaching all the way down, past her waist. While it might not be the most convenient hair of all time, she sees little use in shortening it as she refrains from activities where it might get in the way anyway. Rather, she prizes herself over her hair, often seen fondling or striking her long, slender fingers through it.<br/><br/>While outwards appearance is not often her greatest concern, she enjoys spending time taking care of herself, combing her long hair until it shone flawlessly. Her dress code out of school was quite distinct, whereas she doesn't dress to impress other, but merely for her own amusement, taking great pleasure in looking a little differently from the majority of the people. Her fondness of ribbons and hair accessories is shown every day, sporting a wide collection of them, hardly a day goes by where one might be able to see the same accessorry in her hair, or in the same spot.<br/><br/>From the accident, she had a few minor burn scars on her left hip and the upper part of her left arm, feeling a little ashamed of them. Other than that, her skin is quite pale, a sympton she got from her life secluded and indoors, as well as the three long years that sh had spent in the hospital, because of this, she is also a little more vulnerable to the light of the sun, and easier to get burnt by it, being somewhat on the frail side in general.<br/><br/><b>Personality:</b>While not as shy as she could be perceived at first, she is not quite the most extroverted person around. Often she prefers to remains silent when she can and assess the situation to form a good opinion, before oepning her mouth and speaking. Her time alone is something she genuinely enjoys, finding not too much need to interact with other people constantly. That does not mean that she enjoys being lonely. As a human being, she still craves for social contact, although she might be a little more picky on with who, when and how frequent she wishes this. Another factor in this tale is that she simply is unaware of how exactly to behave around people her age, and can be a little awkward because of this, rather than a genuine distaste, she is aware of the discomfort she can cause.<br/><br/>Her demeanor is often a little distracted, if not even a little ditzy from time to time. Indeed, her mind liked to wander, often indulging in the fantasies she managed to conjure up that distracted her from the real world. This often leads her to spac out, sometimes not even catching on when someone is talking to her or even failing at things that required a larger amount of concentration. Furthermore, her longlimbed body takes some tme to get used to, making her clumsy at times. Bumping her elbow into things or kocking items off of a table being a couple of examples.<br/><br/><b>Skills:</b>Being an avid reader, Sakura is very adept at learning swiftly, as well as taking in information at a very high pace, able to draw conclusions and think logically about a majority of topics. She is able to soak in information quickly if one can manage to get her to concentrate, which is not always as easy as it sounds though.<br/><br/><b>Bio:</b>Sakura grew up in the family of a wealthier family as the second child of a prospering businessman. Due to her life on the countryside, she was somewhat secluded from most of the world, attending elementary school like a normal person, but preferring to remain at home out of her own accord most of the time. From the moment she was able to read, she kept asking for Her favorite way to spend her leisure time was burrying her nose in the countless books her family had amassed during their time. It became aparant to her parents that their daughter was gifted with high intelligence, sending her to a school for gifted people after she had finished her elementary school, as they ha wished her to experience a normal early childhood first, but wished to develop her talents better afterwards.<br/><br/>While she was able to consume books at a very rapid pace, her favorite genre had to be everything that was even remotely close to fantasy, losing herself in the splendid tales of distant wolds and foreign cultures all too happily. This, added to the fact that she enrolled in a special school added to her seclusion, while her parents grewmore and more protective of her and didn't mind tht they were able to keep a better eye on her each time she holed herself up in the library. It was not as if she was unpopular at school or lacked any particular set of social skills, rather that she simply preferred to be silent when she could and chose the company of books over the company of her newfund classmates, whom she often through to be arrogant and too obsessed with themselves.<br/><br/>One day, on her way back from school on the train, since her school for the gifted was located in the big city, her life changed forver. DUe to an electrical malfunction, the train she was on derailed and slammed into a building, hurling her through the carriage she was in and slamming her head against the side of the vehicle with disastrous consequences.<br/><br/>Fortunately, Sakura was pulled loose from the wreckage with only minor physical injuries that managed to heal over time, which made her luckier than several of the other passenger. However, there was more than simply surface damage, havin suffered a great trauma to her head during the crash. Within a few days, the doctors had to inform her parents that she was unlikely to wake up as soon as they might hope, she was comatose.<br/><br/>After what seemed like an eternal lasting three years to her family, Sakura finally woke from her coma, with all the consequences that not having used her body for so long meant. Nearly all of her muscles had deteriorated as well as her flesh until she was little more than skin and bones. The long recovery followed, where immense physical therpahy helped her bit by bit to regain her ability to walk and sue her limbs as intended. It proved difficult however, conidering how her body had gone through a massive growth during her time asleep, giving her little time to adjust suddenly to her new length and reach. Her progress was carefully monitored, making sure that there were no motory disorders in her brain either.<br/><br/>That was not the only issue however, in her experience, it had only been a day since the accident, as if she had only just woken up from a deep sleep. Her memory served to make her believe the accident had happened only recently, and she had not matured a day since the moment of the crash over the course of those three years. Her mind remained that of a fifteen year old girl in an eightteen year old body, giving her difficulties to adjust as well as troubles in behaving her age.<br/><br/>To her own dismay and the surprise of her doctors, Sakura gained trouble sleeping and frequently suffered panic attacks, a loud explosion she hear din her head each ime such an attack happened. The medical staff handed her the name fo he condition: Exploding head syndrme, a name that confused and frightened her. At irregular intervals, she would hear an explosion in her head, causing her to go int shock and get a panic attack. Quickly, she was also diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, getting panic attacks every time it happened or she experienced something similar to the crash.<br/><br/>Her future looks brighter however, on the reccomendation of the doctors, she and her parents agreed to have her enroll in Yamaku for her last year of highschool. Thankfully, she had been ahead of the curve of normal students before her incident, and was suspected to have little to few difficulties fitting into the year corresponding to he actual age, despite the three years that she had missed, her intelligence a thing that finally managed to do her some good so she wouldn't be as much behind.<br/>While her muscles are still weak, she gets stronger every day, looking forwards to the moment where she will finally be comfortable enough to leave her cane behind and get on with her life, hoping her condition's severity to fade over time as well.<br/><br/><b>Other:</b>Sakure is a huge fan of books, movies and everything fantasy related. She has a ouple of quirks that one might consider a little odd as well. As often as she can, she would buy gift cards and birthday cards from shops, making it a point to own as many different ones as she can. By now, she has managed to amass a rather impressive collection, decorating her room with them in the form of ribbons, wallpapes or garlands.<br/>-------------"

He was well liked by his teachers for his general serious attitude and by his friends for his amiable nature.<br/><br/>However, this calm lifestyle came to an abrupt end when an accident that involved him and his family took place near his seventeenth birthday. This accident, which he prefers not to talk much about, resulted in a serious shrapnel injury in the area of his right eye but little to no injury for his parents. He was rushed to the hospital, where it was found that while the skin around his eye could be easily healed over time, his eye was beyond repair. Thus, the decision was made to remove his eye and Makishimu was forced to wear an eyepatch from that moment onward.<br/><br/>After spending a month in the hospital, he was left with vision problems related to losing an eye and the subsequent loss of a good part of peripheral vision and binocular depth perception. By the recommendation of a nurse, his parents decided to send him to a school for students with disabilities, a subject which Makishimu himself decided to remain externally neutral upon, while secretly harboring a deep distaste.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Other</span>: Will be added as I think of things."

If anything needs changing just let me know.<br/><br/>Name: Takashi Midiara<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Sexuality: Heterosexual<br/><br/>Age: 18<br/><br/>Appearance:<a href=""http://media.photobucket.com/user/Blazia_Blaze/media/Anime%20Boy/keiichi.png.html""><img src=""http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x467/Blazia_Blaze/Anime%20Boy/keiichi.png""/></a><br/><br/>Personality: Constantly comes off as being very disinterested in most things, but in truth it is that he has simply grown tired due to his disease. He is very apathetic towards a lot of things, but still remains truly loyal to those he has grown close to during his time at the academy. Tends to try and brighten other peoples' moods as best he can and is not afraid to put himself out into the public eye if that is what the situation calls for.<br/><br/>Skills: In terms of his skills, Takashi is quite smart in the ways of his classes, being a constant name on the highest score marks in the academy year in and year out. He also has found enough free time to himself to become quite adept at Tarot cards, giving out fortunes to many people that dare see what fate may have in store for them. Usually is very aware of the actions other students of his class, so his interpretations of the meanings of the cards is so spot on at times people claim him to be a wizard, a claim that he has laughed off repeatedly. Sadly due to his illness he has no real ability to stay physically active and mostly resides himself in his room after his classes. He can go out every once and a while, but he has to prepare himself accordingly otherwise he may just collapse and not be able to carry himself. Takashi hates to be a burden so he often will end up turning down an out of the blue invite to go and to somewhere.<br/><br/>Bio: Being raised in a quiet suburb, Takashi was constantly watching other children, his brother included play games outside in the sun and on the freshly cut grass. His parents never let him leave the house on his own and were constantly taking him to doctor's visits as a child. Early on, Takashi was diagnosed with Becker's muscular dystrophy, a disease that ate away at his muscles every day he breathed. He had to hear each day how the disease was progressing, slowly one day and suddenly a striking development the next. Because of this, Takashi was never able to truly experience what it was like to be a child and eventually developed a view on the world as being very boring and dramatic, due to his parent's constant worrying.<br/><br/>By age 14, Takashi had practically become a shut in inside his own home. His legs were worthless, being stuck in a wheel chair since age nine. His chest was in constant pain due to the disease, a symptom that was to develop. Another lucky draw he supposed. Worst yet, his own blood had seemingly distanced himself away due to fear. Perhaps it was unfounded fear of contracting the disease. Takashi assumed it was fear of being connected to something you weren't sure was going to survive. Better to not be close that way it wouldn't hurt in the end he thought. Takashi was beginning to see nothing but gray in his world, with no chance of light returning he feared.<br/><br/>At age 16 he was offered a chance to join Yamaku, a school for children with disabilities. His parents urged him to take the chance. Again, he assumed it was to get further away from him. His brother was also in the crowd to push him out the door it seemed. Takashi took the offer and eventually found himself living among so many others who had the same hurt and fear as he did, and it made him feel, disappointingly, at home. Over the years he has gained some strength in his legs back, mainly through the new therapy that the school provides for him. Now out of his wheel chair, he walks around with a cane most of the time. There are days however where the pain is a little too much for him and he ends up in his wheel chair again. It is during these days that students go up to him often and receive their Tarot readings. Due to his lack of mobility, he figured it would be better to have something to do rather than nothing at all and stare out of the window the whole lunch period. He has regained some of his smile back since he came to Yamaku, but that feeling of rejection and fear still haunt the back of his mind.<br/><br/>Other: Tends to spend a good portion of time in the library when he can walk with his cane. It calms him and the walk from his class to the library keeps his strength up. Sometimes will get into arguments just for the sake of it, especially with Makishimu should an opportunity ever arise. He does this mainly because it is funny and Makishimu is able to take a few playful jabs because of his always cheery attitude."

</div><br/><br/>Her long, black hair are usually loose and somewhat disorderly nowadays- with her right hand as it is, styling them is just too much work, and she doesn’t feel much pressure into doing this anyway. She used to put much attention into her physical appearance, always caring for it to be neat and proper, but ever since the accident she learned to let go and now she’s much less strict with herself.<br/><br/>Mizuki is pretty short, even for a Japanese girl. Her slender body build and fairly invisible cleavage didn’t use to be a big deal back when she had friends and popularity-but now, she finds it mostly to her dislike that her body turned out that way. She’d much rather be taller, and more curvy. However, in the end, this is a trivial matter, and she doesn’t let something like this bother her too much.<br/><br/>What she actually hates the most is the fact that the right side of her face is paralyzed and can’t move on it own. This means that making facial expressions is somewhat hard, and even the most sincere smile looks often mocking or ironic from the outside. Sometimes it leads to misunderstandings, as it’s often hard for the other side to read what her intended facial expression was supposed to be. Eating and drinking are also pretty difficult, as she has to put extra effort in keeping her mouth shut, and care not to bite her cheek when chewing. However, fortunately, her ability to talk has not been distorted, and her voice is as clear and audible as ever. Still, there isn’t a day she wouldn’t wish for it to be normal and healthy. Out of all her disabilities, even the “loss” of leg does not bother her as much as what happened to her face.<br/><br/>She has a distinct, melodic voice, a fact she used to be very proud of. There was a time when she wanted to be a singer, but after several attempts, found out she has no patience nor talent for this sort of stuff. Still, she literally likes to listen to herself talking, and, especially post-accident, sometimes quietly talks to herself-taking especial care not to be heard, of course.<br/><br/><b>Disabilities:</b><br/><br/>Brain damage due to car accident. While her memory and cognitive abilities are intact, her motor functions and eye-hand coordination have been severely impaired. What's worse, part of her spine has been damaged, and several parts of her body are now paralyzed as a result. Perhaps fortunately, most of the damage seems to be accumulated on one side of her body. She can't move or feel her right leg, three of her right hand's fingers are useless and almost entire right side of her face is paralyzed, making it impossible for her to make full facial expressions. However, her sight and hearing are intact, and there is ""some hope"" for ""partial recovery"" with time and training.<br/><br/>She's forced to use a crutch-in fact, given her condition the doctors wanted to put her on a wheelchair, but for Mizuki it would be far too much to bear. In fact, in the beginning, she didn't want to use the crutch either-preferring something more stylish, like a crane or something among these lines. However, several attempts at walking with a crane and maintaining reasonable speed while doing so quickly brought her down to earth. In the end, she was forced to come to terms with the fact she needs a specialist medical equipment and afterwards she put extra effort in learning to walk and live with that extra accessory-refusing to let that impair her ability to function like a normal human beign whom she, despite everything, still considers herself.<br/><br/>Her hand has also caused her some problems. Mizuki is right handed-which means, she had to learn to write with left hand, as it was impossible to hold a pencil with only the ring and middle fingers functional. Before the accident she used to like playing video games-which too, became impossible, as she can't even hold a gamepad anymore, much less play PC games with the keyboard. However, not being able to play video games have resurrected her childhood passion for books, and, during her time at Yamaku, she found out she likes spending most of her free time in the library.<br/><br/><b>Personality&amp;Bio:</b><br/><br/>Before the accident she was one of the most popular girls at school. Good-looking, good grades, good family as well as her natural charisma and wit quickly made her an object of admiration and jealously among her peers. Guys wanted to date her, girls wanted to hang out with her. However, despite all of that, she always put a firm, invisible barrier between herself and the others. Early in her life, she developed a sense of superiority that only strengthened win time. Mizuki considered herself better then the others and thus, she only made acquaintances-not true friends, admirers-not boyfriends. Because of that, despite being surrounded by people, she sometimes felt lonely and alienated-however, she was alway sable to cast away these negative feelings by reminding herself of her achievements, beauty, and bight prospects for the future. Not even in her darkest nightmares did she suspect she'll end up disabled and surrounded by other disabled people, in some remote school in a middle of nowhere.<br/><br/>However, that's what happened. Pulling herself together after the accident required a lot of work. While physically Mizuki wasn't in a critical condition, the psychological damage was far, far more serious. During the first several weeks after the accident she refused to eat, leave bed, or even look in the mirror. She put no effort in the rehabilitation and the doctor's prognosis for recovery were grim. However, with time, she came to terms with her new condition and, slowly but steadily, learned to live with her new handicaps. Of course, returning to school was a huge no. She could never stand showing herself in her new state to her former friends, fans and enemies. And enemies she had a plenty-social misfits, disabled students, ugly students and all the other outcasts whom she often enjoyed bulling whenever there was an occasion. Now that she was disabled herself-and far worse then most of them were-she decided she'd rather killed herself then go back to that school-or any other school, for that matter. However, when her parents presented Mizuki with the possibility of continuing her education at Yamaku, she accepted. Surrounded by other handicapped people, she figured out that she will have far greater chances of adjusting herself and, hopefully, rebuilding something resembling her former life and status-without feeling inferior to anyone.<br/><br/>However, when she arrived at Yamaku, ready to start her school life anew, she found out that not everything is going to be as she imagined. Many of the students enrolled in the school were, according to her, hardly disabled at all. First days at the new school were pain. Her plans to become popular again fell into ruin, as she spends most of the time being bitter and jealous of everyone and anyone who happens to be in a better position then herself. She realized that she has changed. The bitter, spiteful thoughts that accompanied her during the first days at hospital, returned. However, rather then feeling hopeless and hating herself, Mizuki hated everyone around her. No longer was she a talkative person she used to be. Most of her attempts at communication or making friends failed-not that she tried much, either. The disabled ones were disabled and pathetic, the ""healthy"" ones were lucky and smug, and the teachers were either too cold and disregarding or, even worse, too caring and compassionate(which was much, much harmful to her sense of pride and self-worth). She found herself misanthropic and unwilling to bond with others. Most of the time she spends in th library, as she found a new love for books during her stay in the hospital, and she tends to avoid larger groups of people.<br/><br/>That being said, she is by no means a shy person. Mizuki can talk, and she still has some of her wit and charisma of before-it's just that she doesn't feel the need to utilize them. She absolutely despises shy. introverted people, and often, she likes to imagine bulling or making fun of some of her less boldly-mannered peers, just like she used to occasionally do in the past. However, given her new situation, that is hardly possible, and so, she has to satisfy herself with empty fantasies while cursing her fate and the world around her.<br/><br/><b>Skills:</b><br/><br/>She used to be a pretty good gamer, but unfortunately, the new state of her right hand prevents pursuing this sort of hobbies. However, she started reading-from serious works of literature and science, to light hearted romances and flashy light novels and manga. In the beginning, reading was painful. Inexperienced with literature, she didn't know whether she should read fast, or think deeply about every paragraph. However, with time she found her own pace, and now, ""literary pursuits"" play important role in her life. That being said, she doesn't like discussing these things with other people, and still feels a little embarrassed when someone sees her with a book or a manga magazine-it reminds her of the nerdy otaku at her former school, whom she used to considered losers, and, frankly speaking, to whom she still thinks herself better.<br/><br/>Other than that, she doesn't have any outstanding skills or abilities. Most of her life spent pursuing trivial, though pleasant things, and she didn't show any special talents anyway. Thanks to the diligent effort she used to put into schoolwork and high-level of education provided by the prestigious schools her wealthy family has formerly enrolled her in, she has a strong knowledge of various academic subjects and, having learned both English and German for several years, is almost fluent in both of these languages. However, none of these accomplishments seem to matter to Mizuki nowadays. She found out that she has lost most of her pre-accident drive for studying. Probably, it was something she did to keep a certain image of herself, rather then for it's own sake. Ever since the beginning of her education at Yamaku, she hardly put any effort at all into independent study, and most of the time she doesn't even pay attention during the classes. Her grades can no longer be called ""good"", although the aren't terrible, either. Not that she'd care, either way."

She tends to force optimism rather than confront reality.<br/><br/><b>Skills:</b>High intelligence, musical aptitude, excellent singer<br/><br/><b>Bio:</b>Sayuri was born into a family of musical prodigies. Her father was a talented violinist while her mother was known nation-wide as a master concert pianist. Natural she and her siblings shared their parent's passion for music and even shared their talent. Sayuri was drawn to the piano and, under her mother's proud tutelage, blossomed. At the age of seven she had already won awards for her playing and it was said that she had the potential to surpass even her mother. As Sayuri entered her early teens, however, things began to go wrong. She began to suffer slight losses in motor control, namely in her legs. These quickly spread to her arms and hands as well and affected her ability to play the piano. She was taken to several doctors and was finally diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Ataxia, a degenerative disease that would destroy her ability to move her muscles, further disrupt her motor-control and finally damage her organs. Eventually she would die as her organs shut down, and her dream of playing the piano was over as well. Whenever she tried, her weakening fingers would stumble over the keys that she could once make sing. She decided that she would never again touch another piano. As her condition worsened she was eventually bound to a wheelchair, this coincided with her graduation from middle school, and so her family had her enrolled in Yamaku, where she has been since.<br/><br/><b><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8X_bUyrUfg"">Theme Song</a></b>"

Junko had a tendency to generate strange rumors about herself due to the strange way she dressed and the color of her hair. Of course, her being friends with some people who were in a gang also helped generate some of those rumors.<br/>She used to be with the Blue Falcon gang at the time, not really doing anything more harmful than loitering about in front of shops and boasting about inconsequential things. Until another member was beaten up by another neighboring gang, simply because 'it wasn't their turf'.<br/>All hell broke loose, and they took to battling the other gang. It was something thrilling for her at the time, fighting alongside your friends, the bond of trust between them. However, it was soon apparent the Blue Falcon was outnumbered, and they started recruiting. The Blue Falcon was evolving to something else, going far from the gang's origins. They were holding their grounds now, and the other gang didn't try to beat them up as much as before.<br/>The Blue Falcon survived, but in the process had become something she loathed, so she simply left, saying goodbye only to the original members of the Falcon. The very next day, she was hit by a car, the driver drunk as a raccoon in a beer barrel. The Falcons thought it was the other gangs, and since she was one of the originals, took it very personally.<br/>Junko never heard from them again.

</div><br/><b>Name:</b>Mizuki Haruto<br/><b>Gender:</b>Male<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Straight, prolly.<br/><b>Age:</b>18<br/><b>Personality</b><br/>Jay Lowell, known officially as Mizuki Haruto, is an oddball known for doing odd things. Inflicted by chuunibyou syndrome, as well as narcolepsy, he's someone who walks the line between sleep-deprived eccentricity and batshit insane. He honestly believes that there are two realities that he lives in, and conducts himself in a knightly manner, even though sometimes, he'll clutch his chest dramatically and run away, saying that the demon within him is baring its fangs. Even though the only times its happened is when he wants to avoid dealing with something, and just runs away. One who likes to call himself an 'outlaw', Jay is childishly attracted to doing silly, fun things in extreme manners, such as riding a bicycle down a slide or swinging on swings before jumping off them and doing a barrel roll at the apex of height. Crazy things like that, really. A cliche person who overdoes it and literally shits cartoon physics out of his ass, sometimes, people aren't sure whether Jay is actually a human, or just a living, breathing personfication of a trope.<br/><br/>He often has his hair in a ponytail, and treats his hair band as a limiter for his strength. His eyes are only red because contact lenses are OP. And finally, he has the oddest fear ever of umbrellas. Never knew why though.<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

<br/>Heavy Sleeper – Jay is a god-tier sleeper, who is almost impossible to wake up whenever he falls asleep. Unless you try to feed him garlic. Then he wakes up, if only to curse the person who tried that on him.<br/><br/>The Immaculate Blade of Black Heavens – Suffering from the dreaded middle schooler syndrome, Jay's creativity, spontaneity, and self-delusion skills are really something to be feared. Indeed, he's capable of making up the stupidest shit on the fly, and his ability to be embarrassed is something that is utterly, totally non-existant.<br/><br/>Night Owl – Due to the fact that he's prone to falling asleep at random times, Jay never ever 'tries' to sleep. Instead, he's mastered the skill of staying up after his bedtime, generally doing things OTHER than studying. After all, studying is merely a demonstration of the oppression of the academic system, and he will not stand being a trained dog.<br/><br/>Word Weaving – Perhaps it's a side-effect of his delusional fantasies, but Jay is remarkably skilled when it comes to writing anything from essays to articles to self-inserting fantasy novels.

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
<br/>Mizuki Haruto was born a normal child to two mothers who birthed him via a semen donor. He had no defects, and was generally a rather healthy baby growing up. He liked to play with crayons and take naps, but that was the extent of his oddities as a child. Even at the age of five, there wasn't anything seemingly odd about him, other than the fact that he had a habit of dozing off often. After all, at that age, he was still a toddler. His parents rationalized that he was most likely just a person who needed lots of sleep to function well, and like that, he became the type of child who would simply lie down and sleep anywhere, from cradles to chairs to fields to sidewalks. It was only when he started to do the latter that his two parents decided that it was high-time that he paid a visit to the doctor.<br/><br/>After a few weeks, Haruto was diagnosed with narcolepsy, a neurological disorder that brought him into a constant state of sleep deprivation, as well as go into REM sleep almost instantly every time he takes one of those 'naps'. On the recommendation of the doctor, the Mizuki family thus enrolled him into Hamako Elementary, which had an elevator system that would lead into Middle School, and then, finally, bring him into Yamaku for his High School education. Over there, at least, Haruto would be able to get specialized help in regards to his odd sleeping habits, instead of all his classmates panicking when he collapses out on the sidewalk or something. Going through elementary school with little to no problems in regards to friendships and his studies, Haruto was a bright student, which was good, considering he missed most of his classes. Developing powerful self-study and researching skills at a young age to make up for missing lessons, he was recognized back then as the kid who always brought a small pillow with him everywhere, just in case he fell asleep then and there. A kid with two mothers who always wore his winter uniform and brought a pillow with him everywhere. That was what Haruto was in the elementary school.<br/><br/>It was in middle school that things began to change. Light novels were more popular amongst students, and like everyone else, Haruto became wrapped up with that form of media. He would spend his days in the library, often falling asleep while reading some book about a generic Japanese protagonist finding out that he had super powers and starts beating up demons. His trademark pillow was replaced with a book, and his dreams were becoming more and more fantasy-related. Vivid, lucid dreams of a fantasy world and constant sleeping slowly blurred the line between reality for Haruto, and after awhile, he wasn't quite sure which one was real. After all, all humans saw the world in a subjective manner. What proof did he have that his 'fantasy world' was merely a fantasy, and his middle school life was reality? That, combined with the twisted hormones of puberty, made him go through the male version of PMS for quite a long time. After all, he doesn't even know who his father is, and his whole family situation is odd. He's losing grasp on reality, and he doesn't even WANT to figure out which one was which. He's missed out on so many fun things in life due to his tendency to suddenly fall asleep, and now, he's regretting all of those things. It was ultimately a depressing part of his life.<br/><br/>Then, he met the catalyst who solved his problems with a single suggestion.<br/><br/>“What if they were both reality?”<br/><br/>What if he had simply lived in two separate realities, with the motion of 'sleeping' being the key to entering another dimension? What was wrong with simply having his consciousness and unconsciousness both be forms of a 'real life'? There...was nothing wrong with that, and through his catalyst, Haruto was introduced to the world of delusions.<br/><br/>By the time he came into Yamaku High, he was truly engrossed in his own subjective definition of reality, as Jay Lowell, the Thousandth Star.

<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        Born of demonblood and the tears of angels, Jay was the fourth Demon of the Garuda clan to be created by the Dark Lord of Musphelheim, Azzendaer. With sanguine eyes and masterful transformation abilities, he was an assassin of the highest caliber, capable of taking the forms of anything that walked on earth, his disguise so believable that even Seraphims couldn't see through his deception. With that, he walked the earth, slowly corrupting the minds of all humans, elves, dwarves, and wereanimals with his insanity-inducing stares. A monster of sabotage, hundreds of thousands of knights hunted for him, but his shape-shifting prowess insured that he was never captured.<br/><br/>Back then, at the age of 432, he was a twisted monster in every single way.<br/><br/>His 999th mission from Azzendaer was to corrupt and convert the Thousandth Star of Astopol, one of the three thousand swordmasters who could make a contract with the spirits of the earth and fight on par with the demonic beasts that ravaged the lands of Ria'Lanv. Infiltrating the camps through his disguise as that knight's squire, whom he had dispatched of before hand, Jay became that knight lady's apprentice, learning the way of the sword and holy arts, so that one day, he would become the successor to her name. And even though his eyes were still red, even though he tried his best to infect her mind with corruption, his efforts were in vain. She stood firm and ignored his mental attacks, never even appearing to notice them.<br/><br/>No, it was more than that. Slowly, Jay's own view of the world began to change. He began to question the reason of his own existence, began to ask himself what HE wanted. He wanted to understand why demons wanted another world for themselves anyways, when Heaven, Earth, and Hell were basically all the same, albeit warped to suit the needs of their primary inhabitants. Under her guidance, he began to grow and change, for the first time since he was created. He became a respected swordsman, even though it was merely a disguise, and for the first time, he felt something akin to pride. The salvation of the humans just seemed to make him feel better than the corruption of them.<br/><br/>It was on his third year as her squire that she fell in battle, shielding him from the diamond-melting spray of the None-After Serpent. In three seconds, her body melted away, leaving nothing behind. No corpse to bury or burn. No memento to keep or treasure. Because of the salvation of a demon, she killed herself.<br/><br/>Jay should have been happy, and indeed, part of him did.<br/><br/>Yet the other part of him was dying on the inside, crying out in sorrow, raging for bloody, merciless vengeance.<br/><br/>That day, in heaven's stead, the demon smote the Serpent with a sword of blinding light, blessed twentyfold by the angels that he should have been fighting.<br/><br/>That, was the birth of Jay Lowell, the knight with a demon's heart and heaven's sword, an outlaw that walks his own path now: that of the destruction of Azzendaer, the Invincible Demon Lord that sits on the throne of Sandiltus, guarded by an elite echelon of demonic warriors.<br/><br/>His path is righteous, but his ways aren't.

</div>
</div><br/>Height/Weight: 170cm/59 kg (5'7"", 130 pounds)<br/><br/>Personality: Isamu is a very friendly person, owing to his seclusion for most of his life. He's quick to trust, quick to befriend, and quick to forgive. He holds the people in his life near and dear to him, and tries to make new friends wherever possible. He likes to crack jokes, sometimes with a somewhat dark nature to them, but he holds no prejudices or aversion to general society. Since being at Yamaku, he's gotten used to the stares, and occasionally snaps his ""claws"" at people he notices staring to freak them out. In class, he's diligent and hard-working, and can be described as a teacher's pet.<br/><br/>Skills: Origami, has a distinct love and talent for physics, and a talent (but no love) for mathematics. Also understands most English.<br/><br/>Bio: Ectrodactyly. A condition often referred to as ""Lobster claw syndrome"" by people who are aware of its existence, due to the...unique appearance it causes in those who suffer from it. The condition is congenital, but no family history of it exists. Isamu...just got unlucky. Some mutation occurred while his mother was pregnant, and now he has three fingers on each hand. The thumb, ring finger and little finger are intact, though separated. There is minor fusion of the ring and little fingers, though each retains most of its normal function.<br/><br/>Due to his condition, Isamu's parents home-schooled him. He knew that he was strange, and his home-schooling was voluntary. His life was relatively normal, as is the case for many ""lobstermen."" Despite appearances, Isamu retains most of the utility of his hand, and has a driver's license, as well as an interest in origami. When he reached high school age, his parents told him about a school where he could fit in, develop some independence, and make friends. Since he was home-schooled, Isamu's only friends were his parents and his cat. Since his parents had their hands full home-schooling Isamu, they never had another child. At least, that's the official story. Mr. Tanaka suffered an incident at work which damaged his hips and legs, as well as...eliminating his ability to reproduce. His mother has had many extra-marital boyfriends, sanctioned by her husband. Isamu has even met several of these men, and they have been known to contribute to his schooling as well.<br/><br/>Of course, given the choice to go out into the world, Isamu readily accepted, and has been at Yamaku for a few years now. The reason he is a year older than other students is because his home-schooling was somewhat delayed in order to prepare him fully for the world at large.<br/><br/>Other: N/A for now."

</div><br/><br/>Personality: He is apathetic, seemingly sociopathic, to everyone. There is no getting close to him, and even his friends will tell you he treats them the same. He can take a lot; he has no temper, and simply doesn't care enough to get angry. However, he loathes many people easily. He can't stand the sight of anybody who laughs off pain of any sorts, a bad combination considering his enrollment at Yamaku. He personally believes all injuries should be treated, and refuses to ignore any damage, even the weakest colds. If there's anybody he shows a warm heart to, it's his teachers, specifically his music teacher. His teacher's respect and admiration for his skills made the two very close, and Shiro trusts him most of all.<br/><br/>Skills: Shiro has played violin since he was 9, and as such competes with the best violinists. Also is extremely good at arithmetic and mathematics, most likely due to the common usage of fractional math in orchestral music. However, he hates any type of grammar with a burning passion.<br/><br/>Bio: Shiro Kurokawa was born into an abusive family. His father became an alcoholic after the loss of his first son, a stillborn. Shiro's mother took most of the pressure for a few years, before quickly turning to drugs herself. As he grew up, he learned to rely on himself more and more, taking the beatings from his father and the negligence from his mother. He learned how to not stick out of the crowd, and quickly became a nobody. The more time passed by, the less his personality remained. By the time he was 8, he had become totally apathetic. An eight-year old, and he was already running through depression, contemplating suicide. Until he found the violin.<br/><br/>One of his old childhood friends, not able to bear seeing him die slowly inside, introduced Shiro to the violin, a few days after his ninth birthday. At first it was nothing but a hobby, but it grew into his life. Every day Shiro took the abuse, took the loneliness, just praying for the moment he could get his violin, and play. And so he did. He played, and played, until his fingers went numb. He felt like he could see the light of day again, and he pushed through. He felt as if he could see it all.<br/><br/>Until he couldn't.<br/><br/>At the age of 10, he experienced cataracts, and could barely see. He tried to tell his parents, but all he received was a swift blow to the head. A few days later, retinal detachment occurred. With no treatment available, he quickly went blind. Bystanders couldn't stand it no longer. Child protection services were called, and he was moved to a new family. Nothing could touch the poor boy's soul anymore. Yet his violin stayed with him. Anybody could see that it was the last thing he was attached to, and nobody dared to touch it, for their own safety. He tried to fit in normally in the middle schools, but nothing seem to fit him. It was a relief whenever he could finally go to Yamaku, but to him it felt like a trap. But he couldn't refuse. He couldn't refuse anything. So he went. It became his home of sorts. He rarely if ever visited his foster home, and he became very familiar with the staff. It seemed he finally found a home he could feel safe in.<br/><br/>Other: PTSD from abusive childhood"

You choose a villain and stay true to the facts such as their history, likes, dislikes, motives etc. The rest, such as how you think they would act towards someone else, is down to you.<br/><br/>If you're in, then I claim Two face as my character!

</blockquote><br/><br/>Are you new or what?<br/>At this rate you will never write anything at all. The more you think the harder it will be for you to get to it. Creativity is not something that can be learned or rationally planned out, it's something that happens to you during the writing. Remember Rin, from KS? She wasn't really planning what exactly she's going to paint, she just took the brush in her..feet...and got to it.<br/>Aren't you writing for fun? Why are you making a srsbusiness out of it? No one is going to eat you if your writing isn't the best quality ever, and you will never get better if you won't practice. The worst thing you can do is go all perfectionist(autistic) and forget your initial objective-to enjoy your life&free time(especially since you have a precious little of both)."

She used soul perception occasionally and had yet to pin point any. She did have soul perception but it was not as strong as her mothers yet so it didn't always pick up souls but it could be helpful. Suddenly she heard a loud high pitch scream and she turned her head towards the noise her long white hair settling on her shoulders since it was no longer flowing behind her from the fast running. May looked over at her partner giving a slight smirk with her shark teeth.<br/><br/>""Haru, you hungry?"" May asked the blue haired boy who was about a month younger than her. She turned her head towards where another scream had come from, then she took off. May stopped at the edge of a roof and looked down into an alley where a group of five men were terrorizing two girls who seemed to be eighteen or so. ""Men can be so gross sometimes..."" May said glaring her red eyes towards them.<br/>May hopped down landing behind them silently. ""So you five are pre-kishin I see."" May said her eyes closed as she read their souls. The give turned their attention towards May allowing the two girls to escape. ""You little freak! You let our pleasure and meal get away."" One of them growled, ""you will have to do though."" He added as they walked towards her. May took her jacket off and cracked her knuckles. ""Red Star you know what to do."" She said holding her hands out. Her red eyes narrowing at the men causing them to flinch slightly from the sight of the strange red eyes."

The blue haired teen asked with a smirk. ""A weapon like me is bound to work up a big appetite. So Ihope i can trust you to treat me to a big meal.'"" A bit of his father's confidence shined through but at least he didn't have the same cocky oversized ego. a little confidence was necessary to move forward and believe in not only one's self but also their partner. As the approached the scene he smirked. ""Right May. you can handle these guys no problem."" Haru, or rather Red Star, spoke as he leaped into the air and transformed into a ninja sword. ""Just be careful not to cause too much damage to the surrounding area."" He added not wanting to get in trouble for collateral damage."

You will get your meal but can't promise on the damage."" May said as she caught Haru.<br/>""Bring it"" one of the guys said cracking his knuckles. The first guy charged at May. She jumped and flipped kicking him in the back and began dodging and hitting the pre-kishins. ""Let's make this quick. Chain Sickle mode!"" May said jumping up into the air ."

""Ok where are you Red Star, I know you beat me here. You are faster than me."" May called out into the darkness of shadows where the two lights did not reach."

Red Star said with a small laugh as he poked his meister on the shoulder. He was standing behind her. Yeah... It wasn't that hard for him to sneak up on her. ""And it's not 'if' you lose. because you will lose. You'll just put up a hell of a fight and look cool while you do it."" He said as he stepped away and grabbed a basketball.

As expected of my meister."" Red Star said as he removed his shirt and threw it to the floor. He was more muscular than one would expect a kid his age and size to be. Seriously... the dude worked really harder. May might have been the only person who worked harder. Which he liked. ""Made me work up a pretty good sweat."" He added taking a breath. ""We should definitely get some food now. We could use it."""

May then caught up to him and walked next to him. When they arrived she went and sat at a booth. May looked at girls who were checking out Red Star and rolled her eyes. ""Red Star you should probably put your shirt back on, or else you may blind the other costumers with your ugliness."" She said joking with him."

He wouldn't be wearing it. Besides. It was hot in the there. He took a seat across from her and smiled. ""I guess it's fine. Just remember I'm a big eater."""

When it came to just about everything the only girl he really hung out with was May. Mostly cause there weren't many who could keep up with him or her. So she was his ideal partner."

""So, I have always been curious. What exactly do souls taste like?"" She asked looking at her partner. She remembered the day they decided to be partners. It was when they were still little kids and had found out about whether they were a meister or weapon. They had been close back then since they were only a few months apart in age and one day they just decided that they will be partners and they pinky promised. Both had been offered many different opportunities but they stayed true to their promise and when the day came to announce your partner and receive your first mission. They found eachother and made it official."

""Hmmm... We'll... If I have to explain it, I would say that souls kind of taste different depending on where there from. In my own personal opinion, they're pretty freakin sweet. The eviler the kishin egg the sweeter the taste. Some can be bitter... But really they taste pretty good if you have the stomach for them."" Red Star felt they were probably different for everyone who ate them. It was the kind of question that when asked 100 times, 100 different answers would be given.<br/><br/>(D'awwwww Pinky promise x3)"

May said nodding with understanding. ""Then I'll find you some evil kishin eggs more often"" May said giving her partner a quick wink to mess with him. The food soon arrived and May dug in, she finished it pretty quickly and then waited for her partner while she sipped on a chocolate shake."

Red Star said with a calm smile. Soon he finished his food. ""So we gonna go home now?"" He asked not sure if there was anything else to really do. They'd fought, played, and eaten. What else? Just sleep right? He chuckled. They really didn't do much huh?"

It's useful that our houses are near eachother cause I'm guessing my dad and your dad are very drunk and so is kid since he probably drank 8 drinks exactly"" May said laughing. ""Speaking of which, we are the only set of partners to not live seperately from their parents so maybe we should both get a dorm or apartment of some sort together if you want."" May added as she stood up leaving money on the table and heading towards the door to walk to their houses."

And you're mom and my mom probably stayed sober to watch our dads."" Red Star responded with a laugh. ""But can Shinigami even get drunk?"" He asked calmly thinking for a moment. ""Oh well."" He shrugged it off listening to her talk about living together. ""Alright. Let's do it."" He said with a smirk. ""If you wanna check it out I've got a place in mind already. Nice, but still well within our respective budgets. And the owner has a sweet spot for DWMA students."" He said calmly."

May said smiling before taking off running. Once they reached the neighborhood she saw her house and turned to Ref Star. ""Well goodnight."" She said lookin at him, ""this night was definitely a cool one."" She added her smile turning into a shark tooth smirk."

She said before heading inside her house. She was greeted by darkness then when she walked by the kitchen she saw her mother sitting at the table reading. ""Hi mama."" May greeted. ""Oh hi May, you were out late again. You know you aren't suppose to be out late that much right? Stein spe-"" may cut off her mother,""specifically to not be out too late at night alone so as not to set off any madness. Yeah I know but I was with Red Star so my mind was distracted. Speaking of which I think we are finally getting an apartment together like all the other Meister weapon pairs."" ""Oh that's nice but we need to break it to your father slowly and cooly. He's not used to your brother being in an apartment with his partner and you being his 'little girl' which is uncool especially for him."" Maka and May both laughed. ""Well goodnight mama."" May said walking towards her room. ""Goodnight May."" Maka said. May soon reached her room and changed into pjs and got into bed, she fell asleep reading one of her secret romance stories."

""Where were you?! I was so worried!"" Tsubaki spoke rather loudly in a worried tone of voice as she embraced her son. ""He was probably out with May showing her how big of a guy he is."" Black Star barked with a roar of a laugh. He was obviously drunk. ""W-what? No!"" Red Star tried to argue but was pulled over by his father who man handled the tough brat like nothing. ""Don't try to fool me. Of course you were. Out at all hours of the night."" The grown man laughed more trying to remove his son's clothing. ""Dad... Woah! Sto..."" Red Star tried to fight back. He wanted to get away. His father was so stupid when he was drunk. Well... He was stupid when he wasn't drunk too. ""Hey we're father and son. There isn't any shame between us."" The muscular blue haired man laughed. Soon thought Red Star would break free just as his mother grabbed her husband. ""Come on sweetie. Haru must have had a long night. Let's let him get some rest and do the same."" She said opting not to let this madness go on any further. And with that Red Star smiled at his mom and proceeded to his room with utmost speed. ""Night!"" He called out. His parents returned with a ""Sweet dreams"" Despite the foolishness and everything they both cared deeply. It was kind of sweet. Until Haru would be woken up with a morning sparring session. He might miss that though when he moved out... CRAP! ""Forgot to tell them..."" He muttered before drifting off into dream land."

May sighed looking at her complexion in the mirror. Her hair was in a bun and there were dark circles under her eyes, making it obvious that she had little to no sleep. ""Mama!"" She called as she stood silently in the doorway to the bathroom. Maka came down the hallway and to her daughter, ""Yes May"". ""Can I borrow your foundation, that's the only makeup that I'm out of. Please mama?"" May basically begged. Her mama smiled and gave her the foundation in which May then applied to her face along with her normal makeup that included some blush, some mascara, and a light lip-gloss. Just something to enhance her natural beauty, as her mom called it, or the curse of attractiveness that would make boys swarm over my daughter, as Soul would say. May quickly got dressed into her normal outfit and put her white curls into her normal ponytail with a read ribbon. She ran out the door and grabbed the keys to her dad's motorcycle. ""Borrowing the motorcycle like you said I could."" She called before shutting the door. She hopped on the bike after plugging in her earphones to the song Toxic - By Brittney Spears. With that she put on her helmet and patiently waited for Red Star to come outside his house so they could go together like always. While waiting May sang the song outloud forgetting where she was."

Red Star said poking May on the shoulder. He'd been ready. In fact he'd been woken up at around 4:30 by his father. The man sobered up fairly quickly and pretty much dive bombed his son after he got a few hours of rest. From there a rigid exercise and spar session began. Still despite all of that Red Star looked relatively normal. ""Let's hurry before mom loses her hold on dad and we end up going through the same thing we went through last month."" He said with a sigh. Black Star didn't know when to quit sometimes. ""Oh you look good today, by the way. Or maybe I should say as usual."" He said with a slight laugh."

""Not cool. Don't sneak up on people, it is really uncool."" she said after removing on of her earphones. She looked over to Red Star's house. ""Shit, get on. Your dad has been released. I can sense his soul moving quickly our way."" May said. Once he was even slightly on the motorcycle, she took off. She sped up as Black Star ran out the house towards them. But luckily they had gotten away. Once she knew they were safe she slowed down a bit and began the trip to the DWMA. Once at the academy, she parked the motorcycle and jumped off taking her helmet off and fixing her white hair. May smirked her shark tooth grin and looked at Red Star. ""Are you coming or not? Oh and thanks by the way"" She asked and then replied to his comment back at the houses."

Sneaking is kind of necessary.."" Red Star laughed before abruptly being caused to take off when he trying to get on the bike. When the ride ended he felt kind of sick. ""S-so reckless..."" He said. It wasn't a problem if he was ready, but he totally wasn't at the time. He followed after his meister a bit slower than usual. ""Just... gimme a minute."" He said gathering himself."

May opened it and read it outloud, it read:<br/><i>Mission Title: Chernobyl Disaster<br/><br/>Location: Chernobyl, Ukraine<br/><br/>Reward: 200 Hell, 1 Kishin-Egg Soul<br/><br/>Difficulty: Medium<br/><br/>Mission Description: The year, 26 April 1986, a disaster was heard across the world. The fourth nuclear reactor in the town of Chernobyl had exploded, spewing radioactive material throughout the town. Many of those in the town are gone due to radiation exposure or cancer of some sort. Women who were affected by the radiation that had offspring after the explosion were shown to have children with disabilities, either mental or physical. With nothing else to do with the site, Chernobyl was left as a ghost town for quite a while. Being a ghost town, animals such as wolves have come to make it their home, unknowing of the abnormalities that their pups will eventually have. <br/><br/>Currently, there were a series of abductions in the nearby cities. The only one to see the creature, described it as the Black God, Czernobog. It seemed to be a deformed human, most likely linked to the disaster that happened so long ago. The DWMA was called by the authoritative to investigate what exactly this creature is and why it is there.<br/><br/>Special Note: Because of the radiation that still consumes the air of Chernobyl, your party will only be given one day. Even with that amount of exposure could leave you with problems. Come at your own risk. The Black God seems to also be effected by madness and the area around him radiates with pure madness.</i><br/><br/>""This mission is totally cool....How bout we go find the new apartment and move in and we will discuss the mission further over dinner?"" May asked looking at him waiting for his response."

The Radiation can hurt you can't it? I mean... Us... Especially if we're there for over 24 hours."" Red Star was genuinely worried for his partner. What if something went wrong? This mission seemed a bit much for kids. But at the same time he was sure he could handle it if he was with may."

Thus making it easier for us to get in and out.

Red Star said smirking as he threw his arm around May. ""I have nothing but faith in you partner."" He said as he walked with her. ""Now let's go find a place to live. Preferably somewhere kind of big."""

Or condo... Or something."" Red Star said with a laugh. ""Let's go check it out.""

They were a revered team. ""Alright Red. You better have the money."" Ren said calmly. ""Yeah May has it. Don't worry."" Red Star laughed a bit. ""Alright. And next time you're up for sparring let us know."" Shosuke said before fist bumping Red Star. ""Alright so first sign the contract for living here and then you pay rent every month on the 5th."" Ren said calmly. Red Star nodded. ""Student discount right?"" He asked. ""Of course."" Shosuke answered before handing the paper Red Star had signed to May."

It had sensed a new presence enter the confines of it's domain. I stalked it's new prey. Waiting for a moment to strike. The hideous beast composed of flesh and scattered fur along it's some what bone ridden elongated body peered down upon May and Red Star. It snarled before leaving it's vantage point.

She then charged forward and used the chain to wrap around the monsters legs as she slid under them hoping to catch it off balance. Currently it hadn't unleashed any madness or radioactivity from it's body so it was still as safe a battle as it could be.

She clutched her head with the hand not holding Red Star, she could feel her body's madness being off-set, the balance she created was no more. May began to giggle and she slouched over slightly. Without Red Star's control his ninja sword form turned into a scythe that glowed red and had a black stem. Her eyes appeared to glow the same red color with big black pupils in the middle as she continued giggling like a madman."

May then dropped Red Star on the ground and wobbily walked over to the soul. ""It's all weird and funny looking."" May said still giggling uncontrollably. A clock on her wrist went off as it marked the 23h30min mark of them being in the radioactive zone. May continued giggling happily as she held the soul in her hands. The madness waves offset her balance in her body and until she was away from this area then she wouldn't get any better. ""I wonder what they taste like, I bet they taste as funny as they look. Wait wasn't there something about meisters not eating Pre-Kishin souls.... Oh well!"" May said with another giggle as she opened her mouth wide so she could try to eat it.

He said feeling rather sick and weak. He shook his head and ate it before she could argue or anything. This wasn't her. He sighed and picked her up holding her tight so she couldn't struggle too much. He had to hurry. He had to. Without another word or thought he took off sprinting as fast as he could."

THIS IS FUNNN"" May said giggling louder as she made her body almost completely straight making it that much harder to hold her as she stuck her hands in the air swaying side to side giggling.<br/>(hehe it's fun to play an insane person hahahahaha)"

They were almost out. Just a bit more. He kept moving. ""May I need you to come back to your senses."" He said sounding a bit week. Just a few more minutes. He only had one thing on his mind it was was getting them out of there. And soon they would be. Just a few more steps."
21568,Soul Eater: Next Generation,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19000-soul-eater-next-generation,['1x1'],2014-05-29 03:18:00,Kitty,"May continued giggling but it was slowly beginning to be less frequent as her sane side was winning the inner battle, it was hard but she was winning. Slowly but surely."

He panted heavily as his grip on May loosened a bit. ""I... I can't... go on..."" Luckily they had already gotten out, but just barely. He dropped to his knees. ""May... Don't... Move..."" He said struggling to stay conscious. He was on his knees and she was standing. And he was hugging her. It just worked out this way."

""Oh god... Red Star I'm so sorry."" May said using her strength to pick him up and carry him to the closest town. ""Stay conscious Red.... I'm so sorry....."" May said to him."

She called her mom and felt tears streaming down her face.<br/><b> Bold for Soul </b><br/><i> Italics for Maka </i><br/><i><b> Both for both </b></i><br/>Normal for May<br/><br/><i><b> Hi May!</b></i><br/>""Mom... Dad...""<br/><b> Yeah what's wrong May?</b><br/>""It happened... and it.. it affect Red Star... I don't know how......"" May said as she broke down crying<br/><i>We will be there in a few hours. Don't take him to the hospital only the DWMA can help him now. We will bring Tsubaki and Black Star with us.</i><br/>The call then ended.<br/><br/>A few hours later her parents arrived with Red Star's parents. Her parents conforted the crying May along with her brother who had tagged along while Black Star and Tsubaki tended to Red Star. They boarded the Death Scythe Jet and got back to the DWMA in no time. Red Star was taken to the infirmary where he was nursed back to heal. May never left his bed side once."

Tsubaki not so much. But Black Star managed to convince her to keep her distance. The two had their own lives to live. Red Star was slowly coming to. ""Uhh..."" He groaned as came back to reality."

""What did you not trust me? Did you think I'd quit being your partner?"" He wasn't mad. Just a bit hurt. He sighed. ""What exactly happened?"" He then asked wanting her to tell him herself what was wrong. Even if he knew he wanted to see if she'd tell him or hide something."

May said pulling her chair next to the bed and beginning, ""It all began when I was younger....""<br/><i><br/>May was sitting with the other girls on the floor. They were all playing duck duck goose during their free time. Everything was peaceful until a loud bang erupted down the hallway. The 2nd grade class she was in all let out screams and the teacher heard them into a corner not visible from the door. Soon the door handle turned and a strange woman entered the room and went to where she could see the class. The woman was a witch, her skin was light gray, her eyes pink, and her hair blonde with two blue streaks. She wore a loose orange dress that was more like a sweater that hung to mid-thigh with black boots reaching her knee. On her head was a purple slime looking creature hat that had two paws hanging from it to the floor. The witch cackled as she looked at the class for someone specific. The witch's pink eyes locked onto May's crimson eyes. The witch walked over and grabbed May by the neck lifiting her up as a small ball of energy formed in the witches hand. ""This is for what your parents did to my mother!"" She screeched as the ball went into May's stomach like a bullet. May was then dropped to the ground unconscious and loosing a lot of blood. What she wasn't awake to experience was her parents killing the human-witch hybrid and taking her to the hospital. At the hospital Soul had to donate some of his blood in order to save May. As time went on the black blood from Soul's blood began to make her mad. The madness was strong in her body and it took 5 years to balance it where May had good enough control to allow her to fulfill her spot as a meister at the DWMA.</i><br/><br/>May finished and looked at Red Star. ""The creature released waves of madness the other day and the balance in my body was upset, it caused me to go mad and the madness leaked into you turning you into a strange scythe form. I didn't know it would also affect you if that happened. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before but we thought I had control over myself but I guess we were wrong."" May said, the we she was referring to was her family."

""May. You've been through a lot. I understand that more than ever now."" He paused for a moment. ""But!"" He punched her in the shoulder lightly. ""From now on we're gonna need to work on this whole madness thing and your lack of faith in your weapon."" He laughed a bit trying to lighten the mood with May. It must have been hard for her to tell him all of that."
21578,Soul Eater: Next Generation,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19000-soul-eater-next-generation,['1x1'],2014-05-30 03:12:00,Kitty,"May grinned and nodded. ""Maybe we can train for when I do go mad... The scythe you turned into seemed pretty epic if I do say so myself."" May said laughing slightly also wanting to lighten the mood."
21579,Soul Eater: Next Generation,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19000-soul-eater-next-generation,['1x1'],2014-05-30 03:26:00,Demon Shinobi,"""Yeah... We should train that more."" Red Star getting a bit serious on that matter. ""Madness kind of hurts..."" He mumbled under his breath. Maybe it was just an effect on him given the circumstances. He was fighting it. And it was forcing its way into him and that bothered him."
21580,Soul Eater: Next Generation,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19000-soul-eater-next-generation,['1x1'],2014-05-30 03:32:00,Kitty,"""I know it does, "" May said sighing, she had just barely heard him. ""So the more we train the easier it will be for you to pull me back so it doesn't hurt anymore."" She said with a slight smile."

Right now I'm hungry... And we need to buy groceries... And go home. We have a lot to do."" Red Star said with a laugh."

May said dragging him to the grocery store. She went around and got food and stuff for her room while they were there. ""Ready to go?"" She asked after finding him."

He'd been pushing the cart around while she filled it up with groceries. He didn't wanna waste too much energy since he was gonna carry it all home. He didn't wanna overwork himself either. She had just dragged him out of the infirmary. Without consulting a doctor no less."

She grabbed them all onto her arms and began walking. She looked like a human coat rack but with bags. ""Let's go. I am not letting you lift any of this. Don't even try to take them or else."" May said shooting him a deadly glare."
21585,Soul Eater: Next Generation,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19000-soul-eater-next-generation,['1x1'],2014-05-30 23:25:00,Demon Shinobi,"Red Star was a bit surprised. But after a second of thinking he smirked and nodded. ""Fine. I won't lift the bags. In fact I won't touch them."" He said with a slight chuckle before lifting May up. ""See? Not a finger has been laid on the bags."" It was one of those moments where you could see the difference of intelligence between him and his father. Black Star definitely would not have thought of this and would have just argued."

She jumped up with her strength and brought the book down onto his head with force. ""MAY-CHOP!"" May exclaimed before turning on her heel and picking the bags back up.

May said calmly as she walked to the bathroom after grabbing pjs she just bought and the stuff she needed for taking the bath. She locked the door and took a quick bath before changing into pj pants and a tank top with a sportsbra. May then brushed her wet, white hair and exited the bathroom. ""It's all yours Red"" May said brushing her fingers through her hair as she walked down the hall to the main room."

Only the quietest and simplest tasks so as not to alert May who'd likely scold him for not just resting. But he couldn't. Everything that happened was weighing heavily on his mind. He felt useless. Unable to protect his meister. He sighed. And after about an hour he went to sleep.

You're early for training and your without your weapon."" Stein said stating the obvious in his normal monotone voice. ""I want some personal training on my madness."" She said simply. Stein nodded and brought her in. He set up a room with candles that gave off madness wave lengths when burned. He then told her to concentrate and to battle the Wave lengths. They were going to do that until 3. Each time she lost control he would take her out and give her some tea. Each time she battled longer than before but it was hard and it gave her a real mental workout."

Some trying to get him to become their weapon. He refused faster than many could even ask. He was so happy when 3 came and he arrived at Steins and knocked on the door. ."

May was sitting in the middle of the candles her eyes closed and her face scrunched together as she had an internal battle with herself. May had light sweat all over her body from the exertion. May soon lost and she got all loopy and began laughing. Stein walked into the room and pulled May out and say her on a couch. Soon she came back to herself and she grabbed the tea in front of her not even knowing her partner was there.

It might make things a bit tougher."

The madness May took the dagger from her other hand and cut a slice on her hand, black blood dripping out. She handed the dagger to May and motioned for her to do the same. May did so and they placed their hands together. May then was shot backwards by an invisible force into the wall of her soul. ""You have been rejected.""

She turned around and stuck her tongue out before opening the door and running off into the crowded hallway towards the exit. Only to be stopped by her older brother who had just returned from a mission with his meister. ""Duke!"" May exclaimed jumping and hugging him. Her older brother easily caught his younger sister and smiled setting her down and ruffling her hair. ""How are you Ma-"" He stopped when he saw her bandaged hand. ""What happened? Did Red Star hurt you? I knew that I shouldn't have let you two pair up"" Duke said anger getting to him. Duke was very overprotective and did not like Red Star one bit. ""Duke..."" May groaned trying to explain that it wasn't Red Star. Eventually she did but Duke still kept talking about how he didn't like Red Star."

Don't let me spend anymore time polluting the air you two breathe with my presence."" he said as he continued past them obviously not liking the words spoken about him. But he wasn't about to beat up May's brother. Not unless he said something about something or someone other than himself that he cared about."

""Sorry. He's over protective. He has always been. Now you actually know a big part behind it though, with my black blood and everything."" May explained trying to calm Red Star down. She didn't like her brother being a jerk to her partner but she couldn't help it. Honestly if they as in Duke could get past the hatred they'd probably be good friends."

It's like you didn't even try."""

She took her hair ribbon out letting it fall down before diving into the lake and swimming down. Letting the cool water calm her before resurfacing and swimming to the dock and climbing out and sitting there. She motioned for Red star to join her.

May said, But truly underneath, she was more bothered by what she saw after being told by the other her that she was rejected. It was not a pleasant thought and she just hoped her partner would be convinced that what she told him was all that was bothering her.<br/>(When creating the other post about my soul I also thought of an idea where in the place within her soul where the madness/black blood resides. There is a strange land almost like the wonderland in the game Alice: Madness Returns. And there is like a blockage(something like the queen of hearts) that is keeping her from getting full control over her madness and the strength from it. What do you think, is that weird? haha)"

Cause right now you don't look like you'll be of much use in this fight."" Red Star being pretty blunt with his thoughts on the matter. Sure it was kind of mean. But he cared for May. And he was afraid she might get hurt. So if she wasn't up to it he wasn't gonna let her fight. Even if he had to force her to stay down. Which was odd since they were in her mind. But that made getting her out of this fear of hers even more important. Not the fear of fire which had subsided, but the fear of the madness and losing to it."

She brought her legs up and planted her feet on his chest before kicking him hard to knock him off. She then stood up glared at him. ""If I'm useless then get out and let me handle this myself. Go get a new partner, one who isn't useless."" May growled before charging at the monster. She dodged attacks and slid under its legs. She then pushed herself up and grabbed onto the metal pieces in its back and pulled herself up. May dodged as it swung its big arm toward her, she then pulled on a piece of metal until it broke off. May then leapt off and dodged its big arm again. May used her agility and jumped on the big arm before it swung up, launching her into the air. She aimed and came down, the metal piece and her going straight into the black blood creature. May was now inside the creature and she killed it with the metal. The doll heads falling off the creature as it melted. In the end May was left standing covered in the black blood in the middle of a black blood puddle. She threw the metal piece to the side and then set her glare on Red Star."

""Now go in the cave and don't look."" May said, ""Or else."" She added at the end as she slipped off her boots and socks and set them aside.

He grabbed the wrist of the hand she was using to hold the knife. ""Let go of it. Let go of it now."" He ordered her not wanting to hurt her anymore than necessary. Though he was squeezing her wrist pretty tight and might have been hurting her anyway."

It felt as though he was crushing her bones but she used his grip and flipped aiming a kick to his head while he still held her.

""If that it?"" He asked as he yanked her back down. She would hit anything, but he'd have a better hold of her and she'd probably end up dangling over the edge of the branch. ""You can put an end to this, but letting go of the knife. It's that simple."" He told her hoping she'd just give in. May couldn't beat him in hand to hand combat when he got serious. No way. Not Black Star's kid who'd gone through some hellish training with his father."

He grabbed the blade with his free hand. Then he began to try and force it from her hand. It was all he could do now. Of course, now it would be a lot easier to make him stumbled off the branch because of the position he was in."

She never let him touch the ground or fall in his weapon form. It was just something wired into her brain. May thrashed in his grip to try and get him to let go of her."

""Alright May... Fine..."" He said looking down. ""I give..."" He stepped back a bit. ""You've never let me hit the ground as a weapon before if you could help it."" He then said beginning his last ditch effort. ""So if you let me fall now... I'll know you really don't want me to be your partner anymore."" He glanced at the cat. ""HEY! If I hit the ground... Toss me into the water."" He called out before leaping off the branch and turning into his ninja sword mode. He was heading straight down."

She had promised to him once she would never let him fall. She never broke a promise. She jumped off, reaching with her other hand. She gripped her opposite hand around the grip and she rolled when she hit the ground. As she stood up a blast seemed to come from her soul, the blast knocked the knife out of her hand leaving only Red Star in her hand. Her eyes returned to normal as a headache formed. From her catching Red Star it helped repel the spreading madness and her soul sent a blast of anti-madness wavelength knocking the blade out of her hand.<br/>Cheshirejumped down and looked at them in shock. ""Crap..."" He cursed under his breath. May glared at the cat. ""I almost left my partner, the most understanding person in my life because of you..."" She growled. ""You're done for. I know you are made of pure black blood of the kishin. Part of my own black blood. I saw what my mad self was thinking, the black blood inside me keeps me from controlling my madness fully. If I destroy the main black blood inside me then I will gain full control to harness my madness. Goodbye Cheshire."" May said before she used speed star, the only skill she knew to use from the star clan, to charge forward and slice the cats head off with Red Stars ninja sword mode. When she sliced through him he turned into liquid in the form of black blood then evaporated completely.<br/>May sat on the ground leaning against the tree. She carefully set Red Star beside her so he could return to normal. ""I'm sorry red. I should have listened to you. I know I'm bad at that but I promise I will get better. I'm sorry, really sorry.""

""Don't worry about it May..."" He mumbled as he leaned on her. ""For now let's just rest and put this all behind us. Okay partner?"" He said putting a bit more weight on her as he was tired from fighting and arguing... With her..."

She would stay awake until he woke back up despite how tired she was. She needed time to think so she would let her partner sleep first then he could take watch while she slept if he was up for it.

As he got a bit more comfortable he put his arms around May and pull her down making her lay with him. She must have been tired. Maybe this was his way of making her sleep. Though he was already asleep himself.

Well that was interesting, her partner was cuddling her to him like she was a teddy bear almost. But by doing this she was being pulled into the sleep world. 'We should be fine for a few hours. We would both wake up if we sensed danger' May said before falling asleep also, unconsciously cuddling closer to him."

She tried to move so she could get up but she was held by Red and his grip was really strong for someone who was asleep. She sighed and just lay there beside him not wanting to wake him up."

Wasn't Cheshire the head honcho? Or is your brain doing the whole Wonderland thing to the end and making us have to beat the red queen?"""

In the field were ponds of black blood, basically the field looked more like a black blood/madness swamp. May threw Red Star up in the air to let him turn into his human form. ""Looks like we are here."""

The madness soul resonance weapon form. The two May's charged and their weapons clashed ringing out through the castle. The black blood of the scythe began to give a burn to Red Star when they hit. May pulled him away quickly when she noticed. ""Red, are you ok?"" May asked as she paried another attack with the demon sword feeling bad for the burn effect the madness and black blood would be giving to Red.

She could feel the strength as the black blood took over, she fought the madness as it tried to pull her into insanity.<br/><br/>In her soul the black blood began to flood the room that represented her soul. Her soul changed into endless blackblood as she swam through it not wanting to drown and give into it.<i>'Red Star!!'</i>she shouted in her mind as her soul self reached her arm towards what appeared to be the surface.

Suddenly he began to feel heavier. Dragging her down into the black blood flooding her soul. ""This is your world May. You control it. You cannot allow the blood to drive you into a corner. Don't let the fear take over."" Having said what he had to say he continued to try and force her down towards the ground. He was hoping she'd be able to take over.

May opened her eyes in the room of the castle again no longer within the room of her soul. Her eyes were glowing a bright red but she had full control over herself. May gripped Red Star in her hand and brought him forward. ""Remember when you transformed into a scythe when my madness took over. I think that is going to be our main weapon for this fight.

She also shares the same pale skin, shark teeth, and crimson red eyes. May seems to be her father in every way except her body type. Just like her mother May is on the shorter side only standing at 5'0"" tall and weighing 95lbs. She is a skinny girl but isn't completely flat chested like her mother was. Although she is still more petite than the average female at the academy. Sometimes her red eyes will glow slightly when she is affected by madness living deep inside her.(explained in history)<br/><br/>Her typical outfit is a black tank top that shows her stomach paired with black jean short shorts, black boots that reach to her knee and have red on the sole and a red line on the top. She then pairs it with a red jacket that is gray on the inside and has tight sleeves to the elbows before loosening and ending with a black strip. Although in the picture below it doesn't show it, her hair will have a red headband to keep her bangs out of her face and sometimes she occasionally braids her white hair with red and black ribbons in it to give her colored stripes or she puts it up in a ponytail.<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><b>Personality:</b><br/>May has been told by many doctors that she has a multi-personality disorder. In a way she does but she also doesn't. One personality is her normal one and her other one is her mad personality.<br/>Normal- May is a girl who is often seen as a reckless girl who enjoys food, mainly sweets, and tends to take off of her father she is seen as kind and caring and will do anything in her power to protect those she cares about. But this also leads to her rebellious side where she doesn't always listen to people. Although she isn't seen as your typical girl and is more tomboyish she does enjoy things like romance movies, romance novels, and all the lovey dovey stuff but that is her secret.<br/>Madness- When her madness is affecting her she is not only quite crazy but also quite silly, as her movements and behavior change drastically, and she resembles a state of inebriation. Her drastic behavior is clearly indicated by her swaying, and constant giggling, which further proves that the Black Blood(again explained in history) has a tendency to make users unlike themselves. May's eyes will also glow red and she is easily angered if you fight her on her own. When she is angered her movements will stop being strange but she will continue to giggle while she attacks you.<br/><br/><b>History:</b><br/>May was born and raised normally until one day she was at her elementary school and had been attacked by a weak half human half witch who had it out for her parents. As May had lost too much blood they needed someone in her family to donate blood to her and seeing as Soul was the only one with her blood type it had to be the one to donate it. What the doctors didn't know when they gave May some of Soul's blood was that he had some Black Blood in his blood stream that had now been moved into her body. The Black Blood didn't ever affect her to the extreme of hardening her blood but it just drove her mad at times randomly until she was old enough and finally learned how to keep it from taking over. May eventually learned by herself of the strength her madness gave to her so she knew she had a way to be stronger if needed but she kept that to herself along with her Black Blood secret, the only people who knew were her parents and brother and they always helped her through the madness if they could. She had still not decided whether she would tell her meister or not but she didn't care for now. What helps her the most though is singing, just like her father's side of the family she took to music very well and enjoyed playing piano or singing or both.<br/><br/><b>Theme Song:</b><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/feVmEWyAauM?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/><b>Other:</b>-N/A-"

</div>
</div><br/>Full name: Haru ""Red Star"" Nakatsukasa<br/>Age: 15<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Spot: Black Star and Tsubaki's youngest son<br/>Classification: Weapon<br/>Soul Resonance: I think it would be the Demon Sword and Shadow Star, but um... Thinking...<br/>Appearance:<br/>Haru - Unlike Black Star whose pupils gained their star appearance as a result of his clan's bloodline, Haru's pupils are always naturally in the shape of a star. However, when influenced by the madness the pupils grow considerably larger taking up more of his eye than just the usual inside of the blue pupil. He is kind of short standing at around 4'8"" yet still maintains a fairly muscular build due to the constant training he goes through. Although his appearance is much like his father's his hair is not as spiky and the star mark on his shoulder seems to be outlined in a dark shade of red.<br/>Weapon - Multiple Weapon Transformation: Haru can change into the multiple Weapon forms of his mother Tsubaki, some of which may not be listed. He can do this freely and quickly, something which would most likely be advantageous to his meister should they switch fighting styles. Haru can even change the weight of his weapon forms, making it easier for his Meister to wield them. With this in mind there are other weapon forms he holds which may not be listed in the images.<br/>Personality: Haru bares a large resemblance to his father, with a few differences, but personality wise the two are very different. Haru likes to speak his mind in certain cases, but he is not a loud mouth. He's more intelligent though still quite naive and fairly innocent when it comes to certain aspects of life. Like girls for example, or love. Overall he's kind hearted with a good sense of justice and high level of loyalty towards his meister. Still he isn't the quiet type. He tends to be a bit stubborn when he wants to do something. He usually doesn't follow orders from anyone but his family or his meister. And even than if it's a clash between family and meister he might choose his meister only because that is his partner and he must always have their back like they should have his. He can get defensive over the ones he cares about. Like really defensive. Might be a bit overboard actually. Rather than make himself the best his personality is more motivated towards making his Meister the best. In this sense he doesn't strive to reach his full potential. And with Black Star's combat abilities and strength partnered with Tsubaki's abilities and a somewhat higher intelligence, his potential is pretty high.<br/>History: Haru is the youngest child of Black Star and Tsubaki. You know the usual three child dynamic right? The oldest gets to do just about everything first. The middle is kind of just there and the youngest is the baby. Well... This is Black Star's family so FORGET THAT CRAP! Like he had done on the birth days of his other two children Black Star proclaimed that Haru would one day do amazing things. He smiled brightly and held up the infant with glee as he shouted about his happiness for his third child. Around the time Haru was 6 he found out that he could turn into a weapon. But not just a single weapon. Multiple weapons. The same ability at his mother. When he showed Black Star and Tsubaki they were excited. He could train with both of them like he'd been asking. Especially since he'd need to know how to control his weapon abilities and of course the child of the great Black Star would need to be able to properly defend himself in hand to hand combat. And so he was able to begin training with the rest of his family at the young age of six. He was happy. It was fun. He always excelled at the training. And even did well in his studies. Not amazing or anything, but a bit above average. Just a bit though. He was more gifted physically. Still it was kind of good that he wasn't as dumb as his father when he was young. Still for a few years or so things went smoothly for the young weapon. He was even able to learn Soul Menace. Sure he hasn't mastered it but he is only 15 after all. Over the years before coming to DWMA he experienced a few great memories as well as some horribly traumatic memories. Still he is pretty much always himself.<br/>Theme Song:<br/>(Why change something that fits so well?)<br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/e6CDOG5TjNw?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLLM56v-ww"">Or ya know this</a><br/>Other: I think you should just pick.<br/>*coughcough*nahjustleteveryonefightovermemwuahahaha*coughcough*"

She occasionally comes off as a bit of an airhead, but she is actually surprisingly intuitive, especially when it comes to her friends. Along with her intuition, Rena is known to be capable of becoming quite frightening and dangerously hostile when she is determined. She is able to easily intimidate people through her eyes and words, rarely losing emotional control like most people. Her friends often call her the ""quiet, blue flame that burns silently,"" referring to her capability of becoming incredibly powerful when push comes to shove, despite her normally girly and seemingly-airheaded personality; in such situations, Rena will always be the instigator of and the most bluntly offensive in a fight, as Rena also has the ability to fiercely and successfully retort in a very sharp and biting way when involved in heated debate. People describe Rena, and Rena describes herself, as being hostile towards people who make light of or express disbelief in the curse of madness. This is due to her own experience with it and her belief that the demon manifested by the black blood inside her heart and mind physically exists. She often empathizes with and is able to identify people who are afflicted with advanced symptoms of black blood madness. Rena appears to be very perceptive, as she is able to somewhat understand people just by looking at their face. She does admit directly that she can easily ""tell if you’re telling the truth or not just by looking into your eyes"". For the most part she is a sweet, feminine and sometimes shy girl when her madness is under control. This masks her dark and sanguinary side--a ruthless, cold and calculating psychopath who has little, if any problem hurting others for fun. She will resort to cruel and usually violent methods that generally end in bloody deaths. However, she isn’t always insane. Her brutal 2nd personality is the result of her blood being completely black, a trait she inherited from Crona. As she gets older however, the madness keeps getting stronger and she is struggling to keep the good, sane part of her alive. Thankfully you can tell if she is sane or not by looking at her eyes, which turn from their usual light pink color to blood red.<br/>History: Rena is Crona’s daughter. Like Crona, 100% of Rena’s blood is black and she struggles with insanity. Also like Crona, Rena’s weapon does not have a separate body. Unlike Crona, however, Rena is the Weapon as well as the meister. Although Rena is a weapon, she cannot transform, instead her blood can harden into a sword similar to ragnarock’s weapon form, except pure black. Also Rena can release/use blood to attacks of various shapes and/or intensities, either projected, used as a part of melee attacks, etc. Her favorite attack was one she inherited partly from her late grandmother Medusa. Known as bloody vectors, which grants her telekinetic extensions of herself made out of black blood and controlled naturally through both conscious thoughts and instinct. These vectors possess incredible strength, being capable of tearing apart, cutting and crushing extremely resilient materials like paper. They are also extremely fast and precise, following the user's thoughts instantly and exactly. They notably possess a perceptive aspect, allowing the user to instinctively sense things through them. During a fight, they can be used to deflect most attacks with frightening reactivity, and obliterate most targets with stunning speed and power. They are also very useful to neutralize opponents, physically overpowering them in a heartbeat, and keeping them submissive in a multiple telekinetic grip, all while appearing calm and passive. As she gets older however, the madness keeps getting stronger and she is struggling to keep the good, sane part of her alive."

Summer was coming to an end in the Antarctic and the snow wasn't too deep, the sun was still high in the sky for most of the day though. The squad's training earlier in the summer had been worse, trying to sleep in perpetual sunlight was not something Alex had relished. Alex was gazing about across the barren icy wasteland when the radio crackled into life.<br/>""Razor 1 Actual, this is command. Do you copy? "" Somewhat surprised, Alex responded.<br/><br/>""Uhhh this is Razor, I copy. This wasn't part of the training exercise."" There was a pause before command replied.<br/>""You are to cease your training and proceed to the coordinates being sent to you know. A helicopter from the Dewitt Research Base has crash landed. You are the closest unit we have, you are to secure the crash site and any survivors before heading to the Research Base, which you will secure. Do you copy.""<br/><br/>"" I copy. Razor out."" He said, putting down his radio. A few seconds later he received the coordinates of the crash site and turned the convoy of snowmobiles in the right direction, the rest of the squad would have heard the transmission so they was no need to rely it."

She looked back behind her and saw that the others were following suit, heading in the direction of the coordinates.<br/><br/>""Hey Wolf,"" she said in a normal tone knowing he would hear her even over the noice of their ride. ""...Any helicopters sent down here are supposed to be meticulously designed to withstand the weather down here. That may mean the 'copter had to have some kind of malfunction within the systems."" she said matter-of-factly the way she always did. ""However, just like they are designed to handle the weather, they are also not meant to just malfunction out of no where. That means if both of those things are true, it must have been one of two more things."" she paused, wondering if maybe she was overthinking this too much.<br/><br/>""The helicopter must have gone down as a result of human error or some kind of sabotage. Considering anyone down here has been trained not to make mistakes, my gut is telling me it was a result of some kind of outside interference."" she finished. As Andie stopped speaking she thought about offering a suggestion in regards to a plan, but she held her tongue. It was not her place to make the decisions, that was Alex's job. All she needed to do was give him any kind of information she could, mechanically speaking...that and an extra pair of guns. ""If my knowledge about those aircraft are as good as i think, once we get there i might be able to deterine the cause of the crash. I believe it is best to be on our guard.""<br/><br/>She stopped speaking then and looked out onto the fast snowy landscape and waited for their Captain to think."

""You could very well be right. Why it would be sabotaged though I don't know."" He replied, adjusting their heading slightly. ""Hopefully it'll just have been a malfunction, I'm starting to get sick of this place."" He said, knowing that any long delays that had here would likely mean having to redo their training exercise, despite the fact a real operation would been much more beneficial anyway. Sometimes he wondered why they were even here. War with Russia wasn't a certainty by any means and, even if it did come to that, he very much doubted a large amount of the fighting would occur in the Arctic circle.<br/><br/>""We're only a few minutes out now, hopefully there are some survivors."" He said over the squad's comms so that more than just Andie would hear. There were 8 of them on the mission. Alex and Andie were on the lead snowmobile followed by, Pope and Mother, then Summit and Kiwi, and Silver and Hawk on the last one. Most of the squad's callsigns had some basis in reality. Mother was the fieldmedic, Hawk an excellent Marksman, Pope was probably the most religious and Kiwi was originally from New Zealand, his callsign had never oozed originality. The helicopter came into view and Alex brought the convoy to a halt. ""We'll go on foot from here."" He said as he dismounted the snowmobile. ""Summit, Kiwi, Silver, Hawk, you stay here ready to bring the snowmobiles over. Everyone else with me."" He ordered, once everyone had pulled up and disembarked."

She walked towards Mother who was coming along with them and stood next to her. Should anything bad end up happening, it was Andie's job to make sure their medic was safe. Afterall, in a real combat situation, the team medic should be the farthest from the action. If she went down, there was no hope of helping others who got injured as well. Andie could fix machines, people....eh, not so much.<br/><br/>The three of them followed Alex towards the crash site. Andie was on her guard, overly cautious as usual, and stayed at the back while Pope and Mother traveled in the middle. She glanced back at her teammates once before she focused ahead.<i>Man....I have a bad feeling about this for some reason. I just hope this time...my gut is wrong.</i>she thought to herself. There was practically nothing out here, and she tried to convince herself that this was going to be simple and easy. Then they'd go back to the training exercise and maybe if her luck was good enough, she'd actually get a decent amount of sleep tonight.<br/><br/>With a sigh she decided to stop thinking about her own ambitions and focus on the task at hand."

It was a civilian transport helicopter, heavily modified for use in the Antarctic. Alex was certainly no expert on anything mechanical. ""Hummingbird, try and find out how it crashed. Pope, Mother check the back for survivors."" He said, as he pulled open on of the vehicle's side doors. Glancing towards the back he saw three bodies and some cargo. Leaving them for the others he turned towards the cockpit. The pilot's body was covered in blood. The helicopter had clearly hit the ground nose first and the man had been impaled in his seat by part of the wind shield. The snow that had come through the broken glass was red with blood. Alex checked for a pulse, just to make sure. ""Dead."" He called out to others as he made his way to Pope and Mother. ""What have we got?"" He asked.<br/><br/>""Two dead, one seemingly unharmed but unconscious."" Mother said, still knelt down examining on of the bodies. ""Scientists."" She added, holding up an identity card, slung round one of the bodies' neck on a lanyard, to show Alex. ""The two boxes contain core samples."" Pope added, standing over an open container.<i>Nothing too suspicious yet.</i>Alex thought to himself. ""Guys bring over the snowmobiles and load up the bodies. We'll have to head for the research base. Mother you deal with the unconscious guy, try and bring him round."" He radioed to the others before turning to Andie. ""Hummingbird, what's the verdict?"""

She did her usual rounds, assess then determine the problem by process of elimination. Andie studied the body of the helicopter first. The make and model number was written across the tail, it was a newer model of this specific type of 'copter, not the newest but but enough for it to have been built to easily do its job. Looking inside, she noticed the the pilot dead in the part sectioned off as the cockpit and looked to the control systems. They were locked in the place they were at the moment of the crash, other parts of the controls were badly damaged in the crash, too much so for her to figure out if there had been some kind of malfunction.<i>Hmmm....what happened in here?</i>she asked herself before carefully stepping inside. She looked around for signs of a struggle such as bullet holes or cuts on the inside that didnt appear to originate from the crash. Nothing out of the ordinary.<br/><br/>""Hummingbird, what's the verdict?"" she heard her Captain call out. She gave one last look around, her eyes falling to the pilot for another moment, before she left the aircraft. With a sigh she stood in front of Alex and her lips parted as she got ready to speak...to tell him that she had found nothing out of the ordinary, but she stopped and hesitated.<i>Wait....the pilot was...</i>She turned back towards the helicopter and jogged over to tht cocpit where the pilot sat dead, still grasping the handle that controlled the direction of the helicopter. This was what she was lookig at.. ""Wolf....you need to come and see this."" she called to him. The pilot's hands were holding the handle in a way in which, if the helicopter was going down, would not be the correct way to position it. To raise any kind of aircraft, your hands would be pulled back to make the craft raise up. Instead, his hands were positioned to make the nose of the helicopter plunge to the ground. This was human error....but she didn't think it was an accident. It looked as though the pilot had MADE this happen."

""Hmmmmm... Something is definitely going on here. But what?"" He asked rhetorically. ""We'd best get to the research base quickly."" He added, after pausing for a moment to try and make sense of everything. He headed back out to the snowmobiles where the bodies of the scientists had been loaded onto a sled, with Mother looking after the unconscious one. The pilot's body was trapped in the cockpit and with the strange turn events were starting to take, Alex didn't want to waste time recovering the body. ""Okay everyone let's move out, we're headed to Dewitt Research Base."" He ordered as he climbed onto his and Andie's snowmobile.<br/><br/>The helicopter hadn't crashed too long after leaving the base so it wouldn't be a long journey. None the less, as the convoy raced across the icy landscape. Alex radioed in to command to keep them updated. A few minutes later the cluster of buildings that was Dewitt Research Base came into view on the horizon. ""I've got a bad feeling about this."" He said to Andie. ""Something definitely isn't right."""

She agreed that something fishy was probably going on here. As she clung to his jacket, she thought about saying an ""I told you so"" at this point but she supposed it could be saved for later. Looking out ahead she saw the Reasearch Base, she started to think about what could have possibly happened in there. Being as there was nothing around this facility for miles, she wondered how anything could have gone wrong. She wasent a scientist afterall, nor had she ever been inside there, but hopefully it would have just been a one time thing and nothing else would need to be done.<br/><br/>In the back of her mind however, she knew that was just a blind wish."

As the convoy pulled into the centre of the base, Alex noticed 3 people standing by the main building waiting for them. It made sense, they would have been expecting them and the snowmobiles weren't exactly silent. The squad came to a halt and dismounted. Alex walked over to the scientists. Two woman and a man. One of the women stepped forward to greet him. She was late thirties maybe, blonde, certainly not unattractive.<br/><br/>""I'm Dr Jane Pierce, Head Scientist here at Dewitt."" She said, offering Alex a hand.<br/>""Captain Miller."" He said shaking her hand. ""There was only one survivor of the crash, and he's unconscious. We brought back all the bodies apart from the pilot. Is they anywhere we should put them?"" He asked. The other woman burst into tears and ran back inside.<br/>""She was... involved with Mike... The pilot."" Dr Pierce said glancing back at the closing door. ""Dr Thompson here can show your men where to take the bodies, and you can take the unconscious one to the infirmary."" She continued. ""Who was the survivor?"" Alex had checked the man's identity card earlier.<br/>""Dr Daniel Gooding, if I recall correctly. Mother take him to the infirmary, Summit, Kiwi, Pope, take the bodies with Dr Thompson.""<br/>""He'll be devastated when he comes round. Dan and Mike were practically inseparable."" Jane replied. ""Please come inside, it's far too cold to stay out here all day."" She said, maintaining her reserved attitude, although Alex could tell she was clearly somewhat shaken by the ordeal.<br/><br/>The Doctor led them into a communal living area. Chairs, a coffee table and a tv, furnished the somewhat sparse room. Once inside Alex took off his goggles and pulled down the scarf he had been using to cover his face from the cold. He was still confused as to why the helicopter had crashed and he decided to question Jane.<br/>""Dr Pierce, where was the helicopter headed before it crashed?"" He asked.<br/>""To the other US owned base down here, MacArthur. We were sending ice cores to them to be tested, our equipment here is broken. Then we got the mayday call and sent out a distress signal.""<br/>""Okay, how many people are on this base?""<br/>""15. Well 12 now I suppose."" She sighed.<br/>""Hummingbird, Hawk, go find the others and gather everyone in this room."" Alex ordered Andie and Hawk. Their second objective had been to secure the base after all. ""Do you have a record of your radio transmission with the helicopter and the other base?"" He asked Dr Pierce.<br/>""In the radio room. Follow me."" She said, Alex indicated for Silver to follow."

""You should prabably take the side that Mother and Pope went; tell them to meet here. I'll take ths side."" she said, jabbing her thumb to the opposite side of the base. He nodded and trudged off and so did she.<br/><br/>Andie was curious abut the radio transmisson records...she wanted to know if her assumpton about the pilot was true, but that was not the objective now. She had to locate all the members on this side of the facility, and seeing as she didnt know how many were on this partcular side, she figured she'd quickly scope out each of the rooms. But hell there were alot. As she walked through the seemingly endless halls of the Research Base, she wondered how a staff of just fifteen people were able to manage and run this place.<br/><br/><i>No wonder their equipment wasent working. They probably have no one here to maintain it properly....which means since im here, im probably going to be tasked with fixing all this shit. ...What a pain.</i>she sighed and thought to herself. She had gone through multiple doors before finding three people working on something in a small laboratory room. Andie was pleased to finally locate some people. ""Hello?"" she said as she knocked on the door. Three heads all looked up at her at the same time, two were male, one was female. ""Sorry to disturb. Second Leutinant Fox here, I have orders from Dr. Jane Pierce to escort you to the Living Area at the entrance of the base. If you would kindly come with me."" she said. She told a lie about the doctor ordering her, just so that they would be compliant and follow her. Which they did. She radioed in then.<br/><br/>""Hummingbird to Hawk, do you copy?"" she waited a few moments then heard his reply.<br/>""Hummingbird this is Hawk, I copy. How many have you located.""<br/>""Three so far."" she responded.<br/>""Well, I have seven on this side, including the unconscious doctor. That means the rest are there with you.""<br/>""Copy that Hawk, im going searching for two more heads then.""<br/>""Copy."" was all he said in return.<br/><br/>She turned to the three scientists. ""Alright, you can follow me please."" She started walking further into the base before she asked, looking over her shoulder. ""Is there anywhere else i could find someone?""<br/><br/>""Whoever is left might be in the Core Lab."" one of the men said. He was an older gentleman, short with a dark beard. ""I could show you were it is."" he suggested. Ande nodded and gave a short thank you before continuing down the hall after him."
21918,The STARLIGHT Incident (Namelessjake and Shadowcatcher),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19053-the-starlight-incident-namelessjake-and-shadowcatcher,['1x1'],2014-03-18 17:15:00,Namelessjake,"Alex followed the Doctor, with Silver close behind. She led them into a room filled with various electronics. The walls were covered with machines and screens, all whirring away, measuring something. The Doctor bent over a computer and pulled up the transmission logs. Alex had hoped for an audio recording but a transcript would do.<br/><br/><Transmission Log><br/>Antarctica 4/5/2017 10:21<br/><Dewitt> Hey Barry, you there?<br/><MacArthur> Oh yeah, how's it going Elliot?<br/><Dewitt> Good, just letting you know we're sending the chopper over with some core samples, our equipment is playing up again.<br/><MacArthur> Right I'll let the lab know. What's it for?<br/><Dewitt> We were drilling and hit a cavern, with something metal in it. Like big. We need to see how old the ice is, but it's definitely around the 10,000 mark.<br/><MacArthur> Weird, you send the camera down there?<br/><Dewitt> Mhm, couldn't see much but what ever it is, it's definitely not natural. No body wants to say it as they'll sound crazy, but extraterrestrial origin is kind of looking probable.... That's why we want to check the core samples, make sure it wasn't just part of another research station that the ice shifted over. I doubt it though.<br/><MacArthur> You serious? That's crazy. Send the chopper over and keep me updated.<br/><br/>Antarctica 4/5/2017 10:41<br/><Dewitt-1> This is Dewitt one, we have... errr... a technical problem and we're losing altitude...<br/><Dewitt> Can you hold it Mike?<br/><Dewitt-1> *Loud noises*<br/><Dewitt> Mike? Mike? Shit, send out a distress call. I think the chopper just crashed.<br/><br/>Alex finished reading the screen and turned to Jane. ""Extraterrestrial, really?"" He said with a hint of skepticism.<br/>""I know it sounds crazy but with all the tests we've run here that does look like the most likely explanation. It's why we wanted to double check over at MacArthur."" She replied.<br/>""That's kind of mindblowing."" Alex said, looking over the transmission logs again. Suddenly there was a beep on another screen. He looked over to it. It was the base's radar display and it was now showing three dots moving towards the base.<i>Likely snowmobiles at that speed.</i>Alex thought. ""How far away is the nearest base on snowmobile?""<br/>""Just over an hour really."" Jane replied, now also looking at the display. ""It's a French base..."" Alex checked his watch. It read 11:32.<br/>""And anyone would have been able to pick up these broadcasts?"" He asked, his mind racing.<br/>""Well yes, we don't encrypt anyth-"" The Doctor began to reply before Alex interrupted her, time was now of the essence.<br/>""I don't think you're alone in thinking that whatever you've found is of alien origin."" He said, making for the door. Things were starting to look like they could get rather messy very quickly. The US and France were on good terms but who knew what countries would do if there really was alien technology beneath the base.<br/><br/>""Everyone, finish what you're doing and get outside as soon as possible."" He radioed to the rest of the squad. ""We have three snowmobiles in bound. ETA ten minutes. There's a possibility we're sitting on top of something a lot of people are going to want for themselves."""
21919,The STARLIGHT Incident (Namelessjake and Shadowcatcher),IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19053-the-starlight-incident-namelessjake-and-shadowcatcher,['1x1'],2014-03-18 18:24:00,Shadowcatcher,"Just as Andie and the three scientists reached the Core Lab, she heard Alex radio in.<br/><br/>""Everyone, finish what you're doing and get outside as soon as possible. We have three snowmobiles in bound. ETA ten minutes. There's a possibility we're sitting on top of something a lot of people are going to want for themselves.""<br/><br/>She didn't bother to reply to it as she sent one of the scientists in to get the other two guys. After a few moments they came out. ""Okay guys, here's the deal. Dr. Pierce wants you all to meet in the Living Area and i need you to come with me. You guys are about to have some company."" She started walking back to the entrance, glancing behind occasionally to make sure they were following her. At one point she saw that the woman looked very nervous. ""As long as you stay with me, i'll protect you, alright? That's my job, and i am very good at it."" she reassured all of them.<br/><br/>Five minutes passed before she found herself back at the entrance. She saw that Hawk had gotten everyone on his side just like he'd said. The rest of the team was gathered there as well. Summit walked over to Andie. ""I hope whoever on their way here ain't looking for a fight. 'Cuz they'll lose."" he said, confident as usual. They all smiled at that. ""Let's hope it wont come to that."" she said, patting his large shoulder. With a grunt he strode away, his heavy boots making a light thumping sound.<br/><br/>""Where is Alex?"" Mother asked then, moving from her place at the unconscious doctor. His other colleagues were huddled around him, all looking worried.<br/>""He's checking out the recent transmission logs."" Silver said, approaching us. Andie was going to say something before she heard the light sound of the approaching snowmobiles."

""Okay, we've got about three minutes now before three snowmobiles get here. We don't have much of a clue who's on them so we're going to use ours for cover."" He said as he walked towards the entrance of the building. ""Even you Mother, I'm sure he'll be fine and I want to make sure we at least outnumber them."" He added when she didn't make to move like the rest of the squad.<br/><br/>Out side the squad's snowmobiles formed an arc around the building's entrance, it would have to do for cover. Alex looked around briefly and noticed a maintenance ladder on the side of the radio tower. ""Hawk, get up there quickly."" He said pointing to the tower, before making his way over to the middle snowmobile and crouching down behind it. He checked his ammo and levelled his gun at where the snowmobiles would enter the base, out of the corner of his eye he saw the rest of the squad doing the same on either side of him. ""Hold fire until I say so. They could be unarmed."" He said as the sound of engines grew louder.<br/><br/>""Two riders on the front vehicle, one on the other two."" Hawk's voice crackled over the radio. With his height advantage he could already see the snow mobiles approaching the base. ""Unarmed civilian clothing."" He continued.<br/>""They could have just received the distress call and came to see if they could do anything to help."" Mother chimed in.<br/>""Perhaps, don't let your guard down though."" Alex said as the snowmobiles came into view.<br/><br/>They slowed down as they pulled into the courtyard area, seemingly not a threat. ""Hands up!"" Alex shouted across the courtyard as the riders dismounted. They seemed somewhat surprised, not having noticed the squad of soldiers aiming at them. They cooperated and Alex stood up, still keeping them in his sights. ""Walk over here, no sudden movements."" He said. As the foursome reached him, Alex lowered his weapon. The rest of the squad would have him covered and he doubted they'd be too friendly if he tried to talk to them while pointing a gun in their faces. ""Who are you?"" He asked, one of the men stepped forward.<br/>""My name is Matthias Deniaud and these are my colleagues."" The man said with a noticeable French accent. ""We're from the French base nearby, we got the distress call and came to see if we could do anything to help.""<br/>""We've got everything under control here."" Alex said, aware something was wrong. Matthias said they had left when they heard the distress call but if Jane had been right about the distance earlier then the French had left about fifteen minutes early.<br/>""I see, we'll head back then. I'm glad everything is okay."" Matthias replied, and the four Frenchmen turned walking back to their snowmobiles. Alex raised his gun again, watching the men walk across the courtyard. They reached the snowmobiles and paused, doing something Alex couldn't quite make out. Then as they began to mount their vehicles Matthias shouted out. ""Maintenant!"" The men dived behind their snowmobiles as one of them tossed something at the squad. There was a bang and everything when white. Alex dropped back into his cover behind the snowmobile as he heard someoneshout. ""Flashbang."" His vision came back as gunfire erupted from behind the other snowmobiles.<br/>""Return fire!"" Alex shouted, firing off a few shots, hoping that the Frenchmen hadn't noticed Hawk on the radio tower."

He had planned on leaving the military at this point, or taking on a training position, however, relations with Iran made a turn for the worse, and resulted in an invasion of Iran. This of course meant that Pete was more or less forced into remaining in the Army, for the time being at least. Serving three tours in Iran, his time there was eventful to say the least, eventful enough that he was noticed by a Delta Force recruiter.

Stolen Ottoman equipment, while present in large numbers in the opening days of the revolution, have since been sold to Poland in an arms-buyback program to trade in for Polish equipment at more favorable prices.<br/><br/>Basic infantry equipment for frontline troops is surprisingly sophisticated, owing to the Armenians' emphasis on soldier protection (to compensate for a smaller population.) A fighting load can consist of a solid-colored battledress uniform with a steel helmet and armor (a ballistic Nylon vest with manganese steel plates) that provide protection to shrapnel (the effectiveness against bullets is highly debatable.) Atop this is a harness-type loadbearing vest, often accompanied by a rucksack (large or small) depending on the mission.<br/><br/>Standard armament consists of a heavier 7.62mm battle-rifle weapon with a smaller 9mm sidearm. The arsenal also maintains designated light/medium machineguns, marksman rifles, shotguns for close quarters battle, submachine guns for MP and urban units, hand grenades, antitank rocket launchers, mines, rifle grenades, and longer-range sniper rifles.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Organization:</span><br/><br/>The Armenian military, being tasked with local areas of operation, is modeled mainly on a geographic basis. Two Corps formations are settled in East and West Armenia, further subdivided into four Divisions that take up a regional space. Regiments comprise the basic unit of Armenian military structure, specializing in specific tasks relevant to their operating environment.<br/><br/>A special exception is the segregated Armenian Foreign Legion which does not act as a geographic force but instead focuses on regimental units comprised of specific ethnic groups to act as front-line shock troops who undertake the most dangerous missions anywhere in the Armenian zones of conflict. This is largely modeled after France's legion.<br/><br/>The smaller structures of the Armenian military follow, more or less, a European continental command and staff structure adopted from the Ottoman military (which in turn was adopted from countries like France in particular.)<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Military Formations:</span><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""I Corps (Eastern Armenia)"" type=""button"">I Corps (Eastern Armenia) [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none""><span class=""bb-i"">1st Regional Division (Artsakh)</span><br/><br/>- 38th Engineer Regiment<br/><br/>- 101st Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 130th Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 156th Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 215th Motorized Regiment<br/><br/>- 300th Artillery Regiment<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">2nd Regional Division (Hayastan)</span><br/><br/>- 40th Paratrooper Regiment<br/><br/>- 92nd Engineer Regiment<br/><br/>- 121st Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 142nd Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 146th Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 237th Motorized Regiment<br/><br/>- 278th Antiaircraft Regiment<br/><br/>- 309th Artillery Regiment<br/><br/>- 313th Armored Regiment<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Armenian Foreign Legion</span><br/><br/>- 11th Foreign Regiment<br/><br/>- 22nd Foreign Regiment<br/><br/>- 33rd Foreign Motorized Regiment</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""II Corps (Western Armenia)"" type=""button"">II Corps (Western Armenia) [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none""><span class=""bb-i"">3rd Regional Division (Trabzon)</span><br/><br/>- 14th Paratrooper Regiment<br/><br/>- 80th Engineer Regiment<br/><br/>- 147th Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 148th Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 200th Motorized Regiment<br/><br/>- 239th Antiaircraft Regiment<br/><br/>- 337th Artillery Regiment<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">4th Regional Division (Erzurum)</span><br/><br/>- 78th Paratrooper Regiment<br/><br/>- 99th Paratrooper Regiment<br/><br/>- 23rd Engineer Regiment<br/><br/>- 167th Infantry Regiment<br/><br/>- 222nd Motorized Regiment<br/><br/>- 272nd Motorized Regiment<br/><br/>- 273rd Motorized Regiment<br/><br/>- 286th Motorized Regiment<br/><br/>- 298th Antiaircraft Regiment<br/><br/>- 350th Artillery Regiment<br/><br/>- 367th Armored Regiment<br/><br/>- 368th Armored Regiment</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">---</div><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Characters:</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Government:</span><br/><br/>- Hasmik Assanian: The President of the Republic of Armenia. A former Ottoman military draftee and defector, he became the principal leader of the Armenian Separatist Front after the Battle of Nor Yerzenka. He oversaw the successful revolution and thoroughly humiliated the Ottoman Turkish occupation forces, earning him a landslide victory in the interim elections of 1977 and then the first formal elections in 1980.<br/>- Serzh Dashnakian: A famed Armenian historian and professor who, after the revolution, became the head proponent and organizer of the Armenian NSS's cryptanalysis section. He is instrumental to the Armenian intelligence scene.<br/>- Jordan Ivakon: The Russian-Armenian Minister of War. During the 1977-1980 interim government, Ivakon was a part of the ""troika"" making decisions in the militarized government. A former ASF commander, he is regarded as harsh yet cunning in his policies and management of the Ministry of War, including giving consent for a secret false flag operation to set the final stages of the conflict in motion.<br/>- Levon Ladaryan: The unorthodox and morally questionable head of the National Security Service. Ladaryan is responsible, for the most part, for the black and grey operations conducted by the NSS during the war. He tends to greenlight whatever he thinks will work, regardless of legality, so long as it is kept silent and efficient.<br/>- Joseph Pollundrian: The American-born Vice President and Assanian's closest friend. He volunteered as a fighter with the ASF in the Nagorno-Karabakh and proved his leadership abilities in the management of the fight in South Armenia. He ran with Assanian in his campaigns as a symbol of solidarity.<br/>- Aram Terzian: A young, bright, idealistic former engineer elected to the director of the National Recovery Administration and tasked with rebuilding the nation. He is one of Assanian's most trusted department heads and a fervent ultranationalist. He is often controversial with the parliamentary conservatives with his Keynesian economics practices.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Military:</span><br/><br/>- Haroud Abbasian: A military officer from the Artaskh. Abbasian began his career as a conscript during the waning year of the ceasefire, and took part in the final three month blitzkrieg across Erzurum. After ending his service, he became bored with civilian life and joined again to become an officer in the newly-formed Armenian Foreign Legion.<br/>- Mikael Gregovyen: Once a decorated war hero, Gregovyen commands an elite special operations force for the Armenian central intelligence service: the NSS Special Actions Unit. He is currently deployed to Georgia, conducting black operations against bandits and dissident insurgents.<br/>- Victor Ohanian: The commander of the military and governmental intelligence staff for President Assanian and a close member of the cabinet. A veteran of countless battles during his service as an Ottoman officer, Ohanian is another instrumental part of the intelligence system in Armenia.<br/>- Hassam Sulayev: An officer in the Armenian Foreign Legion of Yazidi descent. He is one of Abbasian's closest friends and an excellent leader.<br/>- George Yaglian: A border guard who recently ended his tour on the Georgian-Armenian border and was reassigned to supplement existing security forces at Joint Base Sevan Lake. He is an aspiring musician with dreams of making it big playing Armenian-infused jazz with the stars in culturally-rich Sevan.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Civil:</span><br/><br/>- George Vartanesian: The captain of the MV <span class=""bb-i"">Breadwinner of Rize</span>, a commercial vessel part of the Armenian Merchant Marine, and a veteran seaman. Formerly tasked with trading across the Black Sea with Poland, he is now responsible for the first Armenian circumnavigation of the globe in an international show of force.<br/>- Paul Gredakjian: A civil engineer heading the reconstruction efforts in Artashat, the hardest-hit city of the war. He is known for his ingenuity and creativity, even if his efforts often run above budget and over schedule.<br/>- Fatima Abbasian: Lieutenant Haroud Abbasian's mother, a Muslim living in the segregated ghetto of Stepanakert along with her other child (Haroud's sister) Maya. She is a widow, her husband having been killed by Azeri rocket attacks in the Artsakh skirmishes.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">---</div><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Post Catalog:</span><br/><br/>- <a href=""https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063/posts/ic?page=1#post-495900"" rel=""nofollow"">Abbasian returns to Yerevan from the war to victory celebrations, and reunites with his family.</a><br/>- <a href=""https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063/posts/ic?page=1#post-522368"" rel=""nofollow"">Abbasian and his family discuss the Army and return to the victory parade.

Individuals are, there-fore, normally referred to by their proper (i.e. first) name. Both the proper name and the father's name may have two components; thus a name may consist of three or four words. In addition secular or religious titles may be added to one or both names. (See glossary for titles). Many Ethiopian names are, in effect, phrases. Wives do not take their husbands' names.

<div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">History of Hungary</span></div>
Hungary didn't want to be in the Great War, but since they were part of the Austrian - Hungarian Empire they didn't have a choice. They joined the Central Power when the war began, fighting off Serbia and Romania for gaining land within Hungary. Realizing that this war was getting too costly, they protested about the war at the Hofburg Palace with pitchforks, Charles I through that they were going to kill him. So, Charles told the guards to open fire on the protesters and they went outside and fired at the protesters. Twenty people died due to the Charles' choice and it is called, The Hofburg Massassce. After hearing the news, Hungarians rebelled against Austria and fought the military until 1922. Charles I officially surrendered to the Allies after protesters were at his gate and fired at the palace.

After the war, Hungary lost its only sea port at Fiume and the industrial base from its sources of raw materials in The Treaty of Versailles. It caused Hungary's economy to collapse, but some people have hope. A few months later, a revolt happened for which party would be the main one. Protesters choice sides and fought each other until one stool over anyone else. The remaining parties were The Hungarian Socialist Party and The Hungary Parliamentary, calmed the people and held a vote for which is the party that Hungary was going to be. And In 1929, The Parliamentary Party won by sixty-four percent, while Socialist Party lost by forty-six percent, the people were happy with the votes either know some say that the votes were rigged. The President and Prime Minister were voted a year later, Don Csonka and Alfréd Bakó won by sixty-two percent and entered office.

President Don Csonka's first task was to restore the economy, industrialized the nation once more, and help the people out. He is called 'The Greatest President in Hungarian History' for a reason: he pulled the country out of bankruptcy, he gave women rights in 1931, improved factories and farms, child labor was banned, and improvements in the army and air forces were made. During his second term: he increased the value of Hungary's imports, he formed all ten national parks, ten landscape protection areas, and fifty minor nature reserves within four years, he restored eight of the landmarks within Hungary, and improved relations with other countries (most countries on the Allies' side). The people were upset when his terms were up, but he later when to service as Prime Minister and was on the National Assembly until he retired in 1970 at the age of 75. 

When Hungarian was planning to invade Ukraine in '76, they send fake files about Ukraine attacking Poland to trick them. It did work as their relation decreased and Hungary attacked the Ukraine in July. The Hungary army was divided into two main branches, a northern one heading for Lviv and later Kyiv and a southern one aiming for Odessa and Crimea. The southern forces did not get very far due to logistical problems, but the northern branch managed to advance very deep into the Ukrainian territory and captured Lviv, forcing the Polish to act quickly. In a series of aerial and artillery strikes the Hungarian forces near advancing to Lviv were decimated and forced to retreat. Then The Bloodly Nights happened and that ended the war on Poland and Ukraine, on April, 13, 1970. 

After the war, Don Csonka was ashamed for the country's army and ability to fail at capture Ukraine (which they joined Poland). His dying words were that he was ashamed to be Hungarian and died due to natural causes. The President felt ashamed of Don's last words and dropped out of officer in April, 25 and the Prime Minster became President. Adél Bak was the granddaughter of Don Csonka and many believed that she could become like Don, but she has doubts. A few days later, Hungarians celebrate fifty years since Don Csonka entered officer and Adél gave a speech on that day.

Now, the country waits from her first move.

<span class=""bb-b"">History of Brazil:</span>

Brazil, for a long time prior to 1914, had been long rocked by civil wars and rebellions, rapidly switching governments. However, in 1921, a military coup finally solidified Brazil's government. Under more organized control at last, the people were more oppressed, however, their economy also boomed, based off of a large agricultural and lumber industry, which eventually boosted them into more advanced markets such as manufacturing. This sudden rise in power inflated the military council's bureaucracy. As time went on, the military gradually lost control to a group of corporations designated to run the state businesses, but were actually more independent.

In 1925, the military council fought the corporations and their liberal revolt, and the corporations won. They intended to establish complete plutocratic control over the government. However, due to massive public outcry, the corporations separated and a civilian democratic government was formed. Capitalism- and democracy- boomed. Long a trading partner of the US, the Brazilian economy reeled from the major stock market crash of 1929. As a result, it turned its exports to more neighboring countries such as Argentina and Chile, gradually strengthening its relations among its Latin American peers.

During this time, the government had accumulated massive debt to its own people as well as foreign sources of capital, and when another military coup was attempted and the new government tried to default on its debt, there was a massive backlash which returned the government to civilian control.

Into the 1930s, with the growth of the economy and the middle class, corporate power grew, making sure that they would not be easily regulated, and forming trust-like monopolies in some cases. The following decades were mostly peaceful, as Brazil along with most of the South American countries became more isolated from the rest of the world and their conflicts.

Brazil's strengthening of ties with other South American countries lead it to establish Spanish as a second official language. Seeing the rise of communism, the major corporations tried to exert more control over the civilian government. Massive protests erupted over corruption and corporate control, and the corporations backed down. The civilian government gained further control and split many of the monopoly-like corporations as a result of its new-found power. In 1970, there was a major rebellion by those who opposed the closer ties with the rest of Latin America, and that rebellion was eventually stamped out, although there was some significant damage. During this time, however, Brazil paid off many of the debts it had incurred in the earlier part of the century, placing it back on strong economic footing.

Under Sofia Veracruz's presidency from 1968 to 1976, the influence of corporations and economic magnates over the civilian government was finally eradicated. Brazil adopted a much more left-wing economic model, using the profits from the economic growth achieved in the earlier part of the century to invest further without the need for loans. Adriano Claro's presidency further progressed this policy, placing many core industries under government control. Brazil's military forces were rapidly inflated in response to the massive growth of the Communist bloc, with weapons and equipment purchased mostly from Poland and a resurgent Britain. Scientific research has also benefited as a result, with investment in rocket technology beginning. Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is definitely a problem, even though it hasn't yet been seriously considered. Brazil's economy is still rapidly increasing in size and is promoted by developmental policies exerted by the current government, and the population has boomed as well in response.

Brazil participated in limited diplomatic efforts during the late 1970s, fostering ties with the rising Eurasian powers of Ethiopia, Armenia, and the Slavic Union. In particular, trade ties with the Slavic Union have allowed Brazil to modernize its military to some extent to be able to deal with rising threats in both the East and West. Brazil feels a substantial kinship with Ethiopia and Armenia, and as such is committed to helping them and ensuring a positive relationship.

The years preceding the Great War would be spent in a naval arms race with Argentina and eventually Brazil that ended at the onset of the War due to the reality that most manufacturers of vessels were focused on their own fleets.<br/><br/>Neutral in WW1 Chile decided to take position as economic support, however in practice the large German minority in Chile influenced things to the point that almost all business was done with Germany and the Central Powers.  By the end of the Great War Chile had benefited from its exports, particularly the abundant Nitrate deposits that had been vital for decades.  While the end of the war brought about a period of depression profits kept in reserve helped keep the nation afloat in the crisis, though only the elite were able to weather it without worry.  Indeed in 1926 while the elite who largely controlled the parliament gorged themselves on the nations wealth even in rough times an increasingly powerful working class founded a Marxist party that to the surprise of many gained massive popularity among young officers in the military.  Seeing the older military command having been bribed into submission much of the enlisted followed suit.  With the new Marxist party gaining rapid support across the nation and in the military the Chilean parliament was panicked.  Fearful of violent revolution, which many were convinced was going to happen, parliament attempted to bribe Marxist politicians and even the candidate many favoured for president.  In 1928 with these bribed Marxists now in both the parliament and the presidency the old elite felt assured that under false representation the public would be content.<br/><br/>That decision would prove disastrous.  With supposedly docile Marxists in their ranks the old elite continued their normal behaviour for another two years before enough information was gained to signal a coup.  Led by the president that was thought to be a puppet by parliament the coup was rapid and effective, dismantling the old parliament and military command in three days. As a result President Jose Baer set up the first truly Socialist Chilean government in 1930.  A new constitution followed and a sort of Socialist Republic was born after a process in which opinions were gained from most prominent individuals to determine how the nation should be run.  Following elections held immediately after Jose Baer retained the presidency with little contest.<br/><br/>Sweeping reforms would follow through the 1930’s and 40’s that focused on building infrastructure and improving education, the economy, and working conditions.  In this time many candidates would run against the Socialist candidates and gain significant representation.  This balance was generally approved of and kept private interest alive in Chile, though usually under strict government supervision.  Ties were strengthened with neighbouring South American nations regardless of political affiliation but rather on the basis of continental solidarity and exports continued much as they did before the coup, with both local and distant international partners keeping the Chilean economy strong and versatile with and the government alongside private industry trading abroad.<br/><br/>With a reliably strong economy Chile continued to develop in much the same way with huge investments in infrastructure and other amenities gradually changing many impoverished areas for the better.  This state of affairs proved stabilizing and where many other states would see unrest, Chile would remain secure.  However this emphasis on the public would only continue until the 1970’s.  Seeing a strong destabilization of global affairs in the decade along with instability in nearby Brazil which despite historical political differences had remained an ally a public shift led to the election of Luis Sepulveda in 1973.  Leading a campaign based on increased national security Sepulveda brought about a revival of the military purchasing equipment from various international sources and starting numerous programs to expand industrial centers for the arms industry.  In the period Sepulveda brought about little in the form of political change but did place a strong emphasis on South American unity, reinforcing ties with the SAC and looking to local industry before going elsewhere in almost every case.  Re-elected in 1979 Sepulveda presides over a strong Chilean economy with a rejuvenated military, however not all are pleased with his methods and for the first time in decades there are stirrings of instability with many groups stating the expansion of the military risks the degradation of Chilean society. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Military:</span><br/><br/>The Chilean military has historically taken second place to domestic spending however in recent times has experienced sweeping reforms and rearmament.  Focusing on with the navy Chile has sought to command its sector of the Pacific and has refurbished Easter Island with a substantial offshore naval base.  In addition efforts have been made to reequip the air force with a variety of high endurance bomber and fighter aircraft to protect the Chilean coast.  Comparatively army expenditures have been less, but the upgrades have still been significant.  Working to have all soldiers well trained has been the highest priority and new equipment has been gradually coming in to replace an aging base of arms.<br/><br/>POSTS:<br/><br/>1. Underway</div>"

Red sunlight burned through its empty windows like fire, and when it disappeared over the horizon it felt like a chill had taken the air. For the four musicians, it was time to rest.<br/><br/>Yared drove their new ride off of the road. They had found it abandoned on the border of Syria and Armenia, lacking only gas and a driver. It was some military vehicle, thick and olive drab with a solid armored body and the smell of rust about it. It drove rough and sounded rougher, sputtering and choking like something near death, but they kept her moving all the same. There was only a front seat, as long as a sofa but made like a steel bench. In the back, there was nothing but empty space and a cold metal floor, and the red-stained weld marks that bubbled along the wall. They had covered it in blankets to warm it, but a ruffled sheet or a folded edge sometimes exposed the skin to the chilly steel below.<br/><br/>Yared bounced in his seat as they drove over folds in the landscape. His baggy clothes flopped on every bump. He did not look like someone who should be driving this rig. His bushy beard and the small-framed pair of yellow-tinted sunglasses posed playfully on his nose was a far cry from whatever soldier or rebel had sat on this seat before him. His freckled black skin was certainly different then the Turks who had owned this thing before, and even here he wore a contented smile as he drove.<br/><br/>They found a place on the other side of a bald hill and stopped. All the hills were bald here - trees were as rare as people in the Armenian countryside. Instead, a rolling grass plain surrounded them, green except for where it was brown, which was often enough that either color described half of it. In front of them, a long lake stretched on endlessly on either side, but they could see the shore distantly in front of them. Turquoise waters caught the wind and marched across the jeweled surface in gentle lines.<br/><br/>""This should be it, friends."" Yared said. ""We can sleep here for tonight.""<br/><br/>""How far are we from Sevan, brother?"" Marc asked. His voice was hoarse from smoking for the entirety of the last hour. The younger man, he wore baggy clothes in the same way as Yared and had the same dark African skin, but he was clean shaven and had the look of someone who was about to fall asleep.<br/><br/>""It's right over there, brother."" he pointed. A vague orange glow stained the northern sky, hugging the hills next to the lake.<br/><br/>They had heard it from Armenians and Syrians, Palestinians and Greeks. As the Ottoman Empire fell into pieces, Armenia had turned into a sort of temporary leader. There were still grudges and differences that made the relations between individual people run chilly, but the threat of their shared Turkic foe brought them together all the same. Armenia was a place to find weapons and training. Armenia was a place to meet with foreign ambassadors and discuss shared tactics. And in Armenia, Sevan was a place to get drunk and find a whore. The small resort town brought foreign agents and ambassadors just as quick as it did middle eastern rebels, and soon enough expatriates brought exotic foods and exotic ways to accommodate them. There had been a war on the front, but there was party behind it all in Sevan.<br/><br/>And they were a band. They had been fleeing since Cairo, where Barnham had taken Aaliyah's eye. He would have taken more if they hadn't run, and they were still running. The thought of settling down seemed like a dream coming to life, and they were nearly there.<br/><br/>""Samel, brother, are you going to want some of the shit?"" Marc grinned.<br/><br/>Samel. That was still his name here. He had been born Sahle, first son of Emperor Yohannes of Ethiopia. He had been that, and more. When his father died, he had been Emperor for a time, but his brother had overthrown him and assassins had driven him out of his mansion-prison. Now he was Samel, a traveling musician of no accord. He had grown a beard to hide his face, and grown his hair out long for good measure, but somewhere inside he was still Sahle, and nobody could ever know.<br/><br/>Not even her. Aaliyah. He had fallen in love with her in Cairo, and she had lost an eye for it. His dark haired Bedouin beauty. She was hardly five foot tall, but she was thick in the chest and her remaining eyes was as green as its twin had been before Barnham. Even the place she had been wounded was covered with not but a delicate silk bandage. He has caused that maiming, he always felt. He had caused it by suggesting they skim money off the top. But she still loved him, and he only wished that she could know who he was.<br/><br/>""Yeh."" he nodded, ready to hide from his feelings. ""I'm ready for some shit.""<br/><br/>They crawled in the back, all except Yared who seemed to be enjoying the view of the lake. They had mescaline and mushrooms and acid and cannabis. Sometimes Sahle wondered how Marc managed to maintain his stash - he was stoned more than he was sober, yet he still had the wits to find all the drugs he needed to replenish his supply. Sahle never questioned him. He seemed to know what mixed with what, and and he always delivered the feelings Sahle wanted.<br/><br/>Yared turned on the radio. Armenian folksongs. Yared looked at the static-babbling machine as if it had just farted. ""I hope this is not what they expect us to play, friends."" he giggled.<br/><br/>""It sounds like somebody dropped all their grandpas instruments down the stairs."" Marc choked.<br/><br/>""And listen now."" Yared said, ""He is getting yelled at for it.""<br/><br/>Smoke filled the truck, and soon its rusty smell joined with richer scents. Aaliyah had curled into a blanket, and Sahle wrapped himself around her. The world seemed to throb in his vision, and it gave him a headache. He closed his eyes.<br/><br/>The music came to an end, and the strong monotone voice of an old man began to drone in its place.<br/><br/>""This is the news, from the Armenian people and to the Armenian people. The time is twenty two hundred hours.""<br/><br/>Sahle began to drift into sleep, and the newsman's voice accompanied him. At first it played in the back of his mind, like a soundtrack for the night.<br/><br/>""The Turkish Government have claimed that the Greek incursions on their lands on the Aegean coast of Anatolia is an illegal breech of their sovereignty. Meanwhile, the Turks have yet to reclaim the capital city of Istanbul, which remains in the hands of the civilian coup which took control of the city after the death of Suleiman the third was first reported.""<br/><br/>And then the voice started to fade. Sentences fell apart, and a dream took over.<br/><br/>""At twelve hundred hours today, Turkish officials confirmed...""<br/><br/>He dreamt of an ancient city crumbling into ruin. In front of him, an towering domed church painted in rusty pinks cast a shadow and bells rang. A man in flowing white robes and a great red turban stood in front of it, jewels flowing from his wrists and neck and a twice-pronged cross on his brow. Blood and semen gushed from an invisible wound in his chest, and it was all gone.<br/><br/>""the third is dead. It is official as of ten hours ago...""<br/><br/>And then the voice ceased, and all that was there was the dream, and it kept going.<br/><br/>A man with sharp features and hair as black as coal sat atop a throne of disembodied hands black with rot. His suit and face alike were covered in a thing layer of white dust, and he laughed hysterically until one of the putrid hands grabbed his ankle and caused him to scream. Into smoke, he and his grisly chair were gone.<br/><br/>In their place, one thousand banners danced against each other to a visceral drumbeat, catching fire from an invisible torch and burning up like matchsticks until there was only one, and its pole was tipped with a spearhead. In a moment, it was gone as well.<br/><br/>An elderly Asian man sat in a simple canvas chair, his palm pressed against his forehead. He was surrounded by younger men of his race, and they bickered amongst themselves while he remained quiet. When everything around them caught fire, his comrades did not seem to notice, but he did, and he looked defeated. The smoke swallowed them and they disappeared.<br/><br/>A faceless army marched across fields and left mud behind them. In front of them, a bearded eagle proudly carried a land deed and shoved it in the face of a rabid bear. The bear roared and they vanished in a puff.<br/><br/>Fainter dreams followed. It felt as if he were looking at something he was not supposed to see. An alligator was smothered by a red flag, and the sea drowned a young wasp nearby, washing it all away. In its place, he saw a jungle that stretched from coast to coast. It began to wither and die until there was only a patch left on the eastern shore, and then it was gone. A man in chains offered his hand to a king, but the king spurned him and shook hands with the mans master instead.<br/><br/>When he awoke, the radio had turned back to folk music. Yared had fallen asleep in the front, and his head was draped uncomfortably over the top. In the corner, Marc was hugging a long pipe, and its thin glow was the only light in the compartment. Night had brought the cold, and tousled blankets had left patches of the cold steel floor exposed to his skin. He shivered and sat up, then realized Aaliyah was not there.<br/><br/>Rubbing sleep from his eyes, he opened the back hatch. The unoiled hinges cried and scraped as the hatch swung open, and Sahle leapt to the ground. His bare feet felt the cool ground and scratchy half-green grass between his toes. There was a strong breeze, and it carried the wet sounds of the lake with it. By now, the moon had taken the sky, and the blackness was filled with infinite stars.<br/><br/>He saw her at the crest of the hill, staring out across the water. The wind caught her hair, and the fringes of the white dress she had wore ever since Bethlehem. He walked up to her and pressed himself against her shoulders.<br/><br/>""We should be sleeping."" he said.<br/><br/>She was silent for a moment, leaning into him but saying nothing. He could feel her warmth, and it was his favorite thing in the moment.<br/><br/>""It is over there."" she said, pointing out across the lake. ""What we have been wanting.""<br/><br/>The orange glow seemed close, only kept from them by the rising Armenian hills. They had nearly went there that night, but Yared had talked them out of it. ""Do you want to go to a crime town in the dark, brother? Lets get there when there is some light so we can see before we get stabbed."" His reason had won them over.<br/><br/>""I wonder what they have."" she said softly.<br/><br/>He kissed her neck. ""A job and a room."" he said, ""We can live together this time. In the same place, in the same bed...""<br/><br/>""It will be different this time?"" she asked hopefully.<br/><br/>He smiled. ""It will be different this time."""
21961,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-03-15 17:48:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Novosibirsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>The guttural rumble of diesel engines purred in the April afternoon. Melting snow that blanketed the ground pooled in the middle of the yard, soaking into the grass to form a thick mud. In the distance, the dull gray high-rises of Novosibirsk loomed over the naked trees and warming Siberian landscape under a clear sky.<br/><br/>Accompanying the purr of heavy engines, over head planes flew west-ward. Large wings of propellers cutting west. From their wings the markings of China or Russia flew on the side, faint from the distance. And as they flew over head a young man sloshed through the snow muck, a heavy coat wrapped around him as he staggered for balance. The thick grime that was clay sucked down on his feet as he slipped through the cold earth passed the woken metal beasts that were tanks.<br/><br/>The young man looked on at the grumbling iron coffins. His pale round face bent up in frustration and anxiety as he wound through the crews bustling between points; loading in their mission's allowance of shells. His coat's sleeve embroidered with the red star of China, an already muddied assault rifle – the CP1960 – slung over his shoulder. A knit cap hid his short hair and a heavy back pack wore down on his wide shoulders. He staggered through, keeled over like a troll as he pulled his weight through the thick stirred up mud.<br/><br/>“Have you fucking seen this shit!” a man bellowed over the engines. Three boxes worth of ammunition cradled in his arms as he sludge through the mud. His legs had become so caked with dirt they were a solid brown, and much of it had already splashed up to his tank top, “How the fuck do they expect us to start moving out in this?”<br/><br/>“Excuse me, comrade!” the young soldier yelled out. The man carrying the ammo stopped and shot the newcomer with a sharp angry look.<br/><br/>“What?” he glowered sourly, “What the fuck do you want?”<br/><br/>“I'm looking to the Q-41I crew...” the soldier started hesitantly, “Where are they set up?”<br/><br/>Scowling the man swore under his breath. “Juunshi, sir,” he started, turning to a coated man atop the block- built turret of a nearby tank. The officer turned around, looking down with a glazed indifferent expression, “Where's the Q-41I crew at?”<br/><br/>“Sun Song's tiger?” the sergeant asked.<br/><br/>“I suppose so, we got a wet dog looking for him.” the soldier grumbled, nodding his hand to the anxious young soldier.<br/><br/>The officer looked down on his, his eyes lit up with realization as he gazed down on him. “So we do.” he muttered, “Juunshi Sun Song is in the front most row.” he yelled down, “You're in the fifth row back.”<br/><br/>“Front most row...” the young soldier muttered under his breath, barely audible to himself over the song of purring motors. Then it dawned on him and his face went pale. His expression went numb. The crewman and his commander must have noticed, the sound of their laughing was audible over the monsters they had tamed.<br/><br/>“You get to see the action before us!” roared the sergeant, “What's your name?”<br/><br/>“Li Tsung, sir.” he replied with a distant gaze.<br/><br/>“I'll be sure to remember it.” the sergeant laughed.<br/><br/>“And be sure to put a boot through Tse Lin's cunt when we're done.” the crewman barked with a grin, “Bitch owes this crew a few confirmed hits on something at least. We fucking know she stole our HE rounds last week!”<br/><br/>Tsung felt lost as he turned from the snickering crew as he passed between them and their neighbor's treads. His head felt light, and the knowledge he was up front loomed over him heavily. It made each rise and fall of his feet heavier. He had heard the rumors things were beginning again, but that he wouldn't be up and front in it. His eyes turned up to the distance were he gazed ahead through the ranks of idling tanks.<br/><br/>Tsung wound his way through the rows, stepping out into the midst of the first ranks. Off in the distance no doubt stood the Republic. Aircraft over-head still bellowed out to it. Tsung stared emptily in that direction, knowing what was to come. His head still felt lost and cloudy. The revelation of action now, or the next day had hit him with the weight of a fully loaded crate of bricks. It still left a bruise.<br/><br/>“Comrade!” a voice shouted out, breaking Tsung from his daze, “Are you lost?”<br/><br/>Tsung turned stiffly in the muddied snow to come face-to-face with another officer. He loomed over him by a full head. His full coat and the single echelon on his shoulder showed him to be an officer. Deep set, dark eyes looked down on Tsung. He frowned unappealingly at him as he drew from a worn and well-smoked cigarette.<br/><br/>“Are you lost, comrade?” he asked again, “You looked confused.”<br/><br/>“Oh. Oh!” Tsung jumped, coming back to Earth, “I'm looking for Sun Song. Q-41I?”<br/><br/>“You look at him.” the officer smirked, “Li Tsung then?”<br/><br/>“Y-yeah...” he stammered.<br/><br/>“Excellent!” he laughed, clapping and smiling enthusiastically around his cigarette, “I was wondering when we were going to get my new driver.”<br/><br/>“Y-yeah.” Tsung choked nervously. Sung put a gentle hand on the young man's shoulder as he lead him towards his vehicle. A machine that looked no different from any other machine alongside it. Down to the low-cut plow blade being fixed to its front.<br/><br/>“Where did your papers say you were from again?” Sung asked genially. “Changji? Read in the transfer notices I got that you were a driver in the 2nd Mongolian armored division. What brings someone like you further north?”<br/><br/>“I-ironically I was hoping for warmer weather.” Tsung stammered nervously, Sung's arm on his shoulder felt uncomfortable, and he hoped he'd let up when they stopped by his tank. A man sat perched on the turret, watching the two.<br/><br/>“Well you certainly came in when it's hot.” Sung grumbled, “I keep getting notices we'll be moving out the next day. Then we're moving the day after. We're being kept on alert, I haven't heard a quiet night now in a week.”<br/><br/>“So it's happening then?”<br/><br/>“Part two is happening!” Sung cheered, stopping as they came to the side of the tank. To Tsung's relief he lowered his hand and he climbed up on top. “So say hello to your new family.” he said with a smile, hands held out.<br/><br/>“And by extension the two other crews alongside of us.” a scruffy, wide built man said from the top of the turret. He looked up and down Tsung with a dead stare. Not particularly interested, “This kid's green, is he really replacing Little Brother?”<br/><br/>“He is.” Sung nodded, is enthusiasm died on his tongue, “But his shoes shouldn't be too big to fill.”<br/><br/>“Dumb ass.” the other grumbled.<br/><br/>“Excuse me, but what's going on?” Tsung asked nervously, uncomfortably hoisting his pack higher up.<br/><br/>“Your predecessor took a spill on some ice and broke his ass.” the large figure chuckled, “You're not going to break your ass, are you?”<br/><br/>“I-I should hope not.”<br/><br/>“Good enough.” he said, taking a bow from where he sat he added, “Wi Hui.” he introduced himself, “Loader.”<br/><br/>“Li Tsung, driver I guess.” Tsung said nervously.<br/><br/>“Tse Lin's around here shining her shoes.” Hui said, “Where are you!?”<br/><br/>“Damn it, I'm down here!” a woman's voice shot out, “What is it?”<br/><br/>“Come meet our new little brother.” Hui said. From the far-side of the tank a woman stood up. The hair shaved back along her head gave her an eerily masculine apperance.<br/><br/>She gave Tsung a look over, before smiling, “Damn, he is little!” she laughed."
21962,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-03-16 04:04:00,gorgenmast,"<b>Madrid, Spain</b><br/><br/>A fluttering mass of cooing pigeons swarmed about the wrinkled mass of gray fabric that blanketed the newest of the capital's numerous landmarks and monuments.<i>Plaza Republicana</i>, the tree-lined park that surrounded the heart of Spain's capitol - the Halls of the Republic - played host to a reasonably-sized crowd that had come to witness the unveiling of the monument today on the second of May. This was a minor holiday within Spain:<i> El Dia de la Abdicacion</i>; twenty-five years ago today, Juan III - the ultimate king of Spain - renounced his crown, and the Second Spanish Republic had been born. On this quadranscentennial of the abolition of the Spanish monarchy, it had been decided that a monument dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Republic was to be erected in celebration.<br/><br/>Just over a thousand people - many of them journalists armed with cameras affixed with bulky lenses - formed a wide arc around the concrete pedestal nestled within the loosely-wooded park. Morning dove and pigeon coos mingled with the dull roar of onlookers as they awaited the unveiling. The sculptor fidgeted anxiously at the foot of his creation as he and the rest of the crowd awaited the arrival of an important guest before the unveiling could begin.<br/><br/>The clicking and flashing of reporter cameras joined by polite applause from the crowd heralded the arrival of that guest of honor. Coming down the winding pathway paved from the Halls of the Republic came Alfonso Sotelo: Prime Minister of the Spanish Republic. A small suit tailored for a wearer with a small frame was pressed immaculately to his breast, but even so it seemed the suit fit him rather loosely - as if he had lost weight since he had been fitted for the outfit. A face characterized by an angular jaw, protruding cheekbones, and a sharp, jutting nose sat atop his shoulders. Within sunken sockets, predatory grey eyes flitted about his surroundings: to the gathering of spectators he approached, and back momentarily to the four hulking bodyguards walking in tandem at his side. As Sotelo drew nearer to the crowd - within range of the cameras - his face wrung itself into a polite smile as he approached the cloth-draped monument.<br/><br/>The Prime Minister craned his neck up to the top of the curtained object. Though the finer details had obviously been obscured in wait for the unveiling, the height and the size could roughly be discerned; and it was quite large indeed. The top of the draped cloth ended in a wrinkled lump about 10 meters above a plaque-adorned dais of granite. There, in front of said plaque, Alfonso Sotelo met the sculptor responsible for the project and grasped his extended hand within his own. His palms were rough and calloused as one would expect of a man who worked with his hands. They felt abrasive and uncomfortable against Sotelo's bony digits and he was quick to release from the handshake.<br/><br/>""<i>Senor</i>Mescalero, I have been quite curious to see what you have so busy putting together on the grounds for these past four months.""<br/><br/>""It will have been worth the wait, Excellency."" The artist attested confidently with a knowing smile.. ""I think you will be quite surprised - and pleased - with the results.""<br/><br/>""Excellent."" Sotelo began, clearing his throat briefly before addressing the audience; camera lamps flashing incessantly upon Sotelo and the sculptor as he did.<br/><br/>""My fellow men and women of the Republic. It was this day, a quarter century ago, that our nation was ushered into this world through the exhortations of a people - a nation united against the disgraceful and decadent rule of the Borboun dynasty that had sapped the terrifying potential of this nation and led it to ruin. It was on this day, twenty-five years ago, that Spain as a whole had decided that its destiny was greater than servitude under ambitionless monarchs. On this day,<i>el dos de mayo</i>, 1955, we left three hundred years of misrule and decay in history and carved a brave path into the glorious future upon whose cusp we now stand.<br/><br/>Men and women of this great republic, look back but a single generation and see how far this nation has come. While the rest of the world sank into violence and decay, or fell under the iron fist of our communist adversary in the Orient - this republic stood as a bastion of stability and prosperity. Spain stands now as the example for all civilized people of the world, when just twenty-five years ago this nation was an embarrassment among them. As such, it is with utmost pride that I allow<i>Senor</i>Arturo Mescalero, the man who assembled this artwork for which we gathered today to see unveiled, to do exactly that."" With open hands, Sotelo gestured to the sculptor.<br/><br/>""I couldn't, Excellency. The honor must be yours.""<br/><br/>""Fair enough."" The Prime Minister nodded, grabbing a wad of the curtain draped over the monument in both fists. ""And so it is my honor to present to you this monument built to celebrate this great day!"" With that, Sotelo tore the plain fabric off and let it fall to the pavement in a billowing curtain.<br/><br/>It was him.<br/><br/>Standing before Alfonso Sotelo was a giant bronze statue of himself. But disconcertingly to the Prime Minister, he was joined upon the dais by the likeness of Miguel Tejero. Miguel Tejero - the man that had served as Spain's Prime Minister for sixteen of the 25 years of the republic, the man who had built the Second Republic without precedent, the man that Sotelo had ordered murdered in cold blood four years ago. In the hand of the bronze likeness of Spain's longest serving and most beloved Prime Minister, the crown of the Bourbon dynasty lingered lopsidedly in his fingers, as if he were ready to drop it to the ground like a piece of filth. The giant bronze Sotelo smiled warmly at the crown without a king to bear it.<br/><br/>Sotelo stood silently with the wadded curtains still bunched within his hands, staring wide-eyed at the bronze Tejero. He had been dumbstruck by the statue - perhaps even mortified - and the crowd had noticed. Songbirds chirped in the uncomfortable silence where cordial applause should have sounded.<br/><br/>""Excellency."" The sculptor whispered nervously. ""Do you like it?""<br/><br/>Sotelo's head twitched briefly as he galvanized himself from the terror of seeing the dead man's face yet again. Quickly, Prime Minister Sotelo calculated the appropriate response, and his insincere smile returned to his face.<br/><br/>""It is brilliant!"" Sotelo exclaimed, clapping his hands together to prompt the onlookers to do the same. With the silence interrupted, the newcomers followed Sotelo's example and joined him in a reassuring applaused. ""Truly, a masterpiece for the people of Madrid and their posterity to cherish forever."""
21963,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-03-16 20:03:00,TheEvanCat,"<b>Yerevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>The cheering crowds were unlike anything that Corporal Haroud Abbasian had ever seen before. Ticker tape fluttered from buildings vaguely like a snowstorm, while a parade marched down the street. Armenian flags hung from windows, streamers decorated every lamppost. The date was April 24th, 1980: Victory Day. Abbasian remembered it all, beginning from the moment he stepped off the sturdy ramp of the Polish-made cargo plane at Zvartnots International Airport early that morning. Military policemen - reservists, mostly - stood by idly while civilians crammed the tarmac to find their loved ones. Tears of joy seemed to flood the airport as more planes arrived on the far runway, bringing with them more and more troops. Elsewhere in the city, train stations brought back more men from the front to equally-sized crowds of friends and family. A band played patriotic music composed for the event, while several important general officers waded into the crowd to shake hands with their peons. Camera crews from every news outlet in the nation were there, and there was even a television camera pointed right at the plane. Abbasian had never even seen a television before, much less appeared on the airwaves. He waved a sheepish hello to the cameraman as he walked briskly by, unsure of what to do with himself.<br/><br/>Abbasian clutched his duffel bag and watched his friends run to their children and loved ones. They shook his hand and patted his back as they walked by, and he did the same. A young Private in his company approached, carrying a goat off of the plane. The goat was fitted with a cutesy little uniform made from a dyed sack, with a peaked cap perched atop his diminutive horns. On his uniform were several rows of ribbons and medals pilfered from some personnel office's award storeroom, giving the appearance of a distinguished officer. The goat's name was Herbert - company mascot for Abbasian's artillery unit -, and an embroidered nametape requisitioned by the troops was stuck alongside the ribbons while the regimental logo was sown to the sleeve of his forelegs. Abbasian's smile grew wider as a group of young men went in to pet the animal and feed it little scraps of food from their pockets. The Private - an incredibly tall sixteen year old boy who had lied about his age to join, and was therefore the youngest in the Regiment - was voted to keep him. Herbert would go back to the boy's farm to be with the other goats and become the undisputed champion of whatever ranch he was put in. Herbert would be with the pride of having participated in the Armenian War for the rest of his life, if only because a bored and slightly drunk optics calibration expert put a helmet on him and strapped a gun to his back to replace the company's dog that had run out and stepped on an antipersonnel mine.<br/><br/>After he had fought through the crowd of elderly grandmothers waiting for their sons and grandsons to appear from the mass of jubilant people at the airport's tarmac, Abbasian managed to crawl through a window - the door was blocked by the sheer volume of spectators - to find the adjutant who would let him go for the weekend. Luckily, Victory Day fell on a Friday - not that he expected to have a job in the military for much longer, since his conscription contract was almost up. This gave plenty of time for celebratory drinking and whoring on Saturday, after a nice lunch with his mother and sister. Wandering through the halls dazedly for five minutes, Abbasian turned a corner and swung his duffel bag straight into the face of a WAC holding a stack of leave paperwork that was almost a foot tall. She stumbled backwards from the impact, barely keeping hold of her forms while Abbasian rushed to see if she was alright. ""Sorry, ma'am!"" he cried, seeing the Sergeant stripes on her sleeve. ""I'm looking for the adjutant!""<br/><br/>""I'm the adjutant's adjutant,"" explained the WAC as she brushed strands of her black hair back behind her hairband. ""So basically I fill out all the shit that he's too busy to do. And you just smacked me in the face, Corporal.""<br/><br/>""Sorry... Eh, that was an accident.""<br/><br/>""Fine. Looking to get off the hook for the weekend?"" she asked duly.<br/><br/>""Yeah. Got my paperwo-""<br/><br/>The personnel Sergeant snatched the folder out of his hands and put it on top of the file. ""Abbasian, Haroud K. - Corporal, Armenian Army,"" she read off of the header. ""Go and enjoy your weekend while I spend mine signing off on your fucking leave requests. I don't even give a shit: we just won the war.""<br/><br/>""You got it!"" exclaimed a jubilant Abbasian, springing off of the ground. The WAC eyed him suspiciously as he sprinted off to find another window to jump out of. He was free at last - the previous time he had been on leave was almost nine months ago after artillery school. Now he was free to enjoy the fruits of civilization. But first, his family awaited.<br/><br/>Unable to find exits on the first floor, Abbasian had ran up the stairs to find an open window letting in the new spring breeze. Checking first to make sure that it was safe - a bush at the bottom would break his fall -, the Corporal straddled the windowsill and swung his legs out to fall face-first into a shrubbery. Rolling out of the bush with only mild cuts and scrapes, Abbasian tore off through the airport's terminal's garden to go to the main building and find his mother and sister. They had promised to be at Zvartnots for his return and were probably anxiously awaiting. Scaling a wall to the airport's courtyard, he attracted the view of a security guard who evidently thought nothing of it. Abbasian smiled, flashed a thumbs-up to the guard who did the same. Then he ran off into the building's waiting room, which was also packed with people. They held flags, posters, and pieces of cardboard with the names of soldiers. Abbasian scanned the crowd - an easy task, owing to his height - to find one that had his name on it. Unfortunately, it had seemed that his mother hadn't thought to do that. Without any indication of where his family may be, Abbasian seemed content to wander around and hope that he bumped into them. Fifteen minutes later, he heard a familiar voice shout: ""Haroud! There you are!""<br/><br/>Abbasian turned to face his mother running through the crowd with flowers and a box of candies, his twelve-year-old sister tagging along. The son grinned wildly at the sight of his mother trying to run in her ankle-length skirt, the loose ends of her hijab fluttering about. She almost plowed into Abbasian, tossing the box to his sister to give him a bone-crushing bear hug that seemed to be outside the realm of possibility for such a frail woman. ""Oh, Haroud!"" she cooed, ""I missed you so much!""<br/><br/>""Thanks, mother,"" Abbasian replied, returning the hug. ""I missed you guys, too.""<br/><br/>""How was the war?"" chimed in Abbasian's sister, looking up at him with her piercing blue eyes.<br/><br/>""The war was fine,"" Abbasian shrugged. ""I mostly just sat and watched stuff blow up.""<br/><br/>""Cool! Did you shoot things?""<br/><br/>""No, no,"" laughed Assanian, even if that was kind of a lie. ""I'll tell you all about it later.""<br/><br/>His mother smiled and gave him the box of candy: ""I was saving it for when you got back.""<br/><br/>Abbasian took the box and shifted the duffel bag off onto one arm. He opened the top and stuffed the box inside, right over his spare battledress. ""It's cool that they didn't give me a dress uniform,"" he noted. ""I can fit so much stuff in here without that frilly crap.""<br/><br/>""Now that you're home you might have to spend all your time in a service uniform,"" his mother noted. She began to walk towards the exit while Abbasian followed her. ""When your uncle worked as a... what is it called? Deals with people?""<br/><br/>""Personnel staff member,"" the son corrected.<br/><br/>""Yes. One of those. Well, he wore his fancy uniform all the time. Not like what you have now."" She gestured to his battledress, sleeves rolled up and shirt open one button past the technical regulation, showing the worn telnyashka underneath.<br/><br/>""This is comfortable though. It feels like pajamas,"" contended Abbasian, pushing the door open for his mother.<br/><br/>""So you ran around in the desert for nine months wearing pajamas?"" asked his mother.<br/><br/>""Pretty much.""<br/><br/>""Oh! When did war loose its charm! I remember hearing my grandfather talk about his grand old experiences with uniforms back when he served,"" his mother said nostalgically.<br/><br/>""I assume they got rid of them when people wanted to be comfortable,"" perceived the son. He held open the second set of doors, and they had reached the boulevard leading to the roundabout and parking at the front of the airport. ""Is this all new?"" he exclaimed. ""When I flew out last time I didn't see this.""<br/><br/>""Apparently so, yes. It's marvelous,"" his mother agreed.<br/><br/>""Oh well. Let's get ready for lunch. I'll hail a taxi,"" Abbasian said before gazing around to see if any were free. One was, and he went to go flag it down for his mother. Like with the rest of the soldiers, it felt good to finally be home.<br/><br/><b>Yerevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>Elsewhere in the city, President Hasmik Assanian celebrated initially with his cabinet. Drinking from the seemingly indepletable reserve of alcohol from his desk, they recounted various stories with laughs and smiles. Joseph Pollundrian told them about how he had once caught the janitor having sex with the maid in the closet, encouraging uproarious laughter from the various ministers. Jordan Ivakon recounted how he had seen a soldier trip, fall, and roll down a steep hill during an exercise that he was attending. The dizzy soldier had started projectile vomiting in the direction of his squad leader. Assanian remembered a particularly slapstick event that he watched from the window of his office where an elderly woman smacked down a would-be thief with her handbag. Toasts were all around, to any number of things. To Armenia, to the Armenians; to the Persians, the Poles; and to their fine military. For now, it was time for joyousness. The Ottomans had collapsed, and they had won. Now was the time to focus on nationbuilding instead of simple security. Now was the time to truly expand.<br/><br/>The morning drinking eventually wound down after a few cabinet members scurried off to attend to their own affairs. By noon, only Assanian, Pollundrian, and Ivakon remained sipping cognac from glass bottles that seemed to come from nowhere. Ivakon puffed on a cigar in between shots. Outside the closed shutters of Assanian's window, crowds were gathering in Republican Square below. They chanted ""Hayestan!"" - Armenia - over and over, whistling and screaming. Cars drove by with men waving flags from the window, honking at the crowds as they went. People kissed under flags, posing in hope that the newspapers would recognize them and shoot a memorable photograph that would go in the history books. Assanian was to make a speech soon, which he had totally neglected until the previous day when he woke up and realized that it was something that needed to get done. On his desk was the first and final draft: just like how he used to write school papers. At least victory speeches were easy, because all he had to do was praise Armenia and its hardworking, industrious people. They had fought the just fight that the Armenians would inevitably win. The parade would be kicked off by the speech, which was to be broadcasted across the radio and rare television channels, and was one of the single most important speeches that he had ever done. But as he drank another shot of the alcohol, he didn't worry at all. It was standard fare to do these a little bit drunk.<br/><br/>Rising from his chair, Hasmik Assanian tossed the bottle away. It landed expertly with a clatter in the wastebin next to his desk: an ordinary accomplishment for a professional drinker like he. Bidding farewell to his Defense Minister and urging Pollundrian to follow, Assanian snatched up his papers and burst through his office's double-door. His next stop: the speech podium that faced Republican Square. There, a crowd had gathered to await the President's speech. Already, the parade was forming - a fantastical thing that was kept a surprise even from Assanian himself, even if the organizer assured him that it would be perfect. These were good for the country's spirit. At long last, they had something to be proud of. They had a state, free from control. They had defeated the enemy that was bent on total extermination. They had kicked it down and made sure that it wouldn't come back to hurt them again. They were the child getting revenge on the schoolyard bully, freeing the rest of the class from his wrath as well. Times were finally looking up for the small country of seven million people. The future was bright: the sky the limit. Safe from immediate danger, Assanian was confident that the Armenians would secure their permanent place in the world."

He didn't look at all bleak. In fact, he looked...chipper. Happy, one might say. In a serious way. He wore a suit similar to that of a European businessmen, complete with tie and black jacket. His hair was cut short and combed neatly. A pair of round glasses were balanced on his nose. He was clean cut, a feat almost unheard of in this city, as razors were in short supply. A large suitcase was held under one arm, while the other arm was dropped to his side, the hand in a pocket. Even his shoes, polished black, looked out of place. This man wasn't supposed to be in the city. This man was Zagreb Esadze, known by most under the alias Pikey. He looked the exact opposite of a pikey but that was why the name suited him. He was the opposite of the city around him.<br/><br/>Zagreb stopped in front of one house and squinted. It was identical to every house on the street. Broken, covered in boards and overgrown. The front gate lay in the long grass, leaving the small path to the door clear. Zagreb smiled. He was where he needed to be. He followed the path to the front door and without hesitation, knocked on one of the boards. The door opened almost immediately. The boards were an illusion, not nailed to the door frame at all. An Azeri peered out of the crack of the door. He was a younger man, probably no older than 25. Recognition lit to his face and he usered Zagreb into the house. The door was shut quickly behind him, clicking slightly. The street was once again silent and empty.<br/><br/>'Pikey. Good to see you, friend. Were your travels well?' whispered the young Azeri, a smile creasing his brown face. 'They were' answered Zagreb shortly. He did not recognise this lad but suspected he was a new recruit to the Guard. All the same, one doesn't reveal all their secrets to a guard. 'Good, good. Davit and my father are in the kitchen. I suspect you'll want to speak to them. Good luck, my friend'. Pikey nodded. He realised who this lad was now. A son of Elchin, an Azeri officer in the Guard.<br/><br/>The hall was dark. The floor was concrete, the floor having been ripped up. Stair led to an upper floor to his right and to his left, a closed door. It most likely led into a living room. At the end of the small hall, a door lay shut. The walls were bare. A small stool sat propped against the wall. A rifle sat beside, a chilling reminder that what happened in this building was punishable by death. Zagreb opened the door and was flooded with the warm feeling of recognition. This was the Guards base and had been for the last two years. It was a place some could call home.<br/><br/>It had once been a dining room-kitchen. The floor was black stone and the walls were bare. A faux-marble work top hugged the kitchen walls and small windows let light into the dark room. An island sat in the middle of the floor, surrounded by a random assortment of chairs and stools. A boarded up door led to the small backgarden. The room smelt strongly of cigarette smoke, sweat and alcohol. Unwashed plates and dirty cups and bottles were piled next to a rusty sink that was attached into the work top. The island was covered by a large map of Georgia, with all the major cities and regions drawn out. A long shotgun sat atop of it along with a small pile of shells next to it. The room was dark, the only slivers of light coming from the windows. In the darkness, Pikey/Zagreb could see a short, fat man leaned over the map, writing furiously with a pencil. A sliver of light illuminated his writing space. The man glanced up at Zagreb and smiled. The pencil was dropped and the man jumped from his stool.<br/><br/>'Zagreb! How are you, my friend? How is Poti this time of year?' he smiled. He grabbed the tall man around the middle in a hearty hug. An overpowering smell of vodka crept into Zagreb's nostrils, seemingly burning his nose hairs. Zagreb placed an arm on the small, dirty man's shoulder as a way of friendship. 'Good, good. Poti smells better than Batumi any day' he smiled. The fat man let out a hearty laugh, from deep inside his thick chest. 'Pull a chair up. We must discuss your travels under a bottle of vodka' the man busied himself around the worktop as Zagreb sat down. 'I'd quite like to tell my travels under some light too' he murmured to himself. The fat man heard him and opened the blind to the dirty kitchen. The backgarden was as bad as the front. Over the backgarden wall, the broken blocks of flats could be clearly seen, right down to every broken window. He blinked furiously in the sunlight as he set about pouring out three vodka glasses. The years had not been good the leader of the Guards. He had grown fat and pale from spending much time inside. His beard was now fully grey and the little hair head left was lank and greasy. He wore a stained white vest, dark coloured trousers and a pair of slippers. This man was the leader of the Georgian Guard, Davit Patarava. And despite how he might of looked to outsiders, Davit was a hero, a genius and a friendly man, if a bit quiet sometimes.<br/><br/>He dropped a glass next to Zagreb and sat opposite to him. He took a long gulp from his glass. Zagreb didn't touch his. 'I would offer Elchin a glass but he is going through a 'spiritual phase' or something' he acknowledged the Azeri collapsed out on the floor, fast asleep. The Azeri had grown his dark beard long and knotted, unkempt. Zagreb felt disgusted as he looked at Elchin. This was the man who was to lead their forces into battle. A 'devout' Muslim who had lived in Batumi his entire life who was usually found drunk, eating pork or beating the Jesus out of people who annoyed him. Zagreb hated the bastard.<br/><br/>'Zagreb' Davit was serious now. 'Tell me everything about Poti'. Zagreb's eyes were torn away from the drunken Azeri on the ground and to the eyes of Davit. 'First, I want to show you something' he answered. He lifted the heavy suitcase to the table and clicked it open. It was completely empty. He felt the sides of the suitcase and his fingers came across what he was looking for. He pressed the button and a click was followed by the bottom opening. It was a secret compartment, hidden within the bottom of the case. Davit watched patiently as Zagreb shifted through papers. He shuffled the papers into a messy pile and dropped them next to the case. Underneath, moulded perfectly into the velvet of the suitcase, was a weapon the Guard had never used before.<br/><br/><a href=""http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/K19_Battle_Rifle"">An Armenian K19 Battle Rifle.</a><br/><br/>Zagreb lifted the rifle from it's secret compartment and held it to the light. Davit looked impressed. 'Well. What is that?' smiled Davit, knowing perfectly well what is was. 'Found it in Poti. Could of brought a few cases of ammo with me but they were too heavy, so I just brought a few clips.' The tall Georgian grabbed dropped a few clips of ammo onto the table. He handed the rifle to Davit, who balanced it in his hands and tested it weight. 'Bleeding Armenian's are invading bastards. But they make some nice guns' he murmured. 'Do you think we could get a few more of these?' Zagreb shrugged. 'Perhaps. I just found this in some shop in Poti for 5 lira. The keeper said he 'borrowed' it from one of the Armenian stragglers a few months back. I think the Poti Defence Force, the militia over there, is using them now'. Davit looked impressed and placed the gun onto the table. 'Tell me more about the political landscape in Poti' he asked. Zagreb closed his case and dropped it beside his feet. 'The Armenian's left the place a shithole. Used it as a naval base and then fucking left it to itself. A group of ultranationalist's took it over. They call themselves the 'Poti Defence Force'. I tried getting in contact with a few of them but they told me to sod off. They've declared Poti the true Georgian Republic and put some Orthodox nutter as the top man. A man named Nakin. No one knows his real name'. Davit nodded throughout. 'What about Abkhazia? Has it settled down up there?'<br/><br/>'No. Ever since Tamaz Nakini disappeared, the place has gone to shit. Ossetians are trying to invade but the Abkhazians are having none of it. All while they're arguing amongst themselves over how to run the place. You've got communists, fascist, even a monarchy movement. That's according to the Abkhazians I met in Poti, anyway. Tamaz was a clever bastard, even if he was a Dagi. He kept the place going. But ever since he's disappeared, a big power vacuum opened up and now every fucker from here to Timbuktu want's to make an Abkhazian republic. Really, it's a mess. Any hopes we had with contacting the leaders up there are dead and cold in the grave' Zagreb ended his report. Davit swore under his breath. He had been hoping for the Abkhazians to pull through. But they hadn't. They were too busy arguing about politics.<br/><br/>A silence befell the two men as they kept to their own thoughts. The only noise came from a bird singing outside and occasional snort from the drunk Azeri on the floor. 'How have things been around here?' asked Zagreb, breaking the silence. Davit banged his fist on the table suddenly and stood to his feet, his face twisted in anger. 'Absolutely shit. We lost four smugglers last month bringing food into the city. They've started taxing the fuck out of everything coming into Batumi and everything leaving Batumi. We lost a squad on the north side to a group of bloody Turks under the command of Altan. Morale is getting low and the recruits are drying up' the short leader placed a hand to cover his eyes. 'One smuggler left. An Armenian sod, he is. Brings through the Sea, bless his soul. We're putting him and his crew under protection in case the Turks get pissy with him in the docks. If he's gone, we lose all hope of feeding anyone. '<br/><br/>'Who's protecting him?' asked Zagreb, taken aback by Davit's sudden outburst. 'Sabas and his band of merry fucking boys' growled Davit, removing his hand from eyes."

Taytu felt the cloth of her dress sticking to her skin despite that it hung loosely from her tall, bony build. It was white and embroidered with gold, though time had turned it a sandy tan, contrasting lightly with her dark-bronze skin and wiry black hair.. It was a cloudless day, and the orb of the sun was obscured by sharp rays of light, but Taytu felt as if the crowds in the street were making the worst of the heat. They were bottled in between the buildings of the city, which acted like walls directing the crowds from one part of the festival to another.<br/><br/>It was no holiday, simply a victory. War had came to Ethiopia and the Imperial clients that made up the larger Pan-African nation, and Taytu had been at the center of it. She was the Emperor's own sister, and she held the office of Adviser for Foreign Affairs on top of that. The Ottoman Empire had insulted them when Turkic terrorists bombed the Ethiopian Embassy in Armenia, and the Sultan had made no attempt to right that wrong. In his paranoia, he had even had the audacity to try to imprison her during a diplomatic meeting before declaring war outright. She had escaped, only to discover that the Turks had destroyed the Ethiopian navy.<br/><br/>The next few months had been a blur. In truth, they had not started a war, but were rather dragged into one that had been going on for half of a decade. Armenia had declared independence from the Ottomans, and soon half of the old Empire was doing the same. It had driven their Sultan mad, and in his growing fear he had made bad decisions one after the next.<br/><br/>Despite their set backs, it was a war they had been destined to win. Their sudden war on Ethiopia had been a death rattle. Still, the people in the streets whispered the same idea - it was Ras Hassan. Hassan has led an army north out of Hejaz even as Turkish troops landed in Ethiopia. With them, he gave support to the Palestinian rebellion and helped them to officially declare an enforced independence. The Turks abandoned Africa all together, but it was too late. When the Sultan died of a heart attack a couple of weeks later, many in Ethiopia proudly said Hassan's victory had caused it.<i>A megalomaniac</i>Taytu though, aghast that they would give him this one as well.<i>That monster will get rewarded for this one as well</i>. She only had to look at her young Olivier to know why.<br/><br/>Just past his third birthday, Olivier was a quiet child. He was not truly hers - an adopted son, orphaned by civil war. He had been born of the Garenganze people of Bunkeya at a time when those very same people were at war with the Pan-African Ethiopian government. They had followed Marcel Hondo-Demissie - the infamous Rouge General and Ghost of Katanga that had lead the tribes of Katanga in an uprising that embarrassed the Ethiopian military. It was Hassan that had finally put the revolt down, and his methods would leave an effect that would be felt by Olivier and those like him more then anyone else. Hassan had gathered the Garenganze people into camps and, in an effort to draw their leader into open battle against the Rouge General's wishes, began to mutilate the children. As an infant, Olivier had lost an arm, and now he were an empty sleeve on his left that gave testament to it. It was partly for this reason that she had adopted him. What Hassan did could not be forgotten.<br/><br/>Their Imperial guards pushed through the crowd, making way for the women of the Imperial family. This had been Empress Azima's notion, Taytu's sister-in-law, and they had brought Taytu's mother Elani with them. Stress had caught up to the Empress-Mother, and her mind was failing alongside her health. She was only fifty eight, but she looked twenty years older. She dressed all in black and seemed to be losing her wits. The loss of a husband and a son, Taytu's own father and the former Emperor Yohannes, and her brother Sahle, had caused her to sink into a distant sourness. She rarely spoke, smiling bitterly and nodding in answer to most things, and she didn't seem to have any interest beyond the children.<br/><br/>""Look at this."" Azima plucked a flower from a bin and showed it to Elani. Its purple pedals held a cold, sweet smell. ""Wouldn't it be lovely to have a few of these in your room."" Elani smiled weakly and shook her head.<br/><br/>""I dun like flowa"" Tewodros pouted in the Empress's arms. The young prince and Imperial heir was nearly two years old. Feisty, he had spent the week punching cats until he was caught and scolded earlier that morning. His mood had been sour ever since.<br/><br/>""Fine."" Azima put it away. Elani's reaction worried her more.<br/><br/>Azima was young and pretty, with bronze East African skin and a narrow face. Her pointed Arabic features and smooth black hair made her look like Hassan, her father. Her relationship with the Ras was distant, but it still made Taytu wonder. Sometimes, things that Azima said reminded Taytu of the same coldness that had made Hassan so inhuman.<br/><br/>The crowd was awash in a sea of white, the color of the wrapped robes that most of the people wore. Colorful floral dresses and modern outfits consisting of shirts and belted pants broke the monotony of color, as did rugs hanging from racks and thick velvet parasols that protected stalls as well as the individuals wealthy enough to have their own. When a rare breeze broke the stale air, the smell of injera cooking in clay ovens or the rich scent of ginger-laced berbere mixed teasingly together. But traditional food wasn't all there was available. Fried fish served in banana leaves came from the Congo, and egg rolls held in easy to carry palm leaf dishes gave a hint of their ally to the far east. For the first time in her life, Taytu tried one of the fried Chinese foods, but found that she did not like the cabbage-heavy flavor.<br/><br/>""I wonder what it is like in China?"" Azima asked as she cautiously ate at the hot egg-rolls.<br/><br/>""I don't know."" Taytu replied. ""I've met people from there, but they have been diplomats and they've always been straight to business. Yaqob would know better. He has actually been there.""<br/><br/>""Yaqob has told me some."" Azima admitted, ""But he was in the army, and after that he just lived in some mansion hidden away from the rest of the country. He said they were very cautious about letting foreigners around their country. It sounds suspicious to me. Like they are trying to hide something. Do you think China is actually a horrible place and they are keeping it under wraps.""<br/><br/>""If we listened to Spain, I suppose we'd have to assume that all the Chinese are slaves."" Taytu mused. ""But if we listened to Spain, we'd have to assume we are slaves to your husband as well."" Azima laughed.<br/><br/>There were hints of Spain as well. Even though the Spanish pretended Ethiopia was one of the leaders of evil in the modern world, there was no lack of Spanish goods in the country. Their magazines were full of full page ads, glossy and in color, selling everything from cars to socks.<br/><br/>Photo stands were especially popular. They sold images related to the war - soldiers on the front, images from Hassan's entry into Palestine, banners waving over this battle field or the next, a lone priest leaning against a cross proudly holding the green, yellow, and red of the Ethiopian flag, and many many more.<br/><br/>And then there was the paintings of the Emperor. A young man, he sat demurely on a wicker chair, a warm smile on his face as youthful strength in his eyes. His skin was the same dusky color as hers, and he wore his hair in a natural afro. Loose fitting tan robes flowed over white. He wore no badge of office - no crown or collar, nor jewels or military badges. It was his face alone that told you who he was, a face that everyone knew the instant they saw it. For the rare person who wouldn't know, a small tag on the bottom of each frame identified him.<br/><br/>""His Imperial Highness Yaqob II."" Taytu's brother and Azima's own husband.<br/><br/>As they met with the main road, the crowd became an endless sea of cluttered loud bodies. The dusky people of East Africa were not the only ones present in the number; the olive-skinned Arabs of Sudan and Somalia, and the Nubian blacks with skin as dark as oil muscled by each other as countrymen. Among them, the rare blotchy pink of European tourists stuck out like flies in pudding. In some places, the new towering skyscrapers of white and steel helped shade the people below, but in others the glass of these towers sent directed rays of light that made things worse. Skyscrapers were rare in Addis as well, and most buildings were simple structures that clung closely to the ground.<br/><br/>The sound of drums from far off told them that the time was near. Officers in their khaki uniforms began to clear the street as much as they could. ""It is getting late."" Azima blustered. ""We will be expected.""<br/><br/>A simple brown land rover picked them up. It was a utility vehicle belonging to the Imperial Guard, but Azima had insisted they take it instead. It was easy to forget, but she herself had been an Imperial Guard before she was Empress. When Hassan had started the war to overthrow the elder brother Sahle for the younger brother Yaqob, his daughter had served as an agent in the Walinzi - the national intelligence of Ethiopia. He had transferred her from there to be Captain of the Imperial Guard once Yaqob had gained his throne, and their following affair would become serious when Yaqob was almost assassinated in the streets. She was a tough woman - likely tougher then the delicate-hearted Yaqob - but it was easy to lose sight of that amongst the plush dresses and her motherhood.<br/><br/>They arrived on the steps of the Imperial Palace. The Palace wasn't truly a Palace at all, but rather a sprawling complex of government headquarters and offices. A wide street led to its front, where a gallery of cream-colored steps led up to a columned mutlistory building. It was here that the government had turned out, building an artificial stage along the steps where seats could be prepared. And here, they would recognize the heroes of the short-lived war with the Turks.<br/><br/>Taytu followed Azima and Elani up to the royal box, where a golden awning protected plush chairs from the sun. They were greeted by the Emperor himself, who stood up as their feet met the clapboards of their box.<br/><br/>This was not the Yaqob of the painting in the shops. He was paler, his skin the color of creamed coffee, and there was a tiredness in his eyes that made him look older than his twenty seven years. He stood slightly hunched over, pale red robes falling around the cream robe underneath., and he had a dour look on his face that only grew warm when he saw his son. ""Tewodros."" he said as Azima put the boy on the ground. He waddled over toward his father and fell into his arms. Yaqob took a deep, hollow breath and picked the boy up. ""How was the market?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""We enjoyed ourselves."" Azima answered. ""I think Elani liked getting off the grounds.""<br/><br/>Yaqob looked up at his mother, and Taytu could see the dark clouds of his constant worry enter his eyes again. ""Mother, did you enjoy the market?"" he asked sincerely.<br/><br/>She looked at him, smiling blankly. ""I enjoyed the market."" she echoed with a nod.<br/><br/>The drums grew louder, indicating that the parade was nearly there. Taytu sat in her place in the corner, holding her Olivier on her lap. ""Those drums are loud."" he said meekly.<br/><br/>""I know, sweet one."" she kissed him on the cheek. ""If they are too loud, cover your ears."" He followed suit, but for only a moment. Soon enough, curiosity had pulled his hands back down.<br/><br/>At first came a line of bands, their members so numerous that they could have filled several orchestras. They played old European marching songs alongside new African ones. The anthems of the nations that had fought against the Turks in the war could be heard as well, from Armenia to Greece to Syria. And then, louder than any of the others, came the Ethiopian anthem. The thumping of drums and blare of trumpets echoed through the streets and allies of Addis.<br/><br/>Next came a line of men wearing white tunics with leopard skin robes draped over them and rope sandals on their feet. Each man carried a banner with a captured Turkish flag. Some were bloodied and torn, while others were pristine. As the band melted down the roads behind the buildings, the banner carriers approached the stairs in front of where the Emperor sat. Amongst their number, men blew horns as each banner carrier dipped the crescent moon flags with their bloody crimson before tossing them to the ground and bowing. These were not Turks, Taytu noted. There were rumors that Hassan had murdered his prisoners of war, though when asked he simply insisted he had turned them over to the Palestinians.<br/><br/>Soon enough, a pile of red flags lay in inglorious heaps right below the Emperor, and the next wave of the parade came up.<br/><br/>The parade itself was actually the marriage of several. They had wound separately down the main streets of the city until they came to the plaza-like road in front of the Imperial Palace. Here, they came together into one massive procession. In some places, the union was obvious. Acrobats, jugglers, and men in colorful dress walked in columns one next to the other. A man dressed in womans clothing ran around with a shortened toy gun and play-attacked random people in the street, only to be chased away by several more clowns with swords in their hands. More bands joined them, with the same music as before with a playful tinge in the back.<br/><br/>Following them came the soldiers. Some wore the drab green of the field, while others were decked in Khaki dress uniforms. They marched in step, following tanks laden with wounded soldiers and long pieces of artillery whose polished barrels seemed to be on phallic display.<br/><br/>The survivors of the Battle of the Red Sea were next. They rode up in trucks, those who could stand hanging over the backs and waving. More banner-men accompanied them as well, holding white banners that plainly listed the battle's dead.<br/><br/>Following all of this came Ras Rais, riding on the back of a walnut horse. He was surrounded by one hundred men of the 1st Somali, the regiment he had started his career in. Ras Rais was a thin man. His brown dress uniform was baggy on his skeletal frame, and he wore sunglasses to hide eyes that many deemed too harsh. Drums followed him, and they pounded a heavy beat that was half marching and half artillery shells.<br/><br/>And following him came Hassan.<br/><br/>The same sorts of bannermen who had delivered the Ottoman flags, but these carried long poles with torches on top. Hassan himself carried a final banner in his arms as he rode in on horseback, and he was surrounded by a dozen men in plain army drab with keffiyahs wrapped around their faces.<br/><br/>Hassan was a thickly built man. In his youth, this would have meant broad shouldered and muscly, but his middle years had also added a gut. He was dressed in drab olive fatigues and a similar green side cap. His skin was the same dusky bronze as most east Africans, but his features had a pointed Arabic look to them. Hit hair was black tinged with grey, and he wore a days worth of stubble on his chin. As he arrived at the foot of the stairs and took his place next to Rais, the lightly colored line that ran down the side of his face became noticeable - a scar from his early years.<br/><br/>""Who are those men in the checkered face-masks?"" Taytu heard somebody whisper.<br/><br/>""Palestinians."" she answered quietly.<br/><br/>She had heard a rumor of these Palestinians. Hassan's intervention in Palestine had made him a hero to their people, and it had created a group of men who had grown up in the rebellion. They knew nothing about the world outside of war, and they had been scarred for it. Some of these men had offered their services to Hassan, and he had accepted them in turn. A hero at home as well, few questioned the great Ras Hassan acquiring personal soldiers.<i>He launched a coup before.</i>the thought niggled at the back of Taytu's mind.<i>Why wouldn't he launch another one for himself?""</i><br/><br/>The bands went silent, and suddenly it was quiet. Taytu noticed the wind whistle passed her ear for a moment, and she heard muttering in the crowd that filled the streets.<br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty!"" Ras Hassan shouted up. His horse shied away from the steps and the flags that covered them. ""I have brought you the tokens of a fallen Empire. They attacked you and they insulted you by imprisoning your blood.""<br/><br/>Taytu cringed at the memory. Being captured by the Turks in Port Fuad had been one of the most frightening moments in her life. They had broken protocol so thoroughly that she had not been certain what would happen next. It was only by chance that a runaway musician and his friends had managed to save her and help her escape to Hejaz.<br/><br/>""I have answered their insults by bringing them down low!"" Hassan continued the charade. ""Accept this as a gift.""<br/><br/>Yaqob stood up and approached a microphone in front of him. ""This is good."" he answered loudly. In front of a microphone, the sour young Emperor came alive. ""The Ottoman Turks dared to declare war on my people and they answered for it. They had seceded from the world when they denied Armenia its due, and they were treated justly. I take your tokens knowing that we, the people of Africa, have answered injustice with swift correction.""<br/><br/>Hassan nodded. The torchbearers and Palestinians fell around him and he began to climb the stairs on horseback, banner in hand. As he passed over the pile of flags, the torch bearers lit them on fire. Taytu twitched at the sight of the burning Turkic flags. She had been firmly against it, and she had argued to the Emperor that it would do nothing but make peace even harder than it already was. There was still a Turkish nation, Ottoman or not, and they would see this stupid ceremony as an insult to their already wounded country. It was like pulling a new scab and grinding salt into the cut. But Hassan had insisted, and Hassan had got his way.<br/><br/>Still on horseback, Hassan reach the royal platform and handed the remaining Ottoman flag over to the Emperor. Taking it in one hand, Yaqob fumbled with it until he held it firm. Hassan cleared the way, and Yaqob thrust the flag into the air in triumph. ""We have won!"" he said. The crowd in the street cheered, and for once Taytu truly felt like their Empire was finally in one piece.<br/><br/>""We have won!"" Yaqob repeated. ""We are invincible!"""

Alexsandar him self had light brown hair. His face was rounded and flattened, and he possessed jade green eyes. His nose was small and not very prominent within his facial features, and brows weren't very thick. He was tall standing at 6""1 and he was of average weight for his age and height. He looked liked he was in his mid 30s or late 20s.He remained concentrated on his work. He wore a long black sleeve shirt, with some blue slacks. His office was large, but was rather lacking in furniture, only a two chairs in front of his polished wood desk and a few bookshelves with collections of literature that seemed to be mostly about philosophy. The fireplace was made of a white stone, the wallpaper being red and yellow striped. Shiny wooden baseboards boarded the room, with the same effect being applied at the top of the walls. His desk was a bit of a mess, papers and pens scattered about.<br/><br/>Alexsandar looked up from the paperwork he was working on as he heard a knocking at the double wooden doors to his office. He sat up and straightened up and threw the papers together in a loose stack. He put most of his pens off to the side of the desk and pulled in further.<br/><br/>""Come in"" said Alexsandar in response to whoever was knocking.<br/><br/>Through the doors stepped in Damier Bogdan, Serbia's Minister of Foreign Relations. The man was short when compared to average, only standing at 5""5. He had darker brown here that contrasted with Alexsandar's light brown hair. The men wore a trench coat and rather dark pants and shirts, giving hi more onto the theme of one of the rulers of the state. His face was a bit more oval like then Alexsandars, but still remained flattened. He had dark blue eyes that seems to just gaze at whatever he was looking at.<br/><br/>""Damier! What to do I owe the pleasure?"" spoke Alexsandar in a bit of a happy mood.<br/><br/>Damier approached Alexsandars desk and pulled out one of the two chairs that was in front and tucked under the desk. The chair was made of a shiny wood, with a red cushion for the seat. Damier sat down and pushed himself under the front of Alexsandar's desk.<br/><br/>""I just like to discuss a few things with you. Mainly when we actually do plan to begin the reunification, and on that subject..."" Damier seemed to pause for a minuted before speaking again ""The people of Serbia are getting a bit upset. It has been a while since Yugoslavia collapsed, they were hoping we make are move much sooner then this.""<br/><br/>Alexsandar stood up and went to look out the window that was behind him. He looked over the city of Belgrade, the pride and glory of Serbia. Where much of its industry lied, it beautiful rivers flowing calmly amongst the many packed in buildings. He sighed and sat back down.<br/><br/>""The reason I haven't ordered the Generals to move out yet is because we are still building up. The former countries that comprised Yugoslavia may be weak in comparison to us, but a want a decent enough force that we can hold off attacks from a few of them. I also feel that not all the people of Serbia are still in favor of reuniting Yugoslavia back to its former glory. I want to make sure these people see our side, and see the benefits of reuniting Yugoslavia before we make our move."" spoke Alexsandar.<br/><br/>""Ah yes then. Anyways we might begin seeking some allies, it might help us when we do begin the reunification of Yugoslavia"" said Damier. He and Alexsandar spoke for a while about Serbia and its current state in the international community. After Damier left Alexsandar relaxed a bit, glad that he was finally done speaking to Damier. He personally did not see Damier as friend as he did with his other Ministers, but he got the job done. Alexsandar went back to looking over the many papers layed amongst his desk. He went back to his usual routine and day dreamed of Serbia's bright future.<br/><br/>//This post is considered non-canonical </div>"

It would be wonderful, we haven't had hold of you in years. You're always traveling the world, going here and there, anywhere but with your friends and family."" said Lady Catherine nonchalantly, as her visitor was about to leave.<br/><br/>""Well, truly I...<br/><br/>-No, no, I will not take it. Do not move. Let me have you discharged of your frock.<br/><br/>-Lady Catherine, I doubt...<br/><br/>-Fatima, my pretty, bring a chair for our friend Hamid-dowleh. He will be staying for tea."" Her waist pivoted elegantly, and she inquired, giving an appearance of concern ""That is your title, my good friend? I am still so confused with persian matters! It is so very confusing.""<br/><br/>Her guest, reluctantly seated, but never one to displease, reassured her, ""It is of no importance, truly. You are our guest here, and we are to accommodate you, not the other way 'round. Among people of proper upbringing, the exact rank does not so matter, does it?<br/><br/>-I am terribly grateful to have you as such a forgiving acquaintance. Some people are despicable and perfidious, I would not want anything more to do with them than they do me, that is, the most common civilities."" She paused, and gaily asked, ""Pray tell me, where have you been lately? Or perhaps should I say, 'What have you been doing?'. ""<br/><br/>As she spoke, Hamid had rose up, to wander around the room, exquisitely decorated with chosen pieces of persian and european art. He came to the large, clear window, which overlooked a ravishing evergreen forest, and fields sculpted in the mountain further down. He thought that he had missed these blessed lands somewhat, at the very least for the old british charm of his host. ""My lady, I must repeat myself from year to year, but every time I pay you a visit, I cannot prevent myself from being taken by the view, the sweet flower scents, the mellifluous cascades of sounds. This is very close to heaven, and were it not for my duties, I would wish to live in these very valleys. How did you come to find yourself here? I have not often met your husband. I do hope this is not a subject painful..."" he paused, waiting for a reaction to paint itself on her face.<br/><br/>""Oh dear lord, not at all!"" she laughed. ""Abolfazl is a caring man, if distant. He's a general, you see. Very martial, dignified. In his younger years he was charming, and so thoughtful! We had a love marriage, you know? It was still something of a rarity in our times. You are still a lone gentleman, I suppose you know all this. We met in Berlin, 1948. We were both 18 years old. The city perhaps wasn't as joyful as in the years prior to the Great War - you must have heard the most extravagant tales from our forefathers - but it was still very much dainty. Unter den linden, Potsdam, Sans-souci, it was the most wonderful of cities. The Republicans hadn't been so mad as to destroy the charm of their capital. Some were even quite civil. I met there this young Jew named Fitzler, Feidler, something of the kind, who was a rare gem, I can assure you!"" did she exclaim joyously. ""Well, to the point, Abolfazl had been sent to train with the german army. Despite the war, it still had its fierce prussian reputation. It probably served him some good. He supervised the operations in Sindh, you know? He found the right arguments to convince those rude warlords, and keep them disciplined.""<br/><br/>Hamid, several years her junior, smiled as he listened to her recollecting memories from her youth. He had loved her, when she was still a young woman, and he a shy adolescent. He had been seduced by her fine ways, her wit and<i>prestance</i>. But she was an other's, and he had had to wait for this youthful affection to wither away, which never it truly did. None of his loves ever quite dissipated, thinning instead into a vaporous and melancholic essence, which joined and enriched the aroma of all his past lives. He was nearly a happy man, notwithstanding. ""Oh, I see. I reckon he is in Esfahan, then. I will try to arrange a little presentation during my next stay there. I would be enchanted to make his acquaintance. If he is to the measure of his wife, I have high hopes!""<br/><br/>""You are too kind, dearest Hamid. Have I heard though that you will not be staying here long? Already you are departing for another country?<br/><br/>-Why, yes, I do fear so. I believe I have a mission in Algiers later this month.<br/><br/>-So you have to deal with the Spaniards? Pardon me, but I quite despise them. They are so haughty and vulgar. Have you heard of this dreadful statue they erected to celebrate their 'republic'? By Jove, it represents the acting prime minister, Sotelo, Sotilo, and his deceased predecessor. A bronze statue! And a monumental one, at that. It is entirely lacking in taste. I feel quite sorry for my friend Joana of Medina-Sidonia. A republic, and<i>that</i>kind of republic. I say Spain is a threat. It cannot refrain itself from meddling in everything and anything, especially what it shouldn't and has no right to.""<br/><br/>The diplomat, somewhat surprised by what he was hearing, hesitated, ""Spain isn't a communist country.<br/><br/>-Oh, I know!"" she said. ""That's why I am so upset. That China act rashly, I could understand. But Spain! It's supposed to be on<i>our</i>side. ""<br/><br/>Hamid observed her, speechless, for a few seconds. He instinctively shook his head and regained his composure, as she continued criticizing the Iberians.<br/><br/>""What do you plan to do about the Gibraltar dam? What kind of idea is that? It's mad. Can you imagine the damage? I tremble thinking of the Riviera defaced, not to mention Venice. Simply suggesting that should be a crime! Venice is the loveliest city. I am no scientist, but I heard from a professor friend of mine that it might lead to the collapse of some buildings? I'd faint just saying it."" did she explain, outraged, and shuddering. "" It's treason not to act. Someone has got to do something.<br/><br/>-I do hear you, my friend."" he sighed. ""We have been trying to reason them for years now, but they just won't listen. I shouldn't tell you this - it's a diplomatic secret, you see - but somehow I feel it can only end badly. What I can tell you is that the strait of Gibraltar is vital for persian trade, and...<br/><br/>-Absolutely! Even the communist parliament wouldn't once think of doing such things! I don't hold it very dear in my heart... truth be told, I find this situation most absurd. A communist monarchy seems very contradictory to me. But then what can we do? Nowadays the popular vote is an important thing. One cannot simply discount it. I hope His Highness will succeed in limiting their folly. Dear Hamid, how do you deal with all these political eccentricities? I dare hope a socialist, or marxist, whatever they call themselves exactly, hasn't had the impudence to give you directives?""<br/><br/>He laughed lightly, before petrifying quite entirely, his only movement being the regular tap of his fingers on the fine-grained table. He stood still a few long moments, and confessed, ""To say the truth, the communists do not hold so much sway as one could be lead to believe. Within their own majority they are far from the sole group, and have to compose with a dissonant chorus. In the government, beyond the ministers themselves and their aides, and aside from the lone employee, it cannot be said their ideology is espoused with much enthusiasm. It isn't just a joke that bureaucracy chokes most change; the most inconsequential, or least damaging reforms pass through the net, but those dearest to the communists are left ensnared in a hopeless morass. I digress"" he chuckled, ""No, I do not obey to any of them. Worry not. Sane people are still in command.<br/><br/>-You see me reassured, my good fellow. I wasn't alarmed, but, you must understand, somewhat worried. There were talks of irresponsible land reform and wealth redistribution. I do not object - I try to go with the times - to the poor getting a better living, but I don't think everything should be so much as reversed.<br/><br/>-We can trust His Highness to wisely navigate Persia through these difficult waters. Have you ever met him, Lady Catherine?<br/><br/>-Yes, yes, naturally. How could I not!"" did she utter, theatrically shocked at the mere thought Hamid suggested. "" He is a fine man. An excellent man. So refined, delicate, yet distinctly firm. In a word, he is a perfectly noble man, in the best sense of the word. My only fear is his youth, really. He is becoming more than a young man, now, but thirty-two years to govern an empire, in such troubled times, is such a daunting task!<br/><br/>-May I share my thoughts with you, my lady?<br/><br/>-But of course!"" did she say invitingly, weighing on each word. ""We are of one mind.""<br/><br/>He kindly looked at her, and pursued ""I must say he most impresses me with his knowledge and acute understanding of the world. I have noticed however his idealism. He holds very dear to certain ideas, freedom, democracy, happiness, right, and sometimes turns a blind eye on what might trouble his certainties. He is still young, but right now ideals aren't the right thing to have. A country can't afford itself the luxury of overlooking its interests.<br/><br/>-He will learn, I fear not. We all do."" she mused indulgently.<br/><br/>Outside, a slight rain was knocking on the window, veiling the gently sloping mountains."

But as the leader of Spain and the the most powerful man in the West, he knew full well that nothing could simply be forgotten. His paralyzing fear had been captured in a thousand photographs that would find their way to newsreels and publications by that very evening. Within the week, the entire world would be privy to that embarrassing ordeal at the foot of the statue, and he feared that the incident would result in yet another of the insidious rumors about him. Alfonso went to great lengths to brand himself as the assertive socialite at the nexus of Spain's upper society, but after four years the fabrication was coming apart at the seams. Murmurs among those who worked directly underneath Spain's eccentric Prime Minister told of a lonely and perpetually irate monster. Some claimed that Sotelo had no real friends to speak of, and worse still, others hinted that his weight had fallen since taking upon the mantle of Spain's<i>Presidente de Gobierno</i>due to an aggressive dependency upon cocaine. These scathing whispers comprised the penultimate concern on his unending list of fears; not in and of themselves, but because they were true. Sotelo's public facade, however well-constructed it may have been, was slowly being chipped away. The bright, confident veneer he had fashioned for himself was<i>not</i>impenetrable. If these things could come to light, then it might come to pass one day that Alfonso's Sotelo's deepest secret be known and his greatest fear realized: that the world might discover the plot that had allowed Alfonso Sotelo to rule the West.<br/><br/>For Alfonso, the statue of himself paired with his predecessor was a reminder of that dark reality waiting to make itself known. For as long as he was Prime Minister of Spain, the monument would taunt him from just beyond his office. He wished it could simply be torn down and the man who wrought such a poignant reminder hanged for tormenting him so. His mind swirled with a volatile mixture of anxiety and rage which manifested itself as a violent trembling of his bony arms. The fury coiling within his limbs released with little warning and his arm swung into a sizable stack of documents. A flurry of papers scattered through the air and tumbled clumsily into a mess across the black marble desk and the tiles below. His chest puffed and fell as he tried to regain a sensible rate of breathing. If the statue was to remain outside his office, Sotelo knew he would need help if he was to continue functioning.<br/><br/>From within one of the drawers of his black marble desk, the Prime Minister produced a vacuum-sealed bag filled to capacity with a snow white substance. Purchased anonymously from a producer in southeastern Ecuador, it was the purest coca that could be bought. Sotelo pierced the top of the bag with a sharp letter opener and sprinkled a smallish pile onto the polished surface of his desk where it glowed with pure whiteness against the black marble. With the same letter opener, he tapped the pile into a suitably-long row before hovering his left nostril over the line and inhaled it all in a long snort.<br/><br/>His eyes rolled back into his head and he threw himself against the padded backing of his chair as a familiar wave of ecstasy coursed through his brain. The myriad of problems pitted against him seemed surmountable - paltry even. Certainty took hold where despair gnawed just moments before.<br/><br/>Sotelo's euphoria was interrupted by a soft beeping. The red LED of a console carved into the side of the desk blinked intermittently, informing the Prime Minister that he was being hailed for a telecall. He pressed the appropriate button to accept the transmission, which allowed him ample time to hide the baggy of white powder in the confines of a drawer. From the ceiling directly in front of the desk, an electric motor whined with a soft, high pitch as a large projection-screen television descended gradually from the ceiling. A flickering rainbow of colored bands glowed warmly on the giant screen, directly above which was a camera tethered to a telephone cable that ran up into the ceiling.<br/><br/>For some time, telecalls had left the realm of cutting-edge technology; the technology to conduct live calls in which both parties traded video and audio had existed for the better part of a decade. Even so, the cost of the equipment and infrastructure - coupled with its unreliability - made it far too expensive and problematic for anyone but large corporate entities and the governments and militaries of wealthy nations to bother with it. But for those who possessed the capability to conduct these futuristic video-integrated calls, the convenience of holding meetings from anywhere at any time was tremendously valuable.<br/><br/>The band of quivering static on the television screen blinked and was replaced instantaneously with the bust of a dapper young man clad in an olive green jacket whose breast was decorated with a dense band of medals. Curled tufts of black hair squirmed out from underneath his general's cap and sharp hazel eyes stared forward through the screen underneath thick black brows.<br/><br/>""General Ponferrada. It is a pleasure to speak with you once again.""<br/><br/>""Equally so, your Excellency."" The young general responded after a brief lag, bowing his head slightly.<br/><br/>""And how has Malta treated you thus far, General?""<br/><br/>""The Maltese have been accommodating enough to myself and the 3rd Mechanized. If they have any qualms with our invocation of the Ibiza Treaty, they've kept them amongst themselves - as they rightly should.""<br/><br/>During the final weeks of the Ottoman Empire, elements of the<i>Spanish Ejercito</i>based in Algeria moved across the border into the Turkish holdings along the North African coast and seized Tunis and Sfax unopposed, doing so for the sake of ""maintaining regional stability"". Additionally, and unbeknownst to the majority of the world - transfixed upon the collapse of the Sultan's dominion as it was - two Spanish armies had been placed on the island of Malta. Officially, these forces had been assigned to Malta - a client state of the Ibiza Treaty - for the purpose of providing stability to the region for those few who were aware of the mobilization. The actual role of the 3rd Mechanized Division in the aftermath of the Sultan's fall would prove far more sinister.<br/><br/>""Forgive my curtness, Excellency, but I'd like to move ahead to purpose of my contacting you. The Levant War has come to a close and my forces sit idly by as Ethiopia rebuilds. Our single best opportunity in delivering the fatal blow to the Yaqob's regime is rapidly slipping from our grasp. Every day we bide our time, their military regroups and replenishes itself. The Pan-African Empire will only get stronger-""<br/><br/>""I know these things already, General.""<br/><br/>""Then why have you not acted?"" Ponferrada spat. Thanks to the advances of modern technology, the general could see in real time as an irritated Alfonso Sotelo rose up from his seat.<br/><br/>""What did you tell me?"" Sotelo growled.<br/><br/>""I spoke out of turn, Excellency. I did not mean-""<br/><br/>""I did not ask you to apologize. I told you to repeat what you said.""<br/><br/>""Why have you not acted... Excellency?"" General Ponferrada recited shamefully. The Prime Minister resumed his seat.<br/><br/>""Remember whom you are speaking with, General."" Sotelo bridged his fingers upon the desk as he assumed a more comfortable posture. ""I will remind you that I am charged with overseeing every aspect of the Republic. I am afraid that there were extenuating circumstances at play elsewhere that prevented our engaging against Ethiopia and Brazil in the past month. You will, however, be pleased to know that this situation has since resolved itself. To my knowledge, I only await the departure of Admiral Santin's battlegroup from Cadiz to issue my ultimatum to Claro and Yaqob. After the 10th, you are to keep your forces alert and prepared for combat at all times.""<br/><br/>""Very well, Excellency. You have addressed all my concerns.""<br/><br/>""Then I have nothing more to discuss."" Concluded Sotelo. ""Until we speak again."" Alfonso pressed the button on the console built into the desk once again and the live feed cut to the same twitching band of colors as the screen and mounted camera retracted back into the ceiling. The hidden compartment in the ceiling for the telecall equipment shut with a mechanical whine. Silence fell upon the office yet again, but only briefly. A second interruption came - this time in the form of a knock on the doors.<br/><br/>""Permission to enter, your Excellency?"" Asked a monotoned bodyguard from behind the doors.<br/><br/>""Let them in."" The Prime Minister sighed.<br/><br/>As permitted, the doors of the office creaked open and allowed entry to one of the nondescript suit-donning goons that populated the Halls of the Republic, flanked on either side by two musclebound bodyguards. They closed the doors behind them and escorted the man to the foot of Sotelo's desk. He cast a curious glance to the papers scattered about the floor before redirecting his attention to Prime Minister Sotelo.<br/><br/>""Good afternoon, Excellency. I represent the Oficina de Inteligencia Militar, and I wish to bring to your attention a matter that we thought might be of interest to you.""<br/><br/>""Proceed.""<br/><br/>""Certainly. Now, do you happen to remember Julio Zuraban? The senator who disappeared before he was charged with Disloyalty?""<br/><br/>""Senator Zuraban..."" Sotelo mumbled thoughtfully to himself. ""Yes, I remember quite well. What of him?""<br/><br/>""Our associates in Egypt discovered him in Ottoman possession several weeks before the collapse of the imperial government. He is in our custody now, en-route to Bajaras Airport and due to arrive later this evening. We thought it might suit you to... 'catch up' with him.""<br/><br/>""Catch up?"" Sotelo remarked with a malign grin. ""I would love to."""
21969,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-03-18 04:26:00,Vilageidiotx,"<b>Sevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>In Sevan, they found a town straddling the line between resort and barracks. The empty green hills of the Armenian highlands rolled onwards like a thick lumpy blanket ruffled from one horizon to the next, with the sea blocked by the city itself. Dull grey concrete buildings mixed with fresher architecture plaster and paint. A lone tower built on wooden stilts protected the approach, and a lone machine gun watched over the road. This wasn't the only sign of the war they had seen. On the way in, a crashed fighter still lay in a crater of ash and kicked up dirt, its cockpit and engine charred along the edges. Sahle watched it worriedly as they passed, taking note of the goat wearing swimwear that was painted on its nose. The image had turned gray and was splattered with black.<i>Do they leave the bodies in those?</i>He had wondered. War was not something he could get used to. He couldn't imagine anybody ever did.<br/><br/>They had passed through the worst of the war in Syria. The Turks had made a final push, shelling rebel positions with such ferocity that it looked as if the clouds were on fire. The bright flashes and deep thrumming of their guns had kept him away, watching the grey on the horizon as it sizzled with light. It had looked like storm gods going to war with one another. Despite that, they never saw a shell fall, being too far from the action itself. They had only smelled it, and it had smelled of fire and dust. Shortly after they had found and claimed a military vehicle rusting on the side of the road<br/><br/>But now they were away, in Armenia. The place where the war started, but for them the place it had ended. Yared and Marc road in front, but that did not stop Sahle and Aaliyah from leaning against the bench of a front seat and staring out across the windshield. This same vehicle they arrived in Sevan in.<br/><br/>Most of Sevan was nothing more than another town, filled with stores just opening as the sun came up and apartments slowly leaking the people who lived inside of them. Most of them were women or old men, as the younger men had yet to return from the war. It wasn't until they chanced upon a smooth lakeside avenue that they found what they had came for.<br/><br/>There were restaurants and cinema's and beach side kebab stands, but there were also bars and clubs and hotels that promised a different sort of good time. Painted metal signs and the dimly colored shapes of unlit neon lights spelled their names.<i>Lake Place</i>,<i>The Prancing Goat</i>,<i>Maria's</i>. Most were dark, abandoned for the day or for the week. Those they could find were not hiring, citing the end of the war as the end of their business. It was only once they had exhausted half of their leads that they found one that would hire them.<br/><br/>The<i>Dead Soldier's Den</i>was a short hangar shaped building with a simple plaster front, hardly fitting in with its flat-roofed brick and grey-stone neighbors. It favored simple cast-iron letters bolted to the wall over any other signs, and its door was a simple tin thing that looked locked from just seeing it. It was only when Yared shrugged and went to turn the knob that it opened easily and let them in.<br/><br/>The inside of the Dead Soldier's Den smelled like piss and aging wood. The floor was covered in thin carpet with filth-tinged red patterns broken only by stains. It warped as they walked on it, but they found that it muffled their steps. Soon, they were in an open room. A stage dominated the wall on the far end, built from raised dark wood and heavy red curtains. In between there and the entry were dozens of round wooden tables with chairs placed on top hanging by their seats. On the wall nearest to them, a dark-wood bar stretched across the room.<br/><br/>""We are not open, you are seeing."" a syrupy voice with a thick Russian accent flanked them. Startled, all four musicians jumped.<br/><br/>The Russian was a taller man with sleepy eyes and a pale, moon-shaped face. His hair was a greasy streak hanging from under a fur cap. He wore brown-green fatigues, and had an assault rifle tossed over his shoulder. Sahle made eye contact with the gun barrel and Yared did the speaking.<br/><br/>""We are here looking for a job, friend."" Yared said in his mellow, friendly tone. ""We are musicians from Africa.""<br/><br/>""From Africa is what you say."" he said, ""I do not know why you would come to this country. It is cold up here, and we do a lot of war."" he smirked and swung his gun into his arms. The action caused all four of them to back away at once, but that only made the Russian laugh. ""I am thinking you are not comfortable with by equipment, but do not worry. I am the bouncer here, and I have found that having this with me means I have to bounce people around much less."" He shrugged and tossed it back around his shoulder before extending an arm. ""My name is Vasily. I think that we might be hiring some, but I will have to call the boss. He is doing some sleeping right now, so you will have to wait.""<br/><br/>And so they did. The Russian went behind the bar and picked up a phone, spinning the dial quickly.<i>Bzzt</i><i>Bzzzzzzt</i><i>Bzt</i>. Soon enough, he was speaking to it in a low voice.<br/><br/>Sahle and his friends found their seats easily enough in the empty bar. Marc began to play with a small white-wax candle in the center, chipping dried dribbles of wax away with his thumbnail. ""This might be it, friends."" Yared said confidently. ""This might be our new place.""<br/><br/>Sahle was less certain. At first, the odd Russian kept his attention, but soon he was looking around the building. There was no true ceiling, but instead he could see the roof as it went from one end of the building to the other, its black hollowness passing over even the walls. Lights hung from exposed electrical wire that ran along the wooden and steel beams. In one corner, Sahle spied a pair of pants dangling from a beam and could not help but imagine the poor drunk who tossed them up only to have them never return.<br/><br/>Looking back at the bar, Sahle saw the namesake for the first time. In a glass case, hidden in the shadows between two massive kaleidoscope-like mirrors, was a glass case holding a corpse. It looked like a shriveled old man, gray and hunched with withered limbs and dark pits where its eyes had once been. Its near-toothless mouth was agape. To complete the image, it had been dressed in a dusty green-brown military uniform that looked like a design from a century before.<br/><br/>It had caught Aaliyah's eye as well. Sahle could see that she was more confused by it then she was uncomfortable, but for him it was nothing but creepy.<br/><br/>When Vasily returned, he caught them staring at the dead man. ""He is nothing to see I think."" Vasily quipped, ""Just another dead man, and there are more of those than there are live ones. Or at least that is what my babushka used to say. If it is between us, I don't know if he was a soldier. I think he was just some man resting in a cemetery until the old man took him and dressed him up.""<br/><br/>""Who is this old man?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""Sanos Horasian"" Vasily explained. ""He is truly an old man. It will take him a while to find his underpants, and it will take him a while longer to get down here.""<br/><br/>When Horasian finally did make it, it was clear that Vasily had not exagerated. Horasian looked like a man in his eighties. His hair was sparse and snow-white, sticking to his head like tendrils of snow following mountain gorges. His skin was splotched and wrinkled, and his jowls hung from his face like those of an old hound. His eyes were a deep blue, but clouds marred his right. His weight worsened his already damaged health, and his gut hung over his trousers and buried his waistband, which was kept up by a pair of puke-brown suspenders.<br/><br/>""Musicians."" he grumbled, phlegm shifting in his throat. ""Why do you wake me for this, eh?""<br/><br/>""Sanos, you need to hire some entertainers that are not cold fish. Every night we watch them flop and flop on stage and nobody likes it. These nice people are all the way from Africa.""<br/><br/>""Blackies then."" Horasian coughed. ""I hear your people are good with the bongo drums, but I don't need bongo drums. I need dance musicians.""<br/><br/>""We have played in dance clubs from Cairo to Addis Ababa."" Yared replied enthusiastically.<br/><br/>""Don't brag about how many places you've worked."" the old man moaned, ""That just tells me you've been fired a lot. Now tell me, what type of music do you play.""<br/><br/>""Mostly African Blues and Jazz scene, friend."" Yared replied. ""But we can do others...""<br/><br/>""Hot dancing music then."" Horasian had began to breath heavy. Whether it was the talking or the standing that had wore him out, he took a chair. from a table and placed it down. His butt hovered like a helicopter trying to find a landing pad in a rain storm before he finally found his seat. Once he was down, he eyed Aaliyah.<br/><br/>""And does this one dance, or...""<br/><br/>""I...I..."" Aaliyah stuttered. Before she could speak, Horasian interrupted her.<br/><br/>""What is wrong with your eye, girl? Did one of these men sock you?""<br/><br/>She shook her head. ""I lost it, sir.""<br/><br/>""Lost your eye."" Horasian guffawed. ""That is a shame, you might have had a pretty face before. Well, I know a guy what can fix you up. Still, I need girls for dancing and cooking. There ain't much more use for women. Dance, cook, raise sons. That is what your kind should be doing now.""<br/><br/>""I have always found women good for warming my cockadoodle."" Vasily added in his syrupy Russian accent.<br/><br/>Aaliyah looked like she was under siege. Sahle felt angry suddenly, and he put his arm around her as if it were a wing. ""She sings, Mr. Horasian.""<br/><br/>""Sings."" Horasian looked at them funny. ""Bah. We already what and got a singer, don't we Vasily?""<br/><br/>""Levon sounds like somebody stole his vocal chords when he was a boy and swapped them with a cow. Not a cow's vocal chords even, the entire cow."" Vasily countered. ""Most people like to hear pretty girls sing, not everyone is like you Sanos. If we all had your taste, we could fire most of our entertainers and just put a sputtering truck and a naked girl on the stages.""<br/><br/>Horasian hocked and coughed so hard it sounded as if he was choking. It took a moment for Sahle to realize what he was hearing was a sort of laughter. ""Maybe."" the old man admitted. ""Maybe. We will see tonight. Can you be here at nine?""<br/><br/>Yared nodded.<br/><br/>""Good."" the old man said, ""I will pay you later."""

A soft warm breeze blew off the south, stirring the waves and raising them to fall with a guttural beat of the drum. Perched on a short hill overlooking the Bohai a modest estate stood. A wood-plan trail – aged to a stone-grey and choked with spindly, thing weeds – lead between the back deck and the sandy shore below. Trees with bright green budding leaves stood along the home's side. Ceramic shingles stretched out and arced outward on a majestic hang over the walls of the stone clad home.<br/><br/>Rising behind the home, on its inland face rose a flag pole. A red banner had been risen to its peak. It sputtered and flapped in the warm, salty sea breeze. There was a warm relief in the air. A comforting breath that came with spring. The warmth of summer was on its way, and the melting snow had given way to sprouting flowers.<br/><br/>An elderly figure stepped out onto the deck. His boney, leathery hands wrapped tightly around the head of a wooden cane, its head set with carved bone. Its figure head looked to be a dragon. Brass inlay marked where the wood ended and the bone began. All of it shone in a rich lacquer that gave it a deep, new shine.<br/><br/>Behind the man walked a younger figure, dressed in a clean white suit. His hands rich and new, pure. They rested wrapped in front of him, refraining a purpose. Poised with gentle etiquette.<br/><br/>“I have always enjoyed springtime.” the old man croaked as he hobbled towards a deck chair. He was Hou Sai Tang. The widely spoken of chairman. Respected in the east, despised in the west. But much of his prominence that he wore when he first stepped onto the world stage and seeped away. He was an old man now. He was coming on seventy.<br/><br/>Deep prominent lines had formed across his face, tracing his almond eyes. His brows appeared thin, if because they were raised so high above his head. His nose wide and dimpled with the years. And where his hair was thinning on his head and slowly receding across his scalp a still prominent beard grew from his chin. Sharp and angular, like the point of a spear. It dramatized he's already thin and narrow visage by stretching out his face even longer.<br/><br/>His left side also hung lax and numb. A stroke some several months back had seen to that. Now he walked with a cane and he had lost his energetic stride. In only one brief moment inflicted on him by America, he had come closer to death than any man had come so far. But he walked still. But he had much stolen from him. One of which was is energy to remain the Grand Secretary of the Chinese state.<br/><br/>“I had taken you for a summer man, comrade.” smiled his younger companion as he walked carefully behind him. Zhang Auyi, a trusted minister to Hou. Although not the first in his particular position.<br/><br/>The two stood equal to one another. Although Auyi was of fairer and more youthful complexion. He was by chance perhaps the youngest man in the current Chinese government at the age of forty-four. He still possessed a thick head of hair, cut clean and worked to a campaign finish. His face full and healthy and round. No lines marked him as was the case in Hou. His lips full and flush where Hou's had grown pale and thin.<br/><br/>And he dressed different. Where Hou dressed in a dark conservative black, Auyi's Zongshan was a bleached white. Grey buttons rose up and down the middle, marking the breast and waste pockets.<br/><br/>“Summers are nice, except when you're in Hong Kong.” Hou Sai Tang grumbled. His speech was lightly slurred, and had regressed as such over the past month, “But I suspect you didn't come here to compliment the time of year.” he added, his voice growing lower and if to be true: bitter.<br/><br/>“Unfortunately not.” Auyi exclaimed, taking a seat as the Chairman of the New People's China party did likewise.<br/><br/>“Then are you seeking a campaign endorsement?” Hou asked, “Because I can tell you here and now that I made it known when I announced my retirement I will not be officially involving myself in this. I am done, it's over. I want to step out of the political spotlight, come to terms with what I have done and survive long enough to see my father pass away.”<br/><br/>“How is he?” Auyi asked.<br/><br/>“The man is over ninety and still feels he can continue living.” Hou grumbled, “They say a man doesn't live long after his wife. But no one told him.<br/><br/>“He just needed me to remind him of his mortality.”<br/><br/>“I'm sorry to hear that, my condolences.” said Auyi.<br/><br/>Hou grumbled. With a low sigh he slipped into silence, leaning back in his chair as he watched the sea with a wistful distant expression. He went for some time as the galls over head called down. “But we're digressing from the topic again.” the old chairman said softly.<br/><br/>“I'm afraid so, I'm sorry.” Auyi quickly apologised.<br/><br/>“And I'd issue it to you if I could, but I have been asked by all thirty of your running mates.” remarked Hou, “Including Mang Xhu. It seems that all of government is getting up to take my old chair.<br/><br/>“I should count it as fortunate, the constant courting has slowed down the process of everything and I can continue to stay here for once in my life.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” Auyi nodded, “Although, I've tried not to set aside my current priorities.”<br/><br/>Hou gave him a cynical look. Though in his green eyes there was a certain expression of appreciation for what he could do. “Is that so?” he said, “Minister Mang Xhu I've heard has lightened his work load. He's devoting himself to trying to court half of Congress in his favor, and who knows what else. If he announced tomorrow he would be stepping down as Industrial Minister I would not be the least bit surprised.<br/><br/>“Of course this means I would need to go to Beijing and talk join the Politburo in making a replacement.”<br/><br/>“How does that process work?” Auyi asked, “I never fully got it.”<br/><br/>Hou shuddered off a deep sigh, “I wish I could remember the original logic. It's been twenty years and the job has been so highly associated with my position. I wouldn't be surprised if a legal committee simply wrote the Grand Secretary in as being the one to do it, and not the Chairman. Or both could. And I signed it when I was drinking.”<br/><br/>“Six months clean, haven't you?” Auyi asked.<br/><br/>“Eight.” Hou corrected, “I don't know how I feel anymore.” he mumbled, “Dien Han's been encouraging I stay this way as part of my rehabilitation. Whenever he comes over for a check up every so many weeks he even demands the guards to prove the house is dry.”<br/><br/>“And do they?” Auyi asked with a smirk.<br/><br/>“Only when I order them to comply.” he responded, “Loyal young men.” he added.<br/><br/>Auyi nodded, and it was again his turn to invite the silence. The two sat in their chairs. Watching the distant ocean throw itself on the waves and draw itself back. Birds – cranes, herons – strutted along the wet sands calling out to each other. A few galls picked along the sides, giving their taller more majestic companions sharp disdainful looks as they prodded the sand for food.<br/><br/>“It's strange.” Auyi started, “I had never seen the ocean before until I joined the Revolution. I had only seen fields and mountains and rivers as a boy. I never left my home by birth.”<br/><br/>“I have seen much.” Hou added, “Too much.<br/><br/>“Young men get killed for their cause. Destructive Imperialism by one breed of men. Starvation. Disease. More death any normal person should ever witness.<br/><br/>“I've been shot at, exploded on, and driven out with my friends by my enemies. I cried when the greatest man that ever was died, and became the executioner. I fear those days will catch up on me. I will not to meet them on my own terms.”<br/><br/>“Surely though you've seen much?” Auyi asked, “You saw us go beyond the clouds, liberate so many.”<br/><br/>“Yet people die, and Spain seeks to dam the Gibraltr! Yet Russia continues to prove that man is not pure and righteous!” Hou proclaimed, nearly shouting as he leaned out of his chair, “Brothers kill brothers in Africa. The Ottoman Turks rise and crash climatically in a single decade!<br/><br/>“In five years I have watched two nations crumble to dust, and now a third, shredded by violence and to no doubt be doomed for more.” he leaned back in his chair, raising his hand to his temple he sighed low, “Wen Chun, by dear friend and best man I have ever met once said I was perhaps the greater pick. He was too modest a person. If I was some saving light in his young ideological mind, how did I not prevent this?”<br/><br/>Auyi leaned back, too stunned to answer. He found his words though, but he felt uncomfortable. Like they weren't the right once. They were awkward. Somehow, he wanted to confirm what this man he had never met had said of Hou once upon a time. “How is any man supposed to?” he said.<br/><br/>“How is anyone supposed too...” Hou said, “Communism can not be accurately achieved without insanity being purged. But I'm not strong enough. I may have been able to keep it from happening in China itself. But how was I supposed to keep a wanton psuedo-Pope from starving half of Mindanao for his holy mission.”<br/><br/>“You... you couldn't.” Auyi said. He hoped to find something dismissive, something that wouldn't build the confirmation.<br/><br/>“I feel deep down China needs someone who wasn't there to be a party in the politics of the old party and the old communes.” Hou bemoaned gravely, “Xhu knows it too much.” he stopped to look at Auyi, looking into his eyes and seeing the frozen shock on him, “Provincial governor of Guangxi, no background but honorable service before that. Minister of People's Affairs and of Agriculture.”<br/><br/>“What are you saying?” Auyi asked.<br/><br/>“Maybe I facilitated to rapid a rise.” Hou laughed, “Some might criticize me for being too apologetic to Puyi for giving him the same seat before you, and after Mao. Though maybe it's favorable.<br/><br/>“I do not believe in circumstance, comrade. I believe in merit.”<br/><br/>“Is this an endorsement?” Auyi asked, he felt confused. Excited if scared.<br/><br/>“I will need to think.” Hou sighed, “But it won't be official if I do. Never will be.<br/><br/>“And you got a campaign to go on, and a family to return to, comrade Auyi.”<br/><br/><b>Yekaterinburg, Russian Republic</b><br/><br/>“Penthouse suit, top floor, third window on the right. No company.” a deep voice said next to him. A Grizzly, rough built Russian. A heavy fur coat hiding his bulking form as he sat crouched at a broken window on the top floor of an abandoned, darkened tenement building.<br/><br/>The rooms had been completely ravaged. The walls tore out in order for scavengers to get at the pipes. The broken wood beneath the plaster jutted out like broken teeth. Their mouth opened to an abyss of derelict nudity. In fact, filled with the crude depictions of the nude. Spray painted penises and crude dripping vaginae had been painted onto the opposite side of the wall opposite. There was already nothing there. The meat and worth of the walls had already been stripped out, along with the wiring.<br/><br/>What remained of the furniture was busted and strewn across the floor. The remains of a toiler lay scattered across the floor and a substance that look like dried and aged blood coated the chunks. Broken abandoned needles and broken light bulbs littered the floor, except for where they had been cleared by the window. What had transpired in full here was a mystery, even to the pair of men; and no one bothered or wanted to solve what had happened. Jun was almost surprised when they had entered that there was no body.<br/><br/>Leaning on an overturned couch some ten foot from the window next to the Russian was the man named Jun. His full figure too was clothed heavily in a thick coat. In his arms a battered rifle – a Mosin-Nagant from the era of the Imperial army no doubt – rested in his arms. A bundled sheath and sword rested on his back, hidden in a cocoon of bundled supplies and hidden gear. His mouth wrapped up in a thick scarf. Only his eyes could be seen, sharp brown eyes that glowed like a killer's. Irritation had saturated the white's thick with blood. And clenching one shut he peered down the long scope and scanned to the window his spotter had pointed out. A thin hair-line crack ran across the glass, but to his relief he could still see all the same.<br/><br/>“Dorofey Mitschov,” his spotter said, licking his lips as he watched through the binoculars, “How the world will be happy with you dead.<br/><br/>“Do you see him comrade!?”<br/><br/>“I see him.” the Chinese spy said angrily. He scanned his scope to the indicated window. There, several blocks off in the distance stood a large man. The weight of a fully stocked cow hung from his belly and his arms. Through the scope Jun could make out his signature mustache as he moved through what looked to be his bathroom.<br/><br/>“Carve out his head before he returns to his bitches and so we can go home.” Jun's Russian partner demanded, “I am tired of this shit.”<br/><br/>“We will need to confirm it still.” Jun replied with a bark.<br/><br/>“Right right, Makulov said you were in charge.” the Russian growled angrily, “Just take the shot then will you?”<br/><br/>“How's the wind?” Jun asked flatly. Cutting the bullshit on the spot.<br/><br/>“South by south-east.” his partner replied flatly, “Distance is roughly four-hundred fifty meters. Taking the shot?”<br/><br/>“Taking the shot.” Jun repeated.<br/><br/>“Then this man gives you permission.”<br/><br/>With a loud clap the rifle flashed with a strong report. It bounced in the Asian's hands, kicking back with a numb punch against his shoulders. And for a brief moment, the city outside went dead silent.<br/><br/>“Confirm it.” Jun demanded.<br/><br/>“Blood on the windows and walls.” his companion cheered, “I'd say you hit him!”<br/><br/>“Right.” Jun sighed, standing up. Bending down by his knees he grabbed a heavy wool wrap, and proceeded to bundle the rifle up. “We move out, give the responders time to come in, clean up, and move the body out. Then break into his suit and look around for confirmation.<br/><br/>“Then the morgue, get a photo of the kill for the Ghost General.”<br/><br/>“Sounds good by me.” his spotter said with a proud smile.<br/><br/><b>Novosibirisk, Russia</b><br/><br/>Outside the glass panes, rain fell over Novosibirsk. Inside the office, it was warm and dry. Outside, trains pulled into the city train-stated. Inside, a desk sat accompanied by a number of officers. The cap of a a Chinese officer stood out among the crowd. His over coat weighed with the multiple medals, badges and ribbons and symbols of his rank.<br/><br/>He stood over a notice on his desk, a dispatch from the Chinese military logistics service. “This is the fifth time I've been undercut, and we are already running out of time.” he grumbled, “We're loosing our window.”<br/><br/>“General Wen sir.” an officer said nervously, “It's nothing in our control. The roads out here are terrible. It's perfectly reasonable to expect to lose convoys and to delay them. The spring melt has turned much of them to mud.”<br/><br/>“I can read the dispatch comrade Mann!” Wen shouted angrily, raising his head. Grabbing the paper and holding it up to his face.<br/><br/>The general's face was heavily decimated by wrinkles. Sleeplessness had formed bags under his eyes. And his wide-chin sagged from the disdainful frown he wore. His nostrils flared wide on his upturned nose. He looked like an enraged boar than a man, only his cleanliness and neatness presented him as a man than a beast. “We are loosing our window for a swift action over Russia. I will not be caught in the snow!” he boomed, “It is how we lost the last time.”<br/><br/>“To be perfectly honest comrade, we have fought plenty in the snow.” a Siberian officer counter argued. A young, trim Caucasian figure, “How this is important I do not understand.”<br/><br/>“Snow means winter,” Huei Wen growled, “And winter brings snow. And with snow we risk attrition, especially at the harshness as we will face here. If we can not establish our lines or make swift action then by next spring we will be shot in the muck when we have not properly moved needed supplies where they're needed on time.<br/><br/>“And these set backs are forcing me to become concerned with the entire endeavor! Already we've sprung our first move and we're prolonging our second. If we can't get the last of the units in from Manchuria than we are risking one more day the Republic will counter-act once your Russian forces are forced into retreat.”<br/><br/>“Are you implying we are not strong!” the young Russian bellowed.<br/><br/>“And I am your superior officer Lechivsok!” Wen boomed in angry force, sprinting around the desk to put himself into the Russian colonel's face, “Have you not had the sense of humility bashed into your head!?<br/><br/>“Every day we wait for them to clean up their mess is another day our forward army sits idle ready to move. I wanted to be in Omsk last week, and our men on the way to taking the frontier forts in the north by now. I can't blind the Republic to the north without us striking Omsk with the force of a hammer.<br/><br/>“Air-raids and unit skirmishing will only do so much to delay or prepare the piece.”<br/><br/>“If I may speak sir,” Zhōng jiàng Yu Mann spoke softly, “Perhaps I may request the Mongolian air service assist where possible. Lighten the load, and move the last or most troubled men in the stuck units out to Chita. They could be on a train on the rail road and to Novosibirisk.<br/><br/>“Obviously, with the Trans-Siberian being so heavily damaged between Valdivosotok and Chita it's not possible to safely do it. But it's in much better condition I gather between there and here.”<br/><br/>Huei Wen sighed, backing from the retreating officer. “Very well.” he groaned, “Thank you.” he added stiffly, “You may be the only other one here with brains.”<br/><br/>“Well it's no longer cold sir,” Mann added, “And the air conditioning works.”<br/><br/>“That it does.”<br/><br/><b> (West of) Novosibirsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>The grumble of tanks rumbled even on at night, but not a light was shone. Instead in the distance behind them glowed the city of Novosibirisk. Not as a great metropolis like Shanghai, or metropolitain Hong Kong. It was low suppressed glow. A sleepy orange laid down behind the trees. The golden spots of distant cars crawled along the roads. But none coming towards them.<br/><br/>No traffic west.<br/><br/>Li Tsung sat perched on the shell of the rumbling, idle tank. A distance off by a burning barrel Shan Sung stood with his commanders and some of their crew. Talking and laughing together. Tsung watched them, feeling distant and left out. He didn't know these men. And they didn't know him. So they stood at their barrels, smoking cigarettes together and telling jokes. But the tanks were too loud to for him to hear.<br/><br/>It felt, lonely. He had barely been here a few hours and he still didn't know what was going on. Fully that is. He heard the planes over head enough tirelessly sweeping westward or returning to base. He knew a war was starting. But when it was for him, that was another thing. It made butterflies in is stomach. Ants. He felt... knotted and cold. Ahead was a big mystery, with mysterious people.<br/><br/>Back at his old base, as cold and miserable as it was, he at least knew people Uygur and Han alike. Now Russians had been thrown in, and wet, still cold weather.<br/><br/>He shivered under his coat. He hadn't been allowed to leave his tank. They were on standby for something. But it just felt like they were idling forever. He gave a tired sigh, pulling his legs in and sitting hunched over his new home.<br/><br/>He could have stared down at the hexagonal, sharp, boxy turret of the tank for hours, lulling himself into a trance to spend the time. But as he drifted off, there came a soft metallic knock. Tsung looked up and over. Wi Hui leaned up along side the metal carapace of the tank, a wrench in his hand. “Comrade.” he said. In the dim light he smiled a bit around the word, like he thought it was a joke, “Having fun?” he asked.<br/><br/>“I- I don't know.” Tsung said confused.<br/><br/>“Huh...” Hui grunted, looking at him up and down, “Want to go get warm?” he asked, nodding to the fire.<br/><br/>“I'm not sure if I should...” replied the young soldier, his voice chirping with subtle fear.<br/><br/>“I guess not.” Hui shrugged, “Some of us have to keep close to the tanks. Can you make room?”<br/><br/>“Oh, yeah Yeah. Sorry.” Tsung said, shuffling over across the top of the turret. Wi Hui clambered up, sliding atop the turret and joining him looking out into the dark horizon. Tsung noticed he was finally in a coat.<br/><br/>“So,” Tsung began, trying to force his words around the rock in his throat, “How long have you been a part of this?” he asked.<br/><br/>Hui looked at him and smiled. “You want to know how long I've been in this shit can?” he asked, reaching into his coat pocket for a cigarette.<br/><br/>Tsung shrugged indifferently.<br/><br/>“Well,” he started, lighting his cigarette, “I should be going on three years now.” he remarked, “I was the lieutenant's first transfer in when he was still a sergeant.”<br/><br/>“Oh...” Tsung nodded.<br/><br/>“Now, can I ask you a reasonably sound question?” Hui posed.<br/><br/>“Yeah?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“Can you drive an 80-series?” he asked, “I've known some poor bastard crews who got someone who could only drive the 70-series of Tei Gui. Not these new ones.”<br/><br/>“Oh, well yes. I can.”<br/><br/>“Good, good.” Hui smiled around his cigarette, slowly looking up into the star-filled sky, “Then I have a feeling you'll do well.”"

A gentle breeze caused the flags mounted on the sides of almost every building to flutter, as people sitting behind rope and police on the sidewalks waved arms and hats over the threshold, trying to get the attention of the black convertible driving down it.<br/><br/>Standing up in the back of the vehicle was a man in a suit and top hat, just slightly over fifty. Short, peppered hair stuck out from above round ears, matching the large, overgrown eyebrows that sat atop a pair of wizened blue-green eyes. A large, porous nose between them seemed to hang on to a wiry mustache, which, in turn, held up a well-kept pointed beard.<br/><br/>As this man smiled and waved back to the crowds, their enthusiasm only grew, making the police's job of holding them back just that much more difficult. They, however, didn't seem to mind for this man. After all, he was the leader of their glorious nation, who had promised to restore it to it's former glory.<br/><br/>Today was the official anniversary of the day that Owen Pyke took control of the nation, following the famous Price scandal-the attempt by Martin Price to install a socialist agenda into the country.<br/><br/>Being such an important day to the people of Britain, it was declared a national holiday, and one of the few days that the factories weren't being worked. So people actually were able to get out of bed and breath in the fresh air, lending more to the reason for the excitement.<br/><br/>Once the car reached the end of it's trail, it stopped, and Pyke stepped out of the vehicle, and up onto a large stage that had been constructed. He looked out as those who had been further down the road steadily flowed in, waiting patiently for them all to arrive before he spoke. Finally, when the stream of people had slowed to a trickle, he began.<br/><br/>“Hello, my fellow people!” he began. “And thank you for being here today! I am happy to be here with you, especially on a day as nice as today! It seems like luck smiles on us, seeing as we have a bright and sunny day, today, of all days. Wouldn't you agree?<br/><br/>The question was met with cheering that took over a minute to die down.<br/><br/>“Now... I know that all of you aren't here just for a thank you. You are all here because of the promise that I made you all last year. The promise that, within a years time, the restoration project would begin, correct?”<br/><br/>Again, the question was met with boisterous applause.<br/><br/>Laughing, Pyke raised his hands, moving them in a vertical motion to calm the crowd. “Well, then. It is my pleasure to announce that, thanks to the hard work from all of you, from the British people... Our dream will soon be a reality. I can't divulge specific details just yet, but, know this. Soon, we will rise. Britain has been dormant for far too long. Soon, we will wake, and remind the world just who it was that owned so much of it for so long. We will have to start out small, but I promise you! Soon, Britain will return to be the center of the world stage!”<br/><br/>One more time, there was applause, loudest as it had been yet.<br/><br/>“But, know this. It will not be an easy task. Sacrifices will have to be made, and this will not be as easy as I feel many of you think it will be. However, if you truly have the will of Britain in your hearts, anything will be possible. Thank you.”<br/><br/>With that last statement, Pyke stepped down from the stage, and made his way back to the vehicle, watching as the police literally had to make a wall using their own bodies to hold the people back. Pyke couldn't help but laugh, and give them one final wave before the vehicle drove off.<br/><br/>In the back seat of the vehicle, Pyke grinned, as he spoke indirectly to the others inside.<br/><br/>“The fires in their hearts have been lit, which in turn, will light the fires in the factories tomorrow. A motivated people are an unstoppable force, that will give anything to see their dream come true. This is how we will succeed. We may not be as powerful as the Spanish, or as proud as the Prussians, but we have a will stronger than any other. The British people have been shamed, and they know it. To erase that from their hearts... They will do whatever it takes. And that is how we shall achieve our goal. We are a people united under a dream, and we will not let anyone prevent our dream from coming true.”"

Inside, only a few people milled about quietly, reflecting on something or another. Two soldiers ate in silence at the back, one with a large bandage over his chest. The mood was more subdued than the parades outside. Only a teenaged girl ran the desk, with everyone else having taken the day off. She wiped down surfaces absentmindedly, listening to a quiet, crackling radio ecstatically narrate the parades in the streets of Yerevan. Abbasian followed his mother in, ducking under the short clearance of the door and stepping behind her as she went. Quickly, she ushered Abbasian and his sister to a nearby table, and proceeded to let the waitress know that they were there. Seconds later, Abbasian pulled a chair for his mother, sitting her down properly before taking his own seat. There, they looked at each other in silence before Abbasian's mother sighed. ""It's good to see everyone home,"" she announced, looking at the two soldiers discussing something in the rear.<br/><br/>""Me, too. I'm going to get out of the Army and I'm going to work on the ranch and I'm going to be as happy as can be,"" proclaimed the son with a smirk.<br/><br/>""Get out of the Army?"" his sister asked suddenly. ""But you could be a general! They have all those fancy bits of ribbon and medals.""<br/><br/>""Not quite,"" chuckled Abbasian. ""See, I'd have to stay in for a long time until I was as old as mother. Older, even.""<br/><br/>""Then why don't you, Haroud?"" inquired the young girl, playing with her butter knife.<br/><br/>""Because truthfully,"" Abbasian whispered, leaning in closer to his sister's ear. ""The Army is kind of silly.""<br/><br/>She giggled softly. ""Why? I thought it was full of big tough men. They aren't silly. They're serious.""<br/><br/>""Well,"" the soldier explained, ""it turns out that when you get a bunch of big, tough men to fight lots of battles, they need to be kept track of. Some of them aren't smart enough to stay in the same town for more than a day without someone telling them they can't.""<br/><br/>""Our dog used to escape a lot!"" offered Abbasian's sister. ""But now he's old...""<br/><br/>""Well, I won't say that they're dogs, but Army men are prone to running off. We even get tags like a dog gets on their collar, to let everyone know who we are."" Abbasian reached beneath his telnyashka to pull out his dogtags. He quickly slipped them over his head and placed them in his sister's hand.<br/><br/>""So they can return you when you're naughty and you run away?"" giggled his sister.<br/><br/>""Exactly!"" exclaimed Abbasian. ""And because some soldiers are silly like that, they make me write a bunch of papers for everything so they know what I'm doing all the time. I had to write my name on six different papers to get some clothes!""<br/><br/>""But you can just buy some at the store."" Abbasian's sister put down her knife, and looked over to her mother. She was chuckling, too, watching her son try to explain bureaucracy.<br/><br/>""Not in the Army. We get them for free. Sorta. It's hard to explain.""<br/><br/>By this time, the waitress had arrived with a menu. Her black hair spilled over her shoulders as she beamed a smile at the young soldier who was home. Abbasian had found service workers to be kind to the men and women of the armed forces. It was, as the government said, their patriotic duty to support them. She asked for a round of drinks to start, with Abbasian ordering coffee, his mother tea, and his sister some fruit juice. A few minutes later the drinks arrived, and Abbasian went to cautiously sip at his coffee. It turned out that it was way better than anything he had drank in Erzurum's theater. The flavor actually surprised him, and he stopped immediately for fear of being overwhelmed. It was too strong for his taste. His mother laughed at him. ""Haroud, are you not used to true Armenian coffee?""<br/><br/>""Not anymore,"" admitted Abbasian as he stirred the coffee with his spoon. ""They stuff they gave us in our rations was bland. Only good for a quick buzz.""<br/><br/>""And this?""<br/><br/>""Well, this is very, very strong. Wow. I can't wait to actually eat something that isn't canned stew either.""<br/><br/>""Pick anything you want. I have money.""<br/>""Well, it looks like today is a feast day,"" cried Abbasian, rubbing his hands together. Any excuse to have food was a good one. Especially his first meal after deployment. So for that, he chose a dish of msov byoreks. The little pastries were filled with minced meats and lightly spiced: something to excite his senses after months of bland rations. A few minutes later when the bowl arrived, he dug in with the ferocity of a man starved for several weeks - someone who, in essence, he was. His mother ate a modest salad while his sister didn't order anything because she had eaten a street vendor's schwarma earlier. Instead, she occasionally stole some of Abbasian's byoreks with a cheeky smile. Abbasian didn't mind, even if the same offense often led to battles involving lead pipes with his buddies on the front. Their lunch was quick and sweet, with the family sharing various stories and laughs. Abbasian's mother paid the bill as she promised, before the trio got up to leave. Abbasian's sister got all of the complementary mints, eating them with glee as she skipped behind her brother. When they exited into the alley that housed the cafe, they were surprised to see celebrators lined up on the road to their right. Figuring that it was worth an investigation, Abbasian dragged his mother towards the crowds.<br/><br/>They pierced through the mob of people dressed in their finest clothes, past a few sailors wearing their floppy berets, and eventually made it to the police barricade at the edge of a sidewalk. A policeman, stray bits of confetti stuck in his dark green uniform, smiled as he patrolled the line. Offering a quick hello, Abbasian turned to watch a pickup truck drive past with two giant Armenian flags streaming from the bed. The students who held them cheered and pumped their fists in the air, throwing out candies to the various children gathered around. Then, beyond the corner, Abbasian saw what he instinctively recognized as a Polish IFV peek out from a turn. It was an armored detachment seeking to join the main parade heading to Republican Square. Watching the metal beast lumber slowly towards them, Abbasian recognized a familiar blonde man straddling the barrel. Upon closer inspection, he wore only his telnyashka to reveal bulging muscles underneath. It was Igor Zokarski. Abbasian, beginning to wave, stopped himself. ""Igor! Igor! Igor Zokarski!"" he shouted.<br/><br/>Zokarski, waving and throwing flowers and confetti, failed to notice. ""Who's that?"" asked Abbasian's mother from behind.<br/><br/>""A buddy,"" answered Abbasian. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind. Would the policeman mind if he were to jump the fence? ""Igor!"" he repeated.<br/><br/>As the tank drew closer, Zokarski noticed the jumping man in front of him. At first thinking that he was a celebrator, he primed his throwing arm to deliver some confetti in his general direction. But then he saw the familiar face - the crooked nose and pale lips that could only belong to Haroud Abbasian. Eyes widened in ecstatic surprise, he shouted back: ""Haroud! Holy shit, brother!""<br/><br/>The tank approached, driver being showered with flowers from bystanders. He waved and paid no attention to Abbasian. Zokarski, meanwhile, leaned down from the barrel: ""Jump on! Join us!""<br/><br/>""I have my family!"" Abbasian replied, looking back to his mother.<br/><br/>""Is your mom<i>desantniki</i>?"" laughed Zokarski. ""I'm sure she can learn!""<br/><br/>""If you had enough space for everyone's mothers you'd be full!""<br/><br/>""Shut up and hop on!""<br/><br/>Now the tank was directly in front of Abbasian, and crawling away. Looking back to his mother and sister, Abbasian urged them to come with him. The silent protest from his mother was instantly subdued as the son grabbed her lightly to persuade. He had hopped the barricade by then, picking up his little sister in his arms - now he began to tear off towards Zokarski's tank with his mother in tow. ""This is crazy!"" she shouted, picking up her skirt to run.<br/><br/>""Grab on!"" Abbasian ordered, ignoring her protests. In the back, one of the wildly grinning soldiers reached out to take Abbasian's sister. The tank moved slowly enough that it was possible to grab onto the handrails and hoist up. His mother, on the other hand, needed some help. Using hand signals, Abbasian convinced a soldier to open the rear doors. They flung open to reveal two men with their arms outstretched. ""Come on!"" they laughed maniacally. ""We have you!""<br/><br/>Abbasian's mother, still unsure, leaped into the tank's cabin. The doors closed behind her, and seconds later her head poked through an open roof hatch where she was helped up to sit on the side with the rest of the soldiers. Abbasian, still jogging behind the tank, managed to grab a hold to the handrail and pull himself up to meet with Zokarski himself. They wordlessly exchanged machismo backslaps and handshakes before Abbasian decided to pose heroically on the turret. One of the soldiers produced a sword, inexplicably, from the cabin, and handed it to Abbasian. He held it high, like a conquering general. Behind them, the policeman who had been patrolling the barricade paid no attention. Now the parade element was en route, ready for the full thing. Abbasian, as he quickly found, would be right at the center of it.<br/><br/><b>Sevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>Private First Class George Yaglian's military service was similarly almost over, but not quite. He gathered all of his things off of a green leather seat on the Yerevan-Sevan train route, and hopped off onto the steamy platform. It was a few weeks past the celebrations, and Sevan could be seen glittering even from the train station. New buildings, built to accommodate the new workers who were streaming in by the hundreds to work on the infrastructure such as the Hrazdan River Dam and the planned Azerbaijani oil pipeline, had arisen within the city limits. On the mountainous coast far in the distance, the lights from the affluent seaside resorts and mansions twinkled delicately. The vibrant city had always been known for its excellent tourism, but now Sevan was beginning to take on a new meaning. New jobs, new vibrancy, flooded into the city by the day. Workers and soldiers, looking for a place to spend their money, had funded the growth of a fledgling casino industry. Over the years, neon lights had popped up around the seaside district, and quickly the place became known for gambling and sin rather than restful relaxation. All manner of vices could be indulged in, from drugs to prostitutes to binge drinking. But with the influx of all these new people came the melting pot of culture.<br/><br/>Yaglian was enamored by the musical sensations coming out of the city. He held a certain romanticism about the town - the city that indeed never slept. Despite the fact that the quasi-legal drugs had brought the mob to power in the city, Yaglian thought of it highly for some reason. Armenians, Artsakh and Nakhchivan Azeris, Georgians, Caucasians, Russians, Greeks, Syrians, and even Turks all populated the rapidly growing city. Their cultures mixed and flowed, bringing enemies together and melding them into something new. Yaglian had tried as hard as he could to get his change of station to Joint Base Sevan Lake, where he would be guarding hangars on special duty with Air Force security. Not only a change of job from the boring frontier of Georgia, but an opportunity to make it big. This was where anyone could make themselves: Yaglian had brought his voice and his saxophone, and he was seeking others to be with him for the journey ahead. Maybe he wouldn't end up reenlisting at the end of his term, because he'd be a celebrity. But one could only hope, and Yaglian sometimes thought that he was simply being naive. Those thoughts, however, were usually drowned out by imaginary crowds cheering for him. So he stepped out of the station with all of his worldly possessions in his duffel bag to hail a cab to the base. The weekend would allow him to get situated in the barracks before Monday's shift.<br/><br/>Music was Yaglian's destiny, or so he told himself. It was the one thing he knew how to do in life. As he stared out of the windows of the cab, totally in awe of the flashing lights and music from city-wide loudspeakers, he wondered if lady luck would smile upon him. He sure hoped it would."

The captain had dragged second company out of the base and decided they would go for a run, with full gear, in the desert. Half the men were leaning over and wheezing, with the other half barely breathing through gulps of lukewarm water. They had just gotten back to the base, and were now lined up in formation in front of the captain, who was pacing back and forth impatiently. He began to wave a fresh bottle of cold water in the air, his head turning to look at the crowd of exhausted soldiers.<br/><br/>“Anybody? Anybody at all?” The captain repeated.<br/><br/>Lee stands 175cm tall (5’9) and weighs 82kg (180lb). The man may not have been very tall, but he was stout, broad shouldered man. His dark black, straight hair is always cut down to regulation length. The captain’s tanned forehead was glistening with sweat as he glared at the gathered mob. Anthony had run with the men as well, carrying his own gear. Yet he was the only one who didn’t look as if they were about to fall over and die. Of course, Anthony was the only one ranked over first lieutenant. He also had the longest military track record. He had a couple of years on all of them, though.<br/><br/>One of the men, a round headed and round bellied young man, raised his head as he approached the captain. He saluted the captain.”Corporal Antis? Well, mate. I can’t say I’m surprised you’d be first.” The captain smiled. The corporal gave the captain his own toothy smile, and stood at attention. The small Mohawk that adorned the corporal’s head was uncovered when Antis removed his helmet. This was the third run in three days, and each one ended in the captain taunting the men with cold water. Lee even offered to give it to the man who could take it from him. No one had, yet. This was Antis’ third time trying, as well. Antis leaped towards the captain, aiming to tackle him. Lee avoided with ease, shoving Antis to the ground and stepping on his back.<br/><br/>”Your mighty strong, corporal, but you’re as dumb as a brick.” The captain teased his trooper.<br/><br/>“Now!” Three men shouted out in unison.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the captain found his legs being dragged out from under him, and his face hitting the grass. The bottle had been snatched from his hands, and he could hear the combined cheering of four men.”Harris! Thompson! Antis! Wilson! Fall in!” The captain shouted, standing up. The four men scrambled forward, getting into a line. The captain stood there for a moment, just glaring at them. The Anthony smiled, and nodded to the men.”Good work.” The captain turned around, and the soldiers were beginning to cheer again.”Oh.” Anthony interrupted.”And you all have kitchen duty tonight.” The men groaned, and the captain returned to the front of the formation.<br/><br/>“Captain Lee! Captain Lee!” A man dressed in combat fatigues came running out of a building towards the captain.”What is it?” The captain asked.”Brigadier O’Connell requests all commissioned officers in the command center immediately!” The captain nodded, and began to jog over towards the command center. Whatever this was, it seemed serious.<br/><br/>As the captain entered the command center, he noticed that everyone was gathered around a large television set. Lee moved over towards them, between two Lieutenants.”What’s goin’ on?” Lee asked, taking a seat.”The Prime Minister of Britain is giving a speech, mate!” One of them whispered excitedly.<br/><br/><b> Canberra, Australia – Twenty minutes after the Prime Minster’s speech </b><br/><br/>Currently, the Australian Senate was having the most heated debate since its founding. The senate has always been considered the more docile of the two houses of parliament, however today both of them were equally as loud. The Governor-General sat in his throne behind the president’s chair, watching the senate verbally attack its’ self. The President of the Senate was attempting to gain control, yelling and furiously banging his gavel. Chapman ran a hand through his short, wavy blonde hair, ruining the styling his intern had attempted to give him for the occasion. As soon as he heard the announcement of an emergency meeting, he knew there wouldn’t be time for pictures.<br/><br/>“Enough!” Governor-General Chapman screamed at the top of his lungs. His loud, commanding voice usually accustomed to a battlefield was easily heard and recognized by all, and the fighting died down instantly.”You are the men and women who run this country.” Chapman began, standing up and starting to move down to the floor.”Yet you sit here and bicker and scream like children! You’ve done this every time the subject is brought up!” Mark spoke loud and clear, his piercing blue eyes patrolling the senators. Being six feet and two inches tall, Chapman could see everyone as he walked.<br/><br/>“There’s a reason the Kingdom of Australia was overthrown. The people demanded it. They’ve been rebelling since Australia became sovereign!” The Governor-General stopped in front of the president’s seat, turning to face the senate.”Quiet yourselves, and cast your votes like civilized people. Will you?” With that, the Governor-General returned to his seat and the casting began.<br/><br/>After about forty minutes, the casting was finished. The senate had voted to request to rejoin the British Empire officially, having overcome them by a small margin. The House of Representatives took far longer to settle down and vote, however they eventually voted, coming to the same conclusion as the senate. So the Governor-General drafted a letter to be sent to the Prime Minster of the former British Empire, and had the Australian representatives present in England write the letter and have it sent to the British.<br/><br/>The letter reads:<br/><br/><i> Dear Prime Minister Owen Pyke,<br/><br/>I would like to formally thank you, as representative for the Commonwealth of Australia, for your tremendous efforts in re-establishing the mighty British Empire. We, the people of Australia, have long stridden to rebuild the once mighty nation that has survived so many years. War has been fought over the right for the British to rule us, even though your once great nation was in shambles. But you have rebuilt that nation’s homeland. So now, we the people, wish to be the first to willingly join the British Empire as a commonwealth. <br/> -Sincerely,<br/> <br/> Governor-General Mark Chapman </i>"

Waving arcs of orange light swirled across the polished contours of the cars as they cruised under the glowing lamps swarming with flying bugs. Baggage buggies and stair cars were parked in rows for the night along lines painted onto the pavement, around which the five cars swerved in wide curves. The procession drove alongside the facades of white-painted cinderblock hangars built on the fringe of the airport grounds. The towering outbuildings were featureless save of course for the retractable overhead doors tall and wide enough to swallow all but the very largest of aircraft. The only means of distinguishing one hangar from another was a pairing of letters and numbers painted great bold letters against the whitewashed walls. Alongside a hangar identifiable as ""C2"", the line of cars eased to a halt in front of the jointed doorway.<br/><br/>A handful of bored, suit-clad goons who had previously busied themselves kicking at the defiant tufts of weeds growing against the hangar's exterior did their best to seem official as the motorcade bearing Alfonso Sotelo drove before them. One knocked against the window of the first vehicle and gestured for identification from the driver. Satisfied with the brownish-pink card the driver produced, the leader gave the men guarding the hangar a thumbs-up, prompting them to push the gate up. As the gate yawned open, the middlemost car spun its wheels and turned gently inside the hangar.<br/><br/>The interior of the aircraft was nearly as spartan as the the exterior. The squeaking of the smooth concrete underneath the wheels echoed within the cavernous space. Save for some metal shelving near the walls and another gaggle of<i>Inteligencia Militar</i>agents, the hangar contained only a single aircraft. The plane was a robust cargo aorcraft of civilian make, bearing a propeller pod on each wing. A wheel-bound staircase had been rolled up to the cockpit, from whence another member of the Republic's spy network descended. In unison, the doors of the sedan popped open as he stepped out of the cabin.<br/><br/>""Your Excellency, it's my pleasure to reintroduce you to a long-lost acquaintance."" The agent-deputy called across the hangar with a wide smile beaming across his face.<br/><br/>""Zuraban is on the plane?"" Sotelo asked indifferently as he straightened the wrinkles out of his suit upon exiting the car and approached the stairs. The agent nodded approvingly.<br/><br/>""Take me to him.""<br/><br/>As promised, Julio Zuraban - the former senator of the Spanish Republic - sat bowed over a metal bench bolted to the plane's interior fuselage. The dim lighting of the hangar radiated in through round glass portholes, providing Prime Minister Sotelo just enough light to see the Zuraban's bruise-mottled face. The last two months had not been kind to him.<br/><br/>""Señor Zuraban."" Sotelo greeted with a patronizing maliciousness. The exiled senator's eyes twinkled in the gloom as they followed the approaching Prime Minister. Sotelo's footfalls reverberated through the dark fuselage as metallic clacks against the floor. ""I have wondered for the longest time what precisely became of you. The circumstances of your disappearance were quite bizarre. I must say, your criticism of my policy toward communist regimes was in poor taste. But before you could even be questioned on the matter, it was as if you had vanished into thin air."" Sotelo stopped a few feet in front of the bench and stooped down onto one knee and coming to eye-level with Zuraban.<br/><br/>""I will admit, you had the<i>Oficina</i>concerned, Señor Zuraban. You were quite a liability; there was a fear that you had defected to the Chinese and their... Comintern."" Sotelo explained venomously, as if it pained him to even mention the international communist association. ""But now we are met once again, perhaps now you can recount what it is you have been doing over the past three years.""<br/><br/>""I wouldn't be to hopeful about that, Excellency. He's been extremely uncooperative with us, even after we applied persuasive techniques."" Sotelo examined the fugitive senator's face once again now that he had acquired better visual acuity in the dim light. Scabby cuts and gashes nicked Zuraban's face, surrounded by deep purple and maroon bruises. His left eye socket had been blackened and had swollen profusely. ""But from what the Ottoman magistrate in Port Fuad provided us and what the agency was able to find on him, he has quite the story to tell when we do get him to speak.""<br/><br/>""I was told he was found in Egypt prior to the fall of the Sultan."" Sotelo returned to his feet and turned to the agent-deputy. ""What was he doing there, of all places?""<br/><br/>""He had been incarcerated by local law enforcement in Port Fuad, Egypt, when the agency discovered his whereabouts. It seems our Zuraban had been living under the pseudonym ""Florian Anoeta"" as some sort of war correspondent, photographing conflicts for a French publication. We've found he's been to Armenia, Istanbul, Ethiopia, the Congo, and more. But what's more interesting is how he came into Ottoman custody. They had implicated our very own Julio Zuraban in assisting a number of fugitives in escaping by closing a drawbridge into an Ottoman warship during the Ethiopian Invasion in addition to a count of grand theft auto.""<br/><br/>""This man - Julio Zuraban?"" Sotelo asked incredulously. The agent nodded.<br/><br/>""The plot gets thicker yet. The<i>Oficina</i>did some digging of its own during the implosion of the Ottoman Empire. We found that the Ottoman Empire had taken custody of one Taytu Yohannes prior to their invasion of Ethiopia. She had been liberated by what we perceive to be Walinzi operators - members of Ethiopia's military police of sorts. Now, here's where it gets very interesting: Julio here was arrested not half a kilometer from the very building from which the Señora Yohannes had been been freed.""<br/><br/>""You believe, then, that he acted in concert as part of some covert foray by the Ethiopian military?""<br/><br/>""That is a distinct possibility."" The agent confirmed. ""As bizarre as it may sound, we cannot come up with a more plausible scenario given the circumstances. Until we can get him to speak - and trust me when I say we will - this is what-""<br/><br/>""You want to hear what I know?"" Julio croaked. Abruptly, Sotelo and the<i>Oficina</i>agent turned to hear him. ""I have nothing to do with the Walinzi or the Chinese or anyone else. I'm not some spy or agent provocateur. All that I have done for the past three years of my life is avoid you and your insane regime.""<br/><br/>""What I do know is this: I've traveled all over this world - particularly over these recent years. The world is a diverse place of different peoples but I can speak for all of them when I say this. The people of the world - Spaniards included - despise you, Alfonso. The world is tiring of your aggression and they will not stand for it much longer. But it won't be you that feels the brunt of their cathartic rage. It is the people of this country, the vast majority of them innocents caught up in the deluded nightmare that is your rule, that will die by the millions when China, Africa, and Europe find they have been provoked one time too many. You will be the death of Spain, Alfonso. That much I know.""<br/><br/>""Well now,"" The agent smirked. ""I believe that's the most anyone's heard out of him since we took custody of him."" Beside him, Sotelo quivered with escalating rage. His arms shook until he could stand it no longer. A trembling arm reached for the agent's holster and tore the pistol out by the handle, eliciting a worried shout from the agent. Sotelo approached Julio and pressed the muzzle of the pistol into his forehead, producing little in the way of fear from the former senator. Even as a twitching thumb found the safety and disengaged it with a soft click, Julio offered no response.<br/><br/>""Please, your Excellency. Please just give me the gun back."" The agent pleaded.<br/><br/>""Why should I not kill him now?"" Alfonso growled. ""Why should I not spare your agency the effort of interrogation? Let me put this bullet in his head!""<br/><br/>""Please, just listen to me. Calm down, take a deep breath..."" The agent inhaled loudly, trying to persuade Sotelo to do the same but also trying to calm himself down. ""If you kill him, we'll never know if he's actually colluded with the communists. We have ways of making him tell the truth. Please just put the gun down.""<br/><br/>""He knows nothing!"" Repined Sotelo, pressing the barrel down between Julio's eyes. ""You heard it from him!""<br/><br/>""The means we have of forcing the truth from a man are tortuous to say the least. When we finish with with him, he will wish you had killed him now. I think he realizes this, I think he may want for you to kill him. Don't give him what he wants, Excellency.""<br/><br/>With a grimace, Alfonso turned the gun in his hand and held it by the muzzle. With a deft swing he clubbed the handle of the pistol against Julio's temple, eliciting a pained yelp as he tumbled down to the floor groaning in agony and massaging the side of his head. Satisfied with the throbbing pain he had inflicted, Sotelo placed the handle of the gun into the agent's palm, who eagerly safetied it and returned it to his holster.<br/><br/>""Thank you, Excellency."" The agent sighed. ""You made the smart decision. Once he's at Arratzu, he's going to<i>beg</i>for someone to kill him.""<br/><br/>""See that he does."""

This base was located in a flat grassy land of Serbia. Two APCs were in the front and back of a long black limosoune. It windows were tinted, but inside was Alexsandar. He was coming to this military base to meet with one of the Serbian Generals. The base came into view, soldiers could be seen preforming there daily drills and barracks and others buildings scattered about the base.<br/><br/>Alexsandar grabbed his head as he felt a headache coming on. He ignored it, as there was important buisnesss to be done here and no time to complain about a small headache. The limosoune finally entered the military base, and Alexsandar had a more clear view of the military base itself. The marching of soldiers could be heard not to far away. Most of the buildings looked realtively new, as if they had only been recently constructed. The largest was a big green builded with a rounded roof, most likely the barracks. A few grey garrages could be seen off in the distance, near another entrance to a base. Most of the base was gray pavement, with a few fields of grass here and there.<br/><br/>Alexsandar headed towards what looked like a small mobile white building. It had windows that had been shuttered, blocking the view of its inside from outside. Alexsandar stepped up and entered the small building.<br/><br/>The building was a single room and wasn't furnished, only holding a desk and a few filing cabinets. A tall man was observing a map of Serbia and the surrounding countries. On that map were various plastic soldiers, showing the planned movements of the Serbian Military when reunifacation came.<br/><br/>""Gordan! It is nice to see you. I hope you knew I was coming today."" said a happy Alexsandar<br/><br/>Gordan Dusko looked up at Alexsandar. He was wearing a military cap and a standard military cammo outfit. He had various pins and symbols on his outfit to represent his rank as general. He took off his cap revealing that he was in fact bald. Like most Serbians his face appeared to be flattened, he had a sharp chin and cheekbones, giving his face a angled look.<br/><br/>""I did not. I only recieved word when a soldier saw your little escort coming up the road"" replied Gordan.<br/><br/>""I have come to discuss a few plans with you. I have decided the sooner we move to reunite Yugoslavia the better."" chatted Alexsandar.<br/><br/>""My forces have been ready for years. I can tell you we will have no problems with getting the troops to move. The Nationlism we have drilled into them will make them obey are every word.""<br/><br/>""What about the intial plans? We are still moving for Bosnia first then I presume""<br/><br/>""Yes we are. Our navy is not as strong as I like it to be. We have to move for those first as a naval assualt of Crotia or the region that once made of Slovenia is out of the question.""<br/><br/>Alexsandar suddenly felt his headache amplified a bit. He noticed strange shapes and colors, as if he was hallucinating. He had suffered form this most of his life. It had started with headaches and then he have halluciantions. He gave himself a minute to recover before speaking to Gordan again.<br/><br/>""Sorry Gordon, I just have felt a bit sick lately. Begin preparing yourself, as soon as you move out I will tell the other Commanders and Generals aswell, along with making the offical declaration of war to Bosnia."" said Alexsandar<br/><br/>""I will move out as soon as possible Alexsandar."" replied Gordon.<br/><br/>Alexsandar left the building and headed back to his limousine. His headaches were still plaguging him, but he felt good. It had been his goal since he took controll of Serbia to see it grow, and reunite with the former countries of Yugoslavia once again. Soon he though, very soon.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Gordon's Speech</span><br/><br/>Gordon watched as Alexsandar left. He was ready to begin. He had longed to see Yugoslavia reunited once again since the last years of Bojan's rule and all throughout Alexsandar's rule.<br/><br/>While not officialy the Supreme Commander of the Serbian Military, that title was held by Alexsandar, Gordon was recgonized as one of the greatest military minds in Serbia. Alexsandar trusted him with commmand of most of Serbia's military when it was needed.<br/><br/>He stepped out of his office and walked across the pavement to a small raised wooden platform. He had had it built for when he needed to give a speech to his men. He told his commanders to round up everyone for a speech. He saw the crowd of soldiers gather before him and he spoke.<br/><br/>""It has been a long time since we left Yugoslavia, and its collaspe due to it silly way of running a economy. Alexsandar has recently informed me that we will soon march upon those lands and countries that make up Yugoslavia, we will reunite with them once again! I tell you this so that you can prepare as we march out tomorrow! Once we begin we will be joined by the rest of Serbia's Great military. So prepare my men, so that we march out in a great conquest to restore the glory of Yugoslavia and Serbia!""<br/><br/>Cheer raised throughout the crowd of soldiers. All was going well, though Gordon. He gathered his commanders and began discussing there plans, for it wouldn't be long now.<br/><br/>//This post is considered non-canonical </div>"

Locks shattered, they hit the carpeted floor with a heavy crack. A pair of coated men stepped through, done away with their barrier.<br/><br/>“We should be quick then, someone's bound to find out.” the shorter man said, Chinese. Shan Jun.<br/><br/>“Agreed.” his burly Russian companion grunted, “Remind me what we're looking for again.”<br/><br/>“Anything that confirms this is the home of the guy we want, and who it is he's working for.” grumbled Jun, not at all amused with his mission partner's inability to retain memory, “Letters, papers, photos. Makulov ordered us to get enough to get a portfolio going, and trusted that bit to Ulanhu when we get back.<br/><br/>“If we find anything that suggests what they're doing - or where Bog is – then better.”<br/><br/>“I see.” the Russian nodded, walking across the floor. His boots falling heavily on the carpet of the penthouse.<br/><br/>Much of it was cordoned off by yellow tape and spent cigarette butts littered the ground and tables. A sure sign the already strained police services of the city had been here to perform their investigation. But with any luck, Jun hoped he'd be out of the city by the time they figured anything out.<br/><br/>“Hey comrade, you want and music?” the Russian called out in a playful tone. Jun looked up and saw him standing alongside a rather large radio set up. Brass adorned the wood paneling along the joints and the face of the shoulder-high device. A chrome antenna rose out of the back of the arced, paneled crown.<br/><br/>“No, leave it off.” Jun barked.<br/><br/>“Suit yourself.” the Russian shrugged, moving from the radio to rummage through end tables and cabinets.<br/><br/>The penthouse living room was large, larger than many of the homes in the village Jun and his partner had found Makulov and his army taking up residence in. Thickly woven Persian rugs lay across shaggy green carpet, and on top of these large bear hides had been laid out.<br/><br/>Leather upholstered lounge chairs and couches rung around a central coffee table. A vodka bottle stood at the corner of the table alongside a dozen cigarette trays all filled. Various magazines – entertainment and pornographic – covered the surface, creating a messy matting all its own. Reaching out with a winter-gloved hand Jun cautiously moved aside the stacked booklets, looking for any hidden letters. But non manifested between the covers of magazines whose covers were richly adorned with the large supple tits of Russian maidens or smiling Spanish celebrities.<br/><br/>“You know comrade,” Jun's partner said from the far-side of the room, “To be this rich at such a time in mighty Russia's history should be condemnable by law.” he proclaimed, “Families starve now and still there are those who will sap what meager resources we got less and bring our lands even more dry!”<br/><br/>“You find anything?” Jun asked in response.<br/><br/>“Shopping lists and an address book.” his partner scoffed. Holding up a fistful of crumpled papers and a large, black notebook.<br/><br/>“Keep the book, we'll look it over when we get back home.”<br/><br/>“Good to see our cozy frozen hamlet is home now!” the Russian laughed loudly. He waved the notebook at his partner with a smile before slipping it into his large flowing coat, “What new will come in this bright new world!”<br/><br/>Jun entreated him with silence as he moved aside and stepped away from the cluster of furniture. His eyes glazed over the wall where a gallery's worth of grainy black and white photographs hung, and framed newspaper clips. From the looks of it, he had a fantastic interest in the public actions of the Mafiya. Splotchy burning crosses and articles of flayed or burnt bodies found in city parks adorned his wall like prizes.<br/><br/>The Russian partner began to grumble incoherently to himself, muddled thick Russian that not even Jun could understand. He turned to find him digging through a large cabinet, throwing out a large sum of junk and baubles on the floor. Figuring he had the room covered, the Chinese spy moved to the next, hitting a door at the base of a short hall way.<br/><br/>Swinging open the door admitted him into a rather larger bedroom. The floor was still treated to the same gaudy deceleration of wealth and power – or what little the man had – with a number of rugs already on a carpeted floor. Large dressers lined a wall where a large desk and vanity mirror occupied the opposite. Between the two, a four poster bed wide enough to accommodate three persons and half a fourth sat between two heavily carpeted windows.<br/><br/>Along the side of the door were a pair or plush velvet recliners, their backs leaned far back as an end table between them sat an elaborate hookah. The spark within long extinguished, though the tobacco and weed inside still waited.<br/><br/>The bedroom had a certain vacant, longing feeling as Jun went through it, pulling open drawers and quickly piling through. Pulling out raged torn notes, then pocketing a few at the slightest suggestion of a name of affiliation. The drawers in the desk were an expected treasure trove of such details, yielding a number of personal letters received, or to be sent; though a quick scan revealed nothing telling and looked to merely be love letters to a number of female interests.<br/><br/>At the bottom of the lower most drawer Jun found a ragged dusty handgun and a box of ammo. Giving it a thought he liberated it from its home, sliding it into a pocket inside his coat and stuffing the bullets into another before pulling it out the rest of the way and checking into the empty cavity.<br/><br/>From the desk he moved to the far-side of the room, pulling open and going through the dressers there. Thick suits, and garish clothes packed the inside space. Suits and dress he found to be hiding a small armory of shotguns and assault rifles. It was nothing he could carry, or nothing that linked him to anyone, and he left them as he went to the side of the bed, peering down underneath.<br/><br/>Dark shadows obscured the clutter that hid underneath. A large number of boxes lay clustered about. But with his cheek pressed to the ground there was no way to tell if it was of use.<br/><br/>With a daring hand Jun reached out, grabbing at the edge of a box and pulling it out. It slid heavily against the carpet.<br/><br/>As it hit the light, Jun's eyes went wide and his breath caught in his mouth. An uncomfortable shocked arousal warped his stomach as the contents came into view. A raising feeling of light-headedness rose into his head as he looked down on his find. Peaking out of the box in a stiff nest of rubber, plastic, and glass was a box full of dildos, of a wide-number of colors and shapes. A feeling of repulsion washed on him as soon as he figured out what it was he was seeing, and in a fit of humiliating resignation threw the box over, spilling the the vast collection of multi-colored toys and strap-ons across the floor.<br/><br/>“Find anything?” the Russian asked as Jun stepped out of the bedroom.<br/><br/>“No.” he grumbled, taking a deep sigh, “What about you?”<br/><br/>“I got a telegram with names I found in his study, I think. Didn't think a man like him could read.”<br/><br/>“What does the letter say?” Jun asked forcefully.<br/><br/>“Brother Peterovisk,” the Russian read, walking in to Jun, “<i>Word on the heavens has come. Declares the child of the devil is in Russia. Demands information on location, and timely execution to purge the satan-child.</i><br/><br/>“V. Donotorisk.”<br/><br/>“That's all?” Jun asked, stunned.<br/><br/>“It's all.” his partner returned, folding the small yellow note to put in his pocket, “Any idea on who this devil child is?” he asked.<br/><br/>“None at all. But it's a lead on something.” said Jun, “Now we got to meet his corpse.”<br/><br/>“After you, comrade.”"

Only trash remained, littering the roads with torn streamers and soiled banners. Night had came to the African capital, but celebration still rung across the grounds of the Palatial residence of the Imperial Family. It's ground floor was packed with mingling bodies - some wearing sharp western suits or dresses trimmed to the body, while others wore the lose fitting and colorful robes of Africa. They were the important - politicians, businessmen, celebrities, and military heroes, and the Imperial treasury had spared no expense for their comfort. The several hired bars that dotted the grounds sent white-clad servants through the crowd with free liquor of all sorts. Wine, champagne, whiskey and rum... there was Ethiopian honey wine, and palm wine from the jungles in the west. Harbin Beer and dry rice wine represented the fruits of Asian trade. And when drink wasn't enough, tiny bags of white powder and acid tabs the size of fingernails were traded under tables. In the clamor, it was hard to tell who was drunk from who had taken more, and nobody cared.<br/><br/>Taytu stood on the mezzanine looking out a thick two-story tall window, one hand placed gently on the marble sill and another holding a half-empty glass of white wine. Outside, she could see the gardens - the party had poured across the porch and into the yard. Drunk women led young war heroes and aging aristocrats into the expansive mazes, gnawing at each others lips on fountain rims, or going further into the dark mix of hedges to enjoy each others company in other ways. But Taytu stood alone, her cream and gold dress feeling as cold as the blanket of an empty bed against her skin. It all reminded her of her youth in Austria where here father had sent her to study. She had been the only African, and the chill of the European Alps had been foreign to her. The elderly barons and graf's had looked at her with suspicion. A savage from a savage land - taller than most of the Germans and too swarthy to be a lady - that was what they had saw in her. The great grand daughter of a tribal mountain king who had the gall to humiliate white colonial forces at Adwa when they had been children. They had been as cold as the mountains that their castles mounted, but their children and grand children had been different. Perhaps the Austrian youth had felt the same chill, because they had rebelled against it in their way. In ski-houses and hostels, she had learned as much about socialism and liberalism as she had about alcohol and sex.<br/><br/>But that was then. A distant past that had shaped her, but something she had left behind for the responsibility of her family, her dynasty, her country, and her brother. War had torn Sahle from them, it had torn happiness from Yaqob, and it had tore at the Africa their father had built more than once. Some times, it felt like she was the only one who could pick up the pieces.<br/><br/>Beyond the gardens, beyond the drinking and the fucking, there was Addis Ababa. The city did not have the grace of Vienna, nor the wealth of Madrid or the size of Beijing. It was an unorganized spread of modernity and poverty. Towers of glass and steel poked out from behind the trees - stunted compared to what the western or eastern capitals boasted, but proud in their own way. Behind them, the dim outline of mountains stood over the city. Moonlight made them purple and obscure, but during the day they were brown and scrubby. Sahle had disappeared behind them, across the highlands and near a small lake.<i>Where is he now? Did he make it to where he wanted to go?</i>No. He had wanted to be here, on the throne. And he was probably dead.<br/><br/>She could barely remember him now. All the images they had now were of him once he had came to the throne. She was older than he had been the - he had been near thirty at coronation - but he always looked like a kid in a crown. It was the grin. He had always grinned, as if he was able to see under everyone's clothes.<i>Knowing my older brother, he probably was imagining just that.</i><br/><br/>The crash of glass shattering against the ground woke her from a trance. A broken glass. There would be apologies and a broom, and then everyone would forget about it.<br/><br/>""Princess."" a voice greeted behind her, calmer that any voice in the building. She turned and put on a politic smile.<br/><br/>It was Mvulu. The Captain of the Emperor's guard, he had succeeded Yaqob's own wife. He was a broad-shouldered man with skin the dark chocolate color of Central Africa, which contrasted with his cream-white uniform to make him look darker still. His face was scarred, as was his arms, but the worse scars were told by what he did not have. A patch of gold and white covered his left eye, and his right leg was replaced by ivory below the knee. The ivory was carved with a gold-leaf inlaid scene depicting a troop of gorillas standing proudly in a storybook jungle. It wrapped a round the entire peg, and distracted from the ugly truth behind how he had lost it. ""A gorilla took the leg."" he would say when asked, ""And a white man took the eye."" There was a story behind it all - a story built around the bloody rebellion that had ripped Katanga apart four years earlier. Mvulu had led a small group of survivors from Lubumbashi in the south and back into loyal Imperial territory - receiving his wounds as he went. His men had cut a swath through enemy territory, and he had won medals and an office as a result.<br/><br/>""They are asking for you down there."" he said politely.<br/><br/>Taytu sucked air. She enjoyed parties from time to time, but the skirmish with the Turks had left her shaken. ""Will you escort with me, Captain?"" she asked.<br/><br/>Mvulu nodded, and they went. The decent down the staircase was like climbing into a kennel - the dogs barking at each other and her.<i>That is awful,</i>she realized,<i>These people have done the world for us.</i>Why did she feel so tired of them?<br/><br/>A raucous laugh cut through the noise and caused her to look. Ras Hassan stood as solid as a wall - a crystal glass of brown liquor in one hand and men surrounded him like geese looking for bread. He was a big boned man with a gut that protruded over his belt. Taytu remembered him from her youth - the lean officer who spoke very little and whose star only rose on account of her father. Yohannes has seen the man different. He had seen the competence, and the willingness to do whatever had to be done. But he had not seen the arrogance. He did not live to hear of bloody infant arms piled behind a dirty camp. He did not live to see the man turn Yaqob into an puppet-Emperor.<i>I bet he raped Azima's mom, too.</i>It would make the most sense. There was no love in the man, nor no sentimentality. She didn't know what drove him, and that bothered her more that anything.<br/><br/>""Advisor Taytu... your imperial highness."" another voice called out. A familiar voice.<i>Can I get away from his lackeys? Why are they everywhere?</i><br/><br/>Hakim Mossadeq was the Director of the Walinzi - the Ethiopian intelligence agency that had grown out of the more domestic Home Guard of her father and grandfather. He had an Arabic look to him, with a square jaw and a shaven face stained dark by the roots of his facial hair. His hair was crisp and slicked by with grease, and his black uniform was even sharper. ""You were in Port Fuad, were you not?""<br/><br/><i>He is the damn Director of Intelligence. Of course he knows this.</i>""I try not to think about it..."" she said.<br/><br/>Mossadeq took a sip, as calm as the night. ""We picked up some communications between Egypt and Spain... nothing telling, but surely interesting. The Turkish Governor in Cairo is scrambling for anything he can find, and he has been pretty open about what information he has. Apparently he sent Spain a query about a high-level political prisoner they took from Port Fuad at the same time you were there.""<br/><br/>""They?"" she asked.<br/><br/>""Spain."" Mossadeq said. ""They haven't sent any replies. They probably won't.""<br/><br/>It all came rushing back. She had that image her brother always described, of Sotelo wringing his hands and plotting their destruction.<i>Preposterous. He is just another suit. It is the businessmen in charge of that operation.</i><br/><br/>But it came back to her all the same. The fear as they told her she was under arrest and locked the doors. The prison-like feeling of that barren cement room. The sound of battleships roaring through the water as they left the Mediterranean for the Red Sea. And the man who had saved her...<br/><br/><i>Oh god. It was him. They captured them all.</i><br/><br/>He had been a kind man - though even Hassan would have seemed kind if it was him who helped her from that window and led her out of the port. She remembered him for his rages, and his bushy beard and slurred style of speaking.<i>But he was black. And not a political prisoner. His companions had not looked better, though there had been one she hadn't seen. [i]I knew there was something there. I had felt it.</i><br/><br/>""There was one man..."" She began, describing the people she had seen. ""That is interesting."" Mossadeq stroked his chin as if it were a beard. ""But I doubt it. They sound like bums. These Egyptians seem to think there were other criminals involved.""<br/><br/><i>What on earth was I a part of?</i>She thought.<br/><br/>""I wish I could have been a fly on those sinister walls."" another voice chimed in. It was the first time Taytu had noticed him. His clothes looked like something from a different century - his jacket was long, and dark, and it had a tail. He was a dark skinned man with West-African features. He wore a bow-tie instead of the normal type, and his dress shirt was sewn from smooth silk. Though he looked healthy, he leaned casually on an ebony cane with a polished gold handle, and he wore a closely trimmed beard. Despite all of that, his hair was thick and disheveled like some wild woolen shrub.<br/><br/><i>Dr. Sisi</i>, She knew at once.<br/><br/>Doctor Babukar Sisi was Hassan's pet.<i>Or is Hassan Sisi's?</i>He was a psychiatrist from the Kinshasa, where he headed a surprisingly successful practice. But everyone knew where he had truly found his power. When Hassan's men had taken to the countryside to fight to overthrow Sahle and put Yaqob in his place, Sisi built him a supply network out of smugglers and pro-Imperials. And when the war was over, Hassan returned the favor with resources. Sisi had more pull in the Walinzi then many cared to admit, and he exercised it through classified contract work and advisory roles. Few knew what those meant, but there were many rumors. He was said to have wrote the book on torture for Walinzi interrogators. And then there were colder stories. When a crazed German emerged from the Congolese jungle a year before with a thick scar denting his head, some whispered that he had somehow been a victim of Sisi's science.<i>That man had lived on his own for years. It is no wonder he was crazy.</i>Looking into Sisi's cold, disinterested eyes gave her a creepy feeling, and his presence made her question what actually surrounded this man.<br/><br/>""I do not aspire to obtrude."" he added politely. His voice reminded her of those Barons and Grafs that had looked down on her in the Austrian Alps. ""But the realities of that scenario is... well, it engrosses me Leult... Taytu is it? Or Taytu Yohannes? I have been corrected on this point of title in the past, and I do not mean to bring offense upon your house.""<br/><br/>""Taytu Yohannes. My brother would just be Yaqob. Or Yaqob the Second, rather."" She said. Many Emperors had taken new, regal names upon their accent, but that tradition had died with their grandfather.<i>That man hated traditions.</i>Emperor Iyasu V had broken many, stripping the church of their Imperial connections and bringing foreigners in to fill the gaps left by the nobles who had opposed him. Yohannes had kept his first name, and Yaqob has continued the new style, but it was considered peculiar to add the fathers name to the name of an Emperor.<br/><br/>""That's most correct."" Sisi said, ""I forget your ways. They tack the name of the father instead of using a surname in this part of the continent. I am sure it is rather confusing to the remainder of all peoples, but each has their own methodology to be sure. I do prefer the European method of using noble houses.""<br/><br/>""Is there any house nobler then the ancestors of Sulayman?"" Mossadeq added.<br/><br/>""The House of Solomon."" Sisi mused. ""That is more prestigious than those in Europe, I confess. What that the ancestors of Augustus were still enthroned...""<br/><br/>Sisi and Mossadeq forgot about her, and she was grateful.<i>Finally</i>, she thought.<i>I should find Yaqob</i><br/><br/>The ground floor was expansive, orbiting a silver fountain topped with slate-black babies spitting water. They had looked lovely in her youth growing up in this place, but now they looked like they were puking. Her thoughts turned to Olivier, the maimed infant she had saved from the concentration camps in Katanga.<i>A gift from Hassan, the murdering bastard.</i>His arm was missing, but he had grown up with the wound to the point that it didn't seem to bother him.<br/><br/>The fountain was not the only thing to stick out in the crown. Yaqob had turned the Imperial Palace into his own personal museum. A hulking map of African hung on the wall above the part. It was carved from thick stone, and it looked heavier then the wall that supported it. Very few people lingered on the floor directly below it.<i>They are afraid they will be crushed.</i><br/><br/>Statues from Egypt and China towered above the crowd. Paintings hung from the wall, as did masks and swords and a number of other specimens, so thick that they blocked out most of the wall.<i>Most of it belongs in a museum.</i>It was a peculiar obsession for her brother to have.<br/><br/>She found him near the center of the madness, holding court amongst a few select people under the watchful eye of four Imperial guardsmen.<i>He fears assassination. He fears crowds</i>. The Spanish had seen to that. Though they never knew where the order came from in their hierarchy, it had certainly came from Spain. They had purchased killed from their own prisons and sent them half a world away to kill the Emperor. Their father had died from an assassins bullet, and her brother had nearly followed him. The wound punctured his lung, and the following infection kept it from ever healing right. He bore a scar on his breast now - a tangle of reddened tentacles reaching out from a crater of scar tissue. It made it hard for him to breath, and she knew it still hurt him more than he showed.<br/><br/>""Sister."" He said in his sad, warm voice. ""Mvulu told me you were lingering outside of the party.""<br/><br/>She smiled. ""Has your guard became your spies as well? I'm not in the mood for this party right now.""<br/><br/>He paused for a moment. She saw empathy in his eyes. ""You have not slept well.""<br/><br/>""Did Mvulu tell you that?"" She replied with a half-baked grin, but it faded when he didn't return it. ""I thought I was going to die.""<br/><br/>""The Turks wouldn't have killed you."" Yaqob assured. ""That would have been extreme, even for them. Even for the Sultan. Suleiman was mad, but he did have sane people around him.""<br/><br/>""You think the sane ones would have stopped him from abducting me."" she mumbled. ""Or stopped that stupid war. Now look what they have.""<br/><br/>Yaqob nodded. ""There is somebody you need to meet. Follow me.""<br/><br/>They walked through several rooms, passing through crowds of people dressed bother colorfully and dully. The walls were white panel festooned in gold, and Yaqob's collection covered all of them. She saw a North American Native head-dress, its white feathers tipped in black and stained faintly tan from years of dust. A bronze shield hung from the wall across the room, chipping paint drawing a monstrous grinning face across the surface. Even a nearby end table held a small mummified cat held up by a copper prop next to the phone.<i>If they put a candle there, it would burst into flames. How awful.</i><br/><br/>They entered another room, this one paneled with stained acacia. Taytu paid no attention to the decorations. Her eyes were on the people.<br/><br/>There were very few in this room, and all of them were dressed in black. When they saw Yaqob enter the room, the fell into a stiff salute, but he quickly waved them off. ""Is Leyla here?"" he asked. When his eyes caught sight of her, he nodded. ""Come here, agent. I need you to speak.""<br/><br/>Leyla was young for the Walinzi. Her face was youthful enough to be mistaken for a child, but her body was not. Her uniform did nothing to hide her full breasts, or the shape of her hips. ""Agent Leyla..."" Taytu greeted the young girl, pausing on her name.<br/><br/>""Leyla Masri."" the agent replied.<i>Even her voice is young. Did they get this one from a primary school?</i>Taytu noticed the medals decorating her chest. ""You were active in the war?""<br/><br/>""Armenia, your Imperial highness.""<br/><br/>Armenia. That was where the Ottoman Empire truly fell, and the Walinzi there had helped in the pushing.<br/><br/>""Now agent Leyla, my sister is a secured source. Tell her the story, like you told me."" Yaqob said.<br/><br/>Leyla hesitated.<i>Is she afraid or embarrassed?</i>Taytu wondered. ""Don't be worried, young agent. I am comfortable with whatever you have to say.<i>A lie.</i><br/><br/>And Leyla told. She told how she had joined the Sultan's household as a servant. She told how the Sultan was ill and suffered from a heart condition. ""He was grey, your Imperial Highness."" she explained. ""And he needed help walking wherever he went. I sometimes helped him, and he grew close to me. I think he grew close to all of the girls in his service.""<br/><br/><i>I see where this is going.</i><br/><br/>""So that is how I did it. I didn't need poison, or a knife or a gun or anything. I just replaced his heart medication with this a medicine the rebels in Istanbul gave me. It was made of natural chemicals and made his heart work faster without being detectable. I gave that to him and I... well, I was close to him so I..."" she shied at this point, looking down at the ground. Yaqob touched her on the shoulder. ""What you did was for your country"" he assured.<br/><br/>""It worked."" she said. ""He couldn't take it and his heart burst. I saw the look in his eyes. They drained... and he was gone.""<br/><br/><i>At this rate, all the world governments will assassinate each other. What a way to reach peace.</i>""You did good."" Taytu assured. ""It was unorthodox, but it was... clean.""<br/><br/>They left the young agent and returned to the party. Servants began to move through the crowd carrying trays of skewered fruit, and the guests plucked them as happily as they had the drinks. ""It smells like alcohol in here, Sister."" Yaqob muttered. ""Part of me thinks... wouldn't this be the right time to hurt us? Right here in this room, while everyone is too drunk to answer?""<br/><br/>Taytu smiled nervously. ""Your guards are sober.""<br/><br/>""So they are."" Yaqob drifted, ""So they are...""<br/><br/>Azima joined them, discussing gossip she had heard from some undersecretary to the Chinese ambassador. ""He told me Chairman Hou was retiring."" she said. ""And that he is going to become a farmer.""<br/><br/>Yaqob guffawed. ""No."" he said. ""Hou spent his time in offices and staff cars. I can't see him retiring to work the soil and cake dirt beneath his nails.""<br/><br/>""Then again..."" Taytu mused, ""You said that when it was said he was retiring.""<br/><br/>""That is still hard to believe."" Yaqob admitted.<br/><br/>A sharp crash quieted the night immediatly. Yaqob ducked to the ground if by instinct, but his wife took off dashing up the stairs. It was dead silent for a moment, until a guard called out. ""It is okay! But the Emperor should come up stairs!"" Taytu looked at her brother, and she could see the wheels moving behind his eyes.<i>He is considering whether or not this is a trap.</i>It was only when his wife called out confirming the same message that Yaqob went upstairs. Taytu followed.<br/><br/>On the second story, far away from the crowds, the two Imperial toddlers had broke the silence. Tewodros, a young boy barely out of infancy and hardly capable of walking, had ended up on one of the many carved wooden pedestals. He stood there as innocent as the baby that he was, looking on at the crowd that had gathered behind the Emperor as if they were just passing through. Below him, Taytu's toddler stood calmly, his one arm pressed against his chest and broken porcelain all around him.<i>A vase? Half of this stuff is forgettable</i><br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" Azima cried out. She scooped the child and shoved an angry finger in his face. ""Don't destroy things! How did you even get up there.""<br/><br/>""Don't be too hard on the child, Zima."" Taytu said. His voice was tired, she could hear.<i>But they can all still mistake that for caring. They know little enough that they have their own idea on what their Emperor is like.</i><br/><br/>Taytu grabbed Olivier in turn, but she found it hard to be angry at him.<i>He looks at me like he is wiser somehow.</i>That made her uncomfortable, and his arm made her pity him too much. She held him and stayed quiet.<br/><br/>""Let me put them to bed."" an elderly voice piped up. Their mother swept in, an aging wraith with sagging skin and pure white hair.<i>And she isn't even sixty.</i>She was dressed in simple black robes, and her eyes looked on into the distance even as she got close. Taytu handed her Oliver. She had taken care of the kids for years, after all, and she treated them more warmly than any nursemaid would.<br/><br/>Several maids joined the elderly Elani, helping Azima to hand Tewodros to her. She was frail, but not frail for the children, and she carried them as lightly as she would carry clothe. Walking back into the long halls of the Imperial Residence, Elani kissed Tewodros on the head.<br/><br/>""Now Sahle, you be good or I will have to tell your father."""
21979,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-03-28 22:07:00,Chapatrap,"<b>Batumi Docks, Georgia</b><br/>The sea was a heaving mass in the darkness, an angry monster's chest rising and falling. The sky was a dark, navy blue. Clouds covered the moon, casting a weak light that made itself through the thick, foggy clouds. The docks were a desolate place, largely unused by the warlords. One ship came every month to pick up shipments of tea and deliver them around the Black Sea. They were built by men with big ambitions before the Turkish Invasion in the early 70's. Shipment containers littered the area, making a maze of rusted iron and concrete. All containers had been raided years of all goods years before. Obviously, these raiders had poor manners, as each container door was left open or ajar for the creatures and lowlife of Batumi to make their homes in. Wind and rain battered the iron frames in the darkness, causing a strange echoing effect of howling wind and pattering rain on the containers.<br/><br/>In the darkness, a match was lit. It was quickly raised to the face of a pale Georgian, who sheltered from the rain and wind in the doorway of one of these containers with his companion. He lit the sodden cigarette that dangled from his mouth and a puff of smoke escaped his mouth. The match was flicked out into the rain, where it quickly fizzled out to ash. 'You should put that out. You know how Sir feels about smoking' whispered his companion in the darkness. The man gave him a lazy wave as an excuse, not caring for the consequences. 'Fuck 'im' he whispered back, the cigarette clenched between his teeth. His whisper echoed slightly in the container and then reverted back to silence. The only sound was the heavy bashing of rain on the rusted container. Both men sat in the doorway of it, their legs outstretched into the rain. The smoking man touched the floor beside him and his hands closed around his weapon. A stick with a serrated knife tied around the end. The smoking man frowned. 'I wish they'd give us better weapons. A stick with a knife of the end. What are we, African spear chuckers?' he smiled at his own joke. His companion did not laugh. 'Keep your voice down, Giorgi. I don't want Sir coming around' his companion pleaded. Giorgi chuckled to himself but even so, made sure to keep his voice down. He acted like he wasn't scared of Captain Mildiani. But everyone knew the man who lead them around. And they knew his horrific temper.<br/><br/>Captain Saba Mildiani was a former boxer and served in the Imperial Russian army for several years. He was a personal friend to Giorgi's father, Davit Patarava, but that didn't stop him disciplining him any lighter than the rest of the unit. He was a stocky, well built man with a shaved head and a face clean of all hair. He was a fair yet stern man who treated all his soldiers equally. 'Anatoli, what is the time?' asked Giorgi quietly, tapping the end of his cigarette onto the ground. Stray ash and tobacco fell to the ground and was carried away by the wind. Anatoli, his companion, pulled an old fashioned watch from his front pocket and squinted at the screen. 'Five to twelve in the night' he answered, wiping the droplets of rainwater from his watch. Both men were dressed identically, with thick, fur-framed parkas, heavy boots, scarves and black beanie hats. The scarves hung down around their necks but the parka hoods were up. Their standard weapon was knife or stick-with-knife, which sat beside them. These primitive weapons would do little against the armed soldiers of the warlords but a weapon was a weapon.<br/><br/>The sound of quickly approaching boots caused Giorgi to quickly flick the cigarette to the wet ground and stamp it in. His face was hidden by the darkness and a thick scarf but this didn't muffle his anger. 'What the fuck are you doing, Private Patarava?' snarled Captain Mildiani. In his hands he clutched a shotgun. Firearms were usually reserved for officers or important people as they were in short supply. 'Were smoking on the job?' growled the officer. 'Get on your feet'. The two men quickly jumped up, clutching their spears in their right hands. 'Yes, sir' mumbled Giorgi, shifting his feet uncomfortably. 'You're on discipline' he whispered, poking the man in the chest with the nose of his gun. 'And if I ever catch you lighting so much as a spark of light tonight again, I'll have you hung upside down by your bollocks. I don't give a rats arse if your father runs the show, because he'll most likely agree with me. Do you understand me?' Giorgi nodded and murmured an apology. The captain glanced at Anatoli. 'See anything suspicious, private Anatoli? Apart from your prick of a friend giving away his position' he glared at Giorgi. 'No, sir' answered the Russian, his eyes glued firmly at his boots. 'Good. I received the signal a few minutes ago. We're all taking the defensive positions. Get going' said the captain. He turned and walked into the darkness, still clutching his shotgun.<br/><br/>The captain was somewhat shorter than both of the men but still struck terror into their hearts. 'Cunt' whispered Giorgi, cursing his commanding officer as he was swallowed by the darkness. 'Say it a bit louder, would you?' answered Anatoli. 'Come on. We had better get going'. The privates grabbed their scarves and pulled them over their faces, covering their noses. They both took one longing look at their post, a fortress of dry in this rainy dockland before stepping into the darkness to follow the Captain.<br/><br/>They found their next post easily, having practised nights before. The rest of the small 'youth unit', as it was known as, were walking from different directions to their new defensive positions. An inlet built into the abandoned dock was where Captain Milidiani stood, crouched at the edge with a torch held in his hand. A distant light shone out from the dark, heaving sea. Around him, the men crowded silently, all desperate to get this over with as soon as possible. This mixture of cold rain and biting wind made the unit wish they were back at home beside the fire or in bed. The captain slowly stood and looked at his unit. 'They're late' he said shortly. 'Did anyone see anything while out there? Any Turks?'. All the men, dressed identically, shook their heads or murmured 'no, sir'. When the captain was happy with the response, he began talking again. 'All of you, defensive positions around the inlet. I'll stand at the end of it and meet our man when he eventually joins us. The rest of you, keep quiet and only do what I command. Keep an eye on our backs too. Go.' He turned back around and held the torch in his hand. This was a tactic that had been practised many times before on this inlet and each man knew his position.<br/><br/>The need for defensive positions wasn't because they distrusted the smuggler. It was because they distrusted the authorities who occasionally patrolled these empty docklands, rooting out the homeless and the smugglers. The authorities were commonly known as 'Turks', due to the fact that the officers were largely made up of Turks and the warlord-businessman who controlled the city was a Turk, known as Demir Polat. The common soldiers were usually local Georgians, along with small units of loyal Azeri's and Dagestani's. In the last few months, Demir's forces had begun a crackdown on smuggling and introduced high taxes to imports in the city, drying up the food sources. Demir had taken to importing food from Turkey and other loyal Turkic states, which was often not enough to feed the citizens. The crackdown on smuggling and the black market meant that four smugglers had been arrested bringing food by land and sea and two Georgian Guard members killed trying to protect them. Most smugglers now refused to even go near Batumi, no matter the price. Only one brave fisherman from up the country was brave enough to bring food and essential supplies down to Batumi every few days. He was paid previously by Zurab and was known by a common Armenian name, Bedros. Davit Patarava valued his importance highly and ordered he be protected by a squad at all times while on the shore.<br/><br/>Giorgi crouched down beside an old crate, rotten, drenched and smashed. It wouldn't do much for cover but at least he wasn't easily seen. The rain began beating down again and Giorgi sighed. He watched as Captain Mildiani, crouched at the edge of the inlet, shone his light to the boat far out in the sea. The sea pounded against the bay, spraying the Captain with salty sea spray. He took no notice, instead concentrating on shining his light in a morse code. The two conversed briefly until the light when silent and the torch was hidden down. The boat was no less than a few miles from the shore and the unit knew it. They sat in total silence and darkness for 15 minutes, Giorgi quickly feeling a cramp in his leg and gave it a quick smack to stop it from going to sleep.<br/><br/>If he had blinked, he might of missed it. A small boat silently slid into the inlet. Not a single light could be seen aboard it but through faint light from the sky, a man was illuminated on the deck. A rope was thrown to Captain Milidani, who quickly tied it to a wooden post. The boat slowly turned until it's side was facing the captain. In the darkness, one could probably make out it's features. It was a small, white boat. The paint was chipped off and if someone looked hard enough, they wouldn't find the name of the boat. No flag flew from it's mast. A plank was dropped down noisily onto the shore and a tall figure hastily hopped across it. He was drenched to the skin, his teeth chattering. 'Sir' the man saluted through his chattering teeth. 'Tamaz, my lad' whispered Captain Milidani. He grabbed the man into a rough hug. Tamaz was dressed the same as his other soldiers, only significantly wetter.<br/><br/>'Well, Captain, I never expected you to be the gay type' came a voice from the boat. It was Bedros. Bedros was of Armenian descent but that was probably the most remarkable thing about him. He looked significantly normal, with no defining features at all. This suited his profession. He could blend into a crowd easily. The Captain didn't move from his position. 'Bedros. I trust you were paid correctly?' he answered shortly. 'Yes. If you would like me to take your crates down myself, you will be here a while'. The Captain gritted his teeth together. He gave a quick whistle and two of his soldiers appeared from the darkness. 'Help Tamaz and I take these crates down. Quicker you work, the quicker you can go home' he commanded. The two soldiers obediently took the first of ten heavy crates from the smuggler and set it down onto the wet ground.<br/><br/><i>Thank fuck I ain't Tamaz</i>thought Giorgi, as he glanced at the shivering man almost drop a crate into the ocean."
21980,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-03-29 08:21:00,Isotope,"<b>Stockholm, Sweden</b><br/><br/>Though the sun sat triumphantly in a clear sky overlooking the warm and vibrant day Birgit once again found himself in the Riksdag’s uninteresting and distasteful offices meeting with the conservative party’s equally unappealing leadership. With a sigh Birgit gave a glance out the window on the side of the room at the green trees and multicolored flowing plants in the outside square, unfortunately this just pushed the point of how remarkable a day it was outside and made the experience of sitting there worse yet. Looking forward to the conservatives again as if he were paying attention Birgit blindly drew random and haphazard lines on his notepad, a relief from the grinding and scathing voices presented to him. Though he was not a man who ignored others Birgit had grown all too tired of these meetings which had been a constant plague throughout his presidency. Flanked by two members of his cabinet Birgit was once again facing the two most powerful members of the once mighty Conservative party. Birgit tuned into the conversation and placed his pen down. However it quickly seemed apparent that this was a mistake as the topic had not changed in forty minutes, though it never had before so this was not remarkable.<br/><br/>The older man sitting at the helm of a grand oak desk placed with back to an empty wall in the drab office was Albert Cen; the elected leader of the Conservative party. An older man Cen had a signature green tie and a striped suit like some mafia goon of a bygone era. Why he dressed like this was left up to question, still regardless of dress the man the behind it was dangerous. Birgit tuned in just as the old man got to his point, “-as you can see gentlemen if you continue to refuse our amendments, once again my party will be forced to fight you on this bill.”<br/><br/>Birgit finally opened his mouth after overturning his notepad to avoid the embarrassment of not having listened to the entire meeting; he began with a sigh and followed with, “Albert, do you ever tire of this nonsense? You drag me over to the Riksdag every single month on whatever day is most inconvenient just to tell me you will once again oppose a bill we are putting forward unless we add some nonsense about communists. You simply can’t stop any of our bills Albert, if you forgot we had a majority in the Riksdag last I checked.” Birgit, who was simply done by this point stood up and straightened his tie before continuing, “While I know this isn’t going to end any time soon I am obliged to suggest that you should learn to work with us Albert, there is no point in leaving this nation’s government divided for reasons as petty as yours.”<br/><br/>Albert stood up some noticeable time after Birgit, being a man of advanced age the wrinkles in his face told why he took longer. Albert responded in his dusty voice, “If only you could see the failure in this effort to reinforce the public sector without any limits Brigit. You know one of these days we might look up and mistake you for a communist yourself. Should you continue to ignore us there will eventually be repercussions… You know one day I might find out how you and your henchmen won a majority election for both the presidency and the Riksdag after trailing in polls for months.” The old man put on a distrusting face and outstretched his hand.<br/><br/>Birgit smiled despite his desire to smack the old fool and shook it firmly; Cen was surprisingly strong for his age shook back with equal strength. Birgit spoke up in a vaguely sarcastic tone, “Well, thank you for this Mister Cen.” Before turning and walking out with his entourage. Birgit waited until he heard the click of the door behind him before moving closer to his finance secretary, a middle aged man of mild manners, and saying in an uneasy voice, “You think they have anything this time Damian?”<br/><br/>Damian responded a calm voice, “Of course not, it has been two years Birgit if they had anything they would have brought it forward by now. It’s just blind threats on their own paranoia, though you should not have treated him like that, no matter how tired you are of this. Regardless you should worry less Birgit, the people love you and the country isn’t at war, more than can’t be said for much of Europe.”<br/><br/>Birgit shook his head and looked ahead, the secretary of the foreign affairs whom had gotten ahead of them gestured to him and Damian as they had been clearly lagging behind. Birgit hurried his pace; he couldn’t wait to get out of this poorly decorated and decrepit building that was stuffed with people of similar qualities.<br/><br/><b>Malmen Airbase, Next Day</b><br/><br/>The morning breeze greeted General Dirk Egon as he stepped out of the stuffy armoured car that had driven him to the airfield. The sun had just crested the horizon and the day had begun. The General took in the morning for a moment before walking forward towards a small delegation on the tarmac. The man immediately leading the delegation shook the Generals hand and led him on a walk down the tarmac to the tower and hangars in the distance. He began, “It’s a pleasure to see you here sir! I admit I wasn’t sure if you were coming, last time a general visited we nearly killed him. Though sir I do have to say that we warned him that the plane was… Unstable.”<br/><br/>The General gave a hearty chuckle and took the white gloves he was wearing off before placing them in a chest pocket on his light blue uniform that contrasted with the man’s dark grey beard. He began in a jovial tone, “No worries Dolf I heard about the incident and honestly it’s more of a joke on old Gen. Mance than your base. I am not worried about your prototypes dropping out of the sky; though do tell me if these rumors that your new prototype completed all the initial trials are true!”<br/><br/>Dolf exhaled in a breath of relief before responding in a more enthusiastic tone, “We intended to publish the results tomorrow but yes sir they are absolutely true. We think we finally solved the issues in the initial prototypes. If you want we can give you a demonstration sir, the new prototype will be going out soon and if nothing else it is certainly nice looking.”<br/><br/>The General looked more at attention on the mention of a demonstration. He immediately responded, “You could? You know came here just to oversee operations for the day but if it’s no intrusion I would be delighted.”<br/><br/>Dolf smiled at the news and in perhaps a rather grand fashion stood tall and spoke to the General, “Would you move a bit sir?” The General did as he was told and Dolf pulled out a flare gun from his coat, aiming the device to the sky he fired a bright red flare that was bleached tad dull by the newfound sunlight. From some distance at the hangers a similar flare was sent up in response and a few pops followed by a roar could be heard in the distance.<br/><br/>Dolf handed the General a pair of binoculars he had also stowed in his coat and gestured for him to watch as a bright white aircraft with blue and yellow stripes taxied out onto the runway. The plane, a propeller driven monoplane with a sleek but buff look and wings that were cut straight at the ends with two pronounced cannons on their mid sections was certainly a sight to behold. The general looking down toward the plane commented, “You certainly built a nice looking plane Dolf, so how have these successful test flights gone?”<br/><br/>As the plane accelerated down the runway and got closer the roaring intensified and Dolf had to raise his voice a bit to say, “Excellent sir! The pilots report great high altitude performance and impressive dive performance, we haven’t done much maneuverability testing but so far the pilots say that it’s more sluggish than a biplane but more agile than those half rate midget planes we bought in the forties!”<br/><br/>The General momentarily took the binoculars off his face as the plane zoomed past him and Dolf and pulled up into the sky. He asked, “As for weapons what did you come up with?” Before once again looking into the binoculars Dolf provided as the plane shrunk into a dot.<br/><br/>Dolf responded, now at a normal volume, “Well we put one 20mm on each wing and two 12.7 mm’s on the nose. Of course we haven’t dialled in the weapons yet so we can’t say what they can do in tandem.”<br/>The Plane vanished from view and the General asked, “So where is it off to?”<br/><br/>Dolf responded simply, “Some turning and roll tests a dozen or so kilometers out, it will be back by noon. Until then shall we get around to our original business? R&D is just a short walk to the hangers now.”<br/>The general nodded and lowered the binoculars, still gazing in the direction the plane left in spoke, “It certainly is a beauty isn’t it? Anyhow back to business you’re quite right there Dolf.”"

It had been the final moments Evelyn was waiting for, the moment when she would be announced as the loser or winner of the race to Presidency for her country, Brazil. Evelyn was attractive in all the right places and had this glow about her that could submit even the most stubborn of men. She had proportioned lips and a soft jaw line that was paired with a small nose. She dressed in a black knee length skirt that contoured to her frame and her long defined legs. Evelyn's hips were curvy as was the rest of her body but most of this would be hidden under a button down and black jacket. Brown eyes matched her long, thick, dark hair that had always been up in a bun or pony tail. It was the ""professional"" look and she had to adhere to this look for as long as she wanted to be seen as a leader and not just a baby maker.<br/><br/>Women in Brazil were now finding themselves on the rise when it came to careers, politics, and even military. Although still regarded as behind males within the industry, they were not far behind. The fact that she was running and running a close race for presidency showed how far Brazil had come from the rest of the world. BNNC reporter had popped on the screen as the votes were being revealed, a phone located next to the T.V. In this small dingy dim lit office began ringing and vibrating.<br/><br/>Without hesitation one of Evelyn's aids reached for the phone and answered it, eager, anxious, and exhausted from the waiting. The silence still floated and the tense atmosphere built even more as the head shook and nodded from the aid as he held the phone up to his ear. Slowly he placed the phone back down, ""You won...we won!"" The aid exploded and so did the rest of the room. Tears filled some of the faces who were in that office and a large grin slid from ear to ear on Evelyn's face. The BNNC quickly after the call reported, ""We are proud to announce that President Evelyn Vera Alaverez will be the new face of our dear country Brazil!""<br/><br/>Some would be unhappy, while others would find this as a huge leap for Brazil in many aspects. She promised to continue the war on drugs and continue building foreign relations through trade and commerce. This would be beneficial to Brazils economy and ultimately grow its population and solidify her power within the first term. There were many things that Evelyn had planned, but not all of them were met with open arms when it came to some of those who were already in power, political or criminal.<br/><br/>Evelyn stood up and examined the room as everyone fell silent from the celebration of her victory.<br/><br/>""It is time...we only have four more weeks to prepare before the transfer of power, and then the public inauguration. Once I am officially President our plans must go into effect, immediately, even while I'm still being bombarded by the press. We need not waste anymore time...ladies, gentlemen...the administration before us was a good one, however, we must be great!""<br/><br/><b>Brasilia, Capital of Brazil four weeks after the unofficial tally</b><br/><br/>""How are you feeling?""<br/><br/>The sun light seemed to find its way through the cracked spaces between each blind, while a small box with a metal fan inside puttered away in a circle slowly shoving air in whatever way it could through the window and into the room. Brazil was humid, hot, and air conditioning in a lot of buildings were not as efficient as they should have been.<br/><br/>Evelyn had her legs crossed with her hands folded over the desk, she did not like the capital all that much, but understood that for the next 6 years, it was what she would now call home. Reality was slowly setting in as were the ideas of the mounting responsibilities she was about to gain once the transfer of power was finished. Her body upright and wrists ornamented with jewelry, but with no ring on her ring finger.<br/><br/>She gave herself whole to her job and the vision she has had for Brazil, letting nothing stop her to reach her goal. She once had a fiancé, who ultimately left due to her lack of accountability in the relationship. She was always traveling for work or in a meeting to rally for the next campaign. It was a life that her fiancé did not want, even if in the beginning he was understanding.<br/><br/>""I am fine, Carlos, shall we depart?""<br/><br/>""I believe so Ms. President.""<br/><br/>A smile appeared on Carlos' face as he acknowledged her by her new title, a sense of accomplishment not only filled him as one of her advisors but also he knew it would raise Evelyn's spirits. To be reminded that she had reached the top of what this country had to offer and be the one to decide its future was worth all the sacrifices made and sacrifices that are to come.<br/><br/>The two exited the office building that she had been located in for about a week, her administration had already began laying down the ground work for the first year and as soon as she was placed into office, her plan would ignite almost instantly.<br/><br/><b>Brasilia, an hour after the ceremonies</b><br/><br/>It was so surreal to have a crowd of millions cheer you on while arriving to an event. Signs, banners, and more all paved with your name across them. Evelyn was the most famous female in all of Brazil and possibly her countries history and already she found herself escorted by Thiago Delgado, the commander of the BAF or Brazilian Armed Forces. He walked slightly behind her right shoulder and arms length distance away.<br/><br/>""Congratulations Ms. President, I apologize for the immediate summons but unfortunately time is critical and something we do not have enough of. You will be briefed upon reaching the office, there are several officials and military officers who will be up in salute upon your presence. Acknowledge them and dismiss their appropriate gesture, it will be then that I will begin the briefing and await your decision.""<br/><br/>They had reached the double doors of a room that when opened by the Commander revealed a large conference room. It was a well decorated and neutral colored room with a very expensive wood table that had been the center piece of the entire room. At the end of the room was a projector and a wall of names with identification photos next to the names. Lines were drawn from one photo to another and a chair was left untouched for the President herself to approach and sit in.<br/><br/>When she entered the room, the men stood up and greeted her with respect and the salute she deserved. She was not use to the formal etiquette of being the President and had hesitated in dismissing them from their current status. Realizing once she made it to the chair that she had yet to dismiss their saltire, Evelyn nodded, dismissed them and then took to her chair.<br/><br/>""Commander Thiago the floor is yours, tell me why I am here."" Evelyn spoke with a bit of authority in her voice, something that just kind of slid out without her realizing. It was noted and she liked the tone she used and thought it was received well. She did not sound menacing, but she sounded as though she was actually a leader of a country, her country, Brazil.<br/><br/>""Ms. President, these are the names of those who were identified to be at the top of one of Colombia's largest drug cartels, the Blanco Cartel. During the last administration an operation was conducted with the help of the SAC members and with approval of Colombia to find, and eliminate the drug lords stemming from Colombia. You know our history with drugs and fortunately for Brazil we had competent leaders who identified where the problems were coming from, it is the reason why Brazil is what it is today and not infested with cartels ourselves.""<br/><br/>Evelyn cut the Commander off, not out of disrespect, but she already knew her history all too well and she just wanted to hear what all of it was leading to, ""Commander, I am sorry to interrupt, but there is a reason why I am the President of Brazil, I know our countries history, I know our countries current events, and I listen to the people of Brazil. Spare me the history lesson and tell me why you brought me here, the real reason.""<br/><br/>The commander took a second and was not prepared for such an interruption, he did not mean to offend her but he understood if the introduction was not needed.<br/><br/>""Yes ma'am, during this operation we removed several key figures in the cartel but never the big catch we were looking for, until now...sources have just revealed that a Felix Martinez and a Jaco Torres will be meeting in Yopal, Colombia...right outside of the city Bogota.""<br/><br/>The commander stopped for a second and looked at his aid, quickly the aid changed the slide on the projector and up came Felix and Jaco's photo with a brief bio and location on a Colombian map.<br/><br/>""Felix Martinez is the weapons man that the Blanco cartel deals with, Felix moves a lot and has even been reported in Mexico from time to time. We think this is where he buys his stock, although a different investigation entirely this man has led us to Jaco Torres. Jaco is assumed to be the runner for Allen Ramos, the right hand man of Andres Blanco. We have a team ready and briefed, our plan is to observe the behaviors of both Felix and Jaco, follow Jaco back to where he is running the weapons too, and intercepting Felix before he makes it out of Yopal.""<br/><br/>Evelyn nodded, ""What of the Colombian government, do they know what's going on and what about the rest of the countries operating in Colombia apart of the SAC?""<br/><br/>The commander hesitated and gulped spit down his throat, he was parched and had not had water in what seemed like forever. He had been finding the new President a bit difficult to work with but was impressed with her at the same time.<br/><br/>""Ms. President, we have not revealed any of this, except to one man...Governor Cabrera , it is fragile and unfortunately I as many others in the Armed Forces do not feel we can trust the Colombian government in its entirety. Several leads from the first operation went missing and even some were false leads given to us by unknown sources that the Colombian government swore by. We feel that their government is nothing but a bunch of money hoarders who are paid by the cartels. Cabrera however has proved to be an asset to Brazil, he sees what Colombia can become if drugs can be contained and has helped Brazil through leading us to this very moment. As far as the other powers in the SAC, operations have decreased on all accounts and they are looking else where to spend their money.""<br/><br/>Evelyn nodded once more and understood, she knew Colombia's history or at least enough of it to understand the struggles there when it came to politics.<br/><br/>""Commander, one last question before I decide, the Blanco Cartel...what makes them so different from the other large cartels operating in Colombia, I know there are several...why put so much at risk with this one? And how do we know we can truly trust Cabrera?""<br/><br/>Commander Thiago smiled, he would love to answer this question but instead handed it off to another official in the room who was now looking down at his notes and began spouting out information.<br/><br/>""Andres Blanco, leader of the Blanco Cartel has complete control over the roads and border lines that Brazil and Colombia share. If the Blanco Cartel falls, cocaine in Brazil will drop significantly, so much that small time and big time gangs in our country would have to literally alter their entire scheme for money. Blanco accounts for more than 80% of the cocaine in Brazil. If the Blanco Cartel is shut down, Cabrera will bring to light information that would end the careers of several politicians in line for Presidency. Ultimately, he has just as much as risk as we do.""<br/><br/>The commander stepped in before another question could be asked by Evelyn, ""We will be setting Cabrera up to become the next President of Colombia, if he wins, Colombia will be on the road to recovery and in our debt.""<br/><br/>Evelyn did not know how to handle the overwhelming load of information, the last administration had so much going on and not enough time to truly finish its vision. Was it up to her to continue the vision? Was it a proper vision? Or was there a better way? She knew a lot of changes were coming to Brazil, but nothing could have prepared her for this. If everything that was mentioned happened, then Brazil would have crippled the Drug World, instead it would be dealt with at a local level. Access to the Gulf of Mexico, Pacific and Atlantic would be huge for the economy, and they would be the gate keepers of South America. If it went wrong, Evelyn surely knew she would be the first one to rise to the top of a hit list somewhere within the underground networks.<br/><br/>Suddenly Evelyn began to realize what power could do to someone, she came in to presidency with such naive ideas, she was now realizing that to bring Brazil to where she wanted it to be, she had to flex its muscles a bit to the world before her. Evelyn stood up from her chair and looked directly into the soul of Thiago.<br/><br/>""Commander Thiago, It has only been a few hours since my term began and yet you ask so much, if you fail me and you are wrong...it will end me, but I will make sure it ends you first...do not fail me, for your sake and mine.""<br/><br/>Commander Thiago saw a change in Evelyn's demeanor and saw fire in her eyes, she had already begun to realize the responsibility of what being a President was all about. Thiago nodded and waved his hands to the officials and officers, they quickly dispersed and left the room to prepare for the upcoming events.<br/><br/><b>Yopal, Colombia</b><br/><br/>""Yes sir...yes sir...roger that commander.""<br/><br/>The phone was placed gently back to its resting position, mounted on a machine attached to the wall of the apartment building. Six men were huddled in a small two bed room apartment that seemed to have a five degree higher temperature than the outdoor climate at all times. Poor air circulation, broken vents, and six large men did not help their case. Each room was filled with weapons, magazines, vests, and other sorts of gear that would be required for a special operations mission. Most of the time these men were dressed in civilian clothes and carried a concealed firearm rather than their standard issue rifles that typically rested in the vehicles they drove with or left back at the apartment with two officers staying behind.<br/><br/>Some of the men had a thick beard, one was clean shaven, and another sported the 5 o'clock shadow. These men were apart of a unit tagged 404, highly trained field operatives that reported under the Garra but worked mostly in Colombia and specifically tasked with hunting down and capturing high profile drug lords. These men had about 7 years of combat experience alone inside Colombia just in this unit.<br/><br/>""Alright men, bring it in.""<br/><br/>Charlie was the senior officer and team leader in charge. The other men began walking over to Charlie and gathered around,<br/><br/>""I just got off the phone with Commander Thiago, he has a special assignment for our team and our team only. The other SAC countries will have no part in this which goes without saying whatever information is given and found is highly classified and confidential. Now to the fun stuff, there is a source within the Colombian government that is ready to exercise his power by giving up the politicians involved in aiding the drug rings within the country. He has also given the location of a meeting that will be taking place in Yopal, a Felix Martinez and Jaco Torres will be our persons of interest. A very detailed description has been given and I will present it to all of you at 0300. This will be the time we will be packing up and heading to the location, any questions?""<br/><br/>The men nodded acknowledging their senior officer and then waited for the dismissal. Once provided by Charlie, the men dispersed and began situating their gear to fit the mission. They would be convoying in a white, rusty, compact two door vehicle, and a four door sedan that looked to of been painted in the dark. Once they finished their preparations, the detailed description was then provided, packing up the cars and heading out followed quickly after.<br/><br/>They would head out and set up a day or so prior to the meeting. This would allow them to gather intelligence in the area and on the target building. Evelyn and the others would now have to wait in suspense until the show was finally over.<br/><br/><b>Yopal, Colombia: Moments before Felix's arrest</b><br/><br/>Felix Martinez had been feeling better about the day, from the time when he woke up in one of the hotels he stopped at along the way to the meeting his stomach was just not feeling quite right. It was a gut feeling that Felix knew to follow in all his years smuggling guns across international borders. His biggest money maker was the Blanco Cartel, hell they ran the country of Colombia. He never thought that anyone would have the balls to try and stop their number one flow of weapons.<br/><br/>It was only 9 blocks down when a four door car swung out in front of him and hit the breaks. Felix was angry at the shitty driving of the person in front of him and began yelling in Spanish. It was only when the first black hood was spotted that Felix knew it was over. Everything he had worked for was finished, his wife and kids would never know what happened, his last job...it would be this way, Felix thought. Pistols were being waved at him and the yelling of ""Put your hands up, hands up!""<br/><br/>Time itself had slowed down, the movement of the hooded men seemed to have took hours before reaching his car door. One large hand gripped the lever and all Felix could do was watch, his legs could not move and his arms could not move. It was not that he had never been under gun point before, it was the fact that he knew these were not cops, they were professionals. There was no where for him to go. The door opened up and instantly time raced back into place for Felix as his head was jerked from the car and his body thrown to the ground with a knee smashing into his back. More yelling followed as a zip sound slipped through his ears while feeling a tight uncomfortable sensation around his wrists. He was zip tied, his body forced up and into a standing position. He could feel two hands gripping both biceps and walking him toward the vehicle. Felix was thrown head first into the back of the car, two men sat in the front seat and one man in the back with Felix.<br/><br/>The car doors all shut and the wheels spun for a second as momentum was gained and the car spun off. Felix could hear a second car spinning off and he looked in the back window, his car was following them and then a hand gripped his entire face and sent the side of his head into the plexiglas divider.<br/><br/>""Keep your eyes down."" One of the hooded figures commanded and then a sting was felt in the back of his neck. Shortly after his eyes began to feel heavy and he drifted off into darkness."

The prototype was on the black new tarmac outside of the R&D hangers when the skies darkened and the rain started so bringing it into the corrugated metal hanger was easy enough. Dolf watched from underneath the hanger overhang as the plane was pulled towards the hanger by a small orange tug. The headlights flashed across Dolfs face for a moment and he winced before the tug straightened out from the adjustment and carefully lead the plane in. The rain was a drizzle for now but Dolf expected that it would get worse as the night went on. Even thought it was difficult to see in the dark the distant blinks of lightning divulged that this would be an unusually large storm.<br/><br/>Turning to go inside where the plane had come to rest Dolf nearly crashed into a man of small stature with comically thick glasses that made his eyes seem larger than they were. Dolf jerked back for a moment, hand moving to his sidearm and then quickly realized that the man in front of him was simply his head engineer Alexander Ekbald. His hand arrested its motion and Dolf breathed in slowly, Alexander quickly sputtered, “Oh! Uh… Eh… Sir I’m so sorry sir!<br/><br/>Dolf put one hand on the shorter man’s shoulder and with the other then gestured to go inside as he responded, now calm, “No problem Alexander, just try not to sneak up on me like that again, or really try not to sneak up on anyone with a gun. Anyway you have something for me Alexander?”<br/><br/>Alexander walked inside as he was instructed and glanced back at the worsening storm and the now audible yet distant thunder. With a cough and an apparent correction of his posture Alexander began in a more clear voice, “I have news on the tests we did earlier today, the fighter is around where we expected on roll speed but it demonstrated a turn radius that we found lacking. Now that wasn’t unexpected but I have an idea on how to cut the turn radius by a bit with a minor adjustment to the wings.”<br/><br/>Dolf looked away from Alexander and towards the plane before inquiring, “You’re sure this would work? You have done a preliminary test on one of the models right?”<br/><br/>Alexander responded a bit nervously, “I did do the preliminary test but I… I can’t be sure that it would truly work, as you know the model does not always translate perfectly and-“<br/><br/>Dolf cut Alexander off by saying, “Do it then, we have only a month and a half left before we hit the deadline for the budget this year. It has been 12 years that I have been here, since this program started Alexander. While I might be in charge now I was a pilot then and I now I run a division, in that time I learned one thing Alexander. If you don’t get results you don’t get funding. So get it done and do it right, before you know it we will be either short even more money or starting mass production.” Dolf was ready to shake Alexander’s hand and head to his office but something else hit his thoughts and he continued, “By the way Alexander have you and your team given it a name yet? It’s been years and you are running out of time to make your mark on history there.”<br/><br/>Alexander responded a tad more confidently, “The team agreed a while ago we want to see if we can name it the Sol Fågel, if that is ok with you sir?”<br/><br/>Dolf scratched his head and then responded, “Sun Bird? Makes enough sense, sounds nice. I’ll do what I can to see that’s what we call it in the end.” Dolf then shook Alexander’s hand and started to walk to the other side of the hanger where his office was located on several metal stilts and a small staircase. Dolf looked back for a moment and called, “And Alexander! Tell your team they do good work.”<br/><br/><b>Stockholm Sweden, Next Day</b><br/><br/>Birgit Walked out onto the balcony of the Statehouse, his government provided residence for the time he was elected. The balcony had originally been fitted with bulletproof glass and was more of a greenhouse then a place to watch the city. Of course this was not only an apt comparison but a literal fact considering the last president’s wife used it for exactly that purpose. Birgit had the glass removed, much to his body guard’s distaste, a week after having won the election.<br/><br/>Resting his hands on the thick, dark and intricately carved wood railing Birgit looked out over the river toward the Riksdag and the royal palace, both firmly in his view. Perhaps it was symbolic that a grander building had been built on the other side of the river than the royal palace in the aftermath of the great change of 1931, and perhaps it was also symbolic that the island that the Riksdag was built on was the dominating feature of the view from the balcony. Birgit however was not the president that this symbolism was supposed to appeal to. He hated the decadent palace of a house he lived in and even more he hated that he had to look at the Riksdag from here. He spent enough time there regularly, hell to him it seemed that he spent every day there.<br/><br/>Turning around Birgit walked back into the house, as he was on the second floor he could look down from the walkway he was on past the lavish chandeliers and marble stairs to the main floor below. Save a few guards the house seemed empty as ever. His wife was likely still in bed so Birgit decided to get into his suit and go to a small café not far from the Statehouse. Sadly this involved walking some distance to the monstrosity of a closet that housed his suits, another downside to the intolerable building he lived in. Once he had gotten there he simply grabbed one of the four suits he owned in the expansive room that was designed to house hundreds. Birgit was tightening his it when he noticed how empty of a room this was, an unusual sight as most of the walls were covered in portraits and masterpieces. It would have been nice had the room not reminded him of the office he had to visit the day prior.<br/><br/>Making his way down the stairs Brigit encountered one of his guards. A man of tough demeanour with a brown beard and hard brown eyes the guard was certainly an intimidating sight. However over the years Birgit had come to know the man as an outdoorsman with an affinity for fishing, though he rarely killed the fish he caught. The guard spoke up as Brigit reached the last stair, “The café sir?”<br/><br/>Birgit chuckled and responded, “Quite right there, how did you know this time?”<br/><br/>The guard following Birgit responded, “It’s always the café after you spend some time brooding on the balcony.”<br/><br/>Birgit smiled and said in a jovial tone as he stopped at the door, “If only I could read the sharks I deal with so well.”<br/><br/>The guard laughed and replied as he opened the front door and let Birgit out of the house, “If you could sir you would have to be one of them.”<br/><br/>The two stopped the conversation and continued down the sidewalk, Birgit occasionally waving at passerby’s as he walked down the old stonework sidewalk. The statehouse loomed in the background even after Birgit had made some distance from it. Still the well decorated and vibrant rightly packed shops and houses was something that Birgit always enjoyed on these walks, a reminder of the people he was to represent, even considering how he came to represent them.<br/><br/>Eventually Birgit and his guard came to the café he enjoyed so much, approaching the counter the old lady that manned the cashing punched something in and spoke, “Decafe coffee today sir?”<br/><br/>Birgit responded, “Well it seems my pattern is a tad obvious today so how about this, a normal black coffee.”<br/><br/>The lady typed a few things in and said, “Ok sir, as always a minute.”<br/><br/>Birgit walked to the side and sat in a small metal chair while his guard sat opposite around a small metal table with a mosaic top depicting the Swedish flag. Birgit looked up and admired the woodwork roof before speaking up, “It’s nice to be out on such a nice day, if nothing else my wife certainly finds it nice to have a break from me, however much she disagrees with me being out among the people.”<br/><br/>The guard looked up and asked cautiously, “Not to pry sir but things are ok?”<br/><br/>Birgit sighed and responded, “You’re not prying. I imagine it’s been a bit obvious recently, she things I have been working too much, I guess it is true since I come to her all day long with whatever obscene issue I have to fix and of course my argument with my own party on reopening trade with the North Finns. I hardly speak to her save about my work.”<br/><br/>The guard responded in a more direct way, “You do work too hard sir, the people love you for it but the last time you took a vacation it was to celebrate winning the election.”<br/><br/>Birgit responded, “It seems so.”<br/><br/>It was clear he had more to say but to woman at the desk yelled out, “Your drink is ready sir!” Cutting Birgit’s thoughts short."
21983,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-04-01 22:26:00,TheEvanCat,"<b>Yerevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>The day was as clear as could be, the cold highland winter giving way to a pleasant day. A few gusts of wind rippled the sea of flags below, but otherwise it was calm. Assanian himself stood on a podium at the forefront of the Presidential Palace, overlooking Republican Square. In the center of the square's lawn that had been carefully landscaped to mimic the pattern of a traditional Armenian carpet, a bronze statue of a stoic Fedayeen clutching his rifle atop a defiant horse laden down with a guerrilla's equipment looked out over the crowd. Police kept a ring around the garden to keep people from trampling the flowers and climbing atop the monument, and the result to Assanian's eyes was an island in a sea of people. Just beyond police barricades were people packed as tight as could be. There had to have been hundreds of thousands of people. Almost the whole population of Yerevan, and then some. Today was Victory Day, of course. Everyone wanted the glory of the ticker-tape parade in the capital city. But that hadn't commenced quite yet. Assanian, being the ""father of the Armenian state"" that he was, had to give a speech worthy of the history books. It was expected - almost required - of him.<br/><br/>So the President of the Republic of Armenia shuffled his papers and leaned towards the microphone. ""Good morning, Armenia,"" he began. Almost immediately, the national orchestra, on the landing below the steps, struck up the national anthem. A famed folk singer began to passionately sing. Her beautiful voice struck a defiantly optimistic tone that seemed to render the whole crowd speechless. Whereas before, chanting and singing filled the air, Assanian's quiet - almost timid - introduction was enough to stun everyone into silence. The singer kept them that way. For a few beautiful moments, Yerevan was silent. Armenia was silent. Her anthem was broadcasted throughout the country, to bars and houses and farms in towns far away from the affluent capital. Men and women stood silently with their head coverings firmly on their chest. Many tears were shed from the more enthusiastic countrymen. The singer uplifted the souls of everyone listening, radiating innocence and purity and pride. She was almost angelic in the hazy euphoria of victory. The President himself, usually a cynic to these things, had to find the strength to appear as his typical unflappable self. After all, it was not the father's duty to become emotional.<br/><br/>The song had finished, and the Square lapsed into an unsettling silent. The whole nation looked towards Assanian, gazing through their eyes to see a man at the helm of a nation with unmatched potential. And with the weight of the Armenian race on his shoulders, Assanian spoke.<br/><br/>""Men and women of Armenia, I welcome you today to a milestone in the history of our people. Two thousand, four-hundred, and ninety-two years before Jesus Christ's birth, Hayk created Armenia. He is the Father of us all. He gave his name to this land and its people - a name we still carry despite hardship, extermination, subjugation, and persecution. Where others have gone extinct - the great Mesoamerican civilizations of old who were vanquished by Spain and Portugal's<i>conquistadors</i>, for example - we have carried on. We have carried on under the boot of countless empires, from the Achaemenids to the Byzantines to the Seljuks to the Russians... the Ottomans. Many of those - the exception being our brothers in Persia - have tried to exterminate us. We were raped by the Mongols so many years ago, scapegoated by the Russians. More recently, we were denied our earned and just right for self-government when the Ottomans acted against international law and indeed, morality itself, to invade and annex in a display of military might that spared nobody. It was the most grotesque sense of the equality that they claimed their empire upheld - grandmothers were incinerated with their infant grandchildren, students with their teachers, whole families huddled in cellars. I worked as a volunteer to help rescue and aid civilian victims: I have seen firsthand the brutality of the Ottoman regime. A bomb is the ultimate equality, or at least in the eyes of the Turkish government.<br/><br/>And so change was desired. Change was needed. Ottoman boots soiled our ground, trampled our crops, crushed the skulls of our friends and family. Dissidents who even suggested that the regime was out of place in any way, shape, or form, were executed in public like the President of the Old Republic in 1970. I am sure that most - save the younger souls - have seen firsthand and know full well about the Ottomans. They treated us like dirt for seven whole years - seven years longer than we deserved. I am positive that the Armenian people did not want to lapse into another hundred years of colonial oppression. Hayk had proven that we were strong, independent people. The Father had created a set of hardy men and women who would continue his legacy. So we honored him when we fought back. We were the morally superior - we have seen what they did to guerrillas in the beginning before we overwhelmed them. They thought that their crimes would never have repercussions - that they could do what they pleased. They did not learn in 1977, when we pushed them to the border. I hope that they have learned now, as we have finally reclaimed our ancestral lands and destroyed their withering husk of a colonial state. Our victory was assured from the beginning - it was only just that we succeed. Surely the Biblical tales of the Jews fighting the Romans for their freedoms have parallels here. God was on our side, and he still is. We were loyal, and he rewarded us.<br/><br/>So the story of the Armenians enters a new chapter - one that we have dreamed of for centuries. We are free. We can spread the wings of the eagle of progress, and soar. Security, well-being... everything anyone can need. And already we have proven ourselves worthy of this victory by sharing with our neighbors in need. Georgians, Russians, Greeks, Syrians: they crossed the border in droves searching for a leader to help them through the dark night. Others would have pushed them away. But Armenians are stronger than that: we have welcomed them with open arms as brothers and sisters. They, too, are Armenians. They, too, embody the spirit of Hayk. They wish to help us, and we will help them as well. They offer us stronger arms to move our newly-created plows, shovels, and hammers. As a collective, we will rebuild from the starved era of poverty and oppression. Already, signs of recovery are emerging rapidly. Our friendships with industrial nations have given us expertise and equipment to build factories and pipelines and roads and railroads. Men returning from the war now have careers in the Recovery Administration, where they toil for days on end to serve their country in a different way. Our swords are being beaten into plowshares, where they will serve us in creating an economy that will sustain us comfortably and in security.<br/><br/>I urge you now to pursue responsibility for this country. The war is over, but the reconstruction has only just begun. Everything you do makes a difference. Sacrificing comforts like pots and pans for scrap metal to build machines to pave our roads - just as you did for the war. Pursue careers in the Recovery Administration - engineers, architects, scientists, economists - there is always a place. We must become the best to succeed. We must be educated, we must be resourceful, and we must persevere. The process will take some time, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This celebration here today is an indication of that. Now, my fellow Armenians, the parades shall begin. Enjoy your victory - the one you fought for with your blood, your sweat, your tears, and your lives. Honor the men and women who gave their lives to make this be, and celebrate your futures. Now, I need not tell you to commence but, seeing as it is only formal for a leader to call the celebrations: let the parades begin!""<br/><br/>Shortly thereafter, the capital erupted into the most joyous celebration that Assanian had ever heard.<br/><br/><b>Borjomi, Georgia</b><br/><br/>The night seemed to turn to day as four incendiary bombs impacted in an even row heading up a military camp on the outskirts of the small town of Borjomi. A wall of flame seemed to rise from the ground and shower down, igniting anything and everything. Seconds later, the hiss of rocket pods ensued and the weapons streaked towards the flaming buildings below. A hollow rattle from 20mm cannons completed the ensemble, explosive ammunition raking through thinly armored technicals and battle buses at a vehicle depot. A plane, barely visible as the flames' lights reflected off of its night-fighter-black paint, banked right and towards a mountain shrouded in fog. Its twin engines made a deep thrumming noise, conveying the heaviness of the ground attack craft. Down below, perched on the side of a mountain, was Mikael Gregovyen with four other operatives and a liaison from the local ""governor."" He watched through a pair of scratched binocular lenses, glare highlighting someone's oily fingerprint that he was mildly annoyed with. Seconds later, the radio box chirped beside him: ""Ghost, Leopard. Ordinance expended on target. Seeing a lot of fire. How copy?""<br/><br/>Gregovyen squinted through the binoculars, observing a few men trying to put out the napalm with water - to no avail. ""Looks like you clipped them pretty well, Leopard. I'd try coming back for another rocket run because I see little fucks trying to put out the flames.""<br/><br/>""Roger, Ghost. Hold on for a minute.""<br/><br/>Gregovyen put down the radio's handset and turned back to see the liaison leaning against a pickup truck. On the back, a 12.7mm machine gun was pointed down into the valley. The white offroad seemed to be orange in the glow of the inferno below. ""We'll have to search for him manually,"" the operative explained. ""I don't like airstrikes but it was our only option. I hope his face hasn't melted off, because I'm not in the mood to scrounge up dental records from 1969.""<br/><br/>""It's risky,"" pointed out the liaison. ""The Dagestanis have curried favor here.""<br/><br/>""We'll have to make it quick.""<br/><br/>He was interrupted by another stream of rockets and bullets flying in unison towards the camp, followed by rows of explosions where people used to be. Greogvyen reached back for his binoculars to see people being shredded to bits, their flaming limbs cartwheeling in all directions. People were attempting to escape now, headlights illuminating the ground in front of them as they maneuvered to the entrance. The Armenians had anticipated this, and an anti-materiel rifle had been brought along. Now, an NSS sharpshooter had swung down his bipod onto a rock and was tracking the engine block of a technical. The radio chirped again: ""That's all I can do, Ghost. I'm all dry. Returning to base: enjoy your night, over.""<br/><br/>""You, too, Leopard,"" replied Gregovyen. A split-second before he put the radio back onto the box, the sniper rifle cracked beside him. The round traveled straight and true into an old pickup truck's engine, stopping the engine immediately. It proceeded to travel, driven by a panicking driver, straight into a tree. A metallic clack accompanied the rifle's bolt action, and the sniper fired again. The cabin was pierced, and the side passenger's shoulder exploded into a thousand globules of meat and bone.<br/><br/>""Dammit. Missed his head,"" growled the marksman as he clacked another round. Down in the valley, the truck's door flew open and a bruised and bloodied driver stumbled his way out. Tripping over a rock, his upper torso disappeared with another 12.7mm round's entry.<br/><br/>""Sniper team,"" started Gregovyen before putting his binoculars down. ""I want you to stay here and keep the pressure on. I'm taking everyone else down the road and into the camp to ID the leader.""<br/><br/>""Got it,"" absently said the sniper while he proceeded to blast the front tire off of a second truck. It swung a hard right, flipping over in the process.<br/><br/>""Let's go!"" called Gregovyen. The liaison nodded quickly, hopping into the bed of the truck while Gregovyen's driver started the engine. The team leader swung into the cabin as the truck began to move. The liaison had mounted the gun, racking the chamber to put a round in the barrel. ""Ready, Armenians!"" he shouted.<br/><br/>The truck gathered speed as it sped down the dirt road. In the distance, the sniper rounds could be heard cracking. Militiamen in their truck tried to disperse to avoid the sniper, and many found themselves at the mercy of a ruined tire or engine. So far, four trucks had been stopped by the massive sniper's rounds. Behind them, the compound was blazing. Many had abandoned their firefighting to search for escape. They offered no resistance as Gregovyen's technical sped through the gate: many of them either didn't notice or didn't realize that they were the enemy. That is, until the liaison began firing. His bullets cut down militiamen running out of the gates. They were unarmed, having dropped their weapons for buckets of water, and offered no resistance. Gregovyen himself fired out of the window with his semiautomatic pistol. None of his rounds hit anything, of course, but he just wanted to partake. The truck drove through to the camp, and proceeded to stop in front of the field where many had set up their bivouacs. This was where they knew the warlord's personal tent one: obviously the biggest and most elaborate. It lay at the end of this row of flaming tents, itself half on fire. ""Get out!"" shouted the driver, as the liaison sprayed rounds at anyone he saw.<br/><br/>Gregovyen and the driver reached for their weapons - both of them were old Tsarist drum-fed submachine guns that they had bought from the border guards' confiscated stash in Tsalka. They were loaded and ready, and the driver took the first shot. He sprayed into a row of tents to make sure that nobody was inside. Confident that most of the survivors had run away, the trio sprinted towards the warlord's tent. It wasn't a very far run - only fifty meters - yet it felt like fiction. There they were, blazing through a warlord's camp while surrounded by the fiery walls of napalm that they had dropped minutes earlier. The warlord's tent was on fire: they needed to act quickly. Bursting through the door, they found themselves in the middle of an ornate living quarters. A Persian rug covered in soot was laid across the wooden floor - a luxury upon a luxury for Georgians. A burning bed had a charred corpse on it. The elaborate wood carvings meant that it could only be their target. The Dagestani warlord died, immolated, with an expression of severe pain on his face. Patches of his characteristic light hair still survived, and that was how the liaison could identify him. ""That is him!"" cried the liaison. ""The son of a bitch died in his bed!""<br/><br/>""Good,"" breathed Gregovyen. ""Now we can get out of this shithole.""<br/><br/>And then a gun went off. The liaison was hit in the upper chest by a small-caliber pistol round. He collapsed immediately.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

</div><br/><br/>""Son of a bitch!"" shouted the driver, spinning around to see a burned man crawled into the corner of the tent. His bloody hand held a smoking Tsarist revolver. He pulled the trigger again, wincing in pain, yet only a click sounded. ""Fucking shit,"" muttered the burned man in exasperation. ""Fucking piece of shit.""<br/><br/>""Holy shit!"" shouted Gregovyen, sprinting across the room to push his gun into the man's face. ""Goddamn you!""<br/><br/>""Fuckers,"" spat the burned man. ""Did Patarava send you pigs?""<br/><br/>The driver was there, too, to pick up the revolver. ""1895 Nagant,"" he muttered. ""Nasty shit. Liaison is dead.""<br/><br/>""Patarava?"" asked a bewildered Gregovyen. ""Who the fuck is he?""<br/><br/>""You have an accent,"" observed the burned man slyly, ignoring Gregovyen's question. ""He sent you, alright. Armenian dogs.""<br/><br/>""Who is Patarava?"" repeated Gregovyen. Behind him, a flaming timber snapped and fell on top of the bed. The fire was starting to consume the floor as well, and the driver began to get worried. He looked around at the surroundings, afraid of immolation himself.<br/><br/>""You don't know?"" cackled the burned man. ""Batumi? The fuck who's trying to shimmy himself up to you so he can get rid of us?""<br/><br/>""I don't catch what you mean!"" Gregovyen yelled, spittle coating the burned man's face.<br/><br/>""He wants us out, the cunt. He sent you to kill us.""<br/><br/>""We've got to go,"" urged the driver. ""Let's go!""<br/><br/>""Batumi,"" repeated the burned man. ""Tell him to suck my huge dick when you can.""<br/><br/>Gregovyen lowered his gun and looked back to the driver, then to the burned man. With a slick motion, he raised the submachine gun to spray a burst into the burned man's spiteful face. ""Let's go,"" he told the driver. ""We're going to Batumi to find this man. First I've ever heard of him."""
21984,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-04-02 19:59:00,Chapatrap,"<b>Batumi, Georgia</b><br/><br/>The sky was stained a deep purple, with a bright moon illuminating the streets below. Clouds dotted the horizon but the worst of the rain had ended. All that was left was the biting cold wind and air, that forced temperatures to dip around freezing. On the isolated outskirts of the city, where the warlords forces had a weaker grip, small gangs of teenagers and young men darted across the streets with boxes in their arms, all bundled up in standard Guard Youth uniforms. Brown parkas, scarves covering their faces, heavy boots and stolen khaki trousers. Not a light shined in this suburban part of the city, apart from the occasional battery powered torch of patrolling militia men. On one seemingly abandoned street, the only light came from the dull glow of a cigarette and cracks of lights from one of the doors.<br/><br/>The old woman squinted at the lad who stood at her doorstep, a box in his arms. A smile cracked the wrinkles of her old face. 'Have you brought some food for old me?' she smiled sweetly, showing her cracked and blackened teeth. 'I have, Miss' said Anatoli. 'You've got some bread, a bit of ham, a jar of milk and dozen bottles of water. It should do you for a few days until the next shipment'. The young Russian grinned as the old lady took the small box of foodstuffs and shuffled to put it behind her. 'I'm bleedin' glad that you men are doing this' she said, slightly huffing from the effort. 'I would probably be starving if it weren't for Guards. Thank you.' She shuffled back to the door. Even at full height, she barely stood to Anatoli's shoulders but age had withered her back, her strength and her height. 'Goodbye, young lad. I appreciate it' she shut the door of her ancient home. Anatoli nodded and turned back. Giorgi sat on her wall, a cigarette hanging from his mouth and a several boxes at his feet.<br/><br/>'You're doing the next one' growled the Russian to his casual companion. Giorgi shrugged in agreement and hopped off the wall. 'Have we done this street then?' he asked, a cigarette clenched between his teeth. 'Yeah. Not many still live around this area. We turn right up this road and we've got two families' replied Anatoli, picking up his share of care packages. It was a common job amongst the youth wing to deliver care packages to the isolated people and starving families around the city. It was a part of their job. As well as protecting the people and delivering food, they made sure that all were somewhat comfortable. It was becoming harder and harder seeing as Demir's men had begun increased patrols and began rooting out the team of smugglers Davit had worked had to place in the city. They had to do this during the dusk and dawn to avoid patrols by the heavily armed militia's and Turks that roamed the streets during the day. However, there were still the night patrols to worry about.<br/><br/>'And for fucks sakes, put that cigarette out. I heard Kart's patrol got caught smoking by the Turks and had to give up their packages' hissed Anatoli. 'Jesus, who took a piss in your morning tea?' sighed Giorgi, flicking the lit cigarette to the cracked pavement and stamping it out. It died immediately. As they approached the corner, they stuck to the shadows of a high wall, keeping silent. Anatoli stuck his head around the corner and scanned the street. He saw something he hoped he wouldn't. A powerful beam of light cut through the darkness and the sound of rapid shouting in a language he didn't recognise. The sound of a door being slammed shut and a screaming woman echoed down the street.<i>Shit. They're inspecting homes</i>thought the Russian. He hugged the wall and returned to his partner quickly. 'Fuck. Patrol men. Sound like Dagi's' he whispered rapidly. He didn't see Giorgi's reaction in the darkness. 'How many?' he whispered back. 'I dunno. Too dark. Maybe six or seven. If they're Dagi, they'll be rough as fuck and probably armed. We should get back to Captain Milidani'. Giorgi didn't move. The woman from around the corner was screaming again. It pierced the silence of night like a knife. The Georgian slowly bent to the ground, where he dropped his boxes. He hugged the wall and glanced around the corner. 'What the fuck are you doing?' hissed Anatoli, horrified. Giorgi just motioned for him to shut up.<br/><br/>In the darkness, he could hear the laughter of several Dagi men as they threw the screaming woman to floor. One Dagistani, probably sick of her screaming, pulled out a pistol and shot near her head. He said something in his rough language and the woman took the hint. She quieted down to just a soft whimper. The group of men closed in around her, one cackling slightly. Giorgi's hand slid to his pocket, where he slowly slid a knife from it. It glinted slightly in the moon light. The Dagistani group parted slightly and Giorgi saw, illuminated by torchlight atop one of the guns, one of the men laying on top of the woman, grunting slightly. She just whimpered. Just when it looked like the young Patarava was to jump from around the corner and run at the men, he felt a hand firmly grab his shoulder. Another hand went around his mouth. He struggled slightly. 'Don't you fucking dare, Patarava. We have orders not to go near any patrol men and to come straight back if we see any. You fucking hear me? Put that knife back in your pocket and we're heading back'. Giorgi silently complied, glaring at the taller Russian. Anatoli let go of his companion. He shook his head when he heard the woman give a heart wrenching scream. Giorgi bit his lip. The pair dropped their boxes into the bushes and began a rapid run back to base.<br/><br/><b>Back at base</b><br/><br/>The room was empty, par from Zugrab. He sat back in his chair and took a long drag from his cigarette. He was in the living room, that was largely empty apart from a chair and a table. No light shined through the cracks in the boarded up window. The muffled sound of several men enjoying themselves and laughing came through the thick walls. The men were all having a mini-celebration in the kitchen. When I say all the men and mini-celebration, I mean Davit Patarava, Captain Saba Milidani and Elchin drinking alcohol around a table and talking shit. Zagreb had never been much of a heavy drinker but Davit had gotten him on smoking again. He had been in Batumi for almost four days now and already had gotten sick of Elchin's company. The Azeri had taken to wearing the Battle Rifle on a strap around his neck and taking it everywhere with him. It was fully loaded and unlocked, a safety disaster waiting to happen. Zagreb hadn't changed clothes in his whole time here nor had he taken a shower, so the musk of sweat and grubby clothing was beginning to annoy him. Despite all the problems with Elchin, his renewed smoking habit and ripe armpit smell, the spy felt somewhat relaxed. While on his mission to Poti, he had been constantly watching over his shoulder for enemies, dodging through buildings to avoid people who may recognise him and stealing clothing and food just to survive. In this safe house, he felt...well, safe! For the first time in over five months, he could relax, enjoy a cigarette and put his feet up.<i>But work never ends</i>, he thought sadly.<br/><br/>The door clicked open and a man slipped into the room. It was Tamaz, who had spent the last few weeks under Captain Saba Milidani working with Bedros, the smuggler. He had been under orders to watch Bedros and protect him from danger. He was also the last surviving member of Zagreb's 'Watcher's' Unit. A unit dedicated to reconnaissance for the Guard that had once contained up to 10 men at once was now cut down to just Tamaz, a quiet, 20's-something man of Nordic origins. Unlike Saba's youth wing or Elchin's Guard, the Watchers were free to wear and look like they wanted. For protection reasons, only certain men knew Zagreb's real name. And Tamaz wasn't one of them. 'Good evening, Tamaz' nodded Zagreb, dropping his feet from the table. Tamaz nodded and slouched over to the table. 'Your mission went well, I've heard'. Tamaz nodded. 'You gave your report to Davit already, yes?' The blonde man just nodded again. Zagreb grimaced. Tamaz never had been much of a talker unless commanded to. He wore a loose flannel shirt, a pair of thin trousers and boots. It was the first time Zagreb had seen Tamaz in a long time and his mission with Bedros hadn't changed him much. 'Well, I have another mission for you. This time, you shall be with me. I want you up tomorrow morning early and ready. Take that pistol with you. Wear something completely different and meet me in the Tsar and Sultan at the previously agreed spot. Do you understand, Tamaz?'. Tamaz spoke for the first time. 'I do, Pikey'. His voice was significantly deep for a man of such normal stature. 'Good. Now go home, get some rest and set your alarm clock'. Tamaz nodded and slouched out of the room. The door clicked shut and a large guffaw came from the Kitchen. Davit always had too much to drink.<br/><br/>The last of dregs of the cigarettes were collapsing in the spies fingers, so he threw the smoking remains in the ash tray. He fingered his pocket for the box and opened it, dropping the remains into his open palm. A few specks of tobacco floated out of the box and Zagreb swore quietly. He stood from his chair and walked out of the room, his hands in his pockets. One of Elchin's many sons sat on a stool outside the door, half-asleep and a shotgun at his side. He was barely a boy, a teenager at most. Fluff covered his face as a pathetic attempt at a beard. Zagreb gabbed the boys nose and he gasped loudly, waking from his slumber. 'Evening, Sleeping Beauty. I'll ask for our safety that you do not fall asleep again'. The boy nodded, bewildered and grabbed the shotgun in his hands, which he cradled. Zagreb glanced at the end of the hall to the closed door. He considered perhaps going to the kitchen and asking for another cigarette. But then he heard Elchin give a loud, drunken guffaw and decided against it. So he began the quick ascent up the stairs, scratching the beginnings of a beard on his cheeks.<br/><br/>'Devout Muslim my arse' he murmured, rolling his eyes as Elchin began another long roar of drunken laughter."
21985,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-04-02 21:00:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong, China</b><br/><br/>Streetlight shone from the far end of the claustrophobic alley way. Their light gleaming on the recently whetted cement as a light rainfall fell over the city. Building droplets fell fat from overhead over hangs, falling to soft splashes in deep puddles in the broken and pitted ground below. An eerie, quiet somberness hung over the alley, and even the sound of the light night traffic felt ghostly in the eerie loneliness.<br/><br/>Even more distant came the echoes of argument and laughter. Angry voices screaming from above. Or deep hawing caws from below. Covens of darkened figures hung back in dark windows.<br/><br/>For the young girl that walked through the alley, it was as troubling as she was unfitted for the area. Her black hair cut short around her ears did as well as she did already to hide the anxiety in her soft youthful face. Was this right place? Or had she been screwed over? The prying eyes she felt from the invisible niches made her uncomfortable, and she for once wished Feng was with her. But she had other things to do, she had said. So she had to sneak out on her own.<br/><br/>She inevitably came to a corner in the alley, cutting herself off from the slowly weakening street lights that had been behind her. She stepped around into total darkness. It had to be this way, she reaffirmed herself. This had to be where she was told.<br/><br/>But all the alley had that she could see were stacks of garbage bins. Overloaded with refuse, dimly illuminated by lights high above. The rain drew out a certain strong stench of detritus that bit her nose. Discarded fruits, meats, papers, and cardboard mingled in the wet air with a distasteful bite like that of old vinegar.<br/><br/>Cardboard and discarded bicycles also lay stacked against the walls. Broken bottles and a shattered rickshaw formed the ground work of an empty lean-to, the concrete padded by a chaotic fan of moldy, soaked cardboard.<br/><br/>The young girl wandered down the dark alleyway, confused, frightened. It was dark, wet, cold. Even for a spring time Hong Kong. She bit her lip nervously as she fretted between the stacks of garbage, trying dearly to not get her clothes dirtied on the way.<br/><br/>Panic struck her with the force of a train as light flickered bright in the corner of her vision. Her heart jumped and held numb in her chest as she turned, expecting with a pale face a police officer looming in the darkness with a flashlight shone into her eyes, ready to question. But the feeling of intense fear did not wash away as she saw the glowing light in the side of a building. Its sickly, putrid yellow light glowing to fill the concrete canyon and to highlight the metal door it hung over, the blue paint that had covered it peeling back in rusted curls and fragile, jagged teeth.<br/><br/>Her breathing was tense and sparse as she froze, looking into the light. Like a moth caught in the hypnotizing dance of the flame. She was glued to the spot. Too afraid to move. Too afraid to turn back down the dark, wet alley.<br/><br/>With a low groan the door opened. The guttural groan of the worn hinges soliciting a stark shudder and a sudden jump back from the girl as it swung slowly open, followed by a heavy boot.<br/><br/>Out through the door stepped a large black man. His dark skin blacker than the night, even in the light above his head. He was a large man, his clothes seeing well to highlight this fact. Large engorged muscles shone through a tight black tanktop. His legs filled well a pair of foreign military fatigues, some drab jungle green.<br/><br/>The man's eyes were drawn up to the nervous Chinese youth standing at the edge of the circle of light that filled the alley. He rose a lighter from his pants to a cigarette clutched between his lips, watching her as he lit it.<br/><br/>“Whad can I help you wid?” he asked, his Chinese thickly accented as he addressed the girl, “You dun look like someone who'd be around here.” he added, puffing on his cigarete.<br/><br/>“I-I'm looking for the Catina de Madrid.” she said nervously.<br/><br/>The door man looked at her up and down. His eyes sharp and measuring. Taking a draw from his cigarette he asked, “Whad's your name girl?”<br/><br/>“Mei...” she said hesitantly, “Mei Hsiu Mei.”<br/><br/>“Preddy name,” the man smiled, “Lod'sa preddy girls here. Don'd sday preddy long. Whad's a girl like you looking for the Catina?”<br/><br/>“I-I... It's complicated...” she muttered quietly.<br/><br/>“You bugged?” the man asked.<br/><br/>Well, no!” Mei shouted, flustered, “Why would you ask that?”<br/><br/>“Can'd be too safe.” the man laughed, “How old you be?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Seventeen.” Mei replied, offended.<br/><br/>The black man smiled wide, “You ain'd dressed like any yellow woman.” he sneered. It was true, the turtle-necked sweater and long skirt was more American than anything, and the leather hand bag, “Did you get losd on da way do some youth club d'ing?”<br/><br/>“I didn't. Now will you tell me where the Catina de Madrid is? A friend of mine told me it was here!”<br/><br/>The man nodded with a wry smile, lifting his head up to exhale a stream of smoke. “I see.” he said, giving her a crooked smile, “How about I get a hundred Ren and I'll tell you.”<br/><br/>“A-a hundred?” Mei said aghast.<br/><br/>“You look like you're good off, girl.” the African protested, “And a hundred is enough for me to eat for a week.”<br/><br/>Mei's face glowed red with anger. Sighing bitterly, she dug into her handbag, tearing out a number of 20 Ren notes. Walking over to the man she held out the fistful of red credit notes. “Here!” she said tensly, “A hundred!”<br/><br/>The man smiled as he took the cash. Flipping through it with fat fingers he counted the notes. “Alright<i>comrade</i>,” he started, nodding happily and stepping aside, “Welcome to the Catina de Madrid.”<br/><br/>“What!?” Mei said.<br/><br/>Pocketing the handful of Ren the man looked up at her with a distant smile, “Welcome to the Catina.” he repeated, gesturing into the door.<br/><br/>Mei shot him a sour expression as she followed through, stepping into the darkened corridor within. Flickering light illuminated a grungy, if yet immaculate stair well that marched down into the bowls of the building. A familiar instance in many of the underground clubs of Hong Kong, that made the definition more literal than need-be. And walking in from the rain brought to her ears the soft drifting sound of music from the depths of the building. It was a strange music.<br/><br/>With careful tentative steps Mei followed the sounds of slow and long drawn notes down the flight of the cement stairs. Much unlike the music that had been imported from the United States during their short partnership with China that had introduced to the nation the fast-paced, up-beat party anthems that filled many youth clubs this was something softer, distorted maybe. In the distance she heard the sounds of convention, playing in subtle partnership to instruments more unconventional than she had known.<br/><br/>It was not like that of Chen Yiaolang, who had begun the popularity of the new sound into China. This was something newer. Niche even. Drums gave a slow, soft tribal air. Plucked strings sung out in a duality of sounds. Representing both the Yangtze and something darker, more distant. It was hardly music that Mei thought she could dance to, or anyone. It had been no secret that as with the Americans, Africans had fled to the coastal metropolises of China, or immigrated there through trade, setting up small scattered communities through Hong Kong.<br/><br/>She had heard of veterans of the Congolese rebellion seeking refuge in places like Hong Kong and Shanghai. Often establishing communities far different from the isolated pockets of American negroes who had came over to the country ten years prior. These were facts of trivia, and brought up regularly on late-night radio programing.<br/><br/>Her feet landed on the final flight of steps at the bottom of the well. Here a small alcove formed the final landing, set with a plain door. The sound of the music was most pronounced here, this had to be the Catina was.<br/><br/>With a careful hand, she placed herself on the door and gently pushed it open. It creaked softly on its hinges as it let out into a large, dimly lit room. It took a moment for her eyes to readjust to the lighting, and the soft orange color that dominated the catina within.<br/><br/>Blinking, Mei's eyes slowly adjusted. The décor and furnishings of the greater room coming to view. And here she found to be no chairs. Instead, large pillows and cushions torn from old couches or chairs littered the floor, tucked in the corners of where lay crates or where the floor met the wall. The whole middle of the room was devoid, save the slowly dancing figures clothed in the dull murky haze of a sweet smelling smoke.<br/><br/>A band sat in the far corner, without a bandstand. Foreign drums sat between their legs, leading in tow a band of random men and random instruments. They sounded as if they played with no plan, no real direction in their song. It was a straight improvised melody they carried like water, much as the smoke that filled the room bellowed and swirled in the cool underground air.<br/><br/>The patrons - if they were not in the center of the room dancing in a trance – reclined lazily around the edge of the room. There was a lax, strange atmosphere. A cooler, calmer practice as opposed to the raunchy, beer-fueled romps she had been familiar with.<br/><br/>Walking to the bar-counter on the farside of the room she look down confused, and hypnotized at the sleeping men and women. Or the docile patrons who stared off into the near and far space around them. Light snacks sat on forgotten plates around them. Simple items, apples, fruits, crackers.<br/><br/>“Good evening, miss.” a man said as Mei stepped up to the counter. He was a gaunt figure, his dark Africa skin pressed flat against well defined bones. Dreadlocks fell down about him like vines from the tree. His appearance took Mei by surprise.<br/><br/>“Oh, good evening...” she said nervously, “This is the Catina de Madrid?” she asked.<br/><br/>“It is.” the bartender said with a smile, he spoke Chinese better than the doorman out front, and had a polite air to him. “Name's Biniam.” he smiled.<br/><br/>“Mei...” Mei replied, “But why do you care?” she asked.<br/><br/>“I have a small patrimony.” he said with a polite smile, “And, it helps should a trip go bad.” he added.<br/><br/>“Trip?” Mei asked.<br/><br/>“You must be a truly rich girl then!” he laughed, “Don't get down to the dark streets often do you?”<br/><br/>“No...”<br/><br/>Biniam smiled as he reached under the counter, “Just tell me if you have any mental issues.” he grinned as he pulled his hand from under the table, putting it on the table. Drawing it back, he revealed a small tab, a small portrait on its face. “If you don't, it's on the house. For first time visitors.” he smiled.<br/><br/>“W-what is it?” Mei asked.<br/><br/>“LSD.” said Biniam, “The best exploration of your inner self you'll ever have!” he exclaimed.<br/><br/>Mei looked down at the tablet. Though tiny, she could make out the small image of a well suited black man. A man crowned with a messy afro. With a raised thumb, he held out his hand affirmatively. “Try me”. Was printed in English under the portrait.<br/><br/>“I don't think I do...” Mei said nervously.<br/><br/>“Then try it.”<br/><br/><b>Yekaterinburg, Russia</b><br/><br/>With a crash the metal plate fell from the ceiling. The rattle echoed up and down the empty corridor as it was followed be a pair of men, dropping in through the air vents.<br/><br/>“It could not be louder, comrade!” swore the Russian as he dropped to the floor. The hall was dark, and glowed only with the eerie red of emergency lighting.<br/><br/>“No body is here.” Jun cracked, “They locked it up and went home.”<br/><br/>“True, but they still had a guard out front.”<br/><br/>“It still won't be an issue.” the Chinese agent said, getting to his feet.<br/><br/>“Do you even know where you're going?” the Russian asked.<br/><br/>Jun didn't bother him with a reply as he pulled from his coat a flashlight. With a click he flipped the light on and shone it on the signs hanging overhead. The faded Russian matched well with the dingy, fading walls of the city morgue.<br/><br/>“This way.” Jun said, finding a sign pointing down the hall declaring the autopsy lab to be down that route. He didn't miss a beat as he followed the arrow, holding his light ahead as he moved. His partner followed.<br/><br/>Their foot falls echoed in the emptiness of the mortuary offices. Barren sterile walls and equally formless doors passed them by as they marched on. The signs ahead giving direction. Offices, archives, lounge, lobby, autopsy.<br/><br/>It wasn't like the two needed a map, and in due time they came to the door they were looking for. Along the wall next to it stood a large glass window, looking into the darkened surgical room inside. Shining his light inside, Jun scanned the room through the glass. A thin layer of frost coated the glass, distorting the light as it glazed across racks of stainless steel drawers, tables, and tools. There were still bodies laying out at rest across the operating tables, covered in sheets.<br/><br/>“Which one is he?” Jun's Russian partner asked, “And how do we get in?”<br/><br/>“Let me worry about getting in.” Jun said flatly as he looked at the chamber beyond, “Just get his photo and name out.”<br/><br/>“Yes, comrade.” he said, reaching into his pocket. Jun stepped around him, reaching into his coat for his pistol.<br/><br/>It was a heavy revolver. Finished in nickle and polished over. It shone in the weak light of Jun's flashlight as he swung it about. Turning the handle around to serve as a club. The Chinese Changu pistol was a heavy beast for sure.<br/><br/>Stepping along the door he reached out and tapped the glass with the butt of the pistol. Testing the glass. It was thin, unreinforced. He had to be careful he didn't swing through it, for sure a piece could fall over his hand. But he wasn't concerned for the pain, just the possibility of a large pane dropping over his wrist.<br/><br/>The Russian watched him as Jun rose his hand, griping the barrel rough in his hand as with a long arc he struck the window.<br/><br/>With a loud crash the pistol crashed through it. The cracks spider webbing from the central contact point exploding quickly outward and falling apart as the glass cleared from the pane in a shower of crystal. Tiny shards falling to the floor.<br/><br/>Jun cleared out the glass before he reached around inside, finding the inside knob and flipping the bolt to unlock it.<br/><br/>“That's one way to open a door.” his partner commented as they stepped in. Glass ground underfoot as the walked into the refrigerated autopsy room.<br/><br/>“Let's find our body then.”"

His hands were bound behind the chair itself and cuffed again to a pole that erected from the ground up to the ceiling. As he looked from one side of the room to the other, he found nothing in it except the remaining concrete walls and ceiling. His concentration was broke to the sound of a heavy door opening and then slamming shut, boots could be heard making their way closer to where he was cuffed. A large man came around his side and the man touched his chin lifting his gaze into the eyes of the man.<br/><br/>""Felix Martinez I presume, weapons smuggler extraordinaire, and a murderer...but I guess that comes with the territory eh Felix?""<br/><br/>Felix still being forced to look up could only smile at being called an extraordinaire. He understood who had him, he understood that the man he was looking at was of military importance. Even the way the man spoke would identify him as military, his accent could be compared to a Brazilian which gave Felix the idea that he was now a prisoner of Brazil.<br/><br/>""I never did such things!""<br/><br/>The large man never entertained the thought and took the words that escaped Felix's mouth only to send them back with a palm to the side of the face. The chair would have fell over from the contact and Felix would have went with it if it were not for the fact he was connected to a pole.<br/><br/>""Save me time Felix...I want to know who you are buying from...that's it, if you can give me this, I may be able to give you something in return.""<br/><br/>Felix reached back for spit and conjured it up using his throat, creating one big ball of spit and flem he spat at the mans shoes. A fist came speeding toward his face with no warning and immediately Felix's vision went black. His body sat limp in a chair with a jaw swelling to the size of a baseball, a cut was created and blood was now sliding down his cheek, whenever Felix decided to wake up it would feel as if he were hit by a freight train and the interrogation would resume.<br/><br/><b>Right Outside One of Allen Ramos' Drug Factories, Colombia</b><br/><br/>Jaco had felt at ease since he had left the meeting and although he had a variety of weapons in his vehicle, he did not feel as though he was watched or followed. Once again, another successful transaction, his vehicle arrived at the location he was told to drop off the weapons at. It was a drug factory for Allen Ramos who was just below the head of the Blanco Cartel. Allen Ramos had been former Colombian Military and when his service was up, Andres Blanco convinced his childhood friend to join the business of making money illegally.<br/><br/>Jaco made it to the top of the driveway and when he exited the car, two armed men approached his vehicle.<br/><br/>""Were you followed?""<br/><br/>Jaco let out a laugh as his ego inflated and waved his head back and forth from side to side, ""Nonsense!""<br/><br/>The armed men waved him through and gates opened to the facility, Jaco's car entered passed the gates and his car was no longer visible to Charlie and his teammate who were occupying the beat up compact car that followed him from the meeting in Yopal.<br/><br/>Charlie reached for a map inside the glove compartment and asked his teammate for a pen. Quickly he jotted down the coordinates of the building and to the side of the map he wrote down a quick description of the location and what they were observing. He needed to radio this information in and then ask for permission to perform further reconnaissance. As of now it was just him and his teammate surveying the area, he needed his team here to begin surveying every bit of the outside perimeter.<br/><br/><b>Undisclosed Location, Brazil</b><br/><br/>A cold sensation rushed over Felix's head and his eyes began to spark life, his vision at first was a little hazy but soon slipped back into normalcy after a few moments passed. His face was sore and he had felt as though he was hit by a train.<br/><br/>Another cold rush hit his face and then draped over his body, water from a second bucket was thrown at him by what seemed to of been a young man dressed in military attire. Felix tried shaking off the throbbing pain in his head and also attempted to shut out the warm pulsing in his jaw from the punch to the face.<br/><br/>The young soldier stepped back after emptying the bucket and walked out of the room, a large uniformed man came out from the corner of the room and approached the seat that Felix was sitting in.<br/><br/>""Felix Martinez...you have been sleeping for quite a bit now, unfortunately I no longer have the patience for you anymore. Things will move rather quickly now and for that...you will be sad, and angry at me.""<br/><br/>A rod was presented by the large man and at the end of it was an overwhelming number of volts surging through the tip. Without hesitation the large figure jammed it into Felix as electricity shot through his body all Felix could do was take it and bite down on his lip. When the electricity ceased moving through his body Felix could taste the iron in his blood as he realized his lip had almost been chewed in two.<br/><br/><b>Brasilia, Brazil</b><br/><br/>Evelyn had already been a few days into her term, it was on the third day from approving Operation Cutthroat, that she heard from Thiago Delgado of the BAF. She had been going over documents that congress wished for her to address at the next meeting and to be honest, making sense of these documents was near impossible. Her receptionist opened the door and said it was urgent for her to take line 1.<br/><br/>Evelyn picked up her phone and opened up line one with her index finger pressing the button next to the one.<br/><br/>""Good Afternoon Delgado, may I ask why I have been graced with your phone call?""<br/><br/>""Ma'am...the first phase of Operation Cutthroat was a success, I'd like to meet with you in private and discuss further what we are going to do.""<br/><br/>""I will make time for you...but this means that you must be in my office within the next hour.""<br/><br/>Evelyn hung up the phone so that a response could not be given, she wanted him in her office ASAP. Her future as the President of Brazil was riding on the success of this operation and at anytime it could go south, she needed to make quick decisions and end this hunt for good."

With a raspy murmur it twitched across the paper supported against the cover of a bound manual sporting<i>Técnicas y métodos de la guerra moderna</i>printed in plain, bold letterhead, leaving a trail of sloppily-written Castillian cursive as it did. Upon completing another handful of lines, he released the pencil from his grasp, letting it fall to the wrinkles of the sheets atop his cot as his eyes scanned the hopefully-complete letter he had finished drafting.<br/><br/><i>Dear Mother,<br/><br/>I hope that this letter finds you and Father well. I am sorry I have not written you sooner; things for us have been quite busy lately! I haven't had a moment to collect my thoughts and put them to pen and paper until now. Since I enlisted I have never been so busy - even during basic training I had more free time to rest and keep up with both of you.<br/><br/>I am sorry to hear about Hugo. I can't see why the Health Ministry would ever think that he of all people would be at risk for contracting the disease they worry so much about. For God's sake, he and Felicia were to be married in August, weren't they? As sorry as I am for her and Father, I wouldn't worry too much about it. There has to be some mistake and I'm sure the Ministry is going to realize that as long as Father keeps trying to get through to them. Even if not, the Ministry has to find a cure for this condition sooner than later. They have quarantined so many people for fear of it - they have to be working on some kind of solution. God willing, Hugo will be released well before his wedding. I'm sure of that.<br/><br/>Malta has been busy ever since the 3rd Mechanized arrived here. General Ponferrada has found no shortage of ways to occupy our time and has seen that we are constantly alert. It is difficult to get five hours of sound rest on any given night - less if the Coronela has planned a drill for deployment during the night. The 3rd Mechanized is ready for anything at any given moment, but nobody is quite sure just what we are getting ready for. Officially, our division had been posted to Malta to protect the territories from the Ottomans after what happened in East Africa. But now the Ottoman Empire has ended, and we are redoubling our efforts now when it seems safest. I do not understand and I don't care to. I only hope that Ponferrada gets tired of tormenting us - and soon!<br/><br/>I'm afraid I don't have time for much more at the moment. I hope that things back home continue to go well, and that Father eventually manages to have the Ministry release Hugo from quarantine. I look forward to hearing back from both of you.<br/><br/>With Love,<br/><br/>Luis Morazan</i><br/><br/>Content with his finished letter and upon finding no errors, he folded the letter into thirds and gingerly stuffed it into a waiting envelope. As he did, the young soldier was taken by surprise as the canvas flap of the entrance of the tent burst open with the swish of disturbed fabric, forcing him to involuntarily crush the envelope in his clenched palm. The fresh recruit dressed only in uniform khakis and a white tanktop flew across the tent with a face drawn into an anxious frown, shooting only a momentary glance at the man laying upon his bed.<br/><br/>""Luis, what the fuck are you still doing in here?"" The tentmate demanded as he feverishly unbuttoned the folded uniform top upon his own cot. His eyes flitted over to his idle tentmate and fell upon the envelope in his hand. ""Jesus, are you seriously writing a letter to mommy right now?""<br/><br/>""N-no!"" Luis stuttered unconvincingly, stuffing the wrinkled envelope underneath his pillow once his tentmate had reverted his view to the shirt he was unbuttoning. ""Why have you returned so soon, Héctor? What's going on?""<br/><br/>""Fucking Ponferrada...""<br/><br/>""Oh God... What's he up to now?""<br/><br/>""Addressing the whole goddamn division."" The tentmate spat as he threw the unbuttoned uniform shirt over shit shoulders and slipped the bottom two buttons in. ""I should have known there was a reason the taskmaster had eased up on on the yoke this afternoon. I'd finish up jerking off or whatever it is your doing - the coronela's going to rip your balls off when he finds out you weren't there. Now come on, I don't want to be the only one showing up late for this thing.""<br/><br/>Without further comment Luis bolted out of bed and followed his companion out into the sprawling field of canvas tents that the Ejercito had assembled on the outskirts of Marsaxlokk to house the thousands of soldiers and servicemen pertaining to the 3rd Mechanized Division. His stomach turned as he looked about the tent city and found it perfectly vacant. On the dirt trail through the camp where hundreds of Ejercito soldados could typically be seen milling about at any given time, Luis saw nary a soul. Above the expanse of tent roofs and the twin cupolas of the Church of Marsaxlokk in the distance were the yellow-red forms of two Spanish flags hanging limply from a pair of flagpoles. In between them, at the assembly ground a half-kilometer away, Luis knew General Ponferrada was preparing to address the whole of the division at that very moment. Héctor took off down the gravel trail to the source of the orders echoing through the apertures of bullhorns. Luis followed closely behind him.<br/><br/>""Hope to Christ the coronelas are all down there already."" Héctor called back the Luis as they jogged past identical canvas pentagons. ""We're fairly-well boned if someone of rank finds us skipping out on the general's debriefing.""<br/><br/>""I'm more worried about Ponferrada myself. He's hardly an understanding man."" Luis added in between pants.<br/><br/>""That's the fucking truth if ever I've heard it spoken. But he'll never notice two grunts missing out of six thousand. As long as we can slip in, I think we'll manage.""<br/><br/>Luis nodded in agreement, though in truth his worries had scarcely been assuaged. It was no secret amongst the men beneath him that General Victor Ponferrada was a brutal, unforgiving man. He had made a name for himself during Spain's intervention against Batista's Italian regime as the captain of a column of Spanish tanks by merit of his speed and savagery against the Batistan loyalists. The rumors that circulated of what became of those hapless Italian prisoners who found their way into Ponferrada's possession were generally accepted to be more than rumors. Where more humane leadership would have opted to reprimand or perhaps even court-martial then-Captain Ponferrada for his questionable use of shock against the loyalist forces, Prime Minister Sotelo himself groomed Ponferrada for rapid placement in the Ejercito's general corps. Suffice to say, the general was not a man to irritate - even with trivial matters.<br/><br/>""We're not going to get there in time going this way."" Héctor huffed, turning into the narrow space between two tents. Luis hesitated for a moment before following his companion into the alleyways between the tents. ""This way, Luis. It's a shortcut.""<br/><br/>As the two made their way through the maze of tents, Luis patted down his head in an effort to even out the mussed mop of hair upon his scalp. After a mere four months since entering basic training for the Ejercito where his head was shaven down to the regulation length of 2.5 cm, a dense mat of wavy hair had already returned to the top of his head and once again had a proclivity to frizzle out of control. The patted-down hair matted against globs of sweat secreted partially due to the midday heat, though most was the result of the circumstances at hand. Luis wiped some of the beads from the forehead and his smooth, hairless face.<br/><br/>Luis Morazan had been subjected to more than a little taunting on the account of his lack of facial hair and his smooth, infantile features. Indeed, the baby-faced young man hardly seemed the kind of young man cut out for a life of soldiering - an unfortunate fact that had elicited all manner of torment from his drill instructors. Luis seemed more at home in a climate-controlled office high above downtown Madrid than amongst these muscle-bound brutes; Luis would much prefer the former were it an option. But economic uncertainty back in Spain triggered by the drying-up of the Murzuq oil fields, coupled with stiff foreign competition for positions on the mammoth Gibraltar Dam had left Luis with no better prospects. But within the Spanish Ejercito, consistently bloated with funding by Sotelo's fascination with a powerful military, Luis found no such shortage of work. He had hoped his military career would be no more adventurous than five years of idle guard duty at a base in Spanish Algeria. The powers that be, however, had other plans.<br/><br/>Héctor came to a stop and held his palm out behind him, halting Luis just before he could bump into him. The sea of tents ended abruptly before Héctor, giving way to several acres of dusty open field upon which a makeshift parade ground had been established. Upon this island of open space within the sea of tents, thousands of soldiers stood in rigid rank and file. Perfect columns and boxes of stoic soldiers in khaki olive uniform stared on across the field to a raised wooden platform flanked on either side by two flagpoles.<br/><br/>""He's not begun, has he?"" Luis asked anxiously.<br/><br/>""No."" Héctor confirmed upon a sigh of relief. ""No, I don't see anyone on the stand. But I do see our company from here. Come on...""<br/><br/>Héctor and Luis slinked in from the tents and quickly melted into the rest of their own company alongside their platoon sergeant, who shot the two a knowing, reassuring glance. If one of the captains or other officers had witnessed the two slipping into formation, they did nothing about it - perhaps because they themselves were afraid to step out of rank before General Ponferrada, even if he was still nowhere to be found.<br/><br/>No sooner than the two had settled in, the crested form of a general's cap could be seen bobbing up ominously from underneath the floor of the wooden platform. General Ponferrada had arrived. With astounding synchrony, the entire army locked their boots together and threw extended palms to their brows in rigid, uniform salute. Every step the general took to the top of the platform could be heard clearly even from where Luis and Héctor stood.<br/><br/>Hawklike eyes scanned over the assembled army as the general assumed his position atop the wooden platform. For several moments, Ponferrada looked back and forth across the soldiers locked in stoic salute, savoring each second before finally putting them at ease with a downward wave of his fingers. With the precision of automatons, the soldiers retracted their arms and stowed them at their sides. The sound of a thousand shirts brushing against themselves, and silence again resumed.<br/><br/>""Men of the Third Mechanized Division. Without doubt, you are aware of the measures of preparedness that this division has undertaken since its arrival here in Malta. I will not deny that I have expected a tremendous expenditure of effort from each and every one of you during our time on this island. I have no illusions - I understand full well that a great many of you see these recent efforts to maintain a constant state of readiness to be a waste of time and effort. If our purpose was to assure the security of the Western Mediterranean from the perils of the imploding Ottoman Empire - as it has been until recently - I would agree that I have demanded a tremendous deal of wasted effort from every last one of you. This, however is not the case.""<br/><br/>Only locusts buzzing in the scrubland beyond the tents responded.<br/><br/>""I am not a man to mince words and I eschew dishonesty whenever possible. In this game of geopolitics and strategy, one can only be so honest. And so it was with the noblest meaning that I have withheld the intent behind these recent operations from this division until this moment. Let it be known to all of you the purpose of our presence in Malta these past weeks: Before this week is out, this division will participate in a military intervention into the Empire of Ethiopia to depose the Yohannes Dynasty and oust all traces of socialist sympathy from the African Continent. On the points of your bayonets, we will drive Hou's sympathizers from the West and carve a line in the sand. We shall send a message written in the blood of their co-conspirators to the Communist lords in Peking: the fighting men of the Republic will burn them and their supporters from every hole they find them. The day of reckoning for Marx's followers draws nigh.<br/><br/>""As I said, I am not one to mince words. The battle to destroy the Chinese pawns in Ethiopia will not be simple. We fight against a seasoned adversary on a homeland they have fought to preserve for many centuries. Arabs, Italians, and Turks alike have tried and failed to dominate the Ethiopians. They are a brave, hardy people, but even they will quail against the horrifying might of the Ejercito and the Armada. Against the ferocity of Spain's fighting men, not even Ethiope shall withstand. The world will bear witness to the truth that there will be no safe haven for the Communists.""<br/><br/>Not a soul among the entire division even thought to follow the debriefing with applause or cheering. In solemn silence, the 3rd Mechanized stood by rigidly as General Ponferrada descended from the platform.<br/><br/>""Jesus Christ, Luis."" Héctor mumbled into his companion's ear. ""We are going to war. Can you fucking believe it?""<br/><br/>Luis wanted to vomit."

Exactly!""...<br/><br/><b>Sevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>...Sahle had only half-way paid attention to his band-mate's conversation as they stood backstage preparing. They had been talking about the other clubs for days, visiting them every time they got a night off. The other ones sounded a world away from the damp, smoke filled bar they had found work in. The others had casinos that stretched across several floors, and music blaring from bands that had more members than<i>The Dead Soldier's Den</i>had patrons on any given night. There was steak dinners that sizzled on their platters, and shows that involved actual nudity. And they paid their gigs in stacks of crisp new Armenian dram.<br/><br/>The Den was none of that. It was dark and cramped. The carpeting always seemed wet, and there was no ceiling between the floor and the shell of the roof. On some days it was too hot, and on others it was too cold, but it was never comfortable.<i>It always smells like piss here. And not healthy piss.</i>Sahle had feared, at first, that Aaliyah would not be able to take it. It was nothing like she was used to. Cairo had dripped with wine and gold, and their club had been alive. The Den felt like a tomb on buried on the edge of the real life. It even had a corpse.<br/><br/>The shriveled remains of the long-dead soldier - or whatever he had been - stood behind glass on the wall above the bar. It was on the opposite side of the stage, and during the rehearsal the pits where its eyes had been seemed to watch. At night, when it was showtime, the shadows of the darkened bar hid it.<i>It is still out there. Watching.</i>The thought made Sahle paranoid.<i>The Acid is kicking in...</i><br/><br/>Aailyah had not left, but he was still worried. He worried about their job, and about her health. On the back of his mind, he worried about his identity.<i>I am Samel now. The drummer, and her man. The rest is behind me.</i>In many ways, it was. His royal birth, his throne, his downfall... it all felt like a different world. Some nights, he looked up at the darkness and it all flooded him at once. Yaqob. Hassan. Baruti. His mother...<br/><br/>But during the day, he forgot. His new world buried the old. That, and chemicals. Marc still managed to find them when others would clearly not be able to. Even as they fled, he had somehow managed to discover hard drugs in monasteries and rebel camps. It was his greatest, if not his only, skill. He had brought them a handful of acid tablets from Africa. They were little and flat, the size of a finger nail and with the appearance of paper. On them, the tiny image of an African man with a wild bush of hair and well kept suit smiled with approval. 'Try me'. It read. And he did. He could fill it pulsing in his veins and pounding in his ears, and a rainbow sheen was starting to whirl where once there had only been moist surfaces.<br/><br/>On the other side of the curtain, where the stage looked out across the crowd, an elderly voice belted out a somber song in heavy Armenian. It was long, and stiff, and full of consonants.<i>These people really love their country to sit through that for it.</i>Sahle thought. When national anthems and parade songs had played in Ethiopia, Sahle had nodded off. Samel simply ignored it. He only noticed when the voice started to dip, and he felt time slow down like craters in the flow of his life.<br/><br/>""How is my tie."" A little man with fluffy hair and rosy cheeks asked. He almost seemed to speak like a child, and watching him fidget with the bow of cloth at his neck was funny in its own way. He was a comedian - a man who just went on stage and told jokes. A showgirl dressed in a short red sequin dress helped him. ""Hold still Darcho."" she said in frustration. ""You're making it worse."" The impatience in her voice made Sahle feel as if he was naked and under attack. He watched them from the corner of his eye, nervous.<i>Was she talking to me?</i>He couldn't be sure. He could never be sure. There were always vultures hiding behind the surfaces, waiting to buzz over and steal him from his life.<br/><br/>Aaliyah came from a hallway, and the ground fluttered beneath her feet. She was angelic - and it wasn't just how she dressed. It was her essence. Light emanated from her skin, and her clothes glowed with colors that did not exist on and three dimensional plain. Below, the cloth was white. She wore a silk veil that covered the upper half of her face - and the bandage that hid her damaged eye from the world. Her shoulders were bare, however, and the dress hugged her cleavage.<i>Her breasts are glittering with rainbows and gold</i>The world around the embattled comedian and his helper now seemed like a demonic dark splotch on reality - pulsing fire and breathing smoke held in check by the divine light that Aaliyah brought with her.<br/><br/>""You're high."" she said in several voices, and Sahle felt like his heart had been punched behind the ribs.<i>Is this how I am to be judged?</i>Sahle worried. She saw through him, however, and a loving smile shined through. She wiped his brow with a small cloth and he stared at the wet geometry playing across the surface of her breasts.<br/><br/>""We at the Den welcome our next guest, Darcho!"" A female shout came from everywhere. Sahle deduced it had been from the other side of the curtain, but the voice still rang in his head. It had made him feel small, like a man shrunk to the size of a mole in threat of being stepped on. Another voice replaced the giant's echo, but this one was different. It was playful, clown-like, and childish. ""<br/><br/>""<i>Friends! Armenians! Lend me your beers!</i>"" the voice made him jump, and he did his best to ignore it.<i>I'm just in a different place right now, and I have done this all before.</i>Sahle was fighting the forces of anxiety in the dark red of his very own veins, but it was a fight he knew.<br/><br/>""We go up next."" the deep string-like voice of their Clarinetist reverberated through across the soft wet wood of the ground below them. He was an Armenian, Sahle recalled. And he was possibly a wrongness. His voice made Sahle uncomfortable, and it kicked up the smell of mold and bones in the wood below. That reminded him of the corpse above the bar.<i>He will be watching tonight, but will he like me?</i><br/><br/>""<i>I went fishing in the lake the other day. I went fishing, and I was very satisfied. I had a very good haul. I pulled up a plump trout, a juuuuiiicy whitefish, and a Georgian.</i>""<br/><br/>That voice. It was evil. Sahle recoiled and his mind broke in two, one to protect while the other marveled. The curtains rustled to the beat of footsteps, like two instruments playing in harmony. It made Sahle hungry for his drums.<br/><br/>The roof popped into place. It often did that, and every time it felt like it was going to fall. For a split second, Sahle thought a midget was going to roll out of the rafters and smash into him like a bomb from above.<br/><br/>""Are you okay to play?"" Aaliyah asked, and he felt like she had become his mother. Or was she? Those memories were beginning to weave. Suddenly, Sahle felt like he was in the gardens again, throwing rocks at Yaqob and Azima as they climbed a tree. And he had been caught, but his mother still loved him. She loved him and she wanted him to be able to play.<br/><br/>""Don't worry, sister."" Yaqob said in a deep, sleepy voice. ""He plays best when he is in the sky.""<br/><br/>""<i>The President asked in his speech that Armenians give up 'Comforts like pots and pans.' When word came to Sevan that the President wanted some pot, our patriotic young people put their stashes in envelopes. You can see the smoke going down the highway.</i>""<br/><br/><i>Will that man stop threatening me?!</i>Sahle shivered.<i>I should send Aaliyah out there to vanquish it. She can do it. She can save me.</i>Before he could muster up the courage to ask, the sea hit the Den. Wave upon wave of crashing force echoed through the main room, and Sahle felt the floor shake. The waves had their own rhythm, and their constant patter reminded Sahle of the sound of his own drums. Before he could contemplate that, the waves subsided and another voice boomed across the stage on the other side of the curtain.<br/><br/>""<i>We have here in the Den a new Abyssinian Blues Band from the darkness of Africa itself. Give it up!</i>""<br/><br/>Sahle heard the roaring waves again, and he watched the curtain anxiously, afraid that water would break through at any moment. He was froze in place, and every slight sway of the curtain caused his heart to skip.<br/><br/>""Come on."" Aaliyah tugged on his arm. They were moving his drums out onto the stage.<i>No! They will drown!</i>He thought, but the words did not come out.<br/><br/>""It is time, brother."" Yared called out. The waves died down, and Sahle suddenly felt like he had been a fool to be afraid. He followed Aaliyah a meek as a child, and they passed through the curtain to the other side.<i>She will protect me. Mother always did.</i><br/><br/>The room was dark, except for the blaring light that hung like a sun above their heads. Sahle was now in his element. He saw his drums, and he saw the long stretching dark beyond the set, and he knew what he had to do. He had to play - play for universe, and for Aaliyah, so they would still accept him into this world. He positioned himself, listening to the music of his every breath. The deep patter, with its wet rhythm And then a slow whine woke the music of the instruments. A slow, tropical twang. It was only a moment until the others joined. The pleasant hum of the clarinet, the lively song of a trumpet, and his own drums joined the lonely Krar. Whatever hateful words or doom-filled waves had sounded across the stage before, it was no replaced with a solidarity of rhythm and meaning. Sahle could feel the strings of the universe itself being plucked in his muscles, and his hands danced across the drums to match it.<br/><br/>And they played. Sahle heard the bubbling sound the brother instruments made. They warped and whinnied, but they met with something so elemental to the cosmos that, for a second, he felt like he had spied the source of all its power. And then the voice started, sorrowful and strong and angelic. It gave him that power. The paranoia and anxiety which had fought throughout his pulsing blood fell back like an army broken against another. It was only him, and the drumsticks in his hand, and the sound that they made, and the sound that the brother instruments made. That was it. The rest of the world was blackness, left to imagination.<i>The dead man is watching, and he is smiling now.</i><br/><br/>Intertwined were the colors of multiple universes, and their past and present and future.<i>The clarinet solo is fine. He is no wrongness. He will make them dance.</i>The place they were in had seen sadness, and so had the other places. The ocean bubbled into the ground, and revealed a cracked earth below riddled with smashed galleys and skeletons in bronze. They weren't supposed to be there, and they knew it. They felt it, somehow, in their absent flesh, and Sahle felt it too.<i>Or am I Samel?</i>Those were too distinct people. The musician and the prince. A past life and a present.<br/><br/><i>The Russians have reclaimed Volgograd and the Americans have rebuilt.</i>He now felt like the world was transforming around him.<i>There are men living in space and that trumpet is tight tonight.</i><br/><br/>A moment stole him back to the stage.<i>It is the voice. She has stopped singing and now it is just...</i><br/><br/>There was a commotion in the darkness. A sun-tanned man held light in his hand, and it flickered as he pointed hatefully toward the stage.<i>It is as warm as a star... no, it is as cold as steel.</i>Someone screamed, and thunder filled the room with it's primal power. Then more screams. Sahle panicked within, but he froze on the outside. He had watched as a flash of fire came from the tanned man. His eyes had went white, and he fell too his knees.<i>The smiling soldier has a new friend.</i>A man stood the tanned man and watched as blood pooled on the ground, rich and red.<i>I know that man.</i>Sahle remembered. He had told them how women had kept his cockadoodle warm. And he had told him, secretly one night, that the old man did not hate Aaliyah. '<i>See that man down there? The old man.</i>' He had pointed one night during rehearsal. The dancing girls had just taken the stage, and Sanos Horasian was slipping his hand down into his pants and began to... move. '<i>I am thinking this is why the old man is no liking womens having jobs. Someday he will be walking into a bank, and he will be seeing the girl behind the counter, and he will be.</i>' Vasily had made a crude move then.<i>Vasily? What world am I in now?</i><br/><br/>There were screams everywhere. The screams of demons and of angels, and of shades who did not matter. They grated at his nerve, and he felt like he should move.<br/><br/>""Do not be worrying."" He heard faintly amongst the cacophony in a familiar sing-songy Russian voice. ""He is dead now."" The speaker kicked the paling tanned man for emphasis, and Sahle thought he heard him cry.<br/><br/><i>In a different world, maybe.</i>"

Hiding it in a cloud of gray matte that shrouded every shape and figure that walked throughout it. In the hazy mist only the echoes of sound boomed. The only sensation in the thick early-morning spring mist. The low rumble of tanks roared distantly and near, loosing themselves to each other in a ghostly chant as above air traffic continued west.<br/><br/>Over the radios, the idle crews and columns listened in to the chatter and reports from the west on the thus-far endless skirmishes that had marched on over the past several weeks. Those skirmishes they waited idle to join. Those skirmishes they were held back from because a general felt they had inadequate backing.<br/><br/>Between the codes and the signaling, the crews gleaned out what was going on. Air support was needed east of Omsk. Someone buckled down in a farmhouse having been surrounded by Republican soldiers. Reports of communist rioting in the city itself, but no formal confirmation on their status, just glazed reports from pilots when the crews surfed the airforce's waves.<br/><br/>For Li Tsung, the nearly unintelligible net of reports punctuated occasionally by the dull throb of explosions was his first taste of combat. A sick churning sensation swam through his stomach. It felt like he was full of eels. Locusts crawled over his heart, and his head swam drunkenly in a lake of anxiety. It was happening, and he balanced tentatively on the brink of it. Teetered on the thin edge of a knife.<br/><br/>Not even sitting inside the confined shell of the TG1980 could bring him balance and comfort. It was more than anything a catalyst, the barely muffled roar of the engine echoed in the pipes and steel shell and a gaseous smell twisted in through his nose. Maybe it was just him though. Maybe it was him. The soldiers he shared the cabin with seemed unfazed or only mildly disinterested with the radio. To them it seemed it was only a minor distraction.<br/><br/>Tsi Lin lay sat in an attempted curl on her aluminum seat just below the turret, the controls propping up her side as she sat wrapped around the inside block of the gun with a tattered comic book in her lap. The gunner's tank-top and unbuttoned uniform did little to hide the soft curve of her breasts. Something that held the young soldier in an uncomfortable spell from his driver's seat.<br/><br/>“Where'd you get the book?” Tsun asked, trying to ignore the fact he was staring up at one of his crew mates.<br/><br/>Lin looked up from the page she was reading, her expression effectively disinterested. “I won it.” she said dryly.<br/><br/>“Won it?” Tsun asked.<br/><br/>“In a game of cards.” Lin nodded, returning to her reading.<br/><br/>“Cards? Isn't that illegal!?” a shocked Tsun said.<br/><br/>“And I like detective comics.” Lin sneered, “Besides, who's going to tell.”<br/><br/>“She's right, you know?” Hui piped up from alongside her, peering into a small mirror as he shaved his head. The loader looked over at the young man, adding with an indifferent shrug: “It could be a worse thing to trade for. I know she's gotten us some spare ammo from the ranks in back.”<br/><br/>“We could always use a few more.” Lin said flatly.<br/><br/>“As long as I don't hear about opium being traded around here I don't feel a need to report.” said the voice of their commanding officer as he leaned over the hatch. “And if no one's coming up here shouting and threatening to gun her down then we're not at a significant enough issue.”<br/><br/>“Oh- well...” Tsun stammered. The thought was uncomfortable to him. On base, he had always been swiftly reminded of the sins, the inequalities associated with it. Now sitting on the field, that seems to have been ignored. A policy forgotten.<br/><br/>“You'll get used to it.” Hui said warmly from his corner.<br/><br/>Tsun sat silenced, stunned, at the driver's seat. Looking between his companions, he didn't know what to think. Shame that they would cheat the army's most honored system? Appreciation for their camaraderie to hide the fact it was going on? Horrified that somewhere in the system, the army could be corrupt? It had always been presented to him to be the purest service.<br/><br/>He could of posed his question. Asked it, but outside the homely, cramped vehicle a commotion arose. Sun Song turned from his crew, distracted by what was going on. There was shouting, chatter. Something even seemed to change in the rumble of the column itself as Song peeled away from the top hatch.<br/><br/>The crew fell into a tense silence with the departure of their commander. Shutting the magazine Lin pulled herself up through the hatch. “Shit, it's the Shaoxiao.” she said, pulling herself back in.<br/><br/>“Kao Hong is here?” Hui said.<br/><br/>Lin pulled herself back up and peeked over the turret again. “Yeah.” she said, falling back in: “And he's got flags.”<br/><br/>A feeling of tensity rose in Tsun's throat, constricting him. Turning in his chair he peered out the narrow block of reinforced glass he was given as a window. Along the edge of the faded and dirty window he could just make out hazy, dark figures on the edge of his viewing range. Barely present shades, with a hint of color. Other forms crossed his path, joining up with the growing assembly.<br/><br/>Curiosity came to Tsun as he reached over and threw open the forward hatch alongside him.<br/><br/>As Tsun pulled himself out, he met eyes with the Shaoxiao Kao Hong. Five meters off, and with an entourage of officers gathering around him the towering officer stood in the nexus of the assembly, looking out over the heads on his men. Flat, broad eyes gazed out to past them to Tsun. The driver felt his skin turn cold. Not just from the steel-cold gaze of the general, but the bundles of red flags, wrapped around aluminum polls tied in bundles, held in the arms of helmeted soldiers at attention.<br/><br/>Kao Hong's face was as powerful as he was tall. An uncany heavy chin supported a long set of lips and a thick flattened nose. His eyes had a coldness to them, if as well a sharp attentive quality.<br/><br/>The two exchanged a brief stare, answered as Hong rose a gloved hand to the brim of his olive-green cap and tipped it to the young private.<br/><br/>“Comrades, it's about time.” he started, turning to the officer and commander corp circled at attention around him, “Huei Wen has given us the time to sit and wait long enough, and he's feeling confident to put a move.<br/><br/>“We're driving into Omsk, comrades. We're going to make good on what we didn't do five years ago.”"

Walinzi agents were there, dressed in black knee-length greatcoats and sunglasses. They looked like reapers, skulking in the corner and talking in hushed voices about something Sisi could not understand.<i>Malta. I am absolute on this matter. One of the phantomed operatives made mention of that knighted isle.</i><br/><br/>He sat in the back of an air-conditioned limousine, the noontime Addis Ababa sun darkened by the tint of his windows so much that it looked like dawn. The seats were slick black leather, and the plush lining of the frame was an eggshell white. Sisi rested royally with his leg on one cheek, his body turned so that one pressed firmly ahead of the other. A gold tipped cane rested next to him, holding down a perfectly folded oil-black coat.<br/><br/>From the outside, his ride looked out of place among the weighed down sedans and ill-repaired trucks with their chipping paint and make-shift parts. His was a Maybach - an old symbol of German luxury from a generation ago when the last of the true European aristocrats began to fade away . White-wall tires, washed tirelessly by those in his service and protected by polished black fenders. The nose of the car was long and thing, ending in a silver grill and impeccable raised round headlights. The cab was more than any simple four-door sedan - it was smooth and rounded, like something designed by artisans rather than engineers. It was what any gentleman such as Sisi would prefer. Sisi had traveled Europe in his youth, and he had fell in love with the ruins that existed behind the modern reconstructions. Old castles hugging hilltops, velvet carpets and silk sleepwear. He discovered western learning and western speech. He loved it all, and it defined him.<br/><br/>But he had never been to Malta. He knew little about the island, save for its Christian past. The Knights of St. John - crusader knights that had harried the Holy Land as the Knights Hospitaller - held the island against Turks and ruled it as their sovereign land through the European golden age, until Napoleon took it. And then it was British. And then it was Spanish.<br/><br/><i>Hispania. There is that heinous name label again. How they vex my employers.</i>The image of Sotelo made newspapers and television broadcasts more often than any other world leader. He was a well dressed man, with slicked back hair and pointed features. There was a charisma too him that was difficult to nail - different from Yaqob's young warmth. It was stone, solid and certain. But there was also something else.<i>I am scholar of the mind and an abiding student of the brain. Sotelo is concealing a truth with... those eyes.</i><br/><br/>Spain was a unique customer from the perspective of Sisi's... other ventures. The Spanish had money - more money than there was in Africa, there was no doubt - but there was some obstacle in the way of Sisi's custom. It was not simply borders - smugglers always found a way, even into the supposedly impregnable China. Spain had simply not warmed up in the way he would have liked.<br/><br/>Psychedelics were a unique sort of drug. Uppers and downers had ruled the market for ages, with the more hallucinogenic narcotics hiding in monasteries and sweat lodges. Someone had once told him that psychedelic mushrooms had been found to be relatively abundant on Sinai, where God was said to have given Moses the laws of the land. It was blasphemous, surely, but it was hard for Sisi to pretend that it wasn't an amusing fact at least. When he had heard it, he had smirked and done the sign of the cross lazily - but sincerely - over his chest.<br/><br/><i>Malta</i><br/><br/>Sisi thought of knights again, and he thought of Sotelo. It brought an image of the later to mind, dressed in silvery steel with a surcoat displaying the Spanish flag.<i>I imagine that is how he sees himself.</i><br/><br/>They reached one of the centers of the city, where three of the capitol's main arteries met in a single turnabout. In the center was the statue of a lion carved in stained dark granite - some of the stains coming from the rock, while others were simply the white smear of bird droppings. It was a true enough depiction of a lions form, but there was something square about the design. The folds of its mane, the shape of its paws against the flat top of its base, and it's sturdy jaw... it was all square in some vague way. In it's left paw, it held a long sceptre and on it's head it wore a crown topped by the Ethiopian cross - a cross whom's branches flared out into three ornately designed diamond shapes.<br/><br/>And behind him, a panorama of the city spun around.<br/><br/>Addis Ababa was small. White-wash buildings stood next to egg-shell blue and pale pink, each one heavily plastered. There were a few buildings that could truly be called skyscrapers. Few of them reached even twenty floors, and even fewer - a small handful of towers built from dull concrete and glass - reached thirty or forty.<br/><br/>Sisi reached for a small manila folder sitting neatly next to his coat. The label on top of it read ""Project Think.""<i>What a ghastly title.</i>He opened it and flipped several pages in.<br/><br/>It was all updates on the discoveries of his laboratory in the depths of the Congo. The subjects there had been acquired from the Germans during their invasion six years prior, and they had mostly been used up. The few remaining - a few hundred at best - had been moved to a new facility in the jungle interior. If Sisi had been given a choice, he would have managed them completely alone - a subsidiary of the school he operated in Kinshasa. Those students who rose to the very top of his classes were given the privilege of working on his prized subjects.<i>With exception of the one who protested so indignantly. That was ugly business.</i><br/><br/>But the rest of his manpower came from the Walinzi, and Sisi's friendship with Ras Hassan. They had met during that war, when Sisi fed Hassan the basic materials he needed to win. Food, clothing, ammo... Hassan had found himself trapped in the African interior, and Sisi's supplies were the lifeblood of his war effort.<br/><br/>Sisi flipped a few more pages.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent"">Slow substitution of CSF with Lysergide produced limited results. Early experiences suggested a reaction similar to typical inter-venous usage, but this was soon followed by a catatonic state. Death followed. The statistical outflows...</div><br/><br/><i>A peculier choice for experimentation.</i>Sisi wondered. He had preferred surgical matters to these more chemical ones, but he was proud to admit that his students had discovered interesting bits of information as well. Still, the Congo lab was no longer interesting. Too much had been done there already, and even their remaining subjects had nearly reached the point of being so often used that there were too many confounding factors working against their experiments.<br/><br/>""Doctor."" the driver called back. Sisi looked up and recognized where they were immediately. ""We have arrived. Your plane is ready on the tarmac.""<br/><br/>""Pleasant. Marvelous."" Sisi answered. He scooped up his cane and folded his jacket under his arm.<br/><br/><i>Enough of Africa. I have a better laboratory to revel in.</i>"

A soft, intermittent rapping against the riveted metal sheeting that comprised the roof increased in pitch gradually until a steady pitter-pattering could be heard reverberating into the bus. Outside it had started to rain, Julio concluded. For the first time since he had stepped aboard the vehicle some three hours ago, he had some indication of what was happening outside the bus on which he found himself.<br/><br/>He had been flown from Madrid to the smaller regional airport at Bilbao. It was there that Julio had been joined with a group of prisoners of some fashion hidden from sight within the interior of another hangar. There, he and his new companions were herded aboard what had once been a prison or school bus. Regardless of whoever it was originally built to transport, the vehicle had been requisitioned by Spain's Ministry of Health obviously enough as the ministry's name had been stenciled in bold, black Castillian for all to see. Save for for the foreboding lettering and the windshield, every surface of the vehicle had been painted over a uniform, drab gray. Even the windows had been covered with the same coat of thick gray, allowing only a faint glow to shine in from the outside.<br/><br/>Though Julio could see nothing outside the bus, he had some idea of where he was. For much of the drive, he was pressed into the backrest of the minimally-padded bench that passed for his seating and the engine could be heard rumbling angrily beneath the corrugated metal flooring as the bus crawled up a seemingly endless number of inclines. The bus moved slowly and he felt himself being forced out into the aisle or pushed into the shoulders of the neighbor he had been seated with as the vehicle negotiated what could only be switchback turns. They were driving east into the Basque County - the rural foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains - to Arratzu.<br/><br/>Julio could recall the senatorial hearing that had given the Ministry of Health free reign to do what they wished with their new facility at Arratzu. The<i>Instituto Arrazua</i>, as the senatorial paper-pushers had called it, had been built in the late 1930s as an insane asylum. The crisp, clean air of the remote Basque hill country, the psychiatrists concluded, would have palliative qualities that would ease the misery of the irreparably deranged and retarded. Within two decades however, the Institute was abandoned and sat vacant for nearly thirty years. By 1977, Spain's Ministry of Health decided that giant brick edifice, being so far removed from any centers of large population, would be a safe place to quarantine the victims of the disease that destroyed the immune systems of all those it infected - the plague brought back from the barbarous heart of the Dark Continent in the bodies of Spanish soldiers returning home from the Rio Niger Intervention.<br/><br/>Julio Zuraban was swollen and bruised from the preliminary ""interrogation"" meted out upon him by the Oficina de Inteligencia Militar, but he was no sick man and the 30 odd people he shared this bus with appeared no more ill than he. From underneath a lump of his swollen, purple eyebrow, the exiled senator's eyes flitted about the interior of the bus in what dim, gray light could make it through the windows. It was a diverse group - a sizable minority of them dressed in black business slacks and wrinkled button up shirts. Some among them might had been working in offices in the glittering canopy of Madrid's<i>Distrito Manzanares</i>just hours before. Others still were of blue collar persuasion, perhaps a doctor and nurses still clad in their scrubs; Julio was almost certain he had seen a priest dressed in a plain black clerical suit. Indeed they came from all walks of life, but among them all there was but one thing that united them.<br/><br/>Hushed, worried murmurs floated through the stuffy and uncomfortably warm air amongst the patter of raindrops and and the whine of the engine. Snippets of conversations found their way to Julio's ears.<br/><br/>""This must all be a great misunderstanding"", he had heard numerous times.<br/><br/>""Our names must have been swapped with the infected or something to that effect. We will simply tell them that they have the wrong ones.""<br/><br/>""So help me God, the Ministry will be hearing from my attorneys!""<br/><br/>In this way the other passengers kept themselves reasonably quieted. Though worry manifested itself as trembling in their voices, their assurance that this entire affair was a colossal mistake kept the passengers from erupting into complete panic. Julio, however, heard no such denial from the man seated beside him. In a dejected torpor he sat, staring listlessly at the raised bumps pressed into the metal floor. It was Julio's suspicion that he too knew why he found himself on a bus bound for a remote stretch of the Basque Country; that there had been no mistake in his sequestration. The benchmate, like Julio Zuraban and every other person seated on this bus, had somehow vexed Alfonso Sotelo. Arratzu now served to contain a new infection: dissent.<br/><br/>The patter of raindrops against the roof of the bus had intensified into a constant din as what little light passed through the paint-obfuscated windows all but died out as the skies outside darkened. A distant, rolling thunder distracted the passengers for long enough to forget that the bus had slowed to a crawl. Their murmuring was silenced briefly as they felt the vehicle jerk to a stop. With a pneumatic hiss, the bus had at last come to a halt. No sooner, the inside of the bus erupted into uproarious chatter as the passengers demanded to be let off as many struggled to their feet. The driver, hidden away in his separate cabin of one-way mirrors at the fore of the vehicle, offered no response.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROkbUTPQT7k&amp;t=01m44s"">((Suggested listening))</a><br/><br/>It was then that the handle on the back door of the bus began to rattle loudly - immediately muting all aboard and drawing their undivided attention to the back of the vehicle. The rear exit of the bus was drawn open and a snarling doberman leaped into the center aisle from outside. Frothy spittles dribbled from the hound's sneering maw as it let forth a savage volley of growling barks. The passengers quailed at the attack dog and pushed themselves as far away from the beast as they could humanly get and Julio and his neighbor both bolted to their feet.<br/><br/>A humanoid figure wearing a variation of the Great War gas mask, dripping from the pouring rain outside the bus clambered up into the rear of the bus after the hound. With a short leash in one hand and a long, cylindrical cattleprod in the other, the guard stole the attention from even the growling doberman bouncing against the taut leash.<br/><br/>""Get off!"" The masked figure ordered, no less authoritative for being muffled by his headgear. The retractile door at the front of the bus slid open, offering an outlet for the passengers that they took with gusto. Even with the passengers nearly climbing over one another to get off the bus, the masked guard was not satisfied with their pace and jabbed the diodes of his cattleprod into the back a white-collar office worker unlucky enough to find himself at the back of the bus. An anguished yelp and the smell of ozode filled the bus, providing Julio that much more motivation as he pressed his way into the current of panicked passengers scrambling for the front exit.<br/><br/>The passengers forced themselves violently through the door of the bus, expulsing Julio out into the world and face-first into a gravelly puddle at the foot of the bus. Immediately, a gas mask-donning guard armed with a cattleprod descended upon him.<br/><br/>""On your feet!"" Julio heard over the fat drops of rain falling down upon his body and the puddle he was half-submerged within. Before he could regain his footing, a burning, stinging sensation on his asscheek sent his entire body flailing about like a beached fish.<br/><br/>""On your feet, damnit!"" The guard demanded, stabbing the diodes into the puddle this time. With an arc and a popping buzz, the entire puddle was electrified and Julio screamed and floundered about as the water turned into a million burning needles.<br/><br/>""<i>Carajo!</i>"" Julio rasped. ""Fucking stop it already!""<br/><br/>A powerful gloved fist yanked Julio out of the puddle by the collar and dragged him onto his feet after the other arrivals. His gait was floppy and uneven, as his muscles still quivered from the jolt of electricity. Even so, he moved as quickly to avoid another round from the electron baton.<br/><br/>Rising up from the wooded hills surrounding it was a massive, featureless building built of red brick and mortar. No windows or architectural frivolities were to be found on its facade. One might have mistaken it for an oversized and misplaced warehouse were it not for the guard towers, spotlights, and double perimeter of fencing crowned in razorwire. One would be challenged to find a prison as well equipped or defended as Arratzu was; flashes of rumbling thunder only served to make the structure that much more imposing.<br/><br/>The new arrivals were herded through a wide double door flanked on either side by guards accompanied by growling attack dogs - the only feature of note on its frontal exterior. Like cattle, Julio and the other thirty or so were directed into a holding room where a cadre of masked guards pressed them all against a cinderblock wall. With their backs to the door and their palms on the wall, the guards took boxcutting knives and sliced through the back of their garments. Julio felt a deft tug on his collar followed by a loud, rip just behind his ears before his shirt fell off his body in a sopping, muddy heap. Another slice against the hem of his pants sent those too falling around his ankles, leaving Julio in his underwear, socks, and a muddied pair of pants hanging limply at his feet. It was apparent that several a handful of the other arrivals had soiled their undergarments. The arrivals were then instructed to remove the rest of their clothing. Those who tarried felt the sting of an electric baton.<br/><br/>A jet of freezing water lanced into Julio's back, eliciting a welp and a grimace as icy water poured down his exposed back . His hair matted into a curled, stringy mop of frigid water and dripped with each shiver. As the rest of the newcomers were hosed down and deloused, a gloved hand seized the former senator by his quivering arm and dragged him away from the others to the corridors within the heart of the cavernous building. Julio's head spun and the world was becoming darker and fuzzier around him; the cold had sent him tumbling into shock.<br/><br/>""Senator Zuraban."" A softer-tongued man addressed him as he was led away from the others into a nebulous haze. Julio was in no position to respond - he could do little more than keep his head upright and his eyelids open. ""We have some questions we would have you answer...""<br/><br/>He descended from consciousness as his captor spoke again."

We're going to make good on what we didn't do five years ago.” Kao Hong boomed above the idling grumble of Chinese armor. Their guttural rumbling throbbed through the air with the whetted throat of dragons. If the carved and angled blocks of steel had the faces of beasts, there would be without a doubt that blood was craved. Even as stoically hidden by his officers, the Shaoxiao could see into their souls. They were looking for blood as much as their boats were. Many were fresh and the virgin desire to prove themselves was full throttle. Those who has tasted the bitterness of gun powder stood on the cusp of preparedness, their desire more than infantile blood lust, like a young boy craves wet pussy; they were men of reason in this, they knew it was coming and they only wished to see it to the end.<br/><br/>“Our armed forces may have been taken by surprise on the first dive,” he continued, “But we will not! The mustered strength of our foes have not carried on for this long and they have broken their own spirits! Let me re-affirm the briefings, those that we have all been given.<br/><br/>“The Republic is broken. It has begun its death when they so cowardly surrendered their president to us! And when the weak coward was found dead in his cell!” he continued to shout, only half-lying. For the weakened will of the former president Dimitriov did not resign his life to death's grip. It was what came unromantically, in the lunch line, with kuàizi shoved deep into his belly over a dispute with fruit. But if the Intelligence Bureau had ever needed a cleaner, accidental assassination it was then. “Their country is over run with criminals and whores prostituting themselves on the decay and deception cast on their people, throwing them headfirst into a world of putrid decadence eating their very bodies from the inside out!<br/><br/>“Our course is not a curse on them, comrades! It is a blessing we bestow on them. To enter into a protective fold where their cancers may be purged from their bodies with a hot iron and every man and woman there can live the lives their parents and grand parents intended. Not at the yoke of some other man's greed but the social unity they will find in Revolution! The physical spirituality of a society set on the road to communism!<br/><br/>“This is what we are here for. Let them not tell you otherwise! We are here for freedom. Freedom for the yokes of the mafia class and the tzarist vampires that duck the proud working man alive. And we will achieve. By the sweet of our brows we will achieve and I shall not have failure! And neither will Hue Wen. Neither will China be shamed!”<br/><br/>“Come on, where we rolling!?” shouted a commander, his voice was jovial and excited. Impatient at the same time.<br/><br/>Kao Hong smiled, his unphased and indifferent face alighting with a sort of fatherly admiration. “A man after my heart!” he boomed, laughing, “It is why I love you all as brothers.” he laughed, “But if we are already motivated, I won't let it go any further than it needs to go.<br/><br/>“We're riding on the city of Omsk, on the trial of the 1st Sibirian People's Guard to bolster their ranks with our fresh armor. On our tails the 12th Heilongjiang corp will be traveling with the assistance of 3rd Manchurian engineers who will assist our Russian brethren skirmishing against the enemy to hold a central position and establish for our needs a forward operating position.<br/><br/>“We will not hold our ground for any long than one hour and ten minutes. In which time you shall designate yourselves to defend the designated forward operations base or seek mechanical or medical attention where need be. Reports from the front have yet to report that the Russians have in their armory any mobilized armor. I am thus operating on the aerial and field reports that their armored divisions are currently out of commission or too far behind enemy lines to make full use of themselves.<br/><br/>“There is word of light re-purposed civilian vehicles in the region. But I don't fear them. Their harassment will only be like bees to the shell of a tortoise! Grind them up like paper and leave them to burn when you encounter them.<br/><br/>“I am not holding out on the possibility they have it deployed but inactive until we have dispatched our own armor. But I am not ordering the advanced deployment of the TG1980 columns. For this purpose on this first day those old veterans in the old TG1965 columns will be running point to conceal the new armor. But if there is any large-scale fire on you, then pull back and call for the assistance of the closest newer model boat. And those of you in the new toys will respond!<br/><br/>“Failure to comply on my orders will face punitive action. I will revoke commander privileges and write the papers for dishonorable discharge. For this reason, stay on the radio to give regular status updates. I expect your status to be confirmed by your neighbors.<br/><br/>“As soon as a forward operations is established I and the 13th Heilongjiang and the 3rd Liaoning Cannon will set up fire positions on Omsk itself. For you men wait for order confirmation on establishment of the forward base.<br/><br/>“Are we clear, comrades?”<br/><br/>“Yes, sir!” the officer corp saluted.<br/><br/>“Very well brothers, man your stations. We're going in hot. Mark your targets, and leave none of our blood on our hands.”<br/><br/><b>Russian Far North</b><br/><br/>Snow still covered the ground, whipping through the desolate open landscape. Howling between gnarled twisted trees stripped of their needles. The desolate landscape rolled through the hills with sparse wooden groves to block the wind. On the cusp between the living world and a frozen hell to the north a secluded camp of wrought scrap iron stood. Banks of snow had drifted up to and clung to the side of the protective walls, creating less a barrier for entry and more a hole to guard against bombing raids. But the inert dismay of the post's garrison betrayed any sense of danger that would be had at the line between nations.<br/><br/>Though the mercury declared the day to be a balmy zero degrees centigrade, the wind was a whole other matter. Here, it tore from the south and drove cold knives into the men who opted to stand around fires, or the open engines of grumbling bar-framed buggies. The scene spoke in its own way, seemingly suggesting the world had succumbed to a chemical winter. The silence of the garrison cursed the settlement. A curse spoken with no incantation.<br/><br/>Ragged tarpaulin tents and sheet-iron barracks made for temporary shelter that leaked comfort.<br/><br/>“We've got the orders.” grumbled a comm officer. A scraggly beard grew from his chin. His already squinted eyes were pressed harder against the cold that wafted through the command post in sharp biting drafts, “We can finally fucking move!”<br/><br/>“I am as cold as you are, brother.” a senior officer said. His rank suggested he could be older than the bearded officer. But the collar of his coat parted back from his face showed a man of equal age to him. In his late thirties, Quan Yun-qi could hardly claim the physical scars of war that his older contemporaries or his superiors would so proudly boast about. Tokens forced on them from the Revolution, or the excursions into Taiwan and Korea. But it was not to say he was any less ample for the role of a colonel.<br/><br/>The dark combed back hair of Yun-qi had seen the Philippines many times over. He was sharp in training, and regarded well by the drill staff there who made sure to push him harder and further than his contemporaries. And his brown eyes had seen the crucifixions and the man-bombs of Mindanao.<br/><br/>“So are you eager to move?” the comm officer said, “Because if we stay here long I imagine Tsien Huang won't ever use that flamethrower of his to keep anything warm, at least not in a good way.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” Yun-qi said distantly. He did sorely wish to be home in the south again, although he never thought to describe Manchuria as being 'south'. But the warmth of his wife and child was as good as any summer sun, and here in Russia it seems the concept of “spring” never reached anyone's ears. Not even the sun, which was beginning to linger too long in the sky. Could he tell what time it was anymore? How early in the morning was it?<br/><br/>“I'll take it that the buggies are chained up and ready to roll? And the six-wheelers?”<br/><br/>“I imagine so.” the comm officer grumbled, looking over towards the radio he kept tucked in the corner. He had a small barrel near by that burned with wood-fed fire. Next to it a stack of wood rose on the table like some sort of cold, dreary cairn.<br/><br/>“We've been waiting on this for just short of a month after all.” he added as an afterthought.<br/><br/>“Then to say we're leaving will be a morale booster enough for the unit.” Yun-qi smiled, digging through some briefing papers, looking for something.<br/><br/>“Yeah, and where are we going?” the comm officer asked.<br/><br/>“If I can find it, I would tell y-” he started, pausing abruptly as he paused mid-way, “here it is!” he laughed, pulling out a folded map.<br/><br/>Closing the brief folder he unfolded the map on his desk over it. Between the seams was a faded portrait of Russia. Criss crossing lines over top it traced coordinate sectors over top Northern Siberia, which lay warped from one corner to wrap curved to the other, the lines following and accentuating this curve more.<br/><br/>“There's an installation there that intelligence dubs as site 62-69.” Yun-qi said, pointing to a small black X, “We're a long march behind, but we won't have any interference. The Russians attention is to the south where our own Russian allies have been trying to pull the countryside apart from Surgut to Omsk. They've opened for us a black hole we're using to hit along a few other units.<br/><br/>“We're going to take Site 62-69, which is believed to be Imperial prison, but there's indication it's being used to house soldiers now. I've been told if it's gone it'll destabilize Republican ability in Khanty-Mansi and we can overrun the area once we shut down radio communication and cut their distribution network.”<br/><br/>“And why are you telling me this?” the communications officer asked, baffled.<br/><br/>“Because you handle enough of my outward and inward communications I don't care.” he said, “And you'll be far enough in the back it won't matter. I'd also like someone else here to know what we're doing.”<br/><br/>“It'll only take five minutes at most to go, so let's go tell the boys.”<br/><br/><b>Southern Urals</b><br/><br/>“So the man returns!” a booming voice shouts in the large fire-lit office. A warm comfort fills the room, as with warm late-spring sun. Gold and amber light filled the office, which resembled more a living room. And its head, dressed in an Imperial uniform was the home's resident. His features dramatic and handsome, if strongly indifferent to the agents' presence. If anything, his sharp blue eyes shone with a interest in the potential information the ears would hear. He rested the whole of his wait on a single powerful hand as he leaned on the back of a chair.<br/><br/>Jun gave the blonde general no empathy or apathy. He had been ringing around long enough to convince him to the Chinese side of the current conflict, but his adventures weren't lighting the kind of fire his superiors wanted. Not the kind that burned in the fire-place, warm and healthy.<br/><br/>At the same time, he had warmed and a few of the lower ranks had come to respect Jun, or fear him. Which ever it was.<br/><br/>Jun wasn't alone. The partner appointed to him by the general was with him on one side. On the other, a smaller less physical sort of central Asian stood. Ulanhu, a Mongolian. He was enough to impress a man while in his uniform, but that was only in the realm of political courtesy. He was short, even by Asiatic standards. His eyes mousey and nose broad. He wore thick glasses and his hair was starting to thin early. He was an unlikely accomplice to Jun, who was tall and better built; a man without pain.<br/><br/>“I am ready to give the debrief, Makulov sir.” Jun said.<br/><br/>Makulov nodded, his lips neither curling in a frown or a smile.<br/><br/>“Upon being issued this mission April 20th, I and Ivan tracked the target Vladimir Peterovisk to his residence in a central-city apartment in the Republic capitol of Yekaterinburg. On April 24th upon locating his apartments I discovered a security guard tracks the traffic in and out of the building On April 25th I managed to seize a copy of the entrance and exit notes kept by him. I and Ivan ascertained his movements and stacked out a firing position from an abandoned project a block down from Mr. Peterovisk's residence and we set up a firing position.<br/><br/>“We dropped him in his bathroom on the first of May, scrounged his apartments the night after, and broke into the morgue to confirm the kill.” Jun continued, “Well searching his apartments I located a cache of weapons that suggest his association with the Mafiya, and Ivan located his address book and a telegram addressed to him.”<br/><br/>“Do you have these papers?” Makulov asked, “And the photos?”<br/><br/>Jun stepped aside, giving Ulanhu room as he stepped forward and pulled a file from his coat. “Comrade Ivan, can you confirm our allies story on this?” the general asked as he received Ulanhu's debriefing work.<br/><br/>“I can, sir.” Ivan said, “And what the China man says is true to the word. If I might say, scarily to date.”<br/><br/>“Thank you.” Makulov said to both the Mongol and his subordinate as he looked down into the paper work.<br/><br/>“Going through the address book I was able to find correct matches to the currently known names for several Mafiya aliases.” the Mongol said uncomfortably as he stepped back from the general, “Or at least what information your unit had written down. This- this all having been done yesterday as we prepared this.”<br/><br/>“I see.” Makulov grumbled. “Child of the Devil?” he crooned curious as he lifted up the small telegram from the folder, “Do any of you have any idea on who this is?” he asked, ample curiosity showed itself on his words.<br/><br/>“No.” Jun said.<br/><br/>“I- I don't have any ideas myself.” Ulanhu stuttered, “It could be anyone I think. Perhaps they don't like a politician in the Republican government and are looking to kill their kid. But it shouldn't be that hard to find a kid, can it?”<br/><br/>“Not unless they're being protected by a rival Mafiya faction.” Makulov grumbled, “But you have the names confirmed to some known leads then?”<br/><br/>“I do.” Ulanu mumbled, biting his tongue, “Peter Veshenko, Adrian Nikov, Arkady Bishko...”<br/><br/>“What about the rest?” Makulov interrupted.<br/><br/>“I don't think they're all Mafiya.” Ulanhu said, “It would be dangerous to assume they are, after all. We might kill someone who isn't even relevant. Even as tight-knit these men come.”<br/><br/>“I see.” Makulov grumbled, “Well, we got names, so we can weed them out.” he added with finality, closing the briefing folder, “And I would say we got our next move.” he continued, handing the folder back, “I want you to copy the names and addresses of every person in that book, comrade. Jun, you earned yourself some rest until your friend finishes his job. When he is done, speak with me.”<br/><br/>“Understood.” Jun said plainly.<br/><br/>“Good.” Makulov sighed, “You're all dismissed, thank you comrades.”"

Numb. The air was cool and wet from the mist running off the marble fountain in the center of the garden, and the green grass was weighed down by dew protected from the sun by the shade of the palace itself. The building was smooth brownstone, with pearly white arches protecting the collonade. Birds sung peacefully in the trees, and the calm babble of the fountain should have made her feel comfortable, if not happy.<br/><br/>But it didn't.<br/><br/>Her mother-in-law - the Queen Dowager Elani - was one of the kindest women she had met. She had become her mother, in a way, in law and in her mind.<i>My real mother was taken away. Now i'm losing another...</i><br/><br/>She had be raised with the royal children, spending her childhood playing in the gardens with Yaqob and pining over his older brother while her father, Ras Hassan, discussed politics. Hassan was a cold man, and fatherhood had not warmed him. She had learned later that he had not wanted to take her from her mother at all - the decision had been made by Yohannes. 'My fathers men don't want a Somali upstart to come before them' Yohannes had argued. He had not been the Emperor yet - just the governor of Wollo, with grand plans for the future that would follow his ailing father's passing. Hassan had risen fast, and his popularity with the Prince annoyed those who he threatened to replace. Old names, those that had followed Iyasu when his reign was still uncertain. They argued that Hassan was a thug, and the allegation that he had raped a woman in his home country of Somalia only fueled their campaign against him. Yohannes told him to marry the woman and adopt the child she claimed was his, but he proved to stubborn too marry. He took Azima and left her mother behind.<br/><br/>But Elani had filled that gap. She had always been a sweet woman, willing to treat the lost little girl from the shanties of Mogadishu with the same care she gave her own children. She had heard the homesick little girl when she was frightened and helped in any way she could as that same little girl grew into a headstrong, but lost, adult. Sadly, the world did not repay her kindness. A bullet ended her marriage, and the threat of war caused her oldest son to disappear - a disappearance that only Azima understood, but even to her seemed to have ended in death. A second bullet had nearly taken her second son from her, and even though he lived it had left him scarred and surly. She had lost so much, but now she was losing her self.<br/><br/>The doctor was young - hardly twenty five if he was that old at all. His skin was the color of coffee and his eyes brown pearls behind a pair of glasses with circular frames.<i>Too young. What could he possibly know?</i>He had came recommended by Dr. Sisi himself - the wealthy psychiatrist who had surprised the medical establishment across the world when he presented them with advances Azima didn't quite understand. He had spent the better part of a week interviewing Elani privately, and his diagnosis came as no surprise. Early onset Dementia. Her brain was dying and she was fading away.<br/><br/>""We can make her comfortable, of course."" the doctor explained. ""She will be aware of it at times, and it will distress her. But I can prepare a small team to help her cope.""<br/><br/>""Will she need to be moved."" Yaqob asked. He held Tewodros in his arms as the child slept. To Azima, it looked like he was holding him close to himself for comfort.<i>This bothers him more than it bothers me. This is his mother, and the last of his family besides Taytu.</i>Taytu had meant to be there for the diagnosis, but work had taken her. There were reports of suspicious action being taken by the Spanish forces in the Mediterranean. An informant had sold information to several agencies that a Spanish commander had made his troops aware that they were planning to invade Africa.<br/><br/>A warm gust caught the doctors coat, sending its open sides flaring like two white flags hanging from his shoulders. Underneath, he wore an orange sweater with a student's identification tag pinned to the chest<i>Dr. Malcolm Orji.</i>He was charismatic in a soothing kind of way, but there was a subtle hint of distance in his eyes. Was she just thinking of Sisi? The Good Doctor - or so his students seemed to call him - was ice hidden a smile. He spoke like a thesaurus who's understanding of the world had came from reading a dictionary, but that wasn't what his ice was. It was hidden in his face. His smile was always the same, more condescending than warm, as if everything around him was a joke. And his eyes... he looked at people with the same focus he used to stare at a piece of art or a plate of food. He had done a lot for them, but what he truly felt was... Azima didn't like to think of it.<br/><br/>""Your home is large enough for us to take care of her here."" the young doctor assured. There was a tenderness in his voice that made her comparisons to Sisi fade away. ""And it will be better for her"""

He brought a heavy hand up to his face, covering his eyes, and slowly pulling the hand down until he reached his beard, which he gave a slight tug before releasing. With a sudden stop of the pen tapping, the prime minister stood up and walked to a book case, hovering his finger over the titles as he looked for something in particular.<br/><br/>Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Pyke looked up from his search just long enough to motion for his bodyguard to open the door. The young man nodded, and pulled open the door without taking one step out of his position. Once opened, a tall, lanky man entered the room carrying a folder.<br/><br/>“Sir, today's mail.” said the man.<br/><br/>“Yes, yes, just leave it on the desk. I'll get to it soon.” Pyke replied, still not looking away from the book shelf.<br/><br/>“I'm sorry sir, I may be crossing the line here, but... You should read it now. There is something in it that you would very much like to see.”<br/><br/>Raising an eyebrow, Pyke slowly turned and eyed the man up and down. He really was a twig of a man. His short black hair was slicked back, and his blue eyes hidden under a large pair of round glasses. A sharp, pointed nose jutted out from under them, which created a shadow over a thin pair of lips. In comparison to Pyke, who was a bit on the heavier side, this man looked like he would be knocked over by the smallest gust of wind, which Pyke swears he has seen happen before.<br/><br/>Slowly making his way back to the desk, Pyke gave the man a slightly concerned and confused look. “You can take a seat, Thomas. The mail isn't going to go anywhere. You know that, right?”<br/><br/>As Pyke said the last words, Thomas snapped out of whatever trance of excitement he was in, and nodded. “Yes sir, of course!” Taking a seat across the desk from the Prime Minister, Thomas sat up straight, and stared at the Prime Minister, awaiting his response.<br/><br/>Getting concerned now, Pyke picked up the mail and sorted through it all.<br/><br/>“Junk, garbage, a letter from my sister, more junk, an invitation, a letter from Aus-”<br/><br/>Pyke cut off after reaching the letter in the back, and slowly raised it closer to his face, taking a better look. After confirming it is what he thought it was, Pyke grabbed a letter opener, and slowly opened the envelope, taking extra care not to hurt the letter within. After gently pulling the paper out of it's travel case, Pyke began to read it aloud.<br/><br/>By the time he had finished, the look of worry on his face turned into a look of pure enjoyment.<br/><br/>“Thomas. I... I don't... Can you believe this?”<br/><br/>The young aid simply shook his head. He had assumed the letter would have some sort of good news in it, but this was far from what he had expected.<br/><br/>“Sir... Shall I write up a response?”<br/><br/>“No, no.” Pyke said, taking a seat himself now. “I will reply to this one personally. I want you to go make as many preparations as we need. I am going to invite the Australian Governor-General here. I want this to be a huge event. Get the news people riled up, and make a big deal out of this. The picture of him signing the agreement and us shaking hands should be something for the history books. We've pretty much been given exactly what we wanted, and all I did was give one speech.”<br/><br/>Sitting and smiling proudly, Pyke pulled out a fresh piece of paper, and a special pen out form his desk, as Thomas left the room. The Prime Minister quickly got to work on a reply.<br/><br/>“Dear Governor-General Mark Chapman,<br/><br/>Your letter was honestly inspiring to read. I had never thought anything like this would have happened so soon, so you can imagine the look on my face as I read your letter. I hereby would like to invite you to Britain for an official ceremony, where we will both sign an agreement, and acknowledge the official re institution of the commonwealth, and even better, of the British Empire. We can be ready for your arrival within the week, with the signing taking place two days after.<br/><br/>Thank you once again for your awe-inspiring letter. I look forward to the cooperation and unity our two nations shall share from here on out.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Prime Minister Owen Pyke"

He doesn't want to talk business. He wants something else.</i>Ita Thabiti had been Taytu's right hand since the days of the Katanga rebellion. At that he was unparalleled. He could follow up on her meetings, entertain foreign advisers, and dictate her wishes to subordinates in a way that was rare in an assistant.<i>He thinks like me. He knows me. And...</i><br/><br/>She had considered him. He was an adult - not like Yaqob's marriage to his childhood crush, or Sahle's pursuit of whichever girl was the most inappropriate to chase in that moment. Ita Thabiti was old than her by ten years, and more experienced than she was. He had been in the background of Ethiopian foreign relations when she was a teenage girl flirtatiously skiing after boys in the Austrian Alps. He had lost his hair, keeping only a ring of black fuzz around his temples and a close-cropped beard to draw attention from the shining brown skin at the top of his head. His eyes had began to weaken, and he oftentimes wore thick frame glasses to read.<br/><br/><i>He's solid. The type of man I should consider for marriage.</i>Sahle had left no known children, and Yaqob had only one. Her adopted son - the maimed little boy from the Congo - was not considered a legitimate heir to the line of Solomon. He did not have their blood. Their family needed more issue if it was going to continue past the turbulence that seemed inevitable.<i>But he's not... he's not who I would want.</i>The thought shamed her. She was her brother's sister, no matter how much she fought it. Their father had left only children to rule his dream of a unified Africa.<br/><br/>Wordlessly, Thabiti fumbled with the keys and pushed the door to his penthouse open. He stumbled in. Taytu minded her feet as she crossed the threshold. It would not be seemly to look drunk in front of her assistant.<i>It was only two glasses.</i><br/><br/>They turned the corner and her eyes drifted up from her feet. She paused, her head buzzing as she let out a slight gasp.<i>It's beautiful. He did not tell me that.</i><br/><br/>He had, of course. The week after he had bought this place, he had bragged about the view any chance he got. It was on the top of one of the taller towers in the capital, and the farthest wall in the main room was nothing but a long window bubbling out past the ceiling. Night had fell on Addis Ababa, leaving the city awash in scattered twinkling lights that blended with the stars beyond. In the north, in the far right of the scene beyond the window, the mountains of the Ethiopian highlands stood silent and dark - a cloud of black-purple rolling from the north.<br/><br/><i>To the north is Egypt. Past those mountains...</i><br/><br/>""It's lovely."" she slurred.<i>Only two glasses.</i>She found a set in front of a round ironwood table with vines carved along its rim. Thabiti fumbled in the open kitchen, and she immediately recognized the sound of clanking glass.<i>Only two...</i><br/><br/>She looked around. It was not the laconic space she had expected. Potted plants hung from the ceiling, some flowering now that it was spring. A set of chairs dominated a far corner of the room. They were backless, made up of what looked like thick sagging pillows propped up by crossed darkwood legs. The cloth was intricately patterned with earthen colors zig-zagging into geometric patterns that reminded her of a tribal blanket. A frightening long mask with a grainy wooden face bent in an expression of evil rage dominated one wall, while a circular canvas painting of a baboon sitting erect against a few stones and blades of grass centered the other. The room smelled of flowers and cologne and something else...<br/><br/><i>Cannabis? That is a surprise.</i>She hadn't partaken since she left Europe. The thought of Ita laying back and smoking a green cigarette...<br/><br/><i>Maybe he is fun...</i><br/><br/>Her thoughts returned to a cabin in the mountains near Innsbruck. The earthy smell of the weed filled the room and they spent the night listening to some old French ""Youth Music"". She could remember the eldest boy, the one who owned the cabin... Gustav, his name had been. When he told them they called this type of Cannabis ""Jamaican Lettuce"", she had giggled at the thought of some poor island family eating it for supper.<br/><br/>Thabiti came to the table with freshly poured glassed of wine, and she remembered Egypt. She took the glass and held it to her lip.<i>Just two...</i><br/><br/>She took a sip.<br/><br/>""We should try again tomorrow."" she said, sniffing.<br/><br/>""Try what, Princess?"" Ita questioned. The flashing lights from a passing ambulance danced across his baldness.<br/><br/>""Egypt."" she said, taking another sip.<br/><br/>Thabiti's shoulders sunk.<i>That's not what he hoped to talk about.</i><br/><br/>""We've tried the Beylerbey, and we've tried Aswan. Neither seem to want to think about it."" He said.<br/><br/>The Beylerbey in Cairo was the closest the nation had to an official government. His office was the last remnants of Ottoman power in Egypt, but their only true army was the police. Everything else was ruled by militias. Turks and their supporters fought against those who wished to drive out all Turkish influence. Some wished to find their old Sultan and restore him, while at least three others claimed to be the Sultan themselves. There was no organization there. No real government.<br/><br/>Aswan was the next best thing. A small army of Bedouin rebels had taken control of much of the south, gaining support from the numerous Arabs in the south. They had declared themselves the ""Sheikdom of the Nile."" Whether or not that government would even last a week was yet to be determined.<br/><br/><i>Both have called us enemies in the recent past. The Turks just lost a war against us, and the Bedouins will remember how we helped those same Turks conquer and divide their homeland.</i>Taytu had hoped that they would see the newest threat as a reason to unify and align themselves with their African neighbor, but it hadn't worked out that way.<br/><br/>""Is there any other factions we might ask?"" Taytu asked desperately.<i>I know this answer.</i>Any others at all?<br/><br/>""Thousands."" Thabiti said coldly, gently rocking his glass back and forth before he took a sip. ""None that mean anything though. You're asking them to help us against a world power.""<br/><br/>""Help themselves."" Taytu corrected. ""If the Walinzi aren't mistaken and there is a Spanish invasion imminent, North Africa is threatened as a whole."" It made the most sense. The Empire that Ethiopia commanded was immense, dominated by poorly roaded jungles and swamps, deserts and mountains, long rivers ruled by tribes who had learned to hate whites at the cost of their hands, and diseases that would make a man from the glass apartments of Madrid shit himself until he died. To approach from the west would mean the Congo, and the Spanish already had bad memories about the first venture into the heart of darkness. The east was another problem. The east was deserts and mountains. The east had broken the Turks, and it had broken the Germans, and a century before that it had broken Italy. If the Spanish were to succeed in taming Africa where the Germans had failed, they would have to keep their approaches open, and neither Libya nor Egypt had the ability to withstand them on their own.<br/><br/>""We have no evidence, no real evidence, that Spain means to invade."" Thabiti said. He tried to sound comforting, but Taytu could hear his intentions in his voice. ""We have allies in China, and in the middle east. We are in the best position we could wish to be. Sotelo would be a fool to try us.""<br/><br/>The Middle East... what was that? Armenia and Palestine barely had enough men to successfully pop a zit. They had proved themselves capable when fighting on their own turf against an enemy with one foot in the grave, but Spain was something else. Spain was all that Europe had ever been and more.<br/><br/>And China... perhaps if they tried, China could fight Spain, but China was a lone wolf in a pit of lions. Spain and their allies could control every border around the Communist superpower before the Chinese understood the value of allies. Her father had considered the Chinese alliance his crowning achievement, but when the Germans feigned to make Africa theirs, China had stared from across the sea. Sahle had offended them to be sure... but Taytu felt certain that they wouldn't have came regardless.<br/><br/>""Maybe."" Taytu took a sip. ""But if they do come... We don't know what they have.""<br/><br/>Thabiti put his hand on hers.<i>Too familar...</i><br/><br/>""We don't have to worry. You should worry.""<br/><br/>""It is my job to worry, Ita."" she said, withdrawing her hand. ""The last war nearly killed your Emperor. My brother. I don't think his mind could handle a second. He has a gentle heart, but somebody shot at that heart and now it's surrounded by scar tissue. This entire country is balanced like a see-saw. We try to guide it one way and it slides to the other. If we add an invasion to the pot... i'm not sure what would happen.""<br/><br/>She stood up, but the wine made her head flutter. She looked at her glass and noticed that it was nearly empty.<i>Just three.</i>She pressed her hand against the table to steady herself.<br/><br/>""Sotelo couldn't lead the Spanish into such a destructive war... the people would undo him."" Thabiti argued. He looked at her nervously.<i>He wants me to sit back down. He is afraid I will leave before...</i><br/><br/>""Spain is full of..."" she lost her train of thought. When she thought of Spain, she thought of a cold European city full of glass and concrete. Her head swam as she went to form a sentence. ""Concrete... built of...""<i>Dammit, how did I get this drunk?</i>She remembered again.<i>Hate.</i>""Spain is built with hate and... concrete.""<br/><br/>""You need to sit down and stop worrying."" Thabiti said. He reached out for her arm, but she pulled away.<br/><br/><i>How can I not worry? War means killing and I don't want to lose anybody else.</i><br/><br/>She plucked her glass from the table and stared into the clear purple remnants of the liquid.<br/><br/>""If Sotelo causes a war, the Spaniards will rip him a new asshole. It will happen.<br/><br/>Taytu drank the last sip and raised her glass with a nervous smile. ""Rest in Peace Sotelo's ass."" she said drunkenly.<i>I need to go home...</i>"

He had been thinking about the upcoming invasion of the former countries that made up Yugoslavia. It had always been his dream to unite the countries once again, but there existed many other reasons for it.<br/><br/>For one is was the general idea under Bojanism that Imperialism was a good thing, so it was fueled by that. There was also stopping the spread of socialism that had grown in those particular countries. Bojanists were usually opposed to such ideals, and Serbia had become heavily bojanist. Those areas also carried a lot of mineral resources, which would greatly help expand Serbia's Industry.<br/><br/>He continued forward through the hall of the grand building. He however skipped past the door to his office, and marched towards a larger room. He entered a room which had various other people in it, also scattered about the room resided a small desk with a microphone on it, which had a cord that led to nearby broadcasting equipment.<br/><br/>Alexsandar took seat in a chair that was in front of the desk. He relaxed for a minute and just watched the others scurry about the room, preparing for a radio broadcast. One of the many others in the room approached him and began to speak.<br/><br/>""We will be ready a few moments, are you prepared?"" the man who had approached him asked.<br/><br/>""I'm as ready as I will ever be"" replied Alexsandar. He stood up straight and dragged the microphone towards him.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Ghettos of Belgrade</span><br/><br/>The smells of various food cooking wafted through the small house. It was a small house, with only two bedrooms and a single bathroom that was rather small. The house rested in Belgrade's Ghetto, where most of the factory workers had a house. Despite this the family of four kept the house cleaned and it looked a lot a better then the rest of the Ghetto houses. They also managed to make excellent food despite there limited supplies. Two small children came walking into the house's living room, in it rest a single sofa with a few books scattered on a coffee table. A radio could also be seen on coffee table's surface. The children themselves still were in there bedclothes, having just woken up.<br/><br/>""Mother, is breakfast ready?"" asked the boy.<br/><br/>""Almost done dear, pancakes this time around. Father also earned a bit of extra money yesterday so I got some maple syrup, it will go well with the pancakes."" replied the mother.<br/><br/>The boy had a silent cheer as he headed into the kitchen. The table was short and had four brown chairs placed around it. Two white plates rested on the table, along with a glass of milk. The boy was the first to sit down and begin eating, with his sister following shortly afterwords. The boy took poured some syrup into the pancakes and took a bite, savoring the fluffiness of the pancakes and the sweetness of the maple syrup. The boy finished up his breakfast before going back to the living room, and taking a seat on the worn sofa.<br/><br/>The father who had finally decided to get out of bed was already fully dressed for today's shift at the factory. He wore a simple gray shirt with some baggy gray pants. A black hat also rested on his head with simple black shoes.<br/><br/>""Turn on the radio to the news station boy, heard at the factory yesterday there was going to be a broadcast from ole Alexsandar him self."" said the Father, who went to the kitchen to have his breakfast.<br/><br/>The boy flipped the switch on the radio and turned it to the respective station, and turned up the volume so his father could hear from the kitchen. The radio spluttered to life as it started spitting out Alexsandar's voice.<br/><br/>""Today the Good people of Serbia, I'm afraid to announce that we, with this statement, are making a official declaration of war to Bosnia. We have the Serb people feel that is time once again to unite the countries that made up Yugoslavia. They shall not however not come to us peacefully so the only thing we can do to form the union is force of arms. Our military is prepared and so are our proud men. I wish well on all the people of Serbia through this hard war, it will not be a easy one.""<br/><br/>The radio spluttered down as the family looked a bit in horror, not because of the declaration of war but what it meant for the father. The military would likely begin enlisting men to assist in the upcoming war, and the father of this proud family was likely to be one of those.<br/><br/>//This post is considered non-canonical </div>"
21998,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-04-30 21:39:00,gorgenmast,"<b><i>Miguel Saavedra Tejero</i>, Marsaxlokk, Malta</b><br/><br/>Telecall screens glowed with a warm light within the bridge, casting a faint bluish glow upon General Victor Ponferrada's jacket as he stood before the bridge's camera live feed camera. Glassy medals and buttons affixed to his lapels and breast shimmered with a quivering rainbow band as the equipment acquired the video feed from the other parties. As the muted tone of the idle audio hummed through the destroyer - christened after the beloved statesman who had been slain nearly five years prior - the general took a moment to dust off any stubborn motes of lint that might yet cling to his shoulders and sides. With an obsessive diligence he scanned over the remainder of his uniform and swatted away imaginary flecks of debris. Even so, General Ponferrada was not content that his outfit was entirely in order, and so he turned to his output camera and pressed a button on the nearest screen's monitor that switched channels over to what his own camera could see.<br/><br/>He had hoped to use the camera as a mirror to spot any errant strands of fluff upon his immaculately pressed uniform, but upon seeing himself on the screen, he was reminded that this was a futile effort. Cutting edge technology though it was, the telecall system remained in its infancy. The visual resolution was abhorrent; the compression required to make a live feed transmissible through telephone lines reduced his flawless suit into a vaguely torso-shaped mass of bluish gray speckled with fuzzy, multicolored dots. Almost indistinguishable from the fluorescent-illuminated surroundings was a peach-colored mass that passed for the general's face capped with an equally fuzzy general's cap. The tufts of curly black locks poking through from underneath the general's cap were totally lost to the compression, as was his gaunt, pointed visage. It was as if Ponferrada was looking upon himself with the eyes of a nearly-blind man.<br/><br/>Though Ponferrada had little in the way of enthusiasm for this marvel of modern technology, Alfonso Sotelo had fully embraced this breakthrough in telecommunications. It had become his preferred means of conference with his far-flung advisers and as such, the general had little choice but to participate in these video calls. What's more, Madrid - upon notifying General Ponferrada of Sotelo's intention to conduct a telecall this evening - had hinted that the matter was of the utmost urgency.<br/><br/>The two television screens flickered with a rainbow band of colors, then erupted into waves of static. Materializing from the flickering specks came two faces; the man appearing on the screen to his right would have been unrecognizable even if it weren't for the terrible picture quality. The figure to his left was unmistakable. Both the general and the figure on the screen to his right brought their arms to their brows in rigid salute as the image of Alfonso Sotelo manifested before them.<br/><br/>""Your Excellency, it is always a pleasure to speak with you."" Ponferrada acknowledged.<br/><br/>""At ease."" Sotelo ordered, waving his hand across the screen to dismiss their salutes. ""We have little time for such pleasantries, the fate of this African enterprise may yet be in jeopardy. I understand that you, General, may not yet be privy to these details that have come to light of late. I will allow Head Commissioner Desjardin to share with us the findings of the Oficina.""<br/><br/>""Thank you, Excellency."" The raspy voiced head on the other screen chimed in.<br/><br/>Even with the poor resolution, General Ponferrada could make out the bust of a jowel-chinned man with a mouth wreathed by a thin goatee. Even upon hearing his name, the general still did not recognize him. Ponferrada had never before heard of the Oficina de Inteligencia Militar's newest leader, nor would he make any effort to commit the man's name to memory. The previous Head Commissioner - like so many of Sotelo's early advisers and older generals - had been purged from his position. The Prime Minister's incessant paranoia had played a major role in the massive turnover that had taken place throughout the whole of the Second Republic's government. A failed attempt on the Prime Minister's life two years before had only served to rationalize his mistrust of those whose role it was to advise him on various matters. As a result, Spain's prime minister typically refused to accept or follow the suggestions his advisory committees provided. It was becoming apparent that the Prime Minister was more interested in accumulating a cabinet of docile yes-men than qualified assistants.<br/><br/>""Allow me to debrief you as to the situation at hand, General."" The Head Commissioner's screen graveled on. ""Approximately seven hours ago, a task force of Oficina agents in Armenia apprehended an individual of Maltese nationality - one Sergio Espalazanni. In a sting operation our operatives found that he and his affiliates had offered the sale of sensitive information concerning tactical movements of Spanish military assets in the Mediterranean Sea."" A concerned frown drew across the general's face.<br/><br/>""Sensitive information concerning what exactly?""<br/><br/>""What do you think, General?"" Sotelo responded in snotty condescension. ""The fact that the Third Mechanized division is mobilizing is for sale to every espionage organization in the West!""<br/><br/>""We do not yet know the extent of his knowledge."" Head Commissioner Desjardin droned. ""But until we can extract the full scope and veracity of the informant and the information he and his affiliates had been peddling, we must assume the worst. We have known for some time that the Chinese possess a powerful and well-organized intelligence network and our suspicion is such that the Chinese are at least nominally active within the Armenian state. We must assume that the Chinese are aware of the coming incursion into Africa.""<br/><br/>""And that they had forwarded their findings to the Ethiopian government!"" Sotelo groaned, slapping his palm into the surface of the desk. ""A lapse in security of this magnitude is a monstrous failure! Inexcusable! I will know who is responsible for allowing this information to leak! Be it by treason or incompetence, those responsible will be held accountable!""<br/><br/>""And they will, Excellency."" The Oficina head reassured. ""As we speak, Espalazanni and three of his associates are in our custody and are being transported across the border into the Anatolian state, where they will undergo preliminary interrogation. More thorough processing will occur at the Arratzu facility. Needless to say, they will shortly come to regret their actions.""<br/><br/>""I should hope so."" The Prime Minister sighed, seeming somewhat relieved by suffering that awaited the captive informants.<br/><br/>""Unfortunately, we must also discuss the implications of these findings on the Ethiopian...<i>Intervention</i>. Knowing that both the Chinese and Ethiopian governments are aware of the Republic's intentions in Africa, the Ejercito may expect an enemy that is better prepared to repel them - potentially with Chinese support. It would be most prudent to postpone any action in the Mediterranean for a period of perhaps six months to allow the preparedness of the socialists to wane once.""<br/><br/>""Absolutely not! This operation has been postponed for too long as it already is - I will not allow allow them more time!"" Sotelo demanded. ""Every single day that the Chinese shill sits upon the throne of Ethiopia is an affront to the Second Republic! I will abide the Chinese puppet state on our periphery no longer!""<br/><br/>General Ponferrada rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a moment before entering the exchange again. ""I am in agreement with his Excellency. The Ethiopian military has fought a hard-won conflict with the Ottoman Empire and their military is spent. They are at their weakest now and any time we waste will only afford them time to recoup. Even if they are aware of our intentions - a possibility that is just that: merely possible - their preparation will mean little.Their army is at its weakest at this moment and the Chinese are half a world away. It will take their military a considerable time to mobilize, and even then their fleets must sail nearly nine to ten thousand kilometers to reach Eastern Africa. If they attempt to come to Africa's aid they will arrive far too late to be of any assistance.""<br/><br/>""We must strike now.""<br/><br/>""Indeed."" Sotelo agreed, winding down. ""I wish to speak with General Ponferrada with some privacy. Head Commissioner, you are dismissed.""<br/><br/>""As you wish, Excellency."" As he was ordered, Desjardin's visual feed cut out in a blink of static as he left the telecall. The familiar color bar returned to the general's right screen, leaving only Alfonso Sotelo on the line.<br/><br/>""I have issued orders to the Armada"" Sotelo spoke up once he was content that Desjardin could no longer hear them. ""Admiral Santin and the Mediterranean Fleet are bound for the Suez. I trust that your forces are adequately prepared for combat.""<br/><br/>""Naturally.""<br/><br/>""Then you are to mobilize. Join with the Mediterranean Fleet, and make for the Ethiopian coast. Proceed toward Addis Ababa and engage any hostile elements that might attempt to obstruct you.""<br/><br/>""Understood, your Excellency.""<br/><br/>Sotelo's visual feed melted away in a froth of static which gave way to a flickering color bar and the muted tone. The general turned the screens off and made his way to the fore of the bridge. Speckles of light and the illuminated cupolas of the Church of Marsaxlokk shone in from the inky night beyond, leaving a rippling mirror image in the harbor below. In the hills beyond the town, white floodlights illuminated another settlement of sprawling tents and Quonset huts. It was there, six thousand infantrymen of the Third Mechanized settled down for the night, unaware of the rude awakening that would be disturbing them shortly. The general drew a chunky telephone tethered to a bridge console by a coiled wire to his mouth.<br/><br/>""Wake them."""
21999,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-04-30 23:18:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Eastern Russia/Western Siberian Republic</b><br/><br/>The roar of the tank engine churning behind Li Tsung echoed in the iron can as it sped along through the muddy, spring field. The guttural growl rattling through the shell. His seat vibrated underneath him, tuned to the rotation of the engine block. Distant and soft, the clattering of the dozens of shells just behind his seat shook and rattled in their containment. Alongside the seat the dials and gauges rattled back and forth in the tank's whole body shaking. And outside through the mud and dust foamed porthole the Russian countryside sped towards them.<br/><br/>The young driver felt a rising sense of dread as his machine barreled through the countryside. He was held in the tensity of the moment. The realization, the confirmation he was to arrive to the battlefield. He had heard stories of the Revolution, the liberation of Taiwan. They had seemed so distant, even while in training. And even the campaign in Tibet had seemed to make joke of war, a couple handful of short weeks of Chinese boots tromping over Tibetan steppe and raising flags.<br/><br/>He had been afraid of going into the field. There was a noxious fearful association. Where at any moment the seat on which you sit could erupt like a flower in a spray of fire and gunpowder; evidenced by the cache of ammo just at his back. But for the two years of his service, he was kept back far enough that the probability had been slim. Up until the end he hadn't expected to see combat.<br/><br/>And here he was, driving them right to the black billowing clouds. As hazy as they were through the clouded bullet-proof glass the were deeper and darker than anything he had seen. A herald and signal to the times to come.<br/><br/>His face felt pale, weak. Stomach churned. He couldn't tell if it was from the butterflies in his stomach, or the noxious fumes irregularly kicked back into the tank from the motor; somewhere there was a minor exhaust leak. Or perhaps it was both that made him want to vomit.<br/><br/>He held back his tongue. His eyes shutting tight as he breathed deep to stabilize his composure. The rocking of the road wasn't helping. Uneasily he stole a view outside the side-port. Alongside him a driving force of armor flew across the field like an arrow to the sky. The moment was very much real.<br/><br/>Tsung turned from the window. Exhaling deep. He felt cold.<br/><br/>The chair under him rattled and rumbled. An uncomfortable numbing sensation was beginning to wear over his ass. His back felt bumped against the chair as the tank began to roll over rougher terrain. He felt the clay in his stomach stiffen, and he dared to lean over to look out the front porthole. Odd dark shapes lay mis matched in the way. He held his breath, biting on the tip of his tongue, afraid to know what they were.<br/><br/>“They're just trees!” a voice shouted in his ears. A heavy hand propped itself against his shoulder and Tsung jumped, shocked. Stiffly he turned. Hui's face was stuffed up against his ear. He could smell his sour breath as he breathed, he was so close.<br/><br/>“What?” Tsung shouted, over the cacophony in the cabin.<br/><br/>“Trees!” Hui shouted back, “My guess is someone dropped them on the road that was supposed to be here, hoping to stop trucks! Not us!”<br/><br/>The consolation may have been minor, but it didn't make him feel any better as they climbed and dropped over the mismatched stacks of timbers.<br/><br/>“Why so many!?” Tsung called back.<br/><br/>“Fuck if I care to know!” Hui yelled, pushing himself away and back to his part of the tank.<br/><br/>Tsung turned to watch as he carefully crawled over the magazine of rounds and into his chair opposite of Lin. Built tight into the side of the turret where he rested was a large box of dials and knobs. Tsung recognized the deformed gray block as the barrel's ranging computer. The driver didn't claim to be an expert at it, and with its angle and position it was too hard to read the dials and gauges as they were. Hui would be using it blind no doubt, relying on its feel to put the numbers in right for his partner to manage.<br/><br/>Perched over top the gun, almost straddling it like a horse was their Sun. His legs and tail of his officer's coat just visible under the pipes and claustrophobic mess of a turret hull. And given he was hardly sitting in his seat, Tsung figured he was standing outside of the hatch.<br/><br/>The driver's hatch was still firmly shut.<br/><br/>The rocking of bobbing felt as they drove on softened and petered out. The road opened up, and through the hazy view hole the debri that had littered the road had been cleared, and darkened figures stood along the edge as the armor passed. The last sticks crunched under the treads, and smooth driving returned. In the relative sense. Growling down the rough Siberian road they continued, passing the rear-most line of the current front.<br/><br/><b>Northern Russia</b><br/><br/>“I can't say I'm happy it took so long!” the soldier laughed loudly over the mechanical ambiance of several hundred small engines running at once. The combined storm was about one would expect from a handful of Tei Gui. But the size that the combined buggies and six-wheeled personal vehicles had was a much more depressing sight. Most of the vehicles no larger than a small car on the street of Beijing, and far uglier.<br/><br/>“But I can't blame you either.” the soldier snickered as he pulled himself to the caged roof of a buggy. On his back rested a pair of large aluminum tanks, painted in drab white-grey. A white-cloth wrapped hose ran from a valve that bled the two tanks together at the bottom, to the stock of a gun strapped to the side.<br/><br/>The owner was a large man, sturdy in his build. And his face none the prettier. He mean over-bite and flattened face could let any man pass him off as being a pit-bull. He was deeply Mongolian in this respect, and his heavy high-brow complimented his barbarian features like the first Neanderthal visitor to the Asiatic continent.<br/><br/>He was brave to disregard the cold. The scarf that would otherwise shield his face hung around his neck in a dense wrapped clump of cloth. So his twisted smile could be shone to the cold sun. “But this will be for sure a wild ride.”<br/><br/>“It will, Tsien Huang.” chipped Yun-Qi, standing alongside buggy the man had climbed on top of. It wasn't a vehicle of Chinese design, and it showed. It was Russian, which shown even harder. Its spartan frame lacked such luxuries as a solid chassis. Much of it was framed with crisscrossed bars of steel and iron, welded unceremoniously to the conduit and pipe that had been hammered to build the shape. The only thing that could be counted as a luxury was the wind-shield, was no doubt the minimum in terms of bullet-proof quality.<br/><br/>Even the engine wasn't covered, and the heat it produced rolled off the top in shimmering bands of quick-silver or smokey-silver tongues of gray smoke and steam. It was probably the warmest thing on the vehicle, making the driver's seat it sat behind the best seating on the buggy. “I regret us having to camp out her longer than need be, but Hue Wen obviously had other ideas.” Yun-qi added with a reserved tone.<br/><br/>“Permission to speak a private opinion?” Huang grumbled as he found a nested little copula on the top of the buggy. It had obviously been added as an after-thought between the dirty factory floor the Siberians pushed this out of and when they got it. A wooden chair and beaten bi-pod marked where a gun would be. The soldier went about with moving the tank of the flame-thrower into the nest and making himself at home.<br/><br/>“Is it going to get my command revoked?” Yun-qi asked bitterly.<br/><br/>“Only if you tell someone higher up yourself.” Huang smirked. His smile was long and impish.<br/><br/>“Very well.” the colonel said reservedly.<br/><br/>“Fuck the general!” Huang laughed, “We should have just driven ourselves into that Republic years ago and burned it out while it was just a small tumor. Fucked it like the cheap whore it is.<br/><br/>“Not let it fester like an open wound. All this waiting around is shit.”<br/><br/>“Thank you for your concern.” Yun-qi moaned with a deep breath.<br/><br/>“So, sir.” Huang said, sitting himself in his new position. The flamethrower mounted on the roof, “Any special words when we move?”<br/><br/>“No, not until we get to where we need to go.” said Yun-qi.<br/><br/>“Which'd be?”<br/><br/>“It's on a need to know basis. You'll need to know when we get there.”<br/><br/>“Surprises!” Huang cheered happily, “I love them.”<br/><br/>Quan Yun-qi nodded, looking back around him at his assembling unit. The six-wheeled vehicles – something brought in from China – had the room and space to support two men if they hugged up against each other. The solid chassis and armor around the legs was a greater luxury than the empty frames of the Russian buggies, and more given the black semi-padded seating. Many – or all – had been buckled up with sleds, strapped heavily up with the soldier's gear. Most of the heavy equipment will be left behind to be tackled by the air-force. Swept up and carried in after Yun-qi establishes a base, or takes the installation.<br/><br/>Most of the regiment had established themselves. His lieutenant officers – his Zhong Xiao – were standing by. The distinctive long great coats of the Chinese officer corp fluttering in the cold northern wind. Faces guarded by scarves, and thickly gloved hands at their sides, like many of the men.<br/><br/>“We're ready.” Quan said, his voice deep as he stepped into the passenger seat of the buggy.<br/><br/><b>Green Island Launch Facility</b><br/><br/>The ticking of the air conditioning was just as relevant as the ticking of the clock on the wall. The soft bubbling of a large pot of tea in the corner signaled that the pot was still being kept warm as a tired looking engineer drifted alongside the counter. Sleepless nights and the constant need for dodging a hundred questions kept the man on his toes, and he needed a place to rest. His quality of health tugging down on him like a one ton weight. His shoulders sagged, his back drooped, and his entire demeanor hung off of him like the coat he wore.<br/><br/>His hair was a scraggly, messy nest, barely clinging to his scalp as it thinned prematurely. His shallow cheeks were traced with faint scratch marks, as well as his hands.<br/><br/>He hovered over the tea. A cup half held in his hands as he stood over the tables in a tired daze.<br/><br/>Fuck Green Island.<br/><br/>He drifted in and out of a fog. Just reveling in the peace and quiet of the break room. Perhaps he'd skip the tea and throw himself down in a chair by the corner. Surely he had worked hard these passed few months checking and double checking systems and system tests until command was satisfied with safety, or they felt they had a window free of distractions to perform a public display of the programs of the Ministry of Space and Science.<br/><br/>He hoped he could get a window for himself to jump off this rock and keep out of the light on Hainan. Because fuck Green Island.<br/><br/>He knew he wouldn't be able to watch the rocket launch. But it didn't matter. He'd see footage later. He already watched more dummy rockets launch that he cared for. But the solace that he wouldn't be missing anything was a hallow comfort.<br/><br/>Shit, maybe he could just go and join an anti-materialist commune and spend the rest of his days shitting into a muddy hole. So long as the police decided to not take offense and sweep them up out of some farmer's field.<br/><br/>“Fuck Green Island.” he mumbled to himself. His voice strained and rattled. He shut his eyes. He really just needed a break. Maybe he wouldn't fall over if he fell asleep here. Someone'd wake him up when they wanted tea anyways.<br/><br/>Slowly, Shen Tzen drifted off to doze from his standing position. The weight of his long days gently rolling down his eyes.<br/><br/>But the peace could not last forever.<br/><br/>“Shen?” a voice said, it sounded distant and watery. Effeminate. “OH SHEEEEeeeENNN!” it screeched gayly, violently pulling Tzen out of his sleeping state. The force of a thousand flowery winds sweeping him back into reality. The tone bringing him to land with a violent jump back. Flinching and throwing the tea cup where it smashed against the wall.<br/><br/>The sharp shattering of the cup against brick drove a sharper nail into Shen's ears and he recoiled against that. Flinching and throwing his arms up around his head and crouching down. Was it an explosion?<br/><br/>“Day-um sugar, you're tight.” the voice crooned flirtingly. Wide-eyed, Tzen turned about. Standing at the door way was a tall spindly built man. Hair combed clean across his head to come to a youthful duck tail at the back. A rosy smile curled across his face.<br/><br/>“Hue, what the fuck?” Shen swore bitterly as he turned.<br/><br/>“Well hello to you!” Hue said in his distinctive effeminate tone. “I was just looking for you, but I figured I would stop in for some tea and cookies! Didn't think I'd find you at all.”<br/><br/>“Well, you did.” the disgruntled engineer spat as he straightened up. Reaching for his collar and pulling it out straight, “And what do you need me for?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Well I got a call from the engineering floor looking for you. Apparently someone thought I was the last person to have seen you since this morning.”<br/><br/>Tzen rubbed his temples, groaning. “I haven't even been near you until now.”<br/><br/>“Well I did stop by your quarters to say hello to your cat.” Hue laughed, walking over to fill a cup for of tea for himself, “I figure someone saw me then and had the idea.”<br/><br/>“First of all,” Tzen began, he held back bitter anger, “that isn't my cat. It's my boss's cat. The one in Mongolia. The one we're sending up into space.<br/><br/>“It should be be in a cage in storage. Not in my office!” Of course, if this happened he knew he would have more to deal with than sleepless nights. Even if it was a tempting alternative to now.<br/><br/>“Oh sure.” Hue smiled, pouring warm amber tea into his cup, “But I don't think it could work.” he smiled.<br/><br/>“I like cats, you know.” Hue giggled, “I used to have seven.”<br/><br/>“I imagine it was a thrill.” Tzen mumbled under his breath, sarcastic.<br/><br/>“It was.” Smiled Hue, “Now let's get you to engineering so they can show you what ever it is they want to show you.”<br/><br/>“Fine! Fine!” Shen Tzen waved. Hue smiled wide as he walked off with a tea cup held gingerly between his two hands.<br/><br/>“Alright, follow me.” he said. Even if Tzen didn't have to.<br/><br/>The Engineering floor was at a lower point in the entire Green Island facility, largely itself carved into the flesh of the mountain interior of the island. The concrete and steel cavern set into the hills. On one side a rail track ran through a wide tunnel. Tracks to carry the heavy equipment from here to the rocker hanger, then to the ultimate destination: the launch pad. The tracks ended with the dock yard in the opposite direction, the sea itself could be smelled distantly as a warm breeze wafted through the supply corridor.<br/><br/>Arranged throughout the massive chamber were the discombobulated parts for any number of things. Smaller parts of the rocket lay out on metal tables as post graduates and military engineers went through, performing the degree of attention demanded in military protocol; though such demands could go on forever, given the still unknown stresses in orbital launches.<br/><br/>And at the room's zenith, hanging half suspended by chains was the nose cone of the rocket, and the launch pod under it.<br/><br/>“I've seen this a hundred times.” Tzen shouted unhappily to the team around the pod, “What is it?”<br/><br/>“A few small modifications we've decided to make with your comrades in Ullanbator.” shouted a large man.<br/><br/>“And you didn't include me?” Tzen spat.<br/><br/>“You're here to observe the launch and make sure things go well,” the large man said again, the team's leader. Middle aged man. Deeply Cantonese. “And ahead of materials.”<br/><br/>“And you still didn't?” Tzen advanced. He met the beady eyes of the engineer with a frown.<br/><br/>“We didn't use anything new, so we didn't think we needed your presence.” the Cantonese engineer shot back, “But given you're doing the reports you'll need to know about what we did.”<br/><br/>“Alright, alright.” Tzen said impatiently, turning to the launch capsule.<br/><br/>The capsul wasn't anything impressive, if anything a large metal sphere. A nodule on the back contained the parachutes and flotation it'd no doubt need on its return. Pencil thin lines in its shell marking the only changes in its surface, the welds smoothed out in it and the hatch. The whole pod was hardly big enough to seat a small child in.<br/><br/>Except, it had been changed.<br/><br/>Guided by a couple engineers, they turned the pod as it hung by its crane netting. Over the course of the past month waiting a small, four centimeter diameter window had been added. “We included a mounted camera and a window into the final design,” the large, chubby man said. His voice restrained as he addressed Tzen, “If the coming launch is to make a physical comparison between pre and post launch stresses on a living creature we thought it best to install a small camera to later observe how a body moves in a beyond-Earth environment.<br/><br/>“The window we feel is for integrity purposes.”<br/><br/>“Integrity? You know I'm supposed to bring this cat back and if there's any suggestion it'll kill it then I've lost my head.” Tzen scoffed.<br/><br/>“And as I said earlier, we've been speaking with members of your original team in Mongolia over this. We got plexi glass in there that's at least half the times thicker than the neighboring steel. If there's anything most likely to break, it's the hull itself.<br/><br/>“So, you're thoughts?”<br/><br/>Tzen looked up at a long time. He had no opinion either way, and still wanted to find somewhere to nap. “Fine, fine. Whatever.” he mumbled.<br/><br/>Fuck Green Island."
22000,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-05-03 02:06:00,TheEvanCat,"<b>Shusha, Armenia</b><br/><br/>A few kilometers south of the regional capital of Stepanakert was the town of Shusha. Nestled in the Karabakh mountains, the town was home to only 8,000 people. Many had fled westward to Stepanakert during the 1978 war, to what had become a hub for transportation and communications and trade. What was left of Shusha was a farming town, and the Abbasian family owned a small farmhouse on the outskirts. It lay upon an ancient road, winding through the mountains. The squat, green building was built at the top of a hill overlooking a valley below - today it was shrouded in the April fog and a light rain had fallen recently. The region was certainly lush, unlike the deserts of West Armenia that Haroud Abbasian had just returned from. He had taken a train from Yerevan to Stepanakert that zipped around Lake Sevan to the mountainous Lachin Corridor - the only route through the mountains that formed the natural provincial border between the Artsakh and Erivan regions. Their father had been there to meet them at the Stepanakert train station, welcoming his son with a bear hug and a pat on the back. After their greetings, the family piled into their beat-up, rear-engined jalopy of a sedan and began the hour's drive to their hometown.<br/><br/>Haroud was still exuberant over the parade. He had ridden in the tank with Zokarski and company, waving a saber around and tossing sweets to children. After the parade was over, he drank with his friends one last time before his mother urged him to get to the train station. By nightfall, he was sound asleep in the rattling car and headed back home. Administratively, the Army was separating him - his company had been deactivated earlier in the week and he was technically now a reservist. Practically, it meant he could go home. He would end up mailing his documents to Yerevan at a later date. For now, his career in lumber awaited. Shusha was home to many forests, all of which were on the verge of being eagerly exploited by companies slowly let loose from national control. Lumber was important for rebuilding, and Haroud had been a truck driver for the Shusha Lumber Company before his deployment. With the new spots in actual, physical lumberjack jobs, Haroud was planning to get a start in sometime in the next week. He figured that lumber would provide an exciting career - danger, exercise, and travel. Many of his friends had mixed feelings about leaving the service: Haroud felt the same, mostly because he didn't want a job in an office somewhere. Combat - or, more specifically, adrenaline - was a high that many couldn't live without.<br/><br/>The sedan pulled into the rocky driveway on the hill and the family piled out. Haroud's little sister went toddling to the house as he watched, duffel bag slung over his shoulder. His father, dressed in his western garb of a sweater over a dress shirt and tie, came up behind him. He smiled warmly at his son and then looked back at the house. It was two stories tall and had a wooden porch facing the valley. A metal awning came over the driveway as a sort of open garage, with bicycles on racks in front of it. Everything was as picturesque as can be, right down to the meticulously tended garden the Haroud's mother had almost certainly slaved away at to impress him when he arrived. He had the mind to tell her that anything was better than a sandy trench or a rattling armored vehicle, but the flowers did indeed look amazing. So he kept his mouth shut as he entered the house. The door opened up and a shape moved from within: Haroud's dog had leaped out from the entrance and sprung straight towards her boy. The Alabai Shepherd rammed her head straight into Haroud's stomach, effecting a stumble backwards. Then she moved to leap up onto her hind feet and flail her paws onto the son's chest. She whined her high-pitched crying whine, overjoyed to finally see Haroud home again.<br/><br/>""Yes, hi! Hello, puppy girl!"" Haroud cooed. ""How has little Arev been? How have you been?""<br/><br/>The dog panted and whined, trying to lick Haroud's neck and face. She was a big dog, for sure. She went up to his chest on her hind legs.<br/><br/>""She's grown,"" Haroud's father said. ""She was a puppy when you left, remember!""<br/><br/>""And she's much better than our goats that we used to have for company,"" Haroud grinned. ""I wish we had a dog just like little Arev.""<br/><br/>""She's so excited!"" called out Haroud's sister. ""She almost knocked you over!""<br/><br/>""She did better than the Turks could,"" joked Haroud's father. ""Not a scratch on you until you come home and Arev cuts your forearm.""<br/><br/>Haroud smiled at his father, then looked down at his wrist to see a tiny scratch that didn't even bleed. ""Oh, boy, you're lethal!"" teased Haroud to the dog. ""You're worth the whole Turkish Army put together!""<br/><br/>Arev dropped back down to all fours and rubbed her head on Haroud's uniform pants. Almost immediately, her black-and-white fur began to stick to the fabric and Haroud remembered that no outfit is complete without a healthy coat of dog hair - something that he had thankfully lacked during his stay in Erzurum. NCOs were never fans of deviation from the uniform standard, much less anything that could possibly degrade their appearance and turn him into a ""useless piece of dishonorable shit."" So he reached down to scratch Arev's ears while commanding her to sit. Calmed down and more at ease now that the initial excitement had subsided from her short attention span, the dog obeyed. With the pet sufficiently satisfied with Haroud's return, the son made his way up the hill and into his family's house while the dog padded along in tow. The green building towered above the road below, white roof gently sloped towards the southern mountains. A porch made its way around the exterior underneath an awning. It was truly picturesque. Windows with varied curtains looked down upon the hill, and a small yellow flag hung besides the front door. It bore a single black star denoting Haroud's deployment - an increasingly-popular item to display in front of patriotic houses. As the family entered, Haroud's mother tore it off the wall and bundled it underneath her arm. Her son was home again.<br/><br/>The living room was filled with the smell of freshly-brewed coffee, the cups clustered on top of an ancient silver platter from the early 19th century. This was located on top of a handcarved wooden coffee table that had been bought in Stepanakert many years ago. This was atop a dulled Armenian carpet that was something of a family heirloom. A sofa sat to the immediate right of the door at the far left of the room, directly opposite a smoldering fireplace. Photographs hung from the wall behind the sofa, depicting the family and their ancestors in a chronological order. Framed on the coffee table was a framed, sepia-tinted photograph featuring Haroud in his battledress, helmet draped lazily over the side of his head, holding his arm around a shirtless David Goverian's shoulder. Sitting on the floor was Zokarski, also shirtless and helmeted and grinning for the camera while holding a light machine gun in his lap. Haroud had noticed the picture almost immediately and remembered that he had sent it to his mother almost six months ago. A small handwritten note accompanied the pose of three friends, reading: ""Dear mother: I found the best comrades in arms that a man could ask for. It's not so bad on the front, anyways. November, 1979."" Picking it up, he smiled warmly and remembered the friends that he had left behind when he left. Was Goverian still in a hospital somewhere? He had been blinded by shell fragments, so possibly. Haroud decided that he would need to find him when he had the chance.<br/><br/>Haroud's mother had returned from the kitchen with a platter of small cakes to place on the table with the coffee. She looked up at Haroud, noticing his stiff posture and smiling. ""Oh, come now!"" she insisted. ""You're no longer in the Army. Relax a little!""<br/><br/>""Oh, right,"" Haroud noted somewhat embarrassingly. ""Sorry, I'm used to being told what to do all the time.""<br/><br/>""Then sit down on the sofa, sweetie,"" said his mother. She sat down on the far side of the sofa and gave a pat for her son to sit next to her. Then, in her sweetly accented voice, she said: ""I have so much to tell you about. Nine months is a long time.""<br/><br/><b>Sevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>Yaglian lived in an apartment building at the end of a circular plaza atop a hill at Joint Base Sevan Lake. His top-floor room had everything he could have needed: a bed, a radio, a kitchenette,<i>some</i>space, and a roommate who worked the night shift. The walls of Yaglian's room was decorated with some movie posters and a large, bullet-riddled Chechen flag draped across the wall next to his door. He had acquired the peculiar item from the contraband of a captured militant and decided to take it with him to display. If others did it, why couldn't he? Underneath the Chechen flag was the militant's Tsarist-era rifle - a Kalash. Those certainly were uncommon around Chechens, so Yaglian decided to ""liberate"" that as well. The rifle was supported by a shelf that he had built for it: the trophy rack that exuded victory despite the fact that his front had largely been shafted into obscurity. There was no romance in guarding the border and occasionally arresting meth traffickers. And now he was in an even more mundane position as he stood guard around an Army and Air Force runway in the middle of the tri-base area of Yerevan, Sevan, and Gyumri.<br/><br/>The Saturday began early for Yaglian as he fried some dough on his gas stove in his fatigue pants and undershirt while listening to some of the local radio. The soft, melodious tone of Armenian folk instrumentals filled the air and went out the windows, open to the warm spring air. The smell of frying dough, indeed, complemented the relaxed atmosphere. Yaglian's roommate, who had stumbled in an hour ago smelling of dirt and marsh with an explanation that he had inexplicably fallen out of the bed of a pickup truck while on his way back home, was sleeping in his boxers on the couch and drooling over the nice upholstery. The roommate was a Greek who spoke little Armenian, often gesturing his way through conversations while Yaglian attempted to pantomime what he was trying to convey. There seemed to be a lot of such personnel in the military, grouped oftentimes into their own units for cohesion. Now that the war was over, Yaglian was fairly sure that many of the Greeks and Russians were going to be discharged unless they could integrate with the regular army. He had heard rumors, though, of an organization in the planning stages: a regiment composed solely of foreigners. But that was just the rumor mill, and nobody could actually care. Discharge or segregation: Yaglian cared little. Maybe his new roommate wouldn't drool over the couch while his BDUs sat, smelling like rotten marsh in the laundry hamper. However, Yaglian's musings were interrupted by the dinging of his little mechanical egg-timer, and the dough was ready to be eaten.<br/><br/>Breakfast went by quickly as Yaglian ate fast as to not disturb the sleeping Greek in his living room. Dusting off the powdered sugar from his telnyashka's striped fabric, he decided to check the mail: he had sent a letter out to a few clubs the previous Wednesday to ask if they could schedule him in for a Saturday night performance. He didn't know what to expect, though: would his contributions to the musical fusions be applauded? Already he had picked up some ideas from the stuff his roommate listened to. He had heard the sounds of Ethiopia, of Syria, of Georgia. Sevan was an immigrant town, producing a culture distinctly its own. This is why he had requested a transfer here, even if the job was terrible and his career had pretty much ended. He had been feeling conflicted about his musical career, however. It'd be silly of him to think that he'd turn out to be a star. He'd just as likely be a starving artist. But the chance was still there, and Yaglian was trying his best to seize the day. After all, if he failed he'd still be living comfortably with a Corporal's paycheck for the next few years and if he succeeded he'd be snorting cocaine off of prostitutes in the luxury hotels downtown. He often joked that there was no way he could lose. And his dream was revealed to be closer than he thought when he saw a letter in his apartment's mailbox from a club on the outskirts of the city: it was the Dead Soldier's Den.<br/><br/>They had agreed to take him for the night, seeing as they needed an act to perform after one of their performers had been rendered unavailable. There had been a murder nearby the other day, and Yaglian wondered if that might have been it. But there was no reason to dwell on it: the Corporal had his foot in the door. And with the letter in hand, Yaglian climbed the stairs back to his apartment and slept on the couch for a few hours. He was on at eleven, Saturday night. He had plenty of time."

It was clear enough that Damian was unsettled and took effort to avoid Birgit’s eyes. Damian continued normally, despite desperately hoping the glare was all he would receive from Birgit, “Look Birgit, we just can’t do it, Cen still has influence and the move is too soon, and besides that it’s just not economically viable we might well lose money on the endeavour.”<br/><br/>Birgit sighed and his cold gaze was blocked by a hand that clasped his face, and when the fingers peeled off and Birgit’s eyes came again into view they had forgotten the cold gaze in favour of a look more disturbing coming from Birgit, disappointment. “Damian we did<i>all</i>of this because you said that it as the only way to stop war. If we don’t re-open trade with the North Finns then we will<i>never</i>be able to rebuild the public trust.” Birgit spun the chair to the side and stepped out with a creak, put a hand to his chin and looked back at Damian, “When did you care about Cen anyway? Certainly not when we betrayed everything we believed in for a change to do what the nation needed; tell me is that you have your fancy chair now? Was that all you wanted Damian? You were willing to break every law, every trust to get here and that was all you wanted!” Birgits tone became more harsh and violent and he took the hand from his chin and slammed it into the desk with a thud and levelled his eyes to Damien’s, “I will<i>not</i>pull back the proposal, and if you try to stop it Damian know that even as my friend I am willing to take us both down if we can’t do what we did this all for!”<br/><br/>The sudden change to anger and rage took Damian off guard and he jerked back, nearly falling from his chair when Birgit slammed the desk, it took a moment but Damian quickly recollected himself and rose out of his own chair. Of course Birgit’s eyes followed him all the way up and Damian protested, “Birgit please, you have no right to accuse me of that, I am the same man that I was then, I want the same thing as you, and I care about Cen now because he is<i>right</i>Birgit, North Finland has nothing to offer us for now. We did this for peace and we will have it Birgit, we just have to wait!” Damian sighed and lowered his voice, “If you want to ham fist the proposal though go ahead, but the consequences will be on<i>you</i>Birgit, when our economy stops this growth the people love you for don’t expect to be able to fake another election.” Damian opened the large oak door and wordlessly walked out of the room, leaving Birgit angry with his hand red on the table.<br/><br/>Birgit returned to his chair and sat there for long enough that the light shining though his blinds failed, though he was too deep in his own mind to notice. He eventually stood up and noticed the worlds outside, he uttered, “Damn… Well Damian I guess we will see if you are willing to betray me.”<br/><br/><b>Stockholm, Board of Defense</b><br/>Dolf straightened his tie and stood up from the cushioned seat in the white sparsely decorated office (excluding the dominating portrait of Sweden’s first president) as he heard the door creak open. In walked the secretary of Defense Carin Svenson who was shortly followed by General Dirk Egon. The secretary extended his hand and Dolf followed suite. The secretary finished the handshake and walked to the seat behind his desk; he sat and signalled for Dolf and the General to do so as well.<br/><br/>The General sat at the seat immediately to the left of Dolf who took off his air force cap and waited for the secretary to begin. Perhaps a bit casually the secretary asked, “Was the drive down long Colonel? I hear that base can be a bit of a drive from the General here.”<br/><br/>Dolf politely responded, “It is sir, but I came as soon as I got the message to report here, I apologize in advance if I seem tired.”<br/><br/>The secretary responded, “No trouble at all.” He then pulled some glasses from the frontal pocket on his brown suit and put them around his narrow head, the glasses resting just above his ears near the balding on the top of his head. He continued after pulling out a document and looking at it for a moment, “The General here says the plane preforms well already? Excellent. You can imagine we are all a bit relived here that we are finally getting our air force up to modern standards. However, that relief has come with a bit of excitement and many in the Riksdag are advising me to push the deadline forward.”<br/><br/>Dolf, who had been occasionally allowing his eyes to wander during the exchange snapped to attention and protested, “Sir we need the time we have! The final review is in a month and while the plane has passed all preliminary tests we still need to verify the consistency of the results.”<br/><br/>The secretary sighed and looked to the General who responded to Dolf, “Look Colonel we know that the plane is not completely finished but with the recent exercises of the new Malmo class ships gathering attention we don’t have much choice but to push the review forward. The men in the Riksdag have a shorter attention span than my dog, we need them to give us the money for mass production on a successful review now, not in five years.”<br/><br/>Dofl was noticeably unnerved by this and leaned back in his chair before quickly correcting his posture and asked, “Is that it then? How much time do we have now?”<br/><br/>The secretary responded hesitantly, “Two weeks, I fought for a bit longer but that is all we have.”<br/><br/>Dolf stood up and spoke clearly, “Then that is what we have, I will get Alexander to fast track his adjustments. Secretary, General, may I be dismissed?”<br/><br/>The secretary responded, “Of course.” And with that Dolf walked out of the room, without the comfort he had carried moments earlier in being ahead of schedule."

Fanning out into a soft burst of light as the glass was held against the setting evening sun. Ulaanbaatar. The city was hardly old. Not by the standards set in Beijing, Nanking, or elsewhere. As it was, much of the city was built almost as modern revolutionaries would see it, influenced by what architectural ideas could be salvaged for the benefit of the Chinese state. Rising alongside the hidden old temples of the city's past, and almost in an attempt to tower above the mountains that wrung around the city in the distance were the steel and brick and glass skyscrapers of the Mongolian region's administration. Through its heart, the Tuul river cut a silvery path through the city, winding around un-developed grassy and rocky hills as it crawled out of the Mongolian steppe.<br/><br/>“Have you by chance heard what Mang Xhu's been campaigning under?” a stiffened man said, he was old. Somewhere over the hump of a man's life. His skin was kissed by the sun and was a darker olive than most. His eyes pressed thinner. But for the lines around his eyes he wore a happy smile, even given the circumstances.<br/><br/>“I haven't.” said his friend. Zhang Auyi. He sat reclined in a wicker chair atop the apartment building his friend called home. A top floor penthouse, though not nearly as large a flat as many Europeans would consider luxury. All the same he did enjoy many features that some kinsmen that still roamed as their ancestors had for thousands of years would consider wealthy.<br/><br/>Nekhii Bathukhan was a fortunate man.<br/><br/>“It is no wonder he seems to seek to campaign directly to us fellow politicians.” the Mongolian said, sitting down, “I was invited to a private dinner at his home in Beijing, if you're wondering why I know. Some fifteen other comrades of mine in parliament where there in attendance.”<br/><br/>“I had an invitation to one of those.” Auyi laughed, lowering his glass of beer to the table as he leaned back. He was still dressed in a thick black coat. A cold wind blew down from the north across the barren Mongolian steppe. A restless sort of continuous wind. It bit into him.<br/><br/>“And how'd you respond?” Bathukhan laughed, “I would think that two men competing for the same office would have interesting excuses.”<br/><br/>“I told him I was busy.” Auyi laughed, a large grin easing itself across his face, “I actually called him back thanking him for the invitation, but that I would be spending the date in Hong Kong at a conference between college staff.”<br/><br/>“And did you?” the Mongolian representative asked.<br/><br/>“I did, but not on that day. I did make sure to leave around the date of his party to not arose suspicion.” Auyi said with a snide laugh, “He – like I – has his birds no doubt. So if I didn't at least look the part he'd be suspicious.”<br/><br/>“Not to mention it hasn't ever been in good taste to be seen attending the parties of the man you're competing against.” Bathukhan agreed.<br/><br/>“Oh no, this was shortly before I applied to run for Grand Secretary!” laughed Auyi, “It's that when I heard later he was campaigning that inspired me to apply.”<br/><br/>“I see.” Bathukhan said casually, looking out over the glistening towers of a city at twilight.<br/><br/>“So what did Comrade Xhu have to say?” asked Auyi.<br/><br/>“The usual.” grunted Bathukhan, “I was almost offended enough to leave mid-way through. He's counting on the Unity Bloc in the National Congress to act as his supporting platform. He's hoping on the feeble resistance to the Autonomy Proposition.”<br/><br/>“How is that, by the way?” asked Auyi, “It's been silent in the papers for a while, and I haven't read any executive memos.”<br/><br/>“It's up for one more vote this coming week.” chirped Bathukhan, “Comrade Hou's stroke those couple months back threw us all off enough that the revision vote was delayed and the debates. I think the Unity Bloc managed to delay it as long as they did by pushing other topics into the way.”<br/><br/>The Mongolian looked up at his friend who looked to be already bored with the idea of discussing parliamentary procedure, “As it turns out, it had already used up enough time on argument on the floor to be moved to later.” he said in finished.<br/><br/>“I see.” Auyi nodded, raising the glass of beer to his lips and taking a sip.<br/><br/>“It's thrilling, and I would strangle most people some days if I wasn't an old man.” laughed Bathukhan.<br/><br/>“So did he appeal to anything else?” Auyi asked.<br/><br/>“Mostly got the bullshit to swim concerning total unity.” remarked Bathukhan, “I feel like he's a step and a half away to proposing that China annex the whole of the Third International as a singular, Beijing-centered government.<br/><br/>“Both you and I know how well that would go.”<br/><br/>“Is Mongolia still having reactionarian issues?” Auyi asked, curious.<br/><br/>“I think they all gave up in late 1969. Since then it's been quiet. Every once and a while we'll get someone setting fires to something downtown. But the large-scale post-annexation violence is gone.<br/><br/>“I've talked with a few men in the local IB about it and they say all intelligence suggests they've disbanded. There's a few self described 'old clans' out in the west. But you get out there and everyone's too busy moving their goats to actively fight Beijing.<br/><br/>“Here and in the East I'm sure Deep Gobi keeps the dissent subdued. Half this region's in helicopter range from there alone. Not much horses can do to evade that. And I say that as an avid, retired runner myself!” he added with an enthusiastic shout. His voice was rather booming when it needed to be.<br/><br/>Auyi couldn't help but laugh as he leaned over in his seat. Sipping again from the amber cup. “Xhu probably thinks that the region being the development center for the Ministry of Science is enough for up here then.”<br/><br/>“Most likely.” nodded Bathukhan, “I wouldn't say it's a total benefit. But it's certainly boosted the prominence of the local university.”"

Assets had been moved up and down the border with a few already deploying into Bosnia. They Bosnians showed no signs of trying to attack Serbia it self, unless they were waiting for the Serbians to attack so they could launch a counter-attack. He also ordered the conscription of more soldiers for the war effort, however there weapons stock was limited, and they needed something cheap. He had his military professionals looking onto what was currently in the market to see if they could get anything, but for now conscription would be in limited numbers without those extra weapons.<br/><br/>Alexsandar heard a knock echo across his office from the large, ornate, double wooden doors that made the entrance to his office. He stepped up and glided across the room. To Alexsandar's surprise he was greeted by Damier Bogdan, he gladly let him into the office and they both took seat<br/>""How goes the war? Well I hope"" said Damier<br/><br/>""Oh I prefer not to discuss it, but if you most know"" replied Alexsandar, stepping out of his seat and looking over Belgrade ""Not much has happened yet, we are still deploying assets across the border, and are making sure they can't sneak around and attack us when we launch our own attack.""<br/><br/>""I was wondering what we are going to about Croatia though, The Germans are defending it, and they have moved forces there, it picks a big thorn in our plans."" said Damier<br/><br/>""I do not believe Germany intends to intervene, Croatia is scared that we would declare war, which we would have if it wasn't for Germany. I think Germany wants for access to the Medeterrian Sea, a valuable position."" commented Alexsandar<br/><br/>""Are you sure?"" asked Damier<br/><br/>""I'm assure as I have been on every other choice I have made for Serbia."" replied Alexsandar ""On another note how goes your search for allies? Well I hope.""<br/><br/>""I was already having trouble looking for allies before Germany stationed forces in Croatia, however many will likely see this as them intending to intervene our unification of Yugoslavia."" replied Damier.<br/><br/>""Good day then Damier, back to your normal duties."" said Alexsandar.<br/><br/>Damier left Alexsandar's office without speaking another word. <br/><span class=""bb-b"">Also Belgrade, Serbia</span><br/>Javor Kuzman walked out of his house. The announcement of the declaration of war against was Bosnia shook him. He wasn't like other Serbs who wanted to see Yugoslavia once agaour attempts to unite Yugoslavia. While he shouldn't affected by this annoucment he knew it meant it be likely he be conscripted for the war effort. In the past when Serbia though they were going to war or were at war they began conscription.<br/><br/>He was also a decent build for soldier. He was around 6ft tall and was a burly, which suited him to the physical labor in the factory he worked at. He was tanned and had black hair, with green eyes.<br/><br/>After a long walk in the morning Serbian air and through the run-down slums of Belgrade he saw the Factory. It wasn't so much as a factory as it was a place where a bunch of people got together and assembled things. The factory did have some machinery, but it was mainly conveyor belts. The factories that actually had machinery made the parts, they were then shipped off throughout Serbia were groups of workers would put them together. The ""Factory"" it self was just a red brick building, and scattered high up on its walls there was a few dusty large windows that allowed light in to the main areas of the factory.<br/><br/>He arrived at the factories loading and unloading docks, rumbling trucks shipped out assembled goods or brought in the base components needed to assemble various objects came in, whether they be weapons or radios.<br/><br/>He stepped in and begin his normal duties, carrying crates in out of the docks and guiding trucks to the docks. One of his fellow workers dropped a crate, it landed on the ground with a heavy thud. Javor went over and assisted his fellow worker, after the worker was up Javor went to pick up the crate, however was in it surprised him, and reminded him of the possibility of conscription.<br/><br/>Inside were weapon parts, varying for all types of firearms. Javor though to himself, these couldn't have been made today. The war was only announced yesterday, they couldn't have produced that many weapons parts in the actual factories already. Unless they had been preparing for this war for a while now, and knowing the Serbian Government they most likely had.<br/><br/>The shipments also must have been timed to only have arrived to the assembly lines today as well. They must have wanted the war to be a surprise, as conscripting men prior to the war or sending the weapons parts out before the war declaration was announced would have revealed that the Serbian Government was preparing for war. When the Serbian Government was out of war they usually purchased there weapons from other countries, but weapons parts at the factories meant they were preparing to arm a lot of men.<br/><br/>That meant that conscription was likely to begin, and the Serbian Government did it by going to the assembly lines and announcing to the workers that they were conscripting a number of them, and that would read out loud who was to come in the military trucks for a quick basic training course on how to shoot straight then out to the front lines.<br/><br/>""All workers, please report to the front of the building."" boomed a loud voice over the speakers of the ""factory"".<br/><br/>Javor with the rest of the loading and unloading dock crew headed to the front. A number of men had already assembled there, with a few military officers already at the front, with military trucks ready to load those up who would be leaving today.<br/><br/>""More men are needed for the army, all of the following are to load up into the trucks and come with us."" shouted one of the officers. He began calling out names, each second was like agony, waiting to see whether he would leave or not, or he would stay here and continue with his job.<br/><br/>He finally go to the Ks, each time someone stepped forward Javor got closer and closer to breaking down. He though for one single moment he might be off free, but he finally heard his name.<br/><br/>He stepped forward, sadness already on his face. Many conscripts die on the battlefield, and he would likely be one of them. The officers finished the call and all of them, along with Javor Kuzman were being sent off in a rattling truck towards the nearest military base, where from there they be sent to die on the front lines.<br/><br/>//This post is considered non-canonical<br/><br/></div>"
22005,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-05-08 04:56:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>South of Kalachinsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>The road turned rocky and broken as the tank groaned on. Fallen trees lay tumbled like match-sticks. Abandoned vehicles lay off the side of the road, turn over or simply left behind by their owners. And all between Siberian soldiers picked through the litter and watched idly by the side of the road, their rifles held all too casually at their chests. A clear view lay out in panorama from the turret of the tank. Behind, a handful of armor thundered behind. And all around were the clear skies of a Russian mid-day, save for the smoke that rose to Sun Song's right.<br/><br/>The juunshi looked out at the smoke rising beyond the trees and farmer's fields lining the road with a sort of knowing. An experience in the ways of war. As a veteran of the war in the Philippines. By then, he had hardly won the hardened leather cap on his head, with the bulbous earphones on the side.<br/><br/>He knew that some of his comrades would need to deal with it. The bulk of the column had fanned out over the countryside as they crossed over into the Republic. There was without a doubt there were armored teams that would be heading into what burned. And going down this road, he figured that on some level he'd be requested to lead his crews to it. He was already drawing fairly close towards Omsk. But he kept the expectations bottled, they'd happen as they happen. He'd be ready.<br/><br/>The still silence that had loomed over the radio heralded the eerie forced calm that the Chinese had experienced so far. Muffled static whispered softly through Song's earphones. Occasionally, commanders throughout the column would whisper in their positions, or give minor updates on their status. Communications were still, sterile. They had to keep the line clean.<br/><br/>This would change soon. Song could tell as he looked ahead.<br/><br/>Along the side of the road a red flag flew tattered and weak. Through the murky reinforced glass windows that circled the turret hull, small dilapidated tents grew visible between road-side brush and trees. Arranged haphazardly along the shoulder of the road and into the farmer's field beyond. Figures patrolled the outside weakly, while others lay behind them.<br/><br/>Through the glass Song watched as a figure stepped out into the road. The blurred soldier rose a murky flag in his hands as he hailed the tank down, waving it over his head.<br/><br/>“Stop at that man!” Song shouted over the grinding and whistling of the motor below.<br/><br/>“Yes, comrade!” his driver shouted, the new guy. He was anxious. The apprehension shown on his words. Song could say he felt sorry for the young Tsung, but then every warrior needed his moment of proving. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.<br/><br/>To his left the tank's communication equipment sat bolted to the side of the turret. A bulky brick of electronics and diodes. Blackened knobs allowed for adjusting channel and volume, or what minor matters of noise reduction he could achieve. Like the model of tank he was in, this was new. “Q-41I, Sun Song,” he said in a raised voice as he cupped his microphone to his mouth, looking behind him at the four others following him, “We're pulling in for a stop up ahead. By advised.”<br/><br/>“Copy, comrade.” came the response to his ears. The headphones in his cap kept some of the background noise of his own command from getting in the way, though the same could not be said for what often fed through with the voices of his subordinates.<br/><br/>Slowly, the tank gave up speed and inched to the figure in the road. The noise and clattering that echoed inside died to softer tones as it came to an inching crawl, then stopped.<br/><br/>As the tank came to a full stop Sung reached up for the hatch above his head. The latch turned stiffly in his hand and threw open just as heavily. Fresh sunlight streamed in with golden brilliance as Sun stood up outside. His lungs singing a song of relief as they took in the heavy fresh air of the outside. A cool breeze washed from the north. It was a drink of water he drank on after riding in the warm stuffed Tei Gui.<br/><br/>“Hail, comrade!” the man shouted, lowering his hand. He was an officer, young for his position too. But the far away stare in his eyes was beginning to develop. And his Chinese minced with a heavy Russian tongue. Song had to give him the credit where it was due for trying, but took a moment to wonder why all Russians sounded drunk.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” Song shouted back. He took a moment as he breathed in the fresh air and to look around. Looking out to the shoddy encampment off to the side of the road.<br/><br/>“You heading to Omsk then, comrade?” the Russian soldier shouted back. His rifle hung limp under his arm, muddy strap hanging across his equally muddied and bloodied coat as it wrapped around the opposite shoulder.<br/><br/>There was a way he carried himself. Uncertain. His shoulders hunched and back slouched. He wasn't an eager man. He was tired. And so to did his brothers.<br/><br/>“In the direction.” Song replied. Nodding to the camp he asked: “What's this then? Why'd you hail us down?”<br/><br/>“We've some comrades trapped in the town of Kalachinsk, brother.” the soldier shouted back, nervous. From the front the driver's hatch was thrown open and Li Tsung crawled out. He gave a confirmatory look to his commander before looking at the Russian and to his camp. There was a pale relief on his face, but the expression died as he took in what was next door. The Siberian didn't make him feel any better in his tattered battle-soaked clothes. Neither did his report on the matter.<br/><br/>“The Republican army has encircled their position in the middle of town.” he continued woefully, ”We've tried to relieve them, break the siege for as long as they need to breath. But for the past couple of days they've been keeping us out.”<br/><br/>Song nodded, “What do they have?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Heavy machine guns, it's made for an attempt on foot suicide. They're lined up in the trees on the southern advance here.” the soldier said solemnly, “There's not a lot of cover in the farm fields, they cut us down as we go. Or snipers pick us off if we go around. I haven't seen what it's like in town since our two units were separated.”<br/><br/>“You allowed yourself to get separated!?” Song shouted, horrified.<br/><br/>“I- I-” the soldier stammered, “It was not like we could try. Fresh soldiers from Omsk got there before the rest of us did, and we lost our communication's officer!”<br/><br/>“I would have radioed in if we hadn't lost him.” he continued desperate. “And I can't spare any men as it is, too many of us have been injured by the assaults. So it's not like I can spare any runners, comrade!”<br/><br/>“Then why not pull out further to get closer with the rear-guard!?” Song shouted, angered.<br/><br/>“I'm afraid of what'll happen if we go back empty handed!” the Russian officer fearfully admitted in a raised voice, “At least staying here I supposed we'd meet up with someone who could do something about it.<br/><br/>“This is you, isn't it?” he pleaded weakly.<br/><br/>Song grumbled. Dropping his forehead into his fingers he stiffly messaged his temples, “What else is the situation then?” he spat.<br/><br/>“I believe they got mortars somewhere. Maybe out west.” he said nervously, fidgeting in the road, “And maybe they got something else. Last I saw of our brothers, they got held up in the town hall. Maybe they're still there if the Republic hasn't managed to break through.”<br/><br/>“I'll see what I can do.” he shouted, dropping down into the turret. He grumbled disdainfully to himself as he reached for the receiver. Turning it on and cupping it to his mouth, “This is juunshi Song, requesting command. Over.”<br/><br/>“This is command, comrade Song.” a female voice responded in a calm even tone.<br/><br/>“We've crossed with Siberians who are requesting assistance in liberating a trapped number of men at the village of Kalachinsk, do we have permission to engage?”<br/><br/>There was a long stretch of silence from the other end. The rumbling of the idling tank filling his ears as he waited for a response.<br/><br/>“This is command.” a voice said again, “Permission is raised to engage hostile forces in the village of Kalachinsk. Coordination with Siberian command recommends to hold the settlement on its liberation and to wait for reinforcement.<br/><br/>“Advance on the village with what support you can acquire.” the voice finished.<br/><br/>“Copy that, Sun Song moving out. Over and out.” he said, connecting the microphone back to the radio box.<br/><br/>Communication and reports continued to flow through the channel like water as Song crawled back out into the Russian light. “Do you have any men who can fight still?” he yelled at the Russian below him.<br/><br/>“We have some, Tovarich.” he said hesitantly.<br/><br/>“Rally them. You're going in with us.” Song ordered.<br/><br/>“Wait, you expect us to help?!” cried the officer. Tsung looked up wide eyed at his commander. A silent conversation, a confirmation went between the two as Song glared down at him. His driver diligently weaseled back into his seat.<br/><br/>“As best you can.” Song said, “And keep behind us as we move!” he yelled, sliding back into his seat. The hatch closed with a clang behind him. “Take us to Kalachinsk.” he shouted down into the cabin."

He was a small room he didn't remember arriving in, looking out a shuttered window at a street he didn't remember traveling down. The bed he was sitting on was a poor, rough spring mattress covered in dull beige sheets. Wallpaper was pealing from the walls, revealing the water-stained drywall beneath. He was covered in his own sweat, droplets settling on his arms and soaking the clothes he had been wearing for days. In his hand, he was fingering the trigger-guard of a polished military-issue handgun.<br/><br/>It was heavy and cold. He stared at it in horrified fascination as he sat alone in the dark dwelling on all that had happened There were bits and pieces that he could recall. Snapshots mostly, of what little the acid had not addled. He could remember the light, and the flash of fire. He could remember the cops, and the dirty looks the old bar-owner, Horasian, had given him. He could remember Aaliyah sobbing, and the blood that covered the ground. And he could remember the Russian.<br/><br/>One of them would have been dead if it hadn't been for Vasily. When the assassin pulled his weapon, Vasily had acted quickly and drove a knife into his back before he could aim. The bullet had been fired into the ceiling, harming nobody. The only other injuries had been caused in the panic that followed, and that had been little more than bruising. But that hadn't been the end of it.<br/><br/>After the police were convinced the dead man had been killed in self defense, Vasily came to Sahle and his friends. ""I am not thinking that you are popular to everyone."" he had said in his dry way, but there was something else behind his words. ""I will be hiding you now.""<br/><br/>And that he did. It had been hours since the Russian left. When he put the gun in Sahle's hand, he had asked if he knew how to use it. Sahle had nodded, but he was not sure.<br/><br/><i>I have killed men before. I know how.</i>He still could not completely explain what had happened when they escaped Cairo. Perhaps it had been the adrenaline, or his boundless love for Aaliyah, but something had driven him to pull the trigger and kill the Sheik's men. He was not sure he could do it again - not now, not in this way. His mind played through the scenario over and over. When he imagined them busting through the door, dusty white flakes falling from the chipped white paint, he pulled the gun up as quick as he could. Nobody was there, but he froze anyway, and his fingers were hardly steady enough to keep it in his hands. His guts were churning.<i>I could never kill again. I'm no killer...</i><br/><br/>When Sahle had been an Emperor, he had ordered people to their deaths without a second thought. He had ruled during wartime, and his words had caused thousands to die. Even now, sitting humbled in the gutter, he did not care. It wasn't their lives he was afraid of taking. It was something else. He couldn't place it, but the entire idea that his life depended on the trueness of his trigger finger frightened the fuck out of him.<br/><br/><i>""He is dead now.""</i>Vasily's sing-song voice echoed through his head from somewhere in the fog of his memories. Why had the Russian taken so much interest in him? Did he know? Sometimes, Sahle felt certain that his identity would be discovered. It seemed miraculous that it hadn't yet. He had been an Emperor after all, and his face has been plastered all over a continent. Could Sotelo do the same, or Hou? Or maybe someone else assumed dead was walking amongst the dregs in disguise. The thought of not being the only phantom king made him feel uncomfortable.<br/><br/><i>Where is Aaliyah?</i>This entire situation was suspicious. Who had the bullet been meant for? What were Vasily's interests? He thought of his friends being pulled away into the darkness so they could be murdered quietly, and he awkwardly drew his handgun and aimed it at the door.<i>I don't think I shook as much this time...</i><br/><br/>Sahle heard a soft thump. He jumped and looked at the window only to see the Russian climbing through. Sahle aimed. Vasily saw and laughed. ""You should be putting way that away now."" he said quietly, waving his hand as he hopped down. ""I know what you are wanting to also know.""<br/><br/>Vasily tossed a bloodied card down on the floor. It was white except for the brown-red stains, and the image of a the Giza Sphinx. ""I found that paper on the body. I found a hotel key, and I found the hotel too.""<br/><br/>""The h..hotel?"" Sahle stuttered. His eyes were fixed on the Sphinx. He knew what it meant.<i>We got away though...</i><br/><br/>""Your little problem is done now, I finished it. But it is a big problem too I am thinking. I am thinking you will be seeing more of it. I may be knowing a man who can make it go away.""<br/><br/>""Do I have to stay here then?"" Sahle asked, ""I want to see Aaliyah."" His voice has been shaken until now. When he said her name, he said it firmly. The Russian cocked his head.<br/><br/>""I am understanding."" he nodded. ""I will take you to the man I am knowing tomorrow. If you want to see your woman friend, I am thinking it will be safe.""<br/><br/>Vasily sauntered over to the door. It was the same door Sahle had aimed at over and over again that night. All night, he had imagined assassins breaking down that door and finishing him off right there as he trembled and surrendered. That door had been at the center of his worst thoughts all night. Vasily opened it. When Sahle seen the dim hallway that had been behind it, the door suddenly seemed different. And then the entire room was something else. It was no longer a tomb, it was just a room.<br/><br/>Sahle followed. The wallpaper in the hallway was a deep red, though it was turning pink in places where the sun reached it through the windows. When he stepped out, his feet met with dark crimson shag carpet which felt like mush after the wooden floors of the room they had left.<i>This is a hotel.</i>He instantly recognized.<i>How many hotels does a town need, anyway?</i><br/><br/>The halls were thin, barely allowing room for the passage of two people abreast. Each door they passed was a rich mahogany rather than the pale white door with chipping pain that he had stared at for most of the day.<br/><br/>He watched the Russian as they walked. Vasily looked out of place in his brown fatigues, with a long skinning knife hanging from one holster and a thin sort of dagger hanging from another. He moved around as comfortably as a tourist would, leisurely walking the halls like he owned them, but his head bobbed subtly from side to side as they passed each door. In the dark, he was as pale as a ghost. Sahle could remember visiting Denmark several lifetimes ago, when he had just been a care-free Prince with a taste for liquor and pussy. He had seen white people before, but people as white as those from the far north still seemed odd. Vasily was especially pale for his race. His skin seemed almost translucent in this light.<br/><br/>They reached a door at the end of a hall, which led them into a shaft of cement stairs in a brick stairwell. Their footsteps echoed as they descended. It smelled damp, like standing water after sitting in the sun for a few days. A moldy brass pipe ran between to of the walls. Rust bubbled where the pipes met the walls, causing red smears to run across the sandy bricks.<br/><br/>The door at the bottom of the stairs emptied into another thin hallway. Racks covered with brightly colored clothes and rolling carts covered in make-up supplies tipped Sahle to where he was. When they reached a wooden platform that sounded like a drum as they walked, Sahle knew for certain. He had been in show business for a while now, and he was well used to the settings. A thick blue curtain divided them from the rest of the room, but Sahle could imagine the rows of seats on the other side. Wooden cut-outs hid the back wall from view, each one painted white with simple green pine-trees dotting their surface.<br/><br/>Vasily stopped suddenly. Sahle looked at him uneasily as the Russian bent down and knocked on the floor three times. A knock answered, and Sahle understood what was going on. Vasily pulled at an short rope-handle and climbed down.<br/><br/>""Sahle!"" Aaliyah's voice greeted him with a squeal. They rushed into each others arms as Vasily stood there gawking.<i>She feels so pretty.</i><br/><br/>With Aaliyah in his arms, Sahle inspected the pit. The floor was hard cement, but the walls were all dusty wood. Poles held up the stage above them, which was hardly but half a foot above his head. They were surrounded by a mess of weird things. There was several wooden horses with angry faces carved onto them. Small models of churches and cabins sat in a pile on the other end. A crown sat on the brow of a canvas mannequin near the ladder. It was thick and covered in purple jewels. Silver chains covered in gemstones dripped from the golden circlet. Below the mannequin, a crude puppet with demonic, child-like features was propped against its base.<br/><br/>Vasily caught Sahle looking at it and puffed up. ""Those are from a play that is playing at this theater that we are being in."" he explained. ""Writer is one of my people. The story is about Ivan III of Russia and how he united the fighting Russian nations and became the Tsar."" He looked at the crown, and a weak hint of sadness seemed to play across his eyes. ""I am thinking this should be happening against some day. My people have been thinking this too.""<br/><br/>""Where are they?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""Many Russians are in Russia, I am thinking."" Vasily answered.<br/><br/>""I mean my friends."" Sahle corrected. ""Yared and Marc.""<br/><br/>""Oh yes."" Vasily nodded. ""They are in other places here. I will take you to them."""

It would be a moment still for his vision to focus away from the vague shapes of blurred colours, and another moment for His Majesty, Florenstano of Savoy, to realize that this assortment of shapes and colours were the suburban outlines of Milan - his destination, as it would be currently.<br/><br/>""Father, how much longer till we arrive? The train is stuffy, especially with all these men here."" Croaked his daughter, as she leaned closer to her mother. He did not blame her, having the Guardia Reale with them constantly wherever they went would put any child on edge. Not that anyone really planned to try anything against his family, he hoped. He was mostly well liked, at least by the majority. The minorities of immigrants, such as the Chinese and Turkish populations in the south, did not approve of his government's policies.<br/><br/>The Parliment was mostly made of people Spain had put into charge after the Ballista Regime was finally put down, so many Spanish policies were adopted and put into effect. Persecution of minorities went unchecked, especially in the industries around Naples, where many Turkish workers are payed several lire less then their Italian co-workers.<br/><br/>He cared little in the end though, he was in the northern part of the Kingdom, to the heart of Milan to give a speach to his people. He had been touring his country with his family for a few months now, speaking to the people about his plans for the future. Though in the end, it was mostly to try and show the people that he isn't as sick as they all thought he was. Despite the efforts of the best doctors in Rome, his condition has gotten much worse over the past year.<br/><br/>He awoked from his thoughts when his wife, Isabella, put her hand on his shoulder. ""We're here, my love, are you coming?"" She looked down at him, worry easily visable on her face. He hadn't realised he had been sitting at the station for over three miniutes, staring down at his lap. He nodded slowly, pushing himself up and grabbing his cane, which was resting against his seat. The symbol of Italy, the golden eagle, resting as the head.<br/><br/>""Are your legs feeling any better? The doctors said the therapy-"" Isabella was cut off with a wave of his hand. ""Have some faith, tesoro. I'll recover from this."" He nodded sharply, before making his way down to the exit, his hands constantly reaching out to grab a seat for support as he passed. The only other people being his family and the Guardia Reale that escorted him.<br/><br/>""In the end, visiting Milan will be good for me. I have not been here since I was a child. The air here is nice, while maybe not as wonderful as the field near Naples or the smell of the sea outside of Venice... Milan has it's own flavor to it."" He said to no one in particular, and no one responded, except his daughter. ""Father, how long will be here?"" She asked, a normal question she asked everytime they arrived at a new city on their tour. The answer was always the same; ""Two days, my girl, only two days then we return to Rome.""<br/><br/>------------<b> Naples, Italy</b>------------<br/><br/>The sound of the door opening roused Tiberio from his daydream, raising his head from the counter, yawning grogilly. ""Keep face off the counter, people eat on that!"" Said the man who had just walked in, his Italian was not the best, and his Chinese accent did little to help.<br/><br/>""I thought you had a business trip in Volgograd, and that you were to stay there for a few years?"" Said Tiberio, running a hand through his hair, while Kein simply sighed in response, anger contorting his features. ""Would've! Country not in good shape, returned home to see me go through three security checks in airport, and get pulled over twice on road. What has happened? Much worse then before!""<br/><br/>""The Parlamento along with our Majesty have done little to stop prejudice down south here, just thank god you are not Turkish. The few groups that settled in Sicily and Naples, have gone through the worst.""<br/><br/>Kein scoffed, moving over to the counter and sitting down on one of the stools. ""You keep good care of my resturant? I'm going to reopen it, show Naples China good at food, no need for prejudice!""<br/><br/>Tiberio simply nodded in return, as he folded his arms on the counter to comfortable lean forward, supporting his weight on it. ""Kein, I think it may be best to just return to China, no offense. I don't think the racism will end becasue of some grand reopening - It'll probably just get worse.""<br/><br/>Kein glared, slamming his fist against the table. ""I will not leave! I have been here for ten years, learned your language and open resturant which was successful! I will do it all again, just you see. Now go make some fliars, you're going to be my assistant again."" He would get off the stool, setting it back into place before moving to the door, opening it. ""And wipe that counter, filthy."""
22008,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-05-15 02:17:00,Vilageidiotx,"<b>Addis Ababa</b><br/><br/>In his mind, Ras Hassan envisioned himself on a dusty battlefield. He was young now, lean and fit without any aches or tiredness in his limbs. He held scimitar in his hand. The edge of the blade was as sharp as a fresh razor, and firelight danced across the steel in a bloom of red and yellow. Death cries and the rattle of rifles filled the smokey heat-choked air, but where they came from did not matter. His imagination focused on the faceless soldier on the other side of the field. He was an enemy - a Spaniard - and in his crisp uniform and emotionless stance he looked inhuman - more automaton than man. The Spaniard was nothing but death holding a firearm. His weapon was tipped with a long bayonet reflecting the same fiery light as Hassan's sword.<br/><br/>The Spaniard charged, and Hassan met him. Somewhere on the battlefield, battered flags caught the air and twisted violently with the winds of war. A solar yellow and vivid red covered the sky against the Lion of Judah framed on proud African colors; green, red, and yellow. Were those hoof-beats or the choking hum of tank engines? It did not matter. The world was far away and the Spaniard was right in front of him, bounding silently across the dirt.<br/><br/>Hassan sprinted, jumping away from the Spaniard as he thrust his bayonet through the smoke. Before Hassan could land a blow, his foe snapped backward and parried with his rifle. Sparks flew when steel met steel, and the dance was on. The Spaniard did not use his weapon like it was meant to be used - he did not look for the opportunity to shoot, nor did he pay attention to the trigger or the barrel. It was a pike to him - another ancient weapon to meet Hassan's sword in equal combat. Even when Hassan's scimitar dug into the wooden stock of the enemy's weapon, when splinters flew from the gnawing blade, the rifle stayed together as if it were made of iron.<br/><br/>The Spaniard was the personification of hate. He did not wince when he received a cut on the forearm, nor did he relent. There was nothing in his face, if he had one at all. His eyes were like two stones and his lips pressed together with dutiful sternness. He could have been anyone, jabbing at Hassan like it was a drill and not a matter of life or death. Burning clouds whirled in the background, casting a flickering light. Memories faded into one another. He remembered the first man he killed, in the mountains of Ethiopia when the countryside rallied against their Emperor. The smell of blood and ash came back to him - reminders of The Congo, the Highlands, and Syria.<br/><br/>When Hassan finally struck the killing blow, the enemy's head flew from his body as if it meant nothing to him, and a fountain of blood took its place. The corpse fell cleanly to the ground, but the grisly remnants of the neck continued to bleed. Blood turned the dust into coagulating mud and flooded the ground around his feet. Blood soaked through his shoes and turned his socks damp and cold. The body was painted crimson, and it glistened prettily in the light.<i>In my dreams, they always bleed more.</i><br/><br/>The daydream was over and he was back in the gardens of the Imperial Residence. The sky was crisp and blue, with bulbous grey clouds floating like islands in the sea. A marble fountain bubbled in the background, cooling the greenery. In the shade of the arched colonnade, it was cooler. Hassan stood next to a pearly white column, the wool of his dress uniform itching at his skin. It was an olive-green, but stitched together so skillfully that the fabric hardly moved.<i>It's stiff and heavy. This isn't soldier's clothes.</i>The public liked their fighting men dressed like royal guards, as if it distracted from the bloody reality of their work.<br/><br/>Two Palestinian men stood by his side, dressed in Ethiopian uniforms with only their new flag stitched on their lapels to distinguish them. The Turkish wars had been going on for longer than the public ever realized, and they had produced men who were warriors to the core. Wartime had given them a purpose. It gave them all the food and cash they could kill for, and they always knew where they would be the next day. Peacetime had promised them little and less - perhaps police work if they were lucky, but what else was there? Crime promised them a lifestyle they understood, but they could hardly return to the factories or live life as shepherds or taxi drivers. It was something Hassan had understood, and when he offered to hire mercenaries from those who could never find military work in their homelands, many had taken him up on the offer.<br/><br/>They weren't all Palestinian, though most were. There were Greeks and Armenians, Georgians and Syrians in the mix. Hassan had hired them with Hejaz in mind. Most of them were of Arab blood. If anybody could learn to control rebellious Arabs, it would have to be their own kind.<br/><br/>But now a new war loomed. Spain. Hassan had smelled it coming long ago, and he welcomed it. He had not rose so far to become a politician. Hassan had no interest in discussing policy and shifting money. He had been raised on the stories of his grandfather, Mansuur ibn Ra'd. His grandfather had been driven out of Arabia during the rise of the Saudi's, and he had taken his sons to Somalia where he fought the British alongside Muhammad `Abd Allāh al-Hasan, the man the British called the ""Mad Mullah"", who gave Mansuur land. The old man took on the name ""Mansuur Ra'd al-Soomaaliyeed"" as a sign of his pride in his new home. When the Mad Mullah died, their family had taken up common cause with the Ethiopians. His grandfather's life had been one of honor, and he was revered as a warrior by his people. A sandstone statue stood in the middle of Jowhaar where Hassan had been born, and thought it had looked powerful when it was erected, time had already taken a bite from it the last time he visited his old home. Wind had tore at the old rock, smoothing its features and covering its surface in pocks. Hassan had risen further than his grandfather could have imagined. When they built his statue, it would be made of marble.<br/><br/>The royal family had met in the garden, standing in line like and awkward formation of wealthy soldiers. They wore their pale silk robes and the women their dripping jewelry, but their heads were covered by rubbery Chinese gas masks. These were the typical sort - black with large buggy eyes and a stubby tube hanging from the mouth like an elephant's trunk, not like the asymmetrical monstrosities the Chinese military preferred.<br/><br/>An IB agent studied the fit of the masks, fidgeting with them and tugging on the seams. ""Do they feel comfortable? Do they fit right?"" The agent worried, ""Are they loose? The gas the Spaniards use will kill you in an instant if they can get through.""<br/><br/>""Ah-by"" little Tewodros whines, his voice muffled by the expressionless mask they had fitted him. ""I don't want to be kill."" He was spooked, but the boy didn't cry.<i>He has my blood.</i>Hassan thought. Sometimes it was easy to forget that his grandson was the heir to the throne. Even raising her, Azima had always seemed like a foreign child. He never needed a girl. He wouldn't have claimed her if it wasn't for Yohannes's insistence.<br/><br/>""You won't, Tewo."" Yaqob's soft voice was softened further by the mask. He lifted the boy in his arms, a lanky ghost holding an infant phantom. The royals looked like dead things in their masks, but not frightening. With their tall, spindly bodies and wealthy clothes, they looked all together silly.<br/><br/>Hassan frowned. ""Never mind the comfort."" he bellowed. ""We have ways to test it. Get on with that.""<br/><br/>The agent looked at him and nodded. ""Right, Ras. I apologize."" he fumbled in the pocket of his black coat and pulled out an blank aerosol spray can. ""We filled this with a scented material with a similar weight."" he explained. ""If you can smell it, it means there is a compromise."" The masked royalty nodded. Holding the can at arms length, the agent sprayed it in front of their faces. They did not flinch.<br/><br/>Hassan sniffed. It smelled like sweat and oranges. He wrinkled his nose. ""What is that, captain.""<br/><br/>""Perfume, sir."" the agent said. ""It was hard finding something that smells strongly and is a similar consistency to VX. This seems to work though.""<br/><br/>""Perfume?"" Hassan snorted.<br/><br/>The agent grinned. ""From China. Beijing Woman's Scent Number Four. The communists don't make names to sell things, as it turns out.""<br/><br/>Hassan nodded abruptly. ""Get on with it then.""<br/><br/>The royal family sniffed behind their masks, bobbing their heads so that they looked like insects curiously inspecting their surroundings. The silence loomed heavy. Hassan looked at the sky.<i>It will come from there.</i>He thought. In the back of his mind, he half expected to hear the distant roar of a Spanish bomber squadron as it took them by surprise from the skies.<i>That would be one hell of a war. Addis Ababa turned into Africa's Seattle, and the rest of Africa fighting like a pack of hounds missing their master.</i>If the Spanish VXed the city right here in this moment, even the royal family wouldn't be safe. VX went to work as soon as it touched and bare skin, so the Chinese IB had told them. They had full body suits for the most important personnel, but right now those were sitting in a crate somewhere in the Walinzi offices downtown.<br/><br/>""Get it off."" a weak, gray voice called from the rubber mask on the short, plump woman dressed in black. Elani, the Queen Dowager, was going into senility at an early age. She was hardly older than Hassan, but life had taken its toll on the sensitive widow of Yohannes V. She had lost a husband to an assassins bullet, and another son had went missing shortly after being deposed and imprisoned far away. Her second son, Yaqob, had only barely survived an assassination and was left a dour shell of the inspired young man he had once been.<i>I've had the blood of my friends splattered across my clothes. I saw men die and be tortured. It hasn't driven me insane.</i><br/><br/>Elani tugged anemically at the gasmask crowning her head. ""You shouldn't do that..."" the Walinzi agent fretted. He reached out to stop her, but Taytu - a ridiculously tall girl in a European mockery of a man's suit - reached her first. ""It's okay, Mother. They are just testing it.""<br/><br/>""It smells."" Elani whimpered. ""I'll tell Yohannes. I'll tell your father they made wear it. It was hot in there. I couldn't breath.""<br/><br/>""I couldn't smell the perfume."" Azima said, taking her mask off. The tight rubber made her hair fall into a mess. Sometimes, Hassan could see his eyes in the Queens. It was one of the few things she had gotten from him.<br/><br/>""That is good."" the Agent smiled. ""Very good then."" Yaqob helped Tewodros with his mask before taking off his own. It was only the little rebel child, Olivier, Taytu's Garengenze whelp who she adopted after Hassan took his arm during the war, still wore his mask. The boy didn't seem to miss the limb, and it had helped end a war that could have cost them more than a few tiny hands.<i>These people haven't seen fighting. Only Azima. They don't understand that they pay me and my army to hurt people for them. It's not like it is in the movies.</i>People who couldn't slice parts off a child to end a war had no business thinking about his work. They had no business with anything to do with soldiering.<br/><br/>The little boy stood behind them like a fool, staring through the insect eyes of his mask, saying nothing and doing as much. The agent noticed and quietly went to help the kid.<br/><br/>""VX catches the skin, does it not?"" Yaqob asked. ""Just masks won't work?""<br/><br/>The agent nodded. ""We will be getting full-body suits, like the ones we use to sweep contaminated areas. The Chinese have been gracious in getting us the supplies we need.""<br/><br/>""How about the rest of the city?"" Taytu added, holding her mother against her chest. ""I read in the briefing that the police would be getting a large supply of masks to hand out to people.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" The agent fidgeted.<i>He doesn't like this part. He doesn't have the guts.</i>""We... can't get everybody suits. Emergency ventilated bunkers are being built, but we don't know if we will have any operating aside from the two or three that were built during the last invasion crisis. Our plan is to evacuate as many people as we can, should we be gassed, but part of that is avoiding panic. If people think the masks are in place and can work, we might be able to avoid a evacuation failure.""<br/><br/>""And nobody knows about this? I would hope we have chemists that understand even just the basics of VX gas."" Taytu countered.<br/><br/>""We do."" the agent replied. ""We're doing what we can to keep everything quiet.""<br/><br/>Taytu nodded.<i>Hopefully the bitch is satisfied.</i>She didn't like him, and she said it openly. European learning had addled her brain, and she had came back with ideas that clashed with the way things really worked. If Hassan had been given a choice, he would have nominated one of the veteran diplomats as Adviser of Foreign Affairs, but instead Yaqob had given the job to his sister -a college graduate who had spent half of her life outside of he country.<br/><br/>Yaqob handed Tewodros to Azima with a smile. The boy was aware, staring at the two soldierly Palestinian mercenaries in wonder. Azima took Olivier by the hand and led the children out of the garden, passing Hassan with nothing but a polite glance. Taytu followed suit, leading her mother. Taytu's glance was not as polite.<i>She looks at me as if I had caused her mother to go crazy. Maybe the dumb bitch blames that on me too.</i><br/><br/>""Ras Hassan."" Yaqob said warmly, tossing the masks in his hand into a nearby crate. ""We need to talk.""<br/><br/>""Of course, you're Imperial Highness."" Hassan said. They began to walk.<br/><br/>The colonnade opened at one end of the garden into a gap between the walls, where the stoney walkway opened into a veranda facing the city. A wall of palm-trees blocked much of the view, but gaps between their fronds showed patches of white and grey scattered across the green distance. Beige mountains stood over all, made transparent by a distant haze. The wind caught the palm-fronds and caused them to chatter. Whistling songbirds sang over the distant city sounds.<br/><br/>""The war is inevitable I take it."" Yaqob said. He sounded dolorous as usual, but he had managed to make that trait seem thoughtful.<br/><br/>""Their navy is moving through the Mediterranean as we speak. We lost our navy to the Ottomans, so there is little we can do to resist."" Hassan explained.<br/><br/>""I heard you sent a ship."" Yaqob asked. ""The ENS Aksum, they say.""<br/><br/>Hassan smiled bitterly. ""They have too big of a mouth, then."" he joked. Yaqob continued to stare at him sullenly, looking for an answer. ""Yes."" Hassan confirmed. ""The ENS Aksum will meet up with them in the Suez Canal. We cannot stop them, but we can slow them down."" he paused. ""Have you ever heard of Thermopylae?""<br/><br/>Yaqob nodded. ""I saw a movie about it when I was in China. They misidentified the Persians as Turks in the movie, but I know the real story as well.""<br/><br/>""The Suez Canal might just serve as our Hot Gates."" Hassan said."

Or at least to the men. She didn't doubt she could manage to describe it other women in the force. Precautions needed to be taken, or so the indoctrination claimed. And given the often passive-aggressive hostility or the insistent flirting many lonely soldiers tried to pull on her type it paid to keep such observations quiet, or learn to put someone in a hold and threaten to tear off his balls.<br/><br/>But there was still that something in riding in one. Even so high up in the turret the vibration and rattle of the heavy diesel engine in back. Even with the muffled effects of reduced cylinders in the new power-plant for the modern TG 1980 there was still that distinct thunder in its chassis. The distinct way it rumbled through the steel, assisted by the way the treads moved across rough terrain that rolled deep into her legs. Even though the edge of her small steel seat often numbed them from lack of appropriate padding, the message over her pelvis was almost a way to forgive that. Just short of a prolonged orgasm.<br/><br/>And the gun she got to handle to go with it.<br/><br/>Her shoulders brushed against the side of the impossibly angled targeting computer. A whole mess of knobs and levers and dials she couldn't ever hope to read. But she knew it by heart, just like every other gunner in the Armored core of the Chinese army. Wi Hui had alongside him the auxiliary box, should something ever happen to her or the computer at her side that would prevent the precise angling and movement of the turret in which they sat.<br/><br/>Wi Hui, her loader sat staring out the tiny pin-hole window he was given. It was almost expected that if she was removed he was entrusted with blindly firing at approximately the same coordinates Sung would give in engagement. But Lin knew him well enough he wasn't searching for anything to shoot, he was putting aside himself for when he needed to take the dive to load shells. It was coming, the sternness in Sung's voice as he screamed over the radio for positions on the rest of the column were testament to that.<br/><br/>“Position requests on any units near coordinate positions 55, 74!” he shouted. The map laid out on his lap brushed its corners alongside Lin's face in rhythm with the movements her seat was taking her through.<br/><br/>“55, 74. Kalachinsk, Russian Republic. Come in!” he continued to yell, taking occasional glances up wards through his canopy of glass and steel to check the surroundings.<br/><br/>Lin wondered where they were in regards to their area. Filled with the curiosity of the moment, she pull the sighting scope up to her eyes and gave the road ahead a gander.<br/><br/>It was broken up, pot-holed, and mostly rain whetted mud and clay. Deep ruts ran the length of the muddy and churned soil, marking where trucks had passed. Water filled these furrows, breaking only for sticks or the upturned rock or thick unbroken clod of clay kicked up by any of the vehicles that came through.<br/><br/>There was a misty sort of quality ahead of them. The trees dropped with a sort of sadness. It was fitting really, for the almost two years she had come to know the Russian atmosphere there was no fitting display. The Russians were a people who had lost their nation some ten years ago. The Siberians had only just repaired their state a year prior, just before she had been sent her with this lovable crew. She couldn't lie, she loved them like brothers. It came with the territory, she assumed.<br/><br/>And this territory, this was knew. She didn't even know if in the eyes of the Russian peoples supposedly their allies if they trusted them. Did they see them as saviors? Or just another complicating element in their greater revolution. After all, it was no secret among them that the Chinese had flummoxed in assuring a hastier end to their Civil War. They held the president of the Republic, they could have demanded their cessation and allowed them to be absorbed in Siberia!<br/><br/>Though, despite this: the Diplomatic offices liked to deny it. They with the rest of Beijing claim it was them defending the east against the terrors of VX. To prevent another Seattle. Maybe they were right, in a strange sense. But it was the only they thing toted.<br/><br/>“Sun Song, Q-41I. Calling in at approximately two a half kilometers north of the old Siberian highway inbound to Kalachinsk. Requesting all nearby units for assistance.” he continued, looking up through the glass. That queer ovular microphone pressed close over his mouth as a singe hand held down the bouncing and waving map.<br/><br/>“Do we have an-” bullets began striking the side of the armored shell, silencing Song mid-call as the pinging and twisting of lead striking against the side of the hull pattered like rain. An anxious smile exploded across Lin's face as she leaned back in her chair, going for the adjustment as Hui began to scramble for shells, coming to that precarious balance between seat and hanging.<br/><br/>“270 degrees!” Song bellowed to the crew, leaning in to his bulletproof ports and peering out into the countryside around them, “Nest, five hundred meters!”<br/><br/>Metal clinked and clattered as a motor hummed as Lin reached to the targeting console and blindly dialed in the position, trusting her intuition and sense of feel, she peered through her sights as she spun the turret to the appropriate position on her left. As steel clashed shut Hui bellowed out, “READY!”<br/><br/>Lin needn't have any other command as she cupped the trigger mechanism firmly in her palm and pulled.<br/><br/>With a resounding sound of thunder, the chamber of the main gun erupted with a meaty and throaty boom. Immediately, the filmy white tuft of exaust steamed out from the chamber as the empty shell was ejected, split moments after the muzzle flashed with bright fire, streaming out an flashing silver flash. From Lin's command a blooming explosion of soil, dirt, and wood bloomed up out of the distant tree line, sending high a column of debris.<br/><br/>Though the offending nest fell silent, it summoned further attention to them.<br/><br/>Like angered bees dashing themselves against the thick hide of a bear live fire rained on them. The metal sing and dinged as bullets recoiled ineffective against them. The soft tinging of the thick plexi of the windows only suggested that they would need many more rounds to break a hole that may put their Commander – or driver – down.<br/><br/>The reports of responsive fire from the rest of the Tei Gui under Song's hand responded in muffled waves as they freely fired on the distant tree ridge.<br/><br/>“Arrow head!” Song hollered into his radio, “Clear through the tree line! Break what you can, let the Russians mop up the rest!”<br/><br/>“Sir, we're taking fire!” Tsung shouted nervously over the mounting racket that was the saddened attempt of suppressive fire on mobilized armor. For all of his unproven worth, Lin couldn't help but snicker. He was young, cute. But thus far a pussy. Though Hui seemed to treat him understandingly enough, but then again, so had he to she, and to Tsung's predecessor; an impressive man and a amusement lost to his own stupidity.<br/><br/>“What fire! I see no fire!” Song shouted back down to him, almost laughing. The rebuke did make Lin smile excitedly as she waited for new coordinates to dial in.<br/><br/>“GROUP!” Song shouted down. Lin's heart raced in excitement. She shuffled her legs in anticipation. “300 degrees! Six hundred meters! HE, by the bushes!”<br/><br/>Ling responded thus, looking down her para-scope as Hui loaded the shell. The soft clicking of the dials muted by the Russian rain on their thick hide, and the burning roar of their powerful motor. She scouted down the offending group, an odd assortment as they tried to pack up and run from them, fleeing down the road to the town in the distant.<br/><br/>Over the thin trees and sparse foliage the roof tops of the village of Kalachinsk rose in the distant. Faded and murky through lens and wet fog. But for what she could see, it was the same as any settlement in the Russian far-east. Very few proud, old structures rose high above. Very much unlike the fabled imagery of a rural Europe. It was the last czar's push in capitalizing the riches of his land's sparsest place. It was also smoldering, and where her targets sought shelter.<br/><br/>“READY!” Hui bellowed, and the report of the gun sounded heavy in the enclosed shell of the hull. The report a great crack of thunder. A plum of rock and soil responded just ahead of the retreating men that threw them back and scattered the rest in the air. They hit the ground limp to not get back up.<br/><br/>“Muzzle flash, possible nest!” reporting Song. From the deck below Lin could hear weak stifled coughing from Tsung, “Straight ahead. Five-hundred meters.”<br/><br/>Lin dialed in the coordinates, re-adjusting the turret to run along with where the tank thundered. She stole a brief glance below to try and see what was wrong, but only caught Hui pulling out a long cylindrical brass shell.<br/><br/>The same steel hatch closed, and again Hui screamed at the ready. Drawing the firing mechanism the barrel reported loud and proud as a shell flew to the offending direction.<br/><br/>The explosion lit up the wooded patch behind the target position. Bright fire bloomed from the brush and trees. Taking over and ripping into the Russian nest in a cloud of dirt and white-hot rounds. From the tracers streaking from the impact sight, the explosion caught an ammunition dump. Red and green tracers ripped haphazardly through the air, burning bright luminescent trails through the air.<br/><br/>The flashes and bangs of additional fire buffeted and boomed just outside as the advancing Chinese pushed through the soft defense of the Republican counter-siege. Clods of smoke and ash bloomed across the fields and in the road as the village of Kalachinsk drew nearer. Lin took a breath as Song gave more orders. Through the parascope the red roofs and starched white, sterile structures of Kalachinsk grew nearer."

To understate, it had been a taxing night for the green recruit. Not three months out of basic training and lacking in any real combat experience, he had been marched onto one of a fleet of these carrier-gunships. His helicopter's fuselage was a long, fusiform shape, drawing into stubby snout fanged with armor-sundering machine guns. Without doubt a predatory machine; their designation - Barracuda - was a fitting nomer. A swarm of them rolled over the gilded waves and troughs of the sea.<br/><br/>The fuselage of the Barracuda had not been designed with a restful night's sleep as a priority. A long, bench of canvas supported by aluminum bars bolted along the hull accommodated twelve equipped<i>infanteria</i>on either side of the aisle - all squished shoulder to shoulder to maximize carrying capacity and minimize comfort. Even so, Luis rested his helmet-cupped head against the bolt-studded interior wall in a mostly-futile effort to get some sleep. Against the backdrop the back of his eyelids provided, fleeting, short-lived dreams played out. Dinner with the family in the backyard with the haze-faded mountains of Huesca in the distance, wrestling with parents' dog on the living room floor, sultry fantasies involving the girl he fancied; anything that removed him from the unfortunate actuality of the past months.<br/><br/>The world came back to Luis once again; a friendly shove to the shoulder tore him from his reveries and returned him to the Barracuda. Luis turned grogilly to his right and found his companion Hector sitting beside him with a guilty grin.<br/><br/>""How the fuck can you be tired right now, Luis?""<br/><br/>""And how are you not? It wasn't even ten in the evening before the sirens went off."" Luis groaned, massaging grains of grit from the corner of his eyes.<br/><br/>""Adrenaline."" Hector smiled, gleefully squeezing gloved palms together.<br/><br/>""He's right to try to get some sleep, Hector. Leave him in peace."" Luis' neighbor to his left commanded. ""Save the adrenaline of yours; it will serve you better when some sandmonkey blows your arm off."" Luis and Hector both turned to face the man to his right: Lieutenant Fulvio Ayesta, the assigned leader of their platoon.<br/><br/>""Perhaps you should hide your boner for Luis a little more carefully!"" Hector shot, drawing light snickering from a few other grunts. ""Wouldn't want some Ethiopian to shoot off your<i>verga</i>.""<br/><br/>""Maybe so."" Ayesta shrugged. ""I could hardly blame them. It's quite a target: large, easy to hit. But yours? No marksman could ever hope to hit a target as small as<i>your</i>prick.""<br/><br/>Soldiers in earshot made cooing 'oooh's as they heard Ayesta's response. Even Hector stifled a chuckle, admitting defeat.<br/><br/>""Take it from one who's seen action on the Dark Continent, there will excitement aplenty.""<br/><br/>Before meeting Lieutenant Ayesta, Luis' only experience with a combat veteran had been with his grandfather. He had fought in the Armee Francaise against the Prussians during the Great War and after which emigrated to Spain. But even to his death, his grandfather had positively refused to speak about his experiences during the war. Whatever horrors of that war that Luis' grandfather had witnessed went with him to the grave.<br/><br/>Ayesta, on the other hand, always had something to say about his combat career. He had cut his teeth in the Spanish intervention in the Ivory Coast, now the Rio Niger province of the Republic's African territory. At every relevant occasion - and a great many irrelevant ones - Lieutenant Ayesta found an opportunity to regale the platoon on his tour of duty in the jungles of West Africa. Luis' stomach always turned as Ayesta described in vivid detail the napalming of rebel-held buildings or the holding of entire villages at gunpoint. But what unsettled Luis more than anything was not the visceral nature of Ayesta's tales, but his tone as he recounted them. Ayesta actually seemed to miss warfare; to long for the cathartic release of armed conflict. Luis could not begin to imagine how anyone could enjoy going to war.<br/><br/>""Do Africans even have guns?"" A soldier across the aisle asked in half-jest. ""I'm almost expecting them to field flintlocks and swords.""<br/><br/>""You're not terribly far off. The insurgency in the Rio Niger was supplied in large part by Ethiopians. A lot of it was very obsolete: I recall a great deal of hand-me-down Great War material . The higher-ups seems to agree, their intelligence suggests a very large fighting force with mostly outdated weaponry and variable training. It will be an interesting fight... but futile on their part."" As Lieutenant Ayesta went on, Luis dropped out from the discussion and took notice his comrades seated at the opening of the helicopter's fuselage leaned and craned their necks to get a better look out into the sea.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqFdUAZrrMw&amp;t=00m47s"">((Suggested listening.))</a><br/><br/>""Look! There they are!"" A soldier exclaimed over the roar of the propellers.<br/><br/>The entire cadre turned and peered out of the gunship's port side. On the sea, silhouetted against water glistening in the dawn's orange glow, was the black, angular form of a warship. A convoluted canopy of radar masts and antenna dishes rose forth from a bridge towering above steel turrets, each bearing two or three mammoth guns pointed directly ahead. The roar of the Barracuda's propellers tearing through the air echoed off the vessel's hull and faded quickly as the ship passed behind the gunship. A second warship bristling with the same monstrous artillery passed by, followed by a more slender, gracile form of a cruiser. The helicopter banked gently over the fourth vessel in the convoy and turned about. And as the helicopter turned, the rest of the fleet came into view. Staggered across miles and miles of open ocean were dozens of warships stretching all the way to the horizon. Frothy trails of propeller-churned water were left in the wake of each warship; a diffuse trail of diesel smoke wafted into the air behind the vessel as they steamed eastward at full speed. Displayed before Luis and his companions was the whole of Spain's Mediterranean Fleet.<br/><br/>""There it is."" Hector gasped. ""The Armada.""<br/><br/>Three Barracudas swooped down into formation alongside Luis' gunship as it skirted alongside the deck of a destroyer. Sailors on the deck clapped and pumped their fists into the air as the helicopters roared past. As they darted by another destroyer, a handful of the infantry tapped their companions on the shoulder and pointed to an onboard crane lowering a tank-esque armored vehicle into a side-mounted landing craft.<br/><br/>""Look! They've bringing in Prometeos!"" A soldier exclaimed, pointing at the armored rocket-artillery vehicle swaying precariously over the side of the warship as the helicopter flew by.<br/><br/>Situated in the center of the fleet, escorted by a triad of cruisers, was the flagship of the armada and the destination of the gunships - the larger of the Spanish Republic's two remaining aircraft carriers:<i>La Ira de Dios</i>. Several other the Barracuda helicopters sat upon the island of tarmac; their propellers idling down as their cargoes of soldiers poured out onto the deck and and lined into rank and file under the red-tinged shadow of a grand Spanish flag flapping vigorously on the updrafts. Luis' stomach lurched forward as the helicopter slowed down and eased in toward the carrier to touch down.<br/><br/>Heads turned to the starboard as a flicker of motion drew the eyes of the infantrymen to the other side of the helicopter. An aircraft the likes of which Luis had never seen shot past the Barracudas with unbelievable speed. Within the blink of an eye, Luis registered the passing of an airplane with swept, triangular wings that seemed to lack any sort of propeller. The thrumming drone of the helicopter's rotor was drowned out for a moment as an ear-splitting shriek split the skies seconds after the plane shot past.<br/><br/>""<i>Carajo!</i>""<br/><br/>""What the fuck was that?!""<br/><br/>""I see some of us just saw a Fantasma for the first time!"" Lieutenant Ayesta cackled at the fresh recruits cupping their hands over their ears. ""Now, look sharp and be ready to land and disembark! Admiral Santin's waiting on us! Let's move!"""

Inside, the calming, yet somehow also exiting sound of a waltz could be heard, with the faint sounds of chit chat and laughter escaping out into the night.<br/><br/>Upon entry, guests were guided to the source of this noise- the grand ballroom. It's walls and floors shone like pure gold in the yellow lighting that radiated from grand chandeliers on the ceiling, only being broken up by the colorful clothing adorned by the visitors who had assembled there. Lining the inner wall were elegant tabled, draped in pure white tablecloths, and covered in various foods, surely all rich in taste. Meanwhile, at the far end of the room, various small tabled that seated four persons each sat, barely visible from the entry, blocked first by people standing and chatting in groups, and then more so by the large open space where people had taken to dancing to the music being performed by a live band, located somewhere in the mass of people.<br/><br/>As the flow of people into the ballroom stopped, a final name was checked off a list being held by a man at the door, and the large doors to the ballroom were all closed, shortly followed by a stop in the music. After exchanging formalities, dance partners joined the group of people being held back near the base of a large staircase, leading up into the actual housing area of the royal family. The large doors at the top of the stairs opened, and guards walked down, lining both ends of the split staircase, and pooling at the bottom, in front of the large crowd.<br/><br/>Shortly after, a small man with a thick white mustache and almost no hair on his head walked out the same doors, but stopping at the edge of the stairs, and steeping off to the side. As he cleared his throat, the lights of the room were dimmed, beside the one sitting above the staircase. The crowd hushed to whispers, and the elderly man began to speak.<br/><br/>“Thank you all for gathering here tonight, for this celebration of the eighteenth birthday of Prince Ferdinand of Romania. On behalf of his majesty, the king, I would like to thank you all for any gifts brought for the occasion. Now, without further ado, I present to you the royal family!”<br/><br/>A small burst of clapping filled the room, before dying down so the announcer could continue.<br/><br/>“First to join you all this evening, is the lovely Princess Mirela, accompanied by her mother, the beautiful Queen Nadia!”<br/><br/>As the clapping picked back up, a tall woman with curly, dark brown hair and slim features stepped out in a large, white dress, accompanied by a younger girl with a matching hair color, but without the curls and wearing a sleek dress of the same color. With bright smiles, and a small wave from the older woman, the two descended the staircase, both giving a small curtsy upon reaching the bottom. Still not losing her bright smile, the queen gave a nod to the guards, who let her through to greet her friends and family. The princess, however, stayed where she was, shyly trying to keep out of notice.<br/><br/>After a good ten minutes of the queen greeting everybody, the lights dimmed once more, and the announcer spoke up again.<br/><br/>“If I can have your attention, it is now time for the prince and king to present themselves. So, without hesitation, here they are. King Vlad, and Prince Ferdinand.”<br/><br/>With more clapping, the doors opened, and out stepped a large man with broad shoulders, in the dark green formal outfit of Romanian military men. He looked over the crowd with stern grey eyes, and released a toothy smile from between a closely shaved beard and mustache. To his left, with the kings hand resting on his shoulder stood the prince, who was completely dwarfed by his larger father, despite standing at 178cm himself. With finely cropped hair, matching grey eyes and even a light beard growing in, prince Ferdinand could easily be identified as his fathers son. The only difference was the lack of uniform, and the more perplexed look that sat on the princes face as he scanned the crowd.<br/><br/>As the two began to descend the stairs, people began to congratulate the prince on his coming-of-age, many also wishing him luck in the military, which he was due to join later in the month. After noticing his son not responding, the king tightened his grip on his sons shoulder, and thanked the guests in his place, before shooting a glare down to the prince. When they reached the bottom, the prince dashed off into the crowd before the king could even properly introduce him to people whom he wanted his son to get to know, prompting another stern look from Vlad.<br/><br/>Despite knowing his father would be angry, the prince made his way through the crowd, avoiding people wishing to get his attention. As far as he was concerned, they didn't exist right now, as he was looking for somebody specific. As he searched through the crowd, he heard a high voice call out his name from somewhere behind him, and turned just in time to receive a large hug, and a dazzling smile, which he returned right away.<br/><br/>“Adriana!” The prince said, laughing. “I was beginning to think you weren't here!”<br/><br/>“Please, as if I would miss this!” The young woman said, her green eyes sparkling. “I haven't seen you in nearly three months!”<br/><br/>“Has it really been that long?” the prince asked.<br/><br/>Instead of answering, though, the girl suddenly became very sheepish looking, and looking down at her feet. Before he could ask why, though, Ferdinand saw a shadow looming over his shoulder, and turned around to face his father, who grabbed his wrist.<br/><br/>“Excuse me, Adriana. Ferdinand here has some obligations he has to fulfill before he can socialize. I am sure you understand.”<br/><br/>“Yes, sir.” the young girl replied after straightening her posture, and giving a cordial nod. The king, noticing how he must look, stopped glaring, and put his free hand on her shoulder, smiling down at her. “I promise, once this is done, you two can spend the rest of the evening together.”<br/><br/>With another nod, and a slight blush from hearing the king say that in front of a crowd, Adriana excused herself, as the king took Ferdinand to the other end of the room, where a group of men where waiting.<br/><br/>Upon reaching their destination, the king let go of the prince's wrist, and stood up straight, giving the prince a knock in the spine, prompting him to do the same.<br/><br/>“Ferdinand, these are the people I had planned for you to meet.” the King said, gesturing to the three men. After a brief moment of silence, Ferdinand held his arm out, and gave a firm handshake to all three men, one after another.<br/><br/>First was a man nearly the same size as the prince, but with a much lighter skin tone, clean shave and dirty blonde hair.<br/><br/>“Marian Mircea, my prince. I am the minister of foreign affairs. My job is to make the workload for your father much easier.”<br/><br/>With a small laugh, the prince's hand moved on to the muscular, stocky man next to Marian, who's handshake would have crushed the princes hand had he not been raised by his father.<br/><br/>“Dan Pauker. Though, I'm sure you already know me. I will be your superior soon, after all.”<br/><br/>This time, the prince didn't laugh, and instead, tightened his grip, giving a much more firm handshake in response, prompting a smile from the general. Finally, a bald man with a goatee, and light blue eyes shook the princes hand.<br/><br/>“Yousef Gorie. Personal barber for the king.” The obviously Russian man said with a wink. The prince smiled, albeit awkwardly, having already met the man, and returned the handshake.<br/><br/>“Let's move into the other room.” The king said, after having the prince introduced in front of the crowd. The men all nodded, and followed Vlad into another room, where the door was shut behind him.<br/><br/>Instantly, the prince spoke up.<br/><br/>“You had me introduced to Yousef? And as your personal barber?” the prince asked his father, who only replied with a hearty chuckle.<br/><br/>“Sorry.” said Yousef in a quiet voice. “My job title is supposed to be a secret, and rumours have been circulating. So we figured it best that we could help keep it a secret by saying that in front of all those people.”<br/><br/>A little astonished, the prince nodded. He hadn't even thought that could be why. And he must have had a look on his face that said that, because the king shook his head, and put his hand on his sons shoulder again.<br/><br/>“You still have a lot to learn, boy.”<br/><br/>Ignoring his fathers comment, Ferdinand walked over to Marian, who began to explain what the king had wanted the prince to do all this for.<br/><br/>“Well, you see. We figured that now was as good a time as any for you to sit in on your first meeting, seeing as you turned eighteen today.”<br/><br/>After a brief silence, the prince replied.<br/><br/>“You're kidding, right? I mean... This is supposed to be a party for me, for my 'last day of being a child', isn't it?”<br/><br/>“Yes, it is.” The king said, sternly. “However, you haven't been paying much attention in your studies lately, and your mother said she caught you flirting with a gardener when you were supposed to be practicing tonight’s speech. So I figured this would be the best way to get you to pay attention. Now, sit down, sit up straight, and pay. Attention.”<br/><br/>Meanwhile, out in the ballroom, Princess Mirela had successfully managed to avoid too much attention, and was just about to brave up enough to go get herself some food, when a large, loud man stepped up to the table, prompting the princess to retreat into a small side room. However, after turning around once inside, she let out a shrill, yet quiet shout after discovering the room was already occupied. She apologized profusely, and tried to leave the room, but the man inside told her to calm down, assuring her it was fine, and that she didn't have to leave.<br/><br/>After taking a moment to evaluate her choices, Mirela decided one person was hardly as terrifying as hundreds. Taking a seat, she looked at the man, who she could see in detail, and who, by the looks of it, saw her in detail, as well. Immediately, he stood up and apologized.<br/><br/>“I'm sorry, princess! I didn't recognize who you were, otherwise I wouldn't have been so informal!” With a bow, the man stood, and walked to the door, leaving immediately, not wanting to be alone in the room with the princess, most likely fearing what kind of assumptions would be made.<br/><br/>This made the smile that had begun to form on the princess' face to fade, as she sat alone in the dark, waiting for the sound outside to die out. It was then that the door opened once again, revealing her mother in the doorway. Entering the room, and locking the door behind her, the queen approached the princess, and sat down, gently resting a hand on her back.<br/><br/>“Are you okay, dear? You didn't have another attack, did you?”<br/><br/>The princess didn't answer verbally, and only shook her head.<br/><br/>“That's good.” The queen said, taking a seat. “Oh, I know you hate these events dear, and I'm sorry that your father makes you take part... I just don't think he understands.”<br/><br/>“... you think?” the princess mumbled, prompting a small laugh from her mother.<br/><br/>“You know how he is. I'm sure he doesn't mean to hurt you. He just thinks that exposing you will help you with your shyness, that's all.”<br/><br/>“It's not shyness.” The princess replied quickly, barely letting her mother finish first. “The doctors said so too, you know that. They said there's something wrong with me, with my brain.”<br/><br/>Angered now, the queen stood. “And I told you that they don't know what they are talking about. Your grandmother was the same way, and they never told her anything was wrong with her. She was just quiet and shy, the same as you.”<br/><br/>Knowing her mother wouldn't agree, the princess surrender. “Yeah, I know mom. You're right.”<br/><br/>Nodding, the queen smiled down at her daughter. “Thank you. There really is nothing wrong, I promise you. Now, I need to head back out there, okay? You can stay in here, join me, or excuse yourself, and head back to your room, alright?”<br/><br/>Nodding, the princess stood. “I think I'll go back to my room. I'll say I wasn't feeling well. Please tell daddy I accidentally ate salmon again.”<br/><br/>“Of course.” the queen said, opening the door for her daughter, before following her out. Just as they exited, a new song started to play, and a man with jet black hair and tanned skin approached the queen, and asked for a dance. Smiling at her daughter one last time, the queen accepted, and was swept onto the dance floor, while the princess retreated up the staircase, to her room.<br/><br/>A few songs later, the door the king and prince entered swung open, and the prince walked out looking deadbeat tired. After a quick scan of the room, he located who he was looking for, and briskly walked to her, only stopping to thank people, per his fathers orders.<br/><br/>Upon finally reaching Adriana, Ferdinand grabbed her hand and, after giving a quick glance around searching for his father, he led her out of the ballroom, and into the back garden, where they sat down under the stars. After ensuring that nobody was around to see them, the two locked in a tight embrace before kissing under the moonlight. When Ferdinand pulled away to speak, he was quickly pulled back into another kiss by his girlfriend, and just decided to go with it.<br/><br/>After almost fifteen minutes of this, the prince finally was able to speak.<br/><br/>“Adriana, we need to talk.” He said, looking a bit worried. “As you know, I'm getting shipped off to the military base soon for training, per fathers orders. I really don't know how soon I will be able to see you after that, considering I haven't been able to see you for three months already, and that's just because of normal business. So... I want to make our time tonight matter, don't you.”<br/><br/>It took her a moment, but it seemed like Adriana finally caught on, as she agreed with a rapid nod.<br/><br/>Smiling, the prince took her hand, and stood up while helping her to her feet, as well.<br/><br/>“In that case, what do you say we ditch this party, and find somewhere where we can be alone.”<br/><br/>“But... won't your dad kill you?” Adriana asked.<br/><br/>“I'm sure he will. But it'll be worth it. Not to mention, I'm only stuck with him for another month. Then I'm free.”<br/><br/>After thinking briefly, though most likely caught up in the moment, Adriana agreed, and let the prince take the lead. Laughing, the two ran off into the night, not to be seen by anyone until the following day, very, very much to the anger of Vlad, especially when it came time for the prince to give a speech, and him being nowhere to be found, leading to the formation of the rumour that Vlad, in anger at his son, bent a trumpet in half, before storming out to search for his son."
22012,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-05-22 05:33:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Kalachinsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>By now, the bitter almost sulfuric smell of cordite hung in the air of the tank as it lumbered idle. The residual fog of the main gun loomed encased in its armored environment, dancing in thin silky threads. The beams of weak sunlight from outside dripped through the windows, filtered on the hazy residue of weapon's fire. The smoky, golden glow of the sun was like honey. Honey that stung the eyes and irritated the throat.<br/><br/>The fumes were made no worse by the grumbling engine that still let out thin suggestions of exhaust into the tank cabin. With his head hanging in the turret shell, Hui couldn't imagine the extreme smell of the buoyant smells. But he could sympathize with the experiences of Tsung. The poor youth had to drunk a stomach full, and like wise evicted it by now. The smell was strong for Hui, but it could only be worse for him.<br/><br/>“All teams, do we have fixes on hostiles. We are at the objective.” Song said as he yelled into the microphone. Everyone's ears no doubt sung with the soft subtle lament of the gun. “This is Juunshi Sun Song, over.”<br/><br/>There was no immediate response, as the commander sat diligent and silent in his seat.<br/><br/>“Anything moving?” Wi Hui asked as he leaned across the gun to Lin, the gunner. The action and pipes of the guns throbbed with a low irradiating heat. A heat that slowly bubbled through Hui's muscled arms. But it was nothing that he was concerned about. It was hot, yes. But not as scalding as it could be.<br/><br/>Tse Lin leaned forward into her para-scope as she gently turned the dials on the main targeting. The turret slowly spun to the turns of her fingers. Stopping and starting as she saw fit. Sun Song swayed to the movement above as he looked over the landscape just outside, waiting on a response.<br/><br/>“This place has seen better days.” she said distantly, biting her tongue between her teeth, “But no one moving but our guys, so far.”<br/><br/>“So far?” Hui snickered, “So what, everyone else is just laying low?”<br/><br/>“They look like they're running building sweeps, so we'll see.” Lin sighed, “If I have to shoot down a wall then we know.”<br/><br/>Hui groaned, as he threw himself back against the side of the turret hull, throwing his arm over the auxiliary targeting. Sighing tired he rose his hands to his face and gently messaged his eyes. Above him, Sun Song made another request for an update, apparently having not gotten an answer that satisfied him.<br/><br/>Leaning on the metal targeting computer, Lin picked himself up as he climbed to peek through the array of windows that crowned the top of the turret. Balancing himself on the seat he held onto the side as he looked out. Out of bored curiosity, what was left of morbid curiosity had taken a ride out. He was simply growing bored.<br/><br/>Kalachinsk was, as Lin put it, something that had been in better days. The wears of time and the combination of misfortunes that had befell Russia and it being a battleground had blurred and faded together into a singular identity. The wreckage of automobiles, burned out buildings, and mortar craters dotting the road (or simple potholes from so many winters of being ignored, it was hard to say) covered the urban landscape. Grey smoke rose from homes in thick columns that caught the wind and spread out through the spring skies on low winds. The veil of smoke grayed the light and dimmed the atmosphere as roaming, muddied soldiers picked through the rubble or went from door to door checking through homes and store fronts.<br/><br/>But just by watching them Hui could tell they did their job with the sort of tired, spectral quality of existing that was so common across Russia. Even the Republican soldiers that had been lined up, captives of their injuries looked twice as tired as they were bloodied. The color sapped from their skin, they only had dust and soot to add the color to their complexion. They looked half-fed, or just pissed scared as they looked on the great metal behemoths that gathered around them, they to scanning across the neighboring buildings as they enclosed the street, surrounding a center position in the town.<br/><br/>Behind them, standing in a state of disrepair and at the far end of a small, crater-rocked plaza of concrete tiles was the brick and wood town hall, of the former Imperial Magistrate's building. It's formerly Victorian surface scarred and pitted with bullet holes and inky-black roses of scorch marks that framed the shattered, toothy windows. Pink and yellow paint peeled back from the walls, as by the door a broken wooden sign had been cast aside. Once a crown for a door that proudly boasted the words, “Kalachinsk Municipal Magistrate” in thick, proud, boastful Russian cryllic.<br/><br/>Broken men sat around the entrance. The blood on their faces and scars on their hands brought to breath the severity of their state. In their tattered uniforms, and jury rigged weapons there was no contest that these were the men that they had to come to rescue. Their blackened, distant eyes starred down into their boots, or high into the sky above as their comrades hovered around them, or went from soldier to soldier like moths to a light. Reaching down, showing their camaraderie and giving comfort.<br/><br/>“Thank you comrades.” Sun Song said abruptly, “We will await the arrival of the rest of the column. We would also request immediate medical personnel to the point as well, we have wounded and quick evac of the injured would be good. Sun Song out.”<br/><br/>“So we're digging in here?” Hui asked, as he looked out at the liberated Siberians huddled in the burned and broken bushes of their former castle.<br/><br/>“The rest of the unit will be closing in on this point.” Sun Song said, “We're holding the center here, the rest will look into an armored parameter. A few groups will run out deeper into the ground between here and Omsk. There's a few helicopters en-route from Novosibirsk.”<br/><br/>“Good on them.” Hui nodded. His throat felt dry and it scratched when he spoke, “Can we kill the engine, and open a hatch then?”<br/><br/>“I suppose so.” Song smiled, “Tsun, kill the engine!” he shouted. With a abrupt final gurgle the diesal engine gave a fitful 'pfut' and died silent, replaced by a slow a steady clicking as the metal began to cool. The soft whine of the turret hatch followed, and cool air washed down into the cabin with a relieved sigh.<br/><br/>“I still can't see how you can find anything through these.” Hui chuckled, “They're so small, it's no wonder you haven't rode out with the hatch open.”<br/><br/>“I'm not mad is why.” Song smiled, “Though I can say I haven't been tempted.”<br/><br/>“Don't try to make yourself to be a badder ass than you are.” sneered Hui, holding back from laughing. His commander didn't, and he let it out with a dry tired wheeze. His voice sounded strained and sore. Everyone needed a drink.<br/><br/>Dry coughing echoed from below as Hui hung there, looking out at the smoky city outside. Bodies were beginning to be pulled out from the buildings, laid out for the survivors to pick through and pull what they could off their fallen foes, or allies. But the grave looting that went on outside wasn't of much interest as the whistle of the driver's hatch opened through the still, smoky din of the vehicle.<br/><br/>Turning to the front, Hui saw Tsun crawl out through the front hatch in the corner of one of the circling viewing port. His young face pale and stiff as he pulled himself from his corner, leaning over the side. His black hair a thicker black as it clung sticky to his scalp. Beads of sweat dripped from down his face.<br/><br/>Hui felt quick concern for the new guy. He could imagine what he was feeling. Straightening himself out, he reached up and pulled himself through the turret of the tank, and into the cool Russian air outside.<br/><br/>“Did I give you permission to leave?” Song asked weakly. It wasn't as authoritative enough to be an order, so Hui wasn't concerned as he threw himself down onto the hull with a dull thump.<br/><br/>“If there's snipers they'd want you more than me.” Hui added, as he knelt on the outside, crawling across the metal hull to where Tsung leaned over the corner.<br/><br/>“I suppose you got a point.” he heard his commander remark, tinny and hollow from behind him.<br/><br/>Tsun didn't seem to notice as Hui slid up alongside him. The young man was too busy leaning over the side. His shoulders and body shook weakly in the cold air under his uniform. “You need a cigarette?” Hui asked, seating himself at the driver's side as he looked down at him.<br/><br/>Tsun looked up weakly at him. His deep brown eyes scanning up and down Hui distantly. Pursing his thin lips he shook his head. “Uh, I-uh. N-no. No thank you.” he said dryly, croaking, “I-I don't smoke.”<br/><br/>“You doing alright?” Hui asked concerned. He leaned over his knees, getting a clearer view at the shivering man at the nose of their tank.<br/><br/>“I-” was the only think he could manage out. He shook his head as he lay it on the cold steel.<br/><br/>“Hey, I know it's tough.” Hui said, trying to council him.<br/><br/>“I j-jus-st need to take a breath, is all...” Tsung said, slipping over his words in an effort to speak, “I just need to breath.”<br/><br/>“I guess that's commendable.” Hui said. Lifting himself up as he reached into his back pocket. In his hands he produced a wrinkled and flattened back of cigarettes, red and unmarked as usual. Pulling a battered and broken one in his mouth he looked over the battle field, “Welcome to the service. Welcome to the damned service.”"

Javor mind went a bit into overdrive. He began thinking about what would happen to his family if he did not return from this war alive.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">What if I die on the field? Who will care for my family then?</span>"" thought Javor to himself. He looked at the men who were with him, he recognized a few from work, but there were some he had never even seen before. They had probably come from another ""factory"" within Belgrade. They all had there heads hung low, knowing that a lot of them would not return.<br/><br/>The drive seemed to take hours. Through the entire time Javor kept on thinking about his family. How they must feel at this time, his wife without her dear husband, his children without there caring father. Agony was the only way to describe how Javor felt, knowing that he might never get to see his precious family again. Javor knew that there was only one thing worth fighting for, and that was family and friends.<br/><br/>A officer of some sort passed by, handing each a soldier a old partially rusted canteen and a toothbrush. He told everyone in in that authortive voice that was typical of military personnel that if you lost it you wouldn't be getting another one of either if you lost them. Javer took his and shook around a bit, making the water inside the canteen slosh around.<br/><br/>His throat felt drier then the desert, so he took a sip quite quickly. It felt odd going down his throat, as a conquesence of everything that was happening to him right now. Javer looked at the toothbrush and saw that it was just a standard one, white with green and white bristles. He slipped into his pocket and contunied waiting to arrive at the base.<br/><br/>The truck jerked to a halt, knocking everyone and there canteens around a bit. Javer was one of the first to step out and observe the base. It was surrounded by a chainlink fence and had a tower at each corner, which each carried a guard armed with a rifle. There was a set of several barracks that were a very dark green. Nearbye was what Javer supposed was the base's mess hall, since several soldiers were peeling potatos right next to the building.<br/><br/>The new recruits, including Javer, were rushed inside the complex. They were dragged into a set of buildings. The first building had several tables were recruits were already get shaved, only leaving a small amnount of hair left on there heads. Javer took his turn, and heard the wirr of the razor as it lopped off most of his long hair. He followed the line of the now shaved recruits where they were being handed a camo military uniform and told to head into a dressing room and strip down, replacing there old clothes with the uniforms they were just handed. Javor did so and stepped out of the room, throwing his clothes into a near by bag, making sure to remove his preicous toothbrush from them first. He took his first chance to really smell the air of the rooms, smelling of really dirty clothes and a undiscernable smell coming off the bags of hair.<br/><br/>He stepped into the courtyard as he was told by a officer that had been following the recruits the whole way. The courtyard was a entirely dirt field, with the exception of a small trakc near by where several soldiers were already running laps. The courtyard smelled of sweat and BO, and was more violent then Javer had ever smelled before. It took all his strength to prevent himself from gagging at it.<br/><br/>Once they had all lined up the immdeitaly put them there noses to the grindstone. Excerise was conducted, bring the recruits in to sweating aching messses of people. After a painful few laps on the track they were all taken to the barracks.<br/><br/>The inside of the barracks smelled pretty much the same as the yard, of BO and sweat, but to a much lesser extent, which Javor was thanking for. They were each assigned a bed in the low light barrack, which hummed like a generator.<br/><br/>They were finally taken to the Mess Hall which smelled of old food and just a tinsy bit of rot. Javor grabbed his tray, being hungry after the events of the day. It was to say, crap. It was some watery soup was a hard hunk of bread and a small piece of what Javor guessed was ham, but with the rest of the meal being the way it was Javor guessed wasn't probably high quality or ham at all. <br/><br/>He finished the meal, making his stomach very unpleasant. He washed it all down with water, and hurried to the barracks. He layed down on his bunk, stripping down into boxers and a tank top that had been provided with there uniform. He was told before the lights were flipped off that they had two weeks here, then they would be rushed off to see combat. Javor began thinking to himself how long this was going to be, and quickly feel into a deep sleep.<br/><br/>//This post is considered non-canonical</div>"
22014,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-05-30 19:54:00,TheEvanCat,"<b>Yerevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>Sunshine was something that seemed to be in abundance recently - a clear patch of weather had arrived over the Armenian Highlands and had made for about a week of beautiful, warm Spring days. President Assanian had been taking advantage of it by reading on his apartment's balcony overlooking the flowing Hrazdan River running through the center of the city. At the office, his windows were open to let the warm breeze in while he worked on the various things that postwar Armenia needed. Every day, his desk was filled with reports on the economy, the infrastructure, the population. A census had been authorized about a week ago to begin conducting surveys of the country and a Census Agency was established under the Ministry of the Interior in an empty office building just blocks away from Republican Square. They would be heading out in the summer to every corner of the country to gather data on the citizens. It made Assanian and his Ministers giddy, in fact: they were enough of a ""real country"" to have a census and a complex economy. The Ministry of the Economy was growing as well with analysts and planners to help collect data on the economic situation of Armenia that had long been hypothesized to be improving. The revolution had taken them out of the draconian economic policies of the Ottomans and had allowed the government to develop key critical infrastructures and industries before auctioning them off to civilian companies. The economic experts - some of them secretly sent from Polish and Persian government agencies - worked out trade deals and courses of action to support a healthy economy. Policies would need to be enacted in the future, of course.<br/><br/>However, Assanian was trying to release government control and decided early on that he would send the laws through Parliament to be voted on. His immense wartime authority was to be slowly eased out of in a series of democratic reforms. But that would come later, like his specific laws. For now, Assanian had to meet with the director of the National Recovery Agency to deal with the situation of building the critical infrastructure to allow growth across the country. Building and repairing roads, railroads, pipelines, power grids, and sources of energy were on the agenda today. Another stark difference from Assanian's role as a wartime leader was his new insistence on creating instead of destroying. The development of Armenia would go on like he promised, while the immediate foreign threats had been diminished. It wasn't a glamorous part of his job: it was boring meetings instead of valiant hours in the war room planning and thinking and preparing with the General Officers doing the same. Instead, Assanian was to be drinking some sort of alcoholic beverage - lightly, of course - while his windows were open to let the pleasant warmth in. There wasn't even a breeze to chill things. It was probably the best weather that Assanian had felt in months. A pleasant day for a pleasant meeting: they were about to turn swords into plowshares.<br/><br/>The NRA director arrived precisely five minutes early, knocking on the door to be let in by an Army guard in his green service uniform. The director - his name was Aram Terzian - had combed-back black hair and a nose that dominated his dark face, all while he wore cream khakis and a blue blazer. A lapel pin bearing the Army Engineer Corps logo was pinned to his collar, reflecting his prior military service as an engineering officer who had defected from the Turkish military in 1977. There was no tie either, his shirt unbuttoned at the top in blatant defiance of formal dress. As he closed the door behind him, Terzian apologized: ""I had just gotten back from a breakfast with my wife's family, sir. Couldn't find the time to change into something more fitting, you see. Sorry about the casual apparel.""<br/><br/>Assanian shook his head. ""It's not a problem, director. In fact, I appreciate it. Do you know how hard it is to tell people apart when they all dress in the same way? Black suit, red tie! Who the hell is who?""<br/><br/>""Is that the explanation for your dress, Mister President?"" Terzian joked. Assanian looked down at his purple tie and inspected it with his left hand.<br/><br/>""I'm the President,"" Assanian answered. ""I can do whatever I want, so I decided to get a purple tie.""<br/><br/>""That's great!"" replied Terzian with a chuckle. ""I hate to get dressy, myself. All of those suits are expensive and they're uncomfortable. They're too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer, and they stiffen you up like a statue. If I can't bend my arm in a suit to pick up something, why bother?""<br/><br/>""Well, you have to look professional. The public likes that, but they also like it when you're casual. Professional on the job, but friendly and down-to-Earth when you're not. Anyways, would you care for a drink?""<br/><br/>""Sure. What do you have?"" asked Terzian as Assanian handed him a glass. He clinked it down onto the table and withdrew bottles of various beverages from the cabinet. Terzian picked his choice - clear vodka - and poured it before placing the bottle back onto the desk. The two toasted to the country before downing them. Upon putting downing their glasses, the two men immediately set them down and smoothed out ruffles in their clothing. With the niceties exchanged, it was time to get to business. Terzian had with him a leather briefcase that contained several documents: maps, diagrams, plans, spreadsheets. A look at the macroeconomic infrastructure of Armenia. Anything that was to be administered by the government like highways and railways and pipelines were to be built by Terzian's NRA.<br/><br/>""So, Mister President, I assume that we're eager to finish up this meeting. I've been stuck in a lot of these and I can tell you that they're not very fun,"" joked the director as he wiped his nose with a handkerchief.<br/><br/>""It's fine. It takes as long as it takes. So what do you have for me, Mister Terzian?""<br/><br/>The director hoisted his briefcase to the desk and set it down, opening the brass latches. The case creaked open as Terzian rooted around inside for what would begin to be the plans for a highway system. After a minute, he found them buried at the bottom. Almost a half-dozen maps alone, accompanied by a list of existing roads - further subdivided into roads that needed repair or enlargement and roads that were fine - and roads that would need to be built. Data such as length, quality, width, capacity, terrain, and accessibility accompanied each road. By the roads that were needed to be built, an estimated construction time was listed. Assanian looked over at the documents as Terzian withdrew them: an individual report for manpower was beside the pile of maps and data. At the bottom, there was the pricetag for each variant of the highway system.<br/><br/>""So what we have here, Mister President, are some plans drawn up by our engineers and architects at the NRA,"" began Terzian as he slid the folders over to Assanian. The President eyed the numbered packets and scratched the back of his head before looking back up at the director in front of him. ""Several different variants of the plan have been proposed based on cost, construction time, predicted use, and other variables. As you can see, each folder has a map with the data on it. However, last year we asked the military for their advice at what would be considered the most essential roadways and infrastructure in a unified Greater Armenia. Their results were given to us and named the Konstantou Map after the Colonel who wrote the report. These are considered good bases for the blueprints for our highway system. Essential for national defense. The Konstantou Map has been stapled to every folder on the back to provide a comparison.""<br/><br/>Terzian took a map out of a folder to show as an example: each road was highlighted in a different color on a blue-to-red scheme to show predicted traffic and usage, with red being the most busy. Busier roads would be given more priority in construction and were going to have to be finished earlier than the less important roads. ""Now, with respect, I understand that you didn't go to engineering school,"" the NRA director said cautiously.<br/><br/>""You're right. I have no idea what the hell any of this means,"" agreed Assanian with a humorous twinkle in his eye. Terzian let out a small breath of relief that his statement hadn't offended the most important man in the country.<br/><br/>""Well, all of this data culminated into our list of suggestions based on all of these factors. The data is here for you to review when you make your decision. We have a suggestion for each public works project as well. Basically, we ranked all of the available plans based on their different attributes and assigned an overall score. Once again, it's entirely up to you and whatever advisers you choose to consult.""<br/><br/>Terzian slid the folders over to Assanian's side of the desk and reached down to his briefcase for the other projects.<br/><br/>""And I'm guessing you have everything for the others?"" Assanian concluded as he eyed the director.<br/><br/>Terzian nodded, revealing even more of the identical manilla folders. They all bore the project number and a brief title in the same black lettering. He placed them alongside the highway blueprints and leaned back into his chair before launching into an explanation. ""Same thing, Mister President. We have one for pipelines, ports, airports, railways, factories, and pretty much anything else you can think of. We've spent three years developing the plans in our Agency. They've been tweaked and ironed out by engineers, economists, and other assorted experts. Many of them are from our foreign friends. We've also been readying our workforce to begin construction on these new projects. I'm sure you know this but last week, for example, Parliament approved your request to send more funds our way out of the War Ministry's budget. Advertisement and educational projects have stirred up some interest in the NRA's employment opportunities... we have an opportunity to put many of our unemployed craftsmen and workers to a steady, safe job with these reforms. It's going to cost a hell of a lot of money, but it'll pay off in the long run. I don't believe that we need to take out extreme loans for this, nor do I believe that we're in any danger of defaulting on them. At least, not yet. We just have to manage this properly.""<br/><br/>""Thank you, Director,"" Assanian said calmly, smiling. He shuffled the folders into one giant stack before putting them in a rack on his desk - he'd have to make copies of them for his cabinet.<br/><br/>""And we have the framework to manage this, correct?""<br/><br/>""We've been steadily developing a system to facilitate these works for the past few years. Military leaders - particularly engineers - are in high demand because they can operate in environments like these. It's been a swords-into-plowshares kind of thing as we seek to give veterans a place to use their organizational skills. And, of course, we have no shortage of a patriotic population willing to actually perform the labor. In fact, many of our managers are conscientious objectors who have acquired experience and have been trained to plan and manage.""<br/><br/>""Wonderful,"" Assanian beamed. ""I see that the funds to you are working out.""<br/><br/>""I'd hope so, Mister President. I've heard rumors that you plan on equalizing the budget between the War Ministry and us a bit more?""<br/><br/>""My plan,"" Assanian explained, ""is to take money used by the military to do similar things and vest it in NRA - civilian - control. Engineers built their road through the western deserts, so it's your turn to work on it. With the Turks routed and effectively ruined, I don't foresee a major conflict in the near future.""<br/><br/>""What about Georgia?""<br/><br/>""You know about Georgia?""<br/><br/>""My wife's cousin is Georgian, sir,"" the director pointed out while frowning slightly. ""After we left Poti the country's been a mess. Someone has to clean it up and, from what I've heard, there have been raids on the warlords in the south and there have been some republican groups starting to rumble.""<br/><br/>Assanian smiled and shook his head. ""Georgia is complicated,"" he replied in a typical politician's tone. ""I can't discuss specifics as of yet. But if we were to intervene I could assure you that existing forces would be more than enough to handle it. There would be no cuts to the NRA's budget to support another war as grand as the one we just got out of. I can assure you, Director Terzian, that Georgia is not a problem that you should be particularly concerned about.""<br/><br/>""Sounds good, sir,"" Terzian agreed while nodding. ""I don't want any more wars. I need the people getting out for the NRA's projects. Their three year enlistment periods should be expiring very soon. It's almost our third anniversary of independence in August.""<br/><br/>""When their enlistment periods expire, you can have them if they don't reenlist!"" Assanian said with a joking nudge. ""We'll have to bring in a new batch of conscripts.""<br/><br/>""Do you think that you can modify the conscription system?"" asked Terzian meekly after a moment's hesitation.<br/><br/>""What?"" came the bewildered reply. It was a change in the conversation that almost gave the President whiplash.<br/><br/>""To allow for certain people - not necessarily just conscientious objectors - to come in to the NRA instead of the military. Just think of it: it's still a patriotic program that's helping the state as much as military service,"" Director Terzian argued. Then he added: ""Swords into plowshares.""<br/><br/>Assanian leaned back into his chair and looked at the ceiling. What Terzian was saying was true, but the legislation would need to be pushed through Parliament. Would Parliament agree with a modification to the existing conscription rules? After all, many of them were veterans. Would they see the value in a civilian job, or would they deny the legislation on the grounds that the civilian service option being extended to able-bodied and able-minded men was going to put the Armed Forces of Armenia at a serious disadvantage? Any sane person would choose building roads over the military. Perhaps there needed to be some sort of quota for each: a compromise that would be much easier to sell than the straight option that Terzian proposed. Assanian returned to the real world after musing for a few seconds, and told Terzian that it was a possibility. As long as it could get through Parliament without issue, the law wouldn't be a problem with himself.<br/><br/>""Why send it through Parliament?"" Terzian replied suddenly. ""You still have emergency powers.""<br/><br/>""Technically,"" Assanian noted. ""The war is over. I have to give them up. I believe that I don't want any bad publicity trying to keep them. At this point, Armenia needs a stable government. If I come across as too power-hungry, people will lose their will. We must have them know that they are being led by a just, competent government. So the democratic advances I propose include pushing legislation through Parliament.""<br/><br/>""Well, I guess that works,"" conceded Terzian with another nod. ""Depending on what plans that you end up picking, we're going to need a lot of labor. But I believe that this is good for the economy, of course. I firmly believe that if you put money into the economy, you get a return on your investment.""<br/><br/>""Of course,"" Assanian agreed with a shrug. ""You pay workers, give them jobs, and they can buy the goods that are produced now.""<br/><br/>""Basically. And that money goes to producing more goods that are consumed. It's just a matter of getting that circle started. Of course, it's a very delicate business. We need to be very careful in our handling of this. Particularly with my area of responsibility: the infrastructure. Economies depend on this. They depend on the ability to produce the goods and transport them for sale. Governments depend on the taxes from this infrastructure. It's the base for everything else. In my opinion, this is the most crucial step. You're intelligent, Mister President: I know that you'll make the right decision. I myself know that the Ministry of the Economy is working day and night to develop policy that your administration will put into place. But your policies here will be crucial for the others to succeed. And so with that I give you the blueprints and urge you to make your decision quickly. When's your next cabinet meeting?""<br/><br/>""I can assemble them quickly enough,"" Assanian replied with a quick glance over to the small black telephone at the corner of his desk, next to a smoldering ashtray and a half-empty bottle of liquor.<br/><br/>""You handled the war excellently, sir. Now we need to handle the peace,"" Terzian continued, slipping into some sort of lecture as he went more and more off the topic of the meeting. ""It's harder in many cases. There is no enemy, but somehow everything is trying to disable you. You can only build, and you cannot destroy that which is threatening you. You are building that wall and can only build it thick enough so that nothing can hurt you. You cannot simply strike back and not need a wall at all, as what would be the easiest option. It is far easier to strike at someone than to endure and harden against their blows for a lifetime. This is what's hard for us veterans to understand. We want to seek out a black-and-white enemy and destroy it. We want to maintain an offensive where our base values are in no danger: we want the fight to be far away from our core, and when it is we can become comfortable and relaxed. Our cities are not being bombed, our civilians are not dying. We have pushed the fight far away. Yet keeping the peace requires a constant struggle to keep balance between conflicting people who also happen to be the same ones you need to protect. It is a constant struggle against outside, intangible forces that one cannot eliminate. We cannot push them far away. We can only harden ourselves against it and take measures to keep our balance, lest these forces knock us off our dainty pedestal and ruin us. We could easily turn into another Russia, another Georgia if we don't plan and execute this correctly. This is what I think makes peace a thousand times more difficult. But it is rewarding, for when you look outside and you see your country thrive, there is no better feeling. And with that, Mister President, I believe we are finished here.""<br/><br/>They shook hands shortly thereafter before Terzian left. After the door was shut, Assanian turned back to his desk and the open windows behind it letting in the sunlight. The most crucial part of the reconstruction. The plans - the keys for the future - were sitting on his desk. It was all a matter of choosing the right ones. But he had to ponder Terzian's closing remarks: peace was harder than war, and would require constant upkeep. He went for another drink in the bottle next to the telephone before heading to his bookshelf to read. The plans would wait for tomorrow, when he would call a cabinet meeting in the afternoon. By the end of the week, he'd make his case before Parliament. The NRA was geared and ready to go. It was his approval they needed. They were one step closer to their goals."

The sun had just started to come up, and the fog had rolled in from the south and encompassed the streets of the third most populous city in all of Australia. General Barton McBride watched the sunrise from one of the taller skyscrapers in the city. The city was already starting to wake up, and the early morning traffic was beginning to form down below. McBride felt a light tap on his shoulder, and a sigh found itself escaping his mouth. The General spun around in his swivel chair and turned back towards his desk. To Barton’s left stood his personal secretary, Miss Taylor White. She had the same patient look she always did on her face. Barton raised his coffee mug up to his round, cleanly shaven face and took a sip.”Yes, Miss White?” Barton asked, his voice rather agitated. What did she need at this hour? The general had only just arrived a few minutes ago and started his morning routine.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry to bother you sir, I know you like to be alone around now, but it’s urgent. Doctor Andrews is waiting outside. He says he has something you need to see. I asked what it was, but he said it was classified.” The small, dark skinned secretary explained.”Let the doctor in.” McBride answered a solemn look crossing over his face. Doctor Andrews was the head of Project Steel Cobras.<br/><br/>Andrews watched in, bowing his head and muttering a thank you to Miss White as she left the room simultaneously. Andrews was bald, and looked to be Indian. He always avoided telling if he was native to India or not. Barton didn’t exactly trust the man, but Andrews kept tight lipped about the project. Or so Barton’s man who had been following Andrews informed the general.<br/><br/>“I have the recording, as well as the results, of the Steel Cobras’ first field test.” Andrews said. The two men shook hands before taking their seats.”Show me, then.” The general put a hand through his white, thinning hair. The fact that he still had hair frankly amazed McBride’s wife.<br/><br/>The doctor nodded, holding up a file filled with papers. He tossed it across the desk, and it landed with a quiet thud in front of the general. Barton put a pair of reading glasses on and opened the folder. He began to read.<br/><br/><b>///Project: STEEL COBRAS///<br/><br/>MISSION DESIGNATION: GEARM174-62<br/><br/>STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT – PHASE III; FIRST FIELD TEST </b><br/>The night sky shown brightly with the light of thousands of stars; the moon was beginning to come into view over the top of a mountain range. The deep rumbling of a small convoy of three armored vehicles echoed over the vast desert that surrounded the lone road the vehicles travelled on. A grouping of lights could be seen up ahead in the desert sands. Inside the lead vehicle, the eight commandos belonging to Dagger squad were filled with anticipation, as their first combat mission was about to begin.<br/><br/>“…And that’s when I smashed a beer bottle into his face!” The large African-Australian said in his booming voice, before bursting out into hardy laughter. The other five men in the back of the AATV-24 (Australian equivalent to a BTR-40) joined in, and the noise of the engine was drowned out by their laughter.”When are you ever going to stop getting into trouble, Hercules?” A wiry-built Caucasian next to Hercules asked with a grin on his voice.”The next time you hit up a gym, Odysseus, I’ll think about it.” Hercules responded.”You could just say never and give the guy a break.” A golden haired, blue eyed, well-built commando jested.”Don’t you have some make-up to put on, Pretty boy?” Hercules said.”It’s Perseus to you, bud. Only the ladies can call me that.”<br/><br/>A dark haired, fair skinned soldier who had thus far been rather quiet scoffed.”These codenames are ridiculous. Why can’t we just use our real names?” The man next to him nudged him with his elbow.”Come on. You’re the only one with a normal name here, Jason. What kind of name is Cadmus? I’ve never even heard of the guy.” Cadmus fixed his helmet over his graying black hair, snapping it back on. Meanwhile Orpheus, the youngest of the commandos, was busy fiddling with his StG 58 (IRL Australian weapon based on FN FAL), checking over its firing mechanism multiple times.”What’s wrong, Orpheus? Scared?” Hercules mocked the younger soldier.”No. I’m making sure my weapon works. I’d tell you to, but your accuracy score was so low it’d be a waste of time.” Orpheus snapped back, grinning.”You scored double the second best shot in Australia. Everyone’s score is low compared to yours.” Cadmus reminded.<br/><br/>“Heads up, boys. We’re getting close. You know the plan, but I’ll go over it again, because I know you’ll all want to start shooting the minute we get out there: These rebels think we’re here to escort the diplomat who’s suppose to be bringing them an amnesty. Heh, fat chance. We’re going to start shooting once we get into the middle of their compound. Let Commander Achilles give the order before you fire, alright?” A woman’s voice from the front of the vehicle interrupted the commandos and their antics.”You got it, Sub-commander.” “Sure thing, Atalanta.” “Anybody see my magazine? I dropped it..”<br/><br/>“Get on that turret, Atalanta.” The gruff voice of the commander ordered. Achilles scratched the large scar that went across his throat as he drove the WATV-24 into the enemy camp. Atalanta did as she was told, and stood up in the turret, taking hold of the .50 cal. The convoy came to a stop, right in the middle of the camp. They positioned the vehicles so that it looked as if they would be leaving the armored transports and entering the command tent immediately behind them.”This is Commander Achilles. Begin departure. Vehicles are to provide covering fire.” Immediately, the three .50 caliber guns from the transports started to light up onlookers and guards alike. A siren started to go off as the troops filed out of their transports and split into their respective fireteams.<br/><br/>Hercules was the first out of the front vehicle, heaving a AMG-30 (Similar to the M60, but made locally) onto his hip and firing bursts into any rebels who came out of hiding. Right behind him was Cadmus, holding a ballistic shield and a ASM-2 (Australian made SMG, similar to the IRL MP series). The rest of the squad quickly formed up behind them, except for Atalanta, who was going to stay on the gun turret for the duration of the mission. The team began it’s sweep..<br/><br/><b> A few miles to the south of Canberra, Australia </b><br/><br/>The Governor-General’s mansion was usually a quiet place. This was where the Chapman family lived, and it was a peaceful existence most days. But today was not most days. Mark sat in his office, along with thirty or so politically influential members of the Australian government. Oh, and the news crews occupied their own portion of the room too. Mark was seated at his desk, his eyes darting over the letter again and again. He couldn’t contain the joy on his face. He’d finally get the chance to visit London, after all these years. He was the only one in the room with the luxury of sitting. Everyone else had to stand.<br/><br/>Beside the Governor-General stood Prime Minister Mary Crakenthrope, who was reading over Chapman’s shoulder. She looked just as pleased as the Governor-General. “Mister Regis, I need a paper and something to write with.” Chapman ordered. A secretary brought over a quill and a piece of paper. Chapman wrote his short reply to the invitation:<br/><br/><i> I accept your invitation, Prime Minister. I will be leaving for London as soon as physically possible.<br/><br/> Sincerely,<br/> Governor-General Mark Chapman</i><br/><br/>“Ready my car, Mister Regis. I want a private ship for my family, staff, and I ready five minutes ago. Contact Admiral Crickett, and see if you can get us an escort from the Royal Australian Navy.” The secretary nodded furiously, and ran off to do as he was told. Mark stood up, and put an arm around the Prime Minister as photos were snapped of them.”We’re making history here, Mary. Mark my words, this is our legacy.”"

He had quite a view over the Dunav River and into the Serbian countryside on his border ""guard-post"", which was a seemingly abandoned building...which was a bit unusual, since he didn't expect anyone to run through the Croatian border without being seen from kilometers away and shot down. It would have been a poor place for the Serbs to attack from; the government was getting too paranoid recently over the so-called possible Serbian surprise attack. They even hired Prussian soldiers as an extra layer of defense; not that they needed help from the damn Prussians.<br/><br/>Hrvoje, surprisingly trigger disciplined as he was, idly held onto his service rifle – the semi-automatic AP-65 (Croatian variation of the<a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL#Sturmgewehr_58""> FN FAL; bears similarity to the Austrian variant of the StG 58 </a>). The soldier next to him was in a deep sleep, his face covered with a pornographic magazine, poorly covered by a translated version of a Czech classic.<i> Damn Andrej...trying to impress others with your intellect. </i>Hrvoje thought, eyes looking through the iron sights of his rifle.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, a box radio, standing on a nearby table with a half full mug of coffee, was broadcasting, with a calm voice of a reporter speaking. ""...As Serbian armed force to begin to enclose Sarajevo, the capital of our neighboring city, President Dvornik has imposed a peacetime draft in reaction to Serbia's aggression in Bosnia. The Croatian Parliament has agreed to this conscription with a vote majority of 174-80. All men from 21 to 35 will be drafted for a year's military service and will be picked through a national lottery, and the draft will be effective within the end of the month. On a related note, Prussian has recently sent its soldiers to defend our country in the case of a Serbian attack. This action has been debated by the public. Some argue due to the unnecessary intervention of other fellow countries into problems that are not of their concern; yet others deem it essential to gain military assistance to defeat the common enemy.<br/><br/>""There is also controversy over the intervention of Serbia's invasion. One of the members of the National Assembly of the Croatian Parliament, Albin Zupan, says that 'diplomacy must be considered – we should not attempt to start a war when we are in the midst of recovery and development.' Yet another member, Lojze Vujovic, offers a different perspective, claiming that 'Croatia lacks a public identity in the eyes of Europeans; in this case, we can't always rely on the Prussians or some other country to defend our homeland. We need to take action into our own hands if we need to get things done.' Now, onto another topic, Prince Ferdinand of Romania celebrates his eighteenth birthday in the Bucharest Royal Palace...""<br/><br/>""What are you doing?"" a person said behind Hrvoje's back.<br/><br/>""Slobodan,"" Hrvoje muttered back. He remembered that person very well; Slobodan was a Croatian ""Serb"" with a relatively short stature and brown, messy hair, and an idle look on his face.<br/><br/>""Well, you heard what they're talking about recently? If you don't want to be the son of the bitch who started a war, keep your trigger finger away,"" Slobodan warned.<br/><br/>""Shut up,"" Hrvoje shot back. ""You were out having your nice little tourist trip. Get back in line."""
22017,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-06-08 19:26:00,Vilageidiotx,"<b>Ta'if, Ethiopian Hejaz</b><br/><br/>""My chauffeur announced to me that he had observed a ghost on the roadway."" Sisi said dryly. His hand was wrapped tightly around the golden head of his cane, and he wringed it as he walked. The weight of his grey-black, four thousand Spanish peseta tweed suit caused the late-spring heat to well against his skin and boil him in his own sweat. He had taken to wearing a smart pair of yellow-tinted glasses to protect himself from the Arab climate, where a brutal sun and eye-burning sandstorms were too common for a civilized man to endure.<br/><br/>""You're not listening to me..."" the Walinzi agent replied. He had been blustering on for some time, about war and public relations and a myriad of other obnoxious technicalities. He was imposing enough, in his black great coat and sunglasses dark enough to completely hide his eyes, but Sisi had spent years around his kind. The truest Walinzi agents - the warriors and geniuses - were out in the field. Most of the agents that lurked around bases like this one were paper-pushers. Sisi had little interest in him.<br/><br/>""He said it came to him in the darkness, on that wretched goat path."" Sisi continued. The 'Goat Path' was his pet name for the newly paved road that snaked through the Arabian mountains. It was such an unreasonable little path - jerking him around and making him nauseous any time he ascended toward his hidden site in the hills. Though the laboratory he had been gifted by Ras Hassan was nothing short of a godsend, the land it was tucked away in was a dusty hell. The Sarawat mountains that divided Hejaz from the rest of the Arab wastes were hardly true mountains at all. Dr. Sisi had seen the Alps of Europe and the Pyrenees of Spain. Those were true mountains. Even the highlands of Ethiopia could impress if one was in a good enough mood. The Sarawat, however, were scrubby hills knifed with rock. It was the rock that made people think they were mountains. In some places, the desert stone formed serated caps on the tops of the hills and created an illusion that would make the uneducated dream of beautiful places. In the end, it was nothing but brown.<br/><br/>""Ghosts aren't what I am talking about..."" the Walinzi agent continued to harass. Sisi responded to his gnat-like buzzing by ignoring it.<br/><br/>""The ghost was bleeding from his scalp, my good driver explained. He said this multitudinously as if I had not heard. He was bleeding from his scalp and... grasped out, with a limb outstretched, as if he was going to seize the driver out of his truck from the roadside. When his headlights reached the ghost's eyes, he saw that they were dead. That's what he told me, and I when I asked him what he meant by that, he told me that it was the same look his mother gave him when she died. It looked like whatever had once existed behind those eyes was fading into the abyss.""<br/><br/>There was a moment of silence between the two, where Sisi could hear the voices of the Ethiopian encampment mixing in the wind.<br/><br/>""That's fine."" the Walinzi agent replied. ""But we need to talk about the Spanish. If they find what we have here... if they find your research. They could tell the world we are evil while using what you've learned here to do worse.""<br/><br/>""We have done no evil here."" Sisi answered. ""Only what science has laid before us. The inevitable.""<br/><br/>If the chauffeurs ghost were to climb this mountain and float through the three layers of guarded fence unseen, it would find a small encampment that didn't look worthy of it's defenses. There were a few long tents, a mishmashed plywood and tin-panel mess hall, and a collection of aging armored vehicles covered in a fine layer of Arab dust. The constant stream of people walking across this ground had pounded the dirt into a fine powder that felt like congealed air when walked on. Outside, the desert was a sprawling dead land covered with boulders and brush. Islam had been born in these mountains. Seeing this place, it was not hard to understand why the Arabs had been so quick to conquer the world. Anything to get away.<br/><br/>The black-grey tweed of Sisi's suit jacket was covered in a patchy layer of dirt. Every few steps, Sisi brushed it off with his hands as delicately as a young woman caring for new clothes. He preferred the quarters he had in the Congo, where the last few living specimens he had be awarded during the Civil War were still held. He had nearly used them up, however, and Hassan had insisted his work stay close to the source of his subjects.<br/><br/>At the heart of the small encampment was a cement pad surrounded by locked fencing. It looked more like a house for a sewage pump that something important. It was so unimpressive that the two guards that stood at attention in front of it looked comical in comparison to their charge. Still, they took their business seriously, and they hassled him for identification despite it being plainly obvious who he was. His clothing alone concluded the terrible fact that he was the only well-dressed man on the entire wretched peninsula. It was tiring, but Sisi submitted all the same. Fumbling with a pocket in the lining of his suit, he pulled a high-priority clearance badge that marked him as a Walinzi consultant.<br/><br/>To Sisi's vast personal entertainment, the same guards harassed his Walinzi tail. Sisi tried to amble ahead, opening a rusty manhole cover and climbing down the simple cement tube ladder as awkwardly as a man carrying an expensive pure-gold tipped cane would be forced to do. He hoped to board the elevator and get lowered before the agent could finish groping his own badge. A third guard stood inside the metal cage elevator and nodded curtly as Sisi stepped on. He felt it wobble uncertainly under his feet. Sick yellow lighting filled the dank-smelling cement compartment, and a high-pitched whine - barely audible - attacked his hearing. Much to Sisi's annoyance, the Walinzi agent caught up. The guard pushed the steel-grate elevator gate closed and latched it. A red light came on above them, accompanied by a screech that sounded like the light itself had decided to scream in bored pain from it's abrupt glow. Shifting back to the corner, the guard pressed a button and held. They began to descend.<br/><br/>""My superiors affirm it."" the agent started to caw again. ""You should pack what you have here. All of the information. We can put it on file in the Walinzi offices and obfuscate the sources. Obfuscate. You know you can't use any of this as evidence for any of your work...""<br/><br/>""I know."" Sisi cut off, tapping his cane against the grated floor. It caused the entire cage to shudder lightly. They were descending slowly through the dark, cement giving way to rock, though steel girders occasionally poked through the stone.<br/><br/>""My superiors affirm it."" the agent repeated. ""The Spanish fleet is expected to reach the canal any day soon..""<br/><br/>""You're superiors..."" Sisi muttered. ""I'm your superior. I'm superior to you! You should not be pretending to instruct me on the intricacies of neural science. When it comes time, I will... perform as I must. Given these... abominable circumstances.""<br/><br/>They slipped out of the elevator shaft and into the main chamber. Even still, it had the power to take his breath away.<br/><br/>Through slave labor, they had excavated a hole deep enough to comfortably embrace the tallest skyscrapers in Madrid, and wide enough to hold a small-sized city if one discounted the urban sprawl that accompanied so many of the western population centers. It was huge, it was hard to fathom how huge it truly was until you were inside of it.<br/>From this wall there was no hope of seeing the other. The cavern was bathed in darkness, except for the lanterns that twinkled like stars along the nearest walls and on the ground below. Ventilation shafts had been constructed through the roof, but it was hardly enough. The air was thick and hot down here, so soupy that it often made Sisi feel as if he was choking. The hum of thousands of captive Arab rebels filled the expansive cavern with a soft suffering sound. There were thousands, he knew. He had files for every one, and he had explored the brainscape of many. They were his subjects, set to dig rock for no other reason but to keep them busy. If Hassan had a goal in mind for this veritable wonder of the world, Sisi had never been made aware of it.<br/><br/>The descent would have been harrowing to an individual with weaker bowels. The elevator lowered between two steel pylons, and it felt as if they were dangling precariously from a single cable. Sisi had known prisoners to react in undignified ways when first exposed to it. They screamed and moaned and cried. Some clung to guards, or to the rough metal grating of the elevator cage itself. It was also hardly uncommon for individuals to lose control of their bodies and spout a bodily substance through an orifice, whether it be digestive or waste.<br/><br/>They reached the bottom, brought to a halt by a sudden jerk followed by a soft thud. The guard opened the cage-door and Sisi exited, tapping his twice against before stepping out onto the rocky floor. Around him was the sound of clapping pick-axes and scraping shovels. Men wailed, guards shouted, and Sisi felt like Dante stepping into one of the lower rings of the Inferno. It was hot, uncomfortable, and misery played across the massive tomb in rushing waves, but Sisi could feel nothing but the excitement of discovery.<br/><br/>Guards transported lines of rag-clad prisoners - slaves, really - that had been captured and tried in military kangaroo courts as rebels. Hejaz had rebels, there was no doubt, but Sisi also had no doubt that Hassan would have anybody who as much as fed a rebel convicted if he thought it would scare a peace into the region. That was his way. Hit them where it hurts, and if they argue then hit them again. These prisoners had been hit where it hurt them more than once. Men or women, their hair had been sheared away to reveal lumpy scars running along their scalps like seams. They had been worked bloody and starved. Some looked frightened, some beaten down, and others completely dead to the world and drooling.<br/><br/>A staff car arrived to pick him up, driving him down a road that cut through the underground bedrock. It went for a mile at least, if not more, before it reached a wall where a series of white tents covered in red dust stood along the edge of the cavern. Floodlights bathed the site in in manufactured daylight, and a similar pale glow emanated from the tents themselves. With his Walinzi tail close behind him, Sisi entered his home away from home.<br/><br/>It was beautiful, white, and clean. Every table and every chair was covered in see-through plastic. The Walinzi agent ducked into a nearby room where several of his comrades were busy transcribing code and listening intently to the static babble of a radio who's wires ran along the road and up the elevator to communicate with the world above. Free of the black-clad gnat buzzing in his ear, Sisi entered his lab. He was impressed by what he saw.<br/><br/>A pair of assistance had taken it upon themselves completely remove the brain of their patient, putting it in a nearby jar. The same patient's own blood was being used to feed the jar, filling the jar's fluid with rich red and pink before removing the blood from the synthetic fluid through a filter and returning it to the patient's beating heart. Sisi knew they had tried this many a time before - and lost their patients as a result. In truth, it was a death sentence. This prisoner had likely upset the guard. Sisi had seen worse happen to men who spat at their Ethiopian watchers.<br/><br/>""Seven minutes."" one of the surgeons announced coolly as Sisi entered the room. ""Extraction took three hours, but we severed the arteries without immediate death to the patient. Our time was mostly spent severing the spine while keeping the necessary nerves untouched.""<br/><br/>""Remarkably done."" Sisi tapped. ""Has there been any noticeable paralysis?""<br/><br/>The second surgeon shrugged. ""The patient has been mostly catatonic. Whatever might be going on in their head is completely unknown to us.""<br/><br/>Sisi looked away from the bloody gore springing from the back of the head and at the patient's face. It was a she - a younger Arab woman who's face had no doubt once been attractive, but was no puffy and swollen. Her mouth hung open, her jaw limp, and her eyes were crossed. Whoever she had been, she was long gone.<br/><br/>""Whatever might be going through the patient's jar."" Sisi chuckled dryly."

It lay across the Vilage, bringing to a conclusion the events of earlier that day. Though not silencing the war as a whole, the sing-song of crickets mingled with the distant thunder of artillery fire. Aircraft droned regularly over head towards Omsk. The surreal mixture of country-side peace, and the relentless pursuit of man towards self destruction was a surreal experience. As one part of the world was too busy dying for sleep, another was closing on their last breaths of the waking hour.<br/><br/>Under the canopy of a bomb blasted roof Tsun sat staring out to Omsk. His body gripped with a distant numbness as he quivered and shook on the rickety floorboards of that abandoned attic. His knuckles gripped the edge so tight they glowed white, locked to the boards like clamps of steel. His breath sawed in and out through his lips with a strained gasp. The sounds of fighting were inescapable, and the ghosts of earlier that day had him surrounded on the inside. He felt trapped between two hells, and he felt a desperate need to get away. But to where?<br/><br/>The rattle of the Tei Gui shook still in his seat. The thunder of its main gun echoed in his ears as a distant, soft ringing found a home. It felt like mosquittos in his head, adding to the panic that filled him like a pitcher of water. Bitter water, salt water. There was nothing refreshing about the experience. It was a bloody drum that beat his skull, forcing the water down through his skull to his tongue. He tasted the bitterness of his own fear, his shame. It poured from his skin. His sweat stuck his uniform to his skin, freezing there against the cool mid-spring night. The freezing temperature only made it worse.<br/><br/>Shells thundered through the darkened abyss of the night, sending up bright flashes of fire and light, briefly silhouetting distant barren trees. The guns had arrived a few hours earlier, and entrenched themselves a mile behind the tiny Russian village. The dull thumping boomed over them, and the ghostly response of the shells responded back. Occasionally, flares would spring up from the countryside. Tsun watched from his perch, not in rapt interest, but of fear and empathy. Watching the patterns of flare vs fire, where the shells would drop as a distant star sprung from the darkness.<br/><br/>Omsk glowed with its own eerie light. The distance between him and it making the city only a electrical glow on the horizon. Or perhaps it was fire. But the smoking passes of hair-thin spotlights glowed through the fog and the clouds as the defenses scanned for aircraft. Was this like China during the Revolution? Could he even remember those days?<br/><br/>Would this be China if its enemies breached its borders?<br/><br/>The implications were haunting. Torturous over the battlefield laid out in the darkness around him. This was free murder, and for one rare moment in his life he began to cry. He fell to his side against the splintered and frayed floor boards, feeling the spines of broken wood dig into the side of his face as he shut himself off from the battle. Tears breaking the dams in his eyes and flowing with the force of a flood. He croaked and sobbed, rolling on the cold boards.<br/><br/>It didn't matter, the war drowned him out. And it charged him on. It pushed the dawning realization he had been forced into a world beyond his control and trapped all the way through. He lost time as he lay there. He sniffed and sobbed, soaking up the bitterness. He was trapped.<br/><br/>How could man be so brutal? Even his own people, how had they gone into this. He had thought so differently of war. That it was honorable somehow. But, this was something else. And he had only been in it for a day. How would he keep without going insane? How had the others?<br/><br/>“Are you quite done?” a man said indifferently. The sudden voice of an intruder froze Tsun in his position. Bitter, afraid tears still crawled down his face, but he had been caught mid-breath and he instead starred off in the distance, drawing coarse broken breath.<br/><br/>Heavy boots trod across the wood in a slow careful swagger. Tsun scrambled up, staggering to his feet as he turned to address the visitor. The cold life-less flashes of flares and artillery fire lit up the emptied room they were in, and the deep bald features of Hui. There was little empathy in his face, but no hate or condescension in his expression.<br/><br/>“I- n- Ye-” Tsun bubbled and blathered. Running his hand through his knotted hair. The weight of a horse pressed against him. Fear, anxiety, embarrassment. He didn't know what. He staggered, muttering incoherently as he tried to look for the most appropriate word to use. Nothing came out. Nothing came to mind. His speech was as his mind, a turbulent mess. “Abhayenomaybe.” he finally choked in distress.<br/><br/>“I'll take that as a maybe.” Hui said, stopping alongside him. The loader fumbled in his pockets, drawing out a red package.<br/><br/>“Cigarette?” he asked, holding out the box with a clip of a wrist. A small number of crumpled bent cigarettes poked out at him, barely illuminated in the deadened light of the moon. And only briefly brought to light in the flashes of battle.<br/><br/>“I-” Tsun started. Conflicted.<br/><br/>“Oh well.” Hui said. Retracting the pack. With a pass he returned it to his pocket, drawing one out as he returned it. With a click he held out a lighter, shielding the fire as he lit up.<br/><br/>“You did good.” Hui complimented ghostly after a long silence. Echoing explosions and gunshots punctuated the following silence as the dull ember glow of the cigarette lit up Hui's face. The distinctive stubble of an unshaven jaw shone in the fiery glow.<br/><br/>“I- thanks?” a conflicted Tsun said, “I don't know...”<br/><br/>“No, you did well.” Hui laughed. “But of course, with Song screaming at everyone and everything firing on you, what choice is there?”<br/><br/>“What do you mean?”<br/><br/>Hui shrugged, “You know.” he said, “Song forbid you turn that thing around without his orders mid-fire fight. They may have armored the '80's back-side up. But I wouldn't give these vodka pissers the chance to stick a rocket in our ass. I don't want to be the one to test armor durability.”<br/><br/>Tsun stood stunned. Hui approached the subject in such a casual distant matter it shook him harder than the war around them. “How do you do it?” he found himself asking.<br/><br/>“Do what?” Hui asked.<br/><br/>“This. All of this.” Tsung said. He found it difficult to simply imply the current state of things. It felt sickening to him. But he was here, like a village child in Kowloon.<br/><br/>Hui kept silent for a moment. Drawing from the glowing cigarette as he looked from him, and to briefly distant Omsk. “You learn.” he said cryptically.”<br/><br/>“How?” Tsun pleaded, “How do you?”<br/><br/>Hui visibly shrugged, not even sure himself. “Just keep rolling. It'll all probably be over in a couple months anyways. It always seems to.”<br/><br/>“There's something though...” Tsung said, pressing to desperation, “All of this... I don't know if I can do this. It's... different than what I thought it would be.”<br/><br/>Hui nodded, “I haven't thought about it.” he said, “And I don't want too. Comrade, I think that's for the best.”<br/><br/>Turning for the stairs he extinguished his cigarette against the bottom of his boot. “And Song's wondering where you are.” he said, “He'd want us both back. Doesn't want a sniper to take any of us. Let's get back.”<br/><br/><b>Northern Russia</b><br/><br/>A dead silence hung over the forest. In it, the shadows hid all under the boughs of gently snow-dusted pines. The low underbrush was still dead and barren. Under the stars and a moon hidden under the clouds the low grumble of motors rolled across the desolate Siberian forest. First three, then five. From the five it doubled to ten. From ten a complete brigade of mechanized infantry. The roars of their engines filling up into the night time air. Loosing themselves in the snow-packed boughs over heads. From weak head lamps the light snow glistened a amber and golden light.<br/><br/>The low rumble echoed in the darkened silent wood. The sounds of the motor low as the small, low vehicles skirted through the snow at the run of a quick man. The pocketed heavy tires digging into and kicking out the snow as they wound through, digging their own paths. The effort was slow going. But it was expected with what they had.<br/><br/>The low drone was interrupted by a high growling pop and a wet whine. The sharp cut of the sound split through the silence like a gunshot. And likewise many of the riders responded likewise. The caravan swerved to the side, and dark shapes dove from the seats for cover. All at once the sound of the motors died to a monotonous idle rumble as their riders – and passengers – took to the snowy ground.<br/><br/>But there was no response.<br/><br/>“At ease! At ease!” a voice shouted into the night, “Ease, comrades!<br/><br/>“Kill the cars. We've got motor problems.” the same man shouted again, distraught and frustrated. Slowly one by one the rumbling of small engines died and the Russian forest died into subtle soft silence. A deadened weight hung in the ears of the soldiers as they killed their mounts. A silent nervousness and tensity weighed over the unit as they set to watch into the darkness.<br/><br/>With a click, a singular light turned on. Illuminating a field of steam and smoke as a small group of men gathered near.<br/><br/>“The fuck happened this time!?” Tsien Huang coughed from the steel-frame nest on the top of the buggy. Gripping his coat by the edge he waved the heavy cotton fabric in the air, brushing aside the thin acrid smell of smoke and putrid smelling steam from the motor below him. An expression of contempt and disgust twisted his face as he glared down below.<br/><br/>“I'm looking.” a man growled. The driver. In one hand he held a heavy flashlight and with the other he fought to wave out the tendrils of steam and smoke as he looked over the exposed engine block. Pipes and pockets glowed a soft cherry red, but he paid these patches no heed as he looked over every edge he could.<br/><br/>“Did we get snow in it again?” Yun-qi asked, leaning over the driver's shoulder. He squinted his eyes against the harsh biting vapors of wrongly-cooked oil and gas, “I'm hoping that's not the smell of a motor on the brink of exploding.”<br/><br/>“I'm not about to rule that out now, but it's likely.” the driver said, biting his lip, “This will take a while. Perhaps you should get in with the other units and we'll make camp.”<br/><br/>“Right, how far do you think we got?” Yun-qi asked.<br/><br/>“Again, without an odometer I can't say for certain.” the driver laughed, nervously, “But maybe twelve hours driving, roughly forty-five kilometers an hour... Maybe five-hundred fifty kilometers.”<br/><br/>“And we're not any closer to knocking on Radek's back fucking door.” Tsien Huang cursed in his cage.<br/><br/>“Well, we're in good a spot as any.” Quan Yun-Qi added, “We'll stop here. Work on this tomorrow and move when it's done.”<br/><br/>“Copy that.” the driver grunted, burying his head into the cloud of fog and smoke as he sought out what had blown. The trip had been very dissatisfying.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi turned from the disabled buggy. When they were moving they made good progress. But the deeper they got, the less they managed to make in time. Of the twelve hours on a motorized forced march across Russia, four outside had been used in simple maintenance on the Russian made buggies. The cheap, quick to manufacture design was a cheap boon to the effort. They could be pounded out in Novosibirsk on a fistful of Ren. But they were that, cheap. And it irritated Quan.<br/><br/>On every occasion, the fault of their stall had fallen on the exposure of the engines. The combat engineers under his command had did their best to conceal and protect the fragile second-hand engines from the elements. But any given moment that itself seemed to fail and the snow managed to get in with much added frustration.<br/><br/>It hadn't been hardly a day since he and his men had deployed from their forward post in the far-north of Siberia - where they had froze for the better part of a winter in the arctic circle – that the ills of the Russian built buggies manifested. In almost eight hours kicked-back snow had built up over the motor and effectively drowned the engine of Yun-Qi's own buggy. To infuriated shouts all over, they were forced to stop as the issue was amended.<br/><br/>Of the most frustrating was when they rallied back to move after camp, where snow melt had frozen in the fuel lines and caused them to rupture. For a brief moment, they were at the closest they had been to going up in flames. As black smoke erupted from a live motor they moment they turned it on the day was doomed to be sour as nine and a half hours were wasted in fixing, and examining the similar carts. It was at that stage the column divided into their own units.<br/><br/>The loose regiment turned to their colonel as he called out to them. Handing out the order to make their camp for the night. Given the hardly ideal position, the command was met with frustrated grumbles. For the men, it would be difficult to find a solid place to dig down. Woody bushes grew clustered around the young pines, and the ground was still cold, despite it being the middle of May.<br/><br/>“<i>Lùjūn shàngxiào</i>!” Tsien Huang called out, summoning Yun-qi's attention as the coated Mongolian sprinted up to his officer's side.<br/><br/>“Yes?”<br/><br/>“At least for my own benefit, are we close to wherever we need to be?” Huang asked, “Driving off road through the Russian wasteland is exciting, comrade. But it's not what I expected on this campaign. And there's an end to a road somewhere.”<br/><br/>Yun-qi smiled. With a distant sigh he shook his head. “I'll need to check the map.” he sighed, “But we should be getting there soon. Provided we don't have any more problems.” he added, looking to the disabled buggy. The sounds of tired motors were replaced by the hacking and thudding of picks and shovels as his men dug into into the frozen ground for their camp.<br/><br/>“Well damn if that's not what he said before!” sneered Huang. Throwing his arms into the air he shouted sarcastically, “I'm so excited!”<br/><br/>Quan rolled his eyes. “Sure...” he mumbled. The soldier snorted and shook his head.<br/><br/>“We better be damn close.” he growled, “Or I'll go out and look for it myself.”<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>Small pinprics of light dotted the dark trees. Loose canopies scattered throughout the forest contained the soft glow of lamp lights or small forests as the Chinese held against the bitter cold of Northern Russia. Likewise, Quan Yun-qi brooded over his map.<br/><br/>Laid across his lap like a blanket, he leaned over it in the light of a gas lamp suspended from the hook of a metal pole driven into the frozen Earth. With his coat, a unwashed stone gray blanket lay across his shoulders as he worked over the day.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” a man's voice said, drawing up Yun-qi's attention from his map. Hovering in the opening of his quickly erected tent loomed his radio officer.<br/><br/>“Chen.” the colonel muttered, “You got the reports in?”<br/><br/>“Just finished.” communication's officer Chen said, throwing himself down on the cold ground. He stole wore his heavy radio, the heavy straps holding his heavy form in a tight hug. Rummaging in his pockets he spoke: “Sentries are out as well.” he said with a sigh, pulling out a piece of paper, “I have their communications on my primary channel. It's all quiet so far.”<br/><br/>“Suppose they still we're here?” Yun-Qi asked.<br/><br/>“Not with the south being a load of shit.” he coughed, “Fuck it's cold.” he commented bitterly, “But no. I don't think so. And there's too much wasteland for them to watch over. I don't suppose they would have found the time to keep our northern post under watch, even if they knew it was there to begin with. No one lives up here.<br/><br/>“Or, no one in their right mind.”<br/><br/>Quan Yun-qi took the slip of paper in his gloved hands and unfolded it. Triangulation data and coordinates were scribbled loosely across the entire scrap in messy quick handwriting. “I suppose you're right.” the colonel coughed.<br/><br/>“So then,” Chen started, “How are we doing in our voyage to this so-called installation?” he asked.<br/><br/>“I'm finding out.” the colonel said with a long distressed sigh, “We're still going south-west. But it'd help if we knew where there were any landmarks. Do you remember crossing any rivers?” he asked.<br/><br/>“No sir.” Chen shook his head.<br/><br/>“Then we're still north of Surgut. So we must be on the right path.”<br/><br/>“Do you suppose we're out of the arctic?” the comm officer asked.<br/><br/>“I see trees.” Yun-qi commented.<br/><br/>“As do I.” Chen laughed as he scratched his stubbly beard. “But I do got to say there have been an enormous amount of lakes.”<br/><br/>“Small ones.” Yun-qi nodded, “I don't think they included all but the bigger bodies.” the colonel spoke with a low angry tone as he scribbled along the side of the map. Adding to the margin long streams of math before returning to the center.<br/><br/>“There is good news though.” Yun-qi smiled, “I believe we're getting close.”<br/><br/>“Are we?”<br/><br/>“Less than a day's ride yet.” he smiled, “If we go the right way, we can patrol out to it on foot.”<br/><br/>“So it begins?”<br/><br/>“Soon.<br/><br/>“Very soon?”<br/><br/>“Yes.”<br/><br/><b>Urals, Russia</b><br/><br/>Night in the mountains was a cool respite from the day. Without electricity, nightly peace came early and quick. The motions of man died nearly as fast as one could hit the light-switch. So as the sun went down, the villagers retired. The small commune nestled in the bosom of the Urals fell to sleep as their guardians held a constant vigil at their posts, and the numerous wooded outposts.<br/><br/>The snow had long melted. But it did mean it was any colder. The day earlier had been kissed by gentle warm rains which impregnated the soil with warm seed. And as the front passed and left, and as the sun disappeared, the cold returned. The shock then had sent the hamlet to sleep in a eerie thick fog that clouded over the village.<br/><br/>At the table in a small cabin on the edge of the village a pair of Chinamen sat idle in the middle of their only other room. Sparsely decorated, the cabin's main room encompassed the concept of living room, kitchen, and dining into one space. It was hardly bigger than the average apartment in Shanghai, with barely enough space to park two large cars in it. A beaten moldy couch sat pressed against a pressed wood table, and behind it the wood of the counters, the steel of the sink, and the battered rusty iron of a wood stove; a tea pot boiled on top as the jaws of the stove filled with fire, keeping the cramped living space heated and comfortable.<br/><br/>Even with this effort though, a clammy cold draft found its way in. Brushing across the two men's faces like a ghost. Both fought to pay it no heed as they sat at the small table, wrapped in their coats and gloves.<br/><br/>The agent Jun leaned to the side as he rested in his lap the long curved blade of a Miao Dao. The metal shone with a high polish in the light and the heat of the stove alongside it. Gently, the scarred hands of its master ran a smooth stone along its edge, honing it as a rag over top polished the metal to an even more lustrous shine.<br/><br/>The blade was as long as the agent's torso was tall, if not more. The metal shone with perfect clarity the silent, apathetic sneer of its owner. Jun's lips pressed thin into a knotted frown as he looked down at himself in his sword's shine. His eyes had become visibly irritated, but he hardly felt it. But he could see it. His whites had bled a noticeable red. He tried to recount how many times he had rubbed them that day, or even why. But as long as he could see, it was hardly a major concern to the agent.<br/><br/>Opposite of him, his stouter companion, hunched over a pair of books as he studied one to copy the other down. The Mongol, Ulanhu was silent in his studies. If his ancestors could see their kin working over such things, they would disown them. Or so muddled Jun as he leaned over the blade as the studious Ulanhu translated and transliterated the names, numbers, and dates within into Chinese.<br/><br/>“How close are we to finishing?” Jun said, his voice low and heavy.<br/><br/>“Almost finished.” Ulanhu commented, “And I'm happy that I am, I just got a few more lines.” he sighed in relief. Looking up at his partner he gave him a distant smile, “I tried to cross-reference these names with old Imperial documentation in an attempt to eliminate a few names. Just so we do not get you chasing down old hookers perhaps to interrogate.”<br/><br/>“Or remove.” Jun remarked coldly.<br/><br/>“Or... Or kill.” Ulanhu said uncomfortably, shifting in his seat. Sighing distraught he continued, “Some of these persons aren't added as actual names though,” he continued, “which could be remarkably easy. Especially with identification like '<i>bukhgalter</i>'.”<br/><br/>Jun didn't honor the statement a response. Looking back down to his blade he nodded quietly. Running his thumb along the blade and drawing blood, he deduced he had honed it enough. With a soft slide and a click he returned the long sword into its scabbard.<br/><br/>“There's a lot of persons – or parties – in this book like that.” Ulanhu continued to droll on in a monotonous voice as his partner traded working on his sword for his handgun. With a heavy clunk the nickle-blue Changdu revolver fell with a clatter and he set to dis-assembly and cleaning of the fire-arm. His partner continued: “But 'prachechnaya-avtomat' or the library is probably not your forte of things to pursue to work up the chain of command.<br/><br/>“There's also a 'boss' written down, but I doubt the address is legitimate. I even checked with some of the men here about it, and they say it's been abandoned since the czar died.”<br/><br/>“Do you think it has purpose?” Jun asked as he popped out the cylinder of his weapon. Rolling out a cleaning kit he worked a brush into the chambers as he looked up, listening to his companion.<br/><br/>“Probably a drop off or meeting point for something, there's a few addresses marked that way.” Ulanhu grumbled, “You could go there and check them out, but I highly doubt you'd find significant leads at abandoned apartments or warehouses.<br/><br/>“I'd chase the bookkeeper myself. From a purely analytical input.”<br/><br/>“Why?” Jun asked, starring through the barrel searching for imperfections in the rifling.<br/><br/>“It's just the best lead!” Ulanhu grunted with a raised voice, flustered his composure wavered, and he even glowed a little more red.<br/><br/>“Very well then.” Jun nodded.<br/><br/>“Listen, are you sure you can do this?” his partner asked. Deep concern shone in his eyes as he looked up from the book and into the disinterested stare of Jun, “I mean, if you think you need some help. Organize leads maybe, watch your back even. Then just say. I'll tag along.”<br/><br/>“Is that what you want?” Jun asked, lowering the broken down frame for his revolver. Flashing it through the air was a surreal sight. A weapon so deadly stripped to its base components, it was really something strange. It made Ulanhu wonder, how often a bunch of springs, screws, and levers could be so dangerous.<br/><br/>But, in Jun's hands... That assumption was always ready to go out the window.<br/><br/>“It'd be better than sitting here.” he grumbled, “The general doesn't really have much for me to do. He already has his own field intelligence unit listening to radios and doing communication and map work. There's not a whole lot of things I can do.”<br/><br/>“It's Ivan?” Jun blurted out.<br/><br/>“Wh- what?” a baffled Ulanhu stammered.<br/><br/>“Yea, you're afraid he'll dunk you in another pond, naked.” Jun smiled, “I think he's past that point, comrade.<br/><br/>“You need to stay. Makulov's orders and Beijing's interests. I need someone to keep us up to date with our recon. Those planes found it this far. It's a shame for us to both leave.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” Ulanhu said weakly, bowing his head.<br/><br/>“So the book?” Jun asked.<br/><br/>“Yes.” Ulanhu sighed, passing over the copied and translated address book, “Again, I omitted a few names that were unnecessary that I can tell with my intel. It's also in three-month old cold. So even if the Mafiya's code-breaking it'll at least look like gibberish Mandarrin to the layman translator.”<br/><br/>Jun nodded, coming quickly to the conclusion in the event he's taken it'd be best to be incoherent. Building a cover.<br/><br/>“And when we go, you should pursue his bookkeeper. He's got no name as far as I can tell, but he has a home address. You won't have trouble finding him? He's literally on the road to Yekaterinburg. In Verkhnyaya Pyshma.”<br/><br/>Looking down at the open book and looking down the names Jun said with a soft up turned smile, “No.” he said, “No I don't think I'll have problems.”<br/><br/>“Good. Same transport as usual down there?”<br/><br/>“I suppose. I'll talk to Viktor.” said Jun.<br/><br/>“Makulov said he'll be sure to have his birds looking out for you.” Ulanhu said, closing the original with a soft hand. Jun stuffed the copy deep into his pockets, “I don't know how. He with held that. But I can only hope he can be in touch.<br/><br/>“And do this fast. The Office is already getting upset that we haven't made progress is convincing Makulov.”<br/><br/>“Ulanhu.” Jun said.<br/><br/>“Yes.”<br/><br/>“We're killers, not diplomats.” smiled Jun.<br/><br/>“I understand.”<br/><br/>“Then good. I'll head out early morning then.”<br/><br/><b>Lijiang River, South of Quilin, China, Guangxi</b><br/><br/>A heavy rain fell on the country. The dark night sky painted black at the strength of the rainclouds. The mountains of the Lijiang river valley shrouded in the darkness as the storm rolled over head. Thunder rolled heavily over head as the water kept coming down. The midnight rain fell relentless. But inside it was dry and warm.<br/><br/>The home of Zhang Auyi sat at one of a dozen bends of the river Lijiang. Nestled at the foot of the mountains merely a twenty-five minutes from the city of Quilin.<br/><br/>“What do we got from Chen Feng?” Auyi asked as he lay back in the arms of a bright-red armchair. A table lamp next to him cast around the sitting area a bight yellow halo. The darkness and the silent of the night cast back against the walls and far rooms by the glow of the bulb and the shuffling of papers.<br/><br/>“I didn't get a return on my message yet.” Auyi's companion said with a sigh. He was a small man, with a large heavy head shaped like a brick. A messy mop of hair crowned the top, but went no further than his ears; it was like a rat had taken to nesting there. “I have a feeling she may be aligning herself in the middle and not wanting to get involved.”<br/><br/>“We could use her involvement though.” Auyi mumbled, licking his thumb and turning aside the paper he had read. What came next was another part of a long list. Representatives of the Congress in Beijing.<br/><br/>“She's also elected out of Dalain.” the other man said, looking up, “She may be in support of your platform in private, but if she has aspirations of remaining in office by her own election cycle then I imagine she'll need to consider. Xhu is targeting the industrial bloc for his support.”<br/><br/>“That's to be expected though, comrade Wu.” Auyi nodded, “But what about Tui from the Yingkou district?”<br/><br/>“I got a return on that, and he's in favor. He'll be eager to meet with you, or attend whatever party you want to throw.”<br/><br/>“Good to hear.” Auyi nodded.<br/><br/>“Comrade?” Wu asked, leaning back in his chair and raising a meaty hand to his eyes, rubbing the sleep out of them, “If I can ask the important question, did you talk to Hou like you promised you would?”<br/><br/>“I did the morning after.”<br/><br/>“And what'd he say?”<br/><br/>Auyi paused for a moment. He juggled the idea he could tell him. That Hou would. But there had been no word from him, private or otherwise. “He said he'd think about it.”<br/><br/>“We may have a little under a year left, but his word on this would invaluable. No matter how little he said he would step out of this. After all, I'd hate to see us doing this again to get you into the parliament.”<br/><br/>“And how would that help?”<br/><br/>“Maybe you can use a parliamentary seat to form a bloc against Zhu.” shrugged Wu, indifferently.<br/><br/>“But maybe it wouldn't matter if I can't get endorsement out of them anyways.” Auyi grumbled, “I'd be better of retiring if I can't get it.”<br/><br/>“I got to ask though, comrade Auyi. Is this all your campaign?” Wu asked, concerned, “I realize you brought me back after your provincial commissioner bid. But even then, aren't we doing too little?”<br/><br/>“Shanxi Wu,” Auyi laughed, “this coming from the man who said political endorsements were a powerful thing to have in a race.” Auyi took a soft sigh, smiling distantly as he lowered the parliamentary list to his lap and starring out the night-stricken window, “And it's not like we had long to prepare.”<br/><br/>“I do agree.” nodded Wu, “And even from a... professional vantage point I got to ask you if you think it's time we start to take the platform out publicly.”<br/><br/>“Soon...” Auyi mumbled.<br/><br/>“Soon? How soon? Zhu started himself early. He laid out his ideas to the NPN the day of his announcement to run as a successor. Besides Tau Shan and Kwen He Fui he's being pegged as the man with the greatest chances among my colleagues back at the universities.<br/><br/>“And comrade, you have already a chance to take a demographic none of your competitors are reaching for. Never mind the congressional endorsement.”<br/><br/>“Who?” Auyi asked.<br/><br/>“The youth, of course!” Wu laughed, “You're involvement in the NPN bullshit with that singer Yaoliang Chen and the organization had an effect. Siding with Chen really helped.”<br/><br/>Auyi nodded. He demeanor remained flat and without word. But he remembered that. It was a dispute that threatened to go to the courts. And with a simple purge, it had been ended before it exploded.<br/><br/>“And the youth are smart. They'll support a liberalized agenda. I guess the universities are a blessing here. And I'm one contact away from getting in touch with the college commission to get it down to the kids.<br/><br/>“Granted, the main challenge will get them to vote. Only a quarter have ever bothered to report to a registered public election. But we should really be going after this. We could maybe get a supporter for every Zhu's one and get this to a close early race. Two maybe, if you can get them out of of Shan's growing net.<br/><br/>“I can get the official literature and the survey results across campuses by next week at the latest. But I'd like it if you scheduled a open conference. If you would like, I can get it set for Hong Kong, I know the people. Just say the word.”<br/><br/>There wasn't much to do. “Alright.” agreed Auyi, “Can you get me the phone number? I'll pass a call to someone in the morning.”<br/><br/>Wu smiled, “Thank you.” he bowed."

With a quick cowering apology to the man, Thomas made his way to Pyke, stopping at the desk with a quick, yet gentle exhale.<br/><br/>“You called, sir?”<br/><br/>“I did. I am going to need you to prepare for visitors, soon. The Governor General of Australia will be paying London a visit, and I want everything to be perfect. Wait, scratch that. I want everything BETTER than perfect. I want a car ready twenty-four seven to take him wherever he wants to go, gourmet food ready the second he arrives, and a room prepared that will make him not want to return home. I would also like the tea room ready for visitors, and the front of the building as pristine as possible for the pictures that will surely be captured.”<br/><br/>Still nodding from the mental notes he was making, Thomas replied with an affirmative.<br/><br/>“Oh, and, Thomas. I also have a letter for you to deliver to Banner. It is about the Moose Project, so it has to arrive today. I trust that you can handle this as well. Am I correct?”<br/><br/>“Yes sir! I will have everything ready right away, and this letter will meet General Banner's hands before sundown!”<br/><br/>“Good. You are the only one I trust to run those messages. Don't make me regret that.”<br/><br/>“No sir, never.”<br/><br/>“Good. Now get going. Time is of the essence, here. I, on the other hand, am stuck here reading over this damned petition. People have been complaining about taxes recently, but still expect us to fund that park project. They just don't get that without that money, we have no way of funding those parks. And then I have to sign off those papers Banner sent over yesterday about producing new firearms.”<br/><br/>Rubbing his temples, Pyke looked at his assistant, and sighed.<br/><br/>“Never get yourself stuck in the Prime Minister seat, Thomas. It always seems so much easier until you're here.” With a quick double take, as if remembering he gave Thomas orders, Pyke cleared his throat.<br/><br/>“Anyways. Get going. Time is-”<br/><br/>“of the essence, right? I got it.”<br/><br/>With a slight skip in his step as he passed Pyke's personal guard, Thomas left the room, off to complete the list of chores given to him by Pyke."
22020,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-06-21 18:49:00,gorgenmast,"<b>Arratzu, Spain</b><br/><br/>Julio had lost all sense of time in this place. Solid walls of whitewashed cinderblock were devoid of any windows or clocks and a constant, unnatural glow from fluorescent fixtures behind cages of metal bars eliminated all sense of day and night here. Untold hours passed each time the captive senator fell asleep. Each time he woke up to this claustrophobic cell no bigger than a closet, he began to doubt more and more seriously that he had ever had a life beyond this wretched place - that his life before Arratzu had been but a figment of his imagination. Complete ennui caused the minutes to stretch into hours and it felt as if he had been here for months. With no idea how long each nap or 'night' of sleep lasted, what felt like weeks might have only been a day or less.<br/><br/>The meals - a gross exaggeration for metal plates of usually-stale bread - did not help Julio to decide how long he had been imprisoned here. Through a small drawer in the metal door of chipping blue paint, the plates came at irregular intervals. He could swear that he was only being fed once every three days, sometimes less. The morsels of rock-hard bread did nothing to sate his hunger, and his stomach protested constantly in the form of loud gurgles. He had not once had to use the 'latrine' - the polite term for the putrid-smelling metal pipe descending into the concrete floor at the far corner of his cell - on the account of his malnourishment.<br/><br/>Julio could hear faint cries and yelling from under the door on occasion. They served as a reminder that he was not suffering alone - Sotelo's domestic enemies were a varied and numerous lot to be sure. But Julio had not joined them in protesting against their captors. He understood by now that every prisoner was meant to die here, and there was nothing he or any of the other prisoners could do to change that. But the powers in command here had seen fit to feed him - however meagerly. Stale bread was hardly expensive to be sure, but a single bullet to the back of the head would be far cheaper. The authority here had some reason for keeping him alive.<br/><br/>Julio was roused from sleep on the floor of his cell by the creaking groan of the cell door being opened for the first time he could remember. Two masked guards stood in the doorframe - one with handcuffs in hand, the other with a cattleprod. He sat by in passive submission as the guards stepped inside; resistance would only make this process more painful than it had to be. One of the guards pressed his boot squarely into his shoulders and pushed Julio down onto the concrete. He gritted his teeth as the guard placed full weight against his back, but this was still far preferable to resisting and being hit with the cattleprod. Gloved hands seized his wrists and locked them into handcuffs before yanking him up to his feet and shoving him out the door into the corridor.<br/><br/>Save for the audible ""huff"" of their breaths through the mask respirators, the guards led Julio through the cell block in complete silence. The former senator could not recall being brought to his cells in the first place, and so this was his first glimpse of the scale on which this facility operated. The corridor stretched far into the distance, bearing hundreds of cells on each side. The scale on which Alfonso Sotelo was eliminating dissenters was staggering, even to Julio Zuraban. The guards at last reached the end of the corridor and passed through swinging double doors into another region of the building.The doors were spaced much farther apart and seemed far less secure than the steel bulkheads of the of the prisoner block. Simple handlebar doorknobs suggested that offices might be on the other end. At the far end of this hallway was a single open open door inside which Julio was led inside.<br/><br/>The interior of this room was a nightmare imagining of a dentist's office. A single chair dominated the space - an actual dentist's chair that had been reinforced and bolted to the floor. Manacles on the arm and footrests had also been affixed and a conspicuous opening in the headrest had been cut out. An interrogator - clad not in a mask or the impermeable fatigues of the guards but rather dressed in black slacks and a doctor's apron - stood behind the seat with a warm yet-insincere smile. The man walked around to the front of the seat as the guards removed Julio's cuffs and shoved him into the chair. He noticed an assistant in the back of the office assembling something on a desk in the back.<br/><br/>""Senator Zuraban."" The interrogator greeted with mendacious warmth. ""What a pleasure it is to have you here.""<br/><br/>""The pleasure has been all<i>mine</i>."" Julio snarked, wincing as the guards restrained him too tightly to the interrogation chair.<br/><br/>""I'm glad to hear it."" The interrogator dismissed the guards with a tacit wave of the hand, who shut the door behind them. ""You, Senator, are one of the more interesting characters I've had the pleasure of having a...<i>discussion</i>with. When I received word that you were coming... why, I could hardly believe it. We are quite interested to know what you know.""<br/><br/>""So I've heard. But you're going to be fairly disappointed - fair warning. You'll not get anything out of me... nothing that matters to you people at least.""<br/><br/>""I'll be the judge of that, Senator."" The interrogator turned to his assistant, who procured for him a long syringe. Julio's eyes widened as the syringe came to the light.<br/><br/>The interrogator gently flicked the hypodermic needle with his middle finger, and then turned to notice the former senator staring nervously at the syringe. ""Well. Not so cocksure now, are we?""<br/><br/>""I'll bite,"" Julio spoke up, doing his best to feign composure and calm. ""What is that you're going to shoot into my arm?""<br/><br/>""This, Senator, is what is going to put me out of a job in a decade.""<br/><br/>""I'm curious, has it crossed your mind, Julio, just how the<i>Oficina</i>came to know where to find you after so many years? How the<i>Oficina</i>is privy to seemingly everything that might happen in the world? Take my word, both you and I would be positively astounded - you moreso than I - to know the full extent of the intelligence collected by the<i>Oficina de Inteligencia Militar</i>."" The interrogator extended his hand toward Julio's face and showed him the syringe vial. ""This, right here, is responsible for a great deal of that collected knowledge.""<br/><br/>""And it is fascinating stuff."" The interrogator continued. ""Now, I'm not permitted to know the exact composition of chemicals and components in this liquid nor do I particularly care to. Complicated and tedious chemical formulas, I'm sure. What I can say, however, is that it is a melange of precise proportions of powerful barbiturates, sodium amytal, pathway inhibitors, et cetera. What that means, for us layfolk, is a truth serum.""<br/><br/>""More like a placebo."" Replied a dubious Julio.<br/><br/>""I expect you'll change your mind soon enough."" The interrogator inspected the syringe as the assistant wheeled in an old cardiograph on a cart from the back of the room and wrapped pulse bracelets snugly around his left wrist. As the device was flipped on, the device gave a muted beep for every one of Julio's heartbeats. The beeps immediately came through at a quick pace - maybe one and a half to two beeps per second. Julio's anxiety was apparent for all to hear.<br/><br/>""What the Hell is this thing for?"" Julio complained.<br/><br/>""That, senator, is to ensure we don't kill you prematurely."" The interrogator, satisfied with the syringe, handed it back over to his accomplice, who stepped around the back of the chair. Julio's eyes followed him nervously every step of the way.<br/><br/>""You wanted to know what we were going to put into your arm, correct? This compound is not applied to the bloodstream. To maximize its efficacy, it must be administered directly to the Central Nervous System. Into the brain stem preferably.""<br/><br/>Julio's heart monitor spiked immediately, and he began wrestling against the manacles.<br/><br/>""And, from what I understand, the application is<i>extremely</i>painful. Mind where you place your tongue; it wouldn't be the first time I've had someone bite their tongue off.""<br/><br/>The heart monitor beeped wildly as the assistant drew a padded headstrap across Julio's thrashing forehead. His head had been secured, and the interrogator gave his assistant a nod of approval.<br/><br/>A deep sting pricked his neck as frozen steel slid between his vertebrae and skull. Julio cried out as the needle embedded itself into the spinal cord. He knew immediately when the syringe was emptied. Liquid fire squirted out and erupted into his very brain. He screamed as the chemicals spread forth from the needle and soaked his brain and spinal cord. It felt as if his brain had been drenched in gasoline and lit.<br/><br/>""One more thing, senator."" The interrogator added through the screaming and the beeping. ""Prolonged exposure will result in permanent brain damage. The sooner you tell us what you you know, the sooner we can administer the inhibitor.""<br/><br/>""So go ahead, Julio... tell me everything.""<br/><br/><b>Port Fuad, Egypt</b><br/><br/>For the second time in a little under two months, massive waves slammed against the retaining walls as a convoy of warships steamed through the mouth of the Suez Canal. All along the concrete embankments, and on rooftops and balconies near the waterfront, the people came out by the thousands to witness history sail past their city once again. When the Ottoman fleet sailed through the canal, it brought with it uncertainty. Ottoman rule of the Levant and beyond was crumbling, and Egypt's fate under the imploding sultanate was dim. The arrival of the Armada, however, promised a future of chaos and devastation; perhaps only for Eastern Africa, maybe for the entire planet.<br/><br/>They were Spanish warships - something altogether distinct from the rusting Great War relics the Ottomans drove down the Red Sea before them. Spain's fleet of angular warships, with fresh coats of clean graphite grey paint and bristling guns, was one of modernity. And they came in numbers much greater than that of the Ottoman flotilla. A vast column of more than fifty warships entered the channel one by one. A seemingly-endless train of military might passing through the heart of the city. All activity halted as the citizenry of Port Fuad gathered alongside the canal. And the Spanish upon the decks and bridges of their ships stared back to them. Among them was Admiral Santin, who admired the twin minarets of the Por'fuad Mosque passing him by on the bridge of<i>La Ira de Dios</i>- the larger of the Republic's two aircraft carriers.<br/><br/>A gigantic swell of water rose up along the bow the aircraft carrier and left tremendous waves rippling through the channel. The swells washed up over the concrete embankments and rolled over the heels of gawkers - sending them backing away hurriedly from the waterfront. Small cutters and patrol boats of the Canal Authority bobbed wildly about helplessly in the floating behemoth's wake with all the helplessness of bathtub toys. The Egyptians - defenseless against the might of the greatest blue water navy in the West - could do nothing but stay out of the way as the Armada stormed through the canal without warning.<br/><br/>Santin watched proudly through a monocular spyglass as the city took in the spectacle the Armada's passing had generated. Directly ahead of the<i>Ira</i>, her escort destroyer -<i>Cimarrón</i>- flew the yellow and red of the Second Republic with pride, as did every other vessel in the column. There would be no doubt as to the identity of this fleet - nor its intent.<br/><br/>""<i>Alférez</i>Navarro,"" Santin spoke up as he scanned the skyline of the city through his telescope.<br/><br/>""Aye,<i>Almirante</i>?"" The bridge's naval officer acknowledged.<br/><br/>""Get into contact with Madrid. We'll need to inform Rubiroso and the Prime Minister that we've reached the Canal and that we shall stay the course to Djibouti unless I am to receive orders to the contrary. We'll allow Sotelo to decide what we are to do... now that the world knows we come for Ethiopia."""

The air charged and bristled with anxious energy as a spring's storm gently rolled over the city of abandon. The wind rested cold and still. The shaggy trees stood limp and still. Hanging from every breath – man an animal – was a expectation of something distant coming.<br/><br/>It wasn't a lie in many senses. The day had been threatening rain for a time. The wind that combed over the city smelled as wet as it was cool. It was a matter of when. A matter of when the sky above would cloud and darken.<br/><br/>Standing at the stoop of his house a skinny Russian stood, arms loaded down with wooden crates of groceries. A light coat hung at his side as he stood, staring up into the sky. Overhead rumbles of thunder sounded with, almost list the expectant roll of drums in an orchestra. The sort of drums that rolled to summon and bait the climax and crescendo of the piece, to crash it at once with a crash of brass and the roar of strings. Every so often, the flash of lightning would spark through the ink blank sky illuminating his large bottle bottomed glasses with bright flashes of bleached white and fainted electrical blue. It'd be a hell of a storm. Like so many expected as word in the east grew dire.<br/><br/>The man could care little for such tired fear. In all of Russia the people had to pick such a thing to be afraid of now. But grumbling between pursed limps clutching a cigarette he lowered his head as he stepped up to the door of his home. Of all the self-killing.<br/><br/>The home wasn't much, or wasn't in better times. But without a broken window or a gratified wall. Without bullets marring the concrete steps as it rose up from the curb of the street, it might as well be a mansion. Lining the street, early turn-of-the-century townhouses marched up and down. Many bearing desperate signs of vacancy and squatters. Graying plywood sheets hung in darkened windows and many doors had been broken from their frames, opening up to the elements the darkened maws of dead beasts. Dogs were the maggots here in this grave yard. But there was a still living monster far more terrifying than the vulturous methamphetamine addicts that scoured the streets, clutching bottles of vodka as the stared with vacant zombie expressions.<br/><br/>Digging from his deep coat pockets the man pulled out his house keys. A ring full of tarnished blackened brass. With steady pale fingers they broke the lock, turning the tumblers as the door was pushed aside with a tired yawn. Echoing down the street the door closed with a monstrous bang, locking behind itself as its master returned.<br/><br/>There was nothing to say as he entered the black throat of the house. More metal clinked and clattered in the inundating shadows before a soft amber light shone in the night. A lit lighter. The light it carried floating with a ghostly ambiance in the frozen chamber of the small, tidy foyer. Like a lost will-o-the-wisp it floated along, coming to land in a small brass oil lantern. The wick caught immediately, growing and glowing with a healthy light as the Russian man tended to it. Fathering out with tender care to where the flame grew.<br/><br/>Washing over the floral wall-paper and the narrow wooden trimming of the doorways the light grew. Reaching up to the wooden ceiling above. Showing the stains once hidden and the few stubborn bits of plaster that had not yet broken down. Cracks and lines ran from floor to roof in fine hairline patterns. The wallpaper peeled back from the combination wood and plaster wall behind. It was not a fine home by any measure. But it was a mansion to the people now. Even without electricity.<br/><br/>“Krasivyy.” he crooned softly. Smiling warmly in the healthy glow of the burning oil. With his free hand he picked up the lamp before turning down the hall.<br/><br/>He didn't go more than a step when he stopped, his heart freezing in his chest as he saw the black shape seated expectantly in his hall. A man coated in black, holding leveled against him on the red arm rest of his favorite chair a monster of a hand-canon. The glimmering, polished plating caught the light perfectly, burning a bright fiery orange as its master stared listlessly at the man. His face frozen in such a haunting expression it froze him solid. The man, distinctly oriental from his narrow chin to his shaved head bore into him with eyes of green contempt. One he noted as being so bruised, the white was red.<br/><br/>“Put down the lamp, and the crate.” Jun growled in a low voice, his Russian was choppy to say the least.. His thumb stroked past the back of the revolver, drawing the hammer back with an affirming click. The Russian nodded understandingly, moving slowly as he put aside his crate of groceries, putting the lamp on the table next to him.<br/><br/>“How'd you get in here?” the man whispered. His voice was rough and strained. His eyes shrunk to pinpricks as he concentrated on the Changu in the agent's hands. His face lost color, even in the glow of the fire.<br/><br/>“That doesn't matter.” Jun said, “You know things.”<br/><br/>“I don't know what you're talking about.” the man said with a shaky nervous voice. He rose his arms above his head.<br/><br/>“You do.” Jun answered. His voice carried with the brunt voice of a ram. He stared into the eyes of the man as he spoke, and he recoiled as if shot.<br/><br/>“I swear I d-” the man began.<br/><br/>“I found your name and address in a book.” Jun cut in without giving him the time, “Along with several others I'm interested in.”<br/><br/>“The n-neighbors.” the Russian said with a weak voice, nodding to the gun.<br/><br/>“You got none.” Jun replied.<br/><br/>“Po-” the man started, getting interrupted.<br/><br/>“All day. No patrols.” said Jun, “Too many gunshots today already. I don't think they'll care.”<br/><br/>The man nodded. His breath stuttered. It grew stressed and intense as he followed the line between him and the barrel of the gun. He thought about if he could play patient with him. The barrel could deviate. He'd need only a few degrees, there'd be time to turn and run between the miss. The recoil would give him that much.<br/><br/>His hopes were dashed. Jun knew well enough to see through it. Turning the pistol to the side more he could swear he could almost smell the urine.<br/><br/>“You want my name?” he stuttered, “It's Alexios Danovich.”<br/><br/>“I don't care about that.” Jun said. “Mafiya.”<br/><br/>“I can't do that...” Alexious murmured weakly, “I'm in Hell enough as it is.”<br/><br/>“Then it doesn't matter.” the agent said, “Names. Where can I go?”<br/><br/>“I honestly don't know many...” Alexios swallowed. His voice cracking, “There's Donoto-” he started.<br/><br/>“He's dead.”<br/><br/>“Then he's no good.” nodded Alexious. Sincere pity and remorse shone in those lamp-lit eyes. “Loshad Isetov. Business out of Chkalovskiy Rayon. Old factory off of Shcherbagova. I think it made tanks. I only been there twice. Ruins now. What else?”<br/><br/>“Will he have names?” asked Jun.<br/><br/>“More. Maybe. Yes.” Alexious said panicking. Jun's fingers on his weapon tightened.<br/><br/>“Thank you.” Jun said, drawing a single breath as a loud crash and a bright flash thundered through the hall. A red spike pounded into Alexious chest, spinning against the door as a thick fountain of blood trailed back behind him as he twirled limply against the ground.<br/><br/>His body hit the floor in a slump. Blood pooling up next to his body as he gasped with wet bloodied breaths to stay alive. The twisted dying body of Alexios was nothing Jun pitied in as he rose from the chair he had moved to the hall, loading a bullet back into the chamber as he reached behind the chair for his sparse gear.<br/><br/>Alexios eyes stared up at the oriental. Pleading from dark pits to save him. Cursing him for shooting him. Jun looked down to him, unmoving in his contempt. He didn't emphasize. Not that he understood, but that he didn't care. Alexious coughed as he bled, pleading for Jun to come back as he walked in through the darkness."

Eyes closed, he didn't even hear the footsteps coming down the hallway, leaving him in a slight panic as arms wrapped around him from behind. Despite the moment of terror, however, it took him only a second to recognize the arms, and he quickly stood up to greet them. <br/><br/>""My dear Merideth. How was your day, dear?""<br/><br/>Smiling at Pyke, the woman embraced him once more. ""Oh, you know. A typical day around here. Fighting off a headache, longing for the moment I get to speak to my own husband, who shoos me away to speak to another woman.""<br/><br/>Frowning, Pyke released from the hug. ""Oh, please. Dear, you know that my secretary is nothing more than that.""<br/><br/>""Oh really? Pyke's wife teased. ""Then why is it you have a lunch scheduled with her next Tuesday?""<br/><br/>Eyes widening and face flushing, Pyke was about to open his mouth to ask how she knew, when she beat him to it with a reply. <br/><br/>""As usual, Thomas told me. And don't you dare threaten to fire him again.""<br/><br/>""I won't, I won't! Besides, it's nothing more than a professional meeting. Just because I would like to enjoy food while it's happening doesn't mean it is anything more than that.""<br/><br/>Green eyes furrowing under greying red hair, Meridith focused in on Pyke with a playful scowl. ""Why do you even need a woman secretary, anyways. Thomas does an exceptional job, I believe. Why don't you go dine with him, instead?""<br/><br/>""Merideth, even when I did dine with him, you asked me if I still felt love for you, or if I felt a sudden urge to chase after men.""<br/><br/>""Well, maybe I would just like it if I got to spend the day dining out with my husband again. Is that so bad?""<br/><br/>""Dear, I told you. I would love to take you out for lunch, but my schedule is always so packed, and I never can fit it in.""<br/><br/>Actually frowning now, Meridith gave a snappy, witty response. <br/><br/>""That doesn't stop you from having luncheons with your flings.""<br/><br/>Face redder than before, Owen stood tall, and raised his voice. ""I told you! That's not what those are! It is professional, and that's all!""<br/><br/>Laughing as her husband steamed like a tea kettle, Merideth walked out of the room, only stopping and turning back to speak with Owen.<br/><br/>""Dear, surely you know I am just teasing you. No reason to get so angry. Especially when I have good news for you. Our son called today. He said that he is at the lab, and is going to start working on the project soon. He said you would know what he was talking about.""<br/><br/>Calming down, Own nodded solemnly, and reponded in a serious tone. ""Yes, I do.""<br/><br/>Quickly realizing his tone made his wife worried, Pyke made up a quick cover story.<br/><br/>""You know him, though. I'm worried that he will get so involved in his work, he won't even sleep.He's always been like that, hasn't he?"" <br/><br/>Laughing, Pyke smiled when he saw his wifes expression become happy once again. <br/><br/>""Anyways, what are we having for dinner?""<br/><br/>""Well, I am having lobster. You, on the other hand... Well, I think you can just have bread. Need to save room for your date with that young secretary of yours, after all.""<br/><br/>Sighing, and giving in, Pyke entered the dining room for supper, knowing that the teasing about the lunch wouldn't stop for at least another week.<br/><br/><b>British Governmental Research Laboratory, St. Kilda Island, Scotland</b><br/>A large, sprawling white structure sat alone in Northern St Kilda, far out of the sight of most civilians. The small town below was there solely to house the researchers and military members stuck on the island. Walking inside would instantly subject you to silence, as the blinding white, soundproof walls let no noise in, and no noise out. In fact, the entire building felt, and looked more like a sanitarium than a research facility at first glance. The buzzing florescent lights, the whitewashed interior, and the painful silence all seemed out of place for a facility that supposedly worked with heavy machinery, medical experiments and other such things. <br/><br/>However, once you move under the first floor, you begin to see everything you would expect. Test chambers, large machines, doctors, soldiers... It was obvious the upstairs was a disguise, keeping the true secrets hidden deep underground. <br/><br/>In a testing chamber on the third floor below the surface, a man with long, curly red hair stood in a stereotypical lab coat, in front of three other researchers, and a handful of soldiers. In a smooth voice, he was explaining to them the details of a new experiment they would be beginning.<br/><br/>""Now"" he said, calmly. ""Before we begin, does anybody here have any moral objections to what we are about to do? This is going to be a very important study, so I don't want any of you losing your stomach if anything goes wrong.""<br/><br/>After waiting for five minutes, giving the people time to think it over, the head researcher clapped his hands together. <br/><br/>""Good! Now, remember. Do not tell these men the exact details. Just read these lines off. 'You will be undergoing a study, in which you will not be allowed to sleep. We will trust you to uphold your end of the agreement, of course. But, should we see anybody nodding off, we will begin to sound an airhorn within the chamber every thirty minutes. Though, we trust that this will not be necessary. In the chamber, of course, is everything that you will need for the next thirty days. Running water, dried foods, toilets, and chairs. We have also supplied books, and a television, which will be turned on from noon to six, daily. If, at any time we deem somebody unable to go through with the experiment, we will have military personnel escort you from the chamber, to a medical office. If you successfully complete the month, you will be paid in full for your time. Now, please follow me.' Do not, and I cannot stress this enough, release details about the Nocturne Gas. I want them to go in without knowledge that they will be under it's effects the entire time.""<br/><br/>Once he finished speaking, a brown haired girl raised her hand to ask a question.<br/><br/>""Yes, what is it?""<br/><br/>""Well, I was just wondering, Doctor Pyke, what we will do if the gas has a negative effect?""<br/><br/>""Simple. We do nothing but observe.""<br/><br/>""But sir! If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be unethical if we did nothing?""<br/><br/>""Ah, Lisa. If you would please remember, before I started explaining, I asked you all if you would have issues. You said nothing at the time. So what changed?""<br/><br/>""I... Nevermind.""<br/><br/>""No, please. I insist. Tell us, what is on your mind?""<br/><br/>""Well, sir..."" Lisa said, clearly very nervous. ""I was just thinking that we might have done something if it goes wrong. That we wouldn't let anyone get hurt if we made a mistake.""<br/><br/>Nodding with eyes closed, Pyke took what Lisa said to heart. He then let out a sigh, as he opened his eyes. ""But, Lisa. How do we learn the negative effects that this might have if we do not observe? Do you see the problem? We can't know what negative side effects might occur if we let simple thoughts such as 'what if it hurts them' get in the way. Besides, each of them signed a contract. They agreed to stay for the duration of the expirement, unless it was deemed they were unable to continue. So, you see, as long as I deem them able to continue, they will stay in. So if I am willing to let them die for important data, then they will do so.""<br/><br/>Looking terrified, Lisa stood there in a nervous sweat. ""Sir... I... I wish to resign from the project.""<br/><br/>""I assumed as much."" Pyke said, before looking at one of the soldiers, and giving a nod. ""Please escort Doctor Lisa from the lab, if you would.""<br/><br/>Nodding, the soldier replied with a ""Yes sir.""<br/><br/>Laughing, Pyke responded. ""Williams, you don't have to call me that. We've known each other for years, and your father is close friends with my father. Just call me Matthew. That way people don't mix me up with my him.""<br/><br/>""Yes sir, err... Matthew.""<br/><br/>With an awkward silence behind them, Williams took Lisa by the arm, and escorted her from the labs, to an elevator. When they got on, however, he pressed the down botton, rather than up.<br/><br/>""Excuse me."" Lisa said, concerned. ""You pressed down.""<br/><br/>""Yes, I did."" Williams replied.<br/><br/>""But... You were supposed to escort me out, what's going on?""<br/><br/>In a dry voice, with no emotion, Williams responded.<br/><br/>""I am sorry, maam. Matthew Pyke has ordered that no information leave this facility without his approval. You did not speak up when you had the chance, so to let you leave now would be letting you leave with classified information. I am sorry. He gave you a chance, but now it's too late.""<br/><br/>Now in a complete panic, Lisa tried to break free of Williams' grip, but was not successful. Seeing no other option, she grabbed a pen from her front pocket, and moved to jab it into Williams, but was caught before the pen could reach. <br/><br/>""I am really sorry about this, maam."" Williams said, as he snapped her wrist breaking it, and leaving her screaming in pain and crumpled on the floor, until the elevator stopped, at which point Williams just picked her up as she sat, sobbing in both pain and fear, as they moved toward a door labeled ""HUMAN EXPIREMENTATION.""<br/><br/>Back up above, Matthew Pyke just finished introducing himself to the volunteers, and reading the script off to them. Once finished, he clapped his hands together again, smiling with his eyes under his round glasses, as the soldiers escorted the six men inside the chamber that they would spend the next thirty days in.<br/></span>"

Leyla fretted as another mine rolled off the layer and hit the water with a roaring splash. The<i>ENS Aksum</i>was making good time, the the sea hissing and foaming behind them. Every few minutes, the crewmen released a mine from one of the tilted rail minelaying machines on the back of the frigate. They left a trail of bobbing steel spheres in the canal, turning the trade lane into a warzone.<br/><br/>Elias chuckled. ""They said this is an important mission. I don't know what else you expect."" He hadn't taken her concerns seriously. Sometimes, she felt as if he didn't take her seriously either. They had worked together since Armenia, and he knew what she could do. Still, it was the looks he gave her. The patronizing grin. He had always been good at those, but she noticed it more now, and she always wondered if he had become more patronizing after the Sultan.<br/><br/>They had joined the Walinzi in their youth, and they had been sent to Armenia shortly afterward. Ever since then, they had been partners. Elias was slightly older than her, though his strong-jawed youthful face and well-groomed head of hair made it hard to tell. Ever since Armenia, they had been partnered together like the agency equivalent of siblings.<br/><br/>In her mind, the Sultan had changed everything. She had killed him in bed, his body mingled with hers. She could s till smell his musky unwashed scent. He had been old, and the process of slipping into paranoia had aged him even further. When she first met him, working undercover in his employ in order to get close enough to assassinate him, she had saw him as the enemy. The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Suleiman III. He had murdered thousands in a megalomaniacal plan to keep an Empire that he had neither earned nor deserved. Armenia, Syria, Egypt, the Caucus, they were all bled by the bullets he had ordered. She had saw firsthand what his men could do, in Armenia and then in Istanbul itself where the people seethed under martial law. She had hated him when she met him, and during those first few days in his palace, she had been numb.<br/><br/>He wasn't the monster she had expected. The evil dictator she had been taught to hate was a frightened old man. His people had abandoned him, and his generals were plotting against him. He babbled about it on and on, refusing to shave or bathe out of fear that he would be assassinated in his own palace. The Turkish generals were planning to take control, he would say. His own advisers were planning his demise. It sounded insane, the ramblings of a paranoid man, but in the back of her mind Leyla had been aware that there was truth there. Suleiman had become damaged goods. If she hadn't taken him out, someone else would have.<br/><br/>In the miserable shell of his own fear, isolating himself from everything that had ever brought him peace of mind for fear of his life, the Sultan had wrote his own demise. So alone, so broken and abandoned, the sleepless Sultan had given in to her touch like an infant to their mother. It had been so easy that it had stunned her. In his fear of what lurked behind the shadows in the world he had known all his life, he had blinded himself to new threats. She became his last tenuous connection to humanity. At first, it had been revolting, but as she continued to warm his bed she began to pity him. Pity, and then guilt.<br/><br/>Leyla watched as she became the only thing he had, the only thing he cared about. He talked to her as if she was his daughter rather than his lover. One night, she had heard him crying in his sleep, begging forgiveness from his father. In this, she realized what his defeat meant. He had lost the Empire of his forefathers, that they had build centuries ago. He had failed them and lost everything. Everything but her.<br/><br/>He loved her. She knew it. She was the only thing that made him a person. She was his forgiveness. And she killed him with the pills.<br/><br/>His heart gave way with her on top of him, and when he looked in her eyes he must have understood. Leyla could not put on an act in that moment - she had become dead to the world, and he saw it. She could remember the look in his eyes. That would stay with her until the end. He had died truly alone.<br/><br/>Leyla had only ever told Elias this much of the story, and he had worried she had fallen in love with the man she had targeted for death. She had worried the same thing for a while, but it had not taken her long to realize that love wasn't what she had felt. In him she had seen the thing everybody feared the most. To be hated by the world, to have failed everything that meant anything to you. She had pitied him so deeply that it had seemed like a form of love. It had still just been, however, pity.<br/><br/>He had died truly alone.<br/><br/>She shivered at the thought of it. Another mine went in. Another splash.<br/><br/>""There they are!"" a man shouted, breaking her trance. A whoop, shared by sailors and Walinzi alike, leapt up across the ship.<br/><br/>On a road that ran alongside the canal, a caravan of armored trucks had joined them. They had landed in Suez, where the Red Sea meets the canal, and they had been tracing the canal every since, securing villages from the mosaic of factions that controlled the fractured Egyptian nation. For days, the ENS Aksum had not seen any signs of them. Leyla had felt the doubt that whispered across the ship; the caravan had been lost, its personnel slain by the a gang or tribe that had more power than had been expected. The orders remained the same none the less. Radio silence. The appearance of the trucks had disproved their worst fears and set their minds at ease.<br/><br/>There were dings in the armor of those vehicles - evidence of the fighting they had expected. Bent fenders and dented doors were almost the norm, among the older German vehicles with their rounded lights and smoothed features as well as the sharper, more compact Chinese equivalents. Old or new, combat still found a way to wear on both. With dusty scraped paint and dirt-smeared windshields, they trucked on. Ragged soldiers, their uniforms in disarray, were huddled in the back of each vehicle. Several held on to more unconventional perches, most likely left-overs from transports lost or abandoned somewhere in the Egyptian sands behind them. There were men clinging to jutting fenders or hanging off the sides with their hands clasped around the metal frames that rose up from the truck bed. One man held on from the back, one leg balanced on a hitch while the other held onto the butt of his rifle. Dust kicked up around him, and the ratted dreads that were his hair wriggled out from his head like snakes trying to flee. It reminded Leyla of Armenia in a way. Men and boys alike going to a war that they looked likely to win just by arriving. Who could stand in their way, after all? But it was easy to forget that confidence doesn't bring about victory, blood does. Most of these men would die. It was a sad realization that had hit her over and over again during the darkest days of the Armenian conflict. Here, it was an even darker thought. These men were not foreigners, after all. These men were theirs.<br/><br/>She put that thought to the back of her mind. The sound of mines against the water, the sight of a dozen trucks burning through the sun-soaked Egyptian sands under the shadow of a three thousand ton steel monster sheering through the open canal. If victory didn't feel like this, what did?<br/><br/>""It reminds me of Armenia."" Elias shouted above the waves, as if he had read her thoughts. ""It's better out here than in the office. More action.""<br/><br/>Leyla nodded. ""I don't get it though. Why only one ship?""<br/><br/>""They want the rest of the navy guarding the Mandeb. It's no use trying to stop them here. Most of the Spanish ships can out-range us.""<br/><br/>""What else can the navy do?"" Leyla inquired. ""If they can out shoot us, they can do it in Mandeb.""<br/><br/>Elias shrugged. ""I guess they figure they will focus on invading the coast for a while. Long enough to keep cargo coming in from China at least.""<br/><br/>""You don't know?"" Leyla asked. ""I thought they told you.""<br/><br/>""I'm not Debir. I don't have that type of clearance."" he stared out toward the trucks, watching them blankly as they passed beneath the sparse shade of palm trees along the razor-straight bank.<br/><br/>The last time she had seen Amare Debir, it had been on the coast of Trebizond fighting off little goats.<br/><br/>""I wonder where he is."" Leyla blurted.<br/><br/>""Still in Armenia."" Elias answered. ""That's all I know.""<br/><br/>Sometimes she missed those days. She had been a child back then, in retrospect. Leyla had entered the Walinzi at seventeen. They had been looking for young people, hoping that special training at such a malleable age would be more effective than it was on the veteran soldiers that they usually trained. Several years later, she was deployed into the rough backwater patch of the ailing Turkish Empire that called itself the independent Armenian state. It was the first time in her life that she had left Ethiopia, and even amongst her fellow agents she had felt exiled. Out of her element, in a way. The Armenians had seemed like a desperate people, clinging to a world that had been turned upside down by revolution and war, and they had no place for foreigners of the dark continent. The small Walinzi office had been her world for that time, and Amare Debir had been their father. During the darkest days of that war, when the future had seemed uncertain, Amare had seemed so calm that it had comforted her. Even after the embassy bombing, he hadn't seemed too affected.<br/><br/>""We're coming up on Port Fuad."" the ships captain shouted down to them. Leyla and Elias both looked to the front of the ship, almost instinctively. She knew the Spanish were nearby. She could almost smell them. Her insides fluttered at the thought. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the captain leering uncertainly at the trucks.<br/><br/>""You'll have your extraction."" Elias shouted back. ""Just get us closer to the mouth."""
22024,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-06-29 20:53:00,gorgenmast,"<b>Arratzu, Spain </b><br/><br/>Something had gone horribly wrong.<br/><br/>He shivered feverishly in the bindings that held him against the seat. Bloodshot eyes flitted across the room - now vacant save for him. His lips quivered, as if he were stuttering profusely as he tried to sound out words.<br/><br/>The interrogation had ended perhaps hours ago, and his captors had left him on his own to come down off of the cocktail they had pumped into his head. Even with a dose of inhibitor to keep the melange from completely destroying his mind, the chemicals seemed to have done exactly that. Julio's mind raced - a hundred thoughts per second flitting through his head - too fast to control or register. Disorganized memories and ideas ran through his mind as though someone had strung together a film reel composed entirely of random pictures and projected it onto his mind. By the time he tried to address one thought - a thousand more had passed before him.<br/><br/>But among the dissonance, a fear bubbled up and rose quickly throughout it all. Fear that this would last forever, that his mind was being lost before his eyes, rose above all else. The thoughts coursing through his mind coiled on themselves and swirled downward like frothy bathwater swirling down into the blackness of the drain. And as every thought he had ever had ran past, a shrill buzzing sounded above it all - panic screaming above a billion thoughts all sounding at once. His eyes rolled back into his head and a long spittle of saliva slid down from an open, chattering mouth. For a time of indeterminate length, Julio sat in a catatonic torpor as still as the few surroundings in the spartan office.<br/><br/>A sound from the ceiling galvanized the listless Julio from his torpid state perhaps an hour later. Lethargically he looked up to the empty, gray ceiling with the same stupid curiosity that a dog might exhibit upon hearing an unfamiliar noise. Distant, disembodied speech echoed down from a ceiling vent and could be heard rather clearly in the silent office. Questioning taking place in another office carried across the ventilation down to Julio, though he seemed to be in no position to register what he was hearing.<br/><br/>""The tablets. We want to know where you're getting them."" An authoritative voice demanded.<br/><br/>""I am a dealer of drugs."" Another voice - more defensive - responded with a nervous chuckle. ""I deal with a great many tablets. You'll have to be more specific.""<br/><br/>""You're going to find that playing a fool will do nothing to help you."" Said the authoritative voice coldly. ""The ones with the man on them. The ones that say 'Try me'.""<br/><br/>""Right. Well... I'm not really, exactly, too sure abou-""<br/><br/>""Give him another injection.""<br/><br/>""Oh God - no! Sorry! I'm sorry!"" A pause as the man presumably accumulated his thoughts. ""The one who sells me them knows a guy who knows a guy in Malabo. That's where all the Spanish acid is coming in from. That is - honest to God - everything I know.""<br/><br/>""Wait, please, no...NO!! PLEASE NO!""<br/><br/>Anguished screams came down into the office with a cold, metallic echo. Whether by the association of the terrified wailing with agonizing pain he had felt only hours before, or simply due to the loud noise serving to snap him out of his torpor - Julio's cognitive faculties suddenly returned to him. With a shiver and no recollection of what had just happened to him, he looked about frantically to see where he was, and then looked up to the vent from whence these cries were coming.<br/><br/>""No inhibitor - not this time."" The interrogator could be heard through the vent over the wailing - likely to his assistant. ""Let him stew in it.""<br/><br/>It was then that Julio realized the extent of the diabolical nature of this monstrous place. A horrendous, painful death awaited all those damned to this facility.<br/><br/>""Yes... I'm quite certain. Guijon wants some of them scrambled from now on.""<br/><br/><b><i>La Ira de Dios</i>, Suez Canal</b><br/><br/>""Contact sighted!"" The communications ensign cried out upon the carrier's bridge to their Admiral. He turned excitedly from looking out of the windshield into the empty Sinai Desert stretching to the horizon; parsed by a narrow ribbon of blue sea through which Armada sailed. ""Azimuth 175 degrees!""<br/><br/>""Which ship put eyes on it first?"" Santin demanded, making his way from the windshield to the communications terminal.<br/><br/>""<i>Golondrina</i>, Admiral."" The officer reported. He slid the headphones back over his ears as he saw a red light on the console light up indicating new transmission. The ensign's eyes threatened to bulge out of his eyes not long after putting them over his ears. ""Sir, it's flying Ethiopian colors.""<br/><br/>No sooner than the Admiral could speak, a new voice cried out across the bridge - this time coming from the radar screens pulsing with warm green light. ""We're picking up multiple contacts on radar. Moving along the periphery of the canal and closing fast on our fore squadron.""<br/><br/>It was an ambush.<br/><br/>The Ethiopians must have discovered their Armada and intent well before their arrival in the eastern Mediterranean. No other way could the Ethiopians have mobilized a counterattack unless they had known several days beforehand. But in spite of the reversal of the element of surprise and this grievous intelligence leak, Admiral Santiago Santin did not seem particularly bothered. In fact, a smug grin had drawn itself across his face; totally bewildering to his exasperated officers.<br/><br/>""I look around this bridge and all that I see is worry and concern on your faces!"" Noted Santin, striding confidently through the bridge back to the windshield. ""Worry... on the account of an Ethiopian ship and a smattering of ground vehicles? Now I wonder... did I choose a pack of cowards to serve as the crew of my flagship?""<br/><br/>A handful of shameful 'No, sir's could be heard.<br/><br/>""Then act like it! I want to see some smiles, then... Because today we are going to finish what our Republic failed to do three years ago at the Dahlac Islands."" Santin drew a microphone at the fore of the bridge up to his mouth.<br/><br/>""All ships: All hands to battle stations!""<br/><br/><b>Madrid, Spain</b><br/><br/>""Tell me again, why exactly I am hearing about this."" Prime Minister Sotelo sighed, massaging his temples as he took a break from tapping away at the keys of an electronic typewriter. He paid little attention to the visitor to his cavernous office, failing even to return eye contact as his fingers descended upon the keys of the machine once again.<br/><br/>""Because, your Excellency, this is a matter of national security."" The suit-clad orderly reminded anxiously. ""The reserves armory at Bilbao was broken into. As of this morning - when the armory personnel inventoried their supplies - over 40 firearms including eleven FE-74 Standard Issue assault rifles and an anti-tank rifle had been reported as missing.""<br/><br/>""I understood that the first time."" Sotelo groaned as he pecked out a string of letters on the keypad. ""What I do not understand is why you felt it warranted your coming here and bothering me about it. Some forty guns have gone missing. Unfortunate, I agree. An emergency on my part? I think not.""<br/><br/>""With all due respect, your Excellency, It does constitute an emergency when those weapons are very likely in the hands of an insurgency determined to dismantle the Second Republic as we know it."" The aide deposited a file folder upon the desk for Sotelo to inspect. Clearly annoyed with the interruption, Sotelo pushed the typewriterback across the desk and thumbed through the manila dossier. Within the folder were a number of photocopied mugshots each accompanied by several pages of typewritten profiles and arrest forms.<br/><br/>""They call themselves the Partisans - political dissidents from the ever-unruly Basque Country. Many of their number have ancestors who fought in the Carlist Wars of the last century. Of course, nationalist sentiment in the Basque Country effectively died out during the repressions of Juan III, but in recent years dissidents have resurfaces in the form of these<i>Partisanos</i>to contest what they see as an erosion of freedoms under your tenure as Prime Minister. In the interest of appealing to and drawing support other disenfranchised groups in the Republic, they have largely abandoned their Basque nationalism and seek to incite revolution against your administration.""<br/><br/>""Law enforcement agents have managed to capture or dispatch most of their leadership in the past year, including one-""<br/><br/>""Ignacio Laboa."" Sotelo interrupted, reading off the name associated with with one mugshot.<br/><br/>""Indeed. Ignacio underwent interrogation at the Arratzu facility and surrendered much of what is now known of the organization. Under questioning he has explained that his daughter, Graciela, would have likely assumed leadership of the Partisans.""<br/><br/>Sotelo tucked the papers and individual dossiers back into the folder and pushed it back across the desk. ""It would seem to me that the law enforcement divisions of Vizcaya have thus far done a commendable job keeping these degenerates in line. Many of their leaders are in custody and they seem to know who is in charge among them now."" Sotelo's furrowed eyes at last rose from his desk to meet the aide's. ""So I will ask you again, one last time, why exactly I needed to be interrupted with this?"" The orderly had no words for Sotelo - only embarrassed stammering.<br/><br/>""The previous week,"" Sotelo continued, ""a train car laden with heavy explosives bound for the dam effort went through the heart of Valencia at the peak of morning traffic. Since then, I learned that, if the car were to have exploded, some 500 people could have easily died. Such a thing would have certainly been a tragedy for the whole of the Republic; even so I was never directly informed. No one from the Ministry of Transportation barged unexcused into my office that morning - as you have today - demanding a word with me concerning this errant load of nitroglycerin. Instead, the relevant parties who are compensated to deal with these situations did exactly what they are compensated to do. The conductor was terminated for his negligence, stiffer regulations for reporting hazardous materials on train manifests will now work their way through the Senate, and I was none the wiser... and I am fine with that.""<br/><br/>Sotelo got up from his desk and made unbroken eye contact with the the aide, whose face was now a similar shade of red to the banners hanging behind Sotelo's desk. Though he was extremely thin, his lack of body fat left his face very pointed and menacing to look upon and he had several inches over most of his peers in height. He was an imposing man to behold, especially when being grilled like so.<br/><br/>""Can you imagine if every unfortunate thing to happen in this country had to be run by my desk before anything could be done about it? I can scarcely get what I need done as it is now."" The Prime Minister gestured to the typewriter and the half-completed document sprouting out from the slot at the top. ""If everyone from every ministry and office of this Republic impeded me so, nothing would be accomplished.""<br/><br/>""I'm terribly sorry, your Excellency.""<br/><br/>""No you are not. But if you are the cause for another needless distraction, then you will be."" Sotelo made his way to the door of the office and held it open for the aide. ""You are dismissed.""<br/><br/>The Prime Minister watched with satisfaction as the orderly all but ran out of his office; beads of sweat dripping down his blushing face. As his visitor shot briskly down the great, vaulted corridors, another lackey - this one with<i>Ejercito</i>medals decorating his tuxedo - jogged in the opposite direction.<br/><br/>""What now?"" Sotelo snarled.<br/><br/>""Admiral Santin has radioed in!"" The officer panted. ""He is preparing to engage assets of the Ethiopian Empire in the Suez Canal!."" Immediately, Sotelo's demeanor changed from one of irritation to alarm.<br/><br/>""Come in and patch him through at once."""
22025,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-07-04 23:54:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Tianjin, China</b><br/><br/>“Chairman.” an imposing military man said, bowing as he stepped into the room. Old leathery hands held to his breast a green cap as he bowed to Hou Sai Tang.<br/><br/>“Commander Shai Dek.” Hou said with a gentle, weak wave of his hand. He leaned back in his armchair as the commander stood up, placing his cap back on his balding crown.<br/><br/>Lou Shai Dek was a towering man, by Chinese standards. Once he would have been a strong man, and not just tall. Now all that remained of his youthful composure had simply melted from his body, as age does. He was senior to Hou in age, and it was dramatic in his face. Deep frowning lines ran deep around his eyes and mouth giving him a perpetual disapproving expression. Olive-tanned flabs of skin hung from his weary, long face.<br/><br/>The commander took a seat across from his chairman, and his own commander for well over twenty years now. Rain water dripped down from the shoulders of his ankle-long coat as he seated himself.<br/><br/>The two sat in long unresponsive silence for a time. Hardly the type of silence that was bitter, or regretful. Merely the kind that two old men shared to be in a single moment together. The sound of rain was light on the ceiling. And gentle on the windows.<br/><br/>A light spattering of spring rain pattered on the window. The droplets beaded against the glass, rolling into their tiny diamond balls to slink down to the sill. Beyond, the Bohai rolled gently in the spring storm. Its gray waters dipping and swelling.<br/><br/>“Have you heard the news.” Lou Shai Dek started, breaking the gentle cordial silence between them. His voice was hushed and careful.<br/><br/>“Africa?” Hou grunted. He rose his hand to his chin, stroking the long pointed beard that grew there. He had lost weight, Shai Dek could tell. His fingers were bonier, knuckles thicker. His face sagged tired. Was this what happens as great men grow older?<br/><br/>“Spanish naval forces are reported having crossed the Suez Canal.” the commander said, “There's an invasion of Ethiopia under way.”<br/><br/>“That's easy to figure out,” Hou laughed dryly, “you don't deploy a naval force for a date to tea. If you're not trying to impress someone, it's to cripple them. Next I imagine you'll suggest our strategic interests are at danger.”<br/><br/>“They are, but I also think the Spanish are over-estimating themselves.” Lou Shai Dek said confidently, he leaned himself back as he looked out the window to the storm outside, “They could rip up the coast, and threaten what economic relationship we have with Africa. But in the long term Sotelo's sending his men out to be stretched too thin.<br/><br/>“I doubt the Ethiopian army. A lot. But I don't doubt its jungle. Malaria and fever will be the one to defeat the Spanish. Not the Ethiopians.”<br/><br/>“We know they have chemical weapons though.” Hou replied bitterly, “If he wants it, he could have it.”<br/><br/>“We realize that, and it's certainly a factor. But I don't feel the Spanish have nearly enough VX to abort a third of Africa of all life. They won't be able to sufficiently sterilize Africa to make their job any easier.”<br/><br/>“So what are you asking we do?” Hou asked.<br/><br/>“Simply put, comrade, and friend.” Lou sighed, “We don't get involved. Not yet anyways.” The war may have just been declared but there's been not enough gains by either side to predict with absolute certainty the outcome of the war.<br/><br/>“And we're involved with Russia now. This couldn't have happened at a worse time.<br/><br/>“As it stands, if we do mobilize a naval contingent it may get there late. The Spanish will control enough of the coast to make a landing difficult.”<br/><br/>“We have to get involved though!” Hou pleaded. It was faint, almost well hidden. But the desperation in his voice was evident. It was one of the few doubts Lou Shai Dek had in his superior, his policy in regards to Africa. It was a violation of the Free Asia policy they had established over twenty years back.<br/><br/>“To what effect?” countered Lou, “I don't feel we have enough troops at this time to make a significant impact.<br/><br/>“If we must, I ask it's at a time that's when the Spanish are potentially at their weakest. Let time kill them now, we'll kill them later. This far away, there's only so little we can do. It'll take the better part of up to two weeks at best to successfully assemble a naval force and stock it with men for deployment.”<br/><br/>“What about Pemba though?” Hou asked, “How can we use the Pemba detachment.”<br/><br/>Lou had nearly forgot about Pemba. The reports from there had become few and far between. The latest dispatches from their shàojiàng Dezhi Cao that had made it as far as him were in regards to the Turks in their last breath. Otherwise, it was only safe to assume they went to his direct commander. “We don't have many men there.” Lou said, hesitantly, “Not nearly enough for a fighting force in the fields. In all respects, they're there to assist in training Ethiopian units. Pemba is hardly at a spot ideal for intercepting the Spanish armada. India maybe, but we both know how unlikely that is.”<br/><br/>“I realize that.” Hou rebuked, “But if we can fly in one extra supplies we can get them. Some support, munitions, men. Surely we can get them to a point they can have a proactive ground role. Not full combat by any means, but run support.”<br/><br/>“What sort were you thinking? Aerial recon?”<br/><br/>“Probably. Get something down to them to assist in directing the Ethiopian army. If we can kill them with time, as you hope, then maybe we can give Ethiopia a few more hours.”<br/><br/>“I'll get in touch with Commander Jang and Sing, see if they have resources that can be committed. We'll need to discuss our strategy though.”<br/><br/>“Which means a trip to Beijing, I understand.” nodded Hou, “I'll be kept up to date then with the rest of central command, until we meet?”<br/><br/>“If you have preference, then say. We'll work it out.” Lou Shai Dek invited.<br/><br/>“Sooner the better.” Hou sighed.<br/><br/>“Understood, comrade.” said Shai Dek.<br/><br/>“Then we've settled this?”<br/><br/>“I believe we have.” the commander said smiling. He leaned forward to pull himself out of his chair. Then the chairman rose a hand to beckon him to stay for a while longer.<br/><br/>“If I might ask you one more thing.” Hou started, “I have heard rumors of Zhang Auyi seeking my secretariat position when I retire. What are your thoughts on him?”<br/><br/>“Auyi?” Shai Dek said with a chuckle, “I certainly feel his heart bleeds, and he's damn young. Was when he was a provincial governor, still will be.” he laughed, “Why do you ask?”<br/><br/>“Oh... oh, no reason.” Hou Sai Tang mumbled quietly to himself.<br/><br/>The commander paused to consider. A dim shine of thought came on him and he nodded slightly to himself. “Though I must say, I am not an eager man to commit military assets to another war with the Japanese. As I hear in some rumors on some contestants.”<br/><br/>“And neither am I.” Hou said quietly, distantly. And he had the doubts in the proposition. He had settled peace with the Japanese on one formal occasion. There wasn't anything appealing in disregarding their agreement.<br/><br/><b>Northern Russia</b><br/><br/>Throwing himself down, the scout hit the ground with a hard thump. The ground was still cold with spring frost, and a crystal glaze painted the premature grass and twigs with a light white sheen. The entire air hung still. His breath the only disturbance in the cold morning air.<br/><br/>Wrapped around his neck, a heavy scarf shielded his neck and chin from the pervasive Russian cold. From below his helmet ran a wire as thick as his pinkie, hanging down before his mouth. A microphone half the size of his fist lingered at the end of the artificial antenna. And running down from under his helmet ran a light coiled cable that disappeared under his thick coat, only to appear again to connect to a box at his hip.<br/><br/>From under his helmet the light crackling of radio static helped to disband the pervasive cold silence of morning. The push of a pistol prodded into his leg from under his coat. He felt the hard metal press against his leg as he rolled onto his side, pulling from his coat a pair of binoculars.<br/><br/>“Field mouse calling to sparrow.” the soldier said, raising a hand to under his helmet and pressing the lens to his eyes. “I've reached the objective.”<br/><br/>There was a tense pause from the other end, static embedded itself in his ear as he waited. The anxious silence that churned in frothy auditory ambiance only reminded him just how uneasy he was with new things. And this was just another new thing.<br/><br/>“This is sparrow, copy.” the headset buried under his helmet chirped with electrical interference, “You may begin.”<br/><br/>The scout sighed under his breath. Adjusting the focus on his binoculars he looked into the near distance, where stood in cold defiance of nature the coldest stack of blocks he could claim to see. All around it for yards the trees were felled by the hundreds, creating an all-to-open field of view. Both for him, and to the multitude of watch towers that lined the distant buildings outer parameter.<br/><br/>“Objective is a large structure, surrounded on all sides by dense forest. Trees has been clear cut to approximately five-hundred meters from the base of the objective's outer barrier.”<br/><br/>He paused for a moment as he looked over the parameter wall. It really wasn't much. In places sheets of metal at best. In others frost-covered chain link fencing. Barbed wire covered the tops of the fencing. “Shit's defended by fencing, Sparrow.” the scout said disappointed, “It's patched in places with sheets of metal. Doesn't look like they were put up to keep people out, maybe animals more than man. Fence is maybe twenty meters tall, lined with barbed wire. Watch tower parameter. Spacing every thirty meters, maybe. I see guards.”<br/><br/>“Condition?”<br/><br/>“Poor, maybe.” the scout hesitantly reported. The men on the other side of his lenses moved about stiffly and tired. But there was a lot of them. Did they expect them at all?<br/><br/>“The men look beaten. Coats a little worn. Can't speak for their guns at their range. They walk with a slump, slowly. Plenty of them as far as I can see. Upwards of five in the towers. Teams of team patrolling the outside.<br/><br/>“No visible sniper positions or mortar nests on roof of their home, sir. But plenty of windows looking out over their fence.”<br/><br/>“Internal compound?”<br/><br/>“Open. Plenty of bunkers though. I see vehicles.” said the scout. Battered armored cars sat parked in still-melting piles of snow. They could be easily broken, though signs that they may still be in operation lingered. Teams dressed for mechanical work poked through the engine, like surgeons as they operated on a tender patient.<br/><br/>“Points of entry?” the radio asked.<br/><br/>“Sure, plenty if you ram a fucking buggy through.” the scout spat, half laughing.<br/><br/>“Fair enough, Field Mouse. Find somewhere else to sit. Continue to report in.”<br/><br/>“I'm frankly cold out here, could I come back after a hot meal?” the scout pleaded. There was long silence from the other end.<br/><br/>“Absolutely negative, private.” the radio responded, “Make Yun-qi happy and you'll get your meal.”<br/><br/><b>Yekaterinburg</b><br/><br/>There was not a light to see as Jun slid down the embankment to the factory. Under the darkened cover of the stormy night, the building stood in complete shadow. Even as the rain lifted providing a respite from the cold the clouds remained, blotting out the stars and the moon. There weren't even enough cars to illuminate the old highway that ran out past the factory. In the darkness he only knew he was on something when his feet hit the pavement of its broken parking lot.<br/><br/>It was like walking the edge of nothing and something. The asphalt had cracked and risen in over a dozen places as far as the agent could feel as he walked along its broken uneven. Glass crackled under foot as his boots crunched down on broken glass scattered in the cratered asphalt. And he found cracks and slabs of displaced paving so uneven that as he stepped down in the dark he feared for a brief moment he'd spill down a sharp cliff.<br/><br/>As with the bank, the thought was an all-to-numb reminder of his old missions in Tibet in its restoration to the Chinese state. The jagged rocks and the numb, wet break of his ankle. It wasn't the first time the Bureau learned he was numb. But it was the time that really reinforced that he needed to keep attention. All the same, with or without partner, he still needed to complete his task.<br/><br/>The parking lot, like all things, came to an eventual close. Like a silhouette against a greater darkness of the night he had walked to the front of a large trashcan. Water shimmered on its surface from the rain, and the faint highlights of the dim stormy sky suggested its lid was closed. Grumbling, he felt around the edge as he patted the cold iron shape before him, working along half-blind till his hands felt down the cold wet surface of chipped and broken concrete. A raised platform almost waist high stood infront of him.<br/><br/>Grunting, he hoisted himself over, reaching into his coat for a light; feeling safe he wasn't in the open anymore.<br/><br/>Tucked in one of a number of pockets on the inside of his heavy wool shin-length great coat he produced his light. A solid metal-cased flashlight, with a ninety-degree head. A flip of a switch later, and a spot of soft yellow-orange light highlighted the wet concrete of the loading dock he sat on. In front of him rusted gates hung with barely enough clearance for a man laying on his chest.<br/><br/>He squinted against the light as he looked closer at the narrow clearance. The rough cement and even the metal looked worn. It had been used, ever since the factory abandoned itself and the doors were left to this frozen state. He looked inside, there was dim lighting. Fire light perhaps. He felt satisfied that maybe things would continue on. But he'd need to set aside his pack.<br/><br/>He'd come back to get it later for the long hike. Radio back to Ulanhu his next lead. He'll get it to Beijing, somehow. The agent was confident in that much.<br/><br/>From his back the pack dropped as he gave a hearty relieved sigh. At his belt the bedding-wrapped scabbard of the Mao Dao he wore was readjusted, hanging at his side as opposed to hanging under his bags. And with a clatter, the rest was deposited into the nearby garbage cans, shut away from the cold wet air with the closing of the lid. Resting in the corner on a matte of gathering and compacting debris and detritus.<br/><br/>With the pack gone, Jun had little issue in passing under the gate and sliding into the dim room beyond.<br/><br/>His shoulders brushed the ground, pushing aside a collection of cast aside litter left on the floor. Cast away cigarette butts, packs, and the empty wrappings of broken bottles littered the cold wet floor of the factory. And among them, collecting in the corners were bundles and piles of rags and blankets slowly being eaten away by mold. Pornography had found its way inside, and faded once-glossy photos of women with large slavic breasts often decorated the cast away heaps of blankets and bags that lined up alongside the rusty frame-work shelves of more industrious days. Sagging concrete boxes stood in a sad decayed state alongside breaking and chaffing wooden crates, stripped clean of their contents.<br/><br/>And as the Intelligence Bureau agent walked into the light of low-burning barrels he noticed the soft glimmer of cast-away, rusting needles.<br/><br/>Burning barrels.<br/><br/>Jun looked up at the rusting steel barrels. They had become a common facet throughout Russia. In the cold of winter they were a communal object to warm near. In other ways they were lighting, now the street lights had gone dead in large swathes and ill-funded support no doubt rendered fire codes obsolete. And to see one burning was indication there was life.<br/><br/>The thought again that he was stepping closer to his goal came upon him. And it warmed inside as under his cold demeanor he smiled. Rather hopefully he thought to himself that it would only be a few names before he cut off the head of the organization. Hopefully made a power vacuum that his people could use to pacify the region. Many small fighting enemies was better than the two fighting ones that existed now.<br/><br/>But another part of himself advised cynically that it was never the easy. It wasn't ever. He'd break his leg again if he did it wrong. That's what it told him.<br/><br/>Drips of water fell from the ceiling and the light pattering of fallen drops echoed over the empty factory floor. From around the abandoned husks of machines long abandoned; too big to scavenge and scrap wholesale so they remained like fossils of a more industrious era. Forklifts with their tires stripped of their rubber sat rusting in the middle of the room. Obscene slogans scrawled over every surface in massive, drunken Russian scrawl.<br/><br/>No one would come in here. No one but him. No one but the men he wanted. It was surreal. It was haunting. It was a testament to failure. And failure could not be had.<br/><br/>As he made it deeper in, he kept closer to the walls. Soon folding up into the shadows. In the echoing cavern of the abandoned plant, lit by the weak fires sound could be heard. Above the idle dripping of a leaking roof, laden with rain water. But voices, faint and distant.<br/><br/>Keeping low, he went deeper in. Tucking his hand into his coat to where his handgun was holstered. Hunched near the cold walls, stepping to the side as he closed in on the source.<br/><br/>The deeper Jun got into the factory, the clearer the spectral voices got. The more distinct the notes and the more defined the levels. A softened echo sharpened to clarity as between the pipes and the cables he wound. Over discarded roles of heavy chain and heavy equipment left to lie on the floor. And pressing against the edge of the wall the agent produced his pistol. The sound of the music that had summoned him into the factory's depth reached the full clarity of its siren's song.<br/><br/>A deep Russian chorus, flecked with the distinct grainy quality reserved for vinyl. The haunting voices sung across the empty floor as he hung back and listened. And he wondered. He wondered if this was some trick, casting him off the trail. How stupid it would be, how stupid it'd be.<br/><br/>Slowly he turned the corner, holding his breath as the handgun hung at his side. He peeked around the corner. Looking out onto the floor.<br/><br/>There stood a man.<br/><br/>His back was turned, head dropped over a vinyl player that had clearly seen better days. The needle rose and fell over an uneven vinyl disc. As it followed the wavy features of the player so did the tone and the notes, warbling so very softly in time with the song. And wavering to the swaying notes the man danced as he swayed against the rickety table the player was mounted on.<br/><br/>“So you haven't left.” the man at the player said suddenly, freezing Jun at the corner. Silence fell on the room with a sudden clap as the man pulled the needle from the record.<br/><br/>“I had half hoped you would be back in Beijing when you two disappeared.” he added, “But I suppose that explains why some of our men kept being found dead.”<br/><br/>Slowly the man rose his head, turning. But as he came to the light, his face was not that of a man, but a horse. Rising from behind his shoulders the mangled head of a horse rose, mouth hanging agape and mangled. Lifeless and stunned with glassy eyes. The deathly sagging face turned with lively speed as he turned towards Jun.<br/><br/>“So why are you here,<i>Kosoglazye</i>?” he growled. The mouth of the horse never moving, just hanging agape. Inside dark shadows loomed on the dead tongue of the stunned, beheaded horse.<br/><br/>Jun breathed heavily as his hand tightened around his gun. His finger wrapped around the trigger as he readied to raise the hand gun.<br/><br/>“Do not move that arm.” the man barked loudly, “There are five men above you now who'll shoot you down if you so much as move. And I want answers, chink. Before I kill you as you killed Alexios.”<br/><br/>“How the fuck did you know?” Jun grumbled.<br/><br/>The man with the mangled horse head laughed bitterly as he walked along the side of the record player. He dragged a black gloved hand along the wood of the table. “Because I just do.” the man asked. His other hand rose to the buttons of his black-stripped suit as he leaned against the player.<br/><br/>“And you are Loshad Isetov?”<br/><br/>“Fuck, are you really this stupid!?” the man cackled, “I shouldn't pass it on an oriental though. Smaller than us, smaller brains!<br/><br/>“No. I saw you at Dimitri's.”<br/><br/>“Wraith?”<br/><br/>“Don't forget.” the enforcer crooned unhappily, “Want to talk?”<br/><br/>“Where's Loshad?”<br/><br/>“And get shot? No. I don't think I'll say.” the ghostly man replied, “But I got questions for you, who are<i>you</i>?” he asked. His hand dipped into his coat. “I know you're Chinese. No doubt Bureau!” he shouted, pulling out a stunted and blackened pistol, “And you're somebody if you're not crawling back to Beijing already!”<br/><br/>“I'm not you.” Jun shouted back.<br/><br/>“And neither am I you.” replied Wraith, “Now come out here into the light, Kosoglazye.”<br/><br/>Jun was apprehensive. His palms sweated around his gun as he hung back. The Wraith stood in the open, his arms held up invitingly. His pistol, some semi-automatic clearly brandished in the fire light that lit the room.<br/><br/>Jun knew he shouldn't. The floor was far too open. If the man was right, he'd be in a cross fire. But the man was quiet, and patient. Somehow he felt he wasn't going to kill him. Not here or right now. Something was going on.<br/><br/>Hesitantly he stepped out onto the floor, walking over the worn and stripped tracks that would have been used to move the factory's tanks from one stage to another. “So where is Loshad Isetov?” Jun growled.<br/><br/>“By now he would be half way to Perm.” laughed the Wraith. His laugh was cold, as dead as the head he wore over his head.<br/><br/>“Where at?” Jun asked.<br/><br/>“Do you know who you're fighting?” asked the Wraith with the aggressive bite of a snake, “We aren't your untamed Red Guard. We're not street thugs. My betters would rather want one of you fuckers to go home alive with the message first before we mail you back in pieces!<br/><br/>“China can't make us weaker. To the contrary they've mode us stronger. You really rose the bar on criminal quality in Asia, Kosoglazye. You raise to your challenge, or we rot like the Yakuza.”<br/><br/>“What exactly do you want?” asked Jun.<br/><br/>“We want you gone.” the Wraith replied, “We want the Chinese presence in Russia gone. And I got my orders. What about you?”<br/><br/>“I got mine as well.”<br/><br/>“Then we're both honor bound.” he laughed. “Do you have family?”<br/><br/>“No.” replied Jun.<br/><br/>“Then no one will miss you when we take you apart, piece by piece.” the Wraith cackled, his gun rose.<br/><br/>Jun's grip on his handgun remained firm. He looked about, looking for an escape. There was only the door he had come through, and the continuing system of workstations to his left. His heart beat in his chest. Steadying his breath he studied the rest of the room. It couldn't be this open.<br/><br/>The ceiling was a dark mask of shadows cast back against the wall and the ceiling by the faint fires the dotted the open room. A slick black slather of inky shadow obscured the high steel-rung ceiling above, from which chains and heavy equipment hung, waiting to be disassembled.<br/><br/>“So if you're going to kill me, when are you going to start?” demanded Jun. His revolver rose in equal to his rivals. The two squared off across the concrete like cowboys in the old west.<br/><br/>“We don't make the first shot count.” Wraith said, “It's not an inability on our part, it's a preference. So no, here you're not going to die. I can't say where you will die, but it won't be here.”<br/><br/>“I don't think you'll be too happy with me.” countered Jun. He looked above the well dressed figure of his horse-headed adversary. Scanning up to the lingering equipment on the ceiling above. In the faint light, just before the chains ran out of the sight. That's where he made his mark. The Wraith was taking his time. Was he waiting for Jun's first move.<br/><br/>Water dripped. Ticking away like in an hour class. The wet splashes echoed back through the building and its rusting shell. Jun's revolver went up, catching the light. Both he and the Russian stepped aside. But Jun's barrel went higher, faster.<br/><br/>With a crash the muzzle of his gun flashed, exploding in fire and sound as with a crack it fired its bullet. Sparks and a hearty metallic snap sprang in the air followed by a heavy groaning tumbling.<br/><br/>In his evident hesitation the Wraith recoiled as it jumped out of the way of the chain tumbling down by the yard from the ceiling. The watery crash of chain against the ground nearly muted the pop fro him side-arm and the shrill whisk of the bullet as it raced passed Jun's face. Dusty concrete, dirt, mildew, and rust bloomed in the air as the magnetic fist of a ceiling-mounted crane swung to the ground, pulling with it a chain reaction of crumbling industry that rained down. The factory was filled with the roar of steel and iron as the roof dropped its load, cables tugged at the supports, pulling from the ceiling the gear they operated or held. Imperial code came raining in a crash as the cat walks on the side of the room lit up in shrill flashes of muzzle fire. In the storm some cried angrily to kill Jun as he ducked into a sprint and ran through the weapon's fire. The hot trails after the bullets raced passed his face and tore into his coat. He felt the wet, warm spattering of something in his shoulder, recoiling him against the far side of a thick iron support column.<br/><br/>Bullets rang off the thick metal. Clumps of cement fanned out as stray rounds flew passed. As the steel settled and no longer muted out the gun fire the sounds of shouting echoed out over the cacophony. Jun looked down, the way he came looked so close by. The pile of debris had partially filled the gargantuan entrance way, allowing considerable cover should he reach there. But as the bullets whistled and whipped past, cracking the air and splitting the cement the distance seemed so far. Yet there was hardly a choice to make.<br/><br/>He peeked out around the girder. Muzzle flash lit the the wall on the far side. The golden blooms of spirited fire illuminating the men there. They had to know he was coming. There wasn't any other way. Even the Wraith knew. They were ready.<br/><br/>(<a href=""https://youtu.be/oti2lKLFyxs"">Action Tiem</a>)<br/><br/>Acting on the sheer urgency demanded he swung from cover, raising the gun and firing back. Running to the side as he did. He didn't place his shots, he didn't aim. He merely needed the cover demanded of him to get across to the next pylon. The ambushers recoiled back against his volley. And if hidden in the night one may have dropped before he fell in before the heavy beam.<br/><br/>The Changu revolver smoked hot in his hand as he opened the chamber, dispensing the six spent casings onto the ground. Sickly and silken streams of cordite smoke lingered up from the brass as they clattered against the floor and he reloaded the pistol with another set of fresh rounds. Sliding each bullet into the chamber with a skilled finesse and cold familiarity with the hot metal.<br/><br/>With a soft click the cylinder was back in and the gun loaded. Above him on the catwalk footsteps shuddered along. The metal clanked and clashed against itself as boots moved along above. It sounded like they were moving to cut him off. Weapons fire continued in a bid to keep him suppressed.<br/><br/>Leaning to the side he fired a couple quick rounds. Taking control of his shaking breath he twisted back to cover and ran at a full tilt for the next support. Diving into a tumbling slide. The concrete brushed hard against him, and the landing shook through to his bones as he threw himself up and rolled in.<br/><br/>Jun pulled himself in behind the column, pulling in his legs as a line of bullets traced themselves across the concrete to where he was. Panting he pulled himself up. His heart was racing. Galloping in his chest as he looked down the last stretch. If they were looking to cut him off there wasn't any time to loose.<br/><br/>“He's moving fast!” one of his assailants shouted in thick Russian.<br/><br/>He looked out to the larger floor. Dark shapes moved along the cat walk above fixing for a different angle. He had to keep his momentum up.<br/><br/>Pushing away from the pillar the gun rose. He fired a pair of shots before dashing the last few minutes. Turning on his heels as bullets danced by. Rising on his toes as he fired a few last shots before bounding over a jutting slab of metal and turning into cover.<br/><br/>He turned just in time to see a man with a wooden horse mask descend on him with an assault rifle raised over his head like a club. Jun had split seconds to act as the stock of the weapon arced through the air. Jun threw himself at him, pushing into his body with his shoulder, butting through the swing of his arm with a shudder and throwing the gun loose from his hands.<br/><br/>As he staggered back Jun reached for his sword, unsheathing it before the Mafiya could recover and cutting it through his belly. He let out a desperate scream as the silvery, polished metal stained itself with his blood as he tore open by its long curved blade.<br/><br/>The ambusher recoiled back as he held back his stomach, giving Jun time to turn to make his escape, cutting back through the way he had come. The sounds of foot steps rose to accommodate the cavernous factory as he ran, his assailants giving chase.<br/><br/>A bullet clattered off a shelving unit as he ran by. Turning on his heels Jun fired back. Putting two rounds into the chest of a horse-masked pursuer. He fell to the ground in a defeated slump as he continued. The pursuit continued, and the shouts echoed through.<br/><br/>An arm swung out from behind a stack of crates, clothes lining the agent as he ran passed. His breath escaped in one wet gasp. His eyes widened as he was torn off of his feet, falling to the ground on his back. As his ass hit the cold wet cement reflex fired a round, which ricocheted blindly off the ground.<br/><br/>He was staring at the ceiling now, his throat clenched shut as he gasped for air. A large brute of a man hung over him in a long coat, raising what looked to be a harpoon to finish him off. But before he could drop the spear on him the roar of his pistol cleaved his head in two. Gore and gray matter spattered out the back of his head. Blood poured from the cavernous hole and out his nose and mouth as he fell back with a wet splat.<br/><br/>Strained for breath Jun staggered to his feet, turning to another attacker charging at him. Rifle raised over his shoulder. Jun staggered on his feet, throwing the gun to the ground as he took his sword in both hands. With a yell the Russian lunged at him, the rifle beginning an arc through the air for Jun's head. What it met instead was the cold flash of steel as it swept the air, catching the man's arms mid-swing, cutting them free from his body at the elbows.<br/><br/>He screamed in shock and pain as they fell free. Jun twisted the sword and made an efforted thrust. The tip of the blade pierced his chest, skewering him like a roasted pig. He choked, and spat blood as he rolled back off the sword to the ground.<br/><br/>He turned to run, only to see another charge from the side, through the aisle. A hatchet flew through the air, missing Jun's head by inches. He pulled out a pistol, but the IB agent was on him before he could pull back the safety. His head left his shoulders.<br/><br/>Jun pulled back, running over the body whose head he had turned into a gourd. Bending down to pick up his gun from the pool of blood which spread from his limp body. Shaking it off he slipped it into his coat and kept moving.<br/><br/>He found the loading gate he had come to earlier and slide underneath. He felt the metal tickle the tip of his nose as he passed, rolling to his chest and throwing himself up. His feet found the edge of the loading dock before he could and he stumbled to the rough ground below. Outside the voices of angered enforcers bellowed in the darkness as he scrambled for his feet. Tearing to the dumpster he hid his stuff in.<br/><br/>He threw back the lid and blindly grabbed inside. He found nothing. His heart stopped and his breath heaved as it had when it was tripped at the neck. He felt around the padded musty garbage that lined the bin, but could not for his own life find it. The harsh ring of a bullet on the side of the trash bin reminded him that he had better things to worry about, and with what little he had he pulled himself out and ran."
22026,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-07-05 03:43:00,TheEvanCat,"<b>Shusha, Armenia</b><br/><br/>He had been two weeks removed from the military world and already, Haroud Abbasian was bored. He was bored when he rode his bicycle to the logging camp in town. He was bored when he took his little sister to the market to pick up groceries: always the same order of stores with the butchery, produce stand, general store, bakery, and liquor store. He was bored when he walked the dog around the same mountain path every day. He was bored when he sat in the yard and watched the birds circle over the valley. He was bored when he read the same books he read when he was in secondary school. What was there to do in Shusha, a logging village far removed from the capital of Stepanakert? No clubs or hobbies. There was a football pitch, but he couldn't find enough people his age to play with - the loggers were mostly the ones too old to be conscripted or had some sort of injury that rendered unto them a medical exemption. Many of them had back injuries, which meant that they could drive trucks filled with logs but couldn't do anything else. They mostly drank at one of the two bars in town, which Haroud often frequented. He frequently thought of going back to the military world to alleviate his boredom. He was still young and fit: he could reenlist. So after work one day he headed to the recruiter's building - a shack in the center of town with posters adorning the sides - and left his contact information for the chain-smoking Sergeant at the counter. The Sergeant simply nodded and said that if they were interested someone would swing by.<br/><br/>And someone did. It was the afternoon of a particularly slow Saturday when Haroud heard a knock at the door. He was home alone, reading the newspaper and listening to the radio. After rising from the sofa and pulling up his sagging pants, Haroud pushed his way through the door to the main hallway and went to open up the red wood front door. In front of him were two military men, a staff car pulled up in the driveway. A third man could be seen smoking a cigarette while leaning on the car, staring at the mountains in front of him. The two men at the door - their insignia identified themselves as a Sergeant First Class and a Major - nodded at the unshaven veteran in front of them. ""This is the residence of Haroud K. Abbasian, former Corporal in the Armenian Army?"" the Sergeant asked. He spoke with a deeply Azeri accent for some inexplicable reason. The other peculiarity was that he was the only one to wear the characteristic regimental shoulder insignia of the 1st Recruitment Regiment. His left shoulder had the same provincial recruiting battalion - the 5th ""Artsakh"" Battalion. The rest bore an unfamiliar logo of a hawk perched atop a star with olive branches encircling it, all emblazoned on a shield-shaped patch. At the top was their name: ""FOREIGN LEGION."" This was a mild shock to Haroud, because he remembered no such organization existing during his service.<br/><br/>""Good afternoon, sirs,"" Abbasian said as he nodded. Suddenly self-conscious of his rather casual wear, he invited them inside: ""Would you like some coffee? I just brewed a new pot and it'd be a crime not to offer it.""<br/><br/>The Sergeant nodded and accompanied the Major inside. He was an older man who had tucked his combination cover underneath his arm as he moved through the house, examining the various pictures and paintings that hung on the wall. A short man of curly black hair topped his head, over brown eyes - serious and with tired bags hanging underneath - and a hawkish nose. Abbasian rushed in front of them to turn off the radio and head into the kitchen for the coffee while he instructed the officer and his NCO to sit down. A few seconds later he returned with a tray. The third man from the staff car was still outside, smoking. The NCO politely declined to sit, instead standing stoically by the Major with his arms behind his back and his feet shoulder-width apart. He, too, inspected the family's decorations. He didn't talk much: he left that task up to the Major who was sipping the bitter black coffee out of a white ceramic mug, being careful not to spill it on his immaculately pressed and creased uniform. Abbasian took a seat in the chair next to the sofa, leaning forward and intertwining his fingers in anticipation of what the Major had to say. He certainly hadn't experienced this when he was drafted. It was a cold, impersonally typed letter from the Government Service Agency and a timetable for the local railway station with the 1600 train to Nakhchivan highlighted.<br/><br/>""Mister Abbasian, it has come to our attention that you were chaptered out of the Army at the rank of... Corporal, is that right?"" began the Major. His voice was calm yet authoritative: he knew exactly what he was doing.<br/><br/>""Yes, sir, that was about three weeks ago after the Battle of Erzurum. I was an artilleryman: a joint fires observer for the self-propelled howitzer battalion attached to the 4th Cavalry.""<br/><br/>""We have your records on file, Mister Abbasian,"" the Major said. He motioned over to the Sergeant First Class who agreed silently. Could he even talk? ""We must note that you performed admirably during the battle and showed valor during your participation. The fact that you went above and beyond your duties as an artilleryman were defining factors of your excellence. What say you?""<br/><br/>""Sir?"" stuttered Abbasian. He didn't like to talk about Erzurum. He had participated in the convoys into the city after he had called in artillery strikes on the airfield. When the Armenian cavalry unit was shut down on Highway One leading through the city, the 4th was called to flank from the south and relieve pressure. When the 4th's premier combat elements were hit by a Turkish fortification that was locking down a major intersection, the artillery units were called in. Their mobile mortar systems - based on the same Polish armored vehicle chassis as the rest of the APCs - were ordered to dump their artillery guns at the airfield and make space for wounded. What happened next was six hours of intense urban combat as the inexperienced artillerymen thrust their way gingerly through gaps - often found by trial and error - in the Turkish defenses. House-to-house fighting managed to eliminate concentrated defensive buildings and give some leeway for Armenian rescue efforts. Abbasian, despite being a Corporal, was given command of a handful of vehicles after their platoon leader's radio went silent. The Lieutenant hadn't died, they later learned, but his radioman's manpack was taken out by a piece of rebar flying at unfathomable speeds. Abbasian, thinking on his feet, decided that his role in the command vacuum was to take charge and move out.<br/><br/>He convinced the drivers of the vehicles to head towards where the first elements of the 4th's pincer were pinned down at the most dangerous intersection in the city. He personally launched a rocket that took down the entire facade of the Turkish-held building and bought enough time for the soldiers to retrieve wounded personnel and the corpses of those who had died. They ferried them back to the airfield where air assault helicopters full of fresh supplies and troops were landing amidst fire from emplaced 23mm autocannons located to the western hills, far away from the city and camouflaged against the fluttering observer planes and their artillery-bringing red smoke rockets. Thirteen helicopters had taken fire - two were fatal crashes to all onboard while four more crashed and killed only half of the occupants. Those helicopters brought fresh troops and left with casualties. Those who weren't reinforcing the airfield rode<i>desantniki</i>with the Armenian cavalry units: dozens of them hung onto the sides and sat on the roofs of personnel carriers hurtling throughout the city. Two platoons' worth of disorganized infantrymen had coalesced under Abbasian's makeshift rescue party and had taken up positions to suppress Turkish snipers shooting at the 4th. While he hadn't actually taken any fire, a piece of rock had knocked his helmet askew as a rocket brought down his building's balcony while he talked calmly over the radio. This had taken up the better part of his experience with the battle, and he was eventually relieved by a column of heavy tanks that happened to be on nearby Highway 1.<br/><br/>The sudden arrival of the tankers managed to scare away the rest of the Turkish forces into their battlegroups at the west end of the city, and so the 4th was saved. Abbasian managed to direct the survivors back to the airbase before reporting in to the company commander - Captain Manetas. The undeniably shocked Captain took the troops under his command to replace holes in his element before dismissing Abbasian to the hospital after asking about the dent his helmet. Ostensibly, Captain Manetas wanted Abbasian checked for a concussion - he had none -, but he really just wanted the soldier out of the way to avoid going on another rescue mission. The report had immediately struck Manetas as irresponsible with men and materiel because Abbasian was risking Manetas's equipment to save another element. While it was wonderful that it worked out, his reputation as an officer would have been on the line if Abbasian had killed eighty men. Manetas forgot to write a citation for anything - bravery in combat or discipline for disobeying orders - as he carried on directing his troops in battle and so the incident was officially never reported. Abbasian didn't like to talk about Erzurum, steadfastly assuring curious people that he had stared at the city through a pair of binoculars for the entire time. The event was brought to the Army's attention when an officer heard from an NCO in his platoon that there had been a daring rescue of the trapped 4th personnel. That rumor went all the way up in the weeks following the battle, until a Colonel working for the administration managed to pin down Abbasian as the leader.<br/><br/>""We have been informed of your actions during the battle and were impressed,"" the Major repeated. ""In our after action reports we have decided to offer a few things to you in exchange for something I'll tell you very soon. One of those is a citation for valor and a medal. The other is a battlefield meritorious promotion to First Lieutenant.""<br/><br/>Abbasian leaned forward from the sofa, his eyebrows raised and a look of shock in his eyes. This wasn't something that happened often. He had never heard about anything like that in the Armenian military. No training, no orientation, no anything. Were his actions really warranting of such praise? Who had decided to do this? Once again, he asked why. And that was the only word he could utter: ""Why?""<br/><br/>""You've demonstrated leadership capabilities and tactical thinking on par with what we expect for officers,"" the Sergeant First Class finally said. ""You managed to rally almost a hundred men to go into extreme danger that they might not return from. If you can get people to follow you to Hell and back, you can do anything. That's what the basis for the promotion was, anyways. Those are skills that would be put to waste as a Corporal. We need people like you.""<br/><br/>""Particularly where we come from,"" the Major continued. He reached into his pocket and withdrew some sort of metal pin before handing it to Abbasian. It was a unit crest like the one adorning Abbasian's dusty uniform currently hanging aloof in the attic. Just like the sleeve insignia, it bore the words ""FOREIGN LEGION"" and the unique emblem.<br/><br/>""Sir, I've never heard of a Foreign Legion,"" Abbasian stated with confusion as he turned the device over in his hands. He looked over at the Major. ""Is this new?""<br/><br/>""Fairly,"" the Major replied. ""It began as a concept thought up at the commands because of the sheer volume of foreign nationals looking to join the Armenian military for a fast-track to citizenship. Many of them come from Syria and other parts of the Middle East, and I understand that you are at least partly of Syrian descent. You also noted on your enlistment papers that you speak Arabic. Thus we decided to come for you after you put in your information to the recruiter to reenlist. Because of your unique linguistic skills and your service record, we want you to form the officer corps of our new organization. You'd have to teach the recruits Armenian, but also to fight and lead. Because there's a certain societal stigma around foreigners, our mission is to prove ourselves as fierce and elite fighters. If you're a Legionnaire, you are to be respected. Really, the French have been doing this since the 19th century, which is where our idea came from. It's also a way to help assimilate people into our society. From the political perspective, it may be seen as strengthening the fabric of unity for the government. Culturally, it makes sense: we're a mongrel ethnicity of all sorts of groups. We're Persians, Russians, Greek, Mediterranean, and to some extent Turkish. It's not like we're one skin color like the Chinese or Ethiopians. So if someone wants to be Armenian, we'll goddamn let them be Armenian.""<br/><br/>""And you can help be the bridge that gets them there, so to speak,"" the Sergeant First Class clarified. ""With your new Lieutenant bars, you're going to be a teacher and a leader. In addition, we've structured the Legion as a rather unconventional place. It's different from the regular Army. It's a place for special tactics and equipment and personnel. It's a lot freer and looser to better give the capabilities for people to grow and fight. A lot less regulated, so to speak.""<br/><br/>""Purely off the record, of course,"" the Major added with a grin. ""Can't let the regular Army know we let our officers go clubbing on the weekends and don't immediately fire them for coming into work on Monday unshaven.""<br/><br/>The sales pitch was definitely attractive. More money, more responsibility, more freedom, and a way out of what was quickly becoming a menial job driving trucks for the lumber company. The military always felt somehow right to Abbasian: he felt like he had a purpose. Now, despite what he was told, homefront work was meaningless to him. On a conscious level, he understood that they needed lumber for their country. But deep inside he found no joy in serving his country that way. He did find purpose in holding a gun and walking alongside fellow military men. He felt like he belonged. There was a saying that you never really left the military. You just took a break.<br/><br/>""I'll think about it,"" replied Abbasian as he sipped his coffee. ""I have some loose ends I need to tie up before I head off again. Now, where did you say that the Legion's headquarters was?""<br/><br/>""The Legion is officially headquartered at Joint Base Sevan Lake, and we do training operations in the countryside around the area,"" the Major said.<br/><br/>""Sevan Lake, huh? That's close to here.""<br/><br/>""A few hours on the train. Not bad at all. I'm from Stepanakert, myself,"" the Sergeant stated with a nod. He ran a hand through his curly hair before continuing: ""You can easily visit your family and friends here on leave time. If we aren't running operations on the weekends you can ride down here and be back on Monday morning.""<br/><br/>""Alright,"" repeated Abbasian. ""I'll let you know. If I give the recruiter a call will it transfer over to you?""<br/><br/>""Yes, it can be sent to my office,"" the Major affirmed. Then, sensing that the conversation was ending, he stood up. Smoothing the wrinkles on his green jacket, he held out his hand: ""Thank you for the coffee, Mister Abbasian.""<br/><br/>""Thank you for the offer, sir,"" Abbasian answered as he shook the Major's hand. It was a firm, confident shake. No amateurism here. ""I just need to talk to my family.""<br/><br/>""That's not a problem. I'll expect a call sometime this week?""<br/><br/>""Certainly, sir. Alright, take care.""<br/><br/>The Major and his NCO left shortly thereafter, getting into the staff car while the third man flicked his cigarette and got into the driver's seat. The engine rumbled to life, and the car backed out of the gravel driveway. A fog had been encroaching into the valley, blanketing the dark green forest with a layer of cool mist. Abbasian stood outside on the railing of his house, watching the car drive away on the winding, snakelike road that hugged the edge of the nearby mountain. A First Lieutenant? It was responsibility. It was a career. It was money. The prospect was attractive, despite what he thought when he got out of the service the first time. But what would his family think? Well, there wasn't really anything stopping him. He was the a young man and his parents would go along with what he did. This stood in stark contrast to his sister, who was still controlled by her somewhat protective mother. And he found that he had no friends in the town: only work acquaintances. He hadn't been out to do anything with them. They had their own circles of friends: fellow conscientious objectors or medical invalids who were deemed unfit for military service. Abbasian found himself as bored and lonely as he'd ever been. There was nothing besides his family to tie him down to Shusha. And after all, he could always come back and visit. It was that thought that finally convinced him: he could go back and do it. He would take the commission and go to train the Foreign Legionnaires. It would be a good experience for him, albeit unexpected. A year ago, when he was first drafted, he expected a quick in and out. They would win the war, and he would go home.<br/><br/>Except life doesn't always work that way."

The servants all clung to the walls, not daring to possibly get in the way of this familial dispute. It was only when the king threw himself forward, tackling Ferdinand to the ground that they slowly made their way out of the room, returning to their duties.<br/><br/>Standing up, while holding his sons arms in a vice grip, Vlad glowered down at his son, who could see the metaphorical steam being emitted from his fathers nose with how flared his nostrils were. This was a look that Ferdinand had grown to know well, and, if he could learn anything from the past, it meant that something bad was about to happen to him. Wanting to get an upper hand, foolishly, the prince spoke first.<br/><br/>""Father, let me just say, that I am truly, deeply sorry. I... I was just so happy to see her again, and with me going of to enlist next month, I wanted to spend as much time with her before then as I could. Also, I-"" the prince said, stopping at the end, with a strong feeling of unease. Looking up at his father, Ferdinand didn't see the angry eyes he was expecting to meet with, but instead, was met with a smirk, and a chuckle from his father.<br/><br/>""Oh, you don't even realize how much of a hole you dug yourself, boy. I told you, all I wanted from you was to cooperate with me for this one, little event. That's all I asked of you, and you went and fucked that up. You really think I am letting you off the hook if you apologize?""<br/><br/>""Well..."" Ferdinand said, sheepishly. ""I... I thought that if I expressed just how sorry I am... If I pointed out that I was just happy to see my girlfriend, then, maybe...""<br/><br/>""Maybe? Maybe what? Maybe I wouldn't make you stay home and do work around the castle? Maybe I wouldn't give one of the servants a paid vacation, and force you to do their work?"" Chucking with hearty laughter, Vlad patted his sons shoulders heavily.<br/><br/>""Boy. You aren't a boy anymore. You had an entire childhood to learn about consequences, but it seems none of that stuck. So... How about this? This time, you won't have to do any work whatsoever. In fact... How about you go meet up with your girlfriend and spend the day together?""<br/><br/>Concerned, confused and slightly scared, Ferdinand raised an eyebrow. ""...Really?""<br/><br/>""Really."" replied Vlad, completely honest.<br/><br/>""No punishment?""<br/><br/>""None.""<br/><br/>""... What's the catch?""<br/><br/>Laughing, Vlad bent over so his eyes were level with his sons. In a serious tone, he gave his son a hint as to what his intentions were.<br/><br/>""Ferdinand. Go spend time with your girlfriend, while you still can. Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day. So, if I were you, I would get going. Okay?""<br/><br/>Eyes widening, Ferdinand paused for a second to think, while mindlessly nodding.<br/><br/>""Good. Now, get going. You can even take the car, if you want.""<br/><br/>Nodding just once more, Ferdinand slowly turned, and walked out the door, thoughts racing through his head.<br/><br/>""No... It... It can't be... He wouldn't... Would he?""<br/><br/><b>Two hours later, at an elegant restaurant in Bucharest</b><br/><br/>Ferdinand stood outside a restaurant, dressed in a very formal suit and tie, hair slicked back, and just generally looking as nice as possible. He nervously tapped his foot on the sidewalk, as he scanned the streets, looking around for a certain vehicle. Seconds later, he caught sight of it, as well as it's passenger. Sitting in the back was Adrianna, her dark brown hair slightly curled, and flowing to one side of her face with the wind. When the vehicle carrying her stopped, Ferdinand was sure to be outside, ready to give her his arm, and help her out.<br/><br/>""M'lady"" He said, with a smile, which she returned tenfold, while using his arm to help herself to the ground outside, revealing a marvelous green dress.<br/><br/>""Like it?"" She asked Ferdinand, who wan standing there quietly. ""Well?""<br/><br/>Snapping out if it, Ferdinand replied in a slightly sarcastic tone. ""Well... Well! Clearly you look so amazing, I was stunned speechless!""<br/><br/>After a small laugh together, Ferdinand took his girlfriend by the arm, and used the other one to prompt them forward. ""Shall we go inside, now?""<br/><br/>Nodding, Adrianna let Ferdinand lead her inside the building, which, to her surprise, was completely empty.<br/><br/>""Isn't this place normally so full, you have to wait?"" She asked, slightly shocked.<br/><br/>""Well... I, uh... I made a request of them, as well as the other patrons, and they all agreed. So... We have this place to ourselves tonight.""<br/><br/>Giggling slightly, she looked at Ferdinand, and was about to ask something, but, seeing a nervous look on his face, she decided not to ask, and just smiled at him.<br/><br/>""So. What's on the menu tonight?""<br/><br/>Smiling at her, Ferdinand happily replied. ""French cuisine.""<br/><br/>Sitting down after helping Adrianna to her seat, the two began to browse the menu toghether, while laughing and making jokes. Once the food arrived, they sat and enjoyed their meals together. Once the dinner portion was done, the table was cleared, and they were left alone while desert was prepared.<br/><br/>""Um... Adrianna... I have something important to tell you.""<br/><br/>Concerned, she nodded. ""What is it?""<br/><br/>Gulping, and then letting out a nervous sigh, Ferdinand looked her in the eyes, not letting the contact break.<br/><br/>""Well... I don't know exactly if my guess is right, but with how my father is, I can only assume it is true."" Sighing once more, the prince continued. ""Adrianna. Earlier tonight, my father told me that, as punishment for sneaking out with you on my birthday, I was not going to be punished. I would have no spare work around the castle. Nothing. He just told me that I should enjoy myself with you while I can.""<br/><br/>Eyes widening, what was left of Adrianna's smile faded. ""Go on.""<br/><br/>""Well... I can only come to once conclusion. I think that my father spoke with General Pauker, and got me placed into the army earlier than he promised. He... He made it sound like I am getting shipped off tomorrow.""<br/><br/>Jaw dropping, Adrianna shook her head. ""No way... He can't do that, can he!?""<br/><br/>""Anna. He's the king. He can do whatever he wants, especially when it comes to me, and nobody will question him. I mean... Mom might have fought him on it, but once he decides something, there's usually no going back. When I was leaving, the servants were all giving me apologetic looks, so it seems likely.""<br/><br/>""But!"" Ferdinand said, the tone of his voice changing, along with his posture straightening, and him changing to smiling. ""Because of that, there is something I want- no. Something I need to ask you.""<br/><br/>Letting go of Adrianna's hand, Ferdinand stood up, and walked over to her side, kneeling down and reaching inside of his coat.<br/><br/>""Now... I'm pretty shitty when it comes to things like this, so you'll have to excuse me. And we both know if I tried to say any more than this, i would trip over my words, and mess the whole thing up, so I'm just going to be blunt, and straightforward.""<br/><br/>Pulling out a small, black box, Ferdinand looked up into Adrianna's eyes, which were looking back down at his, looking both amazed, shocked and terrified.<br/><br/>""Adrianna. I know that we are young, and that this will probably be something outrageous to hear, but please bare with me. I love you, and have loved you since the day I met you. I am dreading life without you when I leave, just as I did those three months before my birthday. I honestly still can't believe myself that I am about to ask this, but I feel that it is only right, given the circumstances. It can't happen anytime soon, but I feel the promise will be more than enough. So... Adrianna Biaram. Would you possibly consider doing something crazy, and allowing me to ask for your hand in marriage?""<br/><br/>Instead of a verbal answer, Ferdinand instead got his answer in the form of Adrianna crying happily, nodding frantically, and nearly leaping out of her seat to hug him, nearly knocking them both over.<br/><br/>They both sat there on the floor, crying and laughing together, until their desert finally came, warranting a concerned look from the waiter, who asked them if they were alright. Nodding, the two returned to their seats, and apologized. They quickly finished their desert, before once again running out into the night to enjoy themselves further."

The stage was large and roomy with plenty seating of its own. On one side a large painting of a younger Hou Sai Tang hung off the wall, dressed in worn combat fatigues. But unlike any combatant in that style the arms of war were removed from his presence. Instead what rested in his lap was a little red book and pen.<br/><br/>The University of People's Law made no secret that here was where Hou had studied in the late forties and fifties. What had been the nexus of his early influence as a younger man, even if already fairly old by the student demographic. It was here in the underground unions that he and others had begun drafting the manifesto they'd liberate China on; even if most of that had been written on the road or in very early legislation in Beijing. But standing in the middle of the of the auditorium there was a sense of being close to formative history. More when it was so proudly hung all around.<br/><br/>Save for the cammera and audio crews working around the room the chamber was empty. Crews in blue slacks milled over the heavy cables and the rigs where they sat their cameras. The icons for the NPN – National People's News – stitched across their shoulders or emblazoned on the sides of their cameras. Though this was redundant, they were the only major broadcaster permitted to broadcast nationally in China. Although the much smaller local news bureaus had come out to make a show of appearance, but the most they managed to do was work at getting microphones established on the podium, next to the state-ran microphones.<br/><br/>“How many speeches did Hou make in this room?” asked Auyi as he walked side-by-side with the middle-aged dean on the college. His hair was beginning to turn a snow-white, and fine lines rung his face.<br/><br/>“Exactly two.” he said in a low voice, “It's not like the school was the center of his movement based the initial uprising.” he laughed modestly, “I can't recall - given I wasn't here at the time – but he rallied the student body here after they seized control of Hong Kong and declared its commune, and then again in '65, when I started here.”<br/><br/>“You certainly take a lot of pride.” Auyi observed, looking at the portrait of Hou staring down at the rows of chairs. Even in his youth he had that same arrow-headed beard on his chin, though it looked a lot wilder.<br/><br/>“You take what you can get these days.” the dean groaned, taking a deep breath as he watched the crews work with a half-hidden feeling of contempt.<br/><br/>“Perhaps we may be more proud in the future.” replied Auyi, wringing together his hands. He smiled down at the crews from the stage. It was certainly an impressive feeling being there.<br/><br/>“What do you propose?” asked the Dean, straightening his back.<br/><br/>“A few things, I'll go over them tomorrow.” Auyi smiled, “And thanks again for allowing me to make the announcement here.”<br/><br/>“I can't deny a minister.” remarked the Dean, turning, “I can hardly deny the city too, most of the time.”<br/><br/>“What is happening in Hong Kong?” asked Auyi, “By the looks of the streets, they're excited for the autonomy bill.”<br/><br/>“We might fall into the Cantonese Autonomous Zone proposed,” the dean said, “But for the most part the city and Macau feel in their hearts we've still got enough Europeans and anglicized or Portugese Chinese that we ourselves should be our own zones.<br/><br/>“I myself am born to a British-born father. If it's still recognized, I should still have a British citizenship. If I might be blunt, I could say that this hasn't had many opportunities for me open higher up. I'd have better luck if Hong Kong was recognized as its own special case zone.”<br/><br/>“I see.” nodded Auyi, “Maybe in the future something could be worked out.” he added, invitingly.<br/><br/>“<i>If</i>you win.”"

The Suez had been a desperate gambit, pitched against not only the Spanish Navy, who's slow approach felt like a the march of a lumbering giant that, when it arrived, would crush everything around them, but also against the Egyptian warlord who had claimed the Suez. It had been claimed by the same self-proclaimed dictator that ruled Damietta to the east. The area he controlled was small, but he had held onto it firmly. Their only fear now was that he would join forces with the Spanish in order to hunt down the Ethiopian forces that haunted both of them.<br/><br/>Leyla pointed her pistol in the rough direction of a nearby parking garage and fired two rounds. The shots echoed like a bell in her head as she dove for cover behind a concrete barrier. ""I thought they were supposed to be cleared."" she yelled above the cacophony of violence to Elias as he dove in next to her. Something in front of them exploded - a grenade, a rocket, she couldn't tell - and it sent a plume of rock-shards and dust into the air, covering everything in a thin film of dirt and smoke.<br/><br/>""Who the fuck knows."" Elias said. He stretched backward, straining to see over the barrier without taking a bullet to the skull. Leyla watched nervously, anticipating the worst. It seemed like forever, though it was only a couple of seconds. He snapped back, falling into the protection of their cover. ""Three of them, I think."" he said, ""And they have the high ground.""<br/><br/>A truck plodded down the road, its driver ducking beneath the dashboard and several cautious Ethiopian soldiers doing the same in the back. They drew enemy fire, and the Walinzi agents in their cement hiding place sensed it. They jumped up, their aim rough and quick as they sprayed a couple of shots before falling the corner of the barrier.<br/><br/>From the back of the truck, three Ethiopian riflemen rose up and gave fire. The sound of their volley was abrupt, only a few quick clapping shots being released. One of the riflemen, a young soldier who hadn't yet shed his boyish looks, fell back violently as his jaw exploded in a bloody hail of torn flesh and gushing blood. Under the constant sound of war, in between nearby rifle reports, his muffled cries haunted the field.<br/><br/>Elias looked at Leyla and nodded toward the truck. She took a deep breath, put another clip in her weapon, and followed him when he went sprinting away from cover. Her heart was in her throat, and it jumped every time an enemy bullet struck the ground behind her. Her vision blurred, leaving only a clear target in front of her. They slid behind the truck, both of them catching their breath as the Ethiopians in the truck-bed exchanged another round with the Egyptians in the parking garage.<br/><br/>Her lungs burned and her head reeled. She stared at the bloody splatter that coagulated in the dust in front of her feet. The smell of smoke and blood mixed with the dust that hung over the plaza like a fog.<br/><br/>""We need to get around them."" she heard Elias shout up at the driver.<br/><br/>""No. No."" the driver yelled back, straining to be louder than the gunfire. ""This is a distraction. This is a dis...""<br/><br/>Before he could finish, something hissed above their head. It was sharp and angry, like a cobra falling from the sky. She saw the trail it left, the sparks dancing in a cloud of beige. And then she remembered. They were better armed than the Egyptians.<br/><br/>She heard the explosion, and the celebrating soldiers whooping from the back of their truck. A second hiss flew above her head. Bending around the truck, she watched as the rocket smashed into the parking garage and left a bloom of fire and crumbling cement where the enemy had stood before. She heard the patter of debris smacking against the plaza, and then silence. Only distant gunfire echoed through the grey urban warzone that was Port Said.<br/><br/>Quietly, the two Walinzi and the men from the truck approached the garage. Leyla's eyes were fixed on the smoking scar in the side of the building. Anything, any hint of movement, would be enough to spook her. It was too silent and too still, she did not trust it. Somewhere, someone was going jump up and catch them while they were in the open. She could sense that the others felt the same way, and she could feel their tension.<br/><br/>They made it into the garage without incident, but she was hardly put at ease. In there, it was open and dark. Shadows filled the crevices, creating the habitat for ambushes. They fanned out, inspecting each corner carefully as the moved up floor by floor.<br/><br/>The structure groaned above them. Leyla listened closely, afraid that the moans of damaged cement and steel could be hiding the auditory clues of a living enemy.<br/><br/>When they reached the snipers nest, they find their quarry. The rocket had scattered the shooters as much as it had scattered the cement. Pieces of Egyptian sat at the end of bloody trails. A red splatter dripped from the ash-blackened ceiling above.<br/><br/>Beyond their gory perch, Leyla and Elias could see the ENS Aksum getting into position. It was where the two canals at the mouth met and became one. The Aksum had turned itself around, broadside facing the sea. A stout tower hid half of it from view. ""Do we watch from here?"" she asked, grinning at her partner.<br/><br/>""I wish we could."" Elias replied. He pointed out to sea. The Spanish fleet was approaching. Across the horizon, from east to west, she could see them. They were spread out, giving themselves room to maneuver, but they did not need the spread to exaggerate their number. It was obvious that there was enough to take control of the African coast with no contest.<br/><br/>""We should get back down and get into position."" Elias warned, ""If they decide to fire on the city, this is not the place to be."""

At times he would find himself looking suspiciously at his aids, wondering to what extent they could be trusted. This habit wasn't an entirely bad one in politics, especially not in the current times. He was to meet his secretaries of foreign affairs and of defense in a few minutes' time on the issue of the imminent war in Africa. As he stared at the brown, burnt rooftops of the city, he was left to ponder whether the world was on the verge of a new conflagration. The nuance, this time, was that weapons were far deadlier, and the actors even less honorable. There was no doubt that at the first occasion, VX would be used to exterminate the civilians of the other side. It seemed to the first delegate, who would have been grandfather had his children not been 'taken' in their youth by the agents of the ISIIS, a long time ago - when he was presented with the opportunity to learn the truth, he had preferred to leave all that in the past - that human life was worth even less nowadays than in his own youth. Even they who had caused the Great War felt some reluctance to send the youngsters of their nation to death, whereas the leaders of today seemed to play war like a game. And in this game, none was ever sure of his friends and foes. Persia was still considered little more than a colony by the capitalists whose industry it fed, and even after the victory of the forces of progress at home, China did not seem to so much as notice the existence of its brothers and sisters. Hotami held a particular grudge against China, which had time and again rejected his party's plea for help. Perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing, though, seeing how subservient it expected its 'allies' to be. Socialist as he was, he also believed his people deserved respect- all peoples, for that matter, which is why he gravitated towards the SPP in the first point- and would not accept hegemony and imperialism in any form, whether bourgeois or supposedly proletarian.<br/>'The time of lofty idealism is long gone,' did he correct himself, knowing full well that in what was to come isolation would not be an option.<br/><br/>He heard someone knock on the door.<br/><br/>""Agha Hotami, General Ganji and Khanom Kowsar have arrived."" announced the secretary.<br/><br/>""Let them in.""<br/><br/>The two came in, nobly, with a steely gaze, albeit for opposite reasons. Without a word, Hossan summoned them to his desk. Very matter-of-factly, he asked: ""Well, you know the situation. Agha Ganji, what do you have to say?""<br/><br/>""The High Command refuses any intervention against Spain. It is not our war, and even if it were, we would stand no chance."" His point was clear, to the very least.<br/><br/>""Khanom Kowsar?""<br/><br/>""As a citizen of Persia, as a proud human being, I say this aggression is unacceptable."" Her taunt was obvious. No military man could be attacked on his pride. ""Spain has proven, once again, that all it seeks is global domination and the enrichment of its oligarchs. It is an imperialistic power which imperils the stability of the entire world, not to mention freedom and human dignity. It cannot be allowed to pursue its expansion, or it will devour us all. Already it has re-enslaved a third of Africa; soon it will close off the Mediterranean, to no one's benefit but its<br/>own. Spanish rule would mean a return to the dark age.""<br/><br/>The general promptly fired back: ""Whose dark age would you rather have ? May I remind you just a few years ago Persia was at war with China's minions?""<br/><br/>""Does resistance to Spain mean surrender to anybody else? Who here exactly is supposed to protect Persian territory? Do you mean you...""<br/><br/>Hotami could sense his friend about to make a disastrous comment. It was time to bring back order to the discussion. ""Enough!"" he commanded. ""It is our nation's interests which are at stake here. It is no time to settle your personal misgivings. Pray remind me what is at stake, and what we have to lose or gain. I dare hope it will bring back some sense to you.""<br/><br/>Ganji argued: ""As far ar the army is concerned, it is a conflict between two states with which we are neither allied nor in conflict. We have no obligation to act.""<br/><br/>Leila Kowsar, fiery as always, though slightly more composed than previously: ""A foreign power with few interests aligned with ours, and in fact oftentimes conflicting, as concerns oil, Armenia, Africa, is attempting to invade a friendly state with which we have cooperated in Arabia, the Ottoman Empire and Armenia, with which we have ever closer economic ties, and which has been, just as us, a consistent foe of imperialism. Ethiopia fights alongside Persia for respect and control of its destiny.""<br/><br/>""Yet we are not Ethiopia."" countered the ageing man. ""And we are not free to send troops around the globe. We must already maintain order in Azerbaijan and Arabia, not to mention India. We are already overstretched. For all your talks of dignity and respect, you must realize Persia is not as powerful as the West. We are not in measure to directly confront one of the strongest and most advanced armed forces in the world. India was a proxy war, where no one was willing to directly get involved. That is what allowed us to match the ASB.""<br/><br/>This show of humility was certainly surprising to Hotami and Kowsar. The premier, bringing back the subject to what he had intended to speak of first and foremost, advanced: ""All this talk is good, but perhaps before projecting any sort of action, we must ask what is at stake. What may happen from now? Agha Ganji, for all your reservations, what is the most plausible course of events, at least from a strategic point of view?""<br/><br/>""Ethiopia has proven its capabilities in the past, but never before has it had to face such an opponent as Spain. It has rarely fought a symetrical war; Egypt had been in disarray for decades, its army was underfunded and attacked on two fronts. It is a given Spain will secure the canal. Thereafter the Red Sea will be open to reinforcements. I suppose the goal is Addis Abeba. A pincer movement is probable. That is where Ethiopia might balance the<i>rapport de force</i>. Once in Ethiopian territory, the Spanish army will be vulnerable to guerilla. It remains to be seen, but France and Germany could get involved.""<br/><br/>The Secretary of Foreign Affairs voiced her fear of such a scenario. ""That would be a disaster. It would mark the second colonization of Africa. The Mashriq, still in the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire's demise, would be the easiest of targets. It would be miraculous if they do not try to stir trouble in Arabia and Iraq. Spanish companies have been regularly attempting to tap into oil fields well on our side of the border. In any case, an ethiopian defeat would mean a radical upsetting of the global balance of power.""<br/><br/>""What must I make of this?"" said the frustrated Hotami. ""One of you tells me military intervention is impossible, and the other that action is indispensable. You are dismissed. I will reconvene the council at a later time.""<br/><br/>After their departure, brooding as he gazed outside, a fleeting thought crossed his mind.<br/><br/>""Where are we now?""<br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/QWtsV50_-p4?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe>"

Behind the men, the light of the morning sun crowned them in a halo of gold as morning rose over the Siberian spring. Standing at the edge of the trees they sat looking out at it. The solitary Russian fort at the edge of nothing. Thin dying hairs of smoke rolled off the roof as ghosts of men prowled the parameter.<br/><br/>“Can we take it?” Tsien Huang asked, crouching in a melting bank of snow. With the coming fight he had dressed himself over for it. Metal and padded ceramic plates rested over his winter coat. Slung over his back the reinforced steel tank to his flamethrower glowed in the low Russia sun, its drab green a dull orange. Resting on his knees the flamethrower itself, a single tongue of blue flame rising from the tip like a gentle candle.<br/><br/>“We can.” Quan Yun-qi said, lowering his binoculars as he turned his wrist, checking his watch, “In five minutes the mortar teams are going to begin shelling the compound and soften them up.”<br/><br/>“Then I go in.” Huang nodded, smiling. He knocked his knuckles against his helmet, a solid piece that hugged against the whole of his head, “And I'm ready.” he smiled at the rasp of his knuckles.<br/><br/>“A lot of us are.” Yun-Qi added, “You know what it is you're doing?” he asked.<br/><br/>“How could I not.” Huang scoffed, “I'm riding in there after the shells land, busting in a hole in those fences and clearing a path for you and the rest to mop it up.<br/><br/>“You sure this is how mechanized infantry is supposed to work?” he asked.<br/><br/>“It sounds good enough in my head.” Yun-qi replied, “Now get in your position, wait for my whistle.”<br/><br/>“Yes, comrade.” Huang bowed, “Can't wait to get cooking!” he cheered quietly, as he bolted off. He could hear the subdued clicking of his gear as he shot off through the snow.<br/><br/>The sound of Huang died off as he departed into the trees. Hidden in there were the ranks of the buggies and personnel carriers that had got them here. From the deep north where they waited in the darkness of Russia's deep winter to here. Faintly on the wind the colonel could hear the idle chattering of their motors.<br/><br/>He could feel the morning sun on the side of his face. It was warm. A contrast to the wet coldness of the snow pressing into his winter coat as he lay on the bank looking out to the Russian compound. The sun felt like it rose too low up this far north. It was never high enough. Some days it was like it gently skirted the edge of the horizon, if it rose at all for most of the year.<br/><br/>There was a building silence that hung in this morning air. What few birds remained this far north were awakened by the golden light and had started chirping in the trees. But around them they held back, afraid of the motors and the diesel that ran below their trees. It was the sort of thing man only noticed when he was in its middle. Like the birds, not even deer nor boar had stirred where the Chinese were crouched in wait.<br/><br/>The Russians wouldn't notice.<br/><br/>The soft breath of southern air brought a warm relief with the sunlight. The brushing breeze rattled the boughs of the trees softly as it brushed through the forests. Distant clumps of snow fell tumbling from the pine boughs in the distant, like ethereal streams of rosy gold. It had to be coming soon. It had to be time. Yun-qi checked his watch again, it was time.<br/><br/>As he lay his head back down he heard the whistling above his head. His head shot up at the howling that cut the cool morning air in the vein attempt to catch a glimpse at the silvery shells that plummeted to Earth. The hard explosive knocking in the distance recaptured his attention as to his face his binoculars shot. Dark cloudy plumes of smoke and shrapnel shot in the air, filling out through the Russian installation as he watched through the lenses.<br/><br/>He could feel the shock waves of each shell from where he sat. The cutting throbbing crashing of mortar fire tore through the silence morning, shaking the ground. The shells falling fast and hard. Drumming fiercely against the Earth as blackened motes of debris sprang and fell in the air. Huang watched through his looking glass at the guards scattering through the compound, their heads bowed low as they dodged the piercing shells that fell all around them.<br/><br/>Along the fences he watched the patrolmen funneled between the fences as soot and timber tore through like flachetes. The chain link no protection from the shrapnel as bodies dropped at each close explosion. Beyond he watched through the fence as a man fell victim to a direct hit from a mortar. His body disappearing all together when the smoke cleared.<br/><br/>Plumes of fire and smoke rose like freed dragons as vehicles were chewed and fell victim to a number of shells that dropped right on them. Sirens picked up and roared as the shelling intensified and corners of the brick building were torn off, raining on the ground rapidly coated in rubble and pitted with craters.<br/><br/>The mortar fire dulled to a lull. It was time for the next stage. Rising from his bank Yun-qi tore out from his pocket his whistle. With a hard blow, he blew into it. A shrill screech cut into the air. Deafening even the shelling as a shrill silver note sung into the cold spring air. Bellowing out in tandem a hundred others sang out, and the groan of engines rose to a lively hallow roar.<br/><br/>Tearing out through the trees the hundreds of motors they had with them. Bar-wrought buggies thundered towards the Russian installation. The pained whines of their engines screaming in. Turreted machine guns opening fire. And riding in the middle a cart flaying a wooden mast, flying from which was the Chinese flag. Its rider, perched in the turret seat sat low, clinging to the barrel of a flame-thrower mounted on its swiveling frame.<br/><br/>The Russians were attempting to re-organize themselves and to recover from the shelling. But what defense they had was staggered and shocked. The defensive fire almost hesitant and misplaced. In return gunners and passengers returned fire as they tore at the fence. Yun-Qi watched as the first buggies rode into the shoddy fence, bending the thin steel and tearing it loose from the snowy earth and whatever held them to their wooden or rusty poles.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>With a crash the wheels of the vehicle crashed against the flattened fence. Leaning stressed against distant poles it hung bent and deformed as the buggy, and several others struggled to climb up the frozen, twisted fence. The motors strained as the gas roared, coughing up thick clouds of smoke that spun skyward with thick wet clouds of mud and slush. Riding in the gunner's seat Tsien Huang leaned against the angle of the cart as it crawled slowly through the opening that had been rammed through. Shallow craters filled the wide court yard of the installation. Columns of black smoke rose into the cold air from the fresh, warm pits.<br/><br/>Anxiety fermented and boiled in Huang as he sat at the barrel of his flame-thrower. Before him the dozens of carts that had spear-headed in before him wheeled around. Sweeping through and keeping the panicking Russians in check before he could arrive to bring them to the torch. Weapons fire clapped and clattered through the morning air, mingling with the siren klaxons that wailed and feel. Before him the first battle of his involvement in Russia carried on, and he was stuck on a fence.<br/><br/>Furiously the driver slammed the gas pedal. The motor roared loud. “Fucking piece of fucking Siberian trash!” he roared enraged as he leaned his weight on the pedal. At his side his passenger scanned the area through the sights of his rifle. Checking every inch of cover. Likewise their neighbors did the same.<br/><br/>Roars of slogged down buggies screamed and roared as they struggled to climb onto the fence from the burrowing trench they were digging at its foot. The loose bending of the metal did the job just as worse as they caught themselves in the chain link.<br/><br/>Tsien Huang was growing impatient in his nest. He fidgeted in his cold metal seat. Not even the warmth rising from the engine below was any comfort.<br/><br/>“Wu, you fucking get this unstuck, I'm walking in.” Huang growled bitterly as he worked over the clamps that held his flame-thrower to the frame of the vehicle.<br/><br/>“God fuck no, I need your fucking weight!” the driver shouted, pissed. He turned back to Huang, frowning behind a pair of jet-black goggles. A metal collar guarded his neck.<br/><br/>“Ho is fatter than I.” Huang bellowed, pulling the flame-thrower free with a crack and hoisting the tanks higher up on his back, “He can take my seat.”<br/><br/>The passenger looked back at him, without saying a word. Behind the solid-gray scarf that wrapped around his face there was no doubt he was biting back calling him a cunt.<br/><br/>Before anything else could be said Huang landed on the mangled fence, his gear in hand as he jumped into the mud inside the Russian camp. “Damn it Huang, get the fuck back here!” the driver screamed.<br/><br/>“Come find me when you're done being stuck.” Huang called back, opening a valve on the side of the flamethrower, the flame glowed brighter and larger as gas hissed. Turning on his toes he charged into the installation, weaving between the pacing and patrolling buggies. From behind Wu yelled angrily back at him."

Completely ignoring the hello's she received as she scurried along, she was focused on making it to the office at the end as soon as possible. Upon arriving, she entered the door, which had been left open, and entered an office which completely stood out from the rest of the facility, looking instead like it belonged in an old manor home than an underground lab.<br/><br/>Placing the folder on the desk, and opening it for the man sitting on the other side, the girl, in a shaky voice, spoke.<br/><br/>“Doctor. Everything is ready. The patients are sufficiently sleep deprived. Shall we move on to part two of the procedure?”<br/><br/>“Yes, I believe so. Have Mr. Edwards get the papers. We have to make sure that nothing goes wrong.”<br/><br/>“Yes, sir.”<br/><br/>“Oh, and, Karen. Calm down. There's nothing to be afraid of. The things we are doing here are for the good of the country, you know.”<br/><br/>The girl paused, and, without any sign of emotion, quickly responded. “Yes sir.”<br/><br/>Turning quickly, the girl hurried out of the office, and made her way back down the sterile hallway.<br/><br/>With a smile spread across thin lips, the doctor watched with a fixed gaze as his assistant walked away, only getting out of his chair once she was out of sight. Now standing, he looked down at the files on the folder, with the details of the patients he had exposed to a gas just a few days earlier. <br/><br/>“Delirious... Complaining about headaches... Seemingly losing his sanity? Perfect.” <br/><br/>Closing the folder, the doctor took a cigarette and lighter out of his front pocket and twirled the cigarette around in his fingers a bit before lighting it, and walking out of the office.<br/><br/>Upon reaching the assembly room, Doctor Pyke looked around, smiling with joy upon seeing Karen and “Mr. Edwards” enter from the opposite side. Hurrying to meet the man, Pyke thanked Karen, and sent her away, before engaging in conversation with Edwards.<br/><br/>“So, tell me Daniel. You checked everything out, right? There is no way we can get into any legal trouble if the subjects sign these waivers, correct?”<br/><br/>Edwards nodded, solemnly. “If you can manage to get signatures from the patients giving you permission to potentially kill them, then yes. I swear, boy. Your father would be furious if he actually knew all that went on down here.”<br/><br/>“Well” Doctor Pyke said “as long as you keep doing your job of supervising, then we won't have to worry about that. Am I correct, Mr. Edwards?”<br/><br/>Looking up at the doctor, the portly, older man nodded. “My lips are sealed. But ONLY because you are searching for a cure for my Emily. If at any point you go back on that agreement, I promise you, I will not hesitate to let your father in on this facilities secrets.”<br/><br/>“I know. I don't plan on it. Finding a cure for her is just another wonderful secret of the world I get to find, so I have no reason to break our agreement.”<br/><br/>Staying silent, Edwards handed Doctor Pyke the paperwork, before slowly leaving.<br/><br/>Sighing once the man was out of view, Pyke ran a hand though his hair, looking down at the paperwork in his other hand. After reading through it all, he walked over to somebody else, who he handed the paperwork to.<br/><br/>“Time to let our sleepy subjects out. Part 2 if beginning.”<br/><br/>Nodding, the person hurriedly left, coming back fifteen minutes later to tell Pyke that the subjects had been released, and were waiting in the other room for him.<br/><br/>Thanking the man, Pyke turned and walked into the other room, where the three patients were sitting in chairs, in front of a table with three clipboards on it.<br/><br/>Putting on his false, friendly face, Pyke sat down across from the three.<br/><br/>“Hello. I am Matthew Pyke, the head of this project, and I would just like to thank all of you for taking part in this study of mine. Your payment is ready now, but I just need you to sign these forums. They are just your typical closing agreements, you promising not to talk about the facility, the basics, you know? But this is all that stands in the way of you, and your money and beds at home. So, please, don't let me get in the way. Here you are.” <br/><br/>Handing pens to each of the men, Pyke watched as they basically signed their lives away without even reading that they were doing so. Smiling, although hardly for the reason the subjects thought he was, Pyke stood, holding their signed sheets safely against his chest, and taking a few steps back, as soldiers entered the room, behind the patients. <br/><br/>“Hey... What is this? What's going on?” One of the subjects asked as his arms were grabbed by the soldier. “Hey! Let go of me? What is this?!”<br/><br/>“Once again, I would like to thank you for taking part in this work. Your payment will be sent to your families, with an apology for their loss. Thank you for taking part in the first, and hopefully last, British VX Nerve Agent Recreation Study. Your participation is appreciated. Thank you for serving your country.”<br/><br/>With plenty of shouting, the three subjects were dragged away to another chamber that had been hidden from their view, where the rest of the scientists taking part in the project were already waiting. Pyke walked up behind them, looking into the room, where the soldiers and subjects were. Two of the soldiers had managed to get their subjects inside without trouble, but the third wasn't so easily able to rid himself of his, and was now getting attacked by the subjects, prompting one of the other soldiers to rush to attempt saving him.<br/><br/>“Stop.” Pyke said in a cold tone.<br/><br/>“But sir! If this keeps up, they'll kill him!” the soldier replied. <br/><br/>Rubbing his temples, Pyke glared at the soldier. “The timer has already started. If you go in there now, you risk killing everybody in this facility. Your friend knew this job came with risks. Now accept that, and stay out here.”<br/><br/>Ignoring Pyke completely, the soldier began to unlock the chamber door, in an attempt to get inside to save his friend. Hearing footsteps approaching him, he turned to fight Pyke off, so he could save his friend, only to be met with a gun between his eyes. <br/><br/>“If you are so eager to die, don't go putting the rest of us at risk.”<br/><br/>Without time for the soldier to react, Pyke pulled the trigger, spraying the inside of the mans head all over the lab wall with a noise loud enough to even scare the subjects currently mauling the soldier inside the chamber. Lighting another cigarette, Pyke walked back to the one way window, and watched the inside carefully. The rest of the staff followed suit once the shock of the gunshot stopped. <br/><br/>“Release it.” Pyke said calmly.<br/><br/>“Hey, wait. You said it was on a timer!” The remaining soldier shouted. <br/><br/>Pyke looked back at him for a second, but seeing the fear on his face, decided no action was needed. Looking down at a man about his age, Pyke repeated himself. “Do it.”<br/><br/>With a nod, the man pressed a button, and the hiss of the gas being released from vents sounded throughout the chamber, causing the subjects to begin to panic. They all hurried over to the door, and began to try banging on it, in hopes somebody would let them out, or perhaps in hopes they could break it down. Pyke, however, wasn't looking at them. He was looking at the beaten soldier, who had crawled away from the subjects, and was propped up in a corner.<br/><br/>“Keep an eye on him.” Pyke said to a woman with a clip board. “We can clearly see how he reacts, so he will give us the most information.”<br/><br/>Slightly upset by the order, the woman nodded. “Yes sir.”<br/><br/>After a few minutes, Pyke noticed as the soldier began to twitch, quickly ordering the woman watching to take notes. A few minutes later, one of the men banging on the door collapsed, as his legs gave out from under him, while another began freaking out as a large amount of liquid began to escape from his nose. A few more minutes in, and the final man collapsed on the floor, grabbing at his throat, while both the soldier and the man who's legs gave out began to vomit, while the man who was grabbing at his throat just moments before lay limp on the floor, his muscles spasming, while large amounts of drool began to escape his mouth. Soon after, nearly all the others were in this same state, except for the man with the runny nose, who only seemed to lost control of his bodily functions, but otherwise was still holding himself up fine.<br/><br/>A few more minutes in, and all of them were dead.<br/><br/>“Okay. That's it. Stop.” Pyke said, as vents turned on inside the chamber.<br/><br/>“You, and you. Come with me.” Pyke said to the man he had turn on the vents, and the woman he had taking notes.<br/><br/>Following Pyke, the three put on hazmat suits, and, once they got the clear, entered the chamber to observe the bodies. <br/><br/>“Muscle spasming, drooling, sweating, loss of bowel control, blistering of the skin... You have all of this down, I presume, Ms. Parker?”<br/><br/>“Yes, Doctor Pyke.”<br/><br/>“Good. Is there anything else either of you can see?”<br/><br/>After a brief pause, the woman spoke up. “Sir. I think this soldier is still alive.”<br/><br/>Turning, Pyke moved in next to the woman, Pyke looked closely. “Indeed. He is still breathing.” He said in a somewhat disappointed voice. “You.” Pyke said motioning to the man in with them. “Take him to the medical wing, right away. I want him thoroughly examined. I want to know why he is alive.” <br/><br/>“Yes sir!” The man replied, rushing over to the soldier, and picking him up.<br/><br/>“Why.” Pyke said, warranting confusion from the woman in with him. “I want to know why he is alive! I was sure I had it perfect!” <br/><br/>Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Pyke looked at the woman, and saw the worried look on her face. <br/><br/>“I... I'm sorry. I know I should be happy he lived. But... I also want to get this right. You have to understand. We are at a disadvantage right now. Britain is a pushover. We can not defend ourselves against our neighbors. I want to have a guarantee. If France, or Spain, or even Germany attacks. I want to have this, because this and this alone will guarantee our safety. This alone, could guarantee great things for our nation.”</span>"
22034,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-08-15 01:50:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Northern Russia</b><br/><br/>The sharp bitter taste of ash hung in the air. It petrified the other senses, dulling them in a haze of char and gasoline after burn. The stagnant sickening taste lingered in the nose as much as it did on the tongue as the ashes fell down to Earth. Smoke rose in a solid mass for the clear skies above. The area was warm, but not in a regular sense. The muffled sounds of distant gunshots still echoed in the clear wind as Yun-Qi walked through, a ragged cloth pressed tightly to his face; in part to the offensive odor that swam in the milky air.<br/><br/>His boots crunched over the broken brick and timbers of buildings laid to waste my mortar. Glass shards littered the wet slushy concrete from the windows that had been blown out. The brick and concrete behemoth that rose above the Russian wilderness base had been disheveled. By the shattered windows, heavy bullet holes, and thick black char marks it had been quick and violent.<br/><br/>Between the sheet-metal barracks rested stacked bodies of slain Russian resistance. Their uniforms torn and dirties by the mud and smoke. Patches of blood stained the thick woolen uniforms, ribbons drooled out from their mouths as they stared back at the examining officer with glassy eyes. Their skin like parchment as the snow fell on their cheeks as delicate crumbs of black and gray.<br/><br/>Leaned against the side of the command center were laid out the fallen bodies of his men. The Chinese who had given their lives had been laid out and arranged. There was more ceremony in their place than the Russians that had been tossed aside and stacked like chords of discarded wood. Their fallen comrades had been set on the ground like they were sleeping. At their sides lay their rifles and automatic weapons. A heavy blanket had been pulled over them, hiding everything above their ankles. And still their bodies were attended to as the examiners went between the fallen, or recently found were laid out.<br/><br/>“I'd say it would have been more effective if in the end we had not driven in circles around their base.” an officer said, walking up to beside Yun-Qi. He looked tired and pale. His coat had been tattered and a splattering of blood had been painted over a shoulder. A heavy collar of thick gauze was wrapped around his neck, holding in a bloodied wound.<br/><br/>“It certainly ended quick.” Yun-qi observed, looking over the scene of battle, “I had hardly come in with the rest. It was starting to quite. Do you know how?” he asked.<br/><br/>“All I know is that at one point we were making circles around their compound. I was first to tear through the fence in my group. We had it empty and we tore through the defense like I would expect from a tub of butter. But as we filled in I don't think there was much room to keep up maneuvers.” he pointed over to a collection of bent and crashed buggies<br/><br/>“I nearly got blind-sided but another cart passing between the CP and their firing range.” he said, “The Russians packed things hot and heavy in here. I think this place wasn't meant to house that many soldiers in this sort of space. Their command center looks too much like a prison, we broke into their yard.”<br/><br/>“A prison?” Yun-Qi quipped, “I can see that.” he nodded, looking at the parameter. The spindly, wooden guard towers formed an even enough parameter, and it'd explain the barb wire.<br/><br/>“So maybe if we rode you around the edge.”<br/><br/>“Wouldn't have stopped the stalling. I fucking hate those things.” the officer swore. Pointing to the wound on his neck he continued, “As soon as our cart stalled someone clipped me with a rifle round. If it was just a few centimeters off, comrade.”<br/><br/>“A terrible shot then, the Russians.”<br/><br/>“I'd say it was luck if I wasn't in this army.” he quipped.<br/><br/>“Now, why is it burning?” Quan asked bitterly, turning in the kicked up, blackened slush as he threw his hand out, brushing through the drifting soot and ash as it fell back down over them.<br/><br/>“I can't tell you.” the officer said, “After I got stuck and my driver and I took shelter in one of their bunkers we heard explosions. Must have been...” he paused, thinking, “Seven minutes in. If I can get back to my squad then we'll put together an after action report.”<br/><br/>“Good, good. Thank you comrade.” Quan Yun-Qi mumbled appreciatively. He turned and looked over the scene. “Is their headquarters secured?” he asked dryly.<br/><br/>“I believe it is. Man Hu went in with his men to sweep it out. They've been pulling out prisoners since. No word on their CO.”<br/><br/>“Keep looking then.” Quan nodded, “I need to ask some more questions.”<br/><br/>“Certainly.” the officer bowed, “We'll join up later for hot tea under a roof, shall we?”<br/><br/>“Consider it an open invitation.”<br/><br/>“As I would expect.” the lieutenant replied back as he turned. His boots scuffing along the whetted cement as he and his superior parted.<br/><br/>Along the sides of the open court yard sat in park or in salvage the buggies produced for them by the Siberians. Their spartan and open design clearly having not favored the battle well. And with the flurry of fight done, so were these motors silenced. Frames either dented, or blood splattered on the seats they sat quiet along the side. They were not nearly as touched as the smaller Chinese variants, which were looked at with a certain amount of pride by their users.<br/><br/>Not having been simply left behind, the Personnel Carriers that had so swiftly reinforced the spearhead into the compound were not left ignored or unwashed. Done with battle, their attendees crouched beside them, painting out the scars of war. Or patched what holes had been made in any one of their six wheels. In the aftermath, it was clear what horse the men favored, and which had unlikely bore the blame of casualties.<br/><br/>The piling dead and waiting wounded weren't the only things collected by the end of this. As Quan rounded around the corner of the immense plain brick and cement monster he walked along a gathering of prisoners. Battered, pale, and bloodied those Russians who had laid down their arms – wounded or otherwise – in battle were forced to crouch. Hands over their heads they sat in the cold mud facing the plain exterior of their command's barren gray wall. Patrolling the edge armed guards watched over the clearly tired defense as another dug through their weapons. Checking, counting, and cataloging the day's praise.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi didn't know where they'd go in the end. But what ammunition could not be used would be sent somewhere. The command wanted it so.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi was greeted by salutes as he passed. He returned the gesture in kind as he made his way through.<br/><br/>And beyond where the prisoners were being held, was the source of the ash. At the bottom of a low dip, behind chain-link torn and ravaged was were the Russian garrison had set itself. Flames fielded the shanty camp, chewing into the air and spreading like a field of toxic roses. A hundred trees of black smoke clouded into the air, carrying out over the fallen installation. The remains of the site raining down as the ash.<br/><br/>Standing posed and proud at the mouth of the muddy road leading to it stood Tsien Huang. His coat frayed with burns. Dented tank rested in the dirt.<br/><br/>“My work his done.” he said smiling as Yun-Qi walked up alongside him, “It is art, a victory.”<br/><br/>“An art?” Quan said in awe. He felt the shock in him like the wind that poured over his shoulders. Drawn into the breathing field of flame.<br/><br/>“Well, not all me.” Tsien admitted humbly, laughing. “I had help. But it forced many of them out.<br/><br/>“Comrade, I saw the leaves in the tree shudder and break from their branches!” he cheered, clapping, “I don't know if any cooked. But they ran as we drenched them in flame. These Russians, I don't doubt they were proud. But they are no longer.” he grinned.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi thought of the ragged prisoners. What army were they fighting indeed? Was this what turned them away years ago?<br/><br/>“What happened...” a shocked Yun-qi mumbled. He hadn't see this use of fire in a long time. Even on Mindanao had the flames ever been small and shallow. But there wasn't much the reactionaries could use to cause such fires. Glass bottle fire-bombs and aerosol cans. What was done so violently was for more primal urged to impress upon the enemy. Crucifixions, bodies rigged to explode. But not the unguided, unrestrained flame.<br/><br/>“Fire.” smiled Tsien, “Have you not ever been impressed by it?” he asked, “It gives life. It takes it. In my youth, I saw half of Nanjing burn in Japanese bombing. At a distance, I was awed.<br/><br/>“Now I am them. Now I am the Japanese.” He sounded cheerful, proud. His eyes shone with the same terrifying brilliance as the fire that engulfed the camp below. Yun-qi felt pity, and fear. And he wondered, what had Mindanao done to him that he never experienced.<br/><br/><b>Train to Perm</b><br/><br/>The rails could be felt as the train rode over top. Its weight swaying it side to side as it sailed over the small imperfections in its route. The rocks, the track laid just an intangible distance off. Or just the turning and wear on the tracks as it lethargically trailed through the terrain on slow, gentle turns. Rising up softly carved hills and passed barren farmer's fields. The dark loamy soil poking out from under snow melt.<br/><br/>In the back of a empty cattle car Jun's breath passed through his lips in a silky cloud. Head bowed he turned over the blade of his sword. The smooth polished metal shimmering as it caught the wayward early spring light that dripped through the weathered and wooden boards. He was tired, but he had kept moving. There was no stopping to be had, he had a mission.<br/><br/>Sighing deep he leaned his head against the back of the car. He had been walking for days, finding the tracks west and hitchhiking aboard a west-bound train. This was what was left of the Trans Siberian Railway now. A duel pair of tracks running east to west, but ending short of Siberia. It wasn't anything grand anymore, and the extent of its cargo showed in this.<br/><br/>As long as it was, the train smelled and felt empty. No new hay had been laid out in any of the stalls. What was left had either fallen through the cracks or turned to a wet spongy bed. Too cold to lay in, even for him.<br/><br/>Between floor boards Jun could watch the ground underneath whip passed at speed exchanging between slow crawl, and a brisk breezy speed. The sides let in too much wind, and it tore over him as he sat in the back.<br/><br/>Clearly this car wasn't used, nor would it likely any time soon. But it was there.<br/><br/>He had heard the train coming as he walked down the tracks. He heard its bellowing horn as it plowed west down the tracks. He had bound into the bushes along the side.<br/><br/>It was a massive monster of a turn-of-the-century engine. The smoke that coughed up out of it thick and black. Cars of faded red and brown trailed after it. Much of it had looked like it was being used. There were cars packed with coal, and tanks of gasoline or oil. Above the loud clacking and crashing of the wheels along the tracks he thought he could hear the sounds of animals. The bellowing of cows and the whinnies of horses.<br/><br/>He had hoped at the least there would be a warm bed between two cows. But when he jumped aboard, he had forced his way into an empty car. Now he could not hear the sounds of animals. Perhaps it was an illusion based on shallow hope. Or the cold had frozen them. Or it was the groan of the wood and metal.<br/><br/>Jun felt naked without his gear. But under fire he wasn't going to spend time looking for it. Without his pack he was reduced to a few rounds for his revolver, and hardly a edge to tune his sword on. In his pocket was a single canister of pills he'd need to register pain; it was probably why he wasn't freezing. And he had a small knife. But bandaging, communications, maps, and intel was all in his bag. And someone had grabbed that before he could.<br/><br/>The failure made him feel better. It was a hot rage. Anger tensed him as he looked at the glowing steel of his sword, teeth gritting. The light shone off it like liquid silver. Somehow he knew he'd have to get it back. Somehow. Somehow he'd re-establish contact, re-organize. Maybe after he killed his man in Perm. Maybe.<br/><br/>Through the boards he watched the countryside pass by. Hills and forests were giving way to more and more farms. And distant buildings could be seen over the terrain. Electrical poles marches along the tracks. He was drawing close to something. With a steady breath he sheathed his sword. He'd need to make the jump soon. And then came the tracking game.<br/><br/><b>Omsk-Kalachinsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>Farm fields stretched for miles in a smokey haze brought down by war. The rumble of engines and orders became a foggy blur between the sounds of weapons fire as the Chinese and the Siberians pushed west-ward. The roar of the weapons doomed to echo out everything else. Even through the narrow plate of thick ballistic plastic that made up a window, war was becoming a blur.<br/><br/>Push forward, pull back. Wait for return fire. The fields around Omsk had been churned to mud beneath the treads of the Chinese armor and the craters of artillery and mortar shells. What few stalwart men the Republic could produce were thrown like rats into the countryside where they dug in. Throwing over their heads nests of sticks and branches as they lay down in the wooded groves between the fields and between the corners. Tracer rounds lit up the grime that clouded Tsun's vision. It was the only thing clear in the mess.<br/><br/>But in the long days and nights spent driving the countryside. Moving from location to location to uproot a wooden pillbox the conditions of war was becoming as blurred and mundane as the orders shouted by his commander. At night, he lay behind the tank as it rested in the same trees they turned to shards. He stared into the cold, starry sky. And he was afraid. It was an unspeakable fear. He was afraid to go out, and then afraid he cared so little being in it when he came out.<br/><br/>Now again in the front seat he floated along on the sea of war. Riding over the waves of craters and earthen walls as they hunted the skyline of Omsk. Between the barren trees and the leveled forests the faint ghosts of the city lingered in the distance across the perfect flatness of Russian Siberia. Smokey clouds plumed over the horizon in the gray afternoon.<br/><br/>In the turret Song rode silent. Hui and Lin rested back against the walls, leaning against the gun as they waited out the deadness of travel. The clattering of the treads against the ground and the systematic rumbling of the engine blurred together into the same ambient song. They drove along the side of the railroad, what was left of the Tran-Siberian rail. The sound of the tank was almost in itself a train. Low, monotone. Constant.<br/><br/>“Friendlies at three and nine o'clock.” Song reported in a soft voice. He sounded as enthused as Tsun.<br/><br/>As they rocked up and down the gravel berm the tracks rode on Tsun felt almost sleepy. It was back again to long train rides from home to visit the relatives who had gone east for work. And those long rides back. It was all free, for the most part. There was no reason not to. When his parents could find the time off.<br/><br/>He had always slept well at those long rides.<br/><br/>Even the tank was starting to smell like the train. The light clinking of the shells sounding like the clattering of glassware as the food trolley was wheeled along the cabins. That same sound high note a drink made when in its coaster.<br/><br/>It was enough to make someone's eyes go heavy.<br/><br/>He leaned back into his seat. Fighting himself to keep awake. He'd need to be. But, he also felt he needed shut eye. The ride was smooth, for the most part. They'd been driving in a straight line for the better part of the afternoon. The sound of machine guns had waned. If there was anything left of external simulation, it was in the low distant thunder of larger guns. But the steel and the engine dulled this sound.<br/><br/>Tsun leaned back into himself. The cradling movement of the tank and the droning sound of the engine playing into that distant inspiration of sleep. If he could ignore the diesel, he could almost smell the tea. His grip on the controls relaxed. His shoulders dropped as he leaned his head to the side. His vision fogged as his lids dropped tired.<br/><br/>Song's voice said something. But it was distant. It almost sounded like the trolly-man’s. It almost sounded like the kick of a horse.<br/><br/>But it did not feel like a hammer to the head. With a bolting start Tsun was awoken from his daze as he was launched from his seat. The low hanging roof of the cabin was short at hand, and with a splitting crack it connected to his head. Pain shot down through his head like a spike of lead driven deep into his skull. His neck shuddered as a fiery splitting roar boomed in the empty drum of the tank and metal squealed outside. Loud bangs crashed against the right side of the tank. Outside he saw the world spin by as the Tei Gui swept to the side.<br/><br/>Shock washed over him as the dam in his head broke and he shuddered alert at his post. With a jolt he stepped off the controls and the vehicle was brought screeching to a halt. Debris pattered against the metal like rain as blood dripped through his hair and down the side of his face. He felt his face go gaunt and pale.<br/><br/>“DAMN IT!” Lin screamed. She leaned out of her chair, clinging to the side of her turret with bare white knuckled. Her shoulder inches from the sharply pointed tips of the explosive shells below her. Tsun leaned to the side, shocked and angry as Hui clung to his seat.<br/><br/>“Tread out!” Tsung screamed. He threw himself out of his seat, throwing open the turret hatch as the familiar sting of bullets smashed against the side of the hull. Sharp sparks and stinging pings of recoiling bullets hurried him back into the turret.<br/><br/>“Under fire!” he cursed, doubling back.<br/><br/>“From where!?” Hui shouted.<br/><br/>“On our left, eleven-fifteen.” Song called back.<br/><br/>“What about the treads though!” Tsun shouted back. He fought panicking with the tank controls, but only sluggishly turned the tank around drunkenly. He could hear gravel being kicked up against the underside of his carriage.<br/><br/>“For fucks sake stop!” Song roared in anger. “Lin, I want you to see if you can reconnect the treads. Hui, on her gun!” he boomed. “Tsun, get the hell up here and collect Hui's shells!”<br/><br/>Tsun stuttered shaken and shocked. His arms felt like rubber as he fought to climb out of his cramped seat. Already Lin was bounding out through the turret hatch, dodging a spread of fire as she vaulted the side. Hui was moving over. Tsun struggled over the rounds as the ensuing skirmish poured with thunderous applause through the open patch.<br/><br/>“Hostile target, two-hundred degrees, hundred meters! HE!” Song screamed.<br/><br/>“Wh-where?” Tsung stammered, confused. He looked at the targeting systems at his side, but could not make sense of the dials, or read half the labels and readings.<br/><br/>“Don't you fucking mind, put a shell in the chamber!” Hui barked, stuffing his hands into the side of Li's auxiliary machine. The turret turning as he made the adjustment.<br/><br/>Tsun leaned over the loader's seat, fumbling for a shell and grabbing one at random. Craddling the heavy cone of brass and explosives like a newborn in his arms he wormed back through the turret.<br/><br/>“WHERE'S MY ROUND!” Hui screamed over the cacophony.<br/><br/>“I- W- Ee-” stammered Tsun has he fought the chamber open. Hastily stuffing the loaded round into the gun and closing the breech.<br/><br/>“L-loaded!” he stuttered fearfully.<br/><br/>“This is Q-41I!” Song yelled into his radio, “We're damaged and incapacitated. We're taking fire!” he shouted. The sound of the firing canon briefly drowning out his voice as he bellowed their position into the mic through closed hands.<br/><br/>“Comrades!” Lin yelled from above, poking her head above the turret, “I need my tools!”<br/><br/>“Hui, crawl down by the engine and get Lin's tools.” Song ordered, “Tsung, on the machine gun. I want suppressive fire on those trees.”<br/><br/>“G-gun...” Tsung stuttered weakly, searing around him for the armament in question.<br/><br/>“It's in front of you for fuck's sake!” Song roared.<br/><br/>“Got Lin's kit!” Hui shouted. A brown bag soared past Tsun's face as he lay his hands on the turret's secondary gun.<br/><br/>“Tsun, I need fire on those trees!” Song continued to roar.<br/><br/>The sights of the machine gun were foamy and faded. A scratched and clouded scope in all cases. He felt hesitant to pull the trigger.<br/><br/>“Give us cover!” Song yelled, whipping the young driver on the back of the head. He was urgent, channeling his own fear to anger.<br/><br/>Tsun gave in, pressing on the trigger and firing. It clashed and rattled in his hands as he swept it. Firing outward. He watched as trees splintered and broke as each bullet bit into it. Faded figured got up to run, scattering from the chain of fire that he swept across.<br/><br/>“I think I can patch it up temporarily!” Lin shouted. She was barely audible over the sound, “But we'll need to pull back for permanent repairs as soon as I'm done.<br/><br/>“Get it done, we'll hold cover!” Song roared back, “I got help coming now.”<br/><br/><b>Hong Kong, China</b><br/><br/>There was a palpable curiosity as the auditorium filled. Bright young faces taking advantage of the distraction stepped in through the doors. Butting shoulders with the politically active older generation and the news crews. Light chatter filled the air. But all of it was hushed. Under dim lights they milled about, taking their seats.<br/><br/>From behind the heavy back-stage curtains stood Zhang Auyi. He fiddled nervously with the cuffs of his white suit. He fought to keep his breath steady. It wasn't the largest group he held court to. But no matter the size, he still felt nervous. The anxiety before stepping out before cameras would never go away. And he never believed it when his contemporaries said they didn't care, or notice.<br/><br/>Looking at the lights and the cameras he wondered if he could truly win this. His rivals were likely much well built. And that nagged him. It ate his guts like a insect. It only made it worse. Some had gotten a head start. He was only just beginning.<br/><br/>“Nervous?” a voice said behind him. Auyi turned, one of the stage hands. His simple jumpsuit was tied tight with a number of tool bags and pouches. Hanging in his lips a loose cigarette.<br/><br/>“A little...” he said.<br/><br/>The stage hand laughed softly. Leaning over to get a view of the small congregation. “They don't like that vicious.” he joked, “The young one's teeth are too unformed, and the old one's don't got one any more.<br/><br/>“But I don't imagine you've fought off worse sharks.”<br/><br/>“I have...” Auyi said, “But that was usually more personal.”<br/><br/>The man nodded, smiling quietly to himself. “You got a few more seconds. You ready?”<br/><br/>“I am.” Auyi nodded, pulling his suit down flatter, clapping his hands together.<br/><br/>They couldn't be that fierce a tiger. They were always more violent demons in the forest. He fought the thought into his mind. Planting it there. It would bring comfort. As much as the exercises in the back did. Deep breaths. Inhale. Four seconds. Exhale. The sun rose in the east, set in the west.<br/><br/>Set on Europe. He was in the east. Where the sun rose. He would be fine. Always.<br/><br/>“Comrades, Minister Zhang Auyi. Open press conference to Hong Kong University of People's Law.” an anonymous figure read as the lights in the audience dimmed. It was his cue. He took the stage with a confident stride. Turning out to the audience and smiling.<br/><br/>They at least were ghosts in the darkness.<br/><br/>There was a light pattering of applause as he took the podium at center stage. It was modest. Humble. Subdued. Not likely anyone knew enough to care. Just here for the sights.<br/><br/>“My brothers and sisters of Hong Kong,” he started, “It is with the grace of our beloved Hou that we now choosing a new path. As much as I'm sure we would love to see him continue, we must accept this as it is now. It is in his graces we seek for ourselves a course to the future. One to progress forward. One to meet our enemies on the doorstep, and to safeguard our Revolution in its finality, and in its continuation.<br/><br/>“We are the electors and the people's voice! We are the proud ones, and I do humble admit that now I request your assistance.<br/><br/>“It is today that I do announce my candidacy for the position of Grand Secretary of our New China. I, Zhang Auyi shall set his ship to sail to the waters of a better future. But the wind that steers me forward is not one made from divine right as others in less free nations will claim. I will not steer my ship from blood. I will not build it from gold stolen from the people.<br/><br/>“No, my ship shall be piloted by the people for the people. I understand this virtue and this necessity.<br/><br/>“We have only gone upwards in our last twenty years. I have fought for this present as many of you – or your fathers – have in the past. And I have not stopped fighting! Even with war no longer dividing us and preventing us from being a unified people there is still much work to be done. We have a status quo, but there is no use in maintaining this. We should push on! We shall build onto the Status Quo!<br/><br/>“China and her people deserve a brighter future! For the darkness we have been through. The people we have lost and the blood spilled we need better! It is not to say we now still live in such conditions still. Any person who might see can look out and find more rice on their table. They have their bread. They have their pork. We have our family. We have our hope. And we have our future.<br/><br/>“Our enemies say we are suppressed and ineffective. But it is only because they fear our own success.<br/><br/>“When I look at China now, I see a land of expansive hope and promise. We have come this far in twenty years, have we not? Now imagine, how much further can we go in a twenty more? How can I improve the nation? I shall promise a land in which every man is master of it.<br/><br/>“Congress now looks into this. And I accept their fight to expand the representation of everyone. To bring balance in our nation. Hou said so. And there is no man nobler than him. And if the nobelist of men say it is right, then it is.<br/><br/>“But there are parties who do not think so. And I refuse to sit by and let them not see this happen. To stifle our diversity and our common heritage. We are a rich – united – people and I will not sit by and see it squandered away in Beijing. The light of millions will be glow equally fierce, and none will no brighter than the rest.<br/><br/>“And the world will see us, and we shall be a model! And they shall see our wealth, and they will wish to be us! And the world as diverse as it is, it is not unlike China. Here shall be the testing ground for the world of tomorrow.<br/><br/>“And we will all grow. Even here in China. I promise that we will seek to expand our avenues. We will expand the wealth. And in it our influence. I make this no secret. We know it will be healthy.<br/><br/>“Openness for our country will be the way to the future. We are ready now! There is no threat the outside can have to our success. And there is no danger they have to fear in us.<br/><br/>“For Spain, we will prove we are a peaceful people. For our allies we will prove we will always be there. I promise we will reach for the stars.<br/><br/>“Brothers and sisters. Comrades. Let's build a new world for everyone.”"
22035,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-08-15 01:50:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Northern Russia</b><br/><br/>The sharp bitter taste of ash hung in the air. It petrified the other senses, dulling them in a haze of char and gasoline after burn. The stagnant sickening taste lingered in the nose as much as it did on the tongue as the ashes fell down to Earth. Smoke rose in a solid mass for the clear skies above. The area was warm, but not in a regular sense. The muffled sounds of distant gunshots still echoed in the clear wind as Yun-Qi walked through, a ragged cloth pressed tightly to his face; in part to the offensive odor that swam in the milky air.<br/><br/>His boots crunched over the broken brick and timbers of buildings laid to waste my mortar. Glass shards littered the wet slushy concrete from the windows that had been blown out. The brick and concrete behemoth that rose above the Russian wilderness base had been disheveled. By the shattered windows, heavy bullet holes, and thick black char marks it had been quick and violent.<br/><br/>Between the sheet-metal barracks rested stacked bodies of slain Russian resistance. Their uniforms torn and dirties by the mud and smoke. Patches of blood stained the thick woolen uniforms, ribbons drooled out from their mouths as they stared back at the examining officer with glassy eyes. Their skin like parchment as the snow fell on their cheeks as delicate crumbs of black and gray.<br/><br/>Leaned against the side of the command center were laid out the fallen bodies of his men. The Chinese who had given their lives had been laid out and arranged. There was more ceremony in their place than the Russians that had been tossed aside and stacked like chords of discarded wood. Their fallen comrades had been set on the ground like they were sleeping. At their sides lay their rifles and automatic weapons. A heavy blanket had been pulled over them, hiding everything above their ankles. And still their bodies were attended to as the examiners went between the fallen, or recently found were laid out.<br/><br/>“I'd say it would have been more effective if in the end we had not driven in circles around their base.” an officer said, walking up to beside Yun-Qi. He looked tired and pale. His coat had been tattered and a splattering of blood had been painted over a shoulder. A heavy collar of thick gauze was wrapped around his neck, holding in a bloodied wound.<br/><br/>“It certainly ended quick.” Yun-qi observed, looking over the scene of battle, “I had hardly come in with the rest. It was starting to quite. Do you know how?” he asked.<br/><br/>“All I know is that at one point we were making circles around their compound. I was first to tear through the fence in my group. We had it empty and we tore through the defense like I would expect from a tub of butter. But as we filled in I don't think there was much room to keep up maneuvers.” he pointed over to a collection of bent and crashed buggies<br/><br/>“I nearly got blind-sided but another cart passing between the CP and their firing range.” he said, “The Russians packed things hot and heavy in here. I think this place wasn't meant to house that many soldiers in this sort of space. Their command center looks too much like a prison, we broke into their yard.”<br/><br/>“A prison?” Yun-Qi quipped, “I can see that.” he nodded, looking at the parameter. The spindly, wooden guard towers formed an even enough parameter, and it'd explain the barb wire.<br/><br/>“So maybe if we rode you around the edge.”<br/><br/>“Wouldn't have stopped the stalling. I fucking hate those things.” the officer swore. Pointing to the wound on his neck he continued, “As soon as our cart stalled someone clipped me with a rifle round. If it was just a few centimeters off, comrade.”<br/><br/>“A terrible shot then, the Russians.”<br/><br/>“I'd say it was luck if I wasn't in this army.” he quipped.<br/><br/>“Now, why is it burning?” Quan asked bitterly, turning in the kicked up, blackened slush as he threw his hand out, brushing through the drifting soot and ash as it fell back down over them.<br/><br/>“I can't tell you.” the officer said, “After I got stuck and my driver and I took shelter in one of their bunkers we heard explosions. Must have been...” he paused, thinking, “Seven minutes in. If I can get back to my squad then we'll put together an after action report.”<br/><br/>“Good, good. Thank you comrade.” Quan Yun-Qi mumbled appreciatively. He turned and looked over the scene. “Is their headquarters secured?” he asked dryly.<br/><br/>“I believe it is. Man Hu went in with his men to sweep it out. They've been pulling out prisoners since. No word on their CO.”<br/><br/>“Keep looking then.” Quan nodded, “I need to ask some more questions.”<br/><br/>“Certainly.” the officer bowed, “We'll join up later for hot tea under a roof, shall we?”<br/><br/>“Consider it an open invitation.”<br/><br/>“As I would expect.” the lieutenant replied back as he turned. His boots scuffing along the whetted cement as he and his superior parted.<br/><br/>Along the sides of the open court yard sat in park or in salvage the buggies produced for them by the Siberians. Their spartan and open design clearly having not favored the battle well. And with the flurry of fight done, so were these motors silenced. Frames either dented, or blood splattered on the seats they sat quiet along the side. They were not nearly as touched as the smaller Chinese variants, which were looked at with a certain amount of pride by their users.<br/><br/>Not having been simply left behind, the Personnel Carriers that had so swiftly reinforced the spearhead into the compound were not left ignored or unwashed. Done with battle, their attendees crouched beside them, painting out the scars of war. Or patched what holes had been made in any one of their six wheels. In the aftermath, it was clear what horse the men favored, and which had unlikely bore the blame of casualties.<br/><br/>The piling dead and waiting wounded weren't the only things collected by the end of this. As Quan rounded around the corner of the immense plain brick and cement monster he walked along a gathering of prisoners. Battered, pale, and bloodied those Russians who had laid down their arms – wounded or otherwise – in battle were forced to crouch. Hands over their heads they sat in the cold mud facing the plain exterior of their command's barren gray wall. Patrolling the edge armed guards watched over the clearly tired defense as another dug through their weapons. Checking, counting, and cataloging the day's praise.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi didn't know where they'd go in the end. But what ammunition could not be used would be sent somewhere. The command wanted it so.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi was greeted by salutes as he passed. He returned the gesture in kind as he made his way through.<br/><br/>And beyond where the prisoners were being held, was the source of the ash. At the bottom of a low dip, behind chain-link torn and ravaged was were the Russian garrison had set itself. Flames fielded the shanty camp, chewing into the air and spreading like a field of toxic roses. A hundred trees of black smoke clouded into the air, carrying out over the fallen installation. The remains of the site raining down as the ash.<br/><br/>Standing posed and proud at the mouth of the muddy road leading to it stood Tsien Huang. His coat frayed with burns. Dented tank rested in the dirt.<br/><br/>“My work his done.” he said smiling as Yun-Qi walked up alongside him, “It is art, a victory.”<br/><br/>“An art?” Quan said in awe. He felt the shock in him like the wind that poured over his shoulders. Drawn into the breathing field of flame.<br/><br/>“Well, not all me.” Tsien admitted humbly, laughing. “I had help. But it forced many of them out.<br/><br/>“Comrade, I saw the leaves in the tree shudder and break from their branches!” he cheered, clapping, “I don't know if any cooked. But they ran as we drenched them in flame. These Russians, I don't doubt they were proud. But they are no longer.” he grinned.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi thought of the ragged prisoners. What army were they fighting indeed? Was this what turned them away years ago?<br/><br/>“What happened...” a shocked Yun-qi mumbled. He hadn't see this use of fire in a long time. Even on Mindanao had the flames ever been small and shallow. But there wasn't much the reactionaries could use to cause such fires. Glass bottle fire-bombs and aerosol cans. What was done so violently was for more primal urged to impress upon the enemy. Crucifixions, bodies rigged to explode. But not the unguided, unrestrained flame.<br/><br/>“Fire.” smiled Tsien, “Have you not ever been impressed by it?” he asked, “It gives life. It takes it. In my youth, I saw half of Nanjing burn in Japanese bombing. At a distance, I was awed.<br/><br/>“Now I am them. Now I am the Japanese.” He sounded cheerful, proud. His eyes shone with the same terrifying brilliance as the fire that engulfed the camp below. Yun-qi felt pity, and fear. And he wondered, what had Mindanao done to him that he never experienced.<br/><br/><b>Train to Perm</b><br/><br/>The rails could be felt as the train rode over top. Its weight swaying it side to side as it sailed over the small imperfections in its route. The rocks, the track laid just an intangible distance off. Or just the turning and wear on the tracks as it lethargically trailed through the terrain on slow, gentle turns. Rising up softly carved hills and passed barren farmer's fields. The dark loamy soil poking out from under snow melt.<br/><br/>In the back of a empty cattle car Jun's breath passed through his lips in a silky cloud. Head bowed he turned over the blade of his sword. The smooth polished metal shimmering as it caught the wayward early spring light that dripped through the weathered and wooden boards. He was tired, but he had kept moving. There was no stopping to be had, he had a mission.<br/><br/>Sighing deep he leaned his head against the back of the car. He had been walking for days, finding the tracks west and hitchhiking aboard a west-bound train. This was what was left of the Trans Siberian Railway now. A duel pair of tracks running east to west, but ending short of Siberia. It wasn't anything grand anymore, and the extent of its cargo showed in this.<br/><br/>As long as it was, the train smelled and felt empty. No new hay had been laid out in any of the stalls. What was left had either fallen through the cracks or turned to a wet spongy bed. Too cold to lay in, even for him.<br/><br/>Between floor boards Jun could watch the ground underneath whip passed at speed exchanging between slow crawl, and a brisk breezy speed. The sides let in too much wind, and it tore over him as he sat in the back.<br/><br/>Clearly this car wasn't used, nor would it likely any time soon. But it was there.<br/><br/>He had heard the train coming as he walked down the tracks. He heard its bellowing horn as it plowed west down the tracks. He had bound into the bushes along the side.<br/><br/>It was a massive monster of a turn-of-the-century engine. The smoke that coughed up out of it thick and black. Cars of faded red and brown trailed after it. Much of it had looked like it was being used. There were cars packed with coal, and tanks of gasoline or oil. Above the loud clacking and crashing of the wheels along the tracks he thought he could hear the sounds of animals. The bellowing of cows and the whinnies of horses.<br/><br/>He had hoped at the least there would be a warm bed between two cows. But when he jumped aboard, he had forced his way into an empty car. Now he could not hear the sounds of animals. Perhaps it was an illusion based on shallow hope. Or the cold had frozen them. Or it was the groan of the wood and metal.<br/><br/>Jun felt naked without his gear. But under fire he wasn't going to spend time looking for it. Without his pack he was reduced to a few rounds for his revolver, and hardly a edge to tune his sword on. In his pocket was a single canister of pills he'd need to register pain; it was probably why he wasn't freezing. And he had a small knife. But bandaging, communications, maps, and intel was all in his bag. And someone had grabbed that before he could.<br/><br/>The failure made him feel better. It was a hot rage. Anger tensed him as he looked at the glowing steel of his sword, teeth gritting. The light shone off it like liquid silver. Somehow he knew he'd have to get it back. Somehow. Somehow he'd re-establish contact, re-organize. Maybe after he killed his man in Perm. Maybe.<br/><br/>Through the boards he watched the countryside pass by. Hills and forests were giving way to more and more farms. And distant buildings could be seen over the terrain. Electrical poles marches along the tracks. He was drawing close to something. With a steady breath he sheathed his sword. He'd need to make the jump soon. And then came the tracking game.<br/><br/><b>Omsk-Kalachinsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>Farm fields stretched for miles in a smokey haze brought down by war. The rumble of engines and orders became a foggy blur between the sounds of weapons fire as the Chinese and the Siberians pushed west-ward. The roar of the weapons doomed to echo out everything else. Even through the narrow plate of thick ballistic plastic that made up a window, war was becoming a blur.<br/><br/>Push forward, pull back. Wait for return fire. The fields around Omsk had been churned to mud beneath the treads of the Chinese armor and the craters of artillery and mortar shells. What few stalwart men the Republic could produce were thrown like rats into the countryside where they dug in. Throwing over their heads nests of sticks and branches as they lay down in the wooded groves between the fields and between the corners. Tracer rounds lit up the grime that clouded Tsun's vision. It was the only thing clear in the mess.<br/><br/>But in the long days and nights spent driving the countryside. Moving from location to location to uproot a wooden pillbox the conditions of war was becoming as blurred and mundane as the orders shouted by his commander. At night, he lay behind the tank as it rested in the same trees they turned to shards. He stared into the cold, starry sky. And he was afraid. It was an unspeakable fear. He was afraid to go out, and then afraid he cared so little being in it when he came out.<br/><br/>Now again in the front seat he floated along on the sea of war. Riding over the waves of craters and earthen walls as they hunted the skyline of Omsk. Between the barren trees and the leveled forests the faint ghosts of the city lingered in the distance across the perfect flatness of Russian Siberia. Smokey clouds plumed over the horizon in the gray afternoon.<br/><br/>In the turret Song rode silent. Hui and Lin rested back against the walls, leaning against the gun as they waited out the deadness of travel. The clattering of the treads against the ground and the systematic rumbling of the engine blurred together into the same ambient song. They drove along the side of the railroad, what was left of the Tran-Siberian rail. The sound of the tank was almost in itself a train. Low, monotone. Constant.<br/><br/>“Friendlies at three and nine o'clock.” Song reported in a soft voice. He sounded as enthused as Tsun.<br/><br/>As they rocked up and down the gravel berm the tracks rode on Tsun felt almost sleepy. It was back again to long train rides from home to visit the relatives who had gone east for work. And those long rides back. It was all free, for the most part. There was no reason not to. When his parents could find the time off.<br/><br/>He had always slept well at those long rides.<br/><br/>Even the tank was starting to smell like the train. The light clinking of the shells sounding like the clattering of glassware as the food trolley was wheeled along the cabins. That same sound high note a drink made when in its coaster.<br/><br/>It was enough to make someone's eyes go heavy.<br/><br/>He leaned back into his seat. Fighting himself to keep awake. He'd need to be. But, he also felt he needed shut eye. The ride was smooth, for the most part. They'd been driving in a straight line for the better part of the afternoon. The sound of machine guns had waned. If there was anything left of external simulation, it was in the low distant thunder of larger guns. But the steel and the engine dulled this sound.<br/><br/>Tsun leaned back into himself. The cradling movement of the tank and the droning sound of the engine playing into that distant inspiration of sleep. If he could ignore the diesel, he could almost smell the tea. His grip on the controls relaxed. His shoulders dropped as he leaned his head to the side. His vision fogged as his lids dropped tired.<br/><br/>Song's voice said something. But it was distant. It almost sounded like the trolly-man’s. It almost sounded like the kick of a horse.<br/><br/>But it did not feel like a hammer to the head. With a bolting start Tsun was awoken from his daze as he was launched from his seat. The low hanging roof of the cabin was short at hand, and with a splitting crack it connected to his head. Pain shot down through his head like a spike of lead driven deep into his skull. His neck shuddered as a fiery splitting roar boomed in the empty drum of the tank and metal squealed outside. Loud bangs crashed against the right side of the tank. Outside he saw the world spin by as the Tei Gui swept to the side.<br/><br/>Shock washed over him as the dam in his head broke and he shuddered alert at his post. With a jolt he stepped off the controls and the vehicle was brought screeching to a halt. Debris pattered against the metal like rain as blood dripped through his hair and down the side of his face. He felt his face go gaunt and pale.<br/><br/>“DAMN IT!” Lin screamed. She leaned out of her chair, clinging to the side of her turret with bare white knuckled. Her shoulder inches from the sharply pointed tips of the explosive shells below her. Tsun leaned to the side, shocked and angry as Hui clung to his seat.<br/><br/>“Tread out!” Tsung screamed. He threw himself out of his seat, throwing open the turret hatch as the familiar sting of bullets smashed against the side of the hull. Sharp sparks and stinging pings of recoiling bullets hurried him back into the turret.<br/><br/>“Under fire!” he cursed, doubling back.<br/><br/>“From where!?” Hui shouted.<br/><br/>“On our left, eleven-fifteen.” Song called back.<br/><br/>“What about the treads though!” Tsun shouted back. He fought panicking with the tank controls, but only sluggishly turned the tank around drunkenly. He could hear gravel being kicked up against the underside of his carriage.<br/><br/>“For fucks sake stop!” Song roared in anger. “Lin, I want you to see if you can reconnect the treads. Hui, on her gun!” he boomed. “Tsun, get the hell up here and collect Hui's shells!”<br/><br/>Tsun stuttered shaken and shocked. His arms felt like rubber as he fought to climb out of his cramped seat. Already Lin was bounding out through the turret hatch, dodging a spread of fire as she vaulted the side. Hui was moving over. Tsun struggled over the rounds as the ensuing skirmish poured with thunderous applause through the open patch.<br/><br/>“Hostile target, two-hundred degrees, hundred meters! HE!” Song screamed.<br/><br/>“Wh-where?” Tsung stammered, confused. He looked at the targeting systems at his side, but could not make sense of the dials, or read half the labels and readings.<br/><br/>“Don't you fucking mind, put a shell in the chamber!” Hui barked, stuffing his hands into the side of Li's auxiliary machine. The turret turning as he made the adjustment.<br/><br/>Tsun leaned over the loader's seat, fumbling for a shell and grabbing one at random. Craddling the heavy cone of brass and explosives like a newborn in his arms he wormed back through the turret.<br/><br/>“WHERE'S MY ROUND!” Hui screamed over the cacophony.<br/><br/>“I- W- Ee-” stammered Tsun has he fought the chamber open. Hastily stuffing the loaded round into the gun and closing the breech.<br/><br/>“L-loaded!” he stuttered fearfully.<br/><br/>“This is Q-41I!” Song yelled into his radio, “We're damaged and incapacitated. We're taking fire!” he shouted. The sound of the firing canon briefly drowning out his voice as he bellowed their position into the mic through closed hands.<br/><br/>“Comrades!” Lin yelled from above, poking her head above the turret, “I need my tools!”<br/><br/>“Hui, crawl down by the engine and get Lin's tools.” Song ordered, “Tsung, on the machine gun. I want suppressive fire on those trees.”<br/><br/>“G-gun...” Tsung stuttered weakly, searing around him for the armament in question.<br/><br/>“It's in front of you for fuck's sake!” Song roared.<br/><br/>“Got Lin's kit!” Hui shouted. A brown bag soared past Tsun's face as he lay his hands on the turret's secondary gun.<br/><br/>“Tsun, I need fire on those trees!” Song continued to roar.<br/><br/>The sights of the machine gun were foamy and faded. A scratched and clouded scope in all cases. He felt hesitant to pull the trigger.<br/><br/>“Give us cover!” Song yelled, whipping the young driver on the back of the head. He was urgent, channeling his own fear to anger.<br/><br/>Tsun gave in, pressing on the trigger and firing. It clashed and rattled in his hands as he swept it. Firing outward. He watched as trees splintered and broke as each bullet bit into it. Faded figured got up to run, scattering from the chain of fire that he swept across.<br/><br/>“I think I can patch it up temporarily!” Lin shouted. She was barely audible over the sound, “But we'll need to pull back for permanent repairs as soon as I'm done.<br/><br/>“Get it done, we'll hold cover!” Song roared back, “I got help coming now.”<br/><br/><b>Hong Kong, China</b><br/><br/>There was a palpable curiosity as the auditorium filled. Bright young faces taking advantage of the distraction stepped in through the doors. Butting shoulders with the politically active older generation and the news crews. Light chatter filled the air. But all of it was hushed. Under dim lights they milled about, taking their seats.<br/><br/>From behind the heavy back-stage curtains stood Zhang Auyi. He fiddled nervously with the cuffs of his white suit. He fought to keep his breath steady. It wasn't the largest group he held court to. But no matter the size, he still felt nervous. The anxiety before stepping out before cameras would never go away. And he never believed it when his contemporaries said they didn't care, or notice.<br/><br/>Looking at the lights and the cameras he wondered if he could truly win this. His rivals were likely much well built. And that nagged him. It ate his guts like a insect. It only made it worse. Some had gotten a head start. He was only just beginning.<br/><br/>“Nervous?” a voice said behind him. Auyi turned, one of the stage hands. His simple jumpsuit was tied tight with a number of tool bags and pouches. Hanging in his lips a loose cigarette.<br/><br/>“A little...” he said.<br/><br/>The stage hand laughed softly. Leaning over to get a view of the small congregation. “They don't like that vicious.” he joked, “The young one's teeth are too unformed, and the old one's don't got one any more.<br/><br/>“But I don't imagine you've fought off worse sharks.”<br/><br/>“I have...” Auyi said, “But that was usually more personal.”<br/><br/>The man nodded, smiling quietly to himself. “You got a few more seconds. You ready?”<br/><br/>“I am.” Auyi nodded, pulling his suit down flatter, clapping his hands together.<br/><br/>They couldn't be that fierce a tiger. They were always more violent demons in the forest. He fought the thought into his mind. Planting it there. It would bring comfort. As much as the exercises in the back did. Deep breaths. Inhale. Four seconds. Exhale. The sun rose in the east, set in the west.<br/><br/>Set on Europe. He was in the east. Where the sun rose. He would be fine. Always.<br/><br/>“Comrades, Minister Zhang Auyi. Open press conference to Hong Kong University of People's Law.” an anonymous figure read as the lights in the audience dimmed. It was his cue. He took the stage with a confident stride. Turning out to the audience and smiling.<br/><br/>They at least were ghosts in the darkness.<br/><br/>There was a light pattering of applause as he took the podium at center stage. It was modest. Humble. Subdued. Not likely anyone knew enough to care. Just here for the sights.<br/><br/>“My brothers and sisters of Hong Kong,” he started, “It is with the grace of our beloved Hou that we now choosing a new path. As much as I'm sure we would love to see him continue, we must accept this as it is now. It is in his graces we seek for ourselves a course to the future. One to progress forward.

Trumpets shouted, and when they went quiet there was a fast, but folksy, clarinet solo. Two singers took the stage. One was a man with a salt-and-pepper beard, grinning and hopping to the beat. The other was a woman, taller than the man, with an olive-complexion and bushy hair reaching past her shoulders. Sahle watched the rest of the room nervously. The attack in the Dead Man's Den had him on alert, even after Vasily had mysteriously taken care of the problem. Vasily was with them now, on the other side of their table, but Sahle couldn't rest. He held tightly to Aaliyah's hand and spied on the other patrons.<br/><br/>They were watching the show. They were laughing, and talking, and flirting. Some drank, others paid more attention to dinner, tearing into their lamp and popping stuffed grape-leaves in their mouths. None of them looked Egyptian, but it was difficult to tell. The room was full of people who could pass for Arabs. Some were. Others were Persians. Most were Armenian, but many of them looked Arabic.<br/><br/>Everything in the room was a deep red. It was only the stage, with its heavy blue curtains hanging to the side, that looked any different. The floor was red shag-carpet, the tables draped in red cloths. Lamplight glowed orange and cast everything in a Gothic light.<br/><br/>""I am thinking Oziryan will be liking you."" Vassily warbled. ""He is smart at this business, you are knowing. Smart at this business more than the old man Horasian.""<br/><br/>""Will we be doing shows here, friend?"" Yared asked. His wiry beard was wet with champagne. Vasily had insisted they all wear suits, and when he discovered that they didn't own any, he had them outfitted. Yared and Marc looked ridiculous. The neatly pressed, pristine black suits did little more than accentuate how unkempt they were. Why Vasily had not insisted they shave and rein in their hair Sahle did not know. It occurred to him that, though they did not know it, their ""Samel"" was the only one who had any real experience with the trappings of wealth.<br/><br/>""Maybe, if you be wanting."" Vassily answered. ""Oziryan will be wanting favors, but I am not thinking that he means your work. Entertainers are not hard to find in Sevan, you friends.""<br/><br/>Sahle glanced up at the stage, at the prancing singers smiling like they were mentally unhinged, and hoped he was a better entertainer than that. He looked at Aaliyah.<br/><br/>She had covered her eye-patch with a lacy veil that only covered the one lost eye. Perhaps she hoped it would be mistaken for high fashion. Since they were sitting at the Owner's table, it was possible that it would. She was wearing a dress of pure white silk, in a way that made her look like she was ready for a wedding. In the deep bloody red of the club, she stood out like an angel suspended in hell. To Sahle, she almost seemed to glow.<br/><br/>""I apologize."" a young voice said. Sahle looked up and saw their host as he sat down. He was young. Younger than Sahle. Seeing him now, a pale skinned boy of a man with grease-slicked hair, Sahle couldn't believe that he could help him.<br/><br/>He was followed by two other men who wore pistol holsters over their shirts as if they were carnations. A woman was with him as well. Though she looked older than Oziryan, she was young. A blonde-haired European, with a sequin studded red dress that caught the light and glittered. She looked at him in a way that Aaliyah only ever did, as it made him suddenly aware of how slender her hips were, and how excellent her breasts must be beneath the tight-fit of her dress. Thinking about another woman's breasts was not infidelity, he reasoned. It was involuntary, and completely natural. Surely Aaliyah thought about how fat other men's dicks were, or whatever it was that women looked for in a man. Perhaps she was thinking about Oziryan's fat dick? That made him feel jealous for a split second before he realized his hypocrisy. He put it all out of his mind.<br/><br/>""I was talking to a friend in the foyer."" Oziryan said. He sounded strong and sophisticated, much more than a man of his age should be. Sahle considered that maybe he himself was getting old. He had never truly considered old age. It was always in the future, and the future was too far away to worry about. Now that he might be reaching it, it started to worry him. He had been the Emperor of Ethiopia at a younger age than Oziryan was now, after all.<br/><br/>""Apparently the Chinese are approaching Omsk."" he explained. ""I am curious how Russia will take it when the Orientals rule them.""<br/><br/>""They will be appointing Red Russians, I am thinking."" Vasily said. ""And Omsk is a long away. I am thinking that Russia will not be easy. She is not a girl who spreads her legs to the mongols""<br/><br/>""Siberia has, it would seem."" Oziryan added.<br/><br/>""Siberia is a floozy, I am thinking. Her vagina is wide open like the sea. She has had that many sailors too."" he chuckled to himself, and then bowed his head. ""I am apologizing to the ladies for my foul joking."" he warbled.<br/><br/>""So, Samel."" Oziryan said. Sahle felt a shock go down his spine from the way the Armenian talked. ""What are your thoughts on Omsk?""<br/><br/>Sahle paused. ""I don't know much about it, to be honest."" he struggled. ""Vasily is the only Russian I know.""<br/><br/>""Oh."" Oziryan said. ""Well, did you know that Vladimira here is Russian.""<br/><br/>""Finnish."" she corrected bitterly.<br/><br/>""Finnish."" Oziryan repeated. ""That is right. She worked with Viktor Laine and Juhani Mikhael, right up until the end.""<br/><br/>""I was their driver."" she explained. Sahle could hear the empty yearning in her voice. ""They were revolutionaries.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Oziryan replied. ""That is an apt way to describe people who fight in a revolution."" he paused for a moment to pull a cigar from his vest. ""They have done good by me, anyway.""<br/><br/>The upbeat Armenian jazz cut away and was replaced by a quavering Russian cello. The bandstand was moved to reveal a painted plywood scene of snow and pine-forests. Dancers took the stage, dressed like Russian boyars and Tatar warriors. The lighting dimmed and the room darkened, and the den of crimson reds was obscured by shadow so only small patches of velvet purple stood out near the flickering lamps. Across the table, Oziryan's face was lit up by the burning glow of his lit cigar.<br/><br/>""I am in the business of security."" he explained. All at once, he sounded twenty years wiser. ""It is not my primary business, but it is one of the many. I am told that you are being hunted by people from the south. I can stop this, but you have to come under my wing.""<br/><br/>""What does that mean?"" Yared asked.<br/><br/>""It means that when I need your services, you will comply."" Oziryan answered. The singing intensified, proud military horns joined the cello. The dancers were leaping, and there was a cool smoulder in Oziryan's eyes. ""I am in many business, as I have said. My brother and I started as weapons smugglers. My country helped me to become rich. Smugglers are important people. You come from Africa, you know this. The Emperor's of Africa have been Smuggler-Kings since Iyasu. Yohannes, Yaqob, Sahle..."" he paused, and Sahle felt a shock go down his spine again. ""I have bought guns from the last two. I have bought from Persia, and Canada and Spain. And I have sold plenty as well. I have the resources to make your problems go away. I have the resources to let you come in orbit around me and become rich because of this. You only need to answer.""<br/><br/>""I still don't get it, friend."" Yared said. ""What services? We aren't smugglers. Or killers.""<br/><br/>""No."" Oziryan paused. ""But there are many ways to serve.""<br/><br/>""How do we know this isn't, like, a hoax, brother?"" Marc spoke.<br/><br/>Oziryan smiled and pulled a small bag of white powder from his pocket. He slipped it over to Marc. ""You have some blow."" Marc said. Sahle could tell that had been enough to buy him, but the Armenian continued.<br/><br/>""I have a friend who procured this. There is an island of the coast of Venezuela that is owned by the person of Alfonso Sotelo. The very same man who is Prime Minister of Spain. The island exists solely for the purpose of growing his personnel supply. He has hired the best drug chemists he can find. He has men from Africa, from Columbia, even an American from the state of New Mexico. Their purpose is to distill a product so pure that it can feed his purported addiction. You are only allowed to reach the island on a single steam-powered paddle boat, a boat slow enough that hijacking it to flee would be futile. The hand-pick their smugglers, doing their best to check for any inconsistencies that would lead them to believe theft is in a smuggler's repertoire. They have armed guards, several private jets dedicated entirely to this venture. They do all of this, but what I have just handed you is his product. Sotelo's own cocaine.""<br/><br/>Marc stashed it in his jacket. Sahle had his doubts, but the thought of snuffing Sotelo's own snow was strangely exciting. He looked forward to it.<br/><br/>""Even if you doubt my claims, it still remains that you need help. If I can help you, you would do good to accept my offer. If I can't, you would owe me nothing.""<br/><br/>Sahle nodded."

As soon as he heard that Spain and Ethiopia would be at war, he jumped at the chance to retake South Africa without having to worry about outside interference. <br/><br/>So, the docks were more lively than ever before. For the first time since the end of the Great War, Britain was to take the first step in rebuilding her Empire, and restoring what had been lost so long ago.<br/><br/>Sitting within a small office room, in one of the buildings along the docks was the Admiral of the Fleet, Sir David Cunningham, currently on the phone with Prime Minister Pyke. <br/><br/>""Is everything prepared?"" asked Pyke in a hushed tone, despite being on a telephone.<br/><br/>""Yes, sir."" replied Cunningham. ""The men are enjoying themselves before we set sail at midnight.

22038,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-09-04 00:45:00,TheEvanCat,"<b>Joint Base Sevan Lake, Armenia</b><br/><br/>It was an hour into the morning, according to the watch on Haroud Abbasian's wrist. He rode in a white bus traveling down a lonely paved road through a forest, duffel bag stuffed awkwardly between his legs. He had donned his worn olive battledress the previous morning on his way to the train, and hadn't had a chance to change since. All of his worldly possessions were in the bag in front of him: the rest he had left at his parents' house in Shusha. He had told them of his decision to rejoin a week before the train from Stepanakert left, and that was that. No further discussion. They were less than happy, of course, but Abbasian had made his commitment. Beside him, another man sat silently in much the same way. Maybe he was pondering the same things. Nobody spoke on the drive through the dark night. The atmosphere was not unlike a prison bus: the bus itself was actually most likely surplus from the correctional facilities, and Abbasian noticed some screws bordering the windows that may or may not have once been used to hold bars in. It wasn't a palatable thought, so nobody particularly focused on it. Instead, the soldiers like Abbasian sat in the hard, ancient seats and looked at the ceiling or out the windows. They were on their way to the Armenian Army's Officer Candidate School.<br/><br/>Abbasian watched the faint forest speed by the window. The bus rattled as it passed over potholes and bumps in the road: the people responded in turn by being jumped up and down in their seats. He had been awake for almost a full twentyfour hours, almost. The night was beginning to take him in. Many of the others were asleep already: across the bus was a pair of Sergeants who had quite literally fallen asleep on each other. Abbasian felt his heavy eyes close, brought down by the sheer weight of exhaustion. Within seconds, he was asleep. But not for long. Instantly, the bus jolted to a standstill. The former Corporal, unprepared for the stop, almost flew straight into the back of the seat in front of him. The lights on the ceiling turned on, and the instructor who had, until now, sat wordlessly in the front had stood up. He was shouting at the top of his lungs. ""Get the fuck off the bus! Let's fucking go! Go, go, go! Grab your shit, Candidates!"" Behind them, a second bus's instructor was screaming the same thing. Abbasian was in a haze: he saw the front of the bus scramble to get off, making haphazard attempts to stumble over into the hallway. People ran into each other on their way off the bus, while the instructor continued roaring: ""You're not fast enough, Candidates! Get the fuck out! I want to see you<i>move</i>, you lazy fucks!""<br/><br/>Abbasian fell out into the alley, clutching his bag with a whiteknuckled deathgrip. Sitting near the back of the bus, he was thrust into the line of people all trying to get off. It was chaos, plain and simple. Nobody could function with the sudden environment put down on them. The Candidates slowly shambled their way towards the exit at the insistence of the instructor, whereupon they were unceremoniously pushed onto the hard asphalt and told to collect their bags that had escaped them. Abbasian went behind his seatmate, holding onto the ceiling's handrail as he dragged his feet to the door. The instructor, obviously not amused, grabbed Abbasian by the shoulders and howled: ""Why the fuck are you so slow, shitbag?"" A clearly rhetorical question that the instructor wanted no answer to, as he proceeded to throw Abbasian into a ditch by the side of the road. The former Corporal landed with a dull thud, and his bag landed on top of him. With a groan, he rolled over to face up and blindly grope for his duffelbag. The world was spinning. At the corner of his vision was Abbasian's seatmate: a darker-skinned man with a full beard and hair that slightly bordered on unacceptably long. His Corporal badge shone in the glare of the buses' headlights, and he offered a hand. Abbasian blinked, staring the man unsmilingly in the eyes. Abbasian's seatmate's expression never changed from a neutral, blank slate. The Corporal took his hand.<br/><br/>""Formation! Formation!"" the instructors cried. ""Two columns,<i>move</i>!""<br/><br/>The gaggle of Candidates were taking longer than the instructors liked, as evidenced by the audio haze of screaming and shouting. The dark forest seemed more alive than ever, with the Candidates learning their lesson within two minutes and assembling into a makeshift formation. Their backs were lit by the headlights; their shadows towering tall along the road. In front of them, five kilometers down the road, were the gates to OCS. The instructors jogged to the front of the formation, cupped their hands, and bellowed: ""Run, Candidates, run!""<br/><br/>Abbasian and his newfound partner shouldered their bags, feeling the weight drag them to the ground. Motivated by fear and adrenaline, they picked up their feet. Behind them, the instructors seemed to run faster. The Candidates, many of them out of shape, were easily surpassed by an instructor who was setting the pace. Others continued shouting at them for their lack of athleticism. Their megaphones carried their booming voices through the night, shaking the trees and instilling the deepest primal anxiety possible in the fresh Candidates. Abbasian's train of thought led him to believe that running faster would get him out of the way of their infinite wrath, so he pushed himself into speeding up despite the massive weight on his back. Behind him, his partner struggled to keep up. Abbasian's legs moved on autopilot: after a few kilometers he simply couldn't feel them anymore. Yet his sides ached, cramped and twisted, and his breathing was shallow and struggling. Others in the formation were wheezing - some violently - from the speed and the distance. It was there that Abbasian realized that this was a death march, or at least as close as the instructors could legally get to it. It was like basic training, of course. It was designed to break a man. And break men it did: at least one Candidate was vomiting onto himself and the road as he sprinted past the five kilometer point. They were on the home stretch, for now. As they approached, the gate to OCS appeared. It was almost like returning home.<br/><br/>The run was just the beginning. The instructors kept the pace going past the gate, directing them into a large grounds of asphalt in front of the main building's entrance. When the Candidates reached the assembly area, they were instructed to form up again. Remembering the events of a half hour ago, the Candidates - many fearful of another physical reprisal - formed without incident. Then, they were instructed to drop their bags on the floor while the instructors jogged to a small portable wooden podium that had been placed at the entrance. One of them, wearing his battledress with the instructor's gold cord and black beret, climbed on to address the crowd in front of him. Silence fell upon the Candidates for the first time: the only sounds heard were the exhausted breathing of the ones who were particularly hard hit by the run. Nobody moved or dare look away from the instructor on the podium. Their eyes were fixated on the man's godly posture and status. And it was true: for the next eight weeks, the instructors were gods on Earth. They had the power to overrule any divine order that came their way. Each and every Candidate now belonged to them. It was the kind of control that dictators in poverty-stricken African countries yearned for all provided legitimately and without strings by the Armenian government. They said that Hell was a place on Earth, and the stories perpetuated from the place confirmed that Hell took the form of Officer Candidate School.<br/><br/>""Good morning, Candidates!"" boomed the instructor with a sheepish grin and a Western accent. ""I trust you are awake and ready for the day now?""<br/><br/>He surveyed the motley group of Soldiers assembled beneath him, and shook his head. ""Don't answer that, Candidates. I know you're ready! Let me be the first to introduce you to the Armenian Army's Officer Candidate School. You have been selected to attend based on your demonstrated capabilities! It is here where we take you, crush you up into a little ball, and meld you into the ideal warrior leader that this nation deserves! I hope you enjoyed your little warmup today, because this is going to be your life for the next eight weeks. I don't want to give too much away, now: I must save that for your briefings. Today will be inprocessing day. You will register into our system so that you will transition in with little difficulty. Then, the fun begins! Enjoy yourselves, Candidates, but not too much!""<br/><br/>His laugh seemed diabolical to Abbasian. The instructor stepped down from the platform and into the midst of uniformed figures standing in front of the entrance. They all bore the instructor's cord, and they stood ready to facilitate the welcome. The Candidates were instructed to collapse their formation: the square of Candidates fell into a tightly-knit marching group. The former Corporal and his seatmate became shoulder-to-shoulder in the midst of a hundred other sweaty, tired Candidates. The order to march soon came clearly over the air, issued from an unseen officer with a megaphone. The mass of Candidates began moving towards their new gear, bunks, and briefings. The day from there on out was dominated by the hectic schedule. The Candidates, however fearful of another physical punishment, were complacent. They sat and suffered through the agonizing wait. But nothing came. And then they went to bed, climbing into the bunk beds in the concrete barracks to spend their first night at Officer Candidate School. Abbasian and his partner from the bus were assigned to the same room along with two other Candidates, and they spent the night staring at the ceiling as they tried to sleep. Nobody talked: Abbasian hardly even knew his partner's name. They were more than mildly concerned about reprimand, of course. The time for socialization was later. For now, they waited. The game had begun.<br/><br/><b>Bosporus Strait, Istanbul</b><br/><br/>It was like history had been turned on its head. Independent Istanbul had thrown out the Turkish military only three months earlier and proclaimed independence. The city's militia - consisting of ethnic Turks and minorities alike who believed in independence - had secured the borders in the establishment of this citystate. The Turkish government was in shambles after the death of the Sultan. Politically, their power had dwindled. The only thing left was military force. And their military had been forced out by less-than-savory measures, of course. Militias ramped up violent killings and kidnappings in the months before the Ottoman Empire's collapse. The Turkish had fled to their evacuation points in the chaos following carbombs at their mostly ceremonial barracks and parade grounds, militias hounding their trails and making sure that they didn't come back. It was a tremendous shaming rout for the Ottomans: another salt in their gaping wound. Their former capital, seized by a liberal revolt demanding citystate status. Their stated rationale was that they no longer belonged in a Turkic state, owing to their diversity. The Turks, seeing Istanbul as the rightful center of their empire, found themselves unable to cope. The remains of their government were exiled after a standoff in the Parliament, and had taken up shop in Ankara. But the threat of the Turks loomed on the horizon, as the new Turkish state prepared its counteroffensive. They would go down swinging, trying to reclaim what the Greeks stole from them.<br/><br/>The MV<i>Breadwinner of Rize</i>sailed through the Straits cautiously. While Armenia had expressed positive relations with Istanbul, the city was quite lawless. The Merchant Mariners were posted to their stations: 12.7mm guns overlooking the hull, men with rifles hunkered down behind steel plates welded to the rails. A pair of 23mm antiaircraft guns on the bow and stern were angled parallel with the deck to deal with far-off targets. No air power to worry about here. Mattresses had been pushed to the railings to deter grappling hook attacks, and sharpshooters trained by the Army were ready to take out a target that tried to climb aboard. Of course, Captain Vartanesian was less worried about the Istanbul criminal elements than he had been about Russian pirates operating out of Volgograd, but the Merchant Marine's advisory was clear: he needed to take precautions. Besides, the city was ready for war. The rumor mill was articulating stories of Turkish troops, fueled by vengeance and rage, preparing for a petty counterattack on Istanbul. They had lost their colonies and pulled back to Turkey proper. They had been humiliated at Ethiopia. If anything, they wanted their capital back. But for now, Istanbul awaited its next challenge. For now, Armenian and Georgian vessels were allowed through the Bosporus as part of an ongoing trade agreement: a emboldening opportunity for Armenia and its place in the world. The<i>Breadwinner</i>was selected to be the first Armenian ship to circumnavigate the globe.<br/><br/>Captain Vartanesian felt like it was a great honor. He would be the first Armenian ship commander to sail the globe. To his knowledge, nothing like that had ever happened before. Armenia was never a nautical nation. It had only gained the capability through the capture of the Rize and Trabzon ports. Captain Vartanesian had been a shipowner, chartered under a civilian Ottoman shipping company before the war, and had defected with his crew to Armenia. He now ran his own business, shipping back and forth between Armenia and Poland. As a pioneer of the Armenian nautical scene, Vartanesian was becoming widely respected amongst his peers. Not a bad place for someone who had dropped out of law school in 1955. A board of mariners had convened to say that he would be the one to break out of the Bosporus and Dardanelles. Alone, under Vartanesian's supervision, the<i>Breadwinner</i>traveled through the straits without much fanfare. Gaggles of Istanbul Armenians would congregate on either side of the canal to watch in a muted interest, while the rest of the city went about its business. The tension was everpresent. From the bridge, Captain Vartanesian could see Istanbul militias setting up flak cannons on flat rooftops. Mortars were being adjusted downrange to the east. But the<i>Breadwinner</i>sailed through without incident, even if something in the Captain's gut told him that the Armenians wouldn't be seeing the last of Istanbul for a while. The Greeks were approaching from the west: the Turks from the east. No official peace treaty was signed. Istanbul fell squarely between their claimed territories. Everyone knew what was going to happen.<br/><br/>But alas, it was not the concern for Captain Vartanesian. The crew breathed a silent sigh of relief as the ship exited the Bosporus and sailed through the Sea of Marmara. The sun glittered off of the diamond-colored seas, shining a shimmering orange up at the sailors. They unbuckled their helmets and lowered their rifles. A pair of dolphins played in the ship's wake. Two Greek patrol boats sailed in to escort, flanking the<i>Breadwinner</i>on both sides. Captain Vartanesian was expecting them - a thin smile gracing his pale lips - and responded positively to their hails. The Turkish Navy was busy steaming back and forth the coastline, transporting troops back home and being harassed by Cypriot aircraft. They offered no threat to what was now Greek waters. The Greek Navy - mostly privateers at this point - had locked down shipping lanes in the east Mediterranean. The<i>Breadwinner</i>was offered full transit rights of them, with a Greek escort for most of the ride. Their stopping points in the immediate future: Cyprus, followed by Crete, followed by a peaceful commercial visit to Italy. Each time the<i>Breadwinner</i>docked, the crew would visit the port and the businessmen onboard would trade with the local firms. The ship's cargo holds were loaded with containers carrying Armenian goods: mostly cultural things like perfumes, foodstuffs, and gifts. The voyage was meant to build relationships. The sentimental sharing of Armenian culture was decided to be the way to do it.<br/><br/>the<i>Breadwinner of Rize</i>slipped through the Dardanelles without incident as the sun set on the Mediterranean. Cyprus would be the first port call the next day. While Armenians were no strangers to the Cypriots - indeed, rumors of Armenian military forces based in Cyprus had been abound the past few months -, it was the first time any of these sailors had stepped foot in a Mediterranean land. The excitement was palatable on the ship. They could hardly wait.<br/><br/><b>Yerevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>The outskirts of the city were bare, the urbanization not having taken full hold yet. For the most parts, empty lots and industrial sheds or warehouses sparsely popped out of the Hrazdan River's banks. The city center's tallest buildings were silhouettes on the horizon: all dwarfed by the half-built Yerevan flak tower on the west bank. The one point of interest, however, was the north/south highway that snaked south to Nakhchivan and the lower Armenian provinces. It was clearly well-worn, built in the 1940s by Ottoman engineers for the purpose of traveling across their dominion. The two-lane road, divided by a grassy median with little to no modern conveniences, was cracked and littered with potholes. The chaos of the revolution had left no concern for the management of infrastructure: the Ministry of Transportation was merely a formality on paper without much funding or even a permanent office space. A new building in downtown Yerevan, erected within the prior months, had solved the latter concern. The Parliamentary vote on the National Recovery Agency's highway plan had allotted millions of newly taxed dram to the MoT. The NRA had begun aggressively hiring civil and infrastructure engineers - oftentimes military engineers just getting out of their conscription period - to survey and plan for roadways and infrastructural improvements. They now employed several thousand laborers to make that plan happen. And today was the first day of work. They had 150 kilometers of roadway to build in the initial stages.<br/><br/>Several newly-painted yellow construction vehicles lined the roadway. The existing lanes were being resurfaced, one lane at a time in a staggered method to allow traffic to traverse - albeit at a limited rate. Four more lanes were being added while in the city: a startling jump forwards from what had been established in Ottoman times. This was to support the predicted ownership of private automobiles as the availability of them and standards of living increased. The Ministry of War had also requested that these highways be capable of supporting military operations, meaning that the highways were to be used as a defense tool as well. The six-land road tapered down to four at the outskirts of the city, narrowing to three on the larger routes inbetween. Two-lane roads would be less-traveled, commonly known as parkways. They would be built around major cities like beltways, or as bypasses between major highway units. But the road about to be built was planned to be a major renovation and expansion. The ceremonies were over: Assanian's speech had rallied the nation to support the project. It would bring new jobs, new income, and new prosperity, he proclaimed. Now, thousands of men awaited the order to begin. The sun, rising over the horizon, cast its orange lights upon the workers. A watch clicked to six. A whistle blew. Engines started, equipment rumbled to life. The workday had begun.<br/><br/>The men walked to their jobs, toolboxes and tools slung over their shoulders in satchel bags. Clad in dingy jeans and flannel with some having stripped off their top layer to reveal striped blue telnyashkas, they donned yellow hardhats and climbed aboard their vehicles. To pave new roads, the land in front of them would need to be flattened. Advanced surveyors had determined the necessary courses of action, and bulldozers were busy filling in ditches and scraping down hills to ensure a uniform path for the lanes. Roadworkers had traveled to the potholes needed filling with hoses and mixers filled with asphalt. While it was dry out, water and debris was removed from wherever there was a need before asphalt was filled in. Crews would then cut a square out of the pavement to ensure even sides for the repair before filling the pothole with asphalt. A steamroller would come along and compact the fresh fix before they moved onto the next one. It was a hard day's work under the beating summer sun. The men were drenched in salty sweat. It dripped off their hair into their eyes and mouths, stinging along the way. Progress was slow, yet steady. It would take time to build the roads, for sure. By the end of the first day as the sun began to set, most everyone knew this. The whistle blew eight hours later as their day ended. Another rotation arrived from the nearby worker's camp to take over for the evening. After them, a graveyard shift. And then the cycle would start again.<br/><br/>For the men laboring away, nothing could be better. They had a job. They had money. They were doing their patriotic duty. For them, it was their sacrifice that President Assanian so often talked about. Almost each and every single one of them held the earnest belief that their work was shaping their nascent nation."

Clacking of his leather dress shoes against marble tile echoed through the cavernous hall and beat a martial rhythm to which his entourage bodyguards and of assorted goons marched. Behind him they traded folders and parlayed in hushed, hastened tones; preparations made ahead of the words their Prime Minister would soon declare before the whole of the Earth. Sotelo shared none of their concern.<br/><br/>Suited guards standing at rigid attention on either side of a doorway nodded respectfully as their head of state approached. From beneath the threshold, the dull roar of a gathered crowd could be plainly heard. Sotelo stopped before the threshold and took a brief pause, collecting his thoughts as his fingers wrapped around the handle. His shoulders rose and fell as he took one last deep breath. He siezed the handle and drew open the door, leaving his entourage behind as he stepped outside to make history.<br/><br/>Beyond the doorway was a bannistered patio overlooking the parkland of the grounds; an empty platform of tile and mortar save for a vacant podium at the fore that beckoned Sotelo forward. On the manicured grounds beneath, a throng of camera-wielding onlookers leveled their lenses and took aim at Sotelo as he stepped outside. A thousand lightning-flashes of white light greeted the Prime Minister as he approached the podium. Camera apertures snapped shut again and again, joining together with the polite applause of ten thousand onlookers and journalists. Crews representing the televised networks honed the lenses of their tripod-mounted cameras as their Prime Minister took to the podium decorated not with the coat of the Second Republic as would be expected - but that of Alfonso Sotelo's administration: a red shield emblazoned with a white lion.<br/><br/>""Spaniards,"" Sotelo began, gripping the podium and pulling himself to the triad of microphones pointed up to his mouth. His cold eyes scanned about the gathered throng, immediately squelching the applause. ""Italians, Portuguese, Maltese, French, Prussians, Americans - and all people that desire a just world - I thank you for joining me today. Whether you stand here in the very nexus of this great nation, or instead listen by radio from some far-flung post on the very fringe of the world, I thank you all for joining me for the passing of this moment into history... This watershed moment that will be remembered henceforth for as long as history is written down.<br/><br/>""Today is a day four years in the making. Since the day of my inauguration, I have lost much sleep to see that the efforts of the coming days came to pass - this endeavor born from the dark days in the summer of 1976. That black August, where Marxist fanatics - brutes who attempted through sadistic means what they could not accomplish through the channels of democracy - so callously ended the lives of three hundred of our countrymen, destroyed the very center of governance of our nation, and in so doing stole from us the greatest statesman Spain has ever seen.<br/><br/>""For four years, we have remembered our dear Miguel Tejero, but on this day, we avenge him!""<br/><br/>Applause erupted from the audience at this juncture, putting Sotelo on hold as he held his leveled hands out, signalling for quiet once more.<br/><br/>""Today is the day that the Republic takes the offensive against the communist threat. As I speak, our grand Armada has positioned itself off the coast of North Africa and begins now its assault against an expeditionary force of the armed forces of the Ethiopian Empire. In a bid to expand their socialist sphere, an Ethiopian army has moved in recent days to claim Egypt - leaderless and adrift in the collapse of the Ottoman Empire - to lay claim to their northern neighbor. Today the battle has been joined.""<br/><br/>""The Republic will tolerate the presence of a socialist state on its periphery no longer - the zenith mark of global communism is today, from now on it shall recede across the globe as in Africa. From this day forward, the armed forces of the Second Spanish Republic have been wholly committed to the destruction of the House of Yohannes and the liberation of Africa from socialist meddling. The hour for diplomacy and negotiation has passed; the might of our Republic's armed forces takes the place now of bargaining and talk.""<br/><br/>""And to those sympathizers of Marx - puppets of the Chairman Hou - know that nowhere on this Earth will you be safe from the wrath of a vengeful Spain. The hour of your reckoning has come at long last - and we will be the ones to administer it.""<br/><br/><b><i>Golondrina</i>, Port Fuad, Egypt </b><br/><br/>Klaxons rang through the interior of the cruiser, sending soldiers bursting forth from their cabins into winding hallways of riveted bulkheads and metal. Boots rumbled down the grated floors as they coursed through the vessel's insides like rats scurrying from a sinking ship. Red strobelights washed over the faces of the vessel's security detail - among which was the fresh Ejercito recruit Luis Morazan. Red light illuminated a worried visage as he made for the sunlight at the end of the corridor.<br/><br/>No sooner than Luis stumbled out into the harsh white light of the Egyptian sun, he was directed by a shouting deck officer to the prow, where the rest of his squad had taken up position along the waist-high extension of the hull that demarcated the edge of the deck. Luis fell in alongside his companion Hector and a smattering of deckhands - all distinguishable from the Ejercito soldiers by metal flack jacket draped over their chests.<br/><br/>""This is it, cabron!"" Hector grinned, jabbing Luis in the side with his elbow. ""We get to see some fucking action!""<br/><br/>Luis gave a weak and unconvincing smirk before glancing out to the scene playing out around him. Beyond the water, a little less than a mile away, the twin ports of Said and Fuad smoldered - evidence of the battle between the Ethiopians and the forces of whatever Egyptian warlord had assumed control of this swathe of the former Ottoman Empire. Columns of black, acrid smoke joined the minarets of the the Port Fuad Mosque in reaching into the hazy, azure sky. And betwixt the two ports, straddling the Suez Canal and the path of the Spanish armada, was a single warship anchored defiantly in place - her guns pointed at the great flotilla lumbering toward it.<br/><br/>The<i>Aksum</i>, Luis had heard it called, was all that stood between the Spanish Armada and the coast of the Ethiopian heartland. The fifty warships of the Armada could have reduced the lone Ethiopian ship into a hunk of scrap at the bottom of the canal without the slightest difficulty. And that - Admiral Santin seemed to believe - was exactly what the Ethiopians wanted. The canal as it was could only barely accommodate the draught depth of the heavy Spanish destroyers or the mighty aircraft carrier that served as the Armada's flagship:<i>La Ira de Dios</i>. A sunken wreckage across the floor of the canal would render it impassible to anything heavier than a dingy for months, forcing the Armada to backtrack across the Mediterranean and steam across the entire coast of Africa - giving the Ethiopians a month and a half or more to prepare their defense. If the Spanish were to attack from the Red Sea - the<i>Aksum</i>had to remain intact.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian ground forces that had taken up position at the mouth of the canal, however, had no such importance to the Spanish mission. They were to be destroyed with extreme prejudice. Luis could feel the cruiser's engine rumbling under his feet; crushing waves beneath it's steel bow as diesel smoke belched forth from a smokestack amongst the radar masts and antennae. The two 80mm turrets that comprised the<i>Golondrina's</i>primary armaments pointed steadfastly forward, but the smaller deck guns could be heard chattering as they turned portside - toward Port Said. As they pivoted toward the cities, a pair deck officers marched by briskly pushing a cart of firearms by as they went. Wordlessly, one of the officers shoved a FE-74 assault rifle into Luis' arms and continued on down the line. The ugly, metal contraption felt greasy in his fingers and stank of gun cleaner. Luis had practiced extensively with Spain's standard issue rifle in basic training, but this was the first time had held a gun in a combat scenario. It felt so much heavier than he remembered. Beside him, Hector grinned widely as he inspected the weapon in his arms.<br/><br/>""Listen up!"" A deck officer commanded as he strode by the Ejercito contingent and the armed deckhands. ""As of 14:35 local time, the Prime Minister has issued a declaration of war against the Ethiopian Empire! The<i>Estado Mayor</i>has passed down orders to engage the Ethiopian armed forces or other hostile elements in Port Fuad and Port Said!<br/><br/>""What that means is you are to hose the shit out of anything without the God-given sense to get out of the way of our Armada!"" The officer explained. ""The deck guns will have the first volley - after they have fired, weapons will be free! Under no circumstances are you to fire upon the Ethiopian vessel anchored in the canal! Do I make myself clear?""<br/><br/>""<i>Entendido, senor!</i>"" Was uttered in unison.<br/><br/>""Then lock and load!""<br/><br/>The FE-74s made a metallic clank as their levers were pulled forward and the safeties disengaged. Luis, upon readying his weapon, glanced up at the bridge above them. The captain was visible through the glass, looking through a telescoping eyeglass. He slapped the instrument shut and pointed at the base of a collection of tenement buildings. Luis' eyes followed his fingers and saw what he was pointing at: figures darting through alleyways and into the wharfside edifice. For the first time Luis had seen the enemy with his own eyes.<br/><br/>""Hostiles sighted!"" Was called from the team manning the deck gun. A sweat-drenched deckhand donning a flack jacket spun a handcrank wildly, gradually lowering the cannon down to the appropriate angle - the third or fourth floor of the building. Once the gun had been aimed, the deckhands loaded the breaches with two shells the size of a fire hydrant. Screeching gulls, pops of gunfire coming from the harbor, and the sound of waves breaking against the hull prevailed for a moment.<br/><br/>The calm was broken by the roar of thunder across the water. Fiery flashed burst from the deck guns of a nearby cruiser, and then the cruiser directly behind the<i>Golondrina</i>.<br/><br/>""<i>ABRAN FUEGO!</i>""<br/><br/>A deafening blast shuddered the deck of the<i>Golondrina</i>, and again a second later... followed shortly after by another two blasts from the battery at the rear of the cruiser. A loud ringing buzzed through his ears as he recovered his hearing - a sound followed shortly thereafter by cheerful whoops as puffs of pulverized plaster and brick came off the top of the tenement building, bringing down a large chunk of the facade in a shower of debris. All along the waterfront of Port Said, clouds of smoke were materializing as Spanish shells pummeled the last-known position of the Ethiopians.<br/><br/>Rolling thunder came again from across the sea, this time behind the<i>Golondrina</i>- a salvo so loud and so powerful that the sheer concussive force of the blasts shook Luis' insides. The destroyers had joined in the assault. Above their heads, the heavy shells whistled through the sky and then arced down, landing deeper into Port Fuad and Said. Great plumes of fire and black smoke blossomed as the heavy shells found their mark - if there was any target at all to begin with. The destroyer volley was more probably a message - the Spanish would suffer no obstacle to stand in their path.<br/><br/>A flicker of movement along the waterfront drew Luis' eye - an armored truck of some sort, speeding along the waterfront road. A wet hiss could be heard over the sound of crashing shells in the distance as it drove past; his eyes registered a flicker of white. Behind him, the deck officer's eyes widened and he braced himself against the metal side of the deck next to Hector.<br/><br/>""HIT THE DECK!"" The officer screamed.<br/><br/>A triad of white contrails bobbed and snaked across the water toward the cruiser from the truck. Like a striking Hydra, one of the missiles fell upon the upper hull of the<i>Golondrina</i>, rattling the vessel to its core. Another missile weaved over the lip of the hull and planted itself down into the superstructure of the cruiser - blooming fire and smoke before raining hot scraps of steel down upon the hull. Luis ducked under the lip of the hull and covered the back of his neck as the rockets jarred the ship.<br/><br/>""OPEN UP ON THAT TRUCK!"" The deck officer screamed hysterically as he scrambled back to his feet. Hector planted himself back onto his feet and joined the rest of his squad in firing upon the truck speeding down the road. Arpeggios of assault rifle reports rang out across the cruiser as the armored truck made its getaway, soon joined by both of the cruiser's deck guns - eager for revenge. Mushrooms of pulverized asphalt sprang up on the heels of the truck as it drove away, eliciting small arms fire from behind the corners of tenement buildings. Splashes of water and metal pinging against the hull announced to the Spanish that they themselves were under attack. The armed deckhands and Ejercito squads quickly reverted their attention and returned fire on the Ethiopian fireteams across the harbor.<br/><br/>Luis, however, had not fired a single shot - and the deck officer had noticed that he had only come up from cover to peek out at the situation before ducking back into cover. The officer seized Luis by the collar.<br/><br/>""Whose side are you on?!"" The deck officer demanded, choking the panicked Luis.<br/><br/>""Your side!"" He gasped. The officer dragged Luis up to his feet by his collar.<br/><br/>""Then act like it!"" He barked, pointing out across the water. ""Fucking shoot something!""<br/><br/>Luis nodded shakily and unleashed a string of bullets across the water. His heart wanted to explode every time a bullet clanged against the cruiser's hull, but fear of the officer kept him firing upon his Ethiopian adversaries. A few meters away from Luis, one of the deckhands caught an Ethiopian bullet to the shoulder, sending him to the deck screaming and clutching at a bloody crater beside his neck. The officer came to his side and flagged a medic down, who immediately set about applying battle dressing. Luis had never seen so much blood in his life. His heart palpitated and his stomach nearly wrung out his lunch onto the deck - and he had only been at war for a little under ten minutes.<br/><br/>As he peered out from behind the lip of the hull to fire, the nearest deck gun exploded with another two reports. Before his very eyes, the deck gun shell hit an abandoned car - obliterating it in a fireball of ignited gasoline. At least two Ethiopians had taken cover behind the car, and Luis saw as both of them ran out from behind cover - each totally ablaze. They ran across the waterfront road toward the harbor. One made it and landed in the water with a foamy splash, the other was less fortunate and caught a bullet in the leg. The burning fighter fell to the pavement, still alive, still burning profusely. The African soldier made a dogged attempt to crawl to the seawall, but the flames soon overtook him and snuffed his life out.<br/><br/>Luis' stomach could not handle the sight of the smoldering man in the distance. Vomit poured down over his chin, and the the fresh recruit collapsed to the deck and fainted."
22040,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-09-09 23:04:00,Chapatrap,"<b>Guard HQ Building, Batumi, Georgia</b><br/><br/>The last time the Guards leadership had met, it had been for Davits birthday and they celebrated it by telling jokes, getting drunk and spinning stories late into the night. The same men sat around the table right now had changed more in 6 months since Davits birthday than he had ever expected. Father Botkevli, a local Orthodox priest with a dwindling congregation, had grown his black beard long and it made him look 25 years older, if not a bit wiser. Comrade Dadiani from the Georgian People's Liberation Force, a communist force that was growing quickly in northern regions, had gained several new facial scars since Davit had last seen him and his straw-blonde hair had grown several inches so that it now reached his shoulders. Along also were Davit's friends and colleagues, 'General' Elchin (the Azeri) and Captain Milidani (the skinhead boxer). Missing was Sabauri, a man of the Guard who led a small unit in the countryside outside of Batumi and 'Pikey' Zagreb, out on a mission with his partner, Tamaz. He was probably skulking through some grass somewhere or drunkenly pissing up the side of a countryside pub.<br/><br/>'Gentlemen, I'm sure you have all heard the dark news' started Davit gravely, bowing his head respectfully. 'Two days ago, a local woman was found raped and stabbed by a patrol just one mile from this location. We have not yet located the men responsible for such a crime against humanity but the report from the lads who found her say they saw a heavily armed group of 5 to 7 men talking in a Dagistani dialect or Azeri. Elchin's men unfortunately reached the woman too late and she died in the middle of the road in a pool of blood'. He paused, gauging the reactions of the men around him. As expected, each showed expressions of sadness, regret, anger and hopelessness. Father Botkevli even blessed himself and murmured a small prayer. 'As of now, we number at 85 men in the Batumi City Division of the Georgian Guard. We are poorly armed, the price of food is growing by the day, the people of Batumi are unemployed, crime is growing and as of today, the Armenian smuggler is now refusing to send shipments to our docklands for fear of arrest by the Turks. I'm afraid, gentlemen, we may be out of options'.<br/><br/>There was silence as each man shifted in their seats, uncomfortable. Sometimes it felt as if protecting the people was too big of a task for this many men and not even worth it. 'What are we doing then?' rasped Father Botkevli, scratching his beard. 'If we do not have the resources to protect the people, then it seems a pointless task. What are we to do? What options do we have?'. No man wanted to admit it but the priest was correct. A silence descended on the table. 'Well, I reckon we have a few options. We could disband the Guard entirely and let every man go for himself. We could move away from Batumi entirely and go into hiding in the mountains. Maybe Dadiani's crowd will take us in' said Milidani, nodding at the blonde communist. 'Or, we could do my idea'.<br/><br/>Elchin narrowed his eyes at the Captain. 'And what my that be, Milidani? Go down the pub for a pint?' he growled sarcastically. 'Fuck off, Elchin' said Milidani, a sly smile on his lips. 'I have an idea I think we could try, if you lads want to hear it'. Davit nodded and sat back on his chair, lighting a cigarette. With his leaders approval, Milidani went ahead. 'So since we've started, we've not really done much to hurt that bastard on top. We've twatted a few of his men, yeah, we've stolen some of his weapons, we've smuggled shit in, you know the rest. But we've done anything to really shock him. For all we know, he might not believe we even exist. We're like a piece of annoying blue mould growing slowly in that corner you keep meaning to clean but keep forgetting about. So what I suggest is we do something that involves killing his men, stealing his shit, maybe taking a few hostages or setting up a camp somewhere. Anything that'll get the fucker's attention and starts fights. We get his attention, we get the attention of the people. Fuck, I bet half of Batumi doesn't know who the hell we are and we've been going for two years! We do something that gets the attention of the city and we get a few more men in. We get more men in, Turks start cacking themselves and then we take the city over!'<br/><br/>'Fuck off, Milidani' snorted Elchin. 'You suggest something like this every time we have a meeting and we give you the same answer - we don't have the resources!'. Milidani scowled but to his surprise, Dadiani spoke up for the first time. 'That's not too bad, actually. I could probably see if I can get some lads from the Liberation Force in to help if you did something like that' he said. 'What would we do, though?' argued Elchin. 'We don't have the resources to attract attention. We've got men, a flag and an ideal. The Turks have got guns and I'd rather die with a proper gun in my hand than this second hand shite we've got'. Elchin looked at Davit for help and was surprised to see the man procrastinating, his eyes fixated at the ancient light fixture in the ceiling. 'Do you remember the parades we used to watch as kids, Elchin? The one's with the tanks and the flags and the guns and the marching bands?' he said suddenly. 'Yeah. Those things are why I joined the army' answered Elchin. 'We could do something like that, maybe. Walk down the main street with flags and all that, attack any Turks who have a go at us. Maybe hand out some of the last shipments of food we've got left to the people. They'd like that. And then, like Milidani said, we could set up a camp or something in the main square and claim it for ourselves'.<br/><br/>All men around the table stared into space for a moment, the idea of the Guard's symbol flying in the wind near cheering crowds enthralling them all. 'Why the fuck not?' said Elchin, shrugging. 'We'll probably die in a year if we keep going like this anyway, so why not go out with a bang? See if we can get some new blood in and if we start getting attacked by the Turk's men, we can get some sympathy votes from the gullible bastards'. 'I'd be down with that, as long as we can hand out a few Manifesto's' said Comrade Dadiani. 'And Bibles' cut in Botkevli, never one to deny spreading the word of the Lord.<br/><br/>'All right, so it's decided. We'll sort that out for later this week. A parade. What a fucking good idea' said Davit, laughing. The sombre mood of the table was forgotten as the other men joined his laughter. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all.<br/><br/><b>Undisclosed house, Batumi, Georgia</b><br/><br/>The Georgian woke with a start and immediately felt a dull pain on his temple. 'What the fu...?' he murmured, groggily attempting to pull his wrist up to his face. But it didn't move. It took him a few seconds to realise he was chained to a radiator in a dark place he didn't remember entering. 'Shit....Erm, honey! I know you like this stuff but I'm not sure I'm really comfortable with it any more' he said loudly, his voice cracking slightly. Moonlight shone through a broken window and he could see pieces of broken glass covering the floor, reflecting the light. It was completely devoid of all furniture and as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could just make out a doorway. And a dark figure inside it. His footsteps approached him quickly and soon he was looking into a face cloaked in darkness. There was a click beside his ear and when he turned his neck, he was horrified to see the dark barrel of a gun.<br/><br/>'Don't shoot' he whimpered, now fully awake. 'Then shut your mouth' came the hoarse whisper back at him. 'Why am I here? Don't shoot' whimpered the soldier. 'I told you to shut your mouth, you bitch' snarled the man, swinging at the man's arm with the butt of his gun. The soldier cried out in pain and received another hit in the same spot for his troubles. The man made no noise but breathed through his nose hard like a nervous dog. The man's face stared at his for several moments before he whispered again. 'Now then, lad. I want you to stay quiet and only talk when I tell you to. If you don't, I'll cover that radiator with bits of your head'. He said it with no remorse and instead clicked the gun again. 'Do you understand me, bitch?'.<br/><br/>Bitch nodded quickly, whimpering slightly. 'Okay then, Bitch. I'm going to ask you a few questions to pass the time while my associate gets here. I love a good game of 20 Questions. When he gets here, I'll ask him if he's satisfied with the answers you give and he'll decide your fate. So if you answer these questions the way I like them, truthfully, maybe he'll feel less inclined to blow your brains over that radiator. One thing I cannot stand for in this world is liars. What about you, Bitch? Do you like liars? Are you a liar?' he growled, holding the gun close to his ear. 'N-no, sir. I-I don't like lying at all' he answered, his voice shaking. 'I think I like you, Bitch. We think on the same wave length. It'll be a shame if I have to blow your brains over that radiator. Are you ready for your questions?' he sneered in the darkness. Bitch just nodded.<br/><br/>'Good, Bitch, good. My first question - who do you work for? What's your job?' he said as if it was the most terrifying and life threatening question in the world. 'I'm a soldier for Batumi. I-I work for General Polat in the first Batumi regiment'. The man didn't answer and Bitch winced, as if preparing to be shot for the wrong answer. 'Very well. Next question. Where do you go to work everyday? Where is General Polat based in?' he said finally. 'I live and work in the old Turkish barracks in the North. We usually go out on patrol and make sure no one hascontraband. I don't see General Polat much, he spends most of his time in -' Bitch stopped suddenly and the colour drained from his face. 'Go on, Bitch. Tell me where General Polat is' said the man, clicking his gun very close to Bitches' left ear. The Georgian soldier gulped and then continued. 'General Polat spends most of his time in the Tsar and Sultan Hotel in North Batumi. He-he lives there too'.<br/><br/>The man stood to his feet and for a quick moment, Bitch hoped he'd walk away. But no, he was reloading his gun audibly. 'Big walls, pre-Turks, fancy gardens, private beach, highly guarded, yeah?' 'Yes...sir' said Bitch, feeling depressingly small. 'Hm' was the man's only answer. He finished reloading his gun and then bent down onto one knee to come face-to-face with Bitch. His back was to the moonlight and this darkened his face. 'Well, Bitch, my associate will be making an appearance in a few minutes. I thought I'd ask you about the stuff you do at work. What kind of weapons do you have? What was this contraband stuff you said you look for? What patrols do you go on? While I'm at it, what are you paid? How much? What currency?'<br/><br/>'I-I don't need to tell you that....sir' he said daringly, testing the waters. 'Oh, you don't, do you, Bitch? You don't remember, is that it? Let me jog your memory' growled the man, placing the gun barrel inches from the soldiers mouth. A warm, wet patch spread out from the soldiers pants and he realised he had pissed himself in fear. 'I-I remember now. Please don't kill me. We're given these foreign guns-' 'Where from?' interjected the man. 'I-I think Turkey. They're rifles, we get ammunitions from the dock every so often. Please don't kill me. We search suspects for illegal foods, weaponry, ammunition, explosives, passports, anything pleasedon'tkillme!' whimpered Bitch. 'Keep going' hissed the man with the gun. 'We patrol all areas around the city. There's no pattern, they just send us to areas and tell us to do random searches or set up checkpoints. D-on't kill me, please! I get a wage of 2,000 lira a month. That includes food, weapon upkeep and my bed in the barracks. Please don't kill me, please, I'll tell you everything, I have a wife, justdon't please, please' the man's head flopped down and he began a series of noisy, wet sobs.<br/><br/>The man stood up and sighed. 'Oh Jesus, it's my associate!' he said loudly, as if he had practised it. Another man appeared in the doorway, a taller man. The soldier glanced up and gave a small scream. 'Please sir, don't, please' he began to sob again. The man looked at his associate and rolled his eyes. He nodded and the associate pulled out a gun from his pocket. 'No, sir, please, don't please no!' the soldier screamed as the associate approached him. His screams were silenced by the butt of the gun hitting his temple and the soldiers head flopped forward, out cold. There was silence in the abandoned house again. 'Crybaby' muttered Zugreb, going through the man's pockets. 'How'd it go, lad?'<br/><br/>'Not bad. I was shitting a brick all the way through, though. I hate being that mean to people' admitted Tamaz, putting his gun in his pocket. Zugreb stood up and patted his partner on the shoulder. 'Don't worry, lad, we learned a lot of good stuff from him. It's hard but this information is crucial. My first interogattion ended with me pulling out his teeth with a pair of pliers' smiled Zugreb. Tamaz nodded and stared at his feet. 'Next time, don't call him a 'Bitch' so much. I could hear you from the kitchen!'.<br/><br/>'What happens now?' he said, feeling sorry for the poor man he had just terrified. 'We kill him?' 'No. We'll drop him in someone's garden and they'll probably get him to the barracks when he wakes up. Now, come on. Help me lift him and make sure not to forget any details he said! We've got a report to write'. Tamaz nodded and began unlockin the Soldier's handcuffs. He felt guilty yet he had spared the man's life.<br/><br/>It was a strange feeling."

Two large, square towers flanked the doors, which had been made of the finest oak. The stone was lime and decorated in parts with sandstone. Despite being handed over to the Georgian Orthodox community in the 30's, very little changes had been made. Years of dwindling congregations, low funds and lack of support from the Muslim-plurality had taken their toll on the church and what was once a proud church was now a run down shadow of its former self. On this particular morning, however, followers of Mohammed and Jesus Christ made their way inside respectfully.<br/><br/>The back pews had been removed for fire wood and the ones that remained were chipped and plagued with signs of wood worm. The floor was made of simple stone, rough to the touch. Fading light peered in from the large, stained window that hung over the Altar. It seemed the only part of the church kept in good shape were the remaining statues and paintings that depicted scenes from the New Testament. The altar's tabernacle had been ripped from the ground by long-gone Ottoman soldiers and the altar now resembled a glorified stage from which a simple book holder held a tattered bible. As the men took their seats on the pews, speaking in hushed tones, Father Botkevli and Elchin stood at the altar and patiently waited for silence. Silence came in moments as each man of the Guard realised where they were, in the house of God.<br/><br/>'Well, gentlemen. I'd first like to thank Father Botkevli for allowing us Muslim heathens into the church' started Elchin, stepping forward in front of the book stand. The Armenian rifle had been left at home but the strap still hung around his shoulders and he wore full Guard uniform. There was a light smattering of laughter among the Islamic men, who took the joke in good humour. 'I asked you all to come to the church this morning for a meeting of grave importance. Our usual meeting place isn't as large as this church, so I've decided it might be better if a majority of you listened in. As many of you have probably already heard, a certain slippery Armenian smuggler from Poti has decided it is too dangerous to make the trip down to Batumi every week with supplies, so we are completely cut off from the world. Our primary goal is make sure the people of this city stay safe with food in their bellies and a roof over their head. As General Polat masquerades as leader of his so-called 'Republic of Adjara', he decided recently to raise taxes of imported food in order to, in his words, 'protect the local agriculture' He paused, gauging the reactions of the men. All sat stony faced and grim, similar to how he had last night.<br/><br/>'We all know, of course, this is just his chance to line his pocket with a few more Turkish coins. Last night, the leaders of our organisation held a drastic meeting to decide what our next move would be. With the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, rising food prices and our limited resources being stretched even thinner, we came to a conclusion. We have two choices - disband the organisation or make a stand'. There was a collective cry of horror and surprise from the crowd of 50 men, who had grown fond of their place in the Guard. 'Calm down, lads. We chose the latter' smiled Elchin. There was a cheer from the men and some sighs of relief.<br/><br/>'Next Friday, we shall begin a march from the headquarters to Aziziye Square, working up a crowd. When we have acceptable numbers, we shall fell the statue of Sultan Suleiman III and occupy the square throughout the night. If the soldiers arrive, we all know what to do' The Guard cheered louder than before, feeling the hype. 'In the meantime, we are looking for anyone who can play a brass or drum instrument to volunteer in our march and play a few tunes, drop by Davit's house for more information. We're also asking that you keep quiet of this until next Tuesday - it is crucial to the march that people are aware of us yet not so aware that we're overwhelmed by Polat's troops. Now, any questions?'<br/><br/>'What about the Aziziye Mosque? Are we takin' that down too?' came a shout from the back of the room. 'No. The Imam is following a strict policy of neutrality in Batumi politics and we'd ask you all do the same. Guards shall be posted near the mosque to protect it from any potential troublemakers. The last thing we need is a Holy War between Christians and Muslims' answer Elchin, nodding to Botkevli. During Turkish rule, tensions between the two religious groups had occasionally resulted in clashes and Batumi was well know for it's Christian-Muslim plurality, something the Guard had tried to play down. Muslim or Christian, you were a Georgian national according to the Guard and could expect the same protection. Even so, a majority of the Guard was made up of ethnic Georgians, Russians and the occasional Armenian. Azeri's and a small group of Dagestani's made up the Islamic side of the Guard and it was crucial that the Guard showed no religious favouritism.<br/><br/>'What about the HQ? Are we abandoning it?' came another shout. 'No. Several small units shall be placed in crucial areas in the city but we expect most eyes shall be at the Square. The plan of the occupation is to get in contact with Polat himself and see if we can...negotiate a few terms' grinned Elchin, cracking a knuckle. There was laughter and cheers from the men, who all hated Polat as much as Elchin.<br/><br/>'Are we taking over the city?' shouted a guard. There was a pause before Elchin responded. 'I don't really know, friend. A lot of this is in the planning stages at the minute - I just thought a lot of you would like to know what's happening next week. Now, I think we should finish things up. Would you like to say a few words, Father Botkevli?'<br/><br/>The priest took his place beside Elchin. 'Yes, thank you. I'd just like to remind you all that our 'President/General Polat' does not distinguish between your race or religion. Just because you're an Azeri or a Catholic or a Georgian doesn't mean he shows you favouritism. He hates all of us equally, for we are nothing more than annoying flies to him. But his tyranny has gone on for too long - just yesterday, a young pregnant woman came to me looking for help. Her husband has disappeared, she says and she has no food. I gave her what I could but something became clear - our resources are low. I reckon I have a week more of resources left before I run out. People in this city are hungry, cold and dying. We must give it the kiss of life and by God, if that means killing General Demir Polat with the butt of his own rifle, then I would proudly do it myself!' said Botkevli, passion rattling his voice. The bearded priest received a roar of appreciation from the crowd, who began stamping their boots on the cracked stone floor and chanting 'BATUMI, BATUMI, BATUMI'.<br/><br/>Botkevli and Elchin joined in, the allure too strong. When the men finally calmed down after several minutes, all were red faced and hyped. 'Well, gentlemen, I believe this is the end of our meeting. I forgot to ask my son to write out the notes this time but fuck it. You're all on patrol in an hour, get going. We're still looking for men who can play in a band and remember - the march is next Friday, 6am sharp at HQ! Now, say your farewells and get on patrols - we've got Turks coming in at all sides but we won't falter with a bunch of lads like you in the Guard!'<br/><br/>There was a final cheer and a splattering of clapping from the men as they stood up to leave. Botkevli and Elchin retreated to a small room behind the altar and when the door slammed with a final bang, they shook hands and shared a hug. 'It went well, I think' said Botkevli, grinning behind his almighty beard.<br/><br/>'A bit too well, if you ask me. I bet half the city will know about our little march next Friday before the day ends' smiled the Azeri.<br/><br/><b>Guard Headquarters</b><br/><br/>When Giorgi Patarava came into the kitchen at 9 in the morning shirtless and wearing a pair of boxers, he hadn't expected see several men in full Guard uniform crowded around the table. 'Mornin', lad' said Davit cheerfully from the table. 'Morning, Dad' said Giorgi hesitantly, hovering around the door frame. 'Are you having a meeting or...-' 'No, we're going out' interrupted one of the men, standing to his feet. 'Just organising this little march thing Elchin was telling us about earlier. Pub later, Davit?' The Guard leader shook his head. 'Got shit to sort out. Another night, maybe'. The Guard nodded and the shuffled past Giorgi along with his unit.<br/><br/>When the front door closed, Giorgi welcomed himself into the cold kitchen. Davit sat at the table, in full uniform for once. 'You out this morning?' asked Giorgi, eyeing the uniform. 'Yeah' grunted Davit. 'Zugreb and Tamaz wanted to see me. They've been scoping the Square and spying on the barracks. It's not great news'. Giorgi picked up an uneaten piece of toast and took a seat across from his father. 'How come?' he said, spreading a precious square of butter on the toast. 'We don't know how many men Polat's got - sometimes there's a few hundred, last night there was near a thousand. And Tamaz thinks they might have a tank in those barracks' grumbled Davit, sipping on some tea. If there was one thing that wasn't in short supply in Batumi, it was tea. Massive tea plantations owned by Polat across the Adjarian Republic were worked on by thousands of natives for meagre pay. Polat apparently had some kind of deal with the Ottomans and delivered the tea across the Black Sea. However, with the collapse of the Ottomans, much of the tea was now being sold at cheap prices to shopkeepers who now had more tea than they knew what to do with. This loss in profits for Polat meant that high tariffs were put on importing food, so now everyone had tea but no biscuits to dip in it.<br/><br/>'A tank?' smiled Giorgi, bemused. 'Yeah. Not sure if they have any shells for it but it's probably used as a scare tactic. Polat hasn't been seen in three weeks as well, which means he's up to something' said Davit, clearly annoyed. 'Those lads I was just chatting to have orders for the march next Friday to try and find out where that slimy Turk has got to'.<br/><br/>'Speaking of the march, what are us Youths doing in it?' asked Giorgi, munching on some toast. 'You'll be near the back marching in line with Botkevli's congregation and behind the Liberation Force men' growled Davit, a warning to his son not to argue. His son frowned but did not speak. He instead noticed a copy of the 'Adjarian Press', a weekly newspaper that was heavily influenced by Demir Polat's regime. 'Will they be there?' he asked, showing Davit the paper. 'Hopefully not' snorted Davit. The Adjarian Press was notorious for it's pro-Polat bias and often reported on made-up stories of certain 'terrorist' organisations attacking Polat's tea plantations. In reality, a small unit of Guards based in the countryside under a man named Sabuari, a semi-insane guerilla fighter who had gotten fed up with hiding in the shadows of the city and had started a small hit-and-run force in hills, attacking isolated barracks and convoys. It was often jokingly said that Sabuari was better armed than the Batumi Georgian Guard as his force was so small yet well armed.<br/><br/>'Don't you have patrols?' asked Davit. 'Milidani said we're doing them this evening' replied Giorgi, not looking up from the newspaper. The two had a rather strange father-son relationship. They tended to argue a lot more than regular people and Davit was often quite gruff with his son but all the same, they had stayed close ever since Giorgi's mother had died. In times of hardship, they had protected each other and took offence at the suggestion that one of the pair was a 'useless old man' or a 'stupid fucking kid'.<br/><br/>The sun peered through the moth-eaten curtains of the kitchen window as father and son sat at the table, both engrossed in their own thoughts but relishing this moment. Both knew after the march, it would be a long time until they shared such a moment again."
22043,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-09-22 17:45:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Novosibirsk</b><br/><br/>Radios echoed like ghosts in the hall. The still and patient officers that manned them sat at a handful of desks. Arranged in an orderly file they went through the incoming briefs from the field, compiling them to paper in a certain rigidity. Their faces as stoic as cold rocks as they listened into the heavy frame-built headphones that crowned their ears.<br/><br/>These weren't men that would see battle, and they looked the part. They were too clean, and too gentle in the face to have ever felt a bullet graze their skin. In their uniforms they looked more collegial than military. More bureaucratic in olive than soldier in blood. Even if they wore the effects at their sides, the pistol, the knife. But even loaded for the off-chance they were really more of a decoration than weapons.<br/><br/>Behind the scene, a sergeant stood post alongside a door. Much like the room it was in, it was sparse and barren. Arms wrapped behind his beck he stood at attention as one of the radio men got up out of his seat, and walked to the door. A file in hand.<br/><br/>“Step right in, comrade.” the guard saluted, stepping aside. The radio operator paid him little heed. It was if anything a bore of a formality, just about everyone understood that much. By shift's end they'd probably be drinking together with the Russians, trying their best to avoid the following hang over.<br/><br/>With a groan he opened the door, stepping inside in an office on the edge of ready to move.<br/><br/>“Shàng Jiàng Hue Wen.” the officer said, this time stopping at attention as he brought his hand to salute. He looked towards the window of the office, where leaned the coated and robed figure of the general of the Chinese forces in Russia. Alongside him his Russian counter-part, by far a more grizzled and ragged individual. Compared to the trim and refined, pressed dress of Wen, the Russian was a civilian by stature. A tattered brown wollen coat with a fur ushanka.<br/><br/>“Jūnshì.” nodded the general, “What have we got today?”<br/><br/>“Report from the north, comrade.” the soldier said, holding out the manilla folder, “Quan Yun-qi reports he has taken the targeted site, sir.”<br/><br/>“Very good, thank you.” the general said, taking the folder and waving him off.<br/><br/>“You're welcome.” he replied, bowing as he stepped back out of the room. The door shut softly behind him as Wen turned to his companion.<br/><br/>“Why do we bother to take such a secluded station.” the Russian scowled. His voice was thick and heavy. It nearly turned his Chinese into gibberish. He frowned under his thick wollen beard as he watched his Chinese partner round back to the window.<br/><br/>“So we can break our enemy's back.” Huei Wen replied, “I don't want to give them any more positions to mobilize from that I can't control. If I can reduce the range they can move freely through, the better. Means we can starve them in their cities, and we control what really matters.”<br/><br/>The Russian scoffed, “The cities are what we should be taking. There's too much wilderness in Siberia for us to contest!” he protested.<br/><br/>“I know. But that's why we take key positions.” Huei Wen laughed, flipping through the after action report. “That site is worth it, since it gives us a position to spring from. And we can shut down that area of their communications network. Choke the high and low bands with too much noise and keep them deaf and dumb.<br/><br/>“At least it's what I've been told I could do. Of course means we mute ourselves.”<br/><br/>“That aside, what do we take from this victory, except a wilderness prison.”<br/><br/>“Code book.” Wen said confidently as he held open one of the pages as he turned it to the Russian.<br/><br/>The bear studied it intently. The handwritten Chinese keeping him slow no doubt. “We'll arrange to pick it up one the first supply drops and we can keep ahead of the Republic for the next few weeks at least.” wen continued, “You know that well, don't you?”<br/><br/>“I do.” he said, “But it's a short-term victory. What more can we do with that outpost?”<br/><br/>“Well, apparently most of the original camp fields were burned down. So I see an airfield potential there. We got a northern angle on here clear to their capital. We can bomb them as asymmetrically as we need, and the Bureau can fly the rest to look out for anyone moving to take out the prison.<br/><br/>“We can close down Surgut from there, force its surrender by the end of next month.”<br/><br/>“And what then?”<br/><br/>“And then?” Wen said with a smile as he turned to the window, “And then I leave for Omsk. As soon as that city is ours - or most of it is – I want to be there on the front with the rest of the soldiers. I'm not going to let the distance between there and Novosibirsk dilute what I need to know. I need to know what's going on. I need to see the music played.”<br/><br/>“Music?” the Russian scoffed, “What fucking bullshit are you talking about? I haven't seen or heard of song in war.”<br/><br/>“Aye.” the Chinese general grinned knowingly, “Not for some centuries, comrade. But there's still a time and place. You'll know it. You'll need to follow me when I uproot.”<br/><br/><b>Kalachinsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>Loose treads rattled across battered pavement as the tank limped back into base. Around it ran the excitement of war. Trucks and small cars laden with the bloodied and battered sped past. Then it passed deadened streets, where hardly wandered a soul. Through the dusty and foggy windows of thick plastic glass there could be seen the depressed wanderings of lost dogs, or the few odd townsfolk who had returned to their home to try and live a normal life in the midst of war.<br/><br/>The sounds of cannons and gunshots crumpled and were muted out. Replaced with the thin flashing and smacking against the hull the loose treads. Heavy wire held the metal plates together, and that already sounded like it was coming undone.<br/><br/>Clearing the silent streets the lumbering tank rolled into the center of town. Ruinous buildings still lay torn and shattered across the street. But in part the very center was open and immaculate. A busy atmosphere swarmed around the town hall, where now hung Chinese and Siberian banners, red as blood and orange as the morning sky. Men parted from their runs, escorting incoming supplies to their stockpiles to be later distributed. Work was being done on a towering radio mast being erected on sandbag and brick anchors.<br/><br/>The grinding of the broken feet of the steel beast of burden brought to their attention the engineers, who immediately flagged down the Tei Gui, directing Song to alongside their command post.<br/><br/>“You back so soon?” shouted the mechanic as Song threw open the hatch to pull himself out, “What happened? Hell, you can't be out of shells already!”<br/><br/>“We got our treads hit.” Commander Song replied. He hissed bitterly around his words, sitting himself on the rim of the hatch.<br/><br/>“Fucking Hell. Alright follow me around back. We'll look at it.” the Mechanic growled, stepping aside.<br/><br/>Sun Song had yet to come down from the anger of being crippled. For too long a moment they had been rendered vulnerable, because of blindness. As his new driver followed the mechanic as he waved them around, making great exaggerated waves of his hands, he wondered how long it would take. Or if the means to repair the damage had even arrived yet. Much of it looked ready to move in a moment. What they had he feared was set up to service to catastrophic damage.<br/><br/>And he wanted to be out there. He could hear the fight still raging over the radios. The vague indications of position and the response calls. Squadrons were beginning to close in on Omsk. Stay tuned to Combat Radio.<br/><br/>They moved around back of the town hall. Where parked in rank and file were the many damaged vehicles from the war effort. Stacks of bricks, chairs, heavy tables, bed frames, or anything that could be moved and sustain the weight of the Chinese jeeps, buggies, and trucks had been brought out. And arranged on top the work load of the logistical and mechanical corp. Burst tires, frayed chassis, and other menial sources of labor. And in the furthest corner a pile of the already destroyed, burned remains of war's effects.<br/><br/>In that pile of steel and shattered glass there was no distinction made between Chinese or Russian. And no doubt to the mechanics if there were any parts left in working order they'd use it, if it fit. Anything to keep from more requisition paperwork.<br/><br/>Alongside the building say a record player. It looked battered and charred. Bullet holes had cracked open its wooden casing and the arm of the needle was bent. And the ply-wood shell speakers didn't look in any better condition. But it worked. It was soft in comparison to the rumble of the tank engine. Barely there, a whisper. But it played its songs. Homely. Chinese. Sounded like Wen Chaoliang.<br/><br/>Sun Song looked down at it. Whomever had repaired it did a good job. It sounded like home.<br/><br/>“How long?” Song shouted from the turret, turning from the battered record player to the mechanic officer.<br/><br/>“Shit, I don't have all the equipment I could want to do a perfect fix.” he shouted back as he motioned for the vehicle to stop. He bit his lip nervously as he motioned to kill the engine, “But I can try to hook something up with the boys. You're the first armored casualty we had this entire front. I hardly got the cranes to lift one of these up.” he spoke much softer now the sound of the diesel engine had cut out.<br/><br/>“Fuck.” Song swore, leaning his head into his hand.<br/><br/>“I'll try something out here. My men and I might be able to make something out of scrap to lift it up enough to get into it and throw a new link over where you got tore up. But I can't promise same-day service. I could be twelve-twenty four hours.”<br/><br/>“That's just what I needed.” grumbled Song.<br/><br/>“Look on the bright side,” the mechanic smirked as he walked to the side, “Get to have a bit of a breather.” he laughed.<br/><br/>“Who did the patch job?” he asked suddenly, leaning down alongside the side of the tank.<br/><br/>“I did!” Lin shouted from within the hull, pulling herself out. A bright look of victory shone in her eyes as she smiled.<br/><br/>“Well, I shouldn't be surprised.” the mechanic scoffed, looking up at the brimming Lin as she pulled herself out, “Any case, I'll still see what I can do. So long as I can find the cable cutters.”<br/><br/>He nodded, pulling himself off. Sliding down alongside the soldier he still didn't feel at ease with the prospect. But then sometimes he felt he should be off the field when it was hot. It was confusing, and he was still angry.<br/><br/>“Just...” he started, “Just see what you can do.”<br/><br/>“Understood, comrade.” the man said, pulling out a flashlight from the heavy utility belt wrapped around him. He shone the light up into the underside of the vehicle, searching for holes and further damage. “What'd you hit, if I might ask?”<br/><br/>“We were driving along the tracks and we rolled over a mine.” Song said in a low voice, he looked up at the hatch as Li Tsung pulled himself out. He still looked visibly shaken. Pale. His eyes were deeply apologetic, child-like. He shot a sorry frown as he saw his superior officer glaring at him.<br/><br/>“He the one?” the mechanic said, just above a whisper.<br/><br/>“Unfortunately.” Song nodded, “Can you hold on to him, while I think something over.”<br/><br/>“The fuck is he going to do?” the mechanic said, aghast.<br/><br/>“I don't know. Help. Something.”<br/><br/>“I'll find something.”<br/><br/>“Private Li Tsung!” Song shouted out. Tsung froze seated on the iron, barreled nose of the vehicle he piloted, “I want you to stay here. That's an order.”<br/><br/><b>Perm, Russia</b><br/><br/>The train came to a stop with a rattle and a whistle. Jun could feel the cars slow under him, and come to a jaunty stop minutes later. With a rattle of the chains and the loose boards around him it was confirmed that his icy ride had drawn to a stop. He could still see his breath before him as he stood up, creeping across the moldy straw-packed floor. His fingers stroking the hilt of his sword he pressed himself carefully against the wooden side, peering out. All he could see where trains. Rusted iron trains. Faded beaten wooden ones. A light gray smoke hung in the air around him, a fog of mist from off the breaks and from the engine.<br/><br/>He couldn't hear anyone. So train yard security had yet to come. That's for sure. He'd need to act fast. Throwing open the doors he did that. Taking the jump out of the car and onto the cold gravel below.<br/><br/>Parked on either side marched on large curves in the ice and snow marched the long snaking body of another train. A tanker, but the looks. But the peeling white paint, rust in the hinges, and the massive amounts of scrawling and accumulating graffiti suggested that its use had been negligent in recent years. Crude messages in Russian littered its side in black paint and marker. And as he crawled along its cold side keeping an ear for people out came across bottles filled with snow and ice that had been stored on its iron-wrought carts.<br/><br/>Snow rested banked in banks under the cars and alongside. They rose up in waves and wrapped over the hitches between the cars, burying those sections that were ignored.<br/><br/>And echoing in the distance he could hear those voices he suspected. Lonely and tired, shouting in the distance. They were out and were about to do their sweep through the cold fog that hung over the city. And catching his breath Jun stopped. Listening.<br/><br/>They were ahead, of course. But to how close he couldn't say. Stalking backwards he placed his hands on the cold tanker hull. Feeling down it as he moved through the cold snowy gravel. Looking for a ladder. His hands hit the metal rungs, and he grabbed hold, pulling himself up. They were rough and cold in his fingers as he scaled up to the top.<br/><br/>The wind was cold cresting the iron tank. Flakes of snow brushed past, lifted by the wind. But as he stood he felt as well a strange warm undercurrent. Some heat the fought with the cold, and below laid out the heavy fog that the Chinese agent could see choking the river of concrete and steel. Drowning the rail yard in a thick soup of murky white milk.<br/><br/>Turning about as he crossed over to the next tracks he saw the city, rising out of the murky white mist of a warm early-spring's day. Jutting out like tomb stones in a snow-covered graveyard rose the city of Perm. With spears rising from the mist as church steeples to impale the over cast sky above, and domed mausoleums of government resting low in the milky sea between Asia and Europe. Here was the divide of worlds. Nestled on the southern tip of the Urals, sat in a throne between hills. Cut and divided by rivers that the agent could see as black snakes in the silvery cowl of fog. Far in the distance the Russian wilderness marched gently skyward on glacial marches, lined with trees to the higher foot hills of the Urals. Here was the furthest Jun could ever have dreamed of going. Here he teetered on the edge of a familiar continent, and on into a foreign one.<br/><br/>From below the voices of the Russian guards became louder. Jun didn't have time to admire the distant skyline of the next city of his operation. It wouldn't be long until they found his tracks, and with any luck they'd suspect only a wayward hitchhiker. Scrambling off the other side he hit the snowy gravel with a soft thud, and ran off between the tankers.<br/><br/><b>Beijing, China</b><br/><br/>The low hanging gray of clouds hung over the Chinese capital, bathing the city below in diamond white flakes of late-season snow. The light dusting dropped over the capital, shimmering from the roof-tops and laying a thin coat along the ancient stone streets. The late throws of winter keeping a constant sheet of chill on the city.<br/><br/>Bustling through the winding hutongs the gray coated citizenry bustled between their homes or their jobs as afternoon waned on over head. Along the main roads busying women skirted along with the day's groceries slung over their backs. Trucks laden with country-side supplies passed down the plowed and slush bricked streets, a remnant of the old days. Mixing in as well the civilian automobiles that converged on the affluent heart of Chinese politics, as cold as it was. And rising over the city from its heart the psuedo-modern high-rises of politics loomed over head as a reminder to those who held power. A stark contrast to the outer districts that still stood as they had in the old centuries. Even if carved by highway and widened paved avenues.<br/><br/>Riding low and dark through the traffic, flagged with red and guided by the flashing lights of the police security cut the carriage of Hou Sai Tang. A long staff car, painted black and its windows tinted so heavily the outside looked to be like dark ghosts pressed against a stoney and cloudy existence. The aging chairman sat in the back, leaned against the back of the pale-brown leather seats. A wooden cane held between his knees as he stared out the window of the passing city. His city. Though now it felt more distant. Since his announced retirement he had long left Beijing in favor of living outside of Tianjin, his city of birth.<br/><br/>The driver was a young party officer, dressed in the conservative styling of the National Police Service. His cap pulled low down over his eyes, shielding them from the dull glare off the snow and the gray clouds over head. Playing low over the radio so instrumental folk song waxed longingly. Not over-bearing, but soft enough to be in the background at best.<br/><br/>“Give me an hour with Xiogang Wen.” Hou said in a low voice.<br/><br/>“An hour to pass a bill, comrade?” the driver inquired, perhaps to prying. He must have felt the old gaze of Hou turn from the window to the back of his neck. “I'm sorry to inquire, comrade.” he said apologetically, voice almost tripping, “I was just told all this is what it'd be.”<br/><br/>“It's no harm.” Hou excused, raising his hand, “But I just need to talk to the good secretary. I have some words to exchange with him, as a member of Politburo.”<br/><br/>“Understood, comrade.” the driver nodded, “Then you're expected at the General Command?” he asked seeking confirmation, “That date is still on.”<br/><br/>“It is.” Hou nodded.<br/><br/>“Understood.” the driver nodded as he rolled to a gentle stop at an intersection. Here the old cobble roads met with the smooth asphalt pavement of modern road work, glazed with a packed and dusty layer of snow.<br/><br/>Steadily and confidently the car pulled out onto the avenue and merged in with the traffic, its escort close behind. Winding through the old echoes of Beijing it drew in closer to the modern heart. As it drew closer to Chang'an brick and cobble and old mortar gave way to the metal, glass, and cement of the modern Beijing. The dark shimmering towers of the new government looming more over head.<br/><br/>As the convoy connected to and pulled onto the long and wide central Chang'an avenue the eternal landmarks of Beijing came to view. The reddened walls of the Forbidden City, an illustrious palace of old, transformed into a museum for the Revolution, Tienanmen Square across from it, with its towering red and burnt-orange arches and long snow-covered greens and swept brick walks and plazas.<br/><br/>Hou could still smell the sulfur and the burning of the city after the Revolution as he looked out down the Corridor of a Thousand Steps. When at the end, when the besieged Emperor surrendered from the palace, from where he tried to reforge his old Emperor. Old Puyi. He and his meager and starved court were forced to march down the corridor, in view of the bedraggled revolutionaries. Those who had followed him to the heart of the Second Qing. Hou had wanted revenge. For Wen Chu.<br/><br/>Behind through the windshield the glass and brass pagoda of the Beijing Opera House stood faint against the snowy murk of late winter. Ahead down the avenue as they drove east, passing Tienanmen and the Forbidden City the dark towers of governance stood watchful. He could make out their forms quickly.<br/><br/>Stepped and layered like some merger of American deco and Chinese architecture was his office, or his former office. The nerve center of the ministries and the office of the Grand Secretary. It's dozen conference halls, it's libraries of files, and the armies of workers who simply organized the numbers and shuffled the papers and meetings. Perhaps he might blame them for his condition. If he had not chosen to distance himself so much, and to drown himself in work...<br/><br/>Beyond that the arced and molded pillared halls of the Congress stood brazen above the old architecture of the city. It was as much a stranger as the office of the Grand Secretary. Some misplaced model of western architecture in a city of Eastern descent. It wrapped around like a building reaching to bring in its citizens for a hug, pillared and wrought of stone like the halls of Germany. Topped with a concrete dome, blazoned with dragons from whose mouth flew red banners. It wasn't as imposing as the Grand Secretary's office in height, but in the area it took it bested the black and red and orange tower of Hou's former office.<br/><br/>The escort continued passed the office. Its open snowy square dimly lit by the incandescent lights that were never turned off. Low black pillars, topped with a glass dome about waist high. Their light was weak in the day, but by night they kept the plaza out front in a constant warm glow hiding no one.<br/><br/>The motorcade kept moving on. Weaving through the traffic that parted to let them by. It was sleepy. Chang'an always was at this time. Winter was not very inviting to bicycles.<br/><br/>Passing on the right the long sweeping arms of the Congressional Hall drew in from behind the tenants and small stores and restaurants of Chang'an. Reaching out to encircle a plaza where stood a statue to soldiers, the wide columned halls reached out to Beijing. An impressive awning of graying green tile covered in snow swept out and then up from the entrance way. An army of flags hung from posts along the walls and the side, bathing the gray of its shell in bright fiery red.<br/><br/>The motorcade merged gentle towards it. Hou felt the soft bump as they left the main road and onto the private drive that wound around the back of the building. Slowly dropping gently into the cold concrete and blackened brick. The Chairman was arriving.<br/><br/>____<br/><br/>“I suppose you're not too interested in ceremony.” Xiogang Wen smiled as Hou entered his office. It was large and spacious. Comfortably warm. A large grandfather clock in the far corner ticked softly alongside large glass windows looking down on the Congressional Plaza below. Dark red shades hung pulled to the side open to the gray winter light.<br/><br/>“If we do need to do a ceremonial signing then I'd like it to be quick.” Hou coughed as he hobbled across the thick carpet of Wen's office. Wen himself was an old man, like much of the founding government now. Though he had not yet began to gray, his hair was thin and spindly and lay combed weakly over a balding cranium. The distinctness of his chin had softened as his neck sagged.<br/><br/>“Just as well.” Wen bowed, walking around the edge of his mahogany desk. It was sparse and spartan, perhaps one of the few things like that in his office. But for what it made up for in rich carving it did for the elaborate dark satin stain. Seating himself at the black leather chair behind the table he rifled through the drawers, pulling out a red-covered book, about half a pinky thick.<br/><br/>“Well, the job is finished.” the congressional secretary laughed. It wasn't particularly proud, or happy. But it was tired and dreary, “All we need is your signature and we can establish the autonomous districts.”<br/><br/>“As I've been waiting for.” Hou mumbled, strolling over to a chair set up opposite of Wen. He groaned as he sat, pulling a pen from the desk. There was a lot on it, photos of family, calenders and planners.<br/><br/>“And I got one other thing to talk to you about too.” Hou said in a low voice as he flipped over the new law, scanning the title page and skimming through the first few pages, “I didn't come all this way to sign something into law. I could have ordered that delivered straight to my residence.”<br/><br/>“I figured there was something more.” Xiogang nodded. His beady wrinkled eyes dropped to the pages as his superior went through, skimming the tightly packed text and finding the lines to sign.<br/><br/>“There is, something of a promise I made. I suppose you could say that.”<br/><br/>“To who?” Wen asked cynically and dispondent.<br/><br/>“Zhang Auyi.” Hou replied, looking up from the bill, “But I also suppose it's not so much a promise, thinking on it. I told him I'd consider it. And when in Beijing on business not restricted to only signing legislation then what better time than now?<br/><br/>“What do you think of Auyi, comrade?”<br/><br/>“I hold no oppinion.” said Xiogang, “Are you saying I should?”<br/><br/>“You could, but I can't hold sway either way. But he spoke with me, and I can't help but feel that he'd be a better candidate. He has the spirit.”<br/><br/>“We did as much as Politburo is allowed to do, which is to let him run.” Wen grumbled. He was tense as he sat back in his chair, “For now we should really just let the entire thing run out on its own.”<br/><br/>“I'm aware.” Hou nodded, finding the final line on the bill and shutting it closed. Sliding it across the desk he added, “But perhaps you might be able to do something as the head of the Congress.<br/><br/>“I'm not asking you to speak. Just requesting to maybe move some thing around. Get him some allies, maybe. In the papers he announced his support for this legislation, if you needed a catalyst.”<br/><br/>“And the autonomy law itself was fairly contentious even among some of its supporters.” Wen coughed, “It had just enough votes to pass.”<br/><br/>“I know, I still keep up with the Beijing news.”<br/><br/>“But, I'll see what appointments I can encourage.” Xiogang nodded, “But no promises. To him.”<br/><br/>Hou smiled. A short and tempered grin, “Thank you.” he said."
22044,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-09-23 21:16:00,Vilageidiotx,"<b>Port Said, Suez Canal</b><br/><br/>The searing hiss of a rocket passed over her head. Everything was burning. The smell of scorched gasoline and charred flesh hung in her nostrils. The gravity of what it was she had just witnessed sunk in. The first shots of the war. There had been years of posturing and near misses. Now it was here. Her training kicked in. It was time to survive.<br/><br/>Men were falling back. They were covered in soot and blood, the whites of their eyes pristine and wide beneath masks of filth. There was shouting in the chaos, and the wails of the wounded. The Spanish rounds struck the ground like fists, each shot sounding heavier than the last. She was certain that they were getting closer, and that any moment a chance shot would rip through her and kill her. But she sat still. If she ran, they would get her, and this ditch felt safer than any amount of fleeing could.<br/><br/>""We can't fucking fight them with cars."" she muttered to herself. She wondered where her partner had went. Elias had been next to her one moment, and gone the next. ""We can't fight with..."" someone nearby fired a rifle, an its report stung her ears. ""Trucks!"" That was a stupid plan. Now they were stuck. It occurred to her that this could have been a suicide mission all along. The orders they had been given about how to proceed after this fight could have been nothing more than a comforting ruse to keep them from knowing that they were meant to die here. She heard a pained shriek above the sound of the battle, so sharp that a chill went through her body. They were going to die here.<br/><br/><i>Thwump</i>. She heard the soft sound of mortars<i>Thwump.</i>She looked to see the mortar team taking their positions, finding any piece of protected flat ground that they could. Their captain, as skeletal and sickly as he looked, was barking orders like a mad dog, though she could not hear what it was that he was saying. She felt the sudden peculiarity of her status. This captain was not Walinzi, not like her, but she felt as if he belonged to some higher class of warrior. It felt strange to think that she was somehow more well trained. She had dined with the Emperor. She had killed a Shah. But this mortar team and their captain, this battlefield was their world, and they knew it better than she did.<br/><br/>""You"" he pointed at her with a knuckly finger. ""Get the fuck out! Get back!"" She didn't argue. She waited for the mortars to fire, and then she ran.<br/><br/>Once out of her ditch, she was much more aware of all the gunfire and where it came from. When the Spanish opened fire with their deck guns, she felt their report reverberate in her chest. Any moment, a stray shot could kill her. She counted to herself as she ran in an effort to maintain her focus, and she was surprised to find it had only taken her twenty two seconds to make it to the next set of buildings. It had felt like ten minutes.<br/><br/>""I'm going to die here."" she heard a man rambling. She looked down and saw him. His shoulder had been liquified, only strands of red and pink holding his arm to his body. Blood soaked his shirt, and his skin, and it coagulated in his hair. She realized that he was telling the truth. ""What a waste.""<br/><br/>""You..."" she tried to think of something to say, but this was new to her. ""Your country will remember your sacrifice.""<br/><br/>He took a long, rattling breath. ""Fuck... that."" he struggled. He tried to say something else, but the words wouldn't come out. Leyla left him there.<br/><br/>From inside the city, something big exploded. At first, she thought it was the bombs. She looked toward the canal and realized that all of the buildings near it were still intact. Was that Spanish ordinance? It happened again. It was coming from the canal. She held her breath.<br/><br/>A third boom. This one came with a cheer. An<i>Ethiopian</i>cheer. She understood. The Aksum had entered the battle. She wondered if its guns could even reach the Spanish ships. Besides that, it was hardly armed. It had traveled with very little ammunition so that it could carry the explosives that lined the inside of its hull. How many times would it fire? She heard a second salvo.<br/><br/>She heard African mortars and the Aksum. She could hardly hear the Spanish response. For a moment, she thought that maybe they had a chance. Maybe. If they turned the Spanish back here, what a story that would be. A golden page for the history books. Her hope was brief, and it was shattered when Spanish firepower sent hunks of concrete tearing from a building nearby. She ducked her head and prayed.<br/><br/>The mutter of a truck engine made her look up. More men on their way to the fight. Did they think they could repel battleships with automobiles? A turret gunner stood in the back, swaying with the motion of the truck. His hands were wrapped tight around the handles of a long barreled fifty cal. He was stoic. Tense. How many shots would he get out before he died? Would he kill before he was killed?<br/><br/>Leyla took a deep breath, harshened by the petroleum and gunpowder fog. She ran further into the war-marked city. There was, in ditches and foxholes, the mingling bodies of Ethiopians and Egyptians. In places, the ground was slicked with blood. She could smell it, like rot and metal. She needed to link up with Elias, and with the rest of the Walinzi. They would be near the canal. She turned toward it, and toward the sound ofthe Aksum opening her guns.<br/><br/>The Africans were retreating. The sound of small arms fire was petering out. They were rushing the wounded back. Men with less severe injuries limped on their own, or were supported by others. Was this a rout? The subtleties of success and failure blurred in battle. She saw men taking up new positions, but maybe that happened in retreats too? She turned a corner, cautious, expecting to find Spanish soldiers on the ground around the corner. Instead, a hollow thwump. Mortars. Their captain was pointing at a gap in the cityscape, where the hazy steel hulk of a Spanish ship was visible on the murky green sea. She saw a flash of fire come from its deck, followed by the delayed sound of exploding munition in the city. It was like watching lightning and waiting for the thunder.<br/><br/>""Agent Masri"" she heard her name shouted. It was faint, but familiarity cut through the gunfire. She turned and seen Elias beckoning for her. He was alive. Thank god for that. Her mind snapped back toward their mission. She sprinted across the road.<br/><br/>""We are ready here."" he said, glancing to a six story tenement on the cusp of the canal. ""We need to move some of these teams. Hard to tell what will happen here. You know how it works. We want safety on the battlefield.""<br/><br/>She nodded. ""What do you want me to do?"" she asked.<br/><br/>""Keep them from driving through here."" he responded, pointing south down the road. ""Don't let them argue. You're Walinzi, remind them."" He clasped her on the shoulder. ""Lets just get this done so we can move on to the next.""<br/><br/>She nodded. Focus burned through the chaos. She jogged across the plaza, cutting a line through the smouldering asphalt and stone tiles. The battle was far away, the pounding gunfire and sharp rifle reports on the other side of an invisible wall in her mind. She focused on an armored car. The gunner didn't seem to notice her. He was staring into the distance, his eyes obscured by sunglasses. She thought she saw a cigarette hanging from his mouth, but when she came closer she noticed that it was a stick that he had pulled from a tree. She held her hand out, palm forward and facing the truck. It stopped. The driver clamored out.<br/><br/>""We need to move here, woman."" he grouched. ""We're going to extract the Aksum's crew.""<br/><br/>""This plaza is blocked. She responded calmly. ""Walinzi business. You will have to find another route.""<br/><br/>""Walinzi..."" he muttered. She could see him thinking. She could feel the tension.<br/><br/>He nodded and climbed in the car. As they began to pull away, the gunner looked down at her. He pulled the stick from his mouth and saluted her with it.<br/><br/>""Come now."" she heard Elias' voice behind her. ""We need to take cover. It's going to happen at any moment now.""<br/><br/>The found a spot to hide behind a stone-brick dividing wall. Elias pulled a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to her. She shook her head. He lit it and tucked it into his lips.<br/><br/>""Is your gun loaded?"" he asked. She unholstered it and replaced the clip. A Spanish shell whistled through the air before it struck something that Leyla could not see. She watched Elias. He was focused on tenement. His cigarette flickered. Leyla marked the passing of time with each flicker. One. Two. Three. Four.<br/><br/>There was an sudden clap. Several explosions, adding together to create a larger explosion. It felt like the air was being sucked out of her lungs. Dust cascaded from the bottom floors. Small jets of debris shot from the windows. The bottom stories gave in. She could hear the snapping of steel and cracking of cement as it began to fall. Another set of explosions started, small and scattered like the popping on loose-firing ammunition. It was falling to its side. It was falling into the canal.<br/><br/>Elias was grinning. ""And...""<br/><br/>Another implosion sounded off. That one surprised her. She knew it had been the plan all along, but the Spanish were moving quicker than she had expected them to. She had thought that they had failed to get a team to the other side. They watched as the second building tumbled into the river. Rubble struck the water with heavy splashes.<br/><br/>""And now we wait for the next set."" Elias said.<br/><br/><b>Addis Ababa, Ethiopia</b><br/><br/>Through his robes, Yaqob gently rubbed the webbing scar on his chest. It was only a dull ache, but it reminded him of worse pains he had felt. He could see the city outside the painted arch of the turret window. It was calm, palm fronds flitting in the breeze above the thin-spread capital. He rarely came here, to this corner of the palace. He was drawn here now because it faced the northeast, toward the coast of Eritrea where the Spaniards would launch their attack. How long would it be? Months? Weeks? They had never been tested like this before, not here. Not, at least, since Adwa. That had happened in a different century. In many ways, a different Ethiopia. How would it play out this time? Yaqob had little hope that it would end well this time.<br/><br/>The turret-room was small. Dark wood paneling covered the walls, and a darker wood covered the floors. A mahogany end-table stood next to a faded leopard print canvas chair, completing the room's sparse furnishing. Above that hung a traditional painting of a saint done colorfully on animal hide. And then there was Hassan. He stood motionless in the corner, Yaqob's patient General and loyal friend.<br/><br/>""Do you think we can keep them in the Red Sea?"" Yaqob asked. He knew the answer, but he hoped for the military brilliance his General had shown in Katanga with the stroke of a hand.<br/><br/>""No."" Hassan answered bluntly. There was a caution in his voice, Yaqob noted. Not the caution of a supplicant who didn't know how to talk to an Emperor. No. This was the sound of a man who knew how to choose his words, and knew that obvious confidence often sounded like disrespect. Whether he wanted to be or not, Hassan was a politician. He continued. ""I propose to move our navy into the Mandeb Straight. We might catch them being lazy, and they might not move any further than that. That is the only naval strategy we have right now. They know they can do whatever they want. If they decide that taking control of the southern coast simply isn't worth the expense of pushing through the Mandeb, we might be able to keep some ports open. That is my advise, my Emperor.""<br/><br/>""They will push through."" Yaqob said. ""They fear China. Open ports on the eastern coast would threaten them."" A part of Yaqob doubted this. African foreign policy had constructed on top of an assurance that China would intervene. But what if it didn't? African politics had adopted the old European desperation for alliance. But what of China? Yaqob had lived there. They had let him exist in exile there during the war that overthrew his brother, but they had not intervened any more directly than that. And Spain? The thought occurred that Sotelo<i>wanted</i>to face China. It would be an enormous gamble for them, but the reward was extreme power.""<br/><br/>Hassan was silent for a moment. ""That is most likely true."" he said, accepting the thought that Yaqob inwardly questioned. ""We should move forward under the assumption that we will not have access to the sea.""<br/><br/>Yaqob felt his chest throb again. It was an assumption they should make. He knew this. Why did he never hear hope? ""We should discuss evacuations then.""<br/><br/>""I'm not leaving."" Hassan said. ""With respect, the battlefield is where I belong. We can't take them down on the sea, but I know I can destroy them on the land. Africa is vast. This land is rough. And... our people do not want them here.""<br/><br/>That much was true. His people had little faith in their government, but they had no faith in Europe. Africa still remembered her colonial past, and Ethiopian pride was centered on how they had avoided European hegemony. That same pride had destroyed Sahle. If the Spanish were not cautious, it would destroy them.<br/><br/>""Azima wants the royal family to evacuate."" Yaqob said. She was worried about Tewodros most of all, but she wanted them all to go. Yaqob was torn. Would he go back to China defeated? He was no soldier, of course. There was no use for him here. But leaving felt wrong. It felt like abandonment. Taytu had offer to stay behind, to take charge of the guerrilla government while Yaqob rallied for communist support. There was some sense there. Yaqob was known in China, and a living Emperor could be a potent symbol. He knew that she had other intentions, however. She wanted to spite Hassan. Would she work with him? They were repelled by each other. Perhaps he could find somebody else to rule in his stead. Even Hassan himself...<br/><br/>""We should make preparations then."" Hassan said. ""Before we get news from the Suez. A flight would be best, through Persia to Beijing.""<br/><br/>""If I go, could you govern?"" Yaqob asked. He turned around to see his General. Hassan looked like he was choking back the honor. It seemed strange, he had never been the humble sort, but Yaqob could tell he was struggling with the thought. ""I could, your Imperial Majesty."" he said. ""But I can't recommend you to leave.""<br/><br/>Had he wanted to flee so much that he had been blind to what it meant? His scar ached. ""I think I would be more useful in China than I would be on the battlefield."" he explained.<br/><br/>""Yes."" Hassan replied. ""I agree. You aren't a soldier, but you are a symbol.""<br/><br/>Yaqob nodded. He understood this. He had thought about it. What did it look like when the Emperor ran?<br/><br/>""I will think about it."" the Emperor responded.<br/><br/>Hassan nodded and left Yaqob to his thoughts.<br/><br/>This thing felt like a march into fate. He did not see any options. This would take place, and he would be caught in the middle of it. He thought back to his time in China, and to his military training there. He knew then that he was not made for war. The immediacy, the snap decisions, they did not come to him. He was a thinker, not a soldier. What use would he be? A symbol. That was it. It was imperative for him to stay for no other reason but that they needed his presence. Not for his skill, but just so nobody accused him of running. He shook his head and left the room.<br/><br/>The halls of the palace were decorated with the artifacts and baubles that he loved to collect. They were items of art, and of history. They were swords and shields, statues and idols, paintings and icons. Most were from Africa or China. The rest were from across the world, spanning history as well as geography. To be surrounded by humanity's history was to be submersed in the past itself. When he saw a painting, he wondered about the world that had raised its artist. What had life been like for the man who crafted the early Aksumite Amphora that stood guard in the hall near the door to the turret room? He strolled, moving leisurely through the hall and brushing the artifacts with his hands. He felt the rough chainmail of an old Byzantine hauberk, and the smooth porcelain of Chinese china. How long would this last? Once the Spanish landed, it was inevitable that they would march south and take the capital. They were going to take everything from him. Most likely, his life as well. His collection, and his life.<br/><br/>Despair was the ache in his chest. It felt heavy there. The decor of these halls only reminded him of the flow of history. The same flow he was caught in. He felt like laying down. He passed the war masks, and the mummified cat that stood guard near the phone. When he reached the next room, he was surprised to find he had company.<br/><br/>The priest was an older man, dressed in glittering red cloth over simple white, and a cloth wrap on top of his head. His beard was long and grey, and he had a face that was soft and gentle. One of Yaqob's guards stood watch in the room, and he did not look bothered by the guest. Yaqob wondered. Was he scheduled to meet this man?<br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty."" he bowed, ""I am sorry to come unannounced."" He paused, and there was realization in his eyes. ""They told me they were going to fetch you.""<br/><br/>Yaqob smiled. ""I am here."" he said. ""Sit down.""<br/><br/>The old man bowed and found his seat.<br/><br/>""May I ask who it is that you are?"" Yaqob inquired, sitting across the table from his guest.<br/><br/>""Zerihun Biruk"" he answered politely. Yaqob's eyes wandered to the thick silver cross that hung across his chest. It was geometric - a neat fractal of diamond-shapes branching from themselves. And Ethiopian cross. ""I have traveled from Aksum to speak to you.""<br/><br/>The formality of the old priest set Yaqob's mind along the ancient processes of conversation. Niceties ruled here, turning the choice of words and actions into a game of chess. Each action had set rules, and each sentence carried centuries of tradition. It cleared his mind, and set it to the task at hand. His next move became clear.<br/><br/>""Would you like coffee?""<br/><br/>The old man nodded. Yaqob snapped his fingers and listened as the guard left the room. This was a delicate moment. If this man was an assassins, this was his chance. Yaqob watched him carefully, looking for any twitch that told of an attack. The old man sat still, wrapped in his own robes. No motion.<br/><br/>""How is it in the north?"" Yaqob asked.<br/><br/>Zerihun's smile went flat. There was a flicker of sadness in his expression. ""Our people worry, oh my Emperor. I do not leave my place in this world often, but I have seen it. Old men bury their wealth and flee to the south with their wives and daughters. Young men buy guns and machetes and boast about how many Europeans they will slay.""<br/><br/>The guard returned to his post. That was a relief. The time had past, and this priest was no assassin.<br/><br/>""What do you come south for, my friend?"" Yaqob asked.<br/><br/>""I will tell you."" the priest answered. ""After we have coffee.""<br/><br/>Yaqob nodded. ""How have you found the capital?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""This is a big place."" The priest boasted. ""I have not left the country, but could a bigger city be dreamed of? When I was growing up, my people lived in a village. I think one of your apartment housings could have held ten tribes the size of mine."" he smiled, revealing crooked white teeth.<br/><br/>""We have grown."" Yaqob said politely. Addis Ababa was not a large city by the standards he had seen while traveling the world. It sprawled further than the old towns of Europe, but it was a shadow of the immensity that was Beijing. To a priest from the highlands, however... it was easy for Yaqob to forget how simple his people could be, and how truly mammoth his African Empire looked from their perspective.<br/><br/>A cook wheeled in a cart dressed with everything that would be needed for the coffee ceremony. There were porcelain cups painted with the lion of Judah, and a clay coffee pot shaped like an amphorae. A bowl of green coffee beans sat on the edge of the cart, and on the other end was a kerosene-powered stove. Wordless, the cook began to roast the beans in a steel pan.<br/><br/>""I had my first coffee with my grandmother."" the priest said. ""In nineteen twenty nine."" he began to laugh. ""That sounds so long ago! It really isn't, but it sounds like a lot of time!""<br/><br/>Yaqob grinned. The priest's laugh was warm and alive. His joy was contagious. For a moment, Yaqob forgot that there was a war.<br/><br/>The smell of the roasting coffee beans began to fill the room. It was strong and thick, more like a rich meal than a drink. There was so much good about this moment that Yaqob wondered what could be solved by bringing his enemies, and his friends, to experience the coffee ceremony with this priest. Was Sotelo as evil as they said, that he would deny a moment like this one and continue with his war?<br/><br/>Such naive thoughts. This was too horrible of a world for that sort of bucolic simplicity. He felt his old wound tinge numb, but he ignored it.<br/><br/>The cook grabbed the pan full of sizzling coffee beans from the stove and held it in front of them. The priest inhaled deeply and smiled. ""Those are good beans that you have, my Emperor."" he said. ""Very excellent.""<br/><br/>Yaqob followed, taking a deep whiff. It was a heavy smell - earthy. It smelled like morning in a village, or breakfast with his father in Dessie, looking out toward the brown-stone rises of the mountains and the rich blue sky above them. He nodded. ""That is very good."" he agreed. ""Very good.""<br/><br/>""I remember when you were born."" the priest said. ""I was not a young man. No. I was younger, but I was not a young man. I was an exorcist, and I lived in Adwa. There were a lot of foul things... demons created by the battle there, and buda. That was a strange time. Some of my teachers thought that the Germans were buda, and they would say 'See how the Germans make factories with the men who work with metal? We know the metal workers are buda. Who else would work with them like the Germans do?' ""<br/><br/>The smell of coffee mixed with the thick floral tones of incense as the cook began to light sticks of it. The priest began to laugh his cheerful laugh. ""I don't know about any of that, now. But there were evil things in the north back then. I think we fought them off, but now they are coming back again.""<br/><br/>The cook served the coffee. Yaqob watched as the priest took a sip and closed his eyes. ""This is very good. Very good."" He gestured his approval.<br/><br/>""They are coming back."" Yaqob felt the hot drink with his lip and supped carefully. ""The Spanish, you mean.""<br/><br/>The priest nodded. ""That is what I have came down here to say. I am not an exorcist anymore. Oh no. I am the guardian of the true<i>tabot</i>, the holy thing that my life is devoted to.""<br/><br/>Yaqob paused. ""You are the guardian of the Ark of the Covenant?"" he asked. ""I thought you were committed never to leave its temple?""<br/><br/>""This is true. But this is a special circumstance."" the priest said. The sun had was now shining through the window and casting yellow light across the table. In it, Yaqob could see incense smoke. ""Aksum will fall to the Spanish. We cannot lose the Ark.""<br/><br/>""We will protect our relics."" Yaqob assured. ""If you want, we could have it flown to China.""<br/><br/>""No."" The priest interrupted. His voice was panicked and abrupt. Yaqob stopped. What was happening here.<br/><br/>""The true tabot, it has a strength we cannot let the evil ones have. I am told that Emperor Menelik had plans to hide it if the Italians had succeeded. There are safe places here, but they are in<i>this</i>country.""<br/><br/>""The evil ones."" Yaqob repeated. ""China has ever been our friend and ally.""<br/><br/>""They are foreign ones."" the priest argued. He was afraid now - Yaqob could see how worried he looked at the idea that China might hide the ark. ""They do not know it. If you do not know it, you do not know the danger. If there is evil in China, they could not see it because they do not believe.""<br/><br/>""I don't understand...""<br/><br/>""We wish for your cooperation. If you do not understand, we can fight the danger, but we need your help. There is more to the tabot. To the law. Ahh. Yes. It has qualities you cannot understand unless you have known it. I have known it and I love it.""<br/><br/>""We will help."" Yaqob said cautiously. ""As much as we can. My soldiers will be needed for soldiering. For the war. I cannot promise anything exact, only that we will try.""<br/><br/>""Do more than try."" the priest replied. ""Succeed or we will all suffer."

Like the metaphorical and cliched elephant in the room. Even the buzz of the lighting seemed to compliment the expectant worry as it droned overhead. The commanders had assembled, taking their seats at the long table in the middle of the room. There were no windows, the only light from sunken lighting in the ceiling. On the desk a darkened projector sat facing a blank screen.<br/><br/>Sitting at their seats they sat, tapping their fingers on the wooden table as they waited. Their caps pulled over their heads. The medals and symbols of their rank glistened in the yellow-gold lighting. This wasn't just waiting for them. This was meditation. Something was happening, and to be called by the Chairman. Only Lou Shai Dek seemed to be in any sort of peace, his old wrinkled fingers gently stroking along the grains of the wooden table as he leaned back on his seat, scowling emptily at the blank projector screen.<br/><br/>With a groan the briefing room's entrance opened. No one needed to turn to see who it was as they heard the familiar tap of a wooden cane on the laminate floors. With a sudden screech of chairs against the cold-pressed, shining linoleum they stood at attention, turning only out of respect as in followed Hou Sai Tang.<br/><br/>In previous days, he would have come in with upright confidence. His back straight as a razor's edge. But since the stroke, and now he announced retirement he was slower. Almost less confidence. And his expression had grown darker. His sharp dagger beard had grown longer and whiter in the past few months. He was aging, and aging fast.<br/><br/>“Comrades.” he said softly, walking to the table. He picked up his back with what strength he had as he hovered around the edge.<br/><br/>“Comrade Hou.” the commanders bowed, greeting the chairman with polite political smiles. Almost like vipers, the chairman thought.<br/><br/>With a soft shuffle they pulled their chairs back to the table, sitting back down as Hou ambled to the head of the table. “Do we know why we're here?” the chairman asked, his voice gravely.<br/><br/>“It's been all over the NPN even, I don't think anyone here isn't aware.” Han Shen said. He was a man of short stature, but a wide build; even for a Chinese man. It was not to say he was fat. Where his face was pinched in, his brow was not. And his shoulders were large and long. The blue coat of his rank hid most of his features, and the naval decorations only helped to distract it. As well as the honorary medals he wore for her service, and the liberation of Dalian. “The Spanish Invasion of Ethiopia, or supposed.”<br/><br/>“It's been made official out of Spain, comrade.” a tired deeply broken voice said. Almost like wind passing through a pipe of broken glass. Yan Sing. The pale ghost of a man leaned over the table draped in black. His hair was thin and silvery. His eyes were narrow and sharp. He frowned as he spoke, “Sotelo made a public appearance the other day effectively declaring war on Ethiopia, and indirectly us. We've known for a long time he wants to purge Communism from the world, I think we all know that really. But the important thing is that he believes he had acquired the strength to act.<br/><br/>“The exchange in the Red Sea wasn't just a minor skirmish, brothers. It's the first stage to a full armed conflict at this point.”<br/><br/>“You can be so sure?” Shen said, shocked.<br/><br/>“Satellite interception of the broadcasts and work directly from Ethiopia can not lie. They are at war.”<br/><br/>“Oh, I misunderstood the situation then.” Shen apologized.<br/><br/>“There's no excuse for prolonged fishing ventures.” Sing smiled wryly, reaching into his black overcoat and pulling out a bland red and white pack of cigarettes, “We all should no better.”<br/><br/>“Well I hope you caught some big fish, admiral.” Shai Dek brooded.<br/><br/>“Fishing is besides the point.” Hou said angrily, his voice risen to the precipice of a shout. “So what are we going to do about this?”<br/><br/>“Unfortunately apart from doing little, we could simply wait.” Shai Dek said, “We all know wars with Spain have been short. As was the affair in Finland. They'll get tangled up in the Congo or get sand in their shoes getting across the Sahara and won't make this an extended campaign. They'll seek an exit strategy before they risk loosing more men to Malaria than to bullets.<br/><br/>“Think about it as a grander campaign in Vietnam. Had the French actually cared, how many would be butchered by the elements alone? It's no doubt what they saw. And probably a factor in them simply giving up. But I can't speak for France.”<br/><br/>“None of us may.” laughed another officer, in a gray coat. Han Jang. Tall and statue like. His daze was distant, and some would say ever upwards. He had facilitated the rise of a space program, for however slow it was. But it was his and he had all right to be proud in part.<br/><br/>He leaned back, brushing his fingers through his short salt and pepper hair. “But I do agree it may be too earlier to partake in this campaign. If we're going to extend Chinese defensive interests beyond the Free Asia protocol it should be if we know the situation is dire. We don't even know if Spain will intend to mobilize their VX stockpiles on Ethiopia.”<br/><br/>“If they do it'll be a disaster.” Sing added with a biting tongue. There was no mercy on his voice. It was grim and precise.<br/><br/>“I agree.” Jang nodded, “At this point we could at the least act as a measure to observe and seek out their stockpiles. Our High Altitude Wing hasn't been tested in a full war-time scenario. We had successful flights over Russia on air recon of the countryside during the peace interlude. But we haven't flown any over Spanish territory. We could use this as a chance to gauge our aircraft's capabilities in interceptor avoidance, if not being blind to radar as a whole for flying too high to be distinguishable by noise. We may also gauge Spanish radar if they can spot it and attempt to intervene on our pilots.”<br/><br/>“Wouldn't that be risky though?” Hou asked with much sprinkled caution.<br/><br/>“All war comes with risk.” Shai Dek said, “We all here understand that. We've paid out our share in risk across Asia. We may have planned well enough to alleviate significant loss.”<br/><br/>“I understand...” said Hou.<br/><br/>“So we fly over Spain. What are we looking for?” the commander of national security asked. Handoi Hu. A large man. More akin to a cow than a commander. And a balding one at that.<br/><br/>“I'd hope to find perhaps mass mobilization over the desert.” chimed Jang, “Anything. Motorized convos heading to Ethiopia, suspicious air traffic. Somewhere they have to have a stockpile of chemical weapons and if there's intention to use them then it had to be somewhere. Depending on success, I'd suggest we run an unrestrained number of sweeps over Spain from the Pyrenees to the Ivory Coast.”<br/><br/>“That close, we're better off bombing the bastards!” Hu laughed, his large ballooning chin shaking like jello.<br/><br/>“We may have the capabilities given the design of the High Altitude Wing but we don't want to play that card too early.” Sing countered, “As tempting as it would be to set Madrid aflame while Sotelo takes a shit we may not do much harm in the long run. We may just end up scaring the Spanish people more into demanding more aggressive action.<br/><br/>“No, if we do have to bomb that home we'll do it en'masse if this turns into a prolonged war for once. Right now we'll spur the people to demand more aggressive movements and before we know it we're meeting the Spanish on the Indonesian Islands just to cut them off from China, or they're on Taiwan. If we do it late enough, grind them to bits in Africa and then bomb them: we frighten the Spanish people to submit. We make them think we don't have the capability. And when we can hit home, they demand they surrender or they die.<br/><br/>“Turn Spain black.”<br/><br/>“If we do that we're liable to repair.” Hu said, shocked, “That's scary expensive. More than the war.”<br/><br/>“Not unless we willingly ignore that part of our military law.”<br/><br/>“Agreed.” Shai Dek nodded.<br/><br/>“That'll be up to my predecessor.” Hou cut in, “I don't want to be involved in this order or the bastardization of the work I wrote. If we're going to win, I do want us to do so better than our enemy. This is why we exist.”<br/><br/>Sing grumbled under his breath. Thinking about Russia. But in the end the Chairman was right, acting on that initiative that had given them Asia was up to who takes over next. So long as he wasn't a disastrous person, storming into danger.<br/><br/>“What else can we commit at this time?” Hou groaned, “Surely more than photographs.”<br/><br/>“We have the small training contingent on Pemba.” Lou Shai Dek said, “If need be we can get them to reposition to Addis and help them to dig in, or whatever defensible position the Ethiopians need Cao at. That much I can promise immediately.<br/><br/>“But with us in Russia it'll be trickier to allocate more foot soldiers. We can meet with the Turkistanians to make a due date for withdraw from Turkistan with the collapse of the Ottomans no longer facilitating their need. But that will open a front for unchecked Russian movement in the north. So we'll need to get Turkistan formally involved in some way or set a goal to move out when our men control Russia up to their western edge. We could then deploy or redeploy fifty-thousand or more then to Africa.”<br/><br/>“I could have the navy ready to move to transport these relief units.” Jang said with a tired voice, “Do we have a commander for this endeavor?”<br/><br/>“No, but I'll look for a candidate.”<br/><br/>“Excellent.” the admiral said, “I doubt we can move an actual battle group to Africa to relieve the situation in the Red Sea. By the time we arrive I no doubt the Spanish will have total control of the region. If we do dispatch ships it'll be to supplement the Ethiopians elsewhere on their Eastern Coast.<br/><br/>“I'd recommend waiting for a later time to deploy a larger fleet to break any possible Spanish control of the coast later. That way we move not only boats but equipment as well to insure a stronger hold on a liberated coast. And by the time we arrive then we can estimate the Spanish may be thinned out to control the coast. We can piece the Spanish navy apart off the African coast in the way and break the war effort.”<br/><br/>“What about the White Sea?” asked Hou.<br/><br/>“I suppose we could give Shao Shen new orders.” Jang shrugged, “What will help?”<br/><br/>“To break the European economy.” Shai Dek said with no remorse, “Disturb the shipping lanes, especially Spanish flagged ships.”<br/><br/>“Well, I do supposed the United Kingdom can't get involved, not after what they've been through.” Jang shrugged, “And Germany is the only other submarine power we're aware of. France has never been a naval power and we can count the Dutch and Belgians out as being a able threat. Not for the Bohai.<br/><br/>“But we're going to need to organize to refuel them that far out for such a mission. Before I can give the order, if we're going to do it, I need to know the logistical support for this. A submarine isn't a sail ship, it doesn't have have indefinite fuel. And it can't resupply itself alone on raiding – if that's what you're proposing comrade Shai Dek.”<br/><br/>“It is.” the commander nodded.<br/><br/>“Well... I see...” Jang said, chewing his cheek. His face grew pale.<br/><br/>“It sounds like we'll need to study this proposal some more.” Hou nodded, “We'll need to reconvene then?”<br/><br/>“Indeed.” the commanders nodded.<br/><br/>“If we're going to be involved with any greater depth we're going to need to convene Congress.” Hou said, “So we're going to need a greater war plan to present to committee. Something to pass down through succession and accommodates for Russia.”<br/><br/>“Understood, comrade.” Lou Shai Dek nodded.<br/><br/>“I'll have my men draw up a full brief on the resources and time needed.” Jang mumbled, “Suggest authorized piracy or raiding of targeted ships. Measure the... legality I guess and how to cover for that.”<br/><br/>“I'll commit resources from my department.” Sing said, waving a lit cigarette.<br/><br/>“Excellent, thank you.” Jang bowed.<br/><br/>“If it will help, I'll issue immediate orders to the Deep Gobi facility. Redeploy the High Altitude Wing to Tibet. When we do we launch?”<br/><br/>“I want to get in touch with the Ethiopian ambassador first thing, as soon as possible.” Hou said, “Either before I leave Beijing or tomorrow. They deserve to know a few things.<br/><br/>“I'll tell them we'll commit intelligence on Spanish ability, and some military aid given Pemba. But the rest is to be decided.”<br/><br/>“Anything more and we'll need Congressional approval.” smirked Sing, “I agree to this. It's best to not leave this waiting. We move now.”"
22046,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-09-28 01:44:00,Maxxorlord,"<b>///Project: STEEL COBRAS///<br/><br/>MISSION DESIGNATION: GEARM174-62<br/><br/>STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT – PHASE III; FIRST FIELD TEST - AUSTRALIAN WILDERNESS</b><br/><br/>The rebel camp wasn’t much to behold. Tents were set up back to back in rows, with a road wide enough for two tanks side by side to drive down. Everything seemed as if it had been laid out perfectly, more than likely using a laser measuring system to a-line the tents. The rebel commander was reported to have extreme OCD, and it definitely showed. The camp was exactly the same way it had been for the past two months the Australian Army has been scouting it out: The partisans even smoke in the same area at the same time of day. The tents that made up the entirety of the base were all identical: khaki-colored, square things that stood taller than a full grown man with a midget on his shoulders. It was impossible to tell which tents were used for which supplies, and which held which soldiers without a man on the inside. Fortunately for the Australians, they did have such a man. Every three tents, there stood a pole with a light atop it. Not the electrical kind, but the old fire-lit ones from back in the day.<br/><br/>Thanks to this generous amount of light coming from the many poles, Olympus Squad had no trouble seeing their targets while they slowly made their way down one of these avenues between tent rows. Every time they came upon a new tent, Odysseus and Perseus, both of whom were equipped with military grade automatic shotguns, would breach a tent on each side and kill any rebels attempting to hide inside. Of course, most of the partisans were gathered at the end of the avenue, hiding behind a wall of assorted crates and pieces of metal that they had quickly erected when the fighting began. The biggest piece of the wall was also the most heavily armored: An AATV-24, one of many of the pieces of equipment stolen from Fort Baracoda two and a half months earlier. The fifty caliber machine gun on the AATV-24 started to fire on the advancing men of Olympus Squad when a man crawled inside the turret.”Whoa whoa whoa!” Cadmus shouted, firing a burst from his ASM-2.”We’ve got light armor, south-west end of the compound!” Achilles shouted into his headset as the squad dove to the ground. They’d get absolutely chewed apart out in the open here.<br/><br/>”Orpheus! Take ‘im down!” Hercules yelled, fumbling with a rocket launcher on his back. Orpheus calmly brought the scope of his StG 58 up to his eye. Seconds after, Orpheus took in a breath, and a single bullet whizzed through the air, smashing through the gunner’s left eye and popping out the back of his head. The man’s head whipped backwards with the sheer force of the round, with his body following suit moments later. Orpheus visibly shuddered, before running a hand over his chest in the shape of a cross. The rest of the team jumped back up and began to return fire at the rebels. Man after man tried to take the turret gun back, but every time Orpheus shot them in the same exact place; and every kill brought another cross to Orpheus’s chest.<br/><br/>To the side of the advancing squad, Perseus fired off two bursts from his shotgun, mauling a group of rebels lying in wait. Achilles glanced around at his team, pride building up rapidly as they moved down the way, the rebel forced at the other end getting massacred by the elite team’s barrage of bullets. Then, Achilles noticed something.”Where’s Odysseus?!” He shouted, turning around rapidly.”Achilles! stay behind Cadmus!” Jason snarled, snapping off shots with his StG 58.”Hold position! I’m going back to find-” Achilles was interrupted by a massive explosion from behind him. He turned around slowly, fearing what he might see. The AATV-24 the rebels had pillaged was in flames, and the rebels that had clung to it for cover were dead.”What was<i>that</i>?” Hercules said in disbelief. The sound of a shotgun going off in the distance shook the squad back into reality.”They firin’ at us, mates?” Perseus asked, moving over to the others. A man climbed atop the makeshift rebel fortification, holding a shotgun in the air and yelling like a banshee.”-Odysseus..” Achilles finished, breathing a sigh filled with too many different emotions at the same time.”He did it. He bloody did it.” Cadmus muttered, lowering his shield. Achilles jogged to the front of the group, and the others followed after their leader.<br/><br/>Odysseus hopped off the wall and met his squad half way.”You insubordinate, crazy little ginger!” Achilles yelled, hugging his fellow Steel Cobra. The others moved in closer to give Odysseus their own unique forms of congratulations.”How’d you do it?” Hercules asked, shrugging the heavy weight on his back into a more comfortable position.”That, my friend, is a story for the bar.” Odysseus said with a sly grin.”Alright, we’ve got a compound to clear. Let’s move!” Achilles announced, holding his assault rifle in the air with a single hand.”This is Ground Cobra Command to all combat elements of Steel Cobra Company! The compound is nearly clear, but we have a situation. There’s an old Russian-made tank hold up in the south-eastern corner of the compound. No one where these backwater lobsters got a hold of such things, but the Royalists are putting up quite the fight. We don’t have any armor in the area, and the helicopters are ten minutes out. Any teams with anti-armor capabilities are to attempt to immobilize or destroy the tank. Command, out.” The static filled orders from command had reached Jason, the squad’s radio man’s, ears. Jason then relayed it all to the others, and the squad began to move. No order was given, for none had to be. They knew where to go and what to do.<br/><br/>They were Cobras, after all.<br/><br/><b> SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA</b><br/><br/>*A number of days after the above half of the post*<br/><br/>The sun shone brightly in the beautiful city of Sydney, its blazing light intensified as it glared off the many towering skyscrapers that dotted the city. The streets below these skyscrapers were covered by motor vehicles of all makes and models, with hundreds of thousands of citizens crowding the streets, trying to make their way to wherever they were going. So very many human lives, yet at that moment all attention was not on the city and the people within it. No, Australia’s eyes were on Governor-General Mark Chapman and Prime Minister Mary Crackenthorpe, and the mighty vessel they were preparing to board that sat in the harbor behind them. The Governor-General and the Prime-Minister stood side by side on top of a raised platform, their backs to the ocean as the throngs of people who had gotten off work a few hours ago watched their pictures get taken. The media was all over this: after all, it isn’t often your country prepares to join an empire without a drop of blood shed. After the crowd of reporters had their fill of pictures, the Prime Minister took her seat behind the Governor-General, alongside a number of other ministers, as well as General McBride and Admiral Crickett.<br/><br/>Chapman took a few steps to the right, until he was standing behind a wooden podium that a stage hand had dragged up the steps for his use. Mark tapped the microphone and coughed, checking if it was working. The static that followed told the Governor-General that it was, and that it was time for him to make a grand speech to the people of the world.<br/><br/>And he had left his cards on his desk.<br/><br/>Again.<br/><br/>The Governor-General coughed yet again, looking out over the crowd. He had no idea what he should say.”People of Australia,” he began his speech, trying to look as if he had memorized it, and wasn’t making it up as he was going along. Mrs. Chapman, standing in the first row of people, facepalmed. She could tell he had forgotten his cards, couldn’t she? She always could tell..”Today shall be forever remembered in the pages of history. Not just the history of Australia, but the history of the world.” This was going to go very, very badly.”As you all know, my family and I will be leaving for the United Kingdom today. We will be travelling on the HMAS Canberra, flagship of the Royal Australian Navy, and Australia’s only battleship..” The Governor-General turned around, spreading his arms out wide, looking over the massive vessel of war. After a moment of taking in the sight, he turns around to face the crowd and the microphone again.”A mighty vessel indeed. How ironic that Australia’s greatest tool of violence and bloodshed be the harbinger of peace with Great Britain.” Chapman received a polite amount of laughter. Alright, they weren’t all asleep. That’s good, right?”I urge all of you members of states that once belonged to the British Empire to return to her fold. Together, we might recreate that great shining light of freedom and strength, that once owned most of the known world. Under the leadership of King William, the British Empire will return to glory. Long live the British Empire, and long live William the VI, for his many strides to restoring this great Empire!” Chapman began to clap, taking a step away from the podium. The crowd followed his lead, a roar of sound echoing through the docks as the Australians present showed their patriotism.”<br/><br/>Good bye, Australia! I leave you in the capable hands of Prime Minister Crackenthorpe!” With that, the Governor-General and his family, as well as Admiral Cricket made their way towards the ramp that led up to the HMAS Canberra. A pair of frigates sat in front of the Canberra, dwarfed by the flagship. Behind the Canberra floated a tanker. Many miles ahead of the small sea-faring convoy, a submarine led the charge, scouting out the path that the fleet would follow to the United Kingdom..<br/><br/><b> NEAR MADIERA ISLANDS, OFF THE COAST OF WESTERN AFRICA</b><br/><br/>-Oberon-class submarine, HMAS Merciless-<br/><br/>Captain Archibald Donawho sat reclined in his chair, staring at the wall in front of him. The captain of the first Australian military vessel to leave Oceanic waters since the Great War, and Archibald was bored out of his mind. He’d settle for playing golf over this. Which was something he never did. Archibald turned in his chair, looking at the various instruments surrounding him on all sides. They were all copies of the instruments used by the crew sitting around on the lower platform before him. It was all the same nonsense he’d seen seen they’d left Australia: a whole lot of nothing interesting. The occasional fishing boat or trade ship popped up on the radar every once and awhile. The graph showing the progress of the mapping of the bottom of the ocean remained as it always did: never being looked at, because oceanography never interested Archibald. No, what interested Archibald was the money and the job where he got to watch ships blow up. Yet, he’d never launched a single torpedo in his entire career. There were never any pirate ships big enough to justify a torpedo attack. So Archibald and his crew were always left on reconnaissance duty.<br/><br/>“We’re going to be passing by the Strait of Gibraltar soon, sir.” Commander Nathan King announced, stepping through a hatch and into the command deck.”Oh?” Archibald sat up a bit straighter hearing this news. This is where all the action at sea is, these days.”Aye, Cap’n. The Spanish Armada is moving down the Suez Canal as we speak. The boys are sayin’ that the Ethiopian’s don’t have a proper navy to respond with, so it won’t be much of a spectacle.” Nathan commented.”Anything’s better than this.” Archibald muttered, resting his head on his hand.<br/><br/>“Well, sir-” Nathan was interrupted by the most anticipated sound that one can hear in a submarine on recon duty: the sound of a telegram typing.<br/><br/>“Who’s it from?!” A sailor shouted through the commotion.”Quiet! Everyone quiet!” Archibald yelled, and the entire deck froze. A man pulled the telegram off the wall, running up the short flight of stairs that led up to the captain’s platform. The sailor handed the captain the telegram, and he began to read it, his eyes moving so much faster than his brain that he had to read it twice to realize what it said.<br/><br/>“Command..Command wants us to document the battle in the Suez.” the captain said, his mouth agape. The captain jumped up from his chair, and began shouting orders. Things were finally getting interesting."

The British flag sat as the backdrop for an ornate podium, atop a stage. Seconds later, a greying old man with a gaunt face, large nose and grey eyes like a hawk entered and sat down at the desk, folding his hands over one another, and looking into the camera.<br/><br/>""People of Great Britain. As many of you may have noticed, a slightly large amount of young men of our armed forces said their goodbyes a few nights ago. Many of them had been instructed to not explain why when they left, but as your King, I feel it is now my duty to reveal that secret.""<br/><br/>""As many of you know, Britain was once a strong, great country. We ruled more of the world than the Romans could have dreamed of. That was, until, the Great War, which single handedly led to the decline of our nation, and the end of our empire. However, many of us higher ups do not want to call that the end of the Great British Empire. No, we simply want to refer to it as a break. A challenge, if you will.""<br/><br/>Clearing his throat and straightening his suit, the king continued on.<br/><br/>""As of this moment, we are formally going to war. With the Ethiopian army distracted by the Spanish, we have seen this as a golden opportunity to retake our rightful lands in South Africa without interference. This is just the first step. Before my death, I plan to restore the British Empire to it's former glory- no. That's not right. I plan to add even more glory, to it.""<br/><br/>""Soon, the Governor-General of Australia will be arriving here in our country to formally enter a commonwealth agreement with us, essentially re-instating them as part of the empire, in all but the finest of details. Once South Africa falls, we will restore order to all former territories, either through the diplomatic route the Australians have taken, or through acts of war, as we have been forced to enter with the South Africans.""<br/><br/>""People of Britain. We have been i the background for far too long. We have sat and watched as other nations rose to the spotlight. Rose to OUR spotlight. It's finally time for us to take action, and return to our rightful place in the world! Together, we will prevail. Together, we will retake what is rightfully ours. Together... We will restore our Empire!""<br/><br/>Following a brief burst of applause from the room the King had addressed the nation in, he stood from his seat, and exited the view of the camera, just before it blacked out, and the channels which had just been adorned with the face of the King returned to whatever programming had been there prior.<br/><br/><b>Southern Atlantic Ocean</b><br/><br/>As the British fleet made it's way South, many of the men who would soon enter combat for the first time sat in silence, listening to various officers bark orders, and repeat strategies at them.<br/><br/>One soldier in particular, a young Irish boy who looked more like a middle schooler than a soldier about to go into battle, sat alone, racking his brain trying to remember what his officer had said to him just moments prior. As he sat there, pulling at brown hair which wasn't actually there, he had caught the attention of somebody who looked almost the exact opposite of him. Tall, with strong features, and very muscular in comparison, the black haired Scottish man took a seat beside him, and leaned forward to speak with his friend.<br/><br/>""Forgot the plan again, Ian?"" laughed the taller man, as he watched the Irish boy nearly jump out of his skin.<br/><br/>""No sir! I just-"" the boy started, before realizing who he was speaking to.<br/><br/>""God damn it James, you just about gave me a heart attack! I thought I was seriously going to be in trouble!""<br/><br/>Still laughing, James clapped Ian on the back. ""Not this time, young Ian. Not this time. Though if you ever do get yourself into any shit, don't worry. I'll have your back.""<br/><br/>Having calmed down, the comment warranted a smile from Ian.<br/><br/>""By the way. Where did you end up? I remembering you were debating for a while whether you were going to be a medic or a pilot."" James said.<br/><br/>""Well."" replied Ian. ""I put a lot of thought into it, and ended up becoming a medic.""<br/><br/>Smiling smugly, and raising an eyebrow, James replied bluntly.<br/><br/>""So you failed the pilot exam, and went with your second choice?""<br/><br/>""Exactly."" laughed Ian in response.<br/><br/>Just as James was about to speak again, an officer came into the room, urging everyone to their feet, at attention.<br/><br/>""Listen up! A broadcast just aired back home that you all should know about. The king has publicly announced what we are doing down here. Which means that, as of now, each and every one of you are at war with South Africa. What that means is that you all need to stop goofing off, start straightening up, and for the love of God, start paying some God damned attention to what I am saying! The time to be giddy about being a soldier in the first major war since the Anarchy ended is over. It's time to get serious, and get ready for the hell you are about to charge into. The fact we announced it preemptively means that they have a little time to prepare, so expect bullets flying over your heads the second you head for the shore.<br/><br/>Now, go get some damn sleep. When you wake up, it could very well be your last day among the living if you aren't in tip top shape, which I would like to prevent at all costs. Now get the hell to your rooms, or I might just have to do the Africans jobs for them!""<br/><br/>Breaking as quickly as possible, people scrambled for their rooms, not wanting to piss off the man known as the the meanest son of a bitch in the entire British Armed Forces.<br/><br/><b>Downtown London</b><br/><br/>A low, rumbling thunder rolled across the night sky of London, yet was completely drowned out by the sounds of civilization. People shouting, sirens, car horns... The usual. Yet every single person would complain the second it started to rain on them without warning. That was just life, and seconds after their complaints, they would get used to it, and move on, as they always do.<br/><br/>These were the thoughts of the foreign man sitting on a bench in the center of London, as he watched people go about their business, watching each and every one of them closely. He ran a hand through thick, black hair, pulling it back as whatever products he overkilled it with held the shape as he placed his hand in his front pocket, pulling out a cigarette and lighter. Lighting up, he sat back and relaxed, stretching an arm across the bench, much to the displeasure of an elderly woman who was sharing it with him.<br/><br/>""What?"" He said, smirking and revealing pearly white teeth. ""It's a public bench, if you can't deal with my hand being there, go sit at home, you hag.""<br/><br/>Aghast, the old woman stood up, turned to the man, and swung her arm to slap him, only to have it caught.<br/><br/>""I wouldn't do that if I were you."" he said in a cocky tone, as he pulled her hand to his lips, and kissed. it, which was the final straw for her. She pulled her hand back violently, and stormed off, glaring at the Persian as she went.<br/><br/>Laughing to himself, the man relaxed once more, as he took another puff of his cigarette, and stroked his stubble-coated chin, before closing his eyes, and dropping the cigarette on the ground, still burning.<br/><br/>Moments later, he sat back up, and resumed his people watching, though not for long. Upon spotting a young blonde, he quickly stood up, and made his way over to her, while maintaining a short distance form her. Eventually, he saw her stop in front of a television shop, and saw that as his opportunity.<br/><br/>Moving beside her, he looked down at the television, and laughed. ""They think this shit will sell televisions? Seeing some grey, wrinkly old bastard telling people how to live their lives?""<br/><br/>Looking up at the Persian with bright green eyes, the girl laughed nervously.<br/><br/>""No, really. This shit only appeals to people that look the exact same, and they more often then not already have a TV, yeah?""<br/><br/>""Yeah"" the girl said shyly, causing the Persian man to laugh.<br/><br/>""Sorry, that's not exactly the best way to start a conversation, is it?"" Extending a hand to the girl, the Persian smiled. ""I'm Joseph. Well, Yousef, but I changed my name when I got here. Had to fit in, you know?""<br/><br/>The girl nodded, as she pulled an arm from inside of a ratty coat, meeting his hand and shaking it. ""Catherine."" She replied bluntly.<br/><br/>""Ah, what a beautiful name!"" Joseph relied ecstatically. ""A fitting one for a woman with as much beauty as yourself.""<br/><br/>""Oh, shove it. I think we both know I'm not beautiful."" replied Catherine, smiling at Joseph as she warmed up to him. ""You know, you're not going to pick anyone up like that.""<br/><br/>""Oh, really? Then, please. Tell me. How can I get you to let me take you somewhere?""<br/><br/>""Just ask."" Catherine replied bluntly, once again.<br/><br/>Shrugging, Joseph replied equally as blunt. ""Fine. Catherine, may I take you somewhere nice?""<br/><br/>""Sure, but I'm not paying."" She said, causing Joseph to laugh.<br/><br/>""I thought that was already part of the deal."" replied Joseph. ""Now, shall we walk through this rain, or shall we hurry to my car?"" He asked, causing Catherine to turn around.<br/><br/>""I didn't even notice it started to rain."" she laughed. ""Definitely the car, then.""<br/><br/>Nodding, Joseph pulled out an umbrella, and pulled the woman close, as he escorted her to his car a few blocks away. Once they were both inside, he asked her if she had any preference as to where they should go. When she replied by shaking her head, he told her it would have to be a surprise, which she agreed to.<br/><br/>As they drove away, Catherine couldn't help but notice that they were leaving town.<br/><br/>""So... This place is outside of London, huh?""<br/><br/>""It's a surprise, remember?"" Joseph said, with much less emotion than he had had earlier, which worried the girl.<br/><br/>""Um... On second thought, I need to get home by a certain time. If I'm not back by ten, my mother will kill me.""<br/><br/>""Oh, don't worry about it. I don't think that will be a problem."" Joseph said.<br/><br/>Scared now, Catherine reached for the door, as if to open it and jump out, but it locked with a click as she did.<br/><br/>""Hey, let me out! I said I changed my mind!"" She shouted, pulling the door aggressively, and causing Joseph to stop short, sending her, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, flying forward and slamming her head into the dashboard, knocking her unconscious.<br/><br/>As she awoke, the first thing Catherine saw was iron bars under a dim light. As she came to, she also noticed a few other things. First of all, she was handcuffed to the back of the cage. Second, she noticed that she wasn't alone. There were three other women, and one male, in the exact same condition as her. Two of them were still unconscious, while the other two were frantically trying to get out of their handcuffs.<br/><br/>In a state of panic, and already in tears, Catherine hoarsely tried asking the woman closest to her where they were. Shaking her head, the other woman said she didn't know, and that the last thing she remembered was going into an alleyway to help a woman who said her child was bit by a dog. Immediately after, both of the women began to try getting out of the cuffs, as the other two int he room came to from the noise. But before they could join in the attempted escape, a heavy door opened, pouring bright light into the room, as the silhouette of a man entering the room froze them all, as their eyes glued to him out of fear.<br/><br/>Once her eyes had adjusted, Catherine realized who it was.<br/><br/>""Joseph! What the hell is this?! Please, let me out!"" she shouted at him, her eyes welling with tears out of rage as she grit her teeth.<br/><br/>Smiling, the Persian man walked over to her, and crouched down next to the cage.<br/><br/>""Well, you see, dear. I can't exactly do that. Not yet, at least. Somebody has to purchase you before I can do that.""<br/><br/>Catherine froze.<br/><br/>Purchase me? What the hell does that mean? What's going on?<br/><br/>Catherine's thoughts were interrupted by the woman in the cage next to her starting to shout.<br/><br/>""You disgusting piece of shit! Let me the fuck out of here, right now! I swear I will kill you!""<br/><br/>Still smiling, Joseph turned to her. ""Well, if you swear you will kill me, I don't think I should let you out of there, now should I?""<br/><br/>Screaming, the woman began to frantically try breaking out of the cuffs, bloodying her wrists as she did so. Meanwhile, Catherine just completely broke down, wailing as the tears started to completely pour from her face.<br/><br/>""Oh, now none of that."" Joseph said smugly. ""Here, you know what...""<br/><br/>Moving to her cage, Joseph pulled out a key, unlocking her cage and opening the door, before moving behind it and undoing her cuffs.<br/><br/>""Since I feel bad for you, you can go. Just head straight through that door, and you'll be free. Now, hurry, before I change my mind.""<br/><br/>Panicked, and without thinking, she ran straight though the door, as Joseph walked behind her, closing the heavy door behind them. As he turned from closing the door, he saw Catherine, completely frozen, as a spotlight focused on her. Laughing, he walked up to a podium next to her, and redid her handcuffs as she collapsed to her knees.<br/><br/>After standing again, he pulled a microphone close to his face, as he looked over a small crowd of people, all wearing elegant outfits, sitting at small tables and enjoying exquisite food and drink.<br/><br/>""Thank you all for coming to the first auction of the year! As usual, we are starting with our youngest item of the night. A beautiful, young blonde runaway, with emeralds for eyes that are just do die for! And for those of you that are here for the organ trade, I'll have you know that the doctor looked over her, and said she's a very healthy little thing. So... What's the first offer?"""
22048,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-10-13 10:57:00,Vilageidiotx,"<b>Beijing, China</b><br/><br/>Fulumirani Digane had never been a heavy eater. When he was a child, his mother would chide him for nibbling on injera at dinner and ignoring the spicy watt. Chinese food hadn't changed his habits. He had pushed the steaming bowl of red spicy soup to the side after taking a few sips. In front of him, his hands were wrapped around a hot cup of coffee. Ethiopian. It had been hard to find, at first. The Chinese did not have the taste for the drink. They preferred tea. In those years, chicory had been more common than the real bean, produced cheaply in America. Horrible stuff. He had imported his own beans from home.<br/><br/>But things had changed. African goods had taken hold in the east, and the Chinese were discovering coffee. African Cafe's were becoming fashionable, offering the internationally-claustrophobic Chinese a taste of the world they had been closed off from for so many years. He could find what he wanted in Beijing markets. Some days, when he felt like seeing the city and braving the tight crowds of the markets, he went shopping for his self. That was rare. Most of the time, he sent a secretary.<br/><br/>An out-of-season snow had fell on Beijing. It was a light dusting, leaving sparse white clumps clinging to the spring greenery. There was still a slight chill in the air, but Fulumirani was used to that. He had adjusted to the cold during his time in Canada, but there were days when he missed the warmth he had grown up with. Sometimes, he missed the days that he was the ambassador to the rebellious American south. Nostalgia made him forget how unstable it had been. He just remembered what it was to be a young man in the flowering of his career. And he remembered the warm humidity there.<br/><br/>Snow clung to the pink cotton flowers of peach trees. Beyond were the sleepy buildings of ancient China, with sloping roofs and plastered stone that swallowed the morning's sound. The silent calm of this neighborhood was something he loved. Beyond the creaking green-painted wood of the veranda, it was still and quiet.<br/><br/>He heard footsteps cross the deck. The whining wood made Fulumirani wince. Sometimes, it would groan so loud that it sounded as if it were going to give way.<br/><br/>""Ambassador."" he heard the familiar rusty voice of Jean Thaba. ""The Chairman's office called us. Hou is on his way.""<br/><br/>Fulumirani nodded. This was a conversation he had been waiting for. It was strange to him, how little stress the war was causing him. He had never married, and his parents had passed away years ago. He had a sister in Awasa who still wrote to him, but he hadn't seen her since his last visit home several years before. His part in this was was intellectual. It was duty, not anxiety, that paved the road he traveled.<br/><br/>He watched Thaba walk away, and wondered what his investment was. He knew that Thaba's family still lived in Douala, but he did not know much about them. He had brothers. Would they fight in this war? Thaba had spent a month with them during the winter to celebrate Christmas. He was a young man, still in his twenties. Did he want to fight? Thaba had never seemed like a violent man, but when everything you identified with was put to question...<br/><br/>Fulumirani's blood had never ran hot, but he had considered military service. He was too thin for it, and too lethargic to find anything about warfare admirable. In the end, he decided civil service was a better fit for him.<br/><br/>When breakfast was cleared away, he stayed on the veranda. The sun was peaking above the city, and the air was warming up. Hou would appreciate this setting more than an another stuffy office. A pitcher of water was brought out. Fulumirani waited, and thought.<br/><br/>With a creak the door to the veranda open. There was the dull thud of wood on wood as from within out strolled the Chairman of the Chinese politic. Hunched over a wooden cane. Wrinkled, old fingers gripping tight the modest, carved wood. A seizure had stripped him of most of his mobility, he could no longer walk without a third leg.<br/><br/>With a deep sigh, the Chairman breathed in the air of Beijing. It was warm, if still cool for the late weather. ""Ambassador Fulminari,"" he said, ""I hope I haven't come in poor taste.""<br/><br/>He turned to the ambassador. ""I came from a meeting, it was decided we should move fast to our best capabilities. I hope you are not at odds with discussing the recent storm at home.""<br/><br/>""I think my Emperor would be angry if I were"" Fulumirani said dryly. He reached to his side and gently pushed out a chair. ""Please, sit.""<br/><br/>Hou bowed politely. With a stiff groan he lowered himself down into the arms of the wicker lawn chair and leaned back. His fingers wrapped around the wooden cane as he held it out in front of him. His eyes staring distantly out across the local cityscape of Beijing.<br/><br/>""The recent military aggression within the Red Sea has prompted I and my command to consider military intervention to defend your people."" he began with a low note, ""Though we can not commit a full force immediately due in part of current endeavors and we will need to petition Congress. The issue would be too decisive right now to join in a timely manner. However we do have resources we would be willing to commit to the effort to bypass the National Congress.<br/><br/>""We'll commit the Pemba division of our armed forced to take part in what limited military action they can,"" Hou said, ""Or to defend Addis Ababa when you need more men elsewhere, whatever the case. We will additionally be willing to lend recon support over the Spanish territories to determine the level of threat in an additional front, or the suggestion of a possible chemical attack from Spain.""<br/><br/>""Any help will be accepted."" Fulumirani explained. He leaned into the table, one elbow on the table. He put in his imagination an image of Africa, and of all the geography that divided it from China.<br/><br/>""I believe one of the largest concerns we have is with the shipping lanes. Spain will not be able to<i>conquer</i>Africa. Not truly. But they can try to subdue her. If we are going to disrupt the Spanish war effort enough so that they will not gain enough of a foot hold in our territories to began to annex them, we will need support from the Chinese industry.""<br/><br/>""We understand and we'll be moving to accommodate."" Hou said. To be honest it hadn't been thought of at the meeting, Hou thought, though was a valid point. If they were to attempt to disrupt the European shipping to effect Spain, it would be best to leverage something into Ethiopia.<br/><br/>""We're currently in the planning stages to determine the logistic aspects of sending ships to the African coast."" Hou continued, with much less of a lie, ""Admiral Han Shen said he'll look into the necessary resources to dispatch to the African coast. There's no doubt we will use these to keep open African ports for relief supplies.""<br/><br/>""One possible thing I would suggest."" Fulumirani said, ""Would be organizing a smuggling operation through Mozambique. They are a neutral party on paper, but their government is new and we have our agents within it. I doubt Spain would have the resources to blockade the entire continent. It would be a feat, anyway.""<br/><br/>""That sounds like an option."" Hou nodded, ""When we next convene I will need to pass this to Commander Sing. If you would now - or then - we could arrange the contact information. Keep ahead of the Spanish and keep communications between us two brief. I'm sure he would Sing would prefer it that way.""<br/><br/>Fulumirani nodded. ""That will be acceptable. The lines of communications could be through my office to yours if you prefer. Or from mine to Commander Sing's. Whichever is determined to be more secure. There might be a point where, heaven forbid, things get out of hand enough that your IB becomes our primary contact with our forces in Africa... and I don't think that is a contingency we can make plans for. If it happens, the circumstances will require us to act based on the unique difficulties that arise."" He cleared his throat. ""There is another concern, too. The matter of refugees. I hope I am not too forward in assuming that the royal family and their entourage would be allowed in the country?""<br/><br/>""Yaqob lived here once,"" Hou said, ""I'm sure China can accommodate again, and for whomever seeks safety. I'll see to the visa conditions are managed, and I'll bring it up when we meet again so we might organize appropriate lanes for them again. On the intelligence contacts, I'm sure Sing would much rather handle them himself.""<br/><br/>""We will follow the stipulations and guidelines your government prefers. Do not worry about that."" Fulumirani smiled in his aloof way. ""Another thing too..."" he shifted in his seat. ""I was informed yesterday of a new concern. Regarding evacuation procedures, that is. Yaqob personally asked if the Chinese government would be willing to host certain... religious relics. There are items the old Ethiopian church do not want to lose to the Europeans. They would want assurances that these things will be returned to them when the time is right""<br/><br/>""I wouldn't have any problems with this."" Hou said, surprised, ""Could you say what needs to be protected here?""<br/><br/>""The communication was brief."" Fulumirani said. ""But I have my guesses. Nothing that has been verified to me, mind you. And it is hard to say what the scope of the Emperor's suggestion is. He likes these things, you know, his artifacts. But..."" he paused for a moment. ""If I were to venture a first guess, I would say that it is the Tabot of the Jews.""<br/><br/>""I can't say I'm wholly familiar with items from the western faiths."" Hou said apologetically, ""But if they're important we'll find space to house them until the crisis ends.""<br/><br/>""That is all we could ask."" Fulumirani replied. ""I think that will sate my Emperor.""<br/><br/>""Honored, for a friend."" Hou nodded, taking a deep sigh.<br/><br/>There was a moment's silence. A warm spring breeze blowing across the open porch. The soft woosh of a car engine echoed from the streets below, ""I don't know how long it'll be until the commanders launch the orders for our preliminary moves."" Hou spoke, ""But I'm assured they'll begin shortly. Anything valuable we collect we'll move to your embassy. Provided formal contacts aren't made between our military and yours to more directly share intelligence and coordinate efforts. So I have a proposal myself,"" Hou sighed, ""For this to work best I presume we will need to establish a joint mission. An organization between our militaries to coordinate our joint efforts through. One which might expand, should we tie up our ends and Congress approves to breech our decades long defensive policy.""<br/><br/>""I think my government would be receptive."" Fulumirani answered. He hadn't expected this much openness in the Chinese government. He looked out across the city, over the blooming trees of pink and fresh green, and out toward the center where the tops of distant buildings peaked over the nearby horizon of foliage. China. He had spent his time making small concessions, and enjoying the quiet gardens in this sleepy part of Beijing. It was easy for him to forget where he was. The sleeping dragon. This could be the war that woke the dragon. And if it were to be stirred... under its shadow, the world would quake.<br/><br/>""The condition of Pemba will be in question. I am not sure how the Spanish will react when confronted with Chinese territory sitting within Africa's borders. For now, we might be able to use it as a base for our cooperation, but the future might be more complicated. Would it be too soon to start considering military ambassadors?""<br/><br/>""Perhaps."" Hou said, ""We'll await that when Congress makes full provisions. The commander of the Pemba detachment should work just as well."" the Chairman said dismissively, ""When it comes time for full Chinese effort, we'll ensure we have dignitaries of our military in the court at Addis to streamline the effort and see to the Spanish retreat."""
22049,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-10-20 02:39:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>China, 35,000 meters</b><br/><br/>It didn't matter how much he had gone up this high. Staring down from the belly of a dragon at the great Earth below was always frightening. Sailing along beyond the edge of the clouds, where the sun was as bright as knives were sharp. Where there was no gratification in the warmth of the sun's radiation, sometimes stolen away by the breath of cold air brushing past his bubble.<br/><br/>And more so was the conditions of the Earth below. Somewhere over Qinghai now, maybe. It was hard to tell. From the crown of the world, the terrain was an identical series of fractal valleys, where rain streams of water no doubt. But being so high and so distant from it all the streams and rivers were no doubt little less than a brown hair in the dust of a rocky garden. Cast in distant haze, yet to clear up high. Whispy clouds passed between he and the Earth, obscuring any finer details he would hope to see. He could see the profile of lakes, that was for sure. As clear as the mountainous, craggy peaks on west-central China.<br/><br/>Even the settlements of humans were invisible this high up. Or at least not those out here. Pressed against his forehead the body of his cold telescope rested as the airman looked down between his padded legs at his home passing below. He sighed, tired perhaps.<br/><br/>To him, what added more to the surrealism of it all was to look up at the horizon. The belly of the great dragon obscured the sky above him. It only pushed his gaze outwards to the horizon. A golden, orange band of light that followed the clearly rounded shape of the Earth's features. No mountains to break the continuity. Not even the might of the Himalayas that would be growing up from the southern horizon soon. And on the other side of that golden halo of the sun's light beaming off the thick clouds of the distance was the cold darkness of the beyond. An expansive blackness where if he looked just right he could see the faint suggestion of starlight in competition with the harsh rays of the sun.<br/><br/>They were flying to Tibet. The entire wing. The four others like him were too distant on the horizon. But if he craned his neck behind him, to look out under the tail wing of their impossible airplane he could sometimes swear to see the dot of one of their distant, yet near companions.<br/><br/>“How much longer we got?” a voice said in the man's ears, underlined with a harsh buzz. The crew's inter-craft communication. Almost reflexively his hand shot up to his ear for the headphones, intent almost to rip them off out of shock. But he relaxed.<br/><br/>“We've almost an hour yet, Sin Wu.” someone else spoke. The familiar clam demeanor of their navigator, no doubt flying his information by a watch and airspeed read-outs. He could almost see the cigarette-ash strewn map unrolled over his lap as he continually referenced it. “Shen, brother: what do you see outside The Peephole?”<br/><br/>The Peephole was the under-estimate of the decade, or so Shen thought as he looked down again at the landscape passing below. Looking back and ahead he looked for a fix he could recognize. Something geographical he could distinguish from so high up. Through The Peephole. The same hole he sat in, hung just over thick class by a wiry and uncomfortable throne. “I think we're just passing over Donggei Cuona.” he reported, looking out to just under the bullet nose of the airplane. Faded in the horizon, under the clouds, the familiar elongated smudge of blue that was Donggei Cuona.<br/><br/>“Thank you, comrade.” the navigator responded. Communications slipped into silence again.<br/><br/>There was an air of tension in the craft. No one could really say why they were relocating from out of Mongolia to Tibet. Even their captain, the pilot, didn't seem to fully understand the reasons. It was another layer to the voyage. One that mixed with the awe and vertigo of seeing your entire home laid open under neath you. Bubbling up from underneath with a feeling of unease.<br/><br/>Earlier this week, Shen had felt at ease with knowing where his life was headed. He had grown complaicent in the Mongolian steppe, minding the extensive airfield stationed there like many other pilots or the bomber crews. Deep Gobi, as elusive and unknown to the world outside, had become a familiar home to him over his passed three years of service.<br/><br/>Something was waiting for them in Tibet.<br/><br/><b>Western Hills over Beijing, China</b><br/><br/>The patter of rain on the roof signaled the coming of warm weather that washed away the rest of the stubborn late-season snow. The drops pattered like light feed on the tiled roof, flowing off in rivulets of silver as it raced down the outward curvature. Twisting outward as the rushing water pushed itself over the edge and ribboned down to the gravel yard. There was no other sound more relaxing than the sound of rain. And dancing with the wooden clatter of bamboo chimes hanging from the eaves outside as they bobbed in the warm southerly wind the flow and ebb of nature became a light rain song.<br/><br/>House dimmed with no other music, Mang Xhu, the minister of China's industry sat in a rich crimson chair, staring out the window over the city he hoped to someday call his capital. Like star-light, the glow of yellow lights shimmered in the distance between the boughs of trees. Xhu hazarded he had no better view of the city than outside it. Above it. On the hills that shielded the capital from the dry coldness of the Mongolian steppes to the north-west.<br/><br/>China had changed in twenty years. But there was nothing that bugged him more than the passed several years. He was afraid. Afraid for China. Of the outside. For a brief moment the Chinese state had opened to a western power. America. For a brief moment Mang Xhu clinched his teeth shut tight as he looked west-ward over the Pacific, afraid of the vampiric American capital interests that he had brushed shoulders with once upon an ancient time. For that brief moment the American White House felt friendly to China, for whatever reasons they had, Xhu was anxious.<br/><br/>But the efforts of the American people were turned elsewhere. Apparently, they feared China as much as they did the Canadians. What an ironic sort of enemy they had, after so many years. But it was this that saw the regime change in Washington. The one that closed shut their hopeful doors of diplomatic relationships. And the return of their respective ambassadors. And again Mang Xhu could breath.<br/><br/>Zhang Auyi had heralded the brief trading relationship with the US as a victory for China's economy. But Xhu knew deeper. He had learned it in America. Where the people starved as they did here at home, in China. But their destitute were better hidden. Xhu had learned just how dangerous the American concept of economy and management was. Concerned on trying to export, even during that time when the world was weakened financially. There was nothing that bid passion to the inside. Nothing that went inwardly over outwardly.<br/><br/>To be so proactive was, to him, a voluntary self-destructive act. To move the resources better spent on the people and the nation's well being as a whole to someone else. It wasn't strength. It wasn't inward power. It was bowing to someone else for capital that went only into the pockets of a few.<br/><br/>No, China was rich as it was. He could be as powerful as it was. He only had to win. Things would have been smooth, but Auyi had thrown his hat into the ring and now the entire Secretary Office was stagnant. Hou backing out, months retired from Beijing itself and holding his office by phone and courtier. He, trying to secure the succession for himself and the rightful path above others. And now that Auyi was his competition the office felt cold.<br/><br/>It was a tomb for him now. More than anything. One that was waiting for the dead man to be inturned, but one waiting for him to come to him alive. Last visit he made with officers he could feel Auyi's loyalists eyeing him with suspicion.<br/><br/>He rose his fingers to his lips, taking another draw from a sour cigarette. Xhu was by no means a young pup like Auyi. He was round in his age, though hardly fat all the same. His face a boulder that no moss grew from, but fell off of; his hair a stringy ring haphazardly combed over a balding spot dotted with liver spots.<br/><br/>He couldn't claim the cigarette felt good, the hot stingy smoke and ash dancing across his tongue, racing down his throat. But on the exhale his mind felt clearer and at ease. He could think in this moment of being alone.<br/><br/>He felt his succession was almost certain. He had courted the chiefs of the existing design bureaus. They were to rally their working staff on election day. Bring them to the polls. Even if they weren't all convinced they would ensure a passing win, and he didn't need to get out often. Hold a dinner, present some win, invite the secretaries to serve. Put on a show and talk about wealth and nation and smile. Make them feel they were winners and then send them home.<br/><br/>They were his own campaign. But now Auyi was in he felt he was loosing some of them. He was beginning to panic. He was a respected governor in the south. He was a regarded minister – perhaps not as much as he, but still. If he drew the lines as he had been doing, he'd have amassed a larger supporting block than him. But could farmers and cattle herders even be that ecstatic about election? You couldn't shut down a farm like you could a factory.<br/><br/>He drew on his cigarette again, leaning forward in his chair and closer to the window. The eastern face of his home was all glass, providing a rich panoramic view of Beijing. He hadn't been there when it fell. He wasn't a Hou Sai Tang. But he could lie and say he was. He could lie and say he was here, when he was really out west in the heart of the independent communes. He was a mobilizer then, like Xiogang Wen.<br/><br/>And that late in the revolution little cared for the Worker's Congress. Eyes were out east to where the last of the Reactionaries were being laid down and forced to surrender. The People were winning. Progressivism. A national worker's union.<br/><br/>And then Hou had to cut a deal with them. Absolve most of their roles. Sent only the most criminal to jail.<br/><br/>Xhu would have wanted them all purged. Exiled. Executed. Jailed. Now the last of the Old Guard for the Republicans and the Emperor's old officers were coming to the end of their reeducation terms. They'd be re-entering the larger community. They couldn't have that. But that was for another time.<br/><br/>What then was there for the immediate future. Surely there were those that disagreed with Auyi. He'd need to find them. Promise them things.<br/><br/>What of the International? It was a promising thing. But needed to be stronger. Needed centralizing. But would he be able to take control?<br/><br/>Through it, maybe he could force the annexation of those loyal to China. Stand more united. More as one against the West. It was a thought. It was an idea. Would it pass?<br/><br/>Could he then more appropriately force the proper justice on Japan for their actions in China? Break for once the closest power to challenge China's will in Asia. There were plenty who still hated the Emperor. Retribution would be powerful to the public. No more Europe. No more Africa. Just Japan. Then when the Spanish had burned out and raped Africa he would truly liberate Africa. No more Emperors. No more kings. No more Sotelo.<br/><br/>A door slid open behind him, and for a brief moment golden yellow light flashed in the darkened, gray sitting room. The light of the opening door briefly shining in the glass, casting the reflection of a long skinny woman. Soft footsteps drew close to him as someone moved along the red carpeted floor.<br/><br/>Long soft fingers fell across his shoulders, he looked up at their touch. Not smiling as he looked up at the grinning face of the woman alongside him, body wrapped in a white towel. He hair just barely dry.<br/><br/>“What are you thinking?” she said coyly. She was maybe half Xhu's age. She was short, skinny, and gentle. The epitome of the Chinese beauty to his eyes. Her hair – wet or dry – silky and smooth. And even in the dim stormy light of a rainy afternoon her eyes shone with the youthful romance, a certain lust.<br/><br/>“Nothing, and everything.” smirked Xhu, his voice high and cracked. He reached over to the end-table alongside him, extinguishing his cigarette into the jade-green ceramic ashtray there.<br/><br/>“Very philosophical.” she crooned, leaning over him. She was one of his secretaries, one of many. Several owed him such favors, but this one seemed to enjoy it all the more. He couldn't claim to complain.<br/><br/>“How was the water?” Xhu asked, leaning back. Gently her hands danced at his belt. She felt him, and he felt her. He felt warm, it was just a question if she was all the same.<br/><br/>“It was fine.” she said in a soft voice. She sounded like the chirping of a bird, in a odd childish sort of way. “A little cold. But you'll keep me warm, won't you?” she asked.<br/><br/>“I will.” Xhu crooned, his hand raising for the towel. So roughened, bruised. Yellow patches of cigarettes stains between his fingers. It looked like it didn't deserve the temptress that sat on his lap, dancing her fingers across him.<br/><br/>“You know,” he began, “they say that in his hedonism, Mao believed that young, supple, virgin girls were his key to long-life and good health. To see him through to as deep a time as he could get.” Xhu said, his hand rising along the cotton towel. His knuckles gently brushing along the skin underneath, feeling the curvature of her stomach, her breasts.<br/><br/>“Am I yours?” the secretary asked, shyly.<br/><br/>“Tonight,” Xhu said, wrapping his fingers around where the towel was tied around itself, “and tomorrow.” he added, “And maybe next week.” he smiled, pulling his fingers and letting the towel drop, letting it land across his belly as the naked girl opened his pants.<br/><br/>“Let's both have long life then.” she smiled wide, letting her master have her all.<br/><br/><b>Kalachinsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>The clanging of metal. The rumble of motors. The engineer's motor pool was no stranger to activity. Passing through cargo loads with the engineer's logistics corp logo emblazoned on the door. They came with regularity. The pool wasn't just a glorified military shop, as it was a way to register and direct passing motors. With a rain coat and a clip-board a small team of officers hovered on the edge addressing each passing driver on the updates to the battle, or where what amount of shells needed to be.<br/><br/>A light drizzle had fallen in over the small village town. The sky wholly loosing its spring openness and luster and falling into a depressing gray that came with rain so late in the day. It was even more complimentary to the war, and the drab greens faded into the browns and the grays. The only real color was the glowing reds of flags and banners. And the proud warm orange glow of lamplight.<br/><br/>As the light lowered and dimmed, so did come out the lamps. Glowing under the hoisted bodies of cars on wrought steel jacks the men of the attached mechanic's core went to work despite the rain. Dressed in heavy plastic and warm caps they went about despite the cold rain. Even under the jacked-up tank, several scrounged jacks having found their way to its belly to lift the one side off to repair the tracks. The orange fire the illuminated their presence shone off the rain whetted mud and steel. Hoods drawn up over their faces they went at the wheels and the treads with wrenches, welders, and tools Tsung didn't have a name for.<br/><br/>And with the music from the player that sat next to him as he basked in the orange glow of the lamp brought out for him he watched.<br/><br/>They were a soft bunch, he hazarded. Loud, noisy, and proud. Even above the hammering and the grind of metal they talked incessantly over each other and the sound they made. They laughed, jeered, told amusing anecdotes. Even at times turning to engage in conversation with Tsung as one turned away unneeded from the rest, or came to adjust the music.<br/><br/>It had only been the evening so far, but the small squad of men who had greeted he and his fellow crewmen were considerably gregarious as far as things went. And they had introduced themselves quickly in his presence, if on their own time.<br/><br/>There was An Bai, who was the loudest. His voice was noticeable above everything, more so his laugh which came from his mouth at the flip of any joke. It was high-pitched, almost shrill. Fitting in a sense, for despite claiming to be twenty-three he was a man that looked more like a boy than anything. His face smooth and still fat with youth, he wasn't hard or grizzled. A stranger in such company.<br/><br/>Opposite to Bai in physique and mannerisms was the sergeant, third-rank. Though polite he was a hard man to look at. His cheeks shallow and sunken and lips drawn thin and broken. He was sharp in his eyes, and low and quiet in his voice. He was like Tsung's own uncle: calm, collected, and conservative. Also their leader, as far as things went. Bi Wu. Shang Shi Bi Wu.<br/><br/>Guo Jonny was a fairer skinned member of the gaggle of grease monkeys. Taller as well. An echo of European lineage in Chinese lands. He claimed his father was a doctor during the Siege of Hong Kong and sent his then pregnant mother to the mainland with the rest of the excursion lead by Hou. Presumably he was able to use his British citizenship for protection, but he had never heard anything about him apart from stories, as he claimed. He was fair built, and none would tell him apart as Chinese if it weren't for the squat narrow eyes that rested shallow in his skull.<br/><br/>Liu Wu was a the central plains. He was short, squat. But he was nimble. Even at a distance as Tsung watched he was amazed and the speed he had in his hands and fingers. It took him minutes to strip down much of the treads to pass off and begin pawing through the wheels in search of damage. His crooked face bent more misshapen as he peered up through the wheels with a flashlight.<br/><br/>The one to keep the spirits most high in all was a rat of a man by the name of Shu Da. Skinny as a twig, to where his coat – much the same as his uniform – hung loosely from his frame. He darted between the jobs, acting more as a gopher. Acting in defiance of the gloom by shouting crude jokes into the rain. Much to the humor of a bored An Bai.<br/><br/>“Damn, this rain in Russia is so cold it may freeze my soul and turn me into a dumbass!” he called out at the storm, taking on the deep tonal voice of someone very much in that position already. His crude and cocky grin turned up as he ran about with arms laden with tool kits.<br/><br/>“And to Hell with washing the cars, the soup doesn't stick to shit in this kind of weather!” he shouted again, “And damned if we don't know, we're all standing in it!”<br/><br/>Bai's chuckling and hawing was loud enough to excuse the sound of the light drops pattering down onto Tsung's hood as he sat against the wall, impatiently twiddling his thumbs. It's not like he didn't appreciate the attempts at lightening the mood the engineer was trying. But that he was preoccupied. He had come to fear Song, he only knew true anger a few times. He could only bite back and hold his tongue quiet in hopes that whatever was to happen was not heavy.<br/><br/>“So my girlfriend told me before deployment,” Da continued in a flatter tone, “'before you go, could we climb Mount Chomolungma?'<br/><br/>“And I told her, 'baby, if you want to climb the tallest mountain: why not you get on me?'”<br/><br/>“Damn it, Da.” Liu Wu complained, looking out from under the tread well to glower at the patrolling jokester, “Could you really just stop.”<br/><br/>Liu Wu stopped for a brief moment. Staring at him with a blank face. “Da?” he said, “Isn't that what the Russians here use for 'yes'?” he asked.<br/><br/>There was a brief cold pause and silence among the group. “No, that's 'dja'.” sergeant Wu said dryly.<br/><br/>“No, Da!” Da corrected with a wolfish grin, “I'm the fucking Yes Man!” he cheered, laughing loud. An Bai followed suit, and Tsung had to grant him that, it was a quick and smart shot of humor. He himself couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.<br/><br/>“So... uh...” Tsung said, raising his voice, “How ready is it not?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Close to half way if not there.” Wu said, “The old tread plates are off. They only need to be replaced, if we can scavenge some up. We don't have replacements now.” he pulled himself out from under the tank, brushing rain water from his brow with his hand and brushing the grime from his narrow brow.<br/><br/>“You don't have any?” Tsung said, surprised.<br/><br/>“No.” Wu said, shaking his head.<br/><br/>“I can put out a request for someone to scavenge some up. Ask some of the couriers to bring them back after they're pulled from a Russian corpse.” Bi Wu said, voice dry, “It'll be the best I can do, unless Song wants to wait a good week for a whole new tread belt to come from Shenyang.”<br/><br/>“So what did you hit again, a mine?” Guo Jonny asked.<br/><br/>“Yeah...” Tsung nodded.<br/><br/>“Shit, lucky it wasn't very big.” the half-Chinaman smirked, “There's only real damage on the treads. The hull over the belly is fine. Even the wheels and mechanisms in the tread motors weren't badly damaged.” he talked like a doctor giving a prognosis. Cool and calculated in his words, and confident.<br/><br/>“You might at worst hear some grinding from the left side from now on.” he added, “But in a Tei-Gui it doesn't hardly matter.”<br/><br/>“You drove Tei-Guis?” Tsung asked the Hong Konger.<br/><br/>Jonny shrugged, “A little.” he responded distantly, “It's sort of in our training after basic we drive or ride inside most of the equipment you jackasses in the field use. So we're familiar with how they feel in the event you break a toy.”<br/><br/>“Sometimes I wonder if your lot is any better than my nephews.” their sergeant teased, joking, “I'll radio out for an order. If all goes well we could have a new belt to break apart and patch up your damage by morning.<br/><br/>“It's best if you go find a bed,” he ordered, “last I checked they're setting up a field barracks on the other-side of the town square. Best of luck to you, comrade.”<br/><br/><b>Perm, Russia</b><br/><br/>If there was ever to be a reminder that he was between two worlds, there was the very infrastructure of the city of Perm itself to remind. Seemingly defiant in its pride despite the failing Russian state, the city of Perm clung tightly to the concept of it is to be Russian. So old in itself that the Imperial industrialism of Siberia had given way to the old and the traditional. Strong baroque blocks of homes shared the same blocks of street with the colorfully bright painted offices and administrative functions in distant and detached Russian Revivalism.<br/><br/>Though strained and dirtied the heavy block and brightly painted plasters and beams acted out to actively ignore the inequality in Russia, against the decaying Republic and the growing strength of the Mafiya. Between the crossroads of chaos in the east and chaos in the west a city had remained standing to benefit. How so, the Chinese agent couldn't name, or identify. Not on the surface of it.<br/><br/>Hanging above the city of speckled agelessness and modern industry the sun cut through spring-time clouds. Basking the city below in a warmth that melted on the roads. Teasing them and coaxing them to bake and shed the slush and the snow that had fallen this late into the year. Cobbled side-walks bubbled with run off that flowed gushing from rusty gutters. Potholes large enough to drown a tiger lined the roads, exploding in fans of water as trucks and cars careened haphazardly along their highways.<br/><br/>The streets buzzed with a hymn of life, if poor all the same. Though there was rust and trash in the gutter, the roads busted, there was not a nail more final that Jun was still in Russia than the street trolleys decorated in the vulgar graffiti of the post-tzardom. Heavy, scrawling, and so coated over the writing was illegible. And clutching to the darkening brass and reddening iron of hand rails rode the tired frail ghosts of the men that called themselves citizens still. Dark torn coats flapping at their ankles as sunken eyes starred distraught at the passing road beneath the street car as it shuddered and clapped along. The tired workmen unflinching as it bumped, breezing through the warm spring air.<br/><br/>Jun's interests in the city though did not extend to them, and he highly doubt they knew of the distribution network of the Mafiya so he may find his way to the top, and to hopefully take two birds with one stone. Or just as importantly: if there were any allies of use.<br/><br/>Looking down the narrow city street the immensity of Perm became more brilliantly apparent than it was outside the city in the hills, to see it as a hazy forest beyond the trees. Stretching and snapping over and between hills it flew like a skyward blanket, with the rising crowns of its buildings looming watchfully overhead. From somewhere swinging jazzy music played from an open window. More distantly there was yelling, cheering of children. The honking of horns and the sweeping wish-washing sigh of tires on wet pavement.<br/><br/>Despite the wetness, despite the crime, despite the molding whetted political posters and obscenities it was a living city. Perhaps a rarity.<br/><br/>Is feet were numb as he marched down the street, listening to the city as a whole. Behind him something had rolled up. He could hear the muted hum of an engine and the crackling of rubber long loose stones. It cut the uniformity of the city's aura. In disruption. Perhaps it was nothing. Bowing his head Jun continued, carrying himself as apathetically as the local Russians.<br/><br/>But the sound did not abate. It continued.<br/><br/>Shaoquan dared a sideways look. His heart went tense as he caught a corner glimpse of the beaten white fender of a rusted-over van trailing behind him, just on the edge between side-walk and road. The headlamps broken inward. The metal scratched and dented over triply from collision and ruin. The darkened windows shone the reflection of the sun.<br/><br/>Turning back to in front of him he kept the same pace. But he did not see the city, nor hear the city as it was anymore. The van behind him continued to keep its pace. He could hear the pop and crackle as it continued unabated over the refuse of a city. He could feel the hot rumbling of its motor. It was there. Tailing him. Too obviously. It wanted something.<br/><br/>As he rounded a corner, so did the stalker. Keeping up with Jun in spite of the curious eyes of the bystanders around them. The engine turned aggressively, rising from a low hum to a restrained growl. It picked up the pace, crawling up faster to him. There was a sigh, the noise of the window being lowered. The soft realization of music played into his ears as the vehicle pulled up alongside him. He looked to the corners of his eyes, watching expectantly as it pulled in closer to him, the window lowering. The silhouettes of masked men inside.<br/><br/>The faint shimmer of light on a gun barrel.<br/><br/>He threw himself to the ground just before he felt the hot spray of a shotgun blast carve along his back. He dove before its explosive report tore down the city street and torn from the side of the building alongside him a fist full of stone and concrete. Exploding outward as the heavy shot impacted and exploded against the stone.<br/><br/>“Don't be shit, kill the fuck!” someone roared in deep Russian as the report of the shotgun dissipated as he hit the ground. A frantic drumming filled his chest as he turned onto his back to see the door of the battered van swing open, a massive masked man swinging out on the door with a pump-action shotgun in hand.<br/><br/>With a crashing thump the Chinese agent planted both feet into the metal of the door's side, violently smashing it against the forehead of the man as he hung between sitting and leaning to the outside. With a roaring crash the frame cracked him in the head, throwing him back against the hull of the truck with a shudder. Flinching his fingers hit the trigger of the shotgun, a second report exploded in the city's silent air as he fell back. The gun kicked in his hands and fell loose. At once he struggled to grab his rogue weapon, and find purchase on the door.<br/><br/>Scrambling, Jun threw himself to his feet. Grinding his teeth as he lowered his head, the report of a pistol shattering through the windshield glass. He could feel the bullets pass over head as he sprinted down the side-walk. Dancing between shots and feeling the bullets pass too close. Trampling over garbage he swung himself into an alley between two homes, darting through the darkened and dirtied pathway as he fled.<br/><br/>But he heard the roar of the van. Enraged shouts echoed between the walls as a full steam roar charged along the road behind him. It screamed like a dragon. Bellowing like a lion. It was primal, hungry, and pissed. He was half-way through as he turned, seeing the rusting and flaking van slide down the road, dragging screaming tires along the pavement and breaking aggressively about to angle itself for an attack.<br/><br/>Jun felt the blood rush from his face as he realized what was happening. Without hesitation he turned on his ankles and broke into a full sprint through the alley. The van roared behind him and he heard the crashing of metal on stone, and metal on metal as it slammed itself into the narrow alleyway after Jun. Loud crashing pursued him as he ran. The drumming clanging of trashcans sang over his head as the determined vehicle barreled at him. Its screaming grew harder as it drew closer.<br/><br/>In this moment, Jun was terrified. Never mind being shot at, or stabbed. Dropped down cliffs and frozen bitterly in the heart of Russia. He had his lack of pills to ignore these ills. But there was nothing more absolute or more over all debilitating that being ran down.<br/><br/>He tumbled out from the alley and onto the street on the far side once again, reaching out for a startled woman and pulling her aside as he turned course. Throwing her as he rolled out of the way of a rocketing van that exploded out of the cavernous alley. Hot on his heels and peeling metal and sparks as it scrapped the stone of the twin buildings. Screaming in shock the woman threw herself to the side and hugging the porch of a town house and Jun continued his flight. Charging blindly for a square not far ahead, a rising white and domed church loomed just ahead.<br/><br/>The van was persistent, and regardless of the traffic it spun to the side, turning to find and face Jun once again. Oncoming traffic screamed and scattered as the persistent monster mounted their roads and turned to breath fire. In a full sprint down the side-walk Jun flew down the side of the street. The stripped-white van roared and spun its tires over the road as it ground down the road after him.<br/><br/>The roar of the engine neared on Jun. It was labored. But it was fast. Realizing it was gaining fast, Jun knew he had to act fast. Keeping forward, he came to run alongside a wall alongside the side-walk. It'd have to do to try something.<br/><br/>From the other corner of the building he saw two side doors swing wide open. He'd need to do it.<br/><br/>Jumping up he kicked off a stone in the wall and clambered up its face, reaching out for the top of the garden wall as below him another shotgun blast tore a crater into the stone, exploding in a plume of fire. The hot tongues licked at his feet as sticky flames bloomed under him and he threw himself over the top.<br/><br/>Jun landed with a hard oomph, collapsing in the tangled brambles of a a twisted bush. Even his sensation to pain muted, he could feel the dull throb of the thicker knots in its branches pressing into his sides and ribs as he rolled off the barren bush, pulling from the young twigs the sprouting new leaves of spring and falling into the greening grass.<br/><br/>On the other side of the wall he could hear the shotgun thunder as the motor sped ahead. Hurriedly, he pulled himself to his feet and ran to the other side. The distinctive choked blaring roar of the engine echoing in the near distance, and drawing near again as he ran to the far side of the urban yard. From somewhere near the house Jun heard a woman screamed distressed, “Oh God, the Chinese!”<br/><br/>He paid her no head as he threw himself on the far wall, and clambered up it. Pulling himself to the top he looked down the road. The same white van was charging his way again, having rounded the block. Forcing aside wayward traffic it half charged along the sidewalk, and half into the street. Leaning out the side door a beast of a man dressed in steel leaned out the side, combat shotgun cradled in a thickly armored hand to Jun's position.<br/><br/>Jun dropped down as a load of fire crashed along the top of the wall where he was. Splintering the stone and raining down watery spattering of watery fire and sharp concrete shards. Jun dropped to the grass, rolling back and tumbling onto his feet, tripping across the fire-poked yard. The van behind the wall crashed against the city traffic. Horns blared and metal crashed as Jun threw himself on the other far wall, throwing himself over the side and landing with a hard thud on the other side. Breaking back into a sprint he continued to run.<br/><br/>For the sound of chaos, it was expected the area would have cleared so fast. Gunfire and mad cars had the power to do that. Abandoned at the road, empty cars ran idle in the street has Jun ran dry-mouthed between them. He needed to find cover, or a funnel. In that way he may perhaps deal with the man in armor. He doubted his handgun could take him down at the ranges he wanted.<br/><br/>Stuck or lost, drawing his hunters into the church seemed like the better idea. It stood at the far side of an open park almost invitingly. But dark. There was something off about it. But Jun didn't have time to think about it. Weaving between cars he ran out onto the green. Making it between the trees it drew closer. He checked behind him to check his pursuers, only for in that moment to have the rush of fanning shrapnel scream by his face. The rush sounding like a rocket passing just alongside his face.<br/><br/>He ducked instinctively at the sound. Rolling behind the partial safety of a metal park bench littered with papers. Peering out behind he looked to see the hulking man in iron marching across the far corner of the square. The combat shotgun hugged to his chest as he loaded shells into the chamber. The barrel smoked cherry red hot. A small armory of others hung across his back like wings, and thick belts of fresh shotgun shells crossed in heavy X's across his chest. His face obscured with a replated and bolted welding mask. The dark visor shone in the afternoon sun as he loaded the last shell and shouldered his weapon to fire.<br/><br/>He ducked into a roll as the iron bench rang with the pounding sound of shotgun pellets raining against it, scattering the littered papers into an explosive ring of fire. Whipping around a tree he shot to his feet as another crippling blast from the shotgun tore a deep fleshy, wooden gauge from the tree's trunk and leaving a ring of fire in its wake, charring the rest.<br/><br/>Jun went back to sprinting. His legs kicking off the ground as he threw himself out of the way of trees and lamp posts. The explosive rush of the shotgun rang in his ears at each unplaced shot from his pursuer. He could hear someone swear behind him, but could not make out the words as he staggered up the stairs, feeling marble and concrete pepper his legs as he lunged for the heavy wooden door, throwing them open.<br/><br/>With a slam they shut behind him as he stepped into darkness.<br/><br/><b>Urals, Russia</b><br/><br/>The fire crackled alongside Ulanhu. The home given to him temporarily was small. But with Jun no longer sharing the same quarters there was more space to it. But not nearly enough to properly stretch out. In a way, he felt he had more room in his apartment in China.<br/><br/>But there was a luxury here his home did not have. The southern Urals moved slow. It was peaceful. His home in Hohhot was active, almost at every time of day. Even for one of many Chinese back-water cities there wasn't a moment the blare of horns, or the incessant reporting of the public loud speakers on the news did not break into. He had grown familiar to it, and was deaf to it. But being away from it he realized just how much it had filled his life with noise.<br/><br/>Here he had time to read books, shuffle through reports (predominately Russian). A radio in the corner gave a report on the progress in the east, on the war. Though it was considerably stinted to Russian favor, dramatizing the situation to create empathy. All the same, it was the most readily available source of information he had. He wondered if they truly had set ablaze to Omsk by now.<br/><br/>Near by it the more conspicuous military radio sat silent. It was on, but there was no activity on the channel. A channel shared by he and Jun, and the regular recon aircraft that flew out this way, specifically to collect short field briefings. The last of such aircraft had passed nearby only a few short days ago, and it wouldn't be for a week more another would fly by. But the regularity would no doubt become questionable with war in the east.<br/><br/>Still though, he had not heard anything of Jun in too long. He wondered for him. Not worried: he knew he was a capable person. It was just a matter of why he wasn't reporting in. Surely he couldn't have gone so far he'd be out of range so far?<br/><br/>Never the matter, it was a waiting game. The anxiety would need to be bottled for now. A calm veneer kept as to not grow insane with cabin fever. The winter snow had lifted and the Russian countryside was experience a spring rebirth.<br/><br/>There was a crack on the radio. Ulanhu stopped his reading, looking up at the radio tucked in the corner of the tiny wooden kitchen counter. The needle on its face jumped as a light squealed popped and faded. Ulanhu furrowed his brow. What was this about? Was this a mechanical failure with the ECGs?<br/><br/>It popped again, there was static. Something that sounded like speech.<br/><br/>Ulanhu's heart jumped in his chest and he shot up from his seat. The chair falling to the ground as he pushed himself hastily around the corner of the table, dashing to the radio. Grabbing the palm-sized receiver he rose it to his mouth. “Hello. Come in? Over.” he said.<br/><br/>There was a watery grumble from the other side. Someone was playing with it. “You don't need to play with the squeal. It should have been alright when you set out. Over.” Ulanhu said testily.<br/><br/>“Who?” a voice said grumbling on the other side. The voice was heavy. Deep. It was cut, like scars in the throat. Unfamiliar.<br/><br/>“Jun?” Ulanhu stammered foolishly.<br/><br/>“Jun?” the other end said, “Not Jun. Hell.”<br/><br/>“W-wait what?” Ulanhu nearly shouted into the receiver, “Who the fuck is this? Speak up!”<br/><br/>“Nightmare.” the voice said. It sounded like it was smiling.<br/><br/>“How did you get this frequency?” Ulanhu demanded.<br/><br/>“No need to know.” the response said, “All need know is: we found you.”<br/><br/>“<i>Tilli tilli bom.</i>” chirped in someone else.<br/><br/>“No, I demand. Who are you!?” Jun demanded into the receiver. His palm shook and sweat beaded on his brow. His voice rattled in his throat. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all.<br/><br/>No response came."
22050,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-01 23:55:00,Maxxorlord,"<b> Aboard the HMAS Canberra </b><br/><br/>Mark Chapman carelessly dropped his tray down onto the surface of the metal table, slipping his legs over the bench and taking a seat. It had been years since he ate in a proper mess hall. The Governor-General let his eyes wander around the eatery. There were three rows of three long tables set up, each table having a bench on each side. The room was filled to capacity by the part of the crew that was currently on lunch break. On each side of Mark sat his family: His mother and two daughters on his left, and his son on the right. His daughters, Mary and Natalia, ages thirteen and fifteen respectfully, were practically twins; They were both the blonde haired blue eyed types. Mary was five foot nine, and Natalia was three feet shorter than her younger sister. The two were chatting away about the latest Australian actor to hit the big screen. Mark loved his daughters dearly, but they resented him; especially Natalia. You see, Mark had never spent too much time with his daughters while they were growing up. He had dedicated his life to serving his country, and thus rarely spent time with his family. Mark’s wife, Laura, was in her forties. She looked like an older version of Natalia. She was currently enthralled in learning the story of Ensign Bart Lenko, who was seated across from her. She loved Mark, even if he had missed a fair number of birthdays and anniversaries while he was off fighting the good fight. Mark kept promising himself he’d make it all up somehow. He’d yet to think of a way to fulfill that promise.<br/><br/>Then there was Mark’s son, Jack. He was like the rest of the family: no, he was very different. For starters, Jack wasn’t native to Australia. Mark and Laura had adopted Jack three years ago. Jack had been born in Ethiopia, but his parents had moved to Australia when Jack was only a few weeks old. They had both died of unknown diseases a month after their arrival. Jack was put into an orphanage, where he stayed until he was five. Now, at the age of eight, Jack sat with the rest of the Chapman’s eating mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken, and green beans. Jack had dark skin and brown eyes, and an unending fountain of love for the rest of his family. In Mary’s case, however, the feeling was not mutual. She held contempt to the little adopted boy for taking her spot as ‘daddy’s favorite.’ Mark loved little Jack like he was his own flesh and blood. Even more so, if you were to ask Mary for her opinion (which nobody ever did, mind you.)<br/><br/>Mark turned and looked at Jack, a smile appearing on Jack’s face as he noticed his father looking at him.”Hey dad?” The boy asked between mouthfuls of mashed potatoes.”Yeah, Jack?” Mark returned, curious as to what Jack might want.”Can you take me to see the drivey-thingie they use to fly the boat?” Jack asked, literally bouncing on the bench.”Firstly, son, it’s called the helm; and you sail a boat, you don’t fly. Lastly, this isn’t a boat, it’s a ship.” Mark corrected with a chuckle.”Whatever, dad! Can we see the ‘helm’ then?” Jack asked impatiently.”Of course we can, son. I’ll take you up there right after lunch is over.” At this, Jack gave a little cheer.”Thanks, dad! You’re the bestest-” Laura gave Jack a sidelong glance, and he stopped mid-sentence.”The best.” He corrected himself with a moan. Natalia giggled, and Mary was obviously suppressing a laugh with all of her might. Mark stuffed his face full of chicken as the girls went back to talking.<br/><br/>Across the room, Captain Anthony Martin sat with a group of his fellow Marines. They were eating the same meal as the Chapmans were; except, they weren’t nearly as happy. A group of navy dogs across the room kept giving Martin and his men dirty looks. The worst part, in Anthony’s eyes, was that the Seamen’s commanding officers were encouraging them to be hostile. Antis glared down at his chicken, the anger plain on his face.”Lemme pop one of ‘em in the mouth, cap.” He said with a growl.”Easy now, mate. This is their ship: we can’t go starting fights around here. We’ll get trampled.” Martin said, his voice calm despite his own rising anger. Who’d these sea whores think they were? Martin’s Marines could rip ‘em a new one if they really wanted to. Private Wilson glanced back behind himself, and was greeted with a middle finger by one of the Navy’s men.<br/><br/>”That’s it, to hell with this!” Wilson shouted, standing up and stomping towards the assortment of Navy dogs. Wilson was a lean, African fellow with a barely regulation afro growing on top of his head. Thompson and Harris jumped up right after Wilson and stood to each side of him. Only Antis and Martin remained seated as the Navy boys stood up as well.”What do you want, mudslogger?” One of the Navy boy’s, an Ensign, sneered.”I want your teeth, bro!” Wilson yelled before popping the Ensign in the mouth. A pair of yellowing teeth flew out of the Ensign’s mouth, and Wilson’s desire was fulfilled. The other Seamen at the table gasped: apparently, they weren’t used to retaliation.”Get that ni-” One of the Seamen started to yell, before he found himself being tackled to the ground by Thompson.”Oi, nobody talks to Wilson like that!” He said, before mounting the Seaman and beating his face to a pulp. The Seamen reacted, two of them jumping at Wilson, one at Harris, and another went to help their friend being pinned by Thompson. Harris, being a broad shouldered and stone-chested soldier, was able to beat the Seaman who foolishly tried to grapple with him rather easily. Thompson was rolling around on the ground with one of the men, and seemed to be holding his own well enough. Wilson was the only one in a bad way, as one of the Seaman held Wilson in place, while the disfigured Ensign beat the defenseless Marine’s stomach with repeated blows.<br/><br/>“Enough, before I have you all court marshalled!” A loud and commanding voice called. The brawl ceased as everyone who was watching the fight turned to look at the Governor-General, who was striding over towards the military men mid-squabble. He was quite obviously angry at the lot of them.”You call yourselves soldiers? Mates, I’ve seen more restrain from convicts!” Mark barked, and the military men quickly lined up. Shame was present on the Navy men’s faces, although the Marines looked offended.”Permission to speak freely,sir?” Captain Lee spoke, standing alongside Antis.”Let me guess: you’re going to tell me these Seamen were ruffling your boys’ feathers, and they retaliated with violence. Am I correct, Captain?” Chapman asked, turning to look at the Captain.”Yes, sir.” Martin replied, his face empty of emotion.”Now, it’s been awhile since I was in the Marines, so I don’t remember exactly what the punishment for fighting is. But rest assured, the captain will hear about this. I’m honestly ashamed of this disgraceful behavior. For God’s sakes, there are children in the room!” Mark barked. At this, the Marines lowered their heads, joining the Navy men in their shame.”Go back to eating, but if I see anything like this again, I really<i> will </i>have you all court marshalled. Dismissed!”<br/><br/>Mark returned to his seat and sighed. He brought his hands up to his face and rubbed his eyes. Laura put a hand on her husband’s back, and rubbed it soothingly.”Nice job, hun. You haven’t lost your touch.” She whispered quietly. Enisgn Lenko coughed.”I apologize for their actions, sir.” He said.”We aren’t all that bad, honest.” Laura gave the man a reassuring smile.”Of course not, Mark would never assume something like that.”Yeah, right.” Chapman muttered sarcastically into his hands. Luckily, Lenko didn’t hear. Unluckily, Laura did. Mark was met with an elbow to the ribcage.”Ow!” Mark looked up at his wife, scowling. Laura returned the scowl, and the children watched in anticipation. The little spat was disrupted when a man wearing blue combat fatigues jogged up behind Mark.”Sir, the captain would like to inform you that we are nearing London. We should be in British-controlled waters tomorrow, sir.” Mark gave the man a curt nod.”Thank you, Lieutenant. Inform the captain that I will be coming to the helm later to...discuss, something.” The Lieutenant nodded and jogged off.<br/><br/>Finally, they were almost there. The restoration of the British Empire was a handful of knots away."

Julio Zuraban groaned, his voice rasping from want of water. He couldn't remember the last time he had been fed. A bruised and cut face once swollen and puffy had shrunk around his cheekbones. Another week without food, without so much as a glass of water, he would be dead.<br/><br/>He couldn't wait.<br/><br/>""Your resume has a three-year hole since your departure, Senator Zuraban."" The ever-smug interrogator, that torturous bastard, reminded, preparing another cocktail of truth serum at his desk in the corner of this 5x6 meter dungeon. A syringe needled pierced the membrane cap of a thimble-sized vial of cloudy white liquid, mixing with the other components within the syringe in a milky cloud as the interrogator drew the plunger up. ""I need you to fill that if you'd ever like to leave.""<br/><br/>Julio knew full well that he would never leave this place; not alive. His first reaction was irritation, he was in fact aggravated that the interrogator could say something so blatantly false to him. Even after half of a dozen mind-burning administrations of truth serum to his spinal column, he still found that such an obvious lie could sting almost as much as the injections.There was no question that Julio would die in this place; no one who had seen the monstrous things carried out within the walls the Institute of Arratzu could ever be allowed to live. Why could they not admit that to him? Why could they not simply give Julio the closure that his days in this office, strapped to this horrible seat bolted unto the cold concrete below, would be his final days?<br/><br/>Perhaps this was all part of the punishment: a more subtle castigation than the needle and the fire in his mind - a calculated torment that was so perfectly executed. Or perhaps also that Julio's interrogator was, in a certain respect, being truthful - merciful even. If Julio could tell them what his interrogator wanted to know, he could be free. Free from Arratzu, anyway. And after all he had suffered in this place, it mattered not whether he escaped this place in life or death.<br/><br/>""I left Spain by ship from Alicante on the night of August 12th, 1977. I arrived at Bandar Abbas in Persia on the 2nd of September that year. My compatriot was Claude Lemaire. I was Erzurum in April of 1979. The African was Samel...""<br/><br/>""I know. You have told me all this many, many times."" The interrogator handed the syringe over to his associate to inspect as he approached the seat to which Julio was strapped. ""You have told me the same story time and time again, each time without inconsistency. I see no reason to doubt the veracity of your testimony.""<br/><br/>""Then you know I have committed no crime against the Republic. I have<i>never</i>colluded with communists.""<br/><br/>An unfounded fear, I can see now after extensive questioning... but you are hardly innocent. You're an enemy of the state now, Senator. I have no other option than to dispose of you.""<br/><br/>""Then do it."" Julio snarled with grim purpose. ""Kill me, and let me be rid of this place.""<br/><br/>""That comes later."" The interrogator denied, refusing Julio even the respite of death, accepting the syringe back from his assistant and twirling the needle-tipped vial in his fingers. ""I have one more battery of questioning for you. One more administration.""<br/><br/>""What for?!"" Julio contested, suddenly bolting upright in his seat against the restraints. ""You told me yourself! That I have told you everything! I am nothing but a waste of resources! Kill me, damn you!"" He struggled against the bindings holding him down into his seat with what little strength was left in him. On the padded strap pulling against his forehead and holding his nape into the headrest, Julio felt a looseness. The strap was by some means unfastened. He could feel it giving slightly against the tugging of his neck. Each strain against the leather band loosened its grip. Slowly but surely the band was coming loose.<br/><br/>""This last questioning is simply to iron out any discrepancies among each of your testimonies. Today will be devoted to completing the official statement for the Oficina, and after that, we will be finished here."" The interrogator's eyes flitted across the room, to his partner who had gone ahead and begun preparing the antidote injection - the follow-up drug that kept the truth serum from destroying Julio's mind after each interrogation.<br/><br/>""No need for that."" The interrogator called out, interrupting him. ""No antidote this time. This one's going to Doctor Guijon as well."" Julio's struggling intensified.<br/><br/>""What's wrong, Senator? You said yourself that you did not wish to be a waste of resources, did you not? If we don't need you for further questioning, why then would I waste a vial of the antidote on you?""<br/><br/>""Don't listen to him!"" Julio pleaded to the assistant. ""Prepare an antidote!"" The interrogator shot his assistant a dismissive shake of the head, as if to tell him to ignore the whining of a spoiled child.<br/><br/>Julio's struggling against the seat, making it clatter and jingle. The seat's base bounced against the bolts holding it down into the concrete, clashing and banging with each jerky motion Julio made. The interrogator sighed at his indignance, and then made his way around to the back of the chair to inject serum into Julio's neck one last time.<br/><br/>As the he approached, Julio pushed with all his might against the loosened band against his head. With the most satisfying sensation of loosening, the band gave way under the force of Julio's head. As soon as he felt his head was free, he craned his neck over to his side and swung his face at the interrogator's arm. Instinct guided is open mouth onto his tormentor.<br/><br/>With a soft, popping sound, Julio's teeth found their mark on the interrogator's left hand squarely under his pinky finger. The interrogator wailed in anguish as Julio's teeth sunk deeper and deeper into the flesh of his hand, the syringe in his hand fell upon the floor. A salty, metallic bitterness flooded Julio's mouth as his dry mouth was rinsed with the interrogator's blood. Determination and anger kept his jaw clamped down upon his hand, even as the blood trickled down into his throat.<br/><br/>The interrogator yanked against Julio's head, but every tug severed bands of tendon and muscle, all of which burned in sharp pain. Julio's canines cut down into his interrogator's carpals, grinding down against the very bone, even as heat beat against Julio's face with his free arm in a desperate bid to free himself. With his jaw locked down on his hand, Julio tugged against the interrogator's hand and threw the rest of his body weight toward him. The chair's bolts strained under the duress before finally slipping out of the concrete. The assistant, thoroughly horrified, watched dopily as the interrogation chair leaned over and fell amidst the struggle. Julio lost his vicelike grip on the interrogator's hand as he fell with the chair, thoroughly mangling the interrogator's hand as he went down. The headrest of the chair collapsed on top of the syringe vial, pulverizing the glass and spraying the hateful truth serum all about the floor in a small puddle mixed with glass shards. The interrogator fell against the cinderblock wall, sliding down as he stared down wide-eyed at the blood-soaked mess that was his left hand.<br/><br/>A pair of guards dressed in hermetic rubber suits and gas masks barged through the door and bore witness to the interrogation-gone-awry. Before asking any questions, they bore down upon Julio, blood dripping from his lips, with their cattleprods. It was Julio's turn now to be agonized.<br/><br/>""Get him on the bus!"" The interrogator shrieked hysterically. ""Get him on the bus with the other refuse! Do not let him die! I want him cognizant when Guijon has his way with him!""<br/><br/><b>Port Said, Egypt</b><br/><br/>A warbling rumble thundered through the bridge of<i>La Ira de Dios</i>as the propellers of two Halcon fighters buzzed past the Spanish flagship. They displayed their undersides, before soaring back up into the haze of smoke and dust above the twin ports at the mouth of the Suez. Aside from the funnel-esque intake on their undercarriages, their undersides were bare; no ordinance to slow them down in their reconnaissance sorties over the canal. Their first flights had brought good news to Admiral Santin's ears: the Ethiopian formations were largely retreating in the face of the Spanish bombardment.<br/><br/>But their good news was soon overshadowed by less fortunate tidings from the battle. Blasts muffled by sheer distance rang across the water from within the city. It could only be the<i>Aksum</i>, returning fire upon the Spanish attackers at last. Santin could not see where the shells landed, even as he scanned across his fleet with a pair of binoculars. But as he searched for the telltale geysers of vaporized water racing skyward, the Spanish admiral witnessed something that could put the entire invasion in jeopardy. Plumes of dust burst forth from buildings on the shore of the canal as a rain of crumbling concrete and debris splashed down into the canal.<br/><br/>The Ethiopians were going to seal off the canal.<br/><br/>""Carajo!"" Santin spat, smashing his binoculars down upon his console. Anemic though the Ethiopian defenders were, they were perhaps more clever than Admiral Santin had given them credit for. They were goading him into their trap, he was certain. The Ethiopians wanted nothing more than for a number of cruisers to storm the mouth of the canal, where they would no doubt fall victim to some trap they had laid for the Spaniards. Unwarranted haste had doomed the Spanish twice this century - one mistake that ended the monarchy at Coquihatville, and another that nearly ended his own life at Helsinki. Santin would not permit another debacle here in the Suez, not when he had other options at his disposal...<br/><br/>""Grijalba, put me in contact with General Ponferrada, at once.""<br/><br/>""Immediately,<i>almirante</i>."" The ensign acknowledged, immediately busying himself with the radio console to reach the general's ship.<br/><br/>Santin could do naught but grimace as a second round of explosions dumped ever more debris into the harbor. Every ton of debris that fell into the canal threatened to halt the Spanish advance. It would take but one errant hunk of metal scrap or concrete to block the entire fleet from passing through. Salvage divers with specialized equipment would have a to be procured from Spain to clear the canal again, and that would take days, weeks perhaps. It would give the Chinese time to mobilize and come to Yaqob's rescue. The<i>Aksum</i>threatened to foil Sotelo's plan for Africa. It had to be destroyed.<br/><br/>""<i>Almirante</i>, I have the General on the line."" The communications officer reported, his hand cupped over the phone's mouthpiece. Wordlessly, Santin took the phone.<br/><br/>""General, do you see what has happened in the canal?"" Santin asked, foregoing any sense of pageantry and decorum expected of high-ranking officers meeting with one another.<br/><br/>//I have. I heard the Ethiopian vessel open fire.//<br/><br/>""That, and they are imploding a number of buildings into the canal. They intend to render the waterway impassible for our fleet, and I fear that if I were to mobilize an assault against the mouth of the canal, they would spring a trap or otherwise hasten their efforts to scuttle the canal.""<br/><br/>//I see.//<br/><br/>""The<i>Aksum</i>must be neutralized if we are to proceed, and I know of only one option at our disposal to do such a thing.""<br/><br/>//I understand. Let me get into contact with Madrid and relay our situation to General Velasquez. The Ejercito should be able to prepare a task force and provide insertion by 20:00 local time.//<br/><br/>""The Cazadores, I trust?""<br/><br/>//Yes. They would be the only ones qualified for such an endeavor.//<br/><br/>""Perfect."""

In through the mouth of the cavernous interior of the small chapel. Thin ribbons of sunlight crawled out between the shut doors and along the floor, illuminating thick clouds of dust that floated in the air in thick motes. The sun of gunfire continued to rage outside. But felt more random and untargeted.<br/><br/>“Cut it, he's already dead.” a voice yelled from outside. There was a silent pause, the roar of the shotgun quieting. Distant warbling sirens and alarms rose and fell in the new found peace.<br/><br/>“Should we post a watch?” another asked, hushed.<br/><br/>“No. We need to leave before the police arrive. Let<i>Otluchen</i>deal with him.”<br/><br/>There was a resigned silence of agreement from how ever many there were outside. If it had been the tank with the shotgun that was speaking or someone else was beyond the Chinese Agent. Feet spread apart, he stood a hand at the pommel of his sword. He expected them to follow.<br/><br/>There were no new words spoken. And there were no footsteps towards the door. Jun held his position, painting heavily as he waited. He had been sure they would have given chase. But they did not. His shoulder relaxed as a feeling of perplexion dawned over him. He had evaded them, and they were too afraid to enter. They knew where he was, but didn't seek to catch him.<br/><br/>Slowly, he lowered his hand from his weapon. His widened stance relaxed. He patted himself down, searching for any injuries he couldn't otherwise feel. He sighed with relief, finding none.<br/><br/>The police – according to his pursuers – were no doubt coming. And if the sirens were any indication they were finding their way in on the location. How long it would take was anyone's guess, complicated possibly by the enormity of damage caused on the streets of Perm. Congested traffic and other mess would delay the official police response as they sought a way to move around. But it wouldn't be complicated for them, and would buy Jun only a few minutes.<br/><br/>All the same, he couldn't go out the way he came. The gunmen might still be close enough to notice, and witnesses seeing him leave would reignite the chase. Knowing that they were onto the agent greatly reduced the odds out of his favor. It was a scary, unnerving thought to say the least. He'd have to readjust to find the people he needs to kill.<br/><br/>But for now, time to lie low. If they were too scarred to enter then no one else would follow any time soon. At best simply pretend, possibly. He could lie in the church, or take the time to find a backdoor and leave in the cover of courtyards and alleys.<br/><br/>He sighed confidently, loosening his posture. Turning to face the interior of the dark church.<br/><br/>Beyond the entrance the entire building was a cavernous, hallow shell darkened deep into its self. From boarded windows or minute cracks in the ceiling thin ribbons of light fell through, illuminating the dust and dirt that came to cover every surface of the inside. Highlighting on the ground a cascading mess of refuse and debris. Heaps of discarded rags littered the dark floor where the light fell and loose electrical cables hung cut and undisturbed from the rafters above. It was a hell of a mess in all, cracked and chipping. Peeling back against the wood and the structure itself.<br/><br/>Someone had been inside as well, pock-marking the walls with explosive holes and rifle-inflicted gauges in the plaster and marble. Crude graffiti had been painted over the white walls only to have been partially scorched off. Jun ran his fingers along the walls as he walked out into the main central hall. The plaster drywall cracking dryly as he went and crumbling into earthen dust as he dragged his nails across their damaged surface. How many had once been here? And how many of them had left when the Empire died? Or how many were slain in the chaos?<br/><br/>The floor boards creaked heavily under his feet as he stepped into the thick soupy shadows. His lungs itched at the thick dust he breathed in. Coughing dryly he heard something that sounded like rustling deeper in the building. Rats perhaps. Or bats higher above. There was a crude animalism to the way the noises moved and pecked across the wood.<br/><br/>Up ahead he could hear something heavy move. Plodding almost. A sense of unease crawled up inside of him and his hand crept down his side to his weapon. His heart beat hard in his chest as the wind of danger rolled up inside of him. His fingers wrapped around the handle of the blade at his side.<br/><br/>“Another puppet enters my den.” a voice said aloud in the church, echoing off the dusty rafters, the cavernous dusty ceiling. Echoing sharp and clear and become like it was calling from all directions. Jun spun swiftly on his heels as he thought it was coming from his side, drawing the silver metal of his dao ready to take on whoever had spoken. Only to moments later turn as the echo of the speaker's last words came from the other direction.<br/><br/>“And a man from the orient, no less.” the voice spoke again, crooning. It sounded dry and raspy. Smoky and low. It sounded choked and tired, but still filled with mental sharpness and swiftness. “I think I have heard of such a man creeping-crawling about Russiya. Sneaking about the countryside like a little spider.<br/><br/>“But not his own spider. Someone else's. You're another puppet. Where's your master? Not in Beijing.”<br/><br/>Jun turned, looking for the owner of the voice. But he only saw into the thick shadows. The words were spoken and echoed from all over the inside of the church. His heart raced with panic as he searched and prepared for something. He hoped whoever it was would pull back the bolt of a rifle, or flip the safety off any other gun. Then might he hear the sound and find where the speaker was hiding. If he could hear it over his loud omnipresent voice.<br/><br/>“I want to know, do you know what game you're playing?” said the voice in a prying tone. It picked and gauged. Not unlike an interrogator. “He came so far, to find himself a bigger spider's net. But will this spider be permitted to devour him?<br/><br/>“Not unless he moves. Then he might find himself more than caught.” the voice said, cracking to impatient anger.<br/><br/>Jun looked excitedly about. Fearfully searching for what it was the voice was implying. His eyes darted and crawled along every surface he could find. Across the black shadows, and the soft blue and yellow highlights of weak streams of light. Looking down to his feet, finding only garbage. Were there mines? Trip wires?<br/><br/>“He doesn't speak. I wonder if I have asked the right questions.” the voice said puzzled. There was a sluggish dragging from nearby, overhead. A dry bony rasping against dry wood. He looked up to the balcony just ahead of him. Not high off the ground. Rising from behind its walls, peeling with paint rose a lumbering limp figure. What looked like a man, with a head craned to one side.<br/><br/>“I wonder if he looks to look upon the eyes of God.”<br/><br/>“Who are you?” Jun finally said, hissing between clenched teeth as he still anxiously searched for the man. Or what he had implied was holding him in place.<br/><br/>“One who has seen the truth behind the actions.” he said, “I have foresaken my name, but not my information; for I must know. I am one who lost all, but retain his skill and the horror from these years of anarchy. In a past life I was hunted and scorned, sought to be snuffed out. But instead I was left to long sordid meditation as I waited for death; such things have a way for making such men think about life and the higher causes.<br/><br/>“And by chance, or some greater master's will: I was free.<br/><br/>“Who I am truly is a long story told in the third person. What I am now is the better answer. I am the enlightened. The revealed to. I achieved understanding over my brothers, and killed them all. I am, to the men who were just outside,<i>Otluchen</i>.<i>Zài qūzhú</i>in your language; The Excommunicated.”<br/><br/>“What does that mean then? Mafiya?” Jun demanded, affixed on the shadowy figure that hung above him, leaning over the raised pulpit like a limp doll.<br/><br/>“<i>Was</i>Mafiya.” Otluchen sneered, there was almost the sound of a grimace in his voice, “That was when I was Petyr Ostolvod. He is a dead man now. Drowned out by the realization of the true identity. One he came to know and be devoured by through the years. It is almost funny, he was scheduled to die not but two years before he passed away and made way for myself.<br/><br/>“I can dissect you. Not without tools or surgical implements. No EKG or anesthesia. I don't even need to kill you to see into you. I know all I need to know to piece it together. You're another hit-man. An assassin. Fortunately for me, I doubt my name was on any list. All the same, by association, would you kill me?”<br/><br/>Jun took deep angered breaths. He stood haunched and ready. If anything seemed off, he would need to defy his demands and move. It was the best chance he had. “What if I said 'yes'?” he asked.<br/><br/>“It would not matter. If I die to you it's because of a higher player than I willed it. Do you know free will?”<br/><br/>Jun was silent on the matter.<br/><br/>“I will assume you do. Or you think you do.” sneered the speaker, “Petyr once spent some time in America. There he attended a conference on liberty. During which an oriental such as yourself pleaded the Chinese knew not of liberty or the force of freely thinking. He doubted he was telling the truth to himself, feeling he was speaking it as someone's token to validate their point. But thinking back on Petyr now, I suspect he was right. The Chinese indeed have not changed their styles from anything more free from what they had before, and follow the beck and call of a new master-slave. From one Jurchen to the next.<br/><br/>“No, thinking back I doubt they know freedom and liberty like we in Russia knew, or in America. Or in Europe. But then, they weren't any closer, but closer than the Chinese all the same. Closer than the Africans. Closer than the Arabs, but they themselves had a closer understanding of what was, while the west and Russia tried to throw off the shackles of being the old society. The Ottoman Empire and Persia over knew – or once knew – the realization of the ultimate relationship between people and to the Higher One.”<br/><br/>“Higher one?” Jun asked. He was willing to humor him, if it gave him a few more minutes.<br/><br/>“There is a distinct relationship between one man to another on how to do his part and to be a part of the whole.” Otluchen monologued. His voice slowly finding one source as the figure over the pulpit rose higher. “Peasent would serve to lord who would serve his Empire. And we thought the line would end there. Sometimes they'd near closer to being correct by claiming divine guidance from God. But then the chain stops there.<br/><br/>“Do you think God controls everything in this world? No, he's just another intermediary controlling the things we understand. But beyond that and into theory? The somehow bizzare and unpredictable way man acts even, from top to bottom? Would God have willed for the Great War to go on for as long as it did and to rape his creation so easily?<br/><br/>“What about the retreat of the Spanish from Helsinki? The rise of China from a backwater state to what it is now, even if it is a red cancerous blemish that should be purged much like the self-proclaimed Republic of Spain?<br/><br/>“One evil or hypocrite to another. Truth prevails over all and all liars will eventually die. Those who admit to the truth will live long and happily, or die knowing well that they served the master to the last word of his final dramatic act. A stage show. This is all a stage show. Put on by the benefit of not one, but several. And who knows how many lives they torture for their own amusement, granting power to some individuals arbitrarily.<br/><br/>“But even I know that beyond them there must be something greater. Well beyond my scope in knowing, or yours, or anyone's.”<br/><br/>The figure over the raised pulpit finally worked over the wooden rails. Swaying wildly from the toying of gravity as it floated down to Jun like a specter, hanging limp like a hangman. As it drew closer the features on its person became clearer. The rich embroidering of its robes. The long tangled mane that was a beard and the twisted white locks of hair. A stretched gaunt face with empty sockets, casting shadows across themselves. Then the wide opened mouth, like a ghost screaming.<br/><br/>Otluchen's voice sounded stronger from it. “In knowing this, thinking this, and expressing myself Petyr distanced himself from the man who titles himself God. His followers grew frightened. Though Petyr inspired his own followers. He stood ideologically opposed. But at the same time, though conflicting, he knew that this stance was necessary for existence. For it is the dramatic dichotomy that drives the Higher One's theater. Do you know who's watching you, orient? Who is applauding for your successes, or against you in your defeats?”<br/><br/>Jun was speechless for a response. He watched in shuddering disgust as the corpse of the priest lowered itself down to Jun. Hanging within conversational distance from him. The shadows in his eyes lifted to reveal empty putrid sockets. His flesh was a gaunt leathery green. And in his gaping maw was a speaker.<br/><br/>“It is understandable to not be able to answer. For we may not be able to identify these actors in our own life.” Otluchen continued, “We may need to die to meet them. Or even in death we won't, because we'll simply cease to exist. Or perhaps we'll be reincarnated, unaware of the stories we once defined.<br/><br/>“When Petyr concluded this, he died. He empties his shell and I came in and took his place. As I do the shells of so many former persons that litter this room.<br/><br/>“I would not look, some are deadly,<i>tovorich</i>.”<br/><br/>Jun stared stunned into the face of the dead man that hung before him. Looking up he saw the faint glimmer of thin cables. “Do not worry about those. They are theater.” the corpse-priest laughed, “You have given me pittance enough to talk. I will not worry. But I still must know, are you here to kill me? Or do you want to see through your cause and the following acts of your life?”<br/><br/>Gobsmacked, Jun stared on at the cables above and the looming dead priest before him. He didn't know however long the body had been dead. But before him it smelled fresh as ever. Bitter, it dug into his tongue and his breaths through his mouth brought in a stifling sour taste. “I don't suppose I would have the chance.” he said, looking around. In the darkness of the interior there could be many places he hid. And he could clearly see him. He was in the cross hairs of a target he could not find. And it knew it.<br/><br/>“I will let you in on some truths.” Otluchen said, “Here in Perm, you have no allies. I am still in the game to play politics among my old brothers. They excluded me, but the fear me too much to remove me. I am unable to move freely – if by choice – but I keep a radio. It is how I know you were coming and that I have a rough idea on who it is destined to die.<br/><br/>“A man like you will need information to carry on. And I have such information. But I'll pass it on under the pretense you kill someone for me, or some persons. Do we understand?”<br/><br/>“I... do...” Jun said unsure. He didn't feel at ease assisting a criminal, one that was a member of or associate to the group he was tasked to destroy to his best abilities. But he already knew his cards, he had no choice.<br/><br/>“Excellent. What do you know of the Angles of Death?” Otluchen asked.<br/><br/>“They sound familiar.”<br/><br/>“They are the personal hitmen of Bog. His physical muscle in this world. One resides here and practices out of here. He goes by the name of Gabriel.<br/><br/>“Kill him and bring me his head so I may appraise it and cheer for being on the right side of the directors and the writers of the universe. Then I will reveal to you the information you seek, and fill you on more.”<br/><br/>“Just for killing this man?” asked Jun.<br/><br/>“It won't be easy.” Otluchen sneered, “And he has company from a wraith.”"

His young face was eager and expectant, his ill fitting uniform slightly to small for his muscular frame, the buttons on his chest straining again the threadbare fabric. The shoulder flag was hastily sown on, the ""109"" not quite covering the older unit designation. Beneath it, small enough to cause barely a glance was a flag, half Spain, half Argentina. Over them both, curving with the edge of the uniforms shoulder were the words<i>Brigada Internacional</i>.<br/><br/>He clutched an FE-74 assualt rifle in his right hand, the only modern gift from his Spanish employers and he supposed he ought to be grateful for it. It was clean, reliable, and like the rest of the men in his platoon, it came with one hundred rounds of ammunition, six grenades, and a six inch bayonet. A helmet was hung at his waist, an Argentine style beret was perched rakishly on his black hair, it was the only item other than the flag that gave any indication as to his place of birth.<br/><br/>The men around him, over 600 crammed into a vessel meant for half the number, were similarly clothed, there the similarities ended. They were from all over the former Spanish Empire, South America, the United States, parts of southeast Asia and north Africa, a veritable mass drawn together by a common language and desire for adventure under the flag of their former colonial master. The majority, like Francisco, were from Argentina.<br/><br/>To a boy from the farms of Mendoza it was the strangest sight he had ever seen as he looked over his shipmates. The majority of the younger Latins, like himself, were pressed up against the railings cheering every Spanish wheel strike. Behind them, in a small cleared patch of neck space, a group of black Moroccan soldiers were kneeling in prayer and murmuring in Arabic, a language he did not understand. He had made friends with one of them on the voyage, another massive youth like himself who was as broad in the shoulders and an inch taller, he went by the name of Mohammad Hassan and little did Francisco know, but their fates would be intertwined for years to come. He caught Francisco's eye as he bowed for another prayer and winked briefly at his Argentine comrade.<br/><br/>""Ready to go ashore!"" The shout rippled through the massed soldiers all of a sudden and Francisco looked down in surprise to see that the landing craft they had brought along had been lowered into the water. Sailors shouldered past the soldiers to drape long rope ladders down into the boats even as the battalions Spanish officers shouted at their men to grab their packs. It seemed that the battalion was being sent in to relieve the pressure on the Marines aboard the warships by driving the Ethiopian and Egyptian land forces away from the Canal.<br/><br/>Francisco pushed his way through the throngs of soldiers to his “bunk”, a patch of deck that he had claimed as his own the minute he set foot on the ship. Many of the other men had claimed bunks below but Francisco had never liked cramped spaces and it turned out he’d made a wide choice, the lower decks had quickly become awash in vomit, sea water, and diesel fumes from the aged tankers engine room.<br/><br/>He rolled up his small bedroll and strapped it to the top of his pack before hoisting it onto his back. Mohammad had been camped next to him and though they had initially avoided each other they quickly began to talk at night. Many of the white Spanish soldiers considered the non-whites sub-human and wouldn’t even give them the time of day, much less speak to them. Francisco, coming from the Mendoza wine region of Argentina, had met many non-whites on the big vineyards and worked alongside more than a few he considered his equal, and in some cases his superior in feats of strength and intelligence.<br/><br/>“Delgado, stop gopping and get in the fucking boat!” The platoon Sergeant, a burly Spaniard from somewhere in Galicia, was waving his troops down the ropes and into the boats. As Delgado went to pass him buy the Sergeant yanked the beret off his head and shoved into his belt. “Get your lid on.”<br/><br/>Delgado quickly grabbed the helmet from his waist and pulled it onto his head, clipping it below his chin and then swinging his leg over the edge of the vessel. It suddenly occurred to him, as he swayed high above the waves that it was a long away down… Never in his life had the thought occurred to him but he quite suddenly realized his was afraid of heights.<br/><br/>For a moment he hung in space, fixed rigid by the height of the drop. Then a hand was shoving at him and he took a deep breath, flipped his other leg over the edge and began to climb down the long rope, clutching at the rope so hard that every wave slammed him against the ship and tore at the skin on his hands.<br/><br/>It seemed to take forever but at last he felt his boots on steel and he was safe again amidst the press of bodies. Only two others came down after home, one of them was Mohammad. They nodded, each trying to mask his fear, as the lines were thrown down and the small landing craft pulled away from the transport.<br/><br/>Diesel engines rumbled and smoke poured from the exhaust of the landing craft as it turned towards the beach, the incoming tide lifting them and carrying them towards a long stretch of beach topped with a mostly empty roadway.<br/><br/>Three men in front of Delgado were a pair of American volunteers he had gotten to know. They were from a place called Florida, he had never been, and they talked with a strange twang to their Spanish. They had been mechanics before they volunteered and like Delgado had headed overseas with the idea of adventure and glory in mind.<br/><br/>Delgado, still staring to the front and trying to control his mounting fear, saw trucks racing across the roadway, men hanging off of every available angle. They slid to a halt and men jumped to the roadway, dropping to their knees and, Delgado realized with a start, that they were about to open fire.<br/><br/>At first he wasn’t even aware they’d fired until he was able to hear the buzz of passing bullets as they whizzed past the landing craft. Several struck the steel hull with a loud<i>PING</i>and men ducked, some laughed nervously.<br/><br/>The first man died quite suddenly, one of the bullets striking the wheelhouse and ricocheting into the packed troops huddled below. He gave a muted grunt and then collapsed into the water that was starting to slosh about the deck of the landing craft. His blood began to dilute the water at once and Delgado found himself kneeling, almost in shock, as the Sergeant screamed at him to get the mans ammunition and grenades.<br/><br/>He did so quickly, pulling the bandoliers from the dead man and slinging them over his shoulder and standing back up, trying desperately not to look down. He had seen plenty of blood before on the farm, even a couple of dead men, but never a man killed before by an enemy bullet.<br/><br/>“Prepare to beach!” The words jolted him out of his thoughts and a glance up revealed the beach to be much closer than he had thought it was. The enemy soldiers were much closer and he could swear they were aiming right at him.<br/><br/>Suddenly the truck nearest to them vanished in a massive geyser of tarmac, dirt and fire. He didn’t know what had happened but he cheered with the rest of the men, the sight taking his mind off the dead body at his feet.<br/><br/>“Thank god for the Navy!” The Sergeant shouted, smiling broadly at Delgado. The smile only seemed to grow and then suddenly blood burst from between the mans lips and he collapsed into the water, his blood mingling with that of the other man. Delgado couldn’t take it anymore, he vomited into the water, his breakfast covering the face of the Sergeant where it stared up at him from the deck.<br/><br/>“Ramp down!”<br/><br/>The cry came from one of the sailors and Delgado wiped his chin on his sleeve, had the presence of mind to take the Sergeants ammunition, and then the ramp dropped with a crash into the water.<br/><br/>The war was on."

They had begun to charge off the ramp when an enemy machine gunner, sheltered by a mass of fallen driftwood, opened fire on the landing craft. The hull suddenly became a death trap as bullets ricocheted off the metal plates and slammed into the men jammed shoulder to shoulder. Some screamed, some cried out for god, most died. The two Americans, a pair of twins from the Philippines, three young childhood friends from Cuba, all of them collapsing under the spray of bullets, all of them between Delgado and the enemy gunner.<br/><br/>He waited only a fraction of a moment before taking a quick step, hoisting himself up the side of the landing craft and then rolling over towards the water below. He hit it with a crash, the weight of his equipment dragging him down until he hit the bottom on his back. He flailed free of his pack, desperate as the water closed in about him and his lungs began to burn, he hadn't taken a breath before he plunged into the tepid waves. He jerked and writhed, finally freeing himself from the pack and kicking out to get his feet underneath him. He lunged for the surface and to his surprise found himself in only five feet of water.<br/><br/>The landing craft was several yards away now drifting slowly towards the beach, blood oozing down her ramp. The wheelhouse was gone, the windows smashed, the driver slumped in his chair. No one emerged from the front of the landing craft though Delgado caught sight of Mohammad struggling to free himself his own pack some fifty feet away. Small geysers suddenly erupted all around the black man and it took Delgado a moment to realize that the enemy gunner was trying to kill them in the water.<br/><br/>He swore, dragged him weapon up from beneath the surf, aimed at the place where he had seen the muzzle flashes, and pulled the trigger. The moment he would never forget, the sudden clarity and joy as he emptied his thirty round clip in a slow methodical motion as he waded towards shore. The machine gun went silent but a dozen other enemy soldiers who had survived the naval bombardment opened fire on him now, their bullets peppering the water all around him and still he advanced.<br/><br/>One by one, clip by clip, he silenced the enemy soldiers, his eyes coldly roving the beach to pick out the huddled forms of his enemy. He showed no mercy, even when several stood with their hands in the air, clearly trying to surrender, he shot them down. Others, stunned by his seeming invincibility as he advanced into the teeth of their gunfire, began to panic and pull back. A second Spanish rifle opened fire as Mohammad, freed of his weight, joined the tall Argentine and together the two of them managed to clear the grasping waves and hit the beach at a run.<br/><br/>The attack was only five minutes old and already a dozen enemy soldiers lay dead in the sand, their bodies flung down by the lethal shots of the two soldiers who seemed impervious to everything thrown at them. One group of enemy soldiers, a later examination would reveal them to be Egyptians, made a stand in a small nest of driftwood and boulders but the two attackers fixed bayonets and with screams of ""Muerte y Gloria!"" they threw themselves over the barricades and the close quarters killing began.<br/><br/>It took thirty seconds, thirty seconds of screaming and slaughter, to clear the vipers nest. Delgado and Mohammad stopped killing only after the last of the enemy soldiers had stopped crying for his mother. Delgado pulled his bayonet from the mans chest, wiped it clean on the dead mans robes and then stood. Mohammad caught his eye and the two men nodded at each other, only slowly becoming aware of the cheering that was sweeping across the water towards them. The soldiers still approaching the beach in their landing craft, and those on the ships beyond, were screaming themselves hoarse in adoration of the two men.<br/><br/>Delgado looked about him, realizing for the first time that his landing craft was the first one to have reached the beach and the only one to have taken any serious enemy fire. The remainder of the men who had embarked with them were dead and only now, six minutes into the fighting, the second landing craft was only just touching the beach. Around them, their blood pooling at their feet, were at least two dozen enemy dead. Mohammad broke the silence first.<br/><br/>""We have done a great thing Comrade."" He reached out and the two shook hands over the shattered corpses of their slain enemies and the cheers of the soldiers landing on the beach below doubled in intensity and boots pounded across the sand as they hurried towards the two of them.<br/><br/>""Keep moving!"" A Spanish officer shouted. He caught Delgados eye as he yelled and for the first time since he had joined the Spanish army he saw something different in the officers eyes. For months it had been disgust, disdain, revulsion at the base ""colonial troops"" he had been forced to command but now something else was behind that gaze, respect.<br/><br/>Shots rang out further down the beach and Delgado turned to see more trucks hastening towards them from the city. It was to little to late. Behind him the bulk of the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>was landing, men streaming up the beach to take up firing positions. The causeway was narrow it worked like a funnel, pushing the Egyptian forces into the teeth of the 109th's gunfire. Trucks exploded, flipping into the air as grenades were hurled by strong young farm lads, men jerked backwards as if pulled by invisible strings as bullets fired by youth who had done it for sport back home found their mark. They might be a motel collection of colonials but the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>was learning how to fight.<br/><br/>It was not without loss of course. Many of the young men had no proper fear or respect for enemy bullets, forgetting that if you can see a man, he can see you, quite the opposite of a deer. Over a hundred would die taking the causeway as they pushed eastwards into the ruins of Port Said. By the time the first boots were in the streets nearly a sixth of the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>was dead or wounded. Of that, half were the Brigades Spanish senior NCO's and battlefield promotions came swiftly. For Mohammad and Delgado it meant promotion to platoon Sergeants as the story of their beach assault spread swiftly through the men and officers alike.<br/><br/>The causeway itself was taken within the hour, the sound of the Spanish cruisers firing beyond the skyline of the city only increasing the demands for urgency from the Spanish officers. Pushed past limits of endurance, the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>found itself in increasingly precarious positions as it fought to advance deeper into the streets of Port Said. More men fell, and those who did not quickly learned how to keep their heads down and engage in pitch gun battles. Hand to hand fighting became the norm as the young foreigners, realizing that they were bigger and stronger than their Egyptian and Ethiopian counterparts, closed in to make the fighting even more personal. Boys, who three months previously had been harvesting wheat, tending to injured animals, and shouldering farm labour, now used that same strength to punch, kick, bite, and in many cases, choke, the the life from other human beings.<br/><br/>Delgado, leading a random band of soldiers now, was in the midst of it all. He had not yet had time to reflect upon the lives he had taken that day but one thing was for certain, he was good at killing. With a rifle he was a crack shot, in hand to hand combat he was as lethal as any many alive. The long hours spent working the vineyards had given him massive upper body strength which he simply used to beat down his smaller opponents if they came within reach. Some of the moments would come back to haunt him in dreams for years to come but for the moment he was a god, an artist, and the battlefield was his canvas.<br/><br/>Two hours into the attack and the Airfield was completely under Spanish control even as the leading elements of the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>began to force the western edge of the city. Fighting was becoming desperate as Egyptian militiamen found themselves trapped between the advancing 109th and the Spanish Marines. They began to cluster into the city centre which made them an easier target for the big Spanish guns, guided onto target by spotter aircraft above, it was turning into a massacre.<br/><br/>The Spanish Commander finally called a halt as the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>cleared the last of the enemy soldiers from the eastern edge of the airfield and secured the buildings that overlooked the tarmac. A head count was taken and the numbers came in, of the six hundred men who had come ashore only two hours ago, almost half were dead or wounded. The 109th's battle was over for the moment."

As the sky itself came to meet it. The rocks that ran through the Earth's thick hide groped and scratched gnarled at the air above. Hallow and hungry as is – the very spine of the Earth itself – pulled itself from the earthly back of the world. The mountains no longer looked flat. It no longer looked small. Definition and distance returned as the dragons over head orbited and circled down. The wing was now not hidden from itself by the distances they flew.<br/><br/>Shen leaned into the bubble he called his perch. His breaths took to mist in the cold air. In the turning belly of the plane he watched as the entire wing of craft they flew with came into view against the clearing blue of Tibetain sky. There was no longer so much blackness as clouds pulled in across his view, and the panorama beyond. Painting a rich canvas of bright mid-day colors and crystalline white.<br/><br/>The steppe below was a rocky crag. Crowned with diamond peaks of snow and sparkling with melt water. Even further, more directly below them the twinkling and distant lights of their own airfield shone below. Even in the clearest day it had to be a balcony above. How else might he see it?<br/><br/>The lowering sun highlighted clearly his fellow planes. Dark kite-shaped monsters, angled back like arrow heads. As with the wings that hung over them, smoothed and fluid jets ran molded into the metal wings. The whole body was a single molded design, as if crafted by water running over top.<br/><br/>He had seen the prototype once. In some far corner of the home base in Mongolia. Sharp edges and all around primitive demeanor dominated its heavy body. Pink under belly and sandy brown. The craft this father had sired had long lost the rose and beige. They were steel gray and nightly purple. The colors patched and broken along their bowed shell.<br/><br/>The prototype though was not forgotten, and still flew. To its own crew. Though he had not seen it fly. Although if he had he was as forbidden to speak of it as he was forbidden to speak of the craft he rode in. There was plenty of fear in this craft, even on the ground. The black coats of the IB and their unspoken word kept a close watch on them and the aircraft. Shen shuddered to think just what they would do onto him if he spoke. It was for the best he kept quiet.<br/><br/>Landing these monsters was by now a routine procedure for them. Circle the landing strip, closing in ever closer. Coming down even lower. The loops becoming ever dazzlingly tighter as they drew lower to the ground. The plane would shudder, cutting through the uneven air as it went. High pressure, low pressure. Warm air, cold air. The ride was never as peaceful as it was before; where a man could sleep in peace and never be woken, if not for the regular chiming on the headsets that kept the men linked.<br/><br/>Shen had only seen the Himalayas twice. Both when they made voyages to this southern outpost for their wing. Practicing this very maneuver that was so regular in Nèi Měnggǔ. At Deep Gobi. He had seen more of the desert there, and the plains of the upper flat steppes and the forests of Heilongjiang and Eastern Russia.<br/><br/>They had flown as far as the arctic sea over Russia during the dead of winter once. The snow was black as night and there was nothing to see. But Shen starred in awe at the crystaline lights of the night sky in those clear northern skies. And the ribbons and bands of green and red that wrapped the air above them. He had never felt more at peace with himself, or more at awe with nature than there. And for a brief moment then, he felt close to what was preached by part of the Dao.<br/><br/>The base that closed in below was by no feat a complex affair. A single runway cut a black gash across the mountain side where it was cut. Alongside a single tower rose like an axel amid a field of barracks and administrative buildings. Several large hangers sat off to the side, one for each craft in their wing. They alone dwarfed the regular hangers for the contemporary aircraft, the fighters and helicopters stationed here. They were the only bombers stationed here, and they got the hangers armored in steel and concrete.<br/><br/>“We got ten minutes to land.” Sin Wu said in Shen's ears. The static that underlined their communication buzzed harshly, “Buckle up comrades. Over.”<br/><br/>Shen sighed. Leaning back into his seat. Reaching over with gloved hands he grabbed the strap, and pulled it across his lap, buckling him in. He took a deep breath, watching the horizon between his knees. His seat jerked under him, as the plane hit a rough pocket.<br/><br/>_______<br/><br/>The off color of the lights and the wood paneling of the wall gave the room a warm light. Save for the several dozen chairs on the floor and the podium on the far-side, it was empty. Steadily and one by one the pilots filed in. Their eyes searched the sparse briefing room wishfully. They sought some hint as to why they were here. But there was none.<br/><br/>The men who walked in all wore the same uniform. A baggy olive-green fleight suit. Baggy and puffy their insulated one-pieces hung empty off their shoulders, nylon straps hanging limp and dead at their side. Metal buttons glistened in the room's flourescent glow. Stained white undershirts left to finally breath after their cross-country fleight.<br/><br/>Without fleight masks and goggles to keep their faces covered from the cold and eyes free from the blinding sun and cool air the men's faces were lined with red from where the masks and goggles and held down tight. And the accumilating torture of a nose or brow to scratch was being well relieved. Shen moved among them, keeping up with his own group. His puffy cheeks beat red from the cold, indifferent from the mask he had worn. Holding back a sneeze he rubbed his flat bolbous nose as he to searched the room.<br/><br/>His senior – Sin Wu – was a large man, cleanly towering over the rest. He was not hard to loose, and his thick black hair was a mess having removed his leather and fur cowl. The officer already found himself a seat, alongside their lightly built navigator: Xi Li. The rest of the crew had no doubt got lost in the mix, but it'd hardly matter, they were getting the same message. And with nothing else going for him, Shen stole his seat alongside his two crewmates.<br/><br/>For the rest it didn't take long to find their seats. And as soon as Shen had taken a seat the rest had to. Several minutes of patient, uncomfortable silence passed as they waited, until the door behind them opened.<br/><br/>The pilots and crewmen didn't need any announcements. And at once the sound of metal chairlegs grinding against linoleum filled the room as they shot to their feat, standing at rigid attention. Greeting their superior officer as he moved along their side. He had no briefcase, and only purpose in his gaze. His gray coat hung against his knees.<br/><br/>“At ease, comrades.” he said in a hushed voice. He was an older man, well into his fifties. His graying hair thinned against his head and his face sagged loose. At his order they resumed their seats and he took the podium.<br/><br/>“Several days ago,” he began, “we recieved reports of Spanish hostilities against assets of the Ethiopian Panafrican Empire off the coast of North Africa. Shortly following, we recieved news from Spain that the Spanish President – Alfonso Sotelo – declared formal war against the Empire, making it official the two nations are now officially in a state of war.<br/><br/>“As we speak, Spanish forces are engaging Ethiopian assets at the Suez Canal in Egypt.<br/><br/>“Our proud nation has not yet effectively opted for official interference on the matter. However, by request of Hou Sai Tang command has issued for limited assistance to our Ethiopian allies as official measures are drafted in response to this, and the matter is raised with Congress.<br/><br/>“Of the points of this unofficial entrance to the conflict, it was elected that you, the pilots and crewmen of the High Altitude Recon and Bombing wing are to engage in long-range reconessience sweeps across Spain and Spanish Africa, and the whole of North Africa to obtain information and data estimates of Spanish movements on the current front and to acquire the means by which Beijing to assess the likelihood of additional fronts in this war opening in a Spanish effort to expand the scale of the war. In addition the searching for any stores of the chemical agent known as VX.”<br/><br/>Hushed murmurs whipped between the mouths of the men present, astonished and mildly terrified at its invocation. Without waiting for them to finish the senior officer rose his voice, silencing them as he continued, “As well as the location of military and industrial installations of great teactical importance to future efforts to neutralize Spain should – on Chinese intervention – the moment be deemed neccesary that Spain is to be attacked directly!<br/><br/>“Comrades, that is what is asked of you.” he said, finishing, “You will be deployed after a twelve hours rest for Europe. Your equipment will be cleaned and prepared, your planes refueled. As with any and all events – training or not – you are to maintain maximum altitude to fly above enemy radar.<br/><br/>“In excericises you have all flown commendably, though we are not proven in practice. This is our chance to define the wing and even encourage and expansion of the project we're all a part of. I won't waste your time with anymore words. I will simply say in closing: you'll make us proud.”<br/><br/><b>Kalachinsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>“Hey, we got it!” the early morning air echoed. The engineer crews had just begun to gather at the growing motorpool. Since the previous night several more damaged vehicles had arrived for maintenance, or had been pulled in off the field by brave salvage crews. The night was filled with the thunder of diesal as night crews facilitated to the placement of the scrap equipment. Teams of mechanics had set out in the damp late night to keep up, but despite them there was a significant backlog built up for the day teams.<br/><br/>Sun Song's Tei-Gui still sat precariously by, waiting attention. Though in the muddy ground of the old town hall's back yard it had begun to sag. The damaged side still lifted up off the ground enough to work. And standing proudly nearby with a rusted belt of linked steel plates was Jonny, hands stuffed deep into the pockets of his overalls.<br/><br/>“Figured they'd pull through.” Wu said, taking a large swig from a warm flask. He still looked tired, “We can get this done then.” he added, looking to his side. Tsun stood by distant. Short hours were new to him, and he felt stuck in a daze.<br/><br/>“The hell you doing so awake?” Da joked, raping Tsun on the back as he whipped around from the side, “It's only zero-fivehundred.”<br/><br/>Tsun grimmaced at the hours. He'd been up late watching them last night. Going to sleep wasn't much easier, spending much of the time thinking about how Song might bear down on him. If he had done this at home his drill sergeants would have him castrated. But there it was running over something. But a mine was a fair comparison.<br/><br/>“How long?” he asked groggily.<br/><br/>“Give us a couple hours. This afternoon you may be able to head out.” Wu said in a low voice.<br/><br/>“What do you think Song will do?” Tsun asked.<br/><br/>“Song?” Wu laughing, “I don't know the fucker good enough. For all I know he could force you to breath exaust for a week or cut off an ear.<br/><br/>“But if it was me, I'd smack you across the head and tell you not to do again or I'm writing the paperwork. And I might as well bust your nuts over that if I have to go to the discplinary officer and run the briefing gambit.<br/><br/>“I'm not willing to take any bets.” the sergeant added.<br/><br/>“I don't think anyone is...” Tsun said drowzily.<br/><br/>“Deal only in absolutes.” Wu said with a proud nod, “Accept only victory. Believe in no superstition. The power of victory is in man only.<br/><br/>“I remember that from training. Do you?”<br/><br/>“How could I forget.” Tsun grumbled.<br/><br/>Wu nodded, standing by idly. “Coffee?” he offered.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?”<br/><br/>“Coffee.” Wu repeated, “I guess it's the new thing. A lot of people in Shanghai and Hong Kong have been drinking it. Last I was in Beijing I saw one place in the south-east corner selling coffee. Comes from Ethiopia. Probably the closest any of us will be to Africa.<br/><br/>“And stronger than tea too. Want a swig?” he offered again, holding out the flask.<br/><br/>Apprehensivly, Tsun took the flask. The metal was warm in his fingers. Lifting it to his nose he smelled it. The drink was potent, with a strong earthly aroma; sweet and bitter. He gave Wu an unsure look.<br/><br/>“It's not going to kill you, and it's not contraband.” he said, “And it's not liquor so you won't get drunk.<br/><br/>“Drink it all. I can get more. I know the Quartermaster well enough.”<br/><br/>“Well... if you say.” Tsun said hesitantly, raising the flask to his lips.<br/><br/>All to quickly he tipped it high. And all too readily the hot liquid inside came rushing to his lips and washing into his mouth. Sharp bitter heat exploded on his tongue and in shook he reeled back, coughing out a mouthful of bitter black water. He gagged, spitting as he fought to quench the burning sensation on his tongue. Wu roared with laughter, clapping his hands as Tsun struggled with what just had happened.<br/><br/>“Drink, not chug it!” he seazed, laughing.<br/><br/>“Oh shit, you did it for me.” Wu chuckeled, “I didn't think I would get that today, but I did. Shit, I don't think I need to drink any now.”<br/><br/>Tsun gagged, trying to spit off the burning from his whole tongue. But to no painful avail. “And you're not supposed to chug it!” Wu exclaimed, “I said drink!”<br/><br/>“The hell happened without me?” Da asked from the tank.<br/><br/>Whipping a tear from his eye Wu recovered himself. “Nothing, go back to work.” he ordered, waving him off.<br/><br/>“Go, try again. But careful.” Wu invited again. Tsung shot him a angry look, offering him the flask again.<br/><br/>“No, I mean it.” the sergeant said again, his voice tettering on that of an order, “If you're falling asleep on duty then you might need a little help. Because Song's coming.”<br/><br/>Tsun's chest siezed at the revelation. Paniced he looked around. Turning to find his superior officer walking through the morning mist towards them. Arms wrapped around his back, coat hanging about his knees.<br/><br/>His driver fidgeted with the flask, nervously trying to hide it as Song walked closer. Was this sentencing?<br/><br/>“Sun Song.” Li Wu saluted, stepping aside.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” song bowed, “How are things?”<br/><br/>“We've located a replacement tred, throwing it on as we speak. I imagine it'll be done by the afternoon at the latest.”<br/><br/>Song nodded, seemingly ignoring Tsun for the time being. “Excellent.” he said, “I want to get out as soon as we can. We're missing things. We've already preached city limits. I got commanders under me wondering where I went. I don't want them to go lacking.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” Wu agreed. Gesturing to Tsun he stepped back, “I imagine you're here for him.” he added.<br/><br/>Song smiled politely, waving Wu off before he turned to Tsun. The young driver's chest felt like iron. His heart wrapped in chains. It wasn't admiration. It was fear.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” Song said.<br/><br/>“Sir.” Tsun said nervously.<br/><br/>“Will this happen again?” Song asked.<br/><br/>“No sir.” Tsun replied.<br/><br/>“Then we're good.” the officer smiled, “Though, I want you to take more responsibility. Sleep more. If need be I can put in a few requisitions and find something to keep you awake. I'm sure I can find something medically at my disposal.” he stopped, looking at the flask.<br/><br/>“Coffee...” Tsun said nervously.<br/><br/>“Coffee.” Song nodded, “Tsun.”<br/><br/>“Yes?”<br/><br/>“Given what I know, I order you to drink more coffee.” Song ordered, pointing to the flask, “Or some strong tea before we go out anywhere. How you acquire it will be up to you, I'm not going to baby sit you about it. But as an order, to perhaps prevent this again; drink more of that. Carry it in your bags if you must.<br/><br/>“Finish that, and go to the rest of the crew and get some sleep. We're moving out as soon as we get the tank back.”<br/><br/>“Yes sir.” Tsun bowed. A part of his mind drew a sigh of relief. The other held back defensively against the burning bitter drink.<br/><br/><b>Urals, Russia</b><br/><br/>“Comrade Makulov, I must really stress how dire this is!” Ulanhu protested loudly, as he followed the Russian commander down the hall of his cabin hall. The former imperial general looked tired and worn. He moved with a heavier gait and obviously was not in the mood.<br/><br/>“How am I supposed to be concerned with the gross negligence of a soldier who is not even mine to command?” the general protested, his voice heavy and discplinary. He shot the Mongol a harsh look to the side. His face read he didn't want to have any of it. He just wasn't having the morning for it.<br/><br/>“Because for all I know our enemies may be using the radio to find our location.” pressed Ulanhu, “From the communications I got last night it's strongly implied they do know where I am, and by association you and your men are.”<br/><br/>Leaning against the opening to a large living room Makulov turned. Glaring silently down at Ulanhu he sighed. “Last I checked comrade, locating one by radio doesn't require one. Unless Jun had three I can not believe you.” he spoke like a displinary father, a cynical teacher. “And I have many men under my command still, and not just in the village itself. If there was any direct threat to our hideout and our safety then it would have reached me. Furthermore, we can hold our own against the rabble that was the Mafiya.<br/><br/>“Now, I don't give a shit about your toys from the orient and I'm sure they're probably off trying to play with you more on it. But it's wise you don't yield to their psychological war. No matter how many people they string up to the trees we've always told ourselves: we are more, we are stronger, we are more loyal.<br/><br/>“We're the greater strength against gangsters. I am confident we can hold off a few lone gunmen. If it was a direct Republic threat I may care more. But if you excuse me, comrade, I would like to take a nap by the fire. I've had a terrible night last night.”<br/><br/>“Comrade, could you at least promise someth-” Ulanhu argued desperately, his heart fluttering in panic in his chest.<br/><br/>“Good bye, comrade.” Makulov replied, annoyed.<br/><br/>“B-” Ulanhu started.<br/><br/>“Good bye!” the general shouted. His face writhed in discomfort as a hand climbed to his temple, “Please. Walk yourself out.” he grumbled.<br/><br/>Ulanhu knew the demands were rejected. There wasn't anything more he could do to change the rebel general's mind. He turned slowly from the officer as he returned to finding a couch to lay on.<br/><br/>Ulanhu's boots beat solo on the carpet as he walked down the rest of the hall. As always the heavy doors that seperated Makulov's private quarters from the more functional section of his rural headquarters hung shut. Made of heavy oak, Ulanhu forced them open. They groaned heavily on their iron hinges. And just as much they closed behind him.<br/><br/>The guard that stood nearby watched his go with a apprehensive look. Ulanhu though was to distracted to notice. He walked by, his head swimming in fear and the weight of his partner having been killed in the field. How might he get back to Beijing and report the loss then? How should he establish a connection with home? Was he trapped until the Chinese army made it to the Republic's capital? The questiones were heavy, and played ruinously across his good concious. He wasn't a field agent like Jun was, there'd be way he'd survive Russia.<br/><br/>But, they only had the one radio. How likely was it they were going to find him? Could they have used it though to find the signal on their own radios to triangulate him? Afterall, ECGs weren't much but a way to downsize and boost the range...<br/><br/>“Comrade.” the guard said to Ulanhu before he could get far. The Mongol froze startled.<br/><br/>“I heard some of the conversation, you have problem. Ja?” the guard asked. His Chinese was weak, shaky at best, even conversationally. Rough and broken, it was delivered in stressed breaking the rythym. The guard's staccato accent changing the tones, mutating it.<br/><br/>“Just... Just a little.” he said, turning to address the guard, “Why?”<br/><br/>“If you scarred, could always invite you into town.” the guard invited, “Stay with family until the situation blows over. Ja?”<br/><br/>“Well, thanks... But I don't think that's neccesary.” Ulanhu grumbled, “It'd be best if I were let alone.”<br/><br/>“I understand, but to one comrade to another.” laughed the guard. He was heavier set, and his body jiggled like gelatine when he laughed. He leaned forward, looking into the administrative hall. “By the way, what was on the radio?” he asked.<br/><br/>“I- I guess it's not state-important.” the agent grumbled, walking up to him. “Just a lot of threats. And does the phrase 'Tili tili bom' mean anything to you?”<br/><br/>“Tili tili bom!?” the guard replied, his blue eyes going wide, shocked. “Is an old lullaby. Mother sung it to me when I was a kid.”<br/><br/>“It is?”<br/><br/>“Dja. Was always a little creepy. But I guess it scarred most of us to sleep!” the guard said, rolling with laughter, “Mother sings: 'Tili tili bom. Close your eyes now. Someone is walking outside the house.'”<br/><br/>“Doesn't sound pleasant at all.” Ulanhu commented, disgusted.<br/><br/>“Aye, but I still sing it to my kid.” the guard smiled, “Lately though, I wonder sometimes. I hear from family in city out near Tyumen of stories of people hearing song on the streets, at night. Then when they wake in the morning someone is dead. Is rumors, but is enough. Are you sure you want to stay alone?<br/><br/>“You got company at my place, and guns. And you're not at the edge of town. More in center. I won't care for Chinese things, I can let you set up in the basement. Wife and son don't speak Chinese, Makulov ordered I tried. So try I did.”<br/><br/>“I'll have to consider it...” Ulanhu nodded, distantly, “But, is there anyone else I can talk to about this? Perhaps to put me at rest I can ask someone to see if they can find Jun or his body?”<br/><br/>The guard shrugged, “Ivan, probably. Apart from being comrade Makulov's muscle he oversees our matters in the city. Mail, groceries, supplies, inteligence, scouting. Stuff like that. He could deliver the word down.<br/><br/>Ivan. Ulanhu didn't have good instances with him. When they first arrived the burly Russian threw him naked into an icy pond. Ever sense the scrawny Mongolian feared he'd try to make another effort. Loud, muscle bound, and angry. He wasn't a figure he wanted to deal with, and he tried to hide that fact. “I'll keep that in mind.” he said, if apprehensive and distant from the proposal. He much preferred Jun's cold distance from the aggressive and challenging personality of Ivan.<br/><br/>“I understand. But my offer always open.” the guard nodded, “Name is Konstantin.”<br/><br/>“Nice to meet you, Ulanhu is the name.”"
22056,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-13 06:15:00,gorgenmast,"<b><i>Golondrina</i>, Port Fuad, Egypt</b><br/><br/>Luis found himself staring up at a network of aluminum ducts and piping. The soothing rumbling of the idling engines vibrated under his back. He was somewhere in the interior of the warship, somewhere removed from the bullets and the rockets and the dying. A fleeting respite from the war raging beyond the bulkheads, Luis welcomed it all the same.<br/><br/>He laid upon a plastic dining table; the Cruiser's mess room, Luis recognized. It had apparently been converted into a triage during the course of the battle, evidenced by the green card hanging on the wall above his head meaning that he was of the lowest priority. Medics went back and forth past his feet to check with the actual casualties, glancing briefly at the green card before ignoring him. The medics' lack of concern was in fact reassuring to Luis, who worried that he had been somehow injured in the exchange between the cruiser and the Ethiopians. He didn't remember how he had come to be placed in triage, only the fact that he had thrown up. That and his first sight of real blood, the Ethiopian burning to death before his eyes. He would remember those things for the rest of his life.<br/><br/>A gurney rattled past his feet, its occupant shrouded by a blanket splattered in dark, drying blood, the very sight of which wrung Luis' stomach. How could he be expected to fight, to kill, when the very sight of blood could make him faint? He didn't belong here. He knew that much.<br/><br/>""I understand he was the first."" A gruff voice unfamiliar to Luis declared, punctuating the silence and the gurney rolled out of the mess hall.<br/><br/>""So I hear. The first to give their life for this war."" This voice was familiar, and commanded terror from Luis. It was General Ponferrada. Luis shut his eyes and pretended he was still unconscious.<br/><br/>""And he has been joined, with the landing of the International Brigade there will be more to come.""<br/><br/>""Reconnaissance flights report that the irregulars have actually taken substantial amounts of ground. Color me surprised, I am that much more hopeful now for the campaign in Ethiopia, when the Africans engage our real soldiers."" The General's words elicited naught but silence. A tense, unnerving silence that even Luis was disturbed by.<br/><br/>""They<i>are</i>real soldiers, General. They fight for you, they are<i>dying</i>for you. Don't discredit them again."" Luis couldn't believe his ears. Who would dare talk to any general in this tone? Let alone Victor Ponferrada.<br/><br/>""You are fortunate, Admiral, that I honor your leadership and direction. Your service in Boston and Helsinki is a credit to the Republic. Very seldom do I tolerate anyone to speak with me in such a tone.""<br/><br/>""I honor<i>them</i>."" Admiral Santin shot back. ""I respect the foreigners for their bravery and dedication to the fight against the socialists. They aren't just some pawns to absorb bullets for the regular infantry. Give them the respect they deserve.""<br/><br/>An uncomfortable silence settled over the mess hall. Beads of anxious sweat formed on Luis' forehead. Several moments passed before the muffled, concussive rumbling of artillery cut the silence and, curiously enough, the tension.<br/><br/>""The destroyers are still firing?"" General Ponferrada asked, welcoming a chance to change the subject. ""I thought that all targets of value had been hit already.""<br/><br/>""All but one."" Corrected Admiral Santin. ""That salvo came from the<i>Aksum</i>.""<br/><br/>""Don't fret, Admiral. The<i>Ejercito</i>is preparing to neutralize the Ethiopian vessel as I speak."" Ponferrada dismissed, his bootfalls drawing closer to Luis' makeshift cot. ""By morning tomorrow, the fleet will reach the Red Sea."" The General's footsteps ceased when he reached the table upon which Luis lay. Even and he kept perfectly still, feigning unconsciousness, Luis could feel the General's piercing gaze as he inspected him.<br/><br/>""What's wrong with him?"" Admiral Santin asked of the triaged private.<br/><br/>Luis couldn't help but wince as the general scrutinized him. He hoped the general hadn't notice the twitch of his face. This was not how he wanted to be seen by such a formidable superior - hiding from the battle in triage. He felt his face grow warm completely against his will. He was blushing profusely from embarrassment. He could feel it in his cheeks, sweat matting under his hair. He tried his best to squelch the reddening glow, but it was of no avail. There was no way that the general would miss such a display.<br/><br/>""Cowardice."" Ponferrada concluded.<br/><br/><b>Bilbao, Spain</b><br/><br/>It was only when he was on the plane when they took his bag off. With the whizzing of black nylon sliding past his face, Julio Zuraban's pupils stung upon exposure to light for the first time in hours. Through squinted eyes, he found himself handcuffed to the armrest of his bench seat. in the cavernous belly of a massive aircraft - military construction, that much was clear. Most probably a<i>Gargola</i>bomber, the workhorse of the Spanish air forces, simply due to its size. Pintles on the far end of the fuselage where racks of bombs could be mounted suggested that this was indeed a requisitioned bomber. Though he was hardly an expert on military aircraft, Julio knew well enough that these planes were built for the express purpose of moving a great masses for incredible distances. It was clear this would not be a short flight, but the destination was not as apparent.<br/><br/>His captors had blacked-out the half dozen windows on the plane just as they had with the bus that had taken him to Arratzu. Even so, there was nothing to see beyond the walls of the plane. Julio stole a glance behind him out the rear loading bay, and saw only the interior of a hangar and a line of prisoners being herded off the buses and up into the fuselage of the plane like so much cattle.<br/><br/>""How come they aren't fucked up like the other flights?"" The handler who had removed Julio's bag from his face asked his companion. ""The Doctor decide he doesn't want a plane full of vegetables anymore?""<br/><br/>""Couldn't tell you. Maybe he needs some controls for his projects?"" His partner suggested nonchalantly, locking handcuffs to seats and yanking black bags off of captive passengers as he went.<br/><br/>Questions bit at the tongues of all the prisoners aboard, but each knew to stifle their questions. Julio and the rest of them learned that speaking out of turn earned nothing but a round of cattleprod beating; worse still came when one was demanded to talk. Anyone who had spent any amount of time at Arratzu knew that everything went most smoothly when silence was maintained.<br/><br/>Another twenty minutes passed as the last of the prisoners were chained to their seats, a length of time that passed like seconds to Julio. After what seemed to be an eternity of ennui and isolation at Arratzu, he could scarcely process all the activity around him. His senses were overloaded trying to process it all, particularly the sheer anxiety and discomfort of what appeared to be a hundred fellow prisoners. In a way it was a welcome break from the bleak hopeless that permeated Arratzu, to know that he would not die there after all. At the same time, the departure from Arratzu was terrifying. After hurting that interrogator so, Julio knew he would not be allowed to go unscathed, and he remembered how he wished for him to be fully aware when he met this Guijon. Whoever this man was, it could be counted upon that he would mete out a fate worse than any at Arratzu.<br/><br/>Anxiety bubbled up in his stomach as the engines spun to life outside the hull. The plane rumbled and shook as their handlers made their way out of the rear doors, which ground shut behind them. The lighting of the hangar left the cargo hold as the doors shut amidst the building pitch of the spinning propellers. The plane bounced gently beneath Julio, exacerbating the queasiness in his stomach. The plane was rolling; already taxing itself out the hangar and onto the runway, they could feel the landing gear's suspension bouncing against the tarmac. Whatever their destination, the pilots seemed intent on arriving as quickly as possible.<br/><br/>As the captives were jostled about within the dark belly of the airplane, Julio's anxious glance met that of his neighbor.<br/><br/>""I know you."" The man sitting next to him uttered. He was older man, just shy of elderly. Or perhaps younger. A time in Arratzu had made appear older than his years, and he was bruised and cut much the same as Julio.<br/><br/>""I-I'm sorry?""<br/><br/>""Yeah. I know you. You're the Senator. Zuraban.""<br/><br/>""What's left of him."" Julio confirmed.<br/><br/>""I don't think you could've done worse than me."" With his free hand he pointed to a scaly patch of scabby scar tissue just above his right ear, notably devoid of the thin, black hair set to graying by the tribulations he had faced. ""One of those masked assholes got carried away with that box knife during the initial processing.<i>Gilipolla</i>.""<br/><br/>""Why would they do that?""<br/><br/>""I suppose I did antagonize him. A little."" He admitted with a sheepish grin. ""Maybe more than a little."" Julio smiled in turn.<br/><br/>""Anyway, I recognized you. I saw you a few times in person, in Madrid. Before you just sort of disappeared after telling that committee how full of shit they were. Yes, I remember that. Quite a stir that made; took some balls to say what you did, I admire that. That had to be what, five years ago now. I guess you got what you deserved. Five years in that place... You paid dearly for it.""<br/><br/>""I don't think I was in for that long."" Julio admitted. ""They took me in sometime in... April, I think?""<br/><br/>""This year?<i>Jesucristo</i>, I don't even think you spent six months back there. You must have made someone's shitlist.""<br/><br/>""You could say that."" The former senator admitted with his own mischievous smile. The whine of the propellers dramatically increased in pace, the bouncing accelerated as the plane lurched forward to take off, erasing the smile from his face. Julio's stomach sank against his back as the bomber rose up off the runway and climbed upward, bumps of turbulence rocked him and the others as the plane soared upward. As stability returned to the fuselage, Julio's new acquaintance resumed his conversation.<br/><br/>""Anyway, I never really introduced myself properly."" Julio's neighbor extended his free hand around his lap over to Julio. ""I'm Joaquin.""<br/><br/>""Joaquin."" Julio repeated, accepting his handshake with his own free arm. ""It is a pleasure to meet you.""<br/><br/>""Likewise."" Joaquin agreed, bouncing with the turbulence. ""For the last friend I ever make, I could do a lot worse than Senator Zuraban."""
22057,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-16 16:36:00,Vilageidiotx,"<b>Sevan, Armenia</b><br/><br/>Sahle's dreams deposited him in his own past. It was in his school years, in those early days when he had been sent to Europe to receive what his father saw as a 'proper' education. He had been young then, on the first step to pubescence. It had been the girls who discovered his sexuality for him. European girls, who were wealthy and bored, and who saw in him, even in his youth, the exotic Nubian prince from old stories. The ones who first taught him were the older girls - those who were nearly out of school - and they had taught him a lot. When he had returned home, he had brought his new discoveries with him.<br/><br/>It was early morning. Addis Ababa was somewhere in the grey forgotten mass beyond the walls, a quiet city in those days, and one he had never cared much about. What he remembered the most, the detailed nucleus of the dream, was the wool skirt hanging from the pine tree in the corner of the courtyard. The tree had been dry, and when the wind picked up it caused the tree to hiss. The skirt was tangled at the top, fuzzy blue thread impaled delicately by needle-tips.<br/><br/>When the tree hissed, it caused young Sahle to cringe. He was paranoid that somehow, it would wake the girls father - a visiting delegate from Russia. He could hardly remember the girl anymore - she had been young, as slender as snake, and she wiggled in his arms in a way that would make him instantly hard. Her hair had been a dark-streaked blonde. He couldn't remember her face. But he could remember her father. He had been a serious man, bearded and tall, and dressed in dark tweed that made him look like a statesman of old Europe. When he talked, it came out as an eloquent growl. What would a man like that do when he found out what Sahle had done to his wiggling daughter?<br/><br/>Sahle had recruited help from his younger brother. It was strange, Yaqob in the dream. His face in childhood existed in tandem with the solemn face of the adult he had grown to be. Even stranger had been his helper, Hassan's daughter Azima when she had been hardly more than a toddler. When she grew up, Sahle would fuck her too. This knowledge caused the dream to slowly fade. He saw the two children climbing the tree, and he saw the adults within. Everything faded. He thought of the schoolgirls when they showed him the broom closet, and he thought of Azima all those years later. He was lost, burning in a fever dream. And he was also horny.<br/><br/>Colors danced in a kaleidoscope pattern set against neon grey. Breasts floated down like raindrops, morphing and confusing him. Where was he? Was there music? He heard familiar voices.<br/><br/>""An old man from Kars was feeding the soldiers."" the voice started, ""And the soldiers asked why the man lived alone.""<br/><br/>Sahle stayed in the titscape. The voice continued. ""He says 'See that fence over there? I laid every stone by hand, building it up for miles. But do they call me Ohanjan the Fence Builder? No.' ""<br/><br/>"" 'See that tank over there? I built it out of spare parts, piece by piece, and sold it to the government to help fight the Turks, but do they call me Ohanjan the Tankman? Pah!' ""<br/><br/>"" 'Look over there at that church. I rebuilt it with my nephews, and we restored it so the priests could hold services in there again. Do they call me Ohanjan the Godly?' ""<br/><br/>The voice began to crack. "" 'But you fuck one goat!""' it said before laughing. Sahle watched a final tit-bubble float down. Inside was a goat. It bleated, and the tit burst along with his dream. He woke up.<br/><br/>Sahle was laying on a couch, his back aching from the stiff cushion. Above him, watching from shelves and walls of immaculate white, were dozens of tiny faces. They were small and beady eyed children, boys and girls, with painted cherub faces. Sahle's head swam as he tried to get his bearings. He remembered that he was in the doll makers house, and that a night of partying still burned in his brain. He heard Yared and Marc laughing, and he heard the soft sound of gentle chiseling.<br/><br/>He took a deep, rasping breath and propped himself up against the rock-hard arm of the sofa. The room was bleached white, each corner and crevice immaculate. Shelves lined the room, stacked with dolls and figures - all in porcelain. There was an overpowering smell of stale cinnamon, masking the the subtle scent of paint. From a window overlooking Sevan, only the sides of buildings were visible in the foreground. They were on the second floor. In the distance, the empty green hills of Armenia.<br/><br/>Aaliyah was sitting as still as one of the dolls lining the wall, and she was facing the awkward man who this place belonged to. Davit, he was called. Davit was a withdrawn man, but his awkwardness did not feel as if it came from incompetence. He was Sahle's age, but he acted like an old man - distant and uninterested in his visitors. Vladmira had told them what to expect.<br/><br/>""He does not like people."" she had said. Sahle remembered her lips, red with lipstick, as they pursed after each word. ""Davit did not fight. No. He was not in the war. He has stayed, with his dolls. He found a way to use his talents after the fighting ended.""<br/><br/>Sitting on a wooden stool, he gently put the finishing touches on an ivory mask he had spent the last week carving. They had given him a photo of Aaliyah, and allowed him to measure her face as if her forehead was being fitted for a dress. It surprised Sahle when the aloof little man asked them to come back so that he could put the final details on the mask in the presence of its customer.<br/><br/>He carved these masks from ivory, or made them from porcelain. Veterans scarred in war found the service useful - a man who had lost and eye, or part of a cheek, or half of a face, could cover up the ugliness of their wound and join in on the excitement that filled the post-war country. For Aaliyah, the mask would cover up the scarred pit where Stanley Barnham had drove a knife into her eye.<br/><br/>He sat still, absorbed in his work, his fingers pinched delicately to a small brush. He made small strokes, perfecting the tiniest details on the small mask he held in his lap like an infant. Yared had tried to poke him into conversation when they first arrived, asking him about the dolls that stood their corpse-like watch along his shelves.<br/><br/>""Who is this?"" he had asked, fingering the frills of a tall dolls dress.<br/><br/>""Queen Victoria"" the doll maker had answered without looking up.<br/><br/>Yared moved on to another. ""This?"" he asked about another.<br/><br/>""A girl."" that had been the entirety of his answer.<br/><br/>The last one Yared inspected was a man, it seemed. He wore a suit, and except for a well-kept cut of grey-black hair, had the same feminine face as the others.<br/><br/>""This one?"" Yared asked again.<br/><br/>""President Assanian"" the doll maker answered.<br/><br/>Eventually, Yared had became bored, and he entertained himself by telling jokes to Marc, who was still riding high from their last lines of Sotelo's blow.<br/><br/>Sahle's eyes wandered to Vladmira. He felt guilty, but he could not help but think about her. She held herself in a way that made him think of nothing but the flesh under her tight clothes. Oh what flesh! It was as if she had designed her every pose with him in mind. She sat in her own corner, her legs folded and her body leaned to one side so that the shape of her hip was completely evident. Sahle had been surprised to see her again. He had expected Vasily, or Oziryan, to meet with them instead. Maybe even one of Oziryan's lackeys. For a perfect creature to do such a menial task... it was like seeing a Queen serving drinks in a bar. It made no sense.<br/><br/>""Are you having a show tonight?"" she asked, cutting through the silence.<br/><br/>""No."" Yared replied. ""The Old Man is out of town. We're shut down for a few days.""<br/><br/>""Why do you still work for him?"" she asked. ""There are better payers in this city."" Sahle watched her legs as she shifted in her seat. How much would it take to see more of her? He felt guilty, but he hated that it was something to feel guilty about more. Why should that be considered wrong? Why couldn't he taste the pleasures of Armenian hedonism and still care for Aaliyah? There were chains there that he did not like.<br/><br/>""The city is filling up with acts"" Aaliyah noted.<br/><br/>""Be still."" the doll maker hissed. Aaliyah stood straight up and obeyed.<br/><br/>""That is true, friends."" Yared said. ""People keep coming here every day. All those young soldier boys trying to forget that war. Some of them think they can sing.""<br/><br/>""Where would you work."" Sahle broke in, ""If you were us?""<br/><br/>Vladmira looked up, her blonde hair brushing against her skin as she thought. How much a model woman she looked in that pose. ""The Azerbaijan"" she answered. ""Near the lake. They do televised shows every Saturday. That is where a person could get their face out there.<br/><br/>For a moment, Sahle considered it. Then he remembered. He could not risk his face being out anywhere.<br/><br/>""That's not my thing."" he answered. ""The Old man runs a cushy little club.""<br/><br/>""Pity."" she said. ""You would have looked good on the television.""<br/><br/>Sahle's heart skipped a beat. Then he thought of him and her in bed, breasts heaving and bodies mingling. He became aware of his own breathing. Then he felt guilty again. That damned guilt. Had Aaliyah saw anything there? Was she jealous, or did she know what he was thinking? When did women become a stressful thing? When he was young, before he had to flee into the desert and become Samel, he could move from woman to woman as casually as he changed his clothes. How easier that had been. He loved Aaliyah, but... he wasn't sure why there were guidelines there. At least, he didn't understand now what he thought he understood before. His lust for Vladmira had changed it.<br/><br/>""I understand that Spain and Ethiopia has are at war."" she said. ""You people are from Africa, this is right?""<br/><br/>Sahle felt his stomach knot. He had left home for good, but some part of him wished he could go back. In some ways, he had allowed himself to think that he might return some day, a thought that comforted in those times when he felt out of his element. Would his family survive this invasion? He doubted it. It felt as if his childhood was dying a slow death behind him. It was depressing. Now he wanted to go somewhere and get high.<br/><br/>""It is strange, friends."" Yared said. His voice was somber, ""When I heard of the war, it felt like I just left. I remember it.""<br/><br/>""I heard the fighting is in Port Said."" Aaliyah added. He could hear what she mean. Was it in Egypt? Was it going to be fought where I lived? Was it happening in that place we had just left? The latter fact caused Sahle's skin to crawl. Port Said. That is where they had lost the Spaniard, and where Sahle had nearly been discovered by his own sister, the Princess Taytu.<br/><br/>Taytu. How would she fair in this war? They had not gotten along as children, but she was his blood.<br/><br/>How strange. When had he became so sentimental?<br/><br/>""We were just... we were just in Port Said."" Sahle squeaked, his mouth dry.<br/><br/>Vladmira lifted an eyebrow. ""Yes."" she said. ""Those thugs started chasing you there. Oziryan has said.""<br/><br/>""How much do you know Oziryan?"" Sahle blurted out. For a moment, he felt naked. What would they think he meant by that? Would they suspect his jealousy now? He waited for a response.<br/><br/>No reaction. He had to be more careful with his words...<br/><br/>""Oziryan keeps a close eye on the people he knows he can use."" she explained cryptically. ""You may become useful like this too.""<br/><br/>""It is done."" the doll maker exclaimed. He held the mask up to his face - a yellow-veined ivory sliver of face; a cheek and an eye. The front had been painted in brown enamel, matching Azima's skin. The color followed the grains of the ivory so naturally that it looked as if brown had been its original color. More impressive, however, had been the eye. A deep-souled brown eye, the iris's attended to with such delicacy that it made the mask feel almost dangerous to some instinctual corner of the mind. No amount of paint could catch the soul of the eye, but the doll maker had came near. Sahle realized that was what made the dolls in the room seem so sinister. It was in the eyes.<br/><br/>""It will attach by this strap."" Davit explained, producing a piece of thing leather. ""I will keep this copy for a few nights, to make copies of. For now though..."" he handed the mask to Aaliyah. She held it like a child receiving a gift, playing with it in her hands. She was smiling. Sahle felt warmly elated for her. For a moment, he forgot about Vladmira in the corner.<br/><br/>She held it up to her face, covering the place where the wound was. It was an odd thing, seeing an unmoving copy of that corner of her face with its unblinking enamel eye. In some ways, it brought more attention to the disfigurement it hid. These masks were rare, but occasional, sights on the faces of soldiers. For a young woman to have such a thing though...<br/><br/>Still, it was hard to ignore the artistry. That was the beauty of it. Davit the doll maker was a master at his hobby. And Aaliyah loved it. She stared herself in the eye, grinning like a young girl newly in love. ""It is lovely."" she exclaimed, reluctantly handing it back. ""Thank you Davit. Thank you.""<br/><br/>The Doll maker smiled courteously and nodded. Aaliyah embraces Sahle, falling into his arms. ""It is lovely."" she repeated. He felt her warmth in his hands and couldn't help but smile as well.<br/><br/>""There is a matter of my payment."" the doll maker turned to Vladmira. ""Ivory is expensive, and this was a special work.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Vladmira answered. ""You have Oziryan's assurances. What you asked for will be delivered.""<br/><br/><b>Port Said, Suez Canal</b><br/><br/>The sun was setting, and the ruined buildings of Port Said were casting shadows on the cratered city.<br/><br/>""I shit muhself"" a man moaned. His voice slurred as if he was drunk, but his problems were much worse. He lay on a stretcher nearby, his stomach torn open. In the gathering dark, the bloody mess on his belly was washed in shadow.<br/><br/>""I shit muhself. I... I shit muh..."" he continued to mutter.<br/><br/>""We are threatened."" a Captain said. His uniform hung limp from his torso, unbuttoned and stained, and he stood bare chested as he argued with Elias on behalf of the commanding officer who headed the expedition. Leyla knew that the Army could do whatever it wanted - Elias was hardly the highest ranking man on the field. A more impetuous commander would most likely not bother to ask the Walinzi agents before making a decision, but this one had been chosen wisely. ""The Spanish have the airfield. They are moving quickly."" the Captain gestured to the west.<br/><br/>""A counterattack would play into their hands."" Elias argued. Leyla had never known him to be a strategist. ""If we face them directly, they will win. They have the resources. Your job is to delay.""<br/><br/>""I shit... I shit..."" the wounded man crooned. Leyla wanted to put a bullet in his brain. She wondered if he had actually shat himself, or if he was confused from his wounds. The air smelled like smoke, and blood, and dust and saltwater. These battle scents were strong, and their acrid stench overpowered everything else. If he had shat himself, she couldn't smell it.<br/><br/>The Captain stood a head taller than Elias. Leyla found it intimidating, but Elias didn't look effected. Both of the men didn't seem to notice the dying man nearby them. ""If they cut off our retreat, we will be lost."" the Captain argued.<br/><br/>In the background, the battle for the airfield was winding down. It had created a racket, of bombs and rifle reports, the only war sounds now that the<i>Aksum</i>and it's Spanish sparring partners had went silent. The tittering of gunfire had been a constant, and its play near the airfield had blended together to make one long roar. Now it was starting to go quiet.<br/><br/>""We draw back, but slowly."" Elias argued. ""Let them to slip further into the city. It will be more dangerous for them there.<br/><br/>""I shut... I shut muhself."" the dying man continued to mutter. She could hear the blood in his voice. Leyla could hardly ignore him. She had seen dozens of men die that day... maybe hundreds. Why was this one effecting her? When a couple of shaggy-haired soldiers came and carried the dying man away, Leyla was relieved.<br/><br/>The Captain nodded and walked off.<br/><br/>Elias looked tired. She could see it in his eyes, drooping and bloodshot. His skin was covered in the same grey film that covered all of them - a mix of gun-smoke and pulverized cement. It covered their skin, and made their black Walinzi uniforms look grey. Elias' hair, so often well groomed, was a greasy tangle. She hated to think how she looked<br/><br/>""Is there any way you can get some sleep?"" she asked,<br/><br/>Elias shook his head. ""I don't know that they will be able to do anything tonight."" he answered. ""It is dark, and the city is still mostly ours. Hopefully, they won't risk what they do not have to.""<br/><br/>""What does that mean?"" she asked.<br/><br/>Elias took a deep breath. ""We can work through the night. Give Ras Hassan all the time he can use. I hear he is going to turn the highlands into a fortress..."" his eyes went glassy as he looked south. Stress was eating at him. So much had been put on their shoulders. The fate of a continent, and of the race that called it home, rested entirely in their hands.<br/><br/>In the background, scattered gunfire cracked through the air. A sour-smelling breeze wafted through the remaining cement and stone hulks left behind by the ruined buildings. It was warm, and the dust it carried grated against her skin. Adrenaline was wearing down, and she could feel herself becoming tired. There was a subtle blur in her vision, and her skin felt clammy. It was no time for sleep, though. Elias was right in this.<br/><br/>Their work had slowed. There were only a few buildings left on the ocean front, and they were hardly large enough to send into the canal. They had held off sinking the Aksum, using it as a threat to keep Spaniard cautious in their approach. In some places, soldiers had been tasked with bringing metal debris to the canal and boating it to the center to be sunk. Elias had lamented the fact that they had no divers to anchor the it in place.<br/><br/>Through the thin haze of battle-fog, the moon was starting to take the sky. Elias and Leyla walked silently toward the canal. Behind them, where the fighting trickled on, the rare explosion would catch her attention. She would look back toward the airport. Fires burned a dull orange, as if the final touch of a sunset surrounded them at all sides. Flashed of red flared up where mortars were still in use. Even in this lull in the fighting, the battle was still alive.<br/><br/>Small trucks delivered metal debris of all kinds, most of it big. Leyla watched as soldiers unloaded a twisted metal beam, half the length of the vehicle that had delivered it. They helped it into a commandeered fishing boat, where two Walinzi agents finagled it into a comfortable position. Elias pulled a small flashlight from his coat. When it clicked on, its beam joined several others.<br/><br/>A rumble distracted them from the other side of the river. Another controlled demolition. Smoke bellowed out in thick pillowy clouds as a thick minaret tumbled into the canal. Ancient stone struck the water with a splash.<br/><br/>Elias chuckled. ""That isn't going to make us friends."" he said. For a short moment, she felt as if they were back on mission in Armenia, making jokes as they observed people on the street, preparing their report for their old director, Amare Debir. She thought about the last time she was him, on the shores of Pontus, surrounded by braying baby goats. That had been before Constantinople, where she had killed the Ottoman Sultan and ended one of the oldest powers in Europe. Had Amare survived the chaos that followed? Had he safely made it wherever he meant to go?<br/><br/>They climbed into a second boat. Elias handed Leyla an oar, and they gently stirred into the canal. Cool air hung close to the calm black-green water, and her hands began to feel chilly. A wooden plank was floating nearby, splintered on both ends and soaked dark. It made her wonder how safe this venture was. On shore, men talked under their breaths. Leyla could not hear them over the sound of their truck's idle rumble.<br/><br/>The twisted steel beam was long enough to span two boats. Leyla watched the boat behind them carefully, keeping in line with it as much as she could. Elias held the front of the beam on his shoulder, his knee pressed against a bench for balance. She glanced at it. The steel was corkscrewed and charred, and it was bent the center so that it was not straight. Would it even matter? As far as she could tell, it would be a waste of time. The agents in the second boat carried with them a buoy to tie to the beam so that it would float. In Leyla's mind, it wouldn't matter. It was simple debris, and it would be pushed away.<br/><br/>What were they doing?<br/><br/>She payed attention to the battle behind them. It sounded like it might be picking up. Were the Spanish launching another attack? She considered that sound must carry better out here in the open water. Still, she glanced back. An orange fire-glow filled the city, peppered with the strobe flashing of combat from the direction of the airport. The possibility of an offense while they were in the open water made her paranoid. She subtly began to row faster.<br/><br/>They passed a mine. It was a spiked metal ball, bobbing quietly in the water. They had laid many of its kind throughout the canal. To hit even just one could potentially devastate the Spanish advance. Even in the widest parts of the canal, such a thing would slow their advance by days. Every hour counted. The longer it took, the more ordinance was moved into the mountains of Ethiopia. Time allowed more men to enter the army, for the fever of anti-Spanish sentiment to spread, and for more war drums to sound across the continent. She imagined elders talking to their sons about their own glory days. Stories of Belgians in the Congo, and Brits in Somalia. And of course, stories remembered from when they were boys, told to them by the elders of their youth about the time when the African King surprised the world and brought the white men of Italy to their knees in the same passes that Hassan now fortified. Young men were hearing all these stories now, and they were working their blood hot. When the Spanish landed, there would be a rifle behind every tree, and a machete behind every bush.<br/><br/>They came to the center of the canal. As the men began to work, she watched the ENS Aksum. It was a dark mask of shadowed steel, showing only the thin dance of water reflections and a few dull orange glows mirrored from the city. The Aksum had been silent for some time. Leyla did not know if it had ran out of ammo, or if it was only saving what it still had left. The one thing that comforted her was that there was no way she could imagine its part of the mission failing. How could the Spanish possibly get it out of the way without it sinking and blocking their path? Even if she died here, at least her death would have helped to accomplish that much.<br/><br/>The metal beam stabbed into the water with a muffled splash. She watched as it bobbed back and forth, suspended by a buoy. It jabbed up, passing within a few inches of Elias' head. He dodged, and motioned for her to row. She questioned what they were doing again. How could this not be a waste of manpower? If Elias had been struck by the beam, and if he would have died from it, how idiotic would that have been? A casualty without sacrifice. A vain waste of time.<br/><br/>They rowed back to shore, watching the glowing fires of the battle beyond. Was it getting closer? Anxiety began to bloom inside her. When she saw the men waiting on the shore, waving their hands to get their attention, she knew something was wrong. She felt exposed on the water. If they came within the aim of enemy guns, they be open targets. She scanned the shoreline, looking for any evidence of Spaniards. The time it took to reach land seemed agonizingly long, and when they came ashore, she heard the news that she had been afraid to hear.<br/><br/>""Agents."" a soldier grunted, ""We have a new trouble."""
22058,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-16 23:24:00,RisenDead,"Port Said, Egypt<br/><br/>The sun had begun to set when the first reinforcements for the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>came ashore, moving up through the bodies scattered across the beach and through the burning remains of the Egyptian and Ethiopian defenders of the airport. They were parceled out where possibly, bringing the 109th strength back up to what one might consider fighting fit. Already those who had fired shots in anger looked down on these new arrivals as “new blood”.<br/><br/>For the newly promoted Sergeant Delgado it meant new orders. He had been summoned to the command post set up in the airports old terminal. The building, as he approached, was a bombed out shell. Miraculously, the control tower still stood despite previous shelling by the Spanish and now sporadic mortaring by the Ethiopian forces.<br/><br/>The jeep dropped him off at the front of the building and he was waved inside by a burly officer in the uniform of the Spanish regular army. His epaulets told Delgado that the man was a major, though he did not recognize the unit insignia. Though, if he was honest with himself, he knew virtually nothing about the Spanish army.<br/><br/>His boots crunched on broken glass and scattered bits of roof tiling as he walked into the building. Rows of empty seats vanished into the fading light on either side of him, the once blue plastic buckets now coated in a thick layer of dust. Shops lay empty, long looted, the security gates lying in ruined heaps on either side of gaping entrances. There were no bodies to be seen but pools of dark dried blood gave testament to the battle that had raged here only a few short hours before.<br/><br/>He stepped over a crumpled mass of steel that had collapsed from the ceiling and into what had once been a food court. The vendors were empty and quiet but the reinforced concrete ceiling gave the assembled officers somewhere relatively safe to hold their meeting. They were gathered around a small table, one left from the food court furniture, and many of them were seated in the almost comically small chairs so common in airports.<br/><br/>They nodded at his approach and few offered him tense smiles. A far cry from the disdain he would have earned from them the day before. Mohammad was already there, his face the only non-white in the group and his smile was broad and genuine. The two<i>Brigada Internacional</i>sergeants were the only ones with any sign of recent battle on their uniforms, the rest of the assembled officers and sergeants were all Spanish regulars who had evidently just landed, or avoided the fighting.<br/><br/>“Welcome Sergeant.” The ranking officer, a Colonel by the looks of it, greeted Delgado as he strode up. “My congratulations on an outstanding offense. I understand your promotion is well merited and certainly deserving of a medal.”<br/><br/>“Thank you sir.” Delgado said with a slight incline of his head.<br/><br/>“It is this bravery that I am going to call upon again. I have to confess that we did not expect you attack to be so successful so our regular troops are still heading ashore so we are going to send you onwards again.” He stabbed a finger onto the map in front of him. “The Navy has reported Ethiopian troops and militia are trying to make the Suez unusable for our ships and we need to put an end to that immediately.”<br/><br/>The finger moved to the airport, then jabbed at Delgado as the Colonel continued to speak. “We need to force the Western edge of the airport and move on the Canal, as quickly and quietly as possible. I need the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>to move out within the hour and move as quickly, and as quietly as possible, through the city to engage those enemy forces trying to block the Canal.”<br/><br/>Delgado had to suppress a grunt of disbelief as he stared at the Colonel. The other mans eyes were intense, almost pleading, as he stared back. Sweat was trickling down from under his helmet and it took Delgado a moment to realize that this Colonel was afraid. Not perhaps for his own life, but certainly of failing his superiors in what was obviously a vital part of the operation.<br/><br/>“Can we count on support from the regular army and naval elements?” Delgado asked. He knew virtually nothing about large scale operations but he had an uncle in the Argentine army who allowed him to join him at the officers’ mess from time to time and he had picked up a smattering of knowledge from listening to them.<br/><br/>“As much as we can give.” Responded the Colonel. He was looking at the map and Delgado could see small marks denoting the locations of the ENS ASKUM and the Spanish fleet where they were trapped into the Canal.<br/><br/>“A night attack with inexperienced troops, this hardly seems like a well thought out plan.” Mohammad had spoken up. His accent was tinged slightly, betraying his Moroccan heritage and several of the officers glared at him, clearly resenting the presence of the black man, let alone his questions. To everyone’s surprise the Colonel did not get angry. Instead he sighed, and his shoulders slumped slightly.<br/><br/>“You’re right Sergeant, it is not a great plan, but at the moment it is I the only plan we have. The<i>Brigada Internacional</i>has been decimated, I know, in fact you only have one senior officer left. But for this fight I don’t want fancy thinking or pretty tactics, I just want you to reach the Canal and put an end to the Ethiopian efforts to block it. I need men of action who can get this done no matter what it takes, have I got those men?”<br/><br/>He looked from Mohammad to Delgado who, after a moment, nodded. “Good.” Said the Colonel. “You have four hundred or so able bodied men, each of you will take two hundred. Go fast, go hard, and take no prisoners, we don’t have time to guard them. Regular troops will continue the attack behind you to clear the areas you pass through. I don’t care how you do it, or how you get there, just fucking do it.”<br/><br/>There was a soldier standing to one side with a pair of back packs and he stepped forward at the Colonels wave and handed one to each Sergeant. Delgado opened his to find a flare pistol and a collection of flares, red, green and yellow.<br/><br/>“The red will light the sky for you, yellow will burn on contact, fire them at enemy positions you want the Navy to bombard. The green will denote a friendly position, be careful with their use, they’re all I have. I scrounged them from the helicopters that are coming in and stole a few from the Navy.”<br/><br/>The two Sergeants, thusly dismissed, turned and hurried from the terminal towards the jeep that still idled out on the tarmac. They climbed into the back seat, the stench of violent death and burning floating to them on the westward breeze.<br/><br/>“I think this may be a suicide mission.” Mohammad commented as the jeeps tires squealed on the tarmac and rushed towards the distant eastern edge of the airport.<br/><br/>“Fuck them.” Delgado said casually. “They’re desperate and like it or not, we have to prove ourselves to the Spanish so let’s do it. We may not be an elite unit but we can be.”<br/><br/>Nothing else was said as they raced across the tarmac, the wind plucking at their hair, each man trying to pretend he was no exhausted as his eyes drooped and their heads bobbed along with the motion of the jeep.<br/><br/>They came to a halt in front of the exhausted<i>Brigada Internacional</i>, the men were scattered about in some long grass, most of them curled up sleeping or smoking quietly. Some stuck up their heads as the jeep arrived, even more sitting up another three jeeps arrived, loaded to the gills with grenades and ammunition. Those who did not wake were soon roused by a gentle prod in their backs. They quickly made a semi-circle around the two Sergeants and more than a few had the faraway look of men who know they were not done yet.<br/><br/>“Gentlemen, we’ve been asked to move out. It seems that the Navy can’t sort its own shit out and we are going to have to pick up their skirts for them.” Delgado spoke loudly and more than a few chuckled at the mention of the uselessness of the Navy. It wasn’t strictly true but nothing brought men together more effectively than a mutual scorn of something else. “We are moving out in 30 minutes to move fast and hard towards the Canal. We are not taking prisoners. Rearm yourselves, get some food and water in you, and make sure your bayonets are sharp. That is all.”<br/><br/>The men fell out with little comment, reaching out to take the ammunition from the Spanish soldiers who are brought it. For the first time since he had joined the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>Delgado saw something that made him smile slightly. The irregular soldiers were treating the regular Spanish soldiers with the same disdain they had experienced only 24 hours before. They were the ones who had paid with blood, their uniforms bearing testament to the struggles they had seen. They were becoming more than a scared misfit collection of men, they were becoming soldiers."
22059,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-17 01:41:00,Byrd Man,"<b>Hartwell, GA</b><br/><br/>Russell Reed sat on his deck overlooking Lake Hartwell with a drink in hand. He grew up not far from here in Lavonia, the only son of an upper middle class family. His daddy was a banker who dabbled in politics and fancied himself as something of a kingmaker in Franklin County. He found out the truth when he tried a run at the state legislature. The men who took Jonathan Reed’s money hand over fist were not pleased to see him actually enter a race. He was slandered throughout Franklin County as a man who cared for nothing but cash, they said once he was in the state house he would work with the big interest to take farmer’s land, they said he had changed his name and was actually Jewish. Who, they asked, would vote for a greedy Jew in the pocket of big business? When Election Day came, Jonathan Reed only got five percent of the vote and retired from politics all together. For ten year old Russell, the lessons his father’s failed campaign taught him were extremely valuable.<br/><br/>At twenty-five Russell beat a six man field and was elected to Georgia’s Ninth Congressional District. The victory was the result of nearly six years of hard work, Russell traveling around the district and meeting people. He talked not to the old pols that ran the counties, but the people on the outs with them and the young ones eager for their shot. Five years consolidating power and votes in the district laid the groundwork for an organization that would one day spread around the state. The organization and Russell campaigned tirelessly day and night across the district, any place where a registered voter might be he went out and met them. He refuted the old claims of his Jewish blood, showing a crowd in Habersham his family tree traced all the way back to England.<br/><br/>Twenty years in congress, twenty years climbing the rungs of the ladder while his statewide influence grew. Russell started to run unopposed after his third reelection to office, the opposition in the Ninth gave up. He was elected Speaker of the House just as civil war broke out, the old fault lines of north and south ripping apart into a new conflict. Unlike most of his southern brethren, Russell stayed in DC and continued to act as Speaker through the war. He knew the war would be temporary, but the gavel was something he had wanted his entire life. Five years later he was proved right when the south was brought back into the fold. Soon after he announced his intention to run for the Senate and faced an uphill battle. The people of Georgia called him traitor and Yankee sympathizer, the old Jew claims were brought back with a vengeance. What the people of Georgia didn’t count on was the loyalty of his organization, the men he had cajoled and horse-traded with for over twenty years, the men who proved they would do what it took for Russell. With a razor thin margin of just a thousand votes, he was elected into the Senate. From there the journey repeated itself.<br/><br/>Now Russell was majority leader of that body. He ran the old chamber with an iron fist. That institution that for so long was seen as inept and slow moving now ran like a well-oiled machine. He used his gifts for politicking and manipulation to get the ninety-five other men under his control. Where Jonathan Reed had failed miserably under the misguided notion that he was a kingmaker, Russell was king. And he was just on the second leg of his journey. This plan was something hatched long ago, something he never spoke about aloud with anyone. Slowly but surely he had been acquiring contacts across the country, men who could control and influence delegates and electoral votes. In the Midwest and small pockets in the northeast they were working for him. Depending on how the meeting he had scheduled today went, he could use those men as both weapon and bargaining tool.<br/><br/>“Senator, sir?”<br/><br/>Willy, Russell’s assistant, stood at the edge of the deck with his arms behind his back. Russell stood and nodded to Willy, his signal for the younger man to leave. Behind Willy stood the impressive figure of Michael Norman, all medals and stars. The general wore his military uniform with the cluster of five stars on the shoulder and rows of ribbons and medals on his chest. For his part, Russell wore khaki pants and a button-up shirt.<br/><br/>“General,” Russell said with a smile. “Welcome to my home. Won’t you have a seat?”<br/><br/>Norman took a chair next to Russell and looked out at the lake, commenting on the impressive view and lovely house. A moment later Willy appeared at their side, passing the general a drink. Russell sent Willy away again and watched Norman sip his beverage.<br/><br/>“General, I want to congratulate you on that magnificent performance last week in Washington. You held the whole world in the palm of your hands and managed to bring some sanity back to the situation.”<br/><br/>Russell had watched from outside DC, watching on the television as they showed Norman walking into the city, alone and unarmed to speak to the rogue military men who occupied it. The country watched all night, waiting for news before he emerged just before noon the next day with the soldiers withdrawing from Washington and allowing free elections to take place without force.<br/><br/>“Thank you, senator. Sending in more troops would have just escalated it. What those men in Washington needed was to listen to reason.”<br/><br/>“Mmm,” Russell said with a mouthful of bourbon. He swallowed it and looked towards Norman. “And I bet they also needed a candidate, someone who would listen to their needs. Someone who can sympathize with their position, someone who shares their same background.”<br/><br/>He smiled when he saw Norman shifting uncomfortably in his seat.<br/><br/>“When do you announce your candidacy, General?”<br/><br/>“Soon. Within the next few weeks at the earliest and a month before the convention at the latest. Running was something I had been considering, but recent events forced my hand.”<br/><br/>Russell nodded and took another sip of his drink. He knew what was coming next, but he couldn’t prompt Norman. That was the way he handled favors. He would not suggest or propose. If someone wanted something from him it was their job to ask. No, the general had to ask himself.<br/><br/>“If I want this to succeed I’ll need your help, senator.”<br/><br/>“What do you need from me?”<br/><br/>“Several things. I need the south in my corner if I plan on making a serious run for the White House. I’m experienced in military politics, but I’m a novice in other political arenas. I need your help in courting delegates and political bosses.”<br/><br/>“Why do you need my help with delegates? You’re Michael Norman, war hero and now peacetime hero. You’re from the south.”<br/><br/>“I’m from Virginia, but to a farmer from Alabama that may as well be Boston. My political agenda could ruffle many feathers in the south, civil rights chief among those items. I can get votes across the country, but I need the south to stay solid for me, and I need you to do it.”<br/><br/>“The quid pro quo, General? A cabinet post?”<br/><br/>“Vice president.”<br/><br/>Russell scoffed and took another sip.<br/><br/>“I think it was Daniel Webster who was offered the same role and said ‘I don’t propose to be buried until I’m dead.’ Why would I give up all the power I have in the Senate to sit around all day, twiddling my thumbs.”<br/>Norman gently placed his drink on the glass table between the two men and nodded to himself before he spoke.<br/><br/>“I’ve heard of your reputation, senator. The way you can read politicians like an open book. Nobody is better than you are in political warfare. But I also have a talent for reading men, but my battlefield is an actual battlefield. I’ve conducted strategy on a massive scale. I think I can read your intentions and strategy pretty well. You want to be president. You have never stated it, but everyone in Washington knows it’s true. The only problem is where you’re from. Zachary Taylor was the last southern president elected, and that was in 1849. The first civil war caused the streak, and now the second one has caused at least another hundred years before one is elected. I’m from a border state, I fought for the US in both wars, and I can overcome the Southern taint through my record in the war. You can’t, and it doesn’t matter that you were loyal during the war, all that matters is that little GA next to your name on the ballot. Then there's the glamour of running the Senate, or lack thereof. The real poltico insiders know who you are and what you can do, but John Q. Citizen has no idea who you are. Ask ten people on the street who you and they'll all say who? If you’re my vice president you’ll be a key adviser in my administration with a place in the national spotlight. I’m afraid I can’t give you any true power without throwing off the balance of the three branches, but you voice will be heard and you will help make decisions. At the end of my presidency, four years or eight however I feel, you will be the heir apparent with the endorsement of the former president, the Democratic Party’s infrastructure, and your own talents and people at your disposal. Senator, you can’t lose.”<br/><br/>Russell took his time replying, finishing his drink and staring off at the lake in silence while Norman watched him decide. He shook the ice cubes and placed the empty glass on the table before extending a hand to Norman.<br/><br/>“When do we start?”<br/><br/><b>Houston, Texas<br/>Two Months Later</b><br/><br/>Russell leaned back in his seat while the men talked. The six men gathered in the smoky hotel conference room were informally known as the Lords of Texas. They were comprised of media moguls, oil barons, and political bosses who each own their own fiefdom of political power and influence in the state. If anyone running for statewide or federal office in Texas wanted to be taken serious, they needed the support of one of the Lords. What Russell was asking for was support from them all.<br/><br/>“Gentlemen,” he said, holding a hand up to quiet the din. “I don’t like what I’m hearing.”<br/><br/>“Well, that’s your own little wagon,” said one of the men. Jerry “Buck” Buchannan was the undisputed boss of South Texas. Six counties near the border were under his control. They were heavily Mexican and heavily corrupt. They voted how the jefe wanted, as many times as the jefe wanted.<br/><br/>“You shouldn’t have hitched your horse to a goddamn liberal bleeding heart,” said Charles Mayhew, owner of sixteen major papers and television stations across the state.<br/><br/>“We don’t give a flying fuck what he did against Canada. His talk is too socialistic for my taste. I don’t want those goddamn bastards back in control of this country.”<br/><br/>The men broke out into general rabbles of agreement with Mayhew, one after the other rallying against the Norman’s liberal policies. Russell let the men talk while he stood up and fixed himself a glass of water. When he returned to the table, he stood and talked while cradling the glass.<br/><br/>“So, you don’t throw your influence and money into the Norman campaign to elect him president. What you do is throw your influence and money into the Norman campaign to elect me Vice-President. He has given me his assurance and I believe him to be true when he says I will be a key and close advisor in his administration. I can stop him from getting too liberal with his agenda.”<br/><br/>“Seems simpler to me to elect the other fella,” grunted Dallas oilman Pete Smith. “Your promises and assurances won’t be a damn thing if he wins and you and Norman ain't in the White House.”<br/><br/>“Oh, no,” Russell said softly. “You want to do everything in your power to get General Norman in the White House, at the very least do everything in your power to make Texas go his way in the election. Do y’all want to know why?”<br/><br/>He drained the glass of water and held it in his hands as he spoke.<br/><br/>“A Norman loss in the election sends me back to the Senate, back to the spot of majority leader where I can continue to work hard. Where I can work hard on those bills that will help our country so much, bills like the FCC media monopoly bill that will force any one company from owning more than three newspapers, radio, or television stations to sell every media outlet to get them at or below the maximum. The chairman of the FCC was appointed by the Senate, after my approval as Leader of course.”<br/><br/>Mayhew shifted in his seat and played with his necktie while Russell walked around the table. He stopped by Pete Smith and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.<br/><br/>“Or what about that big natural gas pipeline they want to put in Texas, the one that’s going to go all the way to California to provide so many people with good Texas gas? That bill is in committee and a word from me to the chairman, a Democrat who is chairman by my good graces, and it dies in committee like a toddler strangled in the crib.”<br/><br/>Russell took his place back at the head of the table and met Buck Buchanan’s gaze.<br/><br/>“Or the very important work the Justice Department’s doing, investigating voter fraud across the country, and particularly in the South. The steering committee that decides where they go is chaired by my Whip. You see, y’all fail to realize that the power you hold is so delicate.”<br/><br/>He banged the glass on the wood table with a loud thud. It held together and Russell showed it to the men.<br/><br/>“It’ll survive a thud or two, but an all out assault on that structure?”<br/><br/>He snarled and tossed the glass across the table, where it crashed against the far wall and shattered into a dozen pieces.<br/><br/>“You call yourself Lords of Texas, but I am the Lord of the US Senate. If Texas goes to the Republicans, or if Texas goes our way but I still sense anything less than complete devotion to the cause, I will do everything in my power to make sure you all pay.”<br/><br/>Russell took a deep breath and straightened his tie before smiling at the stunned men.<br/><br/>“General Norman’s people will be in touch. Y’all have a good day, and remember to vote Democrat. “<br/><br/><b>Washington DC<br/>Election Day</b><br/><br/>“Repeat after me: I, Michael Benjamin Norman.”<br/><br/>“I, Michael Benjamin Norman—“<br/><br/>“Solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States--”<br/><br/>“Solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States—“<br/><br/>Russell stood off to the side with his wife, watching as Norman took the oath of office. He cut quite a dashing figure, the president-elect with his full head of steely gray hair and tall figure with a rugged jaw line. Like a Hollywood ideal of what a president should look like. He wore a black suit with a blue tie. An American flag pin was on one lapel of his suit, a five-star pin on the other lapel. For his part Russell wore a similar cut suit but with a black tie. He took his oath of office minutes earlier and accepted the polite applause that came from the assembled crowd. Nobody came to see him sworn in.<br/><br/>Norman carried Texas and the entire South all the way up to Maryland. He also took California and the entire West Coast, the Southwest, New York, and the Northeast. If not for Vice President Mitchell's strong Midwestern base, Norman would have won every state's popular vote and electoral college vote. It was the largest presidential margin of victory since James Monroe was reelected unopposed one hundred and sixty years earlier.<br/><br/>“So help me God.“<br/><br/>“So help me God.“<br/><br/>A cheer went out from the nearly one and a half million people gathered at the capitol. President Norman shook hands with the Chief Justice and smiled, hugging his wife and sons before taking to the podium to give his inaugural address. Russell had a hand in the speech he was about to give, but just a slight edification or two. Like that meeting on the lake back in the summer, Russell was slightly surprised at Norman’s speech writing skill. That was the second time he had underestimated the president, something he was learning the hard way not to do. The crowd quieted as Norman looked down at his speech and then back up at the crowd.<br/><br/>“Potential. We are a nation filled to the brim with it. Ever since 1776, it was said that it would only be a matter of time before the United States became one of the great powers of the world. Years of territorial expansion and civil war led to a realization of that dream after the Spanish-American War. We were poised to become one of the greatest nation states of all time, so worried was the rest of Europe they called our country The American Peril… but we faltered. When the world was consumed with war, we turned our backs on our destiny and we have paid the price. Potential has been squandered through mismanagement; potential has been delayed due to threats both foreign and domestic. This nation has been battered by war twice in the last fifty years, two wars I saw the horrors of first hand. Damage has been done, and the scars of internal strife have yet to heal. Only through growth can we heal. This is why we must finally reach out potential, we must finally manifest our destiny, and we must heed the call and take our place on the world stage, a place we have been destined to take for two hundred and four years. We will rebuild this country and set it on a path that will show the world that we are ready to become something more than an also-ran, and the next century to come shall be called the American Century.”<br/><br/>The crowd wildly applauded while the president paused, the supporters behind him rising to give him a standing ovation. Russell was among them, smiling as he clapped his hands and saw the mass of people clapping along with the new president’s agenda, a plan to get the country back on its feet and back on the path that had been laid down so long ago."

They went in small groups, no more than a dozen at a time, using the reeds and ruins as cover as they darted from shadow to shadow. Thankfully the night was mostly dark, the odd cloud parting to allow the moon to show through.<br/><br/>Delgado went first, as they knew he would. He had his rifle slung across his back to prevent the desire of using it until the most dire situation. In his right hand he carried his bayonet, the metal blackened with fire soot until it looked like a billy club. His foot falls were gentle, reminding him of the times he had stalked wild game on his fathers farm. He was amongst those to use the water approach, the most dangerous. He lowered himself ever so gently into the water, wincing as the water reached his groin and then beyond. He was thankful it no more than waist deep and, ducking low amongst the reeds, he moved forward. One by one the dozen men he had selected came after him, their movements in the water hidden by a small wind that came up, causing the lake to ripple of its own accord.<br/><br/>Reeds brushed against his face and chest as he went, the mud sucking at his boots, and on more than one occasion he was forced to pause and yank a boot free, Each time he would pause afterwards, waiting, hoping no one in the enemy held buildings would see him. Those behind him struggled as well and for all he could tell, they were making enough noise to wake the dead but no voices called out, now shots rang into the darkness. All was quiet.<br/><br/>Worry assailed Delgado. What if the enemy knew and was simply waiting until they got close enough to kill them all. He tried to shake the worry but every time the moon came out he froze, expecting the night to come alive with the crack of rifles and the screams of dying men. But the shots never came, no voices called out over the water. Only the wind seemed to be awake, that and the occasional explosion of crack of gunfire from where the Spanish Armada was held up by a bunch of poorly armed Ethiopians and a single warship.<br/><br/>Delgado came at last to the far bank, a place he knew that enemy forces had been spotted by observers as they planned their attack in the brief time given to them. There had been four or five men, all of them trying to keep a keen eye out without becoming sniper bait. He climbed from the water, cringing as the sound of his movement sounded like thunder in his ears. Nothing moved.<br/><br/>His footfalls were careful, the same skills he has used to hunt wild boar as useful against men as it had been then. His men came behind him until all twelve of them were kneeling in the reeds. He looked from left to right as they all nodded to him and then they stole up the bank. The enemy lookouts were still there, indeed they had lit a small fire that was well hidden from any viewers on the Spanish held airfield. Four were sitting quietly, speaking in low whispers, the fifth was keeping a steady lookout, how the advancing<i>Brigada Internacional</i>had not been spotted he would never know. He waved his blade forward and they went forward like wraiths. There was a brief struggle, sound of blades pricing flesh and then the smell of blood was rich in the night.<br/><br/>Moments later the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>was moving swiftly into the ruins of Port Said. Those who had never killed a man less than a few hours before were now learning how to do it with a knife, learning the weak spots in a man so that he might be killed swiftly before he could give the alarm. They did not spread out but moved in a path no more than fifty yards wide, slaughtering their way towards the Canal. It was a blood letting like the world had not seen since the Great War. Men struggled and died in a welter of silence and blood. How they made it to the Canal without the alarm being sounded Delgado would never know but suddenly the ground dropped away and the Canal was before them. He could vaguely make out the ships of the Armada to the north, and to the south the Aksum, just on the edge of his sight.<br/><br/>He could see figures rushing about the edge of the Canal and trucks, their lights removed, hurrying up to unload cargo. The majority of his men had arrived, a few had died along the way or been wounded and left to fend of themselves. He crouched, waiting and watching, he hadn't planned for the attack to go so well and was almost unsure of his own intentions now. At last he realized that delaying would only make matters worse and so, taking the flare pistol from his belt he fitted a red flare and then, with a deep breath, he fired it into the air.<br/><br/>The moment he pulled the trigger he knew he'd made a mistake. HIs men were not deployed properly but it was to late for that. The instant the flare went up, all hell broke loose. The<i>Brigada Internacional</i>opened fire on the men and their trucks where they had frozen in the act of dumping more debris into the canal. He fitted another flare and fired, this time a yellow one. It arced away, bouncing off the top of one of the trucks and skittering across the ground. Within moments the reports of Spanish naval guns sounded and shells, sounding like freight trains, trundled overhead and the trucks vanished in massive geysers of earth and fire.<br/><br/>""Begin to advance southwards!"" The<i>Brigada Internacional</i>spread out as best they could and, the element of surprise over, opened fire on everything that moved."
22061,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-18 04:59:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Green Island, launch facility</b><br/><br/>The dull throb in his head was only mildly put off by the view out the conference room window. He could afford to ignore a bit of his annoyance looking out at the ocean and our towards mainland Taiwan. The sky was clear, affording a brilliant spring-time glow to the ocean waves. The water glowed with a bright sapphire glow. The open skies complimenting the color as it opened up above as the water was below. A flat crystal surface sparkled with a diamond shimmer.<br/><br/>A few odd boats traveled the water. Shen Tzen had no hard time guessing the boats. Even over the distance he was from the shore and the altitude above it. The lonesome ferry ships changing out the guard and the shifts from the morning to the afternoon. Distantly behind them, only black commas on the azure sheet of the sea the departing specks of resupply slipped into the distance.<br/><br/>The white trails above of planes swept overhead, no doubt on way to the Philippines most likely, there wasn't much traffic otherwise. The local airforce base kept too close an eye on the surrounding area to allow Japanese or any other international travel go over. So in all possibility it was official or goods transport, something where it didn't matter nearly as much if unchecked persons could see the island below.<br/><br/>But it wasn't like it mattered. To a certain range the navy allowed fishermen close. Especially when it was known or suggested there was to be a rocket launch, even a test flight. And it was this detail that would inevitably arise soon. He knew it.<br/><br/>But the only thing that kept him from total peace was the high-pitched irritability of Hue.<br/><br/>The director of launch control was giving a long enthusiastic presentation on the current flight plan for the coming mission, whenever that was going to be officially marked. For a long time it had been caught on limbo, a situation made worse by the elections on the mainland and the solid insistence of the NPN and some layers of the Grand Secretary's office to delay the launch until, as they said in their own words, “little distraction”. He didn't know if that order was from Hou himself or merely the concerns of an intermediary. Which ever the case it was concern for the Ministry of Science and Technology to petition for a lift on the hold.<br/><br/>Must have worked. The fat and considerably urban representatives from the New People's News were present to hear out the facilities plans and a few unnamed representatives from Beijing. Tzen had gotten no memo on what they wanted him to say, so he figured it was merely to keep up an appearance.<br/><br/>Some day, he'd retire from this bullshit.<br/><br/>Hua had a unique way of speaking that made Tzen particularly annoyed with him. Flamboyant, exaggerated, and loud. There wasn't a doubt half the floor could hear him, let alone the room. The end to each sentence with an excited jab at the last half of any syllable to escape his mouth was much like hammering nails into his temples. He fought to keep a cold face as he looked at everyone else in a dire need to confirm if he wasn't the only one. But seeing the calm unshaken expression of Beijing-trained politicians only made his own mask feel weaker. The ice was breaking, and he didn't know how long it'd be until it shattered. Would they call him dishonorable? It'd certainly be a way to retire from all this, but not nearly the way he'd like to go. He'd at least want a pension to retire on, a promise for an apartment in Shanghai. He wasn't going to be someone riveting steel plates together. Not with the degrees he held; as often as he felt he was asked to go to some other field.<br/><br/>“In the end we're targeting the western Pacific as our re-entry point.” Hua spoke in that agonizing cheery tone, “Which given the angled we programmed into the controls and the average height-range of the test rockets will put us down into the area after its orbit has finished deteriorating and it reenter's Earth atmosphere.<br/><br/>“After which, we should be able to gather it north of the Philippines and bring it – and the test-subject - back home.” if there was any respite though, it was he at least referred to that cat as something less than what it was. Not anything living. Just a subject. Another set of instruments.<br/><br/>“Can we be certain though?” asked one of the representatives. He spoke like he was a bull in season. Hot, aggressive, and challenging. Wrinkled and old he didn't look like he ever slept with a woman since the revolution, which no doubt attributed to his aggressive assertion.<br/><br/>Or perhaps it was just to appear dominant over the general in the room. Their operations commander, Xen Wu. He still operated as an officer in the airforce, having dual command of the installation on the island as well as keeping all the engineers and scientists on the island in a single basket, which wasn't as easy as it seemed; they had a habit of being more undisciplined and disorganized than soldiers. It was a fact of his position that was visible on him, despite being perhaps half the age of the representatives present his hair looked lighter in color, finer lines rung around his shallow eyes, and an otherwise round frame a little bent out of shape.<br/><br/>“I've been assured every possible factor has been included to present the best possible outcome in retrieving the craft.” Wu spoke. He didn't present to assert himself. His white coat, sword at his side, and mere presence was enough for the men from Beijing. “We've got the final pod equipped with several radio transmitters, we'll be able to triangulate its position easily enough. But as I've also been constantly reminded – and against our organization's general philosophy – there is always an element of luck we need to account for.<br/><br/>“I'm looking to coordinate with the navy beyond the simple coast guard stationed here to run a larger range in the event something goes wrong. I hope we'll be ready to sail on the border of Japanese waters, or even into it if need be to retrieve the capsule.<br/><br/>“We fully understand the risks and the mission and made doubly sure to accommodate for anything. If it was in reason I would request submarines on the absurd chance the Japanese commit hostile action to retrieve the craft. Or even the Spanish.”<br/><br/>The room mumbled nervously. A few subdued spits of anger were had among the heads. But for most, they kept silent. To Tseng's relief.<br/><br/>“Will this interfere on election reporting, or even war reporting?” the representatives asked.<br/><br/>“Current NPN viewer and reader polls only put election interest at thirty percent right now.” the reporter from the NPN acknowledged, speaking up for the first time, “And we've only got really minor concern over Africa. We've got no survey results but I'd guess we got only ten-precent really giving a shit right now.<br/><br/>“Our biggest coverage concern now is Russia. But we've actually got people dying in that right now, it's only natural we're more afraid of the Russian effort turning back than drum-beaters fighting the Europeans.”<br/><br/>“Nonsense, we do care!” spat one of the representatives, “If the Spanish get a head in Africa then we might as well buckle the Revolution down and hold fast, they're coming for us next!”<br/><br/>“Well it's certainly not in the interests of many right now.” the reporter shrugged.<br/><br/>“Nonsense, you're the conduit of information so you make them care!” demanded the politician<br/><br/>“Comrades, let's not derail the conference.” Wu ordered.<br/><br/>“I agree.” Tseng mumbled under his breath. He closed his eyes and silently thanked someone – anyone – for a little bit of sense in the room today.<br/><br/>“Never the less, on the terms of coverage of a launch I recognize no need to hold it off. We're ready when this is and we'll be there.”<br/><br/>“We were really hoping for a early-July launch.” Hue said excitedly, perhaps speaking out of his turn. But Wu didn't seem to care, he let him have the floor, “Between us, perhaps the third of next month? Or the end of the week this month! We're set, all that needs to be done is some final adjustments and some last-key inspections on the physical launch craft and we can do it, it won't take any more than a week on our end.”<br/><br/>“I guess if it's inevitable,” one of the politicians nodded, “we can let it go ahead. I'll sign the papers when I get home and we'll issue the official orders then. You – and the NPN – can act as you please then.”<br/><br/>“So it's settled?” Wu asked.<br/><br/>“We'll see.”<br/><br/><b>Countryside outside of Shenzhen</b><br/><br/>The thunder of the engine motor was more that of a usual truck, but less than a full earthquake. The cabin rattled violently as the motor made each powerful heavy turn. It was most heavily centered on the backseat, where it felt a horde of riders was trampling the ground. The thunderous hooves beating the soft earth and making everything roll, body included. If it wasn't for the seat belts hugging their chests, then there was a heavy fear that what Pui Tui had made was going to throw them onto the floor.<br/><br/>Yan Cong was particularly unimpressed. His frail frame already felt ready built to slip through most restraints. His face was bent in fear as he held on tight to the seat belts, cursing the day he failed to convince his friend in getting rid of the engine he'd somehow managed to rig on the truck body. It was either a homage to the young boy's technical skills, or simply the vanilla abilities of a army surplus Tei-Gui engine. It was probably both, and holding on as they wound through the hills of southern Guangdong.<br/><br/>Alongside him sat Jin Feng, trying to lean against the window frame. Despite the heavily jostling of the entire body she looked to be taking amusement from this. Her pale skin shone in the rainy light and a pale-yellow cheongsam hugged her figure. Hardly formal, it didn't cling nearly as tight as the rest, and was decorated by a wool scarf she hung wrapped around her neck. Unsurprisingly for the oil-haired young girl her dress did little to hide the movement of her breasts in the shaking home-engineered truck.<br/><br/>Embarrassingly, the adolescent thoughts of what it'd take to see the women in his life naked drew up into his mind. It made him hotter and sweater than he needed to be, and if she looked to the side he was afraid of what she might see. Holding back a breath he turned to look down the road ahead, fighting to stuff away his fantasies for another night. But the tense feeling that clenched his gut did not so easily retreat, it made him feel almost sea-sick.<br/><br/>Outside the rain fell in buckets over the countryside. To either side of the lumbering truck long sweeping hills marched off into the countryside under a canopy of thick gray clouds. Drops of waters the size of duck eggs smashed themselves against the windshield. Wipers tried desperately to keep pace with the falling rain, but their slow languid pace was hardly enough.<br/><br/>Yan Cong was a sturdily built youth. Not much older than he was, and the only one in his small circle of friends who could drive. And he liked to prove that consistently. And lately, with the completion of this monster he more energetically sought ways to prove it harder. He claimed to have already ran one race with it out here, and he wasn't about to let go of another chance. Meetings were final.<br/><br/>Pui Tui hung himself over the steering wheel, his narrow eyes squinting out through the rain from a wide, broad forehead. Knuckled heavy and scarred over from being knocked against the metal of engine blocks and automobile frames held the steering wheel in vice-like grips, the bones shown through in a solid-white glow. His back craned out through his white shirt as he pressed his face all too close to the top of the steering wheel, helping him to keep a struggling view on the winding hillside country roads.<br/><br/>He couldn't see them, not from fighting to keep himself on the plastic leather seats of his friend's monster or through Feng's tight dancing breasts. But he knew at the bottom there were thick columns of closely grown trees waiting to snag them in their fingers if they slid off the wet road. Cong might get out OK, but given the powerhouse of Tui's truck he imagined he wouldn't get out so easily. Someone was bound to be looking for the<i>thing</i>powering this from the back, from behind a guarding of wooden planks and a heavy tarp pulled over top.<br/><br/>If anyone wondered, he was transporting service supplies. He learned that fast, and no one pressed further.<br/><br/>On the radio – another implement Tui had somehow rigged into the central console – the news droned on. They would have sought out music, but given the weather and the current terrain it seemed even the music stations from within Hong Kong could only cover the city itself, never mind the islands. News – even provincial – was the most reliable source of noise.<br/><br/>In today's news, some bored droning reporter discussed the events in Africa, somehow seamlessly transitioning from that to the elections. Then to the continuing implications of the autonomy zone act, and its unfolding implications. Plans to form a Cantonese Congress here in Guangdong and the plans to submit the application to Beijing by August. As well, mention about breaking that down more for Hong Kong autonomy demands.<br/><br/>Another of Cong's friends – Mei Hsiue Mei – was loosely involved in something similar. Or at least he remembered her parents discussing something similar in hushed tones. They lived as bureaucrats to the city of Hong Kong, and he wondered lately if they all were looking for an avenue for more power. But it wasn't his place to wonder, and he wondered if Mei herself was aware of what was going on anymore. She seemed to becoming more distant now, or something. She declined to join them, which was to him concerning. But Feng didn't seem to mind, and Tui would no doubt excitedly fill her in over lunch in any case, to her pretended enthusiasm.<br/><br/>The truck rumbled along through the hills, turning corners as it went. Rain pounded over head, running rivers down the windshield and windows. A distant crack of thunder rolled in the air outside, barely audible over the competing rumble of the engine and the talk radio.<br/><br/>Turning through the bends the terrain leveled out. Through the rain soaked windshield and the brushing of the whippers a small house appeared in the near distance. Surrounded by a number of small bushy trees it stood lit up in the distant field off the side of the road. Around it sat parked a number of cars. Several looked modified as Tui's, if in subtle ways to keep the attention of the police at bay.<br/><br/>“Tui, do you really want to do this. It's raining pretty hard.” Cong said concernedly. His voice trembled in time with the engine at his back.<br/><br/>“Yea!” Tui smiled, “Besides, it could be worse.”<br/><br/>Worse? How could it be worse? “Tui, look at the way you're staring out that windshield? How could it be worse!?”<br/><br/>“Could be snowing.” the youth said with a cocky grin, not knowing anything of value when it comes to snow.<br/><br/>“I don't know, I think it could be pretty exciting!” Feng said from the window. She looked over at her struggling friend as he hung to the strap on his chest. He was so thrown forward his knees were pressed up to the center console, his ass at the edge of the seat. It was a terribly awkward position to be in.<br/><br/>“You're not helping.” Cong groaned. He felt his heart hammer at his chest, and he didn't know why. Which only made it worse. His terrifyingly skinny body wormed back up the seat to give him a view out the front. As Tui was pulling into the house's muddied yard.<br/><br/>The sound of the engine died off as Tui put it in park, letting it idle as he peered out onto the wooden veranda that encased the entire outside of the small wooden home. Wooden boards swept off from the roof like wings to two sides, leaving an overhanging awning over the front porch. From inside dark shapes moved in the glow of lamplights. The front door opened up, letting out a heavyset man.<br/><br/>He seemed to loiter a bit, smoking a cigarette as he looked at the truck of youths. He was maybe roughly ten years older than the lot of them, well into marching into his thirties perhaps. Through the water-choked window he and Tui exchanged long stares, before with a heavy wave he beckoned them out.<br/><br/>“Alright, we're good.” Tui said, popping open the door of the truck, leaving the engine idle.<br/><br/>“Tui, what do you mean?” Cong said, satartled, “Cong, I know what you do isn't exactly<i>legal</i>, but how deep are we going?”<br/><br/>“It's just street racing, it doesn't matter.” the white-shirted grease monkey grinned through the open door. Feng was already working her way out, throwing the scarf over her head to shield herself from the heavy rain.<br/><br/>Groaning, Cong slid himself out of the seat and followed suit. His feet splashing in the thick mud as he exited the rumbling vehicle, and with a dash joined his friends on the porch with the smoking muscle-bound stranger.<br/><br/>By the time he hit the porch, he already felt soaked head-to-toe. His clothes hung off his small frame. His friends were no worse for wear. Feng though save in part by the scarf. Smiling smugly, she pulled it off her head, and carefully wrung out the rainwater.<br/><br/>“Somehow I wasn't expecting you to make it.” their bouncer-that-was said, his voice deep and thunderous. Rain bounded on the wood boards overhead. With an air of paranoia and of caution he looked at the two Tui had brought with him. “Who are these chucklefucks?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Just friends...” Tui said, there was an air of nervousness to his voice.<br/><br/>The man nodded, taking a draw from the cigarette. Looking from Cong to Feng he nodded, “Alright.” he said, “Neither don't look like police material anyways. This bean sprout over here doesn't even look like he could point a gun anyways.” he said dismissively as he gestured to Cong.<br/><br/>“Anyways, Cashier is waiting for you inside.” the man grunted, flicking his cigarette away, “After that last time he's rather excited. Step in.” he invited, stepping aside.<br/><br/>“Thank you.” Tui bowed with a nervous smile. Scratching at the back of his neck he stepped in, friend's following suit.<br/><br/>The inside of the house carried a heavy reek of cigarette smoke, mingled with that of booze. Someone's cooking loomed heavily in the smokey amber-lit air. The three city youth's shoes thudded wetly on the uncoated wood floorboards as they wound down the narrow hallway, before being let out into a large sitting room.<br/><br/>There in the center a small group sat at a wooden table, playing a round of mahjong poker by the light of a naked hanging lightbulb. The players paused their game to look up at their guests, as well as the spectators. The game soon resumed as one of them mumbled something. And quickly the soft tick of dice hitting the wooden table filled the room.<br/><br/>Worn and stained couches lined the walls, mismatched to any sense of décor. There slouched into the backs sat several more impatiently staring guests. Bottles of beer in their hands, and at least several with knives strapped to their legs. They regarded the newcomers with blank, distant looks. Too disinterested to raise anything further.<br/><br/>“For fucks sake, Tui!” someone barked from the far corner of the room. Cong looked over to see a tall figure jumping up from an arm chair alongside a beaten and scratched radio. One that played no sound, “I was hoping you weren't coming back dammit. You fucking made me loose a bet!”<br/><br/>Laughing, someone else added, “Shit, kid wasn't scarred off!” another exclaimed, “I thought he would have shied out, the way he almost slid off the road and his voice shook when he finished!<br/><br/>The other man was a straight black-haired man. “Lui, you owe me. Pay up!” he heckled.<br/><br/>“Like Hell.” the man by the radio said, Lui. The proposal didn't fly well with his black-haired competitor.<br/><br/>“God dammit, we had a deal!” he bellowed, advancing across the room. The mahjong players stopped their game to look up and watch events unfold. Even the thunder of a fight brought the inanimate figures on the couch to life.<br/><br/>“Piss on the deal, I'm keeping my money, Shou.” Lui spat.<br/><br/>“I'll fucking take your hand!” Shou growled, reaching to the belt of his pants. A long blade flashed in the light as he pulled it out from under his shirt. But even as long as his arm from wrist to elbow, Lui was not phased. It in fact even seemed to encourage him as he marched across the floor to Shou.<br/><br/>“Fucking try it, I'll break that face in.” he sneered.<br/><br/>“Comrades!” a voice roared over the ensuing fight, “Brothers!” it again pleaded. It was soft, its local accent tamed. There was almost something foreign to it. It had a European roll.<br/><br/>The two men froze in their advances. The new speaker continued, “Lui will pay Shou as agreed upon.” it demanded, “Or I'll shoot the two of you and take the money for yourself.”<br/><br/>Cong realized then he wasn't in his natural environment. The stern seriousness of the warning, and the barred knife registering in his brain, he knew he wasn't at home anymore. His breath shuddered in fear, his heart raced excitedly. He even felt light headed.<br/><br/>Fighting back anxious nausea he turned to face who had spoken. In a doorway half-way across the room stood a tall figure, of vaguely European descent. Light brown hair combed across his face. A complimenting mustache pasted to his pale face. He glowered at the two from behind vaguely tear-drop shaped eyes, but bore over everyone in the room a full head at the least.<br/><br/>The two stood back, the knife blade lowered. The man at the door nodded, looking out over the room. “I'll see you two in a minute and sort this mis-communication later.” he growled at the two, eyes settling on Tui he added, “Tui, didn't think I'd see you in. Your friends?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Yes, comrade.” Tui replied.<br/><br/>“I see, they can come in.” he invited, stepping back through the door whence he came. Tui followed, Cong stood by nervously.<br/><br/>He hesitated to follow, but a gentle push from Feng spurned him on. He looked over at her, she smiled back, the red lipstick she wore evident now more so than before. “It'll be fun.” she whispered to him, or mouthed. He couldn't tell, his heart was beating too hard.<br/><br/>Following the man into the side-room the door shut behind them. Muffling what whispers that followed their tails. Stepping to the side, their host walked about the edge of the room, coming to a table drawn up in the center. If not for papers littering the table's surface and the lights in the ceiling, the room was bare.<br/><br/>“I imagine you're here to race again.” the man said, “And who are these two?” he asked, “Family? Girlfriend?”<br/><br/>“No, just a friend of his,” Fend replied gently, cutting Tui off before he could reply, “though if I ever get a craving for dick once in my life, I'll be sure to tell you.” she said with a devlish smile.<br/><br/>The man stared at her stricken. Then slowly his eyes lit up, and a smile crawled across his face as realization dawned on him, “I see how it is.” he laughed, “If I might make my introduction,” he continued; bowing, “if for your benefit. Then I am The Cashier. I ask you refer to me by nothing else.”<br/><br/>“The Cashier?” Cong asked.<br/><br/>The Cashier nodded, taking a seat at his table, “I'll let you know, I was born in Macau. My father was a Portuguese business man. My mother a local well-off woman. Both attended the gambling dens in the city often, at least before the Japanese ended all that when they occupied the city.<br/><br/>“In their hobby's memory,” he said loudly, banging his hands on the table, grinding his palm against the lacquer coating, “and in part their own I have taken up the mantle of the once auspicious title of cashier! I deal with the flow of money here, I handle the bets and settle disputes, and other such methods of obtaining a tax free income.” he smiled as he pushed himself back off the table.<br/><br/>“I have my fees, but winning the pool will often put you well enough over than.” he smiled, nodding to Tui, “He was our last winner here in the hills. I guess the call of a few red paper bills is stronger than most think.” he said laughing. Tui nervously nodded along.<br/><br/>“No need to feign humility!” the cashier boasted, “Sit down, lay your money on the table and I'll add it to the pot.”<br/><br/>Tui complied silently. Digging into his pants to pull out a wad of messy bills. “How much is there?” the cashier asked as he threw down the stack of bills.<br/><br/>“Two hundred.” Tui said, “Half of my earning last time.”<br/><br/>The cashier grinned as he scribbled it down into a ledger, “That's a seven-hundred total now.” he said, closing the book he looked up at them, “Given the weather though, we're waiting. I hope you don't mind.”<br/><br/>“Oh...” Tui nervously said, “Oh, ok.”<br/><br/>The cashier smiled, “No need to be so high strung. Take a breather, have a drink maybe. When the rain lets up today we'll start the games. Coarse is the same.”<br/><br/><b>Nanning, Guangxi</b><br/><br/>A clear warm day dominated the southern capital. Clear skies ruled over head, and the Zuo River glowed with afternoon light. Boats criss-crossed across the river's emerald waters. The distant hills and mountains to the city's south rose to meet the sky with their green crowns. And above the honking of traffic the calls of birds sand in the open air.<br/><br/>Nanning was a sprawling city, but it's scale was much less than that of the administratively focused Beijing. The buildings kept low and sparse, the sky open. Green parks dotted the river city alongside the mighty bridges that swept over the Zuo river. Several sky-rises competed with old pagodas for domination of the skyline of the capital of Guangxi. Lower along the shore old men fishing, and children free of school swam in the cool waters of the gently flowing Zuo while the day was still warm.<br/><br/>High up the embankment of the river-side park stood a stage. At its head stood the minister Zhang Auyi. His white suit shown in the afternoon sun as he smiled for the cameras of the NPN. A gathering had formed around the stage as NPN reporters and people in the crowds shouted him questions. The minister, and Grand Secretary hopeful did his best to answer their questions.<br/><br/>“Auyi, as an acting Grand Secretary how do you propose we pursue the situation in Africa?” a woman in a long blue dress asked, “Some suggest conflict is inevitable, while others suggest we can keep out of it.”<br/><br/>“I feel that we as a nation have a commitment to our partners.” Auyi replied, “Inside and out of the Third International, as very few as there are.” he joked, smiling. The crowd laughed politely, and Auyi continued, “Ethiopia, as a trading partner does deserve interest from us as a people. And the aggression of the Spanish on a sovereign and respectable power as them does demand we take interest. But either committing to joining, or pulling out our interests from the continent are choices that need to be heavily considered, and at this stage the war in Africa is still too young to come to a formal conclusion.”<br/><br/>“You speak of the Comintern, would your decision on partaking in this conflict weigh in as to how the International reacts to Spanish aggression? Can you say as secretary of the International Politburo that there is a decision in the works?”<br/><br/>“There is possibly a call to discuss the ongoing conditions in Ethiopia, and some of my comrades have suggested inviting a delegation from Ethiopia to visit the Seven Nations Pond as guests and to given an account to the Politburo body for a decision.”<br/><br/>“You sit on the chair in the International,” a man from the back of the crowd called out, “do you expect to run both in tandem with each other?”<br/><br/>“Do you mean Grand Secretary and secretary of the international?” Auyi replied, smiling, “No, I do intend to retire the chair to a new candidate. Obviously as well as my seat as Minister of Agriculture and People's affairs.<br/><br/>“I think the Third International has been seen through well enough in its first year, and someone can fill in my vacancy. This'll be initiated on its own election when results from our own is finalized.”<br/><br/>“As for the crisis in Russia, what's the plan there?” a male reporter begged.<br/><br/>“As a neighboring state it is in both the good nature of ourselves and the Russian people to resolve conflict in the former Empire, and to restore the state under a single functional government to become whole again. Chinese involvement in Russia I intend to continue on the pretense of restoring a functional revolutionary government for the benefit of the people, and for the cleansing out of the criminal syndicate known as the Mafiya.<br/><br/>“As some of my running mates have suggested, it would be simply too dangerous to cease assistance to the Siberian people. I may not condone an expansion of the mission in Russia, but I do support the idea of continuing the fight in Russia, for Russians, and for our own honor. Every battle hard won is honor for us both, and one more goal achieved to redefining China as a world powerhouse again.”"
22062,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-18 05:23:00,gorgenmast,"<b>?????</b><br/><br/>They were going South. Julio could see the sun's glare glowing through beneath the hatch separating the cockpit from the cargo bay, indicating that the plane was heading in a southerly direction. The bomber had been airborne for some time now; it had surely covered a great distance by now. Without any landmarks to see outside the windows - all painted over in thick gray paint - Julio could only guess the aircraft's heading and it's location. It had been maybe two hours? Three? Forty-five minutes? He had no concept of time anymore. That unknowable space of time he had spent in Arratzu's walls had ruined his mind's timekeeping ability.<br/><br/>He worried it had done more damage than that. The melange of drugs they injected directly into his brain, that horrible truth serum, very probably had a myriad of deleterious side effects that his interrogator had neglected to warn him of. And what of that antidote, the counter-drug they administered to keep Julio's mind from being destroyed too prematurely? What if that had been administered sloppily by his captors? Could it be possible that trace amounts of the truth serum remained in his very brain, left unchecked to slowly warp his mind until he was left an empty husk, a zombie? He had experienced frequent headaches, inexplicable twinges of stinging in his head, even random spasms of his digits and legs; all things he didn't remember experiencing before Arratzu. He wasn't sure if this was just hypochondria or if his fears of lingering truth serum were justified.<br/><br/>""You were in government."" His neighbor, Joaquin, spoke up, giving Julio a friendly nudge to the elbow. ""Got any ideas where this thing's going? There some sort of secret prison for political prisoners that I'm not aware of?"" He asked in jest.<br/><br/>""South. Maybe West."" Julio spoke up, galvanized out of his anxious thought. He nodded over to the yellow glow of sunlight shining into the fuselage from underneath the cockpit door. ""We're flying into the sun. I imagine we're heading somewhere into the Mediterranean. Portugal, Italy, maybe Malta? Perhaps they've outsourced dedicated facilities for political prisoners to sympathetic countries?""<br/><br/>""Political prisoners?"" Joaquin gasped in sarcastic, pretended surprise. ""I thought we were all here because we had that virus!"" Julio couldn't help but laugh; it was the first time he had laughed in as long as he could remember. Never before had Julio appreciated a sense of humor like Joaquin's, even under such bleak circumstances.<br/><br/>""I remember the voting for the authorization of funding the Ministry of Health's quarantine program. I see now that much of that went to financing the interrogation facilities we saw back at Arratzu. It makes you wonder what else we were bankrolling in the Senate under the guise of seemingly-innocuous legislation; just how many Arratzus we naively allowed to exist.""<br/><br/>""Consider this, if it makes you feel any better. Look around, at all these people on this plane, get a sense of who they had to arrest and lock up back there. You have a<i>few</i>people like you, Senator. People wanting to rock the boat, that really threatened the way things were starting to work in Madrid. It was only natural that they'd come after you. But then you have the other, what, nintety-nine percent of people who are on this plane. People like me who didn't give a shit about the powers that be. People whose regular work and daily routines were such a threat to this delicate order that the powers that be have built up over the years.""<br/><br/>""Our dear Prime Minister, Senor Sotelo, has made way too many enemies too quickly. Both at home and abroad, he's pissed off too many people and he's realized this. Arratzu is a way of disposing anything or anyone that can challenge him; but it's inefficient and sloppy as all Hell. Sooner than later, someone like you - someone who understands that things have to change and drastically at that - is going to catch wind of this. It's inevitable. Someone's going to figure out what Arratzu is, just what this quarantine is actually about, and there's going to be no amount of suppression that will keep the angry masses down. Arratzu is going to be death of that asshole Sotelo and I just wish we could live to see it.""<br/><br/>""What did you actually do to get here?"" Asked Julio. ""What was it you did that was so threatening to the government?""<br/><br/>""I challenged the quarantine orders being procured by the Ministry of Health. You see, I was part of Madrid's Police Department before this whole situation. I discovered that the Ministry of Health was not only issuing quarantine orders, but actually taking these individuals suspected of being infected, all independent of any judge or input from the Ministry of Justice. Naturally, I came to the conclusion that these false arrests and had no legal merit. I spoke with the families and friends of those who were forcibly quarantined, and they couldn't understand why there would be any risk of them possessing that virus... it wasn't long before I was rounded up for<i>quarantine</i>myself.""<br/><br/>Sooner than Joaquin was allowed to continue, the bomber banked sharply and without warning onto its side, jerking the prisoner's down to the Earth to the right side of the fuselage. Prisoners seated in the right half of the cargo bay slammed against the hull as the propellers groaned and protested against the sharp maneuver. Above the anxious whelps and cries of the other passengers, Julio heard an angry hissing from outside the plane building rapidly to crescendo, followed immediately by a jarring blast and the sound of an explosion to the left of the aircraft. The concussive force of the blast rattled the plane to the core, throttling each and every rivet holding the craft together and jostling Julio's insides. Warning beeps from instrumentation in the cockpit complained angrily from the damage the airplane had sustained. An angry, roiling blaze could be heard roaring just outside the left half of the airplane. The propellers choked and groaned against the fire consuming the left engine pods before they surrendered with a popping sputter. Julio's stomach lurched up as he felt the plane begin to lose altitude.<br/><br/>""They shot us down!"" Joaquin exclaimed over the terrified shouts of the fellow prisoners. ""They must have been trying to fly us to China!"" This time, Julio didn't care much for Joaquin's sense of humor. White knuckled hands seized the arms of his seat as he felt the plane tumble lower and lower.<br/><br/>""Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!<i>La Cabeza</i>come in, we are going down!"" He heard shouted from the cockpit.<br/><br/>Julio felt the plane lurch upward one last time, and then another jarring crash as the tail of the aircraft smashed into the ground. A raucous screech rang through the interior of the airplane as the tail dragged across the ground, bringing the plane's belly down with it. The two working propellers on the right wing rattled and screeched as they were halted and ground down upon contact with the Earth. Then the belly hit the Earth in earnest, and the screeching scream of scraping metal was replaced at once by a deep, thunderous, bellowing sound like water being forced out of the way of something moving at tremendous speed. A positively fatal sound - Julio was certain that it would be the last thing he would ever hear. He ducked down into his lap and braced against the sudden impact that would surely end his life.<br/><br/>That impact came with a sudden lurch upward, and threatened to tear Julio out of his seat, but it did not end his life. Instead, it tore the nose of the bomber off of its body, as if it were made from wet paper. Wires and tubing swung down into the fuselage as the cockpit was torn off and shunted under the wing of the plane, eliciting a fresh round of panic and screaming. Before the prisoner's eyes - at least those whose eyes weren't clamped shut in horror - the front of the plane tore open to the world beyond, flooding the dim fuselage with orange light. Many of the blacked-out windows shattered in the crash, flooding the interior with light and dust.<br/><br/>So much dust and sand had poured into the fuselage as the aircraft continued skidding across the land. Julio could feel the plane grinding down to an eventual halt. The plane was twisting around against the wings, but even so, Julio dared not open his eyes. With one final bounce and a slight roll to the port side of the plane, it had at last come to a stop. At last, he opened his eyes tentatively, scarcely able to believe he was still alive. As soon as his eyelids opened, they were filled with dust. The air was completely laden with gritty, yellow airborne dust. He rubbed his eyes to squeeze the errant particles out of his eyes. All around him, the survivors coughed and wheezed as the dust invaded their lungs.<br/><br/>""Look, Senator!"" Julio felt a familiar jab against his shoulder. ""We made it! We made it!"" Julio opened his eyes once again, as instructed. Some of the dust had settled, and he could see through a hazy veil the world beyond the wreckage. Through the hole in the fuselage where the cockpit had once been, Julio saw a trackless sea of sand dune stretching far beyond to a hazy mountain range far in the distance.<br/><br/>""I don't know where the Hell we we are, but it's not Arratzu and it's not wherever it was they were trying to take us. All things considered, I'm pretty pleased.""<br/><br/><b>Airspace over Port Said, Egypt</b><br/><br/>A deep, vibrating rumbling of the four propellers of a<i>Gargola</i>bomber whirling in tandem was all that could be heard in the cargo bay. By the faint light of the fuselage's overhead bulbs, five spectral beings, clad in close-fitting black jumpsuits, picked through a wide assortment of tools and weapons splayed out across the floor of the aircraft in silent diligence. Munitions cartridges, grenades, pliers, screwdrivers, waxy blocks of plastic explosive, detcord, knives of every shape and function, battle dressing, antiseptic, battery packs, and more; every item was thoroughly inspected and placed within a heavy duffelbag. A tool for every conceivable task that their mission might require, and there was a great deal that would be required of them. The Spanish endeavor in Africa could very well hinge on that their success or lack thereof.<br/><br/>It was therefore only natural that the Cazadores would be assigned such a pivotal function.<br/><br/>They were the finest soldiers in the Spanish Army; the most thoroughly-trained warfighters in all the world. Whenever the Spanish Ejercito required a powerful expenditure of force delivered by an exponentially-smaller task force, or when discretion or delicacy was needed, the Cazadores provided the muscle for the diciest, most daring military operations. The training required for each of these five men to take part in this mission was daunting to understate. Brutal tests of endurance, mental stamina, and willpower had to be overcome. A year-long training regimen in the Spanish Pyrenees decimated all but six percent of enlistees. For those that withstood the hazing, for another nine years they were the property of the Spanish military. In exchange for their service, upon the conclusion of their combat career, they were assured handsome pay for the rest of their days. Their immediate families would be compensated, and would never pay a single peseta in taxes for their entire lives. In return, the Cazadores needed only to survive.<br/><br/>Captain Oliviero Jaco had survived. For ten years, he had served in Spain's most esteemed special forces unit. He had seen combat in Puerto Rico, the Tyrrhenian Sea. He had fought socialists in Helsinki and abducted military personnel in the Canadian Yukon. Since 1970, he had been sent the world over to see the will of three Prime Ministers meted out. Jaco's tour of duty was coming to a close. Were the hostilities with Ethiopia a month and a half later in coming to a head, he would be free from ever holding a weapon again. But the War for Africa was underway now, and there was no man more qualified for overseeing this mission, the final mission of his military career.<br/><br/>""Let's wrap up, everyone."" Captain Jaco ordered, standing up and wiggling the duffelbag slung over his chest into a comfortable position. He looked himself over, ensuring the plastic anti-ballistic padding strapped over his jumpsuit was snug. He had become so accustomed to this pre-mission ritual, it was strange knowing that it would be last of his career. His comrades finished their gear inspection and stood up to sling their bags over their chests as well.<br/><br/>""Pilots tell me we're closing on the drop point."" Jaco began, looking about the Cazadores under his command, briefly checking them over to ensure all appeared ready. ""It's a six kilometer drop into an active battle. We'll have the cover of night, and the Armada has leveled any anti-aircraft capacity of hostile forces. That's a good thing, because we've got a small target to land on: one<i>ENS Aksum</i>.""<br/><br/>""How fucked are we if we happen to overshoot our landing?""<br/><br/>""Fairly fucked."" Jaco stated plainly. ""Good thing you won't miss.""<br/><br/>""Understood.""<br/><br/>""From there, we take the bridge and steam out of the canal and bail before the Armada reduces the ship to scrap metal. Any misunderstandings?""<br/><br/>""I hear you're something of a pirate, Captain. This is gonna be the second ship you've commandeered, no?"" One of his companions chimed in.<br/><br/>""Right. I participated at the Battle of the Tyrrhenian Sea. We took the<i>Netunno</i>and landed a hit on a Loyalist destroyer.""<br/><br/>""Sounds like this should be a cakewalk in comparison.""<br/><br/>""Hopefully not. I think we'd be out of a job pretty fast if any of this were easy."" Captain Jaco dismissed as he glanced back to the cockpit and saw the pilot give the signal to prepare to drop. ""Pop the hatch!""<br/><br/>The Cazadores stepped back from the center of the plane as gears beneath their feet winched a retractable door in the belly of the bomber up into the interior. A howling wind invaded the aircraft through the opening in the hull, buffeting them as they stood ready to drop down to the surface. As the bomb bay opened before them, an aerial hellscape burned several miles below. Fires and muzzle flashes demarcated the extent of the land in the encroaching darkness. Islands of clouds glowing blue in the moonlight would occasionally pass between the plane and the ground beneath, making the task of seeking out their target on the surface that much more difficult.<br/><br/>""I can't see a fucking thing for these clouds."" A Cazador huffed as a puffy blue mass passed squarely between the plane and the city.<br/><br/>""Parachutes ready."" Jaco ordered, ignoring the complaint. ""When we pass through the clouds, release the chute. We'll glide around to find the ship if we have to. Stick close. We're not going to miss the<i>Aksum</i>.""<br/><br/>""With all due respect, Captain, I don't like the prospect of spending any more time in the air than we have to above an ongoing battle."" Before the Captain could meet his response, the pilot turned in his seat and gave him a thumbs-up gesture. It was time.<br/><br/>""Safeties off!"" Captain Jaco demanded. ""Jump time!""<br/><br/>Without another word, the Cazadores flipped the safeties off their silencer-equipped carbines and stepped through the bomb bay into the swirling torrent of wind below. After the four others had gone before him, Captain Jaco pencil-dived through the bottom of the airplane and into the night. The howling gust immediately swallowed him and became a fierce buffeting setting every loose flap of his jumpsuit to flutter violently. He took a last glance up at the bomber rising farther and farther above him, watching for a second as the closing bomb bay doors shut out the warm glow of the aircraft's interior. With its strobes shut off, it banked hard and veered back westward toward Malta. They were on their own now.<br/><br/>The Captain redirected his attention back to his comrades, who he could see as faint, black silhouettes racing down into the moonlit cloud rising up to meet them. He locked his legs upright and held his arms against the firearm fighting against its strap to tumble in the wind, continuing his pencil dive and rocketing Earthward to form up with the rest of his squad. No sooner than he had formed up with his comrades, they pierced the upper surface of the cloud and tumbled through a hazy milkbottle for a few seconds. Droplets of moisture collected on his jumpsuit as he sank through the cloud, only to all wick off in the wind as they fell through the cloud's underside. As instructed, the others tore out the cord on their chute packs, instantly unfurling an elliptical gliding parachute. Jaco did the same and felt the familiar, reassuring tug on his back as his own chute deployed. He tugged on a pair of cables that descended from the parachute he dangled from, allowing him to guide his descent and bank to and fro.<br/><br/>Looking down, Jaco saw that they didn't have much more descent to work with. Muzzle flashes flashed in and out of the night less than a thousand feet beneath his legs. He heard mortars whistle through the air and saw the resultant explosions manifest amongst the ruins. His comrade was right to be worried about this stage of the descent. A single stray bullet or mortar shell now would spell disaster for the operation, perhaps the war itself. They needed to get their boots on the<i>Aksum</i>before a lucky Ethiopian bullet found them.<br/><br/>Beneath the Captain's feet, a storm of muzzle flares scattered the night. Their flashes sparkled against the water of the canal, allowing him to orient himself. He banked over to the water's edge and rode the parachute's descend Southward down the canal's extent. There, straddling the canal like an iron colossus, was the<i>Aksum</i>. Spotlights from her fore castle scanned the broken cityscape around it for any sign of Spanish assault. He could see Ethiopians walking around on the deck, or standing guard down below on the edge of the canal. But in the forecastle, framed in the bridge's windows and illuminated by its lighting, were the ship's officers.<br/><br/>With one final tug down on the front of the cables, he guided his descent directly into the glass of the bridge's windows. He could see petrified shock on the face of the captain and his officers as the Cazador sailed out of the night toward them. He leveled his carbine and let loose a volley of bullets from his carbine into the bridge. With a dozen<i>thwips</i>form the silencer-tipped barrel, the bridge's windows fragmented into a series of spiderwebs which shattered effortlessly against his weight as he crashed through the window and tumbled into the bridge amidst a pile of glass shards and Ethiopian officers. The<i>Aksum's</i>captain, reeling from a bullet buried into his arm, reached with his good hand for a pistol holstered on his side. Before he could dispatch the Cazador, a black, gloved hand seized the African by the neck, his spent firearm dangling at his side. He pressed the Captain against the wall and pressed down against his throat with all his might. The Ethiopian fought viciously against his assailant until his windpipe collapsed under the Cazador's vicelike grip. Unceremoniously he allowed the<i>Aksum's</i>captain to tumble to the floor, his face now a dark shade of purple. The bridge was his to command now.<br/><br/>As he made his way to the myriad of consoles at the vessel's helm, he witnessed his comrades come down onto the deck of the<i>Aksum</i>amidst a volley of silent bullets. A hail of lead that was announced by no report, but fell upon the Ethiopian soldiers and clanged and sparked against the steel of the ship all the same. Under their withering fire, the remaining Cazadores touched down on the prow of the vessel. At once, they disconnected themselves from their chutes and took firing positions. Still unsure of what was going on, or even unaware that they were under attack, the Ethiopian soldiers on the bank of the canal came under a hail bullets coming down from the sides of their own warship. It was not long before unsilenced reports responded to the almost-inaudible<i>thwip</i>of the Cazadores' rounds. Even so, many Africans had fallen in the confusion. The first strike had been played out to its full extent, the Ethiopians would now fight fiercely to keep the<i>Aksum</i>or, failing that, scuttle it in the canal. Under the cover of suppressive fire, an entire regiment of Ethiopian soldiers could be seen fighting their way to the ship's gangplank to that end.<br/><br/>On the console beneath him, the Cazador saw the engine's throttle, a sliding lever pivoting about a semicircular base. Seizing the handle, he pushed the throttle as far forward as it could go. Immediately, the engine beneath him rumbled to life as its pistons were infused with diesel lifeblood. The<i>Aksum</i>lurched forward as its propellers cut the water behind it into an angry froth. The gangplank slid out from under the Ethiopians as the ship steamed forward at full speed, spilling them all into the canal below. The anchor bit down into the silty bottom the waterway, but ultimately gave way under the force of the fully-throttled engine. The<i>Aksum</i>charged forward through to the mouth of the canal, into the open maw of the Spanish Armada. With the boarding party put paid, his companions on the deck fanned out toward the superstructure and filed inside.<br/><br/>As the Ethiopian flagship advanced through the canal, it was jarred by a sharp bang ringing against the prow of the vessel, the aft point of the ship shot upward as the vessel literally screeched to a grinding halt. The ship had run aground on the debris planted by the Ethiopians. The Cazador captain pulled back on the throttle and threw the lever into reverse, hoping that the vessel would free itself from whatever obstruction was on the bottom of the canal, even if the propellers were far less powerful in reverse.<br/><br/><i>//Captain.//</i>He heard one of his men call out over the radio headset on his ears.<i>//We've run into a problem down here in the hold.//</i><br/><br/>""I saw. We've run aground on some debris. It's probable the whole canal has been littered with obstructions. It's going to take some time to reverse off of it. In the meantime, we'll need to hold our position and keep hostile forces from attempting to sink this ship, which they will attempt to do now that they have lost control of it.""<br/><br/><i>//No, it's not that. I'm afraid we have another problem.//</i><br/><br/>""And that is?...""<br/><br/><i>//That the ship is rigged to blow.//</i>"
22063,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-19 04:24:00,Byrd Man,"<b>Vancouver</b><br/><br/><i>“We will rebuild this country and set it on a path that will show the world that we are ready to become something more than an also-ran, and the next century to come shall be called the American Century.”</i><br/><br/>Arthur watched the man on the television screen speak to the crowd gathered thousands of miles away. This man, who was now the president of the country he now belonged to, a man he had never voted for would now lead the nation he had never agreed to join. Arthur was just one of a half dozen gathered outside the department store, watching the inaugural address on a bank of black and white televisions. The people running the store had piped the audio out to the street so those without television could watch the historic event.<br/><br/>The applause in Washington started to die down and Norman, the man who invaded Arthur’s country and taken his government away by force, smiled before turning stern.<br/><br/><i>“For the first time in nearly a hundred years, a vast expanse of territory has been gained by the United States. These tracts of land in the northwest, this former North West Coalition, were the site of much suffering in the war. The horrors of war and genocide still hang heavily over the territory and the state of Washington. The people behind the attack in Seattle have been punished for their crimes, those that would attack our country in the most cowardly ways have been put on notice that the events of Seattle must be forgiven, but they must never be forgotten. One of the first acts of this new administration will deal with the former NWC, and I urge Congress to begin deliberation on a resolution that will see the Cascade Territory granted proper statehood. It is my goal to welcome her into the Union before the end of my term in office.“</i><br/><br/>While the crowd in DC let out continued applause, the reaction in front of the Vancouver department store was much different. A few of the people booed, one man spat on the glass window separating the crowd from the televisions. The general went on with more lofty plans for the country but Arthur was no longer listening. He shoved his hands into his pockets and shuffled down the street with the rest of the people going about their day. A semi-truck with a canvas top slowly rolled down the artillery scarred street, careful to avoid the holes in the road. Arthur caught a glimpse of the dozen or so US troops sitting in the back of the truck with their rifles before the vehicle disappeared around a corner. That was just one of the many reminders that the NWC, Arthur refused to call it Cascade, was under military occupation.<br/><br/>There were the pockmarked roads, the buildings damaged by the intense fighting that took place, and of course the queues. There were queues at the stores, queues that ended up with people getting their box of weekly rations before they trudged on home. The NWC had been one of the strongest economic powers in the Americas and now their wealth had been absorbed by the US upon annexation and distributed to the federal government, the NWC’s budget surplus used to prop up the country’s many impoverished states. Arthur’s nation hadn’t lasted long, but it had existed and it was a strong one. Now that country was a thing of the past and it was destined to go down in history as a footnote like the failed Southern secession attempts and the New England Republic.<br/><br/><b>Washington DC</b><br/><br/>All eyes were on President Norman and the First Lady as they had the first dance of the Inaugural Ball. The president wore a tuxedo while his wife of over thirty years wore a cream colored strapless ballgown that was subtle and effective without being too over the top. They glided around the dance floor hand in hand, dancing slowly and lost in the moment. Others began to file out on the dance floor to join the First Couple in the night’s festivities. Russell was not one of those people, and neither was Senator William Robert Dixon. The two old bulls sat together near the back of the ballroom, talking amongst themselves over drinks. Russell held a hand up and waved at his wife as she danced with their son-in-law.<br/><br/>“So, Russ,” Dixon said in his Okie drawl. “I heard an interesting rumor while you were on the campaign trail this summer. It concerned you and those sumbitches that think they run things down in Texas.”<br/><br/>“Well I don’t know what you heard, but all I did was teach them a lesson on where real power lies.”<br/><br/>“Power is where power goes?” Dixon asked with an arched eyebrow. He chuckled when Russell nodded. “And where is power going now, Russ? What kind of power can you possibly hope to mine out of the most powerless job in DC?”<br/><br/>“Look around you, Bill. All eyes are where? Front and center on the president just where I want them. He gets to be the face, I get to be the one who operates in the shadows to get the job done.”<br/><br/>“Power behind the throne,” Dixon’s amused smirk stayed on his face. “Or more like presidential hatchet man? Regardless, that job lasts as long as you stay in Norman’s good graces.”<br/><br/>Russell laughed and took a sip of water. Devil’s advocate was Bill Dixon’s specialty. The two men had operated on opposite sides of the Senate aisle for ten years; Russell was majority leader at the time that the Democrats had a two vote majority in the Senate and Dixon held a large bloc of conservative voters in his pocket. They had worked together and clashed over dozens of issues in the past, but they were both pragmatic when they needed to be.<br/><br/>“Speaking of promotions, I’m surprised you didn’t get the Leader post.”<br/><br/>General Norman’s national appeal had led to a democratic landslide in the presidential race, but the Senate seats up for reelection went in the Republican’s favor and they now had a three seat majority in the Senate. The fact that he would have lost the Leadership was further proof to Russell that he had made the right decision to take the Vice-Presidency.<br/><br/>“It’s just a title. I still have my caucus, more now that we picked up a few seats up in the Northeast. Power is where power goes? Well, I’m staying right where I am and so is my power. I’ll let Kelly play at trying to run the Senate, but I’m gonna make damn sure my people vote the way we need to.”<br/><br/>The question left unsaid between them was how long would Dixon stay where he was. It was only 1980, but 1988wasn’t that far away. Russell knew he was too cautious to run against an incumbent like Norman, especially if Norman was successful in his first term. Running against Norman’s Vice President however could be far easier.<br/><br/>""Within the next few days, the president is going to want to meet with the leaders of Congress about the agenda he wants to set for the upcoming congressional session. Cascade statehood, among other things, will be brought up. Annexation was your baby, Bill, what do you think about statehood?”<br/><br/>“Too soon,” Dixon grunted. “We still got armed forces there occupying the old NWC states. We gotta wait a generation or two before we try to think about statehood, let the wounds heal up some. They’re already pissed at us for annexing them.”<br/><br/>“I bet. Also doesn’t help feelings that NWC United was dissolved by the US and Dixon Oil swooped in to take its place.”<br/><br/>“Yes,” Dixon said impassively. “But at least Dixon Oil is working hard to jumpstart the economy there with jobs and new projects.”<br/><br/>“Indeed,” Russell nodded, “Corporate altruism at its finest.”<br/><br/>Russell stood and held out his hand for Dixon. The two men shook hands quickly and looked each other in the eye.<br/><br/>“Congratulations once again, Mr. Vice President, and best of luck making something relevant out of your office. You’re gonna need it.”<br/><br/><b>Simon Fraser University <br/>Vancouver</b><br/><br/>“Blame Canada.”<br/><br/>A murmur of approval went through the small room. The man behind the lectern was bald with a three day stubble and thick glasses with black plastic frames. The glasses made is blue eyes appear three times larger than they actually were. He tapped the surface of the lectern as he spoke.<br/><br/>“It was their aggressive nature that forced the US’s hand. Blame the NWC, it was our own government’s greed that led to entering the war in the name of grabbing more territory. Blame the upper class; it was their desire to take over the country that led to the genocide in Seattle. One can only sympathize with the US as they invaded us and annexed us as revenge… but that was a different country that annexed us. Where has the Socialism in the United Socialists States gone? Today’s inauguration was proof that the country that now controls our fate is leaving its Socialistic ties behind.”<br/><br/>The professor continued to rail on the values of socialism and why it had worked for the US. Arthur kept his right hand on his chin to keep his head from nodding. He had started out on a good path, but it had gone another way. Arthur cared very little for socialism; the NWC’s government hadn’t been Socialists, they had a government similar to the old US government back before the wars. The professor’s political tract winded on to the point to where Arthur had to leave. He left the lecture hall with his notebook in hand.<br/><br/>“Couldn’t stand it either?” a voice asked from behind.<br/><br/>He turned and saw a man roughly his age wearing a faded olive field jacket and smoking a cigarette. He had a rough beard and a long, curly black hair. He gave Arthur a grin and blew smoke from his mouth while he talked.<br/><br/>“All that socialist bullshit is for the birds.”<br/><br/>“Yeah, I thought he was onto something… but…”<br/><br/>“Say, what do you think about all this shit, the American occupation, annexation?”<br/><br/>“Shit is the right word,” Arthur said with a shrug. “Rans fucked up royally getting involved in the war, and the thing in Seattle was bad… but annexation? For what exactly did we lose our country for? For oil and all that other economic bullshit, that’s what.”<br/><br/>The man nodded and flicked his cigarette against the wall of the hall. He motioned for Arthur to follow him and they walked down the corridor talking.<br/><br/>“I’m Alex, by the way. I’m a third year Pol-Sci major.”<br/><br/>“Arthur. I’m second year engineering.”<br/><br/>“Engineering?” Alex asked with a cocked eyebrow. “Like mechanical?”<br/><br/>“Electronic.”<br/><br/>“Really? That’s cool.”<br/><br/>Alex stopped once they were outside. He bundled his jacket against himself and looked at Arthur.<br/><br/>“I gotta get going. You know, Arthur, I’m part of a group that meets once a week, we talk politics and shoot the shit and all that stuff. You seem like you’ve got some interesting ideas, would you like to come to the next meeting?”<br/><br/>“Yeah,” Arthur said, trying his best not to seem too excited. He hadn’t really made friends since he started at school, preferring to keep to himself even when he was part of groups. Almost everyone didn’t have his interests, and to be part of a group that seemed to care about the things he cared about was something he had been trying to find for a long time.<br/><br/>“Cool. Meet me outside here the day after tomorrow about seven and I’ll take you to where we meet.”<br/><br/>“I’ll be there with bells on.”"

This is to say, the <br/>society of life as a whole, not just those habitats of our own making that we call ""Artificial"" because we<br/>falsely believe ourselves to exist outside of nature. All of our decisions, our thoughts and attitudes, and<br/>those practices or assumptions we hold sacred to ourselves, are effects of the outer world. As a neuron<br/>flashes only when the chemical bed in which it sits compels it to do so, we too only act in in response to<br/>outside forces who compel us in the direction that we call ""self interest."" Truly, the only doubtless sign of<br/>self awareness is when a being acts consciously against its own interests. This is something<br/>which no single cell can do.</i><br/><br/>Dr. Sisi looked up from his notebook and rubbed his eyes. Writing in the darkness of the artificial cavern made them sore. He sat on a rocky ledge, on a canvas chair with a small wooden folding table for a desk. The rest of the cave stretched in front of him. The darkness obscured its size, with the only light pouring from the speckle of lanterns that covered the cave floor like starlight. He knew the dimensions in his head - roughly seven kilometers wide and long, in the rounded shape of a loaf of bread. Its purpose was a complete mystery. Sisi suspected it was little more than whimsy on the part of Ras Hassan for ordering it. A way to occupy their prisoners. The enigma of the thing amused Sisi. Every since their peculiar alliance began in the jungles of the Congo six years earlier, Hassan's mind had been a source of fascination for him. The Ras was moving pieces while giving the appearance of political disinterest. Even with his suspicions, Sisi couldn't be sure what sort of project this growing underground necropolis was.<br/><br/>He turned back to his writing.<br/><br/><i>It may be the proscription of future science to discover what methodology is necessary to fuse severed <br/>nerve tissue so that they may resume carrying signals. It is a discovery with frightening potential. One could <br/>see the future scientist promising near-immortality to minds of merit, so long as a replacement body can <br/>be found. Of course, such a thing may require the sacrifice of another life, but arguments could be made <br/>for the debraining of the mentally ill, the criminally violent, or the uselessly dependent, so that a worthy<br/>mind may gain more years in a new body. This is conjecture, naturally. One has to account for the issue<br/>of organically occurring dementia, which would render a mind doomed regardless of body. Having yet to find a <br/>method for such and experiment to occur, we also have to consider the possibility that some form of traumatic <br/>mental anguish could plague the cerebrum of a person who survives such an extraction. Double would be the <br/>concern in such a case where the new body is of another sex.</i><br/><br/>That was a thought. How strange it would be, to fall asleep a man and wake up a women. How would the mind cope?<br/><br/>In the corner of his eye, he saw the elevator begin its descent. At several hundred feet above the cavern floor, it moved like a blinking planet, descending slowly against absolute darkness. Sisi frowned. Another agent of his Ethiopian employers, come to organize the frantic shut-down of this place now that it was clear Spain would take the Red Sea. They were moving prisoners and equipment out, but it was not possible for them to complete the task. He was curious about what they planned to do, and annoyed that the war was cutting into his work. He would have to return to his old base of operations in the Congo<br/><br/>He took a deep breath, and brushed the dust off of his six-thousand franc, blue-black suit. Sometimes, he wondered if it was worth it to wear his best clothes in this hellish environment. The heat of the cave caused him to sweat, and rock-dust was unavoidable in an environment where hundreds of prisoners chipped away at the stone that surrounded them. His experiments, and his poking and prodding inside of their skulls, has caused many to lose some motor control. They created more of a mess than could be managed. It was a nuisance, but one he had to accept. To dress out of rank, however, would be intolerable.<br/><br/>His leg spasmed. Old bones. He stood up and stretched, feeling a surge of energy tingle through his muscles. For a brief moment, he went light headed. Had he been sitting down that long? It was easy to forget time when he was preoccupied with his thoughts. He was certain that what he was discovering here would make a name for him, more so than his drug trials ever did. There were things that got in the way. Things that had thrown a wall between him and his goals. Aside from the Spanish, the mysterious electrical language of the brain still alluded him. And there was no way he could find to recreate broken nervous tissue.<br/><br/>It was a problem that would have to wait for another time. Perhaps, it saddened him to consider, it was a problem for another generation entirely.<br/><br/>He grabbed his cane, propped up against the makeshift desk, and grasped its golden tip firmly in his hands. He could feel its cold polish through his sheer white gloves, and its familiarity comforted him.<br/><br/>Below his ledge, he could see the world Hassan had lent him. Hundreds of bodies toiling in the dark, guided by lantern-light and dozens of overseers armed with shotguns and pistols. Where Hassan had found these watching devils for his hell Sisi could not tell. Some seemed to be Arab, but most were African. He must of payed them well. Sisi was certain that the Emperor had no concept of this place or its existence. How peculiar, for Hassan to be hiding so much from his sovereign.<br/><br/>Sisi heard the subtle roar of the open-top staff car that delivered people from the elevator. He didn't look. Better their officer find him aloof and disinterested, so that they understood early how this conversation was going to play out.<br/><br/>""Dr. Sisi"" he heard a familar voice. Here, now? He turned around and found that he was right.<br/><br/>Ras Hassan was a thick figure - one could say fat, if they were being honest. He was a colossal figure in African politics, and his reputation was made all that more imposing by the way he carried himself. Confident. Absolutely sure of his own righteousness. His nut-brown complexion and pointed Arab features made him stand out amongst the other Africans, like a figure pulled from some other place to lead them.<br/><br/>""Ras Hassan."" Sisi smiled coyly. He gave the ground two quick taps with his cane before tossing into his left hand. ""I am to understand this is my final eviction notice?""<br/><br/>Hassan smiled. He was a cold man who knew how to seem warm. ""We have to evacuate Hejaz entirely. The Arabs have already retaken Medina. They know we can't defend this place. I am certain that Hejaz will be independent within a month.""<br/><br/>""Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"" Sisi mouthed. He looked over the hellscape, the vague orange glow of to few lanterns coloring their perch. ""I learned more here than I ever could in the Congo.""<br/><br/>""We are moving some of these prisoners."" Hassan assured. ""The good ones. Your assistants are helping my own. We can't take them all, but we can save enough for your work to continue.""<br/><br/>""What are you doing with the rest, may I ask?"" Sisi inquired.<br/><br/>Hassan took a deep breath and looked out across the cavern of his making. He looked regretful. To Sisi, that seemed a surprise. ""We talked about blowing the roof. That would create more questions, lead our enemies to investigate what they shouldn't be investigating. No. This place is too remote. We are going to seal the top hatch with rock. It will be years before somebody chances to discover it.""<br/><br/>""Mmmm."" Sisi hummed. He understood the subtext. ""Seal it, with the remaining prisoners inside.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Hassan answered bluntly. ""We can't do anything else with them. Our options limit our mercy.""<br/><br/>There was a brief moment of silence, where they both stared out across the darkness. It could be mesmerizing - certainly a sight that few people could ever claim to have seen. It could have been new wonder of the world, if the unrestrained flow of world politics hadn't chose to touch them in the way that it had. He wondered if Hassan would ever attempt the same thing again? Surely that would be impossible. Whatever his project had been, it ended here. Sisi had been one of the few men fortuitous enough to see it in comfort before it's abandonment.<br/><br/>""I will withdraw tomorrow."" Sisi assured.<br/><br/>""I know."" Hassan agreed. ""I came here to make sure of entire national departure from this land.""<br/><br/>Sisi nodded.<br/><br/>""And to thank you."" Hassan smiled again. ""For what services you have given our country. I have your assurances that your other experiments have worked?""<br/><br/>Sisi smiled. It was strange, to think of what they had done. Treason. There was no doubts there. Sisi wondered if he had somehow been tricked into being Hassan's own loyal henchman.<br/><br/>""You will not have to worry about it."" he said. ""What you have purchased through your patronage has been payed back already.""<br/><br/>Hassan clapped Sisi on the shoulder. ""You and I are friends."" he said. ""I have to go and begin the evacuation. We will have your old lab prepared for you."" They shook hands, equal to equal, and Sisi watched as Hassan climbed back into his car. What would happen to that man? Sisi was uncertain about this conflict. War was good for business in many ways, but he had enjoyed a steady patronage under the Ethiopian government. Would the Spaniards give him the same opportunities? Doubtful. He would be able to count himself lucky if they allowed him to serve them food in a cafeteria. His position was made worse by his service to those that the Spanish so inappropriately called 'Socialist'. He would have to allow Hassan and his Ethiopia to hold a monopoly on his current work, as flimsy as that chance was. Of course, he had already done things that would soon earn him the internal gratitude of the Ras.<br/><br/>Sisi turned back to his desk and started writing.<br/><br/><i>The mind is surprisingly malleable. The right combination of conditioning, suggestion, and chemical preparation, can<br/>train even an intelligent man to commit acts that would typically be against their will. Conditioning is the more <br/>powerful component in this preparation. We know and completely accept the ways in which we condition animals,<br/>or small children so that they will follow rules of etiquette they do not necessarily understand. We don't see the<br/>same forces in adulthood as being a form of conditioning, as pride, and even arrogance, causes us to assume our<br/>own supreme intelligence. We are animals, in most senses, acting entirely within our own decided drives, for reasons<br/>we gauge as self-interest. But what is self-interest? If man were driven by a well-informed self-interest, would not all <br/>but the especially privileged be rabid socialists? Surely, it is all too easy to sell a man his own poison if the salesman<br/>is clever and understands the tactics in which one man can control another. Kings and priests have known this since<br/>prehistory. What they did not have, however, is something we have. Chemical drugs, which can bury conditioning in<br/>the subconscious, so that the planted compulsions and lies remain hidden until they are necessary. And when the time<br/>comes, they can be unmasked without prior warning. This will be the way of spies and assassins in the coming centuries</i><br/><br/><b>Port Said, Suez Canal</b><br/><br/>Her vision returned quicker than her hearing. Her ears rang persistently as she stood up and gained her bearings. Fire burned bright hot all around her, exploding in seemingly random blasts. She saw bodies all around her, running and fighting and choking and dying. Instinctively, she pulled out her service weapon - a Changu .52, the sort sold to the Walinzi by the Chinese government. She had been more comfortable with her old German Walther, but the government had insisted.<br/><br/>With her ears still whining, she leveled her gun on a white man. He was covered in soot - face, clothes, and weapon - and he was locked in hateful melee with an African soldier wearing a turban. One shot turned the white man's shoulder into a bloody mangle. He fell down, his scream sending a piercing pain through Leyla's damaged ears, until the turbaned African leaned down, stole the mans knife, and slit his throat with it. As her hearing stabilized, the first thing she completely perceived were the Spaniard's bloody dying gurgles.<br/><br/><i>Smack</i><br/><br/>At first she thought she had been punched in the side. She doubled over, her innards inflamed, and picked up the shattered cement rock that had been sent jabbing into her by the Spanish Navy's pounding barrage into the nearby Ethiopian defenses. Their counter attack had came quicker than she suspected.<br/><br/>She saw a man - an ash-smudged Spaniard - pull his weapon. She reacted quickly, but he shot first, and she felt the bullet whiz past her neck. Her shot did not miss. She hit him in the pelvis, and watched as his blackened uniform began to soak red. That was one man, and the war was on top of her. She started to stand up, but her side rebelled. It felt like her liver had been twisted and drained by hand, leaving a burning pit near her belly. On the ground, she could only see the war as a helpless victim of it.<br/><br/>Spasms of gunfire ripped through the air in all directions, so much that she could hardly tell where any sound was coming from anymore. There were screams and cries, and shouts of violent anger, hidden behind the swallowing sound of constant Spanish naval barrage. It looked like the Ethiopians were losing. She realized that, even if she didn't die, she would most likely be taken prisoner. When they discovered her sex... capture was as horrifying as death.<br/><br/>A eruption of energy came from her left. Two Walinzi agents emptied their revolvers as they advanced into the fight, followed by a small number of Ethiopian soldiers. A counterattack for the counterattack. She wanted to harness that energy for her own, to use the surge of adrenaline to bring herself back up, but it did not help. Instead, she attempted to add her own scream to the cacophony, and it reminded her of how much pain she was in.<br/><br/>A shell hit amongst the ruined buildings, and she heard its crumbling collapse. She held tightly to her weapon, watching the battle with a desperation kept in check by her struggle to focus on the fast-pace of what was happening. She glanced at the Aksum, catching the flicker of a distant firefight. The battle had poured onto the ship. What were they going to do?<br/><br/>She realized that Elias had disappeared. She felt a her chest slump. If her partner had died, that would hurt worse than any wound she had suffered in battle. They had served next to each other since Armenia. He was the closest friend she had.<br/><br/>""I am going to help you."" she heard. She felt herself hoisted into the air and put on her feet. Her side stung horribly, but she maintained her balance. She swung around and found her savior to be a giant."
22065,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-11-25 03:40:00,Byrd Man,"<b>Surrey<br/>Cascadia Territory</b><br/><br/>Inspector Mark Echols stood with his coat up against the light drizzle, a smoldering butt of a cigarette in his mouth. The first traces of dawn were beginning to show on the far horizon. Very soon the sun would be rising and they could get rid of the harsh halogen lights that made the lot look washed out. There were six lights in all that were erected in a circle around the primary crime scene. Police scientists working under Echols combed the small radius for any sign of clues. He stood a dozen yards away, watching as a flashbulb popped from inside the circle. Echols figured it would take a few minutes for the strong scent of the bulb’s zirconium to waft to his location.<br/><br/>Echols squinted through the dim light and read his wristwatch. It was just after one in the morning when he’d gotten the call from the local precinct out here, a couple parked in a back alley lot to find a spot to neck and instead found a dead body. Echols was just one hour into his shift as watch commander for the CTPF’s homicide division when he left for the scene. The duties of watch commander entailed being the first of two detectives on duty during the graveyard shift of midnight to eight. One of the techs waved him over. Echols stubbed his cigarette butt on the heel of his shoe and shoved it into his coat pocket before limping over.<br/><br/>The limp was his keepsake from the war. Echols was an MP during the war with the US, he worked behind the front lines and interrogated the few POWs the NWC army managed to snag. Then came the NWC’s own civil war that tore the army apart. Echols’ own MP unit was ripped apart and he saw some rough fighting not far from here. He came out the war one kneecap shy of a pair, but the snazzy cane helped compensate for that.<br/><br/>“What have we got?” he asked the tech.<br/><br/>“Nothing at all,” the overweight man said with a shrug. “No fibers, no bruising or lacerations around his hands or wrists. No scars or tattoos and obviously no identification on him.”<br/><br/>Echols looked down at the dead body. It was the naked corpse of a man who appeared to be in his mid to late 30’s. He was on the fat side and had dark hair with a dark, scraggly beard. He had a neat little bullet hole in the back of his head.<br/><br/>“What about his dick?” Echols asked, referring to the erection the dead man sported hours after his death.<br/><br/>“He had a hard-on when he died, that’s for sure. I don’t know if it was part of the fight or flight response or if he was aroused when he was shot. The human body, man, it’s a mysterious thing. Medical examiner will be able to give you a better answer if he does an autopsy, though.”<br/><br/>Echols nodded and crouched down to look. Even with the dim lighting and hair covering the wound Mark could make out the stippling around the hole, a dead giveaway that the shooter had been in close. Execution style, Echols thought to himself. He stood up and turned to look across the river at the skyline of Vancouver. It was close enough to dump a body, just 26 kil-… miles, sixteen some odd miles away. He had to start thinking of distances in miles and feet now. This was the third murder of the year for the whole territory. Cascadia had settled down once the militant rebels had been swept from the board, but this murder was a reminder to Echols that something dark and violent seemed to lurk beneath the surface of this place.<br/><br/>“Okay,” he finally said to the tech and his team. “Run his prints by R&I and see if they get a match. I’ll run through the recent missing persons reports and see if our guy comes up. If you find anything else interesting, give me a call.”<br/><br/>The tech gave Echols a half-hearted nod as the inspector started to hobble across the lot towards his unmarked car. He drove back into Vancouver with the radio scanner off, lost in his thoughts. He thought about the new case he had on his hands, crossed referenced it in his mind with any old murders he’d worked in the past and couldn’t find anything close to this.<br/><br/>Dawn was steady approaching by the time he got back to CTPF headquarters. It was a six-story building downtown with the CTPF’s logo above the entrance. The Cascadia Territory Police Force acted as successor to the NWC’s own federal police. It was still a relatively new agency that had the task of enforcing the territory’s laws as well as any US laws that the Feds didn’t investigate. In effect they were state police. Echols had been a detective in Vancouver PD before the war, but the VPD was reluctant to bring him back after his injury. The CTPF had no qualms and brought him in to work murders. A lot of his old friends at VPD no longer spoke to him because he took the job. In their eyes he was a traitor for allying with the same people they went to war with. Echols didn’t give a damn about flags and territory. All he wanted to do was catch bad guys.<br/><br/>“How was the night watch?” Echols asked Braun as he shuffled through the door.<br/><br/>“I got to catch up on my reading,” Sergeant Sam Braun said with a chuckle. He looked up at Echols over his reading glasses, a paperback in his lap. “Have fun with the stiff in Surrey? Hey, that sounds like a great title for a detective novel. The Stiff in Surrey: An Inspector Echols Mystery.”<br/><br/>Echols rolled his eyes and made the jerk-off motion. To say the homicide division’s offices were cramped would be an understatement. Six detectives shared the small office space on the fifth floor, three desks between each of them. The shifts worked so that at any given time there would only be two detectives on duty, but a redball situation might require more people and that would make things very claustrophobic very quickly. Echols sat down at his desk and put a fresh sheet of paper into the typerwriter. He started to clack out his preliminary report in a slow and deliberate manner, searching and pecking on the keys one by one. Halfway through he leaned back and looked over at Braun who was back reading his book.<br/><br/>“Speaking of stiff, Sam, you ever encountered a dead body with a stiffy?”<br/><br/>“Once,” said Braun, “but that was a sex strangling thing. You know, a guy gets off on choking himself fucks up and ends up killing himself. That kind of thing, but never a murder where the vic was at attention.”<br/><br/>Echols picked up a pencil on the desk and chewed it pensively while he thought. He gave up after a minute and tossed the pencil down before he started back on the report. He could mull over the circumstances of the murder when he was done with his report. Echols attached a supplemental request to Ava, the homicide unit’s secretary, for her to forward a request for more information and the physical description of the victim to the CTPF’s missing persons unit, as well as every detective bureau in the territory and to the state agencies in Washington and Idaho in the south.<br/><br/>“Early relief,” James Rolston of the day shift announced as he sauntered through the door. “Rise and shine, assholes. Look alive, sadsacks. Time to head home.”<br/><br/>Echols grunted and handed Rolston the two reports he had just finished typing.<br/><br/>“Here you go. Read those and put the reports in Ava’s inbox. Anything about the case comes in, you know where to reach me.”<br/><br/>Rolston gave Echols a little salute and walked past him as Echols grabbed his cane and made his way out of the office. He’d probably go home, sleep, and then be back to the office before five that evening to work follow ups. The case was shaping up to be a loser, a stone whodunnit with very little chance of getting solved. All the other detectives in the unit would softball it and wait for a juicer one to fall into their lap, but Echols couldn’t let it go. He wanted to catch bad guys, and now he had a chance.<br/><br/><b>Washington, D.C.</b><br/><br/>Clay Fulke walked through the corridors of the West Wing with his escort leading the way. Today marked the new president’s first meeting with congressional leaders, his first such meeting since becoming Speaker. Clay toiled for sixteen years in the House, acting first as Whip when Vice President Reed was Speaker and then as Majority Leader before Reed’s successor retired after thirty years in the House.<br/><br/>President Norman’s congressional goals were still something of a mystery in DC. His campaign and inaugural speeches had all been filled with vague promises to make the country better, to change the tide of the 20th century and turn the next hundred years into a century of American prosperity. Easier said than done, Clay thought. The only thing that he had heard Norman wanted to do this session was make headway on civil rights in the South and get some kind of timetable on statehood for the Cascadia Territory. Both would be tough challenges with a solid majority of southern power in both the House and Senate, but if Norman could pull it off it may end up being a good sign that he wasn’t just talk.<br/><br/>The young White House staffer led Clay to the conference room just off from the Oval Office. The majority leader, Harris Hayden, was already there along with Senate minority leader Clark Peters. Clay and the majority and minority leaders made up the top three Democrats in the House and Senate. They took their places around the table and waited for the president and vice-president.<br/><br/>“Gentlemen,” Russell Reed said with a large smile as he came through the door. He glad-handed the men and welcomed them in. They were just sitting down when President Norman entered, not through the same door as the others, but through the door that led straight to the Oval Office. He held a hand out to stop everyone from standing back up.<br/><br/>“No need for that,” he said as he sat. “Thank you all for meeting with me. I just wanted to have this meeting as a preliminary discussions before I meet with the Republican congressional leaders, map our strategy out before we test the waters. Like any good military man, I want to scout the battlefield in advance.”<br/><br/>A slight chuckle went out. Clay saw the slight look the president and vice-president shared before Reed leaned forward to speak.<br/><br/>“One suggestion the administration has been kicking around is in the area of national defense. That was one of the president’s campaign cornerstones, and the Republicans are always for that so we could start out with a softball piece of legislation before we get into the tougher stuff.”<br/><br/>“What did you have in mind?” Clay asked with a raised eyebrow.<br/><br/>“New England Weapon Industries has been struggling to keep its head above water for years, and since the New England Republic was absolved back into the US it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.”<br/><br/>“We want to nationalize it,” the president said, picking up the train of thought from Reed. “Kickstart it with federal government investment, use incentives to attract quality weapons designers to work there. I’m tired of relying on other nation's weapons to protect our troops, I have been for a long time. I think it’s a first step in the right direction if we can turn NEWI into the US armed force’s personal armory. Thoughts?”<br/><br/>“I like it,” Hayden replied. “National defense is something everyone wants to vote for, all the voters are for it.”<br/><br/>“Shouldn’t have a problem going through the House,” said Clay. “We can get it through in record time. The Senate is where I’d be concerned. The Republicans have been fighting back hard on anything that still smells like socialism, and nationalizing a company falls within that purview.”<br/><br/>“This theoretical bill would provide just compensation for NEWI’s owners and shareholders,” said the vice-president. “I think that little caveat would appease the Republican’s ideological need to be difficult. What do you think, Clark?”<br/><br/>“It’d be close,” Peters said after a moment’s pause. “Very close.”<br/><br/>“Off the top of my head,” Reed said quickly. “I could see the bill passing the Senate… 75-21, that’s give or take a vote or two. The new senators haven’t had time to create a voting record.”<br/><br/>“Nobody can count votes like the vice-president,” the president said with a laugh. “But let’s just assume it’ll be close that way we can’t rest on our laurels on this one. This will be this administration's first big challenge and I want to see we come out of it on the right side of it.”"

A sharp, raucous screeching pierced the ears of the Cazadores as their stolen ship raced up the canal, another piece of debris had struck the commandeered Ethiopian flagship against her steel belly. In a short time, the Africans had managed to thoroughly trash the floor of the canal. It would not be fit for the Spanish Armada to traverse it for some time, but the task of clearing out the rubble would be possible now with the<i>Aksum</i>steaming for dear life out into the Mediterranean.<br/><br/>With the assumption that the<i>Aksum</i>survived the race out of the canal, that is.<br/><br/>The Ethiopians, at this time, knew that they had lost the canal. Even from the vessel's bridge, the Cazadores could see the muzzle flashes of the Ejercito in the darkness to the North; a sweeping curtain of lightning falling over the collapsing African line. Ethiopia was in full retreat, but even if they could not deny Spain the canal, they were intent on denying them the<i>Aksum</i>. Any mortars that continued to fire were being focused on their own flagship.<br/><br/>Minarets of pulverized water shot skyward all around the canal, as if the ship were caught in a storm tremendous raindrops. Others fell upon the ground on either side, erupting in mushrooms of fire and peppering the vessel's hull in shrapnel. Others still found their mark on the ship itself, leaving smoldering craters in the metal sheeting where the shells hit. The Africans were putting all their effort into this one last endeavor to render the canal utterly impassible, they knew full well that a lucky shot could detonate the explosives in the<i>Aksum's</i>hull and buy Ethiopia weeks of precious time.<br/><br/>The Cazadores stood within the bridge and watched as the hellscape of battle rolled past them. Explosions and muzzle flashes sparked everywhere on their flanks, and there they stood watching idly as the start of the war raged all around them. For such men of action, to do nothing while the battle was being won without them was deeply unsatisfying. Their mission, though, was tantamount. They would see this ship out of the canal even if it did feel like retreating.<br/><br/>It was a retreat under fire. An Ethiopian mortar team with a clear shot at the passing<i>Aksum</i>had simply leveled its barrel and launched a mortar directly at the ship. The Africans were rewarded with a direct hit on the superstructure of the Ethiopian warship right underneath her smokestack. The diffuse diesel exhaust wafting from the stack was suddenly blown away by a roaring fire and thick black smoke that belched forth deep within the wounded vessel. Beneath the feet of the Cazadores, the engine could be felt seizing and jerking beneath their feet. The mouth of the canal was now only a little over a kilometer away and closing, but it seemed now that the<i>Aksum</i>might not even make it that far.<br/><br/>""There's no reason for any of you to remain onboard."" Captain Oliviero Jaco said to his subordinates, staring intently out the broken pane of glass from whence he had boarded the ship. ""I'll guide the ship out of the canal from here, I want you to bail and make ready for extraction.""<br/><br/>""The mission parameters are straightforward, Captain. We'll stay here until this ship is clear of the Armada's right-of-way.""<br/><br/>""Nor will we miss the end of the last mission of your career!"" Another added, giving their commander a slap on the shoulder. Captain Jaco gave a warm grin to his steadfast compatriots before returning to his cool, steely gaze out into the canal ahead.<br/><br/>The mortar barrage had suddenly slowed, likely for the advancing Spanish infantry scattering what remained of the Ethiopian forces. Despite the waning fire, another two shells found their mark on the deck of the battered<i>Aksum</i>in succession, sending shrapnel tearing through the air that shattered the remaining bridge windows. The engine shuddered and rattled below, threatening to fail and die at any second. It just had to last another few seconds, and the vessel's momentum could carry it out of the harbor. The mouth was approaching fast; the ship was almost there.<br/><br/>Without warning, a thunderous blast jarred the right-side of the ship, sending the Cazadores tumbling to their feet. A vast pillar of water rose up over the starboard side of the<i>Aksum</i>and spilled over the deck and washed into the bridge. The ship had stuck an Ethiopian mine with devastating results; the engine had halted completely and the hull itself could be heard buckling and warping under the strain. To complicate the mission further, the roaring fire spewing from the smokestack was now spilling over to envelop the rest of the superstructure. Under this much stress, the explosives that lined the vessel's hold could detonate at any moment.<br/><br/>""Get off of this ship now."" Captain Jaco commanded of his Cazadores. ""This time that's an order.""<br/><br/>""It's been a pleasure to serve beside you, Captain. Congratulations on a successful and complete tour of duty."" One of the Cazadores said in farewell.<br/><br/>""It was a pleasure to work with you all as well. Now bail already.""<br/><br/>With that, the four subordinates under Captain Jaco briskly made their way out of the bridge, making haste off of the [i[Aksum[/i] per the final order of their commander. The Cazador captain was alone now on the bridge, the flicker of the growing blaze swallowing the ship glimmered in the spiderweb of cracks in the bridge's windows. The roar of the blaze and the groaning of stressed metal was all that he could hear as the sounds of battle faded behind him. The ship had coasted out of the canal by this point; the sea walls and jetties flanking the bridge opened up into the open blackness of the Mediterranean Sea and the Spanish fleet biding their time on the inky horizon. Captain Jaco spun the wheel hard to the left, pulling the burning warship hard to the East out of the path of the Armada. The vessel need only coast another hundred meters further out of the way. The success of the mission was assured. And as the dying<i>Aksum</i>rolled out into the Mediterranean, listing onto its starboard side as the hull took on water, Captain Oliviero Jaco took the bridge's onboard radio mouthpiece into his hand and flipped the instrumentation on, hoping that the fire had not yet rendered the radio masts totally inoperable.<br/><br/>""Admiral Santin, come in. I repeat: Come in, Admiral Santin."" Loud pops and hisses could be heard as the Aksum's fuel burned in her lines. The bridge was warming rapidly as the fires intensified. ""This is the<i>ENS Aksum</i>.""<br/><br/>//Admiral Santiago Santin speaking from<i>La Ira de Dios</i>. I read you with some difficulty. I see I was right to trust the Cazadores with this thing. I can see her burning from here; recommend that you bail at once.//<br/><br/>""I'm afraid it's too late for that, Admiral."" Captain Jaco relayed, his eyes following the dripping of burning, molten plastic falling down past the bridge windows. ""The Ethiopians loaded the hold full of explosive. Any second now, the fleet's going to be in for quite the firework display. I had the rest of my squad bail out already, but you know as well as I do that the captain goes down with the ship.""<br/><br/>//I regret that it had to be this way.// Santin's voice crackled in solemnly.<br/><br/>""I knew what I was signing up for."" The bridge was beginning to reek of thick, acrid smoke as the fires swallowed the superstructure and worked into the innards of the ship, forcing from the Cazador a bout of coughing. ""You know what? It's funny, Admiral. This was the last mission of my tour of duty. Mission accomplished, so I suppose I'm a free man now. This wasn't how I was planning on spending my retirement, you know?""<br/><br/>//You're cutting out... Sir, what is you name?//<br/><br/>""Oliviero Jaco. Captain Oliviero Jaco.""<br/><br/>//Understand me, Captain Jaco. I'm going to see that you're not forgotten for this. The world is going to remember what you did here tonight.//<br/><br/>""That'd be nice...""<br/><br/>At that moment, the night became day. A brilliant white flash illuminated Ports Said and Fuad; a radiant light shone across the water and the deserts beyond the cities, and a clap of chest-pounding thunder rocked the battlefield. Rising into the sky from the sea was a great orange fireball, riding upward on a column of steam and smoke where the<i>Aksum</i>once was. The swirling cloud of fire rose up over the city like a second sun, swirling with angry tongues of yellow and orange, and then a dim red before fading into the night. The canal was wide open; the War for Africa had begun in earnest.<br/><br/>""We're not going to forget you, you brave bastard.""<br/><br/><b> Sahara, Spanish Morocco</b><br/><br/>""Is everyone alright?"" Joaquin asked, shifting to his feet with a lean against the handcuffs anchoring him to his seat as the dust within the fuselage settled. The attention of all those trapped on the grounded bomber gravitated toward Joaquin, all seemingly receptive to someone stepping up to take command of the situation. ""Is there anyone seriously hurt?""<br/><br/>""My leg's fucked."" One of the captive passengers spoke up somewhere in the front.<br/><br/>""I think my shoulder is dislocated."" An older prisoner groaned from a few rows behind. No one else reported any other injuries.<br/><br/>""So, we all made it? How about that!"" Now that Joaquin mentioned it, it was a minor miracle that anyone had made it through the crash; to say nothing of the survival of every single passenger. For their part the pilots had done an admirable job landing the plane in a controlled fashion. But for all their skill, the pilots themselves were likely killed when the cockpit separated from the rest of the craft. Julio felt little pity for them, even if they had saved their lives.<br/><br/>""Now then,"" Joaquin continued, ""is there anyone who is free from their cuffs or can free themselves?"" This time there was no verbal response. Manacles and chain links clattered together as everyone struggled against their binds. Julio too tugged against the pair of handcuffs affixing his right wrist to arm of his seat, but it held fast as did the bolts anchoring the seat to the dust-strewn corrugated flooring below. It was clear that he was going nowhere. Nor was anyone else.<br/><br/>""We're stuck!"" Someone exclaimed. ""We're stuck in this thing!"" His panic was contagious, even as Joaquin tried to hush the anxious murmurs rising up amongst the captives. ""Settle down, please!"" Joaquin commanded. ""We're going to get out of these seats and find help! I'll cut my hand off to do it if I have to!""<br/><br/>Julio kept his own pessimistic thinking to himself, but he could not help but doubt the optimism of his new friend. Joaquin had been a police officer; his training demanded he be reassuring in the face of crises to stave off panic. His impeccable optimism affirmed Julio’s worst fears. Joaquin knew as well as anyone else that they were all going to die here; he simply wanted them all to die in peaceful optimism rather than hysteric fits. Even if they could remove these cuffs, what then? The 'help' of which Joaquin spoke was illusory, like a mirage of the desert beyond the yawning opening in the airplane's fuselage.<br/><br/>""""Help? Where exactly were we go to find help?"" That most vocal and pessimistic of the passengers demanded. ""Do you even know where we are?""<br/><br/>They had crashed deep in the Sahara - the heart of Spain's African empire. Julio knew it could be nowhere else. The plane may as well have landed out a thousand miles at sea, or onto the barren glaciers of Greenland. No one lived in this desolate and hellish place. If the prisoners could escape their downed plane, they would be doomed to walk aimlessly to the mountains in the distance. Without water, the midsummer's heat would kill them all inside of three days. Investigators seeking out the crash site would find a gaggle of mummies half-buried in the among the debris field. There was no escape from this fate. Julio and his fellow captives had only traded one prison for another.<br/><br/>""Don't talk like that!"" Joaquin commanded of the naysayer. ""We will find someone!""<br/><br/>But it was someone else that found them.<br/><br/>A single gunshot rang through the air, silencing the plane. Another followed several seconds thereafter. Two shots, one for each pilot. The blast that had shook the plane before it fell from the sky immediately returned to Julio's mind. The plane had to be shot out of the air. But this was the Sahara,<i>Spanish</i>Africa. To think this plane was shot down within its own airspace…<br/><br/>Footsteps were heard beyond the hull crunching against the sand. Shadow-veiled silhouettes flitted past the cracked and broken windows. Their attackers were approaching the plane; briskly working toward the front, moving stealthily and quickly as they hung just behind the jagged opening at the fore of the bomber. The prisoners held perfectly still and quiet, out of fear or desire not to startle the assailants.<br/><br/>On either side of the gaping wound in the plane, they came into view against the backdrop of orange desert. They were clad head-to-toe in black and blue robes, scarves and turbans wrapped around their heads so tightly that their eyes were scarcely visible. Cold black eyes scanned the inside of the plane, each pair set beside a ruddy-colored nosebridge just poking up from within the scarves. In their hands, straight-bladed steel swords glinted with yellow light. Some among them carried more modern arms such as hand-me-down rifles. The assailants almost seemed to be ancient warriors transplanted into the times of firearms and airplanes. A surreal sight indeed; Julio thoroughly expected it to be his last.<br/><br/>""Please don't hurt us!"" Someone blurted, breaking the silence. ""We're prisoners, not soldiers! Don't kill us!""<br/><br/>The antiquated warriors, seemingly confused, turned to themselves and spoke in their native tongue. Julio recognized it immediately as Arabic. It was a language he was well-accustomed to in his exile in the Middle East. It was a throaty, punctuated exchange intermixed with gestures and glances to the passengers and it ended abruptly with one of the robe-clad fighters stepping out of the aircraft as if to fetch something. The other speaker holstered a blocky Mauser pistol onto his belt and faced the prisoners.<br/><br/>""Do not be afraid, we can help you."" He reported in perfect Spanish. His accent struck Julio as it bore little similarity to any Arab or North African who had learned to speak Castillian. It was a soft, yet regal and dignified means of enunciation. It reminded him of the way Samel and his friends spoke. ""But we must move quickly. Are there any among you who cannot walk?""<br/><br/>""My leg... it's hurt."" The same prisoner who had spoken up before reported. The warrior who had left the plane returned at this time with a pair of boltcutters in his arms. With a feverish pace, he began snipping the chains of each set of manacles and freeing the passengers<br/><br/>""Then you will ride with me. Everyone else will have to follow us on foot. We will take you to safety, but you cannot slow us down. The Spanish will be upon us very soon and we must not be here when they arrive.""<br/><br/>The cloaked man soon arrived at Julio's row and unceremoniously clipped the link holding the cuff attached to the seat's arm and leaving a manacle with free-hanging chain around his wrist. Joaquin too was freed moments after. Without a moment's hesitation, the two filed out with the other prisoners and bounded off the plane into the desert."

For the Armenians, used to the highlands and the chills of altitude, the marshes of Poti could be suffocating. Humidity long ago had ruined anyone's chances of appearing at work with an unsoiled uniform: sweat pooled in the armpits and the backs of the staff at Headquarters, Joint Base Poti. The windows of the recently-constructed, white-plastered building were propped open to let in any semblance of a breeze on the still days. The armed guards' faces - blank with a mixture of contempt for the climate and for the country in general - glistened with sweat outside the tall wooden door. Staff officers often gazed upon them as they entered the headquarters, wondering how they'd ever manage to survive eight hour shifts wearing a flak jacket all day. There was no respite from the Georgian coast's summer. And certainly not for the operations department that resided in the basement: the relief of hot air rising out of the low basement was no major relief when all it ever did was circulate back in a neverending cycle. What was actually an ordinary brief turned oddly cinematic as officers congregated in a windowless concrete room under blazing hot lamps, waiting for a Lieutenant to present the weekly report. Except this time, the report was more than just a usual recap of the week's events. Today, Mikael Gregovyen would be joining the regimental staff to present on his latest findings.<br/><br/>The special operative wore his lizard-patterned battledress with the sleeves rolled up and a bandolier slung diagonally against his frame in the manner of a Sam Browne belt. In his brown leather holster was a Chechen revolver, the infamously rugged Grozny-Type manufactured by skilled gunsmiths in the eponymous city. This was a prized possession amongst Armenian troopers in Georgia: those who went out on patrol, killed a bandit, and were lucky enough to find the revolver took it and replaced their own sidearm. It was a symbol of the veteran. Chechen raiders were regarded to be some of the most hardcore fighters in the region. To kill one was to prove their own prowess. To take their weapon from them was the ultimate assurance of victory. Soldiers who wore the Grozny-Type on their belts were never berated or corrected by anyone but the most junior of officers. Even they learned to see it as a symbol of authority, albeit unconventional. Even the senior commanders were beginning to realize that the Grozny-Type was a source of pride amongst veteran Armenian expeditionary soldiers. They rarely contested the usage of the piece. Seeing as Lieutenant Gregovyen had just burned a Chechen encampment to the ground, there was no conflict from anyone. Gregovyen knew this, and used his opportunity to his advantage. As if his ranking as an NSS SAU operative wasn't enough, his Grozny-Type was sure to keep the officers' attention.<br/><br/>An intelligence officer stood beside Gregovyen, next to a board with several maps. He held a wired remote for a projector in his hand, and a technician in the rear stood ready to put up the slides. Gregovyen looked at his watch and then at the officer, nodding. The technician took note of the cue and started the projector. A flickering noise not unlike a film camera's echoed throughout the concrete chamber as the officers sat back in their seats. Gregovyen took the stage to begin his briefing. His pale skin seemed ghastly in the projector's sepia light. Dark hair, matted by grease and sweat, formed little curls that seemed to be magnified in shadow against the projected slide behind him. He cleared his throat rather conspicuously.<br/><br/>""Good evening, sirs,"" he introduced. ""I am Lieutenant Mikhael Gregovyen, as you may know. I am part of the NSS playing its role Georgia at the moment and I do indeed have some very important news for you.""<br/><br/>The officers squinted their eyes at the cowboy on the stage, while the intelligence officer stood behind in the shadows. The slide clicked over to the standard ""CONFIDENTIAL"" title slide, and the intelligence officer duly spoke up in his monotonous, professional tone: ""I do not need to remind anyone that, until further notice and declassification from the National Security Service, this information is rated confidential and shall be seen by your eyes only. No reproductions of this material will be allowed, as we are dealing with rather sensitive material dealing with our plans for the security and reconstruction of post-Ottoman Georgia. Should this information be leaked before it is deemed appropriately declassified by the National Security Service, full legal prosecution will occur. The Army Intelligence Service has no authority over this matter, as it is jointly relevant.""<br/><br/>""So with that said,"" effortlessly continued Gregovyen as he paced about, ""we are trying to protect the identity of a specific section of guys we have a newfound interest in. They're small at the moment, only about eighty fulltime members, but we believe that their ideas have potential once they prove themselves worthy in the environment around here. Until then, they are small fish in a big pond. But if they can take down the ruling party in their city then they may gain some traction.""<br/><br/>A slide clicked into place showing a photograph of Batumi with several markings on it from a scout. Buildings were circled in marker alongside written captions identifying buildings as Georgian Guard headquarters and the strongholds of the local tyrant: General Polat.<br/><br/>""This is Batumi,"" Gregovyen stated. He pointed to the west docks in particular, crowded with rusted and scuttled commercial vessels. ""Close to the Armenian border but still controlled by violent Georgian warlords who like to assert their dominance through fear. They have unlimited power there, and recently have been doing all sorts of things like raising taxes and restricting food in an attempt to punish their enemies. Our guys there are called the Georgian Guard, and they fancy themselves to be a reconstructive influence. They've been seeking to end the anarchy, first at home. Their name - and from what we've gleamed talking to the undertrodden citizens - suggests that they want to expand that to all of Georgia. So far, they're apolitical. They want Georgia for the Georgians, but we might be able to change that. With a few silver tongues in play, we could convince senior leadership to accept a generous offer of assistance. For us, this works out well. Poti gets a reliable supply line in the short term and the long term might come to see a stable Georgia. But it's going to get worse before it gets better. The Dagestani warlord that we just recently took out in the east, for example, has a dozen different guys on the lower rings of the pedestal jockeying to replace him after our supposed allies in the region took our aid money and ran instead of moving in themselves. Unless some unstoppable force moves in immediately to fill the power vacuum - a reformed Georgian Guard, perhaps - there is no way we can maintain stability.<br/><br/>Our pitch to the Guard comes mostly in the form of: 'Us Armenians will help you and you will be well on your way to victory in Georgia.' If need be, we can always bring out the 'no better friend, no worse enemy' card and just wipe them off the map if they're insistent with a no. But I'm no grand strategist and that's up to the Georgian theater commanders to decide. Knowing their desire for longterm stability, my professional opinion is to assure them of a continued stable alliance. Some sort of military pact against the broken-up post-Ottoman bandit states and the scheming Turks bent on revenge. We could try to expand existing agreements with Poland and Persia to funnel some of their aid into Georgia to ensure continued stability. We don't want it slipping back into failed state territory after the Guard finishes its march across the land and begins to relax. We need that stable northern border for anything. Mostly the bandits and the Mafiya's continued encroachment onto the Armenian sphere. If we establish a Georgian state with these guys, we'll be able to alleviate our problems by shifting them onto them. We'd continue to support them, but it wouldn't be our border towns getting shot at through a porous Georgian anarchic wasteland. It'd be theirs. And we'd make our mark on the region as a new leader in reconstruction efforts: Armenia was the example of the revolution and should continue to be an example beyond it. The way we're shaping up could net us regional power status in a few years if we're optimistic.""<br/><br/>The regimental commander in Poti, a Colonel, sat up in his seat. The folding metal chair creaked under his relatively large frame. He crossed his arms and spoke up: ""With the mess of warlords in this goddamned country, what are they trying to do?""<br/><br/>Gregovyen smiled and switched to the next slide, showing a photograph of the town square in Poti. A statue of Sultan Suleiman stood tall on a pedestal, surrounded by Ottoman flags. No guards were seen, but a note on the photograph stated that the picture was taken from a hotel window and that armed guards routinely patrolled the area. Gregovyen admired his scouts' audacity. ""They are planning a march on General Polat's main headquarters, or at least that's what the word on the streets is.""<br/><br/>""General Polat?"" the Colonel asked, squinting his eyes at Gregovyen. ""Is this the warlord in the area?""<br/><br/>""General Polat is a businessman,"" explained the Lieutenant. ""He used to own the tea plantations around Batumi and the surrounding region when it was owned by the Ottomans. He received subsidies from the Turkish government as the Georgian frontier started getting destabilized. Eventually, a larger cut of his resources get routed to the Ottomans: they prop up a mercenary army of sorts for him to defend his gains against the insurrection that they think will be squashed in a matter of weeks. That was not the case. However, even after the Ottomans were gone, Polat retained his soldiers. This was to try and maintain the Georgian border, since Batumi was located closer to the Turkish side of the '77 DMZ. They are a bastion of old Ottoman control in the country, kept alive through an imposition of fear and tyranny. This makes him different from your average Chechen or Dagestani raider. If he can be deposed or assassinated, this is a powerful message. If the Guard succeeds, that puts them in a leadership position amongst the moderate reconstructionist forces in Georgia. They can take the lead and we'd be better off supporting them.""<br/><br/>The officers turned amongst themselves and whispered to each other. Evidently the description of Polat had set off the gears inside of them. They all came to the conclusion that if Polat was a Turk and the Guard was fighting him, they would fight the Turks. Circumspect curiosity turned to conscious action. The Guard suddenly became another ally in the war, at least in theory. The Colonel confided with his aide before turning back to Gregovyen on the stage. The aide - a Captain barely older than Gregovyen with a boyish face - nodded and his eyes flickered to Gregovyen. The Colonel sweaty face shone underneath the light above him as he chewed on a stick of gum. ""Lieutenant, if the Guard is an active anti-Turkic force, you have my permission to contact them. I will write up the formal orders and tell the Army Headquarters in Yerevan.""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir,"" Gregovyen responded. ""I have had a full dossier written and sent to your desks. That should elaborate more on what we think about these guys. But I'll ready my men and we can head down by tomorrow.""<br/><br/>The projector shut off, casting darkness back upon the room. The officers debated amongst themselves as they stood, their metal chairs screeching across the concrete floor. Gregovyen looked down at his boots, then at his blouse. He unconsciously smoothed out his thighs and turned to the intelligence officer, still standing in the shadows where the ceiling lights did not illuminate. There was a reason why they were called spooks after all. The officer nodded at Gregovyen and held up a manilla folder. ""I have everything I need to brief the NSS,"" he said. Without so much as a farewell, the officer saluted. When Gregovyen returned it, he wordlessly disappeared into the shadows. The covertness of the act was not lost upon Gregovyen, who took a moment to ponder what was happening. Soon enough there would be no need for secrecy. Soon enough, Armenian troops would be marching to Tbilisi to restore order. Soon enough, they would be showing the world that the post-Ottoman state was no pushover. Where the Ottoman military was stiff, rigid, yet rotten at the core, the Georgian insurgency was the opposite. The spry, flexible fighters were dangerous. More so than the easily outmaneuvered Ottomans. But if they could win, if they could stabilize their northern neighbor, the prestige of the Armenian state would be elevated. They would show the world.<br/><br/><b>Kyrenia, Cyprus</b><br/><br/>The sailors of the<i>Breadwinner of Rize</i>manned the rails in the mild wind, looking towards their first port visit. Clad in blue coveralls, they looked out over the shimmering waters. Cypriot fishermen, sailing out for their daily trips, waved. The Armenians waved back, of course, as the<i>Breadwinner</i>motored slowly into the port of Kyrenia. Captain Vartanesian looked out onto the deck of his vessel from the bridge. Containers with goods were raised and ready to be sold on the docks. It was a goodwill visit: the cargo was mostly Armenian cultural items, and they would be receiving Cypriot goods in exchange. As the<i>Breadwinner</i>circumnavigated the globe, they hoped to do the same at various other ports. But for now, the crew would get to enjoy Cyprus. Captain Vartanesian had a few friends there, and he planned to spend his evening at the taverns. The rest of the crew was free to enjoy liberty under the close supervision of the ship's officers: they didn't want them too rowdy. The last thing that Armenia needed was its sailors exploring the world for the first time and getting into drunken fistfights in exotic ports. As such, Vartanesian decided to shorten the leash. They would have fun, but not too much. It was the best option for everyone. Cyprus was a test run of sorts, since an Armenian military presence at Nicosia would have the safety netting of Armenian MPs. It was best to have that option for the first port landing, just in case. Not that Captain Vartanesian particularly wanted anything to happen. He knew that his crew were good men, but when there was alcohol involved the dynamic could change quite quickly.<br/><br/>""Don't do any stupid shit,"" remarked the personnel officer in a characteristically crude safety speech the evening before. ""No fucking underage girls, no getting wasted, and no fighting the goddamn locals.""<br/><br/>The ship was guided to the shore by Cypriot tugboats staffed by older sailors - the younger men were in the Navy themselves and were thus unable to perform civilian duties. They looked up at the Armenian sailors manning the rails, younger versions of themselves ready to adventure across the seas. The<i>Breadwinner</i>stalled its engines to allow the tugboats to push the ship towards the far dock. Weapons were now ordered to be stowed onboard: the crew gathered burlap sacks to cover the menacing machine guns and autocannons while magazines were unloaded and moved to storage. The threat of interception of the vessel had passed. The Merchant Marine commanders were worried about Turkish forces seeking revenge independent of the armistice and still ordered ships in the Black Sea and Mediterranean to be armed. The<i>Breadwinner</i>faced a special danger from the south, as they could unwarily wander into Spain's naval flotillas currently bombarding Ethiopia's Egyptian possessions. With tensions as high as they were, nobody wanted to sail a merchant ship into a conflict zone and drag Armenia into yet another war. They had just finished with Turkey. It was best not to tangle with Spain. Captain Vartanesian commanded the ship into port - the only sizable pier in the neglected harbor - and dropped anchor at noon. The ramps were brought to the ready, and they disembarked.<br/><br/>A crowd of onlookers had massed at the docks with a contingent of Cypriot policemen and Armenian MPs driving in from Nicosia Airbase. The sailors, having changed from their coveralls to a more ceremonial uniform, strode with swagger onto the pier whilst led by Captain Vartanesian. Clutching seabags in one hand, they waved to the children ready to come see the men who had toppled the Ottoman Empire. The sailors threw candy to the kids and cigarettes to the men and women: they were liberators today, ready to reap the rewards that came with it. Many of them would later be trying to score free deals from prostitutes out in town, claiming their service as reason enough. The harbormaster - a burly, bearded Mediterranean man who looked more like a pugilist than a sailor - had come to greet the Armenian merchant sailors and their skipper. Captain Vartanesian stopped to shake his hand in front of the newly-formed parade, flash bulbs from the Cypriot reporters' cameras dazzling them. ""Good to see you, Captain!"" the harbormaster boomed. He smiled and gripped Vartanesian's hand firmly, with confidence and friendliness.<br/><br/>""How have you been since we last spoke, Mister Kasoudis?"" the Armenian beamed.<br/><br/>""I've been just fine, just fine indeed!"" Kasoudis said cheerily. He looked over his shoulder at the Armenian sailors and grinned again. ""Thank you so much for coming here. I feel like this visit will help the both of us.""<br/><br/>There were rumbles of resentment within the Cypriots about the Armenian airbase at Nicosia. The Air Force squadron in Nicosia had only been mostly on recon sorties throughout the coast, searching for troop shipments that were never there. The locals thought that this would make them a target. However, there had been few reprisal bombings on Cyprus ever since the Cypriot National Army had brutally driven out the Turks early in the war. Their Coast Guard defeated any additional attempts at a sea invasion, and so Cyprus remained a fortress in the Mediterranean. Antiaircraft guns, left behind by retreating Turks, deterred Ottoman aggression by the air. It was secure, but it wanted its peace and quiet. Their banking sector wanted to be left alone and healthy, growing from Armenian businessmen and their investments in the relatively low-tax sector. Their shipping and commerce industry desired to be hidden from Turkish sea raiders and the damages they inflicted on shipping lanes to Greece. They reasoned that if the Armenians left, the Turkish would have less of a problem with them. After all, it was the Armenian state that the Turks had most of their conflict with.<br/><br/>The governments, however, sought to increase their tensions into ""an unshakable alliance spanning the Eastern Mediterranean, deterring further colonial aggression."" This meant, mostly, a deterrent against the Turkish. It also bore the subtext of protection against European invasion, like if the British decided to struggle with the Cypriots for control over the territory. It was a far stretch, but still a protection nonetheless. Vartanesian knew that his countrymen were amiable to an idea of a bloc formed with the other post-Ottoman states, and considered himself a supporter as well. Cyprus was a good a place to start as any. With a solid foundation of trust and friendship formed between the Armenians and Cypriots, a political and military alliance would build itself naturally. The Air Force and Navy were both making their cases to the civilian political leadership of Armenia and Cyprus in order to further establish power projection points into the Mediterranean. The strategic location was not lost on them. They could strike Turkey if need be, and stand ready to support allied governments in Greece, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Ethiopian Egypt. It would further secure trade out of the Bosporus and Dardanelles, just like what the<i>Breadwinner</i>was already doing. The Greeks in particular had also voiced support of Nicosia turning into a joint base: they would be able to have another angle of approach into Turkey if their coastal Anatolian possessions came into danger.<br/><br/>""Well, Mister Kasoudis, I suppose we should commence this visit in good spirits,"" said Vartanesian with a wave of his hand to the parade of sailors. ""My men will take to your hospitality. Don't worry, I have made sure that they will behave!""<br/><br/>Both of the seamen shared a hearty laugh, looking over at the men half their age prancing into taxis and streetcars on the nearby road. The onlookers had dispersed, driven back by the approach of Cypriot stevedores in pickups and work trucks. They went back to their stores and their homes, many to open up shop to the port visit. Kasoudis, twirling the end of his mustache, smirked. ""They're sailors, not saints!"" he reminded the Armenian.<br/><br/>Captain Vartanesian removed his cap to tuck it under his arm and cracked a crooked grin. He smoothed out his white dress uniform's blouse and looked back at the tanned Mediterranean man. ""I believe our respective agencies have worked out the finances and trading of this deal. We'll let the dockworkers do the rest.""<br/><br/>""They know what they're doing, they'll get it done.""<br/><br/>Vartanesian nodded and ran a hand through his thick, curly hair. ""Oh, and make sure they don't break my ship,"" he joked, pointing to the dent where Trabzon's dockworkers had smashed a cargo container into the hull during military resupply operations after the battle.<br/><br/>The harbormaster looked up at where Vartanesian had pointed and let out a hearty chuckle. ""Worry not, comrade. You are safe in Cyprus."""

The countryside after the rain glistened as the last drops slid down the glass window panes. With the cessation of the tapping of rainwater on the roof an air of excitement came over the men in the country-side gambling house. Chairs shuffled across the unfinished wood floor and gathered at the windows. Their foot falls heavy as they moved about, shouting at laughing at each other. And behind his closed doors The Cashier was weighing the pot.<br/><br/>There was a general air of excitement that moved through. Like a warm breeze it swept through, picking up men like leafs of paper. The swept about the room and through the doors. Outside the muddy parking lot was beginning to rumble with the sound of engines.<br/><br/>“Tui, are you really sure about this?” Cong protested, hands stuffed deeply into his pockets. His head sunk down, ware-fully watching the much larger gamblers that bustled about the cramped house. His face was pale, and he strained his words around his anxiety, “You can back out now, if you want?”<br/><br/>Tui laughed dismissively, wrapping a large arm around the meek and diminutive boy. Cong flinches at his touch, his face shooting to the side where a heavy hand affirmatively squeezed his shoulder. “Don't worry!” Tui boasted, “I've done this more than once. And besides: if I back out now I can say goodbye to my money.<br/><br/>“And my parents will kill me if I loose my week's allowance.”<br/><br/>“But what if you lose anyways!?” Cong protested in a hushed voice. He watched with wide eyes the muscle bound bouncer walk by the two in the narrow entrance hall, a cigarette hung limp in his bulbous sausage lips.<br/><br/>“Not happening!” Tui beamed confidently. “I haven't lost a race to date!” he boasted, holding out his chest.<br/><br/>“You've only been in one!” Cong scoffed.<br/><br/>“And I won it.” the mechanically-minded youth smiled, beating his fist into his chest.<br/><br/>“That still doesn't mean anything.”<br/><br/>“Of course it does.”<br/><br/>“Please, come on. Let's get Feng and go back home.” Cong argued back. Feng herself was in the corner of the living room. Legs crossed sitting on the battered wooden radio teasing the odd gambler. On account of her preference there was little chance she was serious in any of her flirts. “I thought this was just some road trip. Fuck, something to do before the last quarter.”<br/><br/>“And it is!” Pui Tui beamed, “You're going to love it, I promise. I'll let you have window seats too. Let you hold onto the door.”<br/><br/>“I'm going to have no choice on this am I?” sighed Cong, his stomach nodded with dread, “You're dead set on this?”<br/><br/>“Of course I am.” his friend nodded, “And besides, I don't think you're going to want to be around the spectators for anything but five minutes. Not the way your face looks.” he pointed out to the gathering on the front porch where stood a motley crew of dirty and twitchy men with bottles of cheap booze in their hands.<br/><br/>“What about Feng then, is she coming?”<br/><br/>“If she wants.” Pui Tui answered, “But if she doesn't then I'm not concerned. Remember what she and Mei did at that one club however many months back?”<br/><br/>“Didn't it involve a bottle?”<br/><br/>“Yea, some American kwai lo tried to reach for them. They put a fucking glass bottle into his face. I'm sure Feng can hold up to these guys if she wanted.” laughed Tui, “You on the other hand, I never know about you.”<br/><br/>“Shit, you're like a bad brother.” Yan Cong grumbled to Tui's amusement.<br/><br/>“Brothers!” a voice boomed out. The sharp suddenness forcing Cong to jump back into the wall like a frog. His face going an even more ghostly pale as he pressed himself back. Illiciting smart laughter from The Cashier as he passed them by, “Race is set to begin!” the mixed race man beckoned as he stepped through the door, holding out his arms. The two city kids followed him, Cong more apprehensive than he could have been.<br/><br/>“I have the winner's pot from the racers. I'll be taking bets from anyone not.” he said loud and thunderously. His ripping deep voice cut even above the engines that had been started early, “The road warriors can get to their cars now.”<br/><br/>“Come on!” Tui urged, tugging Cong's sleeve. “You coming Feng!?” he shouted, looking behind him.<br/><br/>Feng smiled, brushing aside a stray lock of her oil-black hair and shook her head, “I'm fine here.” she said. Cong couldn't help but feel she knew she could freely avoid a ride in Pui Tui's beast. Cong wasn't given any chance to protest as he swept across the muddy ground by the meat of his shoulder. His friend pulling him along at a racer's pace. It was hardly a blink of the eye that he was again on the fake leather seating of the modifier pick up with the Tei Gui engine seated in the back. He could feel his heart beginning to flutter early and his stomach anxiously searching for something to evict. But the pork buns he had that morning were too far gone to be regurgitated.<br/><br/>For Pui Tui it was a moment of excitement. Birds flew madly in his stomach as he flew the ignition. His head swam in a sea of excitement as he heard the engine's roar behind him, another successful ignition. The steering wheel vibrated madly in his hands. The bed rocked and rumbled.<br/><br/>With a roar the air filled with black smoke and he gave a cheer as he backed up through the wet sticky mud. Already the other competitors were beginning to line up. In the mirrors he could see them. And in the same mirrors he could see the spectators waving them off. Amid the thunder of the engines as they lined up The Cashier rose his voice to give the rules, a mere formality.<br/><br/>Racers to line up in columns of two on the road. First to make it back around the hill wins. Avoid running the others off the road, deaths are too much of an insurance threat to clean up. He didn't need to hear it. The thrumming of adrenaline in his ears was too much. Cong whimpered like a worried dog as he fastened himself in with the safety belt and braced his knees against the dashboard.<br/><br/>As he filled in his place he flipped on the radio, scrambling through the stations, passed the talk news. Hoping to find something akin to music. Sharp twangs burst from the radio as he found just that. Low, bluesy, and almost certainly pulled from America he found the guitarwork of one of the few imports from the US left to live in China. Harvey Edwards, backed by Chen Yiaoliang with his more traditional strings. Old and new, a juxtaposition the two shared and had a basis for their own intertwined careers.<br/><br/>He didn't care. Now the clouds were thinning the station was more there than not. It was music, if spaced between moments of static irregularity. It'd be his sound track to victory. Cong shut his eyes tight in expectation for what was to begin.<br/><br/>Tense moments passed the racers by as they idled. Their motors revving and dying with an anxious restrained fury. Like dogs at the cage ready to charge. The short back of another lightly modified Quilin, similar to that as Tui's stood between he and the open road. Although with a back free it was a lighter built vehicle. Alongside him a sedan of so many mismatched parts and jagged paint jobs lay crouched against the rocky broken road.<br/><br/>The racers all seemed to wait. Whether a signal or an action. But to the side across the muddy front lawn The Cashier and his company stood at wait without motion, or suggestion at motion. Smiling at each other over bottles of cheap alcohol and smokey cigarettes.<br/><br/>Finally the tension broke with a squeal of tires and a fountain of thick heavy mud. The Quilin truck ahead of Tui lit up its wheels and spun them in the sticky muck, tossing it thick into Tui's windshield before speeding off for the road, in quick succession the rest gave chase, rocketing thick fans of deep blackened mud high into the air and across the bodies of all cars that dared pass to close. Cong recoiled back against the windows as the soaked dirt smashed against the glass in heavy frothy thuds.<br/><br/>Pui Tui acted as fast as he could, whipping on the windshield whippers and not sprinting from the start. Delicately coaxing the accelerator he set off for the road, avoiding the slippery earth in much a way the rest of his competition did not. As they spun onto the wet tarmac he pulled out, merging into the thinning lines before he slammed the gas.<br/><br/>The accelerator roared to life behind them. Crying in rage and in pain. The pistons slamming as the motor turned with a vicious roar. More than it had before. It wasn't a constant loud hum, it was a roar that muted all sounds. Dullening the radio and masking it, the song becoming distant and nonexistence to the fierce diesel explosion that propelled them forward.<br/><br/>Despite the violent tossing of the vehicles the sharp acceleration of the truck threw Cong for once back into the seat. He sat hands pressed against the back of his seat and the door, starring wide-eye out the front window. The world blurred before him. The trees getting lost in the haze of speed.<br/><br/>Within inches the car of another racer nearly brushed to a grinding demise alongside Tui. Pressed between he and the steep hillside off the side. The two competed neck and neck, driving themselves to the greatest of their vehicle's extent. Looking out at it, Cong could not help but feel nausea. His chest fluttering with sharp biting fear he stuffed his head between his knees, fighting to keep jagged breaths steadily.<br/><br/><b>Cantina Madrid, Kowloon, Hong Kong</b><br/><br/>“So he told me as we sat by the river that the secret to global peace isn't Communism, nor democracy!” the creature proclaimed. His voice was sweet as the color red and ran as heavenly as the rain. In much the same way his face shifted in awe. “But that in reality, the ultimate society is that lacking in materialism.” the now-horse man proclaimed confidently. His eyes somewhere between an insect and a fish. Or maybe it was a fern.<br/><br/>Mei lounged across red pillows, like several others gathered. Their faces melted and froze in fractal patterns. Disobeying space and time as they sat simply drinking the man's words from the cool glass of his mouth as they swam high on the acid.<br/><br/>“He said that it's really material greed that imprisons us the conflict.” the man continued. He sounded simultaneously lost and found. But the same could be asked of everyone else in the maroon landscape. From off in some distant corner a strange melancholic music played. It was like the soft playful flow of a waterfall. Mei could feel it wash over her as she lay against the cushions. Ebbing waves of azure and teal bands snaked across her body. She couldn't just see the notes of the song as they were, but felt them. Both hot and cold. They wrapped through her very fiber the way the air-conditioning of the underground bar did.<br/><br/>It was a surreal sensation. It wasn't terrifying. It felt like a blessing. Like what it was to be truly alive. No matter the strange way the world changed. At times figures looks dimly resembling of newspaper photo clippings. Some stretched and warped. A few times she couldn't help but stare curiously at the host or the other guests as they took on shapes that resembled her friends. It reminded her, if only for a moment, that she should try to invite them.<br/><br/>But then maybe she'll forget.<br/><br/>The thought made her giggle madly. “Happiness comes with freedom!” the hippo exclaimed, pausing from his speech to praise Mei Hsui Mei, “That's a truth, sister. A deeper color, I tell you.”<br/><br/>The attention he gave her made her laugh more. She ran her fingers through her long silken black hair as she smiled back. Her hair felt like pearls between her fingers. Running fine and cool between her fingers like water fresh out of the tap. She toyed with the banana tucked between her breasts. She didn't know why it was there, it just was. No one could explain it, and it was doubted anyone would want to. They were too deep into the trip.<br/><br/>“Then what does the Man in black have to say about things are they are then?” chirped a buzzard, prying into the situation. He sounded just as lost as they are in the fantasy he was in, but no doubt beginning to climb out of it, “Of China now. Where it is headed. The material world coming in.”<br/><br/>The ostrich rose a finger, bleeting. “It's a test.” he said, “I think. I don't know. I don't remember that far.” he said giving himself an excuse. One which made the group laugh.<br/><br/>“But I would imagine it is not good in the long run, but not as evil as that of Spain or the United States, who must drown themselves in materialism. It's really something of a shame, I think.<br/><br/>“Would you say?” the man asked, leaning towards Mei, brushing a gentle finger across her cheek. She not only felt it on the surface of her skin but deep inside. Like being stroked there on a hundred different levels in a hundred different universes. She would have given him an answer but the pleasure she felt ensured that he was again shifting to something reflective of it. And at best he looked like an angel from the next dimension. It stunned her to silence. Or wild giggling.<br/><br/>Bathed in red lights the Cantina Madrid was for the better part of a day a warping fantasyscape hidden underneath some grimy restaurant in Hong Kong. It was an escape for those who knew about it. The Ethiopians, the Chinese rebel, or the odd Russian that had stumbled into the hidden world this far south. It was where the outside could be forgotten for twenty-four hours, and no one would come to look for you.<br/><br/>The presiding masters of this inter-dimensional pocket ruled over with benevolence. For a few Yen they footed the tiny inconspicuous drops upon their visitors. Sugar pills wrapped in a film of paper that melted on the mouth, adorned with the anonymous image of some strange African with a fine dress suit and thick afro.<br/><br/>It was this unknown character that also hung from a far wall, and was for all curiosities the one thing that didn't change in the entire trip. The Cantina could turn into a forest, and its visitors having left existence or become fantastic animals. And there stapled to the trunk of a tree was the Cantina's blown up painting of the man on the pills.<br/><br/>He was strange. Inviting. But dressed nice, almost as if to mourn or to kill someone. Dressed to opress, as some said. But his hands held out with a polite smile. The words that were his slogan printed over at least a half dozen times. “Try me.” he said.<br/><br/>“Try me.” always.<br/><br/>Mei's hands crept back up to the banana pocketed between her small, tight tits. Her gown and bra doing the extra work to hold it against her chest. It was warm and leathery. And soon she would need to unwrap it and eat. The trip would wear out soon, and the real world would come back and she'd be hungry. The proprietors would give her an apple and a glass of water before sending her off back. No one got to trip twice. And then it'd be weeks or months before she came back.<br/><br/>But for now it was time to enjoy it. Wavering, what little of the present was allowed to leak away. The chattering of their courier becoming a soft wind in a surreal landscape of night skies. She allowed herself to pass into different worlds and different locations for the final leg of her trip.<br/><br/><b>Omsk, Russia</b><br/><br/>It had been awkward being back at the controls again. For being back from negligent driving, it felt too soon. Back on familiar group he would have been ordered to stay out of a tank for several months and forced to clean and polish the armor of the entire battalion. But not just more than a day after his infraction he was back. And now he peered out through the dirtied and scratched glass of his view ports at the war zone of Omsk.<br/><br/>The tank itself yielded ever more to the side than it used to. A struggle he kept up with on a constant basis as he drove the Teigui ahead into the thick. Since their temporary setback Chinese forces had made headway into the city alongside their Siberian allies. But given the sounds of mortars had not died away, or were even muffled out by the sound of the clanging engine of their own vehicle it was not a victory. Nor was the battle at any state to be decided. But it had for sure decided Omsk itself.<br/><br/>The city had not been turned as inside out as at happened to their homeland against the Japanese, or the newscasts and photos from abroad in other conflicts. But the wounds were there, open to the cool Russian spring air and wet with recent rains. Imploded on themselves entire blocks of offices stood empty with deep gashes having torn out their sides. The layout of their floors and walls opened to the day time air, resembling the butchered flesh of an animal; the skin removed the bones and the meat shown.<br/><br/>Piles of rubble littered the roads, making moving difficult and long. He did not know how many times he was ordered to turn back, or to move left or right as they avoided clearing crews digging through the effect of artillery and bombing. Sun Song stood through the turret hatch. He swayed as the tank yawed scanning the roadways for obstructions and delivering orders on that. Somewhere on the front - when they found it - would be their unit.<br/><br/>There was something else that Li Tsung could not ignore, even through the murky windows of his viewing. That despite the intensity of the violence that brooded over the city like a cold blanket, and the soldiers of several insignias present that life tried to persist. Whether incapable, slow, or stubborn to evacuate civilians wandered the streets. Their backs bent and skin pale as they looked both skyward for bombs and forwards for bullets they shuffled along the side of the streets, passed the lone rolling tank as it cut its way through the city of Omsk.<br/><br/>These people who should have left or been killed still remained. And though short still the battle was evident on their expressions. Sunken, darkened, and bruised. The quick mercies of being caught in a bomb or at the end of a sniper's scope were not a concern. It was merely abating the slow demise of other means. And at least among the occupiers they could try to cling to whatever illusion of safety from the front as they could. This far behind the Chinese line they were far from the sway and whipping flow of combat.<br/><br/>A metal pounding echoed through the tank. Sun Song knocking on the hull. “Stop here!” he called out.<br/><br/>Tsung obliged the order. The brakes groaned and the tank was brought to a ambling pause in the street. With a hard snap he locked the brakes on and looked out on the streets. On the far side of the murky glass plates Tsung watched a soldier walk off the sidewalk to them. He reached out to the driver's hatch and threw it open, pulling himself out as the man walked up to alongside their vehicle.<br/><br/>“Good afternoon, comrade.” the man said, rifle slung unceremoniously at his shoulder. He was definitely Chinese, his face dirtied.<br/><br/>“We're on our way to the...” Song began, pausing as he pulled out a slip of paper from his coat pocket. His face strained as he concentrated on it, “Internatsionalnava.” he read.<br/><br/>The soldier smiled as he turned to look down the street. Piles of discarded garbage and more than a few collapsed homes lay out in the street. Over head street-car cables lay in nested piles atop stray colored bricks. “Then you were on the right path.” he laughed, “But they I guess blew the bridges down that way.” he pointed. “Before we could, uh, send in relief units to support the advancing armor they blew the Pytor bridge and the Karla Marksa.<br/><br/>“They tried to hit the big one over the Om, but they botched the demolition job. We can still cross it but only in single-file.”<br/><br/>Song nodded, he fought to keep a frown off of his face. “Where are we then?” he asked unsure.<br/><br/>“Pytor street, I think.” shrugged the soldier, “It gets hard when the street signs are missing.” he admitted with a strained laugh. “You can just keep driving straight forward until you hit the river,” he continued, pointing down the street. Rows of old imperial baroque and revivalist homes and offices marched down the pitted street. Their once brightly colored walls now faded from their once bright light-pinks, yellows, and oranges.<br/><br/>“Then, uh, I guess you can take a right there if Republican mortars haven't collapsed anything into the road yet.” he finished.<br/><br/>“Is that a problem?” Song asked<br/><br/>“Now and then.” the soldier shrugged, stepping aside as a tired old man pushed along a wooden cart. He watched him down the street with a cautious suspicious look, “They kept trying to target the rest of their bridge but gave up then. We've helicopters out looking for their mortar positions across the Irtysh.”<br/><br/>“Can we cross?”<br/><br/>“Not unless a Tei-Gui doubles as a boat I doubt we can.” the rifleman spat.<br/><br/>“Question, sir.” Tsun asked. The soldier looked down at the driver leaning out through his hatch.<br/><br/>“Yes?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Why are there civilians still here? Shouldn't they have fled a long time ago?”<br/><br/>“That is an enigma and a mystery all its own.” the rifleman shrugged, “They refuse to leave. Even with our occupation they try to ignore us.<br/><br/>“I'm fine with this. But we're not all sure. Some men have started talking about black ghosts with horse heads wandering the street at night. I haven't seen anything, but best to keep your wits about you. I heard rumors that an extra unit will be called in to simply help police things. This entire city stinks.”<br/><br/>Song nodded. “Tsung,” he shouted, banging on the hull of the turret with his knuckles, “Take us down to the end of the road.”<br/><br/>“Yes sir!” Tsung responded, dropping back into the port, shutting the hatch with a loud clang behind him.<br/><br/>“And comrade!” the rifleman called out to them as the tank began to lurch forward, “Watch your out there. Snipers are on the river!”<br/><br/>“Thanks for the warning.” Song thanked, sitting back inside the turret.<br/><br/><b>”Site 62-69”, Russia</b><br/><br/>The concrete walls muffled the sound of helicopters as they passed over the former prison complex. The glass panes in the office windows rattled as they flew over head, passing low and close as they made to land outside the fence of the Chinese-occupied prison. Operations were in full swing and over the past several weeks Quan Yun-qi had been ordering the execution of patrols and raids against Republican assets in the north. It was light business, and the capture of the prison seemed it had gone largely unnoticed. The capture of its walls and the troops that held it as a fort buried in Yekaterinburg and Moscow's heft list of mounting issues.<br/><br/>There was an uneasy sense of isolation with the outside world. Though regular flights were beginning to take root in this Siberian wilderness there was a feeling of anxiety that the Russians could retake their outpost. They were only some several thousand strong, and over the past few weeks the limited resources of the former prison were beginning to dwindle. Some even complained about a shortage in light bulbs and returning patrols and raids were affirming that there'd be no hold on use of medical supplies.<br/><br/>To be supplied by air never made matters any better. It was their main link to the friendly line. The tensity at the outpost wasn't made better when late shipments had caused concern when rumors started that the Russians had shot down that day's resupply mission. The helicopters had to cross a great deal of distance to reach their position, so it was logical they could. Even with fighters patrolling the area between them and the airbases.<br/><br/>Still, to some degree of stress Quan Yun-qi had stamped out any serious concern. He bidded their time and focused their energies away from their forward operating position. And as on orders, he was requested to perform raids. He did so without hesitation, and there was no one more volunteering than Tsien Huang.<br/><br/>Yun-qi scratched at the unshaven stubble beginning to grow on his broad rounded chin. Huang was a threatening sort of person, though fiercely loyal. But it was this marriage of traits that was frightening. On the taking of the position alone - when they had counted the bodies Russian and Chinese – it was suggested Huang could have facilitated to the immolation of over twenty-five persons, as well as the known incineration of a large quarter of the original compound; which had been dutifully leveled and opened as a temporary airfield.<br/><br/>Like he, Huang had been in the Philippines. Just in a different part of the islands at the time. He rarely discussed it, only discussing the role in the use of fire that he'd been thrust into. His introduction to the flame thrower. He'd come out as physically fine as any. But if he was hiding something deeper it couldn't be said. And that terrified Quan, who often times woke up with images of Mindanao fading in his vision.<br/><br/>He reached out for the cup of tea at his desk, alongside it was a map of the local region of Russia. He had marked their approximate location with red marker, and loosely plotted their ride likewise with the same marker. It was all done by notes taken the hard way. There was hardly anything of note in way of a landmark in this part of Siberia; nothing that'd show on a map at least. And half the roads known to the he and his men were not plotted.<br/><br/>The air was cold, and the hot tea helped soothe that as he raised it to his lips. The warm steam bathing his face, melting the numbness that had taken hold there. The compound itself had run scarce on fuel and all they could muster came from resupply. It was made worse that the Republic had obviously cut off their electricity and now the entire site was powered by generators that bit into the now rationed gas. So now while the lights were on there was no heat. What they could get in way of that was from older means of heating, such as the fires that burned in the courtyard of stoking stoves with charcoal. The method was getting attention from the regiment's cooks, who seemed to be trying to turn it into a game, which was fine with Yun-qi.<br/><br/>He put the glass of tea down and leaned over the map on the desk. Set off to the side was a book of coordinates he had been given from his communication's officer. He had been carefully plotting them over the half-hour. Many of which landed north of the small town in the far bottom-right corner: Surgut. He presumed they were oil wells they wanted him to hit.<br/><br/>There was a surreal lack of settlements even this far north. Site 62-69 was probably by far the first human-built anything they'd ever come across in northern Russia. From there south the marks of human progress would be found. But only scattered until they neared Kazakhstan. And everything else marked had such long bent names that he was sure he would never be able to remember them right.<br/><br/>The door to Yun-Qi's office groaned open, and he looked up from the map. The room was sparsely decorated, having seized it from the former warden, or commander. Whoever he was. Like he, the personal effects were packed away somewhere beyond his reach; he didn't know what'd happen to them or the former commander.<br/><br/>The door was reflective of the room. Or as much as it could. Simple, bare, industrial. Flat. Its hinges were poorly alligned and the metal cheap and corroding. And even for Tsien Huang it was by no means a stealthy way to enter.<br/><br/>The sergeant stepped into the room, turning to Yun-Qi. His broad caveman face held flat as he rose his hand to salute. “Commander, comrade.” he said.<br/><br/>“Huang.” Yun-qi greeted.<br/><br/>“I'm here to deliver my debriefing.” the man said, walking across the room. His armor hung loose under his uniform, half-way to being unhitched. A heavy brown scarf hung off the soldier's neck guard.<br/><br/>“Then debrief.”<br/><br/>“To make it short, nothing happened.” Tsien Huang began dismissively. Either it was the fact he was presenting another debriefing or that nothing had happened that dug at him. His words were layered with a ripe bitterness. “Xiàshì Huen saw a deer while we patrolled south. He bagged it with his gun and we loaded it on our personnel carriers. This was about eleven in the morning. Around twelve we navigated south-west for thirty minutes and came on an abandoned cottage. The roof may have collapsed in from the snow this past window. We searched the scene but didn't find anything of note. So we turned back north and came home.<br/><br/>“At approximately twelve-thirty Junshi An's personnel carrier ran across a ditch of unmelted snow and fell through, throwing him off. He recovered and is in good order but I ordered him to the infirmary to keep him checked out. He complained his shoulder hurt as we righted his vehicle, which took close to twenty minutes.<br/><br/>“We got back about two hours after that.”<br/><br/>Quan Yun-Qi was tempted to scold Huang for allowing his men to recklessly discharge his weapon. But over the past few weeks this had tempered when his unit began taking deer on patrol or anything they could recover in an effort to make up for what many complained to be poor rations. They were turned in for part of the cook's games with wood and charcoal.<br/><br/>He'd reported the matter to general Wen. He had no issue with the matter. Offering support in the form of reciting Sun Tzu. He publicly dropped all show of disagreement against his unit since.<br/><br/>“So was that all that happened?” Yun-qi asked.<br/><br/>“I wish not, but it is.” Huang sighed, “Somedays I wish the Republic would do something. We fight deep in the streets to the south, and here we are waving our dicks in the cold wind.”<br/><br/>“I wouldn't get too impatient.” the officer counseled, looking up from the map.<br/><br/>“You got orders for something?” Huang asked.<br/><br/>“Not sure, only coordinates.” Yun-qi replied.<br/><br/>Huang nodded, walking close to the desk. He carried a strong odor about him. He stopped short and looked down at the map, at the red marks.<br/><br/>“I see.” he said.<br/><br/>“Don't tell anyone.” Yun-qi scolded, “If I hear talk, I'll know. I'll tell the men in time.”<br/><br/>“Which is?”<br/><br/>“When the orders come in.” he grumbled, “You're dismissed by the way.”<br/><br/>“Yes comrade.” Huang bowed, “Have a good day.”<br/><br/><b>Perm, Russia</b><br/><br/>The cool night sung with the drips of water as long shadows cast by the streetlamps flooded the alleys with a thick black soup. Fresh from rain the fire escapes and gutters above leaked water onto the twisted cobblestone below. Trashcans sat thrown against the walls. And somewhere a feral dog barked madly. The sounds and darkness of night no hindrance to the laughing men who stumbled out of door, lighting the alley with a bright flare of yellow light. As sudden as it had opened it slammed closed, letting the sheep out into the night.<br/><br/>Cackling and laughing they staggered through the darkness. Cigarettes clenched in their teeth and a bottle of beer or vodka in their hands. They staggered drunken and stoned through the night, unaware of the predator after them.<br/><br/>“Cheers to Bogdan, who can no doubt drink the dead to under the table!” roared one of the men as he staggered to alongside a trash bin, raising his bottle of vodka over his head. He stared off emptily into the night, cheeks a rosy red. His head swam in a warm sea of inebriation.<br/><br/>“Aye, and to the health of the Czar!” laughed another.<br/><br/>“Not even the bar could handle.” cackled another.<br/><br/>Merry and warm the men staggered through the alley. Stepping out into the moonlight. Roaring and howling at the moon. “I'm flying so damn high right now.” said one amazed, stepping all over the sidewalk. His eyes dilated tight.<br/><br/>“If you had any more Vsevolod you would be catatonic.” jeered another, “Is good. You not going to pass out?”<br/><br/>Vsevolod staggered to a stop and swayed where he stood. His face scrunched into that of confusion. “What the fuck did you say?” he whipped out. He charged forward, but in a few steps it turned into a messy stuppor and he stopped short of who he was approaching.<br/><br/>“He can't even fight right!” one of them laughed, holding out his bottle.<br/><br/>“God damn it, you fucking say what?” spat Vsevolod, “I'll destroy you, swear on my mother.”<br/><br/>“I wouldn't promise that.” crooned another man. Taller, with a messy head of hair.<br/><br/>“Semyon, I'll come for you next.” sneered Vsevolod as he turned around. Throwing himself dizzy he nearly fell backwards. But by chance he threw his foot back and re caught what was left of his balance. To him his world was a swimming mix of shapes, dancing in the midst of a whirlpool. And he was watching himself be the fool, unable to stop himself before reason caught up.<br/><br/>“What was that shit anyways?” he burped, performing a sharp one-eighty.<br/><br/>“A magician never reveals his secret.” Semyon smiled, clapping his hands. He stepped forward, a little sloppy but more coherent than the rest.<br/><br/>“In any case, that was a killer present.” a large figure said, “I won't be coming down for weeks!”<br/><br/>Semyon smiled warmly. He would keep winning off of him until he fell over dead. “The pleasure is all mine to help a friend have fun!” he boasted.<br/><br/>“Well let's get home and have more. I'LL PAY!”<br/><br/>The proposal was met with wild roars of agreement and they shuffled back through the streets again. But it wasn't more than a few steps until the men stopped cold. Behind them something clattered against the cement of the pavement. “Who the fuck!?” Vsevold boomed.<br/><br/>“Calm down, it's probably just a cat.” Semyon comforted, walking up to the stoned individual. He held out a hand to turn him around, with a slap he smacked his hand away.<br/><br/>“No. Fuck it. I'm tired of this shit!” he shouted, “Fucking tired. I got to go cut some shit. Fucking pussies. I don't care. I'll cut it. Cut it. I'm hungry for its blood.”<br/><br/>Semyon threw his arms out from his side, letting the drunkard stagger to the disturbance. Somehow the unprovoking provocation had given him enough purpose to take control of his world as he staggered left to right through the streetlights.<br/><br/>“Vesevold, for fuck's sakes. Come back!” one of his friends yelled. But he didn't respond, and turning a corner he disappeared into the darkness.<br/><br/>“We got to go get him.” one of the other drunks suggested soberly, following after him with just as much success. The others followed suit, leaving Semyon alone. The dealer stared at them perplexed, and deeply confused. Junkies were hardly ever predictable. But it was one of those moments he second guessed his career choice. But he knew he had to follow them if he was going to get anything out of them.<br/><br/>Stuffing his hands in his pockets he followed after, grumbling under his breath.<br/><br/>He rounded the corner into the alley where they had just come. His feet gliding shallow over the stones. He barked angrily as he stepped into a warm puddle, recoiling back as he shook his foot. “God fucking dammit.” he cursed. Another drunk not too long ago must have let go of his entire bladder there. The growing anger was beginning to not mix well with his buzz, and very quickly the night was going south.<br/><br/>No sooner had he put his foot down it hit something else. Toes first he kicked into and stumbled over something large in his path. He came unhinged from the ground, and his arms flailed in the cool night air as he plummeted face-first to the ground. With a solid meaty “umph” he landed atop something. The shadows making it all but its lumpy shape clear.<br/><br/>“The fuck?” Semyon cursed, as he picked himself up. His hand dropping into a puddle of something warm and sticky. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks, and his face went frozen. His bowls released themselves into his pants, filling them with yet another uncomfortable sensation. His stomach felt weak, and his head cold.<br/><br/>He shuddered as he picked himself up. The entire world closing in on him as he reached out for what he hand landed on, feeling it over with his hands. Still warm. Dressed in clothing. The familiar feel of a face, and an open mouth as he fingers explored the dark and still face of one of the men he had just been with. All the sudden the bricks turned to a terrifying tide, and he wasted no time to throw himself off the ground.<br/><br/>Uncomfortable and uncoordinated he tossed himself up and to the side. His awareness failed, and he quickly fell back to the ground, clambering over the bodies and pools of blood as he struggled to get himself to his feet. His head spun and he felt weak. His world shrunk around him, narrowing out to only himself and the bodies.<br/><br/>Slipping across a pool of blood he managed to pull himself up. Stumbling against the cold wet stone of the wall. He climbed up, hugging the stone as he cried out in fear. “I- I- I-” he babbled, “No- No. I didn't do this. I- I need to get out of here.” he stammered. Turning for the road, heart beating like a machine gun in his chest. He wasn't a step out before something grabbed him and threw him against the wall.<br/><br/>“I didn't!” he screamed out, “Don't!”<br/><br/>“What if I do?” a voice said, low and cold. It carried a heavy oriental ring.<br/><br/>“B-because I'm not worth it.” Semyon cringed, “God damn it. Please don't.”<br/><br/>“I need information.” the man said.<br/><br/>“Then I don't have it.” Semyon moaned. He wormed off from the wall. Only for the man to grab hold of him again and slam him against the wall. He hissed as pain split through his skull as it recontacted with the rough brick work.<br/><br/>“Jesus!” he barked, “You fucking psycho, man. What do you want?”<br/><br/>“Information.”<br/><br/>“On what, my cache? Fucking tell me what!” Seymon demanded. His head was a rattle of broken glass, and the back throbbed with volcanic pain.<br/><br/>“I'm looking for someone.”<br/><br/>“Shit I see a lot of someones you fucking celestial!” Seymon spat, “Who?”<br/><br/>“Goes by the name Gabriel.” Jun sneered, leaning in close on the drug dealer. He rank of alcohol, fearful piss, and sweat.<br/><br/>“G-Gabriel?” Seymon stammered, “I- I don't know a Gabriel. And you wouldn't want to know! That man has some issues, and no one knows where he comes and goes.”<br/><br/>“And what of Wraith?” Jun demanded.<br/><br/>“Fuck you talking about? Those bastards following the guy with the horse head? Shit, I don't get into that you fucking chink. I just deal dope is all!”<br/><br/>“Then you'll know someone who knows.” Jun growls.<br/><br/>“No man, this isn't worth it.” Seymon grumbled, squirming and trying to find a way out. His daft attempt at escaping was brought to a pause as the long cold metal of a blade was brought to his neck. He could feel the still-warm trickle of blood. His breathing froze. What breath he could draw quivered weakly as he faintly drew back his neck from the sharp bite of the blade.<br/><br/>“I'll gut you you here as I did your comrades.” Jun demanded, pressing the sword to Seymon's throat. He whimpered at the closing nibble of the Chinese blade.<br/><br/>“Go ahead. I don't got nothing to say. Alive or dead.”<br/><br/>The maodao hovered at his throat. Jun contemplated slitting it there and ending it. He was lingering in the alley too long, and he wasn't sure when the door would open again. Fleeing or moving to kill the newcomers would just give his first known lead a chance to escape.<br/><br/>“Perhaps I won't.” sighed Jun, lowering the sword. Not from his neck, but to the groin of his pants.<br/><br/>“N-now there's no n-need for this!” Seymon laughed nervously. “I-I uh, I'm telling the truth. I don't know where they are. I know they're here. Those freaks with the horse heads have been in town and we've found a few men strapped dead to crosses, so Gabriel is in.<br/><br/>“T-the man who makes me crystal, he knows!” Seymon wailed pleading, “Just not there. I'll give you his name, apartment! Alexondronovich Basily. Motovilikhnisky Rayon. Imeni-Lenin road. Building 14, floor 6, room 016!”<br/><br/>“And he knows?”<br/><br/>“I'm sure he should man!” Seymon squeeled, “Or something. But for christ sakes, not the penis. I use that!”<br/><br/>Jun drew the sword from his crotch. He held the man's face in the cold air, looking him over. With a dismissive grumble he threw the man down against the ground. His body landing in a tumbling thump against the bodies of the drunkards and junkies. Whimpering he rolled among them in the night shadows of Perm.<br/><br/><b>Chake Bay, Pemba, Ethiopia</b><br/><br/>Drums echoed in the high afternoon light as drills went underway. The sound of marching boot steps accompanied the beat, accompanied by the shrill brassy rings of cymbols. Even more distantly the pops of rifle fire from the range wafted along the cool sea-side breeze. Beyond that the distance muffled the sound of a descending airplane, it being only evident on the horizon as a faint light-gray shape descending from the sky.<br/><br/>Cut off the routine drills, the back veranda of the officer's quarter was a world away from itself. It looked down on the bay the operational outpost was named for. Its crystal blue waters lapping languidly against the pearl-white sands of the shore. Flocks of gulls – long accustomed to the sounds of Chinese operation – flew between the rocks and the swaying palms below. Squabbling flocks darted along the sands, competing with several other birds for the hunt for crabs or a place to sun themselves while the afternoon was full of light. Often times Deizhi Cao would sit on the porch in the comfort of wicker chairs, sipping tea in meditation. Or drawing the birds as they came up to the porch railings. But now things had changed.<br/><br/>The thirty-eight year old officer sat against the back of the chair. His face sunken in with murky worry. A dark cloud loomed in the north. Far beyond his gaze and the formal extent of his informal kingdom. A Spanish behemoth went to war, swinging with the force of iron against the African lion. He could sit there and listen to the reports on the radio all day. But the circumstances never changed, and neither did his feelings on the matter. He was afraid. Deeply so. He was afraid of the Ottomans, and they were swept up; the Africans had made amazing ground against them.<br/><br/>But shouldn't that validate them? To some terrified degree it didn't. The Ottomans were of a dying breed, suffering from necrosis on the inside. Their body stretched far too thin over far too many peoples. They made too many enemies at home to ever expect to be as effective as Suleiman had hoped. So it was no surprise that for all the glitz and glamour and might the ancient Empire had postured itself as having that it was all a facade that too quickly burned. Though primitive, the Empire of the Ethiopia had its youth and its energy behind it.<br/><br/>Spain was rightly similar, in a sense. Though a character on the world stage for centuries it was the newest in the old powers to reclaim the title as a major world player. It had youth, but it also had experience. It could effectively mobilize its resources. Bureaucratically manage its hate. Where on the other hand Ethiopia was but a young teenager, fighting out with its strength but with no practice. It had flailed the Turks to death with its fists, but Spain would just wear it out. He didn't believe in the theories the Spaniards would just be drowned in the Ethiopian highlands. They'd work around. And then he – and more importantly: China – would be out of a playing card.<br/><br/>Cao might be a coward, but he wasn't a moron. He knew how important Ethiopia was in the long-run for China. It was an ally close to Europe, a check against their conservatism. If under more active foreign policies they would have turned it over to a barrier against European ambition, but Hou and the Congress failed to realize this. Cao had learned this during his time here.<br/><br/>His face turned up as he heard the door open. Stepping out onto the porch was Sen Zhou. She was shorter than most, but by no means a weak woman. Years younger than he, but acted many years more older. In a surreal way when not acting as a right-hand, she was a drill sergeant of sorts. The straight face of Cao. Where he showed cowardice, she showed bravery. He apprehension, she energetic bravado and an almost cruel necessity. He had not fought, she had fought hard. Her record was well worth the position.<br/><br/>On this afternoon though, she wore no face. She looked down at the commander. Her round feminine face not framed by the long hair of her contemporaries. She wore her feminine self almost the same way as men theirs. Her uniform open to the white top underneath. Firm breasts held up in her bra.<br/><br/>“I'm not going to like it, am I?” Cao asked, dropping his gaze to the ocean view.<br/><br/>“You're not.” his lieutenant replied, “May I have a seat?” she asked.<br/><br/>“Go ahead.” he invited, waving his hand. She bowed modestly. Pulling over a chair and sitting at the small wooden table kept there.<br/><br/>“Beijing's not withdrawing us.” she said plainly, breaking the silence before it could begin, “And they don't even want us on the island. As soon as the situation demands of us we're relocating to Addis to assist in securing the capital. The remnants of the 2nd Beijing Flight squadron are coming down as we speak, they'll arrive here, and presumably we'll redeploy from there.<br/><br/>“Chake Bay will most likely be turned over to the local Pemba garrison in our absence. They didn't say for how long that'll be.”<br/><br/>“We're going for the long run then.” Deizhi Cao wavered, “Do the men know?”<br/><br/>“They're no doubt aware of something.” Zhou laughed, “You can't hide the Spanish have invading, and even the shallow minded ones know we'll be forced to respond. Addis or Beijing won't bide us being here forever as something goes on. We'll either be withdrawn to save ourselves, or thrown in to protect their lovey-dovey relationship. Or its face.<br/><br/>“Cao, I do think you're going to have to take your first life soon.”<br/><br/>Dezhi had no response. He continued to look down at the birds of the beach, with a blank distant expression. Perhaps it was by not being a part of combat that for so long he'd remained youthful. But in the mornings since the news broke he started to notice the fine lines of stress ringing his eyes. And his round face became more haggard.<br/><br/>“What was it like for you?” he asked suddenly.<br/><br/>“Was what like?” Zhou asked, “Service? Sex? Killing? You know we're not at liberty to discuss one of the three.”<br/><br/>Cao cracked a strained smile. His voice stressed tight he replied: “Killing. What was your first kill like? Real kill.”<br/><br/>Zhou nodded. “I can't remember.” she said, biting her lip, “I mangled many in Mindanao during the war there. But to be honest, it was my knife to their balls or their hatchet or club to my face. Philippines – or Mindanao to a greater extent – has sort of blurred that sort of thing for me. I can't remember how I felt the first time I really shot someone, and I knew.<br/><br/>“But it was on Taiwan...” she started hesitantly, her voice shuddering, “Some young Japanese kid. I still wore my hair long then, or longer as far as regulation goes. But no one knew how to handle mixed combat brigades then, so there was no formality. But I can remember the look on his face before I shot him in the chest, had just pushed out over a blockade south of Taipei. Shit thought I was from some magazine or something, paused almost and face went red; like I was the first woman he saw in years.<br/><br/>“Then he was dead. I had to move on after, so I couldn't be sure who – or what – he was. I was under the command of Shaoqiang Wuzong then, and I happened to watch him have the Japanese administration and command in the city executed as soon as he found them. Some of which personally, himself. All I remember was feeling so damned cold, and complaining about how humid the air was. A storm I think was coming in that day.<br/><br/>“If you want some reconciliation, I really can not give it to you.” she frowned, adding.<br/><br/>“Right...” Cao mumbled.<br/><br/>“But listen,” she said, leaning back comfortably into the wicker chair, “either way you got to stop being such a fucking bitch. We'll get through this the same way as we did the Ottomans, and they basically had us locked down in that Arab shit hole.”<br/><br/><b>30,000 meters</b><br/><br/>The muffled hum of the jet engines pierced through the hull of the aircraft. Digging through the light-weight metal hull to become a constant tidal moan. Even under neath headphones the mechanical static of the engine noise was an intrusive constant. As much as the cold was, even through a thick full-body flight jump suit and face protection.<br/><br/>The fleight instruments hung somewhere in the green as they flew along. All sorts of baubles indicating air pressure and fuel read well. And even their angle to the horizon was respectable. But all this was an issue to the constant at which they flew. Straight ahead with no deviation. And the dark, open sky ahead displayed in the same lighted brilliance the pure emptiness of being above the clouds. The pilots had long lost their feelings for the nauseating vertigo of peering upwards and outwards to the blending bands of blue into black.<br/><br/>“Location confirmation?” a voice said over the radios, infused with crackling static.<br/><br/>“We passed over the Rub al' Khali fifteen minutes ago, I think.” another responded in the same manner, “I think the Red Sea is coming up below us.”<br/><br/>“Copy that.” replied the navigator. After a brief pause he spoke up again: “Comrades, we're entering into hot airspace.”<br/><br/>“Copy that.” the pilot said into the radio, “Get ready comrades, we don't know what will happen from here.”<br/><br/>He sat up from his seat, trying to peer out over the long pointed nose of the aircraft. A sort of morbid curiosity playing on him. But he could find nothing but the long gray nose of the GHH. He sat back down to a light tapping on his shoulder, from his co pilot.<br/><br/>He looked over to him. His face mask unfastened from his helmet, it hung to the side, held gently in one hand as he held it close to his mouth. Just enough for fresh warm air to come out. But not so much it'd come into interference with the radio. Clean comms. He mouth to his superior to do likewise, miming to move aside one speaker of his headphone.<br/><br/>“What is it!?” the pilot shouted. His ears filled with the loud roar of cold air sweeping over the body of the airplane, and the roar of its engines.<br/><br/>“I don't want to scare the others,” the copilot started, looking back to the navigator's station behind him, “But I want to ask, what happens if the Spanish find us out?”<br/><br/>This question struck the pilot back. Personally, he had thought very little of it. Through preparation he had fought to drown out the idea they'd even know, let alone respond. They just flew too high. But like a snake the hidden fears the Spanish could respond came back.<br/><br/>“We're outfitted if something happens.” the pilot responded.<br/><br/>“With what!?” the copilot said, shocked, “A glass dome modified for taking pictures out of? Do you expect our turret operator to photograph Spanish interceptors to death?<br/><br/>“I'm just wondering, you know. Because this isn't the fastest bird to fly. That's for sure.”<br/><br/>“We're thirty-thousand meters up!” the pilot reminded, “I- I'm sure we're fine. Most normal engines fail well before here. Inteligence says the Spanish probably do not have the means!”<br/><br/>“Yea, but what if they're wrong?” the copilot asked, face pale, “What if they can? We can't survive the fall. No one knows how the body even reacts if it falls from this high. S-shit, the sea could kill us the moment we make contact.<br/><br/>“Melons explode when they hit concrete. What do people do? Will we even exist.”<br/><br/>The pilot breathed heavily. He couldn't let the topic bug him. He needed to stay focused. “We'll see how this flight goes!” he ordered, “Put your mask back on, we'll talk about it when we land.”"
22070,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-12-06 16:09:00,Byrd Man,"<b>Natchez, Mississippi</b><br/><br/>James Calhoun stood in front of the full-length mirror in his bedroom. He wore one of his best suits without a single hair or thread out of place. The suit was a muted brown and had a matching bowtie that complimented his dark brown skin. He had better suits he wore to church, but those were more colorful. Those suits could be seen as gaudy, to the people he would speak to they would see it as proof that he was “uppity.”For today’s task James needed to appear humble to the point of subservient. He was forty-two, born and raised in Mississippi. He knew how to act in front of white people.<br/><br/>“You’re a glutton for punishment, aren’t you?”<br/><br/>James turned from the mirror to look at Whitney. His wife of twenty years stared at him with a look that most people would mistake as impassivity. He could read the sadness and disappointment behind her aloof front.<br/><br/>“Baby, I gotta do it. I don’t care how many times they turn me away; they have to see that it won’t be enough.”<br/><br/>Whitney stepped forward and placed her hands on his chest. They were rough hands, hands that had scrubbed other people’s floors for over twenty years, hands that had changed the diapers of dozens of little white children over the years while her own three children were at home missing her. James placed his own callused hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. She was still that beautiful woman he had married after college just with a little more lines in her face. For his part, he was tubbier and much grayer than he had been back then.<br/><br/>She kissed him and wished him luck before he left the house and walked across the yard to his pickup truck. James looked out across the field to where his two sons were busy with their afternoon chores amidst the cotton plants that were slowly beginning to flower. Just a few more weeks before the snowy white cotton would break free of the buds. David, his youngest son, waved when he saw his father staring.<br/><br/>“Good luck!” he yelled across the field. “They say the sixth time’s the charm!”<br/><br/>James laughed before getting into his truck and leaving. A few miles down the road he pulled over and picked up a waiting hitchhiker. Will Johnson climbed into the truck dressed in an equally respectable suit. The two men exchanged pleasantries while James drove a few more miles and picked up a middle-aged black woman in a plumb dress.<br/><br/>“Mrs. Tillman,” James said with a nod as Will scooted over to let the old lady into the cab. “How are you this afternoon?”<br/><br/>“I’m very good, I prayed beforehand that we would be successful today. I believe He has heard me and will grant us victory today. God is good all the time.”<br/><br/>James and Will shared knowing looks. The two men were weekly church-goers at the local AME church, but nobody else they attended with was quite like Mrs. Tillman. The old widow would occasionally speak in tongues, something that had scared James’ children when they were little. They drove from the country into Natchez proper, a drive that took less than ten minutes. There was barely any traffic in the sleepy little town that afternoon. There was few and far between that worked in town, most of the jobs in the factories were outside of town or across the river in Louisiana. The parking lot beside the Adams County Courthouse was half full, but nearly all the Colored Only marked lots were full. James managed to pull his truck into one of the last free ones for them. From there they went up the backed entrance to the courthouse, up rickety steps that had to be climbed slowly due to Mrs. Tillman’s bad back. Finally they made their way to the registrar’s office.<br/><br/>Mack Taylor scowled when he saw the three black people enter his office. He sighed and rolled his eyes as James and the others approached the counter.<br/><br/>“Back again?” he asked harshly.<br/><br/>“Yes, sir,” James replied with a polite nod.<br/><br/>“Y’all may not have much brains, but you make up for it with stubbornness.”<br/><br/>James felt Will tighten up beside him. James just smiled and nodded again.<br/><br/>“Yes, sir, we figured wouldn’t hurt to try to get registered to vote just one more time.”<br/><br/>Taylor wordlessly took three large stacks of forms from behind the counter and laid them on the surface. There was one stack for James, one for Will, and one for Mrs. Tillman.<br/><br/>“Fill these out. In triplicate, that means three times.”<br/><br/>Mrs. Tillman snapped open her large, plumb colored handbag, and passed the two men pencils. They knew from past experience that Taylor wouldn’t provide them with pencils and neither would any of the county employees at the courthouse. They spent nearly a half-hour filling out all their personal information, despite the fact they had filled the same forms out every time they went to register.<br/><br/>“Now time for the literacy test,” Taylor said, laying three tests on the counter. He looked at the clock on the wall to his right, waiting until the little hand passed the twelve. “You have ten minutes to complete the sixteen question test. Failure to complete it in that time will result in failure. One wrong answer will constitute failure. Begin… now.”<br/>James looked down at the test in front of him. It was different than the last test he’d taken, they were scared of them remembering the questions between tests, but he knew the general nature of most of the questions:<br/><br/>1.	Draw a circle around the first first letter of the alphabet that appears in this line.<br/>2.	Draw a line around the last word in this line.<br/>3.	Spell backwards, forwards<br/>….<br/>10. Write right from the left to the right as you see it spelled here.<br/>…<br/>15. Multiply: 2x(2x-12)<br/>16. Multiply: (7x+3)(2x+6)<br/><br/>James finished the test and looked up at the clock. He had just a minute to spare. Will and Mrs. Tillman still had a few more questions to go. It was easier for James than the other two since he had managed to get a fair education at Alcorn State. Will had never finished school, and he wasn’t sure if Mrs. Tillman had even gone to school. He’d been tutoring them for the weeks leading up to the test, but James was seeing that it hadn’t been enough.<br/><br/>“Time,” Taylor announced the moment the little hand finished its tenth lap. Will blew and shook his head at James. His test was two answers shy of being complete. Mrs. Tillman had finished, but James could see at least two wrong answers on her sheet.<br/><br/>“Fail,” Taylor said when he saw Will’s incomplete test.<br/><br/>“Fail,” he said after scanning Mrs. Tillman’s test.<br/><br/>He picked up James’ test and started to look over it. James saw Taylor’s eyes darting down to something behind the desk every so often before looking back up at the test. From the way Taylor’s eyes moved, James figured he went through it two or three times before looking at him.<br/><br/>“Fail. Y’all come back again.”<br/><br/>“Wait, how’d I fail?”<br/><br/>“You just did. Y’all come back in a month or two to take it again.”<br/><br/>“Tell me which one I failed,” James said. He could feel his agitation starting to bubble up. “I mean, specifically.”<br/><br/>“Alright…. Number… 16. The last one here, see?”<br/><br/>“Yes,” James said polite enough. “My answer is right, or at least I think it is. I used the FOIL method, Mr. Taylor. That’s what I’m supposed to do there, right? What’s the answer?”<br/><br/>Taylor looked at James like he had just insulted his mother.<br/><br/>“Your answer is wrong. End of story. Now, y’all need to leave right now.”<br/><br/>“Can you tell me the answer, Mr. Taylor?” James asked, again not raising his voice. “Or is that answer key you got behind that desk saying that my answer is right?”<br/><br/>“Can you do the FOIL method, Mr. Taylor?” Will asked this time, keeping his anger in check. “Do you know what algebra even is, sir?”<br/><br/>“Leave,” Taylor said softly. “Leave right now,<i>boy</i>, or I will call the sheriff’s office and we’ll see how much of a smart-ass you are when you’re spitting out teeth.”<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>“Bullshit,” Will roared once they were back in the pick-up truck.<br/><br/>“Language,” James said, looking at Mrs. Tillman.<br/><br/>“It is bullshit,” said the elderly lady. “Fucking bullshit is what it was. You’re the smartest man I know, James, and you’re sure as hell smarter than any of those white men that run the county, and they still won’t let you vote. Lord forgive me, but it is a damn tragedy is what it is.”<br/><br/>James stayed silent while Will and Mrs. Tillman complained about their treatment at the registrar’s office. He focused on the road and thought about what he would say to Whitney and the boys, let alone look his youngest daughter Sarah in the eye. Sarah was taking classes at Alcorn State like he had, she spent many nights at his dinner table talking about social justice for negroes in the South. The boys and Whitney had let her be, but the way she spoke had motivated James into finally trying to register. To keep trying and keep failing… it just… there were no words.<br/><br/>He headed home after dropping Will and Mrs. Tillman off. His pickup was loud enough going down the driveway that the whole family was there to meet him. He got out of the truck and shook his head as he walked up on the porch.<br/><br/>“Daddy,” Sarah said softly. “I’m so sorry.”<br/><br/>She hugged him and he felt like he was going to cry.<br/><br/>“Don’t be sorry. Be mad, baby. I got everything right and they still wouldn’t register me.”<br/><br/>“Really?”<br/><br/>“Yes. They threw every trick they had at me and I beat them fair and square and they still told me to go home.”<br/><br/>Sarah bit her bottom lip and stared at her feet. James knew that look well because both his daughter and wife made the same look when they thought of something and was unsure to say it.<br/><br/>“What?”<br/><br/>“A couple of my friends from school… we’re going to Jackson tomorrow night to see this man speak. He’s been traveling around the South, they call him the Ethiopian. He’s been talking about Negro rights. I want you to come and tell all the people there what’s happening here.”<br/><br/>James found himself at a loss for words. He didn’t want to get up and speak in front of a bunch of folks. That wasn’t him, he wasn’t an agitator. He’d been keeping to himself for years, this foray into voting was not him… but he looked down at his daughter and he realized why he was doing it. He was doing it for her, for Matt, for David.<br/><br/>“Sure. I’ll go with you and I’ll speak.”<br/><br/><b>Vancouver</b><br/><br/>“Welcome to the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty.”<br/><br/>Arthur looked around the small room. The dimly lit basement had a half dozen folding chairs in it, only half of those had people in it. There was Alex, a large man with a scraggly beard, and a petite redhead who kept a permanent playful smirk on her face. From upstairs, the distant thump of music reminded Arthur of the party going on upstairs. He had been there just a few minutes earlier, standing awkwardly in a corner until Alex found him.<br/><br/>“What’s…”<br/><br/>“We’re a political action group,” Alex said with a wink. “Joanna, Chris, and I were all in the same political science class and we just sort of came together, had the same views on a lot of things.”<br/><br/>“And the name of the group? What’s that mean?”<br/><br/>“What do you think it means?” grumbled Chris. “We want to see the NWC back as its own country.”<br/><br/>“A few bad apples spoiled the bunch,” said Joanna. “Seattle was a tragedy, but it was also an excuse to further American imperialism. Our politicians and military erred by getting into the war but that does not mean we deserve to be forced into the United States.”<br/><br/>Alex stood up and walked around the basement while he spoke. Arthur found he could not keep his eyes off him as he spoke.<br/><br/>“We’ve tried to hold protest and boycotts on campus and around Vancouver, but nobody shows up and nobody cares. All they remember is the war and the collapse after the war. They don’t remember the good times, the strong times. They all prostrate themselves before the US in the name of getting government food and used television sets. ”<br/><br/>Arthur felt his excitement growing as Alex spoke. For years now, he had felt the same way about the whole mess with the war and annexation, but he was too afraid to even breathe a word to anyone he knew. Now here he was, with people who felt the same way he did. They were young and passionate and sympathetic.<br/><br/>“The time for us trying to do this our old way has passed,” Alex continued. “We need to get more dramatic.”<br/><br/>“How?” Arthur asked. “In what way?”<br/><br/>“Alex told us you’re an engineering student,” Joanna said. She leaned forward in her seat and brushed her long, red hair from her face. Arthur looked into her green eyes and felt a twinge somewhere. “We like you, Arthur… I like you. We want you to be part of our group… but we need help with something. We need you to build something.”"

Two bodies lay crumpled in the open, one in Spanish uniform, the other in the now familiar garb of Ethiopia.<br/><br/>The fighting had stalled here. An initial rush to take the square had been halted by, and Delgado still wasn’t sure if he’d seen right, a woman. She had dropped two of his soldiers before a bullet dropped her and she was pulled to safety by another soldier. The surprise of the attack had quickly worn off and while the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>had successfully driven the Ethiopians back from the Canal, they were now having to fight house by house, street by street.<br/><br/>His breathing had slowed now though his left eye still twitched uncontrollably for some reason and he tried blinking hard to clear it with no luck. A quick check of his weapon ensured he still had a full clip in his weapon. Slowly, ever so slowly, he looked around the corner of the wall. Darkness had blanketed the land and the only light came from the remains of several burning buildings and trucks. He looked for movement.<br/><br/>For a moment nothing showed itself but then he saw something shift, a shadow deeper and darker than the shadow around it. He almost stopped breathing as he stared at the spot. The shadow moved again.<br/><br/>In one fluid motion he rolled onto his left knee, sighted and fired. A man screamed and the shadow vanished. Then the whole world lit up as a wall of steel appeared to his left. The<i>Aksum</i>, making its run for the sea. It seemed as though every mortar or small arm the Ethiopians possessed now opened fire on the big ship, completely careless if it gave away their position or not. It was an all or nothing moment and he everyone knew it.<br/><br/>Delgado leapt up, screaming to be heard over the din, and waving his men forward. Shadows all along the streets and in windows came alive as gunfire drowned out all other noise.<br/><br/>He was running, halting only to fire quick bursts into small groups of Ethiopian or Arab soldiers. Twice he came across mortar teams that had abandoned their positions to try and fire directly on<i>Aksum</i>as it raced past. In each case he shot the man loading and then killed the others as they reached for their personal weapons. In one case he fired just as the man dropped the round into the mortar and it fell sideways with him, the shell slamming into a nearby building and bringing it crashing down into the street.<br/><br/>Something buzzed past his ear and he spun with it, catching sight of a kneeling Ethiopian soldier who grimaced as he missed, worked the action of the rifle he was holding and took aim again. Where he had got the rifle from, Delgado would never know, maybe a dead Arab, it didn’t matter. He brought up his own weapon and sprayed a line of bullets towards the other man. Two hit him, one in the foot, the second in his arm and he was down.<br/><br/>The Ethiopians bullet also hit its target, slamming so hard into Delgados helmet that he dropped to the pavement, stunned. The shot probably saved his life as a group of Ethiopians burst from a nearby alley to counter attack, running past him in the darkness.<br/><br/>He opened his mouth to cry out when the world shook, a shockwave from huge explosion, driving the air from his lungs as it slammed through the city. For a moment there was silence, almost as if the explosion had reminded everyone of just how bad things could get.<br/><br/>Then a machine gun fired, a flare arced into the sky, and the Ethiopians were retreating. They had failed to block the Suez Canal and now, their shouts loud in the night, Spanish reinforcements stormed into the City.<br/><br/>The Ethiopians went back, the Spanish went forward, and Delgado, still breathless on the ground found that he could not see. He was blind.<br/><br/><b>Buenos Aires, Argentina</b><br/><br/>A world away from the blood and screams of Port Said the Republic of Argentina was bathed in the warm glow of late afternoon sunshine. As was typical with this time of year, it was hot, brutally hot so that tourists sweated away in their air conditioned hotels and locals made their way to small underground bars where the suns heat was negated by the cool stone walls.<br/><br/>Despite the heat the streets of Buenos Aires still buzzed with the sound of traffic. For many it had been another perfect day in the Republic. Few indeed had seen better days. The economy was stable and rising so for the first time in many generations everyone had a bit of spending money. It was a new feeling for many, especially those from the countryside who arrived in the city with eyes wide in wonder, more than a few would get hit by racing city drivers, but that was the price of progress.<br/><br/>In the countryside, further from the coast, men sweated under the sun as they laid out long lines of rail track and smoothed asphalt for new highways. New industries sprang up in regions that had only ever known poverty and for the Delgado family the new wealth of an emerging middle class had been a boon.<br/><br/>For a hundred years they had worked a small vineyard near the foot Aconcagua, the tallest of all mountains in the Western hemisphere. As the economy grew and the wealthy elite had looked for the finer things in life they had found the small vineyard and discovered in it and excellent red wine. One man even bought the vineyards entire supply for a year. That money alone had allowed the Delgados to expand their operations and now, as their son fought and killed in a foreign land, they had taken ownership of the largest vineyards in Mendoza Province.<br/><br/>Their story was not unusual in this new age of prosperity. People flush with money they had not had before were spending more on luxury goods from around South America and seeing themselves in a new century, Argentina’s Century they called it.<br/><br/>News of the war in Africa had of course been long in coming and local newsmen had jumped at the chance to report on the<i>Brigada Internacional</i>and the young farm boy who had led the beach attack on Port Said. Details were slow in coming and sketchy at best but it did not matter, the imagination of a nation was being captured by this young man who had no idea what effect his actions would have on the course of Argentine history.<br/><br/>The reports had also caught the attention of men in uniform, men of high rank who had been watching the conflict with great interest. All knew that Argentina had a burning national pride but only those in power knew truly how far they would go to achieve greatness.<br/><br/>It was on that hot afternoon, his face to the setting sun, that the President-General wrote several idle musings on the corner of his napkin as he enjoyed a cold beer.<i>Condor Legion</i>. For now it was but words a dream, in the months to come it would become a reality and it would lay the groundwork for Argentina’s rise on the world stage."
22072,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-12-11 20:39:00,Byrd Man,"<b>Washington, DC</b><br/><br/>Secretary of State Lillian Mather read the latest diplomatic dispatches while her limo sped down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the White House. The Asian and Middle Eastern messages were the most important; they encompassed updates on the wars raging in those respective theaters. The US diplomatic and intelligence presence abroad wasn’t much, but her people did their job well and kept her constantly updated on the ever-shifting geopolitical landscape.<br/><br/>She wanted the State Department running at its best because she wanted to prove her detractors wrong. Lillian was the first female cabinet secretary and that drew a lot of ire from the beltway insiders. People were all for a woman running the Department of the Interior or Education, low-level posts that didn’t require much responsibility, but to have a woman as Secretary of State, the nation’s chief diplomat? That was unthinkable. What if some fit of womanly emotion overcame her during an important summit meeting? She could make the country look weak or worse start a war because she didn’t have the intelligence of composure of a man. In her best diplomatic language, Lillian thought those people could go fuck themselves.<br/><br/>This year marked her twentieth year in the diplomatic field. From political science professor, to State Department policy wonk, to diplomat, she had done just about every type of job State had to offer. Before getting tabbed to be Secretary of State her crowning moment had been the negotiations of the peace treaty with Canada that ended the second North American War. If anybody looked at their record and still had reservations about a woman running State then they were a misogynist of the highest order.<br/>Lillian tucked the documents under her arm and exited the limo once it came to a stop. She followed behind a White House staffer and a Secret Service agent, her own bodyguard matching her gait stride for stride.<br/><br/>“Madam Secretary,” Vice President Russell Reed said as soon as Lillian entered the Oval Office. “Have a seat; he’ll be here in just a minute.”<br/>Reed smiled as he stood from the couch facing the president’s desk. They shook hands quickly before sitting back down. Lillian took a seat beside him. The vice president stretched out and smiled at her.<br/><br/>“We haven’t spoken since your confirmation hearing, so I owe you belated congratulations.”<br/><br/>“I’m just glad you weren’t chairing the committee still. I have no doubt you would have put me through the paces.”<br/><br/>They shared a polite laugh. The two Washington insiders knew each other very well in a professional sense. In all Lillian’s years working in foreign relations Reed had been there right alongside her, first in the House and then in the Senate. He was perhaps the only person in the administration who knew as much about foreign affairs as she did. Both long-time serving Washingtonians joining the neophyte President Norman’s cabinet was seen as a boon for the general. The thing Lillian still couldn’t wrap her head around was the vice president’s decision to leave the Senate to be Norman’s running mate. The tongue wagging inside the Beltway was furious. The obvious answer was that the vice presidency was to be a launching pad for a White House run in eighty-eight. But could Reed afford four years in the president’s shadow, eight if Norman was reelected. He had a stellar record as Senate Majority Leader… but by the time he ran that would be old news. The only way he could avoid fading into obscurity was doing what he appeared to be doing now and act as a close and prominent adviser to the president, but that lasted as long as Norman allowed it. One slip and he could be forced into the cold. Whatever game Reed was playing, Lillian was certain it was a risky one with a razor-thin margin of error.<br/><br/>“Congratulations to you as well, Mr. Vice President. I saw where the bill to nationalize NEWI went through the House without a hitch. Your protégée seems to be picking up where you left off when it comes to running the House.”<br/><br/>“Clay doesn’t mess around when it comes to legislation, especially White House backed legislation. The House was the easy part, now comes the Senate. Getting those mules to pass anything is a tall order.”<br/><br/>“But I know who can get it done,” a voice said from the doorway. President Norman entered with a smirk on his face. “If there’s anyone who knows all the senator’s dirty little secrets, it’s the vice president.”<br/><br/>“I only know where some of the bodies are buried, Mr. President,” Reed said as he and Lillian stood.<br/><br/>“Just the ones you buried yourself, right?” Norman asked with a chuckle.<br/><br/>“I’ll never tell, sir.”<br/><br/>The President shook Lillian’s hand and urged both her and Reed to take a seat while he read the diplomatic dispatches she had couriered over. They remained silent while Norman read the papers with a pair of reading glasses on his face.<br/><br/>“The fighting in the Suez is worse than I imagined,” he finally said, putting the papers down and removing his reading glasses. “CIA is reporting the same things all across Africa. It brings up a reason why I wanted this meeting. You speak French don’t you, Madam Secretary?”<br/><br/>“Oui.”<br/><br/>“Détente,” said Reed. “What’s that French for?”<br/><br/>“Relaxation. What does it mean besides that?”<br/><br/>“I want détente to be this administration’s foreign affairs policy,” said the President. “The world is still not happy about the annexation of the NWC. We need to move past that and get back on good terms with the powers. Where would you start, Madam Secretary?”<br/><br/>“China. They’re the largest superpower right now, and with Spain and Ethiopia at each other’s throats they’re the only ones we can strengthen ties with and not get dragged into a war.”<br/><br/>“They’re at war, too,” Reed said in a lazy tone. “Let’s not forget that.”<br/><br/>“It’s not a war that we need to concern ourselves with,” Lillian said matter-of-factly. “They don’t need our help.”<br/><br/>President Norman stood from his chair and walked to the front of his desk, leaning against it to talk to his two advisers. “Lillian, what I want to do is reach out to China and appeal to their pragmatism.”<br/><br/>Reed ticked points off with his fingers. “We’re two of the largest land powers in the world; they’re the biggest economical power in Asia while our annexations of the NWC and the NER have turned us into the top economic power in the hemisphere. True, we have distanced ourselves from socialism, but we need to move past ideologies and look at the fact that a US-China partnership benefits both sides immensely.”<br/><br/>“I think it’s easier for us to call for pragmatic thinking when we’re the weaker party. China can afford to stay on the ideological high ground because we need their support if we want to step up on the world stage. But I think those ideas are at least good enough to get some kind of dialogue going with them. How do you want to handle this, Mr. President?”<br/><br/>“Strictly backchannel for the moment,” Norman said. “Quietly get in touch with Ambassador Dorn in Beijing, see if he can get the Chinese to at least agree to a meeting with an envoy from the administration.”<br/><br/>Lillian slowly nodded before she finally spoke.<br/><br/>“Okay. It’s a start. I’ll see what I can do.”<br/><br/><b>Jackson, Mississippi</b><br/><br/>The First AME Church of Jackson had standing room only that night. James Calhoun stood near the back of the church with his daughter Sarah and a group of her friends. They made the drive up from Natchez in James’ truck, four people wedged into the cab while three others rode on the back. He was twenty years older than everyone on the trip, and as such felt like the group’s designated grownup. Even now in the church, he was one of the older people here. Many of them were kids not much older than Sarah and his sons, but there were a few who appeared to be in high school.<br/><br/>A still overcame the crowd and James could see movement down the center aisle. He stood on his tiptoes and saw a lone figure moving among the people heading towards the pulpit. A young black man who appeared to be in his mid-twenties stood behind the podium and gazed out at the crowd with a calm demeanor on his face. He wore an immaculate black suit, a crisp white shirt, and a black tie. He was what people around here would call light-skinned with a dotting of freckles around his eyes.<br/><br/>“My name is Isaiah Wolde,” he spoke in a rich baritone voice that carried through the church. “I am an Ethiopian. I was an American, born in South Carolina with the name Jason McCray. I left this country as part of the Ethiopian Airlift. I have spent almost ten years in Africa, I changed my name and I converted to Islam.”<br/><br/>A bristle went up in the crowd at the mention of Islam. Wolde let it pass before continuing.<br/><br/>“I rejected this country and its way of life because I saw the truth overseas. I lived in an Empire, not a nation or a country, but an Empire created by Africans for Africans. I was no second-class citizen there, there were no ‘whites only’ or ‘colored only’ signs in the city I called home, there was no one to call Negroes ‘uppity’ for wishing to better themselves. Ethiopia frightens the people of the South, they see an empire ran by non-whites and they run for cover. I have received Allah’s blessing, and He has called me back home, to this country of my birth with a specific mission. It has been almost one hundred and forty years since the slave was freed here in the United States, but still the Negro struggles for freedom, struggles for basic things that should have been given to him years ago. I am here to tell you that the time for asking is over, it is now the time for demanding. The time for politeness is over. They keep us down because they are afraid of us… well, perhaps we should give them something to really be afraid of.”<br/>Wolde took a moment to take a sip from the glass of water on the podium while the crowd applauded.<br/><br/>“I am told we have a James Calhoun in the crowd who had a recent problem. Mister Calhoun, could you please come forward.”<br/>James looked at Sarah with wide eyes while she beamed. With the help of her friends, she pushed James forward into the crowd and got him walking towards the pulpit. His feet felt like lead as he climbed up beside Wolde, his hand was limp as they shook hands.<br/><br/>“Please, Mister Calhoun, share your story to the people here.”<br/><br/>“My…, my name is James—“<br/><br/>“Louder!” someone shouted. “Can’t hear you in the back!”<br/><br/>“My name is James Calhoun,” he said again. “I… I am a farmer from Natchez. For… for the past three months, me and two of my neighbors have been trying to register to vote…”<br/><br/>He relayed his stories to the group, from being denied pencils to fill out their forms, to the complicated and confusing questions on the literacy test, to the day before when James had passed the test but was still denied his right by a white man who couldn’t even pass the test. The more he spoke, the more comfortable he felt. The crowd helped to egg him on by reacting to his story with indignation towards the white people of Adams County and sympathy towards James and his friends. When he finished, he looked towards Wolde who smiled and nodded before stepping back up to take James’ place at the podium.<br/><br/>“Thank you for sharing your story. Mister Calhoun’s story is one of many Negroes across the country. Here in the South it is the worst, but every day the Negro faces an uphill battle. The President talks big about an American Dream and an American Century, but whose dream and century is he talking about? Not our dream, not our century. The Negro American Dream is apparently to sit down, shut up, and know your place; The Negro American Century will be us quietly standing to the side and smiling while the white folks make the decisions. We must show them that we have been pushed to our breaking point. This is why I am calling for a general boycott and protests in Adams County, Mississippi. The place that has seen fit to rob our Negro brothers of their dignity and right to vote will be the first battle in the war of civil rights, the final emancipation of the slave.”<br/><br/>The crowd broke out into a fit of cheers, applause, and wolf whistles while Wolde calmly nodded. Off to his side, James watched the crowd uneasily. These people could talk about coming to Natchez and starting protests and boycotts and a war… but none of them lived there. A sense of dread settled into his stomach as he watched Wolde fire the crowd up even further."

A cavalry saber hung in its scabbard, resting on the side of his horse so that he felt its pommel pressing against his belly. A mounted aide was at his side, lazily holding a staff displaying a forked banner in the Ethiopian colors: green, yellow, and red. He had always respected the aspects of military life that established discipline and stern professionalism in soldiers. He liked the aesthetic of the thing too - the kempt uniforms, the sight of a unit on the march, people identified by unit number. It was an organizing force, and that organization kept him at ease.<br/><br/>He could not help to feel out of place here, as he watched villagers dressed in homespun white loiter along the road, watching, praying, and shouting. Several of the men labored to help his soldiers push an aging howitzer out of a rut. They had brought draft horses to pull the weapon, but they had become a hindrance here. Women and children fed the unlimbered horses. Some admired the howitzer, rubbing their fingers to feel the rough brown-green paint, and the cold steel beneath. A couple of the women slid leather-strung kitabs and crosses over the barrel - symbols of their superstitions, and their fear. Seeing their religious trinkets reminded how different he, a Muslim Somali, was from these people.<br/><br/>Rais was unsure about their plans here. The highlands held most of old Abyssinia's population, but the most potent industrial city was Addis Ababa. To the south-east, the deserts of the Afar Depression posed and obstacle for invaders, where dry flatlands stretched for miles and temperatures rarely dropped below 100 °F. Historically, this had created a barrier against invaders, but the modern stretch of paved roads had changed that.<br/><br/>Damn the roads.<br/><br/>It hadn't taken him long to understand that their modernized system of roads gave the Spanish an advantage. They were more mechanized, and undoubtedly more prepared for the modern styles of warfare that took cities and solid transportation networks to a level of paramount importance rarely seen in African tradition. Hassan had recognized this, and he had ordered their defenses concentrated in the highlands.<br/><br/>There were advantages to fighting in the mountains, Rais could not argue that. Here, where most of the people lived, Spain would have a hard time finding support. Guerrilla warfare could be waged here with the help of the locals. Also, the road-network which kept the major industrial cities connected efficiently to coastal ports was less effective in the mountains. Here, pave roads wound and took sharp turns. Many roads were dirt, like the one he was on now. Others were cow-paths, where only off-road vehicles could travel.<br/><br/>But he worried whether or not the military could supply itself if the capital fell. Without the industry of the cities, or the steady supply of overseas trade, how would they arm themselves? Guns needed ammo, and that was something that simple villagers or tribesmen couldn't supply. They had succeeded before, in some ways, when they fought the Germans in the Civil War six years ago, but that was a different enemy, and a very different war. The Spaniards would control both fronts, and they were more prepared to do so.<br/><br/>His soldiers continued to trudge up hill, slowly, and carrying on their backs more than just their personnel kit. They carried equipment to prepare their defenses - tents, coils of wire and rope, boxes, metal panels, electrical equipment, and artillery shells. Their march had taken them across the rough terrain for miles in the dry highland heat, and they were tired. Rais watched them drag past, one by one, paying little attention to the gun stuck in the road. For Rais, it bothered him to see this sort of disarray. There was not enough regulation. They marched casually, only worried with their load and their sore feet beneath them. Men did not always wear the same uniform, and they rarely kept their uniforms completely on. Men marched with beards, or mustaches, or bushy hair. They slouched, and looked at their surroundings with contempt instead of diligence. Even their weapons were hardly ever the same, requiring their units to carry middling numbers of several types of ammo rather than plenty of one or two types. He knew they would use some of it to hunt - a waste they could not afford, and one he would have a hard time curtailing.<br/><br/>Some of these problems he would work on in the field. Uniformity would not be a realistic goal, but discipline would have to be. Both should have been enforced before, but their government was a poor one. Money had been spent on quantity, not quality. Rais despaired the unignorable reality that their Spanish foes would be better than them. They had the equipment, and the training. It would be up to the Generals to see the enemies mistakes, and to know how to exploit them.<br/><br/>There was another thing on their side. A thing that included the poor state of the highland roads.<br/><br/>From atop this ridge, he could see for miles. Thiswas Ethiopia's mountainous homeland, where most of its people lived. It was red stone-faced mountains, and thick rocky ridges. There were short, green plains dotted with brushy forests. There were meandering creeks and rivers, crossed only by small bridges and tentative fords where, when the wet season commenced, flooding would wash out most of the crossings. Across the plateaus and hillocks, hiding in every valley between every mountain, were thousands of small villages, and they would be ready to oppose any invasion of white skinned Europeans. They would be farmers, and goat herders, and priests. They would hide soldiers, and guerrillas, and under-cover Walinzi agents capable of more than simple sabotage. And this place was not unique. This war would also reach the thick jungles that hugged the Congo river, and deserts of the Sahara where rumors of Spanish atrocity across their border were already known. These places were the heart of the continent, large enough to drown most of Europe and so wild that Ethiopia held most of it only in title. This was the Fortress Africa, and it would be the greatest obstacle to the Spanish.<br/><br/>Rocks crunched and shifted. Rais watched as the howitzer pulled out of its trap. The horses regained a momentum. He listened as the villagers celebrated, hooping and smiling for a brief moment. Dangling from the howitzer's thick, steel neck, its new trinkets jingled.<br/><br/>""Ras"" he heard a familiar voice, and watched as the aide of his Quartermaster General, called out. ""Ras, Quartermaster Daud begs your audience. He says he had information you would like to know.""<br/><br/>Raid took a deep, cleansing breath. The fresh air smelled like dirt and dry plants. ""Yes. Where is Daud?""<br/><br/>""He is in the house of one of the village elders"" the aide said. ""I will take you to him, if you wish.""<br/><br/>Raid nodded, and dismounted.<br/><br/>The village was small. Most of the buildings were simple homes; round, cobbled-stone walls with thatched roofs so thorough that they looked like they had been made by bees. There were lean-to's made of sticks, and smaller huts made out of mud, but most were the same multicolored stone. Between them, there were roughly built pens for goats and cows. On the opposite end of the village was a church. Though it had the same type of thatched roof, and was built from the same sort of stone as the other buildings, its arched doorways and simple cobbled columns gave it a peculiar, roughly Roman look.<br/><br/>People buzzed around the village, fascinated by the soldiers their their commander. Children stood silent, wearing traditional wrapping clothes in white and cream and beige. Some dodged around, hiding behind their elders. Others stood in place. To a few, this was a temporary distraction, and they continued playing as if nothing were any different in their lives.<br/><br/>The Elder's enclosure was larger than most. His house was surrounded by a stick fence, where a goat grazed in the presence of several clucking chickens. The animal smell was strong - a scent defined by piss, herbivorous shit, and a mustiness still harder to explain. Off to the side, within another fence, was a small personal garden. Rais followed the aide inside.<br/><br/>There was the distinct smell of candle smoke, some of it stale from gathering on the rugs that covered the dirt floor. Spices hung along strings across the walls, and added to the smell. On the furthest wall, there was a tapestry depicting Saint George slaying a serpent with a polestaff. The image had none of the complexities of western realism. It was simple, one dimensional, and wholly native.<br/><br/>The elder was not so old - in his fifties, maybe, though had had chose to grow a storm-grey beard. He was wrapped in a deep blue cloak, and sat at a simple wooden table with his son by his side. The son was a young man. He held a round-shield in one hand, and a Great War era German rifle in the other. Across the table from them was the Quartermaster - and Arabic man, balding, small, and wearing a uniform covered in dust. A map was splayed across the table.<br/><br/>Rais took off his hat, and ducked so that he missed a gourd-pot hanging from the ceiling as he walked toward them. The Quartermaster noticed him and nodded a salute. ""Ras, this man has information we can't find on the map."" he beckoned Rais over. ""Come here, see this."" When they were all around the same table, the elder pointed.<br/><br/>""This place here, in the valley below. There is a well here."" the elder explained. ""It is old, and my people prefer the one closer to us, but I do know that this well will provide."" he explained. ""In the time of my grandfather's grandfather, our village was further up the ridge, near here."" he pointed to a place near the pinnacle of the ridge. ""It was a rough place, but we had enemies because there was no unity in the country. It was easier to defend. When the rough days were gone, we moved down here.""<br/><br/>""How do you know?"" Rais asked bluntly. ""Have you used it?""<br/><br/>""I used it when I hunted several years ago. It was not long ago, because the Emperor was still royal Yaqob. The water from that well was good. It had been many years since a drought had hit us here, and I know the water is still good.""<br/><br/>""He showed me something else."" Daud said, excited. ""The topography is hard to read on this map. This area is so rough, it isn't surveyed as well as it could be. He has told me, though, that this road follows the route his people had immigrated on, but it isn't the quickest way down to the main road."" he drew a line along the map, curving near where the new well was. ""Erosion has made this path. We will have to look at it, but I think it might simplify our supply problem. He says there is a footpath there that we can follow. Of course, we should probably mark it.""<br/><br/>Rais nodded. ""Good. Do that."" he could see how useful that would be. It could shorten supply runs by nearly half a day, and it would be harder to detect for Spaniards on the ground. Even a few hours of confusion could be enough to take dozens of enemy lives with the guns they were placing in the heights.""<br/><br/>""We will need to take more measures to deal with enemy aircraft."" he pointed out. ""Do you think we could bring some smaller flak guns?""<br/><br/>The quartermaster grasped his chin in thought. ""Maybe... those paths won't support trucks, put if we take the guns apart...""<br/><br/>""We are already doing that in some of the rougher locations."" Rais affirmed. ""It can be done.""<br/><br/>""So we will do it."" the Quartermaster replied.<br/><br/><b>Western Desert, Egypt</b><br/><br/>Leyla had spent a long time painfully suspended in and out of consciousness. Her torso revolted in pain, from the burning place in her side where she had been wounded. In her head, she heard explosions, large explosions with the force of thousands of pounds of TNT, echoing in her head. It was, after a while, like a storm thundering in her skull. She felt as if she knew where it had came from.<i>The Aksum</i>. She didn't remember seeing ship explode, or hearing about it. It was something she knew in the pit of her stomach. She didn't question her knowledge until she woke up.<br/><br/>Her body was sore. The sun was rising in the east and washed the sky in glowing stripes of color. Red, then blue, then purple. She felt the unprotected chill of the desert that surrounded her. There were no sounds of weapons discharge, nor were their signs of corpses or burning war-fires. All she sensed was the sound of trickling water, the hiss of the wind, and silence stretching as far as she knew. The silence was the best part. Even though she didn't know where she was, she was not afraid for the first time in days.<br/><br/>Surrounding her were a dozen or so people, all sleeping on the sand. A few were covered in blankets, or wrapped up in sleeping roles, but most slept unprotected on ground. She could tell immediately that they were Ethiopian soldiers.<br/><br/>She sat comfortably for a while, wrapped up in a bedroll and covered with a blanket. Her back rested against a pillar of rock. She noticed a statue overlooking them, its crumbling base forcing it against a rock. Wind and time had worn at the face, but the work was undoubtedly Egyptian. It wore a long crown, and held its hands out in a welcoming gesture. She wondered why it was here, in the middle of nowhere. A guardian for the nearby spring? She knew very little about the ancient Egyptians, but she knew they took some pride in their monuments. It was surprising to see one decaying out here.<br/><br/>Her thoughts wandered to the more recent past. What had happened at the close of the Battle of the Suez? She knew in her gut that the<i>Aksum</i>had exploded, but she couldn't remember how she knew. There was a sense of an explosion, but no memories. It bothered her. It should have went off in the canal, but the counter attack - the last thing she remembered - left her with doubts. She<i>felt</i>that they had failed, but she needed more than that.<br/><br/>And what had happened to her partner? Elias had disappeared in the fighting. She did not see his face here with the soldiers.<br/><br/>The battle haunted her. She could still see the wounded, there mangled bodies burned into her brain. She had killed before, and she had seen people die in the field, but the fiery violence that dominated pitched battle was more brutal than anything she had witnessed before. It was bodies shredded into red mush, and the sick smell of burning flesh. She knew that she would see it again, and she accepted this. It was part of her job, an experience she would have to grow callous to. She dwelled on it, intellectualizing her experiences. This was life. Every soldier in history had went through a similar education. She remembered the religion of her youth, and how the ancient Israelites spent several days in the desert cleansing themselves after battle. There was a hint of something beyond religion there; the story of every warrior coming to terms with their war.<br/><br/>It bothered her to think that he partner had possibly met the same fate. She couldn't get past that so easily. Was that man a crater now? The thought disturbed her. For strangers to be desecrated in battle, that was something she could rationalize, but for somebody she knew so well... She had knew his thoughts. He had a personality, and a youth, that was worth more than a Spanish artillery shell. Worth more than a canal.<br/><br/>""Woman."" a voice called out from nearby. She had fallen into a trance, forgetting about what was in front of her until then. The voice startled her. She gasped, and felt her ribs sting from the exertion.<br/><br/>""I'm sorry."" the voice responded. She saw him in his sack, awake and staring at her with tired yellow eyes. He was big, and she knew that he was the man who had carried her away from the fight. Her breathing calmed. He looked concerned, like he was struggling to think. His hair was a knotted bush of neglected dreadlocks, and a patchy beard covered his face. His voice was deep, but it was not harsh. He sounded empathetic, if not worried. ""Agent."" he said, correcting himself. ""I am sorry.""<br/><br/>""Sorry?"" she asked. Why was he sorry? He had saved her.<br/><br/>""Your head..."" he replied. ""When the... the ship..."" he looked down, and she could tell that he was sincere about being sorry. ""I dropped you."" he said.<br/><br/>""Dropped?"" she replied. ""On my head...""<br/><br/>""You wouldn't wake up for a long time."" he replied. ""Two days. We were afraid you might die.""<br/><br/>Two days. Had she lost that much time?<br/><br/>The other men started to wake up, slowly and one at a time. They looked used, and tired. She was certain that they hadn't had any sleep. The battle had taken a toll on them. And, she realized, they were retreating. When they seen that she was awake, they focused on her. She could see expectation in their eyes, as if they were waiting for her to answer their problems. What had happened in the time she was out?<br/><br/>""The ship..."" she remembered, ""Did it...""<br/><br/>""No."" one of the men said, wistfully. ""They stole it and took it out to sea.""<br/><br/>That was it. They had failed. The Spanish would not slow down, and there was no way for her to get home before the enemy landed there. Another realization slowly dawned on her. Everything she had witnessed, everything she had suffered or lost... it was all in vain. They had not sacrificed their lives - a sacrifice suggests something was gained from their sufferings, or their death. There was no sacrifice here, just loss.<br/><br/>Elias...<br/><br/>""Did you see another agent?"" she asked. She watched her companions hopefully, looking for any sign that they might know.<br/><br/>""I do not know."" the larger man said. She could see him thinking, the wheels in his head spinning slowly just behind his eyes. ""Many retreated, but we have all been scattered. Are you looking for somebody?""<br/><br/>""A partner."" one of the soldiers interrupted. ""You Walinzi come in pairs."" he paused for a second, like a dog waiting for a reward. ""No, I have not seen any more of your kind. If he got away, he may have went south. We went west.""<br/><br/><i>If he got away.</i><i>If</i>She felt her chest drop when she heard those words. ""West."" she asked. ""To Cairo?""<br/><br/>""West because it is away from the canal."" the larger soldier replied. ""We do no know where we are going. Or where we are. We thought you might know.""<br/><br/>""Know..."" They hadn't planned for a route. ""We have to go south, to meet up with our people.""<br/><br/>As dawn turned to day, they prepared to leave. Leyla had to struggle to stand. Any pressure she put on her torso caused her side to convulse in fresh pain. When she did get on her feet, she lifted her shirt to see what the damage was. Her side was bruised from her waist to the middle of her ribs - a sickly colored mix of purple, red, and yellow. Her skin was sensitive to the touch, but there was no sign of blood, or any open wound.<br/><br/>The big man lifted her things for her. He looked at her sadly, and it made her feel uncomfortable. Did he know something she didn't? He looked different than the other soldiers - older, maybe in his forties. He wore his uniform unbuttoned, revealing a bony chest, and he had a Chinese rifle slung over his shoulder.<br/><br/>""I am Barentu"" he introduced.<br/><br/>She smiled. ""I'm Leyla.""<br/><br/>""I am sorry about your partner, Leyla."" he said sincerely.<br/><br/>""Elias..."" she replied. ""He can take care of himself. Right now, we need to worry about us. How near are we to Cairo?""<br/><br/>""Halfway, I think."" he said uncertainly.<br/><br/>""We cannot go there."" she said. ""Egypt is in anarchy. We don't know what is safe. I heard the Turks rule some of it, but I also read that the Turks say that we rule in Egypt, and that isn't true.""<br/><br/>""It is unsafe."" Barentu thought. ""Where do we go?""<br/><br/>""We have to find another road south. Avoid any large towns, avoid stealing, pay for everything. We can't afford to fight our way home.""<br/><br/>Barentu nodded. ""I will tell the others that this is our plan.""<br/><br/>She took one last look at the statue, its detail more apparent now that the sun had risen into the sky. It looked content - almost smiling. Weather had worn down most of its features, but what remained was an image that was remarkably peaceful. If she ever retired, she wanted to have a house in a place that felt like this. She walked away, and followed the other men toward the road, where two military land-rovers stood waiting. She looked them over, seeing the bullet holes left in their sides, and a smear of blood running down the fender of the first one. She shuddered."

Mostly untouched by the Ottoman Invasion and suffering very minor conflicts during the Civil War, mostly due to the city being a major naval center for the Regia Marina's Malta straight patrol fleet.<br/><br/>It was very peaceful in this area of the world, despite the Civil War still fresh in people's minds, the war raging in Africa, and the conflicts in the former Ottoman Empire.<br/><br/>Yet for Nazario Cardosi, it was a wonderful day to be in Italy. The Kingdom, despite owing great debts to the Spanish, have managed to remain neutral so far in the war torn era. A well deserved peace, he would say to himself as he nodded at a couple off-duty sailors fishing near the docks.<br/><br/>""Any luck with the fish yet? You two have been here for the better half of the day!"" He smirked as he walked over next to them. The two men let out a grumbled as they turned to him, but a small smile still held on one of their faces.<br/><br/>""Niente! Not a bite. Here I was hopping that with all the ships docked and not turning up the water, a fish would actually try to swim here! Ma no, bastardi. Not a single one."" Said the other man, ""Ilardi"" is what his uniform said. ""Adamo here thinks god has cursed us because I forgot to bring home a few tomatoes last night. How was I supposed to know we were out? I was at my brothers!""<br/><br/>""Taking a siesta at that, I bet."" Adamo would chip in, his gregarious nature showing as usual. ""Nazario, why are you still walking around the docks today? The women have gone home to cook or handle children, you can't find any here at this hour!""<br/><br/>Nazario would chuckle, ""I'm not here for the women, I was here to check on you two one last time. You're back on duty in three hours, no? I wanted to stop by one last time to wish my two favorite cousins a good bye!""<br/><br/>""Bah, we're only your favorites because we cook good food when we stop by to visit."" Ilardi would chip in as he set down his fishing pole against the railing, his other hand roughly rubbing the back as his neck as he turned to the other two.<br/><br/>Nazario let out a deep chuckle. ""Well, I'm not the lying time so you have me there. Anyway, when do you two believe you'll be back?""<br/><br/>Both cousins tensed up, however it would not be very noticable to someone not used to their body language. Nazario was however, and his eyebrow raised slightly.<br/><br/>""Well..."" Ilardi would start to say, before getting cut off by his shorter cousin. ""We don't have a solid date this time, Cugino. The Regia Marina has been on elevated alert for a while now, nothing serious though. Just extra time at sea.""<br/><br/>""That sounds understandable, maybe there will be fish when you get back!"" Nazario let out cheerfully, trying to lift his two cousins' mood a bit. ""When you two get back, I'll make sure I'll have a beautiful women next to me and some wonderful food for you to eat instead of me!""<br/><br/>----------Palazzo del Quirinale, Rome.-----------<br/><br/>""Your majesty, your coffee is ready. Are you sure you do not wish for me to send some servants to bring you some?"" Came through from the other side of the door, as King Florenstano leaned back in his chair. His hair and face starting to show the signs of age and stress and he set down another sheet of paper.<br/><br/>""No."" He said, just loud enough so the people on the other side of the door could hear. ""They have other matters to attend to, I shall get it myself.""<br/><br/>There was several long moments of silence, and Florenstano sighed as he pushed himself up, letting out several groans. ""I need a new back - or a new body all together.""<br/><br/>He grabbed his cane that was leaning against his desk, tapping it a few times before walking to the door and opening the large Mahogany doors and nearly walking straight into a man with a very well decorated uniform.<br/><br/>""Ah, Maresciallo d'Italia Carlo. You are early, I see. You were not to arrive for another half hour.""<br/><br/>Carlo bowed his head in respect, before smiling. ""Is that how you welcome home an old friend? It has been months!"" Carlo said joyfully, shaking Florenstano's hand as the King slowly returned the smile.<br/><br/>""You may be my friend, but I am still the King. Still no salute? No bows? My friend, I am offended by your lack of respect for someone of superior stature and rank!"" He replied, sarcasm seeping from his voice as he reached and patted Carlo on the back. ""I assume you have done as I requested?""<br/><br/>""Yes my King, with Spain engaging in conflicts with Ethiopia, I have begun the starting phases of heightened alert and mobilization of the army. Grand' Ammiraglio Fabro has shortened all shore leaves and increased the basic patrols. Should Spain wish for us to be involved, we are now in a position for both possible answers.<br/><br/>""Good, I pray to God that the Parlamento says<i>no</i>should that question come. I do not want our people to suffer through another war, even if that means damaging the relations between our ally. We are no military power anymore. The Great War has long passed, and the Ottoman Empire and Ballista showed us how outdated we are. It is best for us to sit and be the neutral part in the conflict.""<br/><br/>""Now tell that to the Eagles in the Parlamento. I've seen then, your Majesty. They want nothing more then to throw young boys off into muddy trenches and sand dunes to show the world our 'power.' Madness, I say."" Carlo said, his smile turning into a small frown as he walked down the long hallway with his King.<br/><br/>Many thoughts were racing through both of their minds - International tensions are rising faster every second, the Suez Canal is going to be unusable for a very long time due to probable conflicts in the Red Sea and the canal proper. It seems that no matter where Italy gos, it will lose something in the end. There just is no clear path.<br/><br/>Florenstano slowly came to a stop, his cane making a very audible clang as it hit the wall to his right. ""Go downstairs and contact the Prime Minister, and have him contact the Grand' Ammiraglio as well as the Maresciallo dell'Aria. I think it is time for a meeting.""<br/><br/>Carlo let out what one would assume would be a grunt, but Florenstano knew him. It was the fastest way he could say yes.<br/><br/>Carlo saluted, did an about face and moved quickly to the stairs.<br/><br/>""These wars will drag the world to hell."""

What had once been a city was now a mass of shattered stone and concrete, the streets littered with bodies and shattered vehicles.<br/><br/>Delgado sat alone on the edge of the Canal, the sun on his face. Never before had he been so happy to see a sunrise in all his life. The explosion that had blinded him had been close, the same wall that he sheltered behind moments earlier had probably saved his life. One of its stones had come loose and hit him in the head, the instant gushing of blood had blinded him completely.<br/><br/>For one terrifying moment he had thought he was blind forever until his desperate pawing managed to get the blood from his face. He could see enough to pull a bandage from his battle harness and push it to his forehead. A splash of water from the Canal later, the salt stinging his eyes and wound, he could see again. He had sighed a breath of relief.<br/><br/>Not far from where he sat, his compatriots had already rounded together a cleanup detail. A tow truck that had evaded destruction the night before had been requisitioned for the task of clearing the Suez of debris. With a sputtering, diesely roar, the truck’s winch spun about and pulled against some submerged mass. The truck’s wheel sank into the mud, resisting and gently sliding about in the silty muck on which it parked. But the machine proved triumphant after some struggle as a rusting, twisted I-beam crawled up out of the canal and onto the shore like a beached whale. A team of “divers” - a pair of Egyptian men dressed in naught but their underwear - emerged from the canal to assist the Spanish infantry remove the clamps from the steel cable. Even as a foreign volunteer to Spain himself, Delgado was puzzled by their motivation in assisting the very soldiers that had utterly destroyed their city.<br/><br/>The sound of a helicopter pulled him out his reverie and he glanced up just in time to see a massive Barracuda gunship sweep overhead, the down draft buffeting the men who stood along the side of the Canal. Everyone paused to look up at the aircraft as it circled once, looking for a landing area. The only space available was what remained of a plaza some 100 yards away. Delgado watched as the aircraft hovered down behind the damaged buildings before turning back to the Canal and slinging his rifle and hurrying towards the men with the tow truck to lend a hand.<br/><br/>As Delgado approached the tow truck, a body of soldiers could be seen moving down the path. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed one amongst them that stood out from his peer in terms of dress. Surrounded by a cadre of khaki tan uniforms was a man clad in a jacket - that alone was enough to give Delgado pause in this arid land. Forest green, lapelled, and festooned with golden epaulets. His knowledge of the Spanish Ejercito’s structure was limited, but Delgado could only assume that this was a man of substantial import. He halted on the spot and snapped in salute.<br/><br/>The newly arrived soldiers marched alongside the officer in a dignified manner as an entourage or unit of guards with weapons snugly cradled in their arms. They approached the tow vehicle and halted before him, taking position amongst the rubble as their superior approached. His arrival prompted the regular infantry to salute as well as Delgado had already.<br/><br/>“I am looking for one Francisco del Cal Delgado of the International Brigade.” The stoic-faced officer announced to no one in particular once he had the undivided attention of the regular infantry. Delgado’s heart seized upon hearing his own name from the mouth of this imposing figure. “I am told he may be found here.”<br/><br/>“I am him.” He uttered, captivating the commander’s attention. The man in the lapelled jacket pivoted and approached. The officer came in close - closer than Delgado appreciated - and scanned the Argentine up and down. Stern, cold eyes swept over him, noting every scrape and wound earned the night before.<br/><br/>“Do you know who I am?”<br/><br/>“Sir… no, sir.” Delgado admitted, still locked in salute.<br/><br/>“I would be your General - Victor Ponferrada.”<br/><br/>“Good morning, General. You honour us with your visit.” Said Delgado as he dropped his arm and shifted slightly, strangely aware of how disheveled and battle stained he was compared to the men who had come with the General.<br/><br/>“Likewise, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Francisco - Sergeant Delgado… You know that this is a rare thing in our army? I can name on one hand enlisted men that have climbed in rank with such speed.”<br/><br/>“Sergeant Delgado, I understand that you are no Spaniard. Tell me, “the General pressed closer in, “were is it that you call home?”<br/><br/>“The Mendoza region of Argentina, sir. My father owns a small vineyard there.”<br/><br/>“A<i>vinero</i>?” Ponferrada asked incredulously, almost seeming amused. “That is what you are? Are you certain?”<br/><br/>“Well...” Said Delgado after a small pause. “Truth be told, it seems I have a talent for this sort of work.” He gestured about him. “Though I am not certain it is something I would chose to brag about. Though I make a rather terrible farmer.”<br/><br/>“A talent?” Ponferrada shook his head. “My understanding is that you took the life of no fewer than thirty men last night. A man with no military training that took the life of thirty men? I have never heard of such a thing - in all my service to this Ejercito. This is no talent, Sergeant. You are born for this.”<br/><br/>“You may be right sir, though I think my initial success came from being too foolish and ill-trained to know when to run the opposite direction, but now…” He glanced down at his hands, his arms were soaked to the elbows in the blood of a man whose throat he had slit in the fighting. “I suspect you may be right.”<br/><br/>“I know this much. I am a man who recognizes merit; I see a wealth of it in you, Sergeant. I see a potential in you that would be wasted in the Brigada Internacional. I have greater things imagined for you.”<br/><br/>“Once we have cleaned… this mess,” General Ponferrada gesticulated briefly to the canal and those working to clear it of debris. “our Armada will make for the Horn of Africa. The enemy expects a landing - even now they fortify their coasts in anticipation of our attack. It will require hard men to storm those beaches, men like you.”<br/><br/>“I give this offer for you to make, Sergeant Delgado: remain here with the International Brigade here in Egypt. Or you will leave this force and join with the regular Ejercito and fight to clear the coast in preparation for our landings with the understanding that you will be see<i>rapid</i>promotion. But there is no shame if you wish to remain here with the International Brigade in Egypt. There is much work to be done with this canal in the coming years, and the International Brigade will have no small part in seeing that realized.”<br/><br/>“I’d like to fight with the regulars, sir.” Delgado decided without hesitation. Ponferrada seemed nothing short of delighted.<br/><br/>“I am pleased to hear that, truly. You won’t be alone in this, I have selected a handful of others from the Brigade to move into the regular forces, though none show nearly as much promise as you. Your advancement will reflect that.”<br/><br/>“Which reminds me, Sergeant Delgado. By any chance, are you familiar with the Cazadores?”"

He placed his hand on the polished wooden surface of a senator's desk, these desks from whihc statesmen and scallywags alike sat behind. The dim lighting cast shadows across the empty room. Nigh on six in the morning and Russell was one of only a handful of people in the Capitol at this hour. Early mornings were a matter of routine for Russell when he was Majority Leader. He arrived at six on the dot and worked twelve and fourteen hour days.<br/><br/>This chamber was intimate; its little desks stretched in a semi-circle around the dais were a far cry from the huddled masses that packed the House on benches. His tenure as Speaker of the House was a success, but managing that body was akin to having a tiger by the tail. There was constant division between the parties and the various factions within those parties on nearly every single issue. On top of that, members came and went every two years at such a steady pace it became hard to keep track of who was who and where they stood on issues. That wasn’t the case in the Senate. Here ninety-six men were elected and stayed here for at least six years. A senator could be elected at the tail end of one presidency, serve through a full four year term of another presidency, and then a potential third president's first two years. Presidents came and went, but senators stayed. For Russell, those six years were plenty of time. He could get to know a man, learn his heart's desires, and learn to read him like a book.<br/><br/>For ten years Russell had dominated this chamber and bent the will of the ninety-five other men he had served with. He knew all the carrots and sticks to use to get the legislation he wanted passed. For a decade he had done legislative battle in this chamber and won far more often than he had lost. At one time he had been the most powerful Democrat in the country. And now? Now…<br/><br/>“Missing it already,” the voice from behind asked.<br/><br/>Senator Dixon walked into the chamber with his hands in his pockets. The Secret Service agent shadowing Russell looked towards him before he was waved off. Russell and Dixon shook hands before the senator walked towards his desk on the right side of the aisle. Russell followed and leaned against the desk next to Dixon’s while they spoke.<br/><br/>“I know Kelly is an early-riser,"" said Russell.""I wanted to scare him by being in his office when he gets here. I got distracted and ended up going down memory lane.”<br/><br/>“Sentimentality is unlike you, Russ. Pining for your old job?”<br/><br/>“Missing it,” Russell said softly. “I got promoted off the battlefield. I miss negotiating in the cloakroom, getting down to the nut-cutting with the opposition, counting votes in that last flurry before we know for certain how the vote’s gonna go. Most of all I miss the winning.”<br/><br/>“Well you and your boy in the White House are gonna have a win soon,” said Dixon. “I assume you’re here to harangue our fearless Leader about putting the NEWI bill on the legislative calendar.”<br/><br/>“Among other things.”<br/><br/>“Everyone wants to look good when it comes to national defense. President Fernandez’s military improvements were a great success, and Norman was a general. He wants to keep pushing further to get us stronger, as we all do. It’s a win-win for every one of us, no way it’ll fail in the Senate.”<br/><br/>“It’s not partisanship that concerns me. Tell me, Bill, what are the southerners saying about the president?”<br/><br/>Dixon raised an eyebrow at the vice president.<br/><br/>“I thought those bulldogs were firmly in your pocket. Thicker than thieves, y’all were.”<br/><br/>Russell shrugged, “Were. Since I became vice president they act differently. I think part of it is because I’m working with the President and they fiercely guard the Senate’s autonomy from the Executive Branch… but I think they’re also afraid of what I’m going to ask of them.”<br/><br/>“There’s a term that I’ve been hearing through the cloakrooms and offices, really more like mutterings. Civil rights, Russ. Everyone wants to know where President Norman stands on that issue, and you yourself known what lengths the South will go to block civil rights legislation.”<br/><br/>He knew very well the old southern tactic. For the last hundred years the South had dominated the Senate thanks to the seniority system that governed the body’s rules and procedures. Once a southern senator was voted into office, he would be returned back to Washington six year term after six year term. Southerners liked voting the incumbent so much that only death could truly remove a southerner from the Senate. These old bulls accumulated more power with each passing year, every key piece of legislation the Senate voted on passed through southern hands either on the committee level or on the floor during debate.<br/><br/>The legislative Fabian strategy involved using every modicum of that power to kill potential civil rights bills, not by meeting them head on, but by grinding the gears of government to a halt. A president would talk big about civil rights bills and try to introduce legislation; plenty of it would pass the House only to die a slow and ignoble death in the Senate thanks to the southern power inside. They would delay and filibuster and drag their feet on every other important bill that the White House wanted to see passed, they would hold the government hostage until finally the president and his allies had no choice but to rescind any civil rights bill from the floor so things like spending bills and tax reform could get passed. Russell himself had used the tactic twice when he was Leader, at the pressing of the old bulls of course. Despite his own mixed views on segregation, he owed his standing in the Senate to the old bulls. He had to do plenty of things against his nature to keep the old men who loved him happy.<br/><br/>“Where do the Republicans stand on civil rights?” Russell asked.<br/><br/>“Indifferent at best. All the Republicans from the Northeast and the Midwest don’t really have enough Negroes in their state to really matter politically. Oklahoma has segregation, but we got more Indians than we do blacks. I probably couldn’t get away with voting for anything like that, but plenty of them could with the right incentives and promises from Norman.”<br/><br/>Russell’s brain went to work with lightning speed, running down every senator, his political inclinations, and allies he caucused with.<br/><br/>“Plenty of wiggle room,” he said after nearly five seconds of silence. “It could go either way if someone managed to get it out of committee and on the floor. But any talk about that bill is hypothetical at the moment. Right now I’m worried about them hijacking the NEWI bill, extorting the administration for a definite deal on no civil rights bills. I’ve told the president and everyone else at the White House they need to pass everything important to them before they even try to introduce a bill like that.”<br/><br/>“So the president is interested in passing something?”<br/><br/>Russell threw his hands up. “It’s about time, Bill. You’ve seen the news from Mississippi the past few days, Nantchez or Natchez or however the hell you pronounce it. It’s nineteen eighty, nearly a hundred and twenty years since they were freed and we have to give them something.”<br/><br/>“You sound like a damn idealists,” Dixon said with a chuckle. “The Russell Reed I used to know valued pragmatism over everything.”<br/><br/>“Well…,"" he said with a creeping grin. ""A Norman desegregation and voter rights act means a solid Negro vote for him going into ’84… or his successor in ’88.”<br/><br/>“That’s more like it.”<br/><br/>Russell laughed and leaned back on the desk with a smile on his face while he looked around the chamber.<br/>“Before you got here I was thinking... Remember three years ago, when Fernandez had that bill abolishing oil depletion allowance tax.”<br/><br/>A smile broke out on Dixon’s face as he remembered.<br/><br/>“I swear to God I have never seen a man’s face get that red in all my life. It turned the same color as his tie when he found out his bill was going down in flames.”<br/><br/>“Democrats and Republican working together to give the White House the middle finger.”<br/><br/>“When we were kings, Russ.”<br/><br/>When I was a king, Russell thought to himself. Now he was on the outside looking in and hoping he could keep his promises to the president.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/><b>Cascadia Territorial Police Force Headquarters<br/>Vancouver</b><br/><br/>“Sergeant Brian Shea,” Mark Echols said to himself.<br/><br/>He looked at the photo of the US Army soldier and compared it with the morgue photos of his John Doe. The personnel photo was from a few years ago, but it was a solid match to the dead body Echols was responsible for. Brian Shea, according to the thin report Mark had, was a technical sergeant based out of Fort Dixon. Dixon was one of five military bases the US Army installed after the war to house the US’s occupying force.<br/><br/>Fort Dixon put out an AWOL alert on Sergeant Shea a week before his body was found in that field in Surrey and he left his post at the base a week before that. Mark placed the picture down and leaned back in his char to think. Two weeks in the wild for Sergeant Shea that ended up in that field, naked with a bullet in the back of his head.<br/>Echols picked up his files hobbled across his office, leaning on his cane with one hand while the other hand worked on placing files on his corkboard. The corkboard had tacked to it every scrap of information on the murder. Shea’s photo went at the center of the board, wedged between the crime scene and morgue photos. Near the edge of the board were the autopsy and crime scene reports, both he kept coming back to over the past few days.<br/><br/>The only detail worth mentioning in the medical examiner’s report was concerning Shea’s aroused state. Fluid samples indicated that he was in the middle of intercourse when he was killed. Coupled with that nugget was the additional findings from the crime scene techs that indicated Shea was shot elsewhere and dumped in that field. The slug pulled from the back of his head was a .38 round in some kind of weird-ass wide wadcutter variety. The slug would be easy to run evidence against if he could find a murder weapon. At this point, there were a lot of ifs before he could even get to that point.<br/><br/>Mark checked his watch. It was a little after five in the morning. He had called Fort Dixon and left a message with a major on night duty, concerning Shea’s disappearance. The major gave his assurances he would run it up to the colonel when he arrived that morning at six. Fort Dixon was situated outside of town, a good twenty minute drive. Mark hobbled out the office and decided to eat breakfast before calling on the good people at Fort Dixon that morning.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/><b>North Vancouver</b><br/><br/>Arthur looked at the device in his hands before placing it on the workbench beside the plastique. His heart pounded so hard he could hear the pulse in his ears. He spent a week on it, wiring it together and soldering between classes and hanging out with Alex and the rest of the Friends. Chris was gruff, but he was starting to come around to him and he wasn’t sure but he felt like Joanna liked him. What Alex was planning was… stark and Arthur was unsure if he could do it, but it was a necessary task to set up their future. The Friends were just that to Arthur, something he hadn’t had in a long time. Not since before the war.<br/><br/>“Still working?”<br/><br/>Joanna stood at the top of the steps leading down to the basement. The apartment the three, now four, of them lived in was furnished by Alex. He was cool about letting Arthur move his tools and equipment down to the basement and using it as a work room.<br/><br/>“Just doing some last minute soldering before I call it a night. I want to make sure it’s ready to go before tomorrow night.”<br/><br/>She walked down the steps while Arthur wiped his hands off on a rag. He was preparing to stand up when he felt her arms wrap themselves around his neck and her warm breath on his neck.<br/><br/>“Are you ready for tomorrow,” she breathed into his ear, her lips caressing his earlobe. “Are you ready to do what needs to be done for the cause?”<br/><br/>Alex stood and looked down at her. He wasn’t sure if it was genuine love, infatuation, or just plain lust, but he felt his heart, and something else, swell at the sight of Joanna. She leaned in and they shared a brief, passionate kiss.<br/><br/>“I’ll do what I need to do,” Arthur said steadfastly.<br/><br/>“Good. Come on, it’s time for bed.”<br/><br/>Arthur looked back at the mess of wire, electronics, and plastic explosives before turning off the workbench lamp and heading upstairs, hand in hand with Joanna."
22077,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2014-12-28 03:26:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<b>Perm, Russia</b><br/><br/>The twisted remains of furniture decorated the side of the hallway, like the corpses of the casted away and the defeated. Pieces of wood, like bones, laid out scattered. From somewhere the acrid burning smell of a fire blew along the cold evening breeze funneled through the hallway. It brought no warm familiarity. Only a sense of being alien. And how long some had fallen.<br/><br/>Jun walked quietly along the long narrow hallway of some mid-level floor of apartments. His hand stroked the broken and twisted legs of discarded chairs. His boots crackled against the carpet, rubbing into the thread-bare rug bottles, or needles. He couldn't tell which, in the dim light they shone the same.<br/><br/>In the distance a sad waltz played on someone's gramophone. Muffled shouting drummed through the walls as distant couples fought. A dark barked. Someone laughed. Not healthily. Sickly and twisted, like a drunk or someone on the edge of their sanity. Compared to the rest of Perm, this was a dim nightmare. The face the city wanted to hide, the cancer it fought. The ills that had wrung Russia dry. How many centuries was it since the nation suffered such disarray?<br/><br/>Still, credit could be given. There was electricity, clear as the setting day-time sun. Fixtures glowed with fresh incandescent oranges and yellows, giving a sickly warm glow to the straight and narrow hall with the towering ceiling. Jun marched down the lighted corridors. Eyeing the doors as he passed. Counting the numbers. The dealer had said the man that produced lived here.<br/><br/>It was a far shot, but it would have to work. Worse came to worse, the man gave him directions to another nobody without any credibility. It was a prospect he hated to get. But the expectant dull anger that ground in him could be suppressed for now.<br/><br/>Jun turned a corner. The building seemed to be getting quieter. The old familiar noises that it had introduced him too growing duller and quieter. He could feel the air thickened as he breathed softer. Fighting harder to tune into those old sounds. A feeling of distant caution followed his footsteps as he walked deeper. The faint note of some distant violin would spring to life, but it was no more than a pin being dropped on the tiles. There was a steady beating, near and far as he strode. All the sudden, he felt as if he were being stalked.<br/><br/>Like an animal.<br/><br/>He turned around, his hand dropping limply to his side as the packed garbage along the side gave way to emptiness. There was no soul behind him. Nothing moved in the sterile emptiness of the gray-paper walls, with the beaten browning carpet.<br/><br/>He aired on the side of caution. Jun could feel his breath rattle as he reached into his coat, gently unlatching the button that strapped his pistol to his breast. He only had so many rounds left, but he only had so much room himself to swing. It would be more sure to fire a gun. His number fingers pinched at the nickel steel, and pulled it, releasing the leather strap with a soft click.<br/><br/>Jun turned, resuming his patrol.<br/><br/>On the distance, the sharp staccato rattle of a bell rung down the hall. A faint flat tone that rang sharp then fell flat. It came to dominate the silence of the apartment. Jun followed the shrill jingling, passed the marching doors to the apartments long the side.<br/><br/>Jun gave pause outside the room that was his marked. Hanging on the scratched darkened wood tarnished brass numbers hung by a rusting nail. 016. It was the room the dealer's producer was said to be in. And it was the room that the telephone ringing was loudest.<br/><br/>He leaned close against the wood of the door. Fingers wrapping around the cold handle. His heart beat slow. His breathing held steady as he took readying breaths. He channeled himself for the job as the handle turned, and the door opened with a dry groan.<br/><br/>Stepping inside the air of the apartment hit him like a heavy musky hammer. The intertwining smells of sweat, blood, and dried semen filled the air with a rank putrid saltiness. But above that Jun noticed was a stomach turning chemical smell. Implacable, but bitter and harsh. Even numb, he could feel his lungs struggling at the bleached, sulfuric stench of the producer's living quarters.<br/><br/>It dripped and wafted through the empty apartment, without a soul but Jun to disturb. He rolled off from the stained green furniture, littered with bottles of beer and vodka, and a dozen too many full cigarette trays. In the far corner sat the phone. It shivered and shook on its receiver as it chimed endlessly. The agent scanned the room, cautious and shocked. And he wondered: how long had the phone been ringing?<br/><br/>He scanned the room, pressing himself against the wall as he moved along the edge of the small studio. Peering into a door to the side he found where the repulsive chemical stench was coming from. At the far end of a yellowing bathroom full of grime a stained white bathtub sat, filled to the brim with a foul liquid, vinyl and plastic tubes ran submerged into the gurgling broth, running out from cans of cleaner and a dozen other chemicals and acids. He was for sure trying to make a cut of the predict, somehow.<br/><br/>Grimmacing, disgusted, he reached over, and closed the door behind him as he crept. But found nothing more than the refuse of a very untidy man. He grew tense and nervous. Had he been lied to? Tricked? He felt angry, boiled. He looked to the still-ringing phone. A damnable curiosity and demand rising in his gut.<br/><br/>Jun spat as he looked over the room once more. Tripping over a grimy mattress buried under a sea of blankets and discarded garbage. He grumbled madly, kicking off a stiff rag that stuck to his foot. With a satisfied spit he kicked off the rag and stood next to the phone. Wondering.<br/><br/>It could be another lead.<br/><br/>He figured he probably shouldn't. But the bell was too much a siren. Reaching for the receiver, he bit his tongue. “Hello?” he said in muddied Russian.<br/><br/>“Do you even know what you're doing?” a voice on the other end crooned.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” Jun replied.<br/><br/>“Do you know what sort of bees nest you are kicking? What do you think you're doing? Can you fight ghosts, Uzkoglazy?”<br/><br/>“I don't know what you're talking about.” said Jun, turning to the window, peering out through the thick ashen film that had accumulated on the glass. He looked over to the building across the road, looking to see if anyone could be watching them.<br/><br/>“Of course you do.” the man said, “You haven't been that well hidden. You come into Perm and guns start firing. But we thought you would have died going into that damnable church. But what did that insane fool tell you? What did you promise that fucker?”<br/><br/>“Of course it does.” the voice on the other end crooned. His voice sounded slick like oil. Sharp as venom, “You don't walk into Perm like this, on the trail for blood and don't expect it to be picked up on. Your job in Yekaterinburg was very messy, and now we know.<br/><br/>“So how do you propose we continue? End it here? You go home? Or we talk?”<br/><br/>“There's nothing to talk about.” Jun snapped, turning back from the window.<br/><br/>“There's a lot.” said the voice, “I'm here in the north of town. 165, Repina street. You can come and try me if you'd like.”<br/><br/>“Try you, what do you mean?”<br/><br/>“You want my life. I know this. But just do something before you arrive.”<br/><br/>“What is this?”<br/><br/>“Not burn.” the phone sneered, clicking silent.<br/><br/>Jun stood aghast, bewildered. He frowned, staring at the dull gray wallpaper with a twisted expression. His blank stare was broken with a tremendous fiery blast. The agent's heart jumped a canyon as he dove. The hot tongue of fire and the biting teeth of shrapnel grazing the air alongside him as a wide explosive cone fanned across the room, spraying into the far war and sending up clouds of powdery drywall and plaster.<br/><br/>Wood board and smoke filled the room as a second thunderous explosion rocked through the room. Shattering the wood of the door as it chunks the size of fists exploded inward, hurling a hot mess of lead and wooden splinters. Jun turned his back to the explosive spray. Splinters and shrapnel flew against his back. He felt the molten warmth of cinders lick through the black leather of his coat, peeling back the tanned leather and flying back against him.<br/><br/>In the reprise between shots he turned, his face beat blank and paper-white as the wooden door swung open on its hinges. In the doorway looming a man of steel, shotgun burning cheery hot in his steel-gloved hands. The vacant tinted lens of a heavy mask stared into the main room of the studio apartment, bearing no emotion or human will.<br/><br/>The man behind the metal cocked the shotgun, ejecting a smoldering shell casing with a metal snap. Jun scrambled to feet as the man rose the gun to his shoulder. The cherry-red glow in its barrel subsiding as he aimed down the sights. Jun dove as the weapon gave another thunderous roar. Hot cinders blew up from behind him as he crashed into the mess that was the mattress bed with a stumbling roll. From behind him tongues of fire licked from the pulverized dry wall and plasterboard. The internal straps of wood within exposed and singed with a thin layer of blackened soot.<br/><br/>Jun moved quick, grabbing wildly out for anything on the floor. His teeth gritted and chewed as his heart raced. Pouring blood through him. His hands found something hard under neath the blankets. It'd have to be a chance, or some sort of distraction at least. Fingers wrapped around it he heaved the object out of the clumped sheets. Hurling through the air a thick rubbery dildo.<br/><br/>He didn't have time to register it, nor was it the moment. In blind desperation the rubber penis was in the air. And in the seconds after the last shot it collided with the mask of the assailant with a loud crashing clang. Jun turned in time to see the pink schlong roll off the bewildered mask of the attacker and to the ground. The shotgun whirling in his hands as he fumbled to push aside the rogue toy. Loose on his fingers, the trigger of the rose-red shotgun collapsed in his hands and fire with one loud thump into the carpet at his feet, exploding the ground before where he stood in a bloom of fire, carpet, insulation, and smoking wood.<br/><br/>Jostling and bouncing the dildo fell at his feet, the man no less shocked about what happened. It was Jun's chance. Jumping to his feet he charged for the door while the man was unaware. Putting his shoulder's first, he hoped to ram past him, and then to loose him in the halls.<br/><br/>He however never made it that far. The sound of his feet broke the man out of his distraction and the vacant welding mask that shielded his face looked up to catch the Chinaman coming for him. Jun slammed shoulder first into the barrel-chested sentinel, pushing into his side as thick heavy arms wrapped around him in a great bear hug. With a heave the might of the Russian pulled Jun off his feet and threw him to the hot ground below. With a crack his body bounced off the floor. His teeth gritted as he landed, if more at the shock than the lack of pain that tore along his back.<br/><br/>It was in less than a blink of an eye that he was staring up at his would-be executioner. He scrambled back to his feet. “Uzkoglazy!” roared the man from behind the mask, his voice sounding more machine that it could be living. Thick arms crashed down against his shoulders, pinning him to the floor as the pillar of steel mounted the agent.<br/><br/>The man in the armor screamed in rage as he rose his head back. Coming down against Jun's own with a crashing hammering blow. For a moment Jun went blank. The world washed out to black as for once a splitting pain and uneasy warmth exploded from his forehead. His eyes opened as the Russian reared back. Bellowing in rage as he readied to bring his head down again.<br/><br/>Jun's chest froze as the chest-breaking swing of the Russian froze to come down. Jun twisted, and through his coat his arms shifted under the grip of the Russia. He threw himself to the side as the Russian's head came down. The flat metal of the mask coming down to where his head had been with a rattling wooden crash against the floor. Its warm steel pressed against Jun's face.<br/><br/>Roaring, the assailant pulled his face from the floor. “Ublyudok!” he boomed. Jun felt him loosen the grip on his arms to readjust. Seizing the moment, he threw his arms out from under the hit-man's hands, and threw his palms up at his face, wrapping his fingers around the steel of the welding mask and throwing him to the side.<br/><br/>The sound he made hitting the rough smoldering carpet was akin to the sound of crashing pans. The armor plates smashed and crashed against him as Jun levered his weight over him, pushing himself on top of the hit-man, wrapping his fingers under the steel mask and prying. It didn't go without fighting as the other grabbed hold of his wrists and fought back. With all his strength Jun pulled back, yanking and levering the metal plate as the Russian underneath grabbed his arms tighter and tighter. An overbearing numbeness welled in his hands. Slowly eking away what feeling he had in his fingers.<br/><br/>The tug of war was quick to go nowhere as the two men fought and threw their weight into each other. Alongside them the fire from his shotgun began to smolder stronger, growing as tongues of sticky flames burst to life in the thick carpet. The Russian's hands hit Jun with the force of a truck, jerking him off into the wall with a sudden crack of his jaw. Jun's head hit the drywall with a papery crash, he tumbled off his foe as he lurched up, grabbing the Asian by his coat.<br/><br/>Jun felt himself soar into the air as he was lifted off the ground and thrown. His arms slipping through the sleeves of his long coat. He flew like a haphazard sack of onions across the room. Landing with a solid thud against the ground. His elbow spearing into his side with a wet crack. Sprawled on the ground he spat and sputtered, choking on wet phlegm building in his throat.<br/><br/>Behind him the thunderous foot steps of the Russian marched towards him with the beat of a drum. He turned to watch the overbearing man looming over him. Smoke filled the air about him. The faint shine of growing fire shone in his mask as he looked down. “This, mine.” he grumbled. Reaching down. Jun kicked himself away, backing himself against the wall.<br/><br/>The harsh gauntleted hands wrapped around the sword at Jun's hip. With one strong tug he broke the harness free, and pulled free the sheathed Mao Dao. He seemed to pause to consider taking Jun's Changu revolver. But turned away instead of taking it. He waded through growing fire as he walked to the door, holding in hand his looted sword, and pulling from a pouch behind a drab-green cylinder.<br/><br/>Jun's breaths trembled, chest heaved as he watched the beast of a man pull from the grenade its pin. Releasing the trigger he dropped it by the door as he turned to leave. Jun shook as he curled against the wall, throwing up his arms to guard himself. With a dull thud the room suddenly became engulfed with a harsh heat. A whopping rush tore in the air with a metallic hiss. Through his clenched eyes a sharp blinding light cut through the air.<br/><br/>When he opened them he found a silver sun blooming by the door. Forming out of its tail a whipping trail of golden fire as the incendiary grenade tore and seizured across the ground. Emitting a bright blinding light. A thick screen of silvery smoke exploded across the room, filling the already chemical-thick air with a new sharp acrid smell. Precious oxygen was sucked up, and the apartment became claustrophobic and unbearable. A hazy sensation was quick to ride onto Jun as he breathed in thick competing chemicals.<br/><br/>Jun staggered to his feet, stumbling along the wall as he headed for the window. Door was blocked off. He had no choice. Something exploded by the door, Jun flinched. His breath caught in his throat.<br/><br/>Shaking hands ran across the charred and chipped walls. Tongues of flame licking up from underneath as smoldering ashes turned to fire. The room was a haze of gray and white smoke. His head felt like it was swimming.<br/><br/>He found the window. His hands brushing against the warm hard glass of his only likely exit. Working frantically about the frame he searched for a lever, a button. Anything to unlatch the window and throw it open. But his numb fingers found nothing. Just the coarse wooden frame of a window, with the paint peeling.<br/><br/>“No, no, no.” Jun stammered. He looked behind him. The source of the white haze obscured by its own smoke. But the roar of a building fire was growing greater. He could feel the welling heat as it built rapidly. Something exploded again. Like a gun shot. Jun ducked. Nothing happened.<br/><br/>He needed to move fast. Searching the frame he continued to find nothing. He panicked. Breath shaking. Cough building in his chest as he breathed in more of the acrid, putrid smoke. There was another loud bang and he dove forward, against the table with the phone. With a dull chime the appliance danced on the table top.<br/><br/>He had no other choice.<br/><br/>Pulling himself back up he grabbed the phone, body and all. Pulling it up off the table he swung it to the side. Throwing it against the glass pane. With a crystalline sheering note it shattered outwards. Large teethes of glass exploding out into the Russian spring outside. Cooler air rushed into the heat of the apartment.<br/><br/>Turning, he grabbed the table the phone had called a home and shoved it through the empty window frame. Clearing out the remaining glass. Following the table, he climbed to the ledge outside.<br/><br/>The footing was tentative. And five stories below loomed the side-walk below. It was a long-fall, and already a crowd was pulling together. A bustling crowd was beginning to gather as the window six-floors above breathed smoke like some elder dragon.<br/><br/>He hugged the cold brick facing of the apartment building. Holding to the stone as he watched the street below from the corner of his eye. He trembled. It had been a long time since he was on a face so sheer, on an edge so thin.<br/><br/>In the distance sirens blared. His heart thundered in his chest. Adrenaline beating through him made him feel weightless. But flighty. He shivered on the six-story ledge, staring into the rough pattern of granite brick and cement mortar.<br/><br/>Jun rested his forehead against the wall, taking deep breaths. The events that had transpired still washing over him. “Fucking damn it.” he swore. He would have kicked himself.<br/><br/>Sighing, he shimmied along the wall. The spectators below called out. Shouted. Cheered. Or jeered. He couldn't tell.<br/><br/>He inched along to the next window on the apartment floor. With a careful hand he reached for his holstered pistol, and using the stock of the weapon broke through the glass. Clearing out the dagger pointed shards before climbing back in."
22078,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-01-03 23:02:00,gorgenmast,"<b>Atlas Mountains, Spanish Morocco</b><br/><br/>Julio Zuraban struggled to keep pace with Joaquin as they and a hundred other former prisoners scrambled across the desert sands and up into the rocky crags at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. Their presumed liberators, these masked men of the Sahara, rode alongside the sweating, panting caravan of malnourished Europeans on camelback. The steeds snorted and growled in annoyance as their riders bounced upon their humps and harried the beasts onward, maintaining a steady trot at the same pace as the Spaniards. A few of the riders cantered back to the tail of the sweat-moistened gaggle, demanding they move faster The words of these veiled men themselves were utterly foreign to the Europeans, but their exasperation communicated a demand for urgency that needed no translation.<br/><br/>This running trek through the desert would have been a challenge for Julio even under ideal circumstances. Though his duty as a Senator of the Spanish Republic had been a taxing post, as was his self-exile afterwards, neither line of work was particularly strenuous at least in terms of physical exertion. Though he was always a wiry man, Julio had never been able to call himself fit. Complicating his softness were months of neglect and imprisonment that had left Julio positively emaciated. An evening jog along the riverfront in Madrid would be a difficult proposition in his current state - to say nothing of a forced dash across the Sahara at the height of summer. Thick, cottony foam bubbled up under his tongue; his palate and tongue felt as if they would mummify with every breath of dessicated air that passed across his mouth and into his lungs. Atrophied legs threatened to bear Julio's strides no longer. He could simply collapse into the sand, let the others pass him by, and allow the desert to consume him. He could escape the hardship that had been the last four months - the last three years - here and now. At Arratzu, Julio<i>begged</i>his captors for death, as Sotelo had hoped. Here he could have that death that days ago he had wanted so desperately, if only he could falter and submit to the sand and the heat.<br/><br/>But Julio did not submit. With every aching stride Julio chose llife: to accept this new lease at freedom offered by the camel-borne warriors who had saved him from a fate<i>worse</i>than Arratzu. He would not squander his newfound freedom.<br/><br/>The desert sands sloped up in rippling dunes toward the sheer walls of the Atlas Mountains. Half buried slivers of rock sheered off the jagged peaks poked up from the dunes and presented a maze to the approaching prisoners and their mounted escorts as they drew closer. The Spaniards slithered through the boulders in a single line after the rider leading the prisoners, the man who had spoken to them in Spanish.<br/><br/>""This way!"" Their scarf-veiled leader commanded in perfect Castillian. ""Keep moving, we are nearly there!""<br/><br/>This man was distinct from from the other warriors. He was no Saracen, Julio knew that much. He had seen Bedouin tribes before once; a tribe of wandering Arabs outside of Damascus in Ottoman Palestine. Just as the ones that escorted them now to safety, they were merciful to strangers and ruthless to their enemies. The leader of these Bedouin was no native man. His Spanish was well pronounced and his grammar far more precise than that of self-taught speakers - he had clearly been educated in a more formal fashion. More tellingly, he rode his camel in a noteworthy fashion. He kept himself rigid upon the bobbing hump of his dromedary, whereas his comrades bobbed up and down in tandem with the trot of their steed. His method of riding was not as natural and organic as his companions, but learned and practiced. He was a foreigner of some sort.<br/><br/>A distant, percussive twocking echoed through the boulders and against the mountain face before them. This rumbling, mechanized din built in pitch with each passing second. The source could only be but one thing: helicopter rotors, and they were approaching fast.<br/><br/>""The Spanish are coming!"" The foreigner exclaimed, wide eyes visible through the open slit in his scarf as he turned toward the haggard escapees. ""Into the canyon! Move!""<br/><br/>Motivated by sheer terror for closing gunships, the prisoners burst forward as quickly as their legs could carry them after the foreigner Bedouin. The scarf-clad warrior dismounted from his camel and tumbled into the sand before leading his camel and the prisoners on foot into a craggy fissure running up a solid face of the mountain above. Joaquin stood at the threshold of the crack in the rock face, beckoning his companions through into the fault. Julio fell in behind a dismounted camel being walked through the narrow pass by one of the Bedouin. The Spaniards behind him pressed Julio forward into the rear of the camel, which groaned with annoyance as those behind him shoved him into the beast's haunches.<br/><br/>Though his face was firmly planted against the camel's ass and he hadn't the faintest idea where they were going, Julio felt the sand give way into a coarse gravel crunching underfoot. A moist, refreshing breeze coursed through the chasm, beckoning the prisoners further into the shadowy depths of the fissure. Cool blue light filtered into the chasm as the gaggle of escapees pressed forward after their liberator. Over their anxious murmurings, a gentle babbling could be heard like that of running water falling onto stone. Julio glanced over the camel's hump and saw a gout of cold, clean water spilling out from a hairline in the rock above his head and patter against the gravel below in a waterfall of fat, sparkling waterdrops. The trickle carved a gurgling ribbon through the chasm that ran into the blue light beyond.<br/><br/>With little warning, the camel moved ahead and gave Julio and those behind him a glimpse of what lay beyond the chasm. The fissure opened up into a massive gorge walled on either side by sheer stone walls some twenty or thirty meters high. That tiny rivulet beneath their feet joined with the larger brook that had carved this canyon out over millions of years. Olive bushes grew from the watered banks, each quivering of the in the shade-cooled breeze that coursed through the canyon. Camels attended by turban-sporting natives slurped water up from the deeper pools, menacing schools of tiny minnows as they did. The herders beheld the gaggle of prisoners with palpable suspicion, which seemed to be partially soothed when the Spanish speaker addressed them once again.<br/><br/>""We are safe here. Their gunships will not find us in these canyons. We must keep moving, but you need not exhaust yourselves. Move at a relaxing pace within reason and refresh yourselves with the stream water if you wish, I assure you that it is clean.""<br/><br/>Julio acknowledged the foreigner by collapsing onto his knees and dropping his head into one of the pools beside the camels. The surge of cold, bubbling water instantly extinguished the throbbing heat on his cheeks as he imbibed the surrounding water in humongous gulps. Upon surfacing, he found that nearly all the other prisoners had joined him in drinking from the canyon stream. The camel herders, still wary of the newcomers, had pulled their beasts away and continued down the gravelly corridor through the mountain. Joaquin, however, kept pace with the Bedouin leader as he and his fellow warriors went down through the canyon with camels in tow.<br/><br/>""Do you honestly think we are safe here?"" Joaquin demanded of the foreign warrior. ""You don't think that they'll not be suspicious when they find the wreckage completely empty when it should have dozens of people inside?"" We can't afford to slow down. We need to put as much distance between ourselves and that plane or we will be found.""<br/><br/>""The Spanish already know we are here, it is only that they do not know exactly where to find us. The destruction of their airplane will embolden them, their commanders will send more patrols out into the desert to locate us, leaving fewer men at their Mountain. We know full well what we are doing; who are you to question us?""<br/><br/>""He doesn't mean to come across so critically."" Julio exclaimed, butting into the exchange. ""Joaquin here is only concerned for us. He was a leader by profession, and he has his opinions what the best course of action is. We are all very grateful for you and your companions, and we are in your debt.""<br/><br/>""We will address this debt of yours soon enough. The Amghar will see you now. He shall decide how your people will assist us.""<br/><br/>The foreigner drew his hands across the scarves obscuring his face, loosening them and allowing them to fall upon his shoulders. He was a Subsaharan with characteristic nappy hair cropped short upon his head and forming a long yet well-kempt goatee that maned his mouth. His hazel eyes, light skin, and narrow nose however were decidedly un-African.<br/><br/>Julio's obsession with this man's identity distracted him from the walk through the canyon, as well as Joaquin's palm extended before him that immediately brought him to a halt and galvanized him from his reverie. It was then that he noticed the contingent of armed men standing before them at a bottleneck in the shady chasm. Great War machine guns nested behind stacked blocks of sandstone flanked either side of the narrowed pass, behind which turban-sporting North Africans trained on the Spaniards. The light-skinned African continued ahead, addressing them in Arabic once more. After a brief exchange, the guards lowered their guns and stepped aside, permitting the African and his following of liberated Spaniards into the narrows, but only with suspicious glares at the passersby.<br/><br/>Beyond the narrowing, the canyon opened into a massive sinkhole nestled within the bosom of the jagged mountains. The stream coursed through the narrows in a shallow riffle down to a cataract that emptied into a great blue pool. Waterfalls spilled out from cracks in the algae-stained walls of the sinkhole, feeding the oasis with meltwater from distant peaks. Majestic date palms grew to massive stature along the gravely shore of the oasis, their fronds forming a dense blanket that obscured the sunlight. Presumably, this curtain of palm leaves also hid the inside of the crater from anyone looking down from above. This, Julio presumed, was was the reason the Bedouin had chosen to place their camp here.<br/><br/>A small city of tents and tarp-roofs covered nearly every meter of available space in the sinkhole. Under draped tarps and betwixt palm trees, makeshift shelters housed every sort of supplies needed to fight a small war. The ancient clashed with the modern here; farriers hammered out horseshoes on forges built from oil drums and fueled by prepackaged grilling charcoal; horses and camels stabled under the same tents where anti-tank rifles were inspected and cleaned. Storage areas held dozens of sheathed swords resting on tables beside metal ammunition boxes. Julio had to make a double take when he saw a swarthy Saracen unloading long, silvery rockets from a crate stamped with Chinese lettering.<br/><br/>""Where in the Hell did all of this come from?"" Joaquin blurted, wondering aloud.<br/><br/>""It was difficult."" The African responded, slinking past a duo of natives carrying a long wooden crate down the path between the tents. ""The weapons especially. Good men died to bring them here. It is my hope that they kill many Spaniards.""<br/><br/>At the far end of the sinkhole, the African and his company came to rest before a pavilion - large and made from a rude, beige fabric. As the Spaniards caught their breath, a wizened and stoic Sarecen clad in a billowing robe pushed his way through the door flap. A long, gray beard hung from a face made into tanned leather by a lifetime in these inhospitable lands. It was face whose features spoke of immense displeasure.<br/><br/>""You have brought the enemy to our camp!"" He rasped, a trembling hand feeling for the pommel of the sheathed sword on his hip. ""This is a foolish thing indeed. You told me that you were wise in the ways of war. What wisdom is this, what kind of adviser are you? God willing, you have an explanation.""<br/><br/>""These are no enemies, Amghar."" The African explained, reverting to Arabic. ""They were aboard the airplane of the Spanish that was shot from the sky. We slew the pilots, but found these people within the airplane's belly. I think that they are prisoners of some kind.""<br/><br/>""Prisoners? This plane was flying toward the Mountain?""<br/><br/>""There is nowhere else it could have been going, Amghar. It is possible that every plane we have witnessed passing over these lands is carrying prisoners like them to the Mountain.""<br/><br/>""That is impossible."" The ancient Saracen huffed. ""It defies logic. Why would the infidel expend such resources to transport their prisoners to the Mountain? Are there no prisons in Spain? I cannot believe such a thing. These men are agents of the Dajjal. What else could they be?""<br/><br/>The Amghar drew his sword, eliciting visible fear in the prisoners as the straight-bladed longsword cleared the sheath. Despite his advanced age, the Amghar found ample strength to point the silvery tip at Joaquin's chest.<br/><br/>""They are agents of the Dajjal. They are captive enemies. Our people do not keep captives. You know this, Dejene.""<br/><br/>""These men<i>are</i>prisoners, Amghar."" A woman exclaimed, commanding the attention of everyone. A silky hijab obscured her hair, but left her face visible. Her skin was fair and light - far lighter than any Arab or African. She was of obvious European descent. How she had come to arrive at this place was anything but. She made her way to the elder. ""Please, lower your blade.""<br/><br/>""You would let them live, Graciela? So that they will betray us and deliver us on a plate to the Dajjal?""<br/><br/>""Sotelo is as much an enemy to these men as any of us. Dejene could not have found more dependable allies than them. They have been beaten within an inch of their lives, this because they threatened Sotelo's autocracy. In the past year, some among them have been taken from the prisons and sent away by plane. My father and his people were likely among them. I didn't imagine that they would send them here.""<br/><br/>""They are taking Spaniards to the Mountain? As they have with my people?"" The Amghar asked, lowering his sword from Joaquin's breast at last. ""I had thought that place was a fortress. Now you are saying that it is a prison?""<br/><br/>""I don't know. Arratzu - where these people came from - was a prison. The facility here,<i>La Cabeza</i>... I don't know.<br/><br/>But these people might. If anyone knows what lies in wait for us in that place, it will be them. Let them live and allow me to speak with them. They will fight alongside your warriors, Amghar. But we must show them that they are safe here first.""<br/><br/>The Amghar stood silently for a time, staring into the gravel beneath his feet as he thought to himself.<br/><br/>""I will let this be.<br/><br/>Graciela, Dejene... speak with the Spaniards. Feed them as we are able, and find out all that they know of the Mountain. Find out what is in store for us."""

Driven, determined, and above all, attractive, he can be a bit reckless and selfish, but that was more than eclipsed by the fact that, well, he genuinely wanted what was best for his nation. And, in this Election Debate, he can, and will, prove it. For Carlos was now facing the incumbent, President Ramon Cristobal, who, despite the taint of corruption, still held, in his corpulent, pale, form, an air of experience. And, so, Carlos had to be careful.<br/><br/>""Capitalism has failed us,"" Ramon Cristobal was now saying, ""The American system of 'Free Enterprise' has only brought money and power to a few, an oligarchy,"" how ironic considering that Cristobal was born from the ranks of that same oligarchy, ""who hoarded their wealth, built dynasty after dynasty of collaborators, and, furthermore, betrayed their own ideals of competition by the instiution of company monopolies and the gifting of entire corporations to cronies. And now,<i>ang bata na ito</i>(this child here), wants to bring back that system? While at the same time plunging us to a future war? War has brought nothing but pain and suffering towards our people, everyone here must know that,"" there was actually some passion in that plea, and so it was Carlos' turn:<br/><br/>""And look what is happening now!"" the brown-skinned, well-built, black-haired and brown-eyed man spoke, looking immaculate in his suit. ""We may not be suffering anymore, but can we call this prosperity? We used to be happy, even under the system of exploitation that you decry. We used to meet life with a smile, with optimism. We used to dream that if we worked hard, we would be able to live a happy life, resting upon the fruit of our labors. The only thing wrong with that dream was that it was a lie, but it was a lie that could have been made into truth. Look at us! We have health and education, but we lack work! We have land and are free from the hand of the tyrannical landlord, but not the means to improve said land!"" He then continued:<br/><br/>""Our State-Run Enterprises are, with few exceptions,"" Carlos meant the Mining Industry, ""corrupt and inefficent, reliant on constant subsidies to keep running. Our currency is kept up by artificial means. Our trade is supposedly needs-based, yet we have no surplus to call our own! We are wasting money and resources that we can better use elsewhere!"" He now had the initiative, and would press on:<br/><br/>""As for the coming war with Spain and the Comitern, Spain has learned nothing from her earlier failures, and is starting a war to destroy the very systems you hold dear. they despoil and demean the people of the world, denying them their basic rights. Let us not forget the fact that we were once theirs, the days of the Friars, of the Forced Labor, of the denial of positions based on skin color. A war on them is a war to save the world -"" it was not Ramon's turn.<br/><br/>""Our State-Run enterprises have provided the Government with revenue that it uses for the benefit of the people, never forget that,"" Ramon was giving a somewhat angry rebuttal, ""and as for War, you know nothing of it, and furthermore, it is obvious to everyone that you just want to send troops against Spain - eventually - so that our Chinese Protectors would look upon you and say: 'what a faithful member of the Internationale he is, let us support him! Such a cynical bid for power,"" he said with no small amount of irony; he himself had been among the first to collaborate with the occupiers. ""That said, I will not deny that the situation needs improving, that we need more jobs, but said jobs can be provided by the State."" He was now finished.<br/><br/>""Which in turn causes increased maintenance!"" Carlos was now regaining the initiative, hitting back. ""As for revenue, private corporations who pay their taxes and tolls can mix with the State-Run enterprises that<i>do</i>work, in order to provide more revenue."" This was the weakest point of his debating positions, due to the existence of 'deadweight loss'. ""And, yes, I'm aware of the fact that private enterprise doesn't want to pay taxes, that taxation is inefficient and causes inefficiency except in cases of negative externalities. But, I say that as long as there is profit, as long as there are products that only the Philippines can offer, that there will always be people willing to pay the 'deadweight loss', because there are comparative advantages in the Islands.""<br/><br/>""But enough of that,"" he spoke, ""the fact of the matter is that our economy is bleeding itself out, that our people need jobs and money in addition to health, and that we have forgotten, and are in the process of, forgetting our past as<i>both</i>Eastern and Western. Our spirit, unique in all the world, is being lost in imitating others, our cities are losing their souls. We have forgotten our music, our literature, our art. Who knows now of Juan Luna's art, of Jose Rizal's novels?"" An exaggeration as regards the latter; they were still well-known. ""Who knows of our native dances and festivals? I do not oppose Chinese Culture, per se. What I oppose is the insistence of the ruling party in<i>replacing</i>our own with it, instead of<i>mixing</i>it with what we have now...""<br/><br/>""You claim to follow Chairman Hou, yet have forgotten his statements on other cultures! In your eagerness to repay your debt to our protectors, you forgot that our protectors outright stated:""<br/><br/>""China mustn't seek to eliminate all race and culture in it to make a mono-toned landscape. It must bridge the barriers like man bridges river, lake, and ocean to make connections. China should remain colorfull, by extent the world. But the people within need to look to their neighbor and not feel hate or fear, but love and compassion. This is my goal: to bridge those social and racial gaps and both preserve our identity and history, but create strong and everlasting love.""<br/><br/>""People have forgotten this in their race to repay their debt, people have forgotten what our protectors have set out to do. And what is forgotten, must be remembered!""<br/><br/>And here was where Carlos Cortez held the audience. His love for Philippine Art and Culture was sincere, and that sincerity showed. It also helped that while Ramon Cristobal wore a western-style suit, Carlos wore a native Barong Tagalog. Either way, the fact was that Carlos, whenever he went on this tangent, won the debates."

To his right a small man wearing a baseball cap, a black bandanna, and sunglasses carried a shotgun and fired it into the air. The half dozen people queued in the three teller lines yelled in shock. The masked man in the middle waved a pistol in the air as he approached the customers and the teller window.<br/><br/>""This is a fucking robbery, everyone acts cool and nobody gets hurt. Now, get on the fucking ground!""<br/><br/>The short man with the shotgun kept it on the bank patrons as they sprawled on the marble floor. The leader and the third gunman, a man with a sawed-off shotgun and a satchel around his shoulder, leaped over the teller's desk and the small glass partition separating them from the lobby. While the pistol-packing robber rounded up the teller's and got them on the floor, the robber with the satchel quickly rushed into the bank vault behind the teller's desks. The large vault's stainless steel door gleamed in the florescent lights that hung overhead. The masked robber reached into his satchel and coupled a device to the vault's lock. The mess of motherboard and wires were connected to a small quantity of plastic explosives. With gloved hands, the robber connected the device and ran out the room.<br/><br/>A violent explosion that rattled the bank followed a few seconds later. The shaking of the foundation wouldn't go unnoticed in the area. The three bankrobbers shared looks before the satchel man rushed back inside. The bomb had destroyed the locking mechanism of the vault, allowing him to turn the wheel that opened it with ease. Inside his satchel, he pulled three folded up canvas gym bags and went inside the vault. A minute later, he was out with the three bags and his satchel loaded down with American Greenbacks. Thirty seconds after that, the three bankrobbers were running out the door to a waiting car double-parked outside the bank. They jumped in and the masked driver sped off just as the distant sounds of sirens became audible.<br/><br/>""Fuck yes!"" Alex cried from the front passenger as he took off his mask. ""We did it!""<br/><br/>Arthur and Joanna took their masks off and looked at each other, beaming and high on adrenaline. From the front seat, Alex looked through the gym bag he had and counted off stacks of twenty, fifty, and one hundred dollar bills. He lost count after ten thousand and had to start over again.<br/><br/><b>Natchez, Mississippi</b><br/><br/>""It's been a long time coming,"" the protesters sang in harmony with each other. ""But we know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will.""<br/><br/>There were twenty of them in all. Twenty black men and women dressed in their Sunday best, standing in front of the Adams County courthouse singing and carrying signs that read things like ""Time for a Change"" and ""Jim Crow has Got to Go."" They sweltered under the intense Mississippi sun, but they stayed steadfast and determined to protest. Today marked their fifth day occupying the courthouse's front lawn.<br/><br/>From across the street, James Calhoun watched from underneath the shade of a tree. He took a break from farm work to come down and watch. His daughter, Sarah, was among those protesting. She occasionally glanced over in his direction while he watched. James could see the disappointment in her face each time she looked his way. Sarah hadn't spoken to him since they started the protests here. She didn't say it, but she expected him to join in since his voting registration rejection is what started the whole mess.<br/><br/>Sarah was passionate, but she was young. She didn't realize all that their family had to lose. The man who owned the mortgage to their farm was white, as was the man who ran the feed and seed store in town that James had to buy his farming supplies from. It was good and all to take a stand... but he could not risk all he had for something so silly as... as... what, exactly? The right to vote, the right to actually go into a bathroom that wasn't just a shit bucket next to a water hose? The right to be treated like a person? Was that worth giving up all he had?<br/><br/>Sirens filled the air. A pair of Natchez PD cars drove up the street and stopped in front of the courthouse. James balled his hands up when he saw the four police officers get out of the cars. This was the fifth day of the protest, but not the first run in with the local law. The twenty left to protest had started out as forty, those numbers had been whittled down every day by the Natchez police that drug off as many of the protesters as they could, throwing them in the jail overnight for ""disturbing the peace."" Sarah herself had been arrested on the second day, James and Whitney raced to the jail to get her out only to be met by the Ethiopian who said her bail had been paid by sympathetic people with money. James didn't know what to make of that, but he accepted it and tried to talk some sense in Sarah, but she ignored him and was right back here.<br/><br/>""Alright, y'all know the drill,"" Wilbur Graves, the fat and elderly chief of police announced to the group. ""I know y'all ain't bright people, but I figured you'd goddamn learn by now.""<br/><br/>""I go to the movies and I go downtown,"" they kept singing in defiance. ""Somebody keep telling me don't hang around. It's been a long time coming, but a change gonna come.""<br/><br/>Isaiah Wolde, the man they called the Ethiopian, came to the forefront and stared at the police chief through his glasses.<br/><br/>""I tell you once more that this is a peaceful protest, chief. We have committed no crime, and this right of peaceful assembly is part of our constitutional rights.""<br/><br/>Graves hawked and spat on the grass in front of Wolde's feet.<br/><br/>""That's what I think of that, boy. Now, round 'em up!""<br/><br/>The police went to work, arresting the protesters. For their part, the men and women quietly went along with the police, singing still as they went.<br/><br/>""It's been a long time coming, but a change is gonna come.""<br/><br/>James tensed up when he saw one of the young police officers accost Sarah. She was led to a police car and frisked. James felt his blood starting to boil when he saw the man getting too familiar with his daughter. From across the street, he saw Wolde's eyes lock with his while the singing continued.<br/><br/>Then I go to my brother, and I say brother help me please. But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees.""<br/><br/>In a sudden rush, James found himself across the street and knocking the police officer away from Sarah. She yelled while confusion broke out in the crowd. The man he pushed snarled at him and produced a billy club. The bat pulled the air from James' lungs when it struck him in the chest. He spat blood when it hit him in the mouth, and fell to the ground when the club took out his knees.<br/><br/>""But I know a change is gonna come,"" was the last thing he heard before the club connected with his head and knocked him unconscious."

But, he already developed an idea for the countryside: a system of<i>contract responsibility</i>during which farmers would be allowed to work their piece of land for profit in exchange for deliviering a fixed, small percentage of their goods to the collective. Not merely that, but free farmer's markets would be set up in the cities, allowing the farming families to sell their produce. Not merely that, but several families will now be allowed to devote their efforts to producing a scarce commodity or service on a profit-making basis.<br/><br/>Not merely that, but special microfinance programs will be set up in order to allow and encourage farmers to set up additional enterprises, while in the cities, cheap books of vouchers, each representing a portion of shares in the state-owned enterprises of Tabaclera and San Miguel, would be sold or freely given to the civilian populace. Of course, it'll take months to set up that policy's implementation, but that can wait. At the same time, however, Government control of the Mining Industry must be strengthened, and, while Shipping would also be partly privatized, Government must maintain at least a 50% share. Even then, the State-owned units would only give part of their profits to the administration, while reserving most of the money for themselves...and the workers.<br/><br/>Independent cobblers, tailors, tinkers, and vendors used to be a sight in the cities, and, quite frankly, they would be a sight again here, if Carlos can help it. Of course, he mused, he would also have to give the new enterprises the right to hire and fire, while at the same time making sure that corruption in the unemployment benefits system was clamped down upon; some people would say that such corruption proved that unemployment benefits were bad as a whole, but Carlos knew better: all large organizations, including social services, were prone to corruption, and social services should not be singled out for attacks because of things that happen to all large departments. Anyway, enough editorializing, time for more work.<br/><br/>In the cultural sphere, would be plans for the creation of a Cultural Centre of the Philippines, built on a Western Model influenced by Native designs, as well as two new Churches, the Cathedral Filipinas for the Catholic Majority, and a smaller structure for the small, but growing Iglesia Filipina Independente minority, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Balintawak. Carlos himself was a lapsed Catholic with IFI sympathies, and while he disagreed with many, many, of the tenets of 'mainstream' Christianity, he saw the religious past of the country, the Hispanic Church that was<i>Filipinized</i>by the people it was supposed to convert, as a strength. The Philippines was both East and West, and was beautiful because of it; the past regime had failed to implement Houist policies of cultural protection well; he was going to break the trend.<br/><br/>And, finally, the cause most dear to him: the decoupling of the state from issues of Mental Health. This was the most controversial, but when asked why he took such a position, all Carlos would say, to anyone, was:<br/><br/>""I had a sister. She was autistic. She died in a facility."" Three curt sentences that were enough to silence anyone who challenged him on that. Of course, when asked the opposite, why he supported state healthcare despite the tragedy that had befallen his family, he would say.<br/><br/>""I had penumonia. The state hospitals saved my life."" More curt sentences, a far cry away from his impassioned oratory, but still effective in swaying people. It was clear that, as regards matters involving his family and himself, Carlos Cortes was a recitent, even snappish, man."

The passing sound of trucks and light motor traffic flowed overhead. The horn of a passing train sounded, and the over-head bridge rattled as it came screaming down the tracks for the heart of Hong Kong island. The long tail of carriages and freight boxes curing down along the slow gentle incline of the ramp as a dissipating whip of coal smoke blew off into the wind.

“See, what did I tell you?” laughed Pui Tui, nudging Cong in the side with one elbow as he lay the bag of winnings on the hood of his truck. The blue tarp pulled over its bed to hide the engine slicked down with rain and traces of goopy mud.

With an enthusiastic laugh he tore open the bag, opening up to show him and Feng the wild wads of bright red Yen. He clapped happily, grinning snidely as he stepped aside to allow his two young friends to look.

“Oh look, you can buy me a pretty dress.” Feng said teasingly.

“Oh I could, but I know you'll just give it to your girlfriend.”

“I know. But she'll love it all the same. She'll think I managed to pull it off!” she smiled.

“Tui.” Cong said nervously, “How do you plan to use this money?” he asked, “Because, you know, it's not like the authorities will want to know if something changes.” The scrawny stick-figure of a boy rubbed the back of his head, bumbling as he tried to put his concerns to word, but coming up speechless in many ways.

“Oh? What do you mean? Can I not use this to buy a little bit more lettuce than I could before?” Tui asked, if a bit offended.

“Oh I'm sure you can.” Cong replied, his shoulders sinking. His entire body still felt like it was shaking from the race. He hadn't settled down, even after he tore passed the finishing line with the rest so far behind there was no point to contest it. He still felt like he was going to fly out the cabin of the truck on one of the many sharp hill-side turns. He still felt everything, and it made a mess of him. He struggled to find words, pausing and restarting again.

“S-sure you can.” he blabbered, “But the- uh... The uh stamps. They're set up because the Ministry knows you make only so much. It's a supplement. Whatever my parents don't use they can send back and we're credited. I – uh- I, imagine they'll get curious if half a damn coupon book goes back to the Hong Kong office.

“An- and I wouldn't want to get involved with the Bureau.” he said, exasperated, “If they find out you're involved in gambling now, you'll be locked away. Sh-shit. We were there, Tui!”

“Cong makes a good point.” Feng shrugged, if rather dismissive.

“You saying they'll find my money?” Cong cackled nervously, holding up the bag.

“I mean, probably. Yea. Maybe. Certainly will.” Tui stammered.

“Maybe at worse though they'll challenge you to tell them where you got it.” Feng said quietly. “Maybe they'll let you go then. It's what happens in the radio dramas.” she said, looking to the mainland.

The narrows between them and mainland China glistened in the afternoon sun as the waves beat against the concrete seawall, so low that a good lap managed to spill out onto the concrete, already wet with rain.

“Damn it, I raced hard for this. I don't want to loose it!” Tui pleaded, it finally dawning on him how much more he'd need to bend to keep it. “Here, you take it!” he demanded, thrusting it out on Cong.

“N-no no no!” the scrawny kid said, holding up his hands. “My parents are more observant than the government, I can promise you that. If they find out I got a sack of cash in any of the closets they'll have questions!”

He turned to Feng, urgently holding out the money. “Hey, no.” she said calmly, “I may have a luxury of a private bedroom the size of a broom closet but that still doesn't stop me having a little step-brother who likes to 'clean it up' and wear my bras on his head because he claims it makes his ears warm.”

“So you're saying you can't?”

“I won't. I don't want to know where he'll stuff the money.”

“Then what am I going to do with it!?” he pleaded, his heart racing.

“I don't know, you're the one driving the truck with the stolen military-grade engine. You tell me.” Feng proposed.

“B- no. This is different!” yelled Tui, “I think...”

“Then why not bury it in the backyard?” Feng asked.

Cong nodded, “I think she's right. At least until we – or you – can figure out to do.

“There's got to be a loophole.” he added.

“Yeah. All that needs to be done is to find it before someone plugs it.” Feng laughed.

“Bury it...” Tui said, nodding, “Right. I can do that. Right behind the hogs.” he closed up the bag, “I'll keep it in the car until tonight, and I'll do it then.”

“Sounds good.” Feng and Cong agreed.

“Sounds good.” Tui echoed.



**Train to Urumqi, South-west China**


A meandering range of mountains and high jaunting hills spanned out across the landscape outside the train cabin. Groves and forests of bamboo hugged clustered meadows and farm fields. A red-train streaked across the landscape, following the outer-most foothills of the Himalayas, which rose as murky, faint ghosts on the distant horizon, the higher foothills barely indistinguishable from the frosty clouds and cool haze of a mid spring sky. Villages would peel into view only to disappear gradual as the train clacked and clattered by.

“So what's on the minds of the Uighur?” Auyi asked, arms resting on the table in front of him. A cup of tea rested on a simple tin tray. The dark liquid swayed and lapped up the high ceramic walls of the glass as the train moved along.

“Well of distinct up-front importance is the autonomy zone.” Shanxi Wu said, waving his hand dismissively, “This much is known of you so far so I imagine anything said about it would important symbolically, though all the same we shouldn't treat it lightly. Anything said in support of it should be nice and heavy.”

“Yes, but I think we can expect that.” Auyi replied, scratching his chin. His eyes wandered to the window, watching yellow fields fly past.

“I would push some sort of economic development.” Bathukhan said, he sat alongside Wu. A Mexican newspaper opened in front of him and a translation book by its side. Scribbling notes mired the margins and between the lines of words as the congressman busied himself with interpreting foreign word.

“It's generic, I know.” he shrugged, “But to broader constituencies such as they it's something to take into account. Especially if we're counting on ourselves to appeal to them.”

“I agree.” Wu nodded, “And western China as a whole has been lagging behind. It's almost the untamed backyard of China. If you can promise more than military installations and one or two more rail-stations we'll be in the lead.

“The Uighur local councils should fill you in on some of the local demands of the populations there. But don't forget we've been moving Han into the area so I wouldn't ignore them, lest we alienate our own kin.”

“I know that much, who'd be our campaign targets?” Auyi asked.

“You can do a brief tour of Xianjang, which will get me time to book something in a few areas short notice. But we'll get in for a presentation at the commune chambers in Urumqi. We can make some polite bows to the rural folk on a brief tour.”

“Shake hands, as they'd say in America.” Bathukhan smiled, turning back to the Spanish newspaper.

“And here we have Bathukhan, the diligent foreign affairs specialist.” Auyi teased.

“Man needs a hobby.” he said gently.

Wu's eyes lit up at the topic. Quickly he straightened his back and said startled: “On that I do need to advise you you'll need to make a more defined stand on foreign policy. Xhang Zu is punching into that pretty hard lately.

“He's really sort of emphasizing a strong Chinese presence in foreign affairs. It's divided, of course. But NPN public opinion surveys suggest that the voting population is however leaning to Chinese presence. The Third International has been seen as a good thing in exposing China to 'healthy ideas' from outside. And it's given us a bit of a international standing.

“I'd hazard to say that we as a people are getting tired of being sleepy. But given ratings on the War in Africa we're still on a pretty narrow scope. We could defeat Zhu there if we emphasize Chinese involvement, but not so far as Africa; though it'll be worth mentioning, but not stressed. Russia is more important and how we define ourselves in the Comintern.”

“'Public Oppinion' though,” Bathukhan said in a low crooning voice, “Is only the opinion of parties interested in publishing it.

“To be honest Auyi while I will agree to a degree with you campaign manager I'm going to profess acting purely on NPN polling is not the best option. It's only telling us what the portion of the population that's voting is interested it currently. And the number of people who have expressed interest is only fifteen percent.

“I've read the numbers too.” Bathukhan smiled, turning to the infuriated Wu, “So we can't lean on it too much. Take advice, but not make it the only thing.

“We have a whole 85% of the eligible population to consider. Auyi, if we want to win and if everyone's using the same data we should make up our own data. Get in a few percent more of the eligible population to vote at all. Even if it's a one-time thing.”

“Is this topical for Xianjang?” Wu asked, voice groaning as he massaged his broad fore-head.

“Hardly, but it's a long ride from here to the land of the Uighur, so I don't see any reason why not. You can drawl on all you want about them, but with the time we got I'm sure you can cover the topic five-times over.”

The discussion was broken as from across the cabin a door opened. Closing with a crack as the wooden  door snapped back into the frame. The eyes of the men turned up to who had entered their cabin, which had been otherwise empty save for them.

“Daddy!” a young boy yelled out, a large grin on his face as he ran towards his father. A large silk tunic dragging behind him through the air as he thundered forward, a small wooden train held firmly in his small hands.

“Jie!” Auyi smiled, “How was the engine?” the minister asked, sliding over as the young boy threw himself up onto the seat alongside him. Close behind the boy, the tall smooth eloquence of Auyi's wife, Bao Yu.

She smiled gently at her husband as she stepped behind Jie, gently helping the young boy up with long gentle fingers. Jie mumbled something, as if trying to decline his mother's help. But she didn't back away, and pulled her son up to the seat from his shoulders.

At only four his head hardly came up above the wooden table between the coach seats. Powerful almond eyes looked out from under a bowl cut of oil back hair. Staring along the matte wood to Bathukhan and Wu. He betrayed no sense of fear, or welcome. His passion to them a sort of neutrality with no feelings to either man in any way. They were people his Dad knew, and nothing more.

Bao Yu was by many means still a elegant woman. Though she had lost much of the youthful beauty and pride she once had when she gave birth to her and Auyi's son. But to her husband it made her all the more wonderful, and the two exchange a smile as they looked up at each other. Her hair shone in the warm light of the train cabin as they thundered down the tracks.

“How was the engine?” Bathukhan asked, lowering his paper. Jie seemed more interested in the foreign, latin symbols that cluttered the paper. They were far different than what he was used to seeing on what his father read.

“It was great.” Yu said for her son. “We got to see where they load the engines and he got to sit in the conductor's seat for a little. Wasn't that fun?” she asked turning to her son. Her voice tuning to the playful notes one adopts between child and parent.

“Yeah!” he said quietly, smiling.

“Well I'll be, sounds like we have the future Ministry of Industry.” Bathukhan joked, smiling wide, “First trucks, now trains.

“They grow up fast Auyi. I warn you.” he added in warning, “Don't let these past four years fool you. And going in for Grand Secretary: you'll only give yourself a heart-attack faster and harder when you realize you're missing a ton.”

“Thanks, but I'm sure I've been told a hundred times by the other parents.” laughed Auyi, “So I'm hungry, anyone up for seeing if we can get anything to eat?”

“I'll just go for noodles.” said Wu, looking at Auyi's son with a prying inquisitive look on his face. His fingers scratching his chin as he planned.


**Headquarters of the IB, Beijing**


A dark room, lit only by an array of lights. In front of which hung a menagerie of enlarged photographs. Photos though not of landscapes. Or of people. Or even landmarks and objects. Photos that looked to have been taken by a hawk itself, peering down on the landscape below with a sharpened eye to scour the Earth below for a mouse.

The details of the blown up photographs lost themselves in fuzzy granulates that dotted the image irregularly, creating an organic mesh that comprised the entire black-and-white earthscape. Scapes – as blotchy as they were – shone clearly. Even more clearly back-lit by pounding halogen lights that bled through the photopaper, bringing out the details with no shadows to interfere.

Huddled before the backlit photos, agents in black coats and suits pried deep into the contents. Going through and counting details. Often in teams of two. Their library running the entire length of the room they called their office, wrapping around the walls on hemp chords, strung up with simply clothes pegs.

“What are the details on the naval count?” someone called in the room.

Presiding was their commander, the dragon head of the Bureau; Yan Sing. His pale face contrasting against his darkened suit as he stood in the room's heart. Watching greedily as his men went over the newly developed pictures. A cigarette hung between long bony fingers as he looked out from skeleton eyes.

“We're counting roughly fifty confirmed vessels.” said an agent, “Backed up against the Suez.”

“Fifty?” someone asked, “What class?”

“One confirmed aircraft carrier. We possibly have fifteen or sixteen vessels matching possible standards to destroyers. Likewise: 22 that may be cruisers, maybe anti-air; maybe anti-submarine.”

“What use does the Spanish have with anti-submersibles if Ethiopia has no submarines?”

“They could suspect we sold some to them.” shouted another analyst, “We did sell them a few ships.”

“All the same, twenty-two seems to many for sub-hunting.”

“La Vanguardia, don't forget. We forced them out of a war by sinking one ship.” said another, laughing. Sing turned about, frowning as he turned his cigarette in his fingers.

“What else is there.” he said, his voice cracking.

“Five others, they don't necessarily look like their combat vessels. Perhaps logistics transports. I'm not finding indication of guns. They may also have a smattering of small shit, but I can't tell from the distance these things fly at.”

“Anything on land?” Sing shouted.

“A complete mess.” one of his agents replied, “We may have found the Ethiopian defensive line, but it's scattered and weak. We could be looking at a complete withdrawal to Addis Abada in a month at the best.”

“Can we get a manpower estimate?” Sing asked.

“Without knowing the exact size of these unknowns I'd say we're looking at an invasion force of twenty or thirty thousand. Maybe if they use every sailor. But this could be an under-estimate.”

“Glorious.” Sing scoffed, drawing on his cigarette as he glowered at the photos, “Finish up the reports and get them en'route to the Ethiopian embassy. Take a break. But not too long, I expect the next batches will come in tomorrow. This wing is no doubt finishing up refueling and resting to go out again shortly.

“Spanish territory then, comrades. We'll be well acquainted with every fucking rock.”


**Omsk, Russia**


The echoes of gunfire rolled along through the streets. In the dusty mists of morning it was hard to tell if what was being had was near or far. The fog obscured the sounds as much as it did the sight. It made prowling the streets unnerving. Even as big a piece of steel as a tank, the limited visual clarity was by no means a charity.

Through the narrow portholes in front and alongside him, Tsung could barely make out the soldiers patrolling alongside them. Their silouhettes a mere ghost in the milky soup that surrounded them. Even ahead it was hard to make out man from street hazard. Let alone buildings up ahead.

“Hell, I can't see shit.” Lin shouted, pulling herself up into the turret. Song as it would seem just barely tolerated her, leaning over in his seat to give the spry, vulgar woman room to look.

“It is a terrible day.” Song commented, hanging his voice low as he leaned into the window, “But we must do what we got to do.”

“I highly doubt the Russians are going to be moving in this. We have to be the insane ones here!” Lin sneered.

“Settle down, Lin.” Hui grumbled, “At least they won't be able to hit us in this.”

“What if we fire our gun though?” Tsung asked.

“Then oh well.” Hui muttered, “Our bullets can explode. Theirs can't. In the end of the day if we don't kill them we may as well chew them up with shrapnel and we stay cozy. Can't speak for the bastards on our sides, but fuck them, they're not tankers.”

“Hui, if I didn't know better I'd say you sound bored.” Song smiled.

“That I am.”

“Well you could walk outside then, I think it'll be an enlightening experience at the least.”

“No thank you sir, I'd rather my ass go numb here.” he groaned.

“Don't want to smoke then?” Lin asked.

“It can wait until we're safe and we're not surrounded by enough explosives to crater this street.”

“The shells aren't live until their noses collapse. You know that as well as I do, Hui!” Lin laughed, dropping down from the turret to lean alongside the breech of the main gun. “You could probably drop a match in here and nothing would happen.”

“And there's a god-damn reason they told us to not smoke in here.” he grumbled.

“Pah, engineers don't know shit.”

“The, uh. Diesal fumes?” Tsung said.

“If the two of you are this bored to fight about menial shit the two of you will take a walk outside.” Song snapped. His sharp orderly words goaded the two, and they fell quiet.

“You can bring reading next time you want to sight see and the weather's not permitting.” Song offered as the hull went quiet, “But enough is enough for fuck's sake. If we loop the block and nothing happens then so be it.”

The hull cabin fell silent again, with only the muted sound of the slowly turning engine to fill the ears. The Tei Gui continued to press through the heavy mist. Turning around piles of ruble and debris. The body of the cabin rocked as they drove through cratered roads and over large debris.

“Would have been nice if it were clear.” Lin mumbled under her breath.

“Don't start anything.” Sun Song scolded as they went.

The rest of the mission could have gone this way. Silently, without anything happening. Or with only the dimmest expectation of the Republicans moving on them. It probably would have been more agreeable if they had, and to settle the stomach of Tsung.

But none of that came. The course of the patrol shifted in a different direction. From outside muffled shouts echoed through the mist and leaked through the steel plates of the tank hull. A shocked excitement that pulled the silhouettes of the riflemen away from the tank side and ahead into the mist. And even perking the interest of the commander, or leaned up closer to the turret windows. Tsung squinted through the thick soupy fog, trying to find what was going on.

“What is it?” Lin said, “What's going on?” she asked, picking herself up excitedly to peer out the windows.

“Something's going on?” Hui asked, “I don't hear anyone shooting at us.”

“No, it's not that, they're running to something. Tsung, keep up with them. Lin, I want you at the ready in the event we need to provide cover.”

“Yes, comrade.” they both said.

The engines revved as Tsung coaxed the machine to pick up its pace. The engines coming to the familiar rattle as the soft tremors that washed through the steel hull grew in their violence. Tsung pressed his nose up against the hatch's frame as he drove after the darting patrol.

“I see them up ahead.” Song called out from the turret.

“It looks like they found something.” Lin added alongside her commander, pulling herself up by his shoulder.

“Well, what is it?” Hui shouted from below, “It's not like I can see.”

“It looks like...” Tsung started, squinting through the thick Russian mist, “A body?”

“Really?” Lin said.

“Sir, can I open the hatch and look?” Tsung asked. A part of his whined against it. If it were a corpse, would he really need to look. From outside someone shouted for a medic and there was a nervous jump in his heart. Was it one of their men.

Sighing Song waved his hand dismissively, “Sure, go ahead. No one's shot at us yet.”

Tsung nodded, hesitantly reaching for the latch above him. Lin peeled back the main hatch as he opened his own.

Laying in the street before them, surrounded by a morbidly curious halo of soldiers lay the corpse of a man dressed in the Republic uniform. His arms and legs bent horrifically he lay sprawled in the middle of the street, a wooden sign tied to a badly charred neck. Broad sweeping Russian had been painted across the plague of wood on his chest as empty eyes stared out into the abyss of death.

Tsung's stomach turned sickeningly. He felt his shoulder weaken and his elbows trembled. The mixed patrol of Chinese and Siberian troops ambled about the battered corpse. “For fuck's sake I think the last time this poor shit needs is a medic.” a Russian announced in a tired voice, “He's so burned I can't tell if he's dog or chimp.”

It was an observation that Song probably didn't want to hear. The mangled and melted flesh of the soldier laying there was so badly charred and torn that it was indistinguishable from pulp. A broken mouth hung open in a pained scream. Eyes gouged – or melted – out. And nose cleanly missing.

“What's the sign say?” someone said.

“Communist Sympathizer.” the Siberian read, kicking the rump of the corpse there.



**Southern Urals**

The radio popped and sprayed static, dead silent. Ullanhu sat by the window of the small safe house given to he and Jun. The sunlight had faded, giving way to nightfall. The wilderness outside hung in a low darkness, the depth of which exaggerated to an inky, oily soup from the lights inside. There wasn't much to do, and the Mongol was already feeling it'd be time to lay down to sleep. There wouldn't be any new messages. There hadn't even been one from the men who had hijacked Jun's coms to call back to him.

Just several hours ago the IB spy planes had managed to fly over head, establishing their brief contact with the agent and receiving his short brief before leaving. He'd have another week maybe before they came back around again. Perhaps longer, there was actual fighting in Omsk as far as he could tell.

He grumbled, leaning back in the stiff armchair, resting his cheek on his hands. He stared blankly at the radio, hoping and wishing for something to happen. Something to change the monotony of waiting. At most he hoped for paperwork, something to exhaust his time with. But he had read everything he had gotten his hands on, and his gun was far beyond clean. General Makulov it seemed had no use for him. And no inclination to act on the sudden communications he had gotten that evening.

But now nothing was being acted on in regards to that he was actually doubting, like the general, anything would happen.

Russia had become boring. And there was no Jun to debrief, so no story told by him. No matter how dry and void of attachment he had to his job. Something that was perhaps for the best, many agents seemed to have that; at least those in his exact line.

Beside him the window rattled in its frame. He looked over. Probably just the wind, he thought. He stood up stretching, and walked to the other side of the room. His boots drummed against the unstained wood floor, his hands brushing alongside the cramped furniture as he wound to a side room. Little more than an empty space with two mattresses in opposite corners.

He shuffled about the room, laying things out for the next morning. Outside he heard the sound of snapping twigs. He only looked up passingly. Most likely animals. It wasn't unlikely, this shack was little more than a shed and isolated from the rest of the village.

Standing alongside his tattered uneven mattress he went about taking his outer uniform off. One by one, opening the buttons. The heavy dark cotton opening off his shoulders and loosening until he pulled it off. He knelt down as he folded the coat, tucking in the sleeves and straightening the buttons. Preparing it as he was taught. As he was drilled.

As he set it aside he stopped to wonder. The night felt quiet. Too much so. Still and tense. As if it were waiting. He could hear noises through the walls. Soft sharp cracking and scraping. Like something was lurking outside. He wondered though, was it as close to the shack as he suspected?

The sound of the grass bustled just outside the walls. Just on the other side of the curtained window in the tiny room. He wondered if it were animals, or something. But the confirmation came far too quick.

At the snap of fingers the night time stillness erupted into a storm of thunder. An immense wave of shuddering and explosive shots rocked the night. Punching the stillness with sharp needle like precision, then ripping open to mushroom out. Ulanhu jumped in shock, throwing himself against the far wall and kicking at the musty tattered carpet on the floor. With a shocked jump he threw aside the mattress as gunpowder rippled outside his window like a chain of firecrackers.

Glass exploded and the ceiling ripped open as machine gun spray tore the wood and plaster above into shreds. Crystal shards of glass rained on the floor as Ulanhu scrambled through the door into the main room, diving for the gun on the table. The cold sharp cut of glass slid against exposed skin as he grabbed the gun and slid his palm through the fine dusting of broken glass that had rained onto the table from the window next to it.

Ulanhu felt with shuddering breath the hot stream of gunfire running across the nape of his neck. He screamed out in shock, his voice muted from the fury of the weapon's fire. Somewhere off distantly he could hear shocked angry shouts.

He hit the floor with a thud and rolled up with his hands over his head. His breath shuddered as he drew himself tight. The light dance of powder falling in on him as a full fire-fight exploded in the country night.

There was a loud buffeting 'thump' as somewhere outside a grenade exploded. Or a mortar. Rifle fire mingled in with machine gun to pound the air like rain on a metal roof. It was furious, and the most terrifying thing Ulanhu had witnessed.

Before he had merely received the briefings of such events. Or overlooked the investigation of similar affairs through pictures and writing. But he had not once imagined himself in the middle of it. Before Jun, he had not been in a combat roll. He was the meet guy. He was the guy that did the papers. Analyzed the intelligence to build the facts.

His training did so much, but he felt it drop from his self as all at once the world exploded around him.

And then at once, as quick as it had begun it stopped. The fire closest to him dulled out to nothing. The response from the village above continued, pursuing their attackers into silence. He could hear the orders barked. He heard an engine.

He shook himself out. He was visibly pale, and felt it. His body felt numb, but burned at the same time. He could see clear, yet it was like he was in a haze. He was too shocked to analyze things right and to take them in as the front door to his shack opened up, letting in a scrawny Russian; a large field-green coat on his shoulders.

“Comrade, comrade!” he barked, “Get your gear, we're extracting you!”

He talked without hesitation. He was sure of himself as he was startled. And Ulanhu. But the Mongol couldn't move himself fast, he gawked at the young man in his door, rifle held tight between hands burning white.

“Come on! Come on! You can't stay, tovarich!”

“Stay... Right...” Ulanhu mumbled. Shuffling. His entire world felt numb. The nickel-plated revolver in his hands felt limp and disconnected from himself.

“A- uhh... Radio.” he said meekly, shuffling to the counter.

The radio was a large pack beast. Cased over in metal, it looked to have taken hits. But the heavy tents in its carapace wasn't anything to threaten it. They were artificial. But he'd need to check. Need to check...

It was perhaps the only thing with weight as he hoisted it up by its straps onto his shoulders. It was the only thing with value he thought he had. Would need to make a call. Maybe patrols would be soon. Agent position attacked.

“We go to village.” the Russian said, nodding impatiently as he lead Ulanhu out. “There is no way we can have you out here.”

“Who was it?” Ulanhu asked. His voice sounded distant and drowned. His ears rung.

“I don't know.” his companion said, “Ghosts, maybe. We're looking now.”

The weight of the radio bore heavily down on his shoulders as he staggered towards the door, shoulders slouched. The Russian turned and lead him out into the cool air of the Siberian night. Ulanhu ran out with his head bowed into the misty blackness of midnight. The oily darkness now illuminated by the hundreds of flashlights of Makulov's men as they scanned the grass and brushes.



**Perm**


The gaping halls of the old house sung low and gently swinging with the easy tandem swing of an old Waltz. Soft with static, it echoed on the finished wood walls and large fading pictures of well dressed men and officers of all shapes and sizes. Furniture made of a deep bloody wood stood guard along the walls, providing a clear opening through the throat of the beast. The home was like a temple. The hall a long march to the throne room as the granular popping of a phonograph beckoned with trumpets to the rider who had just entered.

Jun Shaoquan's body felt heavy. In his own skin he felt odd. His breathing was heavy, and he coughed as he moved. Something had happened to him, but he was too numb to realize to what end. Without his pills he could feel no pain. Only the chaffing feel of his clothes against skin and the grinding in his lungs. But he had a mission to do. He'd find out how to do with his hands. Because either way he felt he would die.

And he had been invited, after all.

Jun walked on. His feet beating an off-time staccato rhythm against the thick crimson carpet. All the while the blank and disapproving stares of men who were probably dead glared at him as he passed by. As they stood guard at closed doors, or large bay windows peering into once oppulant rooms, now covered in a sea of sheets or looted to their bare bones. The entire inner-city estate bore the internal scars of a nation diving into a greater pit. There was no true wealth here any more. Not what was original. All of that had fled long ago, no doubt never to return.

Jun's thudding down the hall brought him to a door, from whence the sound of dance hall music was loudest. He propped an arm up against the warm rich wood and caught his breath. His wind rand rough between his lips. Licking his lips he took a deep sigh. Perhaps now. He reached for the curved serpentine handles of the door, and threw it open.

He stepped out into the heart of a massive vaulted room. Tiles of black and white marched across the floor to the far wall, where there were piles of discarded chairs and tables stacked underneath more white linens. Guilded hard-wood panels adorned the walls as they raced to the cathedral ceiling. A skylight opened to the sky above the room's centered; much of the glass had shattered.

And sitting under the glass canopy was a nightstand. A old phonograph sat on its surface, turning a black vinyl record of the classical European ballroom music. And two figures stood alongside, their enthusiasm for the music shifted up and over to the man who had just burst in. One of the figures he knew, the man in the black coat, a fraying and rotting horse head masking his own.

The other was tall and broad shouldered, with the face of an aristocrat. Well shaved. He looked over at Jun, and an enthusiastic smile immediately peeled across his face with a poisonous croon.

“We almost did not expect you to arrive.” the other man called out, waving his hand side to side with the dance of the song. He took wide casual strides across the ballroom floor, carrying a heavy air of confidence with each step from his dress shoes. A well ironed pair of dress pants flapped against his legs. A brown tweed vest hugged his chest and starch-white dress shirt. He was a classical man, from dress to short-cut hair, even a well groomed and cropped mustache rest atop his lip, curving at the ends like some bourgeoisie son from the turn of the century. He was in every way the sort of figure China honored itself in leveling down to their true status with the rest of man.

“I suppose you're here to kill me.” the figure smiled, laughing. His Chinese was polished and groomed, even for a Russian. Jun stood back, confused and taken with the demeanor of this figure, who treated him like any other acquaintance. Yet there was a noticeable coldness to him. It was an act, a cliché he knowingly assumed.

“He's a bastard, I'll tell you that much. Hard to kill.” Wraith boomed from alongside the phonograph. The other man was halfway between Jun and he now, still dancing his hands through the air as if conducting an orchestra.

“Do you know who I am?” the man laughed.

“I can guess.” Jun said.

“Then guess. Please. Humor me.”

“Gabriel?” guessed Jun.

“The left hand of God himself!” Gabriel roared loud,  rising his own to the sky, pointing enthusiastically and accusingly to the heavens. His other still and clenched at his side as his face tightened and he grit his teeth, “I am the man to doll out his punishment! I am the man who acts as his middle! I know much, my Chinese friend. And I know you are here to kill me on the invitation of a bastard heretic!”

“That sounds about right.” Jun grunted.

“It should be, it is my right and divine position to know these things.” Gabriel crooned, “I also have it on good word you're on the trail of someone else.”

Jun didn't respond. He watched Gabriel as he walked to the side, kicking the ground with the heels of his shoes. Head bowed he nodded, “Silence is the greatest confirmation.” he said, “Prior to the closing of this nation's chapter – and I'd say abroad even – failure to respond to any allegation was in itself the most direct confirmation. It was China's biggest weakness. Every theory or public musing to what it was doing was met with only one voice: absolute silence. The dragon was unresponsive. And so it did as we accused it of doing: war, political instability on the international scale, internal looting and pillaging of its finest ideological minds.

“You are but another swathe of China's great pattern of silent confirmation. How does that make you feel?”

Jun's silence remained. Too taken by the surreality of the moment. He looked over to the Mafiya enforcer called Wraith, who simply stood by idly watching the record spin. “What does it have to you?” he asked Gabriel.

“Much. Very much.” he laughed, “You see, a man is judged by his words and actions. Do you know a man who has not matched both?” he asked suddenly, stopping his pacing.

“No.” Jun replied. Gabriel nodded.

“Wraith!” Gabriel called out, “Go and get our other guest.” he demanded, prompting a sudden bout of activity from the silent other. The horse-headed ghoul nodded and turned aside, walking towards the corner of the room.

“There may not be a lot of things we like. There is much in fact we dislike.” Gabriel said. His voice lost much formality, and he became a low droning brute. No different than what Jun might expect from his lessers, or even a dealer within the walls of Kowloon's Walled City. “And there is just as much we hate. Crimes of which involve the vary disregard of the unspoken tenants of respect between peers. To not lie, to not cheat, and to not effectively seek to usurp anything higher. We have maintained order by knowing our places as they flow and drift, and stifling or rewarding those we see fit.

“It is not by the means of offices, where we grant known and regimented promotion. You know? No, ours is dulled out much more humanistically and equally. No privileges are traded. Only abstraction and fitting and equal measures.

“So tell me, what does one do disregards the tenants I listed before?”

Jun looked to him, to the corner. Where Wraith was pulling from the door a sickly and writhing man. His head shrouded by a heavy black hood. “I don't know.”

“Then you will be getting a lesson!” Gabriel smiled, his tone of voice taking on the same powerful inflection he had before. As if he were conducting a crowd.

“Then let me introduce you to the man you've been seeking.” he smiled, bowing as he stepped back. Reaching into his back pocket he produced a small thing razor.

“Introducing to the esteemed honor of the great orient we have here today, Alexi Igorovich Sanvinski!” Gabriel boomed in a theatrical voice, reaching out to the man and yanking off the hood, “Also known as: Verkhovaya Gospod!” he laughed.

Verkhovaya Gospod – Alexi – looked up at Gabriel with a wide panicked expression. He was wide built, with great sunken and beady eyes. He thrashed against the stern and heavy grip of his own enforcer as he tried to kick away from Gabriel. But the binds at his hands and feet did nothing as he whimpered.

“G-Get me out of here!” he screamed in panic. His Russian was heavy. And his fat lips quivered as Gabriel loomed over him, “Wraith, I order you!” he called. But his subordinate did nothing.

“There is little he can do.” Gabriel called out, smacking the bound lord across the face.

“Oriental!” Gabriel shouted to Jun, “This is the face of a true prime-evil and spiritual criminal!” he boasted, “A man who has used his power to lead his men on his own path, away from us. He who has failed to share or offer his strength to his brothers. He in doing it lead himself and others away on voluntary excommunication in defiance of Bog!

“He undervalued our own respect! Dishonored many in our ranks! And is in general: a cheat among thieves. Tell me, is there anyone more shameful?”

Jun looked at the three of them. “All of you.” he delivered flatly.

“Pah!” Gabriel called, “Liberals and Communists, they are one of the same. They reject human nature to suit their golden image!” he declared, taking Alexi from his partner's hands and holding his shuddering body in front of his, holding the razor against his throat, “But they only go for fool's gold. The true merit of man is his relationships with others, and his capability. And it is so good to remove for good the faithless from the world.”

Verkhovaya Gospod had barely enough time to shout out one last protest before the sharp edge of the blade cut through the throat. Peeling wide the skin like paper and releasing a gurgling fountain of blood onto the tiled floor. His eyes went wide in shock as he gagged and chocked in Gabriel'd grips. He shook and squirmed in his grip. But it was limp and dying. As his eyes rolled back into his head Gabriel released the corpse. It fell with a wet thump in a pool of its own blood, which was spreading across the rain-stained marble tiles.

“This is our power. We deal with our enemies as we please. We have elected to show strength without reservation.” he laughed, holding up the bloodied knife, “It is why we burn. It is why we crucify. And it is why we behead.”

“Tell me Jun, what do you want from me?”

Jun's heart beat excitedly in his chest. “I want your head.” he said, looking down at Alexi's bloodied corpse then up at Gabriel.

“A man with no reservations. And here I thought you'd say you want to bring me in.”

“I know people who want that. But not today.”

“Beautiful.” Gabriel smiled, holding aside the knife. “Take this brother, and leave us.” he added, holding out the knife to Wraith. He nodded and took the bloodied blade, and walked off.

Jun didn't know how to feel. He buzzed excited, ready for something. A knife, a gun. A battalion of armed men to storm through the doors and shoot at him. But so far the only weapon had been carried off. And as the doors on the far side of the room drew closed it had left the room entirely.

“Do you know why Bog has the Mafiya as it is now?” Gabriel asked, in a subdued voice as he walked to the center of the room. To the phonograph, still playing waltzes.

“Because there's no central government. No one to keep it down.”

Gabriel laughed, a twisted smile appearing on his face as he stroked the side of the phonograph player. “That is the blunt way of saying it.” he said whimsically, “Russia is weak, as you know. As everyone knows. It lost its prestige, its power, its money, and its strength the day the Tzar died. The day his heirs perished. We had not witnessed anything so absolute then as ever since the end of the Ruriks. We had institutionalized ourselves in them. But what happens when that power disappears and is assumed to have to go to the hands of middlemen or foreigners?

“Chaos. We were strong then, but also weak and fragile. As we found to universal horror on that day, January 13, 1971. Nine years without the czar. Can you believe that?”

Gabriel laughed as he turned to Jun, “And before this all happened, and well before we could conduct any meaningful succession you Communist and foreigner types started revolting across the nation. And I dare say I do not know where the hell Peter's body is.”

“What is this getting at?” Jun asked.

“We've tried to set Russia back on track. I will not say the Resurrection was not worth the shot, but it was terribly weak.” Gabriel continued, “Its leader – the Ressurector – had no real presence. He didn't have the long-reaching punch. But I will give credit to him, he did set the stage for us. And we came in quick. So did Bog.

“Bog. He is a man with a reach. A long-range punch and the knowledge and resources to get something done. Even if no one has seen him, he has his agents. He has men like me who go out and do it.

“My friend, I only only a finger on his left hand. And if I am shot down and cut off then I know there will be more who will take my place. There are many with the aptitude for this. They will be his knife. The carrier of his will.” he paused and turned, gently laying a hand down behind the record player, “He does send me with a message for you though, if you're interested.”

“Might as well hear it.”

“Simply put: you're a strong and capable person. He admires you, for what you have shown. He merely asks you denounce China and proclaim him aim your new mission.”

“He wants me to defect?”

“It would be a shame to have someone such as yourself killed.” Gabriel shrugged.

“I don't intend to, that's your answer.” Jun sneered, pacing around the side.

Gabriel looked up at him. His face burned with a fiery passion. An consuming anger washed over him. And he clearly reveled in it as a sharp glint shone off the knife he rose in his hands. “Then here's the response!” he cried, rising the knife by the point of its blade.

His hand rose and fell from behind his hand, releasing the knife with a solid swing arcing it through the air on a spin for Jun. This was the moment he wanted. The shine of the light off that blade was what made that last spring jump. He swept to the side, out of the knife's arc and slide across the floor, watching its diving spin to where it clattered on the floor behind him.

Keeping momentum he turned back to Gabriel, who had a new knife all is own. Holding it above his head he was already midway between him and the phonograph table. The long combat knife rose over him as he charged, yelling.

Jun met him midway. Breaking the sharp downward drop of the knife with his arm, pushing it aside as he rose his other hand to strike back. He was sure he'd catch him in the guy, but to his sudden shock Gabriel moved faster than he thought. Before he could connect his fist hammered across his face, dashing him against the ground. Interfering with the counter just enough for it to slide against the surface of the vest.

He fell sprawled against the floor. The enraged hit man standing above him, knife it hand. He gave a roaring cry like a lion. Pouncing down onto Jun. He thrust the blade for Jun's face. He rolled in time to hear the steel clash against the tile and for Gabriel to tumble into a roll. He shot up as he rolled to his side.

Gabriel spun to kick out his feet. Toppling the agent as he caught his ankles, sending him back to the floor. He sprung himself over Jun like a cat, sweeping the blade from the side. His teeth barred hungrily.

The agent's finger wrapped themselves tight around the angle's blade, wrestling with him as he fought to plunge it into Jun's left breast. He could feel the strength in the man's arms. It was wild and explosive. He pushed and pushed. Jun struggling to keep the hand away, and Gabriel off of him. He felt the blood drumming in his head. The explosive stuttering in his heart. The warmth of adrenaline coursing through his veins. This was his sort of moment.

Gabriel jerked to the side, and Jun felt his moment. Throwing his own weight to the side he threw him off. He rolled on the ground, giving the window he needed to stand up, and turn to his competitor.

Gabriel kicked himself up off the ground and faced Jun. The knife still in hand. “I like your style.” he crooned, raising the knife.

Jun kept calm, collecting himself as he righted his position. Holding out his hands, and  putting one foot behind the other.

“You know, the Wraith and I are one of the same.” he chuckled, circling Jun, “We both enjoy the fine art of the waltz, we hold ourselves as worldly men, and we were both military officers. But there's one thing we do not share.

“I've been in China. During your 'revolution'. I've felt this sort of thing. And it's been so long.

“And if you're not going to die easy, at least give me the satisfaction of letting me kill you with good memories!” he called, charging Jun. The knife again out over his head. He angled a shoulder out to him, coming in like a charging bull.

Jun dodged to the side, his shoes screeching against the slick surface of the old stone as he moved out of the way of the shoulder. He roped a fist past, connecting it with Gabriel's stomach. He bent over, folding at the connection. But the knife kept moving. With a solid meaty crack he dove in, carving into Jun's shoulder. He gritted reflexively. Raising an arm to the knife blade as Gabriel dragged down on it with his weight.

He reached out with a leg, kicking Gabriel across the chest. A sharp crack snapped in the hall, above the sound of the music. And Jun wrapped his hand around Gabriel's and wrested control of the knife from him. He staggered back onto the ground, falling with a thump as Jun staggered back, holding his hand to his shoulder, tugging at the blade. The steel and flesh that it met slurped wetly as it ground out through the tendons. A fresh stream of blood bled out through, staining his shirt. Yet, he felt no significant pain as it came free.

Gabriel rose to his feet, bent over as he held onto his ribs. His face hot with rage. He boiled red. “You're a fucking monster.” he cursed him.

Jun held his hand to the wound, fighting to stem the flow of blood as he took the knife with his other hand.

“You're going to bleed out before he even get out.” Gabriel laughed. The Russian nodded, taking steps back. He sized up Jun again, raising his fists, and he charged again.

The agent looked up just as he started. In seconds the weight of the Russian was against him, throwing him down on the ground. A fresh hot spray of sticky blood following suit. The knife that Jun had taken back lodged deep into Gabriel's gut. He fell hard and fast with Jun.

With a crack, they fell onto the floor."
22083,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-01-19 12:59:00,Vilageidiotx,"**Addis Ababa, Ethiopia**

Yaqob had been with his mother for nearly an hour, sitting in silence until dawn filled the pale palace room with cold blue light. She hadn't lived a hard life by the standard of the common person - she had spent her years living in palaces, eating well and wearing nice clothes. Survival had never been a question for her, but her life had been hard all the same. Because so little had been required of her, she had lived her life exclusively for her family, and when that family had suffered, she had nothing to distract her. When her husband was assassinated, and when her eldest son disappeared, and when her youngest son came close to death from another would-be assassin, she was helpless to do anything but to wallow in her grief. A grief she chose to combat, according to some rumors, with medication. Years of mental anguish had finally taken their toll. She was in her late fifties, and she was already senile.

She sat next to her son, at the edge of her bed. Her eyes wandered as she cycled between confusion and stress. She had experienced one lucid moment, much earlier, when it was still dark, where she cried for her son and the coming loss of her home. It had been a powerful moment, but it had been a short one. As her mind slipped back into it's usual senile fugue, Yaqob realized that he had seen his mother for the last time. The rest of their time together had been silent, and somber.

""_There is violence to that phrase, 'Ruined Life'. We always forget this._"" Yaqob heard the words of the old priest Zerihun repeating themselves in his mind. ""_When you hear a phrase enough, repeated and repeated and repeated, it loses its meaning. That is why young people forget the wisdom that is in the bible, and start to see the Sermon on the Mount as platitudes and rambling. But there is horrible violence in saying that a life has been ruined. Life is all we ever have, and we spend all of our years building our own. It takes careful effort, and luck, to construct a life where you can be happy. Love, children, a place among your people, a relationship with God, these are things that take lifetimes to cultivate, and they are too easy to lose. It doesn't take much. An evil act can tear loved ones apart, and an unjust law can drive a person from their home, or from their lives. And with that, suddenly, dozens of years of work are lost in an instant. That is what sin is, really - acts that damage lives. Murder not only ends a life, but devastates the fathers, and mothers, and wives and husbands and children... and more, and more, so that they lose years dwelling on the evil that was done to them, when they should have been enjoying their lives. So war.... that is the biggest sin. You kill the men, and turn the women and children and parents out of their homes with fire and bombs, and then you deprive them of food. Their villages burn, their memories ache from the loss of their friends. Only the lucky ever get their lives back, and what they get back is always scarred. You multiply these experiences one million times, and you have a war._""

Zerihun had been the priest in charge of the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant, sent by the church to request protection it. When Yaqob assented, he requested that Zerihun be allowed to stay in the Imperial entourage as his spiritual adviser. It was a peculiar request - the duty of guarding the Ark was usually a lifelong one - but the church missed their role as the legitimizing force behind the crown, and they had no problem sacrificing a minor matter of protocol in order to get closer to the Emperor.

As the room slowly filled with light, its features became apparent. It was a large room - larger than the huts that many of his people lived in. Its walls were decorated in a way that was less eclectic than most of Yaqob's museum-like palace. In here, there were softly-colored paintings from around the world, and a native piece depicting angels - winged heads - surrounding Christ against a patterned background in vivid colors - reds and greens and yellows and blues and oranges. It was painted on a large patch of cowskin stretched taut across a pole frame. The room was filled with simple furniture - chairs, chests, and the massive pillowy bed that they were both sitting on. In the air, there was a lingering smell of incense.

""We need to get her ready."" The voice was Azima's, and she was speaking in a soft whisper. Yaqob looked up from the miserable room and saw his wife leaning against the gold column-frame of the doorway. She wore a marble-white dress that hung loose from her shoulders and hugged her hips. A geometric pattern of gold and black crosses decorated its fringes, and a strip that ran across the front. Over her shoulders, she wore a cheetah pelt. Tewodros was dressed in white as well, and he also had a cheetah pelt across his shoulders - small enough that Yaqob reckoned it to be a cub. The pelts were ostentatiously African, at least in a way that others seen the continent. This was by design. A handful of Walinzi agents had been sent to prepare the airlift out of the country, and they had covered every detail - including the way the fleeing royal family would be presented. The sight of the exotic African Empress and her family would conjure romantic images - thoughts of Cleopatra, or the Noble Savage fleeing imperialist invaders. The Chinese would benefit from this image as well, helping them to see the Africans as a people suffering from colonization rather than another component in the damnable West.

Yaqob nodded and wrapped his arms around his mother. For the last time, he figured. Her age, and the doom that was coming to the African continent where Yaqob would be staying behind, seemed to promise to him that this would be their last meeting. But he had dwelled on these feeling long enough.

""Where is Taytu?"" Yaqob asked. He had expected his sister to arrive earlier.

""She is coming."" Azima said. ""She waited until the last minute.""

""She doesn't want to go."" Yaqob nodded. His sister was angry at the thought of being sent away. He couldn't help but admit that he had reasons to want her to stay - she was useful, and retaining even just one member of his family would be a great comfort. But those reasons were selfish. She had a child. Besides that, she had more passion than the cold-minded Fulumirani, who's aloof nature had been well suited for keeping a steady relationship with the standoffish Chinese, but times had changed. China needed to be pushed, and Taytu would be the one to do the pushing.

""You know."" Azima stifled a nervous laugh as she stood face to face with Yaqob. ""I have to ask...""

Yaqob smiled somberly. She smelled like sandalwood and honey, and he realized he would miss the love that her scent gave to their home. ""I can't."" he said. ""Africa needs its Emperor. It's like your father has said, i'm asking my people to die for this country. What would it look like if I left them behind?""

""Do not listen to my father."" Azima warned. Yaqob knew that she had never liked her own father, even when she was little. ""Hassan lives by a different code. He would accept your death if he thought it would somehow fit into his antique beliefs about... national honor, or whatever it is he values."" She embraced him, and her warmth made him miss her already. ""We can be together. In China. You can lead from there.""

""I agree with your father in this."" Yaqob replied ""If my death helped this country, I would accept it."" He could see immediately that his words had hurt her.

""Don't you say that."" she said. ""You are better alive. You can't do anything for anyone if you are dead.""

""I still can't go."" Yaqob said. ""This is the way that it has to be.""

There was a silence. Yaqob heard the scattered echo of many footsteps, of servants and guards moving from place to place throughout the palace. The silence was still there, though, and it was strongest between him and his sobered Queen.

She broke it with a nervous snicker. ""I should be fighting you more on this."" she said. ""I should hit you.""

""I wish I could let that work."" Yaqob replied. ""But I cannot change this.""

""I know. I know that you are stubborn."" she tried to smile. ""That is why I am not fighting."" she wiped a tear from her eye and stiffened her lip, and Yaqob remembered how strong his wife was. She looked down at Tewodros and scooped him up - barely out of infancy, he did not understand the events that were shaping his life around him. She handed him to Yaqob, and straightened the young child's cheetah pelt. ""You will represent me in China now."" Yaqob said to Tewodros, joking through the somber mood. Tewodros stared dumbly at his father. ""I want you to let them know what is what there in China.""

""He looks a little Chinese"" Azima added, her smile bittersweet. 

""Yes. Those baby cheeks..."" he squeezed Tewodros cheeks, ""...those stubby legs."" he squeezed Tewodros shins, ""I think they will make him chairman."" The boy looked confused, but smiled when he saw his father smiling. Yaqob realized how much comfort his son brought him, and it made him wonder what life would be like when they left him alone.

He thought back to the night before, when he had read at Tewodros bedside. He had read late into the night, well after the child went to sleep. The book he had chosen was hardly something a boy, who wasn't yet two years old, would have any interest in. It had been some older work of philosophy, chosen at what felt like random at the time. He had read through it, line after line, thinking of it as a lullaby. He remembered the last passage that he read.

'_What need is there of suspicious fear, since it is in thy power to inquire what ought to be done? And if thy seest clear, go by this way content, without turning back: but if thy dost not see clear, stop and take the best advisers. But if any other things oppose thee, go on according to thy powers with due consideration, keeping to that which appears to be just. For it is best to reach this object, and if thou dost fail, let thy failure be in attempting this. He who follows reason in all things is both tranquil and active at the same time, and also cheerful and collected..._'

That had been the last passage because it had stopped him. He realized that the lullaby wasn't for Tewodros, but for himself. He felt that he should have been ashamed by this. Instead, it scared him.

Now he was facing that fear, and he soaked in what happiness he still could. He didn't think about the future, or his wound. In the present, it was him, his wife, and his child. Together.

He heard Captain Mvulu approaching. Mvulu's approach was unique - a step, and then a click as his ivory peg-leg tapped the floor. Mvulu had been maimed in multiple ways during the Katanga Rebellion, where he earned his fame leading his men from the jungles of the south, through the heart of the enemies territory, to safety in the north. His leg wasn't the only thing he lost - the jungle had also taken an eye.

Yaqob watched Mvulu turn a corner down the hall. The morning light glinted off the gold-leaf inlay on his false leg - Gorillas in a forest, a tribute to the beast that had maimed him. His lost eye was hidden with a gold-white patch, and his scarred, ink-colored body was covered with the pompous cream uniform of his station.

""The Princess Taytu has arrived, with her adopted child."" Mvulu announced with all the dramatic flair of an ancient herald. ""She wishes to talk to her Emperor, alone.""

Yaqob lost his good spirits. When his sister wanted his time alone, there was most often an argument involved. He accepted and handed Tewodros to Azima.

Yaqob found Taytu in a small room - one he had dedicated to a suit of armor once owned by Emperor Yohannes IV in the nineteenth century - a rust hauberk trimmed with leather and decorated with ostrich feathers. There was nothing else in the room but dim lighting. His sister stood in place, her gawky, gaunt frame haloed by the soft light of the floor lamps. She looked both patient and nervous, and Yaqob couldn't help but notice that her eyes were bloodshot. 

""Did you bring your son?"" he asked at once, noticing Olivier's absence.

""Yes. He is ready for China."" she said. He sensed double meaning in her words and understood what this conversation was going to be about. He felt his chest scar tighten.

""Are you ready for China?"" He asked tentatively. Her lips tightened. It was time for the argument.

""My job is here."" she began to ramble breathlessly. ""This is where I work. My people, this... entire work that I have spent all of my time doing for the last five years is all here! I can't leave! I would be impotent in China! There would be nothing to do but sit and sit and think about everything that I failed to do here, everything I failed to be. There are... dangers... there are dangers you don't understand! I would be impotent there! I would be completely useless! I would be..."" she took a breath. ""I don't understand... what I have to say to show you.""

""I do not know why you feel like this."" Yaqob replied dutifully. He hated this. His scar was throbbing as if it were a fresh wound. ""I need experience in China. Someone who can put Pressure on the Third International...""

""You need me away from here because you don't think I can work with Hassan."" she responded. He could smell the liquor on her breath. 

""You don't want to work with Hassan""

""No."" she replied. ""Nobody should work with him. He is a danger and you cannot see it.""

""He is the most capable man for his job. There is no changing that.""

""Maybe not... but leaving you here, alone in his power...""

""You have lost your mind."" Yaqob frowned. He could feel the burning pain of his chest wound throbbing in his head now. ""And you are drunk.""

She recoiled at that. ""I have other reasons not to leave the continent. I want to coordinate our offices personally. Direct contact with China will be cut off. There is no doubting this. Once that happens, I will be a refugee. If I stay here, I will be who I am meant to be.""

""Dead"" Yaqob scoffed.

""Useful."" Taytu replied. ""Meaningful. I watched a war between my family once before. Do you know what it was like, sitting with our mother, hearing the news about this city falling or that village burning? It was so strange that my brothers were fighting each other with armies, but not know how it would end... I thought that one of you would be dead. Every day. And I felt like a little girl. The people in Austria knew, too. They would stare, but they wouldn't say anything. I don't want that again! I want to do something!""

""Chinese diplomacy is something."" Yaqob assured. He was in pain now, and part of him loathed his sister for it.

""Chinese diplomacy is nothing at all! I've read all of Fulumirani's dispatches. You have tea with this officer, or lunch with that party member. Then you watch the cherry trees grow."" She paused for a moment. ""The cherry trees are lovely this season, the city is lovely at night. Have you read one of Fulumirani's dispatches? He begins every one of them like that. This is lovely or that is lovely. But the rest of what is happening there, you can see it. You chat with people, and then you wait for them to wake up all the old men that run that fucking country and let them have all their tea and brunches so that they can all decide to be prudent and do nothing.""

""That is Fulumirani."" Yaqob replied. ""That is why I am sending you. Change them.""

""I won't change them and you know that."" she replied. ""I would be a curiosity there, nothing else. They would listen, wonder at the amazing talking African woman, lament how awful the situation in Africa is, and then call for more fucking tea.""

It was too hard to argue on this point. ""You have a son..."" Yaqob said wearily.

""And your wife can take care of him. Olivier would be in good hands with Azima.""

""You don't want to be with him?""

""I have faith that he will be alright in the Queen's hands."" Taytu replied resolutely.

""I cannot help it. I cannot keep you here.""

""If you need a diplomat."" she started to think ""What if... What if I visit the southern countries instead?""

""Southern?"" Yaqob answered. Was this it? The light at the end of the tunnel? The end of this painful conversation? ""Like Tanganyika?""

""Tanganyika, South Africa, Botswana. All of them. Shore up any support we can.""

Yaqob thought a moment. ""I will allow it."" he surrendered. It wasn't what he wanted, but this was not a day to argue, Imperial primacy be damned. ""You have my blessing.""

Content, They rejoined the rest of the family.

They left the palace in a somber mood, knowing that they would not all be returning as a family. The weather picked up on the royal gloom, and a wet wind was blowing in from the northwest. On the horizon, grey clouds. Yaqob held tightly to his Queen's hand, his only thoughts being about the desperate gap that divided their parting from any chance of reunion in the future. A gap that would be filled with war, and fear, and what would undoubtedly be the worst days he would ever see. It was hard to imagine a scenario where he lived. What would Sotelo do, if he got his hands on a living Emperor? The public perception of the man was one of a politician driven to anger over his warped concepts of justice. What would justice be, for the Emperor that Sotelo considered a force of imminent evil? And if the rumors that surrounded the Spanish Prime Minister were true...

Yaqob doubted his ability to survive the war. It was a doubt he could not reason himself away from.

They packed into long, black sedan. Silence. Yaqob took a deep breath, and sat Tewodros on his lap.

-

By the time they had reached the airport the clouds had grown greyer. Scarce drops of rain were being whipped around by the wind. Yaqob worried about the weather. There was already an air of danger about the flight of his family, and the promise of turbulence did not help. He had asked the pilot about the what seemed like a coming storm, but the man hadn't seemed worried. ""It's hardly weather at all, your majesty."" he had replied. ""Might not even follow us to the Red Sea."" Yaqob prayed that the man was right, but he could not help but fret.

They were standing on the tarmac, near the humming airplane at the center of his worries. It was larger than the aircraft he was accustomed to flying, but not so large as the common sort of commercial airliner that was becoming more and more common in Africa. Though much smaller than a military cargo plane, it shared a similar feature - a hatch in the back that allowed cargo into its heart. It was necessary for the consignment that the Church had put on Yaqob's government. An object that they - The Emperor, his family, the priest Zerihun, and the small host of diplomats and government employees - waited for in the wind.

The Ark of the Covenant, and the priests claimed that their cargo was indeed the original Ark, was so venerated by the priests that they insist nobody see it. It was for this purpose that the Ark, an object built to hold the Tablets of Moses, would now itself be put in a larger container. It seemed ridiculous to Yaqob that the Ark needed an Ark, but he had no reason to deny the Church their request. 

It was an gaudy box, nearly as large as a small room. It consisted of polished wooden panels held between solid gold beams. Several long, decorated sheets were draped over the box, layered white, then red, then purple. The younger priests wore white caps on their heads and carried traditional Shotel swords hanging from sheaths on their belts. They carried the box like a liter, holding its handles at waist height, while the older priests prayed, swung censers filled with burning incense, and sung hymns in droning harmony. 

Their hymning was drowned out by the chopping rumble of four fighters landing on a nearby strip. Yaqob watched the fighters, curious about what they were doing landing in the Capitol's main airport. They had upturned noses behind their propellers, further obscuring the cockpits nestled between their wings, and a strip along their fuselages were painted with the green-yellow-red colors of Ethiopia. On their wings were painted crowned lions in red squares. Yaqob watched as a tanker truck rushed along the strip to meet them, and understood that they had landed here to, simply, refuel.

He turned his attention back to the priests and their Ark of the Ark. They loaded it on to the plane, walking the ramp slowly and methodically as not to risk any injury to the sacred vessel it contained. As Yaqob watched, a thought struck him. He leaned in to Zerihun.

""How many priests are going with it?"" he asked.

""Four."" the old priest replied. 

""I thought there was only one guardian?""

The priest smiled behind his beard. ""Yes. Traditionally. But what we are doing here isn't... traditional.""

""And their swords? Is that... are they going to need those in China?""

The priest chuckled dryly. ""Diplomacy plays a second part to God. They will wear those swords to defend the Holy tabot.""

""If anybody wanted to steal it, I don't think swords are going to do anything.""

""Yes."" the priest paused. ""But you have not seen what these men can do with their swords."" 

When the Ark's Ark had been lifted completely into the plane, they knew the time had come. There, on the windy runway with rare drops of rainwater whipping at their faces, Yaqob said goodbye to his family. His mother was first, small and frail from her years. He kissed her on the cheek, and she smiled. ""I'm going to say hello to your father for you."" she said. It was the words of a woman lost in her own mind, but they sounded so prophetic as to send a chill across Yaqob body. Taytu took her, arm and arm, and helped her to board the plane, and it pained Yaqob to accept that he was saying goodbye to his mother for good. Somber, Yaqob was left alone with his wife and child.

Azima's hair had taken a life of its own in the wind. It danced in her face as she stood their, teary eyed, holding their child in her arms. It was a bittersweet moment for Yaqob. He had expected to feel worse, but they had been preparing for this moment for a while. Part of him felt relieved that they would be safe, and that all he would need to worry about was himself and the country he would be leading into war. 

""This is it."" he said. He reached up and wiped a tear from Azima's face. ""You will be safe.""

She smiled. ""You will be too."" she replied. She lifted Tewodros toward his father. ""Say goodbye to abba"" she cooed. Tewodros held up his hand. Yaqob smiled. ""Be a strong boy."" Yaqob said. Taytu brought Olivier, and he knew that they could not put it off any longer

He watched as his wife took Olivier by his only hand. Azima seemed to move slow as Yaqob felt his entire lifetime culminate in the moment. Sh waved goodbye before disappearing into the plane with the two boys. Yaqob stood and watched as the aircraft crept across the runway, speeding away from the ground. He watched until it disappeared somewhere in the eastern sky. It was done. As Yaqob stood in personal silence, the priests and their retainers melted away one by one. Eventually, Yaqob stood alone, with his sister, Zerihun, and their security entourage.

""What do I do now?"" Taytu asked.

""Inform Dar es Salaam about the change of plans."" he replied. ""Through the Walinzi, not through regular channels. The enemy will be here soon, and I want you out of the country when that happens.""

""I understand."" she said. 

He grabbed her by the hand. ""I don't mean to be cold."" he said. ""But we should not be in the same place at the same time. Each member of our family free from enemy hands is a poke in the eye to the legitimacy of their invasion. I just want you to be safe.""

She smiled. ""I understand."" she repeated. 

He returned to the cars with Zerihun, his thoughts with his family flying toward the Red Sea. The priest said nothing, and took the seat next to the driver, allowing Yaqob to be alone with his thoughts. The Emperor had the back seat to himself. As he entered the car, the pressure of the war and the loss of his family hit him all at once. The car started to move, and Yaqob started to cry.

-

Hours had passed since he watched that little airplane fade into the east, but it still weighed heavy on his mind. But there was work to do. He arrived at the Addis Ababa Press Club at hour after noon to give his announcement on the coming war. It had been at noon when the nation's Parliament officialized an amended declaration of war that would expand the scope of the conflict, and give liberties to the Emperor and the Military to take any act they deemed necessary in the expulsion of Spain. At the moment, it was a hollow move - Spain had the upper-hand. If the situation changed, however, than they would be able to act quickly in ways that could cripple more than the Spanish war effort - they could cripple Spain itself. 

It was easy to get caught up in glorious dreams, though. Yaqob had just been forced to send his family away into safety, and his fear of Spanish power was quickly turning into hatred. He had always imagined himself quieting the jingoistic Empire that straddled their northern border, bringing it to heel through diplomacy rather than the brutalities of war. When he had came to his throne, he had imagined himself doing the same for every problem that faced him, but the Yaqob that was facing this invasion was different from the boy who came to power four years ago. He had faced the truth of Empire, and the irrationality that governed humanity. The Spanish question would be answered in the trenches. 

The Addis Ababa Press Club wasn't an impressive place. It was a small office suit situated in a comfortable corner on the edge of the capitol's confused central sprawl. The Emperor was politely led down thin halls covered by an uneven carpeted floor and wood-panel walls. On the walls were photographs, hung like trophies, depicting major news stories of the last twenty or so years. In some of them, Yaqob saw photos of himself, depicting the ups and downs of his reign. Seeing them gave him a strange feeling. They showed events that had immense personal meaning to him, but they showed them in a way that was as dispassionate as a history. 

""You have reviewed your speech?"" his secretary asked. He was a stenographer first and foremost, and a man who's name Yaqob did not even know, but the Emperor appreciated his professionalism. 

""I have."" Yaqob replied tersely. ""I've made adjustments.""

""Of course."" the man replied. ""Le'elt Taytu will be sending the text of your speech to all available foreign offices of state and primary media sources. I was told that there will not be time for editing.""

""We have to be dramatic now."" Yaqob replied. ""It will be sent out immediately."" he paused. ""It shouldn't matter. The speech will be broadcasted as well.""

""Of course."" the secretary replied. ""I'm just making sure our protocols will be different."" he smiled. ""Good luck, your Highness. Don't mess up.""

Yaqob nearly laughed. Instead, he just grinned. ""You don't mess up either.""

He arrived at his podium, in a small room filled with a diversity of newsmen and reporters. Most were professionals, men with notepads and recording devices, standing up as the Emperor entered the room, but hardly looking at him as they adjusted their tools and equipment. There were others who did not seem to fit in - women writing on scrap paper, young children with aging pens writing on their own arms, and men from other parts of the African nation. These were people who had bribed their way in. Yaqob did not doubt that the Press Club had, in order to make a profit, taken every step they could think of short of selling tickets at the door.

""Can I have your attention."" his secretary said, tapping his palm against the mic to quiet the room with its muffled noise. ""You can all sit down."" he said. They sat. ""Prepare to be addressed by his Imperial Majesty, Emperor Yaqob II of Ethiopia and the Pan-African Union."" There was an air of professional silence. Everybody listened.

Yaqob took to the podium. He cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and began to speak.

""Yesterday I received confirmation that the Naval Forces of the Spanish Republic passed into the Suez Canal. As of this moment they are expected to be entering the Red Sea on a trajectory for our coastal waters, where they will begin the invasion of our sovereignty which they recently planned and announced. Our government has worked to keep this invasion from happening, both through political and extra-political means. A detachment of dedicated Africans, made up of soldiers and government agents, was dispatched to the Suez Canal to bar it from the Spanish. Their mission succeeded only for a short time, but we should not consider the lives that were sacrificed there to be lost to futility. The time they bought our military has allowed us to prepare a defense formidable enough to repay their suffering threefold upon the horror invaders.""

""It is important that we do not lose hope in the face of the coming attack. Our enemies underestimate us, expecting to find the same untested peoples who lived blissfully in these lands before the coming of the European in the last century. We have since those initial invaders, and all invaders who came after them. The Spanish are included in this number. An invasion by the prior Spanish government failed in an embarrassment at Coquilhatville along the Congo river, in  place we now call Mbandaka. It is an embarrassment they will repeat. This is a war they cannot win, because it is a war that they do not understand. They look at us as a people built to be conquered, a cultural blank slate where their political wishes can play out without consequence. They don't see the heart of our people, and they have denied our humanity. For us this is a tragic reality of the world. For them, it is a tactical disaster. They will fall into a trap of their own making, and we will ruin them.""

""For the rest of the world, the lies told by the Spanish government must be understood to be nothing more than that - lies. Intelligent people will see their rancid mythology, where Africa is cast as a demonic evil, as a ridiculous set of fantasies that would be unworthy for even the worst whorehouse gossip. The story of Africa and its relationship with the Spanish Republic is the story of an abusive aggressor with colonial ambitions against an entire people. It is the story of the greatest crime of our age - the expression of a hegemony based on race and culture that by its nature creates a friction between peoples, and through this friction creates violence. Until this hegemony is toppled, and all people live as equals in the greater fellowship of man, this violence will continue. My father recognized this, and dedicated his life to the uplifting of the African people and the abolishment of colonial hegemony. The circumstances of our era require me to do the same.""

""So let it be known that this is not simple a war where our nation defends its borders. My brothers in humanity, the people of the Sahara, of North Africa, and the Ivory Coast, live in a state of subhuman bondage and lamentable servitude to a Spanish government that bleeds them of everything they can give. We will drive the enemy from these lands, inch by bloody inch if needed, until the taint of Colonialism is washed clean from our shores. To the people of Spanish Africa, I say look to your own capacity for violence and rise up to destroy your oppressors. To the people of the world, know that this fight is not just a fight for the people of Africa, but rather this is a war to be fought by the forces of humanity against the forces of inhumanity.""

His inflection change, and his voice filled with passion.
 
""And to my countrymen, my people, as you prepare for this war, remember this: your families will be with you, your neighbors will be with you, I will be with you, and the whole world will be with you, and we will completely exterminate those who dared call themselves invaders!"""

Russell leaned forward to listen to the feeble old man’s words.

“We want his guarantee,” Wilbur Helms hissed from behind his desk. “We want a presidential promise that civil rights will not be on the agenda.”
Wilbur Helms, the senior senator from South Carolina, looked liked death warmed over. His silvery hair spread across his age spot freckled head in thin wisps. He held an oxygen mask in one gnarled hand, a pen in the other. His piercing blue eyes betrayed the image of weakness and showed just a hint of the man behind those eyes. At eighty-five years old Senator Helms was the oldest member of the Senate in terms of both age and tenure. He had first come to Capitol Hill as a congressman in 1931, four years before Russell had even been born. A short career in the House led to a run for an open Senate seat in South Carolina, an election Helms won easily. That was fifty years ago. This walking skeleton was just one of the many old, wrinkled asses Russell had to kiss during his time as Senate Majority Leader. Political power in the Senate flowed to those that had tenure, and nobody had as much tenure as Helms. 

As the head of the Southern Caucus, Helms held the fate of every bill in his hands. Every major Senate committee and subcommittee was chaired by either a Southerner or a Republican who was a Southern ally. The way the conservative coalition worked was that any bill it did not like, it ignored and let die an ignominious death in committee. That was the usual method, whereas the other method involved a very public death. With the power of the filibuster, Helms and his lieutenants would talk of nothing but the bill they didn’t like. They would clamp down the flow of legislation in the Senate, holding the rest of the government’s legislation hostage until the bill in question was withdrawn from the floor. That was why Russell was in Helms’ office, the night of the president’s joint session to Congress. After a quick run through the House, the president’s NEWI bill suddenly found itself stalled in the Appropriations Committee where Helms served as the ranking Democrat.

“Wilbur, what do you want me to say?”

“What I told you, goddammit,” the old man snarled. “We’ve been hearing rumors that Norman wants to end desegregation in the South.  We want a promise from him that he won’t do that. You’re the Vice President, Russell. Tell me what you know.”

“They’re just rumors,” said Russell. “People have been coming out the woodwork to call Norman a bleeding heart, but he’s a military man. Just give him guns and tanks to play with and he’s happy.”

Helms pressed his oxygen mask to his face and eyed Russell. 

“I want this bill on the New England weapons thing to pass,” he said, the mask muffling his voice. “The best thing that son of a bitch Fernandez did while he was in office was his work with the military, and I’m glad President Norman’s continuing it… but I don’t know if it’s worth meddling in the rights of the state.”

State’s Rights, thought Russell. It was that tired old excuse justifying oppressing people; the sovereign right of the states to deny rights to others as they saw fit. Russell planted his hands on the old man’s desk and leaned forward until he could hear the old man’s wheezing through the oxygen mask.

“Senator— Wilbur, it’s me you’re talking to here. Remember who I was, what I did for this body while I was Leader, and now I’m Vice President.”

“Yeah,” Helms groaned. “You’re Vice President of the United States. That and thirty cents will buy you a coke cola at the vending machine.”
Russell stood upright and scowled. 

“What are you trying to say?”

“What I’m saying is that the Vice Presidency ain’t worth a bucket of warm piss.” Helms pulled off the mask and showed Russell a wide grin filled with yellow teeth. “There ain’t a damn thing you can do for me, son. For ten years you was Leader and we let you do it, run the Senate how you saw fit. Me and the other Southerners didn’t agree with everything you did, but we did it because we knew what you were playing at. You wanted to be president, and I wanted that for you so bad. You… Russell, you’ve always been like a son to me. Had five daughters, but never a boy…”
The old man’s jaw trembled, wetness in his eyes. He put the oxygen back over his mouth and breathed deeply in, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, the moisture was gone and his hard stare was back.

“But then you settled for being the Vice President for Norman, a carpetbagger. You traded all that power and influence for a meaningless position—“

“I am a heartbeat away from the office of the president,” Russell said, pounding his fist into the desk. “You don’t think that’s important?”

“It is… once that heartbeat stops. For now, Russell, you’re just an errand boy. You can’t do nothing for me, only the President can. So unless I get his personal word that he’s not going to try to pass a civil rights bill, his NEWI bill sits in committee. Run and tell him that, and then you can let the grownups decide things, ya hear?”

Russell’s knuckles were turning white from the amount of pressure his balled up fists were creating. His whole body seemed to course with rage. Rage at the old man, rage at himself because of how true his words were. He wanted to reach across the table and smash the old man’s head against the hardwood desk until it was nothing but a greasy spot on the mahogany. 

“Mr. Vice President? Senator Helms?”

One of Helms’ staff members stood at the doorway. The young man looked confused when he saw the looks of anger on the two men’s faces. He stepped back slightly and spoke quietly. “They’re ready for you. It’s time for the Senate to go to the House chamber.”

“Thank you, Danny,” said Helms. He stood and grabbed the cane he used to get around. 

Russell held an arm out and helped guide the old man out of the office and to the Senate chamber.  The rest of the senators stood mingling around their desks. Russell broke away from Helms and stood in front of the group of men.

“We ready?” he said with his best fake smile. “Gentlemen, if you’ll follow me.”

Acting as president of the Senate, Russell lead the ninety-six men through the halls of the capitol towards the House chamber. Russell stopped the procession just short of the chamber threshold. The big, beefy man with snowy white hair who acted as sergeant at arms nodded at him before stepping out and announcing to the audience: “Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice President of the United States and the United States Senate.”
A light smattering of applause followed Russell and the Senate as they filed in. They were just a side attraction; the main event was the president and his speech. That thought brought Russell back to Helms’ office and his annoyance. He climbed the House rostrum towards the third tier. Two chairs were waiting in front of the American flag draped on the wall.

“Mr. Vice President,” Speaker of the House Clay Foulke said with a smile as Russell climbed to the third level of the House’s rostrum, the post where the VP and Speaker stood behind the President. 

“How are you, Clay?” Russell said to his old protégée. 

“Same ole same ole. You seem upset, though.”

“Wilbur Helms is getting on my last nerve,” Russell said as they sat down.

Both men looked to the seat where Helms sat with the rest of the Senate’s old bulls. To his immediate right was Larry Beasley, South Carolina’s other senator. Despite the fact Beasley was seventy years old and a forty year veteran of the Senate and was still the state’s _junior_ senator. Clay leaned back in his chair and laughed.

“Have you heard that joke, how do you become a senator from South Carolina?”

“Stay alive,” Russell replied. 

A buzz circulated through the crowd, whispers and excited murmurs that confirmed Norman was in the building.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” the sergeant at arms bellowed minutes later. “The President of the United States.”

The crowd stood on their feet as President Michael Norman strode forward, stopping here and there to shake hands and gladhand with the people on the aisles. Norman stepped onto the rostrum and shook Clay’s hand before leaning in to shake Russell’s.

“What did Helms say,” Norman whispered in Russell’s ear.

“He’s gonna be a son of a bitch about it,” Russell said over the applause. “Go forward with it and let me deal with the old bulls, to hell with them. I can get what you want through congress, Mr. President. I promise you that.”

Norman looked at Russell and gave him a curt nod before he turned to face the applauding crowd. With speech in hand, President Norman slipped his reading glasses on and looked out across the quieting gallery. The microphone he spoke into was wired for radio broadcast and three cameras mounted in the chamber provided television coverage. Clay pounded his gavel and spoke to the chamber

“Members of Congress,” he said, “the President of the United States.”

Another round of applause before Norman spoke.

“Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, and my fellow Americans listening to and watching this address. Tonight marks my first address to Congress since my election. I come here tonight to speak to you and the nation about my plans for the coming year…”


**Natchez, Mississippi**

James Calhoun awoke in a haze of dull pain. He wasn’t sure where he was, but his face ached and a distant hum buzzed in his ears. He looked around through swollen eyes and saw the dingy cement walls and iron bars of a jail cell. Cotton wads were stuffed in his mouth and the last events he remembered suddenly came back to him: Outside the courthouse, fighting the officer who put his hands on his daughter followed by the nightstick and then more nightsticks. 

“Good evening,” a voice said near the jail cell bars. 

James turned slowly and saw a woman standing at the door. She was white and middle-aged, her red hair up in a bun. She wore a black pantsuit with a white blouse and matching high heels.

“Mr. Calhoun, I am Special Agent Jessica Hyatt. I’m with the Federal Crime Bureau’s New Orleans office. My superiors sent me here to speak to you about your role in the growing civil rights movement here in Mississippi.”

James started to speak, but stopped when he felt the sharp pain in his jaw. Just moving it made it hurt like hell. The cotton was stuffed in deep, but he was sure he was missing teeth. Instead of speaking, he shook his head.

“Dnt know,” he said through closed teeth. “Jst farmer.”

“Right.” Hyatt leaned forward against the bars and stared straight ahead at James. “Mr. Calhoun, you are currently charged with attempted murder.  You assaulted a police officer. In Mississippi.  You’re lucky that you’re not dead. Knowing the good ole boys here, you’re going away for a very long time. Your farm without you there to tend it will go downhill very fast. Think of your wife and kids without their primary bread winner, think about your daughter who’s mixed up in all this. Imagine her going to prison, to the state pen in Jackson with all those bull dykes—“

“Nuff,” said James. “Wht do yu want?”

“Isaiah Wolde, this movement’s leader. According to what we know he claims to have lived in Ethiopia as an American ex-pat prior to coming back and starting these protests. The FCB wants any and all information on him and the movement. We’re very concerned that this civil rights movement is a front to more subversive activities, and potentially radical religious violence. The FCB need an informant inside the movement. In exchange for information, the US attorney will intervene with the state and local officials and have all charges against you dropped and immunity for you and your daughter for any and all crimes short of murder.”

James hesitated. He thought about earlier in the day, the implications from the protestors that he was an Uncle Tom. He believed in everything they did, but he believed it would eventually come and there was no need to make a fuss… but he didn’t give a good goddamn about things like the vote if he was facing a long prison sentence, or if Sarah was going to have her life ruined by these people. And then there was what Hyatt had said about Wolde’s potentially ulterior motives. He didn’t like the fact the man was a Muslim. He had heard things about those people that didn’t sit well with him.

“Ok, I’ll do it,” he said through his teeth. 

“Thank you,” Hyatt said with a soft smile. “You won’t regret it.”


---

“On the subject of civil rights there has been much speculation about the goals of this administration.”

President Norman looked down at his copy and paused for a few seconds before looking back up with a stern expression on his face.

“Since Thomas Jefferson wrote the words ‘all men are created equal’ this so-called self-evident truth has yet to be realized in this country. First through slavery, and then through segregation and disenfranchisement the Negro people of this country have been kept in bondage for over two hundred years. In this latter half of the 20th century, it is up to all of us to see that those rights our founders championed apply to all Americans, regardless of race or economic standing. All citizens should have the right to vote without Jim Crow, all Americans should have the right to public schools and quality housing. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, but it is my mission to see that their descendants finally receive the true freedom that has long been denied to them.”

The crowd erupted, standing and clapping the president’s message. At least half of them did. Nearly half of the crowd stayed firmly seated. Russell looked towards the Senate section and saw Helms stewing with the other old bulls. The two men locked eyes and Russell stared the old man down while he clapped along with the audience.




**Vancouver**


Arthur’s shaking hands held two wires. The wires completed the circuit that would start the countdown. The timer he rigged up would, at the end of the countdown, send an electrical impulse to the chunk of plastic explosive Alex had given him. Arthur had no idea where he was getting all these explosives and guns, but their group had been putting it to good use. Two successful bank robberies was the seed money for tonight’s actions. While Arthur, Joanna, and Chris pulled this off, Alex worked on getting their message out. Letters mailed to all the newspapers, radio and television stations in Vancouver announcing who they were and what they stood for. 

A spark flashed when Arthur connected the circuit. The timer started, he had three minutes to get out of the blast radius. He rolled out from under the van and rushed to the idling car where Chris and Joanna were waiting. He climbed into the back seat and nodded at Chris, who gunned it through the parking garage. He sped their sedan up and out of the underground facility and down the road. Arthur checked his watch and quietly counted down. He looked out the back window just as the explosion ripped through the night. The plastic explosive had destroyed the van it was wired under, turning the car into a giant piece of fiery shrapnel that tore through the parking garage and the lower levels of the J. Surratt Federal Building in downtown Vancouver. It was after hours so there was very little chance of anyone dying in the blast, but it was an important first step. The bombing with Alex’s letter served as the coming out party of the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty.

“We have waged two wars on this continent. We have witnessed both secession of states and annexation of new territory. Now we are united and stronger than we ever were. We must use this strength to improve economically, educationally, culturally, and militarily. We must show the world that we are back on the world scene.”

A steady round of applause broke out at that. The president took time to take a breath while the clapping died out.

“Finally, in matters of defense we must continue to improve.” President Norman paused, his jaw flexing with emotion. “I have seen firsthand, the realities of unprepared armed forces facing a stronger foe. Continuing President Fernandez’s work is one of my top priorities. To prevent a third war on this continent, the United States must be stronger. To prevent enemies invading our shores and borders, we must show them that we are ready to defend. We live in troubling times. Thousands of miles away, war grips Africa. It is a war being waged by the peoples of Africa against a foe that is all too familiar to the United States.”

Russell watched the president remove his reading glasses and look straight ahead towards the television camera, ignoring the prepared notes and appearing to speak off the cuff. He did his best to hide his smile. 

“To the people of Ethiopia, this administration stands steadfastly by you in your time of need. You provided support and refuge for our people during our long, dark nightmare and we will be forever grateful. Your struggle is our struggle, the very same struggle people face the world over.  I call on congress to pass a bill to provide the Ethiopian Empire with economic and humanitarian support as they fight to throw off the yoke of colonialist aggression. Pass this bill, and all the others I have mentioned tonight, so that people the world over will see that the United States has manifested its destiny, that the United States has arrived and it will not tolerate those that seek to enslave others. Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.”"
22085,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-01-25 06:00:00,gorgenmast,"**_Golondrina_, Suez, Egypt**

Luis stood against the lip of railing on the cruiser's forecastle, surveying the passing of the final mile of the Suez Canal. Up ahead, the point vessels of the Spanish Armada had already broken through into the open sea beyond - the Gulf of Suez, the northernmost tip of the Red Sea. From this point on, the fleet would have ample space to maneuver and flank any opposition. No more would the captains need to beware lurking seamines, no more could scraps of debris halt the caravan of steel. Blue, open water was all that separated Admiral Santin's fleet from the Ethiopian coast. It was all that separated Luis from what he feared was certain doom.

Only a week ago, he saw his first combat. The _Golondrina's_ hull and lip railing was still pocked and cratered from that firefight on the cruiser's deck, and Luis too remained battered from what he had witnessed. When an Ethiopian bullet found its mark on the clavicle of a compatriot, he lost consciousness and remained in triage for the duration of the Battle of Port Said. The medics concluded the cause of his fainting was ""low severity shell-shock"" and discharged him from triage the day afterward.

But Luis remained terrified. If his was a minor case of battlefield trauma, he could only imagine the mind-shattering horrors that lay across the sea before him. The Ethiopians were surely outgunned in this war, but what they lacked in technology they made up for in resourcefulness and determination. They had seen European invaders before; the Ethiopians had routed an Italian invasion from their homeland in the last century. The military leadership above him seemed absolutely certain that Spain's military primacy would obliterate Ethiopia's more numerous yet technologically deficient armies, but a constant and fearful voice within Luis' mind insisted that his demise was imminent.

Suez, the namesake of this canal and the southernmost port on the waterway, rose from the dunes on the right side of the canal. The town appeared to have seen recent fighting. Nothing approaching the absolute destruction of Port Said and Fuad, but the damage was substantial enough to notice from a distance. Several edifices were missing hunks of plaster or had black sooty scorchmarks staining the walls just above any windows. Bullet craters were scattered across cinderblock facades and the once-towering petrol silos near the harbor were reduced to warped, burnt-out shells. The Ethiopians must have fought indigenous resistance here to allow their expeditionary force to pass the Sinai Desert to the Mediterranean. But those native warriors were nowhere to be found as the Spanish fleet made its way down the canal. The inhabitants of Suez who remained did not but stand on the bank of the canal, watching passively as the steel caravan went inexorably onward. Even for the demure Luis Morazan, the timidness of the Egyptians was astounding. Why had they resisted so fiercely against the Ethiopian expeditionary forces, only to pay no mind to the Spanish Armada that had played the larger part in flattening an entire city?

""Luis!"" A familiar voice called out. Luis turned and found his compatriot and friend from basic training, Héctor, approaching to greet him. ""Holy shit, the guys and I were worried sick you'd caught a bullet in the shootout at Port Said. I haven't seen you since! How the Hell are you, _cabron_?""

""Fine,"" Luis lied. And what a lie it was. Luis had been a nervous wreck since being dismissed from triage. Whenever he was afforded the opportunity, Luis chose to lounge in his bunk, skipping most meals and spending as much time as possible asleep. Only in dreams, or in the nothingness of a dreamless sleep, could Luis escape the coming nightmare.

""I'm glad to hear that, my friend."" Héctor joined Luis in leaning against the railing, looking out into the southward expanding sea. A steely gray thunderhead rose up from the South, darkening the sea and the skies before them: a storm generated by the summer monsoon. Luis had overhead fellow soldiers of the Ejercito and the cruiser's shipmates mention the same storm; it had surprised the Armada's meteorologists with its unseasonably early and northerly formation. Though, unfortunately for him, the meteorological experts had not deemed it sufficiently detrimental to postpone the attack. The fighting in Port Said had wasted enough time as it was.

""So, are you excited?""

""Excited for what, exactly?""

""What the Hell do you mean 'for what'?"" An astonished Héctor demanded. ""I mean _this_,"" he opened his arms and gestured to the fleet of warships steaming into the rumbling mass of stormclouds. ""We're going to battle, to _history_, Luis! Your children and their children are going to be asking you about these days years and years from now. They're going to want to know what it was like to fight the communist hordes, save Europe, and all those good things! When we get back to Spain - oh! - when we get back, let me tell you! Luis, when you tell they girls back home you were killing communists in Africa..."" Héctor pursed his lips and loudly mimicked the sound of falling water droplets. ""You're gonna make all the ladies wet!""

""Aren't you worried at all?"" Luis asked soberly, unable to find it in him to pretend he was not concerned. ""We're going to be in a war. We could die.""

""And you can die driving on the Madrid beltway - what's your point? You heard Lieutenant Ayesta, these guys can barely give all their soldiers a uniform. It's going to be like shooting fish in a barrel. You don't think they'd invade a country if they didn't know for certain they'd be able to win?""

""I think you're underestimating how dangerous this could be.""

""_Jesucristo_, Luis. Maybe you should have waited until your balls dropped before you enlisted. What exactly did you think you'd be doing in the Ejercito?""

A warbling roar of airplane propellers punctuated the discussion. Luis and Héctor turned to the sky and watched a quadret of fighters climb upward into the sky above against the satellite clouds of the gathering storm. Luis and Héctor were afforded a close view of their undersides as they proceeded South. Torpedoes and fusiform bombs of varying weights were bolted under the wings of the _Halcon_ fighters; this was no reconnaissance sortie that they undertook.

""Two days, Luis,"" Héctor continued once the thrumming of the four planes faded over the whitecaps of the Red Sea. ""They say it will be the day after tomorrow when we reach the Ethiopian coast. I don't know about you, but I'm ecsta-""

Héctor was interrupted by a howling scream that tore through the sky above the cruiser. Luis flinched as the source of the ear-splitting roar tore through the air above the canal in a bluish-gray blur. Luis and Héctor spun on their heels to spot the source of the sound. It was a plane, small and streamlined, that buzzed past the forward ships of the Armada on a trail of diffuse smoke before arcing up into the clouds and leaving the _Halcones_ in its wake of exhaust despite having taken off the carrier's deck minutes afterward. 

""What was that thing!?"" Luis blurted, the roar of the craft still resonating and rumbling through the air. ""Was that a plane? Where were it's propellers?""

""You know why I am not afraid, Luis? Because we have _those_ on our side.""

Luis looked back to where he had last seen the plane. It was long gone. Did he imagine seeing that craft? Such a machine did not even seem possible.

""Have a little faith in the higher-ups. We can't lose this war, so loosen the Hell up. We're about to see history unfold!""

**To the attention of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC**

Michael Norman, Esteemed President of the United States of America,

Firstly, I must take this opportunity extend my congratulations to you for your victory in your election. By casting out Eric Fernandez and the other socialist elements in the American government, you have my most sincere commendation. Your victory, and the subsequent departure of the United States of America from the Chinese-led Comintern, was a matter of great satisfaction to our Republic. Your victory has demonstrated that the United States of America will not be lost to ideals of thievery and public criminality so espoused by Marx and Hou. You have restored honor to the United States of America, and for that you have my most sincere respect.

I regret to inform you that respect is in jeopardy.

Recently I was provided a transcript of your address to the Congress of the United States, and I have learned of your intent to provide assistance to the Ethiopian Empire. I must here correct your erroneous belief that this is an unprovoked war of colonization on the part of the Second Spanish Republic. Let it be made clear that the military operations currently underway in Ethiopia have the aim of neutralizing the destabilizing regime of Yaqob Yohannes. It was Yaqob Yohannes, who with Chinese support, has plunged Africa into substantial unrest through the forcible spread of Marxist ideals throughout Africa. This Republic reserves the right to combat communist sympathizers and halt the spread of their toxic and destabilizing ideologies. As such, it is in the interest of preserving Europe and liberated Africa that I have conducted this operation against the Ethiopian Empire.

Nor shall I abide those who would enable such venomous regimes and undermine the military operations of the Second Spanish Republic. The so-called 'humanitarian and economic relief' outlined in your address may seem an innocuous and uncontentious way to mitigate the unavoidable collateral damage that will be wrought by this conflict. Your desire to protect to limit the destructive potential of this conflict is noble. However, because relief materiel cannot be readily distinguished between civilian aid and supplies destined for the Ethiopian military, any aid rendered unto Ethiopia must be considered military aid. The act of providing military aid to an enemy of the Republic would quite obviously be a hostile act indeed. I am not one to take hostile actions with scant regard.

If you wish to provide assistance to the people of Ethiopia in a way that is mutually beneficial, I invite you to contact the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to establish a joint effort to provide civilian aid to Ethiopians. Should you choose instead to move forward with your initiative to provide support of any form to the regime of Yaqob Yohannes, I regret to inform you that there must be unsavory consequences.

It is my hope that this matter might be concluded in a manner that is mutually agreeable to these two great republics.

With utmost respect,

_Alfonso Grijalba Sotelo, Presidente del Gobierno de la Segunda Republica Española_"

A man looked up as a boot was once again shoved down into his face, forcing him to spit up more blood onto the hard, cold concrete floor. He rested in a prison chamber within Novi Pazzar, having been found to be apart of one of Serbia’s underground communist movements. His originally normal every-day clothes had been torn by his treatment at the hands of the Serbian soldier before him. His once neat and straight black hair was now messy. Dirt and blood covered his hands and face, as his green eyes looked up at the Serbian soldier before him, in a look that could only be described as that of a man who knew his death was near.

“Filthy communists, you will ruin the future of glorious Serbia.” said the soldier, in that same rough tone that was common of soldiers. He once again kicked down at the communist, forcing him to spit up more blood onto the floor, a small puddle forming around him. The communist finally gave up all resistance, as the soldier opened up the shackles that bound him. He fell unconscious from the shear amount of pain he had suffered, and his lack of energy. The soldier slung his limp body over his shoulder, dragging him to somewhere else.

*A few hours later…*

When the communist finally awoke he was instantly blinded by a light. Giving his eyes a minute to adjust he saw that he was outside after having been locked in the dark prison for so long. He pulled up for a minute, seeing that he was once again shackled, this time to a wooden pole. He was stood up on a wooden platform. Looking to his sides he could see a few of the men he had been conspiring with for so long. Standing before each of the strapped up communists was a soldier, with a officer overlooking the situation. A crowd had gathered and looked on in horror, some.

“Today we shall show you what we would do to those who dare touch a forsaken ideology such as communism! If communists take control it be the downfall of our glorious nation!” shouted the officer, gesturing to those who were tied up. Each of the soldiers loaded a single bullet into their rifles.

“Take aim!” shouted the officer once again. The soldiers lowered their weapons, aiming them at those who had been tied up. 

“Fire!”

The sounds of bullet fire cracked across the square of Novi Pazzar, as the blood of the communists streamed across the wooden platform and onto the ground. The crowd quickly turned away, all with mixed expressions. Some were genuinely loyal to the Serbian government, most however had expressions of horror as they feared they could be next. Regardless, it was obvious by that today’s execution that Serbia would not tolerate left-wing ideals in itself.

**Belgrade, Serbia**

Neven stood over his desk, a chessboard set out on it. He was a tall man, standing at 6ft. His hair was a brown color, with his eyes being light blue. His cheekbones angled down into his chin in a rough line, leaving him with a non-circular face. His outfit was simply a pair of blacks pants with a fancy black shirt. He moved one of the pieces across the board, specifically the white queen, next to a black pawn. As he did this a man stepped into the room and began watching, a bit curious as to what Neven was doing.

“...and with that Spain has made their move. It is your turn China.” spoke Neven in a soft-voice, almost as if he had only expected himself to hear it.

“Uh sir, are you alright?” commented the man who just entered. His face was ovular, with hair and eyes similar to Neven, almost being as tall as him as well. 

“I am fine Obrad, just using a chess game as a metaphor for world politics.” responded Neven, looking up at Obrad. Neven’s expression was just blank as he looked at Obrad.

“I have those reports you asked for, over production and manpower figures.” said Obrad, handing Neven a small stack of papers. Neven quickly flipped through them, before setting them down amongst the already large stacks of paper that had gathered on his desk.

“They seem fine… do me a favor and send a diplomat to Madrid. I would like to try to negotiate some deals with Spain. They could be a potentially valuable ally.” finished Neven.

“Yes sir, right away.” stated Obrad, leaving the office to do as Neven had told him to do."

The sounds of the daily rush hour traffic crossing the Széchenyi lánchíd (Chain Bridge) were usually loud from Adél Bak. She was listening to what her advisory and assistant, András Barabás, ""President, General Olivér Erik along with Department of Defense, Fábián Richárd, and Department of Security, Fülöp Gabriella, are waiting from you in The Red Salon. They are awaiting from word on what to do with current events that unfolded."". Adél, confused as why they would want to talk in The Red Salon, said, ""This must be serious enough from me to call me over there. <span class=""bb-b"">Especially</span> in The Red Salon."".

""Agree."" said András with a serious tone and waited until they were at Sándor Palace. The President wanted to keep on talking about this 'meeting' in The Red Salon, ""They must want me to be impress by their plan to be meeting in The Red Salon."". ""President, what did you say?"" said the advisory as he was caught off guard by her voice. ""I said that they must want to be impress me by meeting in the Red Salon."" said the President once more as she kept going, ""The Red Salon is useful from foreigners, making friendships, and many other things. The country put more money onto the room than any other place besides all of the Salons and the other important rooms to improve relations."". ""I don't get what you mean, President."" said András with the confused look as the car stopped and the door opened on the President's side. ""Maybe another time, advisory."" said Adél as she exited the car and walked towards the doors of her palace.

The doors of the palace were opened by the Sentries as the President thank them. Adél walked towards the salon as if she had been living there from her life, which she visited the palace during the summer time tour. She opened the door as the General Olivér and Fábián were sitting in the biedermeier chairs, ""President Bak, it's nice to finally meet you."" said Olivér. ""Come on and sit down."" Fábián said, showing the chair in between them with the palm of his hand, ""You must be tired after the long drive."". 

Adél walked towards the chair and sat down as she began to say, ""What is this 'meeting' about?"". Her thoughts were busy with questions, what are they doing here? Why do they want to see her before the first meeting? Why are we here at the Salon? ""Me and Fábián were just talking about how the country's military and defenses are doing, since the failed attempt to take Ukraine."" said Olivér with a tone like a calm yet demanding tone. ""Yes, the country is doing well as it was ten years ago, but we are short of friends."". Adél was trying to make sense of the whole things, but couldn't get the final piece. The President began to spoke up until another advisory to her opened the door as she walked over to Adél. She had no idea on who this advisory was, but she whisper into Adél's ear and she whisper back to her.

She stool up and faced towards the guys, still sitting in the chairs, and said, ""I just got some important news, please meet us in the conference room as soon as you can."" The President left the salon along with her advisory and then they stool up as they began to walk slowly towards the conference room. ""Think she got the news?"" said Fábián and then Olivér grinned, ""I bet that she did. I hope she makes a good first choice."".

<span class=""bb-i"">Thirty minutes later...</span>

Everyone that was important to the President, the Vice President, and the country were all at the conference room. Everyone was sitting and talking to each other from serious matters to which pen was theirs until the Vice President, Jóljárt Bogdán, walked in the room. There everyone stool up and one of them, Csaba Pázmán (Department of the Treasury), said, ""Good evening, Vice President. Where is the President?"".

""Here I am"" said Adél as she and Jóljárt made their way to their seats and sat down (the President being the first person to sit, then anyone else.). The President began the evening with a speech, ""Good evening to you all. We are here tonight to talk in private about our country and world events. I hope that you all will get something to say during the meeting, as we will be covering most of the issues of the country and the world events tonight. Shall we began with some news from Spain and Ethiopia?"" They await the news as she said, ""War is going to happen within Africa between Spain and Ethiopia, do you all have to thoughts about the news?""

They all took a moment to take in the news and come up with what side to take and what does Hungary do in the mess of this war. It was until the silent was broken by the Department of Health and Human Services, Özséb Alexandra, as she said, ""We can't go to war, the hospitals aren't train and ready to handle wounds, like that of the war ten years ago"". Fábián said, ""Our anti-air guns can handle any air attacks coming from either side, we just have to worry about the bombers. Otherwise, I think that we can join this war."". 

""What if the countries around us decided that attacking us now is the best idea?"" said Department of Agriculture, Péter Benedek with an angry tone, ""Then, the farms are bombed and the factories are turned into dust."". Olivér sighed at Benedek's 'mini speech' as he said, ""No other country is dumb enough to attack us."". ""We did."" said Özséb as he kept going, ""We did and we failed by a counter attack, that ashamed-"". ""Don't you dare say anything about <span class=""bb-b"">him</span>."" said Olivér as he was ready to attack the man; but the President made such that wasn't going to happen. 

She said, ""We need to force on the matter at hand. What side to take, which we will make until more countries react."". Some of the people in the room smiled, while others were upset with the holding off the decision. ""You're the President. You must make it now."" said Olivér as he hit the table with his hands. ""I am the President. I get to do what I want."" Adél said as she stool up and said, ""We all need a break to calm down and breath. Does a fifteen minute break sound good?"".

All of them shook their heads and then she said, ""Alright, a fifteen minute break shall start now."". She exited the room to use the bathroom as the other began to leave the heated up room to do their own things. Olivér shook his head as the President's choice was to hold off this great moment to be more friendly with Spain and her allies in the war. He then walked up to Fábián and said, ""We need to talk, bring anyone that agree with us."".</div>"
22088,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-01-28 02:57:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-line;""><span class=""bb-b"">Mexico City</span>

“This is what happens when people don’t fucking listen to advice,” Secretary of State Lillian Mather growled into the speakerphone.  On the other end of the line was the White House. Gathered around the phone were President Norman, Vice President Reed, Secretary of Defense Dalton, and White House chief of staff Rob Brewer. Lillian and her staff were on day three of a weeklong trip in Mexico, easing tensions with the Mexican socialist government and soothing their displeasure at the US’s pivot back towards a conservative government. 

Now she paced around her hotel suite and smoked while she reread the diplomatic cable Sotelo wired to the White House. The fact that Sotelo bypassed the usual diplomatic channels was reason enough for Lillian to be irked, but the fact that this mess was avoidable was ten times worse. 

“Madam Secretary,” said the president. “First off, that language is unbecoming. Second, my remarks on Ethiopia were reviewed by you and you gave the go ahead.”

“You left in the one part I said to remove. The colonialist aggression comment, Mr. President, was way too harsh. Rhetoric like that may work in the military, but in diplomacy you need a much softer touch.”

“Duly noted,” Norman said in a dry tone. 

“Regardless of what we say here, the American people were in favor of it,” Brewer said emphatically. “Recent polling data shows that they loved the speech. They still remember how Spain ran over us in the last war, they want to see us stand tough against them.”

Lillian stubbed her cigarette out in an ashtray and fumed. Brewer was the numbers nerd and fed the president’s constant need for data. Diplomacy was not a science, it wasn't something that could be put in a little box in a spreadsheet and put into a fucking histogram. 

“Words are one thing,” said Dalton. “But they don’t mean anything without something to back up. That’s what Roosevelt meant by the big stick. If you will pardon my paraphrasing that saying but: military talks, bullshit walks.”

“Where are we overall with the military, Mr. Secretary?” Reed asked.

“We are a lot stronger than we were in the last war, but we’re still in the upper echelon of the also-rans of the world. If Spain tried something they’d see that we’re sure as hell not the same country they fought, but we aren’t China by any means.”

“That was why we need China in our corner,” Lillian said after lighting up another cigarette. “Bismarckian Diplomacy 101: Be prepared to back your shit talking up. If this is a world where there are three world powers, at most, you need at least your side if you’re going to pull something like this, and Ethiopia has been cool to us at best.”

“Are you done?” Norman asked. “I’m not hearing a solution in all this. From the way I’m hearing complaints I thought for a minute you two were part of the GOP, crucifying me up on the Hill.”

“You picked all of us for a reason, Mr. President,” said Reed. “We know what we’re talking about.”

“If you wanted ass kissers, you should have stayed in the army,” Lillian grunted before changing gears. “The simplest answer is there is no clear solution to this. Backing down makes us look weak, something I know you do not want us to been seen as. Ignoring Spain could risk conflict. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” 

“On the flip side,” said Dalton. “I don’t think Spain can commit a major military force to fight us and continue with their full-on assault into Ethiopia at the same time. They can still send a sizable naval force to give us an asskicking, but I don't foresee any major ground troops if it gets to that. They've got control of the Suez now, and operations in Africa are moving inland. They need every boot they can get on the ground.”

“Don't forget about the spin,” said Reed. “Spain attacks the US for providing food to starving Africans. They can classify it as war supplies all they like; we still come out looking good. I’ll level with you here, Mr. President; the American people do not give a damn about the people from Africa, but the enemy of my enemy and all that shit.”

“We’ll move forward,” the president said after a long pause. “We will respectfully decline Spain’s proposal for a joint relief mission. We can argue that allowing Spain to monitor our relief effort can set up a problem similar to what they’re accusing us  with repurposed humanitarian supplies going towards Spanish troops instead of the people who need it. I can step back and apologize for the harsh words, but I will not stand down for trying to help people in need. An expanded American global presence is what I campaigned on, and it’s something I honestly believe will lead to less foreign threats. I had to fight two wars on American soil as a soldier. I don’t want to see a third war while I’m commander in chief.”

Then why the fuck are you dragging us into one? That was what Lillian wanted to say. Instead she exhaled a long cloud of smoke and placed her hand on the phone.
 
“I’ll start working on an official response with my team. I say we work on a draft while you all work on one and we’ll piece the statement together from the two.”

“Very good,” said Norman. “After this, Secretary Dalton and I will talk to the Joint Chiefs. I want the Navy to scrap that training exercise they had planned and go on high alert all down the Eastern Seaboard just in case. Madam Secretary, I will make sure this time to follow your advice.”

“That’s all that I ask,” she sighed. “Goodbye, expect a cable in the next few hours.”

She hung up the conference call and reclined backwards in her chair. Just a few months in office and this country was already on the verge of fucking war. That’s what happens when you elect a soldier boy as president. She should have ran for president, but that would have required the voters in America to get over their fear of a woman with power. Oh, well. There was always '88. Lillian finished off the last of her cigarette, stubbed it out, and hurried out the room to find her entourage. They had work to do.


<span class=""bb-b"">Atlantic Ocean
Ninety Miles Southeast of Baltimore</span>

Captain Andrew Lopez stood on the bridge of the <span class=""bb-i"">USS Ranger</span>and looked out across the water. <span class=""bb-i"">Ranger</span> was the latest aircraft carrier launched by the Navy as part of its effort to beef up US military strength. She was named after the eighteen gun sloop John Paul Jones terrorized the Royal Navy with during the Revolutionary War. Top of the line, <span class=""bb-i"">Ranger</span> served as Admiral Boyce’s flagship in the ten ship large Third Carrier Taskforce. Lopez was technically commander of the ship, but since Boyce hoisted his three star flag here he called the shots.

In the sixth months since entering service <span class=""bb-i"">Ranger</span> had stayed in the Northeast as a show of force to the Canadians. At the moment she was headed south towards Key West for training maneuvers with the rest of the Atlantic Fleet. After the choppy winter waters of the North Atlantic, the sailors aboard were anxious to kick off the summer in a warmer climate. Lopez was looking forward to some time in Florida as well. He was a fourth-generation Cuban American born in Florida and raised there before he joined the Navy. The last time he saw his home state was back during the war when he was part of a flotilla of destroyers that shelled a fort outside St. Petersburg into rubble.
 
Lopez’s musings on Florida were quickly cut short when the bridge phone rang. 

“Lopez,” Admiral Boyce grumbled. 

“Admiral,” said Lopez. 

“Hate to do this to you boys, but we’ve got a change in plans. Atlantic Fleet Command just wired us new orders. We are to rendezvous with Sixth Taskforce north of New York with forthcoming orders once we’re there.”

“What’s going on?” Lopez asked. The Sixth was part of the scheduled naval maneuvers as well. 

“No idea, Captain. Fleet Command giveth, Fleet Command taketh away. I’m sending Commander Brinkley up to the bridge with the coordinates for the rendezvous. I want the entire taskforce turned around and on the way within the hour.”

Lopez acknowledged the admiral’s orders and hung up the phone. He sighed and looked over at the radioman on the bridge.

“Sorry, Porter, but it looks like we won’t be hitting up South Beach. Open up the ship wide line so I can give the ship the bad news.”

Alfonso Grijalba Sotelo, Prime Minister of the Second Spanish Republic

Mr. Prime Minister, 

Let me start off by giving thanks to you for your warm words of congratulations. I have received many letters of thanks since my election as president, but none so powerful as yours. It is my sincere hope to turn our country back into the once noble republic it was. Secondly, I apologize for the heated rhetoric I used in my address to Congress. The remarks delivered about Spain were improvised and said in the heat of the moment. I see Spain as a valuable figure in the continued rebirth of democratic ideals in this world.

Finally, I regret to inform you that I must turn down your offer for joint humanitarian aid to Africa. Your concerns of civilian relief being co-opted by Ethiopian soldiers represents a major concern for this administration, but we see a potential scenario of Spanish forces commandeering our supplies for their own use. I instead offer assurances, assurances backed by readily available shipping manifests for those who wish to see it, that only food, medicine, and blankets will be sent to the civilian populace who will be in dire need of it as this war further escalates. It is my sincerest hope that this not escalate into hostilities between our two nations, that both our nations can act as beacons of hope and rationality in a world where both commodities are in short supply.  

Yours, 
<span class=""bb-i"">Michael Norman, President of the United States of America</span></div>"

The Royal Flight had stuck to the sight of land for as long as it could, following the coastline over the jagged brown deserts sand-washed dunes of Somalia. This route was out of the way, a southerly detour on the path to their refuel stop in Persia, but sticking to the land provided them some security. Commercial and Private planes were nowhere to be seen over the Red Sea or the Gulf of Aden; the flights had been grounded for fear of the approaching Spanish fleet. Even the Air Force stayed clear, excepting a few reconnaissance flights or coastal patrols, as they rest of the Ethiopian fighters were kept running on their tarmacs to respond to the first sight of a Spanish landing. The speed in which the African Empire abandoned their home sea was disheartening, but it was inevitable. The Ethiopian Navy had been lost in their short war against the dying Ottoman Empire, and what remained couldn't pretend to put up a fight against the Spanish. Their remaining ships had been pulled into the Strait of Mandeb to hamper any Spanish naval actions beyond the Red Sea. 

Sticking to the continent might have been a futile gesture - the Spanish Air Force could have easily moved against targets in the airspace above land - but the pilots were betting on the probability that their enemy would hold back until they had a better understanding of African defenses. It meant that they did not see the Ocean until they reached the Cape of Guardafuii. Once past that point, after watching the sandstone lighthouse at the tip of the Cape fade into the arid haze behind them, ocean was all they would see. 

Azima sat silently. The low moan of the engine engulfed all other sounds and put her into a sort of trance. She sat near a window and watched the world pass by. It was mid-afternoon now, but the sky was darkened to a brooding grey by the weak rain storm that was passing across the sea. Big, fat raindrops smacked against the round porthole windows from time to time, but they were few and far between. Below them, the sea seemed calm. It went on forever in every direction, with layers of blue and turquoise clinging to the surface above the deep, dull black. 

The children hadn't cried or panicked like she feared they would. Tewodros had fallen asleep, and Olivier sat calmly and stared. The one-armed boy that Taytu had adopted sometimes worried Azima. He was a serious boy - a serious toddler - and that did not seem normal to her. Elani had not caused any noise either, but Azima could tell that her mother-in-law kept quiet out of feelings of fear rather than safety. She sat in her seat. At moments, her eyes darted back and forth across the room. She had spent most of her time fidgeting and mumbling, and If her attention ever stayed on anything for long, it was usually the priests and their holy cargo.

The priests sat around the room-sized box that held the Ark. They kept their swords - curved steel shotels - on their laps at all times. They took their duties with deadly seriousness, but their pious stoicism seemed ridiculous to Azima. Their parents, and villages, and all of the individual churches and priesthoods and ancient monuments that had defined their entire lives were now threatened with invasion, but they didn't seem to care. All that mattered to them was this Ark that had carried on without them for thousands of years.

The buzz of the radio caught Azima's attention. They would hear it occasionally - the jumbled sound of distant conversations. Conversations about the war, there could be no doubt. It was peaceful here, and that made it easy to forget that the continent they had just left was entering a war more horrible than any it had seen before. When she thought about the war, she could feel the discontent stir within her. She wanted to be there, armed and ready to defend her people. She might been a Queen now, but she had spent her early years as a warrior. It was the safety of her son that kept her on the retreat. Above all else, Tewodros came first.

The radio buzzed again. She tried to make out words, but they were to make out over the sound of the engine.

""Can you understand any of that?"" she shouted up to the pilots. The plane was completely open, with its seats cramped up near the pilots so that there was enough open space for the Ark.

""They were hailing some aircraft spotted near Farasan a while ago. Probably Spanish Reconnaissance."" the Pilot replied, raising his voice to be heard over the loud drone of the engines.

""Farasan?""

""Near the Hejaz Yemen border"" he replied. ""They say they spotted them going fast across Yemeni airspace.""

""I wonder what the Yemeni will think of that.""

The pilot let out a laugh that, Azima thought, sounded like a clucking bird. ""I don't think they have a choice. Not like the Yemeni have the ability to do anything. I don't think they have they even have fighters.""

""If they are going south, do you think they are coming for us?"" she asked. 

""They can't catch us from that far away."" the pilot replied. ""We'll be in Persian airspace once we cross over Oman. The Persians have something they can fight back with. Spain won't want to bring them in to this.""

She sat back down, content.

Oman was not that far away, she reckoned. Persia was the gateway to Asia, and beyond the ancient home of the Iranians was a world where Spain had no power. There was something almost heaven-like about East Asia as an idea. It was a place that meant safety for her, where there would be no existential threat hanging over their heads at all times. That the Chinese had managed to pull that off was frightening, and she wondered how much of the invisibility of the eastern communist bulwark was real and how much of it was smoke and mirrors.

The priests began to mutter their prayers again. They had annoyed the pilot by choosing to sit on the floor near their Ark rather than in their seats. ""Suit yourselves then"" he had admonished them, ""When you fall over and crush your skull, you'll have to hope that the Ark can cure your wounds.""

""It can."" a priest had said. He had spoken with crystal clear resolution, and Azima had seen that the priest had got under his skin. She had never considered herself superstitious, but she had to admit that they prospect hidden Ark in the gold-lined wooden box made her paranoid. She tried to imagine what it might do if disturbed from its hiding. Kill? Maim? Damn? Melt their faces, or tear down the remainder of the already crumbling walls of Jericho? The more she thought about it, the sillier the thought seemed to be.

""What is your name?"" she asked the youngest priest, who had been looking around the cabin while his partners sat sagging and inert. This priest's eyes were defiant, and in some ways terrifying. Everywhere he looked, he looked ready to hand out a death sentence.

""Paulos"" the priest replied. He spoke with an overwhelming, resolute confidence. It struck her as insolent - she was his Queen, after all - but the royal niceties were starting to seem trite now that she was fleeing the land that had crowned her.

""What will you be doing with the Ark once you have delivered it?"" she asked.

""We will protect it from the Heathens."" he replied. ""At all costs.""

""The heathens."" Azima repeated. ""The Chinese are our allies. You won't have to worry about them."" 

""China is a country of atheists and pagans."" he replied. ""There will be many there who want to destroy the Tabot of God so to be blasphemous. We will be there to keep that from happening.""

Azima took a deep breath and reminded herself that they were the best thing they had to security at the moment. She knew they would have trouble when they arrived.

Another message came over the radio. This one she heard clearer. ""Flight 1989... be advised... over."" That was their flight number, and they were being ""advised"". Azima leaned in to listen, imagining every possible horror that the coming war could spare them. She thought back to the unidentified planes seen speeding toward Yemen. 

""Say again?"" the pilot responded. It felt like time had slowed down as they waited for a response. She began to stare into the speakers, their chipped black paint and rounded plastic mesh taking on the life of a dreaded messenger.

""Flight 1989. This is... Bosaso. Be advised. We have... targets approaching your position. They are coming in at... speeds from due northwest. Over.""

""This is N-1989. We are not seeing any targets to our northwest. Are we looking at an intercept? Over."" Azima looked out the window, squinting and scanning the rolling grey clouds painted across the horizon. She saw nothing.

""Confirming intercept."" Bosaso replied. ""Targets moving at... estimate, eight hundred kilometres per hour... God... over""

The look on the pilots face set Azima's heart diving into her stomach. He looked more than frightened. He had went pale, and he stared dumbstruck at the radio. His widened, and his mind seemed to wander away for a second. Azima looked around the cabin. She could see the priests, as alert as she was. They did not seem to fear. Elani must have sensed the tension that was building in the small plane, and she began to choke down quiet tears. Tewodros watched curiously, and Olivier sat next to him with an expression that gave nothing away. The Pilot finally replied. ""Repeat that speed again, Bosaso.""

""Eight Hundred Kilometres. Confirmed. Over.""

Azima heard the pilot whisper. ""Eight hundred."" he rubbed his face. ""That's impossible. I don't think I have been in an aircraft that could go half of that. We can't pretend to outrun... we're only going a quarter of that speed! Could it be... from space?""

""From space?"" Azima questioned. Did anybody have that sort of technology. She remembered how storytellers and junk-journalists shared stories about a second Great War being fought outside of the atmosphere. There had even been a novel that took this war to the moon, where battles played out in dusty trenches spanning the dark-pitted lunar seas. But they had always been, very clearly, a collection of silly fictions.

""A meteorite."" he clarified, ""Or a comet... something they misread. No... But... No...""

That made more sense. There had been talk of how Ethiopia could not compete with Spanish technology. When the war was discussed, the tech gap was always one of the first things cited as a problem facing the Africans in the fight to come. Even now, she could imagine Yaqob discussing ways to mitigate the enemy's advantage here. It was easy to completely intellectualize the gap - to consider it in such academic terms that it hardly seemed real. She had never realized what it truly meant. Not until now. The gap could mean more than a simple advantage - it could mean that there was no way for Africans to react. This was that scenario, and it was horrible to contemplate. There was no confirmation, but she knew in her heart that this was their enemy coming for them. Crafts of indeterminate ability with death's head painted on their wings. 

She looked north again , desperate for a glimpse. That was futile. If she saw it, what would she do?

The pilot reacted. He jiggled with the frequency, then picked up the radio. ""Mayday, mayday, mayday!"" he said, clear and loud. ""Enemy aircraft confirmed moving to intercept non-combatant aircraft. We are carrying refugees bound east. Targets estimated at speeds near eight hundred kilometres per hour. Repeat, targets estimated at speeds near eight hundred kilometres per hour. We are at coordinates 13.331066, 53.200498. Repeat, we are at coordinates 13.331066, 53.200498.""

""Buckle up."" he shouted to his passengers. Azima complied, and hastily began to take care of the children and Elani. Nearby, the priests were starting to filter into their seats. 

""This is Bosaso, repeating the mayday at 13.331066, 53.200498. Enemy aircraft bearing down on confirmed Class 1 target. Repeat, Enemy aircraft bearing down on confirmed Class 1 target. All aircraft in the vicinity are on orders to scramble. Repeat message on emergency frequencies. Out."" 

""""Mayday, mayday, mayday!"" the pilot repeated his message to the radio. ""Enemy aircraft confirmed moving to intercept non-combatant aircraft. We are carrying refugees bound east. Targets estimated at speeds near eight hundred kilometres per hour. Repeat, targets estimated at speeds near eight hundred kilometres per hour. We are at coordinates 13.331066, 53.200498. Repeat, we are at coordinates 13.331066, 53.200498.""

""Well then."" he said to them. ""Lets see if these guys have limitations."" he abruptly pulled up, and the engine began to whine. She felt gravity pushing her into her seat, and the reality of what was going to happen here set in. They had no weapons, and their enemy was coming at them with an unheard of technology. Their only hope was the relics of the Ethiopian air force and, a foolish thing she couldn't help but think about, the ancient Relic-Weapon of the Jews sitting right behind them. 

She heard Elani began to shriek, and she held out her arm to comfort Tewodros. With her child's hand in hers, She looked out the window, into the smoke-colored clouds as they passed by the glass. When they came above the first layer of cloud, she looked out in to the distant north and, to her horror, she saw sunlight glint from the metallic surface of something moving very fast.</div>"

The soft thunder of the waves lapping the shore set a low languid rhythm drumming under neath the rattle of a ceiling mounted fan. The cool ocean breeze blew in through the open windows, filling the office with a lingering sweet smell and subtle salty taste. A cup of tea sat on the corner of the table cooling in the ocean breeze. A cracked, hard-boiled egg floated in the tea broth alongside the wiry string of the tea bag.

The pages of a small book turned along side. Dezhi Cao leaning over the pages and reading through the thin contents, studying the mild reports from home. A tickling sensation in the back of his mind batted him about, reminding him that on all accounts, being active at home wasn't much better than standing on the precipice of a war in Africa. A series of large pushes were under way in Russia, and the casualties on both sides were already mounting as the Republic dug in Omsk to hold back the Manchurian based army. He bit nervously as the side of his cheek, raising the cup of tea to his lip. The egg bobbed against his lip as he sipped the tepid water, the herbal bitterness and sweetness of the water bathing his tongue.

He sighed deeply as he turned over to the next page, reaching into the cup for the egg. He put the porcelain tea cup down on the table, as he moved the saucer over.

He did count a blessing though, the weather here was the most consistent he had the pleasure of experiencing. It was far better than Russia.

The egg shell cracked between his fingers. He blindly peeled away the marbled ivory of the shell to produce the brown-stained egg underneath. Raising it to his lips he heard the door knock.

“It's open.” he said, looking up. With a creek the solid-faced door groaned open. Sen Zhou stood in the door way, her face flat and tepid as if some weight bore down on her. Her gaze froze her superior mid-bite on the egg.

“Communications wants to see you.” she said sternly, “Dao Cheng is also there.”

“Cheng? Why'd our aircommander want to be there?” Cao asked, a nervous tensity wrapped through his chest. The tea-soaked egg hung limp between numbing fingers as a cold reality came to.

“I'll explain on the way.” Zhou said coldly, “They both want you.”

Cao licked his limps, his breath shuddered. He looked at the briefing report from home. With a low cold sigh he closed the pages and stood up, taking a bite from the egg. “Alright, what does he want?”

“Communications just received a radio report from mainland Ethiopia.” Zhou said, stepping aside to let her commander through, “The Ethiopian military is abandoning the Suez, Spain has overtaken the defense there.”

The two walked through the command building, their boots grinding along the carpeted wood floor of the main command post. Officers stepped aside, saluting Cao as he went. Zhou kept explaining, “Minutes ago we received a radio dispatch over the general military channels echoing through their military bases, through our partner bases we got word that Spain has dispatched what's believed to be several unidentified aircraft from the outlet of the Suez Canal into the Red Sea.”

“Are your sure you're not concerned about recon flights?” Cao asked nervously, chewing indecisively on the tea egg.

“Hardly.” Zhou sighed, “We heard the hostile aircraft are moving at speeds unknown to Ethiopian forces. There's not a lot of physical description of them, except they were caught heading over Hejaz before their engines died away.”

Cao nodded. His breath felt cold in his chest and the typical tropical warmth of Pemba felt nonexistent as he shuddered under his uniform. “Do we know who made the first report?”

“Not at all. I was just given a mild briefing before sent to get you.” said Zhou, stepping through the door to the sandy outside of the Chake Bay training base.

In the yard soldiers trained by the unit tai chi and their martial arts. The meditative stances of their exercises seemingly blind to the conditions outside their base. The men stared listlessly into space ahead of them as they held out their palms. Their hands and arms craned about their head and shoulders, miming everything from cranes to tigers as they danced on their toes and heels in the African sun.

“What does Dao Cheng expect to do?” Cao asked, watching his men and returning the stray salute as he followed his lieutenant around the side of the command structures.

“I think he wants to intercept them, I don't know where but he seems like he has an idea. He already put word in to mobilize our pilots.”

“I suppose that'll be the action they want.” he laughed nervously.

“Dezhi Cao,” Zhou turned, standing beside the comm station's front door, “This is a serious matter. Don't flake.” she stared up at him with stern disapproving eyes, “Don't break like you almost did during the Turkish episode, especially around the Ethiopians. They hardly have the means to defend themselves against the Spanish. Not like the Turks.”

The front door to comms groaned open as the spring tightened overhead. Cao followed his lieutenant into the air conditioned building.

“Comrade Cao,” a young soldier said, standing up from his front desk. He brushed off his beige uniform as he snapped to salute, “Communications officer Yung Bao is looking for you.”

“I heard.” the commander replied, “At ease comrade.”

“Yes sir.”

The two officers worked through to the heart of the comm station. The clicks and hum of radios buzzed in the air, filling it with a flurry of activity. Somewhere a muted radio sung prerecorded songs and news from China. Elsewhere excited chatter whispered through closed doors. Finally at the end of a narrow hallway they walked through an open door and into a room filled with an array of radio gear.

Standing behind a young private the distinctive tall build of Yung Bao leaned over the central communications hub. A heavy arm wrapped around his chest as one held to his ear a headset. Alongside him in his distinctive dark-blue officer's coat stood Dao Cheng, he looked up as Cao entered the room, giving him a cold and silent nod.

“CO's here.” he said in a low voice, stepping away from the console. He was a moleish sort of person with narrow beady eyes and a long blunted nose. His chin came to an almost curved point. In some strange ways, he almost came off as feminine in an unsettling way.

Bao lowered the headset from his ear and turned. He was in strong contrast to the air-force officer. And quickly he stole dominance, “I've been hoping the Ethiopians have been reporting any updates on their boogies position and direction.” he said, “But so far it's been silent on their part. If they're talking about it, they're doing it on specific channels and not the broad national network.”

“I hear Spanish airplanes have been seen. Zhou filled me in on the basic details.” Cao said, nodding to his lieutenant. He held back a nervous waiver in his tone of voice as he looked between the two. “Where's the situation headed?”

“Well Azima lifted off from Addis just several minutes ago with a flight plan clear to Asia, that much we were able to obtain with our channels to the ambassador and the palace itself. They were heading up towards Socotra last update.

“Just moments after we received reports the Spanish Armada had launched something. Airplanes we're guessing.”

“Based on the pre-emptive reports on their speed I'm willing to guess jets.” Cheng said, his voice was deep and cold.

“The Spanish have jets?” Cao asked, shocked.

“Appears so. A lot of everyone in this world is pretty silent on a lot of things. To date we've only confirmed the US to be capable of producing jet technology.” Cheng nodded, “After the Russian Empire collapsed and after we launched our own program we believe the Russians may have started work, a few people in service to the Siberian Republic have thus far come forward to say something but we haven't found any hard evidence, I can only guess their projects got buried like the Emperor's body.

“On the suspicion I've ordered our own wing of jets to go on stand-by.”

“Well that's good, but where are they going?” Cao asked, stepping in towards his officers.

“I may have an idea off the top of my head, a suspicion.” Yung Bao started. He scratched at his blunt egg round chin as he walked over to a small table, “The aircraft were reported as going over to Hejaz, and going down the coast. Unless they intend of taking the war to Persia for whatever reason then the only target I know of his Azima's aircraft, she and the royal family are en'route to China from Persia. I've also been told through no official channel this airplane may also be carrying something other than the family, but intelligence hasn't been able to tell me what; but no wonder, this has been severely short notice.”

“They're far enough away though, right?” asked Cao, “If they were in any real danger could they divert?”

“Unlikely,” Dao Chen said. This sent a shutter down Cao's spine. The delivery was sure and affirming. His narrow eyes hardly betrayed the absurdness of his own opinion. In them, Azima and the royal family were already in the ocean sinking, or in Spanish escort. “It could take them a few hours if they're going that way. I agree with Bao, this is their highest priority target, given their heading and the haste their moving. Traditional propeller driven aircraft wouldn't hope to catch up or even get that far.”

“So what are you suggesting?”

“Give me the word, and I'll send the men I have idling now out.” the officer said. He wanted this order to be made.

“It'll be the best coarse.” Chen said, “If it's them they're after and they manage and our men get there, you'll be a hero on two continents probably.”

“I can already think of the promotion.” Zhou said teasingly from the door.

“How long until our pilots can get there?” asked Cao

“On full engine speed I imagine we'll intercept Azima's aircraft in under four hours. The Spanish might reach her before hand. So I need this now. Just to take the shot.

“Of course, we'll be forced to land in Addis to refuel before coming home. I'll send a carrier there to meet them.”

The choice felt clearly presented. It was the only decision, even if mired in some doubt. Full intentions had not been laid out. But the only alternative was to surrender the Emperor's family to the Spanish and loose the war before it could be won. But somehow, it felt difficult to make. A hitch clamped shut around Cao and he could feel the choking restraint. His breathing became tense, he groaned to himself.

“M-make the call.” he said, involving himself.

-----------------------------------------------------------

A fiery whine engulfed the tarmac as airplanes crawled across the boiled black asphalt. Ground crews cleared the way as hot air roared. The craft, strange, metal and cut with clean lines and rounded edges turned about, lining up on the runway for take off.

The planes were jets. Designed from the wrecks salvaged from the US endeavors to reclaim the Philippines in the seventies. Their under-wing engines hummed and roared as they crawled across the tarmac to face the northern skies. The over head African sun shone off the dark green hull. The cabin canopy a knife's blade of silver light. Within the helmeted and visored Chinese pilots went through their flight check lists, the rattling thunder of their horses rattling between their legs.

These were fathered by projects in Mongolia. With flying high and fast. Their wings held a subtle angle towards the rear. The metal carefully molded between them and the body until any indication they were separate parts disappeared in organic form. If it weren't for the hidden welds of their metal plates it was if they were cast from the same mold.

“Heron wing 1.” the control tower said, the structure little more than a wooden scaffold, the head a bungalow of plexiglas, “Have you completed your preflight check list?”

“Hero leader, we have.” one of the three said, “We're ready for take off.”

“You are clear for take off. Rendezvous with the Ethiopian royal transport off of Socotra.”

“Copy that. Let's down some old bulls.”

As the hot sun beat down on the South African waters, the British navy cruised through, making it's way for Cape Town. As it began to near the shore, many onlookers began to gather, staring out to sea. Many were confused, and a few were scared, but each and every one of them was simply curious. Not a single person alive in the nation had seen such a large navy before, and nobody knew exactly what it's intentions were. There was a visible difference between those who felt scared or threatened, and those who were confused, or simply thought the ships were passing by. Some, however, instantly fled, reporting the sighting to local authorities. 

Within minutes, police began escorting civilians away from the beaches, while a few coast guard patrol boats began to appear to the South. Local armed forces and militia members began to make their way to the Western shore, while civilians moved inland. The second the British flag atop the ships was visible, however, a noticeable change in attitude could be seen. 

Meanwhile, on board the HMS Titan, the flagship of this particular fleet, officers had already began to dish out orders across their radios, and among all the ships following, soldiers were preparing to storm the beaches of Cape Town. One officer in particular, an older gentleman sporting a mustache that looked more like the end of a broom, had walked out onto the deck, binoculars in hand. As he looked at the Africans gathered on the shore, he let out a small sigh of pity. 

“Sir?” Inquired a baby-faced young man who barely looked old enough to have enlisted. 

“I don't know why they don't just surrender” said the officer, as he looked out over the people gathering on the beaches with old, tired green eyes. “I don't think they can expect to even last half an hour with what they have there.”

“Well, sir” piped in the younger officer. “I think-”

“That was a rhetorical statement, lad.” Said the officer, handing him the binoculars. “Of course they are going to fight. Just as we would if somebody attacked our home. I simply meant to convey that it's pointless.”

Shaking his head at the young man, the officer retreated inside the belly of the ship, where a few other high ranking officers greeted him with a salute. He quickly waved them back to work, and sat down on a cold steel chair, taking a radio into his hand. Giving a nod to a younger man next to him, the old officer began to speak to every ship in the fleet.

“This is Admiral Fletcher speaking. In less than ten minutes, we will began our mission. Before then, I wanted to give all of you a few words of inspiration.” Taking a small break, the Admiral gave enough time for everyone aboard the ships to be quieted enough that his message would be heard clearly. 

“Since the Great Anarchy that threw Britain into despair, we have become a shadow of a nation. We had lost so much because of the Great War, we couldn't even manage to keep our territories under our control. For years, we suffered together, humiliated, while the rest of the world laughed at us. I don't know about you lot, but that is not what I want to be remembered for. It is for that reason that our King has decided this course of action for each and every one of us. We are going to prove that Britain is not the laughing stock that the Great War had tried to reduce us to! With this first step in a larger plan, we will prove that the British Empire is still alive and strong! When you storm that beach today, do not think of it as conquering some innocent, foreign land! The people you are fighting today are people who took the name of our King, and tried to tarnish it! They, in a rash act of rebellion, broke the trust of the monarch, and may as well have spit on his face directly! I don't know about any of you, but I think that is reason enough for this war. Reason enough to kill these traitors to the crown! However, before I send you off, I want to make something very clear. I will not tolerate unjustified killing of civilians. The women, children, sick and elderly have nothing to do with this war. Unless they stand in the way of your own safety, they are not to be injured, by order of the King.”

Taking a heavy breath, the Admiral seemed to pause for thought. With another heavy breath, he spoke one last time.

“Upon clearing the city of any and all armed individuals, you will secure a building suitable to serve as our forward operation base. I believe in each and every one of you, and expect to see all of you once this is over. Now, onward, men. Kill these traitors, and restore the honor of your king!”

As landing crafts hit he water, men began to fill into them, and began making their way towards the beach. Sitting in one of the very first ones was a young man with a round face, wearing a small pair of glasses, and shaking like a leaf. Beside him was a much taller, older male, with features like a rock and an expression to match, who was also trembling, possibly even more so than the smaller male. Looking at each other at nearly the same time, the two tried to calm themselves by trying to laugh at the other, but it was to no avail. In fact, just about every single person aboard was terrified in one way or another. After all, the generation before theirs had never seen war, and the generation before that one seldom spoke of it. 

In order to break the high amounts of tension and fear, an older male at the front tried to get the younger men behind him to relax a bit.

“What's with the long faces, everybody? This is what we joined the army for! Not only that, we get to take part in a major historic moment! Do you really want the story to be 'we all sat in a boat nearly wetting ourselves while going to fight people a lot weaker'? I doubt it! Come on! Raise those spirits! We're on our way to win a war! Not lose one! Have confidence that we will win!”

After a brief moment of silence, the younger man in glasses shouted out in agreement, which seemed to be all that was needed. Soon enough, the landing craft was filled with all kind of cheering, as the soldiers began to realize how right the officer was. However, just as fast as they had gained their confidence, they lost it. In the middle of all the cheering, it seems they had entered a close enough range, as the South Africans began to fire at the approaching landing crafts. While the bullets whizzing over and around the small craft were enough to terrify the men back into silence, the moment they had all feared was to follow seconds after. 

Right as he was about to speak again, the entire craft watched in terrified silence as a bullet managed to land, hitting the officer in the throat, spraying the four or so men behind him in his blood. As he collapsed to the floor clutching his throat, not a single person moved; not even to help. For them, time had seemed to stop completely until somebody finally reacted, pushing their way to the front of the craft and screaming while raising their rifle, and firing blindly at the shore. By the time everyone else had come to their senses, a dull thud was heard, and somebody opened the front of the craft, and they began to get ushered out of the safety of their boat. 

While everyone else had left, the young soldier in glasses was still standing at the back of the craft, legs shaking, and eyes still locked on the spot where the officer had been shot. Noticing the soldier still standing there, the naval officer who had steered the craft to shore quickly pulled on the soldiers arm, which seemed to finally snap him out of his trance. As the sound of gunfire and shouting rushed into his ears, the soldier noticed a voice, and looked at the naval officer with wide eyes. 

“Did you hear me? I said you need to get onto the beach, so I can go pick op the next round of troops!” shouted the officer over all the noise, giving the soldier a small push forward. 

“R-right! Sorry!” Shouted the soldier, getting off the craft, and finally joining the rest of his companions on the beach, avoiding fire from the few South African soldiers who had gathered up ahead.

Instantly, he was being shouted at by the highest ranking person there. “You there! You're a medic, right?”

“Yes sir!” The small soldier in glasses replied. 

“What's your name?” Barked the officer, as a bullet whizzed over his shoulder.

“Neville Bishop, sir!”


“Well, Bishop, you're not a medic anymore! If you try that here, you'll just die. We've already lost three others because they tried to help the injured. Get up here, and join us in this firefight!”

Nodding, Neville made his way up to the front line, and joined the rest of the British soldiers in trying their best to advance up the beach without getting shot. 

Despite the fear that many of the soldiers had, they were able to make it off the beach relatively quickly, managing to drive the South Africans back inland without taking nearly as many casualties as they had originally expected. Since it wasn't much more than a militia and law enforcement, the British military was able to capitalize on their intimidating presence more then anything, by scaring most of the South Africans away following a barrage from the naval forces. 

After completely securing the beach, and once all armor and men were landed, two companies were formed to take the small town to the North and South of the beach, in order to fully secure the area before moving onward to the first target to the East: Fish Hoek.

“Someone is fucking with this city.”

Samuel McKinzey, Superintendent of the Cascadia Territorial Police Force scowled, his thick eyebrows threatening to consume his eyeballs. McKinzey chewed on a large, unlit cigar while he stood at the lectern in the CTPF’s conference room. Crowded in the room were the thirty detectives who made up the agency’s Criminal Investigations Division. Sitting near the back was Mark Echols, who doodled on a notepad with a pen while the chief spoke.

“We’ve had three bank robberies in the last two weeks, and two bombings. All of them were claimed by these fucking people, these Friends of Northwest Sovereignty. Bunch of fucking terrorists! We’re goddamn lucky nobody has been hurt.  I spent the better part of the morning with the FCB, they’re concerned about the crime wave here in this city and they personally blame us. You know why.”

McKinzey took the cigar out of his mouth and let the implication hang. Unlike them, he was an American. He had been police commissioner in Baltimore and New York City before the government tapped him to run the restructured territorial police. 

“They think you’re all a bunch of sympathizers and humps. The FCB is sending a team up here to liaise with us, I assume that means they’ll be telling us how to do our jobs. Every department in CID is getting two Feebs to assist with cases. Here’s how it’s gonna work…”

Echols tuned McKinzey out and instead kept focusing on his notepad. He wrote Sergeant Brian Shea in bold letters a half dozen times. “The Stiff in Surrey” as Braun had called him, was turning out to be a dead end. The US Army sergeant who went AWOL before ending up naked and dead in a field was Echols’ case and he was being stonewalled by the Army. He’d personally driven down to Fort Dixon to try to talk to the base commander and was told by a Major that the case was under Army CID jurisdiction, that Shea’s army records were unavailable to Echols without a warrant. He tried getting a warrant, but a judge had denied it after someone from the Army’s JAG division, even the Army needed lawyers, intervened. So now here he was with a case he couldn’t solve and no clear way to solve it.

While he should have written it off, something was eating at him. Shea’s official rank was Technical Sergeant. Echols spent the day at the 
Vancouver library looking up information about Army ranks and came away with further suspicions. In the US Army, a Technical Sergeant did a variety of things from radio operations to mechanical work, to ordinance handling and disposal. It was the last part that gnawed at Echols. He had no way to know what kind of work Shea did for the Army unless he looked at his records, but it didn’t sit well with him that Shea’s disappearance and death came just before all these bombs and bank robberies started in Vancouver. He had been a murder police for fifteen years; he had learned a long time ago that he could rely on his gut instincts when it came to cases. And now, his gut was screaming that this murder was related to these Friends of Northwest Sovereignty.

But he was getting help. The Feebs were coming. Maybe with some Federal muscle behind him, he could get the Army’s head out of their ass. He doubted it, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.

<span class=""bb-b"">Fort Bragg, NC</span>

The two dozen soldiers stomped in formation down the dirt road. While they ran, Master Sergeant Silas Crystal ran beside them. At thirty-nine he was the oldest man here by almost a decade. Even with his age Silas knew he could keep up with all of the others, and plenty of them he could outrun. He was pushing forty but still felt twenty-five in the wilting southern heat. They took a bend on the dirt road that led uphill. The hill marked the third mile of their five mile run. Silas took in a lungful of air and began to lead the running cadence, the men chanting along with him.

“One, two, three and a quarter.
I've got a date with the CO's Daughter.
One, two, three and a dime.
I told him I'd have her home by nine.
Even though she looks so mild,
Man, oh man that girl is wild.
But CO, CO, he's a sucker.
He don't know that I love to ... kiss her.
Three months later and all was well,
Four months later she began to swell.
Nine months later and out he came,
a baby Green Beret bearin' my name.
CO said with a big ol' grin, 
Be a good dad or be a private again.”

The younger men broke out into laughter as they finished the song. Even though he had heard it countless times, Silas laughed along with them before he turned serious.

“Okay, girls, let’s pick up the pace. Double time to the end of the run!”

Silas sped up and pushed these men, already at the peak of physically conditioning, to dig deeper and go faster until it hurt. After all it was their job to do what others couldn’t. These men and their sergeant weren’t the usual group of grunts. They were Special Forces created during the last war to do things other units couldn’t or wouldn’t do. Silas and his squad ran several missions across the country and into Canada during the war. He was a career soldier, but the things they’d done in the war took what he knew about soldering to the next level.  Later, Silas had showered and changed into his fatigues and in his office at division HQ when someone knocked on the door.

“Sergeant Crystal,” Colonel Robertson said once he saw Silas snapping at attention. “At ease, no need to be formal.”

Robertson was just a few years older than Silas but looked at least ten years older thanks to his full head of white hair and the thick white mustache he wore. The SOCOM structure was set up so that the people at the top were the only ones who really knew the order of battle, but Silas knew the colonel was high up in that order. 

“I brought a guest with me,” Robertson said as he came in.

In his wake was a skinny man in a black suit with a white shirt and black tie. Silas saw the sweat stains on the collar, pale complexion, the Ivy League class ring on his finger, and the impassive way he looked at Silas, almost through him. He had him pegged even before Colonel Robertson said the words that confirmed his analysis.

“Silas, this is Mr. Smith from Washington. He’s with the Agency.”

The Clandestine Intelligence Agency, the US’s foreign intelligence apparatus, had a complicated relationship with Special Forces. They worked hand in hand in many ways. They supplied the intelligence and the Green Berets provided the muscle. Brains and brawn. But several people inside the CIA thought they were their bosses. That led to plenty of bureaucratic sniping that Silas was thankful he had avoided. At least until now.

“Sergeant,” Mr. Smith said as he and Robertson sat down in the chairs opposite Silas’ office. “The colonel was telling me about your team. I like what I’ve heard. Are your four guys still the same ones you served with in the war?”

“Yep,” said Silas. “We went through some hell up north of the border, but we all made it through unscathed.”

“Sergeant Crystal and his men are real familiar with that whole area in the northwest,” Robertson said before he leaned forward. “Silas, have you been keeping up with all that’s been happening up there in Cascadia.”

“It’s turning into a goddamn war zone,” Silas said with frown. “Again. I read about bombings in the paper, some group claiming to be responsible.”

“We have other information,” said Smith. He played with his class ring as he spoke. “Some intelligence has come to light. It concerns something worse than a few car bombs or bank jobs. Our people ran it up the ladder to your people, who are passing it back down the ladder to Special Forces.”

“SOCOM has approved an operation, and I recommended your squad,” said Robertson. “You’re wheels up and headed north at 1900 hours.

“I’m hitching a ride with you,” Smith said. “We’ll brief your team en route. Be sure to pack your mountain gear, sergeant. You’ll need it.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Prince George
Cascadia Territory</span> 

Arthur pulled the car up slowly to the curb. Alex craned his neck around, looking for any signs of another car of person in the early morning darkness. They had driven all afternoon and night across the territory in the car Chris had stolen on the outskirts of Vancouver. None of their cars had the trunk space required for what they had to pick up.

“Wait here,” Alex said softly. “Keep the car running.”

He got out and walked down the sidewalk to a two-story brick building with broken windows and graffit tagged along its side. Arthur nervously tapped his fingers on the wheel while Alex disappeared into the building. Ten minutes passed before he emerged and waved Arthur further up the street and to a loading bay he backed into.

Arthur got out the car and nearly jumped back when he saw the man standing at the edge of the dock. He wore a black trench coat and smoked a cigarette. His blonde hair was slicked back, and he had on large sunglasses even in the dark. Arthur put his height at six-two, a good five inches taller than himself.

“Hello, Arthur,” the man said in a slow and even tone. “Alex has told me a lot about you. It’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Umm… you too…” 

“Jones,” he said, expelling cigarette smoke. “Just call me Jones. I’m a friend, Arthur, a friend of the Friends, if you want to call me that.”

“Mr. Jones has helped us out a lot,” Alex said from behind Arthur. “He’s where we get our guns and the stuff for our bombs.”

“You’re quite adept at making bombs, Arthur. That’s what Alex tells me, anyway. Says you’re going to school for engineering. Is that where you learned to do this stuff?”

“Not really,” Arthur said nervously. “I just… as a kid… I was always taking things apart and putting them back together. I just learned how things work. A bomb, at least the way I do it, is just like a clock radio or a television. Wire it just the same.”

“So you’re a natural? Good. Come with me, Arthur.”

Jones wrapped a large arm around Arthur’s soldiers and guided him into the building through the open bay door. Jones stopped short of a small crate sitting on the concrete floor and motioned towards it.

“Open it up.”

Arthur bent down and stopped when he saw the biohazard warning on the crate. Jones goaded him on and Arthur, his pulse racing, opened the crate. Inside was a metal container the size of a milk jug.

“VX nerve gas,” Jones said with a hint of pride in his voice. “It’s not much, but it’ll be more than enough. If you can work wonders with plastique and wires, let’s see what you can do with this.”</div>"

The explosion of weapons fire echoed in the distance like the wash of cascading waves of gravel. Low and guttural, explosions burped through the street. A great wave of violence burned in the western streets of Omsk. The devastation of conflict dragged its length tail through the former city edge.

The earth was a patchwork of mid-spring mud and puddles of oil and blood. Turning roads into islands of asphalt littered with the abandoned refuse of conflict. Trees stripped naked of bark swayed in the light breeze, their young spring leaves danced in the open sunlight that cut the clouds and fell on the wasteland below, shining in the puddles that had accumulated. Down the road a water main gushed water from a broken artery. The droplets catching the sun, shimmering like diamonds in the pounded landscape.

Scuttling down the roadway a triage of tanks crawled along, cleanly ignoring the debris the littered the road and grinding them down into the cement. Their olive green hulls faded away to black and dark steel gray. Behind them marching in columns a platoon of infantry, their guns at their shoulders as they scanned the street side. By no means ancient like the city-center, with the distinct lack of Imperial Pompousness the edge of Omsk resembled much more an industrial shield and block against the countryside. Built more with a mindset for industrial efficiency, even in common commerce, nothing held an air of romantic impressionism. The cinder block walls had fallen inwards from bombs and shelling. Over head planes roared in the afternoon sunlight, only confirming it as the Chinese hand stretched outward.

“Tsung, take us off to the left, into the airfield.” Song shouted over the rumble of the Tei Gui's engine.

“Yes, comrade.” Tsung obliged. Slowly the steel hull turned aside off the road, across the broken sidewalks and onto the muddy grassy fields.

“We're clear here, right?” asked Lin.

“Recon came through and said the Republic had abandoned this position. Command wants us to take it to finish off here.” Song said in a low voice, “We're going to find out.”

Somehow, Tsung didn't feel so sure. Looking out through the foggy, muddied windows he drove from he could tell the airport was in no means great shape. Its sagging and bent control tower was a dismal shrine to a gone era, the concrete was chipped and stained. At a point along it the shell was sheered and broken, and clinging just barely by iron supports it leaned to the side.

The terminal and hangers he could see beyond were empty shells, devoid of much of its former structure. Twisted metal hulks littered the field and runway, the remains of an air force the Republic attempted to muster at the last minute here, but could not deploy.

The ruin caused Tsung's heart to sink, and he felt a bitter taste in the back of his throat. From behind him in the turret Sung commentated his observations on the radio to the unit and men behind them. Looking back, he saw the commander peering through binoculars at the former airport, hand pressed against his ear.

The tank rocked over the uneven terrain as they bore over brick and fallen tree alike. Tsung watched through the windows as the bombed concrete walls drew in closer. Beginning to climb up over the piles of debris they drew into the airport proper. The grinding of metal groaned through the carriage as the weight of the vehicle folded over loose rebar and shuffled rock. The scratched and moaning of the sheered bones of Russian architecture dug ghostly at the belly of their beast. Like the nightly scratching of trees against windows, claws in the night.

Raising softly, they dropped low in a snap. The entire hull crashing downwards in a deafening crash as they cleared the peek of their climb and slid down. Tsung watched alongside him as the treads of their partner teetered down into the chalky debris. He heard the low boom of its weight on the stone, chalking the bricks underneath and clouding the air in blooms of ashen dust.

When the armor finally came to a stop in was in the middle of the open run way. Through the murky glass Tsung watched the men outside run towards the hangers and still standing buildings. Their weapons raised as they fanned out across the tarmac and the grass. The tensity he felt building in his chest was must like that he felt in his chariot's engine. The low constant hum and rumble teetering on the supposed edge of explosion. At his hands he could charge it forward, unleashing all its horses to move several tons where ever.

He was waiting and expecting their enemy to do the same. That from somewhere hidden or from above several tons of Russian metal would come roaring in. That the engagement would be as it was on the way into the city itself. It was terrifying. A sticky black dread oozed out into his blood, turning it ice cold and thick, making him woozy. Yet some where, there was an excitement that relished in this feeling. The uncertainty, priming the pump for adrenaline and fill him with a warm numbness as shrapnel fanned against the armor at his side. It believed he was immortal in this shell, that there was no fear. And it fought against the knowing tempest that it only took the right explosive in the right spot, or a large enough shell to turn this fantasy around and to become a horror story. A grenade pitched into the barrel, a rocket to the treads to immobilize them. A large enough charge to drive over and shoot his guts up through the hatches. A high-powered rifle in the powder magazine. All chances.

But, he had been drilled to ignore such chances. But he knew it could happen. It scared him again.

Through the foggy dirtied glass of the port the washed out men who had dived into the ruins reemerged. In the distance he saw one raise his hand, giving an all clear to them.

“Field's clear, we can take a breath.” Sun Song said, sitting up and lifting open the hatch. A breath of cool fresh air washed quickly inside the cabin. Washing out the stale, still, hot diesel choked air with a whoosh.

“Great, what are we doing now?” Lin asked.

“I'm calling in this position is secured and to see if we can get a Siberian regiment in to fill us in so we can move out.” Song said with certainty, “If the lot of you need to take a break, do so now.”

“I need to take a piss...” Tsung said nervously.

“Good to know.” his commander sneered, “Go on ahead.”

Tsung nodded, relieved. His bladder had been slowly feeling like someone had been filling it with sand. Unlatching the hatch over his seat he through open his port, and crawled out.

The Russian spring air felt refreshing against his skin. For all the cordite and distant fumes that caught itself in the crisp breeze it was far fresher than inside the tank, where the sweat of a full crew and the leaking exhaust of the engine produced an all to nauseating soup in the air. Probably lethal in any other setting.

His boots hit the hard ground and he staggered for his balance. “Tsung, by the way!” Song shouted from atop the turret of the tank. “Take this.” he ordered, throwing at him as he turned a long wood-stocked gun.

Tsung was barely quick enough to catch the flying assault rifle before it collided with his face. Cradling it awkwardly against his chest he staggered back wide-eyed. “We might know it's clear out here but I don't know where you're going to pee, so might as well take cover. The dirt monkeys will no doubt come running if they hear gun fire, so just shoot widely if a Republican steps out.”

“Uh, but magazines though...” Tsung uncomfortably, remarked. He wrapped the strap up around his shoulder.

Song nodded, holding out a pair of magazines with his hand. “Probably more than enough.” he grumbled, “But bring them back. We're mostly all high explosives in here and we basically got a magazine a man in here.”

“Yes, comrade.” Tsung smiled happily, stepping around to the side of the tank and grabbing the metal-cases.

“Alright, go do your business.” ordered song, dismissing him.

The driver bowed, sliding a magazine into his pocket as he loaded the other into the CP1960. The action clicked satisfyingly, accepting the magazine.

Tsung moved along the tarmac, looking out over the landscape worriedly looking for any hint at danger. Perhaps the distant bodies of soldiers marching towards them. Perhaps the glint of a sniper's scope. He hoped – if with severe dread – that he might see a Russian tank coming to seize the position the Chinese stole under their nose.

Chunks of bricks ground under his feet as he stepped into the bomb-gutted ruin of one of the airport terminal buildings. Glass ground under the soles of his feet as he entered into the monstrous throat of a cathedral hall. Stalagmites of glass hung down from the gaping windows as he strolled through. Alongside a bank of terminal waiting room seats, coated with chalky white concrete powder say embedded into the cratered ground an unexploded artillery shell. Keeping a wide berth around the likely unstable ordinance, he swore he could hear the shell hiss to itself, as if its metal shell was full of angry vipers.

It came unto him as he walked over a pool of blood on the ground as he went deeper into the halls that he had not seen his enemy once. At least not personally. The presence of the Republican army has always been indirect. The mine he drove over. Men who fled from them in the distance. Gunner's nests in the trees and shrubs in the country side. But not once had he had to shoot out with them, or fight close in the streets. This image of war ran almost contradictory to the stories he was told of war, of the illustrations back home of bloodied revolutionaries battling the Japanese and Kuomintang armies seemingly at personal distances in the street.

His tour had been less defined by the constant scream of bullets and seeing one's own blood gushing through his stomach than it has been cradled in the armored belly of a tank, expecting the uncommon condition of the Russian Republicans having any means to break their armor.

He found a private quarter in a dilapidated office, or closet. He couldn't tell given the level of looting that had taken place. The walls had been stripped bare, including the dry-wall itself leaving only the metal framework and the severed electrical wires bare. What remained to decorate was a random litter of unrecognizable shards of metal and bits of plaster ceiling that had fallen in. What the room did have though was a hole high enough that he could look out and watch his companions mill about in the sun outside. And the hissing artillery shell between him and them. He hazarded that if it were to go off, he was far enough away it couldn't possibly hurt him.

Hitching the assault rifle across his back, he pulled down his pants. Going about the act of urinating. He sighed in relief as the swelling feeling of his bladder let up. The welling fullness subsided, and that feeling of being full of sand ran empty until he finished.

Finishing, he pulled up his trousers and buttoned them closed. Whipping his hands on the side of his pants he turned to leave, only instead to walk to the door he felt a great force hammer the side of his body, shooting him to the side as a whistling explosion rocked through the air with a violent force. Smoke and debris tore across his vision as he sailed through the air, crashing into the far wall. The steel girders that reinforced Omsk airport's walls clashed and shuddered violently at his weight. His ears screamed in agony against his head as all around him his world shook and rattled.

He screamed, but no sound met his ears. Instead only the shrill constant whine drilled his head as echoing shock waves hammered at his side. Chipping bits of plaster and concrete stung his exposed skin like hornets. He shut his mouth tight as he breathed in a thick cloud of pulverized plaster. The barrage continued, and he knew he has to get out.

Coughing and sputtering he threw himself off from the wall he had been packed into and peeled out into the hallway. He turned to run for the tarmac but found it to be ablaze with fire. The wind in the building rushed into the building flames that lapped hungrily up the sides of the airport terminal. And once more, he could see the smoke expand and billow at every blow of an explosion. If he was to leave that way, he knew there he would die. He spun on his heels and ran against the draft of hot hair burshing against his face. He felt the rippling explosions of ordinance against his back as he ran through the halls. Blindly, his head down and hands over his face.

His hearing came to as he ran. He could faintly hear the muffled screams of artillery shells falling over head and knew then what was going on. The Russians were shelling them, and they had a too clean fix on the airport. With any luck Sun Song and the rest would be able to escape the damnable barrage. One of them could drive, he hoped. Just enough for them to move.

His feet carried him out across broken glass and bent metal and onto muddy grass.

He flinched as he felt the hammering of air against his back as he ran. He slowed to turn around, only to find behind him the ruins of some apocalyptic castle engulfed in fire behind him. His heart choked in his chest, imagining what Hell his comrades were experiencing under the Russian fire. But his concerns were cut short as behind him another shell landed, reminding him full well that he needed to move. And he continued to run. Fleeing across the cratered and uneven lawn of the airport. Bounding over park benches and fallen trees. Weaving around hazards, and keeping ahead of the ring of ordinance fire that seemed to grow along his tail.

He ran until his boots hit concrete again. He kept going until the crystal crackling of glass ground under his foot. He would have kept going, shooting for some backdoor until he was clear of the danger. But the world under his weight gave way, and he felt his balance loosen and he plunged into darkness. He caught a glimpse of a smokey blackness under him, and then his heat cracked against something, and his world went dark.

…...

There were voices. Deep Russian voices. They seemed questioning, blunt as they grunted out their words. Tsung couldn't make out what they were saying, his head swimming in a haze of confusion, and a tacky wet sensation plastered across his forehead. He groaned, struggling against the numbing pain that rocked his head to listen to what was being said. Grunting, he tried to sit up. Apparently his attempts were funny to someone as laughter boomed in whatever dim echoing cave he found himself in.

He had been taught Russian, or sort of. Since the acquisition of Outer Manchuria several years ago, it became an interest the military took even deeper on the pretense that they may have to deploy more men to the Manchurian region to police the new Russian citizenry. Tsung could speak it, they slated him as a possible translator. But be damned if he felt it was rocky.

Coming too, and his head coming out of the haze he tried. It was his one trick to know whether he was among Siberians, or Republicans.

“Uzkoglazy lives!” roared a man loudly. His voice swam with as much strength as vodka. Bounding in laughter, but nothing nice.

“So he does.” crooned another. In the dim haze he could see a darkened figure come into view, blocking out what weak light there was. Tsung sat in dazed, horrified confusion as he watched the shade watch him, “Perhaps they are not nearly as weak as we thought.” he hissed cynically. Tsung could smell the booze on his breath.

Tsung opened his mouth, trying to choke out words to defend himself. To ask a question. But before he could he felt cold hands wrap around the collar of his uniform, and he was thrown out of the hole he was in. With a gasping 'umph' he landed with a heavy pound on a concrete floor, looking up at a ceiling supported by steel beams. Looming over him stood a slim scarecrow of a man. A thick mustache as messy as any sewer rat Tsung had ever saw lay across the spindly heron-faced man's upper lip, totally obscuring his mouth completely in its long, wild whiskers.

He was dressed in the uniform of the old Empire. That alone brought the realization of who he was with washing over him. He had stumbled into the hands of the Republic. The reality hurt him more than any artillery shells, and it froze his heart laying there as he lay stunned, staring wide-eyed at the man looming over him.

“I should cut this communist bastard right here on the floor!” he bellowed loudly, looking up to address the room.

“And you will not, Yuri!” shouted another. His accent much lighter on the Russian. But all the same European in some way, “He is my guest, and my guests will be treated well!

“This is my house, after all. And all men are welcome in my house.”

“This is hardly your house, this is just a shop basement you took over.” someone laughed in the distant. Tsung turned his head to the side, seeing where he had ended up. What he saw were tables, or something like them. Rough stacks of detritus lines up in semi-neat rows and mismatched stools around them. Puddles glistened in amber lamp-light, and there was a strong hop smell in the floor.

“Then pray this Kitayoza does not meet me in the field. I have a score to settle with his ilk.” Yuri threatened above him, pointing at Tsung's shocked face.

“If you have to settle a score with his ilk you might as well take it to Vladivostovok too.” laughed someone, “And then to Moscow. That fucking red party won the elections, remember.”

“Bullshit to the politicians, I will have them later. But the Chinese are now.” Yuri grumbled loudly. He made no secret his hatred to Tsung and his kin as he stepped off from over his aching body.

“Where am I?” Tsung asked. His Russian quivered on the tip of his tongue. He had no doubt he sounded like some choked dog to the native speakers. They no doubt found it amusing as they laughed at his attempts.

“Stand up and see.” the softer accented man invited. He turned his head to the direction it came from, finding only rows of battered, discolored wooden crates.

“R-right...” he stuttered, sitting himself up. His entire body ached. His muscles screamed in protest as he pulled himself up and his head spun. His world went crazy as he reached his feet. All weight exploded out of his skull and all sensations spun in a whirlwind of confusion and sickening disgust.

The wound in his head throbbed at every beat of his heart, and his entire body felt like it had been filled with lead. He threw himself onto the crates, using them for support. He looked down at his dust and mud caked feet. Blood and dripped onto his uniform, and he worried it was his.

“You walk like my mother after a few beers. Control yourself, I don't like blood on my hands, even if its accidental.” the voice said. It tried to stay polite, but there was a ring of condescension to it. A sick displeasure for Tsung.

He looked up at its owner, finding before him a wide-built figure. His wide flabby guy spilling out over his drab olive-green army pants and stained, tight fitting shirt. “Who are you?” he asked, looking up at his face. He was a walrus of a beast, with swollen cheeks and a heavy milky-white beard. A head of blonde hair nested atop his head.

“A simple entrepreneur.” the man shrugged. He reached over and grabbed a crack glass from the crate counter and began whipping down the inside with a gray rag. He looked up at Tsung all the while. His blue eyes glowing with a sort of fatherly, uncle-like glow. He by no nature harbored any ill-will to him, despite his tone.

“A what?” Tsung asked.

“Someone who I'm sure your government isn't fond of.” the large man repeating, adapting a corrective tone. “I – like you – are not from around here.” he continued, “Though I bet I am more related to Russia than you are. I am German by birth. You?”

“Han...” Tsung hesitantly replied, “Er, Chinese.”

“Figures.” the German laughed with a warm smile, “You don't need to be afraid of here. I like to think I serve all people and that I am a nation inside a nation. I am not at war with the Republic, I am not at war with the Chinese, and I am not at war with Siberia. In all credible respects, I would like to be on amiable terms with the agents of all parties. So I discourage the war being carried over on my soil.”

“You're soil?” Tsung asked.

“My soil.” the German smiled, “Or, anywhere I happen to set up shop. It's not good business to say the least, and it would in the long term be better if I kept in one spot. But that's only in normal circumstances. And we, my friend are not in normal circumstances. Hell, Russia is hardly a normal state. Hasn't ever been in the last decade.”

Tsung was wrapped by confusion. He held a blank look, staring the anonymous German in the eyes with a sort of distant bewilderment. For coming out of unconsciousness, something was moving too fast.

The man behind the counter sighed, “Where there is war, there are people who need to drown their experiences.” he said, “There are people who just need to feel human again. For the past decade we have seen wars flare up and die rapidly, like flowers for mourning. From Europe to Asia and America the Wild Hunt has ridden signaling war from beginning to end.

“As terrible as it is, I do want to provide a service. And that is of comfort. I am talking about serving alcohol.”

A spark shone in Tsung's eyes, and he nodded. “I am to serve anyone of any side. The local Mafiya has been so kind as to ignore me. But that I imagine is because I sit in a part of Russia they don't like to operate heavily in: in the battle field.”

“I-I'e heard of this Mafiya...” Tsung said.

“Who hasn't.” replied the German, “I've heard gossip that they're still murdering here in Omsk. But they've for the large part left to keep out of the way. Some circles are saying they're pulling in westward. Something's happened, they're wanting to do something with all of this.”

“I... uh... saw a burned body in Omsk. He had a message tied to him. Would that be Mafiya?”

“Fucking Hell it is, god damn chink.” spat someone from the corner. Tsung turned about. Looking across the field of tables to a lone man in the corner, “My partner went missing a few weeks back. I heard the Siberians found his body a while back. Apparently someone reported him as a Communist Ally. Fucking bullshit! He wasn't!” he shouted drunkenly.

“As you can clearly see.” the German said.

“I have another question.” Tsung said, his heart fluttered in his chest as he recovered from the shelling, and the excitement of ending up here.

“Ask.”

“Can I leave?”

“Anytime.” the German said, “I got friends who should see you out peacefully for fifty meters. Beyond that you and any other guest to be, or having been are on your own and can do whatever.

“but right now, I would wait to confirm today's shelling will calm. Republic already shelled. Your people should be responding soon. Care for a drink in the meantime?”

<span class=""bb-b"">Over Spanish Africa</span>

The low howl of the engines accompanied the droll steady pace of the aircraft as it sailed over the golden sea of African desert below. Rolling dunes ran rippling across the sandy sea below. Bending and turning about like the path of a snake. The coils slithering along under the hot mid-spring sun. There was a surreal dryness to it all. From the dunes below to the rocky mountains more distantly. All of it was a fine switch of the painter's brush below them and thinning clouds made a thin shroud between them and the surface as they flew.

For Sin Wu, the expansive desert below did nothing to make them forget where they were. What land they were over. The loud drumming whine of the engines was no mask they were effectively in Spanish airspace. And it was yet to be tested if Spain had the capabilities to respond to them. Or even notice them.

It had been gossiped all the past few days as the Chinese high-altitude bombers ran reconnaissance missions over the Spanish territories and the devolving front on the Sinai peninsula. They'd flown over to see the entire Armada bleeding out into the Red Sea like an uncontrollable wound after the scab on the Suez Canal had been picked. The bleeding didn't stop, and it would keep going until the Spanish lion drained the blood from Africa. That is what was feared. He and the crew whispered fearfully about it. Things wouldn't improve.

Yet command kept cynical. They weren't ready to commit all the way and Congress had decided to make no significant moves. “It will die off in the next few weeks.” they affirmed repeatedly during debriefings.

But now they were getting the tests they had promised. Further out now. Russia was now no longer on the priorities list as their play ground. Africa was it now. Sin Wu didn't necessarily understand the politics. Or what diplomacy was being under taken.

The cool comfort now though, thousands of meters above the surface below was that here in the Saharra there was no activity. No obvious signs through his scope of the precariously hanging Peephole that the Spanish had the obvious means to detect them. But that was the thing. Obvious.

China – nor them – knew the exact extent to Spanish abilities.

Wu's breath rattled between his teeth as he looked down passed his camera. There had been concerning little to photograph. He doubt the Bureau would appreciate hundreds of images of empty sandy desert.

Wu felt his weight shift as the bird banked to the side. He watched through his station as the horizon crawled steadily lower in his vision. The dark emptiness above the Earth marching down like an opening hole threatening to swallow all. His gloved hands gripped the side of the bubble as they turned. “We're making a sweep back.” the inter-plane communications chirped with static.

“We're going to be performing a wide turn. We're likely going to straighten out over the Atlas mountains.” their navigator reported in, “Eyes open Wu, maybe we'll see something.”

“Copy that, comrade.” Wu replied into his headpiece. His flight mask felt constricting against his mouth, like he could do little more than mutter. He used to worry if the rest of the crew could hear him.

The desert landscape shifted below as it was devoured more by that horizon line. The bands of gold and orange made by the refracting sun burned up from the icy distances of the atmosphere. It formed a border, precariously thin between Earth and Space. Sights such as these made Wu wonder if he would go higher, and cut through this invisible armor.

The jagged and wrinkled landscape of the rocky Atlas Mountains drew slowly into view below as the empty bomber completed its banking turn. The Atlas mountains cut below them a scarred cut of dry caked Earth. Forming a trail of scarred rock.

Wu looked down on them now, hands on the camera as he squinted down into the turning valleys and jagged dusty peaks. From so high up, the entire range looked indistinguishable. The shadows cast by the mountain faces from the spring sun felt almost flat. And below the twisting and turning gullies could hide anything. Roads, train rails, bunkers. But glaring down at the wasteland, he had the crawling sensation that the range was almost too much a wasteland for anything like that. That the Sahara beyond would defeat any army for them.

But there was the maybe he thought about. This splendid isolation might hold something. Could it shoot them down? Could it see them? It was frightening maybe. The thought of watching the Earth below crashing up to meet him as he fell the many miles back to Earth made his head spin worse than any feeling of vertigo could. He held back his stomach, and took deep calming breaths turning to his camera.

The kept the path for some time. No real landmark or anything of military value passed under them. The mountains just marched on. Wu was beginning to write this voyage out as another empty mission. Command wanting to chase ghosts in some desert. Or not wanting to risk the possibility Spain might have something if they passed over mainland Iberia.

But something as thin as a thread showed between the rocky crags. Wu snapped a quick shot of it. Zooming in close and continuing. Train tracks. “This is Wu, we got something down below.” he said quickly into his microphone.

“What did you get?” the pilot asked.

“Looks like train tracks. Running north-south.” he replied hurriedly, “Can we track it?”

There was a long pause on the other end. They must be discussing it. “Train tracks in the desert sounds strange, especially if we haven't seen them earlier. We'll give a short follow and return back.” the captain called back.

The plane banked suddenly to the side. Wu could feel himself be thrown against the side of the bubble as they moved to keep in line with the tracks he saw below. The great darkness of the space above again opened violently as he turned to meet it. And with quick grace, they were on their way south.

Wu returned to the camera. Turning in further with the zoom, trying to get the most of the opportunity.

They trailed the winding tracks as it cut between desert mountains. Switching gracefully through the dry cuts of the range until spilling out in a softer mountain landscape. Dramatic and sharp against the boulder strewn sands the tracks passed through – or over – a large face of mountain, charging straight south through the sandy ocean, holding bunkers of plateaus and solitary mountains that stood to defy the sands of erosion.

Almost on its own, the rails lead a straight path. Wu kept the cabin updated, offering his excited reports and updates as it went. The black freckles of boulders in the sand passing under neath like smooth shield-like mountains.

It ran and ran. Until the landscape changed. “We got something.” he reported eagerly, diving into his camera. Furiously photographing the black, dark mesa far below.

Shining dimly in the sun from far up, but exposed in the magnification of the lenses banks of aircraft sat on long black runways in the desert. Paved roads mixed in among winding rails as waiting tanker trucks and tanker trains sat idle in the yards below. An excited sort of activity drove below as jeeps and trucks drove along the desert pathways. Wu watched in stunned amazement, and subdued anxiety as the object below them carried on an aura of life. Aircraft touched down and lifted off. Large cargo-size aircraft waited on the runway, waiting to receive orders to go.

The mesa was a nucleus to a nexus of desert activity. To what he didn't know. He held his breath, clenched his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Fearing that a wrong slip may alert the Spaniards below.

He didn't know what they had.


<span class=""bb-b"">Urals</span>

“I understand your concerns, and I've already acted on them.” Makulov said as he sat down at the dining room tables, across from Ullanhu, “It is after all not often our village has been attacked, or known. And I got men on the problem.”

Ullanhu glowered at the general, biting nervously on his lip. The former imperial general was a large man, more so than he. And his right hand was an even larger figure, an imposing golem of a figure. “I understand, but I can't help but feel simply patrolling out into the woods is not nearly enough.” the Chinese agent said. In the far corner of the room Konstantine's wife stood over a wood counter, pouring out cups of warm black coffee for the two officers. She was a homely woman, and she hummed a low song as she worked.

“It's the only thing I can do.” Makulov responded defensively, “There's not much else I can do until we know who attacked up that night. And that's hard to do if we don't have bodies. They dragged them all off in the night, you know that as well as I. Both of us were out the morning before.

“I've allowed you to move into the village, you've gotten that much of my trust.” the general continued, his voice dropping to a low growl, “I wouldn't advise you to test my patience.” he grumbled.

“I have no intentions of doing that. I just want my safety – the safety of this community – assured. They know who I a-”

“We can't confirm that!” Makulov reminded, slapping his palms on the table. Behind him Ivan shifted to the side, craning his head to the side and measuring up the scrawny Asian. Ullanhu shot a nervous look up at him. When they first arrived he had ordered him to strip and threw him in an icy pond. Jun had tossed him in, and since Ullanhu felt he wasn't on good terms with any Chinese agent.

“Can I have confidence knowing you're trying.” Ulanhu spoke softly, “You have men in Yakterinburg, don't you? Could you start there as a source?”

“I do, but no one's been talking about this. Not in the underground circles. Not on the Mafiya circuit.” he confided. His tone of voice was testy and impatient. “I have gotten more reports on there being some sort of shift in the regional Mafiya gang. Like something happened. Some people are saying the Horse Lord was killed. Others are saying an angel has fallen but neither have had any confirming evidence.”

“An angel has fallen? The Horse Lord is dead?” the Mongol asked.

Makulov nodded as the Russian wife deposited on the table a tin tray of hot mugs of coffee. Ullanhu looked at the mugs with an alien look of disgust. The thick black liquid looked hardly appetizing. Its smell was powerful now it was under his nose. “There is a group in the Mafiya,” Makulov continued, “who serve their mysterious Bog secretly. They call themselves his archangels.”

“I think I'm familiar with the concept. But we always figured them a boogyman myth in China. Something to keep the foot soldiers in line.”

“No, they're real.” assured Makulov, taking a sip of coffee.

“And the horse lord?” Ullanhu asked.

“<span class=""bb-i"">Verkhovaya Gospodi</span> in our language. If he's indeed dead then I'd say your friend is still alive. Does this make you feel at ease?”

Jun could still be alive. That was a thought that struck Ullanhu. He was comforting to know. Yet, he still had no way of calling back. And someone still had his radio. “A little.” he said.

“In a few days I imagine we should know.” the general said, “Until then, keep patient with me. I know what is going on more than you. I don't advise you encourage me to act prematurely. China may have cleaned out Omsk, but they still haven't gotten any further than there.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Surgut oil fields</span>

The derricks and platforms of hundreds of oil wells cluttered the field. For miles they marched on between muddy pools, and ponds of dark thick water. The grind and pumping of pistons and jacks pumped on in the afternoon sun, beckoning to the ears the call to join the march of industry. Even with an on going war, the Republic needed to feed its own demand. Though many wells sat silent, the presence of the many hundreds clustered around islands of forest was a sight to behold. Across the Siberian flat lands they stood. Yawning, bowing sentinels of the Siberian countryside, burrowing deep into glacial carved wilderness. Digging down atop where forests once stood.

Tsein Huang stood at the edge of the wilderness looking at the fields. A CP1960 replacing his flamethrower, there was too much that was flammable around to risk it. He'd argued, but it was final.

“It looks like there's five armed guards wandering between the derricks.” said a rifleman, as he ran up alongside Huang, “No more that I can see.”

“Then this isn't a battle. This is simply a walk in the park.” spat Huang as he crouched on his knees. “What about the roads in?”

“Last truck convoy left twenty-five minutes ago. If they keep schedule another will be back in the next forty-five minutes.”

“More than enough time.” Huang clapped, smiling wide.

“If there's only five we'll move in down the middle, I'll lead. But I want the gate house in secured. Take four men out and take the gate. Kill any who resist.” he ordered. He spoke in a heavy tone. There was a high strung tension to it. He wanted to move, the observation was getting too much.

The subordinate bowed, and sprinted off to the side. With a hushed voice he called out four names he knew. Huang looked behind him to watch his four picks rise from the bushes. From the brambles and branches, and from behind fallen logs Huang saw the men Yun-qi had trusted to him.

As the group marched off along the trees Huang stood back up, hoisting the rifle up to his chest. “Comrades!” he hollered in a loud voice, raising a fist. Obediently his men rose, twigs snapped under the weight over the squadron.

(<a href=""https://youtu.be/wGJ_y4W2d3U"">Action Tiem?</a>)

“Wide spacing, take the wells!” he barked, stepping out passed the trees. His boots hit the ground and he was out at a brisk march. Behind him the thudding of his men on the thawing ground followed suit. The sky over head was clear. And so were the fields.

Huangs heart drummed along in his ears. A full warmth hit his blood as the promise of excitement welled. It was he and his objective. The men at his back were phantoms to help him.

The coming draw of the engagement to be lifted him on his feet. He no longer felt he was jogging. Neither was he running. He felt himself fly across the field. The plates of his flak armor thudding against his chest. The grinding song of steel of steel sang into his ears. In an ephemeral moment he felt as his ancestors had felt a millennium ago. Warriors on the move, on the war path to conquer the west. To conquer Russia.

He kept moving. The sensation had to stay. It had to be forever. For him.

As they drew to the scaffolding of the wells he heard the shouts. Panic and shock exploded in the field as workers dropped what they were doing and fled the running machinery. Their pale yellow helmets and soft blue coats bobbing across the gravel and the cement as they dashed for trucks to make an escape. He heard a whistle blare. Somewhere in the distance gun fire and a siren.

It was the sound he wanted. The rifle rose to his shoulder and he sighted down the trigger, grinding his feet into the gravel ground as his finger wrapped the trigger. Clap clap. Clap clap. The automatic weapon fired in bursts. Huang fingering the trigger, sighting down the fleeing oil field workers. He was fifty meters away now, and they dropped to the ground. Collapsed against the trucks. In swift seconds the workmen hit the ground before they could drive off.

His men swept around him, and they barged on. The sound of rifle fire echoed still in the distance. Inter-spaced with the soft pops of handguns.

“Secure this position, then move onto the other wells.” Huang barked. The rifle clicked as he ejected the spend magazine, reaching into his bags for another. “That's an order!” he reminded as he ran off, a fresh magazine clipping into place as he jogged on to the source of the fire fight.

Again he returned to the sensation of being in a phantom age. Where his people wielded majesty and terror. They could again, in this much larger army. But being without his vehicles felt like too much a handicap. He craved feeling the rumble of a motor under him. To be moving to feel the wind against his face. Russia had warmed, and there was no longer any snow left. The buggies would be at their best, without snow to melt and freeze in the engines. But they had left them a half mile out, fearing they'd be too loud to approach in.

The sound of the near-distant gun fire called him in. He again flew down the gravel road. The clashing of his boots muted to his own desires. The rifle wove back and forth at his chest. Ahead, a battered and rusting civilian truck was pulling out on the road. No doubt hearing the fire-fight at the gates, and seeing only one of Huang.

He heard the engine roar as it gunned it. Barreling for Huang. He did not drop a breath as he sighted down his weapon. With the first ejection of the shell time ran still. Freezing in the moment as the CP1960 cracked again and again. Firing bullet on bullet. The wooden stock jumped in his hands. The butt hammered against his shoulder. Sparks exploded from the grill and hull as each bullet struck the engine block. He saw smoke. He saw a bullet sting the tires. With an explosive jolt the cabin bounched, then dropped violently, the bumper crashing down against the clay and gravel.

A crashing wail screamed into the afternoon light and it swerved and spun violently. The driver frightfully trying to resume control through a cracked windshield. Huang stepped aside as the truck drew near. One final report issued from his weapon, and the driver's head folded back, slathering the cabin wall with brain and bone. To the screaming horror of his partner.

The truck passed by Huang. He continued his run unflinching. He was the victor. He was going on. Until they surrendered before them or until they were mopped up. Every one could kill. This was war. His war.

He kept moving. The sound of the exchange grew heavier in his ears. He was getting close. He rounded a steel shack, turning to find the gate. Huddling in the guard post sat one soldier, late service. A pistol clutched in his hands. He frantically changed out clips. The wood and gravel around him bursting from Chinese suppressive fire.

Further back was another. Younger, more fit. Energetically firing to the side. Several others lay dead or wounded around them. Their blood stained his green uniform. Huang stopped in the road. Changing magazines. The old soldier looked up as he finished, seeing him.

His face turned a ghostly shade of pale, his mouth agape. He rose the gun to him, and fired.

With a hard ping he felt the bullet strike his armor. It was too late to do anything. He filled in the new magazine and rose his rifle. He felt something graze his neck. A hot burning sensation exploded across the side of his face. He grimaced at the pain, opening fire. The chain swept across the guardsman's face, pulping it there. Then continued to graze into the shoulder of his accomplice.

Crying out in pain he stopped, releasing his finger from the trigger guard and raising a hand to his neck, dropping the rifle.

“Mother fucker!” he bellowed. He pulled back his hand. Blood caked his palm. He'd been hit. If just barely.</div>"

""<span class=""bb-i"">Senhor</span> President, Senator Catarina is here.""

""Ah good, send her in."" replied Adriano Claro, president of the Federative Republic of Brazil. He had arranged this meeting to discuss matters of policy with the senator, as he was certain that his majority in the Senate would not last and wanted to be on speaking terms with the senior Liberal Party leader before the election in August.

""Mrs. Belo, how wonderful to have you here today,"" Claro spoke in a friendly voice. ""Would you like a cup of coffee?""

""I'm quite well without it, thank you, <span class=""bb-i"">Senhor</span> President."" replied Senator Bela, a striking woman of thirty-eight. She was a rising star in the Liberal Party who had captured the spirit of Brazil's older residents and youth alike, eager for a change from the ever-left leaning People's Party and a new alignment in the world, and despite her young age in comparison to many of the Senators, she had a commanding knowledge of policy and a talent for speaking which put many of her fellow politicians to shame. There was some talk about her becoming the first female president. ""Am I here for you to congratulate me on my stunning electoral victory?"" she asked, laughing with a twinkle in her eye.

President Claro chuckled. ""I'm not quite ready to concede to you yet, <span class=""bb-i"">Senhora</span>."" ""On the contrary, I expect we shall have to forge a coalition, with your party expected to carry the Senate by a fairly large margin. If we can't nail down a policy direction, I expect General Antonio will have both our heads."" The President was joking, but only halfway.

""Surely that is the truth,"" replied Senator Catarina, shaking her head. ""The army has accumulated far too much influence. We need to ensure that they remain submissive to our authority, or we shall suffer as this country, and many others on this continent, did during the thirties and forties."" ""But that is not the subject of this meeting, is it?""

Claro shook his head. ""Spain,"" he said, the one word carrying all the meaning necessary to deliver his message.

""Imperialists."" Bela pursed her lips at the subject. ""Do they know no bounds? Must the entire world unite to contain them? And the Communists ask us to seek China to solve all of our problems. Amen I ask you, where are the Chinese now when their so-called allies are in need?""

""We must do something."" spoke Claro, with a firm conviction in his voice. ""But what?""

""It's clear to me that the Brazilian public would not stand behind another absurd foreign policy venture. You tried that in 1976, and it certainly did not fly."" Bela sat thoughtfully for a moment. ""We ought to take a page from Spain's own book. There are reports that men enthusiastic for the Spanish cause have joined an international battalion to fight in Africa. Surely we can promote the same?""

""Of course."" Adriano leaned forward. ""Many of the generals tell me that there are soldiers anxious to help the Ethiopian cause, but intervening directly would be disastrous."" ""If we outfit them with spare equipment and give them humanitarian aid to deliver, we can contribute in a small but meaningful manner to the resistance against Spain.""

""All while showing them that the world is displeased with their actions."" replied Senator Bela.

""That is an excellent idea which I shall anxiously put into practice. I thank you for it. Now, for the other matter which I wanted to discuss.""

Catarina Bela nodded. ""Economics."" ""There is little more divisive in all South America.""

""Implementing the Liberal Party's plan of reform, returning all the state-owned industry to private control, would be nothing less than disastrous. You know this."" Claro stared Senator Bela down while he said this.

She returned his expression evenly, with the solemnity of an expert poker player. ""Perhaps. But you know full well the driving reason for my party's rise is the high taxes you have placed upon our people. Surely the idea of socialism is to improve the welfare of all people? How can you do this by crushing them?""

Claro's frown deepened. ""A better tomorrow is worth the effort of today."" His expression then lightened slightly, in an attempt to preserve the conversation's civility. ""But I see your point. Would your party be amenable to some compromise on taxes in exchange for retaining state control of the upper echelons of industry?""

""I can see if that would be acceptable."" Bela smiled, knowing full well that she had forced a concession without even winning an election. She then rose from her seat. ""This has been a fine and productive conversation, <span class=""bb-i"">Senhor</span> President.""

""Indeed it has,"" replied Claro. ""I hope for further constructive dialogue in the future.""

""As do I,"" replied Bela, before she strode out of the room.

<span class=""bb-b""><span class=""bb-i"">Asuncion, Brazil:</span></span>

""So tell me, Major, what have you been seeing in terms of the movement of forces on their side of the border?"" General Antonio Buendia, the highest-ranking general in the Brazilian Armed Forces, asked the question dully as if he already knew the answer.

""Sir, the Argentinians have been ramping up their troop movement. It clearly isn't preparation for invasion, but it is highly aggressive and likely intended to provoke us into action. Reconnaissance planes have confirmed this.""

Tensions had been rising between the Brazilians and Spanish-leaning Argentinians for the last two years. Few people suspected an actual invasion, that would be foolhardy considering Brazil had twice the forces, but any aggressive act in return would be a major hit to the Brazilian image, what with all the President's talk about eradicating imperialism.

General Antonio bristled with anger. ""We must find grounds to give these Argentinians what is coming to them. Mark my words, that will be my advice to the next administration.""

<span class=""bb-b""><span class=""bb-i"">Sao Paulo, Brazil, Later that Week:</span></span>
<span class=""bb-i"">""My fellow Brazilians and South Americans,""</span> began President Claro as he stood before the microphone of the press conference room in Sao Paulo.

<span class=""bb-i"">""Over the course of this century, we have seen many blatant examples of imperialism. The Great War which so rocked this world was driven by it, as the rival powers of Europe contested for influence over the rest of the world as if it was their own personal battleground. Nations have been annexed, even exterminated, all in the name of empire. But in all my life thus far, I have seen no such example as flagrant a violation of the international order as the unprovoked attack which now is taking place against the Ethiopian state by the so-called Second Spanish 'Republic'.""

""Prime Minister Sotelo has continued his nation's violent colonialist legacy by trying to eradicate one of the few remaining bastions of hope for the great African people. And as such, the Federative Republic of Brazil categorically condemns the actions of the Spanish Republic, and applauds the new president of the United States for his words on the matter. Let this agreement show that the Americas, North and South, are united against this aggressive move.""

""I have been asked many times by my fellow citizens and Latin American brothers what can be done to defeat this enemy. While Brazil lacks the strength to bring its forces to bear against such a European threat, already I am told that the first international brigades in support of our African comrades are being formed, with the intent to demonstrate the Brazilian people's support of the Ethiopian plight. I applaud the initiative of the great people of Brazil and of all South America in this action, and wish them the best of luck.""

""Finally, I wish to reach out to the people of Ethiopia and express the greatest sympathy. I have already sent a bill before the Chamber of Deputies which would initiate a small but meaningful transfer of humanitarian aid. Every empire will fall in its day, and so too will the Empire of the Spanish vanish from the face of this earth.""</span></div>"

Hank Kelly sipped lukewarm coffee out of a paper cup and pined for DC. At the Campus in Alexandria they really knew how to brew a cup of Joe. These Army guys could kick serious ass, but their gourmet skills were severely lacking. Hank drained the coffee from the cup and tossed it into a wastepaper basket as he walked down Fort Norman’s beige colored corridors. 

A general fatigue was setting into his bones, unsurprising since he had been up for nearly twenty hours at this point. Hank had been in a meeting yesterday evening with the rest of the analysts in the Company’s Canada Section when he D/CO called him up to his office. As a senior analyst in the department, the Deputy had picked him to go up north for the op. He was able to leave the Campus and stay home long enough to eat dinner and pack a bag before he told Tiff and the boys he had to go away on business. Tiff understood. She had been a Company wife for fifteen years now. He caught a ride on a military transport out of Andrews Field at five this morning. Twelve hours in the air and a three-hour car ride and here he was, puttering around the military intelligence offices of the base and waiting for Pat and whatever he was able to find at Bragg.

Yawning, he found a couch in an empty office off the main hallway. Hank checked the watch on his wrist before stretching out on the couch. He unknotted his tie and kicked off his shoes before he closed his eyes.

“Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.”

Hank opened his eyes and saw Pat Connelly staring down at him with a smirk. 

“How long have I been asleep?” Hank mumbled to himself, checking his watch. Four hours had passed since he closed his eyes. “Damn… when did you guys get in?”

“Ten minutes ago,” Pat said as he helped Hank to his feet. “Good to see you again, Hank.”

Pat was Hank’s opposite number in the Operations Directorate. Hank rode a desk while Pat was an actual intelligence officer out in the field. The two men had known each other for nearly ten years and were practically neighbors since they lived two blocks away from each other Georgetown and their kids went to the same school.

“So what did you get?” Hank asked with a yawn. 

“I think I got us a winner. They’re an A-Team with experience in the region from the war. High marks in all their fitness reports. Their NCO is solid as a rock.”

“Good.” Hank tried to pat some of the wrinkles out of his shirt. He gave up and started tying his necktie back in place. “Give me a chance to get some coffee and I’ll be ready for a briefing.”



<span class=""bb-b"">Vancouver</span>

Arthur shifted uneasily in the small bed. Joanna stirred on his left and rolled over with her back to him. He looked over at her and felt something he couldn’t quite articulate. Was it love? Regret? Sadness? Maybe it was all three. He joined the Friends because they seemed to have all the answers he was looking for. They were smart and passionate, and they liked him. Alex and Chris liked him and Joanna… well, she was sleeping next to him in bed wasn’t she? He felt like he belonged to something. But was it something he wanted to be part of? 

Arthur had his reservations about the robberies and the bombings, but Alex had kept true to his word that nobody would get hurt. What they were doing was criminal, but it served a purpose. They had to show the imperialist they were serious. Their methods seemed to be working since the media was reporting general unrest in the territory. The Friends could be the spark that ignited the dynamite… but it was all in danger of being thrown off course. Everyone knew what VX was and what it could do. This wasn’t bombing an empty office building or even kidnapping some Army technical sergeant. VX was made for one thing only, and that one thing was killing people in en mass in a horrible way. 

Joanna shifted again, resting her head on Arthur’s chest. He thought of a third option while he listened to her steady breathing. So far, Alex had kept her and Chris in the dark about the VX option. He could force the issue, confront Alex and talk some sense into him, force him to abandon the plan if necessary. But then there was that gigantic man who wore sunglasses even in the middle of the night, the man with the fake name who talked slow and deliberate to cover up an accent. Who was he, and how had he gotten his hands on VX. More importantly, how would he feel if the Friends backed out of the bombing?



<span class=""bb-b"">USS Ranger
Sixteen Miles North-Northeast of New York City</span>


Colonel Wallace Lee’s stomach did summersaults as he approached the jet waiting on the flight deck. Carrier sorties were nothing new to Wallace, especially jet sorties.<span class=""bb-i"">Ranger</span> and the three nearby aircraft carriers had been built just for jet sorties like this. The runway was more compact due to the jet engines achieving lift faster. While he was among the Marine Corps’ senior most aviators, he was still new to the jet technology like everyone else. The majority of his career in the Corps was spent on the prop planes. He had heard of the jet engine scuttlebutt for years now until it finally became a reality five years ago. 

Resting on the deck was the FJ Mark 2. It was so new it didn't even have a catchy nickname. It was a silver, snub-nosed little thing with two fixed wings that came off the fuselage at a severe angle. It didn’t look like much, but it could book it like nobody’s business. All the military eggheads and crash test dummies had done the work in the desert, but today would be the first time the Mark 2 launched from a carrier. Along with Wallace’s plane, the USS <span class=""bb-i"">Eric Fernandez</span> and the USS <span class=""bb-i"">Saratoga</span> had Mark 2’s waiting on their deck to launch.  The sortie mission was to launch and fly over New York before landing back on the Ranger’s deck. Cameras present on the deck, inside the jet, and placed throughout he city would document the jets on their trip. That footage would be distributed to the media for national and international use. The message was a simple one: One more weapon had been added to the US’s ever growing arsenal.

The flight crew helped Wallace into the jet and handed him his helmet. He strapped in while they prepared the jet and the deck for takeoff. 

“Ranger Actual to Linebacker,” Captain Lopez said over the radio. “How’s it feeling in there?”

“Good. It could use a cigarette lighter, though.”

“I’ll be sure to pass that news along to the boys at Skunkworks. I’m passing the mic over to Admiral Boyce.”

“Colonel Lee? I’ll be brief. I just want to say good luck, we’re all counting on you. Boyce out.”

Lopez signed off, leaving Wallace to go through pre-flight checks before he started the engine. The Mark 2’s single engine roared to life. Wallace took a deep breath and looked to his side. The flight crew had the hydraulic catapult ready to shoot him forward off the deck. He showed them the thumbs-up. The crew chief returned the thumbs-up and gave the signal.

In the blink of an eye, Wallace and the Mark 2 were shot down the runway at high speed. He gripped the yoke with one hand, the throttle with the other. As soon as he heard the clank of the catapult bolt disconnecting, Wallace gunned the throttle and pulled back on the yoke. He climbed into the air and banked to the left, seeing Ranger and the rest of the carrier task force hundreds of feet below him.

“Linebacker 1 to Linebacking corps. Linebackers fall in.”

Linebacker 2, the pilot from the Fernandez replied with the affirmative, followed by Saratoga’s pilot Linebacker 3. The two FJ’s fell in behind Wallace. The three jets circled around the three carriers and watched their instruments.  The uncertainty from earlier was replaced with excitement when he saw the speeds he was travelling.

“Holy shit. Five hundred and fifty miles an hour, I’ve never gone that fast.”

“Linebacker 2 to Linebacker 1, everything on my end looks good.”

“Linebacker 3, I roger that.”

“Okay, fellas. Let’s take these bad boys into the city. Tell ya what, last one back to their carrier is a rotten egg.”

Wallace punched the throttle down and broke away from the other two pilots as he raced towards New York City.



<span class=""bb-b"">Senate Chamber
US Capitol Building
Washington, D.C.</span>


“’At the mention of his youngest daughter’s name, Mr. Bennet shook his head.’”  Jim Sanderson, the junior senator from Georgia, read the words of Jane Austen with his syrupy South Georgia drawl. “’Although quite pretty, Lydia was a lively headstrong girl prone to a breathiness of speech and a most peculiar fondness for raising up the hems of her gowns to rub her lower half against objects and furnishings and, to the embarrassment of all parties concerned, young officers…’“

Sanderson stood next to his desk and read while a skeleton crew of clerks sat at the dais to record the words. From the entrance of the chamber, Russell watched Sanderson with a scowl. The Southern filibuster was now in its twentieth hour. Before Jim, Louisiana’s Jeff Murphy and Mississippi’s Barry McCall had spoken until their voices were raw. Jim taking part in the filibuster was particularly galling to Russell. Jim had taken Russell’s seat in the Senate after he had resigned to be Vice-President. It was on Russell’s recommendation that Governor Taliaferro had appointed Jim. Russell had promised to help him out this summer in the special election to serve out the rest of the term’s four years, but that was off the table. Both Jim and Herbert Tallmadge, Georgia’s other senator, had sided with the Southern bloc in the filibuster fight. It made Russell look weak that he couldn’t control the people from his own state. 

Fuming, Russell stalked off from the chamber and made a beeline to Wilbur Helms’ office. The two Secret Service agents assigned to him tried to keep up as Russell rushed down the marble halls. The ancient solon was standing behind his desk preparing to leave for the day when Russell burst in. Helms smiled, showing a full mouth of his yellow teeth.

“Come to surrender?” Helms asked brightly. “I am a good winner, Russ. I won’t require you to bend the knee.”

“You misunderstand, Wilbur. I’ve come to accept your surrender.”
Helms cocked a gray eyebrow upward and sat back down in his chair. It took him a moment to comprehend what Russell was saying. A leathery hand scratched his slicked back silver hair while he spoke.

“That a joke or something, son? Because I don’t rightly get it. From where I’m sitting, I hold all the cards. I got eight other senators that can get up on that floor and speak until their goddamn gums bleed. The entire legislative machinery of the United States government is at our control.”

“It is,” said Russell. “And that’s why you’re gonna stop. You’re gonna come to the realization that, with the current state of global affairs, hijacking the government’s ability to create legislation is tantamount to treason. You’re gonna realize that in most of the world, you and the rest of the Southerners would have been hanged for trying to pull this shit. That’s why you’re gonna do the right thing and call the filibuster off.”

“Make me,” snarled the old man. “Use all your power at your disposal to make me do it, you son of a bitch. At the end of the day, I do not give a flying fuck about this military bill. I do not want you and your goddamn Yankees interfering with my state. It ain’t personal, it’s politics.”

Silence settled in as the two men stared at each other. Helms’ steely blue eyes refused to blink or look away as Russell stared forward. Finally, Russell blinked and stepped backwards. He adjusted his tie and cleared his throat.

“’Warm bucket of piss,’” he mumbled. 

“What’s that, son?”

“’Warm bucket of piss’, isn’t that what you said the other week about what the Vice Presidency is worth?”

“That’s right,” Helms said smugly. 

“There’s truth to that. Constitutionally, I can’t do jack squat to convince you to do the right thing. But… here’s the thing about almost all the men who end up becoming the Vice President. They were all experience politicians. They didn’t have power, but they knew what to do with it if they had it. It’s the same with me. There is not a goddamn thing I can do to convince you in my role as Vice President. But as a politician.”

Russell sat down in the chair opposite Helms and leaned forward with his arms on the desk. He started to speak before chuckling.

“You know, Wilbur, we both grew up pretty close to each other. Where I’m from in Georgia, Lavonia, is just a few hours away from your hometown in South Carolina. Edgefield, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Back when I first got to the Senate, I took a trip down there one weekend. I knew who you were and knew all about what you could do for me in the Senate. I wanted to learn more, so I went searching. I found something mighty interesting, Wilbur. I found Catherine Turman.”

The old man’s face turned so white so quickly that, had it not been for his wheezing breaths, Russell would have thought he had just died.  A smile crept onto Russell’s face as he pressed on.

“You remember Catherine? Swell negro lady who teaches school at the colored school in town. She looks more on the biracial side, you ask me. Funny thing about that, there is no daddy listed on her birth certificate. Her momma was your housekeeper back in the day.”

“Russell—“

“She got a fine education down at that negro college in Columbia, Benedict College right? According to her, it was a memorial scholarship as part of the Wilburn Helms Foundation. The thing is, I don’t remember you having a charity like that, especially one that gives scholarships to negro gals. Apparently, that same foundation helped Ms. Turman’s mother out after she left your employ.”

“Russ, please—“

Russell smiled and leaned back. He thoroughly enjoyed the desperate tone in the old man’s voice.“I can’t do anything to get your cooperation as VP, you are right about that. But as a politician? I still know how to hit you where it hurts. Just imagine all the papers if this gets out. Wilbur Helms, the stalwart defender of Southern rights and segregation… has a half-black daughter. Not only that, but he's been running a slush fund to keep that half-black baby and the baby's momma up.”

“Russ, son…,” Helms said, tears beginning to form in his eyes. “You can’t do that. It would ruin my career…  my legacy! It would ruin… her life. This isn’t right, this is blackmail!”

“It’s just politics,” Russ said with a wink. “And if you want this to stay buried, call off the filibuster and let the NEWI bill pass.”

“You son of a bitch… You’ve known this for ten years?”

“More or less. It’s always good to have something your back pocket when someone won’t play ball.”

“This doesn’t mean any other civil rights bill will pass through this body. I would rather die than see that come to pass.”

“Be careful what you wish for.”

Russell stood and looked down at the wheezing, crying old man who just a few minutes ago said he had all the cards. 

“Cheer up, Wilbur. Catherine and her husband gave birth a few months ago. Let me be the first to congratulate you on being a granddaddy."" Russell adjusted his tie and checked his watch. ""I understand it’s almost too late in the evening to wake the rest of the walking dead that make up the Southern Caucus, but I expect I’ll hear that the filibuster has officially ended tomorrow morning, and the good men of the Senate can go about their duty of passing legislation. Have a good night, Senator.”

“Operation Cruiser.”

The chubby, middle-aged man in the wrinkled shirt and tie stood in front of Silas and his A-team for their briefing. Unlike the CIA agent known to Silas as Smith, this man looked more like an office worker than a Company man. He hadn’t even bothered to give Silas and the men a fake name, instead he just said he was Company and got right into the briefing. To the man’s right was Smith, sitting and watching impassively while he smoked a cigarette.

“With the recent unrest in the territory, we’ve been given a green light for this joint CIA-DoD operation. Simply put, we’re terrorist hunting. These people who call themselves the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty have yet to hurt someone, but they will eventually. This activity falls under the purview of the FCB and the territorial police, but this is special circumstances.”

“The FCB doesn’t trust the territorial police,” Smith added. “They’ll probably be spending most of their time mole hunting instead of trying to find the bombers.”

“Technically Mr. Smith and I aren’t supposed to be here. A CIA operation on US soil violates our charter. That’s why this is a DoD operation. Since this is a US territory under military occupation, you boys have free reign to be here. Cruiser’s head, nominally, is the base commander here, Brigadier General Johnson. He’ll work with us and provide us with whatever we need, but for all intents and purposes this operation is being run by CIA. We provide the intelligence, coordinate with the Campus back in Alexandria, but you five will be the boots on the ground and Sergeant Crystal has the final say on any ground action, we’re committed to this being a joint command. Since you are soldiers, you are not held to the same standards as law enforcement. They have to make arrests and trials. You boys aren’t in that same boat. Simply put, if we find these terrorist first you have orders to take them out.”

“Terminate...,” Smith said, before adding, “Terminate... With extreme prejudice.""</div>"

The past years has seen both growth and decline for Ansaldo, the Turkish invasion helped expand the company thanks to an increasing need on new ships and aircraft, but the Batista regime that followed severely crippled all the growth gained in the war period, along with the Civil War damaging major facilities and buildings.

The Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale stepped in to support the company under government influence, planning on using Ansaldo to help design new cars, ships, planes and other automotives.

However, last month a new government held competition was started in the efforts of designed a new ""Infantry Tank"" for the Regio Esercito. Ansaldo was one of the companies tasked with designing the new tank, one never before attempted by Italy.

The room was well lit, thanks to an entire wall being cut out for a large window, looking down onto the streets below. Oak bookcases full of old books and side tables covered in misplaced papers and cigars.

""This design... it is daring. I doubt Fiat would even be able to build one a month, and this is a 'simplified' version?"" voiced Ausilio Reo, one of the new project leads after the untimely death of Elogio Cervini, the main designer of The Carro Armato P90/80 'Legione.' ""I simply do not see how we could just change from the P26 to the 'Legione' if it is accepted, not to mention it would still be outclassed by most war-like nations.""

""It will have to do, Fiat has already built the prototype and it will be going up against only one other competitor. Oto Melara's 'Cinghiale.'' Muttered Gosto Rosselli, a cigar in his mouth as he looked out the window. ""Pray to god it will end up a terrible machine, because the 'Legione' might just be our last chance before IRI gives up on us.""

<span class=""bb-b"">----------Alto Comando sala riunioni stanza, Palazzo del Quirinale, Roma-----------</span>

Prime Minster Everardo Culotta rubbed the large wooden table in front of him, his hands tracing the lines and crevices the wood seemed to make with its coloring. It had been a long day, and it showed. His eyes were unfocused and tired, and his movements were sluggish at best.

An entire day of talking and sitting, mostly about the growing conflict in Africa. His Majesty had asked that they all be summoned to this meeting in an attempt to prepare to enforce Italy's neutrality, without angering the Spanish should Italy be called to war. It was a risky task, attempting to make Italy prepared for a call to arms, while also trying to reassure the people that war would not come again so soon.

Stressful - is what most people would call it, and no one had more noticeable stress then the King himself. Everardo knew him, he was tired and in constant pain. Despite his constant pressure for him to abdicate in favor of his daughter, despite her being only fourteen, and attempt to get medical aid has been received with only scoffs and denials.

Now, the three military branches also know it as well. Francis was the first to move as the king requested help to get up, Tito moved to assist as well, lifting the large man out of his chair and handing him his cane. Everardo simply continued to watch, Florenstano managing to get his cane and stand on his own before leaving the room.

""He can not be serious, wishing that he travel to Madrid. He is stressed enough as is! The pressure of travel alone will weigh him down greatly. I will be going instead."" Voiced Everardo, as soon as the king was out of hearing range. The three men turned from watching Florenstano and moved back to re-seat themselves at the table.

""I agree, Everardo is the voice of the people after all, I too vote for him to go to Madrid to speak of Italy's position. What difference does it make that he is not of the Royal Family?"" Francis spoke as he leaned back in his chair, taking a much more relaxed posture now that the King had left.

Aristarco nodded his head in agreement, but Tito cut in before his opinion was heard.

""No! If anything, have Isabella go. We need someone with a spine of steel to talk for Italy, not our King or - pardon my speech- Everardo. You may have confidence, but Isabella has fire in her. She could make our Kingdom's position very clear and leave no room for bickering with the Spanish!""

""That is a terrible idea, Isabella would do nothing but sour relations with her attitude. Everardo is the best middle ground we have available who has the authority to speak for the people."" Expressed Aristarco, ""Now that we are in majority, I shall go speak with Florenstano about this. He won't be in much of a position to disagree.</div>"

((A collaborative post between myself and duck55223))

Rhythmic clacking of purposeful footsteps reverberated down the corridors of the Halls of the Republic - the nexus of the Spanish government. Alfonso Sotelo, the prime minister of the Spanish Republic, strode down the marbled halls flanked on either side by muscle-bound bodyguards: members of a specialized contingent of Cazadores whose training regimen prepared them to more readily protect lives than take them. The suit clad goons came to a halt before the entrance to a conference room and stood at rigid attention at either side of the door, ready to spring into action at the slightest indication of anything abnormal that might occur during the upcoming discussions. Paying these guards little heed, Sotelo pulled the door open and left the guards in the hallway.

Inside, the Prime Minister found himself before a Serbian delegation that had already seated themselves about the roundtable situated in the center of the cavernous conference room. The Serbian delegation was led by a single portly man, his bald head shining in the glow of the light fixtures of the meeting room. Two guards in black suits stood near the entrance from which the delegation had come. Small sidearms sat on their hips, as they glared at Sotelo and their Spanish counterparts from their position in the room.

“Greetings Mr.Sotelo, I am here on behalf of the Serbian Government. We would like to congratulate the Spanish Military and Spanish Government on their quick seizure of the Suez Canal. We also like to inform you that the Serbian Government fully supports your move into Ethopia. After all the only way to deal with a communist is swift bullet through the head.” said the Serbian Diplomat, looking directly at Sotelo.

The Prime Minister slid into the nearest available seat, smiling briefly and folding his fingers together as he pressed himself upright and rigid in his seat.

“The congratulations are appreciated, as are the sentiments regarding the wages of socialism. I have long held the Serbian administration in high regard. Welcome though envoys of your homeland are in the Republic, I must confess my surprise that you have come to Madrid today. So far as I am aware, I received no notification from Belgrade that a delegation would be arriving today. Therefore, I ask patience on your behalf when I ask as to the nature of your visit to this Republic.”

“Apologies about our visit being unexpected. Neven was quick to rush out the door, he seemed intent we head to Madrid right away. As for the nature of our visit, Serbia seeks the support of the Spanish Government, particularly in the form of weapons. I will not hide the fact of why we would seek such support; Serbia is intent on unifying all South Slavs into one state.”

Sotelo’s customary smile collapsed into the typical frown as the exchange shifted away from pleasantries. “I will admit, the armed forces of the Republic do not commonly receive inquiries regarding the sale of arms. The Spanish Republic is not often seen as the weapons-monger for the West - that is more often seen as Poland’s sphere.

To my knowledge, Spain has never been approached for the supply of arms in modern history. The weaponry at the disposal of our armed forces and private firms is among the finest equipment in all the world. The costs of such equipment are… prohibitive. And while I hold your homeland in high esteem, I do not have such an exalted opinion of Serbia that I would provide it the means to expand across the Balkans.”

“Your concern is understandable Mr. Sotelo, and we have not gone to either Poland, or the most next obvious choice Germany because they fear we would expand across the Balkans. This is true as I said earlier, but what those two countries do not realize and what I think you do not realize is that a unified South Slav right-wing state is needed because another even greater threat to the balance of power of not just the Balkans but all of Europe is coming. And that threat is Russia.”

“You realize we live in the year 1980? Not 1948, not 1970. There is essentially no Russia to speak of, do you understand this? The threat of an expansionist Tsarist Empire in the East was put paid to a decade ago by a Finlander assassin. If Serbia seeks to bolster its position in preparation for an Eastern hegemon, let it be that of the Communist Chinese.”

“The Communist Chinese is exactly what we are talking about Mr. Sotelo. While their pace seems slow now, communists along with wanting to destroy all that is good are also very clever. They will find a way to make the Russian Republic collapse quickly, and let’s be honest the Russian Republic is torn up by organized crime. It would not be that hard, and if China defeats the Russian Republic, then they will unify Russia into a single state under a communist government. There will be rebuilding to do but give it a few years and we could have what was once the might of Tsarist Russia in the hands of communists.”

“I too have received concerning reports from Siberia. And I will agree that the Communist Empire must not be permitted to reach the very fringe of Europe. But I do not yet understand how rendering weaponry unto Serbia will play a direct role in stemming the advance of the mongoloid bolsheviks. Cementing control over the Balkan Peninsula is certainly in your interest in preparing for the arrival of communist forces on the border of Eastern Europe - but it is not in mine. Why should it be?

“We would provide your forces a few military bases in the Region, and since the Bulgarians do count as South Slavic that also opens up a few naval bases in the Black Sea for you. The Black Sea is important trade-wise and with fleets in the region you could prevent the communists from gaining total control over such trade. Serbia would also remain a military and political ally of Spain. Unlike the United States we see what the true threat communists are, and I can guarantee you have the full support of Serbia in any political matters, our say may not mean much know but imagine what it could be if we were a unified South Slav State.”

Sotelo bridged his fingers, considering the offer on the part of the Serbian envoy. Access to the Adriatic and the Black Seas - that was a step in the right direction. But the Prime Minister knew he could get far more. 

“A unified Slavic State? A tantalizing possibility for Serbia, certainly. But for the part of the Spanish Republic? I will not provide for the creation of a state that could - in time - develop interests contrary to those of the Second Spanish Republic. If I am to support the existence of a greater Serbian state, I will need assurances that this future state will not jeopardize the interests of this republic.

...Assurances that could be satisfied by having Belgrade ratify the Ibiza Treaty. By Serbia’s accession to the Iberian League.”

“Such an offer we could accept but we may need to ask a bit more in return. Beyond just Spanish support and weapons perhaps you could take a bit more of a active role in helping Serbia? Our industry could use some bolstering from Spain, especially considering the strength of your machines. A few advisers to help us organize our armed forces and make them more effective would assure me and Neven that ratifying such a treaty is in Serbia’s best interests.”

“Advisers, armaments. Those will be simple enough. As for industrial support, I can introduce legislation into the Senate providing for substantial subsidy for investment in Serbia - an action that will guide the market’s invisible hand to lift Serbia to opulence and splendor. These requests can be satisfied. I believe we may find an agreement on this.”

“I think there is nothing else to settle then.” said the Serbian diplomat, standing up and shaking Sotelo’s hand with a tight grip. “As a sign of Serbian Goodwill I can go ahead and sign the treaty now, Neven has granted me the same authority as him in diplomatic matters.”

“Very well. I will call for the notaries to see to us and provide a copy of the Ibiza Treaty that you may ratify on behalf of the esteemed Neven.” The prime minister stood up from his seat and accepted the envoy’s handshake - his own grip much colder and looser in comparison.

“As for the business between us, we are concluded. On behalf of the Second Spanish Republic, I welcome Serbia to the Iberian League.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Gulf of Aden</span>

Spain had launched against Ethiopia the very pinnacle of their nation's aviation: as nimble of a plane as had ever been built. It did not take an aeronautical engineer to determine that the Spanish Fantasma was built with agility and speed in mind. It appeared more akin to an airborne torpedo than any sort of airplane: the fuselage had been built around a single engine nacelle which fired a propulsory jet of superheated and compressed air from a single thruster pod incorporated into the tail. A ring of four .50 caliber machine guns encircled the intake on its nose like fangs around a bestial maw. The fighter was kept aloft with a pair of short, slender wings accompanied by two separate ailerons directly anterior to the proper wings. Emblazoned upon these wings was the Leonese lion of the Second Republic in white paint.

The flying torpedo rocketed past the pillowy masses of cumulus clouds hanging over the open blue waters of the Straits of Mandeb. In a great, banking arc the Fantasma climbed out from the cloud banks after a solitary cargo airplane moving across the horizon. A blocky, heavy mess of an airplane - it moved hopelessly slow. The rocket of a fight swept behind the cargo aircraft and darted in to intercept the lumbering plane.

As the fighter tailed its prey, the cargo plane's tail elevators flared down, pitching the aircraft upward at a dizzying angle. The Fantasma roared past as the cargo plane arced into the cerulean void above the world, its helmet-donning pilot turning in his cockpit to watch as the plane swooped overhead. As ineffectual as it was, such a move constituted an evasive maneuver. The chase was on.

The Fantasma pilot's shoulders pressed down with tremendous force against his lower body as the jet pulled upward in a sharp curve, giving chase to the propeller plane. Within seconds, the Fantasma had matched the ascent profile of its prey and throttled up to close in for the kill. The pilot's gloved fingers snaked around the rear-mounted trigger on the fighter's joystick. Despite the best efforts of the pilot inside, the cargo aircraft found itself squarely within the gyroscoping crosshairs of the Fantasma. He squeezed the trigger for a second.

The nose-mounted machine guns roared to life, rattling the cockpit of the Fantasma as a torrent of red-hot tracers arced across the sky. Brass shells tumbled past the cockpit while the pilot kept the fighter's guns trained on the propeller-bound plane. At the last moment before interception, the Spaniard tugged on the trigger once more for a follow-up burst. His eyes registered sparks of clashing metal on the fuselage of his target in the instant before he tugged the joystick to his left, banking the Fantasma away.

As the fighter veered off, the pilot spun in his seat in order to confirm the damage he had inflicted. A smirk stretched underneath his oxygen mask when he saw a fire flickering wildly from within the innermost of the two right propeller pods. A smear of thick black smoke trailed across the blue sky. The target was wounded, but it could escape yet.

The pilot's vision blurred briefly as he pulled another sharp turn - blood trickled from his head down into his lower body from the centrifugal forces produced by the rapid turn. The Fantasma turned about to face the cargo aircraft with its guns once more. The blocky craft, with one of its engines severely damaged, struggled to continue its evasive climb. It bobbed and shuddered, threatening to stall as the roiling flame within the engine grew in intensity. The Fantasma swept about to intercept the limping plane from behind. Once again, he trained the crosshairs at the fore of the cockpit directly upon the airplane's fuselage. As he closed in, his finger wrapped itself about the trigger once again, biding only to get close enough to ensure a mortal volley.

At that instant, a brilliant flash of blue lightning bathed the cockpit and the airplane jolted violently. A deafening crack of thunder left the pilot's ears ringing. His heart raced as the needles of the myriad instrument dials around the cockpit all spiked momentarily before falling back to zero. The constant whine from the fan blades of the jet engine beneath him wound down to a gradual halt. The Fantasma sailed lifelessly past the smoldering cargo plane; it failed to respond when the pilot slid the throttle back and forth.

There was no doubt - it was a lightning strike. All the electronic instrumentation of the Spanish jet remained listless. The craft's pilot was too frightened to begin to wonder how his plane had suffered a lightning strike in clear skies and several thousand feet above the nearest clouds. He was now gliding a hundred kilometers to sea over unfriendly waters.

The pilot brought the radio microphone up to his lips to relay a distress call, only to realize that the radio was also dead. He jostled the joystick - the elevators and ailerons still functioned - but required some application of force without the powered components. Realizing that he yet had some control of the plane, he slowly veered in a southerly direction.

And as it came about, a narrow spit of golden-yellow land glowed invitingly against the deep blue ocean below. The fighter descended slightly and proceeded to glide down to the desert island below.</div>"

Neven paced around his office nervously as he looked at the clock. It had been a while since he sent the diplomats to Madrid, he pondered the outcome. He had given the diplomat permission to make as many concessions as necessary to garner Spanish Support and weapons. He only now realized that this may have been a bit of bad move on his part. His attention quickly turned to the door of his office as he heard their loud creaking, indicating that the door had been opened. His assistant Obrad stepped forth, carrying a few papers in his hands.

“I have the reports from the meeting in Spain, the diplomat met with Sotelo himself.” said Obrad, as Neven grabbed the papers, rapidly flipping through them and reading the reports, his eye rapidly darting across the pages.

“I expected them to meet with some low level diplomat, I guess Sotelo wanted to see what we wanted. Not to bad, I was expecting the Iberian League to be honest, it is good what the diplomat got in exchange for the signing of the treaty.” spoke Neven, taking a sigh of relief as he sat in the comfortable office chair that sat behind his big red wood desk.

“What shall Serbia’s next move be Neven?” asked Obrad.

“With Spanish weapons the army will be significantly strengthened. This is good, and the Spanish Advisers should help us reorganize our structure and update our tactics. The Industrial subsidies are excellent as well, with it we can grow our industry rapidly as well as give the workers higher wages, that will look nice for my public image. With all that said… Serbia is long overdue in uniting the South Slavs, Bosnia will make a excellent first target.”

“Is it not a bit early for that Neven? Germany could become much more opposed to us if we work our way up to Croatia like that, and they may become much more active in the region.”

“It has always been the goal of the Black Hand to unite all South Slavs, not just from Greater Serbia. That is the reason we have built this state, the reason I so willingly made concessions to Madrid. So that we could push further to this goal. It is even in the Black Hand’s forming document that we need to unite all South Slavs. I do not think the higher levels of government will be opposed to that. As for Germany… Madrid can put pressure on them if they try anything.”

“If you think it is the best move Neven..”

“I shall wait to declare on Bosnia though, do keep that in this room. I want to see how the International Community reacts to our ascension to the Iberian League”

“If there is no more, I shall be off.” bowed Obrad, leaving the room as Neven reviewed more reports.</div>"

The sky was stained a light purple as the sun slowly dipped under the horizon. Not a single cloud had appeared in the sky in the last few days and Polat had already called on a water restriction to conserve water, to the anger of the lower classes. A slight cooling breeze wandered through the square, gently flapping the Batumi Republic Flags and Ottoman standards that hung from buildings and flag polls. It cooled the face of the lone guardsman, an Azeri seated at the feet of the grand statue of Suleiman III. His gun was abandoned on the floor beside him in favour of a cheap, Oriental style fan that he held in both hands. The fan was flapping furiously but only provided temporary relief to the wet heat that had covered the town. The Azeri glanced around the square from his seat lazily, noting the five streets that led into the square. Technically, he should of been on his feet, walking in circles around the square, checking each road for a few minutes before moving on but that had quickly grown tedious and uncomfortable. He had realised that it would be far easier to sit with his back to the statue and watch each street from there, occasionally standing up and looking busy if he saw fellow members of his squad coming. He had not once had to stop anyone coming into square past curfew because nobody bothered anymore. Even in the day, the square was relatively empty save for Muslims rushing in and out of the Mosque on Fridays. 

'You! Boy! On your feet, now!' came a bark from one of the road. The guardsman jumped to his feet, swearing under his breath as his Turkish officer jogged over. 'What are you doing, Private?' he snarled, slapping him across the face. 'I'll have you on shit shovelling for sleeping on the job!' The guard murmured an apology before looking the officer in the face. This wasn't the face of an angry man. The officers cheeks were flushed, as if he had been running and his eyes had a worried glint to them. 'Listen, boy, never mind the shit shovelling for now. We've got a problem down the street a bit. Some kind of nationalist-trade union march are forming a few miles away and they might try get into the square' he said, gulping slightly. The guards eyes widened in surprise. 'But...sir, there's a curfew. People aren't allowed around here at night. Can't we just tell them to go home?'

'You try telling 200 angry people to go home' said the officer. 'I've got the rest of the lads down there keeping an eye on them but I don't think we can hold back that many people for long. Go meet with them. I'm going to go call for reinforcements. Seggan is in charge. Go!' The officer then turned heel and ran in the opposite direction as fast his cowardly Turkish legs would take him. The guardsman shook his head in annoyance and began a trek down the dark road to meet the rest of his unit.

<span class=""bb-b"">The March</span>
The main street had become a sea of bodies as people from groups across the city marched through slowly. At the front, the Guard marched clumsily, clutching large Georgian standards and rifles. The amateurism of the miltia's men stood out as some walked out of step or let their weapons drop. Behind the Guard came the communists, backed up by the local trade unions who had declared an illegal strike. They clutched Georgian flags, large signs with anti-Polat messages (''Fuck you, Polat'' was a common one) and even a few Chinese inspired Georgian flags. Bringing up the rear were the citizens, who were by far the largest and loudest group. The groups often blurred together to the point it was no longer distinguishable who was who but it no longer mattered - all were citizens of Georgia and they were to make their message known. 

Davit lead the march at the front in full uniform, surrounded on all sides by his friends and colleagues. The idea of a band had quickly been abandoned when it became clear no one in the Guard knew how to play brass instruments and instead they marched to the shouts of anger and protest from a 200-strong group of Batumi citizens. From street corners and atop buildings, bemused yet heavily armed patrols of Polats men watched. The marchers were weary of the patrols and often gave them a wide berth. 

""Davit, sir!"" panted a young Guard scout, speeding up to keep up with Pataravas longer strides. ""Yes, my boy?"" answered the leader of the Guard, raising his voice slightly to be heard over the shouts. ""Up ahead, sir! Polats men have set up a roadblock on Beria Street, stopping anyone getting into the square"" said the scout, almost tripping over his own feet. Davit frowned before waving the scout on. 'Go tell Elchin. He's up ahead a bit. Tell him from me that he can handle it anyway he says fit"".

The scout nodded before running on, weaving through groups of communists and women with children at their breasts. Elchin wore a heavy fur coat yet showed no signs of overheating as he shouted and mingled with his comrades in the Guard. ""Elchin, sir! A group of Polat's men have  set up a roadblock with their jeeps on Beria Street, right before the square!"" said the exasperated scout. A huge smile creased the Azeri's face as he lifted his gun up and casually rested it on his shoulder, not breaking his stride. ""How many?"" he answered, a little too cheerfully for the scouts tastes. ""I-I don't know, sir. Maybe...20?"" winced the scout. Elchin scratched his beard for a few moments before continuing. ""What did Davit say?""

""He said you should deal with it how you see fit"".

""Good man"" grinned the Azeri. ""You go down the back. Things might get messy up here"". The scout nodded and weaved between the marchers, soon disappearing from view. The Azeri took a deep breath before beginning his tyrade. ""Right, you lot! All armed units take the vanguard! We're jumping in the deep end here, lads!""
There was a quick shuffle as the armed units made their way to the front of the march, some shivering from anticipation, others shaking with fear. Their officers began shouting orders and the men, armed with shotguns, handguns and the occasional rifle, unlocked their guns.

""Keep it tight, lads! Beria Street might be dangerous!"" shouted Elchin, pushing his way out front. He unhitched his Armenian rifle from around his back, held it with one hand and shot it wildly in the air, wooping as he did.

<span class=""bb-b"">Outskirts of Batumi</span>

The Turks held the five men against the wall while the Officer, a Dagistani, went through their possessions. ""Rifles?"" he tutted, touching one with his toe. ""And what are you doing past curfew with rifles, gentlemen? Are you looking to rob someone, ah?"" he growled. His men, of Turkish stock, held guns against the Georgians backs, who were on their knees with their hands of their heads. ""You can get in a lot of trouble with these"" sneered the Dagistani, staring at the shaved head of one of the Georgians. ""Who are you anyway? Communists? Nationalists? Or just common criminal scum?"" he spat. 

The Georgian's didn't answer. They didn't wear a uniform and were a rather rag-tag group of men, the oldest in his forties and the youngest barely 21. ""Not talking? Okay. Well, when I see a Turk jeep coming next, we might just have to hop aboard and take you to a police station"". Jeeps were a feared symbol of Polat's regime - a jeep outside your house usually meant a trip to a 'police station' to get a night of beatings and abuse at the hands of Polat's men.

""In fact, I hear one now. Hear it, boys? It might be the last thing you ever hear if I give the order to these Turks. And let me remind you, these Turkish men are itching to kill a few Georgians, aren't you boys?"" sneered the officer, looking at each one of his men. The patrol gave a loud laugh at the thought. In the fading light at the end of the empty street, a pair of headlights slowly rolled down. ""Here they are now!"" cackled the Dagistani, squinting at the car in the fading light of evening.

The jeep slowly rolled to a stop and the door swung open. ""Hey! Turkish or Azeri?"" called the Dagistani, switching languages and starting to walk towards the jeep. A heavily bearded man looked him in the eye. ""Georgian"" he growled, pulling the trigger on his handgun and shooting the Dagistani square in the head. The gunshot echoed down the empty street. The Turkish men looked around, startled at the sound of a gunshot but soon fell to the ground as a flash of rifle of fire tore down the street and entered their bodies. Out of the jeep jumped several more men, each wearing heavy coats with a Georgian flag sewed into the arms. A large dog of mixed origins jumped from the back and tore down the street after the single remaining Turk, who had dropped his weapon and fled. A long whistle from the bearded Georgian drew it's attention and it made a U-Turn, returning to it's owners and jumping into the front seat of the jeep, which sat with it's engine on and it's headlights

""Shalikash and Gelovani, clear the bodies off the streets. Adamia and Inauri, grab those weapons. Janjigava, with me"" barked the bearded Georgian. His men nodded at their orders and made off. Janjigava and the beared Georgian made their way slowly to the captured Georgians, who had fallen to the ground with their hands covering their heads. ""You are Guardsmen?"" he asked, looking at each of the five captured with suspicion. One man nodded quickly. ""Ea-East Batumi Division Unit 1"" he murmured. The bearded Georgian smiled. ""Then you are who I am looking for. Quickly, all of you, into the jeep. Get your weaponry and don't pet the dog.</div>"

Fabian closed the door behind him as he began to walk towards Oliver, who started to smoke a cigarette as he let out a cloud of smoke from his mouth to the night time sky. ""Want one?"" Oliver offered to his friend, which was turned down, as he turned towards Fabian. Fabian started to talk, ""For what I have heard inside, it seems that the President <span class=""bb-b"">might</span> be willing to aid Ethiopia."" 

""Might isn't a good enough answer"" said Oliver with anger in his voice as he dropped his cigarette onto the ground, stepping on it with his foot hard. ""We need her to have an answer that will be satisfy the crowd, not to hold the answer."". Fabian walked up to Oliver and grabbed his shoulders with both of his hands and smiled, ""Relax, she will aid the people of Ethiopia no matter what she says. It could increase relations with US and other countries behind Ethiopia.""

Fabian let go of his shoulders and patted his right shoulders with a grin as he said, ""She will do it. Don't worry yourself over it."". Oliver thanked his friend for being him some support, then he looked at his watch. It was time to bet at the meeting, he began to march towards the conference room saying, ""Let's hope that you're right."". Fabian soon followed him to the meeting.

<span class=""bb-i"">Earlier...</span>

Adela walked out of the conference room first as everyone else soon exited out of the heated room. She was met by faces of a couple people, one was Oliver as he sighed passed her. Then out of nowhere, Jetport began to walk to the stairs and said towards her, ""Follow me, President. I need to tell you something."". She at first looked at the forty year old and then followed, ""Don't fold under the pressure, they will take that to use against you. These people are fighting their own battles against each other. A battle that will be a win or a lose, according to them..."".

Adela knew a bit of what he meant about the battles due to her grandfather, Don. He used to explain about the life of being in politics to other family members. One time, he said that being in politics is like a war its self after the hard at the office. She nodded her head in agreement and finish the sentence, ""You just have to see who wins and losses."". She smiled as she realized what he was saying, ""My grandfather said it one time in an interview."". Jetport grinned at her remark about the quote and kept on walking until they got to the Red Salon, he stopped and waited until Adela was nearby. 

The President didn't know why she was here in the salon until Jetport walked inside the room and said, ""This room is where politics are being used with other countries. The reason why we put them in there is because, it shows them that we are still powerful. Even known, we are not as powerful as we were. The portrait of Empress Maria Theresa shows us that we have a rich history like them. And the gold shows us that we still have value in this world.""

Still confused about why they are here, she asked the question, ""Why are you telling me all of this and why are we here?"". He said, ""Because, politics are the life line of the country- besides food, military, and the other good stuff. Something happens in the politics and we don't react to it fast enough, then we lost a chance. Take the war between Spain and Ethiopia, if we just let them do it, then they will become too powerful to stop. Even if it's just a written statement, that could pause them. Anything other than just avoiding it would help us in the end, even if we get ourselves in a war.""

""That still doesn't make sense at all"" said the President as she stool there, confused as ever. ""You will get it someday, it is just your first day in office."". The clock on the wall out of the salon showed that the meeting was going to start backup again. The Vice President began to walk towards the conference room with hope to see the meeting end. The President stool there for a bit as she looked at Empress Maria Theresa and then she was scared by the sudden shout of her name. She walked away for the portrait as it was alone in the red room.

At the conference room, the place with pack with people talking about what the President is going to do. People are coming up with their own ideas of what she is going to do: Help out Ethiopia or Spain? Go to war with Spain? Or just do nothing? All of these talks were all of sudden gone as the President walked into the room. Everyone stool up for the President as they waited for her to sit down and tell them about her decision. She walked to her chair and sat on it as she sighed and said, ""Everyone now can sit down."". The people began to sit down as she was getting ready to respond to the ongoing war in Africa. 

The room grew silent as everyone was waiting for the answer, even Oliver was holding his breath. Other people in the room were getting ready to list down on what will be the issues and how they will respond to them in time. Many people were hoping that in someway, Ethiopia will get the support it needs against Spain. The only ones that were against the idea were the people responsible for health and economy. 

She began to tell the room, even the country, her decision as she coughed and started to speak, ""My decision for the war in Africa is that we support Ethiopia by giving them aid both to the citizens and the military. I will tell the world about my support towards Ethiopia at noon tomorrow. I also will have to get ready for Spain's reaction to our decision of supporting the Ethiopia. No doubt that they are going to be upset. The meeting is over."". She began to walk out of the room, first, with more courage than ever. 

Oliver shook his head in shock as he had doubt that was going to support one side- even going as far as supporting Ethiopia. Fabian had a huge grin on his face as he said, ""What did I tell you. I was right."". 

""Yeah, you were right."" said Oliver as he got and walked out of the meeting room along with others in shock.

<span class=""bb-i"">The Next Day...</span>

The microphone of the press conference room was turned on as the President began to enter the room to meet with a mob of people. She began to speak to everyone, ""Throughout the years, we have seen Spain grow into an unbearable superpower. A power that has expanded into Africa, now it wants more of it's riches. 

If they keep expanding their 'republic' all over Africa, they will become a threat to the whole world. Everyone needs to a close eye on Spain and the Iberian League. Hungary condemns the actions of the Spanish Republic.

Hungary would like to also sent humanitarian aid to the people of Ethiopia as they are struggling in the war between these nations. This is a message to Spanish Republic that they end their current path of destruction in Africa before it's too late.”</div>"

""See him?""

Two men laid prone atop a rooftop in Istanbul on a brilliantly moonlit night, looking down at an alley where a lone figure walked. He had his hands in his pockets, a hat pulled low over his head. His posture was casual, yet cautious. He wore a sportscoat and tie, something that triggered suspicion almost immediately. Attached to his wrist via handcuff - also a peculiar sight - was a dark leather attache case. The figure whistled a tune to himself, stepping over the trash and filth that cluttered the damp stone below him. He appeared not to be armed, or at least armed with anything concealable. Even then, there were no obvious bumps or bulges where a firearm would be concealed.

""That's our man,"" one of the rooftop observers said to the other. He passed his binoculars and pointed. ""Same route every Friday. Same fucking briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. Couldn't be more obvious if he was wearing a goddamn Ottoman lapel pin.""

""You think he's got shit of actual value?""

""We know the Ottomans want Istanbul back. The Independents know it. Their observers have spotted buildup. There's going to be an attempt. We wouldn't be here if there wasn't.""

The figure stepped over an overturned trashcan and turned the corner to head west. Moonlight, broken up by the fire escapes and clotheslines, fell across his body and turned him a brilliant shade of dark blue. Just a few meters up the alley were two Armenian agents, dressed in masks and brandishing revolvers and a kitchen knife. The Ottoman courier had no idea. He walked calmly past the two hiding Armenians, still completely unaware. He only then realized what was going on when one of them ran out, grabbed him by the neck, and thrust him into the brick wall.

""Put your fuckin' hands up, dick,"" commanded the other Armenian as he very purposefully put his revolver to the courier's head and clicked the hammer back.

""Shit! Shit!"" the Ottoman courier cried.

""What's a fella like you doing in these parts of town?"" the knife-wielding Armenian asked innocently. ""Seems pretty dangerous.""

The Ottoman tried to move, but the Armenian pressed him further into the wall. The revolver-toting agent reached into his back pocket and took out a brown leather wallet. Opening it up, he grinned. ""Pretty good, pretty good. Lots of liras on this guy.""

""Please! No!"" the Ottoman shouted, before the agent with the knife slipped a hand over his mouth.

""Just take it easy, will ya? It's easier if you don't struggle.""

The Armenian with the gun took his keys next, and then noticed the briefcase. ""What's this?"" he asked. He reached to it, drawing an instinctive attempt from the Ottoman to push the intruder away. ""Business secrets?""

""Goddammit, you can have my wallet! Is that enough?"" the Ottoman pleaded, muffled by the hand over his mouth.

""I want to know what's in here, though,"" said the revolver-toting agent. He ran his hands over the handcuff. ""Especially since it's fucking cuffed to your wrist...""

""Maybe his wife likes handcuffs and shit,"" suggested the other agent. ""Tie her up and have a go, yeah?""

The Ottoman offered no response.

""Can I have the key, please?"" asked the agent with the revolver. He nudged the Ottoman in the back of the head with it, cool metal sending shivers down the victim's spine. ""Listen, I can shoot you here and now and get the key. So would you rather be dead or alive at the end of this series of events?""

The Ottoman hesitated for a moment. ""Alive,"" he muttered.

""What was that?"" asked the knifeman.

""Alive."" He seemed almost shamed.

""Where's the key?"" asked the gunman.

The key was in the Ottoman's breast pocket. It unlocked the handcuffs effortlessly, and the Armenian gunman took the case without further issue. He opened up the silver latches and took a look inside, nodding. ""I can't read this shit but I think I'll keep it,"" he commented. ""It's a nice case, too. Now why don't you head on out before my friend here stabs you?""

The knifeman grabbed hold of the Ottoman's collar and tossed him down to the pavement, before running away wordlessly. The gunman waited a second, putting his gun back into his belt. ""If you like, you can call the police. But we'll be long gone.""

He, too, ran. His footsteps echoed dully on the concrete and he dashed into the darkness, leaving the Ottoman lying facedown in the alleyway. After a few moments, he pushed himself up from the floor, fuming. The goddamn Armenians. Who else would have jumped him in an alley? But now he had to report the loss of the documents. He needed to do so quickly, so the powers at be could have a chance to undo what had just happened. So he ran back to the embassy, as fast as he could. The Armenians got back to theirs faster, and by the time the Ottoman courier had explained his case to the skeptical code room, the Armenians had telegraphed the secret documents straight to the NSS and the waiting eyes of President Hasmik Assanian.

<span class=""bb-b"">Yerevan, Armenia</span>

The code room of the National Security Service was located underground in what used to be a wine cellar. Underneath vaulted stone ceilings bearing carvings of bottles, grapes, and idealized vineyards were the best cryptologists in the nation, aided by their Polish advisers. They sat at typewriters connected to state-of-the-art codebreaking machines: mostly of Polish origin. Much of this advanced technology was exchanged via a secret program referred to as Operation Beta, where the Poles would send their cutting-edge machines and systems to specialized Armenian organizations to test them against the Ottomans in real conflicts, where issues could be identified long before Poland had to go to war. A particularly stand-out example were the wire-guided missiles utilized by select Armenian Army tank and helicopter groups in the war against Ottoman targets, showcasing capabilities and deficiencies that were addressed by design bureaus in Poland after reports were issued. Polish code machines were used to crack the Ottomans' ciphers in exchange for the sharing of the exploited information between Armenia and Poland.

In the back, behind rows of desks manned by clerks and typists - women, mostly, recruited as part of a drive to train women for administrative jobs in the military and security sectors - was a white door with the painted words: ""AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY - ABSOLUTELY NO ENTRY."" Inside was the communications room of the cryptographic department, and two men stood around a fax machine. One was Colonel Victor Ohanian, a member of the Armenian Army Intelligence Corps currently attached as the intelligence and planning liaison to President Assanian's staff. The other was Serzh Dashnakian, the manager of the NSS Cryptography Service. A noted historian - he held a teaching position at the prestigious Armenian National University in Yerevan - with a vested interest in spycraft, Dashnakian had become interested in codebreaking after researching the Great War. At independence, he became the biggest champion of the Armenian intelligence codebreaking service, going so far as to petition Assanian personally for expanded NSS cryptology doctrine. He used his connections in Poland - established during the authorship of his book about Great War cryptology to jumpstart Polish-Armenian intelligence cooperation and, most importantly, bring Operation Beta to include cryptanalysis machines.

The fax machine spat out several pages of documents, communicated from the Armenian embassy in Independent Istanbul. Sent over via radio-facsimile, as the telephone wires between Armenia and Turkey had been cut alongside diplomatic relations, the documents were grainy and monochrome, but still readable. Colonel Ohanian picked a fresh sheet off of the printer tray and turned it over. It had not been encrypted, oddly enough. He turned to Dashnakian. ""Where did the embassy get these from?"" he asked, puzzled.

""Fieldwork,"" was the reply from Dashnakian, with a little smile. ""Generally they don't encrypt courier communication.""

Colonel Ohanian nodded, and the two men waited silently until the documents finished printing. Then, without further word, Ohanian shuffled them into their correct order, put a staple through the corner, and slipped them into a maroon folder marked, somewhat cliche, as ""TOP SECRET."" It would be going to the President and his security cabinet, who were currently sitting in a conference room with the Director. From what the Embassy had told them, these documents indicated that Ottoman action on Istanbul was immediate. The Ottoman Embassy had been directed to destroy its sensitive information and prepare for evacuation in the near future. Military forces had been drilling nearby - albeit on a Turkish military base with no observable difference from standard procedure - and massing for an invasion. The Independent Istanbul Council had believed this for a long time, and had been preparing defenses and asking for help from the Greeks just across the other border. With the Greeks moving in, the Ottomans were motivated to start a skirmish for their capital before they got there.

Deliberately, the men walked through the hallways and up the marble staircases. Past paintings of Armenian saints and warriors, they strode confidently carrying leather attache cases. Dashnakian led the way to the conference room, at the end of the building. Two armed guards were posted at the wooden double doors, dressed in their olive uniforms. They yielded to Ohanian's ID card, and pushed the door open. Inside were President Assanian, Vice-President Pollundrian, Defense Minister Ivakon, and the Director of the NSS: Levon Ladaryan. Ladaryan looked out the window at downtown Yerevan just across the river, while Assanian enjoyed whiskey from a glass. Pollundrian read a magazine, sitting on a wooden chair in the corner next to the flag, while Ivakon leaned against the wall nearby. They all looked at once as Ohanian and Dashnakian arrived, carrying their vital intelligence. Nobody spoke as they dropped their briefcases on the long table and called the leaders to attention.

""I brought enough copies for everyone,"" Dashnakian announced, ""and we have to keep it short. This is hot off the printer and already, action is imminent.""

The men at the end of the table sat down, all gazing intently at the two intelligence-men standing before them.

""We strongly believe that the Turkish invasion of Istanbul is imminent. Their military maneuvers, starting basically since the breakaway, have been getting more intense over the last few months. The pullback of Ottoman forces from their lost colonies has been managed and a large force has been assembled just next to Istanbul. The Istanbulites have been concerned about this since their inception and have been asking other players in the region for help. Greece has already been contacted. We know since they told us they might need assistance if Turkey tried to make a move. Now we have everything short of a confirmation in this letter asking the Turkish embassy in Istanbul to destroy its sensitive documents and prepare for evacuation this coming week. In addition, census data is being used to identify Turkish nationals still living in the city and prepare them for evacuation - or at least to identify and avoid targeting neighborhoods with significant Turkish population.""

""Basically, this is about as incriminating as a diplomatic message will get,"" Ohanian explained, briefly taking off his cover to run a hand through his greying black hair. ""They mention in public that it is not their aim to use force to retake Istanbul but rather to settle their status through negotiation. That is a lie. They are preparing an invasion. At the moment, it looks like the Istanbulites and the Greeks are going to bear the full force. All of the relevant information is on the table.""

Assanian wrinkled his pale face and looked down at the papers, then back up at Ohanian and Dashnakian. ""Thank you, gentlemen. Victor, head back to the palace and get your staff up to speed and prepare for additional information. Mister Dashnakian, I trust you will go to him and the militaries and have them cohesively formulate and intelligence plan?""

""Yes, sir.""

""Alright then, we don't have much time to waste.""

The two intelligence-men nodded, snapped off crisp salutes, and exited as quickly as they arrived. The guards on the other side opened the doors, and they hurried back to their positions. Inside, Assanian and the others exchanged looks. The situation for them had just escalated.

""I wasn't expecting anything this soon, not with tensions between us like this,"" the Director mumbled, shaking his head.

""They don't want another war,"" Assanian reminded them. ""They're in tatters. Istanbul is too important to lose forever, but they won't start a war with us. They want it quick and easy and hope that they can get it before it gets messy.""

""What about the Greeks?"" asked Ladaryan softly.

""We will help them, but keep fighting contained to the Istanbul area,"" Ivakon offered in his thick Russian accent, pacing behind the table and smoking a cigarette. ""This is the doctrine we've written for months. I've talked to my counterpart through the Foreign Ministry and this is what we've agreed upon. Just enough to tip the tide in favor of the Greeks, but not a full-fledged restart of the war. It's a measured response this time. Hasmik and I have talked.""

""Then that's good, I'll keep my eye on the area,"" the Director affirmed. He went back to the wall and leaned against it, sighing deeply. His wrinkled face bore scares slashed across his cheek: Shrapnel from a grenade that had exploded near him during the initial fighting for Armenia. Despite his status as a high-ranking member of the political hierarchy, he viewed his job as a way to prevent war. A small skirmish was an acceptable tradeoff for another raging, three year ethnic conflict.

""Our paratroopers haven't had much experience, they weren't deployed during the war,"" Ivakon said. ""But our plans have them drop in over the city to support the Greeks. Quick, effective, and a nice show of force. If the order comes, we'll be there.""

""We've got to be ready soon,"" said Pollundrian, distantly from the back of the room. He snubbed out his cigarette in a nearby ashtray. ""Ottomans are going to fight tooth and nail for that city, just like they did in the 1400s. Let's not have a repeat of Constantinople.""

<span class=""bb-b"">Joint Base Sevan Lake, Armenia</span>

The conditioning was over, the Candidates thoroughly indoctrinated. The weeks of being woken up violently and forced out into the cold mornings for physical training were mostly over. No longer did the instructors head in at four in the morning and fire off blanks to get the officers-to-be out of bed, but rather downgraded to just an alarm at six and a stern call to formation over the intercom. Physical training was still commenced, but it was easier for them. No more two hour runs in the wooded Sevan hills until everyone threw up on the side of the road. They had much more important things to do. Classroom instruction of tactics, weaponry, leadership, and anything else an officer should know was conducted. The Candidates learned how to use their platoons and squads to take over simulated enemy positions in wargames conducted not unlike a board game. They learned what a squad automatic weapon's most efficient suppression technique was so that they could use it to keep an enemy down behind cover. They learned how to stagger columns to prevent bunching up. They were trained constantly, day and night: Knowledge drilled into their heads. Then came the field week, where they would practice these.

Abbasian, weighed down with a full combat load and a K19U training rifle - a lower-powered version of the ubiquitous K19 battle rifle found within every Armenian force - loaded with rubber bullets and smoke rifle grenades in lieu of traditional bullets and explosives, walked beside his roommate on their way to the staging point. His roommate had been the same Corporal sitting beside him on the bus, a Yazidi with curly black hair and brown skin: Hassam Sulayev. The Yazidi didn't talk too much, but he was evidently born in Azerbaijan before being forced out with his family during the chaos there. He spoke Azeri, Armenian, and Kurdish fluently, and was a similar pickup for the Foreign Legion. They both hypothesized that they were picking foreign-born Armenian soldiers to form an officer core. Diaspora members in particular, from France, America, Russia, and everywhere else, were valued. Their language and cultural skills would enable them to connect to their men and assimilate them into Armenian society faster than a regular unit. It was hoped that the Armenian Foreign Legion would follow the French model, being used as elite shock troops: A grand source of pride for the men there.

The staging point was a circle of tents and rickety-looking buildings in the middle of a forest clearing. The whole ""blue"" platoon was there, while the ""red"" platoon had situated themselves atop a fortified hill in the training area called ""Kajman Point."" It was representative of a typical outpost, fortified and staffed with an equal force. It was a challenge for the blue platoon, since the attackers were traditionally at a disadvantage. Their objective was simple: They were to take Kajman Point and kill, capture, or force out the red platoon. It was just them, with no simulated air or mortar support. Daylight made it difficult for stealth. The platoon leader, a young and short native of Hrazdan named Uzejikyan who looked dwarfed by his flak jacket and helmet, gathered his Candidates around while he stood atop some wooden ammunition boxes with his plans in hand. The plan called for a sudden, aggressively violent strike against the flank of the fortification. The defenders would be caught off-guard and the flood of attacking troops would be enough to collapse Kajman Point from within. The strike would come in from the heavily-wooded northern area.

Abbasian and Sulayev were squad leaders, taking the lead while the other two squads followed behind. Sulayev headed one of the two weapons squads, packing rockets, grenades, and machineguns in support of the raid. Abbasian and the third squad leader would charge up the hill while Sulayev covered him. They trekked through the forest silently, accompanied by an instructor who was grading their every move. Clad in camouflage facepaint and with grass strapped to their helmets, Abbasian's squad believed themselves to be masters of the land. The thought themselves as a pack of wolves, ready to strike and kill. This illusion lasted exactly up until Uzejikyan - walking alongside Abbasian - was hit in the lower back by a rubber bullet. ""Fuck!"" he shouted as he fell into the dirt. The rubber bullets didn't kill, but they hurt enough to leave a valuable lesson.

""Your platoon leader is down, Candidate! Take the fucking lead!"" an instructor answered, running throughout the forest and waving the blue platoon down. ""Abbasian, you're the platoon leader now!""

The quiet hollow pops of rubber bullets hitting their marks - there was no rifle report from a training rifle - sounded as a hail of gunfire came into their position. ""Scatter!"" shouted Abbasian, waving his hands to the side. Sulayev echoed the command, and the platoon scattered behind trees and berms to return fire. They started shooting in the direction of where they thought the fire was coming from in an attempt to suppress the hostiles. The two sides exchanged fire for a moment, another one of Abbasian's men was lost when a bullet plonked off of his helmet. The enemy disappeared into the forest. Abbasian ordered the platoon to regroup while Sulayev jogged out of his fighting position. ""It was a harassment squad, they left the main base. We need to cut them off and destroy them before they get back.""

Abbasian nodded and his hand shot up: ""Hey, we're catching these guys! Hunt and destroy, gentlemen! They went south, let's go!""

Aware that they might be led into another ambush, the platoon took off. They sprinted through the forest, trying desperately to keep up with their adversaries. Through the radio, Abbasian ordered the two other squads to branch off and try to intercept from the west. When the north group caught up, they would shoot at the harassment squad and bog them down. Seconds later, one of Abbasian's troops started firing wildly into the woods. A hundred meters in front of them was a creek, and the red squad was scrambling across it. They had jumped down into it and were wading across while Abbasian gave the order to engage. The seventeen men who were left collapsed into firing positions and let loose. Smoke grenades were tossed into the creek, instructors scored kills based on the simulated blast radius. Three enemy troops were lost to gunfire while another was killed by a grenade. While smoke grenades didn't actually hurt the victims, the instructors were sure to shoot them anyways, if only to make sure they knew they were dead. Abbasian's western flank came in moments later and finished off the red squad. ""All clear!"" someone shouted.

""All clear!"" echoed Sulayev from the northern flank.

""All clear! Red squad is down, let's reform!"" commanded Abbasian, jumping down into the creek where two red team soldiers sat against a tree, clutching their hits and moaning. He looked over at them. ""That hurt, fellas?"" asked Abbasian with a grin.

""Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it,"" grumbled one of them. ""Shit's gonna leave a nasty-ass bruise, man.""

Abbasian smiled again and jogged back to the forefront of the platoon. Sulayev remained crouched down behind a tree branch, rifle sighted down south. ""I don't think they'll come out of their base to get these guys, if that's what your suggesting,"" observed Abbasian. ""I'm not sure if the squad leader radioed back in that he was under attack, but he must have. They're already thing on defenders, we can exploit the advantage.""

""We can't come in from the north,"" Sulayev responded, shaking his head. ""They know we're here.""

""Actually,"" the platoon leader said, an idea shining in his head, ""we can.""

He dropped down to the dirt and grabbed a stick from nearby. He motioned for the other squad leaders to come over while their teams pulled security. Scraping away the grass with his feet to reveal bare dirt, Abbasian drew a circle that represented Kajman Point. He put an X at the north, at the creek. ""We leave a squad here to play diversion. The rest of us heads down to the south. The squad up here begins their assault just as we would have normally, spread out to maintain the illusion of multiple elements. While the defenders believe that a frontal assault is underway, the rest of us head in from the south. They'll be pointed in the opposite direction and we can overwhelm few, if any guards."" As he spoke, he drew arrows across the dirt representing what he was planning.

""What if they do look for their lost squad?"" one of the squad leaders brought up.

""It'll be a squad or fireteam element, nothing more,"" assured Sulayev. He nodded in approval, cradling the rifle in his arms. ""We can ambush them like they did to us, except we don't pussy out and retreat.""

Abbasian nodded. ""This all look good?"" he asked. ""Any suggestions?""

""I think my only addition is that we leave Sulayev's weapon's squad up here,"" one of the squad leaders offered. ""We have the heavy weapons to mimic a full assault. More firepower with less people.""

""Good, I'll take it,"" Sulayev said instantly.

Abbasian nodded again, standing up to drag his foot across the plans and destroy them. ""We'll circle wide around Kajman Point and radio when we're in position.""

The sun began to set over the forests of Sevan as the blue platoon circled the fort. They were tired, dirty, and running low on water. The escapade through the forest had exhausted them. It took them almost two hours to reach their strike position. Abbasian believed that the extra two hours of uncertainty would affect the defenders negatively: They had no idea what was out there and what had happened to their scout team. Anyone could come from anywhere. The tensions would be stewing, they would make mistakes. So when Abbasian radioed in for the north group to begin their mock raid, the defenders flocked to destroy what they thought was an outnumbering onslaught. A firefight broke out to the north of Kajman Point and Sulayev's squad did their best to pretend to assault the compound. He was losing men, and he only had a few to spare. Abbasian was leading a charge up the steep dirt hill by the time Sulayev was hit and put out of action. With a battle cry, the blue team surged over the sandbagged walls of Kajman Point and massacred the unsuspecting red team. It was nearly nightfall before Abbasian hoisted the blue flag over the battlements of Kajman Point.

A truck had arrived at the top of the fort to load the two platoons into for the trip back to the barracks. Abbasian loaded up his soldiers, counting them as they went aboard. Last was him and Sulayev, who packed up the tailgate and locked it in. An instructor headed in with them, sitting across on the other bench. He nodded in approval at the blue platoon leader, simply stating: ""Good job, Candidate Abbasian.""

Sulayev smiled and patted his roommate on the back. Abbasian let out a heavy sigh and leaned back into the seat. He was just as exhausted as the others. Uzejikyan, sitting next to the instructor, rubbed his lower back and offered his own congratulations.

""You'd make a fuckin' fantastic PL one day, man.""</div>"

Had this been the beginning or even the middle of Claro’s term, he would have ordered troops to Africa in no time. Now with the election he knows sending troops would be a disaster for his opinion rating.”<br/><br/>“I don’t care how many people want to hop on a boat and sail over there to fight, the majority of people wouldn’t care about Spain until they’re landing in Recife,” remarked another. ""You hear that Hungary's offering aid to Ethiopia now? Maybe if there's enough of us Spain can't kill us all.""<br/><br/>“Hey, everyone! Listen up!” shouted Luis Geraldo, the head diplomat of the embassy. “I have just been informed that no less than the Minister of Foreign Relations herself is about to show up on our front step in ten minutes!”<br/><br/>The look of shock on the staff’s faces was evident, many of them had never met the woman who was in charge of all diplomacy for the <span class=""bb-i"">Republica do Brasil.</span><br/><br/>“And as such, you will clean up all this mess and have everything looking respectable by the time she arrives, lest you be headed back to Brasilia. Am I clear?”<br/><br/>“Yes,” came the chorus.<br/><br/>“Good.”<br/><br/>The next few minutes were a frenzy of activity, as everything was neatly replaced back into its proper locations, people went back to their work desks, and televisions were muted.<br/><br/>So much so, that when the Minister was escorted in her first comment was on how clean and orderly everything looked. There was an inaudible sigh of relief amongst the embassy staff, and things quickly returned to normal.<br/><br/>Luis escorted her into his office, and after shutting the door he returned to his seat.<br/><br/>“Mrs. Moreno. To what do I owe the pleasure of your sudden visit?”<br/><br/>Adelina settled herself into the seat directly in front of his desk.<br/><br/>“I do apologize for the sudden nature of this visit, President Claro did not even inform me my presence would be necessary here until yesterday.”<br/><br/>“Yesterday?” Geraldo balked at this news. “You must have been on-“<br/><br/>“The first flight this morning, yes,” Adelina said exasperatedly. “It was quite a shock to me as well.”<br/><br/>“What business here up in the Far North is so important?” Luis asked half-jokingly.<br/><br/>Adelina took a breath. “President Claro has sent me to personally attempt to conduct a reset of relations between the United States and Brazil. With Ethiopia, our closest friends, under attack and Addis Ababa predicted to fall within the next two months, Brazil urgently needs new allies.”<br/><br/>“America is one of the few places with little Spanish or Chinese influence, Mexico notwithstanding. But that is not expected to last for much longer for the same reason: when Africa is free of socialist sentiment, the Americas will be the next target. We need to ensure that we are powerful enough to reject Spanish influence, and we cannot do that alone. We are, after all, only the biggest fish in our small pond.”<br/><br/>Luis rubbed his beard in thought. “I definitely follow your line of thinking, <span class=""bb-i"">Senhora</span> minister.” “What do you need from me?”<br/><br/>“Some stationary would be nice,” she remarked.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">To Lillian Mather, Secretary of State of the United States of America:<br/><br/>Greetings. I offer both my congratulations and the congratulations of my President, Adriano Claro, for President Norman’s victory in the recent election. The ouster of President Eric Fernandez is a major victory for the American people in the struggle against communist influence. As you know well, Brazil and the United States have had tense relations under the Fernandez administration, mainly because of its association with the Third International. Now that this membership is over, however, Brazil would like to extend the hand of friendship to the United States, and collaborate to ensure the stability of the Americas against outside threats.<br/><br/>To that effect, President Claro has asked me to request the initiation of formal diplomatic talks in order to reset United States-Brazil relations and determine in what areas our two nations can work together in the decades to come.<br/><br/>-Sincerely,<br/>Adelina Moreno, Minister of Foreign Relations for the República Federativa do Brasil</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b""><span class=""bb-i"">Brasilia, Brazil:</span></span><br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">Olẚ</span>, everyone.” The President settled down in his seat at the end of the Cabinet chamber in the Planalto Palace, the headquarters of the Brazilian executive branch. “Please, have a seat.”<br/><br/>The eight present ministers and the Vice President, Jonathan Feliz, sat down, leaving only one open seat – for the Minister of Foreign Relations, absent on a diplomatic mission to America – at the table.<br/><br/>Claro straightened his back, and leaned slightly forward. “I hereby call this meeting of the Cabinet of Brazil to order.” He then smiled congenially. “Hopefully not my last, certainly?” The others laughed, if perhaps a little nervously, as everyone was before an election.<br/><br/>He first turned to the Minister of Agriculture, as was customary. Armando Monteiro was his name, son of one of the oldest plantation families in Brazil. “I am happy to report that the subsidies for chemical fertilizer have been enormously productive, <span class=""bb-i"">Senhor</span> President. My statistics show that over the last four years, agricultural output has increased by no less than twenty-one percent, while the number of farmers continues to decline. This clearly shows our farmers are not only significantly more productive, they are also more efficient. There is some concern surrounding the runoff of these fertilizers into the Amazon-“ Monteiro shot a dark look at the Minister of Science, who coughed in agreement. “Those concerns will no doubt be remedied with time.” Claro nodded, and turned to the Minister of Defense.<br/><br/>“President Claro, with news of the Spanish attack on Ethiopia our generals have recommended a strengthening of the defenses along the Atlantic coast, a suggestion I readily agreed to. We have stationed additional troops and aircraft along the more susceptible areas, and emplaced additional anti-aircraft guns.” Several members of the Cabinet looked dubious at the idea that mere anti-air guns could defend against jet aircraft. “I have brought to you the idea of creating physical defenses, of actually constructing forts or garrisons on the coast to make an amphibious landing even more impossible.” Casimiro Silva was loyal to his core, a true military man, who would never consent to any momentous decisions without consulting him, an attribute which Claro greatly appreciated.<br/><br/>Claro sat thoughtfully for a moment, before shaking his head. “I feel that would be both expensive and premature. We have no evidence that Spain even intends to attack us, so far.” He looked next at the Minister of Trade and Development, Estevao Madeira, who had been shuffling through papers. Upon noticing Adriano’s gaze, he hurriedly began speaking. “President Claro, our industrial base has continued to grow under our watchful supervision. Oil production is up considerably, and the chief executive of Petrobras believes that by the end of the century we should be competitive with Spain in the volume of oil and oil product production.” He shuffled through his papers once more, before pulling out one in particular. “The most pressing issue now is the proposed Venezuelan pipeline.”<br/><br/>“Oh, goodness. This again?” Claro frowned considerably. “I am all for the expanding of our petroleum production, but I have heard about the Spanish pipelines in Africa. There are tales of entire villages sick, wells poisoned, as a result of leaks. Pipelines are far too prone to damage for me to ever consider piping oil from Venezuela to our refineries in Brazil. If I am reelected, I firmly intend to veto that bill regardless of what splinter faction of my party votes for it.” “With that settled, I will now hear the report of the Minister of Education.” Calista Torres, the youngest member of the Cabinet, spoke up. “The Expanded Rural Education act you passed three years ago has proven invaluable to my department. Literacy rates in rural areas have increased from 50 to 75 percent, and the overall literacy rate from 80 to 85. In my firm opinion, the state of education in this country has never been better.”<br/><br/>The Minister of Finance, Eduardo Victore, straightened his glasses. “The 1979-1980 budget is extremely solid thus far, <span class=""bb-i"">Senhor</span> President. The national debt has been reduced to 122.4 billion real, which is marvelous considering that is barely over 10% of our GDP. As our population ages social security expenditures are expected to rise significantly, but by then we should have the financial resources to combat it.”<br/><br/>The Minister of Justice, Benjamim Franco, knowing his turn was next, quickly followed up with his report, despite its significantly darker tone. “There has been a recent outbreak of crime in the coastal cities, with the expansion of both organized and petty crime. Interior cities’ crime rates continue to decline, but this explosive crime wave we are seeing is both without precedent and unexpected. Police authorities have ramped up enforcement, but the end is not yet in sight.” President Claro looked sharply dismayed. “Ensure that they are getting all of the resources necessary to combat this. If we need to send in the army, we will.” Franco nodded. “Of course, sir.”<br/><br/>Claro turned next to the Minister of Science, as the meeting began to draw to a close. “Senhor Estevez, have we made any notable breakthroughs on the rocketry project yet? Anything of the kind?” Joao looked remarkably sour. The failures of his department were well known throughout the government and were beginning to gain a reputation as a complete waste of time. “As you well know, President Claro, our scientists are trying as best as possible to attempt to create an experimental jet or rocket engine. As we speak we are experimenting on multiple different types of fuel.” Monteiro, eager to rectify the slight about the fertilizers, could not resist commenting. “Have you ever considered that maybe there’s nothing wrong with the fuel? Maybe your rockets are just bad?” Claro gave a sympathetic look, but said “Please, Armando. Let the man speak.” Clearly attentive to the dogpile which was forming on him, Joao merely said, “I will have them redouble their efforts.”<br/><br/>The Minister of Labor, Marcelo Neri, looked up from his newspaper and laughed. “<span class=""bb-i"">Senhor</span> President, surely we do not need a minister of labor with yourself as President, but perhaps I will be of use to a Liberal administration.” “As a result of your enlightened policies, workplace productivity has continued to rise…” He let that sink in for a moment. “Except amongst the state-owned industries. There, it has essentially remained stagnant. I would recommend increased discipline to match those of private enterprise, if they are to remain competitive.”<br/><br/>Claro nodded, and returned his gaze to the center of the table. “I’d like to thank you all for your reports. I hereby declare a recess.” The ministers filed out, and Claro turned around in his chair merely to gaze out of the window at the sloped walkways and neatly trimmed grass of the Three Powers Plaza outside.</div>"

As the sun disappeared behind the horizon, weary Georgians dragged themselves home to avoid Polats patrols after curfew. The common power cuts plunged entire neighbourhoods into darkness, making a birds eye view of the troubled city state a patchwork of light and darkness. This also made the city twice as dangerous at night.

Beria Street was a hub of activity compared to the timid suburbs. At the end of the street, a makeshift blockade had been hastily erected, consisting of parked jeeps packed together with sheets of metal thrown on the sides. Groups of Polats men crouched behind their street-wide barricade, each clutching a rifle and staring at the oncoming crowd of Georgians in steely silence.

At the opposite side of the street, the marchers moved at a steady, well aware of the dangers Polats men possessed but showing no fear. At the front of the crowd, forming a thin human shield for the unarmed protesters, a vanguard of armed Georgian Guards had formed. In typical Guard fashion, they clutched every kind of weapon in their hands, from handguns to assault rifles.

""That's close enough"" growled a Turk over a megaphone, clearly leading the force who sat behind . Some marchers slowed and fell silent, unsure whether to continue but their comrades marched onwards, screaming profanities at their oppressors. A group of communists began a chant of ""UNITE! UNITE!"" which was eagerly copied by the rest of the march.

""Go home, citizens! This protest is illegal and all of you will be prosecuted under the Illegal Gatherings Act! It is passed curfew. Return to your homes"" called the Turkish major from behind his barricade. Despite talking into a megaphone, the Turks words were drowned out by the roar of ""Unite! Unite!"" from the protestors.

A large Georgian broke out from the crowd and ran towards the barricade, a flaming bottle in his hands. With an audible grunt, he swung his arm back and then threw it as hard as he could towards the barricade. The bottle sailed through the air in a wide arc before falling short of a metal barricade, exploding into a mess of petrol, alcohol and glass across the road. A small fire formed where the bottle had smashed before sputtering out in moments. ""Shit"" said the Georgian, jogging back towards the safety of the marchers.

Where his projectile failed, others did not. Encouraged by the mans balls, soon pieces of rock, bottles and even a piece of furniture were being thrown at the barricade. Some hit their targets, most did not but they kept throwing at the encouragement of Davit, who had flung a rock through the window of jeep from halfway down the street.

""We are warning you for the final time, citizens"" crackled the Turkish major over his megaphone. ""Return to your homes or face immediate arrest"".

The marchers kept walking, chanting ""Unite! Unite!"" and profanities at the Turk. A rock flew dangerously close to the Turkish majors head, to which he gave a yelp of surprise.

""Right, fuck this"" shouted the Turk, throwing his megaphone onto the ground. It shattered into pieces of plastic across the ground. ""Sir?"" asked an officer. ""Fire at will. Polat will have my bollocks if we let this scum into Freedom Square"" growled the Turkish major, angrily dismissing the officer with a wave of his hand.

The officer bit his lip. It was against his better judgement to follow such a rash order. Provoking these protesters could potentially turn them into rioters. But, he was still only an officer. It wasn't his job to question orders.

""Yes, sir"" he nodded bitterly before turning to his men. ""FIRE AT WILL.""

<span class=""bb-b"">Outskirts of Batumi</span>

The seargent gulped on the cannister greedily. ""Jesus Christ, I needed that"" he panted, wiping a stray drop of water from chin with his sleeve. He handed the water back to Adamia, who took it with a bemused grin on his face.

There were 20 rifles, 10 men, a large dog and a crate of ammunition all crowded in the jeep, which moved slowly down the road. ""Seargent Mamuka, correct?"" asked the driver, who was also presumably the leader. ""Yes...sir? And who are you?"" replied Seargent Mamuka. ""General Sabuari of the Georgian Guard. These are my men. Perhaps you've heard of our adventures in the countryside?""

Everyone in the Guard had heard tales of Sabuari and his cell of guerilla fighters in the countryside surrounding Batumi. They attacked isolated Adjarian barracks, stole from convoys and were rumoured to have more weapons than they knew what to do with, all stolen from dead Turks. Sabuari himself had earned a reputation for being a shaggy tactical genius, as well as being a staunch Georgian nationalist, a devout Orthodox Christian and a radical republican.

Seargent Mamuka gulped slightly. ""Yes, sir"" he said, slightly shocked that Sabuari had even thought about coming to Batumi. ""What are you doing in Batumi, sir?"" asked Seargent Mamuka, composing himself. ""We're helping you lot with your assault on the barracks"" shrugged Sabuari, slowly turning a corner in the jeep and peering into the darkness.

""B-but that's a secret mission! We weren't told you'd be here, sir"" replied Mamuka, confused. ""Change of plans"" replied the General shortly. The guerillas all chuckled at the confused look on his face.

""So how'd you five get caught by Turks?"" asked Seargent Janjigava, one of the guerillas, from the front seat. ""They jumped us on our way to the barracks, sir"" grunted a soldier from the back. ""Brown bastards"" spat Janjigava.

Seargent Mamuka sat back and glanced out the window behind. Five men and the large dog, who only seemed to listen to Sabuari, were sat in open air back. One private gave him a grimace as the large dog licked him across the face and Mamuka could only grin.

""So, sir, what's the plan?"" asked Mamuka. ""Full assault on the front gates of the barracks. When we're in, you and your lads make a beeline for the weapons cache and my lads will cover you"" answered Sabuari.

""You what, mate?"" snorted Mamuka, wondering if he was joking. Perhaps Sabuari wasn't the tactical genius everyone made him out to be.

""First of all, Seargent, you will refer to me as 'sir', as I am highest ranking officer on this <span class=""bb-i"">fucking mission""</span> snarled Sabuari, pushing down on the brakes of the jeep sharply and glaring back at him. ""Secondly, according to the information given to me by your fucking higher ups, the barracks will be half empty as every other soldier is out in the streets suppressing Georgians protesting. If you don't want my help, Seargent, I can kick you all out and drive back into the countryside. Is that clear, Seargent Mamuka?"".

""Yes, sir"" replied Mamuka, pouting slightly.

""Good"" grinned Sabuari, speeding the jeep up slightly. ""Now prepare yourselves. It's going to be a long night"".</div>"

Pavic moved toward the presidential office at a quick pace; there were news, urgent news. On his right hand were a pile of clipped papers, typed in an organized fashion, line by line until it filled with bottom. A few pages had the occasional graph or chart. Pavic was in his early forties, and like the many of the other people in the palace, he dressed formally and walked firmly. He navigated around the hallway mazes, passing through groups of people muttering to each other. Pavic knew the presidential palace by heart; after all, he was one of Dvornik's several assistants and advisors. 

Soon enough he had reached the tall double doors of the office. Pavic gave the door one short series of knocks. ""Come on in, Pavic. I know it's you,"" a voice responded from inside. 

Pavic took a deep breath and opened the doors – his body peeked in, seeing a man in a brown suit. Fifty years had aged Dvornik. A tie lay folded next to the table lamp, and the light-gray haired man leaned back on his seat, fiddling with the radio set in front of his stacked papers. Pavic's message was quick and short: ""Serbia's in the Iberian League, Mr. President.""

""I understand, Pavic,"" Dvornik answered, straightening up and adjusting the lamp slightly toward him. ""The ongoing conflict between Spain and Ethiopia is a problem toward our own interests. Our trade routes are stuck: Spain controls the Gibraltar, and now, the Suez Canal. Issues may start to get ugly in the Mediterranean. And now Serbia's just adding to those problems. Inactivity won't do anymore.""

""...And Hungary, sir.""

""Yes, Hungary,"" Dvornik muttered, his hands interlocking with each other. ""My concern lies not with Ethiopia. Honestly...I don't give a shit about the affairs in their continent. They lie a thousands of kilometers away from us, through land and water. Aid would be impossible either way. But if we don't take sides, Serbia will become more confident and attempt to take Bosnia away, and soon enough, our own nation.""

Dvornik sighed and slid inward, placing one wrinkled hand at the table, and another on his forehead. He recalled the start of the conflict between Slovene-Croatia and Serbia; he was only a high school student when Reunification occurred. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, he had made his decision. ""Send a diplomat to Hungary,"" he suddenly replied. ""We need to make sure Serbia doesn't act out of hand. Right now, we stay quiet until Serbia acts, or we're certain that Prussia, Austria, and Hungary backs us up.""

Pavic nodded quietly and took his leave; his footsteps echoed down the hallway, and Dvornik looked back at his papers. 

""Make your move, <span class=""bb-i"">Dragan</span>.""

––––––––––

Adél Bak, President of the Republic of Hungary.

Mrs. President,

I must give you my approval and sincere respect toward your recent speech toward the increasingly imperialistic actions of the Iberian League. Such actions threaten the peace and stability of Africa and Southern Europe – we, the Dual Republic of Slovene-Croatia, are against these aggressive actions. 

We are also concerned with the joining of Serbia in the Iberian League. They, like Spain, have a history of constant aggression and intimidation. We fear, that with the help of Spain, Serbia will begin to harass and throw the Balkan countries into a state of war for its own interests of expansion. 

So we would like to send two diplomats to Budapest for talks over this increasingly frightening conflict. Serbia may intend to threaten the prosperity of our nation; it may threaten the prosperity of yours as well. Rijeka and Pula will also be opened up to assist in bringing aid to the Ethopians beyond the Mediterranean.

With respect,
Andrej Dvornik, President of the Republic of Slovene-Croatia.</div>"

“Link arms!”

The heavyset black man in a suit and tie shouted over the din at the black protestors. They all stood in a long line down Jackson’s Main Street, over two hundred of them blocking traffic as they marched towards the Mississippi state capitol building. Looming ahead of them were Mississippi State Patrolmen in riot gear complete with nightsticks and hard plastic shields. Isaiah Wolde, the Ethiopian, stood front and center with his arms looped through those of James Calhoun and James’ daughter Sarah. 

Sweat beaded on James’ brow partially due to the stifling early summer heat of Mississippi. The sweat was also due to the sight of the policeman with their clubs. His jaw was still wired shut from a beating the Natchez police had delivered to him ten days earlier. Marching headlong towards more cops with weapons wasn’t appealing to him. James looked at the crowd of white people gathered on both sides of the street to yell at the protestors. The white people on the sidewalk were on the verge of rioting with a police barricade and guards the only thing that kept them in check. It was odd for the police to protect them as they protested, but he imagined it was because they didn’t want the civilians ruining their chance at beating in as many black heads as possible. James caught a glimpse of red hair somewhere on the sidewalk and felt his insides freeze up. He could barely talk with the metal mesh keeping his mouth shut, and he was grateful for that every time Wolde looked his way. Those dark eyes behind the lenses of his glasses seemed to cut right through him and compelled him to confess his sins. 

He had agreed to be an informant for the Agent Hyatt and the Federal Crime Bureau, helping them track Wolde and his movements. James felt ashamed at acting as a turncoat, selling out this growing movement and his own people for personal gain… but then he looked at Sarah and knew he was doing it for the right reason. He cared about all the negroes out there not getting what was promised to them so long ago, but it wasn’t worth seeing his family suffer. He could suffer being an Uncle Tom as long as Sarah and his two sons were left unharmed… but here she was. She ignored his pleas to stay at home and came to Jackson to walk on the state capital in the name of justice.

“Remember something, James,” Wolde said softly in is ear. “In your Bible, the prophet that I take my name from wrote ‘no weapon forged against you shall prevail.’  Remember that.”

James felt tears welling in his eyes as he nodded at Wolde and his kind advice. This man who cared so much about justice for his people could not be the demon Hyatt had made him out to be. A shrill whistle broke through the noise and James’ head snapped forward. The state troopers were marching forward to the protestors, nightsticks held at the ready.

“Do not fight back!” Wolde yelled. “We are peacefully protesting. Civil disobedience is our right as American citizens. Stay strong and keep moving.”

From the back of the crowd, singing started to filter towards the front until everyone was singing, even James who hummed through his closed mouth.

“It’s been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come,” the protestors sang en mass as they marched forward to meet the clubs of the white policemen.

“And she’s actually here in D.C.?”

Lillian Mather squinted up at Liza. The young staffer nodded to her boss, who cursed and sat back in her chair. She knew from the way the Secretary of State tapped her finger on the wooden desk that she was lost in pensive thought. Liza had been working for the Secretary of State for six years and knew her personally three years prior to coming to work at State. Lillian was her Poli-Sci professor at Columbia and Liza was brought along for the ride when Lillian was appointed Undersecretary of State by President Fernandez.

“What should I tell them, ma’am?” Liza finally asked after a long minute of silence from her boss.

Lillian looked at the paper on her desk and reread the diplomatic communiqué before she finally spoke. 

“Brazil’s foreign minister just cold calls us like that, showing up in Washington and wanting to renegotiate our relations."" She sighed and looked at her assistant. ""Liza, what do you think?”

“Really?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.

“That’s what I pay you the big bucks for, kiddo,” Lillian said with a wry smile. ""Enlighten me."" 

“I think they’re trying to find friends to cozy up with,” Liza said without hesitation. “The scuttlebutt is that it’s only a matter of time before Ethiopia falls. All you have to do is look at a globe and you’ll see that Brazil is a perfect beachhead into South America if Spain feels inclined to reach out across the Atlantic. It’s from hunger, ma’am. And there’s the political slant…,” she trailed off.

“Don’t tease me, child. Get on with it.”

“President Claro is up for reelection next month. Every single report coming out of the country indicates that the race is a complete toss-up. Claro wants a big foreign policy get just before Election Day. I think he’s using us.”

“Getting closer to a stronger nation for practical and political reasons… sounds like our own Commander-in-Chief, right?”

“It’s a world of haves and have-nots,” Liza said, shrugging again. “We chase China, Brazil chases us, and someone chases Brazil. There’s a political power food chain.”

“Right,” Lillian said, smacking her teeth. “Doesn’t mean I have to like it. I want you to pass Mrs. Moreno’s message on to the White House, along with a two-page analysis laying out the situation as you just did for me. Ask for official instructions. Get me everything you can about Claro and his opponent, I want to know who we’d like to win this election. After that send her a reply that we have received her offer and it is being mulled over by the White House for an official response, but we can have an unofficial get together. Women diplomats are rare and I’d like to extend a dinner invitation to her just the two of us, or us and translators if need be.”

Liza scribbled the Secretary of State’s instructions down on a notepad and nodded furiously while Lillian spoke. 

“I’m on it,” she said before scurrying out the office to get to work.

Sitting on a bench, Jim Sledge couldn’t help but grin when he saw the crowd gathering in front of the stage in Grant Park. Just from eyeballing the crowd he could tell they were nearly three hundred strong. Most of them were Polish and Italian working class people who got the fliers advertising the rally. They were all from Representative Bill Barnwell’s congressional district and were excited to be there. Not because of Bill, the man was about as exciting as waiting for a bus, but because of the fliers Jim filtered through the district advertising the rally. He made sure to underline that the park gathering would have free beer and barbecue to everyone who showed up while it lasted. It had all the makings of a successful political gathering except one little thing: Sledge didn’t work for Barnwell. Instead, Jim was paid by Bill’s Republican primary challenger Scott Dickson. Dickson was challenging an incumbent who was mostly liked in his district. To win, Jim had to pull a few tricks out of his hat. They called it rat-fucking, and when it came to rat-fucking nobody was better than the Sledgehammer. 

“Welcome,” Barnwell said as he got on stage and took the mic. “Wow, uhh... big crowd today.”

“Where’s the food!?” Someone in the crowd shouted.

“We want beer!”

“What?” Barnwell asked with a puzzled look. He glanced at someone off stage. “I don’t… I don’t know what they told you, but there’s nothing here. We don’t—“

The crowd broke out into loud boos. Sledge’s grin widened at the openly hostile display. If only he had brought torches and pitchforks they could have a good ole fashioned mob scene on their hands. Well there was always next time for that. Flashbulbs starting going off near the stage, no doubt the <span class=""bb-i"">Tribune</span>reporter assigned to cover the event. There was still a few more weeks until the primary, but with a misstep like this Dickson would be able to easily close the gap. Jim got up from the park bench and casually walked towards his car while Barnwell tried to get a handle on the rowdy crowd.

“Congressman Promises BBQ, Gets Egg on Face,” he told the workers back at Dickson campaign headquarters downtown. “I’ll bet someone twenty bucks that’ll be the headline in the Metro section of tomorrow’s paper.”

“I’ll take that bet,” Juanita, one of the office secretaries said. 

“You got it,” Jim said with a wink.

He walked to the cramped workspace that served as an office. Dickson’s fundraising wasn’t the best by a long shot. Most of the money was going to Jim to manage the campaign. Even with his hefty price tag it was far less than his usual amount. With an off-year election coming up he needed something to keep his political claws sharp and this was the challenge. He’d gotten plenty of offers from politicians across the country and even outside of it after managing President Norman’s campaign, but he had turned everyone but Dickson down. He liked being back on the ground after having to manage something as large as a presidential run. Here he could be hands-on. Plus with a schoolboy like Norman he could never pull of a rat-fuck like he had just done. That was the kind of shit Russell Reed liked. The two of them had spent many long nights on the campaign trail talking up tactics only for St. Michael – his and Reed’s private nickname for the president—to shoot them down. There was none of that here. Dickson was hungry and he would do anything to win. In short he was Jim’s kind of candidate.

“Mr. Sledge,” Juanita said as she came through the door into his office. “Carla just passed me this message, I’m sorry I didn’t give it to you when you came through the door but, Vice President Reed left you a message while you were out. He needs you to phone him as soon as you can.”

Jim grinned again and winked at his secretary.

“Speak of the devil. Darling, be a peach and get me a line to D.C.”</div>"

<span class=""bb-i"">Tch. Clink. Tch. Clink. Tch. Clink.</span>

A team of workers cut away at the undergrowth of vast, untamed Jharkhand territory to clear the way for a railroad line to connect Calcutta on the eastern banks of India to Gaya, and by extension, Sukkur in Pakistan. Their bare backs tense and glisten as they swing their machetes, their axes, their picks and their hammers to the silent beat of a layman’s labor. Behind them a group of men, armed with large-caliber rifles and wearing camouflage slacks and Indian army berets, anxiously scan the tree line for slivers of movement. The Jharkhand is an untamed wilderness, home to the regal and ferocious Bengal tiger and the mountainous and powerful Indian elephant, and the slightest lapse in their vigil could bring the construction of the railroad to a grinding halt.

It is midday, in the later part of the summer season. The temperature soars to an excess of one-hundred-and-twenty degrees fahrenheit. The sun’s rays scorch the backs of the laborers who lay blisteringly hot steel track behind the felling team with heavy sledgehammers. A foreman watches over them - an army colonel, six feet tall and dark - he rides a small stream carriage over the freshly laid track at a crawling pace behind the laborers, with a train laden with rations of food and munitions for the work crew. He yawns and looks to his aide: a young boy, maybe nine or ten years old with short, curly, unkempt black hair and relatively light skin; he is shirtless, like the majority of the day-laborers, and his stomach is flat and his arms are skinny, but his legs are muscly and his feet are dark and callused.

“Hey, Joseph,"" the Colonel beckoned to the boy, ""Run to the advance crew and tell them to come back. It's lunchtime.""

The boy smiled and nodded excitedly, ""Yessir!"" 

Then he took off, the boy's bare feet smacked against the hard-packed red clay of the Jharkhand. He ducked and weaved between swinging sledgehammers and hoisted steel rails, between the fit young men who moved the rail and the hearty middle aged men who hammered them in place.

A voice bellowed, ""Timber!"" up ahead.

A tall tree creaked and groaned as it fell to the ground, kicking up lose dirt with a <span class=""bb-i"">thud</span>. The cloud of dust clung to Joseph as he leapt over the tree

""Hey, kid, watch it!"" the lumberjack yelled after him.

Joseph turned around and laughed, ""Sorry!""

He ran through the treeline, his feet smashed twigs and leaves into the soil. Up ahead, the crew was busy hacking away at the underbrush with dull machetes as the soldiers kept a careful eye on the treeline.

""Hey! Hey!"" Joseph waved at the crew, ""Come on! It's time for lunch!""

A young man, maybe seventeen years old stood up and slid his machete into a leather sheath on his waist. He held his arm outstretched, held it in the elbow of his other arm, and twisted about his waist. He could feel his spine crack and he groaned as he dropped his arms and rolled his head. The man turned around as the boy Joseph ran up to him. He smiled and ruffled Joseph's dirty black hair.

""John! Stop it!"" Joseph whined.

John laughed and started walking through the forest he had cleared, holding his hands behind his head - Joseph. The more one watched them, the more familial the pair looked. They had the same curly black hair, the same light skin, and the same lithe build (despite John having much more defined arms and abdominals). The pair were unmistakably brothers. John had scars up and down his back

""How much longer?"" Joseph asked.

""What do you mean? You just ran it.""

""That's not what I meant,"" Joseph pouted.

John laughed, ""I know,"" he sighed, ""We probably won't finish before the rainy season."" 

""Oh..."" Joseph looked down at his feet, ""What will we do then?""

""I dunno, take the train back to Calcutta I guess.""

Joseph nods solemnly, ""I hope we finish before then.""

""Yeah, me too.""

John looks down at him, pats his back, and gives him a reassuring smile. ""It'll be alright.""

<span class=""bb-b"">Bombay</span> Adm. Banister's Residence

""Oh no! Captain! We're sinking! Ah!""

Liam Banister laughed as he slowly pulled the toy boat beneath the surface of the water. His daughter, three years old, clapped her hands and giggled, ""I sunk daddy's ship!""

""You sure did, Christina,"" he chuckled, ""you'd make a fine captain someday.""

""You think so?""

Liam smiled as he lathered up his hands with a flowery-scented shampoo.

""The very best,"" he said as he began to run his hands through her long blonde hair. She smiled wide and they laughed together.

""Alright, cover your eyes.""

Christina pressed her hands tightly over her eyes. Liam scooped up water in his cupped hands and poured it over her head to wash out the lather. 

""And we're done,"" he said as he stood up, water dripping from his bathing shorts. He held a hand out to Christina, ""Come along then. Let's get you dried off.""

She nodded and pulled herself up with his help, he grabbed her under the arms and hoisted her over the edge of the bathtub. She picked up two towels from a cabinet as he opened the drain to let the water out. She held one out to him and he smiled, ""Thank you, dear.""

She beamed, ""Mhm!""

He laughed and wiped her down with the towel before wrapping her up in it, ""There you go, now go on and let Anita dress you. I won't be long.""

She nodded and turned around before scurrying off down the hall. Liam chuckled to himself as she left and strode to the large mirror the hung over his washbasin. He turned the faucet and looked at himself in the mirror. He stroked his graying, curly, captain's beard and ran his hand over his thinning scalp.

""Getting old, aren't I?""

He laughed to himself and covered up with a white bathrobe. Before making his way to his bedroom and changing into a crimson red smoking jacket, black trousers, and black leather loafers.

Before leaving, the old admiral pulled open the drawer of his nightstand and pulled out an ornately carved box. He opened it up and pulled out a smoking pipe, made out of carved ivory and inlaid with gold, as well as a tin of pipe tobacco.

He sat on the porch of his sea-side estate, not far from the busy port city of Bombay, rocking in his chair and smoking his pipe as he watched the tide of the Arabian sea go in and out. His little girl sat at his side, on the ground, coloring in a book of blank pages with wax crayons of all hues.

He flipped his pipe over and let the ash fall on a plate at his side before laying his head back on the chair and closing his eyes for a well-needed and well-deserved mid-day nap.

<span class=""bb-b"">Former Tribal Areas, Pakistan</span> Unknown Village

<span class=""bb-i"">Takka, takka, takka, takka, takka, takka, takka...</span>

Bullets whizzed overhead, creating little puffs of dust where they connect with the dirt behind a group of Indian soldiers. They were pinned down by machine gunfire coming from a village on a rocky outcrop. 

The village was occupied by tribal Pakistani rebels opposed to their ancestral lands coming under Federal rule. A unit of ten Indian soldiers was deployed to the region to put down the resistance. The two sides exchanged volleys of gunfire for several hours, with the Indian soldiers gaining no ground.

On a nearby hill, however, an Indian marksman took aim. He lined up his sights with the machine gunner's chest and let out a long, deep breath before firing.

Miss.

He readjusted and fired.

Miss.

Again.

Bullseye.

The machinegunner was sent spiraling backwards and with the suppression lifted, the soldiers rushed the village.

Later that evening, around a campfire, the soldiers reveled in their victory and drunk to their health. The deployment's NCO pulled their marksman aside, ""That was some fine shooting, Lance Corporal Singh.""

""It could've been better.""

""Bah! Don't put yourself down, kid. You're good. I got a telegram from General Jones, he wants to reassign you to the first brigade.""

""In Delhi?"" Singh asked, astonished.

""Yep, says he could use a fresh sniper.""

""Well when do I leave?"" he asked, excitedly.

""What're anxious to leave us, boy?"" the NCO let out a hearty chuckle, Singh laughed awkwardly.

""Kidding. You leave tomorrow morning at dawn. A truck will take you straight to the capital. You're going places.""

""Thank you."" Singh smiled and nodded his head.

""Dismissed.""</div>"

Dusty pastures and whipping and bending sandy roads passed below as the wing of Herons shuddered over the clouds. The dull hum of the engines singing muffled songs in the pilot's ears through their leather flight helmets as they tore along. Somalia roaring at the speed of sound below their chrome wings.

The light of the African sun shone bright through the cockpit windows. Glimmering like diamonds from the drops of dew that smacked against the fiberglass with each cloud they tore through. Before long the droplets peeled off, tearing off the glass in the blink of an eye as the roared high above the horn of Africa.

“Chin Wu,” the radios cracked, “This is Han Wen. Permission to speak?”

“Talk.” Wu replied flatly. To his side Wen flew in his identical silver bullet. The Herons were untested for combat rolls, a first of their generation. He felt confident in them, their regular training runs over the sea ensured he and the rest were already accustomed to this new style of flying. It was something several pilots on base were jealous of. Or were scornful.

“If I'm reading my fuel gauges right then it looks like I don't have much left in my tanks. I'm just a little under a half full.” Wen laughed nervously, “I mean, fuck. If this takes too long then we're not making it back to Addis. We're coming down over Mogadishu.”

“I always wanted to see Mogadishu.” pipped in another through the radio static. He held a familiar high-pitched voice.

“Maybe if you let the Spanish shoot you some you'll get to visit, Song Yu.” Wu cackled back. But jokes aside, he couldn't pretend he wasn't nervous. He shared the same doubt as Wen.

“We'll make it.” he said hopefully over the radios, “All we need to do is shake them off long enough for the craft we're protecting to get away. If they can re-route themselves then they should be able to get on ahead long enough for us to refuel and – command willing – meet up with them and see them to their destination.”

“Why is it we're obsessed with royals?” Yu demanded, “We kick one off the throne in home to bring him back in, then we make sure every fucking one we're buddies with stays in office.

“Last I checked, this isn't how things are supposed to go.”

“I'd keep those opinions to yourself.” Wu puffed angrily, “I'm sure there'll be some questions for you and a nice dark chair.”

“I understand sir, I'm just saying.” Yu replied apologetically.

“Well stop saying. We're coming on the coast.” Wu snapped. He leaned higher into the cabin. The blue glow of the sea shimmered through the distance and the fog of clouds. “Run one last weapons checks. They're live now.” he ordered, turning up the plastic switch guard on the top of the joy stick. He gentle stroked the smooth red button with a gloved finger and took a deep breath. It was a sensitive thing, a mere twitch could fire the cannons mounted under the craft's wing. He reached out to the consoles and flipped up his targeting reticle. With a breath he hoped deeply things were calibrated.

“All set, comrade.” his wing men reported.

“Destination is the island of Socotra. Eighty degrees from north on our position. Weapons are live, engines still burning hot. Ten minutes ago we received a distress call, I hope you all remember that.”

The sound of Wu's wingmen agreeing chimed in. “This is Heron 1 leading in for an attack. On a narrow wedge, heading to destination.

“Man Shen, I know you're going to go over these recordings when we get back. So let me add: you still owe me.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Anqing, China</span>

“Though the tortoise blessed with magic powers lives long,” Mang Xhu quoted, strolling between the dinner tables. A glass of water raised high in his hands as if toasting the room. His voice boomed and rolled over Cao Cao's lyrics as he walked betwixt the gathering of industrialists. Tables laid flat with white linen, glasses of wine, and plates of pork were the gift of this campaign banquet.

“Its days have their allotted span.” Xhu continued. His thinning black hair combed smooth over his head. He was trim in his black suit. A red lapel pinned to the collar. He was confident, but knew Anhui would be a hard sell prefecture. It was agricultural, thus loyal to Auyi. But he had to make the effort. This was his home. 

“Though winged serpents ride high on the mist, they turn to dust and ashes at last.

“An old war-horse may be stabled, yet still it longs to gallop a thousand miles.

“And a noble-hearted man though advanced in years never abandons his proud aspirations.

“Man' life, whether long or short, depends on man alone.” he smiled, holding out the porcelain cup of water. His eyes shone at the quick and subtle change in lyrics. Dodging the poem's later topic and implications.

He gave a strategic pause, offering his people the time to chirp up. And they filled it with light applause. A sprinkle of hands clapped in the wooden hall of Anqing's town hall. The wide windows now situated behind Xhu letting in the bright cool light of the afternoon. The Dabei mountains rose up above the edge of the provincial capital in the distance as the chamber's view peered out over the low roofs of the city. Isolated pillars rose in the distance between them and the green mountains, like the remains of a great ruin the spanned the city. The smoke stacks of factories.

“The allotted days of the Europeans are coming to an end.” Xhu said, bowing to the warm applause he got, “China is rising in the east and we will soon bring down upon them the fury of the setting sun. The serpent that long ago divided our nation so it may be devoured by the nymphs is aging, and we will be there to scatter its dust with the fire of revolution!

“The Chinese mission is not at an end, and is yet to continue. We have not stepped to climb Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng. We may have put our foot on its heavy face. But we have yet to truly climb to its peak and conquer the challenged before us. We may own its base, having extinguished the European camps at its foot. But even here there are forces that could usurp our rightly given bases and deny us our chance to climb up, and throw boulders down upon them.

“There are enemies around every corner. The Revolution in Asia is not yet finished. We have sadly permitted the bourgeoisie Empire of Japan to survive well passed its expiration date. We thought this is mercy, but it is only a prolongation of its suffering. Like an injured boar it breaths weak across the sea. We must ride to it and lay the boar down to sleep for good. And with the final blood drawn from the Empire we will have freed the Japanese, and sought the last revenge for the suffering that have given us! We have not forgotten!

“And even so we have Siam, the other aging tiger. Its jungle will its downfall as revolution and liberation sweeps it and deposes its king. And unto Burma we will promise the same before we finish the work we started in India. We have a legacy to live too. One of strength, not of weakness.

“Division shall not be abide. The lines in our nation will need to be erased – as too the lines we permit in the International.

“And then, what of the old serpent? We shall bring them the gift of worker's revolution. We will steal  them. Run the mission of socialism. Achieve true Communism when the west does fall. They already quiver and shake fearfully. Jumping at shadows in the apes from Africa.

“Will we forget the Summer Palace?” he asked, weaving between the tables. He stopped and gave pause in the room's nexus. Holding his words and searching expectantly for a sound. A word. Some form of denial. “Have we truly forgot the Summer Palace? A magnificent structure, the peak of the Chinese culture. What was once hoarded, that should have been made the public right of every man, woman, and child in our nation?

“Will we abide its loss without revenge? Do we not wish upon the English and the French the same culturcide they have wrought on us? An eye for an eye. As they taught. The suffering of one made up for by equal act. So to will we occupy their lands, their precious colonies, and turn into dust their monuments. To say to them, 'This is what you did to us'.

“We should permit weakness to control the nation. We should only permit strength. Given the success of a good administrator. And a masterful tactician. I have fought to lead the Revolution!” Xhu boasted, “I was there, leading the heroes who liberated the nation once more, and sewed multiple parts into one body!

“What can Auyi say to this?” he asked, “Hardly naught. His position his short. I was long. He is a young upstart and a rebel. So why do we vote for him?

“Comrades and brothers in shared blood. I am the one who is ready.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Intelligence Bureau, Beijing</span>

“What's this, all right here?” an agent asked, raising a hand up to the blown up aerial photograph. The back lighting glowed through the photo paper, giving the black-and-white patchwork of shapes a ghostly illumination.

“It looks sort of like a military compound.” replied another, walking up alongside his partner. He squinted his eyes at the blotchy details. All along the sides ran a series of similar pictures. The two looked up and down the series of images.

“Where did the notes say this base was again?” the agent asked.

“On the southern edge of the Atlas range. GHH-04 puts the approximate location at about 19 degrees north and 7 west.” another said from the back of the room.

Yan Sing craned is head to the side. His body tingled with the sensation of curiosity as he took a draw from his cigarette. This was their second batch, he'd come down when someone said they found chemical trucks.

And now he stood again in the dark room looking at field intelligence laid out on sheets of plastic paper.

“Commander Sing, what's your thoughts?” the agents asked.

Their commander didn't respond. He scanned along the successive series of photographs with a distant stare in his eyes. “Why circle about a rock in the desert?” he asked suddenly.

“Are they hiding weapons under that mesa?” an underling asked.

“Weapons. Probably.” Sing growled, walking up to the line. He stopped short of one, looking into the granular splotchiness of an exploded photo.

“Comrades, what do you transport in tanker trucks?” he asked.

“Chemical components, sir.” one replied.

“And what operation needs to be guarded by the military, serviced for the air-force, most likely?”

“Chemical weapons?”

“And what's the chemical weapons that Spain has?”

“VX, comrade.”

“Ship this to the rest of the branches. We're holding onto this information. File a request to put this site under monitoring. I want to know as much of its schedule as possible. Rotate planes on it. If they can, I want an ID on everything that goes in and out.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Urumqi, Xinjiang</span>

The train had pulled into the station late in the afternoon. A clear sky highlighted the capital of China's western fringe. It was a city tucked on the edge of the desert. Resting between two mountain tops in a valley it called its own. As the train swept north from the dry dustiness of the desert the first thing its passengers had seen on its approach was not a class and steel maze, rising like a ghost in the haziness of the horizon as they soared over rocky hills and swept over the cracked Earth on a June day. Marking where the city stood they saw the mountains, the green shield, the ice caps just beginning to melt.

As they neared the city the Taklamakan cleared to pastoral green fields, feed from the Bogda Shan mountains that marked the city. As they drew in closer the much drier and cracked counter part to the Bogda Shan rose in the horizon as the first hints of Urumqi's administrative quarters poked out of the horizon. The Tian Shan were much like a sharp and jaunting spine of rock than the greener Bogda range.

The city itself was a time capsule. Entering it Auyi and his family felt themselves going back through time. The old mud and stone structures of the desert felt and looked more akin to a passage torn from medieval Persian stories, inter-spaced with the sun-baked Chinese relics of the past century than it was a city of modern value. At times as they passed the Uighur neighborhoods and in the shadows of towering minarets could they see the distinctive glass and cement industrialism of Chinese bureaucracy in the city's core. Its own administration and that of the province as a whole, an egg of dark glass in a nest of beige and brown stone, white plaster, and blue ceramic glittering like sapphire gems from mosque domes and park gazebo roofs.

Still despite its alien fantasy Auyi saw what he considered a hint of home in its streets as the train crawled to the station. Whipping over crossing guards he caught the passing glimpses of trucks and wagons. Though caked in dust they were all the same laden with the produce of the region's efforts. Cages of chickens, bales of cotton, and bushels of wheat packed in tight and heavy in the beds as farmers made their way in to sell the excess of their labor.

The train station was – besides the distant administrative buildings – the city's most modern piece of infrastructure, though out of place. Likely built in the 30's, the building felt and sounded like something out of Russia or Europe. Its towering cathedral ceiling was a patchwork of yellowing, sun-stained glass set in iron lattices. Solid red-brick walls enclosed the platform and offices from the outside streets and contained the piped audio of train arrivals and announcements in both Chinese and Uighur. Security had cleared for them a way through, allowing the minister to be to his designated cab on the street. But not without the handshaking and waves expected from a candidate for public office.

“You're going to be meeting with Sabit Afdeer.” Shanxi Wu dictated as soon as they got in their cab, “He's the leader of the local Uyghur council representing both them and the Hui groups in the north. He's also a prominent figure down south, namely he's a congressman from Kashgar.”

“So what's he doing up north then?” Auyi asked.

“Trying to keep things together.” Bathukhan replied in a slow draw as he took a seat alongside Auyi. The doors shut as Bao Yu and Jie squeezed into the very back of the government coach.

“Hui and Uyghur both have been strenuously affected by the religion laws of the state and how often they flip-flop. For us in the East it's hardly an issue, faith – or lack there of – is pretty homogeneous and most districts haven't had a severe problem with it. There's no argument when what the people do mostly practice is sanctioned by Beijing.”

“I understand that much.” Auyi agreed, “So the law hasn't been very stable here then?”

“As minister of people's affairs, you obviously don't tune into much news.” Bathukhan laughed. He waved his hand dismissively in the air. He disregarded the innocent slip. “It's stabilized in the past few years but some members of the community have become upset that the Han side of the local government thinks that they can shut down Mosques. The situation became tentative almost several years ago when most of the Hui moved west out here and skewed the religious demographic towards Islam. Last update to the religion law said that Muslims were as native to China as Daoists, at least out here. Sabit Afdeer negotiated the peace between the Muslims and Urumqi. Uyghur and Hui make up just over half of Xinjiang now, we don't need violence.”

“I imagine he has a lot of clout then.”

“Incredible. He doesn't need to be in Kashgar to be seen as a hero. He's almost to them as Hou is to everyone else.” Bathukhan nodded, giving a breath of subdued praise. The chauffeur pulled them out into the street and into the veins of the lost city.

“Sabit will treat us to a private dinner at his residence.” Wu recited from his notes as they wound into the streets, “Last I got in touch with his people I was told we'd get a half an hour alone. Local-level news outlets will be present however for a brief question and answer with Sabit. Afterwards he'll introduce us to the informal Xinjiang Uyghur council before we eat.”

“Excellent.” nodded Auyi. He glanced back at his son and asked: “Bathukhan, does he have any children?”

“Sabit is about as old as I am. He's got grand children. But none of them will be present.” he droned. “Not last I checked when I heard you were going.”

Auyi bit his lip and nodded. “Damn.” he muttered in a subdued whisper. Jie however didn't seem to notice as he watched the passing city through the rear window. Too hypnotized by the foreign landscape to care. His mother gently stroked his back, smiling gently as they went.

“Should we go over possible questions, or do you think you can do it ad hoc?” queried Wu.

“I think I'll ad hoc it, thank you.” Auyi nodded, watching the city.

“Beautiful place, shame I never came this far west until now.” he said softly, watching the front entrance of a mosque as they passed.

-------------

“Qarshi alimiz!” the old man boomed as he opened the door. Round and jovial, he almost bounded along the floor as he invited his guests in, “Minister Auyi, it's a pleasure to meet you for once.” he said, turning to the minister as he entered.

Sabit Afdeer was by no means a shrunken man in his age. His presence was inspiring as he stood over the minister from the east. His cheeks flush with rose red as he smiled behind a thick wiry beard, specked with cream. “I hope you don't mind I don't extend the proper greeting,” he apologized heartily, his voice as big as he was a man, “But I couldn't help to indulge myself in left over pilaf so I'm afraid I know I got some in my beard.

“Come, come. Sit down please. Before the journalists arrive.”

“Thank you.” Auyi smiled. He felt nervous around the man. For being an old horse of a figure his energy was like that of an unstrung child. His sagging wrinkles and thick sun-cooked leathery face did little to hold back what was his age. The entire image of him as he saw him made him mildly uncomfortable. For years he had become accustomed to the slow and calculated age of the normal politics in Beijing, where even the young bloods in politics had a timely speed. Almost meditative in their ways.

But here he now was, in the political home of a figure who by all means looks to have decided everything so far behind the spring that should be coiled was sprung and free.

“I'm afraid we don't have much in the ways of introductions to do.” he said, walking around his living room. Or more pacing as he worked between the chairs and tables. Arranging and re-arranging them. “I had to do most of the work myself. I frankly didn't feel my staff could get it right.” he apologized, showing Zhang Auyi a thick red leather arm chair. An identical stood next to it.

“I can't help but feel that's not the only reason.” he smirked, amused at the intensity of the old Uyghur. He was by no means either a figure who looked like he was born in China. He was tall, his Asian features softened by a certain Caucasian nature. His nose wide and bulbous, rising out from his face and pitted. He like wise could look in his glowing blue eyes and confuse him easily enough for being Russian. His long wiry hair – now white – could have once probably been a sandy shade of blonde.

He looked over at the Minister with a polite smile as he brushed the cushions of a couch off to the side for his wife and son. Bathukhan stood in the corner watching with Wu. “Quite right.” he said, “But tell me, Auyi. When you're not playing the Beijing game, what do you do?

“Oh, and Wu. Did you want to take up my tea offer?” he asked suddenly.

“I'm fine.” Wu replied from his corner.

“Then sit down. You too Bathukhan, I know I watch you lurking the edge of the chamber a lot. But this is a home, not the Congressional Hall.” the Mongolian bowed his head and laughed, nodding agreeingly to Sabit.

“I've picked up Photography, towards the end of the Revolution.” he said.

“You and I, we seem similar then.” Sabit said. His pace seemed to slow, as if getting over the initial rush of having visitors. “I painted, for a while. Was never very good, but I insisted with people.

“Like a photographer I found, I wanted to find the best angle for my subjects.” he stepped back, gliding to the far end of the room, “And I think our vulture friends will have the good one.”

“So that's why you're doing this alone?” he asked.

“Indeed. Back in the forties I met a photographer from Russia who had been traveling central Asia. I was a young man then, but when I saw his magic box I had to stop him and ask. I followed him around Kashgar for the week, playing assistant. He had energy, like myself. Taught me a bit about light on his stay. I had the impression he was judging me. Trying to find if I could be his protege.

“In the end, comrade. I had my own things in Xinjiang. For the growing political storm. I knew I couldn't go to Moscow with him to study. But I did take what lessons he had at heart, and I observed.

“And lately now, even with my hobbies set far aside for my obligations and duties as a leader among my people I don't forget. I like to doctor my own settings.”

“That sounds fascinating.” Auyi complimented, “I for one am more a landscape man.”

“A man for the wider image then.” Sabit smiled, taking his own seat in an identical red chair next to Auyi. “The journalists should be here in five minutes. I'm distressed – if not surprised – you're late. With any luck they will be too. But necessary evils, if I must comment. Shall we go over anything first?”</div>"

The goat groaned in protest, struggling in vain against Julio's weight. The senator-in-exile glanced down upon the animal beneath him, and his eyes met with the upward-facing eye of the goat. The rectangular pupil darted wildly about before locking with those of Julio's, and he could feel the animal relaxing beneath him.<br/><br/>""Sssssh. It's alright,"" Julio lied. A few strides away, one of the Tuareg playing host to the marooned Spaniards filed the blade of a crude dagger down against a whetstone. The abrasive sound of steel slipping past stone served as a grim reminder of what was to soon transpire.<br/><br/>The leathery-skinned Bedouin gingerly tested the blade against his fingertips and, upon finding it sufficiently sharp, stooped down over the goat's head with the knife in hand. Julio maintained eye contact with the beast beneath him until the moment of slaughter had arrived. With a wincing grimace, Julio averted his gaze to the canyon walls behind him and allowed the Tuareg butcher to do his work. A soft half-bleat escaped the animal's throat before the knife severed it. The goat gave a series of rapid twitches for a few seconds longer and quickly fell completely limp. With his assistance no longer necessary, Julio returned to his feet and stepped away to give the Bedouin sufficient space to butcher the goat.<br/><br/>""Have you never seen a life taken before?"" Dejene, the foreign-born African who spoke Spanish, approached Julio and watched as the Tuareg unceremoniously went about skinning the goat, the sand under his knees soaked in bright red blood.<br/><br/>""I have,"" Julio affirmed, recalling a firefight he had witnessed in southwestern Armenia where had witnessed a sniper strike two Ottoman conscripts dead. ""I've seen men shot. But I didn't have anything to do with them in those cases - they would have died had I been there or not. But there was something about the goat...""<br/><br/>""Remorse."" Dejene concluded. ""You assisted in the slaughter.""<br/><br/>""That's it. I feel guilty... I suppose I <span class=""bb-i"">am</span> guilty.""<br/><br/>""You should feel no guilt,"" Dejene coldly offered. It was the goat or you.""<br/><br/>""How do you suppose that to be?""<br/><br/>""See it in this way: if the goat did not die, it would be you and your countrymen here that must die. The clan can scarcely feed themselves on their own. Your arrival, along with the others that came down in that airplane, has complicated the matter. There is simply not enough food to go around. If these goats are not culled, then you and your countrymen must starve. It is as simple as that: it was the goat or you.""<br/><br/>""I see,"" Julio nodded, understanding but still plainly dejected.<br/><br/>""It was merely a goat, but it's no different than killing a man. I have killed many men during my life, I do not feel remorse for a single one. Because each one of those men - without a single exception - meant immediate harm to myself or people dear to me. I do not regret a single bullet. So long as you only take a life in defense of yourself and yours, that you lead your life in such a way that more good than bad comes of your time on this world... you should never feel the slightest twinge of remorse for a life taken.""<br/><br/>""Thank you for your thoughtful words. I hope I should never need to consider your advice, but I appreciate it nonetheless.""<br/><br/>""I'm afraid this won't be the last time you are confronted with the need to take a life.""<br/><br/>""What do you mean by that?"" Julio asked, confusion and anxiety creeping across his face.<br/><br/>""What do you think I mean?"" An expectant Dejene asked. ""Did you expect these men to go to such great pains to feed and maintain you and your countrymen without repayment? We scarcely need a hundred Spaniards to carry water and help butcher goats. But we are in dire need of men who can carry a rifle, who know the organization and language of our enemy- men who will join us and ride out against the occupiers of this land.""<br/><br/>""Most of us have never held a gun in our lives."" Julio complained. ""We don't know anything about that facility. We know absolutely nothing about the organization of the Spanish military. So we will be of no help in fighting the military. If you send us against them, it will be a slaughter. Where exactly does sending untrained civilians against the regular Spanish army fall in that philosophy of yours?""<br/><br/>""This is not the way we wanted this to happen, Zuraban."" Dejene snarled. ""The Spanish gunships are combing the region with diligence. Shooting that plane down disturbed them far more than we could have ever anticipated. It is only a matter of time now before the Spanish find this place and destroy us before we can strike. We must carry out our attack against the Mountain - <span class=""bb-i"">La Cabeza</span> - at once. I had wanted to give your people some training in handling weapons but there is simply no time left. I will save the people they've taken to that place, and if I must trade their freedom for the lives of a handful of Spaniards then it's a fair trade by my reckoning.""<br/><br/>Julio's face drained of its color, and the shady canyon gully began to spin dizzily about him. Julio had seen battle firsthand more than once, but he had never fought himself. Save for a few tips he had gathered in passing whilst covering the last war in Armenia, Julio had no knowledge of conducting warfare. Joaquin - the policeman from Madrid - at least he had some experience handling a sidearm, but as far as Julio knew, none of his fellow prisoners had any experience in combat. These were hardly ideal circumstances for assaulting a heavily fortified outpost guarded by the Spanish military.<br/><br/>""Tonight, Graciela, myself, and the Amghar will discuss our aims. Give yourself plenty of rest today; in the coming days you and your countrymen must be prepared to fight if need be.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Straits of Mandeb</span><br/><br/>They flew high and slow, rumbling angrily through the nebula of clouds generated by the monsoon squall. A wing of Gargola bombers eight strong merged together into a long, wavering line on the southern end of the anvilhead clouds growing above the southern Red Sea. And they were not alone; a dozen propeller-bound Halcon fighters bobbed and skirted alongside the monstrous bombers The higher-pitched drone of the high performance engines that powered their nose propellers sang in alto above the baritone hum of the Gargola engine pods.<br/><br/>They had come from airfields in the east of Egypt - Ismailia, Suez, and a stretch of usable tarmac at the demolished airport at Port Said. From the commandeered airfields, the Spanish squadrons leapfrogged from the aircraft carrier and the flagship of their armada: <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira de Dios</span>; the bombers had sufficient fuel to cross the length of the Red Sea for the first bombing campaigns against the Ethiopian homeland. But those first strikes were now on hold as a new target for the Fuerza Aerea had been discovered. A reconnaissance flight carried out by a blisteringly-fast Fantasma had sighted the anemic remnants of the Ethiopian Navy. And from the plexiglass enclosed noses of the Gargolas, the pilots could see them now as well.<br/><br/>Where the Red Sea funneled into a narrow channel - the Bab El Mandeb - a string of miniscule gray dots formed a diffuse line from the Ethiopian coast to a miniscule island just off the Yemeni side of the straits. The last Ethiopian fleet, the survivors of two invasions from across the Red Sea, formed a defensive line between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Ethiopian line would deny the Spanish Armada the ability to land its army at Jibouti, or it would perish in the attempt.<br/><br/>The Spanish squadrons would see that they perished.<br/><br/>((<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-CpuuseZ7s"" rel=""nofollow"">Suggested listening</a>))<br/><br/>Five of the Halcones banked out of the attack squadron and plummeted down toward the Earth, and another three split off and followed in behind them, diving down at dizzying speed to the Ethiopian fleet. The vast distance between the Red Sea and the planes was closed rapidly, at which point the fighters leveled out only a few hundred feet above the whitecaps of the choppy waters below. At this altitude, the Ethiopian warships loomed on the horizon and the beginnings of exhaust trails billowed out from their smokestacks as their engines throttled up to maneuver against the airborne attackers.<br/><br/>The Halcones punched the throttle in turn, roaring above the waves and closing in on their prey in two loose waves. Tracers shot from the decks of the Ethiopian vessels in sweeping arcs at the approaching fighters as the sailors opened up with their anti-air guns. The Halcones drew lower still - only a few dozen feet above the churning sea, an altitude so low that deck-mounted guns would have difficulty aiming at the incoming planes. The fighters split apart from their formation, steering toward the largest and sturdiest vessels of the Ethiopian flotilla. Within two kilometers, the air around the Halcones periodically burst into hot shrapnel and smoke as the African flak guns opened up. Even so, the Spanish planes were not deterred. When the Ethiopian vessels before them grew into mountains of steel, the Halcones released their weapons upon the Ethiopian fleet: torpedoes.<br/><br/>Heavy tubes of black metal tumbled off the wings of the fighters and plunged into the water, generating geysers of frothy seawater that splashed against the wings of the fighters as the swooped up to climb away. Bubbly contrails of ghostly white snaked ominously under the waves toward the Ethiopian vessels. No sooner than the torpedoes were away, the deck guns fired upon the underwater serpents loosed upon them by the Spanish. With the Ethiopians' attention diverted, the fighters shot skyward over the decks and smokestacks of the fleet - at this proximity they were mostly safe from flak shrapnel. Mostly.<br/><br/>The sailors aboard the <span class=""bb-i"">Kebra Negast</span> scored a lucky shot indeed with the flak cannon. Their gun launched an explosive shell into the very heart of a passing Halcon fighter as it climbed away from its torpedo run. The shell remained lodged within the fighter's fuselage for a few brief seconds before exploding. The Halcon emerged from the ensuing fireball as a rain of smoldering hunks that plummeted down into the waves. The pilot was soon avenged for the fiery death that had befallen him. The torpedoes he had launched against the cruiser had found their mark beneath the hull of the vessel and exploded deep underneath her bow and, moments later, her midsection. The sea around her hull instantly boiled and plumes of ejected steam and water shot skyward about the hull. The surviving pilots watched with satisfaction as the <span class=""bb-i"">Kebra Negast's</span> back broke under the strain and the ship's very hull bowed inward and immediately inundated.<br/><br/>The first wave of torpedoes had burst beneath several of the larger Ethiopian vessels, exacting considerable damage against them all and mortally wounding two. The three planes in the second wave concentrated their torpedoes on the unscathed destroyer <span class=""bb-i"">Ras Makonnen</span> and the <span class=""bb-i"">Gambela</span>. Four torpedoes rocked the <span class=""bb-i"">Ras Makonnen</span>, completely splitting the vessel evenly down the middle, but not before her anti-air guns shot down one of the planes responsible for her demise. The shot plane lost control on its escape ascent and cartwheeled down into the waves. With their torpedoes spent, the remaining fighters circled about amongst a barrage of anti-air shells and flak bursts, and then turned about to face the fleet with their wing-mounted machine guns. The Halcones bobbed and weaved through the stream of metal and shrapnel racing toward them before raking the larger vessels with long pulses of gunfire. The smaller torpedo boats - too small and nimble to waste torpedoes on - were easy targets for swooping gun strafes. Streams of tracers riddled the Ethiopian patrol boats, sometimes setting them ablaze or even striking the high-explosive torpedoes and causing them to explode. Amongst the rising plumes of diesel-fueled smoke, the anti-air shells, and the masts of moribund Ethiopian warships, the Halcones darted, strafed, and swooped with the maneuverability of swallows.<br/><br/>Even so, the Ethiopians presented a vicious fight. Even as their vessels listed and sank into the churning waves, the Ethiopian guns continued firing. A passing Halcon took a shell to the belly, permitting a stream of fuel to pour out vigorously into the air. The Ethiopians fought to keep their feet planted against the decks as the whitecaps crested above the hull, but they paid no mind; revenge was all they considered as they kept the guns trained on the swooping airplanes. A Halcon took a flak shell to the nose, showering the plane in shrapnel. The sputtering plane flew through the puff of black smoke with a shattered windshield and then careened into the sea with a mighty splash.<br/><br/>And then a new sound joined the cacaphony of battle: an angry piercing whistle. It grew in pitch and intensity until it reached its climax in a concussive blast that thundered across the sea, and then another, and then another five. The <span class=""bb-i"">Gambela</span> was now totally ablaze, her forecastle a smoldering wreck. The bombers had joined the battle at last.<br/><br/>Bombs whistled angrily from the sky, dozens of them and continuing to fall by the second. Some splashed down into the water, bursting just under the surface to generate colossal columns of frothy water. Others found their mark on the decks of the Ethiopian warships, burst with tremendous force. A separate string of bombs rained down upon the <span class=""bb-i"">Adwa</span> and the surrounding waters. Sailors lept from the doomed ship to escape the fires and suffocating smoke.<br/><br/>Torpedo boats and patrol cutters swerved this way and that, breaking formation to avoid being crushed by a capsizing cruiser or destroyer. Those smaller ships with enough integrity to sail broke for the African shores at full speed. They would fall back to Jibouti with the aim to repel a landing there in whatever capacity they could, with air support perhaps. But even if the Spanish planes could be repelled, the Ethiopian fleet was effectively destroyed. A ragtag smattering of cutters and torpedo boats would offer no resistance to the full might of the Armada that would be upon these waters in a matter of hours. There was no reason to stand and fight, and so the remaining ships scattered for the coast.<br/><br/>Satisfied with the destruction they had wrought and their fuel allowance all but exhausted, the Spanish fighters backed off and turned back to refuel on the deck of <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira de Dios</span> some two hundred miles to the North. And even though there were a few planes with plenty of fuel to hunt down the routing Ethiopian boats, they were allowed to escape nonetheless. They would present no danger to Admiral Santin's fleet, but instead return to their superiors. Those survivors would bring news to the Ethiopian people that the hurdles to the Spanish advance had been brushed aside.<br/><br/>They would bear that worst of news: that the stopgap defenses were all exhausted; the battles that would decide the fate of the Pan-African Empire, perhaps the fate of the world as a whole, would be fought in ancient Ethiopia.<br/><br/>Whatever the outcome of that struggle, the Blood of Solomon would be spilled across the last bastion of free Africans.</div>"

<span class=""bb-i"">Creeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaak...creeeaaak. Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaak...creeeaaak.</span>

Back...and forth. Back...and forth.

The rocking of the porch chair was almost like a heartbeat, in a way: a constant pulse that could keep an aged mind going on, if only for so long. And the mind occupying the chair at that moment was one that desperately needed rest.

President Romano Felipe Mondragon breathed calmly as the seat moved back...and forth. Back...and forth.

He was tired of it all. He was tired of the political lifestyle; tired of the incompetent legislators; tired of the spineless peers of his party; and, most of all, tired of the damn <span class=""bb-i"">comunistas</span>.

Back...and forth. Back...and forth.

The <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span> had been losing their support. He had known this from the moment he had entered politics in his younger years; the people of Mexico could no longer see that powerful spark of passion that had driven the party in the first years it dominated the government. It had begun to falter, wilt in its own bureaucratic inefficiency. Back then, he had believed, though a few party members were beginning to see the cracks in the <span class=""bb-i"">Partido's</span> federal dominion.

But even he had come to realize the faults rupturing throughout their government, if only at a time too late to do anything about it. As incompetence arrived with the newer members of his party, so too came political stagnation and a large decline in popular support. It seemed that the only thing that saved them from a complete loss of power was the lack of any other political party to oppose them; the <span class=""bb-i"">Partido Revolucionario Institucional</span> was simply a giant that could not be toppled.

Until the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Partido Comunista de Mexico</span> had grown just as huge.

Back...and forth. Back...and forth.

Those China-loving <span class=""bb-i"">diablos</span> had grown overnight, it seemed. The merger of several leftist organizations and minor parties had resulted in the birth of an enemy that could actually face down the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span>. And for the record, they did manage to present their ideals and arguments well enough to the people that they actually liked them. They actually <span class=""bb-i"">liked</span> them! The very thought that a nation of the new world would be so open to leftist ideology...it both baffled and enraged the President. With all of the damn <span class=""bb-i"">comunistas</span> surrounding him, he might as well be in Vietnam! Or hell, maybe even Siberia!

It disgusted him. And yet, the tide of the peoples' hearts turned in the favour of his enemies. He and his party had to act fast if they were to keep their power.

Back...and forth.

Yet his most loyal generals were aging, and the most cunning and capable were in turn sympathetic to the cause of the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunistas</span>. This meant a crackdown or an assassination was impossible, lest he wish to have the most dangerous dogs in the pack turn against their masters.

And it was then that his peers suggested a compromise. A <span class=""bb-i"">compromise</span>! To actually work with the leftist pigs would be a betrayal of their party, he had argued. Yet they, in turn, pointed out that the party did not have much time left, and that they had to buy as much time as possible; a compromise was the only way to assure the continued survival of the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span>' dominion.

And he had agreed.

Back....

But even now, his peers showed their true idiocy; they were willing to give in to the demands of the <span class=""bb-i"">comunistas</span>, but couldn't even agree on what legislation would best suit them, let alone actually <span class=""bb-i"">pass</span> said legislation. It had to be ""just right"": not too helpful to the leftist cause, not too damning to the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucional</span> way-of-life. In the end, they barely made any changes; the only big change that they could make a claim to was after a night of heated debate, in which the exhausted morning afterwards gave way to an application to join the China-led Third International. That had been a controversial move between the party members, let alone the entire country. Yet still, the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunistas</span> were pleased, and so was their ever-growing base of support.

...and forth.

Still, it had not been enough. His party had been too slow, too inefficient; now they had faced the most recent elections, a vast battle that pitted the tried-and-true <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span> against the rising <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunistas</span>. The votes were cast, and the results came in.

Back....

The <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span> had lost. But they didn't just lose some; they lost <span class=""bb-i"">all</span>. Only three of the one-hundred and twenty-eight seats of the Senate remained in their hands, and only five out of five-hundred of his peers in the Chamber of Deputies could say the same about their position.

...and forth.

And just <span class=""bb-i"">whom</span> had taken the title of Presidency?

Back....

It was the head of the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunistas</span> himself, Hernando Estevez.

...he stopped rocking.

Leaning forward to put his head in his hands, Mondragon took a deep breath. Using his thumbs to massage his temples, he tried to stop thinking of that <span class=""bb-i"">diablo</span>, that <span class=""bb-i"">monstruo</span> that had taken <span class=""bb-i"">HIS</span> office. Such a disgrace! Such a shame! To think that he had failed to stop a <span class=""bb-i"">comunista</span> from taking office--much less a <span class=""bb-i"">comunista</span> from that damned party!

The news had come a few weeks ago--and now, it was now approaching the time of inauguration. The President, after learning of the triumph of the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunista</span> did not wish to be around his office anymore; he'd had enough of the damn place, especially now after this great defeat of his. And besides, there really wasn't much to do as the President of Mexico, anyways.

Maybe he would enjoy his retirement out here, near the deserts of Central America; maybe, just maybe, the life he'd held before would not encroach on the life he would lead soon afterwards. Yet evidently, that peaceful time in retirement would have to wait, for the sound of a car's engine in the distance served to both aggravate him and his headache.

He groaned, and looked up to see a far-off black car, racing towards his house amongst the desert. It was a government car, of course; he was unable to read the license plate, but could recognize the paint scheme and the model anywhere. He had grown so sick of those blasted vehicles; they were never comfortable, and almost always broke down when you needed them the most. Go figure for a country like this.

Eventually, the car came to a slow halt as it reached the house. Bursting out from the side of the car was his assistant back at the office, Manuel Choras. Short and fat was the man; but looming and quick was he in debate. Honestly, if it weren't for his appearance, <span class=""bb-i"">he</span> would be the President right now, not Mondragon.

""Romano! Romano, you must return at once!"" demanded Choras, the thin mustache lining his upper lip twitching in anxiety.

""I told you, Señor Choras, I am not to be disturbed out here! I will have <span class=""bb-i"">nothing</span> to do with a government that failed to the <span class=""bb-i"">comunistas</span>!"" snapped Mondragon. On any other day, he would have taken the time to listen to his assistant. Choras was, after all, not a politician one could simply ignore, if not for the grotesque appearance on the surface.

""You do not understand, Romano! A dire crisis is approaching our nation--"" began the assistant.

""As I have heard several times in the past ten or so years,"" the President cut him off. ""I am already aware that the damn <span class=""bb-i"">comunistas</span> are going to be in power. That is a crisis I cannot prevent anymore than I already have.""

""You <span class=""bb-i"">will</span> allow me to finish!"" Choras barked. A typical move by the man; it seemed even in the last days of his job, Choras would not stop being his own impatient self. Mondragon opened his mouth to reply, but nothing came out. The exhaustion, defeat, and humiliation of the past month had been too much to handle--and his silence now was all he had to show for it.

Choras then continued, ""As I said: a crisis is on the way, Romano. Disaster shall strike our country after the inauguration, I promise you this! Word has spread of the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunista</span> plans for their first month in office. Romano, I tell you this in great horror, as any of us <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span> should speak of it: Estevez and his cronies are plotting something terrible.""

""And what, pray tell, would that be?"" said Mondragon.

A beat, and then: ""Romano, they are going to write a new constitution!""

Another beat--this time, considerably longer. For the first time since the election results were told to him, Mondragon's face was an almost blank mix of shock and surprise. Had he heard that right? A new constitution?

""I know you do not believe me,"" began Choras once again, as if he could sense the disbelief in his President's mind. ""In preparation for that, I have brought you a copy--yes, a <span class=""bb-i"">copy</span>!--of their first draft of the blasphemous thing."" The assistant then fumbled around in his pocket, pulled out a sheet of paper--one that had been crumpled up and torn in what was likely a fit of frustration--and handed it to the tired President.

Mondragon gazed upon it. Choras was actually serious about this! And so were the damn <span class=""bb-i"">comunistas</span>!

But that was not the end of it. A quick scan of the contents revealed the nature of this new constitution: if passed, it would cement the power of the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunistas</span> as a part of the government itself! The creation of an apparent ""vanguard party""...not only that, but elections would change drastically. Parties would be permitted, but none would be allowed to endorse a candidate with money or political ability; instead, candidates for offices would have to run on their own merits. Even the government-integrated <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Partido Comunista</span> would not be permitted to provide aid in elections.

There was more still: an entire conversion of the economic backbone for Mexico would occur. The country would shift rapidly from a market economy to a system of centralized planning!

He really <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> in Siberia, after all!

""Evidently, they wished to let the <span class=""bb-i"">people</span> see for themselves the plans of their leaders, let the <span class=""bb-i"">people</span> decide on what was best for the new constitution, let the <span class=""bb-i"">people</span> hold open debates and a nation-wide vote on any changes,"" Choras rambled. Each time he said the word ""people"", it was as if he had to vomit. Another reason why Mondragon was the President, and not him.

In any case, this was all too big a matter for Mondragon to handle right now. He had come out here to find peace, yet here came his political life, bringing more and more stress upon him. He just couldn't handle it--not now, not ever.

He took a deep breath, and then spoke: ""Choras. I want you to turn around, get back in your car, and leave. Do <span class=""bb-i"">not</span> come back here. <span class=""bb-i"">Ever</span>.""

""But--"" protested the fat assistant.

""Choras!"" Mondragon roared. ""For God-knows-how-long, I have run this country in administration after administration. I have overseen disaster after disaster, and have only been faced with one crisis--the rise of the comunistas--that I could not beat. Yet here you stand now, demanding I face <span class=""bb-i"">another</span> undefeatable danger to our country! Do you not realize that we are <span class=""bb-i"">done</span>?! Our time has <span class=""bb-i"">passed</span>, Choras! And there is <span class=""bb-i"">nothing</span> we can do to fight what is to come!""

Choras, surprisingly, was silent. His face had grown extremely red to match the contorted grimace that had etched itself as Mondragon spoke, but no words spilled out. Mondragon knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here, and thus continued:

""If you truly wish to survive the red tide, then do as I do: flee. Go to your homes, rest, live the rest of your life away from the miserable overbearings of politics. If the constitution fails, it fails; if it creates a revolution, it creates a revolution; but do not try to stop it, for in the twilight of this administration, we can do <span class=""bb-i"">nothing</span>. So do not even try to convince me otherwise, for I have seen that truth. You would be wise to look at the situation in a similar fashion.""

And with that, he stood up, turned around, and walked back into his home, leaving Choras to grumble to himself in the hot desert sun.

<span class=""bb-b""><span class=""bb-u"">Veracruz, Mexico</span></span>

""And you are confident that you should just let them vote on it?"" came a voice out of the room of Senator-elects.

Estevez, the only non-Senator-electee in the room, did not answer. It was not that he was incapable of answering a question he felt so strongly about; rather, it was instead a silence born from distraction, which in turn was born from the lovely sight of the beachfront outside on an afternoon.

""Estevez!"" came the same voice.

He closed his eyes, sighed, and turned to face the source of that voice. It was Adriano Felipez, one of the many other <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Comunistas</span> elected to the government. He was a man in his mid-sixties that had long been campaigning for leftist activity in a nation dominated by a rotting carcass of a political party. Many would suggest showing respect to an old man like him; but considering the lack of success Felipez had achieved on his own, Estevez knew better.

""Yes, I am sure of my decision,"" he replied calmly.

""But how do you know we should have even <span class=""bb-i"">told</span> them of our plans in the first place? For God's sake, the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span> could be using our ideas to plot against us right as we speak!"" the old man rambled.

""Felipez, do you trust in the people?"" Estevez asked, turning once more back to the window facing the golden shores and the open bay.

""Of course I do!"" retorted Felipez, in a somewhat offended tone. ""But I will <span class=""bb-i"">never</span> trust the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span>!""

""You are right not to do so,"" agreed Estevez. ""Yet you overestimate them. They are a dying breed, and they have been dying since the day their first administration ended. They do not control the military, or at least the smart part of it that know's how to actually wage a battle; they do not control <span class=""bb-i"">themselves</span>, for they have been reduced to a bunch of babbling idiots who couldn't agree on the colour of the sky if money was involved.""

He turned back to the Senator-elect. ""They are finished. They are of no concern to us.""

""And what of those supporting us that may find this move, erm, extreme?"" said Carlos Diamentas, a Senator-elect from the Pacific coast. ""Do you not remember their reaction to the country's alignment with the Third International?""

""Ah, but remember,"" countered the President-elect, ""it was not <span class=""bb-i"">our</span> party that made such a decision, though it is certainly something we might have pursued in due time. No, it was the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span> that committed that action; we have made it very clear that it was an action that the people had no say in when it happened. And now, we present something just as big and life-changing as a new constitution, but in this instance there are two major differences:

""First, we have presented them a say in the development of the constitution. It is up to them if any changes should be made--or hell, if it gets passed at all!--and that is something that they were not presented in the days of the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span>. And, concerning the old party, the second difference is that this new constitution provides an escape from that long-standing group of bureaucrats. The denial of private endorsement in elections will instead create an opening for all manner of Mexicans--yes, even the simplest of rural farmers--to become a part of a great <span class=""bb-i"">Vanguardia Partido</span>.""

He smiled at the thought. He had worked a long time for that idea to become a reality; and soon, on the day after his inauguration, it would be in the hands of the people.

""I promise you, it is a difference in life the people have long sought after. If we are ever to live up to the idea that there should be a vanguard party at all, then it is up to us to show them the way to a leftist future.""

He turned once again to the window, and gazed out at the crowds of people surrounding the beach's shores, where the line between land and sea was eternally shifting thanks to tidal forces. Once again, he became lost in the majesty of the body of water beyond his homeland, shutting out any more complaints from the Senator-elects behind him.

In truth, he knew that there would be some opposition to the new constitution. Though they held a large amount of support across the country, they did not hold all of it. Yet he was not convinced that there would be any major uprisings; after all, only about 10 of the <span class=""bb-i"">Institucionals</span> remained in their positions out of hundreds. Such a dramatic decrease in support meant that there would not be anything to worry about.

Erm...well...that was not entirely true. Though Estevez trusted in the people, he did not hold the rest of the world in the same regard. There were many imperialist countries still out there that might seek to crush such a popular movement in the West, with Spain no doubt at the forefront--at least, as soon as they finished their conquest of Ethiopia. Such a vile thing it was, the Spanish-Ethiopian War; as soon as he had the opportunity, he would make certain that Mexico would contribute to the defense of Ethiopia in some fashion...so long as his comrades felt the same way.

Alongside those, there were many others that would seek to put their own interests, positive or negative, in the place of Mexico's, namely China and the rest of the ComIntern. In time, he feared the alliance within the Third International may place Mexico in an...unfavourable position beneath the rest of the Third International member states. Still, these were things that would require constant vigilance--something he hoped he would have during his term.

Another thing to note would be the upcoming inaugural address that he was set to deliver. It would be through there that he would ultimately speak about the topics of the new constitution and the government and economy that said constitution would implement. It would be through there that he would ultimately sway the vote in favour of acceptance of the constitution. And it would be through there that he would ultimately achieve victory for the Mexican people.

Alas, he could only hope.</div>"

""What are yer doing ya lazy cunt?""

The moon was high in the sky, shining bright. The almost silent camp was empty, except for a tent full of soldiers, drinking their problems away. Being a member of Mana Squadron was certainly a ton of hard work. The first week was the most brutal week of the program, you would be lucky if you even have an hour of sleep every night. They were essentially dropped from a plane into the wild together while they are tied up. If you don't get your parachute open by a certain moment, your dead. You are sent in the worst place in New Zealand, forest so thick and is basically a huge, tight maze. 90% of candidates will drop out from the program from injuries or death. They were the best of the best. Disciplined. And drunk out of their asses.

""Fuck you mate"" Private Tane slurred, drunk off his ass. The Maori native slicked his black hair back and took another swig of his beer and burped as loud as he could. Mana Squadron was on a night out, drinking and having fun in the fortress bar. The air was filled with smoke and a jazz band was playing in the background. The offending Lieutenant looked back at Tane with a glare.

""Doing more than you bitch"" the officer slurred, pointing his finger at Tane's chest. The 6 foot Maori pushed the finger off and slapped the officer in the head, knocking him face first into the table. He didn't recover. The Private looked at his best friend, Benny. 

""Mate, you think I'll get in trouble for that?"" Benny looked at him with a blank look and said back ""Nah mate, it's algoods. He was a dick anyways."" Tane shrugged and took another swig of his beer. He looked at the pitiful amount of beer in his cup. He shoved a hand into his pocket and felt for any money. None. He looked at Benny and stopped to take a look at him.
 
His pakeha friend was drooling on the counter, knocked the hell out. Letting a little yawn himself, he grabbed his Ak-47 and walked out of the bar, getting his cigarette case out as he did so. Tane let his rifle hang on his shoulder as he lit his cigar on fire. Doing a long drag, he lets it all out in a perfect fashion. He let the cigar rest on his lip and walked out the gate into the nearby forest.

The moonlight beamed through the canopy, shining the ground around him. He engulfed himself in the sounds of the local wildlife. A bird chirping over there, a kiwi hiding in his burrow over at yonder, the local insects letting out there opera of sounds. The canopy was full of life and Tane smiled as he picked up a little flower on the groun-

<span class=""bb-b"">BOOM</span>

He spun, shouldering his rifle as headed down towards the base, where the explosion came from. A sense of dread filled him as he walked between the tree trunks and saw the ruined outpost. Fire spread throughout the outpost, the scream of the burning filled his ears. The smell of burning flesh assaulted his nostrils making him puke on the dirt.

Tane recovered and saw a man, his face half burnt, crawl out of a burning wreckage, moaning and groaning out. His eyeball was hanging on a thread, frying with that sickly noise. His nose was bent sideways, unnatural in pose. He let out a hoarse scream and coughed loudly, blood coming out of his busted lips. His arms burnt to a crisp, blackened husks, scratches and burns etched on the skin. His torso was covered in gashes and what seemed to be beer bottle sticking out of his gut. His left leg was gone, cut off by wreckage and his right...... It was a mess like the rest of the man. It was hanging by a little piece of bone, burnt and scratched. 

The ground beneath the man quickly filled with blood and guts, slowly oozing out of the man, seeping into the cracks in the ground. He let out another cry of pain and slowly stopped shivering, lying still on the cold hard ground. Tane let out another volley of puke, the scene to much for his eyes. He stood there, eyes watering for a minute. He steeled himself and moved forwards, obviously ignoring the man when he passed.

Fear licked Tane's mind, wondering if Benny and the rest of his team shared his fate. He gripped his rifle tighter, turning his knuckles white. The fire around him did not help his growing worry, only fuelling it further. He heard gunfire up ahead and a cry of pain. Tane began sprinting towards the noise, vision blurring and bones aching. He came into the outpost's rugby field and saw the firefight up ahead.

Dozens of men in red and black uniform surrounded Mana Squadron firing, surprisingly, very out of date BAR's at the SAS men. They still outnumbered Mana Squadron 3 to 1 and was picking them off one by one. The Maori steeled himself and pointed his Ak-47 at the nearest unknown and fired a three round burst at the head. He was satisfied with hearing a loud piercing sound and the man's head being a foot away from it's body. Half of the men in uniform stopped what they were doing and aimed at him, firing away with no care for accuracy.

He saw the insignia. The old New Zealand flag. Tane snarled and dived into cover. ""Fuck you ya slimy pieces of diehard fuck!"" The remains of the old government was here at full force, wanting to wipe out Mana Squadron. The now boiling man grabbed his grenade and pulled the pin. He waited for three seconds before tossing it into the mass of red and black, killing three and injuring a dozen. 

He secured the red beret on his head before popping back up to fire at the governmental diehards, still shocked at their sustained injuries. He shot in three round bursts, taking down another nine men with shots to the head. He calmly reloaded his rifle and set out to kill more before ducking down into cover when the so called ""shitheads"" started firing back. Kamana calmly coached against the debris, waiting for the firing to stop. It stopped. Synchronised perfectly, the gunfire stopped. He peeped an eye out over the cover. What he saw disgusted him.

The governmental diehards stopped to eat. Eating his now dead friends. Hunger was in their eyes as they pulled at the soldiers of Mana Squadron, getting their limbs off and munching on the flesh. Blood trickled from their mouths as the screaming started. Some of his men were still alive. They were eating his friends alive. 

Friends. Tane never thought about it, but he did consider them as friends. Friends of the highest degree he supposed. So when he laid his eyes on the site, he did what most people would do in the situation when armed. He aimed at the closest man, chewing the arm of First Lieutenant James Raven, recognising his buff arm anywhere. Tears formed in his eyes as he fired at the men.

""No remorse"" he shot the man between the eyes, surprise etched on his face. He walked towards the soldiers, still eating without a care in the world. ""No mercy"" Tane turned his rifle on full automatic, spewing lead into the soldiers. Some were ripped apart while others were silence with bullet holes in their back and through their hearts. They looked back now, hunger in their eyes and blood on their faces. ""For the innocent"" they charged at Tane, only to be cut down by rounds to the chest and head. ""For Aotearoa"" he looked at the remaining few, crying behind bodies or still eating their feasts. He finished them off. ""To kill the greedy, burn unjustly and purge the corrupt. God defend this free land."" He looked at the field of bodies.

Tane fell on his trembling knees, adrenaline sapped from him. He let his tears flow.

I looked across the calm blue sea, almost sparkling in the light. Being aboard a battleship in Aotearoa's navy was an honour, especially because only seamen and honoured guests can truly come aboard a battleship. It's mighty guns swivelled and turned, ready to bare it's fang to any who dare. I walked towards the edge of the ship, water splashing against the Mighty Aotearoan Vessel's hull.

I looked back at what my mother said, a certain spark appearing in my eyes. <span class=""bb-i"">""You are boarding a Waka? What a warrior son I have!""</span>. My mother was a very traditional sort of folk. Believing in the tales of old and a fierce believer of God. A smile tugged at my face before setting back to it's usual cold demeanour. I didn't like being a politician, but it gave the most money. Especially with another baby on the way, I had to get money somehow. This diplomatic trip to England seemed to be the best idea at the time.

I feel a bulge in my pocket and reached for it, letting out a tired sigh as I do so. I pull it out and saw what could only be called perfect. The picture was of a lithe lady, 24 with flowing brown hair and a smile that could win hearts over. Her light brown eyes complimented her face, bright and cheerful. She was posing for the camera, taking a comical, typical model pose. Her tank top and a bit too short shorts, not that he was complaining at all, was her attire and it proved how beautiful and carefree his wife is. It brought a smile to his face. He was going to be reunited with his family soon enough.

""Diplomat Engelbart Kappa."" I quickly shove the picture in my pocket, careful not to scrunch it up. I turn with my business mode on. Reminiscing could come later. ""What is it Captain? I do hope we get this over with. Going to the British Isles.... discomforts me to say the least."" 

It was true. I have heard the stories of the atrocities the diehards back home made. Cannibalism , torture, crucifying people. The list went on and on. And going to the country who they supported makes me a little queasy in the stomach.

The Captain chuckled a bit. I don't understand this at all. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. He looks back at me and straightens up. ""Don't worry sir, your in good care. The British have changed, ever since their collapse they have wanted to set up the commonwealth. This is where you come in. You need to convince them that we are independent now and we are going to be in the commonwealth together. We are not to be ruled over again. You remember what happened.""

I grimace and thought back to the war. It was around 30 years from now and it still scarred the country. Prime Minister Randen has been working tirelessly to get the country back in shape. It was still in the hearts of all.

He clasps my shoulder, recognising my face in thought. ""Don't worry mate. These British bastards will have a run for their money if they want to invade. Us army folk will make sure of that."" He leans into my ear. ""And I saw your missus over there. Wouldn't want a British man just to ravage her and fuck-"" I cut the Captain off with a punch in the gut.

That probably wasn't the smartest idea but the guy is being a dick. I mean what the fuck was up with that commentary. Absolutely no fitting of a captain of Aotearoa. But you know. It felt good. ""Fuck!"" The captain bent over more, holding his churning stomach. I slap him on the back of the head, earning a groan from him. Luckily, we didn't raise any commotion.

""Listen here and listen well"" I lean into the Captain's ear ""if I catch you talk about my wife in any context, I will make sure that you will be deported to the South Pole outpost."" The blood drained from his face. He scrambles up and salutes me. He turns and runs back into the ship. I smile.

The South Pole outpost was actual hell. You only get deported there if you piss one of the higher-ups off or if you are a governmental diehard. Blood is spilt there and the current war between the outcasts and the diehards are one of the bloodiest. It wasn't even a base. It was just 40 square kilometres of fence, just to keep em in. You fend for yourself out there.

A loud alarm blew, signalling that we have almost arrived at our destination. I set my beret in place and straighten my tie. It's about time. I walk up to the front of the ship and saw the British Isles in all its glory. I hear a horn sound and the march of men walking down. A haka. The true spiritual power of the kiwi. Our mana.

The sounds of footsteps began to echo across the hallway as an adviser to the President was walking very fast as she held onto a suitcase. The adviser stopped by the door to the President's bedroom and knock on it loudly, the sounds of the knocking traveled all the way to the bathroom. She had done her daily makeup by pressing the lipstick onto her lips softly and gently enough as she heard the knocking. She slammed her lips together and rubbed it to spread it all over her lips. The adviser was calling her name a couple before she opened the door. 
""Adviser?"" the President said, with a tone of confusion as she didn't know why the adviser was here. “I thought that we would meet in the car?” said the President as she came out of her now, closing her door as she finished her sentence. “There has been a change of plan, madam.” said the adviser with the Hungarian accent. All of the sudden, two men in suits appeared near the stairs as one of them walked down stairs. One of them said, “Don't worry madam, it's just your guard.”.

She knew that they were her guards, but she also knew that something had happened. The adviser and her walked down the stairs along with the guard quietly until the adviser began to speak up, “President, have you watched television or listen to the radio yet?”. The President gave her an odd look as she began answering the question, “Well, I got up and then went to the bathroom to shower. That's when I would put on the radio; but, I must of forgot. Anyways, I got my hair up and tied it into a knot. Then I started on my makeup, when you came.”

The adviser sighed in disappointment as they got down stairs, where the other guard got off of the phone and walked up to them. “I just inform the other groups that we have her. Shall we get them to the location?” said the guard as he waited for the answer for the other guards, which he shook his head. The guard got on the phone right away as the other guard got them outside, where the car was waiting for them. 

The President and the adviser got in the car as the President asked her the question, “What is going?”. A moment of silence fell and then he said, “Serbia has joined the Iberian League.”.

Thirty Minutes Later...

The President, along with the guard and the adviser, walked into a different conference room with a round table and the map of the world across the table. She saw Olivér Erik along with Fábián Richárd, and Fülöp Gabriella, looking at her. She walked towards her seat and sat on it as she began to said, “Have you all heard the news?”.

“Yes, our men at the border are ready for anything.” said Olivér, proudly as he thought that his men could hold off the threat. “But, we need more men and defenses in our country. No doubt that they will gain Spanish weapons, tanks, anything to make Serbia stronger.” said Fábián as he gave the President a notepad, which had a list of things that Hungary would need to defend its self.

“This will cost a lot of money to produce these things and I am not such that the people are going to be happy.” said the President as she put down the notepad onto the table. Fábián sighed and then said, “Well, the people will just have to deal with it.”.

Fülöp finally decided to speak up and said towards the group, “She's right about one thing, the people aren't going to be happy especially the fact that it has been also ten years since the war against Poland and Ukraine.”. 

Olivér shook his head as he said loudly, “People will always bitch, no matter what we do. If we open up schools, the wealthy would of bitch about taxes. If we close down some farm land and build homes, the farmers would of go on strike. And so on.”

“I was just agreeing with the President, nothing to get mad about.”  Fülöp laughed quietly as he shook his head in disbelief. “Back to the topic of defending our borders.” said the President as she walked towards the world map on the wall near the table. The men turned around to look at the President and the map.

“Alright, I agree that we need to do all of these things. We will only station our men on the border, overlooking Serbia. Of course, they might do the same thing as us; but, we need to be ready. Olivér, get the requests of defenses on the border and cities across Hungary to Parliament. Fábián, make such that we get more men to the border.” said the President as she looked at Hungary and Serbia. 

“Alright, President.” said both men as they stool up and waited for the President to dismiss them. Fülöp shook his head and said, “I will do anything that you ask me to do; but, this will upset the public.”. 

The President walked to Fülöp and said to him in an ensuring matter, “I know that; but, we will handle them. For now, just try to get the supplies to the border and bases nearby it. Dismiss.”. Everyone stool up and started to leave as the adviser rushed towards the President with a piece of paper.

The adviser had to catch his breath as he had ran a flight of stairs in order to give the paper to the President. He start to speak, ""Pres-Presid-President, a not-e for you..."". He gave her the paper as she began to read it, while she was reading it, she paused for a second. Two diplomats for Slovene-Croatia want to meet in Hungary. She questioned this for a second as well and then said, ""Adviser, tell everyone to get the Red Salon ready for our guests."".</div>"

""This is an outrage! Why? Why would they accept a nation that couldn't even maintain unity into the Iberian League! The Serbians are so corrupt I bet they can't even make a decision without someone outside of their own government pulling the strings!"" Florenstano roared again for the sixth time today, his fist slamming down into his oak table.

""Your Majesty, please you must calm down. Serbia's quick and rapid acceptance into the Iberian League has set us all on edge, but this isn't something to be so worked up over."" Calmly spoke Everardo, in an attempt to douse the coals of his King's anger. ""Allow me to go Spain, let me talk to the Spanish in an attempt to learn why Serbia joined and explain why this is not a good thing for us.""

Florenstano sighed, his hands coming up to his face and rubbing the many wrinkles that had formed over the course of his dual-rulership with the Prime Minster. He let his hands fall back down to the table, his back leaning into his chair as he began to respond.

""Listen I-"" He quickly stopped, being interrupted by the door to the room entering, his eyes squinting with the new light source pressing forth into the once dimly lit room.

""Now now, don't you know it's bad to talk in a dimly lit room. Hurts the eyes."" Said Isabella coolly as she entered the room. It was rare to see the Queen acting so calm, which means she was just as mad about the situation as Florenstano. 

Her simple attire greatly distinguished herself from the rest of the people in the Palace, wearing a simple dress and heels... which were very menacing as she stepped across the marble floor and sat into a chair next to her Husband.

""Do not worry Prime Minster, we have already come up with a simple solution."" She said, and Everardo could swear he heard what seemed to be venom dripping from her words. ""We are going to let the world know, instead of back room talks with Spanish and Serbians. A public announcement that you and I will hold, Everardo.""

Everardo squirmed sightly in his seat. It was no shocker that we has scared of the Queen. She was tall, and the way she spoke just hinted at her knowledge of intrigue and manipulation. Everyone was scared of her, yet she was well loved by the people none the less.

He had to think of his response carefully here, or she would simply spin his own words around into her favor like all the times before. ""I do not see how this would cause any difference of an outcome, if anything this would make things worse between us and the Spanish.""

Isabella smiled. 'Damn it' was all he was able to think before she replied.

""Do you have no spine, Prime Minster? Our nation isn't a weak play toy for the Spanish to use willy nilly in their efforts to 'eradicate communism.' We have regained our status as on the powers of Europe, we must use that influence to show the world that we are not a nation that bows every time Spain waves its hand. That is now Serbia's job, after all."" 

""Are you proposing we leave the Iberian League? That is simply madness."" Florenstano cut in, catching his wife by surprise.

""No. I'm simply saying let us set our position in stone and protest this decision. The Serbs have no right or reason to be in the Iberian League.""

Everardo folded his hands together, looking between his King and the Queen. ""Very well, we shall hold a gathering and announce Italy's position publicly. I do hope you know that any bad outcomes will fall directly onto the head's of the Monarchy, not the Senate.""</div>"

A fast, sharp tapping echoed throughout the room, as King William repeatedly hit a pen into his desk, eyes fixed on a single piece of paper. Beside him stood Prime Minister David Jones, a surprisingly young man for his position, one hand on the back of the Kings chair, the other on the desk, as he, too stood bent over the paper. A quick glance between the two conveyed everything they were thinking. Without a word, the king finally stopped his tapping, set the pen on top of the paper, and quickly rose from his seat, nearly slamming his elbow into Jones' jaw in the process.

With a quick exhale, the king released all the nervous energy building up within him, and turned to Jones, who by this point had also taken his eyes off the paper, standing at attention. 

“Tomorrow.” Said the king, voice shaking slightly. 

“Tomorrow.” replied Jones. “Shall we let her majesty know?”

“Yes. Yes, of course. The children, as well. They will all need to be present, looking their finest.”

Nodding, Jones smiled. “Of course, my King. We've been planning and preparing for weeks. There's absolutely nothing that can go wrong at this point. The signing will be a historic event, and will only further speed up the goal of reuniting the Empire.”

“Yes... Yes.” Muttered the King, eyes staring off into the distance. “And with everything kicking off in Africa, this will serve as a good distraction. The news of the restoration of the Commonwealth will greatly overshadow the invasion. The slower the news of the invasion spreads, the better.”

“Of course, sir. Now, please, get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be a big day, and you need plenty of time to calm your nerves.” 



<span class=""bb-b"">The Following Day</span>

Fanfare filled the air, as celebratory parades roamed through the streets of London. Crowds gathered all over, trying to catch a glimpse of everything either in person, or on television screens throughout the city. As the bands continued to play their music, two black vehicles flying the British and Australian flags respectively were escorted to an indoor stadium, where the ceremony would soon take place.

Within the first car sat Prime Minister David Jones, King William, and Australian Governor General Mark Chapman. All three leaders were sitting in absolute silence. For each and every one of them, the magnitude of what they were about to do began to weigh down on them, and each one was focusing solely on that. The only thing that broke their silence was the driver of the vehicle calling back to them, announcing their arrival at the stadium. 

As the doors were opened, and the sounds of the crowd outside reached the ears of the rulers, reality flooded back in. Almost like a switch had been turned on, each of them immediately stopped over thinking the situation, and stepped out of the vehicle, smiling and waving. As they were escorted inside of the stadium, Jones and William exchanged a quick glance, almost assuring each other of the situation. Once the leaders were inside the stadium, the second vehicle pulled up, and the rest of the royal family left to join the King inside.

Minutes later, once everything had calmed down, Jones took his place atop a large stage,  and got the ceremony started.

“Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here on this historic day! Looking out and seeing you all just fills me with happiness. Truly, it does.”

Taking a small break, Jones collected himself, as he took on a more serious and official tone.

“Years ago, the British Empire was the uncontested, strongest nation on the planet. It truly was the epitome of greatness. However, as nobody knew back then, that great empire would be thrown into a war, the likes of which it had never seen. The Great War, a war nobody truly won, proved to be the single thing the British Empire could not handle. By it's end, we were a nation in ruin. Unable to maintain control, we watched as the empire destroyed itself from within. Unable to act, we lost more and more of our people's faith. Then, in perhaps the most damaging thing to ever happen to our nation, we even began to destroy ourselves.”

“The Great Anarchy threw Britain into a nearly unrecoverable state of political turmoil. Just barely avoiding becoming a civil war, we watched as different factions formed, each vying to control the nation, claiming they were the best choice. During this time, nobody was safe, not even the monarchy. Many members of the royal family died, both alongside of and at the hands of those they cared for. It was, perhaps, this brutality. This desecration of one of the most symbolic things our country has, that ended the Anarchy. Uniting under the only remaining member of the monarchy, the people of Britain fought against the factions that nearly destroyed the country. For the reasonable cost of returning more power to the monarch, we came together as one, and began to rebuild this nation.”

“And now, as we are all here together, we will take the first step towards rebuilding the empire which was unjustly taken from us. We are joined today by Governor General Mark Chapman, as well as our King, William IV, to mark a momentous occasion. With their signatures, the British Empire takes it's first step towards it's former glory. Towards new glory. Under the Commonwealth of Nations, former members of the British Empire swear to unite under King William IV. While still independent, they are just as much a part of the British Empire as we here on the British Isles are. While it is just us and Australia for now, it is our hope that many others will recognize their Monarch, and accept their part as a member of the Commonwealth. Now, without further ado. Let us sign this historic document, and bind ourselves together.”

Smiling, King William stepped up to a podium, taking a pen out, and signing his name on the document sitting below him. As he placed the pen back down, a massive amount of cheering filled the room, not stopping until the king sat back down. When Mark Chapman stood, all remaining cheering was exchanged for dead silent, as everybody looked at the leader of Australia. Smiling, and giving a quick wave, the Governor General signed his name on the document, raising the pen in the air as he finished, also joining the crowd in their cheering. Standing once again, King William walked over to Chapman, and extended his hand out to the Governor General. With a firm handshake, the two leaders sealed the deal, smiling out towards the crowd. 

As camera's snapped, and the crowds cheered on, Jones stepped up once more to the podium, and spoke. 

“As of today, the British Empire has taken it's first step towards it's future! Long live the Empire!”



<span class=""bb-b"">South Africa</span>

While the celebrations raged back home, the soldiers in South Africa had just began what would be a long and grueling war. Having solidified their position earlier that morning after taking Fish Hoek, and essentially the entire peninsula South of Cape Town, all that was left for the British Army was to begin their long march North, not stopping until all of South Africa was under their control.

What had earlier that day been a hangar was now the British center for operations in South Africa. At the far end, a medical center was set up, where Neville Bishop was currently stitching up an injured soldiers stomach. Sweat dripped down from his forehead, between a dark pair of eyes, and down a long nose. He hadn't had a second of rest since they stepped foot on the beach the day before. As soon as the fighting stopped, he immediately returned to being a medic, and had been working on injured soldiers since. 

As he finished, he felt a heavy hand on his back, and turned to see who it belonged to. Looking down at his was a tall, curly haired man, grimacing at the wound Neville had just finished sewing up.

“What the fuck happened to him?” asked the man in a very thick Scottish accent. 

“Oh. He got attacked by some civilian with a knife, right as we took the town.” replied Neville, sounding like he was about to pass out. 

“He gonna live?”  Asked the Scot, to which Neville could only shrug. 

“We haven't received all of our medical supplies yet, so we couldn't do the best we could for him. Honestly, I think he'll be lucky if he does make it. But I still did the best I could.”

Nodding, the Scot patted Neville on the back again. “So. He was your last one, right?”

“That he was.” replied Neville, sounding relieved. “I finally get to eat, and then sleep.”

“Okay, well. Before you do that, there was some bloke looking for you. I told him where you were, but I guess he's a wee bit squeamish.”

Raising an eyebrow, Bishop looked at his friend. “Where was he?”

“Eh... Just clean yourself up, and meet me outside your... corner.”

Nodding, Neville cleaned his hands off in a small makeshift sing they had put together. He hadn't known Andrew, the Scotsman, long, but they had quickly become best friends during their time together back in Britain. Smiling to himself at the thought, he walked out and met up with Andrew, who then led him into the area that had been designated as a dining room for the soldiers.

Looking around, Andrew found the person he was looking for, and led Neville over to him. Immediately, Neville recognized him as the large man he had spent almost he entirety of fighting along the coast with. 

Standing, the man smiled at Neville, and extended a hand. “Hey, I wanted to thank you. I don't think you ever realized it, but you saved my life on that beach. The name's Tom.”

Confused, Neville returned the handshake. “Nice to meet you, Tom. I'm Neville. Now... How exactly did I save you?”

“Well... For starters, if you didn't give me that laugh on the boat, I probably would have been frozen there, and probably died. Second off, you did in that African bloke who was about to shoot me when my gun jammed.”

Blinking, astonished, Neville sat speechless. He hadn't even realized that he saved Tom. He just went down the beach, shooting anyone who was aiming a gun their way. Just as he was about to speak, he was cut off by Andrew, elbowing him in the side.

“Looks like you're a fuckin hero, Neville! And here I remember you saying you thought you would piss yourself if you ever had to actually fight.”

Andrews remark earned him an elbow in his own side, which he just laughed off. With the mood loosened, Neville remembered something, and turned to Tom.

“I almost forgot. Andrew said you didn't want to go back to the medical area because you're squeamish? How does that work, with you being a big, tough soldier?”

This comment caused a few friendly laughs to erupt from the mouths of the people Tom was sitting with, but he just ignored them, wanting to answer Neville's question. 

“Well... I'm not actually much of a soldier. I'm actually a mechanic. In all honesty, I can't stand the sight of blood. I think if it weren't for the adrenaline while we were fighting, I would have passed out right there in the sand.”

Eyes widening a bit, Neville couldn't help but laugh a little. Instantly, he caught himself, holding out a hand to Tom. “Sorry, sorry! It's not really that funny. I just... It's just not something I would expect from somebody in the army is all.”

“Yeah, I get that a lot. But I really didn't think I would see combat all that much, so I didn't see the harm in joining. Just learned the hard way how wrong I was, though.” 

Sighing, Tom shook his head, making fun of himself under his breath. “Well, if you lads haven't eaten yet, why don't you join us? We can share stories and stuff our faces before they send us back out there. How about it?”

“Yeah, why not?” replied Andrew instantly, speaking for both of them, to which Neville just nodded in response. 

After the two got their food, they sat down across from their new acquaintance, and enjoyed the bit of relaxation they would get before they were once again sent out to fight.</div>"

Sahle woke up slowly, his throat raw and his eyelids sticky with sleep. He realized very quickly where he was. This place was the men's bathroom in the Dead Man's Den, and he was in the last stall. His back was against the floor, and the feeling of the cold tile against his ass told him that his pants were pulled down around his thighs. His shirt - a colorfully patterned piece of clothing, like a tunic with its loose fit and U-neck that tied closed - was damp. He sniffed it. Smelled like piss. His legs were spread apart and straddled over the toilet as if he was preparing to give birth at it. He had some guesses as to what had happened, but he could not remember how he got here. 

As he stood up, his back betrayed him. A spasm of pain punished the middle of his spine and sent tendrils of numbness through his muscles. Thirty three was too old to be sleeping next to toilets. Gently, he pulled his pants back up. And then, he changed his mind. His pants went back down to his thighs. Sahle faced the toilet that had been his bed-mate, and Sahle pissed.

When he was done and his pants were up for a second time, he began to run through his latest memories trying to remember why he had slept here. He remembered doing a show, and he remembered drinking some afterwards. As the night had wore on, he had taken Aaliyah back to her room and undressed her, except for her mask. And they fucked. That had been a difficult for him, but not because of his drinking. Her mask made him uncomfortable now. She insisted on wearing it most of the time to hide the scarred pit where her eye had been, but the creepy doll-like look it's glossy enamel face was too peculiar for him. And that eye... painted so lifelike, but unblinking. The struggle had been real, but he had got the job done. After that...

He was here. He wasn't hungover... no, he hadn't drank nearly that much. But he was here, and wearing a shirt stained in his own piss.

That was the next problem that needed solving. He pulled the piss-stained shirt over his head, baring the naked skin underneath. The shirt was disgusting now, soaked with not only his piss, but whatever had been on the bathroom floor where he had passed out. In the Dead-Man's Drink, that could be anything. He imagined it crawling with crabs, and gonorrhea, and whatever sickly old man diseases Sanos Horasian had. This shirt was dead to him now. He tossed it in the toilet and flushed. A weak stream of toilet water washed over it, dragging a sleeve into the outlet and clogging it. Water bubbled and splashed off of the intruding shirt and the bowl slowly filled. Sahle left the stall to its fate.

The Men's room at the Dead Man's Drink was as unimpressive as the rest of the club. Its red-brown tiles were peeling off the wall, exposing the drywall underneath. Pipes caked with rust and limescale ran exposed along the bottom of the wall, connecting a chipped sink with the seatless, overstressed toilets hidden behind stalls that were little more than two-foot tall strips of decaying wood. A flickering light-bulb swung by a few wires on the ceiling, and its clicks and buzzes made the room look two times as bad. In one corner, there was the torn remnants of a poster. It showed a young girl, completely nude and making no attempt to hide it. She held a heavy gun of some type and grinned. The paper had faded so that she looked ghostly white against a vague beige background, and the bathroom went from damp to dry so often that the paper was now as much a part of the wall as any wall paper could be. Still, she was enticing, and Sahle felt his member stir at the sight of her.

It was no time for that. Sahle cleaned his face, threw water under his arms, and left the room.

When he entered the open halls of the Dead Man's Drink, he felt the cold hit his skin. He wasn't wearing anything above his waist, and Sevan was cold even in the summer. Above the walls, the hall opened up to the rest of the building, as there was no ceiling save for the roof itself. From here he could see the pair of pants that hung from a rafter above the main room, as it had when they first started working here months before. The floor warped and groaned with his every step, and he stepped softer as a result.

When he came into the main room, he spied the old man Sanos Horasian. He sat at one of the dining tables below the stages counting wadded money out of a lockbox. When he saw Sahle, he eyed his suspiciously.

""Where did this blacky lose his shirt, eh?"" the old man spat. ""This isn't one of those types of bars where the men pretend they are women. I don't want to see naked men walking around my property.""

""I have pants."" Sahle said succinctly. He eyed the corpse in glass that watched from behind the bar and gave this place its name. 

The old man let out a meaty <span class=""bb-i"">Hmph</span>. ""The Russian was looking for you."" he barked. 

""Vasily?"" Sahle asked. Vasily was the only Russian he knew. He was also the closest thing the old man had to a friend, so it was off putting that he called him The Russian. ""Did he say where he would be?"" Sahle asked.

""No."" the old man replied, turning back to his box of money. ""I don't know what he does.""

Sahle left the building, trading the musty smells of stale beer and mildew for the crisp, thin air of the Armenian highlands. Sevan was a popular town, but it was a small one. The lakeside resort was kept surprisingly clean by crews of garbage men and street cleaners who were often veterans with a military approach to discipline, and the cold air kept any remnant filth from ripening. This meant that the booze, sex, and vomit of the nightlife was gone by sunrise. Sevan's scent in the morning was the carbon of cars and trucks belching up and down the road, and the wet, slimy smell of the nearby lake.

It was, however, too chilly for Sahle's tastes. He had grown up in Ethiopia, where the mountains stayed comfortably warm and the deserts of the rift valley seared hotter than anywhere else on Earth. He had woke up without shoes, or a shirt, and he was wearing only a pair of baggy pants. His torso was bare, and his nipples stiffened in the wind. He sped up his gait, careful to not look too suspicious despite being a half-naked African coming out of a bar just in time for breakfast.

The cold had the effect of waking him completely, though this way was just about as brutal as being kicked in the stomach. He began to remember images of the night before. Images of a familiar apartment complex, and a bottle of Vodka he had swiped from The Dead Man's Drink. He had be watching Vladmira's place again, hoping for... something. Maybe it was just to see Oziryan's mistress - or friend - or guest - or whatever she was. Maybe he hoped to see her undressing in her own window, or maybe he hoped that she might see him and invite him to undress with her. It was hard to tell. She was something that distracted him from all the shit that had been dealt to him. And, when it came down to it, she was ridiculously hot. 

""Friend!"" he heard a familiar voice yell. It was Yared. He was thrust out the passenger side window of a dented old truck. His beard was as uncombed as ever, and he was wearing a thick shirt of plain wool. ""Samel! Vasily is driving! He wants us for something."" there was a pause. ""Where did you put your shirt, friend?""

""It was grungy, friend!"" Sahle answered. Being reminded of it made him feel cold all over again. He sauntered over to the truck, holding his arms close to him for warmth. 

""Come in here."" Yared climbed out the window, groaning something that sounded kind of like ""Friend"" as he bent his neck unnaturally to get out. Yared popped out and landed on his feet. Sahle saw Vasily's face shadowed inside, and he was eying Sahle over in a way that seemed unusually serious for him. 

""Marc is in the back, friend."" Yared replied. ""I will ride with him. Here..."" he reached into the bed and pulled out a woven wool blanket. Sahle noticed the brown-red stain in its corner at once, and remembered the serious eyes that had caught his when he looked in the truck. He wondered how he had every made a friend like Vasily the Russian. Yared climbed into the truck bed. Sahle wrapped himself in the blanket and climbed in the cab.

""I am thinking that it is too cold for the black man."" Vasily greeted. His voice was more even now than it usually was. It lacked the sing-songy playfulness that he knew the Russian for. ""Why are you running around town with shirt off?""

""I lost it."" That was all he had to say about that. He had no reason to reveal that he had managed to piss his own shirt in his sleep. He still had some dignity. Sahle pulled the blanket tighter around himself and tried not to think about the brown stain that he knew in the depth of his mind to be blood. ""Where are we going?"" he asked dumbly.

""Oziryan is wanting a debt to be called in."" Vasily responded. He kept his eyes on the road. Sevan City was lightly trafficked, but the few vehicles that did share the streets with them was navigated by the sorts of people who learned how to drive on family farms. It was deft attention, rather than strict rules, that governed the roads here.

The thought of Oziryan collecting on their debt made Sahle nervous. He had helped to keep them safe from the Egyptians that Barnham had sent hunting for them, and he had gifted Aaliyah with her new face. But he was a crime lord, there was no doubt about that, and what he wanted could hardly be good. Sahle knew that he wouldn't be asking them for clean his car.

""What are we going to do?"" Sahle said, resigned. There was no other option but to accept it. He was nervous, but he had lived through so much already that he doubted they would be facing anything new. Such was the life of a fugitive.

""I will be telling you soon."" Oziryan said sharply. ""But you will be meeting a man first.""

The ride grew quiet. Sahle struggled to think of anything but the inevitable trial they were preparing to face. He thought of Aaliyah, waking up alone and certainly looking for Sahle. And he thought of Vladmira, the fair haired Russian who had captured his imagination. He tried to imagine her naked, but he could only see Aaliyah's body, thinned by the horrors they had experienced over the last few months and so familiar to Sahle now that she seemed annoyingly plain. 

They passed a tanker truck parked in front of a fueling station. A hose sprouted from its side and dipped into an outlet in the tarmac, looking much like a fat worm crawling from the belly of its host to its home underground. The truck itself had once very clearly been of military use. It was a short, snubnosed Polish model with an olive drab paint-job and lines of thick black paint where its military markings had been. Sahle guessed that its driver had also been former military. He was young, but marked by an ugly burn scar on his forehead. He eyed them solemnly as they passed through what the tight gap in the road his truck left open. 

Sahle watched buildings go by, hoping more would sprout up between them and their destination so that he could enjoy this peace a little while longer. Sevan's architecture was simple. Some buildings were constructed from simple ruddy stone and showed hints of the Turkic, if not the Roman. Others were plastered and painted. As they passed one with an open alley way, Sahle saw where somebody had painted ""Turkish is Devil"" in native script. He remembered that the message had not been there last week.

""People are still mad about the Turks."" he said inanely. 

Vasily choked a short laugh. ""I am thinking they will be hating the Turks until a long time is gone."" he replied. ""People do not forget some hates.""

Sahle knew of the terrible genocide the Turks had brought to this part of the world. He knew that the Armenians bore their grudge honestly, but there was something peculiar about turning it into graffiti. Vandalism like that seemed like something people did because they could not fight back with anything other than anonymous words. But Armenia had won, and the Turks had lost nearly everything. What was the worth of attacking them by painting on your neighbors wall?

""You know, I am knowing more about this town than you would expect."" he tapped his own temple with his pointed finger and gave Sahle a sly look. That seemed more like the Vasily he knew, a comic armed to the teeth. ""There is a family in town of old Armenian blood that had worked for a Turk who owned a grocery store. It was before the revolution, I am thinking. He paid them in very little money and made them work most of the day so that their lives were sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep..."" The Russian paused. He lowered his voice as if this was a story being told over a campfire. ""Then one day, the Armenians revolted, and the war was on. They revolted too. They locked their Turkish boss in the basement of his house and took it over. And they never let him out. The war was done, and they did not let him out.""

Vasily stopped, and Sahle became confused. ""You are saying they still have this man locked in his own basement?"" he asked.

Vasily shrugged. ""I hear they keep him like he is a pet. They feed him the food they don't eat and say cruel things to him. I am not knowing the whole story. I am thinking it was being said that he worked their child to death when he was very sick, but I am not knowing this.""

""That has to be bullshit."" Sahle replied. ""Why would they go to the trouble? Wouldn't the police notice this?""

Vasily shrugged again. ""The Law in Sevan is Armenian now, and they are not liking the Turk. Real hate. That is a scary thing, I am thinking. It can build up and build up and build up and then, when it is released."" He took his hands off the wheel and mimed a tiny explosion. ""Pwoosh! All of the hell breaks loose.""

They arrive in the poorer part of town, far from the bars and clubs that formed Sevan's nucleus. Here, Sevan became rowhouses and low-ground tenements who's crumbling walls looked as old as the cyclopean ruins of castles and temples that dotted the treeless hills of the Armenian countryside. Life was meaner in this part of town, and Sahle began to imagine Oziryan's plans to be increasingly violent as they passed world-weary old women and rag-clad men with hungry eyes. 

The building they stopped in front of stood out from the rest despite the red-stone facade and unassuming architecture it had in common with them. A white plywood sign was hung between the first and second floors, and ran length-way across it, and on it were bright red Chinese characters below which were the words ""Deng Wushu"" were written in Armenian. Sahle stared at the building, trying to work out what part of Asia this was from, and what a ""Deng Wushu"" was. He decided that he did not know.

The driver's side door opened with a scrapping pop as Vasily climbed out into the street. Sahle debated whether or not to keep the blanket he had wrapped around his torso, before deciding that he had best keep it. Wearing a blanket or wearing no shirt, both would look strange. At least with the blanket he would be warm. As he climbed out of the car, he saw Marc for the first time and realized that he too was wrapped in a blanket.

""Marc"" Sahle grinned and slapped the perpetual stoner on the back. ""I did not see you back there, friend.""

A clear line of snot was running out of Marc's nose and mingling with the sparse hairs of his mustache. ""All I did was get in the truck, brother."" Marc rasped. When he talked, he sounded like he thought whatever they were doing was part of an inside joke only they understood. ""I don't even know what is going on."" 

Yared looked far less confused. ""Oziryan."" he said succinctly, and Sahle knew that he knew. 

Sahle nodded. 

Sahle saw a look of knowing concern wash over Yared, but it was short lived. Within a moment, Yared was his as carefree and irreverent as he ever was. Sahle wondered how much the sleepy bearded Krar player hid behind his impish eyes. ""Let us go in, friends. I want to know what a Wushu do.""

The inside of Deng Wushu was as foreign looking as the sign outside. Most of the building was one room, open to the roof of the second story. The floors were a light, polished hard wood and the cream walls were decorated with a mixture of Asian paraphernalia and photographs of men posing in fighting stances. Three brightly painted statuettes stood on a shelf in the corner. The figures were bearded, two young and one old, and they seemed to be wearing some ancient style of robe. In front of them and on the same table was a small copper cup. It was filled with water.

Sahle and his friends caught up with Vasily around a corner in the widest section of the open space. He was talking to a small, portly man of Asian decent. The lighting was dim her, coming from two-few lights, and the corners of the room were obscured in a soft darkness.  

""Samel. Yared. Marc."" Vasily called out, ""Meet Deng Wu. He will be accompanying us.""

Deng bowed, and Sahle saw where his greasy hair was thinning on top. ""I am honored to make your acquaintance."" Sahle smiled. Marc responded with his own wobbly bow, grinning like a dipshit as if the whole thing was one big joke.

It was only then that Sahle noticed the music. It was coming in from a compact record player sitting in the shadows at the back of the room. The singing was folksy and crooning, but there was something unique about the accompanying guitar that made it sound almost western, if not American. American music had gained some attention in Africa after the refugee airlift his father had ordered when wars swallowed the North American continent a decade ago. These styles had influenced music in Africa, but to hear the same styles influencing Asia...

""Deng. Good to meet you. But I got a question."" Sahle heard Yared exclaim abruptly. ""What is a Wushu then?""

""Wushu is an ancient Chinese art."" Deng explained stiffly. ""It is the balance of mind and control of body.""

""It is kicking for fighting."" Vasily added. ""Deng teaches the Armenians so when they fight with no weapons they do not look so stupid.""

Deng gave Vasily an annoyed glance, but he said nothing.

""We have a mission to be doing."" Vasily began. Sahle felt his throat tingle nervously as he waited to here. Vasily turned to face Deng. ""Oziryan is wanting to move his shipment.""

Deng's expression did not change. He nodded. ""Follow me then. We will need all of us to move it.""

He lead them to a backroom, where boxes and cabinets sat next to stranger things, including a life-sized mannequin and a statue of a fat Buddha who's arm had been chipped off. The room was filled with a thick, musty air, and dust irritated Sahle's nose as their presences kicked it into the air. There was a large crate sitting on a pallet in the corner of the room. Sahle noticed that it was the first thing Deng and Vasily seemed to see.

Somewhere, Deng had found a crowbar. He wrenched open the top of the large crate. ""It is still here, as it was."" he explained. ""I have not opened it until now.""

Vasily waved his hand. ""Oziryan trusts you, I am thinking."" he said. ""Let us show our friends this thing. Samel, Yared, Marc.""

They stepped up and looked over. There was two divider walls cutting down the center so that they left a small gap, where a long thin bag held something blocky. ""Do not be touching that."" Vasily pointed and warned. ""That is dry ice. It will be burning your skin.""

Both sides of the crate were lined with foil. Deng pulled back the foil lining on top to reveal the secret that had brought them to this Chinese man's door so early in the morning.

They were long, thin sheets of blotting paper, perforated so that they could be broken into small finger-nail sized bits. On each bit was the same image - a smiling man with black skin. He has bushy hair and a near-cropped beard. In one hand he held a cane, and with the other he pointed outward. It was an image that Sahle knew well. This man's was the face of Acid.

""Doctor Feelgood."" Marc gasped lustily. ""If this is a gift, friends, I will take it.""

""No."" Vasily answered sharply. Deng returned the foil and closed the lid. ""We are to be delivering this to the Georgian border tonight. You will be assisting us.""

""Assisting?"" Sahle asked. ""How?""

""You will be muscle. The people we will be dealing with will rob us if we are too few.""

Marc snickered. ""They will be robbing us, friend, if they see who you got for muscle.""

Sahle agreed. He had shot at men before, and he could hardly remember doing so. It had been a long time ago, and the events of that day had been unique. This was different, though. He had handled weapons since, but he feared them. Guns felt too unnatural in his hands. And Vasily knew all of this.

""This is not a question."" Vasily answered. ""You are going. Oziryan has ordered this, and you owe him I am thinking. Now come, help us lift this.""</div>"

Jim Sledge sat on a park bench in Dupont Circle. He hadn’t been in D.C. since the inauguration. Being here back in the capital seemed to rejuvenate him. Out in the wild running two-bit congressmen was a far cry from here in D.C. This was the seat of the country’s political power. Sure the states could pride themselves on their semi-independence, but D.C. was the hub with power spinning outwards like the spokes on a wheel.

A hotdog cart rolled by loaded with sizzling dogs. A summer breeze sent the appetizing scent of the food wafting through the park and made Jim’s stomach rumble. Among the dogs, buns, and fixings was a radio that played the hourly news update.

<span class=""bb-i"">“… violence was finally ended and the protest dispersed. At least two Negro protestors are in critical condition after the demonstration turned violent. Mississippi State Police superintendent Jefferson Davis Hood said the two men were resisting arrest, forcing his men to take action. ‘I’m all for peaceful protest,’ Hood said to CBN news. ‘But it has to remain peaceful. These… people were not being peaceful and we had to act. In other news, President Norman today signed into law the New England Weapons Nationalization Act. The bill, which had been stalled in the Senate just last week, nationalizes New England Weapons Industries. After signing the bill, President Norman went on to say—“</span>

“Mr. Sledge.”

Jim looked away from the cooking hotdogs to a thin, bald man with thick, black-rimmed glasses in white, short shirtsleeves and a black tie. He looked vaguely familiar, but Jim couldn’t place him right off.

“John Mitchell. I’m Vice President Reed’s chief of staff.”

That was it, from the campaign. John was part of Reed’s staff during the campaign. He’d been with the VP a long time dating back to when Vice President Reed was Congressman Reed.  Jim stood and shook hands with John while he spoke.

“That's right, I remember you. How you doing, John?”

“I’ll be better if you’ll follow me.”

“Say no more.”

John led him across the circle to a black sedan with heavily tinted windows idling by the curb. A Secret Service agent stood beside the car and opened the rear door for Jim, who climbed inside and came face to face with Russell Reed, sitting calmly in the seat and reading a newspaper on his lap.

“Mister Sledge,” he said in that Georgia twang of his. 

“Mister Vice President,” said Jim. They shook hands while John got into the passenger seat and the Secret Service agent climbed behind the wheel.

“Hope you don’t mind if we talk on the run, Jim, I’ve got a luncheon at the Hay-Adams just down the road. I figured I would swing by and pick you up. We can talk in-depth later tonight. How are things in Chicago?”

“Easy,” Jim said with a sigh. “Too easy. Bill Barnwell is too complacent to be a good opponent, and Dickson is too hands off with the campaign. He doesn't care, but he’ll win the primary in double digits easily. His district is heavily Republican so he'll cruise to victory in November.” 

Smiling, Jim turned to the VP as Reed chuckled.

“How’s it living life one heartbeat away from the presidency?”

“Oh, you know,” Reed said with a modest shrug. “I go to the office every day and twiddle my thumbs until it’s time to go home. I advise the president when he asks for it, and I help with the legislative agenda but that’s it.”

“Mmmhmm… and those rumors I’ve been hearing about you being the power behind the throne are just bullshit?”

“You may very well think that,” Reed said with a smirk. “But I couldn’t possibly comment.”

“Right. So, did you just wanted to catch up? Is that why you paid for me to fly out here to meet with you? I know how much you hate small talk, Russ. What's up?”

“I have a very important job for you.” Reed fussed with his necktie, not meeting Jim’s gaze. “Wilbur Helms and Doug Collins. What do they have in common? Just off the top of your head.”

Jim ticked off points with his finger. “Both are senators, both are as old as fucking dirt, both are two of the longest-serving senators… other than that, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. Different parties, different states, different guys.”

“Collins is a Republican,"" said Reed, ""He’s from Montana, sure, but he's as thick as thieves with the Southern Caucus. The old bastards flock together like buzzard. He has a few western senators he caucuses with and was a pretty valuable ally across the aisle when I was Majority Leader. The big thing they have in common? Reelection in ’82.”

“A Montana Republican and a South Carolina Democrat,” Jim scoffed. “You need goddamn dynamite to get them out of office.”

“I was thinking of using another tool,"" Reed said coyly. ""A Sledgehammer, perhaps.”

Jim raised his eyebrows at the Vice President’s grin.

“I want you to run two separate election campaigns for me, Jim. We need to find two Democrats, one in South Carolina and one in Montana. You’ll work and liaise with both campaigns and run them from D.C., money will not be an object. I have donors who love giving me cash and I’ll have John set up PACs for both races.”

Jim furrowed his brow and tried to wrap his head around it.

“How can you have donors in another state adequately fund two Senate races in states they have no stake in? Just trying to wrap my head around it.”

“You’d be surprised how much people are willing to give you money for campaigning when they think you’re the power behind the throne. My PACs are stuffed to the gills, Jim. Share and share alike, I say.”

Jim nodded slowly and let the angles play out in his mind. It didn’t make too much sense for Reed to want to do this unwieldy plan. He and Helms were close back when he was Majority Leader, and he was just talking up Doug Collins’ usefulness. They were two of the most valuable cogs in the legislative machinery of the Senate. True, Helms was a pain in the ass, but Collins was always a straight shooter. As far as committees...

“Judiciary,” Jim finally said. “That’s it, isn’t it? They’re both the ranking members of the committee, Helms was chair and now Collins is the chairman with the new Republican majority. You want to reshape that committee. Why?”

“That’s above your pay grade, I’m afraid.”

Reed looked out the window and checked his watch. The Hay-Adams Hotel was dead ahead.

“We can get down to the nitty-gritty tonight, talk logistics and payment and initial strategy. I got you a room here at the hotel for two days. We’ve still got two years, but I want to start on this as soon as possible. We hit the ground running and do no let up until election day. You don’t have to give me a yes or a no right now, but at least let me know if you’re intrigued.”

“You kidding?” Jim said with a laugh. “I said I wanted a challenge, and I sure as hell got one.”

“Ask and ye shall receive,” Reed said with a wink. The car pulled up to the hotel, Reed’s bodyguard climbing out to open the door for him. 

“Room service is on me, Jim. I’ll see you tonight.”

Jim nodded and stayed sitting as Reed climbed out the car and ambled into the hotel lobby to press the flesh.  The smiling, folksy person the people in the lobby saw and shook hands with was a far different creature that had just occupied this car.

“’84 or ’88?” Jim asked Reed’s chief of staff.

“What’s that, Mr. Sledge?” John asked from the front seat.

“Is Reed actually going to wait until ’88 to run, or is he crazy enough to actually challenge the president in ’84?</div>"

The clunking and clattering of a old APC echoed around the grassy fields of the border, the APC itself was old and withered, being surplus equipment from WW1. A tall Serbian soldier peeked out the top hole of the APC, looking down the mounted machine gun as the APC continued it’s patrol. The sun rapidly sunk lower in the sky as the light faded, being replaced by the looming moon and the twinkling stars.

“Anything to report Branko?” shouted the Commander of the APC, sitting the back and watching over the soldiers hunched in the seats of the APC.

“No sir!” shouted back Branko, who was manning the gun of the APC. He slid back into the take for a moment, grabbing a pair of binoculars that was laying on one of the benches, scanning across the flat grasslands and looking for any signs of trouble. He stopped his scanning for a moment as in the glass of his binoculars he saw a few people moving along the border.

“Hang On! We got movement, North-East.” said Branko, ducking back into the APC to look at the commander. The border-line that divided the province of Albania from the rest of Serbia was locked down, due in part to the Mafiya’s heavy influence over the area. It was a constant struggle between military forces and Mafiya smugglers as they battled it out in towns and fields in the area. The driver of the APC slammed his foot into the accelerator, the APC now moving rapidly to the location where the men had been spotted.

The men they saw appeared to be a company of six, each had a rifle slung over their backs. As soon as they saw the APC charging towards them they began shouting phrases in Russian. They appeared to be protecting a pure white van, although the APC crew did not know what was contained within the van itself.

“There definitely Mafiya! Everyone out of the APC, gun the bastards down!” shouted the Commander. The APC screeched across the field, sending dirt and rocks into the air as the men hopped out the back and began firing at the Mafiya across the field. The van had parked and the Mafiya were using it to cover themselves.

The once peaceful field was now full of strife, as the crackling of gunfire echoed through the night, as the sun had finally fallen in the sky. Crimson red blood ran through the fields, as the Mafiya fell to the Serb Gunfire. They were disorganized as they continued to shout out indistinguishable phrases in Russia. Branko had dismounted the APC Gun, as using it risked tearing apart whatever the Mafiya had in the van. However as he rushed to take out the last soldier, he garnered a lucky hit in Branko’s stomach region. Branko screamed out in pain as he fell to the ground, as the commander fired a bullet at the Mafiya who had shot Branko’s head, bringing about his demise.

“Branko! Are you alright!?” worried the Commander, rushing to Branko’s side. A medic that had been in the APC was also quick to rush over to Branko.
“Do not freak out, the bullet did not hit anything critical, all though a few more centimeters over as Branko would have been a goner.” assured the medic, applying pressure to Branko’s wound as he applied a gauze pad and some other medical substances to treat the wound. Branko said nothing, his face disgruntled and showing clearly that he was in pain. The rest of the squad stood around Branko, checking on him and assuring him that everything was going to be alright.

“Everyone else besides our medic here and Private     Branko, clean up the bodies and check the van! Now!” commanded the Commander, the rest of the Serbian Soldiers rushing around as they piled up the bodies and opened up the van.</div>"

The questions had gone well. Or so Auyi felt. He had spent his time reaffirming his position on the regional autonomy question. Softly praising the hundreds of groups across China. He felt he had spoken confidently, and that gave him confidence. From there, the question and answers had become a blur of the vanilla types. Sabit asked him what he thought of the condition of Urumqi, and if he felt Beijing could do anything more. Auyi agreed, saying that China deserved equal chances for equal growth. Not only in the east, where the villages and the factory towns fed into the ports and became fat. The rest could develop as well in much the same way. The avenues would just need to be exploited.

He couldn't say the same for Jie, who had taken his mother away to explore while the press's backs were turned. But he had caught it from the corner of his eyes. When he looked back at Sabit too he knew that he was aware. But was relieved when he showed no signs of caring. He understood, he had that light in his eyes. The same sort of look Bathukhan gave him when he had complained of Jie when he was an infant.

When the press was done, the casual pleasantries returned. Sabit's wife came to the house, no doubt knowingly dodging the press gang. The introductions were prompt and polite. Bows and compliments exchanges. Sabit's wife was much like himself, an old portly woman kissed by the sun. Her face shining with a raw energy. Auyi had to wonder if the two fed off each others liveliness. Her wide wrinkled cheeks flushed with the passion of cheery blossoms when she smiled and stole Bao Yu in conversation, pawing casually at her plain white hijab.

When it had all died, the hosts and company's interests turned to feet. Shortly after Sabit's wife, Patime's return a young man had arrived at the door, delivering to the door a rack of meat. Sabit dealt with him personally, paying for the goat he had. Shortly after a team of youths with ice haggled with the old Uyghur, and he won him a block of ice for his wooden ice-box with a several ren.

With the haggling over and the afternoon drawing late, Sabit stole off Auyi. Dragging him off to speak to the council of Uyghur elders. Where again he affirmed his position to them and partook in discussion. The meeting became a vicious blur of old men, and hushed murmurs in their Turkic tongue. As the light outside darkened, the two were shuttled back home for a dinner.

“What a curious meat.” Bao Yu complimented as they sat down to the private dinner. The harsh sun of western China had lowered below the mountains. Its reach painting the sky in brilliant fiery oranges and blossoming rosy pinks. The deserts to the west came alive in airbrushed colors that shone through the windows. And Urumqi itself had fallen dark in its awe.

“It's camel.” Patime said with a smile, “My husband seems to think it's a rather tough meat, but I think he forgot what he's missing. He decided he likes goat now.” she added with a coy smile, looking over to her husband who hung over his food with a guilty smile.

Patime had laid out a modest spread for their guests. A tray of a hard-crust bread sat in the center of the table alongside simple ceramic bowls of dipping sauces. Alongside the bread a large pot of pilaf sat, from whence any of the guests could greedily scoop out with a tin ladle. The pilaf carried a rich smell of the freshly butchered rack of goat, seasoned in spices. Hints of garlic wafted up from the rice bed within.

“It's a taste I brought back from the east.” he replied, mocking regret as he droned. “It was difficult to find camel out there. But I discovered goat from the markets on Beijing's south-west side. It was probably the only meat there that's hallel.”

“You take that seriously then?” Auyi asked innocently, taking a sip of dark minty tea.

“Of course.” Sabit laughed, “It's part of Uyghur identity in many ways. I wouldn't give it up. And in a politics as large as Chinese it helps to stand out. Helps with an identity.” he added, smiling. “Like you and your white suit.”

Auyi chuckled politely, looking down at the white Zhongshan he wore. It was signature in a way. Though in the dust of Urumqi it had stained to an off-white. “We can get it out.” Bao Yu comforted, sweeping at the sleeves with her fingers.

“Not at the table, we don't want to get the food dusty.” Auyi remarked embarrassed. The table laughed at the minister's flustered embarrassment.

“It wouldn't be new to me.” Bathukhan remarked, a wave of nostalgia on his lips, “Eating dusty food.”

“That's right, you're Mongolian. But you urbanized, so it doesn't matter.” Sabit toyed, “But what's your roll in Auyi's mission anyways?” he asked over a bite of food.

“Merely due friendship.” he replied nonchalantly, “And with the elections there hasn't been much in Congress. Xiaogang Wen is going to hardly miss my vote. And neither with my constituents. The last major battle I was needed for ended, all that's left is the oversight committee to pull together and approve incoming applications. Once those groups pull together.

“Have they started here yet?” the Mongolian congressman pried.

“Auyi met the start of it today.” Sabit pointed, “It's here, and it's coming up. We just need to rally the leaders to make the framework, and then we get to sit down with Beijing. Based on my understanding not everyone is set to meet with the Committee either, or petition them.

“You and I both know the affairs of government don't happen instantly. By the end of the summer though is when I imagine it'll officially begin.”

“Gyatso's started though.”

“Well I don't think Beijing will permit a theocracy. So though the promise is filled the Tibetan leaders still need to quarrel over it.

“Which may actually be harder if certain competition gets in.” Sabit segwayed, looking up at Auyi.

“Certainly.” he committed, mid bite.

“Has anyone heard some of what he's said? Or reputed to have said? Xhu terrifies me, more than I'd care for his lack of inspiration for out this far. Reminds me of the Manchurian witch-hunts. Do you remember those?”

“For all my effort: no, I don't really remember much. I wasn't as aware then.” Bathukhan smiled.

“I think that counts for me too.” Auyi shrugged.

“Well, I suppose that goes for the way things are.” Sabit sighed.

“Straying from the topic though, what do you think of Russia, Auyi?” the Uyghur chief asked.

“Russia I think is not our fight.” he responded plainly, “Though to a certain degree it is our commitment, but it isn't really in Chinese interest. It's in Siberian or Russian interest. Our diplomatic commitment to our allies is admiral and it's fine to see a nation who for once cares for the other people of the world, but there needs to be a point we can draw down in Russia and let the Siberians take control.

“I'm not saying cut them off as soon as I take office, but make a serious exit plan with Nikolov. Present them the means to reunite the Russian state themselves and engage in discussion with Radek on merging the two parties to make a single Russian state for good.

“And for the balance in the Comintern I don't think two or multiple Russias is healthy for the balance of representation. Where all parties gets what the Russians effectively get three votes per representative. So there needs to be an effort to make them one state again.”

“On the Comintern, you really going to leave that post? I imagine it'd make you considerably powerful a man.”

“No.” Auyi sighed, “I don't want to waste the time. Besides I want good image. I imagine we all do in the end. So I'm stepping down. The member blocs should already be trying to front a candidate they'll put into a running to replace me. So we get a new guy then, and a new purpose for the International, at least in image.

“I'll probably stick around as a representative from China though if it matters.” he added dismissively.

“Fair enough I imagine.” Sabit replied, “But you do talk about trying to increase China's presence in the world. I wonder because it seems stepping up in Russia would be counter-intuitive.”

“It won't because it provides the wrong sort of image.” Auyi contested, “Bathukhan brought this concern to me before when I was writing my platform.”

“I read papers.” the Mongol said simply, never looking up from his plate as he slowly picked through it.

“So if not, what then?”

“Mang Xhu seems to think that China can increase its presence and reinstate growth through a war and annexation economy.” mused Auyi, “On the pretense of growth and once again promoting wage growth he can eek it out by initiating Conflicts of Revolution on a potentially grander scale than our missions to Mongolia and Indochina. Not just sliding a few arms and adivsors to choice groups, but physical man power and greater material aid. Start actual wars really, and not conduct subversive missions; which have been more-or-less successful.

“I don't like the risk associated with this.” Auyi continued, “It'll put us in a bad light with our only allies when we demand their land for the greater revolution, and further alienate potential partners. I believe in a more <span class=""bb-i"">comprehensive</span> revolution.

“As much faith as I have in the worker's paradise I doubt we'll achieve it so long as there are parties who will fight it. So we need to downplay the fears of these parties and win their support. Hou in had that right, although his aim was political unity and not international favor. But China has incredibly potential to project itself upon the world stage and really play large roles in the international community from the level of the people on up.

“In a harsh idea, it's getting nations to become reliant on us. But we make the rules still. To prevent another Qing Disaster we need to organize to open the Chinese market, and invite foreign trade to our ports. That way our people can produce on a wider scale and achieve Mang Xhu's goals without having to fire a shot.”

“I don't imagine that can sit well.” Sabit commented with a low voice, “What happened last time when this same thing happened? How are you going to tackle the memory?”

“But doing so on our own terms, and not sitting here until some foreigners force it.

“We'll still adhere to the Revolution. It's a given. But its useless if there no point. China's reached about as high as it can go on its own and among its partners in the Comintern. But we can build past the ceiling.”

“Sounds like you got a platform!” Sabit commented, clapping and laughing, “Why don't you get him to debate Xhu?” he asked eagerly, leaning in to Shanxi Wu. The small whippish man leaned back in shock, eyes wide behind his glasses.

“I'd support the endeavor.” Bathukhan nodded.

“I wouldn't rush it though.” Wu replied cynically, “Do any of us know if Auyi is up to it? No offense to you comrade, but I'm not sure how you'll hold up or if you can articulate your points over someone else.”

“Then why not a lesser opponent?” Patime offered, “Has to be someone. Just for practice really. Like how the men will race their horses against weaker ones just to warm them up.”

Shanxi Wu nodded, his eyes lighting up, “This I can organize.” he said, “I'll need a day to think about names, but we got the time here. I can head back to base tomorrow morning. By the time I get there I'll get the aids on the phones finding dates.

“Three or four maybe might work, we'll see how Auyi does after those. Then maybe we can get with Xhu's campaign to get one in.”

“I'm eager.” Auyi lied, forcing a smile as his heart skipped a beat. Last time the two had talked, it ended with Xhu storming out on a dinner much like this.

“With all of that though,” Sabit leaned back, “in your possible China. What sort of role do you think an old Uyghur might have?”

Auyi looked up at him. Knowing that wanting look in his eyes. It wasn't obvious to the lay people of the table. Bao Yu didn't seem to get the hint at where he was going. And Wu only connected it when he saw the subtle looks he and Bathukhan returned. This was the part where the traded things.

“Depends. There's a lot of potential.”

“Open doors?” Sabit smiled.

“Sure, everything will be changed out. Sooner or later.”

“Most certainly.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Perm, Russia</span>

“Dmitri, do you have your papers?” a voice said distantly, muffled and suffocated in a cold haze. Mad thumping drummed in the air like the beat of a maddened heart.

“Did they really shut the water off again?” another shouted. High pitched and feminine. She shouted angered and distressed. Her piercing voice cutting through the fog. He couldn't tell if she was near or far.

The sounds and the rhythm of where he was sharpened. It came back into focus as he became steadily more aware. Could feel the hard press of edges in his back. A misplaced sensation of discomfort in his neck, like someone was holding his head at an angle, but held it there for far too long. It did not hurt, but it did throb. Much like the rest of him.

There was an emptiness in his stomach. He gnawed and rolled uncomfortably below his chest. It did not threaten to burst, but it did threaten to chew itself up from the inside. His fingers twitched and he felt the hard knock against the wooden table on which he lay.

His throat felt dry and rattling as he breathed out. A sharp choking cough passed his lips and suddenly everything went silent. A switch flipped off and everything went dead. In that room the cliché would have ran true: a pin drop could have been heard.

“Komrade, he's awake!” someone shouted in the room, and Jun's eyes rolled open. And for once, something stung. A sharp dryness stung his eyes with needles, and with the light he recoiled and hissed in agony as he blinded himself. Rolling on the table he recoiled back, expecting tears to come but none falling.

Hands dove down on him and forced him down, “Don't let him move! He'll break something!” someone yelled as he groaned in abrupt agony.

“Komrade!” the same voice said, closer. More distinct. A powerful young voice. It rang with the power of iron bells. “He's awake!” he repeated, “Damn, where is he?” he hissed spitefully.

“My eyes.” Jun spat between clenched teeth.

“He's talking. That's a good sign.” another voice said. In Russian.

“Water here.” someone stuttered, “Open his eyes.” he demanded. Jun protested as nearly a dozen hands grabbed hold of him, pulling his arms back and forcing open his eyes. In the haze mist that clouded his vision he could barely make out the bottle over him before a torrent splashed down over his face.

He cried out in shock, throwing his captors off and shooting up, frantically rubbing his face with his palm.

“Where'd you get the water?” the girl asked.

“I kept it hidden just for this.” the other said, and Jun realized it too was a woman.

He sputtered insults under his breath, rubbing the water from his eyes. His head felt full of heavy foam. His sides were twisted and stiff. Sitting up, he felt as if he couldn't move again. He slouched down over his knees moaning bitterly to himself as shadows gathered around him, talking hushed in whispered Russian. Too quite for the agent to hear over the panicked beating of his own heart.

A patient tensity resumed. The Discord he had awoken too replaced by an excited silence. A fear, or an awe. He couldn't tell.

His head was still swimming. But he managed to look up. The room he was in, some sort of library. Gathered around him was a group of men and women. All young. The youngest ones looking nothing later than their late teens, and the oldest ones in their mid-twenties at best. They all looked at him, wearing a sense of caution and wonder. Their pale faces basking in the sickly yellow-green light of the fixture over head.

Behind them in the door stood on of his kind. He leaned on the frame of the wide entrance, arms crossed. His expression was not that of wonder or fear. He measured him up more so than the others took him in. He knew him. But Jun couldn't place it.

“Komrades, I think you all have things to do.” the Asian man in the back beckoned. His tone carried heavy, though his Russian was mired in the ghosts of Chinese tones. Expectantly and obediently they began to file out of the room, quiet in their exit.

With the last one out the doors closed. They thudded heavily against each other.

“I'd like it if you lay back down.” the Chinese man requested in Mandarin, as he walked towards him, “It'll make me more comfortable that you won't rip something open again.”

“What do you mean?” Jun asked, rubbing his temples as he gave the man a confused look. He was thinly built, though his face looked as if he could have been a larger man. His cheeks had shallowed and his skin hang loose on his bones. He did not look old, but he hadn't aged well here.

“When we found you, you had a severe puncture wound, several broken bones, and at least one broken rib. Your head injuries suggest you took a hit to the head, and the amount of blood on you suggests you lost a lot of blood, you might be sick and weak for a few more days yet.

“Adding to that, but you're burned across twenty to thirty percent of your lower body and you were on that table unconscious for several days. As much as we tried, I imagine you're malnourished and dehydrated. So lay down comrade.”

Jun nodded, lowering himself back down across the hard surface. The tension in his sides and back made it difficult, and he groaned as he lowered himself.

“To be terribly honest, this isn't the first time I saw you in a bad way.” the man said, looking at him. He looked conflicted. The way he half smiled as he looked at Jun showing a relief that hadn't graced his worn appearance and graying black hair. At the same time, his eyes did not look to celebrate, but only bore an adept caution.

“I was in Tibet when I saw you first and last.” he continued as he pulled a chair over from alongside a stack of ages-old books, “Like you, I was there to provide intelligence and even to disperse anti-Chinese groups after the initial invasion. I was there for about five years.

“What impressed me about you though was how you came in, limping, held up by a regular soldier. Your pants had been frayed up to your knee. What had been your pants leg shredded and turned into an impromptu bandage. But that didn't stop the bone that ran out through your skin.

“And the stink. Shit, the smell on you. You – that leg of yours – was on its last leg; excuse the pun, comrade.” he sighed, sitting down, “But all the same as you walked by me in the field hospital lobby in that old palace in Lhasa you still tried to walk on that leg, as if you felt no pain. It was merely a minor inconvenience.

“How does a man do that?” he asked.

“He crawls.” Jun answered, staring up at the wooden ceiling and at the cob webs that filled the corners, “And if he can not go where he crawls, he walks.

“That's how I shot my bone out through the side. I was a day by any other means outside Lhasa. But I had to keep going.”

“But how did you break your leg?” the other agent asked, perplexed.

“I fell.” he said simply. He didn't want to talk about it. He didn't want to talk about anything else. It was like talking to another Ulanhu. Some things – many things – just didn't need to go said. Not that they were dangerous, or they were important, but because much of it was bullshit.

“I should have guessed.” the other agent nodded, “Did you have a partner? I see you're still solo. No rifleman to carry you by the shoulder.”

“First got shot.” Jun answered stiffly, “Other's in the mountains.”

“Tragic.” Jun new conversation partner mourned, “I lost mine last year. Some crazy fuck ran him over with a truck. Took his body. I only got the head in a box, popped like a grape.”

Jun took a deep agitated sigh. He wanted to get up and walk out. Get on the road again. But he still didn't know where he was, who this man is, or where his gear went. “How's Beijing?” he asked.

“Excuse me?”

“Beijing, comrade.” he repeated, “I haven't been there in three years. I'm missing home.

“I know you couldn't have come from anywhere else first, the Dragons like to call people into the Nest when they send some small teams out. I haven't been in Beijing for three fucking years.”

“It was fine when I left.” Jun said, “There was snow.”

“Fine, I suppose.” the other agent shrugged, “Do you perchance know how deep we go here?” he said, uncomfortably. He sounded like he was going to betray a secret, but some part demanded he do it. He looked at Jun square in the eyes. Demanding and knowing. He sought something to would say 'no'. That he knew already.

“No, I don't.” he replied.

The other agent groaned in distress, throwing his hands to his face as he rubbed his temples. “Fucking great.” he cursed bitterly, “I hope we were not forgotten out here.” he complained.

“Listen,” he continued, “You and I are not the only Tigers here in Russia. As I hope you know some of the oldest operatives here went silent in Russia on order after the first invasion took a nose dive and shit went to hell. After, Beijing sent more of us into Russia to scout the nation out, and to try and establish some foot hold. Or something, I don't know. I know all of us were told to do different things, that much is certain. My partner and I were told to try and get some pro-Chinese support up and...” he trailed off nervously. Pointing to the door, “That's all either of us managed to assemble. There are people interested, but not enough to form an army like we were asked to form.

“So here I sit, and here my partner in crime would have sat playing glorified babysitter to some kids trying to go through school, and angered they can't get jobs. Some life.” he laughed. But it was conflicted, sorrowful as much as it was humored.

Jun didn't catch the humor in it, and bore him down with a stout unamused look. He could see the pained failure to find it funny, and his expression darkened. “There were about two-hundred of us.” he replied. “But since then, over fifty six of us have died or went missing.” he began again with a solemn mournful tone.

“So there's hundred-fourty-four of us left in the state, or the failed state. The causality rate over the past year got so bad that we actually sought each other out to found a network to support ourselves. Underground, like the Mafiya everyone wants to deal with; but can't help but be absorbed into. We learned all of our operation names, the general area of our operations. On the hope it'd be vague enough to keep each other safe, but exact enough we can seek each other out if we need something.

“It's a slow one, but it's the only one. Sing personally ordered we fall radio silent so we can't be found out. We've been stationed here ever sense.”

“So who are you?” asked Jun.

“Me? Stripped Tiger. I was number two until my partner was killed.”

“I see.” Jun nodded. “When can I go?” he asked.

“You?” Stripped Tiger laughed, “Probably not for a while.” he snickered, “You're in a bad shape. We were only just able to get some basic supplies from the royal college to keep you alive. You're fortunate we have a trained doctor, if incapable of finding work if you can believe it.

“You'll need to ask with him. But he left early today. He's got grand neighborhood rounds to do. He tried to pay the bills.

“But when he's back he'll give you his thoughts.”

<span class=""bb-b"">Omsk, Russia</span>

And again he was cut off. Standing along the edge of an abandoned street Tsung was left behind to find his way back to where he was. Or needed to be. The body guard provided to him by the German getting him out as far as he needed. When they had gotten to this street he had turned and left. But in all readiness, Tsung didn't know where else to go. So he had stood there, idly staring off into the darkened windows of a storefront across the street. He couldn't read the Russian, so wouldn't know what it was. Any other features that would have helped had long gone missing.

The street from end to end looked to have suffered through looting. In the after math of evacuations someone had swept through and carried off anything they could carry. Tsung looked down at the marching succession of windows at the rampant and merciless desolation. It wasn't much in the way of war damage. It was far too targeted at the windows. The only suggestions there had been battle were dried pools of blood in the asphalt. But he figured they could have been started by mobs as well as soldiers. He kicked at the loose stones, none the wiser on where had to go. He wasn't even sure if he was escorted out the direction he came, if he had he probably would have ended up in the airport again.

Fifteen minutes. That's as long as the German insisted he stayed. About around that time the Russian patrons turned and left as well, all the less sober than they were when he arrived. Tsung didn't feel comfortable with the idea of seating with them. There was an underlying hostility even he could smell among the booze and liquor. He choose to sit in a corner and to not drink. Watching the riotous laughter of the Republicans as shells exploded above. When they left they all went one way, so he went the other.

The columns of thick black smoke didn't help anything either. Rising from the city and country-side all around him rose thick inky columns. They rose high before diffusing, clouding the air in an even veil as they caught the wind. Even the hints of airplanes were masked in the heavy burning. And the air was thick with the sharp bitter smells of the high explosive shells.

It made his chest sink. A heavy heart beat deep, wondering if the rest of his crew had made it. But the ferocity of the shelling made it unlikely. At least in his mind. Even thinking out it made his ears ring.

He looked back down to the road when he heard a familiar clatter and rumble of engines. Turning to his left he saw wheeling down the road a drab armored car. Its thick wheels grinding over the loose bricks and shards of glass. The ground crackled and popped under the heavy rubber tires as it drew close to Tsung. Instinctively, and almost out of fear the tanker rose his hands over his head, and cowered back as the green turtle pulled up alongside him. In the dim light of the afternoon he could see the faint shadows of the drivers in the narrow tinted windows.

A hatch on the top popped and was thrown open by a burly figure. His green coat weighing heavy on his shoulders as he turned to Tsung. A thick beard hid his mouth, but he scowled down at him. “Who the fuck are you?” he scowled in clear Mandarrin.

“Private Li Tsung. First Liaoniang Cavalry, comrade.” he replied quivering, “I was cut off from my unit.”

The man on the car looked down at him confused, “How th- how the fuck does a tanker get cut off from his tank?” he demanded.

“I- I was caught with my pants down.” Tsung frowned.

“Right...” the officer replied, “Well whatever the case, you're one of ours. We're going to figure this out. Jump in the fucking back and we'll sort this through.

“Alright, open up the back hatch. <span class=""bb-i"">Derrew bol</span>, comrades!” he shouted as he lowered himself in. As his hatch close, the back of the carrier opened, letting in Tsung.

He scurried around the corner to the door. Hesitating he gave pause when his gaze fell to the body laying on the floor. Laying in a pool of blood a young man his age looked up at him, hand holding a fistful of blood-soaked rags to the side of his face. He looked up at with a grimace of expectant pain. He was already go pale.

“Come one, we don't got any time!” the lieutenant cried back at him. His voice exploded with a fiery impatience. He leaned around from the front passenger seat of the armored personnel carrier, his face a bitter scowl, “Fucking Han kids for fucks sake. Come on!”

Tsung felt numb looking at the injured soldier. But imagined the Uyghur officer's rage was more violent than the injured lump. He stepped in, his breathing freezing. He felt his boots slip across the bloodied metal floor. As soon as he was in the door was shut behind him and the muffled rumble of the engine taxied him down the road.

“Cigarette?” someone asked. Tsung jumped as something drummed against his chest and he looked up from the crumpled figuring rolling on the floor, grunting at each bump. His face was pale and he could feel it.

“N-n-no. I don't s-smoke.” he said weakly. His stomach felt ill. But the man shrugged it off.

“1st Liaoniang?” the lieutenant said from up front. He was turned back in the front seat again, holding onto the spartan metal console between him and the driver.

“Y-yes sir.” Tsung said meekly.

“What's the name of your CO then?” he asked.

“Sun Song, comrade.”

“Song? I heard an officer of that name was to be at the airstrip today. I was supposed to reinforce him.

“Russians really pounded the shit out of it though. But how'd you end up a kilometer and a half away if your pants were 'just down'?” he pried.

“I-I wouldn't know even if I c-could tell you.” stuttered Tsung, glancing back down at the body.

“Hey, up here shit head. Don't worry about that unlucky son of a bitch at your feet. You got his spot anyways. He just took a load of shrapnel to the face; he's still alive so he'll be fine.

“So speak clearly, you don't know how you got to where you are?” he demanded.

“N-no sir.” Tsung responded, prying his startled gaze from the injured soldier.

“Alright then.” the officer sighed, “You're certainly green enough to not know, even if you were one of my fucking men. We'll let comrade Sun deal you out then.

“Fucking pussy.” he swore, grabbing for the car's radio console.

“Just let me call in for you.” he grumbled.

“R-right. Thank you.” Tsung nodded to the sharp-spirited giggling of the other men present.

“Lujuun zhoongwei  Hala Khan of the 3rd platoon, 8th Heilongjiang Mechanized infantry calling in on a request for a status update on one Sun Song, 1st Liaoniang armored cavalry.” the lieutenant said into the radio receiver, “We picked up a boy serving under him. I'd like to return him. Over.”

There was an audible pause from the console. “Got that. Stand by for information.” the speakers chirped.

“I'll be here.”</div>"

Bone dry gravel crunched underneath the Fantasma's landing gear as the plane touched down. The pilot within drew a sigh of relief as his plane rolled down the dusty wash. He tore the oxygen mask from his face and pressed up against the cockpit windshield once his craft ground to a halt on the gravel. A brief burst of air whistling out through the broken seal of the cockpit could be heard as the pilot pushed the windshield canopy up and over his head; the lack of electrical power that had prompted this emergency landing prevented the cabin from depressurizing.

He rolled out of the cockpit and slid down onto terra firma before taking in his surroundings. His only companions on this barren and desolate spit of land were wind-worn boulders that rested amongst the vast, flat gravel fields. The only sounds to be heard beside those of his boots crunching against sand and pebbles were the crashing of azure waves against the beach a kilometer or so to the North. As one might expect of a thoroughly inhospitable desert island, it appeared utterly devoid of any life - human or otherwise. Appreciative of the fact that he would not be disturbed, the pilot set about getting his fighter airborne as quickly as possible.

A quick glance about the fighter showed no physical damage produced by the lightning strike, as expected. Lightning strikes on airplanes were, in fact, quite common. When they did occur, they almost never produced serious negative impacts to the plane. But in all his years of flying for the Spanish Fuerza Aerea, the pilot could not think of a single instance where a lightning strike had produced a loss of power to the plane. Certainly not on the part of a flash of lightning from a clear sky. The circumstances that had brought the most advanced airplane in Spain back to the Earth were exceedingly bizarre; verging on what was naturally impossible. Thoughts of revolutionary electrical defense technologies played through his mind as he stooped under the cockpit to access the panel that housed the Fantasma's battery.

With one of the screwdriver attachment on his standard-issue multitool, the pilot deftly unfastened the rivets holding the aluminum panel against the airframe and peeked within the battery housing.

He spotted the problem at once. A wire connector had been dislodged from the positive terminal on the battery stowed within. Fresh sootmarks covered the copper springloaded attachment points, designed to keep the wires attached to the terminals despite the intense forces imposed upon a fighter aircraft, suggested that the lightning strike had somehow caused the connection to disengage. The failure of this particular part would likely become the focus of intense investigation on the part of the Fantasma's engineers, but for the pilot it was a remarkably simple fix. He snapped off the reciprocal attachment point on the negative terminal, replaced the connection on the positive terminal, and then attached the negative terminal. A blue spark and a whiff of ozone materialized when the negative terminal was reattached, signifying that the battery was still in good working order. In three minutes, the aluminum panel was replaced and the pilot was clambering into the cockpit once again. This time, the blades of the jet engine beneath him heeded his command when he beckoned the plane to life. A cone of superheated air shot out into the desert from the exhaust on the plane's tail as the engine warmed up, driving sand and scattering pebbles. 

With the engine rumbling with sufficient energy below, the pilot disengaged the gear brakes and fell back into his seat as the jet rumbled across the desert with a trail of dust billowing behind. The servos in the wing elevators galvanized the Fantasma up off the desert and back into the air as the pilot yanked back hard against the yoke. A glance back to the tail of the fighter showed that thin yellow island of sand and rock falling away behind him as his Fantasma rocketed upward.

The fighter levelled off gradually at its original altitude - nearly an hour  now after a bolt from the blue sent it limping back to the Earth. It was likely that its prey had fallen into the sea by now, but the kill would have to be confirmed. Not a single airplane could be permitted to escape Africa before the Armada's landfall. So the pilot turned about in his seat, looking about this way and that. He scanned the cerulean void around him for any sign of the cargo aircraft that he had wounded earlier. The sky was empty. Or so it initially seemed.

A flicker of light caught the pilot's eye, directing his attention to the south. A glance down toward the wider Indian Ocean revealed nothing of note. But a similar flash came momentarily into existence once again, joined by another glint of reflected sunlight. Any pilot could readily identify the source of such a fickle glimmer: reflective sunlight. The Fantasma was no longer alone in the sky. The Spanish jet banked and turned about to the south. The pilot inside punched the throttle and felt his inside sink down into his lap, his gloved hands gripping the joystick with white-knuckle force and his index finger resting alongside the trigger.

As the Fantasma screamed high above the Gulf of Aden, twin pinpricks appeared in the sky, moving north at the same logic-defying speed as the Spanish fighter. The time required to close the great distance between these objects should have been double the time it actually took. The incoming aircraft before the Fantasma could only be jets. And according to field reports procured by the Oficina de Inteligencia Militar, the Pan-African Empire did not possess the technology to field jet aircraft. A startling realization dawned upon the Fantasma's pilot:

These were Chinese planes.</div>"
22121,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-03-09 20:30:00,Vilageidiotx,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Addis Ababa</span><br/><br/>The War Room of the Imperial Palace was a round theatre-style room, with a gallery of benches lining its walls. In the center of the floor was painted forty by thirty foot map of Africa in a dozen shades of brown. Harsh yellow light poured from the ceiling as Hassan stood on the continent The contours of its coast and details of its topography were painted clearly so that Ethiopia's leaders could understand the theaters of their wars visually. Hassan stood in the center. He was broad man, though old age was beginning to make him flabby. His baggy uniform, a starched olive parade outfit, hid some of that though, With one foot in Nekemte and the other in Awasa, he looked like a giant brooding over a helpless Ethiopia.<br/><br/>Yaqob stood as well, black trimmed robes flowing over him like a dress. He took a place just outside the circumference of the map. In the gallery of benches surrounding them sat three men. One was Taytu's assistant Ita Thabiti, a middle aged man who was bald except for a thin horseshoe of wiry, short cut hair crowning his temple. He sat politely at one end of the room, mostly silent. At the other end was Yaqob's old friend Themba Akanni. He was the Prime Minister of the Ethiopian Empire, but his title had done little more than bury him in parliamentary politics. Akanni had once been the type of man to dress in European fashion and keep his hair short, but he was different now. He wore a thick black suit, golden flowers embroidered on the pockets and intricate intertwining patterns of gold trim climbing up the front, meeting with a tight embellished collar. He had let his hair grow out some, and it was beginning to hint at an afro. The third man, sitting across the room from Akanni, was Chitundu.<br/><br/>""The inspectors we sent to Kivu only confirmed it."" Chitundu shouted from the gallery. Chitundu was a rare man in the sense that he had risen to the position of Imperial Adviser for Domestic Affairs despite being from poverty-stricken Katanga. The very same Katanga that had rebelled four years ago, though Chitundu had proven his loyalty by staying with Yaqob's government during that fight. His ink-dark skin and wide features stood out amongst the light skinned East-Africans that made up the inner circle of Ethiopian government. He was an older man now, and he suffered pains that made him sit awkwardly, in poses that made him look slightly insolent.<br/><br/>""Nobody cares about your roads."" Ras Hassan groaned. He had been put on edge by news that had arrived an hour earlier. The Spanish had brushed aside their defenses in the Mandeb strait as easily as they would swat at flies. This meant that Ethiopia no longer had a navy, but that was not what troubled Hassan. He had expected them to be more prudent, Yaqob knew. Prudence was something that Hassan could exploit, but it looked like Spain had no interest in giving him that chance.<br/><br/>Yaqob could not help but agree with Hassan about the roads. Chitundu was a bureaucrat through and through. He had become so focused on his own career that he seemed to forget about the apocalypse that was coming for them over the sea. Yaqob's mind was on his family, surely in Persia by now, though he had not heard anything about them since they left. That had been nearly nine hours ago. Only five hours had passed since he gave the speech at the Addis Ababa Press Club that officialized the war. This day had been nothing but new stresses for him, and he was beginning to wonder if it would ever end.<br/><br/>""I agree. The war is more important, Ras."" Chitundu continued in his obstinance. ""But doesn't that make theft from the government a treason?""<br/><br/>Hassan didn't respond.<br/><br/>""It's a grave treason."" Akanni said with the melodramatic flair of a charismatic politician. ""To betray your people in times of war? They should die for that."" Yaqob felt strange to think this was the same man who had accused Yaqob of being too serious when they lived in exile together in China.<br/><br/>Yaqob did not think that this argument needed his input, in truth. It was something that Chitundu's office could surely handle on its own. But it was his job as Emperor to care about the nation, and his very sense of self kept him from staying silent. In times like this, after all, Yaqob got a strange sort of comfort from the youthful benevolence he had prided himself in when he first ascended to the throne. ""Have the inspectors had the chance to assess how much money we lost on this?"" he said.<br/><br/>""They say that there is at least seventy kilometers of road left undeveloped."" he said. ""The Kivu office had been too short handed to oversee the contractors...""<br/><br/>""Nevermind the excuses."" Yaqob said politely. He knew how weak his government was beyond the urban centers of Africa. Three quarters of the nation remained beyond their ability to tax, even now when they could use the money. ""That was seventy kilometers out of how many?""<br/><br/>""Three hundred."" Chitundu replied.<br/><br/>Yaqob grimaced. He saw Ita Thabiti stir uncomfortably in his silent corner, and Akanni's expression twist in something between surprise and anger. ""That is nearly one a third of everything we payed them to do."" Yaqob said. ""Criminal charges are definitely in order.""<br/><br/>""That's the problem. That's why I brought it here."" Chitundu replied. ""We can't find the contractors.""<br/><br/>Yaqob blinked. Hassan snickered.<br/><br/>""You cannot find the contractors?"" Akanni blurted, ""How would they disappear?""<br/><br/>""They gave us false personal information."" Chitundu waved. ""The Kivu offices lost the photographs they took of these men. We are going off of the memory of the old woman who took the photos and a few men who worked on the stretches of road they actually finished. But, that is not enough."" Chitundu paused for a moment, and Yaqob could see that he was building up courage. When he continued, he spoke boldly. ""We need the Walinzi on this one.""<br/><br/>""The Walinzi are busy."" Hassan said firmly. ""There is a war, if you have forgot. Why is it that we are spending money on roads in Kivu when we can hardly pay for the oil to keep our war machines in the field?""<br/><br/>""The Kivu Road project was funded with Chinese grant money. It was money they earmarked specifically for infrastructural projects."" Chitundu said.<br/><br/>""The Chinese shouldn't be telling us how to spend that money."" Hassan grumbled. ""How many advisers do they have working with us? How many agents?""<br/><br/>""Some men working out of their embassy here."" Yaqob responded. ""And some working out of Pemba. Not many though."" He saw where Hassan was going with this. It was their oldest problem with the Chinese government. Near infinite resources and they horded every bit.<br/><br/>""They cannot tell us how we should be spending this money because they have no idea what the situation on the ground actually is."" Hassan said. ""They haven't seen Kivu. They haven't combed through our finances. We should have taken that money and spent it on defense.""<br/><br/>""We cannot spend all our money on defense."" Yaqob reminded. ""Or we would have nothing to defend. But Hassan is right about the rest of this. We cannot send agents hunting after thieves when our coasts are under attack by an enemy invader. The war takes extreme precedence."" He did not want to talk about roads anymore. It was time to change the subject. ""Speaking of the war. Hassan, where are we with it?""<br/><br/>The room-size map had more than just Hassan on it. Three-foot tall wooden poles stood on rounded stands to represent the military forces and their locations. Multiple ribbons of colored cloth hung limply from their tops and told what those poles stood for. A pole with a green ribbon meant that it belonged to Ethiopia. Blue meant it was an allied force - a force that the Ethiopian commanders had no direct control over, but could trust for support. And red meant the enemy. Additional ribbons signified what sort of unit that pole stood for, so that a green ribbon and a black ribbon meant Ethiopian infantry. A blue ribbon and a purple ribbon meant allied armor. And a red ribbon with a white ribbon meant enemy navy. The coast of east Africa was line with poles hanging the red and white ribbons.<br/><br/>""Rais has taken command of the first Sefari here"" he walked into the north of Ethiopia. ""He will be joined by most of the sixth Sefari, which is coming down from Sudan and leaving a token force to put up a fight should the Spanish attempt to land support to our north. I have taken personal command of the seventh Sefari...""<br/><br/>""Personal command?"" Yaqob interrupted. ""Wouldn't it be wiser for you to direct this war from behind the lines? If you die...""<br/><br/>""It would be wiser to do things that way."" Hassan agreed tentatively. Something in his voice sounded annoyed, but it was clear he was working to hide it. ""But it isn't the way I operate. Your majesty.""<br/><br/>Yaqob paused for a moment. ""I do not want to hinder you in any way."" he said. ""Do what you must do to win this war.""<br/><br/>Hassan gave Yaqob a lingering glance. ""The seventh with be joined by elements of the fourth, though we cannot bring much into the Rift valley to defend the coast. We'll bring some of the fourth into Somalia and keep the rest in Swahililand."" he paused for a moment, thinking. ""The only infrastructure in the Afar is the roads leading to Addis and Harar, and the city of Djibouti itself. It would take a great effort to defend, but there would be little pay-off. What I want to do is destroy what little comfort there is there, to kill as many Spaniards as we can, and then fall back and let them keep that desert and see how much they like it.""<br/><br/>It sounded like a sensible plan. The Afar Triangle was often said to be the hottest place in the world. It was place where water was scarce, coming out of maintenance-heavy wells and lakes that were half salt. Few people lived there, save for tribal salt miners and the citizens of the port city at Djibouti. They were well into the dry season by now, and the temperatures would be climbing toward one hundred and twenty degrees Fahrenheit.<br/><br/>""I like that. Break the infrastructure. Can you poison the wells, perhaps?"" as he said that, he felt a lump in his throat, and he immediately regretted himself. What about the innocent people? When water was scarce, the Spanish would take it all and leave the people to die. He wanted to do whatever he could to cause suffering to his enemy. This war with Spain felt like his war, a personal battle with Africa as the battleground. He wanted to hurt them, to kill them, and to see the life melt out of their eyes. He hadn't felt these brutal desires since the Katanga rebellion, and they disturbed him.<br/><br/>Hassan grinned. ""This is why I like you, your majesty. You might play the sad-sack from time to time, but when times get cruel, you get cruel right along with them.""<br/><br/>Insolence. Yaqob cringed. If Hassan has been anybody else, that wouldn't have been acceptable at all. But this was Hassan, and nobody said anything. His self-imagined role as benevolent monarch was beginning to dissolve, and it made him feel stuck and alone.<br/><br/>""I've shuffled most of the artillery into the highlands."" Hassan continued over the background whine of incandescent light. ""I will make do with a few light-pieces. The highlands are more valuable, and I would rather make them hurt there.""<br/><br/>""Couldn't you use it to stop them off the coast?"" Yaqob asked.<br/><br/>""Not likely."" Hassan replied. ""They have that navy of theirs ready to reply. If I throw everything we have at them in the beginning, we will lose the war in a month. They have the guns, and they have that VX. Concentrating our forces is the last thing we should be doing. They can afford casualties in the beginning, that is what their people will expect. If we are going to see the end of this war, it will be by sapping their will to fight. We need to force them to bleed for every hill. They need enter villages counting the ways they can be killed. They need to second guess every tree, and every rock, and every bend in the road. Their families back at home need to see long lists of dead sons, and wonder why they are fighting. If the war lasts long enough, they will decide it is more useful to see Sotelo as their enemy rather than us. After all, if they can't beat us, they can beat that bastard with an election."" Hassan smiled slyly. ""Or maybe they will kill him for us.""<br/><br/>For a moment, Yaqob felt as if victory was assured. It was a foolish feeling, and he quickly shook it.<br/><br/>""The Third will move out of Katanga to bolster the defenses on the border of Spain. We will keep the second, fifth, and eighth in place in Chad, Chari, and the Congo respectively. If they make no moves on the Ivory Coast... we will take it. Deprive them of some of that oil.""<br/><br/>""Why don't we do that now?"" Yaqob asked.<br/><br/>Hassan shrugged. ""I want to see what they are doing. It would be too easy to blunder there. Besides, the border legions are already conducting raids into Spanish territory. I know they crossed over in on place and dragged a Spanish accountant out of his office in some village and hung him up from a tree by his ankles.""<br/><br/>""That's not as violent as I expected..."" the border legions were the militia's that the Ethiopian government had armed. They were men weened on stories about the demon white men and the horrors they brought one hundred years ago, and they would have no love for the Spaniards. Yaqob expected them to be a wild card in the war. The raid was not too surprising.<br/><br/>""Not by ropes."" Hassan grinned. ""With hooks. Through the ankles. Man probably won't walk again.""<br/><br/>Hooks. Yaqob imagined the weight of the man would have turned his legs to gore. The horror of that thought caused his chest-scar to throb. This man was just the beginning, Yaqob knew.<br/><br/>Yaqob surveyed the map, committing to memory every detail that he could. It was hard, at first, to take his eyes of the border of the Ivory Coast where that grizzly raid had taken place. He wondered what speck coincided with that village. His eyes drifted to the Suez, where the first miserable battle had been fought. He looked over the Red Sea, red-ribboned poles filling its water all the way to the Mandeb where they had lost their second fight. He followed the borders of his Empire, until they rested on a detail that Hassan had forgot to mention.<br/><br/>""What about Tanganyika?""<br/><br/>Hassan looked down at the single blue-ribboned pole in the south of the map. ""I sent word we could use them. They haven't responded.""<br/><br/>That was worrisome. Tanganyika was an independent country, but Ethiopia had been critical to the success of the current regime. Yaqob wondered if they were stalling because they thought Ethiopia had already lost, or if it was because of the other threat.<br/><br/>The British invasion of South Africa was an unexpected kink in their plans. At first, it had caused some manner of panic within the government when it seemed that Britain might have allied with Spain. As reports continued to flood in, it slowly became apparent that the British were acting of their own accord.<br/><br/>In some ways, their invasion was more a hindrance to Sotelo than it was for Yaqob. There was no love lost between the Pan-African Ethiopians and South Africa's own experiment in regional hegemony. On the other hand, Sotelo's argument to the world that he was doing no more than curtailing the growth of communism became much less believable when Britain decided to take South Africa. Suddenly it wasn't a single war between neighbors, it was a second European scramble for Africa, and Sotelo was no more that a modern day colonial Imperialist.<br/><br/>""Taytu will be in Dar es Salaam"" Yaqob assured. ""We'll know their intentions soon."" There was little else to say.<br/><br/>When the meeting came to a close, Akanni caught up with the Emperor. Yaqob felt a twinge of nostalgia when he saw the Prime Minister's eyes. Akanni had been his fathers Ambassador to China, and when Sahle cut off ties with the Chinese while he was Emperor it had turned Akanni into Yaqob's only companion in exile. That had only been six years ago, but life had stiffled their friendship.<br/><br/>""Your majesty."" Akanni said. ""There is a man I would like you to meet. A writer who told me he knows how to win this war.""<br/><br/>Yaqob blinked. ""A writer? I don't think writers win wars.""<br/><br/>""Ahh!"" Akanni grinned. ""Writers win wars all the time. They write their wars, and then they write their victories. I think more writers have won more wars than generals."" Yaqob smiled. That was the wit he knew his old friend for.<br/><br/>""My writer friend was an officer once, too. I know he has seen wars."" Akanni continued.<br/><br/>""Do I know this man?"" Yaqob asked<br/><br/>""You might"" Akanni replied ""His name is Zenon Bie Bwana. He is...""<br/><br/>""A Pan-Africanist."" Yaqob interrupted. ""I read one of his books when we lived in China. He argued that the ancient Berbers were the ancestors of the Mande, and the modern Berbers are just Arabs."" Pan-African literature was rife with writers claiming that the classical ancient civilizations had roots in black Africa, though their arguments were always based on suspicious suppositions and hackneyed ethnography. Yaqob was no anthropologist, but he took these theories with a grain of salt.<br/><br/>""He wrote a biography of Hannibal Barca, and he invited me to read it before it is published"" Akanni said. ""He was telling me that he learned a lot in his research that you might be able to use.""<br/><br/>Yaqob thought that he sounded like a crackpot, but he needed the distraction. ""I'll invite him to dinner."" Yaqob said. ""We need all the help we can get, anyway.""</div>"

Not from cold - Batumi was quite a warm area of Georgia, after all - but from anticipation. The rifle in his hands felt heavier than usual and his clothes (a standard Guard uniform made up of mix-matched old uni) felt thread-bear. The jeep was turned off behind him yet the lights atop it were left on. His shadow was stretched down the long, dark street and within seconds, it was joined by several more. Sabuari, who was out of the jeep for the first time since Mamuka had met him, could finally be seen in his full glory.<br/><br/>While sitting in the front seat of a jeep, he was a large man but an even larger man standing at full height. He had broad shoulders and a rather muscly abdomen. His legs were long and built like tree trunks. His face was covered in a very Russian, shaggy, black beard and moustache while his head was shaved close to the scalp. In some ways, he reminded Mamuka of Milidani, one of his colleagues, except Sabuari was much younger and larger. He wore a heavier version of the Guard uniform, with shining boots and a thick fur coat that looked much too warm for a summer night. His men were dressed identically except they wore helmets or hats of some kind - Sabuari's shaved head was bare. On each hip hung a holster holding some kind of pistol of Persian origin and a large hunting rifle hung around his shoulders. <br/><br/>Compared to Mamuka's youthful and lanky body, Sabuari was a god. His men easily had more experience in a single finger than all of Mamukas put together. These boys were the best of the Guard, recruited from the harsh rural towns around the Adzhara Republic. The large Caucasian shepherd, who Sabuari affectionately called ""Tsarina"", had padded its way to some nearby grass and sniffed at a pile of fox shit suspiciously. <br/><br/>Mamukas men wearily rallied behind, awaiting orders and unsure. They were a rag-tag bunch from the Batumi side of the Guard - men of all ages and skills, from young green eared boys to older, world wary ex-soldiers. They wore no constant uniform as Sabuari's guerrillas wore and their weapons were mostly salvaged from stolen Turkish soldiers. Some were in a dire state of repair and compared to the shining efficiency of Sabuari's rifles, they were figurative shit.<br/><br/>Sabuari snorted as he looked at the small city divison rally around each other. ""Jesus, Davit told me you lads weren't much but I was expecting a bit more than this"" he sneered. Mamuka bit his tongue and did not answer. Sabuari motioned for all 11 men and Tsarina to gather around him in a rough semi circle as he went through the plan.<br/><br/>""Well, anyway, we've got a job to do. Around this corner, there's a small Turkish barracks, one of two in the city. It's mainly used for training new recruits to Polat's army and according to the report Davit sent me, Turks were seen bringing crates stamped with Sinop Weaponry, some shitty Ottoman company that makes guns. Even if the guns are shit, we need to arm the Guards more effectively and that's where we come in. We're going to get in there, make as much noise as possible and steal anything that's not nailed down. Once we have it, we'll take it to Freedom Square in the jeep and start arming the guards who are using slingshots or throwing rocks. If there's any left over, we'll give them to citizens. Remember - ammunition is important too. Also remember not to kill too many Turks in there - we're only hitting them quickly, not taking over the base and we don't want a war crime on our hands. Any questions?""<br/><br/>There was silence as each man looked at each other expectantly. ""Good"" said Sabuari happily, patting one nearby man on the back. ""Gelovani, you keep the jeep running. When you hear shooting, drive around and open all the doors. We might need to get out of here quickly"" ordered Sabuari. Gelovani just nodded from underneath his brown ushanka, murmured a confirmation and ran back to the jeep. <br/><br/>""Right, lads. Follow me and listen to Mamuka and I. And keep quiet"" his voice lowered and he motioned for the group to follow them. They formed a tight line and stuck to the shadows of a building as he approached the corner to the street that held the barracks. Sabuari glanced quickly around the corner, surveying his options. One side of the street held the barracks smack-dab in the middle. A chain-link fence separated it from the street and opposite it in the street, the buildings were boarded up. Up the street from Sabuari, a small group of soldiers were talking quickly around a jeep. They all climbed in and the jeep revved out of the street quickly. <br/><br/>The barracks themselves looked lightly defended. A few men with torches wandered around the edges of the fence and the gate itself looked more like a door with a small office beside it than anything. Sabuari signaled to his men and they all quickly followed. Mamuka copied what the man ahead of him did, unsure what these hand signals meant. They all spread out quickly around the street and walked directly towards the barrack gates. The guardsman, a Georgian, snorted in his sleep and woke with a start at the sound of approaching boots.<br/><br/>""Wha-Er, hey, who are you guys?"" he asked groggily, desperately reaching around him for a pistol. Sabuari looked unimpressed with a rifle in his hands as the guardsman finally found his pistol and pointed it at him through the small window. ""Well, we're here to liberate you, first of all. If you'd put that pistol away, that'd be great"" started Sabuari. The guardsman, now fully awake, didn't move  and instead licked his lips nervously. ""This is Republic of Adzhara property. Unauthorised access from...erm....armed groups other than the army of the Republic of Adzhara is strictly prohibited and will be dealt with in a serious manner"" said the guardsman, his voice cracking as he read off a card above the window. Sabuari snorted and pointed his rifle at the guardsman. His troops followed suit. <br/><br/>""Put the gun down, boy and let us in. We don't want to kill Georgians tonight"" said Sabuari, his voice taking a patronising tone. The guardsman stared down the barrels of 10 rifles held by his enemies and suddenly decided the gate wasn't worth his life, so he placed the gun firmly on the table and sat back into his chair, defeated. ""Stay down, son"" grinned Sabuari, picking up the pistol and emptying it of all bullets.<br/><br/>The guardsman hung his head in shame, somewhat glad that he'd not needlessly died. Others, however, weren't as lucky.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Beria Street, outside of Freedom Square</span><br/><br/>The dead and wounded lay on the streets, full of Turkish bullets. Many had fought to make their way off the streets and into the sides of buildings, where they now lay covering their heads in fear. Among the dead and wounded were several Guards, who's corpses lay in a pile just metres from the Turkish line. They had given their lives to protect citizens who had stood behind them and they hadn't died in vain.<br/><br/>The Turkish rifles rattled on for a few moments longer after a majority of people had left the street but soon silenced. Every now and then, a Turkish marksman from the tower far above would pick out a target and splatter their head across the street. Davit stared out at the dead men from behind an overturned dumpster and silently cursed the Turkish. His men were confused, scattered after that. They needed to be organised before they left in fear. <br/><br/>He hadn't anticipated in this many dying so soon.<br/></div>"

Scenic Madison with its lakes and beautiful trees was a long way from Harlan, Kentucky. In Harlan they had trees, but they were sparse due to the strip mining. The once rolling hills were flattened, every ounce of anthracite sucked dry from them. Clay’s dad, granddad, and great-granddad had all been coal miners. They worked twelve and sixteen hour days down in those cramped mine shafts, doing whatever it took to get that four hundred foot quota of coal. His great-granddad died in a mine collapse, his granddad got the black lung and died of it at the ripe old age of forty-five after almost thirty years in the mines. Clay was four at the time and he couldn’t remember what his granddad looked like, but he would never forget that wheezing cough that filled the house, the way he always sounded like each breath was going to be his last. Clay was fourteen when his dad died. One errant spark in the shaft caused an explosion that killed Roger Foulke and twenty-four other miners. Standing in the chapel with his mom and four sisters, looking at their father’s closed casket because his body was too torn up to leave it open, Clay made a vow that he would never dig coal. He also decided then and there to help people like his family and the miners in Harlan. People who had no options, people who were forced to dig coal.<br/><br/>He’d gotten out of Harlan by working four different part-time jobs through the week, helping take care of his sister's, and attending school at night. He got his law degree at UK and went straight into politics. He was twenty-five when he won a seat in the Kentucky House of Representatives. Ten years in state politics, followed by another sixteen as a US congressman for Kentucky’s 5th district and now he was Speaker of the House. Second in line for the presidency behind his mentor, Russell Reed, and a strong Speaker committed to using the powers of the gavel to get progressive legislation through the House. After eight terms he had yet to suffer from incumbent creep like a lot of long-serving politicians. He knew he was there for the people in his district and, as Speaker, every American across the country. He caucused with the Socialist during his earlier days in congress before he saw the way the wind was blowing and defected to the Democrats. He kept his strongly liberal bent when it came to  politics, though. That was why he found himself here in Madison today. With no pressing bills in committee or on the floor, congress had recessed for a one-week summer vacation and he was taking advantage of it to do a little backroom politicking.<br/><br/>Jennifer Armstrong drove the car. Jen was Clay’s majority whip and acted as his enforcer in Congress. She looked like an average housewife, late 30’s with strawberry blonde hair kept in an updo. A gentle smile was always on her face and she spoke with a slight Midwestern accent that came from spending her entire life in Iowa. It was alarming to most people how quickly that charm faded when she got mad or wanted to intimidate. The housewife became a pitbull and once she got her teeth into something, not even Clay could get her to let go. Like Clay she had a modest upbringing, but unlike him she was still part of the Socialist caucus. Appointing her as whip was part of the compromise coalition to get the gavel. Clay the slightly left of center Democrat as speaker, Hayes a conservative southerner as majority leader, and Jen the Socialist as whip appeased all major factions inside the House Democratic caucus. All part of the give and take nature of politics.<br/><br/>“I’m nervous,” Jen said as she pulled into the long, dirt driveway leading up to a ranch-style home with a large yard. <br/><br/>“Why? You’ve met him before, right?”<br/><br/>“Of course, but that was always as part of some delegation or as part of the leadership, never one on one with him like this. I’ve never had an actual conversation with him.”<br/><br/>“Bring up the Packers,” Clay said with a grin. “He likes the Packers.”<br/><br/>The home was five miles outside of Madison on Lake Mendota. They were subtle, but Clay saw the waiting Secret Service agent in the driveway. He gave them the go ahead once he checked to see that they were who they said they were, that they were expected and that they carried no weapons.<br/><br/>“He’s in the back with his grandkids,” said the agent. “You can get out and walk around, I'll park your car.”<br/><br/>The agent took over the rental car and drove it up the road while Clay and Jen rounded the corner of the modest home. Two young children flew by, laughing and giggling while they played. Another Secret Service agent stood by a tree and watched while Eric Fernandez, the thirty-sixth president of the United States, sat in a lounge chair overlooking the lake and smoking a cigar.<br/><br/>To Clay, Fernandez looked wholly unnatural in his lakeside clothing. He’d never seen the president in anything other than a conservative suit and tie and maybe a collared shirt with khakis. Now he wore a garish Hawaiian shirt with pineapples printed on it. He had on swim trunks and flip-flops with a large pair of aviator sunglasses on his face.<br/><br/>“Clay,” said Fernandez, rising to shake his hand. Ever the charmer, he kissed Jen’s hand and smiled at her. “Mrs. Armstrong.”<br/><br/>“Mr. President,” Clay said before Fernandez waved his cigar at him. <br/><br/>“It’s Eric now. Cut the president crap out and I won’t call you Mr. Speaker and Madam Whip. Follow me, you two.”<br/><br/>Fernandez led them to the patio deck at the rear of the house beside the lake. A picnic table sat in the middle of the deck. On top sat a pitcher of tea and three glasses.<br/><br/>“I made sure they put sugar in it, Clay. I know how you southerners like your sweet tea.”<br/><br/>“When did you take up smoking, sir?” Jen asked as they sat down at the table.<br/><br/>“What did I say about the formalities,” he said with a scowl. “And I used to smoke like a chimney when I was younger. I easily smoked forty cigarettes a day; my fingers were stained yellow with nicotine. In ’61, I collapsed in my office at the Senate building and almost died from a massive heart attack. The doctors told me to stop smoking then and there and I quit cold turkey. For almost twenty years I didn’t touch a cigarette. I picked it back up after I left the White House, just a single cigar every few days. Mavis gets on to me for it, but I like smoking. I'm retired now, nothing to worry about staying alive for and, besides you gotta die of something, right?”<br/><br/>“I had a grandfather die of black lung,” Clay said quietly. “I can think of plenty of better ways to die than that.” <br/><br/>Fernandez shrugged and puffed on his cigar. The three of them spent a half hour making small talk, they talked about their families and the two congress members gave Fernandez the latest Capitol Hill gossip that he was out of the loop on.<br/><br/>“They’re working on my library over at UW-Madison,” Fernandez said, flicking cigar ashes off the deck. “I lobbied with Governor Reese to have it in Green Bay, but they said it was too small. It should be completed sometime next summer.”<br/><br/>“You don’t sound excited,” said Jen.<br/><br/>“It’s because I don’t like it. It’s a creepy shrine to me; it makes me uncomfortable as hell to have people honoring me like I’m some dead Egyptian pharaoh.”<br/><br/>Fernandez took a long drag off his cigar and exhaled smoke, cutting his eyes at the two legislators as their conversation lapsed into silence.<br/><br/>“So when are you two going to stop beating around the bush and get to what you came here for.”<br/><br/>Clay and Jen exchanged looks before Clay leaned forward in his chair to meet the ex-president’s gaze.<br/><br/>“We know it’s early days, and there’s plenty of time between now and then, but we want you out on the stump in ’82, campaigning.”<br/><br/>Fernandez bit down on his cigar, showing his teeth to Clay and Jen while he spoke.<br/><br/>“Why the hell would I want to do that?”<br/><br/>“Because the socialist party is becoming irrelevant,” said Jen. “Norman’s moving the country away from all the hard work you did, Mr. President. We had something great and unique in this country and its going away. There are maybe less than one hundred congressmen who even partially align with the socialist party.”<br/><br/>“The vice president is a former socialist,” said Fernandez, before he pointed a finger at Clay. “And so are you.”<br/><br/>“Russell Reed’s a political animal,” said Clay. “He went with us when were on top, but now he’s nowhere to be found. He’d wear high heels and a dress if it got him elected.”<br/><br/>“Funny, but the man knows where the people are going,” said Fernandez. “Norman beat my own goddamn vice president in a landslide. They wanted a change.”<br/><br/>“He’s a war hero,” Jen argued. “He could have run Republican and still got the same outcome.”<br/><br/>”For God’s sake,” Fernandez said, flicking ashes. “The man isn’t that far from a socialist. He just nationalized New England Weapons and he’s advocating civil rights in the South, something I could never get passed through congress thanks to your mentor in the Senate, Clay.  He’s a democrat in name, but a socialist in spirit.”<br/><br/>“There’s also something beyond ’82,” Clay said quietly. “A strong showing by you on the stump could lead to something else.”<br/><br/>“A third term in ’84,” Jen said. “We’re a long way from ’84, but if Norman’s term doesn’t go well it could open the door to you.”<br/><br/>“You both need to clam down,” Fernandez said with a scowl. “You’re putting the cart way before the horse and asking me something I don’t want to do.”<br/><br/>“We just want you to think about it,” Clay said assuredly. “Norman got elected on his reputation from the war, but that won’t help if he has a weak record as president.”<br/><br/>“I’m thinking,” said Fernandez. “This sounds like 1912 all over again. A third party candidate splits the liberal and democratic vote and opens the door to the Republicans. I’d rather have Jaret Arnold in the White House than a Republican.”<br/><br/>“A weak sitting president could mean a Republican in the White House regardless, Mr. President,” said Jen. “Dixon is the likeliest candidate to come out for them. You’d cream him but he could give Norman a run for his money.”<br/><br/>Fernandez stared at his smoldering cigar while Clay and Jen waited for his response.  The former president stubbed the cigar out in the ashtray on the table before he stood up.<br/><br/>“I’ll think about it,"" he said gruffly before adding, ""and that's all I'll be doing. Come on in, my wife made steaks for dinner.”<br/><br/>Clay couldn’t help but smile when, as they followed Fernandez though his house, he heard him instruct the secret service at his side to throw all the cigars in the house out.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Vancouver </span><br/><br/>Inspector Mark Echols hobbled down the hallway as fast as his busted knee would let him move. He was on the fourth floor CTPF headquarters, struggling to keep up with his new partner. Special Agent Bryan Simpson, part of the Federal Crime Bureau’s special team sent to Vancouver, was working with Echols on the Brian Shea case. The two had managed a rough timeline of the dead sergeant’s whereabouts leading up to his murder.<br/><br/>“Come on, Echols,” Simpson chided. His ruddy face held a grin on it. “This scumbag isn’t going to catch himself.”<br/><br/>Back at Homicide, the big board was covered in evidence from the Shea case. What had started as just Brian Shea’s autopsy photo was now covered in paperwork, witness interviews, and Brian Shea’s Army service record.  Simpson and the feebs had muscle when it came to red tape. They were able to get the Army to unass its files on the murdered sergeant. Prior to his disappearance, the Shea was part of the 203rd Engineer Battalion working out of Fort Dixon. His company handled all explosive ordnance for the base. Following the EOD led them a path to potential criminal behavior. It wasn’t uncommon for people on the base to trade goods. And if someone like Shea could get his hands on explosives then it wouldn’t be too much a stretch to tie him to—<br/><br/>“Reg Boland,” said Echols.<br/><br/>The mugshot of the surly man with shaggy brown hair was tacked up in the middle of the board alongside his rap sheet.<br/><br/>“Former Major in the NWC armed forces turned weapons smuggler.”<br/><br/>“I’ve got the FCB’s quick response team downstairs,” said Simpson. “They’re suiting up and getting ready for the raid.”<br/><br/>“Good,” Echols said with a creeping smile. “Let’s nail this son of a bitch.”<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Burnaby<br/>Cascadia Territory</span><br/><br/>Reg Boland shuffled his feet as he walked down the side street. While he walked calmly enough, he kept jerking his head around every so often to check to see if he was being followed. What he didn’t know was that he was in fact being followed at this very moment. He had five tails on him total, three front tails that rotated every mile and then two back tails that gave Boland a very long lease. One of the men watching from afar was Silas Crystal. He and Corporal Allen were the back team while Burress and Green were one front team. The two CIA men were the second front team, trailing in nondescript vans. They would follow before one of the CIA vans picked them up for a change of clothes and disguise before they were dropped back out to continue following the suspected arms dealer.<br/><br/>Six hours into their tail and Boland had taken them through Vancouver and out east where he met some shady people. The CIA intelligence was solid that Boland had to be the one supplying the Friends of Northwest Soverigenty with their weapons. Part of the annexation of the NWC was stricter gun control laws, at least until the territory could be brought into the fold as an official state. The type of firepower they were using had to come from someone like Boland.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">“Eddie to the Cruisers,”</span> their CIA handler Smith said over the radio, the agent’s voice coming through on the earwig wedged in Silas’ right ear. <span class=""bb-i"">“We’re pulling the stakes on this one, Cruisers 1 and 2, move in and subdue the target.”</span><br/><br/>Silas ducked into an alley and pulled his radio from his jacket.<br/><br/>“Cruiser 1 to Eddie, what’s the problem?”<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">“I got some intel just now.

The skittish man spooked when he saw Silas running towards him and took off.<br/><br/>“He’s going rabbit,” Silas said into his radio. “Move in now!”</div>"

The overbearing gray and the ruin of conflict was laid over with bolts of victorious red. Fiery streamers hung haphazardly off the face of the buildings and decorated the streets with a strong revolutionary light. It was nothing planned over weeks or months, had was clearly thrown up in hours. The chaos and peculiarity of the decoration was random and order less. And on closer inspection much of the banners and flags were re-purposed. Hanging from broken windows on wires or cables flew bed sheets and curtains. Anything that happened to be deep fiery red or bloody maroon waved in the warm breeze alongside war-shredded, battle torn flags.<br/><br/>The knotted and twisting rags hung draped across the streets as they passed through.<br/><br/>“Fuck them all, did those Siberian fucks really have so little to do?” Hala Khan groaned from the front seat.<br/><br/>The armored transport had no side windows to speak of. Tsung's only window to the outside was the windshield. And in that he could only make out so little. There was celebration by appearance, though he couldn't tell for sure. Civilian? Soldier? He craned his neck to peer past the soldiers with him. He tried to shut out the injured man at his feet.<br/><br/>“Hala Khan this is communications.” the radio sparked, “We have the location of the officer you requests.”<br/><br/>Khan lifted the receiver up to his lips. “Copy that.” he replied, “Where is he?”<br/><br/>“Sun Song. He just arrived at Dormition Cathedral.” buzzed the radio, “On a crew of two others in his tank and down one in his squadron.”<br/><br/>“Got it.” Hala Khan nodded. He turned back in his chair, lowering the talk box to his lap. “This man is your commander?” he asked in a low voice.<br/><br/>“Y-yes. I'm his driver...” nodded Tsung nervously. His head fluttered and danced. They had gotten out.<br/><br/>“We got his driver, did he make a missing report?”<br/><br/>“He did. For a Li Tsung. Driver.” the radio droned, pausing briefly, “We'll write him off the list then.”<br/><br/>“Thank you. Hala Khan out.”<br/><br/>Tsung breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was fine, for the most part he hoped. His head was inundated with relief. He lay back against the rattling walls of the armored carrier as they drove through the streets. Even the knocking of his skull against the cold hard steel disturbed that flow of tensity and fear. If having to feel concern on whether or not he'll end up in a worse place than Russia.<br/><br/>“Dormition Cathedral happens to be where we're going too.” Hala said in a droning voice, “Non essential forward units were asked to report to the city center to receive commander Huei Wen.<br/><br/>“And we're almost there.”<br/><br/>Tsun could feel a smile cross his face. There was an odd comfort in knowing they were alive still. He yet knew little about them. But in the face of conflict he felt as if they were more important to him than any other individual. It was a eerie sensation. Made all the more nauseating at the blood at his feet.<br/><br/>He grimaced, thinking about it. Did the soldier here feel the same about his men? He had been told many did, it was a given. But was laying on the floor in his own blood a respect? Or a necessity he understood in some fashion? In the end, there was things he didn't know.<br/><br/>He felt the transport shake as they drove over a road bump. The injured soldier cried out in pain. Someone mumbled down to him as they went. “Fucking road bumps, they had to shell here so hard?” Hala Khan complained.<br/><br/>“It was this bad when we came through.” Tsun said quietly.<br/><br/>“Well lucky you.” Hala Khan replied groaning, “The sooner we move out the better.<br/><br/>“And the church's square is up ahead. I can see where they're paraded all us lucky fucks.” he gestured to the growing mass of soldiers. Black arm-banded military police stood along the roads, gesturing men in, checking the vehicles.<br/><br/>“I think you can walk from here.” Khan said in a low voice, “It'll be a while for us, comrade. Go ahead, get out.” he grunted. His men by the door obliged by silent instinct to open the rear hatch. Carefully, Tsun scrambled out into the dusty gray light of a city conquered.<br/><br/>His boots hit the ground and the door shut fast. Clamping shut before driving away leaving him with no ceremony. For Hala Khan, he left that to the rally before he and Tsun. The disconnected carnival atmosphere of Chinese self-salute fumed into the air about him. Detached from reality, it seemed almost foreign. Just hours ago Tsun had been shelled by a distant enemy. Hours ago he felt he was the only one left in a gray abysmal city alone. But now he was among a sea of ceremonious red and crimson, at the edge of a great sea orbiting about a Russian church.<br/><br/>Its opulent copulas stood in defiance to the violence, still glimmering in the dim over cast sun despite the debris settled on it. The bright blue highlights and clustered towers a decadent swatch of color in their own right. Roaming around its edge men armed with cameras and microphones hastened about, whipping chords and cables frantically. If something was going to happen, it was soon.<br/><br/>And again Tsun felt as lost here as he did when he first arrived to this army. Men of mixed station sat atop the ruin and abandonment of Omsk smoking cigarettes, idly wasting the time. Riflemen, engineers, medium and light infantry. They gave the lost tanker no heed as he wound through the woven crowds. But it all didn't seem as full as it could be. As if those present were plucked at random to simply be here. Were all these men nonessential?<br/><br/>It didn't take him long to locate the tanks. An orbit of the church to its front side wrong him around to a line of tanks stopped in a ceremonial salute to the stage, spaced far enough apart for the crowd to mill into the center of their aim. Tsun's hopes rocketed upwards being so close. He darted between the crews, many taking advantage of their station early and sitting bored atop the turrets. Suited and coated commanding officers and sweaty gunners alike stood in the open air waiting.<br/><br/>“That lucky son of a bitch! He's not dead!” he heard a woman below allowed. Tsun froze, his guts choking up into his throat. “Song, Tsun caught up!” Tse Lin called out, laughing.<br/><br/>“I know.” Song crooned. Tsun turned about to his comrades. He felt a warm smile again come to his face. Sat up mid-way down the row was the tank he was supposed to be driving. Battered, dented, and chipped. By all the same in one place. Long streaks of char ran along its carapace. And large chunks of olive paint had peeled away from the angular shell, leaving behind an exposed warped steel.<br/><br/>“Comrade, come on up here. I think the show's about to start.” Song demanded. He sat on the edge of the turret hatch. Lin further up along the raised barrel as the bald Hui lay himself down on the back. If perhaps eager, Tsun joined them.<br/><br/>“The lucky bastard comes home.” Hui mumbled as the driver climbed aboard, “I didn't think I'd know it.” He sat up and turned towards him, dark rings sagged under his eyes. He hadn't been sleeping well, and getting out of the fire no doubt made it worse, “Not many can get away from being shelled and live to tell about it.” he grunted.<br/><br/>“I can tell.” Tsun said. Thinking about it made him sore. His arm heart, his shoulder heart. His entire side felt bruised and torn. But he was alive with only a scabbing cut on his forehead.<br/><br/>“I've seen people get peeled apart.” he added dryly before laying back down. The comment dampened Tsung's mood and he felt a cold chill wash down his spine and his stomach churn.<br/><br/>“We know he's staying anyways.” Song added in a definite tone of voice, “It'll only get better from here.” he added, as on stage stepped the general.<br/><br/>Tsung looked up from his mud-caked boots when the microphone whined, heralding the assumption of commander Wen.<br/><br/>“Brothers in arms!” he started, holding out his arms. Wen was a wide man, in no part made easier than the coat that hung off his shoulders. And even at the distance between Tsung and he his age was visible to the driver, “Here on this day I have the privilege and duty to declare the first major victory against our reactionary enemies of the revolution. The first step to a great mission we as a people have embarked upon ten years ago, knowing many of us here did not participate in that early spring. But indeed, a fresh rotation and a fresh command has seen to things furthering beyond what our predecessor sought to achieve!”<br/><br/>On the stage, Wen acted like a politician. Despite his visible age he moved and gestured energetically. Drumming on energy to build his decleration. “And today we have shown our Russian enemies that we are not sheep!” he boomed, “Today we have shown them we are dragons! Strong and fierce, we bring the winds of change. We bring a glorious fire of freedom and magnificent liberation! And we have sent the message here at Omsk that no failed regime shall last, that we will push ahead and bring unity as they have failed. That their status in this world is that of isolation. That there is no other in the world who will come to their aid as the full strength of our people come upon them.<br/><br/>“And comrades, I ask of you: do you know why we succeed where they fail? Why we won today?<br/><br/>“It is not that our enemy is a fool, grasping on a dying order. But it is that we are an army of a hundred banners! There is no greater essence of unity here among us brothers in all of Russia! We have purpose, our enemy has only dire greed to hold onto. We are a million tribes, a thousand villages, a hundred cities, and a dozen nations. And they are none.<br/><br/>“Han, Mongolian, Manchu, Hui, Uyghur, and Russian. United in  the common bounds of human brotherliness against an enemy who hopes to be just that. We are the great many faces of the new world. And they are the single dying gray of the old! They bear the sins of the past era while we cast it off. By fire, sweat, blood, and duty.<br/><br/>“Not only to prove to the world China's rightness, but for the honor of our own allies. For their fight is our own. We fight for a people who have a better claim to this state that has died.<br/><br/>“The Republic has no claim to a nation that does not exist. This is our reason. Our goodness is we do a charity. Their sin is they continue to bleed it dry. We bring the salvation of unity and stability. They failed, they broke and left their country to mob rule.<br/><br/>“And so we start, so we will go, so we will come. An army of banners. Of many colors, of many faces, and of many guns. And we shall put down the hammer!”<br/><br/>“I sure hope he doesn't do this again.” Lin cringed.<br/><br/>“I'm sure it's just a show for the press staff.” Song nodded.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Perm, Russia</span><br/><br/>“I feel fine.” Jun protested loudly, still laid out on the table. He impatiently rapped his fingers on the wooden surface. The aforementioned doctor brought up earlier in the day standing over him. He was tall, strongly built. Some might call him handsome if it weren't for the tired bags under his eyes and the thin beard growth over his broad chin. He stared down at the agent with an empty contempt in his pale blue eyes.<br/><br/>“That's what scares me.” he said, putting his hands on the table, leaning his weight on them. Behind him several students loitered by the door. Their eyes wide and expressions pale and ghostly, “Obviously you're not feeling any discomfort from your injuries, not in any serious degree. I'm afraid if I do let you out you'll break something worse from moving. I really insist that you stay still for as long as possible. We'll even find a proper be-”<br/><br/>“I don't fucking need to stay put.” Jun sneered. He lifted himself on an arm, “I've had worse.”<br/><br/>“No doubt you have.” the young man nodded dismissively, “But I'm not concerned about those, I'm concerned about the right now. And I can't in good conscious let you go on your current injuries.”<br/><br/>Jun thudded his head against the table surface, staring angrily up at the Russian leaning over him. “I do have some questions of my own.” asked the doctor, “For formality.”<br/><br/>“What are they?” Jun groaned.<br/><br/>“Well for a start, I could use a name.” asked the doctor to the tinging resentment of Jun. The sharp sneer on the agent's face must have bit him, for he stepped back nervously.<br/><br/>“I'm not at liberty.” Jun responded.<br/><br/>“Right, top-secret spy-radio show stuff.” he sighed, “I suppose I could always put you down on paperwork as Mr. Bastard.”<br/><br/>“What this all about then?”<br/><br/>“Formalities.” the doctor said dismissively, “Professional practice all in the all in the end. I probably may not see you again, but I could always pass it off on our own agent friend and he can figure out how to get it back to whoever the fuck the two of you take orders from.<br/><br/>“I'm just doing my part.”<br/><br/>“I'm afraid I still won't give it to you.” Jun sneered. It wasn't long that he was beginning to feel irritable with the plains clothes doctor before him. Even by asking his name, he was going too deep. And laying out in rags and bandages he felt far too naked than he wanted.<br/><br/>“Now, this severe pain insensitivity, are you receiving treatment at all?”<br/><br/>Jun turned his head the other way, facing the wall alongside him as he shifted across the table. He hesitated his response, considering if he should answer at not. Or if this man would persist in his inquiries until he broke. “I was.” he finally answered, “But I lost the medication for it.”<br/><br/>“How do you 'lose' that sort of thing?” interrogated the doctor, shocked and cynical.<br/><br/>“I'm not at liberty to say.”<br/><br/>“Well what are you at liberty to say?”<br/><br/>“I was prescribed Naloxone.” Jun said, “I didn't have much when I came out and I had been rationing it. But I ran out before I got to Perm.”<br/><br/>“Ran out, or lost?”<br/><br/>“They're both the same.”<br/><br/>The doctor impatiently muttered something under his breath, the Russian far too soft for Jun to make out; unlike the conversation they've been having, “We're going to have to keep you here. At least for a few weeks.” he said, “I'll bring it up with our agent we'll need to get you a proper mattress. I can't have you on that wooden table forever. Do you understand?”<br/><br/>Jun didn't answer.</div>"

In the sky, their pattern resembling that like an arrow head of cranes soaring through the sky. Their shining bodies aglow with the high African sun. “No ID on any hostile aircraft, over.” Song Yu said, “Are we sure they're out here?” he asked, voice cracking over the radios.<br/><br/>“This was the bearing they headed out at.” Han Wen said, “But keep a look out for something.<br/><br/>“On the water too, in case they went down.” he added, a lump choking up on his throat. Though nothing of sadness for the cargo plane and more of the distress of failure.<br/><br/>“I copy that comrade.”<br/><br/>All three kept on, sailing high over the waters as they searched for the Ethiopian airplane, and the unidentified hostile that was to pursue it. But above them was only open sky. And below clean waters, no sight of debris drifting among the waves. A ways off, visible as a brown stain in the deep blue of the ocean lay an island of sandy bronze.<br/><br/>“Comrade!” Chen Wu declared on the radio, his voice cracking as much as the static. “Potential target on our right! I see a glint.”<br/><br/>The sudden deceleration made Wen jump in his seat. His grip tightened on the joy stick controls, his heart thumped loudly in his chest as he turned his head. Against the waves there was something. A shining blinking dart rising up into the air. Below them, but headed towards them.<br/><br/>“Is that our plane to escort?” asked a tense Wu. His breathing was tense. The heavy sawing of his rattling exhales clear in the radio static. He sounded as tense as he was inside. Wen watched the distant boggy climb in altitude, keeping a steady pace.<br/><br/>“I don't think so.” he said with a faint breath, gently turning his plane around, the others following suit, “It's moving far too fast.”<br/><br/>He kept his attention on the mystery airplane. Watching as the light of the sun blinked off of it. Watching as it phased between a silver beacon and a dark shadow silhouetted against the distant sky.<br/><br/>He held his eyes on it in raptured awe as it leveled off at their own altitude, flying straight into them as they did to it. “Comrade?” the intercoms buzzed as the distance was closed. Perhaps it was a mistake, a miscalculation. He wondered at last minute if by chance this was a dream, if the Spanish were more than they were, or the Ethiopians.<br/><br/>The thought buzzed, like a constant thread against the sureness of their own capabilities being their own, and not on others. Its humming intensified as they drew closer. Then with a break it exploded all at once. In a flash bright yellow streaks swept the air about them and the radios exploded with cries for orders. Metal sheered and rippled as a line of gun fire swept the wings and body of Wen's jets. Bright sparks exploded off the wings of his partners as bullets ricocheted across the metal skins. With a high-pitched tear a long line was drawn through the cockpit glass.<br/><br/>“Break formation! Engage!” Wen cried as he dove violently downward, swerving into a plunge towards the ocean. His head slammed back against the backseat and he clenched his teeth as the blood drained backwards, his vision blurred just as he looked up at the course they were on. Time slowed for long enough he could see the underside of their competition. Confirming for once they were not alone with jets.<br/><br/>His heron rattled as the exhaust of the Spanish craft brushed against his own. The other two jets under his command had arched off to the side, making a wide sweep. Alarms blared in his cockpit.<br/>__________________________________________________<br/><br/>In twitching pulses, the needle on the ammunition counter dipped slightly downward as red-hot tracers streamed out from the Fantasma's nose guns. A metallic blur whipped across in front of the Spanish pilot, prompting him to pull down hard on the joystick in pursuit. The Spanish fighter jerked hard to the right as the plane banked. The gyroscope crosshairs fishtailed to and fro as the pilot brought the Fantasma about, falling in the general vicinity of the foreign jet fighter.<br/><br/>To his knowledge, there had never been a actual engagement between jet-propelled fighters until now. The Fantasma's pilot had never trained with this airplane with dogfighting in mind. The Spanish built the Fantasma to subjugate the skies - to trounce the slower and less-agile propeller-bound aerial forces of their neighbors and allow bomb-laden Gargolas to decimate enemy cities unmolested. Fantasmas were not built for an even fight. And he was outnumbered three to one.<br/><br/>A string of gunfire passed over his right shoulder and then swept down toward him like a long, diffuse whip. The Fantasma rattled as bullets embedded themselves somewhere in the fuselage behind the seat. He retaliated by firing a pulse of gunfire at the plane he had tried to hone his sights on. A second-long squeeze on the joystick trigger sent his retort off before he banked down toward the sea to shake the plane behind him.<br/><br/>These Chinese jets were more robust planes; their twin engine nacelles made them sturdier, and likely faster too. They probably carried more ammunition and fuel than a Fantasma. But already, it was apparent that the Chinese jets could not approach the Fantasma in terms of maneuverability. They were galleons to his frigate, there was an opportunity here yet to shame the Chinese and demonstrate western superiority. He cut back on the throttle and allowed the plane to bank down hard toward the ocean.<br/><br/>The plane pursuing the Fantasma banked down after the Spanish jet, surrendering his pursuit position and falling in the sky ahead of the Spanish fighter. The Chinese had taken the bait; he punched the throttle and spun about as fast as he could without loosing consciousness. The Spanish fighter leveled out with the Chinese jet right before him. The Chinese pilot, realizing what had happened, gunned the throttle to escape the closing Fantasma. Twin cones of flame shot out from behind the enemy craft, sending it rocketing away from the Spaniard's crosshair, but the Fantasma loosed a hellacious volley of tracerfire upon the jet before it escaped.<br/><br/>It was now the Spaniard's turn to be victimized. The third Chinese plane had since closed in and came upon the Fantasma. Tracers sped by and fell into the ocean before him, generating miniscule plumes of vaporized seawater in the distance. He reacted with an evasive bank, hoping to miss the arc of lead coming toward him. The plane jerked to the left, but Chinese lead connected with the Spanish plane regardless.<br/><br/>A sharp burst of pain accompanied the sound of metal clashing behind the pilot's ears. He flinched when fragments of a Chinese round found its mark on his right shoulderblade, screaming a raspy ""coño!"" as he squirmed from the pain. A brief glance behind his shoulder confirmed a a matting of blood on his fatigues, and tufts of disturbed upholstry from his backrest. But he did not seem to be bleeding profusely. It was a superficial wound. Even so, the pilot's fury had been stoked. The Chinese would pay tenfold for the blood they had spilled.<br/>__________________________________________________<br/><br/>Alarm buzzers screamed over the roar of the engines and the whistling of the wind. Cracks spider-webbed across the cockpit shield. The shield against the elements was broken, and with it had opened to madness gushing into the chamber with a wail and a buzz. Han Wen grabbed the throttle between tightly clutched fingers as he settled back into the air. Sharp pin pricks of pain dotted his face. He could feel the slow welling of blood across his cheeks as the wounds open by shards of glass began to bleed open. His goggles were frosted over in a dusting of scratches and glass shards. The wet, warm air that gusted in made things no better.<br/><br/>The first stage of the engagement had been fast. And no one could have estimated the speed of the Spanish fighter. Though they were faster, the Spaniard was nimbler. And he had scored hits. Wen knew that none of it would be fatal to him, but as he climbed he watched with horrified disbelief as the fuel gauge flapped and wailed back and forth maddeningly alongside the steadier climb of the altimeter. ""Shit, shit. Fuck."" he grumbled, his breath shaking. His head was a flurry of thoughts and a storm of excitement. He could hear his heart thrumming like a bass drum above the noise of the cockpit. It was as frightening as it was exhilarating. But the fuel gauge was rapidly dampening the mood.<br/><br/>Frantically he banged and flipped switches across the cockpit dashboard. Many of the buzzing alarms died off, but a low drawn constant remained. Red lights continued to blink and flash inside the dials. ""Come on, there's a reserve somewhere."" he sneered diving up and turning over. He watched as his fellow two fighters swept the sky in arcs, fighting to outflank the Spanish fighter. Golden bolts of light streaked the sky from where the tracers swept.<br/><br/>He gritted his teeth, grinding them in irritation. He'd been hit, and he was afraid he was leaking fuel. He spun the plane around and leveled it, flying towards the coast, ""Han Wen, as much as I hate to admit it I got to pull out."" he admitted, ""I got a hit to the fuel reserves. I'm leaking gas and I don't know how long I can stay air born. I'm pulling out. See you in Addis."" he promised.<br/><br/>""Did you tr-"" Yu screamed over the radios, the bellow of guns beckoned in the background.<br/><br/>""I already did."" Wen interrupted with a heavy tone, ""There's nothing I can do here. I got to get out. You two can do it. Drive him out of the skies!"" he demanded.<br/><br/>Song Yu nodded, glancing out over the waves as the Spaniard dipped away from his sights. The shinning dart of his CO's jet was trailing behind an unhealthy streak of smoke. ""I'll see you back at the nest."" he said.<br/><br/>""You and Wu know what to do."" the officer responded.<br/>__________________________________________________<br/><br/>A duo of Chinese jets traded turns launching barrages of burning lead at the Spanish fighter. The Fantasma bobbed and swerved in front of the pursuing Chinese, too busy making itself a difficult target for its attackers to realize that one of the three adversaries was now fleeing for the nearest patch of solid ground. The air around the craft quivered and trembled as a torrent of rounds tore past. Occasionally one would nick the wings, adding yet another bullethole ringed with fresh, exposed aluminum to the numerous pockmarks and craters marring the aircraft. In spite of the damage it had received, the Fantasma proved itself a nimble and savage fighter.<br/><br/>The Fantasma's master stole a glance at his pursuers before drawing back on the throttle and yanking the joystick down into his lap. The fighter's response was rapid, jerking the pilot against the seat and pressing in on the wet spot gradually forming on his back. The plane suddenly spun skyward, going into something resembling a controlled stall. The Chinese shot past with a pair of whistling roars, immediately banking onto their sides and turning about once they realized that the pursued had suddenly become the pursuer. The Fantasma dipped down out of its upward dive and gave chase to the closer of the communist bogies.<br/><br/>The enemy plane had turned about to face the Spaniard, throttling its twin engines to close and engage. The Fantasma rocketed ahead, speeding ahead and tearing through wispy contrails of exhaust left by the one of the planes. Like jousting knights in another century, the planes screamed across the sky to destroy one another. The glint of the sun reflecting on the Chinese cockpit guided the Spanish pilot on; the gyroscope sights settled squarely on the object dead ahead. No doubt, his counterpart was readying himself. To break too soon from this head-on course would allow the enemy plane to easily aim and fire upon the Fantasma. The Chinese pilot surely understood this as well. Seconds lingered on before the the moment to break. The Chinese jet drew rapidly closer, it's profile in the sights growing larger and larger.<br/><br/>His index finger constricted itself against the joystick trigger; the Fantasma pumped the air full of lead and fire. No sooner than he did, the muzzles on the Chinese jet flashed with fire. A stream of bullets flew head on into the Spanish jet, and the Chinese jet banked and barrel rolled away at the final second - only barely avoiding a collision.<br/><br/>The cockpit windshield erupted in a network of spiderwebbing cracks. A bullet embedded itself into headrest behind the pilot's head - missing his helmet by mere inches and releasing a puff of pulverized stuffing fiber. Another round smashed through the plexiglass, ushering in a violent torrent of humid air before crashing into the pilot's shoulder. A mist of airborne blood swirled through the turbulent cockpit air, spattering the instrumentation and the pilot's helmet in a fine spray of bright red fluid. Immediately, he could feel the warmth of his own blood pooling against his fatigue and dripping down onto his breast and armpit. This injury would be far more grave than the previous.<br/><br/>The pilot stole a glance to the air behind him. He could only see two of the enemy jets, and they were not coming around to engage. In a loose wing they were flying back to the South - presumably due to low fuel. It was intensely tempting for the Spaniard to turn around and chase them, shooting them from the sky now that they only had enough fuel to return home. But the Chinese aircraft were faster than his Fantasma - pursuing them would not pay off. And the wounds he had received needed immediate attention. As the pilot's adrenaline drained away, his attention turned to the seeping bullet wound on his left shoulder.<br/><br/>Without turning back to face the Chinese again, the Fantasma screamed northward toward its carrier in the Red Sea. There he would go to lick his wounds and report to his superiors of the engagement. For decades, the Spanish and the Chinese existed in a state of peaceful animosity, but today first blood had been drawn.<br/></div>"

A emperor in a palace of humans. His size had assured him that much respect, holding court over several other dozen felines. But now he had been removed from his Forbidden City. Taken far from his Mongolian home. His demesne had been cut to a smaller size, now no longer given the freedom to explore the sanctified halls of the Ullanbator research facility, where his master's fondness had kept him out of the hands of the humans that darted the halls.<br/><br/>When he had first arrived here, he had thought he had been forsaken by <span class=""bb-i"">his</span> human. He had been stolen off by a lackie who grumbled like he had a bone to pick with everyone and slouched. He afforded the Emperor no kindness or tribute. And quickly as he could was delegated out.<br/><br/>And now the stocky feline king of Ullanabator lay sprawled across a mattress of fluff in a large cage, tucked in the far corner of a cavernous room, hanging from a hundred hooks cables and an infinite number of mysterious human craft works dangled from the stone walls. The air was crisp and cool, comfortably dry. As opposed to outside where the stifling humid heat made the kingly cat to sweat under his thick gray coat of fur. He'd started to shed, but this had ended when he was given this new barony to rule. And he observed it from the tables and shelves, sprawled across the cold metal surfaces with his great stretched body, full fur laying flat against the polished steel, like rivers of soft silvery wool.<br/><br/>When things were more lively this mighty room teemed with humans. Humans who would let him out of his cage so he may wander. Though he chose instead to lay across the top of his vacation palace and to watch the puny humans busy themselves with the trivialities of their pursuits. But there was entertainment to him, a dance of motion and the wild music of their work entertained his laziness well. And sometimes they might wander over; feed him a treat of roast duck and scratch him behind the ears and where he couldn't hit that itch. They were almost a substitute to his old handler. Almost.<br/><br/>Today the attention had been delayed. Today only early in the morning had he been let out to wander under the watchful gaze of a man in a green uniform. He'd been fed and watered once, so now his stomach rumbled. He was hungry, but not starving; merely mildly discomforted at the emptiness in his large belly. He had pissed and shit the rest out in a box in the corner, and things were becoming incredibly sub-standard.<br/><br/>There was on top of it a great silence that had befallen the room since the man in green left him alone. No one else showed up. No work noises were made. And no specters sang. Everything hung in a dim boring silence. A dull flat spread over a so far terrible afternoon.<br/><br/>But he couldn't do anything. So with a soft sneeze he swept his tail across the mattress. Tucking in his legs for added comfort as he half shut his eyes. Opting to sleep through the dullness. Such things had happened before, and the people usually came back.<br/><br/>The time wallowed through with bitter laziness. No one second feeling any different than the other. And the good Emperor laxing through rest and wakefulness. Each time nothing feeling any more different than it was before. The monotony was beginning to feel eternal until doors opened.<br/><br/>The rasping groan of the heavy doors opening on the far side of the door was enough to put his highness on high alert as his ears shot up. His fat face turning to the origin of the disturbance. Sniffing the air, there was something. Sweat, deodorant. People.<br/><br/>“I'll grab the fat fuck and hold him, you just slip the suit on.” a human voice said, drowning in self-pity and self-loathing. He imagined all humans hated themselves in some way. None were as grand as he, with a life as rich and well fed.<br/><br/>“I'm sure we went over it enough.” said another. From around the corner of some machinery walked two men in green. In one's hand a familiar fold of the stretching, pinching skin they like to fold he and his kin up in. The other walked with a cage. Neither looked respectful of his majesty.<br/><br/>Head craned up all the way, his ears perked to the full manner. He watched with a wide expression as a nervous unease slithered through him. A harsh tempest of anxiety welling deep side. His tail drummed and beat his bed as he half rose to a sitting position. With a rattling snap the large cage's door was opened, and gloved hands were reaching in for him.<br/><br/>Fighting was useless in the end. Yowling in considerable personal discomfort he was pulled out from his bed, hanging limp in the vice-like grip of the human handlers he was swept up into the air to fly to towering heights by his grip. “Yeeeaaauouuuuuuu.” the Emperor moaned bitterly as he hung in mid air.<br/><br/>He struggled and kicked at the handler's hands. The anxiety reaching a full horrified shame as he was handled and forced deep into the pinch suit. He felt his fur hitch and ride up against him as the tight fit collapsed about his legs and torso. A stormy flurry of whipping slaps did nothing when ultimately he was stuffed and closed in.<br/><br/>He felt his nerves tighten in discomfort over the suit. He stood stocky like a statue as one of them placed him on the table as they turned to worked his carrier. He cared not to move. The suit feeling as if it glued his joints. He could only yowl in embarrassed defeat, watching the two open the crate door with widened eyes. And with masterful brutality by the two, he was gently placed in the carrier, the gate closing behind with a soft tick.<br/><br/>He felt the world swing back and forth and around as he was carried off. Yowling and mewing anxiously as he was carried off. And as he went it dawned on him why he had not eaten, nor had he drank since this morning: for his bowls loosened but he felt nothing fit to release.<br/><br/>He dared to move in the envelope he was in. Turning his head to the side to watch the world pass by stiffly. He could move easily, but the tight embrace of the suit was none the less poor; only his fail and face seemed to be absolutely free.<br/><br/>Outside past the metal grid of the crate window the gray of the human world swept by. Pipes, cables, concrete. A few odd colors, but a sustained monotony ruled. Quickly he found himself missing the cavern he had called home for the past several months. It had a comfortable regularity. This was unnatural, this was terrifying. And suddenly it was gone.<br/><br/>His world filled with a bright blinding light that burned itself on his eyes. And slowly fading he realized he was outside. For all the sun-drenched rocks and the bitter, salty, moist air of the new outside world. He was beginning to sweat and quickly. If it could get any worse, it was. He yowled loudly, protesting the situation. He demanded his privileges. He did not want this. He did not want to go anywhere. And he did not want to go up.<br/><br/>Metal grating and steel mesh descended beyond the safety of the carrier box. The distant stone walls of wherever he was likewise. Cut outs and windows passed, all darkened and reflective in the afternoon. Faintly in the distant glare he could make out the mirror reflection of something great and tall. A great unknown. It terrified him. It terrified him more than his situation could have terrified him.<br/><br/>“Got him?” a human asked bluntly.<br/><br/>“No shit.” someone responded. The crate was handed over, sweeping swiftly through space and turning. He staggered against the side of the crate. Mewling in response. He heard the door behind him open and soft hands grabbed hold of his frozen torso and he was pulled out into the light.<br/><br/>Turning about he saw briefly the peak of the monolith he now flew alongside. Red and pointed, it jousted upwards with a defiant brilliance. Like a tail of steel.<br/><br/>And then there was a man's face. Several, looking at him. He recognized one as the tired and bedraggled person who had brought him here and tried minding him for a time. He had disappeared, only to come back and somehow the king believed it wasn't coincidence. It was clearly an omen of something impending.<br/><br/>“Everything look good?” asked the other man. A wider, friendlier sort of person. He recognized him from his minor barony, one of the balding types in a white coat. Which to no avail he retained.<br/><br/>“Yes, it does. Now get him in and let's go get ready.” the other said, in the typical sharp spit of an angry sort.<br/><br/>“Alright.” side the other, turning his majesty about. A green suited human leaned over to the side of the monolith, grabbing hold of a lever and opened a door. Making an opening to a dark cavern inside. Protesting, he screamed as he was put in, kicking and flailing best he could in his current situation.<br/><br/>But as he was strapped in he realized: he was probably too lazy. And then the hatch sealed, shutting out the world. Enclosing him in absolute darkness, save for a silver dime of a window before him. He was strapped down into some sort of cushion. Looking up at some sort of hole into the bright blue above. His breathing quickened. The unknown seizing fast. He pulled and fought against the straps, to no avail.<br/><br/>And again, time passed. And as warm as the new prison was, it was at least dry.<br/><br/>In the dim silence of the darkened chamber he only had his heart to listen to. Rapidly it tapped against his ear drums. Counting the micro-seconds as the feline royalty starred wide-eye through the port hole before him. The silver light that came through was the only calm normality. The brilliant sun the only bulb. It didn't calm him all, but it eased the edges. Softening the initial panic, settling him into the mentality this was just the tests the lesser cats went through. And the fear leaked away. Enough so that he could think again about his stomach.<br/><br/>He still had not eaten, and that bothered him. He mewled defensively as something shifted under him from under the cushions. He mewled in discomfort at his shifting empty stomach. And again he mewled in distress as the world around him rumbled and rattled.<br/><br/>A great tempest threw itself against the outer shell of the tower he sat in. A fierce vibration exploded up and a deafening roar welled from underneath, turning and transforming into a gradual scream. And then a roar of violent triumph. The roar turned into a thunder, and finally into an explosion and his head fell back against the back of the cushion. Pressing more and more into the soft embrace as everything moves. Not forwards, but up.<br/><br/>Everything seemed to drain away in an instant. He screamed in horror, but his primal roars were drowned out by the godly rocketing of the engine under him. His blood rushed back into his head, his sight faded away. Black halos grew in from the edges of his vision. The violent rumbling was quick to evolve into a ferocious earth-rattling shake. Every bone in his body felt as if it were to break as he was tossed side to side against the embrace of the straps against his chest and stomach. His legs stood out before him, being pulled back by the immense forces slamming into the cat.<br/><br/>The thunderous roar burned and burned, shreaked and shreaked. In hazy vision he watched the sky thin and the air darken through the porthole window. A glowing silvery glow exploded around the edge, like a halo. An aura of ambient silver light that burned and shone more at the sky faded more from its solid blue, to an inky black tempest. The rattling began to die, but the force remained.<br/><br/>His ears rung fierce from the violent cacophony that had filled them. His body still felt heavy, as if a weight of an entire man still rested against it. But this began to lift. He meowed youdly, his very voice echoing against the metal walls.<br/><br/><a href=""https://youtu.be/nP6xBFyA_aw"" rel=""nofollow"">Action tiem</a><br/><br/>Like a pop, something sounded behind him. Muffled by steel and all other matters of human creation something disconnected, something happened. He was struck with a sudden renewed burst of fear as an airy weightlessness took hold. Lifting and gently tossing him around in the straps. It was where the strong. A greater fear came upon him, one born from the loss of the sensation of weight. A panic thrust deep into his stomach over all things being turned differently. His heads were clenched shut, had been since the glowing of the silver fire grew too bright.<br/><br/>He mewled nervously, twisting and turning in his confines. Shutting his eyes as the light grew. He threw himself about, trying to escape. But to no avail, the straps were too strong, and the buckles locked tight. Everything felt weightless. Alien. He felt like he was drowning, but he could breath.<br/><br/>And then something tickled his nose.<br/><br/>With a loud sneeze he sprayed through the air a cloud of mucus. Instinctively he opened his eyes to see the effect splatter against the walls all around him. Springing and cleaning to the imperfect rough surfaces. And as he gazed to the window, all feelings of panic subsided. Like a hand closing off the flame softly, the furious, terrifying flame of fear subsided and died, turning to peace as through the porthole he looked out to the world beyond. A new world.<br/><br/>Clear brilliance spanned ahead and on into infinity. A massive, visceral landscape of emptiness. But in itself, hardly empty. Far off beyond the infinite horizon the brilliance of more stars than he had ever seen flew in the great sky beyond his own. It was as if it were the night sky, but at the same time it wasn't. In the darkness there was an illuminated brilliance. A pure golden and silver light that shone and reflected off the interior of the hatch window. A pure and perfect sheen. And as the capsule spun the source came into view, with more blinding glory than it ever had before.<br/><br/>The sun, a glowing golden coin that hung far beyond his reach hovered in the distance. Unveiled from the sky and the clouds and the dust and the fog. Unmolested from smog and smoke. And revealed naked without glass and concrete was the sun. As pure and bright as it could ever be. And in its furious humbling brilliance it burned as much. Its brilliant pure light warmed through the cabin. The cat shied its eyes away from it, shirking back at the blinding golden fire that wrapped over them. His coat felt warm in the glow. And then it was gone.<br/><br/>Its orange halo descended beside the port. Disappearing in the eclipse of the sides and the backs of whatever machine of man's design he rode shotgun in. The infinite brilliance of stars near and far resumed control. Even the most brilliant ivory, silver glow of the moon made a cameo. In all, the stellar sites were inflaming a sensation of awe and wonder. A brilliance he had never before witness. Until the Earth came into view.<br/><br/>Like a gemstone teardrop was the rock he had called home presented itself. Filling the entire window with the awe of its visage. The ocean bodies and mountains and forests and desserts he could hardly wish to comprehend revealing himself. The scale, wonder, and purity of the land below enforcing a dencentering sensation. How could he now be the center of it all if he was so small compared to the world below?<br/><br/>Was this it? Was this mankind's usurpation of his throne? To shoot down his godliness? If it was so, they had won. There was no terror now. No greed. No ego. Only awe and wonder in the brilliance of a wider universe.<br/><br/>If it had been the goal of the Chinese to destroy the last God-Emperor, it had happened. They had won.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Omsk, Russia</div><br/><br/>Tsung energetically pulled his fingers through his hair. Even despite the shower he was pulling out thick clods of dust and debris that had accumulated in muddy blobs. The wash of cold water had reminded him of the persistent existence of filth on his scalp with the cleansing of his body. The five minutes he had was hardly enough to go through and thoroughly clean out the accumulation of wear on his head.<br/><br/>Sat on dusty cots pulled in for the night he and his crew mates sat at the top floor of a small flat over looking the river that cut through Omsk. It was a temporary residence for them. At best the night, he was assured they were pulling out tomorrow. So like he, the rest had gotten their appointed showering in now. Tse Lin had disappeared sometime after their left, and with the night in the thick of darkness she hadn't come back. Although Sun Song showed no evident sign of fear.<br/><br/>“How about Qin Wi?” Hui asked Song as he dragged a single-bladed razor across his scalp. At this moment Tsung was his most jealous of the gunner, he had the most effective means of keeping clean among them, with no hair to speak of to tend to.<br/><br/>Qin Wi as Tsung had learned was a commander under Song. Barely as much a sergeant as he was. And as Tsung had also learned, their commander – his new commander – Huei Wen was a duel enthusiast.<br/><br/>“I don't know why you think I should do this.” Song said calmly as he looked out the window at the urban night outside. Even from a small town that observed an energy curfew, Tsung had not seen a city darker. Not a light shone anywhere. It was basked in the most perfect of darkness. The over head stars shone with an unobstructed cleanliness never had he seen. It had to be the cool air, cooler than he had ever known.<br/><br/>Traveling across the sky as well he could watch the wing lights of bombers inbound into the city from the west, or outbound to it. The suppression must continue.<br/><br/>“Because maybe if you impress the good commander enough he may promote you.” Hui chuckled, “And I'd think you'd make a better division commander then Sen Wu.”<br/><br/>Song chuckled. “Thank you for the compliment!” he said with a cry of dry humor, “But I don't really see how it's necessary. I got this far on actually proving myself in battle I don't need to start some trend over wushu matches for promotions. It's just not how the things should work.”<br/><br/>Hui sighed defeated, “I concede your honorableness.” he replied sarcastically, whipping clean the blade of his razor. “But answer me this, do you think I could take him on?” he asked, “My position for his if I win!” he laughed.<br/><br/>Song turned from the window. His expression carried a spooky weight and a stern dissatisfaction. “Fuck no.” he said disapprovingly, “I'll get you promoted when I think you deserve it.<br/><br/>“Besides, it'd hardly be beyond my powers.” he added, grumbling.<br/><br/>Tsung rung his fingers through his wiry black hair once more. Sighing defeated he brushed his fingers off on the legs of his pants and fell back against the wall. His head hit the plaster drywall with a soft thunk, and he could feel a new wave of fine dust trail down on his head. He blinked agitated as a fine cloud sailed down to dock in his eyes. “You know it's a bad idea to even wear hair.” Hui mocked playfully, “Have you thought about shaving your head bald?”<br/><br/>Tsung groaned as he rubbed the dust from his eyes. “I- ah... No, I don't think I ever have.” he stuttered nervously.<br/><br/>“Shit.” Hui laughed, shaking his head, “Well I'll let you borrow my razor.” he invited, stepping up off his cot and leaning over to Tsung, “You can cut your head clean and not worry about it.” he warmly suggested, smiling.<br/><br/>Tsung cracked open his eyes and looked at the folded razor being offered to him. The muffed and battered metal casing barely shone with a matte finish in the gas lantern lighting of their temporary bunk.<br/><br/>“I... Uh- no thank you. Not tonight.” he grumbled miserably, running his hands over his face. Sitting down, the past day was catching up to him. He was feeling heavy and tired, and he didn't feel like he could hold a blade steady his hands were still shaking so much. He had found his crew, that's all he needed to feel warm invitation. When he had recovered – if he had – maybe he'd take up Hui's offer.<br/><br/>The crewman shrugged indifferently. “Alright then.” he shrugged, sitting back down.<br/><br/>“I got it from a bird Qiu Jian got into some shit this past afternoon and will be forced to dish out at mess.” Song said suddenly.<br/><br/>“Oh for fucks sake!” Hui cried.<br/><br/>“What?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“Qiu Jian, he's an asshole.” answered Hui unceremoniously, “He likes to be uptight.”<br/><br/>“And he'll be hung over.” Song added.<br/><br/>“And that'll make it worse.” Hui laughed uncomfortably, “I don't imagine he'll be very kind then?”<br/><br/>“Not since he started complaining about Lin sneaking away the last apple. His last apple.” their officer grumbled bitterly, “So you better have your cards at least, he's going to try and take his revenge out on all of us.”<br/><br/>Tsung only had to use his ID card a couple of times. The last time was to join up with this unit several months ago. He felt his heart suddenly drop a beat and hang limp, his head going numb as he realized he didn't know where it was. “Damn it!” it blurted out, shooting up from his cot, desperately searching his person.<br/><br/>“What is it?” Song asked quizzically.<br/><br/>“I-I don't know where it went.” Tsung panicked, shooting up from his cot and pacing about. Thinking hard. “It was... Was...” he started, “In my coat.” he scanned the walls, searching for his heavy coat. “I had it.” he said.<br/><br/>“I do remember handing it back when you returned.” Song explained, “You sort of went missing without it.”<br/><br/>“You keep your card in your coat?” Hui asked.<br/><br/>“And I- uh... I think I brought it with me to the showers.” he realized. It dawned on him like a lead weight. He was in a moment calm, then tense.<br/><br/>“Better hurry up and get there before the security detail closes things down!” Sun Song calmly encouraged, dismissively waving his hands, “You have time still, but go on and get down there and get it. Last we need is for one of us to get hung up at the food light and have half the column hating us.<br/><br/>“Go. Go on.” he again said.<br/><br/>Tsung nodded, eagerly taking the dismissal. He thundered out the door and for the stairs, jogging down the wooden steps, often missing several in one bound. His hand hovered over the chipped and plaster dusted handrail as he went. From the bullet-holed hallways he heard the late night chatter and laughter of the rest of the unit, the sounds of music swam from somewhere.<br/><br/>On the ground floor a lone radio operator leaned against his heavy back pack radio. A gauze bandage across his cheek kept him from bleeding onto the device as he idly spun through the dials, listening into every radio frequency he could. A ciagarette hung limp from his lips as he starred bored at the dial's faces. Then up to Tsung as he clattered down to the ground floor. He offered a silent nod of acknowledgment before turning back to his silent duty. Tsung wondered if he was really doing anything productive, or simply being bored. Like scanning the radio for a song. But for him, it was for war.<br/><br/>“Uh, anything?” Tsung asked distantly as he turned away from him.<br/><br/>“A lot of nothing.” the radio operator said dryly, “Entertainment radio's being re-mobilized and is down right now. And the Russians changed their codes again, so I can't say what they're doing.<br/><br/>“Why do you ask?” he added, lifting up his head. The gauze was heavy further along by his hear. A red stain in the fiber bloomed out from the side. The sight made Tsung's stomach crawl and twist. He turned to the door so the operator couldn't see his face go pale.<br/><br/>“Curious.” he said, biting his lip.<br/><br/>“Good enough comrade.” the operator said dryly, bordering between wakefulness and sleep.<br/><br/>Tsung nodded stiffly as neared the back door. He felt stiff, and his mind wandered back to the injured soldier in that armored car. Pulling the door open – it didn't need much force – he leaned up against the door frame. His breaths heavy as he collected himself. He shut his eyes, remembering back to training, how his drill officer had told them to simply remember to breath.<br/><br/>He didn't think it'd actually come into use, but any time was a good time now. He took a deep breath, and exhaled. Imagining the image being swept aside by a rush of water. Opening his eyes again, he looked up into the barren yard where the shower tents had been quickly thrown up. Surrounding it burned barrels of twigs, paper, and unusable refuse that could be burned. The evening was cool, but not bitter cool. And somewhere a shower head was running.<br/><br/>Tsung presumed it was a late comer, too busy to get to them before and just now seizing the moment before security detail shut off the water. It would hardly be an issue, and he'd be in to check and out. He stepped out into the muddy water, the ground whetted by shower run off.<br/><br/>Walking over the rubber mats on his way up he figured what if the jacket was there? It'd surely be in the hands of the quartermaster's office, where ever that was. He'd need to find that. The idea made him moan. It wasn't pleasant, and sounded like a lot more trouble than it was worth. And it made him more tired than he was thinking about it. But it was gone as he parted open the tarpaulin tent flaps to enter as he looked up.<br/><br/>He had assumed it'd be another guy. Someone he felt he could get by without issue. But looking up there was not the pillar build of a foot soldier or any man he knew, but a distinctly feminine hour glass. He stopped frozen, an unmuted fire smoldering to life under him. Blood that had rushed out from before suddenly screamed headlong up and he staggered dizzied, starring on at the rivulets of water that flowed down along the yellowed back of the unexpected patron.<br/><br/>The erotic fire turned quickly into a choked surprised noose as he realized just whose curves the water followed. Black hair let down, he was watching Tse Lin. His breathing tightened, his chest constricted as her slender body curved and stretched as she combed through her head. Half turning, scrubbing aside the dirt. And then looking up.<br/><br/>“Oh fuck!” she shouted, reeling back suddenly as she saw Tsung standing at the entrance way. Her arms flew to her, wrapping themselves across her tight breasts and tucking away whatever else.<br/><br/>“S-sorry!” Tsung stammered awkwardly, spinning back from the door. Tripping over the heels of his boots. With a graceless half turn he regained his balance. But his heart raced at a million miles a minute. His head swam in milk. And a cold sweat beaded all over his skin. He trembled as his clam hand went to his eyes.<br/><br/>Everything felt frozen, and his thoughts took on a jarred mess. He shrunk back, mumbling incoherent thoughts to himself. He would have turned to go back inside and to wait...<br/><br/>“Tsung?” Lin called out from inside. The hiss of the shower head had died. She sounded nervous, and as shaken as he.<br/><br/>“U-uh...” he stammered weakly. He was to say, “Yea?” but what came out was too jarred for words.<br/><br/>She sighed. “Fuck it, what do want?” she asked. She spoke somewhere between a scolding mother and a concerned sister. The bruntness caught the tank driver off guard, he hesitated.<br/><br/>“Ay-I-I'm looking for my coat.” he answered finally, “I thought I left it h-here. I- uh... it's got my ID in it. Song said I should get it a- I'm s-”<br/><br/>“For fuck's sake, it's OK.” she consoled with a loud sigh, “Come in and get it. You just surprised me is all.”<br/><br/>“Um... OK, I guess.” Tsung said, his eyes lowered as he stepped in. His boots slopped against the wet plastic that covered the ground. He half looked over, Lin's bear feet were right next to him.<br/><br/>“For fuck's sake don't be a tard.” she scolded, smacking him briskly across the head. He recoiled back, lowering his hand. She had a towel on.<br/><br/>“Sorry.” he apologized, there was a heavy lump in his throat.<br/><br/>“I suppose we both should.” she mumbled, stepping back. She held on tight to the towel wrapped around her torso, hand hovering over where it covered her breasts. The other scrubbed her hair dry with another. She looked at Tsung with sharp eyes, judging, condemning, but forgiving; if a little.<br/><br/>“There was a crumpled coat over in the corner there.” she said, nodding to the far corner of the room. Tsung followed her gesture, seeing the lumped canvas mass in the distant corner. Stuffing his shaking hands under his arms he bowed.<br/><br/>“T-thank you.” he said nervously, walking over.<br/><br/>“You've never been with a girl, ever?” she asked suddenly, as Tsung collected his things.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” he stuttered, looking back. He tried not to stare for long, and turned back to his things.<br/><br/>“You.” she repeated, “You act like it. Not even a sister?” she asked.<br/><br/>“Uh- Ah... No...” Tsung softly muttered.<br/><br/>“So then I don't suppose you've ever gone out with anyone then either.”<br/><br/>“I was told I should find a- uh, girl. But I never...” he started, but he trailed off. The heavy lump in his throat turned into a rubber plug, and he choked to talk around it. He collected his coat, and held it up to his chest.<br/><br/>“So you queer then?” she asked, almost dismissively.<br/><br/>“No!” Tsung quickly denied, “No. No, I'm not.” he added, biting his lip, “Why do you want to know?”<br/><br/>“I'm sorry.” Lin said with a sigh, “I grew up with two older brothers. And I've never met another guy so nervous.” she shot Tsung an accusatory look. She brushed the towel the last of her hair, “So if you're not queer, what are you?”<br/><br/>“I-” he started, “I-I guess I was just raised a little traditionally.”<br/><br/>“Mhm.” Lin nodded, “And I grew up without a home with my mother and two brothers. I think the traditional school of polite secrecy was lost to both of us.” she said. She tried to say it comforting, but it was still laced with an accusing tone.<br/><br/>Tsung couldn't help but lower his eyes. The entire situation was awkward. And the erection in his pants wasn't making it any easier. It was hardly the most polite place for a conversation, nor the sort of conversation he'd expect to get from a crew member. He chewed on the inside of his cheek, throwing his coat over his shoulder as he walked to the door.<br/><br/>“So why'd a softie like you join?” she asked as he neared the exit. Tsung froze.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” he asked, glancing over. She was kneeled over on a knee, drying off a leg. Her hand still holding the towel to her chest.<br/><br/>“How'd you get in?” she reiterated, “Lottery?”<br/><br/>He didn't answer. He brushed his hand along the canvas, tarp tent flap. “I suppose if you were anyone else I probably would have had to break your bones.” she said, freezing Tsung to the spot before he could leave, “We women, since integration at least, we're taught to be tough. So we're not taken advantage of.” she stood stood. Looking Tsung right into the eyes, “You scarred me, is all.” she said again, her tone wavering on honesty and condescension.<br/><br/>“I-I'm sorry.”<br/><br/>“I know.” she smiled, “And when you get back, could you not tell Song? I'll follow you in a minute. He won't worry.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Huei Wen</div><br/><br/>“A toast, to the first victory!” Afanasi cheered, rising out of his chair, a glass in his hands. A table of a modest spread sat before him, and the other officers gathered with him. Candles and lanterns gave a wispy spooky light to the dinner. Shining off of and from bottles of vodka, wine, and steel tea kettles. Metal military bowls of rice and pork were laid out atop the bare wood surface of their dining table. Plates of carrots joined alongside with a hode-podge of other vegetables. Slice potatoes, beats, and a few apples.<br/><br/>“It may be too early for the toast.” Huei Wen smiled, getting out of his chair, “But here I can't resist.” he laughed softly, rising to meet the Russian commander's glass. With a soft ring of glass, the meal was on and the two sat down among their staff officers and retinues.<br/><br/>“When I got the invitation to a dinner I did not expect an actual meal.” Afanasi complimented, eyeing the spread greedily, “I had expected some Chinese slop cooked in a pot.” He smiled, looking up at his Chinese counterpart. His beard wrinkled up his narrow beaten cheeks. “No offense of course, comrade.”<br/><br/>“None taken.” Wen bowed. He looked across to Afanasi's entourage who looked down lost at their plates and the food. Perplexed at the invitation and the charity. They were clearly unsure whether it was their place to eat, or why they were at the table.<br/><br/>“Go ahead, eat.” the Chinese commander invited them, “Mann Wu and Angua have already started.” he said, pointing out the two staff officer's at his side.<br/><br/>“I was ready before the toast.” Wu laughed. Despite the warming spring weather he still wore a scarf around his neck that framed his round bony face. A hood of rags covered his head as it wrapped down under his chin. By comparison Angua was more comfortable, having long shed his winter uniform.<br/><br/>“Well if not assured victory why the meal?” Afanasi's lieutenant said. Lechivsok, a scrawny creature with wild blonde hair. A hound of the Russian commander, and who Wen knew to be a prick.<br/><br/>“Simply to talk.” Wen said, restraining his emotions, “I've always found a meal to be an appropriate and peaceful moment.” he mused philosophically.<br/><br/>“That, and once you fill a man's stomach how could he ever deny an offer?” Afanasi laughed loudly. Chunks of carrot slipped from his lips into his beard. But it hardly mattered to him, his blue eyes were glowing with charitable thanks for the meal. He did not expect it on campaign. Wen knew he had to be careful, lest he spoiled his ally in operation.<br/><br/>“What was it you need to talk about?” he asked.<br/><br/>“I'm going to request that as we push on you step back your men from the front.” Wen said. He spoke plainly and direct between bite-size servings of rice from his chopsticks. He had mixed together what he could in a small bowl. A glass of wine sat nearby.<br/><br/>“Right now they're no doubt making the forward push on the Republic, as discussed.” he went on to say, “Which is admirable. But in common raiding and skirmishing I can not expect them to form a stable line across the country.”<br/><br/>“They lack armored support.” Afanasi added, “We have some tanks, old ones your nation sold to us. But I can not expect them to serve equally or provide adequate cover.<br/><br/>“If you're concerned about the support of my men, then why don't you provide your own tanks to the advance? It would make things easier than simply restraining them.”<br/><br/>“It's not the lack of support I'm worried about.” Wen replied, “I can do that easily, and would not have invited you to sit down for dinner with me if it were the case.<br/><br/>“More so I'm worried about the ability to secure the rear.” he continued, after swallowing a rice-covered boiled carrot, “My men for sure could handle it, but it wouldn't be without drama. There is a certain destabilizing factor when people of one race must police another, I feel. And it might for our benefit ease tensions.”<br/><br/>“How so?” Afanasi asked.<br/><br/>“My studying of the situation among the Russians in Outer Manchuria.” Angua said, “They'll follow along as we expect, if only because most it would seem are in ideological agreement; to a degree. But among population groups there's a wariness of Chinese soldiers and police in the street.”<br/><br/>“Oh really?” Afanasi commented cynically.<br/><br/>“I know it seems silly, but it's something we're keeping ourselves aware of.” the IB agent mumbled in a low breath, “There's even been a noted disparity of violence among the Russian majority of the territory against Chinese officers compared to violence against Russian officers. If means were different we may not be as involved in the local policing matters in the area, but with the vast influence of the Mafiya then the powers that be in the national police are committed to putting more boots in the area than not. Nearly a third of the reserve half of Wen's men are allocated to Vladivostovok and the outlying towns to provide an strong commitment to security so we can chase the Mafiya while the common officer pursues common crime.<br/><br/>“If I wasn't already on comrade Wen's staff and assigned to the Manchurian army I imagine I would be partaking in some <span class=""bb-i"">rat hunting</span>.”<br/><br/>“It's incredibly political.” Wen smiled.<br/><br/>“My men though deserve some sort of advance role in this though!” Afanasi demanded sternly, “It's after all our mission, not the Chinese mission!<br/><br/>“You're the help.” he reminded them.<br/><br/>“And they will.” Wen assured him, “With policing in mind I'm only asking for a few hundred men garrisoned behind us as we go. A few small units, to provide a presence in the cities and regions we enter. You can have the exhausted units stay behind to over look the situation behind us. Under performing ones even.<br/><br/>“I don't wish to remove you from the battle field, comrade.” Wen reminded, “I just want to set this up before we get too far in. The success to the grander fight will come down on the complacency of the people we're occupying.”<br/><br/>Afanasi breathed deep. His nostrils flaring. His eyes darted about the room. From Wen, to Angua, and to Yu Mann, who made no committed gesture to the conversation. Huei Wen thought he'd for sure get up and walk out. His face had reddened.<br/><br/>Reaching for his glass of vodka he downed the entire thing in one go. Slamming it to the table he looked back and said low: “When we get to Moscow, I want to lead the assault.” he said.<br/><br/>“And you shall.” Wen assured.<br/><br/>“I'll play along then.” the Russian nodded, “But I don't want to be cut out.”<br/><br/>“You won't be, you're still playing a very important part in this.” Wen consoled comfortingly.<br/><br/>“I'll take your word for it.” Afanasi breathed comfortably, “So, anything else?”<br/><br/>“If I may,” Angua spoke up, “but I would like to borrow comrade Wen for a moment. I got to talk to him about the wine.”<br/><br/>Wen looked over at his agent. He realized by the way he looked down he had something to say. “The wine?” Afanasi laughed, “That doesn't seem like something you talk in private about.”<br/><br/>“It is when some might be angry you got it up here.” he smiled, quickly finding the excuse.<br/><br/>“Oh!” the Russian crooned, “Then it's a special treat! Then go on ahead, we'll put it to good use.<br/><br/>“Yu Mann, you haven't talked all dinner. Would you like a glass?” Afanasi offered as Wen and Angua parted from the table.<br/><br/>“No thank you.” Mann politely refused, as the two officers passed into the next room.<br/><br/>It was dark, hardly any light to speak of. What little that passed through the window was hardly enough and reduced the two men to the barest, most naked of shadows.<br/><br/>“You can't really trust Afanasi, can you?” Angua said.<br/><br/>“Admittedly no I don't.” Wen admitted in a hushed tone, “But I don't think I got a choice. I'm politically tied to him because of this.”<br/><br/>“So you do want him cut out?”<br/><br/>“If it was advantageous, yes. But right about now I need his men as much as I need his support. What are you getting at?” the commander asked as he walked to the window, “Can you infiltrate his command to predict his next move?”<br/><br/>“Easily, the Siberians are sloppy. Especially after Sakha. They move so carefully as to not offend themselves they walk about like the shit their pants, but won't admit it. A beggar kid on the street could probably steal the wallets from their coat pockets.” Angua observed as he joined his commander at the window. The street outside was barren and dark. In the distance a few fire lights burned among the still smoldering ruins of Omsk.<br/><br/>“But I won't be taking anything out, I want to put something in. Something we can use.”<br/><br/>“How can we use something that we don't have?” Wen asked, purely to humor his intelligence officer.<br/><br/>“The unfortunate thing that might arise from using Russians to police Russians is sympathy. We may avoid a factor in violence, but it doesn't mean that they'll let in saboteurs or Republican spies in simply on the factor of being brothers. I imagine not all of his army has all their relations in the east. The more we move west the more families we reunite, and the more open holes for Russian sympathy to involve.<br/><br/>“If we're not closing those tunnels, we may as well run our own snakes through it.”<br/><br/>“It sounds like what you want to do might be illegal.”<br/><br/>“Depends on which court we end up in. But I want to close down as many avenues our enemies have. The Russian Resurrection was an embarrassment enough born from being too soft.<br/><br/>“Comrade, I want to find our enemies and snuff them out before they become an issue. It'll be strategically sound to our mission.”<br/><br/>“I know.” Wen nodded, he watched the solo headlamps of a truck as it rolled down the empty street. “But can it be done without involving me?”<br/><br/>“I got contacts in the Siberian administration, we've infiltrated it and it's messy. I can throw a fistful of Yuan into it and it'll get so lost no one would know it got in.<br/><br/>“I've known people who have. A few entrepreneuring roosters have been doing it to finance IB operations here so they can go far beyond the allotment Beijing provides us. There's a lot we can slip in and out of Novosibirsk without so much as a clerk finding out.”<br/><br/>“The flow of money doesn't stop moving. I imagine I should forget you ever said that.”<br/><br/>“Please do, then forget I've ever said I can register a nonexistent Russian officer and a totally ghost regiment of men under Afanasi's command. I can put it in, no one will know it was there or won't ever ask if they do.<br/><br/>“Forget I've ever said that's the cover I plan to use.”<br/><br/>Wen nodded along, “Sensible.” he said, “But I'm not a spy. I'm an army officer. So excuse my lack of comprehension when I say: 'I did not have commanding authority over that man.'”<br/><br/>“Exactly. But forget I ever suggest you shouldn't use 'did not', comrade. Use contractions, you're lying otherwise.”<br/><br/>“I'll promptly do that.”<br/><br/>“So what do you plan to do with all of this?”<br/><br/>“Get some friends together. Some people I can trust. But some guns and pens in their hand and go rat hunting.<br/><br/>“Simply as that.”<br/><br/>“You got my blessing.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Addis Ababa, Ethiopia</div><br/><br/>The jets touched down with a loud squeal across the tarmac. At the angle they entered in from and the speed the sortie blundered down the tarmac, nearly forcing themselves to have to lift off before they reached the end and risking crashing through the airport's perimeter. But even if they had not gained control and tame their own speed the appearance of the twin silver, alien aircraft created a considerable buzz.<br/><br/>In the background of their communication with Addis's control tower there was notable excitement. Raised voices, bellowing out speeds. Or exclaiming their excitement. In the end, the distressed air traffic controller had to force through what little Chinese he could command to set them down right. And as swiftly as they came, they tucked themselves away. The Chinese embassy had seen need for keeping them under lock and key. Even if on their pass in the explosive sound they made for sure alerted the entire city.<br/><br/>They could only hope that in their ignorance there wouldn't be a panicked riot.<br/><br/>“Shit, is he here? Did he make it!?” Wu bounced in the halls of Addis' airport. Slipped among the rooms the regular pilots would use and tucked away from prying civilian eyes. Wu's wild eyes scanned every door as he spun about, his wild unkempt hair sprung out out from under his leather cap as he dodged and weaved. Among the curious African staff. Alien words fluttered and wove around them as airport employees exclaimed in their alien tongue their bewilderment for the leather-outfitted Chinese pilots.<br/><br/>“He's not here...” Yu said. His shallow cheeks pale.<br/><br/>“He's not?” Wu asked. He scanned, “He's not...” he repeated, defeated.<br/><br/>“He's got to be alright.” his partner assured him, walking him through the halls. He felt as strained and panicked as his partner. A shadow of doubt hung over him. “He crashed.” he suggested, “He died, a second Spanish plane found him. You can't confirm it.” he continued to pry.<br/><br/>They moved down the hallway, lost. But not unguided. “Comrades.” a man called out in a familiar language. The two pilots looked up, standing alongside an open door stood a Chinese soldier. By the uniform, an embassy guard. “I was told I was expecting three.” he pointed, puzzled and then deeply afraid, “Did something happen?”<br/><br/>“I- who are you?” Yu asked.<br/><br/>“The Embassy asked me to meet three Chinese pilots. Orders.” he said, “I was to get them on the line with Chake Bay. I take it you're the thre- er, two.”<br/><br/>“That were. But we lost one.” nodded Yu in a low, saddened voice, “You got Chake Bay on?”<br/><br/>“I can get them. Come in quick, I was told without hesitation. And that comes with caution. I don't know who any one here is.<br/><br/>“Can't let Spain know.” he added, stepping aside as the two pilots bust into the room.<br/><br/>It was a small conference room, sparsely decorated except for the red telephone on the center table. “From the embassy.” the guard said, inviting them to use it, “I got Pemba holding on the line.”<br/><br/>Yu bit his lip, nodding. He stepped to the phone. He felt heavy as he picked it up. “This is Song Yu. Heron 1.” he reported. He was nervous.<br/><br/>“What happened to Han Wen?” the other end asked with a gasp, “He was to deliver.”<br/><br/>“I can't confirm it, but I think Han Wen was downed.” Song Yu started, “But we went to the target position. The Spanish had already made it, they only had one plane. We engaged it.”<br/><br/>“Plane?”<br/><br/>“They have jets too...” Song Yu stammered. Somehow admitting the words was like admitting to treason.<br/><br/>“Did you terminate?” the Pemba operator asked.<br/><br/>“We couldn't. He left, and we abandoned pursuit. Our fuel was low. Han Wen aborted earlier, saying his fuel tank may have been hit.”<br/><br/>There was a long silence from the other end. It made Song Yu shake. “Tell us everything.” a different voice said. Harder, more affirmative. The CO above Wen, “Then hand the phone to your wing man and let us hear his side of the story.”<br/><br/>“Y-yes sir.” Yu stuttered, and he began.</div>"

His chair was a throne of sorts, a dark ironwood monstrosity banded with patterned gold leaf who's shimmer made the wood seem darker. Its back was so tall that a man could have sat on Yaqob's shoulders and rested his head easily against the top. A golden lion crowned the chair, reclining on a sphere hung amongst a web of thick vines made of gold so pure that it looked like metallic butter. The table in front of him was large enough to seat eight people. A white cloth covered it, and each place was set with finely etched French Crystal wine glasses, pure-silver cutlery, and ivory-white porcelain plates.<br/><br/>""Ras Hassan reports that half of the population of Djibouti has been evacuated."" Tilu said. Tilu Gidada was Yaqob's personnel assistant, a young man who had been born and raised in Addis. It had not been that long ago that Yaqob had many more assistants in his service, but he had dismissed many of them so they could return to their families in the towns and villages of rural Africa. <br/><br/>Tilu Gidada belonged to the growing number of comfortable city-dwellers who pursued their entire education in Addis Ababa, all the way through University. When Yaqob had been school age, most people who could afford to educate their children sent them abroad to schools in Europe. Yaqob himself had received much of his schooling in Austria, before going to China to receive a military education. Tilu had graduated from the University of Addis Ababa only three years ago, entering government service as so many of the educated of his generation did.<br/><br/>""That means half are still in the city."" Yaqob said glumly. He could not ignore that. Those people would be caught between the invading Spaniards and the trap Hassan was trying to lay for them along the Red Sea coast. Yaqob knew that the results would be bloody. Hassan had never been one to worry about innocent lives during war, and the invaders were out for blood.<br/><br/>Tilu said nothing. He was a professional young man, and not only because of his short-cropped hair or well-kept blue suits. He knew when to talk, and when not to talk. Yaqob appreciated that.<br/><br/>""Zenon Bie Bwana will be arriving soon."" Tilu spoke again after a momentary silence. ""Is there anything you will be needing.""<br/><br/>Yaqob waved his hand. ""Go to the door. Wait for him. I want to be alone for a moment, before our guest arrives.""<br/><br/>Tilu did as he was asked. He left, and Yaqob was alone.<br/><br/>The Emperor of the Pan-African Empire leaned back in his chair, wanting nothing more than to go to sleep. He had woke up early that morning, to help console his frightened mother before they put her and most of his family on a plane to China. When that hard task was done, he had spent the day working, preparing for the war that he was certain would consume him and everything he had built. He wanted to flee, to find a corner of a palace where he could hide and just stay there. Hide, sleep, and forget about everything that weighed on him.<br/><br/>On the wall across from him hung a painting of himself sitting powerful in his throne, Azima by his side. It was their reign as it was meant to be. The painting had been commissioned shortly following their wedding, to replace the near-pornographic image of a nude woman curled up in a bed of red velvet that Sahle had kept there when he was Emperor. He and his wife looked regal in their painting. They were both dressed in white, he with a lion's pelt over his shoulder and a sword in his lap while she had been made to glow angelically. Looking at it, it was easy to forget that, when they had posed for it, he had been recovering from the sucking chest wound that had nearly killed him, delivered to him by a would-be assassins bullet.<br/><br/>His scar twinged sore. He took a deep breath and tried to forget. He tried to think about his family in China. He imagined them living in the mansion that Hou had lent to him and Akanni during their years in exile there. Those had been easier days, when he could give all his time to reading and writing. Being Emperor had been easy then, when it required nothing but dreams. Would his son grow up to read the same books that he had? Would he live a comfortable life, far away from the failures of his father?<br/><br/>""Sir"" Tilu had entered back into the room. ""May I present, Zenon Bie Bwana."" Yaqob sat rigid again, and put on a welcoming smile as the writer entered the room.<br/><br/>Zenon was a middle aged man, his shape hidden by a thick, richly colored floral pattern robe. He wore a simple folded cap made from the same fabric as his clothes. His skin was the inky black of central Africa, the pock scars covering his cheeks giving the suggestion of childhood illness. Thin, wiry black hair clung to his head, and a small patch of facial hair sat just below his thin lips. When he saw the Emperor, his eyes seemed to glow, and he dipped into an exaggerated bow.<br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty"" he said slowly, inhaling when he was done. ""I am honored beyond my ability to speak. I have never dreamed of setting foot in your home, or sharing your food."" Yaqob watched out of the corner of his eye as Tilu took a seat where he had a folding desk and typewriter ready to record the minutes of their meeting.<br/><br/>""That is kind of you to say."" Yaqob replied politely. The writer's behavior reminded him of his Grandfather's court, when old customs were still held and the Emperor was treated as something close to divine. He remembered how his grandfather had referred to himself in third person, using 'We' instead of 'I', and 'Our' instead of 'My'. Yaqob had been a child then, and the strange way his grandfather spoke had made it difficult to keep track of what he was actually saying. Most of those customs had died with his father, however, who thought the Emperor should act more like a leader than a god.<br/><br/>Zenon chose a seat at the side of the table, Yaqob noted. Not at the end, where he would be in a place almost equal with Yaqob's. What he reading too much into this? The writer's exaggerated introduction had caused Yaqob to look at him as a sycophant, and he was quick to see little signs of worship. <br/><br/>""I have read some of your work."" Yaqob said politely. ""<span class=""bb-i"">The Kingdom of Africa.</span>. And <span class=""bb-i"">Black Ba'al</span>. You are a persuasive writer, Mr Bie Bwana.""<br/><br/>""I thank you."" Zenon said. ""I dedicated <span class=""bb-i"">The Kingdom of Africa</span> to your reign. The dream that you and your father has realized means a lot to the African people.""<br/><br/>""That is good to hear."" Yaqob replied. Did his man's visit have a purpose? He wanted to sleep now, more than anything else. He wanted to be alone. ""I am curious, how have your works been received by the more traditional academics?""<br/><br/>""Traditional academics."" Zenon smiled knowingly. For a man so polite, it struck Yaqob as almost insolent. What was this man, a flatterer or a snake? ""They are white, of course, and they support white ideas. The concept that a great civilization of old could have been black African is foreign to them. In some ways, they act like it is an insult.""<br/><br/>""And you still stand by it? Unwaveringly?"" <br/><br/>""Unwaveringly."" Zenon sounded firm. Yaqob heard something charismatic in his voice. This was a military man, he remembered, and a leader of the militia.<br/><br/>Their food was brought in then. They were served roast beef so red in the center that it looked bloody, and a milky cream sauce on the side garnished with mint and chive. Yaqob studied Zenon for a reaction, convinced that the Pan-African scholar would be disappointed for the lack of African fare. He thought he saw a slight droop in his guest's eyes, but it was hard to tell. Several bottles of wine were presented to Yaqob for choice. The Emperor picked a Galician Valdeorras, taking a bitter humor from the origin of the drink. Zenon chose to have the same.<br/><br/>""A Spanish vintage."" the Pan-African said. ""That is a topical choice.""<br/><br/>Yaqob smiled. ""When I was in China, they taught me to know my enemy."" he quipped. <br/><br/>""Quite good."" Zenon replied. ""This is the only way I would like to know them.""<br/><br/>""You will be knowing them in the battlefield, though."" Yaqob sliced a forkful of roast from his plate and bit into it. The beef was tender, and it seemed to melt and become juice in his mouth. <br/><br/>""Yes."" Zenon replied. ""I am no stranger to the battlefield, I am afraid."" he had fought in the war against the Arabs, Yaqob knew. He earned no citations of honor or distinction during that fight, however. As far as Yaqob could tell, he had been little more than an average soldier.<br/><br/>""I am funding the Legion volunteers around Kinshasa."" he explained.<br/><br/>""You are one of their officers."" Yaqob added. ""This is what my friend Akanni told me.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Zenon acted abashed then, but Yaqob wondered if he was feigning being humble. ""I think my money bought me that. Though I have taken an interest in military history.""<br/><br/>""Akanni told me this as well."" Yaqob said. This had been the reason Yaqob had invited this man here, to be sure, but it would be rude to say this, or event to allude to it. He watched the older man dip a bite of meat in the cream soup and nibble at it like a bird pecking at seed. ""I always had a fondness for academics. I wanted to be one myself, when I was younger. Of a sorts at least.""<br/><br/>""I have read your essays."" Zenon replied. ""It was the Platonic school that argued for the reign of Philosopher-Kings, and I think there is merit to that. Politicians rule by dumb popularity, and warlords rule by brutality. It's only the Kings that can rise above and become something... enlightened.""<br/><br/>That was slightly annoying. Yaqob had not called a dinner to hear himself praised. ""How kind."" he said, taking another bite of meat. ""I am curious. As a military historian, what is your thoughts of this war?""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Zenon paused as he finished a bite. Yaqob saw his eyes light up, and knew this was the question he had been waiting for as well. How easier it would have been if they could have forgotten the niceties and gotten straight to business. That was something he liked about working with Hassan. He was a simple man, and blunt. That was a rare trait in Imperial business.<br/><br/>""I think the key is in oil."" Zenon explained. This was not a new idea to Yaqob. The relative vulnerability of Nigerian oil had been discussed near endlessly. They had heard news earlier that day of an attack by Legion militia's crossing over and harassing Spanish officials. It had been a lowly accountant that suffered in that attack, but this was the first day of open warfare. More would happen, he knew. Yaqob stayed quiet, signalling for Zenon to go on.<br/><br/>""The collapse of the Ottoman Empire has put a stop to most oil-production in the old Empire. Persia is hoarding barrels now, in protest to the fighting in the Suez, and partly as a defensive measure. The other major oil-producing nations have came out against Spain's war, and I have no doubt trade relations are getting frosty as a result. This would hurt our enemy if it wasn't for the oil sitting next to our borders. On the Ivory Coast, and in Tunisia.""<br/><br/>""Tunisia?"" That was far outside of Ethiopian reach.<br/><br/>""Carthago."" Zenon smiled. ""Across the Sahara desert.""<br/><br/>""We had discussed bombing runs in that area."" Yaqob admitted. ""But it was deemed unfeasible. They patrol it with aircraft. There is no sneaking across the desert.""<br/><br/>""I disagree."" Zenon said. Yaqob was surprised at how quick the writer had presumed, but this was too interesting a thought to interrupt with hollow offense. <br/><br/>""Soldiers on the ground could be brought across the desert. The Tuaregs... the desert is filled with Spains enemies, and they know how to hide and where.""<br/><br/>""How to hide an army?"" that seemed ridiculous.<br/><br/>""Hiding does not mean burying in the sand. Hiding means making so that they can cross the desert. It is true that one column could not sneak through the deserts unnoticed, but multiple columns could. This is how I envision it. Split your forces again and again, make allies with the natives, and bring everything across the desert piecemeal. The Spaniards are used too desert caravans in much of the Sahara.""<br/><br/>""Not near their lands though."" Yaqob noted. ""The Tuaregs are not welcome in the heart of Spanish oil country, if my intelligence is to be believed.""<br/><br/>""It is."" Zenon agreed. ""But once across, these same small forces can hit and flee. The Spanish have not fortified their soft underbelly here. I believe they can be driven out.""<br/><br/>""This sounds like a plan to lose my men in the desert."" Yaqob questioned. ""I do not understand its principle measures. How do you handle the logistics? Men on camels?""<br/><br/>""Precisely."" Zenon answered.<br/><br/>Yaqob leaned back, forgetting about the food going cold in front of him. He tried to imagine it. Hundreds of caravans spread across the brown immensity of the Sahara. It seemed absurd. Supplies would have to continue being brought across the wastes so long as there were forces fighting in Tunis, and once the Spanish knew they were there it would take them little effort to stop the flow and sit back as the Ethiopian invasion starved far away from home.<br/><br/>""That's not realistic"" Yaqob finally replied. <br/><br/>""It has been done before."" Zenon had stopped playing the sycophant. Now he was an academic in debate, and Yaqob couldn't help but notice the faith in his voice. He had a strong voice, deep and certain as if it came directly from his soul. This was a man who would be able to convince people that his plan could work, even if the Emperor would not be one of those people.<br/><br/>""Hannibal Barca crossed the Alps with similar problems. The logistical problems faced by a force crossing mountains is not so different from those faced in the desert.""<br/><br/>""Sempronius did not have air support."" Yaqob mused. ""And besides, they could live off of the farms of the Po valley once they were across. We are crossing into more desert.""<br/><br/>""We are crossing into land where Spain has enemies. You do know that the Tuaregs of the desert still move in those parts, even when the Spanish try to keep them away?""<br/><br/>That was true enough. He had been right before; officially, they Tuaregs were not allowed in certain parts of Spanish Tunisia. Early on in his reign, Hassan had brought him evidence that the Spanish had committed mass-killings of Tuareg tribes who lived in around the oil fields of Tunisia, and reports of the stories the surviving natives told all but confirmed it. <br/><br/>""We do not know what sorts of resources these desert peoples can bring us."" Yaqob answered. He began to cut off another slice of beef and promptly forgot about it. ""I do not doubt that the Tuaregs would be willing to help, but willing does not mean able.""<br/><br/>For a moment, nothing was said. Tilu's typing died away and a still silence replaced it. Zenon stared blindly into the air, deep in thought. Yaqob felt as if he had won this discussion, but it was a bitter victory. What had he succeeded in doing here, after all? All he had done was affirm what he already feared. He had proven that they were hopeless.<br/><br/>""It is a risk."" Zenon admitted. ""War is about risks. Is there an alternative?""<br/><br/>""An alternative?"" Yaqob asked.<br/><br/>""Yes. Is there a way to keep your men from dying for Africa? It is true they may die if this invasion of Tunisia is attempted, but if we fail to bring the Spanish to the table, those same men will die anyway.""<br/><br/>""They may live."" Yaqob argued. ""If Spain wins this war.""<br/><br/>For a brief moment, Yaqob saw disgust in Zenon's eyes. It washed over the man like a wave. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair and, as quick as he had left it, he was back to his cold academic pose. ""That is a horrifying notion."" Zenon said.<br/><br/>""It is."" Yaqob agreed. It was the most horrifying notion the Emperor had ever considered, and it seemed like it was going to be a reality.<br/><br/>""And besides that, I wonder how many will accept that life? The return of colonial slavery. That is more horrifying than dying in the desert, your majesty.""<br/><br/>""Your imperial majesty"" a subservient voice called out from a doorway. ""A message had arrived for you.""<br/><br/>""A message?"" Yaqob looked up. His heart sank, but he did not know why.<br/><br/>""Yes."" the servant replied. ""It is urgent.""<br/><br/>""I will be back."" Yaqob smiled at Zenon. ""This will only take a moment. The war always finds a way to take my moments.""<br/><br/>""I understand, your Imperial Majesty"" the academic smiled. ""I will like the time to consider what we have talked about.""<br/><br/>Yaqob beckoned to Tilu. ""Come with me. I might need you.""<br/><br/>They were out in the hallway when the Emperor tapped his assistant on the shoulder. Tilu looked confused for a moment. ""Your majesty?"" he asked quietly.<br/><br/>""I want you to destroy the records of the meeting with Zenon."" Yaqob asked quietly, leaning his head in.<br/><br/>""Your majesty?"" Tilu repeated uncertainly.<br/><br/>""I want to discuss these plans with Hassan. There might be some merit in what the writer says, but I could not say. Until then, I don't want this information falling into Spanish hands. We should do what we can to keep our enemies from even considering this plan as a possibility, and that means no record should exist. Burn it, and we will speak no more about this.""<br/><br/>Tilu nodded and followed the Emperor to where a servant was waiting with a Walinzi agent.<br/><br/>_<br/><br/>Tilu reentered the room where Zenon waited. The academic was poking at his food with a fork when he saw the Emperor's assistant join him.<br/><br/>""Where is the Emperor, may I ask?"" Zenon said, uncertain.<br/><br/>""Something has came up."" Tilu answered. ""We will have to conclude this meeting early. Our Imperial Majesty sends his regrets.""<br/><br/>Zenon looked at him knowingly, and Tilu wondered how much his face was revealing. He was no actor, he knew. Still, he attempted to remain as cold and professional as he could.<br/><br/>""Send the Emperor my regards then."" Zenon said warmly. ""Do I see myself out?""<br/><br/>""There is a guard outside the door. He will help you."" Tilu replied. He stood stoically and waited until Zenon was out of the room. When he was finally alone, he took a deep breath and dropped his courtesy. A horrified shutter shot down his spine as he remembered where he had left the Emperor.<br/><br/>When they told Yaqob the news, the Emperor had dropped to his knees and began to sob. Tilu's heart had stopped for a moment then, as had time. It had felt like the lingering defeat the Emperor had been dreading had finally arrived. What came next nobody could say, but Tilu could do nothing but fear it.<br/><br/>He went to his small, portable typewriter and ripped out the page he had been working on when they were interrupted. There were several other pages laying face down on the desk. He took those too, and when he had them all in hand he pulled a lighter from his pocket and fumbled with it. <br/><br/>This was the Emperor's request, he reminded himself. This was the last thing Yaqob had asked for before grief had brought him to his knees. It took several tries before he managed to get fire. One at a time, he set the pages alight and held them as they burned. The smoke smelled rough and tickled as his throat. By the time he had burned all of the pages, a thin sheet of smoke hung in the air.<br/><br/>Tilu sat down for a moment. He dreaded going back to his Emperor now. Yaqob had lost his entire family, everyone except for the Princess Taytu on her way to Tanganyika. Tilu was uncertain if he would ever recover from this. The loss of his wife, and his mother...<br/><br/>...and his son. Part of Tilu said this was the end, that he should run. But that was silly. The Emperor help now more than ever, and besides that, where was he supposed to go? If this was truly the end, only the remote places of the Empire would be safe for a loyal servant of the Imperial government. His place was here, and he would have to accept it as they all drowned in the Emperor's grief.<br/></div>"

Agencja Wywiadu (Foreign Intelligence Agency) Headquarters</span> <br/><br/>Drazenka let out a deep sigh, her chest heaving with every breath. ""Stay calm... You can do this..."" She muttered to herself, hands tightening around the trigger and forward grip of her weapon. It was a short, compact submachine gun -- designed to penetrate body armor -- standard issue for many AW agents such as herself. Even though women were not officially allowed into combat roles within the Slavic Union's armed forces, the intelligence services were a major exception, and made frequent use of female agents.AW were trained not only for infiltration, but a myriad of roles ranging from those of demolitions to long-range shooting. Being intelligence agents, of course, it was absolutely vital that they be ready for rapidly changing situations, regardless of tradition. <br/><br/>A very large number of AW agents were physically attractive, too; the AW selected many different varieties of agents, each one designed to appeal to a different person -- and make gathering intelligence from them without violence that much easier. Drazenka was a prime example of this behavior. Just over 172 tall, she was an ideal height for women, her musculature well-toned by years of military training -- and it showed, despite how buxom she was. If not for the conservative clothes that military uniforms demanded, the tone of her body would be incredibly impressive. She usually opted to hide her curves (except as required by assignment, of course), her breasts more than large and perky enough to make most women jealous. Thanks to her military training, though, her rear was no less impressive -- round and well toned. <br/><br/>Her amber eyes gazed upwards, watching as the caged red light flashed. It was only a few seconds before the exercise began.  <br/><br/>""Three...."" She thought to herself. <br/><br/>""Two...."" <br/><br/>She took a deep breath, tightening her gloved hands around her weapon, a single finger moving to the shotgun mounted under the barrel. Under her gas mask, she grinned softly, eyes glinting with excitement. Her muscles tensed. <br/><br/>""One...."" The light flashed green. <br/><br/>Drazenka immediately leaped into action, depressing the shotgun's trigger. A spray of buckshot rocketed outwards, slamming viciously into the door's latch, leaving it hanging from the splintered wood. She loaded in a second cartridge, and fired a second shot, instantly sending the latch flying from its mounting. After quickly checking her submachine gun, she wrapped her hand around the door's handle, turned it, and tossed the door open, immediately heading in afterwards. She snapped her sighs up to the left corner of her vision, unleashing a burst of bullets into the  target, sending it careening to the ground. She wheeled to her right, fired a second burst at another target, and flashed a devilish grin before pressing her body against the wall next to the room's exit. After a quick peek through the door frame, she continued onwards, riddling target after target with bullets in room after room. Sweat dribbled down her brow as she approached the last room.  <br/><br/>""Hostage."" She grumbled under her breath, drilling bullets into the final target's skull. Almost instantly, a shrill buzz filled the room, and the caged light turned red. She slipped off her helmet, wiping sweat from her brow as a voice emerged over the speakers. ""Well done, Special Agent."" It said with a dry tone. ""That completes your combat training for today."" <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Poznań, Poland.</span> <br/><br/>Mateusz sighed, massaging his temples in frustration. ""I swear, one of these days... This job is going to kill me."" He groaned. He kicked his feet up and onto the top of his desk, leaning backwards. ""Business is good, but... It's definitely not going to stay this way forever."" Mateusz was the CEO os Poznan Engineering Works, one of the largest arms manufacturers and military R&amp;D corporations in Poland. Most of the industry itself was privatized, rather than being controlled by the national government, although it was highly regulated. Mateusz himself, though, had an appearance that spoke to a special knack for business, and a sharp, learned intelligence that greatly benefitted his research. He was always, in public, almost always dressed in one of his many suits with a watch on his wrist. Mateusz was far older than most of his employees at fifty-five years old. Still, though, he was always sure to kept healthy, and certainly wasn't looking forward to giving up his company. It was his brainchild -- his own creation -- and he was the man that led it to success.  Poznań Engineering Works (PEW) produced many products, from electronics to aircraft, but the industry they excelled most in was the arms industry. Whether it was a rifle or an APC, one of the many companies PEW had acquired could likely produce it. They were not a monopoly, but they were still the largest player in Poland's arms industry. <br/><br/>Mateusz sighed again, groaning as he rose to his feet and turned around. He took a few steps forward and looked out his office's window, and down onto the city below. ""I can't give up yet, though. Places to be, things to do, people to meet. Same old, same old."" He brushed his graying hair out of his blue eyes, looking upwards to an aircraft flying overhead. ""The same old propeller aircraft, for the past few dozen years... How long will people be satisfied with the same technology? Jets are just too expensive to be feasible, but there -has- to be something else."" Indeed, Mateusz was a strong believer in the power of air superiority, but a country with the size, population, and natural resources of the Slavic Union simply lacked the industrial strength to achieve it. Overburdened by immigrants and lacking a sufficiently large military to protect its land, the (former) government of Poland struggled constantly to keep afloat, as did its businessmen.  <br/><br/>""We're surrounded on all sides by potential enemies... Prussia, Serbia, what remains of Russia -- and, at this rate, eventually China."" He chuckled softly, sitting himself back down in his chair. ""I suppose I should get back to work.""</div>"

In front of her was a plastic desk, where a fat stack of documents sat neat and organized next to a half-drank glass of dark red wine. She had been reading the evacuation plan for Djibouti with partial disinterest. It was important, she knew, but her mind was elsewhere. She was thinking about her brother, and how she had left him. She knew Yaqob was disappointed that she would not go to China, and that bothered her. This visit to their neighbors in the south was no routine call. She was fleeing their enemies, she knew, and leaving Yaqob to face the storm alone. It made her feel... lesser, somehow. She was a partner to her brother in this government that they had made. To flee it could not be right. If she hadn't left at the order of her brother, she would have considered her flight treason.<br/><br/>She wore a long open crimson coat trimmed with intricate embroidered golden knots. Below that she wore a more modern black pants suit. Her hair was pulled back along her head in tight ridges and tied so that a wiry thicket of hair seemed to explode from the back of her head. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Buses will take the refugees of the city to a meeting point outside of the city.</span> the document read, <span class=""bb-i"">From there, further transportation will take the refugees to centers in Harar and Addis Ababa.</span><br/><br/>This move was wasted energy. She could not help but think of it any other way. It was a noble waste, to be sure, but the Spanish were not simply taking the Red Sea so that they could bomb Djibouti and leave. The people who fled from Djibouti now would just be fleeing again in a month. Where would they go then? Africa was big, but even big places could lack a place to flee to. The villages and sparse towns that dotted the land between Addis Ababa and Kinshasa could not care for so many people.<br/><br/>And besides that, it was all too short term. If they managed to save half of the population of Djibouti, that would be an astounding feat.<br/><br/>She rubbed her head and flipped the document off of the stack. The next one was a report on the British invasion of Africa. That would be a sticking point in her talks with Dar es Salaam. Nobody knew what the British intended to do here, and Tanganyika-Mozambique's southern border touched embattled South Africa.<br/><br/>They had too little information to make any sense of South African conflict. There was a single photo, taken in black and white from the shoreline near where the British had made their beachhead. It was fuzzy and difficult to interpret. Somebody had written <span class=""bb-i"">'British frigates at Cape Town, Battle Of'</span> across the top of the photograph in a bold, thick-lined hand. That wasn't what she saw. To her, it did not look like a British invasion. It looked like beetles crawling across grey grained dunes. Or maybe stones rolling down a hill. It was hard to tell. She stuck it back in its file and leaned back to stretch.<br/><br/>Outside the porthole window, she watched thick fleece clouds pass across a sunset sky the color of marmalade. On the ground below, she could make out the rolling savannah of Swahililand framed by tangerine haze like a mirage sitting on the floor of the sky. They were somewhere near Nairobi, she assumed. It would not be long now and they would be in the airspace of Tanganyika-Mozambique. She was sitting on the left side of the plane, and it dawned on her that she was looking east now. East, toward Somalia, and Persia, and China. That was where her brother had wanted her. That was where her adopted son Olivier was now.<br/><br/>Had she abandoned him, her child? The thought made her feel unclean. It was true she was often too busy to be a parent to her adopted son, but that could not be helped. She had hired nanny's to care for him when she was away. He would have the Queen with him now, Taytu's own sister-in-law, but that did not make her feel any better about it. Had she saved the child from the mess Hassan made in Katanga only to abandon him half-way across the world? She had to shake this line of thinking. He was fine, she told herself, and she had work to do. She reopened the British file and pulled out a map.<br/><br/>The map showed the extend of the British Empire before it began to crumble after the First World War. This was land, she knew, that the British could threaten to claim. It included South Africa of course, and Botswana and Zambia as well. Ethiopia had no innate responsibilities to any of those countries, but that was not what disturbed her or her office about this information. Sudan had once been a British colony, as had Swahililand and some parts of Somalia. There was a strong danger that the British would align with Spain and make an attempt to reclaim that territory. <br/><br/>But would the Spaniards chose to share? That thought was where their best hope lay. Spanish hegemony would be challenged by an ascendent British Empire. If Sotelo wanted the Pan-African Empire as a Spanish colony, what was the chance they would share?<br/><br/>The rest of the file were reports on the economic and technical capabilities of the British Empire, or at least as much as the Walinzi were able to discover. <br/><br/>There was something dangerous hiding under the skin of these wars. European resurgence was not simply a continent getting back on track. The people of Europe saw themselves as the God-chosen rulers of the world. To them, their decline was not simple economics. It was an insult. It was the barbarians at the gates laughing at their fathers. It was one hundred years of helpless humiliation, and the rage that came from such things. Europe was a bomb set to explode. It was blood and murder in the streets of every people who had taken part in that insult. Death to the Africans, nearby and nearly helpless. Death the the Muslims and the Hindu's. And, most of all, death to the eastern communists. Spain had showed them what Europe could do, but the silence of the other countries did not mean they were dead. Revanchist Britain was only a second taste. Who would be next? France? The Germans with their new King?<br/><br/>Britain was the first nation on the Western Front of the Great War to return to power. Spain had avoided involvement in that conflict, and though Ethiopia had played their part, Taytu's grandfather had used that war to expand the power of their people. Britain's situation had been different. They had lost most of a generation in the trenches of France and Belgium. Their colonies broke away, and a cohort of young widows brought independence to Ireland. The depression that followed the war was worsened by the fact that the working men of Europe were buried and dead. Localization followed. Anarchy. A new dark age. <br/><br/>The last few decades were not but political turmoil for them. Murder and dirty politicking. The monarchs fled for a time, leaving their home shattered and desperate. That world was the world that the current generation of Britons grew up with. Shame, fear, and a longing for the time of their grandfathers. That was the most dangerous thing of all. A good time to be alive is one where a person looks at the lives of their grandparents with a sense that they had built something on top of that legacy. In lean times, they might begin to feel a sort of cross-generational camaraderie with them, feeling like they understood the difficulties of their time. But when men look back at their grandparents and envy them, revolution comes next. This British Invasion was just that. A people revolting against the new world, where the the Empire of their fore-bearers was not supposed to be.<br/><br/>She had fallen deep into her own thoughts, until all that she sensed in the world was the soft creme blur of the airplane's cabin and the low purr of its engines. When she snapped out of it, she felt tired. Pillars of ivory light came through the porthole windows, projecting the flickering shadows of clouds across the cabin. It was peaceful here, so far above the earth. It was the quiet before the storm, she knew, but for a moment she could not help but feel calm. Calm, warm, and tired...<br/><br/>...It was the pilot who woke her up, shaking her by the shoulder. ""Princess."" he said at first. ""Miss Secretary. We have arrived.""<br/><br/>She looked out the window and found that it was true. They were on the ground now, a half-lit airport surrounding them. Her orange colored skies had turned a fading purple, and the first few stars had began to appear. Dar es Salaam surrounded it, though it was no more than the scant shadow of a true modern city. She could only see a few short buildings poking up over the brush that surrounded the airport, and those few were dark. Only a handful of streetlamps gave light to the city, and those few burn a dull orange. She could hear nothing of the world outside, only overheard fans blowing soft cool air into the cabin. Next to the pilot stood the single Walinzi agent who had been sent to escort her. He was a broad shouldered fighter of a man, most of his body cloaked by an ink-black trench coat. His hair was cut so short that it looked painted on.<br/><br/>""Let me get presentable."" She said, gently patting the puff of hair at the back of her head. She stood up, tugged at her jacket, and slipped into the closet-sized bathroom at the side of the plane. She washed her face and attended to her hair. The room hardly afforded her space to move, squeezing her between the sink, a toiler, and a handful of cabinets clasped shut so they don't open when the plane is in motion. Still, she managed to move enough to adjust her clothes and spritz a small amount of floral perfume before she rejoined her two-man entourage.<br/><br/>When the door hissed open, she felt the humid heat of Tanganyika wash across her face. They descended onto the cracked tarmac alone. That was passing strange. She could see a car waiting for them on the other side of the asphalt, but nobody had came out to meet with them. She couldn't help but feel nervous as they passed across the long stretch of darkness between them and the people who had came for them. Were they being cautious, now that a war was on? As she considered it, she began to feel like coming to Tanganyika had been a better idea that she realized. They must be anxious about their relations with Ethiopia now that the war was on.<br/><br/>""Secretary Taytu"" a voice called out from the Tanganyikans, cold and professional. The headlights of an idling sedan glared blindingly behind them, so that all Taytu could see was their silhouettes and the outlines of their faces. There was something wrong here. A sinister tension filled the encounter. Wasn't this supposed to be a greeting. Her heart started to beat faster, and she worried that her anxiety would be painted on her face. <br/><br/>""Friends"" the Walinzi agent called out. ""Can you dim those lights. I don't want to be seeing dots when I sleep.""<br/><br/>""Secretary Taytu."" the cold voice said again. ""You are under arrest for inciting political disunity. You will be treated cordially, as befits your station.""<br/><br/>What? Her heart skipped a beat. Time seemed to stop for a moment. Arrest? Tanganyika was Ethiopia's staunch ally. Shadows moved in from the harsh yellow light. Men who meant to capture her. Her feet told her to flee, but that did not make sense. Tanganyika had been freed from colonialism by Yaqob's dealings in Europe. They were friends, these two brother nations. What had happened? Had Ethiopia already lost the war? Was her brother already in Sotelo's lap? Besides, she was a diplomat.<br/><br/>""I have diplomatic immun..."" she began to say. She stopped when she saw the Walinzi agent reach under his coat. A new sense of horror washed over her, more urgent than the last now her life was on the line. She wanted to scream for him to stop, but there was no time. When he reached, men began to shout and shuffle all around them. She felt a man bump into her as he rushed for the Walinzi agent. The air went out of her. And that was when she heard the gun shot. It was louder than she thought a gun could be, like a bomb went off only a few feet in front of her. She felt tears on her cheeks. Tears, but was she crying? Not tears, and not sweat, she realized. Blood.<br/><br/>The Walinzi agent fell to the ground. There was an ugly hole in his temple, and his blood drained out of him so quickly that it looked like red water flowing from a faucet. The pool under his empty face spread quick across the pocked asphalt. <br/><br/>It was <span class=""bb-i"">his</span> blood on her face, and the horror of that overwhelmed her. She screamed so loud and so shrill that she could feel the force of it scraping violently across her throat. They began to escort her to the car. ""I have diplomatic immunity!"" she began to chant. ""I have diplomatic immunity!""<br/><br/>""Shit, what do we do?"" she heard one Tanganyikan ask another. ""That man is dead, that man is dead!""<br/><br/>""He reached for his gun."" the other man said. ""We had every right.""<br/><br/>She could still feel the blood on her face as they began to drive. What was this? She still couldn't process it. She had diplomatic immunity. A horrifying thought occurred to her as she sat in the back seat, watching night-darkened buildings go by. Were they delivering her to Spanish agents? Was she going to die tonight? She watched buildings go by, waiting to see if one was flying the flag of Spain.<br/></div>"

Even in the chilled air of the pre-dusk desert, beads of sweat formed on the fringes of the mop of curly hair upon his head. His teeth gritted as his companion Joaquin helped him to raise that cumbersome wooden container.<br/><br/>""Breathe."" Joaquin grunted, struggling with the same wooden box, recognizing by his puffed cheeks and red face that Julio was unfamiliar with heavy lifting. ""You're going to give yourself hemorrhoids.""<br/><br/>Spittles of saliva flew away from the exiled senator's pursed lips as he exhaled, readjusting his grip and shuffling about to a more comfortable position.<br/><br/>""One, two..., three!""<br/><br/>Julio lifted his end and shoved the crate onto the shelf formed by the pickup truck's lowered tailgate. With a final push, Joaquin and Julio forced the crate against the cab, affording the exhausted senator a chance to sigh and wipe his brow.<br/><br/>""How can one crate be so heavy?"" Julio exclaimed in between huffs, his chest expanding and contracting from the exertion. ""What the Hell is in there?""<br/><br/>""Heavy artillery, I'd imagine."" Joaquin pointed at the bold Chinese lettering stamped in thick black paint on the topside of the crate. Out of curiousity, Julio hopped into the bed of rusting truck - the suspension creaking in annoyance underneath him - and slid the top off of the crate to get a glimpse inside. Nestled in neat rows amongst wads of packing cotton were at least a dozen long, slender rockets. Julio's eyes widened as Joaquin let out a sharp whistle of surprise.<br/><br/>""A good thing we didn't drop them."" Julio added as he replaced the crate's cover - far more gingerly than he'd yanked it off.<br/><br/>""I imagine the government would really like to know how those got inside their third of the continent - this far into their backyard.""<br/><br/>""The desert."" Julio surmised. ""A million soldiers couldn't adequately cover the Saharan frontier. It would not surprise me that the Ethiopians have been supplying dissident nomads with Chinese arms with the intent of destabilizing the government... only that they could get something this heavy over so much inhospitable terrain.""<br/><br/>""That's what I'd call conviction, right there."" Joaquin added. ""When someone's willing to haul something this goddamn heavy across the Sahara just for the chance to cause you some trouble, you know they have it out for you.""<br/><br/>As Julio gathered his breath, he became aware of the buzz of activity in the oasis encampment. The dim pre-dawn glow of the sun inching upward somewhere beyond the eastern horizon afforded only barely enough light to see, but the sensation of activity could be felt in the very air. Harried footsteps crunching through gravel and sand indicted that their Tuareg hosts were about. Dejene, the Ethiopian adviser to the Tuareg warriors, had woken the Spaniards well before the dawn in the interest of preparing for the bloody day that was to come. But the Tuareg had risen just as early as their Spanish guests, if not earlier. In the dimmest light filtering through the fronds of the oasis-side palms, the Tuareg were almost invisible; clad in blue and black robes like beings from another epoch, they trudged quietly through the camp. Fellow Spaniards, survivors from the crashed plane, seemed to be joining them now as well in filtering through to the nexus of the Bedouin camp.<br/><br/>""Come with us,"" A voice in Spanish called to Julio and Joaquin over the footsteps and groaning of camels. ""The Amghar has something to say, we can continue packing later.""<br/><br/>Without protest, Julio hopped off the truck bed and followed in behind Joaquin and another three of his countrymen. Though it could hardly be seen, the very air quivered with life. The tents and tarps rustled and shuddered as the occupants within prepared themselves for battle. The goats and camels grew restless too, almost as if protesting vainly against the building tension. Murmurs of the local tongue mingled with the glassy sound of water falling from the canyon rocks into the oasis as Julio and his companions pressed forward.<br/><br/>A substantial throng formed around the outskirts of the greatest of the encampment's tents - that belonging to the Amghar. At the front of the tent was a single palm oil torch planted in the gravel - the only source of light in the entire camp. The Tuareg were immensely cautious with any illumination during the dark hours of the night, and rightly so. Occasionally, the distant roar of gunships prowling in the night served as a grim reminder that the Spanish military was actively hunting them beyond the safety of their hidden oasis. The errant glow of a single lantern or torch could spell disaster for them all.<br/><br/>Standing in the flickering glow of that torch was the Amghar, the lord of the Bedouin tribe. The ancient, wizened Saracen stood stoically at the head of the gathering. Blue eyes clouded and abraded by a lifetime in the sand scanned methodically over the heads of his clansmen and the Spaniards his people had rescued. A dark blue robe drooped over wide shoulders; his leathery hands perched upon the pommel of a straight-bladed takouba pointed down into the Earth. His countrymen waited in reverent silence for their leader's words.<br/><br/>Standing off to the Amghar's right were Dejene and Graciela. A Tuareg chieftan, an Ethiopian soldier, and a Spanish woman - as unlikely a trio as any, they seemed to serve as the leadership around the camp. The Amghar and Dejene's partnership made some sense, but how Graciela had come to assist this band of Tuaregs in a remote corner of the Atlas Mountains was unclear. Rumors concerning her motives were rife through the Spaniards, but the consensus was that she was a political dissident. Rather than allow herself to be imprisoned in Arratzu, she found her way to the Tuaregs and found her calling in fighting directly against the regime of Alfonso Sotelo. Her loyalty to the cause never seemed to be contested. In spite of their disparate backgrounds, they shared one uniting aim: the end of the Second Spanish Republic.<br/><br/>Without warning, the Amghar began in a raspy dialect of Arabic. For the benefit of the Spaniards, Dejene proceeded to interpret in Castillian.<br/><br/>""A bloody day comes with this sun. When it departs from this land in the dusk, it will set upon a desert watered in the blood of infidels. The marauders will be left utterly crushed; their crimes against our people repaid many times over. We will go to their mountain - through the faith of our people and our skill with the sword and gun we will slaughter those who would destroy us. Those who would bury our very memory like refuse in the sand. We will make a mighty fool of the Dajjal Sotelo - we will give him a black eye today and show him to the world as the sower of misery and lies.""<br/><br/>The Amghar looked across the masses, eying the Spaniards out for many seconds in silence as he thought of what he would say next. The cloudy blue eyes of the Tuareg lord fell upon Julio as he continued again in Arabic. Dejene resumed translating.<br/><br/>""You foreigners, people of Hispanistan, know this: when you arrived in this land, I did not trust you. The warriors of Hispanistan have committed a heinous evil against my people. Many years ago, our people were many; we inhabited this land as our fathers and their fathers had since the age of the Prophet, until Hispanistan came to call this land its own. Oil was found and your masters were avaricious. They killed our people as one would with vermin, they would sooner erase the memory of the Tuareg before they shared the treasure beneath our homeland. It was my fear that you were here to assist them in evicting our people from this homeland, and I was prepared to repay the infidels for the murder of one hundred kinsmen.<br/><br/>""But she advised me against it."" The Amghar gestured to Graciela with an open hand. ""She has recounted unto me the circumstances that brought you to us. Like her, I understand that each of you is an enemy of the Dajjal. You have been tortured, questioned, and beaten by the same infidel who have nearly destroyed my people. It was she that persuaded me to spare the lives of each of you, on the condition that you would join us in rectifying what has been meted out against us. The hour to recompense our hospitality has arrived.""<br/><br/>""In the Hispanistani tongue, they call it 'La Cabeza'. Beneath this mountain they have built a great fortress. Our scouts may only steal glimpses of it from a great distance, so mightily it is defended. But from what we know of it, it is a redoubtable thing indeed. Aircraft arrive there by the half dozen every day, trains arrive more frequently by the week. And inside of its confines, we know they have many of our people that they have captured. I fear gravely for their safety, and I shall not rest until my people are freed from that monstrous place.""<br/><br/>""Indeed, we are few in number against a foe of great menace. Recount, those of weak heart, the Prophet and the brave first muslims. Recount how through tact and the grace of Allah they repelled the might of Meccah. We are but a thousand against the might of Hispanistan, but we have the will of Allah on our side and that is worth more than a hundred thousand fighters!""<br/><br/>""Takbir!"" A voice crowed out from amongst the Bedouin.<br/><br/>""ALLAHU AKBAR!"" The Tuareg chanted in unison.<br/><br/>The Amghar glanced to Graciela once again. ""The Hispanistani woman has crafted a plan that will allow us to secure victory - a diversion. We will bait the aircraft that hunt us so doggedly... and capture it! As many of our fiercest warriors as the machine will carry, they will fly into the heart of that place and begin the attack from within. They will sew confusion amongst the ranks of the enemy while the brunt of our warriors ride in amongst the chaos. The history of the Tuareg hinges on this day, brothers! We will free our kin and send the infidel screaming into Haawiyah!""<br/><br/>""ALLAHU AKBAR!"" The Bedouin cried once more. The orange rays of the sun at last peered over the ridges of jagged rock above the oasis, shimmering and glinting against the sharpened takoubas the Bedouin pointed skyward. ""ALLAHU AKBAR!""<br/><br/>With that, the Bedouin army wordlessly dismissed itself, chanting the takbir over and over as they marched out into the canyons to battle. They brushed and jostled past Julio, who stood dumbfounded. <span class=""bb-i"">That</span> was the master plan? Steal a Spanish gunship and hope it would be enough of a distraction so that the remainder of the Tuareg could charge in with guns blazing? Julio was extremely dubious about how much damage a handful of camel-riding nomad armed with Great War firearms and rocket launcher technicals could inflict against the Spanish fortress embedded inside of a mountain. The notion of slipping away and escaping into the canyons while the Bedouin rushed off into certain death was becoming increasingly enticing. That is, until a rough black hand seized his shoulder. He spun around to find Dejene immediately behind him.<br/><br/>""Graciela needs you,"" the Ethiopian commanded over the chanting, ""come with me.""</div>"

The community wasn't much to look at, a few stop signs on the main road with a red light in the main intersection downtown. There were a dozen few grocery stores and shopping centers to serve the bedroom town's residents, almost all of them traveling to Washington through the week.   The driver of the lead car followed the written directions given to him and took a right at the first stop sign after the red light. He mumbled under his breath in Portuguese, counting the numbers on the mailboxes next to the street. He pulled the front car up to the two-story colonial style home with white pain and scarlet trim. A few words were passed, again in Portuguese, between the driver and the car's passengers. Satisfied, two people stepped out the back of the car and exchanged looks. They were both high-ranking diplomats of Brazil. Adelina Moreno, the Republic's foreign minister, and the Republic's US ambassador Luis Geraldo. This modest home and sleepy town seemed to be a less than fitting place to hold diplomatic negotiations, but it was not an ordinary diplomatic meeting. The door to the house opened, and the two diplomats and their three staff members in the rear car were beckoned inside.<br/><br/>""Americans,"" Moreno instinctively thought to herself. Nowhere else in the world could you find a more tranquil environment, the two wars of the last decade notwithstanding. Though many cities still bore some marks from these conflicts, towns like these made you forget all about them. It had all the hallmarks of the growing suburbs around the cities at home, though she was certain that America would have nothing parallel to the favelas within its inner cities.<br/><br/>Not that those uniquely Brazilian shantytowns were a good thing.<br/><br/>As she and Geraldo filed into the home that by her standards was fairly comfortable and passed through the foyer, she was met with the sight of a waiting party of three people. A middle-aged woman in a navy blue blouse and matching skirt, a younger woman in a black pants suit and white blouse, and a gray-haired man in a pinstripe three-piece suit and thick glasses.<br/><br/>""Minister Moreno, Ambassador Geraldo,"" Secretary of State Lillian Mather said with a polite bow. ""Welcome to my home. Allow me to introduce my husband, Gregory, and my aide Liza Weld.""<br/><br/>Gregory Mather and Liza Weld followed Lillian's lead and bowed to their guests. <br/><br/>""I hope my home is to your liking,"" said Mather. ""It's not exactly the White House but Gregory and I try our best.""<br/><br/>""Absolutely."" responded Moreno, as she cast her gaze about her surroundings before returning to eye contact with the Secretary of State. ""I have always valued a more casual environment for this sort of talk, as official gatherings often grow far too stuffy. Then again, perhaps those of us in tropical countries take everything a bit less seriously."" She laughed. ""Allow me to introduce my colleague, Ambassador Geraldo, chief diplomat to the United States for three years now, is that right?"" Geraldo nodded. They both bowed in return.<br/><br/>Lillian politely invited them to sit in a few comfortable chairs surrounding a table in their living room, and allowed Adelina the courtesy of beginning the conversation.<br/><br/>""Madam Secretary of State, as you undoubtedly know all too well, the world has become increasingly unstable of late. The Spanish invasion of Ethiopia, which both our nations stand against, has the potential to escalate into a crisis of massive proportions, and potentially bring us to the precipice of a second Great War. This concerns me and President Claro greatly."" She paused for a few moments to let her words sink in. ""I have always felt that the Americas should take steps to avoid the same instability which so plagues Europe, Asia and Africa. It has been four years since the end of the Second North American War, and we hopefully stand on the eve of a new age of peace. The purpose of my visit is purely to foster good relations and cooperation between our two nations in the hope of achieving that end.""<br/><br/>""The president is all in favor of stronger ties with all of Central and South American,"" Lillian said with a polite nod. ""But he recognizes Brazil as the preeminent region power in South America. Our two countries should be linked arm in arm to preserve the Americas from outside influence."" <br/><br/>A servant entered the room carrying a silver platter with tumblers of scotch in them.<br/><br/>""I know Ambassador Geraldo is a scotch man,"" Lillian said with a glance towards Moreno. ""I wasn't sure on your preference, madam minister so you will have to forgive me if you don't care for it.""<br/><br/>""I've always preferred wine, but there is certainly nothing wrong with a fine glass of scotch, Secretary Mather. Thank you for your hospitality,"" Adelina responded.<br/><br/>The secretary of state plucked a glass from the platter as it passed by and held it in her grasp. <br/><br/>""The thing that the White House, and by extension the State Department, is most curious in is the upcoming elections. What's your take on how the vote will go?""<br/><br/>The minister took a careful sip of her scotch before replying.<br/><br/>""It is a very close call, but I'm confident that President Claro will succeed. Incumbents naturally have an advantage, and his vision for our nation's future is hardly tarnished. Still, there is a good deal of public resentment towards the leftward turn we have been taking.""<br/><br/>""Not that it matters much to me, as Senator Bela has assured me I will retain my post regardless. She is as anti-Spanish and Chinese alike as Claro ever was."" She broke into a light, lilting laugh.<br/><br/>""I'm glad that the senator has every intention of keeping you in your post should she win the election. I've been a victim of administration changes in the past and I know that it can be frustrating.""<br/><br/>One of the household staff announced dinner was ready. In the dining room the two mini-delegations sat down for a meal of prime rib, mashed potatoes, and a helping of mixed vegetables. A simple meal for what was a low-key affair. At the two heads of the table sat Moreno and Lillian. The American staff were on the right, the Brazilians on the left.<br/><br/>""I've been given assurances from President Norman,"" Lillian said between bites of food. ""Once the election is over and the winner is sworn in, he'll invite them to DC for an official state dinner and a weekend of diplomatic talks. We want to develop a diplomatic gameplan between our two nations as uncertainty abounds in Europe, Asia, and Africa. We want the Americas to be the bastion of sanity in the world, and the only way to do that is for the two biggest nations in the hemisphere to work together.""<br/><br/>Moreno dabbed her face with a napkin before responding. ""I think that is a very wise course of action. I will relay your intentions to Brasilia, and I am confident either the President or Bela will agree with your proposal.""<br/><br/>""The most important thing in diplomacy, I find, is planning. Even if great change or extenuating circumstances arise, planning greatly assists in allowing us to react and determine a new course of action. It is imperative that we develop such a plan regarding the Americas for this new decade.""<br/><br/>""Excellent,"" said Lillian. ""I'd love to hear more about your plans after dinner, Madam Minister. The president is something of a data junkie. I suppose that's a side effect of being in the military. They like to have as much information as possible before acting.""<br/><br/>The Secretary of State took a polite bite of her prime rib while the conversation between the diplomats shifted towards apolitical talk.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b""><span class=""bb-i"">-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil-</span></span><br/><br/>""The time has come, my fellow Brazilians!"" The crowd cheered, as Senator Bela spoke defiantly from her podium.<br/><br/>""President Claro has, for the last four years, baited the people of this nation with the promise of free handouts while the nation slides further and further into debt.<br/><br/>He has given the state-owned corporations the same free ride, letting them sit on enormous piles of cash while our treasury drains.""<br/><br/>""Enough, I say! I promise that in the first hundred days of taking office, I will cut the fat and corruption of the state-owned industry and use our rightfully earned profits to reduce income taxes by five percent for every Brazilian!""<br/><br/>The crowd rose in a standing ovation. A few Claro supporters yelled in protest, but their numbers were barely significant in the sheer size of the crowd. As the election progressed, it became more and more clear whose vision truly inspired the people.</div>"

It was a humid, still air infused with the smell of unburned diesel and acrid smoke; the lingering odor of destruction. The Bab el Mandeb reeked of it. Yesterday, the Fuerza Aerea destroyed here what paltry remnants of a navy the Ethiopian Empire possessed. The territorial waters of the Empire were defenseless; the Spanish Armada steamed into the Gulf of Aden unopposed a mere sixty knots from the vital Ethiopian port of Jibuti.<br/><br/>Above Luis Morazan's head, the heavy guns of the <span class=""bb-i"">Golondrina</span> inched by, ticking audibly as the turret ratcheted into position. Inside of an hour, the vanguard of the Spanish fleet would be within thirty knots of Jibuti - firing range of the cruiser's main armaments - and already the guns were being trained toward the city. Luis too was in the process of readying for battle - he and his platoon had been issued the equipment and gear they would be carrying into combat only minutes before. A backpack full of all manner of campaign essentials jingled and bounced against his back as he followed behind one Lieutenant Ayesta to the armored watercraft dangling alongside the hull of the cruiser. Along the midship flanks of the <span class=""bb-i"">Golondrina</span> were four landing boats hanging from booms just off of the ship on steel cables. Deckhands ferried supplies from the cruiseer onto the landing craft by way of a short aluminum gangplank as the four platoons being ferried by the <span class=""bb-i"">Golondrina</span> gathered at their assigned boats.<br/><br/>The Spanish landing craft seemed more like something that would move on treads or wheels than any boat. They were quite blocky, so much so that they looked as if they would sink like the bricks they resembled if they were ever lowered into the sea they were suspended over. They were essentially flat-bottomed barges with tall hulls, hopefully of a thickness sufficient to stop a bullet. A parapetted steering column was positioned above the passenger deck in the rear of the boat off to the left; to the right of the driver's post was a small machine gun nest that would provide enough suppressive fire to allow the infantry within to disembark from a ramp in the front.<br/><br/>""Here's how this is going work."" Ayesta declared casually as he parked the twenty soldiers in tow behind him before the gangplank of their landing boat. ""When we're given the order to deploy, you make your way to this point right here and step on over into the passenger deck in an <span class=""bb-i"">orderly</span> fashion. We're not leaving without you, so step aboard in a civilized manner, get cozy in there, and wait to get lowered down. Once we're in the water, this boat is going to gun it for the beach. Once the ramp comes down, get to terra firma and get to cover. We have air and naval superiority over the enemy, but we will be fighting on their own soil. The intelligence grapevine suggests that the defense will be personally led by one of their more seasoned commanders, and we are to expect heavy resistance. Remember your training, and we'll all be coming home.""<br/><br/>A distant rumbling on the horizon drew the attention of some of the soldiers.<br/><br/>""Shelling,"" Hector thought out loud, ""I hear shelling.""<br/><br/>""Thunder."" Ayesta corrected, pointing over the platoon's heads to the east. There, hanging against a backdrop of hazy cerulean, was a wall of dark, roiling thunderclouds rising into the very stratosphere. The swirling chasms and irregularities of the distant tempest flickered angrily as lightning flashed from deep within. The monsoon squall had seemingly shadowed the Spanish armada ever since it entered the Red Sea. For a week, Spanish meteorologists tracked the squall as it crept southward across the Gulf of Arabia, gathering moisture and strength over the warm seas as it lumbered toward Africa. And now, it threatened to make its landfall late that night - mere hours before the Spanish were to make their landings.<br/><br/>Another rumbling, followed shortly thereafter by another two percussive blasts. Luis knew full well that this was not thunder when Ayesta's  typically-lackadaisical expression very suddenly became much more grave. Hector was right, there was gunfight taking place in the distance. As if to confirm this, the klaxons of the vessel's PA speakers roared to life, warning all hands that hostilities had commenced.<br/><br/>""Battle positions!"" Ayesta ordered over the warbling drone of the sirens, leading his men from the landing boats up to their positions near the prow of the cruiser. As they had during the Battle of Port Said, the soldiers butted themselves up against the railing lip at <span class=""bb-i"">Golondrina's</span> fore and peered out over the water, the barrels of their weapons resting against the railing. Naval personnel assumed control of the deck gun behind Luis.<br/><br/>""Hostile contacts at the two o'clock position!"" Luis heard one of the deckhands manning the cannon shout out. He looked out before the ship and off to the right - the reported whereabouts of the Ethiopian attackers. There, steaming northward across the straits, was a gaggle of vessels of varying sizes and shapes. Most were very small - smaller than Luis could expect even the smallest torpedo boat to be. If he were forced to identify these distant vessels, he would say most of them appeared to be fishing trawlers or ferries. Some were nothing more than metal boats affixed with outboard engines.<br/><br/>""Fire at will!"" Screamed one of the men manning the deck gun. The cannon acknowledged the order with three thunderous blasts, one right after the other. In the distance, Luis watched as geysers of white, pulverized water shot skyward around the enemy vessels as the rounds slammed into the water around the vessels. The air resounded with the whistling of shells tearing through the air around them as Luis and his companions regained their hearing following the salvo being fired just behind them. Two other cruisers were now opening fire - flashes and puffs of smoke materialized on the bow of the nearby cruiser <span class=""bb-i"">Hechizada</span> seconds before the concussive bursts reached Luis' eardrums.<br/><br/>The rounds from the sister cruiser found their mark: a deck gun shell tore what appeared to be a fishing vessel into a cloud of shredded debris and dust. Luis cringed as the boat collapsed into the sea; despite watching it unfold from a great distance away, he was certain that he could see bodies flung about like ragdolls into the water. The smaller, more maneuverable boats turned away and scattered toward the Yemeni coast from the approaching Spanish warships, the larger boats were unable to escape.<br/><br/>""They're refugees."" Luis groaned as shells continued whistling through the air. ""Why are we shooting them?""<br/><br/>""That's exactly what they want you to think, Luis."" Lieutenant Ayesta declared, pausing as the deck gun behind them shot off another five rounds at the slower ships trapped in the path of the Spanish armada. ""They want us to think that they're civilians trying to flee the country - so they can drop sea mines in our path. Never underestimate the lengths to which a desperate defender will go to survive.""<br/><br/>""Fuck them anyway, even if they are refugees. They had their chance to escape this mess when Yaqob got into bed with the Chinks."" Hector snarled, watching as a ferry burst into flames from a shell impact. ""Better dead than red.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Excerpt from Fuerza Aerea Communique to the Oficina de Intelegencia Militar</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Aerial Combat Incident Report</span><br/><br/>Issue Serial: 6.102<br/>Incident Date(s): 4 June, 1980<br/>Mission Classification: Reconnaissance, Interception<br/>Personnel Involved: Captain Bartolo Uriega, Fuerza Aerea 8th Division - 5th Fighter-Inceptor Squadron<br/>Incident Location: Gulf of Aden<br/>Actors Involved: Fuerza Aerea of the Second Spanish Republic, New People's China<br/>Assets Involved: AE13 Fantasma, Fuerza Aerea 8th Division - 5th Fighter-Inceptor Squadron<br/><br/>Weather: Clear skies and low pressure at incident locality and altitude. Aircraft struck by lightning during interception action prior to engagement. Lightning strike notable due to clear weather and failure of aircraft electrical systems. Cpt. Uriega made emergency landing at Abd al Kuri island and made repairs to electrical systems prior to engagement. (See Attachment: ACIR 6.101)<br/><br/>Incident Overview: Cpt. Uriega scrambled from the aircraft carrier <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira de Dios</span> in northern Red Sea via AE13 Fantasma jet-propelled fighter to gauge defensive capacities of the Pan-African Empire's Ethiopian and Somalian coasts beyond radar and propeller-propeller reconnaissance thresholds. At 1415 local time, Cpt. Uriega detected a single unarmed aircraft with heading of 80 degrees in the vicinity of the Somalian coast from Ethiopian airspace and proceeded to engage. A lightning strike and subsequent failure of electrical systems forced Cpt. Uriega to make an emergency landing on the Abd al Kuri island to facilitate repairs. Uriega was unable to relocate the target aircraft.<br/><br/>At 1605 local time, Cpt. Uriega encountered three jet-propelled aircraft moving into the vicinity at high speed with a heading of 30 degrees from Ethiopian airspace. Cpt. Uriega initiated hostilities with foreign aircraft. Combat between actors lasted for approximately 14 minutes, 830 rounds of 12.7x100mm ammunition were expended. Cpt. Uriega believes that one enemy plane was shot down, but was unable to conduct a thorough search for the unaccounted hostile plane. Uriega was struck twice by enemy machine gunfire - once in the distal shoulder and once in the upper back. The engagement concluded when the accounted hostile aircraft retreated from the vicinity into Ethiopian airspace. It is likely that the hostiles left the engagement due to low fuel rather than combat-related considerations. Cpt. Uriega returned to <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira de Dios</span> to refuel and seek medical attention. At 1807 local time, Cpt. Uriega deceased due to blood loss.<br/><br/>Incident Analysis: Bullet fragments recovered during the autopsy of Cpt. Uriega and within the AE13 Fantasma were found to be of a 13.0x102 caliber analogous to the Browning .50 caliber round. This bullet caliber does not correspond with any round of European, American, Ethiopian, or Persian manufacture. The bullets that killed Cpt. Uriega can likely only be of Chinese origin. Likewise, the industrial capacity of New People's China is thought to be the only one outside of the Second Spanish Republic capable of producing jet engines of any reliability. While it is distantly possible that the New People's China has provided jet fighter aircraft to the Pan-African Empire, the training regimen required to prepare Ethiopian pilots, mechanics, and engineers to operate efficiently with a Chinese jet aircraft would likely be very cumbersome. Far more likely, the New People's China has stationed their own fighters and pilots within the territory of the Pan-African Empire. It is abundantly clear that elements of the military forces of the Second Spanish Republic and New People's China have come into direct combat during this incident.<br/><br/>Recommended Actions/Corrections: Incident currently pending review by the Prime Minister. <br/><br/></div>"

Groggy, she rolled over, half covered in his blankets. Her head swam in a murky sea of confusion and emptiness. Beyond simply being tired. Half-assed she reached about, flailing a pale hand around for the clock causing such an offense. Though for her efforts she failed, instead falling limp on the floor, her hand catching the cold metal of the foot rest of her bed.<br/><br/>Though the fall was short and ended as quickly as it would come the process of coming down to the floor felt prolonged. The sweet stickiness of time froze solid and her eyes shot open to a violent explosion of color that tore all throughout her word. Horrifyingly every detail glowed with a golden light she couldn't believe existed. Even time seemed to have color.<br/><br/>Then her head cracked against the floor and the vibrancy imploded, shuddering itself away to simple shades illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window. Mei Tsu Mei bit her lip as she recoiled, squirming across the floor as her back landed full onto a cluttered stack of books. Their spines were not forgiving to her own and punched heavily into her back. Her breath twisted inside of her, clinging tightly to the back of her throat.<br/><br/>By the time it got out it trickled out in a low mutter and hissing string of curses.<br/><br/>She rolled off the books, hunched over on her hands and knees. With a soft thump a banana fell out from between her breasts where it had tucked safely in her bra. The sudden manifestation of the fruit inspired a blooming of curiosity. She rocked her memory trying to remember how it got there. Or why, for that matter.<br/><br/>She combed her memory. From somewhere on her back a bird chirped. But turning over to locate the intruder she discovered she was alone. Still confused she sat herself down. She was left in nothing but a bra and a pair of faux-American bluejeans.<br/><br/>Like a cold drizzle it started coming back. Mostly. Clouded in mud she could come to the terms of the situation and the implications there-of. She had chosen to visit the Cantina Madrid. The tacky consistency of her own thoughts was lended no doubt to a drop of acid. As were the mild hallucinations. Briefly this reconciled her, until she remembered her parents. It wasn't a weekend, if they found then there'd be questions with hard answers.<br/><br/>She hoped. She really, deeply hoped they hadn't noticed.<br/><br/>Laying on the floor, she strained her ears and to listen. To listen for silence. That disastrous sound of waiting to dispense justice. It took a moment for the bird to silence enough for her to hear. And from the other side of the door she heard the muffled chatter of her parents and the early morning radio programming her younger brother listened to. An early weekday morning episodic series. She failed to ever pay attention to it.<br/><br/>Relieved, she pulled herself up. Though with the fortune of having a room to herself, it was not much bigger than a cell in its self. A single glass window shone the light of a Hong Kong morning through to her room.<br/><br/>Basking in the cool sleepy light of morning the whole of the Tsuen Wan district unfolded outside her window. As small as the portal was, it was near enough to know what was going on outside. The curtains pulled aside opened it enough to see the packed twisting buildings that slithered alongside the roads as they wound through the craggy, stone hills. And even more beyond that the glimmer of the sea shone. Heavy clouds loomed over head, but she gave them no heed as she cast aside her pants, digging into the shallow closet for a new replacement, and a shirt to go with it.<br/><br/>She liked the foreign styles. She had been introduced to it when China briefly opened her doors to America briefly. The sorts of things the merchant sailors brought over in the brief economic partnerships captivated her in that brief fiery flash that was that political relationship. And when it had ceased she felt the sting.<br/><br/>She liked blue jeans. Though many were for men. But to wear them felt better than the typical dresses or skirts. And the sweaters and coats, in the few western magazines she had seen the women of America all had looked so good. But now those were gone, or at least the new editions. But she kept a reserve under her mattress to look at when there was nothing going on.<br/><br/>It was something she prided herself on. She prided over being different, open. Even the discovery of African delights was as much a revelation as America. She failed to know why some kept resilient to old dress. But when it came to her friends like Jin Feng she was tolerant.<br/><br/>She finished dressing herself, heading out through the door in a pair of second-hand pants she managed to barter off someone who says he bought it from a sailor. They were short, but they worked. And over the rest a too-large salmon sweater.<br/><br/>Opening the door and stepping out into the hall invited all the sounds of morning at once. The voices on the radio suddenly become louder and crisper, no longer muffled. The searing of pork in the pan rushed out from under the traded conversation of her parents as breakfast was prepared.<br/><br/>“Did you get Chen Wu-song's recommendations on applying towards being an autonomous zone?” her father asked, a brisk short man with a whiny voice. His balding head shone from the cool light coming in through the large windows that formed the face of their sitting room. A news paper rested in his hands, obscuring his face as he held it up.<br/><br/>“Why doesn't he just take it to the mayor first?” replied Mei's mother as she krept about the kitchen. Thin and tawdry. Her face was flushed with pale chalky makeup, and the curlers were still in her hair. Her fingers with her long nails held the battered spatula in her hands with an almost too-careful force to not break a nail.<br/><br/>Both working in the city administration, the two could get off with being more showy than both. But both still wore the same dusty-blue uniform. Little distinction of gender between the two.<br/><br/>“Because the way I hear it he wants internal support before he goes anywhere. So he won't approach the council of internal communes or the mayor's office if we don't encourage him.”<br/><br/>“I don't see why he even cares!” her mother huffed, not looking up to see her older daughter looming in the hall watching, squinting through the faint light, “Hong Kong's proposed to be wrapped into the Cantonese Autonomous Proposal.”<br/><br/>“Way I hear it, his wife put him up to it.”<br/><br/>“Stupid silly British women.” scowled her mother. She turned away from the oven to look over at her son who was sitting passively in the corner waiting. Passing over Mei her eyes grew wide and bright as she saw her.<br/><br/>“Oh Mei, you're awake!” she called, clapping her hands, “You couldn't wear anything better?” she criticized, thrusting the spatula out like a sword.<br/><br/>“Ah, no.” Mei admitted bluntly, walking out of the hall and past the small family shrine they kept opposite of the windows.<br/><br/>“Well, breakfast will be ready in a few.” she added, “So sit tight.”<br/><br/>“Your friend will no doubt be here soon to pick you up as well.” her father reminded, speaking of Pui Tui. His tone held no real opinion of him. If anything, he disapproved of his choice of transport, that Frankenstein truck of his.<br/><br/>“War's picking up it seems in Africa.” he continued, without skipping a beat, “Reports the Ethiopian navy got sunk off their coast.”<br/><br/>“Damnable Spanish.” her mother muttered. Hardly anything, hardly a word. Mei looked up knowing, she was in the mood to make her opinions known. But in no position to argue them.<br/><br/>“Well, what do you suppose we do?” Mei asked cautiously. In part she was afraid the effects of the LSD were still in play. And that if it were she was deeply afraid she was speaking in tongues.<br/><br/>They didn't catch anything, “That's not for me to decide.” her father grunted apathetically, “I don't know if we should honestly prop up another monarch. Cambodia's enough.”<br/><br/>“Blow them out of the water!” Mei's brother cheered. Mei Song-Wu. He was only eleven years old. Spirited, and chubby. The way he looked at everything in his eyes gave off the impression it was all a joke.<br/><br/>Mei's mother voiced no opinion on it. Mei knew it was to not step on her father's toes.<br/><br/>“Well perhaps when you go to try and blow the Spanish out of the water you can come home and protect Hong Kong from them.” Mei's father said in response, lowering the paper to look back at his son, “And I hear the Spanish are terrifying.<br/><br/>“Best let them rot in Africa, as some are saying.”<br/><br/>“That doesn't sound at all ad-” Mei started, feeling a fire of protest.<br/><br/>Her mother coughed, “Mei, Song-Wu.” she started, “Breakfast's ready. Come eat.” the announcement was the early death to the conversation.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Shenzhen, China</div><br/><br/>The gravel hissed softly, the truck breaking over head. Nestled in the pleasant hills of Shenzhen, north of Hong Kong stood a small house. A cottage. Laid down on the hill-side, looking back into the valley of hills that spanned beyond it. A small dirt road crawled by. A yard of nothing but dirt lead to the front stoop of the house. It had just rained, the sky had cleared and now the world sparkled with a newly whetted sheen.<br/><br/>Pui Tui was taking a personal gamble being here. It was high afternoon, back in school it was the lunch hour. If he couldn't make this fast that his absence would be noticed. For sure. Gripping the wheel of the modified work truck he took a deep sigh. The front door – and yard – of The Cashier's home was stark and empty. Barren of many comforting homely things. Perhaps it was the lack of weekend gamblers harrying around his door looking for a race to bet on or a game of Mahjong to cheat in.<br/><br/>But their absence meant it was peaceful. The barring laughter of half-drunks and victorious poker players left room in for the birds and the soft rush of the ocean-born wind, bringing in cool crisp air from over the island of Hong Kong. Should he have chosen to loiter in Kowloon there'd be the smell of cha siu bao – pork bun – and freshly baked cakes being served out to the dock workers.<br/><br/>And without the smell of oil and gasoline, and of harsh musk and cigarette smoke there was a certain purity here too in the smell. Much unlike the man behind those walls. Looking back, he considered heading back home. He could still make it. The police hardly ventured the hills and he could crank the horses in the engine that road covered in the truck's bed for as hard as they could go. The Cashier wouldn't know, and he could wait for the weekend.<br/><br/>But that'd mean negotiating drunks and racers. Gamblers who thought they might be able to win against him. Then he'd get shoehorned into another race, and probably win. Then he'd have more money that he'd be unable to spend, according to Yan Cong.<br/><br/>The money, it was the ultimate siren. It's call was damning and the sweetness of holding it too bitter. According to Cong, the state would find out too fast if he's living beyond his estimations. There had to be a loop hole. Somewhere.<br/><br/>Desperation to break the lock on the riddle over came him, and he popped open the door. With a hollow slam it shut behind the teenage as he walked across the muddy yard. Pulling the twists out of his cotton shirt. Adjusting the buttons. His shoes drummed against the graying wood as he ascended the front steps and in through the door.<br/><br/>Without its usual vultures the home was a morgue. Filled with a dim gray light streaming through the thin and filthy shades pulled shut over the windows. There was no need to turn the lights on. No need for the radio. The furniture sat along the edge of the room, stacked into semi-neat rows. The hard, bamboo floors swept clean of cigarette ash, mud, and blood. It was immaculate, but dead.<br/><br/>“H-hello?” Cong called out into the emptiness. He walked down the entrance hall. Straining his eyes as he looked into the cavernous shadows of shoe closet off to the side. Not a trace of light shone into the niche with its half-closed doors. The space looked more cavernous than it was. Like the rest of the home, the emptiness and dreary funerary air made the entire cottage feel larger than it was.<br/><br/>“What in Hell's name is going on?” a angered voice shouted. Cong froze, turning to the kitchen where the voice had rolled from. Through the door way stood the towering Cashier. An expression of deep distaste glowed in his eyes as he looked around the door frame.<br/><br/>“Oh for fuck sake.” he grumbled, “Why are you here?”<br/><br/>“I- uh, wanted to ask a question.” Cong asked carefully, “About my winnings, from the last race. And prior to that.”<br/><br/>“Yeah? What about them?” The Cashier spat, “And look kid, can't you see? I'm not taking guests. Not today. Your being here is a liability against me!” he walked out the kitchen. His gait wide. He rung a wet dish cloth over his hands as he came to bear down over Cong. His face sour and bitter as he scowled down, “And I really don't like this risk.” he hissed.<br/><br/>“You're lucky I won't break your neck right now.” he scowled, “You're one of my bigger winners, I'm getting jackasses as far north of Shanghai wanting to race the kid in 'The Tank' and offering to pay out for it.<br/><br/>“So for fuck's sake, ask it quick before the police wander by and see you.” he grumbled, looking up through the open front door. The heavily rebuilt Quilin truck hugging the shoulder between road and yard, crate planks stacked against the side to hide whatever was there. The mix-raced Cashier didn't care what was there, nor wanted to know. What he knew is that whatever it was, it won them both money.<br/><br/>And for the kid to come back asking...<br/><br/>“How am I supposed to use it?” Cong asked.<br/><br/>The question caught The Cashier by surprise, and his guard dropped, shoulder slacking. “Excuse me?” he mumbled.<br/><br/>“The money...” he said, “It's more than I or any of my family have likely ever had. But, I've been told that I might not be able to spend it and get away with it.”<br/><br/>“Shit.” the Cashier chuckled, his lips stretching to a wide eerie smile, “I don't fucking know nor care how the fuck clients spend that.” he sneered, “All I fucking know is they use it on shit that fucking Beijing or the city itself turns a blind eye too!<br/><br/>“Fucking opium, heroine, whores, black market booze and cigarettes. And this new 'LSD' shit.” He waved his hand dismissively, “I don't deal in that shit and I don't care. And I imagine you can always fucking buy food and no one will notice.”<br/><br/>He threw the rag over his shoulder as he turned back to the kitchen. “Fuck it kid. Have a good day.” he dismissively laughed.<br/><br/>“Hold on!” Cong demanded, “There's got to be something you know.”<br/><br/>The Cashier stopped and turned back. Rocking his head back and forth he turned to the youth, “Alright.” he sighed, “Since I'm a nice guy and everything, I'll let you in on a guy I know. He lives in the old Walled City, if you want to dare venture into there. His name is Song Yun-Fee, he used to be an old gambling buddy of mine back in the day. Now the fucker sits around in the claustrophobic rat's nest. Last I heard he's helping to spring dealers and prostitutes out the same net you're afraid you're going to get yourself swept up in.<br/><br/>“If you think you won't get stabbed in the neck, go and see him.” he said, “Tell him an old friend sent you. The Ghost.”<br/><br/>Cong nodded. “Kowloon Walled City.” he said, the thought gave him a shiver. Like a black welt on the city the towering fortress loomed over the Kowloon district like a cancerous tumor. It couldn't be moved, the Japanese had tried but couldn't break in. And the government had chosen to ignore it. Everyone knew it existed, but pretended it was never there. “I'll have to see about it.” he added, afraid.<br/><br/>“Yeah, just stay safe kid.” <br/><br/>“But, hold on!” Cong shouted. The Cashier froze. “He's in Kowloon, but where?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Shit, I don't know.” the gambler shrugged, “He'd be anywhere. Put try fifth and eight avenue, top floor.<br/><br/>“Good bye, kid.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Beijing, Central Military Command</div><br/><br/>“What the situation?” Hou asked after a prolonged silence in the room. His old wrinkled hands wrapped around the head of his cane as he leaned back in the chair. The central command of the Chinese military had been piercingly quiet. Only the sound of the air conditioning switching over head had broken the silence, and reminded the men present that they had yet to speak.<br/><br/>“The Spanish had taken the Suez.” Yan Sing grunted, wrapping his pale hands across his lap. His long face held a stressed appearance. It was long, soured by lines as much as Hou and everyone else in the room. They were not young, not anymore. “We watched them break through and head south through the red sea to defeat the Ethiopian navy at Mandeb. And not only defeat, let me say obliterated it.<br/><br/>“There's not a single surviving Ethiopian vessel we know of. The African's abilities to hold the sea are officially eliminated. If they plan to protect any convoys supplying them with aid as numerous nations across the globe have promised then they'll be hard pressed to receive it. They got no escorts to see even humanitarian supplies in. Spain has the upper hand to break and molest these supply lines as much as they want.<br/><br/>“With this defeat too, it'll only be a matter of time before the Spanish navy seizes control of the coast to enforce a blockade. Our very own interests in Africa will fall apart in due time.”<br/><br/>The commanders in the room gave gloomy nods. Even Lou Shai Dek who strongly committed to the theory that Africa could hold itself bore a shimmer of doubt in his aging eyes. He stroked his pointed shin with his fingers, deep in strategic thoughts.<br/><br/>“In lighter changes, our aerial scouting of Spanish Africa is underway and we have turned up valuable intelligence. My department has forwarded what we find of value to their ambassador here in Beijing to handle and get back home before the doors close.<br/><br/>“Of considerable value is the location of what I feel may be the Spanish storage facility for VX, if not possibly an important keystone in their VX infrastructure.”<br/><br/>Hou and the rest of the table looked up, shifting in their chairs. Even the elderly chairman sat up, pulling himself up higher by his cane. His bones ached, but he could mute them for long enough to receive this, “About a week ago our high-altitude recon sweeps have located, photographed, and begun observations on a facility on the edge of the Sahara desert.” Sing continued, rattling out the words with practiced precision, “The location of the facility bordering the desert to the south and mountains to the north has lead us to believe and to assume that the value of the location as a defensive location is tactically moot on the larger scale, with any potential threats having to first cross though the over-bearing heat of the Sahara and then to fight into Spanish Mauritania over the Atlas mountains, which themselves present an offensive obtrusion to any African threats that Spain could use, defensive installation or not.<br/><br/>“And given the further nature of the regular traffic to the installation and the presence of possibly chemically-oriented transport. This has lead the Bureau to designate the facility has a high-value target and we're operating regular recon on it, keeping a careful note of its regular traffic. If it's the Spanish VX stores, we'll know when they plan to deploy their chemical ace when activity becomes more aggressive and we follow bombers or other delivery means towards Africa.<br/><br/>“Provided long-range communications are stable we could provide warning within the space of several hours if anything unfurls during observation.”<br/><br/>“If.” Jan Jing stressed, “So if you found it, why haven't you recommended the possibility of an airstrike on it? Cripple it for good!”<br/><br/>“You're free to do that!” Sing laughed. It was caustic and cold as he rose his hand and signaled for the lights. With a click the projector on the war-room table turned on. The intelligence commander stood up and began sliding photographs into the machine, throwing them up on the screen across the room.<br/><br/>“As you can see,” he began with a sneer, bringing into focus an aerial picture of a desert mesa, surrounded by the trappings of military and industrial activity, “It's mostly all mountain. We could attack the facility, but from the air any damage we do to it will be like scratching the shell of a tortoise. We've identified roads and rail roads that drive into the heart of the mountain, leading us to believe that the actual facility itself is buried inside that mountain!<br/><br/>“So we could try. We could bomb it for days, weeks, moths. Perhaps even years. But we will never break it. With all the solid stone covering it we wouldn't do anything.<br/><br/>“Not only that, but there's the real risk that if we break it then we might release nerve agent into the wind and I don't think we'd like to know how much damage it does when that happens.<br/><br/>“Currently, the best we can do is watch it. The best choice might be to mobilize ground troops against it. But that's without knowing what else they got besides VX.”<br/><br/>“So if anything, what would you recommend us do to stop a launch?” Commander Jing asked, he leaned to the side, running heavy fingers through salt-and pepper hair.<br/><br/>“I was hoping you might have and idea.” Sing said.<br/><br/>“I think we can focus on that later.” Hou interjected, hammering the foot of his cane on the ground for emphasis. “But I think we've made acceptable gains on that ground. So long as we keep it in check while orchestrating your further efforts.”<br/><br/>“Thank you, Chairman.” Sing bowed, pulling the photograph from the projector.<br/><br/>“Now, commander Jing.” Hou sighed, “A potentially... off putting report came to me about an aerial skirmish our men had with Spanish resources somewhere near to the island of... Socotra, am I right?”<br/><br/>“Indeed.” Jing said. He lowered his green eyes as he bit his cheek, “On the fourth of June aerial assets out of our training and partnership base on the island of Pemba flew north to respond to a distress call issued by a civilian aircraft hosting Empress Azima and her family and individuals I've been told were of high-value.<br/><br/>“As I wrote in the report to you, the conditions couldn't have been better for an aerial battle with our forces out numbering the Spanish literally three-to-one. However, in the course of the conflict our jets failed to locate the royal transport and to down the Spanish fighter that was in pursuit. Both parties were forced to withdraw, with the Spanish aircraft retreating back to the Spanish armada and the remaining two of our three airplanes making haste to Addis Ababa.<br/><br/>“It's believed that the third aircraft crashed. Although in a twist of fortune and analyzing the situation the lost pilot and his airplane no doubt went down over Ethiopian Somalia from what his wingmen have claimed to have been from a punctured fuel tank that forced him to ultimately leave for Addis.<br/><br/>“We haven't been able to open communications with the downed pilot. So if the landing wasn't violent he may have abandoned his airplane to make contact. However I've ordered elements from the Pemba aerial division to be sent north to Somalia to look for his airplane and scrap it and bring it home. While on this mission they'll look for him or signs of him. Changes in orders depend on if we find a body or not.”<br/><br/>“The Somalians are friendly to us, right?” the laborious overweight officer that was Handoi Hu said. He had the distinction of being the longest serving commander to Hou, directly in a sense. He'd been with him since Hong Kong. Large and whale-like, he had slowed down in recent years. Rumors in the political machine suggest he was considering retirement. And it showed. He was tired, worn. Although he had the weakest position in the military hierarchy he was loosing his grip on the ability to manage. He might not be as old as Hou was, but he was aging faster. Even after his stroke.<br/><br/>“They are.” Jing said, “I've heard of them being over all supportive of Ethiopia and are confident in them. They dislike the west as much as they and we do. Chances are, if my public affairs intelligence is correct they won't be a physical threat to our lost officer. If he's alive, they'll make it easier. Keep him fed, provide him with transport and direction.<br/><br/>“He could end up in Mogadishu soon and we can recover him from there. So though I'm prepared to write this engagement off as a defeat ultimately, we haven't technically lost a man. Not permanently.”<br/><br/>“That's good to hear.” a relieved Hou nodded. A small weight had been lifted to think that a Chinese national hadn't been killed yet, “Though the loss of the royal family over Socotra, or near it. Can we confirm it?”<br/><br/>“Working on it.” Jing said, “Part of the recovery mission will fly out towards the island to conduct low and slow searches for debris in the waters to determine if their plane went down or not. Or if it did: where too. The way I have heard it is that there was more than one valuable asset on that aircraft, and their government would really like to see both safe. So with the resources we have in the are we will do our best.<br/><br/>“Perhaps we would have an improvement on this over all if we had more. But,” he shrugged in defeat, “that isn't my position to make.”<br/><br/>“Frankly comrades we should take this to Congress!” Han Shen boomed. The admiral slammed a fist on the table, “All this talk, I'm getting impatient. We have the resources to turn this invasion back. Even a few submarines! We could cripple this and put Ethiopia on the edge.<br/><br/>“Hou, get us a declaration of war!” he demanded, “Get us on the move. Put my guns in range of Madrid and I shall open fire!” he said symbolically.<br/><br/>Hou rose his hands, he spoke calmly. Trying to settle the frustrations of the admiral, “In time.” he promised, “But for this I have to side with Shai Dek. I don't want us to hurry into something. Not without some scope on the situation. Perhaps... Perhaps...”<br/><br/>“Perhaps they'll bog themselves down on the warpath.” Lou Shai Dek intruded. Speaking with the utmost confidence, he picked himself in his chair. “We can't judge a war by the first few battles. Suez, Mandeb. They don't bear well tactically for the Ethiopians but it isn't the end. And I don't believe I will have to remind trained and experienced military men here this, it is beyond me!<br/><br/>“On you Han Shen, for shame on your haste. Temper your emotions and allow yourself to withdraw so you can see things more clearly. If the Spanish want us to yank China into war it should not be on their terms.<br/><br/>“But if it will go before Congress then let it be so. I'll submit a long-term war plan to them if the rest of us do so. Let Wen put together a hearing to look at it and make a decision on if it should go before the greater Congress.<br/><br/>“But let's not let ourselves be spread thing as well between Russia and Africa.”<br/><br/>“I agree.” Jing said, “And a simple battle between us and them a cause for war doesn't make. It may flare tensions with the Spanish among our people here at home. But only if they're told and if he died.”<br/><br/>“We should move fast, on whatever we're going to do.” Sing added in, “If we have the reason now to end their imperialism, we will need to act on it before they grow so strong from Africa they are untouchable. We're going to need to strike them soon.<br/><br/>“If it's incentive that we need to discuss it, then we'll be getting it soon no doubt.” he continued, “A delegation from the Ethiopian Communist party is reaching out to the Third International as we speak. They're requesting to present their call for help on the floor of the Pond. Depending on what they have to say we might be looking at hostility within the near future.”<br/><br/>“What are they asking for?” Handoi asked.<br/><br/>“The Ethiopian Communist Party wants our involvement in the war.” Hou gravely noted, “I got a second-hand brief on it when they came in. They want the Spanish gone, but they'd like for the deposition of the Monarchy from power. I can only guess the Ethiopians took the chance of political instability to strengthen their plea.<br/><br/>“And in doing so put us in a hard spot.” Hou added, “I shouldn't need to remind you.”<br/><br/>“Your companionship with Yaqob.” Sing crooned, “No offense comrade, but it is highly unusual. Even you ended up negotiating the Norodom family out of strict government power. Yet you haven't bothered with it in Ethiopia.<br/><br/>“Highly unusual.”<br/><br/>“My reasons are my own.” a defensive Hou quipped, “And the future Chinese position is not my own to make.<br/><br/>“In any wild case, we're going to see what comes of it.”<br/><br/>“Will we present the possibility of the loss of the royal family?” Jing asked?<br/><br/>“I'll present it to Auyi and Zen when I get the chance,” Hou said, “If one isn't too busy on the campaign trail. But if the African communists are here it may make things strenuous. Then again, we're looking at high-profile civilian casualties, attributed directly to Spain.”<br/><br/>Hou nodded as he leaned forward, “What then of Russia?” he said, to change the course.<br/><br/>“Huei Wen is making a push to Tyumen.” Lou Shai Dek declared, “From his report field inteligence and aerial scouting has pointed out that the Russians may be organizing outside the city to keep them from Yekaterinburg. He feels that if he can rush the Russians and break their lines he'll scatter their army and be able to take the city by the end of the month and be on the Republican capital from there on. His primary interest is getting as much done as he can while it's summer and it's a lot drier and warmer. If he gets bogged down and winter comes he'll consider his offensive a failure. He's dead set on not having that.”<br/><br/>“I can understand.” Hou said, “What is he going to do to prevent the Russians from outmaneuvering them, like last time?”<br/><br/>“He's going to bomb and shell Kurban and Chelyabinsk.” Jing answered smoothly, “He sent me his and his flight commander's options.<br/><br/>“With any luck they can continue the push. We have men who have taken and shut down their eastern communication network so it'll be a lot messier for the Republic to answer.”<br/><br/>“We're however moving about there without internal support.” Sing reminded, “I don't think it'll be easy.<br/><br/>“Let me remind the command I deployed agents to the region to convince the so-called General Makulov to assist the Chinese. The general's regarded as a ghost, almost a phantom who dropped off the face of the earth after the initial Neo Bolshevik uprising.<br/><br/>“I haven't heard of any changes despite the agents locating Makulov, and one has gone missing. Although despite the loss his partner is continuing the mission. He's behind schedule now but he's in too dire a position for extraction. So we're leaving him there.”<br/><br/>“Comrade Hou,” Lou commented in, “Last we talked about Russia I assumed that we'd be looking at allocating the men we have stationed in Turkestan has a joint security-training mission could be re-allocated to Russia in the future. I'm curious if perhaps you got their diplomatic blessing?”<br/><br/>“I brought it before the External Relations Comittee and they approached the Turkestanian government.” Hou remarked, “They understand and will expect the termination of the current contract soon. I'm told they're finishing up exercises, but we can perhaps allocate them to Russia in the near future.”<br/><br/>“Huei Wen will appreciate the extra support then.” Shai Dek smiled, “In however much time it will be before they act on their changed orders.”<br/><br/>“Well, let's just hope he manages.” Hou choked, “Now, I think we've talked for nearly enough. To you comrades, have a good day.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Surgut, Russia</div><br/><br/>“They're just... Watching...” a soldier spoke, aghast at the packed side-walks. The convoy rolled through the streets, passing clumps and clusters of sheepish and worrying spectators. Their tired drawn-out faces watched the Chinese troops drive into their city. Armed buggies chugged down the street, their guns loaded and readied, though the gunners too stricken by the civilian awe and anxiety over their presence.<br/><br/>The Chinese troops had swept back from the north-west, positioning themselves outside of the city of Surgut. Quan Yun-Qi had hoped that any Republican defenders in the city would approach him men and engage, hopefully dragging the combat out of the cities and the realities of urban combat. He'd slogged through enough in the liberation of Mindanao to have known better to not take to the streets. He did not want to see echoes of the combat there alive in Russia.<br/><br/>But for the past several days no one came. The city on the Ob River sat silent and dead. The stillness of the air was almost unnerving. Its relative silent bitter and cold. Even with the mid-spring sun warming the ground, the nervous frightful men and women who had held on through the worse no doubt looked to be living in an eternal winter. Their faces had sunken. Their eyes laid low as they passed. The turned themselves to the side when a soldier addressed them.<br/><br/>And now Shang Hsiao Quan Yun-Qi had ridden out of his CP to see this city for himself. On the suggestion that the Republic had retreated. As he hung off the side of a buggy packed with his armed men he saw it before him. Naked in its truth. But just as eerie.<br/><br/>He looked up into the windows of the brightly painted Imperial architecture. Half expecting to catch sight of a sharpshooter in the shadows. Or on the roof for a suspicious specter. But there was none of that looming. Nothing to haunt him. At least not physical. And he realized that here it wasn't what he could see that scarred him, it was what wasn't there that spooked him.<br/><br/>“Where are we going?” stammered a young private. Yun-Qi looked over to see his finger dance between resting on the trigger to hanging on the trigger guard of his rifle. He wasn't the only one expecting something, and it made him feel better.<br/><br/>“Town hall, I guess.” he muttered suspiciously as he looked over the heads of the men and women who remained. With scarves over their heads and lines across the faces of the young and old alike they all looked like wraiths. Jiangshi in Russia.<br/><br/>Yun-Qi shivered. Something didn't feel right. But he didn't need it laying its weight across his shoulders. He had more pressing matters.<br/><br/>He turned his head from the civilian clusters that clumped along the dirty roads to watch them long procession of vehicles. All ahead of the colonel a train of carts, buggies, and six-wheeled carriers spanned a long line through the city in the valley of ghostly tenements and office buildings. It was a clear day. The afternoon sun was bright. It felt a shame.<br/><br/>______________________________________<br/><br/>“Kitayets.” the old man muttered, Yun-Qi stepping into the room. The office of the mayor was in comparison to the rest of the city extravagant, and full of life. If not for the city outside the windows there would have been an air of life. Paintings of the countryside hung on a wall coated in a deep-blue wallpaper, images of flowering vines crawled up the height of the wall at regular intervals. A deeply stained strips of wainscoting, carved carefully by chisel and knife framed the bottom to hip height. And a plush blue carpet covered the floor. It was a decadent office, and powerful. Though inhabited by a man who was perhaps distant from it.<br/><br/>Despite his well-trimmed suit the body that occupied it had grown tired. He hunched over, his hands bearing scars and darkened liver-spots. His brow dropped over his eyes, and his cheeks dropped to a permanent frown, meekly hidden by his scraggly white beard. He was someone from a bygone era. And there was a severe loss to his pride for simply being in the presence of a foreign commander.<br/><br/>“Mer.” Quan Yun-qi bowed. He was no diplomat. But he tried for his best impression. Aside from a small guard stood at his side was one of his lieutenants. Hu Jiao-Long, a larger man. A wide pair of spectacles rested across his narrow nose. “I am Shan Hsiao Quan, and this is Zhong Zao Hu.”<br/><br/>“Stanislav Propodov.” the old men stammered weakly. He spoke low. If he had any pride left, it escaped through his eyes as he looked at Yun-Qi.<br/><br/>“It's an honor.” the colonel answered politely, “Now, if I remember hearing right you're surrendering?”<br/><br/>“I am.” Stanislav replied.<br/><br/>“Without a fight?” Yun-qi inquired in Russian.<br/><br/>“That is true.” the mayor acknowledged.<br/><br/>“Mind telling me why?”<br/><br/>The mayor sighed, dropping his shoulders he looked at the colonel. “Have you not seen the city?” he stated bluntly, “Have you not seen anything in us worth defending for ourselves? What we had is long, long gone.” he mourned.<br/><br/>“Ever since the Tsar died and no one could reasonable appoint an heir this city has lost its pride.” he continued, turning to the window, “We used to be the center of Siberia, straddling the watersheds of two major rivers. But that was a century ago.<br/><br/>“Now where is the city? The year 1980 and one river in our network leads to your revolting communism and the other into a nation that the Republic has no presence in. The economy collapsed, the value of our export declined in favor of the Spanish. We started producing to simply feed our own wants, and people left.”<br/><br/>He stepped away from his desk, to Yun-Qi and  Hu Jiao-Long. He moved slowly, heavily. “As a former soldier I am committed to my nation, and an Emperor we lost. I have neither any more. My so-called nation, this Republic, abandoned us in our dire hour.<br/><br/>“When I heard that they weren't received communications they were just starting to show cowardice and fear. The few measly units stationed here after your people first tried to come west suddenly packed up and left.<br/><br/>“So that's why I am surrendering.” he explained. He turned his head to the side, wrapping his arms across his chest, “I just ask if you have any mercy you allow those of us who want – or can – to leave.”<br/><br/>“Comrade.” Jiao-Long cut in, prodding his superior officer in the side and speaking in a low voice and in hushed mandarin, “I can see where this is going, can I have a word?”<br/><br/>Yun-qi looked at him, then up at the mayor. “Excuse me.” he bowed, his Russian shaking as he turned to Jiao-Long.<br/><br/>“If you say yes, he might just leave.” Hu pointed out, nodding to the old man, “If I can give you a word of advice, it's to exempt him.”<br/><br/>“You think you'll need him?” Yun-Qi inquired. Jiao Long was his civilian liaison in these affairs. He'd had little point in coming out until now, during what Yun-qi assumed would have been a campaign involving only military targets. He'd assumed wrong when he got the orders though.<br/><br/>“If we're going to effectively handle this city then there's no one better to help than the mayor.” he grimly pointed out, “As much as he hates us, and we may hate him.”<br/><br/>Yun-qi nodded, “Understood.” he turned away from his lieutenant and back to the mayor, “I can permit those who want or see the need to leave to do so.” Yun-qi invited, turning back over to Russian. The switch in language made him feel nervous and he felt he fumbled. But the look of understanding Stanislav had looking up at him was enough, “On an exception that I need you here.”<br/><br/>“You're going to hold me to ransom!?” the mayor boomed. His otherwise calm submissive demeanor shifted. He trembled reflexively, his eyes wide with shock, “I-, I-” he stuttered.<br/><br/>“Hardly so, comrade.” Yun-qi affirmed, “I'll allow you to keep your office. But for anything to continue I do need information. We can start here and now before we settle down and perhaps look for a way to escort out any refugees, or to let them through.”<br/><br/>Stanislav looked at him. A mixture of shock and stricken confusion ran circles around him. Yun-qi merely had to be patient. He looked at the soldiers the Chinese officer had brought in. He had allowed them in. Yun-qi had the upper hand.<br/><br/>“What do you want to know?” he asked.<br/><br/>“We can start with the rivers. I'll bring in my security officer and we can organize how we're going to police this city. Do you have any chairs?”<br/><br/>“I-In the closet, by the window.” the mayor pointed out.<br/><br/>“Good.” Yun-qi nodded, pointing his men to the closet in question, “You speak first.”</div>"

Illardi Cardosi looked through his binoculars towards the opening of land that lead to the red sea, his face sun burnt from being outside the safe haven of the cruiser, Giuseppe Garibaldi. ""Cazzo... The Spanish sure like making an entrance.""<br/><br/>""Indeed. Do you think it is safe for civilian shipping to continue? The senate needs to know if the Suez is usable."" Spoke another voice, convincing Illardi to lower his binoculars to look at the captain of the vessel. Captain Aleramo Laurenzi was a tall, broad shouldered man. Everyone usually assumes him to be a member of the Royal Army, not a naval captain of a cruiser. A pipe hangs in his left hand, the thin trail of smoke blowing to the sides as the crisp Mediterranean wind blows it to the side.<br/><br/>""It would be hard to tell at the distance for sure, but the Spanish fleet seems to have been able to pass through. The nearest Regia Marina vessels are near Crete at the moment, but they are heading to Malta."" Illardi replied, as he lead his captain back inside the vessel.<br/><br/>Many of the crew members were eating at this hour, except the radio operators standing by to  relay information to Italy proper, and the people working down in the engine rooms. ""The best way to check, and most dangerous, if to sail ourselves through the Suez at a low speed. We don't know how much wreckage, mines, or potential aggressors lie deep into the canal. For all we know, Ethiopian elements could be set up along the shores to fire at any vessel that passes through, even if they don't fly the Spanish flag."" Illardi commented as they made into the main room for the radio operators, Illardi himself taking a seat at the main table.<br/><br/>""This is why we must check, better we use the Giuseppe Garibaldi then risk a civilian freighter trying to get to Japan or Australia. We can take what other makeshift weapons that could be pointed our way, freighters are unarmored."" Laurenzi replied as elected to cotinue standing in the doorway. ""I'm going to need you to relay the information back to Grande' Ammiraglio Fabro of our intentions, and prepare to enter the Suez.""<br/><br/>""Aye, Captain."" Illardi nodded at him, and the other operators in the room, obviously listening to the conversation, started to get to work notifying the crewmen of the vessel to prepare.""<br/><br/>Laurenzi turned and left the room, heading down a hallway as the alarms began to ring over the intercom. ""Questa non è un'esercitazione, ripeto questa non è un'esercitazione. Tutte le mani alle stazioni di azione.""(*)<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">----------Genoa, Liguria----------</span><br/><br/>The postponing of shipping through the Suez Canal was weighing heavily on both civilian and military minds alike, especially here at the Supermarina, Italy's naval headquarters. Grande' Ammiraglio Tito Fabro was hard at work dealing with the senate on re-opening the Suez canal, by sending a cruiser to examine the damage inflicted by the Spanish and Ethiopians. Finally, after two days of waiting, a message has returned from the captain of the vessel.<br/><br/>Tito sat  a large oval table, with several ranking members of the navy and CEOs of major shipping companies that handled the shipping from Italy to Asia. A printed copy of the message in front of him as he worded out what it said. ""At this time, the Regia Marina Duca degli Abruzzi-class light cruiser, Giuseppe Garibaldi, is entering the damaged Suez Canal to examine possible damage done by Spanish and Ethiopian army, marine, and naval elements. As well as to examine if potential hostile elements of those forces remain that will threaten naval and civilian assets of using the canal. We will radio back updates twice every hour.""<br/><br/>""Why not send our own forces to secure the canal, ensuring such an important assets remains neutral during this conflict?"" Inquired on of the CEOs after hearing the message.<br/><br/>""Because you are not in charge here, few members of the Supermarina want to attempt to secure the Suez because of potential backlash by the international community. A nation securing total control over one of the most vital water ways in the world? In the hopes of neutrality? Few with believe that. The Spanish might back us, but only for the hopes we only let them pass. So no, a military landing is not an option."" Tito said, eyeing the CEO closely. ""Instead, the current plan is a naval convoy system to protect freighters until they reach the Arabian Sea, which is away from the combat area in Africa. Once we know if the Suez is usable currently, we will either prepare to clean it up, or begin the convoys.""<br/><br/>(* - ""This is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill.

Built in the Turkish style, it was bare grey concrete weathered by the Georgian climate. On the top floor was Gregovyen's marksman team, staring down at Freedom Square almost a half kilometer away. The shouts and protests of the crowd of Georgians reached the Armenians' ears: ""Unite! Unite!"" A Turkish splinter force had arrived to quell the protest, armed with weapons. Through binoculars, Gregovyen watched as rocks began to be thrown. Molotovs ignited guard towers and remnant soldiers. Soon enough, one command echoed above the chaotic noise: ""Fire at will."" The Armenians watched in silence as the Turkish guards readied their rifles and, with a moment's hesitation, fire wildly into the crowd. Georgians were cut down in rows, rifles and machineguns raking the ranks of the Guardsmen. Gregovyen's sniper racked the bolt on his rifle and swiveled the bipod to get a clear view of a machinegunner in a tower. The NSS operative held his gloved hand out to push the barrel down and out of the way. The sniper looked at his superior with horror.<br/><br/>""We have to wait. We can't get involved yet. We have to see what they do.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Kyrenia, Cyprus</span><br/><br/>The sun shone down upon the docks of Kyrenia as Captain Vartanesian and Harbormaster Kasoudis walked amongst the shipping containers stacked along the side. A dock crane had finished offloading Armenia's goodwill gifts. The two men swapped sea stories, recounting their experiences from the last few years. Particularly amusing to the Armenian was Kasoudis's memory of a Spanish patrol boat that had run aground on the rocks on the southern coast. Kasoudis, a young Coast Guardsman at the time, arrived to help the Spaniards on their way. The Spanish commander was stubborn, however, and refused to let the Cypriots help with repairing his hulls. In a stint of his characteristic passive-aggressiveness, Kasoudis backed off and let the Spanish sort themselves out. They sat on the rocks for a total of nine days before the Spanish captain grudgingly let the Cyprus Coast Guard assist him. It took a grand total of two hours for the locals to dislodge the patrol boat from the rock and another two to patch the hole in the hull. The Spaniards were regarded as egotistical and stubborn by the Cypriots, which resulted in many tense situations at sea. Boardings of merchant ships in the West Mediterranean were common. With the war on and the Spanish Navy on the African coast, fears were that things could get much worse.<br/><br/>""I'm not sure what your countrymen have been doing lately, but I fear your trip around the world might get a bit rough in the Mediterranean. I'm aware you're used to rough dealings, but the Spanish are particularly antsy this time of year,"" Kasoudis warned, stopping by a van marked with the Kyrenia Port Authority insignia. A worker inside was eating his lunch and listening to the radio. The harbormaster turned his weathered face to Vartanesian. ""You might get boarded. You have self-defense weapons and nothing else, correct? They seem to believe that the Strait of Gibraltar is theirs. If they think you're smuggling, you might be detained. Who knows what happens to those captains? You could end up in a Spanish prison somewhere.""<br/><br/>""I maintain about two dozen 12.7mm guns, a pair of antiaircraft guns, and small arms for my crew. I've already telegraphed the paperwork to the Spanish. I can almost guarantee that they will be boarding for 'inspections' or the like,"" Vartanesian agreed. He looked back at the <span class=""bb-i"">Breadwinner</span> and eyed the sailors - mostly those on probation for misbehavior in port or at sea - walking the deck. One was working on the aforementioned point-defense machinegun. Two 12.7mm guns mounted together would tear up intruding small boats or, if needed, rake the decks of another large vessel. The antiair guns were designed to shoot down low-flying attack craft or helicopters and did an effective job with 23x152mm shells. The four-barreled guns were perfected by the Poles during their war with Hungary. He had read testimonies from the war about Armenian soldiers hitting Ottoman helicopters almost a kilometer out and shooting them down almost instantly. The Merchant Marine Agency had mandated at least one be on every ship.<br/><br/>""Well, the Spanish are fucking huge. They'll lose paperwork in the cogs of bureaucracy. Except instead of the maritime services losing some eighteen year old kid's recruiting information, it'll be your declaration through customs."" Harbormaster Kasoudis shrugged, pulling out a cigarette book from his pocket. He offered one to Vartanesian before lighting them both with a lighter engraved with a Biblical verse in Greek. The Armenian took a long drag before exhaling into the warm air. ""I must admit, there are troubles in these waters. I'm no fan of the Spanish. I think they're fucking shitheads. They're building a dam across the Strait of Gibraltar, you know? They're cracking down on trade and all of us little guys are going to be fucked because of it. Ethiopia already is, their navy just got smashed. The Mediterranean is going to be different in a few years. Who knows? At this point I'd rather be a fucking Chinese combloc than a Spanish vassal.""<br/><br/>Vartanesian looked around with deep resentment in his eyes, adjusted his cover, and took another drag off his cigarette. ""I think the Spanish hate us. We fucked over their Ottoman pals with the rest of the post-Imperial states. They hate us, the Kurds, the Georgians, the Greeks. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to glass the Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, or Palestinians either. To them, we're all China's lackeys. They don't see grey, they see 'us and them.' They see enemies and people who are amiable enough to not be an enemy just yet. What they do sickens me, but we can't say anything. We set off Sotelo's radar just one tiny bit and he sends his armies over to massacre and genocide your entire people. See the Africans? See how they are? See how they live in his state? He's worse than the fucking Turks. He's a fucking madman, he should be stopped. But who are we to stop him?""<br/><br/>""Rome fell,"" Kasoudis pointed out solemnly. ""It fell to uncivilized barbarians. You Armenians felled the great Ottomans. Spain will have an end. Maybe soon, maybe later. Maybe I won't live to see it, maybe my son will be the one to shoot that goddamn devil of a man in the head. But for now we just smile and pretend they're alright. We wait for them to get sick, just like the Turks. Then we cut their goddamn heads off and put them on stakes. Good will triumph over the conquerors. We're the righteous ones. God is looking out for us. Do you believe in miracles? Of course you do. The Armenian people is a miracle. You survived a cleansing unheard of before in the modern world. You took down the oppressor of so many. Everyone else in this shithole of a Balkanized empire looks to you because you are a fucking miracle. I wouldn't be too bold to venture that the Armenians will dismantle the Spanish, but miracles do happen.""<br/><br/>Captain Vartanesian nodded, staring at his ship. The vessel he had owned for almost twenty years was battered and beaten, its dull white paint chipping and peeling at the edges. Stains and rust discolored the hull, each one of them with a story to tell. He ran his eyes over some bulletholes sustained during a raid by Russian pirates. But it was his. He was proud of it. They had been through so much: times always seemed dark. Yet somehow they made it. The Captain looked back at his Cypriot friend and smiled. It was as good a metaphor as any.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Artashat, Armenia</span><br/><br/>Against the backdrop of the mountains was a peculiar scene. Artashat had been shattered by the Armenian Revolution, the scene of the largest battle in the conflict. For almost a year, Armenian guerrillas and Ottoman troopers fought over Artashat and its surrounding suburbs. It held little strategic value geographically, instead being the location of the nearest Ottoman garrison to Yerevan. Situated directly south of the capital, it was on the road coming up from the unpoliced southern territories to the heart of colonial subjugation. Day broke over the city that still bore the scars of the war. Tenement buildings covered in scaffolding cast shadows on the fields nearby where crews still poured soil into shell craters. A pickup truck sauntered down the highway, past a fenced-in junkyard where someone had set up a business towing and reclaiming abandoned vehicles left over by evacuated civilians. The white truck bore a black NRA insignia on its doors, and the bed was filled with surveying equipment. Aram Terzian rode shotgun, looking out at the landscape from beneath a pair of sunglasses while his secretary drove.<br/><br/>A worker's camp had been erected on the north side of town as the road construction made its way south from Yerevan. The truck pulled through the front gate, manned by local police, and crunched its way over a gravel roadway into a parking lot. On the other side of the road was a fenced-in training area where a foreman was instructing some newly-hired locals on how to pour concrete. A tent had been erected beside it in the center of the camp with a military-style arrangement, containing the main planning center for the reconstruction of Artashat. Terzian, as the Director of the National Recovery Agency, was responsible for checking up on these projects from time to time. Stepping out of the truck and onto the ground, he acknowledged two workers on a smoke break and entered through the blue tent flap. Inside seemed to be the mirror image of a military tactical command center. A sand table was planted squarely in the center with engineers clustered around it. A telephone desk sat in the corner with a switchboard operator ordering a new load of asphalt from a local company. Beside her, rows of clerks and typists did various administration jobs.<br/><br/>One of the engineers turned around to acknowledge the new visitor, and went to shake his hand. Black-haired, muscular, and dressed in a dirty denim jacket and cargo pants, he embodied the image of a frontiersman. A large cross hung from a silver chain on his neck. He introduced himself: ""The name's Paul Gredakjian. I'm the chief engineer and the man in charge of Artashat's public works department.""<br/><br/>Director Terzian smiled and pushed his sunglasses to the top of his head, resting in his curly brown hair. ""Pleasure to meet you, Paul. I've heard good things about you. I recall you built some of the infrastructure for the Erzurum pipeline way back in the sixties.""<br/><br/>""Yessir,"" Gredakjian beamed with a shining sense of humor behind him. ""I designed and managed the construction of some machinery houses, which were promptly destroyed by our marvelous partisans in 1977. And they worked damn well, too. Nothing could stop 'em.""<br/><br/>""Well, except for the ASF,"" Terzian joked. ""I was there, I got to tour the pump-houses and see where someone had gutted the pump computer with his bayonet and a sledgehammer. A damn shame.""<br/><br/>""Well, at least we got parts from the Persians to fix it up. At least that's what I heard through the agency's rumor mill."" Gredakjian shrugged. He swept out his hand to guide Terzian to the map where he was busy planning a vision of the new Artashat with fellow engineers. ""Let me introduce you to the crew.""<br/><br/>Gredakjian pointed out the half dozen civil engineers clustered around the map, naming them and their roles. They were traffic engineers, structural engineers, city planners, and environmental engineers. Each of them had experienced entire careers dealing exactly with this situation. Almost two thirds of them were former military, used to dealing in austere environments. ""With them"", he said confidently, ""we can rebuild the city. It may have been smashed by war, but we'll be sure to bring peace with us.""<br/><br/>""So how's it been going?""<br/><br/>""Excellently. We're high on morale and supplies, ahead of schedule in some places. We expect to be here for years, but we are all willing to improve our city,"" the engineer proudly stated. Many of the construction-men - like the locals seen training to pour concrete - were displaced citizens living in a nearby NRA refugee camp. Their service to the country was a mix of fervent patriotism and the desire to return to a normal life. Many, however, were conscripted: if one refused to serve in the military, civil service was thrust upon them by a draft board. The NRA was by the far the biggest recipient of civilian conscripts and an even larger hirer of veterans just getting out of their two-year term. It was a concept illustrated on the nearby propaganda poster put onto a corkboard: ""Do you want to waste all we have gained? Do your part!""<br/><br/>""I take it you've been successful. I saw the scaffolding on my way in,"" Terzian commented, gesturing for the large engineer to follow him through the tent flap. They emerged into the still summer air, the Director putting on his sunglasses. Gravel crunched under their feet as they walked over the parking lot. Trucks from the NRA and the military drove past occasionally, scattering about to perform their duties. Orange light filled the camp with a holy glow, the skeletons of new apartment buildings casting long shadows on the ground. Cranes, silhouetted in black against the dawn sky, began their sluggish motions. It was every bit as symbolic as he hoped: Gredakjian seemed to think so as well, producing a camera from a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. ""It's a beautiful day,"" continued the Director as the engineer snapped a brief photograph. The sun rose over Artashat. Terzian lit a cigarette and offered it to the engineer, who refused. Together they took in the sights for a few minutes before the engineer announced he had work to do. The Director nodded, and they parted ways.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Joint Base Sevan Lake, Armenia</span><br/><br/>""Right face!""<br/><br/>The four-dozen Candidates who lived in block A turned squarely right in unison, snapping their feet together in a resounding clack. The training instructor, beret pulled tightly to the side of his shaved head, shouted again: ""Forward march!""<br/><br/>In unison, they moved. Smartly filing past the NCO, they took turns through the door and emerged on the outside of the blockhouse into the sunlight. The order was given to stop, and the Candidates halted on the asphalt parade ground. Dressed in their olive battledress uniforms, they awaited what was to come next. Seven weeks of OCS had broken them down and brought them back up. They had been soldiers: now they were leaders. They all knew what it was like to lead men into simulated combat, they had been tirelessly instructed on proper forms of military knowledge and tactics. Mentally, they were hard. When their instructors almost drowned them in Lake Sevan during the ""Baptism"" in the first week, they had known that they were being hardened. When the instructors began the days by firing live ammunition through the blockhouse windows or throwing buckets of animal blood and guts onto sleeping Candidates in the field, they were being hardened. When the instructors showed them graphic photographs and film reels of men dead and dying and told that these were going to be the young teenagers under their command, they were being hardened. There were some failures. They were not spoken of.<br/><br/>The air was still as the head instructor climbed the wooden podium that he used to address the Candidates. Their final week was here: the capstone of their experiences. In battledress, the commander of the school ascended. His weathered face gazed upon the almost one hundred young men ahead of him. He cleared his throat.<br/><br/>""Candidates, today we begin the final exercise. You have five days to destroy a heavily-guarded encampment on Sevan Island. There will be an airmobile insertion on the south side of the island where there will be heavy resistance. It is your job as leaders to be able to overcome and eliminate the enemy position. There is no support or reinforcement. There is only you and the opposing forces on this island. You will eat rarely, sleep even less. By the time you are done, you will be hardened warriors. You will be fit to lead others into battle. I turn you now to your section officers to brief you on your individual area of responsibility. The clock starts tomorrow morning. Dismissed.""<br/><br/>Another command was called to set the Candidates into their barracks blocks again. In less than five minutes, the men were called into their ready rooms to prepare for the day. Abbasian, a member of Company D, hustled back into his room in the frenzy to find Sulayev packing his bag with equipment. Wordlessly, Abbasian headed for his closet where his gear was hung neatly. In short order, his flak jacket, helmet, bag, and rifle were all laid out on his cot. They helped each other find whatever they needed, from toiletries to raincoats to entrenchment tools. They were into the long haul now. At noon, after a quick lunch of canned rations, the company assembled in the briefing room to find their tactical officer preparing a briefing for their part of the raid. All of the forty men scurried in, shutting the door behind them. They were all dressed down in their battledress uniforms: some inexplicably were wearing their load bearing harnesses for one reason or another. The tactical officer maintained a sand table in the center of the room with a map of Sevan Island placed upon it. Shell casings painted red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and orange were used to denote the six companies' units. D Company was purple.<br/><br/>The tactical officer, a Major with combat experience dating back to the 1950s and an eyepatch beneath scraggly black hair. His uniform was colored in the unique paratrooper lizardstripe that set him apart from the rest of them with their dull olive fatigues. Colloquially, he was known as a hardass and it was a reputation he intended to keep. The tactical officer would consistently volunteer his Candidates for the most dangerous or strenuous missions and tasks, much to the chagrin of the students attending the eight-week school.<br/><br/>""Candidates, our objective is simple: we're sliding down the northeast side of the island after our drop off. The fortress is situated on the tallest point of the island, so this is kind of a Kajman Point scenario. While the other companies make a frontal assault, us and F Company will try to flank. That renders us alone and stretched out instead of with the main force but I'm confident that you'll be able to handle it.""<br/><br/>""Sir!"" called one of Abbasian's classmates from the back, hand raised. ""Are we distracting them or pulling them away, or are we participating in the main assault?""<br/><br/>""They're not stupid enough to go on a wild goose chase for scouts, dammit!"" growled the Major. ""You're going in with F in the rear. It's simple. A fucking child could figure this out.""<br/><br/>The student slumped down meekly in his chair, subdued by the ever-powerful ""tac."" The Major continued: ""It's not a complicated scenario, we aren't dealing with urban environments or civilians. You see someone in a khaki uniform, you blast them with your rubber bullets.""<br/><br/>He moved some shell casings from the entry point up the coast. ""The enemy is going to be in the treeline taking shots at us as we move in, but are expected to fall back if we push forward. The worst thing we can do is get bogged down because that only gets us fucking routed. If we fall, they'll have more force to repel the other assaults. We're going to take it nice and slow: we have five whole days to siege them before we risk it and invade. You all know the basics, so take the fuck charge.""<br/><br/>""Kill!"" echoed the students in the briefing room, Abbasian included.<br/><br/>""Good job! Alright, the helicopters leave at dawn tomorrow. Continue packing and getting ready. We're in for a long week. But remember, graduation is just around the corner. Finish this, and you can finally get the fuck out of my sight. Got it?""<br/><br/>""Kill!"" the company repeated eagerly.<br/><br/>""Dismissed!""<br/><br/>It took another few hours to fully prepare. Weapons and armor needed to be checked out from the armory and maintenance performed on the gear. In the barracks rooms, the roommates duly went about their work. From the speakers, somehow, someone had managed to turn on the radio and pump music into the company's blockhouse. Normally reserved for announcements and wakeup calls, this was a pleasant change of pace. The soothing, relaxing tones of the popular Armenian artists was a far cry from the adrenaline-fueled madhouse of OCS. There was no yelling, no shouting. For a few hours, the men had peace and quiet. Sulayev and Abbasian enjoyed it while it lasted: Sulayev was never one to be talkative - indeed, he knew only conversational Armenian and spoke mostly Kurdish as a first language. Like Abbasian, he was similarly slotted for the Foreign Legion after graduation: Abbasian was heading to the Arabic units while Sulayev was to take command in a Kurdish detachment. Abbasian had taught some more complicated language skills to his Yazidi roommate, but he still preferred to be quiet. Abbasian didn't mind: he mostly slept during his downtime.<br/><br/>Night fell rather quickly, the dusk turning darker and darker almost without the Candidates noticing. By the time the final preparations were completed and the Candidates had reported to their tactical officer, it was almost ten. They were briefed in more detail about the operation: Abbasian was chosen to be a squad leader and was given his responsibilities. He led eight others in a traditional squad aspect, and was the forward scouting unit. He was to rush ahead of the others to clear the way and find paths for the flanking element. If there was contact, he was to report back and try to neutralize the enemy before they returned to base. If all else failed, he would help them find another route.<br/><br/>Sleep came easy for the Candidates: they fell asleep as soon as they touched their cots. Beside them, their gear was lined up nice and neatly. The lights were turned off at taps and the barracks fell into darkness. Eight hours later, at the crack of dawn, the distant thrumming of helicopters woke the men. The chopping of the heavy rotor blades drew closer. On the parade ground, they landed: it was time.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Sevan, Armenia</span><br/><br/>In a drunken haze, Yaglian didn't know who threw the first punch. However, the case was still the same: the Corporal was still knocked down onto the floor in a sketchy alley outside of an equally sketchy nightclub. In front of him was an intoxicated truck driver wearing his disheveled battledress. The oaf of a man swung forward again, flailing into the air while Yaglian rolled sideways and attempted to get back up on his feet. His motor skills failed him, and he soon found himself back on the ground while the truck driver pushed himself off of the wall he had ran into. ""Come here, ya little shit!"" he slurred, putting his fists up. The bouncer in the corner by the door was laughing at them, but didn't do anything. He thought it was too funny.<br/><br/>""Motherfucker, who the fuck are you?"" Yaglian rambled back, trying again to get up off of the ground. The saxophone case he was carrying dropped to the ground and he accidentally kicked it away.<br/><br/>""You suck, man,"" the drunken truck driver said. ""You sound like one of them blacks.""<br/><br/>""Gah, you just have shitty taste, you cunt!""<br/><br/>Bathed in flickering yellow neon lights, the pair slammed against each other and fought in the most uncoordinated method possible. Yaglian struck the truck driver in the face several times, breaking his nose and drenching the man's uniform in blood. Yaglian was smacked in the ear with an open hand and stumbled down. The truck driver didn't relent and dove in after him, grabbing the Corporal by the lapels and lifting him up. Before he even realized it, Yaglian was tossed over the truck driver's shoulder and slammed down onto the hard ground. ""Motherfucker!"" he shouted breathlessly as his foe stumbled in for another strike. Once again, he rolled out of the way: the truck driver was making another move towards him and fell to the ground, smashing his face into the pavement. While the truck driver was scrambling off of the floor, Yaglian made his move to the dumpster. Nearby was a discarded bottle of vodka, which he grabbed hold of. The truck driver floundered his way over to the downed musician muttering something about black people, before Yaglian threw the bottle at his face. It shattered, and he went down in pain.<br/><br/>""Fuck you! Fuck! Fuck!"" he shouted, running his hand over his bloody face. The Corporal got up off of the floor, ran over to his instrument case, and bolted. He barely got to the corner when he heard the bouncer call out: ""Hey kid!""<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR3XY6wfSBw"" rel=""nofollow"">Yaglian stopped cautiously, but his body was prepared to run in case the bouncer tried to hold him here until the police surely arrived.</a><br/><br/>""If it's any consolation, I thought your music was pretty good. Don't know what his problem was,"" the bouncer grinned with a mock salute. ""Stay safe, soldier.""<br/><br/>Yaglian nodded, looked back at the drunken truck driver writing on the ground, and made a break for it. He ran out of the alley, onto the street, and was almost blinded by the lights. Sevan had the most colorful nightlife in the whole region: nobody knows for sure how it started. Vice had been legalized by the province governor in an attempt to make the city an even more popular tourist destination. Prostitution, drugs, gambling, and anything else that could be imagined was completely allowed. It was rumored that the Armenian mafia had a hand in this, but nobody could tell for certain. What was once a resort town for the rich and wealthy became rather two-faced: on one hand, uptown Sevan maintained its classy tourist air and mansions still dotted the cliffs surrounding the beautiful lake. On the other, downtown Sevan had been commandeered to make way for neon palaces of sin. Not that there was anything wrong with that: Yaglian enjoyed the company of an exotic Circassian whore or three every once in a while. The shadier parts, however, lacked a clear police presence - they were too busy making the rich feel better - and it was often up to vigilantes, mobsters, and local bouncers to keep the peace.<br/><br/>Not in this case, however. Yaglian heard the sounds of sirens down the street and realized that they were the MPs. He had always been a sort of jailbird in the past and was familiar enough with the two different police forces that he recognized the slightly different intonation of an MP's squad car. The drunken Corporal took off faster, stumbling through the streets and away from a court martial. The sirens got closer as he went, tripping over sidewalks and exotic Egyptian palms in planters. With the law closing in, he ducked left into another alley. This one was bare and featureless, with only dumpsters and the back doors to some shops. The police car's lights flashed closer and closer, red and blue mixed with the multicolored neon of the city decorations. As Yaglian stumbled away, the car edged up on the curb and two fatigued officers wearing brassards and steel helmets stepped out. ""Kid, it's been a long night. Get over here,"" the driver seemed to sigh.<br/><br/>Yaglian tried to run but instead tripped over his feet and stumbled to the ground. Hitting the concrete with a dull thud, he realized that his nose was bleeding and seemed to hurt more than it had before. Only afterwards when he sobered up would he realize that it was broken and crooked to the side. The MP walked casually to the drunk Corporal and sighed again, squatting down next to him. ""Corporal, you're just going to the drunk tank tonight. Got any weapons on ya?""<br/><br/>Yaglian murmured something indecipherable and shook his head, still clutching his nose. The cop patted him down anyways and found nothing.<br/><br/>""Who's your commander?"" the MP asked casually. Yaglian groaned again and writhed around on the floor. The cop's partner arrived at his side with a pair of handcuffs and quickly slapped them around Yaglian's wrists.<br/><br/>""We'll find that out in the morning, buddy,"" the other one noted with a shrug. ""We're takin' you back to the station. Can't let you tarnish the image of our Army anymore...""<br/><br/>""Border Guard,"" Yaglian slurred. ""I ain't no Army, get your hands off of me.""<br/><br/>""Kid, you're still in the Department,"" the driver retorted as he hoisted Yaglian onto his feet. He turned to his partner who was inspecting Yaglian's instrument case: ""Book him, Krik.""</div>"
22136,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-05-09 10:47:00,Vilageidiotx,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">West of Djibouti</span><br/><br/>They were on the sand swept road heading west to Djibouti, in a plain staff car with none of the flags or escorts or military symbols present that might make them a target. Hassan sat in the back, wearing military fatigues and the sort of decorated peaked cap that he favored. His Palestinians wore fatigues and many varieties of wiry Arab facial hair. Underneath, they wore rubber suits.<br/><br/>Hassan detested his rubber bodysuit. It retained the heat, and his sweat, and it held both so well that he felt like he was being pickled in his own juices. The horrific heat of the brown, sun-beaten desert made his discomfiture worse. There was dark clouds ahead, the sign of the storm rolling along the coast who's presence had cooled the air to a comfortable ninety degrees Fahrenheit. Comfortable, at least, compared to the blistering temperatures the desert usually gave them.<br/><br/>It could not be helped. The rubber bodysuit was what protected him from the potent nerve gas that the Spanish were known to possess. The suit included a mask that could be pulled up as soon as an attack was reported so that his body was entirely encapsulated by it. His Palestinian guards wore the same caliber suits, and they were trained to take him out of danger the moment it was clear that such an attack was underway. <br/><br/>This was what bothered him the most about this war. The gas was a dishonesty. The Spanish were the foe he was born to fight, but they practiced war in a way that was dirty. Deception was not the problem; deception was cream of war, and the deceived only cried foul because brilliance is like immorality to people who do not know how to be brilliant. A clever man still took a risk, just the same as a strong man on the field. It was not even the mercilessness the Spanish had shown in their dealings with the Tueregs or the people of the Ivory Coast that bothered the Dejazmach. That was an accusation Hassan had earned as well, but it was just as foolish as accusations of deception. War was blood, and every man was a unit in his people's wars. Even children at the very least gave their fathers a reason to fight. <br/><br/>But fighting with gas was not just deceptive and cruel. It was damnably evil because of its cowardice. It could kill thousands with only a single bomber bearing all the risk in delivering it. That was not the way men fought. There was no skill, no earning the kill. The Spanish could sit back and murder their enemies by the millions without having to face them. In truth, Hassan couldn't help but be in awe of that ability, and through that awe he had an uncomfortable respect for what they could do with gas. Or, at least a respect for the technology itself. It was impressive, even if it was chicken-hearted.<br/><br/>He wondered how much of his hatred for the Spanish Gas could attributed to how these damnable suits made his balls feel puckered.<br/><br/>They traveled for miles before they saw a small caravan of beaten trucks traveling slowly down the road from the east. Refugees, he knew immediately. There were children sitting on the roofs of the vehicles, and a goat was tied to a rod that ran across the top-edge of a Land-rover. The animal was sleeping in a hooded girl's lap. She stared silently at it from behind a thin mask of dust, petting its mud-clumped fur like a mother trying to sooth her child. The people that he could see, through the windows and curled up on top of the vehicle, had seen a rough time. They were all covered in the same dust as the girl and her goat. Some were bruised and injured, though the worst of their suffering could be seen in their distant stares. The Rover at the head of the caravan slowed down as they met with Hassan's car, and Hassan's driver followed suit. Curious, Hassan rolled down his window.<br/><br/>""Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some!"" he yelled out the window over idling engines as a greeting to the driver of the opposite vehicle. When he could get a good look at him, Hassan realized that the driver was Walinzi. <br/><br/>The agent spotted Hassan and recognized him, but to his credit he said nothing. His recognition was a secret he communicated to Hassan with his face. A quick secret that he knew how to keep. The Walinzi, Hassan reflected, were one of Ethiopia's greatest assets. <br/><br/>""The Spanish having made their landing in Djibouti."" he exclaimed, pointing to the hills on the eastern horizon. ""They are shooting civilians. We heard that they are firing on people who tried to flee across the water.""<br/><br/>Hassan put on a disturbed face, but the truth was that this information did not shake him. It was to be expected. These were a people raised to believe that their enemies were evil on a demonic level. The contest of war, the honor and manliness in fighting an equal foe were not the nature of this new European warrior. These were men taught to smile as they kill, and to see every kind of mercy as treason. They were taught to imagine the rest of the world as enemies, and Africa as a place to be conquered. It was how they were taught to think. There was the blatant propaganda of course, but the most effective lessons were the subtle ones. Their literature praised the explorers that had came before, and painted the entire dark period of European colonization as a great adventure. Even the children's stories presented Africa as a continent filled with man-eating cannibals and ape-like pygmies. A clever adult might grow up to see these stereotypes as silly stories, but the image was always there. When they talked about this war, they would discuss the political practices of African governments and the military maneuvers on the field, but in the dark heart of their subconscious they would be imagining Sambo in a grass skirt dancing around a boiling pot. <br/><br/>""How many people are left?"" Hassan's own Palestinian driver asked.<br/><br/>""Some."" the Walinzi replied. ""Afraid, or stubborn. Some are stuck, I think. Not everyone was able to join in the evacuation.""<br/><br/>""We will do what we can."" Hassan said politely. He knew that, in truth, they couldn't do a thing. Those left behind would have to suffer in the way that people suffer when stuck in the crossfire. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>They arrived at the battery at sunset. The sky glowed that brilliant orange that so often followed a thunderstorm, leaving every cloud to look like an inert fire smeared across a burning sky. The desert heat was subsiding now that the sun was gone, but it did not give Hassan relief. The sweat he had produced during the day was now cooling under the rubber of his gas-proof suit, leaving him to feel clammy and unclean. He did not like the feel of the material rubbing between his thighs, and his attempts to avoid it had turned his gait into something of a waddle.<br/><br/>He heard what sounded like thunder at first, but the continued cadence gave it away as the heavy guns of the Spanish ships. they were far enough away, dozens of miles or so, but the echo of their weapons still managed to reach this far. He wondered if they were firing on the city, or just giving some sort of salute to their conquering marines. He wanted them to be bombarding the city. He wanted that very much, more than he cared to say.<br/><br/>From the ground, the long-barreled Ethiopian guns could be seen under a netted mesh of desert colored cloth. From the air, it would take an excellent eye to pick out the camouflaged batteries amongst the massive expanse rock and sand. An artificial hollow had been blasted into the side of the hill where this battery sat, so that only the side facing Djibouti needed the mesh. There were only two guns here, both already attached to trucks so that a retreat could be attempted.<br/><br/>The men who manned these guns greeted Hassan lethargically. Their officer - a skeletal-looking man with buggy eyes and a patch of wiry black fuzz reaching out wildly from his chin - saluted intensely as Hassan approached. The snowflake-patterned likeness of an Ethiopian cross hung on a string around his neck. He was the only one that saluted. The rest of the crew just stood and stared.<br/><br/>""At ease"" Hassan grunted. The officer followed that order to the best of his ability, but he was too tense of a man to ever truly be at ease. As they began to walk together, the Ras could see the officer's tension in the way the muscles in his neck seemed to always be straining. Hassan watched suspiciously as the officer fondled the cross charm that hung from a cord around his neck with a nervous urgency.<br/><br/>""We are ready and in place, Ras Hassan.""<br/><br/>""I expected nothing less."" Hassan grumbled. He looked over the rest of the men in the battery. They were in various states of undress, some wearing button shirts while others wore no shirt at all, or wore them wrapped around their heads like turbans. The heat had gotten to them as well, but they did not have to suffer the rubber suit that Hassan wore. There were worn-out cloth gas-masks hanging from nails in the side of the blasted rock wall, but Hassan knew that they would be useless in case of a VX attack. They could protect against the other sorts of chemicals that required inhalation to work, like those that had been used during the Great War. The Ethiopians did not know how much VX nerve gas the Spanish could produce, so it was entirely possible that the enemy would resort to the less effective and much older alternatives. Hassan did not think it prudent to bet on that possibility, and he hadn't. These men in this trench were expendable. They were soldiers, and soldiers were made to die in war. <br/><br/>""Are your men prepared to do what has to be done here?"" Hassan asked.<br/><br/>""A Walinzi agent reported here earlier today and informed me that his work had been a success. Djibouti is as flammable as they can make it."" the officer blurted. ""And my men are ready. Yes sir. We will do our jobs here.""<br/><br/>Hassan nodded. <br/><br/>""I do have to ask though... about the refugees."" the officer began, his fingers on his cross. ""I mean, it would help a lot of I could tell the men...""<br/><br/>""There are still civilians in the city."" Hassan said bluntly. ""We will be firing on our own people here. It is not perfect, but that is the circumstances we have been dealt.""<br/><br/>""How many?"" the officer asked hollowly.<br/><br/>""More than we wanted."" Hassan grimaced. ""Twenty thousand perhaps? I do not know, I have not been in a position to see the statistics."" It was probably more than that, he knew. Much more. But he could hardly quote the numbers he truly expected if he were to maintain morale here.<br/><br/>The officer winced. He held the cross up to his mouth and kissed it. ""I will still do my job. But this is not good news. There will be many dead by our hands tonight.""<br/><br/>Hassan smiled politely. ""Heaven only accepts the dead."" he said. The officer did not like that answer. <br/><br/>Hassan spotted a section of the indention separated from the rest by a makeshift wall. It had been erected from scrapwood taken from packaging crates and wrinkled lengths of tent canvas. He gestured toward it. ""Is that your quarters?"" he asked. <br/><br/>The officer nodded. <br/><br/>""We'll go there for now."" Hassan replied. ""We have things to talk about.""<br/><br/>The Officer's quarters were small, a cot stuffed into a crevice of rock and a small wicker table with a stool. Hassan noticed a wooden Ethiopian cross with an icon of Christ painted on it in colorful hues. Hassan decided to stand, comfortable with not having to bend in his rubber under-suit. He gestured for the officer to sit.<br/><br/>""We will open fire..."" he stopped to thing and pulled out a watch. ""...in ten minutes. All batteries have the same command.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" the officer said. Sweat pooled on his grey-brown skin, and he was fondling his cross more aggressively than before. ""Yes... Yes.""<br/><br/>""Have you heard reports from the front?"" Hassan asked. He was referring to the Seventh Sefari. They were stretched thinly along the coast, and bulged in numbers around the city. In the rough terrain surrounding Djibouti, they would be able to hold the Spaniards in the city for as long as Hassan's purposes required. They would test Spanish defenses around the city itself, but Hassan did not plan to launch a full scale assault. He wanted to use his forces to hold the Spanish military in Djibouti while he threw everything at them that he could spare. The enemy was high off of two victories, one against a token force on the Suez and another against the last remnants of a navy that had suffered its true death in the war against the collapsing Ottomans. This was the first battle where Spain would face a force prepared to meet it, and it was a force with Hassan in command.<br/><br/>""It is quiet."" the officer quavered. ""They are landing troops.""<br/><br/>""Good."" Hassan said. ""Now, what is wrong with you, soldier?""<br/><br/>The Officer bristled. Not angrily, but like a child who had been caught. He took a deep breath and shuddered. ""I thought it would be easier, Ras. I thought this would be good and evil. But... we are firing on civilians.""<br/><br/>""We are firing on Spain, though there are civilians in our way."" Hassan replied. He was irritated, but he politely hid his irritation. ""This is a war. There will be corpses until it is over. Do not think that all the corpses in all the wars deserved to become corpses so soon.""<br/><br/>""I can't put this out of my head."" the officer said. He seemed to shrink as he spoke, his body illuminated by a flickering gas lamp.<br/><br/>""You will have to."" Hassan said. ""Or you will have to be replaced. Now come, it is nearly time.""<br/><br/>When they left the Officer's small ramshackle room, Hassan saw that the stars had came out. Aside from the pale glow of several gas lamps sitting on the ground near the guns, there were no other lights for miles. There was a vague orange halo on the eastern horizon where Djibouti sat, cast by the Spanish invasion force in their process of invading. Those poor lights could not hide the stars, which came together in places as mists of impressive light, in uncountable numbers across the entire sphere of night. It was a powerful sight.<br/><br/>The men were giddy now, doing their work as dutifully as they did casually. That was the Ethiopian military. A rag-tag militia of men who were unkempt, poorly armed, and underfed. They came from across a continent. The short ink-black men of the Congolese forests, and the thick built men from the south with skin so dark that it seemed almost green. Some were the milk-chocolate Ethiopians and Somalians with their almost European features, and others the thin-bodied Swahili of the Sahara. This was one third of a continent represented in a single force. They were not professionals, but they had fought for most of their lives, for their OWN lives and they had more experience with the difficulties of their continent than the Spaniards could hope to know.<br/><br/>Hassan looked at his watch. One minute. This would be the third battle of this war, but it was the first that would be fought in the Pan-African Empire itself. To him, this was the true beginning of the war and he was here to witness it.<br/><br/>""Clear."" he heard a man cluck to his crew. All else was silence.<br/><br/>""Volley!"" another voice shouted suddenly in a crisp, concise voice. The guns fired and lit the earth, and the sound of them drank up the air. Hassan felt their reverberations in his chest, like ancient war drums sounding the beginning of the war.<br/><br/>""Incendiary rounds!"" Hassan yelled. That first volley had been a test, but the second would open his plans for the Spaniards here. These rounds would start the air to burn in Djibouti. He heard the metal scraping as they prepared the second volley.<br/><br/>""Volley!"" he heard. Then the magnificent pounding!<br/><br/>They continued like that. Despite their shabby appearance, the artillerymen moved like surgeons. If one man was adjusting the gun to keep it on target, another was retrieving new rounds. This was the first time many had seen a war, he realized.<br/><br/>""Volley!""<br/><br/>Hassan knew that this was not the only battery. Scenes like this were happening all across the desert, in a semi-circle surrounding Djibouti. <br/><br/>""Volley!""<br/><br/>The guns had distracted him from the cold, and from the ugly feelings that his rubber suit gave him. Now his entire body was electrified by the thought of combat. He wanted to hear a report from the front. He scanned the darkness, hoping to see a messenger on a motorcycle in the flashing gunlight.<br/><br/>""Volley!"" <br/><br/>A shirtless Congolese artilleryman positioned himself directly behind a gun and began to pump his pelvis in its direction. ""Look!"" he shouted in a shrill French accent. ""Thees is mah Deek!"" he cackled like a crazy man, and Hassan couldn't help but laugh along with him.<br/><br/>""Volley!"" the Congolese man's dick ejaculated fire.<br/><br/>""I am sorry, Ras."" the shaky Officer said. ""The men have been making that joke since we arrived. They think it is still funny.""<br/><br/>""It is."" Hassan replied with a grin. <br/><br/>""Volley!""<br/><br/>They heard a buzzing sound in the distance, and their ears perked up. Planes. The Officer looked worried at Hassan. He hadn't been expecting that.<br/><br/>""We have no way to counter aircraft."" he said. ""We need to bug out.""<br/><br/>""Volley!""<br/><br/>The buzzing grew louder, a growl that seemed to come from everywhere in the sky and nowhere all at once. ""No bugging out."" Hassan said. This had been his master stroke. He had let very few know about this, to keep it as secret as he possibly could. ""These are ours. <br/><br/>""Volley!""<br/><br/>In the flaming light of the artillery, they could see them coming from the west. Dozens of V's, black shadows against the starry sky. Africa's Air Force come out in its entirety. Hassan had known that the Air Force would have few chances to be useful in this war. So long as the Spaniards relied on carriers and lacked a comfortable base of their own on this continent, the Africans could take some advantage.<br/><br/>""Volley!""<br/><br/>The planes were over them now, as loud as diesel trucks. The artillerymen stopped to cheer, whooping wildly at the air. These were the most planes any of them had seen in the air at once, Hassan included. From here, it looked like the war was already over. The Dejazmach himself knew better, but the power of the moment still swelled in his heart.<br/><br/>The cheering turned into a contest as the men on the ground tried to out-shout the rumble of the air force. Men howled like hyena's and roared like lions. Some screamed words, like ""Africa!"" or ""Yaqob!"" One man shouted ""Hassan!"" and Hassan smiled. <br/><br/>Another scream overtook the rest. It was a victory cry before the victory. ""Djibouti!"" men began to scream. ""Djibouti!"" and then,<br/>""Volley!""</div>"

A wall of mighty guns trained upon Djibouti, awaiting only the order from Admiral Santiago Santin to smash the city into dust. That order would come soon - once the swarm of landing boats now being lowered into the sea had reached a safe distance from their own guns. The muzzle fire from one such naval battery could incinerate a house. No matter: time was on the side of the Spanish; Djibouti was going nowhere, but it could be hoped that the Ethiopian defenders would loose heart in the face of the coming onslaught and would flee rather than resist.<br/><br/>Luis glanced longingly back to the Armada's ships as his landing craft drifted toward the shore some four kilometers away. On those ships, the private felt relatively safe. The primacy of Spain's blue water navy was uncontested - barring a naval intervention by the Chinese, the Spanish fleet could never be threatened. Behind the study hull of the <span class=""bb-i"">Golondrina</span>, nothing could hurt him. But in this rusting old boat, rocking and bobbing about in the sea, Luis would be utterly helpless if calamity were to strike. He could only pray and hope that the Lord would steer this boat through sea mines and incoming shells. Even an errant wave could spell disaster, spilling Luis and his companions into the open water.<br/><br/>Those companions did not seem to share Luis' concern. There was a tension amongst the men to be sure, but it was not one of timid reservation. Brief comments here and there met with short bouts of laughter. Luis' comrades were coiled springs, ready to be released from the landing boat and thrown against the Ethiopians. It was a palpable eagerness - they, after all, would be the ones to redeem the imperial splendor of Spain. Hector in particular seemed as though the spirit of Cortes and Pizarro were spurring him on against the Aztec and Inca of the modern age.<br/><br/>""Did the Armada forget how to shoot those guns? What gives?"" One of the infantry spoke up.<br/><br/>""What's the range on those things anyway?"" Another added.<br/><br/>""I've heard something like forty kilometers.""<br/><br/>""Shit, those ships get any closer to shore and they'll be able to clear us a path all the way to Addis!""<br/><br/>""Forty kilometers on a <span class=""bb-i"">good</span> day."" Lieutenant Ayesta corrected, leaning against the hull of the landing craft as the boat rolled over a wave crest. Droplets of foamy seawater splashed over the side and fell upon their olive-beige combat helmets. ""And today is not a particularly good day as these things go. That storm's going to be on the Armada's ass in a few hours and you bet those gusts will play havoc on shells sailing through thirty to forty-five kilometers of air. They're getting in as close as they can. No reason not to; we've got aerial superiority and Ethiopia just lost what's left of a navy."" Chuckles and grunts of approval rang out over the rumble of the diesel engine churning through the sea to the rear of the boat.<br/><br/>Luis craned his neck over the lip of the hull toward the shore. His boat was at the rear of a loose, vaguely-linear cluster of landing craft - one of the first waves. They had traversed about half of the distance between the Armada and the coast - heightening waves and the beginnings of whitecaps showed that the water was already quite shallow here. The landing boat was no longer rolling over the surf, but powering through it. The diesel motor revved angrily as the front of the boat plowed over the ridge of a wave - shattering it into a mist of beads shimmering in the spotlight the driver had switched on minutes earlier. As the boat bobbed up with the waves, Luis could see with some clarity their target, their destination.<br/><br/>Orange streetlights glowed over the inky darkness of the water, illuminating the city against the encroaching darkness. For the bastion of communist sympathy in the West, Luis was not particularly impressed by what he could see of Ethiopia so far. Djibouti was by no means a grand city, the buildings washed in the glow of halogen streetlamps went no higher than a few stories - a far cry from the glittering high rises and office complexes of Alicante, Valencia, or Barcelona. Wharves, warehouses, and loading cranes silhouetted against the reflected glow of the city against the nighttime sky could be seen off to the north. There was no doubt that any shipping-related infrastructure would be the first things the Armada would target; denying Ethiopia an important resupply port was a vital point of the Spanish strategy. Directly ahead was the ebbing whiteness of surf-driven foam crashing against a beach: a more suitable medium for a waterborne invasion.<br/><br/>An explosive flash materialized somewhere in the city, followed immediately by a handful of others. Several seconds passed before the distance-dulled boom of the blasts registered. The barrage had begun, eliciting cheerful whoops from the Spanish soldiers. No sooner than the Armada's initial salvo had begun, the unmistakable roar of helicopter propellers came in loud over the crashing surf. Barracuda gunships engorged with infantry swooped just over the landing craft crawling through the waves. They would carry heavily-armed fireteams behind the enemy's defensive lines, further encouraging the mass rout of Ethiopian forces that General Ponferrada so desired. For his own sake, Luis hoped that the Ethiopians would quail at the sight of this display of force.<br/><br/>Another shell fell upon Djibouti, deep within. It triggered an explosion that blossomed into a churning fireball, then rose upward above the city turning from bright orange and yellow and mushrooming into a deep red cloud. Embers and smoke billowed upward as the fireball expanded over the city. Another round of cheers as the sound of that explosion met their ears.<br/><br/>""Must have hit a fuel depot with that one!"" One of Luis' peers exclaimed.<br/><br/>Another infernal flash materialized up to the north, nearer to the harbor. And then another flash, and another...<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Jesucristo</span>! Armada's making these shots count!""<br/><br/>""That's not the Armada."" Lieutenant Ayesta declared, craning his neck to look back over the driver's platform. ""Our guns aren't firing.""<br/><br/>""What a bunch of fucking morons!"" Hector cackled. ""They're shelling their own city!""<br/><br/>As the soldiers burst into hysterics at the supposed stupidity of their enemy, Luis watched as the fireballs continued to blossom forth from the bursts of light, each one merging into a horizon of firelight. Djibouti - the entire city - was rapidly beginning to burn.<br/>__________________________________<br/><br/>Admiral Santiago Santin stood at the helm of <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira de Dios</span>, his arms crossed behind his back as he pressed himself against the windshield of the aircraft carrier's control tower. A pair of state-of-the-art infrared binoculars rested upon a nearby console; Admiral Santin had no need for them now, he could see everything he needed to. An infernal glow radiated across the hills and deserts surrounding the port city as the conflagration grew ever more intense.<br/><br/>""That bastard!"" General Ponferrada snarled, joining Santin's side in watching the great fire. ""I knew he'd do something of this caliber.""<br/><br/>""Communists would sooner see their country burn than allow it to fall from their grasp. I'm not at all surprised either. It does complicate your landings. How does this affect your plan moving forward?""<br/><br/>""It doesn't."" Ponferrada decided matter-of-factly. ""The only thing that they've accomplished with this feat is sparing us the munitions to destroy Djibouti. It was never my intent to engage them in urban combat, and it seems that Hassan is no more interested in guerrilla warfare than I am. A career of fighting Belgians and separatists in the bush has made him fond of a more open field of combat - I must assume he's forgotten that Ethiopia proper is a land devoid of cover. The Fuerza Aerea will burn his forces out of any hole he tries to hide in, and he cannot win a set piece battle against the Ejercito. <br/><br/>The Barracudas will take the forward guard into their midst and dispatch their artillery without difficulty. Forces arriving on the beaches will simply have to pick a path through the city, or perhaps await aerial extraction if the fires get too expansive. This stunt might have impressed that <span class=""bb-i"">maricon</span> Demessie, but it will take much more than napalm shells and a few hundred liters of kerosine to faze me.""<br/><br/>General Ponferrada glanced furtively about the bridge, ensuring the officers and ensigns were occupied with other matters. Satisfied no one was paying particularly close attention, he leaned into Santin's ear. ""On the subject of impressing these savages, we have the opportunity to spare ourselves any combat here. We can avoid all confrontation for this landing,"" he whispered. He took one more glance over his shoulder before continuing.<br/><br/>""I know as well as you do that the <span class=""bb-i"">Cascabel</span> carries nerve gas shells, and that the Prime Minister has granted you permission to use them at your discretion. Their artillery batteries and formations could be dispatched with a handful of shells...""<br/><br/>""No,"" Santin curtly denied. ""Those will be sorely needed before this war is finished. I have no intention of wasting them on Ethiopian artillery battalions of all things.""<br/><br/>Before he could continue, the Admiral took note of a sudden uptick in the chatter amongst the officers at their consoles. Santin approached the communications officer to be appraised of the situation at hand.<br/><br/>""The <span class=""bb-i"">Cimmarón</span> has reported radar contacts moving overland. Attempting to confirm...,"" an epaulet-sporting officer informed the Admiral in between conversations through his headset.<br/><br/>""I can confirm: unidentified contacts on radar moving in at 220 knots, heading of 105 degrees!"" A white-clad ensign reported. ""Aircraft and lots of it!""<br/><br/>""I want every fixed-wing aircraft on the carrier airborne in the next seven minutes."" Admiral Santin snapped. ""Get those flak guns firing."" A chorus of 'Aye's and '<span class=""bb-i"">Entendido, almirante</span>'s responded to each order. ""General, do I understand that there are gunships moving inland?""<br/><br/>""That's correct."" With this, the General's face drained of color.<br/><br/>""Then you turn them the Hell around.""</div>"

Time had become a smudge of unplaceable memories for Azima, each thought drowned in the deep primal pain caused by the fear that her child was lost. She had not seen a survivor since their plane went down in the Gulf of Aden.  <br/><br/>She glided along the beach like a ghost clad in white. The pearl-white dress that she had worn to impress the Chinese was soaked, and it clung wetly to her skin. She had lost the gaudy cheetah pelt that had draped her shoulders, and her shoes were missing as well. The sea had made her skin cool and clammy. It was a sorry state that she was in now, and she felt disoriented and unable to regain her bearing. <br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she heard herself yell. ""Tewodros! Olivier! Elani!"" she screamed their names as loud as she could, but she did not feel as if it were her that was yelling. She could see herself looking for wreckage, but that did not feel as if that were her either. She was imprisoned in her own mind, with no choice but to watch herself panic.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!""<br/><br/>The sun had set just over the western edge of the sea, but its light had not gone out quite yet. The sky blazed a brilliant red, having swallowed all of the sun's parting light. The earth below was left in the shadow of twilight, where the ocean clamored and sprayed.<br/><br/>She was deeply disturbed by the absence of any evidence that there had been a crash. There was no wreckage, no bodies, and no perturbance out at sea. She was the only living thing that she could see, except for the chattering cormorants that gathered on the rocks and flew away when she came near them. She felt like she was in some horrible limbo, detached from her own life, and suffering the horror of a missing son.<br/><br/>""Tewodros! Elani!"" she shouted again.<br/><br/>She tried to recall what happened before their plane went into the ocean. She could remember the enemy, though she never saw him. It had been an enemy aircraft with supernatural abilities. It had appeared as a speck against the overcast skies, and then it was right behind them. This had happened in a single, horrifying instant. <br/><br/>As she came around the edge of a pillar of rock that jutted across the beach, her concentration was broken. She could think of nothing but what she might see on the other side. Anxiety took control of her body, making her bones ache. She jogged ahead, the chilled ocean wind making her cold in her wet dress. What would she see? The other side revealed itself slowly.<br/><br/>There was nothing. Rocks, and more rocks. The white sand was the color of rust in the scant light of the newly absent sun.<br/><br/>Her knees went weak then, but she could not give in. She was angry now. Rage built into a waiting scream in her chest, and she let it all out in a shrill wail that was full of hatred and fevered fear. A spooked cormorant shot up into the sky, chattering a warning to its fellows.<br/><br/>She began to gather herself, little by little.<br/><br/>Azima wanted to fight the ocean. That was her natural instinct, as little sense as it made. She wanted to punish the water that had swallowed her last connection to the world. She wanted to set this island flat so that every corner and crevice that might hide what she sought would be naked to her eyes.<br/><br/>Memories of the attack in the sky returned to her. The screaming of metal as bullets put holes in their plane, the bloody explosion of a young priest's knee as one of those same bullets hit it, and the deadly sputter of the engines as they all failed one after another in response to the stress of the one that had been damaged by the firefight. That was when the demonic attacker disappeared in a flash and thunder. <br/><br/>Was it lightning? The storm - and it had hardly been a storm - was not enough to produce lightning. It had hardly been enough to produce rain. No, it could not be lightning, but what else? She did not have the resources to know.<br/><br/>By now, the clouds were a dark smear treading across the northern sky. The ocean still churned, a tumult the color of a well-rotted corpse. Its roar deadened in her ears, just as it had when the pilot fought to bring them down into the sea without completely destroying them.<br/><br/>The last thing she remembered was holding her son, and watching the priests as they clung to the box that held the Ark of the Covenant. That was the strongest memory out of them all. She didn't know how to describe what they had done. It was not clinging truly. Not like the embrace she held her baby boy in. It had been like something from art. They had been <span class=""bb-i"">lamenting</span> the Ark, throwing their bodies against it and mourning as gravity assailed the plane and forced them into the blackness of the water. The memory chilled her to the bone. <br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she continued to scream. Her feet were numb from the pain of scattered rocks as she climbed from the ruddy beach toward the hills above. He was a strong boy. Had he wandered off, healthy but confused? Darkness was gathering, and she did not know what beasts lived on this island.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" here voice was becoming hoarse. How long had she been wandering? ""Tewodros!"" <br/><br/>""Olivier!"" she shouted. He wasn't her child, and he was missing an arm. How hopeless was a one armed child in an unsettled sea? ""Elani!"" she shouted the third name, her mother in law. The older woman was senile. Could she comprehend enough to survive? <br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" he was strong. Her boy could live. He must have lived.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!""<br/><br/>""Tewodros!""<br/><br/>""Tewodros!""<br/><br/>She began to worry about the temperature. She knew how to survive in the African bush, but the dangers there rarely included hypothermia. She was not sure if she was in that sort of danger - she was numb from fear and simple tiredness. Her lungs ached, and she was not sure if that was from her screaming or the water she had swallowed before she washed up on the shore.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she her voice was dry and parched. She was stumbling across uneven terrain. A fire was needed. She didn't want to stop looking, not for a minute, but her son would need a fire too. He might see the light, or the smoke. It would not only be warmth, it would be a signal!<br/><br/>She began to gather driftwood.<br/><br/>The first piece of wood she tried to lift surprised her. It felt as heavy as iron. Was she that weak now? She wondered if she had lost her survival skills from living the life of an Empress. Or was she simply more tired than she realized? Log by log, she created a pile to burn. Tinder could be found in the dry brush that grew away from the beach. She was nearly ready.<br/><br/>When she had served in her father's early version of the Walinzi, she would carry a knife who's steel could be brought to spark when scraped against a sharp-edged stone, but she had no steel now. That was no matter. A fire was absolutely necessary.<br/><br/>The rocks deposited near the shore by the ocean were rounded like river pebbles. There was no flint nearby as far as she could tell. Desperate, she gathered the best stones she could find and squatted over her tinder. <br/><br/>She scraped and scraped. No sparks. The anger she had wanted to release on the ocean was now turned against the rocks. Scrape, scrape, scrape. Nothing. The sky had faded to a dying purple. She was going to be left in the dark.<br/><br/>For a while, she watched her sad, unlit pile of driftwood with distant eyes. What now? Her instincts told her not to wander the wilderness at night, but her maternal soul rebelled against that. She had to search! Her child was out there! As her eyes began to adjust to the night, she stood up and continued her search.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she shouted out on top of her lungs. A new fear, the human fear of unknown darkness, gave her a new wind. She walked gracelessly on bare feet made sore by her wandering.<br/><br/>She saw a shadow that looked like a sea monster thrusting from the base of a jagged cliff face. It was a baobab tree, she realized, who's obese trunk was crowned by wriggling branches. She knew that they could be hollow. If she were a child, that was where she would hide.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she shouted again. ""Olivier! Elani!""<br/><br/>She searched the tree and found no opening for a child to hid in. Fruitlessly, she knocked on the tree with her knuckles. When she realized how pointless that had been, she wondered if she was losing her mind. <br/><br/>The sharp rises that followed the coast began to plummet as she flitted across the shore. There were places where she could climb into the land beyond the coast. If the priests had survived, or the pilot, would they have led the children inland to find help? The ocean was beginning to make her feel hopeless, and her instincts told her to leave it behind. She obeyed.<br/><br/>Beach sand and tumbled stones gave way to jagged rocks and scrub-land. Strange trees sprouted up across the landscape like coniferous toadstool mushrooms. There were bloated baobabs as well, and smaller bush-like trees that looked similar to baobabs. <br/><br/>When she saw how jagged the rocks were here, she began to think about fire again. <br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she shouted again. Ridges and rocky hills rose on either side of her, enclosing something of a valley that opened toward the sea. Would smoke from a fire be visible across enough land to make it worth while? She could not doubt herself. It was a chance. A pile of ready drift-wood waited behind her, but she could not turn back. There was nothing for her back there. <br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she shouted.<br/><br/>Her search for wood was harder than she expected it to be. Before she could find anything, she spotted what looked like a house. That was it! She knew her son would be there. It was the most fitting place for her search to end. He would be safe there, with a family of loyal Africans! She shuffled toward it in a hurry.<br/><br/>The house was a simple place, she could see. It was a pile of stones with a roof. A thatched grass wall surrounded it. There was no light, and that scared her at first, until she realized that there were no windows either. Where would light come from if there were no windows?<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she began to yell, louder and louder. She felt a sharp pain stab into her foot, and she recoiled from the rock that caused it, but she did not slow down for long. She did not know if it had drawn blood or not, and she did not care.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she screamed. ""Olivier! Elani!""<br/><br/>She realized that she would be talking to natives, so she framed her thoughts. Where was she? She hadn't taken much time to consider. This had to be Socotra, she realized at once. Socotra or one of its lesser islands. Those had been the nearest place to where they went down, and the shore she had woken up on faced the north-west. If this was Yemen, there would be no north-western shore. <br/><br/>Her heart pounded as she rounded the house. She came to the door. Her heart sank and fell to pieces. It was abandoned. There was weeds growing on the dirt floor. <br/><br/>Azima screamed and punched the wall. Pain recoiled through her knuckles, but she did not care. What would she do now? A part of her told her to fall to her knees, but that scared her. She couldn't give up. Her child was in this wilderness. Her baby boy. <br/><br/>And so Azima wandered further into the dusk.<br/><br/>She heard what she thought was the air, but when she looked up she realized there were clouds of fluttering bats. Were they following her? She felt paranoid. She did not know what lurked in the wild places of this island. Wisdom told her that she should stay put, and she remembered her fire now, but anger and pain was effecting her judgement. She pushed ahead as the insects came out and began to sing. Soil stung at the wound on her foot. Red dust caked what had been a white dress, and it was fraying at the bottom.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she shouted. In vain, she considered for a moment. No. She could not think that. ""Tewodros!""<br/><br/>She returned to her plan for a fire. A mushroom-capped coniferous tree suggested easy wood, and she began to search around it. Nothing dead lay on the ground. Unthinking, she moved to another tree. There was a stick. She gathered it under her arm and continued.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she yelled again as she found another stick. Fire! That would save her and bring back her boy. Fire!<br/><br/>Another stick, and then another. She found one oozing with a sticky goo that looked like blood in the night, but she picked it up anyway. She couldn't find any of the large pieces that would let a fire burn slow and long, but that did not matter. Sticks would do in a pinch. For kindling, she considering the woven grass and stick fence that surrounded the abandoned hut.<br/><br/>A low, lonely tune played loud across the valley. It sounded like the cry of a cow, but it lasted longer and held a sad musical note. It took her a moment to realize what she had heard.<br/><br/>It was a horn.<br/><br/>""Tewodros!"" she shouted at the sound, which could only be played by a human. She heard distant clamor of a dozen voices carried behind the constant song of desert insects. And then she saw the fire.<br/><br/>Not fire. Fires. There were many small fires burning.<br/><br/>They came holding torches, a dozen men in faded brown tunics and simple rough-spun shirts. These were the natives, she knew at once. These were a people long descended from the Yemeni of the Arab peninsula, their blood mixed with the peoples of the African Horn and travelers from distant India. To Azima, they looked like Africans with their deeply tanned skin and wiry messes of hair.<br/><br/>""Queen from the plane!"" one man shouted in rough Arabic. ""We have come to find you!""<br/><br/>""Do you have my son?"" she asked desperately. ""The Prince? Have you found him?""<br/><br/>She watched the faces of the men in the flickering torchlight. Cold. What did they know? How many could understand her?<br/><br/>""Yes."" the man answered. ""We have found the children and the Christians. They are safe.""<br/><br/>At that, she began to cry.<br/><br/>They surrounded her like an entourage of royal guards, and the heat from their torches made her feel warm for the first time since she had woken up. She felt intensely excited to see her baby boy again, but she was no longer worried.

A slow reverberating and temperamental beat slashed the air. With each pass of the blade came another blink from the waves below as the solemn helicopter hovered over head. Skimming over the waves as they lowered over a piece of debris in the sea.<br/><br/>There was a sense of tensity. Not in just getting to the piece of aircraft metal that bobbed in the waves, the silvery finish of the piece shining like a silver jewel in the sun, though now the wear of salt water was dulling the sheen and even the cheap paint that was on it was starting to fade and wash away in the wear of sun and sea.<br/><br/>Sen Zhou leaned out the side door of the loitering helicopter as its rails touched the very tops of the ocean water. “We're not going any lower!” the pilots screamed over the radio as they bounced up higher. They were right. The force of the rotors was beginning to kick up a heavy mist of ocean spray. Alongside Zhou a youthful private reached out with his hand, his belly laying flat on the helicopter's floor as he put his face into the middle of the spray. Feebly grabbing for the piece of waste that lay in the waves.<br/><br/>“It doesn't matter!” Zhou kicked, the private recoiled back inside, his fingers brushing the wet surface of the metal, “There's no one here. Move along.” she ordered.<br/><br/>“Copy that, comrade.” the pilots responded.<br/><br/>The helicopter lifted off, raising back into the sunny warm skies as they continued to sweep over the ocean. Water dripped from the side, and the beads that circulated in the down-draft created a cloud of white-gold that cut and sparkled in the clear air. Meanwhile over the radio, subdued discussion and reports came in. Spanish and Ethiopian forces were clashing over the smoldering fires of Djibouti, set to light the previous night.<br/><br/>Still, the concerns of the Spanish course had to be cut from the mission. Zhou had been ordered north by Cao and other officers on behalf of the Ethiopians to seek out answers and make a report on the lost royal transport. Instead of sitting put on the coast, minding a radio the female officer had opted to take direct part. She wasn't about to be idle. She was more proactive than that. Staying where it was safe during the battles in the jungles of Mindanao hadn't won anyone favor. And it wouldn't her. No, it was abiding to something greater. A constant need to prove herself in a organization that was, by its best efforts, still presided over by men.<br/><br/>There was much for her ilk to surpass. And she couldn't do it by being merely adequate.<br/><br/>Rising into the air again the expanse of the search zone became evident again. Cao didn't have many assets at his command to utilize. But it was far more than the Ethiopians could muster. And for all of Cao's cowardice and pretty-boy book training he and the Ethiopians could at least come to one agreement: Ethiopian assets were best used against Spain.<br/><br/>For the Chinese, it was the meager fleet of helicopters at Cao's commands. For now under the direct assignment of their operations officer. Black dots combed the distance. Chinese light helicopters. Máquè  B-1s. For her experience, something that hauled the wounded around. Lightly-built, little actual combat role. But heavy lifting all the same.<br/><br/>In the center of the orbiting swarm drifted a flotilla of small boats. At the middle a solid gray tortoise, a stand-out from the brown and rusting dinghies that surrounded it. Their helicopter lander was a stranger among fishermen that the Chinese had recruited to search for bodies. In exchange the fishermen got to keep any debris they could to sell as scrap. It wasn't a high-reward, but many of the old men were gleeful, hoping to get something valuable. If anything failed, Cao had promised some sort of reward allocated to them for the effort. They'd only pulled in five of them.<br/><br/>“How long are we going to keep at this?” complained the private as he whipped away the salt water with the sleeves of his fatigues. He scowled at the expansive emptiness of the ocean, and the vague suggestion of islands in the far distance.<br/><br/>“For as long as we need to.” Zhou replied in a low voice, leaning out the side.<br/><br/>She scowled at the sight of the wider wreck sight. Speckles of metal dotted the water. But she knew these were all dead ends. Perhaps some might have hope. Maybe carrying something that would promise hope. Being the carriage for maybe – if morbidly – a hand or some body part they could take and bring back. Heralding it as confirmation of a death and sealing the case as a whole. Zhou doubted if the Ethiopians even had black boxes. But if they did they'd need to dive. And for sure they didn't have divers or a way to retrieve it.<br/><br/>Currents had shifted the debris field. That much was sure. They found what meager ends they could just off of the engagement zone. Was this because the Spanish found them first and engaged the Ethiopian plane earlier? Had it kept on, blowing smoke until forcing itself to land.<br/><br/>Which ever the case it hadn't had the decency to stay in larger pieces. Shred remained. Zhou had hoped for a wing. If anything, these could be excused as garbage. Or debris that somehow made it from the Red Sea after the fierce fighting between the Ethiopians and the Spanish.<br/><br/>And perhaps even on that assumption it could have felt better – for her – if they located a soaked, drowned corpse of an Ethiopian sailor. It might have excused away this mess and they could go elsewhere.<br/><br/>Zhou pulled away from the doorway, carefully moving to the pilot's cabin. Leaning against the cold rails she peered out at the open seas between the two pilots as they set out.<br/><br/>Their radios popped, “Comrade Zhou.” a voice said, “We found something you should see.” a report cracked over her headset. She stood up, pressing her hand to her headphones.<br/><br/>“Speak up,” she demanded, “What did you find?”<br/><br/>“Survivors, comrade.” the comms popped, the muffled thumping of the helicopter blades distorted the words as they sawed through the air from both ends, “They're on a wing piece, no sight of the Emperess. But you should see this out.<br/><br/>“We'll set up a flare on our position. Over.”<br/><br/>“I copy that, waiting.” Zhou nodded. A feeling of relief came on her as a weight of failure pulled itself off. She locked up through the cockpit windshield, looking for the tell-tale flaire.<br/><br/>To their left, piercing the bright afternoon day-light a red spark shot into the clear diamond blue. “That's them.” Zhou pointed, “Head there.” she ordered the pilots.<br/><br/>“Will do.” the two men responded. The chopper pitched softly to the side as they sputtered off across the waves in the direction of the flare.<br/><br/>The Máquè glode through the air, drawing near to the chopper that had launched the flare. There below it, drifting and bobbing in the air sat a group of men, dressed in white robes plastered to their bodies from the water. Their whetted faces looked up to the commanding aircraft as it neared. But none of them jumped up, nor hailed the Chinese helicopter to them.<br/><br/>It was as if the Chinese were not their point of interest. Nor any salvation. Zhou watched as another emerged from the water, and clambered aboard the drifting piece of metal floating at sea. Helped up by his companions, another dove into the dark steely depths of the Indian ocean.<br/><br/>“What's the situation?” asked Zhou as they flew in close. The rotors kicked up a mist of water as the down-thrust disturbed the ocean surface.<br/><br/>“They won't talk to us.” the other chopper responded, “We've been in orbit for several minutes and they've not answered any of our approaches.”<br/><br/>Zhou looked from them to the white-robbed men drifting at sea. Around their waists they wore scabbards. The curved handles of scimitars glimmered in the sun. “Let me try.” she turned, moving from the pilots to the side door of her coach.<br/><br/>Hanging out the side the chopper lowered. Her shortened hair whipped in the cool wet breeze. She squinted against the dashing droplets of water as they came down.<br/><br/>“I am Zhoong xiao Sen Zhou, Chinese Army. Pemba detachment.” she introduced herself, she had limited Amharic; boasting only what she came to know in a commanding position such as her own. Her command and identity seemed to anger the men even more. They looked up at her with no compassion. Only a subdued anger and annoyance, “We've offered you help to get out, what seems to be the problem?” she asked.<br/><br/>Neither answered. Sitting in subdued silence as the one who had emerged from the water fresh continued to draw hearty breath. “Answer me!” she demanded.<br/><br/>“Listen you insolent woman!” one of the men roared, shooting up from his seat. A thin wiry beard hung heavy like a soaked cat from his chin, “We do not take orders from heathens such as yourself! Begone you godless bitch, or I'll cut you!” he bellowed, drawing the saber from his hip.<br/><br/>Rattling the sword he swore, “The might of God is with me. And not with you! Cursed wench, take you and your bastard sons home and whore yourself elsewhere!”<br/><br/>Like a gunshot, a hot rose bloomed inside her chest at the bite of the words. The man waved the curved scimitar above his head. Screaming in his African tongue. “The fuck you say to me!?” Zhou screamed, “You're a stubborn old man. The might of God my own yellow ass you gentry swine!” her knuckles wrapped the metal frame of the helicopter as she leaned out further. The other reaching for the revolver at her hip.<br/><br/>“Don't you insult me!” she bellowed. She ran through bullets. She'd been slashed, stabbed at, shot at, and exploded on. To prove herself. She wasn't going to have a senile priest tell her what she can't do.<br/><br/>The heavy weight of the revolver at her hip felt warm. Inviting. “I'll have you bleed in the ocean!” she promised, unsnapping the leather straps that held it to her holster. But before she could draw it, a hand held hers in place, forcing the gun down.<br/><br/>“Comrade, no!” a soldier demanded, “Don't make it any worse! Get back in here.” he begged.<br/><br/>She fought against him. The defiant figure of the Ethiopian standing just meters away, atop the chunk of aluminum wing as it sloshed in the water. But as she quivered and seethed in offense, she couldn't pull out the Changu. The regular's hands held hers down too tight as she was pulled back in.<br/><br/>“We found someone, that's all we need.” the soldier soothed. Back inside the chopper she was numb to the cold droplets of water that dripped down her. The anger that boiled inside was hot, nullifying sensation. It demanded her to kill. But her was command, restraining her.<br/><br/>“W-we'll go back to land, report it in.” the private continued nervously. He was the private from before. His eyes were wide and afraid.<br/><br/>“They're dead.” she said.<br/><br/>“W-what?” the private asked.<br/><br/>“We're getting back, I'm filling out the paperwork. We found the bodies of multiple deceased men. But we're still looking for the royal family.” she still shook. But condemning the pious bastards on that chunk of aluminum felt all the more calming than shooting them. They'd be dead officially, but in reality they would float and starve until that blinding piety suffocated them.<br/><br/>“That's all.” she sneered, “GET THIS UP, WE'RE LEAVING!” she roared to the pilots.<br/><br/>“Yes, comrade.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Bargaal</div><br/><br/>He lay listening to the rattle of the truck bed under him. Nested on a mattress of straw and of hay the pilot lay staring at the open empty sky above. He felt tired, and still sore. But most importantly he was thirsty. His mouth itched with a dry cottony texture. It irritated him. Right now: more so than having to crash his plane.<br/><br/>It was probably fortunate enough he didn't plunge so hard he broke his neck. But he felt out of whack. Disoriented. Parts of him throbbed from when he had come back to Earth. He could only guess how the initial moment went when he hit the ground. He was alive, he must have been slow enough. And the angle at which he came down at must have been small enough. There was no head on collision with anything. No explosions. Just the fuel gauge dropping to zero and the buzzing sirens that screamed inside his cabin. He knew then that he had to bring it down over the Somalian horn.<br/><br/>He'd been going inland. Now he was smelling the sea again. He was going the wrong way. But it was something.<br/><br/>The circumstances for his rescue were perhaps only coincidence. A day passed over which he lay in the shade of a tree. Just waiting for the pain to subside before he made the trek out. But before he could bare to stand a herdsman had found him. Out of breath and ecstatic, the African had yelled in his foreign tongue, smacking Han Wen about the cheek and ebbing him out of his sleep in the hot Somalian sun.<br/><br/>Wen didn't know how to respond, which is probably why he ended up in the truck. Obviously the man thought he wasn't a threat. Not by much. He sounded almost sympathetic to him. He talked slow and carefully, even if he couldn't understand him. He was a stranger, but he wanted to sound like a friend as he helped him up and brought him to the bed of a battered pick-up that could have easily been post-war. Perhaps it had been a supply truck left over when the British failed to depose the Mad Mullah. Or perhaps it was a German gift for aligning with the Kaiser during the Great War.<br/><br/>Wen couldn't say what. He didn't care. All that lingered was the insurmountable wish to drink. And an ebbing secretive hunger deep in his belly.<br/><br/>The ride had been smoother than he had anticipated in Africa, where the land was said to be untamed. Even to the Chinese, Africa was a mysterious land with an Emperor curiously supported by their own. Their people dark and varied. Training alongside them was a chore, they acted as if they haven't heard of order. They were rowdy, unkempt, and possessed little in the way of modern technology and discipline. It was probably as well they had an Emperor.<br/><br/>But the soldiers he trained alongside were his only taste in the African continent. They and Pemba in general. On a good day, the island base was almost a vacation haven. Had things not been going as-is he and his compatriots should have been lounging on the beach, with their allotment of beer handed to them by the quartermaster. They'd have practiced their flights, puttered with the engines, and then they'd be spending the evening on the warm sand as the cool evening surf washed their ankles. Chen Wu would be making terrible jokes, and Song Yu would be prowling the surf looking for crabs.<br/><br/>He always talked about making a bowl of African crab in an oyster sauce.<br/><br/>But none of that involved the Africans. Hardly so. Africans were a twice weekly thing. They'd get in a car, drive down the island, and sit down with their partners in the sister base and go over with them on how to maintain rotary airplanes. They didn't have jets. They didn't even so much know they had them.<br/><br/>China was the future. Africa was the past. And Europe was a land of caution.<br/><br/>Off the cattle tracks now, the old beater chugged along down smooth pavement as the late morning sun slowly climbed the stairway of heaven. Each step another minute that passed. And he didn't know where he was going. Just that it was to the shore.<br/><br/>Over the sound of the clanging truck bed and the aged hum of an engine too suffocated to be moving he heard other noises. Traffic noises. Life noises. It spurned him to sit up out of his straw bed. His muscles ached and protested as he sat up straight. He swayed forward and to the side with the movement of the truck along the asphalt road.<br/><br/>Trailing the truck was a motorcycle. Rumbling gently behind it with a rough coughing voice. Its rider stared up at the Chinese passenger. His unprotected face sprung into mild surprise. Wen looked around, he had entered into a town. White-washed houses and business stood over the road. Telephone poles marched along the street. And a network of webbed electrical cables and telephone lines twisted about between. Like the familiar web of wire and band at home. There was just as little organization here as there. And with it, so to were the sounds of street life.<br/><br/>The passing of car engines. The idle weaving of traffic – mechanical and otherwise – and the polite conversation of the native locals. It struck Wen as a surprise, where Addis was the only city he knew of in Africa. Where Addis was only a city because it was a capital. In the old stories, Africa was a land of thatch huts and half naked women. But here there were town buildings, much like where he was from.<br/><br/>He leaned forward, past the wooden side wall of the truck's bed to the street and sidewalk alongside him. Men and women, plainly clothed, walked along. Dark-skinned men with wiry black beards strolled alongside dark-skinned women, heads covered in bright colorful hijabs. There was a sense of order in these streets. Just like at home.<br/><br/>If it had not been for the mud-brick, and the sun-baked, and sand-choked cinder blocks. The roofing as far as he could tell was nonexistent. Existing in suggestion only by tiled edges or the trim overhangs of corrugated metal. Many buildings, older in their construction boasted decorative, peaked crenellations of sandstone, eroded and washed out over centuries.<br/><br/>The truck continued its lumbering quest through the small town streets. Passing by homes and the base of a minaret, its skin coated in a heavy hide of fresh mud glowing in the sunlight. The flattened roof of the building crowned in white porcelain merlons. Passing alongside the simple mud-built mosque the truck came to a stop. Idling its engines for a moment before dying completely with a wet soapy gurgle.<br/><br/>Wen sat, confused in the silence and lost. Beyond the walls of the mosque he saw glittering in the sun the great gray sea.<br/><br/>The door to the cabin slammed shut and the driver charged out. Calling out in his confusing foreign language. Like some distant mutation on Arabic, familiar to him only as second hand. The driver rushed around the back, calling out and clamoring. He beamed with a certain celebration and hospitality. But his forthrightness and energy was more a discomfort than he was not.<br/><br/>He was a springy man. Long and lanky. His hands had known work, and so did his arms. Chaffed and calloused with working with rock or animal; Wen couldn't tell what. His hair curled and messy in a wild electrical afro and with an equally stringy thin beard.<br/><br/>The driver babbled on. Gesturing to his legs, his shoulders. He knew the two didn't speak the same language, but he could try to pantomime. He gestured until the message got across: how was he?<br/><br/>Wen chose to answer him in the stiffest way he could. Pushing himself up off the bed of the truck to stand against the tail gate. His body was sore, and he felt he was tearing his limbs off if they bent too far. But leaning against the rough body of the wooden planks he could indeed stand.<br/><br/>“Mo-ga-dishu.” Han Wen said slowly, hoping he could get something across. It was the only word he was sure he'd understand that he knew. “Ca-an I get to Mo-ga-dishu.” he repeated, carefully and slowly.<br/><br/>The Somalian paused, mouthing what the Chinese pilot had said. His eyes lit up with realization, but he frowned. Shaking his head, he took him gently by the shoulders and led him aside to a mud house. He talked, but the only thing he could make note of was the city's name.<br/><br/>He was lead inside a home, across from the mosque. Where once lead in he was gently sat down to observe the frenetic energy inside.<br/><br/>Almost as soon as he had come, the dwelling burst with a sort of excitement. The wife – he presumed – cried in surprise, and spoke with the man. Together, the two lead themselves off. Talking quickly in that language of theirs. Batting swift glances to him. Mogadishu came up, but he knew nothing more. And the two disappeared into another room. Slipping away behind a curtain door set in their muddy sandstone wall. And he was alone.<br/><br/>As Wen sat alone, the stability of the dwelling began to dwindle. It began with fluttering footsteps running bare across the tiled floor. Children who came to gawk at the Chinese pilot. Their wide eyes measures him up and down. Their curious looks made him squirm. They resembled predators. Tiny tigers and wolves. Looking upon an abandoned cow with hunger.<br/><br/>Even if in their eyes there was no hunger, only amazement and awe for the foreign pilot sharing their home it still gnawed on Wen. He could feel the jaws of their gaze giving no pause as they looked him over. He smiled weakly, and tried to avert his gaze.<br/><br/>After them came others. Women. Young and old they walked in and through, giving the Chinese pilot anxious looks under hijabs they adjusted nervously as they passed. Some giggled nervously. Wen didn't know whether to smile too. His face remained cold as he watched them by. It silenced them as they left.<br/><br/>As they filed into the next room the sound of chatter rose. Summoning the curious children to them and the men. Perhaps brothers of the one who picked him up, or friends. Cousins perhaps. Did the Somalis live like they, the Chinese? One large family clan in a single home?<br/><br/>But here he was, inside. No doubt their hospitality knew no security for their private dwelling. Were these men from the street then, called in by curiosity by the sawing of the women? Never the less they shuffled by, scratching their beards as they threw Wen curious looks as they disappeared.<br/><br/>The intent of the discussion seemed to shift as the homemakers stepped out from the other room. The loud talkative family bustled around Wen, nearly crowding out the remaining children who shirked away. Nervously they gestured to him and turned to themselves, scratching their heads and shrugging. A few seemed to watch him like they were waiting for him to react.<br/><br/>A dry itch had been resting in the back of his throat, playing cat and mouse with the dry dehydration that lay back there. Finally, the discomfort of I had come to a point. He coughed lightly, covering his mouth. The simple act silenced the group and they looked down on him expectantly.<br/><br/>Nervously, he rose a hand to his mouth. “Water?” he asked apprehensively, miming the drinking from a class.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">Cabitaanka</span>?” his rescuer said, “Cabitaanka!” he repeated, ushering off one of the women to the kitchen, “<span class=""bb-i"">Shiinaha wuu keeni doontaa biyaha!</span>” he called after her.<br/><br/>Wen watched her disappear into the other room, her gray dress trailing behind her. She emerged moments later, a plastic cup in her hand. Anxiously, she handed it over to Wen.<br/><br/>It was water. He sighed in relief as he rose it to take a sip. The water was cool, if not completely cold. It also carried the dry arid taste of clay. But for what it was worth, it was water. The reviving embrace of it chased down the play of dryness of itchiness, and brought back some of his humanity.<br/><br/>He smiled at the woman, bowing thankfully as he handed back the cup. Nervously, she returned the smile and turned back. Her husband, the driver said something to her as she left. Though Wen didn't catch it.<br/><br/>Having drunk, the tension of the room dipped. There was a relaxation among the adults and they turned away from her, breaking into their own orbital groups, though never leaving. The woman returned to Wen again, with the cup. Wen took it gratefully, and sipped the water. Looking up at him the woman held her hand up to her mouth, miming eating.<br/><br/>It took Wen a moment to realize, she was asking if he wanted to eat. “Y-yes.” he nodded uncomfortably.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Omsk</div><br/><br/>“How does the road look?” Hue Wen shouted as he walked between the banks of armored cars. His coat trailed behind him. Opening enough for the hilt of his sword to gleam in the spring-time sun. Omsk sang with the rumble of motor engines and diesel. Plumes of black smoke puffed from exhaust pipes to the clear sapphire skies above.<br/><br/>“Clear to Tyumen, recon reports.” a nimble officer replied back as he rushed to keep pace with the general. Wen may have several decades over the officer behind him, but the age and weight his body insisted on holding couldn't slow him. Not the ryhtym of war and his duties beating soundly in his chest and head. He could hear the low pounding of victory in his head and the phantom promise of sulphur victory.<br/><br/>“They're bunching up on Tyumen. They might be counting on us being careful now that we came this far.” the young man continued. He was Angua's replacement now that he disappeared. Scrawny, short, he had a bushy head of hair. Should it have been a day for inspection the general would have goaded him out. But today was not for public display.<br/><br/>“What was your name again, officer?” Wen turned to ask, stopping alongside the cold gray-steel hull of a armored car.<br/><br/>“Shen Ju-long.” he bowed, “lieutenant assistant analyst to An Angua.”<br/><br/>“Right, well comrade Shen may I assure you we will not rest.” Wen smiled, “We will not give a break. We shall not give a quarter to the enemy. As long as we move we will bring fire.<br/><br/>“Comrade Wu has the whole the plan.” he continued, as he opened the door to the infantry carrier, “He knows who to pick and how to deploy them. I am confident in his abilities to carry out my orders.”<br/><br/>“And what are those?”<br/><br/>“You're splendidly out of the loop.” Wen chided sarcastically from within the armored hull of the vehicle. Ju-Long followed through, squinting in the moment it took his eyes to adjust to the dark light inside.<br/><br/>“I am afraid I am new to this sort of command.” Ju-Long admitted crawling inside and finding a cold hard seat, “I am more used to paying attention to what I'm only told to. Forgive me, comrade.”<br/><br/>“I'll let it slide.” Wen snickered, “We're going to hit Tyumen from three sides and trap them in a pincer. As we grill their front lines from the east here, we will wrap around the sides with the force of a claw. A farmer reaping the field of grain! And in that we shall set them aside as a bushel to be cleaned up.”<br/><br/>Ju-Long rubbed his eyes, he looked down at his feet. Watching his boots fade into clarity as the light dimmed with the shutting door. “I'm afraid I don't understand, comrade. I-” he looked up as he felt his eyes adjust and paused suddenly. The next syllable in his throat hanging in its back. It crawled out, not as a one long exercise in articulation, but as a sudden incommunicable groan.<br/><br/>“Ahhh- sir?” he continued in shock, “What is with the radios?”<br/><br/>“I used to think I was a DJ.” Wen laughed, “But then I found war and the western romance of talking over the radio died away!” he exclaimed, holding out his arms to the bank of radio equipment rigged into the very hull of the vehicle. Glued and bolted to the armored hull, a sudden growth of metal and cables and transistors threw themselves out like a gray cancerous growth.<br/><br/>“What use is a glorious march, if not music to inspire the men and to terrify the enemy with the image of their oncoming demise? And so do we go to the timely thumping of the drums.” he smiled proud.<br/><br/>“Sir, I-I must profess. I- uh. I do not think that is standard and nearly timely.”<br/><br/>“Every good commander should be allotted their eccentricity. Some fancy the old duel. Some prefer to amputate the limbs of their foes. And some such as I like to inspire our ancestral spirit!” he talked like a proud professor, showcasing his latest work. He bounced on his seat as he talked. Ju-Long could only stare at it in mixed confusion and fear.<br/><br/>“Never the less don't feel panic comrade!” Wen cheered, “I have played the drums for a long time. And we will be at the very nucleus of this center column.”<br/><br/>“B-but, airstrikes comrade.” Ju-Long cringed, “We'll be vulnerable! Even if Russian armor doesn't breach your perimeter. T-This... Noise will make us more a target!”<br/><br/>“Bull shit, I called in a favor from a friend of a friend in Mongolia. He said he can do a few things to keep the Russians crippled.” the commander waved dismissively as he fell back in his seat.<br/><br/>“Staff sergeant Wong,” he grinned, “Will you give the order for some thunder?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Certainly.” the sergeant towards the head of the car said, looking out from behind the tangled mess of a computer. He turned back to the radio and in a low certain voice said, “All units, sound the drums.”<br/><br/>There was a moment pause before the beating thunder began. Engines revved outside the armored hull and they were on the move. Ju-Long choked as he felt a pang of concern and nauseous fear eb in his gut.<br/><br/>Multiple stones began to sink in his gut. Though he was never one for combat, it was silence and subtlety that were his tools and his sword. He looked up at his master's gaze. Wen was full and confident with a bright rosy smile. His plump, round cheeks full as a rat's in his stoic confident smile. Outside, the long rhythmic beat of the drums signaled not a march, but a long haul. Every vehicle on decks. All on the road. Russian highways were now theirs.<br/><br/>“Out of a matter of personal... interest.” the young Intel officer started, looking to at least bring one stone to the surface, “What was the favor you called in?”<br/><br/>“Jets.” Wen smiled confidently, “The Mongolian air wing has a few not doing anything. Why not a 'protracted training mission.'” he smiled.<br/><br/>“They'll be hitting any bridges or suspect positions they find and leveling their airports to keep their shit on the ground.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Southern Urals</div><br/><br/>Ullanhu was led along the hallway. The drumming of their feet drowned out by a humming excitement that fluttered and buzzed in the air. A certain excitement had roared to life as thing mobilized themselves. Ullanhu hadn't been completely out of the loop. He knew Makulov had made a move. Whether to their benefit or not, he wasn't certain. But he had been inspired.<br/><br/>Several days prior he had ordered his men on the move. They were headed south, in whatever beater cars they could find, by foot, or even be horse. Rifles and machine-guns were removed from hiding and the Mongolian agent saw what was hidden brought to life. Beneath the village was an armory set down to hide. The remnants of an old military squandered away for the moment. He had been taken be surprise. Stricken with the obviously hidden so hard he drifted through the day light-headed.<br/><br/>A day later he heard Yekaterinburg was under assault. Not by Chinese forces, who were still to far back. But from Russians. It wasn't a hard series of acrobatics for him to connect it all.<br/><br/>And so here he was, again in the Ghost General's lair. Perhaps he was offering his official support to the Chinese. Ulanhu could only be hopeful.<br/><br/>The guards that escorted him opened the heavy oak doors into his office. They stepped aside politely and the Mongolian walked in.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” Ullanhu said tensely, snapping his boots together and wrapping his hands in front of him.<br/><br/>“Good afternoon.” greeted Makulov stepping into the middle of the room. A pistol holster was strapped across his chest. His other wise short blonde hair was capped by his own officer's hat, the old Imperial insignia that had graced the white fabric had been long torn off. At his hip he played with a belt of gear. Tying tight satchels of pistol magazines and other implements.<br/><br/>“I've decided on my course of action.” he continued, “As we speak, I have it in good word that Chinese forces are making headway passed Omsk. Republican forces are in chaos, and it'd appear the northern frontier has been abandoned. Do you know what this means?” he asked.<br/><br/>“That Chinese forces are operating successfully.” the agent nodded, “So I don't see any more reason to doubt. We're making head way as we speak.”<br/><br/>“Of course.” Makulov smiled politely, “So we're going to play our part. But, I have a request for you.” he sighed, pulling the straps and belts tight.<br/><br/>“I will be moving out to join with my men at Yekaterinburg. I will not be here, merely a token number of men will stay behind to provide security. But my troops need me, I do not know how long they can last other wise.<br/><br/>“As a polite gesture of our potential beneficial relationship I will take Yekaterinburg. And hopefully reduce the chance of civilian casualties at the hand of your bombs.” he said 'your bombs' in a matter of hostility. The cold directness shook Ullanhu who stood up straighter, chewing the inside of his cheek as he braced.<br/><br/>“In that respect, I believe we can probably end this conflict early and tilt the scales further in our advantage to force the cessation of Republican land to our side.” he continued, speaking cold and bluntly.<br/><br/>“I was sworn to defend the Russian people. But here I am helping the attacker. I can only hope as such my assistance will prevent the excess deaths of Russian innocents. I want your promise.” he demanded coldly.<br/><br/>“You do.” bowed Ullanhu.<br/><br/>“Very well.” Makulov quietly responded. “So, I need a chip. I need the highest card in the Republican deck, and I want him here with me.<br/><br/>“You're a spy. A agent who managed to sneak this deep into Russia. Can you got further in? Can you survive out there longer than your partner?”<br/><br/>The mention of Jun froze Ullanhu. He hesitated. “I- uh...” he hesitantly replied, “I- um. I suppose I could if I tried.” he said, not believing his own self.<br/><br/>“I want confidence, agent.” Makulov coldly snap. “Can you, or can you not?<br/><br/>“I'll even give you a man of my own if need be. He can help pass you off within Russia.”<br/><br/>“Then I... I guess I could.” Ullanhu nodded, “I can. I can survive Russia.” he nodded affirmatively.<br/><br/>“Excellent.” Makulov smiled, walking over to him and placing a hand of his shoulders. His grip was heavy. His grip was hard. He gave him a light jerk as he smiled down at him.<br/><br/>“I have a young soldier who's been adept enough at moving around. Vasiliy Atinov is his name. I'll send for him and I can give you two our mission.”<br/><br/>“And what would that be?”<br/><br/>“I want president Alexander Belyakov.” Ullanhu felt his heart cover in frost again. His tongue went numb. “That highest card on the Republican deck. Even if he may not vital on his own, his disappearance and our possession of him will help shatter the Republic's resolve.”<br/><br/>“B- why would you want him!?” Ullanhu pleaded, “This is insane!”<br/><br/>“Sometimes the best things are insane.” grinned the Russian as he moved to the door. He looked down at his boots, silent for a moment, “And I am praying on us making lightning strike twice.”<br/><br/>“Twice? That's insane.”<br/><br/>“It's insane the Russians bent to the Chinese demands to arrest Dimitriov!” boomed Makulov, “It's insane the Chinese could not leverage him to make stronger demands! Not fight this war at all! Force the Republic to become a subject of Nikolov if had be! But Beijing had to treat the Republic like a sovereign nation, and to not recognize Siberia – or fuck, even Saint Petersburg – as being the power in Russia. To make them the subordinate soviet in a unified Russia again!<br/><br/>“Comrade, you must understand. I am playing with my people. And if the Republican duma can be so cowardly as to allow such things happen imagine what can be leveraged when the arrest of their president is not a peace offer. It is the very reason for peace!<br/><br/>“At the least we can break the Republic up, and it can be swept up by your people's sheer numbers. No civilian deaths, no military deaths. The Chinese political strength would be enough to force tiny states to fold without firing a shot.<br/><br/>“Do I make myself clear?” Makulov insisted. His face was glowing hot with passion and anger. His dusty blue eyes shone with a furious initiative.<br/><br/>“I-I believe so.” Ullanhu conceded. Lowering his head.<br/><br/>“Good. And thank you.” the general smiled thankfully, adjusting the collar of his uniform. “Now, though we may already by at their capital and blocking their west-ward flight much of the government had fled, including the president. But a considerable amount of ministers are still residing in Yekaterinburg, if because they have no safe choice. We shot down a private aircraft fleeing the city, but in the wreckage we identified their minister of finance.<br/><br/>“We believe president ser Belyakov has fled all the way to Moscow, which is the only other safe city in all of Russia. Defended by Polish private military assets, it's largely clear of Mafiya; though saturated in Polish corruption. He won't be shot there, but I fear there might be a danger if he's there long the Poles might find a means to leverage influence on the conflict. They could even give your people – and my people – hell by getting him to agree to buy more Polish weapons and greatly update their military. And both of us will be on the lesser end.<br/><br/>“So, the situation has some significant ramifications. I'll brief you and your new partner fully when he arrives. But realize, I want him out of Moscow and out here. If you can not, you do have permission to kill him. Just make sure to put as many ministers as well in the line of fire if you must. We must break the necks of the pigs to save us.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Surgut</div><br/><br/>The buggy ground to a halt. It's tires scratching the pavement as it skidded along the asphalt to its eventual uneven stop. It came to a jutting idling stop. Its engines hummed as the breaks were locked and the men could climb out.<br/><br/>“So this is the river port.” Jiao-Long exclaimed as he stepped out, stretching out his back. He stepped out of the cracked and pot-hole strewn road. A field of concrete marched out to the river, where the gray water lapped and rushed against stubby short piers. Low cranes stood lifeless at the water's edge, their cables and lines hung limp from their arms like vines.<br/><br/>“It would appear so.” Yun-Qi nodded. He was hardly impressed with the scale of the infrastructure. But he could not blame it. The mayor had explained that with the Trans-Siberian railway down, this port had lost significant business a century ago. Yet still, it was important to local commerce. And in this time had the promise to define itself. If as a short-term solution to current problems.<br/><br/>“Wen Ho would appreciate this sight.” Jiao-Long smiled, laughing a little as he walked along, Quan Yun-Qi close behind.<br/><br/>“Yeah, but he's not here right now. But we don't need him. Not at the moment.” Yun-qi admitted. He looked down at the tracks that cut through the middle of the concrete plaza. The iron rails were sunk down at the bottom of a shallow trench. Additional segments of rail mingled beyond and around, as part of a greater network.<br/><br/>“I imagine if we had rail cars here then our people could use them. Send supplies by train to the front.”<br/><br/>“Provided their safe, but I'm not a security commander.” Jiao-Long admitted, “That's a job for Wu Bo.”<br/><br/>“And he's back at the installation.” Yun-qi pointed out, “I think we're all going to want to move out to here. I'll keep a token group at 62-69 to keep eyes on the frontier. But I don't think it's needed.”<br/><br/>“It shouldn't.” the civilian liaison nodded.<br/><br/>The two jumped over the train trenches. Jumping across bit by bit. In the shadows of the river's cranes they continued, looking out at the slowly flowing green water and to the wilderness beyond, guarded by its trees and shrubs. “So this is where the Ob and Irtysh meet.” Jiao-Long said with a sigh.<br/><br/>“That'd be it.” nodded Yun-qi with confidence. “Down one is Novosibirsk and direct Russian re-supply, and the other from China, or even Omsk if we can start using that.”<br/><br/>“You know, I'd say we about control the north now. We're not the warlords of northern Russia. Here. Right now.” Jiao-Long joked, “I feel good.”<br/><br/>“I would too...” Yun-qi sighed, “But this was too easy. So I don't feel comfortable. Not at all.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Teipei, Taiwan</div><br/><br/>The trees glistened with the droplets of fresh rainfall, the dark storm clouds that had passed now a distant monolithic wall crawling and spinning towards the west, towards mainland China and Vietnam. It's gift the water that now shimmered in the mid-afternoon sun lay scattered like diamonds in the warm mid-afternoon sun. The storm itself had stalled a debate scheduled wisely for out of doors. And ten minutes after it actually started and twenty minutes after the rains it was finally to the end of the meaningless formalities.<br/><br/>It was formalities that laid the field. Introducing men that needed no introduction to any supposed audience. The trading of points containing an air like two gentlemen discussing the day over evening tea.<br/><br/>To Zhang Auyi it was all rhetoric. A meaningless formality and ritual. Stature and poising with no clear goal. Pronouncing themselves and their position. Presenting themselves abstractly with no rational thought. It wasn't debate, it was laying the foundation. It was for the radio. Everyone else had left.<br/><br/>Those that remained were the journalists and the photographers. The national types from the NPN here to manage the radio broadcast. And then those from abroad here to make attempts at recording it for their own scattered attempts at following a broad and isolated event: the election of a Grand Secretary. Auyi couldn't confirm if it would hit papers as far away as Mexico, but it was a shot by them. Something for the interest sections.<br/><br/>Behind the stage flowed the Tamshui, its gray waters shimmering in the afternoon sunlight as the waters marched north to the sea. Broken by the boughs of chestnuts and the trunks of Muku trees. Cargo ships from the mainland, the Philippines, and even as far as Mexico drifted lazily down the river in search of port alongside outgoing Chinese ships and the patrol of the police. A decade after its surrender to China from Japan and Taiwan was considered still in a state of martial limbo, allowed to act in Beijing's politics, but the military was still common.<br/><br/>“So comrades, both have made proposals advocating for some manner of economic reform.” the moderator began from his table. He was a scrawny feeble man, with thin stringy hair and gnarled, wrinkled fingers. He sat at his table just below the stage, looking up at the two like a silent judge. A bouquet of microphones sat in front of him, feeding what it could to where it could. “Auyi, you have proposed some of the most dramatic, so I will give you the first answer.”<br/><br/>“Certainly, and thank you.” Auyi bowed, leaning over the simple wood podium. His flush round face brimming with a polite smile.<br/><br/>“I will not deny that under the regime of Hou that China has experienced admirable growth in its local economies. With limited foreign partners we have not just rebuilt our infrastructure, but seen it grow. But this self-isolated manner of economy spurned by growth only in limited areas has not brought our nation about to its full promise and its potential. What we might call growth within inter-ministry affairs has slowed in the past ten years roughly to stagnation. Again, only a few fields has it grown.<br/><br/>“Our trade opening with our partners in Russia, Indochina, and Africa has shown positive growth for the state in all fields. But not to any level that might be considered desirable. Growth is slow, and incremental. There has been no promise rendered real to many of China's citizens. Our potential is weak and lack luster.<br/><br/>“I will open the matter of argument on the pretense that China needs to expand its global presence. As an economic partner, without loosing focus and sight on its aims for revolution, internal and even global. But how can we muster this strength with so little global inspiration? Matter of the fact: the world does not see China as rich and viable and the merits of worker's liberation has not been seen as successful by the greater world. We must trade openly, not just to re-enfranchise individuals to Revolution, but to do the same with men and women abroad.”<br/><br/>He nodded proudly as he leaned back from the podium. His forest-green eyes stared out at the meager gathering with a confident strength. He brushed his hand on the sleeve of his white suit, turning to his partner.<br/><br/>“I will not lie that Auyi has his points.” his partner began, a short meaty fly. His face stout and curved like a bear with small beady eyes and a balding crown. Wu Peng, a congressional representative. This was his home town, Taipei. But he leaned almost submissively over his podium, his stance like that of an old man in his inoffensive gray Zhongshan. “But I must call to question his faith in the revolution. People abroad everywhere hold China in high esteem and I see no reason why we must prove it by opening our doors. Yes, we should expand our economic relationships with other nations. But we should not throw open the doors to every party who seeks to enter. If we allow in Europe once again then so too will we invite the rampant looting of Chinese land by the very same people whose interests we sought to expel. Not just from China, but the whole of Asia!<br/><br/>“Whole-heartily, we should invest our economic efforts on the non-European, or the parties distant from Europe. Use our resources as a means to friendship and ultimate enlightenment. Africa is a continent full of partners. And it's with them we should sell to. It is their partnership we will see our nation and our revolution flower and grow as the Dark Continent liberates itself.”<br/><br/>Auyi laughed, shaking his head at the remark. “Africa may be a rich friend.” he rebutted, “But I would not go so far as to comment on it being the soul power that we must open up to. Their people and ours may have suffered a very similar history at the hands of the European powers. But that alone does not wholly validate any means for adventurism.<br/><br/>“I love Africa as any righteously, outwardly minded person does. But I will be the first to admit that investment in the continent is not two-way, nor does it bring benefit to China. The African nations are still poor, recovering from harsh and direct rape by the Europeans. Distinguished by war and internal strife I would declare that the people of the African continent most likely do not possess the sort of wealth that would come back to us.<br/><br/>“It's a matter that as spooky as it is we will need to seek partners elsewhere and not just in Africa. What goes to Africa must be our own investment. Chinese investment. A partnership between us that will come with a long pay-off. I must admit that this may seem personal comrade Peng, but I must say that I am rather shocked at your insistence that all our assets should be put into Africa as a whole.<br/><br/>“We must do our part to seem them build. But not to grow our promises to our people at home. Things should be carefully managed while being open. So that we are not again raped in our palace, and so that we do not become the unjust oppressor.”<br/><br/>“Comrade, the sake of the economy is to produce wealth in the given purpose of making.” Wu Peng argued hysterically, “You can't deny that slow return or not that investing resources towards Ethiopia would benefit China by creating excuse to work, and to continue the cycle of our public capital. Surely, you can not?”<br/><br/>“I can, actually.” Auyi smiled. Or rather, he believed after his tenure as a provincial governor, “Though that is a point, it is not all of it. Man does not build so he may destroy the moment after what he made. It is a wasteful purpose that serves no grand purpose. The very purpose is to use what was made to benefit the people at large. Or to make such expecting a return on one's production that benefits the whole even more. Whether it be building radios, cars, or buildings: every craftsman and labourer works knowing at the end of the day his duties to the Revolution will be met with reward in food, a house, safety, and public service. Perhaps even capital for himself so he may bring to his family luxuries not otherwise provided by the commune.<br/><br/>“Strictly sending investment to Africa one way will break the cycle of growth, however slow it is. Debt does not serve the factory linesman or the farmer in the field sowing the next year's rice. In fact, if the resources to expand production are not brought back in a timely manner, that linesman may not find his factory does not have the energy to run: it's been sent to Africa. Nor may he or the farmer have the rice to eat: it's all been sent to Africa. The farmer himself may not have the seeds to plant his crop: it's all in Ethiopia.<br/><br/>“What then is the purpose of this partnership is Ethiopia owes us a debt for our trade? Are we not too-humbly admitting that we are their servant and that they can take what they want from us? It's too much of a faulty system, and a voluntary act of rape. Except it is not us being forcefully vandalized by foreigners, it is us inviting them to do so.”<br/><br/>“Never the less,” Wu Peng started, his sudden suppressed anger gave Auyi the quick impression he was about to shift direction. He looked down at the silent moderator below them, who exchanged the look with repressed silence. He probably wasn't about to call it off. That is the impression Auyi got. “Never the less, how might further growth even be achieved while staying to the merits of the revolution itself!?” declared Peng, “If I can be blunt comrade, then how is it that your economic policies as governor of Guangxi, and your push for further determination for China's farmers not a suggestion at inviting the term of the dated bourgeois principles that earlier destroyed our proud nation? If you continue the patterns then it is legitimate concern you may begin the reign of the gentry elite again!”<br/><br/>“You are merely being emotionally reactionary.” Auyi soothed, “I would hardly call for additional determination by China's farmers a revival of the old land-lords. It is more a revolutionary directive than the strict control we have.<br/><br/>“Would the right for our communes to elect not only representatives, but to elect the direction of their trade not be powerful for us and them? Would it not be wise to lessen, or remove the strict quotas that have slaved under? I have seen results by granting additional freedoms to our communal workers, their work was boosted. They were happier people, prouder people who could look at their work and say: 'this is mine, I did this. And not it's going to make someone happy.'<br/><br/>“If you have such accusations, then may I ask if you have any way to back them? What have you done to prove yourself. Can you call yourself a friend of the day-labourer?”<br/><br/>There was a light cough from moderator, cutting the two men in their argument. Auyi looked down to him, away from his partner to see what was the matter. “Before we get off track in personal insults I think it's a good moment to shift elsewhere.” he said. Behind him wayward spectators were beginning to find seats in the concrete amphitheater. A growing crowd.<br/><br/>“What say the two candidates to issues regarding the current war in Russia, and the erupting powder keg in Africa?” he asked, “Wu Peng, you have the first words.”<br/><br/>“I support our continued commitment in Russia.” Peng started immediately, “We have strong commitments and strong reasons to secure and pacify the Russian north so as to now allow it to descend into chaos and threaten our national security. From Vladivostok to Saint Petersburg, Russia deserves to be united under the red banner. To be liberated from chaos and disorder. Free from corruption and vile mandarins.<br/><br/>“And in Africa we do not hold such a powerful commitment to a hypocritical government as the Solomonid. If they will not bend to proper liberation and for us to allow Yaqob to stand critical of our righteous mission while he is a 'friend' then they have invited Spain.<br/><br/>“Our commitment in Africa should be as thus: for the expulsion of Spain and the installment of a proper modern regime for all of Africa. To send Spain back across the Mediterranean.”<br/><br/>Auyi stood, thinking to himself Peng's concepts felt jaded and lost. “In these days I fail to understand our continued missions in Russia.” he admitted plainly, “I do recognize our continued commitments to our Russian allies but there is a time and a place all wars must end. I intend to find closure to the war in Russia. To end it, and to pass it to the Russian people so they may complete it. After all, the unification of Russia is the mission for the people of Russia themselves. We have little right to call it our own mission.<br/><br/>“The invasion of the Pan-African Empire is a tragedy. In the light of two fires that burn I see the one to our north as dull coals that have run their course. We should keep them warm for as long as need so that it may be rebuilt. But we should only last for as long as it can go until the proper owners of the fire can address it. We have helped to fight it low and to tame it. Let's finish our role.<br/><br/>“But I see the distant fire. One that is not dying, but springing to life. I see its tongues threatening to destroy the jungles and Savannahs. To kill many, and destroy much regional history. If there was ever more of a moral and ethical mission, then it is in Africa. It is in Africa we will commit our rivals to their greatest humiliation. And it is in Africa we will spread enlightenment. But we shouldn't wait, not for long. Not for when the fires are a raging firestorm. A torrent of violence so fierce that we can only stand back and watch it burn out before we move in to help.<br/><br/>“And will we be the heroes then? No.”</div>"
22140,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-05-26 06:14:00,Vilageidiotx,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Arab al Ma'azi, Egypt</span><br/><br/>Two beige, boxy open air land rovers cut through the dry, untamed heat of the red desert on an aging dirt back road. Sand surrounded them on all sides, flowing in wave-shaped dunes between ancient rust-colored ridges and outcrops of orange stone. There were no clouds in the sky, only sun. Leyla felt aware of her growing hunger, and the need for constant water that she could not fulfill.<br/><br/>When they had started their trek through Egypt's western desert, Leyla had given them a few simple rules: Move quickly, do not steal, and do not harm the locals.<br/><br/>They broke the first rule quickly enough. The dry summer heat had done them no favors, and they had been forced to stop along the road to fix their battle-scared Landrovers. When one overheated, they had to wait for it to cool down so that they could replace the water in the radiator. That had meant sacrificing some of what they held back for drinking. Nobody had wanted to lose that water, but the alternative was to walk and that would have hurt them much more. Another time, the shrapnel fragments of a bullet that had struck the vehicle at the Battle of Suez managed to chew through a belt. One of the soldiers was able to fuse the pieces together with a heated knife, and with that they were, at least for the time being, back on the road.<br/><br/>But now it looked as if they would have to break their second rule; they would have to steal. Leyla did not like that at all. They were alone out here in this foreign place, disconnected from the support of their homeland. That meant a disadvantage in any fight. To invite trouble, that was the worst thing they could possibly do. One warlord with the right resources could swat them like a gnat. They were helpless.<br/><br/>But they were threatened by death in a new way now. They were running out of the essentials, food, fuel, and water. What little money they had was traded away early on, and the few people who would talk to them refused to barter for anything but their guns, or their vehicles. One grossly old man with sun-scorched leathery skin had even suggested that she trade her body, but the big man Barentu had stepped in and denied him with a brusque ""No"" before she could fully take in what was being asked. Barentu had been protective of her ever since he accidentally dropped her on her head during the Battle of Suez. Now they were down to half-empty fuel tanks, a dwindling canteen for every one of them adding up to seven, and the bland flatbread they had traded their blankets for in the first village they stopped in.<br/><br/>They were running out of options. They were leaving the land around Cairo where the heart of Egypt lay and entering the southern half of the country, where the warring Turkish and Egyptian warlords of the north held no power. Southern Egypt was in the hand of Islamists, who's methods of government had hardly changed in one thousand years. They ruled through religion and untrained militias here, ruling the villages that farmed the Nile's silt rich plain. Food was plentiful enough here. It would be a tempting target for the hungry northern raiders if times were good.<br/><br/>But temptation wasn't what drove her to make the decision to break their second rule. It was necessity. Life or death. <br/><br/>When she told them, nobody questioned. The Ethiopian soldiers in her entourage were tough men, but they were not tacticians. The field agents of the Walinzi were picked from the educated, and they were given further training in a myriad of topics. For a nation as poor and thinly spread as Ethiopia's Pan-African Empire, a small force of educated men and women with the ability to act resourcefully made up for some of the strength of arms it lacked. Men in the Ethiopian military knew this, and they were taught to respect the Walinzi almost as much as they would their own officers. There was no official superiority in rank, but an understanding still existed, and that understanding had put Leyla in de-facto command.<br/><br/>There was still doubt, she knew. She wouldn't have kept them in control this long if it hadn't been for Barentu. He was the strongest man in the group without question, and she knew that none of them wanted to cross him. Without him, she may have been Walinzi, but she was also a woman. For many of the men who joined the army, who grew up in villages and were used to a world where everybody had a roll to play, the idea of a woman telling soldiers what to do could not seem natural. She saw the way they looked at her. <br/><br/>Junedin was an older man, and kind. His skin was a dull, bloodless brown, and he kept his greying hair cut close to his head. He war a devilish looking beard which clung to the bottom of his chin  and reminded Leyla of a wildebeest. His uniform was unbuttoned, showing curly patches of white hair on a torso that looked mummified. A wooden Ethiopian cross hung from a leather band around his neck. He had been a priest before he left the church to fight against Sahle six years ago, and though he had left the church, he had not left the religion. <br/><br/>And then there was Heruy. He was young enough to have been a child when Yaqob had become emperor. She knew he had lived a hard life - it showed on his face, and in his underfed frame. His eyes smoldered with pent up rage, and they seemed further apart than they should be. Much like Junedin, his hair was cut short in a way that made it easy to manage, and it ringed his head like the faint outline of a hat. Whatever his past had looked like, his experiences had made him angry. There was contempt on his face when she gave orders that he did not like, and sometimes she could feel his eyes watching. It was those four who occupied the first Landrover. Barentu drove, and Leyla sat on the passenger's side, her eyes flitting across the brightly heated desert that surrounded them on all sides.<br/><br/>Leyla thought about her own image now. There was a bandage cloth made from a portion ripped off of Barentu's olive green uniform wrapped around her head. She still had her trench coat, though sweat and dirt had turned it a muddy, diseased looking brown. Her hair had frizzed out in the heat, making her head twice as big of a target as it otherwise would have been. <br/><br/>""We should limit the raiding party."" Junedin said. He had a gentle voice, underlined by a low-toned fatherly benevolence. ""Just you, I, Heruy, and Barentu."" he said. As he said the last name, he eyed the watchful giant. Barentu was just shy of seven foot in height, and he had the body mass to match it. <br/><br/>""That was my plan."" Leyla replied. ""We will have the others posted in the hills to watch and wait. If there is trouble, I want them ready to come down."" <br/><br/>Junedin put an arm on her shoulder and squeezed. She felt the bones of his knuckles pressing into her skin. They felt liked knots in old rope. ""Very good. You could have been my daughter."" he said. ""Or maybe a wife if I had ever took one.""<br/><br/>They passed a sign. It was a quaint wooden thing with words painted across it in Egyptian Arabic. ""Arab al Ma'azi 1km"" it said, a rough estimation. She could see how the dirt road began to descend down from the high desert toward the river plain below. <br/><br/>""Pull into the sand."" she said with sudden urgency. ""We want to see what we are up against.""<br/><br/>When they stopped, it felt as if the weather had instantly grown hotter. In the Landrover, the feel of the air rushing by them had made the heat seem bearable. Now the atmosphere around them felt like the heated air above a roaring bonfire. She was beginning to sweat, and they began to walk.<br/><br/>""How does a woman join the Walinzi?"" Junedin asked. ""I have always been interested.""<br/><br/>""I went to school until I was seventeen."" she answered. <br/><br/>""That is a lot of school."" Junedin said. His voice sounded like he was mocking surprise ""I was seeking God at that age. Before that age, as it truly was. I do not remember how old I was though.""<br/><br/>""I tried to join the Walinzi"" Heruy barked, his voice under toned by a seething unpleasantness. ""They turned me down. I know how to fight, but they turned me down."" He looked at her with the pouting eyes of a jealous child. <br/><br/>""The Walinzi took me because I was young and had the schooling."" she said. ""Ras Hassan's daughter was one of the first agents after the Homeguard reformed into the Walinzi. They don't look at gender as much as other groups do.""<br/><br/>""Daughter?"" Barentu asked.<br/><br/>""The Queen."" Junedin explained. <br/><br/>""Oh."" Barentu grunted. ""I did not know that she had been a fighter.""<br/><br/>Sandy dirt shifted beneath their feet. They approached the apex of the hill cautiously. She wondered if they could be spotted from here. ""Hold back!"" she heard Heruy snarl. Hearing him now wasn't the first time she had suspected him of mutinous thoughts. She saw Barentu turn around to face down the smaller man. Leyla saw this as her chance.<br/><br/>""Don't."" she put her hand on Berentu's fatigues. The cloth felt hot to here skin. ""We will approach slowly. We still have to see what is on the other side."" They obeyed.<br/><br/>They could see the river near the horizon. It was a shimmering silver line, sharing more the qualities of a mirage than those of a body of water. The place where water met sky was a blur. The edge of the river was marked by the lush green vegetation that had attracted people to this place since the beginning of civilization. It was a dark green, a green that advertised water and life, and the place where that green bordered the red desert contrasted so sharply that it hurt her eyes.<br/><br/>""See down there."" she pointed to a small village just below the desert ridge line. ""That corrugated metal building with the central air unit. That's a warehouse.""<br/><br/>""It doesn't look like it should be there."" Junedin said. He sounded thoughtful, but his tone still grated on her. It didn't sincere. ""Good work, young woman.""<br/><br/>Regardless how he said it, what he had said was true enough. The corrugated metal was dented and dust-stained, but it did not look like it was part of the desert world that the village belonged to. Arab al Ma'azi was traditional looking, with straight mud brick buildings stacked next to each other in an unplanned mess. The shutters and door frames were painted with cheery bright blues and reds, which contrasted with the ruddy consistency of the architecture.<br/><br/>The warehouse was not the only thing that stuck out. It was connected to a strip of blacktop that lead to a building near the river. She could not discern what the second building was, but she suspected it was was a dock of sorts.<br/><br/>""The Turks were trying to improve their infrastructure."" she said without pause. She was confident of this. ""They were losing in Armenia, and they knew part of it was because they couldn't move supplies quick enough. That is what this warehouse is. Government-purchases supplies.""<br/><br/>""There are no Turks here."" Barentu swallowed. ""Are there?""<br/><br/>""No."" Leyla said. ""But the Ottoman government only just collapsed this year. There will still be supplies in there."" she thought for a moment. ""But there will be men loyal to whoever rules this place. This won't be easy.""<br/><br/>""There will need to be order!"" Heruy interjected. ""We need to look at the danger here. I don't think our party is disciplined enough to do this. We need...""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">A better leader. A man.</span> She completed his sentence in her mind, and interrupted him before he could finish. ""A plan."" she said in feigned agreement. ""I have one. This is what we will do...""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Leyla felt exposed, like the world around her was much too large. They were sprinting across the stretch of desert that sat between them and the village, just four armed Ethiopians in unwashed uniforms with sweat pooling on their faces and nothing to hide them. She kept her hand near her holster, prepared for whatever challenge the Egyptians might have for them.<br/><br/>Nobody saw them. Or, at least, nobody saw them as far as she could tell. When they reached the shadow of the warehouse, she welcomed the cool, wet sensation that the absence of direct sunlight gave her skin. They stopped to catch their breaths, so that it was just the sound of the four of them breathing and the hum of a central air unit sitting next to the building. As they panted, they prepared their equipment. Clips clicked into guns, and knife holsters were unbuttoned. Leyla pointed toward the end of the building and nodded. She watched as Junedin and Heruy went to stand guard. Before he left, Heruy shot her a last hateful look.<br/><br/>Would he do his job? She had to trust that he would. He felt like the type of man who knew to follow orders when it came to combat. He was prideful and angry, but he knew what was at stake when battle was joined.<br/><br/>The warehouse had a backdoor near the central air units. That was convenient, she thought. It seemed too convenient, and it made her nervous. She went to jimmy the lock and found it open. That was also too convenient. Her hair stood on end as they went inside. <br/><br/>The feeling of the cold air as it burst out of the open door and washed across her entire body was impossibly beautiful. It felt like a cool bath after a hard day in the sun, or like a bed after being awake for thirty hours. As she entered with her gun drawn, she thought the warehouse was being kept at freezing temperatures. She was surprised to see that a gauge near the wall read ""66f"". <br/><br/>Barentu followed her in, his gun drawn as well. They scanned the warehouse carefully, but it was a wide open building with few places to hide. The shelves themselves were scantily stocked, but there were so many of them that it did not make a different. These were simple tin shelves mounted to hollow poles, open on every side so that Leyla could see from one end of the building to the other with little obstruction.<br/><br/>Barentu looked at the gage and his face twisted. ""That is a strange temperature."" <br/><br/>Leyla was surprised. Barentu had not seemed like a perceptive man to her. ""They couldn't freeze this entire warehouse."" she replied. ""That would take more power than they have here. Those central air units have their own generators.""<br/><br/>""They aren't attached to the electricity grid?"" Barentu asked. He was trying to whisper, but he was not good at it, and the deep trumpet sound of his voice snuck out at times. <br/><br/>""The village is. They get power from Aswan. But they don't get it reliably enough to send it all to this warehouse. I'm surprised they can keep it this cold.""<br/><br/>""This is important."" Barentu suggested. ""They will try to keep is cold.""<br/><br/>Leyla nodded. ""Let us just get what we came for."" she said. ""Look around.""<br/><br/>They took different paths through the warehouse. Food and water was their priority, but they were also looking for weapons and car parts. The warehouse was full of food. It was all canned and packaged, most of it Turkish in origin. They were both stuffing backpacks as they went.<br/><br/>""I wish we could pull the trucks up."" Barentu said. He was speaking now, and his voice carried so far that Leyla cringed. <br/><br/>""No."" she said. ""We would have to fight then."" He did not answer.<br/><br/>The Turkish food were things she had seen before. Most were vegetables - chick peas, lentils, tomato paste - and they were packed in dull brown-labelled cans with the words printed in flat Turkic script. She grabbed a few of them, careful to pick what she thought would carry the most energy. She was a can of Chocolate sauce and quickly grabbed it as well. <br/><br/>On another shelf she found Spanish food, and it fascinated her. There were tins filled with tomato-flavored crackers, and short cardboard boxes with the words ""Tortas"" printed on them. She found a tiny can with a picture of a smiling, bright-eyed little girl wearing an over-sized robin's egg blue flamenca dress. The label said ""Flan"". She tossed it in her bag and continued looking. Nearby, she found a stack of cans of Gazpacho soup which featured the solemn image of a Spanish flag posed above a long stretch of text. That made her curious. She had learned Spanish while serving in Armenia as part of her extended language training, since it was a language the Ethiopians had been expecting to need to know for a long time now. She read the first few sentences and realized at once that the text on this soup was nothing less than a nationalistic plea.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-i"">'Communism is a coordinated war on your traditions. Chairman Hou and his servants only move to further their plan, and that plan is the annihilation of the church and the slavery of all people worldwide. That is why the Communists invite all Socialists to their scheming councils in Beijing. Leftists and Unionists will lead you into the dragon's maw if they get a chance. Let's not give them a chance. Do not give money or votes to leftist causes, and report all communist activity to the local authorities.'</span></div><br/><br/>She smiled. It was such a ridiculous thing to find on a soup can. She tossed the can in her bag and continued.<br/><br/>Gunfire rang out. It pierced the silence and, in an instant, the situation had changed<br/><br/>Her head darted up like a cat. She hadn't counted, but it had been a cluster of shots. Ten or twelve, and they came from outside. They were muffled by the metal walls of the warehouse, but she could hear them echoing in her ears. After the first burst, there was a second. Maybe seven this time. A firefight. She felt instinct kick in, and she began to move with the methodological speed of a lioness stalking a its next meal.<br/><br/>""They are in trouble."" Leyla barked to Barentu. ""We can't do anything in here. Follow me.""<br/><br/>She held her sidearm with both hands, pointing it on the ground as they prowled. She slowed down as she approached to door, mentally preparing herself for what was on the other side. She took a deep breath, clearing her mind of clutter and putting herself in the moment.<br/><br/>The door swung open and threw her off balance. A man rushed in and grabbed her, holding her tightly against his chest facing away from him. It all happened in one smooth motion, as if he had seen her through the sheet metal. She watched her gun slide across the floor, and she saw Barentu's wide-eyed look as he tried to figure out what to do, but she could not see the man who held her like a human shield.<br/><br/> Leyla was a hostage now. How had that happened? This man had moved too fast to be a simple militiaman. She could feel it in his arms. This man had been in the military before. He had the instincts. There was something else though. He had wrapped his arm around her chest at first, but quickly shifted his grip. That hadn't been tactical. That had been a squeamishness about breasts. The man holding a gun to her head was uncomfortable that she was a woman. <br/><br/>""Uoooooh, Don't kill me!""  she moaned, giving her voice the pitiful blubbering sound of young girl. <br/><br/>She allowed herself to cry. She was happy to let her fears burst out of her in expression0, but that was not why she was crying. These were tactical tears.<br/><br/>""Shut up!"" he said in local Arabic. ""Cry at your partner if you want to cry. Tell him to drop his gun.""<br/><br/>Barentu was aiming, but there was fear in his eyes. He did not know what to do.<br/><br/>""Uoo-oooooo-oooh!"" she moaned again. ""I think I just shit myself.""<br/><br/>She felt what she wanted; the hesitation that showed itself in the confused loosening of his muscles. She knew instinctively that she had only bought herself a quick moment, so she acted quickly. She shifted violently and elbowed him in his stomach. When she was free, she kicked him in the place where her elbow had landed before. The Arab fell back, and it was Barentu's turn. The gentle giant shot the Arab in the face, and it was done.<br/><br/>When the man was holding her, she had been unable to see his face. She saw him now - a man in his late thirties or early forties, bearded and dressed in aged fatigues. That had been an Ottoman uniform, but an old one. The colors were faded, and the seems had fallen to tatters long ago. She figured him for a veteran of the war that the Turks had fought to take this land. When that war was done, he must have settled here.<br/><br/>""Do you need time for yourself?"" Barentu asked. He looked nervously at the door, his eyes wide and his mouth agape so that bright white teeth contrasted against his dark skin.<br/><br/>""What?"" she asked, retrieving her gun. <br/><br/>""You... your shit?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""Shit? Oh. No! I didn't shit myself!"" she protested. <br/><br/>""Oh."" he said with simple acceptance.<br/><br/>""It was a ploy."" she said. ""Now come on. The shooting stopped and nobody else came in here. I think we won."" They left the warehouse.<br/><br/>The village was filled with the acrid, burning smell of gunpowder and the coppery, fecal stench of men who had died violently. There were five bodies bleeding in the dirt street, and they were all Egyptians. But what had happened to Heruy and Junedin? <br/><br/>A child ran into the street, her arms outstretched in a way that was desperately stiff. Her wailing was so shrill that she sounded like a Hyena. Leyla watched the child attach to the bleeding corpse of a man and stay there, her head buried in the mans chest. That left a bitter taste in her mouth. She was reminded of the tears she had summoned in the warehouse. The sun was on her now, but her realization of that fact was slow. She felt dirty again.<br/><br/>""Barentu!"" she heard Heruy yell. ""Walinzi! There is a problem!""<br/><br/>""A problem?"" Leyla shouted back. She saw the young soldier near a distant cluster of dwellings.<br/><br/>""It is the priest!"" he shouted. ""Come! He is making trouble for us!""<br/><br/>Leyla jogged forward, and Barentu followed. <br/><br/>She was struck by how empty the village was. People were hiding, she knew. But where? The thought that there were people in all the quiet buildings they passed made her feel uncomfortable. She eyed each one carefully, expecting a trap. She detected the smokey, floral scent of incense wafting from an open window as she passed it, and the scent made her feel dizzy. It did not belong here.<br/><br/>That was when she heard the screaming.<br/><br/>Junedin had dragged a woman out into the street and bent her over a brightly painted stoop, her robes pushed up so that the priest could have her. She was shrieking. That was a sound that made her sick to her stomach. It was a sharp, ear-piercing sound, broken by sobs that bounced in time with Junedin's pumping.<br/><br/>""Stop!"" Leyla screamed. The priest looked at her with dead eyes and an animal's frown. That was not a look she had expected from him. It was worse than anything she had seen from Heruy. In the background, she heard the approaching sputter of truck engines, but she ignored that. This was all she could see.<br/><br/>""Stop this or I will kill you!"" She pulled her gun and edged toward the cruel scene that was playing out in front of them. Barentu moved faster, his strides covering distances she couldn't help to reach.<br/><br/>The big man grabbed the priest by the collar and yanked. He slipped out of the woman, and his wrinkled member bobbed stiffly when pulled him free.<br/><br/>Leyla held her gun in her hand. Furiosity burned in her veins. She could feel anger in her skull, making her light headed as every raging fiber of her body begged her to execute the priest. He was on his knees, naked and pathetic from the waste down.<br/><br/>She flipped the handgun in her palm and, with the force of everything she was down to the marrow, she slammed his face with the grip. Junedin went sprawling.<br/><br/>The shock of the blow jolted through her hand and up her arm. It was white hot pain, and she wondered if she had broken something. Her rage fizzled down, and she took a moment to analyze the situation.<br/><br/>Barentu had helped the victimized woman to her feet. She had been whimpering and fighting, but when Junedin hit the ground she stopped to gape. The Priest himself spat bloody teeth, and his lips were wet from the red that filled his mouth. Below, his sexual enthusiasm had shriveled.<br/><br/>""You... Bitch!"" he coughed. His voice was a monstrous roar from the blood bubbling in his mouth. He tried to scramble to his feet, but that was a struggle. ""You whore! You cu...""<br/><br/>She cut him off. ""We should leave you here!"" she yelled. <br/><br/>""Now isn't the time"" she hear Heruy's voice. He was dutiful and to the point now, and when her eyes met his she realized that he was looking at her with a sense of respect she had never seen in him. ""The Landrover's are here.""<br/><br/>The other men had arrived. ""Take him."" she said. ""He's ours, but we have to go.""<br/><br/>""The warehouse?"" Heruy asked.<br/><br/>""We take what we need and leave."" she said. ""That hasn't changed.""<br/></div>"

Decorated only by the large wooden table in its center. A table that for as naked as it was housed the many who lived in the clay-packed bungalow. They sat in rough-carved, unfinished chairs. Simple table cloths had been laid out in front of each, and on top empty ceramic plates. Han Wen sat among them at the table, clasped in the hot hands of nervousness as he sat among the foreigners. There wasn't regard to his inability to speak his language. He could only assume it was them being polite.<br/><br/>He'd been ushered out of their sitting room where he had been left an hour ago. He now held court in a new room. Behind his back an open glass-less window provided a portal to the outside world. The sweet smells of the ocean breeze swam warmly through the open curtains. As did the rumble of engines, the rattle of wagons, and the bleating of goats and sheep. There was an almost surreal serenity here that forgot the war further to the north, along the coast.<br/><br/>Were the confident? Or did they just not know? Whatever the story may be, he didn't know if they talked about it. In their dancing sharp language they dashed foreign words through the air. An entire syntax and vocabulary he was unfamiliar with. Somehow he felt they he would have been better served in Russia, where at least the enemy – and allies - were civilized and familiar.<br/><br/>The chirping of time kept by and he was given more glasses of water. The lightheaded dancing of dehydration was long past. He no longer floated in dusty clouds and he was back to earth. The only discomfort was the familiar need to urinate. Which he did, as soon as he signed with his hosts his need to piss.<br/><br/>As the light of the sun warmed and lowered the bustle in the dining room rose and heightened. On some silent queue the residents came to the table. Talking politely and hushed as they shot wayward looks to their Chinese guest. He smiled nervously, giving his best impression of politeness and bowing. He didn't feel at ease being in someone's home invited like this.<br/><br/>Warm smells floated in the air as the homeowner and his wife walked into the room. Carrying in their arms plates of rice, meat, and large slices of a round flat bread. They smiled and talked among their own kin, and returned anxious nods of acknowledgment with the pilot. Landing the saucers in their arms upon the table another came, gently pushing into the room a feeble old weathered man.<br/><br/>Dressed in a word and ancient uniform, he sat slouched over in his wheel chair. The faded metals of his chest indicated who he fought for in the far past. The German iron cross dangled from the breast of uniform, right under neath the toughened, sun-baked and sand-worn leather pilot's jacket that lay limp as the battle uniform underneath. He still wore is colonial cap that sagged off his brow as he was wheeled in alongside Han Wen. He smelled of must and age, the Chinese pilot noted.<br/><br/>He seemed to great the visitor with a dry raspy breath. Between heavy breaths he muttered away in Somalian as his caretakers sat down. But now it wasn't just Wen they looked up to. But the old man. “<span class=""bb-i"">Dareewal dayuurad?</span>” he inquired, sizing the Chinese pilot up behind sagging eyebrows. He mimed something flying in his hands.<br/><br/>Han Wen starred down at him with a lost expression. The old man must have read the empty confusion in his eyes. He sighed and puttered under his breath. At the table the rest reached out with their bare hands, grabbing loaves of the flat bread to scope up rice and meat for their plate.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">E-ein Pilot.</span>” the old veteran mumbled as a youth helped put small amounts of rice and bread onto his plate, “<span class=""bb-i"">Luftwaffepilot.</span>” he repeated. Wen realized he was attempting to speak German. If rusted with age and dried and leathered like his skin and jacket.<br/><br/>“Y-yes.” he nodded dramatically. Even if he could not understand Mandarin, with any luck he knew head nodding.<br/><br/>The old man's face seemed to light up as the response and the gesture. He crooned happily, smiling as he cheered something in his African tongue. Whether it was Somalian or German Han Wen didn't know, nor did he feel he could understand either.<br/><br/>He reached out cautiously across the table, unsure about the practices as he spooned up chunks of grilled meat and rice with the generously sized coins of bread. The loaves reminded him of Naan, and he was comfortable to compare them to such.<br/><br/>The old man continued to speak from his wheel chair alongside Wen. Gently waving and gesturing with his hands. Acting out with gestures as he spoke. Han Wen didn't know what he was saying, or where he was coming from. But through his gesturing he could discern the pattern and the subject, only loosely. He could watch in his hands the same way he could listen from his words, but the image was bury in much the same way a picture was obscured watched through wavy glass. The shapes were there, but none of the details.<br/><br/>There was a ruffle in the corner of Wen's vision. The curtain partition between the rooms moved and stepping through was a tall young woman. A cheap suit hugged her figure, a dark niqab wrapped up her hair. She looked across the room at Wen with a look of silent bewilderment. Then her ears caught what the old man was saying, and she was stunned with silent wonder. She hung by the doorway, listening to the old man talk.<br/><br/>It was there that Han Wen realized that no one in the room was talking either. Instead they sat quietly eating their rice and meat as he told his Somalian stories. His hands gently and shakily flying. Steering and yawing and pitching as if he were in the cockpit seat again. Or firing a gun. Doing the many thing the ancient pilots of the Great War did.<br/><br/>Han Wen was certain of that much. He was dimly aware Ethiopia – with Somalia – fought with the Germans in the Great War to check European power in East Africa. But he knew none of the details. But here was one such detail. A surviving veteran was here beside him, though nothing more than a accessory in academic writings on the conflict. But he was there, and Han Wen couldn't understand him.<br/><br/>He chewed quietly on a pinch of rice from his fingers as watching the old man's bony hands relive the war from so long ago. They moved with great energy, despite his great age. And the deafening silence had every clue that it was a great tale. Or this man was a great spinner.<br/><br/>Through his hands Wen watched him dictate stories of his flying, no doubt alongside the Germans as they battled the British in Africa. The vague depiction of maneuvers. And battle hard fought. He gabbed for hours. Droning on through the meal and on. His voice dry, but it was tireless. Each time he paused he sighed, took a drink of water and chewed wistfully on the rice and grilled meat.<br/><br/>Han Wen had the impression this was not the sweet nothings of an old man. Even if he couldn't understand him, he had weight in his words. And it captivated many to stay behind and listen with attentive silence. The children disappeared soon after finishing their meal. But the adults stayed, chewing on the ends of straws or dried leaves. An incense burner was placed on the table and lit, washing away slowly the smell of the meal that had been eaten there.<br/><br/>Slowly the old veteran slowed in his story telling. He fell silent, and sat back into the comfort of his wheel chair. Though not in the worn, bitter demeanor he had rested at before. He looked like he had relieved himself of a weight. He was resigned, but at some peace. No longer bottled.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">Waad ku mahadsan</span>” he sighed deeply. He looked up at the Chinese pilot, and nodded softly before looking away. “<span class=""bb-i"">Waad ku mahadsan</span>” he repeated again. With a heavy wave of his hand he called over one of his sons, who with light hands took the back of his rattled wheel chair and pulled it from the table. As he left the room, he hummed an old song.<br/><br/>And with him gone, the rest stirred.<br/><br/>The woman – who had since taken a seat when the children ran off bored – stood up from her seat and rounded the table. Han Wen looked up at her. Caution and other emotions shook in him. He expected someone to speak with him in Somalian.<br/><br/>“Good evening.” she said in Chinese. Though muddled in accent it was unmistakable. She could speak his language.<br/><br/>Han Wen starred up at her, stricken with a sudden wave of shock that came with her greeting. “I- uh. Same to you.” he stuttered weakly. He smiled warmly, oh so he hoped. He had done nothing but gape like a awkward child all day.<br/><br/>“My name is Mulki,” she introduced herself, “I work in the customs office in Mogadishu. My family called me up here, about you.” she smiled nervously, “I guess you've asked about Mogadishu?”<br/><br/>“I- I guess I uh, have.” Wen coughed, nervously tapping the unfinished wood of the dinner table, “I assumed I could get to Addis from there, and... I don't really know how or what to do about that...” he frowned pulling away his eyes. He looked down at his hands. “I figured it would be the best place for me to go since I crashed.” he admitted feebly.<br/><br/>“It's OK.” Mulki smiled, “I can get you to where you need to be. And I can do you one better.” she invited sweetly, “I think now is a special enough occasion, perhaps my boss won't be so on edge with my disappearance. I'll get you a train to Addis. I'll come along too, to make sure you get to where you need to be.”<br/><br/>“Oh-” a shocked Han Wen remarked, “Oh- that... That. I didin't think of that.” he humbly admitted, with pain to his pride.<br/><br/>“Very well, we'll leave tomorrow. I'm afraid we'll be hard pressed to get a plane at night. I'll talk to my cousin, see if he can set you up with some bed space.”<br/><br/>“Th-thank you.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Perm</div><br/><br/>“So, how many times have you ate with forks and spoons while in Russia?” the agent named Stripped Tiger asked, sitting alongside Jun's bed. It had been several weeks, he had been carefully moved to a proper place. Onto a proper mattress. It smelled like mildew and ash. He could only imagine where they had found it.<br/><br/>“Once.” he said flatly. It had been a small dinner event with Makulov. It was relatively boring. He, Ulanhu, nor the General spoke of anything significant. It was an uncomfortable exchange of pleasantries. The only thing meaningful was a half-ass reminder to why the two agents were there: sway the wraith of a forgotten officer to the Chinese side. But by then the raiding had already begun and Ulanhu was afraid they were running short on time.<br/><br/>“It takes some time to get used too.” the lone agent smiled half-ass as he gently handed over a bowl of mixed grains and meat, “Spoons though, spoons I had the handle of. But it's simply using anything else for solid foods that was strange to handle. The hand just forms so naturally around the use of chopsticks.<br/><br/>Jun had no comment. He accepted the offering wordless. The contents had been steamed, but there was a certain look to them that suggested they were nearing their eat-by date in the first place. The color was muted and gray. And the aroma was listless and sour. He begrudgingly ate it, if to seal the empty rolling in his bowls.<br/><br/>The mattress the youths of the house had recovered was propped atop a rigged-together bed frame. Really made of the same tables as Jun had laid on for the first few days. Moving the crippled agent to the top floor that was his new accommodations was a dramatic event, full of more shouting than he wanted to bother with. Once more, for the one doctor Jun's inability to say where anything hurt simply made the move more cautious.<br/><br/>“It's no Shanghai accommodation.” Stripped Tiger admitted. “Neither is it any dinner with any of the Beijing elite.” he lamented. Hiding it with a dry laughing sigh. But it was as dead as the food was, that much Jun was certain of as he chewed on a flavorless chunk of carrot.<br/><br/>“While you eat though, can I pray again into why you're here?” Stripped Tiger asked, stroking that round boyish chin of his. A light stubble of beard growth was coming in. The shadows of the growing beard brought out the deep worry lines of his face and his pallor complexion.<br/><br/>“Can I get a name?” Jun asked, challenging his host. “I want to know who's housing me.”<br/><br/>He looked at him. Jun could tell he was cold. But he conceded. “Min Shu.” he moaned, “My partner was Xi Jin, but now he's blood and guts. Does this help?” he was agitated and afraid. He tossed a look to the door, hoping none of his wards heard who he was. Jun understood, that sort of information could lead to trouble.<br/><br/>“Was here to contact a man.” Jun sneered. Now here, sitting in bed he felt a rising contempt for Makulov for getting him into this. He wondered about Ulanhu. How well was he doing?<br/><br/>“We were supposed to break him over to the Chinese fold. Makulov. One of the commanding officers who went rogue during the second Bolshevik uprising fucking ten years ago.<br/><br/>“Resistant. I and my partner stayed. He had me hunt down the trash he couldn't deal with. Partner wanted me to comply, in the name of diplomacy. I became his hit-man.”<br/><br/>“I personally would have turned and left for home. Called the mission a failure.” Shu laughed, “After awhile that is. Could – has, rather – gotten dangerous to do stuff for such people. You don't know how many enemies they got or how much it could complicate them.<br/><br/>“Then again I was never asked to perform underground diplomacy. I was more the gun-runner type and intel liaison on the side while I did that.<br/><br/>“At one point, I flew sixty missions into Vietnam during a month-long time-span. Night and day! French never found me. I flew too low.” he crooned proudly.<br/><br/>Jun nodded as he awkwardly spooned a piece of mystery meat into his mouth and chewed. Fighting to ignore the sour flavor.<br/><br/>“But I suppose you've had worse.” Shu continued rambling, “Busted your leg and kept walking. If there wasn't anyone here to hold you down, you'd probably walk out of here yourself, wouldn't you?” he asked.<br/><br/>“You like to talk.” Jun replied.<br/><br/>“I haven't had anyone from China to talk to!” he scoffed loudly, “It's all been Russians and Russian youths.” he lamented in a deep sigh, “Don't get me wrong, they're all bright here. Kids with promise. But they're not in my field, and I can't trust them with nearly three-quarters the information I'd like to impart on them. I can only make do with a quarter, and that quarter's useless!<br/><br/>“They think I'm some kind of wizard sometimes. I want to show them how. But I'd be overplaying my hand well further than I should. I'd get them into trouble. Especially the youngest ones.”<br/><br/>“They're kids, how much trouble could they get into?”<br/><br/>“As soon as the wrong one learns to make home-made explosives and how to break someone's neck then there will be shit all over me.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tyumen</div><br/><br/>The boughs and crowns of the luscious trees bowed and danced in the wind and the furor of the moment. The sound of a diesel engine at their backs roared over the cracking and popping of gunfire. The rupturing roar of the cannon on board and the muffled roar of mortar shells. The driver's viewport burst with flowers of thick dark loamy soil and round mud-caked stones as they roared across the green fields. Through the trees to the town beyond. Columns of stark olive-green tanks made a roaring fast sweep across fields and berms and shoddy, shallow trenches.<br/><br/>Tsung grimaced at each bump in their off road journey. Each one was the walls of a trench or a fallen log thrown down in a desperate bid to bar their progress. But they'd come too fast for the Republic and these obstacles were by no means insurmountable. Ahead of them he could see the phantom shadows of more forward armor, clawing through thicker pockets of vegetation to ram a path to the city proper, marked through the murky plastic of his portcullis by familiar gray columns of smoke from smoldering blocks of the city proper.<br/><br/>The ringing sound of bullets rained against the hull of the tank. He jumped at the sudden spike in sound. The rushing beat of his heart raced in his ears. His palms sweated. He was back in the war saddle again and it carried with him to war the nagging alertness and vile awareness of every small detail that it could bring forth. It was a siren of ill-fortune and dolling it out as much. It's song though was not beautiful and simple, but gritty, gory, and complex. But he was here to liberate a people. That was good, was it not? Some rats had to be simply purged.<br/><br/>Sun Song's wailing orders had become background noise. He sighted down and gave orders on where to turn the gun for his crew to fire. The wet thumping of the main cannon had become a part of the background. Much like the sound of the diesel engine. Its report had lost all uniqueness, slipping away like the sweat from his brow as they tore along the summer field.<br/><br/>It was bright out, open skies for as far as he could tell. And humid. Li Tsung had never experienced a humid heat. For him it had always been dry, whether cold or hot. Summer days were defined by their dustiness under the central-China sun.<br/><br/>“Straight ahead!” Sun shouted, “Enemy armor. Approximately fifty meters ahead of us!”<br/><br/>Tsung looked up through his small driver's porthole. Wheeling around the corner of a wooden farm-house bore a Russian tank. Its hefty turret swinging around the corner as it crept, aiming down for them. Streaming off its metal chassis, Tsung thought he saw streams of hay and straw crawling off its armor.<br/><br/>There was a resounding clunk behind him as Wi Hui loaded a shell. “Sighted!” Tse Lin cried out.<br/><br/>“Fire!” Song roared.<br/><br/>With another deafening, if yet still muffled roar the gun fired on the Russian armor. A cone of white-hot fire erupted from the bore. The hostile tank shook with the impact of the shell. But it still moved, if lethargic as Tsung watched the tracks spin loose from the wheel. Smoke emanated from the wheels as they spun.<br/><br/>Hui loaded another round. The Russian tank fired. As the strangled cry from the Russian tank rang through the armor of his vehicle so did the scream of rending steel as something gouged across the side. There was a shower of sparks and a hot wave that pulsed through the cabin.<br/><br/>“Damage report!” Sun Song demanded.<br/><br/>“Loaded!” Hui reported.<br/><br/>Tsung could feel the sweat roll across his brow in a torrent. It dripped from his brow as he panicked about, searching the cabin. “I-I...” he started to say, his voice warbled violently in his throat.<br/><br/>“We're fine then.” Song yelled aloud, “Take the shot!”<br/><br/>There was another rippling explosion from the main gun. With a crunch metal twisted from outside as the Russian vehicle folded open and exploded. There was a violent sheer of white-hot sparks that showered out. Followed soon after by an eruption of flame. Tsung watched baffled with terror as the jets of golden and bloodied fire sputtered out the hull of the tank and the gun. Following its lead wretched blackened smoke plumed.<br/><br/>Then crawled the men. At least one to have survived threw himself out of the turret cloaked in blistering fire. Loud cracks and pops followed him out the hatch. A new fountain of flame burst out, then slowed to a low death as a stable smoldering enveloped behind him. He screamed. He screamed like the tortured soul he was. His voice was so strong, it cut through the steel and the dampening of the tank itself.<br/><br/>Tsung felt his insides turn cold. From above in the turret Song gave the ordered to keep moving. He obeyed, like a robot. Pressing forward with their own march past the farm house.<br/><br/>With a rippling roar the fire met the ammo magazines. The shells caught all at once. Ripping the hull open. Tsung heard that much, saw the brilliant flash of light in the glass. Then the constant chain of rifle fire with the machine gun's magazine going up in flame.<br/><br/>But it wasn't this he kept hearing. It was the phantom screams of the tanker.<br/><br/>Tsung was no longer a virgin to death. But there was still the act of burning to death he had not witnessed.<br/><br/>“We're getting close.” Song shouted out to the crew, “I can see the city skyline.”<br/><br/>To Tyumen.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Road to Moscow</div><br/><br/>Trees stood at rank along the side of the road, dusty and graveling the tires popped and bounced over the loose pieces of gravel as it spun down the lonesome logger's trail. The columns of pine that stood at the road's edge were like sentinels of the forest. Vigilant sentries of the mountain. Beneath their boughs the under brush grew thick and lush in the early summer sun.<br/><br/>The desolation and the emptiness of the countryside road washed in through the open windows as Ulanhu rode along in the passenger seat of a twenty-year old Russian car. Built in what looked like a decadent proclamation of Russian industry the vehicle possessed as many irrelevant and mismatched elements as it possibly could. And most of it was lashed together by wire and duct tape from the innumerable splitting seems and loose headliner. The entire car could be aptly summarized by it being a rolling sea of muddy blood-red leather and vinyl.<br/><br/>In the driver's seat sat a scrawny and spidery young private. He smiled as he drove, his eyes held straight ahead down the empty road with nothing but the sound of the gravel and the humid mountain air that washed in through the window. His head was a filthy mat of wild blonde hair that hung about the rims of giant coke-bottle glasses.<br/><br/>He hadn't spoke much since he was introduced with Ulanhu. His name was Vasiliy, Vasiliy Kulkov Popervoch. He had grown up not far from Moscow, and as he claimed to Ulanhu and Makulov still had family there. He greeted Ulanhu with a boundless, youthful smile and sparkle in his faded blue eyes. The Mongolian didn't know what to do once again when he offered to shake his hand. That had been the first cultural hurdle.<br/><br/>But now here both were, a day's ride out of the Urals and on their way to Moscow. Vasiliy had taken to thinking himself witty and spy-like, insisting to take the back roads. Ulanhu didn't object, he wanted to stay off the inevitable and to allow him to think.<br/><br/>Their briefing was simple, on the surface. Upon arriving to Moscovy they'd seek out and rendevouz with a contact of Makulov's. A man named Chekov Borisovy. A former manager of a factory that'd gone bankrupt with the Empire. Now he was stuck in Russia like so many others. He'd fought in the army before, in central Asia alongside Makulov. Which is why the contact persisted. He would have the means to get closer into the Republican government.<br/><br/>Investigating the situation in Yekaterinburg for the agents was out of the question. Makulov's men had the city more-or-less surrounded. Ulanhu felt he was stretched thin. And he was afraid of what'd happen when the Chinese arrive. Would they see Makulov as a Republican warlord and dismiss him passingly as such? Was Makulov even capable of contacting the Chinese?<br/><br/>Ulanhu had met Hue Wen's intelligence staff chief once upon a time. He made him uncomfortable, made him feel cold. Mann Wu came off as the type to sentence to death first, ask questions later. Not as outright an executioner as Jun when it came down to it. But he and Wu were operatives cut from the same yard of silk, they were tigers through and through.<br/><br/>Ulanhu starred down the short, stubby nose of the car as they drove. The hood was decorated in some gaudy attempt at being futuristic. Though it still retained a hard-cornered, boxy appearance that had typified Russian design for him since he came into the country. There was a single exception that tried to break the rule, a protruding hood vent that stuck up from the hood like a fat nose on a flat face.<br/><br/>“So, uh- Moscow.” Ulanhu brockered, feebly trying to strike up conversation, “What's the city like?”<br/><br/>“Moscow?” Vasiliy smiled. Even his smile was thin like the rest of him. Crooked yellow teeth hung like inverted tombstones in his mouth. Under his green fatiques a stripped white-blue jacket pattered at his wasting neck, “Oh, is home comrade!”<br/><br/>He was bare in his Chinese. Or anything to say the least. But he made an effort to try. “Is where born and raised. Is good.<br/><br/>“Not good as Sankt Petersburg, dja. Richer city was than Moscow!”<br/><br/>“As I understand.” Ulanhu said dismissively.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” Vasiliy asked, genuinely lost.<br/><br/>“I heard. Uh-” Ulanhu peddled back, “Or, so I've heard. About Sankt Petersburg.”<br/><br/>“Oh, yeah. You heard right you did!” he smiled dumbly.<br/><br/>“Well, what else about Moscow?” Ulanhu continued.<br/><br/>“Oh, is on river.” Vasiliy continued, “Moskva river. Used to swim in it when boy. Some said to not. But I did.” he added with an affirmative nod. “Say factories dump lead and mercury into water. But was all downriver from where I was raised.<br/><br/>“But by river sits Kremlin. Fortress. And seat of government.” the young Russian nodded affirmatively, “Is where we will find president most likely.”<br/><br/>“How do you think we'll need to enter it?” the Chinese agent asked.<br/><br/>“I don't know.” the Russian shrugged, “Climb walls, you like ninja, yes?”<br/><br/>“I'm afraid not.” Ulanhu dismissed. He swallowed the sour taste at the back of his throat.<br/><br/>“Oh well. I suppose too we could walk in through front door. We'll need cover though. Or maybe we can access through subway tunnel!”<br/><br/>“Subway?” Ulanhu asked.<br/><br/>“Dja, subway. Hear Tzar installed private tunnel in fifties for private use.”<br/><br/>“No, what's a subway?” Ulanhu asked.<br/><br/>“Oh! Subways is like train. Underground train, go through tunnel. Is faster than trolly car above ground, but less scenic and more noisy.<br/><br/>“We could find that.” Vasiliy grinned, he was feeling genuinely confident in that course of action, “I heard before I accepted mission that it indeed existed. When built.<br/><br/>“President and guard no doubt know it exist though.”<br/><br/>“We'll need to hope that they're not counting on it.” Ulanhu sighed, looking back out the window.<br/><br/>“Oh sure, they may. But we see when time comes and we make contact.”<br/><br/>“So if we enter the Kremlin, where do we go from there?”<br/><br/>“President may be in Terem Palace. Private residence on grounds. I saw it once as visitor before nation went to shit. But never inside, no one ever goes inside.”<br/><br/>“That's where we'll start.”<br/><br/>“Sounds like a good plan.” Vasiliy commented, “Better than nothing!”<br/><br/>They continued to pop and roll down the gravel road. It felt endless in length. But the long tracts of forest was beginning to give way to open clear-cut field. And eventually meadows. “So, is this your first real mission?” Ulanhu asked his Russian partner.<br/><br/>“Not at all. Did lot of work in Yekaterinburg. Actually inside Republican congress!” he boasted confidently, “Doubt any contacts I had there will not help. But I brought my ID card with me. It should help.”<br/><br/>“I hope it will. What was your cover by the way?”<br/><br/>“Mikhail Nikitich, lived across from the Church of All Saints. Married young, wife was murdered. Never re-married. No children either, rest of family lives in Communist-occupied Russia or fled the nation all together, lost contact with all.”<br/><br/>“Sounds complete enough.” nodded Ulanhu.<br/><br/>“It was good identity. You have one?”<br/><br/>“I'm afraid I've always been Ulanhu.” he admitted guiltily.<br/><br/>“Bullshit!” Vasiliy laughed, “What does Ulanhu mean?”<br/><br/>“Nothing.”<br/><br/>“Nothing?” Vasiliy asked stricken, What do you mean?”<br/><br/>“I mean it's not worth knowing.” he said, looking back at him, “Would it really matter.”<br/><br/>“I guess not.” Vasiliy admitted.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Hong Kong</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Kowloon Walled City</div><br/><br/>It had taken him awhile to brave the thought to do it. Even as the school terms ended. At least for a while, merely the month. And then it was his last tour. It felt strange really. But it was washed aside as he stood in the shadow of the pillaring necropolish before him. It was a blackened and gray mass of unwashed and unkempt structures. Even the flair of inner Hong Kong was devoid around it, much of it caught in the sickly aura of Kowloon's darkened heart.<br/><br/>Guilded by soot the apartment walls of Kowloon rose above the ground below. An orbiting ring of dirt and grass that tried to give as much a barrier between Hong Kong and the Walled City stood underneath Pui Tui's feet. He hadn't bothered to drive, he knew that was too much of a danger.<br/><br/>It was also a heavy irony that for the disease that the Walled City gave off in its mere visage was counteracted by the density of dentists and doctors who had their offices built on the extreme outside of the mighty enclave of madness amid Hong Kong's relative sanity. The Walled City was a tumor that unlike the rest of China did not fly any of the orange banners of the Chinese state. But opted instead to fly the dusty multi-colored rags of laundry from every possible balcony. The city was not only a rotten temple of bone and cement with blackened tips and grizzled, swelling growths that built steadily up. It was also the advertisement for the most destitute of fashion. The fraying and dusty jumpsuits of the factory laborer, the cotton jerkins of the rough and violent under belly. And even amid these the stray blood-red flag of the old triads and the assertive disdainful detachment from reality in the red banners of the long defunct Red Guard Gang.<br/><br/>Though it was perhaps not all dead. But somehow the worse came to Walled City. Pulled in by its dangerous magnetism. It being the only source of state resistance.<br/><br/>On normal occasions Pui Tui wouldn't dare to stand short of the gates to the former fortress. Neither would his friends. But he had for himself many thousands of ren he needed to use. And somewhere inside was someone who knew how to use it. Tui took a deep breath and looked up at that pleasant, open, July sky and stepped across the dusty mall towards the city.<br/><br/>He walked briskly towards the city. Stepping over centuries old stones and engravings that lay in the dirt like gravy markers. None of them were whole, but looking at them the ancient writing carved in the heavy marble slabs were still visible to read. It was a strange sort of feeling to walk over history unpreserved, where the state had sought to do that much. To hold on to the past, repurpose it for the future. Make everything a lesson for the revolution. Yan Cong had commented on such things in significant depth; he read a lot. Tui wondered what he would say about all this. But he knew he'd be too terrified to come so close.<br/><br/>He came onto the gate, a narrow opened guarded by an ancient arch. The centuries old brickwork of an ancient Yamen defined this way in. Windows shuttered with wood seemed to watch the young man approach, silently like the dead. His skin went clammy as he made his approach. In the darkness inside and beyond the gate he could listen to the echoes of many thousands. Uncountable numbers of people, not only by the danger within but how many were packed together. Tui didn't need Cong to tell him that with as many souls were cramped in the Walled City it would be nearly impossible for the city of Beijing to count them all and tax them.<br/><br/>He paused outside that gaping maw. The gate was old, faded. The blue paint of the yamen house was peeling pack and parting from the centuries old wooden frame. What shone through was a graying disaster. The frame was buckled and bent, distorted by the weight of infrastructure that refused to stop growing. And looking up the Walled City's edge Pui Tui felt a sickly vertigo take hold of him as its vertical expanse swam into the clear sky. He couldn't tell where the crowns of the projects ended, of if that was just simply a weighty and dangerous buckling of the structures as they grew.<br/><br/>There was a bronze cannon in the grass. Its green turret hidden by weeds and bushes thick as the hair atop his head. He only noticed it when he looked back down and saw the empty bore of the gun staring up at him from the weeds. Its dark chamber like the Walled City in miniature. It felt damning in its presence there. Also challenging. “Go ahead.” it invited, “I leave this kingdom unprotected.” it taunted.<br/><br/>Tui looked back. Perhaps the last sanest thing he could do in this situation. He'd told his father he was out on the town as usual. He'd be back by dinner to do the evening chores. Was this foolish?<br/><br/>He took a breath, and forced himself to swallow his fear and walked into the entrance's embrace. Cringing back as he felt the heady smell of human squalor wash him as he walked into the concrete caverns.<br/><br/>The light behind him was an intense silver glow in the claustrophobic shadows of the city within. His shadow trailed long ahead of him across the filthy cement ground as he walked alongside the exposed plumbing and electrical conduit that serviced the entire city. Hanging just inches above his head puttered and flickered weak incandescent lights. His eyes strained to understand the darkness while his ears and nose took in so much.<br/><br/>The passage from one world into another had been sudden, jaunting. His nose was assaulted by the smells of a million different things. It made his stomach belch and twist inside him. The sharp bitter smell of rot and sewage permiated the air and clung to the humidity like a swampy cloth that brushed his cheek and pooled in the back of his sinuses. Blood, sweat, and even semen was heavy in the air, like the tar and grime that covered the walls and pipes. He could smell it all. Every rotten smell. From the refuse to the people. From the people to the rats. It was almost inhuman. Insane almost.<br/><br/>And there was the sounds. The great echoing and clashing of tools. They echoed near and far, disorienting the young man as he meekly worked through the maze of tunnels and dense alley ways of the city. There was no one ever far away from. There was always someone close at hand, around ever corner and in every niche and alcove. And he could hear them. Shouting, yelling, arguing, and bickering. From somewhere there was the moaning of whores. Elsewhere prostitutes and butchers shouted out the price of their goods and services. Likewise he heard a preacher proclaim something unfamiliar and distant: alms. Alms to the Christian God. Proclamations and taunting jeering in praise to Guan Yu against the Christian missionaries that found the unsettling home here in the darkness.<br/><br/>But he could not blame these parties, he found uncomfortably. For they were trying to bring light to a dark place. And every so often Tui would pass through a fresh column of sunlight in the entombing shadows of the Kowloon underworld. It was a brief relief. But it was all too rare.<br/><br/>Tui passed by many people in the holds of the city. Brushing shoulders against man and woman and preacher and child alike. Some tried to stop him. A preacher tried to pass onto him a bottle of milk for his well wishes. But in the choking darkness of it all when he looked into any of their faces he could see only their deformed sunken features in the ill lighting.<br/><br/>It withdrew him. His heart flashed and screamed in his chest. He put his head down, keeping his eyes down as he pressed along. Following channels of trickling water and snaking lines of conduit and other pipes. He looked up only to check the signs, looking for the corners and stairwells he had to be at. His shoes sloshed through puddles of blood. He looked up to find the very road itself had cut through the middle of a butcher's shop. The meat cutters within glanced up from the chopping of their meat. Pig's heads and hearts lay out in the open watching him as silent as the butchers with their bloodied and rusting cleavers. Cigarettes hung loosely in their lips as they stood over their cuts of meat and strips of bacon.<br/><br/>Tui refrained his breathing, and kept moving.<br/><br/>Elbowing through the choked throngs of everyone he kept moving. Looking up at the lamps along the side of each sign marking each road and inter-section. Tui couldn't help but snicker sickly at the names of many of these informal roads and pathways. Pleasantry Boulevard, Paradise Avenue, 5th Avenue, Lucky Way. They were a perverted sort of humor of the city. Then he came to where he needed to be.<br/><br/>The crossing of 5th and 8th avenue. Both not much wider than a man and a half. Both with shallow trenches cut in the middle where all the liquid of Kowloon flowed freely into a drain in the middle. Rats freely gleaned through the water, looking up at him through black beady eyes.<br/><br/>“R-right, top floor now...” Tui muttered to himself as he looked at the dented and rusting road posting. He looked around for a stairwell. Or elevator. Anything to get him up. He didn't need to look far.<br/><br/>The stairwell he found was a narrow climbing alcove built between the closed-in walls of what looked to have been an old wooden house and that of a brick building alongside it. Both reinforced by the concrete, the constant urban reconstruction evident in the Walled City's underbelly was swallowing the old whole in its continued quest to grow or to reinforce. Chalky pieces of cement littered still the iron steps between lakes and rivers of rust created from leaking pipes above. In the dim light Tui could look up into its winding climb to see the ragged silhouettes of simple people, withdrawn into the darkness. Or into a drugged sleep.<br/><br/>He hit the stairs with a determined charge. Not just to try to escape the pressing depression of the under belly, but to break through what remained in the rest of his voyage. The stairs rang under his feet, groaned and shook in loose anchors to the wall. There were no lights were he went. Simply the glow from interior apartments where the noisy sounds of fighting, crying, laughing, and singing exploded. The smells of cooking rice and noodles mingled with the sickly sweet smell of burning opium. Switching back he scaled the cavern of squalor. Squeezing past languid individuals.<br/><br/>He kept climbing, hoping for the relief of the pure sunlight. His shoulder met against the side of an elderly man who crept down the stairs rattling off in tongues to himself. Someone shouted from above and below. His hand brushed across a slimy metal railing that overlooked an open pit, the bottom of which was a mess of discarded pieces of life and garbage. He looked down into the pond of detritus to see rats the size of large dogs feeding among the filth.<br/><br/>He kept climbing.<br/><br/>Scaling further up a halo of sunlight burned through a thin curtain. He could hear the faint breeze in the cavern and he knew he was making it. His heart breathed a sigh of relief as he kept moving. And with a gasp he broke to the rooftops, the top floor.<br/><br/>Standing once again in the sunlight he took a pause to look about. He had not left the Walled City's demesne, but he was simply in a easier hell. Standing atop the writhing realm before he walked forward into the light. He felt warm again in the sun and he realized just how good it was after being trapped for so long away from it. He gave a sigh of relief.<br/><br/>Though even on the rooftops the growing reach of the Walled City didn't stop. Standing in random patterns across the broken and irregular flat roofs there were free-standing structures of brick. A few precious sky-lights dotting the area let in precious light no doubt to down below. And even more precious breaks between the buildings were marked by cables and twisting strands of barbed wire.<br/><br/>Some of the Walled City's citizens had stepped out into the light like he. Elderly men reclining on beds made of orange crates. Women and their children trying to hold onto the few remaining green plants in the whole city. And off in the distance among the sounds of Kowloon proper's traffic the noise of power tools and hammers sounded as more was built atop the already creaking structure below.<br/><br/>“What sort of fresh fish did the monster swallow today?” a voice called out callously. <br/><br/>Pui Tui jumped. The voice was sudden and direct. He knew it couldn't be for anyone but him. “E-excuse me?” he stuttered nervously, turning every which way and that as he looked.<br/><br/>“Over here fuck-face.” the man demanded. Tui found the voice's source.<br/><br/>He was a small man, short by Cantonese standards even. His face rat-like and bulging. It had its own share of moles and blisters on it to go around. And the man's dome was almost completely bald. A pair of sunglasses shone in the afternoon sunlight as he leaned over railing strung together by rusting conduit in front of a simple shack. It had green tile work, which struck Tui off as odd.<br/><br/>“I-I'm looking for someone.” he said nervously, defensively even.<br/><br/>“Sure, you better fucking be doing so. You're young kid.” he spat, pointing a crooked finger at him, “And I know young men like you don't simply wander into the Walled City without a reason. Or you're an absolute fucking retard, you know?”<br/><br/>“Oh- I- uh-” he started. He felt shameful, exposed.<br/><br/>“Don't fucking stand their jabbering or some meaner cunt is going to slit your throat for a pair of your jeans.” he hissed. The man was loud. He pointed down at the pair of pants he was wearing. “So get your words in order before I do the honors. Best to die in the sunlight than in the shadows and eaten by rats. At least up here you can be fed to the gulls.<br/><br/>“Certain people would call that an honor.”<br/><br/>“I-I'm looking for someone. Song Yun-Fee.” Tui cracked. He fought up some of his courage to speak, “A, uh- a Ghost sent me.” he bit his lip.<br/><br/>The man's back straightened and he rose from the conduit railing of his soap-box front porch. “I see.” he said hushed, “Come inside, we'll talk. Get you out of someone's eyes.” he turned to the blanket-covered door of his shack, waving him in as he went.<br/><br/>Tui was apprehensive, afraid at first. But knowingly he had to follow him, and he did. Taking wide steps he bound over the gravely roof tops and the chords of cable and vent pipe for the porch. Stepping up and following him in.<br/><br/>“So that motherfucker is still alive.” Yun-Fee said as Tui trailed in. His hut was small, merely a room and a half large. A half-hidden bathroom stood in the corner, being only simply a toilet and a sink. The rest of Yun-Fee's live possessions sat clinging to the wall. A simple table sat out in the middle of the linoleum tiled floor. But despite its small size, the man moved swiftly about it like it was a palace.<br/><br/>“I think so...” Tui  nervously smiled<br/><br/>“You <span class=""bb-i"">think</span>?” Yun-Fee shot, giving him a sour cynical look.<br/><br/>“Oh, uh. Yea. He's alive.” Tui stammered. His stomach felt cold realizing his slip.<br/><br/>“That's what I wanted to know.” the gambler huffed, stepping over to a small gas stove shoved in the corner. “Sit down.” he ordered.<br/><br/>Tui nodded, shuffling carefully through the prison cell of a makeshift apartment to the table. “You want tea?” Yun-Fee asked as the teenage sat down.<br/><br/>“I- I guess. Yeah...” Tui nodded. His voice trailed off nervously. His fingers tapped numbly against the wood of the table.<br/><br/>“Good tea is a good thing to have. Especially on a warm and clear afternoon.” his host pointed out, “I hope you like it black, it's all I got.”<br/><br/>“Fine. Fine. That'll be... Fine.” Tui stammered coldly.<br/><br/>“So, this ghost...” Yun-Fee started as he went to work brewing the tea. Filling a beaten tarnished pot with water from a sink that spat and sputtered out water like vomet, “why'd he send you to me?”<br/><br/>“I have money problems.” Tui admitted<br/><br/>“Money problems?” Song Yun-Fee asked, “Like what? Not enough? Need a loan? This ghost wouldn't give it to you?”<br/><br/>“Well, no.” Tui shrugged, “I do races. And I, uh... I won some money from over time from racing. But I'm told it'd be dangerous to spend it.”<br/><br/>“How much?” Yun-Fee asked<br/><br/>“Some several hundred thousand, I think.”<br/><br/>“Ahh-” Yun Fee crooned, “Some serious Ren. I take it the more you race the more this grows?”<br/><br/>“It does.”<br/><br/>“Then I suppose I can fix that.” Yun-Fee boasted confidently, “It's not fucking hard. It's like taking a shit. Though it may sometime be a slow process but the relief comes inevitably.”<br/><br/>Tui didn't feel comfortable with the analogy, but rolled along with it. Leaning back to listen as the man put the water onto bowl and prepared the tea itself. “I do however charge for this financial fixing.” he continued, “Not mostly all for me though, I have some palms to grease to get it through. But it'll get through, trust me.<br/><br/>“I wouldn't be in fucking business if I didn't get it through and you won't find my head on the fucking street because I tricked some cunt triad boss!” he laughed, turning away from the stove as he wagged on crooked finger at him. “I'll need fifteen percent.”<br/><br/>“Fifteen?” Tui repeated.<br/><br/>“Fifteen.” Yun-Fee scowled, “Can't you fucking count? One over fourteen and one under sixteen! Fucking four higher than five!”<br/><br/>“Y-y-yes, I know.” Tui admitted, reeling back from the ferocity of his tongue, “I just-”<br/><br/>“I don't care what you just thought.” Yun-Fee said in a low voice, “I care about business.<br/><br/>“I'll take fifteen percent of your race winnings, use however much I can to move it into city finances as I can. Without a week or so it'll process through probably and come to you as back pay on taxes paid.<br/><br/>“Simply put, you'll get a heft return of some several thousand percent written off by fellow conspiring entrepreneurs in city hall.”<br/><br/>The tea pot began to steam and Sun-Yee went silent as he worked to finish up the tea. He moved with practice gracelessness in dipping the tea and mixing the briny herb in the water before turning back to the table. “So, let's talk details.” he continued, coming back from his silence, “So let's start: who the fuck are you?”</div>"
22143,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-06-20 22:17:00,gorgenmast,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Atlas Mountains, Spanish Morocco</span><br/><br/>Through a pair of binoculars, Julio Zuraban scanned across the desert wadi, combing across a jagged horizon where a hazy blue sky met the dark basalt of the Atlas Mountains. Still nothing. The coast remained clear.<br/><br/>""Nothing yet."" Julio reported, lowering the binoculars and laying them down upon the boulder he sat behind.<br/><br/>""Good."" The news bore no effect on Graciela, who continued staring out over the valley from behind the scope of a monstrous rifle. Laid across the top of the same boulder, the gun was every bit as long as its user was tall. It was a high powered rifle built to penetrate the engine blocks of armored vehicles during the Great War. Such weapons were no longer in vogue in modern militaries; man-portable rocket launchers had become the vehicle-killer of choice for well funded armies, and so Great War surplus like this trickled down to brushfire conflicts and rebel armies the world over. For her purposes, however, this mothballed anti-tank rifle was exactly the tool the plan required.<br/><br/>""Eyes up,"" Graciela reminded tersely. ""Gunships frequent this area, we could get company at any moment.""<br/><br/>Julio returned the binoculars to his face and resumed his vigil over the sky. No sign of the dreaded helicopters that patrolled these lands so doggedly, Julio's attention went to a band of Tuareg warriors milling about in the bottom of the wadi. Within the twin ovals of the binoculars, Julio watched as the Bedouin carried worn old tires on their back and deposited them at the trunk of a spindly acacia shrub. The Ethiopian adviser, Dejene, watched as the Tuaregs made their haphazard pile about the scrubby tree before splashing the tires with the contents of a small jerrycan. Seeming satisfied with the pile, Dejene struck a match, cast it upon the pile and orange tongues of fire sprouted forth from the tires. Julio followed the thick, black smoke as it rose up into the clear sky above.<br/><br/>""That should attract some attention,"" Graciela mused as she watched the tire pile ignite through her scope, along with Dejene gesturing to the Tuareg to assume ambush positions. Julio followed the Bedouin as they scrambled up the rocks on the opposite side of the wadi. Even with sheathed swords dangling at their hip and billowing robes knocking against their knees, the Tuareg easily negotiated the boulders on the far slope and tucked themselves into crags in the rocks or beneath acacia scrub. Within moments, the desert warriors were invisible. The wadi had returned to its previous desolate and uninhabited state. The inky smoke rising from this barren land would be suspicious indeed to anyone who happened on the site from the air. ""Now pay careful attention to the sky, Julio."" She reminded, somehow aware he was no longer scanning the horizon for activity.<br/><br/>Julio's binoculars traced the distant peaks. A speck of motion far off in the distance - a dark speck rising upward against the lavender-blue haze that frosted the horizon. It could only be one thing: Spanish aircraft.<br/><br/>""I saw something,"" Julio reported, his pulse intensifying.<br/><br/>""Where?""<br/><br/>""Off to the left, between the...""<br/><br/>""Clock positions, Senator,"" Graciela demanded.<br/><br/>""Erm.... ten, eleven o'clock?"" Julio combed over the peaks he had seen the twinge of motion. He found it again, hovering over that same dusty peak, but could not see what exactly it was. His fingers fumbled with the focus knob between the two lenses. As the wheel spun, the world became blurry - wrong way. A few spins in the reciprocal direction and the clarity increased. He could see what that speck in the distance was.<br/><br/>""Nevermind,"" Julio sighed.<br/><br/>""What do you mean?""<br/><br/>""It was just an eagle. We're still clear."" Julio's face reddened with shame, lowering the binoculars again. ""Apologies for putting you on edge.""<br/><br/>""Don't apologize,"" Graciela chastised, still scanning over the land through the rifle's scope. ""I'd much prefer an early false alarm to learning too late that we're not alone.""<br/><br/>Julio nodded, stealing a glance of Graciela. She laid flat against the boulder, the dark leather of her pilot jacket blended well against the basalt. Baggy khaki trousers that once comprised part of a complete <span class=""bb-i"">Ejercito</span> battle uniform were rolled at her ankles to accommodate well worn combat boots; he caught himself staring at the neat mound her buttocks made in spite of the oversized khakis.<br/><br/>""I take it you've served in the Ejercito?""<br/><br/>""Not a chance,"" Graciela bristled. ""Women can still only join in non-combatant roles as nurses and such. But even if I <span class=""bb-i"">could</span> fight, I'd sooner lop off my trigger fingers than enlist. The Ejercito has spilled much of my family's blood."" A sensitive subject it seemed. Better to drop the conversation, Julio reasoned.<br/><br/>""What makes you ask?"" She pressed. ""The outfit? The jacket came from one of the pilots on that plane you came down on; the pants from a patrol that came too close to the camp.""<br/><br/>""That and the way you handle the firearm,"" Julio added, attempting to cover his oogling.<br/><br/>""I was born in the Basque Country; hunting is common in that part of Spain. My father took me hunting since I was five years old, I shot my first boar before my seventh birthday. The Ejercito has no monopoly on marksmen, certainly not on markswomen.""<br/><br/>""Keep watching."" She reminded once more. Julio once again put the binoculars to his face and screened the desolate landscape.<br/><br/>""Have you ever... uh,"" Julio stumbled over words as morbid curiosity overcame his trepidations. ""Have you ever shot a <span class=""bb-i"">person</span> before?""<br/><br/>""I wouldn't call them people, the men I've killed. After what they've done to my father, people like you, I feel no remorse in ending them. I don't distinguish between a hog and one of Sotelo's men.""<br/><br/>""My condolences for your father,"" Julio offered.<br/><br/>""I fear the worst for him. He was an avowed enemy of the state. Those like you and Joaquin only asked too many questions for the regime's liking. You were more of an indirect threat to Sotelo's power, dangerous in your own right but not as pressing - they had to disguise your sequestration with this ridiculous virus quarantine story. My father and his colleagues presented an existential threat to Sotelo - Basque nationalists who decided to work with other disaffected circles when Alfonso Sotelo started to show the country who he really was. That was the beginning of the Partisans.""<br/><br/>""That was where my father and his colleagues made their mistake - letting strangers - spies, informants - be privy to the workings of the movement. They bided their time until the critical moment, and took them all in a swoop.""<br/><br/>""They sent them to... Arratzu?"" Julio shuddered as the name left his lips. The memory of that wretched place filled his mind with unwelcome images. The sting of the truth serum crackled through his brain by association, he winced tacitly behind the binoculars, waiting for the surge to abate as he calmed down.<br/><br/>""No need for it. From what I gather from you and the others on the plane, Arratzu is an interrogation center disguised as a quarantine hospital. My father and his friends were clearly enemies of the state - no need for that ridiculous virus story for them. And the informants in their midst had relayed everything Sotelo could have ever wanted to know. If they didn't execute him on the spot, then the only place the regime would have taken him is <span class=""bb-i"">La Cabeza</span>.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">La Cabeza</span> - the Head. Since crashing down in this land, the fortress one hundred kilometers to the southwest was the center of every endeavor, at the heart of all questions. He had heard from Dejene that the Bedouin locals had noticed heavy construction equipment moving deep into the desert sometime in mid-1976. That had been a tumultuous time indeed for the Second Spanish Republic, a brief engagement in the Second North American War, followed immediately thereafter by Miguel Tejero's assasination and the attack on the Capitol complex in Madrid. Alfonso Sotelo ascended to power in the ensuing the emergency elections. And while Spain proper's attention was assaulted by immense happenings, the publications were too distracted to make note of the momentous construction efforts going underway at the edge of the Sahara.<br/><br/>Whatever was at La Cabeza, it was to be left alone. The government had gone to immense lengths - literally - to assure the facility's security. Even at a distance of a hundred kilometers, patrol aircraft combed the desert to assure prying eyes stayed well away from a facility buried underneath a mountain. The settled Moroccans were easy enough to keep at bay, but it seemed that the Tuareg Bedouin required more persuasion. If Dejene was to be believed, the Spanish government had done terrible things to these people.<br/><br/>But if La Cabeza to be left alone, why then had Julio been sent with a hundred other prisoners to this place, one of numerous daily shipments of people being taken to this place?<br/><br/>Slave labor perhaps. In addition to the planes, trains laden with all manner of materials had been reported moving to the facility, but invariably leaving emptied out for the return trip to Tangiers or Marrakesh to be loaded with more materials. That seemed to be the most plausible explanation. It was one of the more optimistic outlooks.<br/><br/>""What do you think is there?"" Julio asked, his curiosity demanded to know if Graciela had heard more from Dejene or the Tuaregs about what La Cabeza was or was not.<br/><br/>""I have no idea, but we'll know soon enough what that place is.""<br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>Locusts made rattling calls from the acacia scrub as the day wore on. Six interminable hours had passed since they had arrived to establish this ambush. The signal fire had died down multiple times as the tires burned down, and now Dejene and the Tuaregs were running out of tires. Around the charred stumps where the acacia bush had been hours before, robed Bedouin placed bundles of dessicated acacia limbs into the fire to supplement their dwindling supply of vulcanized rubber. Soon, they would would be out, and they would have to return to the camp to scavenge more tires from abandoned hamlets within La Cabeza's exclusion zone - dangerous and laborious task in itself.<br/><br/>Julio could feel his face burning in the desert sun. Sunscreen was a luxury the Tuareg did not possess, likely why they insisted on their full-bodied robes, and so Julio had to do without. He was certain that looking through the binoculars for several hours had left two rings of unburnt skin around his eyes, the sort of sunburns tourists at Ibiza or the Canaries got after leaving their sunglasses on a long day at the beach.<br/><br/>He looked once again across the landscape. The sun was lower in the sky now, casting long shadows against the rocks and crags of the wadi. It would be dark in a few hours, and the ambush would have to be called off soon even if there was plenty of rubber to burn. Being out in the dark, exposed to nighttime patrols, was a dangerous proposition as it was feared that the gunship pilots had cutting-edge infrared goggles to see activity even on moonless nights.<br/><br/>""We need to be going soon,"" Julio spoke up, his voice raspy for lack of water. ""Much longer and we'll be hiking back in the dark.""<br/><br/>""One more hour, or until Dejene runs out of tires - whichever comes first. Keep looking until then.""<br/><br/>The same, bleak empty horizon greeted Julio as he scanned once again. In the distance, a pair of eagles could be seen in the distance, gaining altitude on the updrafts rising over the mountains. On second glance, it was one large eagle. Julio spun the knob to focus on it.<br/><br/>It wasn't an eagle this time.<br/><br/>""Graciela, we have company! Your two o'clock position!""<br/><br/>Graciela slid down off the boulder for the first time in hours, pivoting the massive rifle to the reported direction. A second of silence as she fixed the scope upon the object, and then Graciela's uncovered eye widened.<br/><br/>""Barracuda!!"" She screamed across the wadi to Dejene. ""Coming in from the West! Get to cover!""<br/><br/>Julio slid down out of the open behind the boulder next to Graciela, occasionally peeking out into the wadi as the Tuareg scattered for their hiding spots. Dejene rolled the last two tires into the fire before breaking for the rubble and ducking into cover just as the roar of the chopper's propellers became audible. The gunship decelerated as it descended toward the wadi, its downgusts sent sheets of dust and sand scattering off the ridges as it approached. There was no doubt, the pilot had noticed the smoke and had decided to investigate.<br/><br/>The constant thwocking of the propellers was now deafening. Julio slid as far down beneath the boulder as he could. Wispy desert brush waggled behind him as the gunship slowed to a crawl over the wadi. He looked directly above and saw the underside of the attack helicopter. At this distance, the individual rivets of the aircraft could be counted. The boots of a gunman seated at a pintle-mounted machinegun dangled mere meters above him. His heart was racing now as he hoped desperately that the soldiers inside did not think to look down at this moment. Fluttering earthward in the downdraft, a glowing cigarette butt fell from the helicopter and nearly landed on Graciela's boots. The gunship eased off to his right, circling around over the wadi - wisely scanning the area for any sign of danger. So long as they weren't very thorough, Julio hoped.<br/><br/>The helicopter was now somewhere over the big boulder, Julio nor Graciela dared to peek over to see exactly where. But the rotors were winding down - gradually but surely. The gunship was going to land and investigate - the bait had been taken. A minute passed, and Julio could definitely hear the rotors idling now. The gunship had certainly landed at this point. He shifted about, crawling around to the side of the boulder to peer out into the wadi.<br/><br/>Dust danced about the valley as three Spaniards clad in Ejercito battle uniforms disembarked from the open fuselage of the chopper while a pilot and copilot threw switches behind the windshield. The soldiers stepped out incautiously into the desert wash with seemingly little concern, though standard issue firearms slung across their backs could be accessed at a moment's notice. There was plenty that could go wrong with this ambush yet.<br/><br/>""Tires,"" one of the soldiers reported to his comrades in Castillian, poking the smoldering rubber with his boot.<br/><br/>""Goddamn Tuareg were probably camped out here. I saw a ton of footprints in the sand before the props blew them all away.""<br/><br/>""Probably buggered off when they heard us coming,"" the more-senior of the soldiers concluded. ""I doubt they got far. See if you can find some tracks, will you? I'll go ahead and make sure they call it in.<br/><br/>Graciela too had heard that exchange, and knew full well that attracting any more attention was not an option. It was time to strike, silence the radio before anything unusual could be reported. She hefted the giant rifle back up onto the flat of the boulder and took aim.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Jesucri-</span>"" One soldier blurted too late.<br/><br/>What followed was likely the single loudest thing Julio Zuraban would ever hear in his entire life. It sounded like a grenade had exploded in his ear. A shell the size of a man's fist tumbled down off the boulder, trailing smoke as clinked down to the ground - inaudible to Julio as sharp tinnitus rang through his head in lieu of the popping of a firefight. Graciela tumbled down behind the boulder before a salvo of small arms fire ricocheted off the rocks.<br/><br/>Julio stole a momentary glimpse of the wadi. The three soldiers appeared to have survived, taking cover on the far side of the valley behind a mass of fallen rock. A poor choice of cover indeed - Dejene gave the call for the Tuareg to begin the attack, and immediately they were beset by gunfire from directly behind them. The three of them were dispatched instantly, while another contingent of Tuareg and some of Julio's fellow survivors stormed the gunship.<br/><br/>""Let's move!"" Graciela commanded, scooping the rifle up into her arms. Julio bolted out from behind the stone and clambered down the hillside to the wadi.<br/><br/>By the time they had reached the bottom, all members of the gunship's crew had been disposed of. Four killed by gunfire, another two had attempted to surrender. For their cooperation, they were put to the takooba shortswords carried by the nomad warriors. The Tuareg demonstrated once again that they did not take captives. The Tuaregs and the prisoners removed the dead from the chopper, rifling through their weapons, ammunition, and supplies. When they arrived at the chopper - its blades still whirling overhead - Julio could see the damage inflicted by Graciela's rifle: a perfectly round bullethole had effortlessly pierced the bulletproof windshield panel directly in front of the pilot's seat - leaving only minor spiderweb fractures in the glass. Just inside, the glass, the pilot's upper torso had been pulverized by the monster round. Perhaps a gallon of thick, pasty gore had been splattered across every conceivable surface in the cockpit. Two Tuareg fighters emerged from the Barracuda carrying the lower three-fourths of the pilot's remains in blood-soaked arms. They went out a few paces and then unceremoniously dumped the body with the bodies of the other crew.<br/><br/>Julio felt a twinge of remorse. Even though these soldiers would have killed him if given the chance, these were his countrymen that he was complicit in gunning down. If the atmosphere were any less hectic at that moment, perhaps he would have felt serious regret.<br/><br/>""You've made a terrible mess in here, Graciela."" Dejene reported jestfully, leaning out of the open fuselage as Graciela and Julio jogged over to the chopper.<br/><br/>""Will it fly though?"" Graciela asked in between pants.<br/><br/>""My hands will get very messy, but it appears to be in good condition,"" the Ethiopian smiled. ""You haven't hit anything vital.""<br/><br/>""Good. Go ahead and start the propellers back up, we need to get moving before they notice the gunship missing.""<br/><br/>""Agreed. I'll inform the Tuareg to hide the bodies and make their way to camp and await radio communication to mobilize."" Dejene explained<br/><br/>""I can assist with that,"" Julio offered. ""Without combat experience, I'll be of more use here.""<br/><br/>""No, you and the other Spaniards go on the gunship with us. We need everyone who can pass for a Spanish soldier on hand if we have any hope of getting into La Cabeza alive.""</div>"

The vote will begin."" Akanni announced, his voice filling the Senatorial chamber via the electronic aid of a microphone. There had been no debate. When it had been announced earlier that morning that the Tribal House had abandoned the city without pomp or a vote, the senate lost interest in debating the issue at hand.<br/><br/>Prime Minister Akanni stood at the podium. He wore a black velvet, high-collared Kaftan robe trimmed with weaving patterns of red and white. The robe opened up below the waste to reveal supple black leather boots and European dress pants. On his breast he wore a white rose made from knitted cloth.<br/><br/>There was something adversarial about the way the Senatorial chamber was built. It was round and tall, shaped like a stadium with its seating along its edges. It had rows of long, connected desks that rose in tiers as they came closer to the wall. The walls were covered with dark wood paneling, and there was an imposing Lion of Judah imbedded in back of the room. The Lion was painted in full color and towered above the seats of the Imperial Coalition. In the center of the room was the podium where the speaker on the floor would stand, and behind that was the Prime Minister's desk. It was the habit of the Imperial coalition to sit behind the Prime Minister, leaving the seats in front of him to their opponents. This made Akanni feel like a field commander at the head of an army as it faced off against its foes. There were taunts and debates, but they never came to blows in a violent way. <br/><br/>Young pages wandered between the desks, collecting votes in stereotypical voting boxes. Conversation mumbled in a few places in the room, but all else was silent. Akanni felt his eyes wandering to James Lutalo, the leader of the Wakomunisti party and defacto leader of the far left in Ethiopian politics. He was a middle aged man, a dark-skinned Kenyan with mercenary personality. He carried himself with aggressive confidence, holding his chest forward and his back straight and looking people solidly in the eye when he spoke to them. He had been an adventurer of sorts during his youth, joining the colonial rebellions of the fifties and sixties for excitement as much as any other reason. <br/><br/>Now Lutalo was a national nuisance. Wakomunisti meant Communist in Swahili. He wasn't a communist by the Spanish definition, where the word was used as a curse rather than a reference to political and economic theory. Lutalo was the real deal, and he had a habit of appealing to China from time to time requesting the deposition of the African monarchy. <br/><br/>That had been an amusing habit at first. Akanni had always wondered what Chairman Hou thought of those letters. <br/><br/>But this time had been different. They were at war now, and Chinese aid was crucial. Akanni shared the same fear that Yaqob's ministers expressed, that Lutalo's letter had complicated the situation in China. Though Akanni held no doubt that Hou would be supportive of the African cause, the Chairman ruled his nation with a light hand, and the related facts of his ailing body and the political scramble for his replacement had only lightened his hand further. He would have the help of Fulumirani, but Fulumirani was a cold fish and naturally designed to move with the currents of local politics. In many ways, Hou's support would be worth more than the Ambassadors presence.<br/><br/>Hou's relationship with Yaqob was personal. Akanni has seen that when he had served as the first Ambassador to China, an appointment he had been given by Yaqob's father. Akanni thought of Hou as a polite and politic man, but Hou acted differently around Yaqob. Regret, Akanni had sensed. That, or nostalgia. Hou was a man who had dedicated himself to the task of steering his country away from the dangers of party politics by doing more of the work than left him time for living his own life. As far as Akanni knew, the old man had no wife or children. Yaqob, a prince from Africa with all the energy and excitement of youth and the heart of an academic, had somehow filled the void.<br/><br/>But Hou was an outlier. China was a country with a cultural love of isolation. They had tried to isolate from Europe for most of their history, and their initial failure had burned them. This second attempt had saw them shun the world stage for a decade. That isolation had left a mark on their political system. They were naturally driven to be skeptical about the outside world, and the Wakomunisti letter had not helped.<br/><br/>""The vote is in."" he heard the spirited voice of a slim-faced young page say, facing him from the floor in front of the podium. He was wearing a beige button-up jacket with pleated pockets and a belt that caused the extra cloth below his waist to flair. There was a badge on the left breast pocket. It was a single loop of thin brass wire, with the bottom of it indented inward into the crude silhouette of an elephant. That badge had become popular with the youth of Addis Ababa as a symbol of the Pan-African nationalism that was now blossoming across the otherwise contradictory continent. <br/><br/>The results of the count were given to Akanni, and he was not surprised. <br/><br/>""Forty seven vote in favor, seven against. Forty six abstain due to absence."" <br/><br/>There were many absent, represented by empty seats is the chamber. Tomorrow, they would all be empty. <br/><br/>""The motion to immediately move the Senate in emergency to Gondar for an undetermined time is passed."" When his words passed his lips, the room began to buzz.<br/><br/>Everyone knew this would be the answer. The Pan-African legislature was a Tricameral apparatus, in which three houses reigned with equal powers to introduce legislation or veto it. The three houses were thus: The Senate, a central elected body that served African delusions of democracy, The Tribal House, where representatives of recognized tribal or traditional bodies were given a say in what was an otherwise alien, western style of government, and the Imperial Deputies, who were men appointed by the crown to weigh the wants of their districts with the wishes of the Emperor. This was an inefficient mess of a government, where three spheres fretted to the point of incompetence. The Imperial Deputies were little more than puppets of Yaqob's government, ruining the democratic sentiments of the other two with their monarchical veto. The Tribes pulled the opposite way, making every move they could to turn the Pan-African government into little more than a funnel for occasional aid. In the middle of this all the Senate could do was try to make it work, but only when they did not get too caught up in their own fights.<br/><br/>It was no matter now. The government had broken up well before the senate called their retreat. The Tribal House was no longer in session now that the local leaders were fleeing into the countryside, and the Imperial House was crippled by the Emperor's grief-inspired disappearance from public affairs. With the senate on the move, Addis Ababa was prepared to be a battlefield. <br/><br/>The closing of the Senate was momentous despite having been predicted and inevitable. The roar of so many Senators hummed through the chamber like machine-gun reports. Men were standing up, stirring awkwardly behind desks. Now the vote was passed, they were anxious to make good on it and leave.<br/><br/>Akanni picked up a gavel and clapped it down in quick, morse-like strokes. Senators stopped in their paths. The hum died to a murmur, giving the room the grim feeling of a tremoring volcano with portends to erupt all around him.<br/><br/>""Before we go, I have something to say."" Akanni said. ""And I will say my peace."" The room settled to listen to him.<br/><br/>""I am not like our Emperor."" he said. ""I do not have his gift with speech, so I will keep this brief. All I want to say is this. Today is not the end. We are not done here. We are a continent of similar people, and our people have all faced the extraordinary odds of European invasion in the past. We are all here because our peoples overcame these problems, and we will overcome them again. Africa has gained the power of knowledge and fellowship. We have friends abroad. I have been told that foreigners from places abroad are traveling to fight on our continent. There are Armenians and Americans, Persians and Brazilians, organizing alongside our own soldiers to fight for the belief that all peoples on the earth should have the right to govern their own affairs. We will see frightening times soon, and there will be horrors before this war is done, but it when it ends we will return. And then we will continue our work. Be safe.""<br/><br/>There was a nervous applause. It was respectful, but it finished as soon as it could. They began to leave.<br/><br/>The humiliating feeling of retreat hung heavy over Akanni's conscious. He felt the boy in him urging to resist the forces driving him to run, but it was not a meaningful feeling. He was no warrior, and he had no place in a warzone. The Prime Minister's place was behind the lines, ministering. <br/><br/>His slow walk to the door felt like a sulk. He looked around, admiring the round room and the commanding lion at his back. Would he see it again? He wondered what what the Spanish would do if they got their hands on the African capital. <br/><br/>""Prime Minister. Can I have some of your time?"" he heard a familiar voice, gravelly and self-gratified. The Fitawrari Iregi approached him with a small number of uncomfortable senators in tow. Iregi had been a staunch modernist, in love with the republican forms of government in the west, and he had tried to make his dream a reality during the Civil War when he and a number of insurgents carved out a small government around Mogadishu. He had called himself 'Fitawrari', an old Ethiopian term given to distinguished nobles who commanded levies large enough to be considered respectable. This was not an official title in his case, but many still called him by it, and he had the gall to put it on his stationary. His gall annoyed Akanni all the more, as Iregi was the leader of the opposition. <br/><br/>Akanni turned and smiled. <br/><br/>""That was a beautiful speech."" Iregi said. He was dark skinned man despite being an Ethiopian. He was from the Shanqella of the south, who the Abyssinians of the highlands had once drawn their slaves from. The southerners had been pagans and muslims before they were conquered by the christian Abyssinians, so when Iyasu tried to convert his country to Islam, the dark-skinned southerners had came to sudden prominence as loyal servants of the crown. <br/><br/>""It did not have Yaqob's flair."" he continued. ""But still well worded."" <br/><br/>""I said it from the heart."" Akanni said wearily. ""This was a strange vote. It stirred up some feelings.""<br/><br/>""True, True."" Iregi said flippantly. ""Though the nation could use some words from its Emperor, if we only knew where he was.""<br/><br/>""At home."" Akanni answered. ""I have not heard of him leaving the city. He is in grief, you know.""<br/><br/>""This is true. It was a horrible tragedy, and all of Africa morns."" Iregi sounded sympathetic, but Akanni couldn't help but remember when this very same man had been a suspect in the plot that killed Emperor Yohannes. <br/><br/>""But we need our Emperor."" he added.<br/><br/>""Yes."" Akanni replied. ""I was planning to see him before I left the city. Or, at least, to try to see him. I hear his secretary and his new priest screen his visitors now.""<br/><br/>""You are the Prime Minister. Would they screen you?""<br/><br/>""Well."" Akanni hesitated. They probably would not, but Akanni wasn't sure. The Emperor had been secluded for days. Akanni was afraid what he might find. ""I am planning to go over there at least. I should deliver the news about our move in person. I am his friend. He deserves that respect.""<br/><br/>""He deserves so many respects."" Iregi said. ""For he is the Emperor.""<br/><br/>""Yes. Yes. What are your plans, Iregi? Will you participate in this war.""<br/><br/>""Oh no, no. Not yet. If I chose to it will be circumstances that feel right to me. For now, I am fleeing with all of the rest of the government. I fear there will be a traffic of nice foreign cars all the way to Gondar.""<br/><br/>""I will see you then."" Akanni replied. ""But now I suppose I should visit a friend.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Akanni climbed into the backseat of a Chinese-model sedan. Asian sensibility set the car apart from the European models. It was smaller than the limousines that westerners preferred, its lines plain and boxy with a dull grey-black paint job that reflected very little light so that it lacked the more desirable, flashy designs of the Maybach and Hispano-Suiza. The leftist values of Asia had driven Yaqob and the government that followed his fashionable sensibilities to adopt Chinese vehicles for government use, supplemented only by the hardier, but most often uglier, Polish trucks. <br/><br/>""The Emperor's Residence."" Akanni said to the driver, who had fetched the Prime Minister's vehicle from a protected place in the guts of the parking alcove. There was no reply, but no reply was needed. They rolled forward through the shadowed alcove under the west wing of the National Palace.<br/><br/>The car smelled like fresh upholstery and filtered air. Akanni put his hand down to feel the coolness of the cloth covering the back seat, but instead he found the book he had been reading that morning during his commute across the city. It had a nauseous moss-green cover with the simple black outline of an ancient bireme, and the title '<span class=""bb-i"">Crusaders of Royal Adulis</span>' was printed across it in bold Amharic text. <br/><br/>It was a historical fiction about the Axumite King Kaleb and the crusade he personally led against the Jewish monarchs of Yemen. There were allusions to modern Ethiopian control of Hejaz, but the purpose of this book and those like that were their part in the larger Pan-African cultural movement. The threat of Europe and the rise of Ethiopia's Pan-Africa had given the people of the continent an enhanced sense of their own identity, and they were beginning to eschew western art for art that celebrated their people. Heroic stories of ancient African kings replaced the classical European myths and further enhanced the growing divide between white and black. <br/><br/>Light suddenly filled the car. They left the grey-brown stone of the alcove and entered the National Plaza. It was surrounded on three sides by the National Palace, where the day to day affairs of African government were decided. The National Palace reflected western architecture, shadowing the neoclassical columns and thick, cut stone construction of the Reichstag of Germany, though the rounded eastern flair adopted from Arabic style gave it a more palatial feel. The building hugged the plaza, where a commanding statue of Menelik II watched over the stone roadways. Menelik wore the feathered crown of the old Empire, a round-shield in one hand and a lance in the other as his horse reared defiantly. <br/><br/>It suddenly struck Akanni that this was the place their government had nearly ended only three years earlier. This was where Hassan had held off a murderous riot after news of Yaqob's near-death from an assassins bullet had spread. It had been a battle all across the city. Twenty good men had defended the hospital where Yaqob had lay in a coma, while violence spread into Embassy Row, where the rioters had threatened the Chinese ambassadors with death before the streets were finally clear.<br/><br/>Lutalo and Iregi had been implicated in that ugly event, Akanni recalled. Their supporters had helped stir up the panic and fear gripping the city, and they had tried to turn it into revolution. Tried, but failed completely. <br/><br/>The sedan left the plaza and descended the hill toward the city below them. Addis blanketed the rolling hills in the shadow of the rising Entoto mountains to the north. A pang of nostalgia grew in Akanni's heart. He felt empty, looking across a city he may never see again after today. <br/><br/>He saw the lime-washed stone edifice of the hospital where Yaqob had spent his time recovering from the attempt on his life. It was nestled among the scattered canopy of palm trees and Australian eucalyptus's that hid the capital's more unassuming buildings. That was Negus Mikael General Hospital, and it was the only completely modern medical facility in the country. A disturbing thought intruded on the Prime Minister's mind just then; that hospital commanded a tactical view of the area around it from its tallest three-story tower. When the war came to the city, that hospital would become a choke-point.<br/><br/>They climbed a modest hill in their economical Chinese vehicle, which seemed to lose some power when the road became steep. From the crest of the rise, he could see the high hill that dominated the northern edge of the city. That was Mount Entoto, a name it shared with the more impressive neighbors who's shadows stood like fading clouds on the distant horizon. Mount Entoto was where the city had been founded. It was there that Menelik II and his domineering wife had constructed a modest palace commanding the heights of the Oromian territories, a land the Ethiopians had acquired only decades earlier, and it was there in which that Emperor and his wife were buried.<br/><br/>Before Entoto lie the city in its fullest. He could see the hospital in the corner of his eye. The sprawling campus of the University of Addis Ababa was recognizable by a flash of manicured grass in the distance, and beyond that was the tree-filled vale where the foreign embassies rested. In front of him was the core of the city. The main roads met here, bringing the business of a tentatively linked Africa to what had once been the location of a market bazaar, but which now hosted much more. There were no buildings in Addis Ababa that climbed above sixteen stories. The single sixteen-story rise was the Ras Hotel, a gawdy yellow structure who's sliver-thin crescent balconies and rounded European windows spoke of colonial tastes. He remembered it as a place where Safari-Trophies decorated the lobby and animal skins covered the seats. That had also been a favorite haunt of Sahle before his failed Imperial reign. In those days, the scandal of Yohannes' heir defined the Ras Hotel nearly as much as it's ridiculous design.<br/><br/>There were other tall buildings near the center of the city, though they were so sparse that no two ever rose on the same block. There were apartment buildings and office complexes, but few of them were truly specialized. On the edge of all of this, the fortress-like neoclassical Abyssinian Front Museum gleamed as if it were an ancient monument. That was another defensible spot. The granite and limestone that made the crossed wings of the museum were stronger than the walls of Harar, though the building itself commanding no particular strategic view. <br/><br/>Surrounded the city center were the miles of ramshackle homes that constituted the suburbs of Addis Ababa, where sunlight flashed on the tin roofs that had witnessed Sahle's ignoble attempt to escape and the failure that had officially ended his regime. Beyond those homes lay the scrub-land of Oromia, a land of yellow hills covered in lush trees. To the south, the land descended toward the Awash river and the lands of the black-skinned tribal peoples. To the north lay the highlands; the mountainous heart of Ethiopia, where most of its people lived and waited and prepared for war.<br/><br/>As they crawled into the city, the day-to-day pedestrians began to be replaced by a disheartening sight: refugees. They had came to the city from the African coast, and they had found no other place to go but the heart of their national capital. Akanni saw them, and felt as if he had helplessly failed them.<br/><br/>They were the robed Islamic people of Djibouti, the robe-clad Ethiopian, and the occasional American refugee from the ghettos of that same embattled port. Many wore the white or pale-colored tunics that were so popular amongst the Habesha, or the semi-arabic clothing of the Somali. There were half-naked tribesmen as well, representative of the very view who had abandoned the salt-deserts of the Afar. They carried their worldly goods with them in pathetically small cloth bags, and many were covered with the dirt of travel.<br/><br/>When they saw the black government sedan cutting through the city, they stared. That made Akanni nervous. After seeing evidence of the carnage that preceding Hassan's entrance into the city, and after experiencing the riots of '77, Akanni was nervous when it came to unwashed mobs. He felt a certain pity for their lot, inevitable as it was, but pity did not blind him to the danger that was always posed when a group of people stood prepared to egg each others grievances into hatred.<br/><br/>The people did an unexpected thing then. They began to cheer.<br/><br/>It was not the cheer of an audience seeing the end of the opera. No, this was the sound of a warrior people. Their voices rose into an ear-stinging ""LEE-LEE-LEE-LEE-LEE!"" Men hopped and shook their fists, while women and children came close and touched the slow-moving car. Akanni was stunned. The behavior was too novel for him to completely accept, and he watched the jubilation with discomfiture.<br/><br/>As they left the crowd, the Prime Minister had time to reflect on what he had just witnessed. He watched the Lion-Of-Judah statue at the center of the downtown roundabout as a man lead a mule through the grass beneath it. The feelings of the people puzzled him. Was that fear, or overconfidence, or did the people in the city truly have that much faith in their government? Where they rooting for the Prime Minister, or just the Emperor that he served? Or, in that brief moment, had Akanni served as a symbol of their entire continent?<br/><br/>The car reached its destination<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Akanni's sedan came to a stop in the shade of the eucalyptus trees. The Imperial Residence was separated from the road by a long yard, giving the a sense of rural serenity. He was met in the drive by Mvulu, the captain of the Imperial Guard, who wobbled away from the doorway of the palace in order to meet the Prime Minister. Akanni opened his door and moved quickly in order to save Mvulu the walk.<br/><br/>Mvulu was a central-African, as black as ink with short wiry hair clinging to his scalp. His face was covered in scars, the worst of which was hidden behind a gilded cream eye patch that matched the color of his uniform. His walk was a hobble because of the leg that he had lost during the Katanga crisis. In place of his lost leg was an ivory peg which with an elaborate engraving of gorillas in a mountain jungle.<br/><br/>""Captain Mvulu"" Akanni greeted with a smile. ""You're guarding the door?""<br/><br/>""The Emperor prefers me at the door."" Mvulu replied. He shook Akanni's hand with a grip that was as firm as stone. ""He is not a happy man now. He wants me to personally oversee who comes and who goes.""<br/><br/>""I would not expect him to be happy."" Akanni's smile fell. ""This has been a tragic month for us all, but much worse for our Emperor.""<br/><br/>""It has hit me hard as well, I confess."" Mvulu said. His expression grew distant and disturbed. ""I held Tewodros the day before... You know, I lived with the family too. Its a horrible thing, death. I have know many people who have died, and I have seen it happen too, but it is never easy."" He paused, searching Akanni's face for a moment. ""Do you know what it was that...""<br/><br/>""The Chinese have confirmed, it was a Spanish aircraft. Something new."" Akanni said. ""The Chinese tried to intercept, but they only arrived in time to get revenge. They lost a man in that battle.""<br/><br/>""I respect them for that."" Mvulu nodded. ""Maybe there are good people in the world who are not African. That is something I have doubted for some time.""<br/><br/>Akanni changed the subject. ""May I see him? I have news that he will need to know.""<br/><br/>""You were his friend."" Mvulu said. ""His secretary is away at a rally and the priest is gone on church business, so I will let you in.""<br/><br/>The Imperial Residence was a palatial estate built with all the charm of an Italian country villa. It had a shingled roof and beige stucco walls. Colonnades with arched columns surrounded much of the home, and lead between the buildings to a peaceful inner courtyard.<br/><br/>Mvulu opened one of the tall wooden doors that constituted the entrance to the building and held it politely for the Prime Minister. Akanni entered and felt the cool air-conditioned atmosphere wash over him. <br/><br/>""Are you going to tell his Imperial majesty to pull himself together?"" Mvulu inquired.<br/><br/>""Yes."" Akanni confirmed. <br/><br/>""The priest had been doing the same thing."" Mvulu informed. ""He tells the Emperor that he should go in the streets and help in the city. That is his advice.""<br/><br/>""That sounds like it would be more work for you."" Akanni said. Mvulu chuckled.<br/><br/>The residence carried the faint hint of pungent incense, but there were no other human scents. The first thing he saw was the thick granite map of Africa that hung from the wall opposite of the doorway. It was a massive slab, so heavy that Akanni could feel the weight just by looking at it. Visitors were known to avoid standing underneath it for fear that it might fall on them, but it was not the strangest thing in the Emperor's home.<br/><br/>Yaqob had decorated his house with an eclectic taste that straddled the divide between museum and mad-man's hermitage. As Mvulu led him through the halls, he passed a Kenyan war mask, countless framed paintings from all across the world, a gilded suit of 15th century European armor, and a mummified cat resting on a wooden table next to a phone. These were only some of the things he took note of amongst the ridiculous collection. When he turned a corner to see an elongated Hunnic skull on a silver stand, it reminded him of the fossilized skeletons of two lovingly intertwined ape-people that Yaqob had placed in the press room of the residence.<br/><br/>""He is in the Scroll room?"" Akanni guessed as he saw where they were going. <br/><br/>Mvulu nodded. ""I'll leave you too him so I can get back to my post."" Akanni finished his walk alone.<br/><br/>The door to the scroll room was made to look like bamboo, but when he pressed against it he could feel the weight of the heavy wood at its core. When he entered the room, he felt the subtle change in temperature that accompanied the climate control. The light in here was dim as well, kept like the glow of an artificial dawn.<br/><br/>Yaqob's Scroll Room was a repository for a set of Chinese artwork that had been given to the Emperor by Chairman Hou. The hand scrolls, some twenty feet in length, were works of art designed to tell a visual story scene by scene. The oldest ones were a millennia old, dating back to the Tang and Song dynasties. Those old scrolls had been printed on silk paper that had went brittle and yellow with age. The scenes they revealed were of medieval Chinese villages nestled amongst craggy mountains, dense forests hugging serene lakes where fishermen on bamboo rafts watched herons take flight, and ancient hermits in humble mountain temples giving lectures on Confucius using the nature around them as a source for examples. The sharpness of the detail was surprising, and the Chinese ink-work made it possible for these intricate scenes to blend seamlessly into the paper.<br/><br/>There were modern scrolls too. They were much younger than the ancient examples, rarely dating from more than twenty years ago. Hou himself had commissioned those works as part of the cultural programs he had launched to fortify traditional Chinese identities in the tumultuous years following the revolution. They mimicked the ancient scrolls, using yellow silk paper and showing scenes that praised the natural world, but the villages and hermits had been replaced with regiments of flag-waving soldiers and dutiful workers operating modern equipment in the rice fields of progress. <br/><br/>All of the scrolls were protected by glass cases that lined the walls. In the center of the room was a fountain made to look like a trickle of water running down a stone mountain. A red porcelain dragon wrapped around the top of the fountain. It was of the Asian variety: Long and serpentine, with colorful flame-like fins along its back and an expression of surprise so exaggerated that it looked as if somebody had goosed it. <br/><br/>But where was Yaqob? Akanni took a step, and the bamboo floor creaked.<br/><br/>""Who is there?"" a weak voice spoke up.<br/><br/>""Akanni."" <br/><br/>""Oh."" Yaqob appeared from behind the fountain. <br/><br/>The Emperor looked grey and drawn. His eyes were bloodshot, and he carried himself like an elderly man too frail to leave the hospital. He wore a wrinkled white bed tunic. There was a thin book in his hand with a title that read <span class=""bb-i"">'The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia'</span>. Akanni had never heard of it before.<br/><br/>""How are you doing?"" Akanni asked tentatively. <br/><br/>Yaqob sighed. ""I have not been doing well. You heard the news?"" he clicked his teeth and but down his book. ""Yes. Of course you have.""<br/><br/>""I am grief stricken."" Akanni replied. The silence that followed his words was so profound that the trickle of water seemed spiteful.<br/><br/>""Yes."" Yaqob said, the word caught in a rattling breath. ""I know that grief.""<br/><br/>""I have to tell you what I have came to convey."" Akanni stated. He did not know what else to say. ""The Senate has voted to abandon the capital for Gondar. I feel that it would be best if you came with us.""<br/><br/>""I cannot leave Addis Ababa. It is all I have."" the Emperor said. ""The rest of you must go though. You must carry on this thing.""<br/><br/>""Your people need you alive."" <br/><br/>""I can't."" there was a pause. Akanni saw how his friend was struggling. Yaqob was fighting to keep his composure, but he was not winning the fight. <br/><br/>""God! I can't save this country! I cannot do anything! I..."" He pulled himself back together for a moment. ""Akanni, you know me. We have been friends since Beijing. You have to trust that I am no good now.""<br/><br/>""I can't believe that."" Akanni replied. ""You have suffered worse than any man I have known, but most of your suffering had been brought on by one thing."" When he saw the change in Yaqob's eyes, he realized what he had let slip. There had been uncertainty at first, confusion about how Azima's plane had went down. There had been reports of rogue aircraft, but the initial guess was that the storm had brought down the Queen. The Chinese had brought them the truth though: It had been Spanish malice that had done this evil. <br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">They</span> did this?"" Yaqob said. ""I thought it was true, but I did not know. It was the enemy?""<br/><br/>Akanni swallowed. ""I... yes. The IB at Pemba sent us a report. They encountered the Spanish fighter.""<br/><br/>""Did they bring it down?"" Yaqob asked. His mood had changed quite suddenly. He was intense now, hanging on Akanni's words.<br/><br/>""No."" the Prime Minister answered. ""They only damaged the enemy craft.""<br/><br/>Yaqob fell back onto a bench. Tears began to well on his eyes. ""They hate me so much, that they would kill my wife... and my child?"" he was crying now. Akanni sat beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder.<br/><br/>""I wish there were better things to say."" Akanni said softly. ""Your Empire stands behind you. I saw the people in the streets today, and they were cheering your name.""<br/><br/>""An Empire is nothing."" Yaqob sobbed. ""I cannot hold it in my arms.""<br/><br/>""Your Empire is made of people, and they need you. If you cannot live for yourself, live for them, and remember that I am your friend and I will stand by you until you learn to live again.""<br/><br/>""I can only try."" Yaqob said. ""But I have been trying, and it has been no use yet. And now that I know how it happened? Leave me, Akanni. I want to forget that I was a person on this earth, just for a little time more.""</div>"
22145,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-06-28 12:23:00,TheEvanCat,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Sevan, Armenia</span><br/><br/>""Where's your name, son?""<br/><br/>Still groggy and hungover, bound in handcuffs and tossed into a cell, Yaglian writhed around on the jail cot and groaned. He had banged his head on the roof of the police car as he got out: a black bruise on his forehead might cause some to turn and wonder if the police had beat him in custody. Generally, MPs were better about that sort of thing than civilian cops. Police abuse wasn't often reported in the town, but it was there. The Corporal shook his head and tried to bury it into the green mattress of the cot. The MP sighed, crossed his arms, and tried to rouse the Corporal from his sleep again. His partner arrived in the room with a bucket of water. Yaglian groaned again as the other MP dumped out the bucket. A wave of cold passed through his spine, an involuntary desire to leap up overcame him. With a yelp, all he managed to do was tumble out of the cot and onto the concrete floor: he was soaked and shivering.<br/><br/>""Are you awake now?"" the cop with the bucket asked sarcastically, wiping his slightly wet hands on the bare undershirt he wore in lieu of jacket. His partner chuckled, watching Yaglian spit and sputter on the ground. The sound of water dripping on the concrete filled the silent intermissions.<br/><br/>""Fuck! Shit! Jesus, what a helluva shower!"" Yaglian shouted in surprise. ""For fuck's sake, you could have asked!""<br/><br/>""Sorry, boy, I guess you just weren't being very responsive.""<br/><br/>""Gah, shit. Fine, fine. I'm George Yaglian.""<br/><br/>The two MPs looked at each other, shrugged, and wrote his response down on a notepad.<br/><br/>""Where do you work?"" one asked.<br/><br/>""I laterally transferred from the Border Guard to the Army a few months ago... I work as a security specialist,"" Yaglian admitted, coughing up some water and removing his drenched jacket.<br/><br/>""Huh. Airfield?""<br/><br/>""Yep.""<br/><br/>""Who's your CO?""<br/><br/>Yaglian squinted his eyes and looked back up at the MPs before shaking his head. Their unit's commander had just been fired for sleeping with an underage prostitute in the town - he claimed he did it unknowingly but the base higher-ups wanted to make an example out of him. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence, but Yaglian's commander was gone nonetheless. An interim officer, a somewhat meek executive officer, had been assigned to command until a new Captain could be found. He explained the situation to the MPs, who wrote that down as well. They warned him that they would be sending a citation to the commander and that he needed to be more responsible on future town passes. Such minor incidents were generally under the responsibility of the unit commander instead of the Armenian Army's legal system. The most that could happen would be a reprimand and some restriction, maybe jail time if the commander was harsh enough. Yaglian, however, severely doubted anything major would come out of it.<br/><br/>The cops let Yaglian go shortly before noon, giving him a new set of fatigues and a bag to put his possessions in. It was Sunday, the base eerily quiet. Most people were sleeping off hangovers or working the weekend shift in their buildings. In the distance, helicopters were taxiing off the runway and heading east to the training section of the camp. The Corporal struggled to find his way back to the barracks, still hungover and tired. By one in the afternoon, he had almost fallen through the door to find his Greek roommate standing with half a dozen other shirtless Greeks, all watching intently as two more played a serious game of chess on the coffee table. Yaglian looked quizzically at his roommate, who shrugged and replied: ""We're alright. Did you get jailed?""<br/><br/>Yaglian sighed, replied with an unenthusiastic yes, and then announced that he was going to bed to take a nap. ""Whatever you're doing,"" he said as he shook his head, ""just keep it quiet.""<br/><br/>Monday came, and Yaglian began his trip to the headquarters for the morning briefing. Generally administered by the officer of the day, it went over general concerns like current events and dangers to be looked out for that day. As always, the threat of Ottoman saboteurs was marked as a moderate threat. It was not expected but that didn't mean that Yaglian was allowed to drop his vigilance. Arms were issued out by a bored-looking armorer, and Yaglian was sent out to the hangars were he stood in the shade and watched fighters and helicopters fly back and forth over the tarmac. His fellow guard, another foreigner, never spoke. Yaglian's main theory about security guards was that they took all the refugees who couldn't speak Armenian and tossed them here, out of the main public eye. The ""true"" Armenians were all thrown together in the main regiments and sent off to fight for glory. That would explain Yaglian's roommate's Greek parties.<br/><br/>Curiously enough, Yaglian's commander never spoke to him about the drunken brawl. Maybe the word was lost in the confusion of interim commanding or the issue was discarded completely. Nonetheless, Yaglian was never sure if he was supposed to be punished or not and decided it was safe to just keep on the down-low. Yet he suspected ulterior motives: a storm was brewing over Istanbul, and he feared that they were keeping NJPs to a minimum in order to have troops ready to go at a moment's notice.<br/><br/>One could only hope for some action around those parts.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Independent Istanbul</span><br/><br/>A fireplace crackled as an NSS agent threw a box of shredded papers down into it. A man in a suit with a rifle peeked around a window curtain to see the view outside. The sun had set, and the Armenian embassy had begun final procedures to sanitize its covert involvements before something happened. Actionable intelligence had just come in that the Ottomans were massing troops at a previously-abandoned military base just outside of Istanbul. The staff could see reconnaissance planes circling daily, no doubt taking pictures of anything and everything. The NSS had contacted the Istanbul Police and determined that they were taking steps to fortify strategic points in anticipation of an invasion. Militias, generally organized neighborhood-by-neighborhood, were forming. Strangely enough, they were equipped with Armenian weapons: the NSS staff at the embassy claimed that they didn't know how and blamed it on surplus, but the station chief was a notoriously bad liar. On the other side of the city, Greeks were poised to enter under the pretense of securing the city's independence against expansionist Ottoman policies. Lines of trucks and tanks stretched for kilometers down the main road leading to Europe.<br/><br/>A helicopter was expected to arrive sometime in the night to evacuate the officials to a waiting Armenian vessel in the Black Sea. Then, they would be quickly and quietly ferried back to the Fatherland and a waiting debriefing in Yerevan. The building was to be abandoned, the staff dispersed back to other government jobs. When the Greeks, Ottomans, Istanbulites, and possibly Armenians came to blows over the ancient city, the embassy workers would be safe. Outside, there were echoes of gunshots across the city. Criminals? Skirmishes? Nobody really knew. The man with the rifle by the window tensed up every time a crack sounded off. He looked over at the NSS agents, as if trying to hurry them up. The embassy staff, ties undone and button-down shirts untucked and unbuttoned, paid no attention. They focused on the tasking at hand, without too much thought. It took six hours to do a clean sweep of the record room, combing through it again and again and again to ensure that nothing was left behind. God forbid the Ottomans find a folder in some corner with captured documents still inside. An NSS agent stood by with a manifest, checking accountability every time something was tossed in the fireplace.<br/><br/>A heavy cargo helicopter arrived at one in the morning, flying in low with no lights on. The building shook violently as the thunderous rotors tore shingles off of the roof. It couldn't land on the questionably-sound structure and instead hovered about a half meter above the surface. Commandos, holding rifles with gigantic nightvision scopes, hopped out of the cargo bay and crouched down low on the embassy roof. They wore masks, black uniforms, and lean kit. The embassy workers arrived on the rooftop just as shots came over. They dropped to the ground as the sonic cracks snapped and lashed at them. The commandos urged the embassy workers to hurry up, one of them grabbing a clerk by the collar and tossing him violently up the cargo ramp. The enormous helicopter could take forty people. There were sixty-three on the embassy.<br/><br/>Luckily, a sister helicopter arrived to take the remaining staff. Someone, most likely eager militiamen, were ready this time. Antiaircraft gun fire, tracers, arced across the night sky. Rifle shots hit the concrete barriers on the roof and threw up clouds of dust and shrapnel. The special operators inside ducked down and shouted at the horrified embassy workers to hurry up. They needed no encouragement and jumped aboard. The helicopter throttled up, turned sideways, and rocketed to altitude - it was never apparent that the rotor narrowly missed a power line that could have crashed the whole thing back down. The flight to the mothership lasted thirty minutes: they touched down on the helicopter carrier immediately. The civilian ship - the flat top cleared and replaced with fabricated metal landing pads for eight helicopters and assorted support functions like fuel - turned its rudder and steamed away as fast as it could.<br/><br/>It was a clean escape from a coming storm.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Sevan Island, Armenia</span><br/><br/>The rumbling of a dozen helicopters let the enemy know long before the Officer Candidates arrived on the beaches of Sevan Island. Hidden in the dense forests overlooking the drop zone, the cadre were ready. Armed with rifles and rubber bullets, they readied for the attacking force. Heavy machineguns in the woods had enough power to knock a Candidate down and, possibly, break bones with the ""non-lethal"" weaponry. It was enough incentive as any to take it carefully during the opening stages of the assault. Abbasian and Sulayev, squad leaders in D Company, knew the simple objective was not so simple. The cadre would be laying out traps and ambushes as they darted up the flank to hit the rear. Despite their tactical officer's assumption that there would be no ""wild goose chases"", Abbasian had been privately warned that the instructors were in possession of the battle plans after breaking into the barracks and picking the lock on the CO's file cabinet. The fight was designed to be as unfair as possible.<br/><br/>They hit the beach seconds later. The helicopters, in keeping with their violence of action strategy, landed harshly. A loadmaster practically threw the first few troops through the door as the dismounts began firing wildly at the treeline. They hit the floor, flattening themselves against the warm sands of the beach while their comrades took turns suppressing the cadre. Twenty seconds into the rehearsed action, there was still no returning fire. Abbasian kept his face firmly in the sands until he heard murmuring along the lines: ""Where are they?""<br/><br/>The Officer Candidates cautiously looked up. Some went up onto their knees, scanning the trees for anything like movement or activity. Sulayev inched up and gazed through the telescopic sight attached to his K19 before Abbasian grabbed his sleeve and dragged him back down. ""They know, this is a trick.""<br/><br/>Behind Abbasian, the platoon leader's radio beeped. The bespectacled Candidate reached for his backpack handset and listened as another platoon leader voiced his confusion. The officer simple replied the same thing that everyone else was thinking: ""I don't know either!"" and hung up. He put his hands back on the rifle grip just as B Company began to cautiously execute its attack procedure. The cadre, however, were waiting. B Company, heading across the sands slowly and hunched down low, had no cover as a barrage of rifle rifle peppered them with rubber bullets. The referee attached to the company walked calmly behind with a stick, whacking those who were ""out"" and telling them to play dead. Those he determined were wounded were told to scream out in mock pain. C Company's leader came over the tactical radio net and shouted to get out of the ambush. The instructors had begun sweeping fire to the other sides of the arrowhead formation that B Company had spearheaded. B Company was completely wiped out, with maybe a squad or so combat effective. ""We need to go, right fucking now!"" ordered Abbasian's platoon leader.<br/><br/>""What are we gonna fuckin' do, roll out of the way?"" Abbassian shot back while a burst of rubber bullets plunked into the sand just centimeters away. The platoon leader shrugged, stood up, and ran like an Olympic sprinter to safety.<br/><br/>""Follow him! Follow him!"" Sulayev commanded before getting up to do the same. The four squads all took off, running in full gear as if their lives depended on it. The company took heavy fire during its advance before the platoon leader ducked down behind a rocky portion of the beach. It was there where he could hide his men and allow them to regroup and catch their breath. F Company was on its way but Abbasian's platoon leader hadn't heard of them. The cadre were playing dirty tricks to disorganize the students' approach, and that just made him frustrated. If anything, his resolve to finish the exercise and graduate became stronger than ever. The platoon leader was busy trying to communicate on the radio when Abbasian approached him.<br/><br/>""Hey man, listen... The instructors are going to be one step ahead of us,"" Abbasian warned the sheepish mock-Lieutenant. ""They have our plans.""<br/><br/>""Yeah, I know,"" the platoon commander shot back, cupping his hand over the radio's mouthpiece.<br/><br/>""So we need to improvise, we can't keep heading up the flank. If F Company isn't answering their radios then they might be out. That means the cadre have positioned units to interdict our flanking operations further down the beach...""<br/><br/>""Shit.""<br/><br/>""Let's think about it, how many instructors and staff do you think we have? Equal force?""<br/><br/>Sulayev, unbeknownst to Abbasian, had crouch-walked up to the meeting. His dark skin was shining with sweat and large, dark pools had formed under his armpits. ""Equal force is what the briefing told us,"" he answered cautiously. ""If the instructors are being dicks about it then they probably scraped up some more troops to answer us.""<br/><br/>""So what can we gather about the landing? They wiped out B Company with that barrage... How many guns do we estimate?"" Abbasian started the train of thought in his fellow Candidates, walking them through a thorough evaluation of the battle. They determined that it was a whole platoon in the front shooting their weapons at B Company based on how much fire was directed as the advance group versus the time it took to ""kill"" them all. The lighter resistance to moving up the beach that D Company experienced was most probably due to the lack of men available at the frontlines of the cadre's positions to deal with a scattering. F Company's quick destruction was the result of the same: possibly a greater-sized defensive force knocking it out on the west side of the island. Down on the east where D Company huddled in a rocky bluff, it was only natural to assume that there was an equal-sized force waiting downrange on the beach. That was three or four units accounted for. There was going to be at least one at the home base pulling security, possibly two. There were a lot of assumptions, but it was the best they could do.<br/><br/>""We should dart into the woods behind the initial welcoming party but in front of the suspected location where they're waiting for us,"" Sulayev offered as he drew a rough map in the sand with a stick he found nearby. ""They're expecting us to continue up the east into their trap... If we go through here we could flank the frontlines and relieve pressure on the main assault force.""<br/><br/>The Yazidi held his head up and nodded to the landing zone where the sounds of a fierce battle were still showing no signs of letting up.<br/><br/>""What about the entrapment force?"" Abbasian asked with a stoic voice, pointing to the circled position. ""I can take a squad up and make it look like we're still trying to flank... That would stop them from investigating your incursion and make it appear that everything was still going to plan. It's suicide, and it only buys time for you to break their lines, but it might be necessary.""<br/><br/>The platoon leader shook his head: ""We're outnumbered as it is, we might need you.""<br/><br/>""It's not gonna matter if the entrapment force collapses on us when we attack the suppressive positions. This beach is rocky, we can dig in behind cover and our much smaller force can defend against the reinforcements if they decide to collapse. We turn it from an offensive to a defensive and we have somewhat of an even playing field.""<br/><br/>In the distance, the faint sounds of artillery simulators - blasting caps stuck into the earth that went off on random fuzes to give the sounds and smells of an artillery barrage - could be heard. The intensity of the instructors' counter-attacking artillery would shake and disorient the trainees. The platoon leader looked at Abbasian, who maintained that his plan was the only option. His steely eyes looked down at the hasty sand table below them, hands gripping his rifle. Sulayev solemnly nodded. There was no time for debate: the longer they stalled, the higher the chance that they would be collapsed on anyways.<br/><br/>Abbasian's squad readied themselves, trading in some of their rifles for more light machine guns to give the impression of a bigger force. Much of their ammo was distributed out to the rest of the company alongside rations and other gear. They weren't expecting to survive the encounter. Sulayev and the platoon leader watched wordlessly as Abbasian walked over to the radioman, tapped him on the shoulder, and grabbed the handset off of his manpack. The Candidate offered it to his platoon leader: ""You need to tell them we're launching our attack up the flank. I think they're monitoring communications. They must be.""<br/><br/>Sulayev cracked his knuckles and looked back at the men gearing up. ""What will the others think?""<br/><br/>""It doesn't matter,"" the platoon leader agreed. ""We'll link up and explain anyways.""<br/><br/>As the sounds of artillery got closer, the platoon leader took the phone from Abbasian. Squatting down in the rocks by the bay, he turned the channel to the leaders' joint combat net: ""All units, C Company. We are beginning our stage of the attack as scheduled, over.""<br/><br/>The radio was hung back up and the platoon leader turned to Abbasian: the dark-skinned ethnic Syrian was already halfway out of cover and sprinting up the beach. Sulayev watched him go in a mix of amusement and mild surprise. ""How did we even find motherfuckers like him?""</div>"
22146,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-06-30 11:55:00,Vilageidiotx,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Socotra</span><br/><br/>The natives had let Azima and the children sleep through the morning, and when the evening came they celebrated. A goat was slaughtered and roasted in honor of the Queen, which they served with dried dates and bowls of rice soaked with sour milk. An old man, his skin the charcoal black of central Africa, had arrived in the middle of the day with a string of silvery fish, which where roasted over the same open fire as the goat. Azima hadn't eaten since their plane went down, and now she was hungry. Her stomach seemed to be bottomless, and she ate more than she thought was polite, though nobody seemed to notice. She sat with her guests at the edge of a roaring fire, her body still sore and bruised from the crash. The women had lent her a simple blue dress to replace the torn clothes they had found her in. This was the first time these people had saw a Queen, and in their clothes she hardly looked any different from them. <br/><br/>A young man plucked an Oud - a string instrument that looked like a large nut that had been cut in half and strung. He played it quick and lively, and its playful resonance reminded her of the Spanish guitar. He sung as he played, and the young people danced around the fire. A young girl, barefoot, wide-eyed, and dressed in colorful scraps complimented by a headscarf, had chosen Tewodros as her dance partner. As a toddler, he was not coordinated, but he tried to keep up with all the grace of a turtle flailing on its back. Olivier stayed next to Azima, more interested in the fire than the dancers.<br/><br/>Socotra was a beautiful island. As the sun went down, it bathed the surrounding hills in an fresh orange light the color of an overripe melon. Umbrella-shaped trees turned to shadowed silhouettes in the dying light, and they stood stark against a vivid sky. Below them were the rocky precipices where green patches of grass draped ridge-tops like blankets of moss.<br/><br/>The natural world seemed to swallow the small village. Here, the buildings were small and humble. They were built out of raw stone and dry thatch, and they blended into the scenery around them. Humanity proclaimed their presence in this natural landscape with the floral scent of burning dragonsblood and the savory smell of roasted goat. They also brought to this place the sound of music and laughter, the soft crackle of the fire and the distant mooing of cattle. <br/><br/>She sat at the place of honor, the village elder next to her. He was an old man in islamic garb. His skin was red and worn with age and a ragged grey beard sprouted from his face, but his protruding belly told of a life that had not been dominated by hardship.<br/><br/>Azima watched her only son dancing with the girls. It was a beautiful thing. Her entire body felt warm, and half of her thoughts were dedicated to him. She had lost him. Every time she saw him, she remembered that. She had lost him, but he had been returned to her!<br/><br/>She watched him shuffle and knew she would get him to China. She imagined him an adult sitting on the throne of Africa. She would not lose him again.<br/><br/>""They are having a good time."" he said, watching the children dance. Some of the adults joined them, but most stayed in the sidelines. People talked, told stories, argued, and laughed. ""Look at the good time that they are having."" her host bellowed a second time, chuckling as he spoke.<br/><br/>""Yes"" she smiled, her eyes centered warmly on her boy. Several courtly responses came to mind, but they did not seem appropriate. This was not a time for Imperial pomp. <br/><br/>""I do not think Socotra has ever seen a Queen."" the elder said. ""But I do not know. All of my life our island has been part of Ethiopia.""<br/><br/>""Has your island ever been on its own? Did it ever have royalty?""<br/><br/>""I do not know this thing."" he shrugged. ""We were ruled by the faranj before I was born. Before that, this place belonged to Islam.""<br/><br/>Azima nodded. She thought bitterly about the other Queen who should be here. The Queen Dowager, Yaqob's mother. She had left Addis with them, but the sea claimed her now. Elani's death would hurt Yaqob and his sister, who were the only ones left from the family that Iyasu begat. Yohannes' siblings had died young, victims of the diseases and wars that plagued Ethiopia's transition from tribal feudalism to modern nation-state.<br/><br/>Azima wanted to stay and help search for the Queen-Dowager's body so that it could be given a proper burial, but she knew that Yaqob would think his child and his Queen dead as well. She knew he was suffering, and it pained her to be the cause of that suffering. They had to leave the island, to save her husband from total grief and to show the Spanish that they had failed. <br/><br/>""We will take you to town in a few days, when we think it is safe."" the elder explained. ""The fishermen say that planes have been seen in the sky, and that faranj ships are being spotted out to sea.""<br/><br/>""We want to be safe."" she agreed. ""Are there any government employees in town?"" <br/><br/>""There were."" the elder said. ""But they have left. It is just the people who are native to this place. We can access the radios, though. Do not worry. We will make sure you reach the safety in the east.""<br/><br/>She studied the villagers and wondered. These were not wealthy people. Their clothes were frayed and dusty, and there was no common fashion to the choice of their garb. The women wore colorful homespun dresses. Some wore head-scarfs, while others let tangled hair twist freely into a wild mess. There were men who wore turbans, while others did not. Some men wore long skirt-like wraps, while others had baggy pants. Azima noticed that half of the villagers were barefoot, and that included most of the kids. Those who did wear shoes had no more than home-spun rope sandals or cheap leather slippers. <br/><br/>They were thin. Not starving, but thin all the same. The men had bony faces where they wore short mustaches or half-grown wispy beards. They were short as well, and plain. These were not warriors, Azima knew. They had the fire of youth in their eye, but it was not battle that those flames inspired in them. She knew part of it was her; she was still young, and though she had born a child she still had a shape that men liked to notice. Without the tail of guards and courtiers that she was used to, she was more aware of the unknown men around her than she had been for several years. It did not worry her. There was no malice in this place, but noticing the men noticing her made her think about what they could do, and what they could do was not much.<br/><br/>It would only take one Spanish soldier, well trained, well armed, and draped with all the necessary ammunition, to wipe out this entire village. An idiot might bungle too close and get mobbed, but a clever man would know to strafe them so that they panicked. She, the Queen of Ethiopia and Africa, was the only fighter in this place, and it had been many years since she had performed in professional violence. <br/><br/>Had Socotra ever seen a war?<br/><br/>""How do you people feel about what is happening?"" Azima asked.<br/><br/>""The War?""<br/><br/>She nodded.<br/><br/>""Well, we do not think we will see it here."" the elder said. ""I am not sure what the faranj would want with our island this time. When they were here before, they were barely here at all."" <br/><br/>""Perhaps they might arrive to set up some sort of outpost to watch the red sea. Perhaps they need your cows to feed their soldiers. What happens then?""<br/><br/>He had not seriously considered this as a possibility before now, that much was plain on his face. He looked afraid. What she saw was not the existential fear that the young show, where the eyes go wide and the mouth droops. This was a ponderous fear. The fear in a man who's life is nearly done so that he worries more about the fate of what he will leave behind than his own mortal life. <br/><br/>""We can take to the hills.""<br/><br/>""You already are in the hills."" Azima pointed out.<br/><br/>""There are higher hills"" he retorted. He had worked through his fear, and he was smiling now. ""But do not worry about these things, I will tell you something tonight, when we have put the children to bed.""<br/><br/>She was intrigued.<br/><br/>When the last purple sunlight escaped over the sea beyond the hills, the stars came out in endless numbers. People left the fireside one by one, but the children did not seem tired. They danced on, slower than they were before, while the old men and women dosed off. It was only when the fire had burned to embers that everyone agreed to return to their homes.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The guest room was a simple room on the side of the Village Elder's house. The floor was dirt, and they slept on beds that were no more than blankets placed on top of straw. The darkness of the room weighed heavy on Azima's heart, and she could feel the anxieties of night starting to prey on her as soon as she found the place that she would rest. She stayed up to talk to the children until they went to sleep.<br/><br/>""I am tired now, ahkist."" Olivier piped. He had a whistling voice, almost as empty as air. <br/><br/>""That is good."" Azima said softly. <br/><br/>""I not tired."" Tewodros struggled in his toddler's voice, but the sluggishness of his speech told her that he wasn't telling the truth. ""Where setiiyet?""<br/><br/>Elani. That struck her like a punch in the throat. How could she tell her son that his grandmother was lost to them? ""She is elsewhere."" Azima answered cooly. ""And she would want you to go to bed.""<br/><br/>""Abat too?""<br/><br/>""Yes."" she answered.<br/><br/>""I did a dance."" he crooned. She could not see him in the blackness of the windowless room, but she could hear the smile in his voice. <br/><br/>""You did."" she said. ""Did the dancing make you tired?""<br/><br/>There was a silence. Somewhere outside, a cow mooed.<br/><br/>""No."" Tewodros finally replied. ""Or yes. I do no want to be tired.""<br/><br/>""You don't want to be tired? Oh Yeh-nay-wehn-deh-lee! What is there for you to do now but sleep?""<br/><br/>""I can dance!"" he exclaimed.<br/><br/>""In this darkness? You could not see yourself dance, and I could not see it either.""<br/><br/>There was another pause. It seemed like she could hear the volume of the darkness that surrounded them for miles.<br/><br/>""I am tired."" he finally gave in. She could not see when he fell asleep, so she sat alone in the silence looking at nothing.<br/><br/>When there is nothing to sense, the mind runs wild. The weight of what had happened began to crush her again. She heard the scream of metal, and the sickly death rattle of plane engines as they dove into the ocean. Worst of all, she remembered the last time she saw Elani. If people die bravely, or if they die peacefully, those who witness their last moments can take some comfort in the knowledge that they had accepted death when it came. The last image Azima had of her mother-in-law was not of bravery or peace. What she had seen was a terrified old woman, elderly before her time and confused about what was happening as her life entered its final seconds. It was a heartbreaking image, and Azima couldn't shake it.<br/><br/>She sat alone in the painful dark and knew she couldn't sleep. Her vigil was cut mercifully short when she heard a whisper, and she remembered what the elder had told her at the fire.<br/><br/>She stood up and brushed the straw from her dress. The room was dark except for the ethereal glow of orange that came from the doorway. She groped blindly until she found herself in the next room, where she was greeted by the elderly man. He held a torch in his hands.<br/><br/>""I am sorry that it is late, but I was afraid the children would not get their sleep. I wanted to talk."" His wife stood next to him, an old woman with prunish skin and wiry grey hair. Her eyes looked bloodshot in the light.<br/><br/>""What is it that you wanted to say?"" Azima asked in a whisper. <br/><br/>He shook his head. ""I want to show you something first."" The torch drank in the air and roared as he motioned toward the door. Azima looked back at the dark room where the children still slept and wondered at leaving them behind. They were in no danger, she accepted. This place and these people are benign.<br/><br/>He lead her out of his modest house into the dirt path outside, and his wife followed them like a silent wraith in the star-lit darkness. Torchlight played across desert stone, and in the eyes of camels restless in their pen. A cool breeze blew in from the ocean, which she could hear humming far away. Somewhere nearby, a cow mooed.<br/><br/>They came to a newer building, built from the same raw stone that formed the rest of the village. It had windows framed with sticks, and there were Arabic words painted above the door. It read, quite simple, ""Madrasa."" School. They went inside.<br/><br/>The building smelled like dirt and musty paper. There were benches arranged throughout the room like the pews of a church, and they all faced a smaller bench where the altar would be. A bookshelf sat directly behind the small bench, and it left the walls in the back of the room bathed in shadow.<br/><br/>""This is a new place."" Azima noted. <br/><br/>""Yes."" the elder said proudly. ""We did not have a school when I was a young man. My children did not have a school either, but my grand children have this place."" He went to where the small bench was and thrust his torch up so that the back of the wall received light. Her eyes went instantly toward an image she recognized.<br/><br/>In the left-hand corner of the room hung a painting of Yaqob. It was the one that was most often copied and sent to government offices, but she knew that it was even more common than that. He sat regally in a wicker chair, dressed in a brown cape draped over a white robe. It was a portrait from when he was young and new to the throne, and his face was still unbearded.<br/><br/>""Your husband is a handsome man."" the Elder's wife said thoughtfully.<br/><br/>""And we are grateful for him. And not just for him."" the elder eyed a second painting, this one to the right of the bookshelf. If Yaqob's portrait had been unexpected, then the second one was like seeing a ghost materialize from the shadows.<br/><br/>Emperor Yohannes had always been a serious, long faced man. He stood in his portrait with one hand on a ceremonial sword as he looked onward toward the left. He wore a long white robe tied with a red sash, and on top of his head was the crown his father had ordered made with a crescent at its peak.<br/><br/>There were two Emperor's in that schoolhouse, and they were the only paintings in the entire village. <br/><br/>The Village Elder surprised her in a new way now; he began to exude strength. His appearance took on an air of nobility Azima did not think possible for the people of this island, and his slumping face seemed to tighten where once his jowls had drooped.<br/><br/>""You wanted to know what I think about what is happening to our country."" He began, and he spoke with the confidence of a general giving a speech before battle. ""I feel like I needed to take you here first. Our people are different in many ways, so I wanted to show you that we are fellow countrymen. Your people mean a lot to ours.""<br/><br/>He took a deep breath and studied her. She looked him in the eyes, but the visages of her husband and his deceased father stole her attention in the periphery of her vision. The old man continued to speak.<br/><br/>""When the faranj ruled us, they built a dock and put in the radios. The Emperors from Africa have done more for us. The father gave us the school, and the son has made it where a school-teacher travels from the town once a week to teach our children how to write and read. Some of the children here can speak two languages, our tongue and yours. One of my grandchildren knows French as well, and he is only twelve."" A proud smiled slipped across the old man's lips, and firelight twinkled in his eyes. ""I have only known this island, and I do not complain. But my grandchildren? They will be able to make choices that I never knew, and that I could never give to my children. If they want to stay here and know the life I have known, that will be their choice, and if they want to leave, they will have the languages and the skills to find their place elsewhere. Perhaps one of my grandchildren will join the bureaucracy and have a home where the windows have glass. Maybe they will find work on a ship and travel the world. I cannot..."" he chuckled. ""I cannot even think of all of the things that they can do! And I know who we owe this too.""<br/><br/>The old man glanced back at the portrait of Yohannes.<br/><br/>""If all of your Kingdom has enjoyed blessings such as these, then I have no reason to fear. Some of the fishermen, and some of the men in the town, they have went to the mainland to go and fight. My people are not fighters, but I know that my sons watch the ocean sometimes and wonder. I want you to know that your people love you. They will rise up like waves and dash the enemy likes crabs against the rocks. Perhaps, when the people of the world were scattered and afraid, the faranj could confuse them and take control, but our people are united now, and they know. There are not enough faranj in this world for you to worry.""<br/><br/>Azima was speechless. Since the war began, she had endured the rises and the falls of the war along with those she knew, but tonight was the first time she felt truly at peace with what was happening. She thought it was possible that things might go back to how they had been before.</div>"

The bill, which ordered all properties over 10,000 acres to be broken up, and which mandated that tenant farmers have an at least 50% share of all properties over 100 acres, was ruled to contravene the basic rights of property inscribed in the Law, insomuch as the expropriation was deemed not to be conducted in the superior interests of the State. Furthermore, the court judged that the compensations offered to the owners were insufficient.<br/><br/>	With this ruling, the court confirms its status as a staunch opponent of the SPP-lead government, with similarly negative decisions expected in the coming months on the reforms enacted since the coalition arrived in power last August. This faces the authorities with the challenge of finding an alternative method to apply the reforms while making them palatable to the Supreme Court, whose 9 members, none of which can be considered to be sympathetic to Socialism, will not make it an easy task.<br/><br/>	As the conflict with the Judicial system opens, so does a rift in the ruling coalition, as the uneasy compromise between the various factions composing the SPP as well as the groups which associated with it following last summer's scandals appears increasingly fragile. While the most radical among the SPP speak openly of disregarding the court's decision, if not simply forcibly replacing the justices, others are starting to question the feasibility and even desirability of certain campaign promises.<br/><br/>	Dariush Kayrani, widely considered as the spokesperson of the leftmost faction of the party, has made in recent weeks repeated calls for the ""uprising of the proletariat"", and the ""rightful reclamation of the lands and factories by those whose blood and sweat have made this country great"". In so doing he has openly criticized the perceived lack of ""revolutionary ardor"" of the current cabinet, and most of all the First Delegate, Mahmud Hotami, whom he heckles at party rallies as an ""agent of Capital"". Supported by a significant portion of the militants, he demands the immediate dissolution of the Supreme Court, the destitution of the Shah, and the start of a vast campaign to collectivize the countryside, occupy factories, and eradicate religion. <br/><br/>	Sara Gamool, one of the members of the Central Bureau of the party closest to the FD, has often faced off with Dariush Kayrani. Justifying the executive's actions, she has said, again and again, that the government must respect the democratic institutions of the state, and the Constitution as it stands, until a new Constitution will have been drafted and adopted. As a consequence, though she expressed her ""profound disappointment"" at the ruling of the Supreme Court, she said the executive had to respect the verdict of the highest court of justice in the nation. She added she trusted the FD would not rest until lands were fairly distributed and until all farmers could live with dignity from the toil of their land.<br/><br/>	Tensions run high within the party itself, but it is with its external partners that they seem to be reaching a critical point. Ruhollah Shanjari, a liberal activist from the Center for Freedom, declared earlier today that ""the Court's decision gives us the opportunity to reflect on what we are trying to achieve with this law. I think it was too extreme, and would have adversely affected the country's economic growth. Perhaps the ruling comes at the right moment, and will allow a healthy, moderate debate on land reform."" This wing of the coalition, always uneasy with the SPP's ideology, is pushing for a strong shift towards the political center.<br/><br/>	These voices of dissent are increasingly undermining the government's authority, but they do not yet threaten its majority in the Majlis. Professor Muhammad Marissian, who teaches politial science at the University of Tabriz, explained that ""the coalition is held together by fear of the PR (Party of Righteousness). Everyone knows that if it falters, the PR will return to power. Furthermore, in the current tense geopolitical environment, it is understood that a weak leftist government in Persia is an easy target for anticommunist governments such as Spain. It is a matter of survival that, despite the very wide array of ideological positions present within the coalition, all factions support the government's opposition to Spain's and the other European powers' neocolonial attitude, indeed pushing for more direct intervention to help the Pan-African Empire.""<br/><br/>	The coalition's hold on power seems, for the moment, assured, but if the standoff with the Supreme Court continues, and if trust is not restored between its members, turbulent times might be ahead of us.</div>"

It was not true silence, not with the choppy purr of the fighter's engine roaring near his ears, but that was a sound that he had grown accustomed to. It still felt like a silence, punctuated by the calmness of night. <br/><br/>His eyes had adjusted to the darkness beyond the bubble of glass that protected the cabin from the freezing cold air outside. The only light he could see aside from the stars was the green, supernatural glow of the radium paint that illuminated the dials on the dash. Any more light in the cabin could cause night blindness, so that radium glow was the only thing cutting through the blackness he sat immersed in. He could make out the rugged rocky details on the ground below, a moonscape of jagged hills broken by dry scrubland and thin, salty dunes. It was a hell of a place to fight a war, he thought. The port at Djibouti was all there was to fight for in this part of Africa, and the pilot doubted they could retake it. Was reconquest even the purpose of this attack? It wasn't his business to question, he supposed. He was here to bring down a few ferengi and go home. <br/><br/>The Ethiopians had came out in force - seven hundred aircraft, aging fighters bought from Germany during Iyasu's reign and the newer streamlined and silvery fighters purchased from China during Yaqob's, arranged like migratory birds in extended V's bristling with torpedoes and bombs, and machine guns that would pepper the Spanish with millions of lethal shots before the night was over. <br/><br/>Part of their training had been to gain a personal relationship with their birds. Once a week, they slept underneath them at night. They took part in the maintenance, helping to refuel when they landed and to do mechanical repairs when necessary. They had also been allowed to paint their own planes, the paint supplied to them by the air force itself. The colors they used were vibrant and alive, and they covered most of their planes so that few retained their original metallic sheen or any traces of dull factory paint jobs. <br/><br/>He had decorated his bird with an image of Saint George riding a charging, muscle-bound horse. The Saint leaned forward on both sides of the plane, gilded red robes flowing about him like the clouds of heaven, and his couched lance ending where the plane's guns jutted from breaks in the fuselage. This image graced both sides of his craft - not exactly identical, but close enough to seem so without being able to see both at the same time. Others had chosen similar images. There were Lions of Judah, and angelic cherubs that looked like disembodied heads with wings. Some had painted warriors on their fuselage's, others women, while pilots from other parts of the Empire used geometric designs made of interwoven diamonds and webbing lines. Animals were a popular choice as well. There were leopards and gazelles speeding through the sky alongside his Saint George, though it was difficult to seem them in the dark. In fact, it was difficult to make out <span class=""bb-i"">anything</span> in the dark. <br/><br/>Before war was declared, after the enemy had stated their intent to invade, Hassan had ordered the airforce to drill in night flying. It was a tricky skill, he could not doubt that now if he ever had before. To fly at night required a completely different level of concentration. It was difficult to see anything more than shadows, and the sky was so profoundly black that they could crash into an enemy aircraft just as soon as they spotted it. He would have doubted their ability to fight in these conditions if he hadn't been assured that the problem was accounted for by command. Their training had prepared them for caution above all else, but it had also trained them how to interpret what they were seeing with too few visual clues. His eyes scoped the few hints of earth he could see in front of the wings.<br/><br/>He could see the mottled ground below as it slopped down toward the ocean. The tumbled hills gave way to an open plain, with a halo of orange light crowning the eastern horizon like the first hints of sunrise. But this was not the sun, which had set less than an hour earlier. The Spanish fleet was there, he realized. That was their light.<br/><br/>Olive-drab patches on the sandy ground below suggested the scrub and palm groves of the coastal desert. They were dry this time of year, the wet season having given way to the quenched heat of summer. He examined the ground as a massive landing strip now, considering where he should go if he were forced to land. It would be dangerously open, and the Ethiopian forces would be tucked further west in the protection of the hills behind him. If he were to wander in that direction on foot, he would run the risk of getting lost in an unforgiving desert, but the alternative would be captivity. He had no intentions of waiting out the war in a prison camp.<br/><br/>The orange halo grew closer, and as it came closer it became more mysterious. It wasn't the blistering white beams of spotlights, nor was it the dull blush of the few streetlights that Djibouti had along its main thoroughfares. It was organic and blotchy, like the glow of a lamp behind an animal-hide cover. Some parts of the city still lay in darkness, while others seemed to grow. He saw flashes bloom brightly before becoming part of the luminous whole.<br/><br/>And that was when he realized it was fire. Djibouti was on fire, and the fire was growing.<br/><br/>Radio silence was cut when the electric voice came from the static. <span class=""bb-i"">""//Targets sighted. Eleven o'clock... gunships.//""</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""//Waaahaaa!//""</span> and excitable second voice cut in, loud enough to obscure itself in frantic feedback. <span class=""bb-i"">""//Free kills! Take them out, brothers!//""</span><br/><br/>The darkness was not a problem. Djibouti had become a lamp for them to fight by, and he could see the enemy targets like black bugs against a burning sky. The engine whirred as he dove, and he felt sweet gravity pressing him to his seat. He lined his sights and, with adrenaline filling his veins full of a new energy, he opened fire. Machine guns in the nose of of the craft punched out murderous rounds, and he could feel the power of the attack coursing through his arms. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>What had been a faint, orange haze glowing on the horizon minutes earlier had grown into a proper inferno. The sea was cast in the hellish glow of the city ablaze, waves shimmered with warm hues as the landing craft crawled ever closer to shore. Beyond the last hundred yards of surf and foam that separated Luis and his companions from the shores of Ethiopia, a seething wall of fire towered before them. Hector and the others no longer had ridicule to pour upon the defenders. The Spanish infantry bided in solemn silence, basking with trepidation in the glow of the blaze.<br/><br/>Gunships swooped overhead, drowning out the crashing of waves against the beach and the hum of the boats' motors for a moment as they drove into the veil of embers and smog. Downdrafts from their propellers agitated the fires below as they flew above the city, leaving momentary whirlwinds in the blazes spewing from the windows and rooves of waterfront tenements.<br/><br/>""About a minute out...!"" The driver crowed from the landing boat's helm.<br/><br/>""When that ramp goes down, you get your asses to cover - stones, trees, dunes, whatever."" Ayesta ordered once the roar of the gunships had passed. ""If bullets won't go through it, get behind it. Rally on me once the beach is clear and we'll move south along the coast around the city and the fires.""<br/><br/>Luis could feel the waves lurching up under the hull of the boat, jostling him back and forth. The waves were crashing down over sandbars just beyond the hull. Almost there.<br/><br/>""About to lower the ramp!"" The helmsman reported. ""Get into pos- <span class=""bb-i"">Jesucristo</span>...""<br/><br/>A glance above the infernal horizon and one could see what had interrupted the driver. A helicopter erupted into fire - a sizzling red blaze engulfed the propeller mast as it tumbled into the burning city in a trail of sparkling embers. Luis' gut wrung itself at the very sight; he couldn't bear to imagine the fiery demise of his fellow infantrymen aboard that craft. He wished the comrades aboard that doomed Barracuda a quick and painless death as the helicopter plummeted into the hellscape of a city.<br/><br/>""How did that even happen?""<br/><br/>""Ember got in the intake? I'm not sure if that's even possible.""<br/><br/>""Poor bastards."" Someone mumbled solemnly.<br/><br/>And then another gunship met a violent end. Sparks created by metal striking metal flashed into being briefly amidst the maelstrom of embers as another Spanish aircraft disintegrated in a shower of metal scraps. It was apparent at that moment that the streaking flashes of red light materializing around the fleet of Spanish choppers were not embers at all - but tracers.<br/><br/>A shower of hot red tracers fell through the smoke clouds like infernal rain. As a third and fourth gunship were struck by the torrent of lead and fire, the surviving fleet of Barracudas were joined suddenly by squadron of propeller fighters. Their undersides glowed in the light of the inferno below as they swooped triumphantly down from the night. The soft rumble of Djibouti ablaze was drowned in the roar of a hundred propeller engines as airplane after airplane fell out from the blackness and into ember-laden airspace above the city.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian fighters advanced against the Spanish gunships. With the savagery of wolves loosed against pregnant ewes, the fighters swarmed about the gunships, flanking about the relatively-cumbersome attack helicopters with an ease that caused the Luis and his comrades extreme distress.<br/><br/>""You said we had air superiority! What the fuck is going on, Lieutenant!?""<br/><br/>""Hector!"" Ayesta snapped, throwing his index finger at the turret beside the driver's perch, ""get up on the machine gun and put some lead in the air! Take some pressure off the Barracudas so they can get the fuck out of here!"" Without response, the unseasoned recruit clambered up a ladder of steel rungs into the driver's nest at the stern of the boat.<br/><br/>Luis' heart palpitated as the airborne massacre played out before his eyes. The Barracuda gunships could scarcely back away before the unending swarm of airplanes were upon them, flitting about the helicopters with the grace of swallows and picking them off with short bursts of gunfire. Luis watched as a Barracuda rocked backward to halt itself and turn around, and then spun about hastily to retreat for the sea. Bursts of gunfire from pintle-mounted machine guns pointed out of the fuselage of the choppers amounted to a futile attempt to retaliate against the pursuing fighters;  the Spanish pilots ceded the skies to the swarm of Ethiopian planes as the survivors all beat a hasty retreat toward the Armada ships.<br/><br/>This was not how this war was supposed to be fought. The adversary was to be a technologically-deficient and backwards excuse of a modern nation. <span class=""bb-i"">Africans</span> were not supposed to be able to rout mechanized infantry in gunships. Ethiopia had deviated from the script so carefully written by Prime Minister Sotelo and his generals... or perhaps the stratagems of Spain's military leadership were not so well crafted after all. Perhaps a crafty and judicious African general <span class=""bb-i"">could</span> outfox the might of the Spanish Ejercito. Perhaps Djibouti would be to the Second Republic what Coquilhatville was to Juan III.<br/><br/>""Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..."" Luis whimpered under his breath, cursing with each exhalation as he began to hyperventilate.<br/><br/>""For fuck's sake Hector, shoot something!"" Ayesta demanded. In the turret, the panicked recruit fumbled with a belt of ammunition. His trembling hands failed to insert the lead round into the slot. After several tries, the belt slid into the chamber. With a deft tug on the lever and a quivering finger on the trigger, the landing boat's turret fired off its response to the Ethiopian fighter planes. Their boat was joined by numerous others as the waters beyond Djibouti sparkled with the muzzle flash of dozens of machine gun turrets firing up into the teeming swarm of airplanes.<br/><br/>A brief, bright burst of light flashed momentarily above the coast, followed by a percussive thud that rang out across the water. Several other thuds, followed by a series of flashes that all produced the same dull rumble. Flak shells: the Armada was opening up on the Ethiopian air force. The beams of high-power spotlights from the Spanish warships flickered on one-by-one, and then pointed their beams down across the water at the sky above Djibouti. The bright lights and shells did not seem to deter the Ethiopian pilots - they pressed on across the water, seeming intent on hunting down each gunship and then attacking the Armada itself.<br/><br/>Starting with the landing craft.<br/><br/>A shower of tracers fell about Luis' boat. For each red-glowing tracer, dozens more rounds fell down upon the boat, sparking and ricocheting against the armored hull. Luis cowered and covered the back of his neck with his free hand, too frightened to notice the splotch of wet warmth against his inner thigh.<br/><br/>""I'm hit!"" A fellow infantryman wailed who sounded more surprised than anguished, ""I'm fucking hit!""<br/><br/>""Lower the ramp!"" Lieutenant Ayesta commanded the boat's driver. ""We're swimming the rest of the way!""<br/><br/>Under normal circumstances, the ramp at the front of the landing craft would only be lowered to allow troops out when the boat was beached or in very shallow water. Being strafed by dozens of enemy fighter planes, however, did not fall under the purview of normal circumstances. And so the driver nodded in accord, turning the knob on his console that lowered the ramp. A motorized whirring accompanied the descent of the ramp, giving Luis and his fellow soldiers full view of the hellscape that awaited them beyond some hundred feet of foamy surf. Waves and surf colored red by the glow of the inferno washed against the beach. Everything in sight burned - even the beachside palms were alight, their fronds crackling and throwing clouds of smoke and embers into the wind.<br/><br/>""Everyone off!"" Ayesta bellowed as the ramp crashed into the water in a foamy splash. A string of bullet geysers shot forth from the surf before the boat which ended in the helmets of two of the frontmost soldiers. Their bodies fell limp into the seawater flooding into the floor of the hull, but did little to impede the survivors from rushing out into the waves. The force of the soldiers pushing themselves out the front of the landing craft shoved Luis along with them. In a blur of uniforms and metal hull, the world disappeared with a loud splash.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Djibouti looked like a city on the surface of the sun. Old homes of mudbrick and plaster were swallowed by the flames just as quickly as the newer cement and cinder block constructions, and the air was so hot that it seemed to shift and shimmy across the ground. Dry bushes and solitary palm trees seemed to burn from the sheer heat of the scorched air all around them, and everywhere everything glowed. He could hear the roaring blaze over the sound of his engines, and it only seemed to fade when he let the nose-guns scream.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian pilot watched a gunship burn and dive, losing its shape as it struck the orange-tinted ground. Nearby the crash site a shell exploded, and the flash from its flaming mushroom plume stung his eyes. He shielded his face out of instinct. Would he be night-blinded now?<br/><br/>No. That was ridiculous. There was too much fire for it to matter. He could see it glittering on the fuselages of his colorfully painted comrades. Everything caught the glean of that devilish light. It was dancing on the ocean as well, a mirror image of hell scattered by the waves. The sight of it stopped his breath. <br/><br/>""Holy Mother Mariam"" he muttered, making the sign of the cross over his face with one hand as he piloted with the second. He composed himself and prepared for the descent. <br/><br/>They had came in high, purposely avoiding the super-heated air rising from the city's inferno. That meant that the planes carrying torpedoes had to dip sharply toward the sea in order to deliver their payloads. He gently pushed forward on the stick and felt himself grow lighter. He could see the coast directly in front of him now, where dozens of bristling steel battleships held against the kicking red sea. <br/><br/>Tracers cut a line between him and a diving comrade moving away from him on his right. He watched the white-hot flash of whistling gunfire glisten on that plane's fuselage, where a snarling cheetah reached for a mutilated impala on the craft's nose. <br/><br/>The pilot buzzed over empty landing craft bobbing gloomily in a glowing sea.  Beyond that was his target. Instinct reached into his gut and wrenched it. Now was the time for Torpedoes! <br/><br/>He flipped a switch.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The cacophony of battle was swallowed into a dull gurgle as Luis was wholly enveloped by the sea. He threw his arms and legs about in the dark, turbid water to try and find the bottom. Before long, his boots kicked against something soft yet unyielding. Luis allowed his feet to settle against the underwater sandbed before shoving off with a powerful kick up to the surface. The water was quite shallow even this far out from shore, a little over six feet deep, for Luis had little difficulty clearing the surface. Salty ocean water infiltrated his mouth as he inhaled sharply and stole a glimpse of his surroundings. Most of the landing craft appeared to be making it to shore, although the boat he had bailed from seconds before was now listing forward and sinking quickly into the waves - due to being swamped by the premature disembarking rather than battle damage. A string of bullet geysers frighteningly close to his head sent Luis sinking back to the bottom.<br/><br/>As his head slipped back underneath the waves, the sea around him rang out with the sound of something heavy crashing through the surface. He could not tell where it came from, for underwater it was impossible to determine the source of any sound, but the very volume of the suggested that it was close indeed. It was followed shortly thereafter with a mechanical whir that droned through the inky water. That mechanized whine could be nothing other than a torpedo, one much too close for Luis' liking. The unseasoned recruit threw his arms upward - pushing his body down to the seabed and allowing him to shove off and bounce toward the shore.<br/><br/>His head cleared the surface and Luis opened his eyes once more. The sting of saltwater irritated his eyes as he looked about and stole a breath. The Ethiopian planes were flying overhead low and fast against the firelight, several dropping black, cylindrical tubes into the sea before the landing craft. Luis submerged once again and kicked toward shore.<br/><br/>A flash of light pierced the blackness of the ocean around him, and a terrible sound tore through the water as he shoved upward into the whitecapped waves. Where his landing craft listed in the surf moments before, a smoldering mushroom cloud of fire now rose up amongst the African fighter planes. Much farther out, an orange flash appeared that illuminated the Armada a mile back. There was no time to fear for his countrymen or the mission at hand, the flight-or-fight instinct had utterly seized Luis - and it commanded him to get out of the water.<br/><br/>Four more hops off the seabed placed Luis into water shallow enough to wade through. The waves rolled over his shoulders and face, knocking his back and forth and tugging at the FE-74 strapped loosely to his back. As he waded closer to shore and the seawater fell to chest-height, he found that he was not alone. Some of his comrades had surrendered their heavy guns and bullets to the sea and had swam to shore, and were gathering in the surf. In the midst of the gaggle of survivors of Luis' boat, another Spanish landing craft rumbled through the waves and lodged itself up against the beach. Its ramp fell down into the seafoam, the boots of a platoon of Spanish infantry splashed against the ebbing foam as the soldiers within disembarked. It seemed the Ethiopian counterattack had not proven entirely successful.<br/><br/>An exhausted Luis collapsed onto his hands and knees in ankle-deep water, inhaling and exhaling deeply now that he had made it to shore. His soaked combat uniform clung against his chest as it heaved with every breath. But no sooner than he had stopped to rest, someone's hand firmly gripped his right shoulder and pulled Luis to his feet.<br/><br/>""Is that you Luis? Are you hurt?"" A familiar voice asked. Luis turned about and saw it was Hector's face glowing in the firelight.<br/><br/>""No,"" Luis managed between pants, ""only tired.""<br/><br/>""This is no place to stop for a rest, friend."" Hector continued on, wading toward the burning city. ""Remember what Lieutenant Ayesta told us: find cover.""<br/><br/>Without comment, Luis trudged through the final few yards of surf and followed Hector begrudgingly toward the inferno.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Before the pilot prepared for another dive at the panicking Spanish navy, he reached an angle that gave him a commanding view of the battle at sea. Against a night sky filled with the demon dance of red and orange, the Ethiopian planes swarmed. They looked like gulls at a food-littered beach, and the sound of so many planes screaming as they dove or sputtering in a climb sounded like the dissonant music of hell. Hundreds of them shared the sky, diving and spraying their stationary targets. The Spaniards fought back, fiery flashes of returned fire erupting from dozens of intimidating steel vessels. Tracers filled the sky, as did searching white pillars from the spotlights on the decks of the ships. The sky was now cast in a muddy brown with streaks of pale, rusty clouds. Where light fell, florets of black smoke hung still in the air. <br/><br/>He dove.<br/><br/>His engine screamed as he aimed the craft at a ship below. His muscles tensed. He could feel the blood in his body shifting as the gravity went to his head. He lined himself up with the big guns, hoping to do some damage before he corrected his path. The trigger pulled, and gunfire jostled his soul.<br/><br/>He felt his plane jolt, accustomed with the shrill sound of screeching metal. He pulled up immediately, showing his belly to the ship below. In front of him, a comrade was shot out of the sky. He watched the other plane as it was consumed by a ball of sparks before spiraling into an orange sea. <br/><br/>The pilot's blood was boiling now. This was what it felt like to be a warrior. A couple of enemy vessels were listing, caught in vital places by the Ethiopian torpedoes. A fuselage illustrated with a twisting tribal warrior passed by his window so near that he was afraid he would hit it and the craft it belonged to. <br/><br/>He dove again, and saw an enemy aircraft carrier towering above the waves. The planes on its deck were burning. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>During the initial barrage, one of Ras Hassan's artillery shells had overshot the city and landed ineffectively on the beach, managing to only ignite a copse of palm trees lining the waterfront street. Within the lip of the blackened crater that shell had created, Luis and Hector found a platoon of fellow infantry. A two man machine gun team lay at the forward edge of the crater, flanked by three other soldiers armed with standard issue FE-74s, all of whom aimed anxiously into the city that burned just across the beachfront road. Others busied themselves checking over their gear loadout and supplies, or kicking sand onto resilient tongues of flame burning out of the beach. Others still looked into the sky, watching helplessly as Ethiopian fighters swooped by over the inferno. Hector and Luis jogged over and slid down into the char-lined pit. The two drenched recruits elicited curious glances, but it was only their commander who offered any verbal response to their arrival.<br/><br/>""Identify yourselves,"" the unit's lieutenant demanded sternly.<br/><br/>""Hector Allega,"" Hector spoke up for Luis, gesturing to himself, ""and Luis Morazon. From Lieutenant Ayesta's unit.""<br/><br/>""Where's the rest of your platoon, <span class=""bb-i"">Cabo</span> Allega?""<br/><br/>""I don't know, Lieutenant."" Hector offered after exchanging a confused glance with Luis. ""Our boat went down, I don't know where the rest of us are.""<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Jesucristo</span>."" The lieutenant snarled, turning about to face his orderlies.<br/><br/>""Gentlemen, as you can see, this invasion has become an unmitigated clusterfuck before our very eyes. If this were the <span class=""bb-i"">Armee Francais</span> or even the <span class=""bb-i"">Preuissiche Wehr</span>, this would be just about the appropriate time we raise a white flag and turn tail back home. But, unfortunately for us, we enlisted in the Ejercito Español. We comprise the finest fighting force in all the world, and as such, neither cowardice nor failure are tolerated.""<br/><br/>""We have not been dealt a fair hand. Our leaders have demonstrated extreme incompetence in preparing an invasion against an enemy that they have grossly underestimated."" At this moment, a passing fighter began a strafing pass on the beach. The soldiers within the crater collapsed to the ground and waited for the roar of the plane's engine to pass overhead. A dozen or so rounds impacted into the sand around the crater, crashing safely against the berm of impact-thrown sand that formed the crater's lip. Cautiously, the Spaniards returned to their feet.<br/><br/>""We're going to adapt and overcome in spite of these highly adverse conditions. As we can see, advancing south across the coast around the city isn't an option - until the Armada gets its shit together and gets some planes in the air, moving across open ground like that will be a deathmarch. So we're going to go <span class=""bb-i"">through</span> the city and emerge on the other side to engage the Ethiopian positions inland.""<br/><br/>Luis looked over the Lieutenant's should and saw Djibouti's skyline roiling in flames. Did this madman not realize that the city was <span class=""bb-i"">on fire</span>? Not just burning - completely ablaze. And just how did he plan to get through this wall of burning rubble - form bucket brigades running from the sea through the city? A glance around to his companions - all wide eyed and fixed upon the infernal city before them - demonstrated that he was not alone in his sentiments.<br/><br/>A pair of planes roared past through the smoke clouds rising above them, prompting the Spaniards to duck down into the charred sand once again. As the drone of the propellers passed into the distance, the Lieutenant bolted to his feet. ""Now's our chance! Move!"" <br/><br/>At once, Luis, Hector and the others rose to their feet and clambered up the walls of the crater and back onto level sand. Blackened dunegrass crunched underfoot as the Spaniards charged across the last remaining stretch of open ground to the waterfront district of the doomed city. Even at this distance, the heat put out by the blazes was sweltering, and Luis turned his head back to avert his eyes from the uncomfortably warm air. He could see the battle raging at sea, where the Armada did battle with a locust swarm of Ethiopian planes. There, across the black sea, a second conflagration seemed to have emerged - a horizon of fire illuminating the Spanish warships. It was the flagship: <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira de Dios</span> was ablaze. Even at this distance, burning masses could be seen falling into the ocean. The flagship of the invasion was doomed to suffer the same fate as the <span class=""bb-i"">Vanguardia</span> nearly a decade before.<br/><br/>Thoroughly distraught, Luis reverted his attention to the task at hand: escaping Djibouti.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The Spanish Navy had taken their licks. Fire consumed proud iron fortresses, forcing their crews out of the battle so they could fight to salvage their vessels. The Ethiopian Pilot could see them frantically running across the decks. He wanted to sweep down and strafe them, to watch them dive away or die, but he held himself back. They were no longer a threat, and he had limited ammunition. He passed over them instead.<br/><br/>The ocean itself was a wreck. Where the water didn't reflect fire, it was as black as tar. Debris tangled with corpses floated near the ships. There were places where petroleum skimmed the surface on the water, and in those places the sea itself was burning. <br/><br/>The order went out over the radio that the Spaniards had taken the beach. That was no surprise. The Ethiopian military was entrenched in the hills outside of the city, unable to repulse the enemy beach-head. The inferno that swallowed Djibouti made it impractical to defend. There were no building left untouched by the blaze, leaving no hiding places for defenders. As he turned around to face the city again, the pilot realized another problem that made a ground defense impractical. It would be so hot down there that the air itself would be dangerous. Smoke would make it difficult to breath, and the temperature would be infernal. <br/><br/>Over the radio, a captain rattled off the location of the Spanish landings in a voice that was cool and professional. The pilot didn't need that information, he could see it for himself in places where landing craft had managed to beach. They were in clusters, far enough from the city to be safe but in a precarious place none the less. They were out in the open, stuck between an unwelcoming sea and a city that threatened to cook them in their clothes. And there were no places to hide on the beach.<br/><br/>A flash of flame erupted quite suddenly from the sand near the water, followed by a second. That was artillery. <span class=""bb-i"">Ethiopian</span> artillery. They were shelling the Spanish beachhead now.<br/><br/>The pilot dove toward the enemy. Flecks of ash settled on the canopy of glass that surrounded him, speckling the action with grey smears. He saw where men were moving on the beach, and he opened fire. Geysers of sand spouted around them. Some men ran while others fell to the ground. Whether those who fell were wounded or had simply fallen to shrink their profile was hard to tell. He pulled up and straightened his plane.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Warbling klaxons rang dissonantly throughout the steel bulkheads of the aircraft carrier, rallying all hands aboard <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira de Dios</span> to action as they had the past hour and a half. Thunderous bangs and the roar of Ethiopian propellers from outside the warship contributed to the discordant music of battle. And from the stairwells, the pitter-patter of a score of deckhands racing down the steeply graded stairs provided the percussion.<br/><br/>They negotiated the carrier's stairwells as quickly as could be done without falling down. Shipmates, ensigns, and officers all came down the stairs and charged through the corridors toward the access to the flight deck. Armed not with firearms, but fire <span class=""bb-i"">extinguishers</span>, theirs was a last ditch effort to salvage the Invasion of Ethiopia. A haphazardly-organized fire brigade, with officers and enlisted shipmates alike cobbled together to restore their carrier's runway<br/><br/>Near the main doors to the flight deck, Admiral Santiago Santin cradled in his arms three more fire extinguishers he had raided from the corridor walls. His pressed admiral's jacket had been cast aside in the control tower, leaving his white button-up undershirt rolled up to his elbows; now was hardly the time to ensure one was observing proper dress.<br/><br/>""Take these."" the Admiral commanded as the makeshift fire brigade reunited with him. Greedy hands immediately snatched two of the red cylinders from his arms as his comrades ran past. Santin followed behind the stragglers with his own extinguisher as they charged out at once onto the carrier's tarmac platform.<br/><br/>The fire brigade was met with towering plumes of fire belching acrid smoke and embers into the night. At the heart of each of these blazes, a blackened Halcon fighter plane roasted, sizzling and popping on the tarmac deck. The Spaniards wasted no time in combating the fires, spreading across the deck and assaulting the burning. crumpled aircraft. A trio of forklift trucks were started and driven up to the nearest Halcones.<br/><br/>The Ethiopians had made a terrific mess of Spain's flagship, a mess Santin had every intention of remedying in spite of the danger. Earlier in his career, he had seen the <span class=""bb-i"">Vanguardia</span> lost; and he had no intention of allowing <span class=""bb-i"">La Ira</span> suffer the same fate. <br/><br/>""This one first!"" Santin ordered, beckoning one of the forklift drivers over to a wrecked aircraft nearest the elevator that hoisted aircraft from a belowdeck hangar up to the flight deck; this area was the most critical part of the deck to be cleared. A tug of the safety pin and the Admiral fired off a puff of white foam into the heart of the blaze. The fire retreated with angry hisses from the blasts of frothy retardant, exposing a segment of charred metal to the air. There, Santin directed the driver's forks to be skewered into the warped fuselage of the fighter, who then lifted the mast up a foot off the surface.<br/><br/>""Now dump it over, quickly!""<br/><br/>They escorted the forklift under threat of gunfire as it moved forward with the mass of ardent scrap threatening to spread to the truck and set it ablaze. Santin and a few of his cohorts shot the burning Halcon with their extinguishers sporadically - aiming to contain the fire for a few more seconds. The burning plane was shoved, scraping and screeching against the flight deck the entire way, to the edge of the tarmac, beneath which choppy water crashed against the vessel's plowed hull some fifty feet below. On the precipice of the carrier, the forklift truck braked to halt, allowing the momentum of the burning plane to send it tumbling down off the deck. With the groan of strained metal and a fiery swoosh, the plane fell into the ocean - the fire that enveloped it immediately being quenched in a cloud of steam.<br/><br/>The swarm of fighters over the Armada had shifted away in the previous minutes, directing their ire to the forces landing on the African shores instead. While that development made for a severe complication in the landing efforts, it had provided the Admiral enough of a lull to clear the runway just enough. With the fire no longer roaring in his ears, he could hear the plane elevator winching up under his feet. Little time remained.<br/><br/>""Get these off as well!"" Santin commanded, gesturing to a fighter that had been cut in twain by a well-placed string of bullets. ""We cannot have that plane waiting to take off for one <span class=""bb-i"">second</span>! Move it!""<br/><br/>An African fighter swooped over the carrier's runway, loosing a volley of bullets on one of the forklifts as it wheeled over to the wrecked plane nearest Admiral Santin. The truck's windshield spider-webbed as two rounds pieced the cab and rendered the driver lifeless. Santin grimaced; bastard communists'd pay for that shortly.<br/><br/>As the larger chunk of that smoldering Halcon was plunged into the sea, the plane elevator behind him had reached the flight deck. One plane sat upon that platform hanging precariously over the sea: the Fantasma jet fighter. It had been placed in the hangar deck as an investigation concerning its dogfight over the Gulf of Aden was conducted. Stowed safely below decks, it had been spared the onslaught wrought by the African planes. But now it's sleek, predatory outline glimmered in the flashes and fires of battle, her belly was full of jet fuel and laden with belts of ammunition.<br/><br/>""We're out of time!"" Santin declared, gesticulating to his orderlies to clear the runway. ""Get out of the way!""<br/><br/>A cone of yellow fire erupted from the Fantasma's thruster, jerking the plane forward but only until the gear brakes caught, holding the fighter fast against the pavement. Although Santin and his compatriots had cleared some wreckages from the deck, the far end of the carrier's runway was still littered with burning fighterrs; the Fantasma's pilot would have to make due with the clear runway, taking off <span class=""bb-i"">diagonally</span>.<br/><br/>Within seconds, the Fantasma's jet engine had built up sufficient thrust. Its pilot cut the gear brakes, allowing the Fantasma to rocket past Santin and his deckhands; the scream of the jet engine left the ring of tinnitus in the ears of the Spaniards. As the jet shot off the edge of the runway, it fell down beneath Santin's field of sight. A harrowing several seconds passed, and for a moment the Spanish Admiral feared that the jet was lost - it's take-off just slightly too ambitious.<br/><br/>But the Fantasma rose upward, the white-hot glow of its thruster pod shining against the blackness of the ocean shot triumphantly skyward before disappearing into the flak-strewn night. A pair of Ethiopian fighters attempted to pursue the Fantasma as it banked away, but were immediately separated by a great gulf of night as the jet rocketed away.<br/><br/>A smirk crawled across Admiral Santin's mouth as he witnessed the Fantasma escape into the dark. The superior technology of the Spaniards would turn this debacle around. Ethiopia would be reminded why resisting Europe was folly.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>When it came, it was like watching an eagle snatch a lesser bird from the sky. But what was it? The Ethiopian pilot could not tell. <br/><br/>The Spanish aircraft - it was an aircraft, he knew that much for no other reason but because it was in the air - shot an African plane out of the sky and disappeared like a comet into the towering smoke that overcame Djibouti. The pilot watched in heart-wrenching dismay as his countryman helplessly rode his dead craft, a fuming ruin with a laughing hyena on it's side, into the oily sea. That man had certainly drowned.<br/><br/>The eyes of the Africans were all in the sky. The smog-choked night was a bigger place now that it was hiding a weapon so unbelievable that the Pilot's heart told him it was a monster. There were rare stars in the smokey vale surrounding Djibouti, and when they twinkled behind the ashes, they caught the sudden attention of panicked eyes. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""//Where did it go//?""</span> A shaky voice inquired over radio static.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""//Keep your eyes alert.//""</span> an officer replied. <span class=""bb-i"">""//And shoot anything that moves.//""</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">We are in the wild now.</span> The Ethiopian pilot thought. <span class=""bb-i"">We were the lions, but now we are the gazelle.</span><br/><br/>The Spanish craft swooped in a second time, somewhere from behind them. As soon as it was spotted, it opened fire on its new target, another one of the pilot's comrades, and blew a hole so hot in that plane's engine that the explosion made him momentarily lose sight of Djibouti.<br/><br/>This time, however, they were ready. As the Spaniards= rushed past them, the Ethiopian birds veered to chase and opened fire. The burning arcs of their enfilades crossed each other in confused needles of sky-fire.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""//Fuel tanks are getting low.//""</span> a shaken voice announced.<br/><br/>Vengeance, hatred, and fear all boiled in the heart of the pilot. He chose that moment to open the channel and reply. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""//This is not the time to forget we are men, with all the body parts that remind us of our manhood.//""</span> he said. <span class=""bb-i"">""//We will get this one, and we will go home, and we will never have reason to doubt ourselves if we ever grow old.//</span><br/><br/>That settled the issue. Hundreds of African warbirds fixed their designs on a single aircraft.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>They had cut into the mouth of a drainage canal running through the city, inside of which a trickle of garbage-riddled water wound in a snaking ribbon of filth before emptying out into the sea. There was little that could burn at the bottom of this ditch, and as such it was the safest means of passage through the heart of the city. Luis, Hector, and their adopted platoon marched through the muddy sand that reeked of festering sewage. The smell did not seem to bother any of the soldiers - they were all grateful that the air at the bottom of the channel was not choked with smoke and that they could breath.<br/><br/>They carried their weapons loosely as they trudged forward. Over the concrete retaining berm, the Spaniards gawked upon the conflagration that surrounded them. Every single building - regardless of its original purpose or construction - was ablaze. The tires of the cars burned to the asphalt they sat upon, buildings spewed torrents of fire from their windows and doorframes. In this apocalyptic state, there could be no enemy presence in Djibouti - no danger of encountering an ambush nor fear of snipers in the minarets. Luis, Hector, and their compatriots entered the damned city with impunity, as if they were tourists rather than invaders.<br/><br/>The howl of shells arcing high above pierced the roar of a million bonfires burning as one. Of the louder, sharper whistles, Luis cringed and ducked down in instinct the same way one might at the crack of a particularly loud clap of thunder. The loud explosion of an artillery shell impacting the earth at the speed of sound was never registered - only the dull bang of explosions rumbling in the distance behind them. It seemed that the Ethiopians were shelling the beach now with the landings intensifying.<br/><br/>""Take it easy, <span class=""bb-i"">cabron</span>."" One of the machine gunners teasingly punched Luis in the shoulder. ""If you can hear 'em, you're safe. Ever hear those Great War veterans talk about being shelled? They say you never hear the shell that actually kills you.""<br/><br/>Luis' grandfather had fought with the French during the greatest war in history, but he had never recounted his experiences. When he was younger, a curious Luis once asked to hear what it had been like fighting off the German army. He expected to hear stories of high adventure and bravery, holding the line at the Fourth Battle of the Marne or the daring Stuttgart Salient. Luis' grandfather offered no such stories; he remembered his veteran grandfather glanced down at the scaly stump where his left elbow should have been and declared had nothing to recount.<br/><br/>""Bull-shit,"" contested the soldier carrying belts of machine gun ammunition draped across his shoulders. ""Of course you're gonna hear a shell that's about to kill you.""<br/><br/>""No you <span class=""bb-i"">won't</span>. The shells are moving faster than sound even. If an artillery shell is moving toward you faster than the sound it makes, then you won't hear it until it blows you up.""<br/><br/>Luis found that to be a decidedly uncomfortable thought: that at any moment, he could die without any warning. He would rather have some notification that the end of his life had arrived. Just enough time to utter a plea to God for forgiveness was all he wanted. But it seemed even <span class=""bb-i"">that</span> was a luxury that a soldier could not be guaranteed.<br/><br/>The drone of an engine screamed out of the smog-choked sky, signalling the presence of an Ethiopian airplane swooping out of the night. The platoon's commander pressed himself against the canal's retaining wall, prompting his orderlies to do the same. The chatter of machine guns firing sounded over the roar of the inferno, causing the Spaniards to flinch and duck under the wall to avoid another Ethiopian strafing pass. Rounds could be heard tearing through the air above, smashing into the plaster facade of a burning repair garage on the other side of the ditch. Sure enough, the propeller-driven Ethiopian fighter flashed by overhead. But it too was on fire - Luis saw a billowing contrail of flame rolling over the fuselage from the propellers. That plane did not swoop up out of the way of the horizon of flame as the other African planes had before - it careened into the infernal city and plunged into the ruins with a meaty crash.<br/><br/>A scream shot through the night, tearing the collective attention of the Spanish infantry from the crashed fighter back into the sky. A blur of light raced across the sky, following the embery contrail of the downed airplane before zipping back into the night. A cone of glowing exhaust followed the object as it rocketed back into the sky. The whistling howl resounded over the burning city as this object's exhaust shot into the city, fanning the fires below and ejecting embers as the downdraft splashed against the burning city beneath. Luis had heard that sound before, when he left Malta to rendezvous with the Armada: the propellerless aircraft that flew faster than anything he had ever seen.<br/><br/>The smoky haze blanketing the sky over Djibouti boiled as a hundred planes followed that ghost out of the night. More planes than Luis could count tore the smog layer apart with their propellers and chased after it as a single swarm. A buzzing swarm of African hornets chased this one aircraft over the city, unleashing thousands of glowing tracer rounds after it. Portions of this rain of lead fell all around Luis and his compatriots, forcing them back down against the berm and sloppy mud. Above their heads, the combined might of Ethiopia's airforce roared past overhead, in such numbers and volume that the Spaniards had to cover their ears. Their fuselages were adorned with lions and elephants and martial tribal paint schemes, in the way that Zulu warriors might have painted their shields and assegai while fending off the British and the Boers a century before.<br/><br/>As the last planes thrummed back into the night, the platoon's lieutenant came upright to his feet, beckoning for the others to do the same. Once upright, Luis noted the myriad bullet craters that pocked everything around the drainage canal.<br/><br/>""We were damn lucky to have good cover just then, we may not be so fortunate when they return. Look sharp, <span class=""bb-i"">soldados</span>; let's move.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>It was the momentary silences in between attacks, when there was nothing to do but keep formation and wonder who would die next, that tore the most at the morale of the Ethiopian airmen. They formed into several V's flying near to one another so that the moment the supernatural enemy aircraft took another victim, they could turn on it and spray return fire until it disappeared at high speed into the smoky night.<br/><br/>There was something about their formation that reminded the pilot of traditional warfare. This was a battle-line in the air, trudging forward in tight lock-step so they could throw a united volley at their enemy. It was Napoleonic, a military machine made from hundreds of individuals acting as one, but what they faced was a single craft fighting wielding all the wrath of god against the African columns. They knew when that wrath struck, as it came in the form of sudden violence. There would be a scream of bullets, confusion, and then death. When the enemy came, everyone knew their place in the fight. But so long as that enemy was gone, all there was to do was stare anxiously at the sky all around them. <br/><br/>It came again, shrieking violence and fire, but there was no time for panic. When he heard the attack, the pilot knew he was not the victim this time, and he went quickly to identifying the enemy. It shot past them at brain-scrambling speed. Hundreds of Ethiopian planes opened fire at once, filling the sky with tracers, but there was only a second's worth of time before the enemy was out of range, and he always seemed to get away unscathed.<br/><br/>//<span class=""bb-i"">""C Squad is returning to refuel.""</span>// a voice announced over the radio. It was a confirmation of something the pilot already knew. They chose to use the moment they located the enemy as a time to send some squads back to Harar. They could be useful in the fight, but it would be a disaster for the majority of the Ethiopian airforce to crash land their planes in the desert just because they had no fuel. <br/><br/>The Enemy came again. The Ethiopian pilot looked desperate, but he only saw the enemy when it was too late to fire. He cursed his impotence, and watched a friend spiral into the drink, where flame-kissed waves swallowed him.<br/><br/>On the beach below, the Spaniards were landing the hardware of war to join the battle alongside their infantry. There were armored cars, and tanks, and rigs of every size. They were forced to dodge the fiery blossoms of Ethiopian artillery. With only a handful of light artillery batteries to back them, however, the Ethiopian barrage did not have a strong suppressive effect on the Spanish operation. <br/><br/>The Enemy aircraft came again. This time he saw the bloom of fire where an Ethiopian plane was blown out of the air, and he spotted the attacker quick enough to take a few shot at it before it left.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""I have seen the enemy!""//</span> an excited voice shouted over the radio. <span class=""bb-i"">//""He has cat eyes! Big green cat eyes!""//</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""He would need such eyes.""//</span> another voice replied. <span class=""bb-i"">//""To move so fast in this dark.""//</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""What dark do you see? Djibouti is like a lamp tonight.""//</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""He does not face the city to attack us.""//</span> <br/><br/>The conversation made the pilot wonder, what other things could the Spanish do? If they had ways to see in the dark, and to move an attack craft at such speeds, what other horrible things would this war witness.<br/><br/>When the enemy came this time, he left his victim in the air with a stalled engine. At first, in the moment that followed the return volley, the pilot could not see that anybody had been hit. That was until another voice came over the radio.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""Brothers, I am dead!""//</span> it shouted in a pitch that was half panic and half euphoric. The Pilot saw the damaged plane gliding fast toward the beach, its fuselage painted with the image of two ink-black women wrestling naked in a desert. It was going down too fast for a safe landing, and the beach it was heading for teemed with Spanish soldiers.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""Brothers, I know what to do.""//</span> he shouted frantically. Did he still have some sort of control in the craft? The Pilot watched in amazement, wandering if his comrade was going to find a way to survive.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""Brothers, behold!""//</span> The voice shrieked. The Pilot watched, somber at first, and then filled with glorious excitement as he understood what he was watching. The damaged plane glided at full speed, skimming just above the sand of the beach until it smashed into the broadside of a Spanish tank. The fireball took them both and turned them into blackened ruble.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""Steel was no match to that man's fuel.""//</span> a reverent voice came across the radio.<br/><br/>The heroic death of their self-avenged comrade renewed their vigor. They had circled the city, and with the beach now falling behind them, they faced out toward a churning sea. The ships that still floated were putting out their fires and regrouping their sailors so that they could be ready for another fight, but not all of the ships could be salvaged. There were some who's hulls had sunk beneath the water, only blackened guns and rising command and communication towers sticking above the waves. Debris filled the sea, now thick with oil, and the last straggling landing boats struggled to avoid collisions with twisted metal bobbing in the water like apocalyptic sea-mines. <br/><br/>The plane at the pilot's right burst into flame, and a familiar shriek filled the air. The Pilot was ready. His was the first stream of fire to announce the volley. The pilot held his stick with sweaty palms, his grip so intense that he felt his skin numb. The silver blip of the enemy aircraft did not disappear as quick as it normally did. This time, it seemed to flicker and fade.<br/><br/>And then it reappeared, seemingly closer. A veil of black smoke seemed to obscure it, and as the pilot flew into that cloud he realized something that others already knew but were keeping silent about. Their bullets had found their target, and the enemy plane was moving slowly now. <br/><br/>The Pilot took to the radio. <span class=""bb-i"">//""I am directly behind the target. I will take it out.""//</span> This was no moment for the entire formation to converge on one single point. They had acted as a single machine for the duration of this fight, and they would end it the same way.<br/><br/>As he approached, he saw where smoke erupted from the damaged engine of a streamlined aircraft that looked like something out of a pulp space magazine. How did this engine even work? He felt uncertain about taking it out, not knowing if there were any other tricks to this craft. The one thing he did completely understand was a bubble cockpit, where the enemy pilot would be fidgeting with the controls trying to correct what he could to regain confidence in his ability to pilot. The Ethiopian would not give him the opportunity. He climbed so that he could drop, and in his descent he leveled his guns to the enemy's cockpit. <br/><br/>And then he opened fire.<br/><br/>His guns caused his body to shake. What was seconds felt like minutes, and the stream of fire became so heavy that his guns overheated and jammed. It did not matter. His work was done. <br/><br/>When he came near enough to the Spanish plane, he saw that the cockpit was cracked and entirely wet with blood, like a ripe berry on a smoking silver ruin. The enemy aircraft fell silently into the sea and disappeared.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">//""The ferengi has died!""//</span> the pilot shouted excited over the radio. <span class=""bb-i"">//""Let us go home!""//</span><br/><br/> --<br/><br/>Hassan watched the sky whirl with the afterglow of fire. It was like looking at sunlight playing across the ripples of a lake; it would reach out and leap across the stars, and then it would recede, only to leap again. The after-effects of the conflagration reached the artillery batteries in the desert, where the air smelled like smoke and ashes covered everything in a fine layer of dust. He considered how the ashes were from things he had seen before. This was the dust of the French colonial buildings built in Indian style, and the thatching of mud huts. It was also the twenty thousand civilians that had been in the way when the shells fell, and the Spaniards who had advanced to their doom.<br/><br/>The artillery still blazed, though not as frequently as they once had. The crews had began to sleep in shifts so that they would have some rest before the next day. Hassan did not know how the Spaniards would react, and there were still gaps in his knowledge of their capabilities. He had not seen evidence of a counter-attack yet, and the reports that had been sent to him from the front by messengers on motorcycles did not suggest that they would be tried in a big way before morning came.<br/><br/>The Artillery officer had paced through the camp for most of the bombardment. He was aware of something that most of the soldiers did not know; that the evacuation had been ineffective, and that the Ethiopians had fired on their own people. Hassan was more worried what the Spanish would do with that information, but what could they do? Had they not came here to murder Africans themselves? The average European was a hateful fucker as far as Hassan could tell. They could not possibly care.<br/><br/>Hassan considered putting the officer to bed. Perhaps that would be best. His pacing, after all, was nerve wracking for anybody who could see it. Hassan watched the officer scornfully. He considered the man. A coward? Perhaps not. He was one of those types of men who's nobility had never matured. He still saw the romantic virgin warriors of christian mythology as an ideal to be admired. Such a thing was ridiculous in real warfare. In a real war, blood wins over valor every time. <br/><br/>A whisper among the servicemen turned Hassan's attention. Before he could ask what was happening, he heard the sound. It was an approaching buzz high up in the air. It was aircraft.<br/><br/>This had not been the first to return over their heads. Ethiopian planes flying back home for fuel. But this last group, it was large. Dozens on black-shadow V's against a dull-red sky. They had done their part, and they would have more parts to play before this war was finished.<br/><br/>As he watched the planes pass directly over him on their solemn return, the flashing light of a single headlight caught the bottom of his eye. A motorcycle. He watched the bright glow of the headlight bob and hop across the desert as it grew bigger and brighter. When the sputtering sound of a struggling engine began to accompany the light, Hassan walked forward and climbed on the ramparts.<br/><br/>The motorcycle stopped and the light went dead. Hassan was blinded for a moment, and the rider seemed to be a vague silhouette camouflaged against the ground, slowing improving until he became a tiny man with bug-eyed riding goggles.<br/><br/>""Ras Hassan."" he bowed. ""I have been sent to give you three apologies from my commander.""<br/><br/>""Apologies?"" Hassan felt his throat tingle. Apologies for what?<br/><br/>""Yes."" the rider continued. ""He cannot send counter-attacks as he was ordered. The fire..."" the rider looked back at where the sky danced. ""It's too hot, Ras. Djibouti is gone, its just fire now. It would cause more casualties than an attack would be worth.""<br/><br/>""Right, right."" Hassan assured. ""I ordered him to assault the Spanish forces if possible. He had judged it is not possible, and I am inclined to agree. Tell me though, what of the Spanish?""<br/><br/>The rider grinned. ""Their navy is burning, Ras. I do not think that they will take us lightly after tonight. I feel good about this war.""<br/><br/>""Good!"" Hassan shouted, loudly so he could be heard by all around. He chuckled and jumped down from the ramparts and faced the men. ""Brothers, I have been told the news. Spain burns!""<br/><br/>The men cheered manly cheers.<br/><br/>""The planes we just saw fly above us killed the enemy and lived to return! We've had a good night tonight, brothers! We will quiet the guns for now, you all need sleep so we can kill more Spaniards in the morning!""<br/><br/>The men cheered again, and they were louder this time. Hassan walked away from them smiling and approached the nervous artillery officer.<br/><br/>""I need you to deliver a message."" Hassan asked. ""Can you do that?""<br/><br/>""A message?"" the officer looked confused. ""That man is a messenger. I am not a messenger.""<br/><br/>""No, I know this, but the man I want to get a message to might consider it an insult if I send anybody less than an officer. I am here in the trenches, I can command your men for now.""<br/><br/>""Man? what man is this?""<br/><br/>""Do you know Ras Goliad?""<br/><br/>""The governor of Harar?"" the officer nodded slowly. ""I have heard the name. What do you want me to tell him?""<br/><br/>""Tell him to raise some men. He has the local legion, but tell him to bring together the village chiefs and the shiftas. I want him to drill them and get them ready for a real fight.""<br/><br/>""Are we retreating to Harar?"" the officer asked. ""After a victory?""<br/><br/>""Not yet, but we can not hold these hills for long, and now that Djibouti is gone there is nothing of value for us here. We will fight as much as we need to, but only so that we can build up our defenses in the highlands. When it comes time, I want to have Goliad with us."" <br/><br/>""I will do this."" the officer nodded. ""Let me get ready for the trip.""<br/><br/>As the officer walked away, Hassan turned his attention to the west. For hundreds of miles stretched the Danakil, and he had no intention of fighting a protracted war there. The desert was too open, and there was nothing to hold on to. It was a place where water was the most strategic resource, where white sand-scapes and rocky martian dunes divided him and the Seventh Sefari from the protection of the Ethiopian highlands. In this open expanse, hardware would count for everything, and Hassan knew that the Spanish were well ahead of them when it came to hardware.<br/><br/>But he remembered a story about the tanks under Kwanza's command during the Battle of Lubumbashi. Bemba tribals, men who had never seen a tank before, snuck up behind three tanks and took them out of the battle. That had been a strange story for a strange war, but he wondered if there was some wisdom in it. How would the Spanish hardware hold up when everything that surrounded them was hostile?</div>"
22149,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-07-10 15:09:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Selmer, Tennessee<br/>8:24 PM</span><br/><br/>“The events of the last month are just the latest in a long line of events that are all too familiar to us.”<br/><br/>Isaiah Wolde, the man more and more people simply called the Ethiopian, stood in the pulpit of the local AME church. A sea of black, sweating faces looked out at him as he spoke. The church was filled to capacity and then some. The vestibule door opened up and countless more people listened from outside. The mass of people crowded together in this little church on this hot summer night turned the interior temperature from hot to nigh unbearable. But for all of that, Wolde did not seem phased by the heat save for a few drops of sweat near his hairline. <br/>Wolde’s speaking tour through Tennessee and North Carolina. The demonstrations and protests in Mississippi had been violent and bloody, but they’d gotten the attention of the country. White journalist covered the marches with aplomb, filling papers and radio programs and the evening news with updates on the brutal violence going on down in the heart of Dixie.<br/><br/>Just thinking about that made James Calhoun’s jaw hurt. He touched it on reflex. The wire was gone, but the memory was fresh. A white cop in his own hometown broke it when the man laid hands on his daughter. When it came to Sarah, James did not care about repercussions if someone touched her in a harmful way. That act of violence put him in Wolde’s circle of trusted advisors… but it also put him on some bad people’s radars.<br/><br/>“My adopted homeland of Ethiopia is the latest target of imperialist aggression,” Wolde said to a chorus of nods and amens from the crowd. “It’s a story as old as time. White aggressors invade Africa, looking for spoils. Spain says Ethiopia has become a threat because of communism. An ism is behind their fighting, but it is not communism. Racism is their motivating factor, my brothers and sister. The white man cannot stand the fact that a nation of proud, black men and women are among the world’s best. Long ago Africa was a land ruled by black kings and queens, a land of art and beauty before the European bootheel kicked our ancestors into the squalor and wrapped them in chains. An Italian ‘discovered’ America for Spain. The problem was, there were already people living here. The problem was, nobody asked those people if they wanted to be discovered. Like nobody asked our people if they wanted to come to America. The power, money, and culture coming from Africa became a problem for Spain. White Europeans saw a problem and they are solving it the only way they know how: violently.”<br/><br/>Wolde took a break and sipped a glass of water. The crowd broke out into applause. James scanned the assembly and stopped cold at the sight near the back. A white, middle-aged woman with dark red hair stared straight at him. James felt his stomach go cold. He turned away from her and wiped sweat from his face as he looked back at Wolde. Jessica Hyatt, FCB agent shadowing the Wolde camp. She was more than that to James. She held James and Sarah’s fate in her hands. If he pissed her off, they would both go to a Mississippi work farm and spend years on a chain gang. James could handle it, but he doubted Sarah could. She was so young and so hopeful and so beautiful. Hard time would crush her, so he cut a deal. Wolde knew the FCB was following him on the tour and that they were probably tapping his phone lines, but he had no idea a member of his inner circle was an FCB informant.<br/><br/>“Like our brothers and sisters in Africa, we find ourselves in a struggle. Ours is not one of life or death, but it is just as important. While they fight for survival, they fight for equality. While they fight Spain, we fight Jim Crow. While their cities burn, our people are drug into the streets and beaten. Their enemy is a foreign invader. Our enemies are the people sworn to protect our citizens and uphold our laws. Our struggles and their struggles are very different, but very much the same. What the white man fears it hates and oppresses. We are linked by a common oppressive enemy that seeks to destroy what it cannot control. This is why our upcoming march on Nashville will be both a protest for our rights, and a show of support for our brothers and sisters in Ethiopia. Our cause is their cause, their fight is our fight, and we must show the white people of this country that fact.”<br/><br/> <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Washington DC <br/>11:35 PM</span><br/><br/>A secret service agent quietly led Secretary of State Lillian Mather into the Oval Office through a side entrance. President Norman was already waiting for her on the couch in front of the desk. The Secretary of State was taken aback by two things she noticed right away. The first was the president’s attire. He wore a pair of khaki slacks and a white button-down short sleeve shirt tucked into his pants. Despite knowing Michael Norman for over twenty years, she had never seen the president in casual clothes. He was either in military dress or a suit and tie. In his new outfit, he looked less like a war hero and commander-in-chief and more like a mid-level office worker.<br/><br/>The second thing that caught her off guard was that they were alone. She knew the president had a select group of people he spoke to alone. Lillian was not among those people. Every meeting with the president so far had involved at least three or four other high-level officials and bureaucrats. She didn’t see White House Chief of Staff Jeff Brewer chainsmoking butts near an open window. Vice President Reed wasn’t skulking in a darkened corner like a southern gothic vampire. For the first time since he asked her to serve as Secretary of State, Lillian was alone with the president.<br/><br/>Norman stood and offered her his hand. “I know it’s late, Lillian. I’m sorry about that.”<br/><br/>She shook his hand and nodded with a smile. “The president calls and you come running, no matter the time of night.”<br/><br/>Norman shrugged a bit sheepishly and  pointed her to the couch while he walked towards his desk. He sat down behind the thick wooden desk that Lillian recognized. It floated through the White House over the years, placed in various rooms by the different presidents and their first ladies. It was made from the timbers of a British ship, HMS <span class=""bb-i"">Resolute</span>. Rutherford B. Hayes was president when Queen Victoria sent the desk to the White House as a gift. Now Norman used it as his own work desk.<br/><br/>“CIA intelligence coming from Africa arrived on my desk this afternoon. Have you heard of Djibouti?”<br/><br/>“It’s somewhere on the Horn of Africa, right?”<br/><br/>“It was,” said Norman. “The briefing I received had conflicting reports, but most agree that it was destroyed by fire. There was a battle sometime yesterday; the Spanish attempted an amphibious assault. Sources aren’t sure about the numbers, and the fighting is still going on, but it seems that the Spanish won a Pyrrhic victory at best.”<br/><br/>The news surprised Lillian. Ever since Suez the talk was that it would be a matter of time until the war was over. The Africans had heart, but heart was no match for gunships and fighter jets.<br/><br/>“It’s their home,” she said. “And a very important city on top of it. They’ll fight tooth and nail to keep it, or see that the Spaniards don’t get it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Africans set the city on fire themselves.”<br/><br/>Norman nodded and stared down as he spoke. <br/><br/>“Probably. Take what they can, burn the rest to keep the Spaniards hands off it, and retreat into desert to equal the playing field. It’s what I’d do.”<br/><br/>“Is that why you called me into a meeting at midnight, sir? To listen to you play armchair general.”<br/>The president looked up and gave Lillian a wry smirk. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his chin.<br/><br/>“About one hundred and sixty years ago, one of our predecessors who served as Secretary of State and then president said about the United States, ’She goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.’ John Quincy Adams’ words, a supplement to George Washington’s talk of avoiding foreign entanglement, has defined US foreign policy for two hundred years.”<br/><br/>“We almost violated that once,” said Lillian. “1917, with Wilson.”<br/><br/>“That was Wilson’s fault. He said the right things and did the right things, but congress… just would not back him. He couldn’t get the votes or twist the arms, so congress said no… and the Great War went on a lot longer than it should have by all rights.”<br/><br/>“Is this what you wanted to talk about?” Lillian asked. “The possibility of—“<br/><br/>“Don’t say it,” Norman said quickly. “I don’t want to say that word in this office. It is something I’ve thought about more and more the past few days. I see on the television that they’re burning Spanish flags in New York City, people are wearing pins with the colors of the Ethiopian imperial flag. The country by and large is still pissed from Spain sticking their nose into the last war with Canada. On the flip side, I have letters arriving here every day saying we should side with Spain and bomb those dirty commie savages back to the stone age. On top of all that, in two days the House is going to introduce a spending appropriations bill for foreign relief aid to Ethiopia when they come back from summer recess.”<br/><br/>Lillian leaned forward on the couch and looked at the president.<br/><br/>“You hired me to tell you like it is, sir, and I will say this: this show of support is your doing. In a joint session of congress you called out the war as naked imperial aggression. You’re president, but yet you’re surprised that people actually listen to you? If you called me here to tell you the best course, I can only offer one solution: let things play out. You’ve started that you can’t just stop now. Sic Vice President Reed on congress if you want that appropriations bill to fail. If you want it to pass, have it pass and go from there. You and President Fernandez both have been preparing us for conflict if it happens again. Keep it up. We may need it.”</div>"

Barges laden with earth and concrete gathered at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea as did ants at the aperture of their mound. On the southern shore, a fleet of dredges plied the waters just off the coast, throwing wispy plumes of silty water into the air. The mud water rained down upon the shore of a peninsula composed of the same fresh silt in heaping piles, which were smoothed over and spread about the surface of the constructed peninsula by dozens of bulldozers and excavating vehicles. At the base of that long finger of fresh land, near the African continent's natural coast, a dozen channels of varying widths had been cut into the earthwork. Those ribbons of water would eventually become the locks that would facilitate the passage of vessels around the dam.<br/><br/>Upon its completion - sometime in 1990 as predicted by Borgos Industries - the dam would yield incalculably vast quantities of hydroelectric energy; enough to power much of Western Europe. Multi-lane thoroughfares, freight rails, and oil pipelines would run across the dam's crown from Iberia to Africa - linking Spain's African possessions directly to the European homeland. The dam's blockage of flow from the Atlantic would drop sea levels across the Mediterranean and alter the very face of the Earth. Dependent upon Spanish whim alone, the depth of the Mediterranean Sea could be dropped merely ten meters, or all but drained to create millions of square miles of new land to colonize.<br/><br/>It would be a testament to Spain's mastery over mankind and the natural world alike; a worthy monument to Alfonso Sotelo's empire.<br/><br/>Pride swelled within the Prime Minister's breast as he gazed westward, out over the profiles of Iberia and Morroco upon chalky teeth poking over the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean. These were the beginnings of the dam's support pylons, just now protruding from the water's surface like the tips of a newborn's teeth from virgin gums. For years, the dam's construction efforts consisted of earthworks, dredging, rail building, and canal excavation. But now the dam itself had finally begun to sprout, a Spanish dam was already a reality at least in some small portion.<br/><br/>Sotelo's attention returned to the matter at hand, the progress review. Borgos Industries' executives preferred to hold their quarterly reports on the construction's progress from a place where the efforts made were apparent for all to see: the air. The luxury airship <span class=""bb-i"">Imperadora</span> afforded such a vantage point in the most comfortable means possible. Panels of crystal glass on each wall of the conference deck gave all those in attendance a panoramic view of the Straits and the fledgling dam rising slowly from its depths. Seating for some one hundred attendees had been arranged around a podium bearing the Borgos insignia. It was here that representatives for each of the major stakeholders in the dam effort were in attendance. As the Second Spanish Republic itself was the largest contributor to the project behind Borgos itself, Prime Minister Sotelo himself had elected to serve as the government's representative at the review.<br/><br/>""Indeed, in all regards, this quarter has indeed been tremendous for all of us here at Borgos."" The corporate keynote speaker continued; Sotelo hadn't paid attention to what he had said in the previous minutes. ""Since March this year, we have recorded a marked increase of objectives met and duties completed per workweek, and yet the number of injury-related incidents has fallen drastically. In fact, the number of injury-related and near miss incidents reported since our second quarter review last year is down two hundred and forty percent!"" The speaker declared proudly, eliciting a round of light applause from the audience. ""Here at Borgos, safety is our primary consideration!""<br/><br/>Sotelo too smiled and joined in the round of unenthusiastic golf applause, in spite of the fact he was aware that the speaker's figure was an outright fabrication. If anything, worker deaths on the Gibraltar Damn had increased in the past year; Sotelo knew because he himself had introduced a bill designed to weaken occupational safety standards on Borgos' behalf. The loopholes provided in that piece of legislature had since allowed Borgos and their contractors to severely deflate the unacceptably high rate of mortality and injury on the project. Near misses that did not involve vital project property were simply not recorded; provincial laborers from Rio Niger and Spanish Algeria - people who wouldn't be missed by anyone that mattered - were sent to do the most dangerous work. Sotelo felt no guilt for it; if the dam was going to be completed in an acceptable timeframe, some corners would have to be cut. Safety legislation - telling businesses how to accomplish work - is all socialist nonsense anyway.<br/><br/>""What that amounts to, gentlemen, is more work is being done more safely. And we continue to explore new options for...""<br/><br/>The Prime Minister's attentiveness lapsed once again. He glanced to his side, to two ever-present bodyguards standing out of the way against the window-walls. In these sorts of closed-door meetings, bodyguards served as his links to the world outside, ready to appraise him of any particularly important happenings. Their cold, stoic stares across the audience demonstrated they had no news for him.<br/><br/>The head of the Spanish Republic could not simply be away from contact for an hour or two if something critical were taking place, and Sotelo had learned it was more polite to not leave early to check in with his aides and advisers. He had no interest in this review in any case - being here was purely a political move. Officially, the Prime Minister's seat was to be voted for in the September elections. Sotelo had been making moves for years to ensure that he would not face a candidate that would ever stand a chance of usurping his rule. But he had to at least <span class=""bb-i"">pretend</span> as if he was if he was campaigning. Amongst Spain's industrial plutocrats, attending these reviews demonstrated interest in working for their interests in the future. This amounted to a far better use of time than pretending to pander to the average Spaniard. He had more important things to concern himself with than playing the ""man for the people"" as he had in '76.<br/><br/>Chief among those more pressing matters, for the moment at least, was the War. The evening before, General Ponferrada had informed the Prime Minister that a landing on the very coast of Ethiopia would be underway at once. That had been twelve hours ago, and Sotelo wanted direly to know how far they had pressed into the enemy homeland. His soldiers might well be assaulting Addis Ababa right this moment, and he would be none the wiser.<br/><br/>At that moment, a tap of the finger was felt upon Sotelo's left shoulder as one of the guard stooped down and cupped a hand over his ear after he had noted his paging receiver buzzing softly in his pocket. <br/><br/>""Your presence is requested in Madrid, Excellency,"" the somber, trained disinterest of the Cazador protection graveled into Sotelo's ear. ""A chopper has been summoned and will be awaiting you on the helipad shortly. I ask that you excuse yourself as soon as you see fit.""<br/><br/>Sotelo shot upright in his seat. ""On what grounds? What has transpired?"" The Prime Minister made no effort to whisper; he was either so perturbed that he had forgotten to keep his voice down, or he simply did not care. In any event, Sotelo had cut the keynote speaker off while diverting the attention of all those present aboard the <span class=""bb-i"">Imperadora</span>.<br/><br/>""I was not informed as to the exact subject, Excellency. All I know is that it concerns military matters.""<br/><br/>Then it was bad news. Good news could always wait, and if he was being requested to meet immediately with the military leadership in the capital, then something very grave indeed had transpired. The urge to determine the scope and nature of this disaster utterly seized him. Sotelo bolted to his feet, giving the Borgos speaker pause.<br/><br/>""Your Excellency, Prime Minister, is everything well?"" The man at the podium asked, worry written on his face.<br/><br/>""There is an urgent matter which must be attended,"" Sotelo answered. ""I must go."" And with no further explanation nor apology, Alfonso Sotelo departed the conference deck with guards in tow to the utter bewilderment of all those in attendance.</div>"

The diesel engine roared like a blast furnace. Against the metal hull small-arms fire peppered the steel shell ringing against it like hammers against an iron bell. The ricochets were loud and sharp, further drowning much of what was going on in Tsung's ears.<br/><br/>His senses were over-extended. The grind into the city had not ended and neither had the Russians seemed to tire. But there was a chaos in the air. A maddening storm that crashed against the walls of his house threatening to spike the calm of his sanity. His heart thumped in his chest as fast as the turbine engine behind him spun. And in front of him was the unstoppable force of a concrete wall. Or so Song didn't think.<br/><br/>Slamming his foot down on the accelerator pedals he hurled the tanks against the cobbling wall, smashing it against the stone with the grind and sheering popping of metal as several tonnes of heavy iron and explosive ammunition came to bear against it. Cracks spider-webbed in the brick-work as he pressed their vehicle into the offending blockade.<br/><br/>The Russians had erected in the streets tank-traps. The heavy iron crosses and concrete blocks designed to slow or stall moving armor. They were heavy, but were with any faith not nearly as stubborn as the exterior wall of a apartment block.<br/><br/>Steel wrenched itself into twisted forms as the cracks broke open into holes and the engine screamed at a higher pitch. “We're going to over-heat her!” Tse Lin screamed.<br/><br/>“Pull back, give her time to cool!” Song ordered from his commanding chair. His knuckles glowed white-hot as he gripped the frame of his gondola. “Hui!” he barked, “anti-tank rifle at four-o' clock.”<br/><br/>“How high.” Hui called out, calmed and collected. Too eerie for Tsung whose heart took a lurch at the invocation.<br/><br/>“Doesn't matter, I want high-explosives.” Song demanded.<br/><br/>“D-d-d-” Tsung stuttered. But Song answered the question before he could choke it out.<br/><br/>“He's shooting over us, I don't think he noticed.” his commander consoled as the main turret roared to life with a guttural bang.<br/><br/>“Try again, Tsung!” Song ordered as he turned to the radio, shouting out over the sounds of the intense conflict around them. A mortar grenade landed somewhere nearby, its detonation muffled by the thick shell. But none the less too close as shrapnel cascaded down the thick bullet-proof port glass.<br/><br/>Tsung threw the tank forward again and the wall came to lurch. He saw the cracks split and a dark void form between them as rebar supports bent and groan. All that could be hoped in this insanity was that Russian steel was inferior.<br/><br/>But for all the rushing madness this wasn't coming on top. From his chair Tsung had watched his armored comrades roaring across the farmer's fields, cut by shallow rudimentary trenches with sleds of steel. Laying out behind them bridges the mechanized infantry and foot soldiers of the Revolution rushed across without hesitation or question. Circumventing and climbing over the very defenses the Republican army had struggled to erect.<br/><br/>He watched a tank next to him take an anti-tank shell through the turret. The rush of burning diesel exploded into the air through the exit behind it. The fire ultimately catching the ammunition stores before he could tell anyone had escaped. The explosion in his hair as pounding and deafening as the croak of a dragon bullfrog.<br/><br/>And now here they were, committing in their own way for the mission. Ramming the nose of their tank into the wall of an apartment.<br/><br/>With a crackling wail the brick and mortar split aside and fell. Bursting into a thick cloud of ashen dust as the Tei Gui sped in, tearing freely through the drywall. Wood and plaster crunched and scratched against the steel hull as they roared through. The cabin bumped and yawed as it lumbered through walls of thinly space rooms and narrow halls. Scrapped along the low ceiling and knocking free rivers of plaster and asbestos.<br/><br/>With a crash it cleared to the front lobby, desolate of life and the dark murky interior devoid of civilian activity. Unabated, it sailed through the door. Rendering from the frame the wood and brick as it cleared the entrance. Brick and steel gouged along the side. The interior sang with the rancid sound of sharp steel and toothy rock. Groaning in its exit, it crashed into the street below. Tsung rocked in his seat as he kept the pressure on and back into the clear summer afternoon.<br/><br/>The engines turned and the treads spun against one another and the boat turned down the street. “We're breaking this barrier.” Song snarled, “Keep straight to the corner!” he issued without hesitation, “I want the turret rotated to ten o'clock. High explosives at the ready.”<br/><br/>“Yes, comrade.” Hui and Lin reported in unison. The high-pitched whine and clatter from above signaled the turret was on the spin as Tsung moved along the road. The fury of combat muffled by the separation of buildings. Behind him, the familiar swallowing clunk of the turret affirmed the gun was loaded.<br/><br/>The air hummed with the grinding of diesel as they barreled down the street. The familiar tones of machine gun fire rising ahead of them as they approached the intersection ahead. Flanking their sides the industrial gray of additional projects towered above them.<br/><br/>Among the din and the cacophonous call of fighting they rolled behind the barriers as a leopard. The olive-green uniforms of Russian riflemen turned against them as they lay behind concrete barriers and sandbag redoubts. The street had been turned into a vicious choke point. And beyond their barriers the iron crows feet barriers that dissuaded them sat in wait. Many more stretched along the road for blocks.<br/><br/>Chinese and Siberian rounds flaked off the hardy armor of the Tei Gui that loomed behind them as Hui made the final adjustments. There was a delayed pause before the Chinese war machine opened up. But when it made its report, the bagged nest the Republican defenders had risen to ward off the Chinese had unfolded into a cloud of debris and smoke, leaving behind a smoldering crater and scattering soldiers who scattered from the wayward shell that hit from behind. Or if they did not scatter, they lay dead or dying in the milky dust. Their corpses mangled in the street.<br/><br/>A moment of broken silence passed on by as the low roll of the shell's impact faltered and faded as it echoed through the streets. Rushing forward, the otherwise pinned Chinese attackers marched forward, pressing themselves against the walls as they trained their guns into windows and up high as they watched the shattered windows of apartment floors above. Even through the hull of the armor Tsien could hear the echo of distant fire as Chinese and Russian troops skirmished in the streets. Over head airplanes droned searching for targets, or scouting the streets from on high. Behind him, Sun Song called in what had happened on the radio, sending back their position.<br/><br/>But above it all, ringing in his ears still was that hallowed scream of the tank shell and the explosion. Still looming in front of his vision and in the dark corners of his psyche the repeating image of the vaporizing Russians played. He felt cold and sweaty. Subdued jitters crawled across his skin with each pass of clammy coldness. In the moment of peace and inaction, he closed his eyes, trying to hide himself away. But he could still hear the booming of the gun, and the guttural, horrible rending of the impacting shell.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Road to Moscow, North of Kazan</div><br/><br/>With a putter and a wheeze, the car drew to a lumbering stop in the middle of the country road.<br/><br/>“Cyka blyat!” Vasiliy cried, bashing the steering wheel with the palm of his hand. Ullanhu jumped from the sudden explosive outburst from his partner, broken from his meditative staring out into the rural landscape of European Russia. Stretching out all around them stretched miles of wheat fields in varying state of use and disuse. Some looked clearly tended too, flush with golden waves of amber grains. Where as others had become clearly overgrown where old farmers had simply let the crop grow wild.<br/><br/>Ullanhu looked over, dazed and stunned with his partner. The scrawny Russian with the stringy blonde hair and floppy stripped collared shirt stood slumped over the scratched steering wheel. His lip stuck out in the air and a powerful look of anger dashed across his face. From the car there was a rhythmic tapping as metal contracted and clicked. The engine had gone silent and a cloud of steam bellowed out from under the hood, and the obnoxious hood vent.<br/><br/>“Steam?” Vasiliy said in Russian, raising his head. “Steam! This I can fix!” he cheered happily, throwing open the driver's side door and bounding out onto the shoulder of the road. “I can fix this!” he cackled insanely as he whipped around to the trunk of their car.<br/><br/>“You can?” Ullanhu muttered from the passenger's side, turning to watch his partner dance around and fumbling with his keys as he engaged the trunk in vicious key-to-lock combat.<br/><br/>“Yes yes!” he yelled back, “Is only radiator. Is out of coolant!” he cackled in his broken Chinese.<br/><br/>“You know if it's easier you can always talk to me in Russian...” Ullanhu offered cautiously, “That I can speak too.”<br/><br/>“No, no. Is not of polite!” the young Russian sputtered anxiously. He fought each word, like someone trying to calculate long math by his own head, “Besides, I of need practices.”<br/><br/>“Well, whatever you want.” Ullanhu agreed tentatively. He leaned back in his chair and starred out down the road. Their road had long turned from forested dirt tracks and over-grown two-tracks in the low mountains to a twisted long stretch of country weaving. The road had become paved, but only in a broken sense. The pavement was cracked and pitted. At times, entire stretches seemed like gravel in its most pure form. He couldn't help but wonder if this was a fact of recent developments, or if it had been such a problem even during the glorious days of the tzar.<br/><br/>It was for Russia an idyllic summer day they drove through. This car, whatever it was, lacked any means of air conditioning. The two had driven for the better part of a day with the windows rolled down to take in the fresh air and to flush out the summer heat. The sky was a clear and beautiful expanse of blue. In a way, the day reminded Ullanhu very much of being at home, among the herdsmen of Mongolia before the life of the IB took him.<br/><br/>“Vasiliy.” the agent offered, “What did you do before all this?” he asked.<br/><br/>“What do?” the Russian answered back, reaching into the car to pop the latch on the hood. In his hand was a worn army can full of some manner of liquid.<br/><br/>“Before... this.” Ullanhu gestured out, to all around him. “This war. This civil war?” he poised.<br/><br/>“Oh, I was a army private.” the young Russian answered weakly, smiling wide and dumbly as he looked up at his Chinese partner. “Is what you want?”<br/><br/>“Not necessarily.” Ullanhu mumbled.<br/><br/>“Oh.” Vasiliy said, walking around to the popped hood. A cloud of trapped steam rushed out of the heated engine block and into his face as it flew open like a steel clam shell. Now it blocked his view of the road ahead. But he continued speaking as he watched the Russian unscrew the coolant cap to fill the reservoir.<br/><br/>“I mean, what did you do before the army even?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Father owned barber shop.” Vasiliy answered plainly, “Mother worked as clerk at bank. We live in Moscow.”<br/><br/>“Are they still there?” the Mongol asked.<br/><br/>“Yes and no.” the young Russian answered, his voice lowered to an almost uncomfortable level. “You see, they died.”<br/><br/>“I'm sorry to hear that.” Ullanhu comforted, he felt almost stung he had broached to something such as that. An aching curled up in his heart and he looked away, almost apologetically, like he had caught a girl naked.<br/><br/>“No, no. Is good.” replied Vasiliy as he finished pouring the coolant. But still the engine clicked as he lowered the hood of the car. “What of yours?” he asked.<br/><br/>“They're fine.” Ullanhu answered guiltily, “They uh- they're shepards.”<br/><br/>“Shepards? Such modesty.” the Russian commented. “How man go from shepard to spy?”<br/><br/>“I don't know.” Ullanhu shrugged, “For being smart?”<br/><br/>“Wish I was so smart.” Vasiliy commented, “Perhaps I be not in Russia but in France during such anarchy.” he grinned tensly.<br/><br/>“Yea, France. France would be a good place to be.” Ullanhu stammered.<br/><br/>Vasiliy got shut away their reserve coolant into the trunk and slid back into the driver's seat. His finger drummed on the red wooden steering wheel as he starred ahead down the road.<br/><br/>“So, are we going?”<br/><br/>“Of not yets.” Vasiliy remarked calmly, “We waits for engine to cool.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu nodded. The two sat listening to the engine click and groan. Ullanhu looked out across the open farm-fields, looking for something to look at and to watch. In the far distance between two fields a small Orthodox chapel stood in the open. Its rounded domes and roofs sagged in on itself. And even from the distance between each other Ullanhu could see the broken exterior wall and the gaps in the worn and faded plaster than had protected the brick work underneath. The inconsistency in the colors was powerful.<br/><br/>“You be of out of country before?” Vasiliy asked, taking his turn to broach conversation.<br/><br/>“Have I?” Ullanhu asked back.<br/><br/>“Ya.”<br/><br/>“I dunno, I suppose you could say China is foreign to me.” he laughed nervously. He felt like he was betraying himself saying so, while at the same time somehow staying loyal. “Or, well, for a while we were independent when I was just a toddler. But I grew up in China for as long as I can remember, so I suppose I can't ever say that.<br/><br/>“So no. No I haven't. This is the furthest I've been from home. Ever.”<br/><br/>“I have been to of Ukraine.” Vasiliy remarked, “When I just green and fresh. We want to of retakes lost Imperial land, bring Ukraine back to Empire. Be united again, and not be of broken people.<br/><br/>“But, you know the rest. But we didn't know at time. Was I only eighteen at time. Certainly didn't know better, never pay attention to Finland.”<br/><br/>“Do you ever wish to get out?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>“Maybe.” Vasiliy smiled, “Maybe I visit China after war.” he smiled. He sounded like he was posing a compliment. Even the look in his eyes was warm as he looked over to his partner.<br/><br/>“But that's not now.” he finished, licking his cracked lips, “Perhaps car is of workings. We back to road.” he mused, cranking the key in the ignition. With a burp the car started up. The engine screamed in protest and whined. Perhaps it was too hot, but it wasn't so much that it wouldn't start up again.<br/><br/>“Where'd you get this?” Ullanhu asked as they rolled back out onto the road.<br/><br/>“Founds in car lot during break in Moscow.” the Russian smiled, “With lots others. Owner had fled to some wheres. We moved in, Makulov claimed them all. We took for selves.<br/><br/>“I like this. Is sportings car. Always dreamed driving sportings car.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Ethiopia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tog Wajaale, Somalia</div><br/><br/>The car took a hard bump over a piece of garbage in the road. The asphalt glistened with the kiss of fresh rain. Ripe green brush grew over the embankment of the road. Underneath soft-red clay and sand lay in wait, ready to emerge again when the seasonal rains receded and the landscape returned to being bone dry. Scoring the hills and their green farmer's fields dashed the landscape in long lines, themselves lush with green produce. Among the rows men and women wandered hunched gleaning through the crop to come.<br/><br/>The sky overhead was the patchwork of clear skies and white clouds reminiscent of a sky that had been pregnant with rain before it. Birds darted above them as they dashed to collect bugs before returning to scrubby brush. There was little in the way of trees to cover in. It was all hard, coarse bush and hardy plant life. Han Wen sighed, hoping to soon escape the ground and return to the sky. He had forgotten how much he missed it. To be in the true openness of the skies. To maneuver and dance, and not lumber through on sand-abused wheels with a engine that groaned and protested at every suggestion of acceleration. He wanted to be above this. He wanted to give that Spaniard a rematch above these fields.<br/><br/>The heat and the wet season humidity had not worked well together. Sweat beaded on his brow and long ago he had thrown off his leather pilot's jacket and tossed it into the back of the withering coup where it lay crumpled in the back seat. Mulki had seemed not to care, but the two had not spoken since Bargaal. Wen's anxiety to get home had closed him like a clam shell. And he didn't quite know how to approach such foreign women.<br/><br/>They closed in on another town he'd soon forget. He stopped trying to learn their names. He was an airman after all, his direction was given in degrees and altitudes. Before he could take final note of the countryside they rolled in passed plaster-coated buildings and mud-brick shanties. The sides of the street were abreast with activity. Humble Muslim women shuffled about in groups, their faces shaded by hijabs and bodies hidden behind long dresses. Old men in chairs outside the doors of their homes watched the passing car with a casual disinterest as they chewed.<br/><br/>It wasn't a spectacular thing in its own.<br/><br/>“So what was your grand father talking about?” he asked suddenly, breaching the silence. It had burned him silently for the better part of the day. He had figured to broach it. In truth, he had some idea. But the picture wasn't complete.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” Mulki responded.<br/><br/>“He is your grandfather, right?” Wen asked again, turning to look at Mulki. She sat at the driver's wheel, handling through the sparse village streets and dodging battered utility vehicles and the odd mule-pulled wagon. She made a cursory glance to him.<br/><br/>“Well, by marriage.” she admitted plainly, “But he's also not my grandfather. He's my great uncle to my husband.” she corrected.<br/><br/>“Ah, I see.” Wen nodded, “Forgive me then.”<br/><br/>“It's alright.” she forgave, “But you wanted to know about his stories?”<br/><br/>“Yeah, I have an idea. But it's not too shaky. He fought in The War?”<br/><br/>“Oh, he did.” she said. There was a tinge of regret, or was it awe? It was difficult to place and Han Wen had to fight to figure it. He put it in bewilderment, “But, he's never talked about it much until just recently. I mean, we all knew. He still wears the uniforms, the medals. He's proud, but he's never put anything to words.<br/><br/>“You were the first person to ever have him tell his story, and you can't even understand him!” she exclaimed.<br/><br/>“Did he know?” Wen asked.<br/><br/>“Probably, but there was something about you that I guess convinced him he could open up to you.” she nodded, “Perhaps he knew you couldn't judge him? I don't know him well enough to say. I can't get into his head, and neither could his closest family, and most of them are dead too by now.”<br/><br/>“Such a shame.” commented Wen.<br/><br/>“Well, I can't dwell on it honestly.” Mulki laughed politely. She shot him a stray smile.<br/><br/>“So, these stories?” Wen prodded, “I can tell he's a pilot. And flew for the Germans I guess?”<br/><br/>“Oh, one of a few!” she boasted, it sounded like one of the odd things she could be proud about for him. They stopped in the road as a young boy led some cattle across the intersecting roads with the help of a skinny, scruffy dog.<br/><br/>“But as far as I knew before hand he was recruited by the Germans in the war as part of a auxiliary corp of Ashkari pilots with the Somali and Ethiopian loyalty during the war. There was maybe only twenty whole pilots recruited by the Germans from Africa as a whole. They mostly kept my people as infantry, but I assume they really wanted to make sure they had pilots here while ensuring they had the best in Europe.”<br/><br/>“So, what sort of stuff did he do?”<br/><br/>“I -uh, I don't know where to start.” Mulki giggled nervously, “He bombed I guess British and French forces in Africa. But those were Ashkari too.”<br/><br/>“So Africans bombing Africans.” Han Wen mused.<br/><br/>“Not exactly...” corrected Mulki, “A lot of them – including himself – were commanded by European officers. He lamented that he never got to a rank that he could call himself one, despite his long career throughout the large majority of the war. He actually outlived a number of his own officers, but he was always kept low. I imagine that was true across the entire unit. No matter how loyal they flew, or how well they fought.”<br/><br/>“So what was he trying to say with that?” Wen inquired dully.<br/><br/>“Maybe that he knows how you feel. That he knows that hate with Europeans?”<br/><br/>“I don't necessarily hate Europeans.” Han Wen defensively muttered, “At least, not totally.”<br/><br/>“Oh?”<br/><br/>“Well, I hate Spain. But because the Spanish are my enemies. The others... I haven't met the others...” he trailed off, thinking. He wasn't sure where he was going with that. In truth, he didn't think highly of Europe and its people. But he had been grappling with how to define his relationship, since enlistment and before. He had met Russians, and he met the few remaining Englishmen from Hong Kong and Portuguese in Macao through his service. They had been as much a person as he was, without the intense hunger to oppress him and his nation that had been expounded in the dialog and rhetoric of Beijing politics.<br/><br/>“It's complicated, I guess.” he admitted flatly. But he could feel it chew him. He was to fight them now. Could he say he was going to not unlike them anymore?<br/><br/>“Well, which ever the case I can only guess he understands and supports your fight.” Mulki comforted the pilot. They kept moving through the town, passing over a creek. Its banks full of water.<br/><br/>“So what else did your step-great-uncle do?” Wen needled, moving the conversation along.<br/><br/>“Well, he talked about flying above the armies led by the nobles of Ethiopia.” she continued, “Seeing their armies from the ground and the airs. And the Ras that lead them. He flew on to drop bombs with his own hands on the enemy. And combat another pilot even with his own pistol.<br/><br/>“He met Hassan's father too.”<br/><br/>Han Wen nodded. Hassan hardly carried as much prestige among the Chinese as he did Africa. To him, he was another name among the ones of Africa he had to know to understand the continent. Another face. But without any associations with the Pan-African Empire the image he had of their most powerful of generals was a mixed relationship.<br/><br/>He could admire his command. But be critical of him in private. There were many stories of his deeds. Including the mutilation of a village's worth of toddlers. He was a man invoked when speaking of Ethiopia's successes and potential when the question of their strength was raised with an Ethiopian officer. Someone who had fought and marched across the continent from one shore to another.<br/><br/>He had even heard from a superstitious soldier that Hassan communed with God directly to receive insights, which is how he brought down the Queer General of the Congo. He didn't believe it.<br/><br/>“Did he have anything to say on his father?” the pilot asked.<br/><br/>“Just what anyone from Somalia would say about him.” Mulki quipped, “He's well respected among us people.”<br/><br/>“Sounds like an admirable person.” Han Wen admitted flatly as they continued along past ramshackle shacks. The village held in it the sparse efforts of modernization. It straddled the edge of multiple worlds.<br/><br/>“Who?”<br/><br/>“Your great step-uncle.”<br/><br/>“We knew he was.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tai Po District, Hong Kong</div><br/><br/>“Uncounted are believed to have died in the attempted crossing!” Jin Feng read out aghast as she held the newspaper out in front of her. The warm light of the summer sun basked her face in a warm light and glittered in the distance off the waves of the ocean. “Surviving refugees have recounted harrowing stories of Spanish ships firing on civilian crafts seeking safety before the imperialist dogs of Spain arrived at their homes in Djibouti.<br/><br/>“Liling, this is crazy!” exclaimed the youth as she leaned forward off the chill radiating off the air-conditioning machine at her back. On the roof of the tenement building they both lived in rose high above the city below in the hills at the center of town. Plover cove was a bed of bluish steel where fishing boats and other watercraft crawled like white diamonds across the maritime bed.<br/><br/>“It's crazy you actually read the paper so much.” Liling replied in a dry tone as she lay across a towel thrown over the gravel of the rooftop. Liling, unlike her girlfriend Feng was not a young girl to have wholly shed her youthful roundness. Her body hadn't become long and thin like her partner. She lay in the sun in her underwear, watching the puffy cotton clouds slowly sail across the facade of the sun.<br/><br/>“Well it's crazy that this would have happened, just blowing up innocent people like that?” Feng continued, wringing the paper in her hands, “That's reserved for the worst.”<br/><br/>“There's a lot of things reserved for the worst and I don't think the Spanish warrant enough of them for me to care.” Liling groaned as she sat up. Unlike the most of Hong Kong, this roof was with exception one of the most private places to be in the open air, without trudging into the rocky overgrowth that so choked the rugged hills the city circled so tightly, it was this roof that provided privacy. If because it still stood among all the others.<br/><br/>It opened unto whoever could manage to break out into it a panorama vista of the Tai Po district. Looking behind them the rounded and wild landscape of hilltops and peaks crowned with lush greens stood and spiraled behind them. Hidden in the boughs of trees hung the heavy woven nests of weaver birds.<br/><br/>Opposite, snaking down the slope of the highlands was the city proper itself. More a spectacle of human domination than what was behind them. Concrete and steel rose above isolated garden parks in pillars of white or softly shining glass. And even as far as they were from it the sounds of traffic - the honking horns and motor engines – still rose to their ears to compete with the birdsong as part of the already naturalized symphony of Hong Kong.<br/><br/>“Still, something should be done.” spat Feng, rolling up the newspaper and smacking it against her legs. She had rolled her dress up so she might sit cross legged, and on top to keep the fabric from being dusted and dirtied by her choice of seat. As such her legs shone long and bare in the afternoon summer sun.<br/><br/>“And it's not either of our choices to make.” Liling consoled, tilting her head to the side and giving her girl friend a long lover's stare, “Don't be like a little brat.”<br/><br/>“I'm not!” Feng protested loudly. Feng smiled.<br/><br/>“Oh, you are.” she giggled, reaching out an arm and sliding along the gravel as she stretched out to her. She pressed a warm hand against Feng's legs as she lay her head at the side of her mate and looked up into the blue sky.<br/><br/>“No I'm not!” Feng continued to moan. Her face glowed a beat fiery red.<br/><br/>“That whatever in Shanghai is looking into it.” Lilling reminded her through long smiling lips. Dark green eyes looked up into her own through half-closed sleepy eye-lids. She brushed a hand through short ash-black hair before liberating one of Feng's from her lap and holding the fingers tight. She messaged them tight in her palm as she spoke, “Some of those Africans or something are asking someone to help out. Is that enough?” she crooned, “See, I pay attention to the news.”<br/><br/>“Oh, please.” Feng bemoaned distraught, “That's probably the only thing because you listened to it while waiting for a bus.”<br/><br/>“Well what would I do on a afternoon around town without you?” Lilling posed, “I certainly don't go to any of your friend's motor races on the mainland.<br/><br/>“Or whatever that other skinny boy does. What does he do?”<br/><br/>“Cong does whatever.” she said flatly, looking away from her lounging girlfriend. Her hand was warm and firm, and it was making a part of her want to hold her. But still, her stubbornness over not caring for what was going on made her want to hit her. She was confused, and hot. “He's probably reading.”<br/><br/>“Mhmm...” Lilling smiled, “Maybe we should invite him?” she teased.<br/><br/>“No!” she shouted, that'd probably kill the poor boy. Lilling laughed at her suddenness.<br/><br/>“Well, what do you think we do?” Lilling continued her interrogation wistfully, “Do you want to hear what else I heard on the city news?”<br/><br/>“What?” Feng asked.<br/><br/>“It was going to be a hot day today.” Lilling grinned lustfully, running her hand up Feng's leg. “Come one, there's no one here to look. Nothing's broken, so can we break it then?”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Beijing</div><br/><br/>The theater was abuzz with an excited chatter. Looking out from behind back stage Auyi watched the seats filling up as curious voters-to-be and spectators flowed in through the doors. He'd been in this very building once, inside the national opera house, for an opera aggrandizing the revolution. In little way had Auyi claimed to have had once an important roll to play in it, much unlike his debate partner to be.<br/><br/>He looked across the stage. There hidden in the shadows of the spotlights he caught eye of Mang Xhu. Standing cold and strong, like some ancient golem or imperial statue. His scowling face starred back at him. Even without the light, Auyi knew he was scowling at him. There was no sense of loyalty between the two. And Auyi knew for sure that the minister long considered him a traitor. He wanted to say it was his decision to run against the minister of industry. But he knew it went further back.<br/><br/>Still yet he needed to have confidence. Spiting Xhu's demeanor Auyi bowed from across the stage to him. He knew he could see him. Both of them could. He gave no outward response.<br/><br/>“We're ready in six!” a stage hand hollered over the racket of filling theater steams and the controlled chaos of backstage activity. It was no play or opera to be sure, nor concert. The engineering wasn't complex, but it was all it needed to be. Lunging at ropes, engineers climbed to the scaffolding above to the lights that ran across the central stage. Auyi stopped to wonder how many times these simple, black jump-suited men had done this before.<br/><br/>“Are you ready?” a voice asked. Auyi turned around to find behind him Shanxi Wu. His large glasses hung off the tip of his nose. In his hands he held a delicate, thin folder.<br/><br/>“I am.” Zhang Auyi nodded, taking a deep breath. He brushed his hands down the breast of his white suit, “Do I look it?” he inquired with a confident smile.<br/><br/>“As usually, comrade.” Wu bowed, “And how about Xhu?” he asked, pointing across the way, “Not letting hims get into your head?”<br/><br/>Auyi turned to his half-hidden competitor. He loomed like a hawk in the shadows. Glaring ever so still at him behind the throws of dark shadows. “Not at all.” Auyi turned back, smiling. “What's in your hand?”<br/><br/>“I got it from the International this morning.” Wu said, “They wanted you to look at, since you're still secretary. Confirmation for candidates to fill your seat has yet to be made still.”<br/><br/>“Well why haven't they finished?” he pried, “I thought they'd be done.”<br/><br/>“I think they decided to hold off. Besides, they're tied up with the Africa question. Of which, this is the informal vote count for the debate on action in Ethiopia.” he seg wayed, holding out the folder in his hand. Auyi took it, and immediately flipped it open.<br/><br/>“Public yet?” he asked, opening the first page.<br/><br/>“No, not yet.”<br/><br/>Auyi nodded, scanning down the paper. Passed the breakdowns and footnotes to the final results page. “A little over half abstained, undecided.” he nodded, “But... the Vietnamese are greatly concerned I guess. They're in charge of the vote?”<br/><br/>“I guess.” Wu shrugged.<br/><br/>Auyi continued, flipping through the pages. “I guess...” he said in a hushed tone, “They're concerned this'll revive an era of European colonization. They're wanting this extended to the British aggression in South Africa?”<br/><br/>“I wouldn't know, I haven't read it.” Wu snipped.<br/><br/>“Ok, hold on to this for me then for after the debate.” demanded Auyi, handing back the Comintern report, “I'll have to read it then in full when we're through.”<br/><br/>“You going to take any action?”<br/><br/>“Now's not the time for that sort of decision making.” he shot back, “I don't got long...” he trailed off. Looking out at the open chamber. The lights were beginning to dim. “We're starting.”<br/><br/>The lights went out so only the spotlights on the stage illuminated the finished wood floors. Casting their golden light upon a pair of podiums set apart from each other. Red carpet sat under neath the wooden stands. A round of polite applause filled the opera hall like rain. In the darkness only the faint suggestion of Beijing's city lights glowed from the glass pagoda that was the hall's roof.<br/><br/>The applause was the signal for Auyi and Xhu to step out on stage. Each sauntered out into the light in their own manner. Xhu taking the stage like a drill officer surveying his recruits, his face neither benevolent nor cruel. His balding head shone in the spotlights and his face was twisted into an indifferent bulldog as he came up to the podium.<br/><br/>Auyi, knowing the value of politics was spry. He turned and modestly rose his hand to greet his audience. He smiled warm. His thick black hair combed across his head as youthful eyes peered out in search of phantoms.<br/><br/>“Comrades, on this day: July 4th, 1980 we convene to hear in debate candidates Mang Xhu and Zhang Auyi.” the moderator of the event droned in a indifferent voice. “Who in their pursuit for the seat of Grand Secretary have agreed both to engage in a public event to present and discuss their points to the nation.<br/><br/>“I am Yi Chang, reporting over NPN radio and for commentary on film reel. Comrades, let us begin:<br/><br/>“In the news recently the people have heard terrifying accounts of war in Africa as per the aggression of Spain against the African people. China, having commitments with Ethiopia has so far hung out of the war. As Grand Secretaries, what is the course of action you two will designate in Africa should National Congress feel apt to declare war, or the International decides to act on declaring war on our behalf, obligating us to provide some manner of armed accommodations to Africa?<br/><br/>“Mang Xhu, you have a minute.”<br/><br/>“The hostility of the Spanish people are a sure sign of the corruption of the bourgeois class!” the industrial minister began plainly, clapping his hand upon the podium, “And to know that we have gone so long without clipping their corruption to disable their ability to commit such terror is beyond me. We, the Chinese people should stand as the bulwark of progress for the proletariat on an international level, and we should be committed to war for not only Africa, but to sweep Revolution into Europe through Spain.<br/><br/>“China should go forth to Africa and to deter the Spanish. But in doing so we should re-write our commitments to the African people and to enforce popular, proletariat sovereignty of the nation and its political structures. This war is a means for us to bring the Revolution to Africa as well, and to depose the regime of Yaqob. Though he may be in part educated by us, he has failed to reform the state from its reactionary status as a monarchy and to be a true, progressive, socialist state ruled by a vanguard of their own people. A vanguard that Yaqob can not be!<br/><br/>“To rest our case, we owe not only to ourselves to rid us of threats in Europe, but to enforce a mission of liberation in the hearts and lives of the African people so they may be truly free. They may be free of Europe now, but they are not free in their self-determination in a free society!”<br/><br/>“Thank you.” Yi Chang said politely from the darkness beyond the spotlights, “Auyi, your response?”<br/><br/>Zhang Auyi looked into the blinding light, trying his best to hold his composure against the blinding silver that drowned his vision. “It is true that China should have in its interests to defend the African people.” he began, “But it should not be so much that we so aptly sweep into their homes to dismantle and destroy their home as we drive off the invader. Would this too make us an aggressor as well to our allies?<br/><br/>“Yaqob, though an Emperor is not an evil man. He is a leader lead by his own compassion to lead the nation as much as Hou Sai Tang has with ours. He is a leader of humility and intelligence, and it's in his capable abilities that he can direct Africa into a liberated society without the need of undue violence. So I must reject my companion's insistence that the Ethiopian body be burned as we defend it as a friend. Because after all: one does not invite a friend to his home for him to remarkably burn it as another uninvited guest loots it. It is a moral and logical fallacy that this is the way it should be and has to be.<br/><br/>“China is a defender! A benevolent and enlightened beacon of hope for the weak nation and the trodden proletariat. It is in the moral interests of this nation to act as such and not in its own self-interest. Patience as a nation is a virtue, and it is in our best interests that Spain - if they are the enemy – be dealt with in time. If that time is that war: then so be it. But if it's a later war: let it be so. The worker's revolution shall prevail, but it needn't do so with a fire so vengeful and filled with rage it should destroy everything else that came before it.”<br/><br/>“In the interests of the continued aims of the revolution then, as aptly referenced. How might it be executed then as a foreign policy?” the moderator inquired. “Mang Xhu.”<br/><br/>“To put it aptly there is no nation that is a friend of China until they accept the nature of proletariat revolution. The guiding principles of the NPCLA being a vanguard party for this state is to ensure not only the active defense of our people but to complete the process of our people into a society of Communism. And as called for in its defense, we should take to the larger world. Assert ourselves and our force of arms to break down the institution of the oppressive parties of the international world to bring about a state where-in all nations can complete and undergo social evolution. To distance themselves from religion, class, and money. China can not accomplish this alone.”<br/><br/>“I'm afraid to decline.” Auyi interjected, “Continual war is a factor that can not be helpful to any state. No matter how big or smile. Its rewards are too small for such a high a cost and the machine which will see it through will eventually break down and counter-revolution will ultimately win in the end. Under the proposed aggressive policy China will only make more enemies than it does friends, and the isolated policy of China over the past twenty-years has only given us so few valuable friends. We can not afford to loose the friends we have in order to pursue a moral obligation blinded by aggression.<br/><br/>“China can achieve and enforce the Revolution in softer ways.” he continued, speaking politely and soft like a teacher. He allowed himself to lean free of the podium, “We do not need weapons so much as we need to introduce our own economy outward to the larger world. Allow for others to consume our culture and become warm to the benefits of economic relations. Become powerful off of this, and in this power have the ability to influence.<br/><br/>“Like leading a young child to bed,” he smiled warmly, calling upon his own family as a metaphor, “we shall lead the children of the world to a brighter, freer future in the light of Communism not through violent conflict and encouraging harsh guerrilla conflict.<br/><br/>“Simply put, when states are dependent on us they shall follow our steps. To break free from the shackles of class warfare. To feel themselves become free of monetary debt as the corruption of money is swept away and every man can give and take from the system as according to his own individual virtues.<br/><br/>“It is friends China needs and not enemies.”<br/><br/>“Opening the nation to foreigners can only lead to rampant corruption!” Xhu boomed, “It is not the foreigners rights to enter China and to engage in two-way exchanges. It is this relationship that had seen the decline of our people in the last century! It is this that is the naivety of a foolish man. And not the stalwart strength of a proud revolutionary. And I should hope that you are not a fool!” Xhu turned, sneering at Auyi from under thinning brows.<br/><br/>“Retain civility.” the moderator reminded, “In change of subject, what is the Chinese commitment in Russia, to stay on the topic of the international world.”<br/><br/>“Our mission in Russia is coming to an end.” Auyi affirmed confidently, “Soon it will come to a point that the Russian people can manage the conflict and to see the unification of Russia in liberated freedom. Too many young Chinese have lost their lives in the north. We should bring them home.<br/><br/>“But China should not abandon its commitments in Russia. And withdrawing from it will not be a betrayal of friendship. A process of withdrawal will be had. Where the strength and power of Chinese troops will be filled by Russian ranks. Material assistance will be made to the Russians. But it is their solemn duty to finish the mission. So that they may have pride in themselves, and not feel the pinch of being used by a foreign entity. That is a truth we too horribly know for ourselves as a collective.”<br/><br/>“Our commitment is until the end!” Auyi declared, “We will stand side-by-side by our enlightened brothers until the end. For that is our commitment. And with them, we will go further.”</div>"

She had just finished typing a letter destined to Marcos del Piñon, her Spanish counterpart. She was mildly confident that he would consent to Persia's demand that his country leave the Hejaz unsullied. The strip of land held no strategic value to the Spaniards, and the remaining Ethiopian troops were hardly a threat. On the other hand, if the Spaniards did set foot in Djedda and Mecca, Persia could not but consider itself under threat. Mecca was just a few hours drive from Riyadh along the highway, and from there, practically on the shores of the Persian gulf. <br/><br/>The letter went as follows:<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">Esteemed Sir,<br/><br/>Our two nations have long shared cordial relations, which I hope to maintain as long as possible. We have, certainly, a mutual understanding, which it is my wish to preserve.<br/><br/>It is to this effect that I address to you, my esteemed colleague, this request. In the conflict which opposes the Spanish Republic to the Pan-African Imperial Union, your country has recently moved troops to the vicinity of the Red Sea. While the State of Persia has no intention to interfere with this affair, my government has been concerned that the cities of Mecca and Medina, which are supremely important to my people as well as all Muslims the world over, might be invested by the troops of your country. <br/><br/>Furthermore, my government could perceive such an action, in light of the present request, as a hostile act endangering the vital interests of the Persian State. As I have stressed, I wish anything but a souring of the ties which unite our two countries.<br/><br/>We must not forget that the Pan-African army currently fields very few units in Arabia; its presence there confines to ordinary policing, and in no case represents a threat to your country.<br/><br/>For these reasons, and recognizing that a military occupation might trigger uncontrollable reactions throughout the Middle East, and particularly among the Persian public opinion, I ask, amicably, for a strong guarantee that the Hejaz will remain untouched by the Spanish army. <br/><br/>I am confident that you will see the sensibility of this request, and will not miss the opportunity to strengthen ties between our nations by demonstrating the goodwill of the Spanish government.<br/><br/>Leyla Kowsar, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of His Imperial Majesty the Shah of Persia.</blockquote><br/></div>"

Here's something quick I drew in <a href=""http://imgur.com/Vye8W1q"" rel=""nofollow"">Imgur</a> to try and explain how the Main Street/Freedom Square thing is going)<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Main Street, Freedom Square, Batumi</span><br/><br/>The screams of fear and pain echoed across the square but they were only met with the gunshots of the Adjaran army, who had concealed themselves behind a blockade of trucks and steel sheets.<br/><br/>The guard tower, a remnant of the Ottoman colonialism, was now smouldering softly in the fading light of evening. An officer shouted for someone to put it out as the soldiers picked off stragglers who remained on the streets surrounding the square. The statue of the former Sultan, which in the Guards eyes was a symbol of oppression and occupation, had been the target for the protesters. Where a petrol bomb had found it's target in the guards tower, the same could not be said for the statue. The failed attempts of knocking chunks from it lay around the brass statue in the form of bricks and other missiles, which had all missed their target. The statue of Sultan Suleiman still stood in the centre of Freedom Square, its eyes staring blankly at the dark, cloudy sky but its brass sword pointed at the cream cobbled ground, daring anyone to disobey it.<br/><br/>The main street was littered with the dead and dying, some still clutching their missiles or weapons, others with looks of defiance forever frozen onto their dark faces. The protesters who survived the initial onslaught had fled and they darted between the sharp alleyways that circled the square, lost and leaderless. As terrified people streamed past, the Guard had taken positions along the street, sheltering in alcoves, doorways of abandoned shops, alleyways and even behind the dry fountain. Rifles flashed in the darkness as the militiamen remaining men took potshots at the barricade.<br/><br/>In a nearby alley, Davit Patarava, founder and commander of the Georgian Guard, screamed in pain as the bullet was wrenched out of his arm. ""Fuck sakes, Donauri!"" roared Davit, his teeth clenched and his fist bashing off the wall in pain. ""Sir, you're doing very well"" murmured Donauri as he examined the bloody bullet held in his pale, albeit bloody, fingers. A sharp knife had been stuck inside his commanders arm to pull wrench a stray bullet out. The bullet, a hunk of twisted metal covered in blood, was dropped into a small, glass jar. The medic adjusted his glasses and then turned back to his patient. ""See? The worst bit is over. We've pulled the bullet out, now we just have to clean the wound..."" said the doctor, his soft voice barely heard over the infrequent gunfire. Just metres away, a battle was beginning to boil between the Guard and the Adjaran Army. Davit groaned, laying back onto the muddy ground. Donauri searched through his briefcase before pulling out a bottle of Polish vodka. <br/><br/>""Jesus Christ..."" winced Davit, preparing himself for the pain. ""This might hurt a bit"" said the medic. With the speed of a cheetah, he pulled the bullet wound open and poured the vodka inside. Davit screamed in pain and desperately tried to pull him arm away from Donauri, who's cold, iron grip was simply too powerful. Tears burned the corners of his eyes as he bashed his closed fist onto the ground, the searing pain in his arm almost too much to handle.<br/><br/>""Oh, hush, it's almost over now"" said Donauri sharply, wiping away excess alcohol from the wound with a cloth. A vein pulsated on Davits temple and beads of sweat formed around his round, unshaven face. ""Just fucking finish it up"" growled Davit, wiping his balding, sweat-soaked hair with his free hand. The medic pressed the wound together, squeezing out any remaining blood and then began wrapping it tightly in a white bandage. ""Now, Davit, this is only temporary. First thing tomorrow, I want you to go to a proper doctor and get this fixed up"" said the medic sternly. Davit only nodded, wiping the tears from his eyes with his free thumb and forefinger. ""Chin up. You lost a bit of blood but you'll be fine after you've seen a real doctor. I've cleaned it up and wrapped it but there's still a chance it'll go septic. So, next time, try to dodge the bullets!"" said Donauri, smiling. <br/><br/>His voice was as soft as his hands and his medical history was murky at best - but he seemed to know what he was talking about. He helped Patarava into a sitting position against a wall and handed him a flask of water. ""Drink it slowly"" said the Medic, closing his briefcase and standing to his feet. ""Thanks, mate"" grunted Davit, gulping down the water like he hadn't drunk any in months. ""You might of saved my life"" ""Yes, well, make sure you see a real doctor as soon as possible"" said Donauri, secretly relishing the praise that the commander gave him.<br/><br/>At the mouth of the alleyway, a group of Guards skidded around the corner and jumped out of the street as a volley of machine gun bullets tore down the street. There were seven of them, the oldest in his fourties, the youngest barely out of boyhood. They wore a patchwork of salvaged Turkish and old Georgian army uniforms and carrried a collection of weaponry from across the Middle East. As was customary in the Guard, a First Georgian Republic flag was sewn on the sleeves and their rank was sewn onto the material above their hearts. The oldest of the group, a grizzled veteran with a salt-and-pepper beard, approached Davit and Donauri wearily in the darkness. ""Sir?"" he asked, his unit crowding behind him. <br/><br/>""Yeah, I'm here"" said Davit from the ground, lifting his good arm in greeting. The captain winced at the sight of his injured superior. Davit Patarava had never been an impressive man - he was slightly overweight, unshaven and was usually found in his dressing gown with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.  But on this evening, he looked worse than usual. His right sleeve was entirely torn off and his upper arm wrapped in a white bandage. His face was slick with sweat and his eyes were red from rubbing the tears from his eyes. His rusted rifle lay against the wall, carefully placed there while Donauri had pulled the Commander in from the shooting.<br/><br/>""Sir, what do we do? They've set up a machine gun  in the barricades and our shots aren't hitting their targets!"" said the younger private from the Guard. ""Report, captain. Tell me what the hell has happened in the last half an hour"" grunted Davit, ignoring the boy and sipping some more water. The captain stood to attention. <br/><br/>""Sir, the Occupying Forces have barricaded the main road to Freedom Square with army trucks, sheets of metal and barbed wire. Upon the protesters approaching the barricade, the Occupying Forces fired upon the crowd, slaughtering several people and injuring many more. The protesters, along with the Trade Unions, have abandoned the square and left the units of Georgian Guards to clean up the mess. Our men have taken shelter in the alleys and doorways along the street and are now concentrating fire upon the barricades. However, we've reached a stalemate. We cannot shoot over the barricades and the Occupying Forces cannot hit our men"" recited the captain.<br/><br/>""Hm. What's your name, Captain?"" said Davit, examining the inside of the empty water flask. ""Captain Laren Bakradze, sir"" replied the Captain. ""All right, Captain Bakradze. Tonight, the Georgian Guard is taking over Freedom Square, with or without the physical support of the people. Tonight, the statue of Suleiman will fall, if it fucking kills me. Pass that message on to as many units as you can. I want two units to snake around and flank the Turks from the other side of square. Then, I want you to split your unit - or whatever is left of it - into two and I want you to get into the shops that run up the sides of the street. These shops usually have two or three stories - get as high as you can and start seeing if you can snipe those bastard Turks out from behind their barricades.""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir"" chorused the unit, saluting their fallen leader. ""What about you, sir?"" asked Captain Bakradze. ""Will you join us?"" Davit snorted. ""Fuck that, I've just been shot. I'm going to rest for a while. No, I'll lead the attack with the remaining two units on this street and try to smash through to the square from the front. Now, go on, Captain, you've got your orders. Try not to get shot crossing the bloody road, either"". The unit all saluted and turn to the mouth of the alley, where the glanced out carefully. They waited for a lull in the gunfire before darting off into the darkness.<br/><br/>""Sir, I don't think it's wise for you to lead a full-on attack on the front of the square with the condition your arm is in"" said Donauri, crouching beside his leader and poking his arm carefully. ""Yeah but I don't want my own men thinking I'm a coward""<br/><br/>""They already think I'm crazy for doing this in the first place.""</div>"

The weather was calm. The sea crooned on the edge of the pebble-strewn beach, and near the horizon the sun shone pale through the lingering humidity left behind by the storm. A cool breeze blew across the sea from the North-East, tempering the equatorial heat. After all that she had been through, she allowed herself to feel at peace.<br/><br/>She wore a grey ankle-length tunic borrowed from the natives, and it hung loose enough to let the breeze cool her skin. Her borrowed sandals sat at the foot of a leafy baobab tree, and she hazarded the pebbles and rocks so that she could feel the smooth white sand against her feet. Tewodros and Olivier played with the native children at the edge of the surf, building sand-domes and decorating them with seashells. She watched them from the corner of her eye, making sure she knew where her son was at all times, but she had another reason to be on the beach this morning. <br/><br/>Two tiny yellow crabs scurried by as she searched for good stones on the ground. Only the best stones would do, and she inspected them thoroughly before choosing whether or not accept them. Those she took went to the construction of a simple cairn on the tide-line. She had been stacking the perfect stones since dawn, and the cairn had continued to grow until it stood at breast height. It was the best she could do to ensure that Elani had a monument on this island, so near to where she had perished.<br/><br/>Elani had never been a strong woman. She lacked the tenacity of the great women that Ethiopia had produced, possessing neither the power of Taytu Betul, the Queen she had named her only daughter for, nor the spiritual certainty of the rebel Zewditu, who had nearly brought down Iyasu during the Great War. But where she hadn't been strong, she made up for in her kindness. Azima had came to the Imperial court as a little girl, torn away from her mother by a father who had no interest in her. In that time, it was Elani who took her in and played the parent. In many ways, Azima loved her more than she did her own father. <br/><br/>Elani had been born to one of the minor nobles of old Ethiopia, a family that had stayed loyal to Iyasu during his reforms, and their reward had been the marriage of their daughter to the Emperor's only surviving son. Her new family became her entire life as she raised three children and a fourth misplaced little girl under the shady eucalyptuses of Imperial Ethiopia. When Iyasu died, Yohannes had ascended the throne and Elani became a Queen.<br/><br/>And when Yohannes died fifteen years later by the bullet of an unknown assassin, Elani's happiness was over. The following years slowly killed the person that she was as she saw one son go to war with another, the first one to disappear into the wilderness and the second one to nearly die from another would-be assassin. It had been too much for her, and it destroyed her mind. In some ways, her unexpected death had been a mercy. Azima could only hope that it had been painless.<br/><br/>The Queen stood in silence in front of cairn. She knew that it was time to leave, but it was difficult to pull herself away. Once she left this spot, it would be saying goodbye to Elani forever. Instead, she allowed herself to be carried away by a day dream.<br/><br/>Under a rustling baobab tree, with children chattering on the edge of the murmuring equatorial sea, Azima dreamed about her childhood. She remembered climbing trees, and eating sweets in the garden. She remembered the woman that would be her mother-in-law later in life teaching her how to drink coffee on the veranda with her ladies, and standing closely by as she petted one of the lions in the Emperor's menagerie. The morning crawled, and Azima remembered. <br/><br/>Her day-dream was broken by the growl of a four-wheel drive antique. It was Polish built, one of the old post-war cars they sold in small numbers to the ruined West European economies after the Great War. They had sold well in the undeveloped world, where there were few good roads for a normal vehicle to travel. It was tub-shaped, a rusted black boat on thick tires with only a windshield and old-style pop out headlights to break its strange outline. There were signs that this one had been patched up several times by crafty Socotrans. <br/><br/>Two stick-thin men with stick-thin mustaches rode in the car, one at the drivers wheel and the other standing on the floorboard like an ancient Assyrian on a chariot. He was waving to get her attention, and they stopped near enough to the water that the spray lapped at their wheels.<br/><br/>""Good Queen!"" the standing man shouted. ""The Chinese have been contacted! They will be coming here!""<br/><br/>""Are you sure they were Chinese?"" she asked. She was nervous about the native's ability to call for help. It seemed risky, considering that there were Spaniards about, but they had insisted she stay hidden in the countryside until they send for help. With nothing to her name now but her son, there had been no other choice but to accept and believe in their confidence.<br/><br/>""I did not talk to them, but I am told it is China. If it is not, we will know. It is the fishermen who communicate the message.""<br/><br/>She imagined a string of HAM radios on the back of wooden sail boats. How else could they be involved? Surely they were not sailing to Pemba and back so quickly.<br/><br/>""That is good. Before they come, I have one more thing to do."" the Queen requested. ""Take me and the children to see the priests.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sitting at the long dining table, Sen Zhou sat hunched over a bowl of simple white rice. The taste as bland and inoffensive as the bland and sapped of life as the walls of the ship's interior. It carried no flare, or prestige in particular. It just was. It only had its own purpose, like the ship. It wasn't made to dazzle or surprise, but to just execute its own thing.<br/><br/>All along the side of the officer sat equally hunched sailors, pilots and soldiers eating from the same drab lunch meal. Scattered throughout the rest of the narrow lunch hall the fishermen leveed into the search for Azima's downed aircraft sat partaking in the same free meal as the rest. It had been a while since they went on the search and still all they uncovered were drifting debris. And somewhere floating at sea where those damnable priests.<br/><br/>Zhou tried to shut them out of her mind. She had sentenced them to die. Among the lingering anger that plagued her mind the last thing she needed was conflicting guilt for calling the order. So she shut it out. Let the old men dive into the great dark sea below for whatever insane purpose they did. Maybe they'd find their God, drowned and waterlogged at the bottom of the sea. Then they could realize how hopeless their faith was.<br/><br/>She looked back down at her plate of sterile white rice, and took a pinch with the tips of her chopsticks. Without ceremony she chewed on the steamed grains. She desperately wanted something to change in this mission, before the Spanish came as well to confirm or collect. There was a lingering doubt that for whatever they could bring the Chinese here couldn't well fight. She sighed deep stabbing the bowl of rice again.<br/><br/>The situation in Djibouti hadn't gone much better as radio reports went. There was a burning jealousy she had for the men there. They got to see real combat. She was cut away from that. It was the same funny feeling she had when she was withdrawn from the Philippines. The nagging internal conflict some veterans felt with their action. The diametrically conflicting relationship they had for war. On one hand: wanting to be free of it when in the field, on the other wanting to be back in it when they were free of it.<br/><br/>Many would consider being here at sea to be a vacation. But it hardly felt it.<br/><br/>From the other side of the mess hall the door opened. Catching it in the corner of her vision Zhou looked up mid-bites to find one of the communications officers step in. On the far side of the room he stood lost among the crowd, scanning the heads of the sailors and airmen present. He looked passed Zhou, but then on his return back found her and walked across the room.<br/><br/>“Zhoong Xiao,” he started as he came up to earshot, “We received a message from the bridge not long ago.”<br/><br/>“Yes, and?” Zhou responded, “Are the Spanish coming?”<br/><br/>“No, comrade.” bowed the officer, “We believe it involves the Queen, Azima.” Zhou stopped eating and looked up at him, eyes intense as she starred up.<br/><br/>“Some fishermen from the island of Socotra made contact over the radio. They have in their village Azima.”<br/><br/>Zhou sat frozen in disbelief. Someone found the empress? Hastily pushing aside her pull of rice she sat up from the table. “Get me a crew and fill me in on the way!” she demanded, “We're going to close up shop. Let's go.”<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The salty air had not done no favors for the Polish off-roader, and the decaying suspension jostled them back and forth when the driver accelerated across the uneven beach. Azima held the children close to her, afraid that they might spill from the cab if they were allowed out of her grip. She sat tensely in her seat, grimacing with every bump, and she watched the sea to pass the time.<br/><br/>A thin line of storm debris sullied the beach and marked the tide line. Toward the land, the beach became rough and climbed into rocky hills. Toward the water, the beach was smooth, clean, and white. The sea itself was cleared of the murk that had been left by the storm. It returned to its native color; the tropical bright blue of clear shimmering water above alabaster sands. It was a warm look, an environment of profound relaxation, and she drank in every bit of it. China would mean safety, she knew this, but it would also be an exile that would put her to work. Azima and her children would become the face of the embattled Africans to a politically foreign east. <br/><br/>When a cliff-face crossed over the beach and blocked their way, the driver took to a goat path that meandered into the hills. She recognized this place. It was where she had wandered aimlessly looking for her children two nights before. She scanned for the driftwood she had stacked in a failed attempt to start a fire that night, but she did not find it. It was only when they passed the abandoned stone house that her recognition was confirmed. <br/><br/>They went across the rocky path at the lowest part of the ridge, swerving around umbrella-shaped dragons blood trees and bloated baobabs. A camel stood near the path and caused the driver to take a wide berth through rougher terrain, which shook the car so fiercely that she banged her elbow into the wheel well, causing a spark of pain to shoot up her arm. The animal watched impassively as they went around, chewing its cud and staring with empty ruminant eyes. <br/><br/>They descended into a green valley where a shallow stream trickled toward the sea. As she looked across the scrubby hills, he realized something. She was leaving Africa, the continent that had been home for her entire life. She wasn't even sure if Socotra counted as part of Africa, but to her it felt like it was. It was familiar. Here was the wide open equatorial landscape that she knew from the mainland, where dark-skinned children lived rural lives in small villages across an endless agricultural world of its very own. This island was a place in touch with its ancestors, where lives had not changed passed the occasional convenience since the arrival of the first stone-aged humans on its pristine shore. Where she was going after this she did not know. China was something else. If Africa and Socotra stood for an idealistic past, China was the future. It was a land of progress where nothing would be familiar to her. She had never considered herself a conservative person, nor had she ever felt especially sentimental, but the violence of this change shook her. Her transitory conservatism was a feeling of emotional nakedness, like what was happening was out of her control. It was the feeling of wanting to find a womb somewhere and crawl inside. <br/><br/>Perhaps that was what happened to Elani, the thing that caused her to lose her mind. Azima was a different Queen, and she was made of stronger stuff. She had fought in the last war, toe to toe against the enemy. In this war, she would fight in a different way. She pulled Tewodros closer to herself and shook the uncertainty from her mind the best that she could. It was a mental state she would have to fight against so that she could stay strong for her child, and for her country. <br/><br/>The driver slowed to a creep when they joined the stream bed, as if he was afraid the centimeter-deep water might drown the engine. Azima watched the beach come back into view between the steep scrubby hills. Near the tide-line, she spotted a fragile driftwood hut and a thin line of grey woodsmoke rising from a cookfire. <br/><br/>The car choked to a stop in front of the fire. Azima climbed out, her limbs shaky from the ride, and she saw one of the priests come from behind the hut. He was thin, bruised, and covered in shredded rags. He had lost his sword, and in its stead he held a driftwood cudgel.<br/><br/>""Queen. It is good that you are alive."" he said politely, but with am aloof chilliness that came off as almost malicious. The priests had spent their lives dedicated to God, and these men were amongst the most fervent of their type. Where there is obsession, there is always some lack of social aptitude, and the priests showed this to be true. The malice she detected was, she accepted, likely nothing more than awkwardness.<br/><br/>""It is good to see you as well, though I heard that your brothers were alive."" she peaked out toward the sea, ""Where are they?""<br/><br/>""Swimming."" he said. He eyed the natives suspiciously, and his cudgel arm hung tense. <br/><br/>""Swimming? It is a lovely day I suppose."" <br/><br/>""Not for recreation, Queen."" he answered quickly. ""We are still on duty, as you might say, and our charge is out there."" he motioned toward the sea with his cudgel.<br/><br/>The Ark. They were looking for the Ark. She should have known they would, but in her mind it was as lost as the plane that had carried them. It struck her as odd how flippant she was being over such an important relic, but she had never been anymore than nominally religious, having inherited an almost secular form of cultural Islam from her father. She wasn't even sure if she really believed at all, or if her religiosity added up to nothing more than an innate belief in some sort of Allah and a warm deference to any mosque she happened to pass by. <br/><br/>""Do you know where the Tabot is?"" she asked. A lump formed in her throat. If they knew where the wreck was, they might know where Elani's body was. <br/><br/>He hesitated to answered. ""No, we do not. I saw a glimmer when I went out last, so we are looking in that direction.""<br/><br/>She nodded. She felt relieved for an instant, and that made her ashamed. Why was she afraid of finding Elani? <br/><br/>""I have something to..."" she started to say, but she was cut off when Tewodros began to howl.<br/><br/>Her motherly instinct kicked in and she swung down to where he was. Him and Olivier had been crouched down next to the cook fire, where a curled sliver of silver metal sat suspended above the fire. On it was the pink and white flesh of a crab firming over the heat. <br/><br/>""What did you do?"" she said, worried. She saw where he had blistered his finger and understood at once. <br/><br/>""I burning!"" he cried. ""I burning!"" she held him in her arms and sucked on his finger. From the corner of her eye, she saw Olivier reach out with his good arm to snatch a bite of crab, and she shot him a look that stopped him in his tracks.<br/><br/>When she looked back up, she saw that one of the swimmers had returned. Before he went to swim, he had removed all of his clothes save for a linen breach-cloth which, soaked with sea water, hid absolutely nothing from sight. She looked away. <br/><br/>He approached them and, when he saw her, he quickly found his dry robe and tossed it about himself. ""Queen."" he said abruptly. <br/><br/>""I was wanting to tell you."" she began, bouncing Tewodros to keep him occupied. ""That the Chinese have arrived. I can arrange to get you transport.""<br/><br/>""We cannot go anywhere."" one priest said.<br/><br/>""Not without the Holy Tabot."" the other one said, crossing himself. Water dripped from his stringy hair.<br/><br/>""Are you going to live right here?"" she asked, surprised. ""On the beach?""<br/><br/>""Yes."" one priest said.<br/><br/>""The natives are Moslem. They would not understand."" the other said.<br/><br/>She nodded. ""And when you do find it, how are you going to get it out of the water.""<br/><br/>""I do not know, but I have faith that God will show us the way."" the dry priest said. ""We cannot ask the natives, as we have told you. And we cannot ask the Chinese because they are non-believers. And besides that, they are unhappy with us.""<br/><br/>""They are unhappy with you?"" Azima asked, bewildered.<br/><br/>""Yes. When they came looking for the wreck, they found us at sea and left us there.""<br/><br/>""Left you?"" she asked, suddenly concerned. What had happened since the wreck that the Chinese would be cold to them.<br/><br/>""They were arrogant, and so I corrected them."" the wet priest informed. ""Non-believers do not have the right to talk as the Chinese do. God cannot will such a thing, and a man of God cannot abide it.""<br/><br/>""Arrogant."" she nodded. Truly, the priests were no diplomats. She hoped they had not ruined it for her and her children.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The warm salty air of the ocean swept into the helicopter cabin as it sped over the waves of the ocean. The sky was clear, and peering through the cabin window Sen Zhou could look out into the horizon for several clear miles. Unimpeded by storm clouds, rain, or the drab walls of ship-bound imprisonment. And there was among the crew a excited hum. A silent tensity that spoke of returning to Pemba. A restrained hope for warm food and no sea sickness. And to be rid of the Somalian fishermen.<br/><br/>“Are we still on course?” Zhou asked, restraining the bubbling juvenile excitement. Setting out into the hot sun of the African coast she had set aside the discomfort of dress code, opening the top buttons of her uniform, her collar flapped in the air filling the open cabin. It was a relief against the eager sweat that soaked into her uniform's undershirt hugging her tightly kept breasts.<br/><br/>Her black hair also trailed untamed in the twirling wind and she smiled, round cheeks flush with excitement as they flew against the reflection of the sea. This was their best lead and she wouldn't now be doomed to looking at wreckage in the water. If this course was clear: then there would be no more pieces of aircraft cabin, no aircraft seats, and no shredded cloth. It can all drown as it became waterlogged.<br/><br/>“So far in: yes.” the pilot replied. His head almost completely enclosed by the bulbous, beetle-like pilot's helmet. Tinted shades gave off a almost monolithic, emotionless look to his face. Only his nose to chin were open to the air. And even then it might be shut away by a face-mask designed to muffle the noise of action when using the radio.<br/><br/>“You told me the same thing the comm officers told you.” he continued, “The island of Socotra. Natives called in and said they have Azima and are willing to see her off safely.”<br/><br/>Zhou smiled giddily. She was less worried about straying off course, and more excited to have the lead. Much so she pried and asked. Simply wanting to hear it again and again.<br/><br/>“Eyes open, we're coming up on the island.” the co-pilot called out. Herself another military woman. Zhou looked up into the horizon. In the distance loomed the pencil-thin dash of a landmass over the waves. Its color and form disguised by the distance and the haze of sky and sea. But it was there.<br/><br/>She giggled excitedly to herself, and wringing her hands tight on the pilot's chairs pushed herself back into the cabin.<br/><br/>She had only with her two other soldiers who sat placated at the chopper's edge. Their rifles slung casually on their backs without even so much as their magazines loaded.<br/><br/>Under the speeding chopper the color of the water changed over from deep-sea blue. Shifting over towards lighter turquoise as the shallow sands rose to meet the surface. An arid, tropical landscape rose over the waves. Dotted with many trees so bulbous and swollen at their bases they were much like melting candles left to wilt on the rocks. Brown and red rocks marched and rose as sentries over the sand of the beach and the scrub of the rising highlands. Twisting two-tracks snaked along the coast without logical direction or bearing.<br/><br/>The coastal scrub land soon gave way into dusty hills dotted by the sentries of baobab trees. The rush of the leaves and scraggly, twisted bushes rushed under neath them as they sped across the desert landscape. Searching the ground and the horizon for a sign or indication of civilization. Somewhere to stop and chase their leads.<br/><br/>“This is Wu Chang,” the pilot said, lifting the covered radio microphone to his mouth. “Of Chinese naval helicopter group A01 out of Pemba. Calling to request information on the location of one Princess Azima, over.”<br/><br/>He relaxed his hand on the microphone. Zhou looked down at him as he listened, hoping that whoever had brokered contact with them knew Chinese and was still there.<br/><br/>There was a strained awkward silence from the pilot as they rose over the rising red mountains of Socotra's interior. “Pemba. Azima. Nuqadah.” he shouted into the microphone. Zhou rose a curious brow.<br/><br/>“I didn't know you could speak Arabic.” she observed interested.<br/><br/>“I lived among the Hui of Beijing.” the pilot replied dead-pan.<br/><br/>“Do you know where Azima is then?” she asked.<br/><br/>“No.” scoffed the pilot, unpleasant and annoyed, “But I know someone who does.” he sighed as he banked the helicopter about. He nodded into the distance over the ridges to a faint and hazy radio tower.<br/><br/>With the aircraft's course changed, they flew north-west over the mountains. Beyond the rocky cliffs, settled in the lowland sat a small town. Marked by white-washed buildings that shone in the warm summer sun and the single minaret of a mosque, dwarfed only by the great distances between them and it.<br/><br/>The helicopter banked about the radio tower outside the city as it searched for a landing place. In the lush wet-season growth below a simple hut stood among palms and cypress trees. A dirt two-track split the growth in two as it wound through rocky hills at the foot of the mountains. Rushing out into open, stricken and bewildered men ran out into the sun as they looked up at the descending chopper.<br/><br/>Zhou hung out the door as she looked down at the gawking Arabs standing in the grass below. The foliage rippled and danced furiously in the down thrust of the lowering aircraft. Darting and shouting, they ran about in confused disorder before the Chinese touched down.<br/><br/>“Azima!?” Zhou shouted, almost stupidly. But with any hope these men would remember why they were here. There was a sense of timid fear of the groaning dark-green comma that now rested on the ground before them. Its twirling rotors kicked up a stormy cyclone of air, even resting.<br/><br/>But in coming to terms, or some other realization a man ran forward. “Azima!” he cheered excitedly, “Maleeka!” he smiled nervously as he approached the helicopter.<br/><br/>“Get in, get in!” Zhou invited impatiently, throwing out a hand to pull him in. He grabbed her hand with insecure hesitation as he was pulled inside.<br/><br/>“Assalaam alaikum.” the pilot welcomed from the pilot's seat. The welcome caught the man off guard and nearly stunned him in such a way he might have fallen out of the aircraft as the engine's motor roared to a greater ferocity as they lifted off.<br/><br/>“W-wassalaam alaikum.” the Socotran replied distantly frightened and twitchy as he sat between the two indifferent, if armed Chinese soldiers in back with him. He even looked up to Zhou with a curious and awkward look on his face, as if expecting something different.<br/><br/>The pilot called back to him, asking a question. Zhou didn't know if what he was saying was correct in any way and for all purposes she hoped that it was what they needed. A sneaky bug suggested the good fortune of all of this. But forcefully she cast the thought aside, reminding herself that some asset officer saw the need to equip her with a crew with one Arab speaker at least. It hardly mattered to her where he learned it, or how much of it he knew. So long as he knew.<br/><br/>There was a certain confidence in the Socotran though as he babbled direction in his foreign tongue to the pilot. Even nervous and anxious being surrounded by the foreign Chinese he pointed and shouted from the back of the cabin where he fearfully gripped the cold metal walls as they lifted off and flew down along the coast.<br/><br/>His face went as pale as the settlement below as he looked over to watch the coastal town pass by through the open cabin doors. Zhou imagined this had to be the first time he ever saw a helicopter, never mind riding in one. He was twitchy, and his knuckles and fingers glowed white-hot as he held on for dear life to stay in his naked metal seat.<br/><br/>Zhou looked up from their civilian passenger. The conversation he held with the pilot wasn't her world, as much as she hated not knowing it. But it had to be. The northern waters off of Socotra shone in the sun and the twisting and swaying landscape of the coast below slithered like a snake. Following its path to a t was the road, cutting a serpentine path at the water's edge.<br/><br/>Their passenger stood up from his cheat, and pointing began to exclaim something in Arabic. Pointing down below to stood a simple hut, a pencil-thin trail of smoke trailed up into the sky from a fire in the yard. And gathered around it stood figures, and nearby an old automobile. They descended for their landing.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Azima covered her eyes and held the children close to her as she watched a desert brown helicopter land on the beach. The only sound anybody could hear was the rushing whine of helicopter blades, which sent a gust of air rushing in every direction around them. Sand was whipped into Azima's eyes, and her hair tangled in front of her face so that she could not see. She could feel the thick cloth of her simple woolen villagers dress slapping at her shins.<br/><br/>""Are Azima place?"" she heard over the slowing helicopter motor. It was a broken dialect of Arabic, understandable but painfully foreign to her.<br/><br/>""Yes"" she answered pitifully. Her lips were gritty with sand, and she discreetly tried to spit them clear. With one hand, she cleared the sand-stung tears from her eyes and looked up.<br/><br/>A shaking Socotran jumped out of the helicopter and squatted on the ground nearby. His face was distant and strained, the expression of a man trying to regain his bearings. An Asian woman sat in the front of the craft, and two more stood outside. The first of the two was a man with a smooth face below a clunky helmet and aviator goggles. The second was a butch looking female. She appeared military to the heart, wearing a thick brown-green uniform unbuttoned only near the top to reveal a small hint of sweat-soaked undershirt. Her hair was cut short, and she had shoulders that made her bust look out of place in the barrel of her torso. All three of the Chinese had tanned olive complexions, and sweat pooled on their exposed skin.<br/><br/>She realized suddenly what she must look like. With a borrowed local's dress covered in sand, her ink-black hair tangled in knots around her head, and squinting eyes made watery by the wind, she must look a mess.<br/><br/>""I am Azi..."" she began to add, but the two priests cut her off. They came in front of her, and her words caught in her throat when she realized what was happening.<br/><br/>In the hands of the two priests were sticks of driftwood; their makeshift cudgels. <br/><br/>""It is not just."" the dry one challenged, ""For <span class=""bb-i"">you</span> to land so near that you threaten the sanctity of this place. Do you not understand that this is the veil of the Holy Tabot?""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Zhou looked up from the woman in the simple dress, she must have been Azima: there were no other women around. But her dress and demeanor surprised her, when she was sent off in search of a queen, she expected the regalia as such. The sort of misplaced regalia of the Empresses of dynastic China had come to mind with long golden dragon robes and the ancient veiled hats. But what stood on the beach was by many accounts a figure that resembled a simple commoner with frayed filthy hair and a loose shoddy simply dress. She felt a terrible tinge of distress that this was not the right woman. But she might be a courtier of some kind, and the real queen was hidden away from the sun in one of the huts.<br/><br/>Though when she made her introduction Zhou didn't need for her to finish to realize with mixed emotion that she was not a simple peasant girl. It was only conflicted by who was in her company.<br/><br/>Stepping between her and Azima the wet priests that she had left to die at sea crossed onto the sand between them, their swords thrown away in favor of driftwood clubs. Her confusion melted away at the burning touch of anger and annoyance that came to fill her chest so much, it began to tickle the back of her tongue. She fought to restrain any drama as she addressed them, “Bullshit, I'm just here to get Azima.” she snarled, withholding her spite with shaky chains. Her Ahmaric was forced and stressed.<br/><br/> Her shoulders tensed as she leaned back, arms crossed. The two soldiers looked up at her confused, their arms raising as if expecting a brawl, or orders.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""By the sacred name of the House of David and Solomon, I demand that you stop this."" Azima commanded. The possibility of a fight had been a surprise, but she would not let it go further. She brushed the hair from her eyes and picked her son off the ground, holding him so he was at face level with the priests. They did not fail to get the message.<br/><br/>When the priests parted away from her, she saw that the Socotran had stood up, and he had balled his fists in preparation for a brawl.<br/><br/>""Holy men."" she continued. He voice was gentler now. ""Do you want to go to China with us and be safe?""<br/><br/>""Oh Queen."" the wet priest replied. ""You know that we cannot do this. We have to stay here and save the tabot.""<br/><br/>She smiled. ""I will respect your wishes, but I must go with the heir. I wish you luck.""<br/><br/>""God bless you."" the priests replied in unison. ""God bless you as well."" she replied.<br/><br/>She held Tewodros in one arm and held Olivier's hand with the other. Confident in herself, she approached the Chinese in a slow walk that had all the grace of a glide. ""We are ready to go."" she said, ""Wherever it is that you are bidden to take us, though we hope it is to Beijing. Chairman Hou is expecting us, you see.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sen Zhou nodded, smiling. Her hands moved to her hip as the Empress drew near.<br/><br/>""I'm zhoong xiao Zhou,"" she introducing herself, ""These are my men.""<br/><br/>Looking up past Azima to the anxious priests who glowered in their wet robes at the Chinese aircraft she let off a sly, victorious sneer. ""Our flight plan however won't take us to Beijing."" she continued, turning back to Azima and the children with her as she helped them onto the helicopter, ""We have a boat to catch to Pemba. Then you can leave for Beijing.""<br/><br/></div>"
22155,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-07-25 03:51:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><div class=""bb-h1"">Africa</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Pemba Island</div><br/><br/>In the corner of the drab unadorned room a fan clattered. Weakly circulating a hot humid air through the room. It was a false comfort, but one all the same. The sound of the distant pounding waves of the ocean just off the coast provided a backdrop to the crack of live-fire drills and the rumble of distant airplane engines. All these sounds were the backdrop of Pemba, and much normalized to Sen Zhou as she sat at the spartan metal-frame chair in the center of the room.<br/><br/>Across from her, separated by several meters of empty space sat a desk occupied by a brick of a tape-recorder. She recognized the device as an audio log for debriefings. It was certainly something she sat through and observed the debriefings of sergeants reporting on the unapproved duties of bored enlisted types. The sort of frolicking misbehavior brought upon by putting youthful testosterone on a equatorial island with nothing to do.<br/><br/>And now she sat looking at it. It was no crime on her part and she felt no quilt or emotion to the familiar device and its simple red radio buttons. If anything, through her career in knowing this they had certainly gotten smaller. She remembered at the end of Mindanao she'd sat in a room with a single large tank of a piece of military recording equipment to give detail the after-action reports for the Filipino government. Somehow she'd got caught up in their original furor over the assassination of the rebellious and self-described Pope in Mindanao. But now that machine had become big enough to fit on a desk.<br/><br/>How curious things were developing.<br/><br/>Alongside the desk stood her superior officer. Dezhi Cao stood by waiting patiently, picking at stray grime and sand under neath his finger nails with a distant and inattentive look in his browning eyes. He hadn't been sleeping well these last couple nights, Zhou noted as she looked at him from the debriefing chair. His eyes were darker and sagged. It wasn't hard to know that what was happening to the north was wearing in on him.<br/><br/>“How'v things been here on the home front?” Zhou asked with a polite smile. The question visibly startled Cao who must have drifted off into his own space. He visible twitched and looked up for the source of the intrusion, but settled when he realized it was Zhou.<br/><br/>“Oh, uh. Fine.” he said choppily, raising a hand to massage his eyes, “Men are getting excited.”<br/><br/>“Thinking they'll get to see war?” she inquired.<br/><br/>“I suppose.” Cao responded dismissively. He gave a worn smile that suggested he wasn't all enthused. He was trying to hide that same fear he had when the Turks were bearing on the Africans.<br/><br/>Cao was an academy trained officer. He'd never seen combat, nor probably ever dreamed to see it. It wasn't hard for Zhou to deduce that her commander was just in this game to rake in whatever benefits he could have. Some stability or sense of purpose maybe. But that was her own impression. He could do the administrative and image functions perfectly, and performed with perfection. But she knew privately he shook in his boots when it was to come to decisive combat action.<br/><br/>“We'll talk about it when we're finished with the debrief.” he prattled, “Chen Wu should be in soon.”<br/><br/>“Wu's getting involved?” a stunned Zhou asked. At which the door in the side of the room opened.<br/><br/>She turned her head to the newcomer. Standing in the door frame a middle-aged intelligence agent stood with a folder of papers in his arms and a pen dancing between his fingers. He gave the two a flat look, darting his wide eyes between the two. “Right.” he began in a dry cracking voice, “I knew someone said my name. What's the new rumor?” he asked with dry sarcasm.<br/><br/>“That you still haven't returned that one book due to Beijing.” Cao spun back.<br/><br/>Wu rolled his eyes as he walked over to the desk. “Uh-huh.” he grumbled, finding a seat. He dragged the chair to the side of the desk. In the empty room the grinding of the bare metal legs on the floor resonated with almost explosive force. Zhou squinted her eyes as the lonesome song of all four legs dragged the floor like nails on a chalkboard. Cao reacted in much the same manner as he winced back from the desk.<br/><br/>“I didn't expect you to take notations.” Zhou observed when the crying of the chair stopped. She looked up at Wu with an almost distasteful look. Even in the hot weather he wore the signature black uniform of the IB. It matched with the rest of him. He was long and lanky, almost frail in an essence. And his black hair was swept back against his head, even where it was short.<br/><br/>“When the commanding office back home got the pilot's debrief,” he remarked indifferently, referring to the central command in Beijing, “They deemed that anything relating to Azima was above normal standard and they want a report from me personally, with meeting annotations and any and all recommendations I can provide.” he gave the two a proud and wide smile, “So it's not Cao hitting the button and asking questions. Or you or even Zhong Hue.”<br/><br/>Zhou nodded. Zhong Hue was the officer in charge of security and was most often in charge of the disciplinary questions if available. Otherwise, he delegated it to a crony; but that was uncommon. “I suppose we're all here then.” Cao declared, reaching over to the recorder. With the press of a button the machine produced an audible, plastic click and the reel-to-reels turned. “This is Lùjuun shàngxiào  Dezhi Cao in debrief with Zhoong xiao Sen Zhou for the operational records in Beijing.” Cao began, prattling out the words in a dry official voice. Again, Zhou could not help but smirk at his insistence of retaining the dry official rhetoric.<br/><br/>“On the fifth of June, 1980 Zhoong xiao Sen was deployed with assets including the light-support naval vessel, designation LNS-023 from Pemba to cross reference reports given by an earlier deployed mission to intercept a civilian distress call given by an aircraft identified as carrying the Empress Azima and company. Sen Zhou will now give her debrief.”<br/><br/>Coughing lightly, Zhou began, “The mission set-sail aboard the LNS-023 from the Chake Bay training installation on the morning of the fifth of June, 1980. Assets in our serviced included six Láng B-1 helicopters and a full crew for each as well as the LNS-023. Due to the carrying capacity of the LNS-023 the ship was only capable of ferrying one aircraft which I designated my own for commanding use in the field. Flying along the coast, the rest of the aerial assets moved ahead to locate and perform initial surveys of the believed crash zone.”<br/><br/>“When we arrived,” she sighed, “we had discovered the debris field had likely shifted from the known general location. W-”<br/><br/>“Which can be referred to on the written debrief of the pilots.” Cao cut in. He gave Zhou and apologetic wave and bid her to continue.<br/><br/>“-Weee... We deemed the field of debris left behind by the crash had shifted due south. Boarding a helicopter, we preceded to the Somalian coast on the sixth of June to recruit local fishermen as volunteers search crews, having no contact or availability of the Ethiopian navy. Spending the day acquiring and preparing Somalian volunteers we returned to the crash site on the seventh of June to begin searching the debris.<br/><br/>“We spent the next several weeks flying the area and sailing it, turning up no conclusive evidence of the survival of the Queen Azima or any known survivors of her flight from Africa.<br/><br/>“While on the mission, our Somalian volunteers suggested that through the course of the search any evidence of Azima and company would have followed currents east or west, and we deployed to search the waters to the east and to chase the African coast in hopes that debris from the crash washed up on shore during our initial search stages.<br/><br/>“This process continued until the Fourth of July when we received a radio communication identified as being from the Ethiopian island of Socotra that the villagers there had in their possession Azima, her son, and her nephew. Upon hearing the news I immediately called for a helicopter and I and a crew of four arrived at the island of Socotra that afternoon at approximately 1300 hours.<br/><br/>“Our search for further leads brought us to a radio station in the mountains south of the northern-most town we were informed was named Hadiboh. Landing nearby, we received a local who had direct information on the location of Azima and he was able to guide us to her exact location roughly four to five kilometers east of the town of Hadiboh. There she had been residing with local fishermen on the coast.<br/><br/>“We landed and received Azima aboard our craft, as well as the children she was attending.” she leaned back in her chair. Her voice was beginning to dry out and she could feel the sapping weight of the heat and humidity. Things felt much better to have flown over Socotra. Thinking on it as she talked, she wanted to feel the relative coolness of the wind rushing over her, swimming through her uniform and into her shirt cooling her breasts in the insufferable heat of Africa.<br/><br/>“We made immediate arrangements back to the LNS-023. There, I invited the queen into the quarters given to me by the ship's captain Xin Huan for the duration of the mission. There, I asked Azima to tell me what had happened that day she was shot down.<br/><br/>“She was familiar with the process. Telling me she had been an agent in the Walinizi service of Ethiopia and she spoke clearly.<br/><br/>“She explained that while on route to Persia, where they would transfer to China the pilot's received a report that a strange aircraft was en'route, then spotted over the Red Sea. The aircraft – which was never identified – was traveling at super-sonic speeds beyond which the Ethiopians had never experienced.<br/><br/>“The pilot of their aircraft took immediate evasive action to avoid the Spanish deployment but was none the less engaged over the water. In the moments between engagement and splash-down she admits to having little actual memory. She explained to me that it was a chaotic blur of sirens and crying.<br/><br/>“Inevitably, the aircraft hit the sea and she was adrift for an unknown period. Aboard the airplane was the queen-mother Elani who is believed to have surely perished in the crash. But the heir-apparent of Ethiopia and her adopted nephew survived the impact with Azima and will be ready for transport to China.<br/><br/>“And that's what happened.” she said confidently, clapping together her hands. She gave a weak, almost strained smile as she leaned forward in her chair.<br/><br/>“Did you meet any resistance?” Cao asked.<br/><br/>“No, comrade.” Zhou responded.<br/><br/>“How receptive were the Somalian volunteers?” he inquired again.<br/><br/>“Willing.” replied Zhou, “They were informed they were taking part in the search for the queen of their nation and her children. They were inspired by a sort of national pride to throw in their boats and crews.<br/><br/>“As incentive, they could take any approved scrap they found adrift at sea.”<br/><br/>“I see.” Cao nodded, walking about the desk. Chen Wu sat with one leg crossed over the other as he scribbled down the brief transcripts of the debriefing. “Were there any notable issues?”<br/><br/>“If you count boredom among the men.” she replied, “Then no: no notable incidents that might cause a diplomatic row between our nations.”<br/><br/>“Very well.” declared Cao, reaching out to the recording device, “I call this debriefing to a close.” and with that, the recorder stopped with another sharp, plastic click.<br/><br/>“I'd certainly offer a ration or two worth of candy.” Chen Wu remarked sarcastically, “What a good little girl.”<br/><br/>“Shut up.” Zhou snapped back.<br/><br/>Laughing, Wu stood up and bowed to the both of them. “So when is this being sent home?” he asked.<br/><br/>“I'm aiming for tomorrow when we send Azima and the kids.” said Cao, “You want to send yours in with it too?”<br/><br/>“Of course.” Wu smiled, “And where are the royal quests?”<br/><br/>“They were on the beach last I knew.” Zhou nodded, standing up.<br/><br/>“Good, good.” the agent said, “I just wanted to confer with Azima what happened. Am I dismissed?” he asked Cao.<br/><br/>“You are.” Cao waved.<br/><br/>“Thank you, comrade.” he bowed, stepping back, “I'll no doubt see you around dinner. Have a good day.”<br/><br/>“Same to you.” Cao called back, watching his out the door with tired foggy eyes. Zhou lingered, arms crossed in front of her.<br/><br/>“You're tired, have you been sleeping?” she demanded sharply as the room fell silent.<br/><br/>“Am I that fucking bad?” Cao groaned agitated.<br/><br/>“I just have to wonder if anyone has seen you.” she snapped back, “I can tell you're visibly wearing yourself out. What is it?”<br/><br/>Cao sighed as he walked to the wall. Hanging his head against it he leaned into the dull wooden planks of the bungalow. An aching groan rolled from his through, “It's that damnable conflict up north.” he reported grimly, “I sit here and receive multiple reports from comms and even Wu about what's happening. Projections, reports as they happen. All sorts of shit.<br/><br/>“Hassan is engaging the Spanish at Djibouti.” he said, “The city is on fire, and Wu doesn't think he'll hold it. The Spanish are going to break through.”<br/><br/>“And?” Cao asked, “It's not fucking Pemba. I don't know why you're being a baby.”<br/><br/>“It's not Pemba I'm worried about!” Cao beat his head on the wall, “It's if they order us to redeploy. I got a warning from Beijing a while ago that they might move these operations to Addis and re-classify the mission as an active-duty combat unit, as opposed to a training unit.<br/><br/>“I know you're excited, don't have to say anything.”<br/><br/>“Well thanks for the confidence.” Zhou sneered snidely, “So if we are moved, what do you think you'll do?”<br/><br/>“The problem is: I don't fucking know.” he moaned woefully, “It's like the Ottoman invasion again: I don't fucking know. But at least then Hassan was there to save it all and I didn't have to move in the end. Fucking came back from the dead! Have you heard some of the fucking Ethiopians talk about him?”<br/><br/>“Plenty.” an unenthusiastic Zhou remarked.<br/><br/>“Well, with this I don't know if he can pull the same card twice.” he mourned with a long sigh, “This isn't the Turks we're talking about, the Spanish here don't have five-hundred enemies. They'll bust through Djibouti's ashes and sweep up the Ethiopians with the rest of the soot and the dust. We'll be cannon fodder, we'll lack support.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Harar, Ethiopia</div><br/><br/>As they drove along the road they came out of the deserts and on into the rising mountains. Turning from sparse land recently impregnated by the summer rains Han Wen, driven by the woman Mulki found themselves crawling up into the lush and green toes of the Ethiopian highlands. The roads coursed like a river in the valley and peaks of the landscape as it became more rugged and as they rose up into the hills of Ethiopia proper. At the tail end of a convoy they lumbered at the same rate as utilitarian trucks. Through the open windows the moist heat of summer-time Ethiopia came in a constant flow as much as the sharp odor of the diesel fumes.<br/><br/>Marking their slow, steady ascent into the fringe of the Ethiopian heartland the signs marking the shifts in regional happenstance came to show in the subtly brutal fashion as war often shows itself beyond the front lines. Coming in on the city of Harar – as Mulki noted proudly – they joined in partnership for the road bands of soldiers who patrolled on foot through the middle of the thoroughfare and throngs of men riding horses or mules. They jockeyed for a place on the dusty blacktop of the highland road for space with trucks of increasingly military use.<br/><br/>In the storm of traffic sounds there was a sing-song occasion to the grinding of vehicles and marching of boots. From somewhere along the side of a road a truck ladden full of eager young men in simple white robes sang songs of praise as they thumped their fingers against the worn and patched wooden stocks of rifles up to some fifty years old. From somewhere in the distance beyond the constraining obstruction of banners, truck and wagons laden down with produce and supply, and the very presence of people all around the amplified shouts of some soldier gave direction. The traffic slowed, and in the shadow of an acacia and flowering Terminalia tree they were brought to almost a stand-still in the torrid river of traffic and migration.<br/><br/>“I don't get it, I would expect people to be leaving with this area under potential threat of the Spanish.” Wen observed as he gazed on down the road. Off to the side hills rose and fell to great in the distance the veiled haze of distant mountains.<br/><br/>“I suppose commerce still has to flow.” Mulki opined, “Perhaps that's it?”<br/><br/>“Maybe.” the Chinese pilot responded as he gazed out at a group of shaggy men riding thin, small horses along the side of the road. Stained and dirty white robes hung to hug the gray and patchy flesh of the beast as machine guns bounced at their backs. Sunken graven eyes starred out down the road, and beneath their scraggly black beards their expression did not change so much as to flinch or spit. There was a certain American desperado air to them, made more musical by the clicking chimes of bullet-packed bandoleers that wrapped their chests. “But it still doesn't explain the guns.” he added in a low sketchy tone. He eagerly cranked up the window to put a barrier between he and the individuals outside.<br/><br/>“Well, once we get inside the city and through it maybe things will be a lot less... war-y.” Mulki smiled weakly. She was visibly wary, as much as Wen. She stressed her words as she leaned over the driver's wheel. Perhaps she was hoping to not be seen.<br/><br/>With a jump, the traffic ahead of them busied forward and the two were on their way. The muffled sound of the car motor filled the cabin as they made slowly along the main road. “Inside the city?” Wen asked, confused on the choice of words and the delivery.<br/><br/>“Oh, yes...” she paused as a army motorcycle buzzed passed the window, just an elbow's brush away from the side-view mirrors, “Harar is walled.” she said flatly.<br/><br/>'Perhaps that explains the traffic.' Wen thought to himself as he turned to look out the window again. The same business crawled on as it had earlier. But now in the edge of his available vision there was winding out on hill-top plateau a stretch of ancient wall that reached out to snake back in and around. The crenelations that lined the battlements resembling the roundness of up-turned shields that came to a point. Beyond the ancient parapets the peaks and towers of mosques rose to reach the sky. And built outside along the wall's edge among dirt foot paths were the shanties and hovels of individuals forced to live outside the once protective walls.<br/><br/>The scene Han Wen observed was like something out of ancient stories. The placement of this city, and its continued existence behind something as antiquated as city-walls was a sign of Ethiopia's juxtaposition between world powers. Among the unreachable mountains and hidden valleys of the ancient nation there still resided the peoples and places that lived as they had centuries ago. Eating among, working among, and raising their families in the same context that was forgone by both Asia and Europe as the march of time demanded that things march ahead.<br/><br/>In a strange way: it was as If Ethiopia had never changed, Han Wen realized. Its normality was an abstract romance that the European and Asian nations can only make veiled claims to possess in their own contexts. China had built on top of its old ways, putting down islands of glass and steel in seas of hutongs and ancient neighborhoods. But as in Europe, even those places were doomed to be swallowed by China's forward progress.<br/><br/>But here was a place where that had not yet happened. A walled city clinging to the old ways as the world moved ahead. And it was on the edge of the raging conflict that was the meeting of the modern and the antiquated.<br/><br/>Wen heard the familiar and distant drone of an airplane and looked up into the skies to great his airborn brother with his eyes. Though it started as a black dot against the cloudy blue of the African sky Wen was soon brought to curious wonder the sort he hadn't felt since he was a kid observing airplanes in the same way. Like an expert silently appraising art on a wall, he looked up at the passing fighter as it soared overhead. He knew it to be Chinese in design, but it was the paint that attracted him.<br/><br/>Lunging across the sky was a furious lion clinging the mangled corpse of a foreign soldier in its jaws, as its mean and legs streamed the Ethiopian flag as if it was a halo of fire that adorned the massive cat. Against a field of blue, the rest of the aircraft nearly hid itself against the sky so that it was only that lion on its side as the prey in its teeth streamed blood along the plane's length, as if streaming it across the sky as a proud statement of the pilot's defiance.<br/><br/>It was this that amazed him at Harar.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tyumen</div><br/><br/>The wind rattled the long brush along the side of the road. Rising ahead the foot of a bridge span rose up to a distant crest. Beyond which, visible barely through the gnarled branches of the foliage were the colorful facades of distant Tyumen proper. Distantly in the breezy summer silence the Tura river gurgled empty against a bank of mud, gravel, and concrete. The sky overhead was an unburdened blue that stretched on into the infinite over head.<br/><br/>In the middle of the road a young lieutenant stood watch gazing back down away from the bridge. His feet planted at a distance apart and his arms crossed behind his knee-high officer's coat. The olive-green tunic body fluttered in the light gust of breeze as it beat around the loose-fitting pants at his legs. At his hip, his sword tapped his thigh with each passing disturbance. His heavy waiting stare found itself following the hurrying shine of armored vehicles as they sped towards them. The groan of their motors cut the quiet afternoon air as they came forward. And soon was the clatter and bang of their guns against the armor. The helmeted head of a machine-gunner looked out over the roof of the lead vehicle.<br/><br/>The officer turned to look back behind him. Lounging on the railing that ran along the side of the road his men sat watching out of boredom. Hanging high above them on makeshift poles of wood and metal two massive flags flew limp in the weak wind. One red, and the other orange. These banners ordered by the general himself. Though tall, their construction was precarious and spontaneous by all of the regards, it wouldn't take more than a strong gust – let alone anything else – to shatter the standards and topple them. Wayward wires stripped from the surrounding urban warscape lashed the impromptu flagpoles steady by tying them to the nearby trees and telephone and electrical poles.<br/><br/>The groan of the oncoming motors grew louder and soon they were on top of the officer. Calmly he stepped aside as the convoy drew up onto his position and stopped to idle. After a moment's passing the back doors of the middle-most car opened, and stepping out a handful of armed guards jumped, their rifles raised as they scanned the rooftops and shaded windows of the few odd buildings that stood over the tree and brush line of their elevated escarpment.<br/><br/>“I'm sure if there were issues with snipers, the good officer would not be out in the open!” a voice shouted. The guards paused to lower their weapons, but kept their watch ever out on the nearby nests.<br/><br/>The lieutenant bowed as out stepped Huei Wen. His longer coat dragged as he slipped out of the armored cab. The general was a large man by many means. “Comrade.” the lieutenant greeted, “If I knew you were coming sooner I may have prepared a better greeting.”<br/><br/>Adjusting his cap to the bright summer sun the commander smiled. “No, no.” he began with a polite smile, “That would hardly be in the spirit of things.” he walked towards the lieutenant, beaming politely, “Besides, I'm not one here to play any sort of politics or make favoritism. I'm a supervisor, checking in on his men. And where possible, lend assistance.”<br/><br/>He strolled past the young officer as he moved towards the bridge. His body guard rushed forward in lines along his flank. Moving ahead as they brushed passed the platoon of curiously watching young soldiers as he walked by. Anxiety and curiosity in their eyes. Was this a punishment.<br/><br/>But Wen did not lend them a punitive eye as he walked. He smiled accordingly, like a casual passerby in the street. He was here on business and though his hand lay to rest on the tufted hilt of his sword he retained a polite air about him. Much more so than his own men, who operated in tension as their own commander's stubbornness tested them.<br/><br/>“I don't recall having to radio in for any sort of help.” the officer admitted plainly as he followed. He realized that this sort of meeting was something that he would have preferred with a superior officer, and not the top brass. And that it might be done in private, least it distress the men.<br/><br/>“You and I are proud men.” Wen called back to him, “In different ways. But proud men do not often go out of their way to admit errors. So men such as I must find them.” he turned briefly around, pausing in his step, “Not out of scorn mind you. I think no little of you than you do yourself over this. It's a thing that must be done though.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” the lieutenant bowed. In truth, he hardly did.<br/><br/>“Excellent!” Wen beamed, clapping his hands, “So let's check out this bridge.”<br/><br/>Reaching the point of the structure so that the river proper was stretched out at his sides, making its winding crawl through the city of Tyumen with its additional bridges spanning its wide belt, and the further shore was visible before him he stopped. Standing in the open sun he scanned the city ahead with a sharp eye. The lieutenant stood back, wary of the danger posed there. The general's bodyguard found cover behind the debris and barriers put up to impede any progress in any direction. But Wen absconded the thought, forgoing the reality of the safety provided.<br/><br/>“Have you made any attempt to scout the furthest bank?” Wen asked, turning back. He looked up from the young officer and to the great banners that hung behind him.<br/><br/>“We've been keeping watch on the far bank.” he said, “We've observed sporadic enemy movement on the far-side, so they are present. On some mornings, Russian snipers attempt to take pot-shots at us.”<br/><br/>“Evidently not today though.” Wen nodded, “A fortune, to both of us.” he smiled in good humor, “But you haven't made any attempts across?”<br/><br/>“No, comrade.” admitted the lieutenant.<br/><br/>“How come?”<br/><br/>“As said before, the sniper fire. Or possibility of it. The bridge here is far to open.” he pointed out. Although the curved body of the bridge obscured any sensible observation of the far-side, Wen humbly admitted to himself the officer had a point. He adjusted his footing as he walked to the side.<br/><br/>“How's the current?” he asked. Nodding down to the water below as he reached the bridge's edge.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” the lieutenant responded, shocked.<br/><br/>“The river current, is it fast or slow in this stretch?”<br/><br/>“I-” stammered the lieutenant, lost for any proper words, “I- I must admit that we uh-, we have not tried.<br/><br/>“No faster than any other river I imagine. We are not in any hills.”<br/><br/>“An admirable observation. So why haven't you tried to cross it? On rafts, or boats?” he pushed himself away from the edge of the bridge and gestured down to the other-side. Standing just over the peak of the bridge a proud pink and white-trimmed tower stood in plain view, “If you are concerned of Russian snipers, then setting sail to the other-side by cover of the bridge at and night would be a remedy, if you have not managed to demolish any offending structures!” he had a critical air to him. But nothing more harsh than a rough father, “So why camp here, if you have not made any meaningful tests of the enemy's lines?”<br/><br/>“With all due respect comrade, I have made a request for water craft but I have not received an order.”<br/><br/>“Then I am here, and I will put in my command to the supply. And you will have your boats.”<br/><br/>The lieutenant was visibly surprised. “You will?”<br/><br/>“I will.” said Wen, “Every moment we spent burning time in this city is one more the enemy uses to galvanize himself elsewhere. Other units break through Tyumen's streets now driving the enemy into corners and from the city. But there are those such as this that remain frozen in position. And this I will not have! Mobility is our resource, and I will have us on the move to discover, isolate, and engage the Republicans. Are we understood?”<br/><br/>“Yes, comrade.”<br/><br/>“Good.” he clapped his hands together and walked down  the bridge, to the eager relief of his guard who rushed down out of the open. Looking up at the banners above he added: “I will see these flags flying on the far-shore of this river by tomorrow, this is an order.”</div>"

He had crawled in on his own, banged up by a bizarre mix of Dr Feelgood and tranquilizers. This was a mix Marc had concocted in a mescaline and corn liquor induced stupor, curled up in a naked sweaty ball in the corner of the room while Sahle and Yared watched the droning patriotic Armenian song that signaled the end of television for the night. The freaky little addict had sworn by his twisted blend, and at the end of the next day's set Sahle had decided to wind down and try it.<br/><br/>It was not good. It fucked him up.<br/><br/>He supposed he had been high-strung since getting back from the Georgian border, where some shaky Russians had bought a crate full of Feelgood from them. That had been Vasily's idea, and he had brought along a ridiculous Chinese warrior to help them out. Sahle had expected to get shot, and for the entire truck-ride he had watched hills ominous with black trees and imagined himself holding his own guts as he bled to death in some forgotten misted forest far away from fucking everything. Vasily had made it worse, telling stories of a famous mustachioed Georgian bandit called 'Koba' who's gang had haunted them hills for the first half of the century. The thought of some band of highwaymen from a cheap European movie, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, did not make Sahle feel better. If they'd put the screw you for being wealthy, what would they do to you if they found you were selling drugs?<br/><br/>When the deal was made, nothing violent happened. It had been a tense situation, but Vasily handled it like the expert mercenary that he was, and they got away safely. Everything had felt fine, until they began to leave. That is when Vasily had pointed out the beasts watching the entire deal from the bald ridge above them.<br/><br/>Two beings with the bodies of men, the long guns of soldier-men, and the real-deal heads of man-eating horses. That had meant something else to Vasily, but Sahle did not know what. Those fucking horse-men haunted his highs now. He couldn't shake the bastards.<br/><br/>Hours passed by. He lay in the ground, smelling the sour flavor of his own vomit on the floor next to him. He could hear water flow in the creaking pipes that stood naked against the walls. When somebody flushed a toilet or turned on a sink, he could hear the pipes jerk as water began to trickle through them. The sound of flowing water reminded him of his own internal plumbing, and how food became excrement and blood. He imagined blood moving through his veins, and his imagining became so intense that he could feel it. The flow of his own blood now felt like one million little strings tugging on his insides.<br/><br/>That was gross. He felt sick again. He curled up in a ball and closed his eyes. The anomalous lights and patterns that seemed to play on his eyelids, like spasmodic movie from a broken film projector, slowly formed into what Sahle's paranoid mind couldn't accept as a hallucination. It was another fucking horse-man's head. Or a horses head? He didn't give a shit about the technicalities, he just knew it was spooky. He opened his eyes again, so quick and so sudden that he gasped unintentionally. <br/><br/>He felt that familiar feeling, the one that everybody who was acquainted with hallucinogens knew, where he wondered if he would ever be normal again. Hours went by as he patiently worked at focusing his mind. When he felt calm enough to close his eyes again, he took a nap.<br/><br/>When Sahle woke up, the drugs were no longer working their effects. He was hungry now, and he judged that it was time to leave the room.<br/><br/>He wandered the halls of the Dead Man's Drink until he found the kitchen. It was a small room with a broken stove and cupboards full of canned food. At the end of the Armenian Revolution, the government began to sell surplus food stuff bought from Persia and Ethiopia to feed their military in the absence of Turkish products. They had done this in order to make up some of the massive debt that war had dumped on the young government, and in doing so they had filled the pantries of its people with cheap foreign-produced food made to remain edible long after it had lost all it's flavor. Old man Horasian was as patriotic as he was cheap and flavorless, and he had bought more than his share of it. Wheat from Ethiopia, yoghurt from Persia, canned fish from Oman, and dried fruit from the Congo, all in the most non-descript dull packaging that could be conceived. Most of these cheap ingredients went into sticky soups. <br/><br/>He found the leftovers of one of these soups in a stained chest refrigerator in the corner of the room. It stuck to the bowl now, more a paste than a soup. He scooped it with his hands. It tasted like lumpy, sour milk. Old man food. Still, he was hungry, and he kept scooping until his fingers were sticking together and the bowl was empty.<br/><br/>""Samel."" it was the drawn out voice of Yared. He turned around to see his friend standing in the doorway. ""How was the stuff?""<br/><br/>""Friend, it was no good."" Sahle replied. ""I saw horses all night.""<br/><br/>""Horses?"" Yared smiled. ""What did they do to you, friend?""<br/><br/>""They scared me. That was all, friend. I'm no sick freak who dreams about fucking horses.""<br/><br/>Yared laughed. ""I was not thinking that until now. Was it the gangsters?""<br/><br/>""The... yeh."" he remembered. The men on the hill with the horse-heads had been Russian gangsters. That is was Vasily had told them on the way back to Armenia.<br/><br/>""They made me shiver too."" Yared said. He went to get a glass of water, the pipes clanking as his cup filled. ""I hope that is all Oziryan wants from us, friend. If we are done, maybe everything can calm down and we can focus on the tunes.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Sahle replied. What was normal now? He hadn't had much time to think about it, but when the thought of slowing down came, he always remembered that he wasn't Samel. His past had came flooding back into his mind when he heard that Azima and her children might be dead. He had never felt much for Azima, though she had been a good lay. Still, she was part of his childhood. And Yaqob... he was his brother, even after the war, and their child had been Sahle's <span class=""bb-i"">nephew</span>. He had once had a nephew, one he had never knew, and now the boy was dead. <br/><br/>""Samel friend, what is weighing you down?""<br/><br/>""Nothing."" Sahle replied. ""I am still feeling the effects of that mix.""<br/><br/>""It was a potent mix."" Yared agreed. ""Something Marc would do, but not you.""<br/><br/>Sahle wiped his beard with the back of his hand and sniffed. ""Well, I did it though.""<br/><br/>""True."" Yared eyed him suspiciously now. ""Is it Aaliyah?""<br/><br/>""What?""<br/><br/>""I am not feeling the vibes anymore, friend. Not like they once were. Is it her?""<br/><br/>""No, brother."" Sahle replied. ""She is my girl.""<br/><br/>Yared looked at him sympathetically for a silent moment. ""Of course she is, friend. She is writing a song now. She said that the news is bringing her to think about things, you know. I mean, what is the world coming to, friend? All the people of Africa want is peace, brother, but everybody around the world keeps giving them war.""<br/><br/>""War."" Sahle repeated. ""Yes. Yes, I will go see her now. Where is she?""<br/><br/>""On the boardwalk out back, at that big picnic table.""<br/><br/>""Right."" Sahle smiled. ""Thank you, friend.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The morning sunlight hit Sahle's eyes like headlights on a dark road. The back door of the Dead Man's Drink emptied into an alleyway, its garbage pails and dented asphalt pristine from the morning clean up. It connected to a single-lane gravel service road, beyond which the city met the lake front. From where Sahle stood, the alley faced out toward the wide open Armenian landscape, where empty hills rolled on for miles towards the foothills of the Caucasus. <br/><br/>He crossed the service road barefooted. The jabs of gravel did not bother him, and he was in the grass soon enough anyway. In front of him was the grassy slope that ran down toward the water, before which was a wooden walkway. On a typical morning, this path was trafficked by elderly people watching the sun rise across the lake, or by younger tourists trying to work off a hangover. Today there was nobody except for Aaliyah sitting at a table with her white cocktail dress flowing over the bench. <br/><br/>He sat down next to her, and when he saw her face he feigned a friendly grin. That face, the painted half given to her by the dollmaker, still made him cringe inside.<br/><br/>""Where the fuck is everybody?"" he asked, looking all around.<br/><br/>She smiled softly. Or, at least part of her face smiled while the other half remained cold and clay. ""The fishermen have been charging people a dram to take them near the island. The army is practicing their fighting, and people want to catch a peek.""<br/><br/>""Oh."" he nodded. ""That must be where the old man has gone.""<br/><br/>""He went out at first light. I think he must be back by now."" she replied. ""But Samel, where have you been? You have been gone so much.""<br/><br/>He felt blindsided by the question. He did not know why, it made sense that she would ask, but he couldn't think of what to say. It felt like he had been caught, though all he had been doing was...<br/><br/>""Drugs."" he blurted.<br/><br/>""Drugs?"" she asked. ""You didn't really do that stuff Marc made? It sounded dangerous.""<br/><br/>""I did."" he affirmed. ""It was some supreme shit too. Marc is the greatest chemist in the world, or drug chemist or... I bet he is better than the guy on the acid tablets.""<br/><br/>""The 'Try me' guy? You know he is not a real guy.""<br/><br/>""How do you know?"" <br/><br/>""Because who would dress like that."" she giggled. Sahle was feeling comfortable now, and he began to forget about her face. Still, it seemed strange. He felt like he was looking at an old friend. She was an old friend with great breasts, that he would never deny, but he didn't feel like this was love anymore. He considered that this maybe what married people felt like.<br/><br/>Still, the breasts. Her dress was strapless so that it showed her cleavage. It had been a strange habit of hers to wear white show-clothes everywhere she went, and it made her look like some sort of excited bride out to lunch in her dress before the wedding. <br/><br/>He reached out and began to tug at it. ""You know, there is nobody out here now. Why don't we do it right here?""<br/><br/>""Stop."" she swatted his hand weakly. ""Not now. On the table? No, that is awful.""<br/><br/>He thought it was funny that she would say no to a table when they had done it on the sacred ground where Jesus was born. ""Well, not on the table."" he bit his lip. ""In the road. Why don't we do it in the road?""<br/><br/>""No."" she said flatly. Her fake eye fell on him, and its lifeless gaze killed his lust as quickly as if lightning struck her and instantly turned her into a shaved bear. <br/><br/>""I'm writing songs."" she explained, trying to make sweet after she had shot him down. ""You know, i've been reading poems and trying to learn how.""<br/><br/>""Right."" Sahle nodded.<br/><br/>""The war, that is what is inspiring me, you know? I feel like this is the most important thing that will happen in our lifetime. You know what they are saying on the streets?""<br/><br/>""No""<br/><br/>""The Armenians think that China is going to declare war soon, and they think that Spain will declare war on Armenia since the government is on such good terms with Addis Ababa. Somebody told me that Brazil means to declare war on Spain too.""<br/><br/>""Does it?""<br/><br/>""You know, ever since we left Cairo I have felt like the world was a rotten place. But maybe that is going to change now. Maybe, if all the world comes together to stop the Imperialists, everything will turn out good after all. Maybe justice will win. What do you think, Samel?""<br/><br/>""I don't know much about these things."" Sahle said.<br/><br/>""Oh, we don't talk as much now Samel. Not like we used to. Will you come to my room tonight? If you do, I promise we will make love just like you wanted to do in the road, just like old times. Maybe we can talk then, get things back to normal. Everything has been so awful since the shooting, but that is over now. We can have our life.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Sahle smiled. ""I will be there tonight.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>For the rest of the morning, Sahle felt uneasy. He knew that deep down, he did not want to go to Aaliyah that night, and that disturbed him. She had been so much to him before, and he had thought that maybe she would be the silver lining in his exile, and that he would find in her the sort of love his father had found in his mother. Instead, she was becoming a chore.<br/><br/>He daydreamed about fucking the Russian woman. She was an exotic piece of the pale-skinned north, and there was a burning sexuality to her that fascinating him. But what did that mean? Was he just made to be the sort of man that never settled down? How could he possibly do that now he was a penniless nobody?<br/><br/>What he needed was more drugs. <br/><br/>He found Marc incoherent in the prop department staring at mannequins. Marc looked at Sahle with dialated, excited eyes.<br/><br/>""We are all naked, brother, except for all our clothes."" He said.<br/><br/>But Sahle had no time for that. He spent an hour begging his friend for something powerful. When he got what he wanted, he went to his room and lost his mind in the psychedelic otherworld. <br/><br/>He did not find himself in strawberry fields, nor did he end up back in the nightmare forests of Georgia. His hallucinations transported him back to the past, to a time when he first found work at the Pharoah Club in Cairo. It was not a single memory, not something he could put a date on, but the power of the mutated memory was enough to make him feel as if he had been in this exact moment once. It was all there, the gangly Barnham calling everyone in the ethereal crowd his 'Loves' from the back of a chariot pulled by lions, the faux Sphinx dominating above the dance floor and the walls painted to look like the bright and sunny Egypt of the Pharaohs, and the were the dancing girls in their cages. He saw it all from everywhere at once, like a child staring into the room of a dollhouse as their imagination carried them away.<br/><br/>The dancing girls had always been a favorite, always topless and freaked out on some sort of chemical. They were in stone cages hanging from the ceiling near where plaster replicas of Egyptian statues pissed alcohol into troughs. The girls were ghosts to him, writhing female shapes in a sea of Cairo elites and Ottoman soldiers on leave. He only had eyes for one. This had been the place he had met Aaliyah all those years ago. She had been something unique to him then, a girl who cared about him even though he had no money or power to flaunt. <br/><br/>He felt like he was watching her for hours, like a personal dance just for him. The music grew slower, the lights went dim, and people cycled out of the club one by one. It was near midnight now. He did not know how he knew the time, but he did. Perhaps it was the reflection of an old instinct, his subconscious playing out the schedule he had remember in his short time working for Barnham. He hoped that when they had all left, it would be him and her, and they could make love under the watchful eyes of a sphinx.<br/><br/>But then a man handed her money and the two of them left together, and Sahle remembered that it had been her job to be nice to people. People like Sahle and Aaliyah, they were not made to be together. They had lost that part of their humanity long before they met each other. <br/><br/>When the room was empty, Sahle got a good look at it. It wasn't the same place now. The paint on the walls was caked thick in some places and cracking in others. One of the urinating Pharaohs had a broken cock, and alcohol piss sprayed haphazardly from the crater. He saw that there was lion dung on the gilded stage and stains in the floor, and the faux Sphinx was of such a poor quality that he wondered if school children had made it. A phantom party mulled about on the empty floor, and he remembered all of their excesses from a different perspective. This had not been a party, it had been scatological horror show. It had been a club where nasty drunks and worn out whores came waste the hours until their back-alley deaths.<br/><br/>There was a hard truth in the club that Sahle had not comprehended when he had worked there, but there were glimpses of it in the drug-induced memories that overpowered him now. It had been like the decadent and boundless orgies of Heliogabalus, the last lewd hurrah of failing Empires. This was the end of the Ottoman Turks, the people who drank in the wealth of the east and celebrated imperium with harems and hashish, and who's one thousand years of fratricidal palace intrigues had came to their climax at the same time Sahle entered Armenia. But there was another Empire ending here. It was also the last hurrah of the 19th century European dream, the mission civilisatrice and the gentlemen who had dreamed it. Those last few orientalists of the old type, the intellectual playboys of Europe who saw the east as a lamp-lit gateway to everything mystical and erotic, this was their place and Stanley Barnham was one of their dying breed. These two, the Ottoman and the European, partied stupid for as long as time would allow, because they knew that when the sun came up over the cold new world, they would be left in a syphilitic gutter to be forgotten. </div>"

Mashed blotchy across the bare skin of his legs were the bubbling, pale scars of harsh burns. He watched indifferently as the wounds came to the air. From the door the gaggle of Russian youths watched and cringed from the still-pink scars that deformed the flesh of his legs. The injuries still looked fresh, but he could feel no pain. There was no decided empathy for himself as he looked down at his naked legs.<br/><br/>Slowly, the bandages unwrapped around his ankle. His foot hung at a disjointed angle from the rest of him, a malformed scar in itself from previous injuries.<br/><br/>The only clothes the apathetic agent wore were the unadorned, military boxers. The same pair that he had unfortunately been wearing when he set out from Vladivostok. They had been cleaned, out of the charity of his guardians. And he was much grateful for that.<br/><br/>Looking up at the gang of kids, presided over by their foster, Chinese uncle he felt a light tinge of remorse he'd been leaving. For nearly a month – if not more – they had been tending to him. Fighting his own distant silence and bearing the nature of his secretiveness. Only the agent that watched over them, and tried to hold order in their broken lives really understood. And he knew enough to keep his meaning suppressed.<br/><br/>The young faces hiding in the door cringed back from the sight of his gaze. The blood was beginning to return to his eyes. The unfortunate if harmless malignment of his condition. As much as he was deaf and blind to the cries of his own body from the twisted cutting scars that carved valleys into his chest and shoulders. And the twisted compression of the side of his chest where his own ribs had not healed right.<br/><br/>The doctor looked up at them with an eye of unrest and pained empathy. He knew it would hurt a normal man, and that Jun now would hardly be the same as he was before. But his diagnoses of the extent of his injuries was hampered by Jun's own painless flesh. He had the discipline to keep as still as needed, once it was insisted he lay for a month. But without the biting wrath of new and old wounds striking at his mind through his body it was impossible to say if he ever healed right. Or if the Mafiya hadn't done that much of a number under neath him. And he lacked the resources to explore what was underneath his olive flesh.<br/><br/>“How are you feeling?” asked the doctor. It was a stupid question and he knew it.<br/><br/>“I'm fine.” Jun muttered distantly. He tapped his fingers impatiently on the mattress. He didn't know what it was he was waiting for, to be told to get back into the bed, or to stand up.<br/><br/>The doctor's pained expression gave way that he was giving it much consideration. There was a sea of deep thought behind his heavy brow. “Then get up, out of bed.” he ordered with a dry croak. He stood up and stepped back. Stricken with surprise Jun sat there in his bed, wholly expecting to have been ordered back down. Every appointment had ended that way.<br/><br/>He nodded quietly, and slid from the tattered sheets. His bare feet bumped against the carpeted floor and he felt the weakness in his legs as he staggered to hold himself up on his feet.<br/><br/>“I imagine you'll need to leave soon.” said the young doctor as he stepped back to the empty cot not far away. His appointed informal nurses had been set there to sleep so they can keep an eye of Jun and his orderliness. He watched the agent fight to stay on two feet with a sunken look of resignation. His face seemed shallower and older. Even his hair looked thinner that it should be.<br/><br/>Jun nodded, “It'll be for the best.”<br/><br/>“Then we'll skip the whole physical rehabilitation process.” he sighed remorsefully, “It'll be for the best you learn to walk again as quick as possible before you leave.”<br/><br/>Picking up his bags he stood up off the bed, giving Jun a quick nod without room for argument or protest. With heavy feet he walked to the door. Quickly, the spectators peeled away and thudded off down the stairs like the excited school children they were. He reached the door, and made like he was leaving. But hung there at the door frame, bag in hand. There was a hushed exchange between he and Shu. There curt nods, and he too left, and with the gentleness of a spider the doctor shut the door.<br/><br/>He turned around, and Jun couldn't help but feel suspicious. He leaned against the flaking plaster wall, his legs still felt as if they were jelly as his heart raced in his chest. Instinct roiled inside him, but without the capabilities he could only watch, with his hands meekly pressed against the wall.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” the doctor nodded with a sigh, speaking in Chinese. There was a sharp biting tinge in Jun's spine as a cold wave course up and down his body. Delivered like a revolutionary, but out of place. Too much so. Jun felt panicked at the turn and he grappled against the wall as oriented himself to the young man as he walked towards him. He felt the sudden urge a wounded and cornered tiger must feel when confronted by a poacher.<br/><br/>“Don't think I don't know who you are,” the young man continued as he walked to the foot of the bed, leaning a hand against the foot board as he sized up the crippled Jun, “I had it figured out.”<br/><br/>“What the fuck are you going to do?” snarled Jun. The politeness of the doctor did little to comfort his wariness. It didn't do much to render it anything as less than cockiness. A deep whisper in the back of his mind played a tune of betrayal in his mind's ear.<br/><br/>“Don't be afraid,” continued the doctor as he sat down on the bed. He crossed his hands over his knees as he looked up at him, “But I know that like Tiger, you're not anyone who's supposed to be on benevolent business. As if the extent of your injuries – old and new – didn't indicate you're here as a charitable missionary. Tiger at least fell into the position, and I consider him with no ill-favor.<br/><br/>“But you're someone different. You're not supposed to be rooted in a station like he and his former partner.” he added, in reference to agent Shu somewhere in the house, “Therefore, I'd like to make a request.”<br/><br/>Jun was stunned. Too much so for words. He lapped dryly on his laps as he looked down at him. His body still felt weak, and the anger inside him still bubbled; unable to escape its well, save to trickle out with each breath he made.<br/><br/>“It's my father.” the young man said sadly. His voice fell to a soft whisper, almost as if he was ashamed of it, “I want to know if for sure he's alive, in this world still. If he's in Russia, or China.”<br/><br/>Jun pressed his lip together. Unwilling to respond for a moment. But with a croak he asked, “What do you mean?”<br/><br/>“He worked for the Imperial intelligence service before the Tzar was killed.” he admitted straight-out, “When I was young he actually used to take me down to the river-side or to the industrial corners of the city and from his car he would point out the men who were on shifty business and teach me about them, simply about how they looked and acted. He loved to profile, it was his entire game in life it seemed like. Simply by the way they looked at someone he could tell if they meant to kill that man, or if they were looking for a hit on the street. I'm sure he knew when a man had a hard-on.<br/><br/>“But, the year before I went on to university he disappeared. This was roughly thirteen years ago. We don't know where he went, no one told us. Even he didn't. But we suspected he was sent to Finland to spy on the insurgent freedom fighters.”<br/><br/>His voice choked and he turned away. He pressed his lips into a thing frown. Turning his eyes from the Chinese agent to the distant dusty window in the corner of the room he continued with a voice that wavered with internal conflict, “Mom, my siblings, and I believed he'd be back in a couple months, or even a year. As soon as he identified who was leading the Finnish freedom fighters and could destabilize the revolution there he'd come back home to Perm and we wouldn't worry. That was what we believed.<br/><br/>“But come the czar's death he didn't come back. He was just in Finland, surely with no more orders and all government stability lost he'd come back?” he hissed behind stifled emotion, “I mean, he was still technically in country as the generals and princes tore the nation to shreds. And a man of his caliber could come back.<br/><br/>“But, things continued to weaken, and he did not return. Your people rushed north into Siberia and this so-called Republic was built be a despot's iron hand, almost over-night as the local warlords all came to recognize him, or disappeared.<br/><br/>“That's when I began to suspect: he probably didn't go to Finland.”<br/><br/>“What makes you think that?” asked Jun. A part of him turned uncomfortably this stranger to him was opening up in such a way. He wanted to walk past him, brush him aside with his hand and move on. Speak to Shu, collect information and leave. But he wasn't getting that here, not now. He was a prisoner to some man's emotional tale.<br/><br/>“Call it a hunch.” the doctor shook his head, “I don't have any evidence to back it up or anything. But as my mother passed away and my siblings ended up scattered across the country I was the only one to remain here in Perm. Searching, or more like waiting for my dad's return. Understand, he and I were close. Perhaps dangerously so for his profession. Or maybe I just felt I was close. Shit I don't know!” he confessed, clearly confused.<br/><br/>“Do you want me to find him and send daddy home?” Jun asked sarcastically.<br/><br/>“W-what? I- uh, well... Yes, if you could.” the doctor groaned, “It'd be preferred if you could, really. Or maybe find a way to get word to me if you ever find out if he's dead or not.<br/><br/>“I would go out and look for him, I would...” he continued, pausing uncomfortably, “But I'm stuck here. One of a few doctors in the city with any certification. I have my obligations, to Shu and this new family, as well as the city. But, I would like to know what happened to what remains of my old family. I can't reward you, but I can offer you a prayer.”<br/><br/>“Prayers to non-existent entities don't help me at all.” Jun snarled bitterly.<br/><br/>“Y-yes, forgive me. I understand.” nodded the doctor, “But it's the best I can do.”<br/><br/>“Fine then.” Jun growled, “What's his name?”<br/><br/>“Isaak Girgorvich Alexandrov.” answered the young doctor, “He's a tall man. Looks like me, but older.” he smiled uncomfortably, “Think you can remember?”<br/><br/>“I can try my best.” Jun answered weakly.<br/><br/>“Oh, thank you!” the young man cheered, “Then, uh- have a good day. I probably won't see you again. But I wish you the best of luck.” he got up from the bed and made for the door on light feet. Stopping he turned and said feebly, “And take your time getting used to your legs again.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">North of Moscow</div><br/><br/>A two-lane road stretched on, contouring over forested hills as it marched lonesomely on wards. The car crested each gentle rise like a boat on a gentle ocean. Together, Ulanhu and Vasiliy carried on their journey, nearing on their port of mission's calling.<br/><br/>“Is exciting to be so near home again.” Vasiliy smiled as he drove the old sports car along. The engine hummed in peaceful meditation as it carried them along. The long hum of the motor having become a normal sound in the cabin.<br/><br/>No one else joined them on the road it seemed. It was long and empty. Along the sides overgrown forest grew tall and thick nearly up to the road's edge. The elms and gentle maples that stood as a solid palisade of wood and over-grown brush forming a cavern of leaves over-head, turning the road almost into a tunnel. The sun light that broke through the boughs over-head came broken and sparse, casting the road into a long green shaded band. There was an almost spooky serenity to it. Broken only irregularly by the road-side billboards that stood on their steel columns among the bushy, green boughs as an almost apocalyptic reminder to the world of the czar before. And along side these the hidden road-lights, crowned in faded bronze and brass highlights, the bodies being slowly engulfed by mildew.<br/><br/>“It looks different.” Ullanhu pointedly observed, intending to describe how other-wordily distant land was to his own familiar life in China. So far deep in Europe, he did not expect the world to seem to barbaric, and primitive. He excused it as merely being no strong central state, or local governments being too weak to handle such pursuits as road maintenance. Yet deep down he knew this was a lie, not all of this had to transpire in the past ten years. Yet he could not help but to compare it to the open steppe of Mongolia, or even the wide-cut highways that crossed China, even if many were far newer than Russia's.<br/><br/>“Oh, is look much same.” Vasiliy confirmed to his partner with his normal cheer, “If much emptier. But is going without saying.”<br/><br/>From the other direction a truck laden with covered goods passed them by. The cabin and body afflicted by powerful body-rot. He wondered why so few drove, why there were so little Russians traveling the roads. He suspected in finer times, this thoroughfare would be an example of life. It was then they passed a gas-station tucked in a clearing off to the side, bordering a marshy swamp-land choked with tall gas. The rusting sign boasted a liter of gas to be near 65 rubles.<br/><br/>He considered raising it as a point of concern, until remembering they had a trunk of gasoline stored in blitz cans in the back.<br/><br/>They continued to drive. As the trees thinned Ulanhu could look at at fields flush with wheat. Or see as the forests rose and fill, dipping and cresting with the low valleys and hills of this region of Russia. The landscape seemed to dance and sway. And through it the road was a straight-path cut through it all, dominating the natural landscape and declaring it its own.<br/><br/>This prestigious act of its own however and fallen dead. Even as they drew up to an intersection there was no motor-traffic besides themselves. In its place were men and locals who drove horses along the broken asphalt. Old farmhouses, still brightly colored in the proud hues of color that so dominated the Russian conscious stood at the corners of the roads. They passed a small diner and cafe built clinging to the shoulder of the road, almost as an easy quick-stop for travelers. Though dark and devoid of anything to fill the parking lot, there was still a sense of pride in the Russian identity there. The log-cabin walls well maintained, and the frilled crowns on the roof and under the eaves giving a bright ginger-bread home feel.<br/><br/>Yet they continued to pass, to the curious looks of the peasantry there.<br/><br/>Ullanhu decided that in the leery silence of travel he'd again strike up conversation, “You mentioned yesterday that you had family living in Moscow,” he started, “Or, your parents did. You implied you might have someone living there still.”<br/><br/>“I did?” Vasiliy asked.<br/><br/>“I think so, at least.” said Ullanhu.<br/><br/>“Wells, parents are dead. We may find room with uncle, aunt.” Vasiliy shrugged, unsuredly, “They'd invite me back warmly, ask where been. I feed them lie, trained lie. But, I know not of you. I know not what to say about you.”<br/><br/>“Are they someone to betray us?”<br/><br/>“I-...” he hesitated, “Uncle used work as banker, I think.” he croaked hesitantly, “So may not like Chinese, communist Chinese. May suspect only Chinese to be in Russia.”<br/><br/>“You could say I'm just a dissident.” Ullanhu suggested.<br/><br/>“Oh yes, is of good plan.” Vasiliy agreed, “From wheres?”<br/><br/>Ullanhu paused to think, trying to come up with a likely lie. Several names came up. Ullanbator itself, Harbin perhaps. Or maybe he could be from Ullanhu or as far south as Hong Kong. But if it were the later, it would make more sense to have fled to Japan first and then spring to America or elsewhere after.<br/><br/>“Harbin.” he affirmed after a moment's thought, “I'll be from Harbin.”<br/><br/>“Cover name?” Vasiliy poised.<br/><br/>“Shu.” he answered, “Shen Shu.”<br/><br/>“Will Shen Shu speak Russian?” asked Vasiliy.<br/><br/>“No.”<br/><br/>“I see. Of good answer then, I suppose. Will we use this to get to president?”<br/><br/>“I got to figure that out still.” Ullanhu lamented, “But I'm afraid I still know too little. I'd like to see the Kremlin first.”<br/><br/>The car continued to wallow on forward. The hum of the engine maintaining a constant low hum. Conversation drifted back into silence and Ullanhu starred again out the window. Wilderness continued to pass them by, and the Mongolian began to wonder when it would end, when it would change. This long round-about route was the sort of scenic route that many would not have taken. It was all through trees tall enough to be blinding, and farm-fields desolate enough to be deserts. For how green Russia was, its woodland expanse was as empty and devoid as the windy steppe of his Mongolian home. Or even akin to the deserts of the Uyghur homeland. Russia was a desert, a constant green desert.<br/><br/>“Comrade, you best of put your best face on...” Vasiliy opened up again, his voice long and stressed, “We come to a checkpoint.”<br/><br/>“Checkpoint?” Ullanhu said, looking aside to the Russian driver. But he stopped before he could turn fully towards him.<br/><br/>A fair distance down the road where the forest gave to an end at a wooden fence stood a blockade across the world. Smoking on piles of tires thrown along the side men sat smoking cigarettes with automatic weapons placed across their laps.<br/><br/>The guards looked up at the sound of the approaching car and shifted uncomfortably as it drew nearer. Their casual relaxation melted away with the smoldering puff of their cigarettes as they rose to their feet and cocked their guns. One – a large man in a deep-blue beret – stepped out into the middle of the road, his hand raised ordering them to stop.<br/><br/>“Polish paramilitary.” Vasiliy said, “Krakow's praetorian in western Russia. Let me do talking.” he whispered under his breath as he lightly tapped the brakes of the car.<br/><br/>Coming to a comfortable halt before the mercenary Vasiliy put the car into idle. He rolled down the window as the checkpoint guard walked over to him. “Good evening.” greeted the soldier as he leaned down at the window, “Can I have identification?” he asked Vasiliy in a bored voice.<br/><br/>“Yes, certainly sir.” Vasiliy complied, reaching into his pocket. Drawing a tattered wallet from his trousers he pulled out an equally battered paper card and handed it over to the soldier. Walking around back another team of men scanned the vehicle for traps or identification. Flashy assault rifles hung at their breasts as they moved.<br/><br/>“Who's the chink?” asked the man.<br/><br/>“He?” replied Vasiliy, pointing to Ullanhu, “His name is Shen Shu.”<br/><br/>“Mr. Shu?” asked the guard, “What does the spook have in Russia?”<br/><br/>“He's a dissident.” Vasiliy explained, “I have been taken care of him since he fled China. He just simply wants out of that country.”<br/><br/>The officer knelt over into the window to get a good luck at Ullanhu. He couldn't help but to stare awkwardly at the heavy gaze of the soldier as he looked him up and down. He could feel the burning weight of the man's eyes, and the condescending thoughts of simply arresting him and Vasiliy for being together in the same car. Yet in the intensity of that man's blue eyes he could hear the confrontation he was having within himself on the lie Vasiliy had told. He felt it was the truth, but didn't want to. Or suspected it was a lie, but had nothing to base it off of. In that moment he had all the power to do something radical.<br/><br/>He breathed out a deep sigh and linger groan and he peeled back from the window. “You're free to go.” he grunted, forcing Vasiliy's forged ID card into his hands.<br/><br/>“Thank you.” he smiled, taking the card back eagerly. With a wave of the officer's hands they were let through the check-point and on they passed. Closer to Moscow, and now within the suburban sprawl of cabins and brightly painted homes of Moscow's distant-most reach.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Shanghai</div><br/><br/>With heavy cheer Auyi waved good bye to the crowd packed into the central Shanghai auditorium. With the conclusion of the rally, he felt a burden lift from his shoulders. The same sort of stage-fright he suffered when addressing the public. It wasn't new, and it was inclusive. He was much assured that every public speaker had to carry that daunting weight of so many eyes bearing on them at once. To be in the public vision was not a weightless existence.<br/><br/>But now it was gone and he was numb to it. He could clamp his mouth shut as he smiled wide. Now the only discomfort was the baking heat of the lights and the poor airconditioning. He felt a tinge of fear that his white suit could be stained from any trickling or beading pearls of sweat that rolled across his skin just under it. But he couldn't look here, he had to get out. And his escape was as tactful as his entrance.<br/><br/>Giving the people the waving salute he retreated out stage-left. As he slipped into back-stage shadows the raging discomfort of focused lighting withered away. The aura of the incandescent glow shutting itself off as he found the cold embrace of the shadows. “How'd I do?” Auyi gasped as he loosened the collar of his outfit as he trotted through the warehouse-like space of the auditorium back stage. He desperately fanned himself by tugging the collar of his shirt. Although it was no warmer than anything, the soft flow of air up along his neck was soothing all the same.<br/><br/>But he couldn't stop. He was on a tight-schedule. Is impish campaign manager had seen to that, and he had to meet him to move along.<br/><br/>“You did great!” an anonymous man complimented. He would have returned in kind, but he had already disappeared through the door.<br/><br/>Water splashed up the leg of his pants as he stepped down from the building's back-door, stepping into a narrow rain-soaked alley. The water shone off of the cobble-stone alley floor and from where the fresh rain-water had gathered in wide-shallow puddles. Parked close-by a long government coup waited in idle with a uniformed attendant.<br/><br/>The car whose skin was black as inky night warbled with a soft rumble as the engine waited. The cabin and nose was a balanced mess of hard edges and beetle-like curves, especially where the hood swept to the nose. The very front of the car seemed to angle itself down, look it was superior to the world.<br/><br/>Auyi gave it no thought as he passed the bowing attendant as he slipped into the cold, air conditioned cab.<br/><br/>“How'd the rally go?” his manager asked from the seat across from him. Auyi threw himself back into the seat, reeling still from the sweat and basking in the cold comforts of more managed airconditioning.<br/><br/>“Well enough.” he said distantly. The windows shone with a gray light from the beads of rainwater that trailed and stuck to the glass like weightless diamonds. He sighed deeply, immediate to take advantage of the physical peace of a car. He was getting tired, and Wu no doubt had more places for him to go.<br/><br/>“That'll be fine.” Wu laughed dryly. As the driver got in Auyi straightened himself up and fastened himself in. His attention turned to Wu, who watched him from behind wide bottle-glass glasses. The lenses shone with an eerie reflected light that made Auyi think: did he even notice?<br/><br/>“I have something to ask you about as we drive to the station.” Wu continued in a dry dictational tone. The motorcar lurched ever slightly as it rolled down the narrow, wet alley, “Or rather, something we should look to do to enhance the campaign.”<br/><br/>“Oh, why?” asked Auyi.<br/><br/>“Well, while the debate did do good...” he trailed off, “It probably wasn't the best for publicity. NPN poll numbers are clocking Xhu at a rise as well. Once more: along the lines of which pollsters had access to what form of media. It's rather interesting.”<br/><br/>“How can that be?” requested Auyi. He twisted in his seat out of curiosity. Outside the cold comforts of the car Shanghai came to view. Or the Shanghai alone the Yangtze river.<br/><br/>Shanghai was a city like Hong Kong, a municipality that straddled two different worlds as per its placement in the political games that took part on China over a century ago. The muscular columned structures of Victorian-era buildings stood in brooding opposition to and oppression to the street below as they pulled out onto the river-side road.<br/><br/>The Shanghai Public Audiotorium was perhaps one of the few original constructions of the modern era of China since the Japanese forces conducted wide-scale bombing and shelling of the city during the Revolutionary period. But even then, the buildings was stinted to favor blending into with the colonnades and towering domes of the old embassies and other such structures of former British, American, or French interest. Many of these had become re-utilized for other purposes.<br/><br/>Even by the river the remnants of European influence remained. Columns erected to dedication to the soldiers who had won them this land stood against the watery backdrop of the Yangtze. And on the other-side of the river the high-rises of a newer Shanghai rose above the treeline.<br/><br/>“Well, in all respect comrade our supporters or new supporters might very well suggest that you're a man best viewed.” Wu observed with an passive wave of his hand. His brow sunk out of the droll boredom of this basic distinction, “It's come to my attention through our statistics sources that those who viewed the debate in theater showings say that you have a very refreshing and visible presence. They point a lot at the suit.<br/><br/>“Radio listeners have however criticized that you're rather boring to listen to. In contrast, Mang Xhu's temperamental manner of speaking is something for them to get behind.”<br/><br/>“So what do you want me to do?” asked Auyi, “Ditch my white suit?”<br/><br/>“Oh no, hardly.” Wu laughed, comfortingly. It was strange to hear him laugh, he had a high-pitch voice that became even more so when he so much as giggled, “It's one of your stronger areas. No, what we need to do is develop a better presence over the radio if we're going to have a well-rounded campaign.”<br/><br/>“So should I learn to be emotional?” asked Auyi. The car had come to a stop outside the walls of one of Shanghai's several film offices. The building - which was built like a movie theater at the turn of the century – rose with a number of tiers lashed together by vertical pillars as it stood above the river. In an alien display of gaudiness the side of the building was illuminated in neon, proudly showing itself as property of the NPN film office in bright luminescent letters and words. Studio 12 burned from the pale-yellow concrete siding in fierce electrical pink and purple hues.<br/><br/>Auyi looked and gestured to it as if indicating if acting lessons was in his future according to Wu.<br/><br/>“Would take to long.” he sighed, taking the hint and rolling his eyes.<br/><br/>“So, what do you have in mind?”<br/><br/>“I was thinking we may need to seek some sort of patronage from the artistic community. Fitting, as we're in Shanghai.”<br/><br/>“Artist community? Music, actors, painters?”<br/><br/>“Well if we're on the topic of sound who do you think?” Wu said, “I was thinking of appealing to the song-writers. We need someone to say something. Music would be the easiest option to make.<br/><br/>“I can go out and find supporters among the music community. See if they can donate any songs or skills of theirs. I have a few names.”<br/><br/>“Like?”<br/><br/>“Well, Chen Yiaoliang would be a good first target.” Wu pointed out, “He's supportive of your office, especially since what you helped him out with a few years back, what with the NPN director. And with his circle of friends and colleagues including foreign artists I'm sure he's a sure-in for the minority representation. He's the voice we need and want, and he can help us access the youth vote.<br/><br/>“Every demographic counts, and we should keep ourselves relevant and strong in your core representation.”<br/><br/>Auyi considered the proposal. Leaning against the side of the car he felt the rain-cooled glass curress his cheek and the soft jostling of the car as his head lightly knocked against the window. “Yeah, why not.” he said, “Do whatever you think is best on this. It shouldn't hurt us.”<br/><br/>“If anything, it might inspire Zhu.” Wu remarked with a sarcastic smile, “But as long as we stay at the head of innovation when it comes to campaigns: we'll be fine.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Beijing</div><br/><br/>A small crowd gathered inside the confines of Hou's old office. Standing corners heavy reel cammera stood pointed towards the far-end of the room, their lines of sight intersecting over the chairman's desk, which now stood nearly empty; save for a few trinket's of patriotic importance. A stand at the corner of the desk brandishing a collection of small Chinese flags, and a mount for pens. The old wooden surface itself was barren, save for a thin leather mat at its center.<br/><br/>The office was set like a T. Facing down the center core of the room the desk brooded over a long stretch of crimson carpet over top hard-wood floors. Banks of desk stood sentinel along the side of the room. On the far-side, a bank of windows formed the outer-edge of the top-most arm of that letter T. These windows looked out on the city of Beijing, giving a panoramic view of central Beijing. Among the buildings and ancient neighborhoods Chang'an avenue cut downtown in two. Well beyond it the smoke stacks of factories loomed just barely out of view, churning out clouds of silvery black exhaust. And somewhere beyond all of that was Tianjin and the sea.<br/><br/>Hou himself, who had been in the room for months stood off to the side. Alongside him stood a heavy-weight man who carried himself with a certain Altaic, Jurchen persuasion. He cradled in his hands a animal carrier, where an equally large and unamused feline which curled furtively on the furthest wall of the cage to keep from the loitering and excited dignitaries and journalist's present. Its fearful scowl none to complimentary to that of its owner, who smiled proudly.<br/><br/>Behind these two a stoic guard stood, arms crossed behind him. He gazed over the heads of the assembly, waiting.<br/><br/>“In a minute, chairman.” a camera man called out. Hou nodded receptively as he leaned on his cane. His old tired face had sunken. The excitement of the day thus far was not a relief. Being in this room was chilling for him, and he loathed being in it. But it was better than inviting them to tromp about his house. He wanted that for peace and quiet in his retiring days.<br/><br/>This room was not that. A lot had happened. And a lot of that escape from his own realities as he drowned himself in work and lychee wine.<br/><br/>“We should probably get into their view.” the chairman invited, turning to the man alongside him.<br/><br/>“That'd be good.” he answered, following Hou's languid and slow pace to the desk. It was another reminder about how far he fell physically. Before the stroke, he'd had rushed to and from it. Now he could not. And he tried to not think about it.<br/><br/>The animal carrier thumped as the man put it on the desk. Fumbling with the door, he opened it and pulled out from inside the frightened, mewling cat. The guard moved the cage to behind the desk to keep it out of sight before manning his position alongside the elderly chairman.<br/><br/>“Counting...” a camera man called out, holding out his hand, “In three...” he declared, holding out three fingers, “Two... one.”<br/><br/>“We are present today in the grand secretary's office with Comrade Hou Sai Tang and director Hu Wei of the Ministry of Space and Science research labs, Ullaanbatar.”<br/><br/>“On June 30th of this year we announced that our nation has made great scientific strides.” Hu Wei smiled proudly as he hugged his cat close, “And it is today we would like in full to say this, and to introduce the adventurer who so made the journey beyond Earth's atmosphere and returned.<br/><br/>“At the Ministry installation on Green Island our teams launched a Type-3 rocket, specifically modified to carry in it a life-form. The intent of the mission: to collect physical readings of the effect of exposure to the conditions of outer-space and to confirm that life can indeed survive in space, given the right protective measures.<br/><br/>“Our mission as such has confirmed our calculations and laid the early ground work for missions in the future, and it is placed on my shoulders to announce that we – as a nation – feel capable of exploring Earth beyond its atmosphere. Not with animals, but with volunteers from the people. Volunteers who will be no less or no more heroic than comrade Chou.” he smiled as he lifted up the cat. Its eyes widened at the sudden movement as he was presented to the camera. Shifting on their mounts they moved to capture the shocked and weakly struggling cat. A cat who had just enough being handled, having gone to space and back.<br/><br/>Turning, Wei acted in a manner unrehearsed for this press release and presented Chou to Hou. Hou coiled back, shocked at the invitation to hold the fat animal. But on Wei's insistence he found himself holding the cat none-the-less. Abandoning his cane in favor of support from the startled and panicking guard that had been standing behind him just recently.<br/><br/>Hou found himself starring into the golden eyes of a pet as stricken with as much confusion and fear as he was in that moment. “Ah, thank you.” Hou bowed, shifting to take control of this certainly unplanned maneuver on his part.<br/><br/>“Hold him, hold him.” Wei insisted in a low breath. Hou was angry, and confused. His head swam with wanton loss as he manipulated the cat at the ends of out-stretched arms. Gradually, he pulled the cat closer and held it to his chest. A certain degree of laziness and submission resigned it to being retired to Hou's suit, its chin supported by the chairman's arm and tail flicking annoyed at the other end.<br/><br/>Hou had to assume control. “It is with the honor of my office and my service that I do congratulate our advances.” he said uncomfortably, but assuming the role of politician that he was, “With these endeavors, I have been consoled to know that should we choose we will assume the title of space explorers in approximately five-years time. This is momentous for myself, as it is us. The progress we are capable of making is a proof to ourselves and to the world that we – China – will overcome. Let the light that we shine be a beacon to guide and direct all people to the future.<br/><br/>“Thank you.” he added in stuffy closing.<br/><br/>With a dry click the cameras and equipment were shut off and the present audience shuffled about, making their congratulations and compliments to Hou's current health. Uncomfortably and delicately, Hou returned Chou to Wei. “If I did anything wrong, I'm so-” Wei started.<br/><br/>“Don't say it.” Hou interrupted as he took his cane back from the guard. He leaned against the desk as he starred ahead at a secretary moving through the departing crowd. More of them seemed to have appeared with his absence. “It wasn't much trouble.”<br/><br/>“As you say.” Wei bowed.<br/><br/>“I have word directly from Pemba.” announced the secretary in a hushed breath. Wei departed the scene, still bowing nervously. Hou had decided to not think of it, and wished he would stop nervously seeking forgiveness.<br/><br/>“They couldn't just go through Lou Shai Dek instead?” asked Hou.<br/><br/>“It did, but he said to inform you.” the secretary said, “It's the Ethiopian princess. They found her, and her children. They're on their way to China. They just left.”<br/><br/>“I'll be at home, you can send them there when they land.” Hou ordered, “I want Daohang there too.”<br/><br/>“I'll tell them.”</div>"

She did not know what to think.<br/><br/>There had been no signs of a Spanish presence between the airport and her plush prison, though the shooting of the Walinzi agent had left her dazed for most of the ride. As far as she could tell, they were trying their best to treat her like a guest now. Her room was large, with a view over the city facing toward the sea. There was a kitchen stocked with food, a radio, and a silk canopy bed with a leopard skin draped across the sheets. The bed faced a mural depicting a black Adam and Eve in a thick African jungle, and false vines decorated the other walls. Every day they sent her a messenger with a newspaper, an apology for the delay, and assurances she would be properly briefed on developments shortly enough.<br/><br/>So she waited. For the first few days, she listened to the radio and read the newspaper, hungry for any news of the war. It was slow, only mentions of the Brazilian and American comments on the invasion, and updates on the Battle of the Mandeb. After that, she lingered in the bath for an hour. When she climbed out, she did her hair into tight rows, exploding into a bush of unchecked frizz in the back. For the remainder of the day she had nothing to do but eat, listen to the radio, and stare out the plate-glass window at the city below.<br/><br/>Dar es Salaam was the image of a typical African colonial city. Neat European streets crisscrossed the center of town, where buildings with a mixture of Arab and stylized African architecture decayed in the Swahili heat. Many of them had been white once, but age and grime turned them the color of stained teeth. Beyond the city center lay a mish-mash of colonial buildings, traditional mud huts, and new shacks built from scrap. Coconut palms and leafy savannah trees bloomed green along freshly paved avenues, leading to the dirt road sprawl where most people lived.<br/><br/>Tanganyika and Mozambique had both been made independent during Yaqob's visit to Europe at the beginning of his reign. In truth, they had been German colonies in name only by the time Yaqob got involved. Mozambique was taken by Germany from Portugal as spoils after the Great War, but the official language of that country still remained Portuguese. From the end of the War until Yaqob's deal, they had both been backwater posts for unpopular German officials to languish with minimal government funding and poor support. In Tanganyika, the colonial government had come to rely on the Swahili people of the coast, and they used the the Maasai and Sukuma tribes of the north to keep the southern Matumbi, Hehe, and Ngoni at bay. When the Germans left the country to Yaqob's advisors, it was a Sukuma government that was put in charge despite attempts to bring the southerners into the fold. There was bad blood between north and south now, and Taytu wondered what part it might be playing in the confusion she had unwittingly became involved in.<br/><br/>But Tanganyika and Mozambique were not one country. Rather, they were a loose confederation of two separate nations, meaning Mozambique had its own government. Left mostly alone by the Germans, violence had been less frequent there, as the Portuguese and mestizo populations allowed for a transition that was fluid and balanced. It was the poorest state in Yaqob's small African alliance, however, and its influence was small. The Ethiopians had made considerable effort to bring more native Africans into its government. That had only caused some of the ruling Portuguese to leave the country for their ancestral homeland, though the Spanish shadow over Portugal sent many of them packing for Brazil instead. Poverty was the defining problem in Mozambique, and the government was desperate to keep the peace between the remaining intelligentsia in Maputo and the hungry villages of the rural countryside.<br/><br/>For several days she had considered these facts, obsessing over them as she watched the days turn to nights over the sleeping Tanganyikan capital. Instability must be the key. Even now, both states were too young to stand on their own. Could they withstand a war? <br/><br/>Her political musing ended abruptly on the third day. That is when the news reached her that the royal plane had been shot down over the Indian Ocean. No survivors had been found. Alone, with no control over her own future, she discovered that her mother was dead. Her sister the Queen was dead, as was her nephew. And her own adopted son, he was dead too. She had broke down that day and cried herself to sleep before she could take a bath. When she woke up, it was night.<br/><br/>She was supposed to be on that plane. She might have been on that plane, and she might have died as well. She should have been there with her son, or maybe he should have been with her here. She had saved him from Hassan so he could drown? How was that fair? How was it fair that her mother had died like that, without the Queenly dignity she deserved? And Yaqob.<br/><br/>Oh Yaqob. How much would he have to endure in his lifetime? How had he sinned that he should suffer like this?<br/><br/>Where she had been confused before, grief and fear made her feel trapped like an animal. She saw the faces of her dead family in her mind's eye, and she could do nothing but grieve. What else was there for her to do? It was a small comfort that her captors began to give her wine with her newspaper now, and she drank a bottle every night so she could sleep.<br/><br/>When she sobered in the morning, her thoughts returned to what she had lost. It was her and Yaqob now, the sole survivors of Iyasu's dynasty. Her grandfather had broken the Solomonic nobility of Ethiopia before she was born. If her and Yaqob died, would there be anybody to replace them, or would the house of Solomon go extinct? Modernity trudged ahead like an elephant in musth. It smashed and rampaged, destroying everything around until only it remained. She had always considered herself a liberal like her father, but it felt unnatural trying to hold that opinion when the rest of the world saw you and everybody you loved as relics of a bygone age. <br/><br/>The newspapers reported that it had been a modern weapon, a fearsome fighter plane with a new style of engine that outpaced everything the Ethiopians had to offer. She recognized that it must be the same sort of plane the Chinese were experimenting with on Pemba. She had never seen them, but Walinzi reports had told of their existence, and hinted at the possibility that Spain might be fielding the same sort of craft. The murder of her family proved it. They had been killed by something their government could not protect them against, and that made Taytu even more doubtful.<br/><br/>Her doubt grew every day, and the walls seemed to close in nearer and nearer. There was no news after that, nothing that she could do anything with. Spain had suffered heavy casualties after their initial landing in Djibouti, and they were pinned in the city. The newspaper reported that a Spanish naval bombardment had started a fire that blazed out of control and burned down most of Djibouti, killing thousands of civilians in their homes. Every story about the war made her sick, but she had to read them. They were one of the only things that kept her mind occupied and allowed her to gather her thoughts. She cried more now, unable to cope with the loss of her mother or her failure to care for Olivier.<br/><br/>But on the eighth day, the messenger came with another set of guards and surprised her.<br/><br/>""The Confederate Council will see you now."" he told her cheerfully. ""Do you want to prepare yourself?"" She said yes, and she went back to do her hair and clean her face. When she was ready, they left.<br/><br/>-- <br/><br/>She was taken to the State House in a nondescript beige sedan with tinted windows. The city passed by her like a blur, open-space markets and plaster walls reminding her of Addis Ababa. Once, when the foot traffic forced them to stop, she saw a graffiti caricature of a white man in a suit on the wall near where some men were grilling fish. He had demonic features, and he held a rifle with a plain yellow flag on it. She realized he was supposed to be a Spaniard of some sort, and it gave her hope to see that the caricature was splattered with rotten food and other filth that had been thrown at it like a dart-board. It made her feel hopeful.<br/><br/>They arrived at the Statehouse late in the morning. It was a plain looking building with lazy arched columns and a flower garden dominating the yard in front. They came to a stop where guards waited for her. They were dressed in antiquated Askari garb; Khaki clothes, wide-brimmed hats, and short spears held at the bottom and left to rest against their shoulders as if they were rifles. They escorted her at a brisk pace, like a prisoner being led to trial. Her hope began to fade again. She was surprised that she was not nervous. Death had been a possibility for eight days, but instead of fear she felt resigned curiosity.<br/><br/>They went inside through the front door, and she was taken aback by the elephant in the room. There was, quite literally, an elephant in the room. It was stuffed and placed on a pedestal in the center of the rounded two-story entryway. In front of it was a glass case with a tattered British flag inside, but she did not have the opportunity to read what it said. A relic from the Great War, she had no doubt. <br/><br/>She was lead through bare white halls until they came to a place with more guards. It was a courtroom, she realized. Was she being tried for something. A guard opened the door and she was motioned to go inside.<br/><br/>At the back of the room was a panel of five men. Two of them she knew. In the center was Adolf Mwashinga, an elderly dark-skinned man with a thin ring of white hair circling his bald scalp. He was the Minister for Foreign Affairs in Tanzania, and she had worked with him before. To his left was Joao Salomao, the overweight native-born Minister of Foreign Affairs for Mozambique. The other three men she did not know.<br/><br/>It was a courtroom otherwise, but all the seats were empty. It was just Taytu, the five men, and the guards. On the back wall hung two flags. In the center was the flag of Tanganyika; a horizontal black stripe with yellow borders against a green field. To its right was the flag of Mozambique; a horizontal tricolor of green, black, and yellow. To the left of the Tanganyikan flag was a square of wall that was lighter than the rest. She knew that the empty space had once held the Ethiopian flag. They had taken it down, she knew, and that made her mad.<br/><br/>""I demand to know why you killed one of my Walinzi in cold blood."" she heard herself say. <br/><br/>""I apologize for the incident, Le'elt Taytu."" Mwashinga replied. The shiny top of his bald head was dotted with sweat, and he wiped it down with a handkerchief so often that it looked as if he was the one on trial.<br/><br/>""And may I say, Le'elt Taytu."" the unknown man on the far right said softly. ""That we are extremely sorry for your loss. I was aggrieved to hear that such indecency can be done during a war in the civilized age.""<br/><br/>""I do not know you, sir."" Taytu replied wearily. ""May I have your name?""<br/><br/>""Mukwava Kidude. I am in the senate.""<br/><br/>""Mr. Kidude is on the Committee for Tribal Affairs."" Mwashinga interjected. <br/><br/>""Tribal Affairs?"" Taytu asked.<br/><br/>Mukwava Kidude smiled politely. ""We require that one of our committee members be allowed to sit in on most things, to make sure the rural people are included in decision making.""<br/><br/>""Then I thank you for your words, Senator Kidude. But my question has not been answered. Why was one of my men murdered in cold blood, and why I am under arrest by an allied nation?""<br/><br/>""We are holding you for suspicion of inciting our population to war."" Adolf Mwashinga said, patting his head with his kerchief. ""Your man pulled his weapon during the arrest, and our men had the right to protect themselves. We are deeply sorry for his death.""<br/><br/>""You are deeply sorry for a great many things."" Taytu barked. ""And being sorry is the only thing that Tanganyika has done right since I landed here. Inciting war? We're allies! I came here to talk to your government about the conflict that you are required by treaty to support us in.""<br/><br/>""We will get to that. It has been our intention to bring you up to date as soon as possible, but things are complicated now."" Mwashinga said. He looked to his colleagues. ""You have met Senator Kidude and Minister Salomao. This man to my right is Dr. Rudolf Sumari, he is the Director of the Tanganyikan Walinzi. And to the left end of the table is Teodato Zucula. He is the Minister of Justice in Mozambique.""<br/><br/>She nodded. ""Good. Now will you explain your betrayal?""<br/><br/>""Our governments have determined that our inclusion in the the African Continental Entente agreement is illegitimate, as it was decided upon by foreign powers rather than our own people."" Zuculu said. He spoke with a pronounced Portuguese accent, which seemed out of place for a native African. ""Since the ACE agreement was ratified before either of our nation's constitutions were complete, and because signing it was a prerequisite for our independence, we see it as having been done in bad faith. Therefore it is illegitimate.""<br/><br/>""You never complained before."" Taytu argued. ""When my government reached out to help fund yours, and to build a military to defend yourself, I never saw you act to reject it.""<br/><br/>""A military, yes."" Sumari stated. ""But for use by whom? Has the Ethiopian Empire not been preparing for a war against the Europeans since nineteen seventy? Now that we have our independence, we have no reason to go to war with Spain or any other European power.""<br/><br/>""You have your independence because of my brother, and he only asked your support. You owe him!""<br/><br/>""We are not subjects of Emperor Yaqob, Le'elt."" Senator Kidude spoke. ""We do not owe him things. This debate is strictly about legality.""<br/><br/>""If we are talking law then."" She said. ""Why am I being held a prisoner?""<br/><br/>""We are holding you for suspicion of inciting our population to war."" Mwashinga repeated. <br/><br/>""And what does that mean? I hope you know that I did not come to preach in the streets."" <br/><br/>There was a nervous pause among the committee. ""We are aware, but the situation is delicate."" Mwashinga began.<br/><br/>""We do not know why you have come, if we are to be honest about it."" Senator Kidude interjected. ""If you believed we would honor our treaties before you arrived, than why are you here? Surely you don't think we need Imperial oversight. We only got word of your arrival three hours before you landed. What are we to think of that?""<br/><br/>""I apologize for the sudden nature of this visit."" Taytu said wearily. She hadn't considered this angle. Had her visit scared them? ""I was originally supposed to be on the plane that went down over the sea. I only came here after a last minute discussion with my brother.""<br/><br/>""A discussion."" Sumari spoke up. ""What were the details of this discussion, if I may ask?""<br/><br/>""It was a private discussion."" Taytu insisted. ""Between siblings. It is inappropriate for you to ask.""<br/><br/>""Well then, there we have it."" Mwashinga said. ""Secrets. How do you expect us to trust you or your government? The people of Tanzania cannot go to war for no reason. Not with Spain. If the Spanish navy decided to occupy this port, what do you think would happen to its people.""<br/><br/>""They would suffer."" Taytu admitted. ""As they will when it inevitably happens. Do not think that my government started this war, Minister Mwashinga. You are not dumb men, you can see what is happening to this continent. The British are reasserting themselves in South Africa, and Spain has been gobbling up territories on our continent since the French first sold them their colonies in West Africa. This isn't just a war, this is colonization, and your nations stand in the way of European domination. Gentlemen, the Europeans think of the past half-century as a brief pause in their Imperium. We have all tried to build a free Africa here, now we have to fight for it. One people, one continent...""<br/><br/>""One Empire."" Senator Kidude interrupted. ""Is that the way of it? You said you were not here to preach.""<br/><br/>""I said I was not here to preach in the people in the streets, but I am here to talk to their government. Though, I am beginning to wonder, what do the people think about their government's decision in this case?""<br/><br/>There was a telling pause, and brief moment where Mwashinga looked at Dr. Sumari. And then she understood.<br/><br/>""Does my government know that I being held captive."" Taytu asked pointedly. <br/><br/>""No."" Mwashinga muttered. ""Not yet. We do not see you as under arrest.""<br/><br/>""You do not see, you do not see, you do not see."" she muttered to herself. ""You should tell my government the truth, even if you do not know the truth yourself.""<br/><br/>""And what is the truth, Le'elt Taytu?"" Senator Kidude asked politely.<br/><br/>""That you have abducted the Minister of the Ethiopian government on false pretenses, a Minister who is the sister and only surviving heir of that government's Monarch, and that you have chosen to flout a treaty between our nations that has benefited for four years.""<br/><br/>""Only surviving heir?"" Kidude replied. ""You have not had the latest news then. A Chinese search party found your Queen and the two children alive on the island of Socotra. I believe one of the children is yours?""<br/><br/>""What?"" she was confused at first. Her heart began to flutter, and she tried to see a way his claim might be a political falsehood, but she could not think of any reason for him to lie about this. ""But you said...""<br/><br/>""I am still sorry for the loss of your mother, Le'elt Taytu. But the rest of your kin has been found. I assumed you had been informed.""<br/><br/>""Alive?"" she had grieved for five days, but they were alive. ""I did not think... but in the middle of the ocean?""<br/><br/>""Socotra is in the middle of the ocean too."" Kidude said.<br/><br/>""I think we should adjourn for the present moment to let Le'elt Taytu process this news."" Mwashinga ordered. ""We will meet with you again soon enough. Until then, you will be returned to your suites.""<br/><br/>Taytu had did not have a reply. Her mind was somewhere else now, with a child who was on his way to China. </div>"

The filthy concrete tube, barely wide enough to accommodate an adult man moving through at a crouched scurry, left each passing Spaniard thoroughly smeared with what they dearly hoped to be mud. Even so, it was preferable to braving the flames. Tongues of flame crawled down the berm from which the culvert emptied, unfurling a red coal carpet of smoldering scrubgrass as it spread; winds flowing off the sea blew hellfire seeds over the land, depositing them on the dry hills where they sprouted into wildfires. The inferno was growing out of control; it seemed Luis and his compatriots were fortunate to escape the city when they did.<br/><br/>The landscape laid out beyond the outskirts of Djibouti was a rugged and barren expanse. Wadis ran down from the hills and then expanded into dry gravelly washes that ran down toward Djibouti's western flank. The hills themselves glowed, reflecting the light of burning Djibouti. <br/><br/>A shooting star flickered across the smog-choked sky, a bright red cherry illuminating the hellclouds wafting from Djibouti with a spasmic glow. It raced overhead at great speed, arcing over the city on a sputtering contrail of smoke and embers and fell down to the mountains. It fell to Earth with a white-hot flash, generating a blossom of pulverized rock and soil that ringed a flowerhead of orange fire. Before the rumbling bang traversed the kilometers separating that burst from the Spaniards' ears, another four fireballs howled overhead with a whistling scream and crashed into the hillsides with a high-explosive punch. The hillsides roiled with ejected dust and rubble, it reminded Luis of the clouds of agitated silt that invariably kicked up when his feet hit the bottom of his childhood swimming spot.<br/><br/>""Prometeos..."" Hector declared in reverent murmur. ""They're firing the Prometeos.""<br/><br/>The shadows cast by the Spanish infantry pivoted about their boots as the fireballs arced past. The Prometeos, armored rocket artillery that had so terrified the Batistan Loyalists in the Italian Civil War, had finally issued their response to Hassan's incendiary shells. Rockets laden with explosive warheads rained destruction upon the hillsides where the Ethiopian artillery had been positioned minutes before. Any soldiers or equipment that had not yet escaped the abandoned lines would be destroyed utterly.<br/><br/>Under the withering fire of the Spanish rockets, the platoon advanced. In the scrublands beyond the city, suitable cover was scarce and far between. Maneuvers had to be conducted quickly and with appropriate strategy. Luis and Hector scurried across the gravel and dust to a cluster of scrap-built huts situated alongside a gravel road far enough of Djibouti's outskirts so as to not succumb to the blazes. Rusting boxes of corrugated metal orbited around a scorched pit of ashes, crude doorways were shut with splintered pallets, chain link fencing, even mattress springs. Whatever the city could not find use, the tribesmen who occupied this camp utilized.<br/><br/>""Clear the buildings!"" The platoon leader ordered as the Spaniards approached the camp. Any edifice that remained unburnt could very well harbor Ethiopian soldiers or armed militia; any building encountered had to be assured to be clear of any potential threat. The machine gun team took care of this duty on behalf of the platoon: the gunner bore the mighty firearm down on the shanties and squeezed the trigger. His body shuddered as the machine gun coughed forth a torrent of lead. The sound of metal on metal was heard as the bullets tore jagged holes through aluminum and tin, one particularly flimsy hut collapsed in a cloud of dust and rubbish under the fusillade. A small pile of belt links and hot bullet casings clinked at the gunner's boots as he raised the gun back to his shoulders.<br/><br/>""Clear,"" the gunner declared, admiring his work as his companions moved forward around him. Luis dearly hoped that nobody had been inside these huts, but made sure his expression betrayed no sense of disapproval. He had learned by now that any lack of enthusiasm was best kept to himself.<br/><br/>""Good work. Go and check these things for supplies. After our landing, I don't know if I can trust our leadership to supply us once we move inland. Meet back here in two minutes.""<br/><br/>The Spaniards fanned out into the slum, tearing their way into the refuse-built shanties. Luis made his way to one of the nearer huts and wrangled with a 'door' made from the springy skeleton of a mattress - tatters of upholstery flesh still hanging to the rusting bones.<br/><br/>""Hey, Luis, try <span class=""bb-i"">knocking</span>!"" Hector teased. He launched a booted foot into the tin wall of the same hut, kicking his way clear through the flimsy metal sheeting before barging inside and ransacking it.<br/><br/>Luis joined him through the gaping hold he had kicked in, searching for anything they might need. Firelight flickered inside through a scattering of bulletholes in the walls, but there was no corpse laying in their midst. It seemed the tenants of this place had fled before the arrival of the Armada, a relief to Luis. As Hector rooted through the inhabitant's meager belongings like a famished hog, Luis noted an opened can on the dirt floor beside a bedroll. 'Kippered Herrings' the label read in English. Only two filets of oily fish remained - the dweller of this hut had been diligently rationing this meager can. Perhaps it was the only protein this person would consume in an entire week. For Luis, it brought into question the validity of Spain's mission in Africa: how much threat did the Ethiopian Empire really pose to Spain when this sample of its citizenry seemed worse-off than many beggars in Madrid. Luis and Hector returned to the rally point empty-handed, as did most of the other infantrymen.<br/><br/>""This is what I get for expecting to forage from a people who haven't evolved past hunting and gathering."" The Lieutenant declared, unimpressed with their findings. ""I hope for our sake that our supply routes remain intact.""<br/><br/>A deep, gut-rattling blast shook the land, shaking the earth beneath the Spaniards' feet and even knocking down a poorly-constructed hut. Their attention was immediately raptured, Luis and his countrymen turned to the hills to their west, and discovered that one of them had ceased to exist. A cloud of dust spread and collapsed where one hill had stood moments before. The pitter-patter of rain could be heard falling on the hard desert earth around them - except it wasn't rain, but rather tiny fragments of pulverized rock. A brief flash of yellow-white light manifested as another peak tumbled down in a cascade of dust and rock. Another hill had succumbed to the Armada's cathartic vengeance.<br/><br/>""Safe to say, any enemy presence in those hills that was there before is gone now,"" their Lieutenant spoke up, bits of rock plinking off his helmet. ""Let's advance."" To the drumbeats of naval artillery in the harbor, the Spaniards left the slummy encampment and made their way westward down the gravel road. The road was filthy, even by impoverished, East African standards. All manner of refuse, from cigarette butts to goat pellets, had fallen into the gravel; much of the litter appeared to be fresh. A great deal of traffic had traveled these roads recently. Refugees, likely.<br/><br/>And a new surge of traffic was coming down the road now. Phlegmy diesel motors roared behind the infantrymen as they hiked up the road, dozens and dozens of pairs of headlights coming up the road going westward from the burning city. The Spaniards stepped off the shoulder of the road to make way for the approaching vehicles. The first column was comprised of armored trucks, each one a metal-plated brick of an automobile riding on massive tires with aggressive tread. They moved at a respectable speed for rigs of their size - every bit of 50 kilometers per hour by Luis' reckoning. Gunmen stood waist-high from portholes on the top of the cars, each one manning high caliber machine guns or fat mortar-esque cannons depending on the vehicle's loadout. They regarded Luis and his adopted platoon with apathetic curiosity as they sped past into the night. The armored cavalry units of the Third Mechanized was on the move.<br/><br/>Not far behind the armored trucks came the halftracks - giant trucks fitted with huge tires in the front and treads in the rear like a tank. The first ones to trundle past were fitted with howitzer-like guns in the rear; these were vehicles equipped to deliver firepower comparable to that of a tank in a vehicle that was twice as mobile. After the cannon-mounted halftracks came those carrying personnel. Beneath canopies of olive-colored fabric, up to ten Spaniards clad in the khaki combat dress of the Spanish rode past.<br/><br/>“Hector!” A familiar voice called over the din of the heavy motors. “Luis! Is that you?!”<br/><br/>Before Luis and his companion could ascertain who called for them, someone vaulted over the lip of the bed of a passing halftrack. He tumbled to the ground and jogged over to the pair. It was Lieutenant Ayesta, their superior who they had presumed killed in the landing.<br/><br/>“Christ, are you two a sight for sore eyes.” Ayesta gave Luis a friendly knocking on the helmet. “I’d thought I lost you all.”<br/><br/>“What happened?” Hector blurted. “What happened to the rest of our platoon?”<br/><br/>“Our boat was torpedoed not long after we’d disembarked. Wasted them all except me, or so I’d thought.” Luis felt Ayesta’s matter-of-fact tone seemed rather inappropriate. Here was a man who had been charged with the lives of twenty subordinates, and virtually all had been killed in a single fell swoop. For loosing perhaps eighteen of his men, Lieutenant Ayesta seemed to be in fantastic spirits. Luis expected just a little more despair given the circumstances. “What a relief to see you two, and to be rid of that clusterfuck.”<br/><br/>They glanced over to Djibouti burning bright against the night behind them. Winds bearing down off the sea agitated the inferno behind them, churning and bellowing the blazes into swirling torrents of fire. It would be weeks before the fires died completely, all the while burning hot enough to reduce metal to wilted lumps of formless slag and render brick and mortar chalky cinders. Djibouti had ceased to exist, there would be nothing for the Spanish to occupy here.<br/><br/>“Then what do we do? What is our aim now?” Asked Luis.<br/><br/>Ayesta pulled his lips taut and whistled sharply and loudly enough to be heard easily over the halftrack engines. He waved up into the air and flagged down a halftrack coming down the road, which pulled off the dusty shoulder and came to halt before Ayesta and the other Spaniards.<br/><br/>“We give chase to the Africans, and repay them.” Ayesta declared, nodding to the parked halftrack.<br/><br/>“Mount up!”</div>"

He could feel the breath of the men who stood silently beside their massive machines and he mused quietly to himself about how much effort it must have taken to make concrete gleam in a space that would ordinarily be filled with billowing steam and covered in the sparks of welding crews.<br/> <br/>It had been a long time since he had been anywhere near a factory but now, with the news from Africa, the small idea at the back of his mind was becoming a reality. And that reality was, Argentina was a nation longing for greatness. For as long as they had could remember they had languished under the watchful eye of the Brazilians or the Americans, always someone trying to impose their foreign policy and direct Argentina in a direction that best suited them.<br/> <br/>Well, no more. Argentina would forge her own path.<br/> <br/>It would begin here, in this long factory, its usually roaring machinery and shouting men deathly quiet as they all waited. The President-Generals visit had been sudden and unexpected, announced only twelve hours before his arrival. There had been a panic as the management rushed to ensure that the facility was spotless for his visit. It was impressive, if he was honest with himself, but it was not the gleaming floors he had come to see, not the newly washed and pressed workers uniforms. It was the machines they built he was interested in.<br/> <br/>Rows of half built aircraft filled the factory floor. Some looked ready to fly that moment, only a few touches of paint left, while others were nothing but skeletal frames. Each had a small snub nose and a powerful engine on either wing. These aircraft, nicknamed the Mosquito, were the product of the brilliant mind of George Volkert, an Englishman who had fled the United Kingdom during its trials and internal conflict. He had virtually launched the Argentine aircraft industry himself almost twenty years before and now, as he planned to retire, the Argentine Republic found itself more in need of his skills then ever before.<br/> <br/>So far only thirty of the aircraft had been built, those on the factory floor would make sixty and after that the project had been slated to end and the factory to return to producing civilian aircraft but that could change, in fact it would change, on that very day.<br/> <br/>The Mosquito was a fighter-bomber, fast, agile and well-armed. It was like everything else that the President-General considered useful in a military machine, adaptable, light and fast. Not for him the interest in heavy battle tanks. He had seen in the various conflicts around the world how air power could dominate even the most heavily armoured tank and so he had steered his nation away from getting caught up in the main battle tank frenzy and instead focused on small, highly mobile fighting forces. He had yet to test this theory but it seemed he would be given a chance after all.<br/> <br/>“Impressive!” He had halted, raising his voice so that it seemed to echo in the vast building. “Very impressive! I am delighted to see so many aircraft on the verge of completion!”<br/> <br/>His eyes darted down the length of the manufacturing line again and in his mind’s eye he saw the aircraft darting through a smoke filled sky, the landscape below them shifting from desert, to jungle and eventually to a small series of islands surrounded by an angry sea. He took a breath, paused, and then changed the course of his nation forever.<br/> <br/>“I am delighted to announce that his factory has been chosen to produce another one hundred and twenty aircraft!”<br/> <br/>There was a stunned silence and for the first time the workers moved, glancing around at their compatriots. For them this was good news, it meant work for the next year at least. But the underlying meaning had not escaped them, something was brewing.<br/> <br/>“You are Argentina!” Said the President-General. “And with your help she will grow strong again!”<br/> <br/>Then he turned and walked swiftly down the long rows he had just traversed, his staff officers running after him to catch up. He did not stop until he stood before the plant manager, a burly local man who had gotten rich off this government contract. He was staring at the President-General in amazement.<br/> <br/>“Mr. Monreo, I expect this plant to be running at full capacity within a week.”<br/><br/>Then the President-General was gone and silence fell across the space again until Monreo started as if waking from a dream. <br/><br/>“You heard the man, get to work!”<br/><br/>*********************************************************************** <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Loyada, Pan-African Empire</span><br/><br/>“The sky is burning.” Said the policeman, his hand clutching at the worn grip of the revolver at his waist. He, along with the rest of the villagers, were clustered on the western edge of their tiny town staring towards the flaming sky that had replaced the normally placid nightly glow of Djibouti. <br/><br/>“It sure seems like.” Replied one of the village elders. He held his own weapon, a short-barrelled rifle that his grandfathers grandfather had passed down the family until it came to him. “The Spanish have great ships that can burn the very ocean itself.”<br/><br/>As if to prove his point the burning trails of fuel from the smashed Spanish warships had caught fire and the ocean seemed to dance with a thousand red gems. If they had known anything about war, or warships, they have realized that not all the fighting was one sided. <br/><br/>“Will they come here?” Asked a small woman, she was the bakers wife, only 5’7 and almost 300 pounds and her chins shook slightly as she talked. It might have been comical but for the intense fear in her eyes.<br/><br/>“Probably, it is the only coastal road.” Said the policeman. He was lost in an inner thought. Would he resist? It would be futile he was sure but he did not want to disappoint his Emperor. But then, would the distant emperor even hear of or care if a lone policeman tried to stem the invaders, wouldn’t it seem more foolish than brave, a revolver against a tank. Foolish. Definitely foolish. <br/><br/>“Listen.” Snapped a youth, he was tall and lanky and wore a basketball jersey showing some American sports team called the “Bulls.” They had always called him “Little Bull” as a joke but now his voice was deadly earnest. “Engines.”<br/><br/>They all fell quiet and sure enough they could hear the growl of engines in the darkness, coming towards them from the north. The policeman glanced behind them to where a small knot of militia were huddled together. He wondered if they would surrender or fight. <br/><br/>Their officer looked towards him as if reading his mind, gave an apologetic shrug, and the militia melted into the darkness. The policeman supposed he hadn’t considered running away but he couldn’t leave his home, two wives and nine children, they would forever regard him as a coward.<br/><br/>The noise grew quickly until, quite suddenly, a vehicle loomed out of the dark. It wasn’t what they had been expecting. The Ethiopian soldiers had long told them stories of the huge tanks the Spanish had, how they could breath fire and crush men with their treads. Instead this vehicle was not much larger than an army truck. It had four tires and an armoured head that rotated from side to side, the long muzzle of the gun blackened to match the night. <br/><br/>“What are you going to do?” The elder asked the policeman as they stood together, their weapons clutched tightly to their chests. <br/><br/>Headlight snapped on, blinding them, and the vehicle stopped. They were aware of other shapes moving in the darkness around them now. Men on horseback, and behind the armoured car more engines growled like lions on the prowl. <br/><br/>“Drop. Weapons.” The words were poorly pronounced and barely understandable but the policeman got the gist of them and, staring into the horribly black muzzle that suddenly seemed to yawn bigger than any cave in the world, he felt his bladder let go and he hastily threw down the revolver. The elders weapon hit the ground at the same time his did. <br/><br/>“Behave, no harm will come. Where soldiers?” The voice called from the vehicle again and the policeman shook his head violently, gesturing towards the darkness and doing his best to make the unseen voice understand that they had gone. <br/><br/>There was a long pause and then a voice called from the darkness in a foreign tongue and a horseman rode passed along the edge of the headlight beam. He was tall, well dressed and wore a cloth cap rather than a helmet, a sword dangled from his hip and the policeman could see a carbine thrust into the saddle holster. There was a brief exchange in a language he did not understand and then suddenly the light went out.<br/><br/>There was a click of hooves against the roadway and then the horseman loomed over them in the dark. He leaned down and the policeman could just make out a large bird clutching a skull and crossbones on the mans cap badge. <br/><br/>“You will behave?’ The question was in marginally better accent and the policeman could only nod. “Good. No behave, we shoot. Bang bang.” He made the motion and the two local men only nodded harder. “Good, my thank, now move.”<br/><br/>He waved them to the side of the road, engines roared and the armoured car tore off into the darkness. More came, more than either man could count though neither had any schooling, but it seemed like an endless parade of armoured cars, cavalry, lines of marching infantry and artillery pieces. When the last of them had vanished into the darkness the two men breathed a sigh of relief. <br/><br/>They would be dead two hours later when regular Spanish army units, following on the heels of the Condor Legion, secured the village and shot everyone they could find. <br/><br/></div>"

In the late of night Jun shuffled about upstairs. Slowly working his muscles and getting them to move as he wanted. The cold numbness that had gripped his lethargic muscles ebbing to a dull throb. He could place one foot before the other, and eventually get dressed.<br/><br/>His clothes were sparse and thin. Filled with their own fair share of holes that left his skin and scars exposed. Though for over-top, one of the house inhabitants had donated their own clothes to wear over top his chaffed and singed outfit. And that was all he had left. Padding himself down the terrifying realization that he was effectively naked came upon him. It spoke the cold uncomforting words of reality in his ears and left him to his own fear.<br/><br/>He had no coat, and he had no gun. Not even a sword, a knife, or basic food supplies to carry him on. All of those were gone, missing in some way or another. He found and figured himself stranded and alone somewhere in Russia.<br/><br/>He wasn't alone though. Not yet. And with his legs recovered from their sleepy numbness he took the daring adventure down the stairs of the house. The stillness of late-night had rendered all things to slumber in a deep mortuary calm. So much so that the rattle of the pads of mice in the ceiling echoed like foot falls in a temple hall. And there was among the eccentric clawing of mice in the attic a certain human noise. Something that was not asleep in this late hour. It was a something that grew louder as Jun forced himself down the stairs.<br/><br/>At the bottom of the landing Jun stepped out to a part of the house he had not had the careful moments to see behind the gawking faces of children and youths as he was wrestled up the stairs. It had been a moment in his tenure that brewed an intense discomfort from everyone present. Something commanded with the fluid skill of the young doctor Alexandrov.<br/><br/>The home carried a shady sort of faded luxury. A luxury though that was of overabundance, but one of comfort. But in the years of abandonment and poor management that glory it once had faded back. The cracks in the walls and peels in the plaster spoke of the same retiring pride as present among the rest of Russia. The crayon and marker drawings of the wall – both born juvenile innocence and adolescent angst – straddled the same space as printed roses in the stark dichotomy of contrasts that became all the more apparent in Russia after the czar's violent passing; the juvenile pursuit of color and pride of identity having now matured when the failures of their once youthful era came to light. It had matured the and galvanized the Russian people far faster than many Europeans would have like to experience, and spun them into their middle years before they knew what happened of their younger days. And Russia's newest generation would have to bear witness to this before any change could happen.<br/><br/>Jun's feet wobbled the moment they touched the carpeted floor, unsure where to bend and he swayed on his feet to recover balance as he tipped towards the dining room, where the dozens of chairs sat tightly packed around a dark oaken table, stripped of a varnished shine. In the dim green light of a gas lantern a long shadow cast itself across the table and onto the wall.<br/><br/>Stumbling into the room, Shu spoke: “I was wondering how long you'd stop stumbling around.” he looked over his shoulder as he fingered a bottle of beer across a faux-marble counter-top. Alongside him a battered olive-green lantern burned bright. Its harsh light glowed on every surface and threw sharp bladed shadows against everything else.<br/><br/>“If I can, I think I'll be leaving.” Jun said.<br/><br/>“I realize that.” nodded Shu, “Come sit though – or stand – but don't be heading out just yet.” he invited dryly, looking up at him. In the dark wells of his eyes Jun couldn't tell if Shu was bordering on the edge of intoxication, or the slow languid pace of his voice was legitimate pained loss. But he obliged him all the same, walking to along the counter where he leaned up at its edge.<br/><br/>In the lamp's lime-light Shu's face glowed pale and wraith-like. He frowned like a corpse as he starred into the smoldering gas-light. His hands idly playing with the long neck of the brown bottle. “I think the solace I might be able to take these days is China is on the move.” he opened softly, “The latest news has them on the other side of Vladivostok. The Republican army is in chaos and someone's shooting up the capital itself. I don't know if it's China or someone in the Mafiya taking advantage of the current political state to exert himself. All I know for certain is everything passed Tyumen is completely dark.”<br/><br/>“What sort of dark?” Jun asked.<br/><br/>“Radio dark, broadcast dark. I wouldn't be surprised if the lights went out. Power can already be sketchy here in Perm, more since oil and gas production was slimmed down and diverted to military use. I have my cards on our brothers being the reason for the Republican East seemingly falling off the face of the world.<br/><br/>“It's scary, being on the other-side of the war curtain. You spend so much time on our side and in the loop everything becomes comfortable. But truth be told I don't know where we're going to start bombing Perm, and that scares the shit out of me.” Shu shivered and he took a swig from the bottle of beer.<br/><br/>Jun could understand, and knew he wasn't the only one being isolated here.<br/><br/>“I don't know if you ever told me why you were in Perm or not. Did you?” he asked.<br/><br/>“I don't believe I did.” answered Jun.<br/><br/>“Did you ever want to say?”<br/><br/>“Chasing the Mafiya. I'm not going to elaborate.”<br/><br/>“Well I guess that's how it happens.” Shu sighed, “But I suppose that's what someone wills. Although I don't know how well with only one person on the job. Do you got back up?”<br/><br/>“Just me.” Jun answered, “But tell me, what's up with the doctor?”<br/><br/>“Peter?” said Shu, “Oh, he's a local. I think this house was connected to him or a  relative at some point. I never got into it, he just let me and my partner take up residence here. Now we all live here as his tenants.”<br/><br/>“Tenants? So does he collect rent?”<br/><br/>“Oh hardly, it's just what he calls us when the city comes to wonder. They stop asking at that, and I redirect them to him if they get me. Same goes for the rest of the kids.<br/><br/>“But Peter, he's got some spark by design that wants him to do something positive. I might say he may have supported Dimitriov before he went ape shit or whatever drove that man. But since then he got disenfranchised with the government's policies, and that's where I found him in his life.<br/><br/>“China was his next model of inspiration. I assume he ate up what the NPN puts out. I don't know. Fuck I sound cynical about us, all of us now.” groaned Shu as he lowered his head into his arms.<br/><br/>“So was collecting a bunch of kids part of your original plan?” Jun inquired. He leaned from one foot of the other, kicking one against the floor to wake the muscles back up as he put his weight on the other. His hands planted on the counter for support.<br/><br/>“Not initially, no. But it evolved into it.” Shu told him, “We were to put up a network so locals might see China in a better light. Or get some demographic that'd favor us. We weren't going to be silent on the matter, but we weren't certainly going to be telling people we were IB. Our cover was a fictitious charity group out of China looking to simply help up. No one would shoot at charity: that's how we built it to interpret the orders.”<br/><br/>“But your partner gets killed all the same.”<br/><br/>“And now I'm stuck holding the weight and no where else to go with it.” Shu bemoaned in a mournful tone, “The project isn't gone, but it's certainly not going anywhere.<br/><br/>“I just want an escape. I want out. I want to be recalled and go back home to Hainan!<br/><br/>“You don't realize how nice warm beaches are until you're removed from them, and frozen in a ghetto.<br/><br/>“But Peter, he's a good man. He does what he can and tries to keep us funded. We all work together to help each other out. There's not much for school but the older ones help the younger in their studies. From time-to-time I offer informal Chinese lessons. The youngest here is eight and she can count to twenty confidently.”<br/><br/>“Eight? What happens for that to happen?” Jun inquired. Shu needed to let it go, by the way he held himself and the low, soft, agitated tone. He hovered somewhere near being a bereft mourner, and his clear disposition was becoming bleak and scary.<br/><br/>“Parents die. Municipality and country doesn't really have a child support network. There's no adoption system in play and no foster service. What does exist is poor and underfunded and they prioritize based on class more than anything. And what ultimately happens then as I've found is they simply get the kids out of the nation to Spain, Germany, or America.”<br/><br/>“Sounds dire.”<br/><br/>“It is...” Shu said with drifting words. He lapsed into silence as he turned to look into the light of the lantern.<br/><br/>“I suppose you want to go.” he said again.<br/><br/>“I need some gear.” Jun said.<br/><br/>“Thought so much, look in the cupboard under the sink.” Shu invited, pointing a weighty finger towards the corner of the room.<br/><br/>Under a porcelain wash basin was a simple hand-carved cupboard door. Jun opened that up and rifled in the harsh darkness, pulling out a heavy package wrapped in cloth. He pulled it out.<br/><br/>Wrapped in a tight bundle by twine was the coat of an IB agent. Placing it on the table Jun unrolled it. Revealed to the lantern light among the embrace of the heavy black fabric gleamed the familiar handgun of IB service. Though grimy with the chrome finish scratched deep in more than many places it lay on a bed of spare clothes alongside a box of bullets.<br/><br/>“I don't know if any of the spare clothes will fit you, but it's the best I got left of him.” Shu said, in reference to his former partner, “I got all his pertinent gear to turn back in if I get home, his knife namely. But it shouldn't be hard to excuse the absence of his fire-arm.<br/><br/>“Just turn it back into the Xianjing headquarters when you get back to China for me.”<br/><br/>“All of this?” Jun exclaimed, looking down.<br/><br/>“Of fucking course.” Shu barked, “I'm not going to use it. And you have better use of it than I.<br/><br/>“Just as a fair warning though: at least one shirt has the exit and entry wounds of his death. He never wore the coat except in Winter. And Summer in Russia can be shockingly humid and warm, so I wouldn't wear the coat.<br/><br/>“Unless you can get a horse head, I wouldn't really think of wearing the coat. Use it as a blanket.” he rambled dryly and distantly, “And one other thing...”<br/><br/>Reaching into his pockets he rummaged around. With a satisfied grunt he smiled, and placed on the table a pill bottle. “Peter had to jump through some intense hoops. I'd say he's more scary than me at the smuggling business to get these.” he pushed the bottle across the table. And though in Russian, Jun could tell what it was: naloxone.<br/><br/>“Medication?”<br/><br/>“I don't know how much doctors back home order you to take regularly to treat your condition. But Peter got a hold of it and told me to give it to you when you leave. But to offer the warning: be discriminate when or if you take any. You maybe have enough for a weak and certainly popping some right now will summon all the hurt of your injuries and you being bed-ridden for so long at once. If your body doesn't properly heal, then it won't be pleasant.”<br/><br/>“I'll be sure to keep that in mind...” Jun wondered, as he picked up the bottle and turning it over in his hands. Watching the deeply silhouetted pills against the then orange-filtered lamp-light.<br/><br/>Jun nodded as he popped open the main cylinder of the hand-gun, loading in fresh brass-encased bullets from the musty cardboard box. It wasn't well kept, but that was only in appearance. And each smooth pass of the brass against the walls of their new home brought a new relaxed sort of pleasure to Jun's ears.<br/><br/>“... And one more thing...” Shu started up again, voice restrained by hesitation, “I suppose I should give you a name, someone you can go to for support. And maybe give you a new stepping stone on your mission; however insane it is.<br/><br/>“Yu Quan is the leading agent serving in the Russian south, in the steppe north of the Caucus. Word is: he and his partner contacted a Chinese expat community that fled home during the Revolution hoping to find someone in Russia who'd hear their pleas and rush to restore the Qing when they fell. No one listened, but they stayed.<br/><br/>“Now, I- uh... Don't know the condition of what's going on there.” he added in frustration wrapping his hands around the neck of the beer bottle, “So it could be anything. But there's been a surge of Cossacks entering the region from Ukraine and elsewhere to feed off of the Turkish power-vacuum. They're in conflict with some of the regional Mafiya gangs, and I think the Horse Lord had some tentative interests in the region, but that could be in question with him out of the picture. Alongside that: Georgian, Azeri, and all kinds of bandits down there. The region is wild, and I'm pretty sure it's rife for the picking for Mafiya interests.<br/><br/>“If there's any kind of action, there's going to no doubt be big names down there. But Quan and what sorts he can muster would know more, and know the situation better.” Shu paused briefly as he rubbed his eyes, “Fuck I'm tired...” he complained silently to himself.<br/><br/>“Where's Quan then?” Jun pried flatly. The cylinder of the revolver clapped back into place with a satisfying jerk of his hand.<br/><br/>“On the shores of the Caspian, northern side. If you take a boat down the Kama river to the Volga and head south along it, you'll come to Astrakhan or somewhere like that. Passed the city into the Volga delta somewhere in the Volodarsky region you'll find him. I'm sure you could ask about the Chinese commune and someone will direct you, but it'll be risky.”<br/><br/>“I'm sure I'll find it.”<br/><br/>“I'm sure you will...” sighed Shu.<br/><br/>There was a moment of silence and calm between the two. Shu starred off into space as he rapped his fingers against the counter-top, Jun checked over the gear.<br/><br/>“When I get back home, I'm going to retire from this shit.” said Shu. His voice low but knowing, “Go back home, to Hainan. Open a flower shop.<br/><br/>“I'm over this. I'm over all of this, comrade. I'm burned out. I want to handle something that doesn't kill, or lead to others' deaths. I'm going to open a flower shop.<br/><br/>“What will you do?” he asked.<br/><br/>“I don't know.” Jun replied.</div>"

People were soon dried under their  umbrellas or inside one of the many art galleries. Cars drove on the street to get to one of the many landmarks in Paris, especially to Salle Pleyel. One of the many famous concert halls in Europe and it was highlighted as one of the best concert halls in France. <br/><br/>A woman with a blight yellow umbrella walked the sidewalks as she was looking all over for something. She looked into buildings, alleys, anywhere that was accessible. She looked like one of the models from the fashion magazines as her white skin stool out from the cloudy skies and anyone around her. And she was wearing a red dress with red high heels as she tried to find the thing. Then, she dug in her purse for a piece of people and it took her a moment to dig until she found it and brought it out of the purse. The tiny paper read in France: <br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""Passer à Palais de l'Elysée et vous me verrez là - Adélaïde"" (""Go to Élysée Palace and you will see me there - Adelaide"")</span><br/><br/>She kept a strong grip on the paper and umbrella as she kept walking until she stopped near the intersection. There she saw the palace's monumental gate with four Ionic columns, flanked by walls topped by a balustrade. The guards, with their blight uniforms, marched near the gate of the palace and they didn't mind the flashes from their cameras. She looked at the gate and the guards until she saw a figure inside the palace's gate. The woman was interested in the figure and tried to get a good look of the figure. Then, she heard her name being shouted out loud by another woman. ""Victoria! Victoria!"" the woman shouted and waved at her as she was also holding a blight yellow umbrella. She turned as soon as she heard her name being shouted and walked towards her as she said, ""You must be Adelaide."". <br/><br/>""I am Adelaide and you must be Victoria."" Adelaide said to Victoria with her broken English as she wished that she could speak in her native language. ""Yeah, I am Victoria. It's amazing here! Better than back home in Washington!"" Victoria said with excitement as she couldn't wait for her first day at her new modeling job. Adelaide smiled her Victoria's excitement as she said in a happy tone, ""Then, let's go! Follow me to your new home!"". The women began to walk and Adelaide talked about her new place; however, she was still curious at the mysterious figure she saw earlier. But that soon stopped as Adelaide got her attention and sighed as she had to explain it again in her broken English.<hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Paris, France</span><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Élysée Palace</span><br/><br/>The sounds of raindrops was relaxing for the president as he was busy overlooking papers about the current war with Spain and Pan-African Empire. Things were getting interesting as the Pan-African lost an important battle near one of the coastal cities near the Mediterranean Sea. And they suffered heavy losses. The empty tea cup was near him and he was too busy reading in order to care about it. Is this the moment that he had been waiting for? He wasn't such, but he was willing to take a risk on it. He stopped reading the papers and looked at the time. 3:30. The Minister of Defense should be around her at any moment and then he could ask about this opportunity.<br/><br/>He waited until he heard a knock and he got out of his chair and said, ""Come on in."". The minister walked in and greeted the president and sat down on the chair near the desk. ""President, I just got word about the battle that was a heavy lost for the African nation."" the minister said as he looked around the office and saw the president, sitting on his chair. ""I know, Michaël. That is why that should take this opportunity and launch the invasion."" the president said with a smile on his face as soon as he said the word 'invasion'.<br/><br/>""President."" Michaël begun to speak, but he was cut off from him as he said to him, ""Come on now, you don't have to be all formal on me."". He sighed in annoyance and then said, ""Élie, I know you want to launch the invasion; but, I am not even such that our men are ready for it. I mean, they have been training in Madagascar for almost two months. But, France doesn't need to be in war to gain land."". Élie shook his head around as he said, ""What? You think that Spain will just give us Algeria back? Don't be that stupid."". <br/><br/>""I'm not. I am just being careful about this. The Confederation of Tanganyika and Mozambique have a powerful ally, even from our standards."" the minister said as he was going to get him calm, ""I am just saying that we take our time in this."". The president stool up from his chair and walked over to the window and said out loud, ""Look outside. It's cloudy as hell out there. Just imagine what it is like in Tanganyika and Mozambique. All sunny."". <br/><br/>The Minister shook his head around in shame and said, ""I don't care about the sun. In fact, I like the clouds here more than the sun. Anyways, I think it's dumb to go into this head first. We still need time."". The president has got sick and tired of the minister's delaying of the invasion and he said, ""We have been training our men and ships for months at Madagascar. And we can rely on the United Kingdoms for support, if they do decide to help out their allies. And we have half of our navy in the Mediterranean Sea and half in base in Madagascar. I am such that we are ready for this."". Michaël gave up fighting against him and said to him annoying, ""Fine. I will inform the Major-General of the navy and Commander of the army that the invasion is underway. It will take a few weeks to launch it from our base in Madagascar, but we will be at Maputo as soon as possible."".<br/><br/>The president smiled and said to him, ""I knew that you would come around."". The Minister got out of the chair and walked to the door as she said, ""I just hope to God that you know the risks of this invasion."". Then, he exited out of the room and walked as fast as he could to get out of the palace.<hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Toliara, Madagascar</span><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Toliara Military Base &amp; Port</span><br/><br/>The military base was busy with supplies on the move and soldiers just returning for their training in the jungles. The base and port is located about a mile and half away from the city of Toliara to pervert the citizens to have to deal with the military and their daily tasks. Plus, it was near a large, thick jungle perfect for training soldiers. They train in the jungles daily to defend Madagascar if it does get invaded and to get know the jungles of Africa. <br/><br/>The port was also busy with French ships waiting for the next missions at sea, which were just scouting the other countries in Africa. Overlooking the ships, Major-General Martial Solé was sitting in his office as he waited for something to arrive at his desk. Martial was just getting done with his tea as he heard footsteps coming from the hallway. He set down the tea as soon as he saw that an officer was at the doorway. The major spoke to the officer first as he said, ""Why are you here?"".<br/><br/>""Major, sir, The Minister of Defense wishes to talk to you on the phone."" the officer said to the Major as he left the doorway and headed back to his position. Interested at the minister's request, he picked up the phone and put in the numbers. A moment later, he heard the minister's voice as he said to him, ""Major, are you there?"". Martial silently laughed for a moment at that sentence and then said, ""Yeah, I am here. What do you need, sir?"". <br/><br/>""The operation is activated. Get your ships ready for the invasion and the long trip."" the minister said on the other line as there was silence from both sides of the line. ""Well, I will inform them to get ready for it. Does the commander know about the invasion?"" Martial said with doubt in his voice, as he thinks that they aren't ready for it. ""He does know and he is currently talking to the generals at Madagascar."" Michaël said towards the major as he was getting ready to hang up the line.<br/><br/>""Thank you, sir. I will talk to you again."" the major said as there was still the shock in his voice. Michaël said his goodbyes to the major and hung up the line. Martial was still holding the phone as he decided to call the guys at the radio tower. He needed to inform everyone that the invasion is a go. </div>"

He remembered that there was a war to fight and he became involved. He even did something that no Emperor had done since Menelik II. Yaqob went to church.<br/><br/>He stood in the back, dressed in humble white robes, and listened to the first liturgy, where hymns were sung in low somber tones coming together like the sound of a medieval choir. The church was decorated with golden crosses, and gold-framed portraits of ancient saints. Richly covered tapestries covered the walls behind the alters, while the walls themselves were brightly painted with religious scenes. He felt... something, though he didn't know what. Yaqob's grandfather had been Muslim, and his own father had payed lip service to the Islamic faith, but Yaqob was barely involved in any of that growing up. He felt as if he was outside of religion, with only a vague sense of God in his thoughts. But the church had an effect on him none the less. Perhaps it was in the beauty of the building itself, or in the haunting hymns that echoed between the hard stone walls. Perhaps it was being part of something so old; a faith that had brought his people together since the days when the Romans still ruled Europe. Or maybe there was something more to it all. Maybe the religions were right.<br/><br/>When the first liturgy was over, the unbaptized were asked to leave. Yaqob knew that the priests would have loved to make an exception for him, but Yaqob politely followed the traditional laws of the church and left. He heard the tap-tap-tapping sound of Mvulu's peg-leg as his guards fell in around him. <br/><br/>His mind was still swimming with thoughts and impressions about religion when he was ambushed outside by journalists. They had been descending on the Ethiopian capital for weeks, men and women from all over the world. They came from the United States and Brazil, France and Prussia, and all other places where the national media could afford to keep their employees in an overseas war zone. The Italians garnered the most suspicion from Yaqob's guards, who eyed the ferengi for any sign of a threat. <br/><br/>It was not that Italy had tried to conquer Ethiopia once before; that had happened ninety years ago and very few held grudges about that conflict anymore. Rather, the Walinzi had reported that many of the so called 'Italian' journalists were actually disguised Spaniard reporters. It was difficult to blame them for hiding their identities. There was already a seething animosity toward white people in Ethiopia, but Spain was especially hated. If somebody was open about their Spanish nationality, they would be a target for the frustrated masses. Yaqob's advisers had insisted that he place more limits on the foreign journalists, and kick out any who were not being completely honest or open handed with their official papers. Yaqob refused. He wanted as many stories and photographs leaving the country as possible. He wanted the rest of the world to know who his people were, and what they were up against. He wanted the world to know what was at stake.<br/><br/>And so they followed him down the streets, dozens of foreign men babbling in broken Amharic, or in their own native tongues. <br/><br/>""Do you think that the rest of the world will come to your aide?"" A Brazilian reporter blurted. <br/><br/>""I hope so, for the sake of my people."" Yaqob answered.<br/><br/>A Chinese correspondent for the NPN spoke next. ""If the Pan-African Imperial Union is cut off completely from the sea, will she be able to produce enough grain to feed her people, or do you think the Spanish war-effort will cause a famine?"" he remarked in clear Amharic.<br/><br/>""Africa is a large continent, and we produce most of our food at home."" Yaqob replied. ""We hope the Spanish won't stoop to such low tactics, but we are stockpiling in case of such an event.""<br/><br/>""Have you considered stepping down to save your people?"" an Italian shouted, forcing his way through the crowd.<br/><br/>""The Spanish Empire declared war on us without any provocation, there was no ultimatums or backroom diplomacy involved. I am convinced that Spain is in this for blood, and the suddenness of the invasion seems to prove it.""<br/><br/>Yaqob eyed a Prussian journalist for a long time, expecting him to speak. He looked as if he was formulating a question, but the words never came out. Instead, a Persian spoke up.<br/><br/>""The 'Good Green Book'"" the Persian journalist started, ""That many of the youth carry around your capital now, it has some quotations that I think are interesting and relevant...""<br/><br/>""You read the entire thing?"" The Chinese corespondent interrupted.<br/><br/>""I have read it three times."" The Persian pulled a thin green book out of his pocket and waved it around. ""It is small, and reading is not that difficult if you try."" Everyone who understood the exchange laughed, and Yaqob smiled.<br/><br/>""But as I was saying."" The Persian continued. ""It has some quotations from you that I think are interesting. Here you said, at your coronation, that <span class=""bb-i"">'It is our duty not to participate in the wars, but to do everything peaceful within our power to effect peace on earth. This is no easy task, and I recognize that the average man can not accomplish such tasks. I do not ask you to all gather and stand directly in the way of conflict.</span>' do you think this could be interpreted in reverse, as a request for other nations to stay out of the African war?""<br/><br/>""As an aggressor or a defender?"" Yaqob asked.<br/><br/>""Either way."" The Persian replied. ""On the Ethiopian side or the Spanish.""<br/><br/>""I was young when I said that."" Yaqob replied. ""And perhaps too hopeful. The Spanish invasion shows that there are evils in this world that cannot be stopped by non-violent righteousness alone. I have been Emperor through trying times, and I have seen the truth.""<br/><br/>""If this is a war of evil versus good."" another Italian spoke up. ""Then how do you explain the violence in Hejaz? It is my understanding that the rebels were not well treated there.""<br/><br/>""The Hejaz Arabs were treated fairly. The rebels are violent men, but they are only a few, and their violence does not represent the whole country. Besides, if Spain had been worried about the welfare of the Hejazi Arabs, they would have came to talks rather than declared a war of invasion. Now if you will excuse me, gentlemen, I have came this far for a reason. You are welcome to join me, but I cannot answer any more questions for now. <br/><br/>The grueling walk through the city, and the suffocating press of people that surrounded him as he went by, caused his old chest-wound to ache. He put on a brave face and endured it, knowing that the whole world was looking at him. The thought of his beautiful wife and their brave son safe in China gave him the energy to hide his discomfort.  <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The refugee camp sat in the shadow of Negus Mikael General Hospital. It was a small tent city, where the Walinzi worked alongside international charities to assist civilians fleeing the war zone. Yaqob was here to help in the kitchen, but the cluster of his bodyguards made him feel that he was only getting in the way of the real aid workers. Mvulu was not happy with Yaqob's decision to come here, and the doubled number of guards was his cautious response. They stood like alert blockages, placed just in the way of the human traffic as aid workers tried to carry pots full of steaming stew or dirty dishes on their way to be cleaned. <br/><br/>The Imperial Guard had once been a lax duty during the reign of Yaqob's father, but Yohannes' death and the attempt on Yaqob's own life changed all that. They stood wearing gilded white coats and pith helmets with ostrich feather cockades, like a dandy battalion of Victorian soldiers on parade. Swords dangled by their sides, and they held stubby assault rifles in their hands. Still, these were picked men. Mvulu, their commander, stood with a Walinzi agent in the shade of a Eucalyptus tree and observed the crowd suspiciously.<br/><br/>Yaqob inhaled deeply and took in the spicy smell of the wat he was stirring. It was incredibly simple, consisting mostly of lentils and the mix of onion, butter, and spice that started any proper Ethiopian wat. Still, this meal was so humble that he felt almost foolish for his moping. When he got home, he would be able to chose from any number of professionally cooked meals. For the refugees however, it would be a dry-smelling stew outdoors in the heat. He couldn't excuse himself his emotions either. <br/><br/>It was true he had thought his family murdered at sea, but most of the refugees had known people burned alive during the Spanish assault of Djibouti. There were reports trickling in from the airmen flying missions over the city and the soldiers skirmishing on the front line. Djibouti, and all who had been in it, were black ash. It was being said the canals were so polluted with ash that Spanish attempts to drain them were leaving behind trails of caustic lye. It was also being said that people had crawled into wells trying to get away from the fire, and their corpses now poisoned the water supply. <br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty."" an elderly volunteer approached him. ""Is the wat ready? We need more for the far table.""<br/><br/>Yaqob smiled and sniffed it again. ""Yes, I think it is done. Wait here, don't worry about taking it."" the Emperor motioned to one of his guards. ""Carry this pot for the young lady. Careful, don't spill it."" The guard did not look excited about his task, but he wasn't the kind of man who disobeyed a monarch. The volunteer smiled and gave them both a light bow.<br/><br/>""What would you have me do now?"" Yaqob asked her, cleaning his hands on a towel.<br/><br/>""I would not presume to question my Emperor."" The old woman replied. ""But if you can prepare onions for the next soup, I would be grateful.""<br/><br/>Yaqob winced in his mind, careful to show nothing but courtesy. This was not a republic, and he did not need to worry about reelection, but working here was still a political move meant to inspire loyalty in his people and respect abroad. Crying in public, even an artificial onion cry, might be taken by the journalists as having another meaning. They were kept out of the crowd and distant enough that they could not question Yaqob, but they had cameras. An onion cry would make an inopportune photo.<br/><br/>Yaqob borrowed a combat knife from one of the guards and made a show about handling the onion, hoping it would deter any awkward media tales. He spun it in his hand like a Shakespearean actor handling a skull. When his eyes leveled with the street he saw a couple of Walinzi hurrying from a staff car to the agent with Mvulu, and he wondered what they had to say. Yaqob made the first slice into the onion slowly. It felt as if him and the onion were both virgins, and he was trying so prudently to be gentle that he was getting nothing done. On the second slice, the onion vapor started to irritate his eyes.<br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty."" he heard Mvulu's voice, and when he looked up his Captain of the Guard was standing in front of him with the Walinzi in tow. ""We need to... are you crying, your majesty?""<br/><br/>""Onions."" Yaqob wiped his eyes with his sleeve. ""What is it?""<br/><br/>""These men would like to speak to you privately."" Mvulu answered. ""We should return to the palace.""<br/><br/>""Is it the Spanish?"" Yaqob asked. Had they broke through Djibouti already? He was preparing himself for the day the enemy would continue their advance, but he had not thought it would happen so soon.<br/><br/>""No."" Mvulu answered. ""It is about your sister, the Princess Taytu.""<br/><br/>""Taytu?"" Yaqob sniffed wetly. ""Has she reported in? I want to know why it took her so long.""<br/><br/>""We should talk...""<br/><br/>Yaqob stopped. ""Is she dead?"" he said flatly, staring at the agent.<br/><br/>""No."" the agent replied. ""No, but she is not safe.""<br/><br/>""We can talk here then."" Yaqob answered. He felt worry swell in his chest again, but that was normal now. He was beginning to get acclimated to constant emergency.<br/><br/>""The Confederation of Tanganyika and Mozambique are withdrawing their support for us. Both countries have agreed to this"" one agent said.<br/><br/>""It was a bilateral move. We haven't heard and hints of dissent in either executive branch."" the other agent added. <br/><br/>""And Taytu is, in talks? Perhaps she can reverse this... situation."" Yaqob finished an onion and pushed the slices to the side. He began to dice another.<br/><br/>""Well, she has been imprisoned. Your majesty.""<br/><br/>""Imprisoned?"" he put down the knife. ""For what?"" <br/><br/>""They say they do not trust our intentions. We suspect they were unprepared for her visit and panicked."" one agent said.<br/><br/>""That suggests to us that this withdrawal from the war is unpopular there. At least in the cities."" the other added. <br/><br/>Yaqob pondered it. ""They were afraid she could overthrow their governments with a few of our agents and the help of their people. They are not threatening to execute her, are they?""<br/><br/>""No. Not at all. That would be an even stupider thing to do. Still, we need to get her out of the country before it becomes and embarrassment.""<br/><br/>Yaqob balled his fists and bit his lips. It was beyond insulting. Locking up the Foreign Affairs Advisor, his own sister? What could they be thinking? He couldn't lose his temper here, not in public with the world's media watching on. ""If we had the manpower, I would see both governments burning in a ditch somewhere between Dar es Salaam and Mombasa."" he muttered so only Mvulu and the agents could hear. ""I would force them to feed their own genitals to the hyenas. But..."" He paused for a moment, killing the rage he was building up with vengeful talk. ""Are we capable of extracting Taytu right now, agent?""<br/><br/>""We are struggling to make contact with agents in the country."" the agent said blankly. ""If it wasn't for the war, this would be easy. We have one-third of all our field agents in Spanish West Africa, and what we have close to home are occupied with preparing the country for war."" <br/><br/>""Do not do anything that will endanger her life too severely, not if you can avoid it. And for now, let us pretend we do not know they have betrayed us."" Yaqob said.<br/><br/>""Yes, that is wise."" Mvulu nodded. ""Alerting them will just embarrass them and put them on the defensive.""<br/><br/>The agent nodded. ""Yes. I will give these instructions right away, your majesty.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The Emperor spent the rest of the day meeting with his people and inspecting the capital's defenses. Anti-Aircraft batteries had been installed near most government buildings, and on the top of several hills. There were several on the side of Mount Entoto, half a mile from where Emperor Menelik's palace stood. Yaqob had insisted on that distance despite the objections of Hassan's officers. They wanted the guns nearer to the palace, where they would have a better view of the countryside. To Yaqob, it didn't seem tactically vital to have the anti-aircraft guns further down the hill. It certainly wouldn't be enough to lose them a battle. The loss of the old palace, however, would be the loss of their national heritage. It would be like using the underground churches at Lalibela as trenches. There were things too sacred to be risked by war.<br/><br/>The sun was beginning to set when Yaqob arrived at the makeshift stage constructed in front of the University of Addis Ababa. The University was hosting foreign volunteers who had came to Ethiopia to fight. Many of the students had volunteers for military service themselves, leaving empty dorms that could be converted into temporary barracks as the foreign battalions organized. The few remaining student were mostly women, or men not fit for service, though some able bodied men had got deferments due to the importance of their academic work. These students offered their services in different ways, helping to prepare the defenses of the city, working in the refugee camps, and doing what they could to entertain the foreign volunteers. Here, they were putting on a play, and they had invited the Emperor to attend the performance. It was a good opportunity for Yaqob, a chance for him to show his appreciation for the international supporters of Ethiopia, and to support the people who were working so hard to prepare the capital's defense.<br/><br/>He stood on the makeshift wooden stage and smiled at the crowd as they applauded him. Streamers in Ethiopian colors hung from the stone posts of the imposing iron-wrought fence that surrounded the campus. He saw that many of the students in the crowd were growing their hair out so that men who would have once been clean cut now wore bushy afros and unkempt beards, and women did their hair in the styles they remembered their grandmothers wearing. Traditional clothing was popular now as well, and people wore mutely colored robes that looked like togas or dresses with fine patterns decorating the fringe. He saw in the front rows evidence of the Pan-Africanist elephant badges that had become so common in the capital.<br/><br/>When the applause slowed down, Yaqob spoke into a microphone. <br/><br/>""People of Africa."" he started, ""I have not come here to speak to you about our troubles. Every one of you understand what we are facing, and you have stepped up to the challenge. I see before me the faces of an enduring Africa, a continent that will not see itself in the bonds of slavery ever again. I do not need to express how powerful your courage is, or how impregnable our continent's spirit. I do not need to express these things because the world is expressing it right now, out there beyond the borders and across the sea, where millions of people all across the world join their voices to sing praises for the mother continent! We are starting a fire here that will burn away tyranny across the globe!""<br/><br/>""And so."" he paused, waiting for the cheers and enthusiastic shouts of 'Lee-lee-lee!' to slow down. ""And so we, the grateful peoples of Africa, are here to sing praises of the men and women who come to us from across the world to fight the evils of colonial invasion. I am honored and humbled to be the first to introduce a man who has seen war in his lifetime. He is a veteran of both North American Wars. This man is Corporal Bucephelus L. Scott.""<br/><br/>There was a cheer among the crowd that sounded like a war-cry. A man came up from among the quietly gathered foreigners and approached the Emperor with what Yaqob sensed as an uncertain dignity, like a fish out of water trying to look natural on land. Corporal Scott was a tall man, not quite reaching Yaqob's lanky height but tall enough that very few Ethiopians managed to dwarf him. He was dark-skinned, a black descendant of former slaves, and the way he dressed recalled the painful memories of America's first civil war. He wore a smashed old Union uniform kepi, so old that its original blue hue was faded to black. He also wore the detached cape of an old Civil-war era great-coat, which he draped over his fatigues. He sported a wiry van-dyke beard, though he lacked the mustache to compliment it.<br/><br/>When Bucephelus Scott reached the Emperor, he fell down on one knee like a medieval squire preparing to be knighted. Yaqob had not expected that. Bowing in the Imperial presence was still common, but not in the way that this American did it. He politely tapped the Corporal on his shoulder and smiled at him beamingly as he rose. <br/><br/>""Corporal Scott."" Yaqob said, loud enough for everyone to hear. ""I am told you fought on the front line during both North American Wars.""<br/><br/>""Yes sir."" American said in broken Amharic. ""On the western front. I fought the Canadians when they invaded, sir, and I figure I am well suited for fighting invaders. When they told me Spain was invading the mother land, I thought to myself that you might make use of my abilities, Mr. Emperor."" <br/><br/>""The African people cannot thank you enough for the sacrifice you have made coming here, Corporal. The experience you bring us cannot be undervalued. That is why, with the support of my advisers, I have chosen to give you the title 'Fitawrari' and present you with command of the First International Sefari!"" there were more cheers, and more war cries. <br/><br/>The newly made Fitawrari Scott grinned as he shook the Emperor's hand. ""Thank you, sir. Thank you indeed. But, I was reading about this country when I came here."" he said smiling. ""And I read that the old Sefari's used to be named after places.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Yaqob confirmed, unsure what the American was getting at. ""That is true.""<br/><br/>""Well then sir, with your permission, I would like to call this Sefari you have been kind enough to lend me the 'Andalusia Sefari', because my boys will whip Sotelo's army quick enough that I will be setting up headquarters in Andalusia before next's years snow falls in Chicago!"" The audience renewed their battle cries with even greater fervor than before, their emotions pouring out in bloodthirsty shouts and screams. Yaqob laughed and shook the American's hand once again. ""Well of course, Fitawrari. You can call them whatever you want, just win us some battles.""<br/><br/>The media was invited to take photos near the front of the stage, drowning the momentum of the ceremony in volley after volley of flash photography. Yaqob's part in the events ended then, and he took his place in a raised private booth that had been constructed in the back. As he sat down, he saw from the corner of his eye a student leader walking up to the stage.<br/><br/>""Brothers and Sisters of Africa!"" The speaker started. To Yaqob, the speaker seemed over the top. He was chewing through his words like an overconfident new actor. ""His Imperial Majesty. I invite you all to experience a gift brought to us from across the chopping sea, in Italy where the evil influences of Spain can still be felt. From there comes the Society of the Modern Gracchi; Italian Communists who fled the oppression of the evil Batista. They lived in Greece for a time, until murderous war was brought to the crystal shores of beautiful Africa! They saw glory in our plight, and they have came to aid us in our hour of need. When I met with them last Saturday to help prepare their applications for citizenship, they told me of a play one of their own had written before he was executed by Batista's hounds. It is the story of Caesar as it has never been told before. When I first read it, I cried.""<br/><br/>Yaqob heard somebody take a seat behind him. ""Your Imperial Majesty."" he heard the familiar voice of Zerihun Biruk. He was the elderly priest who had once attended the Ark of the Covenant, before it was slated to be moved to China. Now Yaqob kept him around as a personal adviser. When Yaqob nodded at him, the priest spoke again. ""They are putting on Julius Caesar for an Emperor? That is a risky choice""<br/><br/>""It was written by a dead man."" Yaqob replied. ""I wouldn't have taken you for the sort of man who learned his European history.""<br/><br/>""A priest who doesn't know who Caesar is?"" Zerihun responded. ""Well, I have met men like that, but I know things. They don't let the least of us attend the Holy Tabot.""<br/><br/>""I am sorry that it was lost, Zerihun."" Yaqob replied. ""I know it was important.""<br/><br/>On the stage, the actors were beginning to take their places. Some were the Italian Communists, while others were Africans. They wore bed-sheet togas, but otherwise the play used very few props. <br/><br/>""I do not weep for God's tabot."" Zerihun answered. ""It will survive as long as God wills it to, and it will cease as quick as God's will changes. No, I weep for the soul of the man who shot the plane that carried it. They will open the darkest pit in hell just for him.""<br/><br/>""Good."" Yaqob said simply. ""I can't weep for the soul of a man who murdered my mother, and tried to murder my wife and child.""<br/><br/>""If you cannot weep for him."" the priest replied. ""You do not appreciate how dark his pit in hell will be.""<br/><br/>On the stage, Caesar was giving alms to the poor. It was a strange move for communists living under a dictatorship that hated them to portray a dictator as a communist. It was only when Caesar talked that Yaqob understood the writer's intent. There, in a scene that supposedly took place in Caesar's house, the dictator told Antony that ""The issue dear comrade is not in a God - helping or not - but in the ability of man."" Those words, Yaqob knew, had came from Hou. Gaius Julius Caesar was speaking with the voice of Hou Sai Tang<br/><br/>""I went to church today."" Yaqob told the priest. ""The first time I have been in one for a long time.""<br/><br/>""Have you found God?"" <br/><br/>""I have found church. That is all I can say. God... I confess, I don't understand what that means.""<br/><br/>""You do not understand what God means? It is a heavy thing to explain. I can tell you the things you expect to here from me, about love and omnipotence and the creation of the earth, but I know that you know all of that. What does God mean, though? I cannot explain it if you cannot feel it.""<br/><br/>""I don't know what I feel."" Yaqob replied. ""It never mattered before. How I grew up... it never mattered.""<br/><br/>""Your family has been detached from the church for a long time.""<br/><br/>""I think it is heritage that brought me back."" Yaqob admitted. ""I have been thinking a lot about that, about who I am.""<br/><br/>""Perhaps that is why you don't feel God."" the priest responded. ""You worry about heritage rather than your soul, you understand everything through books. You did not learn to <span class=""bb-i"">feel</span> the world until you were too old to be natural at it.""<br/><br/>Caesar was speaking to the Plebs now, who had gathered in the forum to hear him. ""Send out the Optimates and the Bourgiese"" He said. ""Make our homeland pure and revolt against their decadence. The Republican image of the nation is outdated and passed. We will someday usher in the new path. The new society.""<br/><br/>Yaqob paused and tried to remember where that particularly Hou quote was from. He could not recall, so he forgot about it and turned back to the priest. ""I used to pray, when I was a child. I had saw my mother pray to herself, and she taught me how. But it didn't work, so I stopped.""<br/><br/>""It didn't work? You did not get what you wanted?""<br/><br/>""No."" Yaqob sighed. ""It seemed pointless.""<br/><br/>""It would be, if you saw it like an order. To stop praying because you don't get what you want would be like... divorcing your wife because she does not do as you command. Things like this should mean nothing when it comes to love.""<br/><br/>""I got no answers"" Yaqob insisted. ""It isn't like communication with people. I can speak <span class=""bb-i"">with</span> my wife, but I can only speak <span class=""bb-i"">to</span> God. If I never saw, or touched, or talked to my wife, and if all I could do is send her messages of which I could never know whether or not she received, then could we be said to be married at all?""<br/><br/>""I have seen men talk to the graves of family members who were long dead. I have met women who love their unborn children with more ferocity than they have for themselves. And... I have been in a room with the Holy Tabot.""<br/><br/>""But that is different."" Yaqob grimaced. ""That is nostalgia, and... biology.""<br/><br/>The priest smiled. ""You talk in data, like a man who thinks reading is understanding.""<br/><br/>""I try to understand."" Yaqob replied. ""That is all I have ever tried to do, I think.""<br/><br/>""That is good."" the priest replied.<br/><br/>When the play reached the death scene of Caesar, night had fallen and the stage was lit by spotlights. There he stood, an Italian actor dressed in bright red robes surrounded by senators wearing black and gold. The senators were wielding knives and circling for the kill, but Caesar had his last words to say. There was no 'Et Tu', or 'Then fall, Caesar.' Instead, the actor gave a line that seemed to be the thesis of the entire play.<br/><br/>""When the freedom of the senator is built on the misfortune of the plebian, the republic deserves to crumble.""<br/><br/>Yaqob did not recognize Caesar's final phrase. It had not been a quote from Hou, or anyone else as far as he could tell. It seem that finally, at the end of the story, the playwright used his own words. </div>"
22165,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-08-26 15:53:00,gorgenmast,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Madrid, Spain</span><br/><br/>White-gray roads snaked across the dusty brown chaparral that dominated central Spain; the scraggly pradera grass had all been desiccated under the dry sun of a Spanish June. Highways that radiated out across the whole of Iberia, from Lisbon to Barcelona, from Santander to Tarifa, all began to converge in an urban nexus fast approaching on the horizon.<br/><br/>Madrid, the capital of the Second Spanish Republic, was a sprawling red city framed within a spider's web of modern thoroughfares and bypasses, the warm hue imparted by the traditional sienna roofs of the older districts of Pozuelo, San Isidro, and <span class=""bb-i"">Vieja Ciudad</span> - Old Madrid. The traditional neighborhoods surrounded a core of ultra-dense development. High rises rose upward from the fertile soil of La Zarza, Lucero, and Plaza Abdicacion. In Manzanares and the Distrito Financiero, development culminated in towers of glass and concrete that glinted in the sunlight. Occasionally, their glittering facades were cast in shadow by a creeping eclipse - great zeppelins droned high above the reach of even the tallest skyscrapers.<br/><br/>Sotelo paid no attention to any of it. He bridged his hands and tapped the tips of his fingers together, ignoring the updates from his pilot as they came ever closer to his destination. His mind was in Ethiopia, where some great calamity had surely befallen his army. Some imbecile must have destroyed his <span class=""bb-i"">dreams</span>, it wouldn't surprise him. Following an attempt on his life - a botched coup, it had turned out - Sotelo combed through the republic's military hierarchy. All those high ranking officers and generals who did not strike his Excellency as utterly loyal were quietly disposed of. Seasoned brass who had served since the days of the monarchy were replaced by a crowd of underqualified officers. There was no choice in the matter for the Prime Minister; Sotelo would always prefer an officer corps of loyal imbeciles to deceitful geniuses. Of course, all choices have their consequences; Sotelo feared that this choice had already born bitter fruit.<br/><br/>""Making the final descent, your Excellency!"" One of his pilots shouted over the roar of the propellers. ""Please buckle in!"" Sotelo threw the pilot a dismissive wave of the hand before returning to his thoughts.<br/><br/>The Prime Minister's helicopter halted high above the placid waters of the Rio Manzanares, descending gently over the Hall of the Republic. The recently-constructed center of governance for the republic was commanded by a great rotunda and collonaded annexes radiated outward from that dome-capped hub. With its dome held high by Atlean columns, its building style hearkened back to mighty Rome. And though it was officially built in homage to the Roman Republic, the Hall of the Republic had become instead a palace to Spain's Julius Caesar.<br/><br/>With a soft bump, the helicopter's wheels found purchase on a rooftop helipad, the propellers wound down with an audible whine as the engine was allowed to idle. Without so much as waiting to be addressed by the pilots, Sotelo stood up from his seat and slid back the chopper's passenger door before letting himself out into the swirling downdraft of the propellers. He <span class=""bb-i"">had</span> to know how badly his invasion had been bungled.<br/><br/>On the rooftop, a welcoming party of aides, bodyguards, and assorted lackeys had already assembled themselves at the base of the helipad waiting to attend to the prime minister's.<br/><br/>""Welcome back to Madrid, Excellency!"" One goon announced warmly, combing wind-teased hair back into place with him palm. ""I trust Gibraltar was pleasa-""<br/><br/>""Dispense with the platitudes,"" Sotelo snapped. ""Where are they?""<br/>_____________________________<br/><br/>The roar of propellers on the roof had quieted. His Excellency was in the building, and they had precious little time to prepare.<br/><br/>The highest echelon of Spain's military commanders were gathered within the <span class=""bb-i"">Cuarto de Guerra</span>, a cavernous space dominated by a long, monolithic table with seating for twenty-one; all but one seat at the fore end of the polished, black counter were occupied. The empty space on the far walls was illuminated by the beams of projectors - for the time being the projectors displayed nothing but a quivering rainbow band signifying a lack of input. Draped about the War Room's corners were four yellow-crimson banners bearing the lion coat of the Second Republic. The white lions snarled at a massive globe suspended over the central table by a steel cable. Lighting within the glass sphere illuminated the Horn of Africa with an embery red glow.<br/><br/>Beneath the Earth, the high commanders of Spain's military fretted over reams of reports, documents, photocopied dossiers translated from Amharic into Castillian with notes scribbled sloppily on the margins. High Commander Velasquez, broad-shouldered and stoic, maintained a statue-esque composure, mentally preparing himself for the abuse that he would soon be subjected to. Sergio Severino, Head of the Oficina de Inteligencia Militar, huddled with his analysts, poring over reports from field personnel in Africa.<br/><br/>Over the din of a score of military commanders preparing their briefing, there came the sharp rapping of hard soles against cold marble tile. A menetromic 'clack-clack-clack' resounded through the corridors outside, silencing everyone at once. Alfonso Sotelo had arrived.<br/><br/>Armed guards escorted his Excellency into the war room and remained at the entry after closing the door behind him. Clad in pressed tunic jackets with gold-striped slacks and epaulets, the presence of the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardia Republicana</span> served as a tangible reminder to those present that Sotelo had not yet forgotten the coup attempt of 1978. Never again would he offer his commanders a chance to destroy him. The Prime Minister occupied the vacant seat at the fore end of the table, meeting those anxious faces looking upon him.<br/><br/>""A pleasure to have you in attendance, Excellency."" High Commander Velasquez spoke on behalf of the assembled commanders.<br/><br/>""Oh, I certainly hope it to be a pleasure,"" said Sotelo with a venomous snideness. ""I was asked to leave a conference in Gibraltar 'with all deliberate haste' to be briefed on matters concerning the conflict in Ethiopia. As you might imagine, that led me to believe that something grave has transpired. How reassuring, then, that you are pleased to have me! So, by all means, share with me what I trust must be good news!""<br/><br/>Nervous eyes flitted about the War Room, nothing of import had been said and already Sotelo was angry. How would he react when he actually heard what had happened? The collective attention of the war room refocused on the far side of the room - the rainbow band projected upon the wall melted into flickering static before displaying a live telecall video feed. Standing before them on the bridge of a ship three thousand miles away was Admiral Santiago Santin. His lips moved about silently for a few moments before the audio feed could catch up.<br/><br/>//You know, Excellency,// Admiral Santin's staticky voice rasped through the War Room, //it's often said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Before these people try to explain what happened last night, let me <span class=""bb-i"">show</span> you.// One could almost hear the worried gulps of the commanders as the projector showed Santin's meaty hands grasping his telecall camera and turning it around. The projector's view of the bridge spun about, stopping at the bridge's windshield.<br/><br/>Beyond the glass and the officers and ensigns scurrying about in the foreground, the wake of Ras Hassan was projected for Sotelo and his commanders to see. Half-submerged hulks smoldered above the waterline, six of them were in view of the camera staggered about the intact vessels of the Spanish Armada. Far off in the distance, a truly massive column of black smoke billowed into the air. The mammoth plume rose far into the sky, where stratosphere winds blew it far over the coast.<br/><br/>""How did this happen?"" Sotelo asked gravely, steel gray eyes taking in every detail. ""Those ships... I was told that their navy was completely destroyed. How did this happen?""<br/><br/>//Their fleet was destroyed at the Mandeb, yes. Their <span class=""bb-i"">air forces</span>, however, are very much intact.//<br/><br/>""Air forces?"" Sotelo was dumbfounded.<br/><br/>//Those were my sentiments as well, Excellency. Our intelligence suggested that the Ethiopians had no air force to speak of. But there they were - two to three hundred fighter aircraft attacked the Armada while the landing was underway.//<br/><br/>""How did this happen?"" his Excellency repeated. No responses from the assembled commanders. He bolted upright, knocking the chair out from underneath. ""How was this allowed to happen, damn you!""<br/><br/>//I'd like to know the same thing.// Santin spun the camera back to face him. //Nearly 4,000 soldiers and 600 seamen lost their lives last night due of gross incompetence on the part of our intelligence apparatus.// Even Santin, watching from a television screen halfway across the planet, could see Sotelo trembling with fury.<br/><br/>Sergio Severino spoke up for the first time to attempt some measure of damage control. ""Certainly, this was a regrettable turn of events, howev-""<br/><br/>//Regrettable?// Santin scoffed. //I will be signing at least 608 letters of condolences to parents and wives in these coming days. These were men whose safety I was personally responsible for. You know nothing of regret, you imbecile.//<br/><br/>Sotelo's soles clacked against the floor as he paced about, his face flush with red fury. His eyes widened as he remembered a critical detail he had overlooked. ""Admiral Santin, was the <span class=""bb-i"">Cascabel</span> damaged?""<br/><br/>//No, your Excellency. She is safe. It would seem we did see some measure of good fortune. If the Africans had known to target that ship... I shudder to think of the consequences.//<br/><br/>""Once our forces had landed on the beach, they did not meet enemy infantry."" High Commander Velasquez began; if Admiral Santin was allowed to continue explaining what had transpired, there was a good chance Severino would see the gallows after this briefing. ""Upon circumnavigating the burning city, our forces were free to rally and move forward. Even now, General Ponferrada is pressing into the Afar. Contingents of armored cavalry are pursuing the retreating Ethiopian forces as we speak.""<br/><br/>//Only after their planes had been dispersed by our Fantasma... which I must add was shot down. If that brave bastard hadn't taken those planes on, I wouldn't be speaking with you today.//<br/><br/>""We lost the Fantasma?!"" His Excellency bellowed. Spain's fleet of jet fighters remained in its infancy. The one lost at the battle of Djibouti had been one of only four in the possession of the Republic's <span class=""bb-i"">fuerza aerea</span>. It would take perhaps a year to replace such a machine. ""That same one shot down the Chinese jet, did it not? How did an Ethiopian plane even get close to it?""<br/><br/>//One managed a lucky shot, to be sure.//<br/><br/>""Worry not, Excellency,"" High Commander Velasquez assured. ""Our forces remain nearly 20,000 strong. The Third Mechanized Infantry division is moving into the heart of Ethiopia as we speak. They will catch Ras Hassan's forces and destroy him. And when that happens, there will be nothing between General Ponferrada and Addis Ababa. So quickly will they besiege the capital, that the Yohannes Dynasty will be terrified into capitulation."" Sotelo drew an audible sigh, perhaps of relief.<br/><br/>""I do not believe that to be a likely scenario."" One of Severino's Ethiopia analysts spoke up, a young professional with slick, combed hair. ""We have learned in the preceding days that Emperor Yaqob Yohannes' immediate family had fled the country as the Armada entered the Red Sea. Recall the combat incident report filed by the Fuerza Aerea concerning that skirmish over the Gulf of Aden between the Fantasma and the three Chinese jet aircraft. That pilot had originally been drawn into the area to engage a cargo aircraft heading for Persian airspace. It turns out that very airplane was carrying the royal family to safety. We've wondered how the Chinese fighters were so fast to respond to the engagement, and seeing as the royal family was aboard, we have a reason.<br/><br/>""The Emperor's family is slain?"" Sotelo inquired, seemingly hopeful.<br/><br/>""No. The country has been celebrating the fact that the royal family found refuge on a desert island in the Gulf of Aden - Soqotra. They were rescued by the Chinese. The Emperor's wife and child are in the custody of the Chinese now. With his wife and heir safe, we can expect the Emperor to fight to the last.""<br/><br/>""Damnable Chinese, the continent is infested with the communists!"" Sotelo groaned.<br/><br/>""The Chinese presence in Africa is based on Pemba, Excellency; an island just to the north of Zanzibar,"" Severino corrected. ""Several years ago, Emperor Yaqob offered the communists space on the island for a military facility. We know there to be naval facilities, runways, and housing for a substantial contingent of Chinese personnel.""<br/><br/>""But there is another matter of interest in regards to the royal plane."" The Ethiopia analyst chimed in once again, holding up a photocopied sheet of Amharic characters. ""The Oficina's agents in the field have collected documents that suggest that something else was aboard that plane bound for China.""<br/><br/>""Precisely what else was on that plane?"" Sotelo demanded.<br/><br/>""That's just the thing, Excellency, it's never specified. But it is noted that this 'parcel' was not recovered by the Chinese. A sense of disappointment is communicated... a loss, perhaps.""<br/><br/>""So a box of the royal crockery was lost in the wreckage,"" Sotelo huffed. ""It is no concern of mine.""<br/><br/>""Consider the circumstances of how that plane was intercepted. The Fantasma fired upon the plane, and without warning, this state-of-the-art aircraft had it's electrical components shut off. As if God himself had flipped its switch like a lightbulb.<br/><br/>""Lightning, was is not?"" Commander Bodevín of the Spanish Air Forces added. ""On a clear day, too. I've seen my share of aircraft and I've seen some strange things happen to them. But when I heard about that... very strange, indeed.""<br/><br/>""You imply the Ethiopians were carrying some sort of weapon on board that aircraft?"" Sotelo asked, suddenly sobered. ""You know as well as I do that Africa does not have the technological capacity to realize a device with that sort of power.""<br/><br/>""Probably not,"" the analyst ceded. ""But who knows? And if that's what it was, then we need to find it before the Chinese decide to come back for it.""<br/><br/>Sotelo paced silently for a few moments, sighed, and turned his attention to the projection of Admiral Santin on the far wall. ""Admiral, dispatch whatever vessel you can most readily do without to Soqotra. If this wreckage is even remotely intact, I want it recovered.""<br/><br/>//As you wish, your Excellency. If that plane is down there, the <span class=""bb-i"">Delfín's</span> salvage divers will find it.//<br/><br/>""As for the Ethiopian air force, I will not permit another debacle of this magnitude. I want plans drawn up for an air campaign into the heart of the Pan-African Empire. Every airport, runway, hangar, and fuel depot shall be bombed into oblivion. I will not have enemy aircraft strafing my forces or harassing the supply lines. This threat will be eliminated. Am I understood?""<br/><br/>""Completely, Excellency."" Commander Bodevín acknowledged. ""However, I must advise you that even from the captured runways at Port Said, our bombers will only have access to fighter escorts throughout the north of Ethiopia.""<br/><br/>""Fair enough."" Sotelo propped his fallen chair back onto its legs and eased back into his seat at the head of the table. ""There is the matter of this Pemba Island as well. I will not accept a Chinese foothold in Africa. I want preparations made for a bombing raid against the Chinese base.""<br/><br/>""Excellency, I would advise against such a move,"" said High Commander Velasquez. ""We've came dangerously close to an outright declaration of war from the New People's China with the skirmish over the Gulf of Aden. Chairman Hou might abide a lost jet airplane, but he will not be able to ignore the destruction of an entire base. We can ill afford open war with China now, Excellency.""<br/><br/>""After this disaster at Djibouti, I admit I put little stock in your counsel, High Commander. Let the Chinese come, and we shall shock them.""<br/><br/>""Our bombers will not be able to go that far and return to Port Said in any case,"" Commander Bodevín added. ""There are simply no available runways anywhere near that area.""<br/><br/>""That is not true, Commander Bodevín."" Sotelo looked up to the colossal globe hanging above them all, and pointed up at the great island just off Africa's eastern coast.<br/><br/>""We can use Madagascar.""<br/></div>"

Ethiopian soldiers filled the plain in temporary camps, while the Islamic Afar who lived here tried to go about their lives in their small village of Holhol. The eastern horizon was blotted out by a shadowy mountain of thick black smoke, leaving behind a grey haze that filled the air with a nasty stench, like that of a burning trash heap. The village lay at the meeting place of two dry river beds which only carried water when the rains came. Across a scrubby desert were the hills that surrounded Djibouti, and it was there that the Ethiopian army made its stand. From Holhol, all that Hassan could hear were the muffled claps of artillery shells, and the occasional report of a machine gun carried by the wind.<br/><br/>""The Spanish will break through here."" an officer argued, pointing to a place on the map. ""The line has fallen back twenty miles. The enemy will try and use the main road to move their armored battalions to the front, and they will do it quick.""<br/><br/>""I agree."" another officer said. ""We need to bolster the left flank if we are going to hold them back long enough to effect a retreat.""<br/><br/>""A retreat."" Hassan spat the word. He had planned this battle knowing that he would be falling back almost as soon as it started. Still, the concept of retreat was bitter, and it made him feel almost as sour as the rubber suit did. ""We will plan this as we go. They are moving quick."" He sighed and leaned into the table. ""These Spaniards, they are like locusts. You can watch a cloud of them come at you and plan for how horrible they will be, but when they arrive you find you're still unprepared.""<br/><br/>""We must start the evacuation to Dire Dawa soon."" an officer urged. Before he was finished speaking, a commotion in the dust-filled street below drew their attention. A small crowd of villagers were shouting insults at soldiers deconstructing a train trellis. The trellis was a steel structure that crossed a dry riverbed and connected with a station just on the other side. As far as train stations went, this one was modest, but it was the only advanced job available to the locals. These people - the ink-skinned Afar of the low desert - would be forced to carve a living out of the rock now that the Ethiopians were taking away the train.<br/><br/>""Ras."" a soldier reported. ""What do we do with them?""<br/><br/>""The locals?""<br/><br/>The soldier nodded.<br/><br/>""Offer the men a chance to fight. Remind them of those shiftas who came in to conduct raids on the enemy. If they want to be men like those men are men, they should fight with us."" The whine of steel echoed through the valley like the moans of an abandoned warehouse, temporarily cloaking the distant sound of guns.<br/><br/>""What plans do we have in place for the dash back to the highlands?"" a tank officer inquired. ""I need to know, so I can prepare my boys for what's to come.""<br/><br/>Hassan felt like snapping at the man for asking probing questions, but he did not. It was not an unreasonable thing to ask, but there was a primal anger throbbing in the Ras's core. The sense of defeat, the slimy puckered feeling his gas-suit gave his skin, and the murderous temperatures of the Afar triangle were affecting his mind.<br/><br/>""I... we will."" he took a breath and composed himself. ""We will call on the air force to help. It's not my plan to hold the Danakil any longer than needed. Don't expect a drawn out fight with the Spanish armor.""<br/><br/>""It would be suicidal."" the tank officer agreed. <br/><br/>""On open ground, their contraptions would make paste of ours. We'll save our strength for the inland. There, we will have the advantage.""<br/><br/>There was more shouting now, this time coming from the Ethiopian soldiers. They were scampering from the site of the trellis; from Hassan's point of view they looked like ants fleeing from a damaged ant hill. The trellis was leaning precariously to one side now, held up by a few rusty beams. Something had went wrong.<br/><br/>""Get them out of there before they kill themselves."" Hassan said to nobody in particular, though it was not like they had needed his orders to scramble.<br/><br/>""That is good steel."" an officer said wistfully. ""It is a shame to damage it.""<br/><br/>""This entire day is enough of a mess as it is."" Hassan replied. ""I don't want to add getting defeated by a fucking bridge to my list of problems.""<br/><br/>A soldier rushed up the stairs and onto the roof as if Hassan had called him telepathically. ""Ras...""<br/><br/>""Tell them to dynamite the shit-heap if they need to, just get it out of here cleanly."" Hassan ordered. The soldier flitted back down the stairs just as quick as he had appeared.<br/><br/>""This desert is no good for us."" Hassan grumbled loudly, patting the sweat on his brow. ""It's too fucking hot.""<br/><br/>""We've struggled to keep water flowing...""<br/><br/>""I know."" Hassan snapped. He looked out to the east now, watching the mountain of smoke on the horizon. The inferno <span class=""bb-i"">he</span> had ordered. History might hate him in the future, but he felt vindicated that he had done the right thing. The thought of Spaniards struggling in the corpse-choked ashes was enough for him to be satisfied with his decision. <br/><br/>""They are in my hills. God damn them all, these are not their hills, but I cannot chase them out."" he turned around to the other men. ""If we're going to pull out of here, we'll need a counter attack.""<br/><br/>""Where..."" one officer started, but he was interrupted by a second. <br/><br/>""The left flank. Pin them to the road.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Hassan agreed. ""Exactly that! If we can stop their armor from advancing, they won't be able to push us. Not for a time, at least.""<br/><br/>""I'll assemble some divisions from the reserves."" <br/><br/>""I will take them them to the front."" Hassan stated.<br/><br/>""You...""<br/><br/>""I will.""<br/><br/>The officer nodded and left the roof.<br/><br/>Hassan looked east toward the smoke and wondered. Where exactly was the fighting now? How quick were the Spaniards moving? He couldn't tell from here, not by sight. All he saw was smoke and rock. He wanted to be on the battlefield, fighting in the same blood-soaked pits that his men were dying in. He wanted to <span class=""bb-i"">kill</span> something, and feel the satisfaction of watching it bleed.<br/><br/>""I will update air command."" the second officer excused himself. Behind him, the tank officer followed, leaving Hassan alone.<br/><br/>He watched where a makeshift field hospital had been set up. It was inside another abandoned home. People had fled Holhol along with the refugees from Djibouti, leaving many of the old stone houses derelict. Sometimes, he could hear the wounded crying above the battle sounds. They would not get much help in that hospital; they would have to wait to be sent back to Ethiopia before they could expect proper treatment. Out here, they had alcohol for killing pain and knives to do the rest. He watched a woman carrying a bucket of water from a well just out of town. She wore a floral patterned hijab over a dusty red dress. Hassan noticed how she avoided places where soldiers were lingering. When she passed the field hospital, she stared at it as if it were haunted. <br/><br/>The sudden whining hum of an speeding vehicle put everyone on edge. Hassan gripped the parapet and watched the dirt road to the south, where the sound seemed to be coming from. It seemed as if at any moment it would appear on the horizon, the echo teasing them with the impression that the vehicle was approaching perpetually from the southern road. When it did finally appear from behind a hill, Hassan's heart skipped a beat.<br/><br/>It was a Spanish armored truck, and it was throttling into camp at top speed.<br/><br/>Some soldiers fired their rifles at it in a panicked frenzy, but the enemy did not shoot back. Instead, they cried out in celebratory shouts that did not sound European. Who were these drivers? Where had they came from? He rushed downstairs and outside to meet them.<br/><br/>""They are ours."" a Palestinian guardsman said near the bottom of the step, pointing to the truck. Hassan squinted and tried to see. <br/><br/>""They are the shiftas."" the Palestinian added. It all clicked into place in Hassan's mind right then. They had went out to raid, and somehow they had stolen an armored truck. The same recognition was slowly setting in for the other Ethiopians, and their apprehension soon turned to hoots and laughter when they realized what had happened. As the truck came to a stop in the center of the village, the shiftas hopped out like giddy children who had just taken their first ride in a car.<br/><br/>Shiftas were outlaws in the official record - the vigilantes and gunslingers of rural East Africa, and the heirs of a time when village warlords ruled the highlands. They stood as monuments to a fading history of swashbuckling banditry and cattle raids, when shiftas could rise to be Emperor and the Emperor's were little more than powerful shiftas. In the modern world, they were the unofficial police of the countryside, prevailing in the rural places where Yaqob's city-based government was absent. These were rough men, with big wooly afros and wild facial hair. They wore an inconsistent mix of clothing, some with traditional robes and tunics as common as surplus military clothes. For weapons, they carried whatever they could get a hold of - rifles, shotguns, swords. Many carried the knock-off Chinese assault rifles the Ethiopian government manufactured to keep the people of Africa armed. <br/><br/>""Brothers!"" Hassan greeted the men. He shook their leader's hand and patted him on the back. ""You bring me this?""<br/><br/>The shifta looked back at his prize with glowing pride. It was decidedly Spanish - a new, sleek type of vehicle that looked almost like a small tank. Blood was smeared along the inside of the driver's side door so thick that Hassan could see gel-like clots dripping from the bottom. The shiftas were greedily pulling stolen equipment out of its seats. <br/><br/>""How did you take it?"" Hassan asked. For a moment, he forgot about his bad mood.<br/><br/>With a smile, the lead shifta tapped the side of his head as if he was pointing to his brain. ""I do not think they knew what to expect. They expected to see an army, but we came from the dust.""<br/><br/>""Where did you take it?"" <br/><br/>""Loyada.""<br/><br/>Hassan's eyes went wide for a moment, like those of a lion watching his pride-mates make a kill. ""Loyada is on the coast. You brought this from that far away?""<br/><br/>""We did not take the roads. We drove in the riverbeds, and on the old paths where the ferengi don't go. It is true, we were shot at, but that is what happens in war. But come."" the shifta smiled wider now. ""We have another gift for the Ras.""<br/><br/>They led him around back, to where another shifta held tightly to the handle of a closed rear door. ""There was a slaughter in Loyada, did you know? The ferengi murdered everyone in that town, even the old ladies in their sick beds. And the children. They murdered everyone."" the tone of the conversation grew somber then. Nearby, an Ethiopian soldier spat. ""So we did not have mercy. No, there was no mercy for the ferengi who did that thing.""<br/><br/>The lead shifta waved his hand and, with a sudden jerk, his cohort opened the back of the truck. A man poured out onto the ground. He was white - a Spanish soldier. He was not conscious, and with his deathly pallor and shrunken appearance, Hassan thought he was dead at first. It was the layer of sweat dripping from his skin that indicated he was alive.<br/><br/>The shiftas had tied a rope around his torso, and they dragged him along the ground like a log as both soldiers and shiftas spat on him. His face was battered and bruised so badly that it looked like a rotten pomegranate, and his breathing seemed labored and broken. His clothing was disheveled and torn, and his pants were caked in blood. The blood on his pants, and on his bare stomach, told Hassan everything that the shiftas failed to say themselves. They had captured this man and beat him. <br/><br/>And then they had emasculated him.<br/><br/>In the old world of tribal warfare, castration made sense. It had been a way for warring tribes to cause lasting damage to each other. It meant that an enemy warrior couldn't have children, and when so many wars were little more than village versus village, every warrior was important. There was a symbolry to it as well. It meant that, when you defeated a man, you could deprive him of his manhood entirely, showing your own dominance. It was said that many Italian prisoners has been castrated at Adwa, though nobody had eve proven that claim, and Hassan had once heard Emperor Yohannes claim that Menelik 'Asked his soldiers to give him the men, not their testicles'. <br/><br/>The Ras knew he was dealing with something precarious here. The man - this Spaniard - was already defeated, so Hassan did not see any point in abusing him now. There was something to say about scaring the Spaniards with this sort of treatment, making them fear for their genitals any time they were sent on patrol, but there was another detail that Hassan understood. In bombing Djibouti, he had enacted an old custom. When the innocent died on a battlefield, it was considered a tragedy, but an understandable one. But mutilation of prisoners... that was something that foreigners did not approve of. It was true, he had used mutilation as a weapon in the past. He had ordered the arms of children chopped off in order to dissolve the rebellion of the Rouge General, but that had been different. That had been a civil war, but this conflict was larger. In this war, the opinions of foreign powers mattered. Hassan knew he needed to quash this quietly. <br/><br/>""This is revenge, brothers!"" the Shifta leader shouted, kicking the Spaniard in the side. Aside from the force of the kick, he did not move. He was dying, and Hassan knew it. He leaned to one of his Palestinians and whispered.<br/><br/>""When this is over with, take this man out to the desert and give him mercy. Burn his body and bury it afterwards.""<br/><br/>The Palestinian nodded and Hassan eased up. <br/><br/>""You have won a great victory!"" Hassan proclaimed to the shiftas, ""But tell me, where is the fighting?""<br/><br/>""The ferengi push along the south-east road, and along the west road."" the shifta leader explain. ""Your men still hold the south road very near to the city. I think they are trying to trap you.""<br/><br/>""I agree."" Hassan said. ""Are your men tired, or do they want to help me fight this war?""<br/><br/>""We are not done for today.""<br/><br/>Hassan nodded. ""I am going to the front myself to reinforce the north. I would like you and this armored car to join me.""<br/><br/>""We will follow.""<br/><br/>Hassan turned to another one of his Palestinians and barked an order that everyone around him could hear. ""Get me a sniper team. I'm going to go kill some ferengi!""<br/><br/>The air filled with war-cries as Hassan climbed into the passenger's seat of the armored truck. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""My girl is not a tall girl."" the Afar tribesman sung. Two of them, young men from Holhol, had taken up Hassan's offer and joined the fight. ""My girl is not a short girl. ""My girl is perfect, my girl is medium.""<br/><br/>They sang these lines from time to time, intermixed with other old caravan songs. They sat in the back of the armored truck, invited by Hassan to ride along with them as a reward for their bravery. Some of the shiftas, including their leader, rode inside the truck as well, while their comrades clung to its roof. These two groups - the shiftas of Ethiopia and the Afar goatherds - did not look the same. Where the shiftas wore dusty tunics and robes, the Afar wore sarongs and waistcoats. The shiftas had unkempt bushy hair and beards, but the Afar wore no facial hair, and used butter to tightly curl the hair on their heads in a way that made them look like Ancient Egyptians. <br/><br/>Hassan watched through the shrunken window of the armored truck and inspected the surrounding land for signs of battle. Here, closer to the front line, the haze was thicker. They were get closer to the wreckage of Djibouti, who's black-smoke cloud filled the sky with a grey smog. He could see the sun moving into the western sky. It was a pale circle, so weak that he could stare into it without any discomfort. There was something other-wordly about this landscape, and the sight of the military caravan following Hassan to reinforce the front line. They looked like the last survivors of an apocalyptic war.<br/><br/>The hillscape surrounding Djibouti was as series of webbing bluffs, most crowned with sandstone caps. Flat-topped acacia trees grew interspersed in parched wadi's and thin valleys. It was a difficult land, where the only places to hide were behind rocks or in the shadows of cliff faces. This did not mean the Ethiopians lacked any advantage at all. Most roads here were goat paths, save for the one paved highway that meandered west from Djibouti into the Danakil desert. This was also one of the hottest places in the world, and the further you went from the sea the hotter it got. Temperatures in Djibouti hovered around 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer - which would be considered a cool day in the Danakil, where temperatures typically reached 120.<br/><br/>The evidence of battle slowly appeared as they drove along. They saw where a stray Spanish rocket had overshot its target and struck the ground near an Acacia tree, impaling a camel with a splinter of wood. The beast lay dying, simmering in its own blood. Soldiers were appearing on the roadside more frequently now. After they passed an Ethiopian encampment in the flats, groups of soldiers became a common sight. They were leaving the front bloodied, or approaching it with the distant stare of battle-hardened men already in their eyes. There were more rocket craters now - blackened patches of land where the foliage still burned. One they passed had a smear of blood covering the rocks around it, as if the force of the impact had completely obliterated an unlucky man.<br/> <br/>The road was approaching a bend now, where it entered a narrow pass between the hills. That is where they were confronted by an Ethiopian soldier standing and waving his rifle in their path and holding his palm out to stop them. The Palestinian driver stopped the vehicle and climbed out of the car. Hassan followed. As he opened the door, the echo of distant rifle reports washed over him all at once.<br/><br/>""What is up here, soldier?"" <br/><br/>""Ras."" he said surprised, bending his arm in an informal salute. ""I did not know you were coming.""<br/><br/>""I wanted to get some fighting in before you men finish this thing."" Hassan replied. ""But tell me, what is up there?""<br/><br/>The soldier pointed to a thin plume of grey smoke climbing from the mountain. ""That is a Spanish tank that is burning. One of our mortars got it, and now it is blocking the road.""<br/><br/>""How far?""<br/><br/>""About a mile. The enemy is trying to clear the hills all around here so they can get through.""<br/><br/>""How far have they pushed into the hills?"" <br/><br/>""Not far."" the soldier tapped the butt of his rifle against the ground. ""We fell back after the rockets came, but we have learned how to hide from them. They only come from one direction, and there are many rocks to hide behind here.""<br/><br/>Hassan was satisfied with this information. They climbed back into the truck and heading up a ravine. <br/><br/>The armored truck had not been made for driving off-road like this, but the Palestinian managed to pilot it up a cracked stream-bed. They were seeing corpses now, all Ethiopians with their bodies twisted in uncomfortable ways. Some had been stripped of their equipment, ammo, and boots, leaving them in their bare uniforms. He could see the wisps of new smoke coming from the top of a nearby hill. Those were Ethiopian mortars, he knew. They were firing on the distant road where the Spaniards were trying to push forward.<br/><br/>When they reached the point where the truck no longer could move, they climbed out and walked the rest of the way. Another soldier met them and agreed to lead them to the front line. The reserve unit arrived behind them in off-road troop trucks, where they unloaded and were shown where to go by the officers on the ground. That left Hassan with his Palestinians, the sniper team, the shiftas, and the two Afar tribesmen.<br/><br/>There was several steep climbs and treacherous descents across rocky terrain before they reached the true front line. It was not an obvious thing - only a handful of men hiding behind rocks and in shallow foxholes dug in the difficult soil, surrounded by the bloodied figures of the wounded and the dead. They were exchanging fire with a Spanish platoon in the valley below. Even though the Ethiopians had the advantage in terrain, the Spanish had better supplies, and the Ethiopians were running low on ammunition.<br/><br/>""Ras."" the Ethiopian battalion leader greeted with a cackling smile. Hassan found cover behind a thick slab of granite. ""It is good to see you up here with us.""<br/><br/>""I was bored back there."" Hassan replied. ""This is too ripe of a fight to miss.""<br/><br/>""We have them pinned."" the battalion leader peaked around a corner long enough to aim before taking a shot. ""But not for long. I have been told there will be another rocket strike in an hour. When that happens, we will have to stop shooting and they will move up the valley.""<br/><br/>""Allahu ackbar!"" the Afar were shouting now, firing in the direction of the enemy. When they stood up to shoot, the gile knifes hanging from their belts slapped them in the hip. A gile knife is a twenty inch blade that is curved at the end. They are all purpose, designed with slaughtering goats in mind, but it said that they also use them to emasculate enemies. Hassan's mind drifted back to the dying Spaniard back in Holhol. Had that inspired them to fight? It was a morbid thought.<br/><br/>Hassan looked back at the shiftas and gave them a nod. Their leader understood, and led his men away. ""We will have to put pressure on them then."" Hassan said.<br/><br/>The sniper team was in position now; two men, one a spotter and the other a sniper. They were slow in finding targets. The Spaniards had been at this for long enough to know where to hide.<br/><br/>""Look there."" Hassan pointed to the side of a nearby hill. It was difficult to see if you did not know what you were looking for. Movement. The shiftas covered themselves in dust so that their clothes blended in with the shade of brown that surrounded them. They moved like wild dogs - men peeling away from the main group as they looked for decent hiding places to shoot from. The end result would be such a varied number of angles that the enemy would struggle to find a place to hide.<br/><br/>The tension was thick now. It would take only one Spaniard to notice the approaching shiftas and their game would be up. There would be casualties that Hassan couldn't pull out of the valley. How would the Spanish treat prisoners when they discovered them to be insurgents rather than enemy soldiers?<br/><br/>There was a whistle, and then a pop, followed by a yelp. One of the Afar had been struck by a bullet, and he was holding his belly and screaming like a man being murdered. His friend was trying to comfort him until he could be carried away, but he did not stop screaming. That only made the tension thicker. The sniper took a shot, but Hassan did not see where it hit. ""Miss"" the spotter announced.<br/><br/>The echo of the sniper shot had not yet faded when the valley below erupted in a storm of rifle fire. Hassan did not know who pounced first; the shiftas, or the Spaniards. Whoever had started it, the fight was now on. The Africans were firing at the flank of the hiding Spanish, who were being forced to find new dens. In the chaos, some of them were left exposed to fire from the hill. The Ethiopians fired as quick as they could aim, except for the sniper. To Hassan, it seemed as if the sniper was making all of the kills.<br/><br/>""Sniper!"" Hassan called. ""Let me have a go!"" Both men, the sniper and his spotter, stared at Hassan with surprise.<br/><br/>""The enemy is very close. This is an easy shot to make."" the sniper replied. He offered Hassan his spot. ""Here, try it then.""<br/><br/>Hassan slid into place, the rubber undersuit squeaking as wrinkled and rubbed against itself. When Hassan put his eye to the scope, the whole world seemed to be a blur. He brought the ground into focus until he could see the Spanish soldiers hiding in the rocks below.<br/><br/>He realized this was his first true view of the enemy. There they were, in crisp khaki battle dress with combat helmets strapped to their heads in nervous haste. Hassan could even see the yellow and red patches on their sleeves. Before he could take a shot, they moved, and he swung wildly to compensate.<br/><br/>""Nudge to the left."" the spotter said, simplifying his language. Hassan was fine with that. He followed suit. There was a body in his sights now, and he pulled the trigger.<br/><br/>""Miss.""<br/><br/>As Hassan reloaded, he looked to see where the shiftas were. The battle had settled now. From here, he could not see if there were any African casualties. He steadied himself, aimed, and sought another target. This time, he saw the top of a man's head bob above a rock. He took a shot. The recoil spat dust in his eye.<br/><br/>""Miss.""<br/><br/>He reloaded and took another shot. This time he held his breath when he found a target. He pulled the trigger.<br/><br/>""Miss.""<br/><br/>""Captain."" As he reloaded, Hassan shouted to the officer who had been in charge before he arrived. ""You said the rockets are support to be here soon?""<br/><br/>""It will be about forty minutes now."" the officer shouted.<br/><br/>""I'll get your men off this rock before then. We're replacing units here with fresh troops. How would you like to rest in Dire Dawa?""<br/><br/>""I would like that."" the officer grinned. ""Are we retreating?""<br/><br/>That word. Hassan tensed at the sound of it. ""We have done all we need to do here. Our advantages are wearing out, now we're just guarding a damnable desert.""<br/><br/>""I will follow you."" the officer replied.<br/><br/>Hassan leveled for another shot. He slowed his breath and waited. Another opportunity presented itself.<br/><br/>""Miss.""<br/><br/>Hassan realized he wasn't much of a sniper, but he was determined to get a kill. He wondered if the true sniper was irritated with him. It did not matter. Hassan was in command. He reloaded, aimed, and waited again. And when an opportunity presented itself...<br/><br/>...the man was aiming at disappeared behind a rock, but another shifted behind him as sudden as Hassan pulled the trigger. Hassan saw a spray of red, and then nothing.<br/><br/>""Hit!"" the spotter said. ""That was a hit!""<br/><br/></div>"
22168,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-08-31 22:33:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">House of Representatives <br/>United States Capitol<br/>Washington DC</span><br/><br/>""The gentleman from California is recognized.""<br/><br/>Congressman Harlan Lewis gripped the small lectern set up in the House chamber. The chamber was a ghost town at a quarter past one in the afternoon, everyone except the non-partisan clerical employees were still taking their usual long lunches. The laxness around both the House and Senate was typical in the height of summer when there were no big bills looming. After pushing for the nationalization of NEWI, the White House was mum on the rest of its legislative agenda. Congress knew a fight was coming, but they expected it from the Democratic president. Nobody had any idea that Republican Harlan Lewis would be the one to ignite it.<br/><br/>The recent election marked Lewis' third successful reelection campaign. California's 9th District was an easy win for any Republican candidate. It was mostly white and mostly middle class. Even the big Hispanic population in the district had comfortable incomes and conservative ideals. Even during the Socialist years they sent Republicans to Congress. The voters in his district didn't care about pork barrel or appropriations, they just wanted someone with an R next to their name on the ballot, someone to keep their taxes down. The most remarkable thing about Lewis' six years in Congress so far had been sponsoring a resolution naming a bridge in his state after early California Senator John C. Fremont.<br/><br/>""Mr. Speaker,"" Lewis said to the junior congressman who acted as speaker pro tem when Clay Foulke wasn't on the floor.  <br/><br/>""Ladies and gentlemen of the House I'd like to introduce an appropriations bill for consideration. This bill will authorize the United States government to provide foreign aid to the people and citizens of Ethiopia. The purpose of this bill is not to assist the government and military engaged in war with the Spanish Republic, but the families who are being forced to flee their homes under threat of loss of life and property.""<br/><br/>The half-dozen clerks sitting at the triple dais stirred at Lewis' announcement. The speaker pro tem raised an eyebrow at the congressman before whispering to a clerk beside him. The clerk scuttled off in a hurry while the speaker nodded. <br/><br/>""Bill will be formally introduced as House Resolution 2601 and will be referred to the House Appropriations Committee.""<br/><br/>The clerk banged the gavel and Lewis walked from the lectern with shaky legs.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">*****</div><br/><br/>""Who the fuck is Harlan Lewis?"" Clay Foulke snarled as he stalked out of his office and down a capitol corridor.<br/><br/>Dwight Hayes, the Democratic Majority Leader, ran after Clay in a desperate rush and called after him. Clay couldn't hear Hayes' voice over the sound of his own pulse. They had been in Clay's office just moments earlier, having a post-lunch confab with the democratic leadership and a few heads of the various democratic caucuses that made up the House Democrats. They were in the middle of their bull session when a secretary came in with a scrap of paper that had the news scribbled on it.<br/><br/>The Republicans. The fucking Republicans.<br/><br/>As Speaker, Clay could control his own party through clout with the Appropriations Committee and congressional committee assignments. A lot of what made him keep the Democrats in line didn't work with the Republicans. They were the minority party. They couldn't be bought with promises of plumb assignments since they wouldn't have a chance to really influence committee decisions. Earmarking money for their home district didn't work either, since they could make political hay out of fighting the big bad Democrats who were neglecting their constituents in a shoddy showing of partisan politics.<br/><br/>""Clay!"" Hayes called out as he ran as fast as his chubby body could carry him.<br/><br/>He caught up and placed a beefy hand on Clay's neck, guiding him gently down the corridor and into a nook off to the side of the hallway. Clay continued to fume while Hayes looked around to make sure nobody was in earshot before speaking.<br/><br/>""This is what we wanted,"" he said softly. ""This is what the White House wants, right?""<br/><br/>""Not like this,"" Clay hissed. ""The president was going to ask Congress to allocate funds first. This guy, this Lewis guy, he threw a monkey wrench into the whole goddamn thing. The Republicans have the initiative now, they're--""<br/><br/>""In the minority,"" Hayes said with a slight grin. ""They could introduce a House bill calling for the US to be reabsorbed the UK and it won't make a bit of goddamn difference without the votes. It's their bill, but it's <span class=""bb-i"">our</span> Congress, Mr. Speaker. The Senate is another ballgame, but we can get that bill through committee without breaking a sweat and with a Republican author it'll be a landslide vote on the House floor.""<br/><br/>Clay crossed his arms and leaned against the wall of the nook where they were sequestered and sigh.<br/><br/>""You're right. I still don't like it, but you're right. The White House won't like it, though.""<br/><br/>""Who cares? The president needs to learn that we pass legislation, not him.""<br/><br/>Clay shrugged Hayes off and started back down the hallway, this time slower and a lot less furious.<br/><br/>""Where you going?"" Hayes called after Clay.<br/><br/>""To find Harlan Lewis and scare the shit out of him,"" Clay said with a wry smile.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">*****</div><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Nashville, Tennessee</span><br/><br/>""It's been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come.""<br/><br/>The crowd chanted and sang their song as they marched towards the Tennessee state capitol. Unlike the march in Jackson months ago, this march was calm and orderly. The police presence was large but passive, staying on the sidewalks and protecting the black protesters against white counter-protestors. On the state capitol's fifth floor, Vice President Russell Reed watched the protest from the large window in the governor's office.<br/><br/>""Agitation is what it is!""<br/><br/>Russell turned to face Tennessee governor Jimmy Fogle. Fogle was tall, lean, and bald with a prominent hook nose. He had at least four inches on Russell and loved to get in close to anybody he wanted to intimidate or cajole. <br/><br/>""They just want to start trouble,"" Fogle said with a finger pointed towards the oncoming protestors. ""They want the police to beat their asses and make us look like a bunch of mindless thugs. They're all communist, Russ. We give into the blacks, won't be long before we're giving in to Beijing.""<br/><br/>Russell turned back to the window. He saw the black man with glasses at the front of the group. The FCB and a host of other law agencies briefed Russell on the man known as the Ethiopian. Despite all the information, this was the first time Russell laid eyes on the man. he was surprised at his age. He was young, not much older than Russell's own sons. The stories being told about this young man made it seem he was hardened anarchist. Russell saw the fire and the passion, but he saw that in all the those marching towards the capital.<br/><br/>""You don't think it's time?""<br/><br/>""Time for what?"" Fogle asked. <br/><br/>""For them to have what they were promised so long ago.""<br/><br/>""They got it,"" Fogle spat. ""They just don't know how to use it. They wanna whine about segregation and Jim Crow when they've never had it better before!""<br/><br/>Russell's mind went back in time. He focused on a middle aged man in the crowd. He had bruises and cuts on his face. Battlescars. The man marched beside a young woman who had to be his daughter. They held hands and the man sung the protest song through a wired shut mouth.<br/><br/>""I'm from Georgia,"" he said softly. ""Lavonia. That's my hometown in Georgia. I always remember he dilapidated outhouses they labelled ""COLOREDS ONLY"" while the ""WHITES ONLY"" outhouses were kept spotless. I was just ten years old when the town organized a lynch mob to go after a black man in nearby Danielsville. He had the audacity to steal a chicken from a white farm. This was during the height of the Depression and he stole the chicken to feed his six children. They tied him to the bumper of a car and drug him through town slowly, screaming his head off while white men, women, and children threw rocks at him. They stoned him to death for doing something a white man would have been simply fined for.""<br/><br/>Russell turned his gaze from the window and looked up at Fogle, narrowing his eyes.<br/><br/>""Oh, yeah. They've never had it better.""<br/><br/>""Russ--""<br/><br/>""When you address me, you address my title. Vice President of the United States. I think we're done here.""<br/><br/>Russell headed out of the governor's office before Fogle could muster a response.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">*****</div><br/><br/>""It's been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come,"" James Calhoun said through clamped shut teeth.<br/><br/>His broken jaw was getting better, but he still needed the wire and the mesh to keep it in place as it finished healing. His daughter Sarah made up for his handicap by singing twice as loud as they marched. They were just a few people back from Isiah Wolde himself, holding hands and staying together in the jostling crowd that marched towards the state house. The crowd was still mostly black, but plenty of white people were starting to join the crowd. Most of them were impassioned northerners, a few were from the south but they were few and far between. Along with their usual signs promoting equal rights for blacks, there was plenty of Ethiopian imagery. Sarah and Wolde were among the countless who wore Ethiopian flag pins. A few people in the crowd waved Ethiopian flags and held up anti-Spanish signs.<br/><br/>James felt a surge of pride at the rally. They were finally making a stand on something and being allowed to protest. Along with showing the world they would stand and be counted, they also showed that they stood with their brothers and sisters in Africa. Their problems were vastly different, but at the heart of it they were both fighting a struggle for freedom and self-determination.<br/><br/>The doors to the state house opened as the crowd approached. A line of state troopers with riot shields were already there waiting for them to cross some imaginary line. While James was nervous of a repeat of Jackson, news people gathered on the sidewalk made the possibility a dim one. Tennessee didn't want to become the new Mississippi. From the open doors, a half dozen men in black suits marched out followed by someone James didn't recognize. He was a white man with dark hair and a navy colored suit. He waved at the crowd, the men in suits followed him and formed a protective barrier past the state troopers. The guards helped the man navigate the crowd until he was face to face with Wolde himself. James was jostled back by security, but still close enough to overhear the conversation.<br/><br/>""Isiah Wolde,"" he asked with a thick southern accent. He held his hand out for Wolde. ""I'm Vice President Russell Reed. President Norman sent me here to speak to you.""<br/><br/>Wolde nodded and shook Reed's hand. <br/><br/>""About time you showed up, Mr. Vice President.""</div>"

The headwaiter brought him in through the back. Elliot walked through the kitchen in the waiter's wake. Italians chattered in their native tongue while music blasted out a radio above the stove. A steak sizzled in a pan of oil. Fire flared by Elliot's shoulder. He flinched while the Italians laughed and said something to him he couldn't understand. The waiter shot them a look and reeled off a stream of words in Italian. He apologized to Elliot and pushed through the kitchen door into the rear dining area.<br/><br/>The restaurant was made up to look like the old dining cars trains had. Big booths, small tables, cheap steak and watered down hooch all for the low low price of twenty bucks a plate. Liam Kane sat in a booth in the rear, his head down and in his plate. The waiter led Elliot to the booth. Kane looked up at him and gnoshed a rare porterhouse with a baked potato and asparagus. A buck fifty soaking wet and he could put away amounts of food that would make a fat man blush. Off to the side of the plate sat a tumbler of scotch. Food crumbs flaked his expensive suit. The white shirt collar stained with steak sauce. Elliot did the math. It would take him at least four well paying jobs to buy a suit like that. His own outfit, a checkered sports jacket and white shirt with a blue tie and matching pants, had been glommed from a department store.<br/><br/>This year marked Elliot Shaw's sixth as a private investigator. He worked for members of the Commonwealth's elite through their high-priced lawyers. He was used to sites like the one in front of him, a man gorging himself on a steak that very few could afford. While the rich and powerful made their messes, guys like Elliot Shaw were the ones that they always called when they needed them cleaned up. The corridors of power were filled with men like him, men who stood just off to the side with supressor fitted pistols.<br/><br/>""Mr. Shaw,"" Kane said with a mouth full of food.<br/><br/>""Councilman Kane.""<br/><br/>The waiter left quickly. Elliot sat and watched Kane continue eating. His eyes darted towards the scotch. The sight made his mouth water. Two years since his last drink and the shit still smelled like heaven. Kane wiped his mouth and finally took a break from the food.<br/><br/>""Thank you for meeting me here today. Do you want something to eat? Something to drink?""<br/><br/>""I'll pass.""<br/><br/>Kane nodded and dug into his baked potato. <br/><br/>""Morty Hartman at Hartman-Leverett turned me on to you. He said you've done good work for the Kennedy family in the past. You made your bones as a detective, yes?"" Kane asked between bites. ""A BPD sergeant before you became a gumshoe. Can you tell me why I wanted to meet you here today?""<br/><br/>Elliot sat up and adjusted his tie. He focused on the slop on Kane's plate while he spoke. Elliott didn't want to meet his gaze, he was afraid of what he might say or do at the sight of the man's smug little face.<br/><br/>""You need something done quietly. If you're reaching out to me then you know my reputation. I get things done with no muss and no fuss. I know enough about you to know that you're upwardly mobile, councilman. I'd say you're eying a new job down the line, either mayor of Boston or something in the state legislature. Whatever it is that's plaguing you, it's enough of a problem to where you have to call in outside help and not get some BPD goons to help you with it. You want whatever it is handled fast and with as little noise as possible.""<br/><br/>Kane nodded slowly, biting a piece of steak and slowly savoring its taste. When he was done, the man wiped blood from his lips with a cloth napkin.<br/><br/>""Right on all accounts. '82 will be an election year and I plan to run for the state Senate. From there who knows where I land up? There are a lot of people out there interested in getting in the Liam Kane business, Mr. Shaw, and me owing you is something I'm sure you'll appreciate.""<br/><br/>""Where do I come in?"" Elliot asked. ""Want me to be your running mate? I imagine a Kane/Shaw ticket in '84 could at least win Massachusetts.""<br/><br/>""Funny,"" said Kane. ""Morty said you were funny. No, I need you to find someone for me?""<br/><br/>Elliot raised an eyebrow. ""Who? Your father? Long lost cousin? An illegitimate son you put up for adoption?""<br/><br/>""Nothing that sexy. It's actually an employee of mine. Jane Wilson is part of my office's secretarial staff. She's been missing for two days now.""<br/><br/>""And this doesn't go to the BPD why?""<br/><br/>Kane flashed a tight smile. ""She went missing shortly after some very sensitive documents missing from my office. I have good reason to believe Miss Wilson took them. If those documents fall into the wrong hands..""<br/><br/>""Then the Liam Kane business will be a short lived endeavor. It's not about finding your secretary, right? To hell with her as long as I get those documents back.""<br/><br/>""You got it.""<br/><br/>Elliot started to open his mouth before Kane silenced him by pulling out a wad of bills. He peeled off two one hundred dollar bills before peeling off a third.<br/><br/>""Tell me when, Mr. Shaw.""<br/><br/>Elliot said when after Kane got to the ninth bill. The city councilman calmly put his wad of bills up and slid the nine hundred dollars across the table to him. He tucked the money into his jacket pocket.<br/><br/>""Mr. Kane, you have got yourself a PI.""<br/><br/>""That's for the first week. More forthcoming upon your successful return of those files.""<br/><br/>Kane winked.<br/><br/>""By any means necessary, Mr. Shaw.""<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">*****</div><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Detroit</span><br/><br/>Billy Carter stepped into the batter's box and choked up on his bat. Eight teenage black boys covered the baseball diamond at all the positions. Clark Johnson stood on the mound, his lanky arms down by his side and the worn old cowhide ball in his left hand. Petey Harris squatted behind Billy and slapped a chubby fist into the catcher's mitt.<br/><br/>Every evening about twenty of them gathered to play ball, enough for two teams of nine and a few bench players. They all knew each other from around the neighborhood, all of them were between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Joe Leroy out in centerfield was about to turn nineteen and was the oldest by at least six months. Most of them worked jobs, having dropped out of the local high schools from lack of interest or the need to work and help support their families. Billy was part of the latter. He'd turn seventeen back in May and was already an old hand down at the machine shop where he ran a lathe. He made shit pay and worked from six to six, but he was the oldest of five brothers and sisters and was expected to help his mother and father. <br/><br/>""C'mon, Clark,"" Petey said with a heehawing laugh. ""Burn his ass up.""<br/><br/>""The only thing about to burn is the soles of my shoes,"" said Billy. ""You sumbitches ain't ever seen a man run like me.""<br/><br/>Clark went into his windup. Billy felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up as Clark's long left arm snapped forward like a rubber band. The old leather ball was hurling towards Petey's mitt so fast the stitches were a blur of color. <br/><br/>The next thing Billy felt was the delicious tingle that ran from his hands and up his arms. The vibration from the bat making solid contact with the ball. He saw the thing hurtling towards the outfield in a low line drive before he turned towards first and took off. Billy was shorter than average, which was why his speed surprised so many people. The secret was that he had a short torso, but long and spindly legs that chewed up baselines like a fat man chewed up bacon. <br/><br/>The ball landed in the outfield as Billy was rounding first. Joe Leroy was upon it like lightning. He took his momentum from running up on it and put it in his throw to second. Billy was halfway to second when Joe let the ball fly. Mike Maxwell was already on second, watching the ball rocket towards his glove while keeping track of Billy out the corner of his eye. Billy knew it was going to be close. He went into second diving head first. Dirt filled his eyes as he slid towards the bag. The snap of the glove followed the feel of his chest hitting the bag, followed a micro second later by Mike's tag on his bag. Too late.<br/><br/>""What'd I say,"" Billy shouted as he stood up and brushed the dirt from his chest. ""The boy is just too damn fast for his good.""<br/><br/>""And his mouth is too damn loud for his own good,"" Devo Baker said from third base. <br/><br/>""Keep talking, Devo,"" Billy said with a wide grin. ""I'm coming for yo ass next. I'm about to show you up like I showed Mike up.""<br/><br/>""Try it, Negro,"" Devo snapped back. ""And suffer the motherfucking consequences.""<br/><br/>Dougie Turman came up to bat now. Dougie worked at a stockyard near the outskirts of town, shoveling cow shit and throwing huge bales of hay for ten hours a day. The work made Dougie's muscles ripped. Of all the kids playing, Dougie was the biggest home run threat among them.<br/><br/>Billy took a wide lead as Clark got set. A quick snap of Clark's head back to second sent Billy sliding back into to the base to avoid a quick tag from Mike. Clark went back to face the batter's box and Billy took another long lead. Clark, trying to throw fast but not trying to throw something Dougie could hit, tossed a ball into the dirt at Petey's feet. Billy was headed to third halfway through Clark's throwing motion. Petey bobbled the ball and Billy went into third standing upright. <br/><br/>""Sorry, Devo,"" Billy said with a wink. ""Didn't get a chance to show you up. Petey saw to that.""<br/><br/>Devo rolled his eyes and went back to covering third.<br/><br/>""Coming for you, Petey,"" Billy called out from third. ""You bobble that damn ball again, and I'll be able to take my time stealing home.""<br/><br/>""Fuck you, Billy,"" Petey barked. ""Always gotta take this shit too seriously.""<br/><br/>Billy smiled and started to take his lead. It was true what Petey said and he realized it. Most of them were just looking to have fun and bullshit in the few hours of daylight they had left when they got done with work. Billy always had fun, but it was always more fun when he won. He needed to be the best. He worked for twelve hours a day in a shop where he was the only black man, making half pay for doing the same job the other white men at the shop did. <br/><br/>Detroit wasn't Mississippi, but it wasn't much better. About two miles away from their sandlot was a wall the decent white people of Detroit erected to keep the black people from spreading into their neighborhoods. They weren't as outward with their hate like the people in the south, but they hated just as much. They couched their hate in economics and used words like 'self-improvement' and 'earn their share.' For guys like Billy, they had to work twice as hard to earn half as much as white people. That was why he played so fiercely. Out here on the diamond, a strike was a strike and a steal was a steal. He could out hit, out run, and out throw any white man this side of the Tigers and he knew it. He needed to make sure everyone else knew as well.<br/><br/>Clark tossed Dougie a fastball high and tight. Billy was halfway down the baseline and headed towards home when Dougie made solid contact. What looked like a home run ball sailed to the right at the last minute and went foul. The game took a five-minute break while the boy in right field dug through the field beside the sandlot to find the ball. When they came back, the count was 1-1 and Clark prepared to wind up. Billy knew the heat was coming, so that's why was already running.<br/><br/>Another fastball scorched towards Petey's mitt. It was low and bounced off the plate and Petey awkwardly tried to grab at the ball. Dougie jumped out of the way when he saw Billy thundering down the baseline. He was almost to home plate when Petey got a firm handle on the ball and tried to block the plate with his chunky body. Billy kept going and prepared his body for the collision that was about to happen.<br/><br/>Petey flew back from the force of Billy's body slamming into his. Billy bounced away and went sideways, falling into the dirt beside home plate. He reached out and slapped a dirty hand on the plate as Petey smacked into the ground and cried out in pain. Billy saw the baseball rolling past him and coming to rest in the dirt. He'd knocked the ball loose from Petey's mitt. He was safe.<br/><br/>""Goddamn,"" Petey said between sobs. ""I fucked my shoulder up.""<br/><br/>Billy stood and brushed himself off, looking down at Petey as he held his arm and began to cry.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Billy sat in the grass beside the sandlot by himself. He was alone. Everyone else rushed off to take Petey to the doctor. He thought about going but thought better of it at the last minute. Crickets chirped as dusk was giving way to early evening. <br/><br/>""He dislocated his shoulder,"" Clark Johnson said as he walked through the field towards Billy. ""Doc popped it back into place, but it's at least gonna take a few weeks to heal right. Might not ever be right again.""<br/><br/>""Shit,"" Billy said softly. ""I never meant anything by it.""<br/><br/>""He knows,"" Clark said as he sat down beside Billy. ""We all know. That's just how you are.""<br/><br/>The two of them let the silence envelope them for several minutes as what was left of the daylight disappeared and the stars started to show up in the sky one by one. Billy tucked his legs under his chin and sat there, lost in thought.<br/><br/>""I'm going down to Ohio,"" Clark said after a few more minutes of silence.<br/><br/>""What's down in Ohio?""<br/><br/>""Jobs. Good paying jobs. Down in Toledo, there's supposed to be an entire industry that's in need of workers. I weld over at Spartan Tool, you know, but old John is looking to sell his business. They're supposed to have unions with plenty of room for black men in them down in Toledo. I bet I can find a nice union job down there, work as an apprentice welder and get all kinds of money. Would you wanna go, Billy?""<br/><br/>""Why?"" Billy asked lazily. ""Don't wanna be no welder, don't wanna to be in no union.""<br/><br/>""But you want to play ball right? They got a few minor league ball teams down in Ohio, one right in Toledo. You got the talent to at least make a team and they don't have many qualms about negroes playing with white folks like some of the ones around here.""<br/><br/>""Why?"" Billy asked again. ""Why you pick me, Clark?""<br/><br/>""Because I see that look your eyes that I see in my eyes every time I look in the mirror. You're tired of the same shit every day. Tired of being in a rut you don't know how to get out of. You don't want to so much go somewhere, as you want to do something. Come with me to Ohio and we'll be doing something.""<br/><br/>Clark laughed and Billy thought he saw a wide smile in the dark.<br/><br/>""Plus, I get you out of Detroit before you end up killing one of them fools we play ball with.""<br/><br/>Billy laughed and shook his head.<br/><br/>""When were you thinking of going?""<br/><br/>""Soon as I can get the money put together. Two men traveling instead of two makes it cheaper. What do you think?""<br/><br/>Billy thought about what Clark said, about wanting something more. He also thought about his family, his parents and brothers and sisters. They needed support... but Hank and David were a few years younger than Billy and almost ready to go to work. They could find work and help the folks better, with two of them working instead of just him. He knew that, even as young as he was, this may be his last chance to make a break before something like a woman and children had him working in that machine shop until he was gray-headed and stooped shoulder. Clark was right. He wanted something more, and now he had at least an opportunity for that to happen.<br/><br/>""I think I'd like to see Ohio.""</div>"

Framed in the window of the thinly built screen door that looked out to the beach and sea beyond was a small boat skipping along the blue waves in the distance. With how far it was, the water-craft was little more than a black speck against the ocean. But it – and the appearance of others – was a source of with held curiosity among the base and its command.<br/><br/>“Tanganyikan has become concerned, to say the least.” an African pointed out. Dressed in nearly all black he was very much similar to Chinese IB, save for his equally dark skin tone. Beyond the similarities of dress the man represented a completely different office to a wholly different intelligence agency. He was a Walinzi agent.<br/><br/>Alongside him the lead IB agent for the base sat in a chair, his legs crossed as he leaned back watching things pass by with an alert and attentive look. Though Zhou had often Chen Wu with a distrustful silence, if for his visible and active distaste for her; she was at least glad he hadn't acted smarmy. But perhaps it was for their guest.<br/><br/>“Concerned? How so? Aren't they allied with Ethiopia. Should they not be acting so... hostile?” Dezhi Cao on the other hand had become agitated and skittish. He made efforts to hide the fact. But there was a hesitant way in which he moved that suggested that he wasn't doing so well. Among the troops earlier he kept reserved. But the outer shell was flaking. He was due to break when everyone left.<br/><br/>“Just several days ago they arrested the Taytu.” Chen Wu remarked, entering the conversation. He rose a hand to his temple and rested it there, putting on a bored and placated mask, “The way it was written they're afraid of what Taytu may be there to do.”<br/><br/>“Arrested Taytu?” Cao remarked visibly shocked. He stammered incoherently as he turned away from the window and walked across the room to his desk.<br/><br/>“That's what the briefing I got said.” Wu added dismissively.<br/><br/>“Well that's... uh... That's got to be treason in some book...” Cao mumbled in a low restrained voice. He trailed off into whispering confusion as he shuffled through the papers on his desk, desperately looking for a paper he missed reading. Or to pretend to do something but be surprised there was anything happening.<br/><br/>“So, does Addis expect us to break her out?” Cao asked suddenly, looking up at the African agent standing by the office door. He looked blank at Cao until finally speaking.<br/><br/>“That's not in my position to say, but I can assure you for as much as I know the Ethiopian government doesn't want Chinese assistance. At least not at the moment.” the Walinzi agent softly comforted, “But there is a whole other manner.” he added.<br/><br/>“I- ok. What is, uh- it?” asked the commander.<br/><br/>“Through your embassy we were asked to inform the Pemba garrison that they're to redeploy for Addis Ababa, effective as soon as possible with all deployable units. They're to report to the command of his highness Emperor Yaqob and to perform whatever duties he feels necessary.”<br/><br/>Zhou's heart skipped a beat and she looked up excited at the Walinzi agent. A pleasant warmth filled her chest and she took a deep proud sigh. Chen Wu looked over at her, and seemed to smile if for a little.<br/><br/>“With the situation in Djibouti dire – if not totally lost – then Addis Ababa has become the next vital target. I don't know command's effective strategy on the matter. So I trust they will fill you in on the current strategy and offer you your position of it.<br/><br/>“I was also told you would have gotten the order.” the agent nodded.<br/><br/>“Oh, I... uh-...” Cao stammered.<br/><br/>“We did, and we'll deploy as soon as possible. We're just preparing some assets now to prepare for Addis.” Chen Wu cutting in. The sudden affirmative action of the IB agent startled Cao who may have forgotten the quite agent was even in the room.<br/><br/>“That's good to hear.” the Walinzi agent smiled. “I expect you'll be deploying soon?”<br/><br/>“We will.” Wu assured, “Now, what's the situation on the Spanish? I've had sketchy reports.”<br/><br/>“Well I can understand if the IB has an incomplete dossier on the Spanish. So I might as well.<br/><br/>“Initial Spanish losses that we can estimate put the casualty rate at Djibouti to maybe about as high as six-thousand on the Spanish side. But this is a rough idea. No one can really get to the field to count the dead. But despite this Spanish force may still have a couple ten-thousand men, including armored units and helicopters.<br/><br/>“Through the course of the Djibouti engagement they deployed an unknown aircraft. Though he killed many of our own pilots with ease it was eventually shot down.”<br/><br/>“What are Ethiopian losses?” asked Wu.<br/><br/>“Harder to say, the battle itself isn't really done so our casualties are going up. Yesterday it was equal to Spain. But today it could have surpassed.”<br/><br/>“I see.” Chen Wu sighed, “Thank you.”<br/><br/>“It's a trying time for Africa, that's for sure. If that's all I need to know, I will wait for your departure to Addis if you don't mind.”<br/><br/>“Yes, p-please do.” Cao said quietly, “You're dismissed, comrade.”<br/><br/>“Thank you for the time.” the Ethiopian agent nodded warmly, stepping out of the room. As the room rattled shut behind him the three officers stood in tense silence.<br/><br/>“You ordered my men behind my back?” Cao growled, as he turned to Chen Wu.<br/><br/>“To be honest comrade, it's hardly my order or yours as much as Beijing.” he said, “And I waited an hour after initially receiving the message to wait for you to do something and you didn't do it. If we were to head out then we should be ready to leave at a moment's notice.”<br/><br/>“You still defied my authority!” Cao roared. His anger was intense, but not nearly explosive. He rounded on Chen Wu who remained seated in his chair, staring defiantly up at his superior officer. He was neither cock-sure or directly insubordinate in his expression, but merely un-phased.<br/><br/>“I took initiative.” the agent affirmed. The level-headed tone of his voice was surreal and spooky. And Zhou didn't know if it was this tone that made Zao's face glow redder, or a building sense of anger and characteristic fear.<br/><br/>She knew he wished to deny the war existed, and being slow to move was perhaps his way to uphold the fantasy. Despite African patrol ships just off the coast of the island.<br/><br/>“And there is still an order to things!” Cao continued to scold, “I wanted confirmation. Affirmation we were to be somewhere and do something.”<br/><br/>“And you should have launched earlier this morning.” the agent hissed, “Not wait for some check-in by a foreign service!” though he remained seated, his voice became strained and tense. He wrapped his hands around his sandy-brown pants. His knuckles glowing white as he wrapped them tight.<br/><br/>“You're not in a position to tell me what I need to do. Let me remind you,” Cao lowered himself to face-level with Wu, jabbing a finger into his chest, “You. Are. My. Intelligence. Liason. You are not in ultimate command of operations on this base. I AM! Not even Zhou has the authority to make that order. And you – as she – would do best to not do anything in MY NAME!”<br/><br/>“And what value is your name if you don't do shit!” Wu cracked back, standing up from the chair. “It's worth nothing! Your command is at this point of minimal value in-so-far as I am concerned and I will do damned well to make sure that this mission goes to its furthest value. When we get orders!<br/><br/>“Keep denying this war exists, you will be the first to be killed by Spanish shells when they come knocking on our base. Your family will be next to die when they gas all of China!<br/><br/>“Do you need to be reminded of the assets the Spanish possess which will only steal the world further from the utopia that it should be? The Spanish are the tumor that needs to be cut, before they release their cancer. Stop them now, so they may never use their VX on anybody or home!”<br/><br/>“I will see you relieved from your post.” Cao promised, “Get out of my office!” he demanded.<br/><br/>Chen Wu glowered glumly into Cao's eyes. And without so much as the courtesy of a bow he turned to the door and left. For the second time the door rattled closed and the two officers left listened to the footfalls of Wu as he left. Cao looked up at Zhou. Dark rings had formed under his eyes. And seemingly within minutes he had aged by twenty years, his shoulders sagged and he took on a heavier demeanor.<br/><br/>“So we're committed.” he said in a low voice, as he mourning a past family member. He kicked at the ground with a boot and walked to Zhou. But he dropped eye-contact, dropping his look to the floor.<br/><br/>“It would seem so. Why did you hide the order?” she asked, “I know you read it.”<br/><br/>“I did.” Cao admitted.<br/><br/>“How come?”<br/><br/>“I suppose...” he hesitated, “I suppose I did want to deny there was a war. That in the twisted, insane logic that when there is conflict between such nations it blows itself out before it can ever flair into an inferno. The whole world I guess has been standing on the precipice such as this. Waiting and holding its breath. And I've been trying hard, too hard. Now I am drowned.”<br/><br/>Zhou smiled warmly, she felt she should hug the man. But needed restraint. She instead lowered her head too, gazing down at his boots as she leaned to the side, arms crossed behind her. “You knew it was bound to happen all the same.” she said flatly.<br/><br/>“Don't say it like that.”<br/><br/>“You know you did, in some way. You're cracking up. I've never seen you bent out of shape like this. Knowing of course our career together has been short. But even under duress by the Turks you never truly threatened to snap. But you're starting to show the stresses.<br/><br/>“Have you heard how the steel made for our officer's swords are made?” she asked, looking back up. Cao had raised his head too, but had chosen to look passed her to the windows along the wall at her back. There the men drilled. And beyond the barracks the vaulted roofs of iron hangers stood in the heat of the African summer sun. The planes they once housed though were now of course idling on the tarmac, still hidden from him but all the same there. And waiting.<br/><br/>“Heat-forged steel, tempered and folded several times. Hammered in a mechanical press and fitted on per-fabricated handles. Why?” answered the officer.<br/><br/>“Because these swords aren't just made to look pretty. Inefficient by the standards of today obviously and a relic. But their a symbol and a tool. They can cut like any other knife, they're to be used to issue the justice we the officer feels need to be issued. Or in our defense. My old commanding officer kept himself alive on more than one occasion with his sword, which outdid any club, hatchet, or machete used against him on Mindanao.<br/><br/>“It's a symbol, but it still has its practical uses. And is used as such. We and our swords are much the same. And we've been treated, if in different manners.<br/><br/>“We've been tempered, through education and experience. In practice, a well tempered blade will be strong and powerful. It'll be flexible, and always return to its strength. Pure steel and iron will reinforce it's nature, and it will never break: not even under the worse conditions. Their tempering will carry on into the end, and perhaps beyond as a symbol of our services rendered in life.<br/><br/>“We will die. But our legacy as leaders will continue. We should bend, but never break. Be of the most pure, uncontaminated steel. We will break otherwise.<br/><br/>“With all due respect Cao, your metal is cracking under his stress. It's distressing. Perhaps Chen Wu is right. You can act pretty, that much is certain. But now I don't know if you can cut. Especially when the officer needs it to the most. Especially when your men need you the most.”<br/><br/>Cao chewed on his lip. He still looked tired. Still looked old. Zhou wondered if she had comforted him at all, or even changed his mind. He stood silent for a while, unmoving and without speaking. Zhou wondered if perhaps she had convinced him to give up, and that actually terrified her. Command she imagined would not be thrust upon her in such a dire moment. But somehow a part of her felt that Cao using this moment to pen his immediate resignation wasn't impossible. And another part felt terrified with how he might find a way to do that.<br/><br/>Finally he spoke: “Let's go to Addis then.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Addis Ababa</div><br/><br/>Even muffled, the groan of the airplane engines was nearly deafening in the cabin of the aircraft. Only thin plates of aluminum over a stocky frame separated the crew and the passengers from the abyss outside. It already did little for the cold, as it leached slowly in over their high-altitude affair. In the small windows set over the hull the soldiers could look out at passing clouds and the smoky horizon in the far distance.<br/><br/>Though a bomber originally, the large cabin of the Bǎolěi had been refitted to suit its new career as a transport. Simply bare-metal seats ran the length of the hull in benched units of five. Every avaible seat was taken and some stood clinging to the ropes that ran the entire length of the spine, their heads bowed as they clutched the collars of their uniforms tight to hold in as much heat as possible. For having sat in the African sun for so long, it was an understandable shock for many of the anxious-eyed young men.<br/><br/>Dezhi Cao through all of this had not spoken a word.<br/><br/>Sitting across from him Zhou sat watching her shrunken commander. He sat hunched in his seat, as doubled over as a bowed sapling as he slouched back against the cold uncomfortable steel and again forward. He held up an elbow as he rested his round face in the palm of a gloved hand. His eyes stared off into the near space in front of him. To casual observers it could be said he was looking at Zhou. But in all reality he was looking at nothing, simply having passed into a waiting coma.<br/><br/>Chen Wu sat separated from the two, as with the rest of the staff officers who were scattered not just within the aircraft, but among the others. But maybe it was for the best that they did not see their flaking commander as Zhou and Chen Wu knew him. Zhou looked over at the IB agent, he had become cold and impenetrable, riding the trip like a statue glued to his seat. His back lifted away from the back-rest, his signature black coat hung heavy and long across his knees and down to his booted ankles. With his face narrowed, expression frozen he resembled something akin to a priest. The sort of villainous image men in the military's image departments sought to portray the Christian preachers. 'He's only missing the collar.' Zhou thought to herself as they flew along above central Ethiopia.<br/><br/>A sudden sharp bump shook the aircraft and the sound of the engines changed to a lazier drone. There was a sharp electrical buzz, but not much else. But that was all they needed to know. The airplane was beginning its descent. Soldiers who had been holding shut their collars held up that hand to grip the rope for support. Those that sat grabbed hold of their seat as the plane jostled and rattled down. Some turned to peer out the window as outside the glass the clouds parted and in banking Addis Ababa came into view.<br/><br/>Many having not been so far from home gaped and chattered excitedly as they caught their first glimpses of the foreign capital. Zhou strained to look, leaning and twisting to look curiously out the window as her subordinates also leaned in to see. The sharp flashes of tin rooftops glowed out from behind fields of trees and the nested webbing of roadways that crossed the city. Towards its core high-rises stood out over the city-center. But unlike Beijing or Shanghai, these structures rose thin and short, like an eroded and ancient grave-yard. But in place of stone too worn to read, there was the polished shine of glass window panes.<br/><br/>The view did not last as the plane banked again, stealing the soldiers their view of the city as it came down to land. Instead as it swept it put into frame the distant peaks of the mountains and highlands that surrounded the city like a fortress wall, only broken by wide valley gates that nestled and funneled Addis Ababa into its triangular layout.<br/><br/>Groaning and frustrated, the plane erupted into irritated chatter and jeering catcalls from the men at the pilots, clearly dissatisfied with their view of this foreign land being so quickly stolen from them at the blink of an eye. What they got to watch instead was the mottled landscape that surrounded the airport as they came to land.<br/><br/>With a bump and a hard knock from the ground the airplane hit the runaway with a skipping stumble. The tires squealed underneath them and those who had not held themselves in tight were thrown from their chairs or from where they stood. Several took a stumble, much to the bemusement of their more veteran comrades. But as it came to a slow lumbering end, they pulled themselves up and brushed off, nervously grasping out to save what little face they could.<br/><br/>As the airplane drew to a stop the blaring music of whistles echoed in the metallic hull, echoing off themselves and from the walls in a great ear-rending wail summoning the men up. Taking their positions at the center of the plane the junior officers with their whistles in their mouth and hands at the hilt of their swords began directing the men up and into formation as towards the back the door of the bomber-turned-cargo plane opened with the raspy hiss of hydraulic arms.<br/><br/>Standing from his seat, Dezhi Cao sauntered to the opening door, squinting into the blinding afternoon sun that poured in with the hot wet air. Zhou wondered what he was going to do as he stood in the light, a shadow pressed against the burning light of the sun.<br/><br/>Turning abruptly he shouted, “Comrades! Parade formation!”<br/><br/>There was a simultaneous recognition of the order. “Yes, comrade!” the men shouted in unison. With tight step they marched from the back of the airplane. From the dusty Ethiopian runway they confirmed the order to the other unloading airplanes. And still the howl of landing cargo aircraft continued.<br/><br/>“Well, where too?” Chen Wu asked. There was a twisted sort of obedience in his tongue. His voice frowned with his expression.<br/><br/>“Yaqob,” Cao responded. He refused to look to Chu as he answered his question. Turning more to Zhou as he talked, “We're going to Yaqob.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Addis Ababa</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Han Wen</div><br/><br/>Passing into Addis had been at the tail end of a refugee train. Pulled along in wagons led by mules or packed in the back of trucks refugees fleeing the war with Spain all rushed south to the capital of the Empire. Desperate fearful faces peered out at the capital and them from behind the graying, darkening boards.<br/><br/>Mulki wove her car into the thick streams of people as they wove into the tin roofs of Addis Ababa's outer suburbs. In the shade of Eucalyptus and Acacia trees foreign journalists towered over them on stacks of boxes much like the mountains loomed over Addis proper. In their hands they flashed their cameras, desperately taking in images of the plight of Ethiopians in Spain's wake.<br/><br/>Has they rolled by Han Wen looked on with a captured expression of wonder and irony. The image of so many in Europe carrying perhaps for Ethiopia as their own blood propagated the violence was an astounding image to say the least. But there were those from Asia that he noticed, the leery and watchful NPN journalists who conducted their mission much more conservatively, hiding on ground level among the people and engaging one-on-one with them. Much akin to their Cambodian, Vietnamese, or Korean counterparts.<br/><br/>But never the less their identity of origin Wen's gut twisted inside him with nauseous anxiety. He withdrew down his sea, hiding from sight and hoping to keep from being pointed out. It would be one thing to be noticed first by a Chinese journalist, but it would be a whole new disaster if a pilot was spotted by one of the Westerners.<br/><br/>“What's the matter, you don't want your picture taken?” Mulki asked, obviously puzzled and very humored with Wen's shy attempts at withdrawing from view. He lay slunk all the way back in his seat, his knees bumping high against the dashboard.<br/><br/>“I wouldn't mind,” replied Wen, cautiously as he peered out through the dusty window, “But I'm worried how it might blow back if it was known someone associated with the Chinese military is seen here.”<br/><br/>“Seen!?” exclaimed Mulki, “I don't think you need to worry about that. You don't even have your jacket on, how can they tell?”<br/><br/>“Well maybe they just... can.” Wen frowned. The thought of them coming to know so easily was tickling in a terrifying way. And it made it worse that he fought them. What sort of assassin would the Spanish send after him if that were the case? They were known for stealing entire trains to get a single man, after all.<br/><br/>They continued to crawl along. Through the streets men and women walked back through the traffic, handing out charity as they went. Bottles of water and food items for the hungry travelers fleeing to the city they call home. “So where are we going?” Wen asked as he popped off  the lid of a plastic canteen of water.<br/><br/>“I think they'd like you at the Chinese embassy...” Mulki moaned as she searched the traffic for a opening to take advantage of. But it was bumper to bumper and door to door traffic, a wall of horns and fumes, “But that is if we can get there.”<br/><br/>“So long as we get there before the Spanish come and I'm back in a warplane.” Wen remarked, “That would be best.”<br/><br/>They continued cruising. As they made it past the main thoroughfares into the city the amount of refugee traffic began to thin and mold into the local ambient activity of Addis proper. The families that fled the advance of the Spanish scattered through the city, setting up camps off the sides of the streets or finding room and board where they gathered. It was out of their way, that much Wen was relieved for.<br/><br/>Soon in time the two departed the shanty towns around Addis Ababa's edge and cut began its passage into the city's center. Here the poverty of the outer edge melted away into up kept homes and businesses. Addis here Wen noted, was like some melting point of the world of the Arabs and the Africans, and from Europe itself in the north. Pale, bright, and plastered banks of low townhouses marched in regular succession down a sun-baked side-walked decorated and inter-spaced with gently sighing tree.<br/><br/>Turning through the streets as they continued their sojourn into the crown of the city only illuminated much the same. At times inter-mixing the pale plaster walls with glass facades shiny and illuminated from the African sun. But for all the feigned attempts at modernity there gathered just nearby the still reminders this was Africa. The noble lions that were this country's emblem were emblazoned decoratively on many surfaces. Mule or horse-pulled carts still roamed the streets, and in distant corners, hidden from view behind walls, hedges, and other buildings the fleeting glimpse of grass-thatches roof-tops disappeared from view and suddenly and softly as they came.<br/><br/>There was a tense demeanor to the city. A constant sorrowful note of anxiety that hummed through the city. It did not manifest itself as a full song, and on some streets life in the city seemed to be progressing as it might have before. But there was an urgency in what was happening.<br/><br/>The preparedness and urgency finally burst when they sailed onto Embassy Row. Vigilant at its intersections the street was under-guard as white-uniformed policemen stood at watch alongside barricades, guarding the entrance to the almost idyllic tree-lined avenue. At the corners and down the length of the road the Addis Ababa police loomed in the shade of the trees, looking pomp and regal in white uniforms as they watched the empty street and the foreign embassies with a relaxed look of security.<br/><br/>The Chinese embassy was a starched-white building that stood behind a thick brick wall, stained brown and gray from time and the African weather. Mulki pulled apprehensively and nervously to the front-gate, bringing the nose of the grumbling, hot car to within inches of the gate. Behind, a manicured lawn of green flanked a ribbon of silky black tarmac to the front door of the large house. A guard looked out from inside, an irritated look plastered on his face as he opened the gates and stepped up to the driver's side window.<br/><br/>His uniform was pressed and formal. Not the condition of field fatigues, not warn or haggard. It was sutured and cared for. And by his looks, the soldier leaning in the driver's side door no doubt strayed further than the bars closest to the embassy itself.<br/><br/>He leered inside with a phlegmatic look dashed across his face, “Name and business.” he barked in Chinese, he turned his gaze up to Wen and he glimmer of suspicion shown in his eyes.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">Kong Jun Yi Ji Jun Shi Zhang</span> Han Wen,” Wen barked back, “2nd jet-fighter group, Shanxi People's Defense Army, Pemba training detachment. Commanding officer is Shang Xiao Mao Hung, above him Dezhi Zao.”<br/><br/>The embassy guard looked up at him, with a stricken face but still coiled in cynicism. Reaching back Wen grabbed his flight jacket and tossed it in his face. The guard recoiled at the crumpled leather jacket, but more from the lingering smell of jet-fuel no doubt. “That's my fucking flight jacket. I don't have a fucking card when I crash landed. Can I fucking come in?” he snapped.<br/><br/>The guard looked from the coat not coiled in a lump in his arms then to Han Wen. With a groaning sigh he resigned. “You can come in.” he admitted, stepped to the gate to open the remaining door, allowing Mulki to coast in.<br/><br/>She drove down the drive-way. Decorating the interior side of the embassy's property wall coils of vines and flowers grew in raised stone beds to hide and shroud the stone-work in a perpetual sheath of green leaves and florescent flowers. Drawing up close to the columned front door of the embassy they passed a shallow pool of crystalline water. As a stream flowed into the pool in a trickling fountain the orange banner of China fluttered in a broken reflection in the pool's surface. Mulki parked nearby.<br/><br/>“We received a message that Dezhi Cao's men will soon be arriving to the embassy.” the front guard called back as he walked up behind him, the leather jacket wrapped around his arm. “So I don't imagine you'll be here long before they come in. But I'd still go and see Ambassador Long, he can at least get word into Beijing that you're not MIA.” he added, throwing the coat to Wen.<br/><br/>He grabbed it, the stiff sun-baked leather thumped heavily in his arms. He tossed it over his shoulders and bowed to the guard, who returned the favor. “Thank you, comrade.”<br/><br/>The guard gave him a silent nod of approval as he turned to the door. “You're going to need to wait in the lobby.” he told Mulki as she followed him inside.<br/>___________________________________________________<br/><br/>Inside the embassy was controlled chaos. Sounds echoed from all the halls of attendants and personnel preparing to move items and furniture out. Or going through books and diplomatic files to decide what to keep and what to destroy before they left. Han Wen could not claim to understand much of it, and could only work around the hurriedly moving embassy personnel as they frantically dashed down the stairs.<br/><br/>“I'm looking for ambassador Long.” he told them, but they ignored them as they galloped across the wood floors with boxes in their arms. Those that did respond gave him vague direction, gently moving him in the direction he needed to go, or they believed he needed to be.<br/><br/>He found him though, standing in the window of a large room that might have once been a master bed-room. It's tall cathedral ceiling echoed with the pilot's foot-falls as he walked across the naked room. Much of what the room had held was moved out by now. The rest that couldn't be moved was already covered in sheets, except for his desk.<br/><br/>“No faith in Hassan?” Wen asked nervously as he came to a stop in the middle of the room. He didn't know how to approach an ambassador. The window the ambassador stood before was impressive, it looked out on the street below where light traffic rolled back and forth, from behind the safety of hedge-covered walls.<br/><br/>He didn't respond. Instead the ambassador slowly turned. He was an impressive man by any standards, in fact very mundane. He was small, even by standards in Asia. His hair was a messy mat of black and his brown eyes fixed themselves on Wen. Deep worry lines carved his melon head. “Who are you?” he asked, the question was sharp but not made out of insult given his softened tone of voice, “You're not the regular staff.”<br/><br/>“Han Wen, from the Pemba Training Group. I was shot down over Somalia some several days ago. I finally managed to secure a way here. I'd like to get back in a plane, comrade.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” Long bowed, “I'm Long Rang-je, pleasure to meet your acquitance.<br/><br/>“Usually I'd have papers for you and I to fill out but I don't think that'll be necessary.” he added on a sour note. His voice was withdrawn and meek, “I'm sure comrade Cao can do the required moves to correct your MIA status in Beijing to active and alive. But right now I'm afraid I can't really do that.”<br/><br/>“How come?” Wen asked, walking closer to the ambassador as he turned to lean over his desk.<br/><br/>“Just earlier this morning I was contacted by Beijing to tell me I was to evacuate Addis as soon as possible.” Long said, “I was also informed that Dezhi Cao is moving up to Addis Ababa. It's my hope that I and my staff can be withdrawn to Pemba.<br/><br/>“On that detachment too was notification the Third International has declared war on Spain.”<br/><br/>“The Comintern declared war on Spain?” Wen asked, “So what does that mean?”<br/><br/>“For us: absolutely nothing. But it's given us commitments. Beijing didn't tell me what they're going to use their commitments on for the war-effort or any details. I only got a briefing on it. I was to send a copy to the Emperor and that was to be my final assignment in Addis before the Spanish arrive.<br/><br/>“I have reason to believe in some manner in the future cooperation between China and Ethiopia will be conducted through military leadership than diplomats for the course of this conflict as long as we're both concerned.<br/><br/>“So: I can't do anything for you.” he smiled apologetically, holding out his hands and shrugging, “Phones even are disconnected. You're just going to have to wait for Cao's men to arrive. Last I heard they just landed.<br/><br/>“Welcome back.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Heilongjiang</div><br/>“When you look out at this landscape, you come to learn what made our former masters.” a man said, as he sat reclined in a wicker chair on the back porch of a secluded back-woods home. The eaves of the porch dripped with fresh summer rain-water, dropping small diamond glimmers of sun-lit water on the dark maroon handrails of the deck. Even the wood underneath had been soaked through from side-ways passing rainfall. As it had been, the rain was hard and the wind swept sharp. It had just ended moments before, as Chen Wu was told.<br/><br/>The campaign manager who had so quickly found himself managing a nation-wide affair sat alongside his host in a pale-yellow chair. Wrapped over his shoulders was a thin blanket loaned to him by his host, and in his hands a warm cup of tea. The spindly and meekly man had come complaining of the cold nip in the air, even if it was the heart of July and the midst of the short Manchurian summer. But it had rained suddenly, and on its tail came slinking what the weathermen were calling a Siberian low.<br/><br/>His host however did not seem to care.<br/><br/>Chen Yiaoliang was a larger man by comparison to the mousy Wu. He sat with his feet against the railing as he sipped slowly at his tea, savoring the fresh warm drink washing his tongue. A popular musician by all hours, and he looked the part. His face was round and boyish, but had a muture light that glowed from his smiling cheeks and already the faint hints of smile lines were embedding themselves alongside his cheery almond eyes. “It's a hard land, but it's beautiful. It is no wonder the Manchu in their most ancient times were so reverent of nature. It's almost a shame that much of the world has forgotten the natural splendor.” he continued warmly, holding his hands out to the landscape just outside his front-porch.<br/><br/>Yiaoliang's house sat at the top of a rugged hill, its read faced north towards what was often referred to as Chinese Russia. But covered thick in pine forests that sprawled and rose and fell over the broken and bending landscape there was no telling if there was a border here, or where it was. Though it was still miles behind the highest rise from either man's view.<br/><br/>It was idyllic, that much Chen Wu would give him. But it was isolated and difficult to get to. He wanted to out of grace to regard every bead of crystal rain that rested on every leaf and board with the same childish appreciation as Yiaoliang. But he couldn't nearly muster that much fervor for the Taoist. “It's an ocean of eternity I think.” Chen waxed, “It doesn't shift uncomfortably as the ocean would when a storm comes. It will dance if you let it and watch it. But it is resilient, and strong as the stone it sits upon.<br/><br/>“In several thousand – perhaps million – it will finally move. Maybe it'll wash itself as flat as Mongolia. But it will only do so at its own will. It's own natural power.” he smiled around his words, and took a cherishing sip of tea.<br/><br/>“It is a sight.” Wu added, himself drinking from his cup as he wrapped the blanket tighter around him. A light breeze gusted through, bringing a new burst of cool moist air. Nearby chimes sung a silver song at the blowing wind.<br/><br/>“Did you ever want to go somewhere just to forget things?” Yiaoliang asked.<br/><br/>“I never imagined I would ever want to forget anything.” Wu answered coldly.<br/><br/>“Well it's too bad. Man today should really take a moment to be alone and see into themselves. Or to see natural wonder unfettered by human habitation. Here I am isolated. Here I can be among myself, and to my craft. What do you think?”<br/><br/>“I think it sounds fine by you.”<br/><br/>Yiaoliang sighed deep. “So I see.” he whispered, “But really, what keeps you away?”<br/><br/>“My work.”<br/><br/>“I know of your work.” the singer nodded, “I can also guess why you're here. I don't suppose then you want to admire the mountains.”<br/><br/>“I admit I'm not nearly as poetic as you, comrade.” apologized Wu, “I don't write songs. I'm not an artist. I like numbers. I like the results numbers bring, and I want to bring in more. So does my client.”<br/><br/>“Zhang Auyi.”<br/><br/>“He'd appreciate it a lot more than me.”<br/><br/>“I imagine he thinks I owe him favors.” pointed Yiaoliang. As romantic as he was, he wasn't a moron. His poetic warmth subsided to a business cold and his feet came off the railing. He straightened the way he sat, and leaned over his tea. Wu watched in that instant as he became less the celebrity he was, and more a dealer. Something even of a politician if he chose to pursue it. He had been dealing with the political establishment for long enough. Not to know how it works, but enough to understand the intrigue and how to approach it.<br/><br/>This was assertion he was showing Wu.<br/><br/>“To be honest he didn't tell me he thinks you owe him.” Wu told him. He sat up to match, keeping the blanket over his shoulder, “And I'd like to imagine what it is you're thinking.”<br/><br/>“Perhaps I could do with knowing this supposed 'favor' I may be returning?”<br/><br/>“Auyi wants endorsement. He wants support.” offered Chen Wu, “He needs someone who can speak to the younger generation. A progressive, a poet. Someone to wake up a contingency who doesn't realize what they want, and they need to be enlightened.”<br/><br/>“Auyi's a politician, can he not rally the others to bring a vote his way.” Yiaoliang said in a low voice, “That is what this sort of thing turns into. He has influence over the news. He's already won with that sort of key. You and I know it!”<br/><br/>“Perhaps, but it doesn't help that in latest campaign polls Mang Zhu is actually a few points behind. The other part of Auyi's ministerial constituency are agricultural. These are men and their families either too isolated to be counted, too busy to volunteer, or who many not actually know what's going on.<br/><br/>“Do you like Xhu?”<br/><br/>“I can't say I'm passionate about his aggressive ideology. So what we had a successful revolution here in China? It's not a reason to roll tanks to Madrid and warships into range of Tokyo to force the world to succumb.”<br/><br/>“You would have the world mature on their own time?”<br/><br/>“The man who stands to walk against the current will be brought down by it. The people are the currents I feel, and the men who walk in it are the nations.<br/><br/>“I am proud of the state. But not so much to forcefully knock over the existing state on the assumption that's what the river it stands in really wants or flows too. Give time, revolution will come.”<br/><br/>“So you like Auyi?” Wu questioned.<br/><br/>“Hard to say when there's over a dozen people trying to be Hou Sai Tang.”<br/><br/>“Closer to thirty actually.” Chen Wu corrected, “I'm particularly fascinated by the late submissions of William Chou and Grigory Maxov.”<br/><br/>“Never heard of either.”<br/><br/>“You wouldn't have, their support groups are far too small to actually register, they lack the endorsements for campaign invitations. One is a municipal official in Hong Kong and the other is a police chief in Vladivostok.”<br/><br/>“Amazing.” Yiaoliang laughed.<br/><br/>“It's absolutely inspiring, but beyond the point.” noted a cranky Chen Wu, “So what say the offer?”<br/><br/>“If you had written I would have given it thought. But you're here on part of Auyi so I guess he wants an immediate answer.”<br/><br/>“I expect that.”<br/><br/>“I'll have to unfortunately say I'll have to think.” Yiaoliang bitterly admitted, “I appreciate the thought, comrade. But it's a surprising obligation to take up. You're the first and only type to ask. I don't want to stir up the water.”<br/><br/>Wu nodded, “Shall I keep in touch then?”<br/><br/>“Go ahead.”<br/><br/>“I'll contact you in the next week. Election itself happens this coming fall. Remember that.”<br/><br/>“I will.”</div>"

Just a few inches shy of seven feet tall, Ambassador Martin was tall enough that he often found himself stooping through doorways. It was no coincidence that Spain's ambassador to Ethiopia was a giant. As early as 1971, during Miguel Tejero's first administration, the Spanish anticipated trouble with Ethiopia due their new and extensive border with the Empire after acquiring French Algeria. An impressive specimen was sought to serve as the new envoy to the sprawling African empire - one that would lend the impression that the Spanish were a powerful race that was not to be trifled with. Towering Rogelio Martin, a junior member of the Partido Conservador, fit the bill for that intimidating figure. He was whisked off to Addis Ababa where he had spent most of the last eight years.<br/><br/>Over the better part of a decade, he had been caught in several of the African nation's most trying moments. The assassination of Yohannes Iyasu, the Civil War and the associated unrest, the Rouge General's uprising, the attempt on Emperor Yaqob's life and the riots that followed. For a diplomat posted in the Ethiopian capital, each crisis had been more unsettling than the one before. About once a year or so, Ambassador Martin would fear for his life due to a crisis that had befallen his host nation.<br/><br/>But none approached the nightmare that had become the Spanish Invasion.<br/><br/>Spain had threatened Ethiopia once before. There had been a naval standoff in the Red Sea and brinksmanship on the part of the Spanish military. But nothing had come of that. Now, almost without warning, the Spanish Armada had come to Ethiopia and brushed aside her defenses. A Spanish army had already landed on Africa's shores - bloodied but intact. They would be coming for capital next, and barring divine intervention they would arrive soon.<br/><br/>Spain's embassy in Addis Ababa was an unremarkable affair, one of a hundred other narrow townhouses on a street in one of Addis' more affluent neighborhoods known as Embassy Row. Some nations, like the New People's China Embassy three blocks down, were like walled compounds. The Spanish embassy was quite small in contrast; an attractive, narrow building sandwiched between similar townhouses with area of just 1,500 square feet. From his window, from which a wicker flowerbox of red and yellow marigolds hung, Ambassador Martin watched familiar figure approach the door from the sidewalk - his arms wrapped around overflowing brown bags of groceries and his face blushing red from the African heat.<br/><br/>A pair of guards stood on either side of the door in the shade of an acacia tree. Recognizing him immediately as one of the three diplomats permanently assigned to the Spanish embassy, they allowed him through to the front door without a word. The Ethiopians had stepped up the police presence on Embassy Row as of late, but even so, the Spanish was one of the few embassies that had dedicated guards. Even when he had begun his tenure as the Ambassador to Ethiopia under the reign of Emperor Yohannes Iyasu, Spain had never been a particularly popular country as far as the Ethiopian people were concerned. With the events of the past two months, Ambassador Martin was in the running for the most hated man in Ethiopia after Alfonso Sotelo. Without the embassy's Republican Guard attache, Rogelio was convinced he would have already been hanged from a limb of the acacia tree outside - the Ethiopian police presence notwithstanding.<br/><br/>Even during the crisis in 1977, when Sotelo had threatened war with Ethiopia for the first time, Ambassador Martin didn't remember being afraid of going outside. But with open warfare between the Pan-African Empire and Spain, he didn't dare to show his face in public; Rogelio hadn't left the Embassy in two weeks. He had been sending Arturo, who knew enough French to pass for someone at the French Embassy, out to fetch groceries or run errands. Even for Arturo, even the most mundane of tasks had become dangerous work and Rogelio hardly enjoy being couped up inside indefinitely. But when black-suited effigies of Sotelo were being burned throughout the city, it was too dangerous for anyone connected to Sotelo's regime to be seen about in Addis.<br/><br/>No sooner than Arturo had set the crinkling bags full of groceries upon the lobby's desk, Rogelio had descended the claustrophobic staircase, wide-eyed and thirsty for news from the outside world. ""Have you heard anything?"" the Ambassador demanded.<br/><br/>""I saw a bunch of cars outside the chink embassy,"" Arturo reported, wiping beads of sweat from his forehead. ""Can't remember the last time I saw anyone parked there. Something's up.""<br/><br/>""Do you think they're leaving the embassy?"" Martin asked. Ever since news of the Battle at the Suez broke, countries had been recalling their diplomatic missions in Ethiopia back home. As news of each battle reached the press, a few more countries left Embassy Row. But most had remained, possibly because the Spanish Embassy seemed to be operating as if everything were normal. The other ambassadors and diplomats seemed to believe that if Addis Ababa were to be threatened, the Spanish Embassy would be among the first to know. When the Spanish started packing up - <span class=""bb-i"">that</span> would be the moment to panic. Unfortunately for everyone still on Embassy Row, the Ambassador Martin knew just as much - or perhaps less - about the progression of the Spanish invasion as everyone else.<br/><br/>""I would have <span class=""bb-i"">loved</span> to ask them, but I can imagine how that would have turned out.""<br/><br/>""The Chinese know something we don't. That, or they're getting nervous.""<br/><br/>""As if we're not nervous? Goddamn Ministry won't tell us to evacuate until our own Ejercito is shelling us.""<br/><br/>""Maybe they will,"" the Ambassador suggested. ""We're due for a call as it is. Let's just see what Madrid has to say.""<br/>_____________________________________<br/><br/>With Arturo at his post downstairs, Ambassador Martin punched in the ten-digit number that would put him through to Madrid with practiced speed. He put the phone to his ear and listened for a quarter of a minute as a staticky dial tone was heard. At last, the muted emptiness was cut out by a Castillian voice.<br/><br/>//Governmental directory. State your name and business,// the operator requested.<br/><br/>""Rogelio Martin,"" he responded, ""with the Embassy in Addis Ababa. Put me through to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.""<br/><br/>//One moment, allow me to transfer your call.//<br/><br/>The dial tone once again droned softly in the Ambassador's ear as the operator ""transferred"" his call. Rogelio Martin knew that to be a lie. The Ministry had been put on the line immediately - Madrid was already all ears. Amidst the soft, staticky clicking heard over the dial tone, the real conversation had begun. <span class=""bb-i"">This</span> was the reason the Spanish Embassy in Addis would remain open until the absolute last minute.<br/><br/>The Walinzi had likely been tapping the embassy's phone line for the past five years - and now with hostilities between Ethiopia and Spain, the empire's intelligence-gathering body had to be listening in on every call coming to and from Madrid. In order for sensitive information to be relayed, some guile had to be employed. With the Walinzi listening in on every word, secret messages between the embassy and Madrid had to be both audible to those who knew what to listen for, and silent to eavesdroppers.<br/><br/>The solution was Morse code. Ambassador Martin listened hard into the crackling dial tone and heard it. They were almost indistinguishable from the random clicks and chirps that could be heard over the phone. But for those who knew what to listen for, it was plain to hear. Alternating short and long clicks were being transmitted with a modified Morse key by Arturo in another room. Messages in morse code were transmitted under the Walinzi's nose directly to Spain's own intelligence apparatus - the Oficina de Inteligencia Militar. For not only was Arturo picking up food and supplies on his errand runs into the city; he carried at the bottom of his grocery bags coded messages from field agents collected from field agents across the African continent.<br/><br/>Three minutes elapsed before someone at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs picked up - conveniently when Arturo's static-disguised message terminated. //Ambassador Martin, a pleasure to hear from you, as always.//<br/><br/>""Equally so, Minister. I'm calling to determine if it is safe for us to remain in Addis Ababa for the time being, or if we should make preparations to evacuate."" Rogelio cut to the reason for the call at once. This exchange was all just a show for the Walinzi. The Minister would tell them everything was fine for the time being in order to prevent the Ethiopians from anticipating a Spanish attack and summarily reinforcing the city. An actual call to evacuate would have come as a command in Morse during the ""dead air"" just before.<br/><br/>//No worries, Ambassador! I understand your concern, given the... difficult situation facing the embassy in Ethiopia. But I can assure you, it is my understanding that you and your personnel are quite safe for now. We will let you know if your safety is ever imperiled, but for now, I ask you to carry out your duties until relieved.// Rogelio and his counterpart gave their goodbyes before hanging up. Immediately, the Ambassador rushed downstairs to see what Arturo had transcribed from the Morse code.<br/><br/>""What did they actually say?"" Ambassador Martin demanded, hovering high above Arturo as he transcribed Morse into letters on a notepad.<br/><br/>""We're not going anywhere,"" Arturo sighed, throwing a ballpoint down against the paper. There, Arturo had scrawled the Morse code orders he had heard among the background noise of the call: 'Remain until further notice'.<br/><br/></div>"

People move silently through the streets as the rain and wind rush them indoors as quickly as they could. Despite the howling wind and the thunks of large raindrops landing on the pavement and cars - the city was silent.<br/><br/>In a small locale coffee shop, locals sat silently as the TV in the corner continued to play the broadcast that had gripped the entire nation.<br/><br/>""- It seems that King Florenstano has fallen into a coma as of three-o-clock yesterday afternoon, he is currently in The San Giovanni Addolorata Hospital under going treatment. Medical officials believe a stroke that happened earlier in the morning to be the cause. It is currently unknown why our King was not sent to the Hospital at a sooner time. His planned speech on the issue of the Spanish-Ethiopian war and Italy's stance will be postponed until further notice.""<br/><br/>With that, the news program switched to the local weather reports and people slowly began to sit down back at their tables, where their coffees and snacks had long gone cold. The silence remained as the clouds and rain washed away the color.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">------Several kilometers of the coast of Djibouti, several hours after the Spanish invasion.(AKA the past because im slow as fuck)-----</span><br/><br/>""They're god damn monsters. They turned the entire city into molten stone."" Illardi cursed, he didn't even need the binoculars to see the extent of the damage he believed the Spanish to have caused to the Ethiopian city. ""I pray the Ethiopians were able to evacuate, not even communist supporters deserve such a dishonorable fate such as what the Spanish brought with them.""<br/><br/>Captain Aleramo Laurenzi let out a sigh as he paced back and forth, many of the crew members stationed on his cruiser were topside, watching out over the water at the massive smoke column that could probably be seen from Cairo. ""We still have conflicting reports on who exactly turned that city into the state it is now. The Ethiopians could have done it after evacuating in a delay action to buy their army time to regroup. The Spanish could have done it to show that there is no hope in winning against such a superior opponent. Either way, Djibouti is gone and Rome will want to hear of this. Get on the radio.""<br/><br/>""Aye sir... but if I may ask, who do you think destroyed the city."" Illardi questioned as he started to walk away, and yet he never did get his answer from the Captain.<br/><br/>Laurenzi leaned against the railing as the cruiser lightly cruised across the silk waters of the Red Sea, keeping plenty of distance and making sure the Italian flag was high and proud to make sure no remaining Ethiopian shore batteries, or even Spanish guns, would fire at them.<br/><br/>""The more important question, is will Italy be dragged into this? Get this vessel turned around and back to Syracuse.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">----------Palazzo del Quirinale, Rome.-----------</span><br/>Prime Minster Everardo paced back and forth in his office. His mind was too active, to unfocused from him to be sitting still. While the outside world might not know it, Italy's government was precariously balanced so that any disruption of the satus quo could have drastic consequences. The power was split between the Royal Family, himself as the Prime Minster, and the senate. Take any one out of the picture, and things can get ugly. <br/><br/>Florenstano was in a coma, and he knew that it was unlikely for him to wake up. A stroke, battling cancer, and who knows what other health conditions had worn the stubborn man down over time. Seems the stroke finally broke down that final barricade. This was bad with his only heir, a female at that, too young to take the throne - a regency under Queen Isabella would have to be instituted. The Senate loathed her.<br/><br/>All because she was a Eagle, in a Dove dominated Senate. The coalition of several radical parties, spearheaded by the 'Fascist' party made up the term 'Eagle.' They wanted nothing more then to plunge Italy into war in Croatia, Africa, and god knows where else all the regain Territory promised nearly seventy years ago and then lost.<br/><br/>The Doves made up the many conservative and democratic parties not under the Eagles, and they have managed to hold sway as both the Royal Family and the Senate were under their control. Now... Italy would be split. The regency could give the Eagles the support they need to get their laws through the senate, and gather a much larger supporting base.<br/><br/>Everado was neither Eagle nor Dove. Like many Italians, he longed to have the honor and prestige that once benefited his country... but not in a way that would plunge his people into a senseless war against Ethiopia or Croatia.<br/><br/>""You have been pacing there for a solid seven minutes, Prime Minister. You didn't even notice me come in and make a drink."" Isabella said coolly, suddenly appearing to the unaware Everado as he noticed her sitting in one of the open chairs.<br/><br/>""You are not with your husband in the hospital?"" Everado asked, already knowing the answer.<br/><br/>""Neither are you, we both were sent away around the same time. Your memory seems to be failing you.""<br/><br/>""Listen, I know why you're here.""<br/><br/>""I can't say I'm surprised, you always had a knack for noticing the obvious.""<br/><br/>""It is not for me to decide, your highness. It falls to Florenstano, not me or the Senate. He is the head of Royal Family.""<br/><br/>""Yet, he is unable to give an answer for an unknown period of time. However, luckily for both of us... he knew something like this would happen eventually. He already decided.""<br/><br/>""You are to become Queen-Regent, I presume?"" Everado sighed, finally taking a seat and leaning back, his chair making an audabile creak.<br/><br/>""You'd be shocked if I said no?""<br/><br/>""No, I wou-... No? He said no?"" Everado's entire fear over the fate of his nation seemed to wash away around him. No longer did a divded government threaten to tear away at the seems.<br/><br/>""Ah, so you would be. I am to be designated Queen-Regent while Princess Evelina continues her schooling and comes of age to take the throne.""<br/><br/>Like that, Everado sighed.<br/></div>"

While nothing was in sight, it was deafeningly calm, the Bosnians had been on the watch for any signs of a Serbian invasion ever since they joined the Iberian League. The officer sighed, setting the binoculars on a small table that had been put in the watchtower.<br/><br/>“Anything sir?” said a soldier, stepping up into the rifle. He carried a small sack, which was slung off to the side, and a rifle strapped to his back.<br/><br/>“No, you ready to reassume your watch duty?” said the officer, turning to the soldier standing behind him.<br/><br/>“Yes sir.” he nodded, taking the Officer’s position.<br/><br/>Much of the day passed as the soldier just watched and observed, the occasional bird flying overhead. The soldier shortly left the tower, leaving the binoculars in the tower. The officer and a few other soldiers stood in various positions around the outpost.<br/><br/>“Nothing to report sir.” said the soldier, saluting the officer and assuming an upright and straight posture.<br/><br/>“Excellent then. Were about to begin lunch. You have a few minutes…” the Officer cut himself off, as he and the rest of the outpost turned to a sound coming from the distance.<br/><br/>“Sounds like a plane.” spoke another one of the soldiers, rushing to the officer’s position. <br/><br/>As the soldier spoke, within the sight of the Bosnians appeared a small metal plane in the sky. Underneath it it carried several bombs, and the crest of Serbia rested upon its side.<br/><br/>“Get a message out, now!” shouted the Officer, launching the soldiers as they all began running. The bomber approached to fast, and its first bomb landed right next to the observation tower. Due to the close proximity of many the buildings in the outpost, the shockwave sent many of the soldiers tumbling to the ground. The observation tower came crashing down in a wave of fire, killing many soldiers.<br/><br/>The officer attempted to stand up as another bomb fell down near him, sending a wave of dust in shrapnel into the air. He barely managed to regain his balance as he felt ringing in his airs, and pieces of shrapnel that had embedded their jagged edges into his leg. He began limping towards the main building, but quickly collapsed as the pain began consuming. The last thing he saw before collapsing, was a single bomb hitting the ground.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Belgrade, Serbia</span><br/>Neven watched as his Generals overlooked a map of the Balkans, planning the offensives of the Bosnian War. Unofficially it had already begun, with a few precision strikes with bombers planned to begin paving the way for the Serbian Forces to reach Sarajevo. Neven smiled, his plans were beginning to fall into place. It would not be long before he brought in a United South Slav state.<br/><br/>“All of our forces should focus on pushing towards Sarajevo, it shall help bring about a swift end to the war.” commented General Adam.<br/><br/>“I would advise against that.” said Commandante Azorin, one of the Spanish advisers. He was a lean man, slinking out of the shadows and up to the map. His bald head shone in the light coming from the elegant chandelier above. A thick brown beard helped muffled his voice.<br/><br/>“Doing that could cause a longer war in Bosnia. If Serbia wants this war to be effective as possible, it needs to be as fast as possible. Move in and secure it before anyone can notice, that way the bulk of your forces can return to the outer borders to prevent Hungary or Croatia from getting any ideas.” spoke, as he began pushing the various little pieces representing the armies around.<br/><br/>“Move a few divisions and bombers along the border and make sure it is secured, keeping the Bosnian Army distracted and divided into pockets. The bulk of your forces can then move to Sarajevo, less resistance.” he finished, looking towards the group of Generals.<br/><br/>Adam began attempting to speak as if to try to stop Azorin’s plan, but Nevan silenced him.<br/><br/>“I have complete faith in your abilities, Adam, but the Spanish have mastered the Art of War in a way we have not. As the Commander and Chief of the Serbian Military I order you to begin implementing Azorin’s plan.” said Nevan, looking towards Azorin.<br/><br/>“Thank you Nevan, I shall begin helping them plan the more fine details.” said Azorin.<br/><br/>“If so then I must leave. I have a few things that I must begin planning of my own. I leave you know, do ensure that everything about this war goes well for Serbia. It would be a shame if we were to fall after we have come so far.” finished Nevan, leaving the room as Azorin turned backed to the table and assisted the Generals.<br/><br/></div>"

The mountain range's breath blew into him from all angles within the open Barracuda gunship; though the desert air was warm indeed, the wind's speed stole the warmth off Julio's skin with ease and tugged at the spare pilot's fatigues he had thrown on before takeoff. Julio and the other Spaniards aboard the commandeered helicopter would have to look the part if this plan had any hope of success.<br/><br/>And as far as he was concerned, it didn't.<br/><br/>Julio was surprised that the plan concocted by Graciela, Dejene, and his Tuaregs had made it this far. Capturing a helicopter from the Spanish Army was no small feat in its own. But it was one thing to bait and surround a patrol gunship out in the desert, and another thing entirely to capture a military base. Liberating a place as well defended as La Cabeza seemed like it would be a daunting task for seasoned soldiers or mercenaries. And of all the twelve people crammed aboard this helicopter, only Dejene - the Ethiopian commando - seemed to have any military expertise. Graciela had proven herself a capable markswoman, and Joaquin had used his issued handgun perhaps twice during his service in the Madrid police district. As for the rest of them, Sotelo might have found them ideologically dangerous, but in combat they could not be expected to inflict any casualties.<br/><br/>""We're getting close,"" Julio could scarcely make out over the pulsating whine of the rotors. In the copilot's seat, Graciela traced her fingers over a landmark on a checkerboard-folded topo map, then pointed out a distant ridge to the Ethiopian piloting the chopper, his knappy mane billowing in the wind flowing through the bullethole in the windshield to his left. ""La Cabeza should be just beyond that ridge.""<br/><br/>""We will have to be cautious in landing,"" Dejene noted. ""If they see the bullet hole in the windshield, it will arouse suspicion.""<br/><br/>""Climb up a bit higher,"" Graciela suggested. ""If we are at higher altitudes, no one on the ground will be able to see it.""<br/><br/>As Dejene throttled up, Julio heard the whirring din increase in pitch while the Earth shrank beneath the gunship. Julio did not consider himself an acrophobe, but with no walls between himself and the churning air beyond the Barracuda's riveted hull, he was rather grateful for the seatbelt strapping him to the chopper's bench seating. Outside the hull, the sawtooth ranges of the Atlas Mountains gave the horizon a jagged edge. This was the northwest fringe of the Sahara desert; beneath their helicopter, the endless sand ergs that dominated North Africa became a patchwork of desert valleys where the desert worked its way between the outward-running fingers of the Atlas foothills. Dunes of undulating sand glowed in the late afternoon sun between ridges of dark granite. The land below was a majestic and desolate place; a place that was deeply inhospitable to man. The government had gone to incredible lengths to ensure their facility at La Cabeza was not found.<br/><br/>""Julio,"" Joaquin nudged him in the side, ""do you feel that?""<br/><br/>""Do I feel <span class=""bb-i"">what</span>?""<br/><br/>Julio held still for a moment, and then he felt the sensation. A constant vibration coursing through the helicopter, in the air itself. The other Spaniards looked about now with concern written on their faces. They too felt the vibration, and feared something was wrong. Some fearful seconds passed before an olive-colored mass then drew into their field of view outside and the roar of four great propellers droned into their ears over the pulsing whine of the propellers. Out of nowhere, an airplane had appeared in the sky next to their gunship - close enough that Julio would be able to throw something at the plane's near wingtip and drifting closer at a dizzying speed.<br/><br/>""Plane!"" Julio bellowed fearfully. Dejene and the pilot of the airplane seemed to have noticed one another at the last available moment. He got a brief glimpse of the other plane making a hasty, jerky bank out of the way before Dejene yanked hard on the throttle and peeled the helicopter down and away in the opposite direction. Julio's fingers gripped the bench with white-knuckle force as the chopper descended.<br/><br/>""Where the Hell did he come from?"" Joaquin remarked over the propellers.<br/><br/>""That was a Gargola, as was the one we shot down,"" Dejene noted once he had stabilized the Barracuda. ""We drifted into their landing approach.""<br/><br/>""Let's be sure we don't-..."" Graciela began, but stopped herself midsentence. ""There it is."" That prompted everyone in the chopper to look forward through the windshield. A far ridge had just passed underneath the helicopter and at last, the Spaniards saw what La Cabeza truly was.<br/><br/>A colossal mesa of red sandstone rose up into the sky above a backdrop of distant ranges, commanding a rocky wasteland that extended for miles and miles in every direction. The stone mass had the appearance of a half-buried face looking skyward from the desert floor; ridges on the top of the mesa would slope upward and downward in such a way that a person's forehead, nose, and chin were vaguely represented. There was no doubt that this mountain was La Cabeza - the Head.<br/><br/>Paved roadways crisscrossed the desert around the mountain itself, often running parallel with a railroad that ran from North to South. Julio could see a freight train chugging away from the mountain along the track below him. Diffuse diesel smoke rose from the engine car as it towed perhaps a kilometer's worth of cars laden with unmarked shipping containers.<br/><br/>""Look how they've got sentries escorting the train,"" Joaquin noted. Julio squinted at the nondescript containers and saw men stationed atop every fifth or sixth car. He could make out rifles slung over their shoulders, a few of them made visors with their hands and watched their Barracuda swoop past.<br/><br/>""I've never seen guards posted on a train like that before. Even when I was in eastern Turkey, where the Armenians ambushed railroads all the time, I'd never seen anything like that,"" Julio recalled. ""Whatever they're moving, they're taking no chances with it.""<br/><br/>As they approached the mountain itself, a perimeter of of chainlink fencing passed underneath them. Flanked on either side by sentry towers were road and rail checkpoint. As the helicopter passed beyond the fenceline's barbwire wreathes, they had infiltrated La Cabeza in earnest. But looking down upon the facility, it was difficult for Julio to imagine how they would get any farther.<br/><br/>The Spanish facility was a nexus of activity. Below them on the ground, guards and vehicles were everywhere. On dead-end sections of railroads off of junctions near the base of the mesa, two other trains had been parked and were being inspected by what appeared to be yet more armed guards. These ones were composed of cars carrying large, cylindrical tanks, several of which were tethered to tanker semis by thick hoses.<br/><br/>Like a trail of ants making its way back to their hill, a convoy of tankers trundled down the beltway along the talus slopes at the foot of the mesa. Dejene followed them, flying close to the furrowed walls of the mesa. Julio watched the Barracuda's shadow ripple and undulate as it passed along the jagged rock wall. Suddenly, he found himself staring down the barrels of a massive artillery piece ensconced within a hewn alcove in the rock.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Dios mio</span>,"" a fellow Spaniard exclaimed as the rest of the party laid eyes upon it. It was a triple-barreled gun that dwarfed the Barracuda. The yawning opening of the barrels, oriented in a triangular fashion, were every bit as wide as those of the mammoth guns placed upon modern warships.<br/><br/>""What the hell is that supposed be - a minigun howitzer?!"" Joaquin exclaimed.<br/><br/>""We have grossly underestimated La Cabeza,"" Dejene admitted. ""The Tuareg are not prepared to engage fortifications of this strength.""<br/><br/>""You're not suggesting that we abandon the attack?"" Asked Graciela. ""<span class=""bb-i"">Querido</span>, we have come to far to turn away now...""<br/><br/>It was then that the helicopter came upon the airstrip. The Gargola bomber that they had nearly collided with on their approach had landed and taxied near an air traffic control tower near the foot of the mesa. Marching out of the fuselage were ranks of shackled people, all being escorted onto the tarmac by armed gunmen. A line a thousand-people in length cast long shadows against the tarmac as they were marched away from several idling airplanes to a number of flatbed trucks. Julio recognized that he and his fellow prisoners would have been among that teeming mass if Dejene and his Tuaregs had not inadvertently rescued them.<br/><br/>""No,"" Dejene answered, guiding the helicopter over the airstrip to turn about. ""We won't get an opportunity like this again. I intend to destroy this monstrous place from the inside out.""<br/><br/>""Spaniards!"" The Ethiopian spoke loud enough that he could be heard by all over the propellers. ""Those are your countrymen they have down there. I fear the worst for them! That grim fate was not yours, and neither will it be theirs. We are going to liberate them, and bring the evil men responsible for this place to justice.""<br/><br/>Julio had been roused.<br/><br/>""Dejene has the right of it."" The exiled Senator unbuckled himself from his bench and gathered himself up onto his feet. The attention of the Spaniards, Graciela included, had been captured. ""If things continue at this rate, history will remember the people of the Second Spanish Republic as the complacent race that allowed Alfonso Sotelo to destroy them."" He felt the helicopter descending, the hum of the propellers lowering in pitch as Dejene found a landing spot.<br/><br/>""For three years, I've allowed myself to be Sotelo's victim. I've been chased across this Earth, only trying to avoid his grasp and it accomplished nothing. I would be another prisoner if I had not been granted this opportunity. We are not prisoners - the Spanish are not a race of victims. Spaniards cast the Moors out of Iberia, Spain conquered the New World. We expelled Napoleon's legions, and we freed ourselves from monarchy. To cower and submit to a tyrant is uncharacteristic of our race.""<br/><br/>""I am not a fighting man - none of us are. That does not excuse us to quail now; not when fate has granted us a unique opportunity to bloody the regime that has so humiliated us. We have made it this far, gentlemen.""<br/><br/>Joaquin grinned ear to ear as he slapped his commandeered assault rifle into Julio's arms. The Senator gave a determined nod, and deftly yanked the FE-74's lever back with a satisfying clack.<br/><br/>""Let's see how much farther fate will have us go.""</div>"
22175,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-09-15 23:05:00,Vilageidiotx,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Sevan, Armenia</span><br/><br/>Sahle had sobered up enough by the afternoon to make a decision. He did not visit Aaliyah. Instead, with only enough wine to make him confident, he strolled through the hallway of a plush hotel on the downtown strip and gave two firm knocks to the door of an upper-floor room. It was all in motion now, he could not stop it. He was going to do this.<br/><br/>He had staked out this hotel over the course of weeks. He had learned her room, and memorized when she came and when she went. He knew the habits of the doorman - a short, elderly man with spectacle glasses and a crisp red blazer who always ate a small supper on the job at six and was on the toilet by seven. He knew that the maids were Russian immigrants who couldn't speak Armenian. He knew this hotel so well that the spongy carpeted floor felt like stepping into a friend's home. And, the suspicious comings and goings of most foreign residents of Sevan being what they were, nobody ever seemed to notice him beyond a cursory glance. And so here he was, after all this time, knocking on the door he had so long dreamed about. <br/><br/>It was Vladmira who answered, Oziryan's beautiful blonde-haired Finnish associate and Sahle's obsession. She wore an ankle-length red dress and house slippers. There was a blue glimmer in her eyes - a spark of intimidating intelligence, as if she was easily prepared to outsmart any man who came her way. <br/><br/>""You... you are the drummer."" she said in a Russian accent that was uncomfortably sensual, as if she was trying to attract him and not the other way around. ""The one who had the strange name. Soul-mill?""<br/><br/>""Samel."" Sahle told the lie that came so natural to him now. ""Like the animal.""<br/><br/>""Samel."" when she breathed, her chest bobbed in a way Sahle couldn't help but notice. ""And why are you visiting me here now?"" <br/><br/>It was time to be confident, and a part of the old Sahle leaked through. He leaned against the doorway and looked into her eyes. <br/><br/>""Vladmira, I want to make love to you."" Sahle blurted. And there it was. All out on the floor. <br/><br/>For a moment, time stood still, and Sahle felt his thoughts coming at him all at once. Part of him wanted it to happen of course, so that he could itch this itch and move on with his life. Another part wanted her to be offended and shut the door. That was what he expected. If that happened, she would be closing the door on his chances and he could learn to accept that this would never happen. Then when he went back to Aaliyah, all would be fine.<br/><br/>""Oh, is that what you want then."" she replied. She stared at him for a second with a look that drilled right through his skin. ""Well then, come in."" <br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcaPu9JPenU"" rel=""nofollow"">action tiem</a><br/><br/>Sahle's heart leapt into his throat, beating as quick as it had when he was a young boy and new to women. It was as if all of the pressure that had been building up since they arrived in Sevan was released at once. He eagerly followed.<br/><br/>When he was inside, Sahle did not notice the bed except for that it was big and fluffy. The floor was carpeted, and there was a window with some outdoors outside of it. He didn't care, none of that was important. He didn't know what to expect. Was this some sort of trick? A ruse to catch him as a cheater and ruin what he had with Aaliyah? But when she started undressing, it no longer mattered. The here and now was everything.<br/><br/>""You know, in Russia, life has changed in the last several years."" she said, bending down to pull her slippers off and toss them on the floor. ""There are some, they turn to the church and become stubborn people, but the rest of us? We have seen death so many times that little things like this don't seem to matter anymore.""<br/><br/>Sahle did not care for reasons. He was transfixed on her, anticipating every time she revealed more skin. He tried to undress himself clumsily, but he did not know where his hands were half of the time. His entire being was in three places - his imagination, his heart, and the other thing.<br/><br/>She unbuttoned the back of her dress slowly, revealing the strap of her bra and a freckled pale back. Sahle had his shirt of, and he was struggling with his belt. <br/><br/>""I wonder, did you not have a wife?""<br/><br/>""No"" Sahle choked. His mouth was dry.<br/><br/>""That one girl with the mask, is she not your wife?"" she said as she let her dress slide to the floor. Her underwear was all the same sheer egg-white. Sahle inspected her form obsessively. The curve of her hips, the slim form of her naked belly, and the freckled skin of her cleavage competed for his attention.<br/><br/>""We are good friends, but I am not married."" he said. He wanted to rush at her now, but she was playing coy with him. Any time he tried to move toward her, she stepped back - not quickly and off putting, but slowly in a teasing way.<br/><br/>""Then I do not feel guilty."" she smirked. She was unhooking her bra now, and Sahle's pants were starting to become unbuttoned from the inside. He watched, mouth hanging open, and she revealed herself, and she was everything he had wanted her to be. There was a slight sag to her breasts which made them all the more pleasing. Her freckles ended where her bra had began, so that her bosom was as white as the snows in Russia. He wiggled free of his pants.<br/><br/>""I think it is your turn."" she said, making no attempt to cover herself. He complied and took the last of his clothes off. The feel of the cold air-conditioned room on his naked pelvis made him feel eager to do what he had came her to do.<br/><br/>Her panties came off next, revealing a patch of dirty-blonde hair between her legs. He was ready to go. Before she had tossed her underwear to the corner of the room, he was already moving.<br/><br/>""Not quite yet."" she stopped him. ""We don't know each other yet.""<br/><br/>Sahle was confused. ""I am Samel."" <br/><br/>""Samel."" she looked down. ""Just like a camel. I know, but that is not knowing each other. Be patient, let us play a game. I want to know who my new friend is."" she said. He watched her perfect butt sway perfectly when she turned around, but was confused when she pulled out a chess board.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>It was torture. They were laying in her bed, both completely naked, but they were playing chess. Sahle didn't even like chess under normal circumstances - it was the type of game his brother loved, more about proving how smart you were than about having fun. He felt ridiculous, and horny, and that was not a pleasant combination of feelings.<br/><br/>But she seemed to be enjoying herself, as if this was normal for her. Was this how she got off? Did she like beating her partners in games by using their distraction to win before finally taking them to bed? How was this going to effect things when they finally did get down to it?<br/><br/>""Your moves are very strange."" she teased. ""I do not know if there is a strategy. Is that your strategy, to be chaotic?"" Sahle looked at her - that was his favorite thing to do, though it caused an agony in him now. She was laying on her side, with one leg bent out in front of her in a way that covered her bush and brought attention to her butt, while her chess-playing arm hung over her breasts and obscured them. That did not help - actually, this pose made her even more attractive somehow. <br/><br/>""I am bad at this game."" Sahle replied. ""But I am good at the game I came here for.""<br/><br/>""Tsk tsk tsk."" she tsked. ""Be patient."" She moved a piece. He did not pay attention to which.<br/><br/>""Chess is the game of Tsars."" she said, watching as he fumbled a move. He tried to move his knight in the direction he vaguely remembered them to go, but his arousal made him so clumsy that he knocked over another piece. When he moved to fix it, he bumped a second piece.<br/><br/>""That isn't the game."" she giggled, helping him straighten it out. He chuckled, and for a fleeting second he forgot that they were naked. When he caught a quick glimpse of her nipple, he remembered again.<br/><br/>""I am not a Tsar."" Sahle smiled.<br/><br/>Vladmira looked into his eyes thoughtfully. ""I can see that.""<br/><br/>""This is enough chess, don't you think?"" Sahle pleaded. ""I mean, I can't even play properly.""<br/><br/>""No no, I like this."" Vladmira grinned impishly. ""We just need conversation to distract you from your... needs. We are here to learn about each other, aren't we?""<br/><br/>""In a different way."" Sahle sighed.<br/><br/>""I like my way."" she persisted. ""Tell me, where are you from?""<br/><br/>""Africa."" he said.<br/><br/>""An entire continent? That is a big house to have?""<br/><br/>""You wouldn't know my house.""<br/><br/>""Maybe not, but be more specific than 'Africa'."" she made a move. When she looked away from him, he followed the soft curve of her body with his eyes. He wanted to reach out and start something, but she seemed too serious. It was then that Sahle realized something about himself. When he had been a prince, or even Emperor, he wouldn't have thought twice about tossing the chess board off the bed and starting things right there, but time had changed him. He was afraid of losing this, but what was this exactly? <br/><br/>""I am from Ethiopia, the same as my partners."" Sahle told her. He made an awkward move, but he did not know what piece he had picked up, or where he had moved it.<br/><br/>""Oh. Their war must be effecting you then. Do you still have family down there?""<br/><br/>""Yes."" he answered. He figured it was best to tell the truth up until a point. It would make it easier to form answers.<br/><br/>""I feel for you, Samel. I lost my family to war."" she moved a piece. ""Did Vasily ever tell you how I came into this business?""<br/><br/>""Business?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""I am here to negotiate support for my comrades in Volgograd. We are rebels, you see."" she giggled, and the way she squirmed caused Sahle to go hard again. ""Everyone is Volgograd is a rebel, but that is not the matter.""<br/><br/>""I feel like I know you already."" Sahle said, faking confidence this time. It did not work. <br/><br/>""I and my family were comrades of the great Viktor Laine and Juhani Mikael. Great, grand Finnish patriots."" when she said this, she motioned with he hands for emphasis, and Sahle got the full view again. ""Their families and mine all died in the war, but I went with them and we assassinated the Tsar's daughter. And then we assassinated the Tsar?""<br/><br/>""Wait, <span class=""bb-i"">you</span> assassinated the Tsar?"" he was surprised. <br/><br/>""No no, that was Viktor. I was his spotter."" she said. ""But that is me, now about you. Who is Samel?""<br/><br/>""I am a musician."" he said slowly, still stunned that the woman he lusted for was an assassin. ""That is all I have to say.""<br/><br/>""One word and that is all?"" she pouted. ""Come now, you want me more than that. What about that scar below your belly button, right there."" she poked.<br/><br/>""That was a surgery, just... I had an appendix out.""<br/><br/>""Oh."" she said. Her mood seemed to shift suddenly, though he could not detect why, or even how exactly. ""Do you want to do a few lines before you go?""<br/><br/>""Go? But...""<br/><br/>""We will know each other soon enough, Samel. But today I have work to do. It is nearly showtime too, now I think of it. Don't you have drums to bang?""<br/><br/>""I have...""<br/><br/>""Don't say it."" she smiled. ""I was setting you up. I know you were going to say 'me'."" When she climbed out of bed, Sahle stared at her ass. That was all he could focus on as she pulled a small snuff-box and poured a tiny line of fine white powder. Every move she made caused Sahle to ache. ""You said that we were going to...""<br/><br/>""Do not fret."" she cut him off, sniffing a line of white powder. ""We will, just not today. Perhaps we can make this into a daily thing?""<br/><br/>""Playing chess?"" Sahle stood up. He wanted to go for her now, to change her mind in other ways, but something was stopping him. He stood there naked and dejected as she slipped into a new dress. <br/><br/>""Oh, maybe for another day. But when we were done with that."" she walked toward him and gave his balls a slight squeeze. ""We will do more things. I like you men of Africa, and you are the first one to have the testicles to walk right up to my door and knock, so you can be my African until I leave.""<br/><br/>With that, she finished dressing and left him alone in her apartment. He felt used. Used, and horny. Before he left, he went to the bathroom and finished himself in her toilet, but there was no joy in it. In fact, he was fucking angry. He did not flush, and when he was done, her stole her cocaine and left. If he couldn't have what he wanted then tonight, he was going to party.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>It was July 17th; Independence Day in Armenia, celebrating the third year anniversary of the day when Hasmik Assanian officially declared Armenia an Independent country. In the morning, people had assembled near Sevan island to watch the on-going war games being practiced there. In the afternoon, the holiday had been children dancing in colorful ethnic dresses while families ate lavash with harissa and young veterans traded war stories. At night, however, the celebrations were different. Sahle knew that sweaty old men would be fucking their saggy old wives in cloistered bedrooms all across the city, while the young partied in the streets. There were fresh posters on the walls warning people to '<span class=""bb-i"">Save your Ammunition for the Turk.</span>', but they would not listen. When the sun set, men drank and fired their weapons into the air while fireworks bloomed above the lake in explosions of gold, blue, and red. It was in this environment that Sahle found Marc and showed him the kidnapped cocaine.<br/><br/>Who was Marc? Sahle had been his friend for several years now, and he still didn't really know. He was the cornet player in their strange little band. It had been him and Yared who found Sahle in the desert when he was still Sahle; an identity they still were not aware of. To them, he was Samel. But still, who was Marc? Sahle did not know his last name. He was younger than Sahle, but not by much. He would have been of age to fight in the Civil War that brought Yaqob to power; so would Yared, but neither ever told war stories to suggest that they might have actually fought. As far as Sahle knew, Marc and Yared had drifted out of Ethiopia in a wandering stupor, unconnected to any real past. What ever they had been, it didn't seem to matter anymore than Sahle's identity. <br/><br/>There were a few things Sahle could say about Marc, or at least one overriding trait that seemed to dominate his personality. Marc was an addict in his very image. He had a drawn look about him anymore, and his nose was always runny, which caused the skin on his upper lip to be permanently red and raw. There was a constant sleepy look about him as well. And he always, no matter where he was, managed to get the drugs he wanted. It was the only coherent thing he could do besides play the cornet. <br/><br/>The two friends snorted their lines off the hood of a truck at the only car rental shop still open on the holiday, and when they were done they decided to go and rent a car. It seemed like a good idea. They could get some air and see the city much easier that way. It was true that they had little money, but one of the luxuries of Sevan was its cheap car rental. All the city had on offer were the cheap and ugly open-top Polish tub cars, but that was all they needed. So long as it moved, held them, and gave them a place to put their stolen cocaine, it was fine. They drove away in a screeching blur, and then they were on the streets.<br/><br/>""Armenia!"" Sahle yelled, echoing the patriotic hollering of the people filling the streets. ""Armana!"" Marc slurred in reply. Marc was the better driver, and so it was him behind the wheel. He always seemed capable of driving even if he wasn't capable of forming words. ""Fuckit... this is the wa... we spose'd to live!"" <br/><br/>A young man - no older than thirty, in Sahle's estimation, fired an assault rifle haphazardly in the air. The bullets rained on the marquis of a nearby theater and put out its lights. A women screamed and fled from the rain of broken lightbulb that followed, but nobody else in the zombie-like crowd seemed to be paying attention. It was a moving party. Sahle smelled the pungent stench of reefer, and the scent of alcohol was everywhere. Not to mention the vile odor of the people themselves. <br/><br/>Two kids dodged out of an alley and ran across the street. Marc hit the brakes suddenly. The kids were chasing each other with firework sticks that shot colorful sparks, and they did not seem to mind the traffic at all. <br/><br/>""Brotha, we need those..."" Marc struggled to express himself. He let both hands of the wheel and gestured manically. ""Things!""<br/><br/>""No."" Sahle was giggling for no reason. ""No! They have to be saved for the Turk!"" <br/><br/>Both Sahle and Marc giggled now. They weren't waiting for anybody now. They were just stopped in the middle of the road, laughing. It was only when a beer bottle burst against their car that they knew it was time to move.<br/><br/>""Pull into here!"" Sahle pointed to a strip club. There was a peeling picture of an old Turkish celebrity painted on the it's front wall. Sahle suspected she had not given them permission to use her image. Just one more way to humiliate the dastardly Turk. ""I want to go there! Pull over!"" <br/><br/>""Ah..."" Marc slurred. ""Whad is there to see there?""<br/><br/>""What is there to see?"" Sahle punched Marc in the shoulder. ""What is there to see? What are you, man?""<br/><br/>""Awright."" Marc parked on the sidewalk. ""All right. We do th' thing then."" They both did a line, and then they went inside to see what there was to see.<br/><br/>Sahle remembered how Barnham had been the only person powerful enough to circumvent Islamic law in Cairo, which meant his club had been the only one with nudity. Though there was an mystical orthodox morality in this country, the Armenians weren't as squeamish as the Muslims. And in Sevan, they did not fuck around. There were sixteen fully-nude girl clubs in this little resort city, each one operating to please a nation of revolution-hardened veterans. When Sahle and Marc entered this place, they were greeted by all the painted sluts in garish high heels they could ever want. One woman was holding a tray of bite sized honey-cakes right up to her perky chest, and Sahle couldn't help but take one just so he could cop a feel in the process.<br/><br/>The lighting in this place was dark enough that it was hard to make out the faces of anybody who wasn't a few feet in front of you. The exception were the few scattered dancing stages, where girls gyrated under spotlights.  <br/><br/>""Brother."" Marc said giddily. He wasn't so much giddy about the women as he was just... generally giddy. The cocaine had him. ""Those smells!"" he took a big, snotty whiff. All Sahle could smell was alcohol, vomit, and tit sweat. What Marc was talking about was something only Marc could possibly know. <br/><br/>Sahle was looking for any stripper that might look vaguely like Vladmira. He didn't know why, but he didn't care why. It was what he had decided to do, and he was doing it.<br/><br/>There were some Russians here - women that had fled the violence of that collapsed country for the new Armenian nation-state. When he saw a woman he liked the look of, he would stop. They were doing wiggling dances with colorful ribbons of cloth, and all to the same live-band jazz tune. The music was slow and seductive.<br/><br/>""What are you here for?"" he heard a girlish voice rise over the cacophony. He looked down to see a short brown-haired dancer staring up at him with beautiful doe eyes. ""I know a place we can be alone.""<br/><br/>""Oh yes?"" Sahle wrapped his arm around her. ""And what do you do?""<br/><br/>""I'll tell you."" she said, rubbing against him as they walked. ""But you will have to give me something.""<br/><br/>""I have top-notch snow!"" Sahle shouted as low as he could shout, pulling a small bag of white powder and shaking it in front of her. ""It's from South America!"" <br/><br/>""Where? All of that stuff is from South America."" she giggled.<br/><br/>""No!"" he was struggling to shout over the music and the sound of the crowd. ""You don't understand! It is from Sotelo's personal farm!"" He didn't know if that was true, but Oziryan claimed to have access to Sotelo's supply, and Vladmira was Oziryan's guest.<br/><br/>""Who?"" <br/><br/>""Sot... never mind! It is really good snow though!""<br/><br/>She shrugged and seemed to accept that. Sahle felt vindicated. Vladmira had sent him away with blue balls, so he bought himself a hooker with her supply. They pushed through the crowd; mostly veterans with minds fried by war and booze, and elderly wealthy post-war opportunists visiting from Yerevan for the holiday. It was a remarkably small room, Sahle realized. Perhaps no larger than a Chinese soup shop in the run-down part of town. There were mirrors on the walls that made everything looks slightly bigger...<br/><br/>...That was where he saw her. It wasn't Vladmira of course, but a dancer that looked exactly like her. ""I am sorry!"" he shouted hurriedly at the doe-eyed girl. ""I have somewhere to be!"" He left her before she could respond and slipped into the crowd.<br/><br/>The look-alike was always ahead of him, moving between the press like a shy animal sliding through the forest. She was perfect - exactly what he had came here for. When he saw a door open and shut, he went for it. The door opened, cool summer air washed over him, and...<br/><br/>And suddenly he was standing outside. A stubby man in uniform had a black-haired woman pinned behind the dumpster, and he looked like he was getting his money's worth. Neither of them seemed to notice Sahle. Besides those two, there was no sign of the look alike.<br/><br/>The door opened again and Marc poured out. <br/><br/>""Good thing."" Marc slurred. ""I did'n like the smell.""<br/><br/>""Fuck it all."" Sahle grumbled. ""Let's go back to the car.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>After the encounter in the strip club, the night seemed a little darker for Sahle. Perhaps that was because it had, in fact, became darker. The air was filled with a gunpowder smog now, concealing the stars and turning the moon a dull shade of red. There were fewer people in the streets now than there had been before, but it was by no means quiet. <br/><br/>Still, Sahle wanted another distraction. He had done his share of cocaine, and he didn't have the strength to do anymore for now. For Marc, that was not the case. The addict that he was, he snuffed a new line any time he felt his high slowing down.<br/><br/>There was a man asleep in the road, using an old rifle as a pillow. They drove around him cautiously as Sahle watched him snore. Nobody else in the street seemed to care. What was that man's story, Sahle wondered? Why was he so stupid to sleep in the road with a gun?<br/><br/>""It is a mad house!"" Sahle exclaimed. ""No control!""<br/><br/>""It's like..."" Marc struggled to form an idea. He moved his arms like a sloth conducting an orchestra. ""Like the children are loose!""  <br/><br/>""Go the fuck to bed!"" Sahle yelled out toward the crowd, and then he began to laugh hysterically. ""Bed."" he managed to squeak again between giggles.<br/><br/>""Fuck you!"" an Armenian yelled from the sidewalk. ""I fuck... I do the fuck ever I do!"" <br/><br/>""It is a mad house!"" Sahle repeated himself. ""We need women. Man, I need... I need a woman.""<br/><br/>Marc did not have time to respond, because something else entirely drew their attention.<br/><br/>""Want to buy a cow!"" an old man was shouting from the sidewalk. Surely enough, there he was; a hill person climbed down from his hills with a skinny brown cow tied on a rope. The man was scruffy and middle aged, and he was dressed like some sort of medieval peasant. Still, he didn't seem put off by the city at all. Was this his gig? Did he sell cattle in the streets any time the entire city was drunk?<br/><br/>""Why are you selling a cow!"" Sahle shouted. ""Why now? It is a mad house!"" <br/><br/>""I've been trying to sell this cow for six months!"" the man shouted back. Marc pulled the car over to the curb.<br/><br/>""Is it broken?"" Marc inquired hazily.<br/><br/>""It is just old."" the man replied. ""Nobody wants it, but I don't want it either.""<br/><br/>""We don't have much money."" <br/><br/>""Give me ten and I will be fine.""<br/><br/>""For a cow?"" Sahle exclaimed. ""That seems cheap. But fuck it."" he dug through his pockets and found enough change to add up to the amount.<br/><br/>""Where are you going to put it?"" the man asked.<br/><br/>""Let's put it in the back."" <br/><br/>And so they did. With a little help from the seller, they packed the full-grown milk cow into the back seat and began to drive.<br/><br/>""We should take this cow to see..."" Sahle began. For a hazy moment, he forgot what he was going to say. ""The sights, you know? Let the cow see the lake. You know the lake road?"" <br/><br/>Marc ignored him. ""Give snow for the cow!"" Marc was shouting into the streets, and at nobody in particular. ""Give... give Feelgood for the Cow!"" Everybody in the street ignored him, but Marc continued. ""Give me something for the cow!"" <br/><br/>A drunk on the sidewalk dropped his pants around his knees and waved his discolored junk in their direction. ""Reefer!"" Marc yelled for no discernible reason. <br/><br/>""That is where we will go."" Sahle pointed to a small place with Asian lettering. ""I know that place.""<br/><br/>""The cow?"" Marc asked.<br/><br/>""It too."" Sahle jumped out of the car before it stopped. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The place Sahle had chosen was a little Chinese massage parlor not far from where Vasily's friend taught Wushu. There was a small community of Chinese immigrants in Sevan. When the Communists came to power in China, many people fled to Russia. And when Russia collapsed, they were forced to flee again. They, along with the Russians and the few remaining Turks, made up the poorest of the poor in Armenia. They ran soup shops in the cheap-rent storefronts in the Turkish Quarter, where the meat was never identifiable and the horrible smells drove most respectable customers away. And in their apartments, they had massage parlors that few people visited for massages. That was because the girls here knew that there was safety in numbers, and that there were other services that netted them more business than a back rub. <br/><br/>They went through a hallway that was only wide enough to fit one person at a time. Marc, devoid of reason, brought the cow. Sahle was met at the beaded doorway of what had once been an apartment by an older Asian woman in a red ankle length dress. The building had a strange smell, like boiled chicken marinated in cheap perfume. The women had invested in a colored lamp, and an almost sinister red light poured out of the room. Sahle put a crumpled wad of money in her hand. Before she could lead him in, she saw the cow.<br/><br/>""What is that?"" she shouted in a shrill, Asian voice.<br/><br/>""Don't mind my friend."" Sahle said. ""He is in love with that cow.""<br/><br/>""Go love the cow somewhere else!"" she shouted. ""We do not love cows in here! Do you hear me!"" <br/><br/>Sahle turned to Marc. ""Leave the cow out here, brother."" But Marc would not cow so easily.<br/><br/>""Well good then! If you are too good for the cow, you are too good for me!"" the coked up fiend yelled at the little old Chinese lady. ""I will keep her compan... companionship out here!"" <br/><br/>""You are a strange man!"" the Chinese lady shouted. ""You are a strange man!"" Sahle went inside.<br/><br/>The parlor consisted of two Apartments that had been combined by knocking out a wall. The carpet and the walls were both red, and the scent he had smelled clearly had its origin point here. There were two younger women in knee-length dresses. The older woman barked something in their language, and one of the girls stood up.<br/><br/>""She will take care of you."" the old woman said coldly. And that was it. All three women left the room, leaving Sahle to undress and lay face-down on the massage table. He made sure his pocket was within reach; he would need it later. His head was through a hole in the table, allowing him to view the blood-red shag carpet in all its detail, but it lacked any interesting detail to view. He heard the door open, and it started. <br/><br/>She began by rubbing oil on his back. Sahle heard the cow moo in the hall, and he wondered how long the madame would allow it to go on. But this girl, she did not react at all. She did not speak - she most likely wasn't good with the language, he knew. He sighed when her hands reached his buttocks. It was time. He hadn't come here just to have an oily ass, after all.<br/><br/>He reached down and pulled out another wad of money. He tried to count it as discreetly as he could, but he knew her type, and he knew that she would be too clever to not notice. All he could do was hope that the rest didn't get stolen. He handed her the amount and turned around. <br/><br/>She smiled and stuffed the money in the drawer. And then, as graceful as an antelope, she climbed on top of him. <br/><br/>As she guided him into her, he was surprised that she didn't wear anything under her skirt, but suddenly it did not matter. Right then, all of his worries melted away at once. This is all he had needed, the simplicity of this thing. It was what the Finnish woman had promised him, and then cruelly took away. His head swam. Fuck cocaine, this was all he needed tonight.<br/><br/>In the thrill of the moment, he reached up her shirt and cupped a tit that was too small to grasp. He realized for a short moment that his second hand had been on his pants crumpled up on the floor beneath him. He let go of his pocket and reached for another tit. The girl gasped a squeal of - surprise, delight, professional courtesy? Fuck it. He didn't care. He heard himself grunting from the strain.<br/><br/>It went on - longer than he expected, which he didn't mind - and when he finished, the girl dismounted him and struck a small gong on the table. Sahle smiled, got up, and got dressed. He was satisfied. He heard the cow moo in the hallway.<br/><br/>When they left the Parlor, they found that the streets were mostly dead now. It was late into the night. <br/><br/>""Did you have fun, brother?"" Marc crooned. They loaded the cow into the back of the Polish rental car.<br/><br/>""That was what I needed. Though I am almost broke."" He reached into his pocket and was delighted to find that they hadn't stolen from him.<br/><br/>""How about this."" he said, waving a wad of cash. ""I thought the other girl would crawl in and take it or something.""<br/><br/>""They were watchin' me."" Marc grinned. ""And'th cow."" They climbed into the car and drove,<br/><br/>With the streets mostly clear of people, they drove through the quiet city with relative ease. The city was littered with broken bottles and random debris. In some places, it looked almost as if Sevan had been looted by a marauding band of beer-swilling barbarians. Sahle watched the city go by in silence.<br/><br/>Soon, they were in the countryside. Marc was driving with one hand and snuffing fingernails of snow with the other. His pupils were dilated now, and he was beginning to go quiet. Without Marc's babble to distract him, Sahle watched the countryside go by. He was too aware of the cow awkwardly balanced in the back seat, and he kept one hand perched behind him on the side of the car, as if he could influence the momentum of a one ton beast of living beef with a single arm. <br/><br/>The fireworks and wasting of ammunition was done now, but the haze remained. It masked the moon in a grey-red fog, and left a moody glow on Lake Sevan. All around them were the shadows of naked hills, rising into the mountainous highlands of Armenia. It was a beautiful place. This looked like the landscape that vampires might prowl; windswept, ruinous, and veiled in all the colors of dying fire. But despite all of that, it did not look sinister. This was a primeval road they were speeding down, and as the cool midnight wind rushed over Sahle, he had time to reflect. He thought about his fading past, and the future he planned to live with Aaliyah. He thought about his mother, and how her death had sent his past-self spiraling like a Spanish missile into his new life. He wondered how much of that had ignited his simmering attraction to the Russian woman. Perhaps he had just fallen off the wagon.<br/><br/>They passed Sevan island. The cow stamped a hoof into the metal in an awkward attempt to keep its balance. Sahle reached back and patted it on the shoulder. ""Be calm, friend."" he said softly, but by the sound of the wind rushing past his ears he knew that nobody could hear him. He watched the tree-covered rock that was Sevan Island pass by. From here, the road paralleled a lake, which was separated from them by nothing but a steep decline.<br/><br/>""You should slow down, brother."" Sahle patted Marc on the back. Marc looked wide awake - so conscious that he paradoxically looked like a statue. His eyes looked unhealthy, and he was sweating so bad that large droplets streamed down his face. Sahle was beginning to worry.<br/><br/>""Brother."" he patted him on the shoulder. ""The cow."" <br/><br/>Marc looked at him with wide, cold, dead eyes, and blood trickled out of his nose. ""The road."" he said in a ghastly voice. That was all he managed to say.<br/><br/>Sahle jumped for the steering wheel and grabbed it. Marc did not seem to react, and Sahle only barely had time to notice that his friend had passed out. It was like he had suddenly been possessed by a ghost, and the moody atmosphere of the highlands transformed to evil in a heartbeat.<br/><br/>Sahle brought the car flying into a ditch on the left side of the road. The last thing he felt before going unconscious was joy that he prevented the car from careening to the right, and into the lake. <br/><br/></div>"
22176,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-09-19 04:36:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Volga River</div><br/><br/>The water lapped against the bow of the small boat as it rocked through the water. Gray-brown water trickled slowly down the winding and snaking course of the mighty Volga. In the early morning light it glistened with a subdued orange and red glow as the sun narrowly peaked out over the hilly banks. The silent guardian pines stood a cold vigil in the rising morning light as it began to wake the birds and animals along the shores.<br/><br/>The engine of the boat died with a sputter and Jun turned back from leaning on the flaking, tarnished rails that formed the barrier between a dry deck and the cold waters underneath. The boat wasn't large, nor was it small. As he was affirmed it was a small ferry boat for the river. The wood of its deck was – despite conditions in the Russian state – given great care and a fresh coat of varnish glowed in the morning sun-light. And although patchy fresh patches of white paint decorated the hull of the boat and enclosed gondola.<br/><br/>Walking up from below deck an elderly, overweight Russian man came into the light. Tired bags hung under his blue eyes. His head had long mostly gone bald, and all that remained were long silvery wisps of hair that had long lost any color. He looked up at Jun with a long overdrawn look and remarked, “I had to kill the engine, save some fuel.” he pointed out. He wrapped a rag around and rubbed it between greasy fingers as he fidgeted, “The current will keep us on its course.<br/><br/>He turned from him and went to walk deeper into the cabin, but hesitated for a moment and turned back around, “I'll be preparing tea in the cabin. I'd invite you to join me, but I don't know.” he was clearly nervous. He looked up and down Jun with a smile that was as tense as it was polite. It didn't help that the return Jun offered was as cold as it was distant. The ferryman must have felt the cold Siberian wind in Jun's silent response and he nodded defeated.<br/><br/>“I'll hold you to it.” Jun called back as the ferryman turned, “I'll be in in a minute.”<br/><br/>“Oh, ah, yes...” the ferryman stuttered, “I'll be there.” he said anxiously.<br/><br/>The man's footfalls died with the shuttering clasp of the rickety screen door that was the cabin door. Folding his arms on the railing, Jun leaned out over the water and watched the river-front slowly crawl passed.<br/><br/>In truth, they were moving at a pace slower than a crawl. The trickling licks of the water at the bow had died to a whispering sigh, and then to silence as the craft coasted down to the river's own speed.<br/><br/>As the boat coasted along Jun watched as along the shores the creatures of the wood awoke and came to the water's edge. Where herons with steel-blue feathers stalked the shallows for fish so did red deer come to drink at the water's edge. But there was a tensity as the silently drifting boat drew close to the water's edge, the wild residents gave a tense pause to look up at the slowly drifting interlopers as they were pushed along by the bubbling water.<br/><br/>Jun beat his hands on the railing and stepped back. Then was about a good time for tea. Taking his leave for the cabin, he left the wilderness behind him.<br/><br/>They had been on the water for several days. Though in reality the time spent traveling was more equal to a day. For fuel Jun's ferryman was forced to stop over at Cristopol for fuel supplies. As Jun had left Perm, Shu had flipped another late-moment gift; a bundle of saved ruble and an advice on which ferryman to take, the one that wanted an excuse to leave.<br/><br/>He was Basil Subyan. A man who lost his family, and had only his boat left. The door to the cabin groaned on its old hinges as the Chinese agent stepped into the hazy hall.<br/><br/>Along the wall next to hazy, faded windows rows of small dining booths sat in orderly rows. Basil sat at the bar on the far side, holding to his brow a metal cup. In the yellow morning sun that cut through the dust tongues of whipping steam curled up into the air as the tin cup was clasped to his head.<br/><br/>Basil looked to the side at the sound of the opening door. “I was beginning to wonder.” he said in a low voice, “Tea's nice and hot. I got a little bit of jelly left. Otherwise you will need to make due with honey. I don't know how you Chinamen like it out east.”<br/><br/>Jun sat in the stool alongside Basil, reaching out for a nearby tin cup he humored Basil with no answer or response, and stead lowered the cup to the bubbling pot that stood between them on the bar.<br/><br/>The pot itself was something that had seen better days. Tall like a hookah but metal, its nickle surface tarnished, the gleam of its metal had subsided to a subdued matte finish. From its top puffs of condensed steam jumped out from ill-sealed cracks as inside water boiled. There was a faint smell of smoldering leaves or bark from it.<br/><br/>Pulling the pot that crowned the top Jun poured out the yellow-green liquid inside out into his tin cup. The water rushed out with a relieved sigh and splashed against the bottom of the tin. As it came close to the brim, Jun raised the pot and put it back on its burner.<br/><br/>He rose it to his lips and took a sip of the fresh hot tea, cringing at the bitterness. Basil laughed at Jun's shocked expression. “It's different, isn't it?” he smirked, “Tea's harder to come by in Russia now the czar's gone and the business types left the nation. But the tea fields in Sochi are back to production again I hear, and I can finally have a warm drink to have jam with.”<br/><br/>“Tea in Russia?” Jun croaked between sips of the hot, bitter drink.<br/><br/>Basil nodded, “It was a thing that was happening when my father was a boy!” he exclaimed nostalgically, “Some grower type bringing it to Sochi. We had been getting our tea from Britain through Ukraine before, and China over rail. But that way I've heard it put, it was a big deal when the tea was growing in Sochi. Georgian tea was always shit to begin with.”<br/><br/>“I wouldn't have thought.”<br/><br/>“Aye. And pray you don't ever drink tea from Georgia, they always fuck it up somehow. Russian tea isn't perfect, but it does it fine.”<br/><br/>“How do you get it?” Jun asked.<br/><br/>“Another ferryman comes up north along the river with crates full of it!” Basil beamed, “What was his name, I knew him for a time. Ah- Gregor I think.<br/><br/>“You see, some Cossacks out of Ukraine came in and took over Sochi from the Turks and Muslims that ran the city after the fucking Ottomans pulled out. I don't know how they're working the fields or what's going on, but they got the tea flowing again and that's what that counts. But prices can vary, depending on where you are on the river.<br/><br/>“Where we're going I hear the tea is cheaper.”<br/><br/>Jun nodded. He didn't hardly understand the economic concepts being proposed. But played along. “When was the last time you were in Volgograd?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Volgograd?” Basil chuckled, “Volgograd for me was... forever ago. I only ever used to take people as far as Chaykovsky along the Kama. I can't remember when I was ever in Volgograd, maybe when I was a kid.<br/><br/>“That was an eon ago...” he trailed wistfully, “Forever. I can't believe it.” his tone dropped and turned sadder, “And I outlasted a wife and family. What the hell happened, Chinaman? What happened?<br/><br/>“I can't keep going in Perm, that much is true. So thanks for the opportunity to get me to leave.”<br/><br/>Jun sipped his cup of tea. “It's nothing.” he remarked plainly.<br/><br/>The Russian groaned and put his drink on the counter. Holding his face in his hands he starred down at the lethargically bobbing liquid at the bottom of his cup as his boat meandered slowly with the current of the river. “Why are you even here?” he asked in a low tone of voice.<br/><br/>Jun didn't beguile him with an answer. Instead he looked at the man through narrowed eyes as he took a sip. The Russian rose his heavy stare to him, “I used to hear of many who came from your land, but the czar was alive then. Now he's dead and no one comes trying to break out of your country. What brings a man such as you here?” he looked down at his black coat. Jun's instinct told him he was eyeing the patches that choked the muffed, old leather, “You're not a normal man on the run.”<br/><br/>Jun held his silence, sliding the cup onto the counter and wrapping his arms on the scratched unpolished wood.<br/><br/>“I'll respect your silence.” sighed the ferryman in defeat, “And your buisiness.”<br/><br/>Jun maintained his secrets. But to that the man figured he was grateful for such and the two continued to drink their tea in silence.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Sankt Petersburg, Communes of Novogord-Sankt Petersburg</div><br/><br/>The halls of the former imperial palace hung in a dim light filtering through the tall windows that marched solemnly along the walls of the former residence of the czar. In the gray light filtered by the ominous, ever-hanging clouds of Sankt Petersburg the light fell in long casting bars against the bare walls of former imperial decadence. Many of the artifacts and trinkets the imperial family had kept once upon a time had been chucked, decried as material vulgarity. In their places red banners hung in the interior. And in the place of former royal guards, olive-drab militia patrolled a silent vigil through the palatial halls, now the seat of communist reign.<br/><br/>It did not strike the Chinese admiral, as he stood waiting outside a pair of tall mahogany doors as ironic. It was repurposement. And he had seen a lot of need for that in the communes. Standing of shaky grounds the regime was not ready or willing to allocate resources to constructing great monuments to power and pride as China back home. And so what stood in the Russia and Estonia of Radek was without doubt the same structures that stood always, and will always stand.<br/><br/>He gazed out the windows to Sankt Petersburg proper. He stood overlooking the grand square outside the palace. There, men drilled with rifles in the gray afternoon sun. And men on horses conducted training maneuvers in view of the public life. Shao had come to recognize such activity here on his visits so much that he forgot if this was to help show a force of order in the communes for not being able to push Radek's unity, or was for the bemusement of young women who saw lovers among the ranks or young husbands. Or to the joys of children who lusted for a warrior's life.<br/><br/>He smiled at the thought, and pulled out from under his arm his blue-gray cap, fitting it atop his head by his reflection in the window. From his shoulders dropped the steel-blue and heavy coat of his rank, wrapped with the golden rope of a higher officer and all the metals and insignias. Shen Shao, commander of the NPS Bohai and the spear that plunged deep into the heart of the Spanish armada. He had been praised after the fact as the man to end the Spanish intervention in Finland, and for that he found himself trapped into the cold north.<br/><br/>Shao was an officer with a notable, pronounced chin and toned jaw-line. Though under neath the stubble that had grown on his chin over his time of deployment it was hardly noticeable, if even something that could be noted by any other man. He scowled annoyed as he brushed white-gloved fingers through the scrub-brush hairs growing curled from his face. He was owed a trim with scissors, but hardly had much of the time nor the appropriate pair. Someone was always using them to cut a man bald among the detachment or the village of their station in the north to fight headlice.<br/><br/>And it was perhaps most needed now before he met with the godly priest who had defected from so much and now had come to rule a quasi-nation on the far-side of Russia.<br/><br/>He put the thought of cleanliness aside and instead dashed his hand across his scalp to push in the oily black hair atop his head deeper under his hat before pulling the cap down tight to his ears. Clicking his heels together as he assumed an attentive pose he gave himself a dignified salute and turned from the cloudy day outside.<br/><br/>The sounds of the palace were muted and distant. Without the sound of proper automotive traffic or the hum of naval engines to fill his ears he was almost surprised and horrified with how silent Sankt Petersburg was. Replacing the low song of engines came the distant and muffled whispers of conversation down the hall, behind the door, and even someone walking across the floor overhead. Even the slow ticking of an antique clock ticked away somewhere in a nearby room. There was ghostly silence to it all, none like that of a library.<br/><br/>Listening to it and trying to fixate on one sounded like listening for ghosts. The sounds and suggestions of movements fleeting and hard to pinpoint. Shao felt the shivers hold his spine as he thought about this palace, and what had happened. According to his sources Radek's men had taken the building without firing a shot or spilling blood, many of the staff and inhabitants having fled before hand. But there was other things that happened here. The old palace was much too big for just a politburo and the office of their executive leader. There was the military headquarters too for the Sankt Petersburg defense force, and their operations and interrogations. He had heard rumors of suspected dissidents being hauled out in bags, but nothing his own intelligence could verify for sure. But for the tales that reached him it wasn't plain deaths, as expected in war; but other means.<br/><br/>He wondered if Radek knew about it, as he stood waiting for his audience.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” a deep Russian voice said from down the hall. Shao turned, standing in the half-opened doorway a simply dressed officer held open the door to the audience he was summoned to, “Comrade Radek is ready to speak with you now.”<br/><br/>“Thank you,” Shao bowed, “lead the way.” he politely requested as he followed the officer through the door.<br/><br/>Stepping through he entered into a large room. The curtains drawn across the windows filtered much of the gray afternoon light. But the lazk of its hazy glow was supplemented by the warm orange light of candles that burned across every surface. Including the long table at its center, several small plates were laid out on it, with breads, meats, and vegetables. At its head sat Radek, reclined to the side in the furthest seat.<br/><br/>“Good afternoon, brother.” greeted Radek, his low voice boomed in the open chamber. He rose from his seat to hail the officer, “I hope you haven't ate much before arriving.” he shouted playfully.<br/><br/>“I haven't, and I was beginning to think I might have to find food before heading back to base.” Shao grinned as he made his way to the table.<br/><br/>Radek was by no means a small man. He in fact held an imposing posture that came ever the more clear as Shao drew close. “Please, right here comrade.” the old priest invited as he gestured to a seat at the corner, next to him. Shao took it.<br/><br/>As the men both sat down the light of the candles shone in the faded blue eyes of the communist ruler in the west. A heavy beard and thick mustache grew from his face and shrouded his mouth behind a thick layer of ghastly white hair, but Shao had no doubt the man was smiling wide and polite under all that hair. And with his broad face the Russian leader commanded a rather Rasputin aura to him.<br/><br/>“I heard the news.” Radek began in his low gravely voice. He delicately reached out in front of him for a roll of bread for the pile on a pewter plate in front of either man, “And I was wondering if you knew?”<br/><br/>“Was I invited to lunch to discuss the news from Shanghai?” Shao joked. The strange juxtipositions on display in the man's dress caught his attention as he received his almost courtly attention. Although simple and stripped barren of the rich decorations of the proper Orthodox persuasion, Radek still wore his priestly robes. Although in place of the overt and opulently loud displays of faith he had replaced much of it with communist iconography and images hearkening back to Lenin's own failed revolution. Even on his head in absence of a priestly cap he wore a mottled green ushanka emblazoned with a red star that glowed in fiery colors from the candle light.<br/><br/>“If it were only so simple,” Radek laughed, “but I don't believe in breaking bread with starving allies. So have something, and we shall discuss commitments.”<br/><br/>“Commitments?” asked Shao as he obligated the old man's wish, and served himself a roll of bread, “Don't you have agent Tang to discuss those with?”<br/><br/>“Agent Tang is currently occupied coordinating training with the defense forces for the communes.” Radek rebuked, “He can't strongly receive what I have to say. Nor does he have the assets himself.”<br/><br/>“Assets, what assets are we talking about?” a curiously bitten Shao asked, as he pushed his thumb into the warm role, breaking it apart.<br/><br/>“You command a fleet, comrade.” Radek reminded.<br/><br/>“I command a couple ships and a half dozen submarines.” Shao corrected him, “They're more than enough to control any unwarranted fishing and lock the northern sea down in summer. But it's hardly a fleet.”<br/><br/>“My point still stands.” Radek grunted, his tone of voice cold as he bit into the bread. Drinking from a glass of water he continued: “You command these things, and I can likely double it.<br/><br/>“I can't immediately make my obligations to the war effort on Spain as Shanghai has now decided. I simply don't have the resources. And for what we do have I must give it unto the people and feed and warm them. You, the Chinese, have been gracious in keeping the support of much of want my people want and need so I can concentrate on other domestic problems to keep the flock full and happy. But none of that has gone into fueling any whimsical dreams of military expansion, as much as the commanders demand we ration so we can embark on our war for reunification, much like Nikolov.<br/><br/>“But it is not fighting the Republic directly that frees my people; as much as they would like it to be. Do you understand.”<br/><br/>“I do,” Shao said, biting into his half a roll, “But I have to admit I don't see where it's going.”<br/><br/>“You're the most westerly Chinese station.” Radek told him, “And now the International expects China to act. Whether or not their deceleration has reached Spain. But it has come to us first, we both know.<br/><br/>“Your strategic position clearly in mind, it's only reasonable to guess that you will get the orders to move on Spain. I don't know to what capacity, but I got a request for you when you do.”<br/><br/>“We're going right to the point and I hardly started on the main course.”<br/><br/>“Please start that when you can by the way, it's stroganoff. Our cook here would be happy for a foreign tongue to try his food and say nice things, although it's up to you what you think.”<br/><br/>“I'll have to.” Shao mumbled, looking at the plate of cubed, golden brown saucy pieces of beef. “But, you were saying.”<br/><br/>“Well yes, when you inevitably get sent to Spain.” continued Radek between bites at the remaining roll in his hand, “We could use you to bring back extra resources.”<br/><br/>“You want us to commit piracy?” Shao catechized, shocked.<br/><br/>“It is war.” Radek reminded, “But the Spanish possess a great deal of fuel resources. If any of that goes by sea then I – and the commanders – want it. We can use it to reignite the navy here.<br/><br/>“Comrade, I sit on the bulk of the former Imperial Navy, it's been stationed in the docks of Sankt Petersburg here for nearly a decade, unable to move because the engines have never been fired. Not since the czar died and the Navy found itself lost and disbanded among the chaos.<br/><br/>“Now, some ships have gone missing during that initial event. But as a whole we still hold the regional navy of the Imperialist regime. Without the oil to reactivate them they sit idle in the water, taking on rust and growing dusty without use. My men may toil across the decks, clean the guns, and pretend their a Navy. But their little more than bored boys without those ships moving.<br/><br/>“Shao, build the communes a navy and I may give my obligations to the International and give you my support in Europe.”<br/><br/>“That's fine, comrade. But without orders I don't know if I'll even be operating in European waters. So I can hardly confirm I'll be of use to you.”<br/><br/>“Never the less, I'm putting it on the table. And when you do I will be willing to work with you in seeing out this goal.”<br/><br/>“I must admit it's a goal, but it's one I'm not unwilling to consider.” Shao agreed, “So let's finish lunch, and I shall bring it to my command in the north to prepare. Then we'll see what Beijing commands when the time comes.”<br/><br/>“Agreed, brother!”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tyumen</div><br/><br/>The treads rattled across the cracked asphalt as through the murky windows  the battle-scarred landscape of Tyumen cut by. To his left the brick and stone walls of apartments stood pocked with bullet holes and burn scars around shattered gouges where glass windows had been. In front the road marched along in a lethargic curve as along the right shoulder wispy trees clung to the edge of a steep embankment.<br/><br/>The sounds of this engagement thundered within the shell of the tank. But in time, that had become mute. Tsung sat in his driver's seat, watching the course of a battle rage just beyond the limited scope of damnable protective glass that could never be clean. His numbness held him in a cold grasp, and within the fear of his own numbness only chilled him deeper. An innocence loosing ground watched at a further distance as he felt himself move almost as an automation.<br/><br/>Above and behind him Sun Song sat above his men, shouting firing commands between bursts from the gun and commands to the tanks alongside them. Tsung represented the furthest left-hand corner of a half echelon of three tanks cutting down the narrow river-side street. Cramped against their left: the apartments and former businesses of Tyumen. Opposite: the Tura River at the bottom of this steep muddy embankment.<br/><br/>Behind them the regular infantry kept a brisk pace after the armor, shielding themselves from fire as from in front the Russians returned the tank fire with a response drawn from small-arms fire. Rifle and machine gun bullets struck the metal hide of the Tei Gui, only to flake and flatten, bouncing off or molding into the very steel itself. Never penetrating, never much. And when it hit the glass of Tsung's portholes it cracked and chipped at the heavy, thick plastic guards. What had once been something coated in unwashable grime and unbrushable dust was now being cratered by rifle-rounds that gouged into it, and splintering to form short twisted nests of valleys and crevices. But none that dug deep.<br/><br/>It was this that formed the sanctuary of the tank. The egg of safety that was the Tei Qui, dividing him from the insane reality of the outside. It had become a movie, a play. Separated from the tangible reality, he was just watching another news reels. The bodies were real: that much was always certain. But they were removed from the implication of Tsung's involvement.<br/><br/>And he felt the numbing blankness of it all. Was he becoming a soldier?<br/><br/>From in the turret, just under Sun Song Wi Hui sang a chorus of numbers, counting shells as he loaded for Tse Lin to fire. And she herself returned her own verses, calling hits. Counting them. It became a low rhythmic song with the main cannon as the drum. The ricochet gun-song was only an accessory.<br/><br/>There was a smashing crunch as the tank drove over something. In the relative stability of Tsung's new-found numbness he had not seen feeble stack of brick, metal, and sandbags as they crunched over top and moved along. The bank of apartments gave way to a corner in the road and in his side-window the new landscape opened up down the long Russian streets, flanked on one side by robust and eloquent apartments, build in Imperial pride. And on the other a line of summery trees which bloomed green in defiance of the combat at their feet.<br/><br/>“TURN LEFT!” Sun Song roared from the turret's chamber, “POSITION ON THE CORNER HERE, MAKE ROOM FOR THE MEN!” he continued with rapt, battle-excited urgency. He called it out over the radios, and to him. Tsung carried out the order with the fine brutality of a robot.<br/><br/>The tank came to sweep into its turn and crawl forward before stopping. Tsung called out target orders Hui and Lin carried out. Choking smoke rose from craters formed in the ruddy dirt where shells blew the tree-lined avenue into craters, driving from behind stone walls panicked Russian men who ran shouting like scurrying mice to the river side, dodging the biting wasps of bullets and the hawks of the tank shells.<br/><br/>Guns roared from all angles. Tsung could not tell from where or by whom each ringing shot came from. He could only sit and watch from his seat, as his old self lay curled in the far back, screaming as his own battle-ego – who had grown fat and strong over the battle of Tyumen – took command of the front, laying confidence like mines in dangerous corners.<br/><br/>And through the mirth of battle and fog of the glass, beyond the trees chewed in the crossfire and above their boughs Tsung looked into the battle towards a white-church. Standing defiant, despite the chaos. Its plaster snow-white walls singed. But rising ever higher its towers pierced the sky, so that they came to green fists against the sooty-gray and blue haze of a mid-summer's battle.<br/><br/>Of the details to be enamored with, Tsung looked at that the most intense, blocking out the fighting. Its tiny windows stared dark and black from all faces like dark eyes. Atop its steeples golden crosses glowed in the sunlight, as if denying the darkness and the grayness below. Much like the trees that became felled in the fire-fighting. Though its alcove of baroque Russia was torn asunder it treated itself to stand a bit taller.<br/><br/>There was a high-pitched pang and the explosive twisting of thick metal punched through, and the hiss of gas and the seizing rattle of shuttering gears. In an instant the smell of sweat that permeated the cabin was overcome by something more caustic.<br/><br/>“WE'RE HIT!” Tsung heard Tse Lin scream as he turned back behind him, to see why his controls were now unresponsive.<br/><br/>Rattling and spinning in the back the massive motor block seized and thumped as gas and black tar-smoke sprayed out of a hole smashed clear through its shell and gears. An ominous orange glow bellowed from inside as the smell of harsh diesel fumes and gasoline washed inside the cabin.<br/><br/>“HULL COMRPOMISED, OUT! OUT!” Sun Song wailed, to the cabin and the radios. He exploded up through the turret, dashing for safety as he vaulted from his seat with Lin and Hui hot on his heels.<br/><br/>As explosively as it had dawned Tsung realized that his ego was smashed and his sanctuary pierced as the first tongues of flame began to lick from the bust engine. In his eyes he watched in horror that one Russian tank that had burst in front of him like a morbid fireworks display, spewing a fountain of fire with the crackling pops of exploding machine gun magazines.<br/><br/>He threw open the driver's hatch and jumped outside.<br/><br/>The heat of battle hit him in the face as he bound like a leopard from the hull of the tank as it smoked and fumed from the inside. Crackling echoed from within as he made his escape, jumping from the edge to the side-walk as a hail of small weapon's fire chased him. He could feel the cut of ricochet brushing his fore-arms, the sparks of wayward rounds slapping the metal just behind his legs. He felt terrified again, and re-realized the terrors of war.<br/><br/>With a smack he hit the ground without grace, scrambling across pebbles wet with bloom and across rocks smeared with gore. His heart raced and his head went light. His breaths clenched tight in his chest as all the sensations came to him at once. He felt as if he could not stand to run as he pushed himself along the ground. And with a sudden jolt, he was pulled up.<br/><br/>Lin wrapped her arms under his shoulders and pulled him up, throwing him to his feet as she forced him to run ahead through an open door. Their feet crunched on broken glass as they stepped onto the front stoop of the apartments. As they stepped inside, that terrifying sound from when they entered Tyumen rang in his ears.<br/><br/>With a mental rending scream the Tei Gui behind them unfolded, blowing open the turret and the vents. The concussive blast from the exploding machine threw the two forward through the door. The entire building shook with a giant force and they fell smacking their faces against the dirty blue carpet of the inside.<br/><br/>Tsung had to see, witness with horror. He quickly turned as his stomach threw knots and saw within his eyes the fountain of fluorescent white and yellow spray clear into the sky. Escaping fumes fountained in a cosmically terrible display. Ringing with every second the unloaded shells within went off as the heat caught them, sounding like bells echoing through a mountain hall. The machine gun magazines went off, spraying the insides of the walls as pattering against them as the explosive fumes died only to bellow volcanic diesel smoke.<br/><br/>“Get out of the open!” a man shouted. Tsung was too eager to stay, crawling over top the still crumpled Lin to the safety of cover. Lin crawled after.<br/><br/>The sound of gunfire was hotter, harder, louder out here. The echo of tanks firing was nauseatingly loud. All the sensations raced over Tsung as he pressed himself against the wall as a rifleman fired out the window next to him. Tsung looked up at awe into the man's face, beleaguered with the intense concentration he wore despite the heavy stress.<br/><br/>“What the situation?” he heard Sun Song call out. Outside the window tanks rumbled by as the rest of Song's unit crawled elsewhere to find the source of the shot, or to occupy new cover.<br/><br/>“We got them pinned, we think.” a sergeant answered. Tsung looked over to see his CO kneeling beside a collected man in a nearby doorway, “I hear Khan's leading his motorized infantry around the west more to cut off Russian reinforcements. They're still trying to stream to the river and Anlei is putting the armor up opposite. We're not letting those boats of theirs leave. That's the order still.”<br/><br/>“Well it's all just as clear as when we left.” commented Song, annoyed as he peered outside, “What else?”<br/><br/>And that was when Tsung heard <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWlATfXMmtI"" rel=""nofollow"">the music</a>. It started low, a mere suggestion of something in the wind just below the sound of gunfire. But it picked up volume as it sped along. It was not simply a trick of battle, or his own mind playing tricks. He dared to peak above the window when the grand chorus came into full pitch for all.<br/><br/>“Fucking Chun Kyeung!” Song exclaimed in absolute shock as he too heard the accordion and the chorus over the battle. Across the square, beyond the trees Tsung watched glimmers of bright red pierce the tree. A red as bright as sun-set. As audacious and loud as the music.<br/><br/>“He actually beat Khan?” the sergeant asked, in due surprise. He rose to his feet, like Tsung to get a view.<br/><br/>It came drifting, mounted with speakers where it should have had guns. And between the batteries of speakers flowed banners of orange. It's only gun was a machine gun that fired wide and wild in the general direction of the Republican forces as they fled to the river. But the music seemed to freeze them; whether in horror or astonishment of the surreal it left to be told.<br/><br/>But the vehicle red as blood tore through the unclaimed street, screaming its song as it made a naked streak around the Russians. Its treads tore at the street, tearing up streamers of gravel and rubble as it went. Its machine gun tearing at the speed of the bombastic Russian choir. Tsung did not know what it was they sung about, or if it was even good for them. But the surrealism marked the end of it. He felt light-headed and he collapsed. Exhausted before high-noon.</div>"
22177,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-09-19 15:33:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Boston</span><br/><br/>""Thank you, thank you.""<br/><br/>The small crowd in the bar clapped for the lone singer on the stage as he finished his latest song. He was a skinny white guy in his late 20's or early 30's. A thick beard covered his chin and his curly hair was hidden underneath herringbone flat cap. He wore blue jeans and a leather jacket and had an acoustic guitar in his lap. <br/><br/>""This next song... I like to read, you know?"" He said with a chuckle. ""Always liked poetry. This next song, it's a new one I just wrote a few weeks ago. It was inspired by a Lord Tennyson poem.""<br/><br/>The singer ran his fingers over the strings and began to strum a steady tune. He leaned forward and sung into the mic in a raspy voice.<br/><br/>""Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack, I went out for a ride and I never went back. Like a river that don't know where it's flowing, I took a wrong turn and I just kept going...""<br/><br/>Elliot Shaw watched the performance from the back of the room. Finnegan's was his regular bar and had been for years now. After he left the force he hung around the cop bars, but he could always feel that disconnect that came from being out of the loop when the rest of the boys talked about the comings and goings of the BPD. He was a successful PI and well connected in the system, but he was still on the outside looking in. That got to him after a while so he found Finnegan's and stayed here ever since. <br/><br/>He lit up a fresh cigarette and nursed a highball as he read over the information city councilman Liam Kane's office gave him earlier that day. Jane Wilson, the missing girl Elliot had been hired to find, worked as a secretary for Kane for six months before disappearing with whatever it was Kane really wanted. A copy of an application listed Ms. Wilson's date of birth as 7/7/61. <br/><br/>""Happy belated birthday, Jane,"" Elliot said to himself, tipping his highball in mock toast.<br/><br/>The application listed a Beacon Hill address as Ms. Wilson's residence. No phone number listed. The lack of a phone wasn't so surprising since lots of homes in the neighborhood were without phones. The neighborhood was heavily immigrant and many of those old tenement houses barely had electricity. <br/><br/>""Elliot,"" the stocky man said as he slid into the booth.<br/><br/>""Sean, how's tricks?""<br/><br/>""Tricky,"" Sean said in a thick Irish accent. ""The PI business?""<br/><br/>""Trickier still,"" Elliot said with a grin.<br/><br/>Sean McKenna, the beefy Irishman with the ruddy face, started in the BPD at the same time as Elliot. While Elliot topped out as a detective sergeant, Sean turned out to be quite the rank getter. Even now as Sean approached his mid-40's he had three gold stars that came with the rank of deputy superintendent. By 1990, Sean would be police commissioner.<br/><br/>""What are you drinking, Sean?"" Elliot asked as he tried to get the bartender's attention.<br/><br/>""Just here for a quick chat, Elliot, that's all. I need to get home soon. So I got your message, what's up?""<br/><br/>""You were always the political one, Sean. I need your reading on a client of mine. Liam Kane.""<br/><br/>Sean whistled and licked his lips slowly. <br/><br/>""That bad?"" Elliot asked.<br/><br/>""It's not good, boyo.""<br/><br/>""Well, I know he's an ambitious one. That's all I know.""<br/><br/>""It's more than that, my friend. Liam Kane is the heir apparent to Jim Dwyer.""<br/><br/>Elliot cursed and took a long drag off his cigarette. For the past thirty-five years, Big Jim Dwyer ruled Massachusettes politics. As boss of the Combination, a political machine that dominated Boston since the 20's, Dwyer owned and used people the way everyone else owned and used shoes. Getting on Big Jim's bad side was something nobody did and lived to tell about.<br/><br/>""What are you doing for Kane?"" Sean asked with raised eyebrows.<br/><br/>Elliot slid the papers across the table to his friend. Elliot sipped his highball and watched Sean squint through the dim light at the information. Sean looked up with a crooked grin.<br/><br/>""Was Kane fucking her?""<br/><br/>""Seems likely. He says she absconded with some sensitive information. I'm betting it's pictures of her and Kane doing the horizontal bop. I'm heading out to Beacon Hill tonight to see what I can find at her place.""<br/><br/>""Good luck to you, lad,"" Sean said with a nod. ""You'll need it. Tread very carefully, Elliot. I know your habit for speaking your mind got you in trouble on the force, but crossing these people could be very dangerous. First they ruin your life then they take it.""<br/><br/>Elliot polished off the rest of his highball and flashed Sean a smile that was all bravado.<br/><br/>""They can sure as hell try.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chicago</span><br/><br/>Johnny Leggario smoked his cigar and tried to figure out why exactly he hated himself. It wasn't for the usual reasons one engaged in self-loathing. It wasn't because he was broke. On the contrary, he had more money than he could ever hope to spend. It wasn't because of his looks. He was fat, but not too fat, and the extra weight helped give him a bit of boyish charm that the ladies liked. He never heard any complaints from the women he brought home when it came to what was between his legs. It wasn't because of his station in life. He was part of the inner circle of the Chicago's biggest crime boss, a place many men would give their left nut for. Johnny hated himself because he was becoming his old man. <br/><br/>Like Jimmy Leggario, Johnny was seen as one of the baddest motherfuckers in the Outfit, someone you avoided at all costs if you liked breathing. Like Jimmy, Johnny's power was simply an illusion. It was a gift granted to him by Bobby C. seemingly on a whim. Jimmy knew he was feared and respected as long as Bobby allowed it. That thought made him sicker than anything. He wanted to avoid becoming Jimmy, wanted to avoid this city altogether. He was living in New York six years ago when Jimmy's murder led him right back to Chicago and right under Bobby's thumb.<br/><br/>The Cheetah Room was part of the Bobby's benevolent streak. The strip club was a gift to Johnny that was a pretty shitty gift. He got a ten percent cut of the profits for managing it. Running the club meant having to deal with all the headaches nobody wanted to handle. Most guys out of the loop thought running a strip club entailed lapdances and blowjobs gratis. Instead Johnny had to listen to the strippers' drama and get sucked into the day to day tragedies that were their lives. Think of dealing with hormonal teenage girls, crying all over the place and hating each other and themselves... only all the girls have big tits. Added to getting caught up into their personal bullshit, Johnny also had to make sure none of the girls or other staff dealt drugs or peddled gash on the side. Bobby approved of the girls hooking and pushing blow, but only as long as he got his cut.<br/><br/>Johnny was taking his boss's cut of the action that night, sitting in the backroom with Gingy, the closest thing this diseased hellhole had to an assistant manager. Gingy was over fifty with bright red hair that came out of a bottle. She wore cowboys boots and tight jeans with black t-shirts. She looked every bit of the butch lesbian that she was. While Johnny didn't take advantage of the girls, Gingy was known on occasion to shack up with a few of the sapphically inclined strippers. Gingy counted out Bobby and Johnny's cuts in twenties, a menthol hanging out of her mouth with half a cigarette's worth of ash dangling off the tip.<br/><br/>""That's 1,000,"" she said after counting out fifty twenties that went into Johnny's pile. <br/><br/>She dumped the ashes and started on another set of twenties when the phone on the desk rang. Johnny picked it up while Gingy kept counting.<br/><br/>""The property at Humboldt Park, Johnny. Be there in an hour.""<br/><br/>The line went dead. Johnny put the phone back in the cradle and looked at the clock on the wall before standing.<br/><br/>""I have to go,"" he said to Gingy as he got his sports jacket. ""Count it all out and put it in the safe below the desk, put my share in one bag and the big man's share in the other.""<br/><br/>""You got it, sweetheart. I'll keep the ship running in your stead.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Johnny parked his car down the block from the four-story walk-up and made his way down the street on foot. Waiting for him on the building roof was Stein. Stein was one among the army of lawyers Bobby constantly kept on retainer. A few of them acted as messengers when the man himself was preoccupied with something. Everything said between Bobby, Stein, and whoever he relayed a message to would be covered by attorney-client privilege. A rumpled button-up shirt and khakis replaced the downtown lawyer's usual three-piece power suit.<br/><br/>""Johnny Legs, how are you, boychik?"" Stein asked with a wink.<br/><br/>""It's four in the morning and I'm here with you, how do you think I am?""<br/><br/>""Right, so no small talk. Down to business, yes? Works for me. Now listen up, because none of this is on paper. You know the Greek, right? Well, his bookie shops have been getting hit over the past three weeks. Three robberies from a four man crew. They've been taking anywhere between ten and forty large each heist. Bobby wants the feygeles found and killed in a very public way. Ten grand per dead heister, got it?""<br/><br/>Johnny kept his hands in his pockets and silently mulled over what Stein had just told him. There was plenty of wiggle room inside of Bobby's vague orders, and he planned to use what he could to his advantage.<br/><br/>""Got it. Tell Bobby they're as good as dead.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Boston</span><br/><br/>The lock opened with a gentle click. Elliot eased open the door and stepped inside the apartment. The cramped little studio apartment was the last known address of Jane Wilson. He pulled a flashlight out of his coat and clicked it on. Kane said that afternoon she'd been missing for two days. The apartment was messy. Clothing and makeup were scattered across the living room and into the bedroom. Jane Wilson was a bit of a pig, Elliot surmised. He made his way into the bedroom and found a notebook with telephone numbers on a nightstand. The numbers were labeled innocuously enough with things like Mom or Jennifer or Italian food. One number stood out to Elliot because it was unlabelled and towards the back of the notebook. A hunch told him it was newer than the rest. He pocketed the notebook and left the apartment, heading for the closest payphone down the street. <br/><br/>""Boston Phone, how may I help you?""<br/><br/>""Yeah, this is Sergeant Stanley Mertz with the BPD Homicide Unit, I'm trying to get a reverse listing for a phone number.""<br/><br/>""I'd be happy to, Sergeant. I just need your badge number.""<br/><br/>""Sure,"" Elliot said nonchalantly, reaching into his jacket and pulling out a crumpled piece of paper with a dozen names written down. He scanned to the bottom of the paper with Mertz's information. ""It's 1257.""<br/><br/>""Thank you, sergeant,"" the clerk said after Elliot gave her the phone number he wanted to find out about. ""I'll be just a moment.""<br/><br/>Elliot smoked a cigarette while he waited. The smoke was down to almost the butt when the clerk returned.<br/><br/>""I have a location for you, sergeant. The address for that number is 6576 Sunnydale Lane in Brookline, it's listed as Ten Pin Win Bowling Alley.""<br/><br/>""6576 Sunnydale Lane?"" Elliot asked as he scribbled it down. ""Got it. Alright, thank you.""<br/><br/>Elliot hung up and headed to his car. It seemed strange for her to have a bowling alley's number written down. Maybe a friend worked there? Twenty minutes later he found the address. The place in question appeared to be old and rundown. Elliot felt intuition tingling the back of his neck. He turned into the parking lot and got out. The front door was sealed shut and boarded up, so he decided to go around. The back door was also boarded up, but planks were ripped away in strategic spots. To someone not paying attention, it looked like it was still sealed, but Elliot saw the door could be easily opened. He placed his hand on the door handle and prepared to swing it open when something hard crashed against his head. <br/><br/>He fell to the ground hard and dazed. Before Elliot could even attempt to fight back, somebody shoved the barrel of a gun into his face. ""Don't move,"" a voice said calmly. He looked up and saw a woman, girl really, standing over him with a very gun in her hands and a very hard look on her face. ""You move one inch, and I will fucking kill you.""<br/><br/>""Jane Wilson, I presume?""<br/><br/>""Did Kane send you?""<br/><br/>""Maybe, maybe not-""<br/><br/>She thumbed back the hammer of her gun and a round went into the chamber with a solid click.<br/><br/>""Alright, alright! I'm working for him. He paid me to find you and some kind of documents you have. I don't want to hurt you, believe me.""<br/><br/>""Why should I believe you? You're working for him.""<br/><br/>""He's paying me, but I'm not working for him. If I were here to hurt you, don't you think I would have pulled a gun before I tried to go inside your little hiding spot?""<br/><br/>She looked at him for a long moment before asking, ""Are you packing?""<br/><br/>""Oh, boy am I. Oh...you meant like a gun? I got one in my car, but that's it.""<br/><br/>""Alright, stand up and hold your hands up,"" Jane said as she kept her gun on Elliot. He complied and kept his hands up while she did a quick frisk. ""C'mon, get inside,"" she said once she was content that Elliot was weapons free. She opened the door and pointed him inside the abandoned bowling alley. He walked into the building with Jane Wilson right behind him and her gun trained on his back.</div>"

After the rough landing, Azima wanted to see Persia, but her and the childern were not allowed to leave the plane. It was a refueling stop, so Azima could only see the ancient Iranian city from a porthole window. She could not see much - just the dusty tarmac, and the snow-capped mountains beyond Tehran. They left just as fast as they arrived, and soon they were heading into the heart of the Communist realm. For a girl who had spent all of her life in Africa, she felt absolutely out of her element. Suddenly she was a child again, made small by a world that was completely new to her. And she had a mission of great importance; a burden that meant everything to her family and her people. She had to bring China into the war.<br/><br/>The plane was an converted bomber, and the inside looked much too large for a passenger craft. The seats were dwarfed by the size of it all, leaving most of the cabin empty space. And it was poorly insulated. The plane got very cold when they were high in the air. The Chinese compensated for this by giving their guests borrowed flight-jackets, and fuzzy wool blankets that left specks of white residue on their clothes. <br/><br/>She went over talking points and considerations in her head. The safety of of Africa was the safety of China, and of the world. This war was a war of extermination, and when the ferengi... the Europeans... when they were done with Africa, they would come for Asia. There was no hiding from the Empire of Spain. To avoid war, that was to try and avoid sunset. This could only end in blood.<br/><br/>Sometimes, her mind drifted back to that night in the schoolhouse on Socotra, and the old village elder comforting her. <span class=""bb-i"">'There are not enough faranj in this world for you to worry'</span>. A war-like promise, but she was a warriors daughter, so it comforted her.<br/><br/>And then there was the other image. It was night when they flew over the Taklamakan Desert, and an unusual thunder-storm was raging just outside the window. Turbulence tossed the heavy plane around and made it impossible to get a decent sleep, and so Azima found herself drifting in and out of consciousness so much that she seemed to be stuck in the twilight between both states. Glimpses of holy divers filled her mind's eye. They were deep in a murky midnight sea, swimming toward something on the sea floor. She caught a glimpse of the thing only once before she was snapped out of her dream by temporary wakefulness. It was blurry blob of pale gold, sparkling like a diamond in the murk. The object seemed to give off its own light. That was the last she saw of it. The rest of her dreams were submerged in the choking black water.<br/><br/>When she awoke, she was surprised to see a Chinese officer pointing out things on the ground for Tewodros. Their breath fogged on the window, and Tewodros enthusiastically wiped it away with the corner of his woolen blanket whenever he decided that he could not see. <br/><br/>""Hello."" she said, to show that she was awake. It irked her that this unknown officer would be so arrogant as to approach a prince, but she had to remind herself of the way these Communists thought. To them, all of the Princes became obsolete the day that Marx first put a pen to paper. The Africans were guests of this strange regime, and they were not owed their titles here. <br/><br/>The officer stood up and bowed. He was short by Azima's estimation, though she had observed that shortness was common among the Asian peoples. His forest-green uniform was neatly pressed under a fur-lined flight jacket, and he wore a thick fur hat with an orange star in the front. He looked very young to her - perhaps twenty? She couldn't really tell. ""I did not mean to disturb your sleep, Queen."" he said. <br/><br/>""I couldn't really get sleep."" she said. ""How close are we to Beijing?""<br/><br/>""We are above Ningxia right now."" he replied softly. ""It will not be long.""<br/><br/>""Oh."" she looked out the window at nothing in particular. <br/><br/>""Emaye!"" Tewodros exclaimed, pointing wildly at the window as his breath came out in quick foggy puffs. ""There is the China Wall.""<br/><br/>""Oh?"" she looked for herself. All she could see was miles and miles of brown ridge-lines.<br/><br/>""It is hard to see from here."" the Chinese officer spoke up. ""But if you look, along the mountain that looks like a snake...""<br/><br/>""Oh yes."" Azima saw what he meant. There was a thin line of white winding over the landscape. From up here, it was almost impossible to see. ""I thought it would be bigger.""<br/><br/>""There is not much that is big from so high in the air."" the officer chuckled politely. ""Except what nature has made for us. Cities stick out, but not much else.""<br/><br/>She nodded. ""I don't think I heard your name. You are the officer in charge, I guess?""<br/><br/>""Why that guess?"" <br/><br/>""Your insignia.""<br/><br/>""Oh yes."" he laughed. ""Of course. No, I am not an officer, just a sergeant. I am here to oversee our flight. But there is not much to oversee now that we are in China, so I can relax.""<br/><br/>She looked back out and tried to find the wall again. It had disappeared into the brown, and try as she might she could not catch even a fleeting glimpse. <br/><br/>""Do you feel safe in China? I mean, from enemies?""<br/><br/>""From Spain?"" the sergeant looked almost surprised by that question. ""Well, yes. The Comintern is one united front, and it spans across one tenth of the globe. I cannot imagine this country being in danger. This is the safest place to be if you still fear your enemies.""<br/><br/>""That is good to know."" Azima smiled. ""The most important thing is that Tewodros is safe."" she reached out and mussed her child's hair. ""And Olivier."" Taytu's child was still asleep and buckled into his sleep. He hadn't talked for the entire journey.<br/><br/>""I think that young gentleman has the right idea."" the sergeant said, motioning at Olivier. ""We should be preparing for Beijing. Landings in this plane can be bumpy.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" she fumbled with her seatbelt. ""I remember Tehran.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The sergeant had been right - the landing was rough. <br/><br/>When they finally came to a stop, they found the greeting party to be lack-luster. Mostly it was a small number of Ethiopians - the staff of the Embassy, Azima had no doubt - and a handful of Chinese diplomats waiting along with their guards. The Ethiopians were waving small three-pronged banners in their national colors, and they cheered when Azima stepped off the plane. There were so few of them, however, that the noise was hardly impressive.<br/><br/>From the air, Beijing was a stunning city. It stretched on forever, pouring from the western mountains like a flood and spreading for miles across the surrounding plain. From the plane, the only landmark Azima had been able to discern was the ancient red-roofed palatial complex at its heart, surrounded by miles of metropolis on a grid of criss-crossing streets. Before Beijing, she had never seen anything bigger than Kinshasa, and that city was spread thin across the bogs at the widest part of the Congo river. Beijing was something else. Beijing was an entire nation of its own; an empire on display.<br/><br/>But when they had reached the ground, all of that disappeared behind imposing cypresses and the wispy leaves of eastern Jujubes and Chinese Scholar Trees. Beijing became distant towers poking above greenery, and neighborhoods clinging to mountainsides. <br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty."" Ambassador Fulumirani said softly, bowing down to kiss her on the hand. He was a thin, middle aged man with a head of salt-and-pepper hair and a calm look about his face. His skin was the coffee tone of Sub-Saharan Africa - he was from Swahililand, she assumed. The mix of diplomats and embassy employees in his entourage bowed when he did. <br/><br/>""It has been a tiring journey."" The Queen said curtly. ""The children and I will need to rest before we move to our permanent residence.""<br/><br/>""We have temporary accommodations in the Embassy, of course.""<br/><br/>Azima nodded. ""Good. Good."" she turned to the Chinese delegation and waited with dignity for their greeting.<br/><br/>The Chinese bowed - it was not the deep, reverent bow the Africans gave to their Queen, but the stiff bow of respect she had saw men from China give even to their own kind. <br/><br/>""I am pleased to meet you, Empress Azima. And I deeply regret your loss. The people of China give their sympathy to you. I am Wen Daohang."" said the old man at the front of the Chinese contingent. He bowed slowly, his movement hampered by his advanced age. He was wearing an all-black suit in the Chinese style, buttoned completely up the front in a way that made the collar look stiff and tight. ""If there is anything you need during your stay, my office is the one to contact.""<br/><br/>Azima smiled. ""That is kind. My husband and I have nothing but appreciation for your country.""<br/><br/>Wen Daohang bowed his head politely. ""Your quarters are ready in Tianjin. Chairman Hou has invited you to be his personal guest on his estate. When you are ready, we will send a car.""<br/><br/>There was a twitch of uncertainty in the depth of the Queen's mind just then. It was strangely presumptuous for an old bachelor like Hou to invite her to live with him. How open was Chinese culture to things like this, or was this a breach of custom afforded to the most powerful man in the nation? Yaqob trusted Hou sincerely, and Azima had complete faith in her husband's judgement. She considered that, had Yaqob never met Hou, she would have been offended by Hou's offer.<br/><br/>""Thank you, gentlemen. The last few days have been taxing. I am exhausted, to be blunt about it."" Azima said. <br/><br/>""This afternoon then."" Daoheng smiled.<br/><br/>She had been hoping to stay the night in Beijing, but Daoheng spoke before she could say so. ""Alright."" she replied, wondering why he had suggested a time at all. ""The embassy will call your office when I am prepared. In the mean time, we will go with the Ambassador. The children will need a nap before we leave.""<br/><br/>""I will drive."" Fulumirani approached Daoheng. ""Some of my people will need a lift to the Embassy though. Can your office work that out?""<br/><br/>""Of course. That will be no trouble at all."" Daoheng turned to Azima and bowed again. ""It was an honor to meet you, Queen Azima. When we meet again, I hope there will be pleasant news to discuss.""<br/><br/>""So do I."" Azima answered. Everyone dispersed, and Azima climbed in the back of Fulumirani's car.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Tewodros stared out the car window, completely awe stricken by the Chinese capital. Azima could not help but be impressed herself. They drove along neatly-placed highways that rose above the surrounding area, giving them a view across the rooftops to the forested hills that interspersed the city. Beijing was tightly packed. It was a mixture of ancient homes with slanted roofs and brutalist monstrosities that stuck out like sleeping turtles in the urban sea. This place was, from hill to hill, completely urban; something that she couldn't imagine Addis Ababa achieving in her lifetime. <br/><br/>""Why did Daoheng seem to insist we leave the Embassy this afternoon?"" Azima inquired. Fulumirani was driving the car - a compact but comfortable Chinese model with a dull, boxy frame and a plush crimson interior. An Embassy guard sat silent in the passenger's seat, leaving the Queen and the two children in the back.<br/><br/>""He wants to get you out before you get tangled up in the election."" Fulumirani explained calmly. ""Africa is a big topic right now.""<br/><br/>""I might want to get involved in their politics."" Azima replied. ""If I am going to be stuck here while my husband fights this war at home, I am going to be active. I want to get China involved in the war...""<br/><br/>""You do not have to worry about that, your imperial highness."" Fulumirani said coolly. ""The Third International has officially declared war on Spain. China is in the fight.""<br/><br/>Azima's heart fluttered. It felt like, after months of rain, the sun had finally came out. The Third International was not just China - it was the entire Communist behemoth in the east, and it was marching to war. Spain, the lonely aggressor, could not fight the entire world alone. <br/><br/>""That is it then."" she said. ""Spain will sue for peace. Surely.""<br/><br/>""I don't know."" Fulumirani shrugged. ""Have you read the Walinzi briefings on the Sotelo regime?""<br/><br/>""No""<br/><br/>""I have to read them, and they are very interesting. Sotelo has been consolidating power. He cuts the opposition away... well, he's surgical about it. It is pretty impressive. The only power that can truly oppose him now is the military, but so long as he is a crusader, they stay with him.""<br/><br/>""So he can't end the crusade."" she realized.<br/><br/>""Or his power would evaporate over night. I don't know if even he realized it, but when Sotelo decided to bet on this war, he went all in. If he fails he loses his job.""<br/><br/>""If he fails, he is dead."" Azima corrected.<br/><br/>""Well, maybe not dead...""<br/><br/>""There is no way down."" Azima explained. ""To have held so much power... the government couldn't just fire him and go on, he would be a liability. He can't retire. If he falls from grace, they will have to <span class=""bb-i"">kill</span> him.""<br/><br/>""No disrespect, your imperial majesty."" Fulumirani started. ""But that is the way monarchies work. That isn't the way republics work.""<br/><br/>""I know the difference."" Azima replied. ""But I don't think the Spanish do.""<br/><br/>They left the highway and entered into the city itself. The roads cut through condensed rows of shops and workshops, and equally condensed homes. From there, the road climbed into forested hills, where the buildings were infrequent and ancient.<br/><br/>""Is the embassy in the country?"" Azima asked.<br/><br/>""It is in a quiet part of the city."" Fulumirani explained. ""The area is lovely, I think you will like it.""<br/><br/>""They keep you far enough away that you can't see what is happening here."" Azima pointed out.<br/><br/>""We are allowed to come and go as we please, at least as far as Beijing is concerned."" Fulumirani calmly explained. ""But you are right, essentially. When Yaqob and I lived here, they kept us further away. But China is thawing now. They are more open to foreigners than they used to be.""<br/><br/>When they did finally arrive at the embassy, Azima was surprised to find it unguarded. It was a serene example of traditional Chinese architecture. The roof was slanted and tiled, and most of the building was made of wood and brown-grey brick. There was an extensive yard, and a wrap-around porch overlooking a thick green forest on one side and an old neighborhood on the other. Fulumirani pulled the car to a stop in front.<br/><br/>""How long will it be before Daoheng gets impatient?"" Azima asked.<br/><br/>""I wouldn't wait past six."" Fulumirani replied.<br/><br/>Azima nodded. ""Wake us up at six then. The kids are going to need some time. And so do I.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>By the time Azima and the children were ready, there was already a Chinese limo waiting in front of the building.<br/><br/>They passed through Tianjin on the way. It was a port city - the port for Beijing, and it was just as busy as the city it served. Beyond the bustle of the modern port was the azure waters of the Sea of China. Here, ships from Manila and Saigon waited alongside those from Mombasa and Acapulco. This was the mouth of the Communist machine, swallowing goods from its vassals and allies who, in turn, purchased Chinese goods and weapons. Tianjin and Beijing was at the heart of half-the worlds economy.<br/><br/>The Chinese driver made it a point to brag to the Queen about the African shops and businesses that had sprouted up in the foreign district. <br/><br/>""My cousin owns a bike shop down there."" the driver explained. ""When I am in Tianjin, he always wants to take me to lunch at an African place near the docks. They call it 'Bosaso Market'. It is a great place to eat.""<br/><br/>""I would like to go down there some time."" she replied. The driver seemed pleased by that.<br/><br/>After Tianjin, the road followed the coast. The land here was flat - mostly trees, or miles of identical wheat fields stretching north toward the mountains. From there, the road went downhill toward the sea, and to Hou's estate. <br/><br/>Chairman Hou did not live in a palace. In fact, his home was significantly less grand than the Imperial Residence in Addis Ababa. It was a quaint single story stone-and-shingle Chinese country home built along the beach, surrounded by modest gardens and the simplicity of nature. <br/><br/>They came to a stop in front of the estate and the driver got out and opened the Queen's door. She realized, as she stepped out of the car, that there was only one house on the property, and her uncertainty over the Chairman's invitation grew.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Hou sat in the comfort of an armchair. In his hands he held a wrinkled newspaper, the fine print running tightly-packed bands around simple black-and-white photos. The front page was proudly emblazoned with the image of him holding the cat that had gone to space, and the very root of that article ran at its sides, before continuing somewhere inside.<br/><br/>In truth, it had not been the first time the elderly chairman had read that article, and he was on his second slow reading. Even in a process to retirement, a part of him wanted to know what was happening. And maybe for once and a while, to do so from the perspective of someone not involved. He looked up from his paper, off to the side a young guard fidgeted in the corner of the room.<br/><br/>""Why don't you fetch some tea?"" Hou asked in a low soft voice. He was getting bored, and his mouth was dry and parched.<br/><br/>The guard looked over and bowed, and began his march towards the kitchen.<br/><br/>Hou's living room was sparse, openly decorated. A rich, red armchair took the throne space of the room at the head of a low coffee table. And in modesty at the side stood the equally red couches. Underfoot the lightly colored hardwood floors of the room groaned as the guard made his way to the side-door to the kitchen.<br/><br/>The entire room was lit from the outside. An entire wall was devoted to windows that overlooked the nearby ocean and the patio just outside. Reclining on the handrails a pair of guardsmen leaned and smoke cigarettes as they chatted, staring out into the rolling waves where fishing boats bobbed.<br/><br/>""Comrade!"" a man shouted, entering the room. Hou looked up from the paper and the young soldier stopped in his tracks to look up at the commotion. Standing at the far-side of the room an older sergeant went to attention, ""The empress Azima is on her way."" he declared.<br/><br/>""She is?"" asked Hou, he lowered the paper, gently tossing it onto the coffee table. Reaching for his cane he stood up on feeble legs. Ever since the stroke, his left leg refused to work as proper as the right and he hobbled half-way across the room.<br/><br/>""The car from the ministry has just came into the drive, comrade."" the sergeant added.<br/><br/>Hou nodded, turning back to the younger soldier he rose a feeble finger, ""Don't make that one, bring the whole pot."" he demanded. The young man obliged, bowing before he scurried off through a door. A palpitating excitement beat in his chest. The last he had seen Azima was when Yaqob had been shot, and the memory carried an unnerving weight on the old man. But still, it had been many years. ""Who's with her?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""The royal children."" the sergeant added.<br/><br/>""That's the better."" Hou nodded. So they hadn't been caught up in a campaign game.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>There was a surprising lack of pomp in their arrival. Azima saw very few guards, and no horde of attendants. This seemed like the estate of a private citizen - a place of retirement for a man who had once pulled the strings for the largest Empire in the world. She envied him for his retirement. Her thoughts drifted to home, and for a dreamy moment she imagined this as her own future. Yaqob and his Queen, living the final days of their lives by carelessly making up for the youth they were never allowed to have together.<br/><br/>They were politely motioned up the stairs by the few guards that were there, who were as professional and collected as they would have been if this place was completed crowded by onlookers. The door opened, and she felt the first hint of the cool air that filled the house's atmosphere. Azima made sure Tewodros was at her side, standing on his small legs as proudly as a Ras. They went inside.<br/><br/>And there he was. Hou Sai Tang. The second Genghis Khan - a man who had taken control of one of the oldest nation's on earth and expanded its power to the edge of Europe. But that was not what he seemed to be here. What Azima saw was a kindly, brittle elder leaning into a simple cane. She could see that he had aged a lot since he had visited Ethiopia four years before. His face was softer now, and his skin drooped, but that only made him seem more approachable. <br/><br/>""Azima."" Hou bowed, ""I'm happy to see you. I just ordered tea. But please, sit down."" the old chairman invited. He lifted a hand off his cane and gestured out to the couches.<br/><br/>""Who are these two with you?"" Hou asked as he sat down, looking at the pair of nervous children at Azima's side. Hou noted with some uncomfortable horror that one was missing an arm.<br/><br/>Azima performed her politic smile; a custom that had became second nature to her as Queen. She squeezed Tewodros' hand and looked down at him. ""I think the young Abeto-hoy can introduce himself."" <br/><br/>Tewodros took the cue and stepped forward. There was in him the seed of Yaqob's natural charisma, and he waddled onto the floor with as much dignity as his two year old body could command.<br/><br/>""I am Tewodros."" he said in childish Amharic. ""I am Le'ul."" <br/><br/>""He said he is Prince Tewodros."" Azima repeated in Chinese, playing both the part of Walinzi translator and proud mother. ""He will be turning two at the end of this week.""<br/><br/>Hou looked over at Olivier and Azima continued. ""I believe you have met Princess Taytu. This is her adopted son, Olivier.""<br/><br/>""They look like they are great kids."" Hou complimented. In truth though he had no experience. And suddenly a tinge of doubt came waddling much like Tewodros had on sharing a home with two boys as young as they.<br/><br/>""Though, you must have had an adventure."" he smiled, hiding that doubt for now as he sat, ""And I imagine between us, business. I have to say unfortunately that we do not have a home prepared for you at this moment."" Hou said from his chair. He thumbed his fingers against his cane as he looked across to Azima and the children finding a place to sit at the couches, ""The home we gifted Yaqob during his tenure in China is again occupied by the local universities for wild-life research. And between us learning of your coming and your arrival we haven't found suitable accommodations.<br/><br/>""In lue of this I'm offering you my hospitality. I have the room to spare, and you and the children can live here with me until your long-term residency is sorted out.""<br/><br/>With a stiff grunt he shifted in his seat, leaning on his side against the arm-rest. ""I also suppose you'll want to inspire China to help. I'm not opposed to it, that much is known. But for now I'm incapable of spurring Congress itself to issue the formal declarations. On my behalf, if you so desire, you can speak with them. But with the Third International's recent deceleration of war on Spain over their invasion of your home we owe obligations. That'll make it easy, I figure. It's only a matter of time.""<br/><br/>Azima sat on the couch. She felt strange, after so many years in her station, being offered a seat by this elderly man, but she sat all the same.<br/><br/>""I hope you can find another place for us. This is a foreign land to me and the children, and I am not used to sleeping in the house of another man. But I understand, and I know that my husband trusts you.""<br/><br/>""I'm sure you won't be bothered."" comforted Hou, ""And you'll have all the security here as you would have had at home. As will happen when we procure fitting accommodations.""<br/><br/>""May we see these accommodations, if you would be so kind?"" Azima replied. She felt tired again - overwhelmed by so much foreign and new. He obliged and led them down the hall. <br/><br/>Hou's home was serene - an atmosphere given to it by the skill of the architects and the sea that was visible through so many wide windows on its furthest walls. But their was another subtle air here that lingered in the shadowy corners and patterned wood beams. His house had a flavor of neglect. It wasn't that Hou himself was neglected; it was his life. His furniture was simple, and it followed a pleasing pattern like one might see in a Spanish advertisement, but there was no hint of who he was or what he had accomplished. There were no obvious personal effects, no evidence of family or friends. The Chinese Chairman knew how to surround himself with the appearance of happiness and contentment, but the truth stared out from the empty walls and the musty scent of aged wood. With the state slipping from his hands, Hou's world was empty. <br/><br/>The room he led them two was equally lonely. There was one bed large enough for two adults, and a handful of dressers and shelves. One large window looked out across the sea, and under it was a bench that doubled as a chest. The floor was wood, save for an oriental rug that covered the floor. She realized that this would be her home for longer than she wanted, and in that moment she began to feel Hou's loneliness. <br/><br/>Azima hadn't realized how quiet it had become until Hou spoke up. <br/><br/>""Ah! the tea is ready.""</div>"

Some prepare notes and outlines of their speech, some practice reciting the address until they master it. Others still like to meditate and relax prior to taking the stage.<br/><br/>Alfonso Sotelo prepared for his speeches by doing a hit of cocaine.<br/><br/>But that was not easy to do when being driven around by a chauffeur. The driver, as one would usually hope, was alert and attentive. He checked the rear view mirror frequently and drove cautiously, as one would expect the Prime Minister's driver to do. But as dependent as Sotelo had become to the coca, he was a master of getting his fix stealthily. Behind the driver's seat, he sprinkled out some of the fine white powder from a plastic baggy onto his cupped left palm. Now, for the distraction.<br/><br/>""Driver, would you happen to have the time?""<br/><br/>Sotelo had a fine Swiss timepiece of his own tucked under his right cuff. But nobody in their right mind ever questioned the Prime Minister's requests. To question Sotelo was to invite disaster upon oneself, even if it seemed a silly request.<br/><br/>""Certainly, Excellency."" The driver took his eyes off the road for a moment to tuck back his sleeve and check his watch. With a swift, unassuming inhalation, Sotelo snorted the cocaine on his palm, and then brushed above his upper lip to dislodge any errant motes of white powder. ""It's about ten 'til three.""<br/><br/>The coca gave Sotelo seemingly boundless energy, and the courage to be assertive and audacious. It coursed through his veins, infused his muscles, and drew open his lungs like a sail filled with air. Most dignitaries preferred coffee and tea to give them the extra boost of energy to keep them functioning. Sotelo, in his younger - more honest years, had been an avid coffee drinker as well. But if caffeine was the gasoline, cocaine was nitrous oxide. No finer pre-speech routine existed, and Sotelo had to be convincing now. Officially he was up for re-election next month. Of course, no candidates would be presenting him with a challenge to keep his position; he had seen to it that no one could ever usurp his rule. But he still had to pretend as if there was an actual election coming up. The charade that was the Spanish Republic had to seem authentic... for now.<br/><br/>To that end, he would be speaking to the military men fighting the war in Ethiopia. Specifically, the pilots who would carrying out the first bombing runs in Africa. With suitable press coverage watching, recording, and photographing the Prime Minister before all those pilots and airmen, it would seem a convincing effort to attempt to stay in the public's good graces.<br/><br/>The motorcade rolled on through the checkpoint into the chain link perimeter of the airbase. Uniformed soldiers stood at attention as the Prime Minister's car drove through the raised turnstile. Not long after he had arrived on the base, the fusilade of camera flashes had begun. Photographers for numerous publications snapped photos of the Prime Minister's motorcade as it wound past the the designated parking for the press and continued on to the runway. Sotelo forced himself to roll his window down and wave politely for the cameras.<br/><br/>Through the windshield, Sotelo could see the planes that would be flying in these first sorties. Eight of the four-propellered Gargolas had been parked in a single file line, waiting to taxi out and take off. Standing before the planes in a loose crescent were some 60 airmen and pilots donning leather pilot's jackets over khaki coveralls. They had been arranged in front of the airplanes in an artificial repose similar to that of still life fruit, positioned such that the artwork on the nearest bomber was prominent in each shot. Glowing against the black fuselage of the fore Gargola, an equally black feline was outlined in white moonlight - lunging frontward with bared fangs and ghostly green eyes. Sotelo's motorcade parked a respectable distance from the gathered airmen and the reporters hounding them. But just as soon as the Prime Minister's car was in view, the bomber crews snapped to attention which prompted the reporters to back away.<br/><br/>Loose pebbles crunched between Sotelo's soles and the tarmac as he made his way to the middle of those gathered around the airplanes. His bodyguards followed him loosely enough to allow the reporters to isolate the Prime Minister in their photographs, but strayed no farther. The cameras snapped hungrily as the Prime Minister swaggered across the runway to the <span class=""bb-i"">Fuerza Aerea</span> crews, the airmen did what they could to avoid squinting in the bright sunlight of the afternoon. Once in their midst, Sotelo surveyed his airmen, noting the patches and decorations on their flight jackets, wondering for a brief moment how hot they must all be standing at attention in their jackets in the hot sun. ""At ease, gentlemen,"" he commanded, relieving them at last.<br/><br/>""Pilots, my countrymen. My intention today was to visit you before this greatest of missions. To you, airmen of this Second Spanish Republic, I had prepared an address to offer my thanks for undertaking this endeavor: to pilot these machines deep beyond the borders of fastidious Ethiopia, to destroy vital enemy objectives and infrastructure, to reach into the beating heart of the communist war machine and wrench out its very cogs."" Sotelo reached out into the air outstretched palm as if to seize some invisible object between himself and the airmen, and drew back a clenched fist to his chest.<br/><br/>""I am a man that values honesty above all other things. Therefore, I will not lie to you gentlemen; you have been tasked with a dangerous role. Our enemy makes up for craft and guile in their material deficiency. The Ethiopian air forces will harry you at every turn, flak fire will rattle against your planes. But you are brave men, and you are not deterred.<br/><br/>""How then can I express gratitude for this service? What words exist to express my appreciation for your dedication to duty? Heads of state have long been expected to personally see off their fighting men as the go to war - for thousands of years such men have sought to inspire their warriors through orations. Over the course of such lengths of time, however, the practice has become trite. It is a meaningless thing to attempt to rouse men through spoken word; it is impossible to convey appreciation through such a means. Compared to such resolve, how can mere words hold any sway?<br/><br/>""In my estimation, they cannot. But I know of another way..."" Sotelo turned to one of the airmen situated in the center of the crescent, one he identified as the squadron commander on the account of the lion coat-of-arms and arrow quivers emblazoned upon his jumpsuit fatigues. ""Tell me, what is your name?""<br/><br/>""I am Captain Dorin Estevez of the 35th Bomber Wing, your excellency,"" The pilot reported. He was clean shaven and handsome in general, with short black hair cropped at precisely the 3.5 centimeter length as regulated by the Ministry of War. His features were blocky and masculine, yet refined and unmarred - free of any cuts or scrapes. Battle scars were a rarity in the Spanish military forces after all. Sotelo understood that some of the more seasoned militaries in Europe, namely the Prussians - some of whose officer corps had served in the Great War - regarded this fact as a sign of softness. Alfonso would show Europe how 'soft' the fighting men of Spain soon enough.<br/><br/>But today, he would make a veteran of himself.<br/><br/>""Captain Estevez,"" Sotelo repeated, ""I would like to join you on your flight.""<br/><br/>At this, the captain's eyes bulged. He could not be serious... could he?<br/><br/>Whatever the case, the camera flashes surged in frequency. The reporters could not help but to murmur as they pressed in closer, so close that Sotelo bodyguards had to step in and keep them from getting within one hundred paces of the prime minister<br/><br/>""Why, excellency..."" Captian Estevez stalled, giving himself time to think up a polite way to refuse the gesture. ""I am humbled by your offer. But you said it yourself, our mission is dangerous. It is no place for someone of your importance.""<br/><br/>""Am I any more important than you?"" Sotelo with a seemingly rehearsed delivery. He shot a glance to the press, and smiled as a barrage of camera flashes washed over him. The reporters were jittery with excitement. ""What manner of Prime Minister would I be if I was not prepared to subject myself to the same danger that you face? So, Captain, with your permission, I will see this war firsthand.""<br/><br/>Sotelo watched the captain's eyes shoot momentarily to the ecstatic reporters. The pilot would not deny the Prime Minister, and certainly not before the collective eye of the Spanish press. Sotelo could already see himself on the front cover of El Pais, waving from the cockpit of a bomber taking off to drop the first bombs on Ethiopia. With some luck, such a story would break just before news of the Djibouti disaster made its way home.<br/><br/>Captain Estevez nodded at last and drew the pilot's jacket off of his shoulders before presenting it to the Prime Minister. Sotelo graciously slid the leather jacket, lined with downy wool and embroidered with a roaring black cat, over his pressed black suit. He made sure to present the cameras with a good view.<br/><br/>""Excellency, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Black Panthers,"" he said at last amidst a pulse of furious camera flashing. ""Let's get airborne.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Socotra</span><br/><br/>With a final gasping gulp of air, the priest dove back into the waves, kicking his way down into the sea.<br/><br/>A gurgling rush of foam and bubbles immersed his head as he dove, the curls of hair made knappy and unruly by exposure to the sun and salt water trailed behind his scalp like black streamers. The warm waters of the Gulf of Aden were comfortably cool against his skin. Only the improvised loincloth around his waist and the knife strapped against his thigh resisted the water as he descended from the shimmering surface into the blue depths.<br/><br/>They had been at this for days now, and they had all become skillful divers in that time. Before their ill-fated arrival at Socotra, the priest could not remember the last time he had been swimming. His duty was to guard the Holy Tabot to his final breath, not to frolic in the water. But now the Tabot, by a great calamity, had fallen beneath the sea. Now, after so much practice diving to reach the Tabot, the priest could put the swimming ability and lung capacity of an Olympic swimmer to the test. Only a week ago, the priest could scarcely swim out to the crash site, but with such frequent and determined practice he had made great progress in going deeper and diving longer. It would not be long before he could reach the airplane and the prize within.<br/><br/>The sun's scintillating glow was far above him when the water pressure squeezed against his eardrums. The first time he had experienced this painful sensation, it seemed as if the pressure would kill him. But with practice, the priest had learned to cope with the weight of the sea itself pressing against his ears and sinuses. It was still quite uncomfortable to be sure, but not enough enough to deter him from his sacred mission.<br/><br/>The reef soon came into view. Brightly colored corals formed an underwater garden of spectacular beauty. Among the branching limbs and crusty nodules that spread across the seafloor, anemone flowers billowed in the current. Striking yellow tangs darted about the corals in teeming schools, giving the black and white triggerfish a wide berth as they went. The priest wished he could remain here and admire the Lord's marine handiwork. But his duty to protect the Tabot was ironclad. He paid the reef no regard and continued down into the blue abyss where the reef ended at an abrupt dropoff, pacing his kicks to conserve oxygen.<br/><br/>He had no choice but to pay careful attention to the predators in the water. Sand sharks with long, lobed tailfins and wicked teeth paddled lazily beyond the precipice of the dropoff. They looked sinister enough, but always gave the Christians a wide berth. It was the big fishes that concerned the priest. Barracudas behaved much more aggressively than any shark he had seen, but it was the giant grouper that made the priest bring his knife on every dive. Just three days ago, a monstrous grouper attacked another priest with lightning ferocity. The fish meant to drag the intruding diver down to its lair, and it would have succeeded had that priest not brought his own knife with him. By the grace of God, the prick of the blade drove the beast away and he had not been seriously hurt, but the incident served to remind the Christians that the ferengi were not the only servants of the evil one in these waters.<br/><br/>A nebulous, white form glowed beneath him; a mass of aluminum which reflected what sunlight reached these azure depths with long wings that reached out and embraced the sand it rested upon. It was the airplane, he had never seen it anywhere near as clearly as this. Only five more meters separated him with the sunken aircraft. His lungs did not burn so badly yet, and he could tolerate just a bit more pressure on his ears. He was going to make it this time; he would be able to get inside the fuselage and ensure the Tabot was intact. Once his companions back on shore had found something sufficiently buoyant, they could return and float the Tabot's container up to the surface. He made determined kicks now, closing the distance between himself and the impact-warped fuselage.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">BWONG</span><br/><br/>The entire ocean reverberated with a piercing metallic sound the likes of which he had never heard. It was so loud and so crisp that he could feel the pulse pass through his body. He knew of nothing that could produce a such a sound.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">BWONG</span><br/><br/>As the second pulse shot through the water, he heard and felt the airplane beneath him ring out as it echoed off of the riveted aluminum. As quiet returned to the water, he could hear another sound to accompany the nigh-defeaning pulses. This one was a constant, low drone. A motor.<br/><br/>Far above him, a great shadow crept across the surface. The hull of a great metal ship glided into position, casting rays of shadow where it blotted out the sunlight. The Spanish had come for the airplane at last.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">BWONG</span><br/><br/>This pulse was the loudest of them all. The priest reasoned that these sounds allowed the ferengi to see underwater, because the vessel was now positioned directly above the wrecked airplane. The Spanish had come for the Ark of the Covenant.<br/><br/>But they would not leave with it.<br/><br/>With the ark just beyond his grasp, the priest reluctantly turned about and kicked upward. He dug forward with his arms, there was no need to pace himself on the way up. His lungs screamed for air as he climbed toward the metal hull of the warship. It was such a long ascent, and he was so hungry for air that he feared he might go unconscious and drown at any moment. But he did no such thing; he reached the hull of the ferengi ship and then swam under the bow. His head cleared the surface at last and he drank in delicious oxygen.<br/><br/>In the shadow of the ship, he could hear the deckhands going on in the ferengi language. He could hear chains clattering and metal equipment being moved about. The priest knew they were going to take hoist the ark up out of the wreckage. Over his dead body, that is. But he would need a way up onto the vessel's deck. By the grace of God, the invaders were kind enough to provide that to the priest.<br/><br/>The Spaniards dropped the ship's anchor, which shot downward with a thunderous splash. The falling hunk of steel narrowly missed the priest, but provided a length of heavy chain links up to the topside of the ship.<br/><br/>With his path granted to him, the priest took the knife into his teeth and proceeded to climb up the anchor chain.</div>"

Still under the hum there sang the distant ring of battle that echoed in his ears, and the panic gripped him.<br/><br/>With a start he shot up out of bed, eyes wide and face pale as he gripped at the edge of the cot. He froze the moment he sat up, gazing straight at the face of a plastered wall on the opposite side of the room. His chest heaved up and down with great swinging movements. His hands held the side of the cot tight and he felt himself shaking as he scanned the room.<br/><br/>It wasn't large, but neither was it small. Filling up the empty space made by having thrown the furniture to a chaotic pile in a distant corner a platoon's worth of cots and beds had been dragged in, all of which occupied by a still sleeping soldier. A sudden fear strangled him. Was he dead now and this was his ghost seeing the victims of battle as they lay in their final state? But a voice from alongside him brought down the cold fear that spun in his blood.<br/><br/>“About time you were up.” the low grump voice of Wi Hui spoke up. Tsung turned.<br/><br/>Sitting alongside his bed Hui leaned back in a chair, legs crossed and stretched out as a weakly lit cigarette hung in limp lips. He looked at Tsung with a bored placid face. The sunlight falling through the window behind him shone gold off his bald head. There was no better a confirming sight for Tsung to see than him. At least it proved he was alive still.<br/><br/>“I, uh...” Tsung started, confused. He felt as if he hadn't had a proper sleep, a dull soreness coursed through his body from head to toe and there was a dim tin ringing in his ears, “How long was I out?” he asked weakly.<br/><br/>“About twelve hours, maybe.” Hui noted, “You passed out in the field. For a second we all thought that you had been shot through the window.<br/><br/>“But of course, it seems like you just shut down.”<br/><br/>“I-...” Tsung started uncertainly, “I um... I don't know what happened. What happened?”<br/><br/>Hui shrugged indifferently, “Medic said you probably were just over-excited and stimulated or some crazy shit and you'd come back around.” he shifted in his seat as he looked around the room, “A lot better than the other fuckers here.” he pointed out in his dry voice. He looked over to the bed alongside Tsung where a crumbled body of a passed out soldier lay, the steady rise and fall of his chest was the only confirmation of his living despite the vast blood stain slowly trailing down the white linens covering him. His face looked badly burned.<br/><br/>“This sad fuck took a big gut shot. I got to sit hear and watch the surgeons try to close his belly wound.” Hui chimed, “I think he'll be going home.”<br/><br/>The thought didn't make Tsung feel any better and he felt his own stomach twist and growl. His face knotted as he keeled over and his hands went to his stomach. His palms touched bare skin as he turned to sit up out of bed.<br/><br/>“Hey comrade, have decency.” Hui shouted in dry protest, “You're naked, docs took all your clothes to check for wounds, nurses took your uniform to get clean. I've had the honor of seeing enough mangled penis today, I don't need to see yours.” he added in a much lower tone.<br/><br/>Tsung froze to realize he was right. With his legs half hanging off the edge of the bed he was about read to throw himself out. The sudden embarrassment was enough to freeze his stomach and he sat awkwardly half-off the edge of the bed. Blood rushed to his face as he pulled the blankets up closer around him. “T-thanks.” he stammered.<br/><br/>“Good show, thank you.” Hui cheered, flicking the ashes of his cigarette onto the dusty carpeted floor.<br/><br/>“Well, uh... I-...” Tsung stammered and staggered over his words as he pulled himself back on the bed. Pulling up the sheets in the sudden awareness of his unwarranted nudity, “When do I get out?”<br/><br/>“When the doctors get back to check on you.” Hui pointed out, “I dunno, I think they were expecting you to have lapsed into some insane coma. You weren't responding the entire time.”<br/><br/>“So I... I suppose it was bad then?”<br/><br/>“You were pretty deep in.”<br/><br/>“Oh... So where's everyone?”<br/><br/>“Well, our tank blew up and command wanted Song out in the field still so he jacked command from someone else and went out into the field. I imagine that guy is taking this moment to nap last I checked. And Tse Lin is doing what Lin does.”<br/><br/>“Were you both waiting for me to wake up?”<br/><br/>“Not the entire time.” laughed Hui, “But, sort of.” he admitted with a tinge of guilt, “There's not a thing of shit to do here in Tyumen for us so we've been trading spots. If Lin intends on keeping a schedule at all, it's about time for her to relieve me.”<br/><br/>“She's been here too?”<br/><br/>Hui nodded, “Or in her own way.” he said dismissively, “Uses this time to look at those picture-books of hers. She's a fucking geek like that.”<br/><br/>“Her, what?”<br/><br/>Hui rolled his eyes, “Those mystery comics.” he mumbled, “Shit, you forget that too? Detective Gong Shu and shit.”<br/><br/>“Oh...” Tsung mumbled, laying back against the dry plaster wall behind him. He felt loose grains and motes of plaster wall fall against his shoulders and back as his head rested on the wall. He still felt weak, and as things caught up a weightless sort of shake crawled over his body. He felt a uncomfortable sharpness in his world.<br/><br/>“How...” he started, “How did it go?”<br/><br/>“That fight?” Hui asked, Tsung nodded silently.<br/><br/>“I suppose it went OK.” Hui thought back, “We won, I guess. A big group of Russians from upriver I hear managed to retreat. But we stopped the unit we were hitting from retreating. No one's given me numbers, but I hear some several hundred got shot, a few more drowned in the river when our armor on the other side of the river capsized their boats. We mopped up and captured the rest. They're well on their way east now, for who the fuck knows what.”<br/><br/>Tsung nodded along. His head felt heavy. But the sudden pop of an opening door drew up his attention. He looked up to the far-side of the room. Tse Lin was on her way in.<br/><br/>“He's awake!” she declared as she walked over. She drummed a rolled up magazine against he knuckles as she strolled towards the two men. He look of relief was painted across her round face, “How was your nap?” she asked him.<br/><br/>“I-ahh...” he started to say. But his tongue swelled. The memory of once having caught her in the shower hit his head. He picked up his knees as it washed down to fill an awkward erection. “I-it was...” he tried to find words, looking away.<br/><br/>“He's been a bit out of it since he woke up.” Tsung cut in, “Stammering a lot. Give him a bit and our little greenhorn will be back together.<br/><br/>“Shit, green?” Lin laughed. She tapped upside the head with her book as emphasis, “Pretty sure he just bailed from his first burning tank, I think that validates him not being fresh meat now.”<br/><br/>“Lin, that was all of our first times bailing from burning armor.” Hui reminded with a cold voice.<br/><br/>“I wouldn't speak for Song.” Lin offered back, “So if our little shit's awake I suppose I'll go get the doctors then?”<br/><br/>Tsung wasn't looking up at either of them. He was looking ahead, trying to avoid contact. He was afraid they might notice the painful awkwardness not just in the back of his eyes, but painted in hot rosy pink across his face. He drummed his knees as the rest of him throbbed.<br/><br/>“Sure, whatever.” Hui invited. Lin nodded and turned back, heading for the door. As he foot falls faded as she headed for the door Hui leaned in, inviting Tsung's attention to Lin.<br/><br/>“You know,” he began, “Lin has a fine ass, don't you think.” Hui laughed.<br/><br/>Tsung's voice turned nervously in his throat as his eyes followed her butt out the door.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Moscow</div><br/><br/>Rain pattered against the cold glass window. Standing looking out over the outer tenements and blocks of Moscow, Ullanhu watched as the gray rainfall came down in a curtain over the Third Rome. In the hazy dreariness across the expansive urban sprawl of the city the golden towers and onion spires of its many churches stood above the low-standing structures of central Moscow, older Moscow. In its dense network of tight narrow streets cars droned through, or men and women walked through the rain.<br/><br/>Somehow in all that was with the rest of Russia, its desolate abandonment and threat of violence (most notably that of the impending forces of China in the east) there was left an island of subtle sanity left in Moscow itself. Although armored cars and armed men patrolled the streets holding order, these were shut away from the mind; as Ullanhu had come to note.<br/><br/>The apartment in stood in formally belonged to Vasiliy's uncle, as he had been told. But he had left the city, left Russia all together some time ago. He had left with the rent paid, some several months in advance. According to the agent's parents he had been intending to stay, or looked as if he was. But when they arrived he had left, taking as much of his baggage with him. Vasiliy had spent the rest of the day looking for information on his uncle, where he had gone.<br/><br/>And that was several days ago.<br/><br/>Now the Siberian agent was gone on long irregular excursions into the city. Whether to search for information on his uncle to make sure he was alright or to determine their coming angle of attack was a mystery, even to the observant Chinese agent. But he had stopped trying to make sense of Vasiliy's motives and activities, so long as he brought details to him.<br/><br/>But there was another thing that bothered Ullanhu. Simply: the foreigness of being so far from home. He was in Europe now. Well inside its outer fringes by many accounts. And the city of Moscow looked every bit the part. Even so far away from the center, and muddled by the gray rainwater that washed the city from above he could stand and see the brightly colored mansions nestled in the distant central okrugs. The churches that dotted the landscape in proud triumph also brought the realization in. He wasn't in a secular land, he was a holy one. Where the measure of daily pride wasn't spent on pride of revolution or to liberation, but to salvation in God. And nothing more typified that than the ghostly marker of the crimson towers and banded onion-shaped spires of the distant Saint Basil Cathedral; or so he was told that's what the building was.<br/><br/>Below the window the Moscow River wound its slow steady course east, cutting its winding snake path through Moscow itself and being lost among the baroque apartments and narrow cobble streets of the older, ancient narrows of the capital.<br/><br/>There was a sound at the door, Ullanhu stood up. A twitch shot through his hand as he jumped to his side; searching for a gun. But turning he saw Vasiliy, and he eased.<br/><br/>“Where've you been this time?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Scouting.” Vasiliy declared openly, walking towards his Chinese partner. A smug smile on his face, “I think have plan.” he boasted.<br/><br/>“You do?” Ulanhu asked.<br/><br/>“Best as could think, but will need to more do.” he coughed feebly, “But I confirm there private subway terminal under Kremlin at least.” he admitted, turning aside to the kitchen table.<br/><br/>The meager apartment was sparse, and perhaps only three rooms: a bathroom, a sitting-room kitchen, and bedroom; Vasiliy and Ulanhu traded between the couch and bed in the next room. And as much as it was sparse it was small, no bigger than a matchbox for living, the two men had just enough room to maneuver about themselves as they sat down at the table.<br/><br/>“How'd you come to find out?” asked Ulanhu.<br/><br/>“I do searching, asking.” said Vasiliy, “Where get, and who from. Found basement, in basement is door. Is also elevator. Think elevator where president office is. Also asked. Some men, if trust you tell you anything. And some men easy to trust win. Ask them, 'I hear stories of subway. Is true?'<br/><br/>“Some of these men, be there long. But not feel rewarded. Slip something to them. They tell. Answer is yes: it does exist.<br/><br/>“As told, is emergency evacuation line: when in threat by maybe Germans or English. In times of emergency, czar may give order to shut down Metro, take car out, and abandon the city. System connects to the Sokolnicheskaya Line – or how you say: red line.<br/><br/>“We can take tracks to north-east. But we fast need be. Soon as we get to last station we must escape from city, fast as wind. Fast as horses, my Mongolian friend.”<br/><br/>“I never really rode a horse before.” Ullanhu admitted.<br/><br/>“Oh...” Vasiliy mumbled, with some shame, “But you get picture, yeah?”<br/><br/>“I believe I do. But it sounds like you have a plan, so what's the hold up?”<br/><br/>“So, is problem: we need time to make escape. I need to figure out how to make time.<br/><br/>“I just need few days longer.” Vasiliy trailed off. <br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Surgut</div><br/><br/>In the days following its capture, the town of Surgut had allowed itself to slip into the ethereal void of loosing importance. To the Russians: the town was lost, far beyond the city of Tyumen and too deep into the wilderness to save. And so far deep in the Siberian north, it was not worth the effort. It came that in control of Surgut that the Chinese could claim to dominate the territories. From the Ob north was communist wilderness. And across the distant Tobol into which the river flowed the unsettled wilderness, a backyard in which to out-maneuver any foe. These factors thus made: Surgut was well and good behind the front-lines, and out of the way of combat.<br/><br/>Riding aboard the improvised buggy as provided by the Siberian military, Quan Yun-qi watched disinterested as he passed through the city. Lapsing so far behind everything and put under his occupation a sleepy city. In the days following the autumn days of Republican Tyumen the tensity among the residents waned. Upon receiving the first supplies from the river, there was an almost uneasy certainty these occupants could put the city back to work.<br/><br/>“I'm bored.” the officer complained to his driver. The dull ache of not being on the front was nagging into Yun-qi and chewed his heart and every limb. Like a magnet his mind found itself drawn to the war that now crept slowly away from him. But unlike a magnet, it became only stronger as it marched away from him.<br/><br/>In his time he had entertained his thoughts corresponding with his wife, the nurse that had stitched him back together when he had been hacked with a machete in Mindanao; and now their child. But the periods between letters were drawn, dull, and listless. He had all the time to read and write: but horrifyingly none of it seemed to have life without something to write about.<br/><br/>“I know that feeling.” his driver remarked listlessly. He stared passively out across the empty road as he maneuvered the vehicle through the streets.<br/><br/>The Siberian regulars had arrived and took up their rolls, effectively being what the Chinese were. But here they were, stuck in a limbo.<br/><br/>“The town is nice and all, but I really wish we had orders.” Yun-qi continued to complain.<br/><br/>Surgut was a newer settlement than the cities he had yet to see in the far west. It lacked the same sort of pedigree shared between ancient metropolis' like Moscow or Beijing. Its avenues and roads were wide and open, accommodating for the traffic of the twentieth century. The echo of the puttering engine behind them puffed softly off the brazenly barren, and uninspired faces of apartments.<br/><br/>Every so often something older would be seen standing, some decadently painted home or office. Or some log cabin house, painted over in bright hues of blue. But these were few and far between with the cinder block construction that dominated river-side Surgut.<br/><br/>“I've heard rumors,” the driver said, making conversation, “I'm not sure if you've been told or not. But I hear that there is talk among the residents that we may have killed their own.”<br/><br/>“I was never told.” Yun-qi admitted, “When was this supposedly to have taken place?”<br/><br/>“Some time before we entered town proper. I have not heard details.” the driver said, “But they say some men, maybe fourteen men in all did not return from the fields. Some are believing one of us did it.”<br/><br/>“You say some, so who are the others not-us?” Yun-qi asked.<br/><br/>“I hear talk of a Mafiya. But I don't know who those are. But they sound like a triad. There are a couple organizations I guess that get brought up: the Phantoms of the Wood and the Horses of Perm.”<br/><br/>“They sound ridiculous.” spat Yun-qi, “So I suppose the Russians are superstitious then?”<br/><br/>“Which ever the case, comrade: they are frightened of something.”<br/><br/>“Yes well, let's not all jump at ghosts.” Yun-qi groaned, “Stop the car.” he ordered.<br/><br/>“Why so?”<br/><br/>“I want to take a walk.” the officer grumbled.<br/><br/>With a sputtering put the buggy came to a stop. The traffic deadened roads of Surgut provided no concern of causing an accident, or even traffic infractions. But even if this factored, on hearing of the Russian fears Yun-qi highly doubted any still-operating police would risk indicting the Chinese on such an offense.<br/><br/>Stretching, Quan Yun-qi looked up into the sky. The clear blue sky spanned unadulterated from north to south. And east and west. But turning to the west there was rising a black smudge, crawling and dispersing against the clear azure sheet. He froze, surprised and stunned. “Comrade, what is that?” his driver asked tensely as he too saw the thinning black column as it dragged against the open skies.<br/><br/>Like a tree bent by a harsh wind, the smoke plumed up from the ground, grinding and filing up as it followed something along the ground. Yun-qi had no answer, “We can't be...” he started, “It couldn't? Could it?”<br/><br/>He stepped hesitantly towards it. The column of acrid sooty exhaust was trailing fast and wild. It was like a silent phantom at first, until he heard the hard pounding of the engine, and the screams along the tracks. It was a train, and it was racing fast. Too fast to be safe. As its roar grew louder, and the smoke more ominous he heard the screams of whistles as officers in pursuit shouted aside the onlookers.<br/><br/>A pinching fearful curiosity sprang to his mind, and he turned down an alley, sprinting for the tracks.<br/><br/>His boots fell in pace with the roar of the engine of the iron horse as he chased it through the narrow wet alleys. Bounding through the clear streets passed onlooking residents and the tense soldiers as they looked between he and the train's raising tail.<br/><br/>Throwing aside trashcans Yun-qi spilled out atop the embankment between the city and the river-side port. The interlaced network of tracks running parallel courses through with the spindly steel-framed cranes hanging overhead. And with the roar of the train reaching a crescendo those on the dock looked towards it in awe, and turned to run.<br/><br/>Yun-qi did turn. And his heart which had been racing turned to stone before the chariot dressed in flame. Snapping violently along the tracks the train showed no sign of stopping, or even of slowing. The fire that lapped out of its windows leaving a trail of red-hot silk spewing coal-black smoke. At its head a burned man hung as a totem, strapped in chains. And the moments froze as it leaned on its wheels as it tore into the final turn, the billowing fury that engulfed it screamed as the steel screamed.<br/><br/>There was a moment where all froze, even the tongues of fire. The clouds stopped, gravity froze. Soldiers and civilian alike locked in a frozen moment, taken in by the picture of the locomotive as its shell tore open. The iron casing peeling back from twisting cracks that glowed with Hellfire. In the sudden wave that drummed from the locomotive's bowls Yun-Qi was thrown back as someone grabbed him by the shoulders. A hellish roar filled his ears as the back of his head cracked against bricks and the lights went out.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Volgograd</div><br/><br/>Low and resonating, the voice of Basil sang out from the bridge of the ferry. Slumberingly slow and deep as that of a bear the boatman sang aloud the <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9JtNijl5ts"" rel=""nofollow"">Song of the Volga Boatman</a> in a deep voice. With a low tempo so that every syllable was like that of a religious chant. In rose and crescendo with the break of every wave as the chugging fairy boat navigated the sand and rock-reinforced channels and banks of the Volga River. The trees that stood over the far banks of the Volga stood as spectators that trapped and echoed the man's off-key, too deep singing voice. The river echoed in his low baritone voice as they ship sailed along.<br/><br/>Jun sat on the deck, legs crossed as he looked out over the bow of the boat with the man's voice singing out from an open window in his cabin. He did not mind the singing so much. The trip had turned regular, boring. Along the course of the Volga they passed communities and  towns that had become isolated come the fall of the Empire. Some looking better off than most, but all looked on the brink.<br/><br/>As they wound through the waters the river came to open wide, as it entering into a lake in its own right until the banks of the already wide river were more insurmountable than before. The dark blue waters underneath them shone in the bright afternoon sunlight and in the distance above the water's edge the span of a length bridge cut across the river where it narrowed again.<br/><br/>“We near!” Basil cheered loud, as he broke from his slow rendition of the Volga Boatman, and as the boat passed underneath the rusted red rail bridge that crossed the Volga river. Chugging low and slow under neath they passed under the steel girders and through the shade of the narrow bridge and kept moving.<br/><br/>The river was quick to break down here. Beyond the bridge turning into a network of islands in the middle of the river. Forming intertwined arms and knotted ribbons of water as the river continued on a drifting course towards the Caspian.<br/><br/>The song resumed, turning over from the first chorus as the ferry began to meet with the wooden or aluminum tubs of men fishing in the river. Paddling out of their way as the large ferry boat past they looked up with expressions of curiosity. Jun watched as they passed them from the cover of the railings and shadows of the deck.<br/><br/>Along the right bank of the river the shadowy tombstones of imperial factors showed through the boughs of trees. Between the green leaves the burned, blackened remains of Russian industry sat silent at the river side. The smoke that billowed from them long choked silent, held within the brick and the broken glass that shone erratically in the afternoon sunlight.<br/><br/>“Gift of the Turks!” Basil declared from the upper deck. Jun looked up as he came out of his hiding. The ferry boat captain leaned half out of an open window with one meaty arm resting in the frame.<br/><br/>Jun looked back down from him to the northern shelled face of Volgograd. “It was perhaps one of the most shocking things we all heard after the death of the czar.” he continued, “When the Turks swelled north out of the Caucus and swept into our cities. In disarray, our noble armies could not fight the Muslim foes. They came clear to Volgograd – our old Tsaritsyn – and took the Jewell of the Volga to their own.”<br/><br/>The ferry boat continued to plod along, passing the concrete of industrial retaining walls. Empty desolation ruled the bank of the river in monotonous gray. A blemish on the gem that Basil so loudly praised.<br/><br/>Clearing the islands in the center of the river a new bridge spanning the river came into view. Crawling out from behind the spruce and the rocks of the river-side the great concrete bridge conquered the wide-river in two sweeping arches. The heavy cement construction giving air to an immortal integrity, conquered even from a distance by the daily traffic in and out of the city. At the wilderness side, the unconquerable vast hills and plains of southern Russia. And opposite the towers and empty pride of an imperial city.<br/><br/>They pulled up closer to the river's shore. As rocky and overgrown embankments gave way to a structured dock-side. Behind the low trees the baroque rises of Volgograd stretched out across the hills, dominated at the front towards the river by a pillared and regal old river terminal. Clear and empty, the shell of the building resembled that of a theme park after season. The abandoned kiosks and park benches that stood facing the water's edge empty of their life and importance. A few men, disheveled and filthy wandered about. They rose their heads to find the new boat came to bump against the tires strapped to the side of the pier.<br/><br/>“All ashore!” Basil cheered jovially with a smile. For once the middle-aged Russian looked happy, the happiest he had been in years, by Jun's measure.<br/><br/>With a hard clump Jun's boots hit the cement of the ferry pier. His body swayed as he again stood on solid ground and he stumbled several steps forward like the village drunk. Equilibrium shot, he staggered ahead for the shade of the terminal's concrete canopy. Among the unswept debris that piled in the corners of the open-air terminal building the chirping of songbirds echoed in the artificial cave. Frightened by his sudden arrival, a spooked dormouse broke out of its cover in the nest it had stole in the overhang above Jun's head. The sound of the rodent startled the agent, who reached for a sword that was not there.<br/><br/>His tension eased, and his heart-rate lowered as he realized what it was. Sighing, he walked over to a wall and leaned against it. Waiting for that familiar stability to return to his legs. He looked behind him to the ferry boat docked at the pier's edge. Basil leaned over the rails watching Jun.<br/><br/>“I wish you luck.” the man shouted from the boat.<br/><br/>“Same to you.” Jun answered, he looked back towards the city and the rows of townhouses all facing the river.<br/><br/>“I think I will stay here for some time.” Basil nodded confidently, “It's not Perm, so it is a change. Where will you be going?”<br/><br/>“Still anywhere but where I am.” replied the agent.<br/><br/>“Well if it is anywhere I can take you, then I will.” smiled the ferryman, “If you have the money to pay of course. I must still eat!”<br/><br/>Jun smiled, if dry and tense. “I'll keep it in mind.” he said, “I assume you don't know much about the town then?”<br/><br/>“No, unfortunately not. I am a stranger: much like  you. But we will make it, I know that much! And by God's will, we shall endure. For what little hope is left in my fatherland it will be shared by us.”<br/><br/>God. Hope. Jun laughed, leaning off the wall, “As to you.” he said, as his last words to the ferryman.</div>"

It was the norm for his profession, though once he left the operating room the blood always started to feel like filth. He strolled comfortably through the halls of the Bambari Walinzi complex. Enclosed walkways connected the simple buildings together into one continuous structure, allowing for patients to be transported from one building to the next without ever going outside. Most of the buildings had the same clay tile floors, and open windows to let light in from the outside world. <br/><br/>This was an abandoned Belgian diamond mine that Hassan had claimed during the Civil War of 1974. Now it was the undocumented home of the Walinzi's Psychological Research unit; an operation centered around Dr. Sisi and his experiments. Though Dr. Sisi was a private citizen, his work for Hassan and the Walinzi allowed him plenty of extravagant privileges. The patients were his, and he was allowed to do whatever he wanted so long as he threw the occasional bone to his employers. He had built a career here. His achievements in neurology made him the toast of Vienna and Madrid. He was the new Freud; a master who connected the shadows of human psychology explored by Freud to physical properties in the brain. He 'laundered' his achievements of course - performing public experiments based on what he already knew from his considerably unethical Walinzi work to produce what seemed like miraculously concise results. And if that didn't pay well enough, he sold excess psychoactive drugs on the side.<br/><br/>Sisi stopped at the door to his office and peeled the blood-spattered gloves from his hands, tossing them in a canvas bin. Outside he could see white figures distorted by humidity. Those were some of his mindless patients. They moved like zombies, and mined for nothing at the bottom of the pit.<br/><br/>He went in his office and felt the vague-coolness supplied by the desk-fan he kept constantly running. His desk was neat and organized, with stacks of case-files placed alphabetically in bins, each according to its type. A single case-file remained open in the center of the desk under a porcelain phrenology bust. The rest of the room reflected the same organization - a cot with folded sheets, a rack graced with his best hats and coats, and a massive Persian rug that he personally vacuumed every morning. He took off his lab coat and folded it neatly on top of a filing cabinet, slipped on a velvet smoker's jacket, and sat down to write.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""The brutish sort of leader will always secretly wish that each and every man under his <br/>command were an Automaton. This is true for all in this circumstance, whether they are world leaders, <br/>the owners of extensive plantations, or fathers. Perhaps, with the perfection of machinery, <br/>this will become a reality, though who can say what will happen to the peasant once he has become outmoded.<br/>For now, however, the only method which can bring about the creation of mindless drones is psychiatry. <br/>The question of whether or not this will be possible isn't a question at all; in science, <br/>if it is foreseeable, there is certainly a way to achieve it. The true question is whether or <br/>not it will happen, or if our species will in every nation uphold the ethical standards of our science...""</span><br/><br/>He dipped his pen in a crystal inkwell and continued. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""But this is not my question to resolve. What I am curious about is not whether or not such<br/>an act would be acceptable, but rather what methods might be used to affect it.""</span><br/><br/>There was a knock. Sisi looked up from his work and stared at the door as if he were judging it for allowing itself to be knocked upon. ""May I inquire who it is?"" Sisi asked, just loud enough to be heard on the other side.<br/><br/>""Mossadeq. Ras Hassan sent me.""<br/><br/>Sisi took a deep breath. He did not like being babysitted, but he could't say no. Hassan was his patron, and for all intents and purposes, Mossadeq was his boss. <br/><br/>""The door is unlocked."" Sisi said. He placed his pen back in its well and began to reread his work to, if nothing else, look busy. The door opened and Mossadeq entered.<br/><br/>Commander Mossadeq was one of the many Hassan-made men in the African government. He had been a military radio attendant during the Yohannes years, where he stumbled upon a career-making discovery that Dr. Sisi barely understood. Something had happened in the Sahara back in '71, and whatever it was had left the door open for young Mossadeq to vault up the ranks. Now barely forty, he was in charge of the entire Walinzi.<br/><br/>Mossadeq was of Arab origin - a Tuareg perhaps, or a Bedouin, though Sisi did not quite understand their differences. He wore black fatigues and had a square face topped with greasy black hair. Under his arm, he held a long, thin square package.<br/><br/>""This came up the hill with me."" he explained, leaning it against a filing cabinet. <br/><br/>""Ah yes."" Sisi jumped out of his chair with delight and began to unwrap the package. ""I hope this parcel didn't convoluted your journey.""<br/><br/>""I rode with it in the back of a truck."" Mossadeq chuckled. ""I miss real transportation.""<br/><br/>""I believe it was your office that chose to restrict methods of conveyance to this specific locale."" Sisi answered uncaringly. Now that the paper wrapping had been ripped away, he was holding a painting in his arms. <br/><br/>""What is that?"" Mossadeq asked.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Butcher Shop of the Anziques</span>"" Sisi answered with a satisfied sigh. He looked over it with all the gloating pride of a dedicated materialist. It was an old wood-cut print, depicting a nearly naked man quartering human bodies in a jungle hut. ""This is apt, is it not? Our European brethren once looked at us Africans like this.""<br/><br/>""It's vile."" Mossadeq said disapproving.<br/><br/>""Precisely."" Sisi exulted. ""It is the symbol of an ancient sort of Africa, perhaps once that never was. But it is apt because I have chose as my profession the betterment of our species through these exact methods. Of course..."" he walked across the room and hung it carefully in the place he had chosen. ""Of course, I have never partaken in the consumption of human flesh...""<br/><br/>""I am relieved."" Mossadeq interrupted. Sisi payed him no mind and continued to ramble.<br/><br/>""But my methods are surgical, and the craft of the surgeon is to make sense out of the practice of the butcher. I flay, peel, inject...""<br/><br/>""That is fine."" Mossadeq interrupted again. ""But I was sent here for other reasons. How is security here?""<br/><br/>""Security is your affair."" Sisi answered coldly. ""No patients have escaped if that is what you imply. And there are no implications that snooping eyes of the Hispanic persuasion ever haunt our gates.""<br/><br/>""So nobody comes, and nobody leaves?""<br/><br/>Sisi smiled. ""Well, you most certainly arrived. Do you want me to detain you, commander?""<br/><br/>""I heard a story in the village."" Mossadeq said, ignoring Sisi's jibe. ""They say that the government is here to build an army of from the ghosts of their ancestors. Why would they think ghosts?""<br/><br/>Sisi shrugged. ""Sometimes my students hunt hogs in the forest. Perhaps lab-coats are too otherwordly for the simple people of Equatoria?""<br/><br/>Mossadeq nodded. ""Do <span class=""bb-i"">you</span> ever worry about what might happen if the Spanish discover your work, Doctor? I am sure you understand the implications.""<br/><br/>""My good name would be wrenched through the mud I am sure."" Sisi replied. ""But I cannot be paranoid about such things.""<br/><br/>""It is my job to be paranoid."" Mossadeq replied. ""I want a plan in place to make this entire complex and all of the... experimentation here disappear in a moments notice.""<br/><br/>""Do what you did in Ta'if if you must."" Sisi waved his hands. ""There is a pit there, it can be done before tea. Just wait <span class=""bb-i"">until</span> you have to.""<br/><br/>""If it can be done, I will order it done."" Mossadeq said stubbornly, ignoring Sisi's facetiousness. <br/><br/>""Then it is most assuredly resolved."" Sisi smiled. ""Now tell me, how is your war?""<br/><br/>""I am in the Congo for more than you, Doctor. I have came to inspect our defenses. Hassan is retreating in Ethiopia...""<br/><br/>""Disappointing."" Sisi interjected.<br/><br/>""Yes. But there has been little action on our western border.""<br/><br/>""Just raiding and pilfering by the tribes."" Sisi nodded. ""I knew all of this though.""<br/><br/>Mossadeq looked at the good Doctor suspiciously. ""Yes. Well, I cannot tell you more. I am here for another reason. Hassan wants to see how his project is turning out.""<br/><br/>""Right."" Sisi answered. He had an inkling at why Mossadeq had traveled to the west. There were armies here sitting on the borders of the Spanish Empire, and they were not moving. Hassan would not abide an inactive front. ""Of course. Let me show you.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sisi gathered a handful of students and they walked with Mossadeq down the switchbacks that led into the mine. One of the students, a young Ethiopian wearing a gabi wrapped around his suit, held a frilled parasol above Sisi's head. The Doctor watched Mossadeq's face twist uncertainly as he studied the drone-like miners down below.<br/><br/>""You appear uncertain, Commander.""<br/><br/>Mossadeq frowned. ""The mine is spent. Why do you have men working it? And why are we going down here?"" <br/><br/>""This is my experimentation. Or rather, this is the experimentation that enthuses Ras Hassan.""<br/><br/>""Does mining have an effect on their psychology?""<br/><br/>""Perhaps."" Sisi shrugged. ""But that is not pertinent here. The human brain is a machine which, at birth, is designed by evolutionary processes to thrive and reproduce. Of course, these commands become entwined in the vagaries of nature and social interaction, and so the human brain is also designed to compensate. And that is what I have done here.""<br/><br/>""You have trained them is what you are saying?""<br/><br/>""Precisely."" Sisi replied with a singular enthusiasm. ""Or near enough to precise. They are more than just trained. In training, you are affecting the outer crust of the soul. It is all muscle memory and enforced routine. What I have done here is something else. Those men and women you see down in this pit, they are not trained to mine. They <span class=""bb-i"">yearn</span> for it. Only once they place a shovel in the ground do they feel like completed human beings. Think of it like sex...""<br/><br/>""You've trained them to sexually lust for mining?"" Mossadeq butted in. Sisi could tell that the commander had become suddenly quite uncomfortable.<br/><br/>""Well, no. Sex is a neural command placed in our possession by Darwinian processes. We lust for for reproduction because father time and mother necessity made our species to do so.""<br/><br/>""And you have made these people to lust for digging, just not sexually?""<br/><br/>""I can assure you commander."" Sisi grinned. ""These particular patients will not use their shovels for anything other than uncovering the earth. The purpose of your visit, I assume, is to answer Hassan's question. Can your government use this? The answer is yes. And, fortuitously, I have made strides with the specific case that Hassan wishes to complete.""<br/><br/>""The Walinzi?"" Mossadeq asked. ""Could we make our move before Addis Ababa falls?""<br/><br/>""I fear not, Commander Mossadeq. But I assure you that it will be finished in time to be useful.""<br/><br/>Mossadeq looked at the men around them. ""And them? Who knows?""<br/><br/>""The main experiment?"" Sisi responded. ""Only I. Only I."" <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Mossadeq left Sisi to his thoughts. The Doctor's mind was on politics now, which was not an area that he liked to consider unless he had too. Still, Mossadeq was not completely incorrect. Poking his nose into things he couldn't pretend to understand... well, that was his job, he was the director of the Walinzi. But in voicing his concerns, he had planted a seed of doubt. Dr. Sisi had been a smuggler for many years; he was used to slipping in and out of places without causing any long-lasting trouble for himself, but this time <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> different. He was beholden to an Empire and a General who's futures were no longer assured, and he had no way of escaping without completing his task. It was only then that he would be a free agent again. He wondered if the science he had bought with this awkward alliance was worth it.<br/><br/>He delicately dipped his pen in the crystalline inkwell and waited a moment. He imagined the distance between Bambari and the Spanish Empire. The border was far away, but he could not say how far it was, and he wondered how quickly the enemy could advance. In thinking about it, he realized how little he understood when it came to military matters. They would face resistance from the Ethiopian military, but how long would that take them? And then there was occupation, and logistics...<br/><br/>Sisi could only know so much. If he was going to complete his work, he had to keep his mind focused on the Scientific. He put pen to paper.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i""><br/>It occurs to me, in discussing the minutiae of my work, that every man<br/>who exercises some sort of power considers themselves layman psychologists. <br/>The easiest miscalculation for a powerful man to make is to assume that the <br/>management and manipulation of so many human beings can be quantified, and <br/>in so doing they damn themselves to perpetual delusion. Think of the lengths <br/>the physicists of the orient had to make in order to propel their equipment<br/>into space. One incorrect calculation or misunderstanding and their rocket<br/>apparatus would have exploded into a fine dust. It is easy for the physical<br/>scientist to see his failure because their work is so simple - it functions<br/>or it does not. But for a social scientist, our practice is foggy and peculiar,<br/>and for a leader who mistakes himself for a practicing social engineer, these <br/>peculiarities ruin their carefully laid plans. Humanity is infinitely more complex<br/>than a rocket, and when a leader presumes to understand the intricacies of the entire <br/>species, there is rarely a grandiose explosion to punctuate his error. <br/><br/>This, of course, kills the relevance of the rigid philosophy. Oh woe to the <br/>Comrade Chairman, or to <span class=""bb-i"">El Primer Ministro</span>. Everything they believe<br/>must be wrong, because they assume they can describe their respective societies<br/>with a single lonely one word. There are no Communes, There are no Democracies. <br/>Only facsimiles of these things exist.</span></div>"

A line of Chinese soldiers paraded from the south, lacking all indications of subtly. In full bombastic pride, the rigidly locked boots of the Chinese column parted the city's traffic as they sewn through the streets. For a moment, the city stopped to look at the foreigners brashly declaring their presence in not just number: but in color and sound.<br/><br/>For the Chinese, it was as if it were another march towards their African counterparts on the island of Pemba; a visit to the Ethiopian base down the road to conduct training exercises with the lost and disorganized misfits of the Ethiopian military. But the driving emotion that pushed Dezhi Cao to march briskly at his column's head, with his sandy-brown field cap drawn down over his brow, was not pride, or some peacock maneuver to declare his authority and a sense of superiority. It was simply that he knew nothing else.<br/><br/>He was an officer who long paraded himself through mediocrity and mediocre promotions. And it would be the parades that showed he could drag himself from the trench of gutless following and to assert himself. Whether or not the subtlety mattered was beyond him. He would announce himself clear to the Emperor's palace. The turned bewildered faces of the gawking Ethiopians were a minor matter on his mind. He put it instead on the Emperor.<br/><br/>Keeping their pace at his side trailed his staff. Sen Zhou, not drowned in the same desperation to prove herself as Cao, trailed behind much more aware of the people she assumed they were here to protect. How much were they going to be alienated by this? Was this really the sort of thing the Africans needed to see? By the empty look on Chen Wu's face, Zhou imagined the IB agent tied to Cao was at as much a loss as she was. But being IB, it was not hard to imagine the agent would have preferred a manner of subtlety. Now how many would know the Chinese were here?<br/><br/>Though as much as Zhou would have gone an announced presence, an armed military parade through the streets of Addis Ababa all the same felt inappropriate. Music and all. But she had to swallow that bit of doubt and the sudden lack of confidence it bore in her commanding officer.<br/><br/>The procession cut through the heart of the city and began to climb the streets of Addis Ababa's northern edge. Ascending upwards, they came to the street of the imperial residence. With brisk orders, Cao ordered the men to take positions along the side-walks, much like a general assembling his retinue before a liege-lord to present his intentions and the resources which he bore to conquer or assist. The demeanor should have been lost on even Africa, but Cao was in a different mind-set. The men re-grouped, holding red and orange banners with the scrolling writing of Chinese calligraphy in golden stitches. It wasn't deep in meaning, but a re-adoption of romantic imagery for heralding the units in parade. There was even a banner portrait of Hou Sai Tang, whose quiet features and short pointed beard glowed still and dead in the African noon sun, his face lacked the fine and deep lines that had cursed him with his age.<br/><br/>A wall of stone crowned in serrated iron poles separated Addis Ababa from the palatial grounds, itself a lake of emerald greens with the palace at its center. The complex stood adorning the center of the plush yard with a long flagstone walkway, like that from a villa in Western Europe. Groves of trees stood scattered in the yard, while individual trees lined the road and shaded the assembling soldiers from the sun. At the gates, the palace guard stood gawking. They, much like the Chinese parade, looked like something from an older era, with their white uniforms and pith helmets.<br/><br/>“Dezhi Cao, here to see emperor Yaqob Yohannes.” Cao proclaimed to a burly figure who took center position behind the ornamental iron gates of the palace. He leaned to the side on an ivory peg-leg. In his cold hard exterior Sen Zhou recognized on him a look of a soldier, well tested and experienced.<br/><br/>“I suppose so.” he answered, “Come on in, but you leave your army behind.” he invited coldly.<br/><br/>Cao gave a stiff bow before stepping inside. Zhou and Wu lingered outside the gate, though the look of impatience on the guard's face indicated he expected them both to follow. Hesitantly, they stepped through the gate and raced after Cao.<br/><br/>""Should we expect anything?"" Sen Zhou asked Wu in a hushed voice. She turned to look behind them, the red flags of their regiment fluttered in the afternoon breeze just beyond the wall. But more stunningly was the guard from the gate, who despite his missing leg kept his pace with them.<br/><br/>""Nothing."" Wu answered simply, folding his arms around behind his back. He looked over his shoulder to Zhou and with a bitter look elaborated, ""Cao will announce we're here to help, per our orders. Yaqob will give him orders, and we'll be out and I can have some tea.""<br/><br/>""Thrilling."" Zhou commentated.<br/><br/>As they caught up with their commander they slowed their pace. Together the trio stepped up onto the veranda of the Ethiopia palatial estate. Columned walls marched in either direction as they found the shade of the entryway and made their way to the door. An anxious pitted feeling filled Zhou's gut. It was one thing to charge into gun-fire, but a wriggling nervousness sedated her confidence to approach such an otherworldly extravagant mansion as Yaqob's.<br/><br/>""Yaqob will be waiting in the scroll room."" the guard said as he climbed up the steps. His false legged tapped loudly on the warm stone of the steps. He spoke without any particular patience towards the guests. ""I'll show you the way."" he beckoned as he opened the large, oily-dark doors of the palace structure.<br/><br/>With a step they entered through the door and were swallowed by the monstrous house. Stepping into its marble gullet and corridors.<br/><br/>'The scroll room'. It carried an almost ancient, edifying weight to its name. And between the three officers they believed the name was for some cavernous library, or ancient sanctuary. The very designation of such a space in a building as grand as this held a certain amount of pomp to it, like everything they passed. Ancient armors, paintings, and decorations hung from the wall or stood to the side in safely guarded niches or upon finely decorated pedestals and tables that turned the imperial corridors into less a home and more a museum. To picture a young child running between the suits of medieval Greek armor and ancient aboriginal suits seemed unnatural and unwise, it decorated their opinion of the regime further as being decadent.<br/><br/>The heavy battle-scarred guard though soon led them to the end of their voyage, stopping at a bamboo door. Although the heavy groans of the hinges inclined the three to believe the door was not bamboo, but was a false facade between them and the chamber inside. Dutifully and cautiously with heavy feet they followed the peg-legged figure into the dim confines of the scroll room.<br/><br/>The first to shock them was not resplendent decor, but the low dim light that filled the chamber. Soft amber light shone, copying the very light of a late evening. The bamboo covered floor under their weight sagged and sighed as they stepped inside, their eyes adjusted to the low light and they with-held what was almost a portal to home.<br/><br/>Adorning the walls hung long Chinese silk-scrolls. Between them were ancient Tang and Song pieces with fragile fraying ends and fading ink, and modern reproductions of the ancient styles contrasting the modern life of Hou's dream of an industrial China with the rural agrarian utopia of the classical kingdoms. Proudly set in the center of the room was a ceramic fountain. A serpentine long dragon hung wrapped around it, snarling fiercely with its dog-ish face, and water trickled between its legs.<br/><br/>""The Chinese to seek your audience, your highness."" said the guard.<br/><br/>The young emperor walked out from behind the fountain. His black robes flowed down to a pool that trailed behind him as he gently glided across the bamboo. He looked gently - if coldly - at the three Chinese officers present before them. ""Good afternoon, pleasure to meet you."" he greeted them.<br/><br/>""To you, comrade."" Cao bowed, giving the emperor the same curt stiff bow afforded of all Chinese, ""An impressive collection."" he complimented. A nervous tingling played in his tongue and danced in the back of his throat. He felt as if the words were a cloud of dry scratchy feathers, and he coughed them out with uncomfortable force.<br/><br/>To Zhou as well there was the same alienating sensation of being here. Made only the more complicated that she knew - or felt - the man's rank of Emperor was somehow inappropriate. Yet she still felt she should be standing before some remnant of the Qing regime and not the solemn mournful presentation of Yaqob. The feel was no less lost on Cao. But for Wu, he hid behind a distant shell. He merely observed.<br/><br/>""It is."" he said kindly, walking to the hanging scrolls, ""I acquired them over my stay in China. I find them charming, and beautiful."" he smiled as he pointed to them, ""Your culture is most fascinating. There is a shared heritage between us I think. Here we are, the two oldest nations on Earth, and we have came together in friendship."" He paused for moment, wet eyes fixed keenly on his guests. He only looked away when he motioned to one of the glass cases. ""These are commissioned works from Hou."" he continued approvingly, ""They were gifted to me. The older ones I acquired on my own. This one is from the early Song dynasty I am told. Look at the jagged features of the mountains and cedars. One thing I regret about my time in your country is that I never got to see the wild places that inspired works like these. Tell me, have you seen the mountains?"" <br/><br/>""These are commissioned works from Hou."" he continued approvingly, ""They were gifted to me. The older ones I acquired on my own.""<br/><br/>""They're very beautiful."" agreed Cao. He felt a close pain that they should be so in the way of the Spanish aggression and that when all else fails here: these may be a casualty of war. They were close, and familiar. A part of him as much as his blood was to China. There smoldered a guilty anger that the African noble had acquired these words - new and old - for a personal collection to boost a sense of self-important pride. It was like Europe's abuse of the heritage of the Spring Palace, and he was as much offended by the collection as he was with that. But he subdued that distaste for the sake of formality, ""I'm here on different issues."" he said. He felt that weight of war come back on his shoulders as he spoke those words.<br/><br/>""Yes."" Yaqob decoupled from the art. He moved away from it like a young mother being parted with her first child. ""I have been briefed. You want to prepare an evacuation. You should know that the Spanish advance is closing in on Dire Dawa. Hararghe is closed to you, which means we do not have direct access to the sea. We will have to rely on the less reliable roads in the south that lead to Mogadishu and Swahililand."" <br/><br/>""That's fine."" Dezhi Cao smiled, ""But I have access to airplanes of my own. If need be we could withdraw some of the civilian population to Pemba, and from there anywhere out of the way."" he paused for a minute, wondering if he was being polite enough of if any of this would lose him his rank or even freedom in Africa, ""Of course we can still see what can be done with Mogadishu or Swahililand, it's certainly an option open to us.""<br/><br/>""If you think that is efficient, I will support it."" Yaqob said diplomatically. ""I am not an expert on these sorts of operations, so I can only follow the lead of those who are. But come, lets not stand around in here. There isn't enough room, and there is only one bench. Will you join me for coffee?""<br/><br/>""Yes"" Cao said. He wasn't certain how to respond. Imperial pomp had scattered his wits, and now he was doing everything he could to maintain his professionalism. <br/><br/>""We will move out to the veranda."" Yaqob motioned. ""It'll be easier to talk in the open air."" <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""It would be safer if we take how many we can out of Africa."" Cao continued from earlier. He tapped his fingers on the small glass of coffee in his hands. The conversation had moved well outside, into the shade of a shaded veranda, looking out across the city below them.<br/><br/>The four men sat at a wooden table, shrouded in the protection of a overhanging eave. Bespeckled brilliant white marbled columns rose like tree trucks to the safe embrace of their roof. As they sat and sipped coffee, a warm mid-summer's brief drifted by, ruffling the uniforms of distant servants and attendants and the crowns of palms and trees that scratched from below.<br/><br/>Dezhi Cao felt estranged to have accepted an offer from an Emperor. And for it to be offered to such a mid-level officer as himself. He had politely refused, but Yaqob's polite insistence had persisted and he begrudgingly took the drink. Sen Zhou and Chen Wu themselves held small cups of the bitter African coffee as they sat in the shade of the marbled veranda.<br/><br/>""I just feel that if we were to take your people to Mogadishu or anywhere near to the coast would put them at risk."" he continued. The young Emperor reclined on the other side of a wooden table. ""I can bring them to Pemba, or whoever can. And from there we could move them as refugees out of the country, to China perhaps. Or having moved them from the front lines to deeper into Africa; further from the Spanish.""<br/><br/>""We cannot move them into the interior."" Yaqob said curtly. ""There is nowhere to put them there. You see, this country is not like your country. I don't know how to explain this but... well, here. Observe.""<br/><br/>Yaqob took the heated coffee pot and the extra cups and moved them, leaving an empty porcelain tray in the center of table. ""This is my country."" he said calmly ""It isn't the same shape of course, but just imagine it is my country."" And then, as sudden as a storm, Yaqob took his own cup of coffee and poured it onto the tray. Steaming black liquid pooled in the center, and spread out so that most all of the tray was covered except for the raised edges and some dry spots in the corners where the spilled coffee could not reach. ""If this tray is my country, the coffee is the places that I cannot control. We do not have cities there, and the only infrastructure in those places are a few roads and cramped government offices. In most of my country, I could not hope to feed refugees, or even house them. My government is mostly powerless in the coffee stained lands. I cannot even be certain if everybody in those places know they are part of a nation at all. And the places on the edges, like those on the tray that are not touched by the spill, are burdened and endangered by the war. The moment that Kinshasa falls, I will lose everything south of the Congo river and west of the Nile. That is almost half of my Empire. And when that falls, and Addis Ababa falls, what exactly will I have with which to protect refugees in the center? If you are going to understand my country, you need to understand that there are three keys to it. Ethiopia and her highlands is where our power is. Somalia and the Ogaden is loyal, but sparsely populated. That is where my grandfather drew his power from. The third key to this Empire is the Congo river. When those fall, I am only a sad ruler of dirt, and I can do nothing to protect my people.""<br/><br/>""Then there's not too many places for me to put your people that would put them out of the Spaniard's way, and I'd rather not want to find out what would happen."" Cao admitted strongly, ""Let me take them to China. I can request further aerial support. Those we don't have room for can attempt the trip to Mogadishu or Swahililand when or if I lose time.<br/><br/>""Admitting, though I can do this for Addis I may not be able to do it with all of Africa; if I can reach them all.""<br/><br/>To the side, Chen Wu gave his commander a cynical look. Subtle as to be hidden from the emperor. But Cao could feel the cold sharpness of his eyes crawling on him. For a moment it was there, then it was gone.<br/><br/>Yaqob smiled. ""I do not think you have the resources to move most of Ethiopia, let alone most of Africa."" The Emperor reached out and placed his hand on Cao's. The officer recoiled uncomfortably, clearly confused but polite about it all the same. Yaqob continued to speak. ""But I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see that my ally cares so much. I do not know if I will survive this war, and I fear what will become of this continent when I am gone. My people will fight for their right to live, and it is good to know that you will fight for them as well.""<br/><br/>Yaqob's hand broke away when a servant came to fetch the coffee-drenched tray. He swapped it for a new one, and his presence brought a pause in the conversation.<br/><br/>""I want you to focus on taking the people who can rebuild the nation when the Spaniards are defeated. Many in the government have fled to Gondar, but I can call back some of the non-essential personnel. I also want you to focus on the university students and men who own wealth in the capital. These are the people who you will need. Of course, I must say, they probably will not all accept your invitation. In fact, it might be rather hard for you to collect many willing refugees at all, aside from peasants from the villages.""<br/><br/>""We can see what we can do."" Cao answered stiffly, ""It is the least that I can practice at the least. If some would refuse and find themselves on the wrong side of Spain and there was nothing I can do then regretfully: so be it."" he took a measured breath. He felt a tinge of guilt. A part of him asked the question on if he could force people away. But what would the good in it be if they were prisoners? <br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Beijing</div><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">July 13th, 1980 - Present</span><br/><br/>“... Of a vote three-hundred ninety for, eighty-five against, and twenty-five absentee, this international congress does agree to commit this body to a state of war against the Spanish Republic.” the tape recorder crackled and popped, “On this date: July third, 1980 the Third International declares its intention for war against Spain, obligating its members to commit to the cause a body of soldiers, resources, and equipment to the current conflict in Africa. This deceleration shall be made to the Republic of Spain itself, as properly regarded and observed under international practice.”<br/><br/>A distorted, muffled bout of cheering filled the room, momentarily drowning out the speakers voice as it warbled back into prominence through the grainy hum of feedback and background noise, “-ations under the jurisdiction of and membership to the International are required to make their obligations for the following objectives:<br/><br/>“Firstly, to initiate in combat with the Spanish Republic on the intended purpose of military and political withdrawal from Africa if not the disarmament of the Spanish military for this incursion on sovereign territory this body has agreed to defend. In doing so: the international commanding body shall be drawn and elected to oversee the operations into and within the Pan-African Empire.<br/><br/>“Secondly, given the likelihood of sustainable damage in this conflict, we commit ourselves to rebuilding the Ethiopian state should it sustain any degree of damage to its self: administrative, infrastructural, or economic. We will lend our abilities: our strengths. And in doing so be of benefit to the African people and their liberty and freedoms, to defend them from imperial powers.”<br/><br/>Again, there was another bout of applause and cheering as the tape cut off silent, the reels stopping dead as the reader was shut off.<br/><br/>“We had several day's time.” Hou said in a low voice as he leaned on his cane, resting his pointed beard on the gnarled knuckles of his hands. He looked down at it with a strong look of apprehension. It was a dark cloud to him, and he heard thunder in what he heard as jingoistic cheers. “But now that it's been done it's time we lay it out.”<br/><br/>He looked up at the men gathered at the table, they were again in the basement of the army headquarters. The spartan décor of the conference room glowed with the sterile light of florescent and hummed the low song of cycling air conditioning. Outside it would be a hot day, and vendors would be prowling the streets hawking chilled fruits and cold drinks.<br/><br/>The full command was present here, and several other guests. Xiaogang Wen and Yue Zen being the most prominent of the non-military bodies present. Their civilian uniforms stood out like sore thumbs among the drab green, blues, and grays of military accompaniment. Or the glimmer of metals on the chest of the generals. Their faces too were at contrast, uncomfortable and awkward as they shared the same air with the martial command of the entire Chinese military. Yue Zen herself appeared coldly out of place as she danced nervously under her red-silk gown.<br/><br/>“I already took obligations to re-mobilize the Pemba garrison.” Lou Shai Dek began, his voice dropped, “As you are aware. For the benefit of some of us: Cao Wen and his men are to see to duties in Addis Abada. According to him, he's to assist the Ethiopians in evacuating Addis Ababa.”<br/><br/>“It could perhaps take time.” Jan Jang spoke, “So I wouldn't imagine they could get to Yaqob right away. He's surely a busy man.<br/><br/>“Though his wife and son are in his care, which must be a burden released from his shoulders at least.” he said in a positive tone. The comment was directed towards Hou, as the commander turned to look at the chairman. “What are the Queen and heir apparent's residency statuses?” he inquired.<br/><br/>“They're staying at my home.” Hou answered, “For the time being.”<br/><br/>“Charity is nice.” smiled Jang, “And if you wouldn't mind me adding comrade, it's perhaps about time you invited a woman to stay with you.” he laughed.<br/><br/>His laughter told cold however and died as he saw Hou's dissatisfied look. He turned to uncomfortable caws and chocked coughs as he adjusted himself in his seat. Yan Sing looked from Hou to the commander with a cold look of with held knowing, tapping a cigarette against the table. “Your trying to lighten the mood is appreciated but not appropriate.” scolded Hou.<br/><br/>“Forgive me, comrade.” Jang bowed, rising out of his chair.<br/><br/>“Just sit down!” Hou ordered. Punctuating the command with a hard knock of the cane against the floor, “The issue at hand: what is it? Do we have anything more?”<br/><br/>“The Vietnamese parliament has already rose their own bar for obligations by declaring war on Spain themselves.” Wen Daohang spoke from the far-side of the room. He loitered like an elderly ghost against the wall. He was a frail figure of advanced age. Older even than Hou: and not as powerful a figure by any means.<br/><br/>“The official statement very much mirrors that of the International's deceleration but it moves them to greater personal obligation. The Quân Đội Nhân Dân is without a doubt going to be set up to be moved.<br/><br/>“Unofficially, I suppose the move is possibly symbolic and I was asked to forward a request to Jan Jang and Han Shen for assistance, hoping it might be part of the Comintern obligations. But we're going to need to exact scale of our obligations from parliament, so it's a pending request right now.”<br/><br/>“Do the Vietnamese lack that sort of resources?” asked Yue Zen.<br/><br/>“Afraid so.” Daohang expressed regretfully, “They have some, but they're not equipped to move nearly that far or to move that many men so quickly.”<br/><br/>“Understood, I'll wait on Congress.” Han Shen agreed, “When do our departments expect this?”<br/><br/>“They'll convene tomorrow to vote.” the congressional secretary answered with no due ceremony, “Since the International's decision the prospect of going to war like our comrades to the south has gained traction. It's not enough to seal a majority, but with time it'll happen. But there will be enough support for sure to determine our obligations.”<br/><br/>“How did they take the news about Pemba being moved, if I can ask?” inquired Hou.<br/><br/>“No movement. I don't think they heard or cared.” smiled Wen, “Or really, since they were there on an existing mission it's hard for them to write it off so it's not being tried. Shai Dek could march them to the western borders and they can't challenge it.”<br/><br/>“An intriguing offer but I don't think so.” smiled Lou, “But I got a notice that I assume means I'm the International Commander, Hou signed off on the order. So I may be able to do that.”<br/><br/>“Pulling two commands at once, that I must say is impressive.” Sing spoke up, his voice soft like a hissing snake.<br/><br/>“We're no longer any young lieutenants anymore.” scoffed and already exacerbated Lou Shai Dek, “I can't say I'm not looking forward to it.”<br/><br/>“For once one of our own gets the honor and privileged to fight the Spanish!” Han Shen cheered, “It's been a few years, not since Aurora. But that was only one engagement with the Americans and not the whole war.”<br/><br/>“The last foe any of us fought on par with Spain would have been the Japanese.” Jan Jang barked.<br/><br/>“We shouldn't focus on nostalgia, not right now.” Hou reminded them bitterly. Jang looked about nervously, then resigned himself to silence. “Comrade Wen, do you need anything?”<br/><br/>“I could use a request to take before Congress,” he said, “Something less than all-out war, but will maintain image among the International. I don't get the impression you don't want to push conflict prematurely, comrade Hou.”<br/><br/>“No, I don't.”<br/><br/>“That is well.” Wen conceded.<br/><br/>“We maintain the Pemba detachment's importance in Africa.” Lou spoke up, “That's a sure given. I can order the nation-side reserve to be prepared for deployment. It won't make them happy without knowing who's going or when they're going. And for that we can probably send a unit to Africa alongside the international force.<br/><br/>“I'll be meeting with the rest of the commanding body, and we will find out where out staging ground should be. With the Ethiopian Navy destroyed we can expect it to be obviously hairy. So for certain we'll need naval resources; no one else in the Comintern has an effective naval force for this level of projection, the weight – in Asia at least – is on us.”<br/><br/>“The commanding agent close to Radek has given me a report that Radek is keen on seeing some sort of raiding detail done against Spanish commercial assets.” Sing spoke up in his cold unwavering voice, “He's met recently with Shen Shao. He hasn't been keyed into the details, but there's an expectation from him that he feel we have a tactical asset in the west with the submarine squadron idling away at Arkhangelsk.”<br/><br/>“The Bohai will be a terrifying asset against Spain. Shao was the man responsible for sinking the Vanguardia.” Shen reminded them, “Given the permission, he should be utilized.”<br/><br/>“Is there a place in the modern world for piracy though?” an aghast Yue Zen nearly shouted, “This isn't the 18th century. The world has laws against that!”<br/><br/>“No one ever punished the Great Powers in Europe for it.” said Shen, “The idea isn't totally invalidated if Europe looses some cargo and capital at sea. Especially the Spanish.”<br/><br/>“I'll see to it that Congress is known.” acknowledged Wen, “Let them argue the finer points. If Hou'll sign off on it.”<br/><br/>“I will.” the chairman promised.<br/><br/>“What's the status of the Russian conflict?” Hou asked Lou, “In this event we were going to allocate men there to Africa. Is Huei Wen ready?”<br/><br/>“No. No he is not.” Shai Dek conceded with remorse, “He hasn't made gains that he's comfortable with. Given our exchanges I doubt he would be complacent with a move and strictly advises a withdrawal from Russia of any kind. The conditions of fighting he says is far too fluid; even with the gains he's made.<br/><br/>“I believe by the time he's seized the Urals he might reconsider the option for a drawback.”<br/><br/>“Likewise Turkestan isn't ready.” Daohang gently cut in, “Their government is eager. But not so eager. Our men are their supplement at the border. There's a deep concern that if we were to leave there would be far less guns to keep the Russian Mafiya from entering their country. If even as a transit stop. So we can't see to an end to our military mission there.”<br/><br/>“Delays all around, it'll be from native garrisons then.” Wen concluded, “I'll let Congress know this.”<br/><br/>“It might be looked at as escalatory, and dangerous...” Jan Jang nervously interjected. He held his mouth for a moment as he looked over the present heads as they turned to him, “But we could utilize the GHH program in the future to perform their intended purpose over the field of battle in Africa.<br/><br/>“The accuracy will be questionable. But it's the only real, long-range resource we have at our hands. Something by which to bomb the front from here at home.<br/><br/>“Should it come down to it, when it does: then we could use it to target the Suez.” he rapped his fingers nervously on the desk, “So far they've been successful in recon on Spanish Africa. But they haven't ever had a combat mission outside of evaluation and training.<br/><br/>“But, it could be showing our hand early. And do we need the Spanish to push to meet us in the upper atmosphere like that?”<br/><br/>“No, hardly.” Shai Dek admitted hesitantly, “It's an option to consider, but one we should leave on the side. The tactical advantages would be a benefit but we don't know what Spain will do once they figure it out. We'll save it when the conflict escalates.”<br/><br/>“Noted, all of it.” Hou spoke, “Last thing: do we perhaps know if Spain will simply back out of this? Daohang?”<br/><br/>“There hasn't been any scuttling demands to meet at the table for peace yet, but any belligerent or third party. This may be the big one, or we're scared of Spain.<br/><br/>“But I'll look into composing demands they cease hostilities and move a statement out. Is the official stance condemnation?”<br/><br/>“Of course it is.” Hou wheezed, coughing lightly into his shoulder, “See what you can do and if maybe. And see if the rule of the last ten years applies.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Guilin, Guangxi</div><br/><br/>A rare breath of fresh hair. A short break from the rush of a campaign. If only for a day, Auyi was home. With his legs stretched out, he sat leaning over a note-book, frantically scribbling down the short sharp characters in the composition of a speech. For what: he didn't know. But having poured so much thought on the road, the river never stopped to flow. Auyi even could not stop to claim to know the topic as it swayed organically through the valleys of his hand-writing. Cutting a course in short sharp lines and dots.<br/><br/>The summer in Guangxi wasn't merciful, though hardly stifling. The foreboding humidity of spring was on its way out, but the sun was at its peak over the valley of the Li River. But it was hardly a matter of issue as Auyi sat composing his thoughts in the shade of his veranda, a glass of tea on the wicker table alongside him.<br/><br/>Echoing distantly from the river below the urging song and chant of the lone fisherman echoed up the bank and among the softly rustling trees. Auyi glanced up off the book to the river below. Dancing in the river's meditative languid bends an old man on a bamboo raft gently bobbed up and down as he sung to and encouraged a flock of cormorants to bring to him fish. The day was quiet, and the water calm and smooth, and the elderly fisherman had the entire river to himself. He was in his world as much as Auyi.<br/><br/>He turned his attention away from the river and the sugar-loaf mountains along its banks to the writing at hand. Again, the scribbling of the pen danced across the bleached white parchment of his notebook as his flow of thought continued unimpeded. Thoughts on the Comintern's recent decision and its weight flowed into thoughts on China's greater importance on a world stage. He wondered on paper if the hermit empire could – and if its time had come – to exert itself upon the world stage.<br/><br/>There was a noise to Auyi's left that rose his attention from his writing. With a sour look he turned to look to the veranda's door. There standing, shivering with his face pale was Auyi's campaign manager. Chen Wu, whose normally stretched mousy face had become even more taught stood leaning against one of the porch's posts. It didn't take long for Auyi to realize something was up. Folding his book over his pen he placed it alongside his tea as he rose. “Comrade...” he spoke softly, “Something's up?” he inquired.<br/><br/>He could feel his own tensity. Wu's eyes were wide behind his wide bottle-glass spectacles.<br/><br/>“Something is very, very wrong.” he sighed. He leaned his mouth into the inside of his elbow as he turned to look at the river and mountain valley.<br/><br/>“Well what is it?” Auyi asked concerned. It couldn't be his family, they were here at home. It couldn't be Bao Yu, she was in the kitchen preparing for dinner. And Jie was in his room, playing with wooden horses. This was something greater, larger.<br/><br/>“Duang Wu was attacked on the campaign trail.” Chen Wu answered in a hushed voice. He turned back to look inside, urgently gesturing his hands he pulled Auyi to the side, “I was just informed fifteen minutes ago by the Central National Police in Beijing,” the manager continued as he pulled Auyi from the door and windows, to a distant corner of the deck.<br/><br/>Pinning himself against the corner beam he continued, his own tone of voice high and stressed. But very much hushed, concerned someone would be listening, “There was an explosive, planted or thrown somewhere near the stage he was giving a speech on. A piece of metal pierced his chest, he bled out before they could get him to a hospital.”<br/><br/>“No shit...” Auyi commented, aghast and stricken, “Do they know who did it? Why?” Auyi had worked with Duang Wu prior, he was a loud man; but he was vibrant. He shared great support for Auyi's intentions as a minister.<br/><br/>“I-I got nothing. N-no details.” Chen Wu admitted. His voice was weakening. Whether it was sadness or fear was a dangerous question; it could be both.<br/><br/>“Well... How's his family?” Auyi asked, if there was any question more human to ask: it was that.<br/><br/>“I- ah... I-I- they'll be fine.” Wu stammered, “A-atleast I don't think anyone was trying to attack t-them. Ah- uh, they'll no doubt receive his pension and compensation, he – Duang – technically died in office after all. So they'll... They'll get something.”<br/><br/>Auyi nodded. A dark cloud had flown low over his mind. A terrible thought that was getting more dangerous than it should crept cold fingers into his consciousness. “I don't want this to happen again.” Auyi demanded, “No one – me, my family, you, or the people – can't be put in harms way. Can you get in contact with the national police, see what you can do with stepped up security?”<br/><br/>“Handoi Hu is no doubt looking into that and organizing something.” a shuddering Chen Wu said, “But OK. Yes, I will.”<br/><br/>“Good, good...” Auyi smiled. But it was weak. Another false mask to wear. He chewed idly on his lips as he looked up passed his manager to the mountains, “Was anyone else hurt?”<br/><br/>“Eight others, two died from the explosion, four suffered severe injuries, I don't know about the other two.”<br/><br/>“Right.” nodded Auyi, he looked back towards the house, “Try to keep it quiet around Bao Yu, I don't want her upset. But for a while can you keep her distant from my campaign? Just in case something happens.”<br/><br/>“It'll be for the best.”<br/><br/>“Thank you.”</div>"

Country, called such because he came from Arkansas or some other hick place, was currently leading the Ohio League in home runs, runs batted in, and batting average. County swung the bat in his hands a few times in practice. Billy saw his large biceps flex with each swing. Years of working in fields and throwing bales of cotton had created those muscles. Although a colored man, Country was the best player on the Mud Hens and without a doubt one of the best in the whole Ohio League.<br/><br/>""C'mon, Country,"" Billy yelled with the rest of the team.<br/><br/>The game today marked Billy's tenth with the club since joining them as a batboy. He found the ball field a few hours after he and Clark Johnson jumped off the train they had hid on all the way from Detroit. Clark found work a day or two after they got to Toledo. It was welding workd in a machine shop for damn good pay for a colored man, especially compared to what he was making back in Detroit. He asked around and found a job for Billy with the steel foundry next door. Maybe in the fall and winter, Billy had said. For now he was all about baseball.<br/><br/>Mud Hens manager Phil Lagrange said he had a full team in the middle of the season and couldn't put him on the roster. But he saw that hunger in Billy's eyes, he must have recognized it as something he had a long time ago. Billy just wanted to be on and around the baseball diamond, regardless of what he was doing. He watched Billy play and was impressed, so he cut a deal with him. Billy got to hang around and take in the sights and be the team's batboy in exchange for an option to try out for the team next year, or if they were in dire need of an emergency player he could play some this year. <br/><br/>Country stepped to the plate and choked up on the bat. It was the bottom of the sixth, Mud Hens up 4-3 to the Sandusky Snappers. The pitcher on the mound had been throwing heat all game long, but he was inaccurate as hell. Plenty of his fastballs were meatballs. Early in the third, Skeeter Collins sent one ball rocketing out over the left field fence for two runs. Country himself had knocked in two runs the next inning with a line drive that moved so fast it had steam on it. Now with the pitcher on the mound getting tired, his velocity going down along with his accuracy, this was where Country thrived.<br/><br/>After two wide pitches set up the count for 2-0, the third pitch came across the plate and hit Country right in the left thigh. He fell backward onto the ground and started hollering. Billy and the rest of the Mud Hens were on their feet shouting, threating to come out of the dugout and tear that son of a bitch to pieces.<br/><br/>""Sit the hell down!"" Lagrange shouted over the din. ""Sit down, all of you! Ain't nobody fighting here today!""<br/><br/>He went out to the plate while the rest of the team watched warily from in the dugout. Lagrange helped Country to his feet and, with the help of the Snapper's catcher, got him limping back into the dugout. Country took his hat off and tossed it to the ground.<br/><br/>""Fuck!""<br/><br/>""Calm down,"" Lagrange said as he tore open Country's pants and looked at his leg. ""It's a bruise. A deep fucking one that'll take a few days to heal, but I'm sure ain't nothing broke, Country.""<br/><br/>Lagrange stood and looked around the dugout while Country kept cursing up a storm. The old manager's blue eyes cut through the ruckus and commotion inside the dugout before they fell on Billy. <br/><br/>""Carter.""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir.""<br/><br/>Billy suddenly noticed the noise had died down. You could hear a pin drop, but all Billy could hear was his own heartbeat.<br/><br/>""I need a pinch runner for Country. You still wanna play ball?""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir,"" he said in a voice that sounded more like a croak than his actual voice.<br/><br/>""Then get ready, son.""<br/><br/>Lagrange went out to talk to the ump about the change while two of the Mud Hens turned Billy around and drew on his back. As a ballboy, his shabby uniform didn't have a number. Using a piece of charcoal they scratched a double-aught on his back. <br/><br/>""Get 'em kid,"" one of them said as they ruffled his hat.<br/><br/>""Run like hell, boy!""<br/><br/>Billy trotted out onto the field while Lagrange waved at him on the way back to the dugout. He took his place and first and took a deep breath. A fair sized crowd were here today, not too many people can come to a ball game on a weekday afternoon, but it was more people than Billy had ever played in front of that was for damn sure. Mike Carlton, the first base coach, patted him on the shoulder. The Snapper's first baseman eyed Billy sideways. The man, he may have been in his early 20's but compared to Billy he was fully a man, spat a wad of tobacco juice on the dirt and got set.<br/><br/>The staticky PA system in the stands crackled to life. ""Pinch running for Country Jones is... 00, Willy Carter.""<br/><br/>Billy looked back at Carlton with wide eyes.<br/><br/>""They got my name wrong, coach!""<br/><br/>""It's not the end of the world, son. Now pay attention.""<br/><br/>""Now batting, 21, third baseman Matthew Robinson.""<br/><br/>Matt came to the plate and took a few practice swings. A white boy from Indiana, Matt was more of a solid contact hitter than a home run threat. He hit his share of bombers this season, but nothing compared to Country. Shit, nobody except the big leaguers were keeping pace with Country. Billy watched the signals from the third base coach and took his lead. With a one-run lead, they'd be looking for insurance, but Lagrange never got too aggressive with it. Billy didn't get the green light to steal from the third base coach, but he still took his usual long lead.<br/><br/>The pitcher stared at him long and hard before winding up and tossing a hard one to the plate. Matt fouled it off right behind the plate. Had he been just a second earlier with his swing, that ball would be halfway to Canada. Billy took another long lead, sliding back to first after a failed pickoff attempt sent dirt flying in the air. Billy dusted himself off and smiled. He was in the pitcher's head now. It was just like playing ball back home in Detroit. Another long lead, another pickoff attempt that Billy beat back to first. <br/><br/>Finally, he threw to Matt. It was a meatball that Matt got around on and sent screaming out to right field. Billy started running at the sound of contact. The line drive bounced into right field as Billy was rounding second. The right fielder out there got a good hop on it and was scooping it into his glove while Billy was halfway between second and third. He saw the stop sign the third base coach was making as he raced towards the bag. Billy had but one thought:<br/><br/>Fuck that.<br/><br/>He shot around third and was running towards home with a full head of steam. He saw the ball coming from right field in a straight shot. Right fielder had one hell of an arm, Billy thought in those few seconds between third and home. The only concession he would make was that going home might not have been the best idea. The catcher was standing at the plate, eyes glued on the ball as it came from right field. I was a simple foot race at this point, Billy's feet against the ball.<br/><br/>He got low and slid for home. The dust kicked up, but he could hear the snap of the catcher's mitt and feel it slap him on the back. But not before his long fingers touched home plate. <br/><br/>""Safe!"" The ump yelled.<br/><br/>Billy stood up, covered in dirt and dust and pumped his fist. The hometown crowd cheered and applauded while Matt Robinson was still on first base clapping. Billy walked to the dugout and to a round of back slaps and handshakes from the rest of the team. Lagrange wrapped a meaty arm around his shoulder and pulled him in close.<br/><br/>""That was a thing of beauty, kid,"" he said in Billy's ear. ""But you ignore my third base coach again, I'll fucking break your neck.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Washington, D.C.</span><br/><br/>""Traci, get in here right now!""<br/><br/>Traci Lord looked up from her cubicle office at her name being bellowed across the offices of the <span class=""bb-i"">Washington Post</span>, her home for the last few months. Scowling, she stood up and walked through the bullpen with all eyes on her. Bill Bussey, the <span class=""bb-i"">Post</span>'s managing editor, had a stare that could cut through steel. But Traci had already learned that his bark was far worse than his bite. She saw a copy of her story in his hands as she entered his office. <br/><br/>""What is this shit?""<br/><br/>""It's a story, sir. You know, letters arranged into words, words arranged into sentences, and so on and so on until a narrative takes shape.""<br/><br/>Bussey scowled at Traci for a moment before sliding his reading glasses on his pointy Roman nose and reading her story. <br/><br/>""'Congressman Harlan Lewis' House bill to fund the African war effort against Spain is a step in the right direction, a step that can lead to strides if the Norman Administration is willing to end its continuous stalling on foreign affairs.' You don't see a problem with that?""<br/><br/>Traci shrugged. ""It's an op/ed article, Bill. My opinion and not the paper's.""<br/><br/>""You all but called the president chicken-shit.""<br/><br/>""My opinion, Bill.""<br/><br/>Bussey's scowl deepened, his face turning a shade of red. ""The paper endorsed Norman, we like Norman.""<br/><br/>""Oh, I like him too,"" said Traci. ""But he's letting Congress dictate the pace of is foreign policy. It's--""<br/><br/>""Not very presidential?"" Bussey asked with a raised eyebrow.<br/><br/>""I was going to say chicken shit,"" she said with a smirk. ""But that works too.""<br/><br/>""Whatever you think, I'm rejecting the column.""<br/><br/>""What?!"" Traci's eyes went wide. It was all she could do to keep from going across the desk and tackle Bussey to the ground.<br/><br/>""We didn't hire you for your op/eds, Traci. We want stories, Traci Lord stories. I want you out in the field, reporting events as they happen. Like that embedded story you did in China. That artist?""<br/><br/>She turned a shade of red. Everyone brought up that story. A year in China ended up with a twelve-part series for the <span class=""bb-i"">New York Times</span> about the day to day life in the People's Republic. She spent time with everyone from the politicians on down to beggars in the street. The series was a smash hit at home and made her a known name in journalism. She'd spent most of that year with a dashing painter named Mei. Mei had more skill in the bedroom than he ever did on the canvas, a fact that came through when he painted Traci's portrait. <span class=""bb-i"">The Badly Drawn Lady</span> was the name the wits at the Foreign Correspondents Association in Bejing gave the painting when the saw it. The story had circulated around press corps and news services until it became the stuff of legends.<br/><br/>""Bill, I--""<br/><br/>""You know what I mean, Traci,"" he said with hand up to stall her protest. ""You are a known quantity now, sure. And we did promise you editorial pages, something we've been living up to. But this bill going through the House could have serious consequences. I want you roaming the Capitol day and night, talking to everyone in Congress about it. Take the mood of the place and track the course of the bill. I want drama, Traci. I want the type of drama only you can give to a story. That is ten times more powerful than any opinion you can provide, can you do that?""<br/><br/>Traci nodded after a moment's deliberation.<br/><br/>""I'll make some phone calls and head to the Capitol as soon as I can.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chicago</span><br/><br/>Johnny Leggario cracked his knuckles and settled back into the seat of his car. Six hours into the stakeout and he had settled in for a long haul. The house he was sitting on was a dump, a scorched husk of a building that someone torched years ago. It was the perfect place for squatters and people trying to lay low. Johnny had Carl the Wop to thank for leading him here. Carlo Di Pietro ala Carl the Wop, capo to the Greek and one of the many cogs in the Outfit, managed a dozen bookie shops on the Northside of the city for the Greek. Johnny spent three days boning up on Carl the Wop through his contacts, following the man and his family as they went about their day to day tasks.<br/><br/>Carl's bio read like a million others who joined the Life, always written out with an uppercase L. He was old school, joined the Outfit when he was still a teenager during Capone's heyday. Purse snatching led to strongarm robberies which led to hijacking and running numbers. Sixty years old and Carl had climbed as far on the criminal ladder as he could go. To some, that would mark Carl as a suspect for the robberies. He couldn't get past the Greek, so he was letting his own joints get heisted and splitting the money. He got paid and got to rub shit in the old man's eye. <br/><br/>The clues that tipped Johnny off to the real culprit were long sleeves and itchy arms. Carl's youngest son, Carlo Jr., still lived with his folks at the age of thirty. Johnny watched him coming and going the past few days. He always wore long sleeve shirts and always picked at his arms when he walked down the street. It took Johnny all of ten minutes to peg Carlo as a junkie, the sleeves hiding the track marks that itched so bad when the kid needed a fix. He followed Carlo to a shooting gallery near Jefferson Park. From there Johnny followed the guy Carlo copped from which led him to a stash house in Forest Glen. A small pack of four dealers worked out of the house. Four dealers, a four-man crew ripping off bookie spots, a weak junkie whose father ran the bookmaking shops, a junkie that could trade information for a fix.<br/><br/>He waited another four hours before he made his move. It was five in the morning when Johnny slipped on a pair of canvas gloves and carried a six shot revolver with a suppressor attached to the end under his sports jacket. He looped around the back of the building and came through a broken window, slow and quietly to avoid noise and cuts from the shards of glass around the building. Johnny pulled the gun out along with a flashlight covered in tape, emitting only a pin-sized light to use as a guide. He held his nose when he passed by three buckets that had been used as latrine. It took him ten minutes to find their stash tucked away in a baseboard near the fireplace. Nearly a hundred grand in crisp twenty dollar bills inside a satchel, not the type of money junkies handed over for Horse. No, this was the type of money the Greek's places carried before a big payout was coming. In addition to the cash, Johnny found a half pound of uncut H, two shotguns, and six pistols. He tucked the money, dope, and guns into the satchel and swung it over his shoulder.<br/><br/>Johnny slowly glided up the rickety stairs like a ghost. Muscle memory kicked in when he reached the landing where the crew was sleeping. Check the corners, clear the rooms, plan your escape, kill as soon as you have eyes on the target. Just like he'd been taught. The four guys were passed out on piss-stained mattresses. Johnny kept the flashlight beam low and aimed. Recoil shot up his elbow as he fired off four quick shots. The rounds hissed through the room, four bullets exploding the four men's heads. He reloaded and fired off four more to each man's heart to be sure they were dead. His task done, calmly walked out into the early morning air. Johnny tucked the revolver into his jacket and climbed into the car, driving six blocks away before tossing the gun and his gloves in a trash can beside the road.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Who the fuck are you?""<br/><br/>Carl the Wop sized Johnny up like a piece of meat. He stood on the doorstep of the man's impressive townhouse, impassively meeting the mobster's gaze.<br/><br/>""I'm Johnny Legs. You know who I am, who I work for. Let's take a ride.""<br/><br/>The look of recognition filled Carl's eyes, quickly followed by fear. He knew what Johnny did, and why he was visiting him like this. Johnny saw a tremble in his lip, his eyes beginning to show moisture.<br/><br/>""Oh, God... Please--""<br/><br/>""If I was going to kill you you'd be dead already,"" Johnny said with slight annoyance. ""Let's take a ride.""<br/><br/>Thirty minutes later they were sitting in Johnny's car, parked outside a coffee shop ten blocks away from Carl's home. Johnny retold the story, the guys robbing the Greek's shops, following the trail and killing the four men, and of course Carl's own son.<br/><br/>""Look... I know my son has had problems, and me and my wife we've tried to help him... but... you...""<br/><br/>""You know who I work for,"" Johnny said again with a cool tone. ""I'm offering you the chance to do it on your son's terms. Bobby C. will hold you and your family responsible for this theft. If he has his way, I'm gonna come back to your house with four more guys and we'll chop your entire family to pieces.""<br/><br/>Carl the Wop slumped forward in the seat and began to shake as he sobbed. Johnny ignored him and instead pulled a covered syringe from his coat pocket.<br/><br/>""This spike is loaded up with pure heroin. I don't care if your boy is a goddamn dope fiend, this much pure H will kill him. It's either the OD or that other option I mentioned. Either give it to him or inject him tonight when he's asleep, but he does not live to see tomorrow.""<br/><br/>Johnny slipped the syringe into Carl's jacket while the man continued to cry. He felt a stab of remorse and something else much more powerful. Johnny realized it was envy. If Jimmy Leggario would have been faced with this same dilemma, he knew Jimmy would not hesitate to sacrifice his son to save his own ass.<br/><br/>Carl the Wop went back home somber and quiet. They rode in silence, the only time Carl acknowledged Johnny at all was a short nod to him as he got out the car and went into his house. For an old soldier like Carl, the nod was final acceptance to do what needed to be done. Johnny hit a nearby payphone and called Stein to tell him that the job was completed. He told the lawyer to notify the Bobby C. to check the papers and he'd find five deaths on the Northside all within the same day of each other, a quadruple homicide, and one OD. The lawyer gave his appreciation and told Johnny where to drop off the cash and drugs he had recovered. The money for the job would be waiting for him when he arrived home that night. <br/><br/>Johnny started up his car and headed back home. It wouldn't be long before he got another phone call with another job and another person who needed to be hurt. Johnny hated himself, not because he was becoming his old man, but because he <span class=""bb-i"">had</span> become his old man. He glanced up in the car's rearview mirror and wasn't entirely sure who it was he saw staring back at him.</div>"

It was high summer now, and the heat was brutal. They were sweating away their water supply as quick as they could drink to replace it. Their survival depended on getting out of this dreaded country and back to their own kind, but that meant miles more to go.<br/><br/>The heat was effecting their cars as well. Radiators drank up water just as quickly as the people, and the cruel sand storms of the red desert had a way of gunking up their engines. That was the way it was with sand. It got into everything; their clothes, their hair, their food, and every crevice of their bodies. And no matter how much desert they crossed, there always seemed to be more to go. <br/><br/>They were having some luck, however. They were leaving the chaos around Cairo, and that meant less danger. Most of the violence of the post-Ottoman chaos was contained in the north. There was a Turkish governor, Eyup Pasha, who was trying to hold on to the country with his last remaining funds from a tentative seat in Alexandria. The rest of the country was being gobbled up by Islamic warlords.<br/><br/>But Leyla was choosing to be cautious. She only sent people to the Coptic Christian villages. She was afraid, after all, that the Islamists would be hunting the Ethiopians after their raid. They only brought back water, and only as much as could be easily carried, as they had taken all the food they would need in their raid up the river.<br/><br/>""I read a book once that said the Ancient Egyptians were black."" Heruy told her on the sixth day after the incident. Somehow, when she pistol-whipped the rapist-priest Junedin, she gained a friend in Heruy. <br/><br/>""I thought <span class=""bb-i"">they</span> agreed on that?""<br/><br/>He shook his head. ""Europeans still want to say the Egyptians were Jews or some nonsense like that. But you see, what I read is different. The Egyptians used to call these deserts 'Red Land' because the people here are red. Guess what they called the river valley?""<br/><br/>""Black land?"" Leyla guessed.<br/><br/>Heroy nodded. ""It is that simple.""<br/><br/>That night, they slept in an abandoned limestone quarry. It was a beautiful place after dark. The moonlight reflected from the pale stone and gave it a ghostly glow that seemed to make the desert a little brighter. The quarry, they reasoned, had the effect of hiding them from the outside world, while making it difficult for anybody who meant them harm to sneak up on them. Sound in the quarry was amplified by the natural acoustics of the limestone, and the pale stone made everything on its surface stick out. <br/><br/>But the acoustic effect had another effect that Leyla did not like. Junedin was a prisoner now, his wrists and ankles bound so that he could not escape. He cussed at them when he had the chance, so Barentu stuffed a used bandage in his mouth before he went on guard. But that left the priest's muffled grunts to echo in the still night, like the groans of one of the desert's many ghosts. When he finally went silent, Leyla became aware of the quiet and woke up. She expected to see the prisoner fast asleep. Instead, he was staring right at her with feverish eyes as wide and white as two full moons. He wanted to kill her, or to use her as he had used the woman in the village. Or perhaps he wanted both. He was tied tight and completely unable to move, but she struggled to sleep any more that night none the same.<br/><br/>What had snapped in Junedin's mind? Was he just one of those sorts of soldiers who could not contain the emotional extremes of his work, or had he always been a bad person? She supposed what he done had been normal once - the rape in 'rape and pillage' was there for a reason after all - but was that any excuse? She wondered if his mind had only went after they arrested him. Ever since the raid, they kept him tied in the back of a sweltering Landrover. He could not move, or feel the desert breeze, and he only got water when somebody else thought about it. Though the other men hated him just as much as she did, she was not sure if it was because of what he did, or just that he was the only convenient thing to hate right now, or at least the only hate they had the power to act on. If the situation had been different and there was no urgency, would they have seen the rape of that innocent Egyptian woman any differently?<br/><br/>No. She could not think that. If she began to doubt her people without cause, her ability to command them would unravel. <br/><br/>In the morning, the sun rose brilliantly over the limestone ridgeline. The entire sky went from purple to red. When it became a pale orange, they packed up and left. <br/><br/>""We should travel at night."" Barentu suggested. The tall man held a rifle in his hand as if they were still in on the battlefield. <br/><br/>""No."" Leyla replied. ""I considered that early on. If this were home, things would be different, but... we do not know this land. The Arabs move at night. I don't want to fall into any traps because it is too dark.""<br/><br/>Barentu nodded. That was the end of that.<br/><br/>They did not just stay in the desert. Their route paralleled the Nile, and they always tried to keep the river in their sight during the day. When they saw a village with churches rather than mosques, Azima would send one of her quickest soldiers to check it out.<br/><br/>The worst times were when they were forced to stop and repair one of the Landrovers. That not only meant more delays, but it also meant standing still in the heat. Leyla was no mechanic, and she left the others to work out what needed to be done. All she could do is stare out at the glittering river, and at the paradise of green that surrounded it. There were trees for shade down there, and orchards that produced ripe and juicy oranges. And most importantly, there was water. She hadn't been near to the river since the incident with Junedin. She sent scouts instead to do their business, and they only went out one at a time. <br/><br/>""We need more water."" Heruy informed her. He was solemn again, with the countenance of a gravedigger. <br/><br/>""How much did we use?""<br/><br/>""Eskander's flask."" he motioned to one of the men. Leyla flinched.<br/><br/>""We need to find a church."" she looked out toward the Nile. ""I'd rather not risk a Muslim village.""<br/><br/>""We might have to no matter what you want."" Heruy said bluntly. <br/><br/>Leyla bristled. ""Not if we can avoid it. We should be close to Luxor by now, and that means we are getting closer to the dam. We aren't safe just because we made it this far south.""<br/><br/>Heruy nodded. ""I will go ahead then. If that is what you want me to do.""<br/><br/>Leyla nodded and Heruy sprinted away. She looked back at the glimmer of the Nile and dreamed about water. When she heard the Landrovers sputter back to life, she felt relief. They could move again.<br/><br/>The desert had a way of becoming as storied as the civilizations of the Nile when one spent so much time in it. The hills looked like collapsed pyramids, covered in sharp blocks of stone, exiled from their brothers in the north and nestled among jagged ridges and stunted peaks. The tallest of them sometimes blocked the morning sun and gave them precious lengths of shaded road. There were other times where they seemed to hide something sinister. Nature shook loose small rocks and sent them tumbling down cliff faces, and the sound they made always caused Leyla to pause. The broken-monument cliffs could hide any number of enemies. She was certain that, at the very least, the jackals were watching from the heights, but she never saw one. <br/><br/>""We should leave Junedin out here."" Barentu spoke up. This was not the first time he had suggested doing something with Junedin, but it was the first time that his suggestion wasn't a direct execution.<br/><br/>""He would die. I don't have the authority to kill people.""<br/><br/>""You are in command."" he said. ""You can do it if you have to.""<br/><br/>""There are rules."" Leyla retorted, jamming her finger into the dashboard. ""If we start breaking the rules, we stop being what we are. We are still soldiers, Barentu. We have to maintain discipline, that is the only way we can survive.""<br/><br/>""You are in charge."" Barentu said respectfully. ""But if we lose the cars, what happens? You won't let him go will you?""<br/><br/>""No. He doesn't go free. That would be worse than killing him.""<br/><br/>That wasn't how she felt. She hated the priest now, and not just because of the evil he had done. If he had followed orders, the predicament of what to do with him would never have had occurred. She was not used to command, but that is what she had now. Their survival depended on her ability to keep them under control.<br/><br/>Barentu did not push the issue, and Leyla was glad of that because she did not have any more answers for him.<br/><br/>The sun was falling in the western sky. Its fleeing light reflected in brilliant yellow across the river. Leyla was worried about Heruy now. She had sent him out hours earlier to find a friendly village, but she had always meant for him to return before dark and he knew that. He wouldn't be held up unless he had no other choice.<br/><br/>""Look."" Barentu boomed. He pointed out the drivers-side window at the rocky slopes leaning out above them. ""There is a jackal."" Leyla leaned in and searched the landscape. For the first few seconds, all she could see was brown, but then it popped out at her amongst the rocks and dirt. It was watching them with alert intensity.<br/><br/>""It isn't afraid."" Barentu said. ""We could shoot it, but it doesn't know that.""<br/><br/>""It is afraid. It just doesn't show it."" Leyla replied. It bothered her. It reminded her how wild this place was. <br/><br/>""How far have we traveled today?"" Leyla asked. Heruy's absence was making her nervous, and she watched the valley below with suspicion.<br/><br/>""Maybe twenty miles."" Barentu guessed. ""We wouldn't go so slow if we didn't have to stop all the time.<br/><br/>Leyla winced. It would be quicker if they walked, though that would make it difficult to carry supplies. The Battle for the Suez had taken place over a month before. She knew that the War for Ethiopia was already under way, but there had been no news. For all she knew they were heading in the direction of the newest jewel in the Spanish crown.<br/><br/>The stars were starting to appear in the fading blue-grey sky when Heruy finally appeared. They had been going slower by then, creeping cautiously along the road with their headlights dimmed, and Heruy's familiar shadow had no trouble catching up with them.<br/><br/>""There is a Coptic village down the road two miles."" he explained. He was winded, and he stopped to catch his breath. Now that they were not moving, Leyla could feel the first hints of the nighttime chill settling over the desert.<br/><br/>""They wouldn't let me go."" Heruy puffed. ""Before they knew everything. They had a lot of questions.""<br/><br/>Anxiety started to creep into Leyla's chest. ""Are they dangerous?"" she asked.<br/><br/>""No. They are friendly. But they would not give me supplies. They want us all to come down. The mayor has invited us to dinner.""<br/><br/>That seemed suspicious. ""Why would they want a foreign army in their village at all? Don't they know about the raid?""<br/><br/>""That is exactly what they want."" Heruy said. ""They want an army.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>In the end, Leyla consented to go. It was getting dark, and there was no guarantee that they would find a village before Luxor. If they ran out of water before then, they would be dead. <br/><br/>They descended from the desert in the quiet of the night and passed by miles of lush green fields and copses of palm trees. The air was cooler by the river. She watched inky canal water shimmer under inert shadufs, and for the first time since the morning, she was reminded of how absolutely filthy she was. She had shed her thick coat long ago, leaving the simple black Walinzi uniform underneath. It was brown with dust now. Her hair was filled with sand, and there was a thin layer of dust covering most of her skin. The rest of the men were just as unclean, if not worse, that she was.<br/><br/>The first thing she could make out from the distant village was the pure-white dome of its church. It was not so different from a Mosque, but its lack of minarets and the golden cross that sprouted from the apex of the dome proved that it was Christian. It as surrounded by small, simple mudbrick homes scattered along the banks of the great river. They passed a ramshackle lean-to that was only big enough for the one man standing inside it. His face glowed from the light of a flickering cigarette, and he watched them go by with an empty-faced camaraderie that she knew well from her short experience in war. She saw the shadow of a rifle in his arms.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian convoy came to a stop in front of the church, where they were greeted by three men. The first of them was an older, clean-shaven man in a pale tunic. Surrounding him were two thin young men with bony faces and wispy facial hair.<br/><br/>""Brothers!"" he announced. When he caught sight of Leyla, she saw uncertainty suddenly take hold in his eyes. But he did not stop.<br/><br/>""The road is hard. That is what this young man Heruy told us. I cannot let our brethren suffer if I can help it. No, I cannot abide that. Come in, try our food and we can talk.""<br/><br/>They followed, leaving Junedin in the car. Leyla could only hope that they would not notice him, and that they wouldn't become defensive if they found out he was a priest. <br/><br/>They were led into a plaster-house near to the church. The unmistakable scents of cooking food were coming from the house. It smelled like baking bread and grilled meat, and it made a day's worth of hunger hit her all at once. She hadn't considered how little she was eating until then. They went inside. The Ethiopians moved slowly. They did not want to offend their hosts in anyway, not while they were so helpless.<br/><br/>The room was lit by a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling by a wire, and its light poured onto blue plaster walls and piles of colorful pillows and rugs. There was a family in here waiting - a handful on young boys in linen robes, and four women - two young girls, two grown women - serving a feast on a wicker table at the edge of the room. And it was a feast. There were fava beans and chick-peas, a stack of fluffy flatbread, stuffed grape-leaves, and shredded chicken drenched in spices. It was more than these people could have ever been expected to provide for strangers, and Leyla felt uncertain how to react.<br/><br/>""Please, please."" he said. ""Be my guest. Eat! We want you to rest after the time that you have had.""<br/><br/>Leyla nodded her approval, and the other Ethiopians took their place at the table. There were not room for all of them, so the others sat around the house and waited patiently for their food.<br/><br/>Leyla plucked a stuffed grape leaf and popped it in her mouth. It was excessively sweet and sour all at once, with a vinegary flavor that made her instantly happy. <br/><br/>And so they ate for a while while the two young girls ran back and forth with a pitcher of water to keep their cups filled. Everything was quiet. The Coptic family watched them with faces that spoke partly of excitement and partly of fascination. While they ate, Leyla examined their surrounding. The house was modest enough, though the inside was painted egg-shell blue and there was a golden cross on the wall. The women dressed in colorful tunics, and unlike the Muslims they wore nothing to cover their hair. Some of the furniture looked like it could possibly be of European manufacture. <br/><br/>""Are you satisfied?"" the elder man spoke up and broke the silence. ""If you are not satisfied, just say the word and I will take care of you.""<br/><br/>""Everything is good."" Leyla said, smiling. ""We did not expect a friendly reception in your country.""<br/><br/>The elder replied with an exaggerated nod. ""We understand, Egypt is in poor condition now. Our people suffer. You have seen it!""<br/><br/>""We have not seen much."" Leyla answered. ""We have stayed close to the hills. It is safer up there for us.""<br/><br/>""That is what I mean! When travelers have to stay in the desert because they fear the people, then there is suffering in that country! I have seen it first hand. There is an Imam in Luxor who demands that our village pay the Jizya. How can we pay, I say? We are a poor people, we have nothing to pay. But that is not enough. He threatens us, Abyssinians! He threatens to take the tax by force if we do not pay.""<br/><br/>""That is awful."" Leyla replied. She saw where this conversation might go. ""The world is so much crueler anymore. Our home is being invaded now, and our people face trials. We can understand.""<br/><br/>""It is a terrible world for good people."" <br/><br/>There was a brief pause, and all that could be heard in that cramped room was a humming lightbulb and the hungry chewing of the Ethiopians. The Egyptians did not stop attended to their guests. For them in this moment, the Ethiopian contingent was everything.<br/><br/>Leyla considered the Imam in Luxor. How strong was he? The Copts still seemed to have electricity, which was interesting. As far as she knew, the power in Egypt all came from the dam in Aswan. Or did they have control of the dam at all?<br/><br/>""Who holds Aswan?"" she asked.<br/><br/>The elder looked at her thoughtfully. ""I do not know."" he said. An ornery chuckle followed, and it caught Leyla off guard. ""To be honest with you, there is a rumor that Abyssinia holds the dam.""<br/><br/>She stopped chewing. Was it true? Leyla and her band had been lost in the desert since the last week of May. The war must have progressed since then - that was only logical - but she hadn't considered an occupation of Aswan as a possibility. She could see, out of the corner of her eye, that the news wasn't lost on her comrades. They had all stopped eating, and they were exchanging looks of bewilderment and hope. <br/><br/>""If this is true, we did not know."" Leyla said.<br/><br/>""Oh."" the old man seemed crestfallen, but his cordial excitement bubbled back up. ""But I suppose you have been away. I do not know much else about your country.""<br/><br/>""We hope to find out soon."" Leyla said.<br/><br/>There was something that the old man had left unsaid. She knew he had expectations, and when it seemed the conversation was slipping away from him, he rushed to quickly force the conversation his direction. <br/><br/>""I want to ask you to remember us."" he blurted. ""We are in danger, our people. I know that you must go home, and that you cannot stay in our village to protect us. We would not have the ammunition for you if you did stay. But I do want you to tell your people that we are here. Christ's children suffer in Egypt. I do not see a bright future if we do not get help. Please, Abyssinians, when you get back to your country, tell your people that their Christian brethren need them.""<br/><br/>""I will make sure your message reaches our home. If I can tell the Emperor, I will. But... we are at war right now.""<br/><br/>""May God protect you."" the Copt said somberly. ""Because your survival is our survival.""<br/></div>"

The thumps and groans penetrated through the concrete wall and filled the small room where Hank kept his makeshift office. The building Operation Cruiser used as operational headquarters was an old slaughterhouse that had been closed since before the war. Fittingly, the interrogation room next door had been the slaughterhouse's killing floor.<br/><br/>""Hank...""<br/><br/>He looked up and saw Patrick Connelly standing in the doorway leading into the interrogation room. Pat had a serious look on his face and the cigarette between his index and middle fingers was dangerously close to burning both fingers as it burned down to the butt.<br/><br/>""I think he's ready to talk. Come on in.""<br/><br/>Hank took a deep breath and polished off his lukewarm coffee. He flipped a switch on his desk that turned on the microphones in the next room. CIA, DoD, and who the hell ever was involved in this op wanted to hear whatever came next. Hank took another deep breath and sighed. He had to steel himself for what awaited him inside. He was an analyst, a desk jockey through and through. He read and wrote reports on everything from the production of rice in China to the criminal structure of the organized crime syndicates in France. There was a sense of detachment to his work. It was more academic than applicable. Pat had no such luxury. He did legwork for CIA and saw the brutal truths of the job firsthand. Pat had no problem keeping his composure in the interrogation room, but Hank wasn't sure of himself.<br/><br/>They went inside the long, dim room with a single naked lightbulb serving as the sole source of light. Master Sergeant Silas Crystal and two of his Green Berets stood close to a metal chair bolted to the concrete floor. A bloody and beaten man sat on the chair strapped with down with leather belts. A metal tub of water sat next to the chair. Hank noticed drops of blood on the floor leading towards the tub. He also noticed the beaten man's wet head and the black gloves Crystal wore. They were weighted with lead in the knuckles and palms. Sap gloves, they were called, and they were used to issue beatings.<br/><br/>""Reg,"" Pat said to the beaten man, slapping him gently to wake him up. ""Reg, my man. You need to wake up and talk.""<br/><br/>Reg Boland, the bloody mess in front of Hank, broke out into a fit of coughing. A broken molar came out of his mouth and clattered on the floor. Boland looked up at Hank with swollen eyes that seemed to look through him more than they looked at him. <br/><br/>""We need to know about the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty, Reg. They're getting equipment from somewhere. We need to know how they're getting it, who they are, and how to find them.""<br/><br/>Boland started to say something but stopped when he saw Crystal approaching with his sap gloves. The beaten man flinched and quickly looked down at the floor. Blood dripped from his open mouth and spilled onto the floor in drips and drops.<br/><br/>""I been smuggling them weapons,"" Boland finally said. ""I come out from Canada, head across the DMZ where protection is the thinnest, and meet them outside Vancouver.""<br/><br/>""What kind of weapons?"" Pat asked.<br/><br/>""Pistols and shotguns and rifles. Mostly I give them explosives, pounds and pounds of TNT and plastic explosives.""<br/><br/>""How long has this been going on?"" Hank asked.<br/> <br/>""A month or so. I... I'm not sure, but I think they had a guy giving them shit before me. An Army guy working out the base in Vancouver.""<br/><br/>Hank and Crystal exchanged looks. Crystal's A-Team heard scuttlebutt at Fort Dixon about an ordnance sergeant that went AWOL and was found dead by the territorial police a few weeks later. The territorial police and the FCB were looking into the murder. They were pretty damn close to finding out the truth, too. Their kidnapping of Boland managed to beat a police arrest raid by just a few minutes. The cops, just like the spooks, were in the dark.<br/><br/>""Can I have a cigarette? Boland asked.<br/><br/>""Soon as you answer my question,"" Hank said. ""Who all is part of the Friends, Reg? Give me some names, please.""<br/><br/>""I just know them by their first names,"" he said with a shrug. ""And only two guys I've met so far. Guy name Alex and one named Arthur. Alex runs the show, Arthur seems like some kind of geek. He's always inspecting the explosives before I hand them off.""<br/><br/>""What do they look like?"" Pat asked as he started to pull a cigarette out for Boland.<br/><br/>Boland shrugged in his chair. He regretted the decision immediately and winced in pain at some injury. ""They're young guys. White with dark hair. I couldn't pick 'em out of a crowd. Their just average, boring looking guys.""<br/><br/>Pat put a cigarette in Boland's mouth and lit it up for him. <br/><br/>""How young we talking?"" Pat asked while Boland inhaled the cigarette smoke. <br/><br/>""College kids,"" Boland said, expelling smoke from his mouth as he spoke. ""The boy Alex wore an army field jacket with a button on it that said 'NWC or Die.' That's some A-1 college radical bullshit.""<br/><br/>Hank made a mental note. Alex and Arthur, college kids with potential backgrounds in science and electronics. One of them had to know something to rig the raw explosives up into a bomb. He'd start combing the roles of local universities as soon as they were done here.<br/><br/>""Let's talk about the Canadian connection,"" Hank said. ""Where do you get your stuff from on the other side of the border.""<br/><br/>Boland shook his head so vigorously his cigarette threatened to fly out. For the first time since Hank came in the room, Boland's eyes were showing emotion. They showed fear.<br/><br/>""No, I can't...""<br/><br/>Crystal stepped up and hit Boland with an open-hand slap. The gloves added to the slap and whipped Boland's head back. The cigarette, along with blood, went flying across the room. Hank turned his head to keep from watching as the sergeant let into Boland with a few more blows.<br/><br/>""Alright!"" Boland finally screamed, on the point of breaking down. ""I'll tell... It's some guy named Jones, okay? A big fucking guy with blonde hair. Most times I meet him across the border, he gives me the shit and I smuggle it back. Please, that's all I know I swear.""<br/><br/>""Most times?"" Hank asked after his stomach settled. <br/><br/>""One time he made the run himself, okay? I went to meet him, but he told me to piss off. What he was delivering was too fucking important for me to fuck up.""<br/><br/>Hank saw the rest of the men in the room start to stir with interest. They, like him, wondered what in god's name could be worse than guns and bombs. <br/><br/>""What was it?"" asked Pat.<br/><br/>""I dunno, I swear. All I saw was a crate with that weird ass symbol they use when something's poison.""<br/><br/>""The biohazard sign,"" said Hank. ""Is that it, Reg?""<br/><br/>""That's it. It was a small crate, but whatever it was was bad.""<br/><br/>""Shit,"" Pat said, taking the words from Hank's mouth. ""Shit, shit, shit... I think these fuckers have got their hands on some heavy duty shit.""<br/><br/>""Reg,"" Hank said in a reassuring tone. ""We need to know how to find them right now.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Cascadia Territorial Police Force Headquarters<br/>Vancouver</span><br/><br/>Inspector Mark Echols sat at his desk and played the scene over again. A joint CTPF/FCB raid ended up with jack shit thanks to persons unknown. Reg Boland, their target, had absconded minutes before they arrived and was in the wind. That pissed off everyone taking part in the raid, Echols included, but something else gnawed at him. He'd thought he saw a ghost from the past on the streets of Vancouver. The man walking down the street near the raid looked just like... him. Echols was brought back to that night a few years ago when his world was on fire and coming down around his ears.<br/><br/>""Echols,"" Special Agent Byran Simpson said as he came into the office. ""Echols?""<br/><br/>Echols looked up from his desk at the FCB man who served as his partner. Simpson's eyebrows were raised as he looked at Echols curiously. ""You okay?""<br/><br/>""Bryan, I saw something when we tried to find Boland... someone I thought I'd never see again.""<br/><br/>""Who?""<br/><br/>""A US Special Forces solider,"" said Echols. <br/><br/>Simpson started to protest, but Echols cut him off with a look.<br/><br/>""A man I saw on the street just a block away from where Boland was supposed to be was a dead match for a man I once knew. He was a Green Beret back during the war, Sergeant Crystal... I haven't forgotten his face since because he's the reason I have no kneecap, but he's also the reason I still have my head. Crystal saved my life, and now he's here in Vancouver doing god knows what.""<br/><br/>""Are you sure, Echols?""<br/><br/>""I know what I saw, Simpson,"" Echols said. ""I'll never forget that man's face, and that man was in the same area as our missing person.""<br/><br/>Simpson started to curse while Echols looked at the corkboard beside his desk. The Stiff and Surrey had morphed into something else altogether. A dead soldier, a missing weapons trafficker, terrorist, and now spooks. Echols was a long-term detective and was used to cases having legs and going unexpected places, but this?<br/><br/>""I think Crystal and whoever he's working with kidnapped Boland,"" said Echols. ""They're after the same people we're after.""<br/><br/>""I'll be goddamned,"" Simpson said. They sat there in silence for a moment before the special agent spoke again. ""I'm going to call D.C. and try to get to the bottom of this shitstorm, at least from the government side of things.""<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Boston</span><br/><br/>Elliot Shaw looked through the darkness of the bowling alley for his captor. The lights popped on suddenly to reveal twelve empty bowling lanes with warped and rotting wooden planks across each one. Elliot saw cobwebs in the rafters and a snack bar missing its counter.<br/><br/>""How'd you get in here?"" He asked Jane. <br/><br/>""Friend of mine owns it, I told him I was in trouble and needed a place to hide out.""<br/><br/>Leading with the gun, she pointed Elliot towards a living area set up by the snack bar. A small kerosene lamp on the floor beside a cot and two metal folding chairs along with a few suitcases. ""Sit, please.""<br/><br/>""Well, now how can I refuse when such a pretty lady has such a big gun in my face?""<br/><br/>He took a seat across from Jane and pointed to his jacket pocket. ""I got some cigarettes in my jacket. I can get you one if you want it."" <br/><br/>""No I'll get it. I insist.""<br/><br/>She stood up and reached into his jacket, pulling out a silver cigarette case and a silver lighter. After a moment of setup the two were smoking in silence.<br/><br/>""So,"" Elliot started. ""What are you going to do with me?""<br/><br/>""I haven't decided yet.""<br/><br/>""Why don't you just give me whatever Kane wanted me to get for him?""<br/><br/>Jane chuckled. Even with a smoke in her left, the gun in her right hand was still trained on Elliot's chest. ""You don't know what it is, do you?""<br/><br/>""I think it's one of two things. Evidence of him having an affair or something worse. Something that can seriously hurt him, something he doesn't want to quietly pay blackmail for.""<br/><br/>The girl got up from her seat and kicked open one of the suitcases. She placed the smoldering cigarette to the side and reached inside the suitcase. She produced a small folder and opened it for Elliot to see. Sitting at the top of a stack of papers was a black and white photo of Kane naked and on top of a woman just as naked as he was. ""That's me he's with. He had a camera hidden in the bedroom where we had sex. Apparently he gets off on it.""<br/><br/>""So, you found the photos and took them. Why? Blackmail?""<br/><br/>""That was the plan. He hired me just to fuck me. I was getting paid alright, but not like I wanted for what I was being asked to do.""<br/><br/>""Fucking over the guy who fucks you over, not a bad motive,"" he nodded before pointing towards the photo with his cigarette. ""Are all those photos?""<br/><br/>""Some of them. Most of it is papers and bullshit written in lawyer speak.""<br/><br/>Elliot sucked on his smoke and wondered what else she glommed. Dirty pictures were bad, but certain documents could be as equally damning but not quite as sexy.<br/><br/>""Can I see the other stuff? You can hold on to the pictures.""<br/><br/>Jane eyed him for a few seconds before finally picking out the photos and passing him the folder from across the lantern. He thumbed through if and skimmed the papers. Files, paperwork, contracts, all of it pointing towards one thing.<br/><br/>""Huh. Apparently, they're doing some development with the marshes. About time, if you ask me. Place is a shithole.""<br/><br/>There were memos from developers and investors and other politicians. A bunch of names and corporations listed all over the contracts and files. Plans to turn the swampy area just outside of East Boston into a whole new town. Subdivision, condos, parks. The whole nine yards. Wedged towards the back was some survey from a geological firm. That was all greek to Elliot, but the last page was interesting. Minutes from a meeting between Kane, a guy named Abbot, and Big Jim Dwyer.<br/><br/>He had to laugh at the audacity of them recording the conversation. They talked about planning to tank the investment deal and short the investors to make sure the project didn't even get off the ground. That made Elliot pause. They were embezzling, sure, but taking the money from investors seemed short sighted compared to the price the real estate in the marshes would be after the deal. It was like trading in for five bucks now, instead of five thousand bucks six months down the road. <br/><br/>Jane raised an eyebrow when she saw Elliot's puzzled look. ""What?""<br/><br/>A sound from outside kept him from explaining his thoughts. The sound was of a car coming to a stop. ""Oh, shit,"" Jane said as she sprung up, dropping the photos to the floor and running to turn off the lights. ""You were followed, you asshole!""<br/><br/>""No I wasn't, dammit!""<br/><br/>Elliot took off after her and stopped suddenly as she turned off the lights. He crept through the darkness towards the door and wedged it open enough to see through a crack. Two men, tough looking and serious, were just climbing out of a black sedan. The car clicked with Elliot. He saw it once or twice on the drive here.<br/><br/>""Son of a bitch, I was followed!""<br/><br/>He suddenly realized Kane didn't want him to get those photos. He wanted Elliot to lead him and his men to Jane. He was the bloodhound for the hunters, but he was damn sure that he was going to be put down after they found what they wanted.<br/><br/>""Son of a bitch,"" Elliot hissed. ""He played me!""<br/><br/>Sean McKenna's warning from earlier hit home hard. These people were not to be trifled with, he had said. They were ruthless and did not let obstacles stand in their way to get what they wanted. Now young Jane Wilson was an obstacle. So, too, was Elliot. <br/><br/>""Give me your gun,"" Elliot said to Jane through the dark. She started to protest but he raised his voice to speak over her. ""If you want to live, give me your goddamn gun and trust me.""<br/><br/>He felt the cool metal in his palm and gripped it tightly as the two men approached the bowling alley door.</div>"

The world came to swimming in milk, bleached clean of its color. The silver daggers of the sun's light cut his eyes and with his regaining consciousness he shut them close, wincing at the precise pain of the day light scalpels. And slowly, the rest of the world around Yun-Qi came to.<br/><br/>Echoing in the near distance the familiar shouts of men echoed  in the air. His head rested against something soft. Quan Yun-qi squirmed in a panic as he shot up, shooting his head full of hot pain as he rose suddenly. Dizzy and nauseous, he leaned forward, coughing on the bitter acrid smoke that filled his lungs; it smelled like hard industrial diesel, and harsh wood smoke.<br/><br/>“Comrade, are you OK?” a voice beckoned behind him. Dizzy, Yun-qi opened his eyes to a squint and turned. The speaker sounded distant, as it spoken through a megaphone funnel. Yet it was so familiarly near.<br/><br/>As his senses caught up he choked out groggily: “Yeah...” it was all he could master as his world swayed in and out of sense. Raising his hands to his head he pushed in on the sides of his skull. A dull throbbing pain was growing inside his skull. A deep fear spoke softly: it was a hemorrhage.<br/><br/>“I'll call a medic over!” the same voice said. Yun-qi nodded knowingly as he sat on the warm pavement as metal crashed in the distance. The echoing of the voices slowly cleared up, and the sharpness of their diversity became closer. Slowly he discerned the popping of a roaring flame from the rush of boots.<br/><br/>“Hold still, comrade.” a new voice commanded gently as a set of hands held onto Quan's shoulders. He felt someone move him around.<br/><br/>“You need to open your eyes.” the new voice requested.<br/><br/>Dizzily, Yun-Qi prepared for the light and just barely opened his eyes. Silhouetted against the harsh sun a dark figure sat in his field of view.<br/><br/>“More please.” the man bid. Yun-qi answered.<br/><br/>There was a moment of tense silence from this new shade. Yun-qi recoiled against the brief flashes of new light passing through his vision.<br/><br/>“W-what happened?” he asked. His head was groggy, filled with a fuzzy memory of a ride down the street. He struggled and fought with himself, throwing his head over hurdles as he made desperate throws to figure out what had happened. The last thing he remembered was a train whistle, and the feeling of bewilderment that one would now run to Surgut.<br/><br/>“Never mind that, can you stand up?” the medic requested.<br/><br/>“I-” the officer mumbled.<br/><br/>“Then just lay down for a moment, collect yourself comrade.” said the medic in a rushed voice. Through his narrowed eyes he could see his fuzzy figure look behind him, “How's he?” he asked.<br/><br/>“There's a pulse still, but his head's bleeding.” said someone else.<br/><br/>“Bandage it and call a stretcher!” ordered the medic.<br/><br/>“Right away.” his help acknowledged.<br/><br/>“N- no... What's going on? I- I don't remember.” Yun-qi babbled quietly. The world was starting to trickle back and his senses re-adjust. But as they returned so did a sense of dull lead-loaded pain.<br/><br/>His answer hesitated nervously. “A bomb.” reported the medic, “Someone brought a train with a bomb on it, I guess.” he elaborated.<br/><br/>“I don't remember a train.” slowly babbled Yun-qi. He struggled back up into a sitting position and peered into the silver light. The snowy light slowly lifted and bright oranges filled the wounds opening in the silk veil. He watched with first fearful curiosity, and then stunned amazement.<br/><br/>Cratered in the train-yard the sheered husk of a locomotive lay flayed in a nest of twisted rails. Scorched glass and heat-seared pebbles filled the space. Glistening shards of broken glass sparkled from the train-yard side apartments. And the loading cranes at the river's edge stood bent and twisted as debris and a few ropy strands of gore clung to the sheered beams and popped rivets. Soldiers, Chinese and Siberian alike clustered about the yard, hurriedly searching for bodies among the twisted ruins and pulling out torched cinders.<br/><br/>“Oh- Ah- Ah...” Yun-qi meaninglessly blathered as he rose to his feet. He felt his heart strumming wildly in his chest as shock set in. They had been attacked, and not in any expected manner. Every part of his protested it and clung for his breath to ride out in an angry scream. But in the tangled confusion and chaos, bruised with his body they could not come out as nothing but gasping exclamations.<br/><br/>He staggered to his feet, but he was not ready for it and began to drunkenly stagger. The medic threw himself for him and grabbed his superior officer to stabilize him. “NO!” he protested loudly.<br/><br/>“A-an officer has to stand. An officer has to stand!” Yun-qi yelled enraged, “In battle, in victory, in defeat, in peace. An officer has to stand!” he hollered, throwing his arm into the medic and casting him aside.<br/><br/>He took several weak steps forward, swaying on rubber feet he looked down at the cataclysm in the bank below him. He drank in the terrifying details. He swayed as he turned, and saw the man that was laying behind him. A thick bandage wrap around his head held the blood in, but it was already staining itself a deep crimson red from back to crown. A small puddle lay next to his head, near to the corner of the brick wall where he had hit.<br/><br/>“Who's he?” he asked.<br/><br/>The medic looked down at the young soldier. His tired wide eyes looked up and down the unconscious figure with dry pity. Thick glasses and a heavy pointed chin was covered in dust and ash.<br/><br/>With a light gesture he ordered his help to open the soldiers pockets and he did. Pulling out a set of small metal tags from his uniform pocket. “Lièbīng Chu Hong.” he read, looking down at the private's tags.<br/><br/>Yun-qi nodded. He looked over at the pool of blood, his head rang and filled with a pain that swarmed like ants as he saw the blood from Hong's own injuries. He staggered on his feet, and held his head to keep it from splitting open. He choked down his fear, his disgust and asked: “What's his condition?”<br/><br/>“I can't make an appropriate diagnoses here.” replied the medic.<br/><br/>“What's his condition?” Yun-qi insisted, lowering his voice to a tense growl.<br/><br/>The medic worriedly bit his lips and looked back down at him. “Maybe he'll make it, but I doubt it. He's been bleeding bad for a while. If he makes it into surgery and survives: I can't tell you what'll happen.” he gave a resigned sigh, “But he did it to save you. You could have just as easily smashed your head on the alley wall in that blast.”<br/><br/>The medic bowed his head. Yun-qi nodded. Still shaken from the blast Yun-qi swaggered back and forth. “Very well.” he said gruffly, “Get him in first. See him through!” he ordered, “I'm fine. Don't worry about me.” he added, walking weakly towards the site of the blast.<br/><br/>He approached the edge of the grassy berm. His soles on both grass and concrete. The rushed foot falls of the stretcher carriers were coming in fast to carry away Hong.<br/><br/>“Are you sure you're OK to be standing?” asked the medic.<br/><br/>“I'm not dead yet.” Yun-qi answered on a heavy breath. The acrid diesel and charcoal air burned in the back of his throat. He wasn't: but somehow a clinging doubt suggested he may someday be.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tyumen</div><br/><br/>“I'm sorry, I'm out of coffee.” the cashier said dryly as he rifled up through the shelves. A cigarette hung limp and life-less as it smoldered to the end of its life from his puffy swollen lips, “I do got cigarettes, plenty of those.” he lethargically compromised.<br/><br/>Leaning on the counter, Tsung held his head in his hand. A tired distant stare looked up at the hawkishly propped cashier. In truth her perhaps didn't need it; but he was running low on the can he did keep, “When will you be getting more in?” he asked begrudgingly, turning to look anywhere but the lumpy man on the ladder.<br/><br/>The store wasn't so much a proper business. As an extension of the Chinese supply chain it had simply taken over an existing structure, a bar. Much of it was still unclean and dusty or broken furniture had been pushed aside against the wall only to be hidden behind banks of ready-to-move boxes in even they needed to move elsewhere. And through the hole punched in the far-wall it had begun to double as a warehouse where the storemen lazily moved boxes from floor to truck or from truck to floor.<br/><br/>It also doubled as the mail office, as evidences by the minder handing over a pad of bleached, dry parchment to a waiting riflemen and the stacks of wrapped envelopes beginning to cover the bar counter.<br/><br/>“Dunno.” answered the cashier.<br/><br/>“So you don't know?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“No, I just can't say.”<br/><br/>“So you know?”<br/><br/>“No.”<br/><br/>“Well that's what I wanted!” an exasperated Tsung shouted. He dragged his fingers up into his eyes and messaged the sides of the sockets.<br/><br/>“I do have cigarettes.” the clerk reminded.<br/><br/>“I don't want fucking tobacco.” Tsung growled. He felt a deep pricking annoyance with the fat indifferent dog behind the counter, “But do you know if anyone else here does?” he asked instead.<br/><br/>The cashier shrugged as he swept into a basket a stack of outgoing mail. “The regimental quartermaster might have an idea.” he reported, “You should try him.”<br/><br/>“Alright, fine...” Tsung groaned, “Where is he?”<br/><br/>“She.” the cashier corrected without failure, “Tu Ma got set up at a monastery.”<br/><br/>“Ok... So where's that? Which one?” Tsung inquired.<br/><br/>The cashier nodded out the door, “Other side of the river, upstream.”<br/><br/>“Name?”<br/><br/>“I don't pronounce Russian names. Sorry. But are you sure you don't want a smoke.”<br/><br/>Burned out on him, Tsung held his hands in the air. “No.” he griped, “I don't.” turning on his heels he went for the door and stepped out into the sun.<br/><br/>On the street Tsung stuffed his hands into the pocket of his uniform. In his mind the swirling frustrations of his dealings with the army cashier tugged and pulled on him. He moped as he strolled, shoulders slacked and face bent to a disgruntled angle. He just looked ahead, staring down the street as he me moved away from the orange brick building.<br/><br/>To roam a city he had just not long ago been a part of its siege carried an alien cold air. The stillness of its landscape pulsed from its fiber. And as if the air itself the air itself was broken, shattered, and burned there was a deadened stillness. Crawling through its ruin the rumbles and guttural coughs of the Chinese supply network prowled and scavenged from its hallowed corpse.<br/><br/>The damage onto the city was hardly an all encompassing carpet bombing. Though shelling was liberal, it had carried a certain methodical surgery. Rows of townhouses often stood nearly intact, with the exception of the deep gouging claw marks that had been left behind by heavy shrapnel or the pocked craters of street and metal fragments. And then for hardly a half block another row lay open like sarcophagi torn open and looted; what had been their lids now a dusty mess that spilled into the street as busted waterlines lazily drooled slowly flowing currents of water.<br/><br/>Splashing across a stream-let of that water he passed onto the river-front road. Here the bodies of tanks and armored cars lay pushed aside like discarded carcasses. Their blackened shapes still smoldering from the inside as the sharp bitter taste of cordite and gas clouded the air around them. Pieces of metal and a sheet of charred grass made the carpet on which they sat, waiting to be collected and cut away; relegated to scrap so that they may have their reincarnation.<br/><br/>With his feet growing sore he finally came to a bridge. Its naked span swept clean of debris and cleared of barricades. Lumbering across the concrete and asphalt structure moved the trucks ladden with supplies to come in, or to go out. He stepped out onto the side-walk and began his lonely trek across as from the far-side came the elephantine cabins of the semis that carried the artillery; no doubt things were pushing ahead for them to re-mobilize. The bridge itself rumbled as if a giant underneath was shaking it.<br/><br/>Matte and flat, the long heavy barrels of the Chinese cannons provided no idea of grandeur or promise to greatness. They flaunted little, save for the drab green paint that masked them into the landscape. Though the crews of a few of the five that passed him had painted the long arm of their guns with dragons of clouds, those too were faded against a persistent layer of dust and diesel soot.<br/><br/>Their crews looked no different. Either hidden in the cabins of the trucks that carried them or sitting along the edge of the steel trailers they looked lack-luster and bored. Leaning against each other they took the trip with a leg hanging off the side, or fully laying against the floor of the trailer itself. Detached expressions of boredom and disinterested stares watched the world they helped make go by.<br/><br/>They disappeared on into the city behind Tsung and into the labyrinth of ruins and streets. But there was little doubt in Tsung's mind that there was little that would get in the column's way. Perhaps even they had a road clear, began the very moment the city was forfeit to them.<br/><br/>Crossing to the other side the young soldier walked through a forest of banners. Flags of the Chinese state, unit standards, and all the decoration of Huei Wen's army. Even a silk-sewn image of Hou Sai Tang on a field of cotton and polyester red looked out at the city his army had taken with empty deadened eyes. His image flew taller than the flags themselves, stretched between two heavy poles. Instinctively, Tsung gave a subtle bow to the image before continuing on.<br/>_____________<br/><br/>“I'm looking for Tu Ma.” said Tsung. A idle rifleman stood at the gates of an enclosed set of buildings.<br/><br/>“What for?” he asked, leaning against the red brick of the wall. Next to him a gate of green sheet metal sat closed beneath an arch of the same pinkish-red stone as the wall itself, ivory white trim traced the three respective doorways and the sweeping central point of the gate's crown. A line of trees and bushes shrouded the property's wall from the street, and even the small chapel and auxiliary structures behind the monastery wall.<br/><br/>Tsung wasn't feeling the mood for another argument, and not before his final destination. Yet helpless, he could do little more than appeal to the guard's questioning, “Liebeiing Li Tsung, 1st Liaoning Cavalry. Can I come in now?” he answered defeated.<br/><br/>“Commanding officer?” asked the guard.<br/><br/>“Juunshi Sun Song.” Tsung gripped.<br/><br/>The guard nodded, and reaching into a pocket inside his coat. Pulling out a note-pad he flipped through the pages.<br/><br/>“What's that?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“A list.” the guard replied, glancing up from the pages as he ran through the lines.<br/><br/>“For what?”<br/><br/>“Of things, Tu Ma's got enough going on between the city itself and the army quartermaster to be playing shopkeeper. Shit people need only.” the rifleman answered with dry gusto.<br/><br/>There was a long moment of waiting as he ran his fingers down the pages. “Ah.” he said, “I suppose your squad lost a tank, would be you looking to ask what's going on with a replacement?”<br/><br/>Tsung stood in the middle of the side-walk perplexed and rather shocked, “I suppose I am...” he mumbled.<br/><br/>“Suits me.” shrugged the guard, knocking on the metal door. As it slowly swung open he invited: “Right on ahead, Regimental Quartermaster Ma is set up in the chapel.” Tsung bowed as he walked onto the grounds of the monastery.<br/><br/>It was a simple enough space, and hardly large. A yard of faded beige bricks formed a courtyard no bigger than a soccer pitch, grassy patches formed emerald ponds of landscaping at the base of spindly trees and young pines. Along the edges the plaster or wooden walls separated the compound from the city proper, until its furthest point where it marched off to a wood and gravel viewing deck.<br/><br/>Clustering the property, Siberian and Russian soldiers went about their duties, and if the local clergy were still here as fighting raged in the city then they had for sure been forced out now. Green hardtops trundled in and out as they used the concrete outbuildings of the eastern walls for storage, before leaving through the green gates.<br/><br/>The chapel itself was a modest Russian baroque church. Seemingly unscathed from the fighting, its walls still retained a bright vibrant orange and its white-framed windows unshattered by bombs, bullets, or grenades. A single steeple stood behind its solid oak entrance, the tower capped with a green crown the matched the lightly windowed dome; both held aloft golden crucifixes that rose fixed to point at the sky with holy defiance to the Chinese atheism below. Red gutter drains snaked down every outer corner.<br/><br/>Turning to it, he breathed relieved as he opened the heavy wooden doors.<br/><br/>Once inside he was greeted to a final silence. A sanctuary that while distant was all the same near. It was also empty.<br/><br/>Russian iconography decorated the walls, yet there were no pews and very little furniture left. Tsung's feet echoed on the hardwood floors as he moved about, breathing in the nostalgic smells of preservation and heritage; that dusty musky smell brought on by careful repainting and re-varnishing. It permeated the air.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” a woman's voice said suddenly.<br/><br/>Tsung jumped, surprised. Turning on his toes he found and met the speaker with a frozen panicked look. Laughing, the woman that had to be Tu Ma smiled.<br/><br/>She was a small woman, portly but not wide. She looked up at Tsung from behind large glasses as she sat at a wooden table along with another officer.<br/><br/>“Sorry, comrades.” Tsung bowed nervously.<br/><br/>“Your forgiven.” sighed the other officer, “Give me a moment, I'm almost done.”<br/><br/>Tsung nodded and backed away. Turning back to the quartermaster, the discussion he must have stopped was resumed, “You're going to have to get with Huei Wen personally if you have to.” he said, “But so far as things go I don't believe my medics have enough bandages; not after this passed affair. We had some thousand wounded from both sides flooding my hospitals and on my surgery tables. With most of it gone to chase the front I'm not given much to work with here.”<br/><br/>“I understands.” Tu Ma acknowledged, if stressed. A stray hair swung against her forehead as he hung out from under her olive-green cap.<br/><br/>“Good, thank you.” the surgeon officer sighed, relieved. He bowed as he got to his feet, “We're committed to try and serve the civilian population too so the need is still constant. We're touching the bottom of our spare supplies as-is, so please get us more.”<br/><br/>“I will, I will.” an exacerbated Ma placated, “I'll put your demand forward this evening.”<br/><br/>“Afternoon.” the surgeon demanded.<br/><br/>“Yes, afternoon.” she said, correcting herself. Relieved an understanding had been made, the surgeon bowed again, and headed for the door.<br/><br/>With its muffled thud, Tsung had his audience with Tu Ma.<br/><br/>“What is it?” she snapped, crankily. She starred down Tsung with an assertive look that itself burned.<br/><br/>“A, uh-... A couple things.” Tsung fumbled, surprised, “If you'll answer, that is.”<br/><br/>“I'll try.” she grumbled, she opened up a book on the table and tapping a pencil against her head thumbed through the pages, “Where are you from, and from who?”<br/><br/>“First Liaonang Cavalry, Sun Song.” Tsung repeated.<br/><br/>“Thank you.” she skipped several pages in her reports, and settled in on one. Running her finger down the list she went through the items.<br/><br/>“Sun Song, reported a damaged tank, lost it completely in the battle. Shanghai'd someone else's so he could get back into the field. I filed the requisition order later that evening and haven't heard anything.” she stated bluntly, shutting the book added emphasis to the fact she intended this audience to be done, “No doubt you're owed ammunition rations but it goes without saying, but if Song's not even supposed to be here: why are you here?”<br/><br/>“Because I really had a more, uh- personal question.”<br/><br/>“No, I'm not available.” she shot early, standing up.<br/><br/>Tsung recoiled back, “No, that's not what I wanted to ask.” he said.<br/><br/>“Fine, what was it?”<br/><br/>“I'm just looking for coffee, one of your cashiers said I should look into it by asking you since no one seems to have any.” he explained on quick breaths, “And uh- just wondering if you can say you got any?”<br/><br/>Tu Ma gave him a long glowering glare, “I haven't been able to get any.” she said, “There's a war going on in Africa and way I hear it the Ethiopian navy was just destroyed by the Spanish. They can for now no doubt move between here and there, but a lot of sailors aren't taking it. They don't want to risk being intercepted and captured by the Spanish, or whatever those bastards will do.<br/><br/>“So no, I haven't been able to procure any Ethiopian coffee. That sort of thing isn't even part of the official ration list so it's not on any priority for my CO to look at getting: let alone me.<br/><br/>“Now if you wanted tea you could probably be supplied. But we're not getting coffee, that's for the civilians back home. But I doubt the availability for that will remain for long, because Vietnam as I gather isn't producing coffee as it was under the French.<br/><br/>“Next question?” she spat.<br/><br/>“Ah- no, no other questions.” Tsung mumbled. He felt truly defeated, “But I guess I'll update everyone else about the tank. I suppose...”<br/><br/>“Good, now get the fuck out.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Moscow</div><br/><br/>In the darkness of the tunnels there was an absolute peace never before experienced. Walking through puddles as water dripped from over head Vasiliy strolled down the tracks of an abandoned metro tunnel. There was an eeriness to the air as he walked along. It hung still and moist in the air like some dark and sacred tomb, full of monsters.<br/><br/>But in the echoing splashes of his footsteps and the distant drops of water that leaked through cracking cement there was no other sound or indication of life. He was very and truly alone as he swept his torch across the rounded tunnel face. Loose strands of fraying cable and rusted sagging conduit clung from the side of the concrete vault's walls.<br/><br/>Once for some time Vasiliy had dreamed of skulking through the unknown tombs of ancient kings. To go to Egypt and the Levant and dig out some once great crusader fortress or Saracen castle. To perhaps travel to Jerusalem and dig under the Dome of the Rock to find the fabled ruins of the old Jewish Temple. Precariously preserved in ancient granite somehow, and built over top like some lost Parthenon. But as his interest waned as he aged he lost the dream.<br/><br/>On some fundamental level it perhaps stayed with him. But shifted its focus from the ancient to the contemporary. To not just see sacred sites with their magical shroud of mystery. But the hidden sites of the modern world, themselves dressed in the magnetic intrigue and force of the state. And he obtained that. Before the dying twilight of the Czar's vast empire to Finnish anger Vasiliy had only once walked the dark halls of the Kremlin; to no important matter but the delivery of routine papers on Makulov's behalf. But that visit had placated the young child in him to see the mysterious and the hidden.<br/><br/>But then, here he was again. Within the Kremlin, but not just inside of it: under it. He drew his flashlight to the ceiling and swept it along the center spine of the great tunnel. This voyage had re-awoken that child again and it gnawed at him to explore this even greater secret. It was by no means spectacular, a long tube of concrete and tubing, subway rail dominating the sandy, gravel floor under his boots. Sometimes he'd walk through a puddle and the sound of its splash would echo for so long it sounded eternal. But there was no wasteful touch of decadence in here. It was spartan.<br/><br/>The tunnel's location was not easy to find, but knowing now where it is meant it would not be difficult. It had avoided the cliché of the book in the bookshelf, or the disguised lever on the wall. If perhaps related, its button was a rosette in a wall in the private bedroom of the Czar, but not only there but the bathroom. There was loose lips that were paid to learn this.<br/><br/>So now it was time to begin acting. Who knew how long those mouths would remain sealed.<br/><br/>Coming on the end of the tunnel Vasiliy knew the time was fast approaching. Preparations were all but done. He stopped on his trail, scanning his flashlight up the large iron door that now block his way. Beyond it was the red line and their best chance of getting out alive. That last minute siren of doubt spoke to him. She said it was suicide, it was fruitless. That they'd best need an army.<br/><br/>But clicking off the flashlight to see the tunnel's darkness in all its glory Vasiliy shut her away and embraced that last awoken child in him. He was in one of Moscow's many great secrets, and it was time to feel it in its entirety.<br/><br/>Suicide or not.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Novosibirsk</div><br/><br/>A dark sky drifted in over the capital of the Siberian communist state. With it, so too did the lights of the city turn on. The streets glowed and buzzed with amber light as the lamp-posts hummed to life and so too the houses, apartments, and buildings along the narrow streets. Novosibirsk shifted from its day-time life to the night-life as Chinese manufactured cars ferried the families and workers of the city to evening shows or bars for a night of respite from work, and to distance themselves from the war.<br/><br/>Despite the conflict moving in their favor, there was almost a cautionary tension in the city because of it. In some way, the phantom fears of the post-war riots of their first war with the Republic still hang over the minds and consciousness of the people.<br/><br/>An Angua stood with his back turned to the table. Cast in the glow of warm incandescent light and with the soft glow of street lights against his back he stood to address the small room of Chinese intelligence agents, and their Siberian partners. He held the room in waiting silence with still statuesque eyes. They sat in a room at the top of a three-story town-house, which had become the inconspicuous center of Siberian operations for the Intelligence Bureau. Just outside the window the long straight march of one of Novosibirsk's main drags raced towards the river.<br/><br/>“Our men now have well and now crossed the Om River.” the chief of intelligence to Huei Wen began, he held out his right hand, open palm. His long face stiff as a boulder as he looked out at the men sitting or standing around the spacious top-floor sitting room. Some with their arms crossed leaned against the red and white candy-cane stripped wallpaper. Others yet sat around a tea table in the middle of the room, where a warm kettle sat at its center as a polite offering, “And they go further. Tyumen has been liberated from the Republican foes and Comrade Wen continues his march to the eastern-most capital of Yekaterinburg.<br/><br/>“They leave behind them an extensive span of un-watched, or under-guarded territory.” Angua continued, “There is admittedly little that Comrade Wen can accomplish to this effect, or Comrade Afanasi. Both must consolidate their numbers at key locations to police this new territory. But, if the first war was an example: some party will take advantage of this and destabilize the war.”<br/><br/>He let his words hang in the air as he held out his other hand and opened the palm, completing in his mind the image of conquest and consolidation, “It befalls the men in the shadows to hold this territory and to consolidate it for them. Acting on our own powers, resources, and terror to identify and carve from the landscape the opposition that would rear back up and bite the glorious mission in the ankles and drag us back from where we began limping and wounded.”<br/><br/>Wrapping his hands behind him he stepped aside and turned to the window. Looking out at the kaleidoscope of light and night in the streets and alleys he continued, “In 1976 dissatisfaction with the war in part from dissident factions tore through the streets of Novosibirsk demanding the head of Nikolov Nitski. To calm their anger comrade Nitski was forced to end the war. This we know, this we all know.<br/><br/>“Though their faith in the cause has dissipated in the events after, and civil war has allowed us to hunt down and destroy the worst of the reactionaries I feel there may still be the threat. And one that will become darkly galvanized with the more Russian home-land that we lead to liberation.<br/><br/>“The future for us will no doubt not be clean. But I say: when has it not? But what we may do is necessary, and we shouldn't forget it.”<br/><br/>Silence began.<br/><br/>It was a persistent contemplative quiet that rested on all the ears. Outside the traffic of the streets rattled muffled through the windows. In the lower floors soft music dripped up through the floorboards and echoed up the narrow staircases to where they were now.<br/><br/>“Do we know who we're targeting?” a Russian agent asked, his heavy bear hands were wrapped about his burly barrel chest. A thick beard hung like moss from his chin, but otherwise his head was bald, even his eyebrows.<br/><br/>“The Mafiya I feel will be our most important organized threat.” Angua answered, he tapped the window glass, “And they're somewhere in the city, they're over the country. How many affiliates I'm not certain, but that will in our cause to find out. Any individual who we have suspicions might be dealing with now, or had dealt with the Mafiya in the past will be held under our lens. We'll chip our way into their ranks and burn it out from the inside.”<br/><br/>The Russian man nodded along, blue eyes shown with a knowing and eagerness as a wanting smile crawled under his heavy facial hair, “We must break them.” Angua continued, “It will be a hard task for certain. But we should not shy away from whatever tools we have at our disposal.<br/><br/>“Secondly, we should investigate and pursue any leads as to the Resurrection movement from the past. They may be dead, but I will not excuse my doubts on their viability to seek out any remaining rebellious groups. Old, former leaders may still be in contact with others.<br/><br/>“But since the civil war many of these men have been filed or are imprisoned. This gives us ultimate freedom to re-open their information and crawl through their leads to retrace the lines of relationships. Do not consider any connection innocent, have your suspicions comrades: and then prove them. The stability of the mission and of the Revolution depends on it.”<br/><br/>“Fine, fine,” smiled the Russian bear, “But can I ask another question?”<br/><br/>“You may.” Angua bowed.<br/><br/>“Who is organizing this?” he asked, “Beijing? Novosibirsk? Who are we working for?”<br/><br/>“Neither.” Angua replied, to the surprise of the room. He glossed over the surprised faces with a blank expression, “That is to say I have not been sanctioned to put this together by either government. This is an independent mission and we will use our own independent programs to see it out. But the information we acquire does not go to either command, but to all of us.<br/><br/>“I understand this interferes with our oaths and our loyalties. And I invite any of you in this room who do not see this as complimentary to the current larger mission at hand to depart. But I hope, and request of you to put aside this meeting, forget about it, and to not speak of it.<br/><br/>“I can not be sure how well our enemies are embedded, and in some ways we must suspect our commanders even as being the enemy. Ours is a army built on suspicion, do not stop from questioning.”<br/><br/>Again, the same nervous silence washed over the present men. Some shuffled, look to their neighbors with deep wondering looks. Waiting to see if the other would get up and turn from the room. To Angua, this was to know where their own loyalties lay: to men or to revolution.<br/><br/>He breathed a breath of euphoric relief and happiness when no one turned to the door, and he cracked a thin smile as the deal was sealed. At the center of the room a Chinese agent leaned forward from his chair, pulling his revolver from his coat, and placing it on the table before him. “My gun is yours!” he declared. A bald head gleamed in the light, and a faded tattoo of a serpentine dragon traced the lines of his high, wide cheekbones to his eyes and then up to his brow, opening its snarling bear mouth against the glossy dome of his head.<br/><br/>“How do we procede?” he asked.<br/><br/>“That is exactly what we must know now: how, and where do we start.”</div>"

The meeting was being held in the conference room next door to Tennessee governor James Fogle's office. Fogle protested Reed bringing Wolde and his followers in the capital, let alone the governor's own office space, but Vice President Reed shut him up with a curt word and sent him back to his office.<br/><br/>""Now I want you to know President Norman agrees with what you're doing. He sent me down here to meet with y'all and to hear you out. He'd come in person, but matters in Washington are taking his time.""<br/><br/>""We've seen the news,"" said Wolde. ""Everyone up there seems to be losing their minds about this whole African war thing.""<br/><br/>""They call you the Ethiopian, yes?"" Reed asked. ""Spent some time there before coming back here. I see several of you are wearing Pan-African flags on your lapels. I guess I know what you all make of the war.""<br/><br/>""Naked aggression, Mr. Vice President, nothing more than imperialist greed from Spain. I believe the president partially agrees with me based on his comments to Congress a few months ago, but yet he seems to delay on sending aid to my adopted homeland.""<br/><br/>""It's not that simple,"" Reed said with another grin. ""Legislation and bills take time and debate before they can be passed.""<br/><br/>""We know the legislative process, Mr. Vice President,"" Sarah said with a hint of sadness behind her voice. ""We know how politicians delay and kill bills, how they horse trade and cut deals while people suffer. The people of Africa are facing war while the colored people here face oppression...""<br/><br/>Reed started to reply, but Sarah raised a hand to cut him off.<br/><br/>""We support the people in Africa because at least they're able to fight back.""<br/><br/>""Mr. Vice President,"" Wolde said, placing an arm on Sarah's shoulder. ""This young woman here has been with us since the very beginning, as has her father here on the other side of me. James, show Vice President Reed your mouth.""<br/><br/>James opened wide, showing Reed his mouth of metal wiring. <br/><br/>""What happened?"" Reed asked.<br/><br/>""A Mississippi policeman groped his daughter. He thought he was in his rights as a father to protect his daughter.""<br/><br/>""The policeman had other ideas,"" James said through his wire tightened mouth. ""Ideas that involved a billy club and my jaw.""<br/><br/>""Every day,"" said Wolde. ""Mr. Reed, every day the millions of colored people in this country are in a struggle. It's the struggle to get up every morning, to take a job that pays a fraction of what a white man earns, to play nice and mind your manners and not look to long at the white folks if you don't want any trouble. The stores take our money, but they won't let us come in the front door. This government asks us to fight for freedom, but we can't fight for our own. A hundred plus years after the end of slavery and we're still on our knees.""<br/><br/>James saw the emotional look on Reed's face. The vice president swallowed hard and nodded.<br/><br/>""We want to rise up, Mr. Vice President. We don't want to stand above white people, we want to stand as equals. Is that so much to ask for, sir?""<br/><br/>""It isn't,"" Reed said after he cleared his throat. ""It's goddamn basic decency. I promise you, all three of you, that when I get back to Washington I will do all I can to see some kind of civil rights bill passed by this Congress.""<br/><br/>""We've heard the promises before, Mr. Vice President,"" said James. ""For years we been hearing promises. What we haven't seen is follow up on those promises.""<br/><br/>""You will this year, by God,"" Reed said softly. ""You will this year.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">The White House<br/>Washington D.C.</span><br/><br/>A secretary escorted Clay Foulke and the rest of the Democratic House leadership through the halls of the West Wing. Behind Clay was House Majority Leader Harry Hayes and Chief Whip Jennifer Armstrong. Clay glanced behind him and saw Harry and Jenn had that nervous look that came when you were called to the Oval Office. For his part, Clay had become used to it. It got old after the sixth time he had to come up here and get his marching orders from the General. As much as Clay wanted the Speaker gavel, he wasn't too happy about playing second banana to the president. Because of President Fernandez's political leanings, Russ Reed's Senate Majority Leader job meant he had been the top Democrat in the country. He got to dictate their legislative stategy in the Senate and House and to hell with the White House. Now with Reed as VP Clay had been looking forward to being his own man... but now President Norman made sure he couldn't scratch his balls without presidential approval.<br/><br/>""Clay,"" the president stood as the three Congressmen entered.<br/><br/>President Norman's company for the meeting included Secretary of State Lilian Mather and Secretary of Defense Phillip Dalton. Clay recognized the young woman at Mather's side. A State Department wonk who served as Mather's right-hand woman. Handshakes and greetings were exchanged before the seven men and women settled into the couches and chairs in front of the Oval Office desk.<br/><br/>""Thank you all for meeting me,"" President Norman said with a look around the room. ""I know you all have busy schedules, so thank you for taking the time to come here. I'll cut straight to the matter. This bill that Congressmen Lewis introduced, the foreign aid one. Where is it at?""<br/><br/>""In committee,"" said Clay. ""It's in the appropriations committee under debate.""<br/><br/>""Who is the chair of that committee?"" Mather asked.<br/><br/>""Walsh out of Oregon's Third District,"" Jen answered. ""Democrat, of course, in his fifth term. Caucuses with the rest of the western liberals.""<br/><br/>""Like every Democrat on that committee, He's indebted to the leadership for his assignment,"" Clay said with a nod towards Jen. ""The bill dies in committee if we say so, Mr. President.""<br/><br/>Norman nodded and leaned back in his chair, his hands wrapped behind his head. While he was lost in thought, the old admiral took up the thread. <br/><br/>""What are the chances of the bill getting out of committee if you don't back it?""  Dalton asked. <br/><br/>""The Democratic majority is too overwhelming,"" Harry replied in his thick Southern drawl. ""A lot of the people on Appropriations want to stay there. Pissing us off will see them swiftly removed. And hell, even if it made it out of that committee the Rules Committee would hamstring it with rules and bury it on the calendar. It wouldn't see the light of day until the year 2000.""<br/><br/>""Let it pass,"" Norman finally said. He pulled his hands down and leaned forward in his chair. ""The story is already out on the bill, so we look bad if we try to bury it. Pass it through the House. The Republicans might try to claim credit but don't let them. Lewis isn't affiliated with Republican leadership and from all accounts he did this on his own accord. Lewis gets credit for introducing it, but we get credit for making it happen. The Republicans can either fight it, which make them look petty, or go along with it which makes them look weak.""<br/><br/>""What about the Senate?"" Clay asked.<br/><br/>""We'll worry about that when the time comes,"" said the president. ""I'll get the Senate leadership into the Oval Office when Vice President Reed returns from the South and we'll work it out.""<br/><br/>The young woman next to Mather leaned forward and whispered in her ear. She nodded before addressing the president.<br/><br/>""Sir, what about the repercussions of this bill? First off, we're sending aid to a country that hasn't really asked for it. Secondly, this may provoke action from Spain.""<br/><br/>Norman ran a long, slender finger under his chain and took in the Secretary of State's information.<br/><br/>""Does State still have people in Addis Ababa?""<br/><br/>""We have an ambassador and skeleton crew there, yes sir.""<br/><br/>""Have them put out feelers to the government. I figure they'll be happy with any help they can get, but if you want confirmation then we can get it.""<br/><br/>""And the other thing?"" Dalton asked. ""Spain?""<br/><br/>The president let a small smile escape his usually stoic demeanor. ""Spain is striking into the heart of Africa while China and the Third International are getting into the conflict. They have bigger fish to fry, Phil.""<br/><br/>Dalton and Norman shared a smile and a knowing look between them. Clay remembered that both men served during the two wars, wars fought against Spain amongst other foes. If the war against Spain was going to become a dog pile, Clay imagined two old soldiers like Norman and Dalton would relish the chance get in a few kicks Spain while it was down.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Rome, Georgia</span><br/><br/>""A vote for Jim Sanderson is a vote for Georgia!""<br/><br/>The crowd at the political rally cheered as the MC whipped them up into a frenzy. Russell Reed stood behind the stage with Jim Sanderson while the MC continued. Reed had his chief of staff and a few secret service agents that shadowed him everywhere while Sanderson's entourage included his campaign staff and a few movers and shakers from this part of Northwest Georgia. Sanderson's glad-handing of the local bosses was part of getting elected in the state. The governor of Georgia appointed Sanderson to fill Russell's unfinished term in the Senate after the presidential election. The appointment was a temporary one, the permanent replacement to be named in a special statewide election due to take place in a week.<br/><br/>Georgia, like all the South, was solidly Democratic. As long as there was a little D beside the name on the ballot, you got elected. The problem with the special election was Governor Taliaferro made it an open one regardless of party. Jim was just one of three different Democrats running for the seat. Everyone knew the governor did it because one of the campaigners included himself. His term as governor was due to expire soon. Taliaferro, in his second term, was barred by the state constitution to run for a third term. He needed employment and eyed the Senate as that place.<br/><br/>""Fuck Taliaferro,"" Sanderson said into Russell's ear. ""Making me have to work for this shit. ""<br/><br/>""He's trying to upend us,"" Russell said back into Sanderson's ear. ""Now that I'm VP, he thinks that means he can take over control of the state. He smells blood in the water, and you need to show him that it's his own blood, Jim. We need to remind that asshole who controls Georgia.""<br/><br/>""Are y'all ready for Senator Sanderson's good friend?!"" The MC yelled.<br/><br/>""My cue,"" Russell said as he stifled a yawn. He'd come to Rome straight from Nashville, riding overnight and getting little sleep. The still had five more campaign stops to make in Northern Georgia before the day was through.<br/><br/>""Ladies and gentlemen, welcome your former Senator and current Vice President of the United States... Russell Reed!""<br/><br/>Reed bounced up the stage and on to it with his arms spread to the crowd. He smiled wide and waved big in the way the rubes usually ate up. There was applause, but he could read the crowd right away and tell something was wrong. There was an uneasy buzzing amongst the people he didn't like. The applause died away quickly and left Russell standing on the stage while murmurs rippled through the crowd.<br/><br/>""Thank y'all, thank y'all so much. It's good to be back in Georiga, especially here in Rome. First time I been here in at least five years. Now... I want to talk to y'all about Jim Sanderson. Y'all know...""<br/><br/>Russell trailed off when he heard the hissing and the boos. They started at the back before gaining and overpowering him. He tried to calm the crowd, to take back the initiative, but failed. Scowling, he stepped off the stage and heard a few chants of the word ""Nigger lover.""<br/><br/>""What the fuck is going on out there,"" Russell raged to Sanderson and his campaign staff.<br/><br/>Suddenly, one of Sanderson's men shoved a paper in his hand. It was a copy of that day's <span class=""bb-i"">Atlanta Constitution</span> with a front page story about Nashville. The strapline mentioned his secret meeting with Wolde and the other protestors. <br/><br/>""We should have known about this before you came here, Mr. Vice President,"" one of Sanderson's staff member said.<br/><br/>""Fogle,"" Russell said to himself. ""That goddamn son of a bitch told the press about that meeting.""<br/><br/>He ripped the paper in two and tossed the shreds to the ground. He felt his face turning red with rage while the booing of the crowd intensified.<br/><br/>""No offense, Russ,"" Sanderson said cooly. ""But the best thing you can do for me right now is get the hell out of Georgia and as far away from me as possible.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chicago</span><br/><br/>Johnny Leggario smoked a cigarette and walked around the Cheetah Room. The place was hopping with the usual crowd of middle-aged losers and college boys drooling over the girls. Sinful Sindy danced on the main stage, a pair of pasties covered her nipples but showed everything else. She wiggled her ample behind along with the uptempo blues number. The rapt audience tossed bills on to the stage and cheered her on. Johnny finished off his cigarette and lit another on the way to the bar. Mel the bartender handed him his usual Jack and Coke that was mostly Jack. He nursed it and watched the crowd going about its business. <br/><br/>The idea of strip clubs always struck him as bizarre. It was nothing but pure titillation with no resolution. Horny men coming here was like a starving man getting a bowl of wax fruit. Just get a hooker and be done with it, he figured. It cost a lot less and had a lost less bullshit attached. He couldn't complain, though. The Cheetah Room was easily the most successful skin joint on the Southside. The girls were teases but they looked damn good doing it. Johnny thought as much as he saw Sindy stretch her lean body across the metal pole. The place could run legit and make money hand over fist, but laundering the Outfit's money and pushing Bobby C's dope and coke put them into the stratosphere of money making. And for his troubles Johnny got a twenty percent cut. <br/><br/>Johnny's take in the joint was more than enough for him. Lots of wiseguys ended up dead or in the clink because they got greedy and stupid. Johnny skimmed off the top of the Cheetah Room's take, but that was expected. He took just enough to not arouse suspicion. A guy who took too much got killed, and a guy who didn't take at all raised a lot of red flags. An honest man in this profession was a weirdo. Johnny made sure his skim was right in the middle and enough to keep anyone asking any questions.<br/><br/>""Johnny,"" Jeff the bouncer said as he came up. ""Guy wants to see you.""<br/><br/>Johnny took his drink and followed Jeff towards the front. Just inside the front door were two men in ill-fitting suit. One was short and fat and Johnny didn't recognize him. He had thick glasses that made his eyes look giant, and his hair was cut short almost down to being bald. The other was gray-headed and lean. His hair was slicked back with grease and he wore a trim mustache that tried to distract people from the pockmarks on his face. The pockmarked one Johnny knew.<br/><br/>""Mick Mahoney,"" he said with a quick handshake. ""Your Irish fuck, you owe me six grand. Give me one goddamn good reason not to let my guy Jeff take you out back and beat you until you piss blood?""<br/><br/>""Johnny--,"" Mick said with a nervous laugh. ""Johnny, I got a way to pay you back. I--"" he motioned towards the fat man. ""We have something you might be interested in.""<br/><br/>Johnny sighed and checked his watch. Fuck it, he thought. Nothing else to do tonight. He led the two men into the back offic and sat behind his desk while the other two men sat down in the folding chairs opposite him. Mick pulled out a cigarette while the short fat man got out a cigar.<br/><br/>""Where's your manners, Mick?"" Johnny asked. ""Introduce me to your friend.""<br/><br/>""Yeah, this is Prussian Joe.""<br/><br/>""Johann,"" the fat man said in a thick German accent. ""They started calling me Prussian Joe in Joliet.""<br/><br/>""Did time in the clink?"" Johnny asked.<br/><br/>""Ja. Five year stretch for armed robbery."" <br/><br/>""Fascinating,"" Johnny said as he looked at his fingernails. ""Now explain why I shouldn't beat your ass for just affiliating with this deadbeat Malone?""<br/><br/>""Mr. Legarrio,"" Prussian Joe said as he laid his hands on the desk. ""Mick has brought me to you because he says you are a man who is a man of action. How true is this?""<br/><br/>""Depends on the action,"" Johnny said non-committedly. ""And depends on my cut from said action.""<br/><br/>""Prussian Joe and I were cellmates,"" said Mick. He nodded as he spoke, eager to talk fast and please. ""A few years back when I went away for that bunko beef? Joe and I got to talking and he told me his plan after I told him about my connections. I got out and he came to see me when he got out.""<br/><br/>""What plans?"" Johnny asked with a raised eyebrow.<br/><br/>""The First National Bank Downtown,"" said Prussian Joe. ""I have a plan to rob it. It's been in place for sometime, we have only to act. If we pull it off, we can walk away with at least ten million. What do you think of that type of action, Mr. Legarrio?""<br/><br/>Johnny finished his smoke and took his sweet time finding another one and lighting it up before answering.<br/><br/>""I think I'd like to hear more.""</div>"

The regulators clamped firmly within their mouths let off billowing curtains of bubbles with each exhalation. Hoses ran from the mouthpieces to long cylinders of compressed air mounted onto bodies clad with close-fitting rubber wetsuits. Long, webbed fins extended out from their legs, giving each of these beings the ability to give powerful kicks against the water. In spite of their monstrous appearance, these creatures of sea were in fact human. They were <span class=""bb-i"">hombres ranas</span> - frogmen - the salvage divers of the Spanish Armada.<br/><br/>The sea around them resounded with the sharp pulse of air flowing from the pressurized airtanks into their mouths, followed by the gurgle of a thousand bubbles of spent breath trickling surfaceward. Diving with such a system made it possible to remain underwater for an hour or more: plenty of time to accomplish their appointed task.<br/><br/>Steely eyes behind bug-eyed facemasks surveyed the underwater world rising up to meet the frogmen. A landscape of brightly-colored corals - the surface of an alien realm - manifested just below them. A school of anchovies moved across the teeming reef below in a shimmering, undulating cloud. A pair of hammerheads harried the anchovies along, repulsing the swarm of tiny fish whenever the hammerheads approached. The sharks disengaged from the anchovies and made an ambling, lazy pass by the divers. Sharks very seldom gave the salvage divers any trouble, but that didn't stop one of the frogmen from pre-emptively gathering his powerhead in his arms. Even while under the sea, the Spanish were prepared for a fight. In addition to various salvage tools, each diver carried with him a fiberglass rod terminating in a firing tube upon which a shotgun slug was mounted. With a deft jab into the intended target, the powerhead would discharge directly into anything that got close enough to threaten its wielder, issuing a swift death to even the most aggressive undersea beasts.<br/><br/>But the Armada had not issued the frogmen their powerheads with sharks or barracudas in mind.<br/><br/>The Armada's command chain had learned that Ethiopia had lost something very dear off the desert isle of Socotra. Surely enough, after a week of conducting sonar sweeps around the island, the <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin</span> found what the admirals sought: the unmistakable profile of an airplane resting upon the seabed. The Spanish suspected - hoped - that the Emperor had allowed some sort of secret weapon to fall within Sotelo's grasp.<br/><br/>Now, with their own eyes, they could see the wreckage. Beyond where the reef dropped off into an open plain of furrowed sandbeds, pale aluminum wings stretched outward against the blue abyss. As they approached the derelict plane, the story of how it came to arrive at the bottom of the Gulf of Aden was revealed. The fuselage was peppered with bullet holes, and the left engine pod had been completely mangled by a machine gun fusillade. Wide, swathes of sooty black scorchmarks fanned out from the ruined engine and mottled the rest of the wing. The nose end of the plane, including the cockpit, had snapped off completely save for a twisted sinew of metal and wiring that kept it attached to the wreckage - a wound that likely occurred during the water landing. The tattered nose of the airplane rested in a crumpled heap underneath the right wing.<br/><br/>Some of the frogmen pulled strings attached to the vests wrapped around their torsos, allowing air trapped in buoyant bladders within the vest to vent out as a gurgling string of bubbles. With the excess air released, they sank down to just a few feet off the sandbed, sending little crabs and long-legged shrimp scurrying away to safety. Some of the other divers circled around the wreckage, searching the site with powerheads in hand for any hazard or sign of trouble. A pair of divers descended to investigate the remains of the cockpit. Within a coffin of spiderwebbed glass, a pair of skeletons slumped against their seats clad in pilots coveralls. The two Spaniards watched with apathetic interest as a tiny guppy swam about one vacant eye socket and nibbled at a scrap of flesh. In a cloud of disturbed sand - the pair left the cadavers to the scavengers and regrouped with the rest of the party near the opening of the fuselage.<br/><br/>At the yawning entrance of the decapitated airplane, the Spaniards conducted a final check of the equipment they had brought down with them from the <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin</span>. Two inspected the tethers of steel cable they had brought down, which terminated in heavy duty carabiner hooks and ran all the way to winches onboard the ship. Another diver tested a hydraulic pincer, pressing the claw-like tool against a section of the airplane's aluminum skin. An audible whine could be heard through the water as the twin blades of the implement bit hard into sheet metal and left a long, clean cut through the aluminum. The other divers were equipped with more mundane tools - prying tools, hammers, and crescent wrenches - but they were well prepared to bring any valuable Ethiopian hardware back to the surface nonetheless. With their gear assured to be in good working order, the divers slowly filtered inside the plane.<br/><br/>As the divers floated inside the cavernous fuselage, they quickly discovered they were not alone; illuminated in a ghostly beam of blue light filtering in through a porthole, was the spectral form of a skeleton wrapped in a white dress. The dress, stained and muddied by prolonged exposure to seawater, billowed and ebbed in the currents. The skeleton sat upright against the hull, still restrained to the bench seat where she had spent the final moments of her life, as if to watch the frogmen as they entered her underwater tomb. A chill ran up the spine of more than one Spanish diver.<br/><br/>Refocusing their attention on the task at hand, the frogmen took note of the massive object that dominated the airplane's interior. Surrounded by clusters of nondescript schoolfish was a crate so large that it almost seemed like the airplane was built around it. Satin blankets that had once been colored in rich, royal colors had shifted about in the crash and lay strewn all throughout the back side of the fuselage. The crate itself was abnormal as well, solid hardwood - perhaps teak. Given its quality, it seemed like the last material someone would ever use to make something as mundane as a crate.<br/><br/>Unless that crate carried something valuable indeed.<br/><br/>One of the divers approached the crate with what looked like a modified crowbar. He planted his webbed feet against the floor of the airplane, pressed the chiseled end between two planks, and attempted to pry the crate apart. The planks, however, didn't budge. Not only was the crate luxurious, it was thick. But not thick enough to withstand the hydraulic pincer. Its wielder placed a corner beam in the maw of the device and started it. A cracking sound reverberated through the airplane as the blades dug deep into the wood and snapped the beam in half. Another three cuts around the top of the crate and some prying by the other divers finally resulted in the separation of the top from the rest of the crate. At last, the Spaniards removed the top and allowed it to sink unceremoniously to the floor.<br/><br/>Upon looking upon the crate's contents, their eyes bulged in their masks.<br/><br/>Inside the crate was a chest made of a yellowish wood darkened by the passage of millennia. Its facets were adorned with inlays of brilliant gold. Two beams of wood ran lengthwise along the artifact, each held a safe distance from the object itself by gilded rungs. The top of this box was entirely covered in the same majestic gold. A glassy surface of smooth gold formed the cover, which was adorned with a golden figure depicting a pair of four-winged angels. Each angel kneeled before the other one, shrouding its body with one set of wings while forming a crown of outstretched feathertips over the box with the other set.<br/><br/>Being the devout Spaniards they were, each diver recognized immediately that they had laid eyes upon the Ark of the Covenant.<br/><br/>The pace of their gurgling regulators increased, leaving a shimmering cloud of bubbles trapped against the ceiling of the airplane. For some time, the divers hung idly against the open crate, dumbstruck by their discovery. Underwater, nobody could communicate with one another to say what should be done with such a relic. But they all understood that no matter what, something as precious as the Ark could not be left to wither and rot on the seafloor. It had to come to the surface, that much was unanimously understood.<br/><br/>The pincer made short work of the airplane's roof; a square large enough for the Ark to pass through upward toward the surface was quickly opened, allowing the six winch cables down into the fuselage. Knowing full well the fate that befell the who laid hands directly upon the Ark, the Spaniards took immense care to avoid touching the relic itself and slid the carabiner rungs over the handle beams, lest they suffer the same fate as ancient Uzzah.<br/><br/>Three deft tugs were given upon the cables: the signal for the crane operator to activate the winch. At last, the Ark of the Covenant rose from its crate up toward the long shadow cast by the <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin</span>. The frogmen swam upward to accompany it, watching the ancient relic intently to assure no harm came to it. So intently, in fact, that the divers failed to note the cluster of dinghies surrounding the ship, nor the red tint to the water around its hull.<br/><br/>The crown of seraph wings burst through the surface with a crash of frothy seawater, and came to a stop beneath the arm of the Delfin's onboard salvage crane. The divers that had released the Ark from it's watery tomb soon cleared the surface as well, tearing the regulators out of their mouths and breathing unassisted for the first time in an hour. As they pulled their facemasks up onto their foreheads, they were greeted by a quick succession of firearm reports.<br/><br/>Waiting for them on the loading deck at the rear of <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin</span> was a macabre sight. Meandering trickles of watery blood ran off the stern into the waves, emanating from a pile of unceremoniously-stacked bodies - bodies the divers recognized as the deckhands and officers of the <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin</span>. The cold eyes of a cadre of gunmen standing vigil about the ship focused themselves upon the surfaced divers. The gunmen did not appear to belong to a well regimented military organization; for their clothing was a mismatched hodgepodge of hand-me-down combat clothing and battle dress from many nations. The only article of their uniforms that spoke of any cohesion were black vests adorned with a purple eye. The same symbol flew upon a black flag that hung upon the <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin's</span> mast where the flag of the Spanish Republic was normally flown.<br/><br/>Standing at the bow of the ship stood a man with a flowing purple robe, with an immaculately-folded turban of the same color resting atop his head. The figure, who had been enrapt with the Ark of the Covenant dangling above the waves, at last took note of the bewildered frogmen floating nearby. The divers had outlived their usefulness; with a dismissive wave of his hand, the robed figure bid his gunmen to shoot.<br/><br/>____________________________<br/><br/>Another burst of gunfire echoed across the water, sending adrenaline pumping through the priest's bloodstream once again. He waited for a time after relative silence settled over the ship before peering over the lip of the vessel from his hiding spot. The fore deck of the ship was still spattered with blood and littered with bullet casings from the initial gunfight.<br/><br/>For the past hour, the priest had been hanging from the anchor chain of the ship, waiting for the moment the ferengi were the least alert to emerge from his hiding spot and remove the threat the invaders posed to the Holy Tabot. Once the divers had descended, he reasoned, he would strike out against the invaders.<br/><br/>But just before the priest made his attack, what seemed to be a mutiny broke out - firefights broke out without warning throughout the ship. Shortly thereafter, inflatable boats arrived from the island, carrying armed gunmen who boarded the ship and assisted the mutineers in wresting control of the ship from the ferengi.<br/><br/>At first, the priest had hoped that the Lord had sent the Emperor's fighting men against the ferengi. But after watching the execution of the Spanish at the hands of the boarders and embedded mutineers, it became apparent that a darker power had taken control of this vessel  and - if the Spanish divers could retrieve it - the Tabot.<br/><br/>With the immediate area clear, the priest climbed overboard at last and crept along the deck of the ferengi ship, removing the knife from between clenched teeth and twirling it about in his hand. Stealthily and unseen, he made his way toward the rear of the vessel, where the divers had jumped off into the sea.<br/><br/>Hanging over the water, he saw the Holy Tabot. Hanging above the churning waves from a number of cables affixed to a small crane was the physical manifestation of the alliance between the Lord and his chosen people, still dripping with seawater. A monstrous travesty. These invaders would pay with their lives. By his hand, they would all feel the wrath of the Lord of Israel and the House of Solomon.<br/><br/>The priest's assault of the loading deck came with the ferocity and suddenness of lightning from a blue sky. One gunman - one of the original ferengi mutineers armed with a Spanish sidearm - only heard the thumping of bare feet on the deck before he felt the knife plunge through his neck. The priest withdrew his blade from between severed vertebrae and made for the next apostate.<br/><br/>He vaulted over a rack of airtanks and was upon a swarthy-skinned fighter from the Levant. This one made an attempt to defend himself, loosing a spray of bullets from a Great War firearm that drew the attention of the other gunmen. It was a futile attempt, and amidst the sparks of lead striking metal, the priest got in between the gunman and the barrel of said gun. The dagger tore from sternum to throat, and he fell in a bloody heap upon the deck. A hail of bullets honed in on this half-naked warrior priest as every armed man on the <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin</span> opened fire.<br/><br/>The priest moved swiftly to his next victim, using the crates and equipment scattered about the loading deck as cover from the murderous deluge of bullets. His next victim could only watch as the wild-haired Ethiopian lunged toward him with a knife in hand. In his robe and turban of royal purple, the priest reasoned this man standing on the edge of the bow near the suspended Ark must be the leader of these people. For such a role in this heinous affair, his death <span class=""bb-i"">had</span> to be assured.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian seized the robe-clad man by the shoulder, sending the turban tumbling behind him into the sea and revealing a smooth, bald head. The priest grabbed him tightly and presenting him before his accomplices like a human shield while placing his bloodied dagger against his throat. The gunmen immediately ceased their fire and the nearest three approached cautiously with firearms raised against the priest. Within fifty paces of the priest and his hostage, the Ethiopian threatened to press the blade down into the bald man's neck, giving his would-be rescuers pause. Save for the lapping of the waves against the ship's hull, the roaring hiss of an airtank ruptured by a bullet, and the heavy breathing of the Tabot's guardian, a tense silence fell upon <span class=""bb-i"">Delfin</span>.<br/><br/>""You have menaced the Holy Tabot of the Lord God of Israel and the House of Solomon. For this, you must all perish.""<br/><br/>None of them seemed to understand the priest's Amharic. The bald man, an olive-skinned man with the almond eyes of Asia, glanced to his accomplices. They seemed ready to set their firearms aside, but looked about to each other and their robe-clad leader for confirmation. The bald man gave a knowing nod, and the gunmen begrudgingly set their weapons on the floor. One of the fighters, upon setting his rifle on the deck, reached for a rack of powerheads and passed one to each of his partners. They then brandished the spearlike weapons, challenging the priest to his preferred means of combat.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhGEGIBGLu8"" rel=""nofollow"">((Suggested listening. Thanks to vilageidiotx for suggesting this.))</a><br/><br/>The priest released his hostage and accepted their challenge.<br/><br/>He twirled his knife about in his hands, inviting his combatants to make the first attack. Judging by their confused glaces to one another, it seemed they were not accustomed to combat with hand to hand weapons. Nonetheless, one of his opponents opened with a swift jab to his chest. He evaded the lunge, and brushed the powerhead away with his wrist before getting in close and pressing in with his dagger. His companions held the priest at bay, presenting the points of the powerhead spears at his chest.<br/><br/>The priest held his ground as the three attempted to encircle him, and parried away two jabs meant to force him into the reach of another powerhead. One of the combatants lunged at the priest at the moment he expected him to be caught unaware. But instead, the priest caught the lunging attacker by surprise: the Ethiopian seized hard upon the powerhead's fiberglass rod and pulled the weapon - along with it's wielder - in close. With his free hand, the priest plunged his dagger afgainst the attacker's clavicle. With a bloody gurgle, his opponent released the powerhead and collapsed to the deck. Now the priest had two weapons - one for each of his remaining opponents.<br/><br/>One of his remaining opponents, clearly one of the Spanish mutineers, took the offensive. He swung his powerhead down at the priest as if it were an ax while his surviving partner jabbed squarely for his head. The priest took the powerhead's shaft into both hands, allowing the knife to fall to the deck as he diverted the jab and held off the mutineer's swing. While his opponents recoiled, the priest twirled the powerhead around his arms and in one graceful, fluid motion, pressed the powerhead hard into the Spaniard's gut. To the priest's surprise, the sound of a gunshot rang out from where the weapon's point made contact. A spray of red mist materialized, and the mutineer crumpled to the deck clutching an oozing wound in his stomach.<br/><br/>Curious weapons indeed, the priest mused.<br/><br/>Now that he was alone against the warrior priest, his last remaining opponent appeared truly frightened. As if to say 'To Hell with this,' the apostate threw his powerhead to the deck and reached for the more familiar FE-74 he had set aside earlier. Understanding that he would not reach the man in time to dispatch him, and knowing the capabilities of this curious ferengi spear, the priest took his powerhead into his hand like a javelin. With a powerful throw, he launched the powerhead at the apostate.<br/><br/>This time, there was no gun-like report, but the spear found its mark regardless. His opponent groaned and fell to the deck, flailing to extricate the powerhead lodged in his neck. The priest could see it was not a fatal blow. He retrieved his fallen dagger from the deck and went over to finish his work. He stooped over his dying victim, plunged the dagger into his beating heart, and twisted.<br/><br/>The priest found himself too exhausted now to return immediately to his feet. His ribcage expanded and contracted for a few moments beneath coffee colored skin mottled with the blood of half a dozen men. After several labored breaths, he struggled to his feet, ready to kill the bald man in the purple robe.<br/><br/>But he was already behind him. The last thing the Ethiopian priest saw was the bald man crashing a rifle butt into his head.<br/></div>"

The sun was a beautiful golden ball as it began to slowly sink over the tree line. With Russell and his wife Robin back home, the Reed family had come from across the state for a party. He had no desire to see any of them. His daughter and two sons were one thing, but the distant cousins and aunts and uncles who he barely knew were just too much for him to take at the moment.<br/><br/>Two days had passed since the fiasco in Rome and he was still holed up here at the lake house. The papers in Georgia and the segregated south were ripping him apart for his meeting with Wolde and discussing his complaints. They cried that he was cajoling to dangerous radicals, that he was defying the constitution and laying the ground for full on communism in America. Wilbur Helms, that giant liver spot with eyebrows, wrote an editorial in a South Carolina paper saying that Russell was selling out the South, working as a puppet for the Norman Administration to step on the god-given rights of the state. Helms, the man who had a half black daughter, raged that federal desegregation was the start of a military dictatorship under Michael Norman Africanus I. Russell called the president several times over the last few days only to be told he was in a meeting and that he would get back to him as soon as possible. Like Jim Sanderson, President Norman wanted Russell as far away from him as possible.<br/><br/>""You're missing the party.""<br/><br/>Russell turned and saw Robin standing by the shore, her high heels in her hand as she walked barefoot across the sand. For twenty-five years this amazing woman had been by his side. They'd met at a political event in Elbert County where Robin was from. He was floored by her brains as much as her beauty. She was attending law school at UGA and had a razor-sharp mind for politics. As much as he respected the advice of the old pols and brilliant minds he knew, there was nobody else he trusted quite as much as her. Robin could read people and see all the angles almost as well as he could, but her strength lay in her compassion and sympathy. Had she lived in another place or another time, Russell she would have been the political star of the family instead of him. <br/><br/>Instead, she had to console herself to the role of key advisor. From the impossible highs to the unbearable lows she was always there. He made his ambition known to her shortly before their wedding and she accepted her life as a politician's wife. That fervent wish of his to one day sit in the Oval Office was known to her and only her. Robin never said it, but he knew very well she shared that dream. She wanted to see him there and be at his side as First Lady.<br/><br/>""I don't want to talk to any of them,"" he said as Robin took his hand into hers. ""I talked to Sally and the boys, and I saw and played with all the grandkids. I consider my family obligations through. I don't give a damn if my cousin Lee accidentally chopped off his little toe cutting firewood, or how the diabetes makes it hard for Auntie Miriam to get up the stairs. Besides...""<br/><br/>He pulled her hand up and kissed the knuckles, his eyes glittering in the evening sun.<br/><br/>""With you outside now, I have no need to go back inside.""<br/><br/>""Flattery will get you everywhere,"" she said with a grin.<br/><br/>""Not with some people.""<br/><br/>""How long do you plan to hide out here on the lake?""<br/><br/>Russell shrugged and slipped his hand away from hers. He began to pick more rocks up and throw them into the water. Now they weren't skipping at all, just sinking straight away.<br/><br/>""My value as VP is tied to the president's trust in me,"" he said through gritted teeth. ""How in the ever loving hell can I get him to trust me when I can't even control politics in my own state. We've got five goddamn days to get Jim Sanderson elected and this civil rights shit is hitting him as much as it's hitting me.""<br/><br/>""Do you regret meeting them?"" Robin asked. ""Knowing what you know now, would you still do it?""<br/><br/>He stopped throwing rocks and looked back at his wife for a long moment.<br/><br/>""No. I just regret it leaking. It's time, baby, we can't go on living with half of this country so goddamn hypocritical. 'Land of the free? Sure, but y'all just can't come in through the front door and don't think twice about eyeballing that white woman or we will lynch you, boy. And voting?'--""<br/><br/>Robin put a hand on Russell's back and rubbed it.<br/><br/>""Listen to you, the idealist.""<br/><br/>""Don't call me that,"" he snapped. ""I am not an idealist--""<br/><br/>""Sure,"" she said with a wink. ""I know you, honey. You're pragmatic as anybody else, or so you let them think. I've had your heart for a quarter of a century, I know how it works. You don't get moved much, but when you do everyone needs to get out the way. Once you're wound up, nothing stops you. You know what you need?""<br/><br/>""What's that?""<br/><br/>""Winding up. Go out there and show Taliaferro who controls this state. After that, we're going to go back to Washington and remind the President and Congress just who you are.""<br/><br/>He looked into his wife's eyes. Those deep green eyes that he loved to just look at for no other reason than the beauty and warmth that radiated for him. It was odd to hear her talking so bluntly while her eyes were filled with so much love.<br/><br/>""Whose that? Because ever since the election, I feel like I don't know who I am.""<br/><br/>Robin pulled him close and kissed him softly. ""You are my husband, Russell Reed, the man who has dominated national politics for nearly twenty years. The man who can read and bully and motivate men like nobody else. Forget your title, forget the Constitution, forget the hangups that come with the vice presidency and just do what you do best..."" <br/><br/>They kissed again and she held him close.<br/><br/>""Win.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Sun City, Arizona</span><br/><br/>Roderick Marston adjusted his tie and looked out through the two-way mirror down onto the casino floor. Old ladies chain-smoked unfiltered cigarettes while they worked clattering slot machines with dead eyes. A half dozen dolled up ex-strippers wobbled across the floor on too tall heels while they dished out chips and cigarettes. The heavy make-up did a bad job of hiding the miles and the years. Roderick figured for the right price a man could take one of them home. Drunk businessmen played blackjack while geeks in Hawaiian shirts and Shriner fez hats played roulette.<br/><br/>""Everything looks to be in working order,"" Roderick said to the man behind the desk.<br/><br/>The sprawling office above the casino floor was decorated in a very gaudy fashion that included leopard print wallpaper and a faux fur carpet. Fake Venus De Milo statues flanked a walnut desk big enough to hold an orgy on. The desk looked out on the long mirrored glass where Roderick stood. Behind the desk, his leopard fur slippers up on the desk, was Benny D'Amico. He wore a bright pink shirt with half of it unbuttoned, a large gold necklace and medallion caught in the steely gray fur on his chest. He also wore a white pair of pants that would have looked embarrassing on a man half his age but made Benny look clownish.<br/><br/>The Desert Rose Hotel &amp; Casino was <span class=""bb-i"">the</span> casino on the Sun Strip. Like all the big joints in Sun City, the Boys from back east owned it. The Fortunato Family from New York had the Lucky Gent, while LA's Valestra Family co-owned the Lion's Den with the Kansas City Como Family. The Desert Rose belonged to the Chicago Outfit. Benny was their point man. Roderick owned points in the Desert Rose and the Lucky Gent. Not enough to make some noise, but enough so that he never had to worry about money.<br/><br/>""Suckers come in with cash, they leave lacking it. Sunrise, sunset,"" Benny said with a shrug. <br/><br/>""My friends at the Arizona Gaming Commission are very interested in how much of your take is getting skimmed. They say they may launch an investigation into the Desert Rose's books.""<br/><br/>Benny's face went a deep red that matched the scarlet tie Roderick wore. The AGC was without a doubt the most powerful force in the state. The five-man board decided the rules and regulations that dictated the gaming industry in Arizona. Other states across the country had gaming or some sort or another, be it a lottery or on-site horse race betting, but Arizona was the only state in the US that had fully legalized gambling. The gaming helped with the image of the state as a rowdy place. Arizona was the last of the forty-eight, the last part of the Wild West that got tamed. To Roderick, it was still the Wild West. He had the old bullet wounds to prove it.<br/><br/>""Fucking gaming commission assholes,"" Benny shouted. ""Always up my ass.""<br/><br/>""Relax."" Roderick placed his hands on the large desk looked down at Benny. ""You know they're just busting your balls until you cough up a big enough bribe.""<br/><br/>""Jesus... and they call me a fucking crook. You and your people are the goddamn crooks!""<br/><br/>Roderick sighed and checked his watch.<br/><br/>""I golf every other week with Red Mulligan, he's the chairman. I'll be in Phoenix with him the day after tomorrow. I'll talk to him and work out a deal. I already know he'll want points.""<br/><br/>Benny's face went from deep red to near purple. ""What? That's a bunch of bullshit, so now I gotta keep bribing this prick?""<br/><br/>""You give him enough points in the Rose, he'll keep the rest of the commission off your back, Benny. I promise you. He did the same shit with the Gold Dust down the street. Once he gets his points, no more problems.""<br/><br/>""Fucking Arizona,"" Benny mumbled. ""Back in Chicago, I could clip this goddamn cocksucker and everybody would be thankful for it. Back east, everyone knows how to take just their share and not get greedy. But out here, you all have your goddamn hands in everybody's pockets and keep wanting more and more--""<br/><br/>""What do I tell Mulligan,"" Roderick cut him off. ""Besides a string of expletives?""<br/><br/>""Four percent, alright?"" Benny said as he shook his head. ""And that's non-negotiable. Fucking Bobby C. is gonna whack me because I'm giving his money away to all you fucking crooks.""<br/><br/>Roderick said his goodbyes to Benny and left the Desert Rose out through the back. He got into his waiting car and looked out at the glowing, blinking lights of Sun City as his driver sped him across town to the conference center. Early in the evening and the town was already lit up in full glitz and glamor mode. He was a Sun City native, his dad an original city councilman back when the town was first incorporated. He remembered it as a sleepy desert town forty years ago and now it was the booming pleasure captial of America and Roderick loved every bit of it. This town was America right down to its core. Bright lights and the hope, the prospect that anybody could get lucky and hit it big. Like most of America, it was bullshit. The game was rigged and the house always won in the end. To Roderick, there was nothing more American than that.<br/><br/>At the conference center, he slipped in the back entrance and stood backstage waiting for his introduction.<br/><br/>""Rod,"" Red Mulligan said as he came up with his hand out. ""How'd it go with our friend?"" <br/><br/>""Four points, Red. That's all he'll give up.""<br/><br/>""Shit, Rod, that's only going to mean two for me when you get your cut.""<br/><br/>""It's free money,"" Roderick said with a shrug. ""Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Will you back off the Desert Rose?""<br/><br/>""For now,"" Red said with a scowl.<br/><br/>""Good, because that asshole already wants to kill you,"" Roderick said as he readjusted his tie and scrutinized his appearance. ""You push too hard and he'll push back hard. You'll go to start your car one day and you go sky high.""<br/><br/>""Ladies and gentlemen of the Sun County Republican Party,"" the MC said. ""Thank you for coming out to our annual Lincoln Day Dinner. Our guest needs no introduction, but how about I give him one anyway? Six years on the Arizona Gaming Commission, four years as a Congressman, and now in his second term as the junior US Senator from Arizona. Please welcome your senator, Rod Marston!"" <br/><br/>""Remember these mob guys are amateurs at grifting when it comes to guys like us.""<br/><br/>Roderick gave Red a playful wink before he came out onto the stage to thunderous applause. <br/><br/>------<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Boston</span><br/><br/>Elliot Shaw slowly opened the door of the bowling alley just enough to let him look out a small sliver in the door. Two heavyset men in suits were climbing out a car and talking to themselves.<br/><br/>""Think they're in that dump, Gino?"" The muscle on the left asked his buddy. <br/><br/>""I guess so. The guy's car is out front, where else could he be?""<br/><br/>Elliot stepped away and scampered back in the darkness just as the door swung open. The two men stepped into the abandoned bowling alley and tried to see through the shadows. Elliot watched and waited to take advantage for their confusion. The gun in his hand felt very heavy as he jumped and struck one of the men in the back of the head. He fell to the ground in a heap, the noise causing the other man to shout in alarm. <br/><br/>He felt meaty hands on his shoulders that tried to wrap themselves around him. He struggled and fought in the dark, reaching back and pistol whipping the man with the barrel of the gun. Elliot kept swinging until he felt blood hitting his hands. He pushed the man away and heard him fall to the ground.<br/><br/>""C'mon,"" he said to Jane in the dark ""We gotta get out here. These men were following me, this place isn't safe. Get your stuff, and we'll go.""<br/><br/>A few minutes later and the two were headed out the bowling alley to Elliot's car. He pulled a switchblade from his pocket and pierced the two front tires of the thugs' car with his knife. ""That'll slow him down,"" he said as he got in and started the car. ""I got a place you can stay and hide out. It's the last place they'll look.""<br/><br/>He peeled rubber leaving the dilapidated parking lot.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>""What's going on, Shaw?"" Helena asked from the other side of the door. <br/><br/>Elliot leaned against the doorframe and smiled ""Howdy, my dear. I was wondering if you'd let me inside.""<br/><br/>""Depends. Who's your friend?"" <br/><br/>He looked back at Jane and then back to Helena. ""I was trying to get a ménage à trois going. Wanted to know if you were up for it.""<br/><br/>""I told you I only like three-ways when two guys are involved.""<br/><br/>""Oh, well. A guy can dream. You gonna let us in?""<br/><br/>Helena stepped aside and let Elliot and Jane into her apartment. It was more than just an apartment. Penthouse would be more like it. Nice, open spaces and plenty of rooms. Not like the rattrap Elliot called home. Helena Murphy, Elliot's off and on girlfriend, was also a high-priced call girl.<br/><br/>""So what the hell is going on, Shaw?""<br/><br/>""Helena, this is Jane Wilson. Jane, meet Helena Murphy, she's my sweetie. You see, Jane, we're courting--"" <br/><br/>""--If that's what you call it--""<br/><br/>""--and I was hoping Helena would let you stay here for a while so we can figure this thing out.""<br/><br/>Before Helena can voice her protest, her phone began to ring. She walked across the room and answered, speaking for a moment before holding it out.<br/><br/>""It's for you, someone named Stan Mertz.""<br/><br/>Elliot cursed and took the phone from Helena.<br/><br/>""Stan, long time no see,"" he said in a cheerful tone.<br/><br/>""Elliot, nice to talk to you as well,"" the BPD sergeant said from the other end of the line. ""How are you?""<br/><br/>""Ummm... busy. Just dealing with work. How did you know to call this number?""<br/><br/>""Your old buddy Sean McKenna. I tried calling your place, but you never picked up. The Deputy told me you had a girl who you might be with so I gave her a ring. Listen, I have one hell of a case that I can't seem to figure out. You mind giving me your expertise?""<br/><br/>""That's what I'm here for, Sarge.""<br/><br/>""So, yeah. I'm working a murder case and I've pretty much got everything I need. I mean I got fingerprints, and eyewitnesses that saw the vic and suspect arguing a half hour before the murder. The victim is a William Henry and the likely perp is his girlfriend, one Jane Wilson.""<br/><br/>""That sounds pretty straightforward, Stan. Don't see how you need my help.""<br/><br/>""Well, here's the thing. I go to order a trace on the phone line of the apartment where the vic was found, and the lady operator tells me that I've already ordered a trace on another phone. Now that is curious because I have no memory of doing that. But it's on their log, clear as day. Just a half hour before I call, someone tracked a number to an old bowling alley using my name and badge number. Isn't that very strange?""<br/><br/>""I gotta be honest, Stan, it puzzles the shit outta me.""<br/><br/>""Alright, Shaw, well we know about your notebook, me and the rest of the Homicide guys. We've always felt like we owed you one because of that bad shake you got, but we tracked down that number you traced and it came to a bowling alley where we found a car with flat tires. It's not yours, so someone must be after you. Bring Jane Wilson in, Shaw, and we'll all talk. I know you got a job to do, but I got mine.""<br/><br/>""I'll think it over, Stan.""<br/><br/>He hung up quickly and turn towards Jane. ""Who did you kill?""<br/><br/>""Nobody,"" Jane said with a shake of her head. ""Nobody, I swear!""<br/><br/>""This boyfriend of yours, was in on the blackmail scam, right?""<br/><br/>""Right. He came up with the blackmail idea once I told him about Kane. He used to flirt with me, you could tell he was just waiting on me to say yes. It was Will's idea that I sleep with him and take photos.""<br/><br/>""The cop I just talked to said a witness heard the two of your arguing shortly before he was murdered.""<br/><br/>""We were at his place. He wanted to give Kane back the files. He said it was getting too heavy. I told him that if we did that now, we'd be dead.""<br/><br/>Jane closed her eyes and took a deep breath. ""I left, went to blow off some steam when I came back he was...""<br/><br/>""Dead,"" Elliot finished for her. ""How'd he die?""<br/><br/>""Shot a few times with a small pistol.""<br/><br/>""How'd you know it was a small pistol?""<br/><br/>She pointed towards Elliot's jacket. ""The gun I gave you, it was the one I found on the floor beside his body.""<br/><br/>""Fuck me,"" Elliot said under his breath. <br/><br/>""You have no idea, Shaw,"" Helena said as she looked up from the documents Jane stole from Kane. ""What this girl stole, no wonder she's in trouble.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Vancouver</span><br/><br/>Arthur Stewart watched Joanna from across the hotel lobby. She was all dolled up tonight in a slinky red gown and high heels that matched her flaming red hair. She sat at the bar and chatted with a middle-aged man next to her. Tonight was the result of a week's worth of watching and waiting by the Friends. He, Alex, Joanna, and Chris all took turns shadowing the man at the bar and getting his routine down pat. <br/><br/>Peter Leigh served as president of the Territorial Legislature. It was mostly a ceremonial position, allowing the longtime politician plenty of time to booze it up. Leigh served as a minor cabinet official in President Rans' administration before defecting to the Pro-US side after General Norman's Eight Army Group invaded NWC territory. That defection was the only reason Leigh hadn't been sent to prison or put out to pasture like the rest of the NWC's government. To Arthur and the Friends, Leigh's defection was tantamount to treason.<br/><br/>He felt his face flush in anger as he saw Joanna's slender fingers caress Leigh's arm and feign both laughter and interest in whatever he was saying. Arthur went back to pretending like he was reading his newspaper. After another half hour, Leigh stood and wrapped a flabby arm around Joanna's shoulder. He whispered something into her ear and laughed loudly before paying the bar tab.<br/><br/>Arthur followed them through the hotel lobby and out onto the sidewalk. Leigh hailed a cab that pulled up quickly. The cab, stolen that night, was driven by Chris. The taxi pulled out into the street and sped off. Another car pulled up with Alex behind the wheel. Arthur got into the passenger seat and held on as Alex hurried to catch up with the cab.<br/><br/>""How drunk is he?"" Alex asked as he handed Arthur a heavy object covered in an oily cloth.<br/><br/>""He's completely shit-faced.""<br/><br/>Arthur pulled off the cloth and gripped the pistol tightly in his right hand. His heart was beginning to pound as Alex gained on the cab and started to draw close. It was parked at a red light when Alex stopped behind it. Arthur jumped out and ran to the car. He peered in and saw Leigh was busy pawing on Joanna's breast with a fat hand. The sight of him doing that sent Arthur off more than any political theory or difference of the opinion the man had. Things like territorial sovereignty and imperialist aggression seemed distant concepts, intangible compared to the fact that this traitor and coward was touching his woman.<br/><br/>""President Leigh,"" he said as he tapped on he glass.<br/><br/>Leigh turned in time to see the gun go off. The bullet shattered the window and drove into Leigh's head. The man slumped forward as Arthur shot him two more times in the head. Joanna was already scrambling to get away from the dying man. The roar of the gun filled Arthur's ears and made it hard for him to hear. He felt detached from his body as Chris and Joanna started to pull him away from the dead man. The next thing he knew, he was in the backseat of Alex's car and feeling Joanna's lips on his cheek.<br/><br/>""Did you leave the note?"" Alex asked from the front seat.<br/><br/>""Sure did,"" Joanna said before turning back to Arthur. ""You did good, baby.""<br/><br/>""I did it... for you,"" he said softly. ""The thought of that animal touching you like that.""<br/><br/>""You killed for me?"" She asked, her eyes shining with tears. ""I love you so much, Arthur.""<br/><br/>""I love you too,"" he said as they kissed. <br/><br/>""And the VX, baby?"" She asked between kisses. ""You'll do that for me too?""<br/><br/>The VX didn't seem like that big of a deal if she wanted it. As long as it made Joanna happy and he got to see that proud look she gave him just a few minutes ago when he told her he killed Leigh for her. For a man like Arthur, someone who never really had a family or friends to speak of, companionship and love was a hundred times more potent than any drug. He got high off their respect and admiration and he'd do anything to keep that feeling.<br/><br/>""Of course,"" he said into her ear. ""Anything you say.""<br/><br/>----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Atlanta </span><br/><br/>Jim Sanderson gazed out at the skyline of Atlanta from his hotel room. Looking at the city always brought him back to his first time seeing the city. He was twenty-one years old when he left Hawkinsville for the first time to serve State Representative Jack Bartley as his chief of staff. The city looked so huge driving up from South Georgia. Hawkinsville had maybe two thousand people total, that was a few city blocks here in Atlanta. The size and scope of it all gave him a sense of vertigo that took days to overcome. He spent his first night here in Atlanta on Bartley's couch, his shabby suit coat his only cover. That was so long ago and he'd come so far. He was now a US Senator... for at least the next few days, anyway.<br/><br/>His big lead had evaporated once the governor jumped into the race. Jim hadn't been serving in the Senate long enough to establish himself as a firm incumbent. All the slack-jawed folks knew Hampton Taliaferro after six years in the governorship, but Jim Sanderson was nothing but some podunk congressman from a tiny town, just a placeholder until a more senatorial man could take over. He had wanted to be a Senator ever since he learned about it in law school, every decision and race was a stepping stone to that old, great chamber. He was there, and now it was all slipping out of his grasp. <br/><br/>Patsy and Jacob, two members of his staff, burst through the door into his bedroom and snapped Jim out of his reverie.<br/><br/>""Vice President Reed is coming up on the elevator to your suite, sir,"" Jacob said in a rush.<br/><br/>""Shit, why didn't you stop him?""<br/><br/>""He's the vice president, sir,"" Patsy replied meekly.<br/><br/>Jim let out a long string of curses. He was in this mess because of Reed cajoling to those civil rights radicals. He knew he had Reed to thank for his career, but the man was always a meddler. He had to control everything. If he couldn't lead then he didn't want to play. It was ten times worse since he became VP. Being second banana galled him so much he had to take it out on everyone else and micromanage every little thing.<br/><br/>""Bring him in here when he gets up here,"" said Jim. ""We'll talk.""<br/><br/>Five minutes later Reed strolled in. Jim did a double take at the man's attire. He wore an immaculate three-piece suit that was pitch black with a dark red tie almost the color of blood. By his side stood a shorter, heavyset man with a bad combover. The short man looked familiar, he'd seen him somewhere.<br/><br/>""Senator Sanderson, have you met my friend? James Sledge. He's a Jim, too.""<br/><br/>""Senator,"" Sledge said with a firm handshake from his plump, sweaty hand. ""It's an honor.""<br/><br/>""I know you,"" Jim said as he showed the two men to a table beside the bed. ""Done a lot of work for the party, right?""<br/><br/>""Here and there,"" Sledge said with a shrug. ""Wherever I'm needed.""<br/><br/>""Is he your fix, Mr. Vice President?"" Jim asked. ""Some kind of peace offering to get you back involved in this race?""<br/><br/>Reed flashed a tight smile and folded his hands together. ""He is the fix, Jim. He can stop this slide and have you win the race by twenty points easy.""<br/><br/>""What do I have to pay for such a gift?""<br/><br/>Reed clicked his tongue. ""Jim, is that how you speak to me? Who was it that plucked you from the State House and brought you to Washington? If not for me, you'd have wasted ten years of your life carrying Jack Bartley's water. <span class=""bb-i"">I</span> brought you along, <span class=""bb-i"">I</span> brought you political contacts in Georgia and the rest of the country, I--""<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">You</span> made me work sixteen hour days, six days a week typing out bullshit replies to constituents,"" Jim snapped. ""<span class=""bb-i"">You</span> made me miss my own children's birthdays so I could go to every goddamn podunk town in this state and stump for <span class=""bb-i"">you</span>. <span class=""bb-i"">You</span> cost me two marriages in pursuit of <span class=""bb-i"">your</span> political goals.<span class=""bb-i""> You, you, you, you!</span> Now that I've become my own man, you can't stand it. You have to control every goddamn thing about this campaign and make me look like your puppet. That's why I'm losing because they think I'm just Russell Reed's houseboy. You destroyed my life--""<br/><br/>""I gave you everything!"" Reed roared, slamming his fist onto the table. ""If not for me, you'd be a fucking ambulance chaser in Hawksville or whatever the hell that little hometown of yours is called. This is down to the wire, son--""<br/><br/>""I am not your fucking son.""<br/><br/>""This is the time to prove how bad you want it,"" Reed went out without missing a beat. He reached out and placed a hand over the top of Jim's. The anger had disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared, replaced now by a sadness or sympathy. ""Think of all you sacrificed, Jim. Working sixteen hour days, six days a week to learn how to handle constituents. Missing your children's birthdays so you could learn about the local level of politics here in Georgia, two marriages ruined in pursuit of that goal of seeing your name on the US Senate rolls. That has to mean something then a few months inside the chamber. A single misstep now and you risk losing everything you've spent twenty years trying to achieve. Jim, son, do you want to win or not?""<br/><br/>Jim swallowed hard and nodded. His voice was thick when he tried to speak and he finally croaked out a reply after swallowing again. ""Yes. More than anything.""<br/><br/>""I need two thousand dollars,"" Sledge said softly, reminding Jim that he was still in the room. ""Some of that is my fee, but the rest is going to be for operational costs.""<br/><br/>Reed squeezed his hand and nodded. ""Jim, the less you know the better.""<br/><br/>""What about your cost?"" Jim asked Reed. ""What do you want?""<br/><br/>The Vice President stood and adjusted his tie. He walked beside the bed and beckoned Jim towards him. <br/><br/>""When you return to the Senate, I want your unquestioned fealty on all Senate matters. You vote how I say you vote, you lobby how I say you lobby. To hell with those old Southern bastards who think they run the Senate. We are going to run the Senate. You and I. And all you have to do, son... is kneel.""<br/><br/>Jim shuddered and fought back the tears as he dropped to his knees and wrapped his arms around Reed's legs. The tears were from desperation and his own self-loathing at a realization. When his second wife Mary left him, she said that she couldn't be his wife with him already married to Senator Reed. He thought then that her remark was just a spiteful taunt, but now he knew the truth. He loved Russell Reed. Despite all years of abuse and from Reed, he had kept up his slavish devotion. Jim loved this cruel man with all his heart, this man he had given his soul to now held his political future firmly in his hands... and he was fine with it.<br/><br/>""I swear, Russ... Whatever you want, it's yours. I swear. Please, please, please just let me win.""<br/><br/>Reed placed a hand on top of Jim's head and smiled as he ran his fingers through his hair.<br/><br/>""That's what I want to hear. Now stand up, son. We've got work to do.""</div>"

Steaming gently from its spout the soft gentle smell of a warm tea drifted up. It streamed upward into the cool crisp air of the sitting room until a hand grabbed it and turned the pot over, pouring from its silver lips a stream of bubbly golden liquid.<br/><br/>“Entertain us, comrade,” began an officer with a pleasant smile, “What was it that the Priest wanted to speak to you about?” he asked as he looked up from his seat to Shen Shao. The look of wanting on his face bespoke the certain desire a puppy might have for a treat, and he entertained this personal want well as he waved the tin cup containing his tea under his nose.<br/><br/>The tea which he spoke of was Dymtrio Radek, the eccentric and unconventional communist leader who had seized control of the Russian Neobolshevik movement, and by extension his share of western Russia. Though the Saint Petersburg based leader had lost the faith of the White Russians, he was at least recognized by China.<br/><br/>Shao considered, walking over to the table for his own cup as he looked at the handful of other commanders in the room with him. Together they made up Shao's general staff.<br/><br/>“He has a request for me.” he answered the question, “Was that what you wanted to Ji Ho?”<br/><br/>Ho laughed. He was a man of modest appearance, and perhaps forgettable if met once. His wild hair was thin and he already wore a faint net of laugh lines and other fine wrinkles in his face, “Well perhaps, that was a very vivid answer.” he smiled, delicately sipping his tea. The still hot liquid stung his lips, but it was the homely tones and familiar comfortable smells in its aroma he sought for the moment.<br/><br/>“Seriously, what did he want?” he asked.<br/><br/>“He wants us to commit piracy on his behalf.” Shao explained, “At first I didn't take him seriously, but I've been entertaining it.”<br/><br/>“Hence us.” a stockier figure acknowledged. Shao Jian was his name. An elephant of a man. Healed bruises splotched and flawed his complexion and it was hard to tell where the uneven roundness of his face was his given face or the healed injuries from fights. He had acquired a reputation among the friendly Russians as an adept wrestler. His heavy boulder arms barely fit in his blue naval great coat as they crossed his barrel chest.<br/><br/>“I have no opinion on the matter.” he added, “As far as I care Radek is Beijing. So his word doesn't have weight.”<br/><br/>“He knows that, he just gave me an open offer to the matter.” explained Shao indifferently. He took a seat on the couch alongside Ho, and leaned up against the arm.<br/><br/>The sitting room wasn't large, though perhaps the biggest room in the building. Chinese command for the Arkhangelsk detachment comprised a far corner of the city's delta port, although the crown and core of the unit slumbered in the frigid gun-metal gray waters of the White Sea, beyond the wild rocky islands that broke the river mouth into network of shallow or usable deep waterways.<br/><br/>At the edge of this allocated port stood an old wooden house Shao had taken over. It was draft, the floors creaked, and when the sun went down for the winter and the arctic winds blew in the windows rattled in their frames. He had not expected to reside for so long in Russia since the end of the Finnish situation. During horrible spells and the depth of winter he was known to winter within the flag-ship of this northern and distant submarine fleet: the indomitable and massive Bohai.<br/><br/>“He is in particular asking me if we can capture any vessel we come into contact with and to bring it to Sankt Petersburg. Or maybe even here. He believes we might be able to use our assets to resupply him so he and his men could awaken the old Imperial fleet.”<br/><br/>Shao Jian scoffed. “Like hell he wishes, I hope he knows that's a tall order.”<br/><br/>“I'm well aware.” Shao sighed, “After we met I asked to have a brief tour of their ships in Saint Petersburg alone. There's a few there, but they've been afloat in one place in ice and thaw for a long time.<br/><br/>“I can't speak for their submarines. They have additional assets in Estonia, but I think they're just as frozen.”<br/><br/>“Besides, how are we going to get the fuel to start them up, let alone fill them?” inquired a third officer. Su Jiang-Shing. A small weasel of a man. Over sized glasses crowned his rigid bent nose as he leaned into the exposed inner logs of the cottage, “To refuel them and change the oil is a task in itself. And where would you suppose we hunt for Spanish fuel tankers? We'll need to know their shipping lanes.”<br/><br/>“The war isn't in Europe's western ocean.” Ho pointed out, “So the hard part is finding them. To stop and capture one is easy.”<br/><br/>“But if we did we would still need to bring it here.” Jiang-Shing responded. He leaned off the wall and came up onto the couch, leaning over the back, “Then someone will be protecting them.”<br/><br/>“Then we mute the ships.” consoled a fourth, “The Spanish can't deploy protection if they don't know they're being targeted in their backyard.”<br/><br/>“Kuo has a point.” Jian said.<br/><br/>“I fucking should!” he laughed. He was a man much like Ho, but a broader face and heavier built. Not muscular, but not considered overweight. His strange Mongolian proportions was reflected in his height, or lack there of to the rest of his body. And his eyes watched the room, with a more dramatic squint than should be expected, “Li, back me up with these clowns.” he gently implored.<br/><br/>“He has a point.” the sixth said, seated next to Kuo on the couch opposite of Shao and Ho the two sat side-by side. Kuo with his impish legs out as Li cradled on atop his knee. Li was soft-spoken, and IB. Although he wore the coat of an intelligence agent he has mostly set aside the great coat and adopted one of the navy. Like many, he had a cold look in his eyes; not cruel, but it had a damning sense of knowing or not just look at a man, but in.<br/><br/>“What would it take to maybe prevent them from sending an SOS?” Shao asked them. He reached out to the table and poured himself a cup of warm tea. “If we went to take a ship, can we drown the message?”<br/><br/>“We'd need their frequency for that.” Kuo said, the blunt directness of the statement a direct knowing reminder to his role, the entire operation's communications specialist, “And we could run through all the channels, but there will never be any confidence if we found the right one.”<br/><br/>“Did we recognize yet this is crazy?” Jian asked the other officers.<br/><br/>“I was under the impression that was besides the topic.” Ho laughed, respectfully dismissing Jian, “Maybe then if we tricked them into calling for help and we found the broadcast?”<br/><br/>Kuo shook his head, “No, I don't think that would work. I haven't known a ship captain to ever cry for assistance for hitting a minor bump. We'd need to attack the ship directly and wait for them. But by then we would have made ourselves known and our enemies would begin patrolling the waters.”<br/><br/>“We'd need to capture the ship first, find their communications, a log book, or any notes and go from there.” Li added on, shifting his legs, “Or even try to pull something from Europe itself and hope there's a universal frequency for coastal Europe. They may be imperialist swine, all of them; but their not uncivilized or completely backwater. China and the International has the same principle.”<br/><br/>“A storm!” Jiang-Shin laughed, “Something harsh enough, we can tail a liner and hope they call for help when they take in water. We can isolate the frequency then.”<br/><br/>“No, too unpredictable. I already know this would be a waste of our fuel.” Shao protested, “How about just destroying their communications all together?”<br/><br/>“It's grandiose.” Kuo remarked.<br/><br/>“Loud too.” Li added.<br/><br/>“I know it is, but I have the airplanes. The only in the unit really. We dispatch aircraft to perform a run on their bridge, put explosives into the tower. Paralyze the entire thing and we board, take control, and tow it in.”<br/><br/>“You can't erase bomb damage.” cautioned Ho, “Some coast guard is going to notice something if they come too close.”<br/><br/>“Then we pull it at night.” Shao offered.<br/><br/>Ho shrugged. “It doesn't matter, if the entire thing is crazy.”<br/><br/>“Right it is.” Jian repeated. “But even if we do this shit, then what happens when it arrives? What would the South Finns do? Norway? Sweden?<br/><br/>“If we fucking pull that to Saint Petersburg, we're going through the territorial waters of several countries. You're going to need to time it right and keep all of this dark.<br/><br/>“And then when it's here: what can we expect Radek to do with all of it?”<br/><br/>“That's his problem, and not ours.” Ho laughed, “He asked, supposedly promised something in return, so if we have to come back to restock on supplies from China we might as well bring something back in.”<br/><br/>Jian sighed, “I still hold my doubts. Give me some damn tea.” he demanded, holding out a hand for one of the tin cups.<br/><br/>Ho passed him back one and Shao delicately bored the still hot drink into the cup.<br/><br/>“I admit I like this entertaining idea.” Li added, cutting the early silence, “In the event of an escalation in Africa, it would be useful to divert Spanish resources from the front. How much effort or purpose they would put into it to simple hunt for submarines I don't know.<br/><br/>“But even if to destabilize the Spanish economy and isolate it, then I have no problems.”<br/><br/>“What are you thinking?” Shao asked. A professional relationship had taught him that Li – when silent – often meant he had something bottled up. It only need coercion.<br/><br/>“That at the least it would be unwise for Arkhangelsk to become forgotten when things turn violent. That we have a unique position to be a flanking force. Not large, but as a distraction. We could goad Spain into opening a second front.<br/><br/>“We could force them to enter the Russian quagmire, we would be sacrificing the stability and safety of the Communes simply to pull Spain into a front it does not need to fight.<br/><br/>“With fighting in two regions, we can pull Spain thin. With our submarines we can drown enough Spanish soldiers that over time they would be loosing battles they never fought. Public opinion sours as blood spills, Sotelo finds himself standing on thin glass.<br/><br/>“Beijing continues to push until that glass shatters, and we crash upon Iberia like a tide and purge this cancerous tumor of nations from existence, and then we take Europe.”<br/><br/>“That's a pretty aggressive and daring move.” noticed Shao, “Would anyone go along with this?”<br/><br/>“It's unlikely, but it's a scenario all the same. If we're going through scenarios it only helps our position by considering all the odds. As we were just doing.<br/><br/>“If it helps us at all, I'll write back to Beijing and ask for a proper analysis on this. We can get some advisory comments on the entire concept and a best course of operation. And who knows: we might even get supplied better.”<br/><br/>“Ping would appreciate that.” Shen Shao remarked, a smile crept across his face.<br/><br/>“We could also always do something about the Finnish navy on top of that.” Jiang-Shing added, “It would be beyond the call and perhaps even what we're justified to do. But if there's anyone closer to us that can figure out what we're doing: it's them. Radek will need absolute control of the Gulf of Finland for absolute security.”<br/><br/>“We'd be starting another war in Finland.” said Jiang.<br/><br/>“I know.” Jiang-Shing admitted, “But there's things that need to be concluded. They might eventually involve themselves someday. And if we're going to involve Spain in something they don't need to fight, as Li suggested: it'd be in provoking the Helsinki no doubt.”<br/><br/>“Would the rest come in after?” asked Kuo, “This could easily spiral out of control. Sven would love the opportunity.”<br/><br/>“Sweden would join, Norway might follow.” said Li, “If it's not handled carefully we'll have all of Scandinavia on the move. It'd be best here to coordinate with Sven and Radek and to find an opportunity where it would be best for us.<br/><br/>“Until then I do support an initiative to blind Helsinki, but we might have to simply use Saaremaa and Hiiumaa as a mid-way point. We can offload civilians there and let the Russians process them as prisoners in Estonia before taking the rest to Saint Petersburg.<br/><br/>“I may be in support of stretching Spain, but not stressing us. Only when we can handle the rest of Scandinavia do we provoke Helsinki.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Beijing</div><br/><br/>The ringing of telephones echoed in a soft song among the hushed chatter of office workers, desk sergeants, and the tapping of a few typewriters. In the central offices, it was business as usual within the headquarters of the National Police. The low wood panel wainscoting trimmed and braced the glass walls that divided the higher-ranking officers of the command center from the general population of the present floor.<br/><br/>Wearing a uniform that was little more than a plain Zhongshan suit with red and orange trim, detective agent Chu Sun. A plain white turtlenecked shirt crawled up from under the folded collar of the simple uniform suit to underneath his wide jaunted chin. Metals flashed in the incadescent lighting of the national offices as he walked between the rows of desks to the far window-side office. Giving passive acknowledging glances to the laboring men and women he continued his march.<br/><br/>Chu Sun wasn't a large man, but his stride was confident. He had a purpose in his head with his summons, his arms swinging at his side like an officer on parade. Shallow-set brown eyes flickered from an intense look of determination to the door ahead and the people he passed. His head and face was a rounded shaved landscape, save for the crown which grew short course hairs in a receding march from his furrowed brow.<br/><br/>Reaching the door, Sun stepped inside.<br/><br/>Separated from the chiming of phones and the soft ringing and tinkering of type-writers, the office he stepped inside had a zenful air. From behind frosted glass it carried a full panoramic view of the room outside, clear into the furthest cubicles at the far end. And backed by large windows it was flooded with warm summer sunlight. Beijing stretched out beyond it, spanning clear to the foothills of the ancient city where the haze overtook all clarity and the world blurred.<br/><br/>A heavy-weight man looked up from his ornate desk. With a disconnected voice he looked back down as he continued to scratch together a note. “Good afternoon, comrade.” he said plainly, continuing his writing, “Take a seat and I'll be with you in a moment.”<br/><br/>“Absolutely, comrade Hui.” bowed Sun, he held his hands at his stomach as he stepped aside, pulling out a chair. Sitting, he patiently waited for the commander of China's national police to look up and acknowledge him.<br/><br/>“Have you heard the news?” Handoi Hui asked, putting down his pen. He looked up to Sun, hands folded together atop the desk.<br/><br/>Handoi Hui was a whale of a man. Already a fat figure, it was exacerbated by his age. Pale skin began to hang loose from his chin and jawline and folds of liver-spotted flesh curled underneath his ears. With his head shaved bald he looked like a military Buddha. And he sounded like a shark.<br/><br/>“The political attacks?” he said, “I have.”<br/><br/>Handoi nodded, “We need to get involved.” he grumbled stiffly, “Orders from Hou himself. How's your caseload been?”<br/><br/>“Admittedly it's been light,” confirmed Sun, “By now I have everything finished, it's been regular work these bad few weeks.”<br/><br/>“Then you got time to travel.” Handoi pointedly noted, “I want you on the ground on this case. I need someone good, and you're as good as any. A previous IB career, you're well suited.”<br/><br/>“Thank you, comrade.” Sun nodded, he folded his arms across his lap. “But wouldn't this be the case of the IB themselves?” he queried. Namely it often would. He worked the case of the Red Guard Gang and usurping Mao from his office. It was by then he had cashed in his service and hung up his coat; he didn't want to play the politics again.<br/><br/>But now against his intentions, he'd be coming back. The idea made him feel sick to his stomach. But he had to hold it, to outwardly express it might attract Handoi's ire; and termination wasn't in his plans either.<br/><br/>Politics here would be the lesser of his evils.<br/><br/>“So what's the course of action?” he asked politely, swallowing that bitter question.<br/><br/>“You and your men are going to report to the chief of the municipal police in Nanjing,” Handoi ordered, “he will help direct you on the investigation. Look over the forensics, bring it here to be examined, help them in casing the matter.<br/><br/>“You have full rights and power in this, and should it jump beyond their jurisdiction you are allowed to follow it; I don't need to remind you about this.<br/><br/>“But this situation his high-profile. So we can't ignore it, understand that.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” Sun acknowledged.<br/><br/>“Great.” smiled Handoi, nodding. His chair creaked heavily as he leaned back from his desk, “You should also set up to interview the victim's – Dong Wu's – family again. Deduce whether they know anyone that might be leads.<br/><br/>“I can give you access to the national directory of known dissidents there. And maybe you can go through old IB networks; but that's strictly a measure off the books.”<br/><br/>Chu Sun nodded slowly, the IB were always off the books. It was a disturbing idea to say the least. And he knew how they worked.<br/><br/>“I don't need to tell you anything more, it's been on the radio and printed by the NPN. The real details will be in Najing when you arrive.”<br/><br/>“I understand.”<br/><br/>“Good, then be on your way.”<br/><br/>Sun eagerly got out of his chair. “I will.” he bowed curtly.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Hong Kong</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Tai Po night market</div><br/><br/>A narrow alley packed between the cold stone walls of brick houses and low high-rises lay filled with nightly vendors, the sound of people, and that of music. Strung overhead, red lanterns swung from wires and clusters of incandescent lighting shone a vibrant golden light onto the alley below, raining onto the night-time shoppers as they wandered through the golden evening glow of mid-night lighting. From food-stalls, the smells of smoldering sea food such as prawns, oysters, and fish. Sweating vendors with oily complexions threw rice and vegetables in large aluminum-cast woks over phantom gas-fire flames from their wheeled food carts as they lorded over their tiny domains with a cook's fury.<br/><br/>Between the food vendors sat huddled among their huts of tarpaulin and trinkets men and women selling the hand-made wares or factory-made options of life in China's southern port city. Nestled between the claustrophobic confines of booths packed with all manners of cloths from pants to shirts to bras and dresses, or the modern output of Chinese design: the ECG radio, telephones and appliances that were once much too big to sell on the street. And sprinkled among the chaos the foreign merchants who lived on Chinese shores sought to sell the image of their homelands, Hispanic merchants from Mexico vied awkwardly with cobble-space with those of Africa or Vietnam; few really knowing well the language but seeking to exchange the universal capital in the Communist empire of the far-east.<br/><br/>Navigating through the sardine schools of neighborhood shoppers Pui Tui and Yan Cong wound their way through the crowd.<br/><br/>In the eyes of Tui excitement blossomed in his wide-eyes as he scoured the booths and displays of China's back-alley exchanges. A purpose shone on his expression, and a light confidence guided his step. Fresh oil smeared his clothes. But it was all forgone by the freedom of race winnings, lovingly returned to his hands through the Hong Kong government and tactically neglectfully marked book work. And the throbbing after burn of victory and racing lust turned in his head like nicotine and filled his mouth with a dry thirst for a prize, a treat.<br/><br/>Cong meanwhile was not flying on the same dragon, or sitting on the same cloud as his friend as he tried to chase his fleeting figure as it wove through the bodies. The maze of the night-markets was not new to him, but it was always hard. Unathletic, the frail boy fought to keep up, but Tui was always just a few steps ahead. “Tui please, can you tone down your excitement just a little!” he called, stuffed between the elbow of a factory worker off of shift and a young mother trying to negotiate tomorrow's breakfast and lunch through the alleys.<br/><br/>“I swear, I will find a way to kill you.” he shouted sourly to Tui as he was caught by the cloth grocery bags. He lethargically struggled for his freedom, if less to actually escape and more to remind the woman where he was.<br/><br/>“It's not my fault you were born a runt! Come on!” Tui teased, stopping in the middle of the aisle to turn to his friend. The foot traffic continued to work around him like he was a stone in the middle of the stream.<br/><br/>“No, I'm serious. Why did I let you talk me into this?” Cong protested loudly as he caught up to his friend.<br/><br/>“Because no exercise will kill you.” Tui badgered, “Should I hold your hand at all?”<br/><br/>Cong shot a sour look up at Tui. He opened his mouth to again resume protesting. But his friend assumed control and grabbed the youth by the arm and pulled him through. Cong floundered like a hooked, confused trout behind his friend as they navigated the stream of humanity.<br/><br/>“Perhaps I'll treat you to something too.” Tui offered gently as he pushed through the street. His gaze danced between the crude Mandarin and Cantonese signs hanging over the booths, looking for the one particular one he wanted.<br/><br/>“What are you even looking for?” Yan Cong blabbered, “I don't think you ever told me that.”<br/><br/>“A watch!” announced Tui, “I always wanted a watch. A good watch too: metal with a leather strap. Not plastic and that cloth shit.”<br/><br/>Cong bumbled and spat. “Where are you going to find that!?” he snickered.<br/><br/>“Oh, I'm sure I can.” Pui Tui said with confidence as he gave pause. With a pleasant gasp, he turned his friend about and pulled him to the side, and into the shallow recessed enclave of relative peace that was a stall of sparkling watches.<br/><br/>Seated at the stall, a dark-skinned man sat cross-legged on a wooden stool. His elder, leather skin hung from a frail and slender build as he looked at the two youths with eyes so drawn shut from his own brow he may have been blind.<br/><br/>“Good evening.” he welcomed the two.<br/><br/>“Good evening.” Yan Cong responded with excitement. Hanging from small wooden hooks – little more than twigs – an assortment of watches hung from the walls and ceiling of his haphazardly constructed hut. Watches that sparkled in a soft golden glow, others silver. Some with harsh rubberized bands, others some sort of cloth that may have been easily cut from rags. Some were dirty a ragged in their faces, others like they were straight from Europe or America.<br/><br/>The old man looked up at Tui. “They're all on sale.” he said, “I may not be here tomorrow night, so get what you want while they're hot.”<br/><br/>Cong looked up at them perplexedly. He had a strong tinge of doubt at their validity. How he could get so many of this type into the country was as much a curiosity as the man was. But his thoughts and doubts were brushed aside quickly as Cong made his choice without hesitation.<br/><br/>“How's that one?” Tui pointed, looking up at a silvery, metal banded watch hanging among a crowd of cheaper looking ones up high.<br/><br/>The old man looked up and nodded. “Yes, that is a good one. Would you like it?” he invited.<br/><br/>“Sure. How much?” asked Tui.<br/><br/>“Three-hundred Renminbi.” the vendor declared. He straightened his back and shoulders as he took a deep breath, preparing to haggle.<br/><br/>“I'll take it.” Tui declared eagerly.<br/><br/>The old man froze, seemingly to calculate what had been said. He blinked, and turned towards his friend. Coughing lightly, he spoke: “As you wish.” he bowed, sitting up on his steel as he reached up to grab the watch with one skeletal hand. Gingerly, he pulled it down off its hook and passed it to Cong.<br/><br/>Tui took to it like an eager imp, and pulled from his pocket the wad of red bills he kept there. Shakily counting out the desired amount, he paid the man.<br/><br/>Tui watched as the transaction took place, noting the smudged numbers on the inside of the man's arm. He thought to ask, but the payment was complete and the old man was offering them a wonderful, fruitful night. And at the drop of a hat, Cong was withdrawn from the stall and back into the river.<br/><br/>“Tui! Look! I got one!” Tui giddily boasted as he pulled his friend off to the far-side of the alley. Standing against the cold rough stone of the back of some building he flashed the watch up for Tui to see. Its silver metallic face gleamed a fiery gold in the overhead lights. And despite Cong's cynicism towards it, he had to admit it looked attractive.<br/><br/>“It's -uh... Nice...” Cong complimented weakly. He looked up at his friend, and his face struck with the lost confusion to the situation he asked: “But, why a watch?”<br/><br/>“Well, you see: at the races I was approached by a man who congratulated me for my victory. He complimented my victory and told me about luck.” the young man said with a wide boyish grin, “He said that he always keeps a little charm on him. Some carry old Imperial coins, he said. He: he had a watch.”<br/><br/>Cong looked perplexed. Tui picked up on the clear visible lack of understanding in his friend's eyes. “You see: this is my lucky charm. This is what I earned on my winnings!” he cheered.<br/><br/>“You know, you're going to get chomped in the ass for this.” Cong pointedly observed, “Are you sure you're being careful?”<br/><br/>“I am, Cong! I am!” Tui laughed, “I've been doing things right, I'm getting the money in a way that the city won't notice. I'll be set for life!<br/><br/>“Maybe someday I can go live in a house like a party officers. I can move out of my parent's place. Go live in an apartment like Mei's! No: bigger than her's. And no one will know.”<br/><br/>“Tui, there are limits.” cautioned Cong, “Are you sure you're not taking it too far?”<br/><br/>“Bullshit, with this watch: I'll be unstoppable lucky!” he laughed excitedly, wrapping it on over his arms. With a satisfied tug he locked it on over his wrist and smiled, “There, I shall be unbeatably lucky! Do you want something to eat?” he asked<br/><br/>Yan Cong sighed, he wasn't going to win the argument. His friend was too invested in it, and all he could do was hope he would be lucky. “Fine.” he said resigned, “I could do with some dumplings.”<br/><br/>Tui nodded excitedly. “There you go.” he cheered excitedly, “Now let's go eat, I'm hungry.” he smiled, walking back out to the flow of foot traffic.<br/><br/>Unhindered by his excitement and the eagerness, Tui moved at a much slower pace, one where his friend could comfortably keep up. The two knocked through the crowds on their way to the soft glow and promise of sitting food down the market.<br/><br/>They didn't get far, until they stopped at the sound of panicked screamed.<br/><br/>Freezing with the rest of the traffic, they turned to look down a narrow side-alley. People began to part hurriedly, pulling themselves aside as if a plague victim was peeling down the street. Stumbling from some dark shadows to the side, a girl stumbled; arms held up in front of her face as she stumbled and staggered through the rain-whetted gutters. With a sudden umph, her boots tripped on a loose brick and she took a stumble, her arms coming to a crash landing on the pavement, stone, and brick underneath. Her pink sweater packing with grime as she coiled up into a protective ball, quivering.<br/><br/>“THE ANIMALS, THEY'RE AFTER ME! TH-THEY'RE IN THE WALLS!” she wailed helplessly as she coiled up, visibly shivering.<br/><br/>“M-mei?” Cong whispered, baffled. Gingerly he kneeled down, hovering a hand over her shoulder.<br/><br/>“NO, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH HORSES FOR THE NIGHT! FUCK OFF!” she screamed, her voice was course. Tears streamed down her face as she peeked out from behind her arms. Her eyes wide, pupils dilated she lay her sights on Tui and immediately her blood rushed from her face.<br/><br/>She spun to curl on her face, trying more desperately to hide herself from the outside world. “Nononononnonono, this isn't happening.” Mei sobbed tearfully, voice wavering with terror, “Why...”</div>"

He’d been working at the magazine for the best part of three decades. He could remember his first day as if it were yesterday. He’d worn an ill-fitting linen suit that his mother had picked out for him from the charity shop and been so nervous he’d sweated through it on the way there. Jonathan Aitkens, <span class=""bb-i"">Jerusalem</span>’s then Political Editor, had teased him mercilessly about it for weeks. Needless to say he’d used his first pay cheque on a new suit. He’d hated Aitkens back then but looking back on the whole ordeal he couldn’t help but laugh. Despite all the teasing Aitkens had made him a better journalist. Three decades ago he’d been a sweaty, chubby freelancer looking to make a dent in the world of journalism and today he was the Political Editor of <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>. It had been some journey.<br/><br/>As had the journey Lambert had been on this afternoon. Fred had been summoned, along with a half dozen other Political Editors, to a meeting at Downing Street by the Prime Minister’s attack dog Samuel Hobbs. His official role was “Director of Communications” but Lambert had never seen Hobbs do anything other than shout at people. Hobbs was from Newcastle and was one of the few in the Prime Minister’s inner circle that hadn't gone to Cambridge. He started out writing obits in a small-time paper in Newcastle and now he was one of the most powerful men in the government. When he slung insults at you across a Downing Street table they stuck. As many had done this afternoon. Lambert knew better than to interject during the meeting and instead listened in silence as Hobbs briefed the Editors on the government’s legislative agenda for the upcoming twelve months.<br/><br/>It was unspectacular enough to begin with. Amongst the headliners were legislation aimed to crack down on the alleged rise in illegal trade union activity and cutbacks to social programs deemed non-vital. It was the final policy that had almost knocked Alfred off his feet. He almost pinched himself to check he was awake when Hobbs said it. The shocked faces of the other Political Editors around the room mirrored his own. The second Hobbs was done speaking Lambert had tucked the folder Hobbs had supplied each of them with under his arm and broke into a jog out of the meeting room. It was that very same folder that Lambert slapped onto the desk of his Political Correspondent as he entered the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> newsroom.<br/><br/>Sebastian “Seb” Hadland was Alfred’s protégé. Hadland was the son of a family friend. Usually Lambert disapproved of nepotism but at the time the boy had been out of work for near to two years and at the point of depression. He’d never worked a news desk before and had no journalistic experience but under Lambert’s wing he’d turned into the finest writer on the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem's</span> payroll. The skinny Political Correspondent reached for the folder and skimmed through it as Lambert watched on. Hadland seemed disinterested at first until his eyes fell on the policy on the final page. <br/><br/>He set the folder down on his desk with a bemused look. “You’re kidding, right? ‘The Voluntary Repatriation Bill’?”<br/><br/>“I wish I was.”<br/><br/>“Forced deportations? That’s what it’s come to?”<br/><br/>Lambert sighed. “Hobbs says the Prime Minister will be pushing the legislation through Parliament next week.”<br/><br/>“They’re British citizens,” Seb muttered as he crossed his arms. “This is wrong. We need to go public on this one.”<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Going public</span>. Alfred and Seb discussed it from time to time. It was the nuclear option. Ever since the Troubles had ended all news outlets had to clear the contents of its publications with the government. It hadn’t <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> been like this. After the Troubles the government of the day had introduced the legislation as an emergency measures to combat the mountain of misinformation distracting it from rebuilding Britain. Decades later and the emergency measures were still in place. It made breaking stories near impossible and criticizing the government a risky proposition at the best of times. Going public would mean going to print without state authorization. It was also likely result in the complete closure of <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>.<br/><br/>Lambert shook his head. “You know we can’t do that.”<br/><br/>“Then what the bloody hell are we for?” Seb said with an exasperated sigh. “We can’t keep <span class=""bb-i"">pretending</span> to be journalists forever, Fred.”<br/><br/>It stung. Once upon a time <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> had prided itself on its independence. Those days were long gone. The anarchists that had torn their country apart in the wake of the Great War had ensured that. For as great as men like Jonathan Aitkens were, even they had to bend the knee and hand over their work to the government ahead of time. It was a bitter pill to swallow for Alfred, no doubt a bitter pill to swallow for Aitkens too, but there was more than pride at stake here. Lambert had a duty of care for all of the members of staff and unilaterally deciding to run a scathing piece about the Voluntary Repatriation Bill would have repercussions for all of them.<br/><br/>“We don’t have a choice. We print what they want us to print or GCHQ turn up and take everything,” Lambert said through gritted teeth. “<span class=""bb-i"">Including us</span> if they’re feeling particularly vengeful. You know that.”<br/><br/>Seb nodded despondently and Alfred walked across the small, cramped office to hang up his coat. The office building that contained the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem's</span> office was almost a hundred and fifty years old. The whole building felt like it shook every time someone walked across the office. Finally Lambert took to his seat at the desk next to Seb’s and found his protégé giving him a pensive look.<br/><br/>“How old were you during The Troubles?”<br/><br/>“Young,” Lambert said with a shrug. “Too young to remember them, if that’s what you’re asking.”<br/><br/>“All I ever hear is how bad things were then. On days like these it’s hard to imagine how things could be much worse than they are now.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>A thin, pale figure slinked through the hallways of Downing Street. His footsteps made no sound and he drew no more attention to himself than was unavoidable, except for the occasional polite nod to the cleaning staff still hard at work. It was four in the morning and the Prime Minister wasn’t due to arrive in Downing Street for two hours. Samuel Hobbs had been awake for two hours. He was slender, barely filling out the inexpensive grey suit wrapped around his pale flesh, and his face was beset with deep wrinkles. His hair was more grey than black and his teeth had been yellowed by cigarettes in his youth. Yet Hobbs retained an unconventional attractiveness to him that even his most ardent admirers would struggle to explain. He brushed some lint from his shoulder as he reached the door to his office and reached for the doorknob.<br/><br/>A smile crept across his thin lips as he opened it very slowly and peered inside. There sat on the chair at his desk was Dominic Hewitt. Hewitt was his second-in-command and had agreed to take the night shift whilst they tried to smooth the land for this repatriation thing. He was a tall, gangly man with a smug face and his hair was immaculately parted at all times. Even at this early hour having worked through the night Hewitt was still inexplicably well turned out. Hobbs opened the door a crack and slide through it with care as he approached Hewitt from behind. He made certain to mask his footsteps as he approached and ran one of his pale hands through Dominic’s hair with a mocking laugh. <br/><br/>Hewitt pulled his hair away with a nervous chuckle. “Jesus fucking Christ, Hobbs, how do you do that?”<br/><br/>Hobbs ignored him completely and pointed down to the newspapers spread across his desk. “What are the papers saying?”<br/><br/>A self-satisfied smile appeared across Hewitt’s face as he fired back. “They say what we tell them to say.”<br/><br/>Hobbs glared at Hewitt and the Press Officer laughed nervously and reached for the newspapers in front of him and brandished them in Sam's direction.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">The Times</span> called it a “necessary step to curb growing Afro-Caribbean extremism in the capital” and the <span class=""bb-i"">Mail</span> went with the guest-worker angle like we suggested. Only the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span> really dragged its feet.”<br/><br/>Hewitt handed Hobbs a copy of the morning’s <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span> and the Prime Minister’s Director of Communications scanned the front page with his beady, probing eyes. A pained expression appeared on his face and he threw the copy back down on the desk and gestured to Hewitt to get out of his seat. Hobbs set his briefcase down beside his seat and then sat down and pulled a pen from the inside pocket of his suit. He scribbled down the name of the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span>’s Political Editor with a menacing smile.<br/><br/>“Trust me, Charlie Whitebread is going to have a damascene-fucking-conversion to the merits of voluntary repatriation overnight unless he wants the <span class=""bb-i"">Mail</span> to find out about his little gambling problem.”<br/><br/>“Stop it,” Hewitt said with an over-zealous laugh. “You know it turns me on when you talk dirty.”<br/><br/>As the words left his mouth Hewitt spotted a young Downing Street staffer in the doorway to the office. In her hands was a tray with Sam's morning coffee and a selection of biscuits. Hewitt could tell from the look on her face that she’d heard the tail end of his sentence and he turned blushed red.<br/><br/>“We were just going over the papers.”<br/><br/>The young staffer smiled and set the tray down in front of Hobbs. “Of course.”<br/><br/>Hobbs nodded by way of thanks and Dominic stood up from his chair to shut the door behind her as she left the two men alone. His cheeks were still rosy with embarrassment as he sat back down. Hobbs reached for a custard cream on the tray in front of him and took a bite out of it as he scanned over the newspapers one last time.<br/><br/>“From the looks of it this should be enough to get the PM to stop breathing down my neck for a couple of days. He’s <span class=""bb-i"">really</span> worried about this one. He seems to think that with South Africa dragging out longer than anticipated there might be trouble over this repatriation thing. Some blowback from the Afro-Caribbeans in the inner-cities seeing as it’s all happening at once.”<br/><br/>Hewitt leant back in his charge and smiled sardonically. “I don’t blame him. Have you ever been to Brixton on a Saturday night?”<br/><br/>“Oh, relax, you poof,” Hobbs said as he crunched on a custard cream. “They’d eat those Brixton boys for breakfast up in Newcastle. There’s nothing to be worried about. It’ll be fine.”<br/><br/>Hewitt leant back in his chair and noticed his ruffled hair in one of the reflective surfaces in the office. Hobbs rolled his eyes and he noticed the younger man go to painful lengths to fix his hairstyle. He was about to jab Dominic about it when the young man started speaking.<br/><br/>“The Ethiopians are not going to like it. They might kick up a bit of a stink but I think privately there’ll be some that will be pleased by the move. It plays into their hands, after all, so I don’t expect too much trouble on that front.”<br/><br/>Hobbs nodded appreciatively and reached for the coffee on the tray in front of him. “So what you’re saying is that the PM has <span class=""bb-i"">nothing</span> to worry about on this? Is that what you’re saying to me, Dominic?”<br/><br/>“I’m not sure if I’d say nothing but the nearest thing to it.”<br/><br/>“Well, the Prime Minister will be very glad to hear that when he arrives this morning,” Hobbs said as he took a mouthful of coffee. “Now fuck off and go fiddle with your hair somewhere I don’t have to see you.”<br/><br/>Dominic laughed nervously at the dig. Hobbs stared at him impassively over the brim of his coffee. Hewitt’s nervous laughter fell silent and he looked at the Director of Communications as if attempting to deduce whether he was being serious or not. After several seconds of silence Hobbs looked towards the door instructively and Dominic made his way towards the exit. <br/><br/>Once it had closed him Hobbs shook his head and muttered to himself under his breath. “Oxbridge wanker.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>At a small, square table crammed into the corner of a cramped, messy kitchen are Errol Clarke and his adoptive son Keenan Gayle. In Keenan’s hands was a copy of this morning’s <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span>. Errol could see the young man struggling to read the headline on the front page and urged him to try to sound it out. The boy had always been slow, even when he was at school, and now that he was out it seemed like he’d gotten even worse. Errol tried to encourage the boy to read where he could. It was important to keep your wits about you. It was even more important for Keenan now that his daughter was around. Up until six months ago Keenan had seen his daughters at weekends. Then her mother fell into a <span class=""bb-i"">very</span> strange crowd and decided she wanted to move to Ethiopia. It had all came entirely out of the blue and Keenan, who at that point had been unemployed despite being twenty-five, had been forced to get his life in order since. Learning to read properly was part of that.  <br/><br/>Errol could see Keenan losing his patience as he tried to sound the word out. “Rep… repatr… repatri-“<br/><br/>“Repatriate,” Errol said as he tapped the word on the front page with his index finger. “The word you’re looking for is repatriate.”<br/><br/>Keenan scratched his chest through his green string vest and then smiled blankly in Errol’s direction. “What does it mean?”<br/><br/>Clarke had seen the signs. He’d been about Keenan’s age when he’d come to Britain after they had invited workers from the colonies to help rebuild the nation. He remembered at the time that the “guest worker” program was a <span class=""bb-i"">temporary</span> initiative and that workers would be expected to return to their native countries once the program was finished. Problem being that the problem never finished. The guest workers had children, <span class=""bb-i"">British</span> children, and built lives for themselves here in Britain. His daughter Honor had been born in Tooting, attended school in Roehampton, and had never so much as ventured north of the Thames until she was eighteen, let alone Jamaica. Yet in one foul swoop the government had declared that Errol, Honor, Keenan, and even little Simone as having outstayed their welcome.<br/><br/>Errol spoke as plainly as he could. “It means they’re going to send us back.”<br/><br/>“Send us back where?”<br/><br/>Errol shrugged his shoulders and then stared out at the morning’s sky with a sigh. “Jamaica I suspect, though if they won’t have us I’m sure they’ll try to palm us off on the Africans.”<br/><br/>“I don’t understand,"" Keenan said with a frown. ""I was born here.”<br/><br/>Errol’s thick lips twisted into a smile. “You think that makes you one of them?”<br/><br/>A confused look appeared on Keenan’s face. The boy was strong and had a good heart but it was clear from his expression that even speaking plainly Errol had managed to confuse him. It was a wonder the boy managed to tie his shoes correctly in the morning, let alone look after a child, but as always Errol endeavoured to explain it to Keenan in a way he’d understand. The old man leant on his cane and tried to formulate his approach when memories of his father flashed across his mind. He had been like Keenan in a lot of ways; both were strong, openhearted, and quick to trust. It hadn’t done Errol’s father any good but there was still time for Keenan to learn.<br/><br/>“My father travelled across the Atlantic to fight in their war for them. I guess he thought there’d be some glory to be had or that the white man might accept him if he fought. You know what they had him doing for three years? Digging trenches. He nearly lost a foot out there and was half-deaf by the time he arrived in Britain. And guess what? They still didn’t want a thing to do with him. He lasted nine months here in Britain before he decided to move back to Jamaica.”<br/><br/>Errol cleared his throat a little to mask the fact he was choking up. Opposite him Keenan’s eyes were locked on him. It was the first time Errol had spoken to <span class=""bb-i"">anyone</span> about his father since leaving Jamaica. He’d never even told his own daughter about any of this. Honor was long gone. They hadn’t spoken in years and rumour had it she’d left London years ago. Chances are that even if she was here she wouldn’t want to hear it. Perhaps one day Keenan might pass on Errol’s account of his last conversation with his father to Honor. Perhaps she could learn from the folly of it as Errol intended for Keenan to.<br/><br/>""After the British started the guest worker program I told him I was going to move to London to find work. Even after the way they treated him he <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> couldn’t bring himself to speak a bad word about the place. Can you believe that? Listen, Keenan, you need to understand that they’ll never accept you as you are. All you can do is keep your head down, work hard, and try to save what you can for you and yours. I have a feeling the coming months are going to be bad.”<br/><br/>Errol’s old eyes caught movement in his periphery and he turned to see Keenan’s nine-year old daughter Simone stood in the doorway of the kitchen. She was wearing pink and purple pyjamas bearing small pictures of puppies and kittens over them. <br/><br/>She rubbed her tiny eyes as she looked up at the man she knew as Uncle Errol. “What’s going to be bad?”<br/><br/>Keenan placed the newspaper down on the table and walked over to his daughter with a smile. He bent down, picked her up, and carried her over towards the window by the sink. Errol smiled as he watched Keenan playfully pretend to dunk Simone into the sink and then sat her atop one of the cleaner portions of the counter beside it.<br/><br/>“Why don’t we get you ready for school?”<br/><br/>Simone frowned. “I don’t want toast this morning.”<br/><br/>“You don’t have to have toast. You can have something else,” Keenan said as he made his way over towards the fridge and scanned its contents. “As long as “something else” doesn’t include milk because <span class=""bb-i"">someone</span> used the last of it in their tea this morning.”<br/><br/>Errol stared down at the cup of tea in front of him with a guilty smile. It was his third cup of tea this morning and it wasn’t even seven. The elderly Jamaican man didn’t have many vices but milky, sugary tea was one of them. He made a mental note to pick up some more milk next time he was out of the house and then watched on as Keenan flicked through the cupboards for something.<br/><br/>Simone pointed up at one of the boxes in the cupboard. “Can I have porridge?”<br/><br/>“Sure,” Keenan said as he pulled the box down. “You can have as much porridge as you want.”<br/><br/>Errol smiled at the scene as Keenan began to make a bowl of porridge for Simone. He made it ten seconds in before Simone decided she wanted to be involved in the process. The transformation Keenan made when his daughter was around was extraordinary to watch. Errol was almost certain Simone read at a higher level than Keenan. Yet there, his daughter in his arms, it didn’t make the slightest bit of difference. For a second Errol wondered whether he’d been wrong to worry and then his eyes met with the headline on the front page of the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span>.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">“PM PLOTS TO REPATRIATE MIGRANTS.”</span><br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham</span><br/><br/>Chelmsley Wood High School was one of the worst performing schools in all of Birmingham. It was the kind of school that had to offer a salary several thousand pounds above market rate just to get teachers to walk through its doors. The Troubles had hit Birmingham hard and even with the money the government had poured into the city it was still having a hard time finding its way back onto its feet. It hadn’t taken long for the knife crime that was rife on the city’s council estates to bled into its schools. That was why it was such a shock when Conrad Murray had applied there. Murray had graduated from University College London with a first class degree in Politics and followed that with a Masters at LSE. He was exactly the kind of teacher that Chelmsley Wood High School needed, though nothing like the teachers they usually employed.<br/><br/>He stood outside the school gates with a cigarette in his hand and a newspaper beneath his armpit. Conrad had a well-kept reddish-brown beard that was longer than the neatly parted brown hair atop his head. He wore a brown tweed suit with dark leather elbow patches and a pair of well-worn light brown brogues. Beneath his beard was a boyishly good looking face. He’d grown the beard on the advice of one of his colleagues to disguise his youth. To the students youth meant weakness. At Chelmsley Wood High School you couldn’t afford to show weakness.<br/><br/>It was Neil Durham that had taught him that. Neil taught business studies. He’d been at the school for decades and had long since stopped caring. He had dirty blonde hair with flecks of grey in it and his round stomach folded over the waistband of his beige trousers. Conrad reached into the inside pocket of his suit and pulled out a cigarette and passed it to his colleague. Durham nodded silently and patted his trousers down in search of a lighter before remembering he’d placed it in the pocket of his short-sleeved yellow shirt. He lit up and watched as Murray read the front of the newspaper with a pained expression. Once Conrad had finished he met Neil’s gaze and patted the front page with the side of his hand.<br/><br/>“What does this mean for the kids?”<br/><br/>“We’re not sure at the moment,” Durham said as he took a long drag of his cigarette. “The head’s talking about maybe suggesting to some of the parents that they ought to take them out of school ahead of time. You know, to ease the transition.”<br/><br/>The headteacher of Chelmsley Wood was fifteen years younger than Durham and spoke like a man that had never taught in an actual classroom before. It was because he hadn’t. Ten years ago Durham might have kicked up a stink at the prospect of taking the kids out of school, five years ago he might even have had a quiet word with him, but this was all happening too late. There was no fight left in him.<br/><br/>Murray sighed. “They’re children, for Christ’s sake, they need to go to school.”<br/><br/>“The head takes the view that the coloured children might… <span class=""bb-i"">act out</span> if they know they’re going to be leaving and won’t have to face any punishment for their actions. He’s just trying to protect the staff.”<br/><br/>Conrad shook his head in disbelief at the words leaving Durham’s mouth. “I’m going to take it up with him.”<br/><br/>“I wouldn’t do that if I were you. I’d watch that kind of talk too. There are a lot of very anxious teachers around here. You’re new at this teaching malarkey, Conrad, and you’re new to this school. Trust me when I say that he won’t take kindly to being lectured by someone that’s been on the job for five minutes. Especially not someone with a...”<br/><br/>“You can say it,” Conrad said with a smile. “A coloured girlfriend.”<br/><br/>It had taken a few weeks for the news to make its way around the school. Murray was shacked up with Honor Clarke. Clarke was the closest thing to famous as one could be in a place like Chelmsley Wood. She was an academic, one of only a few hundred university-educated coloured in the country, and she had made news in Birmingham by calling on the government to provide “reparations” for the slave trade. Durham had read about it at the time and hadn’t thought much of the woman. He bore no ill feelings towards coloureds, he’d spent long enough teaching them in school to know they were no different than whites, but talk of reparations was several steps too far for him. He was shocked when he’d found out the young <span class=""bb-i"">white</span> History teacher that had just joined the staff was her boyfriend. So were a fair few of the parents.<br/><br/>“I know this isn’t perfect but it’s a damn sight better than how things were before,” Durham said as he scratched the back of his neck. “You feel for those kids. I understand that, especially given your own… <span class=""bb-i"">circumstances</span>, but the work has to come first. The work always comes first. You’d do good to remember that.”<br/><br/>Durham watched Conrad go through a range of emotions as he lifted his hand to his mouth to take a drag of his cigarette. As he did so his muddy green eyes met with the face of the cheap watch he was wearing and widened in shock.<br/><br/>Conrad threw his cigarette to the ground. “Shit, I’m meant to be meeting a friend for a drink in fifteen minutes. I’ll see you tomorrow.”<br/><br/>One of Murray’s light brown brogue crushed the butt of his cigarette into the ground and he shoved the newspaper into his shoulder bag. Durham watched as the young teacher paced off in the other direction. He envied the passion the young teacher had for their profession and the naiveté that came with not having been at life <span class=""bb-i"">or</span> teaching long enough to know better. He’d been like Murray once, though without the beard and the coloured girlfriend, and stood there beneath the dreary Birmingham sky he couldn’t help but wonder what young Neil Durham would have made of the man he’d become.<br/><br/>Long after his colleague had disappeared from sight Durham mumbled to himself with a sigh. “See you tomorrow, Conrad.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>John Coltrane’s <span class=""bb-i"">Naima</span> echoed through the halls of Joyce and Fraser Campbell’s Downing Street residence. Not a night went by in the Campbell residence that Coltrane, Davis, Monk, or Coleman wasn’t played, especially now that the children had been sent away to boarding school. It was a promise the Campbells had made to themselves. Even on the most tumultuous nights they would still make time for them. Jazz music had been part of what brought the pair together whilst studying at Oxford and on some nights it was what kept them together. When Fraser had met Joyce Campbell he had thought her an unattainable beauty, at least for someone like him, and was so taken with her that he would stare at during lectures. Joyce had thought the boy simple, he was so nervous he could barely string a sentence together, but she soon learned there was a steely determination beneath it. <br/><br/>Fraser had wanted to be a musician. At the time he had been prodigiously talented with a saxophone and spent more time practicing than he did studying. Joyce had tried to explain then that he could do anything armed with a Philosophy, Politics, and Economics degree from Oxford but music had been Fraser’s passion. Yet <span class=""bb-i"">somehow</span> today Fraser Campbell sat in Downing Street as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He couldn’t quite recall how he had fallen into politics but through no design of his own he found himself the second most powerful man in Britain. Joyce had been the political one whilst at Oxford and to this day she remained cleverer than him. In truth, it ought to have been her that stood in front of that dispatch box every week. Sometimes Fraser suspected she would have been better at it than he was.<br/><br/>Joyce had been his rock. Through good times and bad his wife had stood by him and challenged him to become more than he was. She was tall, thin, with blonde hair and legs that went to her chest. Sometimes Fraser kidded that her eyes were so piercing they could see into a man’s soul. Joyce had towered over him at Oxford and did so even more now she was expected to wear high heels at all times. In contrast, Fraser was a stout, unattractive man who had lost most of his hair quite early and wore thick-lensed glasses that made him look like an accountant. He was certainly not the type of man one would expect a woman like Joyce Campbell to marry. Neither was he what <span class=""bb-i"">anyone</span> would have described as “Prime Ministerial” yet he was her husband and the Prime Minister all the same. <br/><br/>It was on night’s like these though that the responsibility of leading an entire nation weighed heavily on his mind. The Prime Minister was sat in his shirtsleeves in a spotless kitchen. On the large white table in front of him were reams of documents and folders. Beside the documents was a large glass of red wine and an empty bottle on the kitchen counter signified it had been a <span class=""bb-i"">very</span> long day for Fraser Campbell.<br/><br/>“This is a fucking shambles.”<br/><br/>The sound of high heels clicking their way towards Fraser caught his attention and he spotted his wife in the doorway to the kitchen. She smiled at him and the Prime Minister felt his heart flutter in his chest like it was the first time. He smiled back at her and stretched out a waiting hand in her direction. Joyce floated towards him slowly and took her husband’s hand, rubbing her thumb against his, whilst resting her head against his shoulder and placing a soft kiss against his cheek.<br/><br/>Fraser could feel her gentle breath against his neck when she spoke. “What’s the matter, dear?”<br/><br/>“It’s this repatriation thing,” Fraser said as he gestured to the draft legislation in front of him. “This isn’t why I went into politics. In fact if I remember correctly, this is <span class=""bb-i"">exactly</span> the kind of thing I went into politics to oppose.”<br/><br/>“I thought the papers looked good this morning?”<br/><br/>“Of course the papers looked good,” Fraser sighed. “They always look good. They don’t have any choice but to look good.”<br/><br/>“Well, they certainly didn’t have to be as effusive as they were,” Joyce said as she reached down to one of the documents on the table and scanned over it. “That was by choice.”<br/><br/>It was clear from the look on Fraser’s face he was unconvinced. The invasion of South Africa had slowed considerably after the early successes the British had in Cape Town. Fraser was beginning to worry that it had been a mistake agreeing to it. Britain couldn’t afford a long, protracted struggle on a front so far away from its supply lines. If it turned into that, he’d have to give serious thought about withdrawing from South Africa altogether and that could make his position very uncertain. Especially given King William's public support for the conflict. Campbell's Home Secretary Thomas Moore was already on manoeuvres and seeing as the Palace hadn’t shut him down it meant they weren’t <span class=""bb-i"">completely</span> anathema to the idea of Moore in Downing Street.<br/><br/>Fraser’s chubby face flushed red with frustration as he mulled over his predicament. “Why doesn’t that inbred bastard at the Palace abdicate and run for office if he wants to run the country so badly?”<br/><br/>Joyce smiled and reached for the glass of wine on the table in front of them. “That’s no way to talk about our King.”<br/><br/>“Bollocks to our King,” Campbell muttered. “I’m the Prime Minister and I’m meant to be the one in charge here, not him. Yet here I am shipping millions of coloureds back because he intimated in passing that he would “appreciate it” if the guest worker program came to an end.”<br/><br/>Joyce took a hearty mouthful of wine. Fraser felt his wife tense as she swallowed and the wine made its way down her throat. “Why don’t you do something about it then?”<br/><br/>“There’s nothing I can do.”<br/><br/>“He’s young and childless,” Joyce said as she kissed Fraser’s neck and ran her hand down his throat towards his trousers. He could smell the wine on her breath. It was intoxicating. She was intoxicating. “Rumour has it that pretty wife of his is having trouble conceiving. If <span class=""bb-i"">something</span> were to happen to our King…”<br/><br/>Fraser grabbed her hand at the wrist and pried it away from his groin. “Never speak those words out loud again.”<br/><br/>“What’s wrong?” Joyce smiled. “Too much wine?”<br/><br/>The Prime Minister shook his head and stood up from his seat. He walked across the kitchen patiently to the stereo in the corner of the room and turned the volume up until <span class=""bb-i"">Naima</span> was obnoxiously loud. He walked back to his seat and pulled Joyce close to him. Fraser's hands were clamped around her wrists so tight he could feel her pulse. There was fear in his wife’s eyes.<br/><br/>“They’re listening,” Fraser mumbled. “They’re <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> listening.”<br/><br/>Joyce’s face became equal parts shocked and relieved. Fraser pulled her body into his and his gut pressed against her toned stomach. He slid one of his hands up the side of his wife’s dress and his face, once a picture of crippling indecisiveness, dripped with an easy confidence that Fraser Campbell rarely displayed in public.<br/><br/>“Trust me when I say that I have not forgotten who I am and what I promised you. I will do whatever it takes when the time is right. God knows we’ve worked too hard to get where we are to fall at the last hurdle.”<br/><br/>It was true that jazz music had been part of what brought Joyce and Fraser Campbell together but it had been the lesser of two parts. The other part Joyce and Fraser rarely spoke about, even amongst themselves, in fact they had gone to painful lengths to hide any proof of its existence. Joyce and Fraser Campbell were committed republicans. Once Fraser had consolidated enough power they intended to put their values into practise.<br/><br/>By <span class=""bb-i"">any</span> means necessary.<br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>In the middle of the small patch of grass at the centre of Angell Town council estate was the smouldering husk of a vehicle. The smoke from it billowed up into the night’s sky and filled the lungs of PCs James Oldfield and Ray Newman as they watched on. Ray covered his mouth with his forearm to stop himself from inhaling any more smoke. James knelt beside the vehicle with his hands on his knees and inspected it for any signs of evidence. Both men were stationed out of Brixton police station but that was where the similarities ended. Oldfield was six foot three and as skinny as a rake. His features were soft, shapeless, and unassuming. He had the kind of face that was easily forgotten. “Big Ray” was a heavy-set man, built like a fridge, somehow fat but flat-stomached at the same time. His face was not so easily forgotten. In the middle of it laid a thick red rose that dominated his other features.<br/><br/>Newman peered over his nose at Oldfield as he watched the young officer inspect the burnt out vehicle. “I’m telling you, these people are fucking animals.”<br/><br/>James look round at him and frowned. “We don’t know it was them.”<br/><br/>“Oh, pull the other one…” Ray said with a derisive laugh. “A burned out car in the middle of a council estate in Brixton and you’re trying to play Atticus-<span class=""bb-i"">bloody</span>-Finch. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work this one out, James.”<br/><br/>James Oldfield might not have been a rocket scientist but he was the sharpest tool in the box at Brixton police station. He'd arrived armed with a wealth of knowledge about criminal psychology and a had thirst for problem solving unlike anybody in the borough. It wouldn’t be long before Oldfield was CID. As much as a killjoy as James was at times there was no other police officer in London that Newman would want to catch the case if one of his loved ones went down. He took to policing as naturally as Big Ray took to boozing, darts, and forgetting his children's birthdays.<br/><br/>“I’m just saying,” James said as he stood up and started to scribble in his notepad. “Due process and all.”<br/><br/>Ray shook his head. “You’re too soft on them. You think they give a fuck about due process? You think your due process will save you when one of their kind is bearing down on you with a machete?”<br/><br/>Oldfield looked up from his notepad and shrugged. “Nobody said the job was meant to be easy, Ray.”<br/><br/>The sound of a motorbike entering Angell Town estate caught Newman’s attention and he looked round as it made its approach. It pulled up beside the two police officers and Newman made a slow reach towards his baton suspiciously as the motorbike stopped beside them. Oldfield eyed the man and woman on the motorbike curiously as he slipped his notepad into his back pocket. They were black, the man was a wall of muscle and the woman slight and short, but other than that Oldfield couldn’t make much out. He looked towards Newman cautiously and Big Ray placed his hand on his baton.<br/><br/>“What the fuck are you looking at?” Newman said to the man and woman who were staring at the officers silently. “Jog on.”<br/><br/>The woman reached into the back of his trousers and pulled out a weapon. Newman seized up upon seeing it and his eyes had slammed shut. There were two loud bangs in quick succession that he recognised as gunshots. It wasn't until he heard the sound of the motorbike's engine scurrying off into the distance that his eyes opened again and a flash of relief crossed his face upon realising his was unharmed. <br/><br/>It was replaced by dread as he noticed Oldfield sprawled out on the floor with two bullets lodged in his gut. “<span class=""bb-i"">James</span>?”<br/><br/>Oldfield moved to speak but a mouthful of blood came pouring out in place of words. Newman felt his blood run cold and his hands began to shake as he desperately tried to stem the bleeding. There was blood everywhere. He raised one of his hands to his radio and the blood on his fingers made them slip across the radio’s buttons. <br/><br/>“They’ve shot James,"" Ray screamed into his radio as a decade of policing experience went out the window. ""They’ve fucking shot Oldfield.”</div>"

He'd been there for nearly an hour now, quietly watching and waiting for his contact to show up. He'd called the lieutenant governor's office from a nearby payphone and talked quickly to whomever answered. The rest of the capital's workers and politicians headed home soon after five, but Jim saw the light of the eighth-floor office stay on well after everyone was gone for the day.<br/><br/>The plan he and Reed worked out was dependent on this part. If tonight's meeting didn't work out, they'd be forced to take another approach. The senate race was down to the wire and if any changes were needed they would have to be made fast. How this meeting went could decide the outcome. Sledge adjusted his thick glasses and squinted when he saw the car pull in from the street.<br/><br/>A long, black car cruised through the garage before idling a few feet from where he stood. Jim got into the back of the car and found the man he was looking for waiting for him already. Lieutenant Governor Ashley McCall stared at Jim over his reading glasses. McCall had curly black hair with flecks of white in it and a long, skinny frame that led to many jokes around Atlanta about him being a scarecrow, all full of straw and no brains.<br/><br/>""Well you got my receptionist all riled up,"" McCall said as he pulled his reading glasses off. ""But your choice of language got my attention. I debated if I should come or not.""<br/><br/>""As I imagine you would. You're a good man, but when someone promises you the governor's chair you come running.""<br/><br/>""Speaking of that.""<br/><br/>""Ash, I am a man of vision. The vision I'm seeing is Ashley McCall as Georgia governor in 1980, being reelected in 1982 and 1986. Six years of governor until... Senator McCall? You never know, they say Preston Marbury has a bum ticker. Or maybe something higher? Cabinet post? Maybe even higher. That's what I'm seeing Ash, but how it turns out depends on how this conversation goes.""<br/><br/>McCall chuckled. ""Hamp wins this Senate election, I become governor by default. He resigns and I'm in the big chair. Two years worth of experience as governor heading in '82 means I win the Democratic primary in a landslide and the general election? Son, this is Georgia. There's Democrats or nothing at all.""<br/><br/>""Solid thinking, Ash,"" Sledge nodded. ""But Taliaferro winning that Senate race and you taking over makes you look weak. Everyone in the state knows what he's doing, Ash. He's gonna go to Washington and set you up here in Atlanta as his puppet.""<br/><br/>McCall started to protest, but Jim cut him off.<br/><br/>""Doesn't matter if it's true or not, all that matters is what people think and what they say. You've been dependent on Hampton all your political life. For god's sakes, he's your father-in-law. You know what they say about you behind your back, Ash, about how you married into, how you're dumb and just Hamp Taliaferro's little lackey. Hamp himself jokes about you, says getting you elected as lieutenant governor was only because he loves his daughter so much. The end result of all of this will be you taking over the governorship no later than this time next week. Hamp has been a political force in this state for decades, but he's gotten too complacent. He's had his time. You're young and you are the future of this state. Your future is very bright if you play along. You want to be your own man, don't you Ash?""<br/><br/>McCall struggled to find a response. He fiddled with the hinges of his glasses and mumbled to himself. <br/><br/>""But... I got my wife and kids to think about. He's my father-in-law.""<br/><br/>""Nobody will know,"" Jim assured. ""What I'm going to ask of you is minor and just between us. If you help me out, I have promises from people that your subsequent gubernatorial campaigns will be successful.""<br/><br/>""Who is promising?""<br/><br/>Jim held his hands out, palms facing outward.<br/><br/>""Ash, I'm not going to say... but put two and two together.""<br/><br/>McCall sighed and looked down at his shoes. Jim saw him working his wedding ring up and down his finger in an unconscious tick that was as effective as any words McCall might have spoken. After what felt like five minutes, McCall looked up at Jim.<br/><br/>""God help me, what do you need from me?""<br/><br/>Jim gave him a sympathetic smile. He found that an understanding smile made traitorous behavior go down better. ""I need the governor's itinerary for the next two days, as well as the names of the state troopers that are part of his security detail.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Sun City, Arizona </span><br/><br/>Bart Marston placed the back of his head against cool concrete wall and closed his eyes. The dimly lit, concrete corridor was in the basement of the Lucky Gent Casino, as far away from prying eyes as possible. Even with the door closed and the concrete wall between them, he could hear the squeals from the man inside. Nobody worked over card cheats quite like Chuck Waters. Bart clocked in at five foot ten and Chuck towered over him by at least a full six inches. Big and mean with a buzzcut so close his blonde hair looked almost white. Everybody on the strip knew Chuck and knew not to fuck with him. <br/><br/>The metal door swung open and Chuck walked out with a pair of bloody rubber gloves on his hand and sweat beading down his forehead. His suit coat was off and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up past the elbow, revealing a USMC tattoo on his forearm. He flashed Bart a smile and shot him a wink.<br/><br/>""Come on in, Bart. I think he's ready for your talk.""<br/><br/>Bart lit up a cigarette and followed Chuck inside. There were just two features in the small concrete room. One was a small table that had the contents of someone's pockets -- wallet, keys, change-- resting atop them. The other feature was a large wooden chair like the kind they used for the electric chair. It was bolted to the floor and had thick leather straps to bind whoever sat there in place. Strapped in was a bloody pulp of a man who Bart saw a half hour ago, being shoved into the room by Chuck and two members of the Lucky Gent's staff. <br/><br/>Chuck pulled off his rubber gloves and let them fall to the cement floor while Bart smoked and rifled through the contents on the table. He picked up the beaten man's wallet and pulled his driver's license out to read. ""Luverne, Minnesota,"" he said, blowing smoke from his mouth as he spoke. ""Spent some time up there during the war, cold as hell.""<br/><br/>Bart turned and stared at the beaten man with a soft smile. He made sure he held the driver's license up so the man could see it through the dim lighting and his swollen eyes.<br/><br/>""I'm going to keep this, Mr. Davis. So I know who you are and where you live. Sorry for me partner's roughness. You see, Mr. Davis, the Lucky Gent Casino does not take kindly to card cheats and neither does he.""<br/><br/>""I didn't cheat,"" Davis spat, spitting out blood and saliva as he babbled. He slurred as he spoke. Bart figured that was because he was missing so many teeth. ""I-I-I- use a mathematical system. It's not--""<br/><br/>""It's cheating,"" Bart said in a dull tone, saying what he had said to countless cheaters before. ""Not legally, but it's cheating. You're a card counter, and Sun City does not like card counters. Card counters have to be smart guys, right? A smart guy like you doesn't need his fingers and toes to count and that's good. It's good because you're going to be missing at least a whole hand's worth of fingers if you ever step foot in this casino, or any Sun City casino again.""<br/><br/>Bart pulled back his suit coat, revealing the revolver on his hip and the badge beside it. The badge was a gold star with the words Sun County Sheriff engraved on the top and sergeant at the bottom. Chuck walked to his suit jacket on the floor and picked up his own badge, showing Davis that he too was a sheriff's deputy. Bart tossed the license back on the table and stepped forward to make eye contact with the man.<br/><br/>""Go back to Minnesota, Mr. Davis. I'm sure Luverne is a nice town and I can assure you that Sun City is not. It's a cruel town that has no place for you. You're too smart, and Sun City hates smart men. You've got twenty-four hours to leave town. Remember that I know your name. I call around the hotels in the city and discover you haven't checked out at the end of those twenty-four hours, my partner and I are going to hunt you down and bury you alive out in the desert. Understood?""<br/><br/>""I'll leave,"" Davis sobbed. ""Just don't hurt me, don't hurt my family.""<br/><br/>Bart patted the weeping man on the shoulder and turned to leave with Chuck behind him. Two of the Lucky Gent's goons were already waiting outside the room with smirks on their faces. He couldn't remember their names, Tony or something like that. The mob guys always had the same damn names and goofy ass nicknames.<br/><br/>""Always the talker, Marston,"" one of them said. <br/><br/>""Just like daddy,"" the other chortled. ""Always talking, talking, talking. What's wrong? Afraid of getting your hands dirty?"" <br/><br/>Chuck stepped out into the hallway, sliding his suit jacket on over his massive arms and shoulders. Bart resisted the urge to throw a fist at the two smartass goons and instead pointed back to Chuck. ""When I got a guy like that, why would I need to get my hands dirty? I'm the brains and he is the brawn.""<br/><br/>He left Chuck behind to deal with tweedle dee and tweedle dum and made his way up to the casino floor. The Lucky Gent's motif was all Wild West. Croupiers dressed in black and white suits with waistcoats, sleeve garters, and bowlers, the cigarette girls dressed like cowgirls. The strip club in the back of the casino featured dancers wearing gold star pasties on their breasts and nothing much below it besides a gunbelt.  <br/><br/>Bart ignored the sights and sounds of the casino and headed for the door. Nigh on midnight and the Sun City Strip was in full swing. Tourist gawked at the bright lights and big casinos while the suckers moved from joint to joint to try and hit it big. Bart got into the unmarked car he and Chuck used and got behind the wheel to await his partner's return. He hated this city. It was all bullshit with gold dust sprinkled on top. He hated it because it took people's money and left them nothing. He hated it because his father loved it so much, and he hated it because this goddamn city was his birthright.<br/><br/>The Marstons were one of the first families to settle in Sun City in the late 1800's. Bart's great-grandfather ran a general store, his grandfather owned a saloon and was the city's third mayor, and now his father was a United States Senator. Rod Marston wanted the same life for Bart, but he told him to go to hell and took a job with the SCSD. Even as a cop he felt his old man's presence. Bart made sergeant two years after joining the force and would have made lieutenant before he left to fight in the war. He came back and got offered a job as squad supervisor in homicide. He instead requested his current detail, working in the three-man Intelligence Unit. It was a shit job with meathead Chuck Waters as his partner and a lush like Captain Randall as supervisor.<br/><br/>Bart requested the post because he knew if he stayed in a regular bureau like homicide or narcotics he would rise against his will. The old man would assert pressure to see him make rank. He wasn't happy when Bart joined, but he said that if he wanted to he could be sheriff by the time he was forty. Bart didn't want that. He wasn't really sure what he wanted, but he knew what he didn't want and what he didn't want was exactly what his dad was offering. So he stayed in Intelligence and worked a dead end job with no chance of promotion just because he knew his father couldn't stand it.<br/><br/>Chuck got into the car and pulled out a small roll of bills. He counted off a few hundred dollar bills and tried to pass them to Bart. He shook his head and pushed the money back.<br/><br/>""C'mon, sarge. I feel bad about always keeping the money Frenchie gives us.""<br/><br/>""Don't worry about it, Chuck. You got your girl and kids to think about. Besides, I'm a Marston, I'm not strapped for cash.""<br/><br/>""Ever wonder why they bring us in to work over the card cheats?"" Chuck asked as Bart passed him a cigarette. ""They got their own guys who can lay out a beating, so why pay us three or four scoots when they can get an in-house guy to do a tune-up for free?""<br/><br/>""It's the badges,"" Bart said, blowing smoke out the window. ""Frenchie likes letting cheats know that it's more than his guys who protect the casinos. He also does it because he's playing the long game. He'll keep us around for small stuff until we're needed for something real big. We're an investment, Chuckie. That's all.""<br/><br/>Chuck slipped the money back into his pocket while Bart checked his watch. ""Twenty after midnight. We still got three hours to kill before our shift ends. Suggestions, Deputy Waters?""<br/><br/>Before Chuck could answer, a roar filled the air. Two motorcycles tore down the Sun Strip at breakneck speed. The two shaggy looking men were blurs of motion, but Bart made out the logo on backs of their cutoff leather jackets. In the center was smiling, sinister-looking Mongolian on a motorcycle with a large sword raised. The patch across the top of the jacket read Horde, the patch across the bottom read California. <br/><br/>""Those assholes,"" Chuck hissed. ""I thought they were warned to keep on their side of the border.""<br/><br/>""Chalk it up to hearing loss, Chuck,"" Bart said as he started the car. ""Those loud bikes mean they can't hear so good. Let's see what they're up to.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Washington D.C.</span><br/><br/>""It is now in order to consider Appropriations Bill 2601. For what purpose does the gentleman from California seek recognition?""<br/><br/>Congressman Harlan Lewis cleared his throat and spoke into his lectern's microphone.""Mr. Speaker, I ask the House to pass Appropriations Bill 2601 as reported favorably out of the House Appropriations Committee.""<br/><br/>The Speaker Pro Tempore granted and asked the clerk situated below him on the triple dais to read the bill's title in full.<br/><br/>""Appropriations Bill 2601, a bill to appropriate monies for the purpose of foreign aid relief for the Pan-Africa Empire as it fights against the Spanish Republic.""<br/><br/>From the press gallery above the House floor, Traci Lord watched the action with amusement. There was a debate planned, but it was going to be a short one. The days of inspiring rhetoric in this chamber or the Senate was long gone. A hundred and fifty years ago men like Daniel Webster, Clay, and Calhoun could sway hearts and minds with their stirring words and turn the fate of a bill from a doubtful passage to an easy victory. That was then. Now, while a handful of congressmen and senators stood on the floor and spoke, the real deals were going on in the cloakrooms and offices far away from the debate. <br/><br/>Today marked Traci's fifth day on Capitol Hill covering the foreign aid bill. Her first story had been published two days earlier to some interest among Congress and the reporters that covered the body. The first part of the series covered the background on the bill, background on Harlan Lewis, and the process of the bill moving through committee. <br/><br/>""Mr. Speaker,"" Lewis started back. ""I propose this bill to Congress because now is the time to stand upon the world's stage as the beacon for freedom against oppression. Since 1776, this nation's principals...""<br/><br/>Traci tuned Lewis out and went back to her notebook. She'd read his full statements later in the congressional transcript and find if anything was quote worthy. Lewis was an odd case, as she discovered in her interview with him earlier that week. Congressmen from districts as safe as Lewis' often did very little besides get their districts pork barrel projects. The voters in his district didn't want pork barrel, didn't want much of anything besides keeping taxes low. It seemed to her that he was doing this simply because he could. <br/><br/>""Now what are you smiling at?""<br/><br/>Traci looked up from her notepad and saw an old, familiar face.<br/><br/>""Senator Dixon,"" she said with a grin. ""Slumming it in the House are we?""<br/><br/>Senator Bill Dixon did a mock bow and sat down beside Traci, unbuttoning his suit coat as he sat.<br/><br/>""I like checking up on the House from time to time. Helps me keep the Senate in perspective, reminds me that I could have it a lot worse. What are you doing here, my dear? I thought you got out of the congressional reporting game?""<br/><br/>""They sent me back to cover Lewis' bill,"" Traci said in mock offense. ""You mean to tell me you haven't read my first article on it?""<br/><br/>""You work for the <span class=""bb-i"">Post</span>?"" He asked with a smirk. ""That paper is part of my morning routine, nothing gets my ass clean quite like the <span class=""bb-i"">Washington Post.</span>""<br/><br/>Trac couldn't help but smile. ""On the record, what do you make of the bill?""<br/><br/>""I applaud Congressman Lewis for his bold step. For far too long, Congress has been willing to let the Executive Branch dictate the course of foreign policy. With this bill, perhaps the scales can be balanced.""<br/><br/>""Uh-huh,"" she said as she wrote down his remarks. ""And off the record?""<br/><br/>""Jackass,"" he replied quickly. ""Did not consult anyone else on this and just moved forward, forcing Republicans into a tight spot, especially now that it looks like the White House is trying to hijack it and take credit for getting it through Congress.""<br/><br/>""What's the Senate's strategy?"" She asked. ""On the record, I mean.""<br/><br/>""The Senate will have to wait and see how the House votes before it can consider anything,"" Dixon said in his measured voice again. ""If it passes, the margin of victory our colleagues in the House passed it by will be taken into consideration as Majority Leader Kelly puts it on the legislative calendar.""<br/><br/>""Off the record?""<br/><br/>Dixon made a raspberry and did a thumbs down.<br/><br/>""The worst thing President Norman could have done was let it be known he was in favor of the bill. Those old goats from the Deep South are licking their chops, waiting to sink their teeth into the bill. Since Vice President Reed met with those activist in Tennesse, the Southern Caucus is going to lock that bill up tighter than a tick's ass and make sure it doesn't see the light of day until they get assurances from Norman that there will be no civil rights bill proposed by the White House.""<br/><br/>Traci looked down at the floor of the House. A Democrat from Rhode Island was arguing against the bill purely for fiscal reasons, arguing that the money would be better spent at home than in Africa.<br/><br/>""This is the calm before the storm, Ms. Lord,"" Dixon said as he stood, buttoning his coat back. ""Enjoy the civility of the House. When we get to the Senate, it's going to be a goddamn bloodbath.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chicago </span><br/><br/>Johnny Legarrio always felt like he was in a different world when he went to Bobby C's mansion. The palatial estate was far removed from Bobby's humble Southside origins. The story of Robert Colosimo's rise to the top was the stuff of mob legend. A homeless urchin brought in from the cold by Al Capone himself. He was Capone's top button man during the beer wars and the bloody aftermath. He was supposed to have killed a rival Irish bootlegger when he was just fourteen. Capone ended up going to the clink and dying after syphilis rotted his brain out. Bobby C. served the Outfit and rose through the ranks until he took control of it in the late fifties. He was an Outfit lifer then with thirty years of service and still only in his mid-forties.<br/><br/>Johnny stood in the foyer of the mansion with Mick Mahoney and Prussian Joe. Mick played with the loose threads on his suit while Prussian Joe folded his hands over his stomach and patiently waited. Bobby C. knew they were coming, Johnny gave him a call right after he heard Prussian Joe's pitch three days ago. Bobby said he was making a trip out of town and would be back tonight, to come by the house at around seven. It was now seven thirty.<br/><br/>""Gentlemen,"" Bobby's bodyguard Momo said as he came into the foyer. Momo wore a sweater and sports jacket, but Johnny could clearly make out the piece in the shoulder holster. ""Mr. Colosimo will see you now. I'm going to have to frisk all three of you before we proceed.""<br/><br/>Momo made a quick show of shaking down Mahoney and Prussian Joe before Johnny willingly handed over his Colt 1911 and let Momo make sure that was all he carried. When he was satisfied, Momo led the small party through the house. Mahoney's big eyes looked at everything enviously. Prussian Joe meanwhile kept up his bored look. Johnny wasn't sure what to make of the short little German. He was always cool and detached, almost to the point of being a front. Regardless Johnny knew he liked the guy, more so than Mahoney with his sycophantic behavior.<br/><br/>""Johnny!""<br/><br/>Bobby C. waited for them out on the deck facing his back yard. The old man wore a pair of swimming trunks and nothing else. He was somewhere in his early seventies and had the body of a man half his age. It was all lean and wiry. The only signs of age were the white chest hair and a long heart surgery scar that ran from the bottom of his neck down to the top of his stomach. That wasn't the only scar on his body. A long, crescent moon shape started near his left breast and went down towards his ribs. It was supposed to have been from a stabbing back in the thirties. His snowy white hair was gelled and parted immaculately. <br/><br/>""You look so skinny, kid. You need to eat something!""<br/><br/>""Me? What about you. You're like a husk.""<br/><br/>Bobby put his arms around Johnny's shoulders and hugged him. Beneath the beaming grin, Johnny felt an overwhelming urge to snap the old man's neck. Bobby was all smiles today, a far cry from that day when he promised Johnny he would blow his brains out if he didn't come to work for him.<br/><br/>""It's this goddamn diet my doc put me on,"" Bobby bemoaned. ""No salt, no pork, no cigars, nothing good. I survived everything the fucking Micks can throw at me, but in the end it's my heart that tries to clip me. Come on, follow me.""<br/><br/>Johnny and the others followed behind Bobby as he padded through the big house. He led them into his study and motioned towards plush leather couches and chairs while he sat down at the desk and eyed Johnny's friends.<br/><br/>""Bobby, this is Mick Mahoney and Prussian Joe.""<br/><br/>""Sound like a comedy duo,"" Bobby snickered. <br/><br/>The others laughed, Johnny and Prussian Joe politely while Mahoney seemed to laugh a little too hard. Bobby stared at him a beat before turning back to Johnny.<br/><br/>""So you said these two clowns have some score they wanna talk about? Well let's talk.""<br/><br/>""The First National Bank, Mr. Colosimo,"" Prussian Joe said without preamble. ""I have a plan to rob it, a robbery that could gross as much as ten million dollars.""<br/><br/>Bobby C. let out a low whistle and laced his hands together.<br/><br/>""Big talk my friend, but just talk. Who are you that I should believe or trust you? Johnny vouches for you, but I don't know you.""<br/><br/>""I have done some freelance work with some of your cohorts around the country. Perhaps reach out to the Como Family in Kansas City and ask them if they know me. I am almost certain they will deliver you a glowing appraisal of my abilities and professionalism.""<br/><br/>Bobby stared at him for a long time before leaning back in his chair and sighing.<br/><br/>""You were saying about a plan?""<br/><br/>""Ja, I was recently imprisoned at Joliet after another score of mine was cut short thanks to an informant. Before I went away, I was scouting out the First National Bank as a potential score after the one I was on. Shortly after being released, I went back to the bank and cased it. Nothing has changed and it is ripe for the picking.""<br/><br/>""What makes them so-- Johnny, give me a smoke would ya?""<br/><br/>Johnny pulled out a cigarette and lighter, passing them to Bobby. He lit up and inhaled the smoke deeply.<br/><br/>""I know I shouldn't,"" he said as he blew smoke out. ""But it's so damn good. Now, what makes that bank so ripe of a target?""<br/><br/>""The alarm system,"" Prussian Joe said as he pulled out his own cigarettes. They were of some middle eastern blend that smelled foul and made Johnny crinkle his nose at the scent. ""They still have a Rinco 9800. As any good bank robber, I keep up with the latest in the security trade. The 9800 was recalled six years ago because its circuit breaker and wiring is inherently flawed. A few simple wire pulls can short circuit the system and disable its overt and silent alarms. With a three man crew, I can go in there and short circuit the alarm and spend as much time as I need clean out the whole safe.""<br/><br/>Jonny watched Bobby thinking it over. It was the same plan Prussian Joe relayed to him a few nights ago at the Cheetah Room. Johnny knew the plan was risky, but robbing a bank always run some sort of risk. Bobby was more conservative than Johnny simply due to age, but a guy doesn't get to the top of the Outfit by playing it safe.<br/><br/>""I want to reach out to my guys in Kansas City,"" Bobby said, pointing a finger at Prussian Joe. ""And I want proof that they got this shitty alarm system that you say they do, and I want to read about how shitty the alarm is. You do that, you have my blessing to form a crew and hit the bank. I'll be taking twenty percent in tribute, the rest to be divided up among your crew.""<br/><br/>Johnny felt a sense of relief pass through the other men. He also let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in.<br/><br/>""Good,"" said Prussian Joe, wiping his forehead with a pudgy hand. ""As for crew, I'd like Johnny with me. Mahoney is a safecracker and I may need him. I will teach him how to short circuit the alarm so it's ready to be put out of commission before we walk into the bank. We will require a driver. A four-man crew all together should suffice.""<br/><br/>""I want a fifth,"" Bobby replied. ""A backup in case this thing goes sideways. I got a guy with the CPD who has been looking for work.""<br/><br/>""You sure it's a good idea to get a cop involved?"" Johnny asked.<br/><br/>""He ain't a cop, Johnny Boy, he's a wiseguy with a badge. He'll lay out the groundwork and keep the heat off of you if it comes to that. I want him on the job and that is non-negotiable. If you want this thing to go down, then he has to be on the job.""<br/><br/>Johnny traded looks with Prussian Joe. The little man pressed his lips tight together and made no attempt to hide his annoyance. Johnny shrugged slightly, silently asking what could they do.<br/><br/>""You're the boss,"" Prussian Joe said with his own shrug. ""Whatever you say goes.""<br/><br/>""That's right. Don't forget it.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Macon, Georgia</span><br/><br/>Macon City Police officer Fred Baker walked down the halls of the rundown motel towards 219. The hotel's night clerk walked beside him with a skeleton key in his hand. The clerk was the one to call in the noise complaint after several calls to the room weren't answered by the occupants inside.<br/><br/>""Goddamn music,"" the clerk snarled. ""You can hear it even all the way down here!""<br/><br/>Baker heard the music alright. A loud screeching noise of horns playing together in some random cacophony. That Jazz crap, Baker thought. Jazz was the music of the coloreds and hopheads. Who else in their right mind would like shit like that with no rhythm.<br/><br/>""Open up,"" Baker shouted as he stood in front of the door. He banged on it with his nightstick hard, so hard it could be heard over the music. ""Police department. Open up or I'm coming in!""<br/><br/>He motioned for the clerk to open the door with the skeleton key. Baker stepped back and put a hand on the butt of his holstered revolver as the door unlocked and swung open. He stepped through the door and was taken back at the sight.<br/><br/>The small hotel room was a mess, overturned furniture and broken mirrors and ripped pillows and sheets. A pile of brown powder he recognized as heroin sat on a dresser beside remnants of snorted lines. A record player beside the dresser belted out the horrible music. The pièce de résistance was on the bed. A chubby, middle-aged white man was passed out on the bed with two skinny and obviously underage black girls curled up beside him and as oblivious as he was. The bedcovers were pulled back, revealing their naked bodies. <br/><br/>""Someone had themselves a time,"" the night clerk said with a laugh. ""Can you arrest them, officer?""<br/><br/>""I plan to.""<br/><br/>Ten minutes later, Baker led all three out the hotel lobby in their underwear. They were linked together by shared handcuffs on their wrists. All three of the arrested people were drowsy and disoriented from the sudden awakening, but the white man was acting even more confused. His salt and pepper hair was all over the place and his eyes were bloodshot. Still, as shabby as he looked, Baker felt a distant recognition. Like he'd seen him before. Knowing johns and whores, Baker probably already arrested him once before.<br/><br/>""What's going on?"" The man asked.<br/><br/>""You're under arrest,"" Baker replied as they stepped out into the humid Georgia summer night. ""Possession and use of narcotics, engaging in immoral practices with minors, and violation of the state's interracial fraternization law.""<br/><br/>Baker walked them through the parking lot towards his waiting squad car. A photographer popped up from behind it and snapped off a photo. The bright light blinded Baker for a moment. He tried to shield himself, as did the other three, but they were too slow to avoid the camera.<br/><br/>""Get that goddamn camera out of here,"" he yelled at the fleeing photographer.<br/><br/>""You can't do this,"" the dazed man said weakly. ""Do you know who I am? I'm the governor.""<br/><br/>""Sure you are,"" Baker said as he pushed the man and two girls into the backseat of the car. ""And I'm the president. Y'all stay calm, we're heading to the station house to book you.""<br/><br/>Baker paused as he watched a car quickly speed out the motel parking lot. He made the outline of the photographer from a distance. The guy was leaving in an awful big hurry for some reason. Baker shut the back of the squad car and bent down. He looked at the man in the back of the squad car from the side. Slowly, it dawned on him that he did look familiar... and exactly how he knew him. He'd seen his face in the newspaper and on the television, speaking about Georgia and what he planned to do to make it a better place.<br/><br/>""Governor Taliaferro,"" he said under his breath. ""Shit.""</div>"

While Hassan and his small corp of officers were still dashing across the Danakil, Hassan's mind had been on military matters. He thought of tactics then; how to use his airforce, and what ways the Spanish advance could be delayed before it reached the cities and villages of highland Ethiopia. <br/><br/>But now he was entering Harar to visit a friend from a different time of his life, and even though Hassan still had business to attend to, his thoughts drifted back into the past, and to his early career. He remembered a stormy night at the mountain-top monastery of Debre Damo and the raid he had been a part of. They had scaled a sheer cliff with simple equipment to surprise the last few aristocratic leaders of a failed rebellion who were hiding with sympathetic monks in their amba retreat. A specific image hung at the forefront of the Ras's imagination. It was of his commander, a long-dead homeguard captain by the name of Iskander, standing among the rain-drenched corpses of a dozen priests and rebels. Ancient stone walls watched silently by, scratched by bullets and charred by bombs, as the battle-worn captain lectured a captive, held at gun point, with passages from the bible.<br/><br/>""The lord has said to me 'Do not fret because of evil doers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity, for they shall soon be cut down like grass, and wither as the green herb.'""<br/><br/>That was the strongest memory of that day. The rest was an obscured vision of fear and blood. <br/><br/>In the present, Hassan sat in the front passenger's side of an armored staff car as it wove along the dirt roads of the outer city. Hassan was turned around in his seat, talking strategy with a couple of the officers of his retinue. They had a map splayed between them, balanced on an old board that they found on the ground in Dire Dawa.<br/><br/>""The explosion of the train station in Dire Dawa would be spectacular."" said one man, Colonel Ashenafi of the 7th Sefari. <br/><br/>""But impractical."" Pointed out the other, who's name Hassan had forgotten, though he recalled that he was from the 4th Sefari and an Aide to General Idrissa.<br/><br/>""Why would we save a station that we will not be using?"" Ashenafi answered. ""Sow the fields with salt! Leave the ferengi an empire of ash! We want every step they take to be painful for them.""<br/><br/>""We need to save the explosives."" the other officer argued. ""We can't afford to waste them.""<br/><br/>Hassan waved his hand. ""Have the men take the station apart by hand then. I agree with the Colonel, let those European pigfuckers suffer."" The city became denser as they went on, and they began to travel slower.<br/><br/>The outer city of Harar was a collection of relatively new buildings, though that did not make them modern. There were mud huts and plaster huts next to each other, some thatched and some roofed flat. With the Spanish advance coming fast toward the highlands, this place was overran by the Ethiopian military. There were vehicles parked in every empty lot. Supply officers were setting up the infrastructure that would help move men and supplies back and forth from the front. Beyond the town was the rolling hills of Hararghe, colored in a rich contrast of savanna greenery and red earth. <br/><br/>""Will the Shiftas raid our enemies in the night?"" Ashenafi asked hopefully. By Shiftas, he meant the Ethiopian militias as well as the Afar. Both were free agents, and did not have to take orders from Hassan.<br/><br/>""I have asked a few of their leaders."" Hassan replied. ""They want blood, my friends. Just as much as we do.""<br/><br/>The vehicle came to a stop near the city gate. Hassan leaped out, and his Palestinians came all around him to form a guard. The two officers, with no business in the walled city, went to find a way to communicate to their respective Generals.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Harar Jugol</span> was the local name for the walled city. It made up half of Harar, and it's entirety was surrounded by an aging brown stone wall. Outside of the city walls, Ethiopia stumbled awkwardly into the modern world, but inside, Harar Jugol made no such effort. These walls, raised to turn back the medieval Oromo tribes that once raided from the south, now pressed its inhabitants together in a tight space and kept them from modernizing their city. It had once been a fortress, but the modern world had turned it into a time capsule. <br/><br/>Hassan chose to pass through the gate on foot. It had been widened to allow for car traffic, if only down the center road. Still, Harar Jugol was old and not built with traffic in mind. Pedestrians ruled inside the walls, trickling from claustrophobic alleys into the wider market streets, and forcing cars to crawl along at a pace slower than that of the people on foot.<br/><br/>The gate looked more like a facade than a true gate. It had two pedestrian posterns on either side of the main entrance, and useless battlements lined the top with rounded crenels in an Islamic style. Once inside, the economy of space within the walled city became quickly apparent. Buildings and roads were constructed via a plan of tactical chaos. Every small structure seemed to hungrily swallow as much extra space as they could get away with, making an architecture defined by overhangs and zigzagging corridors. The street itself was filled with vendors selling goods from small stalls, and from the backs of trucks. Most of the people were the coffee-skinned Somali, who's garb shared similarities with the Ethiopians so that it was difficult to tell them apart. It was the women who stood out here. They wore brightly-colored dresses and head-scarves, many patterned with golden cloth. <br/><br/>Hassan's Palestinian guards closed in even tighter around him as the press grew thicker. It was not for want of safety that they huddled, but rather the inevitable fate of anybody in such a crowd. Hassan drank in the smell of the spices, and made a mental note of the things that were being sold in market. Most merchants sold the basics; food and clothes, more often than not. Others sold rich spices. There was plenty of green khat as well, next to stalls selling cigarettes and beat-up trucks carrying an assortment of foreign goods.<br/><br/>Amongst all of this, surrounded by the living history of his country, Hassan wondered what would happen to this place. Dire Dawa had replaced the ancient city as the gateway to Somalia and financial hub of the Hararghe, but Harar was still very much the beating heart of this region. It was afforded some special rights, retaining a bureaucratic independence almost similar to the free-cities of medieval Europe. And it was one of the last places governed, at least partially, by a feudal noble rather than the Emperor's national government. That noble, Ras Goliad, was of a dying breed, and he was an old acquaintance of Ras Hassan's. Unlike Hassan, Goliad's status as a Ras was more than just honorary. <br/><br/>As they passed further into the city, the roads became tighter. Second stories leaned over the road, trapping in the scent of human habitation. This place smelled oppressively of humanity, like a mix of spices, sweat, and dung. Here, the pedestrian traffic was less noticeable. The few walkers they ran into gave them a wide berth. Conversations died as Hassan went by. Perhaps they could identify the Ras by sight, or perhaps they just knew that a man in uniform surrounded by a number of straight-faced men also in uniform meant something serious. Groups of young women in neon-colored dresses stood and ogled, while gaunt men watched from their stoops with weary eyes. <br/><br/>They came across Goliad's estate quite suddenly. It could not be seen from a distance, beyond the many old mosques which dominated the city's skyline. It was a rather simple estate-house built into the side of the wall. An old turret tower along the wall seemed to dominate the estate, and Hassan noticed the barrel of an Anti-Aircraft gun poking above its crenels. Hassan realized what the house was by the anachronistic looking militiamen loitering in front of the entrance. They wore white cotton gabi's over their clothes. Some wore pelts, and others wore padded robes that hung from the neck. There were swords hanging from the belts of a few, but almost all were armed with modern rifles. When they saw Hassan, they let him in. His Palestinians waited outside.<br/><br/>The estate smelled like incense and cigarettes. There were rugs on the floors, and padded chairs made from hard wood. An elderly woman was sweeping the floor with a straw broom. She looked up from her work at Hassan, and the face she made when she saw him was that of uncomfortable surprise, as if a priest had just walked in on her mildly sinning. She pointed up the stairs, and Hassan followed her direction.<br/><br/>The staircase was thin and steep. Hassan clung to the wall as he climbed, and though he tried to take each step carefully, the wood rasped under his feet. When he came up stairs, he saw a cone-shaped shield on the wall, across from a window that looked out over the city. He heard muttering from a nearby room, accompanied by a monstrous growling, like that of several animals feeding on a fresh kill.<br/><br/>And so Hassan went in that room.<br/><br/>On the floor, bent awkwardly on one knee, the aging Ras Goliad was feeding a pair of spotted Hyenas. The animals moved with a wild strength that you do not see in dogs. Goliad held mangled strips of raw red meat in one hand and delegated whose turn it was to feed with the other. All the while, he stayed calm, and a lit cigarette dangled casually from his mouth.<br/><br/>""War hounds?"" Hassan spoke.<br/><br/>Goliad sniffed and stood up. ""Just pets."" he replied in a raspy voice. ""The Harari feed Hyena's outside their towns to keep the animals from eating their children. I started doing the same thing just as an excuse to leave the walls, but I ended up growing fond of the animals. Decided to keep a few around."" Goliad whistled, and the Hyena's sat down like dutiful children in their classroom.<br/><br/>""It's been a couple of years."" Goliad turned and smiled. ""How are you? How are your friends?""<br/><br/>""Thanks be to Allah, I am doing well."" Hassan replied politely, and the two men shook hands and embraced each other like old friends.<br/><br/>Ras Goliad was ten years older than Hassan. The remaining hair on his head had turned white, and it clung close to his scalp. He sported a wiry chin-curtain, though the rest of his face was clean shaven. His gabi fell over the beginnings of a pot belly, but he was of average weight, and it did not look like he had lost much of his former strength. He was simply dressed for a noble, with cotton pants and leather boots worn under a pale gabi.<br/><br/>""I have not seen your daughter since her coronation. Have you heard from her since they arrived in China?"" Goliad asked.<br/><br/>""No. I have faith that they are well."" Hassan answered. The question of what had happened before she arrived in China, of the crash on Socotra and the days that passed where the entire nation presumed their Queen and heir both lost, it hung over the conversation now like a dark cloud that neither man needed to speak of. Azima and Hassan had never enjoyed a warm relationship. She was his daughter by accident, and he had only adopted her at the Emperor Yohannes' request. But he did raise her. When she grew up, she became a son to him, and he had never realized how much of his legacy rested on her until she disappeared. War had occupied his life then, just as it did now, but for that short period of time she was missing, he had went to battle with the understanding that his life had produced absolutely nothing else. And when the Chinese found her, he had been truly and completely relieved. In some ways he appreciated the Communists more for that than for their declaration of war against Spain.<br/><br/>""And is the Emperor well?"" Goliad moved the conversation. ""I have not seen him for a year now, I believe. His enemy has murdered his mother. I know that must be hard.""<br/><br/>""I have not seen him for a month now."" Hassan answered. ""With the Ferengi on the march, I have no time for the capital. I hear he is gathering support, in his way. His majesty is good with people. I think he is doing the best that he can considering the circumstances.""<br/><br/>""We need to talk about the war."" Ras Goliad nodded. ""I want to know what you are planning. But..."" Goliad pondered for a something for a moment until his droopy eyes lit up. ""Come with me, I want to show you something.""<br/><br/>They passed through several rooms until they reached a thick wooden door that Goliad struggled to push open. Once inside, Hassan realized that they had entered the tower. The walls were completely rounded, and made of very old sandstone. Fresh beams of wood criss-crossed the room and reinforced the ceiling above. The smell of cedar permeated the space, mixed with the scent of very old dust. Goliad led Hassan up a spiraling staircase until they reached the top, where the open air met them and only crenels stood between them and the precipice. <br/><br/>""Seventy five milometer."" Goliad said, motioning toward the Anti-Aircraft gun he had installed on the tower. ""Maximum range at thirteen kilometers. Auto-loader lets me fire forty five rounds a minute, and it's got a targeting system that I can sit in."" Goliad said. A stray ash from his cigarette caught the wind and sparked as it blew away. ""I would take it apart to see how it works. The autoloader that is. If you had given this gun to me a year ago, I would have.""<br/><br/>Hassan smiled. ""Do you use it to kill birds? You know a lot about it and there hasn't been any Spaniards this far out yet.""<br/><br/>Goliad shrugged. ""We set up some targets out in the desert."" he motioned toward the empty plains north of the city. ""I wanted to see how it functioned. Get comfortable with it so that when the enemy does come, this beautiful girl will be as a second arm for me. And, also, it's fun to use.""<br/><br/>""I've never fired one of these, to be honest with you."" Hassan replied.<br/><br/>""Really?"" Goliad replied, and he seemed genuinely shocked. ""Truly? I don't know how you wouldn't have, since you have direct access to our country's arsenal. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to play with this one if you hadn't given it to me.""<br/><br/>""I gave you five."" Hassan noted. ""Where did the other four go? Are they in your garden?""<br/><br/>Goliad chuckled. ""No, I have put them outside of the walls. Inside is too dense, they would make people's homes into targets. But this one... I had to have this one. If they target my home, then so be it.""<br/><br/>Two servants brought out two thin wicker chairs and a table just then. Goliad motioned for Hassan to sit, and the two men sat down under the barrel of the Anti-Aircraft gun. <br/><br/>""So, how is the war going? I want all of the news."" Goliad started.<br/><br/>""The Spaniards are still trapped in the Danakil. I don't think they completely understood the ground they chose to launch from. It is a very bad spot.""<br/><br/>""It's a straight shot toward the capital."" Goliad replied. ""If they landed on the northern coast, they would have had to slog through the highlands. If they had landed in Mogadishu, that would have placed even more desert in their way.""<br/><br/>""I think they would have done better on the northern coast."" Hassan retorted. ""But really, I thought they would land in multiple places at once.""<br/><br/>Goliad sneezed. ""That would have cost this Minister Sotelo quite a lot. If he is banking on one front, that means that he does not have the resources to handle the others. Tell me, have you any plans for the western border.""<br/><br/>Hassan felt strange saying it outright, but Goliad was an old mentor and comrade in arms. ""I am sending several Sefari over to try and overrun the Ivory Coast. They will be going in very soon. That will be very expensive for us, but it will mean cutting Sotelo off from some of the richest oil fields in his Empire.""<br/><br/>Goliad nodded. ""Do this soon. An oil crisis just as his armies in Ethiopia cross the hottest desert in the world. You understand war, Ras Hassan. Let nobody say otherwise. The more bogged down their supply lines in the Danakil become, the quicker their campaign will deteriorate. If they get thirsty enough, perhaps even a passing Afar salt caravan will be enough to chase them back into the sea.""<br/><br/>""It is hopeful thinking."" Hassan replied. ""If Sotelo is smart, and I do not think that he isn't, then he has stored enough petroleum to dampen whatever effects an oil crisis might have on his armies. But I think it will have an effect on his people back at home. Sotelo is a Prime Minister. If they people hate him enough, they can vote his party out of government.""<br/><br/>""That would be good too."" Goliad replied. ""Do not worry on that account. Our people will make this war difficult for them at every step. I have already gotten several letters from old friends in Tigray. They want to kill Spaniards, and their sons want to kill Spaniards, and none of them will let the opportunity slip. Every amba in Ethiopia has a monk on top of it praying for God to curse Spain, and ever village is filled with young boys polishing spear tips and practicing with their rifles. The people of Hararghe are whispering about a Jihad against the ferengi.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Hassan nodded. ""I know that Spain cannot win, but that does not mean <span class=""bb-i"">we</span> will win. I don't know what it will look like when this war is over.""<br/><br/>Goliad sniffed. ""We cannot worry about that now. Right now it is the time to just fight.""<br/><br/>""We have to plan for the future."" Hassan retorted. ""For instance, what would you do if this war caused us to no longer have an Emperor? Sotelo is declaring this war on Yaqob, after all, more so than he is on Ethiopia.""<br/><br/>""Eh, don't be foolish. He's declaring war on Africa and blaming Yaqob.""<br/><br/>""But that does not mean Yaqob is safe."" he said. ""What would you do if you were made Emperor, for instance?"" <br/><br/>Goliad sniffed. ""Me? I'm in my sixties, and you remember how I spent my younger years. All of the Rases of my youth thought they would make a better Emperor than Iyasu, and so my people and your people had to die putting them back in their place. Did I ever tell you what happened when Iyasu tried the four we took on Debre Damos? I was there at their trial.""<br/><br/>""No.""<br/><br/>""Let's see. Iyasu tried them all himself, and everybody in the room knew that the old man was out for blood. He hated rebels with a strange passion, more than you would expect an Emperor to do, and any time they were in his presence it looked like the old man was going to bust a vein. But there we were, sitting in the hall and waiting for him to pass judgement on them one by one. First came Ras Guggsa, and he spat and cursed and said everything you could imagine to ruin his honor before the Emperor sentenced him to die. Then came Ras Aron, who was a man of few words. But still he died. And then Ras Eba was brought in front of the Emperor. He tried to reach for a weapon, but one of the Homeguard tackled him and dragged him away. Of course, he was sentenced to die, and he did. By the time they made it to Ras Petros-Menas, the poor lad was shaking in his boots so bad that he couldn't produce a word in his defense.""<br/><br/>""He died too."" Hassan recalled. Goliad nodded and confirmed it.<br/><br/>""I've seen what happens when people try to become Emperor when it isn't their place to do so. Menelik secured the title for his descendants, and every one of them has earned it. Sure, I am a man, and I do not bend my mind and twist my own thoughts to make them like my Emperor's. I have disagreed with all of them. Iyasu was always a little mad, and his son had a messiah complex. Yaqob means well... but he isn't really Ethiopian, he didn't spend much of his youth here, so he has too many foreign ideas. I see he means well, but... well, I am a governor, so I see what happens when his ideas are fulfilled. For instance, his agricultural policy. His crop tithe, the ten percent of the yield he takes from farmers, that might have saved us from famine and so it was a good idea, but keeping it at the same rate every year just breeds contempt. When the bad years do come, the tithe remains and the farmers who live off of their subsistence are all of a sudden required to take from the national grain dole when they could have just kept all of their produce. There is no sense in that. And the 'exchanges' where he has bureaucrats decide the price of grain? That was a bad idea entirely. The bureaucrats set the prices too low so that grain remains 'affordable' according to their standards, and the farmers react by planting Khat instead of grain. Khat isn't regulated, and it sells for much more than grain, but what is the use? Nobody can feed their family on khat, and people end up waiting around for the affordable grain.""<br/><br/>""You sound like a man who might want to be an Emperor after all."" Hassan jibed.<br/><br/>""No no."" Goliad cut the air with his hand. ""Not for me. I want to see an Emperor like from the old times. Perhaps it is good to not allow the Rases to come back to power and be able to raise soldiers, I can see why that has caused trouble for our country in the past, but his majesty should at least entrust local matters to the governors. Let us handle the issue of prices in our own regions.""<br/><br/>""Then what about the poor? That is Yaqob's worry."" Hassan retorted. He wasn't an economist, and had never worried so much about Yaqob's social policies, but he liked seeing his old friend riled up.<br/><br/>""There is the church."" Goliad sniffed. ""The Mohammedans are good when it comes to taking care of the poor, I've seen that while being the governor here. Do not get me wrong, I have no love for the Ferengi, but I think their capitalists are right. You must maintain an aristocracy, of Rases or governors or businessmen, and you must let them make the decisions for the people. It is easier to determine the prices and rules on your own land than it is to determine the same for an entire Empire. But..."" the aging Ras cleared his throat. ""That is enough rebellion for one afternoon. Sit here and wait, I remember I had something else that I wanted to show you.<br/><br/>Hassan waited alone. The sun was setting in the west, and the air was beginning to cool. Below the walls, the sound of birds and insects began to grow louder. He was facing north, toward the war, but he could not see any evidence of it. The country felt like it was at peace.<br/><br/>Goliad's frustration with the Emperor was not news to Hassan. Goliad and his father had been loyal to Iyasu throughout that Emperor's reign, and they had ruled from their feudal seat in Tigray while other Rases rebelled against the Emperor. It was loyalists like Goliad, combined with the support Iyasu found in Hararghe and Somalia, that had kept the Emperor on his throne. But the rebellions taught Iyasu and his descendants to distrust the traditional nobility of their own country, and they had all kept Goliad's father, and then Goliad, on a short leash. After his father's death, Goliad had been sent to govern Hararghe. The appointment was a political ploy. Hararghe was the richest part of the country, controlling all trade east of the Ethiopian highlands, so it was a lucrative prize that no man could turn down. But it was a Muslim country, and Goliad was Christian. Iyasu had given this land to Goliad hoping that the Ras would constantly be bogged down by untrusting Muslims and at all times cut off from his own people.<br/><br/>But that was not how it actually played out.<br/><br/>Goliad would never say it, but he was a deft politician. He had left much of the governance of the province the the Islamic courts, only intervening when he needed to keep the peace or maintain a facade of Imperial sovereignty. He had also maintained connections with Tigray by writing letters to old allies and their descendants, and occasionally inviting them to his estate in Harar. In this way, he cultivated the image of a fair statesman and symbol of the old world, and he kept himself out of the way of the Imperial political machine. <br/><br/>While Goliad was away, servants came up and deposited two bowls of tibs - meat grilled in spices - alongside a basket of hot injera. Hassan stared at the food and did not touch it, but it reminded him that he hadn't eaten since that morning. He waited patiently until Goliad returned.<br/><br/>""Look at this beautiful thing."" Goliad beamed, carrying a rather ugly rifle with a green, misshapen stock, and an elongated scope. ""I purchased it as a kit from Poland and put it together myself. Can send a seven dot sixty two millimeter cartridge about eight hundred meters. I haven't measured the distance myself, but I know I can knock a bird out of the air at about a half a kilometer away.""<br/><br/>""You can see a bird that far off?"" Hassan asked, surprised.<br/><br/>Goliad shrugged. ""Well, something like that anyway."" He shouldered the rifle, put a round in the chamber, and fired at a flock of birds in the distance.""<br/><br/>""Food arrived."" Hassan reminded.<br/><br/>""Oh yes."" Goliad replied with all the interest of a child at an opera. He shouldered the rifle and fired again. ""Go ahead and eat, I will get to it soon.""<br/><br/>It was only when coffee arrived that Goliad placed the gun on the floor at his side and started eating. By that time, Hassan had already finished half of a bowl, and the spicy meat had caused indigestion to set in, which meant that he shunned the coffee entirely. <br/><br/>""Tell me."" Hassan started to say. He was feeling drowsy now that the sun was setting and he was full. ""Did you advise Yohannes to choose me for that mission in the Congo so many years ago?""<br/><br/>Goliad shook his head and swallowed what he was chewing. ""No. He asked and I said you were a good soldier, but he already knew who you were before he came to me. Your grandfather's name precedes you.""<br/><br/>""I always wondered."" Hassan said. ""My career has always seemed strange to me.""<br/><br/>""The careers of successful people are always strange."" Goliad said, lifting the rifle and and shouldering it to fire at another bird. The shot caused Hassan's ears to ring this time. Goliad put down the rifle and continued. ""Because success doesn't happen to most people. And besides, you are really good at what you do. I would be surprised if there is a strategist equal to you within the Spanish Empire. In fact, the only person in recent memory who was a better strategist than you was the Rouge General.""<br/><br/>""I defeated him."" Hassan defended.<br/><br/>""You tricked him."" Goliad replied. ""Cutting off the arms of children? That wasn't a strategy, that was a dirty trick.""<br/><br/>Hassan was used to this admonishment. He had heard it one hundred times from the Princess Taytu. He did not, however, expect to hear it from Goliad. ""How is a dirty trick not a strategy? It was an ugly thing, but so was that war, and I ended it with just a few arms lost. The alternative was more war, more rebellion.""<br/><br/>""Maybe it is all in degrees of horror, yes. I can see that. Maybe we have to consider what sacrifices must be made for the common good. But maybe too we all need to draw a line somewhere, say there is things we will never do. For me, torturing children seems like a good place to draw the line.""<br/><br/>Hassan had nothing to say. He tried to look at it through Goliad's eyes, but all he saw was the end result. Marcel Hondo-Demissie was dead, his rebellion was dead, an central Africa was no longer in anarchy. <br/><br/>""I've heard the Spanish use gas."" Goliad said, biting off the word <span class=""bb-i"">gas</span>. He was done eating now, and he held his rifle in his lap waiting for another bird to fly by and present itself as a target. ""That poisoned gas which was used on that city in America. If they use it in Harar, I have no way to counter it. They could wipe out our entire base of operations here, and the city with it. I wish to get the people out.""<br/><br/>""The Chinese are offering to evacuate some of our people to China so they can wait out the war there.""<br/><br/>""No."" Goliad replied. ""That does not sound good to me. These people need their land. I am going to evacuate the city myself, and find villages that will house their countrymen for a little while.""<br/><br/>""That is a good idea."" Hassan said. ""But you do not have to tell me. What you do with your people is your choice.""<br/><br/>Goliad sniffed. ""I know, but I need to tell somebody, because I do not think it is a good idea. It is just the only idea I have.""<br/></div>"
22194,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-11-10 21:32:00,Morden Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>It was two o’clock in the morning when Joyce Campbell had woken her husband with an urgent phone call from Samuel Hobbs. Fraser had stirred for a while before taking the phone from his wife, pressing it against his ear, and muttering a barely comprehensible greeting to Hobbs. If his Director of Communications was calling him at this time of night it meant something bad had happened. Fraser shuffled upright and wiped the sleep from his eyes as he readied himself for an account of some unsuccessful operation in Cape Town. Instead Hobbs informed the Prime Minister that a police constable had been shot dead on a Brixton council estate last night. Fraser felt his blood run cold as Hobbs confirmed the shooters had been coloured. A police constable murdered by coloureds on the day he’d announced the government’s repatriation plan. The Prime Minister sighed, instructed Hobbs to set a meeting with his Home Secretary as soon as possible, and climbed from his bed to begin his morning.  <br/><br/>It took him the best part of an hour to wash, dress, and shake off the throbbing headache that he’d woken with. It was rare that Campbell woke without them. Most nights he managed four hours sleep, sometimes five if it was a slow day in the world, and last night he’d managed a paltry two hours. Undeterred Campbell buttoned up his double-breasted suit and slipped on his thick glasses before making his way downstairs to his Downing Street office. Hobbs and Moore were already waiting for him inside. Hobbs stood as the Prime Minister entered and Fraser gestured to him to take his seat. Moore remained seated in his armchair with a sickly-sweet smile on his face.<br/><br/>Moore was the closest thing Fraser Campbell had to a nemesis. He’d had been two years ahead of Fraser at Oxford and rumour had it that he and Joyce had enjoyed a “whirlwind romance” shortly before Joyce and Fraser had met. That nugget grated on Fraser more than Moore’s attempts to undermine him during cabinet meetings or his shameless attempts to curry favour with the King behind Campbell’s back. Joyce had assured him that it had been nothing but Fraser found it hard to suppress the resentment he felt towards Moore about it. Perhaps it was because in the Home Secretary’s deep blue eyes he sensed a quiet self-congratulation. Thomas Moore was tall, in excellent shape, with a full head of bouffant blonde hair smattered with greys that was more befitting of a thespian than it was politician. Even Campbell had to admit that Moore was handsome. It had come as a shock to many that King William had passed Moore over and appointed Fraser Prime Minister two years ago. At least Fraser had <span class=""bb-i"">that</span> over him.<br/><br/>Hobbs had pleaded with the Prime Minister to remove Moore on more than a dozen occasions but Fraser dared not move against him. Despite Moore’s manifold character flaws he was <span class=""bb-i"">adored</span> by the British public and commanded the loyalties of a sizeable contingent of the Prime Minister’s cabinet. As with Campbell’s other great enemy he would have to bide his time before he moved on them. Until then he would hug Moore so closely to him that the Home Secretary would have next to nothing to use to differentiate himself from the Prime Minister with.<br/><br/>After a short briefing from Hobbs as to the particulars of PC Oldfield’s shooting Moore looked towards the Prime Minister and spoke at him with his oaky, Shakespearian voiced. “We can’t afford to look weak.”<br/><br/>“That’s not going to happen,” Fraser said forcefully. “I want you on the phone with every Police Commissioner in the country the second you leave here. Forget about the paperwork, for the next week I want as many able-bodied police officers out there pounding the pavement. We need to show the British people that have we have the situation under control and that there will <span class=""bb-i"">not</span> be a repeat of last night. Times like these require a show of force.”<br/><br/>Moore nodded with a well-practised nonchalance. “Agreed.”<br/><br/>It was clear from Sam’s expression that he detested Moore. Fraser suspected his Director of Communications might have been the only man whose hatred of Moore outweighed his own. He'd taken to looking out of the window instead of expending effort trying to suppress his dislike of the Home Secretary. <br/><br/>“The media are going to want a statement.”<br/><br/>Campbell cleared his throat. “The murder of PC James Oldfield was act of senseless violence against a public servant that had dedicated his life to protecting the British people. We’re determined to bring his killers to justice and will use <span class=""bb-i"">every</span> resource at our disposal to see justice done. That’s the line.”<br/><br/>“And on the Voluntary Repatriation Bill?” Moore asked with a smile. “You know they're going to ask given the shooter was coloured.”<br/><br/>The Home Secretary’s smile was thick was meaning. Moore had been the biggest advocate of the Repatriation Bill when Fraser had brought it before cabinet and had made great effort to contact every news outlet to express his unreserved support for repatriation. You wouldn’t know it from that smile. The smile said that despite supporting the policy the Home Secretary would happily see it come acropper so that the Prime Minister might end up with egg on his face. PC James Oldfield was a pawn in Moore's game. One he would seek to use to devastating effect should Fraser row back on repatriation. Fortunately Campbell had no intention of doing that.<br/><br/>The Prime Minister stared at Moore through his thick-lensed glasses. “It goes ahead.”<br/><br/>The perversity of having to defend a policy he privately abhorred was not lost on Campbell. He reminded himself of the conversation he’d had with Joyce the previous night. They were doing this for something bigger than themselves and their pride. When Fraser had enough power he was going to build a liberal, secular British republic that worked like a democracy was meant to work. A Britain where kings no longer set policy for Prime Ministers in meetings behind closed doors and every man was a king in his own right. Once he’d built <span class=""bb-i"">that</span> Britain maybe he could bring the economic migrants back. He smiled at the thought as Hobbs turned back from the window towards him.<br/><br/>“On the record we deny, deny, deny any link between the announcement of the Voluntary Repatriation Bill and last night. Off the record we brief the newspapers that PC Oldfield's murder illustrates the <span class=""bb-i"">growing</span> threat the immigrant fifth column in our capital poses and that it vindicates the government's decision to kickstart a discussion about repatriation. How does that sound?”<br/><br/>Like Hobbs, it was somehow awful and brilliant at the same time. Campbell shot his Director of Communications a laudatory smile. “It sounds like you’re worth every penny of taxpayer’s money I spend on you.”<br/><br/>Hobbs flashed a toothy smile back. “Was that ever in doubt?”<br/><br/>Moore watched on in silence from behind his interlocked fingers. He looked unimpressed by the scene. The Home Secretary let out an exasperated sigh and pulled his fingers apart. His blue eyes met with Fraser’s and he stared at the Prime Minister as if Hobbs didn't exist.<br/><br/>“Have you spoken to the Palace? They’re going to want to be briefed about last night.”<br/><br/>Campbell shook his head. “The Palace will have to wait for the time being.”<br/><br/>Moore raised his eyebrows at the Prime Minister’s comment and rose from his chair to walk towards the exit. “They’re not going to like that.”<br/><br/>The Home Secretary turned to reach for the handle of the Prime Minister's office. Whilst Moore's back was turned Hobbs pointed towards him and mimicked fellatio to make his feelings about Moore felt. Fraser smiled and turned to find Moore looking him straight in the face. There was suspicion in his eyes as he loomed over the Prime Minister in the doorway. Fraser stood his ground, placed his hand on the small of the Home Secretary's back, and ushered him through it with a polite smile.<br/><br/>“Why don’t you let me worry about that?”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>Errol Clarke had woken up later than usual that morning. By the time he was out of bed Keenan and Simone had already left. Errol cleaned up and headed to the kitchen for a cup of tea to wake himself up properly but found the fridge barren. The old man noticed a post-it note on the front of the fridge door as he shut it. On it was the word “milk” written in Simone’s handwriting and a smiley face beside it. Errol smiled and plucked the post-it note from the fridge and placed it into the pocket of his trousers. He felt his stomach rumble and decided he’d venture into Brixton to pick up a few bits and pieces, milk chief amongst them. The old man took great care as he buttoned up the black waist-coat that sat over the pink and purple shirt he wore. When he reached the door to their flat he grabbed his walking stick, pulled on his thick black overcoat, and reached for the black fedora. He’d owned the hat since 1958 and never left the hat without it. He wasn’t about to break the habit of a lifetime.<br/><br/>The descent down the stairs of Moorlands Estate was a steep one but Errol always opted for stairs over a lift. It was important for a man of his age to keep mobile and to boot Errol had never been a fan of confined spaces. He took the bus into Brixton and looked around the market for a time. Brixton had been torn apart by the Troubles but Brixton Market was as vibrant as it had ever been. On that little stretch of road there were foods and spices to be had from all corners of the world. After a while Errol succumbed to the hunger and stopped at a local Caribbean restaurant for something to eat. A healthy serving of curry goat, a portion rice and peas, and some macaroni cheese left the old man stuffed. Errol was so full that he almost forgot the milk on his way back.<br/><br/>Two stops after he’d boarded his bus home it broke down. Upon disembarking Errol remembered he was only a thirty second walk away from an old pub that he'd frequented as a much younger man. He checked his wristwatch for the time and lugged his shopping bags inside it for a Guinness for old time’s sake. A broad smile appeared on the old man’s face as he spotted cricket on the television on the corner of the pub and he set himself down in the corner with his shopping bags. Errol had considered himself a prodigious cricketing talent back in his youth. In truth he had been average at best but the love of the sport had stayed with him. Clarke was so focused on the cricket he barely touched his Guinness. <br/><br/>Some time afterward the doors to the pub burst open. It was a small group of teenagers. They were white, which was peculiar for Brixton, no older than seventeen or eighteen, and they all wore identical denim jackets and dark black boots. Only the finest bristles remained on their shaven heads. They shouted, threw things around, and caused enough of a commotion that Errol could barely concentrate on the cricket. When he looked over his shoulder at them he noticed one, the tallest of the group, tap his two friends on the shoulder and gesture in Errol’s direction. Clarke muttered under his breath disapprovingly and tried to turn his attention back to the cricket. It was too late by then. They had found a new target.<br/><br/>They set about tearing up beer mats and rolling the scraps into little balls to launch at Errol. He ignored them to begin with and tried to focus on the cricket but even he grew impatient after a while. When one landed in his Guinness as he was about to drink from it Errol drew a line in the sand. They could barely hear him speaking to them as they roared with laughter at their achievement so Errol repeated himself with a smile.<br/><br/>“Is there a problem?”<br/><br/>The laughter stopped and the three youths crossed the pub and stood by the booth that Errol was sat in. The ringleader pushed Errol in the shoulder and the two watching on laughed with him.<br/><br/>“You’re the problem,” the boy said with a scowl. “You and your kind.”<br/><br/>Errol sighed. “I think I ought to be on my way.”<br/><br/>He leant down to pick up his shopping bags and attempted to squeeze past the three young men. They stood in his way and with the bags in his hands and his walking stick it was near impossible to pass them. Finally the ringleader shook his head and shoved Errol as hard as he could. “Sit down, boy.”<br/><br/>Errol fell back into the booth but managed to grab hold of the edge of it to break his fall. It took him longer than it once might have but the old man managed to regain his balance. Once he had he shook his head in the boy’s direction and spoke in a voice as clear and as direct as he could.<br/><br/>“I’m not your boy.”<br/><br/>Clarke answering back seemed to anger him and the boy swatted what remained of Errol’s pint of Guinness onto the ground. “You’re whatever I say you are, wog.”<br/><br/>The landlord of the pub was watching on in silence. He was white, in his fifties, and his cheeks were gaunt. Errol made eye contact with him in the hopes that he might say something but the landlord chose instead to avert his eyes. He looked down at the glass he was pretending to clean. There was guilt in his face but he seemed more relieved that the youths had redirected their ire at someone else than anything. Errol shook his head in disapproval at the man’s cowardice.<br/><br/>“Like I said,” Clarke said as he attempted to pass the boys again. “I think I ought to be on my way.”<br/><br/>A fist came flying towards him. It was quick, too quick, and it knocked him to the ground upon making contact with his eye socket. <br/><br/>“You’re not going anywhere.”<br/><br/>Errol could feel the blood rushing from a cut on his eyebrow but not much else. One of the boy’s knelt beside him and rifled through his pocket. He pulled out Errol’s wallet, took the notes from it, and then discarded it on the ground next to the old man. Clarke saw a flash of yellow as Simone’s post-it note floated down onto the floor next to him. “Milk” it read. In his periphery he saw the ringleader pull the carton of milk Errol had bought from one of the shopping bags. He unscrewed it, pulled the plastic seal from the top, and drank from it greedily. Milk poured all down the boy’s front and he roared with laughter once he was satisfied. Then his eyes met Errol there on the ground.<br/><br/>Clarke had managed to pull himself up and though his ears were ringing he still was attempting to stand. The ringleader gestured to the two other boys to hold him and they placed their hands around Errol’s biceps and restrained him there on his knees. The ringleader swaggered over with the carton of milk in his hand and tiltled it precariously over Errol’s head. A single drop splashed against his forehead to begin with but within seconds the whole carton had been emptied onto him. He was soaked through with milk.<br/><br/>“We’ve had enough of your kind,” the ringleader shouted angrily as he ran his hand through Errol’s milk-soaked hair. “You come over here, take our jobs from us, and then act like you fucking own the place. What you need to do is fuck off back to Africa and take your twenty children with you. You hear me?”<br/><br/>An involuntary titter escaped from Errol’s lips and the young man’s spiteful face grew twisted with rage. “What are you fucking laughing at?”<br/><br/>He slapped Errol across the face and it sent the old man’s ears ringing even worse. Errol spotted his walking stick just out of his reach and one of the other boy’s bent down to pick it up with a smile. He twiddled it between his fingers. The other boy reached down and picked up Errol’s hat. It had fallen from his head when the ringleader had punched Errol in the eye. The boy looked ridiculous with it on, though no more ridiculous than he already did, but Clarke figured he probably wasn’t in a position to give out sartorial advice. No matter how badly these young men needed it. He tittered again at skinhead wearing a fedora manufactured in Montego Bay and once again the ringleader’s rage bubbled.<br/><br/>“Having a right laugh at that policeman your boys shot last night, I bet.”<br/><br/>There on the ground next to Errol was Simone’s post-it note. He tried to reach out towards it but the boy with his walking stick brought it crashing down against his hand. Clarke cried out in pain and drew his hand back towards him. Before he’d had a chance to cradle it he saw a black leather boot flying towards his face. It connected with a crunch and Errol Clarke slid to the ground again. Simone’s post-it note rested inches from his face but Clarke was barely conscious, barely breathing, as boot after boot began to rain down on him. With each that connected was a sickening crunch and the milk that had pulled beneath Errol turned blood red.<br/><br/>Finally the barrage of kicks ended and the three boys stared down at Errol Clarke’s lifeless, battered body with triumphant smiles. The ringleader stepped across Clarke’s body and lifted his overcoat from the booth. He pulled it over his thick shoulders, gestured to the other boys that they were leaving, and then shot a menacing smile at the landlord as they moved to make their exit.<br/><br/>“See you around.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Islington, London</span><br/><br/>On the small television screen in the corner of the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jersualem’s</span> office was Prime Minister Fraser Campbell stood in front of a lectern. Beneath him on a ticker tape football scores whirred past. Sebastian Hedland glanced down at them with a smile as he noticed Plymouth Argyle had beaten Exeter by two goals. The Prime Minister had been speaking for fifteen minutes uninterrupted about the murder of PC James Oldfield, the “robust” and “thorough” response the Metropolitan Police had planned, and the need for calm on Britain’s streets. Prime Minister Campbell wasn’t exactly the most gifted orator and he’d put half of the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> staff to sleep after ten minutes. Fred Lambert chewed on a pen at the desk next to Seb and gestured towards the television screen with it.<br/><br/>“What do you think?”<br/><br/>Seb smiled mischievously at his Editor and spun to face him. “I think I’m awfully glad I don’t live in Brixton.”<br/><br/>Lambert looked unimpressed and Hedland shrugged his shoulders. “We should have gone on the Repatriation Bill. There’s no way the two aren’t related. South London’s a dump and has been for decades but since the Troubles died down even they stop short of murdering policemen. This has to be about the Repatriation Bill.”<br/><br/>He’d pressed Lambert on the nuclear option yesterday and his Political Editor had turned him down. Lambert was an excellent Editor and Hedland understood that he owed his career to him but the man had grown cautious in his old age. He looked at the staff of the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> like they were his children rather than his subordinates. Seb wondered sometime what it would take to get Lambert to go public on something and break the government’s censorship laws. If the introduction of a painfully illiberal “Voluntary” Repatriation Bill wasn’t enough then Hedland wasn’t sure what would be. Lambert was critical of the government’s conduct in private, the way it interfered in everyday life without care, and sought to micro-manage every aspect of public life. Yet not once had the old man’s words found their way into the <span class=""bb-b"">New Jerusalem</span>. <br/><br/>He was as scared of Hobbs as the rest of the Political Editors even though he liked to pretend otherwise. Hedland could smell Lambert’s fear as his face twisted at the suggestion Oldfield’s murder and the repatriations announcement were somehow linked. “We can’t prove that.”<br/><br/>Seb pointed to the images of Brixton flashing across the television screen. “I could go down there and see what I could find out.”<br/><br/>“You’re not going to get anything of worth,” Lambert said with a shake of his head. “The Met are going to have Brixton locked down and word has come on down from Downing Street they won’t tolerate any attempt to link the two. It’s not worth the time.”<br/><br/>There it was. When Lambert said “Downing Street” had sent word it almost always meant Hobbs. On a few <span class=""bb-i"">very</span> rare occasions it meant the Director of Communication’s second-in-command Dominic Hewitt. Seb had met Hewitt a few times and found him to be agreeable enough, if a little self-regarding, but he was certainly the lesser of two evils compared to Samuel Hobbs.<br/><br/>Hedland let out an exasperated sigh and rested his hands on the back of his head. “This is the biggest story in years, Fred. We have to run something.”<br/><br/>Lambert nodded. “That’s exactly <span class=""bb-i"">why</span> we’re not going to waste our time with it. If you think they’re not going to handwrite our editorial for this thing you have another thing coming.”<br/><br/>Fred used his feet to propel his office chair from his desk towards Seb’s and slapped a newspaper cutting down next to his protégé. It was a small story from the <span class=""bb-i"">Liverpool Echo</span> bearing a picture of some workers stood beside their machinery with proud smiles on their faces. One of Lambert’s chubby fingers tapped the picture of the men as he muttered to Hedland. <br/><br/>“I’m hearing rumblings out of Liverpool about something interesting happening up there. Talk of some workers in a sugar refinery up there forming a co-operative. We might even be able to get out ahead of Downing Street this time.”<br/><br/>“A co-operative,” Hedland said, his voice thick with surprise. “What next? Unions? I didn’t even realise co-operatives were still legal.”<br/><br/>Trade unions had been outlawed decades ago. They had stood with the anarchists after the murder of the British Royal Family during the Troubles. That had signed their death warrant. Once the Armed Forces managed to secure control over Britain and the fighting had stopped anything remotely linked to them was outlawed. The days of organised labour were long gone and the government cracked down hard on the occasional attempt at recreating them under a different name. It meant working conditions in factories and shop floors were dreadful but it was a price worth paying to safeguard Britain’s future. At least that’s what the government said.<br/><br/>“So do you want in? Or should I send you down to Brixton to get stonewalled by the Met all afternoon?”<br/><br/>Hedland thought about it for a while. The Home Secretary gave a short statement after the Prime Minister finished speaking and announced that tens of thousands of police officers would walk London’s streets tonight. As much as he wanted to cover Oldfield’s murder he couldn’t help but begrudgingly agree with Lambert that the story had gone as far as it could. Nothing more of interest was going to happen in Brixton today with such a strong police presence there.<br/><br/>“Liverpool it is then.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Streatham, London</span><br/><br/>Keenan Gayle muttered an obscenity under his breath as he surveyed the traffic on the road ahead of him. Driving through Streatham at this time of day was a nightmare. Keenan’s tired old Vauxhall Viva was caught in both the school rush and people driving home from work. The only silver lining to all the traffic was that Gayle’s tired muscles seemed thankful for the rest. He’d been hard at work on a building site all through the morning and afternoon. In the passenger seat of Keenan’s Vauxhall was his hard hat and a few tools. In the back his daughter Simone sat and stared out of the window whilst flicking through a book she’d taken out of the school library. Keenan looked at in his rearview mirror and smiled. His daughter was his world. She was the reason he woke up early in the mornings and put his body through hell. He hoped one day she’d be a doctor or a lawyer so that they’d have to treat her with the respect they denied him. That was if the government hadn’t sent them home by then.<br/><br/>“Tell me what you learned about today.”<br/><br/>Simone looked up from her book and shrugged her shoulders. “The Romans.”<br/><br/>“The Romans, eh?” Keenan said with a curious smile. “Tell me about the Romans.”<br/><br/>His daughter paused for a few seconds and then muttered uncertainly at Keenan. “They built the… roads?”<br/><br/>He had no idea whether it was true or not. Keenan had barely gone to school as a child and once he’d finally been enrolled in one he was so far behind that he mostly tried to avoid being called on. It was why his nine year old daughter would often correct his spelling or have to read letters that arrived for him. Keenan was trying to fix that though, with Errol’s help, and he’d been saving up the money he made on building sites around London to pay for schooling. Then maybe he’d be able to take books out of the library himself and teach Simone about the Romans instead of the other way around.<br/><br/>For the time being he feigned an impressed face at his daughter. “What else?”<br/><br/>“I think… I think that’s it.”<br/><br/>“Well, roads are important,” Keenan said with an encouraging smile. “How would the cars know where to go without them? And how would I pick you up from school if there weren’t any roads? I’d have to drive through the woods, wouldn’t I?”<br/><br/>His daughter looked back at him with an unimpressed face. “That would be stupid. You’d get a puncture.”<br/><br/>After sitting in gridlock for another twenty minutes they finally managed to make a little progress and passed through into Brixton. There were policemen everywhere. Keenan figured it was about the police officer that had been shot dead on Angell Town estate the night before. It was all over the newspapers and on every radio station. He’d even heard some of the guys on the site this morning speculating that it had something to do with the repatriations thing the government had announced. Keenan wasn’t sure about all that. All he knew was that whoever had done it was really stupid and that they’d made every coloured person in Brixton and elsewhere a little less safe. The police had been quick to target coloureds before. Now they’d be out for blood.<br/><br/>Simone noticed some of the police officers and looked to Keenan with a frown. “Why are there so many police officers?”<br/><br/>Keenan should his head. “I don’t know.” <br/><br/>After they’d driven a way down the road Keenan spotted a road cordoned off by the police and several people crowded round it. He rolled down his window to take a look but couldn’t make out much. A man in the crowd made eye contact with Keenan and Keenan pointed towards the police cordon.<br/><br/>The man approached the Vauxhall and rested his arm on its roof whilst Keenan asked. “What’s going on?”<br/><br/>“A bunch of kids attacked some old man.”<br/><br/>Keenan’s eyes widened and he gestured towards Simone in the back seat as if to suggest the man use more tact. The man nodded and reached into the inside of the burgundy leather jacket he was wearing. From it he plucked a loose cigarette and placed it between his lips whilst Keenan and he watched the crowd gathered around the cordon.<br/><br/>“Is he going to be okay?”<br/><br/>The coloured man shrugged whilst he lit up. “Your guess is as good as mine.”<br/><br/>It was one thing after another in this bloody place. Brixton hadn’t been a utopia to begin with if Errol’s stories were to be believed but now it was even worse. There was still colour and life here but the events of the previous night had shown how dangerous Brixton could be after dark. People round here knew not to leave their homes at night. They knew it wasn’t safe. This was something else though. An old man attacked in the middle of the day? The day was sacred. The day was meant to be safe. Keenan sighed and looked at his daughter in his rear view mirror again. She was oblivious to it all. He hoped to keep her that way for as long as he could.<br/><br/>“We’d better get home,” Keenan said with a warm smile. “Uncle Errol is going to be wondering where we’ve gotten to.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>Ray Newman’s face grew purpler by the second as he listened to Chief Superintendent Christopher Walsh speak. Walsh was leant against his desk explaining to Newman that he was to be placed on leave. It was <span class=""bb-i"">apparently</span> standard protocol but given that a police officer hadn’t been murdered in London since shortly after the Troubles he had no idea whether that was true. All he knew was that he’d spent the past ten years of his life patrolling London’s streets and he had no interest in doing anything <span class=""bb-i"">but</span> that. Walsh had been kind to Newman over the years. He’d stuck by Ray through several accusations of mispractise and had even turned a blind eye when Newman had totaled his car after he’d been on the booze a few years back. Now though Ray could tell that Walsh was speaking to him as Chief Superintendent rather than Chris. Newman wasn’t going to wriggle out of this one by paying for a few rounds.<br/><br/>Once Walsh had finished speaking Ray shook his head with an angry frown. “I <span class=""bb-i"">need</span> to be out there on the street taking the fight to the people that killed James.”<br/><br/>“You’re too close to it,” Walsh sighed with a sympathetic smile. “You know that.”<br/><br/>“That’s why it has to be me.”<br/><br/>Walsh let out a pained sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Look, arguing isn’t going to do you any good this time, Ray, word’s come down from upstairs that you’re to go on administrative leave and that’s what’s going to happen. If it were up to me I’d have you out there in the field but it’s out of my hands. There’s nothing I can do on this one.’”<br/><br/>Newman looked down at his calloused hands. “But what am I meant to do?”<br/><br/>“You’re married, aren’t you? Spend some time with the wife.”<br/><br/>Ray fiddled with the ring on his finger with an embarrassed smile. “Yvette and I separated last September.”<br/><br/>“I’m sorry to hear that,” Chris muttered. “Just… find something to pass the time with away from all of this, some hobbies or something. You might not be able to see it now but this time is going to be good for you. Trust me.”<br/><br/>Newman sat in silence and stared into the distance. There was nothing Ray could do to change Walsh’s mind but outside of the police Ray had nothing left. Yvette had left him when his drinking had got out of hand, his children were away at university and even if they weren’t wouldn’t want <span class=""bb-i"">anything</span> to do with him, and all of his friends were here. Ray had no hobbies. The thought of spending his days alone in his lonely little flat scared him. Every time he shut his eyes he saw James bleeding out on the ground. He didn’t want to be left alone with his thoughts but that was all he had left without his work.<br/><br/>He cleared his throat and stood up from his seat. Walsh extended a hand to him and Ray shook it. He did his best to hide his disappointment as he left Walsh’s office and made his way across the station. It was almost entirely empty now that the Prime Minister had demanded a strong police presence on the streets. The Home Secretary had leant on the Commissioner who had in turned leant on the bosses. <span class=""bb-i"">Everyone</span> was to be out on the streets today, tomorrow, the day after that, and the day after that. They’d be out there until people forgot about James Oldfield. <br/><br/>A hand on Ray’s shoulder made him jump and he turned to see a familiar face looking back. “I’m sorry about what happened to James.”<br/><br/>It was Paul Winters. Winters was a member of Ray’s darts team. He was a decade older than Newman, maybe more, and his hair had been completely white for as long as Ray had known him. He was a slim man, always excellent turned out, and today he wore a tailored navy suit with a light blue shirt and a navy tie. Winters could afford fancy suits. He was CID.<br/><br/>“Thanks,” Newman said as he gestured to the file beneath Paul’s arm. “What do they have you doing?”<br/><br/>“Some old fart was beaten to death this afternoon in Brixton. Poor sod. Two hours later and the whole bloody borough would have been swarming with police officers. Guess it wasn’t his day.”<br/><br/>Ray’s ears pricked up at the mention of Brixton. “Coloured?”<br/><br/>Winters nodded.<br/><br/>“Fuck him then,"" Ray placed one of his hairy hands around Paul’s arm and pulled him close to him. “We shouldn’t be wasting time chasing after their kind given it was one of them that did James in.”<br/><br/>“I hear you,” Winters smiled wryly as he tapped the file. “Administrative errors <span class=""bb-i"">are</span> wont to happen from time to time.”<br/><br/>Newman let go of Paul's arm and patted him on the back with a supportive smile. They stood and shot the shit for a few minutes more, mostly about Ray's impending administrative leave, but Winters had to leave to visit the scene of the crime in Brixton. He had to make it look right if he was going to fudge it. Ray walked out with him and took slightly more comfort from briefly extending the time he spent in Winters company as he knew his lonely flat awaited him once they parted. At least he'd have the knowledge that all across Britain the police would be giving hell to the people that had put James in the ground. That would get him through the first night at least.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Garrett's Green, Birmingham</span><br/><br/>Honor Clarke and Conrad Murray climbed the stairs of their apartment building hand in hand. Conrad was meant to be running an after school club for some of the boys this evening Neil offered to cover for him. Honor had given a speech at a local university in the wake of James Oldfield’s murder that had been well received by the students there. She stressed the importance of <span class=""bb-i"">civil</span> disobedience, the staggering number of coloured deaths in police custody, and the inequality of access to health insurance between whites and coloured. It all added up, Clarke argued, and the government’s Voluntary Repatriations Bill would only worsen matters. Protesters had waiting for Honor as she left, as they often did when she invited to speak somewhere, but the receptiveness of the students to Honor’s argument left her in high spirits nonetheless. The romantic dinner she shared with Conrad only served to raise her spirits even more. She was looking forward to getting him home and feeling his skin against hers. What with her work and Conrad’s teaching schedule it had been too long.<br/><br/>As the pair reached the door to their apartment Conrad stopped dead in his tracks. He pulled Honor behind him forcefully and pointed towards the door that was slightly ajar and broken at the hinges. There were noises coming from inside, <span class=""bb-i"">human</span> noises, whoever had broken into their home was still inside.<br/><br/>The teacher crept towards the door and looked towards Honor with a stern look. “Stay behind me.”<br/><br/>Honor scoffed at the comment. “Stay behind you? It’s 1980, Conrad, not 1908.”<br/><br/>She overtook her boyfriend and pushed the door open. It creaked the entire way as it swung over and revealed the inside of Conrad and Honor’s flat. Their belongings were strewn all over the floor. Honor’s books were scattered around with pages torn out, glasses had been pulled from the kitchen cupboard and smashed on the ground, and even the windows of the flat had been broken. None of this deterred Clarke as she stepped through the doorway without a second’s hesitation.<br/><br/>“We know you’re in there,” Honour shouted into the flat. “Come out now or we’re calling the police.”<br/><br/>Conrad pulled his keys from his pockets and pushed them through the gaps in his fingers. He’d never been in a fight before, he’d never needed to be in one, but if he was about to enter into one he was going to make sure he won it. The sound of footsteps crunching along broken glass made his heart pound a little faster and a chubby bald man in a lime green polo shirt appeared. It was one of their neighbours.  <br/><br/>He smiled at them as if he realised he’d erred in not announcing his presence. “I’m afraid that’s not going to do you much good.”<br/><br/>“Jesus, Zach, you scared the life out of me,” Conrad said as he slipped his keys back into the pocket of his trousers. “What on Earth happened here?”<br/><br/>“It was the police,” Zach sighed as he walked towards Honor and Conrad. “There must have been at least half a dozen of them. Jane saw them kick your door in through the hole in the front door but she was too scared to come out.”<br/><br/>Jane was Zach’s wife. As far as the law was concerned Zachariah Cherney was a happily married man. Zach was a homosexual. On top of that he happened to be Jewish. Both were considered undesirable although <span class=""bb-i"">only</span> one of them was outlawed. The close relationship that Jews had with the labour movement in Britain and their supposed intellectual sympathy with social democracy had lead to their internment for several years after the Troubles had ended. They were released once the Armed Forces had secured Britain and restored order but being Jewish in Britain meant having to <span class=""bb-i"">constantly</span> affirm one’s loyalty to King and country. His “wife” Jane was an older woman, Jewish also, though cripplingly shy and entirely disinterested in sex with either men or women. Their marriage served both of them well.<br/><br/>They had been good neighbours to Conrad and Honor since they had moved to Birmingham. Conrad even noticed that Zach had begun making some attempt to clean the place up before they’d arrived. It wasn’t much, the place was <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> a mess, but the little gestures like that made Conrad certain there was something wrong with Britain if they thought men like Zach were somehow dangerous.<br/><br/>Murray pointed about the flat. “Where they looking for something?”<br/><br/>Zach shook his head. “No, she said the were just trashing the place, I think they wanted to send a message of some sort.”<br/><br/>Honor bent down and picked up a copy of <span class=""bb-i"">“The Souls of Black Folks”</span> by W. E. B Du Bois that’d had most of its pages torn out and flicked through it in silence. She shut her eyes and nodded. “Message received.”<br/><br/>“Honor?” Conrad called out to his girlfriend. “I know that face. What are you thinking?”<br/><br/>“I think it’s about time I sent them a message of my own.”</div>"

A desolate and utterly barren stretch of of the world that stretched out for seemingly ever. Even from the air, not a single speck of green life was to be seen. All the way to the knobby sierras on the distant horizon, all that could be seen was a worthless realm of rocks, hills, and fissures. A realm that the Third Mechanized Infantry of the <span class=""bb-i"">Ejercito Español</span> had come to dominate; a realm that General Victor Ponferrada knew had been bought in the blood of too many of his men.<br/><br/>General Ponferrada watched idly as the shadow of the Barracuda undulated over the ridges and washes of the desert as his gunship flew across the dusty wasteland. The chopper's seemingly-tiny shadow shifting across the terrain below was the only reference for just how vast and empty this place was, aside from the craters that appeared every so often - another feature that imparted a lunar aspect to the Afar Desert. A cluster of these craters came into view from the Barracuda's cockpit, concentrated around an outcropping of volcanic rock. Ethiopian snipers had probably holed up in the crags of the outcropping, harrying the advance of Spanish infantry until a howitzer was moved in to demolish the hiding spot. Ponferrada had already seen these tactics employed all across the Afar front.<br/><br/>Little wonder then that the Spanish advance into the Ethiopian heartland had proved so ploddingly slow. Back in Spain, jingoistic articles about the invasion expected the fall of Addis Ababa within a week of landing in Africa. But the disaster at Djibouti - which not even the Spanish military leadership nor intelligence apparatus could have predicted - portended a more difficult campaign awaiting the Ejercito in Ethiopia. Immediately after fanning out into the Afar, the Spanish officer corps learned that they were in fact fighting against two enemies: the Ethiopian army and the heat of the desert, an alliance the soldiers under Ras Hassan had taken full advantage of. Constant resupply was required to keep the Spanish war machine turning in this environment, not because the men were exhausting their munitions, but their water and vehicle coolant.<br/><br/>Early in the Afar offensive, General Ponferrada had been issued a report concerning one platoon that had been cut off from the rest of the front. Either by design or accident, the Ethiopians had drawn this unit out into a low-lying area and surrounded it during a counteroffensive. By the time reinforcements drove the African forces away and reached the embattled platoon five days later, over half the platoon had been killed. Most of the casualties had been due to dehydration. While that had been happening, General Ponferrada had drafted a request to Madrid for lip balm, as his lips were drying out in the arid desert air.<br/><br/>Ponferrada produced a small tin with <span class=""bb-i"">crema para labios resecos</span> printed on its lid and dabbed a fingertip full of the the pungent-smelling salve onto his lips. He rolled his lips about, tingling from the freshly-applied salve and placed the tin back in the breast pocket of his epaulet-festooned overcoast - a thoroughly miserable thing to wear in nigh-equatorial Africa. The satiny black uniform soaked up the Sun's heat like a sponge and generated pools of sweat under his arms that were thankfully difficult to see on the account of the black fabric. He was a general in the the Spanish Army, appointed to lead the invasion of Ethiopia by Alfonso Sotelo himself. Ponferrada had every intent to look the part no matter how uncomfortable it might be.<br/><br/>Even over the rhythmic drone of the chopper blades, Ponferrada could hear the diesely roar of engines below. A caravan of steel passed by through the general's window: four halftracks carrying about a platoon's worth of infantry down the gravel path that passed for a road in this part of the world. A vanguard of armored vehicles Ponferrada didn't recognize led the convoy across the desert highway. The blue-white triband on their armor plating gave them away; this was an Argentine platoon, a part of the <span class=""bb-i"">Brigada Interacional</span>.<br/><br/>The International Brigade, cobbled together by the Argentine government as a demonstration of solidarity with the Spanish Republic's African campaign, was composed of volunteers from Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, and the Spanish African provinces. Some had come to lend their aid to Sotelo's mission of ousting the socialist-aligned Pan-African Empire from the continent, and some - mostly those from Spanish Africa - sought a path to Spanish citizenship by assisting in their invasion. In any case, High Commander Velazquez and General Ponferrada were unsure of what to make of this unsolicited force of foreigners. Dubious of their combat efficacy, Ponferrada elected to use International Brigade forces as the rear guard of his invasion force. The foreigners, he estimated, were better suited to protecting the supply routes between the front and the beachhead at the ruins of Djibouti. Letting the rabble soak up the bullets of African militias and commandos meant more Spaniards on the frontlines where they belonged.<br/><br/>But perhaps he had underestimated them. Not long ago, Ponferrada had been informed that regulars from the <span class=""bb-i"">Ejercito Argentino</span> serving with the International Brigade had managed to capture a substantial number of enemy combatants near the town of Holhol. When the Argentines asked General Ponferrada what he wished to be done with them, the Spanish commander requested they be held at Holhol until he arrived. The Spanish commander had been waiting for this since Djibouti.<br/><br/>Not long after passing the International Brigade convoy, the gravel road came to bisect a desert town situated on the banks of a dry arroyo. Clusters of blackened artillery craters suggested that some fighting had taken place here. The twisted remnants of a trestle bridge laid in the arroyo channel - a disappointing sight to be sure; a functional railway inland from the coast would have been a boon for resupply efforts.<br/><br/>""This is the place,"" the Barracuda's pilot reported over the roar of the propellers. The gunship eased into a hover over a half-demolished railway station and lowered onto the ground in a maelstrom of dust. Before all of Ponferrada's lackies had even disembarked from the Barracuda, the general was approached by five men clad in battle dress that did correspond to that of the Spanish forces. Argentines, the Spanish commander assumed. He patted propeller dust off of his overcoat and made his way to address the Argentine soldiers.<br/><br/>The Argentine officer was a short, swarthy man with huge swaggering shoulders draped with bullet-laden bandoliers. The stub of a mostly-smoked cigar hung below a large blocky nose that reminded General Ponferrada of the Italians he had fought during his time fighting in their civil war. Like his compatriots, his combat uniform was patterned in dark green camouflage that might have matched the lush Pampas of Argentina, but stuck out against the yellow-brown of the Afar Desert like a sore thumb. <br/><br/>""I am glad you could come to visit us, General Ponferrada,"" the Argentine officer acknowledged, taking one final draw from his stump of a cigar before flicking it aside - his only demonstration of subordination to the Spanish commander. ""Lieutenant Cagnolo, at your command."" Under any other circumstances, Ponferrada would have been infuriated by such casual behavior from his orderlies. But right now, he was concerned with only one thing. <br/><br/>""I understand your men were able to capture some enemy combatants."" The Argentine officer gave a wide, toothy grin.<br/><br/>""Right this way.""<br/><br/>The Argentine squad led General Ponferrada and his staff over through the deserted village. On their way, Lieutenant Cagnolo noticed one of the general's men carrying a wooden crate with airholes poked in the side. Something within grunted every few steps.<br/><br/>""What's in that there box?"" The Argentine asked. The Spanish commander ignored him and continued on his way.<br/><br/>General Ponferrada and his entourage came upon a bombed-out structure where two other squads of Argentine soldiers were milling about, none of whom stood at attention for the Spanish general. Against one of the remaining plaster facades of the ruined building, several dozen Africans were bound by the wrists and ankles with zip-ties. <br/><br/>""Ta-da!"" Cagnolo announced, gesturing to the weary-eyed captives with a flourish of the hands. ""Forty three enemy soldiers.""<br/><br/>The General approached the captured fighters and inspected them. They were a people with coffee-colored skin. Their faces were long and gaunt - almost gnathic, their hair was as knappy and wild as it was long though they were all were devoid of any facial hair. Unlike the sambo-esque stereotype of Subsaharans that prevailed in Spain, these men had thin noses. These were Afar, not Ethiopians; and as far as Ponferrada was concerned, they were barely human - more like rats than anything.<br/><br/>""They're not Ethiopian regulars,"" Ponferrada concluded. That much was apparent just by their dress. From what Ponferrada had seen of enemy soldiers killed on the battlefield, the Ethiopian army did not seem able to properly outfit their soldiers. Even so, their commanders tried to establish a standard uniform for their fighters. These people had been captured in their traditional robes or whatever else was comfortable to wear in this detestable heat. ""They look local.""<br/><br/>""Same difference,"" Cagnolo contested. ""Caught these ones trying to ambush fuel trucks coming in from the sea, they use the same guns the Ethiopians do. I figure the enemy gave the locals a bunch of gear before they buggered off, hoping guys like these would cause mischief behind your lines."" Cagnola playfully slapped the temple of an Afar fighter who didn't look to be any older than sixteen. ""Guess going up against real soldiers didn't figure into the equation.""<br/><br/>""So then, General, what would you have us do with them?""<br/><br/>""I intend to make an example of them,"" said Ponferrada. ""Open the crate.""<br/><br/>One of the Spaniards took a crowbar to the grunting crate and pried off the airhole-riddled top. Inside, rooting about in a thin bed of straw and filth, was a young pink hog mottled with several black spots. The pig yelped as the Spaniard seized it in his arms, drawing perplexed stares from the Argentines along with worried Afar eyes.<br/><br/>One of the Spaniards said something to the the Afar captives in Amharic - thereby identifying himself as one of the handful of Amharic interpreters available to the Spanish Ejercito. The Spanish had few interpreters capable of speaking the exotic language of Ethiopia, most of those few were embedded throughout the Pan-African Empire as part of the Spanish spy network. And though the Spanish armed forces were mostly uninterested with what their enemy had to say, General Ponferrada had a handful of interpreters available to him for interrogation and similar purposes.<br/><br/>""I am Victor Ponferrada, know my name and despair, because I have come to bring justice to this backward place,"" he said to the Afar captives, giving his interpreter a brief moment to transmit his Castillian to Amharic. He heard his name spoken between strings of unintelligible Amharic syllables and continued.<br/><br/>""Let me speak plainly: for your transgressions against my soldiers, I have elected to destroy you and make an example of your transgressions. But you will find no solace in the beyond. The enormity of your sins will bar your entry from cherished Jannah."" Ponferrada gestured for the Spaniard holding the wriggling pig in his arms to come forward.<br/><br/>""In your Koran, is it not written that those who have touched the flesh of the swine, those who have felt its blood have committed a heinous crime in the eyes of your Prophet? Those who have been stained by its uncleanliness should only expect damnation. For your crimes, you have all been so damned."" <br/> <br/>Ponferrada pointed to the ground, instructing his orderly to hold the pig down on the ground as he took a bayonet-fixed rifle from the arms of one of the Argentines. With a grimace of determination, the general placed his boot down against the hog's head and plunged the bayonet into the hog's back. The Afar began to struggle furiously against their binds as Ponferrada repeatedly plunged the bayonet into the squealing animal. With a deft stab through the neck, he finally silenced its squeals. A thick pool of bloody mud had formed around the quivering carcass, through which Ponferrada dredged the bayonet edge.<br/><br/>""Ensure each one gets his share of swine,"" the general instructed as he made his way to the wall. There the Afar were flailing and writhing against their bindings in a futile bid to escape. One had tried desperately to inch away from the impending slaughter, but he did not get remotely far enough before Ponferrada descended upon him. A deft jab of the bloodied bayonet into the captive's back brought his struggle to an end. A dozen of the Argentine soldiers sullied their own bayonets in the pig carcass before issuing the rest of the executions. The lamentations of the Afar captives were silenced one by one.<br/><br/>Ponferrada had watched as two of the Afar inched on their stomachs away from the massacre, but did nothing to stop them. Even as they ground their way to the corner of the building and ground their zip tie bindings furiously against the jagged edge of broken plaster, Ponferrada watched idly as the pair attempted their escape. The Argentine soldiers, too busy with the other captives, had seemingly missed them. When one of them escaped from their binds and sprinted away into the desert, the soldiers finally seemed to notice.<br/><br/>""Shit, they're getting away!""<br/><br/>""Just drop them already,"" Lieutenant Cagnolo commanded. Several Argentine soldiers leveled their blood-drenched rifles at the escaping Afar and made ready to fire upon them. Ponferrada calmly tipped the barrels of their rifles aside.<br/><br/>""Let them go,"" the General ordered, watching the two escapees flee into the desert for their very souls.<br/><br/>""General Ponferrada, if they escape-"" <br/><br/>""They'll tell their countrymen what happened here? I'm counting on it. Every fighter in league with the Ethiopians will know what took place here. And they will understand that there will be no martyrs in this war.""<br/></div>"
22196,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-11-12 02:47:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Boston</span><br/><br/>The Boston Hall of Records sat right in the middle of Charlestown. The mid-afternoon sun in the sky cast a shadow on the building thanks to the tall obelisk that next door to the building. The large monument was erected and dedicated to those that fought and died in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Elliot Shaw watched traffic that drove past the Hall from his car. He looked for any signs that he'd been followed on his route here.<br/><br/>Jane Wilson was still at Helena's apartment with Helena herself watching overt the girl. He hated leaving the two of them alone, but after Helena's bombshell he had to confirm what she told him. He carried a single paper from Jane's cache of incriminating documents. When he was satisfied, Elliot stepped out into the street and went inside the Hall. <br/><br/>The antechamber just inside the front door had a receptionist at a desk. The young woman pointed him towards the land transactions section near the back of the main room. Through the antechamber he came out into a long, wide room that looked like a library. Instead of a wide selection of books, every item on the shelf was a large, thick leather bound book. It was big because the Hall was one of the oldest such buildings in America. It held copies of records dating back to the early 1600's when the city was founded. He was one of a dozen or so people seeking information that day. After watching to make sure he wasn't being watched by any of his fellow researchers, he made a beeline for the land transfer records.<br/><br/>The records were listed chronologically starting at 1630 and going all the way up to last week. Shaw found all the books for late 1979 through early July 1980. All told it was six of the thick books. He managed to get his arms around all of them and carry them to a nearby table. Shaw took out a notepad and pencil along with the folded up paper in his jacket. The geological study Elliot hadn't bothered to really read had been read thoroughly by Helena and explained to him in detail by her. He was a good cop, but he'd never been to college and didn't know much that wasn't covered outside of high school. By contrast, Helena was going to BU Med to be a doctor. The call girl shtick was putting her through med school. <br/><br/>Elliot went through the ledgers in search of records containing the land mentioned on the sheet. He found it slowly but surely. A corporation named Bunker Hill Land Management had been buying up  land in and around the Boston marshes for pennies on the dollar. It made sense since the land was still swampy. What confirmed Helena's explanation was the size of the land purchases. The proposed land development outlined in the memos Jane stole had been bought by South Boston Construction, Big Jim Dwyer's construction firm. All but the land bought by Bunker Hill was owned by SBC. Bunker Hill had to be Dwyer and Liam Kane's company, used to undercut SBC and the other big investors buying into the marsh development deal. Elliot couldn't figure out exactly why Kane and Dwyer wanted to sabotage the development deal until Helena brought the survey back up.<br/><br/>In the process of examining the marshes for construction feasibility, the geological study had discovered something big just below the surface. A massive pocket of petroleum rested down under the marshes. That was why Kane and Dwyer wanted to fuck over their partners and buy up the land themselves. Why make a million dollars on construction deal when you could make a hundred million dollars selling it all to Dixon Oil? Big money was at stake here, bigger than Elliot could fathom. It was so much money that it was worth snuffing out a quasi-hooker and Mick PI. <br/><br/>He quickly put the books back up and headed outside. He found a pay phone down the block from the Hall and dialed Helena's number. There was no answer from her phone. He dialed again and waited five more minutes. Cursing, Elliot hung the phone up and ran towards his car. He felt his heart racing as he sped off and hurried towards Helena's place.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Vancouver</span><br/><br/>Mark Echols hobbled through the crime scene. Crime scene tape had the street blocked off while uniformed police officers kept traffic diverted from the area. A small army of technicians covered the crime scene looking for clues. A medical examiner took photos of the body laid out in the backseat of the taxi cab.<br/><br/>In Echols' hands was the note found beside the body of Peter Leigh, leader of the territory's legislature. The note was inside a plastic bag to preserve any evidence or fingerprints on the surface. The lab had managed to lift a right index finger off the paper and were running it to the crime lab as quick as possible. While the note was spattered in Leigh's blood, it was perfectly legible:<br/><br/>Death to traitors. The price for collaboration is death. Soon we will reap the seeds of discontent that were sewn during the war. Long live the Northwest Coalition.<br/>-- The Friends. <br/><br/>After months of minor crimes and bombings that resulted in no casualties, the Friends had taken their first life and it was a big one. The US government was already foaming at the mouth to get these people, now assassinating a government official would kick it into overdrive. Echols knew just how bad they wanted the Friends. They dispatched a special forces team to deal with the terrorist. Echols' fed partner Simpson tried to track down the man Echols knew as Crystal but was stonewalled by the Army.<br/><br/>Officially, a man known as Master Sergeant Silas Crystal served at Fort Bragg in North Carolina as a drill sergeant. He was on leave to his hometown back in Texas to deal with a sickly family member. No, the Army had no way of contacting him and would not worry about it until he was due to report back to duty whenever that was.<br/><br/>He thought back to the night he met Crystal. The waning days of the war, when the Eighth Army Group was pushing through NWC/Canadian territory towards Vancouver. The gassing of Seattle tore the fledgling country in two, Echols siding with the side against the gassing. He and a group of four MPs rendezvoused near Surrey with an A-Team of Army Rangers led by Crystal. The Rangers were gathering intelligence and laying down the groundwork for a full-on invasion of Vancouver. The mission went sideways and Echols lost his kneecap after a grenade exploded beside him. He would have lost more than that if not for the gruff Ranger pushing him out the way just in time. Echols passed out and woke up in a daze the next day, in a US infirmary with the news that the invasion was on. He never saw Crystal or his group of soldiers again...<br/><br/>Until the other day when he saw Crystal fleeing from a place where a weapons dealer who worked for the Friends was supposed to be but wasn't. Echols eyed the letter again, looking at the taxi and then back at the letter. Crystal, the terrorists, the missing Reg Boland, even the dead Army sergeant Brian Shea. It was all connected. Echols could feel the threads of inference tieing them all together into one case, one giant spiderweb he was tangled in. <br/><br/>""Inspector,"" one of the uniformed cops said as he came under the crime tape. ""The uniformed canvas turned up something. Apparently, Leigh left a nearby hotel with a redhead on his arm. Eyewitnesses say she was a total knockout. Hooker?""<br/><br/>""Could explain why she's not here,"" said Echols. ""Afraid of getting in trouble. But what about the taxi driver? Where did he go?""<br/><br/>One word played in Echols' brain. Bait. Leigh had a reputation as a womanizer and a boozer. A honeytrap at the right time and place would leave him wide open. A quick search of stolen cars would reveal the cab had been stolen within the last few days. He played it through his mind. Get Leigh drunk and promise him sex, get him in a cab and ambush him. <br/><br/>""Inspector,"" a crime tech called from the car. ""We got a print on the steering wheel. Doesn't match the others...""<br/><br/>""Rush it back to headquarters,"" he ordered. ""Priority analyst, along with that other print we recovered. It's to be run it through all our criminal, civlian, and military records.""<br/><br/>""Now?""<br/><br/>""Now, goddammit,"" Echols snapped.<br/><br/>For the first time he was aware that the investigation was becoming a race. Whatever Crystal was doing in Vancouver, he was not bound by the same rules and regulations as Echols. The Rangers could be several steps ahead of him and preparing to close in on whoever these people were. He had to beat them and stop the Friends before whatever they were planning came next.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>The thing on Arthur Stewart's bench didn't look like much. Wires were strewn across the surface, wires that soldered to a circuit board. To Arthur's right was the small crate with the biohazard sign on it. He'd opened the crate just one to look inside. The dull gray canister betrayed the deadliness of the contents inside. The new device he created for the nerve gas would work via radio controls. The circuit board and wires would activate the pinhole openings inside the canister and let the VX seep out into the open air.<br/><br/>Arthur sighed and put down his soldering iron. He kept seeing Peter Leigh's dead body every time he closed his eyes. His blood was up when he committed the deed, and now a few days removed he felt a sense of numbness. He'd taken a life that night. Peter Leigh was a horrible person and a traitor, but who was Arthur to decide his death? Who were Alex or the rest of the Friends for that matter? Did Leigh truly deserve to die?<br/><br/>""Hey, guy.""<br/><br/>Arthur looked up at the basement stairs. Chris was coming down into Arthur's work area with two cans of beer in his hands. He tossed on Arthur's way and popped his own top, pulling up a stool to sit beside the work bench. Arthur popped his own can and took a sip of the beer.<br/><br/>""Alex wanted me to come down here and talk to you. He says you've been acting in a funk lately. I think I know why.""<br/><br/>""Enlighten me.""<br/><br/>""What you did the other night. You did something that you can't go back from.""<br/><br/>Arthur nodded and took another sip of his beer. Chris' eyes wandered towards his work bench. He took a few big gulps of beer and nodded towards the wires and circuits.<br/><br/>""What we do next is going to be what happened with Leigh times a thousand. It's only natural for you have doubts. But I need to know you're going to be able to see it through.""<br/><br/>""It's just... the people. This is going to kill so many people and I'm not sure if I can handle that many innocent people.""<br/><br/>Chris finished off his beer and crushed the man with his bare hands, tossing it behind his back and onto the concrete floor. ""I don't talk about this much, but I served in the war. I was a private in the NWC Army and stayed loyal right until the end. I saw plenty of innocent people die in the crossfire. After Seattle, the US Army didn't give a shit about innocent people.""<br/><br/>""They used this on Seattle and they took our country. If we do this now, what will they take?""<br/><br/>""What's left to take?"" Chris asked, taking Arthur's mostly full beer and drinking it himself. ""There's no land to conquer or no armies to surrender. There's nothing but ideas now. And they can kill us, they can kill half of Vancouver, but they can't kill ideas. This is a war, Artie, a war that we didn't start and we didn't ask for but we got anyway. And if we want to win this war we gotta do whatever it takes, this is part of that.""<br/><br/>Chris stared intently at Arthur with unblinking angry eyes. He kept staring as he finished the second beer and crushed the can as easily as he crushed the last one.<br/><br/>""We've gone too far to go back now, Artie. <span class=""bb-i"">You've</span> come too far. Either you're with us or you're against us. Understand?""<br/><br/>Arthur understood Chris' visit down here now. Joanna was the carrot and Chris was the stick. They'd been using the carrot so long and it hadn't proved a good enough incentive. Now, Chris with his big frame and hard stare was laying it out in no uncertain terms.<br/><br/>""I understand,"" Arthur whispered. ""Perfectly.""<br/><br/>""Good.""<br/><br/>Chris' large hand slapped Arthur on the shoulder. His hostile look was gone, replaced by a wide grin and a playful laugh.<br/><br/>""Good to hear it. I need to go sleep it off, so don't let me keep you from getting back to work.""<br/><br/>Chris went back up the stairs, pausing just once to look back at him before disappearing back into the house. Arthur turned back to his unfinished device and stared down at it. For the first time since joining the Friends, he was having doubts. The way in which Chris went from friendly to angry and back again unnerved him. It made him wonder just what was real with these people? Was Alex's friendly nature a front? What about Joanna's love? If she was the carrot, was she acting as one on her own accord or under orders?<br/><br/>Arthur wiped a small bead of sweat dripping from his hairline and picked up his soldering iron. Chris was right about one thing, he was in too deep to pull out now. If he wanted to live, he had to complete the delivery system for the VX. The Friends promised upheaval and death to traitors, and they were forcing Arthur to uphold that promise.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Natchez, Mississippi</span><br/><br/>""Denied.""<br/><br/>James Calhoun furrowed his brow at Alex Miller. The banker shrugged at him and shuffled James' loan application into the trash can beside his desk. They were in Miller's corner office on the second floor of the Natchez Savings &amp; Loans. James struggled to find the words while Miller went about straightening other things on his desk and not meeting James' eye.<br/><br/>""Why, Mr. Miller?"" He finally managed to ask. ""For twenty years you haven't had a problem with approving the loan.""<br/><br/>""That was then and this is now.""<br/><br/>James leaned forward and put his arms on the desk. ""You know I need that money. We still got a couple of months before the harvest can come in and that money is gonna see me and my family through. I always pay it back with interest, sir. Have been for twenty years now.""<br/><br/>Miller sniffed and shook his head impassively. ""If you really cared about that farm, Mr. Calhoun--"" Not James like had been for years and years-- ""You'd be working it and not running around the country demonstrating, getting people all riled up.""<br/><br/>James felt his stomach go cold, as cold as the stare Miller was giving him at that moment. So that was it then. He knew something like this would be coming, but he expected it from the rednecks and peckerwoods. Alex Miller was well-educated and was very friendly to the negro community in Adams County. His bank helped many black families down on their luck with low-interest loans they were patient on calling on.<br/><br/>""So that's it, Mr. Miller?"" James asked. ""I'm a trouble maker? I don't know my place.""<br/><br/>""Uppity. That's the word they've been using around town, Mr. Calhoun.""<br/><br/>James stood and looked down at the man he considered something resembling a friend for so long. Now he saw him for what he was: Just another racist white man who saw anything like equality as a threat to white dominance of the South.<br/><br/>""'Know your place',"" James said softly. ""That's the motto of the White South when it comes to us. When you all were in danger of losing your slaves and property, you sure as hell didn't know your place. You resisted and rebelled and said it was your god given right to protest and disagree. So where is my god given right to protest, Mr. Miller? All men are created equal, isn't that what this country is founded upon? But my 'place' is subservient to white people, no rights and no chance to vote to change that fact.""<br/><br/>""Leave,"" Miller said quickly. ""Right now before I call the sheriff's department and they finish where they left off with your jaw.""<br/><br/>James stalked out the office and the bank in a huff. He came out onto the sidewalk in downtown Natchez. Not a lot of traffic on the mid-afternoon street, but the people that were there were staring at him. Angry, hostile, white eyes focused on him. Every other business on the street except the bank had their 'Whites Only, Colored Entrance in Rear' signs displayed prominently by the front door. James put his hands in his pockets to hide his balled-up fist and walked down the street towards his truck. The sound of an idling engine made him stop and turn around. A dirty white pick-up truck slowly cruised down the street behind him. Two mean looking white boys sat in the cab, eyeballing James. The front license plate of the truck had stars and bars Confederate Flag mounted on it. <br/><br/>He stared straight ahead and met the boys' stares head on. He didn't show anger or fear, just boredom as they passed by. The driver of the truck rolled down the window and spat, a glob of brown tobacco juice landing right in front of James' boots. Still he held his ground and watched the truck go on past. One of them yelled 'jigaboo' in a thick Mississippi drawl as the truck sped off down the street. His own pick-up truck had been vandalized while he was in the back. The front window was cracked near the middle and long tendrils of fractured glass spread across the windshield. Someone had scratched the words NIGER NO YOU'RE PLACE down the driver's side. The fucking crackers couldn't even spell the word right.<br/><br/>These people with their hateful hearts and their ignorance. These people who got liquored up and beat their wives and kids and raped and murdered and lynched black people by the dozens these... fucking animals. All his life he'd been taught that they were superior to him in every other way, they were smarter and knew better and were more moral and could do things he could never do. He was taught to never look a white woman in the eye and never under any circumstances say anything but ""suh"" to a white man, didn't matter if he was eight or eighty. He and every other black person across the South had been taught that they were not equals not overtly, but whenever the sheriff of Adams County dealt with a negro killing he never serious investigated it, the registrars at the Adams County voter's office used every trick in the book to deny them the right to vote.<br/><br/>And now that James was trying to make a stand all that covert racism was swept away in place of out and out intimidation and threats of violence. They threatened his livelihood, his family's safety, and even his own life. James turned away from the truck and looked back towards downtown. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted to do <span class=""bb-i"">something</span>. Anything. But... he couldn't. Crying would show them that they were winning, anger would give them an excuse to arrest him or kill him outright. He could take their provocation, he knew he could. The movement was growing day by day, both blacks and whites were coming to their side. He could not act rash or do anything that might jeopardize the movement here in Mississippi. <br/><br/>These white people were on the wrong side of history just as they had been over a hundred and fifty years ago. It took a war to prove them wrong, and if it took a war to prove them wrong again so be it. There were more than a few white eyes still watching James as he got into his truck and headed back home to his farm. He knew they thought they had won some victory today and taught him a lesson. They were partially right. He'd learned a lesson about how far they would go to keep James and his people down, but the victory was his because he knew how to take the fight right back to them.<br/> <br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chicago</span><br/><br/>Nate Parker slipped the headphones off his ears and sighed. The conversation in the headphones kept going but he stopped listening. He took out a pack of cigarettes and his lighter. He smoked in silence while the two voices kept talking. He knew the two men talking and he knew what they were saying. It was the same thing they always talked about.<br/><br/>Nate hated his job. It wouldn't be so bad if he did something worth a damn, but his current assignment was a horrible one. The entire eighteenth floor of the Murray Building in downtown Chicago served as the midwestern headquarters for the Federal Crime Bureau. There were other smaller offices in adjacent states, but the chain of command ran from Washington to Chicago down to those offices. The eighteenth floor buzzed with investigations into kidnapping, bank robbery, racketeering, and domestic terrorism. All those things were part of the FCB's mandate.<br/><br/>And what was Nate doing? Sitting in a moldy backroom transcribing a conversation from a wiretap. Ever since the country's political realignment away from socialism, the FCB made investigation into radical and subversive ideas a top priority. That was why they were working hard to crack down on the violence going on in Vancouver. It was also why the FCB had a network of sub rosa wiretaps installed across the country. It was also why they were illegally surveilling the burgeoning civil rights movement happening in the south.<br/><br/>Sidney Siegel and Anthony Rosenbaum were members of the Chicago Communist Party, Siegel serving as president and Rosenbaum as secretary. As of January 1 1980, the Party in Chicago had a whopping fifteen registered members. The two men spoke on the phone every few days about the direction of the party. It always ended with them getting drunk and maudlin and decrying the state of politics in America today. The nation's pivot towards socialism was part of the Marxist theory. Pure communism was to follow after the socialist turn... but it never came. Their revolution had been denied and the forces of reaction and capitalism had taken the country back. <br/><br/>Nate hated listening to their talks. They were sob sisters if the word ever existed, but they were harmless. They weren't plotting insurrection or mass violence. They got drunk and cried to each other. Nate wasn't sure what disgusted him more, their pathetic weeping or the fact the Bureau considered this a priority. Guys like Bobby Colosimo filled the midwest with drugs and destroyed lives in the name of profit, but to the FCB guys like Siegel and Rosenbaum were the real terrorists. He'd give anything to go after guys like Bobby C., either the mob or go out west and work on finding those radicals in Vancouver. Real bad guys and not imaginary ones the Bureau dreamed up. <br/><br/>He finished his cigarette and stubbed it out on the ashtray on his desk. He knew why he was in the backroom and not out in the field. As the country purged any socialist influences, they also purged socialist leanings. Nate was what they called a bleeding heart liberal and in the new order of the country, he didn't fit. Plenty of agents with questionable views had been forced to resign or sent to shit locations and assignments like Nate's. As bad as things were, he was at least in Chicago. Something might happen that would get him out of the backroom. The Bureau had a memory, but it wasn't a long one. They were chewing, but they'd spit him back out eventually. <br/><br/>Nate picked the headphones back up and slipped them on. Rosenbaum was in the middle of a drunken rant about the contradictions and hypocrisies of the country's sacred founding fathers and how these bigoted, wealthy bourgeoises were seen as beacons of liberty. He finished his work transcribing the conversation and writing up an accompanying report. He submitted the papers to his supervisor's inbox and headed for the elevator. Most of the eighteenth floor was busy was some activity or another, reminding Nate just how much he was missing out on. <br/><br/>He slipped into a bar two blocks away from the Murray Building and got a beer. He and his wife divorced three years ago, their only daughter away at Northwestern studying pre-law. She was following in Nate's footsteps by getting a law degree. There was nobody for him to go home to, nothing to do but get drunk and sleep it off before he had to show up to work the next day.<br/><br/>Part of the reason his marriage collapsed was because of the job. Edith wanted Nate to leave the FCB and practice law. She knew about his desire to help people and correct wrongs, something he could never really do as a federal agent. Nate still refused to leave the job and Mara lost her patience with him. He knew she was right. Nate stood at the bar with his beer and said a silent prayer for the two communists and their hopeless quest. He was a practicing catholic, something else that didn't fit in with the country's new day, and he believed firmly in the church's dogma. His current situation was purgatory, a temporary way station until whatever came next. There was a good chance it would be hell, but he still held out hope it'd be paradise.</div>"
22197,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-11-14 08:48:00,Morden Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Mitcham, London</span><br/><br/>The alarm clock beside Ray Newman’s bed sounded and shook Newman from his sleep. It was five-thirty in the morning. His eyes opened and he wiped at them with one of his hands before sitting upright. Newman’s bed was a mattress on the middle of the floor of his small, empty flat. He’d been meaning to buy a bedframe for a while but there was still a part of him that hoped Yvette might take him back. The rest of Newman knew that wasn’t going to happen. She’d moved on. He on the other hand had thrown himself into his work more than ever before. He’d never bothered to decorate the place because he only came back here to sleep. When he wasn’t sleeping he was out on those streets, at the station, or in a pub somewhere drowning his sorrows. Every two weeks his dart met and Ray would pretend to have a life. He’d tell stories about wild nights out with friends where he’d ended up sleeping with a girl half his age. None of them were true. The truth of it was that outside of his work Ray had nothing. Sat there on his mattress in a stained vest and a pair of too tight briefs that was clearer than ever before.<br/><br/>He wanted to go back to sleep but his body was used to waking up this early to prepare for work. He could drink until he could barely stand but every morning without fail Ray Newman would be up before six. The alarm was a precaution. Finally Newman’s stomach rumbled loudly and he pushed himself to his feet and made his way across his flat to the fridge. It was empty but for a few beers and a half-eaten pack of ham that he’d opened a week before. Newman lifted the beers out of the fridge, balancing the ham on top of it, and carried it back over to his mattress. He popped open a can and took a hearty mouthful of beer in his mouth. He sighed with contentment upon swallowing it and pulled a piece of ham free from the packet. He sniffed it once, curled up his nose slightly, and then scarfed it down anyway with a shrug of his shoulders.<br/><br/>There beside him was a remote control to a television in the corner of his room. It was old, Newman had picked it up at a charity shop around the corner, but it seemed to work well enough as long as you didn’t mind black and white television. The television sat atop a pair of stepladders that Newman had brought with him from the old house. He used the remote to turn the television on and smiled warmly as he saw the scenes on the news from Liverpool, Manchester, Cornwall, Belfast, Edinburgh, and <span class=""bb-i"">even</span> Sheffield of hundreds of police officers lining the streets. This is what Britain needed. Not half-hearted “Voluntary” Repatriation Bills but a real show of force. Newman chuckled as he saw some coloured getting cracked over the head with a baton by a police officer in Bradford.<br/><br/>Then something caught his attention. Footsteps to begin with. The walls in this crappy building were so thin you could hear it whenever someone moved in the corridors outside. The footsteps were slight, like someone trying not to be heard, but Newman heard them all the same. A shadow appeared through the slit underneath the door to Newman’s flat and Ray reached for the knife he kept beside his mattress. Slowly a piece of paper slid beneath Newman’s door and the shadow disappeared.<br/><br/>Newman held the knife by his side as he waddled across his flat in his underwear towards the piece of paper that had been delivered. On the front of it was a Union Flag with the letters “NF” in the centre of it within a white circle. <span class=""bb-i"">National Front</span> it read at the top and beneath were the details of a public meeting that evening. The tagline to the public meeting was “Britain for the British” and someone by the name of Edgar Francis. Newman had never heard of the man or the National Front. He folded the leaflet and placed it atop the television with a sigh before returning to the mattress. He placed the knife down, turned up the television, and reached for another slice of out of date ham with a smirk.<br/><br/>It wasn’t like he had anything better to do that evening.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>It was eight o’clock and already Downing Street was abuzz with noise. The Prime Minister and his wife had left for Dorset first thing this morning and several other cabinet ministers were out at events of their own. Samuel Hobbs and Dominic Hewitt had been left to man the ship until Campbell returned. Hobbs took to the responsibility far more naturally than Hewitt and seemed in his element amongst the ever-increasing wall of noise. Phones rang endlessly and Downing Street staffers bustled around in a tizzy but Hobbs was an ocean of calm. At least until <span class=""bb-i"">more</span> bad news from South Africa had come through on the wire. The Geordie had spent the past twenty minutes berating the Secretary State of Defence for refusing to return to London in light of the news. The Defence Minister was one of Thomas Moore’s men and was as committed to passively undermining Fraser Campbell’s authority at every turn. It wasn’t until Hobbs threatened to reveal the minister's second family to his wife that he finally agreed.<br/><br/>Hobbs slammed the phone down and Dominic Hewitt looked at him with a bemused smile. “I’m going for a cigarette.”<br/><br/>The well-groomed young Press Officer sauntered out of the room and left Hobbs on his own. Hobbs was still breathing heavily as he eyed the phone he'd slammed down. It had been a busy week for the government and Hobbs had been worked to the bone. Worse of all, he’d had to put up with Thomas Moore’s smug face everywhere he looked ever since Oldfield’s murder had been announced. The Home Secretary never wasted a crisis, no matter how pressing, and he’d certainly made the most of this one. Hobbs would have admired it if Moore wasn’t always such a self-satisfied twat.<br/><br/>Across the room on Dominic Hewitt’s desk a phone rang. Hobbs sighed and lifted the receiver of the phone to his face. “What? What the fuck do you want?”<br/><br/>On the other end was a grave voice that Hobbs didn’t recognise. He could tell from the tone of the voice that it belonged to a police officer. Long before Hobbs was Fraser Campbell’s Director of Communications he’d been a working-class boy from Newcastle. He knew how to spot a police officer from a mile away and he knew what they sounded like. The man asked to be put through to the Prime Minister and Hobbs shook his head.<br/><br/>“No, the PM's in Bournemouth at the moment,” Hobbs said as he stared out at Hewitt smoking in the garden. “Who am I speaking to?”<br/><br/>It was the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service. Hobbs listened in silence as the Commissioner described a vicious attack on an old coloured man in Brixton the morning after PC James Oldfield had been killed. His face soured as he learned the murder had taken place hours after the Prime Minister had gone on live television and called for peace on Britain’s streets. The government’s week had gone from bad to worse. In conjunction with South Africa and Oldfield’s murder this was the kind of thing that could bring governments down. He spotted Hewitt in the garden chatting with a pretty Downing Street staffer and gritted his teeth.<br/><br/>“You have to bury this in a whole so deep no one on Earth will ever find it. Do you hear me? No one can know about it. If you don’t make this thing go away we could have race riots on our hands. You do <span class=""bb-i"">whatever</span> you need to do to make this thing go away at least until things have cooled down. This is non-fucking-negotiable. The Prime Minister needs this swept under the largest, heaviest rug that the Metropolitan Police Service has at its disposal.”<br/><br/>He would be damned if the entire government was going to collapse on his watch. Hobbs had come too far and worked too hard for that. His father and his father’s father had been welders. Samuel Hobbs was the first member of his family to <span class=""bb-i"">ever</span> attend university and now he had the ear of one of the most powerful men in Britain. His family had lived through the Troubles, they’d it when so many in Newcastle had been devoured by it, and that journey wasn’t about to come to an end because of one old man in Brixton. <br/><br/>He caught the end of a question leave the Commissioner’s mouth and as if by instinct Hobbs blurted out. “Yes, I <span class=""bb-i"">am</span> speaking on behalf of the Prime Minister on this.”<br/><br/>The second the words had left his mouth his face had twisted with regret. Hobbs placed one of his pale hands against his mouth as he felt a cold sweat coming on. To the public Hobbs and the Prime Minister seemed as one but not even he had the authority to speak for Fraser Campbell. He wanted to take the words back but realised he was past the point of no return. His hand shook violently as he reached for the edge of the table in front of him to calm his shakes. On the other side of the phone the Commissioner asked who he was speaking to.<br/><br/>Hewitt waved up at Hobbs from the Downing Street garden and Hobbs found himself mouthing the young Press Officer's name before he knew what was happening. <br/><br/>“Dominic Hewitt.”<br/><br/>The Commissioner assured Hobbs that the brakes could be hit on the murder investigation and intimated that the Met would want something in return. Hobbs had done this song and dance a million times before. He assured the Commissioner that the Prime Minister would remember the favour the Metropolitan Police had done him come the next round of spending and the Commissioner seemed pleased enough at that. In the garden Hewitt flicked his cigarette to the ground and stubbed it out with his foot.  <br/><br/>“Oh, and is there any chance we could keep this conversation between the two of us? You know, for <span class=""bb-i"">security</span> purposes.”<br/><br/>Hobbs could hear the bemusement in the Commissioner’s voice at the request but he agreed. Hobbs said his goodbyes and pressed the phone down. He stood with his hand still resting over the phone and his eyes shut guiltily when he heard Hewitt enter the room again.<br/><br/>Hewitt smiled and pointed towards the phone. “Who was that?”<br/><br/>“Nothing,” Hobbs muttered solemnly as a half-hearted smile appeared on his face. “Fat Pat from the Treasury offering me another candlelight dinner followed by a soapy tit wank.”<br/><br/>The young Press Officer laughed and Hobbs felt a second wave of guilt hit him. Hewitt was <span class=""bb-i"">many</span> things but Hobbs would never wish misfortune on the young man. Yet moments before he’d thrown Hewitt’s entire career up in the air by using his name instead of his own. Hobbs tried to swallow to push the knot from his throat but it remained there. He smiled at Hewitt then reached for his own phone and dialled the number of Charlie Whitebread from the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span> with shaking fingers. He needed to shout at someone. <br/><br/>Shouting at someone would make this all seem okay.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>It was six hours after Keenan had arrived home last night that he'd found out about what had happened to Errol. Given that Errol wasn’t a blood relation of his he’d not been contacted by either the hospital or the police. He had to hear about it from the street. The man that had raised Keenan Gayle as his own was dead and Keenan was to last to find out about it. Apparently Errol had been attacked at a pub barely fifteen minutes from here. It turned Keenan’s stomach to imagine his surrogate father bleeding out on the floor of a pub alone. Even more so when he realised he’d driven past it not long after it happened. Were it not for Simone he’d be minded to do something about it. He’d spent all night fantasizing about tracking the people responsible down and murdering them until it dawned on him that Simone would be left on her own if he went through with it. That thought brought an abrupt end to his fantasies.<br/><br/>He let Simone sleep in that morning and called ahead to her school to tell them she wouldn’t be in. Keenan had no idea how to break the news to Simone. She was innocent and quick to cry at the best of times. Usually her “Uncle” Errol was there to make her laugh. This time Keenan would be on his own once the tears started. Uncle Errol was gone. There’d be no one there to stop Simone crying or to help Keenan with his reading. Keenan and Simone were on their own.<br/><br/>He’d made sure to cook his daughter’s favourite breakfast. Bacon, scrambled eggs, tinned spaghetti, mushrooms, and hash browns. It wasn’t exactly the healthiest meal for a nine year old girl to eat but Simone had acquired a taste for it after trying her father's breakfast one morning. She seemed confused upon waking up four hours later than usual but whatever curiosity it aroused disappeared quickly upon noticing her favourite breakfast on the table. Once she was done Keenan did the washing up and tried desperately to think of some way to tell his daughter about what had happened. After about ten minutes of unproductive thought he announced they’d be going to the cinema. At the very least the cinema would buy him more time to think.<br/><br/>They took Keenan’s old Vauxhall Viva down to the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton. They had passed the pub where Errol had been murdered on the way there and it had taken everything Keenan had not to break down. He’d gripped at his steering wheel so tightly that at one point his calloused hands cramped up whilst he was driving. He’d even had to pull over and take a moment. Now the father and daughter stood in the lobby of the Ritzy in front of several posters for films that were showing that afternoon. One in particular caught Simone’s interest. It was awash with reds, yellows, and blacks and there was a blonde-haired man in a tight red vest holding a golden sword.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">Flash Gordon</span>,” Keenan said as he pointed to the poster on the cinema wall. “What does it mean?”<br/><br/>Simone rolled her eyes at the comment. “It doesn’t <span class=""bb-i"">mean</span> anything. It’s his name, Dad.”<br/><br/>“I see,” Keenan said as he attempted to balance the large box of popcorn in his hands. “This is the one you want to see? Are you sure?”<br/><br/>Simone had insisted that they buy popcorn. Before they’d even chosen what film they were watching she had rushed towards the popcorn with beaming eyes. It brought a smile to his face to see his daughter so full of joy. She oohed and ahhed her way through Flash Gordon whilst munching on it. Even amidst all the bright colours and the flashy special effects Keenan could find no respite. His thoughts were <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> with Errol. Keenan thought about Errol’s daughter Honor and wondered whether the news had reached her yet. He had no idea where she was, neither had Errol, but he hoped she found out from a friend rather than reading it in a newspaper or hearing about it on the television.<br/><br/>As they left the cinema he’d knelt in front of Simone and prepared to break the news to her but the words didn’t come. Instead he'd cleaned a crumb of popcorn from her face and asked her what she wanted for tea. Each time he tried to tell her and failed it felt like a betrayal. It was sat in Wimpy whilst they ate that Keenan next convinced himself he was going to say something. <br/><br/>“You know, when I was little we still couldn’t get movies like that over here. We’d have to watch old black and white films about the Great War instead. Can you imagine that? Flash Gordon in black and white? That would have <span class=""bb-i"">really</span> been something.”<br/><br/>His daughter looked despondent as she chewed on her food. On her plate was Wimpy’s world-famous “Bender in a Bun” and a portion of chips. All the joy that Simone had displayed earlier seemed to have been sapped from her as pushed her chips around her plates with her fork.<br/><br/>Keenan frowned. “What’s wrong?”<br/><br/>“Where’s Uncle Errol, Dad?” Simone said as she looked up at Keenan. “Did something bad happen to him?”<br/> <br/>The words knocked him for six. Keenan looked down at his own food and pushed it around a little as he tried to formulate a response. It was in moments like these that Keenan remembered how young he was. He’d been sixteen when Simone was born and there were times when he <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> felt sixteen. Errol would have known what to say in this moment, he would have told Keenan was to say, but now he'd have to think for himself.<br/><br/>“Uncle Errol died yesterday afternoon. He was attacked on the way back from Brixton. Some bad people hurt him. They hurt him bad. The nurses and doctors couldn’t make him better again. So he died.”<br/><br/>Simone nodded dispassionately and then started to eat her food again. “Okay.”<br/><br/>“Okay?” Keenan’s eyes widened with shock. “That’s it? You don’t want to talk about it?”<br/><br/>His nine year old daughter opened her mouth wide, took a large bite out of her Bender in a Bun, and then set it back down on the plate. She covered her mouth with one of her small hands so as not to display her mouthful of food as she spoke. “It’s fine, Dad, I understand. Uncle Errol was old. He died. That’s what old people do.”<br/><br/>Keenan shook his head angrily as he played out how the attack had happened in his mind. “He didn’t die, Simone, he was killed. People killed him. <span class=""bb-i"">Bad</span> people. Uncle Errol would still be alive if those people hadn’t hurt him like that.”<br/><br/>Still Simone’s face remained expressionless as she chewed on her food. Keenan didn’t get his head around how his daughter had reacted. He watched the gears in his nine-year-old daughter’s mind whirring around as she ate her food and then finally opened her mouth to speak. Before the words had left it Keenan lifted his hand in the air and shook his head gently with a sigh.<br/><br/>His daughter look deflated by the gesture but Keenan shook his head again and then pointed to Simone’s plate. “Just eat your food, okay?”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Garrett's Green, Birmingham</span><br/><br/>Outside of Garrett’s Green Police Station was a group forty strong of students, academics, and intellectuals. At their centre was Honor Clarke. Clarke was wearing a Baja hoodie and cut-off denim shorts. A bandana bearing the Union Jack held back her thick black dreadlocks and they hung over the back of her hoodie. Birmingham had been one of the many cities across Britain that had seen a spike in police presence on their streets. It turned out that Honor hadn’t been the only one the police had targeted last night. Across the city there had been similar accounts of raids on people’s homes and arrests based on trumped up charges. It hadn’t taken much for Honor to rally a group together that wanted to send a message of their own. They sat with their arms interlocked in the middle of the road in front of the Police Station and sang protest songs at the top of their voices. It didn’t take long for it to provoke a response.<br/><br/>Between fifteen and twenty West Midlands Police officers appeared from within the station. Most were clad in ordinary black police uniforms and unarmed but Honor spotted several with batons and pepper spray primed for use. As they approached Honor and her crowd of peaceful protestors one of the police officers trotted out ahead of the group. They group booed at his approach and the officer’s face turned red with embarrassment.<br/><br/>“We’re asking you nicely,” Officer Johns said with a smile. “Please disperse.”<br/><br/>From the crowd an elderly white woman shouted towards him. “We aren’t going to do that.”<br/><br/>Johns sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then looked back towards the group with eyes that were thick with exasperation. “Disperse or we’ll <span class=""bb-i"">make</span> you disperse.”<br/><br/>“We shall not,” Honor sang at the top of her voice as she looked to the other members of the group. “We shall not be moved.”<br/><br/>The other protestors joined her in song and the young officer shook his head and gestured to the large group of his colleagues towards the protestors. The police officers approached, some drawing their batons and others reaching for pepper spray, and Honor squeezed the young woman next to her whose harms were locked with hers. An elderly white professor reminded the group to remain calm and peaceful so as not to give the officers an excuse and then rejoined the group in song. Their voices grew in strength as the West Midlands Police officers drew down on them with their weapons drawn.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Westbourne, Bournemouth</span><br/><br/>The veteran’s home burst into applause as Fraser Campbell's name was read out. The Prime Minister stood up from his seat, planted a kiss on his wife Joyce’s cheek, and walked up to the stage with a warm smile to the crowd. It was the sixtieth anniversary of the last stand of the Westbourne Hundred. During the height of the Troubles the city of Bournemouth had resisted the allure of the anarchists even when all those around it had surrendered. When the anarchists finally launched a full scale offensive on it a hundred men set up shop in an old school building in Westbourne and resisted thousands of anarchists for four straight days. It was one of many feats of bravery from loyalists in the South during the course of the Troubles but this one especially had captured the imagination of the British people. <br/><br/>Joyce Campbell had convinced her husband to attend the sixtieth anniversary service to bolster his popularity amidst all that was happened that week. He had agreed on condition that she come with him and help him plan his speech. She sat in the front row looking radiant in a light pink dress. Fraser gestured to the crowd to bring an end to their applause and they did so dutifully to allow him to speak. <br/><br/>“It’s an absolute pleasure to be here in Westbourne. Our great country owes a <span class=""bb-i"">profound</span> debt of gratitude to the people of Westbourne, Bournemouth, and Dorset as a whole for its sacrifice during the Troubles. To put it bluntly there would be no Great Britain were it not for the fighting spirit of Dorset and the resolve it showed under <span class=""bb-i"">indescribable</span> pressure. It’s only right then that we come together today to mark the sacrifice of the Westbourne Hundred and all those that gave their lives to restore peace and sanity to our nation.”<br/><br/>The room burst into spontaneous applause and Fraser smiled modestly and pushed his thick lenses glasses further up his nose. In the crowd were the children and grandchildren of the Westbourne Hundred. They were young and old, rich and poor, but overwhelmingly white. Fraser noticed that most of all as he moved to speak once more. His wife smiled at him supportively and Fraser felt his heart swell with pride.<br/><br/>There was a long standing ovation once the Prime Minister finished speaking and Joyce joined him on stage for a few moments. Fraser placed a gentle kiss on his wife’s cheek and they waved to the people in the packed room. For a second Fraser forgot all about the mess in South Africa, repatriations, and murdered policemen as he stared out into the crowd. <br/><br/>Joyce leant into him and whispered. “<span class=""bb-i"">Someone</span> has a spring in their step this morning.”<br/><br/>He smiled and led her down from the stage by the hand. The Prime Minister’s staffers and security staff formed a waiting cavalcade but Fraser gestured them away for a few seconds. He led Joyce into the crowd and shook a few hands before an insistent staffer lead the Prime Minister away from the crowd. The muscle-bound men in black suits that made up the Prime Minister’s security team lead Campbell out of the building and towards the exit. They passed through the front doors to where a black Rolls Royce awaited the Prime Minister and his wife.<br/><br/>“Prime Minister,” a voice called from behind them. “Excuse me, Prime Minister, a word if you would.”<br/><br/>Fraser looked over his shoulder and spotted an elderly white man approaching him from within the veteran’s home. “I’m sorry, sir, we <span class=""bb-i"">really</span> have to get going.”<br/><br/>The Prime Minister’s security team moved towards the man and within seconds he had several pairs of hands on him. From within their hands he managed to shout to Campbell. “It’s about the Voluntary Repatriation Bill.”<br/><br/>Fraser stopped in his tracks and then gestured to his security team to let the man loose. He apologized to him and then let a sigh slip through his lips. He’d grown sick of defending a policy that he hated with every inch of his body and that the Palace had forced on him. He tried to silently formulate some defence for repatriating British citizens. There was no defence for it. Yet the Palace had demanded it and the Palace <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> got what it wanted. That much had been made clear to Fraser the day he’d been appointed. He wanted to savage the policy but he knew that wasn’t an option. Fraser could never do anything in public that might tip his hand to the cause he'd kept hidden for decades.<br/><br/>Fraser swallowed his pride, apologized again to the man for his having been manhandled, and turned to the issue he'd raised. “Listen, I understand that people are going to feel <span class=""bb-i"">very</span> strongly on the issue of repatriation but I don’t think it’s the time or the place for a discussion about it. We’re here to commemorate the sacrifice of the Westbourne Hundred.”<br/><br/>“Oh no, it’s nothing like that,” the old man said with a shake of his head. “I just want to thank you, Prime Minister, for having the bravery to do the right thing. The South didn't fight and die for the Crown during the Troubles to see our country overrun by coloureds. It’s good to <span class=""bb-i"">finally</span> have someone in Downing Street that’s not afraid to stand up for the British people.”<br/><br/>He extended his hand towards the Prime Minister and Fraser turned to his wife with a confused look. She nodded him on in encouragement. He took the old man’s hand and shook it. “Thank you.”<br/><br/>As Campbell took to the car with his wife he sat in silence and pondered the exchange he'd just had. Since the Palace had <span class=""bb-i"">suggested</span> the Voluntary Repatriation Bill he'd acted under the presumption that the British public would revile it every bit as much as he did behind closed doors. He hoped they would consider it a niche issue like universal healthcare or Northern independence. Yet the further he travelled from London the more support for the policy he found and that worried him.<br/><br/>He knew could count on the North. Though they denied it there was still support for the old cause there. Yet Fraser would have to carry the South if he was to liberate this damned country and from what he'd seen this afternoon they weren't going to go without a fight.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Vauxhall, Liverpool</span><br/><br/>The North. Sebastian Hedland hated the North. It wasn’t that the North was a hotbed of closeted anarchist sympathisers and socialists, though that was part of it, for the most part his hatred for it came from its dreariness. It was dull, drab to look at, and the weather was somehow <span class=""bb-i"">even</span> worse than the weather in the South. Once upon a time the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem </span>had been the leading social democratic magazine in Britain, it had even published articles in support of the anarchists at the very beginning of the Troubles, but it had renounced its support for them when murder and political kidnapping became their tool of choice. The trade unions in the North had stood with them until the end. It was why the labour movement was dead and why there were no more trade unions and co-operatives.<br/><br/>Or at least that was what Seb had thought. He’d taken a train to Liverpool on Fred Lambert’s advice to speak to the workers at the Daley’s Sugar Refinery that had allegedly set up a cooperative. He wanted to find out whether there was any truth to it, how the hell it worked, and whether they were worried the government might crack down on them. First though Seb needed to find the man that “ran” the cooperative. He’d taken a taxi from Liverpool Station to the Daley’s Sugar Refinery and was loitering outside of it trying to find an entrance when he bumped into a young man on his way inside. <br/><br/>Hedland approached him anxiously and pointed at the picture clipped from the <span class=""bb-i"">Liverpool Echo</span>. “Excuse me, I’m looking for Richard Short.”<br/><br/>The young man eyed him from head to toe with a suspicious glare. His Liverpudlian drawl was so heavy that Hedland could barely understand him but clued out what the man had said from the context. “Who are you?”<br/><br/>“My name’s Sebastian Hedland,” Seb said with a nervous smile as he patted down his pockets in search of a card. “I’m from the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>.”<br/><br/>The man looked unimpressed. “The new what?”<br/><br/>“The <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>,” Hedland said with a smile as he finally located a card and handed it to the man. “It’s a politics magazine.”<br/><br/>The man took the card and looked at it for a few seconds before handing it back to Seb. “Right, right, well… Ricky’s not here at the moment but if you follow me you can take a seat inside and I’ll tell him you’re waiting for him when he gets back. He shouldn’t be too long. He only popped to the offie round the corner to buy some ciggies.”<br/><br/>Half of what the man had said had missed him but Hedland saw the man gesture towards the entrance of Daley’s Sugar Refinery and nodded at him. “Sure.”<br/><br/>Seb followed the gruff, short Liverpudlian and took a seat on a wooden bench near the entrance. He watched as people walked up and down the refinery’s aisles and occasionally smiled at the workers when they looked at him. There was something in their eyes that Hedland didn’t like. They seemed suspicious, untrusting even, as if Hedland had come to make trouble. Ten minutes turned to twenty turned to forty-five that turned to an hour and as Sebastian took to his feet to leave the entrance to the refinery opened. Through it walked a man with shoulder length brown hair with thick, bushy black eyebrows, and long unkempt sideburns. He pushed a cigarette box into the top pocket of his baggy white shirt and Hedland glanced at him searchingly.<br/><br/>“Richard?” Hedland called out to him. “Richard Short?”<br/><br/>“Call me Ricky,” Short said as he shook Seb’s hand. “If these bastards hear you calling me my Christian name they’ll never let me hear the end of it. You’re that journo from London, I gather?”<br/><br/>Seb smiled. “What gave me away?”<br/><br/>“There’s not a Scouser on Earth that would be caught dead dressed in that clobber,” Short said with a chuckle as he gestured to the floral shirt that Seb was wearing beneath his grey suit. “Why don’t I show you round the place?”<br/><br/>Under any other circumstances Seb might have been offended but after waiting for nearly an hour he was just glad that Short had <span class=""bb-i"">finally</span> arrived. He seemed amiable enough compared to some of his colleagues and was quick to crack wise with both passing workers and Hedland as they walked around. Despite his long hair and ill-fitting clothing Ricky seemed to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the refinery’s history and how it worked. It was when Seb asked Short how Daley’s had survived the Troubles when so many other businesses had been destroyed that Short got particularly animated.<br/><br/>“We looked after one another,” Ricky said as he leant over some metal railings. “That’s what we do in Liverpool see, it’s not like London up here. Everyone knows everyone. Old man Daley looked after his workers and then when the Troubles came they looked after this place. After he died he left the factory to his son, John, who left it to us when he died six months ago. That’s that stuff karma at work, I reckon. Isn’t that what they call it? Karma?”<br/><br/>Hedland smiled and then pointed down at some of Ricky’s colleagues walking underneath them. “How does it work? Who’s in charge here?”<br/><br/>“We’re <span class=""bb-i"">all</span> in charge,” Short said as he gestured his arms around the refinery with a proud expression. “If we need to make a decision about the place’s future we take a vote on it.”<br/><br/>Hedland had thought of a dozen practical follow up questions before Short had even finished speaking but Seb hadn’t travelled across the country to ask about the practical. It was the ideas that interested him, it was the ideas that had <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> interested him, and the idea at the heart of cooperatives was a familiar one. It was not one that was often spoken about in polite company because of its affiliation with the Troubles.<br/><br/>Seb looked up from his notepad with a grin. “This all sounds an <span class=""bb-i"">awful</span> lot like socialism.”<br/><br/>Within seconds Ricky Short’s genial face became red with rage. “It’s not socialism to look after one another, mate, it’s common sense. Plenty of ours died fighting those so-called “socialists” that tried to burn our city to the ground during the Troubles. So I’ll be fucked if some twat from London tries to tar us with the same brush as those bastards. Please excuse my French.”<br/><br/>Hedland had barely opened his mouth to respond when the doors to the refinery burst open. There was shouting from the lower level and Ricky ran towards it. Seb tucked his notepad into his suit trousers and followed after him as they saw the source of the commotion. Through the entrance of Daley’s Sugar Refinery were pouring a dozen men in black military uniforms without markings. They had assault rifles in their arms and levelled the butts of their rifles against any of the Daley employees within arms reach.<br/><br/>A ginger-haired man with slick-back hair and a thick moustache was screaming at the top of his voice. “On the fucking ground.”<br/><br/>Ricky placed his hands in the air and approached the men. “What’s going on here? Who are you people?”<br/><br/>The man smashed the butt of his rifle against the back of Ricky Short’s head and he fell to the ground with a heavy thud. Once he was satisfied Ricky was unconscious he looked up at Hedland who was frozen stiff with fright. “Get on the fucking ground.”<br/><br/>“I’m a journalist,” Hedland said as he lifted his hands up. “I work for the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>.”<br/><br/>The ginger-haired man shook his head angrily and started to pace towards Hedland. He had to be six foot two at the least and Seb could tell from the way the man walked that he was made of pure muscle. He had a crazed, murderous look in his eye as he bore down on Hedland. <br/><br/>“I’m not one of them. Why aren’t you listening to me? I’m a jour-”<br/><br/>There was a loud crack and Hedland’s world went black for a second. He fell to his knees at the man’s feet and felt blood trickle from the back of his head along his neck and down his shoulders. Seb’s ears were ringing and his whole world seemed to spun as he clutched onto the man’s feet to keep himself upright. He felt the man’s hand grab a hold of a handful of his curly black hair and saw his spiteful face smirk at him as he sent his knee hurtling towards Hedland’s face. </div>"

Almost. For several hours, the instructors and the students exchanged rubber bullets on the steep hills of Sevan Island. Abbasian, undermanned and under-equipped, led his team through a flanking maneuver that seemed all too elementary to be predicted. On the other end of the maneuver was a small element of leftovers. Carrying machineguns and as much spare ammunition as they could carry, Sulayev and about three others shrewdly tricked the instructors into believing that he had taken his entire team up the beach into the predicted killzone. With all the machineguns turned on the instructors, they believed that they were facing at least half a company. When Sulayev was pinned by enemy fire, the instructors began their attempt to rout C Company. But as they filed into a firing line on a rock outcropping looking down onto the beach, Abbasian came in to eliminate them. The eastern flank collapsed, allowing for the students' other companies to flood the gap and fill in through holes left in the defenses. When the instructor teams began to notice, they pulled in tighter. Some units had to be shifted from west to east to fill in: a prime opportunity for the westernmost student companies to rally and shoot them in their backs.<br/><br/>On the hill, the fortress didn't last long. An hour-long lull in the fighting provided an opportunity for the students - missing vital radio links from breakages or ""deaths"" - to regroup and hit the outpost as planned. Most of the scouting forces had been obliterated during the confusion of C Company's beach run, leaving only a small unit of defenders on the fortress. They fought for as long as they could, yet the elements were against them. It was a heroic charge from A Company that pushed up and over the sandbag fortifications and into the trenches. Moments later, a young Officer Candidate singlehandedly ripped down the guidon from its posting at the center of the base. The exercise had ended: the students had won their right to graduate. Exhausted, grimy, and still anxious, the Candidates flooded onto the provided riverine boats to be steamed back to the waiting docks. They came in slow as the sun set behind them, casting a shimmering orange light on the harbor. Lining the piers were soldiers and airmen, all watching their new officers arrive. There was no jubilant celebration or victory music. The boats crept in ominously while the Candidates looked out and over. Their faces had long since been turned into grimy murals of streaked facepaint, carbon, dirt, and sometimes blood. Their uniforms were more brown than olive.<br/><br/>A returning Candidate's eyes seemed apathetic - dead, almost. He stared his soldiers in the eyes, too tired to avert his gaze once locked. Some slunk low below the gunwales to sleep, avoiding the matter altogether. They were awoken by the bump of the craft against the dock, the riverine-men tying their ropes to cleats on the wooden platforms. Quietly, they were ushered out of the boats and onto waiting trucks. Their rucksacks were hastily thrown onboard, followed by their rifles. The men clambered aboard last. They drove the rest of the way to the dingy, cinderblock bays that sat low in the shaded training retreat of Joint Base Sevan Lake. Surrounded by a prison-like chainlink fence and barbed wire, these had been home for the past seven - almost eight now - weeks. The sun had set already by the time the Candidates had dragged their soaked, dirty gear into their cots. Wordlessly, they stripped without any sense of shame or modesty. The few who felt motivated enough went to go take cold showers in the communal bathroom, but most instantly curled up on their bunks and fell fast asleep. Almost taking pity on these young Officer Candidates, the instructors allowed them to sleep in an extra hour the next morning before waking them up with the traditional morning doorkicking.<br/><br/>OCS was over. The graduation ceremony took place in the same parade ground that they had entered into so many days ago on a moonlit night. Many recalled being forced off the bus at gunpoint in the middle of the night, forced to recover their belongings after having their bags dumped out in a ditch beside the dilapidated asphalt road. Dressed in clean uniforms, they stood at attention for a half hour listening to a speech from an officer that they didn't particularly know nor care about. The head instructor, too, gave his own speech. He ran through what was the standard par for the course at that point: how motivated and dedicated to success the young officers were. How they withstood challenges for the Fatherland, how they stood up to the occasion when nobody else would. Officers, by very definition, were volunteers. A far cry from the two-year conscript forced on border guard duty. These were just words. The officers said words without meaning. Each one of the new officers had their own reasons to be there. Fervent patriotism wasn't the only thing that drove them. Tradition marched some along, as it had their fathers and grandfathers. Money motivated others, or the promise of a secure career. Many simply wanted to put their skills as university graduates to work and train up before they left their service term. Some others wanted back in because they had gotten bored with civilian life.<br/><br/>That was something that bothered Abbasian as he said his goodbyes and left for the train station with Sulayev. Both of them, with their insignia newly pinned upon their collars, walked the boulevard casually. He turned to his Yazidi friend, lit a cigarette, and rummaged around in his pocket for something that he wasn't sure he was even looking for. ""I can't go back to the real world,"" the dark-skinned Lieutenant admitted. His brown eyes scanned the mountains above the train tracks before he stopped himself. The thrumming of propellers in the distance wasn't a threat.<br/><br/>""You can't? What did your family think?"" Sulayev responded as he bummed a cigarette himself.<br/><br/>""They were disappointed that I left home again. I told them I couldn't work at that damn logging company for another day. I wanted to do an actual job.""<br/><br/>""That is an actual job,"" the Yazidi argued. ""We need lumber.""<br/><br/>""I wanted to do something again. I got bored. I... I missed the war. I sound like a fucking psycho, I know.""<br/><br/>Sulayev sighed deeply, almost mournfully. He stopped in his tracks and put his duffel down onto the sidewalk. Abbasian, still ahead of him, turned again.<br/><br/>""I know what you mean,"" Suleyev admitted simply. ""I want the high back. War's a terrible thing but I want more. The entire time I wanted to leave but now I can't stop thinking about going back.""<br/><br/>Abbasian's friend, a stone pillar of stoicism, sat atop his bag and looked down at his boots. The Armenian edged forward before dropping his bag next to him. Sulayev's shoulders drooped as he ran a hand over his still-shaved scalp.<br/><br/>""I watched so many people die. I saw a kid barely younger than me get his arm blown off when he tried to man a gun in a trench. I was about to take it. That could've been me. Then I got on the gun anyways and I hosed down an advancing squad. I cut them down like they cut that kid down... I liked it. I felt good. I'm not supposed to feel like that. I'm not supposed to want more. My family doesn't fucking know. My girlfriend wouldn't understand. Fuck, she even left me halfway through OCS. I got the letter.""<br/><br/>""What'd you do with it?""<br/><br/>""I crumpled it up and tucked it behind the spoon of a hand grenade on range day.""<br/><br/>Abbasian raised his eyebrow but remained silent. The deep remorse, infectious and downing, was starting to get to him as well. He thought of his own personal conflicts. He had seen war just as Sulayev had, although maybe not as badly through the lens of a spotter's binoculars. He had his moments as well: he recalled a time after his first deployment where he had kicked through the drywall in his basement when he was drunk and consumed with grief. He had spiraled into a drinking cycle after that as he thought that he could chase the demons away with alcohol. He had nightmares, and every once in a while he couldn't sleep. Abbasian would lie atop his bed, staring at the ceiling as he heard the sounds of urban warfare echo through his head. One phrase in particular - ""Holy shit, man! How are you alive?"" - repeated itself over and over. He had just crouched down behind an overturned dumpster before an artillery explosion sent a piece of concrete flying through his manpack radio. It missed him by centimeters. Life and death were, for him, so closely related in the fields of Erzurum that he no longer thought about it. A body became a body: an object, not a person. Sulayev must have felt the same resignation, albeit much more guiltily.<br/><br/>""Who the fuck would care if I died?"" Sulayev moaned, burying his face in his hands. He sobbed like a child, broken down almost completely. ""Maybe my parents but they don't fucking count, man. I don't have any kids, any brothers.""<br/><br/>Abbasian looked around, then down. Stirred by the sudden outburst of emotion, he sat down as well. He remained silent, hand around Sulayev's shoulders and patting his back paternally.<br/><br/>And so the penitent soldiers comforted each other on the side of the road until they were galvanized to action by the sound of a train horn. They picked their bags up and straightened their uniforms. With a final check of composure, they walked side by side, out of Sevan.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Yerevan, Armenia</span><br/><br/>The cool morning air reminded Assanian of his time in the military: early wakeups, early physical training, and early marches on the road. His service as a pathfinder in the Armenian Regiments of the Ottoman Empire had been rather fruitful and part of him appreciated the opportunities for development even if he had been capped at an arbitrary limit by Ottoman military higher-ups. After all, it was his training that allowed him to escape Nor Yerzenka with his life during the early stages of the Revolution. He had to put off getting his law degree in Yerevan until after his service was up, but he appreciated that as well. He spent the 1950s partying and running around with his hair on fire until he realized that it was time to mellow out and get his future in order. He still served out a full career, retiring at age 40, but that was only because he had nowhere else to go. Unmarried with parents lost to cancer in his 30s, Assanian was alone in the world. Some of his peers would notice his introversion and distance as he fell into a depression before deciding to leave the military. After 1968 and his retirement, he was left to his own devices. He began to teach law and realized that the Armenian Regiments had done more good than harm. His opinion of military service lightened, perhaps as nostalgia took over as the years went by.<br/><br/>The door of the black staff car was slammed shut by an Army honor guardsmen as Assanian exited. It sped off down the road, kicking up exhaust as it went. Assanian grumbled something about Polish engines while he straightened his tie and walked up through the gardens to the Government House. Designed by Armenian architects shortly after independence, the beautiful and immaculately landscaped gardens were an attempt to demonstrate sovereignty. Cutting through the middle was a walkway patterned after an Armenian carpet, watched over on both sides by statues of Fedayeen on horseback. A stairway led up to a patio, beyond which was the door to the Parliamentary chamber. Inside of the building was a labyrinth of offices. Assanian, of course, was heading down to the basement. The Minister of War, Jordan Ivakon, was present in a meeting room alongside the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Alongside them were the recent evacuees from the Istanbul embassy and the Greek and Istanbul military liaisons. Assanian was ushered through by the Army guards who clutched rifles and wore web belts saddled down by ammunition pouches over their service uniforms. Hidden underneath their jackets were concealed flak vests. They looked fairly strange kitted down in battle gear atop their khaki uniforms and blaze orange berets. Assanian didn't have time to question the decision making process of the Army.<br/><br/>The Government House was not usually a center of cabinet meeting, but circumstances dictated it. The grey area of the Istanbul Crisis needed both civil and military inputs: Assanian was trying to handle the Ottoman attempts at revenge without shattering the fragile peace that he had brokered merely months before. Istanbul's revolt and transition to a cosmopolitan city-state had been a black eye for the Ottomans' pride. Armenia was a humiliation of the greatest sort and the rest of the Empire's dissolution was just as so, but Istanbul was the crown jewel of their state. The fact that the Istanbulite government leaned towards Greece and Armenia as protectors instead of the Ottomans was a slap in the face to the Sultanate still reeling from the death of Suleiman at the hands of spies: Ethiopians, no less! As a force of Armenian naval assets bore down on the city straits, they were fully prepared to launch ground forces in support of a Greek column that had parked itself to the west of the city in occupied territory. The Ottomans had been probing the City Guard for days now and flying reconnaissance missions over the Armenian flotilla. Political factions from both sides such as the embassy and the NSS had been evacuated from the city.<br/><br/>Assanian swept through several metal doors in the concrete basement of the Government House. The harsh, Spartan decor was enough to remind him that these had been constructed as an air-raid shelter for Armenian government personnel. Luckily, air defense artillerymen and the Air Force had prevented most of the heavier attempts at raiding through: as was explained to Assanian by the chief of the anti-aircraft branch, there was a huge disparity between technology on the ground and in the air. The development of land-based rotary cannons spitting 20mm shells in an endless stream would simply tear up strategic bombers. Flak systems on the ground were still immensely popular, shredding through airborne objects with ease. Fighters were harder to hit but could still be taken down. There were rumors of Polish aircraft utilizing jets and rockets operating at an experimental level, but Assanian's requests for information were denied even if it meant that the Poles could use their experimental airframes in actual combat to see the results firsthand. Operation Beta could only go so far.<br/><br/>A familiar dramatic scene awaited Assanian in the briefing room selected for that day's meeting. Briefcases, documents, photographs, censored pages of dossiers and observations, and anything else that could possibly be relevant covered the paper. Jordan Ivakon, the hard-charging combat veteran from Russia, held a cigarette loosely in his mouth while he ran a hand through his thick, curly hair. He sported a pair of clear, rimless glasses similar to the ones aviators wore with swagger. The Minister's coat - a wool sweater with a distinctly militaristic feel - was tossed haphazardly onto a coat rack in the corner. On the other side of the table was the Minister of Foreign Affairs: he was an older man by the name of Ibrahim Krikorian. Also bespectacled but distinctly lacking the ""cool"" factor, he was a bit more heavy-set and walked slowly with a limp. Assanian's neutral, almost plain self fit right in the middle of these two characters. All three of them exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes, asking about families and wives. They sat down to work quickly enough, anxiously knowing that time was scarce.<br/><br/>Ivakon dramatically stubbed his cigarette in an ashtray near his hand before reaching into his pocket and tossing a few photographs out onto the table. They were aerial reconnaissance photos taken by a plane equipped with a high-power camera. An Ottoman equipment yard on the north shore of the peninsula appeared in these blurry, black and white stills. They were curiously empty of all materiel that had been parked there only a month or so ago.<br/><br/>""This,"" Ivakon said, pointing to the photos, ""is a reservist equipment yard belonging to the 45th Home Guard. Whenever the Turks buy new tanks, the old ones get put here so the reserve units have something to play with. They were, as of last month, packed with all manner of trucks and tanks and anything else under the sun... Last week, they were gone.""<br/><br/>He motioned in to another photograph that appeared distinctly different from the others, taken by a cameraman on the ground. The NSS often paid off locals to take pictures of equipment yards, so this was probably a destitute farmer who lived nearby taking a few shots to get a generous payoff. The image showed a row of older tanks behind a barbed-wire fence, each with a white triangle and the numbers ""45/2"" on the turret.<br/><br/>""Now if you see here in our reports,"" the War Minister pointed out as he shuffled through an envelope of official papers, ""some spotters have observed tanks with the very same identification outside of Istanbul. Usually, Ottoman battle doctrine doesn't pull reservists out to battle until things got desperate, which is why we only saw them at the end of the war... The fact that they're putting them on the frontlines with regular combat troops proves that the Turks are planning something big.""<br/><br/>""Big enough that they want to throw everything they've got at it,"" added Krikorian. He pushed up his glasses and continued: ""The Greeks are getting antsy. The Istanbul city government has ordered them to stay outside of the city limit unless the Ottomans directly invade. They have assurances from us and the Greeks already that we'll respect their independence but they're frantically working it out with the Turkish provisional government in Ankara. Recently intercepted communications have revealed that these talks are breaking down in a rapid manner... The Turks are frustrated and ready to do something rash.""<br/><br/>""As of right now, we need a policy put in public,"" Ivakon stated seriously. He leaned down over the table, looking his President in the eye. ""This goes one of two ways, from what we've determined. We continue to provide an unofficial posture against the Turks and they invade. If we state in public that we will defend Istanbul, they may not.""<br/><br/>""May?"" scoffed Assanian. He straightened out his tie, trying to maintain his composure.<br/><br/>""The Turks want revenge. Their empire just fell apart and they're humiliated. They might not listen to us anyways... With the amount of forces they're putting on the Istanbul border, they're probably preparing to fight us anyways. Our own border is relatively stagnant, I doubt we'll be doing any DMZ smashing in the near future what with many of our forces engaged with Istanbul. They feel the same way.""<br/><br/>""We'll still expect conflict,"" piped up the portly Krikorian again, waving his hand in front of his face clumsily as if trying to articulate his point further.<br/><br/>""Our border forces are more than ready to handle a few weeks of conflict at least... Especially since we pulled more of them from Georgia's borders and left local police forces in charge of arresting the druggies that try to cross the border with meth,"" retorted Ivakon as he shot a glance over at Krikorian.<br/><br/>The Foreign Minister shrugged. ""Whoever gets past the reigning warlord in those mountain passes these days anyways... Some hardliner religious fellow who crucifies drug traffickers in some sort of theocracy. But that's none of my business.""<br/><br/>Assanian leaned back with a sigh. He had a habit of playing with button on his breast pocket, opening and closing it absentmindedly while he thought. ""The plan we talked about last week is still in effect, right?""<br/><br/>""Our newest batch of officers just came out of training and are being put into their units as we speak. Paratrooper detachments from the 1st and 2nd Regiments as well as the Foreign Legion,"" replied back the Russian, cocking his head to the side. ""Airmobile infantry are prepared on the decks of our transport ships ready to land at designated high-value locations to secure them before the paratroopers can come in with better numbers and equipment. The Greeks will do the brunt of the fighting. We just hold the line and get what we need.""<br/><br/>Assanian nodded understandingly. ""I see nothing has really changed.""<br/><br/>""Situation remains the same,"" muttered Krikorian, quoting an old military adage.<br/><br/>Another round of silent nods. Assanian looked back at the door and the coat rack before hastily throwing his coat around his shoulders. ""Call me if it changes,"" remarked the President. He walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him. The ministers inside sat in silence until Ivakon packed up his intelligence and bid farewell to his colleagues. Back to the office for him. Krikorian would do the same.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Istanbul</span><br/><br/>The Istanbul city militiaman stubbed out his cigarette on a clay ashtray sitting on a windowsill. He was tired, having reached the tail end of his night shift. A rifle was slung around his shoulder and body armor hung loosely off of his broad shoulders. A thick mustache adorned his dark face. The sun cast its reddish rays on the desolate outskirts of the east side of Istanbul, past abandoned industrial buildings and lots filled with nothing. The man put his rifle down as he reached for another cigarette. His lighter came to his face and he lit it with a palm cupped over the flame. The rumbling of something in the distance wasn't an immediate concern for him until he noticed that it was approaching ever more quickly. A dozen black dots in the distance grew rapidly, soon enough revealing themselves as sturdy propeller driven attack aircraft. They zoomed by low and fast before the militiaman could react: seconds later, explosions boomed in the cityscape behind him.<br/><br/>Another wave of aircraft passed overhead. Another salvo of bombs hit targets located all over the city. An ammunition dump on the riverside exploded, shattering windows and blowing debris across the urban maze of Istanbul. The militiaman dropped to the ground just moments before a cannon opened up on his guard position, tearing away the flimsy brick wall to his left. His heart beat through his chest and his breath became rapid and shallow: he grabbed his rifle and let loose a burst towards the sky in a vain attempt to fight back. A second airstrike blew him away completely, leaving nothing left except a bloodied stub of leg and a boot that came to a rest a quarter of a kilometer down the road.<br/><br/>Over the radio, still squawking in the corner, an Istanbul commander called his men to arms. The war had begun again.</div>"

On a breath of soft static crackling voices spoke low and soft in the room she awoken to find herself in. Her head felt muddled and slow from last night's acid and the colors and the light of the room felt more vibrant than they should be as she awoken. She was at first groggy, then a spike of terror drove into her heart as her thoughts collected. She sprang upright, gasping for air as she clutched the coarse bare-threaded sheers of the bed up to her breasts, she wrapped her free arm around her legs and gasped for shivering breaths as she turned her frightened watch to the source of the subdued noise.<br/><br/>For her modesty though, she was not naked. But she was frightened and confused and that made her feel all the more exposed.<br/><br/>The room was small and mostly barren. She sat atop of a sparse cot and a drawn sheet afforded some minutia privacy. But in the sliver of an opening where the sheet met the wall she could deduce all she needed. She was in some small apartment, the walls were blue; vibrant or dull blue she couldn't tell. A single large window produced much of the light and in the far corner a pair of elderly couples sat at a small table playing a game of mahjong each as a large, old wood-paneled radio crackled nearby with some subdued radio news show, she didn't recognize it as the one that often played in the streets of Hong Kong; it must be out of Macau.<br/><br/>Sitting up in her bed she tried to remember what had happen and to find some reason why she was there. The memories were ghostly. They escaped like a cloud of steam through her fingers as she reached out to grab them. What was there was a lost and fleeting image and broken pieces of something. She could remember specks, hardly a peep into what happened last night. There was colors, laughing, and light. Then screams, darkness, and the world feeling like it was melting. The later came onto her with the force of a bucket of cold water and her skull throbbed like beetles were eating her from the inside out. She curled up, resting her face on her knees as the pain subsided. Whatever had happened, it was a terrible trip. A part of her asked her to not take it again, to cut it out. And maybe she could.<br/><br/>She sat up in that strange bed, the curtains still drawn out of fear. Cold shivers ran up and down her spine like uninvited fingers. Beyond the curtain the slow purposeful clacking and snapping of the mahjong dominoes on the table continued their measured song. The radio continued to spill softly spoken words through a veneer of white noise. There was a stillness.<br/><br/>Until the door opened.<br/><br/>The sudden tick of the deadbolt threw Mei upright when the mysterious door swung open. There was light footsteps and a boy's voice spoke out, “Good morning Pa, Nana, Grandma, Grandpa.” he greeted in a friendly voice, it was Yan Cong.<br/><br/>Was she at Yan Cong's? How'd she end up here? Mei's head raced with questions and it again tried to pull for wispy memories. There was a distinct smell of fried rice and dumplings that hit her nose, but she couldn't place the reasoning. Angry and disgruntled she threw her head down into her hands and moaned. She could feel tears building in behind her eyes.<br/><br/>“I think your friend is awake.” croaked one of the seniors in the corner, her voice dry and raspy and heavy with an old accent.<br/><br/>There was the sound of anxious footfalls. Two, three, four, and five strides, then peeking in through the curtains was Yan Cong.<br/><br/>Mei looked down at him with a confused worried look. She rested her chin on her crossed arms. But there wasn't any pride in her look as she looked down at him. She felt ashamed, and she turned to look away. Her heart sank low. She could patch together what had happened from there.<br/><br/>Cong looked up at her as he stood on the bunk below. The weight of his body pulled on his fingers and he felt the hard corners of the bed frame dig into the joints of his fingers. It wasn't soft, and it was far from comfortable for him.<br/><br/>“Are you alright?” he asked. He didn't try to hide it, he was concerned. Mei had ran out into the middle of the market late last night screaming nonsense. And it was far from a normal thing. A heavy stone sat at the bottom of his stomach. If Tui wasn't there with him, would the police had got to the young girl before either of her friends?<br/><br/>Mei kept her head turned against the wall. A pitiful sorrow hang over her head and she kept a monastic silence.<br/><br/>“Oh the poor girl, I know the feeling. My sister, the war-” began the same old woman from before.<br/><br/>“Please my flower, not while a guest is here.” cautioned her husband, and a tense silence came again.<br/><br/>“I should just say: my dad will be coming home from the factory soon.” warned Cong, “Mom just left... Just... Just so you know.” he said cautiously in a low voice. Gingerly, he lowered himself and his face disappeared from her hiding spot.<br/><br/>There was an uneasy sense of some impending threat in Cong's warning. Although for sure not intended to be a ultimatum, it hanged the cost of frightful negligence over her head. She waited for a time after her friend had departed from the room and the sounds of the ancient game of domino continued to on the far-side of the tiny apartment. But as the seconds dragged to minutes, she slid herself off of the raised bunk and came to a delicate thud on floor; Yan Cong at least would be able to protect her more than his parents.<br/><br/>The living quarters afforded on the Yans was tiny, hardly a parcel larger than her family room. In a tight space all the necessities were packed together; kitchen and dining, sitting room and bedroom. Only a single door for a bathroom along side the exterior wall behind his grandparents signaled the only other room the family had.<br/><br/>She nervously smiled, wrapped her arms around her as she nodded to the elders sitting at the table and dashed out of the apartment. She met Cong in the hallway.<br/><br/>“So, ah-...” she hesitated, “Your grandparents?” she asked laconically.<br/><br/>Cong shot a look to his apartment's door. The hallway it occupied was dry and sparse, a gun-metal gray corridor with a browning red carpet. “They won't do anything.” he assured her. He turned to walk down the hall, plodding slowly.<br/><br/>“Oh...” Mei mumbled, following her friend as they strolled through the apartment, “So your parents won't know I was here?”<br/><br/>“They won't.” he comforted in a low voice, “They'll get engrossed in their game, tell mom or dad about the scores when they get back home. Dad'll pass out to sleep, and mom will busy herself with dinner. The topic shouldn't arise.”<br/><br/>“But if it does?” Mei asked. She was afraid. She nervously watched the solid-color walls as they walked. A tinge of paranoia crawled in her gut, afraid some misshapen form would melt into view from the blurred intermingling of cracks, shadows, and the soft yellow light. In subdued dred she watched thin hair-line cracks ripple gently and she wondered if the drug was still in her system.<br/><br/>She was also hungry. Terribly hungry.<br/><br/>“I'll figure something out.” Cong said, passing along unsure assurances by loyalty of friendship, “I'll make something up.”<br/><br/>Mei smiled nervously and laughed. But it felt empty and she bowed her head as they came around to the stairwell.<br/><br/>“Do- can I get something to eat?” she asked. The request felt shamefully selfish. “I mean, could we?” she corrected herself desperately, trying to not be self-centered with Cong.<br/><br/>He turned to look back at her as she started to climb down the stairs. “I guess.” he answered.<br/><br/>“Oh, thank you.”<br/><br/>Walking down the narrow cement stairwell the two held a silence between each other. It wasn't until they walked out into the bright mid-morning sunlight of Hong Kong that conversation was re-ignited. “So, what happened last night?” Mei asked. To a point, last night was a blur. She remembered being at the Catrina Madrid, having their local special. Then it became a mess of sounds, images, and smells. It felt as wet as the memories were in her grasp.<br/><br/>“We – Pui Tui and I - found you at the night market.” Cong began, “You were acting terrified, and screaming about animals and horses. Tui had the bright idea of pulling you out, you were acting like you were in a nightmare.<br/><br/>“Between there and his truck you passed out. I offered to keep you, Pui's parents can be too nosey.”<br/><br/>“So... I-...” she started, a sudden chilling dawning crept over her. But she held her tongue.<br/><br/>“You what?” Cong asked, looking up at her.<br/><br/>“Oh, nothing.” she stuttered nervously. She chewed her lips as they slowly strolled down the side-walk. Traffic bustled past them as the walked down the narrow streets of Tai Po. They passed under the shade of phoenix and banyan trees cluttered with colorful song birds. Cast-iron fences covered with flaking green-paint divided the side-walk from over-grown parkways or the untended back corners of apartment plazas. Cyclists competed with small cars and trucks for control of the urban streets.<br/><br/>Cong nodded, tepidly dismissing his line of questioning for now. He could see she was not in the mind or enthusiasm for pressing it and let it by the way-side.<br/><br/>“Cong.” Mei spoke up, “I never noticed until now: but you walk so slow.” she observed.<br/><br/>He looked over and up at her, a prying how-did-you-not-know expression on his face. “I mean,” she stammered apologetically, “I always thought it was Tui that walked slow, and we all walked at his pace if we were together.” she explained.<br/><br/>“Oh!” Cong exclaimed, “No, he's not slow. He's actually a fast walker.” he expressed dispassionately. “I can't run, or rather I don't.”<br/><br/>“Why not?” she asked.<br/><br/>“I'm just... I'm runtish.” he explained, holding out his arms, “You know, like that.” there was a look of self pity in his long face, and he immediately dropped his eyes from Mei to the ground in front of them.<br/><br/>“I've been this way always,” he said with a long sigh, “they said if I don't do anything about it I may be in leg braces and with a cane when I hit thirty. An- and yeah, I do. But I won't be anything more than a lanky, weak runt of a man.”<br/><br/>“Oh? But I've watched you play with Tui at the Center, after school. You never seemed that way at all.” she comforted supportivly, “Lin and I, we didn't think you were anything but a skinny awkward kid that liked to hang out with Tui.”<br/><br/>“Well thanks, but no I don't play games or anything like other guys would...” his voiced lowered pitifully, “I wish I could, but if I don't I'd probably be in worse shape than I am now.”<br/><br/>“How so?” asked Mei.<br/><br/>“I was diagnosed as being atrophic since I was a kid.” Cong explained, “Like, my muscles will waste away if I don't do anything. They can't do anything about it, only tell me to keep busy. It isn't hard to do, but I don't try to do anything more than keep moving.<br/><br/>“Understand Mei, I don't think I can ever be as good as Tui at American basket ball, I won't keep up in ping pong, and I can't do Wushu beyond maybe basic t'ai chi ch'uan. I'm afraid I could hurt myself.”<br/><br/>“Oh Cong, I'm sorry.” she expressed, “I didn't know...”<br/><br/>“Tui's always known, and he's been there to help me out.” smiled Cong, “He's been a good friend.”<br/><br/>“He has.” admitted Mei. She wondered if this was Cong's way of paying it forward, or the sort of loyalty they – she, Cong, Tui, and Lin – had together. It brought a sense of remorse over her infrequent forays to the Cantina Madrid over her, and the world seemed to darken some.<br/><br/>Crossing onto a bridge over the Shing Mun river they found a food vendor parked on the far-side. The sweet smell of pork dumplings mingled with the smell of rumbling trucks as they cross over the shallow murky water of the river in its shallow concrete and gravel bed, literally re-carved to accommodate the city at its banks. “I think we found dim sum.” Cong pointed out, “I'll treat.”<br/><br/>“Thanks.” Mei smiled.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Korla</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Southern Xianjiang</div><br/><br/>“Where is our guest of honor?” a man demanded, thick and heavy. Large hands hovered besides a blue porcelain plate devoid of any contents. But his heavy dish-pan face was full of anxious hunger. His narrow brown eyes scanned the others present in the room.<br/><br/>“He will arrive, Inshallah.” offered his neighbor across from him. A younger man by his years, but baked in the desert sun and turned over in the military had made a strange sort of young wise man that was shone in the delicate wrinkles left in his squinted eyes by the desert heat. He was perhaps in his mid thirties. A thin pointed beard as well grew in a downward curl from his chin.<br/><br/>A long dinner table was set up in the middle of an empty room. Black and white photos and ink portraits hung from silk scrolls from the walls. It was a public space, filled in all by twenty men. Contained in closed wicker baskets the spread of the day waited being served. Though they kept the food arm, it did not help in retaining the smells.<br/><br/>Drifting out from the fibrous containers the rich, succulent smells of camel, mutton, and goat whetted the mouths of all present. Subtle fruity hints of rich fruit as well swam in the warm fan-churned air of a fry southern summer. Hidden among the baskets, maize and rice sat idly steaming themselves in patient waiting. There was a bowl of uncovered raisins, and another of stacked naan bread. It was a dinner in waiting, and it was lorded over by hungry wolves. Though some showed it more so than others.<br/><br/>“Perhaps he got arrested again?” asked a young man at the table. He was just barely a man, his face still boyish and clean, unshaven or withered by the sun. A thick head of dirty blonde hair sat atop his head and hung down before his narrow brow. He was Uyghur.<br/><br/>“Patience Burhan.” the old military vet cautioned, “If that were to happen we would have all heard by now.”<br/><br/>“And what use would the government have in holding Hua He?” the hungry impatient wolf of a Mongolian laughed, “He is a driver.”<br/><br/>“What reason would they even have in arresting Erkin Amas?” questioned another, “I was sure that era would be over.”<br/><br/>“I would not bet that in the end someone will charge a man such as he with something trivial.” someone laughed.<br/><br/>“Let's not dwell on it comrades, all the same. Let us return to waiting.” said the old veteran.<br/><br/>“Waiting will have us all killed.” commented the wider one with sharpened hungry wit.<br/><br/>“You expect that because we do nothing the Spanish will simply fly their airplanes this far east to strike this building?” joked the veteran, “Please Tomorbaatar, there are worse fates to be a part of than being hungry.”<br/><br/>“Would they do that?” asked the youth.<br/><br/>“Of course not.” the veteran consoled, “It's impossible.”<br/><br/>“Quiet, both of you. He's coming.”<br/><br/>The room went tense. A pair of heavy footfalls could be heard from behind a simple door behind the head of the table. All eyes turned to watch who came in as the door opened slowly, allowing in two men. The men rose from their seats and bowed to the new guests.<br/><br/>One was a short gaunt man. His face blemished with moles and a thin beard and mustache growth. He was dwarfed by the much taller man at his side, who wearing a trimly cut suit provided a much more regal and fairer purpose.  A simple light-blue knitted Taqiyah crowned his head, covering his combed back, dusty brown hair.<br/><br/>Pausing in the door the taller figure stopped and smiled, and returned the bow. “My friends!” he beamed with a smile, “How fairs?” he asked as he walked to take his seat at the table.<br/><br/>“All is well, Hua He.”  Tomorbaatar declared eagerly, “Now, may we eat?”<br/><br/>Hua He took his seat at the head of the table, nearest the Mongol and his veteran friend. A nearby empty seat was taken by He's friend. “You may.” he bid.<br/><br/>Tomorbaatar eagerly reached out to the middle of the table, and flipped the wicker lid off of one of the baskets before him. Digging his fingers into the dumplings within, he withdrew a few finger fulls of the golden-browned delicacies and placed them on his plate before assembling the rest of the lunch onto his plate. The others did likewise the sweet aromas of the meal was released in full as lids and covers were removed.<br/><br/>“So how does life fair, comrade?” asked the veteran across from Tomorbaatar.<br/><br/>“It does well for me, my son is to turn eighteen in the coming weeks and I feel he may follow his father's footsteps into the military.” He smiled, “Inshallah, his service is fruitful and honorable. And you, Ching Wa?”<br/><br/>“Well.” Wa replied simply, “That is all.”<br/><br/>“Nothing then?” He inquired as he piled a modest clump of rice onto his plate.<br/><br/>“To be truthful, hardly. I go out every morning with my family and neighbors and see to the fields. As it has been since I left the army.”<br/><br/>“To be honest comrade,” Tomorbaatar spoke as he began to pick through his plate, which had become a banquet in its own right, “I was beginning to suspect you may have been arrested again.”<br/><br/>Hue He smiled, “No, hardly. I think enough have recognized there's no use in arresting a retired general such as myself anymore.”<br/><br/>“I would not be so sure, we did not after all expect them to arrest anyone after Hajj some seven years ago.” a man from the middle of the table said, leaning over his plate to address Hua He. He was middle-aged, pale in his complexion. “So enemies, you are still not short of.”<br/><br/>“Don't remind me, Laquan.” Han Hue remarked bitterly.<br/><br/>“We shouldn't dwell too much on back then, we have a future to look towards.” Ching Wa remarked with a brimming smile, “Word has it that the proposals for Xinjiang being recognized as Uyghur territory has arrived to Beijing, and there's multiple considerations for Hui regions.” he declared.<br/><br/>“Mhm, yes.” He acknowledged, “A little recognition between out people can go a long way. Even if not much.”<br/><br/>“Besides that though, it's hardly as if it will grant us any new power over our homes!” Laquan decried, “What can our autonomous councils do that won't be overridden by Beijing?”<br/><br/>“Complain, officially.” Tomorbaatar said through stuffed cheeks, “And loudly.”<br/><br/>“Can I ask a question, uncle?” the youth pipped up.<br/><br/>“Sure.” He invited, hovering a few grains of rice in front of his face with his chopsticks.<br/><br/>“Can the Spanish reach us?” he asked.<br/><br/>He cracked a humored smile, “No, they can't Gang.”<br/><br/>“Will you go to fight them?” he asked.<br/><br/>Hua He looked down, at his plate as he contemplatively chewed his rice, “We will need to find out.” he answered simply.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Volgograd</div><br/><br/>At a park-bench in the shade of lush green trees Jun watched a man walk down the side-walk. Limping, he walked on a waxy, ebony cane. A worn-out business suit hung from his shoulders. He looked to be the age of Jun. The limp wasn't of age, but of injury. His leg was lifted with care as if it were fragile, and the weight of his step was carried through the cane. It wasn't there to prop up on imbalance, but to supplement for lost ability.<br/><br/>Having entered Volgograd, the Chinese agent had to find some sort of source of information to continue on. He had no leads on the location of anyone who might know where the Chinese expat community was, just that it was down river from Volgograd. But the Volga river opened into a wide and twisting delta that was too large to search. It was a great loss that Shu could not have provided more exact direction, and there was no way he could contact him again.<br/><br/>So now in the shade of the trees he fell back to the basic tricks he put to practice in Tibet ten years ago. To infiltrate a community and seek out anyone who might have leads, then case them to learn if they might be trusted; who they knew, where they went, and how much a political affiliation they had. And if they could not turn up information on some quarry on direct confrontation, then simply watching would help.<br/><br/>But so far he hadn't crossed any Chinese in Volgograd. But there were other curious persons. Potential Mafiya soldiers, Turkish mercenaries, and this individual.<br/><br/>As jaded it would seem, the demeanor of the man Jun was casing was something like someone who was going into money. His prime shaved face was that of an individual groomed to interact with others. Between his small townhouse and the building which he worked out of there was a considerable degree of traffic. There was no shortage in visitors and transport that worked out of his warehouse in the middle of the town.<br/><br/>Passing the hidden seat Jun watched him from the man passed out of his line of sight and kept down the side-walk. Jun stood up from his bench and turned to follow his path. So far he could believe his affiliations with anyone was minimal. He had not seen any horse masks around him, nor had he seen soldiers or police. So he followed.<br/><br/>Where Jun identified the man to work was a simple redbrick building, trimmed at the corners and around the windows in the vibrant and complex trimming and decoration of the late 19th century. High on the walls, narrow tall windows looked out onto the street while dark curtains prevented onlookers from peering inside. Jun watched from the street corner as he carefully climbed up the stairs and to the front door. Pulling keys out of his pocket he fumbled with the lock before gaining entry.<br/><br/>With the streets clear, and the man inside he took the opportunity to approach him, and followed him inside.<br/><br/>The air was heavy with the smell of malt and fermentation. Standing in the doorway Jun was hit with the sharp crisp, earthly aromas of brewing. It dominated the air and bubbled in his nose. The smell of fermenting grains, tubers, fruits, and berries was heavy in the halls.<br/><br/>There was a pervasive absence of sound, or that of habitation other than the distant sounds of furnaces. The naked hardwood floors groaned heavily under Jun's weight, and even timid careful steps could not muffle the admonishing groans of the old wood.<br/><br/>Reaching out a hand Jun pushed open a door at the far end of the main hallway. It swung gently on its hinges, revealing a vast room of copper pots and vats gentle bubbling away, the aromatic streams of steam that billowed from under the lids and from valves revealed the building to be what it's for: a brewery.<br/><br/>In the middle of the chamber, his target stood alone inspecting the contents of the middle-most vat. He rose in his hand a glass half-full of frothy golden-yellow beer, inspecting its very glow and foam with keen eyes. As he rose it to his lips to drink, Jun spoke: “I did not think the Turks would have allowed this.” he said in a low hostile voice.<br/><br/>The man jumped into a panic, dropping the glass and it shattered on the flagstone flooring. His heart in a panic in tore about in a sharp 180 degree, stumbling against the still and limping on his bum leg. “Verdammt!” he screamed, panicking.<br/><br/>“Who are you? What the fuck do you want!?” he bellowed, his voice was heavy with an accent. Not Russian, German. But his Russian was clear and exact, he was well mannered to the language.<br/><br/>Jun walked into the room. He cast a passing look over the rows and rows of massive copper tubs. They were well kept, like a mirror they reflected the room clearly on their golden-red hulls. “You work alone?” Jun asked.<br/><br/>“S-s-shit. Do you want money? Is that what you want!? I don't got any!” the fearful, crippled German cried.<br/><br/>“No.” Jun responded.<br/><br/>“If this is employment then you have terrible manners asking for a job, you fucking chink.” the German continued to rave. He grasped  the head on his cane in both hands, and with a swift whoosh of metal he unsheathed a dagger from the walking stick. He held it out before him, waving it nervously. But his leg was still bum.<br/><br/>Jun looked at the knife with a look of surprise but little more. He had not expected it, but between it and its wielder there wasn't much threat to it. “Put it away before you hurt yourself.” he demanded in a cold dispassionate tone.<br/><br/>“I'll gut you like a pig if you get closer!” the German sneered, his voice was shaking. And the threat was a failed pass at intimidation to the agent. Reaching into his tattered black coat he withdrew the pistol given to him from Shu. Seeing the gray steel flash in the warm light of the brewery forced the German to reconsider.<br/><br/>“I- ah, uhm...” he mumbled, the weight of gun-point diplomacy reaching that of reality, “Ok, I guess we can make a deal.” he said sourly.<br/><br/>“Thank you.” sneered Jun, tucking the revolver away, “I'm a little lost, and new to the area. I need directions.”<br/><br/>“I don't get around enough, Comrade Hou. I hope you can see that through those squinting eyes of yours. What could you possible need me for?”<br/><br/>“Your a man of many contacts. I've been watching.” Jun answered. He was willing to let the taunting slide, he needed him. But it did not quench the brief disgusting turn in his gut, “There's a community of my countrymen in this part of the country. Where is it?”<br/><br/>“Sorry, I don't work with the Chinese.” the man sneered, returning his blade back to his cane. He turned back to his vats and hobbled among them. Jun followed.<br/><br/>“Not asking that you do or don't, just if you know where they are.” Jun continued to press. The man had a lying air to him. He felt he knew something, but he wasn't giving it up.<br/><br/>“I don't know.” snapped the brew master, growing clearly tired from the line of investigation, “You can come back home to Peking, any time.”<br/><br/>“I'm not about to be turned away, I want to know where they are.” the agent continued to demand, “But what if I offered something in return?”<br/><br/>“What could you possibly give me?” the German inquired. He was still mad, but for a brief second his rage subdued itself. It passed into the realm of curiosity.<br/><br/>“You look like your short on help. You trying to manage this on your own?”<br/><br/>The German furrowed his brows and shot a spiteful look at Jun. “Fine.” he said, “I do have problems, and maybe you can help.”<br/><br/>Jun nodded. Folding his arms in front of him he waited.<br/><br/>“I don't know if you witnessed it or not, but several days ago so thugs visited by enterprise here. They demanded protection money, and I said I won't pay it. I didn't believe they could do much, they were scrappy and confused pieces of shit. They're not the big mafiya or the Cossacks out west. So they left,<br/><br/>“Come back tomorrow, and it seems they drove off my employees.” there was bitterness in his voice, “I can manage it on my own for a while and my brother won't notice. But he has most of the muscle. I could call for him, but last I heard he was north in Tyumen.”<br/><br/>“Why Tyumen?” Jun inquired.<br/><br/>“I tried to tell him to not get in the way of you fucking Chinese, but he insisted. But I don't see the difference now: you're here. So all might well be lost.” he turned from a vat, scowling. Jun was still in the dark as to what he meant so he elaborated: “He believed serving the front of a war with whatever alcohol they wanted without affiliation would be a good business model.” he elaborated dryly, “Free market adventurism he called it. As if Russia wasn't an adventure already.”<br/><br/>“And you can't import your own into the country?”<br/><br/>“Would you want to try?” the German shot, “The price jumps exorbitantly, no one wants to take the risk to move it in. And neither he or I are in a position to manage the supply into the country ourselves. Russian home-brew after the Tzar already took a big hit, so we figured there was a lack for quality and we moved in.<br/><br/>“But now we might be shut down, and I can't find willing help. Someone keeps murdering anyone who comes in for work and I think I'm marked.<br/><br/>“Take care of this, and I'll tell you where your Orientals are.”<br/><br/>“Fine.” Jun said, “So who am I looking for?”<br/><br/>“The Italian, I think.” the German muttered uncertainly, “And as if to spite me, he and his fucking bunch are down in Old Sarepta.”</div>"

The school looked a lot smaller than it did when he was younger. It was because <span class=""bb-i"">he</span> was bigger now. Bigger than this school, bigger than this whole goddamn town. He couldn't wait to leave this shithole behind and go back to D.C. as Senator Sanderson, elected in his own right.<br/><br/>Vote tallies were still coming in from the eastern part of the state, and the CSRA was Taliaferro's political base, but as it stood Sanderson had a comfortable eighty thousand vote lead over the governor. <span class=""bb-i"">Former</span> governor Jim reminded himself. Hamp Taliaferro resigned from the governorship two days after his arrest in Macon. He hadn't officially withdrawn from the senator race, it was too late to change the ballots, but he said he would not serve if elected. Even with that promise he still got a solid hundred thousand votes just based on name recognition alone. <br/><br/>He was elated when the news broke the morning after Taliferro's arrest. Everyone inside Georgia politics had known about Hamp's predilection for colored girls that were barely legal, but nobody ever really did anything about it. Jim's staff called it a lucky break, a huge misstep by Taliaferro and his people. But Jim knew the truth. The arrest and the sudden change of fortune for his campaign wasn't dumb luck or a slip-up by the governor. It was <span class=""bb-i"">him</span> who had done it. Jim rubbed the monkey's paw and made his wish, and it came true in the most horrible way imaginable.<br/><br/>The crowd gathered in the high school gym cheered loudly as Jim and Jenny stepped out on the stage. They waved and beamed at the crowd caught up in the moment. Jim held his arms up in an effort to call for silence. He finally got it after another solid minute of cheering.<br/><br/>""Thank you, Hawkinsville, for that warm welcome home. Y'all know how to make a hometown boy feel good!""<br/><br/>More cheers from the crowd. Jim smiled and played up the aww shucks angle. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked sheepish in the face of their applause.<br/><br/>""I have to admit, when it was getting down to the wire and I wasn't sure if I was gonna win... I was looking forward to coming back home for good. This is my hometown, and I am proud to tell the people in Washington that I come from Hawkinsville!"" <br/><br/>They ate that up as was to be expected. He beamed and hid any signs of contempt as their cheers and whoops subsided into silence.<br/><br/>"" I'd like to thank you and the voters of Georgia who have given me the awesome responsibility of representing them in Washington for the next six years. This is something I will not take lightly, this is something I will work hard at for six long years. Now, I'd like to speak a moment about my opponent, Governor Taliaferro--""<br/><br/>A score of boos filled with the gym, boos mixed in with a few racial slurs. Jim held his hands up and called for silence, doing his best to look solemn and serious instead of grinning widely as he spoke about the disgraced ex-governor.<br/><br/>""--Now we don't know what went on in Macon, and I chose to remain silent about it in the days leading up to the election. We still don't know the whole story and I did not want to comment on it without knowing the whole story. But I do know the former governor, and I will say that Hampton Taliaferro served the state of Georgia for over twenty years in the state legislature, in Washington as a congressman, and as governor. Both Jenny and I send our thoughts and prayers to both him and his family, including our new Governor McCall, as they go through this difficult time. God bless him and his family, God bless you all, God bless Georgia, and God bless the United States of America!""<br/><br/>An even louder round of applause mixed in with hoots and hollers. Jim walked to the edge of the stage and shook hands with people standing up and applauding him while Jenny blew kisses and awkwardly high-fived those near the stage with their hands out. They played it up with the crowd for a few minutes before retreating backstage.<br/><br/>""I can't wait to be back in Washington,"" Jim said once they were off the stage.<br/><br/>""Me too,"" a voice said from behind the Sandersons.<br/><br/>Russell and Robin Reed stood smiling behind them. Robin rushed over and kissed Jim on the cheek and hugged Jenny while Reed took Jim's hand and pumped it vigorously.<br/><br/>""We were watching results come in at home and decided to come down here to say congratulations.""<br/><br/>""Thank you, Mr. Vice President,"" Jim mumbled.<br/><br/>""It was a well-earned victory, Senator.""<br/><br/>Reed pulled Jim closer, his hands grabbing Jim's lapels on both sides. Reed was a half inch shorter than Jim, but the way he pushed people around and crowded personal space always made him seem much taller than he actually was. Reed reached out and adjusted Jim's necktie, speaking while he futzed with it.<br/><br/>""And let's not forget your promise to me, Jim,"" he whispered. ""The price of getting elected was your loyalty. I lived up to my part of our deal, now you need to live up to yours.""<br/><br/>""I will,"" Jim croaked out. ""I promise, Russ.""<br/><br/>""Good,"" Reed said as he let go of Jim's suit. ""Robin and I are flying back to Washington tonight. Enjoy Hawkinsville, enjoy the fact that you're just visiting and not back to stay permanently. And then come on back to D.C. because we've got work to do.""<br/><br/>Another round of congratulations from the Reeds. They took their leave and Jim watched them walk down the hallways of the school. Russell stopped just before they turned a corner and winked at him. Jim waved as they disappeared around the corner. He couldn't help but feeling like he'd made a deal with the devil. And like any deal with the devil, he got what he wanted at the price of his soul.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chicago</span><br/><br/>""Top of the third inning here in Rockford and the Mud Hens cycle back around to the top of the order. Left fielder Billy Carter comes back up to the plate. He drew a walk back in the first inning and parlayed that into a success by stealing second--""<br/><br/>The car radio crackled with static. Johnny Leggario adjusted the dial to make the signal clearer.<br/><br/>""--only batting around .200 since he was put in the Mud Hens' starting lineup two weeks ago, but the kid has made up for it with his legs. He's already snagged fifteen stolen bases in seventeen games. Todd sets and here's the first pitch... ball on the outside.""<br/><br/>""What's with the bush league game, Johnny?"" Mick Mahoney asked from the backseat. ""Let's listen to the Cubbies or Sox.""<br/><br/>""Cubbies are off today and I fucking hate the Sox,"" was all Johnny said.<br/><br/>Not listening to the conversation or the radio at all was Prussian Joe. He was in the front passenger seat looking across the street at the First National Bank of Chicago. The chubby little man held tightly to a notebook and pen, occasionally jotting down notes when he made an observation. The more Johnny worked with the German, the more and more he respected him. He was smart, but not like most crooks. Most guys were like Mahoney, idiots who kept trying and trying until they made a score. The smart ones were like Johnny and Bobby C., smart but their brains were more instinctual than any actual knowledge. It was street smarts more than anything. Prussian Joe with his constant notes and timing was some kind of criminal scientist.<br/><br/>""Two balls and no strikes. Here comes the pitch... it's popped up out into right field. Bradley gets under it and catches it for one out. That'll bring third baseman Matt Robinson up to the plate.""<br/><br/>""If we do this, we do this at night,"" Prussian Joe said after a few more scribbles in his notebook. Johnny turned the radio down so they could talk.<br/><br/>""If we go in during the day we don't have to crack the safe,"" Mahoney said from the back.<br/><br/>""Too much exposure?"" Johnny asked Prussian Joe.<br/><br/>""Ja. We'd need at least two men on crowd control, plus a day take means we still have a short window even with the alarm off. If we go in at night, say at eleven then we'd have over eight hours to crack the safe and cart all the money out.""<br/><br/>""Taking the bank here would entail more than CPD,"" Johnny said with a finger pointed down the street. ""Two blocks that way is the Murray Building and that's G-Man headquarters. If we go in during the day and it blows up in our face, we got half the goddamn FCB breathing down our necks.""<br/><br/>Johnny reached into his jacket and pulled out a roll of bills. He thumbed through it before pulling off two hundred dollar bills and passing them back to Mahoney.<br/><br/>""Johnny? That's... I can't.""<br/><br/>""It's not for you, <span class=""bb-i"">dummkopf,</span>"" Prussian Joe snapped. ""Go in the bank and set up an account. Try and get a good look at the safe while you are in there and see the make and model.""<br/><br/>Mahoney nodded and hurried out the car, crossing the street and disappearing inside the bank. Johnny lit up a cigarette and listened to the baseball game while Prussian Joe watched and timed how long Mahoney spent in the bank. <br/><br/>""Alarm system is inside,"" Johnny said as he blew smoke out the cracked window. ""Day or night, how do we get in and overload it before it gets tripped?""<br/><br/>The tubby little man bummed a cigarette off Johnny and pondered his question while he smoked.<br/><br/>""There's a circuit breaker halfway down the block that controls this part of the power grid. We'd have to trip the circuit breaker and then get inside to overload the alarm before the power can come back on.""<br/><br/>""What would be the timeframe on doing that?""<br/><br/>""Thirty seconds to a minute, I'd guarantee. That seems about the average response time from Chicago Power and Water when I tried something similar two days ago on the Northside. Whoever is monitoring the power grid, they can temporarily reroute power through another section of the grid until a worker gets out on site and fixes it.""<br/><br/>Johnny grunted. ""Not a lot of time.""<br/><br/>""If we can do it right, we'll have all the time in the world.""<br/><br/>Mahoney came out the bank and got back in Johnny's car.<br/><br/>""Safe looks doable. I'll need a few power tools to get into it right, but I can get into it without too much trouble.""<br/><br/>""You better not be talking out your ass,"" Johnny said as he started the car. ""Because I would hate to kill you, Mick.""<br/><br/>Mahoney squirmed in his seat. Johnny traded looks with Prussian Joe and had to suppress a laugh as he pulled out into traffic.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Blythe, California</span><br/><br/>""Fuck you, Redman!""<br/><br/>Jacob Tallchief resisted the urge to pound the drunk's face into the casino bar. Instead, he popped his knuckles and flexed his muscles.<br/><br/>""It's time for you to go, pal.""<br/><br/>Jacob grabbed the drunk by the scruff of his neck with one hand and started pushing him through the casino with the other. Jacob had a full six inches on the man, causing him to walk on his tip toes as he was given the bum's rush. A few of the gamblers on the playing floor stopped to gawk at the big Indian manhandling the little white man with the big mouth.<br/><br/>Outside, Jacob tossed the drunk across the parking lot. He banged against the pavement and slid up against a parked car. Jacob brushed his hands off and looked down at the dazed drunk. ""You're fucking banned, white boy. I see you in here again and I'll beat the shit out of you along with half my tribe.""<br/><br/>He turned away from the prostrate man and headed back towards the casino. The bright neon lights of the Tomahawk Casino lit up the desert night for miles around Blythe. Jacob went back inside and back to work. The crowd tonight wasn't too bad, a few dozen gamblers out on the floor and giving their money to the Tribe. Most of the people at the Tomahawk went for slots over cards and dice. Nearly everyone who stopped in here were just passing through to Sun City forty miles to the east. They'd lose a bit of money here and move on down the road, try taking their chances in the big city. Standing Bear created with the Tomahawk for the reason to siphon off some of Sun City's profit before the chumps even got there. <br/><br/>""Jake!""<br/><br/>Web Tallchief came up to Jacob and put a hand on his shoulder. Web was Jacob's cousin on his mother's side and part of the Tribe, even though he was half white. Web was five years older than Jacob, but Jacob had always seemed to be the older of the two in a physical and mental sense. Web was twenty-five, going on fifteen.<br/><br/>""What do you want, Webasha?"" <br/><br/>""Let me have some money, cuz.""<br/><br/>""Get your own,"" Jacob said as he took Web's hand off his shoulder. ""And what do you need it for?""<br/><br/>""Melanie,"" he said, nodding towards one of the chip girls on the floor. She was dressed in the stereotypical squaw outfit of leather, this outfit very revealing to show off her log legs and ample cleavage. Her blonde hair was put up and disguised by a black wig. ""She said she'd fuck me if I gave her twenty dollars.""<br/><br/>""Standing Bear told me not to let you fraternize with the girls anymore.""<br/><br/>Web rolled his eyes and pushed Jake. He was too solid to budge. The force instead pushed Web back from Jacob. ""That bastard. He knocked up that dealer Minnie last year and now I got a bastard half-brother. He can't control his dick, but I'm the one who gets in trouble.""<br/><br/>""He's the chief,"" Jacob said with a shrug. ""And being chief has its privileges. Now let me get back to work, cuz.""<br/><br/>Web shook his head and stalked off through the casino. Jacob watched him walk away before his eyes drifted towards Melanie. She laughed a little too hard at whatever the fat man at the blackjack table was say. Jacob caught her eye and winked at her. She flushed and mouthed the word midnight. That was when her shift ended. Jacob knew her crack to Web was a joke. She liked to tease him and remind him that she was something he couldn't have. That was because she was reserved for Jacob.<br/><br/>He looked out across the casino floor and the goings on. He was only twenty-three, but the casino and the Tribe were his birthright. The Tribe was officially known as the Augustine Band within the larger Cahuilla Indian Tribe of California. Currently, the Augustine Band numbered twenty and that included Web's bastard half-brother. Jacob's grandfather Nanuq Tallchief broke away from the Cahuilla's years before Jacob was born and formed his own offshoot. The official members on the tribe roll today were Nanuq's three children and their children. The Tribe would only expand when Jacob's generation had children, the restrictions were such that it would never go outside the descendants of Nanuq. Even though Jacob's mother was pure-blooded Cahuilla she still wasn't considered part of the Tribe. The reason for the exclusion was because all members of the Tribe got a share of the Tomahawk's profits at year end with the biggest share always going to the chief. The Tomahawk had elevated the Tallchief family from common Indian trash to upper middle class overnight, and the influx of cash into the city of Blythe had turned the family into local royalty. <br/><br/>""Jacob to management,"" the PA system announced. ""Jacob to management.' <br/><br/>Jacob cast one last long look at Melanie before he headed upstairs to the office. Standing Bear Tallchief, the head of the Augustine Tribe, looked down his large Roman nose at his nephew. If Jacob ever wanted to know what he would look like as a middle-aged man, he need not look any further than Standing Bear. His hair was still pitch black, but a shock of gray ran through the middle. His body was still muscular, but it was at the point where muscle started to become fat. He had a slight double chin that was becoming more prominent as the years passed. Jacob looked more like Standing Bear than he did his own father, which led to a lot of speculation as to Jacob's parentage.<br/><br/>Standing Bear had been more of a father to him than his own dad, and that was true of the entire Tribe. His grandfather's secession from the Cahuilla's was something to do with some petty feud between the old man and the tribal elders. His emotions got the best of him and he left with no plan or no inclination of what his family could accomplish. But Standing Bear had a vision. He fought and lobbied for years to get the Federal and State government to recognize the Augustines as its own band, and he and other tribal leaders from across the state worked non-stop to get the Indian Gaming Bill through the state legislature. To Jacob, Standing Bear was a true man because he provided. Not just for his immediate family, but the whole Tribe. When the old man died ten years ago, there was no question at all who would be chief. Who else but Standing Bear could be their chief?<br/><br/>""Jake, have a seat.""<br/><br/>Jacob complied and sat down in one of the plush chairs facing Standing Bear's desk. He could see the far-off glow of Sun City's bright lights through the window just over his uncle's shoulder. Standing Bear pulled a cigar from the box on his desk and offered Jacob one. He politely declined as his uncle lit up.<br/><br/>""I know you're busy, but I needed to talk to you about something before I go home.""<br/><br/>""Anything you need, chief. What's up?""<br/><br/>Standing Bear blew smoke rings above his head. ""I need you to put together a small crew. Maybe four of your cousins or brothers. The meanest ones, just for show.""<br/><br/>""What's going on?""<br/><br/>""We're having a sit-down meeting in Sun City in a few days with the casino guys. Their Board of Directors is going to be there, along with the Horde's officers.""<br/><br/>The Horde. Fucking trailer trash on bikes. Jacob had a scar above his left eyebrow because of a pair of brass knuckles from one of those redneck assholes. That attack had put the Tribe on the precipice of war with the biker gang two years ago, but Standing Bear managed to negotiate a truce with their president. Now the Horde stayed away from Blythe, and the Tribe stuck to the casino and the city.<br/><br/>""What's the play, chief?""<br/><br/>""Negotiations"" was all Standing Bear said. <br/><br/>""Anything else you feel the need to clue me in on?""<br/><br/>""No,"" Standing Bear said as he blew smoke rings towards Jacob. ""Just do as your chief says, Jake. If you can't do it, I'll get Web. Little Web hanging out with those bikers and mobsters, he'll feel like a real gangster.""<br/><br/>""I'll do it,"" Jacob replied with a sigh. He knew Standing Bear would never let Web handle anything so important, but he didn't want to put his cousin in the position to fuck it up. ""I'll get Sammy and Gene's boys. They look mean enough.""<br/><br/>Standing Bear stood and walked around his desk, motioning for Jacob to follow him out the door. <br/><br/>""If this comes out like I want it to, Jake, then you'll be my number two man here in the casino and everything we do outside of it.""<br/><br/>He wrapped a big arm around his shoulder and held him close. Standing Bear guided them out the office and downstairs to the casino floor. They walked together closely across the floor while Standing Bear talked over the din from the action.<br/><br/>""Big things are in store for the Tribe. Just follow me and trust my wisdom and you'll see. You can you do that, can't you?""<br/><br/>""Why not?"" Jacob asked with a smirk. He motioned towards the clang of slot machines and the clatter of the roulette wheel. ""Look where it's gotten us so far.""<br/><br/>----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Washington D.C.</span><br/><br/>""Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be making our approach into Andrews Field and will be landing in Washington in ten minutes.""<br/><br/>Robin Reed stirred at the captain's announcement and looked around the cabin of the plane. Russell was given the use of a private US Army Airforce plane for flights around the country. It was a shabby thing with two prop engines and a dozen seats. Even with Russell's small staff and secret service detail managed to make fill the cabin up with ease. The small enclosure meant there wasn't much privacy for the two of them, but they managed to take the two seats furthest from the front and out of earshot from anyone else.<br/><br/>""Did you sleep?"" <br/><br/>Russell was staring out the window, lost in thought. The look on his face was one she hadn't seen much, but she'd seen it enough to easily identify it. It was self-doubt. She reached out and put a hand on his shoulder. He stirred at the touch and looked back at her.<br/><br/>""I've been weighing the cost.""<br/><br/>Robin took Russell's hand and rubbed his knuckles with her thumb. The man beside her was someone nobody else ever saw. To the world at large, Russell Reed was a ruthless political animal who played legislatures the way a conductor played an orchestra. She was the one with the heart, the one who charmed and beguiled with her great compassion. The Washington wags called them Beauty and the Beast. The truth was that Russell's hardened image was partially an image. He condemned and belittled liberals and idealists along with the rest of the Southerners, but deep down his compassion and empathy was strong. So strong that he'd spent thirty years of his life keeping it down and keeping it hidden from everyone but her. <br/><br/>""What happened this week in Georgia is something that I can never undo,"" he said as he squeezed her hand. He made sure nobody was around before he softly said, ""I ruined a man's life, and I did it simply because he stood in the way of something I wanted.""<br/><br/>""And you got what you wanted. Do you want me to make you feel better by saying you did the right thing?""<br/><br/>""Yes,"" he said quickly. ""I want to know I did the wrong thing for the right reasons.""<br/><br/>Robin looked away from him and mulled that one over. This was another side of the Second Couple no one else saw. For all her warmth, Robin Reed was every bit as ambitious and pragmatic as her husband. Russell's yearning ambition was hard to maintain after forty years. She remembered him telling her the truth the first night they made love. Ever since his father's disgrace in local politics, young Russell was hellbent on being somebody and doing something. That constant, never-ending desire took its toll after decades. And every now and then she needed to feed that fire.<br/><br/>""Right and wrong they no longer exist at this level,"" she said as she gently rubbed the back of Russell's neck. ""Hampton Taliaferro was a drunk and a pederast. The only thing you did was show the world what he really was. You got Jim Sanderson elected, and you showed the president you still have influence. What does this do for your plan?""<br/><br/>""It can go forward without any changes,"" he said as he took her hand from around his neck and held it in his. ""And I've got a southern senator sworn to me. It's a start. With Jim on my side, I can create cracks in the Southern Caucus.""<br/><br/>""Good. You'll need Jim and every bit of that presidential trust for what comes next. Was what you did right? No, it was not right. But it was necessary.""<br/><br/>""'Things without all remedy should be without regard: what's done, is done',"" Russell quoted with a raised eyebrow. ""Is that the long and short of it, Lady Reed?""<br/><br/>Robin smiled as Russell pulled her close and kissed her cheek. She glanced out the window and saw the lights and skyline of Washington D.C. below. The city all lit up at night looked peaceful and still. From afar, it looked like a peaceful place and not the nest of vipers it really was.<br/><br/>""'By the pricking of my thumbs,"" she said as the plane began its descent over the city. ""'Something wicked this way comes.'"" </div>"

She shined a tiny light in his eyes for some medical reason he didn't understand. <br/><br/>Sahle was still dazed. The crash on the north lake road had left him scratched up, and his head was still spinning from everything that happened the night before. The Doctors, in the company of Sahle's friends, had kept him awake into the morning with questions, asking about what had happened and why Sahle had let Marc drive when the later was so chemically incapacitated. Only a few questions before, Sahle had admitted to his time with the Chinese prostitute, and that had sent an angry Aaliyah storming out of the room and back home to the Dead Man's Drink. <br/><br/>""We bought it."" Sahle answered deadpan about the cow. The nurse had big, brown eyes that gave him the feeling that she could see straight through his skull, so he avoided eye-contact.<br/><br/>""You bought a cow?"" she asked, her expression going from a scowl of impatience to a scowl of perplexion. Thick oil-black hair hung limp across her cheeks.<br/><br/>""Yes."" <br/><br/>""Why did you buy a cow.""<br/><br/>""I am thinking a cow is a investment that is good to make."" Vasily piped up in his typical facetious way. He was leaning against a steel locker in the corner of the room. ""That is why farmers are into buying them.""<br/><br/>""Were these men starting a farm then?"" the nurse snapped. Vasily shrugged.<br/><br/>""There was a man."" Sahle added. ""He sold us the cow.""<br/><br/>""I am thinking..."" Vasily rubbed his chin. Before he could finish what he was going to say, the nurse interrupted. <br/><br/>""Why was this man selling you a cow?"" <br/><br/>""I don't know.""<br/><br/>""Your friend is very sick in there."" she said sharply. ""We don't know why you did what you did last night, but we want some answers. Are you are aware that you are facing criminal charges? Us Armenians take our country seriously.""<br/><br/>""A friend of mine said to me that he saw a local man put his pecker in a rabbit's burrow."" Vasily warbled. ""So I know that your people love your country. But my friend here, he will not be facing the law.""<br/><br/>""What gives you that authority?"" The nurse argued, even more flustered than before.<br/><br/>Vasily shrugged. ""I am having no authority, but you will see that what I said is also true. My friend and me have other friends, and your hospital is knowing this.""<br/><br/>The nurse had reached her limit. She turned on her heels like a soldier on parade and blustered off into the conjoining room, leaving Sahle alone with Vasily.<br/><br/>""Vasily."" Sahle said. ""I have a confession.""<br/><br/>""That you left your sperms in Vladmira's toilet and stole her sniff?"" Vasily smiled. ""I am already knowing this, and she was not happy. But you are not in trouble.""<br/><br/>""I was angry."" Sahle lazily tried to excuse himself. <br/><br/>""Vladmira makes many people angry. She is a beautiful woman, so she can do this thing even when she doesn't mean to. Better than other people."" he paused for a moment, as if he was unsure whether or not to continue speaking. ""I am wondering though... what did she talk to you about.""<br/><br/>""Oh."" Sahle struggled to put the day before into focus. ""She offered... we didn't talk about much. Chess.""<br/><br/>""That is strange. It is not the foreplay I would have been expecting."" Vasily rubbed his chin. ""But I am not knowing why she has shown so much interest in you.""<br/><br/>""Interest?"" Sahle was intrigued. Suddenly, he imagined being able to get with her all over again. In his mind, he pictured the perfect shape of her ass, and he felt his body stir just a little. <br/><br/>""She has been putting on the flirt for you. She has... eh... been around you and your friends a few times that were not expected."" When Vasily said this, Sahle remembered how Vladmira had been with them when they met the doll maker, and he saw what Vasily was getting at.<br/><br/>""I am not knowing, and so I will not know."" Vasily shrugged. ""Come now, we need to get you home so you can sleep.""<br/><br/>""No."" Sahle shook his head. ""I need to see Marc.""<br/><br/>When Sahle stood, he felt his head go light. He reached out helplessly at nothing at all, and Vasily grabbed his shoulders to steady him. ""You hit your noggin, that is what the doctors are saying. Be taking a breath now. It will pass.""<br/><br/>The room had a sickly cream color to it, like a porcelain sink that had never been cleaned. It permeated the tile floor and most of the walls. The furniture, for the most part, was simple and utilitarian. Aside from the sterile steel locker that Vasily had been leaning against, there was a bed that was little more than a cot with a thin mattress on it, a cabinet with a sink, and a banana-yellow chair stuffed under a window. <br/><br/>""Marc is sleeping. You should be sleeping to, I am thinking."" Vasily said. In the arms of the Russian, Sahle suddenly became aware that the back of his hospital gown failed to cover his ass, and the entire experience left him feeling both ridiculous and humble.<br/><br/>Sahle regrouped. ""I can walk now."" he told Vasily, waving him off. The Russian followed close alongside him anyway.<br/><br/>Sahle walked timidly through the halls. The hospital had the appearance of a place that was doing more business than it was used to. The staff looked stressed and overworked, and they moved as if they always had several other place's to be. The rooms were filled with the remnants of the drunken city-wide party from the night before. There were families too, walking the halls in search of the specific rooms that their loved ones occupied. Some spent a few seconds looking at Sahle before politely looking away, though the children often forgot that courtesy and just stared. Africans were not the norm in Armenia, and though they fit on the strip and in the slums just as much as any other expatriate, people from out of town were not used to seeing them. He did not care. He knew that racism against Africans existed, and he had seen it before, but it wasn't something that ever truly impacted his life. As an Emperor's son at university in Europe during his youth, racism had been represented by the pretensions of wealthy boys who still though of Africa as a place where monarchs lived in thatched huts and wore lion's pelts over their naked bodies. Their prejudice never did mean anything to Sahle back then; he even took a few of their sisters and mothers to bed. He had saw racism during his life in exile too, but it was a trifle compared to the life-or-death problems he so often faced.<br/><br/>So when these hospital visitors stared at him, or gave him lingering glances, he did not think about his skin color. He thought about his naked ass. <br/><br/>Once they had gone so far, Sahle knew that they would arrive at Marc's room at any minute, and an anxious tension began to build. What would he find? He felt partially responsible; it was his fault they had went out that night, after all. Sahle couldn't put out of his mind the look Marc had given him right before the crash. In that moment, with blood trickling out of his nose, Marc had looked like some sort of ghoul. <br/><br/>When Sahle sensed Vasily leading him toward a specific room, he felt his anxiety grow at an exponential pace. Time seemed to hinge on the approaching moment where they would turn the corner and look inside and Sahle would get his first look at his friend. And then, like taking a plunge into cold water, the moment happened.<br/><br/>Marc was asleep, and had been since the accident. His face was bruised up, and his hair was shaved where they had stitched up a wound. Yared was sitting in a yellow chair in the corner reading a newspaper. He looked up, and when he saw Sahle, he folded the paper and smiled. <br/><br/>""You should know better than to ride with Marc after a party, brother."" the bearded musician said before embracing Sahle. <br/><br/>""How is he?"" Sahle asked at once.<br/><br/>Yared looked over at the sleeping junkie. ""He took an overdose, friend."" He itched his head and stared for a moment, looking uncertain. ""I don't know much about these things, brother, I do not know at all. But they told me that he would need fluid? They are giving him that.""<br/><br/>Looking at Marc, Sahle felt the same feeling he had once reserved for Yaqob when they were children. It was not the comfortable love that he had for his mother, or the lust-laced fondness he had for Aaliyah. This brotherly love was a camaraderie: an absolutely complete trust in the other person, and one that came with an understanding that your brother trusted you just as much. It came with a burden of responsibility that had irked Sahle in his youth, and had caused some of the distance between Sahle and and his true brother Yaqob. But Sahle was older now. He had seen some shit during his time in the real world. Marc was an adult, and he was ultimately to blame for his problems. But had Sahle betrayed their brotherly trust by tempting him? It didn't seem like a sensible responsibility for Sahle to take - Marc found drugs, that was what he did, that was his specialty - but sensible or not, Sahle couldn't help but feel guilty.<br/><br/>The entire thing made his head hurt. <br/><br/>""I am thinking the doctors in Sevan have seen the drugs, eh? We might be saying that they are specialists!"" Vasily said, chuckling through the last few words.<br/><br/>""Marc will be fine."" Yared nodded. ""I will watch him here, friend, and if anything changes, I will call you at the Drink. I think you need to go back there and talk to Aaliyah.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Sahle nodded. ""Aaliyah. How mad is she?""<br/><br/>Vasily laughed. ""Your woman is full of anger now. I would be apologizing if I were being you, or else I am afraid she might be going down and shooting people, and I do not want to be put in the jail because I gifted her that gun.""<br/><br/>""I need to get my clothes."" Sahle said. ""Then I can go back.""<br/><br/>""I will drive you to that place."" Vasily said. And with that, they were done. Sahle found his clothes in his room and, once dressed, he rejoined Vasily on the street.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sevan cleaned up nicely. Only twelve hours earlier, the city had been drowning in booze and boozers, but there was no real sign of any of that left over now. The streets were clean and the dumpsters were empty, though Sahle couldn't imagine that the cleaners themselves had simply went to bed early to complete their tasks. They must have partied, and if they had drank as much as everyone else, they must have certainly worked through hangovers in the morning. <br/><br/>Vasily waited near the curb, steam rising from his beat up truck as it rumbled roughly in the crisp Armenian air. Even in the summer, Sevan seemed like a cold place to Sahle. He was used to the equatorial heat of Africa, but what Sevan delivered was cool summers and freezing winters. Was it how life was in the north? If this was the norm, and not simply due to the mountains, then how cold did Europe get? And Russia, for that matter? Sahle climbed into the truck and wrapped his legs in a blanket as soon as he was in.<br/><br/>As they pulled away from the hospital, Sahle noticed a thin plume of smoke rising in the north, and he pointed at it through the clouded windshield.<br/><br/>""What is that smoke?""<br/><br/>""The army games are finished, I am thinking."" Vasily answered. ""They have been doing the training exercises. Did you not go out to watch them? All of the other peoples in the city, they went out to watch them.""<br/><br/>""No."" Sahle answered simply.<br/><br/>""I went out."" Vasily paused to shift a gear, and when he did, the transmission whined like a mouse with it's nuts in a vice. ""There was nothing to be seeing from the shore. It was a waste of time for me.""<br/><br/>They passed through the city slowly, and Sahle watched the familiar scenery go by with dull interest. They passed the theater that had been shot up in the night, and Sahle found it amusing that the broken light-bulbs had already been replaced. The streets were quiet. Though the street cleaners and hospital staff were still on duty, many of the town's employees had the day off. The day before had been Independence Day. For some less necessary employees, two days off of work could be afforded. <br/><br/>They arrived at the Dead Man's Drink. Sahle felt nervous about Aaliyah. It was odd to him that, after spending so much time worrying about his obsession with Vladmira, it was the pussy he paid for in the Chinese den that got him in trouble. He tried to think about what he would say when he did finally talk to her, but his brain was all mush now. He would have to improvise.<br/><br/>Vasily followed Sahle and they went inside. The familiar smell of mildew and stale alcohol filled his nose. They walked down into the bar, stepping as soft as they could to dampen the groan of the shitty wood in the floors. <br/><br/>""I need a drink."" Sahle said. He was trying to stall, to avoid talking to Aaliyah as long as he could. He thought that, given some time, he would formulate the perfect excuse, and all of this would be over and they could go back to their lives. He sat at the bar as Vasily, taking the hint, went to find if there was anything easy that he could serve up for the both of them. As he waited, Sahle looked up at the corpse encased in glass above the bar. He stared into the leathery pits where it's eyes had once been and thought of nothing useful.<br/><br/>""Who are you?"" he heard Vasily say, and when he saw his Russian friend staring across the room, Sahle followed his gaze and saw a middle aged African man in a grey trench coat entering from the back.<br/><br/>The man had dark grey hair that he kept trimmed close to his head, and he had the coffee-brown skin of an East African. Seeing somebody from his own part of the world made Sahle feel nervous. It was rare for Sahle to see people that looked so identifiably East African, and when he did, a paranoia of being recognized always seemed to take over his thoughts. The stranger stared at him, and just like that his paranoia was starting to become panic.<br/><br/>""Well. I did not expect this."" the stranger said. Sahle's heart started to flutter. He felt like he was entering some nightmare, but was he? He was being ridiculous. This stranger greeted him, and he was responding by looking like a startled gazelle.<br/><br/>""Prince Sahle."" the stranger grinned. And there, with those words, the nightmare became real for Sahle. He stood frozen. What could he say? He had been identified. For the first time in three years, he had been called by his real name.<br/><br/>""I am not knowing any princes or Sah-lays."" Vasily answered for him. <br/><br/>The stranger looked wearily at the Russian. ""He is. I know the face. Hid it under a beard? That was a clever move, my prince. Your brother is looking for you, you know?""<br/><br/>Sahle remained still. It was as if his mind had been cryogenically frozen. No matter how much he tried, he could no longer string a thought together.<br/><br/>The stranger moved forward. Before Sahle could shake himself out of his shock, Vasily pulled a gun. The stranger reached instinctively for his belt, but once his hand had found its holster, it stopped. Vasily had the advantage. He had the stranger pinned at gun-point<br/><br/>""What is it that is going on?"" Vasily asked. ""I do not understand this game that we are playing now. Let us just end this.""<br/><br/>And then there was another voice. A girl's. ""Vasily, it is okay, this man is with me."" Sahle recognized it as Vladmira's. His head jolted to the side to see her walk in from another door. Vasily, completely baffled, holstered his gun.<br/><br/>""I am Assistant Director Amare Debir of the Ethiopian Walinzi."" the stranger announced. ""I was just as surprised as you, Vasily, when your associate Vladmira sent word that Sahle was living under an assumed name in Sevan. In all honesty, the Walinzi assumption was that he had died during a botched Spanish raid back in '77. But no, I see that he is alive now. And right here. Sahle, you are under arrest. Your brother would like to see you again. You have a lot to talk about.""<br/><br/>Sahle struggled to come up with an answer. All he could formulate was an awkward ""No!"" <br/><br/>""I am not giving you a choice."" Amare answered. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ziptie. He came up to Sahle and forced his arms behind his back.<br/><br/>""Vladmira. Is our boss knowing what you are doing with this bounty hunting?"" Vasily asked the beautiful blonde that Sahle, up until this moment, had been obsessed with. <br/><br/>""This one fell into my lap."" she answered. She was completely ignoring Sahle now. The time they had spent naked in bed hadn't even caused a polite interest in his existence for her. ""But I read the bulletins, Vasily. How did you have a fugitive Emperor under your nose for so long and not even notice.""<br/><br/>""I am not a bounty hunter."" Vasily replied in a low, defeated tone. <br/><br/>""I'm Samel."" Sahle finally managed to mumble the tired lie. ""That is my name. I am Samel. You have the wrong man.""<br/><br/>""Not a chance."" Amare said as he tightened the tie around Sahle's wrists. ""What type of name is that anyway? Samel? They both start with the same letter too. Not very creative, my prince.""<br/><br/>""Don't call me that."" Sahle blurted. ""I am not a prince.""<br/><br/>""Not anymore, you mean?"" Amare replied. ""You can't hide who you used to be. The past still exists, even if you don't want it to.""<br/><br/>A sound like thunder filled the room just then, and it was so loud that Sahle lost his hearing for a few seconds. At first, sound came back to him in the form of a shrill ringing. He was still intact, but as he regained his bearings, he realized that he was covered in blood. His body was numb. Was the blood his? A new fear pulsed through his limbs then; a fear that he was going to die. But where was the blood coming from?<br/><br/>He heard Vladmira's voice cry out. ""No!"" she shouted, but thunder rung again, not as loud to him this time, and he whirled around in his stool to see what happened. The first thing he saw was the Walinzi Agent's ruined corpse on the ground. His head was bloody, and it had a deflated look to it. Next to him was the lifeless body of Vladmira. Her eyes were looking up toward the mummified corpse on the wall with an expression of horror. Sahle looked over to Vasily now, but the Russian did not have a weapon in hand, and he was looking up toward the stage with an expression of bewilderment.<br/><br/>There, on stage where a microphone usually stood, was Aaliyah, wearing a white dress and with a smoking gun in her hands.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Vasily freed Sahle's wrists. They spoke no words at first. What had happened had happened quickly, but it had been powerful enough to change everything about every relationship in the room. When Sahle's hand were free, the first thing he did was to check himself for any wounds, but he found nothing except for blood. None of it seemed to be his own.<br/><br/>Aaliyah had fallen down into a heap on the stage. She was crying now, and the ceramic mask that covered the ruined side of her face slipped so that her real eye was not even with the fake one.<br/><br/>""Are you a prince then? No, I am not asking. You are. You make the face that says that the dead man told the truth."" Vasily broke the silence.<br/><br/>Sahle's throat was dry. ""I... I still need that drink.""<br/><br/>Vasily grabbed a beer and tossed it to Sahle. ""We need to get rid of the bodies. This man was an important man from your country, I think he will be missing and people will be looking into him being missing. This is what we will be doing. I will be getting rid of the bodies, and I want you to both lock yourselves into your room. Aaliyah, please don't be shooting the prince.""<br/><br/>""Why?"" she moaned. Sahle felt that one word from Aaliyah strike him like a knife in his chest. <br/><br/>""Because I am having uses for him."" Vasily said. ""The bounty is not interesting me, but I know a man will want to meet our Emperor drummer. Do not be killing him, or I will be very upset. I will hide the bodies, and I will be coming back for Aaliyah. She will be needing to hide with the other band people. I know where. I am fond of you, so I will make sure that you are safe.""<br/><br/>They followed his orders. He locked them in a room in the back, where they sat in the dark and Aaliyah continued to cry.<br/><br/>""I am sorry."" were the only words that Sahle could produce, and so he produced them. It felt like he was pissing into the wind, as if everything he tried to do to make this better would just come back to hit him in the face. ""I will make this right.""<br/><br/>She kept crying.<br/><br/>""I don't know what to do now, but we will get better."" he said.<br/><br/>She looked up at him with her misaligned eyes, one fake and one real. ""I don't know who you are."" she said. ""I... I murdered those people! But... I don't know you!""<br/><br/>""I'm still the same person."" Sahle tried to say.<br/><br/>""You lied to me! You always lied to me!"" she cried. <br/><br/>""I couldn't say who I was."" he tried to explain. ""I always wanted to, I've always thought that maybe things would change and I could go back home and you could be my queen.""<br/><br/>That did not help. She was still sobbing. ""I murdered those people for Samel! But there is no Samel! You... I look at you, and I don't know you now!""<br/><br/>""Just give me some time to make it up...""<br/><br/>""You don't get it!"" she yelled. ""Samel is dead! You are a stranger!""<br/><br/>They didn't talk after that. Vasily returned an hour later and took Aaliyah away, leaving Sahle lost in the dark. He wondered if he would ever see Aaliyah again, or Marc and Yared for that matter. He also wondered, as if from nowhere, whether or not he would ever see his brother and sister again. He had came close when the Walinzi agent arrested him, and he had nearly been caught by Taytu when they almost crossed paths at the Suez. Was this his last chance?<br/><br/>Vasily returned again, this time to collect him. Sahle had every reason to be suspicious of Vasily's motives. If Aaliyah had rejected him because of his secret despite the fact that just months before they had talked about getting married, then how would a mercenary like Vasily react? Was he about to be sold to another buyer like royal cattle? But what other choice did he have? The Walinzi knew where he was now, and his life in Sevan was in shambles. Vasily was the last option he had left to him.<br/><br/>They went out to the Russian's car and drove. They left Sevan, taking the northern lake road. A strange sense of Deja Vu gripped him as they passed the very place where Sahle and Marc had been in an accident the night before. There were even skidmarks in the road where it had happened. If they were taking the northern road, that meant they were heading away from the major cities of Armenia. Where were they going?

22202,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-11-16 17:22:00,Morden Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Mitcham, London</span><br/><br/>In the car park of Vestry Hall were half a dozen white vans, each dirtier than the next one, and a few old, battered station wagons. Right by the entrance was a large coach whose driver snoozed in the seat. It was the Jaguar that had been parked across the street that caught Ray Newman’s eye as he walked towards Vestry Hall. Whoever owned that <span class=""bb-i"">clearly</span> didn’t come from Mitcham. Newman brushed down his navy Harrington jacket and took one last glance down at the burnt orange polo shirt beneath it to make sure it wasn’t creased. He’d bought it this afternoon in town and had ironed it using boiled water in a pot. Once upon a time Yvette had done all his ironing. Now he had to make do with what little household items he had lying about. Once he was satisfied he looked presentable he walked up to the heavy doors of Vestry Hall and pulled them apart. <br/><br/>A dozen heads turned in his direction as he entered. There were men Newman’s age, boys barely out of school, and a few older men sat up at the front. Newman noticed the man on the leaflet, Edgar Francis, stood by the table at the front of the hall. Francis was dressed in a pinstriped double-breasted suit that was charcoal in colour and looked more expensive than everything Newman was wearing. On one of the man’s lapels was a pin in the shape of the National Front logo and its bright reds, whites, and blues contrasted with Edgar’s pale blue tie. Francis was a tall man, in his sixties, with a sense of majesty and seriousness about him that was reflected in his craggy, grave face. He had a full head of gray hair and a goatee that retained a few flecks of black.<br/><br/>Francis glanced towards him and nodded. Newman nodded back and upon finding all the seats taken took to leaning against a wall towards the back. Stood next to him was a young shaven-headed man in a denim jacket and a thick black overcoat that seemed several sizes too big for him. He smiled at Newman and Newman smiled politely to him as Francis shuffled behind the table at the front. A local man introduced Francis, noting his distinguished service in the Armed Forces and the success he’d had as a businessman and an author, before inviting Francis to speak. There was rapturous applause as he rose to his feet.<br/><br/>“First and foremost I want to thank you all for coming,” Edgar said in a crisp, cutting voice that spoke the King’s English better than the King. “I understand that some of you have travelled across London to be here this evening and it means a lot to me that you’ve taken that effort to hear me speak.”<br/><br/>There was another bout of applause and Francis reached down for a pint of ale at the table in front of him. He took a large mouthful of ale, glugged it down, and then wiped the moisture it left on his moustache with the back of his hand. <br/><br/>“I’d like to tell you that there’s not more work ahead of us, men. I’d like to tell you that the National Front <span class=""bb-i"">won’t</span> ask more of each and everyone one of you but I’d be lying if I did. We’re all here this evening because we <span class=""bb-i"">love</span> this country of ours. Not the kind of love that’s hidden away and only brought out on special occasions. The love you wear on your sleeve, the love you flaunt, the kind of love you’d fight and die for if it came down to it. The kind of love this government and previous governments have tried their hardest to stamp out.”<br/><br/>There had been loud cheers when Francis had spoken of loving Britain. The young man next to Newman especially had become particularly animated and clapped so loudly that it had hurt Ray’s ears. When Francis had made reference to the government the crowd had burst into a spontaneous volley of boos and hisses. Francis took advantage of each of those moments and would take another mouthful of ale as he waited for them to pass. The crowd seemed to love it. They looked past the double-breasted suit and his accent because he drank ale like they did. It was only then that Newman figured the Jaguar parked across the road likely belonged to Francis.<br/><br/>“We <span class=""bb-i"">told</span> them when they introduced the guest worker program it would lead to anarchy on our streets but did they listen? No, they branded us racists and tried to silence our voices. Now, decades later, they’ve realised we were right all along and are trying to roll it back. Well, it’s too late, gentlemen, the coloureds are here and they are here to stay. No <span class=""bb-i"">voluntary</span> repatriation is going to change that. If we want to do something about them, about them murdering police officers in our streets, we’re going to have to do it by force.”<br/><br/>There was venom in Edgar’s voice as he spoke of the coloureds. It sent a chill down Newman’s spine. He’d found himself nodding along with Francis somewhere in the avalanche of applause the other men laid on for him. Francis was saying what Ray had been thinking for a long time, even before Oldfield had been murdered, and it was exciting to hear it said out loud in a room full of people that agreed. Though there was something else. As much as it excited Newman there was something in Edgar’s voice that scared him. Ray couldn’t work out whether Edgar Francis was brilliant or dangerous. All he knew was that he agreed with every word that was leaving his mouth. <br/><br/>“They want us to believe the apex of the Troubles was the day the anarchists murdered the Royal Family, God rest their souls, but I say it started the day they let <span class=""bb-i"">hundreds of thousands</span> of coloureds onto British shores,” Francis gesticulated wildly as he spoke. “Until Native Britons can walk the streets of their cities safely again how can the politicians say the Troubles are over with a straight face? How can that <span class=""bb-i"">collaborator</span> Fraser Campbell tell us that Britain is safe when we have coloreds running our streets like animals and murdering policemen?”<br/><br/>Campbell’s name invoked the most violent response. Men stood up from their chairs so forcefully that the chairs were flung to the ground behind them. The skinhead beside Newman had even spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground next to them at the Prime Minister’s name. It had landed precariously close to Ray’s shoe and he glared at the young man and shuffled over half a metre or so.<br/><br/>“Force, gentlemen, force is <span class=""bb-i"">all</span> the coloureds understand,” Francis bellowed as he pushed a lock of grey hair out of his face. “The liberties that we enjoy in this great country of ours weren’t handed to us, they were won by men that were willing to fight for them against all comers, and unless we are willing to fight for them again we will lose them. Are we going to let that happen, men? Are we going to stand by and watch whilst it happens?”<br/><br/>The “no’s” the men screamed back were almost deafening. Feet in workmen’s boots, trainers, and shoes alike pounded the wooden floorboards of Vestry Hall in support of the man’s words. Finally Edgar Francis lifted one of his veiny, wrinkled hands into the air and the men fell silent in an instance. <br/><br/>“Then go forth from here and do <span class=""bb-i"">whatever</span> it takes to protect our country,” Francis said gravely as his eyes locked intensely on Ray Newman stood at the back of the hall. “Otherwise there won’t be a country to fight for in five years time.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Albert Dock, Liverpool</span><br/><br/>A flood of pain across his face forced Sebastian Hedland into consciousness and his eyes forced themselves open. They shut within half a second as the bright light that hung over him shone into them. A sickening laugh from in front of the journalist assured him he wasn’t stuck in some nightmare and the forceful hand that clamped around his mouth confirmed it. Seb could feel breath against his face but was too frightened to open his eyes again. It wasn’t until he felt a cold blade pressed against his stomach that he opened them and confronted the gravity of his situation. Stood in front of him was the ginger-haired man that had lead the raid on Daley’s Sugar Refinery and knocked Seb unconscious. That was the last thing that he remembered. Now he was strapped to a chair without any clothes on and with no idea where he was.<br/><br/>The man smiled as he noticed Seb’s eyes had opened. “I hate to interrupt your sleep but we don’t have all night, sunshine.”<br/><br/>“What’s going on here?” Hedland said as he looked around. “Where am I?”<br/><br/>The room was perfectly dark but for the man stood in front of him. The lamp that illuminated him was directly behind him and depending on where the man stood Hedland would be plunged into complete blackness or blinding light. In the distance Seb could hear the sounds of other people crying out in pain and the dull thud of fists pounding human flesh. He gulped nervously as the ginger-haired man held the sharp knife for Hedland to inspect.<br/><br/>“I’ll be the one asking the questions, if you don’t mind.”<br/><br/>“I’m not one of them,” Sebastian stammered as he eyed the knife. “I work for the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>.”<br/><br/>“You kept saying that,” the man laughed as he slid the knife over the journalist’s stomach. “Is that meant to mean something to me? You think working for some poxxy magazine is going to save you? The way I see it, working for a magazine got you into this little spot to begin with.”<br/><br/>There was that laugh again. It sounded like nails on a chalkboard. The man stepped into the darkness and returned several seconds later with a set of black and white photographs in his hands. He held the pictures in front of Seb’s face one by one.<br/><br/>Once he’d finished going through the pictures he picked up the knife again and slid it along Seb’s groin. “Where are they?”<br/><br/>“I don’t know who those people are,” Hedland said with a nervous shake of his head. “I’ve never seen them before.”<br/><br/>“Don’t lie to me,” the man said with an exasperated sigh as he reached for the photographs again. “Where are they and what are they planning?”<br/><br/>He went through them again, slower and more deliberately this time, and Seb tried desperately to look for something or someone he might recognise in them. Each was as alien to him on second viewing as they had been on the first one but he <span class=""bb-i"">knew</span> that wasn’t what the man wanted from him. There was a loud scream from somewhere and it made him jump in his seat. The ginger-haired man’s green eyes were boring into the journalist’s head and finally Hedland succumbed to the pressure.<br/><br/>“I <span class=""bb-i"">swear</span> I don’t know who they are.”<br/><br/>The man sighed and smashed the handle of the knife in his hand down on Seb’s fingers. There was a loud crunch and he screamed out in pain. The man asked again and Hedland could barely muster a whimper by way of an answer to it. Seb's captor shook his head and smashed at his fingers again. Seb’s mouth filled with blood as he accidentally chomped down on the inside of his mouth. It dribbled along his cheek as he glanced down at his broken fingers and whimpered in pain. Over the next ten minutes the ginger-haired man pounded on Seb’s slight frame with his fists. Each punch rattled Hedland’s body to its core. Once the barrage of blows had come to an end the man held Seb’s head aloft and breathlessly asked a final time time about the men and women in the photographs.<br/><br/>Through his swollen and bloodied face Seb muttered an answer that left his tormentor dissatisfied. He looked over his shoulder at someone and gestured to something in the corner of the room out of sight.<br/><br/>“Get the broom handle.”<br/><br/>Another man appeared and passed a broom handle to him. Through swollen eyes Seb spotted it and began to mutter barely comprehensible protestations. The ginger-haired man tipped Seb’s seat over and the journalist’s face clattered against the ground as his inquisitor disappeared behind him.<br/><br/>“Please,” Hedland muttered as he felt the broom handle’s searing pain. “Please… please no…”<br/><br/>It was a pain unlike any other Seb had ever felt before and it lasted so long that he had lost all sense of time. Once it was done he felt the blood trickle down his legs and the tears wash down his face. The man asked one last time and this time Seb managed but an exhausted head shake as the pain overcame him and he began to slip from consciousness. Even the searing light that shone in his direction dimmed as Hedland's world started to fade to black. He could make out the silhouette of his captor stood over him and the subordinate that had handed him the handle.<br/><br/>“It’s no good,” Seb's captor muttered dispassionately. “He doesn’t know anything.”<br/><br/>The other man tutted and reached for a weapon on his waist. “Should we kill him?”<br/><br/>“Don’t bother,” came the response as the ginger-haired man gestured to his colleague to holster his weapon. “He’s not worth the bullet.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham</span><br/><br/>Conrad Murray stirred his tea gently and watched as the dark brown liquid began to lighten. He lifted the mug to his mouth and went to take a sip of the tea before catching himself at the last moment. It was piping hot. He blew on it a few times as he carried it over to the table that Neil Durham was sat at. The staff room of Chelmsley Wood High School was empty but for the two men. Conrad blew on his tea a little more and finally ventured to take a sip of it. Durham watched on amused as Murray drew his tongue back sharply and set the mug down on the table.<br/><br/>“Are you alright, Conrad? You look a little rough this morning.”<br/><br/>“Thanks,” Murray said sarcastically as he touched the burnt tip of his tongue. “I was up all night trying to get Honor out of that bloody police station.”<br/><br/>Durham made a face and then looked down to the lesson plan in front of him. “Yeah, I heard about that.”<br/><br/>“Don’t give me that look,” Conrad said with a sigh. “They trashed our house, Neil.”<br/><br/>The older teacher took a deep inhalation of breath. Conrad watched as he saw Durham trying to piece together a response. “I just don’t think it’s a good idea considering the… current climate. People might have turned a blind eye to all of that before but since that police officer was shot down in London… It’s changed, people have changed, Conrad, they’re not going to take kindly to what they see as rabble-rousing.”<br/><br/>Rabble-rousing. Conrad gritted his teeth at Durham’s choice of words. West Midlands Police had come into his home, where Conrad and Honor laid their hands at night, and broken, smashed, and destroyed everything they could get their hands on. They’d even broken the only picture Honor had of her father Errol. She didn’t talk about her father much, all Conrad knew was that they had fallen out a decade ago, but he knew that her father meant more to her than she let on. He’d seen her face when she’d found the ruined picture. Just thinking about it filled him with rage. Neil looked at him with sympathetic eyes and Conrad felt his rage fizzle away into nothing. He reached for his mug of tea and took a careful sip from it. He and Neil spoke for a while about the day they had ahead of them, the football the night before, and their plans after work. The sound of someone clearing their throat in the doorway to the staff room brought their conversation to an end.<br/><br/>“Conrad?” Daniel Noble, Chelmsley High’s headteacher said with a polite smile. “Are you busy? I need a word with you.”<br/><br/>Conrad got to his feet, emptied out what little tea remained in his mug, and followed Noble out of the staff room. As he passed through the doorway Durham mouthed the words “good luck” to him and Conrad smirked. Noble was renown around the school for being a hard nut. He was a short, fat man that looked more like a council official than a headteacher and he carried himself like one too. His too-tight suit clung to his rolls of fat and his shoes were old and battered. Noble had no teaching experience of his own. He’d been brought in by the government to turn Chelmsley Wood High around. No one knew what the headteacher had done before but he was definitely not popular amongst the staff there.<br/><br/>As he took a seat in Noble’s office Murray looked up at the headteacher and frowned. “What’s this about?”<br/><br/>The office was plain but for a few certificates along the school’s ways that spoke to Noble’s education. He was the only faculty member at Chelmsley High outside of Conrad that had studied past undergraduate level. Murray had counted three others that had even attended universities. Even his prestigious education didn’t seem to match up to Noble’s schooling. There were certificates from Cambridge and Harvard that had price of place. Murray was staring at those when the headteacher’s deep voice answered back.<br/><br/>“We’ve had some complaints from some of the parents, Conrad.”<br/><br/>Conrad sighed. “Is this about what happened yesterday?”<br/><br/>“Look, I understand that you aren’t responsible for the actions of your partner and I’m sure she believed her actions were justified but we can’t have her bringing the school’s name into disrepute. God knows that we have enough of a mountain to climb to salvage the school’s reputation without giving people even more reason not to send their children here.”<br/><br/>“What are you saying?” Murray said as he ran a nervous hand through his beard. “Are you letting me go?”<br/><br/>Noble smiled and shook his head. “Of course not, we can’t afford to lose a teacher like you over something like this, Conrad, but let’s consider this… an unofficial verbal warning, shall we? A very gentle slap on the wrists if you will.”<br/><br/>It was wrong. Everything was about this was wrong. Conrad and Honor had been targeted because of the colour of his girlfriend’s skin and now Conrad was being punished because Honor had refused to take it lying down. Worst of all was that Noble was smiling at Conrad as if he was doing him a favour in “only” giving him a slap on the wrists for it. Conrad wanted to give Noble what for but he knew the fat man held his career in his hands. Instead he nodded dutifully and pushed himself up from his seat with his hands. Conrad had made it to the door with his hand wrapped around the handle when he changed his mind.<br/><br/>He clutched onto it and mumbled without turning. “What kind of message is this sending the kids?”<br/><br/>Noble looked up from his desk at Conrad with a raised eyebrow. “I beg your pardon?”<br/><br/>The young history teacher turned to face his boss with his hand still wrapped around the handle. Noble stared at Conrad as if waiting for him to repeat his question and Murray stood silently and matched his gaze. After a few seconds Noble let out a sigh and shook his head. His stomach wobbled with it. Murray watched as the headteacher leant back in his chair and placed his feet up on his desk.<br/><br/>“I’m your best friend at this school, Conrad, though you might not believe it,” Noble shrugged with a smile. “Half of the Board of Governors wanted you gone the second your girlfriend’s little stunt got underway but I managed to talk them out of it. Making an enemy of me would be a very bad decision.”<br/><br/>Murray's shoulders slumped and a repentant look appeared on his face. Without a word he disappeared through the door of Noble's office. As he wandered through the halls of Chelmsley Wood High School he replayed the conversations he had with Neil Durham and Daniel Noble over and over ahead in his head. For the first time in years, Connor Murray started to wonder whether the righteous indignation he'd been carrying with him was misplaced.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>Along the walls of the Ministry of Defence were portraits of Britain’s great military leaders over the years. Fraser Campbell sneered at the last, a portrait of Owen Pyke, as he passed through into the office of General Sir Jonathan Markham-Powell. As Fraser entered into the office he spotted Markham-Powell seated behind a large dark brown wooden desk. The title “Chief of Defence Staff” was engraved into a nameplate on the front of Markham-Powell’s desk. Upon spotting Fraser enter the room the general took to his feet and saluted. Markham-Powell was in his late sixties and his military uniform adorned with countless medals did little to disguise the still gym-fit body beneath it. The general had lost his hair young but had resisted the temptation to fashion what remained of his hair into a comb-over. There was an air of geniality to Markham-Powell that had always put Fraser Campbell at ease. Their meetings were one of the few duties that the Prime Minister looked forward to. Campbell gestured to the general to take his seat as he approached.<br/><br/>“Please, Jonathan, there’s no need for that.”<br/><br/>Markham-Powell flashed the Prime Minister a smile and sat back down. “You know what they say about old habits.”<br/><br/>Fraser took the seat opposite the general and loosened his tie with a relieved sigh. Ostensibly he was there to discuss the progress of the British campaign in South Africa but he was intent on taking this rare moment of privacy to relax. Once he was done with Markham-Powell there were another six meetings for the Prime Minister to get to and the events of the past few days had exhausted him enough as it was. He’d have to deal with aides, advisers, and disgruntled Cabinet members until late into the evening and that was just the things they had planned. Chances are with the luck that Fraser was having recently <span class=""bb-i"">another</span> police officer would be shot whilst he was talking to Markham-Powell. <br/><br/>Once he was comfortable the Prime Minister looked to the general and smiled. “How’s the new gazebo coming along?”<br/><br/>“Splendidly,” Markham-Powell said with an appreciate smirk. “It should be done within the week. As always with these things it has overrun a little and the estimates we were given were quite some way short but the wife seems happy enough with it. That’s all that matters at the end of the day.”<br/><br/>The general lived for his wife as much as Campbell and the pair had been married for nearly fifty years. Campbell hoped that he and Joyce would wear their love on their sleeves as proudly as Jonathan and Hortensia Markham-Powell wore theirs. On the general’s desk were several pictures of his wife and he on their travels and another of a young man that Campbell did not recognise. <br/><br/>“Whilst we’re on the topic of things that have overrun,” Fraser said glibly as he reluctantly veered back on topic. “How goes our campaign in South Africa? The last time we spoke you assured me that things were going well and yet I hear from my man Hobbs that there’s bad news out of Cape Town.”<br/><br/>Markham-Powell nodded. “I’m afraid so, sir, the whole thing has proved <span class=""bb-i"">far</span> more complicated than we’d imagined. We had hoped that with the support of the Dutch Afrikaaners that make up most of the country’s ruling elite we’d have taken South Africa in weeks. The natives have proven more resilient than we’d imagined, they seem to have a better understanding of the terrain than the Dutch, and have dug themselves in.”<br/><br/>“Any chance the Ethiopians involve themselves?”<br/><br/>“No, sir, I don’t see the natives holding out in South Africa long enough for that to be viable,” Markham-Powell said bluntly. “The Ethiopians have problems of their own at the moment and getting involved in South Africa would only increase those problems tenfold.”<br/><br/>The Great War had reduced Britain to a shadow of its former greatness and the Troubles had meant to world had left Britain behind. Once the British Empire laid claim to two-thirds of the world and now Britain was an afterthought. Decades of civil war and infighting had left the nation inwards looking, technologically backwards, and indifference to the goings on of the outside world at the best of times. King William had lobbied Campbell <span class=""bb-i"">hard</span> to invade South Africa and it was made clear to the Prime Minister by Moore’s faction that non-compliance with the order would result in his deposition. The King’s justification for the invasion was that it would restore some national pride to Britain. So far all it had done for Campbell was caused him innumerable headaches at great expense to the public purse. Plus the Prime Minister now lived in constant fear of the Africans turning their ire towards Britain.<br/> <br/>“Well, that’s reassuring at least,” Campbell smiled as he pushed his thick lensed glasses up his nose. “The sooner this thing is over the better for everyone. We can’t afford to keep pouring money into South Africa if there’s no end in sight. God knows Britain has enough problems of its own too.”<br/><br/>“It’s interesting that you say that,” Jonathan muttered tentatively. “I had a discussion with some people from the Palace this morning,” <br/><br/>Fraser could feel his heart in his mouth as he gestured to the general to continue. “Go on.”<br/><br/>“Word seemed to have reached our King of a particularly <span class=""bb-i"">troubling</span> murder.”<br/><br/>“PC James Oldfield,” Campbell sighed as wave of relief flooded over him. “We’re doing everything we can.”<br/><br/>Markham-Powell shook his head. “No, no, not Oldfield, another one. A man by the name of Errol Clarke was murdered in Brixton the morning after Oldfield was shot.”<br/><br/>Campbell’s face flushed red. He had no idea who Errol Clarke was. There was <span class=""bb-i"">nothing</span> that the King and the Chief of Defence Staff knew that the Prime Minister shouldn’t be privy to already. He searched the recesses of his mind silently for some forgotten reference to Clarke or a murder in Brixton that morning. There was none. Campbell’s memory was second to none. If the Prime Minister had been told about it he’d know about it. Suddenly he became aware that he’d been silent for too long and smiled in Markham-Powell’s direction modestly as he searched for an excuse. He couldn’t find one.<br/><br/>“I’m afraid this is the first I’m hearing of it.”<br/><br/>Markham-Powell looked at him with eyes that betrayed a fatherly disappointment. “Yes, well, King William was <span class=""bb-i"">very</span> concerned when he heard about it. It’s one thing to send them home, sir, but another to have them murdered on our streets in the middle of the afternoon. I believe the King is concerned that if things like this keep happening that people might believe we don’t have a handle on the situation. He might be minded to make some <span class=""bb-i"">changes</span> were such a perception to become widespread.”<br/><br/>It wasn’t a threat. At least if it <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> a threat it definitely wasn’t coming from Markham-Powell. To the best of Fraser’s knowledge the general thought as highly of him as Campbell thought of Markham-Powell and their relationship had never been anything but cordial. There was concern in the general’s tone, real concern, like he was trying to warn the Prime Minister of the danger he was in. Changes. It was a diplomatic choice of word that belied the true nature of what the Palace had intimated to Markham-Powell. If Campbell didn’t get a hold of the situation he’d be ousted. King William would remove him as Prime Minister and appointed someone else. That would be the end of Fraser Campbell’s political career, the end of his time in public life, and <span class=""bb-i"">most importantly</span> the end of any hopes he might have at building the kind of Britain that the British people deserved. One where King’s didn’t discuss changing Prime Ministers as one might would changing their underpants. <br/><br/>“Who informed the Palace if you don’t mind my asking, General?”<br/><br/>“Who else? Thomas Moore,” Markham-Powell smiled knowingly. “I believe the Home Secretary lunches with the King at least once a week.”</div>"

The patter of rain was a constant. A cruel nonstop that Sen Zhou watched with her arms wrapped underneath the raincoat draped over her shoulders. But even in the beating rain of the wet season the humidity had miraculously failed to let up, and with rain pouring in buckets just outside the flap door she still felt like she was swimming in a warm soup. Uncomfortably playing with the collar of her unbuttoned uniform under neath she tried to let herself breath just a little more as she watched similarly coated enlisted men dash through the mud. Along the runway just a hundred meters away a plane bearing the insignia of Ethiopia's military came to lumber down from flight among the mid-summer's rain. She could watch the plumes of running water erupt from underneath as the landing gear cut a swathe through the rain-drenched runway.<br/><br/>And somehow she found herself preferring the tropical consistency of the Philippines. At least during her service then the rain did not come down so hard for most of one month. And though it flew against her training and education, she found herself condemning whatever God had chose to throw the rain at them the day after the met with Yaqob.<br/><br/>She had had her hopes up then, but now they were drowning in the prospects of a pleasant, brief tour in Africa. “What a terrific July.” she groaned despondently as she cast a angry look to the thick storm clouds overhead. They hung so thick overhead it was like looking into a concrete wall, and there was no end nor beginning with them.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” her commanding officer called out. Zhou turned on her heels and sloshed across the even flooded floor of the tent. A heavy plastic sheet had not done much to make the impromptu command post any better. Though it had guarded against the mud the flow of rain had someone managed to find a way in and had caused wide shallow puddles to form.<br/><br/>Dezhi Cao was not in one of his better moods as he leaned over the flimsy aluminum table thrown down in the middle of the tent. It was placed even more skewed and precariously to dodge leaks in the roof of the tent. His round face glowered down at a map of the city and a notebook as rainwater dripped from his wide brow. With his hair and brow wet, it made Zhou think of his head as a water-downed boulder from a river; and it made her laugh.<br/><br/>Chen Wu stood nearby, his palms resting against the table as a drenched raincoat fell plastered to his black great coat. The IB uniform must have be incredibly uncomfortable in this condition, and for only a second Zhou found herself feeling bad for the bastard.<br/><br/>“I want to make preparations before it's too late.” Cao said. Zhou thought she could hear a little bit of worry in his voice. Some wavering tone that was as if he was trying to hold back his fear of the Spanish army beyond the highlands.<br/><br/>“The Ethiopians last I heard are setting up to hold Dire Dawa, if we're going to help them with their humanitarian problems then now would be a good time.” he continued, adapting a straight face, “So, uh- I think we should do this in a couple phases.”<br/><br/>Chen Wu looked up from the table. “What's your plan?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Right now, we move out groups that want to flea the country now. This will be our phase one lift. They'll refuge on Pemba for the time being in the even the Ethiopians do repel Sotelo's men in the highlands. But as soon as they break through and are making real progress we initiate a second phase lift. It'll be a second chance to move out anyone else who doesn't want to get caught in the cross fire. We'll begin forwarding who we have in our custody to China after.<br/><br/>“Our third phase is when the Spanish are here. It's the last chance and when we pull ourselves out and fallback to Pemba, pending support from Asia itself.<br/><br/>“So, doable?” he asked uncertainly. He looked between his two present commanding officers with a look of repressed anxiety. To Zhou, he almost looked like a private waiting to get flailed for something or other.<br/><br/>“Do we have preferences?” asked Chu.<br/><br/>“Ah- uh. No, not really.” Cao answered, shaking his head, “If we were really to target any groups I would recommend we move women, children, elderly, students from the city. We'll leave the city to the militia and the army if at all possible.<br/><br/>“I don't want to be under-prepared either, so if this is what we're going to do I'll radio back to Pemba for the rest of the transports to fly in so we don't become over-burdened. We're going to tell our target groups now and begin the lift tomorrow.”<br/><br/>“A regular North American airlift.” Wen Chu smiled, but there was a sarcasm in that voice of his, “Fine by me, I don't see any problems. But I'm not Huang Xianwu.” he admitted.<br/><br/>“Fair enough, Zhou?” he asked, turning to his second in command.<br/><br/>She traded him for a reserved look. Chewing on her lip she tugged at her undershirt from under her poncho and gave a unopinionated shrug, “Go ahead.”<br/><br/>“Two for, a great unanimous victory.” chuckled Cao, “Very well, if we are united in this we need to advertise it to our core groups. I'll see what I can do to speak with the university.”<br/><br/>“I don't have any particular qualms where.” Chu said, “But if it might not be any trouble I'll go to the hospitals and talk to the doctors. We might be able to withdraw some patients and free up beds for when the fighting starts.”<br/><br/>“Excellent, excellent. Comrade Zhou?”<br/><br/>Zhou looked up at Cao and thought. “Where do you need me?” she asked.<br/><br/>“Request that you can get on the radio?” her CO asked.<br/><br/>“If we can do that then why bother going to the people directly?” she asked. She was already confused.<br/><br/>“In the event it doesn't reach the widest range.” the commander assured. But he was trying, that much Zhou could see. Chu looked to be playing along, “If they didn't hear it in broadcast, then we'll be there. They'll talk.”<br/><br/>“I think I can see it.” Zhou was too used to being in a fight and drilling than she was trying to communicate. But if she was to be forced into it, so be it. And to her surprise she found herself wondering if there was something in lapse somewhere.<br/><br/>--------------------------<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Addis Ababa university</div><br/><br/>With rain dripping from his overcoat, Cao stepped into the student commons. By his side an attendant professor hovered nervously, closing a black umbrella up as the heavy wooden doors to the central commons shut with a loud bang. His face was gaunt, but not old. He gave the Chinese officer a great deal of caution, as if afraid. But even Cao had seen in his eyes something different: a sort of jealousy. To what reason it was there Dezhi Cao could not put his finger on it.<br/><br/>The young coffee-skinned African professor had introduced himself as Adom, and he worked for the university's aerospace department. Having called ahead of time he was the first – and only man – to great the officer at the great African baroque gates of the university. He had been the one forced to explain the situation to Dezhi Cao and the mood of the student body.<br/><br/>He had even tried to dissuade him. Cao had dismissed him wholly.<br/><br/>But now they were in the heart of the student commons. Outside the rain still fell and it came down in sheets against the tall glass windows of the lobby's outer wall. Interspaced with regularly distanced pillars inside and out, the entire structure had a classical air, speaking of some great connection to the Egyptian world with a more African heritage. The building, and the main body of the college had been built to look like it had stood in its present location for not just generations, but the greater part of the passed century and beyond and called from the past the mythical legacy of Ethiopia to be reborn in the modern age.<br/><br/>In its way, it reminded Cao of the officer's school in Nanjing.<br/><br/>Dezhi Cao breathed a deep sigh as he looked out onto the commons. Young men and women lounged across recliners. But much of the sense of academia had withdrawn from the grounds and was instead replaced by staunch national solidarity. The Ethiopian flag with its golden lion hung like royal and pride-filled curtains from the walls, there was music, and there was talk.<br/><br/>Walking alongside him, Adom asked: “Nervous?”<br/><br/>The Chinese officer looked about him, the handful of guards he had brought with him loitered a safe distance behind, with their arms crossed behind their backs. Their rifles hung from their shoulders as they looked out at the room. Already they were attracting the stares of the student body, and slowly after their arrival the voices died to a murmur as all attention was drawn to the foreign interlopers.<br/><br/>“Now would be your time.” Adom encourages, separating himself from Cao.<br/><br/>Dezhi Cao did the only thing he could think of to begin: he bowed. “Comrades,” he began, “I am shang hsiao Dezhi Cao, commander of the Pemba Training Group.<br/><br/>“Recently, as of command of Beijing and given the acceptance of your emperor, my unit is committed to the humanitarian and auxiliary support of your people's military in the capital city. In the wake of pressing threat by the Spanish military on Ethiopian shores we offer passage from the country and to China, where you will you be awarded residency by the People's Congress for the duration of the conflict. This offer extends to any individual who wishes to seize it.<br/><br/>“Starting tomorrow, we will execute the first flights from Ethiopia to Pemba, ferrying any parties unwilling to be caught in the middle of the conflict. In the future, should the Spanish threat grow more pressing you will be flown to China. To Lhasa, from there my people extend their hospitality and offer to relocate you within China for your peaceful tenure as guests of the Chinese state.<br/><br/>“Upon the war's conclusion, you may return. You have on this, our solemn promise that Africa will prevail, but you need not be caught in the middle of the inferno of conflict.” Dezhi Cao paused to catch his breath and collect himself. He could feel the weight of the room on his shoulders as he held the attention of much of the student body. They looked on at him, judging him as he stood at the edge of their world. He wondered if he should step deeper into it and to be more one with them. But the safety and security of being nearest to his countrymen along the wall behind him kept him sealed to the spot as he sweated through his speech.<br/><br/>“We demand no re-compensation, we place to expectations. Just that if those among you do not wish to be victims of conflict and to loose too much, that you see to our offer. We will be present to help and to assist until the final hour.” he felt the tug of his strings as he spoke those final hours. He became again acutely and morbidly aware of the most severe of situations.<br/><br/>He hoped the rain could hold up long enough that no one had to suffer if it got worse.<br/><br/>The air in the room hung silent. It tensed against Cao's nerves.<br/><br/>Standing, a student in the back rose to his feet: “We will die for the motherland!” he declared in a singing voice, “For the land that brought us into this world, we will persist for it! Long live Ethiopia!” he trumpeted. The room exploded into a triumphant chorus as martyrs stood and sang, in active defiance to the Chinese officer who could do naught but watch.<br/><br/>“I warned you.” Adom said, as he walked up to Cao's side.<br/><br/>“You're all a nation of martyrs.” Dezhi Cao gaped in awe, “A nation of insane, suicidal martyrs.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Novosibirsk</div><br/><br/>The papers shuffled with mouse-like softness as a set of files were moved across the desk. At the bear desk, Angua poured over a stack of musty manila folders as he scanned the pages and the names within. A pad of paper at hand was swelling with the burgeoning waterfall of names he considered to be leads. The task it seemed was growing daunting and his diligence felt challenged.<br/><br/>The pain of it was growing duller over time. What had felt like the long road to tedium became slowly a resentful march to nowhere as the time ticked by. Outside the windows life went on in Novosibirsk. And beyond the Siberian capital the front was still moving. Last he checked, stalwart resistance had broken out on the road to Yekaterinburg and Huei Wen was held up at any number of villages.<br/><br/>The only break to the waspish ticking of his pen and the scratching of dry paper was the occasional breaks afforded to him by his intelligence subordinates seeking regular authorizations. Or as they crawled ahead the agents that had slept in the Russian Republic rejoining the main force. An Angua had become in that effect a pathway home and the nearest commanding officer to debrief to before reporting home. He had collected notes of those as well. A venerable richly loaded library was being constructed by Angua to serve in his hunts.<br/><br/>The main door to the room crept open, the pained moaning of the hinges brought Angua's eyes up to level at his guest. Turning through the door, the dragon-faced IB agent let himself in, a short stack of personnel files in his arms. He glowered down at the seated agent with a cold venomous look as he walked over.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” he greeted bluntly, pushing the files onto Angua's desk, “Found anyone?”<br/><br/>An Angua looked up at him, then down at the growing list by his wrist. “Yeah.” he shot directly.<br/><br/>The dragon man nodded, “May I sit?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Go ahead.” Angua waved.<br/><br/>The other bowed, and pulled up a metal chair. The room was bare and naked, very few effects – if anything – decorated the room. A thin snowy sort of dust drifted about in the fiery daylight. “I've perhaps found a few, I was wondering if there was any chance you got information on any affiliates we could corroborate on.” dragon face remarked. He narrowed his eyes to reptilian slits as he watched Angua scribble down another name.<br/><br/>“Sure.” shrugged Angua. He passed a cold look passed to his bald partner and withdrew it to his diligent work.<br/><br/>“Fyodor Trobesky.” the man said, “Does it turn up at all for you? He had a long list of supposed accomplices, but none that I could tell were officially investigated, but there were more names on his list of affiliates whose files I didn't have. Any turn up for you?”<br/><br/>“No.” replied Angua, “But who is this Fyodor?”<br/><br/>“Some former Cossack, grand father fought for the Emperor during the uprising. Was last registered to living out around Tyumen. Fought for the former Novosibirsk warlord before he was overthrown, he drops off the radar soon after when he was about to go on trial for some murder charge. He's believed to have had Ressurectionist affiliations and had a long list of family contacts, apparently his name is well affiliated with some old oligarchs.”<br/><br/>“If that's the case then I imagine he left the country a long time ago. He might be a dead end.” Angua suggested.<br/><br/>“Well you see: I would have thought so but he did stick around for some time when Russian went to hell and back. But he wasn't a man tied to Moscow or Saint Petersburg where a lot of his ilk lived, but they all left the country at the first whiff of trouble. His older brother is reported to be living in Spain off his family's copper wealth but he never did. Either he was too low on the family food chain, or he had something here in Russia still.”<br/><br/>Angua nodded, “Sounds like a theory.” he remarked.<br/><br/>“I rather like it myself, he's been occupying a part of my mind for a while.” smiled baldy, “Do you want to know another?”<br/><br/>Angua looked up, and hung his heavy gaze on the dragon-faced IB agent. Like a block of steel he anchored his eyes on him. There was a suspicious tone to his voice. He was ready to be dismissive, but then he felt the cold nip of jaded morbid curiosity he had something that he needed. There was a smug plastic look in his face as he leaned in his chair. “What is it?”<br/><br/>“This operation of yours: it isn't officially sanctioned is it?” he asked.<br/><br/>“How do you mean?”<br/><br/>“I mean, since you rounded us up personally and you've never left the operations center – even to be close to your commanding generals operational sphere, working on the edge – and there hasn't been any incoming messages from Beijing for the greater part of operations I get the suspicion that no one's said to do this. Does Huei Wen know you're doing this at all?”<br/><br/>Snakes coiled in Angua's gut, he had a pretty clear picture. Was this that transparent? “Fascinating idea. Suppose it isn't official, would it make it any less valid?”<br/><br/>The dragon tattoo slithered and twisted as he smiled, “No, it wouldn't.” he remarked, “Sometimes, you have to do it unofficially. Have you heard the allegations that it was the IB who murdered Kim Il-Sung? That was the right move, but of course no one knows. Even better.”<br/><br/>Angua nodded. “How much about any of us do you know?” the agents across the desk from him inquired.<br/><br/>“Huang Li Wong, age 41.” began Angua, reciting dry and direct from memory “Served in the Second Peoples Liberation brigade, service in Southern China. Engagements of commemoration: Luding Bridge engagement, siege of Nanjing.<br/><br/>“After service you transferred to the Municipal Police Force of Shanghai, your father's city of origin. After five years of exceptional service in the investigation squad you were identified by the IB as a choice candidate for the investigation of home-bound reactionary armies who had moved activities to south-central China.<br/><br/>“You investigated the Red Guard Gang before being reassigned to Russia during the VX incident, you investigated Russian industrial centers to confirm the Russian assertion that they actually did not possess VX. You instead brought home the recipe for a weaponized, flammable substance being developed in Russian labs; they called it Napalm.<br/><br/>“Your tattoo is an effect of investigative action against organized crime and was a result of a prolonged assignment against the Triad-3 group.”<br/><br/>Huang Li Wong laughed, a bright enamored chuckle, deep like a ravine. “I never understood why they called themselves the Triad-3 but that's right.” he cackled, “But why did I keep the mark?”<br/><br/>“No doubt you find it terrifying to people. It's prevented you from a lot of field work. You've mostly did scouting after because of it, or cases where subtly or having no distinguishable features is preferred, loud things that the IB considered public.”<br/><br/>Wong nodded along, playing up his wide toothy grin, “And I think it worries some of these Russians, or back then it did.” he joyously sang, “Made the superstitious ones afraid. I've been called a pagan demon at least several times shaking a few down. But I like it.<br/><br/>“Besides, our enemies use terror in some manner to enforce their authority. If we're going to break them then we need to do the same. I don't suppose that's why you chose to recruit me?” he inquired.<br/><br/>“It is.” Angua admitted.<br/><br/>“So it all falls into place. So how about Fyodor?”<br/><br/>“I had one file he came up in.” Angua finally conceded, digging through the stacks of Russian-titled files, “Isaak Girgorvich Alexandrov, apparently the Alexandrov family were close to his father. If he has a service record, then no doubt through that. There's not a lot on him, only a name and a city of residence.” he added, passing the incredibly thin file to Wong, “Not even a photo. You're going to have to pursue his name in Perm when the chance arises.”<br/><br/>“I'll set a date.” Wong crooned as he took the light manila folder in his hands. He weighed it gingerly. Despite the feathery emptiness to it, the value of leads was weighed in gold.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Moscow</div><br/><br/>“Alright, here's plan comrade.” Vasiliy smiled, throwing down a map onto the dining table of the borrowed apartment. Ullanhu looked down at the crumpled sheet of scrap laid before him. Dashed about its face narrow purposeful lines constructed a rough map. The Mongol looked at it and recognized the shape of the Kremlin.<br/><br/>“I've located and explored escape tunnel under Kremlin.” Vasiliy remarked as he sat down. Excitedly and hurriedly rubbing his palms together. The frantic energy was enough that he could have started a fire from the excited giddy strokes his palms made between each other. “To final red-station line on the tracks. Is empty, but soon as president is moved there we move fast much.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu looked up to his partner and the paper. There was an empty spot in his enthusiasm that was quickly opening. He in the end did not know if he could be as excited as Vasiliy, or even terrified. He just felt an absolute nothing. “Ok.” he remarked, fingering into his mouth a small clump of corn flakes. The flavorless coins of cereal crunched between his teeth as he looked over at Vasiliy.<br/><br/>“Oh, is beautifully simple.” the Russian said, “I get president, take control of him, and we go on way through tunnels. There cart even by doors, still waiting for czar that'll never come.”<br/><br/>“This car, will it run?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>“Da.” Vasiliy nodded excitedly, he wore the hope of a puppy in his eyes and his smile nearly broke his skinny squared-off face.<br/><br/>“Fine, but what about me?” he asked, “I don't know where I am in all of this.”<br/><br/>“Oh, is not to worry. You has of part. You will drive car.”<br/><br/>“Me, drive?”<br/><br/>“Da, you not know?” inquired Vasiliy, leaning over the table. For a brief second a morbid shadow of fear fell over him and his hope was dullened.<br/><br/>“No, I can drive.” Ullanhu assured, Vasiliy's hopes were again raised.<br/><br/>“Oh praise God!” he shouted, relieved, “I needs you at station, to wait for me.”<br/><br/>“What will you be doing?”<br/><br/>“Getting president, is best you not know.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu was stricken, as if slapped across the face he was being left out of something. “Well why not?” he shouted angrily. A tempest billowed in his gut, stewed by frustration in being denied this piece of information. This part of port.<br/><br/>“Please, please. Keep voice down.” urged Vasiliy, “We not wanting to wake neighbors, or call attention.<br/><br/>“Comrade, I have my reasons for not saying. You is having to trust me on this. Tomorrow, I give you keys. Be parked outside the north-western most station on red-line by three in the afternoon then. I comes with president, throw him into car, and you drive!<br/><br/>“Is plan clear?” he asked, searching for confirmation.<br/><br/>“Ah- yes. It is. But Vasiliy, this doesn't feel right if I don't know what it is you're doing.”<br/><br/>“Comrade, I have my reasons. I'll tell you when finished. Is my honorable promise.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu could hear he did not having a choice. Conceding with a lanquid rock-heavy sigh he admitted his defeat, “I won't ask. I'll be there.”<br/><br/>“Is good, I wake you in morning.” Vasiliy beamed.</div>"
22204,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-11-19 17:30:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Washington D.C.</span><br/><br/>Russell Reed glanced out the third-floor window of Blair House. The home's previous owner had been Washington legend Francis Preston Blair. Blair, a southerner and adviser to both Jackson and Lincoln, tried in vain several times to broker an early end to the Civil War to no avail. From the window facing out of Blair House, Russell had a clear view of the White House. The close proximity to the White House and West Wing eventually led to the government's purchase of the home. Today, it was used as a guest house for any heads of state who came to Washington. Two floors below in the parlor, Blair and a hodgepodge collection of Whig and Free Soil Party members formed the Republican Party. Russell thought it was an odd place for the current Democratic president to hold his weekly breakfast meeting with the Democratic vice-president. <br/><br/>The two men sat at the dining room table and ate a simple breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast with grapefruit and orange juice. The food was part of the president's effort to curb the weight gain that came with the transfer from military life to civilian life. By contrast, Russell always had a heavy breakfast of sausage, grits, and eggs with country gravy and a large mug of black coffee. He would always burn the calories in his day of constant motion, meeting and greeting and glad-handing nad never stopping until that night. The two men ate their meal in silence while they absorbed the news from that morning's east coast national papers. Russell handed Norman a copy of the <span class=""bb-i"">Boston Herald</span> as he handed Russell a copy of the <span class=""bb-i"">Washington Post.</span><br/><br/>""Seems your tour is in all the papers,"" Russell said as he flipped open the paper. <br/><br/>""It's my first serious trip out of Washington since the inauguration,"" Norman replied. ""It's bound to make at least passing news.""<br/><br/>Russell reread the details that appeared in the papers of Boston and New York. While Russell was doing whatever it took in the election down south, the White House had announced the president was going on a western tour of the country. He'd be going through the midwest and stop in Wisconsin to witness the groundbreaking ceremony on the Eric Fernandez Presidential Library. After that, it was off to California and up the Pacific Coast. The highlight of the tour would be Norman's return to the Cascadia Territory, his first time back there since the war. <br/><br/>""And besides, Jim Sanderson's win is making news as well,"" the president said between bites of food. ""I know you're glad to have him back in the Senate. I've heard that you and the former governor down there don't get along.""<br/><br/>""Hampton Taliaferro is a son of a bitch,"" Russell stated flatly. ""Always has been. We've clashed more than once over the years, but I can't say I'm too broken up over the scandal. I hate the way Jim won, but I'm glad everyone knows what kind of son of a bitch Taliaferro really is.""<br/><br/>Russell did not show anything other than remorse at the circumstances surrounding the Senate race. Nobody had asked for a statement on it and he hadn't given one. As far as the public was concerned, he had stayed out of it leading up to the last week of the race. Nobody knew about Sledge's actions, Ash McCall's betrayal, and the relatively small amount of money it took to engineer the events in Macon. And nobody would ever know because everybody benefitted. McCall got the governor's chair, the members of the governor's security detail would quietly make rank in the Georgia State Patrol. Those that didn't get promotion got money. The two colored girls found with Taliaferro were now somewhere in Florida, laying low with a friend of Sledge's with a few hundred dollars in their pockets.<br/><br/>""What about the blowback from your meeting in Tennessee?"" Norman asked, looking over his reading glasses at Russell. ""How bad do you think that will hurt you and the administration?""<br/><br/>He tossed the Washington paper aside and picked at his food. ""The people down south will rant and rave for a while, but they'll forget about it.""<br/><br/>Norman put his paper down on the table and looked at Russell. ""I want to apologize about that, Russ. I know you've been taking a beating on it in the papers.""<br/><br/>""It's what the VP does, sir,"" Russell shrugged. ""Sometimes I'm the hatchet man and sometimes I'm the fall guy. I was fully aware of the possibilities and limitations of the job when I accepted the nomination.""<br/><br/>He kept his feelings about being hung out to dry to himself. He fully knew that on a risky prospect like meeting with leaders of the burgeoning civil rights movement, the president couldn't risk exposure like the VP could. But Russell still felt slighted by not receiving even private reassurance from the White House. That was why he kept his promise to Wolde and the Calhouns to himself. If the president knew he had promised to push a civil rights bill through Congress on his own accord, the wrath of the White House would be far worse than anything anybody in the south could do.<br/> <br/>""I'm afraid this might rile up our southern friends in the Senate,"" said Norman. ""I'm sorry I didn't take your advice sooner, Russell, but the fight over that NEWI bill showed me just how those old men can hijack legislation.""<br/><br/>""They are sons of bitches when it comes to working the Senate towards their advantage. The Ethiopian foreign aid bill is going to a vote in the House today, right?"" Rusell asked. ""I've read that you're marshaling all the Democratic forces behind it.""<br/><br/>""Your protegee, Clay, and the leadership team in the House are moving heaven and earth to make sure every House Democrat to vote for it.""<br/><br/>""Not an easy feat, but that won't work in the Senate. That shuffling sack of phlegm Wilbur Helms has made it crystal clear the price for southern cooperation in the Senate. Those old bastards will not be moved until we let them know we won't push for civil rights legislation. My trip to Tennessee will make them that much more adamant to get assurances.""<br/><br/>Norman flashed Russell a soft grin. <br/><br/>""Divide and conquer, Mr. Vice President. Reach out to Pete Kelly and Rod Marston. Talk to them about getting Republican support behind the Ethiopian bill. I'll deal with Senator Helms and the old bulls.""<br/><br/>Russell chuckled and shook his head.<br/><br/>""Wilbur Helms has served in Congress for sixty years. He's seen twelve presidents come and go. For you to tame that old man, it would be a minor miracle.""<br/><br/>""People said the same thing to me when I said I wanted Russell Reed as my vice-president,"" Norman said with a laugh. ""'There is no way that man will ever step away from running the Senate to be vice-president.' But yet here we are. Give me some credit, Russ. I'm not the political neophyte you thought I was.""<br/><br/>""I've slowly realized the truth of that,"" said Russell. ""And I've come to grudgingly accept it."" <br/><br/>""Thank you for your approval, however reluctant it may be.""<br/><br/>The president stood and checked his suit for any signs of food on them. Russell also stood, brushing toast crumbs from his lapel. <br/><br/>""See about setting up a meeting with Kelly and Marston. Leave the southerners to me. You'll find my legislative strategy is just as effective as my military strategy.""<br/><br/>""Let's hope not,"" Russell quipped as they shook hands. ""Because if it is, we'll be annexing the Senate in two weeks.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Capitol Hill</span><br/><br/>""Somebody find me that son of a bitch Rowe!""<br/><br/>Traci Lord struggled to keep up with Congresswoman Jen Armstrong as they raced through the long hallways of the Capitol building. Traci was glad she took Armstong's advice and wore sensible shoes to the Capitol. Armstrong still wore black pumps as she hauled ass down the corridor. Today the House was voting on Harlan Lewis' Pan-African foreign aid bill. The article Traci had in mind for this installment involved following Majority Whip Armstrong and her team of deputies. It was an amazing study in contrast to see Armstrong at work. In most things, she had a sunny disposition that never seemed to falter. She was polite and always considerate, that was part of her charm in Congress. That attitude fit perfectly with her being a forty-something midwestern mother of four.<br/><br/>But when there was a hint of weakness or dissent inside the Democratic ranks?<br/><br/>""I swear to god, I will shove my foot so far up Dave Rowe's ass that he'll have stiletto marks on his tongue.""<br/><br/>The target of her discontent was David Rowe, a four-term congressman from Pennsylvania. Rowe was just one of two dozen Democrats the Whip team had drawn their sights on as the bill vote drew closer. Based on the vote counting and speculation, the vote was going to be landslide with both sides of the aisle voting but in favor of it. Even with the bi-partisan support there was no way it would be a unanimous vote. The large size of the House, along with the idiosyncrasies of its various members, would prevent that.<br/><br/>Republican Congressman Ben Barker from Maryland was a devout Quaker that voted against any military measure no matter how small, and Barker made it clear on the floor debate that this foreign aid would prolong war. Barker was one of the few pacifists in the House. They and other hard-line isolationist congressmen who would either vote nay or abstain from voting altogether. That was fine for the Republicans, but Clay Foulke wanted to send a message. The Speaker wanted every single Democrat in Congress, all two hundred and fifty-four of them, to vote aye on the bill. He wanted to show Washington, the country, and maybe even the world that Republicans could write and propose legislation, but only Democrats could get it through the House.<br/><br/>""Pursuant to the rules regarding House Appropriations Bill 2601, it is now in order to vote on the measure."" The voice of the Speaker Pro Tempore filtered through the halls of the capitol thanks to speakers mounted on walls throughout the House of Representatives side of the building. ""Voting will be opened up for a period of thirty minutes--""<br/><br/>""C'mon, Traci,"" Armstrong shouted over the droning voice of the Speaker. ""Pick up the pace!""<br/><br/>The two women suddenly found themselves fighting against a current. As the voting on the measure opened up, congressmen and women began to head towards the House floor to vote. Traci stuck close to Armstrong as they navigated through the crowd. <br/><br/>""Anyone seen Rowe out of Pennsylvania,"" she asked people as they went through the crowd. ""Chance!"" She snapped at another passing representative. ""Remember what we talked about the other day? Vote that way.""<br/><br/>""You're very committed to your job,"" Traci said. ""What do you think makes you work so well as Whip?""<br/><br/>""I'm a mom to four boys,"" she said with a look back at Traci. ""And being Whip is like being a parent more than an enforcer -- Preston! Hey, Preston! Yes, you! Don't back out on me-- you have to wear many hats, as a nice guy or a bad guy. The tone I use on the members of Congress is the same tone I use when I catch my youngest sucking on his thumb. You have to bully, flatter, cajole, and even shame people to get them to vote how you want.""<br/><br/>""And do you always get what you want?""<br/><br/>""No, but I win more than I lose that's for sure.""<br/><br/>Armstrong took Traci by the wrist and they ducked into a side office. She caught the name on the plaque beside the door just as they went in. Congressman David Rowe, Pennsylvania 14th District. Armstrong walked past the secretary without a word and burst into the office of Rowe. They were greeted by a rail-thin man with a retreating hairline that would be non-existent within five years. He stood up, towering over both Armstrong and Traci, and gave them a puzzled look.<br/><br/>""David,"" Armstrong said, placing her palms flat on his desk. ""Don't know if you know this, but there's a very important vote on the floor at the moment.""<br/><br/>""I'm aware, Jennifer,"" Rowe said, stepping backward slightly. ""I... don't think I'll vote.""<br/><br/>Armstrong walked around the desk and started to slowly encroach into Rowe's personal space. Traci watched with rapt attention as the little woman who was easily six inches shorter than Rowe, even in her heels, made him squirm. Armstrong was small, but the way she moved made her seem ten feet tall.<br/><br/>""The Speaker passed word through all every caucus that the vote on this measure is to be unanimous on that front. Did you get the memo?""<br/><br/>""I... I did, but I still can't vote for it.""<br/><br/>Armstrong placed a hand on the end of Rowe's tie and started to pull on it. Slowly, Rowe had to crouch forward and forward until he was hunched over and just inches away from Armstrong's face.<br/><br/>""Why, David? Why can't you vote for it?""<br/><br/>""This could lead to war, I don't want that. I fought in the last war we had and I don't want to send any other sons off to war.""<br/><br/>""Very noble, Congressman.""<br/><br/>Armstrong let the tie go. Rowe snapped back like his spine was a rubber band, bolting upright and again trying again to put some distance between him and her. Armstrong kept shuffling forward until Rowe was nearly backed into the far corner of the office.<br/><br/>""If there is a measure to declare war, feel free to vote against it. But for this bill? This foreign aid bill to help starving people, you need to vote yes.""<br/><br/>""I'm voting my conscience,"" he stammered. ""That's what you always tell us to do first, right?""<br/><br/>""Right, but that conscience conflicts with what the party wants. And you owe the party for your reelection. You won reelection last time by just ten points, right?""<br/><br/>""Twelve, actually.""<br/><br/>""Twelve points,"" she clicked her tongue. ""And that was with the DNC's funding and backing. It's a hard district, lots of Republican voters. Now imagine what happens the next time you run for reelection when there is no funding or backing. Not only that, but the DNC picks a dashing young liberal to step up and run for Congress against you. You'd be a lame duck by the summer and forced to watch the general election from the sidelines.""<br/><br/>Even from across the room Traci could see the beads of sweat forming on Rowe's large forehead. He took a second to wipe them away with his sleeve and tried to find a response. None seemed to be forthcoming as he just stammered and tried to reply. Suddenly, a change came over Armstrong. The tough mask was gone. She reached out and placed a hand on Rowe's shoulder.<br/><br/>""Easy, David. Come on, have a seat.""<br/><br/>Again despite their height difference, Armstrong seemed to lead Rowe towards his desk like the man was half her size. She helped him sit at his desk and took the seat from across it.<br/><br/>""You're a smart guy, David, very smart. That's why we want you to vote for this bill. The Speaker sees promise in you being part of the leadership here in the House, maybe let you join my staff of whips, but that only happens if you can show the Speaker you're a loyal member of the party. That advancement can only come if you remain in Congress. If you don't like voting for this, then I understand it, but you have to understand the leadership's position. We're getting White House pressure to shove the bill through the House. So by voting with us on this, you'll show the Speaker and President that you're a team player, and you'll have the appreciation of both and the Speaker will owe you one. He's a good one to have owe you a favor, believe me.""<br/><br/>Rowe's face seemed to convey a half-dozen expressions all at once. Shock, amazement, concern, embarrassment, etc. The congressman ran his hands through his thinning hair and tried to come up with a response to all that had been thrown at him so quickly by Armstong.<br/><br/>""Okay,"" he finally said. ""I'll help you out.""<br/><br/>""Good,"" Armstrong said as she stood up. ""You got twenty minutes to get down to the floor and vote. Move your ass, David.""<br/><br/>And like that, she was racing back out the office with Traci in tow. She checked her watch and cursed when she realized how little time was left before the voting finished.<br/><br/>""Is that the usual force you apply in every situation?"" Traci asked.<br/><br/>""Depends on the congressman and the measure. Something like this, we have to go full for--"" she stopped talking as she eyed one of her deputies coming down the corridor. ""Kevin! What's the vote look like?""<br/><br/>""So far it's two hundred and ten to ten,"" the deputy whip said as he rushed by. ""All the nays have been Republicans. We've still got about a hundred Dems who have yet to vote.""<br/><br/>""Stampede them to the floor if you have to!"" She yelled as he disappeared around a corner. ""Cattle drive.""<br/><br/>Armstrong led Traci through the halls and out onto the House floor. The chamber was packed with members casting their votes with electronic signals, each one unique to the representative for accurate vote tallies. The big board on the wall read that Appropriations Bill 2601 had passed with a clear majority of House members, three hundred and sixty to fifteen. There were still sixty congressmen who had to vote, but it was mere formality at this point.<br/><br/>The word stampede was right, Traci said to herself. The White House backing gave the Democrats impetus to vote in mass for it, and general public opinion on the bill mixed with the Republican authorship of the bill gave Republicans reason to vote for it as well. Traci looked across the way and saw Harlan Lewis holding court with a group of seven or eight congressmen. The Republican congressman who nobody knew was suddenly popular among his peers. She caught the man's eye and nodded to him. He smiled and waved before turning his attention back to the other men around him.<br/><br/>""That's done,"" Armstrong said as she vote, sending the tally one more in favor of the bill's approval. ""And here he comes...""<br/><br/>They watched David Rowe walk down the aisles towards his seat. He sat down on the bench and picked up his electronic voter. He pressed a button. Both Armstrong and Traci looked towards the big board. The yay vote increased by one. Rowe put his voter down and left the floor as quickly as he arrived.<br/><br/>""There you go,"" Armstrong said with a wink to Traci. ""That's how the sausage gets made.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Natchez, Mississippi</span><br/><br/>James Calhoun dipped his paintbrush into the can of paint and pulled the brush out with its bristles coated in primer gray. He gently applied the paint down the side of his trick to cover up the horrible words that had been scratched into it. Sarah and the boys saw it and were mad. James got them to calm down, something that would have been damn near impossible if they knew about his meeting with Alex Miller, how that money the family need to live on had been denied. <br/><br/>He told Whitney of course. She hadn't shown anger, just a slight sadness before it quickly disappeared and she nodded. She and James knew tough times, something that the kids never did. They were born during the Depression. Back then there was no times but hard ones, especially for the black people in the South. They'd survive, she knew it and he knew it as well. It'd be tough but they could do it.<br/><br/>The sound of a car rolling down the long dirt road driveway made him look up from the truck. A long, black car came to a stop in the driveway. James let a grin slip from his face. He knew the car well. He'd ridden in it, hell he'd even drove it. Out from the car stepped Isiah Wolde, looking immaculate as always in his crisp black suit, black tie and black-rimmed glasses. He hadn't seen him since Memphis a few weeks ago, the man had let his hair grow out. It was all kinky and poofy, not kept short or straightened with lye like a lot of negroes in America. It reminded James of how the people in Africa looked. A lot of Wolde's followers were starting to wear it out like that, men and women. They called it a natural. Luckily Sarah still insisted on keepng her hair long and straight.<br/><br/>""Isiah,"" James said as he put his paint brush down and approached the Ethiopian. ""Nice hair, brother.""<br/><br/>They shook hands, Wolde smiling. ""You like it? You should grow it out too. Solidarity with each other and the folks over in Africa. You know they don't try to make their hair look like white people.""<br/><br/>""That's a young man's game,"" James said, pulling his hat off and showing his short hair. ""Y'all grow your hair out all you want, you got my solidarity in spirit.""<br/><br/>James led Wolde towards the front porch. The Ethiopian nodded towards his truck as they walked by.<br/><br/>""Sarah told me,"" he said. ""Scare tactics is all it is.""<br/><br/>""I know,"" James said before lowering his voice. ""But they're using other tactics, brother. The bank I use to get my loan from denied me, the white man who runs it said I need to know my place. We use that money to live on before the harvest comes in.""<br/><br/>""Now Sarah did not tell me that.""<br/><br/>""That's because she doesn't know.""<br/><br/>James led them to a pair of rocking chairs on the front porch.<br/><br/>""What brings you here, Brother Wolde? I thought you had business up north.""<br/><br/>""I did, and I met with some people who are firmly behind us. There are a lot of northern people, negroes and whites, who are sympathetic to our cause. We're planning something, James. A demonstration in Washington D.C. Russell Reed gave us a promise, but it's words. We have to show the entire federal government that we are here and we will not be ignored.""<br/><br/>""It's a good plan,"" James said before he scowled. ""And I would love to be there. I just don't know if I can. I've got my boys working around town earning money, and I'm gonna have to join them to make ends meet. I won't have the time or energy to take part in any protests or marches.""<br/><br/>""What if I loan you that money?"" Wolde asked, leaning forward in his rocker. ""Whatever it was you were going to borrow, I can provide it.""<br/><br/>""I don't want to impose or--""<br/><br/>""I have money, Brother James. Lots and lots of money.""<br/><br/>Wolde reached into his pocket and pulled out a roll of bills. Big bills, James saw. He'd never seen so much money in his entire life. <br/><br/>""Where did you get that?""<br/><br/>""Those sympathetic northerners?"" Wolde asked with a sly grin. ""Those that don't want to march like to contribute with money. I can provide you some money out of the general fund to skate by. Besides, I feel bad because these people are doing this because you're affiliated with the movement.""<br/><br/>The two men looked as another car came down the dirt road. This one James also knew. It belonged to Mr. Birch from up the road. Behind the wheel was Birch's daughter Nadine, and in the passenger seat was Sarah. Sarah was out and running towards the porch before the car had stopped properly. She pounced on Wolde and hugged him fiercely, yelling in glee that he was here. <br/><br/>James watched the scene with a sense of amusement, but that amusement quickly faded when he saw the looks on both Wolde and Sarah's faces. It was quick, and in a flash they were back to being friendly. But James caught the look. There was no doubt to what it was, because Whitney had looked at him the same way for over twenty years. <br/><br/>It was a look of love. <br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Vancouver</span><br/><br/>Silas Crystal felt the lock give under pressure. He pulled his lockpick out and turned the knob all the way before standing and slowly pushing the front door open. Crystal pocketed his lockpick and reached into his jacket to pull out a pistol with a suppressor attached to the end. He loaded a round into the chamber before stepping through the threshold into the apartment. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside, but slowly shapes came into view inside the home of Arthur Stewart.<br/><br/>The one room apartment was listed as the kid's address on his contact information at Simon Fraser University. The two CIA guys took Reg Boland's description of the two terrorists as college kids and ran with it. They made Boland sit in a chair and flip through photos of college students from all schools in the greater Vancouver area. The gun smuggler's eyes lit up when he came to the photo of Stewart, quickly pointing him out and declaring that was him. Unfortunately, Boland never saw anybody that looked like the Alex kid he said was running the Friends.<br/><br/>Crystal stepped further into the apartment once his eyes were fully adjusted to the dim lighting. It was a studio apartment where the bedroom/kitchen/bathroom were all in the same place. The place was sparsely decorated with only a coffee table, two cheap wooden chairs, and a mattress and box spring resting on the hardwood floor. There wasn't much to the place, but Crystal could tell almost right off the bat Stewart hadn't lived here in quite a while. He ran a gloved hand across the coffee table and came up with a thick layer of dust on his hand. The fridge contained only a spoiled quart of milk and moldy Chinese takeout. There was no radio, television, or phone and no books or other keepsakes that a person would have in a home.<br/><br/>He slid his gun back into its shoulder holster and did a quick search of the apartment. The few drawers the apartment had contained nothing but scratch sheets of paper and pens. Crystal flipped the box spring over and found a handful of pamphlets underneath the mattress. He picked them up and pulled out a flashlight from his jacket, clicking it on to browse the contents of the papers. They were political tracts calling for various things. One called for the withdrawal of US forces from the territory, another for an autonomous Cascadia that was under US protection, another the full blown return of the NWC, and even one that called for Canadian annexation of the territory.<br/><br/>Crystal killed the light and tucked it back into his jacket along with the tracts. He left the apartment, careful to lock it back as he left. The apartment was on the third floor of a four-story walk up a half mile away from Simon Fraser University. The rest of Crystal's A-Team were searching for any trace of Stewart through the university campus. The Green Beret slipped a snap brim hat on his head and hurried down the flight of stairs towards the building's exit. He came out onto the street and climbed into a waiting car.<br/><br/>The CIA field agent, the man Crystal knew only as Smith, pulled the car out into the street and glanced expectantly at Crystal. ""So?""<br/><br/>He tossed the pamphlets on to the dash and sighed. Smith's eyes darted back and forth between the pamphlets and the road. ""What's that?""<br/><br/>""That is the only trace we have of Arthur Stewart. Some crappy political tracts calling for all kinds of radical shit.""<br/><br/>""That's a start,"" Smith said as he pulled a cigarette out of his jacket pocket. ""Radical shit is the FCB's milieu. If someone in the territory is printing this, then they'll have a lead on it. My partner has a contact inside the Bureau that can maybe give us a lead.""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Hank Kelly sat in the rickety chair facing his desk, looking down at the two photos with a look on his face that could only be dread. The photos were the result of days worth of work. After Reg Boland identified Arthur Stewart, they went back to work on finding an identification for the man Boland knew as Alex. Hours and hours of searching through the rolls at local universities had come up with nothing, the same happened when Hank expanded the search to all higher learning institutes in the territory. Still nothing. He felt intuition gnawing at him, which was an odd feeling. It was Pat who was always the guy who acted on gut feelings, Hank always used facts and evidence and logic. Something was off about these people who called themselves the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty. Something that he couldn't quite place. And then that was when Hank remembered an operation Hank's Canada Section back in Alexandria worked on with the CIA's covert stations embedded throughout Canada. <br/><br/>Copies of the Agency's files had been couriered up north after Hank appealed to the Deputy Director of Intelligence for them. The DD/I was hesitant at first, but soon came off of it after the Friends murdered a prominent politician, the head of the territorial legislature. Close to two thousand pages of documentation were flown to Fort Norman from the Campus. He'd absconded with it back to the makeshift headquarters in the former slaughterhouse. Hank spent the next few days hard at work. He combed through the copious amount of paperwork the way only a seasoned Washington bureaucrat could. And then he found something. He found two somethings.<br/><br/>Operation Penalty Box was an intelligence-gathering mission that took place all throughout 1978 and '79. CIA operatives in Canada, Washington, and embassies across the world attempted to identify Canadian intelligence sources and operatives through electronic and human surveillance of Canadian embassies worldwide. The results managed to identify over a hundred men and women who were connected to the nation's Intelligence Branch in varying degrees. And there were still another three hundred suspected figures that could never be identified or tied to Intelligence Branch for sure. The results from Penalty Box were a closely guarded CIA secret, allowing the blown agents to work in the field oblivious of the fact they were known. <br/><br/>Hank and Boland sat at a metal table and went through every single bit of photo from Penalty Box to try and find anything that seemed familiar to Boland. The man with the bandaged face and swollen jaw silently acquiesced to the long hours pouring over grainy surveillance photos. It wasn't like he had a choice. And Pat had promised him immunity if he cooperated, Hank only vaguely going along with it. They were intelligence agents and not lawyers. A US attorney and judge would work that out, but he might put in a good word for him when the time came.<br/><br/>""That's them,"" Boland said after nearly nine hours of staring at the photos. ""That's the guys. Both of them.""<br/><br/>Hank slid the photo over and looked down at it. It was dated August of 1979, a long-range photo of two men huddled together in a back alley. Hank skimmed the report that went along with the photo. CIA's Toronto Station took the photo after tailing a suspected intelligence officer through the city. The picture showed a short, long-haired young man in a jean jacket talking to a tall, blonde man who wore his hair in a short crew cut.<br/><br/>""Who are these people?"" Hank asked. ""Tell me exactly.""<br/><br/>""The little guy, that's Alex,"" Boland said, tapping the shorter man with his finger. ""And the big guy, that's my contact in Canada. Jones, the one who smuggled that biohazard shit through the DMZ.""<br/><br/>Hank grabbed the photo and quickly left Boland alone in the room. He felt like he was going to puke as he went back to the main files and found everything he could on the tall man. CIA files on him were incomplete, but every report confirmed he was a mid-level member of Intelligence Branch. The other man was an unknown person, believed to be the tall man's informant or agent working somewhere in Canada.<br/><br/>Alex, whoever he was, had been in contact with Jones for quite some time... It was Jones who gave them what Hank and Pat believed to be some kind of deadly weapon, it was Jones who funded their weapons and paid Boland to smuggle it across the DMZ. It was all Jones who backed the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty... and Jones was a Canadian intelligence officer.<br/><br/>Hank put his hands on his hip and looked down at the photo. Boland wasn't the most reliable source, but his implications would have major repercussions. Because if it were true, then that meant the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty were state-sponsored terrorists backed by Canada. Hank could see very clearly if it were true, where it would ultimately lead to, and that was the Third North American War.</div>"

The Department of Health’s overspend was twentieth on the list of concerns that Hobbs had. At the top of that list was the ill-advised phone call he’d held with the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police yesterday afternoon. Hobbs had been up much of the night worrying that his using Dominic Hewitt’s name would come back to bite him in the backside. He’d come in extra early this morning so as to busy his mind with other things. Currently listening to the Health Minister stammering down the phone was failing to do that. Hobbs scrawled a hastily drawn penis on the notepad in front of him and held it up for Hewitt to see. The young Press Officer smiled and began to scribble an obscene drawing of his own.<br/><br/>Before he had a chance to lift it into view the doors to the Downing Street spin room burst open and Fraser Campbell appeared. Hobbs noticed the look on the Prime Minister’s face straight away and instantly cut the Health Minister off mid-sentence and set the phone down. The other press aides, Hewitt included, continued working completely unaware of Campbell’s rage. Hobbs stood up from the desk he was sat at and opened his mouth to alert the staffers to clear the room but was a second too late.<br/><br/>“Out,” The Prime Minister glowered in the doorway to the room. “I want everybody out.”<br/><br/>Hewitt looked to Hobbs with worried eyes and Hobbs gestured towards the exit. Along with five other Downing Street staffers he slowly made his way out of the room and past the Prime Minister as carefully as they could. They hadn’t seen Fraser Campbell angry before. Hobbs had seen it <span class=""bb-i"">many</span> times. Though the public considered the Prime Minister skittish and nervous at the best of times he was prone to the occasional bout of rage. Usually reserved only for the consumption of his wife Joyce and Hobbs. Once the door had shut behind the last of the staffers the Prime Minister paced towards the desk opposite Hobbs and leant against it in silence.<br/><br/>Hobbs looked to his old friend with a concerned smile. “What’s wrong?”<br/><br/>“At my meeting with General Markham-Powell I was asked about an Errol Clarke. Does the name Errol Clarke ring any bells to you, Hobbs?”<br/><br/>Hobbs felt the same knot in his throat he’d felt yesterday after lying to Hewitt. If Campbell knew who Errol Clarke was there was no way he hadn’t worked out what Hobbs had done. Samuel Hobbs was a dead man walking. His palms began to sweat and his pale hands began to shake as he considered confessing to his mistake before Campbell dragged it out of him. That had to be why the Prime Minister was here. There were meetings that he was meant to be this very minute but instead he was <span class=""bb-i"">here</span> talking to Hobbs about Errol Clarke instead. Hobbs was done. His career was finished. The second this conversation ended he’d be escorted out of Downing Street. The smart thing for the Geordie to do now would be to own up and go down with his dignity intact.<br/><br/>“None,” Hobbs lied. “Should it do?”<br/><br/>Campbell’s rage was magnified by the thick lenses of his glasses. “He was murdered in Brixton less than twelve hours after James Oldfield. Whilst I was on television calling for calm an old coloured man was being beaten to death less than two miles from where Oldfield was shot dead.”<br/><br/>“Jesus Christ,” Hobbs muttered unconvincingly as he stood up from his seat. “We need to get out ahead of this one.”<br/><br/>“Get out ahead of it? Everyone that matters already knows. The King <span class=""bb-i"">himself</span> knows about Clarke, Hobbs, but I had to find out about it by being blind-sided by the Chief of Defence Staff in a meeting that was meant to be about South Africa.”<br/><br/>Hobbs thrust his hands into his pockets to hide their shaking. “Have the press got hold of it? We need to make sure they don’t get hold of it.”<br/><br/>The Prime Minister nostrils flared slightly at the interruption. “I wasn’t done.”<br/><br/>Hobbs gulped at that. Campbell and Hobbs had been friends for the best part of ten years. They had met at a mutual friend’s wedding back when Campbell had been a lowly junior minister in the previous Prime Minister’s cabinet and Hobbs was a relative nobody at <span class=""bb-i"">The Times</span>. They had become fast friends. Hobbs and Joyce got on famously and the then-journalist’s ascension at <span class=""bb-i"">The Times</span> coincided with Campbell’s through the cabinet. When the King had unexpectedly appointed Fraser Prime Minister he had contacted Hobbs that same morning to come aboard. In all that time and in all the crises, personal and political, Campbell had never looked or spoken at Hobbs the way he was now. He stood in cowed silence as he waited for Fraser to speak the words he knew were coming.<br/><br/>“How did the Palace find out about Clarke’s murder you might ask? The Home Secretary told them about it. That’s right, even Thomas-fucking-Moore knew about it before I did, and instead of telling me he ran to the Palace. He even intimated to the King that we were “out of control” of the situation.”<br/><br/>Campbell removed his thick glasses, pulled a cloth from the inside pocket of his double-breasted jacket, and then rubbed at them with it. Once he was satisfied the lenses were sufficiently clean he placed them back on and continued recounting the events of that morning. His rage had receded somewhat. Though Hobbs knew that gauging the Prime Minister’s anger by the way he spoke or his facial expression was a fool’s game. Campbell would often seethe away in silence for hours after his rages had come to an end.<br/><br/>“On my way back from my meeting with Markham-Powell I asked myself whether Thomas Moore, as arrogant as he is, would have the balls to take something like that to the Palace if he thought I wasn’t aware of it. I mean, Moore <span class=""bb-i"">is</span> a bastard but not a brave one by any means otherwise he would have made his move a long time ago. So I called the Police Commissioner to check whether he’d spoken to anyone from Downing Street.”<br/><br/>Finally Hobbs had heard enough and he interjected “Fraser, I can explain.”<br/><br/>“I don’t want to hear your excuses,” The Prime Minister said forcefully. “He has to go, Hobbs.”<br/><br/>It took a few seconds for it to sink in but once it had the Director of Communication’s facial expression shifted. Gone was the dread and repentance to be replaced by a bemused smile that Hobbs did his best to disguise. “What?”<br/><br/>Fraser walked across the office and stood in front of Hobbs.<br/><br/>“Hewitt spoke to the Commissioner, he <span class=""bb-i"">knew</span> about Clarke’s murder and didn’t tell me, and worst of all he made assurances to the Commissioner without my consent.”<br/><br/>The relief that Hobbs felt was so complete he almost found it hard to stand. His stomach had been somersaults as he awaited the coup-de-grace from the Prime Minister but it seemed giving Hewitt’s name had worked up to this point. The tiny smirk on Sam’s face disappeared and he nodded solemnly in a way that was more befitting of the situation.<br/><br/>The Prime Minister let out a pained sigh. “I know you’re fond of the boy but I can’t have someone on my staff that I don’t trust, Hobbs.”<br/><br/>In a rather unconventional way Hobbs <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> fond of Hewitt but he was fonder of himself by a magnitude of a hundred. There was still a large part of him that couldn’t believe he’d actually managed to get away with it but he’d learned long ago not to look a gift horse in the mouth. He wouldn’t argue for Hewitt, not even for appearance’s sake, the longer he prolonged this the most chance there was at snatching defeat from the jaws of the unlikeliest victory of all time. <br/><br/>Instead he nodded his head dutifully as he stared down at the ground whilst trying to look begrudging. “I understand.”<br/><br/>“Pack up Hewitt’s things and tell him I want to speak to him,” Campbell said as he made his way towards the exit. “Oh, and let security know that Mr. Hewitt will need an escort out of Downing Street. I know how important this job is to him. I don’t want to chance the boy doing something drastic.""<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Shoreditch, London</span><br/><br/>Sebastian Hedland’s eyes crept open slowly and a relieved look washed over his face upon seeing the interior of his flat. It had been a nightmare. He’d never gone to Liverpool, Daley’s Sugar Refinery had never been raided, and what Seb had dreamt had happened <span class=""bb-i"">hadn’t</span> happened. He’d never been more relieved in his life. It was when the young New Jerusalem journalist tried to push himself up from the plush sofa that he felt the pain. His hands were red and swollen with welts on them where they’d been struck and Seb’s insides felt like they’d been torn apart. After the shock wore off he could barely sit up from the pain. It <span class=""bb-i"">had</span> been real. As he shut his eyes he saw the face of the ginger-haired man with the moustache that had subjected him to unspeakable horrors. He’d remember that face for the rest of his life. It was burnt into his memory. Every few seconds some small, seemingly insignificant detail flashed through his mind and Hedland had to fight back the tears.<br/><br/>A few metres away from him resting on the table beside him was a telephone. Seb dragged his body slowly towards it and tried to reach for it. His fingers hurt so badly that it hurt to stretch his hand out towards it. He tried to shut out the flashbacks, the smiling face of his tormentor as he stood over him, and reached towards the phone. He needed to speak to someone. He needed Lambert. Lambert would help him, Lambert would tell the world about what had happened, <span class=""bb-i"">this</span> would be the straw that broke the camel’s back. It had to be. As his fingers contacted the phone it slid off its holder and rattled along the floor even further out of reach. The exertion of the movement made the pain in Hedland’s insides intensify and he curled up in a ball on the sofa.<br/><br/>Then he noticed it. There on the floor next to him was a post card. Seb figured he’d knocked it to the ground as he’d woken. He reached down for it and lifted it in front of his face to inspect it. On the front of the postcard was the skyline of the Liverpool Docks with the words “come back soon” over it. Seb grimaced and turned the postcard over to inspect the back. It was blank but for an immaculately circular smiley face drawn in black pen. Hedland whimpered and let it slide from his fingers back onto the ground. It was him, he couldn’t explain how he knew it, but Seb <span class=""bb-i"">knew</span> that the ginger-haired man had written it.<br/><br/>Then the belated realization came to him. He was in Liverpool and now he was back in London. They had tortured him, violated him, and then to add to his mental anguish had transported him two hundreds miles back to London to <span class=""bb-i"">prove</span> they knew where he lived. They had been in his space, in his home, whilst he had lain there unconscious and vulnerable. They were trying to send him a message. They were watching him and could snatch him up again <span class=""bb-i"">anytime</span> they wanted to. <br/><br/>The young journalist buried his face in his broken hands and sobbed into them.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>A bead of sweat crept down Dominic Hewitt’s forehead. His life was crashing down around him. He had been called into the Prime Minister’s office ten minutes ago only to be informed that Fraser Campbell was letting him go. He’d worked to the bone for five years to prove that he was <span class=""bb-i"">more</span> than his father’s son and now all of his work had been undone. Worst of all was that Campbell seemed determined to let him go for something he hadn’t done. According to the Prime Minister there had been a murder in Brixton the morning <span class=""bb-i"">after</span> James Oldfield was shot and Hewitt had spoken to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police about it. No matter how many times Hewitt protested his innocence the Prime Minister didn’t seem to want to hear it. In fact his protestations only seemed to make Fraser Campbell even less patient with him. Nothing Hewitt said seemed to make a difference.<br/><br/>For the fifteenth time Hewitt pleaded his innocence with Campbell. “I swear I never said a word to the Commissioner, Prime Minister, I would <span class=""bb-i"">never</span> do something like that.”<br/><br/>Campbell glared at Hewitt and then exhaled with frustration. He reached into one of the draws and pulled out a thin file. He looked Hewitt dead in the eye as he opened the file and slid it across his table to Hewitt.<br/><br/>“We pulled the records, Dominic.”<br/><br/>Hewitt’s eyes scanned the one page document as he tried to make sense of what he was reading. There circled in red pen was a phone call from Hewitt’s phone from the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police. Dominic screwed his face up as he spotted it. “This doesn’t make any sense.”<br/><br/>After five more minutes of pleading the Prime Minister finally lost his patience and called for the security officers waiting outside of his office. Hewitt fought back the tears as they escorted him out and to the small office where his things had already been carelessly dumped into a cardboard box. A few of the colleagues Hewitt was closest to stopped by to say their goodbyes but most kept their distance. Finally as Hewitt began the long march out of Downing Street he spotted Hobbs stood waiting for him with a sympathetic smile. Hobbs gestured to the security team to give them some privacy and they nodded in acknowledgement and left the two men alone.<br/><br/>“I heard about what happened.”<br/><br/>“I didn’t speak to the Police Commissioner,” Hewitt muttered despondently to his former boss. “I didn’t do it.”<br/><br/>Hobbs sighed heavily and placed a supportive hand on one of Hewitt’s shoulders. “I know, Dominic.”<br/><br/>Suddenly the pieces snapped into place and Hewitt’s red, bleary eyes came to life with recognition. He remembered leaving Hobbs alone in the office to go for a cigarette and returning to find the Director of Communication’s hand on his phone. He’d said it was Fat Pat from the Department of Health, he’d even made the stupid “tit wank” joke for the fifteenth time, but it was <span class=""bb-i"">actually</span> the Commissioner that Hobbs had been speaking to. Hobbs was the one that had taken that call, the one that given all the assurances, and worst of all he’d thrown Hewitt to the wolves by giving his name. <br/><br/>Hewitt was so angry he was nearly frothing at the mouth. “It was you.”<br/><br/>A derisive chuckle left Sam’s lips and he shook his head as if Hewitt was insane. “What? Don’t go getting ahead of yourself there, mate.”<br/><br/>“You used my phone that day,” Hewitt said, his voice slowly rising as he spoke. “It was you, you piece of shit.”<br/><br/>Suddenly the smile disappeared and Hobbs wrapped one of his pale hands around Hewitt’s arm and dragged him to the side. He pushed a bony finger into Dom’s cheek as he spoke. “You fucking listen to me, you preening cunt, I am the one that decides whether you spend the rest of your life writing the fucking horoscopes for an in-house magazine or whether you land on your fucking feet.”<br/><br/>Hewitt stared at Hobbs with dead eyes. Even now, even after Hewitt had found him out, Hobbs <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> couldn’t bring himself to apologise for what he’d done. Samuel Hobbs had been something of a mentor to Dominic ever since he’d arrived at Downing Street, even if he was a reluctant one, but now Hewitt understood the truth of it. The Director of Communications only cared about his own survival. He was a cockroach. He’d be here in Downing Street long after the rest of them because there wasn’t a soul that Hobbs wouldn’t screw over to stay at the top. <br/><br/>As if sensing he’d overstepped the mark Hobbs pulled his finger back and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. “If you keep your mouth shut, I’ll see to it that you’re back in this place within five years and this whole Commissioner snafu will seem like some half-forgotten nightmare. You want my job? In ten years you can fucking have it. But not if you go throwing <span class=""bb-i"">baseless</span> accusations like that. Do you hear me?”<br/><br/>In his periphery Hewitt made out the security team approaching the two of them. Hobbs had offered him a way back in. It would mean five more years of hard work. Five years of trying to piece back together his broken reputation. Hewitt wondered what his father would say when he found out that he’d been let go by Downing Street. Probably that he never should have bothered to begin with. His father never thought he was good enough. Nigel Hewitt only cared about one thing. Himself. He was like Hobbs in that sense.<br/><br/>“I want to hear you say it,” Hobbs whispered to Hewitt as the security team were within a few metres. “Say the words, Hewitt.”<br/><br/>For a second Hewitt considered it. He’d spent his whole life trying to earn the approval of men like his father and Samuel Hobbs. If he walked out of Downing Street today without agreeing he’d be considered a failure, even by his friends, but Hewitt would sooner fail on his own terms than give Hobbs the satisfaction. He spat in the Director of Communication’s face and smiled as he saw the pale man’s face sour with disgust as he realised what had happened. The security officers wrapped their heavy hands around Hewitt and dragged him away from Hobbs before the Geordie could lay a hand on him. As Hewitt was being dragged out of Downing Street he brandished a grin worthy of the Cheshire Cat at his old boss. <br/><br/>“Fuck you.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Garret's Green, Birmingham</span><br/><br/>Honor Clarke and Conrad Murray sat round a plastic table in the centre of their living room. The table they usually sat around had been broken when the police had turned over their flat. It was fluorescent green and partially see-through. On the table were a selection of vegetarian dishes that Conrad and Honor made together that they ate from at their leisure. Whilst he ate Conrad’s mind thought back to the conversations he’d had with Neil Durham and Daniel Noble that morning. The feeling he’d felt after he’d left Noble’s office had played on his mind ever since. He told himself once he’d finished eating he would talk to Honor about it. In truth he was scared to share those feelings with his girlfriend. She had spent much of the meal fuming at Conrad’s boss for having given him a warning.<br/><br/>“Those bastards,” Honor muttered as she took a mouthful of butternut squash casserole. “I can’t believe they would put you in that position.”<br/><br/>It was now or never, Conrad though, as he cleared his throat. “Well, I’ve actually been thinking about it and I’m starting to think they might have a bit of a point.”<br/><br/>Honor stopped chewing and shot her boyfriend an incredulous look. “What? How can you say that?”<br/><br/>“You have to see it from their point of view,” Conrad said as he eyed his plate nervously in an attempt to avoid making eye contact. “My association with you brings the school negative attention, Honor, and that negative attention impacts my student’s education, my relationship with my colleagues, and the standing of the school in general.”<br/><br/>Honor threw her cutlery down and glared at Conrad. He could feel the weight of her stare boring into his skull but kept his eyes glued on his meal. <span class=""bb-i"">This</span> was the reason the teacher had been reluctant to talk to Honor about this. He knew she wouldn’t take it well. Some part of him hoped that they’d be able to have a grown-up discussion about it without resorting to argument. The look on Honor’s face said otherwise. They almost never argued but tonight seemed destined to be one of those rare nights. His girlfriend’s activism was so much a part of herself that she took any criticism of it as a criticism of her person.<br/><br/>There was more than a hint of annoyance Honor’s voice. “So what? You want to disassociate from me? Is that what you’re suggesting?”<br/><br/>Conrad sighed. “That’s not what I said. I just think maybe you should think about toning things down a little.”<br/><br/>“Toning things down? You knew who I was and what I believed in when you agreed to enter into this relationship, Conrad. Once upon a time you would have been out there with me too. It’s not fair of you to ask me to “tone things down” because it makes things a little uncomfortable for you at work.”<br/><br/>“It’s more than that,” Conrad said as he met Honor’s gaze for the first time. “I could lose my job over this. Noble said the board wanted me gone because of the protest yesterday and that he had to talk them round. I’ve barely been working there for five minutes and they <span class=""bb-i"">already</span> want me out because of your…”<br/><br/>His feelings had gotten the better of him. In his mind he’d taken his newfound reservations about the impact of Honor’s protesting to their natural conclusion and his mouth had followed. Luckily he’d managed to catch himself in time. At least he <span class=""bb-i"">thought</span> he’d managed to catch himself in time. Honor was glaring at him from across the table with her arms crossed. Even with fury emblazoned on her face she was still beautiful. Her thick black dreadlocks hung over one shoulder and her dark, deep eyes were locked on Conrad. <br/><br/>“Go ahead,” Honor muttered. “Say it.”<br/><br/>The teacher hesitated for a second and then finished his sentence tentatively. “Posturing.”<br/><br/>Those dark, deep eyes grew angrier still. “Posturing? Can you even hear yourself? <span class=""bb-i"">Posturing</span>? I was out there trying to make a difference, Conrad, trying to change things so that people like me, some of whom are your students, don’t have to live in fear of police brutality every second of their lives.”<br/><br/>“Sitting in a street isn’t helping them,” Conrad sighed as he finally set his own cutlery down. “I teach those children, Honor, and I treat them <span class=""bb-i"">exactly</span> the same as I do all of the other children. I try to equip them with the knowledge they’ll need so they can be more than a statistic when they grow up. That is helping them, that is making a tangible difference to their lives in the here and now, not inconveniencing some police officers whilst they go about trying to do their jobs.”<br/><br/>Honor sat in silence for nearly a minute after Conrad had finished speaking and the teacher grew slightly worried. When he decided to open his mouth to check whether his girlfriend was okay Honor stood up from the table and picked up her late. Conrad attempted to follow after her but she looked at him with a blank expression and shook her head.<br/><br/>“I’m done with this conversation.”<br/><br/>“Wait,” Conrad called out to her as she walked towards the bedroom. “Honor, I’m sorry.”<br/><br/>She stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face her boyfriend. “No, that’s the worst thing. You’re not.”<br/><br/>He wanted to deny it for her sake if nothing else but the words wouldn’t come. She waited for Conrad to say something, to tell her that she was wrong, but once it became clear it wasn’t going to happen she turned her back again and slammed the bedroom door shut behind her.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Sevenoaks, Kent</span><br/><br/>There was a stirring in Jonathan Markham-Powell’s home that woke him from his sleep. His wife murmured as Markham-Powell climbed out of bed and he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and whispered to her to go back to sleep. The old general reached for a dressing gown that hung from the edge of a wardrobe and took a glance out of his bedroom towards the source of the noise. Any other man might have put it down to the floorboards creaking or the wind but Jonathan Markham-Powell knew better than that. He was old enough to remember the Troubles. He’d seen the violence that had torn Britain’s streets apart and he’d vowed then to <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> be prepared for the worst. He knelt down beside his bedside table and reached beneath it for a Great War-era pistol he kept in case of emergencies. Once he was certain it was loaded he stalked out of the bedroom and began to creep downstairs.<br/><br/>The general cleared each room one by one until he spotted a silhouette in his kitchen. He let out an exasperated sigh as he recognised the man sat at his kitchen table. To British intelligence the man was known only as “Marine B” but Markham-Powell knew him as Roger Black. They had a long history with one another that stretched back before the general’s appointment as Chief of the Defence Staff. Black was the most effective tool that Markham-Powell had against the closeted republicans, anarchists, and socialists that wanted to drag Britain back to the dark ages all over again.<br/><br/>The general could make out Black’s smile in the darkness. “Can’t sleep?”<br/><br/>Markham-Powell flicked the kitchens light on. Black was still wearing his black combat gear as he slurped from a can of uncooked bake beans. The sauce from the beans had caked itself in Black’s ginger moustache. He scratched at the sides of his slicked-back hair with the back of his hand as Markham-Powell watched on displeased.<br/><br/>He gestured towards the can of beans that Black was slurping nosily from. “You couldn’t have heated those up first?”<br/><br/>“They’re fine cold,” Black said between mouthfuls. “I didn’t want to wake you.”<br/><br/>The general would have shot any other man dead on sight for intruding into his home whilst he slept but Roger Black’s loyalty to him was absolute. He showed no regard for rank and rarely bothered with niceties but Markham-Powell knew that he would throw himself under a moving train if the general commanded it. That didn’t make him any more comfortable at the thought of the Marine skulking around in his house whilst he was sleeping but he knew better than to attempt to explain that to Black.<br/><br/>“How did the operation in Liverpool go?”<br/><br/>Black shrugged his shoulders. “We got nothing.”<br/><br/>The old general grumbled. The intelligence the general had received had indicated that Daley’s Sugar Refinery in Liverpool had been a front for a republican plot. It had long been said that the only reason the refinery had survived the Troubles was because its founder had been a renowned socialist. Whilst the other factories, refineries, and businesses burned to the ground Daley’s Sugar Refinery remained undamaged because it had stood shoulder to shoulder with those doing the burning. This latest move to become a “co-operative” had been nothing but an attempt to put the funds directly into the pockets of the plotters. At least that was what the intelligence had indicated.<br/><br/>“There was a journalist from some magazine called the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> there,” Black said as he produced a business card from one of his pouches and took a glance at it. “His name was Sebastian Hedland.”<br/><br/>“Was?” Markham-Powell growled with a frown. “Did you kill him?”<br/><br/>Black chewed on a mouthful of beans, swallowed, and then shook his head. “No, it wasn’t worth the effort.”<br/><br/>“You know I don’t like loose ends.”<br/><br/>It was rare that Black left any witnesses. There was no crime Roger Black wasn’t willing to commit to keep Britain safe. Wanton murder and destruction was his calling card. He was a walking one-man Blitzkrieg that never failed to get results. He tortured, murdered, and maimed without hesitation if Markham-Powell asked it of him. If the general had a nation of men like Black he could restore Britain to its former glory within a fortnight. It was why it was so shocking that on this occasion Black had stayed his hand.<br/><br/>The Marine shot the general a confident smile. “Trust me, he won’t be talking to anyone.”<br/><br/>“Good,” Markham-Powell nodded. “We <span class=""bb-i"">may</span> have had some bad intelligence this time around but I know those Liverpudlians are hiding something. If there’s a place in Britain where the bastards that tore our country apart can rest their head without fear – it’s Liverpool. I’d sooner burn the entire city to the ground before I’d stop looking. They’re out there, Black, they’re still out there.”<br/><br/>A decade ago Markham-Powell had warned the government that the Troubles were not over and they had ignored him. The Prime Minister at the time, William Robert Jones, had even accused Markham-Powell of being paranoid. Then a republican cell had blown up an RAF barracks in Uxbridge that Jonathan’s son, Alexander Markham-Powell, had been stationed at. His son’s death had spurned the general into <span class=""bb-i"">finally</span> making his move. In secret he used the full weight of his influence to rally the Armed Forces behind him and deposed Jones. To the public, the King and the Prime Minister of the day were the most powerful men in Britain. To those in the know, General Sir Jonathan Markham-Powell was the man with his hands on the lever and both the King and the Prime Minister did his bidding. Even if they weren’t aware of it.<br/><br/>Black looked up from his beans with an inquisitive look. “The King?”<br/><br/>Markham-Powell sighed. “Yes, I met with William the Limp-Wristed this morning. He is as disinterested as ever when it comes to matters that do not regard clay pigeon shooting or water polo. The boy knows where his bread is buttered. He’ll do as I tell him because he knows what will happen to him if doesn't.”<br/><br/>Black smiled. “And the Prime Minister?”<br/><br/>“The least said about that sweaty buffoon the better,” Markham-Powell laughed. “The poor man still thinks he’s in charge even <span class=""bb-i"">after</span> the King forced his government into introducing the Voluntary Repatriations Bill. Can you believe that? I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the man doesn’t tie his own shoes in the morning.”<br/><br/>“Probably that pretty wife of his.”<br/><br/>The general picked up Sebastian Hedland’s business card and inspected it. His eyes weren’t what they once were and it took him a few seconds to make out its characters. After a few seconds of thought the general pieced together a plan of action that would explain away Black’s raid on Daley’s Refinery in Liverpool.<br/><br/>“We’ll tell the newspapers the refinery was the headquarters of a republican plot against King William and then sell it off to the highest bidder in a few weeks time.”<br/><br/>“What about the situation up in Birmingham? The protests?” Black said with a frown. “I could go up there with the boys and put a stop to those if need be.”<br/><br/>“It’s nothing the police can’t handle,” Markham-Powell said with a shake of his head. “We made a lot of noise on this thing in Liverpool, Black. It’s best you and your team lay low for a time until I have need of you again.”<br/><br/>The marine seemed disappointed at that. The general slid the business card back across the table and the marine stopped it beneath his fist. From upstairs Markham-Powell heard his wife stirring and the general took a look at the stairs with a sigh. He tucked the old pistol into the waistband of his pyjama bottoms, tied his dressing gown tight, and then walked towards the door of the kitchen. <br/><br/>As he reached it he looked back at Black still slurping from the can of beans. “Turn the light out after you when you leave.”</div>"

He had spent the afternoon with a friend from his University years, who the Emperor entertained with expensive hookers, and with drinks that were even more expensive than the women. They didn't drink so much that they were wasted, but it had been enough to cause both of them to finger their women with their middle fingers and giggle about how they were flipping each other off. When the women got boring, Sahle tossed them out on a street corner, making sure to pay them well enough so that they had no reason to complain. When the afternoon waned into night, Sahle remembered that he had a Gala to attend.<br/><br/>And so the Emperor strode through the baroque halls of the Imperial residence. He wore a black suit-jacket over a dress shirt. His jacket was decorated with medals he had never really earned, and over that he wore a sash in the Ethiopian colors - green, yellow, and red. A white cape was draped over his shoulders to make him look more Imperial.<br/><br/>""Sahle, Sahle, Sahle."" Baruti flew down the hall in a panicked tizzy. Baruti was a small, balding man with an unattractive, almost insect like face, and he was Sahle's personal assistant. He had once been a sort of tutor or mentor or something of that nature, though the Emperor never completely understood Baruti's place. He was useful, that was the important thing, and Sahle was so used to having him around to help and take care of him and his affairs that he never worried too much about what Baruti's actual function was. <br/><br/>""You are very late."" Baruti finished saying.<br/><br/>""I'm an Emperor."" Sahle moaned. ""I can't be late. The guests are just early.""<br/><br/>Baruti was tugging on the Emperor's clothes, making sure every crease was perfect. ""These Europeans will decide your country's future. You mustn't offend them, or they may withdraw their offers.""<br/><br/>""That is fine. I don't need them anyway. Ras Hassan says that this European move is a bad one. If the Europeans won't listen to me, we'll find another way to calm all the rebels."" <br/><br/>Ever since the death of his father, Sahle's Empire had been wracked by traitors. People saw the change in monarchs as an opportunity to advanced all kinds of anarchist and republican ideas. They wanted a liberal nation, one where there was no Emperor, and that made Sahle feel like a target. All he wanted was to be left alone with the prestige and wealth of his title. He wanted the Europeans and the rebels to all disappear and stop being a threat to him. But it seemed like the Europeans were the lesser of the two evils. They would preserve him, and that was most important, even if it cost him some prestige in the process. <br/><br/>""Have you shaved? Baruti asked. Sahle felt his face. There was some stubble, but did it matter? He ignored his assistant and kept walking, through halls who's sparse decorations had not changed since his father's death, and toward a door behind which a small gathering of European and Ethiopian leaders waited for him. <br/><br/>""Let's get this over with."" Sahle muttered under his breath. He went through the door and put on a smile. <br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPhTjHbAKw4"" rel=""nofollow"">(sahletiem music)</a><br/><br/>Sahle's gait lightened, and he seemed to flow into the room like on a cloud. Most of the people were older than him. There were Africans in western suites, and Africans in their traditional clothes. On the far side of the room, segregated by culture and the lack of racial familiarity, the nervous white Europeans mingled with each other. <br/><br/>The Emperor plucked a Mimosa from a server's tray as he strode by and, without missing a step, he came to the young sister of one of his Governors and kissed her hand. This part of being Emperor was something he enjoyed. He liked the feelings of glamour and power that came with these sorts of displays. He took a sip of his drink and approached the former Prime Minister, Dumaka Amiri, placing his hands delicately on the shoulders of the man's middle aged wife as the two men talked. Sahle didn't think so much about the words as he just said them, and he couldn't remember what exactly it was that he had said before, like a man carried by the wind, he moved on to the next person. <br/><br/>It felt like a dance. In his mind, he was recounting which of these women he had wooed, and which he had managed to bed, although so many were older women whose bodies he wouldn't even consider peaking at. He saw Adila Minkah, his Judicial Advisor, and a female one at that. But she was old and dried out like a corpse in the desert, and he shook her hand as if she was a man. He also saw the supremely dark-skinned Nassor Chitundu talking with the young Swahililander liaison between Parliament and the military. The Emperor raised his glass to them, and they bowed. Sahle felt a rush of power then, and he slammed down the remaining Mimosa, left the glass on a passing tray, and grabbed another drink from another server just as quickly. <br/><br/>Next came the Europeans. They looked less comfortable here, but Sahle strutted toward them with the same royal narcissism that he had showed his continental guests. There were Germans, and Belgians, and a number of Englishmen as well. Poland always had a few representatives in the African empire, and today was no different, though they were here to peddle weapons as was their practice. Sahle stopped by all of them, laughing at partial jokes and getting just friendly enough with their wives and daughters to make some of the men bristle. However, before anybody had the chance to think about what had happened, the Emperor had moved on. <br/><br/>He approached Vince Reynard now. Reynard was somehow tied to the British Consulate in Istanbul, but he spent a lot of his time lobbying for the interests of British Petroleum in the Middle East and Africa. He was a brooding, boring old man who always tried to talk business. Sahle was not interested in talking to him, but it was a necessity of the office, as he knew that the British Petroleum interests had the money to keep his government safe from its people. With Reynard was a slight, mousy haired young woman, and she was more interesting to the Emperor. He could not tell if she was an adult or still in her adolescence, but it did not matter so much to him. That was a Western idea. In the real world, a person was an adult as soon as they stopped looking like children. She was old enough to have hair where it counted. He guessed her age to be about fifteen.<br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty."" Reynard bowed. He had the voice of an aging Shakespearean actor, which did not match his dour face or the robe of stringy grey hair that grew from the sides of his otherwise spectacularly bald head. The girl followed his lead and bowed. <br/><br/>""I just came back from Cairo..."" Reynard added.<br/><br/>Sahle smiled. ""With her?"" he said as smoothly as he could. ""Tell me, did you escape some sheikh? I bet you had to run out of town with a lady such as her."" Sahle did not see how Reynard was reacting. His eyes were only for the girl, who herself looked uncertain how to act.<br/><br/>""This is my daughter, Emily."" Reynard replied. Emily was flustered by Sahle's attention, but she was good at picking up cues from her father. She bowed again and confidently said ""It is a pleasure to meet you, your Imperial Majesty.""<br/><br/>""Ah, you won't know pleasure from meeting another person until you meet somebody like yourself, my lady. Tell me, I do not know how your England works, but are you a princess?""<br/><br/>""What? No, my father isn't the King."" she answered. Her uncertainty had melted away and been replaced by a smile. He was beginning to amuse her, and that was a start.  <br/><br/>""Ah. Your father is an important man though. He had dinner with a Sheikh.""<br/><br/>""I did, actually. But not of the Egyptian kind."" Reynard interrupted. ""One of British Petroleum's largest investors lives in Cairo. I have him lined up in support of our venture, assuming your government is behind it as well.""<br/><br/>""Rights? Right. Oil Rights. Of course, Mr. Reynard, you can have all of that.""<br/><br/>""We need something from you, your Imperial Majesty."" Reynard answered before Sahle had the chance to redirect the conversation back toward the girl. ""There are disturbing reports about Ras Hassan. I notice he is not here tonight. We need your military on our side if you want to hold this country.""<br/><br/>""Hassan doesn't want to be Emperor!"" Sahle laughed. ""He wants to be a soldier. He won't try to take my throne, do not worry about him.""<br/><br/>""You will need him, so be sure of that."" Reynard insisted.<br/><br/>""I have him."" <br/><br/>""We will quell your rebels, though it may take some time. But a full-sized Civil War would attract attention. You know that China is not your friend. They want the metals that can be taken from the Congo. But the Spanish might be your enemy as well. The wells in Murzuq will go dry in a few years...""<br/><br/>""You will take care of it, and Hassan will take care of it. I have complete faith in the British Petroleum company."" Sahle said. He turned to the girl. <br/><br/>""So, tell me about England...<br/><br/>--<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">The Border of Georgia, Present Day</span> <br/><br/>Sahle woke up to the sound of haggling. His head was resting against the passenger's side window of Vasily's beat up truck, in a cab that smelled like grease, and he was wrapped up in a stained woolen blanket. Vasily was leaning out of the driver's side window, haggling with a man in a thick, grey-green greatcoat. At first, Sahle felt a jolt of fear at the thought that this guard was with the Armenian authorities, and that he had finally been caught. His eyes shot from one side of the road to the other. There was a military truck on the side of the road where another guard sat on the bumper and nursed a bottle of something. The guards had lit a fire in an old oil-drum, and the smoke curled straight into the crisp Caucasian air. <br/><br/>""Come on, brother. You are having a road here so people can drive on it. That is what it is here for, is this not being so?"" he heard Vasily plead. Sahle said nothing. Instead, he inspected the strange flag painted on the side of the guard's truck. It was a horizontal tricolor in green, black, and red. Sahle had never seen it before in his life. These people weren't with the Armenian government.<br/><br/>""I will be sweetening up the pot of honey."" he heard Vasily say to the guard. Sahle watched as the Russia produced a small wad of cash and handed it to the guard. And that was it. That was all it took. The guard nodded and backed away, and Vasily started driving again.<br/><br/>When they were far enough away that the truck was just a glint in the rear-view mirror, Sahle turned to Vasily.<br/><br/>""Those weren't Armenians. Who were they?""<br/><br/>""They were Armenians."" Vasily warbled.<br/><br/>Sahle looked confused. ""What? That flag...""<br/><br/>""The men were from Armenia, but they're taking money from the Dagestani. There is being more money in the soldier work than there is in the civilian work, or at least this is true for those men.""<br/><br/>""What is Dagestan?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""Oh dear, your great majestyness. You have not been listening to the news.""<br/><br/>""I pay attention to what goes on in Africa."" Sahle replied. <br/><br/>Vasily nodded. ""This is fine. Dagestan is a tiny little country that is invading Georgia. I am not knowing where they get the money for this thing, but they are doing it.""<br/><br/>""This is a warzone?"" Sahle sat up, alert. The countryside showed no signs of war. Rough, scrubby mountains flanked the roads on both sides. It reminded Sahle of the land near Sevan - no trees, and naked hills - but this place look wilder, less inhabited. <br/><br/>""You have been in the warzones, my excellent Emperor friend."" Vasily smiled. ""The worst of the trouble is being on the coast. There is Georgians there who want to have Georgia. Out here, the Dagestani sit on the roads and squeeze money out of the people who want to be on the road.""<br/><br/>Georgia went on forever, but they did not stop except to refuel. The Russian kept several jerrycans full of gasoline in the back of the truck so that their refuel stops happened in hidden places well off of the main road. There was a jug of water in the truck-bed as well, and a burlap sack full of flat-bread crackers sat between the two men in the cab. <br/><br/>It was when they began to climb into the imposing Caucasian mountains that the sun started to set. Vasily pulled off of the road and found a place in a shadowy coniferous forest. The sun had disappeared over a mountain in the west, making the trees black for want of sunlight. Sahle remembered the story Vasily had told him the first time he visited Georgia, about the mustachioed highwayman named ""Koba"" that had hunted for victims in these mountains during the first half of the century. He also remembered the Armenian mercenaries on the border. These things made him feel uneasy.<br/><br/>They stopped and Vasily started a fire. Sahle told him how, in the movies, the smoke from fires attracted enemies, and Vasily laughed. The Russian told him that it was better to not freeze to death than it was to avoid having to shoot somebody, and that the chances of somebody seeing their camp fire and thinking it was worth their time to check out was slim. He took an old can of borscht and placed it over the fire to heat it. While the first can cooked, Sahle read the second can and became concerned when he noticed that it had expired in '72. He expressed his uncertainty<br/><br/>""Look at this thing that I am showing you."" Vasily said, grabbing the can. He turned it over and tapped the surface of the top, and then turned it again to tap the bottom. ""These are not bulging out. That means that there is no diseases eating at the foods that are in the cans. This borscht, it might not taste so good because it is old borscht, but that is okay, because borscht is not very good anyway.""<br/><br/>They ate in silence. It hit Sahle just then that he had woke up that morning as Samel, in a hospital surrounded by friends. He was going to fall asleep as Sahle, an Emperor who was dead to the world, and his only companion was this Russian and his nasty soup. He did not know what his future was going to bring. The only conclusion that seemed to make sense was that he was going to be sold by whoever paid Vasily. What other use could he possibly be to them? And where were they going? He remembered Vladmira, and he remembered what she had told him about her part in the plot to assassinate the Tsar.<br/><br/>""Are we going to Finland?"" he asked Vasily.<br/><br/>Vasily spat. ""Finland? No. I told you Russia."" he pronounced 'Russia' with an exaggerated growl. ""Why would we go to Finland?""<br/><br/>""Vladmira told me that she was Finnish. She said that she helped to assassinated your Tsar.""<br/><br/>Vasily laughed then. It was not his usual jolly laugh, but rather a dark, sinister grumble that seemed come from his gut. ""She did not do this thing, and she is not Finnish. You were lied to.""<br/><br/>""Who was she then?""<br/><br/>""She was born in Sankt-Peterburg, October 7th of 1952. Her father was a Vladimir, and he was in the navy if I am remembering right. Her mother was a Maria. I do not know if she did anything, and I am not knowing if they are alive anymore.""<br/><br/>Sahle was surprised. ""You know all of this from heart?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""I was bedding her for a few years."" Vasily admitted. ""So it was important that I know these things. It would be a bad idea to ejaculate blind, I am thinking. You know this, do you not? You have learned this thing today."" <br/><br/>Sahle couldn't say that he was wrong.<br/><br/>""You are not knowing the language of Russia."" Vasily asked from out of nowhere. ""I am thinking this will confuse you.""<br/><br/>""I don't."" Sahle agreed. He knew several languages, a symptom of his schooling and the time he spent in Europe, but Russian was not one of them. They had been speaking in Armenian this entire time. He had learned Armenian over the course of the first month he lived there, so he was eager to learn Russian and did not feel overwhelmed by the idea. ""I need to know it. Can you teach me?""<br/><br/>Vasily agreed. They spent the next few hours practicing, and Sahle felt as if he had gotten the hang of a few basic phrases before they went to sleep.<br/><br/>The next day was a little brighter. It was not the weather, but something about a night's sleep that helped him to clear his head. They had flat-bread crackers and water for breakfast. With only that meager meal on their bellies, they were back on the road. <br/><br/>The Caucasus mountains made for a slow, winding drive. They had passed through a few small villages on their way through the valley, but now that they were in the mountains, there were nothing but irrelevant hamlets of two or three houses to be seen. The mountains themselves amazed Sahle. They reminded him of the Alps in Europe. Though the Ethiopia's African Empire boasted several impressive ranges, the only ones that Sahle had visited himself were backbone ranges of the Ethiopian highlands. But even the lofty Semian mountains, with their ambas and knifing spires of rock, did not have monumental presence that the Caucasus mountains possessed. If the Semian mountains were warriors - difficult, dangerous, and full of surprises - then the Caucasus were Kings, who's thrones spread wide and deep into the roots of the earth and who's crowns were made of snow.  <br/><br/>They spent the morning practicing Sahle's Russian. When noon came, they stopped to top-off the fuel tank. Sahle pissed from the side of a cliff and watched his stream fall toward the distant rocks below. When their pit stop was over, they began to descend from the mountains, and Sahle practiced his Russian some more.<br/><br/>The villages became larger, and more frequent, but the people did not seem to pay much attention to them. ""We are in Ossetia now."" Vasily said, first in Armenian and then in Russian. He repeated each sentence this way, sometimes changing it up so that the Russian came first and the Armenian came second. ""This means we are in Russia.""<br/><br/>""Is Ossetia part of Russia?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""Russia is not a country right now, but it will be again, and when it is, Ossetia will be with us.""<br/><br/>It was only a few hours later when they passed an single plywood guard-post along the highway. The man inside was wearing civilian clothes and a fur hat, and he had a rifle in his hands. Vasily slowed down, but when the man saw him, he waved them through.<br/><br/>""We are now in Russia."" Vasily explained. ""Not the Republic, but the Volga state.""<br/><br/>""What is that?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""I think we are a... commonwealth? A gathering peoples who do not think that the Republic is Russia, and do not think that the Communists are Russia, and do not think that Poland is Russia. There are many independent groups in this land, and they all have their own agenda, but they all agree with what I just said. A confederation. Perhaps that is the term that I am looking for.""<br/><br/>""And your employer?""<br/><br/>""We are one of those groups, yes.""<br/><br/>Sahle felt the decision about his fate looming over him now. ""Will your employer sell me to Ethiopia? My brother...""<br/><br/>""I doubt this will happen."" Vasily said curtly. ""But it is not my decision to make.""<br/><br/>Sahle was conflicted. How else would he be of use to these Russians? At the same time, he couldn't help but trust Vasily. The Russian had saved his life from Barnham's goons. When everything went to shit in Sevan, it was Vasily who cleaned it up and hid Aaliyah. He had nowhere to run anyway, but he didn't really feel like running. Somehow, for no reasonable reason, Sahle felt safe.<br/><br/>This time when the sun began to set, they stopped at an Inn in one of the small towns. An older couple ran the place. They kept a garden on the side of the building where they gathered some of their food. The building had siding made from unpainted lumber, but the building was not scrappy like the guards post they had seen on the border. This place was quaint. They ate with the owners of the inn, sitting on the porch and watching the sun dip over the horizon. Vasily asked for the news.<br/><br/>""The Cossacks in Sochi drove the Mafiya out of the mountains east of the city."" the old man grunted. <br/><br/>""What were the Mafiya doing up there?"" Vasily asked.<br/><br/>""They were moving drugs into Sochi from the mountains."" he explained. ""A few months ago, a sailor came through and told me that the Cossacks bought a fishing trawler and sent some of their boys out to board Mafiya smuggling ships. They don't say they are at war, but they are at war.""<br/><br/>""It's all out west of us."" his wife chimed in, nervous. ""It won't spill over here.""<br/><br/>The old man nodded. ""Gangs. Those two are just criminal gangs fighting over turf. We'll keep our heads down out here and nobody will notice.""<br/><br/>""What about the Communists?"" Vasily asked.<br/><br/>The old man sighed. ""They took Tyumen. They are about to take Yekaterinburg. The Republic is done for.""<br/><br/>Vasily looked grim, but he said nothing.<br/><br/>""Are the communists bad?"" Sahle asked. He had mixed feelings about China. They had been a threat to him when he was Emperor, and they were part of the reason that his brother took his place, but now that they were helping Africa to defend itself, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful.<br/><br/>""They are not good. They are foreigners, and they are not Russian."" Vasily answered.<br/><br/>The old man got up and walked to the edge of the porch. He looked out across the plain, north east toward nothing that could be seen. ""Nothing good has ever came over the Urals."" he brooded.<br/><br/>Sahle looked in the same direction that the old man's gaze fell. He realized, by looking at the faces of Vasily and the old woman, that their feelings were the same. They saw Siberia as the worse of all the evils Russia faced. It wasn't anarchy that loomed over Russia - the people here were used to that. The danger was in the east. Russia, like Africa, was being swallowed by an uncaring foreign force. It was being made into a colony. <br/></div>"
22207,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-11-26 12:29:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Chicago</span><br/><br/>""Look alive, assholes.""<br/><br/>Johnny Leggario glanced up from the plans on the table at the overweight figure strutting into the hideout. Chicago PD Lieutenant Stephen Bukowski wore a shit-eating grin that Johnny had come to hate over the past few days. Bukowski was one of Bobby C's pet cops and their inside man for the current bank job. He was here simply because Bobby demanded it before giving his consent to the job.<br/><br/>Johnny, Prussian Joe, Mick Mahoney, and Roger, the bank crew's wheelman were already waiting for Bukowski when he showed up. They had been waiting for nearly an hour before the cop finally arrived. The base of their operation was a gutted out building on the Southside. One of Johnny's guys torched it two months earlier for some white collar schmuck looking to collect insurance on the place. <br/><br/>""About time,"" Prussian Joe said coldly. Like Johnny, the little German did not want Bukowski on the job and his feelings on the matter grew as he learned more and more about him.<br/><br/>""I know types like you can't understand, but I have an actual job that I have to do."" <br/><br/>Johnny could smell the booze on Bukowski's breath the second he opened his mouth. There was a prohibition on alcohol and drugs that Prussian Joe enforced in the days leading up to the job. He said booze and dope made guys sloppy and sloppiness on a job could get someone killed or put in stir. Johnny understood his outlook. He never fucked with drugs and only drank occasionally so agreeing to Joe's demand was easy enough. Bukowski it seemed hadn't got the memo. <br/><br/>""Whatever the excuse,"" Prussian Joe as impassively as he could. ""We need to finish the final walkthrough before tonight. Gather around the table, please.""<br/><br/>The five men stood around the cheap card table the German had set up in the middle of the room. On the table were two maps, one of the street that the First National Bank sat on, the other the floor plan for the bank. Joe had the maps marked with notes and pins to mark his observations.<br/><br/>""In twelve hours, we are going to rob the First National Bank of Chicago,"" Joe said to start the presentation off. ""At exactly ten minutes past midnight, we will begin. With Lieutenant Bukowski back at the local precinct as night watch commander, the four of us will be on the ground here. Team 1 will be comprised of myself and Johnny. Team 2 will be Mick and Roger.""<br/><br/>Joe pointed to a spot just down the street from the bank.<br/><br/>""Team 2 will trip the power breaker for the block. This will temporarily disable the local power grid, the bank's alarm system with it as well. Once the power is out, Johnny and I will break into the bank and overload the faulty alarm system. As soon as Chicago Power and Water reroute power back to the area, the alarm will fry itself out before it can activate. Once that is done, Roger will drop Mick off at the bank and drive to a lookout point further down the block and park. Once inside the bank, Mick will use his tools to break into the vault. By disabling the alarm and doing this at night, we will have a seven-hour window to break that vault open and walk out with all the cash inside. While Mick works, Johnny and I will serve as lookouts. A freak power outage will draw CPD's interest. Is that correct, Lieutenant?""<br/><br/>""Yeah,"" Bukowski belched. ""The bank will definitely be on our list to check up on. It'll be just a pass by, maybe a wiggle of the front door. As long as you don't damage the door breaking in and stay out of sight after you're inside you'll be alright.""<br/><br/>""What's the response time if we fuck it up?"" Johnny asked Bukowski.<br/><br/>""If the alarm goes off, the nearest patrol car can be there in five minutes,"" the man said with a shrug. ""The precinct won't roll out in force until a patrolman has identified that it's an actual robbery and not a false alarm.""<br/><br/>Joe bent down with a pencil and scribbled the information on his plans. He stood back up and stared long and hard at the plans. Johnny knew he was debating the odds, about what would happen if he just walked away right now. But Johnny knew that the little German was just like him, trapped. They'd given Bobby C. their word that they could take the bank, and Bobby threw them a curveball with this fucking hump who seemed too drunk or too stupid to trust. Backing out now would piss Bobby C. off, and he was one of the worst people to piss off. Joe glanced towards him and Johnny knew exactly what he was thinking because Johnny had the same thought. If Joe backed out now, Bobby C. would have him killed and it would be Johnny that did the killing. <br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Scheiss drauf</span>,"" he said in his native tongue before nodding. ""The four of us will meet back here at eight tonight and prepare for the job. Afterward, we meet up here to split the take. If things go bad, then we have the fallback spot. That's it.""<br/><br/>The crew started to break up and go their separate ways. Johnny stayed back and offered Joe a cigarette. They smoked in silence until they were alone.<br/><br/>""Penny for your thoughts,"" Johnny said.<br/><br/>""I don't like it,"" Joe said, blowing smoke above his head. ""But what choice do I have now? Bukowski is sloppy, Mahoney is jittery from abstaining from heroin over the last three days, and my wheelman is too quiet for my liking. That aside, it is the lieutenant that bothers me the most. At best he is a lush fuck-up that will not keep his mouth shut. We'll pull this off, but we may be forced to leave town for good.""<br/><br/>""And at worse,"" Johnny asked, ""What is Bukowski?""<br/><br/>""Greedy,"" Joe said as he tossed his cigarette butt on the ground. ""And greedy people start to realize a heist splits better one way than it does five.""<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Nate Parker couldn't stop his hands from shaking.<br/><br/>He sat in the anteroom of SAC Shriver's office with a small collection of agents, all of them as nervous and on edge as he. The whole eighteenth floor had been on edge over the past three days. That was to be expected since Mr. Ford was in town on an inspection tour.<br/><br/>Carl Ford, director of the Federal Crime Bureau, had a very specific idea on how an FCB field office should be run. If anything wasn't to his liking, the offending party was given a stern rebuke if not outright dismissal. Nate checked and double checked that his suit was lint free and had no threads showing. Mr. Ford also had a very specific idea on how all FCB agents and support staff should dress. There were rumors around the Bureau that his obsession with order and neatness was because he was a homosexual. One particular nickname was Cocksucker Carl, but nobody in their right mind ever discussed those matters anywhere near the Murray Building. Despite drawing the ire of over 2/3rds of the Bureau, Mr. Ford had all the Bureau afraid of his cold wrath and cutting remarks.<br/><br/>""Special Agent Parker,"" Shriver's secretary called out. ""Mr. Ford will see you now.""<br/><br/>Nate stood and tried to hide his wobbling legs as best he could. The rest of the agents watched him impassively. While their faces were neutral, their eyes contained relief that their names hadn't been called. Nate adjusted his tie, pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, and followed the secretary inside to Shriver's office. <br/><br/>Ted Shriver, head of the Chicago regional office, sat behind his desk while Mr. Ford sat in a chair to Shriver's left. Shriver was fat and bald, the stereotypical idea of what a cop looked like right down to his triple chin. It surprised Nate to see how young Mr. Ford was. He was short, a few inches shorter than Nate, but rail thin. He'd gone gray prematurely, but that gray hair was combed into a boyish part on his left side. He looked to be around Nate's age somewhere in his early to mid 40's, but he may be even younger for all Nate knew. The director wore a baggy gray double-breasted suit and stared at Nate with cold blue eyes.<br/><br/>""Nate,"" Shriver said, neither he or Ford bothering to stand. ""Welcome, take a seat.""<br/><br/>Nate nodded to both Shriver and Ford as he sat in the chair facing Shriver's desk. The SAC shuffled papers around his desk until he came to what he was looking for. The paper was translucent enough so that he could see through it and tell what it was. It was a personnel file. His personnel file, he wagered.<br/><br/>""You've been with the Bureau a good many years,"" Shriver said as he passed the paper to Mr. Ford. Nate couldn't help but look at Ford's face as he looked it over. ""How do you like the work?""<br/><br/>""It's the best in the world.""<br/><br/>""Then how come you've requested assignment changes eight different times, Special Agent Parker?"" Ford asked in a quick, clipped voice. Nate caught a hint of a Massachusetts accent. ""Do you not have the stomach for it?""<br/><br/>Nate had to choose his next words very carefully. He knew what he wanted to say, that wiretapping Communist was a waste of the FCB's time, money, and energy. He wanted to say that there was nothing to be found with those people other than sob sisters. But he also knew the price for candidness could be the end of his career.<br/><br/>""I prefer more stimulating work, sir,"" Nate said. ""Political surveillance is fine work, but people who don't want to be caught are much more harder to catch than people who advertise their 'subversive' meetings in the local newspaper.""<br/><br/>""Make no mistake, Special Agent,"" said Ford. ""There is no greater threat to our nation than radical, domestic terrorism. The work of those bomb-throwers in Vancouver will serve as an inspiration to both communists and negro supremacist moving forward. You may be enamored with the mafia, Special Agent Parker, but you should focus on the real dangerous ones. We must be vigilant at all times.""<br/><br/>Ford paused, glancing down at Nate's file, before he looked up with a wicked grin.<br/><br/>""I wonder, Special Agent Parker, if your disdain for your current assignment comes from your leftist tendencies. Do you feel a kinship with the stalwart communist or the suffering negro?""<br/><br/>""No, sir,"" Nate said, realizing too late that he had responded too quickly. <br/><br/>""I find you fascinating, Special Agent Parker,"" Ford said with another grin. He passed the file back to Shriver and smirked. ""You are a mess of contradictions. A devout Catholic, yet you support liberal causes that the church condemns. Top marks from law school, yet you shun practicing it to come to the Bureau. You yearn for field work despite being a coward who received poor field marks the last time you were in the field. I will not ask for a digression on your philosophical outlook, not just yet anyway. But I do have a question. Do you still seek a reassignment?""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir,"" Nate said softly. His hands were white from squeezing them together so hard.<br/><br/>""Then you will have the opportunity. There is a job the Bureau needs completed, a job that I think you call a 'black bag job' in the parlance of the trade."" <br/><br/>Nate raised his eyebrows. He pushed his glasses up and looked surprised.<br/><br/>""Why me?""<br/><br/>""I told the director you are an ace bug man,"" Shriver spoke up. ""Nobody better in the entire midwest.""<br/><br/>""You are indeed a fine practitioner of the voyeuristic arts,"" said Ford. ""Do you like to be privy to others private conversations, Special Agent Parker?"" <br/><br/>""Only when they say something worth hearing, sir.""<br/><br/>""Excellent. For what I have in mind, I need someone who can do the job and do it quietly. Nobody outside this room will know of it. Success will see you reassigned to the Mafia squad here in Chicago. Failure will see your outright termination. Furthermore, I will use the powers I have here at the FCB to see that you are unable to pass the bar exam in Illinois or anywhere else in the United States. I will let your brilliant legal mind atrophy purely out of spite. What do you say, Special Agent Parker?""<br/><br/>""I'm in,"" Nate said without hesitation.<br/><br/>""Nate,"" said Shriver. ""Have you ever been to Arizona?""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Sun City, Arizona</span><br/><br/>""You a Jew?"" <br/><br/>""I am.""<br/><br/>""I figured as much. With that nose, you're either a Jaw or a hawk.""<br/><br/>Shecky Lemon, insult comic extraordinaire, walked through the smoke-filled lounge room while the audience laughed and applauded. His short and dumpy little frame was illuminated by the spotlight above the stage. He squinted through the dark and picked out his next target.<br/><br/>""This your wife?"" Shecky asked a seated couple.<br/><br/>""Yes, sir,"" the man replied proudly.<br/><br/>""Yeesh,"" Lemon said into the mic. ""Don't know if you know this, sir, but bestiality is against the law. I ain't saying she's a dog, but throw a stick on the floor and see if she brings it back.""<br/><br/>From backstage, Barry Chambers watched Shecky warm up the crowd. He counted maybe two dozen watching Shecky's performance and felt a stab of disappointment at the small number. <span class=""bb-i"">This</span> was supposed to be his comeback. Two months into his year-long run at the Desert Rose and already the crowds were half of what they had started out as. The sight made him want a drink and a cigarette despite his swearing off of them. The cigarettes were bad for his voice and the booze nearly killed him ten years ago. Still, old habits were hard to kick.<br/><br/>""Folks,"" Shecky said as he climbed back onto the stage. ""We've had a lot of fun here tonight... well, I've had a lot of fun I don't know about you all. I've kidded and had a lot of fun. Why? Because I can, because I have the microphone and you don't. You've all been great sports.""<br/><br/>The piano kicked on, playing Shecky's close out number. Per his act, Shecky looked back at the piano player and scowled.<br/><br/>""That's the best you can do? Jesus. Four million piano players in this country and I got the one with palsy. Anyway, folks, I want to end my set on an uplifting note. I'll end tonight with a quote our great president Michael Norman said just the other night... 'What's going on?' I kid, but let me go ahead and bring out your headliner. You know him from thirty years of music making magic. Let me say this, because I know he's listening, Barry... I never liked you! Ladies and gentlemen, Boppin' Barry Chambers!""<br/><br/>Barry walked out on the stage amid the applause, smiling and waving at the crowd. He quickly shook hands with Shecky before the comedian darted off backstage. With a wink, Barry took the microphone into his hands and motioned for the orchestra behind him to kick up.<br/><br/>""Harbor lights,"" he crooned into the microphone. <br/><br/>The room broke out in light applause at the mention of Boppin' Barry's most famous tune. The band broke out into the slow, melodic jazz that he had sung along with for over thirty years. <br/><br/>""I saw the harbor lights. They only told me we were parting. The same old harbor lights that once brought you to me. I watched the harbor lights, how could I help if tears were starting? Goodbye to tender nights beside the silvery sea.""<br/><br/>Some middle-aged housewife in the crowd swooned as Barry broke out his wolfish grin. She was probably in grade school when Barry recorded Harbor Lights. It reminded him of his age and what he once was. He'd packed clubs and gigs so full that they were fire hazards, most of the mob was beautiful girls that were young and supple. Now, those kinds of girls had no interest in his music. Even if he did attract that type, he couldn't keep up. The new music was shit, and Barry had no problem telling everyone that. No singing, just moaning and howling, and the actual music? Like nails on a chalkboard. His kids said he was being an old fogey, but even Barry's love of all things music couldn't help him love this ""rocking music"" everyone was going crazy over.<br/><br/>""I long to hold you, dear, and kiss you just once more,"" he sang, directing his charms towards the swooning woman. ""But you were on the ship and I was on the shore. Now I know lonely nights for all the while my heart keeps praying that someday harbor lights will bring you back to me.""<br/><br/>The song faded as the band finished. The crowd applauded loudly, or as loudly as a crowd this size could applaud. The small size and the lack of enthusiasm turned him off something fierce. He felt like telling this group of rubes and hicks to fuck off and go back to whatever shithole town they lived in. But Barry was a performer, and the show had to go on.<br/><br/>""Thank you so much, folks,"" he said with a smile. ""You know how to make me feel welcomed. Thank you all for coming out tonight. It's an honor to be here at the Desert Rose and to have you all here with me. This next song we're about to play is a favorite of mine. It's called Huston. Here we go.""<br/><br/>More light applause as the band started on an uptempo number. Clarence in the band stood up and launched into the mini sax solo that started the song. After he finished, Barry started to sing.<br/><br/>""I just met Huston, he was looking for your door. He said he'd like to buy a horse...""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Little Walter led his pack of bikers down the brightly illuminated Sun City Strip. The seven choppers roared through traffic, past the flashing casino lights and gawking pedestrians. A fat man in a Hawaiian shirt stared at Walter. He smiled and flipped him off as he sped by. Walter wore his black Horde cut along with a flannel shirt, a pair of tattered blue jeans, and cowboy boots. His thick black beard blew in the wind. The rest of the Horde was just as scraggly as he was, some of them even more so. Out here in the Southwest, they were the lower class white. They weren't Mexicans or Indians, but they sure as shit got treated like they were by the people who mattered. Or at least the people who society said mattered. <br/><br/>Not giving a fuck was what the Horde was all about. They rejected society before society had a chance to do the same. They were outcasts on their own accord, a pack of misfits and rejects nobody gave a shit about before they put on the cut. Most of them were war vets, Walter included. The war fucked them up and they just couldn't fit in anymore. Walter knew that was true of himself. He'd served in the Northwest and saw what the NWC did to Seattle. How the fuck could someone see all that carnage and expect to go back to a normal life?<br/><br/>The Horde gave the guys a place in the world. They had someone who cared about him, for Little Walter cared about his guys. You didn't become president of the MC without caring about the guys and doing what it took to protect them. That's what tonight's meeting was about, protecting the club for the future. The pack raced down the Strip and out of town, heading east towards the airport on the city outskirts. <br/><br/>The motel a block away from the airport was their destination. The Board of Directors didn't want to meet in any of their casinos, and they sure as hell didn't want to come into California to talk to the Horde and the Tribe. They wanted to be on their own turf where the cops were on their payroll. Both the Horde and Tribe had cops they bought, but not like the Board. The Board had the entire Sun County Sheriff's Department in their back pocket, the entire local and state government too for that matter. The Horde and the Tribe both were small time compared to the mob and Walter knew it. He hoped one day that would change.<br/><br/>They pulled around to the back of a three-story motel where a couple of cops were waiting for them. A big guy with a blonde crewcut and a Marine Corp tattoo on his forearm was waiting with a shorter, lean guy wearing a fedora and smoking a cigarette. They flashed their deputy sheriff badges and motioned for Little Walter and his men to spread their arms and legs.<br/><br/>""Fuck you, Jarhead,"" Jerry spat, literally spitting at the big guy's feet and barely missing.<br/><br/>""Bet you fucks were a bunch of Army assholes,"" the big guy said. ""Retards with guns is what we called you.""<br/><br/>""My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment,"" said Walter. ""MARINE.""<br/><br/>The big guy was about to reply, but his partner put a hand on his shoulder and looked at Walter and the MC.<br/><br/>""Just do what he says,"" the cop said with a withered look. ""And that's coming from former Army Airborne, motherfuckers. Now spread 'em and prepared to be frisked.""<br/><br/>""What happened to the Second fucking Amendment?"" Walter asked as the big guy roughly patted him down.<br/><br/>""It's been suspended,"" the guy in the hat replied. ""This isn't America, asshole, it's Sun City.""<br/><br/>The two cops didn't find any weapons on the Horde and led them inside. The motel's conference room had a professional feel about it despite its very unprofessional clientele. A large, circular conference table was set up in the middle with chairs all around it. Sitting at a third of the table was Frenchie Gallo, operator of the Lucky Gent Casino, and members of the Board of Directors. The three guys represented the American Mafia's ruling council in Sun City. They all were representatives for one of the large crime syndicates across the country. Frenchie spoke for the Fortunato Family out of New York, Benny D'Amico was Bobby C's guy in Sun City, and Sal Valestra was the youngest brother of the L.A. boss Carmine Valestra. <br/><br/>Filling the other third of the table was the Tribe. Standing Bear Tallchief and a gaggle of a half dozen Indians were talking amongst themselves, eating the finger food the Board provided for the meeting. The Tribe members that made eye contact when the Horde came in made sure it was a cold look. Standing Bear and Walter came to a peace agreement last year, but that didn't change the contempt both sides felt for the other. Jake Tallchief in particular looked at Walter like he wanted to crush his skull. Walter knew he probably could, the big motherfucker, if he tried hard enough. Walter would never give that bastard the satisfaction. He'd gouge his fucking eyes out if he ever got close enough to lay a hand on Walter. <br/><br/>""Now that the gangs all here,"" Frenchie said as he stood. His accent was French Canadian, not enough to be thick but it was enough to remind people where he came from. ""Let's get this shit over with, huh? Everyone take your seat and we'll begin.""<br/><br/>Walter and the rest of the Horde took their seats at the table, facing Standing Bear and the Tribe. While everyone else took a seat, Frenchie remained standing. The two cops took a spot near the far wall and watched it all go down with their arms crossed, looking bored at the scene.<br/><br/>""I'd like to start this meeting by giving my thanks to Standing Bear and Little Walter both for consenting to this meeting. We know when it comes to Sun City, the Board is very protective about its interest here and any outside influence.""<br/><br/>No shit, thought Walter. After butting heads with the Board, the MC had been ruled persona non grata in Sun City for the past three years. Any biker caught on this side of the state line would get the shit beaten out of them or worse. The Horde respected the ruling because unlike the Tribe, the Board could actually back its threat with muscle. That was why they had two cops guarding the meeting. The weren't actually scared that either gang would pull something at the meeting. They just wanted to remind both the bikers and the Indians just how much of the town they owned.<br/><br/>""After several meetings with the members of the national syndicates, it has been decided to open up a new revenue scheme here in the Southwest. Where's that goddamn map?""<br/><br/>One of the young men that made up the Board's entourage passed Frenchie a map of America. The mobster eyed it and snapped at the boy to hold it up high enough for everyone to see. He pointed a fat forefinger at the west coast.<br/><br/>""We want to set up a pipeline here in the west. Law enforcement have been cracking down on our ports in the east, so we're in need of a new way to get shit into the country."" <br/><br/>""My brother Carmine in L.A.,"" said Sal Valestra, ""has given assurances that anything we wish to pass through the Los Angeles port will go through without any hassle. My brother is a man of his word.""<br/><br/>""Where do we come in?"" Standing Bear asked.<br/><br/>""Delivery service,"" replied Frenchie. ""The Horde has chapters up and down the coast, yes? It wouldn't be uncommon for you guys to ride up to Washington or, fuck, even Vancouver one weekend with a little something-something in your saddle bags. A dozen of you on a long-haul ride could carry some serious weight.""<br/><br/>""That makes sense,"" said Little Walter. ""But what the fuck do the Tribe here have to do with it?""<br/><br/>""They're what gets the shit east,"" said Benny D'Amico. ""The northern route of delivery is out of reach thanks to some disputes in the Dakotas. But if what we're smuggling can reach Sun City unharmed, we can send it on to Kansas City or New Orleans and have it in NYC in two days time. Now here in Arizona, we got everyone who matters sucking on the tit. But your part of California? That fucking desert, we don't know anyone and we don't know where to throw our money so it'll stick. But the Tribe does. The way we hear it, fucking Standing Bear has half the state legislature owing him favors and all the bigwigs in Riverside County have big tabs at the Tomahawk.""<br/><br/>""More or less,"" said Standing Bear. ""I've been in local politics a long time. I know where the bodies are buried, figuratively and literally.""<br/><br/>""Shit, buying people off,"" spat Walter. ""We could fucking do that.""<br/><br/>""You can't do shit,"" snapped Standing Bear. ""You don't have the money to buy anything other than that coke you're always snorting.""<br/><br/>""Fuck you, redman!"" <br/><br/>""Fuck you,"" Jake Tallchief said, standing. ""Talking to my uncle like that, you motherfucker!""<br/><br/>Walter stood as well and yelled over Jake's threats. ""We need another goddamn Wounded Knee for you savage assholes!""<br/><br/>""Shut the fuck up,"" Frenchie yelled, pounding his fist on the table. ""If this shit is gonna work, we need full cooperation from both of you, you hear me? Full cooperation. We can all make a lot of money by getting along. If not, you pieces of shit can go back to jerking each other off in the California desert. Am I being clear?""<br/><br/>""What's the cut?"" Standing Bear asked, still staring at Walter out the corner of his eye. <br/><br/>""The Board gets sixty percent profit, with the two of you equally splitting the remaining forty.""<br/><br/>""Fuck that,"" said Walter. ""We're taking all the risks in transport and we get the same shit as the fucking Indians who get to sit on their asses? Fuck no.""<br/><br/>""That's the opening split,"" said Frenchie. ""But if this gets humming and we make the type of profit we want, then you'll both get bumped to thirty-three percent. Three-way split between every party, we're talking tens of millions of dollars. Drugs, guns, and whatever else we want coming in from overseas and filling a demand that the consumers of America sorely need. I like to think of myself as a businessman, and this is an investment opportunity you have a chance to get into on the ground floor. But if you walk away, that's it. We will go ahead with our plans, regardless of what it does to your business. We gave you a chance, remember that.""<br/><br/>""I'm in,"" Standing Bear said without hesitation. ""That twenty percent is profit on top of profit.""<br/><br/>All eyes fell on the Horde and Walter. He looked at his guys. He was president, but he still had rules to follow. He could not decide for the club, but he and the other members here represented a quorum of the club's voting members. <br/><br/>""All those in favor?""<br/><br/>Six hands shot up in the air. Walter followed suit, raising his hand to show his consent.<br/><br/>""The ayes have it. Frenchie, we're in business.""</div>"
22208,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-12-02 17:01:00,Morden Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Shoreditch, London</span><br/><br/>There was something wrong. Fred Lambert had known that much when he’d set his head down to sleep last night. Sebastian Hedland had been sent to Liverpool yesterday morning to investigate the co-operative being set up at Daley’s Sugar Refinery and had not returned. None of his colleagues at the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> had heard from him since. He was due to return that evening. Lambert kidded himself that perhaps Hedland had checked into a hotel for a while before a few calls around Liverpool had shot that theory down. Lambert’s wife had convinced him that he was worrying over nothing and had lured him to bed. Yet even as he’d lain there he’d known something was wrong. When he arrived at the offices of the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> this morning his fears had been confirmed.<br/><br/>On the front cover of the <span class=""bb-i"">Times</span> was a picture of Richard Short. The headline above the picture read “<span class=""bb-i"">REPUBLICAN PLOTTERS UNCOVERED</span>” and the short paragraph detailed the crimes Short and his colleagues were planning. Chief amongst them was conspiracy to commit regicide – an offence punishable by death. Short was the manager of the refinery that Hedland had been sent to. Lambert thumbed through the paper in search of Seb’s name and breathed a sigh of relief upon finding it absent from its pages. He’d spend the next two hours calling around hospitals in Liverpool and the surrounding area to see if anyone that fitted Seb’s description had been admitted. There was nothing.<br/><br/>At lunchtime Lambert left the office and headed to Shoreditch to visit Seb’s flat. He hoped he might find some clue as to his protégé’s whereabouts there. Hedland had given him a spare key six months ago upon moving in that Lambert had never used before. He hoped that Hedland would understand his rooting around inside his flat whilst he was away given the circumstances. In fact, Lambert wouldn’t mind if he didn’t understand so long as he was able to find out where he was. Hedland’s parents were close friends and he’d become a surrogate son to him of sorts. They’d never forgive him if something had happened to Seb and Lambert wasn’t convinced he’d ever be able to forgive himself.<br/><br/>It was a weight off his shoulders when he saw him curled up in a ball on the sofa sleeping. Lambert let him for a few moments as he reached down for the postcard on the floor beside him. His chubby face balled up with bemusement as he eyed it front to back and set it down on the table next to the sofa. With one hand he shook Seb awake and after a few seconds the young journalist rolled over to face Lambert. His face was covered with cuts and bruises, his hands were swollen and covered in welts, but he was alive. The initial shock of Lambert’s presence faded and Hedland seemed relieved that Fred was there.<br/><br/>He moved to sit up but groaned in pain and Lambert suggested he remained where he was. Over the next twenty-five minutes Seb explained what had happened in Liverpool, about the raid at the refinery, and what the ginger-haired man had asked of him and done to him. Lambert had found that particularly hard to listen to. He’d seen the pain in Seb’s eyes as he’d described it. It explained why he’d not been able to get a hold of him, why he’d not been checked into any hospital, and most of all how he’d come to be in the state he was in. Once he’d finished speaking the chubby Political Editor reached into his bag and pulled out a few newspapers he’d bagged from the morning. Each bore an account of what had happened at Daley’s Sugar Refinery with the picture of Richard Short on the front.<br/><br/>“I wasn’t sure whether to show you these or not,” Lambert muttered as he handed the newspapers to Hedland. “I figured you’d find out one way or another so I might as well.”<br/><br/>Hedland shook his head in disbelief as he sorted through them. “What? This is nonsense… none of this is true. I asked Short whether their co-operative was a form of socialism and he… he called me a twat, for God’s sake. There’s no way Short was a socialist. Absolutely no way.”<br/><br/>“Is there some way he could have lied to you? Could have hidden it?”<br/><br/>Seb shot Lambert a glare. “I know what I saw there, Fred, and it <span class=""bb-i"">wasn’t</span> some socialist conspiracy to assassinate the King. They were just decent people trying to make a living.”<br/><br/>It made the Political Editor sick to his stomach. British intelligence had to have been behind the raid in Liverpool and that meant whoever had tortured Seb had been too. Someone in the employ of the British government had beaten and violated an innocent man all because he happened to be in the right place at the wrong time. Hedland was a journalist too. If they’d so willingly snatch him up like they had and put him through those things there was <span class=""bb-i"">nothing</span> they wouldn’t do. They were out of control. Even if Short had been behind some kind of plot it wouldn’t excuse what they’d done to Hedland. The more Lambert thought about it the more queasy he felt.<br/><br/>Seb stared at short’s face on the front of the Times. “What will happen to Ricky?”<br/><br/>“If he’s lucky he’ll hang,” Lambert said with a sigh. “If he’s not so lucky he’ll spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. I imagine the Prime Minister will push for the first option given everything that's happened of late.”<br/><br/>Even through the bruises Fred could see Seb’s face growing angrier by the second. “We need t-”<br/><br/>“Stop. Don’t even say it, Sebastian, because it’s not going to happen. Whoever did this knows where you live. They brought you here to show you that. I hate to say it but there’s nothing we can do for Mr. Short. No one will believe a word of this if we publish it and worst of all they’ll come back for you and finish what they started. I’m not going to let that happen.”<br/><br/>“I want the people that did this to pay,” Hedland said as tears welled in his eyes. “I don’t care if they kill me.”<br/><br/>Lambert placed one of his chubby hands on the journalist’s shoulder with a sigh. “Well I do, Sebastian.”<br/><br/>Hedland sobbed quietly and Lambert bent down to hug him close. He could feel the young man’s tears seeping through his shirt and onto his chest. It turned Lambert’s stomach to know what they’d done to Seb and he doubted the guilt he felt at having sent him there would never leave him. He should have let him go to Brixton. He would have been safe there. He’d have wasted a day being given the run around by some Met press officer and been back within a few hours with nothing to show for it. Instead this had happened and Lambert had no idea how to deal with it. He hugged Seb tightly as his eyes met with the postcard on the table.<br/><br/>“Try to get some more sleep,” Lambert muttered in a soothing voice. “I’ll stop by again this evening.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham</span><br/><br/>Conrad Murray stifled a yawn mid-sentence as he quizzed his students. His desk was on a raised platform at the front of the class that overlooked the eighteen desks he’d arranged in three rows beneath him. At each desk sat two students. Conrad had put together a strict seating plan and had disregarded his student’s attempts to plead with him to let them sit with their friends. Durham had told him he was wasting his time but Murray thought it was better to make the children integrate and work with people outside of their own social circles. So far it seemed to be working. Even though he was tired, having spent the night on the sofa in lieu of his argument with Honor, his students seemed receptive and willing to learn this afternoon. He was more than thankful for that.<br/><br/>Conrad pointed to a boy towards the back of the room. “Daniel, what can you tell me about the Troubles?”<br/><br/>Daniel was born to Pakistani parents that had moved to Birmingham decades ago as part of the guest worker program. There was a large contingent of British-Pakistanis in Birmingham due to the old factories that had been there before the Troubles. They kept to themselves for the most part. Daniel himself was an outgoing boy whose grades were good but not great. In any other town Daniel might go to university and get a degree. In Chelmsley Wood he’d be lucky to graduate. Conrad was determined to help him beat those odds.<br/><br/>After several seconds Daniel looked up at Conrad with a speculative smirk. “They killed the King… and Queen?”<br/><br/>‘Who killed them?”<br/><br/>Conrad could see from Daniel’s face he had no idea. The boy looked around the class room at the other students as if searching for an answer and a whisper sounded from beside him. Conrad pretended not to hear it as Daniel’s face suddenly became awash with confidence.<br/><br/>“Anarchists.”<br/><br/>“I want more than that,” Murray said as he ran a hand through his brown-red beard. “Give me some detail.”<br/><br/>Another hand shot up at the back. A boy by the name of Jason waved his hand around enthusiastically to catch Conrad’s attention. He lived on an estate not far from the school. His mother was black and father was white. He was one of Conrad’s worst students but never seemed short on enthusiasm. School was a respite for him from what waited for him out there.<br/><br/>Jason started speaking the second the young history teacher glanced in his direction. “After the Great War people didn’t really have much money and there was a lot of unemployment. People were really unhappy and thought it was unfair that the rich had nice things when most people didn’t even have jobs. So they killed the Royal Family to send a message.”<br/><br/>“That’s right,” Conrad said with a proud smile. ""Though I’m not sure unhappy is the right word. It wasn’t unhappiness that started the Troubles, though people certainly <span class=""bb-i"">were</span> unhappy, it was rage. Society broke down and the state left people behind to fend for themselves. With no support people starved, committed acts of violence we would consider barbaric, and there are a few scholars that assert that some people resorted to cannibalism. Though there’s not much surviving evidence of that. Unhappiness can’t drive a person to that. Rage? Rage can make people do <span class=""bb-i"">terrible</span> things.”<br/><br/>From across the room Daniel’s voice sounded. “It doesn’t seem right. What those people did. The King and Queen didn’t <span class=""bb-i"">choose</span> to be born the King and Queen. It’s not like they had any choice. To kill them just because of that… It’s wrong.”<br/><br/>The teacher smiled wistfully at the comment. He’d never thought of it like that. He’d never imagined what the Royal Family must have felt that day when the masses were banging on the doors. The conditions of their birth were no more of their choosing than the starving poor that were braying for their blood. <br/><br/>“Yes, it <span class=""bb-i"">is</span> wrong.”<br/><br/>The bell sounded and the classroom burst into life. The students forced books into book bags, fastened their coats, and began to break towards the exit with lightning speed. Murray didn’t bother try to stop them and instead stood up from his seat and began to wipe the board behind his desk clean.<br/><br/>As they filtered past them he called out to them. “Remember, you have a mock exam tomorrow morning so make sure you’re prepared.”<br/><br/>One by one his students disappeared through the door to Conrad’s classroom and he watched as Jason disappeared through the door last. Unlike the rest of them there was no joy on his face. There would be no hot meals or open arms waiting for him at home. He sighed and set the board eraser down on his desk. The argument he’d had with Honor was still weighing heavily on his mind. Posturing. Maybe it had been too strong, Conrad thought, maybe he should have chosen his words more carefully than he had done. It was academic. The damage had been done. Like Jason, Conrad would find no open arms waiting for him when he got home tonight. Just another night on the sofa.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Morden, London</span><br/><br/>Raucous laughter filled the Morden Tavern. In an alcove sat Ray Newman, Paul Winters, and the four other members of their darts team. Ray had just finished telling the men about the wild night out he’d been on two days ago. Newman had <span class=""bb-i"">actually</span> spent his night indoors on his own but he daren’t tell them that. They were all married with children, like Newman had been once, and living vicariously through Ray seemed to brighten their moods somewhat. In truth he wondered sometimes whether his stories served to brighten his own mood more. He’d done little of worth with his time since attending the National Front meeting in Mitcham. The meeting had brightened his spirits some. Edgar Francis understood what was really going on out there on Britain’s streets. He’d told the guys about the meeting and they’d seemed disinterested so he’d left it at that. They left their homes every other Thursday to play darts, get drunk, and ogle at women half their age. Newman couldn’t blame them for not wanting to talk politics. <br/><br/>Ray glanced round at the empty pint glasses around the table and then drank what remained of his own drink. It was his round. A lifetime of drinking had made him a dab had at carrying three pints in two hands, sometimes even four, but five was too much for even the most seasoned veteran. <br/><br/>He gestured towards Winters to the bar as he stood up from his seat. “You want to give me a hand, Paul?”<br/><br/>Winters nodded and stood up from his seat to accompany Ray to the bar. Even when he wasn’t working it was clear from the way Winters dressed that he was moneyed. The other men wore boot cut jeans, checkered shirts, and trainers that would make their children wear but Winters was something else. He wore a crisp baby blue polo shirt, smart blue trousers, shiny black brogues, and a wristwatch that looked expensive. Combined with his well-groomed white beard Winters looked out of place in the working man’s pub. Especially stood next to Newman.<br/><br/>Ray gave Paul a knowing look as they waited to be served. “How are things going?”<br/><br/>“The bosses are pouring <span class=""bb-i"">everything</span> into Oldfield’s murder but they’ve got nothing. The coloureds aren’t giving us a goddamn thing and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon. Ballistics gave us nothing on the bullets. It’s not looking good, Ray.”<br/><br/>Newman shook his head and muttered an obscenity under his breath. “What about the other thing? The coloured that got killed in Brixton?”<br/><br/>“It’s funny you mention that actually,” Winters said with a shit-eating grin. “Not longer after our little chat the world came down from upstairs to stonewall the thing. Even the bosses want me to fudge it.”<br/><br/>“What?” Newman frowned. “Are you being serious?”<br/><br/>Paul nodded. “It came as a shock to me too but I’m not about to question it. If the bosses want this thing fudged, I’ll fudge the shit out of it. I get paid at the end of the month either way.”<br/><br/>That <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> unusual. Giving the timing of the murder Newman figured they’d throw everything they had at it to get it to go away. It was why he’d lent on Winters to begin with. He hadn’t wanted resources that could have been spent finding Oldfield’s killer wasted on some coloured. If the bosses were sitting on it there had to be more going on that met the eye. Either that or <span class=""bb-i"">someone</span> up the chain was under a lot of pressure. It had to come from above Walsh. Walsh was many things but he’d never explicitly tell a detective to squash a case unless word had come from upstairs. Even then he wouldn’t like it.<br/><br/>Newman ordered five ales and waited until the bartender was out of earshot before he responded. “Maybe they’ve finally come to their senses.”<br/><br/>Across the pub the sound of a pint glass crashing to the ground was met with derisive laughter from all and Newman tittered. The bartender set each pint down in front of Newman and Winters one by one and Ray handed him a note and a handful of change. He made a pyramid out of the pint glasses and placed his hands around it and lifted them. Winters grabbed the other two.<br/><br/>“Are you coming to this thing for Oldfield?” Winters asked as they ambled back towards their seats. “The memorial service?”<br/><br/>Newman had almost forgotten. He nodded solemnly. “Yeah, I’ll be there, I owe his parents that much.”<br/><br/>It was to be held in Oldfield’s family home in Wallington. James had no girlfriend, no wife, and no children to survive him but his parents were still young. Newman couldn’t imagine the pain they felt at having to bury their only child. He’d been anxious when he heard about the private memorial they were holding if only because he feared they might ask him about that night. He didn’t want to have to tell them about what had happened or the emptiness he’d seen in their son’s eyes as he bled out. No one <span class=""bb-i"">should</span> ever have to hear that. Even now having been reminded of it for only half a second he couldn’t help but feel like whatever momentum the laughter and alcohol had given him had been stolen away. <br/><br/>Winters and Newman turned the corner to their seats where the other members of their darts team were waiting for them. They cheered as they appeared with the alcohol and Newman set the three pints he’d been carrying down on the table in front of them. Winters set his two down and shuffled back to his seat. Newman stayed standing, lifted his pint, and gestured to the other men to do the same.<br/><br/>“To getting wankered.”<br/><br/>The other men all clinked their glasses together with broad smiles. “To getting wankered.”<br/><br/>Ray titled his head back, opened his throat, and poured his pint of ale down his stomach in a few seconds. The other men cheered again in support and Newman slammed his empty pint back down on the table with a loud belch.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Embankment, London</span><br/><br/>Samuel Hobbs sat alone at a bar and ran his fingers along the edge of a glass of scotch. It was his fourth. At least he thought it was. He’d stopped counting. The bar he was sat in was a favourite of the Downing Street staffers and he’d sometime come here after work with Dominic Hewitt and some of the others after work. Today Hobbs was on his own. Hewitt was gone. He’d been dragged out of Downing Street yesterday for a misstep Hobbs had committed in his name. The first full day without Hewitt had taken its toll on Fraser Campbell’s Director of Communications. It wasn’t that he’d missed Hewitt so much as he’d spent the entire day waiting for the penny to drop and the Prime Minister to find him out. Hobbs imagined he’d carry that feeling around with him for a long time. Perhaps even long after Errol Clarke’s case file was closed. He sneered at the thought and knocked back what remained of his scotch. He spluttered a little as it crept down his throat. Hobbs <span class=""bb-i"">hated</span> scotch. Even the smell of it made him sick. It was why he was drinking it.<br/><br/>He looked up at the mirrored surface on the wall of the bar opposite him at the rail thin, pallid ghoul that sat in his grey suit. The bags under his eyes had deepened and there were deep blue veins along his eyelids. Hobbs felt like he’d aged a decade in the past week. God knows how much worse he’d look now he’d spend the next six months looking over his shoulder every morning. He ran one of his pale hands over his mouth and chin and let out a sigh. The bartender at the other end of the bar made eye contact with him and reached for a bottle of scotch.<br/><br/>He unscrewed it slowly as he looked towards Hobbs. “Another scotch?”<br/><br/>“Sure,” Hobbs said with an empty smile. “Why not?”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>Joyce Campbell sat with her long legs wrapped around her husband’s waist. Fraser Campbell was more stressed than she’d ever seen him. The events of the past week or so had gotten to him. South Africa, the Voluntary Repatriation Bill, Oldfield’s murder, and now this mess with Thomas Moore and Hewitt had put him in a particularly bad mood. She’d known the second he’d appeared in the doorway to their Downing Street apartment that he needed her comfort that evening. She gave it to him freely and he devoured it and her more greedily than he had done in months. Now they sat entwined on their large bed. She could feel her husband’s heart beating loudly in his chest as he recounted for what seemed like the fifth time the conversation he’d had with Markham-Powell. Fraser seemed certain that Moore was on maneuvers and it wouldn’t be long before he tried to oust him. Joyce kissed her husband’s back gently as her husband spoke of the Home Secretary’s weekly luncheons with King William.<br/><br/>She groaned with displease at the thought of it. “Tom always was a toady at the best of times.”<br/><br/>“Yes, well if what Markham-Powell says is true it won’t be long before he’ll be toadying up to King William from Downing Street. He’s going to make his move, Joyce. He’s been <span class=""bb-i"">everywhere</span> on the Oldfield murder and now he’s leaking things to the Palace to get them onboard. Once they are convinced there’ll be nothing to stop him.”<br/><br/>Joyce sighed. It was difficult enough talking to her husband about Thomas Moore at the best of times. Their romance still rankled Fraser even though he tried his best to disguise it. He was a sensitive man, though he tried to disguise that too, especially given the attention his wife Joyce <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> received regarding her appearance and the not-so mocking Fraser was subjected to about his. She loved him far more than she had ever loved Thomas Moore. A few wild months in Oxford were as to nothing compared to the years she’d spent with her husband. Yet still Fraser needed reassuring. She knew that Hobbs would have been as well equipped to advise Fraser on this but Joyce understood her husband needed to hear the words from her mouth.<br/><br/>They were cold, ruthless even, and Joyce could see the satisfaction upon her husband’s face upon hearing them. “You need to deal with him.”<br/><br/>“And how do you suggest I do that? If Moore goes I lose half my cabinet.”<br/><br/>“You don’t need to sack him,” Joyce said as she planted another gentle kiss on her husband’s back. “You just need to wound him. You need to get something over him so that when he makes his move you’ll be prepared. He’s too popular with the public and the Palace for us to place this one straight. We need some dirt on him.”<br/><br/>Fraser shook his head. “Trust me, I’ve had Hobbs rooting around in Moore’s past for the past two years. There’s nothing there. He might be a prat but the man is squeaky clean.”<br/><br/>Joyce blew a lock of golden blonde hair from her face as she considered how to declaw the Home Secretary in time. Moore had married a few years out of Oxford to a Parisian woman he’d met whilst travelling. She was a rare beauty even by Moore’s standards. <span class=""bb-i"">Daphne</span>. She had passed away a few years ago leaving Moore to care for their daughter on his own. He had done a good job of it. Their daughter was studying at Oxford and would likely follow in her father’s footsteps into government. Joyce wouldn’t be surprised if she ended up the first female Prime Minister some day. Outside of his daughter Moore had little to make him vulnerable. He was a staunch monarchist, tough on crime, and did little in his spare time but read, visit fancy restaurants, and frequent the capital’s theatres. He really <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> squeaky clean.<br/><br/>And then it struck Joyce. Her piercing blue eyes eyed the picture of her two children on the table beside them as she thought the idea through. For the first time in years she found herself worried to put voice to an idea in front of her husband. She had found the courage to coach Fraser from an unambitious, unspectacular student that dreamt of becoming a musician into Prime Minister and had imparted in him her republicanism along the way but <span class=""bb-i"">this</span> might have been too much. She gritted her teeth as she recounted they promise they had made all those years ago. Whatever it takes.<br/><br/>Finally she found her voice as she planted a tentative kiss on her husband’s back. “There is one way we could hurt him.”<br/><br/>Fraser glanced over his shoulder towards his wife with an inquisitive look. “How?”<br/><br/>“There’s only one thing that Tom wants more than to be Prime Minister.”<br/><br/>Her husband stared at her through his thick-lensed glasses without a hint of recognition. She had hoped she wouldn’t have to say the words, that her husband might deduce her plan from the tone she was speaking in, but it was clear from his chubby face she would have to spell it out for him. Joyce cleared her throat nervously and pushed back another lock of her hair from her eyes. She stared her husband in the face and muttered the word that she knew he wanted to hear least.<br/><br/>“Me.”</div>"
22209,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-12-03 05:33:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Washington D.C.</span><br/><br/>""Mr. Vice President, how would you and the Second Lady like your steaks cooked?""<br/><br/>""Medium rare,"" Russell replied.<br/><br/>Peter Kelly, Senate Majority Leader, plopped two thick steaks on his charcoal grill. Russell, Kelly, and Senate Majority Whip Rod Marston stood huddled around the grill on the balcony of Kelly's Georgetown apartment. They were dressed in casual wear, khaki pants and simple button-up shirts. Marston wore cowboy boots with his outfit. All three men had beers in their hands.<br/><br/>""And the honorable junior Senator from Arizona?"" Kelly asked.<br/><br/>""All questions and responses are to be directed to the President of the Senate,"" Russell cut in.<br/><br/>They all chuckled at Russell's joke. The archaic Senate rules stated that any and all comments on the Senate floor could not be directed at any colleague in particular, just through the presiding office. Like the formal rule that all senators must refer to themselves and each other in the third person it was one of the many old rules that hamstrung the institution. <br/><br/>""Mr. President,"" Marston said with his beer raised, ""Inform the honorable senior Senator from Montana that the junior Senator from Arizona and his wife like their steaks at a nice medium.""<br/><br/>""So, gentlemen,"" Russell said once their laughter subsided. ""How are things in your home states?""<br/><br/>Kelly flashed a grin. Despite being from a sparsely populated western state, Kelly wasn't what you thought of when you thought of Montana or the west. He was a former political scientist and academic that was drafted into running for the Senate by the Republican Party in Montana. He was the only member of the congressional leadership who could quote the Constitution and Proust with equal aplomb. <br/><br/>""Same old same old,"" Kelly said with a shrug. ""The beef industry is what anyone cares about out there. As long as the US keeps up its agricultural exports I'm golden.""<br/><br/>""Cows? That's it?"" Marston asked.<br/><br/>Kelly laughed. ""Rod, you've got to remember that the people of Montana are just simple farmers, people of the land. The common clay of the West. You know... morons.""<br/><br/>""I wish I had morons,"" Martson laughed. ""Arizona is nothing but one giant handout. Everyone's looking to get paid.""<br/><br/>""Including the state's junior senator,"" Kelly said with a wink.<br/><br/>While the Majority Leader turned his attention to the steaks, Russell glanced towards the balcony door. Just through the glass door was the kitchen and the wives of the three men. Russell caught Robin's eye and saw her bored expression lighten when she saw her husband. Henrietta Kelly was a pleasant enough lady who was devoted to her husband, but she was a bland woman who only talked about our family. Peggy Marston was the complete opposite. Twenty-five years Rod's junior, she was a former Sun City showgirl that the Senator had only recently married. She had bleached blonde hair and wore too tight dresses and talked about nothing but jewelry and all the things she liked to buy with the money ""Roddy"" doled out to her. <br/><br/>""I need to head out there someday,"" Russell said as he turned back to the men. ""Never been to Sun City, but I'd like to see it for myself. I've never had much of a taste for gambling. A sure thing is much more reassuring.""<br/><br/>""You're a gambler, Russ,"" Marston said with a short laugh. ""If you weren't, you'd still be in the Senate with us.""<br/><br/>""You got me there,"" Russell said with his hands raised. ""I made a gamble on that one. Still not sure if it's going to pay off.""<br/><br/>""In Sun City, we call that the long con.""<br/><br/>""Speaking of that,"" said Kelly. ""What's the reason for crashing our lovely steak dinner, Mr. Vice President? What's your game?""<br/><br/>""I'm here on presidential orders, I'm afraid,"" Russell said after sipping his beer. ""The President is heading out of town next week. Aren't you going with him, Pete?""<br/><br/>""I'm flying back to Montana and touring with him when he goes through the state. But that's not for a few more weeks.""<br/><br/>""And in that time, the president would like to see that Ethiopian foreign aid appropriations bill put on the legislative calendar at the very least.""<br/><br/>Kelly grunted as he flipped the steaks. ""I was planning on doing that, Russ, but the problems you'll have won't be with the Republicans. Your problem is with--""<br/><br/>Marston whistled a few bars of ""Dixie."" <br/><br/>""We like the bill,"" Kelly shrugged. ""Hell, everyone is tripping over themselves to support this foreign aid stuff. But your pals are going to drag their feet like always. I'm going to recommend the bill be sent to Foreign Relations where Bill Dixon's the chairman. He's borderline Southern Caucus.""<br/><br/>""What's Dixon's bloc of Senators look like?"" Russell asked.<br/><br/>""He's got about a dozen in his back pocket,"" said Marston. ""And that's just the ones we know for certain. He may have as many as twenty Republican senators. If they work in tandem with the Southern Caucasus, that's nearly half the Senate in alliance.""<br/><br/>""Why don't you do something?"" Russell asked Kelly. ""You're Majority Leader, Pete. For god's sake, get them in line behind you.""<br/><br/>""You don't understand,"" said Kelly. ""I don't have the type of power you had. The second you left the Senate, Dixon and Helms and the others made sure to strip away all the powers the Majority Leader had. I can lead floor debates and schedule the legislative calendar, but that's about it. I can't control committee assignments like you could and the reelection steering committees are led by seniority now. Nobody needs to listens to me. I'm just... not you.""<br/><br/>No shit, thought Russell. It didn't surprise Russell to find out that the Senate had made the Leader toothless once again. It had been like that eight years earlier when Russell took over the job. He'd found ways to abolish, temporarily at least, the rigid seniority system that decided committee assignments and had the Leader decide who served on which committee. He'd also set up a reelection steering committee that donated money and resources to incumbent senators, with the Majority Leader as chairman of that committee. Every Democrat was beholden to him for committee assignments and reelection help. No matter if a man served twenty years in the Senate, they had to come crawling on their hands and knees, quite literally in the case of poor Bob Osborne from Tennessee, for Russell's approval. For eight years he was the second most powerful man in the country, second only to President Fernandez. And now that power was gone, not just from him but from the Senate altogether.<br/><br/>Russell stayed silent as Kelly put the steaks on a plate and tossed two more on the grill.<br/><br/>""How's Dixon doing it?""<br/><br/>""Dixon Oil,"" said Marston. ""Or at least that's what it looks like. He's going around the steering committees and Senate re-election funds and having his oil company donate straight to candidates. Of the Republicans that came into the Senate in the election, over two-thirds of them are caucusing with him. They ran campaigns above their means and requested very little money from the steering committee.""<br/><br/>Power is where power goes.<br/><br/>Bill Dixon had said those very words to Russell the night of the presidential inauguration. They'd been huddled in a corner talking shop while everyone watched Norman and his wife glide across a ballroom floor. Dixon was so sure that he wouldn't need the Majority Leader role to accumulate power and he was right. Power is where power goes, and now the power Russell had once wielded was gone. It had been dismantled by vengeful and power hungry senators. The power vacuum they created was filled by Dixon's oil money. <br/><br/>Kelly finished off his beer and looked at Russell with an arched eyebrow. He'd noticed Russell's faraway look and scowling. <br/><br/>""Just reevaluating my roll of the dice,"" Russell said when he noticed Kelly's staring. ""I may have pushed my luck too far.""<br/><br/>""In Sun City parlance, we'd say you crapped out,"" said Marston.<br/><br/>""Crapped out,"" Russell grunted. ""That sounds about right.""<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>""Over fifty years ago, I had my first White House visit,"" Senator Wilbur Helms said through his oxygen mask. ""President Wheeler was here then. He was a son of a bitch.""<br/><br/>White House Chief of Staff Jeff Brewer pushed the decrepit old man down the halls of the West Wing in a wheelchair. He utterly detested Helms. The octogenarian represented all that was wrong with Washington and the American political system. The Southern minority that controlled the upper house of Congress did not speak for the majority of America. They were 19th century men, Helms quite literally, who had turned the once great deliberative body into a place of negation. Even with the Socialist paradigm shift across the country, they still held on firmly to their Senate power. <br/><br/>That power did not come from any particular set of skills. They weren't brilliant, Senator Matheson from Texas struggled through the speeches he read on the Senate floor. Nor were they great political operatives. Helms' colleague from South Carolina, Larry Beasley, was reputed to nap frequently at committee meetings. They were old, every single one of them. At forty-seven, Jim Sanderson was the youngest member of the Southern Caucus by nearly twenty years. The age was a major problem due to the seniority system. Senator Byrd from Alabama, the ranking Democratic member of the Armed Service Committee, often forgot where he was. When he was committee chairman, the senator in charge of congressional oversight of American defense would snap his head up suddenly and bang the gavel against the conference table to call to order a meeting that had already started an hour before.<br/><br/>Age and age alone was why they were in power. And their power derived from their constituents. Simply because the people in the states that elected them voted Democrat and nothing more, these hateful, ignorant men had the federal government at their mercy. These men with all the power could walk, or be pushed as in Helms' case, into the Oval Office and make demands. <br/><br/>Helms wheezing filled the quiet West Wing corridor Jeff pushed him down. It was late at night, most of the staff had gone home for the day. Those that were here still were like Jeff and did not leave until the president did. They were the most dedicated and loyal of the White House staff and would not feed the Washington rumor mill with talk about Helms' late night visit.<br/><br/>Jeff opened the door leading into the Oval Office and pushed Helms through the threshold. Leaning against the Resolute desk was President Norman. His suit jacket was off and tossed onto the sofa facing the desk and his shirt sleeves were rolled up to the elbow. <br/><br/>""Senator Helms,"" the president said with a soft smile. ""Welcome.""<br/><br/>Norman stepped forward and gently shook Helm's wrinkled, arthritis ridden hand. The old man smiled through his gas mask, showing the president a mouth of yellow teeth.<br/><br/>""I was beginning to wonder if you'd forgotten about me, Mr. President. I've had many a meetings in this office with a new president, but not this late into the start of their administration.""<br/><br/>""Well, I apologize for that, Senator."" <br/><br/>""It's not you fault,"" Helms said graciously enough before adding. ""You're still new to how we do politics around here. You're just ignorant.""<br/><br/>Jeff felt a flash of anger go through him. He was glad he was standing behind Helms so the old man couldn't see his face. The president could, however. Norman's eyes flashed a hint of amusement as he patted Helms' hand and smiled. <br/><br/>""You're right, Senator. I'm still learning the ropes here.""<br/><br/>You're a better man than I, Jeff thought. President Norman stood and motioned for Jeff to park Helms next to the sofa. He sat while Jeff placed the aging senator next to the couch. Jeff took a seat on the sofa opposite the two men, something Helms noticed and scowled at.<br/><br/>""Now I thought it was just gonna be the two of us.""<br/><br/>""Jeff is my chief of staff,"" said the president. ""He's been serving in that capacity even when we were in the Army. He's my right-hand man. Whatever you can say to me, you can say to him.""<br/><br/>""No, I believe it's you who has something to say,"" Helms wheezed. ""You called this meeting, Mr. President. I'm waiting to hear what you want to talk about.""<br/><br/>""The bill on foreign aid to Ethiopia is coming to the Senate, and I want assurances that the Southern Caucus will not try to kill or hijack the bill.""<br/><br/>""I'm but one man,"" he said sheepishly. ""There are twenty-one other senators who make up the Southern Caucus, each one their own man with their own principles and ideals.""<br/><br/>""We both know that's not true. You tell those senators to jump and they say how high."" Norman leaned forward, his finger pointing at the old man. ""Senator, I'm already tired of having to scrap and fight for every piece of legislation that's important to the country.""<br/><br/>""Checks and balances."" Helms laced his pale and twisted fingers together and smiled at the president. ""The Senate is the ultimate check against the power of the executive."" <br/><br/>""No matter what public opinion has to say on the matter?"" Jeff asked.<br/><br/>Helms' white faced showed a flash of red as he snarled at Jeff. <br/><br/>""You better mind your manners, boy! Mr. President, is how you train your staff? If this boy were on my staff I'd have him flogged for speaking out of turn.""<br/><br/>""I apologize, Senator,"" the president said with a slightly annoyed look towards Jeff. ""I'll see that he's punished adequately. But he does raise a point. Time and time again your body blocks legislation that the House, the president, and even the voters all want and approve of.""<br/><br/>""That's horseshit,"" said Helms. ""People are idiots, they don't know what they want. Our Founders thought the same thing. It's why they created the chamber I serve in. The whole reason the Senate exist is to fight against the tyranny of the majority. You want a bill passed through our chamber? Convince us of its merits, or at least give us something in return.""<br/><br/>A silence settled in as both Jeff and the president took in the last bit of information from Helms.<br/><br/>""Vice President Reed said you'd try to pull something like this,"" said Norman.<br/><br/>""That man is a two-faced snake, but he's right on this matter.""<br/><br/>The president looked towards Jeff before turning back to Helms.<br/><br/>""What is it you want?""<br/><br/>""The nigger bill,"" Helms hissed. His entire mouth seemed to twist as he said that word. ""I do not want no goddamn bills passing Congress that support federal nigger rights.""<br/><br/>Jeff felt his anger rising at the man's callous use of the racial slur. Like always, the president took it all in stride and ignored it.<br/><br/>""Like you reminded me, Senator, Congress is beyond my control. I can't stop a liberal Congressman or Senator from writing up a bill and bringing it to the floor.""<br/><br/>""But you can stay neutral on the matter,"" Helms snapped. ""You've said a lot of goddamn things about niggers that make us in the South worried. And then sending that sum bitch Reed to meet with those agitators only worsened matters. I understand you can't come out against civil rights, I know how politics works even though you think I don't. What I want is your solemn promise that you will not push for any type of civil rights bill for the next four years. Anything comes up on the House or Senate floor you stay silent on the matter. Civil rights is an issue for the states. Let us deal with our own niggers our own way.""<br/><br/>Norman looked at Jeff again. Jeff nodded slowly.<br/><br/>""What do I get in return?"" The president asked.<br/><br/>""This foreign aid bill will pass and you'll have full Southern support behind your legislative agenda, within reason. You try any of that socialist shit like Fernandez and I promise you we'll be filibustering day and night.""<br/><br/>The president stood and walked away from Helms and Jeff. He walked around the Resolute desk and gazed out the Oval Office window at the rose garden outside. Jeff knew the deep deliberation the president was currently engaged in. He'd witnessed it many times over the years when the general stood at a crossroad on some important matter. <br/><br/>""Okay,"" he said after a long minute of silence. <br/><br/>The president turned around and leaned forward against the desk, staring at Helms while he spoke.<br/><br/>""In exchange for Southern Caucus support in the Senate, I promise you that I will not interfere in any civil rights legislative battles.""<br/><br/>Helms smiled widely and wheezed out a laugh. It was a short, harsh little thing that sounded more like a death rattle than a joyful noise.<br/><br/>""Well, hot damn. I knew you'd come to your senses, Mr. President!""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Natchez, Mississippi</span><br/><br/>The sound of gunshots woke Will Johnson from his sleep. He sprung up from the bed and was on the balls of his feet as he raced across the bedroom to his chest of drawers. His wife Shelby was still rubbing sleep from her eyes while Will pulled the rifle from the bottom drawer. It was his rifle from the war. It had served him well during that bitter fighting in the Midwest. He thought he'd never have to use it again after putting it in the bottom drawer three years ago. He still hoped that was the case.<br/><br/>""What's going on?"" Shelby asked, still half asleep.<br/><br/>""Get the kids and get in the cellar. Lock yourself in from the inside.""<br/><br/>""Will?""<br/><br/>He heard more gunshots on top of each other. They were shotgun blasts followed by loud whooping. It was a sound many black people in the South had come to fear. It was the Rebel Yell. There was a cold feeling in the pit of Will's stomach as he loaded a magazine of bullets into the semi-automatic rifle.<br/><br/>""Shelby, baby. Go get the children and get in the cell. Now.""<br/><br/>It had finally dawned on Shelby what was going on. Without a word, she leapt from the bed and raced down the hallway to the two rooms where their four children slept. Will gripped the rifle tight and stood up. He padded through the halls of the house, ignoring his children's confused questions. Shelby raced by with six-month-old Samuel in her arms while seven-year-old Antwan came behind her holding the hands of five-year-old Lucas and three-year-old Ruth. Will followed them to the back porch where the entrance to their cellar lay. A gunshot made Ruth flinch and cry. Her biggest brother tried to console her as Shelby opened up the cellar door and ushered the children in.<br/><br/>""Come inside with us,"" Shelby said once the children were down inside.<br/><br/>""No, I'm gonna call for help and see what's going on outside. There's not enough room for me inside there.""<br/><br/>""Will, don't be stupid,"" Shelby chided. ""We can make it fit. Get inside now.""<br/><br/>""I'll be back,"" he said as he kissed her on the cheek. ""Now get in there, you hear?""<br/><br/>She hesitated before going down inside. He gave her a playful swat on the rump and closed the heavy wooden doors behind her. He waited until he heard her bolt the locks before he turned and headed towards their telephone on the kitchen wall. The line had no dial tone nor the voice of an operator asking for a connection. Will closed his eyes and sighed, replacing the phone back on the cradle with shaky hands. Help would not be coming, the ones outside had seen to that. He held the rifle up and walked front door. He could hear voices as he approached the door. It wasn't until he was almost there that he realized he was only wearing a pair of boxers.<br/><br/>""Come on out now, boy.""<br/><br/>Standing in front of Will's front porch were a group of six men. They all wore burlap sack masks on their heads and two carried shotguns. He saw white flesh peeking out from their short shirt sleeves. Even from this far away he could smell the liquor on the six men.<br/><br/>""Help you gentlemen?"" Will asked. <br/><br/>""We was hoping to help you, boy,"" one of them said, spitting a wad of tobacco juice from the mouth hole of his mask. ""Help you and all your little nigger pals see the way of things.""<br/><br/>""Boy,"" Will repeated. ""My daddy is the only one who gets to call me boy. None of y'all are him.""<br/><br/>""I might be your daddy,"" one of them hooted. ""I had me a thing for nigger pussy back in the day. It's all pink on the inside, boy.""<br/><br/>""That's a nice rifle you got, boy. What white man you steal that from?""<br/><br/>""I got it from the US Army,"" Will replied with a smirk. ""Yessir, I got to shoot all kinds of white men during the war. I think I developed a taste for it. Now, I'm gonna give you fellas to the count of ten."" He loaded a round into the rifle. ""If y'all aren't off my property by the time I get to that number, I'm gonna start shooting.""<br/><br/>""You can count to ten, boy?""<br/><br/>""Count higher than you peckerwoods.""<br/><br/>""We ain't going anywhere,"" one of them said. ""And the second you point that rifle at any of us, we open fire and kill your black ass. Then we go inside and rape your woman and kill your pickaninnies.""<br/><br/>""Goddamn cowards,"" said Will, his anger pushing through his collected facade. ""You fucking rednecks come to my home and threaten me and my family and wear masks and carry shotguns. You're a bunch of goddamn cowards, the whole lot of you. You can't handle a fucking black man one on one, and you all fucking know it.""<br/><br/>""Watch your mouth, boy,"" one of the masked men said, racking a round into his shotgun.<br/><br/>""Y'all afraid to fight me,"" Will said with a bitter laugh. ""That's what it is. I'll make you fine and upstanding white men a deal. One of you fight me one on one. I win, you all go back to fucking your sisters and cows. I lose, lynch me or whatever you want to do with me but it stops with me. Not my wife and not my children.""<br/><br/>""Fuck you--""<br/><br/>""Do it,"" one of the men said with a giggle. ""I wanna see this uppity nigger get his ass beat before we kill him.""<br/><br/>It got quiet between the six masked men. They lowered their voices so Will couldn't hear them discuss whatever it was they were discussing.<br/><br/>""No guns,"" one of them said to Will after deliberation. ""We'll put ours on the truck if you leave yours on the porch.""<br/><br/>""I won't need a fucking gun to take care of you. Now, y'all pick which one of you that wants to get their ass whipped.""<br/><br/>True to their word, the white men put their shotguns on the hood of one of the two pick-up trucks they rode in, parked in the driveway to block Will's own truck. Will left his rifle on the porch and stood facing the biggest of the six white men while his five comrades stood in a semi-circle watching. The white man was bigger than Will by at least three inches, putting him at six foot two, but he was also forty to fifty pounds heavier. The weight was all fat. He was some white man who had a soft job. He wasn't like Will. Twenty years of twelve and fourteen hour days out in the cotton fields had made him wiry and lean. He was the only man in basic training that had to actually put on weight in order to meet the Army's requirements. <br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Web007rzSOI"" rel=""nofollow"">(Mood Music)</a><br/><br/>The white man made the first swing. It was a slow and telegraphed thing that Will saw coming all the way. He dipped and dodged it with ease. Will wanted so bad to make the fist blow, but he knew he couldn't. He could mop the floor with this slow and fat redneck, but he had to act in defense. Being too aggressive would draw their ire, and these drunken white men held his life and the life of his family in their hands. In the back of his mind he knew they were just toying with him, but he held out hope that they would be true to their word and let them live if he won.<br/><br/>Will felt a growing sense of unease from the men after another slow punch he avoided. One of them muttered something about him being too fast, about how he and his whole kind were bred to be fast and vicious like animals. That flipped something inside of him. Will had always been rash when it came to matters of race. He was far bolder than other black men his age. Compared to James Calhoun down the road, he was a downright radical. The crack from the white man set off his old trigger. <br/><br/>A hard right hook knocked the white man backward into his friends. They shoved him forward and he stumbled right into Will's waiting right uppercut. He felt like Jack Johnson reincarnated as he hit the drunken white man with a three punch combo that sent him reeling. The fight was his and he knew it. And he hoped like hell these peckerwoods knew it too. His rage over years and years of forced subservience to white trash came boiling out as he fought this white man. One more slow punch got countered and a vicos right jab made something pop inside the burlap mask. It was his nose, Will knew right away that he had broken it with his fist. The white man yelled and started to grab it. Will was preparing to go in for the kill when he felt something hard crash against the back of his head. The blow sent him spinning to the ground. He looked up and saw one of the men standing above him with a revolver in his hands, the barrel dripping his blood. Five of the white men stomped on him while he was on the ground, the sixth nursing his broken nose. Their hard soled boots crashed against his body. Will screamed as he felt a bone in his leg snap. He bit his tongue and stopped screaming as blood filled his mouth. He felt his jaw snap at the same time the back of his skull fractured.<br/><br/>""Fucking cheating nigger,"" one of them said. <br/><br/>Will tried to talk, but his body was in too much pain to muster up a response. The left him there and went towards their trucks. He tried to move, but the pain that went through his body was too much to bear. Two of the men came back into view. They carried a pair of glass bottles with cloth stuck down the neck. Will tried to scream, but it came out as a muffled and bloody rasp. He forced his body to move, fighting through the pain to crawl towards the men with the bottles. The men lit the rags on fire with lighters and tossed them at the house. The gas-filled bottles exploded against the house and consumed the home in flames. Within seconds, it was a raging inferno.<br/><br/>Trying to muster every bit of his willpower, Will tried to force himself to get back up and get his rifle off the porch. One of the men stood over him with a shotgun. From somewhere far away, Will heard the sounds of his family screaming and he smelled the scent of burning flesh.<br/><br/>""This is what happens to niggers who don't know their place.""<br/><br/>He brought the butt of the shotgun down on Will's face.</div>"
22210,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-12-05 04:22:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Moscow</div><br/><br/>Ullanhu was stirred awake. He looked out the window to see that the sun was barely up over the horizon. A foggy, cloudy mist hung over Moscow, and Vasiliy hung over him. Unspeaking, the Chinese agent rolled out of bed and got dressed. Withdrawn, with his mouth taped shut, Vasiliy moved to the other-room to prepare. Though his head was still full of an early morning fuzz that eclipsed his proper thought, the Mongol knew well enough what was happening today.<br/><br/>He forced his arms through the heavy sleeves of his agent's black coat and walked into the main room fully dressed. With the straight expression of the ready surgeon, he looked up at Vasiliy sitting at the table, loading a semi-automatic pistol and counting his spare magazines. “Let's get this done.” Ullanhu said in a low voice.<br/><br/>Vasiliy nodded with full acknowledgment. He tucked the handgun under his suit as he rose to his feet, loading the spare rounds into hidden pockets underneath his western-style suit coat. In this moment, the young agent (for once) looked less like the boy Ullanhu had met and more like the soldier he was. His face was gaunt and solid, still and unwavering like a rock, as they walked out into the putrid gray halls of the apartment they had adopted. They left their safe-house behind and passed onto the foggy streets in the interior of Moscow.<br/><br/>Ullanhu had not gotten to see much of the city. It was from the safety of the window that the Chinese agent had beheld the large circular city, with its networks of ring roads and radiating main thoroughfares that gave the city the layout of a wagon wheel. Clusters of romantic church steeples rose up, among the blocks of late 19th century bricked buildings, or dwarfed in the midst of mid-century high-rises, who's taller apartments and offices were built to compliment the pride felt in Russia about its heritage.<br/><br/>It was from the safety of that apartment window that he had looked down at the edge of Europe. He realized what he saw was not the methodical planning of a nation trying to prove its own modernity in the most brash way possible, with as much steel as it could muster. It was a city that sat at the pivot of Russia, and epitomized its national identity. It richly straddled its old and new identity in defiance of Russia's new national character; teetering on the precipice towards anarchy, but failing to recognize that. <br/><br/>They slipped through a checkpoint manned by grueling, butcher-faced Polish paramilitaries. Ullanhu watched the graying stone of the once vibrant edifices of urban Moscow. He thought to himself that this would be the last time he might ever see a European city. When they rode out to establish themselves for their major plot, he might not return from beyond the Urals.<br/><br/>He managed a passing look at his unlikely partner. Vasiliy looked ahead with a deadened face. The Russian's features were pulled gaunt as he handled the steering wheel with the stiffness of a puppet. Ullanhu knew that look of finality; it told him that the two of them had dove over the edge. At any time up until now, they could have given up. Vasiliy, if he wished, could have fled to Novogorod and traded his allegiance to Radek. Ullanhu could have abandoned the mission all together, made his way back into China, and reported Jun dead; he had heard so little from his former partner that he could only assume much.<br/><br/>But both men's loyalty was proven now. Without threat of a gun to the head, they were to throw themselves upon the spears of the enemy, and to make off with the most powerful man in the Republic.<br/><br/>They passed over the Moskva river and headed north-east.<br/><br/>-----------------------<br/><br/>By the time they reached their destination, the sun had risen enough that the historic Russian capital was beginning to stir awake. The mist had dispersed and left behind only a glistening sheet of sweat on the concrete, rocks,  timber, and glass.<br/><br/>Sitting in the middle of an empty parking lot, Vasiliy killed the engine, and it's deep rumble fell to a sharp sleepy silence. He sat with his hands held tight on the steering wheel, staring ahead. “This, I be back to.” he spoke stiffly.<br/><br/>Ullanhu looked out the car windows. The scene outside was little more but a empty car park with a concrete dome at its middle. He noted they were parked in just the right way so that the gaping maw of the concrete egg shell was directly facing the car. It was no more than perhaps fifteen meters away. All around their position, sleepy wooden apartments stood over narrow roads, their windows dark with curtains drawn shut.<br/><br/>“So, you think your plan will hold up?” Ullanhu asked. He couldn't claim that he wasn't nervous. In fact the whole of his being was knotted and he was sure that he sounded just as tense as he felt. His hands and arms hung heavy and numb at his sides, and he twiddled his thumbs on his lap.<br/><br/>“Da.” Vasiliy quivered. Ullanhu looked over at him and saw he was shivering, “I just need prepare.” he laughed nervously. Taking a deep inhaling breath he beat his hand on the the steering wheel.<br/><br/>“Keys.” he said briskly, throwing onto Ullanhu's lap the scratched brass ignition and door keys, and he jumped when they landed softly in his lap. <br/><br/>“If I is not back in hour half, then I is compromised. Leave city, mission is fail. Back to China you go, ok?”<br/><br/>Ullanhu scooped up the keys and nodded. Vasily looked like he had seen ghosts; his face was pale and stretched. He hoped dearly he could regain his composure as he opened the door to step out. “I be fine.” he managed to say, “I will be fine.” he repeated in his native Russian, reigning his confidence back to him.<br/><br/>He slammed the door shut and Ullanhu scooted over the bench seat into the driver's side, where he watched his Russian partner stroll to the nearby bus stop. With any luck, the buses wouldn't be late.<br/><br/>Sliding down into the seat and preparing to look as if he was napping, Ullanhu watched Vasiliy through the rear-view mirrors. The Russian looked something like a phantom. He barely seemed to exist among the old men who filed in alongside him, waiting for the bus.<br/><br/>Within moments the bus arrived. The hiss of its breaks was muffled from the glass and metal skin of the car. It stopped at the isolated bus-stop and let in the gathered small crowed. With a diesel roar, it puttered off down the road and disappeared.<br/><br/>And again, Ullanhu was utterly alone. He began counting down the minutes.<br/><br/>-----------------------<br/><br/>Vasiliy could feel the rumble of the bus under his feet. They tumbled through the narrow streets of Moscow, and he watched the city, where he had once grown up, pass by through the greasy, faded windows where the stains of weather, sun, and human use had baked a frosty layer of permanent filth into the glass. His gut turned in his belly. He drummed his fingers across his legs. His nerves had him.<br/><br/>Passing into the center of Moscow, the structure of the city began to take on a much older glow. There was a resilient regalia to the stone and stucco faces of the buildings and shops that remained after the Imperial decline. But all too often, the bus would saunter past windows that were boarded up. In a manner of thinking, the concept of stealing off with the president of the Republic and holding him as hostage was validated, considering how Russia's Third Rome had declined.<br/><br/>But for this, it didn't quite absolve him of his lingering anxieties. For all the infiltration he had done to get within the Republican congress enough to report their agenda to Makulov, and for all the efforts breaking into the ranks of the local military, and even Yekaterinburg's police, the mission against the president felt like pennies to the prize he and Ullanhu were to go after. His mind raced with the frenetic energy of a frantic dormouse as he chased past the doubts. He could use more men. He could have possibly spent more time. Perhaps he should have found a way to bring the president out of the city; to get him into the country and separate him from his guard.<br/><br/>But he couldn't have more men; he would lose subtlety and there would be more factors to failure. He couldn't get more time; the progress of the Chinese was cutting into that. As well, he wouldn't be able to get Alexander Belyakov away from the Kremlin.<br/><br/>All the evidence agreed that Belyakov had been elected on Polish funds and his guard was the same Polish-born para-military outfit that saw to the city's security. Belyakov's removal was not so much a means to end the war quickly, but a way to remove Polish influence and to force Krakow to severe ties with the Russian region. Vasiliy was certain that Makulov didn't tell Ullanhu this; the Chinese didn't need to know. Though Vasiliy had not been told either, he could clue himself in based on the intelligence that he knew, and the wider picture he had now.<br/><br/>It was now just a manner of reaching Belyakov before his Polish security detail could get too close for the routine office duties. Passing to the gates of the Kremlin, he began to concoct his lie. He needed a good one to move the president off the routine path so that he could take control.<br/><br/>The bus stopped, and he stepped out.<br/><br/>Vasiliy walked in the shadows along the edge of Red Square. He passed towering baroque buildings, the washed vanilla-white walls of the Upper Trading Rows building, and the darkened offices that flanked its impressive arched face and tall narrow windows. Immense and long in its dimensions, the square's dark bricks glowed a golden red in the rising sun as a clear overhead sky started to flourish. Flanking it either ends, the indomitable St.Basil's Cathedral stood at the head of the empty square, its round onion and turnip-shaped domes pointing up into the sky. Crooked golden crosses crowned each point and gave an air of the last and only remaining splendor in the city.<br/><br/>At the far end, the spiked red crown of the Imperial museum stood as if in solemn mourning to the statue of the emperor outside its front doors, powerfully suggesting the Tzar's equality to the bronze statue of the Rus warriors out front of Basil's. But even as far as Vasiliy was from it (he was approaching Spasskaya Tower), he knew that statue was the last to be erected for the late czar Nicholas.<br/><br/>Only a brief checking in of his credentials stood between Vasiliy and the Kremlin proper. The guards up front looked sleepy, leaning over scratched wooden tables in the vacant interior of the tower. Over cups of warm tea, they glanced at the badge Vasiliy had thrown to them before handing it back with as little energy as they could afford. He now had employee clearance.<br/><br/>Within the walls, the Kremlin became much more than a location. Guarded behind its towering red 15th century walls was something of a city within a city. A nest of over a dozen large offices, serving as not only the Moscow residence of the Czars, but also the functions of states when it was not in Sankt-Petersburg. Glowing private churches offered weight to the old regime's power being vested by God, and Russia's succession as the Empire of Rome. It was a village of God and of royalty at the heart of a city of God. A fortress that sat as the axle of the world guarded behind bloodied walls.<br/><br/>The inside of the Kremlin was just drearily awake while the rest of Moscow was only now waking up. There were no cars to drive its streets; those that did were clearly military. Public servants and attendees to the president's office and to the Republican command strolled along the side of the narrow roads under the protection of garden trees on one side or the imposing offices of the Republican state on the other.<br/><br/>Vasiliy had to make quick time, and he picked up his pace as he passed Ivanovskaya Square and the massive bell and cannon displayed there.<br/><br/>He slowed to a brisk jog and hugged up against the presidential palace. The door gave no protest as he bustled into its opulent interior.<br/><br/>Vasiliy's feet echoed in the towering cavern-halls of the palace, with its rich interior of frosted white and shimmering white marble, and its glossy reflective floors, the presidential palace was a structure of high decadence. It was filled with a still air where suited attendants and secretaries shuffled along the carpeted corridors under the buzzing yellow lights of crooked eagle-claw wall lamps. On his search for the president, he shifted between a world netted in gold leaf, ebony and pearl, and into the heavenly frosty corridors of its being and tall vaulted cathedral ceilings.<br/><br/>Ultimately, he found him. Alexander Belyakov was a well built man with a heavy frame, and a wrinkled balding head, which looked between officials and representatives of across the Republic. The company that held his attention looked sparse at its best; a few idle stragglers seeking his ear to finish the night's last drawn breath. Vasiliy slowed to a walk, and fought his breath to the ground. He calmed the fidgeting feeling at the back of his mind, trying with the effort of a bear to bring a reasonable collected air.<br/><br/>Vasiliy entered the loose group who sought his attention. And as the squabbling of hens subsided enough that he could speak, he grabbed his attention, settling on his lie. “President Belyakov.” he spoke up, speaking in a high voice as to catch his gaze, but not so much that he yelled his name.<br/><br/>The heavy slab of a man turned to Vasiliy's direction. A pair of frame-less bifocals rested at the tip of a heavy hooked nose. The president's gaze was long and unsympathetic, falling on Vasiliy with a surprising weight in his calm blue eyes. He folded his hands, waiting for the agent to speak.<br/><br/>“Sir, Gregoyovich to see you.” said Vasiliy.<br/><br/>The president's eyes exploded with a shocked light. All at once, he straightened his back and widened his shoulders. It put on him as much a weight as was on Vasiliy's shoulders, and he could see the sudden glint of uncertain anxiety deep in the President's gaze. He became less expectant, and almost more afraid.<br/><br/>“Pray tell, where?” he asked impatiently, walking in close to Vasiliy. He wasn't trying to impose on the young man, but to keep the words spoken as close to the two of them as possible. The officers that had so shortly ago crowded around him dispersed indignantly, grumbling under their breaths about how quickly they had been dismissed.<br/><br/>“In your office, President sir.” Vasiliy falsely reported. Gregoyovich was the President's Chief of Intelligence, at least in an unofficial capacity. Some said Belyakov had appointed the Czarist era army officer to keep an eye on the Congress' own spymaster. But there was an unspoken knowing – even to Vasiliy, the newest of aids – that there was something more dangerous going on.<br/><br/>“Of course...” Belyakov stuttered nervously, he turned on his heels and began walking down the marbled hall, “Tell, was there anything important he wished to discuss?” he asked, turning back. Gregoyovich's name had put the fear of God into the man's heart.<br/><br/>Vasiliy had to withhold his cards for now, but Belyakov's queen was easily becoming his pawn. He followed the president, “Only it was a matter of grave importance.” he said.<br/><br/>“Of course, of course.” Belyakov stammered. He began running. Vasiliy followed.<br/><br/>Either Belyakov did not care, or did not know Vasiliy was trailing after him. The two hastened through halls with high cathedral ceilings, and into galleries where the walls shone with fiery amber hues and brutal golds. The morning light weakly found its way through heavy tangerine-orange curtains, filling marbles halls with a rich warm glow. And though many of the lights flickered in the palatial splendor, there was a constant light from golden chandeliers and gilded niches of light.<br/><br/>Red carpet was like a road to where they needed to be. Quaint tea-tables, parked along the side of the hall, sat empty. They served less as functional pieces of furniture and more as artistic décor, with worn crimson velvet seats, and both gold and brass studded frames.<br/><br/>The hastened trip stopped at a set of heavy mahogany double doors. The deep earthly darkness of the doors contrasted so much with the gold and whites of the wall they almost glowed. Belyakov stopped, and adjusted the collar of his suit. If he had not known Vasiliy was with him, he found out when he turned. But the President did not seem angry. Instead, he gave him a knowing nod.<br/><br/>“I shan't be long, and then it will be the day as usual.” he told him, opening the door to the offices.<br/><br/>Vasiliy meant to follow, but with a thud, the doors closed in front of him. He stood with his hands held out, and the corner of his suit jacket tucked into the crack between the doors. He gave the president a second. Then he slowly put his hands on the handles and threw the lock. The coat, which had been jamming the mechanism, fell to his side, and he stepped into the private office. Belyakov stood in the middle of the room, stricken and confused by the absence of any mysterious cronies.<br/><br/>The door slammed shut behind Vasiliy, and the lock engaged. The noise clearly caught the Russian President's attention. His face dropped slack, and his mouth hung open as the blood rushed from his face. Gawping with the complexion of a ghost, he starred down the barrel of Vasiliy's handgun as it hung before his face.<br/><br/>“T-There was no one...” he stammered, choked with shock.<br/><br/>“Comrade President, get on the floor.” Vasiliy demanded.<br/><br/>“T-there was no one and you fooled me! Cyka blyatt!” he protested horrified, “Do you lack loyalty?” he decried.<br/><br/>“Comrade, president, just get on the floor and fold your hands behind your head.”<br/><br/>“Y-you...” Belyakov moaned, “I failed didn't I?”<br/><br/>“You will have failed if you don't get on the ground!” Vasiliy nearly shouted. His heart beat its head against his chest. It thrummed in his ears so loud he could barely hear the protesting and whimpering of the President, who had dropped to his knees. The firing of a hundred instincts told Vasiliy to do a hundred things at once. Kill the president now, check the room, hold his position.<br/><br/>Put the bag on his head.<br/><br/>Reaching into a coat pocket, Vasiliy pulled out a black bag. Folded, it would have looked like handkerchief for a dinner party. But as it masked the president's head, and as the ties were drawn tight around his fleshy neck, the hood it was became known.<br/><br/>So far, things were going too well. Grabbing the president by the shoulder, he pulled him to his feet and jammed the handgun into his sides. “You're going to follow my moves.” he whispered into his ears, “I do not mean to kill you, I have a use for you. But I may hurt you, I may hurt you a lot if I need to!” he promised, and his words hissed from his mouth like a snake as he watched the door, and pulled the incapacitated president across the room and into the bathroom.<br/><br/>“You don't know what you're doing.” the president pleaded as he was dragged, “You're going to ruin everything. You're going to ruin Russia! Our last chance for restoration, for salvation, for a true revolution.”<br/><br/>“Shut up.” Vasiliy hissed.<br/><br/>Outside, the tapping of passing feet echoed in through the door. Vasiliy froze. Belyakov seized the moment. “HELP! ASSASSIN!” he screamed.<br/><br/>The sound of footfalls stopped, Belyakov screamed more, fighting Vasiliy's grip. “HELP ME!” he roared. Panicked chattering and a worried ruckus trickled through the door. As Belyakov grunted and fought Vasiliy, the individuals outside grew louder. Someone began banging on the door and trying to throw open its locks. Vasiliy's hopes crashed at the sound, and he had to move fast. He had to move desperately.<br/><br/>Lifting the pistol from the president's side, he clubbed the man against the head. It knocked him cold. Vasiliy pulled the heavy set man further into the ivory and glossy bone-white bathroom. He hit the hidden button, and the sink slid away, revealing a dark, damp passage into the escape tunnel below.<br/><br/>Vasiliy wasn't about to give the President comfort as he pulled him down the steps. Concrete stairs nipped and bit at the man's fat ass and lumpy legs as they descended into the darkened, red-lit tunnels.<br/><br/>As alarms blared above, Vasiliy negotiated the president into the private escape car.<br/><br/>The muffled distant alarms and the frantic anxiety that crashed through his body blurred into a single nauseating symphony as he scrambled through the darkened cab for the train car's controls. In the dim red light, Vasiliy could hardly read anything, and a new demon of doubt reared its head over him in the darkness of the train car. He didn't know how to start this thing.<br/><br/>“Shit shit shit,” he panicked over the control modules. Darkened buttons and switches filled the metal panel, their purpose and meaning hidden from him in the clear shadows of the softly blinking and fading emergency lights. He could hear more energy from upstairs as the banging on the door became a heavy ramming.<br/><br/>He had to do something, so started to hit buttons. At first nothing happened but lights soon illuminated the car with their dull amber glow. And he could read and see. He had hit the electrical start, and the stagnant batteries of the car were groaning to life.<br/><br/>“Ignition, ignition!” Vasiliy shouted to himself. Belyakov groaned on the ground behind him. Time was running out for him and the last grains of sand were becoming countable in the hour glass.<br/><br/>Stabbing blindly, Vasiliy found it. An enormous hum filled the cathedral tube of the underground escape rail when the engines started. A cloud of acrid ozone spewed into the air from behind them, and Vasiliy hit the acceleration lever. The train car was lurching down the tracks.<br/><br/>With the slow rhythmic tapping of the wheels over the tracks, they thundered off into the darkness under the blare of frantic sirens. It was a full storm that he had to sail out of, and holding onto the dusty brass interior of the car, he rode it like a pirate villain.<br/><br/>-----------------------<br/><br/>Ullanhu was shook awake by the low, distant whine of sirens and alarms. Grumbling, he sat up in the driver's seat of Vasily's car. As the morning drew later, the interior had grown warmer, and he had woken several times from naps to lower the windows.<br/><br/>Outside his seat, Moscow had moved on around him as if he wasn't really there. But when he watched, he noticed that no one was using the metros. Maybe at times, small crowds of people would hang around the terminal, or in the shade of the egg-shell canopy. But these weary looking people did not seem to actually use the terminal. The idea that no one was putting the city's underground rail system to use was a surprise. But he supposed if they were going to use it for their plot, Vasiliy must have known these rails wouldn't be in use, for whatever the reason.<br/><br/>But now these sirens were a change, and obviously from the reactions of the people in the streets, it was not expected. Though clearly not in a panic, the civilians were startled, and they turned to the source of the alarms that were blaring across the city. Then, tearing through the streets, came the armored trucks and police cars.<br/><br/>Something sank in Ullanhu's heart as he looked on and saw the armed response to some great happening. And he knew that there shouldn't be anything else going on besides their presidential abduction. Someone had to of caught on to Vasiliy. A grave worrying came washing into his heart, and he slid forward, pulling the car seat into an upright position.<br/><br/>The panic and concern that was storming the city soon lapped at his toes. He put the keys in the car's ignition and fired up the engine. With a devilish roar, it spurned to life immediately and snarled idle while they keys were still between the Mongol's fingers. He had never noticed how rough and powerful this bulbous twisted model of a car was until his panicked hands grabbed hold of it's steering wheel.<br/><br/>His heavy gaze fixed itself on the bowels of the metro terminal. He was consumed by a trembling panic. Was he to break away now? Would that be abandoning his comrade? The thoughts, as racing as they were, became the anchor that strapped him to that spot, watching the grumbling shadow of the pie under that sheltering dome. It kept him there until Vasiliy pulled himself from those steps. There was a heavy-set, hooded Russian restrained in his arms. Vasiliy was shouting and waving a handgun in the air.<br/><br/>“Open the doors!”<br/><br/>Those words unglued him, and he lunged over the bench-seat and threw open the passenger door. It swung out on energetic springs. Vasiliy shoved the captured president inside and dived in after. By then, the civilians on the street had already seen what was happening, and they were making noise.<br/><br/>“What happened?” Ullanhu shouted in Russian as Vasiliy slammed the door shut.<br/><br/>“Unexpected guests. Gun it!” his partner responded in Russian. His voice rattled and his tongue jumped and jangled in his mouth like loose bolts. He was in no mind to try and flex his Chinese muscle.<br/><br/>With a gather crowd of spectators (and possible martyrs), Ullanhu wasn't willing to stay. With a heavy groan, the car's engine drank the gas Ullanhu poured for it when he slammed down the gas pedal. A volcanic scream erupted from under the hood as it thundered forward and shuddered over the meridian between parking and road. Screams from the crowd sounded. He burned through the thin circle. A dull thump suggested he had hit at least one bystander with the corner of the car, but he was too transfixed on the road ahead to worry about that now.<br/><br/>“North! North along the main road!” Vasiliy screamed as Ullanhu tore across the plaza. He pointed out across to a wide-set of lanes.<br/><br/>The adrenaline that coursed through Ullanhu's veins numbed him as he rocketed the car over the gutters, side-walks, and polite dividers that had once before created a sense of order. But it was an order widely defied by the Mongolian, and he drove with a central focus as he crashed through bushes and breezed past cars. A part of him felt left behind, and it chased after them, flailing its arms and screaming. Then, with a thunderous bump, they spun out onto the road. <br/><br/>(<a href=""https://youtu.be/64vDOJlDOWQ"" rel=""nofollow"">Action teim</a>)<br/><br/>The tires squealed with the horrendous note of slaughtered pigs. The car swung to the side, and the force pulled the agent sharply to the side and buried his shoulder into the ancient fat of the whimpering president.<br/><br/>“You're doing good!” Vasiliy shouted encouragingly. His Russian rose to a sharp croak against his lips as he turned in his seat to watch out the back window.<br/><br/>Down the narrow road, the lights of pursuing police cars flashed against the depressed wood paneling of low apartment buildings, and the sirens whisked through the bowing boughs of road-side trees.<br/><br/>Ullanhu looked up and saw them in the rear mirror. A feeling of dread laid itself down over him. Its weight felt so heavy that his foot slammed further into the floor, and the car engine gave such a roar that it sounded as if it were on the brink of exploding. He could imagine flames shooting out of the exhaust and from under the hood. They charged ahead, without fear of or respect for the doldrum traffic already occupying the narrow roads.<br/><br/>Racing over the road with the cry of sirens and lights in his eyes and ears, the world blurred to a constant goal. The desperation to evade pursuit became the only thing to him. It was pure blurring survival that became his person at that moment. It went with him as he sped over ridges, over railways, and into the medieval outer fringe of northern Moscow. The sounds of the sirens and the lights became so blurred that they were nothing, Vasiliy's voice was the only whispering truth.<br/><br/>“Turn right!” he ordered. He snapped the steering wheel to the side and, with a loud bang and a bump, it rocketed off the road, skating suddenly down a long gravel trail. Trees along the road-side hung their branches thick over the road. Through the tunnel of trees, light was filtered in broken shards. He bumped along. His jaw jittered.<br/><br/>“They dare not shoot us! We have president!” Vasiliy cackled at his side, he sounded ravenous and enraged with the hilarity of the moment. But, to Ullanhu, he was demented, and his voice rose and fell with the rhythm and rise of sirens.<br/><br/>“Break to the left, comrade! Hurry!” Vasiliy pleaded, “This beast can take it!”<br/><br/>Possessed by the Russian's command, Ullanhu did as he willed. He spun the steering wheel sharply to the side. The car broke into a sharp sliding drift as it struggled to find purchase in the loose sand and dirt of the road. Through the windshield, he watched the road turn to woods, and the intersection Vasiliy had intended them to take pass them by. Suddenly, they were facing back to Moscow, and toward the procession of police and armored cars that had followed them. Far above the dancing boughs of the forest branches, he saw the shine of a helicopter hovering overhead. He wondered if they had machine guns.<br/><br/>Vasiliy threw open the window, shouting orders to drive. The tires spun in the rocks, and they pounced forward as the Russian agent fired off a staccato barrage of gunfire from his handgun. The report was answered by a barrage of heavy fire that shattered the rear windows of the car, the shards of glass exploding behind them and the sheering screams of metal piercing even above the roar of the engine. As Ullanhu turned onto and sped through the intersection, the roar of sirens came back to the agent's reality as a rogue car struck the rear-bumper of their getaway vehicle.<br/><br/>Vasiliy loaded another magazine into his pistol, slamming it in with a sharp click. “We do good!” he laughed, continuing his barrage of rabid encouragement. The President whimpered, crying in shock and fear between them. Ullanhu looked to the side and saw him clutching the back of his lowered head as faint signs of blood trickled between his hands.<br/><br/>They again were racing down the narrow tracks of a forested road that ran true and straight, like an arrow, into the far distance. The engine roar mixed and danced with the gusts of wind that whipped through the inside via the gaping holes where the windows had been. Unseating himself and turning to face the rear, Vasiliy rose his handgun and fired shots down the road.<br/><br/>The pace of the fire was neither as erratic nor as fast as it had been before. The timely, slow shots rang above the engine with the force of a clanging bell as the mechanism rose and fell on each bullet casing, sending a new round down the road. With each freshly exhausted magazine, he reached for a new one and renewed the process, taking shots at the Russian pursuit when they came too close.<br/><br/>Between tense glances down the road and into the mirror, Ullanhu had little time to absorb where their enemies were coming from or how close they were. It must have come with the ring of the pistol, where metal twisted on metal. A whipping crashing, like a bursting mortar shell, happened behind them.<br/><br/>“We are hardly out of the woods yet!” Vasiliy cheered when their pursuers crashed together in a smoldering pile of metal. Ullanhu stole a look through the rear view and, horrified, beheld the monumental pile of debris behind them. As they sped away, rifle fire popped and clanged. None found a mark, and they sped out of range of the shooters.<br/><br/>Ullanhu's heart chased his breath through his chest, and his knuckles glowed bone-white against the black steering wheel. Glistening shards of glass lay haphazardly across the dashboard, blown back when someone opened fire on them. And by the tickle on his cheek, he was sure a bolt of upholstery and been torn loose and was brushing the side of his face.<br/><br/>But he was stunned and numbed. His hands rattled on the steering wheel. He could do nothing but look forward, crashing through the overgrown dirt road.<br/><br/>“We're going to breach the outer Moscow ring-road, be careful.” Vasiliy noted. This wasn't the end of the chase, only a reprieve. His Russian partner took the time to check his magazine.<br/><br/>“I have four bullet left.” he reported, “Let's not get in any more shootouts.”<br/><br/>“Ah-a-ah... o-o-ok.” stuttered Ullanhu. He wasn't in any position or ability to speak as they came up over a short hill.<br/><br/>Then suddenly they were airborne.<br/><br/>Alexander Belyakov screamed like a child, and Vasiliy roared in protest. They became weightless. Reaching for the steering wheel, the Russian borrowed control from across the lap of the president and yanked it to the side.<br/><br/>The dark hull of a armored car grew in the side windows with the long barrel of a machine gun pointed up at them. With a metal-rending crash, the wheels came down over the cab, and the still-spinning wheels gripped and screamed off the thick hull of the armored vehicle as it turned and regained pace. Ullanhu was thrown against the wheel, and Vasiliy had been slammed against the dash. His hands still gripping the wheel, he snapped it to the other side and the car. turned immediately away from an oncoming tank, and rammed across the meridian of the highway. They shot through the pastel wooden barricades that had been thrown up in a desperate attempt to contain the kidnappers.<br/><br/>Splinters of wood clouded the windshield as riot police dove to the side of the suicidal car. The Mongolian was in a lost daze when they crossed the highway and onto another forested service drive. By now, the engine was screaming in pain. Silver metallic smoke streamed from under the hood and bulbous vent.<br/><br/>Branches and bushes brushed and scratched against the side. With eyes covered in the blood trickling from his cut brow, Vasiliy blindly kept the car straight through blurred vision. Ullanhu himself felt blood trickling from his nose as he pushed himself off the wheel. He felt too numb to feel the pain, or the fear anymore. Everything felt as if it were a dream.<br/><br/>Drowsily he asked: “Vasiliy?”<br/><br/>“Da?”<br/><br/>“Why are we slowly driving off the road?”<br/><br/>The scratching and grinding of branches and overgrowth dragging against the doors became heavier, and the bumping over rough terrain became even more dramatic. From under the hood, the silver veil of smoke was growing hotter and heavier.<br/><br/>“We're going to go by foot I think.” Vasiliy said in Russian, “Get ready to jump.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu wasn't about to protest. The seat belt released from his chest and stomach with a sleepy click. Vasiliy grabbed the president by the shoulders as Ullanhu slowed the car to full stop.<br/><br/>“Do not turn it off, keep it running.” Vasiliy ordered, throwing open the doors.<br/><br/>He stepped out onto the wooded trail. Not too distant, the sounds of sirens and confused shouts echoed through the trees. Belyakov blubbered and murmured, childlike all the way, crying with every slight push against his shoulders. The man was clearly shaken, and it reduced his masculinity to a pile of smoldering ashes. Ullanhu would not be surprised if he had pissed himself as he limped out of the door.<br/><br/>Vasiliy threw the president to the ground as he began pulling gas canisters and an ammo box from the trunk.<br/><br/>“Take him and start making distance.” he grumbled. He looked nervously down the road as he began throwing the contents of the trunk through the broken windows.<br/><br/>Ullanhu hobbled over and dragged the president up off the mossy ground. Throwing an arm over his shoulders, he hurried off into the bush. He looked back behind him as the Russian slammed the trunk shut. There was a hand grenade in his hands. Turning and nodding to Ullanhu, he threw it into the window and raced away from the car.<br/><br/>Ullanhu's vision was filled with blinding fire as the car exploded into a ball of flame and twisted metal. Vasiliy dove at him, pulling him to the ground just before a spear of metal pierced the forested air. Smoldering ashes rose into the branches. A massive column of flame erupted from the busted and dented remnants of the imperial sports car, scorching and lapping against the foliage.<br/><br/>“And now we run.” said Vasiliy, pulling Ullanhu and the President up to their feet. </div>"
22211,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-12-06 06:13:00,Vilageidiotx,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Gondar, Ethiopia</span><br/><br/>Akanni sat with Ita Thabiti on the shaded terrace of their hotel, underneath a turbulent sky. The city had been inundated with a monsoon rain that morning. Rainwater still dripped from the thatched awning overhead, which had managed to keep the terrace mostly dry, though the balusters and everything near them were soaked. <br/><br/>The Hotel was built in the mixed style of the African Colonial period. European design presented itself in iron balusters and bright blue shudders, while the Arab and Indian influence came out in the boxy shape of the building, the rounded doors and windows, and the adobe walls. <br/><br/>Thabiti, a balding man with the face of a bird, was Princess Taytu's assistant, and with the Princess captive in Dar es Salaam, he had taken on her duties in government. Akanni did not know Thabiti very well, though he knew the rumors about him and Taytu, and he could not help but view the man through the lens of that gossip. But they did not talk about Taytu just then, or about her personal life. They talked about the death of the Walinzi director Amare Debir in Armenia.<br/><br/>""The Armenians are sending us a copy of their investigative work."" Thabiti said. He was an anxious man, Akanni could see that by the way he sat, and by the way he fidgeted with his wine glass when he wasn't speaking.<br/><br/>Akanni stared across the city, lost in his own thoughts. Gondar wasn't much compared to Addis Ababa, and though it had the modern amenities that Akanni expected in a city, he could see quite clearly where the edge of town blended into the rough Ethiopian highlands surrounding it on all sides. The city orbited a wooded patch near its center, where the grounds of the late-medieval Imperial Castle stood silent and unoccupied. The Castle, built in an Hispanic style, was a compact construction of grey-stone. It had suggestively phallic towers, and crenels that reminded Akanni of crocodile's teeth. The rest of the city was a colorful mixed-bag of simple African-style buildings made from cheap wood and recycled metal, ancient stone structures, and the sleeker, resort-like buildings such as the hotel. <br/><br/>""Do we know what this was yet, that killed Amare?"" Akanni finally spoke.<br/><br/>""I haven't heard a reason. We don't even know what his mission was, or if he had a mission at all. If the Walinzi know, they haven't told us.""<br/><br/>That was strange enough to give Akanni a slight chill. Amare wasn't some field agent, he was the Director of that entire region's Walinzi activity. Amare Debir had also been Ethiopia's Ambassador to Armenia for some time. How could a man like that disappear for no reason? ""I'd like to see a copy of their report when it gets sent. What can we possibly be losing agents to in Armenia anyway? Their war is already over.""<br/><br/>""Perhaps Spain has some interests in the area?"" Thabiti suggested.<br/><br/>Akanni said nothing, but the idea that Thabiti was so willing to jump to Spain as a culprit annoyed him. Sure, they were at war, but it seemed foolish to blame everything that ever happened to them on the Spanish. Doing so made the world feel right perhaps, and it justified a feeling that their enemy was the only thing they needed to worry about, but it made them more prone to being wrong, and being wrong was the worst thing. If they failed to catch the threat and opted to presume instead, then whatever had killed Amare could cause them more troubles later on.<br/><br/>""I doubt it. Could there be anything else?""<br/><br/>""We do not know. I will send you the reports when I get them, but I wanted to keep you updated even now. If it is big, it will be an important case going forward, and the Emperor's Government should be prepared.""<br/><br/>Akanni longed for the days when things happened that he could prepare for. Nowadays, everything they were faced with seemed much too large for them. ""You are a friend to the government. I know this. We will always look out for you.""<br/><br/>At that moment, it almost felt as if the conversation was done. But Thabiti did not look finished. He held himself like a man who had yet to start talking. His eyes were fixed; he was stirring a word with his lips. And then he spoke. <br/><br/>""There is another thing you might find interesting."" Thabiti said, and a nervous grin spread across his face. When Akanni agreed to have lunch with the Assistant Foreign Affairs Ad visor, he had done so with Agent Amare Debir in mind. He did not know what else Thabiti could possibly have to bring up aside from the typical small-talk. ""I was told to bring you this information when I checked in with the Walinzi about the Amare case."" Thabiti produced a colored photograph and slid it across the table to Akanni. When the Prime Minister saw what it was, his eyes went as wide as a bug's, and he felt rage broil in the lining of his stomach. <br/><br/>It was a photograph of James Lutalo, the leader of the Wakomunisti, standing in front of a settlement that he had apparently founded. Lutalo had snuck out of Gondar several weeks before, taking the melodramatic route through an irrigation canal in order to avoid questioning by the Walinzi, who were supposed to be keeping a watch on him. <br/><br/>""Look at these walls."" Akanni hissed, slamming the photo onto the table. The communist bastard had completely surrounded his settlement with red-painted metal walls, on which his followers had made childish two-dimensional portraits of Marx, Hou, and several other men that Akanni couldn't identify, but assumed to be important figures within the Communist movement. <br/><br/>""Where is this?""<br/><br/>""Just a mile away from Lake Victoria, somewhere near Masaka in Swahililand. He had his followers built it. They call it 'Revolution-Town'. It is supposed to be an autonomous commune. He wants it to be the capital of his communist vision in Africa.""<br/><br/>""Revolution-Town? In English?""<br/><br/>Thabiti nodded. ""For the international attention, I guess. He likes attention.""<br/><br/>Akanni had a more reasons to dislike Lutalo than he had reasons to pretend to like him. The Wakomunisti leader was a rabble rouser who's letters to China had threatened to destabilize their vital alliance. He had spent his Senate career egging on all and any dissenting opinions, allying himself with Fitawrari Iregi, and pulling ridiculous stunts like wearing an armored leather brigandine in public most of the time, or singing The Internationale while the Senate was in session. This move was just as bad. In leaving Gondar and creating his own commune, he opened the door for the further splintering of the African Empire.<br/><br/>Thabiti produced another photo. It showed a grey-haired Lutalo, in his signature brigandine, wrestling young men in the heart of his new Communist compound. For Akanni, it felt like the entire nation was being mocked by the Wakomunisti.<br/><br/>""I want to shut him down."" Akanni whined. <br/><br/>""What would that look like? The Chinese wouldn't like it if we went hunting for communists.""<br/><br/>""Could we ask them to do it? Or maybe explain the situation.""<br/><br/>Thabiti shook his head. ""No.""<br/><br/>""I know."" Akanni waved his hand as if he were shooing the idea away. ""I know, they won't go hunting for communists either. I am being foolish.""<br/><br/>""Is Lutalo a problem, really? His 'Revolution-Town' might help us, even if it is just a place to dump people fleeing from the war.""<br/><br/>Akanni was incredulous. ""He's making the Emperor's government look weak. When the war ends, do you see him abandoning his project? He is doing what the Rouge General did in Katanga. He is trying to make a new country within our borders. That is insurrection. We cannot abide by it!""<br/><br/>""At least it is not an armed insurrection. Lutalo is doing whatever he really is doing peacefully."" <br/><br/>""Do you not know who James Lutalo is? Even if he is not shooting at us, I can promise you that he is collecting arms, and that is an easy thing to do in our country.""<br/><br/>""That is true."" Thabiti conceded. He looked at his watched and, without looking up, he sprung out of his chair as if his watch had just told him where to find one million in Spanish Pesetas. ""I have to get back to work. Our lobbyists in America have been keeping us busy.""<br/><br/>""God will see it done."" Akanni encouraged. And then, once Thabiti slid away from the table, the Prime Minister was alone. <br/><br/>He had finished his wine, but a half-eaten bowl of fit-fit - shredded injera fried in butter and spices - was going cold on the table, sitting like a gravestone dedicated to the Prime Minister's nerve-wracked appetite. He had accepted to go to lunch with Thabiti because he needed to eat, and because so much of his job came down to cultivating political relationships. But the De-Facto Foreign Minister had only given him more to worry about.<br/><br/>He stood up and went to pay for his food, passing by only a few other diners eating their meals on a terrace that felt eerily abandoned. The war meant higher prices. The war also meant people were preparing for lean times. He settled his account and went down into the streets.<br/><br/>Gondar, so far north of the action, had yet to completely put on the appearance of war, but like the cold wind before a rain storm, the first signs of the coming conflict were starting to appear. Flags were ever-present. Young people could often be seen growing their hair out, or carrying rifles on their backs at all times. Bomb shelters were being constructed near government buildings, and gas-masks were being bought up by a population of people who had never heard of such a thing until only a few weeks earlier. The fear of bombing loomed over the Ethiopian consciousness here. If the Spanish were to launch bombing raids, Gondar would be a target, and the people here knew that. Worse then bombing was the dread that, like Seattle in America, Gondar would be wiped out by the terrifying weaponized gas that the Europeans now had in their arsenal. Akanni had been given a rubber suit to protect him in case of a gas bombing, but hadn't yet got into the habit of wearing it, and he was rarely in reach of it's protection. It was hot and uncomfortable; the wet-season humidity made it even worse. Besides that, it caused his clothes to clump awkwardly in places, and that made the rubber-suit difficult to grow used to. He had gotten used to cultivating a certain look - his hair trimmed like a French topiary, and his clothing consisting of tailor made shirts and pants under luxuriously decorated open-front kaftan robes. It was a vanity he allowed himself to pursue as a supplement to his power. To hold his office correctly, he had to be able to <span class=""bb-i"">feel</span> like his office.<br/><br/>Gas was not on his mind anyway. His concern was holding the country together while Hassan and the military handled the war, and that meant Lutalo was a meaningful complication. As he walked down the road, passing the ancient Imperial castle, he entertained a thought about what Yaqob would have done in his position. Yaqob would have went after Lutalo's legitimacy as a communist. That wouldn't have been very difficult; Lutalo was an adventurer, not a philosopher, and he could not defend himself against the scrutiny of a Yaqob-styled scholarly critique. But that was not Akanni's style. Akanni wanted to close Lutalo away from the process of government, to prune him like the dead branch of a tree, so that he was left in the dark to wither and disappear. He didn't want to see Lutalo in jail. He wanted to see him destitute and abandoned. <br/><br/>Despite the war, people still came from the surrounding countryside to participate in the market. Here, wiry men crouched near carts filled with bundles of drying khat. Others sold food of all kinds; bananas, gourds, dates, tomatoes, lettuce, chickpeas, pomegranates, and many other kinds that Akanni did not take specific notice to today. His favorite was the spices, which filled burlap sacks placed on the ground. The wet tarps that had covered them during the rainfall were crumpled and tossed aside, allowing the sacks of beautiful, earth-toned spices to breath in the open air. The smell was rich; like the blend of a dozen suppers with his grandma in the countryside, synthesized into the concentrated smell of her favorite spices. It mixed with the wafting scent of injera frying in the local shops. It smelled like the best memories of home. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Akanni returned home - or at least to the home-in-exile that he had made in an apartment near the center of town. He came home to a smell he had smelled in the market - frying injera - and he suddenly felt bad that he was not hungry.<br/><br/>""I have returned."" he called out. His boots tapped loud against the creaking wooden floor, and he sat down on a loose-cushioned chair before pulling them off of his feet. <br/><br/>Akanni's wife, Werkenesh, came out to greet him. She was in her thirties, with common height and weight, but a bony thin-featured face and a somewhat toothy smile. She wore a wrap around her wiry hair, and a white dress with gilded borders. There was something simple about the way she carried herself - a common girl from an important family in the capital, who had married Akanni looking for something resembling stability in the unstable African Empire. Akanni, having been caught up in the violent eddies of Imperial politics, had wanted the same thing. This wasn't to say either them were remotely stupid, but rather that both of them had desperately wanted something that seemed traditional. So for them, that was each other. <br/><br/>""You have brought mud into the house."" Werkenesh pointed. ""Why would you want to do that?""<br/><br/>""I didn't want to bring it. It just followed me."" Akanni smiled. His wife accepted that answer. She had never been so worried about the mud. Both of them knew that something like mud in the house bothered Akanni much more than it bothered her.<br/><br/>He kissed her on the cheek, and tasted the teff flour against her flesh. Akanni went to his office with Werkenesh following him.<br/><br/>Akanni's office was a desk and a chair near the window of a small room in their apartment. He had a detailed political map of Africa on one wall, and a traditional painting of vividly colored, cartoon-like musicians playing their instruments against a plain leather background on the other. His book shelf was loaded with books, and he had several filing cabinets stocked full of paperwork. <br/><br/>""Was the meeting with Ita fruitful?"" his wife asked.<br/><br/>""I discovered where James Lutalo went."" Akanni replied, sitting down. ""He's building a commune in Swahililand.""<br/><br/>""Like the Rouge General? What is he thinking that he would see that lasting long?""<br/><br/>""Exactly. He is a target to everyone. That is what he wants, but he is still a headache to me.""<br/><br/>""People like him are headaches to everyone. He gets in everyone's business and puts thoughts in people's heads. Are you worried?""<br/><br/>""About Lutalo? I have to be some. But..."" Akanni rubbed his eyes. ""Well, I do have bigger problems. He is just another problem, and I do not need more.""<br/><br/>""You know the Chinese."" Werkenesh said. She rested her hip on the arm of his chair and leaned over him. ""Would they intervene? Would they want to make Lutalo into something like an African Hou?""<br/><br/>Akanni snorted. ""They would be in for a surprise if they did. Lutalo wouldn't have the ability to sit down like an adult and handle a position like 'Chairman of Africa'. He would be about the world, starting fires so that he has something to do. Hou knows this I think. But... the Chinese are difficult to understand in things like these. On paper, they would have to support Lutalo, but in the real world, they are not so stupid as to do this.""<br/><br/>Werkenesh nodded slowly. ""You know these people. I have faith in what you say about them. I am making dinner, are you going to be hungry?""<br/><br/>""I will be later."" Akanni smiled. He watched his wife slip out of the room, and when she was gone, he felt all of the pressure of his office come to rest on his shoulders.<br/><br/>The worst thing was that he had nothing much to do but wait. As Prime Minister, his job had been to manage the Senate, but the legislature in Gondar was an embarrassing rump body that struggled to meet at all. This war had exposed cracks in Yaqob's constitutional government, and Akanni was trying to patch those cracks with correspondence. He sent messages to the Emperor, and to individual members of the legislature, in an attempt to organize something resembling a working body. <br/><br/>And so he worked into the night. He read reports from the entrenched army at Dire Dawa, and dozens of begging requests from all of the administrative districts across the Empire. He read about how the son of an exiled Ras was gathering together his own militia band near Lalibela, and his personal request for tanks and cannons to help his glorified shifta band take the fight to the Spanish. He realized that his people saw the war as an reason to scramble for money, and not a reason to give. But where to get money? That was Akanni's problem. Aid was trickling in from all over the world, and flooding in from China. But that was not enough. He could not raise taxes, for doing so would cause more Lutalo's to see this war as an opportunity for their independence. But what else could he do? Sell the few meager government properties? The grain stores? The absentee offices in the legislature? These were all awful ideas. <br/><br/>In his frustration, he drafted a bill that he hoped to give to any willing senator so that it could be forced through the rump-legislature he was sitting on now. It was a desperate attempt to bring back the fleeing legislators, including that bastard Lutalo. The way it worked was simple; the government would begin to charge absent legislators for all of the time that they stayed away. </div>"

Stewardesses in tight polyester dresses walked down the aisles of the airplane with trays loaded down with food and drinks. Their color scheme was navy blue on the left side and burnt orange on the right with a bright white line serving as a divide between the two colors. The pilot announced that they were making their final approach into Sun City and flashed the fasten seatbelt sign. Nate buckled up and finished off his drink. He opened up the manila file folder on his lap and looked down at the official Federal Crime Bureau seal stamped across the front of the document. This was his third time reading it since boarding the flight in Chicago.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Internally circulated FCB intelligence report. Marked: ""Classified Confidential 2-A: Restricted Agent Access""/""Pertinent Facts &amp; Observations on Major Sun City Hotel-Casino Ownerships &amp; Related Topics."" Note: Officially logged at FCB Central Arizona Office, 1/8/80.<br/><br/>The major Sun City hotel-casinos are situated in two locales: The downtown (Anderson Street/""Twilight Ridge"") area and ""The Strip"" (Sun City Boulevard, the city's main north-south artery). The downtown establishments are older, less gaudy &amp; cater to local residents &amp; less affluent tourists who come to gamble, enjoy low-quality entertainment &amp; engage the services of prostitutes. Junket groups (Elks, Kiwanis, Rotary, Shriners, etc.) are frequent downtown hotel-casino visitors. The downtown establishments are largely owned by ""Pioneer"" groups (e.g., native Arizonans &amp; general non-organized crime groups). The dispute between the Mafia and Pioneer factions came to a head in a brief conflict in the early 1960's (See FCB File #210189701233 for further details) but the conflict was settled after some minor bloodshed from both sides and peace has reigned in the city for nearly twenty years. Some of the Pioneer owners have been forced to sell small (5%-8%) interests to organized-crime groups and local politicians in exchange for continued ""Preferential Treatment"" (on-site ""protection,"" a ""service"" to ensure the absence of labor trouble &amp; untoward on-site incidents). Organized-crime associates frequently serve as casino ""Pit Bosses"" &amp; thus act as enforcers and on-site informants for their organized-crime patrons.<br/><br/>The downtown area is jurisdictionally covered by the Sun County Sheriff's Department (SCSD). The Sun City Police Department (SCPD) was absorbed by the SCSD in 1968 in order for a more streamlined police service. FCB considers the agency widely influenced and corrupted by factions of organized crime. This corruption is of the type most identified with ""Company Towns"" (e.g., casino revenue forms the financial base of Sun City and Western Arizona and thus influences the political base and law-enforcement policy). Numerous officers benefit from organized-crime bestowed ""Gratuities"" (free hotel stays, free casino gambling chips, the services of prostitutes, ""police discounts"" at various businesses owned by organized-crime associates) and outright bribery. The Sheriff's Dept enforces organized-crime policies with the implicit consent of the Sun County political hierarchy and by extension the consent of the Arizona State Legislature. (Negroes are strongly discouraged from entering certain ""Strip"" hotel-casinos and on-site casino personnel are allowed to see to their expulsion. Crimes against organized-crime-connected casino employees are frequently avenged by SCSD officers, acting on orders from the Casino Operators Board, an organized-crime front group. Sheriff's deputies are often used to track down casino card cheats, ""discourage"" them &amp; run them out of town.)<br/><br/>The best-known hotel-casinos are situated on the ""Strip."" Many of them have been infiltrated by organized crime, with percentage ""Points"" divvied up among the overlords of organized-crime cartels. (The Chicago Crime Cartel controls the Desert Rose Hotel-Casino and boss Robert Colosimo aka ""Bobby C."" has a 15-20% personal interest. Chicago mobster Benjamin ""Benny"" D'Amico (the Chicago Cartel's Sun City overseer) has a 3% interest and Chicago Mob enforcer Jonathan Leggario aka ""Johnny Legs"" has a 1% interest.) <br/><br/>Smaller percentage points are traded between organized crime factions as part of an ongoing effort to ensure that all factions have a stake in the expanding Sun City casino economy. The profit base is thus shared &amp; faction-to-faction rivalry is averted. Thus, organized crime presents a unified face in Sun City. The man responsible for developing &amp; maintaining this policy is Franco ""Frenchie"" Gallo (b. 1923), former Montreal mobster, <span class=""bb-i"">caporegime</span> in the Fortunato Crime family, and Sun City's all around crime boss. Gallo owns points in the Lucky Gent Hotel Casino, which he operates, and is rumored to have points in several others. Gallo is known as ""Mr. Sun City,"" because of his numerous philanthropic endeavors and his convincing non-gangster image. Gallo founded the Casino Operators Board, dictates their enforcement policies and is largely responsible for the ""Clean Town"" policy that organized crime factions believe will help promote tourism and increase hotel-casino revenue. This policy is informally enforced &amp; has the implicit approval of the Sun City political machine and SCSD. One goal is to enforce ad hoc segregation in the ""Strip"" hotel-casinos (admit Negro celebrities or perceived ""High Class"" Negroes &amp; refuse admittance to all others) and to isolate Negro housing in the slum area of North Sun City. (Restrictive real-estate covenants are widely observed by Arizona-based realtors.) <br/><br/>A key policy dictate is the ""No Narcotics"" rule. This rule applies specifically to heroin and marijuana and cocaine to a lesser extent. The selling of heroin is forbidden and is punishable by death. The rule is enforced to limit the number of narcotics addicts, specifically those who might support their addiction by means of robbery, burglary, fraud, or other criminal activities that would sully the reputation of Sun City and thus discourage tourism. Numerous heroin pushers have been the victims of unsolved homicides and numerous others have disappeared and are presumed to have been killed per the aforementioned policy (see Addendum File #B-3 for partial list). <br/><br/>The last homicide occurred on 12/22/79 and there appears to be no heroin traffic in Sun City as of this date. It is fair to conclude that the aforementioned deaths have served as a deterrent. Gallo is a close associate of International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) President Mitchell Riddle (b. 1929) and is rumored to have secured large loans from the Teamsters' Central States Pension Fund that have covered the cost of hotel-casino building and improvements. The fund (estimated assets 2 billion dollars) gets its money from the dues and pension payments made by IBT locals in thirteen Midwestern states. It serves as a watering hole that organized crime factions borrow from routinely. Dubious organized-crime-connected businessmen also borrow from the fund at high interest rates that often result in the forfeiture of their businesses. It is rumored that a second set of Pension Fund financial books exists (one that is hidden from government subpoena &amp; thus official audit). These books allegedly list a more accurate accounting of Pension Fund assets &amp; detail the illegal &amp; quasi-legal loans &amp; repayment schedules.<br/><br/>Many of the ""Strip"" hotel-casinos routinely hide a large portion of their assets. These reported accountings are generally considered to be only 70-80% accurate. (It is very difficult to detect sustained underestimation of taxable income in large cash base businesses.) Underestimated table profits are estimated to amount to untaxed revenue of over $150,000,000 per year ('79 fiscal estimate). This practice is called ""skim.""<br/><br/>Cash receipts are taken directly from casino counting rooms and dispersed to couriers who messenger the money to pre-arranged spots. Large-denomination bills are substituted for slot-machine coins &amp; daily accountings are fraudulently tallied inside the counting rooms proper. Casino ""skim"" is virtually impossible to detect. Most hotel-casino employees subsist on low wages and untaxed cash gratuities and would never report irregularities. This endemic corruption extends to the labor unions who supply the major hotel-casinos with workers.<br/><br/>The Dealers and Croupiers Local #117 is a Chicago Crime Cartel front. Its members are paid a low hourly wage and are given play chips and (presumably stolen) merchandise as bonuses. All chapters of this union are rigidly segregated. The Lounge Entertainers Local #41 is a Detroit Crime Cartel front. Its members are well paid, but pay weekly kickbacks to crew stewards. This union is nominally integrated. Negro lounge entertainers are ""discouraged"" from patronizing the hotel-casinos they work in &amp; from fraternizing with white patrons. The four building and building-supply locals who service the ""Strip"" hotels are Kansas City Crime Cartel fronts &amp; work exclusively with organized-crime-connected contracting firms. The all-female Chambermaids Local #16 is a Los Angeles Crime Cartel front. Many of its members have been suborned into prostitution. The work crews for the above-mentioned locals are run by organized crime associates who report to the Casino Operators Board. The Kitchen Workers Union (Sun City-based only. There are no other chapters) is not organized-crime-connected &amp; is allowed to operate as a favor to the Sun City ""Pioneer"" contingent and the largely non-ethnic political machine. The union is run by Thomas ""Red"" Mulligan (b. 1925), a conservative real-estate investor and chairman of the Arizona Gaming Commission. Mulligan is the covert owner of a bottom-rung casino, the ""Pot o' Gold."" The crew chiefs for the union are all white men and the workers (mostly illegal Mexican aliens) are paid substandard wages and are given bonuses of dented cans of food and play chips for the Pot o' Gold. The workers live in slum hotels in a Mexican enclave on the West-North Sun City border. (Note: Mulligan and frequent business partner Senator Roderick ""Rod"" Marston are rumored to have hidden points in over seven Pioneer casinos and two dozen liquor store/slot machine arcades around the state. If true, these ownerships would constitute infractions of the Arizona Gaming Commission charter.)<br/><br/>The Arizona Gaming Commission oversees and regulates the granting of casino licenses and the hiring of casino personnel. The Commission and its subcommittees, the Arizona Gaming Control Board and the Sun County Liquor &amp; Control Board, are the most powerful political force in the state. The same five men (Appointed ""civilian"" members named by the state legislature) serve on all three boards. Thus, the power to approve liquor and casino license applicants for the entire state rests solely in Sun City. Mulligan's connections aside, none of the five board members are overtly organized-crime-connected and it is difficult to assess the level of collusion the boards engage in. There are no dossiers available on members of the above organizations. The SCSD Intelligence Unit keeps detailed files on the Gaming Control and Liquor Board men, but has consistently refused to grant the FCB &amp; U.S. Attorney's Office access to them. (As previously stated, the Sheriff's Dept. is strongly organized-crime-influenced.) The SCSD Intelligence Unit operates city &amp; countywide and is the sole such unit in Arizona. It is a 3-man operation. The commanding officer is Captain Byron A. Randall (the adjutant of the SCSD Detective Bureau &amp; strongly connected to the Casino Operators Board) and his only assigned officers are Sergeant Bartholomew ""Bart"" Marston (Sgt. Marston is the son of the aforementioned Senator Marston) and Deputy Charles ""Chuck"" Waters. Waters is arguably one of the most intimidating men in Sun County. The work of the Intelligence Unit is secretive and speculation abounds on if they are as corrupted as the rest of the Sheriff's Dept.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Nate closed the folder and pushed his glasses up onto his forehead. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed. It was a lot of information to take in. The long and short of it was that Sun City, and Arizona by extension, was without a doubt the most corrupt place in the country. Even more so than Chicago or even Washington. Everything in Sun City was for sale, except narcotics apparently. Drugs were off the table, but people were very much still for sale. <br/><br/>One of the stewardesses leaned in close and slipped a piece of paper to a man sitting two rows ahead of Nate. She winked and walked off, sashaying her hips as she went. The man pocketed the slip into his jacket. Nate had to suppress a laugh. The guy would be in for a rude awakening once he got on the ground and the flirty stewardess would name her price. Of the four women serving as flight attendants, Nate saw three of them flirting and slipping notes to five of the men in first class. The men they targeted all had the same traveling scumbag businessmen look. Even sitting in first class Nate didn't give off that vibe. His cheap suit and hangdog demeanor made it clear that he was flying first class on someone else's dime. That someone was Director Ford. FCB headquarters in Washington bought the ticket under the name Nathan Jameson, the same name his hotel reservation was in. Officially he was on paid vacation from the FCB Chicago office. <br/><br/>The terminal of the Wasserman Airport played up the casino aesthetic. Flashing neon lights were wrapped around the boards announcing arrivals and departures. Slot machines flanked both sides of the corridors and were shoved into every nook and cranny. Nate walked through the terminal with his suitcase in one hand, the briefcase containing his work in the other. He paused at a slot machine and set his bags down. Twenty-five years ago he'd visited Hot Springs, Arkansas honeymooning with his now ex-wife Edith. Back then Hot Springs was the gaming hub of the Southeast. Nate tried to go to one of the little backroom poker rooms that the city was filled with but Edith wouldn't let him. She didn't approve of gambling, she said. He fished out a quarter and fed it into the slot machine. The number spun after he slammed the lever down. The first stopped on a bright green 7, the second on a bright yellow lemon, the third on a blood red cherry. No winner and no payout. <br/><br/>Nate's glasses fogged up the second he stepped out of the air-conditioned terminal. He stopped in his tracks and let the condensation pass. The heat was oppressive. It topped out at 98 degrees easily and he was still dressed in a thicker suit made for the Chicago climate. Nate felt sweat already beading on his forehead and neck by the time he got a cab.<br/><br/>His cab driver as certifiably insane. He was a Chinese man that jabbered in some weird mix of Mandarin and English that had a thick accent to it. Nate only caught every third word. He caught snippets like ""cocksucker"" and ""pigs"" and ""Norman"" and ""Cocksucker Norman"" and ""Pigfucker President."" The driver hauled ass down the boulevard towards town, oblivious to traffic signs and other drivers. Two big ass pictures were taped to the dashboard: A miniature version of the world famous poster of Hou Sai Tang was one, a portrait of Eric Fernandez was the other.  <br/><br/>Nate tuned out the driver's ranting as they cruised through the Strip. It was early afternoon but the people were out in droves on the street, heading to and from the huge casinos that loomed over the streets. The Lucky Gent had their billboard displaying an advertisement for the next Jackie Bradley fight while a large billboard in front of the Desert Rose Casino announced ""Boppin' Barry Chambers Preforms Nightly!"" just underneath it in smaller print read ""King of the Insult Shecky Lemon."" Seeing the name Barry Chambers brought Nate back to his late teens. He and Edith parked on a hill overlooking Iowa, necking while Boppin' Barry crooned ""Harbor Lights."" The memory brought a soft smile on to his lips. <br/><br/>The loud roar of an engine snapped him out of his memory. A pack of six motorcycles roared down the Strip and blew past the cab. The driver cursed in his mixed tongue and flipped the bikers off as they sped wherever they were going. Nate saw the six men were wearing cut off leather jackets with a motorcycle-riding warrior on the back.<br/><br/>""Fucking bikers,"" the driver rolled down the window and spat at them even though they were long gone. ""White trash piece of shit!""<br/><br/>Another five minutes and Nate was at his destination and paying the driver, who roared off at breakneck speed to find his next fare. The entire Pot O' Gold Casino was done up in a cheesy Leprechaun, luck of the Irish motif. Lots of green and gold and shamrocks with a staff dressed up in green suits and green hats that had four leaf clovers in them. He checked in at the front desk with his alias and got a hotel key. His third floor room was what you expected of the place. Green curtains reeked of cigarette smoke and his emerald bedspread was severely faded due to repeat bleachings. Nate made a mental note not to sleep under the covers. <br/><br/>He laid his bags on the bed and took his jacket off, undoing his tie and wiping the sweat from his face. His room had a clear view of the Pot O' Gold's pool. Women in bikinis sunned themselves and walked around the water. Nate ignored the action poolside and instead focused on a row of six ranch bungalows two hundred yards away from the pool. The small bungalows were pricey and for long-term guests at the Pot O' Gold. Bungalow 4 was the one that drew Nate's gaze. His assignment from Ford concerned the bungalow and the equipment inside his briefcase. <br/><br/>Somehow, he had to break into that small bungalow and wire every inch of it up for surveillance. The bungalow's sole occupant was one Ms. Arleen Rhodes, a twenty-five-year-old redhead from Homa, Louisiana. She had no Arizona or Louisiana rap sheet, but the LA County Sheriff's Vice Unit had a blue sheet on her a mile long. The blue sheet was part of his briefing back in Chicago. Five years of Arleen's hooking on the streets of LA were documented through routine hooker sweeps and undercover pops. Her last arrest in LA was five years earlier. Nothing on her since. The bungalow meant a higher class of clientele. It also made Nate wonder why the FCB wanted it wired. Regardless, it sure as hell beat wiretapping Commies. <br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Los Angeles</span><br/><br/>""From Hollywood, it's The Jack Welsh Show!""<br/><br/>The band kicked up the show's theme song as the opening credits played. A montage of clips showed the highlights of Jack Welsh's fifteen years as the king of talk shows. Included in the montage was the incident with the baboon, the time the little kid karate chopped Jack in the balls, and Jack's interview with President Fernandez. <br/><br/>""Tonight's guest: King of the Insult Shecky Lemon and Mr. Cool Boppin' Barry Chambers! Ladies and gentlemen, your host... Jack Welsh!""<br/><br/>The golden curtain opened up and Jack Welsh walked out to a standing ovation from the crowd. Barry Chambers watched it all on a television in the show's green room. To his immediate left, Shecky Lemon snorted lines of cocaine off the green room's coffee table. <br/><br/>""Thank you,"" Welsh said as the applause died off. ""And I have to say, that applause is undeserved because you have clearly not heard my monologue.""<br/><br/>The band's drummer fired off a rimshot as the crowd laughed. Shecky came up for air and rubbed his nose, looking at Barry. <br/><br/>""Want some of this, Barry? It's good shit.""<br/><br/>""I stopped with the coke ten years ago.""<br/><br/>""Jesus, you don't do drugs, you don't smoke or drink. The fuck do you do?""<br/><br/>""Women,"" Barry said, turning back to the television. ""They're my one vice.""<br/><br/>Welsh went through his monologue. It was a lot of tepid jokes about the weather and current events. Jack's jokes were always shitty, bombing was part of his shtick. A particularly bad joke got little applause, prompting Jack to pull at his necktie and feign discomfort. Nobody could bomb like Jack. Jack kept going with his monologue while Shecky's coke high started coming on. He sprung up from the green room couch and started pacing around.<br/><br/>Shecky was only about ten years younger than Barry, but he was still new to this level of show business. Shecky had only made it big five years ago while Barry had been a star ever since he was twenty years old. It was still all shiny and new to Shecky, the coke and the girls and the mob guys who liked to pal around with the entertainers. It would lose its luster in a few years and Shecky would probably end up in rehab or hitting rock bottom in some skid row flophouse. But for now he was living it up.<br/><br/>""There they are!""<br/><br/>Barry cursed inside his head as the fat man waddled through the door. Phil ""Fat Phil"" Patriarca oozed sleaze from every sweaty pore. The fucker always showed up every time Barry came to LA, always pestering Barry about some scheme or another. He was a made guy, a shylock and bookie for Carmine Valestra. He glommed on to the celebrities like all the mid-level mob boys did. They thought having guys like Barry and Shecky partying with them made them somebody. <br/><br/>""Jesus, you've gotten fatter,"" Shecky quipped as he shook Phil's pudgy hand. ""I didn't think that was possible.""<br/><br/>Phil laughed. Shecky was the one guy on the face of the earth that could get away with insulting the Boys to their faces. Despite the nickname, Patriarca was sensitive about his weight. Some pawnshop owner once called Phil a fat fuck to his face. The man disappeared for two weeks until they started to find him, piece by piece, in storm drains around Los Angeles.<br/><br/>""Why you always gotta bust my balls, Shecky?""<br/><br/>""I don't bust your balls, Phil. To bust your balls, I'd have to find the tiny fucking things first!""<br/><br/>Phil roared and slapped Shecky's back. Barry glanced back to the TV. Jack was in the middle of some sketch where he was talking to a man in a bear suit while holding a pot of honey.<br/><br/>""I'm glad I got you both here,"" Phil said. ""I got something I want to run by you.""<br/><br/>""Come on, Phil,"" said Barry. ""We're just here to promote the show in Sun City, that's all. I don't want to get mixed up in anything.""<br/><br/>""Let's hear him out,"" Shecky said quickly. His eyeballs were pinned and he was in the middle of a coke high. Phil could propose Shecky overthrowing the King of England and he'd go along with it.<br/><br/>Barry sighed and shrugged, motioning for Phil to take a seat. The leather chair creaked and groaned as Phil sat down in it. A PA popped his head into the green room and told Shecky he had five minutes before he was due on stage. <br/><br/>""I'll make it quick,"" said Phil. ""I got approval from Carmine to set up a gambling tour that goes through California and into Arizona. A group of about thirty to eighty guys, like some union local or some shit, sign up together for the tour and pay for travelling expenses up front. We start here in LA and head to the racetrack in Ventura for a day, then to that fucking Indian casino out near the Arizona border for day, then we hit Sun City and go through all the big casinos over the course of two days. It'd be a four-day tour designed to rob these fucking guys of whatever cash they got left over after paying for the trip. Any of them run low, then I'm there waiting to front them the money at my usual interest rates. I worked out deals with the Boys and the Indians who run that casino in Blythe and they all get a cut.""<br/><br/>""Where do we come in?"" Barry asked.<br/><br/>""I want you two part of the tour. Shecky keeps 'em laughing and Barry keeps 'em boppin' with the sounds of their youth. That keeps 'em happy and they love it so much they don't fucking care about losing their life savings. You each get ten percent.""<br/><br/>""I like it,"" Shecky said. ""If Phil cares about money as much as he cares about food, we'll be fucking millionaires off the percent. Excuse me, gentlemen...""<br/><br/>Phil roared while the PA came back in and collected Shecky. <br/><br/>""We'll discuss it more after the show,"" Phil said, wiping tears from his eyes. ""I got Shecky interested, Barry. What do you say?""<br/><br/>Barry leaned back on the couch and looked at the television. Shecky came onto the stage like a fucking hurricane. He was doing some bit with Jack, holding his necktie in his hands and playfully slapping his face. The hicks in the seats ate it up. They were going wild as Shecky started pointing out people in the crowd to insult. <br/><br/>""We got the gig at the Desert Rose,"" Barry said with a shrug. ""That's seven shows a week, Phil. We won't have time for any tours, much less a four day one.""<br/><br/>""I talked to Benny and he's agreed to let you out of your gig at the Rose if you sign on to this thing. He says this is more of a money maker than what you're doing now.""<br/><br/>Barry felt anger rising inside of him. The Desert Rose, his comeback, was a goddamn flop and now he was being asked, told more like it, to escort a bunch of KofC members and Shiners and Teamsters around the country and butter them up while they lost everything to the mob.<br/><br/>""This is beneath me,"" said Barry. ""I can still pack 'em in, Phil. I don't want to go on some fucking pissant tour playing to nickel and dimers.""<br/><br/>""Beneath you?"" Phil asked, color coming into his face. ""Let me tell you what's not beneath you, you jewboy fuck. It's not beneath you to help out people who have looked out for you your entire fucking life. It's not beneath you to bite the fucking hand that feeds you. Didn't Frenchie get you out of fucking New York all those years ago and send you out here to become a star?""<br/><br/>""And I've paid him back for that many times over,"" Barry spat. ""And the jewboy crack sure as fuck isn't bringing me around to your side.""<br/><br/>Barry glanced at the TV. Shecky was in the middle of the audience, berating some sap for his ugly bowl haircut. From there, he moved on to a fat man and got a solid minute out of making fun of him and his skinny wife. ""I'm sorry,"" he told the wife. ""I'm sure when he rolls off of you, you need to get pumped back up."" The crowd went wild. The camera cut to Jack, sitting at his desk with his feet up and laughing along with the crowd.<br/><br/>""I'll do it for twenty percent,"" said Barry. ""Shecky stays at ten, but I get twenty. That's my price for working with anti-Semites.""<br/><br/>""You goddamn jew bastard."" Phil tried to get up, but he was wedged into the chair so tightly it was hard for him to pull himself up. Barry resisted the urge to laugh outright. <br/><br/>""Do it or I walk,"" Barry said. ""And I'll take Shecky with me. He's a jew too, Phil. I'm sure he'll love to hear your kind words about our people.""<br/><br/>Fat Phil pulled himself out the chair with a plop. The exertion left beads of sweat on his forehead. He was a deep shade of red that looked almost coronary purple. <br/><br/>""Fine!"" He said as he stormed out. ""Tell fucking Shecky that I had to go somewhere, I'll be in touch with you goddamn heb thieves.'<br/><br/>Barry laughed quietly to himself once Phil was gone. On the TV, Shecky was on a political kick. He was doing Alfonso Sotelo with a limp wrist, sashaying around the studio while the audience went apeshit. Shecky put on a fay voice when he said ""Oh, I just have to have Africa! It goes to well with all my other colonial possessions, don't you think? If I don't get Africa, I'll just scream!"" He suddenly became an Ethiopian warrior, thumping his chest and spouting out gibberish that sounded like some African language. The crowd was on the verge of mania as Shecky acted out Sotelo bending over for the Ethiopian warrior. Barry roared laughter and clapped his hands.</div>"
22213,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-12-15 03:17:00,gorgenmast,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Airspace over North Africa</span><br/><br/>They had warned him about everything but <span class=""bb-i"">this</span>.<br/><br/>Alfonso Sotelo’s staff and bodyguards had practically begged him not to step aboard the airplane. Should he go through with joining the pilots of the 35th bomber wing for the first major bombing campaigns of the Spanish-Ethiopian war, the Prime Minister would be placing himself in great peril. Miles and miles above the ground, away from his squads of crack bodyguards and the might of the Ejercito, there would be no help for the Prime Minister should disaster strike. And disaster was a very distinct possibility on this mission, as expressed by concerned bomber pilots.<br/><br/>“If your Excellency’s aircraft happens to be shot down over hostile airspace, you <span class=""bb-i"">will</span> be captured. Imagine that: the Prime Minister captured by the socialists.  It would be the end of the war,” Captain Estevez said as his prime minister affixed the bombardier helmet’s chinstraps to his face. That was a sobering possibility to be sure; how delighted Emperor Yaqob and his Chairman puppetmaster would be to have the nemesis himself in chains. Not even Spanish-occupied Africa in its entirety would be a sufficient ransom for the life of Alfonso Sotelo. But as horrible as that thought was, Sotelo knew it to be an impossibility. Ras Hassan’s phantom airforce, whose surprise attack at Djibouti nearly ended the Spanish invasion before it even began, was still at large, but was certainly concentrated around Addis Ababa and the core of the Ethiopian homeland – a land far removed from the target of tonight’s sorties.<br/><br/>What Sotelo wished they had warned him of was the sheer monotony.<br/><br/>The Prime Minister twiddled his thumbs in clasped hands as his eyes wandered about the cabin - a surprisingly claustrophobic space given the airplane's massive size. This was a Gargola, the workhorse aircraft of the Spanish military. These impressive machines could fly great distances while carrying up to twelve tons of cargo; Sotelo himself had seen such an airplanes take off with a halftrack strapped down within its cavernous fuselage, but this particular Gargola was a different beast. The Ejercito and the Armada used cargo variants extensively to maneuver and mobilize across Spanish Africa, where the Spanish-built railroads never strayed very far from the Mediterranean coast. But while the ground forces and navy used the cargo variant, the Spanish air forces possessed Gargolas built for the aircraft's original purpose: carrying heavy bomb loads deep into enemy territory. Tonight's mission entailed precisely that.<br/><br/>Sotelo was therefore surprised that such a mission could be so boring. Two hours had passed since their takeoff that afternoon, and absolutely nothing of interest had happened. If those pilots had not extolled him on the dangers of their mission, but instead told him the flight would be dreadfully boring, Sotelo would have never stepped aboard. Sotelo was no coward, but neither was he a patient man. Having been asked to remain buckled in and seated, he could do nothing but look about at his cramped surroundings.<br/><br/>The world beyond the aircraft seemed no more interesting. Beyond the nearest porthole window, an azure Mediterranean Sea crawled past. A cottony smattering of clouds drifting by over the sea was the only indication that the plane was moving past them at all. Not much in the way of a view. Back inside the airplane, plastic panels covered the walls and ceiling of the cabin, all of which were riddled with instrument dials. At least a hundred black, glassy dials could be seen from Sotelo's seat behind the cockpit, each one giving the viewer the exact value of some arcane measurement. The hands of some were perfectly stationary or quivered slightly while others spun wildly around their centers. He couldn't begin to guess what any of them meant. First aid kits and a small fire extinguisher were the only other objects that adorned the walls of the cabin, save for the only mark of decoration inside the airplane. Affixed just above the portal to the bomber's cockpit was a framed portrait of an angelic woman with a golden halo crowning her head. She could be none other than Saint Barbara: the patron saint of all those who earn their living with explosives.<br/><br/>Beneath Saint Barbara's stoic gaze, one of the airmen emerged from the bomber's cockpit and approached the Prime Minister.<br/><br/>""Your Excellency, my copilot has relieved me from the yoke. Feel free to unbuckle yourself and move around if you wish,"" the pilot offered as he unstrapped his chinstraps and pulled the helmet off of his head. ""Oh, and you can take your helmet off now,"" the pilot added, who Sotelo row recognized as Captain Estevez. ""We're at cruising altitude now - this is the quiet part of the mission.""<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">This</span> is the quiet part of the mission?"" Sotelo sighed, yanking his own helmet off of his head before trying to comb his pompadour back into some semblance of order with his hands. ""I am beginning to suspect your exhortations of peril were all for not, Captain.""<br/><br/>""I wouldn't speak so soon, Excellency,"" the pilot cautioned. ""We're still in transit to the target. Because of your... decision to join us tonight, we've made some alterations to the mission. Our squadron's original target was traded with a sister squadron for a somewhat safer destination. Even so, there is still potential for danger. Now is not the time for danger, Excellency - that comes later. In any case, come with me. I'd like to give you the grand tour while we're leveled out.""<br/><br/>With that, Sotelo unbuckled himself from his seat and stretched his arms out. After two satisfying pops sounded from each elbow, the Prime Minister followed his host deeper into the aircraft. Captain Estevez led him down a narrow aisle through the fuselage. Where the aisle terminated, two tiny cubicles opened up on either side. Fold-out desks were surrounded by instrumentation and still more dials, and seated at each were airmen busy with their respective roles - but not too busy to offer Sotelo a brief salute.<br/><br/>""This is the communications suite."" Captain Estevez reported, gesturing to an airman busy turning knobs on a large radio console, listening intently to some transmission through a mic-affixed headset. ""Our communications officer is our contact with our squadron, fighter support, friendly aircraft, and any Republic military assets within range. He is our link with Madrid and the outside world and is in constant contact with the chain of command until we reach enemy airspace and go quiet."" Sotelo regarded the communications officer with a nod before he and his host turned moved on.<br/><br/>""And here is the bombardier's suite. The bombardier is charged with assisting the pilot and copilot in navigation until we approach the target site. At that point, his role is -as you might imagine- is the destruction of all assigned targets, and he has the most sophisticated technology at his disposal to ensure he succeeds at that role.""<br/><br/>""You've got check this out, Excellency."" An eager bombardier showed Sotelo what appeared to be a periscope sight emanating from his console, inviting him to peer through the lens. The Prime Minister stooped over to peer through the binocular sight, and found himself staring through a crosshaired bomb sight aimed directly downward into the waves miles below. The bombardier flipped a knob on his console and with an audible click, the sea became an intensely bright green.<br/><br/>""Active and passive infrared lens,"" The bombardier declared proudly.<br/><br/>""Night-vision bomb sights,"" The captain translated for Sotelo. ""The advent of this technology has allowed us to conduct bombing missions in absolute darkness as easily and accurately as those carried out at midday. The enemy can no longer rely on the cover of night to save them, while the same darkness offers us enough protection from hostiles that we can fly without fighter escort in most situations."" That reminded Sotelo that Ras Hassan's pilots had apparently been trained to fly at night - presumably without the use of night vision goggles or any of the balance-tipping technology that the Spanish Fuerzas Aereas enjoyed. He thought momentarily about reminding Captain Estevez of that detail, but thought better of it.<br/><br/>""Most impressive,"" Sotelo instead concluded, pulling himself away from the bombardier's post.<br/><br/>The aisle hooked to the right behind the comms station and became a short, narrow corridor that wound around the bomb bay. Sotelo followed Captain Estevez through the tunnel-like corridor, hunching down just to squeeze through. Through a porthole window, one of the bomber's great, black wings could be seen reaching out over the Mediterranean Sea. Hanging underneath the Gargola's ebony wing were two fat engine nacelles, each one holding a propeller rotating at supersonic speed and generating the rhythmic hum that reverberated through the aircraft.<br/><br/>""That nearest engine pod is actually quite the marvel of modern engineering,"" the pilot noted as he saw Sotelo's glance out the window. ""A Gargola's two inner engines use what's called a contra-rotating propeller - two propeller fans rotating in opposite directions on the same shaft. They're substantially more efficient than a standard propeller.""<br/><br/>""Is that so?"" Sotelo asked with feigned interest.<br/><br/>""Absolutely. These propellers allow the aircraft to travel farther and with less fuel. If we were to get into a bind, we can even shut off the outer engines and coast on fumes with just the contra-rotating props going and extend our range by about 1,500 miles. Even one of those engines going would allow the aircraft to limp away to safety."" The pilot pressed on with the tour, but -to Sotelo's irritation- not the topic of conversation.<br/><br/>""Contra-rotating propellers are poised to revolutionize the role and capability of the strategic bomber just as the jet engine is currently revolutionizing fighter aircraft. Unfortunately, we'll probably never see a jet-powered bomber in our lifetimes, but for now, these contra-rotary propellers are the cutting edge of bomber technology,"" Captain Estevez continued on. Sotelo suppressed the urge to say his host was wrong about jet bombers being an impossibility. Alfonso Sotelo himself had pressed the military to discretely request bids to create a bomb-carrying aircraft capable speeds at least as fast as a fighter jet: a vehicle capable of delivering VX weaponry anywhere on the globe within hours. Preliminary reports from the <span class=""bb-i"">Motores Magdalena</span> research department, the skunkworks responsible for the Fantasma, showed incredible potential. <br/><br/>After navigating the narrow corridor all the way through the bomber, stooped over so as to not bonk one's head on the low overhead girders, Sotelo and his host reached the tail end of the tour - literally. The plane-spanning corridor terminated in a dome of pleixglass that extended just beneath the tailfins of the bomber. Scrunched up within the dome was yet another crewmember seated within a metal armature behind a pintle mounted machine gun. He curled around within the contraption and offered the prime minister a salute.<br/><br/>""Why hello there, Excellency! You snuck up on me.""<br/><br/>""This is our ball gunner,"" the captain explained. ""His duty is to ensure enemy fighters do not approach from behind and get the drop on us. That said, I'm somewhat alarmed that we were able to catch him unawares."" Captain Estevez teased.<br/><br/>""If there are are hostiles sneaking up on me from inside the plane, then we've got problems even I can't solve!"" the gunner retorted in jest.<br/><br/>""Redoubtable, to be sure,"" Sotelo concluded after studying the machine.<br/><br/>""And a good thing too. Especially on missions like this one where we have to keep a low profile and fighter escort isn't an option, having some defensive capa-""<br/><br/>""We lack fighter support?"" Sotelo interrupted.<br/><br/>""That's right. The Black Panthers fly under cover of night, not escorts. We go in flying on the deck to avoid radar detection, destroy our targets, and head home before we get intercepted."" Captain Estevez added. That seemed a needlessly risky strategem, even by Sotelo's standards. And though it grated Sotelo to defer to anyone else's judgement, he understood that in the skies, Estevez was the expert and Sotelo knew essentially nothing.<br/><br/>""Care to try the ball out?"" The gunner asked, extricating himself from the turret and offering the seat within to the Prime Minister. Sotelo agreed, lowering himself into the seat gingerly. The skies opened up around him, and he came to appreciate the fact that he was truly flying in a way that could never be experienced by simply sitting within the cabin. The ocean and the clouds rolled by right beneath his feet, the curvature of the very Earth was laid out before him. Sitting in the Gargola's turret was like sitting upon a cloud.<br/><br/>Sotelo's attention quickly turned to the machine gun. Between his knees, he found a huge firearm resting upon a pintle armature pointed out of the turret through a rubber diaphragm. Two drums laden with 50-caliber shells rested against his knees while his finger gravitated toward an enticing trigger. He couldn't resist.<br/><br/>A succession of thunderous reports resounded through the airframe as a forked tongue of fire spewed through the muzzle and vents along the barrel. Sotelo's face wrung itself into a grin as he watched white-hot tracers arc through the clouds and down into the sea. Captain Estevez and the gunner could not help but give a hearty laugh upon seeing his Excellency's unstifled smile. Sotelo soon discovered the pedals under his seat were used to control the rotation and pitch of the ball. He spun down and fired a series of rounds straight down into the sea.<br/><br/>//Getting some target practice in, I see,// the co-pilot's voice came in over the turret's intercom speaker.<br/><br/>""Sure are,"" Captain Estevez replied. ""If his Excellency loses the election come September, I think he'd like to become a ball gunner!""<br/><br/>Sotelo's smile evaporated upon hearing that remark. Sotelo had made assurances that there would be no real competition for him in the Republic's fast-approaching election - the Partido Conservador's ""opposition"" candidates had been selected as regime stooges in return for Sotelo's promises of choice Sudanese mineral rights and reconstruction contracts in the soon-to-be Ethiopian Republic. But there was still a chance, however infinitesimal, that Sotelo would lose. The past four years were only the beginning. With the ultimate victory nearly in his grasp, he could not falter now.<br/><br/>//I'd be glad to have him on our crew! But I have to tell you, Captain, the outer right engine light just came on. I have a good idea what the issue is, but I'd like your assistance with troubleshooting it.//<br/><br/>""A restart will likely sort it out. I'll be back right away, regardless."" As the Captain made his way back to the cockpit, Sotelo began to pull himself out of the turret.<br/><br/>""Oh don't worry about that, Excellency,"" said the gunner. ""They'll want me up there as well to keep an eye on the gauges. Sit tight, you've got the best seat in the house!""<br/><br/>""In that case, I will remain where I am, thank you."" With that, Sotelo was left on his own, watching the ocean and the clouds pass by far below. Even with this magnificent view, ennui soon set in once more. The shimmering wavecrests miles below were a soothing sight for the idle Prime Minister. A teeming agenda every single day, with scores of aides and advisers talking in his ears, with decisions to make and briefings to digest, typically gave Alfonso Sotelo very little idle time. This, coupled with a voracious appetite for <span class=""bb-i"">cocaina</span>, effected a very severe sleep deficit. The wavecrests lapping upon the Mediterranean far below him were quite soothing to behold. So relaxing to weary eyes.<br/><br/>His eyes snapped wide open. Sotelo had no intention of sleeping no matter how boring the flight might be; Spain's cultural shift from a nation of indolent siesta-takers to ambitious investors and workmen fueling the most powerful economy in the world had been hard won over several generations. Catching the Prime Minister asleep during the flight could have severe ramifications.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, his eyelids became heavier and heavier with each blink. Sotelo fought to keep his eyelids open, but fought in vain. His eyelids fell at last, and sleep overtook him.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">THWUMP</span><br/><br/>That sound galvanized the Prime Minister from his sleep. He was trapped within an inky fishbowl. What was this place? It took a moment for Sotelo to recall where he was and how he got here. He must have fallen asleep in the turret. The blackness of night surrounded him; he had been fast asleep for several hours. He realized that they were likely very close to Ethiopian airspace now.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">THWUMP</span><br/><br/>Another percussive burst that shuddered the airframe. A globe of fire materialized in the blackness beneath Sotelo's feet for a fleeting moment before disappearing. The frequency of these plane-rattling bursts increased dramatically over a matter of seconds. The nocturnal void surrounding Sotelo lit up with dozens of momentary flashes; like fireflies in a midsummer field. It dawned upon him that this was a flak barrage. He found himself in the midst of the war he had created.<br/><br/>A flash of hateful orange banished the night from the Earth below, giving the Prime Minister a glimpse of the world he was flying over. A countryside of arid scrubland could be seen, all illuminated by the fireball of a Spanish bomb. A dense cluster of buildings cast long shadows as the fireball rose and dimmed into a smoldering red and disappeared into the night as ember-infused smoke. It was a city - an Ethiopian city - but where?<br/><br/>Over the incessant rumbling of anti-aircraft shells exploding around the airplane, he heard a much more powerful blast. If the flak shells were drums of this martial beat, this sound was a gong. Curious to see where this second blast had come from, Sotelo used his foot pedals to swivel the turret around. A provincial Ethiopian city, illuminated by another infernal blast, came into view. A city center of squat buildings no higher than four or five storys situated itself on the banks of a braided river, which was surrounded by a disorganized network of slums. A single trestle bridge spanned the river - or at least it did until it was engulfed by yet another brilliant explosion. From his plexiglass-enclosed perch, Sotelo watched in awe as the blast sent steel beams that had to have weighed several tons each into the air as easily as straw in the wind. Concrete support pillars crumbled under the force as the roadway itself collapsed into the river channel in a maelstrom of dust and embers.<br/><br/>""Excellency!"" Sotelo heard the gunner call out from behind him. ""The flak is too heavy, get out of there!"" As irritated as he was by such a command, Sotelo had no intention of dying to airborne shrapnel. He pulled himself out of the turret and back into the relative safety of the Gargola's aluminum skin. The gunner slid into the turret with practiced efficiency and swiveled about in every direction, scanning the night for any sign of enemy aircraft. Evicted from his seat, Sotelo made his way back toward the cockpit to see the rest of the crew in action.<br/><br/>Through a corridor illuminated only by dimmed red overhead lighting, Sotelo hobbled through the bomber, pressing against the walls as the plane shuddered from a tireless flak volley. Outside, he could hear a loud pitter-patter that sounded like fat raindrops crashing against the bomber's hull. A chill ran up his spine when he realized that the sound was, in fact, particles of shrapnel falling upon the fuselage.<br/><br/>Through the portholes, Sotelo watched the part of the bombing run unfold. Against a city illuminated by fireballs and flak muzzle-fire, the silhouetted forms of two Gargolas could be distinguished. Against the blackness of the night, their black paint scheme made them all but invisible. From the nearest shadow, a quartet of small bombs fell away toward the Earth from its underside hatch. A spotlight flickered on from the city below and pointed itself at the farther of the two bombers. The shadowy bomber was bathed in cornea-searing white light, galvanizing it to veer away sharply from the impending flak barrage.<br/><br/>""All aircraft must take evasive action!"" Sotelo heard the communications officer speak into his headset as he made for the cockpit. ""I say again, all aircraft must take evasive action! Panther Queen out!""<br/><br/>""Fucking worthless Oficina! Their intelligence report was a crock of shit!"" Captain Estevez's copilot fumed. ""N'djamena was only supposed to have minimal anti-air defense!""<br/><br/>""This is what I was hoping to see, Captain!"" Sotelo declared, clutching the back of the co-pilot's seat for support as Estevez banked hard to the left to confuse the Ethiopian flak gunners. Just then, in view of of the cockpit windshield, a flak shell burst alongside another bomber. A trail of sparks manifested in the exhaust wake of the sister plane. One of its contra-rotating engines - the type that Estevez had blathered on about that afternoon - suddenly went ablaze. The Ethiopians had seen it too, because within a matter of seconds the flak around that plane intensified. Another well-placed shell hit the beleaguered plane squarely in its burning wing, blasting it apart in a burst of shredded metal and fire. It in a trail of embers, the doomed Gargola careened to Earth in a flaming death spiral.<br/><br/>""You've seen nothing yet, Excellency."" Estevez snarled through gritted teeth. ""We're hitting the deck - hold on!""<br/><br/>The pilot pulled the yoke to its absolute limit, sending the bomber in a pirouetting dive toward the Earth. Sotelo hugged the back of the co-pilot's seat as he watched the slums of N'djamena race up toward them through the windshield. Estevez chose the precise moment to push back on the yoke - a difficult feat for a relatively cumbersome Gargola - and leveled out just above the rude rooftops of the city's outskirts. Tin roofs and radio antennae flew past the cockpit at a dizzying speed. Just ahead, the muzzle flare of an anti-aircraft cannon could be seen flashing in and out of existence at roughly eye level. <br/><br/>""Point the turret dead ahead."" Captain Estevez spoke into his intercom speaker.<br/><br/>//Looking to show them some payback for our squadmates, Captain?// Sotelo heard the gunner reply over rumble of bombs and shells.<br/><br/>""You know it.""<br/><br/>Nestled in a vacant lot between two plaster tenements was a pickup truck with a cannon mounted on bed, Armenian-style. They were getting so close now that Sotelo could see the gun turning to face toward them. In the firelight of distant bombs, Sotelo could even distinguish the individual gunners.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Dales plomo</span>!""<br/><br/>With that command, the underside turret thundered to life. White tracers streamed out from under the cockpit and tore into the truck; a shower of sparks and a plume of ignited gasoline assured that gun would pose never pose a threat to any airplane again.<br/><br/>""We will now proceed to the main target."" Captain Estevez announced into his microphone. ""We are making our way to the radar facility, beneath the operational ceiling for their guns, but too low for the bomb sights. Therefore, you will release the entire bomb load on my mark.""<br/><br/>//Understood,// acknowledged the bombardier.<br/><br/>The pilot banked and turned about, giving them all an excellent view of the bombs exploding throughout the riverfront center of the city. From this vantage, Alfonso Sotelo could truly appreciate the scale of this conflict. All throughout the northern hinterland of the Pan-African Empire, Ethiopian cities, fortifications, and outposts were being razed in this exact manner. Tonight, it was N'djamena. Next week, it would be Khartoum, and then Kinshasa and Malabo. And then Kampala, Dessie, Nekemte, Gondar and so on and so forth until Yaqob Yohannes was Emperor of nothing but rubble and cinders.<br/><br/>""I have a visual on the radar masts! Arm the bombs and standby to release!""<br/><br/>And when Addis Ababa was in ruins, and the secret weapons Sotelo had amassed over the past four years shown to the world in all their horrific splendor, the nations of the Earth would understand that resistance would accomplish nothing.<br/><br/>""Bombs away!"" Estevez ordered as the plane swooped above the enemy radar dishes.<br/><br/>From Beijing to Berlin, from Washington to London, there would be no one left in all the world to oppose Spain.<br/><br/>""That's a hit!"" the co-pilot exclaimed as a brilliant flash underneath the plane banished the night throughout the land. <br/><br/>For a day was fast approaching where the Spanish would be ready to make war on all the Earth and triumph.<br/><br/>""Then we've destroyed all our intended targets. Get the rest of the squadron up to cruising altitude, we're out of here.""<br/><br/>And on that day, by conquest or capitulation, all the Earth would submit to Alfonso Sotelo.</div>"

In the distance sirens continued to blare and somewhere out of sight a helicopter was flying overhead. But it was far from the three now as they checked over the fence. Belyakov, still hooded and masked coughed and gasped for air as he lay crumpled in the dirt. He was as exhausted as he was dirty, with the work of thorns and prying sticks having torn is fine expensive suit in many places. Mud as well caked much of his body. In short, he looked less a man and more of a scarecrow than anything.<br/><br/>Over the low wall a squat house paneled in brightly-colored wood siding stood sleepily surrounded by an overgrown garden. A weathered wooden play structure found itself a home in a corner of the property and a forgotten tricycle had managed to find a home half-stuck in the weeds along the fence to the right. The two agents examined the scene with calculating eyes.<br/><br/>“What is of thinkings?” Vasiliy asked in a low voice, he had control of himself enough to try speaking in his shaky Chinese.<br/><br/>Ullanhu was hesitant as he looked over everything again, “Probably a small family.” he said, “Young kids, probably several. I don't imagine anything over six years of age.”<br/><br/>“I is of agreeing to that.” Vasiliy nodded, “And garden is messy. Has to be of one parent.”<br/><br/>“Mother perhaps, no time between kids and work to tend to a garden.” Ullanhu agreed, adding to their profile, “What are you thinking?”<br/><br/>“We need car still, one they is of not looking for. We take their car.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu nodded, he felt a tinge of guilt in his stomach. He nibbled at him at tugged at the strings of his conscious. Were they going to steal from a family? One having a hard-time even?<br/><br/>“I don't see sign of dog.” Vasiliy pointed out.<br/><br/>“I don't either.” concurred Ullanhu, “How are we going to get Belyakov over?”<br/><br/>Vasiliy looked down at the president curled into a ball at the bottom of the fence. He was gasping for breath through a rapidly inflating and deflating bag. “We throw him over fence.” he affirmed, “Drag him the rest of the way.”<br/><br/>“Are you sure? I don't want us to kill him before we can get to Makulov.”<br/><br/>“Is of alrights.” Vasilisy comforted, “He is of man who can take much abuse, he has dished out much already. Is of no change from the norm. Know what to do when we get to the house?”<br/><br/>Vasiliy looked back to the squat single-story home with its shallow roof with wooden shingles. “We can control the mother if we control the kids, threaten them.” he said. The worm in his stomach bit down harder and he felt almost sick he was recommending it, “We don't need to kill them, but pretend we will. She'll give us what we want if we want to get their car.”<br/><br/>“Is good plan, but I think we should destroy phones too. Take them of prisoners as well, at least until we get clear of Moscow. Then they can't tell anyone we is leaving.”<br/><br/>“If you insist, I'm up to anything.” Ullanhu agreed.<br/><br/>“Good, good.” Vasiliy smiled, “Now help me with old bear.”<br/><br/>Reaching down they picked up the president. His heavy body was rolled over the fence to where he landed with a muffled thump on the other-side. Vasiliy and Ullanhu jumped over after him, and taking him by the collar of his once rich suit pulled him up to his feet and across the lawn.<br/><br/>Vasiliy threw his weight into the door, and it swung open as if held by match-sticks. With a crash he and Ullanhu had broken in with the exhausted president in close tow. Immediately they were greeted by a child seated at a high table, picking through a simple sandwich. The kid look up at them with a look of surprise frozen in his face, his sharp blue eyes looking out from under dirty-brown hair. That look of innocent wonder soon exploded into that of young terror as his mother walked into the kitchen and saw as Vasiliy tore the gun out on her son.<br/><br/>She opened her mouth to scream, but Vasiliy cut in with a silencing order, “No sounds or I put your son down!” he screamed threateningly. The child began to whimper and cry. Ullanhu hung back awkward and unarmed. He searched the kitchen frantically looking for something, and found the block of kitchen knives at the corner of the counter. He pulled one from the wood, and threw the rest aside into the sink.<br/><br/>“W-w-what do you want!?” the woman whimpered looking from Vasiliy to Ullanhu, and the bagged president in Vasiliy's arms, “I-is this...”<br/><br/>“Just stop talking!” Vasiliy shouted, shaking the handgun at her child. In his terror the young boy began to sob and cry. The weight of the situation finally dawning on him, “You're going to do what we want!”<br/><br/>The woman looked at Belyakov, trying to figure out where he added in. Or who he was. “Hands up first.” Vasiliy ordered.<br/><br/>The woman obliged, cautiously raising her hands to her head.<br/><br/>“M-mama!” the young boy cried.<br/><br/>“It's alright Ivan, just be good.” his mother counciled. She starred Vasiliy down with a frozen look on her face. If she was going to die she was going to make sure Vasiliy watched her life leave her eyes.<br/><br/>“Do you have a car?” Vasiliy demanded. The situation was falling out of its initial madness and into some semblance of control. But there was still a frantic nature to it. It was still tense. And it still made Ullanhu absolutely ill.<br/><br/>“Y-yes.” the woman nodded, “I-in the garage.” she nodded off to the far-side of the kitchen to the far door.<br/><br/>“Where are the keys?” Vasiliy demanded.<br/><br/>She looked between he and Ullanhu. “Hanging on the icebox.” she responded, looking over at the faded ivory-white metal box perched up on a low shelf, “Right-hand side.” her voice was low and shaky. She was nervous, and afraid. But complacent at least. If things went on as they did, neither of them would have to kill anyone.<br/><br/>Vasiliy gestured to Ullanhu to fetch the key. He worked his way to the side towards it, and reached over to the set of keys hanging on small metal hooks attached to the side.<br/><br/>“Alright, you two are going to come with us.” Vasiliy demanded, waving the gun, “Out of your chair!”<br/><br/>Sobbing, the boy jumped from the chair and ran over to his mother. She wrapped her arms around him and looked up at Vasiliy with cold hazy eyes. Tears were beginning to well in the corners. But Vasiliy wasn't going to have it, not yet.<br/><br/>“To the garage!” he ordered.<br/><br/>Complacently, she obliged. Dragging her son with them. “We're going for a ride.” Vasiliy sneered, “Ullanhu, you're driving. I'll look after these three.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Volgograd</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Old Sarepta</div><br/><br/>There was an almost unbearable heat that beat down from the clear open skies. A clear summery heat that was oppressive in how unshaded it was. Clear outside the center of Volgograd and heading south, Jun strolled along the edge of an eerily rural highway, itself spookily empty save for the odd truck or car that idled its way down the long empty stretch of road-way.<br/><br/>By some strange, perhaps frivolous urban design long open fields stretched on along one side of the road, disappearing below the bases of distant high-rises. While on the other-side the distinct blues and azure cyans of Russian country housing dotted the opposite side with low darkened wood and wire fencing. Solemn street lights stood in meditative prayer as they leaned over the road. The metal posts sprouting out from and curling over banks of short leafy saplings.<br/><br/>Now mid-way along the road, the long path to Old Sarepta was becoming long. Even though the pain that would be in his legs did not gnaw at him like it would have a normal man, he felt the dawning torture of absolute boredom lay its sheet across his head. It was a time where as he walked down the long straight world he wondered why he was here, or why he was doing this. Would simply walking into the Volga delta have been more effective at finding that distant, rumored Chinese community?<br/><br/>But it was hardly time to think about it. Alongside of him a battered and scarred green van pulled up slow alongside of him. Looking aside to the van Jun and the driver's eyes met. With a loud purr the van's engines kicked into a higher gear and slowly accelerated away. Jun stopped, watching with an apprehensive look as the van pulled to the side. He became tense as his hand wandered to his gun as the gravel of the road-side popped under his tire. His cold heavy hands were wrapping around the handle of the revolver tucked close to his breast as the driver door swung open and a man jumped out into the grass.<br/><br/>If he was going to get caught in a shootout, now would be a good time for it to happen. Under the Russian summer sun the two men starred each other down in a setting more fitting for American film. An uncomfortable tense air blew between the two as each stood measuring the other up.<br/><br/>“I'm unarmed, comrade.” the other man declared, holding up his hands. He was a tall figure, with a body built like an ancient oak. Short curly hair whipped down against his brow as he walked over to Jun, hands raised. His eyes hidden behind a pair of glossy, mirror-reflective aviators.<br/><br/>Jun still wasn't sure. His sudden appearance only added to his already tense unease from wandering the lawless southern reaches of Russia. He still kept his fingers hanging on the wooden handle of the nickle-plated gun in his pocket. An urgent feeling warmed his hands to simply dive for the gun and pull it on this man. The other wanted to dash for a sword that wasn't there, only reminding him to how naked he felt in the wild open.<br/><br/>Still, the man kept walking to him. “Jun, am I right?” he asked suddenly. Hearing his name spoken by a Russian sent a paralyzing spear through his spine and Jun froze.<br/><br/>“I'm an agent of Makulov. I received a report months ago to keep an eye out for someone fitting your description. We were supposed to help?”<br/><br/>Jun could vaguely remember the general's offer to back him up. But so far he had not taken him up on it. Nor had he had the opportunity. But still a creeping disdain and repressive paranoia about the man kept Jun's fingers hovering over his gun.<br/><br/>The Russian man looked Jun up and down, studying the torn jacket and his tense posture. But behind those wide glasses the man could have been a camera. He was lifeless in his calculating. “You look like a man whose been through a lot. Did someone shoot you through the lung?” he wondered, looking down at the patched hole hovering over Jun's left breast.<br/><br/>He looked down at it, “This isn't my coat.” he said back, breaking that heavy anticipating silence. The other man nodded.<br/><br/>“Well get your hand off your gun and let me take you for a drive. Where to?”<br/><br/>“Sarepta.” replied Jun. The Russian nodded, lowering his hands.<br/><br/>“Come on, before we're seen.” he beckoned, walking to his battered pale-green van. Jumping into the driver's seat, the Russian threw open the passenger-side door letting in Jun. The agent threw his pack of supplies down between the seats as he slid in.<br/><br/>As he seated Makulov's agent reignited the engine. With a gasping groan it choked itself to life. A muffled metallic ringing pounded from the engine block as it turned back onto the road and was again puttering along.<br/><br/>“When I hadn't had any confirmation on you in a month I was sure you were dead, I didn't expect to see a Chinaman wandering around Tsaritsyn until you showed up.” he began casually, “But I suppose if you're alive still Makulov's offer still stands. What do you need?”<br/><br/>Jun was hesitant to answer, “I could use my sword back.” he lamented, he had been without his Miao Dao for a long time.<br/><br/>“I'm afraid that's not on my inventory list.” the Russian confirmed with a distraught sigh, “I can get grenades, guns. Need a rifle? I got plenty! Polish manufactured too, nothing better except for Spanish guns.”<br/><br/>“I don't need any of those.” Jun responded.<br/><br/>“Right, well it was worth a shot.” the Russian sighed. “What are you going to do in Old Sarepta?” he inquired.<br/><br/>“I'm acting on a lead.” Jun answered flatly. He wasn't in a mood nor did he believe he was in a position to be honest and flat. And though he was not lying he wasn't going to divulge the entire truth.<br/><br/>“You need any back up on this?” Makulov pressed, “Sure, I imagine getting through all these miles to get to this little gem on the Volga doesn't mean your a pussy piece of shit. But come on, what are you doing solo?” he demanded. His tone was somewhere between being belittling and casual in its matter-of-fact teasing. Whatever the case of the banter, it wasn't particularly inviting to the agent.<br/><br/>“That's all, really. I'm acting on a lead.” he insisted.<br/><br/>“Mhm, I see.” nodded the driver, “So what are you going to do after? Go kidnap the president?”<br/><br/>Jun scoffed, “Where ever this goes next.” he answered.<br/><br/>The agent laughed. It was a deep earthly laugh. “Do you want to know what Makulov is up to?” he asked.<br/><br/>Jun considered. “What is he doing?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Word through the grapevines is that he's moved the army to Yekaterinburg and his holding the city to siege. Already they downed an airplane that was supposedly carrying some ten members of the Republican congress and their aids. They've been boasting about that over the radio for days!” he boasted, “Why are you here though and not there? Wouldn't Beijing want somewhere there next to Makulov? For, you know: coordination?”<br/><br/>Jun thought. Makulov's sudden change in priority was a sure surprise. And the dawning realization of what was going on suddenly put his current mission in a new light. What was his purpose out here if not to impress Makulov enough to assist the Chinese directly? “My partner is still with him.” he said, or hoped.<br/><br/>“Ah, I see!” the agent exclaimed, “So the Chairman and Makulov are within each other's light. I suppose that's a good thing.”<br/><br/>Jun didn't see the need to respond. He held a silence as he felt himself lose the entire point in all of this. What was he doing trying to kill Mafiya heads? Why now go after the Horse Lord? He had watched Gabriel kill him. But, The Wraith had assumed command, he guessed.<br/><br/>“Where you going in Old Sarepta?” the agent asked.<br/><br/>“Do you know The Italian?”<br/><br/>“I do, I was just going to visit him. You're not going to kill my contact, are you?”<br/><br/>“Not if I don't have to.” responded Jun.<br/><br/>The Russian shrugged indifferent, “Probably wouldn't matter to me. There are plenty of Gopniks I can extort for intelligence. But The Italian has had much broader contacts. Would be a shame to lose that fat fuck.”<br/><br/>“I'll try not to spoil your merchandise then.”<br/><br/>“Fair enough.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Nanjing</div><br/><br/>Through glistening windows of the train Chu Sun watched as the city of Nanking came into view as they rounded the bend. Obscured by concrete walls and grassy berms separating the farmland from the tracks what had moments ago been a suggestion drawn by blurred pencil-drawn lines of smoke became a strong fact in the afternoon sunlight.<br/><br/>Nanjing, nestled between two stony mountains peeled into view across farmland and fields of wild flowers and alfalfa. Groves of trees in the distance covered the low cityscape only to break apart and show it again where development had demanded. Even miles away where only the stalks of textile factories, refineries, and the region's manufacturing were thin twigs jutting from the ground there seemed to glow a gentle blue light under the clear sky above.<br/><br/>Trembling into the city's edge the farmland began to dissipate as the train entered into town, guided by high walls as it coasted through its shallow trench. With a whistle blaring, it pulled into the central station.<br/><br/>Picking himself off up the seat Chu Sun grabbed his bags under his arms. He tipped his cap onto his head and nodding his fair wells to the conductor exited into Nanjing. Shuffling down from the train he bounded down onto the platform.<br/><br/>All around him people walked crisscross along the open-air pavilion of Nanjing's northern train-station. In the warm sun of summer it was all but comfortable. A hot oppressive humid heat lay across the platform, compounded only more by the smell of the acrid smoke from the trains and the hot sweat and bodies of passengers disembarking their trains, or shuffling to meet theirs.<br/><br/>Strategically placed across the platform large fans buzzed over the crowd, desperately trying to turn the air into a comfortable breeze but did little more than help suppress the smell of exhaust and people against the packed platform. The only natural comfort that swept the train terminal was that of a summery breeze that swept over their heads.<br/><br/>Chu Sun held onto the brim of his hat as he looked to the sky. It wasn't set to rain, though the ground under his feet glistened with the drying remnants of a storm that had just passed through. Birds gathered over-head on the lethargic half-arch that swung over most of the platform. They clustered together along steel beams and watched the flocks of humans wander below. Pulling the visor of his cap down low, Sun marched on.<br/><br/>The terminal structure itself was a much more comfortable affair than outside. Here the fans did not push the stifling air down and the people much more thinned. Marked halls and offices kept the flow in an organized manner as overhead music from speakers played. Some soft classical orchestra swung the old languid strings of folk compositions inter-spaced by morsels of news through a choked tin-can. The tinny wavering of the reader's voice hummed above the chatter and background noise of the terminal building as he squeezed through the checkpoint to the city outside.<br/><br/>Standing at the top of a bank of steps Sun faced the sun again, this time glistening off the rolling green of the Yangtze river. From the far side of a paved plaza decorated with trees and shrubs around a towering statue of a rifle-armed revolutionary the mighty Yangtze shimmered in the sunlight with sliver ferocity. Boats both modern and ancient skirted across the waves as the life of the city moved and turned between its banks. And below him the traffic of the road moved with as much intensity.<br/><br/>At the bottom of the stairs buses waiting, departing, or arriving gathered at the side-walk farming from or delivering to the station the masses only to tremble off into the flow of the traffic spewing a thin cloud of smokey-blue exhaust. Sun Chu stood at the top of those steps, looking down to the side-walk below searching for the man who was to pick him up. Scanning the road-side he adjusted the lapel pins on his slate-gray uniform.<br/><br/>The road was awash with motor traffic and the unhurried pace of the remnants of an older China. Horse or bike drawn carts galloped or rolled down the far-side of the street. These wagons laden with produce or raw-materials moved the commerce of the smaller unregulated markets of China. The artisan's world, an industry too meager to approach or too hobbyist to bother. Or if not for them, it was from the out-skirting farms and destined to market.<br/><br/>Through the course of the traffic he saw cutting a course through the cars, trucks, and buses what he assumed to be his ride. A police car, white with sharp-corners and a single button flasher perched atop its hood swerved across the lanes, and parked itself in a recently vacated spot. He used the vacancy greedily, using it to its highest advantage as the officer within pulled over to the side. The man inside looked around and looked up at the station, Sun Chu rose a hand to hail him as he looked up towards him.<br/><br/>The Nanjing officer's face lit up as he saw him and he swung open the door and stepped out onto the side-walk. “Comrade!” he shouted over the roar of engines as the loud rumble of cars and the chatter of people.<br/><br/>Sun Chu rose a hand to him and walked down the steps, holding his briefcase close to his side as he came down from the station.<br/><br/>“Jeingguan Sun Chu, brother.” Chu bowed, introducing himself.<br/><br/>“Hua Rui.” the other officer introduced himself as, returning the favor, “Is it just you?” he asked, looking behind him expecting more.<br/><br/>“For right now.” Chu answered, “I came alone, I gave the others extra time to prepare so I could come ahead of time and do some preliminary work.” he explained, “They should be in town later today.”<br/><br/>“Oh, right right.” Rui acknowledged uncomfortably, “I was expecting I would be driving a few more is all.” he added, smiling stiffly. Walking around the police car he added as he opened the passenger door: “Please, take a seat. I'll explain what's happening on the way in.”<br/><br/>“Thank you.” Chu sighed, moving to claim his seat. As he sat down Rui slammed the door closed and ran to take the wheel. As the car started with a strained groan they were off into Nanjing's streets.<br/><br/>As Rui pulled through the traffic, he began his briefing, “Things are going to moving fast for Dong Wu's body.” he began, “So I think the first thing you'll need to ask to do is get morgue access and follow up on the examiner's autopsy of the body. But the Dong family is demanding we send it to them for his cremation and funeral so you can't have it long.”<br/><br/>“You're running out of time on him then?” inquired Chu.<br/><br/>“We're reaching that threshold. He's not an unknown corpse so we can't keep him indefinite.” Rui quipped sarcastically, “They've been loud petitioning the department for us to hand his body over so they can perform the last rights and put his ashes to rest.”<br/><br/>“This has to be hard on them.”<br/><br/>Hua Rui shook his head and laughed, “Fuck if it hasn't been on us. Mrs. Dong has been storming into the department wailing for us to surrender the body and we're holding off for as long as we can for you and your staff to arrive.”<br/><br/>“My condolences on you.” Chu quipped without particular remorse.<br/><br/>“Yea well, whatever.” sighed Rui, “Beyond that the original crime-scene has been cleaned up now. You're not going to find any uncontaminated forensic evidence but we got a long list of witnesses we need to have followed up on. None of us in the department has the time to go through them head for head and keep up on the city's own drama. Our detectives are working several cases of their own, we're understandably stressed.”<br/><br/>“Mayor reacted?”<br/><br/>“He has, but said nothing that sounds at all original. A lot of promises to clamp down but we don't know how much he or the city commune can or will do to involve themselves. It might stink of political favoritism to them.<br/><br/>“Or is this why you're here?”<br/><br/>“I try not to ask.” answered Chu, “Scene aside, do you have anything else? A remains of a bomb?”<br/><br/>“Plenty of that. We're trying to put it together but maybe when the rest of you get here you'll get it done faster.”<br/><br/>“I plan to.” Sun Chu asserted.<br/><br/>[/h2]Taklamakan desert, South of Korla, Xianjing[/h2]<br/><br/>A pair of riders crested the rolling sand dunes of the Taklamakan atop chestnut horses. They rode atop their mounts high and majestic as they trotted through the gently shifting desert sands. The soft muffled beat of hooves in the winding wind-trails on the desert floor the only sound that broke the gently puffing air. From the south a lethargic sigh of cold dry air rolled down from the Himalayas into the desert basin. The riders rode right into it.<br/><br/>“Your back is still rigid, you grip the reigns too tight!” Han Hue called as he came over the hill, just behind the youthful rider who took the lead. Ma Gang looked back awkwardly at his uncle as he shifted in his saddle.<br/><br/>“When I was a youth your age I knew damn well how to ride a horse!” Hue continued to berate as he trotted alongside his nephew, “Though the times are changing tradition should not.” he reminded the boy as he came to match his nephew's pace down the hill. Han Hue's voice was solid and scolding, it held a promise of a whip behind it. Even though he was long retired, that long general that had decades ago shepherded men across the field still commanded his soul and spirit. It possessed him when he needed it, keeping him genial when it needed to be.<br/><br/>But staring down at his nephew as he looked up at him that past had come forward. He was a critical teacher.<br/><br/>Ma Gang could not argue with his uncle's certainty, and adjusted to his expectations. Softly as if he was riding on clouds Hue commanded his horses to circle to the other-side of his nephew as they reached the low valley of the dunes.<br/><br/>“You may know how to ride a motorbike, but what happens when it fails you and all you have is a horse? Its comfort relies on you being just as comfortable. Are you comfortable?” inquired Hua.<br/><br/>“I-I am now.” Gang responded nervously. He snapped his head forward as he leaned his weight back off of the incline the two had been on.<br/><br/>“The people of these lands and our family have been riding and raising horses for generations beyond memory.” Hua He preached, “It is in our blood. Unless my sister lost that blood when she married that man from Wuhan.<br/><br/>“But feel the beast between your legs. Know the way its muscles turn and flex as it walks. Know its weight and what it wants. Know it like a friend so you can command it to go where you need it to. Its and your wills should be one.”<br/><br/>“Can I ask a question?” Gang approached carefully as they came to trot through the bottom of a sandy trough.<br/><br/>“Ask and receive.” He bid openly.<br/><br/>“China has aeroplanes and tanks. Why bother with something as antiquated as horses?”<br/><br/>Hua He scoffed. “On some fundamental level all society need some beast of burden.” he answered, “Even China, we still need our horses and our oxen and the mules. Not all peoples in the great nation can have mechanical tractors and crop dusters. They may not be capable of running such machines. Or the opportunity may not be afforded on them. And should the opportunity or capability be out of your reach to use a truck or a motor-bike: would you take the horse as your vehicle or your feet?<br/><br/>“And even to a small extent our army must use horses. And I have heard of Russian militaries in the west who in their desperation turn again to the horse as their sacred vehicle. It is preparation and readiness for a certain possibility that you must learn. Should you find yourself in the mounted patrol units or by some cruelty you are incapable of driving: learning how to ride will pay in spades.<br/><br/>“And even more Gang,” He continued, pausing, “it is part of my legacy.” he added.<br/><br/>“I was the premier cavalry commander in the west loyal to the old communist party. I commanded the Hui-People's Lancer Corp. Many of those men have died or faded away, and I'm not waiting for that legacy to pass. It falls upon each man to teach the next generation the same skills bestowed upon him by his father and father's father, and his own brothers and comrades. Each successive generation is owed by the previous to be bestowed upon with the wisdom of the collective experience of their father's and mother's. It may take a child-hood, or it will take a life-time. But you will learn from me: and the holy Quran.”<br/><br/>The desert continued shifting endlessly as the pair continued their ride under the clear never-ending skies above them. As the afternoon sun began to wane and arc low into the sky the two stopped in the shade of a sand-dune. Hua He tossed onto the ground a light pouch. He produced from it several loaves of flat naan bread. Handing over a dish-pan size wheel of flat-bread to his nephew he took a seat in the dry sand and the two ate.<br/><br/>“It was too far from Korla that I was sitting with my men having a meal much like this.” Hua He said, breaking a gentle silence that had hung between the two. A glossy look of reflection shone in his eyes. Ma Gang looked at his uncle with an enraptured stare. He liked the war stories, “We were half a day from the city after the party officials requested we put down a perspective attempt at Uyghur separatism. It was hardly much. Small, almost irrelevant. Distant from the virtuous energy that was the first East Turkestan Republic. But we were tasked at quelling them.<br/><br/>“They broke from the city as soon as me and my men arrived and surrendered themselves to the desert and disappeared. Our simple presence was enough to remind them of the hostilities their people faced if they acted reactionary to The Party. But soon after we caught wind of a Russian column that was maneuvering further west. We suspected they were some part of a Russian mission to bolster separatists and maybe build a Russian satellite in China; we had heard rumors like that, they were looking for a new Mongolia in China.<br/><br/>“So not several hours after arriving in Korla I ordered the men to remount and ride west. We stopped for an hour during an evening like this: still, quiet. You could hear the horses breath as the sun lay down to rest. We ate simply, looking west to where our target rested. We expected an actual fight, we were looking for one.”<br/><br/>“What happened?” Ma Gang asked.<br/><br/>“We got there and the Russians were tired and wounded, they had fled into China from Turkestan having been chased out but Kazakhs angry at them. They were hoping to go home but we rode half of them down, injured and captured nearly a hundred. The rest scattered and ran north. Back home I think, I hope.”<br/><br/>Hua He's voice fell silent as he looked to the dark northern sky. His face gaunt as he drifted through the memory. “Home was  their peace and now Russia is on fire. Sometimes when I think about it I wonder if those men are proud now. I wonder even if they decided to pursue asylum in Siberia, or if they're in Outer Manchuria. It's unlikely, I know.”<br/><br/>“If China were to be like Russia, would you flee?” Gang asked.<br/><br/>Hua He stopped to consider the question. It came with its own complicated answer. For all his prison sentences and personal insecurity with the state he had to ponder it. “I would die here.” he answered.</div>"

Newman had really tied it on last night. He’d spent most of the morning throwing up and had made little time to iron out the several sizes too small suit that clung to his body. It was a wonder he’d managed to make it to the memorial service that morning at all. Even seeing people move intensified his nausea and he stood with his back against the wall of the room to steady himself for a moment. Paul Winters nodded to him with a knowing smile from across the room. Unlike Ray he’d known when to call it a night and looked in far better shape than Newman this morning. As Ray moved to place a hand on his face he saw the form of a slight, grey-haired woman moving towards him. It was Oldfield’s mum. She placed a gentle hand on Ray’s side and smiled at him.<br/><br/>“Thank you for coming, Raymond. It means a lot to me.”<br/><br/>Alice Oldfield was young, far too young to be the mother of a dead son, and despite her grey hair there was still a youthfulness to her features. It was unnerving how much she looked like Oldfield. As far as Ray knew Oldfield’s parents had divorced when James was in his teens and his father lived off in Spain with a pretty young wife. Newman had thought he might have been here this morning. He’d thought wrong.<br/><br/>Ray smiled back at Alice feebly as he felt another wave of nausea sweep over him. “There’s no need to thank me. James was my partner, ma’am. It’s the least I could do in the circumstances.”<br/><br/>“Still, I’m sure what happened hasn’t been easy on you,” Alice said as she pushed a strand of grey hair behind her small ears. “Do you have family about you? A wife, children, things like that?”<br/><br/>Ray felt his cheeks redden with embarrassment and he shook his head as he stared down at the ground. “I’m afraid my wife and I separated some time ago.”<br/><br/>“I’m sorry to hear that,” Alice sighed. “A man should have people around him in times like these. It’s not good to be on your own. You know, James spoke of you often. He said you were a good man, Raymond, and that he learned a lot from you. You’re always welcome here. Don’t hesitate to stop by if you ever need someone to talk to or a cup of tea.”<br/><br/>Even through his nausea and embarrassment Newman felt his chest swell with pride at the thought Oldfield had thought him a good man. Ray wasn’t even sure whether <span class=""bb-i"">he</span> thought he was a good man or not. He’d lost his wife, his children wanted nothing to do with him, and he’d never seen a suspect he didn’t think he could punch the truth out of. James Oldfield had been <span class=""bb-i"">natural</span> police, the kind of guy the used tell stories about, over-prepared and always informed. He put Newman to shame. It was why Ray felt so guilty at the fact he was the one still left standing and not James. If Oldfield were stood in a room full of Ray’s loved ones, few and far between as they were, he’d be consoling them instead of them consoling him, he’d have found the words to make this seem alright. Yet here Ray was still steaming and sweating through his cheap suit from the night before.<br/><br/>Newman looked to Alice and was taken aback by the strength the mousy woman was showing. He cleared his throat and tried to put his feelings into words as best he could. “I feel like this conversation should be happening the other way around.”<br/><br/>“Nonsense,” Alice said with a gentle smile. “That person that pulled that trigger may have robbed my son from me but I refuse to let them take the happy memories I have of James. He was an inquisitive child, an excellent, diligent student, and a better man. If he were here he wouldn’t want me to cry or weep for him. He’d want me to keep living my life and that’s what I intend to do. What better way to get back at the people that took him from me?”<br/><br/>Newman stared at the picture of James Oldfield in his uniform at the front of the room. Scattered around it were flowers and other pictures of him. It mad Ray sick to his stomach that whoever had gunned James down was still walking around on the streets somewhere. They’d killed a policeman and gotten away with it. What was happening to this country that such a thing could happen? That the police, the government, that <span class=""bb-i"">everyone</span> wasn’t tearing the whole damn country apart looking for his killers. It was because they were coloureds. Ray knew that. Campbell was too soft on them and it trickled down into every home, every police station, and every school in the entire country.<br/><br/>Ray shook his head grimly as his silent vow found voice. “I’ll find the coloureds that did this, I promise you that much, and when I do I’ll make them hurt for it.”<br/><br/>He had expected a smile from Alice Oldfield, perhaps even a hug, but the second his sentence had left his mouth Alice’s face had contorted into a look of disgust that cut Newman to the quick. <br/><br/>“I am <span class=""bb-i"">not</span> comfortable with that word, Raymond, and neither was my son,” Alice said with a scornful shake of the head. “James did not believe in “us and them” and I won’t have you profaning his memory by speaking like that in my home. If you have any respect for what James stood for you’ll remove that word from your vernacular this second.”<br/><br/>Around the room heads had begun to turn in their direction and Ray could feel eyes boring into him as he took Alice’s words in. She was wrong. At least, Ray <span class=""bb-i"">thought</span> she was wrong. He thought back to that night in Brixton and remembered his discussion with James. A burnt out car on a council estate, probably burnt out to draw them there, and still Oldfield wouldn’t finger the coloureds until he had them bang to rights. If he’d listened to Ray and not trusted those animals to act civilly maybe he’d still be alive. Yet there was something there, a nagging thought at the back of Ray’s mind, as he thought about Oldfield. He thought highly of James. More so than he did Winters or any of his other colleagues. Maybe even more so than anyone else he’d known. How could someone right about everything else be wrong on this? What if… what if James wasn’t wrong?<br/><br/>Ray shook his head slightly and banished the thought from his mind as he glanced towards Alice. “I’m sorry… I spoke out of turn, I should have known better than to… I just… The <span class=""bb-i"">person</span> that killed James is still out there and there’s nothing I can do about it. They’ve put me on administrative leave and… I don’t know what to do with myself at the moment. I can’t remember a time before I was just… the uniform.”<br/><br/>After several seconds of silence Alice looked at Newman as if she could see through. At once Ray felt like she saw him, the real him, beneath all of this. She sighed sympathetically and stood against the wall with him. “Why did you become a police officer?”<br/><br/>“To help people.”<br/><br/>Alice gestured to the people around the room. “You don’t need a uniform to do that, Raymond. James helped people long before he put that uniform on and I’m certain he would have continued to long after he’d taken it off too. You can <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> help people.”<br/><br/>Given that Ray could barely look after himself the notion of his being able to help other people seemed alien to him. He looked to Oldfield’s mother tentatively as he asked. “Where do I start?”<br/><br/>“Why don’t you start with yourself?” Alice said with a gentle smile. “I’d hoped this service might grant the people closest to James some closure, that it might help them move on, but I can see that it’s not enough for you.”<br/><br/>Again it felt like Alice’s frosty blue eyes saw into him. Newman felt like they were the only two people in the room as she spoke to him in a tone so gentle, so tender that it was almost hypnotic. He was a grown man, the best part of a decade older than Alice, but he could feel her mothering him as she might have mothered James once. He wanted to be strong enough not to need her support and guidance but in truth he needed it more than anything. He felt his nausea clearing as she spoke and his shaking hands felt stilled by words.<br/><br/>“Go back there, Raymond, go back to where they took my son from me and make your peace. Don’t let my son’s death be in vain.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>Keenan Gayle climbed the final few stairs of Moorlands Estate with Simone’s small hand clutched tightly to his. Keenan was covered in dried paint and dust from the afternoon’s work and his muscles ached but he sensed relief but a few paces away as they reached the top of the stairs. His daughter swung a lunchbox bearing a unicorn around by her side and it smacked her father’s legs with each step they took but Keenan was too tired to complain. All he wanted to do was rest. As they turned the final corner to their home Keenan stopped dead in his tracks as he spotted a portly middle-aged man in his doorway adjusting the locks on the door to their flat. He tugged his daughter behind him and approached the man cautiously whilst trying not to alert his attention.<br/><br/>When he was within a metre of him Gayle barked at him in a voice that forced the portly man to jump. “What the fuck’s going on?”<br/><br/>From beside him Simone looked up at him with disapproving eyes. “Dad.”<br/><br/>“Sorry,” Keenan sighed. “Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”<br/><br/>The man shouted into the flat and another man appeared. He was tall, standing six foot four at the very least, but impossibly thin. He wore a grey suit and a long black trench coat over it that reached almost halfway down his calves. His short black hair formed a quiff at the front of his head and his sharp features and inquisitorial eyes put Keenan ill at ease. <br/><br/>The skinny man reached for a clipboard and scanned it whilst cliking his tongue as he took in the details. “Mr. Gayle, I presume?”<br/><br/>Keenan nodded. “Yes, now tell me what you’re doing to my house?”<br/><br/>The man shook his pointed head without looking up from the clipboard. “This is not your house, Mr. Gayle, this house belongs to Lambeth Council and now that Mr. Clarke is deceased it will go to another tenant that needs it.”<br/><br/>It was unnerving to hear Errol referred to as Mr. Clarke. Errol had never been Mr. Clarke to Keenan or Simone, he’d never even been Mr. Clarke to his postman, he’d been “Uncle Errol” to everyone. The police had still yet to visit Keenan about Errol’s murder and he’d not heard a peep about any investigation into it. Yet here the council were trying to take their home away from them. If he wasn’t so exhausted he would have been inclined to lay hands on the man in the trench coat for his condescension.<br/><br/>“We need it,” Keenan mumbled as he tried to get his head around what was happening. “This is our home.”<br/><br/>“Was your name on the tenant’s agreement, Mr. Gayle?”<br/><br/>Keenan didn’t even know what a tenant’s agreement was and he was too tired to pretend. Instead he shook his head and tried to appeal to the man’s sense of fairness. “We’ve lived here for years and where I could I gave money to Errol here and there, he was like a grandfather to my daughter and a father to me. You can’t just come and take our home away from us. That’s not right.”<br/><br/>The tall man sighed as he placed the clipboard beneath the armpit of his trench coat and signaled to the locksmith to begin working again. “This home ceased to belong to Mr. Clarke the moment he illegally sublet the property to you, Mr. Gayle, so I’d be thankful for the time you did have in it if I were you.”<br/><br/>“What are you talking about?” Keenan spluttered as his eyes widened. He placed his hand in the doorway to Errol’s flat to stop the locksmith from resuming his work. “Where are we meant to live?”<br/><br/>The tall man frowned and placed one of his pale hands on Keenan’s arm to remove it. “Go to the housing office at the council building and they’ll place you on a waiting list for social housing. Given your daughter’s age I can’t imagine you’ll have to wait very long for a home. Six months, seven perhaps, eight or nine at the very worst.”<br/><br/>“This isn’t right,” Keenan said as he stood his ground. “This is our home.”<br/><br/>The tall man’s grip was vice-like as he pried Keenan’s arm away from the doorway with ease. Despite his slender frame there was a strength to the man that made Keenan seem like a gnat. “No, Mr. Gayle, it’s not. The sooner you get your head around that, the better for both you and your daughter, I’m afraid. As of this morning this home belongs to Lambeth Council again. Am I understood?”<br/><br/>He wanted to fight it. He wanted to throw down with the tall man, the locksmith, and whoever else they sent to take their home away from them but he knew this was the beginning of the end. There was no way back. The home was gone. No matter how many times he pleaded with him, no matter how he begged, the flat Errol Clarke had lived in since the day he’d arrived from Jamaica was gone. Losing his temper would only make things worse. Keenan had Simone to think about. The last thing she needed was to lose him too.<br/><br/>Keenan stepped back, shot his daughter an unconvincing smile, and then looked towards the council official with eyes like an open wound. <br/><br/>“What are we meant to do, man? Where are we meant to go? This is all we have.”<br/><br/>A heavy sigh escaped from the tall man’s lips and he rubbed his brow with one of his pale hands. He gestured towards the locksmith to stop working again and scribbled something on his clipboard impatiently before looking up at Keenan with a sympathetic expression that sat uncomfortable amongst his pointed features.<br/><br/>“Look, I’ll give you a night, okay? That should give you enough time to get your things together and find somewhere to stay for the time being. This time tomorrow I’m going to come back and I expect both you and your daughter to be long gone. Alright?”<br/><br/>Keenan nodded by way of thanks and the man took a glance towards the watch on his wrist. He gathered his things in silence and then moved from the doorway of Errol Clarke and Keenan Gayle’s flat. As he passed Keenan he glanced down at Simone and stopped in his tracks. <br/><br/>“I’m sorry for your loss,” he muttered before nodding curtly and disappearing down the stairway of Moorlands Estate.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Cape Town, South Africa</span><br/><br/>Lieutenant Woolgar Donovan knelt for a moment to catch his breath. He was thirty-seven years of age and despite being in exceptional physical shape his insides were that of a man twice his age. He’d smoked heavily as a boy growing up in Sheffield. Eight generations of Donovans had worked in the steel industry in Sheffield but the Troubles had put an end to that. Woolgar was the last of them. He had taken no wife, fathered no children, and had resigned himself to that fact. If his blackened lungs didn’t kill him he was sure stepping on a mine would do. He’d volunteered for the Army at thirty-two, much older than the average volunteer, because he’d hoped in what few years he had left he’d find adventure. He’d found more adventure than he could handle in South Africa. They all had.<br/><br/>Donovan’s once pale white face was tanned brown and caked in dirt. His once platinum blonde hair was thick with the dirt too and looked more brown than blonde in this light. He was strong, stronger than he had any right to be given the state of his insides, and to his surprise he’d taken to leadership more naturally than he’d ever imagined he might do. His platoon looked to him for instruction at all times and did so without grumbling. Woolgar was almost ten years older than the eldest man in his platoon and at times he found it hard to relate to them. Some had wives back at home, some children, and all of them wanted to see Britain’s shores again. There were times when the Lieutenant wasn’t sure whether he did. Yet here he was helming a platoon of home-sick men, responsible each of their wellbeing, and returning them home to their families in one piece.<br/><br/>A familiar voice called out to Woolgar from amidst a row of shacks.<br/><br/>“Lieutenant.”<br/><br/>Nick Marsh, a young corporal from Norfolk, stood in the doorway of one of the shacks and gestured to Woolgar to take a look inside. Donovan stood up, brushed his hands clean off dust, and approached the shack whilst gesturing to the rest of his men to stay there.<br/><br/>The first thing Woolgar noticed as Marsh pulled the shack door aside was the stench. It almost was strong enough to knock him from his feet. Death. It was a smell he’d been familiar with even before coming to South Africa. An old man on Woolgar’s childhood road had died and been left unfound to rot in his home for weeks. When the ambulance had finally come the whole street had stunk of death for days. This was far worse than that. Whatever died inside had been able to roast in the South African sun all day long. Tears brought on by the smell trickled down Donovan’s cheeks and he wiped them away with the sleeve of his uniform. The dirt cake on them parted to reveal the pale skin beneath.<br/><br/>He muttered to Marsh to follow him inside and shut the door behind them. There were flies everywhere. The men covered their mouths with their sleeves and waved their hands in front of them to clear a way through until the source of the smell came into sight.<br/><br/>“Fuck,” Donovan muttered. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.”<br/><br/>Dangling from hooks in the corner of the shack were bodies. Their hands and feet had been cut off and the skin had been flayed from their flesh but they definitely were bodies. It was almost hard to tell from looking at them. The way they hung together made it hard to count them but Donovan made out at least six of them. From behind him Woolgar heard Marsh retching and felt the splatter of his sick splash against the back of his boots.<br/><br/>On the wall of the shack smeared in blood with a phrase that made Woolgar’s blood run cold.<br/><br/>Marsh wiped his mouth and then pointed up at it. “What is that?”<br/><br/>“Mulungus out.”<br/><br/>Marsh fought back another retch and then looked to Woolgar with a confused look. “Mulungus?”<br/><br/>“Whites,” Donovan muttered despondently as he prepared to call it in. “Whites out.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">The Strand, London</span><br/><br/>A nervous smile appeared on Joyce Campbell’s face as she spotted Thomas Moore waiting in the Savoy’s restaurant. He was handsome, even more than he’d been during their time at Oxford, and as well-turned out as any man Joyce had ever seen. He’d always been vain. His grey-flecked blonde hair was coifed to the side in such a way as to make him devil may care but Joyce knew better than that. Tom would have taken hours preparing for this. She imagined him stood in front of a mirror combing his hair back and forth and her smile grew somewhat. It was then that Moore spotted her and beamed in her direction as he stood up from his seat. Joyce returned his smile and approached the table timidly before taking the seat that Moore had pulled out. As she did so Moore had rested his hand familiarly on the small of her back to guide her into her seat. Once they were seated Moore poured glasses of champagne for the both of them.<br/><br/>“I must say, I was shocked when I received your call this afternoon. You have been less than receptive to my representations over the years.”<br/><br/>Tom had written Joyce more letters than she could count in the years after their tryst at Oxford. She had never returned them. They had come fewer and further between once Moore had married but on occasion they would still arrive. Once Fraser had come Prime Minister they had come to a halt. She thought of husband and the true reason she was with Thomas tonight as she gulped down a mouthful of champagne.<br/><br/>“Things have been very complicated, Tom. Between Fraser’s career and the children I didn’t have much time in my life for much else. Even if I <span class=""bb-i"">did</span> yearn for something more… There was no way I could have acted on those feelings.”<br/><br/>One of Moore’s eyebrows lifted with intrigued. “What changed?”<br/><br/>For all his vanity the Home Secretary was still a sharp, incisive man. Joyce couldn’t tell whether Moore really wanted to know or whether he was mining for information. It wasn’t enough that Joyce had agreed to meet him after all these years. He had to hear her ram the knife into Fraser’s back time and time again, to rub his adversary’s face in the mud even without his knowing, before he could be content. She took another mouthful of champagne and shrugged her shoulders.<br/><br/>“The children are off at boarding school and Fraser is more interested in his work than he is me. He hasn’t so much as looked in my direction in months. He’s been distant since he entered Downing Street and at first I put that down to the pressure’s that came with the job. Recently though I’ve started to wonder if… if the whole thing, everything we’ve built together, has been one big lie. If he sought me out because I was pretty and from a respectable family. If he knew even then that he’d need a piece of arm candy for him to drag with him to the top.”<br/><br/>Moore sneered.<br/><br/>“I hope you’ll forgive my saying so, Joyce, but the man is a fool. He’s <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> been a fool. He was a fool at Oxford and is even more of one in Downing Street. That he would have such a beauty in his life and neglect it speaks to that. You deserve better than him. You always have done.”<br/><br/>The Home Secretary reached across the table and laid his hand on top of Joyce’s with a smile. Joyce felt a flicker of guilt as he rubbed his thumb against the side of her hand and pulled her hand back with a coy look.<br/><br/>“You know I can’t leave him. The children… I couldn’t put them through that in front of the entire country.”<br/><br/>“You don’t need to. Fraser won’t be Prime Minister forever, Joyce. Eventually he’ll be summoned to the Palace and be given his marching orders by King William. All political careers are doomed to fail in the end. You know that better than I do. When that day comes you and the children can be free of him. You can have what you <span class=""bb-i"">really</span> want.”<br/><br/>Moore had no idea what she really wanted. He’d never had any idea what she wanted. More than anything Joyce wanted a Britain free from of all forms of tyranny and she’d do whatever it took to get that – even if that meant defiling her body and her marriage in doing so. Moore could never understand that, he came from old money and was chummy with the Palace, and if he did know he’d have turned Joyce in without a second’s thought. He was a monarchist, he’d been one since before their days at Oxford, and to him the King was Britain. Joyce had made Fraser in her image, made him everything that Moore could never be, and together they would tear the Palace down. Together they’d create the Britain they wanted.<br/><br/>First she needed to get through the night. Moore ordered food for the pair of them and they reminisced about their time at Oxford, spoke very briefly about Moore’s wife Daphne, before things quieted somewhat whilst they ate.  <br/><br/>“The food is exquisite.”<br/><br/>“I knew you’d like it. You remember when I tried to make duck l’Orange for us all those years ago?”<br/><br/>“How could I forget? You burned the poor bird to cinders.”<br/><br/>A nostalgic smile crossed Moore’s face. “Those were good times, were they not?”<br/><br/>In truth Joyce could barely remember them. They felt so long ago that she had to strain to remember the months she’d spent with Moore. She had been a different person then, a girl, and sat before Moore this evening was a woman. She’d married, had children, and built a life for herself since then. She thought of them as she glanced down at her emptied plate with a despondent look. She knew what was coming, what this night was building too, and try as she might she couldn’t withstand this farce much longer. <br/><br/>Again Moore smiled at her from across the table. “Is something wrong?”<br/><br/>“Take me upstairs,” Joyce muttered as she reached across the table and placed her hand on top of his. “Take me upstairs and make me feel wanted again, Tom.”</div>"

'The Battle of Meskel'</span><br/><br/>Emperor Iyasu V looked out from the hills south of Dire Dawa, across the smoky remains of the battlefield. Only the shadow of the railroad town at Dire Dawa stood out on the horizon; a city in a bowl made of mountains, with the Dechatu river valley flowing parallel to it in the north. A hand-rolled cigarette dangled from his lip. The pleasant scent of the tobacco helped to nullify the smell of sulfur and ash rising from the battlefield. This had not been his first fight, but it was most spectacular he had ever witnessed.<br/><br/>The truth of the matter was that the <span class=""bb-i"">real</span> battle, the one that decided the war, had been fought and won eleven months ago at Segale by Iyasu's father, the Negus of the North Mikael Ali of Wollo. The enemy that he had just witnessed being decimated in front of him was the remnants of those defeated rebels, and this battle had been more of an excuse for the victors to show off for their newly confirmed Emperor than a tactical necessity. The Germans and Turks, eager to keep Ethiopia fighting in the Great War, wooed him by demonstrating the use of aeroplanes on the battlefield. The planes were simple double-winged constructs of wood and canvas, with powerful rotary engines that turned propellers on the nose. As simple as they looked, they were delightful, and Iyasu had trembled with giddiness when he watched the men in the rear seats of the crafts toss grenades and bombs on top of the rebels from the safety of the sky. He also had the Europeans to thank for the supplying the ammunition that powered his army's machine guns and rifles. <br/><br/>The Central Powers were not the only force to perform for the Emperor that day. Mansuur ibn Ra'd, Iyasu's ally in Somalia, had sent him a regiment of his Dervishes. They were wild-haired Somali warriors who, wielding more swords and spears than they did rifles, led charge after charge alongside other Somali, Harari, and Afar Muslims while Iyasu's own Ethiopian troops held back and exchanged gunfire with the enemy. <br/><br/>This had all happened in the trenches that the rebels had hastily dug around the edges of the city; an attempt to buy themselves time with European tactics. That had been a desperate move. They no longer had the support that they once did, and isolated in the Muslim-leaning eastern half of the country, they were cut-off from what little natural support they still had in the highlands. The rebelling nobility, having lost their homeland, had fled south-east, hoping to link up with the British and French Askari forces along the coasts. Ras Tefari had managed to escape, alongside a handful of lesser nobles, but the rest had been caught and surrounded at Dire Dawa.<br/><br/>To Iyasu, he felt like he was looking at his truest victory, even if it had been inevitable this time. He was standing above it all, surrounded by the reserve cavalry in their full battle array, with lances and guns, and war horses draped in colorful armor. European spectators, under the lead of his German adviser Johan Bruno Freiherr von Schnitzler, kept to themselves just behind the Emperor and his entourage. The Baron Schnitzler himself stood out the most among them. He was a middle age man with the thick-built body of a warrior. He wore a wide-brimmed straw hat, an unbuttoned khaki uniform-shirt, and Prussian cavalry boots. One thing that nobody could ignore about von Schnitzler was that he had lost an eye. He told people he had lost it during the war, and that was partially true, except that he had lost it in a fight at a tea house in Werder while visiting the town as part of an Ethiopian delegation to the Dervishes. Except for on formal occasions, he refused to wear an eye-patch, and the scarred hole was most often out in the open for all to see. Today was no exception.<br/><br/>Iyasu himself wore the padded robes of a cavalryman, with a full lion's mane crown, a thick embroidered cape with arms that draped down over his shoulders and to his waist, and a smaller lion's fur cape on his shoulders. A curved shotel hung at his left side, and the German Luger that Baron von Schnitzler had given to him as a gift was holstered at his right. The young Emperor held his two year old son Yohannes in his arms, taking care to keep him a safe distance from the smouldering remnant of the cigarette in his mouth. The young prince was wrapped in a white cloth, which was pinned to his body with a Lion-of-Judah brooch. <br/><br/>Yohannes' mother was Faaiso, one of Iyasu's favorite concubines, and she followed next to the Emperor, timidly waiting for the moment that Iyasu needed to pass their child to her. Faaiso was not a naturally timid girl; she was the daughter of a merchant from Harar, with a taste for western jewelry and food, but she was supremely uncomfortable on the battlefield. She was not like his grandfather's queen Taytu, who had followed his grandfather when he was on campaign, commanded troops at Adwa, and had made full use of her power in politics. For Faaiso, her place in court was about luxury and prestige, and that was fine for Iyasu. Taytu had been a meddler. She had not known her place in the world.<br/><br/>The rest of the Imperial party was made up of guards and loyal nobles. They wore loose fitting battle robes, lion's mane caps and turbans, and held fast to traditional spears, swords, and connicle shields, though many also had rifles strapped to their backs or pistols holstered at their sides.<br/><br/>That was how things stood when Iyasu's father and his Oromo cavalrymen came whooping up the hillside. The men, with lions-mane headdresses and bushy goat's skin capes, looked like warriors riding straight from the time of Zara Yaqob. Their flags were three banners in Ethiopian colors. The sound of their horses climbing the hill all at once reminded the Emperor of what it was like to stand on a rock next to the crashing waves of a sea stirred by a monsoon. It wasn't just a sound - it was pure power, and like war-drums before a battle, it moved him. It made him feel as if he was a lion waking up to a fresh kill.<br/><br/>Mikael of Wollo dismounted his horse. He was an old man now, and a thick layer of dust covered him so that he looked almost like an Egyptian mummy. Beneath his headdress, he wore a silk rag wrapped around his head, and he wore a shamma over his riding clothes. When the old man saw his Imperial son, he bowed.<br/><br/>""You have cleared the field?"" Iyasu asked.<br/><br/>""It is your majesty's field now."" Mikael rose. ""Your enemies are beaten.""<br/><br/>""We would very much like to tour the battlefield, and we wish for your to accompany us.""<br/><br/>His father responded with a curt nod. Iyasu's attendants understood what was being said, and they did not hesitate to bring the Emperor and his favorite companions their horses. The Emperor handed his son off to Faaiso and mounted a bay Dongola stallion. Faaiso, after passing Yohannes to a servant, climbed onto a small mare. The servant passed her son back to her. A number of nobles rode with them, as did a couple of Europeans and the Baron von Schnitzler. It was Iyasu, von Schnitzler, and Mikael who led the procession down the hill and toward the field, underneath the green, yellow, and red banners of the nation.<br/><br/>""This war is over now, friend Schnitzler."" Iyasu said to the gruff German. ""Will you still be staying in Abysinnia?""<br/><br/>""Yes."" the Baron replied. ""I haven't received new orders, and I have no reason to want to leave. There is more fighting to be done here anyway."" he hesitated for a moment. ""If it pleases your majesty to say, what is Ethiopia's plan?""<br/><br/>""We will ride east, to lend our aid to Mansuur ibn Ra'd.""<br/><br/>""Ethiopia will crush them, I am sure of it."" the Baron replied. They were passing onto the battlefield now. The battle stink was stronger here, and sulfur was joined by the reek of blood and rot. They were at the edge of the battle, where the first corpses lay. A few royalist men lingered here at the edge of the field, where they pillaged corpses and generally loitered about, having nothing to do for the moment but to wait until they were accounted for by their commanders. <br/><br/>""Very quickly I expect."" The Baron continued. ""Has your majesty decided what Ethiopia shall do next, when the countries of him and his allies are subdued? The King of the Germans humbly petitions that your majesty come to the aid of his servants laying siege to Kenya.""<br/><br/>""We have many issues to balance."" Iyasu replied.<br/><br/>""I have opinions about this."" Mikael of Wollo spoke. The three of them were ahead of the rest now, and Iyasu's father felt less conscious about royal manners. He spoke respectively, since they were still in the presence of the German, but he did not speak ceremoniously now. ""Britain is a powerful kingdom. It would be unwise to disturb her when we are still healing from our war.""<br/><br/>""Your majesty."" the German interjected. He spoke curtly - perhaps he dared to act too familiar, but both Iyasu and Mikael liked him, so they let the matter go. ""Britain is a powerful kingdom, but so is the Kingdom of Germany, and the Kingdom of Austria. And your people know how powerful are the Turks. These are the friends who will stand beside you in this war.""<br/><br/>Mikeal of Wollo did not responded, but he did not look pleased either. It was clear he still had reservations.<br/><br/>Mikael's uncertainty was not unwarranted. It was just as Mikael had been coming to adulthood that Emperor Tewodros infamously imprisoned a handful of Europeans, which had provoked the invasion of a small British force. It was in the camp of Queen Worqitu, an enemy of Tewodros who had helped the British in their campaign, that Mikael had saw how effective British power could be when it was unleashed.   <br/><br/>But when the German Baron compared him to the monarchs of Europe, it made Iyasu feel like a giant on top of his horse. He imagined himself marching proudly down the streets of London - a city he had never seen, and had no understanding of what it looked like, though he imagined it to look much like a lithograph of New York City that he had once seen on a cookie-tin for sale in Djibouti - at the head of one hundred thousand well-armed African soldiers. Adwa had been Menelik's victory, and Segale had been his father's. What great thing would he accomplish now that he reigned shoulder to shoulder among the mighty Kings of the Earth? <br/><br/>They passed by the trenches now. They were pitiful things, so shallow that a tall man would have to bend down to avoid being shot. Along their edges were scraps of wood and metal placed haphazardly in an attempt to slow down attackers. Perhaps they had done so, and perhaps some of Iyasu's dead would have been alive if not for that half-measure, but it hadn't been enough. The rebels had lost anyway.<br/><br/>Their corpses scattered a bloody field, mingled with the Royalist and Somali dead. He saw where a royalist body was tangled around an Islamic version of the Ethiopian flag - the green, yellow, and red, with a crescent in its center, and the <span class=""bb-i"">shadada</span> written in black across the bottom. It was one of several Islamic renditions of the national flag that Iyasu tacitly approved, though he was not yet bold enough to change the national flag to one of their designs. <br/><br/>Some of the royalist Ethiopians were searching the field for wounded enemies, and when they found them, they made their agony worse with forced castrations. The howls of these wounded men, castrated or not, struck out from the silence and the smoke. <br/><br/>To his credit, the German did not flinch at the castrations being performed nearby them. It was known that Europeans looked down on the behavior of Abyssinian warriors, but none of it seemed to effect von Schnitzler, who rode as firmly and comfortably on the battlefield as any of Iyasu's best nobles. That endeared the man to the Emperor.<br/><br/>They entered the city slowly, passing by the humble shacks and mud-huts that made up Dire Dawa. The town had taken minimal damage, though holes from stray bullets and the ashen pock-marks of misplaced bombs scarred a few parts of the otherwise pristine town. <br/><br/>It was where they entered the town that they met up with the small company of German ferengi soldiers that had participated in the battle. There were ten white men, with dusty mustaches and a tired look about their eyes, and they were accompanied by several dozen ink-black soldiers from the German colonies. All of them were dressed in khaki military uniforms, and they wore scrappy pith helmets with no pomp or decoration. They had been milling around nervously, watching their Ethiopian and Somali comrades as they went about their grisly work. When the Germans saw the Emperor ride in, they quickly came to attention.<br/><br/>The Baron von Schnitzler hopped down from his horse to inspect the men. They spoke in German for a period of time, and though Iyasu listened carefully, he did not understand what was being said. One of the white soldiers pointed to the sky above the town, where plumes of black smoke were rising. The Baron looked perplexed.<br/><br/>""Your people are gathering the wood from the rebel barricades and heaping them into bonfires."" he told the Emperor.<br/><br/>""It is Meskel."" Mikael of Wollo said, leaning on the horn of his saddle. ""The day of the finding of the true cross. They just wish to celebrate."" The holiday was an ancient Christian one, coinciding with the end of the rainy season and the beginning of planting. It was more important than the European 'Christmas' in Ethiopia, and was celebrated with great bonfires, which reenacted the bonfires used by Saint Helena to find the burial place of the True Cross. <br/><br/>The Baron looked toward the smoke uncertainly. ""It is dry. If they start too many fires, they might burn the town down.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Iyasu nodded. ""We would like to keep our city unburned. Let us stop them."" And so the German baron hopped back on top of his horse, and they rode off toward the city center. The Emperor felt his head swim with excitement at the thought of getting to shut down a Christian ritual.<br/><br/>The town orbited a small European-styled train station, in front of which was a large square with a single tree surrounded by a couple of acres of paving stones. The body of a lynched man hung from the tree. As they came closer, Iyasu recognized him as the customs-master Ydlibi - a Syrian merchant that Iyasu had befriended and given the lucrative position of Customs-Master despite the protests of his greedy nobles. This had been the work of the rebels, he knew, and his hatred for his enemies reached for new heights. <br/><br/>""Ho! Stop!"" the German Baron shouted, leaping from his horse again. He rushed at a number of Ethiopian warriors who were, as the German soldiers had said, piling wood scraps and flammable battlefield debris into growing bonfires. Iyasu and his party rode after the German. <br/><br/>To the surprise of everybody - the Emperor, his entourage, and the soldiers in the square - the German Baron grabbed one of the Ethiopians by his shamma, spun him around, and slapped him as if he was a misbehaving child. He than began shouting in a volatile mix of German and Amharic, about how the soldier needed discipline, and how he needed honor, and how they might burn down the very town they had fought so hard to take. The soldier reached instinctively for his weapon, but was bewildered by the presence of the Emperor, and the confusion of his entire circumstance. <br/><br/>Iyasu loved the spectacle, and he began to laugh. His laugh was contagious. It spread to his entourage, and then slowly among the soldiers that had gathered around. The laughing cooled the anger of von Schnitzler, and it caused the confused soldier whom he had slapped to become even more confused.<br/><br/>""Men, take these ridiculous piles of trash down, and put out these fires before they grow to strong."" Iyasu ordered. ""We cannot burn this town. This town is where the trains come in, and if it burns down, we will no longer get the sugar and tobacco that our ferengi friends like to sell to us.""<br/><br/>The spectacle had calmed any religious tensions that might have erupted then, and the men obeyed their Emperor's order without complaint. For Iyasu, it felt like he had scored a victory against Ethiopian Christianity. He felt confident of the future.  <br/><br/>And then the Emperor remembered. He pointed to the hanging body of Ydlibi and shouted. ""Somebody cut that man down. He has been a friend to us. He should not hang like that.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The Emperor and his father were led to a shed where vegetables were typically stored, but which now stored a captive rebel noble waiting for Imperial judgement. Most had ran, or had made sure to die in battle, while some had killed themselves. This meant that having even one captive was a personal victory for Iyasu. He was holding his son Yohannes now, parading the young child among the men so that they would know him as his heir. The boy did not make a noise. The sun was setting in the west, filling the lingering gunpowder haze with a thick red light. It was in this atmosphere that Iyasu entered the vegetable shed.<br/><br/>There were two men inside. The first was a dead man - Ras Gugsa Welle, who had once been married to the rebels chosen 'Queen' Zewditu, Iyasu's aunt. Now Gugsa was a corpse. He had committed suicide with a pistol shot to the head, leaving behind an ugly body. The top of his head was now a gaping hole of skull and flesh. His eyes protruded out from his face like swollen grapes drooping on the vine. All of his life's blood had drained from the hole in his skull, and from the bullet wound in his mouth, and it covered his clothes and left his skin an inhuman grey.<br/><br/>It was his son who sat in chains nearby him. Eba Gugsa was a pitiful captive. His clothes were torn, and he no longer had shoes. Both his wrists and his ankles were in chains. Who knows what he might have been thinking, sitting next to the ruined carcass of his own father. He did not betray those thoughts, but instead kept his head cast down, and his eyes focused on exactly nothing, with nothing but spilled vegetables for comfort. The room smelled like onions and blood.<br/><br/>Iyasu felt triumphant, standing with his heir in his arms above two defeated enemies. ""Have you anything to say in your defense?"" The Emperor asked the living prisoner.<br/><br/>""I ask for a pistol, so I may go the way of Tewodros, and my father. They are my heroes."" Eba replied. He did not look up.<br/><br/>Iyasu squatted so that him and Yohannes' faces were square with the beaten prisoner. <br/><br/>""You are a betrayer."" the Emperor hissed<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">You</span> are a betrayer."" Eba spat Iyasu's words back at him. The two men were eye to eye, with only a foot of space between their faces. Iyasu can smell the rancid breath of the prisoner, like a week-old stew baked in a dry-season sun. <br/><br/>""Kings cannot betray anyone but other kings."" Iyasu retorted. <br/><br/>Eba began to speak before Iyasu had finished his final word. ""You betrayed God."" The rebel said. ""That is why I am not a betrayer. Any man who follows you is a betrayer of God.""<br/><br/>""God has given me the victories."" Iyasu felt anger throbbing in his chest. He wanted to take the rebel by the head and smash it into the ground again and again until his skull shattered in a million bloodied pieces. <br/><br/>""That is the work of an evil."" Eba replied. ""There was an evil wind that day, at Segale. You know it. I do not know what witchcraft you used, but it will leave its mark on our country.""<br/><br/>Iyasu's anger was abated for a moment when he remembered the old 'Evil Wind' story. It was said that, as the rebel forces of Ras Tefari prepared to meet the royalist forces of Negus Mikael of Wollo at Segale, the wind shifted so fiercely that it caused superstitious men to blame the devil. Some even reported that the wind was powerful enough to cause canons to shift. <br/><br/>""That is debtera vomit. Smart men do not believe it."" Iyasu smiled. He felt vindictive now, and he pointed to the bloodied corpse of Eba's father. ""Did that man believe it? Was he so stupid.""<br/><br/>""He knew that you were up to evil things. He was a good man, and a better one than you!"" Eba thrust forward as far as his chains would allow, and for a moment Iyasu thought that he was lunging forward to bite at him, so he pulled back and stood up. Eba was still in chains, and he made a pathetic show of wallowing on the floor, but Iyasu still felt a burning nugget of shame for having been made stand up.<br/><br/>""That man?"" Iyasu thrust his finger like a spear, pointing angrily at the corpse. ""That man is nothing! That man is a dead man!""<br/><br/>Iyasu looked up the corpse and hunched back for a moment. War-like anger burned in his eyes. He thrust himself forward, like a viper preparing to strike, and he spat on the corpse with as much rage as he could muster. He heard chains rattle, and saw from the corner of his eye how Eba was fighting to break free.<br/><br/>""That is the man that he is."" the satisfied Emperor said. <br/><br/>-<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Dire Dawa: Modern Day.</span></span><br/><br/>The distant sound of heavy guns echoed from the Danakil. The war was coming.<br/><br/>Hassan's staff car stopped at the edge of Von Schnitzler Square, looking out at the old train station and the withered tree that was in front of it. The square was as busy as a bazaar on market day. However, it was not sellers and buyers who busied the square, but rather the logistical staff that kept the Ethiopian military in the field. Trucks were being unloaded, where staff officers paid the locals who had not fled to carry and organize boxes so that they could be inventoried, counted, and prepared for transit to wherever they were needed. Tents had been set up throughout the courtyard, housing the logistical staff, reserve officers, civilian aides, and even a few foreign war correspondents. All of the chaos orbited the silent, stoic statue of the historic German officer Von Schnitzler. <br/><br/>Von Schnitzler had fought with the Ethiopians during Iyasu's first civil war, and then in the African theatre of the Great War. Hassan knew that Von Schnitzler was partially responsible for the modernization of the Ethiopian military, but he had not survived to finish the project, having died by the bayonet of a British Askari during the Kenyan campaign in 1921. Now his bronze likeness stood like a planet, orbited by all of the tiny rocks of Ethiopia's military support. Hassan did not feel like just another tiny rock in the mix, however. He felt like a great moon; ascendant, and with a gravity all his own.<br/><br/>He stepped off the vehicle and squeaked through the square - or at least, it felt like squeaking, as the stuffy rubber bodysuit he wore under his uniform to protect himself from VX attack always seemed to rub together in awkward ways that made him hate it. The personnel made way for their commander, standing at attention as he walked by, and saluting whenever he was near to them. Hassan carried himself with as much pomp as he could muster, though the trip back from Harar had left him tired.<br/><br/>""Ras Hassan."" he heard a strange voice come from the crowd. The accent was foreign, but hard to place. A well-tanned ferengi journalist approached him; clean shaved, red-headed, and with an Italian flag pin on his lapel to distinguish him from other ferengi. ""Can I have a moment of your time.""<br/><br/>""You cannot. My time is with the war."" Hassan grunted.<br/><br/>The Italian didn't pay any mind. He followed Hassan cautiously, keep just out of immediate reach from Hassan's Palestinian guards. ""If you could say anything to Alfonso Sotelo, what would you say?""<br/><br/>""I would tell him that he will some day be made to eat shit, and he will feel shit ooze between his teeth. That day will come sooner than he expects.""<br/><br/>Hassan cut through a crowded part of the square, where he lost the ferengi journalist. He wanted no more distractions. He went inside the train station, and when the doors closed, the sound faded so quickly that it felt like depressurization on his skin.<br/><br/>The station was mostly empty. There were benches, and signs advertising the price of fare. The lights were off, but had been replaced by battery-operated lamps. Still, except for a few choice men, the room was entirely empty.<br/><br/>""Ras Hassan."" the familiar gravel voice of General Idrissa sounded in the awkward light. Where he stood, Idrissa eclipsed one of the lamps, but Hassan could recall the Hero of Ta'if's scar-pocked face and worn-down eyepatch in his memory. Those scars had mostly been bestowed by a distant shot-gun blast to the face during the Congo War. Idrissa was most well known for having held back a Saudi army with just a single regiment during the initial occupation of Hejaz, giving the rest of the overextended Ethiopian military time to organize themselves. Idrissa wasn't a great tactician, but he was an especially competent leader of men, and he had a reputation for leading from the front.<br/><br/>""How are you? How are your friends?"" Hassan greeted Idrissa like an equal.<br/><br/>""I have been preparing our defenses here. Though, I am told that you have something else in mind?""<br/><br/>It was then that Ras Rais, Hassan's commander in the highlands, joined them. Rais wore a well-starched uniform, and an expression that was just as starched. Though Hassan was above all of them according to the rules of the modernized officer corp, Rais took his Ras title as the suggestion that they were social equals, and he did not defer to Hassan unless he felt especially formal. <br/><br/>""You have read the reports about the bombing raids in the north?"" Hassan asked. All three men found seats among the simple one-plank benches. Hassan looked around at the mostly dark, empty station, and his mind shifted before the others had time to answer his first question. ""Didn't I order this building brought down?""<br/><br/>""It is on the list of things to do, but they are still tearing apart the tracks, and I took your orders to imply that the tracks were more important than the station."" Idrissa said. <br/><br/>Hassan nodded. ""The reports?""<br/><br/>""N'djamena isn't a tactically pertinent location. The Spanish bombing of the town does not matter."" Rais said simply. <br/><br/>""There were forces posted there."" Idrissa retorted. ""The reports said that the raid managed to destroy an ammunition dump being used by the Second Sefari, and a radar facility, which means we will not be able to detect future raids until Spanish bombers are much further into our territory.""<br/><br/>""There will be more bombing raids to come then."" Hassan nodded. ""Well, I have made up my mind already, before I walked into this building. We cannot have our forces in the west just sitting and waiting to be bombed. It is time we launch an invasion of our own. Idrissa, I want you to lead an invasion of the Ivory Coast.""<br/><br/>Idrissa blinked. ""My army is here. I don't think the western commanders will like that decision.""<br/><br/>""I have been commanding your army for some time now. All of the leaders out west have been angling for a promotion. They hate each other now. You have a reputation that will make it difficult for them to complain.""<br/><br/>""They will complain, but I will do what I am ordered."" Idrissa replied. ""When will I leave?""<br/><br/>""As soon as you can. I want this moving quickly.""<br/><br/>""This is a wise decision."" Rais added his opinion, though at this point it seemed unnecessary.<br/><br/>The far-off buzz of prop-fighters was heard overhead. The sound was faint, muted by the walls and roof of the old train station, but it was clear to all of them what it was. They stopped and listened for a moment, waiting for the pound of Anti-Aircraft guns, and when that sound never came, it told them that the aircraft was their own.<br/><br/>""If this war does not go our way, it is possible that this will be the last time the three of us are ever in a room together again."" Hassan said, uncomfortable words piercing a silence that seemed to grow once after he spoke them.<br/><br/>""That is for God to decide."" Rais replied. <br/><br/>""Communication will not be simple."" Hassan explained, turning to Rais now. ""I will try to convey orders, but if the Spanish break us here, we will have to consent to be split so that no half of the country simply falls into Spanish hands. We all have our place in this war. Ras Rais, if you have no orders from me, then it will be your job to preserve your army and keep the fight going in the highlands. That is your priority. Do not risk your forces if you do not see a golden opportunity. Survive. If you are subdued, that will mean leaving the highlands to their own defense, but so long as you are not subdued, the ferengi will be forced to stretch themselves over the countryside. That will mean more casualties for them, and it will mean that our people learn how to hate them.""<br/><br/>He turned to Idrissa. ""I am giving you written orders that confer to you command of the western theatre. Your place in this war will be to drive at the enemy's West African holdings. Do not play defensively. If Spain defeats you and gains control of the Congo, they will have won only a shallow victory. They will be divided by miles of rough terrain where loyalists can replay the old war with Belgium. On the other hand, any victory you win on Spanish territory will be a rusted nail driven straight into Sotelo's eye. If you find an oil well, do not try to hold it, do not try to extract from it. Burn it. Destroy all of their equipment. If you can, raise up the native peoples to fight for you.""<br/><br/>""And what will you do?"" Rais asked.<br/><br/>""Should Dire Dawa break, I will move south into Somalia and regroup. When I feel that it is time, I will try to relieve Ras Rais the best I can, unless the Spanish open another front in the south. In that case, I will fight them there.""<br/><br/>There was nothing else to say. The three men sat for a moment in silence, preparing their thoughts. The war hung over them like a sword tied to a string. But in the darkness, surrounded by the cavernous shell of the station, it seemed to Hassan that the war was somehow paused outside the doors, and that leaving would be to resume it. It was still out there, waiting. It was unavoidable.<br/><br/>Hassan stood up. ""Go in strength."" he said, shaking both commander's hands like a proud father farewelling his sons. Idrissa would take his command in the West, and Rais would prepare the armies of the highlands for their plunge into the war. Lonely footsteps echoed as they left.<br/><br/>Hassan went outside. The noise of war preparations washed over him again. He watched a wing of Ethiopian aircraft flying in a V toward the north, where Spain was advancing over the Danakil. In the days directly following Djibouti, the Ethiopian airforce had held the sky, outnumbering the unprepared Spanish fighters, but now time was working for the enemy. At first, with the help of their naval forces, the Spaniards had established air superiority over the Red Sea. With their landing zone secure, that aerial influence was spreading outward across the Danakil like a net, and the newer Spanish technology was turning the tide of the air war.<br/><br/>The same was true of the rolling skirmishes between Ethiopian and Spanish armor that had taken place on the salty desert flats. Hassan had deployed some of the precious Ethiopian armor to slow down the Spanish advance and buy him time. But again, only the few newer Chinese tanks in the Ethiopian arsenal could hold their ground, and the aging machines that made up the majority of his armored battalions were out-ranged, and generally outclassed, and their dueling had bought them very little but death. <br/><br/>""Take me to the tank grounds."" Hassan ordered his driver as he climbed into his boxy Polish staff car. The drive through Dire Dawa was slow. They were forced to wait for sluggish military trucks, and for the personnel that buzzed all around the town. There were civilians and soldiers alike lingering under the French iron-latice verandas of the shops that clung near to the road, and near the adobe walls of Dire Dawa's mostly abandoned homes. There were some houses that did not seem to be abandoned, from who's windows nervous faces peaked out and waited for the feared battle.<br/><br/>The activity did not die off once they were outside of the city. Here, north of town, was where the Spanish hammer would fall. His front line had reoccupied and re-dug old furrows that had once been the rebel trenches used during the Battle of Meskel almost seventy years earlier. These soldiers were his Somali regulars - men from Somalia, where military careers were the most sought after, and who were the most professional of his troops. They wore khaki fatigues and steel helmets, and were armed with the best assault rifles available to the Ethiopian military. He had them placed in front because he knew that, when they were forced to fall back into the mountains, they were the troops most likely to keep themselves together while doing so. The rest of his army were volunteers from all over Imperial Africa; men who had been trained, but who's training and weapons had been bought cheaply by the strained nation.<br/><br/>Hassan looked north, where the sound of distant artillery and reports of far away rifles told him how near the Spanish advance was. They had cleared the dreaded Danakil, through the horrible heat, harassed by not only Ethiopian tanks and aircraft, but also by angry Afari shiftas. Though the Afar were most often herdsmen and salt traders by profession, they lived a hard life, and it was an open secret that they were known to fight small tribal wars amongst each other from time to time. Now, one by one, the tribes of the Afar wastes were declaring their own individual wars against the ferengi invasion. The Spaniards had came down hard on the Afari. That was a mistake that would play into Ethiopian hands. For the people of the desert, this war was no longer a mere obligation. It was a blood feud, and Spain was going to pay its fair share.<br/><br/>Hassan thought of his own artillery, nestled in the mountains between Dire Dawa and Harar. The rest of the war would be a game of hide-and-seek for his guns. They would be a tool in his plan to force Spain to fight for every mountain, and every river, and every amba in the rough Ethiopian nation. Wherever his artillerymen could move their guns, that would be a new place from which to punish Spain, and the more creative they got about it the more effective they could be. Hassan hoped it would be a war of one thousand Tewodroses, moving one thousand Sevastpools up one thousand Magdalas. <br/><br/>The car came to a halt beneath the shadow of a small mountain. He had put the bulk of his armored divisions here, placing the mountain between them and the Spanish as to shield them from enemy artillery until the time was right to deploy them. This would be the best time in the war for him to deploy the haphazard armored units of the Ethiopian military, before the war took to the rough terrain of the highlands. <br/><br/>Ethiopia's armor was a mixed bag. There were the shiny Chinese Tei Gui's, who would be the sharp edge of the blade for his armored division. They were sturdy built, with no exposed creases despite the three hundred sixty degree turret mounted on the top. Their turrets had long-barreled cannons, and anti-personnel guns mounted on the top of their turrets. <br/><br/>But these only made up a minority of the Ethiopian tanks. They were joined by ugly Polish beasts from the earlier part of the century, with rough asymmetrical outlines and sharp-cornered turrets. There were also a few that had no turrets at all, and instead relied on the ability to fire forward. The older models had rivets on the outside of solid steel plates. These were supplemented by a small number of stubby french models from just after the Great War.<br/><br/>Alongside the heavy tanks were a number of armored cars. Some were nothing more than ""Armenian Tanks""; a term that had come to designate civilian trucks with armor awkwardly welded onto them. Others were half-tracks, or manufactured armored trucks. Together, alongside the battle tanks, the Ethiopian armor in the field numbered near to 600 vehicle. Hassan felt powerful surrounded by so many great monsters of battle. But he was not confident of victory. <br/><br/></div>"

The smell of refrigerant hung like an incense that lingered in the cooled air. On the far-side of the wall stood an entire bank of old, worn wooden boxes stacked and arranged into drawers. The technician grumbled low to himself as he reached out for the handle of one the drawers and yanked it open. The tearing roar of wood grinding on wood exploded in the still air of the room as Dong Wu's body was pulled from where it rested.<br/><br/>Sun Chu took up a position alongside the other man, a younger lean individual. His dishpan of a face immediately drained of blood as he looked down at the mangled corpse of Dong Wu.<br/><br/>“There's maybe over a half-dozen causes of death on his body.” the technician grumbled, “I didn't really need to take an effort.”<br/><br/>“I can tell.” Sun Chu commented, he himself was feeling a little ghastly looking down at the corpse.<br/><br/>Laying sprawled in the tiny confines of the wooden drawer box Dong Wu lay unexposed, his eyes shut. But it wasn't the simply pale nature of being dead that had sapped either men's vigor looking down at him. But rather the totality of the devastation raked across his body.<br/><br/>Clear burns and lacerations scarred his chest in a massive web-pattern. Deep cuts in the burned flesh tore clear through into the rib-cage where pearly white bone shone through in the dim incandescent lighting. His face was half peeled back by something, revealing the formless remains of the underlying muscle structure and bone. A sunken socket suggested that he had perhaps lost an eye. Further, there was a wide hole in his stomach only exacerbated by the tight skin from where it had been sewn up by the autopsy cuts, the stitching only just barely held it close. An entire leg was almost entirely torn off.<br/><br/>“You listened to the chief's briefing.” the mortician said, “So I'll let you two at him.” he turned and walked out. His deep dry tone held that he wasn't particularly pleased. As he left through the door it left Chu thinking that the man wanted to let the entire thing rest. But as the door shut he let it be.<br/><br/>“You seen anything like this?” Chu asked his partner.<br/><br/>“Only in pictures from the books about U731.” the younger man remarked full of ghastly terror, “I don't think there's been anything nearly this severe in a long time.”<br/><br/>Chu nodded. The young man was Wu Jing-Shen, an academic boy the national command recruited in for forensic duty. A quick peak into his background and nothing more was enough for Chu to surmise that though he performed well academically, he had little actual field experience. This was them breaking him in. Perhaps in the worse way possible.<br/><br/>He looked up at him, he was as pale as paper.<br/><br/>“So let's get a look at him so we have something to write back.” Chu remarked coldly, putting his case over top the casket and cracking it open. He pulled out from the neatly organized papers a clipboard and a stack of notepapers. “Go on.” he ordered, clicking out the tip of his pen.<br/><br/>Jing-Shen shot an apprehensive look up at him. He knew how to approach, but the repulsed sickly look on his face spoke all the words needed. He simply did not want to. Chu glowered at him from over the ready notepad, impatiently waving his hand. “Go on.” he croaked.<br/><br/>Jing-Shen sandwiched his lips together and leaned over the box. Sighing he looked back up in a low voice, “Hold on.” he requested, “I need to get a gurney.”<br/><br/>“That would be a good idea.” chuckled Chu as Jing-Shen went to the gurneys. The wheels of one rattled across the porcelain tiles of the floor as he pulled it aside and swung it into position. And with a pop he pulled the face off the drawer and had the body pulled out onto the table. He moved it over into the light with a disdainful robotic swing.<br/><br/>“Ok...” he sighed, “Our subject is clearly male. Mid to late forties.” he began.<br/><br/>“We know who our subject is.” Chu remarked bitterly, “We can skip those details.”<br/><br/>“Right, right.” Jing-Shen shook, “Well, Dong Wu has suffered considerable burns across seventy-five percent of his body. I am counting...” he paused as he leaned over the corpse and with a pen pulled from his pocket began counting the individual open wounds across his body, “eighty individual and unique penetration wounds. This is consistent I guess to municipal reports and pieces of shrapnel extracted from his body. Many on the right-side.”<br/><br/>“Face?” Chu asked, as he scribbled the last notes down.<br/><br/>“A large avulsion injury covers much of his lower face between cheek and chin on the right-side. Victim has suffered severe trauma to the eye comparable to a bomb blast or bullet-related injury. I can also see indications of burns.”<br/><br/>“The limbs?”<br/><br/>“Hand and arms on the right side are burned. The left leg is mostly severed.” he cringed, looking away.<br/><br/>“How much so?” Chu chided.<br/><br/>“I- uh... Seventy-five percent.”<br/><br/>Chu nodded and he added them to his notes.<br/><br/>“I'd say that these are all consistent to a bomb-related injury.” Jing-Shen concluded, “It's a.. clear cut case of one.” he added uncomfortably, “The burns suggest that the device may have perhaps even been filled with an accelerant or incendiary compound. But the severity of the open wounds would have meant the explosive was not a fire-bomb but that the nature of its explosion did produce a fire-ball.”<br/><br/>Sun Chu nodded. “If possible do you think any of the accelerant's residue remains on his skin?”<br/><br/>“Most likely, why?”<br/><br/>“Because I want a swab off his chest, a skin sample, and a cut of hair. We're going to send these to Beijing to be analyzed and get an idea on what was used in the explosion.”<br/><br/>“Right.” conceded Jing-Shen conceded, looking for anything he could use to take and package the samples, “Can I ask a question though, sir?”<br/><br/>“What is it?” Chu looked up.<br/><br/>“Why is it we're doing this investigation? Is Nanjing's department that bad?” he asked.<br/><br/>“No, hardly. We're just hear because Beijing cares. That's all.” responded Sun Chu, “If Beijing cares then it doesn't blow up in our faces. Pardon the pun.”<br/><br/>Hesitating, Jing-Shen looked down at the corpse on the table, “Should we open him up?” he asked nauseously.<br/><br/>“To confirm their reports, yes. Get the scissors.” Chu ordered.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Beijing</div><br/><br/>Walls covered in wood paneling, angled and twisted so as to not great a flat surface, then again hung over in rugs and throw-away carpeting it was not the most impressive of radio studios. An office no bigger than a closet with microphones and equipment packed tight. A darkened window on one wall shone the silhouettes of waiting engineers as they hung over the broadcasting controls for China' national radio system. They with the broadcaster sat waiting, and bored out of their skulls. In an ashtray on the table a cigarette lay smoldering with over two dozen of its deflated counterparts. Drumming his fingers, the broadcaster turned his wrist to check his watch. 12:32, Auyi was late.<br/><br/>In the course of campaigns he had interviewed over a dozen of the candidates vying for Hou Sai Tang's office. The good Grand Secretary had already abandoned Beijing, muting his presence from the political talk box of the country. Now what had once been either direct meetings with him or a liaison had turned into a more difficult sprawl of finding people to fill the mid-afternoon time-clock. And with a national campaign under-way the establishment of the NPN was not particularly impressed with interviews with governors and congressmen, even if for ten minutes.<br/><br/>But Auyi was still late, and they need material to be ready at the end of the hour. He Kang was no friend to patience either.<br/><br/>With an otherwise dismissive appearance, Kang looked like something of a younger and heavier imperial Mandarin, down to the untidy beard on his chin. Smoke stained fingers tapped and traced the lines in the wood of the table as he licked his yellowing teeth. And restless from the night before he rung his amber red eyes with a subtle dark bags. He wasn't a face for the camera, ever. But his voice was vanilla-bean radio.<br/><br/>His inattentive waiting was soon however snapped alert when the studio doors opened and in stepped Auyi. Kang quickly threw aside his impatience like a snake and shot to his feet and politely bowed to his visitor. “Comrade Zhang!” he said with a smile, “A pleasure to see you.”<br/><br/>“Comrade He.” cordially greeted Auyi as he returned the favor. The minister-going-for-grand-secretary wasn't far from his pampered campaign trail appearance. His face glowed with a fatherly health and his black hair combed back and delicately brushed. His cloud-white suit shone in a more bleached white than anything else in the room then.<br/><br/>“I'm afraid we may not have so much time on introductions and formalities.” Kang noted uncomfortably, “So, please: take a seat and we can begin.”<br/><br/>“I wouldn't worry much,” smiled Auyi as he pulled back his chair from the center table, “this isn't my first radio interview appereance.”<br/><br/>“As I'm sure.” Kang He noted, as he gave a thumbs up to the engineers to being. A soft hum and static crackling filled the room, summoning with it the sound of a sudden orchestral sting marking the beginning of Kang He's personal radio dominion.<br/><br/>“Good afternoon comrades!” He cheered into the recording microphone, “Today is July 16th, 1980, and we have for today's slot an interview with popular contender for the office of Grand Secretary Zhang Auyi.”<br/><br/>The recordings being all prerecorded would no doubt be cleaned up later. If He or his engineers felt that he had flubbed or drew an error at any point that it would be no surprise magic if they made a scrubbing fix to the tapes before being passed to editing and final airing. Auyi was acquainted with the process, and he nodded and smiled along as Kang He went through the formalities with the same sort of tacky vigor as a back-street hawker.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” He Kang said, pointing to Auyi and making the signal he was now addressing him, “Throughout your campaign you have made promises and indications to commit to a nationalized reformation of the economic structure to China. Through 'liberalizing the direction and flow of manufacture and growth' you have campaigned on a social principle of opening the doors of the Chinese economy. Your rivals have at many times opposed your sentiments, decrying it as an opposition to the classless society. You of course defend your spot, how come?”<br/><br/>“Well, brother He,” Auyi started, “it's simply that the claims of these individuals is a false and invalid fear. The programs I have called for on the road is not the lowering the barriers to social and economic equality as exist in the present society. Nor will they strip our people of their liberties and freedoms. Verily, it will perhaps give many of our workers the opportunity to be much more. Not only within the nation but the international community as a whole.”<br/><br/>“Fellow minister Mang Xhu has cited your proposals as being opening the gates to the western evils of corporate greed and megalomaniac materialism that will come at the expense of the people's freedom and identity. But clearly you two don't see the same risks?”<br/><br/>“Of course.” Auyi laughed, smiling wide. It would have been a humored and honest beaming grin for the cameras. But there were none of those present in the tiny room. “The conditions that enabled the west to abuse the Chinese people was the weakness of the Qing imperialists. They failed to hold the West accountable for its greed and even itself benefited greatly from western abuses, so were unwilling to act.<br/><br/>“In the modern era, while I would be open to working and coordinating with the wider global economy it will not be throwing the gates so wide they can make off with our homes and our monuments. They will not strip the nation clean for only their benefit. My government will still be tough on western abuses. Those who wish to do business in China should only recruit and use Chinese resources and persons. They will undergo the same principles of the Chinese: taxes, tariffs.<br/><br/>“The foreign cooperative will be that: cooperation. Not favoring western forces and creating an unfair competition as Mang Xhu so fears. We Chinese will still benefit to better the national quality of our independence and equality.”<br/><br/>“What then will be done with the rewards from  the work with the outside world?”<br/><br/>“Namely, we shall use the resources and revenues they will make for China to boost the development and inequities suffered in inland China. While we as a nation have healed over the scars of our war for liberation the sores remain. The treatment of these sores should be attended to.<br/><br/>“As something to physically observe, I promise to electrify inner China. The provinces of the interior are still today mostly without electrical power as enjoyed here in the east. And while we can not blame Hou Sai Tang as being a poor or inadequate uncle to all Chinese, we must admit that we have only had so much resources for ourselves as we exert ourselves to strive for our own prolonged liberation: the equalizing and negating of Japanese oppression, the removal of European influence in Asia. Now these missions are done, we are at a crossroads.<br/><br/>“As I've warned, we can falter in darkness, or step ahead in the light and claim the world torch for the Chinese people. Light the true path through our enlightenment and bounty.”<br/><br/>“With the war in Africa however, some are perhaps questioning this outlook. Saying: if we open up, we could become as the pan-African Empire: invaded and abused by some other greedy nation.”<br/><br/>“Impossible.” Auyi denounced, “While I am adverse to war, the actions of the Spanish are damnable and the international community will make a stern lesson of the Spanish. As we would any invader who attacks us.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tyumen</div><br/><br/>“Mail call.” Wi Hui declared in that low apathetic tone of voice of his. Tsung was startled from his nap as a brick of bound letters smacked the table ahead of him. The cloth of sleep was pulled aside with the dusty puff of dusty air when the bound stack hit the dusty cafe table. It had been so long since anything happened to them that he was beginning to forget he was supposed to be doing anything. He had almost grown accustomed to the slothful laziness that came with waiting for logistics to deliver anything.<br/><br/>“It looks like you got plenty of fans.” Hui remarked stiffly as he thumbed through the letters in his hands and separated the few for him and the few for Lin. The gunner gave Hui an enamored and humored smile before she started dragging her thumb across the envelope's mouth, tearing it open.<br/><br/>For the best several hours the crew had hold up in a cafe in the center of town, keeping out of the way of the daily Russian life and the military police that patrolled the streets. The windows had been clean, like the rest of the city all the light damage from the battle that had torn the locals' homes upside down were cleaned aside and electricity was restored, if only in brief spurts.<br/><br/>Alongside the door of the establishment several sheets of plywood had been lain up against the wall to patch where a rocket had entered; the remains of its crater still scarred the twisted wooden floors where several two-by-fours had been thrown down to build a bridge over the sharp short gap in the floorboards there. The activity of the street and the work of the masons outside rolled through the cracks and windows and walls with a muffled hum.<br/><br/>At the bar several Chinese Military Policemen and their Siberian counterparts shared counter-space in their off-hours with a handful of local seniors who congregated themselves at the far side. They bided their anxiety through cups of tea and bowls of okroshka. Their military dining counterparts were probably for the most part avoiding tasteless rations with whatever they could get their hands on.<br/><br/>Tsung simply sat and looked down at the letters. From the stack it looked as if there was a significant backlog of material that had failed to reach him. He picked it up and turned the canvas-rope bound lump in his hands and found out way. The entire thing was stamped to have had jumped between areas of operation across the front. Someone got them lost before they figured it out.<br/><br/>“Someone must really miss you back home.” Lin commented as she unfolded a yellowed piece of paper.<br/><br/>“Or someone got them lost.” he corrected stunned. He wondered where to start and just decided to surrender to choosing a side and starting there. He fumbled numbly with the tight knot in the string that bound them together.<br/><br/>“Oh how adorable, my brother's getting married.” cheered Lin as she read over her letter from home, “They're sad I can't be there, wish me well, but it's still the bitch from the other side of town so I don't care.”<br/><br/>“Sounds like an exciting relationship.” Hui commented as he leaned against a wall and held up his own letter.<br/><br/>“Yea, she thought she was better than me because her tits were bigger when we were sixteen. But now I shoot a big gun.”<br/><br/>“Never expected to hear a woman ever say that.” Hui laughed.<br/><br/>“Well you did.”<br/><br/>With a thump Tsung had released the knot and the string shot open, spilling its contents onto the table. A dozen letters fluttered onto the scratch wood surface along with a small wooden box. “A gift!” Lin exclaimed, excitedly.<br/><br/>Somehow it left a part of him disheartened that he didn't have nearly so many letters. But on the other hands he was relieved that he didn't. So it wasn't all garbage. “So what'd you get?” Hui asked.<br/><br/>Tsung looked up at him, confused. “The box, what'd you get?” he repeated.<br/><br/>“I don't know.” replied Tsung.<br/><br/>Hui rolled his eyes. “Well, you got to open it first.” he chided.<br/><br/>“I -uh...” he started. He wondered what it was. But also wondered what it could be. He reached out for the wooden gift box and held it in his hands. What weight there was in it wasn't much, mostly in the rough dry wood. He searched it with his fingers, looking for somewhere to start, but all corners were nailed shut.<br/><br/>But it hardly mattered the moment sirens started screaming outside. All heads turned tensely for the windows. The old men sat up from their stools knowingly and with shaky arms clung to the counter. The cafe owner ran around the counter and started shuffling them to a back room.<br/><br/>“Air raid!” an MP shouted as he pounced from his stool. He ran for the door with half a loaf of flat bread clenched between his teeth and his partners ran out with him. In the distance as the doors opened the sounds of gun fire echoed off of the street. The masons repairing the wall also squeezed in with pale faces passed the police.<br/><br/>“Shit, what's going on?” Hui complained as he went for the door to peak. What there was left in the moment of expectation had burned up as Tsung's companions forgot the gift that had came from the mail and looked out the door. Tsung's weight fell off his body as he numbly scooped up what had come to him and stuffed them into the pockets of his uniform until they bulged awkwardly from his chest. A beating hurrying worry swam in his veins, during blood to cold iodine.<br/><br/>There were shouts. Some confused, some scarred, others obviously angry. The military police that had dashed out into the street were swinging their batons, ushering the few on the streets back inside as they searched the skies. Tsung couldn't see the skies, he didn't know what to expect. It made him anxious. But there was little comfort no doubt in knowing that the men outside had any idea what they were looking for either; because they probably didn't.<br/><br/>So he sat at that cafe table, afraid of the unseen as he looked out the window. The early afternoon light was soft. A deception of what was happening now. He waited, wondering, fearing some great cataclysm. For bombs to drop from the skies and the city leveled to dust.<br/><br/>But they were behind the lines? How could some great bomber wing reach so far beyond where Huei Wen commanded from? Perhaps it was a Russian version of those fabled aircraft that could move at blistering speeds never before felt.<br/><br/>Or perhaps it had just gone unseen.<br/><br/>The asphalt and cement popped skyward as fire from aerial cannons strafed down the street. He watched with sudden frozen emotion as the dust and dirt shot into the air like spikes driven through the earth until they struck one of the Chinese policemen hurrying civilians from the street. Ribbons of blood and bone tore themselves from his body as bullets speared is torso and gut and forced him to the ground. He fell from view in the window, sprawling against the street as the ribbon of gunfire continued to tear downwards.<br/><br/>Tsung could hear it now. The groaning moan of a propeller engine strafing the warm summers air. He shuddered and recoiled back as he heard the distant sound of one coming in on the distance, and froze at the tearing reports of gunfire as men on the ground fired up at the offending airplane. There was a crashing noise, and then an explosion in the street as a plume of fire and smoke burst down the road and punched the yet remaining glass in the cafe inward. Tsung felt the puff of hot expanding air shove itself into him as the dark fiery explosion flowered open. His ears went silent, and he fell to the floor at the force of the explosion. He must have only been half sitting, he wondered as he fell: but he didn't know anymore.<br/><br/>He hit the dusty ground but was not knocked out cold. Instead a shooting pain exploded across his chest as the box he had slid into his uniform coat bumped into his ribs and cracked on impact. He grimaced against the sudden shooting pain on his left breast and recoiled against it. He wondered if it had cut him, he panicked over whether or not he was bleeding. There was a sudden intense fear that a piece of wood had thrust itself between his ribs, and it was as powerful as the light of the sun in his eyes. The worry was ever present.<br/><br/>Hearing returned to his ears, and the greater wider world was reopened to him. There was immediate shouting. The city had gone silent except for that. Orders and cries for status could be heard through the door and broken window.<br/><br/>“TSUNG!?” he heard Lin cry out.<br/><br/>“Dammit, are you alright?” Hui asked, leaning over him. Tsung turned over and saw his two crew mates leaning over him, eyes wide. They were safe for all but a few minor scratches and soot and dirt on their skin.<br/><br/>“I-” he started, but turning over to meet them shot a spike of pain into his side. He cringed against it and said no more.<br/><br/>“Help me get him up.” a concerned Tsung called out, wrapping his arms under his shoulders and hoisting him up. Lin did the same with his legs and carried him out into the street. The smell of burning petrol was strong, and the sky was clear. He lay stunned in their arms staring up into the sky.<br/><br/>“We need an ambulan-” Lin started.<br/><br/>“It's on its way!” one of the policemen responded.<br/><br/>_______________________<br/><br/>The hospital was probably the last place Tsung thought he'd find himself again. Leaning in a metal frame chair he found himself propped against Hui's shoulders as he nursed the side of his body that had landed on the box. It was sore, burning, and all manners of pain all at once. But he wasn't unconscious or in shock at the least. And he counted those stars as he waited for one of the bustling medics of field surgeons to turn to him.<br/><br/>In the wake of the bombing raid the field hospital had exploded and injuries more immediately serious than his were being turned and shuffled around in the lobby of the re-purposed hotel at the edge of the city. Evidently in the course of the brief assault the airplanes that had sought to skirmish with Huei Wen's rear van managed to destroy the logical roads, and by happenstance the ambulance – more a truck – had been routed to the far outskirts with a load of the seriously wounded.<br/><br/>There were others too, from other places. The one had managed to raid on the streets with its machine guns to disrupt and disorient. But the other in dropping its bombs had injured close to a dozen and a house in its crash.<br/><br/>Lin hovered nearby, somewhere in the chaos having been Shanghai'd into helping move things around. Tsung would make fleeting glimpses of her as she ran with a team of medics across the lobby to carry boxes of medical supplies.<br/><br/>As the initial startled hustling died down, and the most severe patients were established in their beds did a doctor approach Tsung. “Comrade.” he greeted with a polite nod, “Sorry for the weight.” he apologized.<br/><br/>Tsung nodded and sat up, flinching at the sharp pain in his side. “I fell on something.” he commented grimly.<br/><br/>“Well you haven't lost a limb so I'm not afraid for you. Just raise your uniform for a moment.” he asked with a dismissive raise of his hand. Stiffly, he pulled his uniform coat from his belt.<br/><br/>The side of his chest was a mess of a bruise. Dark purple splotches mired his pale yellow skin. There was a small cut.<br/><br/>The doctor mumbled to himself as he knelt down in front of Tsung and put his cold hands on his ribs, which flexed reflexively at his icy touch. Gently he pushed around his bruised side and searched the wound. Nodding as he prodded along.<br/><br/>“You probably didn't break anything.” he commented finally, “Are you having problems breathing?”<br/><br/>“Ah... Not really.” mumbled Tsung, lowering his uniform.<br/><br/>“Then for sure you didn't break any ribs. You're not going to win any metals for it but if you're going to be in the field for the next couple days I'd try to keep it bandaged up.” he grunted with a apathetic pass of his hands, “Maybe you cracked a rib, but it shouldn't be a problem unless it starts hurting to breath. Understand?”<br/><br/>“Yes, sir.”<br/><br/>“Fine, my prescription is to take a few shots of vodka at night. That's all for now.” began the doctor as he turned away. Stopping he turned and asked: “What'd you fall on, by the way?”<br/><br/>“His mail.” Hui laughed, pulling the now crumpled wooden package from his own pockets and holding it out, “I guess he slipped it in his jacket when the plane came in.”<br/><br/>The doctor snorted out a dry laugh, “I've seen soldiers sprain their ankles to get out of patrol, but I don't think anyone's thrown themselves on their mail.” he let slip a flickering bully smile that disappeared as soon as it came in, “Well your box is open now kid, you can head back to quarters.” he laughed, waving Tsung away and off his chair, “Good bye.”<br/><br/>Without a word of additional ceremony, the doctor disappeared into the hotel-turned hospital. The lobby hung in a still silence. By now outside the light had dimmed and shifted into the late evening oranges and golden yellows. “You want your gift back?” Hui asked, handing the cracked box to Tsung.<br/><br/>“Ah- yeah...” Tsung replied uncomfortably, taking the cracked wooden box in his hands.<br/><br/>“I'm going to go and try and find something to eat. Lin will catch up later. You want to join me?” the loader asked.<br/><br/>“N- oh, ah. I'll just catch up with you in a bit.” uncomfortably replied Tsung as he brushed his hand across the package. Tufts of straw and dry grass were sticking out from the cracks and gaps left in the corners of the package. The corners of another letter was sticking out through one.<br/><br/>“Fine by me.” Hui shrugged, turning to the doors, “I'll see you later.”<br/><br/>“Ya... You too.” Tsung said back to him, watching him head out the doors. The barred glass swung closed behind him as he walked off into the street.<br/><br/>Tsung hung back waiting. The lobby was quiet, save for distant murmurs down the hall. Evidently Lin's shanghai'd service was going to last longer than expected. But still he waited, holding that little box in his lap.<br/><br/>When the deadened silence continued and the light darkened, he concluded nothing was going to change. Sitting up he left for the door. The glass doors swung open softly, and slammed with an echo as he stepped out onto the street.<br/><br/>A cool summer's night's air had come to fall over Tyumen as he walked ahead. Flickering lights illuminated the street, whether it be from weakly connected street-lights or a few scattered lanterns lighting still occupied houses. There was too a peaceful silence that held a gentle grip over the city. The only sounds the distant noises of engines and airplanes that leaked through the fingers like water from a slow faucet.<br/><br/>And in his hands the box was still.<br/><br/>It hurt his side to think about it. But it wasn't without reason, the fall onto it had bruised and cut him. Though not seriously. All the same it was a thought that kept a wound open. Yet he couldn't throw it away. Walking down the street the least he could do with it was open it.<br/><br/>In the darkening light of late evening he searched the cracks and broken edges with his fingers, looking for purchase which to dig his fingers into. Upon finding it, he pulled the small wooden panels apart. What didn't break was pried from the brads that held it together until packing straw fell out. With the package pried open enough, he stuck his hand in and produced a small letter, and a small white cotton goat.<br/><br/>He look down at the small pillow doll in his hand. It was no bigger than his palm, and simple in its design. Two pairs of beady black eyes starred out from the sides of its head and two flaps of cut rag became its ears. It warmed him, and he felt he knew it was from. As he walked he opened the folded letter. Holding it close to his face he squinted to make out the dashed, chicken-scratch writing on it.<br/><br/>“Dear, cousin.” it began with shaky almost child-like sweeps of a pen, “None of us have heard much from you since you left from Russia. We worry a lot for you. Things are well at home and I hear your brother is heading to the coast! Something about working at a factory.<br/><br/>“Nothing much has changed. We keep reading the news, looking for where you might be. Maybe you'll turn up in an interview. We keep looking.<br/><br/>“Auntie's worried that you haven't responded. But uncle thinks you just haven't gotten the letters. He says delivery can be messy. Do write back when you get our letters.<br/><br/>“I also made you this goat. It was your favorite: Po.<br/><br/>“Write back,<br/>Ju.”<br/><br/>It lit a candle in his heart. Feeling a little bit of humanity in him he turned his attention back to the goat as he kept moving, cutting through the empty yard of an abandoned house. Holding the soft feathery doll in the palm of his hand brought him back to home. And the devilish goat Po that'd stand at his open window and at times try to eat the curtains.<br/><br/>In Russia he realized he had been afraid. Afraid for so long it had become normal. And with a piece of home in his hand a little bit of that fear had subsided. It had washed away and there was a feeling of comfort. For what it meant by the thoughtfulness, the goat was a symbol of home.<br/><br/>However, past the goat he did not see the open cellar door ahead of him, and everything stopped as he felt the comforting safety of nothing underfoot rush up to him. With a preemptive shout his breath left him before he could hit the stares. Clumsily he reached for the edge but only just barely wrapped his fingers around rough stone that briefly stopped his drop before he dropped the rest of the way. With a loud 'thump' his drop ended with a shot of lightning through his ass as he came to a stop on wooden stairs. The goat doll tumbled down after him, bouncing off of his shoulders and landed softly on the dust floor below.<br/><br/>Cursing and hissing through clenched teeth he rolled off his rump, rubbing the burning sore left on his tail bone. With a groan he leaned up, and reached down for the doll as foot steps approached him.<br/><br/>He froze as they stopped just shy of him, fingers just above the body of the goal doll, and hand gingerly nursing where he had fell. He looked up to see a pair of black boots before his nose and worn over-patched pants. Leaning up he found the holstered weapon and the crossed arms. A ghostly light of a lantern lit the room and threw long shadows across the man's heavy and cavernous face.<br/><br/>“You, I remember you.” he grumbled with a deep Russian voice. His accent rolled thick across his tongue, as heavy as his face was broad.<br/><br/>“I... Ah- I don't remember you.” Tsung replied meekly. The comfort was gone now and there was fear again. To have it back was like being plunged into a cold pond.<br/><br/>The man nodded. Heavy blue eyes checked Tsung up and down, then finally looked down at the goat on the ground. He bent over, and picked it up off the wet stone. “This is yours.” he said with a gruff forceful voice.<br/><br/>Tsung's fear turned into puzzlement. Where had he seen him before? Apprehensively he reached for the gift from home. He tucked it protectively into his uniform pockets. Nervously and fidgeting he turned to the stares, “I'll... Just ah- go...”<br/><br/>“Don't you want a drink?” the man asked.<br/><br/>Tsung froze, bewildered. He stammered. “Ah...”<br/><br/>Gesturing, the man invited him into the house's cellar. Tsung approached reproachfully, feeling utterly naked without any sort of weapon on him. Pushing aside a rough wooden door, the man opened up a room lit warmly by the glow of electrical lanterns, and the familiar smells of booze. He recognized immediately what was going on as he smelled the smells of yeast and malted hops.<br/><br/>“Oh... Omsk...” he quivered. It had been the only time he had ever been in a bar.<br/><br/>“Now do you remember?” the guard spoke. He had been the muscle the German had escort Tsung out when he went on his way. He nodded.<br/><br/>“Friend, we have a guest here!” he called out, in the far corner of the room stacks of wooden crates had created a low lying bar. Behind which stood the overweight bear of a proprietor. He thickly whiskered face looked up from packing bottles of alcohol into wooden milk-crates, cosigning the stock away to be moved.<br/><br/>The German looked annoyed at first, he looked up at the two with thick sausage hands wringing tight over deep green bottles of vodka or gin. But seemed to soften as he saw Tsung. “Ah! A return customer!” her cheered happily. The speed of which his emotions melted from one to another was astounding, and to watch his fat rolling face move from one to another was like beholding a ghost.<br/><br/>“Um, good evening.” he bowed, “I was just walking by...” he started.<br/><br/>“Were you injured?” the German asked, reversing his packing as he started laying bottles out on the make-shift bar counter.<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” Tsung recoiled, a little at a loss for polite words or response.<br/><br/>“I know full well there's a Chinese hospital just two blocks down the street,” the German responded, “So: were you hurt at all?”<br/><br/>“I- no.” he replied nervously, “But I did take a fall...” he admitted.<br/><br/>“Then that is no surprise, it is how you found me the last time!” laughed The German, “It seems Russians can smell me out, and some Chinese just stumble on me. Come, sit down. Don't look like a nervous school boy. You're as much a man as he or my guard.” he invited. “So do you have money commie-boy?”<br/><br/>Tsung gave the man behind the counter a blank stare. “No I do not.” he said in a droning voice, that paycheck was left behind in his quarters. But he had hardly a use for using it.<br/><br/>The barman shrugged indifferently, “We can settle in the future, I am feeling generous.” he smiled, “Can I have a name?”<br/><br/>“A name?”<br/><br/>“For a tab.”<br/><br/>“A tab?” he asked him, lost in communication.<br/><br/>“So I know how much you paid and when, when you find my next time you can clear that tab.” the barman explained, “Do you understand?”<br/><br/>Tsung gave the German a dull, misty eyes expression. He shrugged and nodded like a schoolchild not knowing the answer, but simply wanting to move along. “I do.”<br/><br/>The German nodded patiently, “So, that name?”<br/><br/>Tsung looked at him, pausing to consider. The pull of his conscious tore him. He wondered, would telling him his name be a danger to himself? Anxious uncertainty spun a wary thread across his tongue, holding it down. “Tsung.” he replied finally, in a low croaking voice. The bartender nodded with a polite smile.<br/><br/>“Very well!” he exclaimed, with a wide smile, “So Tsung, what would it be?”<br/><br/>“I don't know... What do you have?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Well it all depends on your tastes. Egor, what sort of fare do you think this man would be good for?” he called out, looking up at the guard who loomed in the distant corner.<br/><br/>Egor turned his head up and looked between he and his boss, “Kitayoza looks like a light-weight. I save kvass!”<br/><br/>The bartender nodded, “A good starting choice,” he replied with a smile. Shuffling in the crates at his feet he pulled out an indistinguishable bottle of a foggy, yellowing brown drink and passed it to Tsung. Hesitantly, he took the drink. The glass was warm in his hands.<br/><br/>“Uh, thank you...” said Tsung, eyeing the bottle with meek skepticsm and wariness. Somehow the bottle with its light cloud of floating debris seemed suspicious. And its heavy piss color didn't hardly help, “What is it?”<br/><br/>“It is kvass, friend. Greatest drink here in Russia!” he laughed, “People talk of vodka, but vodka is too strong for daily drink. So they drink Kvass instead, it's made with bread.<br/><br/>“Go ahead, drink it; but you might find it a little bitter.” he beckoned.<br/><br/>Tsung looked at the bottle with a reproachful sneer, weakly thumbing the cap with his finger nails until with a carbonated pop it snapped off. Nervously, he swilled it around in the bottle, watching the drifting, saturated crumbs slosh around in the foggy, bubbling drink. The German and Egor laughed over the expense of the hesitant and apprehensive Tsung.<br/><br/>Finally, after much delay he resigned to try the drink. It felt at the moment he upended the bottle the warm rush of tangy bitterness. Overwhelmingly there was the sensation of eating soggy bread, summoning a sort of strange mint flavor. Confused or reviled, he choked down his first swig of kvass and starred quizzically at the confusing beverage. Egor and the German roared with laughter.<br/><br/>“I think he likes it!” Egor exclaimed with a enthusiastic chuckle.<br/><br/>“Do you see what makes Russians tick now?” the German crooned, between dry giggles, “Everyone drinks it! And I don't need to worry about under-serving, if there was any reason to fear undeserving.” he cackled.<br/><br/>“What is this?” Tsung grimaced. He felt an almost beet after-taste crawl across his tongue as the remnants of the kvass trickled down his throat.<br/><br/>“Kvass!” the bartender repeated with a jovial roar, “It's maybe one of the things I can make on the road, so long as I got bread and plenty of yeast on hand.<br/><br/>“You see: what you do is you take some stale bread, soak it in water and add yeast. Let it ferment. You can do it in jugs, you can do it in a spare water bottle, you can make it in a barrel, a cask, or a crate! It's the universal bootleg.<br/><br/>“I add the mint for my own flare. I feel straight kvass is too unsophisticated for my tastes.”<br/><br/>“I prefer honey myself.” Egor commented.<br/><br/>“No wonder Russians are insane.” Tsung groaned, as he took another sip on the unlikely off-chance it would wash away the bitter taste.<br/><br/>“It's come to my attention too through rumors that your commander is fond of kvass himself. So he and us have many things in common.” the German crooned.<br/><br/>“'Us'?” Tsung asked, “I thought you were German.”<br/><br/>“Oh, I am!” the bartender laughed, “But I was born in Russia. Old Sarepa, if it matters to you. My father's father and on down the line moved to the Volga valley on the old czar's Catherine's invitation.”<br/><br/>“You don't sound Russian.” Tsung commented, referring to the differently accented Russian of the bartender.<br/><br/>“I also lived in Germany for a time. I learned my trade there.” he explained, “My brother learned to brew, and together we came back to Russia.<br/><br/>“You know, he handles my supply of the harder tonics and liquor. Maybe someday when your army “liberates” Volgagrad you can send him my regards. I may have moved to Moscow then at that time.”<br/><br/>“And interesting profession.” commented Tsung, between dry lappings of the tongue to remove the beverage's strange aftertaste.<br/><br/>“We are all interesting people, Mr. Tsung.” smiled the German, “And there are interesting times ahead. That much is sure. I can smell it in the air. I can hear it in the conversation. And to the end all I dream is to serve them!” he cheered with a wide smile.<br/><br/>“You have respectable dreams.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Somewhere north of Moscow</div><br/><br/>It had a snub-nose, it was rusty and brown, and the inside smelled like stale fruit-juice. Packed behind the windshield was a thin line of garbage and notes, but none of them were on interest. Strapped to lay down in the backseat president Belyakov lay with his head still covered by the black hood. There was still fear from him and his deep breaths punctuated the low steady rumble of the engine.<br/><br/>Some miles back Ullanhu and Vasiliy both had thrown out the true owners of the van, the widow mother and her child were left behind at the edge of the road as both men worked on trying to loose themselves in the winding country roads of Russia, passing with tentative caution through isolated villages or by prowling police cruisers. So far none of them had made an alarm. But both of them were beginning to feel they had to change vehicles at some point. Those two would be picked up at some point and would no doubt report them. This van needed to be ditched.<br/><br/>“Do we know where we're going?” Ullanhu asked as they drove through the middle of another idyllic Russian village. The names of these small towns were becoming meaningless as the daylight fell below the horizon and the world was becoming cast in purple and orange lights. It was also the fifth time the question had been asked.<br/><br/>It wasn't so much an establishment of a plan but more the deep seated need for some comfort in knowing what's going on. Even if the answer had not changed.<br/><br/>“East we go.” Vasiliy answered the question. He kept his eyes peeled on the main road as he scanned up and down it.<br/><br/>Under normal circumstances the small restaurants, store-fronts, and second floor apartments would have been comfortable lit up in their gold light of soft orange candle lighting. But for two men who had become high-profile fugitives that was hardly the matter. They had just barely escaped Moscow and neither knew how far the Poles would go to try and get the president back. But there had been no sign of them so far and it could only be assumed that they were still disorganized in the chaos in Moscow and searching for what went wrong.<br/><br/>Maybe they thought they were still in the city?<br/><br/>“We've been doing that for a while.” Ullanhu replied, resting his chin on his hand as he starred out the window, “And when are we going to change out vehicles?”<br/><br/>“When we find one.”<br/><br/>When they find one, that was a promising proposal. There was many along the side of the road but they were either too in the open or there was a real fear that they had been abandoned for some reason. And to refuel one wasn't looking promising as they passed refueling stations advertising the abhorrent price of gas in the region. It was no wonder that in the country they found so many horse-drawn carts. Some enterprising farmers had even figured out how to chop up an old car to hitch it to their horses or mules.<br/><br/>Neither at least needed gasoline.<br/><br/>As quietly as they came the two left the rural town and crawled back through the forest on the highway. Guarded by towering looming spruces that seemed to bough over the road, concealing the incandescent beams of street-lights they had the road to themselves. The filtered lights of the road lights cast broken shadows on the road.<br/><br/>“Hungry you?” Vasiliy asked, turning to Ullanhu.<br/><br/>He looked up and to Vasiliy. Stopping to think about it he felt his stomach turn. “Yea, you didn't happen to hide anything in your coat did you?” he asked.<br/><br/>Vasiliy smiled and shook his head, “No, comrade.” he admitted, “ Money I do have.”<br/><br/>Up ahead through the trees a road-side dinner drifted into view. Warm, white incandescent lighting spilled out across a dirt parking lot from an outside bar. A few dark shadows loitered around outside of it. “I think I found it.” Vasiliy nodded to the stand.<br/><br/>“We won't get caught, will we?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>“Hopefully no...” Vasiliy said, “But we both soldiers, right? We can get way out.”<br/><br/>“I'm hoping you know what you're doing.” Ullanhu moaned as they pulled across the road onto the gravel. There wasn't much space, just more than enough for them to park the van so the rear-bumper was a foot from the road's shoulder. Killing the engine the two men sat looking out at the situation.<br/><br/>A manufactured metal hut stood out by the road, where windows had been cut away to form a bar for travelers to eat outside. Behind it a house built from logs, clumps of moss and mildew grew in thick patches across the bark and exposed wood of the cut and shaved logs that built it. Though a sign hung out front bearing a restaurant's name, none of the lights were on save for the road-side bar.<br/><br/>“We have a new car.” Ullanhu pointed out nervously, nodding to a beat up boxy truck parked not far away, an empty bead carried only a sagging tarp cover.<br/><br/>“Mhmm,” Vasiliy nodded, “But two at bar. If  re-act, you take them da?”<br/><br/>“I was never good at fighting,” said Ullanhu. There were nervous butterflies in his stomach. A heavy wayward caution hung over him. He felt almost defeated already.<br/><br/>“Yet, you be better than these hicks.” Vasiliy said, he was putting him to a promise. It didn't make Ullanhu very comfortable.<br/><br/>“No one knows what we look like, do we?” asked Ullanhu.<br/><br/>“Sooner or later will.” Vasiliy said cautiously, “We may go up, patrons know. We must put them down.”<br/><br/>“I don't know if I like this.”<br/><br/>“It what necessary.” Ullanhu scowled, “Listen if they try be hero hit man next you. Put them on side of fighting hand. Order something with silverware.<br/><br/>“I jump counter and take out barman. You do whatever. Hear?”<br/><br/>The Mongol nodded nervously, “We really need to kill them?”<br/><br/>“Do what must be done. Search for keys to truck. We take it.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu gave him a dry uncomfortable sigh. “If you insist.” he conceded. Both nodded and stepped outside.<br/><br/>The Russian July night was comfortably cool. The fresh cool smell of spruce and waxy pine was heavy on the air. In the distant woods the sounds of crickets played a muted symphony as the birds flocked to safety in the trees. A long purple light was cast down the road as the sun set well below the horizon, giving its last dying light before the moonlight finally put the day to bed.<br/><br/>From the distant dinner a radio played Russian folk. The two patrons looked up at their new guests walking over to them.<br/><br/>There was disconnected silence as Ullanhu and Vasiliy took their seats. The chairs little more than rain-washed and element faded bar-stools made of flaking whitening aluminum and torn upholstery. The air at the window was thick with the smell of onions and frying vegetables.<br/><br/>“We're about ready to close up.” the man behind the counter told them with a bitter frown. He leaned over a sink filled with soapy utensils. The two late patrons looked at the new guests as they sat down next to them. Ullanhu averted his eyes, afraid and suspicious of the scruffy laborers he found himself with. He kept his eyes down on the counter, nervously starring at the tar-stained knuckles of the man next to him, a nearly smoked cigarette smoldered between his fingers.<br/><br/>“Perhaps you can make a exception?” Vasiliy asked in Russia, “We've had a long road trip and we're a little hungry. I didn't plan on stopping for the night so I could use a pick-me up for the long-road.”<br/><br/>The clerk looked at them both through a critical sneer. Perhaps he could see the smudged dirt on them? Can he see and smell the blood and the gunpowder they had tried to wipe off still? He was critical, but did he know.<br/><br/>“Fine, but I'm charging you both double.” he said, “What will it be?”<br/><br/>“Some Shashlyk would be nice.”<br/><br/>The clerk nodded. “And what about your friend?” he asked, nodding to the submissive Ullanhu.<br/><br/>“T-the same thing.” he said in a low voice.<br/><br/>One of the men at the counter laughed, it was a low dry voice that crackled and coughed, “Why do you sound so afraid?” he asked, “Are you wanted for something?”<br/><br/>Ullanhu's heart skipped a nervous beat and he could feel his face run cold. He leaned his head up on his hand and covered his face with his fingers.<br/><br/>“He is nervous,” Vasiliy explained for him, “He's been afraid that we're going to be late for a project. He's been moaning about it for the entire drive!”<br/><br/>The Russian chuckled, “And what is it you two do? You're too well dressed for these parts. And your friend: he's a little strange.”<br/><br/>“We both work for the president I'm afraid.” Vasiliy explained through lying teeth. A cold sweat dripped down Ullanhu's spine as he talked. The mongol wondered how much of it he was making it up as he went, “We were on our way east for important business. But I heard there was a terrible back-up on the main high-way. I thought we could get around it and make up for lost time waiting for it to be cleared!”<br/><br/>Ullanhu restrained his breathing. Each work he felt was making it worse. He was going too far to explain himself. Ullanhu could hear that. He could hear the forced smile in his voice too. He looked up through his fingers and watched the barman work over a griddle as he coaxed it back up to heat. The minced pieces of meat on the grill was beginning to sizzle as the man prepared metal skewers.<br/><br/>“That's interesting, I haven't heard anything about that.” the patron observed, “When did this happen?”<br/><br/>“Earlier this evening.”<br/><br/>“Volya, did you hear anything about a highway back up?”<br/><br/>“I haven't been paying attention.” the patron next to Ullanhu replied.<br/><br/>There was a brief silence. “Perhaps it'll come on the radio?” Vasiliy suggested.<br/><br/>There was more audible silence between the four. “What will you two drink?” their host asked.<br/><br/>“Kvass.” Vasiliy said, “For the two of us.”<br/><br/>“Right, coming up.” said the host.<br/><br/>Again, there was a conversation-less void. Ullanhu waited for the food, listening to it cook on the grill as the sounds of the night chirped away. A car on the highway passed by, dragging along the watery hush of air as it cut by.<br/><br/>With a light tap they were both passed a plate of several skewers of darkened red meat. “There you go.” the hose said, annoyed, “fifty rubles for the both of you.” he added, putting down two glasses of a foggy brown drink.<br/><br/>“Thank you, friend.” Vasiliy smiled.<br/><br/>Ullanhu reached out tentatively for the skewered meat and began tensely nibbling the spiced chunks of beef and vegetables. He looked over at his bar mate who was thumbing idly through a bowl of a half-eaten stew.<br/><br/>“Well, I should be leaving.” Ullanhu's partner said, “The wife will probably wonder where I am. Pyotr, how much do I owe you?”<br/><br/>“I'll put it on your tab.” the man behind the counter replied.<br/><br/>“Thanks.” the older man said, standing up. But he stopped as the radio switched over to a radio story. He froze at the mention of Belyakov.<br/><br/>“... Kidnapping agents are still suspected to be on the run.” a newsreader said through a crackling microphone, “Current police intelligence suggests that the perpetrators for the abduction of president Belykov are a working pair, likely working for communist forces operating from occupied Sankt Petersburg or the Chinese military. Citizens are advised to be on the lookout for two men acting suspiciously, known currently to be driving a stolen van. All individuals are advised to not engage and reports all sightings of these criminals to their local police jurisdictions...”<br/><br/>There was a tense, nervous silence as the radio echoed on. Silverware clinked against a plate. Ullanhu looked up for once. The man who was just getting up to leave stood looking down at him, deeply puzzled. But also deeply worried. Through worn eyes he was clearly measuring up the Chinese agent sitting before him.<br/><br/>“Who did you two say you were working for?” asked Vasiliy's bar-side partner.<br/><br/>“The president.” Vasiliy explained, tense. There was an uncomfortable pause. Ullanhu turned to look over at him and found he was trying to hold it together. Was he trying to talk his way out? But it was failing, in his eyes Ullanhu could tell he was beginning to calculate how to kill the man next to him. His fingers wrapped around the end of his skewer as he lowered it.<br/><br/>“I think these two might be the ones!” the elder man shouted, Volya.<br/><br/>“Comrade, now!” Vasiliy shouted in Chinese. Ullanhu jumped up as Vasiliy sprung to his feet. Swinging the half-eaten skewer in a low arc into his partner's gut. There was a piercing squelch as it pierced his gut and as the man cried out in pain.<br/><br/>Without thinking about it Ullanhu did what he could. He threw himself at Volya as he turned to run. He screamed as the agent wrapped his fingers through the collar of his shirt and tossed him against the side of the outside dinner. His head connected with the aluminum siding with a crashing clang and he fell back into the dirt with a heavy umph. He groaned as he held his hands to his face, blood rushing from a broken nose. His head cracked against the ground as Ullanhu delivered a swift kick to the side of his head and it rolled to the side stunned and still as it snapped to the side.<br/><br/>Ullanhu breathed heavily as his stomach rolled sickly in his belly. A slimy chill enveloped his skin and his shivered as he leaned against the side of the building.<br/><br/>There was wet fearful screams from inside as Vasiliy threw himself on the server. There wasn't much to put to the imagination as Ullanhu shut his eyes at the sound of the repeated falling stabs of Vasiliy's bloodied skewer into the poor man. And as soon as it happened it fell completely silent with only the chorus of the crickets. Vasiliy's breath rose and fell harsh as he leaned over the counter and looked up at Ullanhu.<br/><br/>“Did you find the keys?” he asked, exhausted. The front of his suit was covered in dish-pan size stains of blood and drops had splattered against his face.<br/><br/>Ullanhu felt and looked and felt as if he felt a ghost. He was shocked for words. It occurred to him he hadn't quiet seen something like this since Jun had cut down a station's worth of grungy gangsters. Shaking he shook his head.<br/><br/>Vasiliy nodded, “Go do that, move the president. I'll try to clean up here.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Volgagrad</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Old Saretpa</div><br/><br/>The brakes wheezed as the van pulled up in-front of a boarded-up store-front. The sign hanging up from read in massive block letters “The Fourth Rome Laundromat”. A tipped over trashcan sat beside the front door. Dust covered the glass of the door. On the corner a small group of sloppily dressed, skinny youths leaned over a dice-game.<br/><br/>“Welcome to the kingdom of The Italian.” Makulov's agent said with a faux prideful smile. Jun looked out at it unimpressed.<br/><br/>“That's all?” he said.<br/><br/>The other agent nodded. “It's garbage, I know. I think we all know. But it still works actually.”<br/><br/>“Impressive, to say the least.” Jun said. He wasn't at all impressed. In all his apathy he could squeeze out only a little sarcasm as he went to open the door.<br/><br/>“Before you step out and we both meet the man there's a few things you should know,” the agent started, placing a hard hand on Jun's shoulder and stopping him, “about The Italian.<br/><br/>“The first and foremost thing you should know and may recognize before you go on is that he's Aurelio Batista.”<br/><br/>“Batista? The old Italian dictator?” Jun was surprised, he lifted his hands from the door.<br/><br/>“The very same. He still like to be recognized as such. So be sure to title him as 'Your Honor' or even 'Prime Minister Sir'. If you don't you'll probably offend him and fuck us both up. I don't know how he's managed it but he's been able to lay low here ever since he was ousted from Italy. The monarchy had interest in finding him to bring him in for justice but they never succeeded.”<br/><br/>“So are they still looking for him?” Jun asked<br/><br/>The Russian nodded, “It's my own little chip. It's in fact a lot of people's chip against him and is what's held him in check among Mafiya regulars. He's too afraid of having the Italians sweep back in and pick him up or assassinate him so he bides by their rules. The Mafiya doesn't trust him because he's foreign, but they don't exclude him. He's become a beneficiary to mid-level bosses so it's how I get my information.<br/><br/>“That's why he's important.” he added with emphasis, “That's why I don't want him killed. And it's why I don't want this fucked up. I'm sharing this very important card with you because I find it necessary. If we're sharing the same city and we're both working for the same man then I want us both on the same page.<br/><br/>“So, why do you need to contact him?”<br/><br/>Jun considered his answer. Was it relevant anymore, he wondered? Fair enough that politics had moved as they did and that perhaps his mission was irrelevant. But he was so far lost and without support. He would need to get what he could to find if he should report home. He looked out at the dilapidated laundromat.<br/><br/>The surrounding neighborhood didn't look much better than it. And out of place in Russia he noticed that there was not only prevalent Russian but prevalent German as well. He took a heavy sigh, “There's a brewer in central Volgograd that needs Batista to lay off him.” he admitted flatly, “His workers are scarred off, and he can't produce anymore alcohol. I think he's afraid he's going to fall apart.”<br/><br/>“That sounds usual in Batista's alley.” Makulov's local agent acknowledged, “He's trying to pass off the image he's some Sicilian crime-boss now or something. He's been harassing business owners across the city for protection money. That and gambling dens, those are his fields. He lacks the resources and capital to do anything else. He can launder money but he can't launder people: so he doesn't do human trafficking, he doesn't have anyone smart enough to do drugs, but the Alan Company does that already and has a monopoly over the area for that.”<br/><br/>“Alan Company?”<br/><br/>“Mafiya affiliates. Someone I would like to infiltrate to get a higher view of the area but never can. But don't worry about them, you'll probably never see them.”<br/><br/>Jun nodded.<br/><br/>“The next thing you should know is that Batista wants his outfit to be called The Cosa Nostra,” the agent moved to explain, “But he has so little respect and so few care that it's become practice to simply call it Cocka Hocktpa. He's resigned himself to it, but he would be flattered if you recognized the actual name. He may not have you killed then.”<br/><br/>“That's good to know.”<br/><br/>“Excellent.” the Russian smiled, banging his hand on the steering wheel. “You can step out now.”<br/><br/>With a twin set of dull pops the two opened the van's doors and stepped out. The air was still and quiet. The gang of youths on the corner stopped their game and glared up at the two men as they entered the laundromat. Before he disappeared inside, Jun shot them a cold look in warning.<br/><br/>Inside, if it weren't for the boarded windows there was a certain semblance of normality in the laundromat, beyond which was shown on the outside. Though the sunlight was non-existent or streamed in through dirty glass the place was at least cleaned. Stacks and rows of bone-white laundry machines created organized aisles, where at this time of day a few of Sarepta's oldest sat reading paperbacks as their laundry was ran through still-working machines.<br/><br/>Walking passed them there was the stale smell of cheap laundry detergent that mingled with chemical floor cleaner. Dull mechanical thumping joined in tandem the grainy sounds of music played in the backroom. Over what sounded to be a gramaphone that sung in better days the distant words of a melodramatic Italian opera sang in a dearth of lively sound.<br/><br/>The Russian agent lead Jun up to the counter at the far end of the laundromat. There a middle-aged man stood leaning over the counter with a book in his hands. Tapping on the counter he summoned the man's attention.<br/><br/>“Ah! Artyom, how are you?” the attendant asked. His face was disheveled, covered in a patchwork beard and mustache that was only half shaved in spots and fully shaved in others. Blue eyes were quickly turning gray, but it hardly mattered as his brow slowly sank closer into his field of view.<br/><br/>“I'm here to see the boss.” Artyom said, “He is available, is he?”<br/><br/>“That he is. But whose the <span class=""bb-i"">uzkoglazy</span>?” the man sneered, looking at Jun. His face reflected a certain public bitterness. Jun returned the favor.<br/><br/>“He's a friend of mine.” Artyom explained, “He too needs to speak to the boss.”<br/><br/>The clerk looked between the two of him. Reserved, he asked: “What for?”<br/><br/>“I need work.” Jun spoke up.<br/><br/>“Right,” the clerk sneered, “And I need a wife who'll fuck me. What is it you do?”<br/><br/>“Anything.” said Jun.<br/><br/>The clerk grunted, “Alright, but let me go check with the boss.” He pushed himself away from the counter and headed to the back, shooting a distasteful look at him.<br/><br/>As he left, Jun turned over to Artyom. “Cover name?” he asked in a low voice.<br/><br/>“It is, don't worry about it.” he explained. Jun nodded.<br/><br/>“Anything I should know last minute about this?” he prodded, gesturing off to where the man disappeared.<br/><br/>“I think it's self evident.” Artyom began in a lowered voice, “Your people invade Russia, makes the locals mad. Once more, there's a community of Chinese living in the delta who have kept the Mafiya out of their affairs. Batista included. They're the bastards everyone doesn't like.<br/><br/>“Sort of like the Jews.”<br/><br/>Jun nodded along. Folding up his arms he waited for the man to come back. Seconds soon passed with the two waiting. Seconds turned to minutes. And soon it felt as if they were waiting for the better part of an hour.<br/><br/>Eventually, he returned.<br/><br/>“He'll see you two now.” he invited with a cold voice. He stepped aside as the two walked through the office door, the clerk giving them a distrustful glare as they slipped into the back.<br/><br/>The hallways in the back were sterile and austere. No direction hung from the plaster-white walls and nothing on the slate gray carpet. Several plainly built wooden doors hung from dark, sharply contrasting frames. But the two ignored them, continuing along to the end of the hall where the sound of music was the strongest. Stopping at the door Artyom rose his hand and rapped his knuckles against the door.<br/><br/>“Come in.” a voice beckoned from inside. Artyom swung the door open and stepped in, hands folded in front of him.<br/><br/>The office inside was a far-cry from the sterility just outside its door. And though it was cheap it was as brashly decorated as a cheap criminal overlord with the ego of a world leader could afford. A dark red Persian rug adorned the floor of the office and a wooden desk took the middle of the room, clearly carved without expertise to resemble a much finer piece of furniture; but lost out with the hard straight lines it held in the curves. A golden-yellow lamp stood on the corner, bathing the room in a flickering yellow light that shone from the dented brass horn of a hard-wood gramophone in the corner, placed in a niche formed by flanking empty bookshelves and filing cabinets.<br/><br/>And sitting at the center of the room was the lord dejure. A pale faced man with slacking skin, who may have been fatter in happier days. But though he was still a large man the clothes he wore and the loose jowls of his face spoke a hundred words to the weight he had lost. <br/><br/>He was as well not a reserved man in his appearance, his hair was well groomed and presidential, combed and oiled back from where it receded from his brow. Even his eyebrows were waxed to the side. Dark green eyes looked up at Artyom with warm welcome, and then to Jun with cold suspicion. He held in sausage fingers a black pen which he tapped against golden rings on the other hand. He wore cuff links still adorned with the flag of his Italian regime.<br/><br/>Looking at him was like looking down at a by-gone ghost. Aurelio Batista was still as much of the classicist looking man as he was in Italy, and he clung to what little style he could find to retain his dissolved position while still grabbing for what respect he could muster.<br/><br/>“When I thought I was going to have a nice afternoon coffee break with my good friend, I did not think I would have to do so in the presence of a chink.” he rused spitefully. He scratched the bulbous end of his round spot-pocked nose, “Do you have an explanation for his presence?” he asked.<br/><br/>“He is a capable man, and he's looking for work.” Artyom explained.<br/><br/>“I'm sure he is, as with everyone in this town.” Batista sneered. He looked up at Jun, scowling, “Who the fuck are you?” he demanded.<br/><br/>“Piàn Qi.” Jun answered.<br/><br/>Batista snorted, “Mr. Qi, why are you here?” he demanded.<br/><br/>“On a request, actually.” Jun told him, “I want to settle a debt between you and someone who you think needs your service.”<br/><br/>“There are many people who require my services. You're going to need to be specific you slant-eyed prick.”<br/><br/>“A brewer in Volgograd proper, he says you scarred off his workers. I'm here to see they come back and you stop harassing him. You realize that on this strategy he'll never get you anything at this rate, Mr. Batista.”<br/><br/>Batista's eyes widened and he sat up in his chair, “No one calls me by that name!” he snarled, “Do you understand that?” he turned to Artyom, “How did he know!?” he demanded, “None of the trash here in Russia have gotten this.”<br/><br/>“Mr. Batista, I guess he's smart.” he shrugged, “Perhaps he recognized you. I have come to known him in our brief acquaintance as being a very sharp man.”<br/><br/>“Sharp man or not, do you know what I can have my men do to you?” Batista hissed, “I'll have you tossed into the Volga, with a whole cement suit.”<br/><br/>“Do you realize what I can do to your men before they try that.” Jun answered back in a low voice.<br/><br/>“Are you threatening me?” Batista growled.<br/><br/>“I'm not threatening, I'm giving you a promise. I also have an offer.”<br/><br/>“No, I will not leave that cripple alone. Not until he pays me back what he owes to me!”<br/><br/>“Your honor, let me explain,” Jun began. The title reference froze Batista's angry look for a moment that his eyes glossed over with a spark of pride, “I realize the Cosa Nostra here in Russia could use money. But not everyone is willing to offer it.<br/><br/>“But prime-minister, I am willing to deal on it. What could be done that lets you leave him alone?” Jun felt slimy dealing with him. A itchy hand begged him to gun the man down there. But the pressure of Artyom kept him steady. True as it might he could grill the city's underclass, having an informant former dictator was a unique opportunity to hold. For now, he would stay his hand and bite the bullet of working with the enemy.<br/><br/>Even if that enemy was no longer anything.<br/><br/>Batista leaned over the desk as he rose from his chair. Walking around the crudely carved piece of furniture he stepped up to Jun. The former dictator easily stood over him.<br/><br/>He seemed at a crossroads. At a moment he would want him dead. But to properly addressed, his organization recognized for what it was complicated that. “Alright.” he said, “You enter my employ and I will leave the cripple brew master alone.” he offered, “You will not be paid until I feel that his debt has been fully repaid by your work.”<br/><br/>“I can agree to that.” Jun nodded.<br/><br/>“Good.” Batista said with a cold tone, “But I want you to know that outside these doors you will not refer to me by my real name. I am either The Boss, or The Italian. You will never say my name in public. Only between me and Artyom may you say who I am.<br/><br/>“Or I'll fucking feed you to the fishes, understand?”<br/><br/>“I understand.”<br/><br/>“Good.” Batista sighed, “We'll initiate the chink in the next couple days. For now you gook: you can wait outside for Artyom and I to finish. You're dismissed.”</div>"

No doubt the local Muslim units would have a fit - but luckily, Bakradze was a Christian.<br/><br/>""Come on"" he murmured to his subordinates, who took up positions on either side of the door. Bakradze picked his way through the long splinters of rotten wood that poked out of the sides of the doorway like stalactites. The privates followed, their eyes darting wildly across the street. ""Where to, sir?"" whispered one. ""The Minarets. We can take a position up there and take out a few Turks behind their barricade"" replied the Captain, clutching his rifle tightly. It was slick with sweat from where he had been holding it so hard. The other half of the unit were going up the shopfronts to draw fire away from the Main Street and into the shop windows. <br/><br/>The mosque had been abandoned years ago by its Shiite inhabitants, who had found their position between a Sunni and Orthodox plurality uncomfortable and had left for Persia. The building had been impressive in its day and had served the dwindling Shia sect well - the exquisite yet compact architecture spoke wonders for their ancient culture. But Bakradze was no fan of Muslims, especially ones who prayed in such glamorous buildings. He would of kicked a piece of furniture over, if there had been one. He instead contented himself with spitting on the soft, marble floors. <br/><br/>""Dirty bastards"" he spat, rubbing his boot in it. Bakradze hated Muslims and Muslims hated Bakradze. At least, in his head, they did.<br/><br/>It didn't take long to find the steps that led to the bell tower, where the Imam had once called Shiites to prayer five times a day. The stairs were rickety and wooden. Dust puffed out of each step as the snipers stamped their way to the top, all silent in their resolution. Bakradze was rather proud of his military career and his heart had swollen with pride upon hearing his unit had been chosen for this job. He'd been fighting Turks with guerilla tactics for years.  <br/><br/>""Stop"" murmured Bakradze, turning to his companions. ""One of you stay downstairs, make sure no fucking Turks get up here"". The man at the back of the queue nodded and stamped down the steps back into the mosque. <br/><br/>Bakradze gave himself a private pat on the back. He'd almost fucked up.<br/><br/>The belltower, if it could even be called a belltower, was a tiny room, open to the warm, summer air. It was pitch black and it took the men a few minutes to gain their bearings. The occasional flash of gunfire came on the street and square below, as the Guards and the Turks fired pot-shots into the dark, hoping to make a lucky shot hit.<br/><br/>""Right"" murmured Bakradze. ""We can't do much in the dark, so we're only going to get a few shots in before they notice where we are and set that machine gun going. Make your shots count, lad"". The private, a pale young Georgian, nodded. He'd been trained well. He wasn't even shaking as he lifted his rifle over the side of the small wooden guard and took aim. His superior copied him and they both stared down their iron sights, fingers twitching at the trigger.<br/><br/>""Soon, lad"" murmured the Captain. ""Be patient. Wait for the flank"".<br/></div>"

The lights were off, leaving little visible, but Sahle couldn't escape the feeling that he was totally alone. <br/><br/>Then he heard singing. The voice was that of Aaliyah: the girlfriend he thought he had lost.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">It's no good</span>."" <br/><br/>He recognized that line. It was from a simple cabaret bit they often did at the beginning of any given night in Sevan, usually as an introduction.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Doing as you should</span>."" the spotlight appeared on her then. She looked like a ghost, with grey-tan skin and a flowing robe that seemed to melt into the stage. <br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">It's no fun. Being on the run.</span>"" her voice was high and sweet. It made him feel a pain in his chest for the better times.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">It's not nice. Living vice to vice</span>."" At the abrupt sound of a cymbal crash, and the rise of a ghostly band, she became many. The stage stretched into forever on either side, and infinite versions of singing Aaliyahs were lined along it like chorus girls. Sahle felt drunk on the chaos. He sunk into his chair and tried to fathom what was happening.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">But we're alive!</span>"" her voice leapt to hold a note that Sahle never knew Aaliyah to hold. ""<span class=""bb-i"">We always survive. We are grand. We are the baaand.</span>""<br/><br/>And then Sahle was not alone. Swanky music filled the room. Though he was the only person at his table, the other tables were occupied by skeletal bands as infinite as the Aaliyahs. There were skeletons wrapped in shammas, with wiry beards and bushy afros growing from bleached bones. There were skeletons in loose fitting Armenian clothes, and some with military uniforms. And there were some dressed in the warms clothes he had seen in Russia. All of them played instruments. They played hard and violent, like bones driven by devils. And they were good. Holy shit could they play. The music was perfect. They did not miss a beat. Sahle felt an urge to jam with them, but they were still skeletons, and the whole scene was just too bizarre for him to do anything but stay freaked out and glued to his chair.<br/><br/>Until a hand grabbed his shoulder. He jumped.<br/><br/>""Emperor friend"" he heard Vasily's voice ""What is wrong with you?"" <br/><br/>-<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Astrakhan, The Volgograd Confederation</span></span><br/><br/>Sahle woke up in the passenger's seat of Vasily's dented old truck surrounded by an unfamiliar city. He felt cold and slimy from his own sweat. He wanted some<span class=""bb-i"">thing</span> - anything - and he had a compulsion to seek out Marc for a fix.<br/><br/>""I think you are not well."" Vasily told him, looking at him like a mother worrying over a feverish child. <br/><br/>He wasn't well. His skin felt unnatural, as if it were rejecting his body, and he had a compulsion to itch. His mind was gone - lost in a fog, somewhere between the windshield and the city. He shivered like a corpse on a frozen block. Everything outside seemed to leer at him unwelcoming.<br/><br/>There were some houses with rotten roofs, and scraps of wood siding hanging from the walls. Others had crisp paint-jobs and lively windows. Though the occasional person outdoors showed that these neighborhoods were inhabited, there was something static and unhappy about those houses. They stared lifelessly across the cracks and potholes of the beaten street like tombs waiting for bodies. Clammy fear slithered over Sahle's skin. Were the houses waiting for his corpse? What did those walls hide? He crumpled up like an old newspaper in his seat.<br/><br/>""What is this place?"" Sahle muttered. He glared at the Russian, catching his uncertain glances. Did Vasily know something Sahle didn't? <br/><br/>""Astrakhan"" Vasily replied. ""We are still in the Volgograd territories. The commander of the military garrison here is my boss.""<br/><br/>""Military? You belong to the military? I thought... you are a gangster or something?""<br/><br/>Vasily smiled. ""I think that these rules are not as important as you Emperors think, my oh Imperial Magistrate. Armies, gangs, and governments, and businesses, it's all just words until you find out who has control""<br/><br/>""Who's that?"" Sahle asked. He felt like there was some overwhelming secret in Vasily's words, like the Russian was hinting at something that would put him in grave danger.<br/><br/>Vasily shrugged. ""Who knows."" <br/><br/>What was going on here? Sahle did not know why, by he was certain that something evil was hanging over him, like a gun strung up by its trigger. He looked at his right hand and held it to his face. He was trembling. Was he sick? Had he been poisoned? He wanted to flee, but he didn't have the strength. He wanted to puke. What was this place really? The truth was somewhere out there, hiding in the unholy corners of Astrakhan.<br/><br/>A tower loomed above, several blocks in front of them. It wasn't evil or dark in any way, or even warlike. Like a church spire, it climbed white and beautiful into the sky. At first, he thought it was the bell tower to the bulging, curving white-walled church that stood nearby it, which had several stunted towers constructed in a similar style. But, as they got closer, he saw that the tallest tower was a gate, with wings that stretched so far from either side that they seemed to be walls. It was as if a priest had designed a castle. <br/><br/>Sahle, feeling like an ice-cube frying on a pan, watched helplessly while the truck crept through the gate. They were stopped by a man in pine-green fatigues and a stiff pine-green cap. In the middle of the cap was a gawdy eagle insignia. The guard's approach was passionless at first, with all the rigidity of a man doing his job, but when the guard recognized Vasily, the mood changed. They talked like old friends.<br/><br/>""Vasily, why do you have a black person in your car?"" the guard said. His voice was deep as a trumpet, and it sounded as if it were coming from some fleshy pocket at the bottom of his throat.<br/><br/>""This is a person that Colonel Sorokin will want to meet."" Vasily looked over at Sahle, and the worried look came back. ""But I think he is coming down from all of the chemicals.""<br/><br/>""Chemicals?"" the guard peeked in uncertain. ""Oh, the chemicals. Drive on to the infirmary."" <br/><br/>""Yes. It is good to see you again."" Vasily said. The guard went back to his post. Vasily slid the shift-knob forward, and they rolled into the central plaza. <br/><br/>It was here Sahle realized that the wings spreading from the tower were, in fact, a wall enclosing the entire space. It was strange to Sahle that they would build their walls with shingled roofs. But, upon seeing them, it struck him that he was enclosed by these walls, and the only way out was guarded by one of Vasily's friends. He was helpless, and he began to despair completely. <br/><br/>They came to a stop in front of a brick building. Sahle was weak, and when he realized that he was going to have to walk, he felt like he was rapidly deflating. When his mind wandered, he blinked in a vain attempt to focus. <br/><br/>""Will you be fine to walk?"" Vasily asked. Sahle attempted an anemic nod. The Russian's door opened with a rusty groan. Vasily came around and opened the passenger's side.<br/><br/>Nausea wriggled worm-like from Sahle's stomach, reaching into the rest of his body and biting at his skin. He put his feet on the pavement. His joints felt like jelly, and his torso was as heavy as lead. He took one step, and then another. Vasily placed an arm around Sahle to keep him steady. But it was no use. As if the pressure in the air had doubled, his limbs gave out and he fell into the darkness.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Consciousness and dreams melted into a chain of images that meant absolutely nothing. He saw himself suspended in a cardboard tree above an Armenian burlesque, where all of the actors and actresses read the lines of Shakespearean plays completely in the nude. The next moment, it was the nurse from the hospital where he and Marc had recovered from their crash, only she was clothed, and in a blue woolen dress. Each dream gave way to another, and every one degraded rapidly from his memory as soon as he moved to the next, so that his experience was a series of mismatched memories and outright hallucinations. He saw the cockless statue in Barnham's club, and the garden of the Wollo estate where he had grown up. He remembered his mother's whitest dress, the smell of gunpowder, and the night he made love to Aaliyah in the place where Jesus was born. His dreams, the pleasant and the sad, where interspersed by unnatural visions of demons, and ghosts, and colors that did not exist. <br/><br/>There was a place his dreams kept bringing him back to; a cold brick room with an unfinished wooden floor, and cots along all the walls. These were the simplest dreams. He remembered drinking cold water, and being fed bland gruel. He remembered being asked to take pills from a nurse in a blue dress. But, as innocent as it all seemed, there were monsters behind the doors. He could sense them. Something sinister slithered under the floorboards. Sahle was afraid to look out the windows, because he knew that there was always something ready to stare back.<br/><br/>And then the room would go away. He would be somewhere else again, carried away by the cold. He always seemed to be in danger of being sucked into some sort of hell hidden in the corner of his vision, and he fought it by swimming toward the best memories he could remember. He wanted the warmth of childhood, or the meaningfulness he felt in the arms of women. Those things were there, and he sometimes managed to take hold of them, but they always slipped from his grasp when the demons fingered at his heals. <br/><br/>Time marched on, and the cold brick room became his most common destination. He came to realize that the room was reality. The face of the nurse became solid enough that he was beginning to remember it. She was a chubby woman in her middle years, with blue eyes and mousy brown hair, and a blue woolen dress that was impressed into his memory now. He had many short conversations with her that he couldn't remember a minute after the words were said.<br/><br/>But the time he spent in reality grew longer, and with that came his memory. The nurse became more than a face he could remember. She became a person.<br/><br/>The nurse brought him porridge, and sat the bowl next to him before she spoke. ""When a child is born in China, there is an ancient tradition: a silver spoon is dropped onto the jade floor. The sound the spoon makes will be the name of the newborn."" When she finished her joke, she giggled with a smile as big as her belly.<br/><br/>Sahle grinned. ""Where did you hear that?"" <br/><br/>""I hear these things when I am in town."" she said joyfully. ""Oh, from the travelers, and the cossacks drinking in the streets. I try to remember every one of them when I can. Here is another one. A Chukcha comes into a shop and asks: 'Do you have color TVs?' 'Yes, we do.' says the shopkeeper, so the Chukcha says 'Give me a green one.'"" When she was done with the second joke, she giggled just as much as with the first. <br/><br/>Sahle made an effort to look entertained, but he did not understand what <span class=""bb-i"">Chukcha</span> meant, so he didn't know what the joke was about at all, though the idea of a green-colored TV was funny enough.<br/><br/>""Well... where am I?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""Ohhh"" her mouth and eyes took the shape of three O's. ""You have asked that many times already. You are in the Kremlin of Astrakhan. Your friend brought you here because you were sick.""<br/><br/>""Where is Vasily?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""He has work."" the Nurse said.<br/><br/>Sahle had gained his composure enough to realize he might have made more trouble for himself. Would this Colonel of Vasily's be willing to take him in now it was known that Sahle had a 'Chemical' problem? Had he made an irredeemable ass of himself?<br/><br/>Then a third voice joined in the conversation, spoken from the doorway. ""I think his work has found his friend."" Vasily said. He appeared from the darkness beyond the room, as if summoned by the conversation. He was the same Vasily, with the grin that had carried him in Armenia, but his clothes were different now. He was wearing the same military uniform that the guard at the gate had been wearing, with the gaudy eagle on his cap.<br/><br/>""Do you think you can walk now?"" Vasily entered the room as he spoke, and his boots echoed on the raw wood planks that made up the floor.<br/><br/>""I haven't tried."" Sahle looked down where his legs were covered by a blanket. ""But I think so. I still feel wrong though... I feel cold.""<br/><br/>The nurse spoke up. ""That will linger, but you should walk. You will get better if you get your blood moving."" <br/><br/>Sahle nodded. He tried to stand up, but his legs felt wet and weak, and his flesh stung as if pricked by needles. The effort made him suddenly tired, and he wanted to lay down and sleep.<br/><br/>""You are better!"" Vasily patted Sahle on the back. ""See, it is the Russian weather. This is good weather to be alive in!""<br/><br/>""I got sick in Russian weather."" Sahle retorted. With Vasily encouraging him, Sahle felt like the time to lay back down was passed. He would have to face whatever was here, though the world outside the infirmary walls made him feel persecuted and unwanted. Vasily led the way.<br/><br/>He had grown comfortable with the cot in the infirmary, but when they left that familiar room, all of the anxiety that had been haunting Sahle came back, as if emanated from the old walls that closed in on him from either side. <br/><br/>""I have told Colonel Sorokin who you are. He is the only one that knows."" Vasily said.<br/><br/>""Are you going to sell me?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""No! He has a very interesting place for you. I do not think you will believe it, but I know you will like it.""<br/><br/>Sahle was trying to work out what place he might have among the Russians, but he could not imagine it. The only skill a foreign ex-Emperor brought to the table was the ability to be sold, or maybe play some part in some intrigue. But the Russians had no reason to get tangled up in Ethiopian politics. What else was he but a piece of valuable property?<br/><br/>The corridor was rounded off at the top like a bullet. They passed by doors which opened up into larger rooms, and closed doors guarded by soldiers in the same outfit as Vasily. Sahle felt like a captive in the bowels of an old sailing ship, being brought to the deck to be tossed overboard into an ocean grave. Everything around him was foreign, and all of it made him unhappy.<br/><br/>""This is it."" Vasily said when they came to another guarded door. ""The Colonel is on the other side. When we go in there, do not have any freak outs. I think you want the colonel to like you.""<br/><br/>Sahle did not have any time to reply before the door opened.<br/><br/>The bricks in the office had been painted with one thin layer of white. There was an oak desk standing dominant on one side, joined by no other furniture aside from humble wooden chairs. Several figures dominated the room; three men in military fatigues, and a little girl wearing a starched dress uniform. There was in the air a hint of alcohol stench.<br/><br/>""Ah!"" the shortest of the three men snapped his fingers rapidly six or seven times, and the other two men left. The small man wore a short brown beard with a shaggy mustache, and he was balding on top. <br/><br/>""I am immensely happy to know you, Emperor Sahle."" the Russian said with a short bow. Sahle's eyes immediately shot toward the little girl, who was still playing in the corner. He reckoned that she must be nine or ten; old enough to know what she was hearing. <br/><br/>And it was at that moment that something struck him. In the girl's arms was a stuffed horse doll, with a head that was just as big as the body. But that was not what struck him. The head of the horse - a ragged thing, with evil empty eyes - looked like those horrible horse-headed men he had seen on the Georgian border, when he had still been Samel so many eons ago. The specter of the horse-headed men had hung over him for some time, and the return of that specter revived all the horror he had felt after arriving in Astrakhan.<br/><br/>""Your majesty."" the short man said again. ""Do not worry about Regina. She is my daughter, and an honest girl.""<br/><br/>""I think that is what he is afraid of."" Vasily giggled. <br/><br/>The girl looked up from the terrifying horse doll. She was a pale girl, with smooth brown hair that hung over her shoulder in a thick braid, and blue eyes that seemed older than her body. ""I am pleased to meet an Emperor."" she said, echoing her father. ""Don't worry about me, I will keep your secrets.""<br/><br/>The short man looked at her with a sense of glowing pride that almost surpassed typical fatherhood. ""I am Colonel Sorokin, Volgograd Confederational Guard. Vasily has been telling me about your exploits in Sevan."" he paused to glower, and shook his head. ""It is too bad you have been driven to that.""<br/><br/>""My choices... I did not have many of those."" Sahle answered. His head was swimming. He did not know what to trust, or what he should say.<br/><br/>""When the stars fall to the earth, they cannot traipse into town and get a job."" Sorokin chuckled. ""Sit down. Can I get you a drink? We have much to talk about."" Sahle was struck offguard. This man, this stern army officer, didn't care that Sahle had arrived suffering some serious withdrawal?<br/><br/>Before Sahle could answer, Sorokin was already finding glasses and pouring the vodka. Sahle and Vasily found places to sit. <br/><br/>""I am sure you have many questions."" Sorokin said. He passed the glasses across the table and took a quick, greedy quaff for himself. <br/><br/>Sahle was afraid to ask the single question on his mind. He was distracted by the ugly vibe, and completely convinced that something horrible was on the horizon. He wanted to ask what would happen to him, but he imagined Sorokin giving him one thousand different horrifying answers, and he didn't want to say anything that might earn him one of those answers.<br/><br/>""Who is Vasily?"" Sahle finally choked. He turned to his friend, who seemed amused to be his first question. ""Are you... uh... a soldier?""<br/><br/>""An old soldier."" Sorokin answered. ""I trust my oldest soldiers.""<br/><br/>""Not that old."" Vasily rose in his seat, grinning wide. <br/><br/>""Oh no... not that old."" Sorokin bristled uncomfortably. A weak smile came over his face. ""We have known each other a long time. Difficult times. The people who fought and survived the Five Year Chaos are heroes in my reckoning."" The Colonel had already finished his vodka, leaving his hands with nothing to do. He fidgeted with the half-empty bottle resting on his desk. <br/><br/>""Why would you want to know these things?"" Vasily looked quizzical. ""You want to know other things. I know this.""<br/><br/>Sahle nodded slowly, trying to stall for as much time as he could. He felt an urge to run; to run far away and find a womb where he could crawl in and hide. At least until he did not feel so... unnatural.<br/><br/>""What.."" he stuttered, hoping to think of something else to say. ""What... what happens now?""<br/><br/>Sorokin stopped fingering at the bottle and leaned back in his chair. ""Vasily told me that you have concerns, and I understand. You must take my word for it that I have no interest in hurting you. I cannot tell you what is happening right now, but you will know when you need to know.""<br/><br/>""Why won't I know now? It does not seem right here. I want to know why."" <br/><br/>There was a pause, just long enough for Sahle's anxiety to rise to the point of popping. The other two men didn't make a sound. They just sort of... stared. <br/><br/>""Yes. I have things I must tell you, but I cannot tell you now because I do not know you.""<br/><br/>""You know who I am. Nobody else does.""<br/><br/>""I know a story."" Sorokin said. ""I believe the story, but that does not mean that I <span class=""bb-i"">know</span> you. I have survived in this command through the worst times in Russia because I do not jump into the fire until the ashes are cold. You must understand that I cannot do things so quickly that it puts my responsibility in danger.""<br/><br/>""Well, I have no other questions."" Sahle was exhausted from the pressure. He wanted to sleep. <br/><br/>""Right."" Sorokin leaned forward. His hand went straight to fondle the bottle. ""So, your majesty, do you know how to shoot a gun?""<br/><br/>""Vasily taught me.""<br/><br/>Sorokin smiled. ""Yes, yes. He is good with weapons. That is why I have kept him around so long.""<br/><br/>""I know some secrets too."" Vasily added.<br/><br/>Sorokin's smile faded. It was slight, something Sahle wouldn't have noticed if he wasn't on his guard. ""Yes, yes. We all have secrets, don't we."" the Colonel said. He fidgeted for a moment before continuing. ""Ah! ah! We have been teaching Regina how to shoot.""<br/><br/>""I shot a tank cannon a week ago."" the little girl jumped into the conversation. Sahle had nearly forgotten about her. Now he remembered; the girl, and that creepy fucking horse.<br/><br/>""It is one of the perks of my command. When I want to use the equipment, who is here to stop me, eh?""<br/><br/>""Save that ammo for China."" Vasily said.<br/><br/>""China."" Sahle grabbed on to that word. He thought of the innkeepers he had met on their way from Georgia. ""Why are you here? I thought there was a war.""<br/><br/>""The Russian Republic is at war. Volgograd does not accept the Republic.""<br/><br/>""China is trying to take all of Russia, isn't it? That is what I have been hearing. Aren't you worried?""<br/><br/>Sorokin's face became grave. ""Yes. We are worried. If the Chinese cross the Volga, the Republic will disintegrate over night. But the Republic will not accept the Confederation as an ally, only as a supplicant, so we do nothing to help them.""<br/><br/>""Then what do you do?""<br/><br/>""We protect our assets. We sit on what we have, the precious things that we have, and we preserve them.""<br/><br/>The rest of the meeting was a dull affair. Sorokin insisted that Sahle stay and watch his daughter recite music on the violin. The little girl was good, but her song was low and slow, like the wailing of a lonely old woman in the quiet of her hut. It seemed so out of place here - not only the music, but the girl herself. She was like the idealized child: wide eyed, and truly happy. Happiness has no place in this desperate country, where no happiness had been reported since the death of the Tsar. But there it was, playing the violin, a braid hanging across it's shoulder.<br/><br/>While she played, a woman came in and served them dinner. They had veal cutlets covered in a smooth cheese sauce, served with pickled cabbage. The Colonel eagerly poured everybody another round of vodka. Sahle was starting to feel calm now, but he was not hungry. He nibbled at his food to be polite. He hardly ate half before it was time to go back to the infirmary and sleep. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sahle was back in the Dead Man's drink again, in the version where the stage and the room extended infinitely into the dark. The stage-lights turned on, with the sound of the switch echoing heavy in the long emptiness. Three harsh circles of yellow light landed at the center of the stage. <br/><br/>Colonel Sorokin and his daughter materialized in the light. Both wore ruffled military fatigues and polished top hats, and they had the psychotic smiles of greenhorn showmen. A jazz band mocked the sound of a calliope from somewhere off stage, among the black that consumed the rest of the world.<br/><br/>""Friends, Brothers, Mother's Uncles!"" Sorokin chimed. His voice was his own, but his words recalled all of the half-baked performances Sahle had seen choke it out at the real Dead Man's Drink. ""We have a show for you tonight like a candied dessert! I am The Colonelious Sorokin, master of twelve million African mysteries, and this is my resplendent assistant, the regal Regina!"" The little girl smiled wider than should be possible and waved to a nonexistent crowd. Both of them paused for an applause that was not there.<br/><br/>""For our first act of fearful fantasy, we will make a man disappear!"" <br/><br/>It was weird to watch the next part go on without a crowd to react. Regina pulled a squeaking man-sized cabinet across the stage, while the jazzy calliope played just low enough to make the entire thing seem awkward. <br/><br/>""To provide this entertaining entertainment, we will need a volunteer."" Sorokin acted like he was scanning the non-existent audience, and for a moment Sahle was afraid he would be the only option, seeing as he was the only figure actually present in the audience. But, as Sorokin held his hand above his eyes in another overacted performance, a platform was being slowly lowered from somewhere above the stage. Sahle saw this mysterious volunteer emerge gradually from the darkness, starting with their feet, and crawling up so they were like a body slowly falling from a ceiling of viscous pitch. Anxiety grew in Sahle's heart as the person descended. His heart throbbed so loud he could hear it in his ears. When the face was revealed, a fearful confusion struck Sahle. The volunteer was himself - a doppelganger, or an out-of-body apparition. He was watching himself become part of this nightmarish performance. <br/><br/>""What is your name, fine-faced friend?"" Sorokin asked.<br/><br/>""Samel."" the doppelganger said in Sahle's own voice. <br/><br/>""Samel, friends and gentlefriends. Samel is our man.""<br/><br/>""It rhymes with camel."" the doppelganger added, sounding like a fool. There was a drum roll, and a pause for laughter that never came.<br/><br/>""Well then, Samel Camel, if you would be so kind as to follow Regina's lead into the mystical box of disappearance, I will tell a story. Many many years ago, when I traveled to the mysterious islands of Hawaii to learn the secret art of their volcano gods, an old and clever coconut carver stopped me along the road. He told me 'The Gods of the old fires what that are in the earth, they commune in spaces unseen, and a wise man can learn to travel into their netherworld if he is willing to know the way.' So I spent a year living in the old man's coconut hut, and he taught me how to make a box that would allow a man to transport to and from the netherspace."" Sorokin leaned against the box, in which the uncaring doppelganger stood like a dope. ""This is the very box which I constructed. Since those days in the old jungles of Ukulele, I have learned how to transport the unlearned into the netherworld and back using this very same box. I will demonstrate now.""<br/><br/>Regina closed the curtain to the box so suddenly that it made the real Sahle jump. He watched as Sorokin circled the box, tapping at it from time to time. <br/><br/>""Moodle poodle boodle boo, chooger, hooger, googer goo. Open up and take him too!"" After Sorokin was done chanting, he knocked once on the side of the cabinet, and a puff of pink smoke came up behind the cabinet. <br/><br/>In a dramatic swoop, Regina reached for the curtain and pulled it. What was standing there wasn't Sahle's doppelganger any longer, and it was not the emptiness that was promised by the magician Sorokin. It was one of the horse-headed men, with the time-worn face of the horse doll. Sahle tried to scream, but nothing came out.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sahle woke up in a frenzy, and the frenzy was not his own. Vasily was standing over him, with a thick-shouldered blonde woman just behind. He could hear a clatter in the hallways. It sounded like dozens of footsteps, and boxes being thrown about, and metal clanging against metal. <br/><br/>""Get out of that bed, my Imperial friend. We are moving.""<br/><br/>""What?""<br/><br/>""Moving."" Vasily pulled him by the arm. ""Follow.""<br/><br/>He hardly had time to get dressed before he was nudged into the hustle in the hall. The barrack was full of armed soldiers moving with a casual haste. All of the paranoia Sahle had been suppressing started to come back. He was like a prisoner on his way to execution. <br/><br/>""Where are you taking me?"" he choked on the words as he said them. <br/><br/>""Do not be a dramatic Emperor. We are going on a journey.""<br/><br/>""Where?""<br/><br/>""You will know. You will know when you are told.""<br/><br/>""Why won't you tell me?"" <br/><br/>Vasily's only reply was an ornery chuckle.<br/><br/>They left the building into the morning air, where the courtyard was as active as the halls of the barracks. The summer sun was beginning to warm the humidity. A grey, wet mist obscured the horizon, and made the walls of the Kremlin a hazy line on the edge of vision.<br/><br/>There was an armored truck, like a half-track tank. It had an open auto-cannon turret on top that was just large enough for one person to sit in it. A couple of unarmored trucks accompanied it. It was the kick of their engines, and the rugged chatter of motorcycles, that overwhelmed all other sounds in that morning courtyard. But sound was not what caught Sahle's attention. He was most interested in the ten-something men on horseback. The men looked like soldiers, with pine-green fatigues and a mixture of similar colored caps, fur ushkanka's, and hats like furry cakes. Most grew facial hair, so that there were great wiry beards, and stubbly beards with thick mustaches, and the poor facial growth of youth, all represented by the group. <br/><br/>The blonde woman climbed into the top of the truck and manned the turret. From out of a nearby door, Colonel Sorokin and his daughter left the barracks with a formidable guard surrounding them. Sorokin and Regina both wore starched pine-green dress uniforms.<br/><br/>""Colonel."" Vasily saluted. ""It smells like horse shit and petrol, sir.""<br/><br/>Sorokin did not look pleased. He had something on his mind; Sahle could see it in his eyes, and in the creases on his forehead. ""The smell is uncomfortable. So is this visit. I do not like it.""<br/><br/>""I think you have to get out more. Astrakhan is a hot place. It has made you lethargic, sir.""<br/><br/>""It is not that."" Sorokin sniffed. He looked at Sahle and smiled weakly. ""I am sorry for waking you.""<br/><br/>""What is happening?"" Sahle strained to maintain his decorum. <br/><br/>""We are going to the city of Volgograd, a council has been called.""<br/><br/>""About me?""<br/><br/>Sorokin shook his head. ""No. Nobody will know about you. Only a trifling number of people here know your identity, so do not go blurting it out. I have no interest in returning you to your brother, but not everybody in Russia is so honorable. Now come, ride with me. We will go in the big truck.""<br/><br/>And so they climbed in. The door screeched, heavy metal struggling at its hinges. Sahle sat in front with Vasily, while Sorokin and Regina found a place in the bowel of the truck along with their guards. A windshield of fat glass protected them in the front.<br/><br/>They started to move. Their convoy plodded out of the gates, flanked by the horses and the motorcycles, and they crossed through silent Astrakhan with its worn-out wooden houses and churches like brooding watchtowers above crumbled streets. They crossed the Volga, as thick as a lake, and entered into the flatland on the western end. They were heading northwest. Sahle tried to memorize this land, but there were no landmarks for him to focus on. It was as flat as the Danakil in his homeland. With nothing to keep his attention, and the sun coming out from the mists, Sahle became drowsy. His eyes grew heavy. Somewhere, between one forgettable expanse of dry nothingness and another flat expanse of dry nothingness, Sahle began to nap.<br/><br/></div>"

Joyce had crept home a little past midnight. The thoughts had gnawed at the Prime Minister the whole evening and he’d afforded himself an early night to keep them at bay. It was three o’clock in the morning and for the second time in as many weeks the shrill ring of a phone interrupted the Prime Minister’s sleep. A groan left Fraser’s throat and his eyes opened slowly as he lifted himself from his bed and reached for the phone. It was Hobbs. At this time of night it was only ever going to be Hobbs. If the Director of Communications was calling in the dead of the night it meant one thing and one thing only: bad news. The last thing Fraser Campbell needed was <span class=""bb-i"">more</span> bad news.  <br/><br/>Campbell’s gruff voice slunk down the receiver. “What do you want? It’s late.”<br/><br/>The response from the other side of the phone elicited a heavy sigh and one of Fraser’s chubby hands reached for the bridge of his nose.<br/><br/>“How many are dead?”<br/><br/>It was South Africa. That mess that the Palace had <span class=""bb-i"">insisted</span> upon dragging Britain into had caused Fraser headache after headache. Tonight’s headache sounded particularly gruesome. A platoon had stumbled upon some murdered British ex-pats in Cape Town. They’d been trussed up like animals, hung from the ceiling of a shack, with some warning smeared beside them. On the end of the line Hobbs hesitated to recount the dead and Fraser’s temper wore thin.<br/><br/>“How many, Hobbs?”<br/><br/>Nineteen. Six in the first shack, four more in the next, and then nine crammed into the last one. It was too many to ignore and <span class=""bb-i"">definitely</span> too many to sweep under the carpet. It would need a response. Beside him Joyce stirred from her sleep by her husband’s conversation.<br/><br/>“What’s wrong?”<br/><br/>She was beautiful, even in the dead of the night, though Fraser could barely look at her knowing where he’d been earlier in the night. He placed a comforting hand on her side and smiled at his wife curtly as he directed his mouth away from the receiver of the phone.<br/><br/>“Go back to sleep, Joyce.”<br/><br/>Hobbs continued to regale Fraser with the details and the Prime Minister lifted the phone from the bedside table. He pulled on a robe and sat in an armchair on the opposite side of the room with the phone resting on his lap. <br/><br/>“This is the last thing we fucking need,” Fraser sighed. “Fine, call round the cabinet and tell them I’ll be holding an emergency meeting in the Cabinet Office in the morning. I expect all of them there and I expect them all there on time. Now that whole business with Oldfield is behind us this week is to be about the passage of the Repatriation Bill and nothing else. So we need to nip this mess in Cape Town in the bud before it’s even started.”<br/><br/>The Prime Minister’s Director of Communications mumbled in agreement on the other side of the phone. Without his glasses Fraser couldn’t make out the hands on the clock face on the wall beside him and squinted hard at them. Slowly the blurred clock face came into focus and Fraser realised it was half three. He stood up from the armchair and took one last glance at his wife before he muttered down the phone.<br/><br/>“Meet me in an hour in my office.”<br/><br/>It had been one thing after another this past month. Oldfield, Clarke, that mess with Hewitt and the Police Commissioner, and now he had this situation in South Africa to contend with. Fraser’s grip on power was tenuous enough, it would be even more so if he couldn’t pass the Voluntary Repatriations Bill tomorrow afternoon, and Moore would no doubt make the most of British ex-pats being murdered on Fraser’s watch. As much as he was ashamed to admit it facing Moore this morning worried him the most of all. Moore had cuckolded him his entire life in every way but one and now Fraser’s humiliation was complete. Moore had taken that which Campbell loved the most. It would take all the Prime Minister had to look him in his smug face tomorrow morning.<br/><br/>But he would. He would look them <span class=""bb-i"">all</span> in the face, all those that had doubted him to this point, and continue to prove them wrong. He’d lead the country to a better future or die trying.<br/><br/>Or it would have all been for nothing.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Guildford, Surrey</span><br/><br/>Fraser Campbell’s voice sounded in the living room of Dominic Hewitt’s childhood home. Hewitt had come back to Guildford for a few days to visit his parents now that he had some time on his hands. He didn’t come home often, in large part because of his father, but his mother had been asking after him for so long it felt rude to put his visit off for much longer. With Hewitt losing his job at Downing Street his mother was <span class=""bb-i"">particularly</span> concerned about him. Everyone seemed concerned about him. He’d studied his entire life to make it to Downing Street and now all of that was gone. He couldn’t blame them for being concerned. Though having been at the heart of government and see it for the viper’s nest that it was the former Press Officer felt relieved at having made it out. Hobbs would have eaten him alive eventually – better that it happened when he was young and could still make something of himself than when he was past it. That’s what he’d been telling himself since Campbell had let him go. He’d told himself it so much he’d almost started to believe it.<br/><br/>There had been a slew of murders in Cape Town. The Prime Minister had announced that he’d be sending more ground troops to South Africa. It was a good call, one Hewitt would have argued for in Downing Street, and it would put the matter to bed for a time. Only for a time though. South Africa was a ticking time bomb. Britain needed to win and win decisively or people were going to turn against the campaign.<br/><br/>“What’s wrong, Dominic?”<br/><br/>From behind him Hewitt noticed his mother stood at the kitchen counter looking at him with a sympathetic smile. Diane Hewitt was a curvaceous woman in her late fifties with blonde hair that was rapidly greying over the past few years. She was Dominic’s rock in hard times. She’d notice the frown on her son’s face before he’d even realised it was there.<br/><br/>“Nothing’s wrong, mother, I guess it just hasn’t really sunk in yet that… that I’m on the outside looking in. You know? This time last week I would have been in the room drafting the PM’s statement and now I’m watching it on the television like everyone else. I’m a nobody all over again.”<br/><br/>Diane shook her head at her son’s pessimism. “You are not a nobody, Dominic.”<br/><br/>The grating laugh of Nigel Hewitt sounded from beside Dominic. Nigel was a heavy man with a full head of blonde-grey hair and a craggy face. There was an uncanny resemblance between Dominic in his father that people often remarked upon. Had his father not let himself go in his twilight years they would have been hard to tell apart if not for the wrinkles. Like Dominic he was always <span class=""bb-i"">incredibly</span> well turned out. He was wearing a light blue jumper with a white shirt underneath, some chinos, and a pair of light brown brogues. In his hand was a glass of brandy that he sipped at from time to time. Nigel was a very different kind of rock to his son. In fact, he was his son’s rock <span class=""bb-i"">and</span> his hard place at times. The past few days had proved to be one of those times.<br/><br/>“Stop molly-coddling the child. He very much is a bloody nobody, Diane. Hundreds of thousands of pounds pissed down the drain all because <span class=""bb-i"">someone</span> decided to play the big shot whilst his boss was out.”<br/><br/>Diane sighed at her husband’s unpleasantness. “Please, Nigel, there’s no need for that.”<br/><br/>The whole family had endured Nigel Hewitt’s complete lack of regard for their feelings for decades. Four decades working for British Petroleum had made the once soft-spoken and gentle Nigel into an unforgiving man. Hewitt wasn’t sure he’d ever seen his father smile. He’d long since become used to his father’s antics.<br/><br/>“It’s fine, mother.”<br/><br/>“See?” Nigel said as he took a sip of brandy. “You heard the child.”<br/><br/>Diane Hewitt shook her head once more and disappeared into the kitchen. Once Nigel was certain she was out of earshot he leant in closer to his son. Dominic could smell the brandy on his father’s breath as his lips parted.<br/><br/>“At least you’re not thin-skinned, boy, I’ll give you that. You’re going to need a tough hide on you if you’re going to make it after that cock-up of yours, I’ll tell you that much for free. I’ll be damned if the Hewitt name is going to be pissed down the river because of you. You know, generations ago the Hewitts were revered. The Troubles damn near ruined us, ruined <span class=""bb-i"">everything</span> the Hewitts worked at for generations, and through sweat and blood I managed to claw back every inch of respect we were owed. Your father did that, boy, your father made this family great again. Never forget that.”<br/><br/>There was some truth to his father’s tale. Once upon a time the Hewitts had been as close to royalty as one could be without actually being royalty in Britain. If his late grandfather was to be believed they had been royalty once. The Troubles hadn’t “ruined” the family though. The family fortune had reduced from the hundreds of millions to the tens of millions. That’s what passed for ruin in Nigel Hewitt’s book. British Petroleum had gone from strength to strength over the past few decades. North Sea oil and expansion into Africa and the Middle East had saw to that. Yet still Nigel Hewitt took every opportunity to remind his son he single-handedly saved the Hewitt name.<br/><br/>This one time Dominic refused to humour his father and instead smiled wryly at him. “How could I? You tell the same story every time I see you.”<br/><br/>His father’s face turned purple with rage.<br/><br/>“You don’t take that tone with me, you ungrateful little sh-”<br/><br/>Before the words had left his mouth Diane Hewitt appeared from within the kitchen. She snatched the remote from the arm of Nigel Hewitt’s armchair and took the glass of brandy from between his fingers. On her soft round face sat a deep frown.<br/><br/>“It’s been one day and <span class=""bb-i"">already</span> the pair of you are arguing. I will not have it, not from either of you, especially not after the year this family has had. You’re going to have to learn to peacefully coexist. Do you hear me?”<br/><br/>Dominic nodded in his mother’s direction. Nigel sat deadly still and stared at his wife in silence. After several seconds he extended his hand towards his wife and spoke in a voice that was as menacing as it was gentle.<br/><br/>“The remote, Diane.”<br/><br/>Diane Hewitt handed the remote over to her husband without a word and disappeared off into the house without another word. Nigel pointed the remote at the television and turned the volume up a few bars. Once he was satisfied he set the remote back down on the side of the armchair and sat back into his seat.<br/><br/>After several seconds he looked to his son with a smirk. “Look on the bright side, boy, you won’t have to see that quisling bastard’s face every morning anymore.”<br/><br/>“Fraser was always nice to me,” Hewitt muttered as he spotted the pale man passing a Downing Street windows. “Hobbs was the problem.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham</span><br/><br/>Opposite from Honor Clarke an elderly man with thinning white hair slurped from a cup of tea. Iain Blaney was the closest thing that Honor had to a father figure since losing contact with her father other a decade ago. Blaney had nurtured Honor will to learn, her desire for change, and moulded her into the firebrand she had become. Blaney had once been the Director of <span class=""bb-i"">The Putney Society</span> at which Honor now worked. The Society argued for greater legal and political representation for ordinary people and making the legal system and the trappings of government more transparent. It had over the years transformed into an anti-war pressure group that nibbled at the fringes of republicanism. Never was its support for a republic stated outright or the group would have long since been shut down and those arrested. Yet with Clarke at the forefront of its work it had come closer than ever before. It was something that concerned Blaney but Clarke had assured him she knew what she was doing. Honor always knew what she was doing.<br/><br/>The old man peered up from his tea at the television in the corner of the café. The Prime Minister was on screen and on the ticker at the bottom there were details about the attack in South Africa that Blaney’s old eyes could not make out. Clarke looked over her shoulder at the screen and scowled.<br/><br/>“How many dead this time?”<br/><br/>Honor squinted towards the screen to make out the numbers. “Nineteen.”<br/><br/>Blaney sighed.<br/><br/>“This is what happens. We <span class=""bb-i"">told</span> them at the time that they would regret invading South Africa, that there would be trouble, but did they listen? No, they did not. The King wanted his Empire back and Campbell rolled over for him and let him scratch his stomach. Now we’re all less safe as a result.”<br/><br/>Honor glanced around at the café’s other patrons and then towards Iain. “You should be careful with that kind of talk.”<br/><br/>A shocked look appeared on the old man’s face. “Careful? Who are you and what have you done with Honor Clarke? I didn’t realise that mess with your flat had shaken you so much.”<br/><br/>“It’s not that. Conrad and I aren’t on good terms at the moment.”<br/><br/>Conrad Murray had been another of Blaney’s endless protégés. He wasn’t quite the intellect that Clarke was but there was something to him. Blaney had been disappointed when he’d chosen to pursue teaching instead of following in Iain and Honor footsteps. Though Honor was a once in a lifetime orator and as good a polemicist as Blaney had ever met – she was still coloured. That wasn’t an issue for the old man, far from it, but it did make it somewhat harder to change people’s minds. Oftentimes they would harden at the very sight of Clarke. Murray could have been <span class=""bb-i"">The Putney Society’</span>s acceptable face. Instead he opted to become an irrelevancy.<br/><br/>To that end Blaney had little nice to say of the boy and shrugged his shoulders casually by way of an answer. “I’m sure he’ll come round.”<br/><br/>“How are the preparations for the march going?”<br/><br/>The march. It was the reason Blaney was here this morning. The Putney Society and what remnants of an anti-war movement remained in Britain had planned a march against British involvement in South Africa next week. <br/><br/>“Things are coming on very nicely,” Blaney said with a smile. “We’re expecting a thousand people, maybe a little more, and that’s just from Birmingham. If Manchester and Liverpool are good to their word we might manage to break five thousand.”<br/><br/>Clarke stared off into the distance, her thoughts centered on her argument with Conrad, and the accusation he’d leveled at her the other night. Posturing. Was it all posturing? Was she wasting her time? She had been asking herself that ever since. Usually Clarke’s resolve was unshakeable but to hear that from the man she loved had made her question herself for the first time in a long time. What good would some march do? Campbell had no intention of pulling out of South Africa. <br/><br/>Blaney sensed a doubt in her and stared hard at Clarke. “What’s wrong? You’re not having second thoughts, are you?”<br/><br/>She wanted to put word to her doubts but met with the glassy eyes of her mentor she crumpled.<br/><br/>“No, of course not.”<br/><br/>It couldn’t be posturing. If the march they had planned was posturing, if the protest at the police station the other day was posturing, then <span class=""bb-i"">everything</span> Honor did had been a waste of time. She would have wasted years of her life. No, the march would go ahead and she would show Conrad that he was wrong. It wasn’t posturing. It was real change. They were going to make their voices heard even if Fraser Campbell and his government didn’t want them to.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>Simone Gayle watched as the heavy-set man in the Harrington jacket stared down at the flowers gathered on the ground of Angell Town estate. Her father had tried to hide her from what had happened here but Simone had heard all about it at school. A policeman had been shot. She wasn’t sure whether the fat man knew the policeman or was just here to lay flowers like the other people that had passed through this morning. She glanced over towards her father lifting boxes up and down the estate’s stairway and then wandered over to the fat man. Simone stopped beside him and looked down at the flowers before turning towards the man.<br/><br/>“Are you lost?”<br/><br/>The man jumped as if unaware of Simone’s presence. “Lost? No, I’m not lost. I’m here to visit a friend.”<br/><br/>“Me too,” Simone said with a point towards Keenan Gayle struggling up the stairs with their possession in hand. “Dad says we’re going to stay with one of his friends until we can find somewhere else to live.”<br/><br/>The fat man smiled uncomfortably and looked towards Simone’s father as if trying to catch the man’s attention. His gestured went unnoticed and instead he tucked his hands into his pockets and decided to humour the girl.<br/><br/>“What happened to your old place?”<br/><br/>“The tall man from the council took it from us,” Simone said with a kick to the ground. “He said that now that Uncle Errol is dead we have to find someplace else.”<br/><br/>There in the man’s eyes was a flicker or something. Simone was too young to recognise it but had she been a few years older she would have. The fat man had heard the name before. <br/><br/>“Errol <span class=""bb-i"">Clarke</span>?”<br/><br/>As the young girl opened her mouth to answer she heard her father’s voice shouting in her direction. “Simone? Simone? What are you doing? You leave that man alone.”<br/><br/>Keenan Gayle handed a box to his friend and cantered towards his daughter and the man. There were flickers of paint along his clothing and his boots were thick with dust. He was strong, taller than the fat man by several inches, but clearly still young. He took his daughter by the arm as he reached her and pulled her behind him with a nervous smile.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry about Simone. She’s too nosy for her own good sometimes,” Gayle said with a chuckle. “Do you live round here?”<br/><br/>The fat man smiled and gestured down towards the flowers beside them. “No, no, I just came to pay my respects.”<br/><br/>A pained expression crossed Keenan’s face as he considered what had happened to James Oldfield. His daughter watched on, curious to see how her father interacted with a white man, and looked to the picture of the murdered policeman at the center of the makeshift mural.<br/><br/>“It’s a damn shame. Don’t get me wrong I’m no friend of the police but what they did to that boy was awful. No one deserves to die like that.”<br/><br/>The fat man nodded in agreement as he too looked down the picture. “You can say that again.”<br/><br/>There was a sadness in the fat man’s eyes. Even at Simone’s tender age she could see it. He looked at the picture as if the slain man were a relative of some sort. Keenan and the man stood in silence for several seconds before eventually Gayle cleared his throat to cut through it.<br/><br/>“What did you say your name was again?”<br/><br/>“It’s Ray,” muttered the fat man as he extended his hand towards Keenan. “Ray Newman.”<br/><br/>Keenan and smiled and shook the Newman’s hand. “Nice to meet you, Ray, my name’s Keenan. You’ve already met Simone. We used to live over on Moorlands Estate but we’re between houses at the moment and a friend offered us a place to stay for a little while. Just until we’re back on our feet again.”<br/><br/>“Yeah, Simone mentioned something about an Uncle Errol.”<br/><br/>This time it was Simone’s father that fell silent.<br/><br/>“She… she did?” Keenan said as he looked down at his daughter with a disapproving frown. “Well, she should have known better than to talk out of turn like that but as I said the girl’s too nosy for her own good sometimes. It’s going to get her in trouble one of these days.”<br/><br/>A sympathetic smile appeared on Newman’s face. “What happened?”<br/><br/>“Same thing that happened to your friend,” Keenan said with a shrug. “God had another purpose for him in mind and called him up to heaven earlier than we expected.”<br/><br/>“It <span class=""bb-i"">wasn’t</span> God,” Simone muttered from behind her father’s arm. “They killed him.”<br/><br/>“Simone,” Keenan barked as he commanded his daughter into silence.<br/><br/>It was clear that talk of Clarke’s murder had made Gayle uncomfortable and he gestured towards the boxes that awaited him.<br/><br/>“Listen, Ray, it was nice to meet you but we need to get back to unpacking our things. We’re up at 12D, okay? Stop by sometime for a cup of tea or something.”<br/><br/>Newman’s round face grew red with embarrassment and he removed a hand from his pockets to scratch at his neck. “Ah, well that’s very nice of you but I don’t actually live around here.”<br/><br/>Keenan shrugged his shoulders. His awkwardness seemed to have passed somewhat and he smiled at Newman encouragingly as muttered to his daughter to make her way towards the boxes.<br/><br/>“Yeah, well, you seem to know the area well enough and Simone seems to like you so consider the offer open-ended.”<br/><br/>As Simone wandered over to the boxes she waved towards Ray with a smile. “Goodbye, Mr. Newman.”<br/><br/>Keenan and Ray shook hands again and Gayle followed after his daughter to resume their task. Ray Newman stood alone, staring at the flowers that had been laid in memory of James Oldfield, and considered the advice that Alice Oldfield had given him at Oldfield’s memorial service. He could still help people even when he wasn’t in the uniform. People like Keenan and Simone. Even if they were… coloureds they were still people and they needed help too. James would have helped them in a heartbeat and Ray could still help them. He could go to Paul and tell them to work the case properly or even better he could work it himself for them. It wasn’t like he had anything better to do with himself at the moment. He looked towards the father and daughter struggling with their boxes and made a silent promise. Not to them but to James Oldfield. He was going to help them.<br/><br/>Ray was going to bring Errol Clarke’s murderer to justice.</div>"

Around the house were firefighters cleaning up wreckage while the Adams County Sheriff's Department handled the bodies. Six tarp-covered bodies lay on the grass beside the house, four of the tarps were so much bigger than the tiny bodies they covered. Under those six tarps was the entire Johnson family. The firemen found Shelby and the children in the cellar, dead from smoke inhalation. Boyd was thankful they had died before the fire touched them. Will Johnson wasn't so lucky. They found him strung up on the live oak beside the house while the fire blazed. The man's face was beaten into pulp so much so that they were just assuming it was Will since it was his house and his family in the fire.<br/><br/>The sheriff's department also handled crowd control around the crime scene. What seemed like the entire black community of Adams County stood on the other side of the cordon. Plenty were yelling and protesting and singing their songs, but plenty still just looked on in some kind of stupor. It looked to Boyd like a sense of defeat so acute that it bordered on heartbreak. Those were the people's gaze whom Boyd hated meeting the most. He could handle outrage and anger, but he could not stand to see that soulless gaze from the people who could not comprehend the scope of the violence.<br/><br/>""Boyd!""<br/><br/>Terry Wilkerson, Adams County Sheriff, ambled over to Boyd with a dribble of tobacco juice on his lip. <br/><br/>""What are you doing here, son? Ain't no charges been filed yet.""<br/><br/>""A phone call woke me up,"" he said softly. ""I had to see it for myself.""<br/><br/>""Me and my deputies will do what we can to see that those who committed this crime are arrested,"" said Wilkerson. ""Then we'll let you take it from there, counselor.""<br/><br/>Boyd was just one of a half-dozen junior lawyers working for the Sixth District Attorney of Mississippi. Adams County and three other adjacent counties made up the Sixth District. A native of Adams County and the most experienced of the DA's prosecutors, Boyd was Assistant District Attorney responsible for all prosecutions in Adams County.<br/><br/>""I want my own investigators involved in this one,"" said Boyd. ""People I can trust.""<br/><br/>Wilkerson snorted and spat a wad of tobacco juice at Boyd's feet. His three hundred dollar loafers nearly ruined by thirty-five cent chaw. ""I don't think I like your tone, son.""<br/><br/>""Too goddamn bad, sheriff."" Boyd thrust a finger towards Wilkerson. ""For weeks y'all been getting reports from negroes in the county about threats of violence and you just sat on your asses. As soon as I get back to the DA's office, I will request state and federal assistance on this one.""<br/><br/>Wilkerson's already ruddy face went even redder, a shade of beet red mixed with purple. He slapped Boyd's finger away with his pudgy hand and pushed his face up into Boyd's personal space. Boyd could smell the tobacco on Wilkerson's breath and felt spittle hit his chin as the sheriff hissed his warning.<br/><br/>""You goddamn Raffertys are all the same! Just because your granddaddy made all that money, you think you're better than the rest of the county, you think you can talk to anyone like you damn well please. You ain't gonna talk to me like that.""<br/><br/>""Sheriff.""<br/><br/>Wilkerson stepped back just as Boyd was preparing to swing his balled fist into the sheriff's face. Instead, he took a deep breath and watched the fat man amble away in the wake of his deputy. Boyd followed after them to see what was going on. The crowd on the other side of the crime scene tape parted as two young men carried an unconscious elderly woman towards the tape.<br/><br/>""We need an ambulance,"" one of them shouted. ""Mrs. Tillman done fainted.""<br/><br/>""Y'all gonna have to get a car for her,"" Wilkerson told the crowd. ""We can't put her in an ambulance. Adams county ain't got any for coloreds.""<br/><br/>An angry murmur went through the crowd. The last thing these people needed to be reminded of was segregation and how the people that were supposed to protect them had no place for them.<br/><br/>""Here,"" Boyd said as he tossed his keys to the deputy beside Wilkerson. ""Take my car. If the county government won't provide for, then I'll help.""<br/><br/>Wilkerson looked long and hard at Boyd before spitting on the ground. Slowly, two deputies helped the young men carry the old lady through the crowd to Boyd's car. The angry murmur seemed to grow. Boyd heard more shouts and yells and protest before--<br/><br/>""We don't need to be here,"" someone from the crowd yelled.<br/><br/>The people seemed to stir and give a wide berth to someone in the center. Boyd stood on his tip toes and saw a man he recognized standing in the middle, his arms up and speaking loudly. James Calhoun, that was his name. Boyd had never met the man, but he remembered him from the protest at the courthouse a few months ago.<br/><br/>""All we're seeing here is a reminder of how powerless we are. It does nothing but makes us angry, which we have every right to be. Six people are dead, four of them children. And who speaks for them? Look around and see who all is here besides us. You got the sheriff, Mr. Rafferty, and a few deputies and that's it. If this were a white family, not even a rich one like Mr Rafferty's family, the sheriff's department would be all over this place like a fly on a cow pie. Will Johnson was a good man, but I'm afraid he and his family will not get their justice. That's why we need to leave, because if we stay here we realize the truth. Justice does not exist for our kind. In Mississippi, justice is for white people.""<br/><br/>The crowd let out claps and amens at Calhoun's words. <br/><br/>""We need to all pray, not for Will and Shelby and the children, because I rightfully believe they're in a better place. I rightfully believe that they are in heaven, at the side of a God who loves everyone regardless of the color of their skin. No, we need to pray for Sheriff Wilkerson and Mr. Rafferty and all the other white people of Adams County that decide who gets justice and who doesn't. Because we've seen this here before many times, and we know the end result. We know justice will not visit those who committed this heinous act. So pray, pray that God touches their hearts and shows them the light.""<br/><br/>The crowd whooped and let out more amens. Boyd caught Calhoun's eye. Calhoun stared straight ahead at him, seemingly looking through him. In these parts, that was the most condemning stare a negro could give and get away with. Boyd couldn't look at him and instead stared down at his feet. He felt ridiculous in his three hundred dollar loafers and five hundred dollar suit. Calhoun was right. Despite his money and his Ivy League education, Boyd was part of the system whose inaction silently condoned atrocities like what happened to the Johnson family. <br/><br/>Sheriff Wilkerson spat another glob of brown liquid towards the cheering and chanting crowd. Boyd saw hate in the man's flushed face. He knew he made the right decision by asking for the help of state and federal agents. Wilkerson would never seriously investigate this case. He'd already made his mind up that justice would not be given to the Johnson family. <br/><br/>""Hey, sheriff,"" Boyd said as he walked over.<br/><br/>The fat man turned his head just in time to catch Boyd's left hook square in the jaw. Spit and blood and tobacco juice went flying into the air as Wilkerson crumpled to the ground like a leaf. He muttered something and stared up at Boyd with wide eyes and a crazed look on his face.<br/><br/>""I can talk to you any goddamn way I please,"" Boyd adjusted his cufflinks and spoke softly. ""I'm a Rafferty. I can buy and sell your cracker ass a hundred times over if I want. You work for the people of Adams County and you work for me. Don't forget that. If I find out you're obstructing this case or impeding its progress in any way, I will use all my wealth and influence to have you run out of office and run out of this county.""<br/><br/>Wilkerson held on to his swollen jaw as he spoke. ""You son of a bitch. I'll kill you for this.""<br/><br/>""Try me,"" Boyd said as he stepped over him. ""And I'm taking your car, sheriff. I need a ride back into town since those boys took that old colored lady in my car. You can catch a ride with one of your deputies.""</div>"

Sierras of marbled yellow-brown sandstone eclipsed the descending sun, casting their long and wicked shadows across orange dune fields between the mountains. The cool silhouette of a ridge to the East rose up the craggy facets of a giant mesa situated betwixt the mountains and ridges - the mass of stone the Spanish colonizers had named La Cabeza. And in the shadows of this mighty head, Julio Zuraban made his move.<br/><br/>Julio, clad in one of the spare fatigues recovered from the commandeered gunship they had arrived in, drew no suspicion when he went to fetch one of the flatbed cargo buggy beneath a parking awning nearby. Five such vehicles were neatly parked underneath a roof of corrugated aluminum, sheltered from the sun and wind-driven sand. Julio selected one buggy with a number of large wooden crates and pallets strewn about the bed, and was thankful indeed to find a set of keys laying on the driver's seat. Armenian fighters had shown Julio how to hotwire vehicles during his years in self-exile as a war correspondent; but the first time he attempted it without the guidance of those crack guerrillas was what had gotten Julio into this mess in the first place. He turned the key over and breathed a sigh of relief as the buggy started without issue.<br/><br/>The senator-in-exile returned to the helipad and parked alongside the stolen Barracuda, its rotors still winding down from flight. Graciela, Joaquin, and the other Spaniards leapt out of the chopper and set about prying open the crates and removing their contents so that a handful of armed stowaways could hide within the crates.<br/><br/>""Hurry,"" Dejene commanded as he peered out cautiously from within the helicopter. ""I have no doubt that our arrival here was noticed by air traffic control. I would not be surprised if they have sent someone to investigate why we almost had a collision with one of those airplanes."" The Ethiopian's eyes darted all around, ensuring that they had not drawn any attention. If the forces in command of La Cabeza saw the African, the cover for their rescue mission would certainly be blown, and so Dejene took every precaution to keep himself out of sight of passing vehicles.<br/><br/>Graciela dug fistfuls of wadding material out of the largest crate while Joaquin and another Spanish collaborator whose name Julio had not yet committed to memory hefted he crate's contents - a large pump mechanism - into the Barracuda and out of sight. With the large crate empty, Dejene crawled inside with three commandeered assault rifles in his arms while Graciela replaced the top behind him.<br/><br/>""Cozy in there?"" she teased.<br/><br/>""Don't worry about me,"" the humorless Ethiopian commando's muffled voice replied, ""so long as no one saw me, all is well.""<br/><br/>Soon thereafter, the other Spanish collaborators found cramped hiding spots nestled within large crates just as Dejene had. Graciela spent a few moments ensuring the contents of the buggy's bed did not look suspicious before taking the front seat beside Julio while Joaquin took one of the back seats.<br/><br/>""Everyone comfortable?"" Graciela asked. A chorus of disembodied 'no's grumbled from within the crates.<br/><br/>""That's unfortunate, but you must be still and quiet anyway. We're in the viper's pit now, and if we attract attention at the wrong moment, it'll be the end of us.""<br/><br/>""Now <span class=""bb-i"">that</span> makes me feel comfortable."" Joaquin added snarkily.<br/><br/>""Consider it motivation to not botch this thing."" Graciela responded. ""Let's not waste any more time, get us in there, Julio."" With that, Julio eased off the helipad and onto a gravel driveway before falling in behind a string of tanker trucks that rumbled past while merging onto a paved road that looped around the base of the mesa.<br/><br/>Stretching beyond the right shoulder of the road, the cool shadows of the mountains were settling quickly over the land. The brightest of the twilight stars came out of hiding now that the sun had departed the sky. Julio was glad for the cover of night; he hoped that the suspicious eyes of La Cabeza's security forces would miss unusual things about him and his companions that would give them pause in broad daylight. And beyond this expansive facility, in the deserts and shadowy ranges to the northeast, Julio knew that the Amghar and his rebel army of Tuaregs moved now against the facility as well.<br/><br/>The indigenous Tuareg of North Africa had been dealt more than their fair share of misfortune at the hands of the Spanish who had come to rule their land. For a decade, Spanish oil companies incited tribal warfare among the various Bedouin tribes of the region to distract them from the prospectors and exploratory oil wells spreading across the deserts. When Spanish oil interests found themselves dissatisfied with the results of engineered fratricide, they elicited mercenaries and soldiers to quietly dispose of the bothersome Saracens - but apparently not quietly enough to keep the Ethiopian spy network from noticing. Sensing a potential to incite unrest in North Africa, the Ethiopians had been sending agent-provocateurs like Dejene to advise and arm the indigenous populations for some time. Dejene himself had been in the region long enough to sense something remarkably nefarious was at work when Spanish forces began capturing the remaining Bedouin and transporting them to La Cabeza instead of simply dispatching them. Those Tuareg under the command of the Amghar, fueled by vengeance and armed with the most dangerous weaponry the Ethiopians could smuggle through the unguarded Saharan frontier, would do bloody work tonight.<br/><br/>But it would never be enough.<br/><br/>Julio happened to glance up the sheer face of the mesa. Red sandstone rose hundreds of feet into a sky pocked with dim twilight stars. Nestled within fissures in the stone, Julio saw the tri-barreled cannon batteries aiming out across the basin. Even from such distance and height, their size was manifest. If La Cabeza were an island and the surrounding desert a sea, these guns could sink an invading fleet with ease. What could a handful of disguised fighters with little combat experience and a few hundred nomads armed with mismatched hand-me-down weapons hope to do against firepower of that magnitude?<br/><br/>A month ago, Julio might have balked at such terrifying odds, but not tonight. As a senator, Julio had earned Alfonso Sotelo's wrath by opposing the Prime Minister's yes-men in the Spanish Senate. Fabricated claims of Julio's communist leanings forced him to leave the nation in self-exile. He had spent the past three years trying to evade capture and death, running away from the Sotelo until he could run no more. He had been disgraced, beaten, and interrogated at Sotelo's whim. After all of it, part of him wanted to run farther still from Sotelo's reach. But tonight, he had realized fate had granted him the opportunity to exact some tiny revenge for the misdeeds brought upon him and his countrymen. Julio resigned himself to a bloody death tonight, finding comfort in the fact he would take some of his would-be tormentors with him.<br/><br/>The convoy of tank trucks ahead of them slowed to a halt, a pressurized hiss from the brakes sounded from underneath the nondescript tanker in front of their buggy. Nondescript was an understatement - the entire truck had been painted enamel white. There were no identifying marks of any kind on the vehicle, blinking caution lights bathed the rear of the truck in intermittent pink light as it crept forward bit by bit. Graciela craned her head out beyond the buggy to see what had caused traffic to halt.<br/><br/>""What's going on up ahead?"" asked Joaquin.<br/><br/>""I think we've found our entrance into the actual facility. But there's some sort of gate or checkpoint first, and they're inspecting everyone going in.""<br/><br/>""Shit."" Joaquin groaned.<br/><br/>Julio leaned out on his side and saw a line of tanker trucks idling as they waited for instruction from armed soldiers to proceed. Harsh fluorescent light beamed down on a checkpoint straddling a double-perimeter of chainlink fencing crowned in razorwire surrounding a tunnel leading inside the mountain. On a pad of concrete positioned before the gatehouse, Julio could see a flatbed-style truck carrying six or eight yellow forklifts nearly-mummified in ratchet straps. A soldier led a lithe, attentive Doberman on a short leash around the truck, allowing it time to sniff around the vehicle.<br/><br/>Julio swallowed a gulp as he gathered himself back in his seat. Another stint of self-exile suddenly seemed like an attractive option.<br/><br/>""There is no way we are getting through that,"" Julio affirmed.<br/><br/>""Then what the Hell do we do?"" asked Joaquin.<br/><br/>""I only see four guards manning the checkpoint,"" Graciela noted. ""If we kill them, gun it down that tunnel...""<br/><br/>""What about that blast door?"" Joaquin pointed out a massive slab of concrete suspended above the roof of the tunnel into the mesa. ""First sign of trouble, they're going to close that door down on us. If that happens, we're stuck between every Ejercito soldier in North Africa a hard-ass place.""<br/><br/>Despite the inspections, the vehicles ahead were filtering through with surprising speed. As the truck directly ahead of theirs was beckoned forward, Graciela decided a contingency plan would be necessary.<br/><br/>""If you hear two stamps, like this..."" Graciela loudly stamped her boots against the metal floorboard in quick succession, ""then our cover is blown and we'll have to go in with guns blazing."" Graciela explained to the stowaways hidden behind her in the crates.<br/><br/>""Understood."" Dejene's voice came from within his pinewood sarcophagus.<br/><br/>After a few short minutes, the truck ahead of them was cleared to pass into the bowels of La Cabeza, and Julio's cargo buggy was beckoned forward. He gulped and eased slowly into the inspection area, into the focus of the fluorescent mast lamps, and stopped when a stoic-faced soldier armed with an assault rifle extended his open palm and signaled for him to stop. <br/><br/>Once Julio had brought the vehicle to a stop, the soldier approached the back of the buggy. He gave a bored look to the haphazardly placed crates in the bed and made his way to Julio. ""I'll need the manifest for all these items,"" the guard stated, drawing a circle around the crates with a finger.<br/><br/>""Ah yes... the manifest. Right, of course,"" Julio stalled as he dug between the seats desperately for any sheet of paper that might be the one the guarded wanted.<br/><br/>""You either have it or you don't. Where is it?""<br/><br/>Before the guard could call over the dog's handler,  another soldier emerged from the gatehouse, this one armed with a clipboard and pen rather than a FE-74.<br/><br/>""Excuse me, ma'am."" The new soldier said to Graciela. ""You are <span class=""bb-i"">Capitana</span> Sandoval, correct? Here for the audit process?""<br/><br/>Captain Sandoval? Audit? Julio's instinctual reaction was to express that he knew nothing about these things, but Graciela knew to take advantage of this most unlikely reprieve.<br/><br/>""I am her."" Graciela lied without a moment's hesitation.<br/><br/>""My apologies, Captain. I didn't mean to delay you. I understand you're already running late."" The new soldier turned to the guard busy accosting Julio about the manifest documents. ""Let them through, they're here for the audit.""<br/><br/>""Hell, why didn't you say so?"" the armed soldier asked, suddenly becoming almost friendly with with Julio. ""Go ahead it's fine. We don't need to be holding Dr. Guijon up any longer.""<br/><br/>Not about the question the circumstances by which they had avoided the vehicle inspection, Julio drove through the perimeter fence as quickly as he could without drawing suspicion. As their buggy passed through into the cavernous tunnel leading downward into the the earth beneath La Cabeza, Joaquin spoke up once they were out of earshot of any soldiers.<br/><br/>""How the Hell did you know what they were talking about?""<br/><br/>""I don't."" Graciela admitted. ""They mistook me for someone else, but I'm glad they did because we came very close to being found out. Now, we need to make our way somewhere secluded, get out, and find out where they've taken the prisoners.<br/><br/>""I disagree,"" Julio asserted. ""The prisoners can wait. But from the way those soldiers let us through without a second thought, Dr. Guijon can't. We need to see what he wants from us and find out what he knows about this place.""</div>"

FCB agent Bryan Simpson walked down the hotel corridor with Mark Echols hobbling right behind him. The two men stopped outside Simpson's hotel room while the agent got his keys out of his pocket. Echols shifted on his feet impatiently and checked his watch.<br/><br/>""This could have waited,"" said Echols. ""I won't even start on that book tonight. You could have just given it to me tomorrow.""<br/><br/>""Come on in,"" Simpson said with a wink and a smile. <br/><br/>""I'm straight... I don't know if you know that...""<br/><br/>Simpson disappeared into the darkness of his hotel room. Echols grudgingly followed behind him. He was a few steps in when the lights popped on. He blinked and flinched when he saw two men waiting for them in the room. A thin, dark-haired man in a suit and tie sat in the small room's only chair. Standing by his side was Echols savior from the war. Sergeant Silas Crystal.<br/><br/>""Sergeant Echols,"" Crystal said with a playful smile. <br/><br/>""It's Inspector now,"" Echols said quietly. ""I'm out of the service. Like everyone else who served in the NWC armed forces.""<br/><br/>Simpson sat down on his bed and looked up at Echols. ""Mark, I'm sorry about the secrecy. This was the only place I knew we could meet.""<br/><br/>""So this was a setup?"" <br/><br/>""A meeting of the minds,"" the man in the chair said. ""Inspector Echols, I'm Mr. Smith. CIA. From what the sergeant tells me, you and he already have a history.""<br/><br/>""He's the reason why I limp when I walk,"" Echols said cooly. <br/><br/>""I'm also the reason why you have the upper part of your body, Echols.""<br/><br/>The CIA man stood and motioned for Echols to take his seat. When Echols refused, the man just shrugged and walked towards the window. He stood at the window and looked out as he spoke.<br/><br/>""We've been at cross purposes, Inspector. Your investigation and ours.""<br/><br/>""So you're looking for the Friends of Northwest Sovereignty too? Do you want to bring them in or take them out?""<br/><br/>Smith ignored Echols' question and kept talking. ""We're like a pair of blind men trying to cook eggs. We have the frying pan, you have the eggs. By themselves, our puzzle pieces aren't telling either one of us anything. We put them together, then a picture emerges.""<br/><br/>Simpson pulled an envelope from his jacket and laid it on the bed beside him. He looked at Echols before turning towards Smith and Crystal and speaking.<br/><br/>""We got a pair of prints from the Peter Leigh crime scene. One is unknown, but one set matches to a former NWC Army private named Chris Walton. A former university student at Simon Fraser. One of his classmates in a political science class was a Joanna Lockhart. Lockhart matches the description of the woman seen with Leigh shortly before his death. Their whereabouts are currently  unknown, but we have an APB out for the two of them. There's the information on the two of them, along with the subversive material mailing lists the FCB has collected.""<br/><br/>Smith turned from the window and walked towards the bed. He picked the envelope up and tucked it into his jacket before looking at Echols.<br/><br/>""Arthur Stewart. That's the name of the third member of the group. An informant identified him and a man he only knew as Alex. Research has led to some disturbing information. Alex has a contact in Canadian intelligence. The Friends of Northwest Sovereignty are operating with at least partial sanction from Canada.""<br/><br/>Echols closed his eyes to stop the spinning. He could hear his own pulse in his ears. A wave of nausea hit him. He had to swallow hard to keep from puking. When he opened his eyes, all three men were watching him.<br/><br/>""This is why I'm working with them, Mark"" said Simpson. ""We need to work together, and we need to do it fast. So far, Leigh is the only person they've killed but that could change tomorrow, or for all I know in an hour. They're out there and we know who they are, but we need to find them before a war starts.""<br/><br/>""And we have our orders, Inspector,"" Crystal said with a raised eyebrow. ""And that is to stop these people by any means necessary. If that means bypassing the laws, if that means we're bypassing those laws to stop a war, then so be it.""<br/><br/>Echols gripped his cane so tightly his hands and knuckles were turning white.

The dance floor, in this case, was a basement in suburban Toledo. He held on tightly to his dance partner's hips as they shimmied and shook with the fast-paced number.

She was a white co-ed from UT just a few years older than Billy. He'd been dancing with her for nearly a half hour now and nobody seemed to notice or cared. But then again they weren't the only mixed raced couple on the floor. One other black man danced with a white girl while a few white boys danced with black girls, one of those white boys was Billy's fellow Mud Hen Matt Robinson.

The girl was probably twenty pounds heavier than Billy, but she wore her extra weight well. <br/><br/>""I need to get something to drink,"" Billy whispered in her ear. ""I'll be back.""<br/><br/>He walked through the basement towards the makeshift drink table. A half dozen six packs of soda flanked a large metal tub packed with ice and dozens of cans of beer. Billy pulled one out and popped the top. <br/><br/>""Yo.""<br/><br/>Country Jones sat in a metal folding chair beside the table, nursing a beer. Even sitting down the big man was nearly Billy's height. <br/><br/>Country patted the folding chair beside him. ""Take a seat right quick.""<br/><br/>Billy plopped down and started in on his beer. He hadn't really drunk beer before joining the ball club. Lots of the other boys swore by it, but it always left a bad taste in Billy's mouth. But right now his thirst convinced him it was the best damn thing in the world.<br/><br/>""How come you ain't partying, Country?""<br/><br/>""This is how I party.""<br/><br/>""Looks mighty lonely if you ask me.""<br/><br/>""I don't recall asking your scrawny ass nothing,"" Country snapped. ""But I see you're having a good time.""<br/><br/>""Whole damn team is having a good time,"" Billy grinned. ""That is, except you.""<br/><br/>""You never been down south before, right?"" Country asked. <br/><br/>""Ohio is the farthest I've been.""<br/><br/>Country leaned back in his chair. Billy sipped his beer and watched the dance floor pick back up as another fast number kicked on. He turned and looked back at Country. He was there at the party, but his eyes weren't. They were unfocused, gone to some place that was not here and some time that was not then.<br/><br/>""You all need to be careful out there on the dance floor.""<br/><br/>""What do you mean?""<br/><br/>Country's eyes regained their focus as he turned to look at Billy.<br/><br/>""I mean, the white people at this party are fine with you dancing with the white girls, but that's gonna be it. You understand? This ain't like where I'm from, and that's a credit to them, but it ain't that much better.""<br/><br/>Billy scowled. ""The fuck you talking about, nigga?""<br/><br/>""The college kids who let us come here,"" Country said with a dismissive wave towards the dance floor. ""They're letting us party and dance with the white people so they can tell everyone about that time they let a bunch of negroes come to their party and dance with their women. They want to show everyone that they ain't racist because they had a few black people over to party that one time. And it'll probably be just this one time too. To me, that shit is more racist than the crackers I grew up with in Arkansas. Even if you hated their guts, at least you knew where you stood with them.""<br/><br/>""That's how it works up here,"" Billy said with a shrug. ""Northern racism is a lot more subtle than the Southern kind. And it ain't as violent. You ask me would I rather be here, dancing with a white girl I know I can't fuck, or would I rather be in Mississippi where they just fucking torched an entire family of negroes? Nigga, it ain't even a fucking question.""<br/><br/>Billy turned his beer can up and drained it in a few quick gulps. He crushed the tin can in his hands and tossed it on the floor beside him. There was a sparkle in his eyes as he turned to meet Country's gaze.<br/><br/>""And another thing, Country? If the white people here feel that way, then I say fuck them. I am Billy Carter. I am black, I am pretty, I'm leading the Ohio League in stolen bases, and I am the fasted goddamn man, black or white, this side of the Mississippi. I am who I am and if they don't like it, tough shit. I'm going back to the party.""<br/><br/>Billy stood and headed back to the dance floor with a fresh beer. He took his waiting partner by the hand as the Spanish song started back up.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""Swigitty swooty, quiero ese culo! Chica, sabes que tienes que bailar.

Elliot rode in the passenger seat, his right wrist handcuffed to the door handle. The BPD were waiting for him at Helena's apartment. They had all the files Jane Wilson stole from Liam Kane, and they had the girl and Helena in their possession. Jane was charged with first-degree murder, Elliot and Helena with accessory to murder after the fact. Elliot spent six hours in a BPD hot box while a couple of kiddie cops tried to sweat him. He told them to fuck off. They almost went at him with the phone book when a phone call stopped them cold in their tracks. Sean showed up with a pair of cuffs and they headed out to the Cape.<br/><br/>This wasn't Elliot's first trip to the big house out on Cap Cod. He was here just six months ago helping his benefactor's son with a sticky situation. Elliot smoothed everything over and got paid a cool ten grand for his trouble. He reminded himself that that job, plus the dozen other jobs he'd done for the family and its patriarch, was why he wasn't in the city jail and facing ten to life.<br/><br/>""They're waiting for you by the pool. You can go inside,"" McKenna said as he stopped the car and passed Elliot the handcuff key. ""And go only inside, Elliot. I'm under strict orders to shoot you if you try to make a run for it.""<br/><br/>Elliot unlocked the handcuffs and rubbed his sore wrist. ""Would you actually do it, Sean? After being your friend for so long?""<br/><br/>McKenna's face contained just a hint of a grin. ""I'd shoot to wound. And that's because we've been friends for so long.""<br/><br/>He climbed out the car and walked into the big house. It was a ghost town, not even household staff in sight. Elliot walked down corridors paneled with rich wood on both sides and a glossy hardwood floor underfoot. In the back was the pool area. A large underground swimming pool had a picture perfect view of the ocean. Two men sat waiting for Shaw at a metal table beside the pool.<br/><br/>""Our guest of honor,"" Big Jim Dwyer said with a short bark of a laugh.<br/><br/>""Big"" Jim was a runt. Elliot measured him at five foot six and maybe a buck fifty soaking wet. His white hair and pale skin and tweed jacket with a bow tie made him look like a kindly old librarian or mid-level civil servant. The truth was that Dwyer was without a doubt the most ruthless man in the Commonwealth.<br/><br/>""Elliot!""<br/><br/>Seated next to Dwyer was Elliot's patron. The man who saw his usefulness even when he was BPD, the man who greased the wheels after his messy exit from the force and helped him become a PI, and the man who gave him work when he became a PI. Now, he held Elliot's future in his hands.<br/><br/>""It's been too long,"" Edward Kennedy said with welcoming smile. ""Have a seat.""<br/><br/>Teddy Kennedy. The last surviving son of Diamond Joe, the patriarch of the Kennedy Family. Teddy took Diamond Joe's fortune and made it grow exponentially. If it made money, Teddy and his conglomerates either owned it or made money off of it in some way. Teddy's wore shorts, a knit sweater, and boat shoes. His dark hair was peppered with gray. He'd lost a little weight since Elliot saw him last, making his already large head seem even more massive.<br/><br/>""I'd like to thank you for helping X out. That was a delicate situation.""<br/><br/>""Xavier is a good kid,"" Elliot said with a shrug. ""I hated to see him in a pickle like that. Plus, the pay was nice.""<br/><br/>""Damn kid acts more like Jack than Bobby,"" Teddy said with a sigh. ""That's the third scrape I've had to pay for in the last two years.""<br/><br/>""To business?"" Dwyer asked impatiently. <br/><br/>They stopped talking as a servant brought out three gin and tonics on a tray. Teddy smiled and nodded at the servant. ""Thank you, Wendell.""<br/><br/>""You've pissed off the wrong people, son,"" Dwyer said once they were alone. ""You've pissed off me and the people who owe me. And the people who owe me are the type of people who kill when they're angry.""<br/><br/>Elliot took a long swig of his drink. ""So I saw first hand.""<br/><br/>""The only reason you're even alive is because Ted speaks so highly of you.""<br/><br/>Teddy pulled a cigarette from a pack on the table and lit up. ""I've worked out a deal for you, Elliot. One that Jim has consented to.""<br/><br/>""You're done in Boston,"" Dwyer said softly. ""You're done in Massachusetts. You're done in New England. I don't care where you go, but it will not be here. Your little friend Jane Wilson goes to jail for murdering her boyfriend, and your girlfriend Helena gets to live a perfectly normal life as a whore.""<br/><br/>Elliot sucked his teeth and sipped his drink.<br/><br/>""And if I don't play along?""<br/><br/>Dwyer shrugged and ticked off points with his fingers. ""Deputy Superintendent McKenna blows your brains out. Two weeks later, McKenna will be killed in a mugging gone wrong. Around that time Jane Wilson will be stabbed to death in prison, and Liam Kane's cousin Mink will pay a visit to Helena. You know about Mink Kane, right Shaw?""<br/><br/>""What do you think?"" Elliot said through gritted teeth.<br/><br/>""I think you're getting the picture,"" Dwyer winked. ""And I think you knowing that I can kill the people you care about will put you on your best behavior.""<br/><br/>""Distance,"" Teddy said reassuringly. ""That'll help more than anything, Elliot. You know I own Summit Entertainment, right? Movies, television, radio. We do everything in the entertainment business, Elliot. The people I have out west are royally fucking things up. I need a reliable man out there helping out. I can put you on a flight out of Boston tonight and you'll be in LA for breakfast.""<br/><br/>""LA?"" Elliot asked with a scowl. ""Doing what?""<br/><br/>""What you do best. Fixing problems. Los Angeles is the future,"" Teddy beamed. ""Come out west with me. You'll fuck movie stars and cause all kinds of mischief. You'll love it.""<br/><br/>""Or stay here,"" Dwyer flashed a cold smile. ""And face the alternative.""<br/><br/>Teddy started to hum a tune. Elliot recognized it right off. Hooray for Hollywood.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Washington D.C.</span><br/><br/>Russell Reed looked proudly at the latest addition to his office. The marble bust of Andrew Jackson gazed sternly out at the office. In the bust, Jackson was clothed in the toga of a Roman Senator and his hair was swept back over his head. It was a reproduction of an original carving made before Jackson became president. Russell smiled at it before the buzzer on his desk went off.<br/><br/>""Yes, Patsy?""<br/><br/>""Mr. Vice-President, Traci Lord is here to see you.""<br/><br/>Russell smiled and ran his hair through his fingers.<br/><br/>""Send her in, please.""<br/><br/>Traci Lord came through the door with a broad grin on her face. She shook Russell's hand very firmly, something he admired in anyone regardless of their sex.<br/><br/>""Traci, I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me. We haven't spoken since the election.""<br/><br/>""No offense, Mr. Vice President, but Senate Majority Leader tends to generate more headlines than the Veep.""<br/><br/>""And you're all about the headlines,"" Russell said with a chuckle. ""Please, have a seat. Have you seen my new decoration?""<br/><br/>Lord's eyes lit up when she saw the bust.<br/><br/>""Pretty. Andrew Jackson?""<br/><br/>""Yes, ma'am. My favorite president. A man of the people, a man who knew how to use power, and a man I aspire to be.""<br/><br/>""Your role model if you ever get into the Oval Office?"" Lord asked with a smirk.<br/><br/>""When I get into the Oval Office,"" Russell laughed. ""Not if. So, why'd you want to see me, Traci?""<br/><br/>""Wanted some background on my last story on the Ethiopian Appropriations bill."" The reporter pulled a notebook and pen from her purse and jotted a few things down before looking up at Russell. ""The bill is flying through the Senate. It's supposed to pass by a clear majority this afternoon and President Norman will sign it before leaving town tomorrow night. That's... a lot faster than many people were predicting.""<br/><br/>Russell smiled. He tried to hide it, but his own anxiety of the swift passage matched Lord's. What bothered him even more was that he hadn't been involved in talks, so he had no idea what had gone on.<br/><br/>""I guess our senate knows a winner and backs it, regardless of partisan lines.""<br/><br/>""I've heard another reason,"" she looked from her notepad and met Russell's eye. ""President Norman cut a deal with Wilbur Helms. Passage of the bill for the administration taking a hands-off approach to civil rights.""<br/><br/>Russell fought the reaction, but he knew his mouth was twitching around the left corner. His wife Robin always said that was his worst tell when it came to hiding his anger.<br/><br/>""You've acted as the president's liaison, of a sorts, with Capitol Hill and the Senate especially. I wanted to know if you could comment on the rumors I've heard.""<br/><br/>""No comment, Traci,"" he tried to say as cordially as possible. ""Not even off the record or background. Whatever happened between the president and Senator Helms is... just between them. If that's all, I have an appointment.""<br/><br/>He thanked her for coming and said his goodbyes as politely as possible. The door shut behind her and he walked towards his desk, placing his hands on the wood and looking down at the polished surface and his own reflection. The man staring back at him as angry, his chubby face flushed and red. The face looking back at him was angry, but it as also impotent... powerless to effect change or even stop change. He had been by-passed by the president, cut out of working a deal with one of his oldest allies. He was mad at that fact, and even madder than he could never do anything to change it.<br/><br/>""Goddammit,"" he said softly. ""GODDAMMIT!""<br/><br/>Russell swept his papers and phone off his desk. He <br/><br/>""That son of a bitch!""<br/><br/>In a rage, he reached out and grabbed the marble bust of Andrew Jackson. He slung the bust across the room and watched it shatter into pieces against the wall. Russell's secretary burst into the room a half second later.<br/><br/>""Sir?""<br/><br/>""Betsy,"" he hissed. ""Hold all my calls. I'm going to the White House.""</div>"

Though the sky was clear over the distant horizon a wall of blackened clouds rolled, the valleys and veils of the oncoming storm flickering and flashing with the sharp light of lightning. It wouldn't be long now as Sen Zhou sat in the city airport's terminal and watched out dusty glass windows as the monsoon storm continued to crawl towards them, counting the time between the flash and the thunder; it was quickly growing shorter.<br/><br/>The Chinese soldiers stationed here with them had long since moved inside the airport to escape the pounding summer rains, the storms had been a wild under-estimation on their behalf and tents had quickly become waterlogged. It was fitting and comfortable that what they had were to be moved into cover; it'd become waterlogged otherwise. The tarmac of the runway outside was still wet with rainwater as well, and the red orange soil along it was dark and impregnated with water still.<br/><br/>“How long will it be until another flight out?” a man begged.<br/><br/>Sen Zhou and Dezhi Cao had been sitting with a young man from the university for the past five minutes. Tentative and nervous introductions had been exchanged and Zhou had grown bored with the formalities.<br/><br/>Unlike other Africans, then man had a more palor complexion than most and a sharper nose. In a number of respects, he was closer to that of the Arabs while still being darker than their light sandy skin, but lighter than the darkened ash of his local neighbors.<br/><br/>“It may not be for another few days.” Cao told him, he sat with his legs crossed in a graying-red armchair. Despite the fans running in the airport's empty terminal he was still sweating and he fingered at the neck of his uniform uncomfortably, “With the storms moving in as they are we're forced to inter-space our flights according to what my weathermen tell me.”<br/><br/>“And what do they tell you?” the young man asked. There was a distraught and tense look in his passionate earthly brown eyes.<br/><br/>Cao shrugged, “We don't have the range of weather observation we would have otherwise, and we're still trying to find individuals to get information from on a broader scale. But we've had challenged with how under-developed the whole of the nation is. There's no one we can call beyond Addis Ababa to get data from.<br/><br/>“But the best bet my men can give me is a day and a half. The summer storms of your country punish us.”<br/><br/>“A day and a half.” the young man nodded, he sighed as he turned his frantic gaze from Cao. He seemed considering, pondering. Rubbing his knees with his hands he sat silent in his chair, leaning forward as if ready to spring up, “Perhaps there is still time then!” he said suddenly, “Are you open to the possibility of taking men and women from outside of Addis Ababa?”<br/><br/>Dezhi Cao raised a brow, “What are you asking me to do?”<br/><br/>“My family – my village – live around Lake Tana, to the north. I fear they may be at the mercy of the Spanish soon if the war continues as it has been. I would like to get them out.”<br/><br/>“Gondar's a far ways away.” Cao pointed out, he leaned out his chair towards the young man and with a solemn expression told  him: “I do not have the resources for a mass evacuation at that distance.”<br/><br/>The revelation shocked the student. He leaned back into his chair as if struck in the face, eyes wide and mouth agape. “The great China lacks the shit to go and pick a family up from the north!” he shouted, he was hot with anger and he rose to his feet, defying his respect of authority in Dezhi Cao. The reality of the situation was as offensive to his standards as it was straining.<br/><br/>“My people have been offered an indignant life in Ethiopia for the better part of several centuries and you would surrender us to the Spanish!” he continued, “Do you know what the history of Europe is with Jews? They try and strip us of our heritage, dignity, or life! They even tried to destroy our heritage here in Ethiopia, and would surrender my people to this fate!?” he seethed with anger. He was clearly passionate and he shook with it. Outside the thunder rolled louder as it fueled by his disdain.<br/><br/>Sen Zhou looked at him and down at her commander. “Excuse me.” she said, bowing to the Beta Isrealite as she put a hand on Cao's shoulder, “But can I give a private word of advice to my CO here?”<br/><br/>The youth sputtered and spat, “Fine.” he grumbled. Zhou nodded and looked down at Cao, motioning to following her to the side. Quizzically he sat up from his chair and followed after as the African-born Jew walked a few steps from his seat.<br/><br/>“You do know what the Spanish possess?” Zhou asked in a hushed voice, “At least, we can't confirm if they have it with them here, but we know full well what they do possess.”<br/><br/>“Yes, I'm wholly aware of VX.” Cao whispered back, he shot a wary eye to the young man as he stood with his back slouched and head bowed. His fingers tapped his elbow as he waited, “But what does that mean for them? How does that help us help them? I only really have enough to devote to Addis Ababa and I can't go about allocating my meek resources to areas that Ethiopia may not control in a few weeks if the Spanish offensive persists as such.”<br/><br/>There it was, the fear of action again. His voice didn't shake, but his strong hesitancy to action was in the words. Making excuses where they could be made. “Listen, we don't need to offer much to it, I'm sure if the Emperor is letting us do this then he wouldn't be pre-disposed to offering something to go up there and pull them out. I wouldn't be asking for much, a couple trucks maybe, a handful of men to defend and organize it. And then we'd be coming straight back and we can fly them out of the country with the rest of them.”<br/><br/>Cao shook his head, “No, I can't have that.” he said. He made another nervous look to the student behind him. How much could he hear? “And the Ethiopians look resource strapped enough, do you think their government can afford to allocate anything for this mission? It's all going to fight the Spanish, not make any grocery runs.”<br/><br/>“What if we just asked though?” Zhou asked, “You and I both know I'm the only woman in this army brave to do it. You know in your own heart that you can't do it, personally. But I can. I can find a means.” sighing, she shook her head.<br/><br/>“Can we give it the benefit of the doubt?” she continued, “I can ask Yaqob, or even the palace at least. If not that, I'll find the resources I need myself. I'll pull a handful of men aside, enough to get me there. I'll figure something out.”<br/><br/>Cao looked up at her disdainfully. But there was also pity and fear in those sullen light-brown eyes of his, and he looked away. If partially out of guilt. “I can't lead you out to die.” he said simply.<br/><br/>“I won't!” Zhou promised, “I'll try to make it faster than a simple run for groceries. I'll be in there, I'll be out. I'll figure out a way to move the entire village if they have what I need to do it. I'll bring them all right here, to Addis Ababa, and we can fly them home before the Spanish gas the entire city.”<br/><br/>“You're making a stretch of a promise. Don't promise anything you can't fulfill.”<br/><br/>“I'm not, I know I can do it.”<br/><br/>Cao let out a long defeated groan. He looked back at the distraught man. He shook his head and turned back to Zhou, “I'm going to hate this.” he said, “But I'll let you do it.”<br/><br/>A great big smile stretched across Zhou's face and she felt relief wash over her. She was finally doing something.<br/><br/>Turning to the student Cao declared in a loud voice, “There's been a change of plan, we'll do what we can.”<br/><br/>The student looked like he was hit in the face with another cold blow to the jaw and he looked up with shocked glassy eyes, “You will?” he asked.<br/><br/>“We'll try.” Cao emphasized, “I'm putting my lieutenant on the job. She's going to do what she can.”<br/><br/>The student whooped in joy and dashed across the floor. With a cry of relief he wrapped his arms around Zhou and gave her a great relieved hug. Nearly sobbing into her shoulders he declared, “God smile on the both of you!”<br/><br/>Zhou didn't know what to think, she stood rigidly with her arms pressed against her side as the young man released his grip. “Oh thank you, thank you.” he said with ecstatic bows, “I will never forget.”<br/><br/>“Yes, yes.” Cao smiled stiffly, gently ushering him away, “We'll see you on the soonest flight out.”<br/><br/>The young man turned and left, his face glowing with the widest smile he could wear. As he left, Cao turned to Zhou, “I suppose I'll give you a pass on a shower in the morning, you're going to see what you can do as soon as morning arrives.”<br/><br/>Zhou nodded with acknowledgment. She felt a weight off her shoulder with no longer being tied to Addis Ababa to watch airplanes load and take off for Pemba. She was happy, though for different reasons and not nearly as much as the man who had just embraced her. “I understand, comrade.”<br/><br/>“But, are you really sure?” asked Cao, testing his lieutenant's convictions.<br/><br/>“Would you really turn back on what we promised him we'd do?” Zhou answered.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Yekaterinburg</div><br/><br/>From his camp outside the city, the sound of thunder mumbled in the low distance as bombs and artillery shells ignited the Russian defense of Yekaterinburg. But per his orders his men were not to approach the city itself. Seated in a chair, Huei Wen waited out the day to a cup of warm tea. Though the sounds of battle could be heard they were a distant fire-cracker. Even the smoke was a faint wisp of suggestion that drifted up through the air.<br/><br/>But for where he was, it was calm. A warm southern breeze blew through the trees rustling their gentle boughs at the warm hushed song of the wind. A musky sappy scent was carried on it from out of the groves at the edge of the farm he and his men had acquired. The owners having long since dispatched themselves for the west as his armies approached. Indeed, his advanced scouts had met the family as they were leaving, all that they reported seeing being the brake lights of their truck as they rumbled down the country road, the back laden down with everything that could be easily moved. <br/><br/>They had advanced warning of them, or were expecting them. While they took their clothes, treasures, and money they had left for the use of Huei Wen and his commanding staff and present company the use of their wood stove. It was somehow a surreal idea that men should enjoy tea and bread baked from left-over flour in the pantry while there was a war not happening several miles from where they stood.<br/><br/>But it was a disruption. It kept Huei Wen within his element. The pops and cracks of distant gun-fire and the song of mortar and howitzer gave him his wits. But the abandoned comforts meant that even if in a limited respect he could play the part of a welcoming host to couriers and reports coming in from land.<br/><br/>From the top of the farm's nearby water pump a pair of soldiers clung to the top of the windmill mast that pumped the home's fresh water from the ground as they fought to secure the radio antenna so as to maintain contact with the rest of the front. A recent Russian air raid had knocked the antenna from its post and for the bulk of the day the two men had been wrestling their balance and the fickle perch to re-affix the antenna. Their shouts to the ground crews and between each other suggested their work was not done, but was well enough the ground had sustainable communications.<br/><br/>The radios themselves were moved to the basement of the farm-house. The cellar door had been thrown open allowing them to coordinate with the men on the windmill.<br/><br/>Per dwellings, the house wasn't large, nor was it small. It had the rich smell of age in its wood and the frame of its low angled roof was decorated with inscribed and painted-in natural scenes of deer and spruce trees. The entire single-story building was painted a soft shade of ocean blue with a shallow front-porch facing a dirt drive-way.<br/><br/>Perpendicular to the home's face a wooden garage stood, or rather it did. Republican bombs had collapsed the structure and turned the commander's armored personnel carrier into a twisted heap of metal that hadn't been completely reclaimed. The driver and mechanic had sustained severe injuries and had to be taxied out of the area by another car.<br/><br/>Beyond all the buildings atop a low hill sat their radar trailer. Spinning slowly on its turn-table  the mesh disk scanned the air as around it a small network of trenches and guns poised from the sky kept a shield up for whatever might pluck out the sector's eyes. Camoflauge mesh was dragged across much of the defenses, and the trailer body was draped in it, decorated further it dry yellowing cuttings of straw and grass.<br/><br/>“Comrade Wen.” a soldier called out, summoning Huei Wen's attention to behind him. He turned in his chair and acknowledged the young officer approaching him from way of the house.<br/><br/>“Shàowèi.” Wen nodded, acknowledging the man by his rank, “Would you like a drink?” he offered, gesturing to the tin teapot by his side.<br/><br/>“I'm flattered sir, but I'm not thirsty right now.” the lieutenant answered with a respectful smile, “I have radio reports from the north-group. They found themselves engaged with a mysterious Russian unit on regular maneuvers against a Republican formation moving out from the city.”<br/><br/>Huei Wen sat up in his seat, “Then sit.” he requested. He pointed to a nearby empty seat, “What is the situation on the ground?” he asked as the junior officer sat down.<br/><br/>“They reported that a patrol had located a column of lightly armed individuals moving south along the highway between lakes Baltym and Iseskoye at 0745. upon receiving the reports from patrol at 0758 approximately the division officer dispatched a force of men to intercept and to close that section of road.<br/><br/>“On arrival to the location at 0820 they encountered a heavily armed force, fighting from the back of flatbeds the two groups engaged. By the end of the day five service members were killed, fifteen were wounded, and the unknown targets retreated.”<br/><br/>“Why hasn't Li Chu posted a permanent group at the highway?” Huei Wen asked.<br/><br/>“I didn't think to ask, but over the radio he mentioned that over-night he had been intercepting a Republican party skirmishing his position at the village of Koptyaki.”<br/><br/>“I see.” nodded Huei Wen, “Send a notification to Chu that I will met with him personally and have a professional brief on the situation at hand.” he said sternly.<br/><br/>“I also may need a change of location.” he said stiffly, looking at the windmill, “The Republicans may have found out where I am. It's time the central command moves before they light up the farm.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” the lieutenant bowed,<br/><br/>“Tell the others, I'll finish my tea and we'll be out of here soon after. I want to be packed up as soon as I'm done.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Kostroma Oblast</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Russian Republic</div><br/><br/>The wheels of the truck popped and ground down the long gravel drive. Nigh time had fallen in its entirety and the only lights were those that weakly glowed from an incandescent dashboard. Precut numbers and letters glowed a dull reddish-orange and dials slowly climbed or danced atop a back lit face. At each pothole or rut in the road the truck wheezed with rusty determination as it forced through its paces at the hands of new masters. Its only one lying dead at some rest-stop an hours drive away.<br/><br/>In the passenger's seat Ullanhu sat staring out into the shadows. Far away through trees lights glistened off of still water as they passed along the edge of a lake deep in the Russian wilderness. The distant pin-point glimmer of the town on the far-side was as bright and even as the stars themselves in the Russian sky above them. There wasn't even a haze of light over the small town.<br/><br/>“Where are we?” Ullanhu asked, looking across to Vasiliy. Between the two the kidnapped president sat napping with the bag still dropped over his eyes.<br/><br/>Vasiliy took a quick shooting look out the window. “We must... Ah...” he thought, “We should across of lake from Galich.” he said with stern affirmation.<br/><br/>“And where would Galich be in Russia?” asked Ullanhu.<br/><br/>Vasiliy shrugged indifferently, “Is north of Moscow,” he mumbled, “But we not much closer to Urals.”<br/><br/>Sighing, Ullanhu rested his chin on the palm of his hand as they continued their slow clip down the road. In the bed of the stolen trunk parts and pieces sang like bells as they clipped against the bed of the truck.<br/><br/>They kept on for what felt like an hour more. The lights of Galich began to fade back into the darkness and even the lake itself slipped away. Trundling along through backwater swampy roads the continued their press on through Russia.<br/><br/>“We ever going to find a main road?” asked Ullanhu, breaking the silence.<br/><br/>“Perhaps, but not now.” Vasiliy cautioned, “I would like to find a new car first.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu shrugged and nodded. He watched in the distance a farmhouse atop a hill, lantern light lit the windows and it stood as a beacon in the darkness. Like a lighthouse in the ocean of night. Against the starry sky it was a strange sight. Like almost that from a storybook.<br/><br/>Its signal though wasn't for them and they kept going. With a stop Vasiliy stopped them at a crossroads. At the edge of the yellow headlights an old road-sign stood at the corner. Its arms and arrows pointing down each arm of the dirt, rutted roads. Looking at the worn wooden and metal signs Vasiliy could not claim to be brushed up enough, or awake enough to make sense of the writing.<br/><br/>“I think it might be time to stop over somewhere for the night.” Vasiliy mumbled, throwing quick cautious glances down the darkened roads on both sides of them, “Can't promise it'll be comfortable.” he added.<br/><br/>Nonplussed, Ullanhu looked up at him. They crossed the intersection and made way down an overgrown two-track. The tires of the car bumped and jumped over potholes hidden in the night and all of a sudden Ullanhu found himself afraid they were en'route to somewhere off the map. He held his hand up on the roof as he leered out the windows, watching as nothing passed the window. Out the windshield long grass and bushes fell out over the road, nearly covering it in its entirety. Faintly through the darkened underbrush Ullanhu could make out shapes or textures of something well hidden. Whipping in his chest his heart raced with the rising anxiety as he realized he couldn't see the stars.<br/><br/>The bumpy journey lurched over holes that felt like bottomless chasms until Vasiliy brought the truck to a stop. Ahead of them barring the road was a large iron gate. Holding it shut a rusted tangle of heavy chain closed with a padlock barred the road. The lock looked old, and well abused by the weather. In the headlights blots of bloodied rust the rise of hands covered the iron gate and broke the lock down into a camouflaged pattern of oxidation.<br/><br/>Moving his hands from the driver's wheel Ullanhu mumbled in a low voice, “I think I pick it.”<br/><br/>“You think?” Ullanhu asked, perturbed. He watched baffled as he hopped out of the door and rummaged through his dirty, bloodied suit coat for a pick. Then hovered over the lock, breaking the tumblers free in the light of tungsten headlamps. In the disruption of the moment, Belyakov had been shook wide awake and his snoring had given way to a nervous broken breathing.<br/><br/>Finally with the ring of metal clashing on metal the lock fell from the chain and Vasiliy had pushed the gate open. Running back into the truck he threw it back into gear and rolled on through.<br/><br/>For a moment everything but the ground fell away into a perpetual sea of nothing. The two could have been driving through inter-dimensional nothing and neither would have realized. It wasn't until the light of the car captured in its glow the brick wall of some monumental building, covered in moss and creepers. But to Ullanhu, looking out through the door towards that wall with the age of its damage and neglect the three could have easily passed through some portal in time or place.<br/><br/>With a click Vasiliy killed the power to the engines and in an instant there was nothing but darkness in the world. As the motor wound down to the lethargic cold clicking of a still engine there was only the tense breathing of Belyakov between them. Vasiliy threw open his door, and grabbing Belyakov Ullanhu did the same. His feet immediately came down on thick grass.<br/><br/>“Where are we?” asked Ullanhu and he pushed Belyakov through the night-time air. It was cool and still and there was a heavy marshy aroma in the wind. Slowly Ullanhu's eyes adjusted for the low moon-lit light and the stars came back in focus. He stopped to look up at a looming tower over his head. Broken spears and jagged bricks leered out from uninviting nooks along its height until it was less of a tower and more a mangled monster's nest.<br/><br/>“Old Monastery.” Vasiliy said in his typical muddied Chinese, “I sure we find place to sleep inside.”<br/><br/>“Wait, in there?” Ullanhu gaped. Somehow he felt less at ease inside there than when waiting to bail Moscow with the president.<br/><br/>“Of course, is cover. If rains, we not get wet.” said Vasiliy, somehow Ullanhu could imagine him smiling unapologetically.<br/><br/>“Well how can you be so sure?”<br/><br/>“I have light.” Vasiliy sneered, a small dime of silver light snapped to shine in the hallowed darkness. Ullanhu jumped back as it stole away his vision.<br/><br/>“For fuck's sake!” Ullanhu cursed, shielding his eyes, “Don't do that!”<br/><br/>Vasiliy shrugged and waved his small torch to the building. “Where'd you even get that?” he asked, grumbling.<br/><br/>“Pocket. Be always prepare. Is not scout code?”<br/><br/>“Yea, sure.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Novosibirsk</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Siberian Republic</div><br/><br/>There was a peace divorced from that of the outside world. A bulky wood-cased radio played soft music at a low volume, just enough there was an ambient noise without being distracting. In the hall outside boots shuffled back and forth past the door. And seated on the corner of his desk Huang Li Wong read through the sparse records the Siberian inherited from the former imperial state, information copied from some source document in Moscow to be shelved at magistrate offices or military bases to keep a universal tab on the state's numerous VIPs: old-money aristocrats, new-money capitalists, and the officers of the army.<br/><br/>Many bore signs of damage, whether swept up in the post-assassination chaos and mixed together until the narrative of the pages was lost. Or half-burned in a desperate bid to save identities from the communist surge in the seventies. It wasn't as complete as he would have liked, but it was something.<br/><br/>The names however had become a blur in his heads. Many lacked photos so there was no face to connect to the names and the sparse identities. Siberian efforts had attempted to update some of it, but the daunting task of adopting the czarist regime when their own bureaucracy was so thin that the effort was at best token. Still, the most notable were at least given photos provided by the Chinese. But these were not the issue, many of them were already under observation or in a Siberian prison camp.<br/><br/>Still, there was the two names that felt like leads; Fyodor Trobesky and Isaak Girgorvich Alexandrov. But any real meat on them was in the far west, and certainly not here. If there was connection with the Mafiya though, there might be a chance that either one had this information burned so they could become the phantoms they wanted to be.<br/><br/>Suddenly breaking the dull monotony there was a knock at the door. Licking his dry lips and rubbing the cotton from his tongue Huang Li called out, “Come in.”<br/><br/>The door opened and the agent in the doorway  bowed. “Comrade.” he greeted, stepping inside and closing the door.<br/><br/>“Did you manage?” asked Huang Li, shutting the file and setting it aside.<br/><br/>“I did, but I don't know for what.” the other agent responded. He was the young sinewy sort of man, with thin side-swept hair, “It was hard as hell to get a word through, but I managed to get a correspondence from our man in Perm.”<br/><br/>Huang Li smiled and nodded, “So: what does he know?”<br/><br/>“Not a whole lot. Apparently those names you gave him are as much of an enigma to him as they were to me.” reported the young man as he leaned against the door. He scratched at the underside of his chin. “He said there was something familiar about the Fyodor sort but excused it as being the name of a local kid in the neighborhood.”<br/><br/>“I see, so Shu doesn't know anything at all?”<br/><br/>“If he did I wouldn't know what you'd want to know.” the young agent scoffed, “But loose lips.<br/><br/>“He did have some other things to key the Lion's Den into though.” he added.<br/><br/>“So what is it then? Does Angua need to know?” Huang Li asked.<br/><br/>“He probably will,” the other man nodded, “Since his partner died in the field Shu's been acting solo for a long-time. Understandably he wants out and is waiting for Huei Wen to get to Perm before surrendering himself over. But that's all pretty obvious knowing his situation.<br/><br/>“What he considers interesting is that maybe about a month ago another agent was in Perm.”<br/><br/>“Another, who?” the dragon-faced agent asked. He leaned in interested.<br/><br/>“He didn't get a name.” the other said regretfully, “But he did say he was working with Makulov, or his mission entailed working with Makulov. I don't know if he made contact with the Phantom General or not but he was out there. Apparently he was going solo.”<br/><br/>“I'll have to call Beijing.” Huang Li affirmed to himself, “How was the condition of the agent when he arrived in Perm?”<br/><br/>“I guess they found him near to death by a sewer outflow.” said the agent, “He had been severely injured, but commented it didn't bother him. He was adamant he leave, but Min Shu had to force him to stay until he was sure he was ok.”<br/><br/>“Yes, I'll have to contact Beijing on this. Are you sure this is a credible report on his part?”<br/><br/>“Sounded so, comrade.”<br/><br/>“Alright, that's enough then. You're dismissed.”</div>"

The speed always went to his head. When he was drunk he would roll it somewhere out in the dirt. Instead, he watched his cousins and tried to forget that he had to go back to Madrid in the morning.<br/><br/>His cousins sped their mules across the dusty fields of La Mancha, dodging the brush and the rocks like hares fleeing a hawk. Their mules - homemade racing cars with bare-bone frames leaving them open to the air - took every bump with exaggerated leaps. That was the driver's fault, Alvar knew. They were playing. <br/><br/>Alvar laid back and listened to the cackle of their engines. Pain flared out from his bruised ribs: a symptom of the fight that had got him suspended from University. The Pissants at the schoolboard had a knack for protecting loud-mouths from getting what was coming to them. The thought of Cornelio Cortez and the nails-on-chalkboard sound of his voice as he talked about how important his father was... it made Alvar want to track him down and beat him all over again. Perhaps this time he could tear his ears off. Imagine how it would look when a whiny-sounding ass like Cornelio talked to women without having any ears. Would he try to hide the bloody scars where they had been? That was a satisfying image. Alvar was finding that, on a cool night with a few El Cids in him, he could get as much pleasure just imagining himself beating Cornelio as he had when it actually happened.<br/><br/>He heard the mules come to a stop at the foot of the rise where he was resting. He sat back up, slowly so that his ribs didn't sting too much, and watched his cousins crawl out between the spindled beams of their vehicles. There were three of them - Estefan, Anso, and Tomas. They were all in their early adulthood, except for Tomas who was only twelve. It was the fashion for men to wear their hair slightly long so that it reached the collar of their shirts, and slicked back with a thick greasy layer of pomade. But mule racing did not agree with the style; it left their hair mussed up and covered in dust.<br/><br/>""Alvar, did you see that half-flip?"" Estefan was holding his helmet under his arm.<br/><br/>""No."" Alvar said. As usual, he did not sound excited, but he made sure to smile. <br/><br/>""Tomas almost rolled it, but the mule bounced back up!""<br/><br/>""Good work."" Alvar held his smile. The young boy looked proud at being recognized by his older kin.<br/><br/>Anso kicked an empty bottle on the ground near Alvar. ""It looks like you have been having a good time."" he said.<br/><br/>""I feel good."" <br/><br/>""You look like it."" They all sat down on the same hill.<br/><br/>""Are you going to drive tonight? You don't look like you should drive."" Estefan said to Alvar.<br/><br/>""I will go tomorrow morning. It only takes an hour and a half to get to Madrid from here.""<br/><br/>""I wish you luck, cousin. These bureaucrats do not make good judges. If we were oil-men, perhaps you could flash some money in front of them to make it go away. But boys from La Fuente do not get that luxury.""<br/><br/>""And when you are up there."" Anso butted in. ""Check out the girls. I have to keep telling you this but you don't listen. Twenty one is too old to not have been with a girl, but it is not too late. You need to do this.""<br/><br/>And there it was. Anso had been with three girls before he was twenty, or at least this is what he said. It was the thing he was most proud of. Alvar, on the other hand, had simply never cared. It was not that he did not like women - they were fascinating creatures, otherworldly - but he did not know what he would even do if he got close to one. Anso's ideas were just vulgar. If he had the opportunity, he would fondle the statues in the museums. <br/><br/>The other boys grabbed bottles and ritually clinked them together. ""To up, to down, to center, and inside!"" at the last word, they all drank deep. Alvar felt his head swim; whether from the booze or from tipping his head he did not know.<br/><br/>""I am not just going to Madrid to talk to the school masters."" Alvar face scrunched as he swallowed the hard bubble in his chest from the amount he had imbibed. ""I am going to join the <span class=""bb-i"">Ejercito</span>.""<br/><br/>The other boys looked at him with mixed pride and uncertainty. <br/><br/>""They need interpreters."" Anso said. ""Your schooling will do you good. Don't you know some of the language of Ethiopia?""<br/><br/>""Some. And when I come back from the war, I think that the university will struggle to think of ways to keep me out.""<br/><br/>""Everybody like's a war hero."" Estefan said. ""I would have went to war, if I were not the only physician in town. I am proud to see another member of our family answer the call of duty.""<br/><br/>And then for a moment, they were silent. Alvar reflected on how calm he felt. That was rare. When in the city, he felt annoyed and out of place in every circumstance. But here, in the small town where he had grew up, among his family, he felt like a person again. Perhaps the military would help him find a place. When he had a gun in his hand and an enemy to fight, life would make more sense. <br/><br/>A <span class=""bb-i"">zepelín</span> appeared above the eastern foothills. With the sun long gone, the solemn blue of twilight remained, and the <span class=""bb-i"">zepelín</span> became the only light in the sky. It glowed bright yellow and red along the compartments on the bottom, making it difficult to see the wavy checkerboard pattern on the balloon itself. <br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Orolujo</span>"" Anso said. ""Murcia to Madrid, maybe?""<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Orolujo</span> has a route from Algiers to Madrid now. Serving those high-class oil men who spent enough time in Africa to get apartments and Moorish mistresses."" Estefan added. It was only the two of them talking now. <br/><br/>""I have heard it said that scientists are looking to replace the <span class=""bb-i"">zepelínes</span> with high-powered airplanes.""<br/><br/>""They tried that with airplanes before, but nobody uses them for anything other than quick flights. Who wants to sit down in a noisy tube? And let's say planes do go faster in the future, would it be worth giving up a quiet ride in a comfortable lounge? Even the peasant zepelínes allow you to move around and stretch your legs.""<br/><br/>""Perhaps if the planes go fast enough, people will have to use them. Imagine if a man lives in Madrid and commutes to Algiers to work every day? That would be a productive future.""<br/><br/>""That would be a pain. You would spend all your free time going to work. Why would you not live in the town you work, or near to it at least?""<br/><br/>Alvar saw Anso push himself up. ""The houses are better in Madrid. The shops are better in Madrid too. Who would want to live in Algiers? I doubt they have an electronics shop in Algiers. Even here we have an electronics shop."" Alvar imagined that shop. It was a new brick building built partially into one of the old medieval adobe structures at the edge of town. Across from it was a lot that sold automobiles. Aside from those, Villanueva de la Fuente was the sort of town that hosted mostly taverns and food-stands. He had learned boxing in the oldest tavern. <br/><br/>Ah this town. This home.<br/><br/>It wasn't his cousins that he would miss, or his parents or siblings or grandparents. They were just people. It wasn't even so much the town itself: a sleeping part of old Spain tucked between the growing cities. He would miss knowing where he was, and where he would be the next day. He would miss the dependability.<br/><br/>""It was founded by a German, you know."" Estefan said.<br/><br/>""What?"" Anso replied. They were at it again.<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Orolujo</span>. The <span class=""bb-i"">zepelínes</span> came in with all those wealthy capitalists fleeing the anarchy after the Great War. That is big money. They won't give over to any high-powered planes so easily. Not if it costs them coin.""<br/><br/>""Most of those men are dead.""<br/><br/>""But the money is still there. That is the important thing.""<br/><br/>Alvar interrupted. ""Would boxing get me a higher rank in the <span class=""bb-i"">Ejercito</span>? I was the middle weight champion last year for my school's league.""<br/><br/>""Maybe. It is a sort of combat."" Estefan answered. ""But I wouldn't worry about. The <span class=""bb-i"">Ejercito</span> is an honorable place. You will do well.""<br/><br/>Time passed.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Current Time: The Danakil Desert, Ethiopian Empire</span></span><br/><br/>The heat was unbearable. It came with the sun, and before the Spanish soldiers could be ready for it, the temperature climbed to dangerous heights. In the afternoon, furnace winds would blow in from the desert and make it worse. The natives called these the '<span class=""bb-i"">fire winds</span>'. They were the only thing more horrible than the sun.<br/><br/>Alvar's platoon had only been in Ethiopia for a week - coming in after the ashes of Djibouti were already cooled - but though they had been spared the horror of that initial battle, their experience of Africa so far had been nothing but hell. They were attached to the chaplain of their regiment, so Alvar's first taste of Africa had been helping with the dead. He was the only interpreter in their platoon, which left him dealing with whatever natives they ran across, and ensured his participation in most excursions outside of camp involving the chaplain or their platoon. He had seen Djibouti first hand, more times than he wanted. The remnants of the city stunk of ash, cooked flesh, and gasoline. It was still an uninhabitable place; men needed gas masks if they went too far into the ruins. There were places where buildings had melted into bubbled heaps. Walking on them was dangerous, as some concealed basements where fires still smoldered. There were also places where human remains, rendered by the fire, mixed with ash to create puddles of lye, so that chemical burns were not unheard of among those who ventured the ruins.<br/><br/>It was sickening. There were still questions as to how the fire had started. Rumor had it that it had been the Africans themselves, condemning their own civilians to die in the blaze just so Spain would fail. He had came to this war expecting to see grisly things, but that was an evil he had not expected. <br/><br/>After leaving Djibouti, heat had become the new hell. They hadn't seen real combat yet. Ethiopian aircraft would buzz over them in ominous formation, but their only targets were the Spanish armor. He had seen a dogfight once in the early morning. From the ground, it looked like a number of planes buzzing around each other, with the sound of their guns having a disembodied quality that made it seem like a movie that was out of sync with its sound. <br/><br/>He trudged along behind the Chaplain's truck, sweating his life out. He, like most of the men, had stripped to the waist, accepting an inevitable sun-burn as a good trade for the ability to breath. That did not save him from toting a pack full of gear, or from the responsibility of holding a loaded rifle just in case a group of suicidal Afar decided to launch an assault on their part of the column.<br/><br/>There was no singing or talking in the Spanish column. Only cursing. Alvar stared hungrily at the box laying on it's side in the back of the truck.<br/><br/>""I want to go in the confessional next."" he said to Corporal Fonseca, the man nearest in front of him.<br/><br/>""Fuck off, Panzano. If we let you go in there, you'll touch yourself and we'll have to clean it out.""<br/><br/>""That is a fucking lie."" he protested. He had a habit of staring, he knew that. He couldn't help himself. But it was the rumor that he had been caught masturbating to the burned corpse of a woman in Djibouti that had killed his reputation with the men. He had <span class=""bb-i"">stared</span> at the corpse, nothing more. It was fascinating. But that was it.<br/><br/>""The next time you go in that booth is when you confess, Panzano. Confess that you are a nasty little pervert."" the other men heard him, and they laughed with the little energy they could still muster.<br/><br/>If the sun hadn't already turned him red, he would have turned that color now. He wanted to bash Fonseca's skull in and watch the brains leak out. He wanted to stake him down somewhere the desert and let the Afar have him. It was whispered that the Afar castrated their captives. That would be good. Men like Fonseca didn't deserve their dicks.<br/><br/>""If you have a problem with me, let's settle it right here. Like men.""<br/><br/>""Then I'd have to touch you."" Fonseca snarled.<br/><br/>""SOLDIERS! SAVE THE THUNDER FOR THE ENEMY!."" Lieutenant De Oviedo shouted back at them. To argue with him would be to risk having your water taken away for a while, so Panzano kept silent. But he fumed. He hated De Oviedo more than Fonseca. The Lieutenant liked to scream. It was his screaming at Panzano about the rumor that had turned most of the platoon completely against him. <br/><br/>So he raged on the inside. His attention was brought back to the confessional when he saw it's last inhabitant wiggle out. Fonseca, tossing his pack and rifle into the back of the truck, replaced him. The truck moved slow enough that it was easy for them to do. At the back of the confessional the Chaplain had set up a fan. It wasn't cold, but it didn't have to be. Any reprieve from the fire winds of the Danakil was welcome. So the men shared the compartment in shifts, laying on their backs as if in a coffin and taking what tiny relief it provided. <br/><br/>There was nothing for Panzano to do but hate the others, to hate the sun, and to watch as the nothing scenery went by. It looked like they were walking on top of an endless pile of dried up, baked-to-death dog turds. That was the only was to describe the Danakil. How the Afar had made this place their home was anybody's guess. <br/><br/>When dusk finally fell on the desert, the Spaniards stopped. They spent the last two hours before sun-down setting up their camps on the rocky hills overlooking the road. From up there, they could see an enemy approach and be prepared for it. Barbed-wire was rolled out along the perimeter. While some men slept, other men stood watch, making it so that most only had four or five hours to sleep.<br/><br/>For Panzano, his sleep was constantly interrupted. The Spanish armor moved at night to avoid overheating. That meant ceaseless rumble of heavy diesel engines on the road below. More than once he heard clustered gunfire. Some sounded heavy, from airplanes perhaps, or some African trick he did not understand. Other times it sounded like small-arms fire playing behind some far away dune.<br/><br/>Fucking war.<br/><br/>Before he was ready, it was his time to take guard. He found a place on his own where he would not have to be with any of the other pissants in his platoon. It was near a rock behind a storage tent. He looked out over the serrated ridges and watched for any Afar raiders, but it was the sky that drew his attention. It was big and bright. The stars were the only lights in this place, and they powdered the sky in a way that he had never seen in Spain before.<br/><br/>That was all there was to see. No traveling bands of wiry Afar. Now that he was awake, the sluggish progress of tanks and armored trucks was no longer distracting. He could only see a corner of it. Just motion behind a dune. Nothing worth watching.<br/><br/>But he came prepared. He had bought a pornographic magazine from a sailor. A ""<span class=""bb-i"">Las Tetas de Diversiónes</span>"". His favorite part were the cartoons in the center, by a Spanish artist living in Venezuela who called himself ""Juan Buentiempo"". It made him jealous of men who could draw.<br/><br/>It kept him entertained through his shift. Before dawn, the rest of the company stirred awake. Alvar Panzano stuffed the magazine in his shirt and stood to attention. That meant it was time to pulled up stakes, to roll up the barbed wire, and to march through the cruel desert all over again. He rejoined the rest of the men.<br/><br/>""Gentlemen!"" De Oviedo shouted. ""There is a change of plans!""<br/><br/>There was only muttering, but nobody said anything. They did not have time before the Lieutenant was speaking again.<br/><br/>""We are thirty kilometers due north of Dire Dawa! That means thousands of black-skinned killers waiting to take your balls and spread them on their toast! They will not get the opportunity to do so! While our armor makes those black-skinned killers into black-skinned residue, we're going to ready ourselves to finish them off!""<br/><br/>Finally! The fighting! The war!<br/><br/>The men roared in approval. Their blood was up. After suffering the Djibouti, and the Danakil, they finally had somebody they could kill for the trouble. <br/><br/></div>"

The sudden force and anger of the announcement shocked him awake in much the same way as taking a bag of flour into the stomach would. With his hands clenched he shot awake and then scrambled uncoordinated on a floor whetted with frost and decaying leaves. A cold morning air had crept into the cavernous ruin of the old church ruins and snuggled within the halls as if it was taking rest under the blanket itself.<br/><br/>His sudden darting explosion to stand woke the sleeping president who cried out shocked and terrified as Ullanhu tripped over his sleeping porky body. With a tumble and a smack Ullanhu fell face-first into mossy tiles and a mat of leaves. He spilled out there in the mouse hotel as his head swam in the chill, shock, and soreness of falling face first into granite tile.<br/><br/>Groaning woefully to himself, Ullanhu pulled himself up. Everything about him was sore in ways he thought he'd have never felt. Rising to his feet he meant to ask Vasiliy what was wrong, but it was soon answered before the question could be asked. “Someone slashed the tires!” he roared in spiteful Russian.<br/><br/>Ullanhu walked to the cavernous gaping hole in the side of the ruined church, where the bricks had spilled across the ground inside and out. Stomping and raging alongside the truck they had stolen was Vasiliy, railing on about anyone who might have done it. Clenched fists hammered the side of the cab and crashed against the metal. The hard bangs and cracks his fists made against the side of the cab sounded like they'd hurt, but whatever pain he was feeling was muted by his unbridled rage.<br/><br/>“Someone slashed the tires?” asked Ullanhu as he walked out into the morning light. The sun had barely lifted over the horizon and a gentle fog hung over the meadow they were in. Dew glistened from the nearby bushes and tree tops. And from the high dome-doped bell tower at the front of the large brick and mortar church a flock of sparrows were dancing and spinning about as they fled their roost.<br/><br/>“Yes!” Vasiliy bellowed, waving bruised reddened hands to the trucks tires. Deep gashes were cut deep into the rubber and now they sagged so severely against the vehicle's weight the lips of the cuts bore a bovine overbite.<br/><br/>“Well... Uh... Do we know who?” Ullanhu asked dimly. He was still half asleep and what threads he was spinning were not fully worked out.<br/><br/>“I don't know who, but if I figure it out I will...” Vasiliy began, his face burned a bright beet red that only grew solar as he fought to find what it was he was going to do with them. Let alone figure out who.<br/><br/>“Fuck I don't know. But I'll figure it out when I get there.” he sneered angrily.<br/><br/>Ullanhu nodded along and rubbed at his shoulders. “I'll just...” he said, “... I'll just go keep an eye on Belyakov.”<br/><br/>“Fine!” Vasiliy snapped, waving a dismissive hand up at him, “Go do that.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu turned back to the ruin of the country church, putting his back on Vasiliy who continued to ramble angry Russian. The words from his mouth sounding less like an articulate language, but the sounds of a raw bestial anger. Turning about the crumbling wall it fettered off into muffled distant nothing.<br/><br/>To say the temple they found themselves in had been built for paupers once upon a time would have been a insult. Even in the ruined state there was a rich opulence that still shone from the walls. But from where gold leaf had been carved from the walls by locals there was instead glistening morning dew that shone like diamonds in the morning light. Halos of dazzling dew polish framed the face of peeling iconography of Jesus and a diamond sun shone over faded scenes of medieval Russian country life, portrayed in romantic idealism by fresco slowly loosing their colors to the wear of time. And along the bases of statues evidence to the building's final hours reached up along the robes and clothes of Russian saints in the form of scorch marks and stubborn ash. Stains from rainwater added permanent trails of tears from vacant accusative eyes as these holy men looked down at and scorned the communist that had taken refuge under their crumbling roof.<br/><br/>And while the structure wasn't ancient given the signs that there had once been electricity and modern convenience installed here, the severe neglect that it suffered certainly had not helped it.<br/><br/>By the time he got back to the president he was already sitting up. His hands resting crossed and limped in his lap. His suit sagged filthy and wet from off his shoulders. He sat slouched, head bowed down like a monk in prayer. As Ullanhu got near the man shuffled, but did not look up. He kept an eerie withheld silence as reserved and defeated as his posture. There was a certain foul smell that came off of him as well, but Ullanhu assumed all three of them probably smelled poorly by now. And they haven't exactly given the president any breaks for a bathroom in a long time.<br/><br/>Ullanhu knelt down in front of him and the president let out a long stressed breath. The Chinese agent looked at his hooded face, expecting that he would speak to him, or acknowledge him. But not a sound peeped from his lips. “You probably need to see the light.” Ullanhu said gently, and reached out and undid the hood over the president's head. With a slow movement he pulled it up to above his brow.<br/><br/>The moment the morning light hit his eyes Belyakov recoiled against the sudden shot of light, clenching his eyes shot as he recoiled back and rose weak hands up to his eyes. “Christ!” he swore weakly.<br/><br/>Blinking away the knives, Belyakov looked up at Ullanhu and snarled, “Fuck's sakes, what's going on?” he grumbled, “I figured I was with a chink, but I didn't expect any that looked as soft as you boy.” he commented in spiteful Russian.<br/><br/>“I'm just here on the job.” Ullanhu said.<br/><br/>“Fine, some Chinese revolution.” Belyakov sighed. His puffy walrus face had faced and deflated since he was captured by Vasiliy. He was palor, bruised, and his bushy mustache had been joined by thick bearded scrub as messy as his hair had become. Critical eyes leered at Ullanhu from atop cheeks stained with tears, “I was a part of a revolution too, once!” he said in a low accusing tone, “We're all revolutionaries here, so why do you act in betrayal brother to brother?”<br/><br/>“It's not my area to question.” Ullanhu told him.<br/><br/>“Right, and which head of the dragon tells you to do this then?”<br/><br/>“I don't think I'm obligated to say.”<br/><br/>“What the fuck does it matter in the end you shit?” Belyakov continued in fire, “I know for sure you're not going to kill me, and you've evaded the army well enough I might as well recognize I'm not going back. What do you need me for!?” he demanded, “Is it because Dimitriov died in prison too soon, am I to serve the rest of his time? I wasn't even involved in that horse shit!”<br/><br/>“I'm sure you weren't.” Ullanhu said dismissively.<br/><br/>“So who then? Radek? Nikolov? I have a long list and I can keep asking for a while. It'd be easier to just tell me.” the president continued to demand.<br/><br/>“As much as I'd say I don't think you need to know.” Ullanhu retorted. He reached out and grabbed the hood, pulling it back down over his face and pulling the straps tight before he could grab his wrists and stop him.<br/><br/>“One of these days you will be cut up, and fed to the pigs your sons will eat.” Belyakov promised.<br/><br/>“I'll have my eye on you.” Ullanhu whispered to him, as Vasiliy came over the bricks. The Mongol rose as he walked across the leaf-strewn floor.<br/><br/>“How's our prisoner?” he asked in Russian, looking down as Belyakov.<br/><br/>“Smells terrible, but still lively.” Ullanhu affirmed, “So are you done?”<br/><br/>“I suppose.” Vasiliy slumped, “I'd still like to kill the man who did it. But there's no use wishing if we don't know who. We need to figure out what we're doing.”<br/><br/>“I just want to know where we're going.”<br/><br/>Vasiliy sighed, “I was of hoping we make it to Urals.” he groaned, jumping to Chinese, “If we had kept pace, we could make it by end of day today. But is not possible now.”<br/><br/>“Well, we're not walking. How were we going to make it there?”<br/><br/>“Lost car, get new one might shake search men now. So we find new car.”<br/><br/>“I saw a farm-house on a hill not far back as we were coming in. Think they'd have something we can drive off with?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>Vasiliy shrugged, “Maybe. But is of best choice.” he planted his hands on his hip for a moment, and considered, looking down at the president who had since resumed his resigned slump, “I'll pick up pig, you lead us to house. Figure out from there.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">North of Yekaterinburg</div><br/><br/>With a toss the armored car was thrown over a pothole in the middle of the road. Holding on his seat Huei Wen held fast to keep from being thrown against the floor, as with the other men in the car. Towards the front cabin a man sat perched against a terminal of radios strapped to the steel hull. The crackling and sheering voices of communication relays from the rest of the operating positions chewed through the air with the sound of the car's engine. Just inches from his head the open port in the roof where the gunner sat dropped down into the narrow room left behind between the radio operator and the equipment strapped down. The light of the afternoon sun glowed through the open turret cutout as the gunner scanned the landscape.<br/><br/>And while the view to the cabin was blocked the general didn't need to know where they were as they stopped. It was a checkpoint.<br/><br/>“Comrade!” someone hailed.<br/><br/>“Afternoon.” responded the driver, “We're en'route to Isetoskoye Camp. Can we get through?”<br/><br/>“What for?” the guard asked.<br/><br/>“Huei Wen wants to meet with your CO. He's in the back.”<br/><br/>“I won't keep the general waiting then, on your way.” the checkpoint guard invited, and they were quickly on the move again.<br/><br/>Many of the roads into the city were closed, most were supposedly completely shutdown by checkpoints and outposts controlling the direction of traffic until the city itself was completely shut down. Communities like Beryozovsky were used as bait, drawing out a battalion of the Republic's men to keep the Chinese from laying claim to the larger of the communities in orbit around Yekaterinburg. But they were soon trapped, and laid to the same sort of siege in that gold mining town as their brethren in Yekaterinburg.<br/><br/>Only the western roads were open. A contested stretch of highway under the gun of mortars. A fanciful promise of escape if they sought to take it. But never a life-line.<br/><br/>With a sharp bounce the armored car came to stop again. “We're here.” the driver called back.<br/><br/>Huei Wen replied back with a curt acknowledging nod as the rear hatch was swung open. Bright sunlight poured in and the general and his escort stepped out into the muddy field of Isetoskoye Camp.<br/><br/>All around the air was filled with the hum of soldiers and their comings and goings. In coming and outgoing vehicles and the rumble of tanks waiting to set out on patrolling the roads and country-side again. In the distance the thrumming of a landing helicopter summoned the return of an airborne patrol as it touched down on the far side of a large farmhouse atop a hill, a two story small mansion wrought of stone.<br/><br/>The grass and gravel drive had been rendered a muddy quagmire from overuse by heavy equipment. As Wen stepped up onto the front porch he briskly shook the mud and dirt from his coat, shaking clumps from the bottom hem and kicking his boots clean on the concrete steps as he walked through the doors.<br/><br/>“Comrade Huei Wen!” a young lieutenant saluted as the general stepped through the heavy oak doors. They stood now in the middle of a large foyer, trimmed with wooden beams. An antique if worn rug dressed the wooden floor they stood on.<br/><br/>“Comrade.” Wen greeted, bowing, “At ease.”<br/><br/>“Thank you.” the lieutenant bowed, stepping aside, “I was alerted you'd be here to see Shàngxiào Li Chu, when I heard you were on your way I came to meet you.”<br/><br/>“Then take me to your colonel.” Huei Wen commanded with a smile. The lieutenant obliged, holding out his hands to follow as he lead him up a flight of stairs opposite the door.<br/><br/>“What's your name, comrade?” Wen asked, making polite conversation as they went along. The stairs groaned under their weight as they went along. The wooden balusters of the handrail contained carved images of deer and other wild animals at play in a forest.<br/><br/>“Zhōngwèi Kwan Lu, comrade.” the lieutenant answered, “I serve in Chu's personnel command. I was asked to meet you when you came.”<br/><br/>“Yes, as you've said.” Huei Wen commented as they crested the stairs. He scanned the walls as they went, paintings and black and white photos hung in abundance from the walls and a still homely feel was kept in the home.<br/><br/>“This site,” Wen continued, “What condition was it in when you procured it?”<br/><br/>“It was still occupied, comrade. When we arrived there was still an elderly couple residing here. It took some negotiation on Chu's part to coerce them to allow him to use their home as a command center.”<br/><br/>“Whatever did he do to see to that.” Wen mumbled with a raised brow of bemusement as he passed an old photo of a man fishing with a youth, a pipe hanging from his mouth, he also donned a heavy mustache.<br/><br/>“So long as we keep most of it to the barns the old man and woman do not get upset.” Lu pointed out, having head Wen, “Much of the command structure makes use of the guest rooms and the inhabitants keep their own bed.”<br/><br/>“I'm sure whatever suits them.” said Wen as they stopped alongside a door.<br/><br/>“Well as I hear it they're still not wholly happy but their complacent. Here's where he's set up his field office.” Lu said opening the door.<br/><br/>Wen bowed as he entered through the door, it shut softly behind him, leaving the commander alone with Li Chu.<br/><br/>Looking up from a desk in the far corner of the room the colonel stood and saluted. “Comrade Wen!” he cheered, offering a stiff salute. The officer seemed stiff. There was a nervous air to his wide smile and quick forced formality. It was as if reviewing cadets, as Wen noted to himself.<br/><br/>Chu wasn't much for a man, a boney figure who had put on some muscle. He was several days behind in shaving, and an already pronounced sharp beard was growing on his chin. “At ease.” Wen invited, looking around the room. It was sparsely decorated and many personal humanizing effects were well removed. A small dresser full of decorative trinkets sat in the corner opposite of Chu's writing desk and a tall mirror stood between the windows opposite of the room's door. Otherwise a bank of cots sat lined against the wall at regular increments, though in irregular states of disorder and decorum. “You seemed to have done well for command posts.” Wen noted with some jealousy.<br/><br/>“I do with what opportunities arise. I liked the hose since it was stone and on a hill.” Chu explained nervously. His thin brown eyes searched carefully. His entire demeanor was like that of navigating a minefield and he was searching for the next place to step.<br/><br/>“Sure, but it was occupied.” Huei Wen said stepping to the deck.<br/><br/>“I negotiated with the home-owners. We're here on their permission now.” said Chu with a smile. He held out his hand to the wooden chair alongside his desk and with an inviting smile asked: “Care to sit?”<br/><br/>“I'll stand for now, Shàngxiào. If you don't mind.”<br/><br/>“Very well, suit yourself.” nodded Chu as he resumed his seat. He fidgeted nervously with a pen in his hand and looked up, “So, what's the visit for?”<br/><br/>“I hear you had a brush in with some independent actors in your sector. I normally wouldn't think much of it but to me it sounded like they were armed pretty well, I thought you could elaborate what had happened. So much can only go over the radios.”<br/><br/>“Oh, of course.” said Chu, a relieved breath passed his lips and the stiffness in his demeanor lifted. “It was a routine interception of a Republican patrol unit searching to scout out any breaches in the security. On the way to meet with the marked detachment my unit intercepted instead a south-bound independent group who fired first on them.<br/><br/>“As word from the patrol sergeant went both sides exchanged fire. My men had taken cover on the other-side of a wooded berm. They had fallen back to that as they were crossing over the roadway and they had arrived.”<br/><br/>“How were these independents equipped?” Wen asked.<br/><br/>“Well...” Chu shrugged, “My reporting NCO said they had uniforms almost similar to the Republican military, the same green and dress of the Imperial army and the same equipment. The only notable difference is that they fought in almost a similar style to the Armenians back in the mid-seventies. They made use of civilian vehicles and fired from the backs of re-purposed utilitarian trucks.”<br/><br/>“So are you sure this wasn't a Republican relief group?”<br/><br/>“Well if it is, then it was very poorly equipped with vehicles.” Chu laughed, “Fuck, civilian cars; our intel says they still have military equipment for however long that can last. But they can't really be abandoning that so soon, can they?”<br/><br/>Huei Wen lowered his head, thinking about that. There had been some reports of sporadic engagements with unidentified forces elsewhere along the siege line. And some scouting of the city itself suggested that it was fighting itself.<br/><br/>“You don't think it's Mafiya, is it?” asked Chu.<br/><br/>“No, I doubt it.” said Wen.<br/><br/>“I see, so how should I go about proceeding? If you need to know more I can't offer you up much else.”<br/><br/>“No, I think that'll do.” Wen nodded.<br/><br/>“Well, comrade. Before you leave perhaps you could answer a question for me: when are we taking the city?”<br/><br/>Wen looked down at him and shrugged, “That'll happen when it happens.” he said simply, “Until then, hold your posts. I want future patrols to try and take something from these independents so we can get an ID on them in the future. Are we clear?”<br/><br/>“Yes sir.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Volgagrad</div><br/><br/>“You can take the couch.” Makulov's man said, directing Jun's attention to a sparse simple couch in the far corner of the apartment flat overlooking the Volga river. To Jun, the apartment was familiar in its compactness and he had memories of one like it being set on fire to kill him in Perm. However, much unlike that this was clean and didn't smell of corrosive chemicals.<br/><br/>It was in every respect, pristine. Studiously cleaned, tended and decorated. Although there were no personal effects to add to the décor of the small combination living room and kitchen small potted plants were strategically placed at the windowsills, strategically taking as much space as possible and to provide their owners with fresh herbs and spices. Taking off his boots, Jun felt the freshly vacuumed carpet under his foot.<br/><br/>It was a welcome creature comfort after having been for so long shacked up in squalor or in the wilds. He felt a sudden relief and the sore tension in him slip away. For once: he could breath.<br/><br/>“We both have the same sort of mission, so it's only fitting that we share resources. I'll let you shack up here for the time being until you can get yourself proper accommodations for the future.” the Russian spy said, “Until then, my place is yours.<br/><br/>“If you need to clean your uniform or clothes there's a wash bin in the basement of the tenanments. But you'll need to hang everything up on a line.”<br/><br/>“I understand.” said Jun. With a loud thump he threw his bag on the ground alongside the couch as he sat himself down. He brushed his hands along the short-bristled red fabric as he leaned back and felt months worth of strain leave his body.<br/><br/>“Do you want anything to drink?” the Russian agent asked as he walked to the kitchen half of the apartment. There sat on the counter-top an ice-box the size of a large radio sat alongside a sink of stained nickle.<br/><br/>“I'm fine.”<br/><br/>“Understood.” nodded the Russian.<br/><br/>Leaning into the back of the couch Jun looked over the rest of the room. On a dresser stand sat a wood-paneled radio, its top forming into a soft, tall arch and its face set with brass knobs and a woven face for the speakers. Alongside that sparse shelves with simple knick-knacks. Opposite to that and on the wall left of the entrance was where the door to the Makulov agent's room was. Tucked on the other-side of the radio display on the right wall was a cracked door, that given the light reflection of sunlight through the porch door wall alongside Jun was where the bathroom was.<br/><br/>“I'd hate to talk business so soon,” Jun's host started, holding a dark bottle of beer to his chest, “but I'm wondering: do you plan to go see your brewer man?”<br/><br/>“And what?” asked Jun<br/><br/>“Tell him what happened.”<br/><br/>Jun shook his head, “Nothing's happened yet.”<br/><br/>“How can you be so sure, you made the deal with Batista then.”<br/><br/>“I'm not working for him, not yet at least.”<br/><br/>“Ok.” the agent shrugged. He took a swig from the bottle and wandered over to the doorwall, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his pants. Outside the mid-day sun was beginning to wane and soon it'd be evening. “And another thing,” the other man started, “and this is completely independent, but since you're here: there is going to be some big conference thing in town.” he waved a hand behind him, towards where the heart of Volgagrad was no doubt, “I approached the city as an independent man for hire to run security there; but really to just get inside. I could use backup.”<br/><br/>“Backup?”<br/><br/>“Of course.” the host nodded, “Nothing amazing, but someone else there to pass off as a business partner. I don't know how deep they'll let you go in if at all. But it's happening soon, I can recommend you.<br/><br/>“Between the two of us we can get information important to both of our parties and mission. It's mutual benefit in mutual work, against mutual enemies. How do you say?”<br/><br/>Jun looked up at him, cocking his jaw to the side. He didn't know what to make of it, and it produced itself from thin air. “What's it about?” he asked.<br/><br/>The man shrugged, “I don't know.” he admitted, “There was a small announcement made some time ago about hosting representatives from across the Volga Confederacy. There'll be some other smaller parties in attendance too. I can only expect dirty political business so having two ears there will be a great help. We'll share and collaborate information on what happened at the end of the day. Then after – or during, who knows – Batista will have you in his employ and making good on his word.”<br/><br/>“Sounds interesting, but can I really hold Batista up to it?”<br/><br/>The Russian host laughed, a guttural honest laugh. “Of course.” he cackled, “He may be a former fucking autocrat but he knows when someone can tighten the vice on his balls. Of course don't push him, or he'll as soon have someone pull your guts out over Old Sarepta.”<br/><br/>“Would this hurt my chances with him, going to this conference?”<br/><br/>Again, the host laughed, “Fuck no.” he crooned, “The Confederacy isn't much of a nation as it is a collection of mutual city-states and organizations with land claims. A few enclaves here and there who would rather not. But a lot have their stake in it, especially after the Turks fucked off. Mafiya included. Batista's a stake-holder but himself not big enough to attend.<br/><br/>“I can get you in to work it with me, among the muscle there, simply being there will be enough for some respect. You get the protect some of the more powerful known gangsters in southern Russia!” he laughed.</div>"

December 15th, 1970.</span></span><br/>--------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Viktor Laine was trapped. In the morning he had killed a Tsar, and there was no getting away with that. The entire city was looking for him. He could hear sirens; they echoed everywhere. It made it impossible to tell where they were coming from, and he was giving up trying. It was only a matter of time before he was caught.<br/><br/>He and his partner in the assassination, Juhani Mikael, had lived the last month on the run. Energy had come from hate. They had drank melted snow, and ate what scraps they could steal. Sleep happened in shorts shifts. The horror they had felt after the destruction of the Vallankumous kept them going, along with their single murderous goal. <br/><br/>Buy now the goal was achieved. Juhani was gone. All of Viktor's energy was sapped, and he was too tired to run. He had nothing to run to.<br/><br/>But he trudged on, exhausted rather than afraid. He was in the alley of a half-abandoned slum. Wood houses closed in around him, stacked on one another and tied together with planks and stairs. He dragged his feet through the mud in search of peace. <br/><br/>A crude wood stair brought him one story above the road. From here, he could see a slice of Moscow. Blue lights flashed above streets he couldn't see. The view was not enough, and he could not devise a way out of the city. Did he even want to? Did he still have any desires at all? He felt like a street dog, fleeing when people threw rocks, and nipping at anybody who came near. Life with no personality or reason. Just going through the motions. <br/><br/>Fuck it.<br/><br/>He pushed through a pitiful door and broke into a pauper's apartment. Nobody was home. There was a single bed with stained blankets, an empty basin atop a table, and cupboards with chipped doors. Naked insulation covered the walls. It was the bed that caught his attention. He wanted to lay down and sleep. When they found him, he wanted them to kill him in this bed. Rest forever.<br/><br/>He rifled through the room, looking for anything he might make use of. There were canned soups, and a few sacks of crackers. He turned to see what else there was and came face to face with a mirror. It was the first time he had seen a clear image of himself since the fall of the Vallankumous. Ruined. That was the first thing he thought. He was underfed and bruised. A blonde beard was beginning to grow back, and he was balding. His injuries were a painful reminder of Juhani: the friend who had sacrificed himself to the cause hours earlier. Juhani had been a taller man, with deep set features. Easier to look at than the unhappily aging Viktor. He had spent the last month watching Juhani wear down like this, and seeing himself brought back those memories. Painful memories that reminded him his life was over. <br/><br/>Juhani had been the better man. He never lost sight of his humanity no matter what happened. In the end, it had been him who chose to sacrifice himself. But he would be forgotten. They would both be forgotten. Nobody else had witnessed their struggle. Perhaps they would be recognized, but what would happen to the story? Vallankumous' only witness would be the Russians who hated them.<br/><br/>A final act. A goal. He grabbed on to it with all his remaining strength. He found paper and a blunt pencil, and began to write.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-i"">They were complete opposites, but with a friendship closer than any had ever seen. <br/>Viktor was the calm, logical, and at times, seemingly cold leader. He was willing to sacrifice<br/>a village if it meant a guarantee for a greater victory. He seemed emotionless, soulless.<br/><br/>Juhani? Juhani would risk an entire battalion for a child in a burning building...</span></div><br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------<br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Present Day, on the Road to Volgograd.</span></span><br/>--------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Russia was nothing like Sahle had imagined it. This was supposed to be the country of Siberia, with frozen lakes and mountains blanketed in snow all year long. Instead, all he saw was nothingness. It was like the blank ground on which God had made the earth. There was nothing but grass and dirt, and there wasn't as much as a molehill to break the horizon. Even the small towns they passed were flat and lifeless. Sahle felt blessed just to see a tree. <br/><br/>He woke up feeling somewhat better than before, but his skin was still clammy and his stomach felt useless and unsettled. He rode in the passenger's side of Sorokin's armored truck. Vasily drove.<br/><br/>The horsemen in their caravan fascinated Sahle. They looked like modern soldiers, but they insisted on riding horses. He watched them canter along the trucks. They moved as they pleased - men keeping pace with each other to chat, or galloping to the river when it came near to the road. He wondered what it felt like to ride a horse.<br/><br/>""The last time I was in Volgograd, I found a little cart in front of a laundromat called... ah, I don't know what it was called."" said Vasily. He was staring straight ahead. ""But they sold the food of Italy. Noodles.""<br/><br/>""Why do they ride horses?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""Mmm. Those are Cossacks. Not all of them ride horses. Some of them ride in trucks, or just walk.""<br/><br/>""Why horses? Farmers in my homeland still use them, but soldiers? That seems outdated.""<br/><br/>""A horse can go places that a truck cannot. It is good for that. And you don't have to get petroleum for a horse.""<br/><br/>""That's true."" Sahle now wondered why horses fell out of favor in the first place. ""So Cossack means horseman?""<br/><br/>""No. It is a more specific word. The Cossacks are... in the old days, before there was a Russia, the plains were ruled by horsemen. The ancestors of Attila the Hun came from this place. But then we Russians came. We came to rule over the horsemen. The Tsars were smart men, and they saw the horsemen as an opportunity, and so they payed them to fight for Russia. That was a long time ago. Our Cossacks are not the same as those men. But the idea of hiring non-Russian people to fight has survived because people in the south have been fighting in organized bands for so long it is normal to them. Some of these men fought as Imperial Cossacks for the last Tsar.""<br/><br/>""Only some?""<br/><br/>Vasily shrugged. ""When there was no Tsar, and the Communists and Turks came calling, the Cossacks found another reason to exist.""<br/><br/>""So the Tsar of Russia still had horsemen in his army? My grandfather did away with Ethiopia's cavalry around the time I was born.""<br/><br/>""The Imperial Cossacks stopped using horses after the Great War. They ride horses now because there isn't much money in Russia, and horsemen can cover a lot of ground in the countryside. I know that the Communists in the north use horses also.""   <br/><br/>""I can see why you are one of Sorokin's favorites."" Sahle said.<br/><br/>""You can? Because I know what a Cossack is?""<br/><br/>""You know things. It's lucky the band happened to walk into <span class=""bb-i"">your</span> bar.""<br/><br/>""Oh no, not surprising at all. A band comes to Sevan to play music because it is the best place to do that. A Russian comes to Sevan because it is full of Russians and Chinese willing to help the cause. There were plenty of people like me in Armenia.""<br/><br/>""Vladmira."" Sahle remembered. <br/><br/>They stopped to rest and stretch their legs. Vasily and Sorokin consulted with the men, speaking below Sahle's ability to hear. The weather was warmer than it ever had been in Sevan. The sun felt beautiful on his forehead. Motion and warmth woke his sleeping bladder, and he stepped down in a ditch to piss.<br/><br/>Sahle looked out across the empty plain and imagined Vasily's horsemen. He could see it now, how difficult it would have been before the invention of the automobile to live any other way but as horsemen here. It was too massive of a place, where people could get lost under the monumental sky. Better to thunder across the fields on horseback.<br/><br/>When he was empty, he went back to the stopped caravan. Regina was with a woman who he had thought to be one of her guards at first, but observation said otherwise. She was unarmed, and doted on Regina like a nurse. There was nothing soldier-like about her. Sahle wondered if the woman was Regina's mother.<br/><br/>""Sahle."" Sorokin's kindly voice caught his attention. The Colonel had broke away from the rest of the officers. ""I have decided that Regina will ride in the front. She should see some of this country. You will ride in the back with me and the men.""<br/><br/>Sahle complied. Regina and the woman who followed her climbed into the front with Vasily.<br/><br/>The back of the truck was cut off from the front by a wall. It was a troop carrier, with benches along the sides. A couple of guards rode with them. The air was humid there, and claustrophobia made Sahle nauseous all over again. The engine coughed and came to life. He felt the truck jerk forward, and heard the groan of metal. They were moving. <br/><br/>""I find it almost unbelievable."" Sorokin said. <br/><br/>""What?""<br/><br/>""You are an Emperor.. I believe you, because Vasily would have no reason to invent a story like this. But it is still difficult to imagine. Why would somebody of royal blood want to play slum music in Armenia?""<br/><br/>""It wasn't something I chose to do.""<br/><br/>""You said that before. I don't know much about what happened in Africa when you were Emperor.""<br/><br/>""I was driven out by the commander of my army, a man called Ras Hassan. He put my brother on the throne.""<br/><br/>""I have heard that name. Ras Hassan. He was the man who tortured children in the Congo? Brutal leader. It takes somebody like that to toss a chosen King from his seat, morally speaking.""<br/><br/>Sahle said nothing. He did not know what to say. At first, he had hated Hassan and Yaqob for the war, but now? He was beginning to believe he deserved what happened.<br/><br/>""You look uncertain."" Sorokin tilted his head. ""Would you say you were a good king?""<br/><br/>""My father was a good King. I knew that when he took the throne. It wasn't what he did. I don't really know what he did; I didn't pay attention as much as I should have. But... it was the way he carried himself. He knew what he was doing, always. I never saw my father question himself. Until the day he died, it seemed he had everything under control.""<br/><br/>Sorokin smiled warmly. ""That isn't just the way of Kings. It is the way of good fathers too. My father was like that. A king in his household. You see families where the fathers have died in war, and the women try to take care of the children. They never work. Without guidance, the children turn to crime. Or begging. I think it is just the way of human nature.""<br/><br/>""Maybe that is where I went wrong. When father died, I did not know what to do. He made it look so easy...""<br/><br/>""And the people around you used the opportunity. They reached up and took what wasn't theirs to take. You had Hassan and your brother. Russia had the rebels of 1970. It ends the same. Calamity. Always calamity.""<br/><br/>""It doesn't matter. I don't have a place anymore. I'm just along for the ride. At least for now."" Dammit. Sahle felt alone and exhausted. He wished he could find Marc and get another fix. Hell, even alcohol would work.<br/><br/>""Here"" Sorokin, as if he were telepathic, handed Sahle a pocket-flask. ""I carry this for good health. You look like you could use some drink.""<br/><br/>He could. He took it gratefully and gulped down a couple of drops. Vodka burned his mouth, but damn did it feel good. When Sahle handed it back, Sorokin took a swig.<br/><br/>""I will introduce you to General Rykov the first chance we get. Remember that you are only Sahle to the people who I introduce you to. Regina's teacher has been informed, as has my guard. Outside of this truck however, you are an unknown. Samel again if you must be.""<br/><br/>""Regina's teacher. I thought that was her mother.""<br/><br/>Sorokin's face fell. He looked as if his whole body had became heavy at once. ""Her mother passed away long ago.""<br/><br/>Sahle said nothing. The situation was too uncomfortable for him now. He rested his head against the cold steel wall and tried to think of other things while the truck's vibrations massaged his skull. <br/><br/>They stopped a second time, this time because a number of cattle were blocking the road. When Sahle came out of the back of the truck, he saw that Vasily had hopped out: first to argue with the cattle, and then to argue with their owner. They had to wait until it was cleared up. When it was time to go Sahle climbed into the back. He found himself joined by Regina and her teacher this time.<br/><br/>""I thought you were riding...?"" he asked, gesturing toward the front of the truck. <br/><br/>""Radmila was carsick"" Regina said. They were moving again<br/><br/>Radmila. That was the name of this teacher. She was gap-toothed brunette who Sahle estimated to be in her mid-thirties. Her eyes - youthful grey - were focused on him.<br/><br/>""What does it feel like."" the grown woman said, eyes flashing. ""Being a King?""<br/><br/>""It's been a few years."" Sahle stalled. ""Ah... I was always trying to keep something from happening. There was always something. I had people who told me what to do to make what I didn't want to happen not happen. But then when I thought everything was fine, something new came up.""<br/><br/>""Your brother is Yaqob II of Ethiopia? The Communist?""<br/><br/>""I guess."" <br/><br/>""I've read about him in the newspapers. I remember when you were in the news too. It's so strange, being in the same car as you.""  <br/><br/>Sahle smirked. ""It's stranger being me.""<br/><br/>""So does all of Africa have the same Emperor?"" Regina interrupted. Sahle was amused by how the little girl acted. She carried herself like a young musician who, having played one performance on stage, decided they were the new Mozart. Too much self-certainty for such a small girl. ""I have heard your brother called by that title. Interesting that such a thing would be possible.""<br/><br/>""My father was Emperor of one third of Africa. So was I. And Yaqob.""<br/><br/>""How did that happen?"" Regina sounded amazed.<br/><br/>Sahle had no answer. How had it happened? That was his father's miracle. Something pulled together from rebels and dreamers in the few places where people paid attention to governments. It became clear he had nothing to say.<br/><br/>""People need leadership, Regina."" Radmila said. She spoke at the girl, but her eyes were on Sahle. She was giving him her best gap-toothed smile. ""It's like green eyes. A rare trait that most people can't have. But if you are in an old family, it's something that has been passed down to you. Correct, your majesty? I do not know much about your history, actually. We should discuss it some time.""<br/><br/>""Make that a date."" Sahle said. ""Once I get my bearings. If I get my bearing.""<br/><br/>""You have been through a lot."" <br/><br/>Sahle chuckled. ""I don't know the half of it.""<br/><br/>They spent the time making awkward small talk, which all seemed to blur together as the words droned on. The talk followed the same pattern so that it almost became a sort of boring poetry. When it was done, they stopped for a third time. The sun seemed brighter.<br/><br/>The flatness was still out there; miles and miles of it, without any hint that there was an end. Perhaps this was Russia. Maybe the snowy peaks and forested hills were postcard images from the northern fringes of a boring and empty land. How long would he be here?<br/><br/>When it was time to go, he was in the front again. Vasily had climbed into the turret, leaving the blonde-haired woman who had been in it before now in the driver's seat. Sahle was starting to feel like he was being put on tour. <br/><br/>She was something of an amazon - thick-shouldered, thin-lipped, and straight-faced. Her countenance was single minded. Focused, undistracted. It reminded Sahle of how he had seen adults when he was a child. Completely in control. <br/><br/>""You do not look like an Emperor."" she said, not looking at him. ""Your majesty, I should say.""<br/><br/>""What does an Emperor look like?""<br/><br/>""I do not know. I have not seen one. But I doubt they look like you.""<br/><br/>""Well, I sold the crown for booze money.""<br/><br/>She cracked an ornery smile. ""I don't doubt that.""<br/><br/>""What is your name?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""Uliana. I would ask you, but I know your name.""<br/><br/>Sahle smiled. ""You don't look like a soldier.""<br/><br/>She feigned offense. ""Can women not be soldiers? I think you don't understand things. I can shoot just as straight as a man. Straighter, since I do not have to... I don't know."" she couldn't keep it up, and started giggling. ""I don't have to balance two balls in my pants.""<br/><br/>""I guess a gun makes it more fair.""<br/><br/>""I can fight a man with my fists too. I would show you, but I need my fists to steer.""<br/><br/>""Don't have to tell me. I don't think I could fight you.""<br/><br/>""Oh. That is a thing to say for a man.""<br/><br/>""I am good at other things."" <br/><br/>She bobbed her head slowly. For a moment, there was silence. Then she spoke again.<br/><br/>""You know, I could teach you a few things. You might need to know, since you are with us now and not in a band.""<br/><br/>""Guns?""<br/><br/>She shrugged. ""Sure. It is what I know.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>It was getting dark when they stopped. They were on the edge of some city. Sahle surmised this from the lazy light on the horizon, and the increasing number of scattered villages they passed. The convoy left the main road, entering onto a chipped and abandoned road that led off toward the river Volga, which had joined them not too long ago. Trees and green clung to its banks.<br/><br/>The vibe in this place was chilly. They passed through a ruined gate, and onto the the ground of a moldering mansion. It looked like a haunted house from a movie. The architecture had the somber stonework of the post-war period, rusty-pink coloring the stone. The windows and attractive balustrades hinted at an older aristocratic taste. A dry fountain, filled with trash and debris, waited silently in front, centered by a column with the likeness of a straight-backed Slavic warrior carved into its four sides. It looked like half of the mansion had collapsed, as had much of the roof.<br/><br/>The caravan of vehicles fanned out and formed perimeter in front of the mansion. Their engines went silent one after the other. Uliana slammed open her door and climbed out. Sahle followed. A warm summer air greeted him, carrying the melody of the insects that teemed along the banks of the Volga. The burnt stench of diesel polluted this place now. The grounds, having slumbered in ruin for so long, now squirmed with Russians. He followed Uliana into the house itself.<br/><br/>Sorokin stood in a room opened to the outside by a collapsed wall and roof. Beams from flashlights flitted across mildewed walls, from the men exploring the cavernous rooms enclosed in the still standing structure.<br/><br/>""Look at this, Samel."" Sorokin said. There was a hint of wonder in his voice. His eyes were cast upward. <br/><br/>Sahle looked up. Remnants of the ceiling still clung to chipped walls. A vaulted ceiling, like that of an Italian church, immense and exalted. Cracked against a sunset sky, however, it just looked sad and forgotten.<br/><br/>""They used to call it the Pink Palace. One of the Czar's summer estates, built after the war so he could visit the Turkish border with more ease. I only visited it once.""<br/><br/>""You got to visit the Tsar?"" <br/><br/>Sorokin looked down at the ground. ""I used to be a member of his guard, before everything fell apart. I did not know the man, but I met him many times.""<br/><br/>Knowing that Sorokin had once served here, when the building was still in use, made the place seem somehow more real. He could see it now - lustrous furniture instead of the rotten sofa, the smell of feasts and perfume instead of insidious decay. Perhaps there had been murals on the ceiling.<br/><br/>""Imagine, your majesty, if this was your home? That is how I feel about Russia. Everything that we once had is now... this. Russia once contested with Europe. We fought back the children of Chingis Khan. We froze Napoleon's armies. And our people looked up at places like this and knew that, whatever his faults, their Tsar was strong. He could protect them. Now? They steal bricks from this place. They piss in the fountain while herding their goats past the ruins.""<br/><br/>Oh god, Sahle thought. This was happening to Ethiopia now. <br/><br/>""I think."" Sorokin did not seem to see Sahle anymore. He was lost in his own world. ""If you need to know why we hate the Communists, you only need look here. The Finns only killed our Tsar. The Bolsheviks desecrated his country.""<br/><br/>""Some day you will have it again."" Sahle's voice cracked as he spoke. What else was he supposed to say?<br/><br/>""I know."" Sorokin said. There was no question in his voice.<br/><br/>When the sweep of the place was finished, sleeping bags were set in the dark rooms, lined along the walls and the floors. Regina and Radmila entered with the others and conferred with Sorokin. Sahle's main concern was finding some place that didn't stink too bad. <br/><br/>He found a place to lay down. Slowly, one by one, so did the rest. Sound died away until there was only the quiet burble of the river, and the muttering of the Cossacks left on guard duty outside.<br/><br/>At night, ruins do something to the nerves. It's that idea of a haunting - that something dead, whether a man or a house, must contain some essence of it's former life. In theology, only people have souls, but to the instinct of the heart, everything has a soul, and the soul of a broken place can always be sensed. His nostrils filled with dizzying mold, and his eyes denied sight by the darkness, Sahle felt the depressed soul of this place. He was more aware now than he had been for a long while. It felt as if he had fallen into a dream somewhere in Cairo, and was just now waking up. Sleep came to him in pitiful doses. <br/><br/>Perhaps, he thought, if he could see the moon, and get out of the oppressive ruin for long enough to recover. Then when he went back, sleep would come easily. He committed to this. Standing up in the pitch black was a struggle, as was navigating the room with nothing to navigate by. All he could see was the rectangle opening of the doorway, and the open space of the ruin washed over by moonlight. <br/><br/>He found it easier to breath in the open air of the collapse. The moon peaked between the crevices of the ruined ceiling. He thought, cautiously, of how far he should wander. There was no reason to go out into the woods and beyond the fence. The Cossacks would likely not allow it anyway. Instead, he contented himself standing where the floor and smashed bricks faded into the mud of the outdoor world. He wondered what exact direction Sevan was from where he was standing. What was Aaliyah doing now? Where was Addis Ababa? What fight was his brother and sister fighting?<br/><br/>""Your majesty."" He heard Sorokin's voice whisper behind him. He smelled alcohol on the man's breath. Startle, Sahle nearly hopped up.<br/><br/>""Sorry."" Sorokin said. ""I saw you wander over here. Trouble sleeping?""<br/><br/>""It's been a long week."" Sahle replied.<br/><br/>""I do not sleep well either. Not with the burden of command. Come, walk with me. We should talk.""<br/><br/>Sahle obliged. They strolled through the building, passing through darkened halls and into other open rooms he had not noticed before. <br/><br/>""Tomorrow we will go to Volgograd. You will meet General Rykov before any other these meetings proceed. He should know who you are.""<br/><br/>""You trust him?"" Sahle asked tentatively. <br/><br/>""Yes."" Sorokin said. ""I trust him like a father. He has done more for the memory of Russia than any other man in the ruins of our country.""<br/><br/>Sahle had no other choice but to trust him too.<br/><br/>""Let me explain some things to you."" He said. They passed through a door guarded by two Cossacks, and into another dark room. ""Things are going to start moving quickly. You will be tossed into a tumult you did not ask for, and that is not your own. The Republic is dead.""<br/><br/>They came to Sorokin's room. His daughter was fast asleep in a cot opposite from the one Sorokin sat in. Sahle found a seat on a nearby crate after moving the half-drank bottle of liquor balanced on it's edge.<br/><br/>""It has been happening for some time. The Republic is losing control of the Urals very rapidly. That has been a disaster all its own, but now it is found that the President of the Republic has disappeared.""<br/><br/>""Did he run away?"" Sahle asked in a whisper.<br/><br/>""Rumor has it that he was kidnapped. We do not know much more.""<br/><br/>""What does this mean?"" Sahle did not know much of Russian politics, but a phrase like 'The President has been kidnapped.' carries an obvious amount of alarm.<br/><br/>""That means that Volgograd will have to reassess. But my comrades in this nation will reassess with knowledge you do not have. Knowledge you should have. There are truths to this conflict that the public are not aware of.""<br/><br/>Sorokin looked at his boots and shook his head. He seemed amused. ""I have told this to several people before. My life has been a burden to me, you know? That I have my command to consider, and my patriotic duty. I have Regina to consider too."" he nodded at his daughter. She was still fast asleep, tangled in a woolen blanket.<br/><br/>""Yes, I have told several people before. Many times. But it never comes easy. I used to have help in this before. My last position in the service of my country was to protect the daughter of the Tsar. I failed this. And the horrible thing? I met her killers in the hall, after the murder. Before I knew what had happened. They were dressed as Janitors. I told them they were not supposed to be there. Then I let them go.""<br/><br/>""You didn't know."" Sahle comforted.<br/><br/>""That is my burden to bear."" Sorokin nodded. ""I accept that I was at fault. There was a lurking danger at the time, all Russians felt it, but there was no reason to take that feeling seriously. Not until the moment that... that Grand Duchess Alisa died. And I have found a way to redeem myself."" Sorokin looked back over, at the sleeping girl.<br/><br/>Sahle felt a pang for his mother. Parenthood. He had lost both of his parents, and had no plans to have children of his own. There was too much living to do. Children were an impediment. <br/><br/>""When her mother died, I made it my singular work to protect her from the world. That is all I could do. You would do the same for your brother's son, would you not?""<br/><br/>""I would."" Sahle answered without question.<br/><br/>""It is the honorable thing."" Sorokin said. ""The just thing. When she was pulled from her mother...""<br/><br/>""Did the war take your wife?"" Sahle asked sympathetically. <br/><br/>""I never was married."" Sorokin smiled. ""I guess this is what I am struggling to say. I am Regina's parent, but I am not her father. He was a different man, lost in the early days of the war, and I never met him but from afar. Regina's mother was my charge. Alisa would have given birth to her if she had lived.""<br/><br/>""Alisa?"" Sahle wasn't sure he had heard right. ""The...""<br/><br/>""Grand Duchess."" Sorokin inhaled deeply when he was done. They both looked at Regina. ""She is the last surviving grandchild of Tsar Peter IV. Rescued from the slain body of his daughter by a doctor who I respect above all other men in our country.""<br/><br/>Regina looked different to him now. He could see it. She was nothing like the lumpy Sorokin. But royalty? This had to be a scheme. What had he gotten into?<br/><br/>""How can you prove it?""<br/><br/>""I and my colleagues have convinced the people that matter. Otherwise, I cannot prove it. But the people who I am going to meet know, and they are convinced. Don't you think, Emperor Sahle, that if I were an ambitious man producing a fake pretender, I would have been happy to sell you to the highest bidder? That is the only evidence I can produce for you.""<br/><br/>It was unbelievable. How had this not come to light sooner? Even though he saw her in a different light now, not as the daughter of some border guard, but the very purpose of his entire command, the idea of the thing was impossible to swallow. <br/><br/>""That is why I have kept you with me, Emperor Sahle. Think of it. My instinct, when I found out who you here, was to leave you somewhere. Not kill you - that would be regicide, worst thing that could be done. But I am not responsible for you, you are not my King. I could have abandoned you and looked the other way. But I didn't. I didn't because I think you want to find a place to survive. A place that isn't a prison. Well, Sahle, this is your place. I have done everything that I can to give Regina an education, but I lack anybody who knows the true difficulties of monarchy. No close enough adviser had been produced, they all died early in the war. But to give her the instruction of a living monarch? That is an opportunity that is worth the risk.""<br/><br/>""You want me to teach your da... the Queen?""<br/><br/>""Tsarina. Yes.""<br/><br/>Sahle almost laughed. Him? To teach the girl how to rule a country? She was better suited to teach him.<br/><br/>But looking at her, he could only feel the weight of the situation he had found himself in. Why had she been kept secret for so long? What happens now? There was clearly an unspoken assumption that she would ascend to her throne, but there was no way the Chinese would allow it. But where else was he to go? This was the last choice he had left to make, as far as he could tell.<br/><br/>""I will do it."" he said. His mouth was dry.</div>"

He could hear the music in his head even before it started. The music had been with him nearly all his life. It was how he'd ended up in New York ten years ago as a gofer for Jackie Cleghorn, head of production for Champion Records. Jackie was talented and helped Sam, a kid fresh off the streets of Harlem, rise through the Champion ranks, from the mailroom to the studio. Jackie now ran Champion and Sam was his go-to guy for production. And now, after years doing things the way they were supposed to, he was about to do it the way he wanted to.<br/><br/>In the recording booth facing him, Sadie sat on a stool and looked at him with a nervous look on her face. She had a pair of headphones around her neck and suspended inches away from her face was a microphone. Her large almond colored eyes were like saucers, so filled with anxiety and dread at what was about to come next. She wore a gingham dress, the finest piece of clothing a poor black girl from Alabama was able to own.<br/><br/>""We ready yet, Sammy?""<br/><br/>Sam turned around to the small group gathered behind him. Three of Champion Records most senior executives smoked cigarettes and checked their watches anxiously. <br/><br/>""Almost,"" he said as he turned back to the mixer. ""And... there.""<br/><br/>Smiling, he turned around to face the men. The difference between him and them was apparent to anyone who could see them. First off Sam was black whereas the other men in the room were white. The executives wore dark suits, were clean shaven with short hair. The tight curls of Sam's hair were growing up and together into what most folks called a natural, but and he had heard them call it a ""fro"" down South. A thick growth of stubble on his face was rapidly becoming a beard. He wore blue jeans, a black button-up shirt unbuttoned at the neck, a leather jacket, and boots. He looked more like a biker than one of Champion Records' top producers. <br/><br/>""So,"" Sam started, pausing to pull a cigarette from his jacket pocket and light it up. ""Backstory time. I know Pete knows about my trip cross country, but you two don't so pretty much for the last six months I've been spending a lot of time in the South scouting talent. Champion needs a new sound, guys.""<br/><br/>One of the suits began to talk before Pete, the thin blonde man closest to Sam, raised a hand.<br/><br/>""I agree with Sam on that one. We keep pushing the same old rehash of Mariano and the Moonlights and Boppin' Barry tunes. Barry's last record barely cracked into the top fifty. We are getting our tails kicked here at home and abroad by people unafraid to take a chance."" Pete scowled and exhaled a cloud of smoke. ""I mean, goddammit, the number one hit in the country is that fucking 'Swiggity Swooty' bullshit from Spain. A bunch of gibberish--""<br/><br/>""But it's the music,"" Sam cut in. ""It's coming from Spain, but it's as American as apple pie. It's an extension of what the Chinese did with Harvey Edwards, blending traditional black music with new innovations and styles. That's what I want Champion to do. The success international proves that there is a place for this type of music.""<br/><br/>""And that's why A&amp;R authorized the trip,"" Pete said with a nod.<br/><br/>""I went through twelve states, hitting every small town church and black juke joint I could find and what I came back with?""<br/><br/>Sam turned away from the men and looked through the glass at Sadie. Little Sadie Hamilton, maybe a hundred pounds soaking wet and just old enough to not need her mother or grandmother to travel west with her.<br/><br/>""You ready, dear?""<br/><br/>""Yes, Mr. Telford,"" her voice squeaked through the speakers.<br/><br/>He smiled and winked at her.<br/><br/>""Put your headphones on, honey. And remember to sing it like you'd do back home in Selmer, nobody watching except the folks at choir practice.""<br/><br/>Sadie nodded and put her headphones on. Sam started the backing track he and the studio musicians spent a solid week recording and getting right. Sadie took a breath and closed her eyes.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou2vVeRXO_s"" rel=""nofollow"">Music</a><br/><br/>Sam turned around to watch the look on the men's faces as Sadie's singing voice came through the speakers. Pete's eyes went wide and looked through the glass to confirm that this mighty voice was coming from that little girl. Sam laughed at the sight and expelled cigarette smoke out of his mouth. Sam finished his cigarette while the gobsmacked executives listened to little Sadie belt out with all the emotion and pain of a woman twice her age. <br/><br/>""This is the future of Champion Records,"" Sam said as he stubbed out the cigarette butt. ""This is the future of American music. Sadie is the strongest voice, but I have another dozen gospel singers, honkey tonk players, and small town musicians that can all be put on the Champion label for cheap and produce this new sound. They're all black, but they are all talented and they are just what we need.""<br/><br/>The three men huddled together and talked as Sadie built up to the climax of her song. The guitar riff, played by Sam himself, strummed along with her soulful crooning and the sax wailed. The huddle broke up and the white men all looked at Sam.<br/><br/>""You know what carte blanche means, Sam?"" Pete asked.<br/><br/>""Oui,"" Sam said with a wink. <br/><br/>""You get Sadie and two more recruits,"" the older man beside Pete said. Jerry something. ""We want this song of hers released as a record and records from the other two. If we like what we hear, and if what we hear sales, then we'll bring them all out.""<br/><br/>""Mr. Telford?""<br/><br/>Sam turned to look through the glass. Sadie was watching him with her big eyes wide.<br/><br/>""How'd I do, sir?""<br/><br/>Sam smiled and leaned into the microphone on the mixer. <br/><br/>""It if were any more perfect, you'd have made me cry. Come on out here, sweetie, and we'll get lunch."" Sam stood up and looked at Pete and the other two men. ""Sadie Hamilton, gentlemen. Look out Boppin' Barry, she is going to be the star of the Champion Pantheon.""<br/><br/>Yes, Sam Telford could hear the music in his head. And now it was finally coming out.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Battle Creek, Michigan</span><br/><br/>Johnny Legarrio was mad as hell.<br/><br/>He drove down the highway in the middle of the night, checking his rearview mirror every few seconds for any new cars that may have appeared behind him. He saw the two big duffle bags in the mirror, each one stuffed to the brim with cash. Johnny's heavy coat hid the body armor strapped to his chest. Dried blood was caked on his hands. It wasn't his blood. He fumed and kept the hunk of junk he was driving at sixty. His car was back in Chicago. It was too conspicuous to be used as a getaway car today.<br/><br/>The radio in the car played some god awful bluegrass music. He reached over and cruised up and down the dial until he found a talk radio show giving the news.<br/><br/>""Two men are still at large after tonight's daring bank robbery of the First National Bank in downtown Chicago. Masked and armed with weapons, four men came in after hours and managed to abscond with over nine hundred thousand dollars in twenties, fifties, and hundreds. Police soon arrived on the scene and a gun battle took place, killing two of the robbers before the remaining two split up and disappeared through downtown Chicago, one on foot and the other in an automobile. Both men have currently alluded police capture and police are seeking any information on their whereabouts.""<br/><br/>Johnny listened to the rest of the news story with half concentration. There were no leads on his whereabouts, and so far they hadn't publically identified the rest of his crew. Everyone but him and Prussian Joe was dead, gunned down by the cops. One of the cops blew Mick Mahoney's brains out before the guy could even move. Blood spattered Johnny's chest and arms. The cops showed up way too fast for his taste. They were promised more time to get the money and get out there, but they didn't get that time. He gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles were white. Bukowski. Goddamn, Bukowski had sold them out, the son of a bitch. He'd given his word they would have hours before the police arrived. The fat bastard must have gotten greedy and double-crossed them. The odds on Bukowski being there at the farmhouse waiting was too unlikely. Johnny had the money. Prussian Joe was still out in the wind, but the little guy could disappear like a ghost. Not Johnny Legs, though. He was too big of a loose end, and no way cops would be there waiting at the farmhouse for an arrest. Bukowski wanted that money all to himself.<br/><br/>An hour later he turned off the highway and headed down a dirt road towards the established rendezvous point. He could just keep going. He had the money, for Christ sake. But he didn't want to do that. He wanted to pay Bukowski back for what he had done, the bastard. Plus, running meant Bobby C. would be hot on his heels. A creeping doubt in the back of his head bothered Johnny. What if the double cross wasn't Bukowski acting on his own? What if he got sanction from Bobby C. on this one?<br/><br/>Johnny started to slow the junk heap down as the farmhouse got nearer. The time for the meeting was supposed to be four in the morning, an hour from now, but he was sure Bukowski was already hiding somewhere in the dilapidated barn. He pulled to the side of the road twenty miles from the farm and got Johnny lugged the two duffle bags filled with cash into the woods beside the road and left them there. He got a tire iron out of the trunk and placed it on the ground beside the road, marking the place for his return trip, and got back in the car. A half hour later he came to an old and rotting farmhouse and barn. He pulled into the driveway and slowly pulled up to the barn.<br/><br/>A parked sedan was waiting beside the barn. The windows were rolled down, and Johnny could hear a golden oldies station playing Mariano and the Moonlights. Johnny reached into his jacket and got out the pistol he'd used at the bank. Keeping it low, he stepped out the car and approached the parked car.<br/><br/>""Not so fast,"" a voice said from behind.<br/><br/>He felt a hard something in his back. A pudgy hand slapped the pistol from his hand and spun Johnny around. He looked into the fat and gloating face of Chicago PD Lieutenant Stephen Bukowski, head of the department's prestigious Special Robbery Unit. He was also supposed to be their inside man in the bank robbery. His job was to get them plans and details about the bank and surrounding area and provide them protection from the cops. He had done the first part well but failed spectacularly in the second regard.<br/><br/>""You sold us out,"" Johnny said calmly.<br/><br/>""I just did some simple math,"" Bukowski said with a large grin. ""This money divides up better one way than six. That is after I give Bobby C. his cut.""<br/><br/>""And you'll think he'll just abide you double-crossing us like this?"" Johnny asked with a raised eyebrow. ""I'm a made man in the Outfit. They won't take kindly to you rubbing out one of their own.""<br/><br/>Bukowski shrugged. ""I'll tell him you pulled the double-cross. Tried to skip out with the money after it went sideways. I caught you in the nick of time, though, but see you fought back and I had to kill you. Damn shame. It's a stupid move, but Bobby C. is gonna expect it, kid. Stupid is your middle name, after all.""<br/><br/>Johnny felt white-hot rage at the last part. It was all he could do right now to not try to fight Bukowski, even with the gun aimed at him. Instead, he kept his hands up as Bukowski backed away from him and shuffled towards the junk heap. Johnny stayed as still as he could while the fat man looked through the back of the car for the cash.<br/><br/>""Where is it?!""<br/><br/>""In the trunk. I got the key right here.""<br/><br/>Bukowski stared at him through the dark and started towards him. Just then, Bopppin' Barry Chambers came on the radio and crooned.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""Strangers in the night exchanging glances<br/>Wondering in the night what were the chances,<br/>We'd be sharing love before the night was through?""</span><br/><br/>Bukowski began to rifle through Johnny's jacket pockets and found no keys. The cop started in through his pants pockets. He dropped the gun a few inches, focusing on getting the car keys from Johnny's slacks.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""Something in your eyes was so inviting<br/>Something in you smile was so exciting<br/>Something in my heart told me I must have you.""</span><br/><br/>Snarling like a wild animal, Johnny lashed out and struck Bukowski's gun. The piece went off twice, bullets snapping by Johnny's ear as they whizzed into the air. The gun fell to the ground with a dull thud. Bukowski tried to reach for it, but he was short and fat, a good six inches shorter and fifty pounds heavier than Johnny. He proved no match for Johnny's strong grip. He hit the cop upside the head with a glancing blow to the skull. Bukowski stumbled back and Johnny hit him with a right hook that knocked him to the ground. Johnny pinned him to the ground with his knees and held him close, his big hands wrapping around Bukowski's fat neck.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""Strangers in the night, two lonely people<br/>We were strangers in the night. <br/>Up to the moment when we said our first hello, little did we know<br/>Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away""</span><br/><br/>Bukowski fought and tried to get his hands underneath Johnny's. He struggled and thrashed, tried to claw at Johnny's eyes and mouth. The more he struggled, the more oxygen he burned through and made his death that quicker. Johnny throttled the cop's neck so hard and so long that he left rub burns from twisting his big hands around the windpipe. He made sure that there was no life left in the man at all. For what the bastard had done to his crew, it was the least he could do.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""Ever since that night we've been together<br/>Lovers at first sight, in love forever<br/>It turned out so right for strangers in the night.""</span><br/><br/>Johnny took Bukowski's corpse and locked it in the trunk of his car, parking the sedan inside the rotten barn before he got into his own car and drove back to where he had the money stashed. He got the two big duffle bags out the woods, took the tire iron marker, and kept going south so he could find a place to lay low. Wherever he stayed would have to have a payphone. He had to explain this shit to Bobby C.</div>"
22229,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-02-14 02:11:00,gorgenmast,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">La Cabeza, Spanish Morocco</span><br/><br/>Fluorescent light fixtures hung from the ceiling of the stone-hewn tunnel lit Julio's way with a cold, industrial light as he drove the buggy ever deeper beneath the mountain of La Cabeza. It didn't just seem cold down here - it <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> cold. Compared against the Saharan heat that Julio and his fellow infiltrators had just left behind, the air in this tunnel seemed as if it were freezing. Julio recalled from his last foray underground - a tour of the medieval gold mines at Las Medulas in college - that the temperature underground was always somewhere around 12-14 degrees centigrade no matter the location or time of the year. Here, beneath the Sahara Desert, that temperature change was quite jarring. Graciela was shivering slightly - but it was unclear weather or not that was because of the cool air or the fact that they had made an unauthorized visit to the most secretive and heavily defended place in the entirety of the Second Spanish Republic.<br/><br/>""Places everyone,"" Joaquin said from the buggy's rear seat. ""We've got company up ahead.""<br/><br/>The tunnel's downward slope leveled out a hundred meters ahead where an artificial grotto had been carved out of the granite. In this chamber, a pair of cinderblock huts on either side of the entrance formed a secondary checkpoint. A pair of soldiers with assault rifles slung behind their shoulders stood vigil at a traffic barrier whose boom was positioned upright to allow the stream of vehicles through. Julio briefly feared they might be stopped for another inspection, but his fear was allayed when one of the bored-looking guards simply waved the infiltrators through. Beyond the gate was a cluster of buildings constructed from cinderblock and prefabricated concrete slabs. Several tanker trucks idled on a tarmac lot outside the largest of the buildings.<br/><br/>""I have a feeling that we'll need to check in there,"" Julio suggested once out of earshot of the solitary guard. ""They'll tell us where that Guijon fellow can be found.""<br/><br/>""To Hell with him,"" Graciela hissed. ""We got in this place, now we need to find where they're taking the captives. We don't need to be wasting any time talking with this asshole.""<br/><br/>""On the contrary, this man expecting us is an asset we mustn't throw away."" Dejene's muffled voice drew their attention to the pinewood crates on the buggy's bed. ""He seems to be high-ranking personnel here. He can show us where they're taking the Tuaregs and the political prisoners, and he may serve as a hostage if things go badly.""<br/><br/>""I'm surprised that things haven't already gone badly for us,"" Joaquin added. ""I'm with Dejene. Let's keep our streak of good luck going for as long as possible and not do anything brash."" With their course of action decided, Julio pulled up to a concrete parking curb outside the largest of the bunker-like edifices and twisted the key out of the ignition.<br/><br/>""Stay with the vehicle, Joaquin. Make sure nobody bothers the crates,"" Graciela said as she stepped out. Joaquin nodded in accord as Julio and Graciela left the buggy and made their way through a metal door labelled <span class=""bb-i"">RECEPCIÓN</span> in blocky stenciled type. Inside the door, they found a drab, stuffy lobby that seemed more like a warehouse breakroom than the reception for a secret military base. Fluorescent lights buzzed from fixtures embedded in the asbestos ceiling tiles. Beneath them, an office desk occupied by a fatigue-clad clerk with a receding hairline tapped away at a typewriter. Considering the security measures required to get this far, the establishment had likely figured that militarizing this lobby was redundant.<br/><br/>""State your business,"" the aging Spaniard graveled when Julio and Graciela approached the desk, neglecting to look up from the document he was busy punching away at.<br/><br/>""I am Captain... Sandoval,"" Graciela reported, taking a moment to remind herself of the name the soldiers at the checkpoint had called her. ""My associates and I are here to meet with Doctor Guijon for the... facility's audit process.""<br/><br/>""Oh, excellent!"" The clerk finally looked up from his work and pushed a pair of glasses up onto his nosebridge to check the clock behind them - the only indication of the time of day this far underground. ""Madrid called ahead of you to advise us you'd be arriving late. Good thing you're here now; he's been pestering me for the past <span class=""bb-i"">three</span> hours asking me if I knew when you'd get here.""<br/><br/>""I apologize for our tardiness,"" Julio chimed in, playing along.<br/><br/>""Don't you worry about it."" The clerk said as he dialed in a series of numbers on the desk's phone. After a brief exchange with a party on the other end, the clerk hung up and reverted his attention to Julio and Graciela.<br/><br/>""Doctor Guijon will be down momentarily. Go ahead and take a seat while he makes his way down.""<br/><br/>As requested, Julio and Graciela stepped away from the desk to a collection of chairs in the far corner of the lobby, far removed from a tanker driver and a cluster of three soldiers conversing in a loose huddle. Julio saw a wrinkled copy of <span class=""bb-i"">El Pais</span> laid in one of the seats and made a beeline for it. Julio and Graciela - having been away from Spain and the mainstream news cycle for long - were anxious to catch up on any word from the homeland and the war in Ethiopia. Julio's eyes widened as he read the month-old headline: <span class=""bb-i"">EJERCITO FORCES FACE STIFF RESISTANCE AT DJIBOUTI</span>. Julio and Graciela had scarcely read the first line of the article before a door on the opposite side of the office was thrown open by what might have been the palest-skinned Spaniard Julio had ever seen.<br/><br/>""Captain Sandoval!"" He exclaimed cordially as he threw a stained laboratory coat over his checkerboard button-down shirt. ""So glad you could make it!""<br/><br/>Graciela bolted to her feet and offered the man a salute as he approached, which prompting Julio to do the same. The lab-coat clad man could not help but laugh at the display.<br/><br/>""At ease, at ease! A handshake will do just fine."" The man chuckled, extending an outreached hand to both Graciela and Julio, prompting them to immediately relax and return his handshakes. ""Even though the Ministry lets me do whatever I want, I'm still just a civilian and there's no need for such formalities with me. I am Doctor Juan Guijon - and it is my pleasure to make your acquaintances.""<br/><br/>Julio could believe that. Guijon hardly looked like a military man. A thin patch of beard and a wiry mustache adorned the doctor's pudgy face. A head of thick hair was combed up neatly - displaying a prominent widows peak against his pale forehead. He did not seem to possess the muscle nor the humorless attitude of an Ejercito officer. Julio shot Graciela a nervous glance before looking over to the soldiers standing nearby. Their raised eyebrows demonstrated that giving the doctor a salute was serious faux-pas. Even so, Guijon did not seem to be bothered by the display, and that offered some reassurance.<br/><br/>""Forgive us, Doctor,"" Graciela apologized. ""Very little was explained to us prior to our arrival. My associates and I know little of what we are to expect here.""<br/><br/>""Typical,"" Doctor Guijon sighed. ""Nobody tells anyone anything in the Ministry of War; Compartmentalization is their new favorite buzzword. Information about everything is restricted to a need-to-know basis, especially here. Everyone is so afraid of a leak, and to an extent I understand the concern behind it. We wouldn't want anything we do at La Cabeza getting whispered into Chairman Hou's ears. But at the same time, people like you ought to know enough to do your jobs correctly. Unfortunately, nobody wants my opinion on the matter.""<br/><br/>""About this audit..."" Graciela said, steering Guijon back to a more pertinent topic.<br/><br/>""Right, right, of course. We're already behind on all this, aren't we,"" Guijon set about buttoning up his labcoat. ""Let's get you up to speed. Come with me.""<br/><br/>Graciela and Julio followed Doctor Guijon out of the reception office to the buggy parked outside. Julio surrendered the vehicle's keys to Guijon and took the seat behind him next to Joaquin - who exchanged a brief handshake with the doctor as well.<br/><br/>""So, let me make sure I understand this correctly,"" Guijon began as he turned the buggy's engine over and reversed out onto the tarmac. ""Your job here today is to report back to Madrid and the Ministry that our work here is coming along properly, but the Ministry neglected to tell you anything about the La Cabeza facility?""<br/><br/>""Exactly,"" said Graciela.<br/><br/>""Idiocy,"" Guijon groaned as he threw the shift out of reverse. ""These audits exist to make sure Ministry of War funds are not being misappropriated, I understand that. But to combat wasteful spending, they fritter away so much more time and money getting auditors out here, and on top of it all it turns out that the personnel that they send us haven't been told anything. I almost think it's comical.""<br/><br/>Julio and Joaquin exchanged anxious glances with one another. Had this ruse been found out?<br/><br/>""Ours is not the place to question."" Graciela replied.<br/><br/>""Oh, certainly not,"" Guijon agreed as he cruised down the tarmac roadway leading out of the office chamber and into an arched tunnel up ahead. ""It's not your fault that the Ministry of War has this set of counter-productive rules in place. But I'm not about to have you report back to Madrid with nothing to show for it.""<br/><br/>""So what exactly is La Cabeza's purpose?"" Julio asked.<br/><br/>""Our work here started more than a decade ago, back in July of 1969,"" Guijon began, keeping his eyes on the seemingly endless tunnel stretching before them. ""The Pacific northwest of North America experienced a severe outbreak of pine bark beetles that summer. Thousands of hectares of very valuable timberland were threatened throughout western states and provinces. The Canadians, seeking to mitigate the destruction caused by the beetles, tasked a British chemist - one Lawrence Williams - with developing an effective fumigant to control the outbreak. Señor Williams focused his research on developing a neurotoxic agent - a substance that was highly lethal to animal life but would leave plants unscathed.<br/><br/>""Williams' efforts were more productive than he could have ever anticipated. In 1973, he conducted a trial on series of compounds whose median lethal dosage for the pine beetles was so minute that his instruments couldn't even measure its quantity. As a fumigant, it was far too lethal to be safely used, and Williams moved on with his research. Soon after this development, the Northwest Coalition became independent of Canada and the new government confiscated his research materials. Upon reading his notes, the Coalition approached Williams and tasked him with a new project: <span class=""bb-i"">enhance</span> the lethality of his fumigant. Over the next three years, Williams and his colleagues honed the lethality of the compound. That compound, as we know, comes to be known to the world as the VX Nerve Agent.""<br/><br/>Julio was so engrossed with Dr. Guijon's history that he nearly failed to notice the piping that ran along the wall this far down the tunnel. The hewn-walls of of solid rock were starting to give way to a matrix of ducts and vents along the wall. As Guijon drove ever deeper into the tunnel, he could see where the tunnel terminated in a wall of solid concrete. A bulkhead door of steel was embedded within the concrete facade, around which a cadre of ever more soldiers stood watch. Painted onto the door upon a field of solid yellow were the interlacing circles of the biohazard symbol in jet black. Julio could feel the color drain from his face when he realized what lay beyond that door.<br/><br/>""Of course, during Prime Minister Tejero's attempt to affect a regime change in the United State's socialist administration, an alliance was brokered between Spain, Canada, the New England states, and the Northwest Coalition. The use of VX in the Seattle Incident, as we know, caused international condemnation. The alliance against the United States buckled, and the Northwest Coalition was left to its fate. But, on the eve of the American invasion of the Northwest Coalition, the Spanish Air Forces were called upon by the remnants of the Coalition government to assume responsibility of the remaining VX stockpiles and keep VX out of American hands. That stockpile was flown from the Cold Lake Facility in Alberta to southern Morocco and housed within a colonial French iron mine. Over the course of four years, that mine has been expanded into <span class=""bb-i"">this</span>.""<br/><br/>Guijon drove up to the bulkhead where the guards immediately recognized him. Without a moment's hesitation, a switch was flipped, allowing the massive bulkhead to rise with a whirring, mechanical sound. The metal door was lifted upward on revolving arms, giving the bulkhead the appearance of a mouth opening up. As Guijon drove through into La Cabeza's open maw, Julio felt as if he were being swallowed whole.<br/><br/>Just beyond the door, Julio, Graciela, and Joaquin were driven into a relatively small chamber. On either side of the tarmac driveway were bombs stacked positioned upon their tail fins. Pointed tips rose up to meet a ceiling of hewn granite. If they were inside La Cabeza's maw, then the bombs were its teeth.<br/><br/>""These are the original bombs that were taken from Coalition custody in August of 1976. While the fuzes and explosive components of these bombs have been removed from these weapons, each contains 650 kilograms of the original VX-series compound developed by Lawrence Williams,"" Guijon explained with the same demeanor and enthusiasm as a tour guide.<br/><br/>""These were the bombs used at Seattle?"" A sobered Julio asked.<br/><br/>""Yes. Save for the removed explosive components, these bombs are identical to the eight 1,000 kg bombs used by the Northwest Coalition on Seattle. These bombs have been preserved to give us a benchmark for the purity and lethality of current product.""<br/><br/>""Current product?"" Joaquin chimed in. ""You <span class=""bb-i"">make</span> VX here?"" <br/><br/>Doctor Guijon could not help but laugh. ""You have no idea."" <br/><br/>Guijon drove through the bomb room to another guarded bulkhead. Again, Guijon was permitted through without question. Beyond this door, a sprawling cavern opened up before them. A small zeppelin could fit comfortably within this space. Housed within this space was nothing less than a VX factory. The space was dominated by dozens of silvery-chrome pressure vats the size of a grain silo, each one connected to a complex network of ducts, pipelines, pumps, scaffolding structures, and more. Labcoat-clad technicians walked above the driveways between each pressure vat on scaffold bridges. Clipboards in hand, they checked an assortment of instruments embedded into the walls of each vat. On the driveways beneath the vats, tanker drivers led thick hoses from the bottom of the tanks and mated them with ports in the ducts and pipes running across the floor. Julio watched as hundreds of gallons of chemical reagent were siphoned from a tanker into one of the massive vats.<br/><br/>""This is the only place in the world where VX is made, and we make a lot of it,"" Doctor Guijon declared proudly over the sound of a pump drawing raw materials into a vat. ""The Cold Lake facility that produced the VX in those bombs we just saw needed a period of five months to synthesize their nerve agent. La Cabeza can produce the same quantity in 36 hours. The molecular structure of our current product is exactly the same as Lawrence William's, but we have developed newer and more efficient means of synthesis. Good thing too, because the Prime Minister has recently acquired a voracious appetite for nerve agent.""<br/><br/>The reminder that all of this belonged to Alfonso Sotelo was a punch to Julio's gut. VX was frightening enough as it was. But an unlimited supply of it in Alfonso Sotelo's possession was a recipe for tragedy on a global scale. A stolen glance at Graciela affirmed that she too was distraught by the revelation of what La Cabeza truly was, but for a different reason. Julio recalled her father, the leader of the Spanish partisans before Sotelo had captured them, had likely been taken to La Cabeza as a prisoner. They had seen no sign of any captives within the facility itself, and one could only wonder what fate befell the hundreds of prisoners and Tuareg captives that were being transported here.<br/><br/>""I'd like to see the look on the Chairman's face when he finally gets a whiff of the shit you're cooking."" Joaquin commented jokingly in an attempt to distract Guijon's attention from the look of abject horror on Julio and Graciela's faces.<br/><br/>""Ever since the war in Ethiopia began, the Prime Minister and Commander Velazquez just can't get enough of it. If their demand is any indication, I suspect our nerve agent will be used on the battlefield soon. We have facilities at La Cabeza where the VX is injected into every munition you can think of. Artillery shells, naval shells, landmines, rockets. They've even developed flechette shot for the Prometeos that fire a hundred of these little darts laced with nerve agent.""<br/><br/>""And there's no antidote? No cure?"" Asked Julio.<br/><br/>""None."" Doctor Guijon said with a grim certainty.<br/><br/>""VX doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, it kills our men just as readily as the communists."" Joaquin added, once again playing the jingoism card. ""I thought that this shit was only good for wiping a city off the map, because it doesn't break down. Even today, nobody can go into the Seattle ruins without a rubber suit. If the Ejercito tries to use VX in combat in Ethiopia, then they're just going to end up making East Africa uninhabitable for the next decade. That doesn't seem like a winning strategy to me.""<br/><br/>""A clever observation,"" Guijon agreed with a wag of his index finger. ""That is a major reason that we - at least to my knowledge- have never used nerve agent in combat. But as I said, we have learned a great deal about VX since inheriting it from the Northwest Coalition. The Prime Minister doesn't want a city-destroyer, but a battle-winner. In the interest of creating a weapon that can be used readily against tactical targets, I've identified an additive - a catalyst - to nerve agent formulations that can induce VX to loose its lethality upon exposure to the air by breaking it down into harmless intermediate compounds after perhaps a week to a month, depending upon the ambient temperature. Catalyzed VX eliminates the prohibitive properties that make the battlefield use of nerve agent undesirable.""<br/><br/>Graciela, who had been silent for as long as anyone could recall, galvanized herself from her silence at last. ""I understand you are in possession of a number of prisoners here,"" she said to Doctor Guijon. ""Where are they?""<br/><br/>Julio immediately cringed. Without warning, Graciela had sabotaged their good luck. She knew her captive father had been taken to this awful place, and she had lost the ability to hold in her fear for him. She given them away; the ruse was surely up. Julio prepared to seize Doctor Guijon by the neck and take him as a hostage.<br/><br/>But Doctor Guijon's reaction was not one of recoil or fear. Instead, a wry grin crawled across his pudgy face.<br/><br/>""So you are aware that there is another project underway at La Cabeza?"" Graciela nodded in agreement, though she knew nothing of what Doctor Guijon spoke.<br/><br/>""Very well,"" Doctor Guijon said with a measure of satisfaction as he let off the buggy's brake and continued driving. He steered the buggy through the maze of vats and machines to the far side of the production chamber where an open cargo elevator waited. Guijon parked the buggy into the lift's yawning gate in and produced a key from within his labcoat's pocket. He inserted the key into and pressed a combination onto the lift's keypad, causing the chain-link gate of the elevator to close around them. A yellow siren light on the lift's ceiling turned on and spun about, illuminating the lift with pulses of yellow light as it descended deep below La Cabeza.<br/><br/>""Captain Sandoval, gentlemen,"" Guijon said as the elevator lowered itself into the darkness of the shaft, ""I'd like to show you all my true passion.""</div>"
22230,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-02-19 08:09:00,Vilageidiotx,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Dar es Salaam, Tanganyika</span><br/><br/>Taytu watched the tide come in, tropical turquoise waters licking at the white beach below. She was in the garden of a laid back estate on the edge of Dar es Salaam. It was a tranquil place, with pearl white adobe walls, a red clay tile roof, arches that spoke of Islamic influence, and pampered gardens where lush plants and fruit trees grew. It was perfect as a travel brochure - a showcase of everything the Europeans had wanted Africa to be. Paradise. But not for Taytu. She was still a dismal prisoner of the Tanganyikan state.<br/><br/>She sipped on mango juice and created grim stories in her mind for the ships that passed by the bay. She imagined the thin-sailed fishing boats were pirates off to pillage the Spanish navy. They would board the battleships with grappling hooks and shotguns, and they would take the soldiers - men that had slaughtered her mother in the sky above Socotra - and toss them into the sea. Perhaps too, the cargo freighters that occasionally passed were carrying the means of war. Chinese armies and weapons arriving from the east to wrap up the war in a few neat battles, and Tanganyikan soldiers shipping out to the Red Sea. <br/><br/>But as her imagination went down darker paths, she convinced herself that the opposite would become true. The more she thought, the more inevitable it seemed that she would soon see Spanish battleships appearing on the horizon. They would come and put Tanganyika down, because the leaders of this nation were too spineless to fight.<br/><br/>Four times she spoke to the council appointed to question her, and each time she berated them. The urgency of the situation drove her to speak angry words. Her brother was under siege. Her country was under siege. She saw the continent coming back under the hateful whip of colonialism, and she hated to think that it would happen while she held the office of Foreign Affairs Adviser. After all of her arguing with them, the Tanganyikans found a new way to throw her off balance. She was invited by the Prime Minister to be a guest in his home, to trade the confined hotel room for polite neglect in a room with a beach-side view. As nice as it sounded, it wasn't a choice she could make. They ordered her around like a disgraceful pet.<br/><br/>Her days went nowhere. She spent them reading newspapers and dreaming of the sea. The war for Ethiopia had moved into the Danakil, where the Spanish advance had been slowed by the efforts of Hassan's army, raids by the tribal Afar, and the persistent struggle to keep their men and equipment supplied with water. How had they liked their first contest with the African climate? She hoped they choked on every inch of dirt. Bastards. She couldn't measure the hate she felt for Spain.<br/><br/>She did her best to keep track of world affairs as well. The Tanganyikan media reported the South African war with the same gravity they gave to Ethiopia. Nineteen British civilians had been found in some bloody scene in Cape Town. Another trumped up story. It was like Stanley reporting the naked natives throwing spears and shooting off arrows at his boats, forgetting the part where the Europeans had been gunning them down with their Maxims for entertainment. Below the Africans headlines were a few stories that caught her brief attention. The President of Russia was stolen from his own office. That was curious. Something that only happened in novels. It would have interested her more if it weren't for her own circumstances. The Americans were still mistreating their black-skinned citizens. Europe and her children followed the same pattern. It was an inescapable cycle. <br/><br/>""Princess Taytu"" a servant greeted her with a cold nasal twang. ""The Prime Minister invites you to lunch on the veranda. He wishes you to attend him now.""<br/><br/>No choice. The circumstances seemed perfectly polite. A servant, starched clothes, a sunny day in a garden. But it felt no different to her than if she had been thrown in the oubliette. <br/><br/>Obedient and frustrated, she went. The servant led her by the fountains and past a lemon orchard, by bright tropical flowers and decorative shrubs. They reached the outward stair; a wide granite construct like those found in front of state house. It was guarded by men in colonial Askari uniform. Lifting the skirt of her dress past her ankles, she shuffled up the stairs. She found the Prime Minister waiting for her at the top.<br/><br/>Prime Minister Hubertus Majogo of Tanganyika was an old man. He had been born on the same day as Prince Hubertus of the Prussian royal family, seventy one years ago. Age had not stooped him. Only a few curly white hairs still clung to his leathery scalp. His skin hung loose, but his eyes were lively and piercing. <br/><br/>""Please."" he bowed stiffly, aged bones struggling. ""Princess Taytu. Eat with me.""<br/><br/>""I'm your guest."" Taytu replied. She looked hard at his eyes. Let him see the fire of the Solomonic line burning within her. She would be no timid prisoner. She sat down first, and the Minister followed.<br/><br/>Lunch was grilled fish over pilaf, with a coconut sauce drizzled across. They drank coffee; a cruel touch, she though, with a smell that reminded her of home and her mother. It strengthened her resolve. <br/><br/>""I must apologize again for the circumstances."" Majogo started. <br/><br/>""You apologize well."" she replied. The rapiers of verbal combat were out. He tapped hers, she parried.<br/><br/>""That is good to know."" Majogo replied dryly. <br/><br/>Though she ate, she didn't notice the flavor of the fish. It was irrelevant. She watched the old man out of the corner of her eye, and she knew he was doing the same. They were playing politics of the nervous kind. Not the bored niceties that the laymen see when they imagine diplomats talking. This was two people who stood for the fate of their nations, speaking words that would serve as the scaffolding for the history of their time. <br/><br/>""I have a proposal for you, and I hope you will hear it in good conscious."" Majogo spoke grandfatherly, but she saw through it.<br/><br/>""Speak your peace."" she said.<br/><br/>""We want no trouble with your government. I respect Emperor Yaqob. I think he is a good man. But I cannot consciously bring my country into a war with Spain. We do not wish to keep you as a prisoner...""<br/><br/>""Well good."" she smiled. ""Let me go.""<br/><br/>Majogo chuckled. ""That is fair. That is fair. I should have predicted that. But you know, Princess Taytu, that it would be unhealthy for us to do so without saving face. We wish to smooth over your release, and this is what I mean to propose. First, you will appear in a television broadcast announcing changes to the ACE agreement between the Pan-African Empire and the Confederacy of Tanganyika and Mozambique. Second, you will use your legal power to amend those agreements. After this, we will be able to discuss what method we will use to release you.""<br/><br/>She scoffed. ""That is absurd! Even if I agreed to all of that, an agreement made under duress isn't in good faith. It wouldn't be legally binding. When I go back to Ethiopia, I will not spare a minute telling my brother what happened here.""<br/><br/>""Under duress?"" Majogo chuckled. ""Does this look like duress?"" <br/><br/>""Slavery then.""<br/><br/>""Slavery? Do not be melodramatic, Princess Taytu. It does not suit you.""<br/><br/>""You can pick your word, it does not matter. What you are doing here is not legal. You cannot ignore that. If you want to save face, then apologize the truest way you can. Honor our agreement. Declare war on Spain.""<br/><br/>""That is not on the table anymore. I would have hoped you would be aware of that already. I cannot put my nation in that place, to lose a war we had no reason to fight. If I can protect my people from suffering, I will do everything in my power to do so.""<br/><br/>""You cannot protect yourself from this. Ask the South Africans. What is happening is bigger than Sotelo's invented feud with my brother. This thing will come for your people in the end, and you will have no chance to defend yourself once you have sold out all of your friends.""<br/><br/>""You offer no evidence."" Majogo had stopped eating. He looked at Taytu as if she were a disagreeable grandchild. ""I cannot believe that the government of Spain is as rapaciously evil as you would say. Do not conflate your personal enemies with the enemies of the world.""<br/><br/>""No evidence? Use common sense, Mr. Majogo. This has happened before.""<br/><br/>""The Europe of now is not the Europe of one hundred years ago. They came out of the war humbled. Time has changed them.""<br/><br/>Taytu laughed in his face. ""When in the history of humanity on earth have the powerful learned their lesson? Don't expect sainthood from them. That is not good policy for your country.""<br/><br/>The Prime Minister was indignant now. Her rancor had offended him. ""Princess Taytu, I have lived longer than you. I was dealing with Europeans before your brother decided to be our savior. Your enemies are people, not demons. They make decisions rational to their cause. The same is true for your and your brother. You beg us to fight for you. You talk to me as if I am your thrall. I do not blame you for that, because that is what is rational for your nations interest. But remember, Princess, that I am not a thrall to Ethiopia. I stand for Tanganyika. I will do what must be done for this country. If you think it ignoble, so be it. If the history books call me a coward, I will still have peace in my grave. But if I am going to lay down in my bed and close my eyes every night until I die, it must be knowing that I did what was good for my country.""<br/><br/>She felt respect for the man then, and a little guilt ""You lied for your country. Broke treaties.""<br/><br/>""So be it.""<br/><br/>""Don't think there will be no repercussions."" she parried again. This was going nowhere.<br/><br/>""I can only deal with the problems of today.""<br/><br/>""Today has an inescapable effect on the future.""<br/><br/>""I can only do what is right for my people in the present."" He had cooled down now. His eyes focused on her and made her feel small in her seat.<br/><br/>""Then fight Spain. Ask yourself, if you think they are innocent, why would they launch this invasion of theirs? What has my brother's government done?""<br/><br/>""I hear he is a communist. Is he not a good friend of Chairman Hou, the archenemy of Spain? I know he allows Chinese agents to work from a base on Pemba.""<br/><br/>""A communist."" she snickered. ""He's a King. How can a King be a communist? That my brother likes to think of himself as some sort of humble peoples monarch I will not deny. But let us be serious, the most leftist thing he has ever enforced in our nation is his agricultural policies, and nobody outside of Ethiopia proper pays attention to those anyway.""<br/><br/>""Economics isn't what capitalism or communism is about."" Majogo retorted. Taytu looked at him, unsure how he could have said something like that. He saw her bewilderment and continued. ""Oh sure, in theory that is all either is about, but in practice? Economics in the hands of the world-powerful is a smart sounding smoke screen used to hide whatever squeezing they want to do. I don't care if you hide your taxes under the name of tithes, or military necessity, or the proletariat. If you were a business you'd call it overhead costs. Taking money is taking money, it's how things work everywhere, and will always work for all time. Sotelo doesn't care about that. What he sees is Yaqob turning his back on Europe and shaking hands with the east. That's what a communist is to him.""<br/><br/>She didn't skip a beat. ""That happened when my father was still Emperor. What Sotelo sees is property. Taking money is taking money? Property works the same way. That is what Sotelo sees when he sees Africa, and his vision doesn't end at Lake Victoria.""<br/><br/>Majogo chuckled. ""I believe you could continue this duel of words until the moon falls into the sea.""<br/><br/>""I'm right."" Taytu said. ""You know it.""<br/><br/>""There is no completing this debate tonight."" Majogo sighed. ""You know what I am asking. Sleep on it.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Perhaps she would have liked her room if she had chose it. It had an old four poster bed, of the medieval style with posts carved like giraffe necks reaching toward the ceiling; mahogany furniture set in a garish Jugendstil style; and a window view out to the sea, where the vale of twilight was ascending in the east. There was also a book shelf with decent variety. This place recalled something of the old Germany, the one that suffered the war and was fading away by the time she arrived in Europe for school. But freedom of movement, when taken away from those who knew nothing else, leaves an indignant hole in the mind. She was restless, and could not appreciate even the nostaligic aspects of the room. It was too early to sleep. But there were the books, and when she found a history on the Great War, she felt an opportunity to be devious. Her captors would try to keep her from her work, but they had offered her the opportunity to study. She flipped through the book to try and get an idea on what it was about.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><span class=""bb-i""><br/>It is often asserted that the war truly ended in 1919, and that the <br/>events which took place after that unhealthy year hardly constituted <br/>a true war at all. 'It was a cavalcade of cruelty and revolution'<br/>asserts Glaise-Horstenau, who before writing his history served on the <br/>General Staff of the Austrian military. The web of revolutionary movements<br/>and their constantly shifting relationships to the spirit of war makes it <br/>difficult to create a clear picture of the last years of that conflict.<br/>What can be said for certain is that a state of war existed between the<br/>military faction in France and the military faction in Germany until the<br/>year 1925, when the faction in France finally and totally ceased to exist.<br/>What happened in Britain, in Austria, and in Italy would amount to devastation,<br/>while what happened in Russia, in Spain, in Turkeyand in Africa would ultimately <br/>mark the design of the modern geopolitical landscape as we know it today.</span></div></div></div></div><br/><br/>Useless. She flipped through the pages. Impatience was a symptom of captivity. <br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><span class=""bb-i""><br/>It can be said that the fall of France came with its first taste of real triumph. Pushing <br/>into the Rhineland in '25, the French thought they would bring about the end to the war. <br/>Instead, The found themselves engulfed in the problems of their enemy. France itself was <br/>in a state of tumult, but the violence in Germany had evolved beyond mere factionalization. <br/>Communist Spartacists, aided by Bolsheviks fleeing the Tsar, grabbed patches of territory <br/>throughout the country. Bonn was one such Communist stronghold. The French, desperate to end<br/>the war and return home to quell their own people, moved on the city of Aachen perhaps too quickly.<br/>The Spartacists, though Communist, feared a partition of Germany from the outside. The French did not <br/>expect their intervention. Perhaps the entrenched armies of the early war would have had nothing to fear <br/>from political partisans, but the desperate bloodletting of the late war had reduced the armies to <br/>a hungry shadow of their former glory. When the Spartacists assaulted the rear of the French far flank,<br/>in what would become known as the ""Battle of Hasselbach Forest"", the French Army lost it's momentum.<br/>It is true that the Spartacists themselves suffered much in the fight, prominent communist Leo Jogiches<br/>dying in those woods alongside the creme of the Spartacist paramilitary, but the losses they dealt to <br/>France hastened the end of the war, and indeed the French Third Republic itself.</span></div></div></div></div><br/><br/>Useless. Everything she did was useless. She wasn't a war hero, she couldn't just break out. If she was going to be anything but helpless, it would be her mind that saved her. But how? This book wasn't going to cut it. At least, she couldn't focus on it enough to find whatever secrets she was looking for. <br/><br/>So was that it? Would she simply fail to do anything for herself? Had she allowed her mind to go to mush under the pressure? The night was not being kind to her. She put the book down on the table and laid herself out on the bed, but the downy feel of the mattress on her skin made her emotions paradoxically worse. All she could do was stare at the ceiling and hate the fates for placing her here.<br/><br/>The trees rapped at the wall outside her door. She thought she heard the floor settle. The sound of imperfect quiet. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine home. When she conjured the faces of her family, she worked to hold them in her mind and keep them there in spite of everything around her.<br/><br/>But sleep wouldn't come. She heard the footsteps of servants somewhere far down the hall. No matter. Perhaps focusing on nothing at all would be better, to make her mind like a murky pond. She thought she might go to sleep then, but the house whined, and she was up again.<br/><br/>She rose up her head. The moment her eyes opened, everything seemed to happen at once.<br/><br/>The door slammed open. Three men dressed in black rushed through with pistols in their hands. She jumped up. There was no time to think. Before she could even scream, the first man spoke. <br/><br/>""Come quick. The Emperor sent us."" He said it in clear Amharic, in an accent that came from her homeland. Could it be true? She didn't question. She vaulted from her bed and went. <br/><br/>They flew through the halls, too swift to be quiet. Somebody was bound to hear. Corner after corner went by, between whitewashed walls that seemed to close in on them. Was this a maze? She hadn't remembered it like this.<br/><br/>They turned a bend and found an ugly surprise when the man in front tumbled into a Tanganyikan guard. She thought they would be captured now. But in rapid movements, the lead-man smashed his fist into the guard's stomach, forced his head down, and drove a knife into just below his skull. The guard collapsed to the floor with blood leaking freely from the back of his brain. <br/><br/>A trained killing move. These men were Walinzi. She felt elated, already saved.<br/><br/>They got clear of the house and scrambled outside. Gunfire range out across the garden. In the light of the full moon, everything around was enveloped in a blue glow. She thought she saw smoke. Another bullet rustled a nearby potted plant. The Walinzi ducked behind a decorative stone wall, and pushed her down so hard that her head nearly hit the ground. An instinct, like a small voice in her head, told her she should be offended at their insolence. A foolish instinct. She closed her eyes, and gunfire reigned over her senses.<br/><br/>The Walinzi fired back. The blast of their guns hurt her ears and made them ring. Tanganyikan responses hit the wall above her and dusted her with plaster particles. <br/><br/>""How many?"" one of the Walinzi asked his comrades between shots.<br/><br/>""Too many. We need to get her to the boat. I'll cover."" another replied. A boat. She hadn't processed that idea before they grabbed her and had her running again. The consistency of the gunfire was making all other sound seem like whispering. <br/><br/>They stuck to what cover they could find. It was all going so fast. Flower peddles spewed up in the garden where bullets struck low. She heard shouting across the field. German, the language of the Tanganyikans. ""Don't shoot her."" they were saying, ""Don't shoot the woman.""<br/><br/>They dashed through a lemon orchard. The gunfire was no longer on them. She was out. Oh how the Tanganyikan government was going to regret this. The offense to her person, the arrogance they showed her. The very laws of international etiquette pronounced them evil.<br/><br/>Once out of the trees, she saw the boat. A simple fishing trawler; rusted, ugly. Brilliant disguise. They crossed the beach. Pearl-white sand shifted underneath her feet. <br/><br/>""Where's Three?"" one of the men shouted.<br/><br/>""He knew what would happen."" the other replied. They clamored on board. ""Kick the engine. We need to leave!"" <br/><br/>Taytu fell to the deck. She was out of breath, and scared that the shooting would start again. She looked out toward the mansion and it's grounds. It showed no signs of violence. After all that had happened, it looked peaceful. At that moment she realized that she didn't hear any gunfire at all. Everything had went quiet except for the waves lapping at the boat. She felt bad for the agent they left behind. The cold click of the hammer being pulled back on a pistol caused her to look back at the men. She froze.<br/><br/>Five Tanganyikan police stepped out of the cabin, holding one of the Walinzi at gun point. The second Walinzi froze.<br/><br/>""It's over"" the man with the pistol said. ""Drop your weapon and surrender."" They all stood still for a moment, eyeing each other. The only movement came from the rocking of the boat. She felt all her hopes melt away. She'd been so close to escape. Close enough that she could almost smell home. That was over now. <br/><br/>The Tanganyikans backed the Walinzi against the side of the boat with their hands behind their heads. They didn't seem to see her. She didn't expect it when the Gunman pulled the trigger. Two shots rang out in the cool air, and the Walinzi agents crumpled to the ground. She knew she had screamed when it happened, but she couldn't remember what that had sounded like. Her body went numb.<br/><br/>They dragged her to the beach, her arms tied behind her back. Her skin was wet from sweat and the sea, and damp sand clung to her clothes. She sobbed. The sea crashed hatefully behind her, as if it were coming to yank her away. They dragged the bodies of the three Walinzi agents, two with their faces burst open from their execution, and the other with a bleeding hole in his neck. All dead. She tried to look away, but there faces were there and unavoidable. She was afraid what would come next. Would they kill her and blame it on the Walinzi? She was afraid to die. More than that, she was afraid to die right now on this beach. And her brother, what would this do to him, to loose so much before the war had even began? What would this entire farce mean for her country?<br/><br/>The Prime Minister came to the beach in his bathrobe. The look her gave her was one of slight disdain, as if she were a child caught drinking out of the liquor cabinet. <br/><br/>""Taytu. What a fool thing your brother has done."" he said, looking down at her. She said nothing, so he continued to speak. ""Four of my men are dead from this, and so are three of yours. Was it worth it? I suppose I should have expected something like this. Now it is over. You know what happens now?""<br/><br/>She looked at him. What her eyes were telling him she couldn't say. How absolutely frightened she must look on the outside. Inwardly, she was trying to crawl away. <br/><br/>""We will work out the details once my people have time enough to talk about this. From now on, you will sign what we tell you to sign. You will say what we tell you to say. Do you agree?""<br/><br/>Yes. Yes she agreed. After what she had seen, that deal sounded like a blessing. She nodded. Anything to live.<br/><br/></div>"
22231,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-02-29 03:34:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tyumen</div><br/><br/>Laying in his cot, Tsung watched the ceiling as a fly buzzed helplessly along the flaking white plaster overhead. It searched the desert landscape of white, wings buzzed and hummed as it hit the hard ceiling in its desperate search for a way out and in damned confusion. Laying with his hands wrapped behind his head the young army private found himself drifting from malicious curiosity to the bug's plight and on into an alien sort of understanding.<br/><br/>It took him all of five minutes to create the metaphor.<br/><br/>In the soft warmth of the afternoon light it helplessly threw itself against the ceiling of the Russian apartment on the daft hope there would be escape. While it might be safe from the broader world smashing its head against plaster board, out of the way of birds and spiders in the middle of that ceiling it was going nowhere. And in the bored doldrums of Tsung's heads he found himself feeling empathy towards the fly, as strange and unnatural as it sounds.<br/><br/>While not physically blocked off by walls, he was held in place by the same ceiling of military bureaucracy and management that had been wasting he and his comrades away in Tyumen. Their commander had since exercised his position to see himself out into the field in someone else's tank, casting him as well into the same trap; though Tsung had never met nor heard the man's name but it was known – or rather well assumed it had happened – that Sun Song had temporarily usurped a lesser commander's vehicle so he could be out with the rest of his unit giving command.<br/><br/>It was hardly debatable why, but stuck in Tyumen there was an uneasy restlessness about it all the while. Even Tsung had took it quietly and gratefully as a break from fighting and he could try and calm the nightmares. Hui and Lin spent their time in their own way. But being trapped in a city slowly being filled with Siberian security forces didn't leave many like the three of them left, all who remained were in the supply network and wouldn't have the time to speak with them, or were in the hospital chewed up by the war; and Tsung didn't want anything to do with them. After all, after the air raid he had decided he didn't need to see another victim of bombs for awhile, but there was a firm inevitability he would be back at it.<br/><br/>“Hui?” Tsung asked, turning from the fly on the ceiling to the gun loader who lay not to far away, a rag over his eyes so he could nap. He grunted unceremoniously as he lay.<br/><br/>“Hui.” Tsung repeated, more forcefully. But he couldn't help but clap his lips tight as his voice cracked over the raised tone.<br/><br/>Wi Hui rolled and dragged the rag from his face and looked over. His bald head glowed in the Russian sunlight. His eyes said it all.<br/><br/>“Have you ever had to wait this long before?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“The hell do you mean? I sat on that tank of ours for far longer as you before we were given the deployment order. Of course I had to wait longer.” he replied, “At least now I don't need to sleep atop the turret.” he mumbled as he pulled the rag back over his face.<br/><br/>“Really?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“Sometimes, earlier we only got to crank the engines for an hour a day and wait. That's when your former fell on his ass and broke his butt on the ice.” There wasn't any humor in his tone of voice.<br/><br/>“Have you ever been held up for that long before?”<br/><br/>Hui grunted, “No.” he said in a low growl, “I figured standing for inspection was a bad waste of time, but we were never held up for that long. And I've been to other hot zones before, but Russia has been the first time I had to sit through 'indefinite readiness'.” He wrapped the last two words in disgust, “And now we're fucking holding back to go out again, but at least I'm not having to sit by our tank.”<br/><br/>“Where have you been before Russia?” Tsung asked again. While it was like only cracking open a valve to let out a drip, the conversation was a release from the grinding boredom. He sat up in his bunk and turned to Tsung, waiting and listening for its continuance.<br/><br/>“What is this, story time?” groaned Hui as he sat up lethargically, “Bullshit, comrade. I don't remember ever hearing much about you. Why do I need to spill out to you?<br/><br/>“So about that, we trade a story for a story? Who were you before the army?” he asked.<br/><br/>“What do you mean?” asked Tsung.<br/><br/>Hui rolled his eyes, “What did you do before you joined the army, or the army came to you? Where you from? What did you do?”<br/><br/>“You don't really want to hear that, it's boring.” Tsung argued, trying to worm his way out of it.<br/><br/>A part of him didn't feel comfortable talking about it. There was a private part of him that chilled itself shut and stubbornly failed to budge. On the other hand, he didn't want to burden his comrades. Some other part of him in allegiance with his stubborn private self was urging to keep his background quiet, to be a quiet name that'd pass his fellow crewman after the war, or if he got killed.<br/><br/>But Hui was persistent, and he drilled. “Bullshit, nothings too dry. You had to fucking take trajectory calculus while training, did you not? That shit's fucking boring and I somehow did fucking great. So hit me, dammit.”<br/><br/>“It's really not exciting, I hoped around and I landed here on blind luck.” Tsung continued, pressing his excuses and unwillingness to talk about it.<br/><br/>“And how to clean mud from traction bearings too! That was great.” Hui laughed, “Really, just go ahead. It can't be as bad as you make it, comrade. You just don't happen into things. If I was taught one thing in all of this it's because I'm where I am because someone thought I was worth it.<br/><br/>“So go ahead. Let me be the judge on if it's boring.”<br/><br/>Li Tsung groaned. Lifting himself up off his back he sat himself against the wall and softly drummed the back of his head against the dry plasterboard. “I was born in a small town outside of Urumqi, town called Changji. 1957.” he began. By speaking the name of his home-town he could taste again that course silicate taste of dust and clay. “I doubt you heard of it.”<br/><br/>“No, I haven't.” Hui responded, “But sounds awfully dull, but do continue.” he remarked sarcastically.<br/><br/>“Anyways, my family were farmers. We raised goats.” he continued, “Besides goats we shared several acres of wheat with our neighbors as part of the local commune.” he could hear them as ghosts at the back of his mind, “We weren't far outside of Urumqi, if we wanted we could easily take the train into the town to visit the theater there, wasn't much going on at home despite the radio.” he laughed, “If you were far enough south you could see the mountains on the horizon, weren't anything spectacular, a dry rocky range really, the Bogda Shan east of Urumqi are much more impressive.”<br/><br/>“I had never known mountains before the army.” Hui commented with a smirk, “I was born up river from Shanghai, all I got to know was a murky river. But go on, how'd you get in the army?”<br/><br/>“Dad served in the revolution, I suppose he wanted his sons to know that pride so insisted all three of us also enlist, I was the only one who they actually needed I guess, and I ended up in tanks.”<br/><br/>“I see, so where'd you end up for basic. When were you there?”<br/><br/>“Ah...” he thought, “1978, Nanjing. That was the furthest I had ever been from home.”<br/><br/>“And after?”<br/><br/>“Mongolia after basic for graduate training and active duty, Ullanbator. It somehow felt the closest to being home after Nanjing.”<br/><br/>“So from Mongolia, how'd you end up in the Manchurian Defense Army?”<br/><br/>“I had asked for a change of duty, I didn't like it in Mongolia. The winter was too cold, I was hoping to end up somewhere in the south. I wanted to be warm again.”<br/><br/>“And so that's where the prodigal son comes to join the unit of men!” Hui laughed, “So that wasn't so hard, yeah?”<br/><br/>Li Tsung's face flushed a soft shade of red that Hui laughed at. Shrugging he tried to hide the fact and lowered his head. “Don't be too hard in yourself, you did fine.<br/><br/>“So, returning the favor.” Hui cracked, clapping his hands together and swinging his legs up over the side of the cot. “1957, Nantong. Began training for the armored corp in Shenyang. 1973, just in time for the war on Mindanao. As soon as I was done in basic I got shipped straight to Manila, which is where I met of all people: Sun Song.<br/><br/>“He was my commanding officer at the time and just a green commander of a single tank.”<br/><br/>“Wait, wait.” Tsung cut in, “You were sixteen when you signed up?”<br/><br/>Hui nodded enthusiastically, with a proud smile on his face. “I wanted in, I was bored, young, and I lied my way through registration. Figured if I wasn't fit, they'd throw me out and at the best they take my name off the draft lottery list. Turns out I was needed. I don't think they ever caught on, or if they have it's much too late now.” Hui seemed incredibly proud of the fact and wore a wide smile. His face glowed.<br/><br/>“So anyways, back then it was just me and Song. We did about two years of basically garrison work, by that point the Luzon government didn't need our tanks in the street so it was a lot of drills and finding ways to kill time in the city. The beaches, the women. It was almost a vacation with this looming risk of work over our heads.” Tsung was feeling jealous.<br/><br/>“So, the second phase of the war begins and we're sent off to Butuan. My first active deployment in a combat zone. After about a couple months the driver falls sick from something awful and was sent home. He basically got his injury ticket out he was bent over so bad. I never thought to ask what he had. But damn, was he pale!<br/><br/>“We get holed up with an incomplete crew. About then we get your predecessor, Huang Ho or 'Little Brother'.”<br/><br/>“Why was he called Little Brother?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“Guy was small.” he exclaimed, “I want to say he was maybe from Taiwan.”<br/><br/>“He never talked about it?”<br/><br/>“No, but unlike you he was a lot more involved.” Tsung responded back with an almost accusing wave of his hand, “It never occurred to me.<br/><br/>“But the war in Mindanao was a cursed sweaty thing. It rained a lot, there was mud everywhere, and we dug our tank out of muddy road ways more times than I can count. I got enough mosquito bites to last me the rest of my life and I think I fell ill from something once every month, but never so much so I was sent home; which by that point I would have wanted.<br/><br/>“But the Philippines was a lot of driving down jungle roads hoping some pig doesn't shoot a rocket at us from the trees. We lobbed a lot of shells at things that I don't know even existed but Song insists an infantry patrol found and there was some arguing over the radios to set up some sort of bearing on them.<br/><br/>“And the tank leaked when it rained. We actually had to bail it out.” he said laughing, “That was fun.”<br/><br/>“That was your Philippine tour?”<br/><br/>“Pretty much. You can talk to Lin about it. We called her Lady San Francisco since she came in when we rolled into some town by that name. I dunno why, but Ho was on about America a lot when we were there. I think he had family there. But he sort of forced it on us with how much she called her San Francisco.<br/><br/>“I wouldn't call her that anymore, she's still annoyed.”<br/><br/>“I'll keep that in mind.” Tsung nodded.<br/><br/>“Good...” said Hui, “So, heard what you wanted?”<br/><br/>Tsung paused to think about it. “I guess?” he said, he certainly felt time had passed.<br/><br/>“Good, maybe now you can be a bit more involved. I know nothing's happened but I was starting to wonder if you were just a child-like automaton.”<br/><br/>“Oh, wel- Wait?”<br/><br/>“You heard me.” Hui smiled snarkily.<br/><br/>“I'm not a- whatever you called me!” Tsung retorted defensively.<br/><br/>“Don't blame me, I'd blame Lin.” Hui laughed.<br/><br/>Tsung was about ready to try for pushing the matter further. But when the door opened he looked up, setting aside his remarks as Lin herself walked in, accompanied by a sergeant for the armored division. There was an enthusiastic pep to her step, and the sergeant himself looked modestly relieved.<br/><br/>“We got new armor!” she boasted happily, “It just came into the city not too long ago. We're heading back up to meet with Song as soon as possible.” she delivered the news with the same sort of cheer one might announce a new boyfriend, or girlfriend. It completely put aside any notions of idle amusement that Tsung aspired to as he looked stunned and surprised at his tank buddy.<br/><br/>“Comrade Wo, how are you?” Hui asked, standing up to bow to the officer.<br/><br/>Wo, a small and almost invisible sort of man returned the gesture, “I am fine, and will be better now that I can reclaim my own tank.”<br/><br/>“Until we can catch up with Song at the Republican capital he's our temporary commander. But I don't think we're going to have problems.”<br/><br/>“I only really foresee trying to organize reconnecting with the unit. By all reports I heard the country-side east of the city is in enough of our control that there won't be any significant threats to us.<br/><br/>“Now comrades, if you three can ready up quick we can go. I'm sure we're all excited.”<br/><br/>Reality returned to Tsung.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Nanjing</div><br/><br/>The ceiling fan clicked as it made its short and round rotations from the ceiling overhead. Behind frosted glass walls city detectives and patrol officers moved as shadows through the halls. The central police precinct for Nanjing was quiet and subdued, with only the faint ringing of telephones to cut the whispering of secretaries and officers. Through windows to the outside the stoic straightforward brick and mortar high-rises and apartments of Nanjing swept through its valley, the windows glimmering in the sunlight as blue smoke from distant linen factories puffed above the rooftops to mingle with the clouds that drifted quietly and lazy through the blue sky.<br/><br/>The air outside was humid, and it was no different in the conference room. Standing at the head of a long wooden table Chu Sun casually loosened the buttons of his uniform suit as he began his address. “The news came back from Beijing on the lab-tests on the recovered pieces of the bomb used at Dong Wu's rally. The suits in the lab at national central are confident that the make and identity of the explosive is unique to our man, a manufacture like it hasn't turned up in our records; revolution or post. I'm sure it's a detail our man Kwan Yu can describe.” he finished, motioning to a man a few seats down.<br/><br/>Yu bowed as he sat up. None to pretty to look at, Kwan Yu had the face of a fish. Heavy lips stuck out away from his mouth wearing a permanent swelling from a mean punch to the jaw. His flat nose pressed neat and round to his face, and he was as well as fat as an over-gorged gold-fish. But he spoke with a sharp confidence and steady tone, “Thank you comrade.” he smiled, which helped to smooth out his features, “Now while we can't get a sure fix on who our delinquent bomber is the thing the lab could say for certain is that the device used at the scene was a pipe-bomb. Or rather, multiple pipe-bombs. Their analysis of the remains of the explosive agrees with the Nanjing investigation that our suspect constructed and tied together several pipe-bombs linked to a timed trigger, possibly an oven timer to complete a circuit at zero.<br/><br/>“Chemical analysis of the compound use to set off the explosive is likely to be a mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate.”<br/><br/>“Great, we have to question everyone in the city now.” another investigator joke.<br/><br/>“Yes well, we can't all be so lucky that out terrorist has managed to get his hands on actual military-grade explosive, Riu Huang.” Yu conceded with a dull smile.<br/><br/>“Now it's reasonable to suggest our man knows that the explosive charge this mix provides in a single pipe isn't nearly enough to kill, so by the over-kill evident in its size I can say confidently that our individual isn't trying to start a panic, he's aiming to kill.” he rested a fleshy hand on the table as he sat down, “Now I'd like to talk some more but this sweaty head in damning me.” he complained.<br/><br/>“I'll take over.” the man next to him conceded, a slightly smaller and fitter counterpart to Yu. Carefully combed back hair reflected some sort of attempt to appear contemporary and younger than the middle years he was in. With spectacles balancing on the tip of a narrow down-bent nose he took to speaking, “Our bomber also took to further compensating for the lack of impact he calculated his package would have by having it near to the stage. Cross referencing with scene reports, photographs, and the first-hand accounts of city detectives as the scene itself we went through the paces of trying to figure out the conditions of the explosive while the lab was looking at the composition.<br/><br/>“The attack itself took place in the Zongshen South Park, just several blocks from the Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum. By the time we got to the area that scene was already swept up well before any of us got there. They had deconstructed the stage and city authorities were beginning to actually patch the small crater the bomb left in the concrete plaza. So return value to the location has been lost completely, we'll have to rely on photos and maps for future evidence and leads.”<br/><br/>“I suppose in the end this relates to our victims of the explosion.” Wu Jing-Shen cut in, scratching his head uncomfortably. “Forensically we can figure out how far all our victims were from the bomb, and they were pretty close. I'd say between the crowd and Dong Wu.”<br/><br/>“Fine and all, but are we actually close or are we confirming Nanjing's department did a good job so we can pat them on the back?” Riu Huang asked with hard grating wit.<br/><br/>A boisterous man, Huang carried shoulders like an ox, hardly contained in his clean flat-brown suit. He rubbed long thin fingers across his square sunken face, “Any one we would otherwise suspect his already under surveillance or still in prison. Our hidden hotels too don't like to release people on any date, some of our biggest anti-government names are so deep in re-education they basically don't exist anymore.”<br/><br/>“It's a fair point, but the investigation is still fairly young.” acknowledged Sun, “We got an untraceable weapon, no immediate subjects, and our crime-scene is too cleaned up. I think the only order I have on this is that we re-pursue witnesses to try and get a physical description of our man. But before we should look into just how the bomb got there. If it was left in a bag we could narrow it down.<br/><br/>“I'll go to the Nanjing City Events Committee and see who helps put together and build these rallies, we could have a reliant witness body there.<br/><br/>“More-over, I think even now we can be confident in one thing: our man is targeting politicians. But we don't know if there's a history here. Dong Wu wasn't local to the area so we can rule out local mis-identification or hate towards the man. For safety reasons any future candidate sweeping through Nanking will need to be under tighter security, the city police know that. But what we need to do as a team is look out not just for him but for anyone who raises red flags, that's my second standing order.<br/><br/>“Whose our next candidate on the campaign trail to come to the city?” he asked, finishing.<br/><br/>“Wong Hua-Kau.” Huang said, “He's another minor league and in the bottom percent so no doubt willing to risk any personal safety to gather support. I'll get in contact with his campaign and say while he's in Nanking the National Police will be with him.”<br/><br/>“Good, thank you comrade.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tianjin</div><br/><br/>A warm breeze blew across the sandy beach, stirring the bushes and shrubs that scratched against the railing of the porch overlooking the beach. Flocks of gulls littered the beach, herons plied the shallows in search of crabs. Far out in the waves of the Bohai Sea the pencil-thin profiles of ships passed across steel-blue water in the haze of an open sky. The smell of sea-salt was fresh and heavy in the air, providing a crispness as Chairman Hou leaned against the armrest of a wicker chair.<br/><br/>Relaxed, a large white shirt hung from his slender old frame. He looked down under the brim of straw wove, white Panama hat to a cup of tea cradled in his crooked fingers. With a straw he stirred a loose tea leaf through the briny water, mixing in added milk with care and patience as the warm drink cooled to a more palpable temperature.<br/><br/>Alongside where he was seated the glass door wall slid open. Stepping through, a man in a subdued gray suit stepped out onto the deck, nervously and reflexively turning his own hat in his hands. Hou looked up at him as the Congressman looked down at him. Smiling tensely, he bowed before the senior Grand Secretary.<br/><br/>“Good afternoon Wu Shou.” greeted Hou with a muted polite nod, “Please, sit down.” he invited, showing him to a nearby chair. Without hesitation congressman Shou took the seat he was shown.<br/><br/>“Tea, comrade?” Hou asked as he seated, “It's a fresh kettle, just brewed.”<br/><br/>“It'd be my honor.” We Shou smiled. His voice was as startled as a mouse. Sheepishly he reached for the simple cast-tin kettle and poured out a small glass of rich black tea into a spare porcelain cup.<br/><br/>Shou Wu was my no means a powerful looking man. Sheepish and slight, he really looked and acted like a congressional junior than the long-serving member of Congress that he was. Hou watched as a line of sweat beaded underneath his crown of graying hair.<br/><br/>The two sat in a certain silence, nearly meditative as Hou watched the sea. Shou Wu pensively waited for the great Hou Sai Tang to speak, sipping at the hot briny drink in his hands. “It's wonderful weather, don't you think?” Hou asked, breaking the silence.<br/><br/>“Indeed it is, comrade.” said Shou, “The weather has held well, for a while I thought it would rain, it was certainly threatening that.”<br/><br/>Hou nodded, said nothing. He removed his stirring straw from his drink and raised his cup to take a sip. The loose tea leaf rested against his coarse silver-white mustache as he drank. “I need you to drop your support from comrade Wong.” Hou finally spoke, cutting blunt into business, “Do you understand?”<br/><br/>“Excuse me?” a baffled Shou exclaimed, “I realize comrade Wong is not doing well in the elections, but he insists personally he can still pull ahead. Just recently NPN polls reshuffled the entire mid-field of the candidates list. If he can capitalize on this then he can get notoriety and jump ahead!” he insisted. There was a hint of personal bruising in how he spoke, jumping and stuttering as if he was struck a blow.<br/><br/>“He's been polling in the bottom five for the better part of a month and a half when Yue announced he was retiring from the campaign trail. And where do you think those reshuffled supports go to when they changed their minds at the news polls?” Hou asked, pressing. He turned to look at Shou, his face was paper-pale and dreading ultimatum.<br/><br/>Shou knew where most of them went to. He didn't want to admit it all the same. “I want you to announce you're ending support for Wong from congress and to your district. You'll be supporting the next best candidate, the next best related to him.<br/><br/>“You're going to put your name behind Zhang Auyi, lead your people in behind him.” he insisted, “There isn't going to be argument, Wong when his campaign runs out of steam will do the same.”<br/><br/>“Is this a planned succession?” Shou was visibly shocked, his eyes went wide.<br/><br/>“It's a top-office endorsement and hardly a planned succession of office. If it was otherwise I wouldn't have allowed Mang Xhu to run or all the eligible members of Congress to do so as well.<br/><br/>“Under a worse country, this election would have been quiet, and one of our own wouldn't have been blown up in Nanking.” hissed Hou, “But China is a better country, we deserve to act the part. But we also deserve a leader fit for its name who will be a shining example of China's cause. An icon, not an enforcer. Do you understand?” Hou took a sip of his tea again.<br/><br/>Shou dabbed his palm across his forehead as he looked down, “And what if I don't?”<br/><br/>“Next Party and Politburo committees I will put in a word to the fellow chair holders that your level of merit in the party is in question. Perhaps it will lead to you being relegated out of congress. Perhaps after your present term you will never be allowed to hold office in Beijing.<br/><br/>“Maybe you'll just be sent back to Sichuan to perform office work the uninspiring communal council from whence you come from, and you'll be dead-ended.<br/><br/>“It won't be a purge, but it'll be an exile from Beijing.” the threat wasn't necessarily one Hou sought to deliver, or even abuse. But once made he knew he would have to make good on it when it came time. But with the frozen look of Shou he knew it was something that was weighing heavily.<br/><br/>“I understand.” the congressman said with heavy resignation.<br/><br/>“I don't know what sort of pact the two of you made for this sort of thing but there's a time in place to recognize defeat in your crusade. The game's panned out for longer than it had any right to. Be humble and acknowledge that for your friend, he'll follow.”<br/><br/>“As you wish, comrade.”<br/><br/>“Good.”</div>"

Assanian clambered off of the couch that he had spent the night on, scratching at his stubble and tucking in half of the white undershirt that hung sloppily over his trousers. Hungover with a throbbing headache as was the usual for a weekend morning, he brushed away a bottle of vodka next to a progress report on subsidized apartment highrises in West Yerevan. It landed with a dull thud on the carpet while Assanian gingerly lifted the red phone off of its base. With a groan in his voice, he half-muttered: ""So it's happening?""<br/><br/>An aide on the phone acknowledged with a hasty affirmative and outlined what had happened an hour prior. Turkish warplanes had engaged Istanbul defenses and were dogfighting with Greek craft in the air. As it now appeared, Greece had lost the fight for the air and had rushed ground forces to the frontlines of the city. Istanbul militias had blockaded major armor movements in the industrial outskirts and were engaging in brutal street-to-street fighting with the Turkish troopers. Greek units had begun to reinforce the local police and militia detachments and were holding their own against overwhelming odds in a typical Hellenic fashion. Greek and Armenian vessels reported being strafed by token Ottoman resistance in the Black Sea and the Aegean, but the Turkish warships were more concentrated on steaming to battle positions along the Mediterranean. ""Mister Ivakon has begun execution of Operation Pyramid as per your orders. Airborne units are being cobbled together to drop as many personnel into Istanbul as we can in a short time period. Little activity on the border, looks like everyone is firmly entrenched and not going anywhere.""<br/><br/>""They don't want to go anywhere,"" Assanian predicted bluntly. ""Tell them to let headquarters know the instant a fucking Turk flinches in our general direction. They don't have the military buildup to try and smash our lines but reconnaissance has been wrong before.""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir,"" the aide answered unhesitatingly. The phone became muffled for a second as he relayed the information to another telephone operator with a direct line to the War Ministry. The aide came back and reported in: ""We're limiting our response to Istanbul but are ready to conduct aggressor plans with our border units, the Poti garrison, our Cyprus base, and our Kurdish outposts. Everyone is on high alert and waiting for your signal, Mister President.""<br/><br/>""Alright, alright,"" the President replied, throwing on a coat over a wrinkled dress shirt sans tie. ""I'm heading to the War Department. Tell Jordan... Eh, Minister Ivakon that I'm getting there as quickly as I can.""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir."" The phone clicked off as the aide hung up, presumably to attend to more important issues as intelligence flooded the call center to be distributed to other government officials. The windows of Assanian's residence rattled, helicopters flying low and fast from bases west of the Hrazdan River to Sevan Lake. Military couriers had taken to the streets in staff cars flying little Armenian flags, even personal civilian vehicles. In just a few short hours, the reservists would be completely mobilized to man defensive positions in antiaircraft nests and artillery pits all across the nation.<br/><br/>Assanian, still reeking of alcohol and bad decisions, slammed through his door while grabbing a briefcase. He had no idea what was in it, just that it was probably the one from the other day's meeting. A car was called from the motor pool to come pick him up and the Presidential Guard had formed a protective barrier around the city residence to deter saboteurs.<br/><br/>""The fucking world has gone mad!"" the President of Armenia shouted at nobody in particular. ""Spain! China! The fucking Ethiopians! Now this shit? Can we go six fucking months without another goddamn war?""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Joint Base Sevan Lake, Armenia</span><br/><br/>""Your unit has just been deployed, gents.""<br/><br/>A crisp morning breeze blew through the formation in front of the Sevan Lake barracks. The Army security battalion stood in fatigues before their commander, who outlined that because of the Istanbul crisis they were needed to rapidly clear and secure the Istanbul airport. Their battalion would be flown to a forward airbase in Greece before being trucked into the city under the cover of night. The flight was heading out in an hour. PFC George Yaglian bowed his head at the thought, the fact that they weren't even a rapid-response battalion bothering him. Now he had an hour to cram everything he needed for urban fighting into a rucksack and make it to the tarmac to board a plane. His roommate, standing next to him, also understood: his Armenian had been improving to the point where he really had no excuse anymore to disobey orders and act disorderly in public. It turned out for the best, as he narrowly avoided a transition to the Foreign Legion and a first-class ticket to an Istanbul drop zone right in the heart of the fighting. At least the airport would be on the Greek side of the Bosporus and therefore marginally safer.<br/><br/>The barracks was a rush of soldiers packing their gear. Yaglian tore apart his bathroom locker for a toiletries kit of shaving cream and toothpaste, packing that at the bottom of his green pack. Clothes, combat gear, a tent half, and a sleeping kit completed the nearly thirty kilo load. He packed some porn magazines in the side pocket, never leaving home on a mission without them. With a lot of time and little to do at his border post, Yaglian became a connoisseur of the pornographic arts. That, alongside drinking, smoking, womanizing, and complaining, became his favorite activities. ""This is bullshit,"" he blurted out to his roommate, exercising the latter.<br/><br/>""How am I supposed to tell the girlfriend about this?"" mumbled Private First Class Iain Panoutsopoulos in a thick Grecian accent.<br/><br/>""Do you even have a girlfriend?"" shot back Yaglian, stuffing a poncho liner to the top of his rucksack with some effort.<br/><br/>""I have... some...""<br/><br/>""Casino whores don't fucking count, Pano,"" Yaglian reminded him.<br/><br/>""This one is real. Do not worry, my friend.""<br/><br/>The rucksack went on over the worn body armor and load-carrying harness with a considerable amount of effort. Next came the rifle, slinging it around his chest atop the gear. It was uncomfortable and heavy, and it would be a permanent part of his person for the foreseeable future. The steel helmet - scarred and battered from skirmishes along the Georgian border - went on last, the capstone of his combat equipment. He had written his name, rank, and blood type on a white piece of tape attached to the front while a simple Orthodox cross had been painted on the back. Sometime during his tour in Georgia, the members of the outpost had all signed the sides of it in black marker. He wanted something to stand out from the newer members of the security battalion, so he managed to cobble together his most faded uniform - bleached almost white by the sun and and repaired in the barracks many times with a sewing kit. The formation went fifteen minutes later on the tarmac. Huddled together in the shade of a wooden awning, a Captain was giving the situation brief. The Ottomans were closing in on the city quickly and they were taking a flightplan over the Black Sea to land at a Thracian airfield - a strip of dirt carved out of some farmer's land - before being trucked in.<br/><br/>Not much else was discussed during the briefing: everything that was known was passed out on a strictly need-to-know basis. That didn't even account for what wasn't known, and that was most of the situation. They were being pushed out from high alert without taking time to collect their senses. There was just no time. The troops were rushed onto the waiting transport aircraft - gargantuan propeller-powered cargo carriers painted camouflaged green on top and bluegrey on the bottom - and sent out without much fanfare. Dusk fell over the hillscape of Armenia as the last of the three planes struggled off the cracked pavement of Sevan Airfield. They banked west, towards Istanbul, the final rays of sun shining off of the wingtips before it set beneath the horizon.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">The Black Sea</span><br/><br/>On the deck of a former flattop cargo ship were six improvised helicopter landing pads and assorted support structures. Heavy, Polish-made troop-carrier helicopters sat high on their suspensions, engines at takeoff speed and troops rushed inside. Rain pelted at the troopers huddled in their coats, seaspray lashed at the faces of guards manning the rail. Haroud Abbasian and Ibrahim Sulayev, platoon commanders in the 11th Foreign Legion Regiment (Arab) looked over the map of Istanbul marked up in battle plans. Their wave was the next one to go once the helicopters returned. They had been stationed on these makeshift floating bases in the Black Sea in lieu of an airborne paratrooper unit like they had thought, becoming the first Armenians to react to a crisis in Istanbul. It was rather fitting that most of the men weren't Armenian at all, but rather ethnic Arabs and Kurds who were placed together for unit cohesion. Abbasian and Sulayev spoke Arabic fluently and were to communicate between regular Armenian units and those in the 11th Regiment who were not as strong in the language and customs of their new home. Some of them grumbled that the Armenians sent the Arabs, Greeks, and Russians first into battle to preserve their own sons, but Abbasian was there to serve as an example that Armenians were going in with them as equals. It was a roundabout, mildly racist subject, and one that nobody tried to think or talk about.<br/><br/>Abbasian and Sulayev counted off their platoons as they clambered aboard the massive helicopters. The gigantic green beasts could hold as many as fifty troops, but was mostly designed for cargo. On the tailbooms of the craft were painted black and white stripes to easily identify them to ground observers that were inside the city already. These invasion stripes were adapted from American military tactics during their conflict with Canada. With the helicopters fully loaded, the ramps closed and sealed the men inside. The roar of the ocean, the constant pelting of rain, and the whomping thumps of the rotors were dulled by a skin of aluminum. Everyone inside stood huddled close to each other bathed in the red lights: there was no sitting space with all of the gear and weapon systems crowding the cabin. It was suffocating, sweaty, and miserably tense. Someone tried to crack a quick joke in Arabic, effecting only nervous laughter. Abbasian leaned back against the ramp in the back next to his squad leaders, who all looked to him with a mixture of anticipation and cold apathy. He was tested, sure, but new to their unit. He was similarly a half-breed, and the ethnic Arabs had a distrust of their mixed-race Lieutenant. Until they personally saw him on the battlefield, the doubts would remain. Abbasian loaded a straight magazine into the rifle and held it close to his body like a child.<br/><br/>""I'm not about to give some sort of grand speech,"" said the platoon leader sagely. ""Look out for your mates and keep your head down. That's it.""<br/><br/>It took an hour to get to Istanbul. They flew low over the waves to avoid antiaircraft fire, but it was useless anyways. A pair of fast-moving attack craft had spotted them on a shorefront patrol and moved to engage. The small, nimble craft engaged their supercharged propeller engines and honed in on the beasts racing towards the city. One of the helicopters raised its throttle, nose bucking up to gain altitude and slow its speed. A Turkish fighter saw it, turned, and fired a burst of cannon across the sky. The tracer rounds streaked towards the slow, hulking, and poorly maneuverable helicopter before shredding the tailrotor in half. An explosion flashed brilliantly across the dark waters and the helicopter immediately began to autorotate. Over the radio, the pilot frantically called his last mayday as the main rotor's energy spun the craft out of control. The torque tore the fragile beast apart on the way down to the rough waves, where it impacted in a thunderous splash. The fighters, satisfied, peeled off to begin another assault but were turned back by, as luck would have it, a need to refuel. The wreck of the helicopter was never found, while Istanbul authorities recovered the body of a washed-up soldier five days later. It was assumed they had drowned.<br/><br/>It took them another fifteen minutes to get to Istanbul after a quarter of the company had been lost in the helicopter crash. The landing zone had been picked up by Pathfinders on the beaches months before and were now lit by flares prepared by the forward-advance ground teams. This was the fourth landing of the night. On the beach was yet another wreck: a helicopter from the second wave that had snagged a powerline with its rotor, pulling out a telephone pole with its immense force and slamming it into the side of the body. Nobody had been hurt, but the craft was deemed useless and had been condemned to lay on the beach for the remainder of the operation. The four helicopters that had survived the trip from the helicarrier touched down on the sand nearby to hurriedly disgorge the troopers. Abbasian counted off his men as they left, loudly shouting the numbers as they ran from the ramp to a seawall that was being used as cover. The helicopters were sitting ducks for Ottoman airstrikes, despite the overwhelming Istanbul flak and cannon fire that blanketed the sky. They landed for maybe thirty seconds at most before struggling off the ground, whipping sand and seaspray at the Armenians on the beach.<br/><br/>Before long, the sun's rays peeked through the buildings on the cliffs of Istanbul. In a double-file line, Abbasian led his troops up through the paths to the city proper, quickly before they were ambushed by an Ottoman element. Istanbul had been bombed for a solid twelve hours by tactical air units trying to snuff out militia positions: an office building not a hundred meters away billowed smoke as its carpet, paper, wood furniture, and anything else burned away in an inferno. Waves of heat washed over the Lieutenant, who scrambled his way over rubble and into the haze of smoke. Gunfire rang out through the streets. It echoed through the empty, tightly-packed streets. Boots crunched on broken glass. They were close to their objective: a hotel situated to the east of the canal that divided the city in half. Abbasian's platoon was a forward warning element for the regular military, tasked with holding off Turkish infantry as they maneuvered through the streets outside of the cover of their armored vehicles and air power. For now, the militiamen held off the Ottomans at the industrial outskirts but were falling rapidly: they simply hadn't had enough time or resources to train up against the relatively experienced Ottoman military hardliners. Abbasian didn't trust them to hold out for much longer.<br/><br/>And they didn't. Lieutenant Haroud Abbasian trudged through the courtyard to the hotel when he heard the first shot: it cracked over his head and sent his troops scrambling for cover. The safeties on their weapons were clicked off and someone shouted a direction to return fire.<br/><br/>The war was on.</div>"

A wake of pulverized dust rose into a fire red sky as it came onward into the foothills of the Ethiopian Highlands.<br/><br/>Hassan chose as his perch the top of a small hill north-east of Dire Dawa. From here, he could see the flat valley where the battle would begin. It was rainy season in the highlands, and stream beds that spent most of the year bone-dry now trickled with shallow water. One river - the Dechatu - divided Hassan from Dire Dawa before running north. Another came down from the east and ran along the edge of the eastern hills. They came together in the north, where they disappeared beyond the river bluffs that marked the end of the Danakil desert. Between the waters was the road to Djibouti, and the indention left by the destroyed railroad. The road and rail met in a small village beneath the bluffs; a place called Shinile<br/><br/>It was in that direction that Hassan saw the enemy appear. The Spanish approach kicked up so much dust that the north was covered in a brown haze. When the solid figures of tanks appeared out of the haze, it sent a chill through Hassan's body. This was it. Djibouti had been a planned failure, but this was the real test. What happened here would decide everything.<br/><br/>""Tell the armor to move out."" he said. No hesitation. He could not afford to be anything but bold here. To break under the pressure that such a fight imposed... that would be the end.<br/><br/>He heard the motley sound of a dozen different manufactures of engine come alive in the valley behind him. He had hidden his armor in the vale between the hill he had chose as his perch and the rising highlands south of Dire Dawa. The first shots of the battle were fired as the Ethiopian armor made its appearance out in the open. Hassan became aware of his breathing. He monitored it, taking strong and steady breaths. He could command his forces where to advance and where to fall back, but he could not command them to succeed. For now, he could only watch.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>A hundred armored fighting vehicles pressed inexorably southward. They were elements of the 133 Regimiento Blindado, the armored spearpoint of the Spanish invasion. Lightly-armored vehicles fitted with heavy machine guns and small cannons on their turrets roared across the last remaining miles of the detested Danakil, spitting sand and sun-baked gravel from thick-walled tires. Compared against the heavyweight tanks and rocket artillery plodding along some distance behind, these lighter vehicles were small, weakly-armed, and thinly-armored. But their light weight made them nimble and maneuverable. They were light cavalry of the Ejercito, perfectly suited for harassing, raiding, and cutting off routes of escape. Or rather, perfectly suited for such roles in more suitable climes.<br/><br/>The Danakil's unearthly heat, however, could not be more unsuitable for the sort of blitzkrieg warfare that the Spanish commanders had planned for the East African theater of the war. After Spanish light armor had landed at the smouldering ruin of Djibouti, the armored vanguards raced after the withdrawing Ethiopians into the Danakil through the night and well into the day. Come the sun's heat, Spanish drivers found their engines overheating. Stranded on baking desert and open terrain, the first waves of Spanish light armor took heavy losses from Afar fighters and dehydration. The Spanish learned to advance armored squadrons at night and early morning, but it proved too late to catch up and waylay the withdrawing Ethiopian forces.<br/><br/>But on this dawn, the Ethiopians could retreat no more. Here at Dire Dawa, at the yawning mouth of the African Rift Valley, Ras Hassan's forces made their stand. As the Spanish armored cars came ever closer, their enemy came into view. Plumes of diesel smoke rose skyward against the stunted skyline of a provincial city. Ethiopian armor was moving to engage the Spanish advance.<br/><br/>Spanish jeeps and armored cars ground to a halt as their drivers laid eyes on the enemy. Commanders unbuttoned their hatches or leaned out the windows with binoculars in hand. In magnified detail, they witnessed their opponent. Hundreds of tanks in every shape, size, and state of repair. The more learned officers might have recognized postwar Renaults or the numerous Polish contraptions, but the variety was staggering. It was clear that the Ethiopians had cobbled together every automobile with a gun and some armor in an attempt to match the Spanish. But had those tankers learned to fight together as a cohesive force? Did they even know how to operate all of the vehicles in that hodge-podge? Their inconsistency would be their downfall.<br/><br/>Thunder rumbled across the western horizon. Puffs of fire and smoke erupted from Ethiopian tanks as a handful opened fire. A series of sharp whistles rang across the barren plain as a dozen shells fell in a wide scatter a kilometer short of the Spaniards. Ranging shots; evidence that the enemy gunners were unfamiliar with their tanks and what they could and could not do. The Spanish commanders resolved to press their advantage in a flurry of radio signals. Motors roared as their insides filled with fresh diesel, and the 133rd drove forward into the valley.<br/><br/>The Spanish drivers weaved and bobbed at patternless intervals as they advanced, speeding up and slowing down at random. They had entered the enemy's field of fire, but hitting a moving target at this distance would be a difficult task. The African gunners tried nonetheless, sending screaming shells upon the light armor in a thunderous fusillade. Plumes of pulverized ejecta sailed a hundred feet into the air with each impact and rained down around the Spanish.<br/><br/>The randomized, staggered advance was not foolproof, as a more experience Ethiopian gunner demonstrated. A high-explosive shell grazed the side of a Spanish armored car and exploded directly underneath. The vehicle was ripped apart with bent fragments of thin armor plating raining down with the debris cloud. The mangled chassis of the vehicle somersaulted to the side before grinding to a halt as a burning heap. It was a stark reminder that despite the obsolescence of their enemy, the powerful guns on their tanks were plenty strong to make mincemeat of armored cars.<br/><br/>Before more carnage could be unleashed against the Spanish advance, the roar of propellers screamed overhead. Gunners on the cars tore their gaze up to see long-winged airplanes buzz past mere meters overhead, red-yellow roundels on their wings and sides identified them as Spanish aircraft. Two pairs of the Cachalote torpedo bombers roared fast and dizzyingly low; low enough for the tankers of the 133rd to see their underwing bomb racks laden with ordinance.<br/><br/>The two wings veered to the north and south walls of the valley, where Ethiopian flak guns opened fire too late to give the attackers pause. As the planes approached the advancing Ethiopian armor, they turned about and ran above the enemy tanks. Amidst the front tanks of the Ethiopian column, the Cachalotes loosed their bombs onto the enemy. One by one, heavy cylindrical canisters fell - sometimes into the gravel, sometimes falling directly onto the African tanks with booming clangs. Then the second wing crossed the path of the approaching tanks, dropping their bombs in the path of the enemy. Not wanting to run into the bombing strafe, most of the tanks slowed to a halt. With their weapons dropped, the Spanish planes beat a hasty retreat back to the aircraft carrier waiting off the Somali coast.<br/><br/>Curiously, the bomblets did not explode. Nozzle-like apparatuses on the base of the bomblets popped open on a timed fuse instead, propelling a thick gray smoke that billowed up and outward with a pressurized hiss. Shouts of terror rang out through the Ethiopian tanks upon the realization that the Spanish had employed deadly VX gas against them. Some gulped their last clean gulps of air and held their breath as the noxious clouds spilled over their vehicles. Some used their last moments of life to whisper prayers to Allah, God, or whichever they called their maker.<br/><br/>But as the smoke clouds wafted across the valley and seeped into their vehicles, the agonizing pain associated with exposure to VX was never felt. The odorless gas that was claimed to render instant death smelled sharp and acrid, but did little more than elicit bouts of coughing. The realization came gradually that this was not nerve agent. What sort of poison gas had the Spanish just used against them?<br/><br/>The mass confusion within the Ethiopian ranks distracted many from the fact that they could not see but a few feet in front of their turrets. Through the smokescreen, the roar of the advancing Spanish vehicles grew ever louder over the sound of their idling tanks.<br/><br/>And then, without warning, a torrent of lead tore through the synthetic fog into the Ethiopian armor.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Hassan could no longer see the fight. It was obscured in dust and smoke, so that only the firing of guns and moans of steel could be heard, and the flash of fire seen. He realized that, even so close, he had no way of directing his armor from here. When enemy aircraft made their appearance, it became apparent that Hassan's lofty position made him nothing but a target.<br/><br/>He climbed into his vehicle and pointed south toward the town. He could not direct the armor, but he could prepare the infantry for their part in the battle. He was comfortable with ground troops - the staple of the wars his ancestors had fought. It would be up to the commanders of Ethiopia's armor to make their own decisions.<br/><br/>The ride down the hill jostled Hassan back and forth, and he held on tight. A wing of Ethiopian aircraft came in from the south - too late to counter the first appearance of Spanish planes, but a welcome sight none the less.<br/><br/>The smell of smoke and gasoline was beginning to fill the air now. When he reached the trenches where the Somali soldiers waited, his first instinct was to look back at where the battlefield was.<br/><br/>But all he saw was ruddy blankness.<br/><br/>""Have all artillery focus their fire just below the bluffs. If they can make out Shinile, or know where it is, tell them to use it as a reference point."" he said to his communication man, who cranked alive a bulky portable radio and shouted back Hassan's orders into the microphone.<br/><br/>When he came to the Somali Regulars in their trenches, he found many of them praying in Arabic. Their voices came together into one drone, above which the cannons began to drum and the clamor of armored warfare held constant amplitude. But the drone of their prayer coming together like a song put Hassan in a better state of mind.<br/><br/>When the Spanish planes flew over, the sound of misplaced gunfire filled the town. It came from the poorly disciplined men that filled most of the African military apparatus. But the Somali soldiers stood with discipline. They did not flinch. They prayed.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Behind the incoming wings of Spanish Halcones came the approaching roar of helicopter rotors. Over the last leg of the shimmering Danakil came a quintet of Barracuda helicopters buzzing in low and fast toward the field of battle. In the rearmost chopper, Victor Ponferrada - general and commander of the invasion of Ethiopia - stood in the aisle between his pilot and copilot and surveyed his soldiers gathering for battle behind the armored columns.<br/><br/>""Bank right,"" General Ponferrada told the pilot over the resonant thrum within the cabin. The pilot eased the joystick over, tilting the right side of the helicopter gently toward the ground. Sprawled across the desert floor some hundred feet below him, the menagerie of Spanish weaponry was on display. Trucks with howitzers in tow were being driven up toward the battlefield. Up ahead, he could see howitzers that were already in position and nearly deployed. As his chopper sped past, Ponferrada watched for a fleeting moment as the baseplates of the mammoth guns were staked into the sun-baked earth by Spaniards armed with sledgehammers. Within minutes, the battle would be joined by the Spanish guns. With a nod of satisfaction, Ponferrada held his hand flat and waved it in the pilot's view - indicating that he was to level out.<br/><br/>The rocky plains leading into the valley were occupied by a swarm of combat vehicles. Centauros and Mesteños - the Spanish main battle tanks - crawled forward with clusters of infantry following right on their treads in order to advance under the protection of tank armor. As they advanced toward the billowing curtain of artificial fog, the light tanks ahead of them rolled backward in retreat. The smokescreen was quickly dissipating, the Ethiopian drivers of the tanks mired in that smoke would be advancing through within moments. With their cover disappearing, the light armor was withdrawing and ceding the field of battle to the heavier guns.<br/><br/>The Barracuda shuddered as its rotors cut through the downdraft of an Halcon buzzing past. Ponferrada's eyes followed the fighter up as it arced skyward to put guns on an Ethiopian fighter high above the battlefield. Wispy contrails trailed behind the wingtips of the Ethiopian plane as it banked hard to evade its attacker. Ponferrada recognized the humpbacked profile of the Ethiopian fighter - a Focke-Wulf 288. The postwar Prussian Spatz was a respectable plane, but combat aviation had made much progress since the 50s and the hand-me-down 288s would have a difficult time evading the guns of the younger Halcones.<br/><br/>""Increase altitude,"" Ponferrada demanded, knowing the Ethiopian fighters would be too preoccupied with their individual dogfights to strafe his helicopter. The pilot throttled up, sending the Barracuda climbing several hundred feet above the battle. Up here, the General was presented with a commanding view of the battle playing out below him. From this height, it was like watching minuscule tanks escorting clusters of ants toward the diffusing shroud of smoke - armored cars and pulled away and withdrew along the north face of the valley. Every movement on the battlefield was his to survey. What Alexander or Napoleon might have given to see Hydaspes or Waterloo from a God's-eye view such as this.<br/><br/>Ethiopian tanks could be seen lumbering out of the smog now, certainly ready to avenge themselves for the initial barrage inflicted upon them by the Spanish light armor. Ponferrada took the radio mic from the copilot's console and spoke into it.<br/><br/>""Enemy armor is emerging from the cover of smoke. Coordinate amongst yourselves to focus fire on high-caliber armor. Use your shape-charge rounds for the main battle tanks, incendiary shells for the light armor in order to sap their courage."" he commanded over the mic, holding it against his throat rather than his mouth to conceal the noise of the propellers.<br/><br/>The first ten to fifteen Ethiopian tanks burst forth from the smoke cloud into the crosshairs of an approaching column of Centauros. A moment passed as the gunners within zeroed the gargantuan muzzles upon the enemy, followed by fire and thunder erupting from their cannons. The earth around the Ethiopian tanks burst into a fine cloud of dust as the vehicles absorbed the impact of the shells fired upon them. Blossoms of sparks and red-hot metal fragments radiated out from the impacts. The Ethiopian armor seemed to be surviving the initial salvo.<br/><br/>The African tanks responded in kind - not as a concentrated fusillade as the Spanish had conducted, but sporadic fire. Ponferrada saw the flashes of fire burst from the Ethiopian columns, and then diverted his attention to his own armor. The first thing the Spanish commander noticed were a handful of geysers of debris rocketing up from where the Ethiopian rounds had hit bare earth rather than a solid tank - many of them had missed. Perhaps the African tankers were not well acquainted with the quirks of their vehicles, perhaps they were not well trained to begin with. Ponferrada didn't much care as to the reason why, but was nonetheless glad to see such ineptitude on the part of his opponent.<br/><br/>More Ethiopian armor had rolled in from the fading smoke into the kill-zone, prompting the Spanish armor to open fire once more. Ponferrada first saw the flash, and then heard and felt the percussive force of the soundwaves jolt the helicopter. The distance and constant whine of the rotors notwithstanding, a thunderous blast could be heard clearly by all those aboard. Sparks and slag burst from the Ethiopian tanks. With this salvo, Ponferrada could see visible signs of critical damage to the Ethiopian vehicles. A few tanks had taken damage to their treads or wheels, causing them to advance in weakened spasms or veer to the left or right. One began to billow with thick, black smoke from within. A Polish TK-55 must have taken a shape-charge round to the magazine, for that unfortunate tank was annihilated in a spectacular fireball. The turret rode the explosion skyward before crashing back down to Earth in a burning heap - certainly a terrifying sight to the other Ethiopian tankers.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian tanks managed another salvo - this time only one or two shells missed. Two of the older Centauros had taken serious damage - particularly one whose exhaust port turned into a jet of fire. Black smoke billowed out from its hatch and from the cannon itself for a few moments, before the force of an explosion from within the tank blew the hatch off and sent a plume of fire spewing out from the cannon's muzzle. A smoldering fire burned from within the tank, incinerating the crew within. Ponferrada could only hope that death came swiftly for the four souls inside. His grimace reminded him of his chapped lips, and he drew a canister of lip balm from within his breast pocket and applied a dab to his lips. The Spanish armor fired once again in retribution while Ponferrada rolled his balm-lathered lips together.<br/><br/>""Deployed elements of the 130th Artillery are to open fire into the kill-zone,"" the Spanish commander said into the mic as he screwed the lip balm canister back together. ""Anti-armor ordinance - low arc, maximum velocity - to be fired on my mark. Armored units are to advance into the kill-zone upon termination of that salvo.""<br/><br/>The Barracuda was jarred violently as an ear-splitting bang set warning sirens blaring through the helicopter's consoles. The pilot and copilot immediately set about flipping various switches and knobs.<br/><br/>""What the Hell was that?"" Ponferrada snarled.<br/><br/>""High-caliber munition,"" an anxious copilot reported as he shut off the sirens. ""Probably an anti-tank round."" A staccato burst of bullets pinging off the Barracuda's armored hull confirmed that the chopper was being fired upon.<br/><br/>""We're taking ground fire from enemy infantry,"" barked the pilot. ""Given your priority, we need to withdraw to a safe distance.""<br/><br/>""Fair enough."" Ponferrada agreed as he took the radio mic up to his throat once again.<br/><br/>""Mark! Open fire!""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Hassan climbed onto a flat-topped house and looked out toward Shinile where the duel of armor was underway. Smoke and dust still obscured his vision, allowing only chaotic glimpses and making it difficult to understand the line of battle. What he saw did not give him confidence. Behind him, his radio-man monitored near unintelligible chatter. He wondered which belonged to the tank commanders, and what they were saying. He wanted to have their view.<br/><br/>Overhead was waged a different sort of battle. The aerial war-horses of the Ethiopian airforce - craft with paintjobs more attractive than their pedigrees - contested the skies against the Spanish. There was no certainty in that fight either. They twisted through the sky, partnered with shining Spanish fighters, dancing together in a way that seemed almost beautiful. The painted Ethiopian craft - lions and warriors, dancing women and Christian Saints - added a melodramatic tinge to the event. The Spanish fighters were cold and industrial, with colorless fuselages gleaming like polished silver in the desert sun. That was their fight; mirrors and mythology playing for the air.<br/><br/>Directly below him, where the neatly aligned streets of the main city met mangled squalor in the form of unplanned shacks and dirt huts webbing all along the edge, platoons of men with anti-armor guns and rocket launchers advanced cautiously toward the front. Some rode in the backs of large polish trucks, or the smaller taxi-trucks that only had three wheels. They would be the first thing to come rushing back if the armor broke.<br/><br/>A pair of dancing fighter planes moaned over the city. The African soldiers opened fire on them, shooting pointlessly above their own heads.<br/><br/>""Radio the hills."" Hassan shouted above the noise. ""Ask them if they have anything left to throw into the fight.""<br/><br/>The radio-man relayed the request, and a static voice responded over his machine. They did.<br/><br/>""Send them in. Stick to the hills. Right flank. See if we can put some push on them.""<br/><br/>Hassan drank in the noise of war, fingering the grip of his handgun. His men were poorly equipped and without uniform training, but they had something the Spanish lacked. Inveteracy. They had fought in Syria and the Red Sea, in Katanga and Ta'if. They had fought against each other in '74, and some would have been old enough to remember doing the same in '52. Some, like himself, had seen action during the Congolese Revolution. Spain had seen war too, but never as deep and never as total, and never on their own door step.<br/><br/>He stood, his mind plugging away at the problem of how to win this thing. He watched the pulsing dust in front of Shinile. He listed to droning aircraft engines and the heart-like thump of armored vehicles dueling on the sand. And, like the footsteps of stone giants, he heard his own artillery doing its work.<br/><br/>But then another sound joined it all. An answer to his own artillery. The enemy had brought in heavy guns. He saw the flashes and the bursts, more furious than what tanks could produce, and he began to reassess.<br/><br/>""Recall those reserves."" he yelled. ""Send them around the east hills. Tell them to use the ridge-line as a mask. Go around the hills and strike at the back of the enemy."" Inveteracy. Perhaps he would catch the Spanish unawares. This was a text-book maneuver, but he had caught them unprepared before.<br/><br/>A V-line of five Ethiopian fighters passed overhead, slow and low, their planes groaning from the lack of altitude. Hassan pondered how many years it would be until the Afar dug out the last of the scrap-metal this battle was producing. When would the last twisted Spanish steel go to market?<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>""Open fire!"" The battery's commander bellowed to his orderlies.<br/><br/>A soldier under his charge tugged fiercely upon the howitzer's lever, triggering the firing pin to smash into the shell's firing cap. A clap of thunder set the desert to trembling as the gun's muzzle belched a plume of fire. A patina of fine dust burst upward around the howitzer from the massive recoil, but the gun itself held fast with its iron talons staked firmly in the desiccated earth. Another blast, followed by dozens more, heralded the start of the Spanish barrage.<br/><br/>The Spanish guns were aimed at a shallow angle and their shells flew fast and low - nothing like the arcing trajectories of the German shells plunged upon Ypres and Verdun in the Great War. Solid cones of steel screamed just above the Spanish armor before gravity pulled the shells downward into the Ethiopian columns. At such speeds, the barrage was unstoppable; be it earth or steel, the shells pulverized whatever they hit. Those tanks hit by the shells crumpled like tin cans.<br/><br/>As the cannon report echoed off the surrounding hills, an unearthly sound howled across the land - a ghastly falsetto accompanying the choir of battle. The drivers and gunners of the Ethiopian armor witnessed plumes of fire rising above the Spanish tanks. Those who had served in the Danakil knew what was coming - they had tasted the fire of Spanish rocket artillery fired en masse.<br/><br/>The rockets arced high above the battle, buzzing past the Halcones and Spatzes dueling for mastery of the sky above. There, thousands of feet above the ground, the propellant fizzled out and their Earthward plummet began. Crude and inaccurate, the rockets scattered wildly as they rained down amidst the Ethiopian armor. When they careened into the African tanks, the high-explosive charges in their pointed noses exploded. The rocket casings disintegrated as they burst, transforming into high-energy shrapnel with enough energy to perforate light armor.<br/><br/>In the midst of this withering fire, The Spanish tanks went on the offensive. The Mesteños, fast and durable, led the way into the battered Ethiopian column. Using the husks of wrecked tanks as cover, they filtered into the Ethiopian column, sowing confusion and disorder among the Ethiopian armor. The Spanish circumnavigated the heavily-armored fronts of the Ethiopian tanks and scored shots on the more thinly-armored sides. The poorly-disciplined drivers of the African tanks, fearing a fiery demise trapped in a burning tank more than the quick death of being shot for desertion, resolved to retreat. One by one, Ethiopian tanks shifted into reverse and backed away. If their tanks could no longer move, then they unbuttoned the hatches and poured out on foot. The rout had begun.<br/><br/>News of the routing Ethiopian armor trickled through Spanish radios in crackling Castillian. New orders came to the artillery: double down on the attack and prevent the Ethiopian tanks from rallying. The artillery officers issued their soldiers new firing solutions, prompting the gunners to tweak the angle and direction of their monstrous guns. But unbeknownst to them, they were watched from above as they made their calibrations.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>From the hills that hemmed the valley in, a regiment of Somalian fighters peered over the ridgeline into the Spanish artillery batteries. Down the hillside, dozens upon dozens of howitzers were trained upon the battlefield on the opposite end of the valley. The infantry had all but left them to assist the tanks in scattering the Ethiopian armor. They paid no attention to their surroundings, the artillerymen were preoccupied with the armored battle going on downrange or leafing through the trigonometry manuals for their guns. Ras Hassan had guessed correctly - the Ferengi commander had left his artillery unprotected. Now was the time to strike.<br/><br/>The Somalians charged above the crest of the ridge and raced down the hillsides with their weapons drawn. An avalanche of African fighters descended to the valley floor at full speed. As they neared the bottom of the valley, they filled their lungs with dry desert air and announced their presence to the Spaniards with an ululating warcry.<br/><br/>""LILILILILILILILILILILILILI!""<br/><br/>The Somalian warcry resounded across the valley. The Spanish artillerymen tore their attention from calibrating the cannons and recoiled as they witnessed hundreds of African fighters charging down from the hillsides at full sprint toward them. The officers drew sidearms, but the enlisted artillerymen - unprepared to participate in close combat - did naught but quail and turn to flee.<br/><br/>Seeing the terror in the Spaniards renewed the zeal of the Somalians. As they neared flat ground, they held their weapons to their hips and fired into the Spanish batteries. Here, the Somalians resolved, the ferengi would be repaid for several massacred Afar villages.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>The events in Shinile passed beyond Hassan's vision. What he saw was a line of solid Spanish tanks advancing steadily through the broken remnants of the Ethiopian armor. African planes in their full painted beauty dove at the coming enemy, peppering them until the very last moment they could pull away. A few tanks stalled and smoked on the field. It was not enough. The din of the battle was so loud that, when the African soldiers at the edge of the city opened fire, the effect was almost unnoticeable. But in the next moment, when the Somalis on the right flank joined the fray, that noise could be heard across the entire field. They raised up in their trenches, ululating and shouting in high voices. Their line didn't just respond with haphazard gunfire - a volley of anti-tank rockets launched all at once from their place, and their fire washed over the enemy in a flash. There were fewer, but the advance would not waver or turn around.<br/><br/>The tanks opened fire. Their sound drowned all the rest. It was soon a matter of buildings and fences exploding. Hassan scrambled from the roof with his guard. Dust flew around them.<br/><br/>""Ras, the ferengi have entered the St Gabriel."" a voice shouted on the ground. Infantry. He had expected his armor to do more, and now it was broken, the battle was in danger. The city was in chaos. A three wheeled taxi-truck rolled by like a chariot, armed Ethiopians in the back.<br/><br/>""We can't defend this part of the city."" he said. ""The houses are too small, the streets are open. Their tanks will drive us. We need to pull back to the center of town."" he looked behind their position, seeing if he could spot a good place for defense. The town was flat, so that even the squat huts and shacks out here near the edge managed to block what he could see. There were a block of four-story apartment buildings near the railroad yard. He knew their construction was poor, and that it wouldn't take long to bring them down with heavy guns, but they and the road nearby overlooked the empty space of the rail-yard. It was the only place to make a stand.<br/><br/>""That'll work."" he mouthed. He had a plan now. He started to speak out loud now. ""That'll work. Where is a runner, I need a runner!""<br/><br/>Nobody. No matter. He grabbed one of his Palestinians by the shoulder and squeezed. ""You! You're a runner now! Change of orders. Pull back every other battalion and have them fortify them behind the railyard. We will use the workers apartments as a bulwark!""<br/><br/>The guard motioned a solemn acknowledgement and jogged off. This was the plan. He led the rest of his men to the Somali trenches, passing only two blocks from the front lines.<br/><br/>He found the Somalis hard pressed. They had rocket launchers and armor-piercing guns, and it was their place in the line that had singly held against the enemy advance. The first trenches had been torn by enemy fire. The remnants of those soldiers found a new place in a goat pen, surrounded by a wall made from one foot of thick mud-brick, topped with a line of ordinary sticks driven into the mud like pikes. The Spanish attack sent splinters flying from the top, but the bottom miraculously held. The Somalis crouched unnaturally behind their scant protection. While some fired back at the enemy, others frantically dug into the ground.<br/><br/>""Ras!"" the commanding Somali officer shouted from the back trench, holding onto his helmet while shrapnel rained all around. ""Get back! It is gory work here! This is not the place to be!<br/><br/>""Can you hold this position?"" Hassan shouted back over the din.<br/><br/>""We're still here.""<br/><br/>""Stay here."" Hassan said. ""We are pulling back to the center of the city. This position needs to hold or this army is over.""<br/><br/>The Somali commander looked back over his embattled soldiers. He sucked in air between his teeth, making a hissing sound. ""This will be an ugly thing, but we will hold. Save this battle for us, Ras.""<br/><br/>Hassan nodded at the man and left him there to fight his fight. The battle for Dire Dawa wasn't over yet.<br/></div>"

Yaqob sat enthroned outdoors. An early-morning rain had made the rich African earth a muddy slosh beneath his throne, and filled the air with the fresh scent of grass and soil. The sky was also wet - not cloudy, but wet with a cool after-storm mist that made all the colors of nature vibrant and bright. <br/><br/>To Yaqob's right was Ras Rais in starched military dress. Rais had joined them on his way back from a meeting with Hassan, heading toward Shewa in the entrenched highlands. To Yaqob's left was a ferengi black man from America: Fitawrari Bucephelus L. Scott, the leader of the International Sefari, wearing a blue kepi and a great-coat cape that recalled the war the Americans had fought over slavery. The Fitawrari Scott was leading the ferengi of his International Sefari to reinforce Hassan at Dire Dawa, and the Emperor thought it fitting to escort them some of the way. <br/><br/>Yaqob's attendants held heavy, embroidered umbrellas above the heads of their Emperor and his companions. Mvulu stood below the throne in the ivory-and-cream dress uniform of the Imperial guard. The priest Zerihun Biruk stood in front of them all, dressed in black robes with a golden chasuble draped across his shoulders. He was leading a prayer, his hands stretched out across the field where a dozen riders in shammas and traditional clothing sat atop their horses. On the other side of the field was a mass of people, appearing as a sea of white robes and shammas peppered by the fatigue uniforms of the foreign soldiers. <br/><br/>As Zerihun spoke, the people bowed their heads in prayer. All was silent except for his somber voice, and the distant turbulence of the Awash river at the bottom of the hill. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""O Lord my God, in Thee do I put my trust. <br/>Save me from all them that persecute me; and deliver me, <br/>lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces while there is none to deliver. <br/>O Lord my God, if I have done this, <br/>if there be iniquity on my hands, if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me. <br/>Let the enemy persecute my soul and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,<br/>and lay mine honor in the dust. Arise, O Lord, in Thine anger; <br/>lift up Thyself against the rage of mine enemies, <br/>and awaken for me the judgment that Thou hast commanded. <br/>So shall the congregation of the people compass Thee about; <br/>for their sakes, therefore, return Thou on high. <br/>The Lord shall judge the people:<br/>Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to mine integrity that is in me. <br/>O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just;<br/>for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.""</span><br/><br/>When the priest was done, a slow murmur came over the people. Zerihun found his seat just below Yaqob. <br/><br/>Once all was still again, the horsemen saluted their Emperor. ""Negusa Negast Yaqob the Second, Elect of God, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah and King of Kings of Ethiopia."" their voices joined into one. Yaqob responded only with dignified silence. <br/><br/>Once the pomp was finished, they spurred their horses and began to ride. They rode one way across the field, and then the other, and then back again, with hooves pounding heavy on the earth. Each rider had with him a number of long spear-like rods, which they grasped with one hand while holding the reigns with their other. Yaqob watched them, but he hardly saw them. There were other things on his mind. The Walinzi attempt to save his sister had failed, putting her in danger and giving the Tanganyikans all the evidence they need to prove the Ethiopian Empire was in the wrong. War had came through the Danakil and was nipping at the edges of his homeland. Everything worked to break his already fragile spirit. <br/><br/>""What do you call all of this, your Imperial Majesty?"" the Fitewrari Scott asked. He spoke a sporadic Amharic interlaced with English words to fill in the gaps. <br/><br/>""Gugs. It is a game of war. You will see in a moment, when they get started."" the riders were still riding, showing off their horsemanship and warming up. <br/><br/>""I think the knights of the old dark ages used to do this."" Scott noted. ""These men do not fight like this, do they? I mean when they are on the battlefield, during the real war.""<br/><br/>""No."" Yaqob smiled. ""I suspect they kept their rifles with their families today.""<br/><br/>""I saw Ras Eba Gugsa ride in the gugs."" Zerihun noted. His voice had a tiredness to it, as if he was worn down by the effort of remembering something from so far back.<br/><br/>""When was this?""<br/><br/>""Oh... so long ago that I cannot recall. Was I a boy, or a grown man?"" he shook his head and smiled. ""The past has all become one thing. Never mind that. I recall that the Ras was getting older. Filled with hate after the war. I remember he had a reputation for spurring his horse bloody.""<br/><br/>""Brutish man."" Yaqob said.<br/><br/>""Takes a certain kind of evil to take your problems out on a helpless horse."" Scott berated the long-dead memory of the man he'd never met.<br/><br/>Ras Rais still said nothing. He hadn't said anything since Yaqob greeted him, and even then their conversation had been formal. But that was who Rais was, and though it made it difficult to warm up to the man, it did not seem out of place or strange. He sat straight and stiff like a statue in Egypt. But it was in Yaqob's nature to bring the man into the conversation. He figured it was this way for most people in politics. A man unaddressed was an opportunity missed.<br/><br/>""How did you find Ras Hassan on the front?"" he turned to face Rais.<br/><br/>""He is in his element on the battlefield. In the face of war he is determined.""<br/><br/>""As always. I have faith our forces will pull forward in this thing.""<br/><br/>""Faith."" Zerihun said approvingly. ""That is the important thing.""<br/><br/>The riders began their spectacle in earnest. Hooves kicked up fat clods of dirt and horse shit. They formed into two groups, one chasing after another, with the pursuers tossing their rods and the pursued doing their best to dodge or deflect them. Back and forth they went, pursuers becoming the pursued once they reached the end of the field. <br/><br/>""This is an affair. One heck of an affair."" the Fitawrari Scott looked amused. <br/><br/>""If only war were this pretty."" Yaqob replied.<br/><br/>""If only."" Scott said. ""I have seen war. I saw it in Tennessee and Cascadia. I didn't think I would be seeing it again.""<br/><br/>""This is your third war?"" Yaqob asked. For him, it was easy to forget how much had happened in America. <br/><br/>""I might just have lost count."" Scott smiled grimly. <br/><br/>""Such a strong person, to have went through all that and still saw it fitting to join in our war.""<br/><br/>""Come from strong people.""<br/><br/>""I have heard these things, about the Negroes of America. I suppose you have been through more than I can know.""<br/><br/>""Not as much as you would think. I grew up easy.""<br/><br/>The conversation lapsed for a moment when they were distracted by the fighting. Two horses crashed into each other and brayed like harpies, but the riders held on tight.<br/><br/>""I was directed to think that Africans had it hard in America."" Yaqob continued their talk.<br/><br/>""Most do."" Scott continued. ""Oh, I've been called by a few mean words in my time, but I can walk right by and forget about it. See, my grandpa owns a tool and dye shop in Alexandria, Virginia. Across the river from Washington DC. We have money, so we don't have too much trouble. It is those poor Negroes in old dixie that see the worst of it. Horrible things go on down there.""<br/><br/>""Satan is in too many places."" Zerihun injected. <br/><br/>All there was to do was to agree, and be silent. <br/><br/>The ceremonies came to an end, but the crowds did not disperse. The warriors prepared to move, as did Yaqob's entourage and the foreign soldiers, but the villagers did not go. Instead they shouted words of encouragement and prayers. They hung religious charms on the necks of some of the men, both the shiftas and the ferengi. And they shouted to him, their Emperor, sending him a volley a prayers and praise, and making requests he could never promise to fulfill. He walked with Ras Rais and put on a strong face like that of a great war leader, though he hadn't felt prepared for the tasks ahead of him since this war began. He saw, in the crowd beyond his Imperial Guards, women with children clinging to the skirts of their white dresses, and old men who looked sorry to be past their prime now that their world was threatened. There were steely-eyed boys, manliness swelling in their skinny chests as they watched the shifta warriors walk tall with rifles and swords. The young boys would search for the war so long as it was going on, and when the opportunity came, they would become a part of it. These were his people; the people who suffered in his name, because a far away enemy chose to hate him. Could he save the nation by sacrificing himself? Was that an option open to him? He almost wanted to. To take up a cross and martyr himself for his people. But he knew it wouldn't work, that truth stood invincible at the back of his mind. If he surrendered, it would mean losing any real opportunity to be helpful, and to work for his people. But had he even worked for them at all? That question nagged at him.<br/><br/>When they reached Ras Rais's staff car, the general turned around and bowed. ""Your Imperial Majesty, be safe on your travels.""<br/><br/>Yaqob smiled. ""I hope that the next time we meet, it will be in victory.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Rais said, smiling limply. ""If you are in need of any assistance in evacuating Addis Ababa, I will send what I can.""<br/><br/>""I suspect you will need all of your equipment to defend our capital.""<br/><br/>Rais looked somewhat uncomfortable. It was an unusual look for him, so in seemed to translate as a look of pain. ""I fear I will not have the opportunity to defend the capital. If Hassan fails at Dire Dawa, my forces will be the only thing between Spain and the rest of the country.""<br/><br/>""I am not a military man, so I will not contradict your orders, but is the capitol not priority?""<br/><br/>""The capitol can move to Gondar. Most of it already has. And now it is cut off from the coast, Addis Ababa makes a poor industrial city. If I were to move my forces into the Awash valley, then I would be drawn into a fight where I and the enemy are on equal footing. The highlands are more defensible.""<br/><br/>Yaqob felt as if he had been struck down by Rais's words. ""I will confer with Hassan when I get a chance."" he waved. ""The Chinese have offered to help with the evacuation. We will work out what part the military shall play when it comes time to do it.""<br/><br/>Rais bowed again and climbed into the car. Yaqob watched it go down the road, wheels spinning in slick mud. The wet coolness in the air was beginning to feel like a numbing chill.<br/><br/>The Emperor met with Mvulu, Zerihun and the Ferengi Fitawrari. They climbed on horses - easier to see the country from, and more inspiring to the people who lived near the Awash. It had been Yaqob's idea a first; a gimmick that would look royal to the average peasant, and would allow them to truly drink in their surroundings. When the Fitawrari Scott explained that he had never once rode a horse, they found him a mild pony that required very little guidance from the rider. Troop trucks carried the the Ferengi Internationals, while Zerihun, Scott, Mvulu, and Yaqob rode on ahead along with Yaqob's Imperial Guards. Mvulu's peg-leg was strapped to his saddle by a device he had made custom for the job.<br/><br/>They rode over the descending savanna of the Awash valley as it faded toward the Danakil. This was a place of rolling grassland and sparse acacia trees. It was still not unheard of to see wild asses grazing in the shade of those trees, though most wildlife had been scared away by the Ethiopian caravan so that Yaqob saw nothing but some birds and lizards.<br/><br/>""What is your faith, Fitawrari Scott?"" The Priest spoke. <br/><br/>""Methodist. Born and raised in the Hunting Creek 1st Methodist Church.""<br/><br/>""American Protestant. We are brothers in one faith then. Our church and your church shares one God.""<br/><br/>""I suppose it does."" <br/><br/>""Tell me then, what part does your churches play in the racial fighting in your land?""<br/><br/>The Fitawrari grinned wide. ""Every part on God's big old earth. The Black churches fight the good fight. We send food and money down to the southern black churches so they can help their people. My pastor met with your countryman on a march in Jacksonville commemorating the race strikes from back when Dixie was a country.""<br/><br/>""Our countryman?"" Zerihun questioned. ""An Ethiopian?""<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">The Ethiopian</span> is what they call him. I do not know much about the man.""<br/><br/>""I have heard of him."" Yaqob spoke up. ""A good man, putting his all into a good cause. If I had a legion of such men, this war would be over before the rivers dry up."" Yaqob did not speak the whole truth. He could not tell him how the Walinzi had warned Yaqob of the man who called himself the <span class=""bb-i"">'Ethiopian'</span>, and how his continued crusade for Negro rights in America could ruin US-Ethiopian relations. It had been their recommendation he write a letter to the President of the United States denying Pan-African support for this ""Ethiopian."" The letter had never been written, but that did not mean Yaqob hadn't seriously considered it. He wondered again if he was the right leader for his people. <br/><br/>""We'll find another way to end this war then. Even if we have to fight us some fights in dry rivers.""<br/><br/>Yaqob smiled, but he found it hard to say anything. His mind was still overwhelmed by the news of his sister, and what Ras Rais had said about abandoning Addis Ababa if Hassan fails. The war had hung heavy on his every moment for months, stinging at his chest and dragging down his thoughts. Now it was extremely urgent. He could hear the sound of the axe swinging above his head, and it was coming down on all their necks.<br/><br/>""There are churches in the south that help persecute southern negroes."" Scott said. ""It was two years back I read about a church that lynched itself few young boys for an supposed crime against one of their daughters.""<br/><br/>""Vigilante justice. Shifta justice."" Zerihun reflected. His eyes glazed as if he were turning his vision inward.<br/><br/>""They were twelve. Both of them were. Brothers. Twins I reckon. They hung them from the steeple. Your Imperial Majesty, that is why I am here. If I went down to be some sort of hammer of justice in the south, its would cause trouble for my kin back home. Feds would snoop around my granddad's shop. And what type of fight could I give? If John Brown's ghost don't rise up with the banner of the Lord's vengeance in his hand, then fighting violent ain't going to get anybody nowhere. That's a battle for lawyers and politicians, and men like that ""Ethiopian"" who can fight that way. I know the soldier way of fighting. And I can do that here, against the type of injustice I know how to fight. Shoot the bastards, leave'em in the field, and shoot me some more.""<br/><br/>""Then we count you as our brother, Fitewrari Scott."" Yaqob said.<br/><br/>""And I am glad to be your brother, your Imperial Majesty.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>They slept at the edge of the southern highlands, under tents like the nomad kings of history. Kilometers on horseback had worked Yaqob's thighs sore. He struggled to sleep. Sometime after midnight a light rain fell on their camp. He could feel the air get colder within moments, and the patter of rain on canvas made it harder to sleep. <br/><br/>But it was not just the climate that kept him awake. He was consumed by a tingling inevitability, like victory was an impossible thing he chased because he had no other option. It was all in vain. He thought of the wrong he had done: overthrowing Sahle, looking the other way as Hassan mutilated children in far away Katanga, presenting the head of the Rouge General at a banquet in a fit of fevered zeal. He had always meant to do right, but circumstances never let him. That was no excuse. There were no excuses; sin was sin. What would the priest say about that? Could the judgement of God be pulled back? Or was it too late? Once dead, the executed man couldn't be stitched back together. Even God's judgement, at some point, had to be counted as irrevocable.<br/><br/>When the night seemed deepest and the rain coldest, he thought he heard airplanes in the distance. A soft hum barely audible above the rain. Pain danced in his chest, just below the scar. He needed to let it all go.<br/><br/>It was still dark when the Emperor found the priest's tent. Zerihun stirred easily. He lit a match, and then a candle. A vulnerable light filled that simple tent. The Emperor sat down on the floor. He was struggling to keep his emotions in check.<br/><br/>""I am doing wrong, father. People die and I am to blame.""<br/><br/>Zerihun's face was protective in the flickering light. It was a look that made Yaqob feel like a little boy, and the tears trickled in spite of him. <br/><br/>""The enemy says that I am all they want. That it is what I have done... my policies, that is what they come to destroy. I fear what it would mean for me if I surrendered myself. But it would be easier for this country.""<br/><br/>""No, child."" Zerihun spoke. The familiarity of his speech both stung at Yaqob's pride and made him feel warm. He said nothing, and Zerihun continued to speak. ""The easy path is not the best path to take. This is true with one person, and it is true with many. What is difficult is worth doing. Think of the first man who thought to sow a crop. His neighbors would have said <span class=""bb-i"">'What a fool you are. Grain grows in the summer, and we can eat our fill. That people must starve in the winter is unavoidable, that is the way it has been since the beginning of time. Do not try to capture the grain, but pray with us for the return of the good days in our ancestors time when fewer starved.'</span> But the man planted seeds, and he learned by his mistakes. He did not, when the first crop failed, say <span class=""bb-i"">'This is the end of my endeavor, because this thing cannot be done.'</span> He tried again. And in trying, he made the world a better place. Men have to struggle for their world to improve. And so do Emperors. Surrendering is easy, but it wouldn't do any good for your people.""<br/><br/>It was what Yaqob had hoped to hear, and he wept openly. Zerihun prayed with him until dawn.<br/><br/>When the sun came over the hillside, and the Ethiopians were awake, they set off again. Yaqob did not feel at peace, but that was fine. He would do as he had done in Addis Ababa before Ras Rais had told him the bad news. He would take his discomfort and put it to work. If he had been a bad leader in the past, then he would leave that in the past. He would not dwell. Instead, he would use his fear as wind for his sails.<br/><br/>The countryside was dusty and brush-scattered. Villages built from mud and twig stood quiet between dry river beds. One village they passed had a Mosque built out of bundled sticks, with a minaret that looked like the spindled finger of a jungle forest God pointing at a dry desert sky.<br/><br/>Near midday, they passed a copse of trees near a trickling river bed. Flakes of white covered their leaves like a dusting of European snow. An Imperial guardsman hopped from his horse to inspect the strange material. He brushed a finger across the top of a leave, inspected it, rolled it with his thumb, and then licked it. <br/><br/>""Ash."" he said.<br/><br/>Zerihun looked knowingly. ""It is silent now, but on a typical day a dry wind prevails south across the Danakil.""<br/><br/>Yaqob understood. ""Djibouti is just north of here.""<br/><br/>""Nearly.""<br/><br/>They all looked at the trees uncomfortably; the guardsman with the ashen finger most of all. There was no wind now, and the trees were silent as granite. The caravan pressed on.<br/><br/>The world became ominous to them after the trees. A thin haze filled the sky, like the smog left by city life. The air smelled smokey. There were times, not often, where a faint rumble could be heard in the distance. It sounded like thunder in the desert. Storms were rare in the Danakil, but they were not unheard of. But there was also war out there, they all knew that, and each time the sound was heard, battle was all anybody could imagine.<br/><br/>""I do not know what America is like."" Zerihun broke the uncomfortable silence with the American Fitewrari. ""But I hear it is a green land. This must all look horrible to you.""<br/><br/>""It got it's own kind of beauty."" The Fitewrari said.<br/><br/>""The Afar is where they unearthed the oldest human skeletons ever found."" Yaqob noted. ""Humanity might have very well started in this place.""<br/><br/>""My momma told me man came about in Eden."" Scott replied. ""This don't look like any kind of garden I've seen.""<br/><br/>""This land has changed."" Zerihun ""The deserts have not always been deserts. Even gardens wilt, my friend.""<br/><br/>""Now father, are you telling me that God done let paradise wilt?"" Scott teased.<br/><br/>""I suppose he must have."" Zerihun replied. ""Where else could it have gone?""<br/><br/>The smell of smoke grew thicker as morning became afternoon. The haze was heavy on the air now, like a film of dust on glass. There were flashes flickering to the east, and the occasional disembodied sound of battle. Yaqob had never experienced these things. Battle, for him, had always been a distant idea. He had no interest in entering it, but he had made up his mind that he would get close enough to see it. Was it honor that drove him? Or curiosity? He couldn't tell.<br/><br/>""You Imperial Majesty, I think we should prepare to turn back."" Mvulu asked anxiously.<br/><br/>""Not until it is time. I will decide when I am ready.""<br/><br/>""That is very good, your majesty. But I must remind you that your guard cannot protect you from a Spanish army.""<br/><br/>""We will not get that close."" Yaqob promised. ""But if I turn back now, I will feel incomplete.""<br/><br/>They were near enough now that the throb of big guns could be felt. Small-arms fire could be heard just below the gentle purr of the wind. The air smelled unnatural - chemical, and metallic, with the haze of smoke now so oppressive that it made him feel hemmed in. Mvulu sent some of the guard to scout ahead, accompanied by a couple of the Shiftas in their party. <br/><br/>Planes flew overhead. Yaqob did not know who they belonged too, but they made everybody nervous. ""Your majesty."" Mvulu said as the horses whinnied and stamped. ""I cannot protect you from enemy planes. We should turn back now.""<br/><br/>""These horses cannot outrun aircraft."" Yaqob replied. ""We must trust in our fates.""<br/><br/>The other men said nothing. There was a sense, shared among them all, that speaking might attract the enemy. It wasn't realistic - the enemy was still far away - but the feeling was enough to make everyone silent. It was the horses, not too proud to snort and cry at the sinister atmosphere, and the burly hum of diesel engines, that made all the noise for them. But those were paltry sounds compared to the nearby battle.<br/><br/>The riders returned and told them that there was a makeshift field-hospital just over the rise. They were on the very edge of the war now. Yaqob quickened the pace of his horse. He wanted to see this thing and be done with it. He climbed the precipice of the hill. What he saw on the other side was the ugliness he had expected. Dirty, ragged, and broken scattered on the open ground. On the far horizon was fire and choking-black smoke<br/><br/>""Oh god."" the Emperor said. The words felt like a whisper in his throat, but it had been loud enough for the priest to hear.<br/><br/>""Shall the sword devour forever?"" Zerihun murmured in a voice that was thoughtful and somber. They rode down the hill.<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm3LEmFFj2g"" rel=""nofollow"">(Optional Music)</a><br/><br/>Yaqob could see in the distance a valley filled with smoke and fire. Dire Dawa was only a shadow in the fog of war. His first face-to-face image of war was hideous, but it wasn't far away battle that took his attention. Once he started to process everything he was seeing, it was the people in the camp below him that he saw. Wounded, broken, and used up, they leaned against smashed tanks and armored trucks shot up so bad they were near unrecognizable. The women and old men of a nearby village had arrived on the scene with buckets of water, which they served to the wounded in humble clay bowls. The women were ripping at the hems of their skirts to create makeshift bandages. All of them, the soldiers and the villagers, looked up at him one by one with faces confused and hesitant. When they realized he was their Emperor, their countenance changed. There was awe, and shame, and fear, and the tired looks of men who had given up. Others looked prideful or rejuvenated, the sight of their nation personified in the flesh waking them up from their defeat. Yaqob began to weep, but this time he did not weep for himself; He wept for his people.<br/><br/>""I think we can take it from here, your Majesty."" the ferengi Fitewrari said. He looked stoic, calm, and his dignity gave strength to Yaqob. <br/><br/>The Internationals started to unload and form up. What happened to them now Yaqob did not know. He saw the Shiftas heading in their own directions. Yaqob was now alone, with his guards, and the damaged men surrounding them.<br/><br/>""Could we use the trucks to move them?"" Yaqob asked.<br/><br/>""I don't think we can do much."" Mvulu explained. ""We might be looking at deserters. I don't know.""<br/><br/>Yaqob took a slow, deep breath. ""Maybe. Lend them the trucks though. We have no need of them.""<br/><br/>He rode out among them. There were bloodied soldiers, and those with no noticeable wounds. Some burned, others marked by ash. They all looked to him with their own personal forms of curiosity. It was situations like this, the powerful moments, where Yaqob did best. His heart was stirred. He spoke.<br/><br/>""I am so very proud of you all!"" he said. The words came slowly as he thought about what he would say. ""Seeing what you will do, I have faith our people will survive until the last days of the world!""<br/><br/>""We are losing this battle, your majesty."" an anonymous voice shouted out from among the people.<br/><br/>Losing. That stung at Yaqob's confidence, but he could not let his people see it. He was silent for a brief moment, where only the thumping artillery could be heard. ""You have lost one great battle, but that does not mean you have lost everything. You enemies and your friends have seen what you can do. If your ancestors could see what you have done for your country, they would crawl from their graves at Segale, and Adwa, and Magdala, and they would shout your names join you on the battle line! Be proud of yourselves, my sons. Remember what I said today when you witness the last invader leave our continent forever. Our children, and our children's children, will remember you all as the generation that saved the world!""<br/><br/>There was a weak cheer and ululation, weak because the wounded themselves were weak, but it gave Yaqob a surge of hope. No one defeat was total defeat. He was confident his country would be in this fight until the end. <br/><br/></div>"
22235,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-04-02 02:23:00,TheEvanCat,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">West Istanbul</span><br/><br/>Greek Army trucks were old, captured Ottoman medium-load vehicles painted in a mottled green lizardstripe ostensibly to camouflage against air attack while sitting in their motor pools. They were also noisy, rattling and growling as they shifted gears on the dirt roads into an Istanbul embroiled in conflict. They kicked up the light brown Grecian dust and belched acrid smoke that so happened to drift directly back into the cabins of the trucks in the convoy following. George Yaglian kept his head down behind the truck's cabin and had wrapped a red-pattern scarf around his face to keep the fumes out. His eyes watered and he had fits of coughing whenever a particularly bad cloud rolled through. His hands were gripped over the wooden handguard on his battle rifle and his gaze diverted down to the wooden floor of the truck. Yaglian's rucksack lied directly in between his legs, entangled with everyone else's gear in the cramped troop carrier. Around him, dozens of other similar trucks carried hundreds of Armenian soldiers into battle. Motorized infantry, as they were called, were instrumental in Armenia's plan to reinforce key areas while the Greeks tried to battle the Ottomans head-on at the Bosporus Canal.<br/><br/>Yaglian's unit, technically assigned as a military police detachment dealing with installation security, had been deployed from its regular duties guarding airfields at Camp Sevan Lake to secure the Istanbul airport before the Ottomans had a chance to get there. Air-transported to a forward Greek base, these men were being raced to the airfield before the Ottomans had a chance to cross the bridges - which had not been bombed due to refugee considerations - over the strait. The enlisted man next to Yaglian was his barracks roommate and good friend Iain Panoutsopoulos - often shortened to Pano by the Armenians in the company -, a Greek with shaky nerves and a questionable dedication to military service. Pano's leg bounced up and down while he played with his rattling handguard. Beneath a scarf made out of a dirty white undershirt wrapped around his neck and face, Pano's eyes were squinted as if he was trying to concentrate on picking out details on the ground. Yaglian put his hand on Pano's leg and looked over at him: ""Don't worry, they're still east of the canal,"" he said moderately confidently.<br/><br/>An explosion boomed from a distant fuel storage plant, punctuating the Private First Class's declaration. A raging fire sprang from the ruptured fuel tanks while secondary detonations rocked nearby buildings. A column of smoke rose in seconds, drifting heavily into the air before a trio of Turkish warplanes flew straight through it. Spotted by ground observers, an autocannon was directed to engage: 20 millimeter rounds erupted from no fewer than three ground stations. Three streams of tracers converged right ahead of the formation and quickly ripped the fighters to shreds. Machines of aluminum and steel became balls of fire hurtling into the ground.<br/><br/>One of the Turkish pilots had apparently bailed out and deployed his parachute. One of the gunners apparently noticed this and expertly targeted him with another burst of antiaircraft fire, leaving nothing left.<br/><br/>""Fuck me, fuck this shit,"" one of the troopers exclaimed. ""Nobody's flying anything into this fucking airport.""<br/><br/>""Shut the hell up,"" was the reply from the platoon leader. The middle-aged officer had one hand on the radio phone and the other over his ear as he tried to get directions from higher. A map had been taped to the top of the truck driver's cabin, which the Lieutenant stood behind. ""We're taking our right here!"" he shouted, banging on the top of the truck. With great effort, the driver swung the heavy, high vehicle to the right at a fork in the road and almost tipped the thing over. The scenery began changing from sparse houses to factories and industrial buildings to more built-up neighborhoods. Soon enough, the trucks were navigating through the rubble-strewn streets of Istanbul. Artillery fire raked the city blocks in a back-and-forth pattern, sometimes coming close enough to spray broken glass and shrapnel against the sides of the truck. One of these explosions came too close for comfort, rocking the truck back and forth. Yaglian flinched down, feeling the dirt land on the back of his neck: his ears rang for a few minutes after that.<br/><br/>The airport was a fifteen minute drive through the city. On the south end of the west side, the airport had a sophisticated L-shaped runway and a heavily expanded terminal capable of supporting passenger and cargo flights across the world. A smaller, military annex had been completely leveled in the opening blows.<br/><br/>Yaglian's truck was the fourth to exit onto the tarmac through a hole in the fencing. The trucks assumed a line formation and quickly sped across the tarmac, thundering and rumbling over the smooth asphalt. Forward observers, waiting for them, had called in quick-response artillery in the form of mortars from the other side of the Bosporus. Yaglian could hear the whistles over the roars of the engine, screaming: ""Get the fuck down! Get the fuck down! Incoming!""<br/><br/>Blasts rang out in ten-second intervals at random spots across the airport's runway. The trucks kept driving through the barrage. Meanwhile, panicked drivers began to speed up and zigzag in hopes of avoiding blast damage. Two trucks nearly collided before being swerved back onto their original courses, which now began to diverge as the battalion assigned to cover the airport were split to defend the different locations. Yaglian's company - Affirm - was heading to the terminal, while Baker was to hit the hangers and Charlie to establish spread-out perimeter security. Affirm company punched through the litter and debris on the tarmac to swing through towards the entrance boulevard. Suleiman International Airport was fairly sizable and had kept a garden boulevard well-maintained. Now, Greek trucks flattened the meticulous tulip fields while mortar shells knocked over palm trees and statues of folk heroes. The truckers aimed to unload in a parking garage near a roundabout next to the grand gates, to minimize danger from the air. This, however, proved fruitless when it was discovered that a police barricade had been erected a hundred meters down the boulevard.<br/><br/>The trucks stopped, but the barrage still rained down. As the explosions began to intensify, the troopers hurried to load up their gear and dismount. Yaglian had just donned his pack and grabbed his rifle's carry handle when he felt something warm and wet splatter across his back. Almost instantly, he heard a yelp and a gurgle. Shrapnel had torn through the neck of the man sitting next to him, almost severing his head. The Armenian jumped back, exclaiming ""What the fuck?!"", and then tripped and fell onto the pile of rucks in the middle of the truck. He scrambled away from the corpse now dangling over the side of the truck.<br/><br/>""Get the fuck off the truck!"" screamed the Lieutenant, before grabbing the dead man's battle gear with his right hand and pushing him off the side. The body, formerly a star barracks poker player named Ismail, landed with a thud. Yaglian, almost in shock, was picked up and thrown off the truck by someone else. ""Get up! Get up! Go!"" was the encouragement from a familiar voice. Yaglian whipped his head around, trying to regain his composure, before Pano yanked him to his feet with a strong, golden-skinned arm. ""Get to the terminal!"" the Greek shouted in his heavy accent. Another whistle: another explosion. This one landed atop the parking garage, destroying a support column and collapsing the top northwestern corner. Yaglian didn't need more of a sign than that, and picked up running after his comrades into the terminal.<br/><br/>Suleiman International Airport used to be a luxurious center of transit for foreign dignitaries, businessmen, and other people of note. A golden chandelier lay in shambles on the marble floor of the main hall, shattered crystal surrounding the mass of metal. Pearl white columns, the ones closest to the door stained with grime, supported a ceiling with a blown-out glass dome. Inscriptions in Ottoman, sayings from Sultans past, covered the high walls. Yaglian's company sprinted through the entrance hall, ignoring the shattered opulence in a startling juxtaposition of wealth and despair. They found shelter from the mortars underneath the airport's mezzanine, huddled together under tables in a Turkish restaurant. The explosions continued for another hour before the mortars were silenced and it was safe to move around again.<br/><br/>The battle reached the Bosporus by midday, and the Armenians met the Turks once again in fierce combat in the streets of Istanbul. Yaglian could watch across the bay and ships burned and airplanes fell. For now, the west was relatively secure and more elements were moving into the airport. It was slated as the new command and control center for the Armenian military if the embassy became too dangerous. Although no planes could land - indeed, the runways were cratered and at least one had the wreckage of a civilian airliner caught in the wrong place at the wrong time sitting atop the tarmac - and no formations could congregate for long, the hangars and terminals became staging places for the Armenian military in Istanbul.<br/><br/>For Yaglian, who had set up a marksman post atop the roof of the main terminal, the war was not ending anytime soon. He heard the sounds of battle cascade across the ruined city. Snaps, booms, rumbles, and sometimes cries. He felt every explosion and aircraft flyby. The artillery that so desperately fought to exterminate the Armenians before they reached the airport had been redirected elsewhere with only casual attempts to dislodge the dug-in forces. The battle had reached the neighborhoods near the bridges, picking up in intensity as more and more ordinance was dedicated to the fight. Yaglian and Pano, veterans of the Georgian theater, were still rattled by the ferocity of the fighting.<br/><br/>""Did we take any more wounded?"" the Greek asked slowly, carefully. His green eyes looked down at the concrete roof of the terminal while his hand tightened around the grip of his marksman rifle. It was a standard issue K19, equipped with a scope that couldn't really see far enough for what they were doing while totally destroying any semblance of effectiveness in close quarters battle.<br/><br/>""Us in particular, or?"" was Yaglian's response.<br/><br/>""Of course,"" said Pano softly. A machinegun burst from a guard position down by the tarmac was sent across the strait. The guards on the roof peeked over the hasty sandbag cover before dipping back down. ""Other than Ismael,"" the Greek added with a pained frown.<br/><br/>""You were close, weren't you?"" asked Yaglian. Cheesy, but he didn't know what else to say.<br/><br/>""The fucker conned me out of two months of pay,"" Pano lamented, referencing the seedy barracks poker games. ""But he was good for a Muslim.""<br/><br/>""We've got to get the body,"" the Armenian told the Greek. He cast a quick glance back towards the roundabout.<br/><br/>""Lieutenant got it. I saw. He was covered with a poncho in the lobby.""<br/><br/>""The Lieutenant did that?""<br/><br/>""Ran out in the barrage,"" said Pano with an approving nod. Yaglian slumped down a little, wondering if he should feel surprised at the heroism or disapproval for the carelessness of going out under fire. He settled on feeling both, but this was underpinned by a swelling of pride in his leader. Sometimes officers did make good people.<br/><br/>""I thought he was a dick but now I kinda like the guy, man.""<br/><br/>In the hours ahead, that Lieutenant would be shot by a sniper from across the canal as he fought a fire on the tarmac caused by an incendiary round. His head would be splattered over the Suleiman International Airport's runway for four hours until his body could be collected and sent back with the rest of the casualties as night fell and the Turks couldn't shoot as effectively. The Platoon Sergeant took command and assumed the Lieutenant's duties by morning. The operation would continue as planned.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">East Istanbul</span><br/><br/>""Shit! Fuck me! Fuck this shit! Fuck!""<br/><br/>A young Muslim soldier lay in the rubble of a collapsed room clutching his abdomen. A rifle round had torn through his body armor and fatigues before tumbling through his stomach and tearing a ragged exit wound in his back. The platoon medic was frantically stuffing cloth in the wound to soak up the blood.<br/><br/>""It's not serious! It's not serious! Shut the fuck up!""<br/><br/>Abbasian fired off the last of his rifle magazine at a shadowy figure moving in the smoke of the battlefield. He didn't hear any sort of scream so he loaded another one and popped off another pair. He shouted a contact report, catching the attention of a grenadier who launched a rifle grenade at the facade of the light-blue-painted building. The Lieutenant crawled away from the window he was shooting from and turned around to inspect his men. They had been lined up in the office building's windows shooting across a courtyard at the horde of Turkish soldiers streaming in from the east. Istanbul militias had taken up positions to the north, and the street was littered with their bodies and burned out vehicles. A stench of gunpowder and iron - from the blood - lingered in the air, complemented by smoke and faint scents of burned flesh. Someone had started a fire in the southeast quarters of Istanbul, in the slums, that was threatening to spread north towards the Foreign Legion's forward positions. The fighting in that particular industrial park had stopped for now.<br/><br/>It was like Erzurum, except Abbasian was now in charge of the fighting. He felt himself lose touch with reality as the brutality of the fighting was prolonged. He remembered the trenches and the boredom, the drug abuse, and the itching for war. He remembered the fear of fighting the first time, rethinking his decision as he felt the pressure of explosions wash over him and heard the bullets whiz by his head. This was not the first time he was convinced he was going to die: the fear of mortality in that building in East Istanbul was old hat for Lieutenant Haroud Abbasian. As Abbasian checked off his squad leaders in a calm, collected fashion like an automaton, he remembered missing war when he logged the woods of the Nagorno Karabakh. Walking along the woodland trails in the Black Garden reminded him of DMZ patrols and combat reconnaissance with the artillery observers. He missed the little things, like the cargo pockets on his pants that weren't there on his woodsman jeans and flannel. And now he was back in the fight, fearing for his life again. It would be funny if it weren't happening to him. Everywhere he went, he wanted to be somewhere else.<br/><br/>But being a leader meant that he had to put that behind him. Like when he checked off his squad leaders for ammo and casualties, Abbasian was supposed to be cool. That's what they taught at OCS. If anything else, they had to keep a level head even if their minds were racing like his was. Whatever emotions were running through Abbasian's head had to be kept away from his men. So when a seventeen-year-old Private was dying in what used to be a break room for a financial consulting firm, he was focused and collected. And thus, the detachment set in. He and reality no longer seemed to exist in the same place. Abbasian wanted to step back from it all and evaluate what he was thinking, process the complicated emotions that raced through his head. In reality, he was emotionless. He didn't show that he felt. If he showed anything, it could be weakness: weakness that could endanger his men. He couldn't break down, lest his men see the set example and break down as well. So as soon as Abbasian checked off his troopers and ensured that they could fight through another round of Turkish aggression, he settled back into his position by the Platoon Sergeant, medic, and radio/telephone operator, and readied his rifle.<br/><br/>He was the boss, he was the man. In the symphony of destruction, he was the conductor.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Stepanakert, Armenia</span><br/><br/>Maya Abbasian toddled behind her mother with a paper bag full of bread in her arms. She protested to her mother that she could hold it while her mom fumbled with three other bags of groceries. They walked down the sidewalk of a Muslim neighborhood in West Stepanakert, across the highway, which had not been very well attended to by the government. The paint peeled off of the walls, faded advertisements for products lined the brick alleys. West Yerevan was, by and large, an immigrant sector largely divided into self-segregated ghettoes. There was one for the Muslims, one for the Yazidis, one for the Russians, and one for the other Caucasians. The Muslims lived where the Turkish middle-class used to back during the occupation, mostly because the religious infrastructure already existed. As such, they were probably the most well-off of the minorities. Away from the shining government buildings in Yerevan, the glorious public works projects in Artashat - a city so brutally decimated that they were basically starting from scratch to showcase a ""new Armenia"" -, the Polish-funded factories of Hrazdan, and the neon-lit casinos and nightlife of Sevan were the simple, lowly neighborhoods of West Stepanakert.<br/><br/>There was some subtle tension between the Armenians and the Muslims of Stepanakert. The Turkish occupation had put a bad taste in the mouth of the mostly Christian nation for Islam, especially during some of the more hardliner years when mosques were built out of razed churches. These were, in turn, burned down by the Armenian Revolutionary Front in the 1940s and '50s and then again by the Armenian Separatist Front from 1977 to 1979. The Nagorno-Karabakh Crisis, when Ottoman Azerbaijan acted on its own to try and retake the Artsakh region was quickly put down by the Armenian military over the course of a four week war. The Abbasian family remembered the rocket attacks on Stepanakert, all while Haroud was away at the Erzurum DMZ. It was in 1979 where Fatima Abbasian's husband, Sirwan, had died in one of those attacks. He was getting gasoline for the family truck when an Azerbaijani rocket hit the gas station and killed two dozen civilians. A retaliatory attack on an Azeri school the next day was proudly reported by local media, but offered no condolences for the mourning family. These tit-for-tat attacks reassured the Christian Armenians, like it was a Crusade to vanquish the invading Muslim Turks and their lackeys from the fatherland. For the Abbasians, it was just more violence.<br/><br/>But that still didn't stop the tensions from creating a problem in the Nagorno-Karabakh. They had been refused service by Christian shopowners and restaurants a few times, and the police were always ""too busy"" to respond. It didn't really bother Fatima or Maya. She held out hope that her son's military service would assuage the community's fears about Muslim Armenians. For now, Maya had almost tripped over the concrete step leading to the front of their house and had dropped the bag of bread onto the porch. Her mother reprimanded her softly: ""Don't run so fast! You'll hurt yourself!""<br/><br/>Across the street, a neighbor planting her vegetables leaned on her shovel and chuckled. ""Keeping track of the kids, Fatima?""<br/><br/>Fatima turned her head and smiled while simultaneously scooping up the paper bag. ""Sure, she's a rowdy one.""<br/><br/>The neighbor, an older woman in her sixties named Karina, chuckled again. She also wore a hijab and a conservative blue dress, a crescent star on a gold necklace hanging from her neck. On her wrist was a golden bracelet from her family's history in Syria. Despite her worn face, her smile was somehow impeccably bright white. She was the elder woman of the neighborhood, having a long and industrious history in the city of Stepanakert doing who-knows-what. ""Have you heard from Haroud lately?""<br/><br/>""Not since a phone call from the train station, no,"" Fatima admitted. She brushed her hijab's loose end over her shoulder and smoothed out a wrinkle in her dress. Maya had gone off inside with one of the bags to put the groceries away.<br/><br/>""I wouldn't be surprised if that were the last time in a while,"" Karina said. ""I remember when Hassan went out with the Ottoman forces in... Well, I'll have to ask him again but I think it was Greece way back during the forties. He was gone for a good half a year and we only had a letter from him once or twice.""<br/><br/>""We've already had him away for nine whole months,"" Fatima lamented. She gave the rest of the bags to Maya one at a time so she could put them on the table. ""He managed to call every week or so. They had a payphone made at the firebase he was at. And he wrote all the time. Mailed his little sister all of these mementos like bullets and coins and everything else.""<br/><br/>""They invaded Istanbul, mind you,"" Karina replied soothingly. ""He might not have a chance to write anything for a while.""<br/><br/>The mother nodded as Maya came running out of the green wooden-paneled house with the dog. He bounded over the steps and ran out onto the yard where he spun around in circles, clutching his bone. Maya went down to play with him for a few minutes as her mother checked the mail. Karina went back to planting her vegetables across the street.<br/><br/>Inside was a letter from Haroud, posted on a plain beige envelope bearing military post office stamps. It was crinkled, and a suspicious mind might have thought they saw evidence of it being opened and resealed by intelligence agencies. It had been dropped off that morning while Fatima had been running errands. The postman, as was typical in rural mountain communities, rode his horse through every morning with satchels pinned to its side. He was always happy to deliver letters from sons and husbands at the front, being somewhat of an overbearing patriot. Fatima, smile on her face, excitedly grabbed the letter from her son and opened it there at the mailbox. Maya played with the dog still, throwing a stick and chasing it with childish joy. Her laughter filled the humid summer air.<br/><br/>Haroud's handwriting seemed rushed, scrawled on the Army-marked papers in black pen. Contrary to the usual neatness, the letter had been folded into thirds unevenly.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Mother,<br/><br/>My unit has been undergoing training for two weeks for a new operation. Two weeks! It's been fast-paced, learning how to operate in and around our new helicopters. These things are huge, loud, heavy, and they rattle like nothing other. I have about forty guys under my command, none of them speak any sort of Armenian except maybe my radio operator (who knows broken phrases.) I've been giving them a crash course in everything but these men are mostly immigrants who need more time. That's what we all need: time. We're getting rushed from one place to the other, hurrying through everywhere. I can't tell you what's going on, but I'm sure you'll find out shortly.<br/><br/>I'll be alright, however. Even without much time to prepare, I trust this to be over quickly. For now, we have received life jackets from supply. For what, I have no idea. I'm no sailor. I can't even swim (I remember when dad tried to take me down to the pond when I was little, I've never touched water since) and you know how I get nervous being over water. If we're flying our helicopters over the ocean... I expected to fight on land.<br/><br/>Let Maya know that I said hello and have some little trinkets for her. I know how much she liked patches and flags so I've got a box being sent that will get home maybe next week. I found some dog treats at this shop in Sevan on pass, maybe Tsaghik will like them! You know how she's picky. Give her a pat or two for me, too. I should be home soon.<br/><br/>Much love,<br/>Haroud</span><br/><br/>That was it. Fatima knew that Haroud had to be purposefully vague before the censors got to it. That didn't stop an inkling of worrying from appearing in her mind. What was her son doing? She heard the rumors of a new war with Turkey over Istanbul, was he going there? Maybe Karina would know, she had connections into the military that offered the neighborhood some relief when their husbands and sons went to war. She could figure out what they were doing. It was only a matter of time until they knew for sure. As she thought about the concept of yet another war, Fatima felt another unpleasant feeling rise from within. The image of an official Army telegram in the mailbox appeared in her mind's eye. She banished it immediately.<br/><br/>She had lost Sirwan. She wasn't losing Haroud.</div>"

And with the noon sun over-head much of the countryside's details, hills, groves, and roads had been released from their mystery under the dark moon-lit sky. Having marched much of the day down a long narrow road, littered with potholes and rocks the size of Ullanhu's head the three of them were on the edge of giving up. Even in the cool breeze of the Russian north, there hadn't been much relief in the long walk.<br/><br/>“You don't even know where you're going!” taunted Belyakov as they walked. The fourth time in the passed two hours, each sneering deceleration no less dulled from the last. But he was starting to loose his breath. Out of shape and old, his words came out forced on dry tired gasps for air.<br/><br/>“Shut up!” Vasiliy barked, smacking him across the back of the head, sending him into a stagger as he recoiled forward from the hit.<br/><br/>Vasiliy hadn't openly questioned it. Ullanhu felt on some level the man understood that there wasn't much choice with their truck out of commission. They could very well wander the woods, but neither of them were exactly well prepared for that sort of ordeal. Without so much as a map, the infinite web-work of the roads in the Russian country-side could and were their only means of navigation.<br/><br/>It was a wonder that while on such predictable pathways they hadn't been caught yet.<br/><br/>For all around there were rolling seas of amber grass, spaced and broken with frothy crests of hardy bushes, and even further interrupted by stalwart thickets and stands of trees bent with the wind and wound tight around one another. Spruce trees loomed over-head, silent and calm in their solitude as they sighed gently in the gentle cool breezes. Crows cawed in the distance as flocks of song-birds chattered in the trees.<br/><br/>It was an estranged sound to Ullanhu, he hadn't come to know much in the way of peace in Russia. So much of his time here had been moving feverishly from one point to another, around the sound of guns, or on the run he hadn't cared to notice the country's natural rhythms. He thought back to home, and the steppes of Mongolia and he realized in horror he felt sadness, a deep fearful nostalgia for home and a beginning of forgetting something.<br/><br/>The crispness of the Mongolian air, the stillness of the nights and the open skies over-head. A world without city or town, with only nature and the stars. Without threat, fear of violence. With a trembling heart he realized as he sat on these things he missed them, and he felt he had earned himself a long, long vacation to home.<br/><br/>Atop a hill they arrived to their goal. It was so different during the day, Ullanhu was unsure it was the same house he had seem illuminated in the nightly glow. It was a wreck, partially run down with the wood siding hanging askew by rusted nails. The windows were sagged, and the front-porch hung dangerously to one side as if ready to fall off completely. To the side an equally dilapidated horse-stable stood, occupied by a solitary rusted truck, some thirty years old by its appearance.<br/><br/>But more importantly, and what confirmed it to Ullanhu was that it bore signs of being lived in still. Trailing from a stone and mortar chimney a thin trail of smoke rose into the air before catching the breeze and dispersing completely.<br/><br/>“That must be it.” Ullanhu pointed out. His feet were sore, and he was more than eager to sit down; if the home owner would let them.<br/><br/>“Are you sure?” Vasiliy asked, surprised and disgusted.<br/><br/>“I only saw it at night, I only knew it was here because someone lit lanterns in the windows. But it's the only house here we've seen for miles, and someone lit a fire inside at least.” the Mongolian agent observed, pointing to the smoke rising from the chimney, “There's a truck parked in their stables too.” he added.<br/><br/>“So is there.” Vasiliy nodded, there was a song of relief in his voice, “We'll in move investigate.”<br/><br/>“Yea, sure. We'll move in.” Ullanhu repeated. He felt a pang of guilt as he drew close behind Vasiliy as he drew his pistol. He hoped that it wouldn't have to come to violence. He may technically be one, but he never held himself to be a soldier.<br/><br/>It's why he liked his desk job.<br/><br/>But as they came in close to the home, it became obvious that something was off. There was a calm emptiness to the air and no out shouted to protest as the door exploded open with a forceful kick from Vasiliy. The air inside smelled of mildew and age, with a smokey bite from wood-smoke.<br/><br/>“Hello?” Vasiliy called out in Russian, his handgun held out as he stepped carefully through the middle of the dirty living-room. Faded and sagging couches flanked either side of a long graying tea-table where rested a few crinkled books and forgotten magazines. Dusty bookshelves and end-tables sat littered and choked with wooden decorations, old lanterns, and torn pieces of note-paper. The floor was littered with the same chaos, a stormy gestalt of refuse unswept.<br/><br/>Ullanhu pulled the president over to the side where there sat a cast-iron wood stove, the source of his smoke, tucked between two fading milky windows. Holding his hand above the surface of the blackened iron he felt the heat radiating from it. It was still warm, someone was just here.<br/><br/>“We might not be alone.” Ullanhu cautioned quietly as he looked about. He held the president's shoulders like a human shield and crept along the edges of the room as Vasiliy checked the corners. Belyakov grunted in mild distaste and disapproval as he was man-handled about between Ullanhu and the greater world.<br/><br/>Vasiliy disappeared around the corner into a hallway, passed black and white photos of a smiling man and his family, seated atop a horse-drawn wagon. There was a tense moment of no reply from the Russian, until he called out. “I think I found our home's owner.”<br/><br/>“Really?” Ullanhu called back.<br/><br/>“Yeah, come meet him.” Vasiliy invited in Russian.<br/><br/>Ullanhu felt his gut twist as he obliged, following his path down a short hallway. There at the end in the living room the corpse of an old man lay half in bed. His head lay tilted to the side with an expression of frozen shock. A bullet hole and tore clear through the temples of his forehead, painting the far wall in a thin veneer of blood and brain.<br/><br/>“Oh great...” Ullanhu muttered.<br/><br/>Kneeling besides the corpse, Vasiliy reached out with a hand and brushed against his forehead. “His corpse is still a little warm, he must have been killed earlier this morning.” he observed, in plain Russian. He played with his hands, feeling the stiffness in his joints, “Rigor mortis hasn't even set in yet.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu held on tight to Belyakov as he silently struggled to try and get away, but no avail. “So what are we doing?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>“No use now in asking, ya? I suppose we'll wrap him up in sheets, drag him out back. I check out his car.”<br/><br/>“You check out his car?”<br/><br/>Vasiliy nodded, “Of course.” seeing the pale look of shock in Ullanhu's face he rose his hands defensively, “I'm sorry, someone has to do it. I don't know how long either of us will be sitting here.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu groaned, “Fuck. Fine, I guess I'll have to.” he looked down at the body half splayed against the bed. Something caught his eye, and he looked over.<br/><br/>“What's that?” he asked, nodding towards what he saw on the ground. He held Belyakov tighter as if he had any chance of escaping, or any sound way of getting far with his head still bagged.<br/><br/>Vasiliy looked over and stepped towards what his partner in crime and pointed out. Leaning over he picked up from off the ground a worn double-barreled shotgun. Holding it up he presented it to him, “Looks like the old man was trying to fight someone.” setting it on the bed he added, “As soon as you're done with him, I'd check things out around here. I'm sure you can find some shells for it, might be useful later.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Yekaterinburg</div><br/>There was an unsettling feeling of familiarity again driving a tank. It was a numb rote thing, he wasn't piloting it out to a drill or the firing ranges. Knowing well ahead was its purpose and that his break from it had ended weighed in heavily on Tsung. But he commanded himself like a robot, even as the thought hung over him. He wanted to say he had already seen enough, and he wanted to go home.<br/><br/>But he kept going ahead, cold and numb.<br/><br/>“Song Sun is checking at a Lake Sartash inside the eastern part of Yekaterinburg, hardly in the city itself but in its limits according to locals.” sergeant Wo reported from the protection of the turret.<br/><br/>The entire tanks smelled and felt new under Tsung's hands. The windows he were given were for once clear and crystal and he saw the road ahead with the clearest detail he had even seen. He could actually see Russia while on the move, and not the milky faded image of the landscape he had in the old tank. The smell of fresh oil, protective grease and wax hung heavy in the cockpit air. The entire interior glowed with a fresh untarnished coat of dark green paint. It was impossible for him to believe something this fresh and clean can be employed to military use.<br/><br/>Then again, it was bound to loose the luster very soon.<br/><br/>“It appears our division was broken into three separate units. Song is in the central unit.”<br/><br/>“Do you know what command wants us to do?” Hui asked Wo.<br/><br/>“No I do not.” Wo responded with a dismissive shrug, “But so far I'd say the rest of the army has done a good job locking the city down, the road is clear and quiet for as far as I can see.”<br/><br/>“Good to know.” Tsung mumbled to himself. No one would have heard him over the thunderous noise of the engine.<br/><br/>Soldiers along the side of the road passed them by as the treads thumbed across a checkpoint. The difference was like night and day as the landscape opened up with military activity. Even through the thick steel hull the thunder of canon boomed as sporadic fire was thrown at the besieged city. The Chinese asserting and proclaiming their dominance of the country-side around the Republican capital.<br/><br/>_____________<br/><br/>White dust filled the air as the tank wound along a narrow hairline road at the lip of a crater in the middle of the forest. Still holding in its trap the abandoned claws of hydraulic shovels, train-car sized dump trucks, and implements of digging lay a deep chasm that opened outside Tsung's window, large enough to swallow a sports stadium. Passing vehicles kept stirred in the air a thick haze of chalky dust and sand. At each wind gust more blossomed up into the warm summer, thrown free from loose piles that ran the embankment's edge. Beyond heavy green and brown sheets a low wall of wound razor wire poked out in thick twisted bends from the underbrush.<br/><br/>“What a fucking nightmare.” Wo grumbled from the turret as he looked around. Shuttering in his seat, Tsung grappled with finding the edge of the narrow switchback they drove along as they dove deeper into the white pit. Fearful glimpses out the window were without benefit, it was narrow enough he could find no edge from the driver's seat. Just the pit itself.<br/><br/>Wo was in his own world as he looked out the turret's canopy, cringing at the sights. Tsung was slowly melting in failing courage.<br/><br/>With a soft thumb the cabin leveled out as they hit even ground and merged into the twisting awkwardness of navigating the shielded and covered depots, fuel and ammo dumps. Men on their way out crowded a chaotic network of informal roads and paths that cut between the dumps, depots and the piles of white coarse dirt and briny green pools of water. Their presence wasn't warmly received, or consciously received as they tried to move through the business of the day and the impatience of returning patrols. In the controlled anarchy, the improvised base resembled much more the madness of mid-day Shanghai or Hong Kong than an army mission.<br/><br/>Wo found them a guide, and they followed a tired looking private as they made their way slowly the maze. At the far end of the pit they pulled up into the motor pool. In wait banks and rows of armored cars and tanks lay out in their wide-rows, empty spaces spoke of the men out on patrol. Atop the turret of an idle tank sat a smoking an officer slouched over his knees as he watched the factory new Tei Gui crawl passed him.<br/><br/>There was a shout and the rifleman stopped, Tsung pulled the break and came to an abrupt stop. The hull popped and banged as someone climbed aboard and atop the turret. With a loud whine the top hatch was thrown open.<br/><br/>“Comrade Wo.” Sun Song shouted into the cabin.<br/><br/>“Sun Song.” Wo acknowledged, “Can I get my crew back?”<br/><br/>“Only if I get mine.” Song replied. Leaning back in his seat Tsung watched as Wo pulled himself out of his commanding perch and Song threw himself back in.<br/><br/>“The chair's comfortable by the way.” said Wo.<br/><br/>“Looks new too, I can get used to it.” Song smiled as he looked over the interior of the hull.<br/><br/>The commanding officer's face was thick in dust and dirt. But through the mask his brown eyes glowed with glee as he re-assumed his real command in a new seat. “What's going on here?” Tsung heard Wo ask from outside.<br/><br/>“Horse shit, I'll tell you what.” Song scoffed, “Huang's under the impression that everything will be safe from Russian artillery at the bottom of this quarry. I'm just waiting on some saboteurs to lob a grenade into it. That'll do us in as much as someone getting in an accident!”<br/><br/>“I can tell rolling in.”<br/><br/>“Anyone can see it, I complained to him but he made his mind up. At least he put the camp at the top, but most of us will still have to run down into it if we're attacked. I don't like it.<br/><br/>“I'll give you a full briefing later.”<br/><br/>“Right you will.” Wo said, clapping his hands on the hatch. Tsung heard his foot falls against the hull as he disembarked.<br/><br/>“Welcome comrades to Shartash camp, eastern forward operating position.” Song shouted over the motor as he closed the hatch, sealing them in, “We have our own designated spot at the back, let's go.”<br/><br/>And with that, Tsung was back in the thick.<br/><br/>___________<br/><br/>“I wouldn't be taking too many showers, or well: don't expect to ever be clean.” Song explained as he lead his crew up the embankment of the pit. “If it doesn't rain then vehicle traffic in and out will kick up clouds of silt and dirt. It's not a desert wind, but even if you're not down there a good westerly breeze will blow it back to you. Getting dirty will be a major circumstance for all of us, and there's no point in trying to keep up on it, even if the option is open.”<br/><br/>“Song, what's the taste in the air though?” Tse Lin asked from far behind. She lapped her tongue against her lips, which were already turning a faded white.<br/><br/>Tsung could taste it too. A lingering salty taste that came and went, mixed with other fumes.<br/><br/>“Rock-salt.” Song grumbled, “Huang fucking ordered us to park in the middle of a salt-mine.” he spat in annoyance. “So keep your water canteens sealed when heading down into the pit, catch yourself in a cloud and you'll be drinking salt-water. And keep it brushed and rinsed off if you can so your skin doesn't dry.<br/><br/>“I know I said to not shower, but at least keep it rinsed off. Or your knuckles will be bleeding like the motor-pool crews.”<br/><br/>“Fascinating.” Hui answered sarcastically.<br/><br/>“Oh it is.” Song mumbled.<br/><br/>Breaching the top of the embankment Song pointed them around, “About two-kilometers to the west are enemy positions.” he said, throwing a hand out to the city. A dense wall of trees beyond the tents and barbed-wire fencing obscured from vision the shelled and chewed apart wasteland of bombings and combat. But as the trees moved the branches distant glimpses of mangled and bent water-towers and industrial super-structures shown through the cover. “For about the first week we shacked up in this position we bore the brunt of mortar shelling five times a day. It was then really just a trench-line the infantry cowered in and we held out in the woods behind us performing patrols or rushing in from the north and south to drive away assaults.<br/><br/>“Most of that has quieted down now, beyond there we got snipers as the problem. If we ever get asked to run a patrol there we will not be opening any hatch under any circumstance. Understood?”<br/><br/>The crew nodded tacitly and Song continued, “Main camp is on the west-side of the pit.” his voice was drool and depressed as he looked over the green tents flapping in the soft summer breeze, the dark colors faded by a fine dusting of ground dust. “Command is on the north-side, but we'll have here our showers, mess hall, cots, and radio mast broadcasting two stations: front-line music and vital communications.<br/><br/>“It's all laid out in squares, so it'll be easy to get around it all.” he finished dismissively.<br/><br/>“When do we go out?” Hui asked. It was the question Tsung was dreading to here, but expecting all the same.<br/><br/>“Tomorrow is what I hear.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Ethiopia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Addis Ababa</div><br/><br/>“I will not accept 3,000, I will only accept 7,000.” the old man argued as he sat on a stump in his front yard.<br/><br/>Far from the main city itself, Sen Zhao and her cohorts were starkly foreign for the outskirts of Addis Ababa. The roads here were no less paved as they were grated gravel and rock and where leafy foliage grew hugging the mud walls of the old man's hut. Like the bushes, and the long leaves and yellow fruits of a nearby apple tree, the sheet metal roof glimmered with a fresh downpour of rain. Not ten minutes before they arrived a fierce summer storm had washed over and drenched the landscape. And in following the simple lead of a “cheap truck for sale”, she and her men had driven through deep puddles of mud in the rust-colored roads.<br/><br/>Zhao was flustered, aghast with the stubbornness of the man she was bartering with. Up ahead dark clouds loomed closer, threatening to dump another torrential wash of rain. For Zhao, she planned to have had the deal sealed before the summer rains again washed the outer city roads out. Her accomplices looked just as impatient as her as they held their eyes up to the sky as they puffed gently on their bitter cigarettes.<br/><br/>To make matters worse, Zhao was not used to bartering, and had never bought a car before in her life. But she knew the thirty-year old jalopy the man had on sale could not be worth 7,000 birr.<br/><br/>“Clearly the tires are flat, and what you have on their now, the... the treads are wearing out!” she pleaded, trying desperately to lower the value of the truck, or prove it is over-priced. But she struggled to find any appropriate details. The Ethiopian had refused to let any of the soldiers she brought with her to look under the hood, or even get close. Sweat beaded on her brow in her desperation, but partly for the intense humidity that fell in the valley.<br/><br/>“And?” the old man asked. He was in no better condition than the truck for a human. His face was heavy in wrinkles and baked with a mummified stiffness that had muted his expression. He held his arms crossed over an old white robe, crossing his skeletal ankles as he sat hunched atop his old stool, looking up at Zhao with cold beady eyes. “You are the great Chinese military!” he exclaimed with unrestrained sarcasm, “So what the tires are bad. You make it back to where ever you came from and you'd put big... thick... Mine resistant tires on it! Sell it back to me and four times the cost!<br/><br/>“No, 3,000 is still too low!”<br/><br/>Zhao dabbed her brow with her wrist, curling her lips as she thought. “4,000.” she offered, defeated, “I'll- I'll see about us sending you the remaining 3,000 later.” she hoped the plea would work.<br/><br/>“The Chinese military is crediting me 3,000 Birr?” the old man laughed, “Next, you will not be able to find me as you leave the country with my truck!” he cackled, “This is theft!”<br/><br/>“We are very reliable.” Zhao insisted.<br/><br/>“As a mule!” spat the old man, “I know how these promises go and no: I want it all up front. Your people will be fleeing this country soon with all the cowards of this city! Your as yellow as your skin.”<br/><br/>Zhao's insides spun at the insult. She bit her cheek and held her tongue, holding back against the man. She could hear the echoes of that priest she had abandoned off the coast of Socotra after he had insulted her. There was a temptation to smack him across the head for belittling her. She'd been to and done things he probably wouldn't understand or believe in the end. But even for all the anger she knew that'd kill the deal then and there.<br/><br/>Frustrated she turned to the men standing guard around their own army truck. “Yu, Jong, you have anything on you?” she asked in Mandarin.<br/><br/>Wen Yu, and Yuan Jong stood off to the side, arms resting on their rifles as the looked about transfixed in their boredom. Yu with his long face resembled a man who'd been starved, even at the young age of twenty was sporting a prominent receding hairline when he went out without his helmet. Jong on the other head was a short fluffy sort of man, the kind of person who hadn't quiet shed their baby fat.<br/><br/>The two shook their heads. “I only have twenty-five ren, comrade.” Jong answered.<br/><br/>“Alright...” Zhao admitted defeated, she turned bruised to their own truck. Her boots splashed across the shallow puddles as she headed to the door.<br/><br/>“5,000, my only offer.” the old man called out behind her. She stopped with her hand hovering over the cabin's door handle, the others were slowly taking up their own seats.<br/><br/>“I only have 4,000 and...” she began, paused and looked at Yu, who she realized hadn't told her how much he had. He caught her look and knew. “Thirty.” he mouthed.<br/><br/>“Fifty-five ren.” she added. She felt her skin run cold and the old man nodded.<br/><br/>“Throw in one of your rifles then.” he demanded, “I'm sure you can get another. And some magazines, I want to fight those Spanish bastards when they come for my house.”<br/><br/>“You can't be serious?” she asked.<br/><br/>“I might be, but you want my car?” the old man asked.<br/><br/>Jumping from the step she grumbled to herself. “Fine, alright.” she answered him, fishing into her pockets for the allotment that Cao had given to her for this mission. Pulling out a wad of Birr she motioned for her two cronies, “Give me your money.” she demanded in Chinese.<br/><br/>“Comrade, really?” answered Jong, clearly taken back and perhaps a bit offended.<br/><br/>“I am, you too Yu. And give me your gun and magazines. You won't need them, you're driving.”<br/><br/>“Wait, what?” Yu stammered from the driver's wheel, “Zhao, are you really sure.”<br/><br/>“Shut up, it's an order. Both of you: now.” she sneered.<br/><br/>Grumbling in protest, the two fronted their part of the deal and the exchange with the elderly Ethiopian was made. With a wide smile he rose from his seat. “Pleasure doing business.” he said, picking up his stool, “Let me get the keys.” he mumbled as he hobbled to his shanty.<br/><br/>“Zhao...” Jong started.<br/><br/>“I don't want to hear it.” Zhao cut him off.<br/><br/>“How am I going to get a new gun? Fuck, you know how much paper I'm going to get slapped with when this is through!?” Yu protested. “Both of us, fuck. That was our allowances!”<br/><br/>“Military business. Had to be forfeit. For the gun: you lost it. I'll talk to the quartermaster.”<br/><br/>“Damn right you will.” protested Yu. His shallow high cheeks burned with a furious red as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, “At least you didn't confiscate my cigarettes.” he grumbled as he fished out his lighter.<br/><br/>“Alright, Mrs. Comrade...” the Ethiopian man said as he came back out, holding a single pair of battered, tarnished keys on a wire-thin ring, “Here is your end of the bargain.” he offered, handing them over.<br/><br/>“Thank you.” Zhao bowed, taking them. But not without bitterness, “You have a good day, and stay safe.”<br/><br/>“That I shall.” the man smiled. With a nod he stepped aside as Zhao pulled the doors opened. They groaned on their hinges and the entire cabin sagged and bobbed uncomfortably as she hoisted herself up.<br/><br/>“You two lead the way in,” she shouted to her two soldiers. She felt confident until she looked over the mess of a cabin, noticing the lack of a steering wheel, it having been replaced completely by a wrench tapped to the column, and the shift lever a knob-less spear that jutted out from the floor. “... I'll try to follow.” she groaned.<br/><br/>________________<br/><br/>The clouds opened up again not a minute before they had arrived to the airport. As the first drops landed against the windshield Zhao discovered in horror that the windshield whippers did not work. As the raindrops turned from pins to melons she found herself leaning as far forward as possible, paying as close attention to the tail-lights of the truck ahead of her as the world rippled in distorting waves through a waterlogged windshield.<br/><br/>The vehicle itself ran with more clatter and bang than a low steady rumble that she had gotten used to. The motion and wobble of the cabin threw the long shifter in uncoordinated arcs that slashed the air like a sword. At each arc the engine coughed and heaved unhealthily until Zhao had tried to hold it steady as it popped and reared into the airport. Pulling up into a dry hanger, the truck finally gave away and fell silent, stalling then and there.<br/><br/>Frustrated in her clear defeat Zhao turned the keys and tossed them into the far window with a agonizing scream. If this thing couldn't be made any less worse, then the mission north would be impossible by far.<br/><br/>Outside the attachment of mechanics that had come with Cao looked across the empty hanger towards the mangled zombie that Zhao had brought to them, exchanging curious and horrified glances at each other other their lunch table. Throwing open the door Zhao stepped out as the senior mechanic sat up and walked to her.<br/><br/>“Good afternoon, comrade.” he saluted. He smiled as his eyes glowed behind a pair of large classes, he ate up the rolling joke of a vehicle behind Zhao taking it all in.<br/><br/>“Whatever.” Zhao grumbled, stuffing her hands deep into her pockets. One would hope with the hanger doors open and the rain coming down the humidity would have settled, but it still hung as heavy as earlier. “I need you to look over this... whatever it is.” she said, waving at the truck, “I'll need it ready to go north.”<br/><br/>“Why can't you take one of our trucks again?” the mechanic asked as he walked to the jalopy.<br/><br/>“Cao wants it for when we have to work on evacuating Addis.” Zhao explained once again, “He's not giving me a lot of shit to work with. Just a couple jokers.” she said, looking to a far corner where Yu and Jong stood whispering to each other.<br/><br/>“Well, whatever Cao says.” said the mechanic as he opened the hood of the truck. The hinges groaned as it was hoisted up with the soldier's brow, “Shit, where the fuck did you get this?” he exclaimed.<br/><br/>“Why? What's wrong?” Zhao asked, rushing over.<br/><br/>“Looks like you got a colony of rats who made a home in here.” he laughed, nodding to the twisted piles of grass and sticks that clogged every open space in the engine, “I'd hate to see what's going on inside.”<br/><br/>“You can fix it though, right?” she asked.<br/><br/>“I might not have the parts,” he laughed, “But I sure as hell can clean it. I'll do what I can and make it road worthy.<br/><br/>“Or at least by half standards. I don't know what you're driving into.”<br/><br/>“Mountains, I think.”<br/><br/>The mechanic nodded and tapped his fingers across the metal. “Of course.” he mumbled, “I'll see what kind of hack-job I can do over the rest of the day.”<br/><br/>“Thanks.”<br/><br/>“Don't mention it.” the mechanic said. He rose a hand and called his men up from lunch, “I'll start now.”<br/><br/>“That'll be great to know.”<br/><br/>“There's on thing I should tell you to,” the mechanic added before Zhao could turn away and head into the rain, “Cao sent a man down here. I guess he was anticipating you'd be here. But he was sending a message some kid from the college was down asking for updates. I assume he's the reason you're going north?”<br/><br/>“It is, he wants to fetch his family and needs help.”<br/><br/>“A noble cause, but I told him to come around tomorrow. Maybe you can take him. As a guide.”<br/><br/>Zhao nodded. “A guide, right.” she wasn't entirely happy with the idea.</div>"

Brewer came in and saw President Norman and Vice President Reed in each other's faces, shouting and yelling as a pair of secret service agent tried to get between them. Even though Norman was at least four inches taller than Reed, the smaller man had both hands firmly on the president's lapel and pushing him downward until they were both face to face.<br/><br/>""He cut your balls off,"" Reed shouted over the din. ""You made a deal with the goddamn devil, Norman! Do you know what you've done!""<br/><br/>Brewer put himself into the middle and, with the help of the two secret service agents, got the two men apart.<br/><br/>""The fuck is going on?"" He finally asked.<br/><br/>""You two sandbagging sons of bitches are the problem,"" Reed shouted at Norman and Jeff. ""You cut a deal with Wilbur Helms on Civil Rights and now everyone on Capitol Hill is laughing at the White House for giving in. That old fucker came into this office and clipped your balls!""<br/><br/>""I made a compromise,"" Norman said from behind the Resolute desk. ""I have other legislation I want to see passed, Mr. Vice President, and I can't do that when the Senate is filibustering every bill that goes through Congress."" Norman pointed a finger at Reed. ""And you will address me by my title, especially in this office.""<br/><br/>""Negroes are getting beaten and killed. A family died two weeks ago, little children were burned alive! And you have the gall to talk to me about being pragmatic. You are a sandbagging son of a bitch, <span class=""bb-i"">Mr. President</span>.""<br/><br/>""Do you want to know the deal I cut?"" Norman asked, ignoring Reed's insult. Jeff knew the president was the better man and he would let it go, to a point. <br/><br/>""You'll be hands off on any civil rights bills,"" said Reed. ""Right?""<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">I</span> will be hands off,"" Norman said with a twinkle in his eyes. ""I will not interfere or be vocal about any civil rights legislation. My exact wording to Helms. I never said anything about you.""<br/><br/>Jeff saw a change come over Reed. He straightened up from his hunched shoulders, his snarl seemed to disappear. And the anger melted away. Jeff could see that his mind was turning over the possibilities. Jeff could almost hear the gears turning in his head. <br/><br/>""You want to be a big part of his administration, Rusell?"" the president asked with a raised eyebrow. ""This is your chance. You were an excellent vote counter and whipper. The Black Caucus are supposed to be working on a civil rights bill. Help them get it through the House, and especially the Senate, and you will get all the credit for it. I promise.""<br/><br/>""Mr. President..."" It was an odd thing for Jeff to hear the tone Reed now took. It was soft and reverent, so unlike the loud and demanding man Jeff knew the vice president to be. ""I will do everything in my power to see it accomplished.""<br/><br/>""Mr. President,"" the speaker on his desk buzzed. ""CIA is on the line. It's urgent.""<br/><br/>""I'll let you get to it,"" Reed said with a smile. He shook hands with the president. ""Thank you, sir.""<br/><br/>""Get to work,"" Norman said with a nod and a smile.<br/><br/>Just like that, Reed was gone from the Oval Office.<br/><br/>""There,"" Norman said to Jeff. ""That should keep him out or hair.""<br/><br/>""What if he gets it to pass?""<br/><br/>""He won't,"" Norman said as he sat down at the desk and started for the phone. ""I'll make sure of it if I need to. If anyone is going to see that congress passes civil rights legislation, it's going to be me or no one at all.""<br/><br/>Norman picked up the red phone and listened for a moment.<br/><br/>""What? When?""<br/><br/>----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Galveston, Texas</span><br/><br/>The dance floor of the nightclub moved and shook, filled to capacity with young, black men and women dancing to the band onstage. Front and center was a young black man with an electric guitar, dancing as he played a loud and fast-paced riff. Behind him, a drummer, bass player, and two horn players tried to keep up. The words 'T-Bone &amp; The Bone Patrol' were stenciled on the drumkit. T-Bone slung his guitar behind his back and grabbed the microphone in front of him. The crowd cheered and the band went into a holding pattern as he half-sung and spoke the verse.<br/><br/>""Man, I came home the other night and all my shit was out in the front yard. I said there couldn't be one thing going wrong, that crazy ass girl of mine. Let me go over here and see what's wrong with her this time.""<br/><br/>From the back of the club, Sam Telford chuckled and blew cigarette smoke out his mouth.<br/><br/>""Went up in the house and she's sitting looking all crazy I said 'What's wrong baby?' She said 'You don't love me.' I said 'You know I love you.' She said 'No you don't. You stay out all night with yo friends, drinking and carrying on and you don't even think to call and let me know where you at' I said,'Well hold on a minute baby. Let me tell you one more time and maybe you'll believe me', so I told her something like this:""<br/><br/>T-Bone whipped the guitar back around and started playing a furious riff that sounded to Sam like a mix of the old blues standards and what they called rock and roll, but the rock and roll he had heard wasn't this fast or this aggressive. He kept his face close to the mic as he howled the chorus.<br/><br/>""I said I love you baby until the day that I die! I Spell it L-O-V-E. C'mon girl why you do this? You know I love, I love you, I love you! You know I tell you!""<br/><br/>In a flash, the guitar was back around T-Bone's back and he was clinging to the mic as he spoke again. Sweat was pouring off his face as he spoke again.<br/><br/>""I said c'mon baby let me back in the house. You know I love you. She said 'You don't even buy me presents'<br/>'Yeah, I did. I bought you a box of chicken but I ate it on the way home.' She said, 'You don't even know my name!' 'Yeah it's Melissa.' She said 'No dumbass, it's Roxanne. Spell it out for me' Damn, man. Hold on. So I had to tell her something like this:""<br/> <br/>This time, T-Bone danced to the beat in a strange duck-hop as he went into a guitar solo. He ran from one side of the stage to the other as the crowd went wild. He returned back to the mic, throwing his head back and slinging sweat across the stage, to belt out the chorus. <br/><br/>""I spell it R-O-X-A-N-N baby! Her name is Roxanne and she's rocking my world. You know I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, and so I tell her!""<br/><br/>From the back of the club, Sam got the attention of the bartender and passed him a note and his business card. T-Bone Harris was a name he had heard for years now, but he'd never had the pleasure to see him in person. Now that he had, Sam knew what all the fuss was about. The Bone Patrol was average at best, but T-Bone was the real star. He was raw and gritty, but the sound he had was something Sam had never heard before. He knew that with T-Bone, he could make something the world had never heard before. <br/><br/>""I thought we was going to make some love but I heard a knock at the door... I was like, 'G-God damn. Who is it man?"" White man said, 'I apologize for knocking so hard. This is Dallas PD, we're looking for T-Bone Harris.' I said 'Hold on. He's in the back. Let me go get him for you.' So I went to the back of the house, man my woman's sitting there and says 'Where you going?' I said 'I gots to go!'""<br/><br/>A large smile broke out on Sam's face as the band went into the home stretch of the song. Sam was almost a hundred percent certain he'd found another star for the Champion Records Pantheon. <br/><br/>""I started running! I started running from that white man. He gonna take me away for the whole century!""<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brooklyn</span><br/><br/>Anthony Fortunato didn't make eye contact with Johnny Legarrio for a solid five minutes. The old man ate his cannolis in silence while Johnny looked on with a growing sense of unease. Armed men flanked both sides of Johnny and Fortunato. Johnny was not here under his own free will. Fortunato had ordered the meeting with Johnny after news of the fiasco in Chicago started to flow through the underworld. That heist gone wrong ended in three deaths, one of them a CPD lieutenant killed by Johnny's own hands. <br/><br/>Fortunato ate his dessert in silence while Johnny looked on. They sat at a table on the back patio of Fortunato's impressive mansion home. The two bodyguards watched the scene impassively, their guns never far away. Johnny wanted to say something, but he knew better. The diminutive little man with the big glasses was not someone you interrupted. The organization Johnny worked for -- some called it the Mob, the Mafia, La Cosa Nostra, even The Outfit -- was a Byzantine tangle of alliances, families, and rivalries. But one man always stood above it all as the clear leader of the syndicate. This man,<span class=""bb-i"">capo di tutt'i capi</span> or boss of bosses, was calmly finishing his cannoli and kept Johnny waiting. <br/><br/>When it came to power, Anthony Fortunato was quite unlike anyone Johnny had ever met from the Life. Most guys, from mid-level mobsters all the way up to guys like Bobby C., always wore their power on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They had to remind you how rich they were or how influential they were. Fortunato had none of that. The man radiated power, it enveloped him like a sheet. He controlled a shadow economy with a GDP the size moderately sized European country. At his command was an army of wiseguys and button men who could take care of any problem or person within reason. People thought President Norman had power? This man, this short and skinny old man with big glasses, had real power.<br/><br/>""Have you ever been to New York, John?""<br/><br/>Johnny almost jumped when Fortunato finally spoke. His voice was soft but thick and deep. He adjusted his glasses and looked at Johnny with his eyelids half closed. <br/><br/>""I lived here briefly,"" Johnny replied. ""Couple of years after my father died I moved here.""<br/><br/>Fortunato lit up some foul smelling Turkish cigarette. Johnny figured that was the cause of the man's smoky voice. The old man turned his gaze towards the view on the back patio. They had a perfect view of Manhattan from across the river. <br/><br/>""I came here as a baby in 1902."" He pointed a wrinkled finger to some spot Johnny couldn't make out. ""There. I grew up there, Little Italy they called it. It was a sovereign country on American soil, a neighborhood that was home. I didn't leave Little Italy until I was sixteen and I barely knew how to speak English. It was a place where people took care of each other. But then, the Italians moved out and the Chinks moved in and it went to shit.""<br/><br/>""Way of the world,"" Johnny said with a shrug. ""Dagos get good jobs and flee to Brooklyn so Chinese move in. They'll get good jobs and go somewhere else and some other group of people move in. Before it was the Italians it was the Irish. It goes around and around and around.""<br/><br/>Fortunato chuckled. ""How old are you, Johnny?""<br/><br/>""Thirty-one.""<br/><br/>""Fight in the war?"" Fortunato asked with raised eyebrows.<br/><br/>""I wouldn't call what I did fighting,"" he said with a tight jaw. ""It was something worse.""<br/><br/>""War...,"" the little boss said before nodding. ""War has put our rackets in an awkward position, Johnny. Before, we had connections in Europe that would smuggle across the ocean things that we needed, products and services. In return we would send them money an other various items. But our pipeline across the Atlantic has become perilous do to the war in Africa. So we have adapted. Now our friends in Europe have become our friends in Russia and now we use the Pacific. The only problem with that is that we have no adequate distribution in the West, but we are working on it.""<br/><br/>Fortunato beckoned one of the men over and whispered in his ear. The man nodded and darted inside the house. Johnny watched him leave before turning back to Fortunato.<br/><br/>""You know Frenchie Gallo, my guy out in Arizona?""<br/><br/>Johnny shrugged. ""I know of him, but I don't know him personally.""<br/><br/>""Frenchie is setting up new territory in the Southwest. Sun City will serve as the base for that territory, but he has pressing responsibilities. Things that he can't take up himself since he needs to stay legitimate for gaming and liquor licenses. I want you to go out there and establish and strengthen our criminal rackets through the South and Midwest.""<br/><br/>Johnny shifted in his chair. He was expecting many things when he'd been summoned to New York for this meeting. But this? This wasn't one of them. Up until the summons, he wasn't aware Don Fortunato even knew he existed.<br/><br/>""Why me? You got hundreds of made guys here in New York you know better and probably trust more.""<br/><br/>""Let me answer your question with a question. The unfortunate mess you encountered after that bank robbery. Do you think this police lieutenant you killed was acting alone? Or did he have an accomplice?""<br/><br/>The old man's eyes didn't move an inch as he looked at Johnny. He could see through the younger man as if he were made of glass. Of course Johnny had harbored those suspicions since Bukowski had joined the crew. No, joined wasn't the right word. Jammed into the crew on Bobby C's insistence. And the one guy Bobby had demanded be on the job was the one who betrayed them? The one who tried to kill Johnny and take the money?<br/><br/>""What do you think?"" Johnny finally answered.<br/><br/>Fortunato's face broke out into a soft smile.<br/><br/>""I hate Bobby as much as you do, Johnny. He is a pig who has no sense of restraint or mercy. He is not a gentleman, but an animal. But as of right now he is untouchable, even for a man like me. He has powerful friends and allies in the Syndicate and the political reality of the situation is a tricky one. One day, it will not be so tricky and there will be a simple solution to our problem. Chicago is not safe for you, even if Bobby C. were not your enemy. You still killed a police officer. I am told you are a smart man and a good earner. You are a good ally for me to have. I do not want to lose you, and if you do a good job in Sun City you may get the chance to return home and take care of our mutual enemy. Anybody in our organization can be clipped for the right amount of money.""<br/><br/>Johnny reached out and took the Don's right hand into both of his.<br/><br/>""Thank you.""<br/><br/>""If you want to thank me,"" he said softly. ""Make me lots of money. And get some sun while you're in Arizona, you're too pale!""</div>"

They crossed the river on a seasoned old row-boat. Uliana, still dressed in fatigues and a military jacket, packed the bottom of the boat with bags of what Sahle figured were guns and equipment for gun care - things he knew next to nothing about. At first, both of them rowed, but when it became clear to them that Sahle's rowing was counterproductive, Uliana threatened him with a shave if he didn't stop and leave it to her. Watching her work and with nothing to do himself, Sahle felt fidgety. He looked this way and that, trying to keep himself momentarily entertained. The water was calm. Sahle stared across it, at the scrappy city behind them, and the long wooded island they were rowing toward.<br/><br/>The entry of Sorokin's party into Volgograd hadn't been a royal procession. Sahle thought theirs would be the only armed convoy, but he found the city filled with mercenaries and soldiers. It was an unremarkable town, and from the river it appeared to be stretched out thin on the east bank of the Volga like a dusting of flour clinging to the edge of a board. Pitifully aged buildings lined the decayed streets, and some structures wore the signs of battle. There were walls riddled with bullet wounds, and places where the corners of buildings had been blasted to look like blocks of swiss cheese. Uliana had found him waiting at his room, staring out at the soldiers and cossacks loitering in the square, when she invited him across the river to practice his shooting. Now they bobbed in the middle of the great river, so wide it was like a lake, and Sahle tried to think of something to say to the intimidating woman.<br/><br/>""Colonel Sorokin told me the secret."" he broke the silence.<br/><br/>She raised an eyebrow. ""He told me you know. But don't go telling everybody you meet.""<br/><br/>""Of course not. But he said her majesty's personal guard were aware.""<br/><br/>""Her majesty even?"" she said in a teasing draw, ""You are an Emperor too, are you not?""<br/><br/>""Used to be."" he noticed how the process of rowing a boat had made her thick shoulders seem manly and unappealing. He liked her, but what for? In the past, attraction had always been a physical thing - see a beautiful body and imagine the things you could do with it. But this was different. <br/><br/>""Shouldn't two monarchs be on a first name basis, since you are both equals? And Regina has become comfortable with people calling her by her first name. It would be strange if everyone called Sorokin's daughter <span class=""bb-i"">your majesty</span>.""<br/><br/>""I'll call her Regi then. Would that be casual enough?""<br/><br/>She chuckled. ""I wouldn't do that if I were you. She wouldn't mind, but if the Colonel heard, he might think twice about his monarch collection.""<br/><br/>""You sound so disinterested."" Sahle smirked. ""I would have thought serving a savior Queen would inspire a warrior woman like yourself. Seems like something from a fairy tale.""<br/><br/>""I've never seen a fairy tale come true."" she retorted. <br/><br/>He leaned forward. The plank that served as his seat moaned as he moved. ""There is no romance in this at all for you? I've only been here a few days, and I already see the romance in this country.""<br/><br/>""Are you flirting with me?"" she gave him an incredulous smile. It was a common look for women. She was trying to look surprised, and only mildly amused, but in the liveliness of the expression he could see that she was enjoying his company.<br/><br/>""What? I'm just talking about romance."" he said.<br/><br/>She eyed him for a moment with a smiling suspicion. ""Okay."" she said. ""I remain uncertain about what Sorokin is doing, but that is my own business. I'm here because it's the best job I've found in my line of work; that's why I follow Regina. But do I believe in happy endings and the goodness of the righteous cause? Well... my grandmother told be a story about romance that maybe you should hear.""<br/><br/>Uliana cleared her throat and started her tale. It was a big river, and Sahle was glad she found a way to fill the time, so he did not interrupt. ""My grandmother said there was once an important elder in her village that had two daughters. They were both at the age when marriage becomes important to a girl. Their father had been a busy man when they were growing up, so they spent their childhoods competing for his attention. After their brother made himself a drunken disgrace to the family name, a gallant war hero from another family began to earn the respect of the village. He lamented to the priests the loss of virtue in the country, and confided with old men how he wanted to see honor restored to their people. He was not only gallant, but he was a handsome man. The girls, both unwed, competed with each other for his glances. After some time he started to reciprocate their interest. He would send separate letters to each of them, filled with all the romances of a clever suitor, and more so because the man was naturally charming. The letters would be scented with flowers, and they would ask the girls to complete tasks to prove their love. A letter would ask one girl to wear a certain dress at church on Sunday, or to carve hearts into one of the big trees outside the village. And each letter would be filled with beautiful love poetry, with a request to memorize the letter and burn it so the words would remain between them. The girls did as the letters asked, swallowed up by the romance of the thing. Both girls knew it was a competition, and they would try to outdo each other in the perfection of their tasks, because each one secretly knew that they were the one girl this gallant man truly loved. They would wear increasingly expensive and beautiful dresses on Sunday, or carve increasingly elegant and artful images into the trees. As the months went by, he would task them with more. He would ask them to shape their hair into complicated braids in styles unusual to Russia, or for one girl to dance alone in the town square at midnight. And the girls kept at it, each one knowing that they would defeat the other and win the love of the gallant man.""<br/><br/>Her story paused a moment when they reached the island. Wet sand slid beneath their feet as they pushed the boat up onto the shore and into the bushes and tall grass. They walked into the forest and Uliana continued.<br/><br/>""So the girls, after doing all of that, got their final letters. Each girl was certain they were the lone recipient because this was their last task; to them, it seemed like he had already chosen. They were to collect flowers at dusk until they had a big bouquet. Then, when the sun began to set, they would meet their gallant suitor in a secret grove. But before they met him, he requested they disrobe so that he could see them like Adam first saw Eve. Now, both girls thought themselves the only one to have received the letter. They went to different meadows, and picked their flowers. And at sunset, when nobody could see them from the river, they took off their dresses and undergarments and went to meet the man of their dreams. At some point along the way, the girls crossed paths. That should have been the end of it. But the competition had peaked, and neither were willing to give up. They reasoned it a sort of Judgement of Paris, and each one held themselves as the natural choice. They imagined the excellent suffering of their sister, naked in some forest, cold, rejected and humiliated, and the spirit of the competition drove them to this end. So the sisters bickered as they walked, and stole flowers from each other. They kicked off their shoes and tossed off their jewelry and let down their hair in an effort to more correctly look the part. This had been going on for months, and now was time for the reward. One of them would be swept off their feet.""<br/><br/>There was a silence. She looked knowingly at Sahle. ""Well."" she said. ""This is the part where you ask me what happened to the sisters.""<br/><br/>""What happened to the sisters?"" he asked blankly.<br/><br/>""Well, the young man met them in the woods, and he clapped them in handcuffs. He dragged them naked to the magistrate and had them booked for prostitution. When they were questioned, they told a silly story about true love and letters they could not produce because they had been burned. The people had watched the sisters dressing and acting immodestly for months now, so the girls and their family had no recourse. Their father was shamed, and the gallant man was welcomed as a village elder in his place.""<br/><br/>Sahle frowned. ""What a horrible story."" he said. What did this mean? He had been trying to flirt with her, and she replied with this?<br/><br/>""Yes. But it is a real story, and those are more important than the romances.""<br/><br/>""Well, I'm depressed now."" Sahle pretended to pout.<br/><br/>""Then it will be fair when we start shooting, because I have a feeling your shooting skills will make me depressed too."" she smirked. ""We'll go to the center of the island to practice.""<br/><br/>The island was low and damp. Most parts rose high enough for the ground to be dry, but there were in some places swampy forests pocketed with stagnant ponds. They went into one of those forests until they were deep enough that trees surrounded them thick on either side. It was a calm place. Birds tittered in the trees, and the rays of the setting sun blushed behind the leaves. In the shade, the damp air felt chilly on his skin. The scent of soaked plant-life was strong. It seemed late to practice at firearms, but he was no expert. He watched, uncertain if he should be doing something, as she pulled two pistols from a case. She grabbed one, slammed a magazine into it, and held it up to him.<br/><br/>""You know how this works?"" she asked. <br/><br/>He nodded.<br/><br/>""Good."" she handed it to him and pointed to a nearby tree. ""Hit that loose branch, over there. Take your time, you don't need to impress me.""<br/><br/>He straightened his arms like Vasily had showed him. His arms shook anyway. He was self-conscious of everything going on beyond his shoulders - the stiffness in his muscles, the uncomfortable weight of the gun. He tried his best to aim. Inhale deep. His sweat made the trigger slick. He squeezed, and the weapon fired. The woods echoed with the sound. It is always easy to forget how painfully loud a gun is if you haven't pulled the trigger for a long time. He looked, but couldn't tell if he had hit the target.<br/><br/>""You missed."" Uliana said.<br/><br/>""How do you know?""<br/><br/>""That little branch? You aren't tossing pebbles, my lord. If you had hit it, it wouldn't still be dangling from the tree. Here, watch this."" <br/><br/>She pulled up a second pistol and aimed quickly. He watched the branch. Her first shot caused it to fall from the tree. Once it hit the ground, she shot it again and it popped into two pieces. <br/><br/>""Why did you shoot it on the ground?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""It was the only target I could think of."" she said. <br/><br/>They continued, though it never much of a contest. When they ran out of naturally occurring targets, she carved a bulls-eye into the tree and they used that. It was splintered by the time it was too dark to see. After dark, Sahle assumed they would boat back across the Volga, but she surprised him when she pulled a massive wad of canvas from her bag and pitched a tent. <br/><br/>""Are we camping?"" he looked at it. He had lived like this off and on between Cairo and Sevan, and it had left him with a strange opinion of camping. A mix of uncomfortable and happy memories made up his idea of the thing.<br/><br/>""You need to learn this life in its entirety. There will not be many hotels in your immediate future.""<br/><br/>""So we're going to sleep together then?"" he grinned back.<br/><br/>She chuckled. ""You try so much. No, not tonight. You are in training."" <br/><br/>They did exactly what she said - nothing. He was following her vibe, which said there would be no sex tonight. She slept in her fatigues, and went to sleep quickly, leaving Sahle to himself and feeling alone. He listened to the birds, and the wind in the trees. When he was younger, nature had only depressed him. Everything outside of civilization seemed inconvenient. It was something about the dirt, and how the climate was never quite comfortable, or how annoying it was to walk on uneven terrain. But he couldn't help but notice a subtle appreciation for it burgeoning in his mind. It made him feel soft, like floating on the surface of a cold pool. His nerves were releasing their burdens, one by one. He kept his eyes open and watched the branches of trees play their shadows in a cloud-filtered moonlight. When he felt ready to sleep, he closed the flap of the tent.<br/><br/>He was awoken at sunrise by the discharge of gunfire. The tent-flap was open, letting in the salmon light of dawn. In the confusion that followed such a sudden awakening, the gunshots terrified him, but when he remembered where he was, he calmed down. He cleaned the sleep out of his eyes and crawled out into the morning.<br/><br/>The air was cold with river-mist. Uliana had managed to procure green paint from somewhere, and she made a much better target. The smell of meat frying in its own juice dominated their little patch of the woods, and mixed deliciously with the vague earthy scents of the forest. <br/><br/>""Eat."" Uliana said simply. She had taken her pistol apart in the short time it took him to crawl out of the tent. He supposed she might be cleaning it, but the inner workings of the firearm were beyond Sahle's understanding. <br/><br/>""What did you cook?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""Kolbasa."" She said. Her hands moved quickly as she put the weapon back together. He took her up on the offer and ate a sausage straight from the pan. His hands covered in grease quicker than he expected, and he wiped his hands against his pants. <br/><br/>""Why the target?"" he spit the words through his food.<br/><br/>""We should get some shooting done."" she said dispassionately.<br/><br/>""Now? What time is it?"" <br/><br/>""You'll get to your meeting. Finish eating.""<br/><br/>""I think."" he started to say, pausing to finish his food. ""I can think of a few other things we could do with that time.""<br/><br/>She chuckled. ""You try.""<br/><br/>""Somebody once told me that Russian women aren't scared of a little fun."" he was in his element now.<br/><br/>She looked up and smiled at him. ""That might be true, but you're no ordinary person. The way I see it, if I wait long enough, I might be a Queen.""<br/><br/>""You'd look good in a tiara.""<br/><br/>""I'll take that as a promise."" she teased.<br/><br/>He stood up and walked to where she was. ""Ready?"" she asked. He nodded, took the gun, and weighed it in her hand.<br/><br/>""I think I might be getting used to this thing."" he said. <br/><br/>""We should make this a game then."" she looked him with an ornery smirk. ""If you are so interested in what is beneath my clothes, I'll give you a chance to find out. You shoot, I shoot, and when someone misses the target, they strip an article of clothing.""<br/><br/>""What? That's not fair."" Sahle complained.<br/><br/>""It's incentive."" she replied. ""But, if it makes you feel better, I'll take first shot."" she took the gun back from him, aimed it, and fired. The target splintered in the center. He grabbed the gun and took a shot. He missed.<br/><br/>""Take off your shoes."" she teased. He complied.<br/><br/>Perhaps it was nerves, or performance anxiety, but he completely failed all of his shots. It took no time before he found himself sitting in some cold swamp naked, with all of his clothes in a pile behind the meaty Amazon who had bested him. It wasn't until the last few shots that she pitied him and failed a few times on purpose, making herself barefoot. He felt like an idiot.<br/><br/>""The Emperor has no clothes."" she joked.<br/><br/>""Can I have them back?"" he had underestimated how cool and damp the air was, and how damp everything was, until he lost his clothes. Everywhere his naked skin touched the ground felt slimy and rotten. His scrotum retreated so quick his testicles seemed to be sharing real estate with his intestines.<br/><br/>She looked him over very quick, but it didn't take her too long to seemingly loose interest. ""In a moment. I have another thing to teach you."" she dug into her bag and pulled out a pair of binoculars. ""Here"" she said, handing them to him. He had to resist the urge to look at himself with them, since all of himself was on display now. Next she pulled out a long-barreled rifle with some kind of scope on top. When he pressed the binoculars against his face and looked at some anonymous trees, he caught her taking another peak at his nudity through the corner of his eyes. He pretended not to notice.<br/><br/>""More shooting? I don't have anything else to lose.""<br/><br/>""You are a bad shot."" she replied. ""But I want to teach you spotting.""<br/><br/>""What does that mean?""<br/><br/>""Adjust the binoculars to that tree over there."" she commanded.<br/><br/>Sahle was surprised when he saw the one she was talking about. It was twice the distance as the target they had been shooting at up to this point. But she had a scope, he supposed. And she was skilled with guns, as his balls soaking in the mud attested to. He focused on the tree and she prepared her gun.<br/><br/>The shot made him jump. It wasn't the sound of it, but how the bullet carved a massive hole into the tree. Splinters flew. <br/><br/>""Did you see that?"" she asked.<br/><br/>""You killed that tree.""<br/><br/>""Not that. What you are looking for is the trail the bullet leaves behind. It will look like the bullet has stirred the air behind it. Think of the haze you see on the road during a hot day. It will be like that, but real quick and in a line. I'll do it again. Watch.""<br/><br/>She shot. ""I think I saw it that time."" Sahle said.<br/><br/>""Watch again."" she said. They kept this up for a while. He became confident in seeing the trails. But this was a more boring practice, and the seeping ground beneath his bare ass was making him feel cold and slimy. <br/><br/>""I think we're done."" he said. ""I need to get ready for that meeting.""<br/><br/>""I suppose you should."" she said. She shoved his clothes into his lap and, after wriggling her feet in the mud for a moment, went to put her shoes on and pack up. He got dressed quickly, taking care to avoid getting his clothing dirty. The day just started to get warm when they left.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sahle was not late for his meeting. He was made to wait in front of Volgograd's Duma building. It was like so many of the world's capitol buildings - a wide, multi-storied structure with roman columns and a stately appearance. Like the rest of the city, the Duma building was scarred by the warfare that had came here after the collapse of Russia. The flag of the old Russian Empire flew from a pole on the roof - a black eagle, crowned, with wings spread across a golden background. The entrance to the building was guarded by the weathered statues of two lions. The lion on the right had lost its head, leaving remnants of its mane hanging slightly over the cracked stone. In the broken space of its neck somebody had carved a crude smiling face. Behind the lions, soldiers stood guard with rifles in hand.<br/><br/>Sahle was leaning against the lion when a tired Sorokin came out of the door of the Duma. ""Samel."" he said. ""The General has approved your audience.""<br/><br/>""Good."" Sahle replied. ""I thought you were just asking to let me into the waiting room."" He walked through the door, and followed Sorokin into the building.<br/><br/>The Duma building was decorated sparsely. There were few paintings, and no rugs or plants. In an empty corner some distance from the door, a shredded Ottoman flag hung in a glass case, beneath which were framed photographs of soldiers posing among smoking rubble. <br/><br/>""I told Rykov who you are."" Sorokin explained. ""Don't be surprised in how he greets you.""<br/><br/>They passed by an office before Sahle could answer. He knew not to speak of himself in front of strangers and give himself away. Instead, he watched them from the corner of his eye. They were all uniformed soldiers - sitting around typewriters and filing cabinets, and doing not much of anything. He passed out of their sight, but the oddness of the thing stuck with him.<br/><br/>""How many monarchs has Rykov met now? Three?""<br/><br/>""More than that."" Sorokin replied.<br/><br/>""Nice."" Sahle said, impressed. ""I don't think I've met that many.""<br/><br/>They went up a flight of stairs, and then through several halls. The offices they passed were all staffed with men, and each man was in the uniform of a ground soldier. Some were armed. The number of door and hall guards increased as they went. One at this hallway, and then the next door. When they finally reached the doorway into Rykov's office, they found it guarded by four men. At the sight of Sorokin they were let in.<br/><br/>General Rykov was sitting at a plain desk, carefully studying several maps draped over the surface. He was much older than Sahle had anticipated. His hair was ivory white, and a pair of bifocles rested on his nose. His face was that of an old soldier. His jaw was wide, and his cheeks sharp, but his skin hung like a deflated balloon from those strong bones.<br/><br/>""Your Imperial Majesty."" he looked up at Sahle and rose smoothly from his chair. His voice was calm and mild, but his eyes were different. They were the lone powerful thing about the man. Pale blue eyes, scrutinizing him as if he could see Sahle's entire life written on his shirt. <br/><br/>""General Rykov, I presume?"" Sahle said as casually as he could. <br/><br/>""What of me that is still on this earth."" The General said, imparting a polite bow. ""I want to start by extending you a kindness. Have you been told what is happening in your country?""<br/><br/>""Do you know?"" he said. His heart skipped a beat. News. No matter where he was, his old world trickled back to him in the form of horrible news.<br/><br/>Rykov softly chuckled. ""You might be surprised to find that Russia still has newspapers and radio. There are a few things you might want to know, and I would be remiss to not tell you.""<br/><br/>Sahle nodded assent and swallowed his nerves. <br/><br/>""The Spanish are assaulting a city called Dire Dawa.""<br/><br/>""Dire Dawa. Yes."" Sahle repeated dry-mouthed. It wasn't a town he liked - a dusty railroad depot full of manufacturies and merchants, but there was little else to do there. Still, he knew how close it was to Addis Ababa and his home. <br/><br/>""I believe there have been skirmishes, but that is all I know regarding the war. There is another thing.""<br/><br/>""Say it."" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>The old man eyed him for a moment. His face was calm and somber, but his eyes were telling. ""It's your sister. I could not pretend to pronounce her name...""<br/><br/>""Taytu."" he said. <br/><br/>""She is being held by the government of Tanganyika. I don't quite understand the circumstances. They are claiming that agents of your country tried to slay their Prime Minister during talks?""<br/><br/>""What?"" Sahle was baffled. He didn't really know what Yaqob had done as Emperor, but the scenario he was being told made no sense to him. <br/><br/>""It's an odd claim I know. There is certainly more under the surface, I can tell. But I thought you should know where things stand at the moment.""<br/><br/>Sahle felt something, but he did not show it. He did not want to seem weak among these men. What he felt wasn't fear, but rather guilt. He couldn't help but feel guilty. Had he really wasted his shot at the throne, just to flee and party in Sevan while his homeland and family suffered? <br/><br/>""Colonel Sorokin."" Rykov motioned. ""I want a word alone with the Emperor. Do you mind?"" Sahle did not see the Colonel leave, but he heard the door shut. It was only him and the General now. <br/><br/>""Sit, if you wish."" Rykov offered. He walked over to a window behind his desk and looked outside. Sahle found a seat in a polished wood swivel chair in the corner of the office.<br/><br/>""I can't help but say, your majesty, that your presence here feels something like an omen."" Rykov said.<br/><br/>""Of what?"" Sahle asked.<br/><br/>""I think that the world has been on the precipice of war for some time. A true war mind you, one that will touch everyone on this earth. My country has been at war for a long time now, and your country has become the stage for this international drama between China and the west to play out. And now you are here of all places.""<br/><br/>Sahle cleared his throat. ""Don't blame me.""<br/><br/>""Oh don't worry about that."" Rykov said in a kind voice. ""My country and your country are too busy for you to complicate our... eh, lack of a relationship. The only people in this land who would want you are the Chinese, and I am not interested in doing them any favors.""<br/><br/>""I appreciate that."" Sahle replied.<br/><br/>""I suppose I'm rattling now."" Rykov smiled. ""Do you have any concerns?""<br/><br/>""One I suppose."" Sahle said. ""Regina. How do you know she is who Sorokin says?""<br/><br/>""Well, think of it this way; has Sorokin done anything that suggests he is ambitious?"" Rykov asked.<br/><br/>""He comes off as nervous."" Sahle replied. ""I guess not. But he does claim his daughter is the Queen of Russia.""<br/><br/>""Him and his colleague explained that to me six years ago, and he has done nothing to further her claim since. I have urged him to go public with his claim and start the process of putting her on the throne, but he has only acted for the safety of the child.""<br/><br/>""Wouldn't that make sense if she is his daughter? Maybe he was ambitious and regrets it now.""<br/><br/>""I might have came to the same conclusion had it not been for Dr. Pukirev. The Doctor came to me with Sorokin and confirmed the story of Regina's sad birth. I knew Pukirev when he was the Tsar's family physician, and he was always an honest man. Well respected in the court. He saved the child himself, and lost the mother in the process. Before he disappeared, he was Regina's most fervent champion, though he had no place to gain power through her.""<br/><br/>""What happened to him?""<br/><br/>""I think it was Sorokin's caution that drove him to run away. If he is still alive, I suspect he is living in an alley somewhere drunk out of his wits."" there was a moment of benign silence where the General said nothing. ""Someday I would like to see that man again. He was a good one. Did his work well.""<br/><br/>""So you believe it then."" Sahle sunk. ""It's true."" He didn't say the rest of his thoughts. What happened to him? How did he trip into a circumstance like this?<br/><br/>""You will be a witness to many things if you choose to stay with us. Tonight, there will be a meeting. Sorokin and I agree you should witness this meeting as a foreign adviser; we feel you might have some insights. You won't want to speak up while the meeting is in session, because for now you will be a random nigger to the Cossacks. We will not be telling them who you are. Not yet.""<br/><br/>Sahle nodded.<br/><br/>""Good."" Rykov said. ""I have one more question for you, and it is important enough that it is the larger reason I decided to meet with you in person. Why, Emperor Sahle, are you here?""<br/><br/>The air went stale for a moment as Sahle tried to think of an answer. ""I don't know.""<br/><br/>Rykov frowned. ""That is a non answer."" he said.<br/><br/>""It's the only one I have."" Sahle answered. ""I haven't been in control of where I am for many years. I don't know if I was ever in control of where I was, actually. I just find myself in places, making the most of my time until I end up somewhere else.""<br/><br/>""You seem exasperated."" Rykov replied. ""But that is a difficult answer for me to swallow. It's not like the other Kings I have known.""<br/><br/>""I can't speak for the others."" Sahle replied. ""But that's the only answer I have.""<br/><br/>Rykov nodded. ""If you have nothing else to say, then neither do I. You are dismissed, your Majesty, if you wish to be.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>With the meeting over, Sahle walked speedily from the building and appreciated the fresh air once he was out. His identity was safe here, but he did not feel comfortable alone in a strange land, so he returned to the hotel. On his way, he passed a stand where a few homely commoners sold some sort of beer. He did not understand the word - Kvass - they used to describe it.<br/><br/>The lobby of the hotel was plain. The reception desk sat in the opening to a much smaller room, where a hapless employee watched bored soldiers drink Kvass and loiter about doing nothing. He squeezed by them into the halls, and climbed the stairs to the second story where Sorokin stored his inner circle. As he passed the guards, he passed by the Tsarina's gap-toothed teacher.<br/><br/>""Radmila."" he said. A name and a smile, that was a habit he had learned when he was young. <br/><br/>""How are you..."" she started to say, but she squinted and paused. <br/><br/>""Samel."" he saved her.<br/><br/>""Yes!"" she bubbled. ""You coming back from your meeting?""<br/><br/>""Just looking for something to eat. Do you know if they are serving lunch here?""<br/><br/>""Rykov is providing dinner to all soldiers and government in the capitol, but only dinner."" she explained. ""You could go out and buy something though.""<br/><br/>""I don't have money."" he said. <br/><br/>""Oh! I was going out to find lunch. Want to come?"" She sounded genuinely excited, and he knew the decision was already made for him. ""You don't need to be paying for me.""<br/><br/>""It's no matter. The money is Sorokin's anyway, and it's not like I pay rent."" she laughed. ""Come on. It will pass the time."" <br/><br/>""I can't argue with that."" he replied. She lead him back the way he had came, through the lingering men, and back outdoors. <br/><br/>""What did you think of General Rykov?"" she asked. <br/><br/>""He's friendly. Never met a friendly general before. It's difficult to imagine him at the head of an army.""<br/><br/>""I wouldn't have thought that."" she sounded surprised. ""I've never met him.""<br/><br/>They walked the wide street. No cars went by, so they stayed in the center. That was something he noticed about this town - the car traffic was sparse. There were a few cars, and just a few more motorbikes, but most traffic seemed to be on foot. Those walking the town were a martial-looking people. Even the unarmed civilians were stoic, dressed in dark and haggard clothing, going about their lives with a quiet urgency. The city around them was brutal and scarred.<br/><br/>""How long ago was the battle fought?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""Ah, how long ago did the Armenian war start?"" she replied. ""That's when the Turks were forced out of the city.""<br/><br/>""By Rykov?"" he knew the answer.<br/><br/>She nodded. ""They fought over the city for six years, starting after Rykov left the Ukraine. I think it would have been a nice war to read about, if I hadn't been forced to live in it. Gleb Apostol and his Cossacks capturing brigades of Turks, and then turning around and taking as many Poles in the North. Semem Hertsyk laying siege to Astrakhan. Rykov never had enough supplies or men, but he kept the Turks from getting comfortable.""<br/><br/>""I cannot imagine what it must be like to live in a warzone."" he said, trying to sound thoughtful. <br/><br/>""Weren't you in Armenia? And you were King during a civil war.""<br/><br/>""I never saw the fighting."" he said. They entered into a big, empty square. There were a few silent market booths along the edges, and an ugly two-story apartment building jutting out into the middle of it all. At the center of the empty space was a damaged equestrian statue. <br/><br/>""I didn't see any of Rykov's battles."" she said. ""The war for me was just hunger. That is what I remember, the hunger and how it touches every part of life. When everybody is hungry, nothing much else gets done. Everything starts to fall apart."" <br/><br/>Sahle said nothing. Radmila looked at him and giggled nervously. ""I'm sorry about that, I invited you to lunch and now here I am telling you sad stories.""<br/><br/>""You must still be hungry then."" he replied, half smiling. She led him to where an old man was selling flat-bread out of the back of a cart. The bread looked to him exactly like the injera they made in his homeland. It was a poignant little detail that took him back, and for a moment his entire being felt as if he was a child again, and only a hallway away from his mother. He tried to shake the feeling and focus on the present, but it clung to him and only melted away slow and unwilling. She bought two and they found a curb to sit on.<br/><br/>""What do you think of Russia so far?"" she asked after a swallow of bread.<br/><br/>""Fine place."" Sahle grinned. ""I should find an apartment and settle down.""<br/><br/>""Where are you thinking?""<br/><br/>He shrugged. ""I don't know this town. Between here and the hotel... well, I guess I know that place over there, sticking out into the plaza.""<br/><br/>""Oh no."" she said, playing horrified. ""That place is haunted. You can't go there.""<br/><br/>""You really mean that?"" his eyes stretched wide and he looked down at her, astonished. He didn't know what the superstitions of this land were, and he felt the sting of culture shock that was so common for him now.<br/><br/>""I've seen a lot of strange things in my life"" she replied timidly, and the gap between her teeth seemed cute. There was an uncomfortable pause. ""You keep talking about me. But I want to know about..."" she looked around, suddenly aware of the few people nearby them. Her voice went to a whisper. ""You. The life you were born to. That had to be amazing!""<br/><br/>""I don't think I can tell you those stories after what you have told me."" Sahle replied. ""That would be cruel.""<br/><br/>""I want to know."" she nudged him.<br/><br/>He sighed. There were only two kinds of memories from his original life; those that were uncomfortable, and those that were simply too tedious to repeat. ""I had everything a person could want, I think. Really, I don't think I knew what I wanted. It was just life. I guess you want me to describe the cakes and the royal dances?"" he looked at her.<br/><br/>""Yes. Things like those are what I was thinking of.""<br/><br/>""Cakes were good."" he said. ""There was this party, three weeks after I was crowned, where somebody had made a cake that looked like me. They had built this sculpture out of marzipan and dye. Life sized. It tasted like plaster, but it was neat to look at.""<br/><br/>""Cakes."" she looked dreamy-eyed into the distance. ""That is the sort of thing I imagined.""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>In the evening, Sahle and Vasily went with Sorokin to the conference the city was so abuzz about.<br/><br/>Sahle sat with Sorokin in General Rykov's office, posing as an assistant. Vasily sat between Sorokin and Sahle, while General Rykov occupied his own desk. There was no conversation. All geniality in this meeting had died the moment that the first of the invited leaders arrived. He was a skeleton-thin man with grey hair and deep-set eyes, and he greeted Rykov with a stiff handshake and no words. Vasily, who was pretending to take notes for the Sorokin party, passed his paper to Sahle.<br/><br/>'<span class=""bb-i"">Andrei Yaroslav. Was President of Ukraine. Surrendered to Rykov before chaos. Now Poland controls Kiev.</span>'<br/><br/>The wire-tight tension strung between Yaroslav and Rykov now had a context for Sahle, and he had nothing else to do but watch it play out. Rykov pretended not to see the Ukrainian, while Yaroslav read a book. When there was a knock on the door, the bad air seemed to leave the room. One of Rykov's guards entered.<br/><br/>""Announcing Oleg Yushchenko, Hetman of the Sochi Host."" he said. A thick man followed in. He was middle aged, clean cut, with a comfortable paunch and a ridiculous wardrobe. He wore a black velvet coat, embroidered in gold, that went down to his toes. There were loops sewn into the breast of the suit that held what looked like golden bullets intricately inlaid with silver. He also wore a tall fur hat with the Russian crest sewn into the front.<br/><br/>""Mr. Yushchenko."" Rykov greeted politely. <br/><br/>""General Rykov."" Yushchenko bowed. ""Colonel Sorokin. It is good too see the world treat my friends so fairly.""<br/><br/>""How is it in Sochi?"" Rykov made conversation.<br/><br/>""Fair."" the fancy man replied. ""The piracy problem on the black sea is starting to affect business. The Pontic Greeks are the worst offenders there. They are like Barbary pirates. If I had the material, I would go down and burn all of Pontus.""<br/><br/>Sorokin passed another note to Sahle.<br/><br/>'<span class=""bb-i"">Owns tea plantations. Never fought battle.</span>' Sahle passed it back. He didn't think he needed a note for that. This man carried himself like a self-important businessman. There was nothing soldierly about him at all.<br/><br/>""If we had a navy, perhaps we could handle the pirates."" Rykov said. Yushchenko nodded, and then turned around to greet the Ukrainian. ""President! I am happy to see you on our side.""<br/><br/>""Poland is your enemy and my enemy too."" President Yaroslav said. He folded his book over his left hand and stood up to shake with his right.<br/><br/>""Our peoples were friends once. We shall be friends again."" Yushchenko's prosaic politicking was cut short by another knock, followed by the soldier from before making an entrance.<br/><br/>""Announcing Ihor Iosifovich, Hetman of the Kuban Cossacks."" the soldier spoke, and then withdrew. A short, wiry man entered. He had the body of a horse jockey and a haggard face masked behind a bushy black mustache. His fatigues were threadbare, and the only mark of his rank were the red sash around his waist and a couple of medals hanging from his chest.<br/><br/>""Ihor, my friend."" Rykov smiled. The small intense man nodded and found a seat. ""I have brought three quarters of my host."" Ihor explained. ""The others are hunting Turks. They should stay down there.""<br/><br/>""Three quarters of the Kuban host is fine by me."" Rykov replied. Sahle watched another note slide from Vasily's side of the table.<br/><br/>'<span class=""bb-i"">Son of Koba from Georgia. Killed more men than anyone in room except me.</span>' <br/><br/>Sahle looked over at Vasily, but his eyes caught Sorokin instead. The Colonel had that uncomfortable look on his face that men sometimes get when their mistress and their wife meet at a party. It was cold sweat and a constipated countenance. Sahle lost track of the conversations in the room as they divided into two separate parties. He didn't pay attention to the gathering Cossacks until the guard entered again.<br/><br/>""Announcing Semen Hertsyk, Hetman of the Don Host."" The man that walked in looked the most up to the job of any Sahle had seen. He carried himself like a King; chin up, back straight, with a gait that never slouched or showed any hint of laziness. He had a great pepper-grey beard and the military dress uniform of a Russian Imperial officer. His eyes, which were deep-seated in his face, were small in an almost Asiatic sense. <br/><br/>""Hetman Hertsyk."" Rykov greeted. Before Sahle could catch the rest of what was being said, Vasily thrust another note across the table.<br/><br/>'<span class=""bb-i"">This one love himself. Largest host.</span>'<br/><br/>""...thank you, General Rykov."" Hertsyk was saying when Sahle turned back to them. ""I have seen Zaporozhians wandering about the city, but Apostol isn't here. I was hoping to talk with that man and get his opinions about the movement of the Ukrainian Poles.""<br/><br/>""He is on his way I am sure."" Rykov replied. The Cossacks began to talk among themselves. Sahle looked back to his side at Sorokin. He still had that constipated look. Was there something wrong with him, or was something going on that Sahle didn't understand? <br/><br/>It was ten minutes before another knock came to the door. Everybody looked up this time, all at once as if they were a herd of skittish deer. The door opened and the familiar soldier entered. <br/><br/>""Announcing Hetman Gleb Apostol of the Zaporozhian Host."" The announced man hadn't yet entered when Vasily shoved a note at Sahle.<br/><br/>'<span class=""bb-i"">Brilliant.</span>'<br/><br/>The man that entered did not look like the brilliant type. He was thick and soft-fleshed, with eyes deep set in his chubby face. His eyebrows were thick and twisted, and he sported a needle-thin waxed mustache and a sparse scraggle of fat hairs on his chin. He did not look military or dour either, but rather he entered the place like a big smiling gorilla. <br/><br/>""General Rykov."" he saluted. He whirled around and started shaking hands. ""Semen! Oleg! Ihor! Well bless my balls, it's Mr Ukraine! It's beautiful to see your face."" As they shook hands, the overwhelmed Yaroslav cracked his first smile of the day. Rykov gently closed the door and locked it just as Apostol turned on his heals and faced Sorokin.<br/><br/>""Lazar."" the big man greeted. ""You look like there are dwarfs mining your sphincter for gold. Why the face?""<br/><br/>Sorokin shifted uncomfortably in his seat. His bald spot shone with pearls of sweat. ""I am not used to the climate inland. I will be fine.""<br/><br/>""I hope you will. This is no time for a man to run a fever. Where is your daughter, the lovely girl we have come here to discuss? I would think she should attend a meeting like this.""<br/><br/>""We are talking about China in general."" Rykov reminded. <br/><br/>""China, China, China."" Apostol muttered. ""I can tell you how that will happen. If the Chinese were brilliant, they would break the Republicans in the mountains and drive hard to Nizhny Novgorod. From there they could take Yaroslav and become one with the Communes before entering a war with the Poles. But the Chinese are not brilliant, they are bureaucrats, so here is what they will do; they will fight for every town piecemeal. Every time they get the chance to crush the Republic, they will turn it down so they can fight slow.""<br/><br/>""So you don't think the war is almost over?"" Sorokin looked up.<br/><br/>""It was over a year ago. The Chinese just don't understand that quite yet.""<br/><br/>""It might be inappropriate to act now."" Sorokin said. ""That's what I think that means. If we play our hand so soon...""<br/><br/>""The Chinese don't realize it yet."" Apostol interrupted. ""But when will Makulov realize it? Or any of those Generals on the front? There is a flopsweat drenched, President sized hole in Russia now, waiting for somebody to slip in and fill it."" <br/><br/>""Then we fill it."" Hetman Iosivich slammed his fist into his chest. <br/><br/>Apostol grinned and wrapped his arm around the small mustachioed Hetman. ""We are of one mind, Ihor. I want all of you by my side when we rise into Moscow!"" Ihor Iosivich looked supremely uncomfortable, and when the opportunity came to slip out of Apostol's grip, the small Hetman took it.<br/><br/>""Moscow."" Sorokin swallowed the word. ""We are getting ahead of ourselves.""<br/><br/>General Rykov had been standing in the corner with his chin in his hands. His eyes were downcast like he was inspecting the floor for secrets. When Sorokin finished speaking, the General looked up. ""I agree with Hetman Apostol."" he said calmly. ""You have asked us to wait for a golden opportunity. This, I think, is to be our last opportunity. Certainly the last one that happens in my lifetime.""<br/><br/>""My life's work is the protection of Regina. What I am seeing in this plan is desperation. Would any of you act so quickly if it wasn't for the Asiatics coming across the Urals?"" Sorokin was passionate. More passionate than Sahle had ever seen the man. <br/><br/>""Crowning her and putting her safely on the throne is the safest thing for her."" Rykov countered. <br/><br/>The Hetman Semen Hertsyk had been nodding his agreement to what Rykov and Apostol were saying, but now he thrust himself forward to join the discussion. ""Friends, General, I solidly concur with the plan to action. No great victory can be won through a love of safety. If you look at the lives of the greats; Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Belisarius, Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Alexander Suvorov, you find that they did not meet their success through safety. Russia waits for us, Colonel. We must take it.""<br/><br/>""It is easy for you or me to say this, but we are talking about the life of a ten year old girl. A march on Moscow is patently unreasonable and irresponsible."" Sorokin was turning red. Sahle felt like a soldier under fire, and his chair was his trench.<br/><br/>Apostol grumbled nothing intelligible. He pointed at Vasily. ""You, and your nigger, talk sense into your boss.""<br/><br/>""I think that would be inappropriate to do."" Vasily shrugged. ""Since he pays us.""<br/><br/>General Rykov spoke next. ""What I think is inappropriate is that Colonel Sorokin presumes to own the monarchy.""<br/><br/>Sorokin looked hurt. ""I thought it was agreed I was to be her advocate and regent?"" he said. <br/><br/>""I agreed out of respect for what you have done in saving her and keeping her."" Rykov answered. ""But what you are doing now is an abuse of my kindness. You are still my subordinate, and the armed forces of this nation are commanded from this office. This is the last chance we will have to put the young Tsarina on her throne. I want to see the grand daughter of Peter seated in the Kremlin before I am dead. I want to die in the same Russia I was born.""<br/><br/>Sorokin sunk. ""This is it."" he muttered. All at once, the tensity in the room fled out through the pours in the wall. Sorokin seemed to melt into his chair, but the meeting continued.<br/><br/>""War it is."" Andrei Yaroslav broke the air. The Ukrainian President's voice had a nasal twang to it, not so much that it was annoying, but enough to be distinct. ""My people will fight if we get a promise that all our territory will be respected. The Ukraine is my price.""<br/><br/>""Some of that property belongs to my host."" Gleb Apostol said. Yaroslav bristled at that. ""This meeting will be a waste of my time if I do not get all of the Ukraine."" he replied.<br/><br/>""My host has done more against the Poles than your meager partisans."" Apostol puffed up as he spoke. <br/><br/>""You want to be a sovereign nation then? Sovereign Cossacks, like it is the sixteenth century again? This is not the era for what you propose.""<br/><br/>""I want to serve my Tsarina."" Apostol said proudly, slamming his clenched fist against his chest.<br/><br/>Yaroslav looked almost horrified. ""So you want some of my nation for Russia then? How much do you plan to steal?""<br/><br/>There it was, Sahle thought. All the tension Sorokin had released now had a new host in this blustering Ukrainian. <br/><br/>""I have a plan."" General Rykov pulled a map from his desk and intervened in the verbal melee. ""I propose the Zaporozhian Cossacks shall be given the Ukrainian land east of a line drawn at the east bank of the eastern-most line of the Dnieper. This line shall break from the river going north from Novomoskovs'k, and going south from Vasylivka, so that the Ukraine will still hold the Crimea and...""<br/><br/>""You steal half of my country and call it friendship?"" Yaroslav was fighting mad. His face was beat read and he spoke his words as if they were knifes he was twisting into Rykov's gut. ""That is not what will happen. All of the Ukraine or I walk away tonight.""<br/><br/>""That is unreasonable..."" Rykov complained.<br/><br/>""It is my decision."" Yaroslav stamped<br/><br/>Rykov kept calm and collected. ""I cannot concede to you in this temper."" <br/><br/>Yaroslav did not concede. He stomped out the door and slammed it shut, leaving a room full of Hetmans uncertain about their plans.<br/><br/>""We go forward."" Rykov said. ""I will try to convince the President if he is still in town tonight, but until then we go forward. I want us to execute this war as quick as we can.""<br/><br/>""There is a thousand miles between here and Moscow. The Chinese are nearly as close as we are."" the Hetman Oleg Yushchenko noted. <br/><br/>""The Polish defenses are limited to the Ukraine and the area surrounding Moscow."" Rykov retorted. ""There are Republican defenses along the Volga, but most of the Russian fighting forces are in Perm. What stands between us and Moscow is those militias. They might not be able to stand up against Cossacks, but they can slow us down until Poland or the Republic finds the resources to cut us off.""<br/><br/>""Which we cannot afford."" Sorokin muttered.<br/><br/>""There is a way you could neutralize most threats by the Republic."" Apostol spoke now. He dropped his blustering tone for a calmer one and twisted his waxed mustache as he spoke. ""We send a small number up to occupy the Samara Bend. There would only be the isthmus to the bend and the bridge at Tolyatti to defend. If the Republic were to feel safe of their control of the Volga, they would have to lay siege to this force on their island.""<br/><br/>""Surely the enemy would choose to face us in Moscow and end the rebellion at once."" Yushchenko balked.<br/><br/>""If we move quick and sporadically up the road, they won't know how large of a force we command. Send flying detachments of riders well beyond our flanks. Close enough we can close our ranks if we must, but covering a wide enough area to create the impression of a mass invasion.""<br/><br/>Rykov was inspecting closely the map on his wall, and he nodded slowly as the Hetmans spoke. Before Rykov started to speak, Sorokin interrupted and stood up.<br/><br/>""I need to retire.""<br/><br/>""From the military?"" Rykov inspected the Colonel.<br/><br/>""For the night."" Sorokin said. ""Excuse me.""<br/><br/>Vasily and Sahle stood up. It was an awkward retreat, and Sahle avoided eye contact until they were outside. Following Sorokin, they jogged through the halls. Nobody said a word. What had happened? They rushed out of the building, and Sahle found himself thinking how ridiculous it was that he missed waking up in the woods in the morning, in a foreign land, and a circumstance he understood only a smidgen more than what was happening now.</div>"

Judging by the uncomfortable foot tapping of his companion, Cristiano Pereira, he was not the only one. The old Brazilian, who's complexion only darkened with age and constant reelection, held a blank stare at the droning speech of the Deputy Prime Minister, a man of swarthy Angolan descent. Geraldo glanced at Cristiano, who met his gaze briefly and rolled his eyes. This was a vote they had already lost and everyone knew it.<br/><br/>For the past three hours, every member of the Assembly had piled into the room and loudly debated the merits and faults of the Prime Ministers proposal - a declaration of war on the Ethiopian Empire. Geraldo could only watch as his party was beaten down, again and again, by the skilled orators of the Government. Arguments and accusations flew wildly from both sides and two <span class=""bb-i"">deputados</span> had already been removed by the Speaker.<br/><br/>""The aggressive actions of the Ethiopian Empire against our closest ally and friend, Spain, should not be met with silence from the international community. As a founding member of the Iberian League, Portugal should not stand for this kind of..."" droned Mbandi, reading his speech from a sheet held close to his nose. Geraldo wondered how much he had been paid to write it. If Cristiano was to be believed, half of the men opposite were in the pocket of some Spaniard or another and judging by the bored silence from a majority of the Socialist deputados, so were they.<br/><br/>But Geraldo wasn't. That was one thing the young politician could say with pride - he was loyal to his party and his country. Cristiano, despite receiving demotions from the party leaders, continued to voice his negative opinion of Spanish influence loudly, for everyone to hear. The party leader of the socialists, a meek man by the name of Nando, had never been a match for the wit of Salvador Macedo, Prime Minister of Portugal and good friend of Spain.<br/><br/>Mbandi finished his speech justifying war, to the relief of the entire Assembly and passed on speaking rights to Macedo, who took his place. It was no wonder this man was Prime Minister. He had the good looks, the charismatic speeches and the intelligent wit to keep him power.<br/><br/>""Gentlemen"" he purred into the microphone. Immediately, the entire Assembly sat a little straighter. Macedo had the kind of voice that demanded attention. ""The decision to join our Spanish comrades in war was a hard one. No leader wants to send the young men of his country into danger. I certainly do not. But as it stands, we cannot ignore the injustices of the Ethiopian regime. Under our current foreign policy, we will not tolerate threats of sovereignty on ourselves or our allies from our own backyard. We will not tolerate the rights of men, white or coloured, to be curbed by emperors and chairmen. I will not tolerate the destruction of age-old traditions by men of no creed.""<br/><br/>He paused as the murmurs of agreement from his party, the majority <span class=""bb-i"">Partido Republicano</span>, turned to frenzied shouts.<br/><br/>""So, my fellow deputados, today I ask you, as your elected leader, to approve the declaration of war against the Ethiopian Empire. Against the men who would only wish to destroy what 800 years of tradition have built in this country. What 2000 years of history have built on this continent. I ask you to help our dearest friends and neighbours in Spain defend their sovereignty from the Empire that grows on their border. To defend-""<br/><br/>And so it went on. Geraldo could hardly hide his distaste as the Prime Minister continued, practically bragging at his un-won victory. The old Brazilian beside him sighed heavily and sank into his chair. ""Christ, I wish we could just get to the vote already"" groaned Cristiano, massaging his eyeballs with his knuckles. ""We already know how its going to go, they're just wallowing in the victory"" murmured Geraldo in reply. They'd all been told how to vote by the whip but even the combined opposition all voting against the proposed declaration would not beat the majority whip. <br/><br/>The only reason the Socialists had even turned up for the vote was to save face and look like a viable opposition but to Geraldo, it seemed like a waste of time.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Later that evening...</span><br/><br/>""God, I could use a drink"" grumbled Geraldo, assisting Cristiano down the steps of the assembly. The old Brazilian leaned heavily on a cane, his leg having been completely ruined in his youth. Cristiano looked dejected and his eyes narrowed as Nando, his party leader, hurried past, his eyes attached firmly to the ground. ""Bastardo"" spat the Brazilian when he was out of earshot. ""How treasonous of you"" replied Geraldo dryly, preparing himself for another anti-Spanish rant. The two walked out the front doors, wondering why they had even entered in the first place.<br/><br/>""Geraldo, we need to get rid of him"" said Cristiano suddenly, gasping from the effort of walking but still managing to gesture towards Nando ahead of them. Geraldo snorted. ""This isn't the favelas of Sao Paulo, Cristiano"" he replied, slowing his walk to stop.<br/><br/>The cool summer air felt refreshing after a day spent in the stuffy assembly. As deputados rushed off home through the brightly lit lawns of the Assembly, Geraldo and Cristiano sat down on a bench. ""We don't have to...y'know, 'get rid of him'. There are legal methods, my friend. Nando is not suited to the job of head of the opposition and I'm not the only one to think he needs a replacement"" replied Cristiano, pulling a hat from his jacket pocket. He examined the hat, brushing lint with his other hand, before placing it on his head.<br/><br/>""Well, you're right there"" replied Geraldo, a cigarette already in his mouth. ""If you can find someone suitable to replace him, I'll help you get him in"". The younger Lusophone frowned for a moment, as he dug into his pockets for a lighter. He grunted in frustration as he realised he'd left it at home. ""Got a light?"" he asked the Brazilian. Cristiano silently produced a lighter from his pockets and lit a cigarette of his own. Both men puffed on their cigarettes thoughtfully. <br/><br/>It hadn't yet dawned on them that they were now at war.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Jornal de Notícias, Portugal</span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">...and it is decreed, as of the 22nd of July, 1980, that the Second Portuguese Republic has declared war on the Ethiopian Empire, in defence of its ally, the Second Spanish Republic and its colonies. All Ethiopian-Portugese business is to be suspended immediately and all travel to and from the Ethiopian Empire is to be stopped. Prime Minister Macedo has declared the act of war ""a necessary act to combat the threat on Spanish Africa"" and has dismissed claims that Ethiopians in Portugal are at risk. However, Prime Minister Macedo has refused to comment on alleged claims from the opposition that the declaration was purely to appease Spanish interests and is to travel to Italy on a state visit in the coming weeks....</span> </div>"
22240,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-04-19 02:00:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Los Angeles</span><br/><br/>US Third Army headquarters buzzed with activity. Junior officers ran here and there on different tasks while a group of senior officers poured over a large map of the Pacific Northwest. In the middle of the men, watching and listening as the rest of the group made notes and comments, was General Michal Norman. The general cut an impressive figure in his olive drab uniform. Tall and with a square jaw, his grey hair contrasted nicely with the five silver stars pinned to his collar.<br/><br/>""General Norman, sir.""<br/><br/>Norman and the rest of his staff looked at a young messenger with a sheet of paper. The young soldier's hands shook. Tears streaked down his face. He walked forward and handed Norman the slip of paper.<br/><br/>""It's... Seattle, sir... it's... all gone.""<br/><br/>Norman read the sheet of paper and stared at it for a long second before raising his head. When he did look up, his eyes were fiery and his jaw was set in something resembling a snarl. He crumbled up the paper and let it fall to the floor. His staff officers looked on with concern as he stepped forward and looked down at the map on the table.<br/><br/>""Vancouver,"" he said. He looked up at his men. When he did, he had tears in his eyes. ""We're going to Vancouver, gentlemen. American lives have been lost, and those bastards have to pay. We're going to make them pay for the... the... shit."" Suddenly, Michael Norman was speaking in an upper-crust English accent. ""Bloody hell, line!""<br/><br/>""Cut!""<br/><br/>From his place on the sound studio, Elliot Shaw saw the illusion break and real life set in. Grips and cameramen sighed as director Josh Donahue walked on set to talk to Dexter Parkerberry, two-time academy award winner and the picture's Michael Norman. <span class=""bb-i"">The Battle of Vancouver</span> had just entered its second week of shooting and it was already a week behind schedule. Part of it was Parkerberry. The scandal rags would have a field day if they knew old, regal Dexter Parkerberry with his pronounced English accent and Shakespearean training was a raging heroin addict. Shaw was on set to watch Parkerberry and give him a fix in case he got the need for a shot. Today was his last day shooting. After it wrapped, Shaw had orders to drive Parkerberry to Malibu and the dry out clinic Dr. Friels ran.<br/><br/>""Okay,"" Donahue announced to the crew. ""We're running it again. Positions!""<br/><br/>The scene began back again, but Shaw half paid attention to it. He wondered why Mr. Kennedy and Summit Pictures wanted Parkerberry so bad as Norman? The man could act, but he wasn't worth the hassle in Shaw's opinion. But then again, it was a pretty small part. <span class=""bb-i"">The Battle of Vancouver</span> was an ensemble picture that followed a half-dozen storylines over the course of the fighting. It was Summit's third straight war film. <span class=""bb-i"">Sink the Andalusia!</span> had been a surprise hit two years ago, and right now <span class=""bb-i"">Thirty Seconds Over Detroit</span> was proving to be a smash hit both in America and overseas.<br/><br/>This time, Parkerberry remembered his lines and the scene progressed. Shaw worked a sore spot on his left thumb. A splinter was embedded under the skin. Said splinter came from his baseball bat. He'd wielded it two nights ago when he bashed up Roland Tomasi's car. Tomasi was a cut-rate hop pusher who was too chummy with a Summit contract girl, Dorothy Mills, and was threatening to turn the young girl into Parkerberry redux. After Shaw busted Tomasi's windows, he threatened to do the same to his skull if he ever approached, talked to, or even looked at Dorothy Mills again.<br/><br/>""Cut,"" Donahue announced. ""Fuck it, that's good enough. That's a wrap on Dexter Parkerberry and lunch.""<br/><br/>A scattering of light applause from the crew caused Parkerberry to laugh and bow. It wasn't an applause of appreciation for Parkerberry and his skill, more of an applause was relief that he was soon to be off-set and they could eat. Shaw walked towards the set and caught Parkerberry by the arm as the older man tried to quickly walk past him.<br/><br/>""C'mon, Dex, let's take a drive.""<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Shaw kept the radio off on the drive back from Malibu. Dex had put up a bit of a fight, about as much fight as a junkie twelve hours removed from his last fix could be. It was easy enough to get him in the car and to Dr. Friels' clinic. After that, the good doctor's orderlies took care of the rest. Shaw cut odds on Parkerberry actually kicking the habit. Call it a 30-1 longshot he could get clean. Anytime a junkie went from snorting to arm popping it meant that the hooks were in deep, so deep that they could do serious damage if they were jerked out.<br/><br/>Shaw cracked a window and lit up a smoke. The road back to LA ran along the Pacific Coast. The sun was sinking over the horizon and it bathed the sky in a golden amber hue. It would have been a beautiful sight to behold, but Shaw kept his eyes on the road and thought about home. He missed Boston, he missed Helena, he missed his old clients. He missed his old life. Boston could be a hellhole at times, but at least it was honest. LA was nothing but false image and the perpetuation of that false image. The place where stars were born and dreams were made didn't exist. It was as fictional as the pictures and television programs the studios produced. A bright and shining lie that lured rubes from Pigshit, Nebraska out west in droves.<br/><br/>The sun had set for nearly a half hour by the time Shaw arrived at the Kennedy Mansion just outside downtown Los Angeles. It was a big Spanish manse on a hill overlooking the city. It was a quaint little home... if your idea of quaint was Buckingham Palace. Shaw pulled up into the driveway and flashed his ID for the guard at the gate. He was waved in and up the long driveway towards the front of the house. A man was waiting for him to show him inside. Shaw laughed to himself. The house was so big they needed their own tour guides for guests.<br/><br/>Shaw passed through room after room of fine furniture and tasteful decorations until he was led to a dining room with a long oak table. Ted Kennedy sat the head of the table with two negro men flanking him on either side. Kennedy waved Shaw over when he saw him and the servant enter the room.<br/><br/>""Elliot, come in. I have some guys I want you to meet.""<br/><br/>One of the black men was young with thick eyeglasses, the other was middle aged and thin with weathered hands. They both stood as Kennedy introduced them to Shaw.<br/><br/>""This is Isiah Wolde,"" he said with a nod towards the one with glasses. ""And this is James Calhoun.""<br/><br/>Shaw shook hands with both men and had to fight the impulse to wipe his hand. It wasn't that he was racist exactly, at least not like the people in the South were supposed to be. It was just... there weren't that many black people in Boston and as a member of the Boston PD, those he did interact with were almost always the worst humanity had to offer. He knew it was unfair to judge these men based on the niggers in Boston, but he did and he felt only a little bad about it.<br/><br/>""Guys, this is Elliot Shaw. He's an old friend of mine from Boston and he is a guy I rely on to get things done. Take a seat, Elliot.""<br/><br/>Shaw sat down beside Calhoun while Wolde resumed whatever train of thought he was on before Shaw arrived.<br/><br/>""As I was saying, this march will be an ambitious one, Mr. Kennedy. We want as many as one hundred thousand people there, black and white, to show the government that we mean business. They need to see us, all of us, and know that we are not going away.""<br/><br/>""How much?"" Kennedy asked. ""How much cash is it going to take to get all your people to DC?""<br/><br/>""A lot,"" said Calhoun. ""Renting buses and gas for cars everyone, and then meals and maybe some motel rooms for a few.""<br/><br/>Shaw noticed Calhoun voice sounded off. He saw a glint of metal around his teeth and realized his lower jaw had been wired. <br/><br/>""Whatever you need,"" said Kennedy. ""I'll give you a blank check if need be, just ask.""<br/><br/>""This is mighty kind of you,"" Wolde said, placing a hand on the top of Kennedy's. <br/><br/>""It's my duty,"" Kennedy replied, placing his other hand on Wolde's. ""My brother, god rest his soul, always tried to fight for people who couldn't fight for themselves. I want to carry on with his work and do whatever I can to help you and your cause. That's why Elliot's here. Tell him about what you told me.""<br/><br/>""Mr. Shaw,"" Wolde said as he squared his glasses and looked at Shaw. ""We think we're being spied on.""<br/><br/>""By whom?"" Shaw asked.<br/><br/>""The FCB,"" said Calhoun. ""Men in dark suits follow us everywhere. We hear strange clicks on the phone lines.""<br/><br/>""Elliot,"" Kennedy said with a finger pointed at Shaw. ""I'd like you to check out their hotel rooms while they're in LA and shadow them to see what's going on. Do you know how to deal with tapped phone lines?""<br/><br/>""I got a guy who does. I can check it out and see what's going on.""<br/><br/>""We appreciate your help,Brother Shaw,"" Wolde said with a smile.<br/><br/>Brother Shaw. <br/><br/>He almost laughed out loud at that one. Doped up movie stars by day, crusading civil rights champions by night. One hell of a clientele... Wherever the hell he was, he was sure as shit a long way from Boston.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Blythe, California</span><br/><br/>""There's a great scene in the movie where they have this big fucking air battle over Detroit. It's amazing.""<br/><br/>Jake Tallchief grunted as his cousin Web kept talking about some war movie he'd saw that afternoon. He'd invited Jake to go but, he passed it up. Web had been declared 4F during the war thanks to his asthma. Jake had no such luxury. He'd fought in the Midwest as a machine gunner in the infantry and helped push Canada back to the border near the tail end of the war. After that his division went to the Pacific Northwest and served as the Third Army Group's right flank in the Battle of Vancouver. He got a bunch of shit from his squadmates when they were in the midwest as an Indian fighting in the Dakotas. Redman coming to take back his homeland they said. The ignorant fucks didn't realize Jake's tribe here in California was thousands of miles away from Sioux lands.<br/><br/>Jake and Web sat parked in Jake's car across the road from the Tomahawk Casino. The giant neon tomahawk mounted on the casino roof blinked on and off, illuminating the area in a garish light. Although it was two in the morning, the casino was hopping thanks to some tour circuit in town for a few days. The racket came courtesy of the mob guys in LA. They drove a bunch of bumfuck Shriners to casino after casino while Bopppin' Barry Chambers belted out the same tunes he'd been singing for thirty years while Shecky Lemon called them all homos. <br/><br/>A pair of motorcycles roared down the street past the Tomahawk. <br/><br/>""There they are,"" said Web. ""They're fucking late.""<br/><br/>Jake ignored his cousin and started the car. He sped through town to catch up with the bikers as they left city limits. They formed a mini convoy on the highway leading out of town.<br/><br/>""I got a bad feeling,"" Web said as he cracked the passenger window and lit a cigarette. ""This stash house out in the middle of nowhere. These biker assholes could be walking us into an ambush.""<br/><br/>""They're dead if they do that,"" Jake replied. ""Killing us fucks with our agreement with the Horde and the Sun City guys. Standing Bear and the mob would slaughter their whole biker gang if that happens.""<br/><br/>""But we'd still be dead. So who cares what happens to them?""<br/><br/>""Touche.""<br/><br/>Thirty miles out into the California desert the two bikers pulled down a dirt road where they slowed to a crawling speed. Jake followed them down the winding dirt road for thirty minutes before they came to a clearing. The headlights of the car illuminated the area in harsh detail. A dozen motorcycles were parked around a white moving truck with its running lights on.<br/><br/>Jake and Web got out of the car and walked towards the waiting bikers. Jake made sure to keep a hand on the gun tucked into his waistband. Little Walter, the Horde MC's president, came up to them and nodded slowly. The nickname was one of those ironic ones as Walter was nearly as tall as Jake and a good fify pounds heavier than him. <br/><br/>""You got your Braves waiting to form a convoy?"" He asked with a grin.<br/><br/>""Our guys are back in Blythe,"" said Jake. ""They'll hook up with us there and follow us through Arizona and New Mexico.""<br/><br/>""C'mon, then.""<br/><br/>Little Walter walked them to the back of the truck. A tall, thin man with a shaved head stood smoking a black cigarette. He wore a black turtleneck that would have burned him alive in the day, but was appropriate in the cool desert night.<br/><br/>""This is Yuri, he's the man in charge of handling the product on this run.""<br/><br/>""Why?"" Web asked. ""The fuck is it this time?""<br/><br/>Jake traded looks with his cousin. This made Jake and Web's fourth courier run since the Tribe started their deal with the mob and the Horde. Last time it had been a truck filled with cocaine and heroin. The time before that it had been Chinese guns. The previous times hadn't needed their own special handler. <br/><br/>""What's in the back?"" Jake asked.<br/><br/>Yuri said something Jake couldn't understand, but Walter seemed to. The two men walked to the closed back of the truck and opened it up. Yuri shined a flashlight into the dark. Jake and Web looked inside and stepped back once they realized what they were looking at. They were women. A dozen or so, mostly Eurasian but a few were Asian. They looked at Jake and Web in half-closed eyes and blinked rapidly at the sudden light that filled the space.<br/><br/>""Whores,"" said Yuri. He spat out his cigarette and closed the door to the truck. ""Pussy. Flesh. I feed. I take care of. I keep under control. You drive.""<br/><br/>""You guys know the deal,"" said Walter. ""Get the truck through what's left of Cali, then Arizona and New Mexico. Mob guys will be waiting at the Colorado line.""<br/><br/>""I ride in front,"" said Yuri. ""You do not go in back. You do not talk to whores.""<br/><br/>""Okay,"" Web said. ""Got it.""<br/><br/>Jake looked towards the back of the truck and then to Yuri and Little Walter. He knew they would be smuggling bad stuff for the mob, but he wasn't prepared for this. Blow was one thing, guns were another, but this... this was people. Women who were probably not here in this country of their own free will.<br/><br/>Right on time, something thumped on the back of the truck followed by shouting. Yuri yelled in some language and beat on the door. He shouted over the shouts from inside the truck and kept shouting until the women stopped. He looked at Jake with a hard look on his face.<br/><br/>""Problem?""<br/><br/>""No,"" Jake finally said. ""No...""<br/><br/>""Then get on the road,"" said Little Walter. ""You're wasting time.""<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Natchez, Mississippi</span><br/><br/>""Fuck them motherfuckers!""<br/><br/>Wendy Tillman was in her eighty-first year on the planet, every single one of those years spent in Adams County, Mississippi. But yet the old lady could swear a world-weary sailor under the table. Boyd Rafferty had learned this fact over the past few days.<br/><br/>Boyd sat in the living from of Mrs. Tillman's home and listened to the old negro lady as she ranted and raved about the injustices she'd seen over the years. Boyd calmly let her talk herself out while he waited with a notepad and pen to write down what she had to say about the night Will Johnson and his family were killed. With the Adams County Sheriff's Department reporting no leads and the state Bureau of Investigations declining to get involved, Boyd and his small staff of investigators seemed to be the only authority figures who cared about the crime.<br/><br/>""They killed my great uncle Norbit in '25, and then they beat my cousin Rollo half to death in '36. My youngest, Thomas, spent ten years on a chain gang because he dared to fight back against a racist ass police officer. Fuck all of 'em, I say!""<br/><br/>""I'm glad you say it,"" Boyd said diplomatically. ""Now about the night the Johnson family were killed, Mrs. Tillman?"" <br/><br/>""I remember a big truck,"" she said matter-of-factly. ""I heard it coming down the road. It ain't normal for there be much traffic on the road at that time of night so I got up and looked out the window and saw it roaring down the road with about three white men hanging on in the back.""<br/><br/>Boyd nodded and wrote down details on his notepad. Mrs. Tillman was the closest house to the now burned husk that the Johnson family called home. The Calhouns were a mile further down the road; but James and Whitney and their three adult children hadn't seen anything that night.<br/><br/>""Did you catch the make and model?"" Boyd asked. ""What about the color?""<br/><br/>""It was blue, light blue. And I'm afraid that's all I know. I don't know the first damn thing about cars and trucks, Mr. Boyd.""<br/><br/>""And that was all you saw?""<br/><br/>""I'm afraid so."" Mrs. Tillman pointed to her eyes. ""But I can sure as shit identify that truck if I need to. I'm old as dirt, but my eyes are as sharp as they've ever been.""<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Boyd left Mrs. Tillman's house and headed back to town in his big black car. Cotton fields ran parallel to the road and swarms of black sharecroppers were out in the field. They worked the fields with huge sacks brimming with cotton on their backs, so much weight that almost all of them were stooped and bent over as they picked.<br/><br/>Once upon a time those fields had been Rafferty fields. The Rafferty Family had owned nearly all of Adams County at one time, including its people. It was no coincidence that half the negroes in Adams County had the last name of Rafferty. The Rafferty Family had been part of a great gentry class that led the South in the days before the Civil War. That aristocracy had built their wealth on the backs of slaves, it was true, but there was a sense of order and civility in the South. After the war, the gentry had lost their slaves and their holdings. That stability and order had been ripped apart by Union troops and Union guns. The power vacuum in the South had been filled by dumb crackers and rednecks who ruled with hate and used fear like a weapon. Things like what happened to Will Johnson and his family would not have happened to them back when the Rafferty Family ruled Adams County. And if it did happen, men like John Rafferty would see that absolute justice visited the white men who committed such a heinous act.<br/><br/>Boyd found a message waiting for him when he got back to the courthouse in Natchez. Harvey Welborn, the Sixth District Attorney and Boyd's boss, wanted him to call him as soon as possible. He went into his office on the third floor and closed the door before calling the number.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""Boyd,""</span> Welborn's phlegmy voice came on the line, followed shortly by a loud cough that made Boyd pull his head away from the receiver. <span class=""bb-i"">""Boyd, why are you wasting DA money and manpower on a dead end case?""</span><br/><br/>""I'm sorry, sir?""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""This lynching thing. It's going nowhere, I've read the sheriff's department reports myself and--""</span><br/><br/>""And six people are dead,"" he interjected. ""Four of them are children, sir.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">""And it ain't going anywhere, son. If anything comes up, the sheriff's department will take it from there and investigate. You have active cases to prosecute so I suggest you get to it. Am I being clear?""</span><br/><br/>""Yes, sir--""<br/><br/>The connection cut out before Boyd could say anything else. He slammed the phone down and stood up. He stalked towards the office window and resisted the urge to punch out the glass, to punch something. A family had been murdered and nobody who could do something about it gave a good goddamn. Maybe it was the fact that he witnessed the aftermath of the murder, or maybe it was Mrs. Tillman speaking of all the horrible things she had seen over the years... but he was tired of how things happened down here and how everybody just accepted them as a way of life.<br/><br/>He looked out the window as he heard a loud noise coming from somewhere down the street. A big pickup truck roared down main street past the courthouse and didn't stop as it sped out of town. Boyd made the connection as soon as he laid eyes on the truck. It was powder blue. Windy Tillman and her sharp eyes would have almost certainly called that color light blue. Boyd spun on his heels and raced out his office in an effort to catch up to the truck.</div>"

He was dripping wet, covered in rain, and on his face was a scowl. The pub’s landlord rubbed at a pint glass with a rag, as if unaware of Newman’s presence, until his heavy, wet footsteps drew the landlord’s gaze towards him. It had only taken Newman five minutes to find out which pub Clarke had been murdered in and another two to find out that the landlord, a man by the name of Jonathan “Jim” Thompson, had been present during it. Thompson was in his fifties, with sunken cheeks and a sickly disposition, and there was a defeated look to his eye as he gestured Newman towards the exit.<br/><br/>“We’re closed, mate.”<br/><br/>“You’re closed when I say you’re closed,” Ray said cooly as he reached into his pocket and plucked his badge from it. “Newman, Metropolitan Police.”<br/><br/>Newman continued towards Thompson with a look that brooked no argument and perched against the bar opposite the landlord.<br/><br/>“Oh, for god’s sake. What do you people want? I already spoke to your man, the one with the beard, Detective Winters? I have absolutely nothing more to say about what happened.”<br/><br/>Newman’s scowl deepened and he reached across the bar and grabbed Thompson by the collar of his Oxford shirt. He slammed the landlord’s head against the bar beneath one of its many pumps and reached for one of the handles. As his hand tightened around it, he pictured Oldfield bleeding out on that pavement and let his rage run through him. He couldn’t bring James back, nor could he find whoever had killed him, but he could help Keenan and Simone. Even if that meant getting his hands a little dirty in the process.<br/><br/>“Is that so?”<br/><br/>Newman yanked down on the pump and a murky, brown ale came flowing out and washed over Thompson’s face. The landlord tried to struggle out from beneath Ray’s fat, hairy hands but was no match for the policeman’s strength. Thompson gargled away in vain, trying to catch his breath where he could, until Newman let the pump loose some and Thomson coughed and spluttered for breath. He looked up at the policeman, his eyes widened with shock, and attempted to tug out from beneath him once again.<br/><br/>“What the hell are you doing? You can’t do this.”<br/><br/>A sadistic smile appeared on Ray’s face.<br/><br/>“What are you going to do about it?”<br/><br/>Ray pinned the man down again and tugged on the pump with even more authority than he’d done the first time. The brown liquid covered Thompson’s face and this time his lame attempts to breathe seemed tinged with real danger and threat. His clawing at Newman grew more and more desperate but Ray ignored the scratches, despite their drawing blood, and forced the landlord to endure more of the ordeal. He would make him speak where Winters had failed to. Now Newman proved that he was being serious, he’d give Thompson the opportunity to earn his next breath. He let the pump go and pulled Thompson out from beneath it.<br/><br/>“A man was murdered in your pub and you swear blind that you saw nothing,” Newman said as the landlord gasped for air pathetically. “Forgive me if I don’t believe the tale you spun to my colleague but I find that a little hard to believe.”<br/><br/>Thompson shook his head earnestly.<br/><br/>“I told your man everything, I swear.”<br/><br/>Newman slapped the gaunt, sickly landlord with the back of his hand and flecks of ale went flying across the floor of the pub. Thompson’s white cheek was a blushed red from the blow as Newman prodded one of his fat fingers into his face.<br/><br/>“I’m not fond of the coloureds, not one bit, but coloured or not the fuck that did that old man in is still walking the streets. Next time it could be someone I know and love. I’m not going to let that happen, John. In fact, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that it doesn’t hap-”<br/><br/>The policeman stopped midsentence as he noticed something in the mirrored surface that lined the shelves behind Thompson. It was a figure. Tall, slender, with a youthful face that Newman would recognise anywhere. A puzzled look appeared on Thompson’s face as Ray eyed the figure, the colour draining from Ray’s face as his brain began to process what he was seeing. It was Oldfield. It wasn’t Oldfield, Ray knew that much, it couldn’t have been him. He’d held him as he’d bled out in the middle of the street. He’d been there when they’d lowered him into the ground. Ray felt the hand that had been clamped around Thompson’s neck begin to shake and the landlord slipped out from it and went crashing to the ground.<br/><br/>Newman mumbled, almost incomprehensibly, as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing.<br/><br/>“James?”<br/><br/>Between blinks, the figure disappeared and Newman’s shaking, damp hands stilled some. He shook his head, attempting to consign the vision to the back of his mind, as Thompson scuttled on his hands and knees away from the policeman. Once Newman had finally regained his senses, he stared down at Jim Thompson, soaked through in ale, cheeks reddened from where Ray had struck him, and a deep sense of guilt began to flow through Newman.<br/><br/>“You’re insane, man.”<br/><br/>Newman could offer no rebuttal. He glimpsed back up at the surface, hoping to see the visage again, but found only his reflection staring back at him.<br/><br/>“It’s nothing, I thought… I thought I saw… someone that I…”<br/><br/>Gazing into his own eyes he realized the folly in what he’d done. He’d volunteered to help Keenan and Simone out of some sense of impotence regarding Oldfield’s murder, hoping to atone for not being able to save him, for not seeing it coming, and hoping, as Alice Oldfield had suggested to him, to better himself to some degree. He’d hoped to be more like Oldfield, not less like him, and only now did he realise that James would never have sullied himself by torturing information out of someone, least of all someone that had done nothing wrong except having been scared. Jim Thompson might know more than he was letting on but he wasn’t keeping quiet to hurt anyone. It was because he feared violence reprisal. And all Newman had done was proved him right.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry.”<br/><br/>Ray muttered as he staggered his way towards the exit. As he reached it and felt the cold wind gushing against him, he heard Thompson’s feeble, strained voice mutter a damning phrase. It carried along the bitter, Brixton wind as the door slammed shut behind Newman.<br/><br/>“Fucking nutcase.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Cape Town, South Africa</span><br/><br/>Woolgar Donovan stared down at the gathered bodies of the murdered British ex-pats he and Corporal Nick Marsh had stumbled upon. They were a ghastly sight and even worse on the nose. No doubt the story would have broken back home by now but Donovan didn’t have time to think about that. He ran a dirt-covered hand through his sandy blonde hair and let a smoker’s cough crawl its way up through his blackened lungs as he peered at the bodies. Marsh stood by his side, eyeing them forensically, as the makeshift coroner examined them. The coroner was a fat man, hair tied back into a messy blonde ponytail, and he spoke with an accent posher than any Donovan had ever heard before. It seemed ill-suited to the man, who seemed incompetent to the point of criminal negligence, but rumour had it the coroner came from good stock. The disappointing third son of some distant cousin of a distant cousin of a baronet. It was far from Donovan’s humble beginnings. <br/><br/>“What can you tell me?”<br/><br/>The coroner looked up to Woolgar with a vapid smile.<br/><br/>“There’s no need to over-think this one, Donovan. This is the work of natives. It’s as open and shut as they come. All we need to do is find the black bastards responsible and make them pay for it. If you ask me, we ought to string them up and do them the way they did these poor sods. Flay them alive and send a message to the rest of them that they will be broken, one way or a-bloody-nother.”<br/><br/>Donovan’s teeth had gritted as the fat coroner spoke. He was certain the man had seen action on the front line and doubted he ever would. Yet here he was extolling the virtues of an act of barbarity he himself would never have the stomach to see through. It was commonplace in the Armed Forces, sadly, and more often than not it was working class men like Donovan that were made to do it. He had no words for him on that, at least no sensible ones, and instead kept to the matter at hand.<br/><br/>“You’re sure about that?”<br/><br/>Another empty, smug smile flashed in Donovan’s direction.<br/><br/>“As sure as the day is long, old chap.”<br/><br/>Marsh, who had up to that point been silent, cleared his throat to catch the coroner’s attention and gestured towards the door in the corner of the room.<br/><br/>“Could we have the room?”<br/><br/>The coroner nodded and began to pluck his gloves free from his hands.<br/><br/>“Of course, I’m going to trust the pair of you to refrain from interfering with the cadavers whilst I’m out of the room.”<br/><br/>Marsh watched as the fat man waddled towards the door and waited until it had shut behind him before breaking into action. He reached for the lock on the door and turned it. Donovan watched on, bemused, as Marsh gazed down at the bodies, his eyes mere inches away from them, studying them closer than the coroner had. After a minute had passed, he cleared his throat and looked up to Donovan with a uncertain look.<br/><br/>“Permission to speak frankly, LT?”<br/><br/>Donovan smiled.<br/><br/>“It smells like shit in here, Nick, I think we can dispense with the formalities.”<br/><br/>Marsh let free a relieved sigh.<br/><br/>“It’s bullshit.”<br/><br/>Woolgar’s wrinkled, scarred face remained unchanged as the words slipped out. Marsh looked as if he’d expected his commanding officer to be taken aback but Donovan had seen more than his fair share of impossible things in South Africa. There wasn’t much left that could shock him. Instead, he rubbed at the stubble that resided on his chin and nodded blankly to Marsh.<br/><br/>“Explain.”<br/><br/>Marsh moved towards the bodies. With great care, he hovered his hands over portions of their bodies that he wanted to draw Donovan’s attention to, making certain not to make contact with them. He had a theory, though he daren’t speak life into it, and the last thing he needed to be accused of tampering with the bodies. If Marsh’s theory were true, there would be huge ramifications for everyone involved, and the evidence would need to stack up. First though, he’d have to convince Donovan, which was by no means an easy task given that the Lieutenant was disposed towards disbelieving in all things at even the best of times. Little did he know, Donovan had already begun to have suspicions of his own. Though they weren’t as thought out as the Corporal’s doubts.<br/><br/>“The natives use machetes. Whoever flayed these men used something else, something sharper than the rusty tat the coloureds get their hands on. Plus the marks on their hands and feet… It’s not consistent with rope, boss. It’s something else. Plastic handcuffs or something like that.”<br/><br/>For the first time, Donovan seemed impressed.<br/><br/>“How do you know all of this, Marsh?”<br/><br/>Marsh’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment.<br/><br/>“I… before the war started I wanted to be a policeman but… I thought… I wanted to do my bit.”<br/><br/>Donovan nodded as he moved forwards to inspect the ex-pats wrists himself to verify Marsh’s observation. To Donovan’s untrained eye, the marks around their wrists might as well have been from rope, but Marsh seemed to know what he was talking about. There weren’t many men left in South Africa, or Donovan’s platoon for that matter, of which that was true.<br/><br/>“If we make it out of this place in one piece, promise me you’ll do that, Marsh. You’re wasted out here. We’re all wasted out here.”<br/><br/>Marsh and Donovan stood in silence, staring down at the bodies – their sliced clean from them, and both men pondered their next move, with each arriving at a different conclusion. Marsh spoke first, his eagerness for justice clear from his facial expressions, but given his rank he was compelled to defer to Donovan.<br/><br/>“What are we going to do?”<br/><br/>Woolgar clicked his tongue with exasperation.<br/><br/>“What are we meant to do? We’re not policemen, Marsh, we’re soldiers. We follow orders.”<br/><br/>Marsh’s disappointment was tangible.<br/><br/>“But… if the natives didn’t kill them, who did?”<br/><br/>Donovan looked to his corporal and placed a rough, calloused hand on his shoulder pad, with a heavy sigh. It wasn’t chiding by any means, nor mocking, but concerned, almost paternal.<br/><br/>“Ask yourself this, kid. If whoever did these poor bastards in were willing to do a thing like this, what do you think they’d do to the guy that started asking questions about it?”<br/><br/>The lieutenant watched as Marsh’s mind worked, playing through all the possible scenarios that could arise from him chasing what had happened here, and finding each ended as badly as the last. He wanted more than anything to find who had done this and bring them to justice, it was what he had joined the army to do ¬– to stop barbarism like this, but he had a feeling if he pursued it any further he’d as quickly end up next to them. Donovan was right, as much as he hated to admit it, and as much as Donovan himself hated the sordid, unending moral compromises war forced him into. He walked towards the door, unlocked it, pushed it open, and pointed Nick, whose vacant gaze betrayed his begrudging understanding of the situation, to step through it.<br/><br/>“Let’s go, Marsh.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>It had been a difficult morning for Samuel Hobbs. Most of his mornings had been difficult of late. This one was particularly uncomfortable. The bodies in South Africa were too big a story for the government to brush under the carpet, despite their efforts, and instead they had tried to take the bull by the horns. It had backfired in a sense. Now all anyone seemed to want to discuss were the murders in South Africa despite the government wanting to discuss anything but it. Luckily in the Downing Street briefing room, Samuel Hobbs was king. In his weekly meeting with Britain’s leading political editors, Hobbs controlled what was said and what wasn’t said, and it was him that okayed, if indirectly, what would hit Britain’s front pages the next morning. They might not be capable of stopping the British people from talking about it but they could certainly make sure it didn’t see the front page of a newspaper tomorrow morning. Instead, they would talk up the Voluntary Repatriation Bill until that became the national preoccupation. At least that was the plan.<br/><br/>“Before we begin I just want to say that I won’t be answering any questions about South Africa or what happened in Cape Town so I wouldn’t even waste my breath if I were you.”<br/><br/>Charlie Whitebread from the Guardian piped up, his fat, red face sticking out amidst the crowd of assembled editors, with a question that proved to completely wrong-foot the un-wrong-footable Hobbs.<br/><br/>“What about Hewitt?”<br/><br/>The rail thin, ghostly pale Hobbs did a double take.<br/><br/>“I beg your pardon?”<br/><br/>Whitebread smiled, sensing he’d caught Hobbs off guard somewhat, and pressed the issue.<br/><br/>“What about Dominic Hewitt? Rumour has it he was let go last week.”<br/><br/>Were Hobbs a normal man, his face might have reddened with anger but instead the only indication of his anger was a slight narrowing of the eyes. It passed and Hobbs let a sickly sweet smile flash across his face as he tried to disguise his being caught unprepared.<br/><br/>“Yeah, well, I wouldn’t trust whatever source you’re hearing these rumours from if I were you. Hewitt left for personal reasons, some dead fucking granny or an aunt with a cancerous growth the size of Malta on her tit, something soppy like that. He was not, I repeat not, “let go” by Downing Street so any prick that prints anything remotely resembling that will have me to deal with.”<br/><br/>Whitebread smiled.<br/><br/>“I think the lady protests too much.”<br/><br/>The Downing Street press man’s smile disappeared and he glowered in the Guardian editor’s direction. Despite his small, skinny frame there was a real menace to Hobbs. It wasn’t a violent one, much the opposite in fact, but the menace one might feel upon seeing the grim reaper darken one’s door. Hobbs was a force of nature, he could ruin careers with a single phone call, and Whitebread’s barb had inched over the invisible line between fraternal jockeying and overfamiliarity.<br/><br/>“My fist will be protesting its way all the way up your fat arse if you don’t shut the fuck up, Charlie. And if you insist on quoting the bard the least you could fucking do is get it right.”<br/><br/>A cowed silence fell on the group as Whitebread shuffled uncomfortably in his seat. Beside him Fred Lambert from the New Jerusalem cleared his throat uncomfortably and Hobbs shot him a disapproving look. Mid throat-clear Lambert stopped, compelled into a silence of limbs by the look, and stared elsewhere as to avoid Sam’s gaze. Finally convinced he had exerted his authority over the group again, Hobbs let out a playful smile and flipped open the folder resting in front of him.<br/><br/>“Enough flirting,” Hobbs muttered as he reached for his pen. “Can we get down to business?”<br/><br/>Opposite the table the editors opened their own booklets, reached for their pens, and prepared to make notes of Hobbs’ dictation. Never had a Director of Communications spoke so clearly with his master’s voice but as far as the press lobby was concerned Hobbs was the closest thing Downing Street had to a prophet. His word was as good as the Prime Minister’s itself on policy issues.<br/><br/>“The Voluntary Repatriation Bill is to go before the House of Commons this afternoon. Yours truly has spent many hours making sure this thing reads like a fucking charm so I expect you fat bastards to be waxing positively lyrical about it tomorrow morning. This is the Prime Minister’s magnum opus, ladies and gentlemen, which means this is my magnum opus. Anything less than five star reviews and we’ll send the heavies round with the broom handles.”<br/><br/>The tension in the room cleared as the editors let out a bawdy laugh at the Director of Communication’s flowery imagery all but for one. Fred Lambert sat uncomfortably silent and still amidst the laughing editors, a guilty look on his face, finding himself incapable of laughing.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">*****</div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>It was late afternoon and Ray Newman ambled his way up the stairs of the Angell Town estate towards 12D, the apartment Keenan Gayle had specified during their chance meeting. He stopped outside of it, plunging his chubby hands into the pockets of his Harrington jacket with a heavy sigh as he considered knocking on the door to the apartment. One of his hands slid from his pocket, floating above the air in front of Keenan’s door with purpose, until all the will seemed to drain from Newman and he let his hand flop back to his side. His mind was still plagued with thoughts of last night. What he’d done and, more importantly, what he’d seen was playing on his mind. He had never been a superstitious man. At least, before last night he’d never been a superstitious man, but now he wasn’t sure what to think. All he knew was that he’d left Thompson’s pub feeling more sullied than when he’d entered it. He needed to unburden himself if he were to combat that feeling.<br/><br/>Finally Ray knocked and Keenan Gayle appeared at the door.<br/><br/>“Ray,” Keenan said with a smile. “What are you doing here? I wasn’t expecting you so soon.”<br/><br/>Newman gestured inside of the apartment.<br/><br/>“I need to talk to you, Keenan.”<br/><br/>“Sure, come on in.”<br/><br/>Gayle led Newman through the tiny flat, around the boxes of possessions containing Keenan and Simone’s possessions, to where they were staying in what once had been the dining room. Keenan’s friend had given him and Simone a roof over their heads but it wasn’t much more than that. In fairness, not many of the houses on the Angell Town estate had much more than that. Newman leant against a stack of boxes. As he did so, there came a squeak from beneath one of his feet and he noticed a toy beneath his foot. He grimaced awkwardly and stared around the apartment.<br/><br/>“Is… Is Simone here?”<br/><br/>Keenan shook his head.<br/><br/>“No, no, she’s still at school. I should be at work but… well, there wasn’t any this morning.”<br/><br/>Ray nodded vacantly as he stared at Keenan, weighing up whether to give voice to his actions last night. He barely knew Keenan, Simone even less so, and he’d not declared to either of them that he was determined to bring Errol Clarke’s murderer to justice. For all Ray knew, Keenan might take Newman’s vow badly and things could get ugly between them. Ray wouldn’t blame him if he did. Eventually, after staring silently over Keenan’s shoulder for several seconds, Ray swallowed his pride and spoke.<br/><br/>“I went to the pub where Errol was murdered, Keenan.”<br/><br/>Gayle frowned.<br/><br/>“What?”<br/><br/>“I wasn’t completely honest with you last time we met. My name is Ray Newman but… I’m a policeman, or at least I was a policeman, I’m on a bit of a break at the moment. The policeman that was murdered? He was my best friend, I guess. They’ve made me take some time off but… I’m not really coping as well as I thought I would. So I decided I’d try to make myself useful.”<br/><br/>It was a lot to take in all at once but, in credit to Keenan, he seemed to accept the information quicker than Newman had anticipated. Perhaps he had sensed police on Neman from a distance. The coloureds were able to just see police on certain people. Newman had been in the police for nearly two decades so it went without saying he’d picked up certain tics that gave away his occupation. Gayle must have picked up on them long before Ray confessed his real profession.<br/><br/>“By finding the people that killed Errol?”<br/><br/>Ray nodded.<br/><br/>“Something like that.”<br/><br/>The two unlikely friends stood in silence, neither making eye contact with one another as their minds moved in completely different directions, and each toiled away internally for the next sentence. Inspiration struck Newman before it struck Keenan. It was a pang of guilt that brought that inspiration on – guilt about what he’d done last night.<br/><br/>“I… I need to do this right,” Newman muttered. “I used to cut corners, Keenan, do things because they were easy, with no thought to whether they were right or wrong. My friend, his name was James, he did everything by the book. He was twice the policeman I am. I… I told myself I’d do this right but when I went down to the pub I just lost it.”<br/><br/>A concerned look flashed across Keenan’s face.<br/><br/>“You hurt him? The landlord?”<br/><br/>“Nothing too bad,” Ray said with a shake of the head. “But bad enough that if he was inclined to tell me anything before I paid him a visit, he won’t ever be again.”<br/><br/>Through Ray’s self-pity, Gayle had burst into life and began searching through the boxes for something. After each box, he let out a little sigh, and began searching through the next. As he reached the last one, he caught the end of Newman’s sentence and shrugged his shoulders dismissively at its premise.<br/><br/>“What makes you say that?”<br/><br/>Newman’s chubby cheeks turned red with embarrassment.<br/><br/>“I… I laid hands on the man, Keenan.”<br/><br/>Keenan popped one of the boxes open and a broad smile appeared on his face. He reached for a stack of photographs that rested above some of Keenan’s old records and began to sift through them.<br/><br/>“Errol used to say only those that were unwilling to ask for forgiveness were beyond forgiveness.”<br/><br/>An incredulous look appeared on Newman’s face.<br/><br/>“What are you saying? That I should go back there and tell the man I'm sorry?”<br/><br/>A little titter left Keenan’s lips as he found a picture amidst the stack of old photographs. It was Errol Clarke, in all of his glory, with his trademark hat atop his head. Something about him struck a bell with Newman but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what. Gayle smiled one last, solemn smile before turning to face Ray.<br/><br/>“Here’s a picture of Errol,” Keenan said as he outstretched his arm in Ray’s direction. “Maybe it will jog his memory a little.”<br/><br/>Newman reached out for it, staring down at the smiling, friendly coloured face of Errol Clarke, as his mind went to Jim Thompson, ale pouring over his mouth and nose as he plead for Ray to stop, and about how awkward it would be to go back there and ask for his forgiveness. Asking for someone’s forgiveness was never really something Ray had to perfect. If he was going to get any closer to solving Clarke’s murder, he was going to need to get good at it – and fast.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center"">*****</div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>Fraser Campbell fretted over the dozens of papers strewn over his kitchen table in a way he never usually fretted. Joyce Campbell watched on, her husband’s prickliness evident all day and night, before finally swallowing her pride and approaching her husband. She placed a hand on the small of Fraser’s back and smoke in a tone that managed to be both reassuring and needy at the same time.<br/><br/>“Do you want to talk?”<br/><br/>Campbell shrugged off his wife’s hand in favour of continuing to read the papers in front of him.<br/><br/>“I have to take the Bill before Parliament tomorrow afternoon. I don’t have time to talk, Joyce.”<br/><br/>One of Joyce Campbell’s blonde eyebrows shot up and her picturesque face suddenly became disbelieving.<br/><br/>""Since when? You <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> have time to talk.""<br/><br/>No response came from her husband. Though he was sometimes prone to bouts of self doubt or the occasional indecision, prickliness was never something that Joyce Campbell associated with her husband, which meant that something else had changed. As she tried to swallow her pride at having been ignored, it occurred to her that the elephant in the room loomed far larger than she could ever had imagined.<br/><br/>""This is about Tom.""<br/><br/>For the first time, Campbell looked up from the stack of papers in front of him and shot his wife a defiant look.<br/><br/>""This is <span class=""bb-i"">not</span> about Tom.""<br/><br/>""Then why are you being distant?""<br/><br/>Campbell let out an exasperated sigh, flinging the pen between his fingers along the kitchen side and away from him, as if to illustrate the extent of his frustration with the line of his wife’s inquiry into his mod.<br/><br/>""Because tomorrow is a <span class=""bb-i"">very</span> important day and I need to prepare. What don’t you understand about that?""<br/><br/>Fraser’s tone was particularly pointed at the end. It was a decidedly un-Fraser-like moment from Campbell. In all the years Joyce had known her husband he had never spoken to her in the way he had just done. Fraser was pointed, spiteful even, and though he would be aghast to learn it, had managed to unwittingly channel some of Tom. Joyce knew Fraser would <span class=""bb-i"">hate</span> to know that and she had no intentions of telling him. She wandered away from her husband’s side, towards the refrigerator in the corner of the kitchen, when her husband’s hands unexpectedly wrapped around her own. <br/><br/>""I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that.""<br/><br/>Joyced let out a defeated sigh.<br/><br/>""It’s fine.""<br/><br/>""No, it’s not fine. We <span class=""bb-i"">both</span> agreed to… to what you did and it’s unfair of me to hold it against you. It’s just… It’s the way he looks at me, Joyce. As if he has something over me, as if even after all of these years he’s better than I am, and I’m too stupid to realise what’s going on beneath my nose. It makes me so angry I can barely contain it.""<br/><br/>Finally Fraser had spoken about it. His silenced had cut Joyce deeper than his words ever might have done. They had agreed to the other night, both of them seeing it as the only way to remove Tom from the picture, and yet all day and all night Fraser had treated his wife with contempt. It seemed one thing to discuss being cuckolded and another completely actually being cuckolded. Her husband seemed to be taking to it even worse than she anticipated. At least, he had done. There seemed a flicker of regret, an inkling of remose, to Fraser Campbell as his fingers ran along the length of his wife’s fingers.<br/><br/>Joyce nodded, knowingly, as wrapped her arms around Fraser.<br/><br/>""Soon there’ll be no more of Tom. They’ll ship him out somewhere, maybe to some far corner of Britain, or even out of the country should push come to shove – and then we’ll be free to make our move. There’ll be <span class=""bb-i"">no one</span> left to stop us, Fraser. You think of that and all the good we’ll do once he’s gone next time. You hear me?""<br/><br/>Campbell nodded.<br/><br/>""I hear you.""<br/><br/>Their embrace lingered on for several minutes until finally Joyce Campbell let he husband slip from her grasp. He wandered slowly back over to the kitchen table where his speech awaited him and Joyce followed after him. She perched on the seat next to his, lifting the first of the many pages up from the side, and scanning it as she let out a contented sigh.<br/><br/>""Now, let me read this speech of yours.""</div>"

Her body was numb with anger. She looked up at Fulumirani, who sat quite unaffected on the other side of a table heaped with correspondence. The ambassador supped at a steaming cup of coffee while Azima's went cold in the outdoor air. Birds chirped in trees whose leaf-heavy branches hung over a thick cobblestone wall, and wind-chimes rang softly in the breeze. <br/><br/>""How many has he sent?"" Azima asked, glancing in disgust at letters. After her time in China, she had secured the opportunity to speak in the Chinese National Congress, and the news of this letter made her feel as if her speech had already failed. <br/><br/>The heat of his drink had made Fulumirani's nose run, and he sniffed sharply before he spoke. ""Four, perhaps? At least in the time I have been been here. Lutalo has been sending letters to Hou since the reign of Yohannes. At least that is what I have been told, but I haven't been here that long. You would have to ask our Prime Minister about the rest."" It was easy to forget that Akanni had been the Ambassador to China before he was Prime Minister. When Yaqob constructed the Constitutional Parliament in 1976, he appointed Akanni to be his Prime Minister and the man had held the office ever since, long becoming identified with it.<br/><br/>""And do you suppose Hou has his copy already?"" she grabbed the letter as if to read it, but it was too disgusting to read, so she only waved it at Fulumirani and threw it back on the table.<br/><br/>""Yes. Most probably. Lutalo publishes these things after he sends them, so even if Hou's copy hasn't arrived, he will hear about it. If nothing else, the IB most likely intercepted this one before it was delivered"" <br/><br/>Azima's mouth fell open. ""The IB read embassy mail?""<br/><br/>""I suspect. I have no proof."" Fulumirani sniffed. ""But nobody has accused me of being a suspicious man.""<br/><br/>""No they don't."" she agreed. She had heard the ambassador called indifferent, lazy, and aloof, but never suspicious. ""But how would they do this without you knowing?""<br/><br/>""Do they steam the envelope?"" he smiled a slight smile. ""I don't know. Espionage is not my forte I fear. But there are things that have made me suspicious. Sometimes the mail seems to come in... themes, as if a selection had been contrasted by agents before being sent along. And sometimes... I don't know, I suppose sometimes the mail I receive seems like it has been tampered with.""<br/><br/>""Well, that's not evidence."" Azima said. ""But the entire idea unsettles me. Our countries are allies and they snoop through our mail? That seems hard to accept.""<br/><br/>Fulumirani shrugged and put his coffee down. ""If I may say, your majesty, I don't find it too out of character for the Chinese to do something like that. We are their only true ally, in the sense we are the only nation they deal with squarely without any sort of ideological or political control on their part. The way this relationship truly works is this; Hou trusts Yaqob, but China does not trust Ethiopia, and the IB trusts nobody.""<br/><br/>She nodded glumly. China was such a big and unfriendly place, and it had swallowed her whole. It was not the people - they were distant, but not unkind. And it was not Hou. The Chairman had been especially welcoming, and she had to admit she liked the old man. She even felt comfortable leaving the children with him. When she left his home in the rural coastline north of Tianjin, he had been watching the children playing alongside the beach. But safety was not what she felt she lacked. It was control over her own destiny, and that of the children. She felt hopelessly without power, and it ate at her like there were insects nibbling at her heart.<br/><br/>""Look at this."" Fulumirani picked up the Lutalo letter and read from it. ""<span class=""bb-i"">It is the expulsion of undue influences which we seek. Ethiopia is a foreigner to most of Africa, leaching from it's people and tarnishing the traditions and values of the non-Ethiopian peoples of this our continent.</span>"" He looked up at her. She did not understand what he was getting at. ""This is pure Houism if I can identify it."" the Ambassador said, tapping the page with his index finger. <br/><br/>""He's wooing Hou."" she stated, processing the strategy.<br/><br/>""More then that."" he replied. ""Listen to this. '<span class=""bb-i"">Africa can be a single confederation, equal but independent, of tribes and disparate people banded together for a mutual defense against outside forces while not turned against each other. Many communes, one proletariat.</span>' That, your majesty, is Chifundist Communism on display. You might recognize it, Chifundo influenced the ideas of both the Rouge General and your own husband. And read this, '<span class=""bb-i"">The monocrats of Africa have fallen for capitalist traps, sold to them by the fevered binary fallacy which says if you find a way to succeed, then all other ways must lead to failure. Capitalists would have us believe that no economy can function without the bourgeois, and the puny evidence they present is that the capitalist nations of the world thrive, therefore the evils presented by that system must be swallowed because they can surely be the only way to thrive. They say there is only one road to success, and it must be paved in horrors. No other option is accepted.</span>' That last bit... I don't even know where that comes from. That's more ideology than I know how to swallow.""<br/><br/>""He's a Communist. I think we know that."" Azima replied.<br/><br/>""Yes, but he was never a very good one before."" Fulumirani said, talking slow as if the idea was still forming on his tongue. ""In the first two letters Lutalo sent Hou while I was in Beijing, he referred to him as 'His Proletarian Majesty'. That's the type of thing Lutalo is about - dramatic flourishes. Communism for him is an excuse for vainglory. Perhaps he has changed or grown up, but..."" he paused for emphasis.<br/><br/>""No."" she said. ""This is the same Lutalo who proposed in Parliament to rename Yaqob's birthday as 'Communism Day'. He is a blunt man. But what does this mean?""<br/><br/>""I think it means he has a real movement now."" Fulumirani explained. ""He has people around him that can temper the vainglory and direct him toward a real goal. I think, your majesty, that there is a real communist revolution going on in Uganda.""<br/><br/>Azima sunk. ""That is what we need. Revolutions.""<br/><br/>""Well, if it helps, we can say for certain that this revolution isn't going to be friendly to Spain. I think it is fitting that, when the Spanish invaded to liberate us from imagined communists, they made real ones.""<br/><br/>She stood up and went to the edge of the deck, looking out at the ancient stonework of the embassy's walls, and the wizened trees and slanted rooftops of suburban Beijing that showed above those walls. The tree-tops were a vivid and powerful green. Heavy grey clouds were rolling in from the northwest, and the leaves in the trees rattled in a cool wind, accented by the growing franticness of the wind-chimes. The scene was perfectly calm, but Azima could not absorb it.<br/><br/>""This is the news then; my husband is standing against an invasion. My sister-in-law is facing what looks like imprisonment in Tanganyika because of an accusation of alliance breaking, and in all of this a real Communist revolution is fomenting. Our ally in this country is Hou, isn't it? If so that cannot be good. He is not a healthy man. He can barely walk, and he is giving his power away because of it."" she stopped when she realized she had started to pace. She looked Fulumirani straight in the eye. ""What are our chances with his successors?"" <br/><br/>""They haven't chose a successor yet."" Fulumirani explained. ""The Chinese have this way of playing at an election. The Party chooses some candidates they can accept, powerful party members trade deals and make alliances in the background to determine who has a chance and who does not, and then when all is said and done they let the people vote for one of their choices, even though there really isn't a choice per see and the entire thing is to make them feel progressive of democratic. At least in theory this is how it works. This is the first time their system has been put to the test. At this point, there are many candidates for the position, but the only ones with any significant inter-party support seems to be Zhang Auyi and Mang Xhu. Now Auyi, he's young, he was just a foot soldier during the revolution, and what little rhetoric I've heard from him suggests he'd follow in Hou's footsteps. But this Xhu, he's something else. A to-the-letter Marxist, hardliner, one of Hou's generation. I don't think he could, begging your pardon, choke down monarchy as easily as Hou or Auyi.""<br/><br/>She bristled at the words <span class=""bb-i"">'Choke down monarchy'</span>, but she said nothing about. ""Mang Xhu. If there were a way to neutralize him politically...""<br/><br/>Fulumirani cocked his eyebrows. ""For Africans? No, we are just visitors in this country.""<br/><br/>""Rhetorically even. Could I speak against him tomorrow?""<br/><br/>""No, your majesty."" Fulumirani explained calmly. ""This is not Africa. Here the word of a Queen means nothing. If a foreign visitor started complaining about Chinese politicians, all that would come of it is distrust of the foreigner. But there is a political tool."" The ambassador pulled a piece of paper from the middle of the pile and gracefully handed it to her. She read it, and her eyes went wide as she scanned the page.<br/><br/>""Portugal has declared war on Ethiopia."" the words fell out of her mouth.<br/><br/>""This is a good thing.""<br/><br/>""No no."" she waved him off. ""I see it. Another European power goes to Africa. The third one this year. Portugal gave us the pattern."" the word they both had in mind was on her lips, but she left it unspoken.<br/><br/>Fulumirani nodded slowly. ""This will be to your advantage when you meet with the National Congress tomorrow. You can't speak directly about their political processes, but you can paint the picture of resurgent colonialism."" he said the word, and she felt the weight of it take its place between them. ""Remind them the Portuguese still refuse to recognize Chinese sovereignty in Macau.""<br/><br/>""We should work on a speech."" she said. In her mind, she was secretly thanking the Portuguese. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>She rode in the back of a tasteful black four-door sedan, with tinted windows so nobody could see inside. Fulumirani drove, and the taciturn ambassador said little, leaving the Queen to lean her head against the window and stare out at the Chinese capital.<br/><br/>There were some things about Beijing that made the national matron in her jealous. It was a city of tightly compacted and neatly stacked neighborhoods. They were cut by a grid of wide avenues, along which were the offices and small shops where the people in the housing blocks were employed. It had surprised Azima to find active shops in a nation she had been told practiced communism, and it took a person no less than Hou to straighten out the embarrassed Queen on how commerce worked in the Red empire. ""<span class=""bb-i"">A worker selling his production, or a merchant who purchases the production of a worker wholesale and then resells it, are not against the philosophy of communism. It is the ownership of the means of production by the bosses that we forbid.</span>"" She had to admit that, despite how anxious her exile in this place felt, she could see the charm which had made Yaqob the sinophile that he was. Life here was so clean and certain. It had none of the flash and brilliance of the European civilization she had seen glances of from her homeland, and the people lived humbler lives than even some of the capitalist middle class in Addis Ababa, but Hou had managed to secure them a peace and stability that was certainly missing in the rest of the world.<br/><br/>They reached the widest avenue in the city. It was lined with pruned trees and wide enough for six cars, three going east and three going west, to fit parallel on the street at once. The streetlights wore long orange banners with red stars at their center. The architecture along this route was the traditional slanted roofs with shining red or blue tiles, and the paint on the walls made many look like they were made from playfully glossed clay. There was a modernity to them as well, present in the proud cement columns and glass windows which had spread from the west and conquered all the world's style. <br/><br/>She watched the Chinese cars go by. These things she did not envy. People who have an interest in cars often pointed to the Polish automobiles, with their utilitarian designs and clunky potato-like styles, as the worst the world had to offer. China was not far behind them in this. They preferred the small and the sharp-edged over the more gaudy styles of the western capitalists. But the traffic in the Chinese capital was much greater than what she had seen at home, and soon even their ugly cars become a detail to envy due to their number.<br/><br/>Off of the main avenue was a complex of some political pomp. A series of buildings in a more exaggerated Chinese style dominated several blocks, and at its core was an especially large horseshoe structure wrapped around a stone-brick plaza. The car was greeted by a guard who had been expecting them, and he let them pass. They sunk into the dark bowels of the garage. A valet met them at the elevator and took their car to park it. She felt a twinge of nerves when the door to the elevator began its ascent into the congressional hall.<br/><br/>Fulumirani glanced at her. ""You look nervous, your majesty.""<br/><br/>""This is a new experience for me."" she said.<br/><br/>Fulumirani looked forward and nodded. ""These men might hold the greatest power on our earth, but most of them are toothless when you meet them face to face. Some are literally toothless.""<br/><br/>""There is a lot at stake."" she replied, keeping her calm.<br/><br/>The elevator opened to a bevy of Chinese politicians in a hallway with red cedar paneling and a red carpet. The ceiling and trim was ornate and reminded her of flowers. Of the politicians, there were men and women, young and old, all dressed conservatively and smiling. She guessed twenty or so were gathered here, but she did not stop to count. There was a man leading the rest. He was older, with a sparse hairline receded to the back of his head and skin textured like old leather. Azima caught herself peaking into his smiling mouth to see if he had any teeth.<br/><br/>""Comrade Azima, I have the pleasure to be Wen Xiaogang, Secretary of Congress."" the old man said, following up with a stiff Asian bow. ""Congress had anticipated your visit all week.""<br/><br/>She put on a smile. ""I am honored by the opportunity."" she said. It would be politics from now on until she left the building.<br/><br/>""These are the friends of Africa."" Xiaogang motioned to the politicians gathered around him. ""They represent a bloc in congress that supports your country's war effort..."" she felt instantly grateful for those friendly faces when she learned who they were, and it magnified the shame she felt when the Secretary began naming them. They had names that sounded like the sound bullets make when they ricochet off of water. She couldn't remember so many fed to her at once, and the bitter thought crossed her mind that her husband wouldn't have any trouble with it. If he were here, he would remember each one in turn and greet them each by name with a soft voice and a hand shake. All Azima could do is acknowledge as each politician bowed when the Secretary named them.<br/><br/>""And this man is Ma Jingsong. He is the leader of the Intervention faction."" Xiaogang motioned to a happy man with charcoal-grey hair and a small pair of glasses hanging on his nose. <br/><br/>""A pleasure to meet all of you."" she said, and when Jingsong bowed his bow, she responded with an accepting nod.<br/><br/>""We have been speaking about the Portuguese declaration of war."" Jingsong said. He had a hoarse, airy voice that did not fit his friendly disposition. ""They have not yet declared war on China, but things are moving quickly here despite this.""<br/><br/>The group moved through the halls like a blood clot with Azima at its core. ""Then a declaration of war against Portugal is already in the works?"" she asked.<br/><br/>Xiaogang responded this time. ""It looks like it will happen today. But you will have to excuse me now. I must make it to the chamber to prepare for your arrival."" he gave another bow and power-walked down the corridor, leaving Azima with Fulumirani, Jingsong, and a bunch of names she couldn't remember.<br/><br/>""Ambassador Fulumirani and I think that Portugal will add weight to the argument that this is a war of colonialism."" the Queen said.<br/><br/>""Yes. Yes."" Jingsong repeated. ""We have came to the same conclusion. That argument will have weight, but we have been using it since the war began. It is a tired line. We have found it only truly effects the nations of Indochina, and the places once occupied by Japan. To someone not from the coast, Colonialism is a matter of academic opinion."" his eyes lit up and he blurted out. ""Ah! Here we are.""<br/><br/>They stopped in front of a double door guarded by two men in the outfit of Beijing's police. ""This is the entrance to our section of the congressional floor. Before we go through, I want to know if you are ready.""<br/><br/>She took a focused breath. Here it was, the moment of reckoning. ""Lead, Mr. Ma"" she said. He did as he was bid, and the sound of the room came tumbling from the door as soon as it was opened. It was the proud drone of orchestral music accompanied by the proud voices of a men's choir. As they proceeded, Azima noticed a few things all at once. They were flanked on all sides by seated politicians. She had been taken in the back-way, which partially offended her at first, but the circumstances were too overwhelming for that feeling to stick. She also noticed that there was no band, and the music being played came from speakers on walls all across the room. At the far end, Xiaogang was enthroned upon the Dais at a desk. Orange and red curtains hung nobly at the back wall. As they found seats, she noticed a second story gallery above them that was also filled with politicians. At first she assumed one of the congressmen had given her a seat, but as she looked over the room she realized there was more seating than there was people.<br/><br/>When the martial music died, the room began to stir. Every sound in the room was pronounced, echoing as if they were in a cave or a great marble tomb. Congressional Secretary Xiaogang pounded a gavel and its snaps quieted the human tumult. He only spoke once they were silent.<br/><br/>""Before we continue our business, Congress will hear the Embassy from the Pan-African Empire."" he finally said in a blunt, stately manner. Everything focused on her in a moment, and she found herself crossing the red-carpeted floor to the polite applause of a room half-full of foreigners unknown to her. She kept her poise and tried not to let herself be visibly overawed. Out of the corner of her eye, she could tell that Fulumirani had no such qualms. He walked as relaxed as if this were a morning stroll in the forest. When she reached the podium, she could feel all of the eyes and cameras focused on her. The applause continued, and she used it as an opportunity to take all of her natural doubts and bury them within. On the outside, she looked comfortable playing her part. She waited for the polite applause to subside, and then she spoke.<br/><br/>""Today I stand before a body that brought revolution to the oppressed peoples of Asia, and I praise you for that contribution. Your historic struggle against foreign oppressors inspires the educated men and women of Africa to emulate you. This is true for Ethiopia, and for South Africa, and soon it will be true for Mozambique and Angola as Portugal joins in on the division of a free continent. New European powers approach Africa every month to steal its resources, and they embolden the colonizing spirit of the old masters of the globe. Belgium, in 1970, fought a desperate war against the native peoples of the Congo that left one million casualties on the Congolese side. In 1974 Germany took the torch of that colonizing spirit on behalf of Belgium and attempted to resteal this land. It was the government of my husband, Yaqob, who prevented this evil. The spirit of the colonizers are held back by brave men such as him, and much like those who sit here in congress and recall their service to the Revolution that saved China.""<br/><br/>Public speaking wasn't in her blood like it was for her husband, and she began to read the words from the paper without committing them. She spoke of the history of Africa, and recounted reports from the war. Tunnel vision developed. When she finally reached the last paragraph, the light at the end of the tunnel became apparent, and her voice picked up.<br/><br/>""What I urge now, for the health of my people and for the entire world that has known the touch of the colonizing spirit, is intervention with no delay. Every moment the European armies have to establish themselves represents the blood of suffering Africans, and future blood and suffering for those nations that have decided to face this issue with arms. There is no time. You can ask the Tuaregs of the Sahara, or the people of Djibouti, what happens when you wait and debate while the colonizing spirit advances and entrenched. You can ask the victims of Unit 731. They will give you the same answer. Action, not caution, is needed in times of immediate danger. I leave you today with an omen; if this congress fails to act now, the revolution started by its distinguished members will be brought down by the colonizing spirit of Spain, Portugal, Britain, and all the nations that join them.""<br/><br/>She stepped down from the dais to the sound of a scattered applause, but there was an accompanying stir that made her feel uncertain. When she reached her seat, a congressman scuttled over and handed Fulumirani a note. He read it and cocked an eyebrow before turning it over to her.<br/><br/>""Auyi."" she said.<br/><br/>""Interesting."" Fulumirani answered. <br/><br/></div>"
22243,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-05-01 04:32:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tianjin</div><br/><br/>The sound of the cold ocean waves rolled onto shore. Washing rocks and stones in dark gray ocean water as the Bohai sea retreated, slowly peeling back the sand before pushing more out into its place. Gulls flew overhead cawing annoyed as below two African children chased each other across the soft brown sand in the summer sunlight. Not too far behind a guard – relieved of a weapon but all the same in his army greens – kept up with the royal children.<br/><br/>The eldest, a pitch-black African child from the heart of the Congo chased along the sand a scurrying crab that tried to keep a inch ahead of the child. Hou thought for a moment, trying to remember the child's name. It was something foreign, he knew. Oliver. That was his name. Oliver missing the one arm. As he had been told Yaqob's sister Taytu had adopted the child, who had been left parent-less and without an arm when Hassan had quashed an anarchist rebellion in the Congo.<br/><br/>And chasing behind him was the much lighter, and year younger heir apparent to the African Empire. Oliver raced behind his adopted cousin. A slender imp of a child with a wild Ethiopian fro. Hou wondered just how much the African youth knew what was going on. But he – like Oliver – was laughing all the same.<br/><br/>To his curiosity and relief neither ventured too close to the waves. A fear of the water he suspected from their near-death at sea. This left the concern of those present at how soon the soldier chasing after them could hold up running through the sand as he shouted in Chinese at the two to be careful. Neither of them could understand no doubt. But Oliver was too interested in the crab to care.<br/><br/>“They're energetic kids.” a congressman pointed out, seated alongside Hou as the two men reclined back in wooden lawn chairs the security staff had dragged out.<br/><br/>Hou was too old and  too feeble on his feet to stand after his stroke. Even with a cane he did not imagine he could hold himself up. Legs crossed together and with the brim of a white panama hat shading his eyes he watched from under his low wrinkled brow as the royal children played on foreign shores.<br/><br/>The Congressman was Wo Bao, an uncommitted leader from Shanxi. He was old, like Hou. Underneath his own summer hat, short thinning hair hung in loose wayward strands. A similarly unshaven mustache clung to an upper lip that hang just a little too far out from his face. Between the two a small crate sat as a pedestal for one of the new transistor radios, a long series of chords that ran up and onto the deck kept it plugged in as the small shoe-box sized appliance played <a href=""https://youtu.be/R0shsRmSxLI"" rel=""nofollow noopener"" target=""_blank"">delicate traditional music.</a><br/><br/>“As all youths are.” Hou responded in a thin dry voice.<br/><br/>“The tea is good too, I appreciate the lemons as well.” comrade Bao praised.<br/><br/>Hou only nodded, laughing a little as the two kids suddenly broke their usual course and ran the other way, spilling the soldier into the sand as he turned all to sharply to catch up. The two had split up and were looking back laughing at him. They thought he was playing tag with them now. Distantly Hou heard his spit and sputter as he quickly brushed sand out his short black hair and quickly scooped his green cap up off the beach to chase the two.<br/><br/>“How have you not given your family a new generation of its own?” Bao asked, making polite conversation.<br/><br/>The question stung Hou and he turned and shot Bao a cold hard stare. “That's something I don't discuss.” he said, disapprovingly sour.<br/><br/>“Ah, forgive me, comrade.” Bao tumbled, giving the chairman as much of a bow he could from his reclined position, “But if may ask, why is it I'm here? Surely to not watch some black emperor's kids with you.”<br/><br/>Hou grunted unsympathetically, “What do you think of Auyi?” he asked in a dry voice.<br/><br/>“He is a dreamer, that is for sure.” Bao said, “But politics isn't for dreamers, it's for pragmatic realists.”<br/><br/>“So is the nature of many things in life, comrade. But if politics is not for dreamers why then did you fight in the Revolution?”<br/><br/>“Because the Revolution was a realistic inevitability.” Bao smiled, sipping his tea.<br/><br/>“Then unlike some, you would disagree with the notion the Revolution was not a mission of dreamers?”<br/><br/>“The Revolution certainly was not,” Bao chuckled, “it would have happened eventually, even if destroyed. China needed heroes to save it from its corruption. If I had died fighting my sons would have fought again in the next generation and the inevitability of Revolution would have succeeded.”<br/><br/>“Then what about the world, is it realistic to believe it might soon undergo Revolution?”<br/><br/>Bao stopped to consider the question. He and the retiring Grand Secretary exchanged silent thoughtful stares. “Yes.” he answered.<br/><br/>“How will it be done?” Hou asked.<br/><br/>Bao considered, “I do not know.”<br/><br/>“Then what area is left for their to judge on whether or not Auyi is a realist or a dreamer if you can not say which way the world shall achieve Revolution if you yourself don't know?”<br/><br/>“All I know is when something's time comes: it will come.” Bao answered back.<br/><br/>Hou nodded and turned back to watching the royal children run circles around the guard. He had resigned to starring lost and helpless down at the two tireless imps. Looking up and seeking help from the others loitering nearby he was only greeted by unhelpful laughter at his plight.<br/><br/>“I will give you a realistic outcome if you support Auyi,” Hou began, “and that is even when I am gone from the office in Beijing I will still command the Party. I can make assurances to you that I can help your merit and standing within the party. I can see to your advancement, or influence it either way.<br/><br/>“I can make you more qualified to be a minister, or Grand Secretary yourself someday. You may perhaps sit on Politburo if all else fails.”<br/><br/>Bao turned to him, surprised. “Are we trading horses?” he asked, stunned. He never figured Hou for that sort of person.<br/><br/>“We're not trading horses, we're discussing your future. Will you promise to raise your hand for Auyi and rally your people to him? I'm only asking.”<br/><br/>Bao leaned to the side, resting his arm on the side of the lawn chair. He licked his chin and scanned the beach and the rolling waves on the sand. Suddenly downing his entire cup of warm tea he sighed heavily and said, “Why not.” he laughed, “Auyi will have my name.”<br/><br/>“You're a man of realistic virtue.” Hou complimented him, not turning to look at him, “You're dismissed.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Dalian</div><br/><br/>There hung in the room a heavy moody silence as minister Zhang Auyi stood starring up at a large replica of a Japanese destroyer. It wasn't a 1:1 model per say, but was large enough all the same to fill the warehouse sized room. All the while clambering over it, and scuttling over the decks child's-toy sized doll replicas of revolutionary and Japanese soldiers alike did frozen battle from small fishing boats butted up against the steel hull of the Imperial warship and climbed aboard.<br/><br/>Frozen in time by resin and paper, smoke billowed from the deck as glass fires illuminated by twinkling lights illuminated the wood deck of the ship. Standing just beyond arm's reach from the entire display that floated in a shallow pool of water Auyi observed the meticulous dramatization of a scene from the liberation of the port of Dalian from Japanese forces.<br/><br/>It could hardly be called accurate. But it was in a way a modern terracotta army. But instead of leading a dead emperor in the after-life it kept alive a certain flame of memory of the not-to-distant revolution. The figurines who hung, stood, lay, and screamed frozen in the not-so-miniature memorial had a certain child-like quality to it. Like it was something a creative boy would have dreamed up in an afternoon, but painted over in an adult veneer that straddled the more propaganda side of art.<br/><br/>Hanging not too far off a small number of pressmen stood taking pictures or waiting for him to turn and say some smart words about the revolution. Perhaps give praise. But his visit to the museum memorial of the battle – as built by the city – was not orchestrated to make a speech per-say but to make a polite show.<br/><br/>He had with him a handful of middle-aged veterans of the battle, most not much older than he was. They and the tour-guide, an older portly woman traded stories in hushed breaths about the battle.<br/><br/>“This was the last engagement comrade Yan Sing commanded,” proudly boasted an old soldier, his face scarred with his fair share of shrapnel and burn wounds. But he wore them proud as he smiled, recounting the day through yellow teeth.<br/><br/>“In conjuncture with the capture and destruction of Unit 731, he ordered our mixed revolutionary battalions to corner the Japanese navy while it was docked at port and cut down the Imperials!” he continued to boast, hushed. A ways away, a few journalists attempted to write down what he was saying. Perhaps it was important, or would be later. Perhaps it'd be well-received by the editors and they wouldn't have to re-write the visit for content; or lack there-of.<br/><br/>It had been Auyi's campaign manager's idea. A solemn visit to a memorial in a humble show of piety to the state. A sort of pilgrimage, if cheapened by a presentation that lacked classical restraint or ancient humility. It was idolatrous, and very much so. But no one could complain. It was their story in this city.<br/><br/>“We praise Sing for his ability to have acquired information!” the guide said, “It was through him that the Revolutionary Army acquired the intel to know when the bulk of the navy would be on dry land. Near to half the Japanese navy were in port-side bars at the time, half-drunk by the time the first shots fired. Others more in their barracks, resting. The rest were in their ships, but not enough to save them from the uprising in the streets.” she pointed down to the small recreation fishing boats, to one where a scene of its own was playing out; a soldier wounded in the face being cared for by his comrade as another readied to throw a grenade onto the Japanese decks, “Early the previous day, agents of the Revolutionary Army had acquired local fishing ships, and built small rafts to paddle out and surround ships still in the bay at the time and boarded.”<br/><br/>“Fascinating.” Auyi said, feigning being impressed. He looked up to the side where he saw his manager Chen Wu scurry half into view. Turning to his company he bowed politely and said, “Excuse me.”<br/><br/>Turning away from the exhibit he felt a little relief that he no longer had to look over something for so long it'd convince the hawks that followed him that he cared for things. While he himself was a veteran, the liberation of Dalian was simply not his battle. His were in the inland, among the hills and battles. And while he drove the supply trains and rarely saw the fights first-hand, he all the same could not feel nearly as attached as those fellow comrades who fought here. And perhaps after this they could move to another exhibit and he can silently judge another penny exhibit.<br/><br/>“Chen Wu.” Auyi greeted his manager in a hushed tone.<br/><br/>“Auyi,” he nodded, I reached out a hand and gently led the minister off to the side, keeping their backs turned to the press, “I have a probable opportunity for you, if you want to jump on it.” he invited.<br/><br/>“Is it another county museum trip?” Auyi asked irritably.<br/><br/>“No, not quite. My friends in Beijing have confirmed that Empress Azima of Ethiopia is presently meeting with Congress, or giving a speech to the Congress to petition them over Africa. It won't be long until Mang Xhu hears of it, and I think it would be expedient if we tried to reach and meet with her first before he does. It would look good if you sit with her and talk about your foreign policy.<br/><br/>“It could...” he stopped to shrug, “It could bolster credentials if you can at least talk to her.”<br/><br/>“Ethiopia has no power here though.” Auyi admitted, “I don't think anyone is going to listen to the endorsement of a foreign monarch.”<br/><br/>“We're not asking for one.” he said, “At the best you could sit with her and work on details. Or simply hear her out. If we plan for the future like this, start taking pre-emptive steps as if you are a leader, then maybe we can inspire confidence in your campaign. We could be implying we are confident and leading, take a leading step.<br/><br/>“Failing that, you could play it off as a visit from your own ministry.”<br/><br/>Auyi nodded. He ran his hand through his thick black hair. “Alright, how fast can you set it up?” he asked, wanting more to try and deny Xhu something. Even though he might use her to hawkishly promote revolution through war in Africa.<br/><br/>“We'll see, she's protected by Hou directly but if I can get a message to her while she's still in the capital I might be able to deal with her directly.”<br/><br/>“Very well. Do it, and do it quick.”<br/><br/>Chen Wu gave a delicate mousy bow. Righting his enormous glasses on his stubbed nose he turned and scuttled off for a telephone. Auyi sighed, as he played with the white cuffs of his suit.<br/><br/>“Forgive me for the distraction.” he smiled wide as he turned back to the group he was slated to tour with, “Where were we?”<br/><br/>The tour guide lifted her arm and lead him away from the mock battle for the ship. “The next piece in the museum is a ink-painted horizontal scroll, depicting Revolutionary soldiers seizing control of a local bar full of on-leave Japanese sailors.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Surgut</div><br/><br/>It had been a couple weeks since the train that had entered town had exploded. Since then orders had hardly changed. Huei Wen had kept the forces of Quan Yun-qi in place. So much so that the command itself was beginning to suspect it was because of the train that forced Wen to keep them there. Should the Russians, or a Russian force seize control and outflank the Chinese it would spell a certain failure in the campaign and disorientation.<br/><br/>The wreck had been cleaned up, peace moved from the tracks and the damages were undergoing repairs. The plentiful injured moved to hospitals and the dead returned home. But responding to what had happened was not yet finished.<br/><br/>But the city was behind Tsien Huang as he sat over the bed of a truck, idly drumming a stick against his knee. His olive fatigues hung loose and puffed from under the tight straps of a armored breastplate. The hard metal plate matching the color of his dress, a flat matte green drab. Resting across his back the two thick tanks of his flamethrower hung against his shoulders. The thick padded tube wrapped and curled down to the working end of the weapon, silent in its waiting.<br/><br/>With him at the road-side a handful of men sat and stood about waiting. Some leaned against the cold rusting posts of the electrical and telephone masts that marched between the road they presided over and the train tracks. Or rather, where the tracks had once been.<br/><br/>Days earlier they had passed through, tearing up from the Earth the tracks and the entire rails for a hundred yards down in both lanes. The measure was taken as a strict security measure. Ultimately: it cut Surgut off from the rest of Russia. The only lines in were the roads and the river. All else around the town was thick forest, thick with young and old pines and gnarled leafy bushes hiding deep sandy ruts.<br/><br/>But the road was clear, for miles down its length Huang could look down its length and see nothing but vast emptiness and cracked asphalt. For a time there had been light traffic, but the few days he had been sent to check on checkpoints all had been reported dead. For all intents and purposes it would seem: the town of Surgut was forgotten by the rest of Russia.<br/><br/>For now, it wasn't to watch the road. For whichever the reason Huang and his men were out waiting for orders to be relayed to them over their radios. One such lay on the truck bed behind him.<br/><br/>“My girlfriend back home is begging me to get out of the army alive so we can marry,” a soldier said with a laughing half-smile. He played with the shoulder-straps of his assault rifle as he leaned against one of the many thousand telephone poles running along the route. “She's afraid too as soon as we're done here I'll be pushed off to Africa to fight the Spanish.”<br/><br/>“Well are you?” his conversation partner asked.<br/><br/>“Well sure!” the other laughed, “She has great breasts, who wouldn't want to marry that?” he laughed, clapping his hands together once before adding, “Besides, if it happens she wants to get busy right away. And with how little action I got up here I'll happily oblige my lack there-of on her if she'll be the first to spread her legs.”<br/><br/>“And what, fucking leave her before you go to Africa?”<br/><br/>“If I go to Africa.”<br/><br/>“Well whatever. So besides ploughing your girl senseless to knock her up for sure. What would you do when you got out?”<br/><br/>“What sort of question is that?” the soldier laughed, “Back at the farm, like my father and his before him.” he cackled, “Don't think I got any assurances to any other future. It's why I got in here. At least I get to do something else other than farm sunflower.”<br/><br/>The one who had asked the question snorted, “Why even leave?” he shrugged, “At least you're not so tense.”<br/><br/>“What'll you be doing then, Ho?” Huang asked suddenly, forcing himself into the conversation. His voice was low and level. Straight to its point.<br/><br/>The man shrugged, “I don't know, always thought about leaving the city.” he said with a smile, “Tianjin, I never really liked it.”<br/><br/>“So what brought you into the military?”<br/><br/>“Lottery, I got drafted.” Ho snorted dismissively.<br/><br/>“So what are you going to do when you get out?” asked the man who was thumbing his weapon's straps.<br/><br/>Ho looked over at him with a heavy sharp graze. He stopped tapping his stick against his knee and gave it a brief thoughtful silence. “I don't know.”<br/><br/>“You don't know?” the young man said, shocked.<br/><br/>“I don't know.” Huang repeated, “I never thought about leaving. I assume I'll keep going until I die. Otherwise I go back to herding goats.”<br/><br/>“See, I wouldn't mind that.” commented Ho. Huang snorted disapprovingly.<br/><br/>From behind the radio beeped. Huang turned around and snatched it from the deck. Throwing on the headset he talked into it. “Tsien Huang here.” he answered.<br/><br/>“Your orders are clear.” the radio said, “As we gave you at your debrief, take your squad down the tracks and search them out. Your operations commander is Tong Hu who will be following you. The winds are in position and will be assisting you on your flanks. Investigate down the rail to the old imperial rail town, check the tracks on the way down for hostile activity and recon the junction site and identify any possible future threats as happened prior.” operations command reported in.<br/><br/>“You're clear, we'll carry it out.” Tsien Huang said dryly. They were on the move, but looking at the broken segment of rail it was clear they wouldn't have any means of traveling the hundred-mile walk by foot. “Do we have any new intel on the target position?” he pried.<br/><br/>“No we don't. All we can tell you is the name is Nicolasgrad, must have been built to service the intersecting railroads.<br/><br/>“Stay in touch with the best of your abilities and report in when you arrive.”<br/><br/>“Copy that, Tsien Huang out.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Kostroma Oblast</div><br/><br/>The sun set on another day. Wheezing from outside a choked engine spasm'd between fitful life and fruitless death. At times sounding like thunder. At other times pattering silent, barely audible through the windows Ullanhu sat at, starring out with tepid concern. While Vasiliy had gotten it to start again, seemingly on scraps it wasn't going anywhere else fast and the Chinese agent was tempted to suggest to just take the tires on this vehicle and attach them to their old one. But he was buried so deep in his words, he was afraid the Russian was stubbornly deep in his work and insistence he could revive it.<br/><br/>It would be more than safe to suggest as Ullanhu sat at the kitchen table of the dead man's farmhouse he had his doubts. Was his partner's sacrifice of the old car necessary to get here? Was he just paranoid to think he had to switch vehicles so often? Would it have really mattered to either of them if they just entered towns and not meander lost in the country?<br/><br/>President Alexander Belyakov sat tied into a chair. There was little trust between he and Vasiliy and his sour glowering face wasn't shy to that point. The times Vasiliy came back in he shot him a low grumbling look. Per Ullanhu, his opinion of their prisoner was now just resigned. And maybe the feeling was mutual.<br/><br/>While he was kept in the middle of the house, sat up so as to be seen from anywhere Ullanhu stood the Chinese agent had went about trying to make the place livable. They wouldn't be there for a while, but after dragging the corpse of its former inhabitant out to deal with it there was a lingering smell that the Mongol fought to suppress. It was his only attempt at achieving a normal state here. Back home, in the Mongolian IB offices he had kept his work station immaculate. To many of the military officers there it was his shining trait, the final end result he believed was what all drill sergeants wanted. It wasn't something he did by distressing compulsion so much as it was always boredom.<br/><br/>“Makulov.” Belyakov spoke.<br/><br/>Ullanhu stirred. “Excuse me?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Makulov, is that who you're taking me to?” he repeated. The president's face was pale and frowning but met Ullanhu's gaze with a solid stony gaze.<br/><br/>Ullanhu didn't know how to respond, or what to ask as he look at him from the window seat. He felt his chest constrict nervously as he fumbled his fingers across the table surface to his lap. “That is who.” Belyakov said again, “It took me awhile to ponder, but I figured in the end I have a fifty-fifty shot at guessing who I'm going to.<br/><br/>“Even if I'm not going to Makulov, I would in the end much rather be in the possession of someone else.” Belyakov finally admitted.<br/><br/>“What makes you think that?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>“Because I know I'll be safer with anyone but Makulov.” answered the president.<br/><br/>“No, who it is we're taking you to.”<br/><br/>The president sighed and nodded. He craned his head back to stare at the ceiling for a moment and shifted uncomfortably against the binds that held him to the chair. “Because if it were anyone else but the two parties I'm thinking of I'd be dead.” he repeated, “And we're going east, that much I can tell. A little too north, the air is colder.” Belyakov laughed as he turned his head down and met Ullanhu's gaze again.<br/><br/>“Don't look too surprised [i]comrade[i].” he said, sneering around the word 'comrade', “I know these things, I was once a youth scout in better days.” he smiled nostalgically, “I spent a great deal of time in the north woods. I recognize the cold, sharp, crispness of their summers.”<br/><br/>“Fascinating.” Ullanhu remarked, pretending to humor the man.<br/><br/>Belyakov chortled, “I also learned duty to Russia, but that's another topic all together.<br/><br/>“But as I said, if it weren't the two I suspect things would be very different. Political enemies in the Republic I'd be dead in my apartments. If it were the damnable Mafiya I'd be strung up on a poll and set on fire. The Cossacks, maybe I'd be dragged behind one of their horses until I succumbed and died.<br/><br/>“I had a lot of time to think about this when I took charge. A government minister was found burned the moment I tried to crack down on the Mafiya, it's how I thought I would go if they ever reached me. But I'm alive, which leads me to two suspicions: Makulov wants me, or the Chinese do.”<br/><br/>“What about the Siberians?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>“The Siberians are a Chinese puppet.” Belyakov scowled, “Nikolov doesn't jump until Beijing tells him too. That much I know about the man.<br/><br/>“But to see a Chinese agent possibly helping Makulov: that is a treat.” he added, laughing, “Why are you here? To lend support skill? From what I can tell the two of you aren't very adept. Were you two fall-guys? Selected to fail on purpose for some ghosts to disappear into the night and you two just got lucky?” he scowled.<br/><br/>“I don't know anything about that.” Ullanhu remarked.<br/><br/>“Of course you wouldn't.” Belyakov gave a resigned sigh and hung his head. He stirred silently for a brief moment before looking back up, “Makulov's dangerous.” he said.<br/><br/>“How so?”<br/><br/>“No one knows what he's going to do.” Belyakov answered, “He's a traitor to the old ways, suggests he doesn't hang his loyalties on something very long. Even when I was an imperial magistrate I heard rumors about him. That he was a bleeding heart liberal, an anarchist, or some other trite horse-shit.” he spat, and went on, “Wasn't much different from most I assumed. But the moment came and he dropped his hat; don't know why.” he straightened himself as he went on: “So if a Chinese man is helping a Russian traitor and his phantom army, then I guess the Chinese want Makulov in their back pocket. But how long will it be until Beijing upsets his world view and he turns on you too?”<br/><br/>“Why does it matter?” Ullanhu asked. He didn't know where the president was going with this and wanted to know. For curiosity sake, and to report back to headquarters all the same.<br/><br/>But Belyakov refused to answer. He returned to a distant silent demeanor as he looked over to the window and watched the setting sun cast long beams of orange light across golden stalks of waving fluffy grass. It almost looked like wheat.<br/><br/>“Makulov won't be able to protect me.” he added solemnly, “And if he can I suspect he wants me as a bargaining chip against the National Duma. But the Duma doesn't care for me, I was already on weak footing as it was. There was talk about indicting me on conspiracy charges. But you two stole me before they could do it. Now they'll be fighting the army over who gets to see out the rest of my term. The assistant president, or their friend the prime-minister?<br/><br/>“No, he'll probably find me a useless venture when Republican politics comes to light and I'll be tossed out with the garbage.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">Comrade</span>,” he said, appealing to Ullanhu but not without sneering the word between his teeth, “If you have any power in you to do it, I would much rather be surrendered to the Chinese. I would feel safer in their custody over Makulov's. And I would surrender what I know to Beijing if it keeps me from being spit-roasted in a prison fight.”<br/><br/>Ullanhu knew what it was he was referring to, but felt the grave weight of what the man was asking from him sink into his stomach. He was effectively going to turn on Makulov and Vasiliy if he followed through on it.<br/><br/>Turning to the window to see the last pale violet light of the setting sun Ullanhu bit on his lip, “I'll see what I can do.” he said weakly, hoping their return to the Urals would make whatever decision easy or automatic.<br/><br/>What was going on in the east, he wondered?</div>"
22244,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-05-03 04:25:00,Byrd Man,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><span class=""bb-b"">Sun City, Arizona</span><br/><br/>Sun City Mayor Tom Clark felt flutters in his stomach. The elevator shot up past floors. His bodyguard, Officer Melvin Brown, close by. A single sheriff's deputy served as sole protective detail. He wanted it that way. Mayor Jerry Hill, his predecessor, had a huge detail. Two dozen cops in black suits with black ties, black shirts, and black shoes. They formed a mini Praetorian Guard. Lines blurred. They became more secret police than protection. They muscled the mayor's enemies. They tapped phones. They shook down wealthy Arizonans for contributions to the Hill slush fund. Tom's very first act as mayor: Destroy the protection detail, shatter it into a thousand pieces. Cops on the detail were fired outright or given a chance to quietly retire and take half pensions. Brown was his main protection against a would-be assassin. Tom supplemented it with a .38 detective special he kept in a shoulder rig. His suit coat was baggy enough to hide the piece. Two years since he resigned from the sheriff's department and he still carried heat. Old habits died hard.<br/><br/>The elevator dinged. The doors slid open. He stepped out into the Lucky Gent's penthouse suite. Evidence of a party's aftermath all around him. Empty glasses on the floor, articles of clothing covered couches, empty liquor bottles stuffed into a plant pot, a used rubber hung on a lampshade, coke residue scattered on a coffee table. Naked call girls sleeping on the floor. His head felt light. Dizziness came and went. The sights made him woozy. <br/><br/>He found them outside on the balcony. County Sheriff Scott Andrews, County Administrator Hubert Perkins, DA Carl Hull, and US Senator Rod Marston. Andrews, Perkins, and Hull wore suits, Marston wore a bathrobe and slippers. The four wolfed down breakfast food, bacon and eggs with hash browns, coffee, and booze. They stopped when Tom stepped out.<br/><br/>""Mr. Mayor,"" said Marston. ""Have a seat, have a seat. I hope you don't mind we went ahead and started breakfast without you.""<br/><br/>Hull said, ""We figured you weren't coming.""<br/><br/>Andrews winked, ""Six months since your election and you still haven't showed up to our little breakfast pow-wows. Where is the love, Tommy?""<br/><br/>Tom waved Brown inside the suite while he took a seat at the table. Tom and Hull were the city powers, Perkins and Andrews held the county power. Marston towered above them all with his hands on state and federal money. The monthly meeting between the municipal powers was where Marston held court. He lorded his power over the other pols like he did to the state gaming commission and the casino mobsters. Nobody in Arizona did anything without Rod Marston approving and getting his cut.  <br/><br/>Marston dabbed his mouth with a napkin and said, ""Regardless, he's here now and he is a very welcome presence. Mayor Hill was a valued member of our little meetings, and I hope Tom continues the good work of the former mayor.""<br/><br/>They spieled while room service sent up a plate of food for Tom. Perkins cracked racist jokes. Marston regaled the men with last night's exploits. He did hookers three at a time while coked out of his mind. Tom's food came on a tray with beer and booze. Andrews and Hull pounded shots and Irish coffee. Andrews and Marston danced an Irish jig arm in arm. Hull did some soft shoe. Tom felt queasy. The booze tempted him. The Thirst came on strong. It made his mouth water. He forced his food down and zeroed in on secrets.<br/><br/>His big secret: Dirt files on all the men gathered at the table. He found them three years ago when indicted sheriff Mark Hickey went to jail. Tom was internal affairs boss at the time. An IA asset forfeiture squad raided Hickey's private safety deposit box before the feds got to it. The squad found a thousand pages filled with hidden secrets on Arizona's elite. Six novels worth of secrets. Six novels worth of political juice. The words CLARK, THOMAS spooked him bad. He read it. Detailed paperwork on his rehab stints, copies of the divorce papers Simone's lawyer served him with. The papers cited his affair with Liz and drinking as grounds for divorce. He pocketed it, fudged the chain of evidence so it wouldn't be missed. He destroyed his file and stashed the rest in his own safe deposit box. He was too afraid to read the rest of the files in the stack. He could not trust himself with that type of information. He would either use it as blackmail to get ahead, or evidence in a trial. Either way his political career would be up in smoke.<br/><br/>The party hit a lull. Marston said, ""There is a lot of federal money coming down the pipes, boys. A few senators and I are working on an urban redevelopment bill. This bill will put the entire Northside right in the crosshairs of federal grants. It's still going to be a year or two out, but there is going to be a lot of money made on that land. Right now the property out there is dirt cheap. I suggest we all get to buying.""<br/><br/>Hull picked his nose, ""In my legal opinion, land is always a good investment.""<br/><br/>Marston picked bacon from his teeth, ""All of North Sun City, my friends, even spilling out into the county. We'll make at least seven figures on kickbacks alone.""<br/><br/>Perkins winked. ""Kick out all niggers, jack up the prices, and sell it to the rich white people who think it's hip to live in a bad neighborhood. Gentrification at its finest.""<br/><br/>Andrews smiled. ""God, I love this country.""<br/><br/>They went silent. All eyes fell on Tom. He sweated through his jack and coat. The Thirst practically screamed from inside of him. He did a quick count: At least six counts of federal fraud and corruption felonies. Andrews popped his knuckles. Hull flicked a booger off the balcony.<br/><br/>Tom held his glass of water up for a toast. <br/><br/>""God bless America,"" he said with his best fake smile.<br/><br/>They cheered. Tom wiped sweat and gulped water down. <br/><br/>Welcome to the corridors of power.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Note: This section was co-written with <a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/vilageidiotx"">@Vilageidiotx</a></span><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Philadelphia</span><br/><br/>Jack Rawlings sipped champagne and mingled among the crowd in the hotel ballroom. Not a bad crowd here on this Saturday night, upward of a hundred people and a lot more than Jack thought would come out. He shared a quick word with Brianna Foley, a secretary for the Philly chapter of the NAACP, before moving on to find other familiar faces. Plenty of the people here were familiar to Jack. They were also, save for a few here and there, all black. The dinner and party here tonight was in honor of the Congressional Black Caucus' first full year of existence. It wasn't a powerful caucus, its six members paled in comparison to the Southern Caucus' forty-five congressmen and twenty-four senators. But it was now six where it had been only four before the election. Jack was part of the group as a second-term congressman from Ohio and one of the founders. He had suggested the name of black over negro or colored. <br/><br/>Black.<br/><br/>He found there was power in that word if they used it. Negro and colored had been what white people had labeled them as hundreds of years ago. To Jack, they were words he began to equate more and more with nigger. The name reflected their choice to define themselves and their destiny. No longer would they wait patiently for white people to decide when it was time to progress. The black people down south had sought to fight for what they believed in, and now so were the black people on Capitol Hill. And that spirit was not just here in America, but across the ocean in Africa. The five men and one woman that made up the CBC all wore their hair in that long, poofy style that was now starting to be called a natural or an Afro hairstyle. They all wore pins with the Ethiopian flag on their lapels that was as much a show of solidarity as was their hairstyle.<br/><br/>That was why Jack found himself scanning the crowd for their guest of honor. Edgar Gordon, the CBC's leader, sent him the invitation with a half-expectation it would be turned down. But to Jerry's surprise and the surprise of the rest of the CBC, Ethiopia's ambassador had accepted the invitation to deliver the keynote speech at the dinner. Jack needed to find him before the mingling ended and the sitdown dinner and speeches started. They had business to discuss.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Whenever Tomas Haile walked into a room full of Americans it always struck him how strange it was for him to be there. At sixty four, he hand been born the same year as the Battle of Segale. He was a distant cousin to the Emperor through Mikael of Wollo, who was Tomas's grandfather and the Emperor's great grandfather. In his teenage years, he rode with the cavalry during the second civil war, armed with a pistol and a lance. Two decades later he commanded men in the third civil war. He had seen dust rise over highland battlefields, and taken part in cattle raids. He had went to sleep in scrubland wilds where wolves could be heard howling so close they sounded like they were sharing his camp fire. Now he was here, in America, surrounded by a people so removed from their African past it seemed little more than an academic factoid for them, in a genteel hotel ballroom with colonial walls and carefully chosen furniture and decorations that would have been at home in George Washington's front room.<br/><br/>It was a funny juxtapositon, him with his history in this place, but it did not make him feel uncomfortable. He cut a different figure among these people. His face was pock-marked from a childhood bout with smallpox. His hair was pale grey, and clung to his head in a prominent widows peak. His lips were thin lines that clung to his teeth when he smiled, but he was an outgoing man who smiled often. He wore an immaculate black three piece suit with a white dress shirt and black bow tie. A sash in the Ethiopian green, yellow, and red hung limp from his shoulders. <br/><br/>It took a moment for the Americans in this room to notice him, but once they did it was not long before somebody approached him for conversation. It was a young man and his date. Both of them wore their hair in styles that reminded Tomas of how commoners still wore theirs back home. They both held in their hands drinks mixed with mint leaves. <br/><br/>""Ambassador Tomas. My name is Wilton Madison, this is my wife Bess"" the young man thrust his hand. They shook hands vigorously and Tomas smiled. ""It is very good meeting you, Mr. Madison, Mrs. Madison."" Tomas said.<br/><br/>""I have to say how much of an honor it is for you to be here tonight, Ambassador."" the young afro'ed man continued. ""My friends from the Southern Union of Voters would all like to extend our sympathies to your people and your fight.""<br/><br/>""This is much appreciated, Mr. Madison."" Tomas said in carefully spoken English. He was proficient with the language, but learning it as such an old age left him with a pronounced accent. ""I stay here in this country and every day I think that American hospitality is most generous.""<br/><br/>Wilton Madison beamed at that compliment. ""It is good to hear. When I think of people like Isiah Wolde or your old Emperor Yohannes and what they have done for my people, well... I feel like I should shake your hand again.""<br/><br/>Tomas laughed, as did the Madisons. From the corner of his eye, the Ambassador could see another man approaching. <br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jack came upon the small group with a big smile and pleasant greeting. He gave both Haile and Wilton a firm handshake and a pat on the shoulder before he took Bess' smaller hand into his and warmly shook it. None of the three other people were short by any means, but Jack towered over them. He was by far the tallest Congressman in Washington at six foot three. Senator Helms was technically the tallest man on Capitol Hill at six foot five, but old age had made his legs useless and put him in a wheelchair. Jack only took a small bit of pride in the fact that the old racist bastard was stuck in a wheelchair, robbed of his height and his legs, while Jack could race up the capitol steps three at a time if he wished.<br/><br/>""I hope you all didn't mind the extra drive out to Philly,"" he said after greetings had been exchanged. ""People tend to forget that the states around Washington are still segregated. Philadelphia isn't much better but,"" he shrugged before adding, ""they let us rent this ballroom and we got to go in through the front instead of the kitchen.""<br/><br/>""We're hoping that'll change,"" Bess Madison said with a nod. ""The CBC is the start of something, Congressman, feel pride in that. You're showing negro- black people all over America that they have a voice in Washington.""<br/><br/>""More of a whisper,"" Jack winked.<br/><br/>""But it's growing,"" said Wilton Madison. ""I think that's why y'all need to work on a voter rights act before a general civil rights act. Give black people the vote, and the rest will follow. That whisper will turn into a roar.""<br/><br/>""What do you say, ambassador?"" Jack asked. ""The vote or the lunch counter? Which one comes first?""<br/><br/>""This is not my country for me to be making your decisions, Mr Congressmen."" Tomas Haile said. ""But if I can give advice to you, I say fight for both and get what you can when you can get it.""<br/><br/>""Smart idea,"" said Jack. ""One theory is that we should lump voter rights in with civil rights and try to pass them as one bill.""<br/><br/>""That would be the first casualty,"" Bess Madison replied. ""Those white people would tear the voter rights part out as soon as they could.""<br/><br/>""It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow regardless."" Jack shrugged. ""Might as well try and get it all through in one go.""<br/><br/>""Not to change the subject,"" Wilton said with a look towards the ambassador. ""But I want to change the subject. Ambassador Haile, maybe you could enlighten me on something, what is it like to live in a nation that doesn't have these problems? How does it feel knowing that you and your people aren't judged or held back by superficial things like race?""<br/><br/>Jack closed his eyes and sighed. He felt embarrassed at the question. Ever since Jack was a small boy, black people in America had thought of Ethiopia in only the most glowing terms. To them, it was a kind of post-racial utopia. Jack understood exactly why they did that. It was because he had once done it. It was easy to see why; it was a country of Africans run by Africans. To a race of people being kept down by their governments and institutions, the idea of a black government -- a black emperor -- was practically a fairy tale. They had treated it like such for years now. In the four years Jack had served on the House's Foreign Affairs Committee, two of those years as chairman of the African subcommittee, he had finally come to the realization that it was not simply a land of black people or African people. It was a hodgepodge of nations, religions, and tribes. To think otherwise was naive. Jack was about to say as much, but Ambassador Haile held a hand up to stop him and spoke instead.<br/><br/>""When I was a child, I was taught to think I was not 'black'. There were people in the west of my country we called 'black', because they are darker skinned, and my people looked down on them and kept many as slaves even into my childhood. My people, the Habesha, believed for the longest time that we were a Caucasian people. Many still do, I think. It was the Emperors of my lifetime that led my people to identify with the rest of Africa. But I think that is good news for you, because if my country could become better in the lifetime of one man, it means you can win your fight as well."" <br/><br/>The Ambassador smiled warmly and put on a fatherly air. He left many things unspoken. His position was that of a diplomat after all, not an educator, and it seemed unfitting to talk about the many racial tensions that existed in Africa. These black Americans, who's ancestors had all been taken from the west coast of the African continent, imagined the black race to be one people, and that fiction helped to unite them. It was not his business to present the blacks of Africa in their true form, as divided as the whites of Europe.<br/><br/>""Well said,"" Jack said, gently placing an arm on Haile's shoulder. ""Ambassador, I have to introduce you to Philadelphia's NAACP president. Wilton, Bess.""<br/><br/>The Madisons nodded and said their goodbyes as Jack led the ambassador through the party. They passed by the NAACP table and Ray Waters, the Philly president, and headed for the ballroom's far wall. The wall wasn't actually a wall, but a black curtain hung across the middle of the ballroom. Since the dinner wouldn't fill the space to capacity, the hotel had closed off the unused part of the room and charged the CBC a half-rate.<br/><br/>Jack and Haile walked through the curtain and into the unused half of the ballroom. It was dimly lit, with only a few floor lights on and casting long shadows across the room. Chairs were off the floor and overturned on their tables. For a moment, neither man spoke as their eyes adjusted to the lighting and the area.<br/><br/>""I apologize for pulling you away,"" said Jack. ""I'll be brief, but the State Department wants me to put out feelers to you and the Foreign Minister about some things. Have they said anything to you about the foreign aid bill that our Congress passed last month?""<br/><br/>""The Foreign Affairs Office has given me permission to accept the offer. They have been quiet out of respect for your country's delicate relationship with Spain, but I swear to you that my country and my Emperor very much appreciate what the United States of America is doing for us."" the Ambassador replied.<br/><br/>""That does me pride to hear that,"" Jack said with a big grin.<br/><br/>Outside the House leadership, Jack and the CBC had done more to see safe passage of the bill through the House than any other group of congressmen. He'd done his share of horse trading and vote whipping to make sure every Democrat, and a few Republicans, voted to pass the bill.<br/><br/>""I'm not sure how much you know about the legislative process here, Ambassador, but the bill prohibits the US government from raising or earning revenue for the purpose of supplying Ethiopia with military aid. All we're authorized to spend money on is medicine and food for civilians, which will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.""<br/><br/>Jack adjusted his tie and flashed a sly grin.<br/><br/>""But, there's a potential loophole that State, Defense, and even the White House want to use. We nationalized a weapons manufacturer in New England months ago and they've been working around the clock, making new weapons and equipment for the military. That gives us a lot of surplus we need to get rid of. Since it's surplus, we wouldn't spend a dime on making it, and since we're giving it away we won't make a dime selling it. It's not the best equipment, Ambassador, but it could help. I understand if you can't answer for your government here and now, but it's something my government has full intention of moving forward with if your government is willing to accept.""<br/><br/>The Ambassador listened carefully, leaning his head forward to catch the low-spoken words. ""This is good."" he said when it was his turn to speak. ""I will have to send word to my people, you are correct in that Congressman. But I do not see them denying this help, so you have my permission to go ahead with your plan as if I have already received consent to accept it. If there is a problem, I will bear the embarrassment.""<br/><br/>Jack held out his hand and held it wrapped around the ambassador's own hand.<br/><br/>""You're going to hear a lot of things tonight about how much the black people in this country admire the stand your country is taking against Spain. A lot of it is gonna seem like ass kissing but know that it's legitimate. For three hundred years, we have been kicked around, kept down, and treated like animals. But yet we're still fighting, and we're gonna keep fighting. Just like your people will keep fighting. We need you to win your war so we can win our rights.""<br/><br/>He placed his big hands on the ambassador's shoulders and pulled him in.<br/><br/>""You don't want to admit it, baby, but your people and ours are in this together. This ain't about land and civil rights, it's about the future of our race. We have been under the white boot for centuries. The coming months and years will decide if that will last into the new millennium too. If Ethiopia and the Pan-African Empire falls, the best hope the black people of the world have for a future is extinguished. Your nation needs to survive so that the world can witness that black people can create great nations and defend them just as well as white people.""<br/><br/>Jack surprised himself at the words he had just said. They were more idealistic than he liked and he said more than he had meant to. He let out a little embarrassed laugh.<br/><br/>""Let's go get something to eat, yeah?""</div>"

""Thank God the Pharaohs died so we might have this road."" That thought came into Leyla's mind as they ascended into the valley. There was no other reason for these dunes and rocky bluffs to have so many roads attached to them. And this abandoned tourist trap was of no use to the authorities at Luxor, so the chances of meeting an enemy here were slim.<br/><br/>Leyla remembered a rant about the Turkish handling of Egyptian antiquaries from a school teacher when she was younger. For the Egyptians themselves, these places were hallowed and symbolized an eternal greatness for their people. The Turks, however, had saw them as opportunities to bring tourist money and legitimacy to their occupation. They had added new roads, and spent obsessionally on archeologists to scour the nation for any find that might increase their prestige. These places were of course abandoned now, but they presented serendipitous highways for the fleeing Ethiopians. She hadn't considered it before, but the Copts had informed her of this route.<br/><br/>They left the Coptic village three days after they arrived. She had never meant to stay so long, but the rest had been a welcome one, and the Copts were welcoming to the point of obsession. It was understandable. They were threatened by the Imam at Luxor. It was why they hadn't asked any questions about their prisoner, the sullied priest Junedin. When the priest had commenced his delirious mix of obscenity and pleading, the needful Copts didn't bat an eye. <br/><br/>Few words passed between the surviving Ethiopians the day they traveled to the Valley. Their short rest among the Copts made the desert seem even more hateful than before, and they had to travel slow in the hills. Junedin's shouting echoed from his place in the back of a landrover, and his curses put Leyla in a bad mood. She kept her mind on the prize.<br/><br/>It was twilight when they reached the Valley of the Kings. The tombs themselves were not what made the place obvious; their entrances hardly stuck out from the bluffs. There was a stone road and signs written in Turkish and Arabic that marked where they were. Sand dusted the paving stones, and a thin layer of the stuff was beginning to obscure the already unassuming tomb entrances. This place hadn't been visited for a while. It seemed as good a place as any to rest for the day.<br/><br/>""This is a morbid campsite."" Heruy said in a lowered voice. <br/><br/>Leyla smiled, ignoring Junedin's raging chant of 'cunt' in the background. ""You afraid of dead people now?""<br/><br/>""Well, who isn't?"" Heruy sounded sincerely defensive as he helped her drag out sleeping bags from the back of a landrover. <br/><br/>""These people have been dead longer than... well, any tombs I have seen now I think on it. What is in these places is only human-shaped clumps of dirt.""<br/><br/>""Souls, Leyla."" he replied, and his face betrayed only seriousness. ""This is their place, and they have had it for some time.""<br/><br/>""They will have to give us some room for tonight."" she tried to sound consoling. ""We can't go anywhere else.""<br/><br/>They ate bread and cold chicken for dinner, being careful not to start a fire. Leyla felt painfully aware the only thing between them and Luxor was a rocky ridge-line and a few miles of farmland. How much of that did this Imam of Luxor patrol? What was the true nature of his control? The Copts had made him and his sound like a fully-constructed government with real control of Egypt, but was that just an exaggeration born from their precarious situation? Perhaps this Imam was little more than a priest with a weak militia of followers. <br/><br/>She hoped she wouldn't have to learn.<br/><br/>The stars were bright against a crisp black desert sky. Moonlight bathed the ground in a comfortable blue glow. Heruy elected to go on guard first, and the other men kept to themselves as they usually did, leaving Leyla with the large Barentu. His unkempt dreads were crusted with dust, and he had grown a respectable beard in the time since the Battle for the Suez. She watched as he finished his dinner, tearing manfully into the tough bread the Copts had provided them with.<br/><br/>""I wonder how the war is going."" Leyla said in an attempt to make conversation. Barentu only paused his eating. ""The Egyptians told you the dam down the river is ours."" he said. ""That must mean something.""<br/><br/>""I got the impression they only knew rumors."" she replied in a soft voice, like a mother afraid of waking the children.<br/><br/>""That is the only news we have heard. What else can we expect?"" he said slowly.<br/><br/>""You saw the strength the Spanish showed at the Suez. This is a power we are dealing with.""<br/><br/>""You sound like you respect them, Leyla."" he said, tearing another rip of bread<br/><br/>""I do."" she spoke strongly this time. ""I do respect them even if they are my enemy. It would be a mistake for me to do otherwise. I might be disgusted in what they are doing, but that does not change <span class=""bb-i"">what</span> they can do.""<br/><br/>Barentu stopped eating. Bread crumbs clung to his beards like the stars in the sky. ""I do not want to spend time respecting ferengi. If a man killed my mother, I would not think about how skilled he was at murdering.""<br/><br/>""I understand."" Leyla said. She looked into Barentu's eyes and tried to gage his mood. They reflected wetly in the moonlight. There was a simple weight in them, like the eyes of a hunting dog, and in that she found comfort somehow. <br/><br/>""It is like Junedin."" he continued. ""I know there are rules, you have told me your rules, but all I need to know is that he did a horrible and selfish thing to the Egyptian woman. He should die for that despite the rules.""<br/><br/>The harsh tone he took on this subject always made her uncomfortable. When she thought of him, she liked to think of the loyal giant, and the harsh soldier parts of his personality always eclipsed that when it came out. ""There are no military laws about... what he did. Not for foreigners.""<br/><br/>""Insubordination."" he answered.<br/><br/>""He isn't my soldier, and I am not his officer. Not really. Remember we killed some of the people defending that village, and only to steal food and water. It's... it's an ugly affair. If he acted against one of us, or against me... well, that would be a crime I could punish. No. I can only report him to the authorities when we return.""<br/><br/>""He will do something to hurt us. I know he will."" Barentu leaned back and looked into the sky. <br/><br/>Leyla had the same fears. But what could she do? Despite what Junedin had done, to that woman and to their mission, she didn't hate him as much as she had before. She could tell his captivity in the hot sun was driving him completely mad. And why would it not? Their conditions had strained her nerves, and she had complete control of herself. He was hogtied in the back of a landrover and hated by everyone around him. He had done such a horrible thing to that innocent woman, and empathy for her own sex should bring her to despise the man more than Barentu seemed to. But... the world was horrible. She knew that, and she always had. The entire situation left her feeling dully responsible for more than she knew how to accept. She had to swallow it all and move on. Looking up into the night sky, she slowly fell asleep. She slept, and she dreamed.<br/><br/>It was a dream of Armenia, muddled together from so many impressions that it could never have happened like this, but the dream felt real none the less. It was the city of Erzurum, war-torn and smouldering, with the sound of battle only miles away. The normal practices of city life had been replaced by processions of military hardware and soldiers. It was the logistical side of war, the only way she ever experienced it in Armenia. Despite the brimstone and gunpowder atmosphere, there was Elias grinning as he always did. She felt the certain comfort her partners grin always fed to her in the field. There was a feeling of urgency, a mission that needed doing, but it melted away. The dream shifted them back to the gardens of Yerevan, and then a showhouse in Sevan. Armenia didn't seem like a nation in the dream. It was like an amusement park, where each door led to something else. She followed Elias through it all; wars, parties, government meetings. At the end they were on the shore, a boat full of baby goats, and the feeling that something was missing. This was their mission. But what was it? <br/><br/>""FATHER""<br/><br/>She woke up suddenly from the scream. The sun had hardly started to rise, and the stars were still out. <br/><br/>""HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME!"" <br/><br/>The voice shouting was Junedin's. The awful priest was shouting the Lord's Prayer into the morning air. He did not sound like a priest, beseeching God. Rather, The words were spat out like curses, like a man screaming hatefully at children in the streets. <br/><br/>""YOUR KINGDOM COME!"" <br/><br/>""Shut him up!"" she saw Heruy walk up, visibly irritated.<br/><br/>""Did you see any ghosts?"" she asked him. <br/><br/>""YOUR WILL BE DONE!""<br/><br/>The young Heruy looked down at her and frowned. ""That isn't appropriate. We should shut the priest up. We don't know how far he can be heard.""<br/><br/>""ON EARTH! ON EARTH AS IT IS IN FUCKING HEAVEN!"" <br/><br/>""He might wake the dead."" she teased. Heruy made sure she knew he didn't appreciate that. She stood herself up and stretched. Sand and gravel fell from her blanket and clacked onto the ground. ""Gag the prisoner."" she commanded. Her voice flowed freely and she realized she was used to command somehow by now. <br/><br/>""GIVE US SOME SHIT BREAD! GIVE US DAILY.."" he went quiet at that moment. She wondered what cloth they had used to quiet the prisoner today.<br/><br/>Things seemed to flow smoothly after that. The land-rovers were prepared before the completion of dawn. Leyla looked at the entry-ways into the tombs and, for a moment, she fancied to spend the morning playing the tourist. She thought better of it and it was not long before they were on the move.<br/><br/>They went through a tunnel that had been blasted to the south of the valley. It was painted on the inside to look like Egyptian hieroglyphs, but there was a softness to the style that differed from truly ancient art. In the center of the tunnel there was no light except for the two ends. They exited into another valley, the bluffs and lower ground all the same uniform color of sand. The valley ended at an ancient mortuary temple complex, where the columns and the statues and the colonnades shared the same dull sand coloring of everything around them. They descended into the valley at a careful speed. Leyla rolled down the window and felt the last of the cool desert air pass over her before the sun came high enough to scorch everything. <br/><br/>Thin lines of grey smoke started to stream from the engine of the landrover in front of them. It was too early for this. Once they were in the valley, she motioned them to the side and hopped out of the vehicle to talk.<br/><br/>""We checked the fluid levels before we left."" Heruy explained from the drivers seat. He had with him the others, who's names Leyla had failed to commit to memory. <br/><br/>""That temple looks like it has a courtyard, and look."" she pointed. ""I think we can drive into it. Pull into there.""<br/><br/>Perhaps it was inappropriate to use the ancient mud-brick ramp to enter a sacred temple in a couple of landrovers, but she couldn't help but use the protection its walls provided. She wondered what the ramp had been for. Perhaps its easy incline had been for transporting the mummified dead all those eons ago? It would take time for them to fix the engine, giving her the chance to explore. <br/><br/>The entrance to the temple was guarded by standing figures, crowned with the two crowns of ancient Egypt and standing firm against the columns. They stopped inside the walls and she wasted no time starting her personal tour.<br/><br/>'<span class=""bb-i"">Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut</span>' a sign read, posted in Turkish. She skimmed the rest of the text, but the temple itself interested her more than the history, and she wandered the courtyard. The columns were carved with hieroglyphs, and the last flaking bits of painted scenes hung on the walls. There were scenes of birds and animals along the Nile, peasants and royal processions, and animal-headed gods reigning on their thrones. It all seemed so alive... and peaceful. She felt as if Egypt had degraded since those times. What would the ancients paint of the modern state of their beloved land? Rifles, blood, and dust. That was the impression her time in Egypt had left her with.<br/><br/>Under the colonnade, the paint was better kept. Here, the dust and sun had only slightly faded the colors. Strong blues and reds contrasted where red men worked along the river. <span class=""bb-i"">Red land, black land.</span> She recalled that conversation with Heruy, and had to smile. These people didn't share the color Heruy supposed them to.<br/><br/>She looked across her shoulders to see Barentu plodding across the courtyard toward her. ""We have a problem."" he whispered. She noted the whisper immediately, and knew exactly the kind of problem he must be talking about. She led him to the entry-way they had entered through.<br/><br/>""There."" he pointed to four dots on the horizon. ""On camels. I used the binoculars, and I saw guns.""<br/><br/>She grabbed the binoculars. They were leaning behind a column, hiding in the shade of the temple. ""How did you see the guns? I can't see them."" she whispered. <br/><br/>""I saw a flash."" he said. She assumed he meant a glint of light.<br/><br/>The two of them watched the men approach on camel back. There were five of them. They were still watching the men make their slow approach when Heruy came up and told them the landrover was fixed.<br/><br/>""Tell everyone to be quiet, and don't move unless you have to."" she whispered to him. ""There is not much sand to kick up, but caution is how we survive.""<br/><br/>And so they watched in silence. The desert was an especially silent place, where wind made the only sound. Soon enough she could hear the conversations of the camel-riders echoing between the cliff-faces, but she could not make out there words. Their camels also snorted from time to time.<br/><br/>The watch was grueling. Her heart was in her chest. The sun had taken well into the sky, and beads of sweat were now pouring down her skin. When the camel-riders reached the road they had driven across just minutes before, she thought they were discovered. Surely the tracks would tell. But to her luck, they seemed not to pay attention. They started up toward the tunnel, seemingly unaware of the Ethiopians' traces.<br/><br/>""FATHER! HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME!""<br/><br/>That voice... that hateful man. It rang through the valley like a bell. How had Junedin spit his gag? There was no time to think about that.<br/><br/>""YOUR KINGDOM COME!"" <br/><br/>The camel-riders looked straight at the temple. They were moving quickly now, and they <span class=""bb-i"">knew</span>. For Leyla and her soldiers, there was one option. It would be a fight. The Ethiopians took their places behind the Pharaonic columns. There were four Egyptians against seven armed Ethiopians. Those odds were good, but they were in enemy country, and with Luxor just over the ridge there was no promise the odds would stay good.<br/><br/>There was a silent moment, like the desert took a breath. Nobody would fire a shot until the Egyptians were in range. Heruy had disappeared for long enough to gather rifles and the rest of the African party. They were all together now, each with his own column.<br/><br/>When the enemy reached the foot of the ramp, the Ethiopians opened fire in one staggering volley. Camels dropped, and an Egyptian fell dead. The surviving enemued took cover behind the corpses of their animals. They returned fire. Mudbrick walls, which had lay still for thousands of years, shattered into flying shards and a haze of dust.<br/><br/>Combat became one thing. A single event, where no other thoughts or emotions existed. Yank the bolt, feed a round, aim, fire. Soon enough, gunfire made the angry shouting of the priest a forgotten detail.  <br/><br/>Crack. Crack. Thud. Crack-crack-crack. Leyla couldn't hear anything but guns. The sound made her ears buzz. In the valley below, camel corpses swallowed the rounds in bloody spouts until the blood was all poured out. The sand went red, and shifting walls and the animals became walls of shredded meat and fur.<br/><br/>She couldn't feel her body. Adrenaline. Bullets punched into the walls and columns around them. One hit so near to her, almost just behind her, and it was so close that it made her arm go numb with a sort of empathetic fear. <br/><br/>The gunfire slowed to a trickle as one by one the Ethiopians realized the enemy response had ceased. The silence that came afterwards was fearful. Her ears rang, but moment by moment she started to hear the gentle wind again. A thin cloud of dust filled their part of the temple, and everything between them and the butchered meat at the foot of the ramp.<br/><br/>""Leyla."" she heard a startled voice call to her, and she looked to see Barentu looking down at her strangely. <br/><br/>""We need to get away."" she said to him, and she realized she was woozy. When she looked down, she saw that her hand and the stock beneath the barrel was stained in blood. The last thing she noticed was how the world smelled like gunpowder, and then her world went black. </div>"
22246,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-05-28 06:33:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Yekaterinburg</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Smartash Camp</div><br/><br/>It was a sound that brought Tsung back to the all to near reality. The sound of gunfire and artillery fire that cracked and banged from inside the besieged capital of Yekaterinburg. Though if talk was anything to say, much of the Republican government had been divided between this city and Moscow. So it was doubtful a fall of Yekaterinburg would be a functional defeat of the Republic as a whole. The officers were lording over the battle all the same, calling it a moral blow to the Republic if they lost here. And although they never answered the additional rumors, they had been letting as many dirty ragged forced to be sucked into the city so as to trap and starve them.<br/><br/>But Tsung hadn't seen any of that. All he saw of the battle was through the small filtered screen of a tank operator's windows. He doubted even Song had as clear a picture of the wide battle as he. And when they made it to their dirty, salty camp all that was left to be seen of it was the wounded that cycled into and out of the position on a regular basis.<br/><br/>And is it had turned out for them, this forward base was less a base, and more of an impromptu fortress. Attempting to control the entire quarry that lay in the ground behind him like a massive gash carved into the Earth's flesh a large part of the area was fortified. It was hard to tell if distant gunshots were from sentries patrolling the outer-rim deterring raiders, or something from the nearby neighborhoods and industrial cordons of the city's edge.<br/><br/>On clear afternoons when Tsung was not piloting his tank into the streets he could look towards Yekaterinburg and see passed the trees that rising smoke of smoldering buildings and blocks of the city as regular shelling tossed towards the Republicans a mortifying conflagration.<br/><br/>But now it was neither a patrol, nor was it day. The night sky sparkled above him as he sat above the edge of the quarry at a table of mismatched garbage – plastic boxes, metal barrels, pieces of plywood – covered in the rock salt that drifted through the air in a fine mist. Some men had taken to wear masks when the most of it was being kicked up from the bone-colored floor of the pit when the equipment was most active.<br/><br/>In front of him, Tsung pushed around on his table a tin plate full of a sloppy stew, a slice of bread soaked in the middle. With rice, vegetables, and meat it wasn't so much a stew as it was a pile of congealed gelatin on a gray plate. Likewise, a tin cup was filled with water. Both however had soaked in so much of the still air-borne salt dust that they had become border-line inedible for Tsung who resigned himself to limply picking at the plate and glowering down at a plate that had begun to sting the tongue and dry the mouth, and a glass of water that did little to quash the discomfort. He sighed, annoyed.<br/><br/>The rest of the canteen was filled with banter under warm green halogen lights that rose overhead on thin metal masts. They seemed comfortable with the distant sound of rumbling artillery fire and gun-shots. For Tsung, he looked up nervously to the tree-line that rose above the mass of tents with a dismaying feeling of fear and anxiety. He had survived one explosion already, nearly; he wasn't willing to try his luck if some large force stormed from those trees and no one was ready for them.<br/><br/>Grumbling, Tsung surrendered and pushed the plate away. He had ate about half of it until the meal lost all of whatever flavor it had. It wasn't even warm anymore. Laying his head on his hands he looked up into the night sky. Through the powerful glow of the camp-lights the weakest stars had been stifled out so only the largest and the brightest glowed. It was a far cry from the night skies he knew back home.<br/><br/>Tsung looked down as he heard rocks pop and grind under the weight of a boot. Walking towards him from the mess tent Hui approached the table. He looked at Tsung, and down to the half-eaten food on the table. “You're not hungry?” he asked, concerned.<br/><br/>“It got salty, quick.” Tsung explained, “I don't think it'll do me any good.”<br/><br/>Hui raised an eyebrow as he came up to the table, “I know the cook's cooking isn't great, but I don't see how much worse it can get.” he said as he grabbed a corner of the bread, pinching and twisting it free with his fingers. Flicking it into his mouth he chewed quizzically and nodded in agreement, “You're right.”<br/><br/>“Water isn't much better.” Tsung pointed out, Hui wasn't adventurous enough to try it out. Evidently, neither of them wanted the shits.<br/><br/>“Well if you're done I was going to head back, we're heading out early tomorrow morning and it's best we get as much sleep as possible. We're going to be out all day tomorrow.”<br/><br/>“How do you know?” Tsung asked.<br/><br/>“I just do.” Hui shrugged, turning away. In the light of the camp his shaved head should have shone, but so much dust had settled and his scalp dried it did little but pick up a dull matte highlight.<br/><br/>At Hui's hip – much like Tsung – hung the heavy nickle polished handgun issued out to all service members in the Chinese military. The Changui revolver was as much reliable as it was very well out of style in an age where most militaries used semi-automatic handguns. But this fact hadn't dawned on command early on, who simply needed something to outfit its men uniformly over-on, the weapon had since stuck. And while they were technically in active service they were required to be armed, but to go about the camp with a rifle or assault-rifle as many other infantry did was often cumbersome and inconvenient to the men of the armored divisions who packed their weapons light, in lieu of their often packed confines. As such, their handguns were often what they had on them.<br/><br/>The way their weapons hung at their hips as well gave an air of a western gunslinger from American folk lore as the rested strapped to their user's sides by heavy straps decorated with pouches holding their extra ammo. Hui moved through the camp comfortably with his handgun. But Tsung not so much, who found the banging weight of the gun against his bony hip uncomfortable to manage.<br/><br/>“Where's Lin?” Tsung asked, inquiring over their crew's gunner.<br/><br/>“Probably found someone to play Mahjong with.” Hui answered dismissively, “We'll see what happens with what she brings back.” he didn't sound the least bit worried at all. In the end though, there wasn't much to gamble between them but bullets, cigarettes, and books or magazines. In the end the losses wouldn't be significant on any of them.<br/><br/>Though there was the time she managed to retrieve for them a few extra shells of high explosive rounds, but Hui never wanted to know how she won those. And Song himself was just as apathetic to their sudden appearance.<br/><br/>Drawing away steadily from the center of the camp, the number of lights illuminating the dusty, muddy paths between the rows of tents slowly thinned to only a few random posts, providing a random scatter of sickly green electrical light. Elsewhere, light was brought down in the form of lanterns that cast a soft burning orange glow, or the smoldering embers of tiny campfires that did little more than shone with small pin-prick needles of red light. In the late hour, the tents and rows and columns were sleepy, quiet, and dark. There stood at points men who sat idly around a dimly lit electrical lantern smoking and talking to each other in low voices as in the distance the murmuring clamor of the mess-tent and the central functions of the operating base continued its end-of-the-day din.<br/><br/>Lower down in the camp, down a rocky incline to the upper lip of the camp was where the men of the armored division camped segregated from the rest. Closest to where the equipment was kept, it was felt that it was better served for these men and the mechanics to quarter a quick slide down a dusty precipice from their equipment. Though the gentle incline couldn't be seen in the darkness of the night, it was surely there. White stones reflecting the blue light of the moon helped to guide them along the narrow paths between the tents.<br/><br/>They hadn't gotten far when stones began rolling down from the higher perch of the quarry's walls. A fist side rock bumped first into Hui's ankles startling him. He jumped aside as if trying to avoid a grenade before stopping to listen curiously to the cascade of sand, pebbles, and rocks rolling down the mouth. Tsung turned, hearing it too. And something else: there was the guttural sound of someone rolling down with them. And further than that: panicked angry shouting.<br/><br/>In the darkness he saw a figure of a man rolling and sliding down the shallow edge of the quarry, rolled up in a ball as he guarded himself against the stones as he took the quick way down the slope. “What the hell?” Hui asked as he watched the figure slide to the bottom and struggle to his feet. In the shadows both men noticed a rogue paper fly up into the air from under the man's arms.<br/><br/>“Cyka.” the man spat angrily, reaching up and grabbing the fluttering paper. With a staggering step he turned clumsily and limp on his foot to grab the flying paper in the moonlight as the two Chinese soldiers stood watching. 'Was this some Siberian nonsense?' both wondered.<br/><br/>The man caught the paper and turned to run again, seeing the two of them. “Oy... Cyka blyatt.” he swore again in a heavy breath. His hand dashed to his shirt and Tsung took a deep frightened breath in as he saw the flash of gun metal in the moon light.<br/><br/>“Shit!” Hui cried.<br/><br/>“Idi nahui!” the Russian cursed again, holding the gun out to the two of them. The two men couldn't clearly see the man, but if they could see him then they both knew he could see them well enough. And neither knew well enough what to do but raise their hands in shock. He after all had command now of the situation.<br/><br/>Scrambling on his feet the Russian passed them both by, switching the handgun between the two of them as he crept by. Time ticked by as the furiously frightened Russian held the two men up to his command. Both had no intention to fight as he moved between them, holding the gun to one side as he held Hui up, and froze Tsung with his cold gaze. In the dark light he could see his face clear in the moonlight; cold, brazen, and dirty.<br/><br/>From up top the quarry's crater's walls shouts echoed down from the distance. The Russian's face grew tight and startled as he whipped around, making quick bounding steps passed the two tank operators and looking up towards the main camp. From over the lip a man with a rifle appeared and shot towards him. The rifle cracked loud and angry as it muzzle flash lit up the night and the explosion of the bullet striking the rocky ground whipped the cold night. Tsung and Hui both flinched as a spray of shrapnel sprayed their legs and faces and the Russian was fast on the move in the spray of pebbles and rocks. With a few rapid shots from his handgun he returned fire on the rifle-man, having much more success as his bullets struck him in the chest in the night and he fell crumpled from up top.<br/><br/>Diving down the last stretch to the bottom of the quarry the attacking Russian dove for freedom over the last precipice as the rest of his pursuers caught up. Tsung's heart racked against his chest in a furious panic and Hui's breaths rose and fell in violent surprise. “You three!” a officer bellowed from the top of the short white cliff, “What are you doing standing around? Fucking catch that spying bastard!”<br/><br/>'A spy?' Tsung muttered in his thoughts. He turned to look the way the Russian bailed into the night, down into the pit.<br/><br/>“On our way!” Hui cheered, speaking for Tsung as he grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around. He barely had time to protest before the bald cannon loader was diving him off the edge of the plataeu that hugged the edge of the quarry and they were off.<br/><br/>Rocks and sand slid by underneath Tsung as he slid down the steady slope of the quarry wall. Large stones knocked against his heels and his butt bumped over them as he went. He groaned at every instance he was bumped up. As he landed on his feet he keeled over, rubbing his soar bruised ass as Tsung grabbed him by the arm and threw him forward, drawing his revolver.<br/><br/>“Why are we chasing him?” Tsung protested as they looked for the Russian's trail in the moonlight.<br/><br/>“Don't challenge the MP's orders,” Hui replied coldly, “you don't need them mad.”<br/><br/>It didn't take them long to pick up on the spy's trail, long swept limping tracks dragged themselves through the dusty sand and fine stones. And it didn't take them long either to find the man they were chasing. Hearing them, the Republican agent turned from around the side of an armored car and fired off a few quick shots that buzzed over their heads. Acting quick Hui rose the pistol and fired off shots of his own that cracked and sparked off the shells of the vehicles. The spy screamed in surprise as the spark of a ricochet bullet lit up in front of his face and he was turning to run again.<br/><br/>“I'm reloading, shoot him!” Hui ordered.<br/><br/>Tsung fumbled for his own gun and plodded forward. He ran to the position the man had been standing and turned, seeing his spectral silhouette staggering between the vehicles. Hesitantly he rose his gun and fired one single quick shot and the infiltrator dropped screaming in agony in the salty dust. Seeing his dark body hit the ground in a lump filled Tsung at first with guilty shock, overcame slowly by a feeling of pride, like he had killed a fat rabbit for dinner.<br/><br/>“Got him!” Tsung shouted, turning to Hui who rounded around near him closing the cylinder on his revolver.<br/><br/>Turning back though, the moment of pride melted away. It was only fleeting, in the moonlit white-dust of the ground the black form of the Republican had disappeared. “Shit.” Tsung muttered.<br/><br/>Hui hurried forward, both his hands holding the revolver straight forward. Tsung ran after him like a school child until they reached the point he had shot him.<br/><br/>“You certainly shot him.” Tsung pointed out, on the ground was a pool of blood. It had dripped and smeared as the man had staggered to his feet and dashed off. Looking down at the ground, both men could make out the fine path of irregularly space drips of blood that zig-zagged along. Holding his gun out, Hui took the lead. Tsung followed warily, suddenly aware of the tensity of the night.<br/><br/>They didn't make more than a few steps when the spy they were hunting leaned out from behind a tank and shot at them. The bullets cracked passed Tsung's ears and he felt the burn of at least one cut across the surface of his arms. He recoiled reflexively against the pain and fired almost as a twitch. The roar of the handgun filled the night and scarred the Russian back into the night.<br/><br/>“You hit?” Hui asked.<br/><br/>“I-” Tsung began, he felt alright. All he felt was a burning sting across his arm and a light trickle of wet warmth as blood seeped from the wound down his arm. “I'll be OK.” he said, hoping for the best. He shook nervously from the rush of adrenaline in his system, and kept moving after Hui as they pursued their target.<br/><br/>Elsewhere in the quarry the voices of prowling security personnel echoed in the dark night. Sweeping beams from flash-lights lit up sections of the pit as they scanned every which way in the night. But with a trail, they had no where to go. Unlike Tsung and Hui who kept their eyes down to the ground, following the irregular and oddly spaced drops of blood.<br/><br/>“You mustn't have gotten him bad.” Hui pointed out as they continued on, “Maybe he'll slow down.”<br/><br/>Neither of them could reject the feel they were like hunter chasing after a wounded animal. At some point they might find him set up somewhere, tired and too injured to move. Then they'd have him.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be the case. All Tsung's bullet seemingly having done was leave a convenient trail that peppered the ground like the brass shell casings ejected from his gun.<br/><br/>On the trail of the intruder, the quarry fell silent. Tsung wondered if he knew there were more men hunting for him at the bottom of the pit, and firing his gun would get their attention. Hui considered if he had ran out of bullets, and was just now trying to keep a step ahead of them. They left the cover of the motor-pool, keeping their eyes on the ground for signs of blood and the disturbed dirt of a man dragging his foot along in a wide limping gait. At each corner Tsung turned tense, afraid of the probability of a gun barrel bearing down into his face with the cold sharp light of the moon and stars above.<br/><br/>He wondered: would Hui be there to save him if it came to that?<br/><br/>The agent they were after having left the motor pool threw away his abandon and by the direct course of the trail was attempting to cut a direct path to somewhere, throwing away his notions of simply weaving between the armored hulks of tanks and combat vehicles as it turned through the dark emptiness of the quarry. Tsung and Hui gave a quickened chase, with any luck they hoped the injured spy wasn't too far ahead, and they'll find him crumpled behind some rocks. But it wasn't any rocks he led them too, but a battered metal hatch at the far end of the quarry, thrown open in the side of the wall.<br/><br/>Large enough to allow in a large truck, it stood against the rocky wall of the mine at a slopping angle against the wall of the open-pit mine. A smooth concrete and steel throat led down into the sepulcher darkness inside. Hui held up his gun into the darkness, looking down at the ground to confirm the blood trail did indeed go inside. Just inside the hole someone had left an oil lantern burning softly just inside.<br/><br/>Tsung felt the apprehension just as much as his partner as they stood at the edge of a darkened underground oblivion. They stood there, hesitating. If the tunnel represented anything, it represented the entire notion of annihilation. A constant obtrusive barrier of all-consuming nothing, broken only by the burning lantern that sputtered in the cave-like breath just yards down from the entrance, marking the steady drop the floor made as it went. Not so close that its light spread out into the night, but just far enough that in the end, its glow was the eye of the abyss watching them. Neither men were surprised the other didn't want to go in.<br/><br/>And perhaps they lingered too long. Running up along them a security man caught up, his green helmet brandished with the insignia of the Chinese military police force. Held up along his melon-like head his gun flashed in the dim light of the night as a torch lit the ground at his feet.<br/><br/>“What's going on here?” he asked in a harsh demanding tone, turning to look down into the darkness of the pit beyond.<br/><br/>“That guy we're after,” Hui spoke, “We hit him, his blood trail goes down in there.” he said nodding into the perpetual darkness.<br/><br/>“Well there's a lamp down there!” the man barked, flashing his flash light towards the dancing flame of the small oil lamp. Salty rocks and gravel shone back against the warm yellow light as he scanned the inside of the tunnel's maw. “Why haven't you gone down to chase him.”<br/><br/>“We don't know where it leads!” Tsung blurted out, in a nervous bleating voice. The MP shot him a cold severe look, like that a disapproving father gives his kid.<br/><br/>“You two have to be fucking kidding me,” he groaned, “you two dumb shits are afraid of a little cave?” he scolded annoyed. He sighed deep and sneered as he looked in, taking the first steps through, “You two were first on the scene, you're with me. If you pussy out on me then I'll see that your both scrubbing the latrines for the rest of the war for this horse-shit.”<br/><br/>He went in, his light lighting up the rocky ribs of the cave walls. Hesitantly, Tsung and Hui followed. Tsung took the lantern as they passed it.<br/><br/>The tunnel they walked was long and straight, climbing ever steadily downward. In the floor the cuts made by trucks passing along the soft sand-packed floor was clear with the sharp hard shadows throw by the lantern and the flashlight. The walls were grooved and cut in softened rings, like that in the trachea. In the claustrophobic silence of this deep mine, the foot-steps of the three soldiers echoed off the walls as much as the drips of water from above did. The air tasted salty, and humid; already Tsung was sweating as the temperature and humidity slowly climbed.<br/><br/>“What is this place?” Hui asked, checking down and ahead of him every so often as he held his gun ahead with the light of the MP.<br/><br/>“Some extension of the salt mines.” the MP explained in a dry dusky voice, “We had scouted it out briefly, but no one wanted to go too deep. Places are flooded, others twist and turn. We just kept the hatch shut and locked, posted a guard alongside it. Didn't think anyone would throw it open.”<br/><br/>“D-do you think our man has a map?” Tsung asked, stuttering as he stepped over a ring of small blood droplets on the ground. He had to be careful to not smudge them, these were his way out.<br/><br/>“Can't say.” the MP growled, perpetually in a sour mood as he led the two through the briny tunnel.<br/><br/>After what felt like hours, the floor leveled off. Dropping off into a wide low chamber they stopped to scan the room. While the walls before had been white and muted brown, the floor, ceiling, and walls had taken on stripes of gray and muted reds sandwiched in layers from the pressure above. Scattered in the middle of the chamber rusting mine-carts lay on tracks half-submerged in puddles of water that shone a brownish-green as the lamp and torchlight shone off the tense flat surface of the stagnant pools. Here, the humid briny air had taken on a strong salty smell, with a mingling scent of bleach that ebbed and flowed with each gentle breath of the tunnels below.<br/><br/>“Damn.” Hui exclaimed.<br/><br/>“I hear it gets more impressive.” the MP remarked, scanning the ground for the blood trail. Amid the puddles of water that pools under neath cracks in the ceiling and gathered rust, it was difficult to tell where the blood went. But in dry patches a coagulating sheen of dark red would glimmer in the light, and they followed the trail of bread crumbs into the deeper caves.<br/><br/>Abandoned on the spot the three passed mine-carts on rusting iron tracks, picks, and mechanical jack hammers laid up on the ground or against the walls. But here the latent salt in the air and high moisture had turned each piece of equipment into a heavy chunk of rust that sealed and seized every possible moving part, rendering them a statue to an industry that had long abandoned them after the nation fell apart above it.<br/><br/>At points, crumpled cigarettes packs lay strewn on the floor with other miscellaneous pieces of refuse. Candy wrappers, cigarette butts, cans of kvass where the paint on the aluminum cans had faded and chipped away until they were barely legible until brought right in front of the face. There were abandoned lunch boxes, wooden boxes, and cardboard. Laying soaked in one salty puddle Tsung counted at least one wayward sock, forever divorced from the regular laundry.<br/><br/>They seemed to be following the trail of blood deeper still into the tunnels. The drops becoming much more regular and staggered as they wove from wall to wall. Their pray was tiring, becoming disoriented and tired in its frantic escape through the underground.<br/><br/>It was also here when the rocky walls and the exposed surfaces of the tunnel became much more dramatic.<br/><br/>As their lights opened up into a wider chamber carved into the rock the rock face exploded in front of their eyes in a plethora of hues and colors unmatched in any underground. Fiery reds and oranges banded together with nearly phosphorescent, photosynthetic greens and blues. Soft tans and beige crowned with bands of silvery white and gray.<br/><br/>Across the floor milky pools of green water swam with clouds of disturbed white and black like a cosmic display of suspension. Tsung was taken back as he mouthed his wonder at the wider cave. Rising the lantern higher to cast more light against the walls and ceiling.<br/><br/>Cut into the rock face concentric series of circular cuts were carved in succession like primordial design on porcelain and ceramic wares. They decorated the walls, etched into the mineral rich rock face from where workers more than a decade previous had bore into the rock wall with great grinding machines to collect the sparkling rock dust that would fall from the walls as they worked. Rusting iron spokes in the ceiling and walls from where electrical cables would have ran added to the color, granting the walls streaks of red as bright as blood from a fresh wound.<br/><br/>“He must have passed through here, the water is disturbed.” Hui pointed out, but Tsung hardly paid attention as he followed them at a distance into the oily, brine water that pooled at the bottom of this chamber, which had to be two stories tall by his estimation.<br/><br/>“We'll have to find where his trail picks up when we find a way out.” the MP added.<br/><br/>“If we do.” said Hui. The light from the flashlight swept across the wall only livening the drama of the colorful walls by making mineral spots glimmer bright like stars, even as the beam passed away from the spot they shone with the reflected light like small mirror dots.<br/><br/>Tsung wasn't paying much attention as he marveled, or at least until the gunshot. It tore apart the silent stillness in the cavern. More than that: it destroyed that. The compactness of the space echoed and amplified it and Tsung's ears rang terribly as he recoiled around to watch the MP standing with his hands clutched to his through. A long deep gash along the side squirted blood so thick in the moment it took for him to press against the wound his fingers were already heavy with it. Tsung was caught in horror, his heart palpitating fast as the MP stepped back several steps and fell back in the shallow ankle-high water around them, choking and sputtering through his final breaths as the water filled with the blood that squirted out in volumes from his neck.<br/><br/>Hui was the first to move, as he bound behind a column of rock. A second shot from the Russian spy's gun scattered Tsung and he himself dove to the safety of cover as the oil lantern exploded in his hands. The flame caught the fuel as he moved to the side, catching a splash of hot burning lantern fuel on his arms as he dove into cover.<br/><br/>The hot flames on his arm burned and in his panic he began slapping his arm with his hand, hoping to dose the flames. When that didn't work and the burning across his arm rose he surrendered to chance and dove his arm into the water and began loudly splashing. Between Hui and the Russian thief, fire was exchanged and each gunshot rang louder than a church bell in the enclosed space. The smell of gun smoke quickly came to overcome the smell of brine and the harsh humidity.<br/><br/>The MP's flashlight still shone in the water, giving the entire chamber an eerie aquatic glow as bright bands of light through rippling waves filtered across the exposed rock surfaces and lit the watery floor in bright colorful hues. Furthermore, the shot-through lantern had leaked its burning oil in the water which left a floating pool of flame an arm's reach from Tsung, spreading a harsh red-orange glow on the walls and further casting the chamber in harsh fire-light and knife sharp shadows.<br/><br/>Tsung picked himself up, fishing himself out of the water as well as his gun. Turning to look around the dark-side of the column of rock, the fire-fight had already stopped. A hanging silence filled the chamber that only accentuated the tinny ringing in his ears. He looked nervously to Hui, who returned the favor.<br/><br/>There was a moments worth of quiet hesitation in the air before Hui spoke. “Cover me.” he commanded. His voice was heavy and nervous though all the same, he lowered himself and crept through the water with his pistol raised, the barrel still smoked from the fire-fight that had just ensued. But the memory hardly mattered as much as Tsung heard his heart through the persistent ringing in his ears.<br/><br/>He drove a tank, why was he so bothered by this fire-fight?<br/><br/>Rounding the last column Hui pointed his gun down. Tsung had hardly watched the fire-fight ensue, but it didn't take much imagination to piece the scene back together. Hui stood up straight, holstering his side-arm as he picked up a leather-bound folder from the water.<br/><br/>“He's dead.” he said in a solemn tone, turning to walk to Tsung. He rung his fingers across his bald head as he turned to look down at the dead MP laying in the turning water, the fire from the broken lantern getting all too close to him. “How are you?” he asked Tsung.<br/><br/>The question was like a scissor cutting a string that was all too tight, it brought the young soldier back violently and he collapsed in the water shaking. “Oh, fuck.” he moaned to himself, “fuck, fuck.”<br/><br/>Hui walked up alongside his shaking crew-mate and patted his head, “It's alright, we're done here.” he said in a comforting tone. Or he hoped they were, with the stolen papers under his arm. He turned to look at the positions of the two bodies and solemnly nodded his head, “We'll get someone else to come down here and pick these two up.” he told his comrade, who was at the edge of hysteric tears as the entire situation came down on him, and the adrenaline rush came to a sudden and violent crash. It wouldn't be long until the stinging pain of an arm sized burn would creep up from his skin.<br/><br/>He wasn't supposed to be here. He shouldn't have been. What the fuck?<br/><br/>“Get your composure back and we'll head up to meet the rest.”</div>"

The Africans were dug in at the center of town, fortifying their location with walls of scrap wood and steel rails anchored between ruined buildings. This battle was supposed to be over and the Africans in rout, but against the common sense of every Spanish soldier their enemy was still on the field inflicting unsettling casualties. For Alvar Panzano this was his first taste of battle. He was with the reserves that were brought in on the fifth day of combat, and he was licking his lips for the chance to prove himself. <br/><br/>Colonel Honorato Inigo de Loiola led Panzano's section of the field. He was a brutal man - a Basque, who was often seen near the front line looking at enemy positions with a hungriness befitting a lion. He was middle aged, with a trimmed red beard and mustache that obscured his mouth, and there was a sinewy dark look about him. It had been his idea to take anti-armor guns meant for the African tanks and turn them on positions fortified by infantry. And it had been his idea to press an attack, an idea he expressed to the men like clockwork every day, though high command stalled and waited for some perfect moment that did not seem to be coming.<br/><br/>Alvar sat behind cover in the same place he had used all week. It was a crumbled mudbrick house, with a few shattered and shredded decorations on the wall, and furniture that had been blasted to kindling and cotton fluff. Alvar slept the last two nights in its walls. The first night he had shared his hiding place with the grey-eyed corpse of a young boy. He must have been ten or eleven years old, and the crusted blood on the back of the dead boy's head told exactly how he had died. Alvar wondered what kind of child let himself get stuck in the middle of a battlefield. The elderly, sure, they couldn't help it. But the young didn't get that excuse; he looked like he'd been healthy, what the hell made him stay to become a civilian cadaver? The next day the body was carted off to be burned behind the lines, leaving Alvar with more room to stretch. <br/><br/>There was not enough action for Alvar. Colonel Inigo de Loiola had ordered two assaults across the rail yard, but they had come to nothing. Other brigades put pressure on the flanks, but the enemy held strong in the thin alleyways and streets at the center of town. Now the two forces were stuck, taking pot-shots at each other from deteriorating nests. <br/><br/>""Command needs <span class=""bb-i"">huevos</span>! Do you men have any spares? Maybe something left behind by the desert negros?"" The Colonel said loudly so all the men on that block could hear when he arrived that morning. He looped his thumbs on his belt and walked with a smile on his face and frustration simmering in his eyes. His staff car idled nearby, and Alvar noticed two officers waiting in the backseat of that car, watching the Colonel and the troops with a pair of matching suspicious scowls. The Colonel stopped and stood in the middle of where the soldiers were gathered, and they all surrounded him as a loud buzzing wing of Spanish fighters flew over and strafed enemy positions just half a mile away. The enemy air force no longer had control of the airspace above the city, which only made the Spaniards more frustrated that the city hadn't fallen yet. <br/><br/>""I think you men could take those positions easily if we all got together and attacked at once."" the Colonel explained. He had heard this speech before, or variations of it at least, but it never failed to make him feel proud to the point of giddiness. Of fucking course they could take it! These were negros, they weren't supposed to be holding their own, and revanchist reminders of Coquilhatville in '55 bothered the Spaniards in the darkest moments of their constant downtime.<br/><br/>But no bad memories of Coquilhatville bothered the soldiers now. ""Yes!"" ""Let's Go!"" ""Fuck the negros!"" ""God is with us."" the soldiers all shouted at once. Alvar added ""Let's kill them!"" to the noise and watched the officers in the back of the staff car shift uncomfortably and fix their frosty gazes toward nothing at all. That told a story. In this moment, if the Colonel had asked them to follow him back home and overthrow the Prime Minister himself, Alvar wouldn't have questioned.<br/><br/>""This is good."" Inigo de Loiola grinned mischievously under a bushy mustache. ""You are men! I will see you later today. Remember what you have felt just now, because you will be able to use that soon.""<br/><br/>With that, the Colonel climbed in the staff car and drove off. The officers with him did not seem too interested in him, and they continued to stare at nothing until the car had disappeared behind a corner and Alvar could no longer see them. Inigo de Loiola left the soldiers at a rise and with nothing to do; cock blocked, like all of their girlfriends had arrived, given them a few sucks, and then abandoned them right there with their wet shafts bobbing unfinished in the air. There was fight in them now, and nothing to do with it. Alvar grabbed his rifle and went into a nearby building some other soldiers were using as cover in their sporadic shooting match with the Ethiopians.<br/><br/>It was unnervingly quiet, where all the fighting was far away. There were other men in here, some with guns and others with larger anti-armor rifles. The later were long, unwieldy guns that shot high-caliber rounds normally meant to bore through the armor of a tank. They were using them now because the Ethiopians had spent most of their armor in the opening fight, and the men knew an anti-tank round would make a pretty little mess out of an unarmored infantryman. Most of Alvar's comrades looked vigilantly out the window, though a few gave him a suspicious glance before going back to whatever they were doing before. They were covered in grime the same color as their brown desert combat fatigues, where only the whites of their eyes seemed to be clean. Alvar took a position at a window and gingerly looked out at the rail yard.<br/><br/>All sounds of combat seemed to be elsewhere, echoing far away. This was the center of the battlefield, and like the heart of a storm, all the violence surrounded it while leaving that center in an unsettling calm. It was a short decline to the railyard, where the African rail used to lay. All that was left were old wooden ties. At the top of the rise was a multi-story apartment building the enemy held as their fortification. The small but steep hill that rose to meet the apartment was covered in brush. There was a wide bridge off to the side that crossed the yard, wide enough a tank could easily cross it. That was what made this place so vital - there were few places in this part of the town Spanish armor could use to move further in. They had already tried it though. The Ethiopians had rocket launchers and mortars in the game, and they had already exploded one tank in the center of the bridge so that the Spaniards now had to take control of the position before they could move more armor up to fight.<br/><br/>""How do you spell <span class=""bb-i"">'testament'</span>?"" Alvar heard a soldier from C Company talking to one of his comrades. He knew their company for the scorpion patch they sewed to their uniforms. He lost track of their conversation for a moment when he looked out and took a peak at the railyard below again. The indentations left by the pulled tracks could still be seen. Spanish corpses strew the field without ceremony. He saw where one man had been shot clear through the head, and his body lay lifeless against a rail tie.<br/><br/>""I don't know what to write."" Alvar overheard the man speak again. He tuned back into the conversation in the broken house between the soldiers in C Company. There was an awkward sort of giddiness in the other man's voice. ""I suppose I should leave my college fund to my sister, you know? She is younger. She can use it.""<br/><br/>""That is a good idea."" his comrade said mildly. Alvar looked over to them. One was writing on a scrap of paper propped on his knee while the other watched out the window and calmly smoked a cigarette.<br/><br/>Nothing continued to happen. Alvar moved over to where the men of his platoon were standing, and they did their best to ignore him. Bastards. He hated them for how they treated him. They still hadn't gotten over the gossip from Djibouti, and most of the men ostracized him. It was rare for him to look at their faces and not imagine his fingers on their throats, choking them so fierce that their skin peeled beneath the force of his grip. <br/><br/>""Fonseca."" Alvar greeted in a bland voice.<br/><br/>""Fuck."" Fonseca muttered back. He had his eye aimed down the barrel of an anti-tank rifle, and he did not look up at Alvar.<br/><br/>""Can I try out the anti-tank gun? You can take a break, take a piss or...""<br/><br/>""Fuck off Panzano."" Fonseca muttered. Alvar turned tomato red. Piece of shit! Bitch! Alvar seethed. The dishonor of the way he was treated! ""<span class=""bb-i"">Me cago en la leche de la puta que te date la luz.</span>."" he growled.<br/><br/>""Fuck off Panzano."" Fonseca repeated before Alvar got his last syllable out. <br/><br/>A sharp and quick roar from overhead cut them off. ""Mortars!"" somebody shouted. With that call, everybody dove for cover. The shells landed all along that block, sending up dust and pulverized brick and causing it to rain down all around. Alvar had his head buried into the ground so that he did not see the strikes, but he could feel them. Every hit caused the ground beneath his face to vibrate in an ominous way. When it was done, the sudden cacophony gave way to that strange war-time version of silence that had been in place before. He could hear moaning somewhere outside of the building. <br/><br/>Everyone looked up cautiously, one man after another. There was a fog of thick particles that obscured everything at first. They could see how the walls had been shifted and scarred by the blast. Finally, as each man got his bearings, his eyes would inevitably drift to the corner where one of the men who had been sitting silently moments earlier now lay as a casualty of the war. His arms were twisted and broken, and the skin on his face had been burned away so completely that it looked like it had been flayed with a knife. He was dead, there was no doubt about that.<br/><br/>Gunshots rang out from the other side of the tracks. Everyone scrambled back into their positions. Bullets scattered debris, punching into walls and into the dirt. In the next moment the Spaniards were returning fire.<br/><br/>Alvar peaked out at the apartments on the enemy side of the tracks, looking hungrily for the enemy. The Spaniards returned fire like contestants at a shooting gallery. Alvar aimed his rifle and shot at a few quick flashes of enemy silhouettes. How great would it be to try this with a tank rifle?<br/><br/>""Fonseca."" Alvar started meekly.<br/><br/>""Fuck off."" he replied predictably enough. When Fonseca pulled the trigger, the resulting explosion sounded heavy and hollow, and the kick-back stirred the dirt beneath them. Alvar didn't have time to rage. He took a few shots before the shooting gallery came to an end. Everything went back to battlefield quiet. Nobody said a word. The entire scene felt heavy from the fresh corpse in the corner of the room. Two of the men got up and carried the dead man away, though the ground was still stained with his blood.<br/><br/>Very little gunfire was exchanged the rest of that morning. The noontime sun brought with it equatorial heat, and it made the Spaniards listless and bitter. Nobody said a word. They had canned meat when it came time to eat, using the peel-away lids as makeshift spoons.<br/><br/>Hours went by, or at least it felt like hours. Alvar listened to the sounds of battle for a while. They were distant patters of gunfire, the scream of fighter planes over head, and the deep resonances that could belong to either explosions or collapsing rubble. It all blended together soon enough until he felt exactly like a bored youth at an extended fireworks show, though when a shell landed nearby it never failed to wake him up and pique his awareness to a fevered level for a while. He wondered if they would ever take an Ethiopian city without destroying it. Maybe the Ethiopian capital, the name he always forgot? He briefly thought of his cousins, and the possibility of maybe finding a prostitute in the city, but the idea made him feel uncomfortable and he dropped it from his mind as quick as he could.<br/><br/>It was sometime in the afternoon when they heard another staff car drive up, and the men of the regiment crawling from their hiding places to greet it. That must mean Colonel Inigo de Loiola, everyone seemed to know that instinctively, that could be seen in everyone's eyes. It was one part hope, two parts dread, and another part a sort of relief knowing that their lives hadn't completely stalled and they could move on to the next task.<br/><br/>""Men."" Alvar saw the colonel standing like a prophet among his flock. ""I have a job for you. How would you all like to kill some negros?""<br/><br/>That was it! Men shouted their support, but it all ran together and Alvar didn't pay attention. He didn't even notice what he himself added, though he knew he shouted something too. When everyone was huddled around, the Colonel explained.<br/><br/>""I have told your officers where to go, but I feel I must tell you. There is a near-dry riverbed which leads behind the enemy and would let us cut them off, but we cannot get our armor through there. The enemy is holding the position from the steeple of a church...""<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Their regiment moved along the sides of the streets, walking slowly and hunched over like big cats on the hunt. Who knew where the enemy might be hiding? His eyes were wide and open to every small movement all around. <br/><br/>There was no real street-plan to most of Dire Dawa. People had built their houses wherever seemed good at the time, and the result was curving streets where walls and overhanging mudbrick buildings blocked lines of sight. This helped the Spaniards in some ways - their approach would be difficult to spot. But it also gave the city a labyrinth quality. Alvar could <span class=""bb-i"">feel</span> the distance between him and the place he had started, every meter adding to a sense of uncertainty and a fear that he couldn't find his way back if the worst happened. His head swam, and his hands clenched his rifle like it was the golden thread that would lead him back.<br/><br/>Nobody spoke. The reports of gunfire came closer. Their officers led them by hand signals - motion to that alley, or across that yard. When they reached open spaces and crossroads, Alvar's heart pounded, and he could feel the nerves of his comrades. They would inspect the situation, divide in two or three groups, dash across the space, and continue their prowl with each grouping on a different road. The first few times were quiet, but on the third crossroad when it was only Alvar and his platoon, their luck changed.<br/><br/>The bullet struck the dirt beneath Corporal Fonseca's feet. When he reached the other side, he immediately opened fire in the direction of the enemy, and the rest of the Spaniards came across one by one. The enemy took a few more shots, but nothing struck.<br/><br/>Fuck yes! This was living. They were getting closer.<br/><br/>The church soon came into sight. They could see it above the shorter huts. Alvar was looking at it when he heard a short-lived report of assault-rifle fire down the street. His head whirled to catch his fellow Spaniards falling into cover. A fire-fight ensued. Enemy lead chewed through the weak wooden furniture and wicker walls that decorated the outside of the homes. Alvar couldn't see the enemy. He could hardly tell where they were shooting from, aside from a vague direction. No matter. He shouldered his gun and fired. <br/><br/>The shooting continued, back and forth, a single undistinguished roar. When they realized the other side wasn't firing back, there was no time. Their position must be confirmed to their enemy now. The slow prowl was over, and the Spanish soldiers rushed forward in a sprint.<br/><br/>From then on, it was like they had crossed the event horizon; everything moved faster and faster. The first fight had been with a single Ethiopian - a man in beige fatigues with a white du-rag instead of a helmet. He had been killed by a shot to the neck, and the dead man's blood fled him quickly so his skin became grey. Alvar stared at him when they passed, and he would have stopped if things weren't in such a hurry. The fight was moving quicker.<br/><br/>It was one gunfight after a next in punishing succession. A Spaniard took a bullet to the belly and fell over into a pathetic, crying heap of wounded man. He held his hands to the wound as if he were trying to keep his blood inside, but it was clearly no use. One soldier stayed with him to return him behind the lines, and the rest dashed forward in the advance.<br/><br/>They reached the church. It was in an open area where there was a plaza filling the twenty meters or so between the church and the start of the residential maze. On the other side was the riverbed, running thin with water. Snipers were already at work from its steeple, pinning down platoons which had approached from separate streets. <br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-i"">Fuego</span>!"" the order was called as a scream so everybody could hear. Gunfire spewed from all around, and the church almost seemed to yawn from the attack. White plaster dust exhaled from its structure. When the volley was done, Alvar's platoon advanced. They burst into the church. Corporal Fonseca shot the first negro. The stone floor was littered with bleeding corpses. A gold-painted Ethiopian Cross on the wall had been turned to kindling. When he saw a bloodied negro writhing on the floor beneath him, Alvar smiled wide and drove his bayonet through his forehead. He felt the skull crumple, and the man die.<br/><br/>Alvar didn't notice he was the only man smiling among the serious and focused faces in that room.<br/><br/>With that, they had the church. The steeple had been cleared before Alvar could look up. But there was no time to get excited. The Ethiopians from the other side of the shallow river came at them now. There was no time to think. The Spaniards took positions at shattered windows.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian counter attack was a futile thing. They charged across the river and were gunned down like soldiers during the Great War. Their blood flowed into the river in thin streams. Alvar realized the church was not under any real danger, but he joined the fusillade greedily, hoping to bag him a few more negro kills before he was done.<br/><br/>It was the advancing Spanish armor that ended that. They moved up the river, somber as a funerary procession, and the weight of them crushed the bodies in the stream into a bloody mush.<br/><br/>""Why the fuck didn't we do this before."" Fonseca spat, wiping the sweat from his brow. Alvar hadn't thought about that until now. Why the fuck was Inigo de Loiola the only officer in this army that knew how to attack?</div>"

Belgium's economy collapsed after they were freed from the German Empire, despite help from Allied forces. Many of its' original citizens quickly returned to their homes and saw the damage caused by the war. Netherlands quickly closed refugee camps after the war ended, but there were still dealing with thousands of refugees. The economy of the Netherlands wasn't in better shape, because of the blockade by the United Kingdoms of Britain and Northern Ireland and the cost of refugee camps. They had no other choice and shut the camps down two weeks after the war ended. As for the refugees, they returned to Belgium in special trains paid for by the Dutch government.<br/><br/>However, many Belgians saw their homes and businesses destroyed by both sides of the war. As mentioned before, Belgium's economy was in ruins and many Belgians rushed back to the Netherlands.  In the matter of months, the population of Belgium decreased and countries', that declared neutrality before or during the Great War, population saw a massive increase. Especially the Netherlands. Many went there, because it was the cheapest option out there. From the most of the 1920s, the Dutch military patrolled the Netherlands-Belgium borders from any illegal immigrates. Often enough, they were dragged to trains or horse wagons and sent back to their country. <br/><br/>Hundreds and thousands of Belgians were caught and dragged back to Belgium for years until the country managed to repair their economy and infrastructure...”</span><br/><br/>Stefaan's focus on the book was interrupted by a knock at the door. He rolled his eyes back, closed the book, and placed it down next to the radio. The radio was still playing classical music as he got up from his chair and walked towards the door. Then, he took a look at the peephole and saw one of his neighbors at the door, Marcel. Living across the hallway of the apartment, he and Stefaan were more of acquaintances than friends but they would talk often enough. Stefaan opened the door and greeted Marcel before offering to let him in, but he politely refused. Marcel had to get ready for his new job as a gym instructor at the new gym between Amsterdam's financial and downtown area. <br/><br/>Stefaan didn't care about going to the gym and having a healthy body since he started going to the University of Amsterdam. But, there was a gym nearby the university that he was considering to check out someday. Marcel tried to make it quick as he held out an envelope in Stefaan. He started to speak about the envelope, “I found it under the door, but it didn't look suspicious at all. Because you were gone yesterday, I kept it safe so no-one else takes it.” Stefaan took the envelope for Marcel as he looked at the address and discovered that his family sent the envelope. The location was his hometown, Baarle-Nassau. A small border town, between the Netherlands and Belgium, with a population around six thousand.<br/><br/>“Thank you for keeping it safe, Marcel.” said Stefaan gratefully as he was getting ready to close the door. <br/><br/>Marcel nodded.<br/><br/>“No problem at all.”<br/><br/>Marcel left for work as Stefaan closed the door and walked towards the kitchen with the envelope. He placed it on the wooden table and looked around for a glass cup. He grabbed a clear one from the sink and fill it with water as he headed back to the table. The radio was now playing an advertisement from Thirty Seconds Over Detroit and other newly released films. He sat down and torn the envelope open and pulled the letter out. He threw the envelope to the trash can and looked at the letter. <br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">Dear Stefaan,<br/><br/>I hope that you're doing well in Amsterdam. It's such a beautiful place to be during the spring time, especially when you go to Albert Cuyp Market during the rush hour. I hope that Ethiopian lady, that sold the clothes in the market, is still there. They are still in good condition enough to wear.<br/><br/>Anyway, Baarle-Nassau has seen better days since the increased population. The town had a population of 5,700, now it's growing to 6,000. Most, if not all, of the new citizens are Belgians. It isn't only Baarle-Nassau that had an increased. Ulicoten, Castelré, and other border towns had an increased population. Especially Castelré, where it went up from 100 to 200!<br/><br/>I am worried that we are facing another crisis at our hands. Since Belgium's economy has gone downhill, there are wild rumors spreading all over the Netherlands. You must hear some of the rumors while you walk around Amsterdam. This kind of events must interest you since you are getting your major in history. Speaking of which, I hope that you're doing well in your classes. <br/><br/>Mother is doing well and still has a job down in the local market, making more money than ever. Bart finally got into the army, now he's doing training and he can become a medic. And I'm doing great too. I moved into a new house and found myself a boyfriend, a military guy like Bart; however, he's in the navy not the army.<br/><br/>You need to tell me how you are doing. After all, it took thirty minutes to write this up and I could of done something useful with that many minutes! Anyway, the family loves you and misses you. They also hope that you could come back home once awhile.<br/><br/>- Jacolien Pezie</span><br/><br/>He missed anything about his family from the mother's horrible jokes to Jacolien's cooking. And he also missed the market in his hometown. You could always find something worthy in that market, if you look carefully. He placed the letter down as he through on the current situation in Belgium. It's economy was going downhill once again and the government hasn't made any announcements about the situation. The Netherlands hasn't respond the situation at the moment; however, they are going to respond by the end of the week. Then, he got up from his chair and started to look for some paper and pen. He didn't have to write right away, but it would be nice to get something down right at the moment. <br/><br/>He went to his bedroom and straight to his desk. The desk has been around since he first moved, left by the previous owners. It was made with Teak hardwood in a Southeast Asia 'workshop' and it was old. He started checking out the drawers until he found a piece of paper and then grabbed one of the pens from the pen holders. The radio was still on the same station as Stefaan existed his bedroom. He was getting tired of listening to music, and wanted to hear the news on the television. As he was passing by it, he turned it off and quickly turned the television on. It was on NOS Journaal, the news channel, as always. <br/><br/>He liked to hear the television as he's doing something else other than watching it. And he sat back down at the chair and began to write:<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">Dear Sis, <br/><br/>It's good to see that you're writing to me. With the amount of school work, I would of forgot to write to you guys! Anyway, the city is still damn beautiful and the market is doing great. The woman is still around and selling the clothes as well, I might have to buy one for you. <br/><br/>And it's also good that the town is growing, even if it's Belgians. They are most likely staying until their country gets their shit together. So, be mindful and treat them with respect. Besides, the mayor knows what to do with this situation. Stop worrying about it and stop listening to the rumors. They are most likely made up for some reason. And if it makes you better, I often hear the rumors as well around the city.<br/><br/>The government will fix it before you know it. I trust them and you should as well.<br/><br/>Tell mother that I-</span><br/><br/>The sudden, dramatic music blasted the entire apartment room and he almost jumped from his chair. The pen was still in his hands as he forgot that the audio was that loud. He dropped the pen and rose from the chair to investigate the television. But, the first thing that he did was turning it down so the audio won't cause the cops to come over. Stefaan rolled his eyes as he realized that the music was for a commercial about saving animals with ten cents per week. He didn't believe in that kind of crap and the commercial was just to get some money. The commercial finally ended with a picture of a dog with a sad face as it went back to the news. One of the anchors smiled as they appeared on the screen, the other started to talk about a recent press conference that happened about an hour.<br/><br/>“The press conference was held by the Financial Secretary, John Vansteenkiste. He talked about different steps on how Belgium is going to deal with the current financial crisis in the country. And he warned that political unrest “unavoidably” damage the economy and cause “unwanted chaos” for the nation. Vansteenkiste talked how the Prime Minister and the King wants peace throughout the nation and finished the conference with no questions answered.”<br/><br/>Stefaan then moved towards the couch and sat down as he never knew that a press conference had happened. He kept watching the television completely forgetting about the letter as there were two more people next to the anchorman. The letter was going to be finished later on the night after the news would end. Plus, the information provided could be useful for his debate club.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Amsterdam, Netherlands</span></span><br/><br/>	The warning about possible political unrest in Belgium was terrifying for the Dutch government. They didn't thought that Belgium would suffer another financial crisis, the worst financial crash that the government even had since the end of the Great War. Still, there were plans in place if something like would happen again. Since the Netherlands remained neutral throughout the war, the country didn't have to make any sacrifices unlike Belgium.<br/><br/>Prime Minister Rikkert Wiecherink was on the phone as he just learned of the news moments ago. The beloved Prime Minister of the Netherlands was a conservative and related to Antoon Wiecherink, the famous Dutch politician that kept the Stelling van Amsterdam for shutting down and becoming a landmark. Despite advances in technology, Antoon and his supporters stool for the fort and it didn't shut down. In fact, the Dutch government is currently in plans to update the defense line. On the other line was the Minister of Defense, Theun Groot Overmeene. He also was a part of the movement to keep the same fort from shutting down as well. A gifted general of the Dutch navy, Overmeene is overseeing the entire fleet and patrolled the East Indies in his youth until the government lost control. Now, he was overseeing the entire Dutch military and kept a close eye on recent events in Africa.<br/><br/>“We need to do something about the so-called 'protesters' at Belgium before its too late.”<br/><br/>Overmeene was worried that communists, socialists, liberals, and every other political party in the country were going to rebel against King Baudouin. Most of the European nations had 'recovered' from the damages caused by the Great War. Belgium was going to be a problem for the European nations if Baudouin were to be overthrown by a left-wing political party or even a socialist party. China and her allies would also take advantage of this moment.<br/><br/>“We will, Overmeene.” the Prime Minister ensured the Minister that the discussion of Belgium will happen. However, the Minister always wanted results right away rather than waiting for them. He lacked any form of patience, but he often got results quicker that way. Overmeene tried to present his reasons for holding an emergency meeting.<br/><br/>“Sir, we can't wait until Friday to talk about it. Something bad could happen during the week and we won't be ready for it. You and I know that those college students can get a bit rowdy when they don't like something or someone. I am afraid that will protest about it and then they'll have a revolt on their hands. That is why I think that you should hold an emergency meeting with the other ministers.”<br/><br/>Wiecherink was used for Overmeene's reasons and theories, even if they were a bit outrageous. He quietly groaned before he spoke up to calm his fears. <br/><br/>“Listen, friend, you got nothing to worry about. The students are unorganized, stupid people that haven't matured yet. Trust me, the police will put them down before they do fight against the 'corrupted government'. Plus, the rest of Europe will be against the new government if they successfully revolt. I think that you can wait three days and nothing 'terrible' will happen during them. I suggest that you start drinking some tea, it makes you calm after a busy day at work.”<br/><br/>After giving the advice, he looked at the clock and lied to the Minister that he 'had something planned with his family'. He hung up and sighed as he was getting tired of the long phone call. The office was silent as he started to think about replacing the old minister; however, he had been friends with the man for thirty-three years. His thoughts were also about the problems facing Belgium and the rest of the world, especially with the war between Spain and Ethiopia. Then, he got up from his seat and walked out of his office to get some tea. He really needed some tea.</div>"

They spent a week there looking at the smouldering city and listening the echoes of gunfire and exploding munitions. For Bucephelus Scott, war was familiar enough he could make some guesses at what the Spanish were doing. The terrain here was open and awkward. It was a place of rocky hills and vast country, and the Ethiopians knew every inch of it. The Europeans would avoid fighting in the mountains for as long as they could, and would focus on hopping from town to town. And from what little Buck Scott knew had learned about this place and its people, that strategy would hurt Spain. This wasn't a nation of city dwellers. Life breathed out from the rural villages, so even if the Spanish should take the cities, every village would defy them.<br/><br/>Buck Scott was starting to know his men. They came from all over the world. More than half were blacks, out of the ghettos and southern farms of America, the sun-drenched slums of the Caribbean, and the poverty of Latin America. Some had lived in England for some time until the racism of that government led them into this fight, and others immigrated from further away. There were whites too - socialists and liberals, communists and mercenaries. There was a union boy from Appalachia who wore a red bandana around his neck, and a young Chinese from Shanghai who had left China before that country entered the war. There was no standard language among the Internationals. Spanish was the common tongue for many, while others tried to learn Amharic. English also held sway, since it was Buck's language and his position as their Fitewrari gave it some prestige.<br/><br/>Bill Vipperman, a West Virginian who spoke something akin to English, had taken a particular shine to hanging around the Fitewrari in their hill camp. Buck would find a rock to rest on, one he could sit and look out at Dire Dawa, and Bill Vipperman would come up and try to force conversation. When Buck went down to his spot that morning, sure enough it wasn't long before Bill joined him and started droning on about something. Buck answered curtly and didn't pay much attention until slowly choice words peaked his interest.<br/><br/>""This is the way I see segregation, General."" Bill said. ""People's happier among their own folk. Now don't mistake me, I don't like them KKK boys none, but they are the extreme.""<br/><br/>""Mhm"" Buck nodded. This topic. How was it appropriate?<br/><br/>""Well, think about this country right here. This is a good country full of good black folk. But if me and my kind moved in down the block from that Emperor? Or we set up somewhere in the hills next to one of these colored villages up here, how you think these folk would react with their shouting 'Fair-En-Jay' all the time? Well, my folk wouldn't belong.""<br/><br/>""You think colored folk need to leave America, Bill?"" Buck replied calmly.<br/><br/>There was a pause, where Buck could almost hear Bill's mind working out how to crawl up from the hole he was digging himself. ""Naw, Naw."" he finally started. ""Colored folk helped build America, I have no problem there. But I'm sayin' that our folk might have less to disagree with if we keep split up. You know, like how you grow crops. You keep your corn in one patch, and your pun'kins in another patch.""<br/><br/>""The ol' Injuns used to grow them all together, all their crops."" Buck replied. ""Helped the soil out is what I hear.""<br/><br/>""Aw, but what the ol' Injuns know anyway?"" Bill said. ""Look what all they know got them to? Hell, I never met an Injun until I joined the International Sef-aRR-ray here.""<br/><br/>There was another pause. Both men looked out at the smoking remnants of Dire Dawa. They couldn't really see the fighting from here. Sometimes they could see the fighter planes from the sun glinting off their fuselages. They would weave together and dance and dive, the chopping reports of heavy guns rending the air. Other times they would dip at the ground and open fire on targets the Interationals could not see. At this moment, however, the sky was quiet.<br/><br/>Another man came up to them. He was one of the Jamaicans, an ink-black man with heavy dreads. ""There a message fi yuh Fitewrari di Ras wa wi dung inna di city"" he said.<br/><br/>""The city?"" The Fitewrari hopped off his rock. ""How many of us?"" Though it was called a Sefari, the Internationals were only about the size of a single brigade.<br/><br/>""All of wi sah. Wi being call up to di battle.""<br/><br/>The men hastily packed camp and gathered to march. Buck Scott felt a hint of pride in that. He had drilled them some, not as much he wanted to though, and it gave him a shot of confidence to see that they knew their basic soldiering. The veterans had something to do with it, he knew that in his gut. There were so many veterans here, of so many wars. Men who had fought in America and Canada, in Russia and in the Philippines, in Armenia, Italy, and in other parts of Africa. Damn. So much <span class=""bb-i"">war</span>. How was the world still standing? It was rare for something like that to strike Buck so suddenly, and perhaps it was because how so uncharacteristic that feeling was that it passed as soon as the International Sefari began its descent into the battlefield.<br/><br/>They followed a goat path down. The rocky soil shifted beneath their feet and gave the feeling that one was unbalanced. The hills were covered in brush, rare patches of green grass, and a few sparse and dry acacia trees. Africa. There was a magic to this continent. Every black man and woman in America would say the same thing, but Buck had been cynical about the effect until he arrived. What was it about this place that made him feel warm and happy? This place with its villages, the tribal traditions like gugs fighting, and their strange food. Perhaps it was as simple as its Emperor. Yaqob II had invited him to be a guest. How strange was that? If Buck Scott did as little as drive into the same neighborhood the mayor of Kentucky lived in, any black man could bet he'd be pulled over and cited for some bullshit reason. But not here, not in the motherland. He had met the Emperor. He had been his <span class=""bb-i"">guest</span>. He had sensed in Yaqob a young man with an old soul. That man had a way of making a person feel warm and comfortable by his presence, but there was a melancholy hiding thin beneath the surface. And why wouldn't it? There was nobody in the world as burdened as that Emperor as far as Buck could tell.<br/><br/>When they reached the main road they found it trafficked with Ethiopians moving in both directions. Some were on foot, others in trucks or staff cars, or even walking alongside pack camels. There were corpses left on the side of the road where men had died from their wounds, or where enemy strafing runs had shot them dead. A lightly armored truck with a machine-gun mounted in its bed burned on the side of the road, and they had to give it a wide berth to avoid the scalding heat of the flames. Some of the native Africans stared at them, others completely ignored them, but it seemed to always be one of those extremes, and each look was grim.<br/><br/>War. It was exactly how he remembered it from his Vancouver days. The Ethiopian soldiers were bruised and covered in grime, and their uniforms hung torn on their bodies. He could see how tired they were - that kind of tired only a soldier could know, where every inch of their bodies and every facet of their souls were drained. It showed it their faces. No life, not now. They were the walking numb, like one might imagine the victims in a leper colony looking before parts started dropping. Every step they took was a heroic feat of strength and survival. Buck would be there soon. He didn't look forward to it, but it was going to happen. What could he say? It was his fault. He had signed up for this after all.<br/><br/>The city of Dire Dawa started with scattered huts and mudbrick homes. They began to stack on one another. Stone buildings came next, and then torn market stalls and real roads. The battle roared here, sounds from all across the city. They arrived in a city center, where a statue of a European man reigned. Wounded men were laying in stretchers all throughout the central plaza. There were the bloodied, the gauzed, the limbless, the dying, and the dead, all laid out while women and old men did their best to care for them. Without asking for orders, the few medically trained men among the Internationals went to work. Buck didn't stop them. These Africans needed the help.<br/><br/>""Where is Ras?"" Buck asked the first knowledgeable looking Ethiopian on the field; a nut-brown man with a thin face and bright, tired eyes. He wore white robes, a belt with a knife, and held a rifle in his hands. The man pointed forward toward the sound of the battle.<br/><br/>They found Hassan near a bombed-out multistory apartment building. Ras Hassan. He had heard the name so much, in the news before he arrived, and in Ethiopia, and among the Ethiopians. Who he met was a thick-set man, almost fat. His black-grey hair receded into a widows peak and he had a fresh crop of thick stubble on his face. Buck noticed the man had vaguely lighter skin than most - a dark tan, with a pointed nose that made him look un-African. A dramatic scar on his face suggested an equally dramatic personality. The stars and crown insignia on his shoulder identified him to Buck. And there was his manner too... he gave off that air of Command.<br/><br/>""Ras."" Buck saluted. He almost added 'Sir', but not knowing how to say that in Amharic, he swallowed the word. ""Fitawrari Bucephelus Scott reporting.""<br/><br/>Hassan looked at his strangely, and the corners of his mouth curled with amusement. ""Fitawrari?"" the Ras looked him up and down. ""You have the Internationals.""<br/><br/>""Yes, Ras.""<br/><br/>Hassan nodded and turned to give a sealed envelope to an Arabic-looking man standing nearby him. ""Move"" the Ras growled. The man stiffly bowed and walked away from the scene. Hassan gave his attention back to Buck. ""The Ferengi have take my sky, Fitewrari. I cannot trust my supply lines while I'm concentrated in this place. I need to extract this army from Dire Dawa and spread a line into the countryside."" Hassan explained. ""I want to have all my armies when I do that.""<br/><br/>""What do you need us to do?"" Buck didn't hesitate to ask. How odd it was to be talking to a person as... infamous as this one. Buck held that thought inside.<br/><br/>Hassan pulled a map from his pocket, unfolded it, and slammed it against the crumbling wall of the apartment building, holding it firm with the palm of his hand. It was a nice map, detailed, but marked with handwritten notes. ""This is where we are."" he pointed somewhere in the southern edge of the town. ""This snaking blank line you see here, that is the river. That is where they will get us. I think you understand what I am saying already.""<br/><br/>""Yes."" Buck said. ""Where is the best place to hold it?""<br/><br/>""That is the problem."" Hassan said. ""There is no best place. The bend of a river might help you some, but you will be up against their tanks. I am sure of that.""<br/><br/>Were they being sacrificed? That was a deflating possibility. They were foreigners in this land, and this was a country that didn't seem to like foreigners. But he was a soldier. He pushed those doubts back. ""We'll give you some time."" he said dutifully.<br/><br/>Hassan betrayed what almost looked like momentary relief. ""I want to pull back and hold them at the heights south of town. My men do not fight well in the city, so we will make a new battle-line in the bush. Ten miles south of here is where the Harari plateau rises. When it time, that is where you will regroup with us.""<br/><br/>""We will meet again, then."" Buck said. Hassan's face went placid, and he paid Buck a respectful look. They parted. His presence, and the fact Buck had met a man such as him, stayed with him until the fighting was joined. <br/><br/>The Internationals spread out along the riverbank. It was shallow enough that casualties which lay on the floor of the river were mostly dry above the mud-colored water. Buck's men hid in the bushes, and against the walls of Dire Dawa. They took places on both sides of the river and spread out to make themselves difficult to target. Men fondled the grenades on their belts, and those with high-caliber rifles or rocket launchers loaded them.<br/><br/>Buck took a place near the back of their gauntlet so he could oversee it. From there, he could see Ethiopian solders step from their retreating clusters and hand unseen objects to grateful Internationals. That peaked his interest, but he was too far from the road to tell what it was that was being exchanged. <br/><br/>""Do you hear them?"" an officer nearby said. That was Major Adcox; a British-born colored man of Caribbean heritage. <br/><br/>Buck had heard before. The enemy armor. Gunfire slowed down so that the approaching roar of tanks was that much more obvious. It triggered memories of the fighting in the fields around Aldergrove during the Vancouver war. The hum of several dozen diesel engines was like walking between two trees colonized by bees, and it made a man just anxious. <br/><br/>They appeared. Centauros, the workhorse of the Spanish and their allies; and the bulkier Musteños, which they kept for themselves. There was a strange moment of quiet, as if this were all a parade, but when the targets made themselves broad against the walls, International rockets began to hiss and armor-piercing rifles opened fire. <br/><br/>How about that, Buck thought. Spain had challenged Ethiopia, and now for the first time the <span class=""bb-i"">whole world</span> answered them. <br/><br/>Turrets turned slow and mechanically. They spat fire, and the Internationals along the front wavered, the line of them looking together the same way a sheet looks after a short gust of breeze. Gunfire opened up from the cracks of the buildings behind the tanks, and Spanish infantry melted out, finding cover before the Internationals regained their composure. <br/><br/>""Come on."" Buck said to the men about him. They checked their safeties and advanced to the fight. Everyone spread out to avoid becoming targets. <br/><br/>Two tanks had been brought down by the initial International volley. One smouldered and burned, and the other had just sort of stopped. The second became another form of cover for the enemy. Buck picked a number of men and led them personally to try and find a new angle they could fire from. One of them placed in his hand what looked like a tin can with a handle made from chicken-wire.<br/><br/>""This?"" Buck motioned with the thing. ""Are we in a cartoon?""<br/><br/>The man shrugged. ""Africans gave us some.""<br/><br/>There was fighting between the buildings. The streets and alleys here were not laid out like at home - there was no order. It made it easier to hide, and easier to ambush. The Spaniards didn't give. Gunfire peppered everything, and chewed through fences of woven sticks until piles of shavings and toothpicks remained.<br/><br/>But he couldn't fucking see them except for flashes. A helmet here, or arm there. Choke-points choked with bullets. Instinct. Buck raised, pulled the trigger, swung forward, repeated. The Spanish on this side of the river were separated from their comrades, and the effect of the International advance was to drive them back.<br/><br/>It stopped at the opening at the edge of the shallow water. Tanks were crawling up the winding riverbed, and water frothed against their treads. Buck realized there was a chance of being cut off here. No time to waste. They tossed grenades - the ones they had brought, and the jury-rigged cans the Africans had handed them. Fire bloomed on armored plating, and reflected on brown water. One tank slowed as the rubber of its treads melted beneath a blaze. The machine ahead of it turned its turret. It fired, and a man Buck did not know exploded from the torso, everyone around him falling singed and covered in blood. They couldn't stand here. Buck gave the signal, and they moved back into the housing. <br/><br/>That was the nature of the fighting, and it continued that way. The enemy armor pushed forward, undaunted by casualties, and Buck realized the line couldn't hold indefinitely. How much time had they given Hassan? Buck couldn't tell if it was twenty minutes or two hours. He didn't know if his men had anything more to give, but they <span class=""bb-i"">had</span> to give more. When the fight was pushed into the central square, Buck was relieved to see it mostly evacuated. A silent, broken city was left behind them. The wounded in the square had been taken, but the dead had not, and the corpses of hundreds of Africans covered in bloody blankets dotted the ground. The Internationals skipped across, minding the dead, and hurried to a hill overlooking the square. There they could purchase some more time.<br/><br/>It was a wooded hill, covered in spindly trees and thick brush. A palatial home stood at its crest overlooking the town square. They kicked down the door and went inside. Louis XIV furniture and a Gothic taste in art made every room feel like something from a Victorian mansion. They busted the windows and scattered what was in their way until the acrid smells of war and horror filled the stately rooms.<br/><br/>From this place they could pin the Spanish infantry down, and that is what they did. The tanks continued their procession forward despite the crossing gunfire. There was a brief second, just as the tanks entered into the square, where the lead driver seemed to realize the path was strewn with neat rows of blanketed dead. You could see his realization play out in the quick stutter of his engine, and a hiccup in the advance. But there was no alternate way forward. The rows of tanks plodded over the corpses, leaving a trail of gore behind them. <br/><br/>This was one of those moments in his life that reached right up, slapped Buck on the face, and said to him <span class=""bb-i"">'This is war, damn you. This is war.'</span><br/><br/>A rocket hissed from its launcher held by a man next to a chiffonier. It missed its target. A desperation set in on the hill. Buck felt glass crunch beneath his feet when he thrust himself out the window and shot toward their enemy. No effect. Spanish tanks poured into the central courtyard. They erupted, pouring shells back, and the hill beneath them shook. Walls ripped, plaster became dust, and men fell back into the house. They heard glass shatter on the second floor. Buck was hurled back onto the ground, and the air was punched from out of him. He took a few wheezing, coughing breaths. His lungs felt full of cinders. When he had gained his composure, he stood. ""We need to go back."" he exclaimed. ""Toward the hills. Fight! Fight!""<br/><br/>Dire Dawa became a running retreat. The power of the Spanish advance had broken through, and trying to stop it now would risk capture or complete collapse. They rushed out among where the acacias had stood, but where now only stakes carved from gunfire remained. They would find a wall and wait for the enemy to approach, then they would open fire and scatter away. This went on, over mud walls and behind trees. They continued until they reached the hills, where they met White-robed soldiers prepared to defend their retreat. <br/><br/>They were clear of the fighting now. Buck looked at the sky, expecting enemy aircraft to strafe them, but none came. He saw the faces of his men - hollow and expressionless. How many had seen war before? For how many was this their first sight of it? When had he first seen battle? It was all muddled for them too.<br/><br/>""Goddamned."" he heard the low-tone twang of Bill Vipperman's voice come from behind him. The West Virginian spat wad of blood into the grass.<br/><br/>""You wounded some?"" Buck asked.<br/><br/>""No sir."" Bill replied. ""I bit my damn lip back yonderways.""<br/><br/>Both men laughed darkly. </div>"

Without the small fire that Ullanhu kept in the fire-pit in the living room than its spectral chill would have fallen across the three men as they sat looking into the low flames crackling in the brick fireplace. The wood had been gathered from dry sticks of pine and other assorted trees not far from the farm-house where a stand of trees had been found. Every so often a loud pop would spring out from the crackling fire and erupt a storm of hot sparks up through the chimney.<br/><br/>The two kidnappers and their presidential pray sat scattered in the room but the light from the fire cast long shadows across the floor and up along the walls to the ceiling. The inky dark shapes made the ghostly impression of three more with them all, hovering overhead like reaper's aids bent over to collect a debt. And it could have been, all three were deathly silent as they watched the fire waiting for sleep to come.<br/><br/>Earlier that evening Belyakov had for once been undone from his bindings so he could eat and take a shit. As an extra courtesy Ullanhu, who had been watching him, allowed him to wash up a bit from water drawn from the well. The fat balding president was too tired, or too afraid to run as he waited for the bucket to be drawn up so he could at least clean his face before retiring back to his chair prison. Vasiliy had protested, but not for long before retiring to fixing their new escape vehicle. It was coming along well he had said at the time. And now it was finished and they'd be ready to leave come the morning. They both knew they had stayed in the house for too long and were afraid someone would be catching up soon, even deep down they had already caught up and were waiting.<br/><br/>Perhaps staying awake for so long and attempting to conquer the night then was some move to suggest to their pursuers that they would be aware and able to move for a long time, and there would be no surprise.<br/><br/>There was a crack from the fire pit, and they did not stir. From outside a stick snapped and Vasiliy looked up, nonplussed. “Probably an animal.” he remarked suspiciously turning back to the fire.<br/><br/>There hadn't been so much as a tin full of tea in the house found in previous explorations, or anything to help Ullanhu keep himself awake. He was beginning to feel the heavy hand of sleep on his eyes and he wondered if he could pull the unspoken all-nighter as he sat cross-legged on the floor. Alongside him Belyakov sat motionless as he lay his chin against his chest as he dozed contently.<br/><br/>Despite having washed his walrus face earlier that day he did little to relieve the thick oiliness that had become what little hair he had left. Neither did it do much for the suit they had captured him in so many days ago. Both hung heavy to his heavy fatty papa-bear build. If things continued on as-is, it would not be surprising to see Belyakov as the caricatures he grew up seeing of the defeated the defeated western bourgeoisie when they were cast from their ivory mansions in Asia and abroad.<br/><br/>Ullanhu found himself lost in his thoughts when a resounding crack rang out in the still night and the window shattered inward. There was a zinging zip of a bullet cracking through the air that tore apart the silent din of the night with split seconds timing. Moments later Belyakov was laying across the floor crying in pain and both agents were pressed against the ground as a volley of small-arms fire peppered the farmhouse cabin.<br/><br/>Clouds of plaster and splinters of wood filled the air as cracking bullets slammed and cut through the walls and cut through the window frames. There was a furious roar like a storm-cloud from somewhere outside and the sleep's hands was torn away from Ullanhu's brow as adrenaline exploded into his system. Their suspicious fears were not unfounded as the night was full of gunfire that roared and assailed their position for a solid minute turning the walls into a lunar moonscape of bullet holes and clouded the air with a cloudy smoke of wood and plaster dust that they breathed in and coughed.<br/><br/>Alexander Belyakov still hollered in pain as he lay on the ground. A pool of blood formed around the side of his head and he squinted an eye closed as it was pressed in the growing puddle.<br/><br/>As suddenly as it stopped, it ended. Leaving both agents laying sprawled and stunned in the dusty air as it slowly came to settle about them. Somewhere outside in the night there was a crackling sound of static and the pop of speakers coming to life.<br/><br/>“Surrender the pig!” a voice demanded in deep growling Russian. His deep guttural growling echoed in the silent chill broken only by the popping of the fire. Ullanhu rose coughing.<br/><br/>“Check Belyakov!” Vasiliy demanded in a harsh whisper as he hobbled over to the window. Lights emerged from the night-time wilderness and he looked out over the window sill to see an array of automotive headlines arrayed on the hill tops, their incandescent yellow beams aimed down at the cabin and filled the yard with a faint glow. As Ullanhu looked up to see what was going on, he had to squint against the sudden sharp light bearing down at them.<br/><br/>Ullanhu went to Belyakov, feeling his stomach churn as he saw the blood about his head he gingerly reached down and picked up the head of  the sputtering and crying president. He felt about for a wound, his fingers brushing across skin made slick with fresh blood. Eventually he wandered towards his ear where he felt where a bullet and cut through and across the rest of his skull. Looking up to see what sort of bullet hit him on the far-wall, he realized that task would be easier said than done as no wall remained that had been left untouched by the firing from through the window behind him.<br/><br/>“We ask again, return the pig!” a man shouted over the speakers.<br/><br/>Vasiliy looked back at Ullanhu with a defiant look. “Old farmer's shotgun is on table, get it!” he said with a dry urgent voice.<br/><br/>“Belyakov's fine by the way.” Ullanhu said back to him as he got up and went to the kitchen. From there he picked up the gun they had looted from the executed farmer's room and went back to the living room. From his coat pocket Vasiliy produced his handgun and kissed it. Ullanhu looked at him worried.<br/><br/>“You got enough?” he asked. He knew he had become low on bullets, if he even had any left.<br/><br/>“I'll have to try.” he said, “But we can't give Belyakov up. Move him over here by the wall, get him into cover”. he demanded.<br/><br/>Ullanhu obliged, throwing himself down across the ground and pulling the president over to the wall by the leg of the chair and moving him over into a corner let Vasiliy handle the negotiations.<br/><br/>“We're not about to give him up!” Vasiliy shouted back through the window.<br/><br/>“You're making a bad choice, my child!” the voice called back, “You do not want to be struck down for this. Let us have the bastard swine and you shall go free!”<br/><br/>“We're not about to, you'll have to come and get him!” Vasiliy called back, and Ullanhu groaned as he set the wounded president up in the corner. He couldn't do much for him, but let him tough it out. The wound wasn't fatal, nor was going to be. But it was going to be messy before it got better; that much he was sure. Awaken and in shock, the president looked with widened eyes at the scene unfolding from his new corner.<br/><br/>There was a long silence from outside. “Very well.” their attacker said, “We will just have to. Make it slow and sweet!”<br/><br/>Ullanhu and Jun both paused looking into the illuminated night. The sound of the speakers crackling to an end did not come. Instead simply, <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDMmj5WgB8c"" rel=""nofollow noopener"" target=""_blank"">a child came to sing.</a><br/><br/>The two exchanged glances as the child singer sang slow and long his song, but they didn't have long to ponder nor to listen before the fire resumed.<br/><br/>Cracking in the night rifles and automatic weapons lit up in bursts and volleys that forced the two men to cower away from the window. It was all loud, but the sound of the speakers were just loud enough to be audible over all the chaos. The two recoiled back and cowered and somewhere from the other-side of the cabin the door was kicked in. The loud thundering of a bear of boots banged through the building and a man in an old woman's dress rounded the corner from the hall-way with a Polish-made sub-machine gun cradled in his arms. He made to raise the weapon before the report from Vasiliy's pistol put a bullet in his brow, underneath the frilly headscarf he wore.<br/><br/>“What the fuck!?” Ullanhu shouted stunned as the man fell with a gaping hole sputtering blood from his forehead. The SMG gave a sputtering line of fire that raked across their wall but hit nothing as he reflexively pulled the trigger and fell to the ground. Following him a small follow-up team ran in, all dressed in the clothes of Russian grandmothers.<br/><br/>Ullanhu dropped the first to arrive after with a report from his shotgun and he fell back with a chest glowing red from buckshot at close range. The second slipped and stumbled as he entered through the narrow hallway, his headscarf was pulled down to mask his face. But a shot from Vasiliy's pistol cut into his stomach and staggered the man, he fired again and a second burst through his lung and he collapsed gasping for air. Moments later a round fired to suppress the two smacked into the side of his head carving away half his face.<br/><br/>“Wh-wha-” Ullanhu began, stunned for words as he pushed himself against the wall, holding the old shotgun to his chest as he shivered. He felt clammy and sick, as much as he was confused.<br/><br/>“Just don't think about it.” Vasiliy said. Guns were still being fired, and the singing hadn't stopped. It warbled long on the air, hanging over each word song allowing Ullanhu to focus in on the words as they were sung. The maddening chaos outside obviously underscoring the threat just outside the cabin. It as drawing closer by the moment, each report from the Russian guns to pin them down drawing louder by the moment they waited.<br/><br/>“Why the dresses though!?” Ullanhu stuttered.<br/><br/>“They're the Babushkas, don't ask why.” Alexander Belyakov spoke up from his corner, grunting through the searing pain no doubt burning the side of his head.<br/><br/>They didn't make any sense to Ullanhu who turned and looked at the injured president with a mixture of shock and questioning. “You just hold them off until that kid stops singing and they'll leave.” Belyakov shouted.<br/><br/>At that moment a large rock was thrown through the kitchen window and a man came into view, dressed as the grandmotherly image their named associated them with. Before he could begin to clear the glass with his gun Ullanhu raised his gun to his shoulder and fired. He caught the buckshot to the front and was thrown back into the night.<br/><br/>Immediately after him another figure appeared in the window to finish the job. As he rose himself through Ullanhu rose the shotgun to fire again, but it click on an empty chamber. His heart immediately sank at the thought. Vasiliy looked over and realized what was going on. Both men dove out of the way as the invader began to open fire with an assault rifle. The sound of his heavy gun clanging in the house echoed to the outside and the suppressing fire from outside came to a lull.<br/><br/>The weapons fire chewed large holes in the already weakened walls above where Ullanhu stood and went as far as to sink into the far outer wall above where the President lay. He flinched and recoiled against the stinging of the shrapnel kicked out from the entering bullets. His feet fell heavy as he ran through the kitchen and the first thing of his that Ullanhu saw was the long flowered dress he wore. He turned away from him and found Vasiliy but before he could fire Ullanhu reached to his legs, pulling them out from underneath him.<br/><br/>Unprepared for the fall he came down like a heavy tree. “<span class=""bb-i"">Pizdec!</span>” he swore loudly before he hit the ground with a heavy thud. Rising to his feet Ullanhu hoisted the shotgun up over his head like a club, and the stock of the weapon came down as the gangster turned to face him. Wood met bone with a sound smack that caved in his nose and smacked his head against the floor underneath him. His nose was quick to gush with blood as his eyes rolled back into his head.<br/><br/>“Pick up their guns.” Vasiliy shouted reaching into the bloodied pile of bodies that lay in the pile there between the living room and the kitchen for some sort of firearm. Ullanhu reached out for the assault rifle that the man he had just beaten with the shotgun stock had carried in. For good measure he lay his knee across his neck as he bent over and examined the weapon. Suppression fire from the Russian mobsters outside resumed.<br/><br/>It was a large gun, with a heavy dark walnut stock. Its barrel and acting components were all made out of some dark gun metal and a long dark-green rail ridged the top of the barrel like an exposed spine, no doubt giving ample points to fix an accessory like a scope. Hanging under the gun just in front of the trigger component the user had equipped a monstrous, bulbous magazine and that swung out in both sides like a side-ways number eight.<br/><br/>It had to be good enough, he figured as he checked the various switches and details trying to figure out how to make the weapon work. He hadn't practiced with anything but the pistol issued to him and that was... somewhere. He didn't remember where it was now.<br/><br/>With his new weapon and relieving more than a few bags of extra rounds from underneath the men's dresses Vasiliy returned to the window and began returning fire. Ullanhu joined him, shooting out the lights that illuminated the battlefield for their enemy.<br/><br/>The rifle kicked heavily against his shoulder at each pull of the trigger, the delicate nature of each pull fired not a single shot but a full burst that ejected a storm of smoking brass shells from the side of the weapon. But each firing of a burst round found their marks and steadily the lights were shot out one by one, slipping their hiding place began into cover.<br/><br/>But their return fire alerted the rest of the Russians who focused on their window. Both ducked aside as bullets cracked the air alongside them and split the already chewed out frame of the window. The two split up and moved to different positions.<br/><br/>Ullanhu's shoes crunched against glass as he crouched behind a small side window where there glass had already been shot out in the chaos. Atop a nearby hill he saw the muzzle flash of a shooter and took aim and fired at him. He couldn't tell if he was successful, but for the moment the position was silenced and attention turned to him.<br/><br/>It last for all of a moment, and the shooting slowed in its intensity. The bullets stopped firing on the house, and the reports between gunshots grew longer. Every so often something would be fired and a piece of unbroken wood snapped, or piece of glass shattered. A silence fell upon the cabin leaving a frightened silence lingering in the country-side and the heavy smell of lingering gun smoke and spent cordite.<br/><br/>As the three men sat, waiting for something to happen they noticed somewhere: the child was no longer singing. Ullanhu braved a look outside and found it was all silent. He turned back to see Vasiliy rummaging through the corpses of the men left behind.<br/><br/>“Did we win?” he asked, adrenaline was still coursing through his veins like fire and he beheld the world in a crisper detail than he ever had. He was aware of everything from the rustling of the trees outside to the heavy pained breathing of Belyakov in the corner.<br/><br/>“For now.” Belyakov remarked. Vasiliy didn't look up to answer but kept at pulling from the packs the men wore under their dresses the various pieces of ammunition or supplies they may need.<br/><br/>Ullanhu shot a puzzled and worried look outside, he expected firing to resume, but it didn't for whatever reason. Had they really left? “If you two have any intention of leaving, I urge you two to do so soon.” Belyakov pleaded, “They may just leave us alone tonight, but by tomorrow night they will be back.”<br/><br/>“That was plan.” Vasiliy mumbled low, standing up.<br/><br/>“Who were these people?” Ullanhu asked again.<br/><br/>“The Babushkas.” Belyakov again answered, “They're some group of madmen who think it's funny to dress up in their grandmother's clothes and attack people.”<br/><br/>“They're mostly active in the north-west.” Vasiliy added, “But with what inteligence I have it suggests they're seeking to spread further. Rumor has it they serve one of Bog's lieutenant's, Raphael directly.”<br/><br/>“What name is that?” Ullanhu asked.<br/><br/>No one answered him.<br/><br/>As the adrenaline rush from battle ebbed and faded away, the men turned to find some position to sleep. Alexander Belyakov was sat back up in his seat and his face again cleaned so they could check his wounds. It was bruised from the fall, but in all the blood that had come from his injuries had thickened and coagulated into a sticky mass around his ear. The bullet had cut clean through, neatly removing a chunk from the middle portion and cutting it in two before it had skirted across his lumpy lower temple leaving a shallow cut and a wide burn from the bullet's passage.<br/><br/>They couldn't do much to move the bodies, say loot them. Ullanhu found a few more of the bulbous magazines on the still body of the man who had carried the weapon in. He relieved their owner of them and packed them into a sack he tore from the cloth of the dresses the men wore. Underneath these gangsters wore the same clothes as would be usually expected from Russian men.<br/><br/>Sleep didn't come easy to them. Ullanhu found it uneasy to sleep in the same space as dead bodies and Vasiliy was too worried about a potential second assault. Belyakov dozed in and out of conciousness throughout the night. Come morning they all had roughly several hours of sleep, and when the sun just peaked over the horizon they gave up the effort and packed to leave. Belyakov was untied from the chair that had held him prisoner for the last couple of days and lead to the farm truck Vasiliy had founded and managed to get running. Throwing in their loot, the two agents took their seats and the engine stuttered to life with harsh heaving coughs.<br/><br/>The sky was just beginning to turn from pink to soft blue before they were back on the road looking for the way east again.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Yekaterinburg</div><br/><br/>The morning sun rose low in the sky as it made its way to mid-afternoon. Overlooking the highway leading into Yekaterinburg from the east, the position that Huei Wen had made his camp was just waking up. The commander in Russia himself was already well awake and outside his quarters was seated with the rest of his staff around a fire that had been converted to an impromptu grill. Standing at said make-shift grill, a young sergeant who fancied himself a cook took over a position of making a breakfast for the commanding staff as they went over each of their office's portfolio's for the day.<br/><br/>At Wen's side the army's commander of security, the commanding officer of the entire military police throughout the Russian theater sat with an unfolded brief on his lap. It wasn't thick with detail and was simply only a couple odd pages that he thumbed through. Comprised of hand-written statements and typed reports, it went over some the latest things that had happened.<br/><br/>“We had an incident that was resolved at the Smartash forward operations point.” the MP commander read from behind small glasses. He was a small man from close to the border with Korea, could have been part Korean himself. His face was handsome enough with sharp brown eyes crowned with low-laying thin eyebrows. He thumbed at his round nose as he reported the details, “The unit had been infiltrated by a Republican agent, who posing as a Siberian officer managed to get within the base's command structure. Late the night before last he had attempted to make off with documents pertaining to the base's operations and staff registry and mission plan but he was injured and pursued by two non-commissioned personnel who chased him into the mining tunnels underneath the city and shot him dead.”<br/><br/>“The documents he stole?” Huei Wen asked, unscrewing the cap of a flask. Inside was lukewarm tea, he took a swig of the drink and leaned over to better read the reports.<br/><br/>“Recovered, but water damage. The final fire-fight had occurred in a flooded chamber in the deeper reaches. They'll probably have to re-write the entire registry and re-evaluate their plans, they don't know how much was leaked to the Republic. However the base commander has sent requests up  to award both men involved with commendations for their actions.”<br/><br/>“I suppose both performed well in the field,” Huei Wen agreed, “I'll put in recommendations to have metals of valor pressed for them. Their names?”<br/><br/>“Li Tsung and Wi Hui.” the security commander said.<br/><br/>“Very well, thank you. I'll inform Beijing this afternoon. Anything else?”<br/><br/>“Yes, last night a pair of Russians surrendered to the security forces on the north-side of the capital. They don't claim to be members of the Republic and claim to server a man by the name of Makulov.”<br/><br/>“Makulov?” Wen repeated, struck with shocked awe, “I thought he was unreachable.” or rather, the IB attempts to reach him had failed to make any progress in negotiating his loyalty. Really by this point the commander had hoped to attract the general's devotion before they had even gotten to this point.<br/><br/>“Apparently.” the officer nodded, “They're being held as prisoners awaiting orders to move or release them. If you have time or interest you were asked to go and speak with them, they do claim they're messengers on their superior's behalf here to get your attention.”<br/><br/>Wen nodded and looked over. On the far-side of the congregation of staff officers An Angua spoke with another, their equipment officer. No doubt trying to organize for appropriations to tighten the grip on the city. Angua was anticipating an assault, Wen had kept him out of the loop and told him to keep up skirmishes and organized with him to keep Russian supplies out of the city.<br/><br/>“I'll see them.” Wen said.<br/><br/>The security officer made an approving nod, “I'll call ahead, when do you expect to set up an interview?”<br/><br/>“Now.” Wen answered. He considered this important and wanted to move on it soon to make up for lost effort. Standing up he turned over to his right-hand commander, “Comrade Angua,” he shouted out in a booming voice, “Get my car ready.”<br/><br/>“Again?” the officer responding rising to his feet. He pushed his glasses unconsciously up his nose and looked about, “We just arrived yesterday.”<br/><br/>“Just do it.” Wen ordered.</div>"

As the battle raged into its third day, the attackers had chosen to focus their guns on the front in East Istanbul's industrial neighborhoods instead of strategic locations west of the canal. Craters made the tarmac look like the surface of the moon, smoke from fuel fires drifted through onto the sea. Bullet holes and shrapnel had torn through the sides of metal warehouses and hangars, as well as the concrete terminals. Several walls had new doors punched right through them by rockets. Engineers had gotten to work fortifying positions with trucks full of construction equipment: the grand windows of Suleiman International Airport had been boarded up and sandbagged down. Rubble and litter cluttered the floor, blown in by the winds and explosions while mud and soot had been tracked through by soldiers. The elaborate chandeliers that once hung opulently above the main lobby had been brought down by the thunderous shaking of artillery strikes. Their crystals had mysteriously disappeared into the cargo pockets of Armenian troops, much like the expensive wristwatches or the fancy shoes at the airport luxury outlets.<br/><br/>George Yaglian had been pulled from suppression duty, with most of the Turkish snipers vacating their posts the night prior. Now, only occasional pot shots were fired at the dug-in Armenians, and there hadn't been a casualty in a few hours. The Corporal was now a glorified signpost, sitting in an old camping stool in the lobby next to a portable table and a filing cabinet. Troops, freshly arrived from the Greek side of the Bosporus, were filed through the airport before heading the support the East Istanbul fighting positions. Yaglian was to simply check off the platoons that came through and tell them their assignment based on the recommendations of the military intelligence detachment set up in what used to be the airport hotel bar. Every so often, a bespectacled soldier no older than nineteen would deliver a written down list of critically undermanned positions in rough order of precedence. This, coupled with a road map, would mean Yaglian would give directions to the platoon leader and tell him where his men were needed before sending them off.<br/><br/>A queue had developed by midday, with Yaglian trying to process the glut of new arrivals as fast as he could. Pano had been enlisted as a second impromptu clerk who, with his limited Armenian vocabulary, was desperately pantomiming directions to new platoons. Thousands of troops had to be going towards the front in an attempt to stave off the Turks from reclaiming their former capital. From what he could gather from the intelligence detachment courier, it was a bloodbath. In traditional fashion, they had fought to a stalemate. The Istanbul local irregulars were rapidly falling, requiring reinforcement from Armenian and Greek units. A breakthrough near the canal's bridges was feared in the coming hours: explosives had been wired to blow and stem the Turkish onslaught if they ever reached the fighting positions. The primary mission was to hold the line, but it was absolutely critical that West Istanbul was held and the Bosporus was at the very least contested.<br/><br/>""Listen, you're needed at the Sumahat Hotel on the waterside drive north of the bridge. Just take a left at the MP traffic stop on the east bank and head right to the line. It's flag seven on the map, write it down,"" Yaglian stated duly. He pointed at the colored red marker placed at the hotel's rough position on the map, before shooing them towards the front door and marking down that platoon's number on the roster. He turned his head up to see two figures in lizardstripe battledress, wearing sunglasses and soft covers instead of helmets. Their uniforms, devoid of patches, had no nametapes on them. Simple orange armbands went around their left upper arms.<br/><br/>""Who the hell are you?"" Yaglian asked hurriedly. ""If you need to see the commander, he's up top.""<br/><br/>""Yeah, you'll do,"" one of them said. He gestured to Pano at the table next to Yaglian and waved him over: ""Find about twenty other guys, we're taking your engineers' trucks parked out back.""<br/><br/>""Wait, what? I'm a fucking Corporal, I don't have that authority,"" Yaglian protested to the man, who simply smiled.<br/><br/>""We do. We're National Security Service field agents and you've been tasked for a mission,"" he said bluntly. From his pocket he produced a document with the NSS seal and a signature from a government official. ""This actually goes to your commander.""<br/><br/>He handed it to his partner, who went off to find the battalion commander. ""My name is Genghis,"" continued the first NSS agent: a darker man, tall and imposing with a permanent five o'clock shadow and curly black hair. ""The one who just went to find your commander is my second in command, Apollo.""<br/><br/>Genghis leaned down onto the table and told Yaglian to grab his gear and eat before they headed out. Someone else was called over to replace the two at the tables while Genghis spoke into his backpack radio. A few minutes later, Apollo returned with a gaggle mixed with MI detachments and MPs pulled from random positions. The battalion commander was in tow, holding the piece of paper while protesting that he needed the men at their positions.<br/><br/>""You guys can all drive a truck, right?"" Apollo asked, almost casually. He had the lackadaisical air of a university student on vacation in Sevan, as if he enjoyed fast boat races under the influence of vodka on the lake. His posture was slacked and his hair - shaved on the sides but long on top - had been slicked back. One hand rested on his rifle receiver and the other firmly went in his pocket, while his sunglasses were gold-rimmed aviator-types popular with American film stars or African musicians.<br/><br/>A quarter of them shook their heads and were sent off to find someone who could. When the new drivers arrived, confused and packing their kitbags, Genghis motioned for them to form a horseshoe in the lobby. He removed his sunglasses, revealing dark brown eyes, and tucked them into his collar.<br/><br/>""I am Genghis, of the National Security Service,"" he announced. ""And the man who got you is Apollo. You have been recruited for a special mission, shouldn't take too long at all. Before you know it, we're going to drop you back here at your units and be off. We have eleven trucks we're driving to the former Ottoman treasury on the front in East Istanbul, and an eleventh with breaching gear. Once we get there, we'll tell you the rest of the story. Ready? Let's go.""<br/><br/>Yaglian, standing to the side of the formation, was taken aback by the curt briefing. For someone used to lengthy and thorough operation orders, the secrecy was unnerving. What was the NSS doing in Istanbul? What was the treasury doing as a target? Why were they going to the front? They were hardly infantry units, just a bunch of spooks and cops who were securing an airport. The NSS agents seemed far too out of their league, sporting cut down and customized battle rifles using new red dot sights and shortened shotguns mounted to the bayonet lug. At the door, Apollo dropped an olive green aviator's bag and unzipped it, revealing strips of orange fabric. ""Put these around your left arm,"" he instructed.<br/><br/>They liberated the engineer trucks, hurriedly tossing gear and crates out into the parking lot. They were told these would be returned later, after the mission was complete. A two man team manned each vehicle, Yaglian and Pano filing in behind the NSS's lead truck decked, once again, with an orange cloth draped over the front. The convoy got onto the road, following the lead of Genghis and Apollo: they drove quickly through the rubble-strewn streets of Istanbul, right past destroyed buildings and knocked-out cars. As they passed onto the main city round, driving onto a roundabout, Pano shouted: ""Look!""<br/><br/>A Turkish fighter-bomber had crashed into the thirty-story-tall Sultanate National Bank building, setting it ablaze about an hour earlier. Nobody was there to attend to the fire, emergency services long since preoccupied with other emergencies in other parts of town. The building belched acrid black smoke and its north facade had slid down onto the ground. In its courtyard, Greek soldiers helped Istanbul security forces drape civilian casualties in white bedsheets. Men, women, and children were all lined up in the park beside the highway as the Armenian convoy moved by. The killings were indiscriminate, effected by a shower of steel rain and high explosive force. People cared, of course, but it was the very nature of war that these civilians would die. Maybe they weren't evacuated in time, but that was not for Yaglian to debate. Shit happens, and he kept his mind off of it.<br/><br/>The financial district once controlled the wealth of the Ottoman Empire but now laid in ruins. Banks, regulatory agencies, and corporate headquarters alike had been shelled by Ottoman preparatory fires before the invasion. As yet another vice of the war, Armenian soldiers assigned to internal security looted the shops and stole from the wealthy apartments nearby. Yaglian couldn't blame them: after years of being kicked in the teeth by Ottoman hegemony, it was good to finally get revenge. Undoubtedly, the military legal system would ignore the looting despite it being on books as illegal: there would soon be hundreds of Armenian girlfriends getting gifts of fine jewelry from the farthest reaches of Istanbul's trade. The convoy drove past, caring not for their behavior. They put into high gear and sped out down the cleared highway, civilian vehicles having been cleared by armored elements days ago. An artillery strike on a nearby park being used as a hospital nearly blew a brick through Yaglian's cabin - it bounced off the truck's hood and left a sizeable dent - but they continued unabated.<br/><br/>The Bosporus Bridge was riddled with bulletholes and chunks blown away by explosions, but remained structurally intact. This was, in fact, one of two bridges that crossed the Bosporus Strait: the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge further north had already been blown by Armenian engineers when the Turks broke through the front lines and began to close in on the O-2 highway. Now, the First Bridge, as it was known, provided the only land route into West Istanbul. Air assault or airborne operations west of the Bosporus were prohibited by thick emplacements of antiaircraft artillery and roving patrols of local guardsmen. It was a race to the First Bridge that the Ottomans were in danger of losing. Yaglian and his truck crossed over, were directed forward by a military policeman waving a red flag, and continued into increasingly wartorn Istanbul. The treasury was only a few minutes east, located in a clearing surrounded by tall residential complexes separated by tight alleys. The Armenians drove their trucks over a former park and through a hole in the brick wall, before following Genghis's lead to the truck loading docks in the rear. The ten trucks idled for a moment before Apollo sprang out of the lead vehicle to direct them around and face the way they came for a speedy exit.<br/><br/>""Gather up! Gather up! Horseshoe formation around Genghis!"" Apollo yelled over the distressingly-close gunfire and explosions. Genghis stepped out of his truck and onto the ground, slinging his rifle over his back and withdrawing blueprints from his cargo pocket. A plane flew overhead, released its bombs, and took off upward over them. The drivers assembled around Genghis, first few ranks kneeling, all unsure of what was going on. They were support personnel, not infantry.<br/><br/>""Alright, we're getting to the fun part,"" Genghis proclaimed with a sly grin, combing through his dark beard. ""Has anyone here ever robbed a bank before?""</div>"

Even here and now, when he felt like a wounded animal fleeing through a forest he did not know, it still took him no effort to attract women. It didn't come as a surprise when he was called to Radmila's hotel room that night to discuss the curriculum of their student the Tsarina. And when he went to her room and found her standing naked in front of a mirror, performing as if he had walked in on her changing, the situation seemed completely natural to him. She feigned to hide her self with her arms, but she was no actress. A nipple slipped from below her pale arm, while below the blackness of her wild bush snuck between her partially splayed fingers. He knew what was going on, and when he shut the door the ruse melted away. She wasn't necessarily his type; pale and smooth as milk except for a vaguely tanned and aging face; and breasts that, if they had once been like ripe plums, were now beginning to prune. She was older than him by half a decade. But she was a nice enough woman, and it was better than sleeping alone. <br/><br/>She undressed him and led him into the bed, and they became a tangled knot of ebony on ivory fucking. She didn't feel as fragile as Aaliyah had. There was more wiry muscle in this woman than it looked. When he closed his eyes he imagined the woman Aaliyah had shot in Sevan, Vladmira with the blonde hair and perfect ass. Sahle lost himself in her; both the girl he was with and the girls he compared her to.<br/><br/>When he woke up he realized he didn't remember which one of them had went to sleep first. It nagged at him that maybe, just maybe, this was a sign of old age. Over the hill at thirty three. After laying twisted in the sheets for a while he rationalized and decided memory lapse was caused by a lack of any decent high except for the cheap alcohol that was so easy to procure in Russia. <br/><br/>""Do you realize you are closer to royalty than any person alive?"" he said when he saw her eyes open. He felt clever in saying it, and more like his old self than he had in a while. She didn't say anything, but her eyes were affixed on him as if he were impossibly heroic, and that made him feel like at least the shadow of a hero. Certainly not old anymore.<br/><br/>""I had a dream"" Radmila took in a deep, hearty breath and stretched her bare limbs. ""There was a giantess on the hills outside of Volgograd. I think she was here to help us.""<br/><br/>Sahle smiled. ""I suppose we won't have a room like this again for a long time."" he said.<br/><br/>""No."" she said in a soft, feminine way. ""We will be going away soon. If all goes well we may have a room in Moscow. Maybe even Saint Petersburg.""<br/><br/>""So tonight is it."" he sighed. She said nothing, but she didn't need to. Tonight Regina's identity would be revealed to Volgograd and the world as the Tsarina of Russia, and Sahle would find his new benefactors become a council of war. <br/><br/>They lay quiet for a short while until two harsh knocks at the door stirred them.<br/><br/>""Radmila."" a hard voice came from the other side. ""You are needed. Regina needs to meet with you.""<br/><br/>""I'll be there."" she answered. She crawled out of bed and walked across the room to get dressed. Sahle watched her ass and, while it was a flat ass, it was still something to watch.<br/><br/>""The Queen is going to need you too in a few hours, your majesty."" Radmila spoke to Sahle in a hushed voice. She said 'your majesty' with no particular deference, as if it were his name.<br/><br/>""I don't know what to say to her."" Sahle replied. The subject reminded him how deflated he had felt the night before, and all the predicaments of Russia reentered his mind at once. ""If I knew how to teach ruling a country, I wouldn't be here. And what is there to teach? Don't fuck up. That is the main rule."" <br/><br/>""That's the rule to most things, except being a clown."" she replied, smiling. Her tongue pressed against the gap in her front teeth. The gap was a feature he was always quick to notice though he had known her a couple of weeks already. ""You need to teach her how not to... fuck up, as you said.""<br/><br/>""Somebody should tell <span class=""bb-i"">me</span>."" he mumbled.<br/><br/>""Try, your majesty."" she said. ""See what happens. You might be a better teacher than you think.""<br/><br/>He saw she was mostly dressed by now in her military fatigues and he made a curious face at her. ""Aren't you going to take a bath..."" his head flicked down at the place in the bed she had just left.<br/><br/>""Oh."" she smiled. ""No, I didn't think about it. That's a luxury in these days, not really a rule anymore."" <br/><br/>He nodded. ""Well, I think you smell good anyway."" She smiled sweetly and left him alone. <br/><br/>Sahle laid quiet for a while and did nothing but look at the room around him. It was like so much of Volgograd - decayed, not ruined, but decayed. The wallpaper pealed and the furnishing was skimpy. There was a stubby bookshelf in one corner with only three books - <span class=""bb-i"">The Collected Poetry of Alexander Pushkin</span>, <span class=""bb-i"">History of the Four Tsarinas</span> by Anastasia Nikolaevna, and a third which he could not make out the title. Aside from that, the bed, the mirror, an flat Orthodox Icon of a woman in red holding a cross with the name 'Tatiana' printed next to her, and an open trunk full of Radmila's things, there wasn't anything else to note. Listed out it sounded like plenty of furnishing, but his eyes told him this room was a spartan one. <br/><br/>When he felt he had lain around long enough, he got up and got dressed. In the hall he could hear the Russian soldiers milling in the lobby. At the bottom of the stairs, he found where somebody had left a piece of bread and a half-drank bottle of Kvass on a window sill. He shrugged and picked them up. First he tried the bread. It was stale. He dipped it in the Kvass, drank the heady drink with its bread and honey flavor, finished both, and continued on his way. <br/><br/>It was early enough in the morning that there was still a slight chill in the air. It smelled like diesel fumes and morning dew. The street had the lovely look of societal collapse. Dour citizens and Cossacks mingled in the middle of the road, and the roar of generators and diesel engines could be heard. It was early, but the people all seemed to be drinking. Where did all this liquor come from? There were no half-empty bottles left alone that he could see to snatch, and he had no money to buy his own, so all he could do was his job. He knew where he needed to go; there was no putting it off. He went to visit the Tsarina and pretend to be some sort of teacher for her. Or was he an advisor? He swashed that question around in his brain, trying to keep his mind distracted.<br/><br/>He found the Tsarina with Sorokin and Radmila in their apartments in the Duma building. It was a quaintly Russian place - tobacco smoke stains yellowing what used to be white walls, an outdated map of Russia (he could tell because it showed a united Russia), tables and desks pushed to the side adorned with half-drank bottles of Vodka, and a cigarette burned pull-out sofa doubling as a bed. Radmila was cooking pancakes on a hotplate in the part of the room where the liquor was the most frequent. Sorokin sat with Regina and was casually chatting with her. Even in this charming domestic scene everyone was wearing military uniform, and there was a rifle leaning against the wall.<br/><br/>""Sahle Yohannes!"" Sorokin blurted. He seemed unusually friendly. He also didn't seem as distressed and sweaty today as he usually did. <br/><br/>""Sahle."" he corrected. ""Well, I guess you can call me that. But Emperors don't usually adopt their father's name.""<br/><br/>""I am sorry."" Sorokin said sincerely. ""I make no effort to offend. They use this form when talking about your brother.""<br/><br/>""Pancakes?"" Radmila offered. She acted like they hadn't spent the night testing out each others genitals. <br/><br/>""No thanks, I already ate."" He said slyly, and then he turned to Sorokin. ""He invented that. Some Communist shit. I don't think he uses it anymore though...""<br/><br/>""That's what they use in newspapers."" Sorokin replied.<br/><br/>""I think they get it wrong."" Sahle found a seat on the edge of a table. There was a bed roll laying beneath his feet. The other three started on their pancakes. He noticed the weather worn looking horse-doll he had seen in Astrakhan laying on the ground nearby and shuddered at old memories.<br/><br/>""So, what do you think about me?"" The nine year old Tsarina blurted. ""It must be so weird knowing we are both a King and a Queen.""<br/><br/>When he saw her now, he felt bad for her. How hard must it be, a child, an Empress, on the run from her title? And she had dealt with it so long too. She didn't seem phased by it at all. He smiled at the simple question. ""Lucky. I can trust my own kind.""<br/><br/>""I will be fair."" she play-acted a regal voice. <br/><br/>Sahle grinned. ""I thank you, your highness.""<br/><br/>""Well."" Sorokin grunted, standing up and handing an empty plate to Radmila. When he got nearby enough to Sahle, the pungent smell of booze filled the latter's nose. ""I need to meet with the Hetmans. We have tonight to plan. Gleb has us telling some of the men in advance to make sure there is some noise at the announcement. Regina, listen to this man, Emperor Sahle. He has been in your shoes, he knows more about your future than any of us.""<br/><br/>""Yes papa."" she said.<br/><br/>""You will do well."" he looked back one more time, his face dropped into a pale anxious smile. <br/><br/>""Have you arranged for our part? Regina is going to need instruction."" Radmila collected Regina's plate as she talked.  <br/><br/>""I put Semen on it."" Sorokin answered. ""Her majesty should meet with him when she is ready."" He opened the door slowly, and when he left it was like he had to peal himself away. <br/><br/>There was an awkward silence. Sahle leaned forward. ""I've never been a teacher before."" he said, trying to hold back any nervousness in his voice. <br/><br/>""Tell me what Africa is like."" Regina bubbled confidently. ""Or, tell me what the part of Africa that is your Kingdom is like.""<br/><br/>Sahle cleared his throat. How to word something like that? ""Imagine... imagine thousands of miles of wilderness.""<br/><br/>""Siberia."" Regina said instantly.<br/><br/>""Siberia. Yes, like that. There are jungles and mountains and plains, and all across it are tribes of people who still live in villages and barely know your name. Sometimes they join the army or move to a city or something, but most of the time they stay to themselves in their villages.""<br/><br/>""Like Siberia."" Radmila parroted, amused. Regina giggled.<br/><br/>Sahle went on. ""There are places where there are cities and factories and mines though, and they know who you are there. They need your government in those places because important things need to be protected. So you have agents there, keeping things organized.""<br/><br/>""So what did <span class=""bb-i"">you</span> do?"" Regina asked.<br/><br/>What did he do? What <span class=""bb-i"">did</span> he do? He kept in power he supposed. Well, he didn't do that very well either. ""The Emperor of Ethiopia is a boss. He watches over the government and makes decisions.""<br/><br/>""So Ethiopia has a constitutional monarchy?"" Regina asked. <br/><br/>""It has a constitution now. My brother made that. When I was Emperor, it was a sort of... I don't know, we pretended to have that type of monarchy I guess.""<br/><br/>""My grandfather was an autocrat."" the little-girl Tsarina mused proudly ""That is how we do it in Russia. Tsars have tried to make reforms, but the people don't know how to take them. That is what Radmila says. Russians need autocracy, somebody to rule them strongly, or else Bolsheviks get their way.""<br/><br/>""Are you going to be an autocrat too then?"" he asked.<br/><br/>The Tsarina nodded. ""I am young though, so General Rykov will rule for me. He will be my Potemkin, except I won't sleep with him."" she giggled.<br/><br/>Regina talking about sleeping with people made Sahle uncomfortable, and he exchanged a glance with Radmila. She saw his discomfort and grinned.<br/><br/>""You must feel sad that Spain is invading your country."" Regina said sympathetically. <br/><br/>""Yes."" Sahle looked down. ""The same way you feel about China. It's hard being responsible for so many people."" Who had said that to him? His father? Baruti? Sahle never felt like he had been responsible. Yaqob was the responsible one. <br/><br/>""Papa Sorokin told me that too.""<br/><br/>""I think it is the most important thing."" Sahle said thoughtfully. ""You know, when I made a wrong decision, I didn't think 'Oh here I am going to make a wrong decision.' It just... you make a decision, and there are all of these repercussions. Some sort of chain reaction I guess. Your decision leads to some others things, and then those things cause other things to happen. It's echoes. What you decide will cause echoes throughout Russia, and you will not always be able to guess what these echoes will be, but you will have to live with them.""<br/><br/>""I wonder if that is what the good Kings and Queens do, guess the echoes."" Regina replied. Her voice was calm, and she sounded almost like a full grown adult. <br/><br/>""I don't know that."" Sahle replied. ""I really cannot say.""<br/><br/>""Do you recall the essays I had you read, your majesty?"" Radmila entered into the conversation. ""About the abolition of serfdom and the beginning of Bolshevism? Think of that as what Emperor Sahle means.""<br/><br/>""I understand. I mean, I believe I understand..."" she said.<br/><br/>Radmila went into a lecture on Russian history, but Sahle didn't hear any of it. Their conversation left him mentally exhausted, and he sunk thinking on his perch. Where had he went wrong exactly, when he had sat on the throne? There had been a time when he blamed the failures of his government on Hassan and his brother. After he got over that phase, he had assumed his values were in the wrong place, and he had made his decisions entirely based on pleasure. Perhaps it was that simple, but perhaps it wasn't? The simple act of pouring out buried ideas to this child had awoken deeply held thoughts imprisoned in the general anxiety that period of his life inspired in him now. And could he even say Yaqob had done that much better? His was a reign also known for its rebellion, and for the destructive war going on in Africa. How much of that could be blamed on him, and how much of Sahle's reign could be blamed on Sahle? There were webs here, difficult connections formed in the dark, and even trying to think of it made Sahle feel woozy and well beyond his skill level. <br/><br/>The lessons ended. Radmila and Regina said their farewells and went to find Semen. They left to prepare for Regina's part in her own announcement. That left Sahle, who had no reason to loiter in Sorokin's apartment, so he grabbed one of the leftover bottles of vodka, took a swig, and pocketed the bottle. He went away to loiter somewhere else.<br/><br/>Where was Vasily, he wondered. Where was Uliana? He didn't know where they stayed. Perhaps she was on the other side of the wide Volga, in the trembling forest they had shared for a night. There was no use trying to find her there; he didn't know where to get a boat, and the thought of going too far scared him. There was nothing for him in this broken town. Nothing but drunk soldiers and civilians trying their best to ignore the drunk soldiers. He didn't want to go too far and get lost. Instead he went to Radmila's room again, finding the door unlocked just as he had left it. He climbed into the bed and just laid there as if he could transport himself back to the night before. When he was bored of that, he got up and plucked the book of poetry from her barren shelf and flipped open to a random page. <br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><span class=""bb-i"">""Be calm, o, Russia's banner's holder,<br/>Look at the stranger's quickly coming end,<br/>On their proud necks and void of labor shoulders,<br/>The Lord's vindictive arm is laid.<br/>Behold: they promptly run, without look at road,<br/>In Russian snows their blood like river's flood,<br/>They run in dark of night, felled by famine and cold,<br/>And swords of Russians, from behind.""</span></div></div></div><br/><br/>That was enough for the day. He took another swig of Vodka and put the bottle on the ground beneath him. The words echoed in his mind, but he was not comfortable enough with the language to completely understand it, and he was never much into poetry to begin with. He went back to bed and this time he nodded to sleep.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Sahle was awoken by Radmila. ""It's nearly time, your majesty."" she said in a hurried whisper. His eyes were blurred with sleep so that she looked like a ghost at the foot of the bed. ""They are meeting in front of the Duma building."" He woke up, dressed clumsily in the dark, and followed her.<br/><br/>The halls of the hotel were quiet now. It was dark inside, and the only things he could see was the moonlight through the windows and the flickering shadow of an unseen fire outside. They stumbled slow and awkward down the stairs, groping for what they could remember of the railing and the walls. Sahle spilled after Radmila out of the shadowy hotel and into the streets, where soldiers were strolling drunkenly toward the Duma building. Some held torches, others bottles. There was an absent chatter coming from the crowd, the sort you might here from any crowd, but the city and the night surrounding them was quiet enough to make the people and their torches the only sources of sound. No diesel hum, no motors. They had turned the city off. All that was happening in Volgograd this night was the announcement of the Tsarina.<br/><br/>The Volgograd military looked something like an army themed costume party in a poverty stricken hell-world. There were men and women, most dressed in fatigues or baggy clothing that looked something like fatigues. They wore ushankas and other fur hats. Some wore pointed cloth hats like modern renditions of those worn by ancient nomads. Others had the sort of flat caps that could be seen on old white men all over Europe. The weather that night was nice, not cold like it had been in Sevan, so he saw none of the coats that might be associated with Russians. There was no order to their uniform, and there was no order in how they presented themselves in the square. Some stood, or slouched, or gathered in clusters with friends. On the fringes near the walls and fences, some men squatted on the pavement like so many pigeons. Not everyone was armed, but many were, and every man and woman looked hard enough to destroy Sahle in a heartbeat. But they had no interest in him, or doing anything to him. Their focus was on their leader.  <br/><br/>The Hetman Gleb Apostol stood between the two lions in front of the Duma. He wore a Russian dress uniform with a big fur cape thrust over his shoulders so that he looked like a furious eagle perched on the stairs. Young smooth-skinned Cossacks, a near equal mix of men and women, stood at attention on his flanks. He started speaking, and his voice carried strong across the entire scene so that Sahle had no trouble hearing him from the back of the milling horde.<br/><br/>""Look at this place. Look at what you carry. You carry torches, my friends, like cavemen! And the light flickers in craters that were your roads."" The burly Cossack said. Torches crackled. The crowd grumbled. A bottle broke somewhere, but nobody cared. The Hetman paused, looking around like he was seeing the city for the first time. He continued to speak alone, and he spoke so slow and careful that it took twice as long for him to say the words as it would for the average man to read them out loud.<br/><br/>""Your buildings, look at them! Look at this statued lion! It used to have a face, my friends, but the face has been gone for some time. This, this right here is Russia. I think this is Russia at its best now! We have our craters in peace here, and we can drink in them instead of rot in them. But is that it? Russian greatness, <span class=""bb-i"">Slavic</span> greatness, is that what this is? No, my friends. That cannot be true. Will we grow old here? Can you imagine yourselves in your sick beds, up there in one of those... rooms, we call them. Can you imagine yourself, dying, thinking about what you are leaving behind, and being happy with it? The Tsar died ten years ago. You all remember what it was like before. We were a strong people! Russia was the stone wall that stood between Communism and everything! This was the fortress, the castle. But now there are no castles. Have you seen the Pink Palace south of this city? Old mangy dogs piss in places where Tsars drank tea. Moscow is ruled by foreigners and Yids, and real Russians pick crumbs from under their windows and nibble them in the cold. Communists sleep in hammocks made from the dresses of Catherine the Great in Saint Petersburg. The Huns come over the Urals, and they look at those tiny scraps you have, and they plan to steal those from you too, so all that you will have is to be naked in the cold. The only thing protecting us from the Huns are those Yids in Moscow, with their <span class=""bb-i"">constitutions</span> and <span class=""bb-i"">committees</span>. Bah! They cannot even protect their own President! He was abducted in the capitol like a little child. That is who defends us? Defends Russia? If that is all I can hope for then shoot me in the brains right now so I can forget what happened to my beloved country.""<br/><br/>The crowd had shouted whenever the Hetman paused to breathe, or for effect. They were enraptured. It reminded Sahle of a stage show in Sevan. There were the chorus girls, replaced by the young men and women that flanked Apostol in solemn silence. Between the lions was the unseen imaginary stage light, and Apostol himself the trained actor. There were few differences between the soldiers and a drunken Sevan crowd at a show too.<br/><br/>""My country."" he started to talk, but paused briefly again as if in deep thought. ""But are we not still Russians? You are the same people who lived in the Tsar's Russia, are you not? Capable of the same things. More even, now you have lived through such hard times. We have tried Communists, and Constitutions, and Warlords, but none of them have reforged Russia. We are not a people made in a factory. You cannot stamp a piece of steel and call it Russia! We are made of the old Iron. We yearn for the old Iron! They knew, so they smashed what they could find. Remember Michael the First, Remember Peter the Great at Poltava! Catherine the Great! Alexander who conquered to Paris! Nicholas the Second who vanquished the anarchists! Peter the Fourth! Peter who they murdered. They shot him, they stabbed his daughter, they killed his elderly sister and they tossed her in a mine shaft. They destroyed all the old Iron they could find. But they failed.""<br/><br/>The Hetman looked down as if in prayer. The shouts had came to a crescendo until Peter died. After that, silence but for the torches. When Apostol started to speak again, he started with a feigned quiet like a whisper that could be heard by all the crowd. <br/><br/>""I was told a story years ago, and I tell that story to you now. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. A Doctor, and a good man, stood and watched a pale woman bleed to death on the carpet of her own hotel. The Royal blood of a Princess murdered by terrorists. The Princess was pregnant, she carried a child and died with it suffocating in her womb. That is how far they went to destroy the old iron. But the doctor and the good man, they saved the child. They went to show it to its grandfather, but the terrorists who killed the daughter killed Peter the Fourth, they shot him between the eyes and burned down his country! But the child lived. She saw the fire! She grew up in the smoke!""<br/><br/>By the end of his speech he was roaring out his words loud and fast. The crowd responded with their own roar, just as loud and just as fast, and Sahle didn't think they knew what they were cheering for. Not truly. These drunken men, the smell of vodka breath collected in the air around them, were ready for their blood to be up. Sahle watched the Hetman stare at them, satisfied. But where was Regina?<br/><br/>Tanks ambled into the square, moving especially slow so that the crowd may part. These were old machines, battered by war and makeshift repair, bearing the stumpy shapes of old Polish manufacturing. No art, no beauty. They had turrets like gnarled fists rising up from rivet-pocked armored cars. On the front of the first stood Regina. She balanced herself by holding on to the barrel like a monkey, and her feet rested on the plated armor as if she were preparing to sprint into battle. She wore no Imperial regalia, but instead wore the same fatigues he has saw her in earlier. The moonlight caught her, alabaster skin soaking the blue moon and harsh orange torchlight. She looked cold, and Sahle thought she might be trembling, but when she squealed out to address them in her child-like voice she sounded exactly like a ten year old girl having fun riding on the front of a tank.<br/><br/>""I am Regina Romanov, granddaughter of the Tsar."" Her voice barely carried and she had to force it. ""I am going to Moscow! I am going to Moscow! Who wants to follow?""<br/><br/>They heard her. An army shouted at her all at once, a manly thunder of one thousand voices or more. Random gunfire snapped into the air. Sahle wondered if he was the only one who knew he had just witnessed a show. They all seemed to accept it for what it was. He could feel it, the spirit of the thing, coming from all of these people. Pure hope. The knowledge of history and glory. He wondered if they even cared about Regina. Did they believe she was a Queen, or did they just want to drunkenly march to Moscow? But she stood there, a small girl soaking in the enraged adulation of thousands of surly Cossacks and militias. He didn't know if she was scared and dumbstruck, or if she was standing proud.<br/><br/>From where Sahle stood it looked like pride. <br/></div>"

Behind him were three Kempei (members of the Japanese military police), shouting for the rest of the people in the market to move aside. However, between the noise, confusion, and slight panic, barely anyone listened to the Kempei, and the man ran away gleefully, shouting a few insults to the officers.<br/><br/>""Shit, that's the third one to get away this week."" said a spectacled man in his thirty's. ""The Director isn't going to be happy.""<br/><br/>""Well, I'd like to see him make his way through a market to catch a wily one like that."" replied a younger man toting a small mustache. <br/><br/>""Can you just imagine that?"" said the third officer, as he began imitating an old man trying to chase down the thief. ""By the time the director turned around, that thief would probably already be at Mount Hagen!""<br/><br/>The three officers shared a laugh at the expense of their Director, tossing a few more jokes around before the oldest of the three finally mentioned them having to report the crime. With a unified sigh, the three made their way to the local Kempeitai headquarters, and shuffled inside.<br/><br/>""Katashi! Welcome back! How are things out there for you and your recruits?"" shouted a middle aged man sporting a goatee.<br/><br/>""Thanks, Hideki. But... We just lost another thief, in the market this time. I came back to report it to the Director."" replied the man in glasses, looking a bit defeated.<br/><br/>""The Director? Oh! That's right, you haven't heard...""  said Hideki, taking a nearby chair, and sitting down.<br/><br/>""Haven't heard what?"" inquired Katashi.<br/><br/>""Well... I don't know if this is right or not, but the rumor is that the Director is dead. He apparently lost his footing walking up a flight of stairs, fell backwards, and split his head. I tried asking for more info, but that's all Eiji got from the mainland before they cut the call.""<br/><br/>Katashi, who at this point had put his hand to his mouth in shock, reached over with his free hand, taking a chair for himself, and sitting down beside Hideki. After a brief pause, he removed his hand from his face, and waved it lightly in the air. <br/><br/>""You two... Go ahead and go back out. We have nobody to report to, so just act as if this incident never happened.""<br/><br/>The two younger men looked at each other, then Katashi, before walking out, giving a small nod to the older men as they walked out. Once they were gone, Katashi looked to Hideki, and leaned in, whispering.<br/><br/>""So... If the Director is really... You know... Who's in line to take his place?""<br/><br/>Hideki shrugged. ""Beats me. Probably some desk worker, or one of those lazy kids of his. You know, somebody that will help somebody's political agenda.""<br/><br/>Katashi nodded while removing his hat, and wiping his brow. ""Either way... I doubt anything will change for all of us who got stuck down here. After all, we're basically just here to babysit these Indonesians, and herd the rowdy ones back to their side of the island every once in a while. It's not like there's anything anybody can do down here noteworthy enough to get shipped home.""<br/><br/>""I hear that."" said Hideki with a laugh. ""What are we going to do to earn a medal, really? We can't even catch a simple thief most of the time!""<br/><br/>As the men sat laughing, they failed to notice the heavy thumping of the local commanders boots beside them, before it was too late.<br/><br/>""And why is it we can't catch those simple thieves, Hideki?"" barked the commander, as a visible chill ran up the two men's spines.<br/><br/>""Ah, well, sir..."" stuttered Hideki.<br/><br/>""I'll tell you why!"" replied the commander, now speaking loud enough to silence the whole building.  ""The reason we can't catch criminals anymore is because nobody really gives a shit anymore.""<br/><br/>The two men released a sigh of relief as they realized they weren't in trouble.<br/><br/>""After all, how the hell do they expect us to get our jobs done, when they've been sending away all of our supplies, and our men, to that new camp up North."" <br/><br/>""New camp?"" inquired Katashi. ""What new camp?""<br/><br/>""Well."" the commander said, clapping a hand on Katashi's shoulder. ""The new camp that I've been told to send you off to, Officer Minobe. They want you to pack only the essentials, and be back here at dawn. They didn't tell me anything else. Just that they need more experienced men. And since you actually were around for the Boroko riots, I thought you would be the best choice.""<br/><br/>""What about me, sir?"" asked Hideki. ""I was around for the riots, too. Surely I could also help, right?""<br/><br/>The commander shook his head, and pointed at Hideki's leg. ""They need able bodied men for this one, Sugita. I'm sorry, but with that injury you got last week, you're still in no shape to go. Maybe next time.""<br/><br/>Shifting his attention back to Katashi, the commander returned to his normal, authoritative demeanor. ""Officer Minobe! As ordered by Captain Miyamoto, you shall be relieved of service here, at the Papua-shi branch, and be relocated North, to aid in whatever way you can at the Mount Hagen camp. Are these orders clear?""<br/><br/>""Yes, sir!"" replied Katashi, rising to his feet. ""I will head home right away in order to gather my belongings.""<br/><br/>""Good."" replied the commander, easing into a smile. ""It has been a pleasure working with you, Officer Minobe.""<br/><br/>""You as well, sir.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b""> ""The Red Chamber"", Tokyo, Japan </span></span><br/><br/>""Well, now that we are all gathered, this meeting on the culturization efforts in Indonesia may begin."" said a small, mousey man wearing a Western suit, a title card marked ""Ota"" sitting in front of him. ""As you all know, for the last few years, we have been heavily investing on our culturization efforts across the Indonesian Islands. While some of the local communities have been accepting of this work, others... Well, let's just say that they are not going to cooperate, no matter our efforts. Because of this, Emperor Akihito has ordered the construction of a few ""peace"" camps scattered across the islands. The local Kempei forces are currently being drafted to these camps, in order to serve as offensive peacekeepers. Now, what this means is that they, using their judgement of what is best for the Japanese people who have been emigrating South, as well as for those who have accepted the Japanese way of life, will be hunting down the terrorists who dare to oppose Emperor Akihito's wishes. Upon detaining the criminals, the officers will return them to these peace camps, where medical and psychiatric professionals will then try to find the cause of their rebellious attitude, and attempt to cure whatever it is that drives them too such extremes.""<br/><br/>""Excuse me, for a moment."" interjected a man with a scraggly white beard. ""If you do not mind me asking, should the decision to rearrange the Kempei not wait until a new Director is found, to sign off on such a thing? I know for a fact that Director Konjo was strongly against the use of excessive force when dealing with the natives. To me, these ""peace"" camps sound the exact opposite of what he would have wished for! I highly doubt that he would agree to such a thing! He died of a fall, not of insanity!""<br/><br/>'I understand what you are saying, Mr. Watanabe, however, yesterday Director Konjo sat down with the Emperor himself to discuss this. As you can see..."" said Ota, as he pulled a document out of a folder. ""Director Konjo not only agreed, but endorsed this plan. You can check the document, if you like. I guarantee you, the seal on there is genuine. I don't know why he had this apparent change of heart, but clearly Director Konjo was far more supportive of our Emperor than you are.""<br/><br/>The old man bit his tongue, not allowing himself to come off any worse than that comment had made him look. After all, he knew well what happened when Akihito's regime was questioned, and he wasn't willing to risk everything for a snide comment directed at the Emperor's pet. <br/><br/>""I apologize, Mr Ota. I meant no harm, nor did I disagree with Emperor Akihito. I simply expressed my concerns, knowing my friend's views. Clearly, though, I did not know them as well as I thought. That is indeed his seal. I have no reason to oppose this motion.""<br/><br/>""I knew you would be reasonable once you saw that."" quipped Ota with a smile. ""Now, the rest of you are fully supportive of this, I assume?"" <br/><br/>The room filled with noise, as the business heads, military leaders, and respected families all agreed to pass the motion, supporting the peace camps. Ota collected the seals of each individual, going to Mr. Watanabe last, leaning in to whisper something to the old man, inaudible to the rest of the room.<br/><br/>""Thank you for your cooperation, Watanabe. However, if you ever speak out like that again, you have my word, you will see waht happens when you oppose the Emperor.""<br/><br/>Gulping down his pride, Watanabe apologized once more, and pressed the ink of his seal into the page, giving the proposal the full support of the cabinet. With no more reason to stay, the members slowly trickled out of the building, until only Watanabe was left. He leaned forward in his chair, letting out a sigh of frustration. <br/><br/>""I did not take this position to be bullied into submission. I took it to represent the people of Japan to Akihito, yet not once have we seen the Emperor in person. I wonder if these are even his wishes, or if that snake is acting on his own.""<br/><br/>Shaking with anger, Watanabe stood from his chair, and stepped out of the building, greeted by a heavy rain. With a sigh, he looked around for his umbrella, but it was nowhere to be seen. Resigning to his fate, he began to walk down the stairs, holding the wide collar of his shirt over the top of his head. As he got to the bottom of the stairs, a car pulled up in front of him, and the window rolled down.<br/><br/>""Isao Watanabe."" said the man inside the car. ""Please, get in. I want to have a few words, if you please.""<br/><br/>Watanabe looked around a bit, before reaching out, and opening the car door, getting inside the vehicle. <br/><br/>""Mr. Watanabe, it's an honor to meet a man as honorable as yourself. My name is Hayato Kenzou, a name you've surely heard in your line of work.""<br/><br/>""Hayato... Kenzou? You... I know that name. Then... You are part of that group?"" stuttered Watanabe, looking a bit panicked.<br/><br/>""Don't worry. It's not what you think, probably. I'm here because I want to work with you. I need a new ear in those cabinet meetings, seeing as my old correspondent has met a tragic end.""<br/><br/>""Old correspondent? tragic end? You mean to say that Director Konjo, the leader of the Kempeitai, was also working with YOU?"" asked Watanabe in disbelief.<br/><br/>""That is correct. Konjo knew something was rotten, and you, being his friend, surely do, as well. With Konjo dead, the new Director of the Kempeitai is surely going to be a thorn in my side, and I'm sure yours, as well. That is why we need to be allies. Without an ear on those meetings, I cannot know how to move safely. In exchange, I agree to spread the word of your revolution underground, through my associates.""<br/><br/>Watanabe momentarily remained quiet, but sat smiling. <br/><br/>""I see now why Konjo was working with you. So... I tell you where the Cabinet and Kempeitai are focusing their attention, and in exchange, you spread the word of the people's revolution to the people? Is that right?""<br/><br/>Hayato smiled at Watanabe, and extended a hand, which Watanabe shook firmly.<br/><br/>""I'm glad to see that the People's Revolution and Yakuza will continue to work hand in hand, Mr. Watanabe.""</div>"
22254,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2016-07-24 04:29:00,Dinh AaronMk,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;""><div class=""bb-h1"">Russia</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Volgagrad</div><br/>Jun stood in the early morning shadows cast by a nearby building as he stood at the edge of the gathering crowd of drunk, sleepy Cossacks. With Makulov's agent, Artyom the two had stood at the periphery of the conference, but never getting too deep. The long reach they were kept at puzzled the Chinese spy, but he felt as he stood just out of view and the light of the torches that milled into the square at the entrance of the old, battle worn Duma building that what had been discussed inside its halls in smoke-filled secrecy was coming to an important head, and that he may be the only agent of China to witness it.<br/><br/>Artyom himself was not far off, he sat in an old unfinished wood chair idly brushing his fingers through his mat of curly hair. In the dim light he had long abandoned his glasses. As the torch-light passed by his face the color of his eyes shone a bright brilliant blue. He was a boyish looking man, with the appearance broken solely by a coarse stubble of unshaven beard he had let show this morning. But like his Chinese counter-part, he was tense and deeply interested in the growing crowd.<br/><br/>“Do we know what's going on, exactly?” Jun asked passingly, breaking the silence between them and the characteristic commitment to not comment that he had held without flaw all mission.<br/><br/>“Rumor and gossip.” Artyom commented, “They say the royal line of the czars is still unbroken. That some royal savior is here in the city among us. I just heard of this last night, so something tells me it got spread around to get people here.” he openly thought, watching a small group of densely clustered women walk passed their hiding spot.<br/><br/>It wasn't really anything more than a covered porch really. Or however it might be described. The building had long lost its windows and doors and signs ran all throughout that over the years people had stripped it down of its most valuable wiring and plumbing. Artyom supposed someone took the copper piping to make a still for bootleg vodka, and the less important metals to make stills for methamphetamine. Graffiti signs had been painted thick over the old floral wall paper that was left with a thick brush, images of naked bird women and other fantastical and terrifying creatures. Over the front door on the inside, someone had wrote, “God watches all” over the empty door frame in pale-blue paint.<br/><br/>But for now, it was the post Artyom and Jun used to watch the milling crowds for signs of violence or disruption. But for the men's apparent sleepy of drunken dispositions they went about well tamed by Jun's standards. And for a post-Government Russia that was more than a surprise. “I'm not particularly surprised the Romanov house is still alive,” Makulov's agent in the city continued on, “There are still Romanov's out there, persons who had escaped or were already living abroad. But we thought they weren't ready to come back, they were all too busy fighting over who simply gets to lead the dynasty.”<br/><br/>Jun nodded apathetically, dynastic politics wasn't his forte and he honestly didn't care. Even for the survivors of the Aisin Gioro clan of Manchus that had produced all the Emperors of the last Chinese dynasty was little more than a note hanging on a footnote in the politics of China from when he was much too young too care for or remember. And to even pretend to care for the House of Romanov was too much of a favor to ask of him.<br/><br/>He had however heard things. “I have heard of a Devil Child.” he said.<br/><br/>Artyom shrugged, “I heard something of God's Daughter living in Russia and a lot of stories going around like that. It was exceptionally profound in the city for a while and when I caught a break I tried  to follow it. I got about as far as Astrakhan before it became a dead-end and I came back up-river.”<br/><br/>Jun looked back outside to the swelling crowd. As it grew he felt an uneasy sensation that someone had noticed him, and was now watching the watcher. It was the old cold sensation that crawled on his spine and stood the hairs up on end. He scanned the bleary foggy faces trying to find out who it was, but found no one else looking his way. He supposed it was just paranoia, but the sinking feeling just couldn't be shaken.<br/><br/>The crowd began to settle, with the traffic in slowing to a tame trickle. The square was packed shoulder to shoulder and the two men had a clear line of sight over their heads from the empty window frames of their first-floor perch. From atop the Duma steps lights flickered on and the events started. Dressed in a heavy robe a large beast of a man stepped out to the microphone and began his speech. ""Look at this place. Look at what you carry. You carry torches, my friends, like cavemen!” the bear of a cossack began from between the two mangled stone lions that flanked the wide steps of the Duma's entrance. Stoic forms flanked him at his sides with their arms crossed and shoulders raised like soldiers at attention. The speaker's voice was deep, and boomed over the audience. “And the light flickers in craters that were your roads."" he continued to speak, Jun leaned up against the wall, scanning out along the edges of the crowd. In response to him, the gathered Russians grumbled.<br/><br/>""Your buildings, look at them! Look at this statued lion!” he continued on in his loud speech voice, holding out a hand to one of the lion statues at his side, “It used to have a face, my friends, but the face has been gone for some time. This, this right here is Russia. I think this is Russia at its best now!"" he went on, and Jun's patience began to lapse. Artyom was listening intently with his hand raised to his chin. He scratched at his coarse stubbly chin as he took mental notes on the tough Cossack's presentation and declarations. For Jun though, he was looking for something. Though all eyes were on the stage there was still a shifty sensation of Jun being watched and he desperately looked to see whose heads were turned the wrong way.<br/><br/>“The Tsar died ten years ago. You all remember what it was like before. We were a strong people! Russia was the stone wall that stood between Communism and everything!” the man continued.<br/><br/>“Who is this man?” Jun asked, leaning his head out the window to look about.<br/><br/>“If I had to guess it's Hetman Apostol.” Artyom answered him.<br/><br/>“Hetman?”<br/><br/>“That's his rank, a Hetman leads the Cossacks. I can't remember what his first name is, I only know him by his last. Like so many other Hetmen.”<br/><br/>Jun nodded, and found something sitting up on a low wall at the corner of the crowd. A round slouched figure in a dark coat and short black hair combed up over his head. The morning shadows hid the details of his face, but Jun was sure he saw the man turn his head and look at Jun. He had to be it.<br/><br/>Without a word, Jun turned for the door and left. Artyom turned in his chair, his brow raised. He called out behind him, “Wait, where the fuck are you going?” he called back. Jun didn't answer his question as he went through the door. “Crazy <span class=""bb-i"">cyka blyatt</span>.” Artyom cursed when his partner had cleared the empty house.<br/><br/>The air was different outside. Without four walls and a ceiling over him the morning air moved with a soft breeze in the streets. It was further moved by the vodka breaths of the spectators as they cheered, clapped, and beat their feet and fists in passionate agreement with the Hetman on stage. “are we not still Russians? You are the same people who lived in the Tsar's Russia, are you not?” he continued on passionately as Jun entered through the fringes of the crowd, keeping his head low as he parted the crowd to make his way through. Muted cries and jeers of protest followed him before the path sealed back up behind him as he went through. He thought he heard Artyom heckling him as he passed their little guard post, but he kept on through with full determination.<br/><br/>When he left, he came out on a side-street. He looked around and found the wall the man was standing on, but he had moved. He looked around some more looking for the figure, and found down the cratered street the ends of a coat-tail slip through an alley. He darted down breathing in the cool morning air as he went. As he drew further from the speech into the ghostly silent streets his foot falls echoed. When he came to the alley, he found it empty.<br/><br/>He raced through it all the same, and looked down the street he had entered out into now. There was still no sign of the man he had seen, but he was closer now to the stage than he had been before.<br/><br/>“I was told a story years ago,” Apostol's speech continued, “and I tell that story to you now. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. A Doctor, and a good man, stood and watched a pale woman bleed to death on the carpet of her own hotel. The Royal blood of a Princess murdered by terrorists. The Princess was pregnant,” he stopped his search and Jun turned back to the speech. There wasn't much to see of the Hetman passed the tightly clustered bodies but Jun drew near. He came to the edge of the scene and climbed up on a darkened street lamp to see and watch. The story was interesting him as it went, “she carried a child and died with it suffocating in her womb. That is how far they went to destroy the old iron. But the doctor and the good man, they saved the child. They went to show it to its grandfather, but the terrorists who killed the daughter killed Peter the Fourth, they shot him between the eyes and burned down his country! But the child lived. She saw the fire! She grew up in the smoke!""<br/><br/>There was a resounding thunderous roar from the crowd. If there was anymore to be said by him it was washed out by the tremendous thunder and crashing of voices and glass of the mob. Somewhere he thought he heard someone shoot a gun, and looked for a source and found nothing. He supposed it was an illusion until the tanks rolled into the square and Jun watched in stunned silence the column of ratty European-cast armor rumbled into the torch light. Carrying atop them a young girl wearing military fatigues. She looked to have been no older than thirteen, perhaps ten. The clothes she wore hung loose off her small delicate frame.<br/><br/>“I am Regina Romanov, granddaughter of the Tsar. I am going to Moscow! I am going to Moscow! Who wants to follow!?” she shouted over the massive crowd, her voice little more than a waspy screech that echoed in the cool morning air like the angry cry of a small voice. She was answered with energetic, enthusiastic cheers and men rose their fists and cried out their support.<br/><br/>This wasn't just a speech, it was a coronation. Jun looked about, and realized where he was. He jumped down from the lamp-post and slunk away. At the far end of the street he saw the dark-coated man in the middle of the street. Looking towards him. At him. With a nod he acknowledged Jun, and rose his hand in salute, before bowing and slipping away.<br/><br/>Jun didn't follow him. He knew he had been spotted. But the clammy sensation of someone else keeping an eye on him had not lifted. His hands crept to the familiar weight of his hand gun underneath his own tattered coat and he felt safe. Or at the least, should whatever ghost that was watching him came out to kill him he could at the least fight it. But the man he had tried to catch, he knew that wasn't who he should be worried about.<br/><br/>It didn't make his breaths any less lighter as he walked away from the cheering crowd. Their enthusiasm was explosive, and he was afraid if they caught him in their drunken joy then that Russian pride might just end his mission in Russia.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Yekaterinburg</div><br/><br/>Huei Wen sat alone with the regal looking Russian in the dining room of an abandoned farmhouse, north of the Republican capital. Outside the sounds of camp life dragged on. But the two men were adrift in their own dimension as Wen came face to face with the former general who had been for so long a ghost and a reaving specter in the Russian north. Or for as much as Chinese intelligence had suggested.<br/><br/>Huei Wen didn't know what to think of the officer when he had came to the camp. Walking by foot he had stepped from the wilderness with an absolute Goliathian bear at his side. With the number of weapons holsters, straps, and bags that hung from his frame he looked no different from a foot soldier from a distance. It wasn't until through all the gear the white of his officer's uniform shone from underneath and Wen knew who he was. It was no less announced from the golem that followed him.<br/><br/>Both commanders retired to the privacy of inside the farmhouse were dusty light streaming through the windows basked both of them in a tired yellow glow. Makulov looked different from what Wen assumed he would, but all the while much the same. He was a handsome looking man with a head of blonde hair and a pair of fierce blue eyes. But, while that set him different from he had expected the general still looked dirty, and tired.<br/><br/>He had the air about him much akin to that of a guerrilla fighter in the bush. A thin scraggy beard grew underneath his chin and bags hung under his eyes. He looked hungry and the skin hung loose off his bones making his cheeks shallow and neck shrunken to inside itself. Innumerable lines traced the features of the face making him look years older than he really was.<br/><br/>“You took your time, I'm surprised you made it.” Makulov spoke first, breaking the tense probing silence between the two. Not much had been organized to establish what the two were to lay on the table and neither knew each other's intention. There had been no initiative to discuss what needed to be discussed, and either side held the other in patient mystery.<br/><br/>“I'm not the previous commander.” Huei Wen rebuked. The Russian general's comment had been sharp but he wasn't sure it was meant to be biting, “Besides, you yourself took your time.”<br/><br/>Makulov smiled, “I'm sure I did. I admit I under-estimated you...” he hung his words as he looked up invitingly at Huei Wen, inviting him to answer the question before it could be posed and unsure of what title to use.”<br/><br/>“Wen.” Huei Wen answered. “Huei Wen.”<br/><br/>Makulov nodded, “General Wen. While I knew the Republic was cancerousky dying from within I wasn't sure if like last time the Chinese would scurry back to the east at the first sign of engagement as was last time or press on until the Republic no doubt finally broke. The track record for conquest west has been remarkably poor, no offense. Hence my hesitation and lack of reply. I received your two agents, we talked, and I allowed them to stay.”<br/><br/>“So I heard the reports.” said Wen, “I haven't heard anything from either in a long time.” he matched his hesitation with suspicion. He sensed a political air to the man that made him uneasy.<br/><br/>“They're both well, as far as I know.” Makulov consoled dryly, “Except one dropped off my radar at a certain point and I haven't heard one thing or the other for him. The second I sent to Moscow and the news that reaches my ear tells me he and the man I sent him with did his job admirably. I am expecting the two of them soon.”<br/><br/>“What's the details of these missions, if I can pry?”<br/><br/>Makulov shifted uncomfortably, clearly uneasy over being pressed about what he was up to. “What do you think?” he asked, “At least about one, the other I don't think would have made any news.”<br/><br/>Huei Wen stopped to consider. News had reached him the Republic's president had gone missing but he had dismissed it as rumor. By the time it reached him it had turned into a number of possibilities. He had simply resigned his post, he had fallen ill and died, gone missing, or kidnapped by insurgent forces by either the Chinese or Radek's Neo-Bolsheviks. “One kidnapped the president.” he said, the piece fit well. He hopped not to well.<br/><br/>Makulov nodded approvingly and smiled. “I did, a meek one. Sort of bookish. I didn't know what was at offer with him so took my chances. Seems he paid off.<br/><br/>“The other, some silent bastard I wanted to clean up some things. Mutual enemies to the two of us and the Republic like-wise. I wanted the Mafiya pruned back as far as possible in my area to give me room to breath. I credit the death of a very infamous individual – two, really – to him but since they died he disappeared completely from my radar and my own contacts and informants scattered about the country haven't reported anything back to me yet.”<br/><br/>“Your contacts, how deep do they go?” Wen asked, prematurely.<br/><br/>Makulov denied him and answer and resigned with a curious shake of the head. “I don't even know if we're both going to be allies still.” he said coldly, “How am I going to tell you anything like that if I'm not confident the two of us are working together.”<br/><br/>The subtle suspicion that was brewing in Wen bubbled and turned inside him. But he felt he had little choice on the matter. Ever if late, and objective he had set for the campaign was before him and more man power was better than no man power. Makulov would be consolidation in a land that was so large it could very well soak him up in it. Makulov, if trusty worthy and loyal in Huei Wen's mindset would be the bit more he needed to so inundate the sponge it could be overwhelmed and no man would have to surrender themselves to simply forcing the Republic to slowly cede territory and to cut apart that sponge.<br/><br/>“The offer is still on the table.” he confirmed.<br/><br/>“Are there terms, oaths of loyalty to swear?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Only so far you commit yourself to the communist unification of the Russian heartlands, and you operate as a peaceful body in the formation of a revolutionary government for a future Russia. The oaths will be sworn then. Until that time, the loyalty is to the task its hand, as a coalition with the Chinese and the Siberian authorities, as me as its high commander.”<br/><br/>“What do we get for assisting the Chinese?” he asked.<br/><br/>“Access to our logistics. The Chinese military will arm, supply, and dress your men as supporters of the revolution. You will receive available intelligence from known enemy movements to broad meteorological reports. I can give you ammunition, weapons, and equipment to better enable your men to achieve our common objectives.”<br/><br/>“Seems like a fair deal.” Makulov said, shifting in his wooden chair, “Where is our objective?”<br/><br/>“Moscow, and to close separation between us and Radek's corner of Russia.”<br/><br/>“Great objectives.”<br/><br/>“And we're very nearly in European Russia. I hope a few strategic victories will so break the remains of the Republic's forces we can march straight to Moscow and bring the rest of the government to heel.”<br/><br/>“Then there is something you should know about this capital: it has my men inside of it.” Makulov said, “Not many. But we had been turning neighborhoods into a state of siege in revolt against the Republic. The Duma Capital was in the process of being over-turned before you arrived. You Chinese have done a good job of letting new men into Yekaterinburg, but not so much supplies and my men need foot and ammo.<br/><br/>“I tried to run your lines before and send envoys but they had all been shot and turned back.”<br/><br/>“I wanted the city to starve out, and I had not known.” Huei Wen apologized, “But if I can make an excuse then I would have known if I had my own envoys close to you.”<br/><br/>“I acknowledge that now.” Maklov admitted in a grievous voice, “But I had it in my hopes you might have been delayed just a little longer, that the Republic would attempt to hold every village and town between the front and the capital. But they've been in a state or near constant retreat and consolidation on the biggest targets in Russia.<br/><br/>“If I'm going to be wise general, I'm afraid they might try to envelope you. Or would, but the government now is confused and disorganized. You have breathing room, now.”<br/><br/>“What do you recommend?” Wen asked.<br/><br/>Makulov smiled, and leaned back. “That we take this city, relieve my men, and hold half the Republican Duma as prisoner!”<br/><br/>“You're an aggressive man.” commented Wen.<br/><br/>“I'm a timely man.” he corrected.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h1"">China</div><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Tianjin</div><br/><br/>Warm afternoon sunlight filtered through the windows. Standing behind an armchair Wen Xiaogang, the secretary for the national congress stood at ease as Hou reclined back in his chair. The living room was quiet. The princes of Ethiopia were outside on the deck with their mother. The foreign language was muffled through the glass door wall that separated them from the two leaders.<br/><br/>“The congressional proposal to declare war on the Portuguese fell through.” Xiaogang remarked drly, looking out at the ocean beyond the back deck. Xiaogang was a rather average figure, he was old like so many with a nearly bald head. What hair he had left was slowly becoming silver in color and the rest of his color was fading slowly.<br/><br/>“It's no wonder, really.” Hou remarked with a dry dispassionate voice, “We don't have much in the way of grounds.”<br/><br/>Xiaogang shrugged, a little indifferent. “I was all the while believing it would pass and we'd find ourselves marching off against Spain for one reason or another. It was looking like it had wide support behind it but it fell through the rungs at the last minute with hardly enough votes behind it to leave it on the table. The War Bloc that had formed behind it dispersed and we're back to where we are before. We scheduled another hearing with the military on the status in Africa.”<br/><br/>Hou nodded indifferently. Wen Xiaogang continued, “I imagine Commander Lou will send another officer to tell us the same thing: Ethiopia is a massive nation and the Spanish will just be absorbed and chewed up in its territory. Like the Japanese they can't get far without turning the entire army into a line of men on sentry duty on every road, bridge, and railway, or every river and valley in that country. Then all Hassan would have to do is pick off each sentry man by man and retake the Empire.”<br/><br/>Hou wasn't committed to enter the discussion about war in Africa. He was such a man that any comment made about it to any person might somewhere down the line be interpreted as policy. He was sure that if had any response to the congressional secretary pertaining to the War in Africa or the Ethiopians he might even read into it subconsciously as support for one thing or another.<br/><br/>The silence between the two of them went on for a while until an aid walked into the room and set on the tea-table between them a tea set of two cups, and a pair of dark maroon colored soups; hóng dòu tāng, red bean soup. Xiaogang looked down at the plate, and back up to Hou.<br/><br/>“I asked to meet with Dong Wan Chun today.” Hou answered the question Xiaogang was too late to ask, “He likes red bean soup.”<br/><br/>“I'm familiar with him, he's the Judicial Committeeman, yes?” asked Xiaogang.<br/><br/>Hou nodded.<br/><br/>“So I guess I will have to leave shortly.” the secretary sighed.<br/><br/>“Well not quiet yet, the man has a few minutes yet. You can certainly pass him through the door.” excused Hou, “Unless you have anything else.”<br/><br/>Xiaogang shrugged, “My son's wedding will be in a couple weeks.” he said flatly, “You remember the invitation, surely?”<br/><br/>“I did, and I said I'd still think about it.”<br/><br/>“I hope you make up your mind.” pleaded Xiaogang, “It would be an immense honor for the chairman of The Party and Grand Secretary of the nation to show up and give him his blessings. It might as well do you plentiful good to leave the house.”<br/><br/>“I've been away from the house for a long time, I think I have time to catch up on.” Hou remarked, folding his hands in his lap, “But as I said, I will think about it.”<br/><br/>“I hope you would consider,” Wen remarked, “at the very least, you can take the trip as the last before you retire to behind the curtain.”<br/><br/>From outside the sounds of a car engine could be heard as wheels broke over gravel. Both men looked towards the door. Bowing, Wen Xiaogang stepped away, “Your guest is here.” he said in a low voice.<br/><br/>“He's early.” Hou said.<br/><br/>“I have things to take care of in Beijing in any case, Congress is still in session.” said the secretary as he headed  for the door, “I'll keep you updated as things develop. I may someday have something to bring to your house to sign after all.”<br/><br/>“I trust you'll keep things all in check while I'm away. You were always good at that. I wish you the best to your abilities, comrade.” Hou called out to him. Wen smiled and slipped on his shoes as the judge walked in. The two exchanged polite bows before the congressional secretary left.<br/><br/>Dong Wan Chun was  by no means a small sort of man. He carried a great weight on his bones and was an unusually larger person, the top of his hat brushing the top of Hou's door frame as he had entered. Removing it, he bowed as low as he was tall to the chairman. “How are you doing, comrade?” he spoke softly.<br/><br/>Wan Chun was a pale man, with equally white and silvery hair that clung thin to a balding head. His narrow almond eyes peered out across a long round nose and he wrapped his thick hands in his lap as he sat. With narrow features and his whiter complexion, he was very much a northern man much like Hou.<br/><br/>“I do well.” the chairman said in his dry voice. “Would you like some tea?” he offered.<br/><br/>“Certainly, thank you.” Wan Chun said in a grateful tone. “I've been needing a drink all afternoon, I hadn't had so much a glass of water since leaving the courts this morning.”<br/><br/>“And how is the judiciary running, I hear so little about it.”<br/><br/>“We haven't been nearly as busy as we had been some ten years ago. But the cases of the Red Gang still linger. The attornies and we are still at work covering the lingering court battles of the lesser-known figures.<br/><br/>“It's a great disservice and honor that the IB had to take the matters of law in their own hands and kill off so many of the top names outside of our jurisdiction!” Wan Chun said, taking the moment to petition the leaving Grand Secretary over his matters, “The state should function on a proper use our revolutionary law, not extra judicial assassinations.”<br/><br/>“It is a shame, but I stand by the end decision and the post-mortem ruling of the courts. One way or the other it would have happened. Yan Sing even offered up the responsible officers, we shouldn't dwell on that more than it needs, we need to look ahead.”<br/><br/>Wan Chun sighed as he had a sip of tea, and leaned back in the chair. He made himself fit, even though he looked so much taller in it than anyone else. “So, what had you had in mind to discuss?” he asked.<br/><br/>“The matter of the elections, what are your thoughts?” Hou asked as the judge took a measured taste of the soup.<br/><br/>He seemed to consider the question, hanging quietly on it as he sipped and sampled. “This is fine soup by the way.” he complimented, before falling quiet again.<br/><br/>“The elections,” he began with a pause, “I have decided I wouldn't involve myself in them. I would support whoever it was who won. I owe that to whoever enters the secretariat.”<br/><br/>“I've been thinking about my choice in time to retire.” Hou responded, quick and premeditated, “And about the time I decided to leave China's future to someone else's hand. I want it to go the right way, and I need fellow vouchers to give that weight.”<br/><br/>Wan Chun looked up at him, an expression of stricken surprise muting all else in his face and eyes. “What would be your thoughts?” Hou asked.<br/><br/>Wan Chun sighed and lowered the bowl of soup on the table and looked down at his feet for a long moment.<br/><br/>“I've been thinking of retirement too.” he announced, “And that as a man of my age I am done with devoting my life to politics.” he rose his look to Hou and looked him in the eyes, “I understand the importance of keeping things quiet, so I'll keep what you're suggesting down low. But I'm not a power hungry or ambitious, terrified Congressman, comrade. I have three sons and all of them have grand-children of their own. It's time I lay down my political career in full to spend time as the head of a family.”<br/><br/>He got to his feet, and gently returned his hat to his head. “With all due respect, comrade chairman. I won't be endorsing anyone.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-h2"">Korla</div><br/><div class=""bb-h3"">Southern Xianjiang</div><br/><br/>A clear sky lorded over the Friday afternoon. A dry but calm heat filled the air, typical of late July. At the banks of the Kaidu river a simple homly mosque stood overlooking the sandy river as it flowed through the middle of the small city and to the farm-fields beyond. The stone bridges across the river were already full of life as afternoon traffic passed either ways across the river, on bicycles of rickshaws on their way  to work or lunch. For the Uyghur Muslims, it was the end of the Friday afternoon services and finishing their prayers, the faithful rose to their feet.<br/><br/>Erkin Amas, the retired general of the revolution lead his people from the door, have conducted his sermons as elected by the congregation. Pleasantries abounded between he and the meager congregation as they filtered towards the front doors. All were dressed in their bests, soft silk robes of white or blue. They bowed and smiled. Some of the former soldiers among them saluted Amas, joking and laughing in jest.<br/><br/>The mosque central Korla wasn't an impressive structure. It was a new building built from a block abandoned from the war decades ago. The old ones had been destroyed or seized by the provincial government on and off. Their new mosque now looked to resemble a large home or office. Two stories, made of worn concrete and stone. There was no minaret to speak of on the new building, but this had ceased to bother the members of the community and the naked form of the temple allowed them a certain level of invisibility to what they were all afraid of were those anxious types, who still regarded the faith of Islam as foreign as the Christians. Or those wary of the Uyghurs all together.<br/><br/>Erkin Amas had been noting the tension. Those who heard Mang Xhu's words felt strongly for them and it put his people on edge.<br/><br/>“Go home!” a man shouted angrily, greeting the congregation as they stepped out of the doors into the piercing white light of the afternoon sun, “Corrupting people, leave like all the dogs you are and take your foul opiate with you!”<br/><br/>The outburst from the heckler who had so immediately interrupted them as they stepped out from mosque caught the congregation off guard and they stood back in the shadows of the door way. A sudden tension filled the air as the man kept shouting. “You're all disgusting!” the heckler jeered in a loud voice. He was a squat man, with a face well burned by the sun. A head of wild uncombed hair laid across a spotted and dimpled head. “The Revolution should have cast you out. It is your outside ideas that corrupt the nation. You hold us all back. You spoil the image of the China!”<br/><br/>Erkin Amas stepped forward. The tall, sizable former general easily stood over many of his fellow Uyghur and Hui who lived in and around the city. There was still a general tension and unease, afraid they might provoke something. Erkin however, stepped through the door and into the hard light of the Korla sun.<br/><br/>“You!” the heckler shouted, picking out the former general, the appointed Imam, “You lead these people. Take you and your horse fucking back to Kazakhstan where you belong.”<br/><br/>“And what then?” Erkin asked in a polite voice.<br/><br/>“To tell the uncivilized nomads who are your brothers that a great revolution will come. The points of their minarets will  be thrown down.” the small man raved.<br/><br/>Erkin walked up close to him, and the man had to look up at him. Erkin folded his hands in front of him and looked plainly down.<br/><br/>“My people have lived here for thousands of years. Perhaps longer than you and y our family.” he said, “We're one of the same nation. It is not a good idea to throw out your own brothers.”<br/><br/>“Is so if they pollute the house which they live in!” the man argued.<br/><br/>“I disagree, because we have done no such thing. Or have I. Do you know who I am?”<br/><br/>“It doesn't matter, you stubbornly do not renounce your feudal beliefs and liberate yourself for the future. Therefore, you are an anchor to our forward progress!”<br/><br/>“I am general Erkin Amas, of the Western Corp of Revolutionary Volunteers.”<br/><br/>“Unimportant!” scoffed the man.<br/><br/>“And who says so?”<br/><br/>“Comrade Xhu, the new light for China. He will become the next great leader of our nation, and he shall smash your idols and your systems to free all men. Even it means those such as yourself will be put down in blood!”<br/><br/>Erkin sighed, and place his hands on the man. Turning him around he guided him away from the building as he protested wildly. Looking back to his people, Erkin gave them an assuring nod and they went out to the rest of their days.<br/><br/>“I know not who you are, comrade,” Erkin said, “but I ask you to find some new way to vent your frustrations. We do not deserve, nor do we want to suffer your indignity.”<br/><br/>“Bullshit, you are the reason the west is not as powerful as the east!” the man shouted irrationally.<br/><br/>“I can tell you are disturbed, but leave.” Erkin insisted, pushing the man away and pointing out into the rest of the city.<br/><br/>Seeing as how he had been beaten by a giant, the man turned and left. But it did not leave the retired general feeling any better for it.</div>"

The economy has been going down slowly as the country is falling apart. Students in Ghent University protested about the economy and several other key issues for several hours before riot police had to be called. The prices of basic things had risen up since the announcement. And more people are heading for France, Britain, and the Netherlands. Most of the cases are illegal, while only a few are legal. <br/><br/>Stefaan just left the market area when he heard some chanting in the distance. “Ze verdienen het niet om hier te zijn!” the chant translated to “They don't deserve to be here!” <br/><br/>A crowd had formed nearby Belgium's embassy with signs and chants for the Belgians inside to see. Police were there to keep the peace as they formed a wall between the growing crowd and the embassy. The relations between both countries used to be the one of the closest international relationships in existence, because of their shared history, culture, institutions and language. Then it all changed during the Great War, Belgium was quickly crushed and the Netherlands chose neutrality. With the war lasting too long, the small country depended on the Netherlands. <br/><br/>But, the conservative party decided that Belgium should look out for themselves and left them to face their problems on their own. Since the conservative party has been ruling the Dutch government since the war ended, relations between the countries kept getting worse. Now, Belgium is suffering and they want their neighbor to know that they are suffering.<br/><br/>Stefaan didn't want to stay too long at the protest, because he didn't want to hold the bag of food any longer. He saw several police cars driving on the street where he lived as he reached his apartment. He looked to see what was going on, but he didn't matter as he got inside and headed for his room.<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Amsterdam, Netherlands</span></span><br/>	   “We have a great time.” a young man said as he searched the room for his clothes. Another young man, laying on the bed with the sheets covering him, looked at the man and couldn't help to smile at him. “You sure that you don't want more?” the man asked while patting the bed and giving him the 'look'. The man grinned at the suggestion and shook his head as he got on his pants.<br/><br/>“I can't. I have to go back home.” he told the man in the bed. <br/><br/>“Alright.” he sighed as he grabbed his underwear beside him and put it on while still covered with the sheets. Then, he reached for his pants on the ground of the bed as he tried to not fall off of the bed. But, he failed as he crash landed onto the ground and the other man looked and laughed. The embarrassed young man grabbed his pants and put them on quickly. The man walked over to the man on the floor and helped him off of the ground. Then, he gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.<br/><br/>“I will bring back some coffee.” the man said as he headed for the door and left to get some coffee on the ground floor. The young man was by his self as he got on his shirt and waited for him to come back. The man sat on the bed and waited for him as he looked at the newspaper that was a couple days old. He kept on reading it for a moment until he heard a sound that was similar to a door being kicked down below and then shouting. The man put down the newspaper beside him and started to get worried.<br/><br/>The other man came back as he rushed into the room and closed the door. “What's going on?” the young man asked as he headed for the scared man. “The police are here!” the man shouted as he locked the door and looked for any possible ways out. He froze in place as soon as he heard the word 'police' and started to get nervous. There was a moment where he was worried that he was going to jail until he heard a cheer.<br/><br/>“The window!” he said as he opened it up and looked around to find a fire escape. It was getting dark out and the police would be too busy to look outside. Both men gathered to the window as they were getting to leave until they heard knocking on the door. “This is the police. Open the door or we will break it!” a voice shouted from the other side as it tried to open the door.<br/><br/>The young man managed to get to the fire escape before the window was shut. The man still in the room waved goodbye to him and blew him a kiss before heading towards the door. The young man couldn't do anything besides get out of the area before the police manage to spot him. He raced down the fire escape and heard shouting and screams of pain above. The man stopped for a moment and then tried to use the ladder. It was half way down to the ground, where he could just jump off without facing any injuries.<br/><br/>He jumped down from the fire escape and started to run out of the area. He needed to get back home before someone spots him. The man kept running for about two blocks before he started to walk normally. <br/><br/> <span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Amsterdam, Netherlands</span></span><br/>	   Prime Minister Rikkert Wiecherink listened to the radio as the news was on about the protest nearby the Belgian embassy. It has since ended as people started to head back to their homes before night time. While he was listening to the radio, he was finishing up on reading about a report released by a committee that talked about the weakness of the river dikes and how they will break someday. The Prime Minister considered updating the dikes, but that would need the local population to agree on demolishing their houses and straightening and strengthening the old meandering dikes.<br/><br/>He knew that there were other issues at hand to enforce the order, but he wasn't against the idea. For now, he would need to put it aside until the situation with Belgium is dealt with. Wiecherink yawned for a moment before he heard a knock on the door. He got up from his chair and headed for the door as he yawned again before opening the door. The Minister of Defense stool there with his coat on and his suitcase nearby him. <br/><br/>“Ready to go?” Theun Groot Overmeene said to his friend as he grabbed his suitcase on the ground. <br/><br/>Wiecherink nodded as he walked out of his office and closed the door as the men started to walk. They didn't talk much about how their day was and how the coffee tasted good this time. They did talk about the protest that happened at the Belgian embassy. “Protests like the one that happened today will keep on happening until we do something about it.” Overmeene said to Wiecherink, waiting for a response.<br/><br/>“And something will happen. I am going to talk to the rest of the cabinet about it tomorrow.” he responded as the two men walked down the stairs before stopping at the ground level. “I will get some rest and we'll talk about Belgium tomorrow. You should get some rest as well.”<br/><br/>Wiecherink walked to the front doors and said to Overmeene, “It will be a long day.” He opened the doors and headed for the car that was standing near the entrance. Overmeene couldn't wait for tomorrow as he also got out of the building and headed for his car in the parking lot nearby. Tomorrow was going to be an interesting one.</div>"

A rain had passed through the previous night, soaking everything and leaving a curious mist in the air. Craters were filled with water from either the storm or from ruptured sewage pipes, leaving the bodies rotting inside. There were bodies everywhere, cut down by Armenian machinegunners behind the bullet-ridden facade of the hotel. Most of them wore the uniforms of Turkish regulars, tan uniforms, puttees up to their knees, brown web flak jackets and web gear, and a helmet covered with a khaki fabric cover bearing their regiment's number: 806. Mixed in was a healthy dose of reservist corpses, wearing the same uniform but lacking such protective equipment like a helmet or vest. The typical Armenian rifle platoon maintained a weapons squad that brought two medium-machinegun teams to bear: they were the singlemost casualty producing weapon in a regular unit's arsenal. Abbasian had funneled them down this boulevard to deadly efficiency. Covered behind brick walls with a healthy sector of fire, these machineguns were the first line of defense for the platoon and were responsible with massacring incoming troops before the riflemen could get a good view.<br/><br/>The machinegun, designated the K44 in Armenian service, was a modified version of a popular Polish design. It could carry two hundred rounds on a linked belt, capable of intensely fast automatic fire. The caliber was another 7.62mm round similar to the standard one used in the service rifle: the difference being the rifle cartridge was 39 millimeters long while the machinegun round packed more powder into 54 millimeters of length. The results were devastating: Abbasian had personally seen Ottoman troops ripped in half by a single bullet, or simply exploded into a fine pink mist. It was rumored that, in close combat, the speed of the bullet whizzing past someone was enough to heat up the surrounding air by friction and produce light burns on the skin. The boulevard was slick with dark red blood and guts. It made Abbasian sick, but he couldn't show. Infantry combat was visceral and intense, a far cry from his time looking through the lenses of a set of binoculars while radioing artillery batteries to adjust their fire. He had seen battle before and had watched people die, yes, but it had been from kilometers away. He never saw the detail of what a shrapnel-producing shell would do to a man unless they were driving through an impact area on their advance, and even then the mortuary affairs personnel had already covered the enemy bodies and were loading them onto trucks to send to one of the many mass, unmarked graves.<br/><br/>There was no mortuary affairs team to take care of the dead Ottomans laying in their craters: at best, they would be taken care of after the battle was over. At worst, Abbasian or his platoon sergeant would an incendiary shell into one of their tube-like portable grenade launchers and torch the bodies. It was too damp for the latter option, at least for now. Their dead would have to stare the living in the face, unblinking and unflinching. It did something to morale, seeing the dead for so long. It was easy during the reconquest of Erzurum, passing by towns and trenches that had been shelled and cleared hastily. Now, with the fight turning into a slog over the east of town, both sides had to come to terms with their actions. For all the jingoism and hawkishness of the general population and the military itself, war becomes terrible when faced head-on. Abbasian had heard, before his deployment, that killing begins to affect a man in terrible ways even when that killing was necessary. For all the glorified depictions of war in the cinema or the patriotic literature, they neglected to tell him that the human mind will wander. After all, these dead Ottomans had lives just like he did: favorite childhood toys, first kisses, dreams for civilian life outside of the army, and inside jokes with groups of friends.<br/><br/>They had asked the officer candidates when they think they'd start registering guilt for their actions. After ten dead enemies? Five? For Abbasian, and for quite possibly every human being who had ever carried a weapon into combat since the dawn of mankind, the answer was closer to one.<br/><br/>It was around noon when Abbasian realized that there had been no fighting in the general area for a few hours. He talked to his platoon sergeant and wondered if they had beaten back the enemy. His RTO, however, had informed him that nothing had come over the radio. The night prior had seen intense fighting, the clatter of fire and the booms of artillery coming in nonstop. Were the Armenians beating the Turks out of the city? It was hard to tell, being confined to one building in the center of a thick urban neighborhood. The last news he had heard was that only one bridge remained standing: if that fell, they would be trapped on the other side. There were three endstates to the conflict that they had been briefed on: Plan Blue, where friendly forces would control the entirety of the city and maintain the status quo; Plan Red, where the Turks would regain their capital and all the pride that came with that; and Plan Purple, which divided the city along the Bosporus into a friendly west and a Turkish east. If Abbasian was to be left behind in the event of Plan Purple, he would be trapped in enemy territory. His fear was that they had bypassed his position completely and were to deal with him when mopping up after pushing the Armenians across the strait.<br/><br/>""Platoon Sergeant!"" he whispered, gesturing over to his post behind a blown-out brick wall where his rucksack leaned against an upside-down chair. The NCO scrambled his way over, taking note to keep down behind cover lest a sniper end his career right then and there.<br/><br/>""What's going on, Abbasian?"" the man asked quickly. He adjusted his helmet - which bore a Bible verse and a cross across the front - and nabbed a cigarette from the helmet band.<br/><br/>""I think the front might have passed us,"" the Lieutenant suggested. He reached for the folded-up map in his pocket. The front had been drawn out every morning as intelligence was relayed over the radio. As of yesterday, there were right at the tip of an Armenian bulge. It was easy enough for that bulge to be collapsed by Turkish forces in the night. The RTO had been working on the radio all morning and wasn't getting signal: Abbasian gave the order to disassemble it and figure out what was wrong while he continued talking to PSG.<br/><br/>""I've been hearing sporadic gunfire to our north and south, it could be moving west towards the strait,"" Abbasian continued. He turned his eyes back towards the RTO, furiously unscrewing the back panel of the radio with his screwdriver.<br/><br/>Abbasian's platoon sergeant wiped the sweat out of his short, black hair. ""Sir, I'm not sure if the line has held either. I'm inclined to agree... they've stopped coming down the boulevard, they must have found another way past.""<br/><br/>""And they've stopped the shelling,"" observed Abbasian. ""That could mean they're close, marking us as a holdout to encircle later.""<br/><br/>""So that makes us trapped,"" the PSG announced grimly. He turned his attention towards the RTO: ""How's the radio?""<br/><br/>The young radioman nervously held up what looked like a shattered piece of glass from the radio box. ""I think the shockwave from a grenade or something might have shattered this little vacuum tube here. Broke the radio without us knowing.""<br/><br/>The PSG looked to Abbasian, who nodded solemnly. ""So our radio is down, what do we want to do?""<br/><br/>""Reestablish communications,"" the Lieutenant answered immediately.<br/><br/>The RTO shook his head: ""Sir, this thing is fucking broken... I can't fix it, they don't tell me this shit. I ain't no electrical engineer, I just change the battery and turn dials.""<br/><br/>""Alright, then I want you to rejoin your squad and toss the thing. Take up a position on the line and wait for further guidance.""<br/><br/>The RTO scrambled off with a hasty affirmative, leaving the platoon leader and platoon sergeant to figure out the situation by themselves. The platoon sergeant sighed deeply, clutched his rifle by the handguard, and looked back towards the hotel's boulevard. ""Sir, I'd send a runner out if I were you.""<br/><br/>And so Abbasian sent a runner team out. Two volunteers from the platoon reported to him and were told the mission: head west until they encountered a friendly unit with working communications. Borrow the radio and call into company headquarters to inform them of the situation and get guidance. Return to the platoon and link up with the platoon leader. The RTO provided a notepad with frequencies and a step-by-step manual to change the channel on the device, a task more complicated than it sounded. The whole mission was to last no longer than three hours, with the platoon executing a withdrawal if the runners did not return in that time: it would be assumed that they were dead and the Turks had indeed encircled them. Passwords were exchanged and pre-combat checks and inspections were conducted. They took two magazines and a canteen of water with them, everything else staying with the platoon to potentially fend off an Ottoman attack in their absence. The Lieutenant wished them luck and sent them out through the back door of the hotel, where we watched them run through into the labyrinth of alleys that went behind the row of businesses on that street.<br/><br/>An hour later, a brief exchange of gunfire broke the silence a few blocks west of their position. The Lieutenant, with an icy feeling in his stomach, ordered his men to stand fast as quiet once again fell on East Istanbul. The runner team would not return by the designated time. The platoon would have to pull out the hard way.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Istanbul Treasury Complex, East Istanbul</span><br/><br/>Just a few blocks north, Apollo and Genghis rigged an improvised explosive charge to the chained, reinforced metal front doors of the Istanbul treasury building. The NSS agents stepped off and took cover by the stairs leading up to the entrance and detonated the bundles of Semtex. With a roaring whoosh and overwhelming force, the doors were blown inwards along with a sizeable chunk of the wall. The special agents shouted for the Armenians to breach, and the gaggle of MPs and intelligence clerks cleared straight into the marble lobby of the building. Weapons drawn, they scanned the room only to realize that the Istanbul militia were staring right back at them, astonished at what had just happened. The militiamen were dressed in blue police fatigues and bore whatever weapons they could find in their own homes. Many of them had bolt-action hunting rifles and leather belts to store ammunition, with a few using brown Turkish surplus equipment and more modern firearms. They were a motley looking group of older, overweight gentlemen who were outside of their element. Corporal George Yaglian guessed that these might have been less capable militiamen stuck guarding the treasury instead of immediately responding to the invasion.<br/><br/>Genghis stepped forward out of the mob of Armenians: ""Who is your leader?"" he asked in fluent Turkish, lowering his own weapon and presenting a friendly appearance.<br/><br/>One of the Istanbul militiamen raised his hand and stepped off from the wall. He was a middle-aged man who appeared to be an active police officer, based off of his rank epaulets and the cap he wore. He was armed only with a revolver and wore a black belt slung across his shoulder like a European constable. ""Who the hell are you? Greeks or Armenians?""<br/><br/>""It doesn't matter,"" Genghis answered. The policeman rolled his eyes.<br/><br/>""Armenians, I bet,"" he almost spat. ""I have a radio in the back, you're leaving this half of Istanbul to die.""<br/><br/>""I don't make the decisions, friend.""<br/><br/>""What do you want?""<br/><br/>The NSS agent turned to the group behind him, Yaglian in particular, and flicked his eyes towards the guards. <span class=""bb-i"">Make sure they freeze,</span> he mouthed. Then he whipped back to the police officer and drew his automatic pistol from his leather holster. ""I want you to fucking drop your weapons and face the wall.""<br/><br/>By the time the militia had figured out what had happened, the Armenians had all raised their weapons at them. Yaglian had eyes on a portly fellow who looked like he might have been a chef in real life, not at all suited for defending the Istanbul treasury from two apparently crazy Armenian intelligence agents. Genghis called an advance, leading the Armenians to walk methodically up to the Istanbul militia and press them against the wall.<br/><br/>""Drop your weapons! Face the wall!"" called out Apollo, waving his rifle around. He switched back to Armenian and added: ""If anyone goes for their piece, put 'em on the ground!""<br/><br/>Yaglian watched as the clerk next to him tackled a militiaman who was apparently too slow to get on the wall, smashing his head into the ground and kicking him in the spleen. The clerk had the common sense to kick the man's rifle away before grabbing his collar and forcing him back up. With a push, the militiaman went tumbling into the wall and kept his hands placed firmly above his head. Yaglian's chef had no such problems, obeying instantly. Apollo had evidently seen what had just happened and issued out a warning: ""No heroics! You cannot win here. You fight back, we leave you behind when we destroy the bridge.""<br/><br/>The militiamen turned and placed their palms on the wall, staring down at their boots. Yaglian pressed the muzzle of his rifle between the Istanbulite's shoulders and kept it there while he looked to Apollo for further guidance. This was insanity. These were their allies, after all. The NSS, apparently, had more important goals. The second-in-command, revolver still drawn, called out in Turkish again: ""I want the map of this place and the skeleton key.""<br/><br/>The police officer that Apollo had captured protested: ""The key won't get you what you want... Fucking Armenians, after the goddamn gold. Thieves. Filthy Armenian thieves.""<br/><br/>""If a key won't get me what I want then I'm going to blow the door off its hinges. This is just for convenience's sake,"" Apollo retorted. ""And how many of you guys are left?""<br/><br/>The police officer growled as Apollo pushed his revolver against his neck.<br/><br/>""Tell me or I'll start shooting,"" the NSS agent warned.<br/><br/>""You wouldn't dare.""<br/><br/>""Bitch, I might.""<br/><br/>He cocked back the hammer on his revolver, an unnecessary step but an intimidating sound nonetheless. This was enough to persuade the Istanbulite officer, who reported that this was it. Their contingent of a dozen men had been ordered to secure the treasury almost as an afterthought: most of the men had to go to the outskirts of the city to stave off an attack. The Armenians were unfortunate that there was anyone there at all. Apollo softened his grip, but still kept the officer under observation. He didn't know if this completely true, but the intimidated whimper from the pistol's action was enough to convince him to go ahead.<br/><br/>""Genghis, take the MPs and bring them down with you. The intel clerks can tie these guys up and toss 'em in the back."" Apollo turned to the militiamen and added: ""Don't worry, we'll let you go afterwards.""<br/><br/>Yaglian let a bespectacled clerk take over, his shaky hands leveling a rifle towards the Istanbulite's back. Yaglian tapped out and wished the kid good luck, before following the raid group towards the stairwell with Genghis taking the lead. The above-ground portion of the treasury contained mostly administrative facilities: meeting rooms, offices, workrooms, record rooms, and break rooms. Underground, however, was a concrete-reinforced bunker that held the reserves of the Turkish government before its splintering. Genghis, as it turned out, was interested in two things: the gold and the cash. Each one had a decidedly strategic use for the Armenian government.<br/><br/>The gold's initial benefit was obvious. The Armenian financial elements would be selling this stolen Turkish gold on the quasi-legal grey market. Persian businessmen, Greek socialites, and Ethiopian royalty alike would have an interest in purchasing these things. If it wasn't sold, it would be squirreled away in Yerevan's vaults to back the dram as national currency. In addition, it would deprive the Ottomans of their gold reserves if they were to retake the city: this was becoming more and more crucial as it appeared that the Ottoman forces would pry East Istanbul from the locals' hands.<br/><br/>The cash served its purpose for the NSS. Ottoman bills were still used in some parts of Georgia where lawlessness still reigned and the government could not stand up its economic system. NSS operatives inserted into the country would be using these stolen bills to bribe and barter with warlords. The money was also to be kept in a reserve in NSS warehouses in case of another war with Turkey, whereupon it would be quickly injected into the local economy with operators and airdrops to rapidly drive up inflation. Counterfeit bills would be mixed in with the real notes, spreading widespread distrust of the money that had just recently appeared. Economic warfare was shaping up to be an effective concept in the asymmetric fight between the Armenians, who needed every advantage they could get, and the Turks.<br/><br/>At the base of the stairs was an auxiliary generator room that contained a diesel generator for the electrical systems. Seeing the gates to a freight elevator ahead, Genghis pointed out Yaglian and a buddy to start it up and get it ready. This was a simple task: fuel the generator and flip the switch. Lights clacked on throughout the concrete bunker and cast a flickering yellow shade on the barrenness. Genghis sheperded the MPs onto the freight elevator that occupied a central space in the room before hitting the switch. With a laborious groan, the elevator began moving down slowly while the Armenians checked their equipment. Two minutes later, they had dropped down into the vault.<br/><br/>The lights were already on, illuminating a massive underground warehouse. Shelves stacked with crates of gold bricks stretched on as far as they could see. Piles of money alongside printing presses and plates lay behind prison-cell-style bars. Guard positions lay empty, the occupants long since captured on the first floor. A few of the soldiers wandered over to the crates filled with golden bars and inspected them with a mixture of curiosity and amazement. Many of them had never seen this much money in their entire life: the wealth of the Ottoman Empire, all in one place. Still, many of the shelves and cells were emptied, evacuated by helicopter during the riots and protests when the Sultan was killed. Some trucks had tried to move the gold out of the city before, but the public was tipped off and the convoy was ambushed in the ghettoes by poverty-stricken minorities.<br/><br/>The NSS agent picked up a bar from the floor and turned it over in his hands, weapon slung at his side. He turned to a soldier beside him and handed off his green backpack that contained a portable radio: ""Call for helicopters to help out. If they balk, use the authorization code 'Peppers.' This will key them in that it's an NSS operation with full priority. Request as many cargo helicopters as they can spare to land in the treasury's parking lot. We'll move the paper money out that way.""<br/><br/>Genghis turned to the other Armenians: ""Load up the gold into the trucks. Take the elevator to the shipping dock on the ground floor and move it from there. This needs to be back at the airport as soon as possible: our flight is waiting. Let's move.""</div>"

Sluggishly, he got dressed and made his way outside, where a clunky machine was already waiting to take him to his new home. As he pulled himself up into the back of the truck, he saw a few other men, most of them displaced in some way, sleeping in the back of the truck. He made his way, as quietly as possible, to a seat across the only other man awake, and set his bag in his lap. As the truck coughed and jostled with life, Katashi watched as his old life slowly faded into the distance, and slowly began to nod off.<br/><br/>A short while later, Katashi awakened as bright sunlight flooded the back of the truck, and a large group of young men boarded the truck, filling the back with bodies and noise. Adjusting his glasses on his nose, Katashi looked around the truck, noticing the disgruntled looks of the other veterans who were awakened by the newcomers. <br/><br/>“Hey, you” said one of the older men closer to the front. “Do you have a cigarette on you? I get these excruciating headaches if I don't have a smoke when I wake up.”<br/><br/>Still too tired to talk, Katashi gave a nod, and rummaged through his bag, and pulled out a box of cigarettes, and a pack of matches, and handed them down the row.<br/><br/>“Well look at that.” said the man happily. “They made us give up ours this morning, something about it being hazardous. I guess the rumours where true. You folks in Papua City really were living in the lap of luxury.” <br/><br/>A hearty laugh filled the front end of the truck, rivaling the banter coming from the younger soldiers in the back. Katashi simply joined in the laughter, until he noticed everyone, not just the man who had asked, were helping themselves to his cigarettes. By the time the box made it's way back to him, there was only one and a half left. With a frown, he took the last full cigarette, and stuffed the broken one into his front pocket, deciding it was better to join in and not complain. After all, these men were going to be his new comrades. The company in the back definitely made the second half of the journey better for Katashi, and before he even knew it, they reached their destination. <br/><br/>Stepping down and out of the truck, Katashi was immediately herded to the front of the camp with everyone else. To the right of the entrance was a wooden board with the camps name scrawled across it in black paint. <br/><br/>“Heisha Shi”<br/><br/>Katashi gave the name an extra long look, puzzling at the way it was written. Instead of being written entirely in Kanji, like it normally would be, the “shi” was left in Hirigana. Looking to his left, Katashi noticed that the man who he had been sitting across from the entire trip, Tsuruya, was also puzzling over this oddity.<br/><br/>“It's weird.” said Katashi in a low voice. “Why purposefully write it out as shi? Do you think it's a scare tactic of Camp 4? Or do you think it means this might be... THAT kind of camp?”<br/><br/>Tsuruya stood there, hand to the beard on his chin, mulling over the sign in silence. Katashi tried repeating his question, but Tsuruya showed no indication that he was listening. Figuring it was best to let it go, Katashi went and joined the rest of the crowd, just as a man stepped of from behind the wooden gate.<br/><br/>“How many of you are ready?” the man asked, much to the confusion of the crowd in front of him. Of course, nobody answered. “I said, how many of you are ready?” Again, silence. Katashi noticed the grave look on the mans face, and spoke up, just before the man could. <br/><br/>“I'm sorry, sir, but... Are we ready for what?”<br/><br/>Smirking, the man held a hound out. “What's your name, soldier?”<br/><br/>“Minobe, sir. Minobe Katashi.” came Katashi's flustered and curt reply.<br/><br/>“Well, Minobe. The thing about this camp is once you agree to enter, you have to stay. You are put on a blacklist, unable to be moved around, and unable to leave. If you agree to join, then you're no longer a normal Kempeitai member. You become an elite.” Looking over the crowd with their confused looks, the officer grew more annoyed. “All of this, I assume, was not told to you when you enlisted?”<br/><br/>“Well sir.” replied Katashi once more. “We didn't sign up. We were just told we were being shipped off up here because of our skill and experience.”<br/><br/>The speed at which the officers hand connected to his face had to be record breaking, Katashi thought.<br/><br/>“Well. As was said. This camp is only meant for the most elite and trustworthy out there. I asume the rest of the details got lost down the chain, and your local commanders instead sent who they believed to be the best. Is that correct?”<br/><br/>The collective nod that followed the officers question is what he feared. Not a soul here had any clue what they were about to get into.<br/><br/>“Minobe” barked the officer. “Do you swear upon entering this camp, that you will not request to leave. That you will always work to the best of your ability, and that you will not share the secrets inside of these walls with anybody outside?”<br/><br/>Katashi, flustered by the sudden assault of questions, agreed absentmindedly, as he slowly repeated what was said to him in the back of his mind.<br/><br/>“Very good. Now, if you would please enter, we can get started.”<br/><br/>As he made his way behind the wooden gate, he found himself immediately being grabbed by a couple men, and led into a tent. They told him to remove his shirt, and to lean over a stool. When he stood there dumbstruck, they took it into their own hands, ripping his shirt off his back, and forcing him over the stool. They then handed him a black of wood, and told him to bite down on it hard. Now in a bit of a panic, he did as they said, just as he saw the reason why. Another man walked in with a hot branding iron, emblazoned with a modified Kempeitai symbol. <br/><br/>“As soon as this mark is on your flesh, it is a constant reminder that there is no going back, and a permanent brand of your service to the Emperor. Under the protection of the Kempeitai, and the Emperor himself, we will succeed where our predecessor, Unit 731, couldn't. Welcome to Camp 4, Sargent... Minobe.”<br/><br/>As Tsuruya shook the officer's hand outside the gate, all anybody heard was the pained scream of Katashi from within. Tsuruya instantly tried to pull his hand away, but the officer's grip tightened.<br/><br/>“With that, you have all officially been enlisted into this camp. Remember what I said. No going back. You're one of us, now.”</div>"

On the unprotected highways the dirt and gravel of the sandy clay-packed roads lifted and turned to mud, washing alongside the car as it cut through the storms that rolled across the Ethiopian highlands. Hills washed into farm-filled valleys and where shallow holes had lay unattended to there now lay in wait ponds the size of lakes that broke the travel.<br/><br/>If it could be taken, they would drive around. The single-speed whipper blades of the ancient vehicle desperately washing away the solid walls of water through the constant heavy rains that pounded the high-country in summer. It slowed travel, and to make matters worse the truck could only travel a steady pace of forty miles an hour in good conditions. And the back-country, and the highland summer monsoons only worsened it. At times, Sen Zhou would pull the car over and let the rain fall, waiting for it to break and give them visibility and time for the water and mud to drain away so she can claim a few last hours of driving.<br/><br/>The room in the cab was tight. Zhou, Yu, and Jong sat uncomfortably tight with the young Ethiopian student. It had been a battle among them, even starting out to determine who would be where and was the cause of much suffering and shuffling until they had got it almost right.<br/><br/>Zhou, having had enough driving the newly purchased and slap-dashed maintained truck had no intention at first to drive it to Lake Tana. She had sat packed in just behind the gear lever, and by position shifted the truck through it three gears as they climbed the hills. The mechanics in the airfield had managed to tighten it, and it no longer needed a mile of space to do its job.<br/><br/>But Yu – who was driving – turned out to be a sloppy driver and nearly caused an accident with a mule cart on the way out of town. Shuffling him to Zhou's position very nearly gave the small crew a lesson in the effects of motion-sickness and it was hardly a block out of the capital they again changed positions, putting him at the passenger window.<br/><br/>The Ethiopian student soon came to occupy his seat, and soon himself needed to move. Unrelaxed and tense – or so he claimed – his hands had a tendency to wander and Zhou had on more than one occasion force him to move his hands from her leg. He obliged sheepishly, but as soon as they hit a pothole they would be back, and the story continued. He switched with Jong, who though being such a wide young man forced Zhou nearly against the driver's side window. But it was the closest they came to perfection, given the cards they were offered.<br/><br/>The cabin was sweaty and hot, a stifling humidity hung in the air even despite the heavy rains. Cracking the windows helped only a little by circulating the air but did nothing to keep heavy rains from not coming into the car. Matters were made worse when Yu went to lit up for a cigarette, and the dry, ashen bitterness soon filled the cabin. Rain or not, Zhou ordered him to put it out or step outside before everyone was asphyxiated by the cheap tobacco.<br/><br/>In the back a green tarpaulin covered the truck bed and fluttered in the wet wind, sending whirling whips of water when it rained behind them and flicking off residual water when it wasn't. Under, strapped secure to the bed were the basic supplies they imagined they needed where they were going. Guns, ammunition, food, and fuel. Dufflebags full of the soldier's personal gear also rode in the same mass of equipment. And underneath it in a locked steel boxes environmental suits packed in anticipation of the possibility of Spanish chemical use as they traveled close to the front of the war.<br/><br/>Before the party crossed over into the Amhara state, they stopped for lunch.<br/><br/>The gravel of the road cracked and popped as the tires rolled slow over the road and off to the side. The red-brown clay still glistened softly from persistent summer rains but was otherwise dry, and for the choice of time and place to stop the skies were blue and clear of clouds. The road as it were was empty and quiet as the four riders stepped out and groaning uncomfortably stretched their sore aching limbs as they looked about.<br/><br/>The highlands here dipped sharply into a deep wide gorge, flush with green from the rich summer-rains. Over the horizon the mountains and cliffs of the high plateaus of central Ethiopia sheered the Earth and rose into the blue sky, creating walls that ran infinitely into the rolling mountain labyrinths of the country-side. In the middle, an even deeper chasm was carved into the stone and the sounds of rushing water poured out from the rough serpentine course of the Blue Nile as it drew the provincial borders of inner Ethiopia.<br/><br/>As Yu and Jong began digging into the supplies for their cache of rice, Zhou walked up to the edge of the steep rounded drop to the river below.<br/><br/>Unlike its name, the Blue Nile did not run blue. It was full and brown of sand and sediment laden water that rolled over itself as it ran through its swollen banks. The summer rain had impregnated the river, and I t ran high enough to swallow and drown the misshapen bushes that had grown too close to the edge as it made its swift and violent course west and south.<br/><br/>A bridge crossed the gap, a spindly-framed wooden bridge supported by rough stone and concrete pylons whose advanced weathering looked ready to break the architecture. The bridge was not grand, nor was it modern. The wood was old and worn, clear tire-tracks run shallow groves across the boards from years of traffic and it looked ready to sway and dance in the wind. Further, it was narrow, maybe just big enough to except a large truck. Zhou's stomach ached and twisted in terrible horror as she looked at it, and she immediately worried about having to cross to the other side.<br/><br/>“As soon as we cross, we've only three-quarters of the journey ahead of us!” the student they had brought as a  guide to collect his family exclaimed in excitement.<br/><br/>Zhou turned sharply, catching up as he walked up to her. His wrapped tightly around his chest as he smiled nervously. He looked up at her, and then down at the ground. Raising his gaze to look across the river gorge, where mesa cliffs loomed over the crossing and where the road continued its meandering highland crawl between the banks of a tributary stream and a rocky cliff face.<br/><br/>The countryside was rich with trees and grasses, thick shrubs lined the river and the banks as much as they did the road. The air was rich with the whine of insects and the calls of birds. Somewhere in the distance Zhou thought she could hear the cackles of hyenas but dismissed it as a fantastical trick of the mind.<br/><br/>“Why are you in Addis Ababa and not with your kin?” asked Zhou, trying to broach friendly conversation. It didn't feel right with her and she regretted the decision outright. But she was too slow to retract the question as he answered anyways.<br/><br/>“To get an education!” he exclaimed with excitement, “There is nothing for me at home but to herd goats, and there is no better way to support my people.” he said this with a wide proud smile, “I am to become an engineer, if all things work out.”<br/><br/>There was a lost sense of hope in his tone of voice. One that wanted the future he desired for himself, but one that also admitted with regret that things were now complicated, to put it in the lesser of terms. Even Zhou was unsure if China would allow him to continue his  training in Chinese universities should he end up as a long term refugee if things went sour fast, and for a long time.<br/><br/>“But, what about you. Why are you so far away from your kin?” he asked.<br/><br/>Zhou didn't answer him. She wrapped he hands in front of her and continued to gaze down at the rain-swollen rapids below her. She couldn't claim to know much about Africa and its rivers. She knew hazily the Blue Nile would drain into the Nile somewhere, but didn't know where. She wasn't sure either if they would cross the Nile as they would the Blue Nile. It seemed to her to be something to expect. But she didn't want to answer his question. She responded with her own.<br/><br/>“What's ahead of us?” she asked flatly.<br/><br/>“Oh...” the deflated student responded, sheepishly. “More highlands.” he said, almost regret. He was deflated with his answer. “We'll come on the small town of Dejen soon after the bridge. If we keep up the pace we will be there by nightfall, this is all-to-slow going.”<br/><br/>“I can't help it.” Zhou said, “We can't help it.”<br/><br/>“I-I understand.” the student responded, worried. “There... There are Muslims who live in Dejen. Have you ever dealt with Muslims?” he asked this concerned, almost a little afraid. At asking the question he looked to almost want to hide.<br/><br/>“I have, a little.” Zhou answered. She recalled her tour through the Philippines and the Muslim villages on Mindanao's south-western coast, as well as trying to give them aid after what had been forced upon them when they arrived. Even then though, their relationship with them was tenuous. And while China had the Hui, she could not recall ever really interacting with them. She supposed in the end there would be nothing to worry about.<br/><br/>The student nodded cautiously.<br/><br/>From behind them the voice of Yu called out, “found the tea!”<br/><br/>“And the rice?” Zhou called back, turning on her heels.<br/><br/>“Still looking.” he shouted back.<br/><br/>“Perhaps I'll help.”  the young man said nervously, turning back to the truck.<br/><br/>Zhou acknowledged him with a impatient nod and turned back to the river. Being a little more alone now, she could begin to appreciate the awe and extremes of this country. She wondered just how the Spanish could seek to subjugate Ethiopia and began to doubt their mission plan.</div>"

He had fallen asleep in his office again. This wasn't an accident; he had a short table in the corner of his office cleared so he could place a blanket and a pillow on it. It was from this spartan bed that he woke.<br/><br/>The room was dark. Rain pattered faintly on the windows. His record player, an old machine that originally belonged to his mother, had finished it's record and was now playing a scratchy sound that blended in with the weather. Nothing in the room was illuminated, but he knew his way around, having no trouble finding the lamp on his desk. The room filled with a mellow and lonely light. <br/><br/>Early morning was the only time the Chairman could trust to be alone. He opened a drawer concealing a tea set and prepared a kettle. While he waited for the water to heat up, he did calisthenics in the middle of his office. Memories of his youth regularly visited him in these quiet morning hours. When he bent, moving the old age out of his limbs, his mind filled with images of bespectacled students in western suits gathered as Wen Chu spoke fiery words to them in the garden. Wen had been such a handsome man, with a way of speaking so full of purpose and surety, that people thought they may be watching a man becoming a God. There were posters in the city now, made by the overzealous party propagandists, that showed Hou speaking to smiling peasants while sun bursts blazed like a halo behind him. Hou thought himself a slow and intellectual speaker; no miracles accompanied him in his work. But when Wen had spoke, everything happening around him seemed to have meaning, and the sun bursts, even if they were not there in fact, were there there in the imaginations of his listeners. <br/><br/>The tea kettle whistled. He stood up and attended it, making a cup of loose-leaf tea for himself. His muscles ached from his light workout - a reminder of old age. The idea of retirement teased him more these days. Work was all he did. He read, dictated, wrote, and commanded. Sometimes he suspected no other national leader in world history ever worked as much as he, but when he thought these things he recognized it as poisonous pride, and felt ashamed at what was an ideological failure of thought. <br/><br/>The cause of his overwork sat in two piles on his desk. On the right side was his work; military reports, economic reports and requests, decisions from the National Congress, and the like. He did not mind those. His headache came from the personal letters and official complaints from his underlings intermixed in the same pile. At all levels there was friction, so much that Hou's deeply feared his death would lead to a civil war and the making of old comrades into warlords, destroying everything him and Wen had struggled to build. What Wen had died to build.<br/><br/>In the distance, the shrill electric squeal of a woman's voice played over the street speakers and overcame the soft rain sounds. It was time for China to wake up. Hou put his cup down, put a record on the scratching player, and waited until the music started. It was an opera; an ungodly long opera that wouldn't be half-way done until afternoon. That would do. Now it was time to work.<br/><br/>Whereas the heaping pile on the right side of his desk was work, the smaller one on the left side was study. Marxism is the science of socialism, and every good scientist must keep up with the progress of their field. He preferred study to leadership. It was his habit to put the most unpleasant bit of scholarship on top - usually a Bolshevik denunciation of Chinese Communism as dressed up liberal trade-unionism, seeing as those were so common. Unpleasant play made work tolerable.<br/><br/>His tea tasted bitter, just how he liked it. Bitter tea made him feel alive.<br/><br/>There were petitions from the peasants of Henan about a local party official making himself fat off of their work. There was a spicy conflict in Sichuan between two party officials using their offices to battle each other over a woman; an actress who seemed to be playing them against each other for money. Of course, not every piece of intestine discord was so scandalous. Peasant petitions made the lot of them. But he had to treat each one diplomatically, no matter how strong his opinion was. He had no illusions about his power; he held on because of the oriental reverence his people held for their political elders. To stoop to their level would be to ruin that illusion. Each problem had to be handled with the patience of a Buddha, and he was no Buddha, so that meant agonizing over each word of his reply to create the effect of wisdom.<br/><br/>If only he was like Buddha, moving through a problem with wisdom so naturally it seemed it had been whispered to him by the air. Or did wise men spend their days agonizing over small problems, the final idea the soft puff of visible steam created by the grinding of hidden gears of their mental agony?<br/><br/>The sun was up by the time he was done with political matters, and a simple breakfast of noodles and lamb was brought up for him. He had a meeting soon, with the young African prince who's rebellious people put China in the precarious spot of hosting a leading member of a faction in a foreign civil war.<br/><br/>That reminded Hou of a piece of work the young African had done as part of his Chinese education; a reflection on Communism, from his perspective at least. Hou had read it several times, and wrote notes in the margin as he often did. In truth, it was poor academics. The young man showed a capacity for the western essay form, but his understanding of the Marxian science was weak. Hou supposed that was to be expected in a feudal monarch; he was well behind the times, dialectically speaking.<br/><br/>But there was a strength of youthful conviction in the man that reminded Hou of better times in his own life, when Hou's bureaucratic communism had instead been Wen Chu's communism of young men venting their hearts. This African prince was no Communist, but perhaps a reformer would do. Every revolution starts with well-meaning reformers, often with incomplete ideologies. <br/><br/>Outside his door was the sniping world of revolutionary politics. But beyond that was a world which the waning youth in Hou yearned to see improved. He went to his closet, put on new clothes, and went out to meet the day.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------<br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Summer 1979: Berlin, Germany</span></span><br/>--------------------------------------------<br/><br/>""The hundred and fifth concurrence of the drunkard's parliament comes to orders."" Bulow said slowly, careful to not slur his words. <br/><br/>Everyone laughed. They were all in the mood for laughing. But nobody roared louder than the Kaiser: Friedrich IV. Here though, presiding over the drunkard's parliament, the Kais insisted everyone call him ""Welpe: Kaiser aus der Rinne"", or ""Kaiser Welpe"" for short. When everyone got enough drink in them, his foolish nickname became something like ""Wep.""<br/><br/>They took one big bench in the center of the Biergarten, letting citizens of Berlin watch their reverie, and participate sometimes, if it were a witty man or an attractive woman. Beer and wine flowed from the nearby restaurants, and to keep the men drinking, wursts were served in heaping piles of salty sauerkraut served fresh from barrels. Friedrich... or Welpe, as they called him, could down wursts by the handful and still find room for more. He was a big man in many ways; a near giant in height, towering above his friends and comrades; a booming talker, with a voice that carried like the word of an ancient god; and he had a bushy blonde beard, forked like the tines of an inverse solar crown, dripping with beer and brine. <br/><br/>Bulow, the secretary of their little parliament, had been a foreman in the same construction crew as his new Kaiser, before the ancient crown of Prussia found the latter and lifted him from his jackhammer. Bulow was a wiry man whose face went as red as a plum as soon as he had a beer in him. His dark hair, fading to grey and retreating form the back of his scalp, hung down like the matted fur of some animal, soaked with grease and sweat. <br/><br/>""First order of business, Von Kluck wishes to organize... a hunt! In honor of the esteemed Kaiser aus der Rinne.""<br/><br/>Friedrich stood up to address his parliament. ""Your Kaiser would love to hunt. But he must state that, for the record, Von Kluck couldn't catch a fart with his ass cheeks, so we do not expect him to bring us a kill."" He roared, and so did his court. Even Feingold, a Jew who would never have been welcomed by this group if his conversation didn't entertain their Kaiser, and who was most of the time content to sit in the corner, hold his title of ""Treasurer of the Bankruptcy"" in the Drunkard's Parliament, and sip his beer in peace.<br/><br/>They went back to murmuring their jokes, laughter washing over them from time to time like tidal waves. The sun went down, and a pleasant summer twilight overcame the scene as the lights went on and musicians wandered in from the streets to busk the dinner crowd. They were beginning to sing a drinking song, and everyone in the beer garden joined in, but before they got to the chorus, a sound shut everybody down.<br/><br/>It was gunfire. One shot, and then two.<br/><br/>The Kaiser's bodyguards seemed to materialize from nowhere, sweeping him away from the Biergarten as chaos ensued and everybody ran.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>""It is not safe to go in public.""<br/><br/>Schimmel said this quietly in the hall of city palace, though there was nobody there to listen. Schimmel was a wary man who stood hunched over all the time and was a known chain smoker. He smelled like stale cigarettes by afternoon.<br/><br/>""Do not be ridiculous, Schimmel. This is my city and I can go where I like."" Friedrich replied. Schimmel, like so many others, required Friedrich to look down on him to talk.<br/><br/>""A newspaperman was murdered by Houists. That is what the fuss was about. You must understand, my Kaiser, that these are difficult times for the world, and violent men prowl the streets.""<br/><br/>""Then I will meet them head on."" Friedrich puffed up. In the back of his mind, he felt his masculinity was being insulted. He had fought greater men then the bookish types Houists usually were. ""I will break these men like twigs over my knee, and we will see how much of a problem Houism is.""<br/><br/>""I cannot force you."" Schimmel put up his hands. ""But I cannot force the State Intelligence Bureau either. If they think you are a suicidal man, they will not back you with their resources. You cannot expect them to protect your family as they do, if you will not let them protect you. The safety of you and your family would be kaputt.""<br/><br/>""Kaputt."" Friedrich mimicked. He stroked his beard and thought. He could fight for himself, but his children were not old enough to defend themselves..."" <br/><br/>""Yes."" he said, thinking. ""I do not like being cooped up in the house.""<br/><br/>""Then build a new Biergarten."" Schimmel suggested. ""One that can be defended.""<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>Thus came about his new project, which he dubbed the ""KaiserbierSchloß"". They built him a great stone enclosure, like the yard of a prison, girded in steel and cement. The walls were then decked in stone until they looked like an ancient castle, old and ruined on the outside, but alive on the inside. Where barracks might usually stand, he built a restaurant and staffed it with personnel suited for the task. The stone walls were manned by snipers, and to hide them from the sight of the courtyard, a line of plants were suspended in baskets in the air, their vines running down along the edges. The finished touch was a fountain that ran with wine in the center of it all.<br/><br/>It took months to build. It was his pride and joy. And when it was done, he wanted nothing more than to show it off.<br/><br/>""Your friends cannot come."" he was told, to his disappointment. ""They are poor and cannot be cleared. Plus there are... unsavory elements in that bunch. Did you know the Houist murderers were Jews?""<br/><br/>The proud giant raged. ""I built this great project, and now I cannot man it? How foolish will I look, sipping my beer alone! Can the Kaiser not have his parliament?"" <br/><br/>""Until our concerns blow over. That will be our agreement. Maybe the terrorists were a one-time problem. Until then, maybe it is not a bad idea to give the new employees of the KaiserbierSchloß some time to serve one man and get used to their new habitat.""<br/><br/>He wanted to throw the fresh barrels, and break them against the walls, to watch the dripping sauerkraut run down along the cobblestone floor and fester there. But he didn't. He was a Kaiser now. Iron responsibility required an iron will. He got a beer, sat on a bench alone, and listened to the burbling of his wine fountain. <br/><br/>Perhaps, he thought, he could take up reading. He hadn't been in government long, but the intimate knowledge his advisors had of things he hardly understood made him feel like a child being led around by battling adults. He'd read a few books in his time, but he was a slow reader. Not that reading was hard... it was just boring, and there were always places he preferred to be.<br/><br/>He poked at the foaming head on his stein, thinking of times he had crashed steins with other men and spilled brew with the force of his arm. ""It is lonely at the top."" he muttered.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>That was his afternoon, day after day. He tried to read, but always got distracted. Schimmel began to join him, using the time to explain state issues. Schimmel wasn't a great drinker, though he would nurse a beer for his boss's sake. The company was better than loneliness though. He got to know his advisor. The little man was a grandfather, which blew the Kaiser's mind, as he looked much too young. They talked of Poland's Slavic Imperialism, and the duel threats of Communism and Spanish Hegemonic Capitalism. <br/><br/>Soon they invited Mueller, commander of the Kaiser's SiB attachment. The man was military stoic, and hadn't ever interested the Kaiser much, until he discovered that getting a few drinks in the man purchased some truly enthralling war stories. The threesome spent most afternoons together after a while, and when the summer nights came on, the three would wile away the nights swapping tales. Mueller claimed to have seen Ras Hassan, the infamous African bush commander, during the German intervention in the African war. Schimmel admitted to have read most of Hou's works. Knowing the enemy was part of his job. But he had gotten to respect the man a little, and he was able to explain Cultural Relativism as Revolutionary policy. Friedrich's stories were very different, more about life among the working classes, but he felt a little pride when the two intellectuals listened to his stories with sincere interest.<br/><br/>Summer turned to fall. The Houist threat subsided. <br/><br/>It was not long before Mueller decided to allow invitations to the KaiserbierSchloß. In came red-faced Bulow, and Von Kluck, and even the Jew Feingold, though that required some prodding. The Drunken Parliament was reestablished, with new members now. Mueller became ""Unintelligence Commander"", and Schimmel ""Theoretician of the Length of Hou Sai Tang's Penis"". They accepted it, and though neither men were avid partiers, they became regular members of the Kaiser's inner circle, and it was no longer so lonely at the top.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------------------<br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Late July, 1980: Somewhere in the sky...</span></span><br/>---------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>This dishonesty of libido repulsed Prime Minister Alfonso Sotelo of Spain. After he went a while without a woman he would lust after one, but the moment he finished inside her she became another sack of flesh. Women were like that, soft and fatty, unless they were emaciated like some Berber tribal and therefore disgusting even when he was libidinous. A normal woman, went she bent, would show unflattering rolls of fat somewhere, whether it was her belly or her ass, and it always made him sick to see.<br/><br/>This was true for Alejandra Boveda, the scion of a wealthy Galacian family, who's money had put her into movies. She mostly starred in the droning religious kind, as a nun, or a prostitute who becomes a nun. The Church loved to fund these movies and show them in free-of-charge religious theatres across the country. She was a thin and titless redhead, but half his age and therefore still in possession of feminine skin. When he finished inside her, he crawled off and stumbled for his desk, sniffed, and shakily opened the drawer where he kept his cocaine. <br/><br/>She sat up in bed and bent forward. Even as thin as she was, her stomach made rolls, and Sotelo was repulsed. <br/><br/>""Can I have some?"" she said, tapping at her nose. He did a line, quite violently even for him, and handed her some on a square brown 100 peseta note. She sniffed with less violence than he had, but there was nothing feminine or dainty about holding something to your nose and snorting.<br/><br/>He pretended she wasn't there. The nice thing about her was that she didn't care. She lit a cigarette and said nothing. A mutual disinterest kept her in his address book.<br/><br/>His head threatened to pound again. A headache had put him in bed for several days before they got aboard the Zepelin <span class=""bb-i"">El Ponderoso</span>. Outside his personal cabin, wealthy patrons who had paid dearly to join him on this flight enjoyed tapas in a genteel dining hall while respectable music was played by a live band. He was afraid the pressure of visiting with them would bring back his torturous headaches, but he could not avoid his job.<br/><br/>Politics at the top was not what it seemed. He looked back on his past, on the legal internship he had nearly lost when he punched one of the partners on the jaw. That had been easy to come back from. If he were to do the same thing now, he would fall as sure as if this Zepelín were hit by a rocket.<br/><br/>The sniff barely gave him a buzz anymore. That fact was one of the few things in his life that had ever made him feel anything like sadness. But he didn't understand the feeling, making it manifest in him as a sore kind of frustration. <br/><br/>""Put some clothes on."" he said in an affectless tone. The young actress stopped, put her cigarette down, and slipped a cocktail dress on. He noted that she hadn't bothered to clean up, and the smoke was back in her mouth as quick as a blink.<br/><br/>He picked up a neat stack of paperwork and flipped through it mechanically. He had read it all so much that he felt he had it comfortably memorized. Several important bills were going through Parliament, and he wanted to understand them as if they were his own thoughts. They already were. He knew he had no more need to read them. But he liked this part of the job, and tried to use it to avoid... out there.<br/><br/>""I will go out first."" he said, pocketing some sniff, knowing he wouldn't use it in front of the others, but wanting to have it on him anyway. ""Wait thirty minutes, and then come out.""<br/><br/>She said nothing. He got dressed in an unworn suit from the closet, straightened himself in the mirror, summoned a personable face, and walked out the door.<br/><br/>Spanish upper society was going through a black and white period in fashion that made women look like they had melted down chess boards for their clothing and put more white in men's clothes than Sotelo would prefer. They were out on the floor, eating olives, bread, and thin slices of sausage, wine close to them at all time as they mingled. There was a military presentation taking place near the band stand, complete with a projector. It showed the image of a thin Zepelín carrying a long pan.<br/><br/>""...the money you have provided will help field twenty of these vessels for patrols out of Djibouti."" an aging officer said, dressed in a sharp uniform. ""These platforms will allow snipers a view nearer to the ground, where they can spot and take out the desert barbarians that plague our supply lines in the Danakil. Since the maintenance of supply lines promises to be a constant threat..."" his eyes caught Sotelo. Shit. ""Well, here is our Prime Minister. I believe he has a few things to say about the subject.""<br/><br/>Applause. Shit. Coward was not comfortable with the limelight, and he threw it to Sotelo like a Marshal throwing his baton and fleeing the battle. Sotelo put on his most politically facile smile.<br/><br/>""Thanks"" he said to the polite applause. He sniffed lightly. ""I would ask Don Castor, the President of <span class=""bb-i"">Buenas-Armas de Bilbao</span>, to explain this plan that his engineers have presented to us."" he said, motioning to a man so old he looked like a cross between a turnip and a burn-victim. The man only seemed to vaguely acknowledge that he had been mentioned. ""But if I did that, the coming and going might never stop. I think I can explain the important details of this vessel.""<br/><br/>""Why not use airplanes?"" asked a vapid looking housewife attached to the arm of an infamous Carlist. <br/><br/>""We have been doing this thus far, but it is neither tactically practical nor cost effective. The use of our precious air power and oil to hunt down what, as the brave colonel mentioned earlier, are essentially barbarians seems impractical. The people in that desert are basically camel herders who shoot anything they see. We cannot allow them to harass our roads in the Danakil, but to sending high-speed vehicles to burn through oil and bullets in order to strafe these barbarians... it simply won't do. Africa is a wild continent. The use of these aerial platforms, on top of being less resource heavy, allows our soldiers to find enemy combatants from a great height and attack them. It's like a portable high ground...""<br/><br/>The crowd was already losing interest, and went back to mingling. He sniffed. ""With these in the air, the occupation of enemy territory in Africa will be easier to manage. The government thanks you for your contributions. Viva España."" They returned the salute, and the music started up again, playing a gentle quintet. He went to the viewing deck and stared hazily down at the ocean below the clouds. A waitress delivered him glass of amber orujo. He hadn't asked for it, but he welcomed it all the same. <br/><br/>""You have been scarce, senor."" the speaker came from behind, but Sotelo knew that fatty voice to be that of Xavier Maria Royas, the bishop of Getafe. He was dressed a priest's frock, but the designer watch on his corpulent wrist hinted at the massive wealth the Bishop was infamous for. Wealth was well respected in Spain, but the greed of individual clergymen chafed with the traditional image of what the Church was supposed. <br/><br/>""I have headaches. They have been a constant problem for me since I was a boy."" Sotelo said blandly. Of course, it was more than that. His headaches altered him. There was no doubting that, though no doctor said it out right. That much pain had to leave lasting changes.<br/><br/>""All suffering is the lord's will, and we all suffer our own pains."" said a bishop who spend a life fleeing anything to do with pain. <br/><br/>After his violent run in as an intern in his early career, Sotelo had invented a new way to handle his feelings toward others. For several years he kept a journal, where he wrote the names of colleagues he particularly disliked, and he jotted down all the ways he imagined they could die. Violence, disease, acts of God, anything creative enough to sooth him. When he realized that the discovery of such a book could compromise him, and that there was always a danger that it could be discovered and leaked, he burned the book over his open toilet and flushed the ashes. The lack of the compendium did not alter his ability to imagine things though. The Bishop's labored breathing annoyed him, and he imagined himself sewing the man's mouth shut, with blood running from the holes made by the needle, and the muffled screams from the panicking prelate as he slowly suffocated.<br/><br/>""You should tell the socialists that, your excellency."" Sotelo said. ""They are the ones so obsessed with forcing the fortunate to take away all their pain, at gun point no less.""<br/><br/>""This war will be a lesson to them."" the Bishop said approvingly. <br/><br/>Sotelo forced a smile. ""Excuse me."" he said politely, slipping away. On his way to the bathroom he saw Alejandra leaving his room. They didn't make eye contact.<br/><br/>""Prime Minister."" a man walked in front of him and blocked his path. It was Tiburcio de Espejo, the President of <span class=""bb-i"">Mejores-Armas</span>. ""I am glad your government could make money for my competitor, but now I am thinking, where are my government contracts?""<br/><br/>""You know I do not make those decisions, Don Tiburcio. You will have to speak with the war department.""<br/><br/>""Come on, Sotelo, do you think I am a fool? Power is power, and you have the power to effect things."" Tiburcio stood there, sort of glowering, a drink in hand. ""Do not think that light-armored cars is all we can afford you. With the right connections, we could produce any vehicle you want. All we need is the permit.""<br/><br/>""You are asking me to do your job for you."" Sotelo replied. ""I am not a telephone exchange for government officials. You will have to make those connections on your own."" He slid past before Tiburcio, putting his drink in the man's open hand, and went straight for the bathroom.<br/><br/>The urinal was a silver trough in front of which three people could stand shoulder to shoulder to empty their bladders. There was one toilet stall at the end, and a single sink with a mirror. Sotelo went for the sink. He fumbled, pulling some extra sniff from his pocket, pouring it in a line on his finger, holding it up to his nose, and snorting it. In the mirror he saw his nose go bright red. No blood. That was disappointing in a weird way. He wanted an excuse to stay in here, something to clean up. Now he was left staring at his own face listening to the sound of the band outside for what seemed like ten minutes. Then the band stopped. That had to mean something. He went back out.<br/><br/>""Prime Minister."" The officer from the presentation called out. ""Come look. We are there!""<br/><br/><a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4Sp0a8KYSw"" rel=""nofollow noopener"" target=""_blank"">recommended musics</a><br/><br/>The crowd moved around the viewing window with the scattered intelligence of ants. Some lingered and looked out; the men especially. Women took quick peeks and looked away. Others showed no interest at all and mingled in the background. Sotelo knew what to expect, and he began to smile as he walked toward the scene with the airs of a conqueror. Without looking at her, he gently retrieved a glass of wine from a waitress's tray. They let him through, and they gave him looks. Some grinned, or winced, or looked blandly at their Prime Minister. He didn't pay attention. When he was face-to-face with the glass, he looked out and took a drink.<br/><br/>The sky was a hazy blue, like a beautiful day in an industrial park, but the desert below was bright, getting swallowed by the haze somewhere in the far-away foothills. Airplanes patrolled the skies. To their side, they could see a sea full of long grey ships. In the middle of all that, directly below them and stretching for several miles, was him the ruins of Djibouti. It bubbled black and ugly below, a smoking backdrop for a Hieronymus Bosch vision of perdition. A scene that <span class=""bb-i"">he</span> had painted on the world. Ruined concrete, the skeletons of mosques, a black tar of a landscape covering who knew how many bodies, pock marks from bombs and splotches of oil in the water. Military camps skirted the disaster of a city. He had done it all. His word had made this place. It took him away from his annoying company and made him feel mercifully alone.<br/><br/>He felt at peace. <br/></div>"

A shadowy ghost simply waiting for the reaping of young souls. It's been almost fifty-five years since the closing of the last Great War. A conflict that bruised Europe, both physically and spiritually. No great changes come, and the ineptness of the governments in achieving any one goal through the conflict was a great moment of questioning.<br/><br/>And as Europe stewed and picked itself up, the rest of the world rose. Asia. Africa. New contenders that have a chance in challenging the European hegemony. A new war is only inevitable, though the hopeful would retrospectively chime the Great War was the last true war the world would ever fight.<br/><br/>But they should know better. Through the last decade the ambitions of rising states have marched the old world or each other off the map. Empire have fallen, with new ones rising to take their place. And the old ideologies are to clash with the new ideologies. The Great War had not satisfied the specter, and he hangs in the shadows grinning.<br/><br/>There is a great reaping to come.<br/><br/>Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Precipice of War. An RP that has been running for three years. An RP that has called up to three forums now its home. And those who take part of it have become part of its brand. Precipicers. Precipricks.

The story of Precipice has been deemed to carry on to its end, and many of us have contributed to it for long enough to have value in it; we now hope you will be a part of it.<br/><br/>As you will notice when the IC rolls is that the RP does not treat nations as a single entity, where all posts are written from the perspective of the state and actions written like a summary of current news events. Nations are treated as a collection of individuals and they are played that way, with any character we can produce being not only a piece but a means of exploring the world, our lore, and the society and greater story.

<br/><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/NVqAhVm.png""/><br/><br/>AFRICA<br/><br/>1: Pan African Empire/Ethiopia<br/><br/>The death of Emperor Menelik II in 1913 brought upheaval to the ancient east African mountain kingdom. Menelik has seen the country into the modern world, fighting off Italian invaders at the legendary Battle of Adwa and allowing western technology to seep into Ethiopian life. Iyasu was not his patrilineal heir, but the aging emperor did not like his closest heirs so instead he designated the second son of his eldest daughter to succeed him.<br/><br/>But the young Emperor-to-be was not popular. Rumors spread that the arrogant young man disrespected God by smoking in church, and that he was not morally correct enough to rule. Even after Menelik's death, the nobles did what they could to stave off a coronation. Iyasu was not popular with the establishment, shirking his responsibilities and antagonizing those he did not like. Rumors spread that he had converted to Islam. Rebellion began to ferment. It looked as if his reign would soon end, until the Germans arrived.<br/><br/>The Great World War had taken seed in Europe, and the Germans wanted an ally in Africa to help bring chaos to the colonies of France and Britain. Iyasu accepted the alliance, and with it came German advisers and weapons.<br/><br/>But the rebellion sparked none the less, and at the battle of Segale, Iyasu's father Mikeal of Wollo brought the German weapons to bear against their enemies, scattering them and cementing Iyasu's reign.<br/><br/>Iyasu' government made common interest with the remnants of the Dervish state of Somalia and used this alliance to seize the British and French colonies there, bringing Somalia into the fold. French Djibouti was soon thereafter taken. Helping the German Lt. Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the Ethiopian-Somali forces captured Kenya and and Uganda. By 1920, the war in Europe had become a post-apocalyptic affair, and support for the Africans waned. The Ethiopian invasion of Sudan would be against pro-British natives rather than the British themselves. Still, the Ethiopians now lacked the support they had in the early war, and they had trouble financing the campaign.<br/><br/>In 1925, the Great War finally ended. Western Europe was devastated, and its colonies began to sue for increased autonomy. The seeds of rebellion had been planted in Belgian Congo, who lacked the resources to keep it in check. Power was handed to certain factions among the Askari, who used the cruelest methods they could find to keep this new found power. In the peace, Ethiopia gained Kenya, Uganda, and Somalia - lands that were handed over because their colonial mother nations acknowledged they could not defend them.<br/><br/>In the 1940's, sympathetic members of the Askari in the Congo rebelled, asking for more pay and better treatment for their families. The sudden shift in authoritative power caused tribal rebellions to spring up all through the center of the country. Members of the Pro-Belgian faction in the Askari responded by imprisoning the families of their comrades. The war escalated.<br/><br/>Iyasu admitted to his Islamic beliefs soon after, and he made attempts to replace the entrenched Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Rebellions were frequent during his reign, and he began to rely more on the Somali part of his realm. Modernization continued under his reign, as electricity and plumbing brought Ethiopia into a world of modern convenience. By his death in 1959, Iyasu had turned Ethiopia into a meaningful regional power.<br/><br/>His son Yohannes succeeded him. Yohannes had spent his youth traveling with German school companions, where he took an interest in anti-colonial politics. Europe, focused on rebuilding, lacked the ability to care for their African holdings, and the people suffered as a result. Yohannes secretly funneled weapons and money to anti-colonial rebels. He has used his own money and influence to do this before, sending the young up-and-coming Somali-Arab officer Hassan Yusuf al-Soomaaliyeed to the Congo, who's family had been exiled from Hejaz in the 19th century and became Dervish nobility as a result. After the fall of Leopoldville in 1970, the Belgians sold the the Congo to Yohannes in exchange for promises that Belgian business could continue to opperate in Katanga. This embittered the Katangans, but the rest of the Congo accepted the deal, seeing it as a way out of the violence that had bloodied the region for nearly a century. The Congo was made a crown territory, but allowed to keep its own government. This government was plagued by a second rebellion in its northern provinces, but the fighting quickly ended.<br/><br/>When the Ottomans decided to annex Egypt, Ethiopia made a deal with them to join the war in exchange for the Sudanese lands they had failed to take during the Great War. Shortly after, A similar joint annexation of Arabia happened alongside Persia, through which Ethiopia gained possession of Hejaz.<br/><br/>Emboldened by the successes of Ethiopian-supported rebels in South Africa, Yohannes made a speech attacking Europe for its history of abuses on the African continent. Many European politicians took this as evidence that Ethiopia was supporting the violent African revolts that were tying up their resources, and concern began to grown that Ethiopia could find itself at war. Yohannes contacted the anti-colonial but isolated Communist Chinese government, brokering a historical trade deal that would slowly trickle into a vague alliance. Yohannes's youngest son Yaqob was sent to be educated in a Chinese military school. The good faith was broken when Ethiopian agents, acting outside of the Emperor's knowledge, had government officials in rebelling Botswana killed, invading during the chaos that proceeded. The Botswanans held the Ethiopians back, but it damaged the relations between north and south.<br/><br/>In 1972, tragedy struck when Yohannes was assassinated during a new years speech in Addis Ababa. His murderers got away, and at first it was unclear who killed him and why. Soon enough, liberal activists campaigning for the end of tje all-powerful monarchy were blamed, and dissenting opinion was put down. Yohannes's son Sahle was put on the throne.<br/><br/>Sahle, a self-interested playboy, left government to his ministers. When riots broke out in protest of the harsh anti-liberal crackdown taking place all over the country, Sahle managed to broker a deal. The Congo, his crown territory, would be handed to a Belgian-Germany corporate rule, and resource rights in Sudan would be handed over to British oil interests. In exchange, they would finance further crackdowns. Nationalists shunned the ruling, seeing it as the end of the growing Ethiopian hegemony in Africa. Ras Hassan, the same Hassan that had went to the Congo on Yohannes's bidding before the later had been made Emperor, and who was now the commanding officer of the Ethiopian forces, led a coup. Failing to overthrow Sahle in one blow, they marched into the Congo to drive the Germans off.<br/><br/>Hassan declared Yaqob, the youngest son of Yohannes, as the rightful Emperor. The war was fought to a standstill until the Germans, who saw the war as more then they had bargained for, signed a truce and pulled out. Liberal rebels made an unlikely alliance with the nationalists, seeing Yaqob and his communist education as their surest bet, and Sahle's government was overthrown. Sahle was caught trying to flee the city wearing his mothers clothes. He was put in house arrest in the north of the country, on the shores of Lake Tana.<br/><br/>Yaqob reorganized the constitution, bringing the Congo under the national government for the first time. The first social programs were put in place, defending farmers and keeping outside forces from gouging prices. The Belgian interests in Katanga were nationalized, citing their attempt to re-insert themselves during the Civil War as having not been in good faith with their original agreement.<br/><br/>The jewel on Yaqob's enchanted early reign would be his successful bid to bring independence to the southern German colonies.<br/><br/>But the enchantment of his early reign ended when Katanga, seeing themselves as having been continually shorted by Ethiopian deals, gathered around an anarchist warlord and anti-belgian veteran Marcel Hondo-Demissie.<br/><br/>Demissie gained a reputation very quickly. He had been known throughout the Congo wars as an ingenius leader, drawing his enemies into traps by playing off of their general's assumptions. He had gained a new trait during the Katangan war, however - he had suddenly taken to wearing women's clothes and makeup, giving him the nickname ""The Rouge General."" His rebellion struck several blows to the Ethiopian government, and it made Yaqob slowly slip into paranoia and fear.<br/><br/>Even as the Katangan war raged on, a Spanish invasion to reinstall Sahle as Emperor was threatened. Sahle disappeared shortly after. Without their stooge, the Spanish invasion withered away. Soon after, however, an assassination attempt on Yaqob shattered his lung and put him in a coma. A life threatening infection caused him to sleep for two months.<br/><br/>In this time, Hassan went to work. Even as the Katangan rebellion began to falter with tribal leaders turning on the Rouge General. Hassan funneled the people of the largest rebel tribe into camps, where he began to starve them and mutilate their children. This caused an irreparable rift in the rebels, and their forces melted after a failed attempt to liberate the captives. Marcel was captured and committed suicide by slitting his own throat. The Katanga rebellion was over.<br/><br/>Yaqob woke up, but the scars from his wounds never truly healed - physical and emotional. An ugly, veiny scar dominated his chest and he had trouble breathing. Depression and paranoia caused him to become sullen.<br/><br/>As 1980 began, Ethiopia found itself tied into European affairs in a new way. A Turkish attack on the Ethiopian embassy in Armenia caused the African nation to go to war. The Ethiopian navy was sunk during the battle of the red sea, but Ottoman land forces did not manage to make headway. A surprise attack on Palestine was launched by Ras Hassan, who was presumed lost, leading the Ethiopian garrison in Hejaz and connection with Palestinian rebels. Over night, the Ottomans were forces to abandon the south an put their forces closer to Turkey. Ethiopian forces continued to fight alongside the Palestians until the conflict ended. <br/><br/>2: Confederation of Tanganyika and Mozambique<br/><br/>Became independent from Germany in 1976 in a deal between Ethiopia and Prussia. This state has remained an Ethiopian ally ever sense, and sent troops to fight alongside the Ethiopians during the Ottoman Crisis of early 1980. The Ethiopian military base on Pemba trains Confederated troops. There are Ethiopian advisors active in the country.<br/><br/>3: Liberia<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>4: Egypt<br/><br/>Ruled by a sultan until his overthrow during the 1970 Egyptian War with Ethiopia and the Ottoman Empire. Southern Egypt was put under the rule of Ethiopia, while the north was rule of the Ottoman Empire. The Egyptian Sultan fled and disappeared, his whereabouts unknown. Egypt became a loyal part of the Ottoman state and remained so as other provinces began to rebel and break off. The fall of the Ottoman Empire has left Libya's fate uncertain.<br/><br/>5: Libya<br/><br/>Originally owned by France, southern Libya has been ruled by the Ethiopian Empire since the end of the Great War. A chunk of the west was sold to the growing Spanish Empire, and the rest was sold to the Ottoman Empire, who bought it in an attempt to finance their aging nation with oil money. Libya became a loyal part of the Ottoman state and remained so as other provinces began to rebel and break off. The fall of the Ottoman Empire has left Libya's fate uncertain.<br/><br/>6: Angola<br/><br/>Became independent from Germany in 1976 in a deal between Ethiopia and Prussia. The Katangan Rebellion in Ethiopia caused bitterness between it and its southern neighbors, cooling relations between the two countries.<br/><br/>7: South Africa<br/><br/>British colony until the 1971 rebellion that brought them independence. The Ethiopian airforce was involved, helping the rebelling South Africans. As a show of good will after the failed Ethiopian invasion of Botswana made the southern African nations weary, the 1976 government of Yaqob II brought South African officials into Namibia. Namibia was annexed by South Africa. Relations between South Africa and Ethiopia have cooled.<br/><br/>8: Zambia<br/><br/>Became independent from Germany in 1976 in a deal between Ethiopia and Prussia. The Katangan Rebellion in Ethiopia caused bitterness between it and its southern neighbors, cooling the relations between these two countries. This was due in part to the large population of Bemba tribesmen from Zambia who participated with the rebels on the side of the Katangan rebels.<br/><br/>9: Botswana<br/><br/>Botswana fought a lasting rebellion against the loosely governed British colony. Ethiopian help sped the fall of the colonial government. The new government was assassinated en mass during their victory celebration, causing the collapse of the new government and provoking an Ethiopian invasion. The invasion was a failure, and the Ethiopians retreated. Botswana has since been affiliated with South Africa.<br/><br/>MIDDLE EAST<br/><br/><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/YziOOSd.png""/><br/><br/>Ottoman Empire:<br/><br/>The Ottoman Empire was on the verge of revival in the late 60's and early 70's, but its age caught up to itself and it began a gradual climb down as the decade moved on. By 1977, Armenia (the de facto leader and role model of the revolts to follow), Kurdistan, and Azerbaijan had become independent after several long-running conflicts went hot and the fatigued and ill-trained provincial armies were finally attacked for perceived injustices (discrimination and killings targeting race in an effort to suppress rebellion that ended up encouraging it.) After the Armenian advance to the border of their colonial province was finally stopped by a sudden surge of reservist troops, a three year standoff occurred while both countries mustered up resources for the final conflict. This put a drain on other theaters, however, and allowed more insurgencies to crop up. At the same time, the Ottoman Empire's prestige and economy weakened massively and another war in Greece sapped men and supplies. The decline of the Empire - temporarily halted from the early 20th century - resumed at record pace.<br/><br/>From January to early April of 1980, the Armenians managed to reclaim their territories and push the Ottomans out of ethnic Armenia, while another major war in Ethiopia ate up men and materiel. Palestinian guerrillas cut supply lines and greatly weakened the Ottoman forces in the area, resulting in a military too stretched out to deal with the resulting crises. One by one, colonies in the Middle East took their chance and revolted. The provinces were liberated rapidly as Ottomans defected or deserted and lost their will to fight, while many more retreated back to Turkey proper in a command crisis (certain officers ordered their troops to withdraw to protect the home country independently when communications became disrupted and scattered.) In the wake of their collapse was left a volatile mix of unstable new nations - the Balkanization of the Mediterranean Middle East.<br/><br/>Azerbaijan:<br/><br/>Azerbaijan was invaded and occupied by Persia in 1978, shortly after Persian intervention in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict with Armenia and several flashpoints involving Persian diplomats and personnel. With a quick Persian invasion came diplomatic measures to either keep the state independent or to bring it closer to Persia: it has been granted a special status and is all but annexed. Anti-Armenian sentiment is still the norm in the country despite official efforts to change, and Persian military peacekeepers have more or less suppressed any sort of large conflict brewing with their neighbor.<br/><br/>Georgia:<br/><br/>Georgia is totally and completely collapsed. The stresses of invasion, revolution, and slowly-creeping instability from the north have culminated in a completely destroyed state. There is no government to speak of - or, rather, there are too many contested rulers to count. Warlordism in the norm in many regions of the area, with only certain cities retaining authority to become autonomous city-states. Georgia faces raiders from all directions save Armenia, where refugees consistently flee. In response, Armenian activities in the region have been dedicated to funding pro-Armenian warlords in the south to secure the border region and stop the instability from spreading any further. It is a contested region, with many groups of people vying for dominance. Plans have been brought up to deal with the situation, but none of them have been officially implemented.<br/><br/>Dagestan:<br/><br/>Dagestan became a haven for Muslims in the Caucasus during the Armenian War. On multiple occasions, they engaged in conflict with the Armenians such as during the 1978 Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict. Ottoman withdrawal essentially decimated the country and left it in a state of ruin, leading many to turn to crime. Bandit forays into Georgia contributed to the total collapse later that year. Many of these marauders are motivated by anti-Armenianism and engage in occasional skirmishes at border outposts.<br/><br/>Ossetia:<br/><br/>Formed from the ashes of the Russian state, Ossetia is the ethnic home of the Ossetians. Their position in the middle of two collapsed states has essentially rendered it third-world as well, and many turn to banditry like in Dagestan. Raiders frequently cross the porous border to Georgia to loot and kill.<br/><br/>Chechnya:<br/><br/>Chechnya is largely in the same boat as the other Russian territories: collapsed and riddled with warlords and crime. It is a particularly volatile region, holding both anti-Russian and anti-Armenian beliefs.<br/><br/>Volgograd Territories:<br/><br/>The Volgograd Territories are another attempt to create a stable state from Russia's ruins. It, too, is poor, weak, and ill-equipped. Starvation and crime is the norm, and while it remains in the control of a government it is turning slowly more authoritarian to counter the increasingly concerning anarchy.<br/><br/>Pontus:<br/><br/>Pontus is the home of the Pontic Greeks - another ethnicity massacred by the Ottomans. Their state is perilously close to Turkey proper, but the weakened state of the Empire meant that they could secure a turbulent independence with Armenian assistance.<br/><br/>Armenia:<br/><br/>Armenia is the nation that caused much of the initial chaos that led to the downfall of the Ottoman Empire. Beginning in the 1920s when it semi-separated alongside Georgia from the Ottoman Empire (via a diplomatic treaty meant to defuse a potential civil war and to satisfy the Armenians in the wake of terrible crises), it had been wracked by ethnic tensions with the Turks (starting from a series of ethnic massacres in 1895 and 1917, although not to the level of a genocide) and popular opinion in Turkey was to have the territories back. They existed in a state of relative uneasiness for the next few years, with Armenia remaining essentially in the Ottoman sphere of influence. The Ottomans intentionally tried to diminish Armenian progress by passing resolutions to limit trade and opportunities for reparation and expansion. Their main goal was to take back those territories that they felt they deserved, while the Armenians tried to maintain their independence. At the same time, animosity between both sides grew to the point of border skirmishes in the early 1960s. This brought the Sultan to a realization that he could use as a just cause to invade Armenia and Georgia again, and retake the colonies that the Ottoman Empire used to own. Preparations for this invasion were underway by 1969, and the Ottomans were waiting for their chance to strike.<br/><br/>In April of 1970, a militia sniper attack struck two Turkish soldiers dead as they patrolled a few kilometers inside the Armenian border. This gave Turkey the chance it needed: they mobilized a full military battlegroup to invade the country. Their reason was that Georgia and Armenia were not ""officially"" independent countries, and they were removing a rebellion that had taken place in there. The Turkish military quickly overpowered Armenia and overthrew the government, causing a surrender just weeks later. Georgia would surrender at a later date after propositioning Russia for help (they were unable to assist.) Armenia was now a part of the Ottomans again, and within a month more revolutionary elements were underway. The Armenian Revolutionary Front - an organization that fought for independence in the late 19th century and later became a minority ultranationalist political party in the Armenian Parliament - began to organize rallies and militias against the Turkish control. Their leaders were quickly hunted down and jailed (oftentimes executed) and the ARF was disbanded in 1971. It would be six years of occupation before the Armenian Separatist Front - a distinctly different element - became the new face of Armenian revolution. They formed in early 1977, under the leadership of Colonel Aramazd Marissian of the former Armenian Army.<br/><br/>The Armenian War - something that the Armenians claim had been fought in a low-intensity state since 1895 - ratcheted up in intensity that February after the ASF instituted a wave of attacks to bring themselves onto the center stage. Unfortunately, this had the effect of drawing Ottoman attention directly to their key leaders. Less than a week after the sudden, violent declaration of rebellion, Ottoman troops laid siege to the town of Nor Yerzenka where the ASF was headquartered. The early ASF - including Colonel Marissian - were slaughtered in their attempt to stand like a regular army. It is noted that Hasmik Assanian, the later leader of the ASF and first President of Armenia - as well as a former Ottoman Army Pathfinder NCO -, survived the battle and sneaked away to link up with Marissian's contacts in the Nagorno-Karabakh. Assanian hitched a ride to the southern mountains of that province to find a new headquarters in the town of Hadrut. From there, he organized effective resistance against the Ottoman regime. Shortly after the rout at Nor Yerzenka, a declaration of independence was broadcasted over the state-run radio channel (practically the only radio station in the occupied country), urging Armenians to join their cause.<br/><br/>Thousands of Armenians heard the call to arms, and appropriated themselves quickly. Assanian's ASF instituted a campaign of propaganda across the country, and numbers of angry young men turned out in droves - many because of the economic and political policies of the Ottoman state, while others because of their feelings to defend their civil rights as Armenians - to fight the Ottomans. The ASF's guerrillas struck hard and unpredictably against the unprepared Turks. Battles broke out against military and security forces in East Armenia, and within two months the Ottomans were unable to cope with the sudden revolt. Their new directive was to retreat and gather reinforcements in the West Armenian provinces and push back into the East. With the Turks on the run, Assanian declared formal independence on July 17th, 1977. Yet the battle was still not over. The Armenian claims to Greater Armenia were largely unfulfilled in the West, where Turkish forces were regrouping and rearming with fresh troops. The ASF's combat corps assimilated and reorganized into the new Armed Forces of Armenia and began their push westward. After several bloody battles, the Turkish stopped them at Erzurum and denied access to the coasts. With each side unable to progress, a stalemate had been reached. A DMZ was quickly declared, and each side dug in to prevent further territorial losses.<br/><br/>The next three years were characterized by stalemate and development. Eager to put men back to work to begin producing to become self-sufficient and to finish the job against the Ottomans, Armenia began negotiating aid from Persia and Poland - two close allies - to begin improving various facets of the country. A recovery administration began repairing and opening up factories - particularly in Hrazdan - and resource plants, while companies set up to begin the economy. The government maintained a close control over everything, slowly letting go as industries became stable and did not need further intervention. Foreign assistance contributed greatly, with Polish weapons and industrial equipment forming the bulk of Armenia's military and manufacturing sector, respectively. Persia contributed with infrastructure improvements, including funding and plans for an oil pipeline and highway running through the country. The thousands of unemployed Armenians and the incoming refugees from the Caucasus (mostly from failed states like Georgia and Russia) were put to work, while many were drafted for an approaching fight. Between the Armenian Revolution and the Offensive of 1980, economic growth soared. Politically, Assanian took hold as President of the interim economy stated to be replaced by a legitimately elected government by 1980. He ruled in a troika of sorts with his Defense Minister Jordan Ivakon and the Vice President Joseph Pollundrian. While a parliament does exist, it was largely ignored in favor of Assanian's emergency powers.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, a plan for victory was taking shape. In a move characteristic of the oftentimes scheming Assanian administration (in cooperation with Ethiopia), the Armenians launched a secretive black-ops false-flag attack against the Ethiopian embassy in Yerevan, blaming the Turks and effectively securing an ally for the war (the attack, made in secret agreement with the King of Ethiopia, changed their parliament's mind over intervention in the conflict.) The Offensive of 1980 broke days later when Armenian forces launched a surprise attack over the border. They hurled their entire military at the Turkish forces massed in their lands, and rushed through the demoralized and ill-prepared Turkish units. Within two weeks, they had reached the city of Erzurum where the Turks planned to repeat their tactics during the 1977 revolution: link up with reinforcements drawn from Syria and other territories. However, as other revolts became more pressing, those men would never be freed to arrive. A war with Ethiopia consumed necessary supplies in large numbers, as desperate Turkish troops became lost in the African deserts. The Turkish were largely routed in bloody engagements. Armenian momentum carried them to the border, where they chased the Turks into the Turkish state by mid-April. Only a week later, the Ottoman Empire formally imploded upon itself, and the peace treaties signed made it recognize the former states' independence. A decisive victory not only for Armenia, but for the rest of the Ottoman colonies. Now Armenia found itself at the cusp of a new era: the respected leader and role model of a new mix of volatile, rowdy, infant nations.<br/><br/>Greece:<br/><br/>Greece has always been at odds with the Ottoman Empire. Although it was declared independent in 1822, it had fallen again to resurgent conquering and colonialism in the 1960s and 70s. It, much like the other countries that had been under the boot of the Ottomans, held animosity towards them for stealing their independence and actively sought to rebel. Their conflict was comprised mostly of low-intensity operations until the mid-1970s, where revolution suddenly erupted and the Greeks fought to secure their home. Their lands, being perilously close to the Ottoman homeland and its capital of Istanbul, were heavily fought for by the Turks - perhaps more so than Armenia or other possessions. By 1977, zones of the country were independent but it was only until 1980 that full stability of the Grecian isles was secured. But they did not stop there: during the last days of the Ottoman Empire the Greeks crossed the Aegean to reclaim lands on the western coast of Turkey. This included the Straight of Dardanelles, even if the Bosporus remained under Turkish control. Despite the fact that the Greek homelands were now secure, revolutions in Pontus and Cyprus continued.<br/><br/>Cyprus:<br/><br/>Cyprus was another one of the first wave of independent countries, when its guerrillas fought off the Ottoman units on the island and managed to repel any further amphibious invasion (Ottoman troops were relatively inexperienced and untrained, being mostly a land force.) Using its newfound position, Cyprus's economy became based more on trade and banking than anything else. It maintains positive relations with Greece and Syria, as well as (also Christian) Armenia.<br/><br/>Syria:<br/><br/>Syria revolted in the mass uprisings of 1980, fighting to secure its independence. Their strategic position cut Ottoman forces in two, letting the southern units wither without a solid supply chain. After the collapse in late March, Syria became a new country comprising the Greater Syria area (excluding Palestine, a separate state founded by an independent liberation organization.)<br/><br/>Palestine:<br/><br/>Palestine was another one of the countries formed after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. They, despite being within Syria's area, managed to remain independent through fierce negotiations with the Syrian guerrillas. As a result, they are often incredibly tense and at-odds with their neighbor.<br/><br/>Iraq:<br/><br/>The Kingdom of Iraq, ruled by the Hashemites since the Arab rebellion, has served as somewhat of a buffer state between the Ottoman Empire and Persia ever since. A poor and mismanaged country despite its immense oil reserves, it has returned to the forefront since the early 70's with the resurgence of its two major neighbors. The first years of the decade saw the Ottoman Empire attempt to take over the country by encouraging the Kurds to rebel, only to have Persia, itself just recently out of its torpor, act decisively against these goals, guaranteeing the Iraqi state's sovereignty and extending citizenship rights to the Shi'a population. Since these events in 1971, the Ottoman Empire has receded from view, engaged in its own civil war, leaving Persia as the main partner of the country. It is slowly growing closer to its protector, both economically and culturally, gaining a bit from it's meteoric expansion, essentially becoming its client state.<br/><br/>Afghanistan:<br/><br/>Afghanistan, ever a complex case, remains what it always has been: a proud collection of fierce peoples. The king retains only as much power as the tribes leave him, keeping thanks to political shrewdness and his neighbor's benevolence the land together. Slowly but surely, modern life is installing itself in the city's biggest cities: Kabul, Kandahar, Herat... Keeping rather apart from the surrounding turbulence, it was however forcefully involved in the diplomatic game in 1976, when the UFI, a communist-backed movement, made great inroads in northern India, threatening to reunite the shattered peninsula under Beijing's terms. Persia, in order to intervene, needed access to Afghanistan's few but nevertheless vital highways, and a foothold in the country, which it gained only in exchange for a sizeable contribution to the state's coffers. Aside from that sudden awakening, Afghanistan lays dormant.<br/><br/>Pakistan:<br/><br/>Pakistan, as such,does not exist. Part of India until 1971, it has since the collapse of central authority been divided into petty states by warlords, religious leaders and adventurers. Only in October 1976, following the takeover of Bengal by the UFI, was order imposed once again upon the region by the persian military, who occupied the Indus river valley preventively, as UFI forces were nearing on Ahmedabad, in nearby Gujarat. Since the armistice in late 1977, it has been reintegrated into a federal Indian state, with wide autonomy for its constitutive regions, Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkwa.<br/><br/>Persia:<br/><br/>Persia: Persia has underwent quite a radical change in the past decade. After a period of intermittent upheaval in the two decades following the close of the Great War, in 1927, which nearly brought the monarchy to its knees, pitting it first against the communists, then against the various ethnic groups, and finally the most extreme religious figures, the country stagnated socially and politically under the reign of Fereydoun Shah Qajar, who lacked the will to contest the Anglo-Persian Oil Company's increasingly powerful grip on the nation. This period came to an end with the assassination of the sick Shah along with his presumptive heir on December 8th 1970 by Kurdish terrorists, secretly supported by the Shah's very own son, Ali Mohammad, convinced of the necessity of radical change.<br/><br/>Immediately following his accession to the throne, his elder brother Qoram having been excluded of the succession for his communist sympathies, the Shah announced sweeping reforms, the foremost being the organization of free elections to elect a constituent assembly whose mission would be to draft a democratic constitution for the country, up to then an absolute monarchy.<br/><br/>The Shah's first move was to strike the Anglo-Persian by nationalizing it, returning its assets and revenues to the government. Less than a month after his arrival to power, the Shah was confronted with the necessity of intervention in neighboring Saudi Arabia, whose civil war was threatening to destabilize the entire Middle East. In conjunction with Ethiopia, a quick war was fought in late December-early January, which led to the partition of the country, the eastern regions, along with the Trucial States and Oman, populated mostly by Shi'a, and holding most of the oil reserves, going to Persia, while Hejaz went to Ethiopia, Najd itself remaining as an independent country, the Saudi family ousted from power. Yemen declared its independence in October 1971, concluding the collapse of the Saudi monarchy.<br/><br/>In his first six months of power, the Shah enacted a number of decrees introducing freedom of the press, of religion and giving civil rights to women, all of which were threatened in the immediate aftermath of the elections of July 1971 when a slight majority of the seats were found to be filled by conservative to extremely hard-line Islamists, resulting in massive protests. Eventually the constitution, adopted in November 1971, was written along much more consensual lines, safeguarding fundamental democratic rights and organizing the country along federal lines, to accommodate the ethnic minorities, which represent a sizable part of the population as well as of the parliament.<br/><br/>In the years since, the government, mostly centrist, has overseen an economic boom in Persia, fueled by the growing global demand for fossil fuels, serving the industrial take-off of the country, allowing it to adopt a number of social policies such as minimum wage and a basic social net, among others. Furthermore, it has spearheaded the modernization of the country, bringing running water, electricity and roads to the country's poor and isolated rural areas, as well as the development of an efficient and compulsory education system.<br/><br/>In international diplomacy, the country remained for the better part of the decade more or less neutral, intervening only to safeguard its immediate interests such as on Iraq, threatened with an invasion by the Ottoman Empire, or in India, where the communist-backed UFI was making significant inroads. There, starting from 1976, the Persian government massively supported the local Punarjanam movement, a disparate group lead by Kanda Timay Bagalkoti, calling for the regeneration of the country on its own terms, within a framework of democratic debate and reform of the country. In late 1977, an armistice was signed between the two sides, setting the stage for the peace treaty which gave India its current political system, that of a federal republic neutral in ideological terms and in international affairs. Furthermore, Persia unofficially involved itself in the civil war wracking the Ottoman Empire, supporting the rebel movements, and secretly backing the new Armenian nation, building extremely close economic and military ties with it.<br/><br/>These successes, accompanied by the flowering of a modern Persian culture, brought on by westernization and the increasingly fast urbanization of the population, left however the nation torn between several antagonistic groups, the most liberal groups opposing the most staunchly conservative ones. On a backdrop of corruption, this lead to a near-reenactment of the civil war in 1978-1979, bringing about the most unexpected result of a victory of the Communist Party of Persia in the urns in August of 1979, leading to the formation of the first ever democratically-elected communist government in the world.<br/><br/>With the reassurance that the party, actually only the leader of a wide coalition, would guarantee the democratic form of government, the Shah, recognizing his failure at preventing the near-collapse of the nation in the past years, acquiesced to the drafting of a new constitution, which would leave him as much more of a ceremonial figurehead. This constitution, as of 1980, is still being written, clearly entrenched in secularism and preserving the many radical social and economic reforms passed in the second half of 1979, among which the total re-foundation of the judiciary system, divorce at the instigation of the wife, the right to abortion, a universal healthcare system, the legalization of homosexuality, and significant urban development plans for the poorest, as well as a land reform in favor of small owners. In an uneasy situation, the government has not, however, clearly aligned itself on China nor sought to grow closer to the 3rd international, more so because the communist party has significantly drifted apart from the communist mainstream, evolving into a more moderate and national-oriented political formation.<br/><br/>In short, the country, whose rebirth has been acknowledged by the organization of the 1980 Olympic summer games, remains at a historical crossroads, ripe with opportunities and threats. <br/><br/>EUROPE<br/><br/><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/9BV6LEt.png""/><br/>(Refer to Russia Map for lore-accurate Baltic and White Sea-area Russia)<br/><br/>1: France<br/><br/>Invaded by the German Empire during the Great War, it was one of the nations most affected. It has since recovered but traces of the Great War's effects still linger. Nearly all of it colonies were lost - some through revolts, others more peacefully - as a result of the war. Unable to manage its Algerian territories, and hoping to help its economy recover, Algeria was sold to the Spanish in the early 1970s.<br/><br/>2: United Kingdom<br/><br/>Like France, it was greatly affected by the Great War. Its colonies were quickly lost to independence movements and, in the case of Gibraltar (1948) and the Ivory Coast (1976), lost to Spanish occupation. With its military stagnant following the war, it becomes unable to respond to threats against its territories (allowing the aforementioned occupations to happen without much resistance) and fails to maintain its status as a Great Power. It saw a period of political turmoil that stood on the verge of anarchy for years and is still recovering from the effects.<br/><br/>3: Belgium<br/><br/>Invaded by the German Empire during the Great War. In 1950, it successfully repels a Spanish invasion of the Congo, one of its colonies at the time.<br/><br/>4: Denmark<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>5: Switzerland<br/><br/>Made a series of half-baked purchases in 1976 using loans from other nations, primarily from Germany, Austria and Serbia. They were unable to pay back their debt, leading to the Swiss Debt War in late 1976. A newly unified German state (a union between Prussia and Bavaria) lead a coalition of Austrian and Serbian allies to strike key targets across Switzerland. The war was brief and few land forces were deployed. The countries involved were able to reclaim their lost treasury after the conflict and Switzerland fell under the Prussian sphere of influence.<br/><br/>6: Hungary<br/><br/>Participated in the Great War on the side of the Central Powers (then part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire). Split from Austria in 1922 (following a revolution that ended the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy) and ended its participation in the war. Unsuccessfully invaded Ukraine in 1976. Its forces were repelled by Polish forces in defense of Ukraine. The event lead to the formation of the Slavic Union, in which Poland and Ukraine joined to form one nation, due in part to Ukraine's inability to defend its borders alone.<br/><br/>7: Sweden<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>8: Norway<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed<br/><br/>9: Italy<br/><br/>Fought on the side of the Allied Powers during the Great War. Invaded by the Ottoman Empire in the early 1970s. Spanish support helps secure the northern part of the country and halt the Ottoman advance. By 1974, the Spanish governor of Northern Italy - Aurelio Batista - rules the north alone. Later, Batista goes on to push the Ottomans out of Southern Italy. Shortly after, he cuts his ties to Spain. He rules Italy with an iron fist for several years.<br/><br/>In 1976, Italian rebels begin to fight back against the Batistan regime. Spain - enraged that Batista refused to heel - begins to secretly assist the rebel cause. In early 1977, Spain declares war on Batista's regime and engages in open warfare. Batista flees the country and the rebels take over, forming a new government.<br/><br/>10: Netherlands<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>11: Serbia<br/><br/>Took part in a Prussian-lead strike force during the Swiss Debt War.<br/><br/>12: Greece<br/><br/>Rebelled against the weakened Ottoman Empire in 1976. With the Ottoman Empire dealing with other revolts across its territories, the Greeks were able to free themselves in a relatively brief and successful rebellion.<br/><br/>13: Slovenia and Croatia:<br/><br/>Formerly part of Austria. The two now form a single country. They were granted their independence after Austria was annexed by Prussia.<br/><br/>14: Poland/Slavic Union<br/><br/>Declared its independence in 1922 amidst the Great War. Later, it opens up ports and becomes a significant trading power. Poland took advantage of uprisings in Czech Republic in 1970, and the Austrian territory was quickly absorbed. Austria, unable to quell the uprising and confront Poland, lost the territory without resistance. Poland became the Slavic Union shortly after. In 1975, Poland intervened in a Hungarian invasion of Ukraine, managing to repel the Hungarian forces. Ukraine joined the Slavic Union in exchange for protection after the war.<br/><br/>In 1976, Poland deployed forces into Moscow to quell the violence there. They also provided arms to Armenia during their rebellion against the Ottoman Empire.<br/><br/>15: Bulgaria<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>16: Romania<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>17: Bosnia<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>18: Belarus<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>19: Lithuania<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>20. Slovakia<br/><br/>Has not been disturbed.<br/><br/>21. Finland<br/><br/>Rebelled against the Russian Empire in 1970 in a movement known as the Vallankumous Finns. The movement was founded by Viktor Laine, a Finnish farmer who's livelihood was destroyed by what he believed to be an oppressive government. Though originally a larger front, its members were whittled down to two survivors - Viktor Laine and Jahani Mikhael - following a Russian campaign of suppression against the rebels.<br/><br/>Viktor Laine and Jahani Mikhael went on to terrorize Finland and Russia in a series of attacks aimed at members of the Russian government and its supporters, as well as military forces. Perhaps their most notorious crime was the murder of the Tsar's daughter and her unborn child. Their terror tactics were so effective marshal law was established in several Russian towns following the murder, and riots broke out when they targeted civilians in a planned effort to cause anarchy and facilitate their escape.<br/><br/>Their rampage through Russia ended with the assassination of the Tsar himself, in which Jahani sacrificed himself to detonate a bomb near a stage the Tsar was giving a speech on. The chaos that ensued gave Viktor the opportunity to fire from a concealed position, killing the Tsar. Viktor himself was never seen again.<br/><br/>The assassination of the Tsar brought about the fall of the Russian Empire as the military became split with loyalties and counteracting political ideologies. With Russia gone, Finland became independent under the rule of the Royal Boyars that stayed behind, who many saw as nothing more than a remnant of the old government. This lead to a second revolution lead by Frihet-Kampe Sven, a leader of a socialist movement. The new revolution was successful in marching south to Helsinki, driving the Boyars off the mainland. In the end, Sven was successful in bringing about the formation of a communist government, a move that was quick to draw the attention of a strongly anti-communist Spain.<br/><br/>A Spanish naval force was sent - which included the newly constructed Spanish carrier, 'La Vanguardia' - to oppose the rise of communism in Finland. In response, China - a communist nation - sends its submarine, 'Bohai'. When the Spanish naval attache began shelling the coastline, the Bohai responded with a torpedo aimed at 'La Vanguardia', sinking it and forcing the Spanish into retreat.<br/><br/>Hostilities finally ceased when a peace conference held in Ethiopia split Finland in two. The south - backed by Spain - controlled by the Boyars, and the north - backed by China - controlled by the communists under Sven.<br/><br/>22. Germany<br/><br/>The Great War took its toll. Early victories in 1914 and 1915 gave the young Empire hope, and its people drank in the pride they had felt when their brave young men took the field at Sedan in 1870. But this was not the same. Even though the Russians blundered across the Eastern Front from one slaughter to another, Germany faced the combined forces of France, Britain, and the dozens of colonies both had spent the last two centuries building. New weapons of war, built in the factories of the industrial revolution and the laboratories of modern secular science, changed the shape of the battlefield forever. Machine guns ended the cavalry charge that had been a staple of warfare from Gaugamela to Waterloo. Flying machines built from canvas and beam and wire, an invention scarcely past a decade old, dropped bombs and burst reconnaissance balloons. And then each other. Pilots shot at each other with pistols, and then with machine guns timed with their propellers. Massive steel vehicles driven by diesel motors pushed through lines of men, and could not be stopped by rifle shot alone. To advance was death. To appear was death. Everybody hid in trenches.<br/><br/>Russia left the war earlier, frightened by a Bolshevik revolution at home. Though the revolution was brought to a close, the battered Empire stayed out of the war. German u-boats sunk any ship that threatened to supply their foes. This raised the ire of the supposedly neutral, but few did anything about it. As much as the Allies wanted them to join the fight, the United States kept silent. Even as their plans failed on the western front, Germany had a stroke of luck when Abyssinia, the small African kingdom that had broken Italy a generation earlier, joined its side and brought down Allied colonies abroad. No matter what happened, neither side gained enough of an advantage to end the war.<br/><br/>By 1919, Germany was prepared to crack. The British headed blockade in the North Sea was choking their lands dry, and prices sky-rocketed. The people blamed their generals, and they blamed the war, and they blamed their Kaiser. New troops that should have been heading to the front stayed in Germany and put down plots and the traitors who plotted them.<br/><br/>As the bloody decade came to a close and the twenties dawned, the war turned into a pointless stalemate. Neither side budged, but neither side could afford to advance. Calls for peace came and went, but both sides were convinces that the other would capitulate if they just waited a month longer. A month always turned into months, however, and months into years. It wouldn't be until 1925 when they would see their peace, and by then too much damage had been done. The Habsburg monarchy disintegrated, leaving the Austria-Hungarian Empire a smattering of new independent states. Britain retreated from the world, and even from her Empire, and France fared as badly.<br/><br/>For Germany, those who had hoped the end of the war would bring them normality had their hopes dashed. War debts loomed, an army full of disillusioned men came home with nightmares, and bread remained expensive. For many Germans, it was the Kaiser's fault.<br/><br/>Republicanism swept across the country, headed off only in the North where the military might of old Prussia still held sway. The Kaiser resigned, afraid that the bloody terrors of the French Revolution one hundred years before had finally arrived in his country. Legendary General Paul von Hindenburg was elected Chancellor, but this was not enough.<br/><br/>Unable to bring the south to heal, he allowed the new Bavarian-led republic its independence. It was a time to rebuild, not to fight a civil war, and so rebuild they did. For the next fifty years, the divided land of Germany licked its wounds and waited for a new generation of youth to guide them.<br/><br/>The death of Hindenburg in 1939, and his successor in the next decade, brought the republican spirit back to the country. Wishing for unity, they two nations folded back into a single republic. It would stay this way until 1976.<br/><br/>The 1970's were a decade that changed the world. Communism was rising in the east, Spain filled the boots of the old European powers and set about rebuilding its old Empire. The Ottoman Empire was showing signs of crumbling, and Africa was beginning to congeal into a force of its own. In Germany, the stressed republic was beginning to loose favor. Spanish hegemony in Europe was seen as an insult to German pride that the ineffectual government was doing nothing about. A string of depressions and recessions made people uncertain of their jobs or futures, and it seemed like there was a new scandal in Munich every week. When the Minister of the Treasury was caught embezzling funds into foreign banks for the personal use of him and his friends, the people grew angry, and when it was revealed that the same Minister was married into a prominent Jewish family, that made it somehow worse.<br/><br/>Protests turned into riots when green guards mishandled them. An underground pro-monarchy movement added fuel to the fire when they dug up an unknown construction worker named Frederick who happened to be second in line for the place of Hohenzollern family head. The first in line, a sonless old rich pile of dust living in an old castle that nobody thought twice about, was easily passed over. Frederick was tall, loud, and sported a forked blonde beard that looked good under a pickelhaube. With his face in their minds, the riots turned into a revolution. The Munich government surrendered, and Frederick was put in its place. He moved the capital to Berlin and took the title ""King of Prussia"".<br/><br/>A swift occupation of the broke nation of Austria brought it into this Greater German polity, and nationalism swelled in the streets. German military might was increased. For the Germans, Frederick had brought the nation back to where it was before the damnable war. As the seventies came to an end, it looks as if even borders will not contain their swelling pride. <br/><br/>NORTH AMERICA<br/><br/><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/mttYJn4.png""/><br/><br/>1: The United States:<br/>The United States did not get involved in the Great War. For decades, American forces were tied up in a rebellion in the Philippines. In the 1960's, the United States was forced to pull out of the Phillippines when a Second Civil War broke out at home.<br/><br/>Jason Duhmell was a US army officer who's participation in Floridian politics was controversial enough to earn him an honorable discharge. He was a leading member in local workers movements, and spearheaded a state-wide campaign to divide the state of Florida in two - the Northern Half, his home, where workers rights candidates prevailed, and the Southern Half, which he claimed was part of a ""Jewish Conspiracy."" His movement failed, but it would be the seed of something bigger.<br/><br/>Economic depression struck the country in waves every other decade. World trade was devastated by the Great War, and the American economy failed to grow. Many of its poor, rural citizens saw this as a failure of their government, and of the ""Big bosses"" in wall street. Protests spread across the country demanding more rights for workers, better pay, and rights for unions. The American government responded coldly, and reform was rare. It came to a head in 1965 when the southern states broke away. A quick election was held in the south, and its capital was moved to Jacksonville, Florida. Jason Duhmell, the discharged officer from northern Florida, became the commander of the rebel military.<br/><br/>With weapons stolen from military bases and factories across the south, Duhmell invaded Maryland and forced the US government to flee Washington for the safety of San Francisco. United States forces arrived shortly after, and the brunt forced Duhmell back across the border.<br/><br/>The rise of the socialist rebels caused similar movements to explode across the Midwest. There were few successes, the most notable being the short lived Detroit Commune, but they had an effect. The United States was close to losing nearly half of its lands.<br/><br/>It was then, at the very worst possible time, that Canada invaded. The worlds longest undefended border in the world became a joke as Canadians pressed into New England and Oregon. Because this war ran into the Second American Civil War, the entire thing was seen as a single conflict. ""The First North American War.""<br/><br/>Canada quickly secured Alaska and began a campaign to annex parts of Oregon and New England. Having quickly overrun New England in a bombing campaign that leveled New York City and Boston, a Canadian puppet states was put in place. It would have went well, if it hadn't been for an invasion of Michigan which threatened the rebel Detroit Commune. American diplomats in the South used this to successfully convince the rebel Southern government that Canada was looking to annex everything down to Mexico. A temporary truce was brokered, and Canada was faced with the entirety of the American and Southern military might.<br/><br/>At the Wars zenith, Ethiopia and China staged a joint operation with support from the Vatican City, helping to bring aid to the embattled American people and to airlift refugees out of the country.<br/><br/>Peace was brokered. New England, the Canadian puppet state, would remain independent, and Canada would get to retain Alaska. For the Canadians, it was technically a victory, but the war would have costs on their government that would end in the creation of the Northwestern Coalition: A State comprised of Alberta and the southern portion of British Columbia.<br/><br/>The South did not go to war with the United States again; both nations were tired of Americans slaughtering Americans. The Southern government would prove reckless, however, when they invaded Cuba. This conflict would ruin their already bankrupt economy, and the nation would collapse almost as quickly as it won its independence. The Southern States, by the end of 1971, were ushered back into the Union.<br/><br/>The war had its effects though. The American Socialist party swallowed the remnants of the Southern Government and became a real force, electing their own president. The Socialist President, pressured by congress, began demanding that New England rejoin the union. Troops were stationed at the border, and a blockade was introduced along the nations ports. Though they were just meant as a way to pressure New England's government into a crisis between it and its often loyal American citizens, the plan backfired. Canada took it as a declaration of war and brought Spain into the conflict.<br/><br/>The Second North American War was short. The Spanish navy broke the blockade, but pro-American rebels in New England sabotaged Spanish and Canadian forces. The New English government failed to provide support, and it became clear that what the Spanish and Canadians were trying to save was hopeless. New England was abandoned, and folded back into the United States shortly after.<br/><br/>The Northwestern Coalition, which had joined the war on the side of New England, failed to surrender. They tried desperately to take control of what they felt was their rightful Cascadian territories. The war was an abysmal failure, but their president was presented with an option. He turned it down and sued for peace, but an extreme faction in his government went ahead with their plan. In 1976, the Northwestern Coalition dropped a deadly chemical VX bomb in Seattle, killing the entire civilian population. It was seen as an attack on humanity, and it destroyed any chance of the Northwestern Coalition getting a fair peace. The country was occupied and its government dismantled.<br/><br/>The US remained in the hands of the Socialist party until a mixture of conservative and populist elements began to emerge. By 1980, a rising senator named Dixon passed a bill that officially named the remnants of the North Western Coalition into a territory of the United States with the option of statehood in the future. Called ""Cascadia territory"", its future was sealed. The 1980 election season was hotly contested, but it was interrupted when a faction in the United States military, facing pay cuts, occupied the capital and forced an immediate election. This was seen as controversial across the world.<br/><br/>2: Canada:<br/>Britain's Anarchy caused many British citizens to flee to Canada. Seeing it as an extension of their empire, they pushed forward a more aggressive nationalist agenda. An oil sand industry in Alberta caused an economic spike, and the wealthy conservative element it produced joined the nationalist movement. An idea spread amongst these factions that land bartered to the Americans during the 19th century had been unfairly lost. Oregon, Washington, and parts of Maine were seen as rightfully Canadian. This movement was little more than an attempt to stir up a more fervent nationalism, but when the United State broke out into Civil War, it became more.<br/><br/>In 1970, the Canada invaded the United States. They quickly over-ran New England and created a puppet state there. It was only when the United States managed to put its civil war aside that Canada was forced back. They managed to take Alaska, and their New English puppet was allowed to exist, but this still wasn't enough. Canada had failed in its goals, and the belief that they were superior to their disorganized American neighbors was dashed.<br/><br/>This caused the government to fracture. The wealthy conservative elements in the west managed to barter for autonomy, forming the North Western Coalition. Originally it was supposed to be no more then a slightly more autonomous part of Canada, but it quickly began to exercise true independence.<br/><br/>In 1976, American forced blockaded New England. Canada, with the help of Spain, went to war in order to support their neighbor. Canadian and Spanish forces broke the blockade, but found the New English government to be unpopular amongst its people. It was clear that they would not last long, so Canada and Spain abandoned the war. The North Western Coalition did not, and they continued to try to invade Washington despite being outnumbered and outgunned. It's elite presented a weapon to its president, but the president refused to use it, suing for peace instead. The elite ignored him, however, and used the weapon on Seattle. A VX bomb. The toxic chemical killed the entire population of Seattle and many of those downwind of the city. It was seen as an affront to humanity, and the United States occupied the NWC. They later annexed it.<br/><br/>3: Mexico:<br/>Socialist, a member of the Third International/Comintern. Otherwise undisturbed.<br/><br/>4: Cuba:<br/>Socialist.

<br/>ASIA<br/><br/><img src=""http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/071/e/5/pow_map_asia_by_aaronmk-d79y5p0.png""/><br/><br/>China<br/><br/>From Europe, the earliest criticisms of China could come in the form of remarks over their lack of knowledge to the concept of liberty, or not nearly grasping it enough. Since the 17th century the mighty Qing had presided over the Chinese with an iron hand. The Manchu dragon wrapped all through Chinese society. Even determining the style of hair one grew as a sign of obedience to the Manchu ruling clan, the Qing.<br/><br/>The Qing court met the coming of its winter on the autumn dawn of 1911. As Europe healed from the wounds left by the Great War the Chinese to the East were marching to war. A number of uprisings and revolutions lead into the Wuchang Uprising, which having overthrown the Qing dynasty in the south sought its own European styled Republic. Lead by Sun-yet Sen a Republican era was boldly born in Nanjing. It was an ambition with great dreams, and with blood destined for its saber.<br/><br/>The Imperial court in Peking had grown considerably weak in the recent decades, and was only hurt more when it was cut off from its financial support in the west as an effect of post-war economic injuries. The value of its loans weakened. As well, the increasingly conservative politics of Emperess Dowager Cixi was hardly a comfort to China. As well, the young emperor Puyi was still incapable of wielding actual power except through his regency of eunuchs and Cixi.<br/><br/>As well over the northern border, the recently repressed Octobirists and Bolsheviks of Russia's own failed revolution sought refuge abroad. Many seeing a weakened state with little or a crippled authority poured across the border from Siberia into the desolate cold deserts of Western China or into the cold backwoods of Manchuria. These westerners, bringing the ideas of Revolution and the writings of Marx, Lenin, and his followers to a foreign land helped to slowly spread the seeds of their failed march for freedom in Russia.<br/><br/>In the east, factionalization in the court of Peking mounted, spurring the removal of the regent by Yuan Shikai on orders by Emperess Dowager Longyu. This move putting the northern Beiyang Army in total control of the imperial court. General Shikai, reasoning that war would be costly opted instead to reach agreements with the Chinese Republic in the south on the presumption of creating a constitutional monarchy and republic for all of China. To this end, Sun Yat-sen ceded the presidency to Shikai.<br/><br/>To this end Longyu unwisely issued an Imperial eddict dissolving Imperial Authority and shattering northern stability, bringing to an end 2,000 years of imperial unity and an era of warlordism in and around Beijing, Chinese Central Plains region, and beyond.<br/><br/>The increased factional differences between the disorganized and feudal warlords and growing questions on Chinese culture only sharpened the criticisms from Europe. To the westerners and everyone, the Chinese knew not the liberty Sun-yet Sen had sought to bring. And China was a rotting corpse of its former glory in 1912.<br/><br/>In 1927 under the military leader Chiang Kai-shek the Republic of China sought to restore order to the Chinese provinces. Kai-shek mustered his army, and lead an expedition into the Chinese north to defeat the Chinese warlords and capture Beijing for the glory of Nanjing. His force swelled to 250,000 men from both the right and the left of the Republic of China.<br/><br/>Chiang Kai-Shek's vast army managed to defeat and the Zhili Clique. And with his victory sealed the Kuomintang army kept its march. But in the winter of 1927, the general would make the split in the Chinese Republic that would haunt them until their demise. As the snows fell, he ordered a purge of his army and the Kumintang of all socialist and communist elements. This affront great upsetting and enraging the the leftist leadership.<br/><br/>The Communist and socialist parties of the KMT fled west-ward into China's interior where there was large Communist loyalty seeded by the Russian refugees living there. In the KMT, the party lines split and even for a brief while the Republic appeared to break down, forcing Chiang Kai-Shek to withdraw his troops to deal with his opposition who had established a new capital in Wuhan as Chiang established is rule in Nanjing.<br/><br/>The vacuum of power he left behind allowed the remnants of the Manchurian authority and the feuding Bieyang cliques to advance on the lands he had occupied and effectively invalidating the initial Northern Campaign.<br/><br/>The political climate in China went is disarray as Chiang Kai-Shek consolidating his power and went on the path to declare himself the military dictator of the Republic of China. By 1930, the political state had deteriorated enough that the Japanese Empire took advantage and declared war on the fractured Chinese state.<br/><br/>Operating through Korea which they had claimed late in the century prior, the Red Sun of Japan swept into Northern China, making short work of the warlords and making full occupation of Manchuria and Beijing. And the young emperor Puyi – who had by this point came of age – was appointed by Hirohito as the reigning monarch of the puppet state of Manchukoko. The territory being granted to the Emperor on the pretense of a marriage the former Qing Emperor's brother had with the Emperor's cousin.<br/><br/>Though in public Puyi and Japan managed to have a cooperative existence, the two factions bickered behind closed doors. Though the Aisin-Gioro clan retained power in the north thanks to Japan, the Emperor insisted that he should still have all of China. Conflict over identity also kept the two sides at opposition as Japan waged war on the Republic.<br/><br/>Initially, the KMT suffered heavy defeats at the hand of Japan loosing control of coastal China and forced to abandon their Nanjing as Chiang Kai-Shek fought both the Communists on one side, his critics in the middle, and the Japanese on side.<br/><br/>Communism would make a resurgence in China in the 1940's as refugees fled westward. On the increasing man power the Communists found themselves with more ability to make bolder moves and to have more influence on the other regions of China. Although hardly capable of practicing it much and making only small gains they were none-the-less a powerful adversary against both the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan.<br/><br/>In the year 1956 the pressures of Chiang Kai-Shek were given a direct slap in the face in the liberated city of Hong Kong. Roughly ten-years recaptured the Macau and Hong Kong area switched hands again as a student-led uprising stole the vital ports from Chiang Kai-shek in a city-wide revolution ousting Republican control and raising the red flag. Led primarily by Wen Chu and Hou Sai Tang, the new Hong Kong commune – along with its partners in Macau – sought an independent state ruled by Communist law. However the response from Chiang Kai Shek was sharp and absolute: no.<br/><br/>A prolonged siege of the cities forced a mass evacuation and abandonment of the cities to the Republican Army. Sneaking around the Republican front line, the communes and their faithful left their homes and made the long march west to meet with communist leaders in Chongqing.<br/><br/>The vision of Wen Chu and Hou Sai Tang offered a resource stern enough to give the Communists a centralized morale to make a move on their enemies. Leaving for the north, Wen Chu went to conduct campaigns towards Beijing as Hou Sai Tang assisted the former Republican officer-made-general Lou Shai Dek in an offense against the weak and bickering Republican forces.<br/><br/>On campaign though, Wen Chu came to an end on the wintered fields of the north, forcing Hou Sai Tang to march northward on Beijing to avenge his fallen friend. Smashing much of the Republican army at Luding Bridge, Hou went north where he engaged the Imperial forces.<br/><br/>Suffering a number of guerrilla defeats at the hands of the Communists, as well as suffering the strain of prolonged conflict and the humiliation of loosing Unit 731 and the uncovering of its atrocities there, the Empire of Japan withdrew from China, moving its operations to Taiwan and Korea and abandoning Puyi to the Communists.<br/><br/>Beijing fell in 1958 and in the next year Chiang Kai Shek was killed in the field bringing to an end the military capabilities of the Republican south. By the end of 1959 the Communists had near defacto control of China; minus Tibet and Mongolia. On the dawning of 1960 a congress was called by Hou who had assumed defacto control of the Communists forces. Inviting the remnants of the Republican Chinese politic they organized the surrender of Southern China to the Communist authority and drafted the constitution of the new China on the principles written by Hou Sai Tang and his colleagues since he began studying law in Hong Kong in 1946; this communist ideology becoming known simply and popularly by the term Houism, The People's Manifest of Independence being its book.<br/><br/>This congress also served to organize the new Chinese government, and effectivly saw the merger of the less radical Republic elements into the CPC to create the New People's China party, or NPC; the official name of the state also being derived from the party: New People's China.<br/><br/>Over the next several years, the new Chinese government sought to repair the damages wrought on it by nearly half a century of conflict, as well as the rooting out of remaining right-wing elements in China and lingering foreign right-wing militia units in China.<br/><br/>Over the course of five-years the new government took to Mongolia as being the first battleground to test its influence, forcing a communist revolution within Mongolia and annexing it the year after.<br/><br/>1970 saw the Red Dragon of China making its full stir. Lead by what the west saw as an aging dictator China entered the global sphere lead by Hou Sai Tang, whose office had been maintained through the popular opinion of him in the national congress and beyond, informally invalidating the need for election and striking it out of the national interest.<br/><br/>1970 also saw a re-mustering of the Chinese military arm as the nation itself underwent continued large-scale infrastructural and agricultural reforms. <br/><br/>With the US territories in the Philippines being lost to nationalistic revolution the Congress saw a means to enforce continuing Chinese influence, and to stamp out the potential of growing conservatism. After Tibet in 1970 they approved for the deceleration of war on Japan for Taiwan and the Philippines for the restoration of order based on a large-scale plan by the Chinese military circles.<br/><br/>Several million soldiers of the NPC Liberation Army and Navy – NPCLA and NPCLN respectively – landed on the shores of Taiwan and defeated the Imperial army in short order. Following soon after NPCLA and NPCLN forces engaged nationalist rebels shortly after their deposition of the US military on the island of Luzon. The conflict in Luzon spanned on into 1971 and involved one engagement with the US Navy as they sought to reconquer the Philippines. However, the US were forced to back off of the war to deal with the growing First North American War.<br/><br/>Peace in the Philippines arrived later that year. Peace with Japan solidified Chinese rule over Taiwan when the war boiled in Japanese Korea, forcing the Japanese to recognize an independent government in northern Korea based in Pyongyang.<br/><br/>Congress agreed to a long-term twenty-year plan to the formation of and backing of a native Philippino government in Luzon. However this decision cut short the campaign on Mindanao on the pretense that on a future date the Luzonian government would have the strength to conduct the campaign themselves. This decision dooming Mindanao into a state of anarchy as conservative elements bickered and fought each other in a feudal fashion, only loosely abiding to the rule of a man claiming to be the true Pope, criticizing Europe and Rome for its inability to confront the demons of Communism in Asia.<br/><br/>1970 and 1971 also saw the dissolution of French Indochina through covert funding and supplying of anti-colonial revolutionaries in Laos and Vietnam. Backdoor meetings with the Kingdom of Cambodia also talked them into the disposal of French rule over Cambodia and the end to European rule in Indochina. The move sparked the creation of the Asian Socialist Bloc, an alliance offering mutual trade, ideological, and material trade between its member states. The ASB would grow to involve Luzon on legal technicalities and the Chinese supported revolutionaries in Eastern Russia, the communes of Radek in the West, and to some degree much later: The United States and Mexico.<br/><br/>With the growth of Ottoman power in the west, concern grew over the likelihood of a Turkish super-state. In response to the Ottoman invasions of the Caucus they deployed troops to Khazakhstan as part of a military access deal. Weapons supplies were shipped as well to the Khazaks as well.<br/><br/>A faction within the air force of China became increasingly interested in the prospects of operations far beyond the operational limits of conventional aircraft. And with captured jet technology from their brush with the Americans and the occupation of the Philippines the Chinese were given their setting stone to achieve new heights. Though jet technology was sparse and widely unused by all but the wealthiest of states the Chinese decided to push the limits, beginning the foundations of a space program and an experimental high-altitude bombing project.<br/><br/>As a result of the project, 1971 saw the launch of the first space balloon, and 1973 the launch of the first satellites: OARP 1 and 2. In 1975 the radio communication satellite Kaanshou was launched, its mission to intercept high-strength foreign radio transmissions and transmit them back to Beijing, where the central intelligence community – The Intelligence Bureau – retrieved and logged the communications data from radio services around the world; they believing that they may build a profile based on the public reception of international activity, and to keep their news profiles on the world better up to date.<br/><br/>Through the year of 1975 the government of Eastern Siberia invaded west-ward into western Siberia and central Russia, intent on acquiring the next large swathe of the former Empire to make good on their claim. However the movement – supplied and backed by the Chinese – met to their surprise staunch resistance by the local Russian Republican army.<br/><br/>The conflict ended in an uneasy settlement that only moved the borders west by a few miles. The treaty caused great agitation from Nikolov Nitski – the leader of the Eastern Siberia movement – who thought they could do better. Post-conflict as well saw a movement within Eastern Siberia to force the Eastern government to cede to the west.<br/><br/>Breaking to the demands Nikolov went to the Republic to enter discussions. However before beginning official dialogs the leader sought to deny the Republic Vladivostok and any potential Pacific access by selling China the former Outer Manchu states.<br/><br/>The dialogs dragged and officially got no where. Though as a result the Siberian state had broke down weakening Siberia for the next few years. China supported Nikolov as they could.<br/><br/>1976 saw the officialization of a Space and Science ministry, which acted as canvas for civilian/university oriented space missions and a testing administration for military-oriented space-craft models. As a government and more public space organization they Chinese Space and Science Ministry was set to work with members of the ASB and China's allies to further their space-oriented goals.<br/><br/>1976 and 1977 was the years of administrative transition from the Asian-oriented ASB to a globally minded Third International, or the Comintern. Based on the idea that with the formal membership of the US and Mexico – coupled with the far-western membership of Northern Finland and Saint Petersburg-Novogorod – that the ASB was no longer a regional organization and was reaching global status. Promoted by Zhang Auyi – minister of People's Affairs and Agriculture – the concept of the Third International was fronted as an administratively flexible and internationally accessible organization for the promotion of socialist and communist ideology and for a multinational discussion on revolutionary ideology; as well as a fraternity to protect its members from aggressive opposition.<br/><br/>The base of the Third International was built in Shanghai and named the Seven Nations Pond, in reference to the seven continents of the world, symbolizing international unity. Though its naming as often been criticized by geological organizations.<br/><br/>As well as after six years of hiding, Chinese agents relocated the Tibetain Dalai Lama in Nepal. Though on an unrelated case at the time the Lama's location was reported in and he was re-invited back to China by Hou. His return at the promise of reconciliation and at the promise of Hou to see legislation base through Congress to safeguard the Tibetan population. Though the proposition was ignored for several years, the Lama finally returned in 1978 and the dialog for a proper autonomy bill started.<br/><br/>With the dawning of 1980 debate still lingers in the Chinese Congress over the autonomy zones and how to define them. The Space and Science ministry continues its operations with a series of launches and experiments in space to continue the plan outlined by its minister Henjibou for the completion of the high-altitude bombing program he started in the air-force.<br/><br/>In Manchuria, the Chinese army prepares for a second assault onto Russia to continue its commitment to Eastern Siberia. Meanwhile, a small detachment is settled on the Ethiopian island of Pemba as part of an alliance and military partnership deal to train future Ethiopian regiments.<br/><br/>The 1980 election of a new president of the US has caused conflict in the Third International as the US makes protesting moves against what it perceives as still as Chinese hegemony on top of the b-lining of the potential influence in its borders from Brazil in the Hispanic population. Its consideration for xenophobic laws and the active elective order for the arrest or deportation of legal Hispanic immigrants has charged Mexico and attracted the attention of China, with threats or revoking Comintern membership.<br/><br/>India<br/><br/>Asia in general enjoyed a fair amount of stability and much of its conflicts were not nearly protracted. A sort of local Pax China existed after the territorial claims of China against Japan were enforced. Though the issue that struck through Asia and destabilized its feeling of peace came from India. Political instability and rivalry within its senate and federal offices – erected shoddily after the collapse of the British Empire – created an atmosphere of plots against itself to stamp out political rivals. In all, India never had the appropriate administration to function as a unified state and collapsed after roughly twenty-years of independence from Britain in 1971.<br/><br/>India's collapsed mirrored that of Russia in the north with its provinces and states being broken from each other and falling into a situation much like that of a quarreling collection of psuedo-nations ruled by warlords or minor parliaments trying to exert control.<br/><br/>India's bickering and boiling would roll over the better part of five years. By 1975 Beijing was putting a keen eye on India. By which point a man from Jaipur - simply calling himself Mahatma - had reached power in the Jaipur region of India. Preaching a communist and socialist revolution he sought to unite India in red and had secured his power over northern India in the five years of chaos, stretching as far as Bangladesh with support in bordering western Burma by the time of China's courting of him.<br/><br/>Promising assistance in political and military affairs, with the boon of economic support from the ASB he was offered – and signed to join – the Asian Socialist Bloc, bringing to his banners a considerable sum of Chinese, Cambodian, and Vietnamese aid. By this point though, the Shah in Persia took notice and cautious of growing Chinese influence made his own move to exert Persian influence over India, primarily making is steak over southern India via the Punarjanam movement.<br/><br/>The two sides clashed over the coarse of 1975 and 1976 until both came to the table and elected on peace. Agreeing to recognize the bodies of India as a federation with a shared parliament between semi-autonomous regions. As a part of the treaty, India was sworn to not involve itself in the affairs of China or Persia and swear perpetual political neutrality to both.<br/><br/>Philippines<br/><br/>With the US territories in the Philippines being lost to nationalistic revolution the Congress saw a means to enforce continuing Chinese influence, and to stamp out the potential of growing conservatism. After Tibet in 1970 they approved for the deceleration of war on Japan for Taiwan and the Philippines for the restoration of order based on a large-scale plan by the Chinese military circles.<br/><br/>Several million soldiers of the NPC Liberation Army and Navy – NPCLA and NPCLN respectively – landed on the shores of Taiwan and defeated the Imperial army in short order. Following soon after NPCLA and NPCLN forces engaged nationalist rebels shortly after their deposition of the US military on the island of Luzon. The conflict in Luzon spanned on into 1971 and involved one engagement with the US Navy as they sought to reconquer the Philippines. However, the US were forced to back off of the war to deal with the growing First North American War.<br/><br/>Peace in the Philippines arrived later that year. Peace with Japan solidified Chinese rule over Taiwan when the war boiled in Japanese Korea, forcing the Japanese to recognize an independent government in northern Korea based in Pyongyang.<br/><br/>Through 1975-1976 they had begun assisting Luzon in the acquisition of Mindanao. The year-and-a-half war was a grueling guerillas conflict against religious fanatics and ultra-nationalists. Though economic isolation combined with the poor nature of the economic disposition of the island had largely destroyed any attempt at a centralized authority. The only formal power they warlords of the island had was in that of the Pope of Mindanao, who fancied himself the true Pope as opposed to the one in Rome.<br/><br/>As well as being Anti-Chinese the Mindanese were anti-Europe through the Pope and critical of the Europeans for their lack of rescue from China.<br/><br/>The Pope of Mindanao was eventually cornered and assassinated by Chinese agents on the French colonial island of Niku Hiva. The war in Mindanao ended shortly after as Luzonian and Chinese troops swarmed Davao.<br/><br/>Several million soldiers of the NPC Liberation Army and Navy – NPCLA and NPCLN respectively – landed on the shores of Taiwan and defeated the Imperial army in short order. Following soon after NPCLA and NPCLN forces engaged nationalist rebels shortly after their deposition of the US military on the island of Luzon. The conflict in Luzon spanned on into 1971 and involved one engagement with the US Navy as they sought to reconquer the Philippines. However, the US were forced to back off of the war to deal with the growing First North American War.<br/><br/>Peace in the Philippines arrived later that year. Peace with Japan solidified Chinese rule over Taiwan when the war boiled in Japanese Korea, forcing the Japanese to recognize an independent government in northern Korea based in Pyongyang.<br/><br/>Tibet<br/><br/>In the summer of 1970 the Chinese Congress approved war with Tibet sparking a large-scale march against the Himalayan nation of Tibet. Disorganized, severely outdated, and without backing the Tibetan nation was seized in two weeks by the Chinese military who established military rule over the plateau.<br/><br/>Originally, considerations were being made to maintain the Dalai Lama's presence, if stripping him of all authority over Tibet and making him a mere figure head. But the Lamite supporters organized for the means to evacuate the Lama from Lhasa. Successfully smuggling Tenzin Gyatso across the border into Nepal a small groups of monks had effectively slapped Beijing in the face.<br/><br/>The Dalai Lama was rediscovered in hiding in 1976 by Chinese intelligence agents on an unrelated mission against South-East Asian opium cartels, and a process of diplomacy and legalism convinced the Lama to return if the Congress considered and debated further laws to loosen restriction on religion and minority rights in China.<br/><br/>North Korea/Korea<br/><br/>The Northern half of Korea was recognized as independent after the war in Taiwan expanded northward onto the Korean peninsula. Recruiting and making good on earlier promises with Korean revolutionaries who had fled into northern China early in the last decade the army and their guerillas support sought to carve out a renewed and independent Korean state. However in the peace process they had to drop the lower half of the peninsula and leave it to Japanese hands.<br/><br/>Indochina<br/><br/>The Indochinese region was liberated from French and European influence after the Chinese government funded and supplied revolutionary forces in the 1970's. These fledgling states would become early members of the Asian Socialist Bloc, a Chinese-led alliance for the defense of revolutionary ideology in the Asian sphere.<br/><br/>Empire of Japan<br/><br/>Japan involved itself in the early stages of China's national unrest, provoking it behind the scenes before invading in the 1930's. They had many victories and little defeats. Though the war dragged draining their resources until finally being driven out of the country by Chinese Communists in the mid-late 50's.<br/><br/>Secessionist movements in their colonial territories on the Asian mainland further separated the Empire from the mainland, cutting them down to their island territories.<br/><br/>Japan would be further hit by the Chinese in the 70's and lost Taiwan and half of their only Asian mainland territory – Korea – to war.<br/><br/>Japan is ruled by the sickly, old Emperor Hirohito – or Emperor Showa. Akihito stands to be the next in line for the Imperial throne but faces the daunting task of either restoring Japanese honor or holding onto its southern islands.<br/><br/>Kazakhstan/Turkistan<br/><br/>This central Asian nation is otherwise untouched. Though they trade with China for weapons and have Chinese military bases on their soil in expectation of growing Ottoman influence. Or more recently the growing influence of the Russian Mafiya.<br/><br/>Nepal<br/><br/>Untouched<br/><br/>Bhutan<br/><br/>Untouched<br/><br/>RUSSIA<br/><br/><img src=""http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/071/f/4/pow_russia_by_aaronmk-d79yb71.png""/><br/>(*Cartographer's note: Latvia and not Livonia.)<br/><br/>Russia left the Great War late in the year 1916. Based on popular protest to the war and threats from the Imperial military Czar Nicolas II was successfully convinced to turn the armies around and to return home. This fateful act gave him the time to ensure his longevity. Or the delaying of the inevitable.<br/><br/>The returning Russian Army managed to quell the outspoken discontent from the officer corp, as well as provided the muscle to locate, confront, and eliminate political opposition to the crown. Particularly those forces related to the October Revolutions and the rising Bolshevik presence within Russia. With the army returning home the revolutions were stomped early and the Communists forced into hiding: their leaders captured and executed. Men we'd know as Lenin, Stalin, or Trotsky being put to death before their modern manifestos could be fully realized. What remained of their lieutenants and followers fled deep into hiding in Siberia, or into China.<br/><br/>With the Russian Army abandoning the Great War Tzar Nicolas realized the longevity of the Romanov line, at least to Peter IV.<br/><br/>Post-war the Russian Empire wasn't as imperial as it was or could be. Georgia and Armenia both declared independence from Russia in the twenties, winning a grueling war in the mountains that forced Saint Petersburg to recognize either state as independent. Through the forties and fifties Kazakhstan fought the Russian authority, eventually achieving independence for itself. Even Finland sought to question its own status in the Empire and came to challenge it in the late 60's.<br/><br/>Throughout the years of Nicolas' late-years and post-years a number of imperial territories would find themselves slipping from the Imperial grip. It was as if the Empire that had declared itself the Guardian of Christendom was fading out.<br/><br/>On the ascension of Peter IV from Nicolas of Russia the ghosts of Bolsheviks passed would work their way out and the aristocratic and working class murmured again of revolution. Often pointing out and using the Czar's faults as a means against him.<br/><br/>Despite the criticism Czar Peter IV had an almost single-minded plan: to restore Russian unity. Unlike his predecessor who simply wished to maintain what he could hold, Peter wanted to expand it and reunify it. He's use his faculties to continue clamping down on the unrest and reactivated the Russian war-machine, invading Ukraine in the 70's in a bid to restore it.<br/><br/>At around this time, nationalists in Finland confronted the Empire, demanding an independent sovereign state. The war was a grueling conflict that lasted and dragged through the winters seemingly without hope. Though the nationalist Vallankumous Finns had great heart for their cause they lacked the organization or numbers to fully stand toe-to-toe in Russia and by 1970 the rebellion was falling apart.<br/><br/>A final attack was staged, intent on killing all remaining members of the revolution. But in the chaos its two leaders managed to break away. Viktor Laine and Juhani Mikheal being the lone survivors and the hammer to end the czar.<br/><br/>The two men took to Russia and using their skills assassinated a number of magistrates and members of the Romanov family and direct relations to Czar Peter. Eventually climaxing in the Czar himself. On this fated meeting, the czar was giving a speech in Moscow, proclaiming Russian greatness and their victories in Finland to the Russian people in the winter afternoon. The two Finns however had other plans to let him speak. And from a parking garage and in the crowds lashed out on the Czar. With a shot and an explosion, the two slew the Czar.<br/><br/>Their sole act of patriotic terrorism did more harm to the Russian state than any of them could have dreamed of, if anyone could know. Following the Czar's death the voices of discontent spoke up with a scream and went to battle. Pretenders and successors to the Imperial Throne proclaimed their legitimacy and feuded. Generals seeking power beyond their rank mobilized their men. The year of 1971 had been the Empire's nightfall, and it remains in darkness to today.<br/><br/>COMMUNES OF NOVOGOROD-SANKTPETERSBURG<br/><br/>The communes are a loose arrangement of autonomous communities based on the Communist ideology of the Neo-Bolshevik leader Dymtro Radek. A former priest for the Russian Orthodox Church, Radek had become angry at clerical abuses and state corruption. He turned to Communism and was thus arrested when he partook in a armed capture of an Imperial Magistrate's office in 1961. He was imprisoned south of the Urals were he remained for ten years before escaping during the collapse of the Empire.<br/><br/>Rallying fellow political inmates and followers he conducted a violent revolution that nearly possessed all of Western Russia before he and his followers were beaten back into Sankt-Petersburg, Novogord, and Estonia. There he mustered his forces and retained power on the region, eventually moving to capturing the shore of the White Sea to the north in 1975. But his position and lack of trade opportunity has let him and his men become under equipped, and indeed a large part of his force that would be vehicles have been converted to units of revived cavalry.<br/><br/>After consolidating his power Radek was approached by the Chinese and offered protection and economic support where it was possible in the ASB. He accepted the deal and is now still a nation recognized independent by the Third International, of which the communes are a member of.<br/><br/>RUSSIA REPUBLIC<br/><br/>The Russian Republic started as a consolidation of power by Russian general Dimitriov who fancied himself president. Acquiring command of more otherwise non-aligned units or assassinating his rivals he acquired power over the western reaches of Siberia.<br/><br/>His power was centered over the city of Yekaterinburg south of the Urals. He built his power on the intimidation of other officers or leaders in the hot anarchy-ridden state of Russia, and there was hardly anything that could be pointed out as being Republican in his reign. Never the less, he was styled with the title of President and came to run the expanding Republic.<br/><br/>In 1976 the forces of Eastern Siberia pushed westward, invading the Republican territory where they met with and fought the armies of Dimitriov. The Eastern Siberians had not appropriately calculated Dimitriov's power potential and their campaign faltered. It was made worse by the rumored acquisition of the chemical weapon known as VX. The rumors – and his active threats to use it, which only confirmed it – lead to increased interest of China; who had already been largely propping up the Siberian army.<br/><br/>The allegations had also caught on with the Polish who became interested in the affairs and critical of the president. Demanding a conference, the sides met in Moscow – which had been recently acquired by the Republic by “purchase” - to discuss the incident and war. Though the Siberians were forced to stop with only small gains main on advancing the border the president was forced to admit to having purchased VX. Though he claimed to have disposed of it. Never the less he was forced to allow Chinese investigators through his nation to search for the potent chemical weapon. Dimitriov was as well taken in as prisoner of the Chinese.<br/><br/>With Dimitriov gone the Republic faced troubling times, even with the election of a new president. The issue was not made better when Dimitriov was murdered in prison by another prison over a fight concerning an apple.<br/><br/>Now, the Republic is stricken with intense crime and a security force stretched thin. Polish involvement has lead to the formation of a Polish paramilitary group in Moscow which has assumed direct control of the city, kicking the Republic out of their proposed future capital and sending it back to Yakenterinburg. To top it off, the Republican governments funds are dry and they have little actual economy to speak of, much of it run openly illegal as criminal organizations manifested over the country, often with more power than the actual government itself.<br/><br/>These organizations are as well united under the Mafiya umbrella.<br/><br/>EASTERN SIBERIA<br/><br/>Eastern Siberia is the Chinese-backed region of Russia. Since the break down of the earlier communist revolution it had become a home for traditional Bolsheviks living in country. Where the west saw revisionism in the philosophy to form the Neo Boleshevik movement, the east had largely gone unchanged. Though Chinese influence in the 70's had introduced Houist ideology that created a significant movement towards the Chinese path.<br/><br/>The movement attracted the interest of a man by the name of Nikolov Nitski, who openly fought the Russian Government through the late 60's. In the 70's he approached the Chinese requesting assistance to fight the Empire. Seeing a opening to cut down their northern rival, the Chinese government agreed to assist him and his “Russian-Mongolian Socialist Movement”.<br/><br/>Through the 70's and on to the day the Czar died, the RMSM made significant bounds in the underpopulated and guarded Russian Far-East. It laid claim to a massive corridor of countryside and Russian towns and braced itself as an early leading player in the Russian breakdown that came.<br/><br/>For this, the Republic of Eastern Siberia staged itself as being the premier, organized power in the post-Imperial Russian world. Though lacking in manpower of influence – being no where near Moscow or Saint Petersburg – greatly weakened its position and ensured a slow growth. Never the less, Nitski was energetic and he doubled his territorial claim through 1971 and 1972. His mission slowed through 1973 and 1975 as he turned internally to address matters in his territory.<br/><br/>China recognized the Siberians as their own nation and they joined the Asian Socialist Bloc, later the Third International.<br/><br/>The Siberian invasion of the Russian Republic in 1975 and 1976 ended unsuccessfully. Though making territorial gains it was hardly enough as he saw fit, and it introduced to the communist state a growing popular movement called the Russian Ressurection, which believed that Russia should be united under a single, mysterious person known as the Ressurector.<br/><br/>The protests and armed uprisings dotted the Siberian geography until Nikolov decided to move to humor the protestors. Looking to the Republic as a way to end the rioting he sucked in his pride and went west to meet them. Though before leaving he sold Primorsky Krai and Sakhailan to the Chinese to deny any unification the Pacific ocean, as well as a backup plan should he need to stage a second revolution.<br/><br/>The talks however didn't go anywhere and merely wasted Nikolov's time. He remained in the west for several months before returning east. However.<br/><br/>On return, he realized to his dismay Siberia had fallen apart. Ressurectionists and other groups had overwhelmed the state and broken it down into a number of small petty-nations, like the rest of Russia or India. The most notable nation was the Yakut-Turkic state of Sakha.<br/><br/>Nikolov spent the next four years regaining power among the fractured communes. Either through diplomatic of military pursuits. Chinese interests helped see to the elimination of the Sakha nation in 1979.<br/><br/>With Eastern Russia reformed, Nikolov looks west to finish his dream. And behind him Chinese tanks thunder.<br/><br/>MAFIYA<br/><br/>Though not a nation, the loose coalition of criminal organizations known as the Mafiya stands as one of the strongest, anarchistic representative of the current state of Russia. Combining grotesque imagery with mysticism and a twisted sense of Russian Orthodox spirituality, the Mafiya does not seek a formal reorganization of the Russian state like the nations that are left to linger. They instead seek to see their power advanced outward, and profit increased.<br/><br/>The Mafiya is a loose coalition of large or small criminal gangs throughout Russia, Russian speaking areas, or former Russian territories. The Mafiya specializes in a long list of enterprises, from extortion, murder, human trafficking, and drugs. But the most prominent has been the scale of their distribution network for heroine, opium, and meth.<br/><br/>Capitalizing on the market left behind by the former Chinese Opium empire the Red Guard Gang (which was born out of corruption that had been burned out of China in the 70's and persisted until 1976 when Chinese agents found and assassinated Red Guard Gang leaders) the Mafiya has pressed itself as the largest criminal enterprise in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.<br/><br/>It has as well come to produce and distribute a cut and deadlier version of Heroine, going by the name of Alkonost on the streets of Russia. The effects of which is best exemplified in the real-life effects of Krokodile.<br/><br/>The Mafiya is layered on an almost feudal system. There are many leaders styling themselves as king with a number of lords, distributors, and enforcers under them. Each Mafiya boss approaching his trade with a sadistic style of action and dress, with one particular group going so far as to wear the heads of horses as masks.<br/><br/>What unites the gangs are a mutual respect for each other through the trade or territorial understanding. Though this would still bring them to blows at times, the figure that looms above all else is the commonly invoked figure by the name of “Bog”.<br/><br/>Loaning his name and title for the Russian word for God, Bog controls the conduct of the Mafiya bosses to prevent complete self destruction from within. His will his never made known directly, but through men who enforce it for him: the Warriors of Heaven.<br/><br/>Both the Mafiya bosses and Warriors of Heaven though conduct their murders and aggression in a theatrical and highly visible manner. Neither shying away from displaying kills in public places, arranged in the shape of crosses or other portraits of death.

The Commonwealth had only been named a dominion of the British Empire seven years before that great conflict began. A temporary seat of government was established in 1901 in the city of Melbourne. When news came that Great Britain had gone to war, the Commonwealth of Australia rallied a force of 400,000 men and sent them off to fight in the Great War. The entirety of Australian Commonwealth forces joined the British on the Western Front. As the war waged, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (simply known as ANZAC) was formed, adding extra manpower to the depleting Commonwealth forces and solidifying command between the two peoples. In 1925, when the Great War was officially brought to an end, it was reported that of the 400,000 Australians who fought in the conflict, 70,000 had been killed and 200,000 more had been wounded. The war had cost the Commonwealth of Australia, however it hadn’t cost them nearly as much as it had cost many other countries. Some people would argue that the Great War had started Australia’s rise to power.<br/><br/><b> The Great Anarchy </b><br/><br/>After the Great War ended, many a war torn country was low on resources that they were in desperate need of. Australia was more than happy to export to these countries, and to loan out funds that would be repaid in full and then some in the long run. The more Australia helped, however, the more other countries demanded assistance as well. Australia began to create more supply to meet this demand, and Australia’s wealth continued to grow. However, this growth was stunted severely by the starting of the Great Anarchy across the British Empire. The Commonwealth of Australia watched as other dominions of the British gained their independence. The state of Western Australia was the first state to threaten succession when the Great Anarchy began. Prime Minister Stanley Bruce, however, refused to allow Western Australia to leave the British Empire. Many people questioned the Prime Minster’s faith in the Crown; however the Prime Minster’s stubborn attitude allowed him to gain the support of many of his colleagues, including Governor-General Lord Stonehaven. Stonehaven led the fourth Australian Brigade into Western Australia when riots broke out. The riots were put down without a shot being fired, and Stonehaven was praised for his good leadership during the crisis.<br/><br/>The Great Anarchy continued to affect the people of the Commonwealth; however support for the British was highest in the Oceania colonies than in any other region. This can be attributed to the various pro-British Prime Ministers who took office during the Great Anarchy. There were many more riots and attempts to overthrow the Australian regime, however they were all put down with brutal efficiency. The Australian government had to keep up a constant propaganda campaign to keep the populace supporting a return of power for the royal family. Little to no information came from the United Kingdom until the 1940s, when the Commonwealth was officially disbanded. After the Commonwealth was disbanded, Australia’s leaders were ousted by the people for wasting their time. A vote was held, and the majority of the Australia’s people wanted to create their own parliamentary monarchy. Eventually they decided to start a ‘new’ royal line, using Linda Burbanks, who claimed to be a distant relative to one of the members of the royal family. She became Queen Elizabeth II, and the Kingdom of Australia was born. Other surrounding colonies recognized Queen Elizabeth’s authority, including Fiji and New Zealand.<br/><br/><b> The New Kingdom, the Civil War and the New Commonwealth of Australia </b><br/><br/>The fledgling monarchy did well in its first few years of existence. The people gave the new royal family their full support, and everything seemed to be going well. That is until word arrived that a Prime Minister named Christian Brent had started attempting to reform the British Empire. By this time, all support for the British had been trampled by a wave of nationalism that started when Australia became its own governing power. There were the occasional rebel movement, however, that attempted to throw out the false royal line and secure Australia back for the British. These movements always failed, however they continued to grow in strength as the years passed. In 1972, when Sir Owen Pyke restored the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, the rebellion came to its peak. Governess Mary Chars declared that the Commonwealth of Australia should be restored, and deserted the Kingdom of Australia. The governors of Western Australia, South Australia, and Tasmania declared their support for the Governor-General, and joined his rebellion.<br/><br/>The civil war lasted two years; two long years of guerilla warfare and death. The war took the lives of 10,000 civilians, and 20,000 military personnel. Tens of thousands more people were injured during the conflict. The civil war ended when Elizabeth II and her two children were assassinated, ending the royal line and causing a major morale issue within the Kingdom. Governor-General Mark Chapman, the newly elected leader of the rebellion, formed an armistice with the Prime Minster of the Kingdom of Australia. The Commonwealth of Australia was to be restored, with Chapman at its head, and the Kingdom of Australia would be abolished. For the next six years, Chapman worked to rebuild Australia and restore peace and order to the region. Eventually, public opinion of Chapman became more positive as he restored parliament to power and prepared to step down as Governor-General. However, the populace of Australia did not wish for Chapman to step down, and instead appointed him as their head of state for life.<br/><br/>With peace restored, the Commonwealth of Australia has begun its plan to restore the old British Empire to its rightful place. The first act of business would be to contact the United Kingdom and the various colonies that used to belong to the British…"

<br/><b>Faction</b> - Georgian Guard (Georgia)<br/><br/><b>Leader</b> - Davit Patarava<br/><br/><b>Faction Type</b> - Militia<br/><br/><b>Backstory/Bio</b>-<br/>Georgia has been a turbulent state since the Turkish invasion in 1970. Russia abandoned it's former possession in it's time of need and left the Caucasus to it's own weakened armies. They weren't strong enough. Although the Georgians lasted a few weeks longer than the Armenians, it wasn't to last. The Turks overthrew the 'corrupt' republic that had stood for 14 years, burned the flag, publicly executed the entire Georgian government and ripped the constitution to shreds, all in the horrified eyes of a large crowd. The Ottoman Flag was flown proudly above the remains of Georgian independence in Freedom Square and the Turks were quick to introduce changes to region. Islam was promoted while the local Orthodox Christian religion was suppressed. Revolts and protests were punished swiftly and brutally. Ottoman governor's were placed around the country and they grew fat from Georgian labour and goods. In 1976, it all changed.<br/><br/>While the ASF were fighting their war against the Ottomans in Armenia, similar revolts sprouted in Georgia, inspired by the ASF's vision of a better future. The former Georgian army re-organised itself into a secret society and began a campaign against the Ottoman governors and soldiers. It proved highly popular among the Georgian populace, who disliked the promotions of Islam and the brutality of the foreign soldiers. After 7 months of fighting and espionage across the country, the Turks were pushed from Georgia and eventually, the Caucasus. A temporary government of leaders of the resistance was set up and they promised elections within the month. But they never came. Faced with ethnic revolution in Abkhazia, border attacks from Dagestan, high unemployment, a high crime rate and the fact that none of these people knew how to run a country, the government collapsed in late 1976. A 'rush for Georgia' began, as Dagestani's poured over the north-eastern border and Ossetian over the northern border. To this day, the north is still occupied by Ossetian/Dagi backed warlords. The country was split into bickering warlords, most who were former members of the temporary government, rich men looking for power and occasionally foreign backed, non-Georgian warlords. Each warlord claims his turf is the real Georgian Republic successor, although often it is a simple authoritarian military dictatorship. They inhabit cities and occasionally entire regions. The Georgian lira, having little value outside of Georgia, is still used in Georgia as a currency by all warlord 'states'. <br/><br/>The Georgian Guard was set up in the port city of Batumi by Davit Patarava in early 1977 as a 'home guard' militia, aiming to protect the citizens of eastern Batumi from hostile warlords, foreign forces and bandits that inhabit the countryside. The Guard was originally set up by Davit after his wife and second child were attacked, raped and killed by a drunken squad of rogue soldiers. Davit gathered his friends together and they hunted down the soldiers in retaliation. The soldiers were later found with smashed skulls, Glasgow smiles and broken knees in a ditch. None were alive.<br/><br/>The Guard was formed by this circle of friends and now operates across Batumi, as an anti-warlord force protecting the people from brutality and helping the community (Almost like the Neighbourhood Watch, only without the fully-automatic machine guns and hatred of hoodies.) They are an apolitical group, caring only for the people of Georgia. They can boast a growing membership, an arsenal consisting of every weapon from shotguns to slingshots <span class=""bb-strike"">to nukes</span>, several successful attacks on the warlord and strong support from the people. The Guard has achieved notoriety among the warlords as a troublesome group that attacks in hit-and-run tactics. At the moment, there are no plans to revive the Republic of Georgia from the Guard. However, they strongly support overthrowing the current warlord in the area due to the high taxes on imported food, lack of representation for the Georgian people and the increased brutality of soldiers. Davit, a grim, older man, came out of obscurity to form this group and currently spends all his days dedicated to the Guard. What he did before the Guard is only known amongst his close friends and his surviving son, Giorgi Patarava. The group has gained much popularity among the cities lower classes and is known to be in contact with other organisations in Georgia, such as the nationalist Georgian National Front and the communist-leaning People's Liberation Force of Georgia. As tensions grow in Batumi between the Guard and the local warlord, it looks as though civil war may break out. And with the growing power of a republican groups, Georgian anarchy is looking to end.<br/>

During 1919 with Austria-Hungary on the decline Serbian forces that had been exiled to Greece made their move and reentered Serbia, beginning a liberation movement against the Austrian occupation. The movement was successful in undermining the occupation of Serbia but actually failed to force the Austrian forces out of Serbia. The liberation of Serbia finally came in 1922 with the collapse of Austria-Hungary and the help of Bosnia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Herzegovina who had rebelled from Austria and formed there own countries. The liberated Serbia united with Bosnia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Herzegovina to form Yugoslavia. The new union set its goals to rebuilding Serbia and industrializing it. The remained out of The Great War after Austria collapsed and took more neutral stances toward diplomacy and war.<br/><br/>During the 1950s Bojan Boris wanted to see nationalistic, imperialist, and autocratic ideals rise, called his new set of ideals Bojanism it saws its rise in Serbia, Kosovo, and Montenegro. Serbia wanted to see Bojanism as Yugoslavia's main ideal, however the other states were seeing a rise of Socialism and it was quickly becoming the dominate ideal for Yugoslavia. Not wanting to see Socialism take over Yugoslavia Serbia split, taking Kosovo and Montenegro with it, which formed into just Serbia. The new Serbia promptly tried to invade Yugoslavia and force Bojanism upon it, but they were quickly repulsed by the forces of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia became known as The Yugoslavian Union of Socialist States, while Serbia began biding its time and building its military. There were reforms throughout Serbia that led to a Dictatorship put in place, and many Bojanist ideals becoming the policies of the nation.<br/><br/>Come 1974 Bojan Borris died, and Alexsandar Borislav took control as the Dictator of Serbia. He was credited with making a swift decision about Swiss's debt early on in his regime. Alexsandar Borislav began reforming Serbia, choosing reforms he though would lead to a more ideal society. One of these included Public Health care and schools, and benefits for the poor and unemployed. He was heralded for being even greater the Bojan as a leader of Serbia, and he began making plans to reunite Serbia with Yugoslavia, its time over due to recognize Bojanism as its one true ideal.<br/><br/>Come 1978 was a bit of a celebration for the Bojanist Part and Alexsandar in Serbia. Yugoslavia was finally collapsing, and split into multiple states. While united Yugoslavia was to strong for Serbia to take over, it was in pieces, with most of the countries suffering from losses of resources and revolts. Bojanism saws its rise again as the people of Serbia wanted to see Yugoslavia united with Serbia once again."

Tolbert, Jr<br/>History: The Republic of Liberia is a ex-privately funded colony of freed African-American slaves from the United States and England, long time backed by the United States to keep its independence from the colonial superpowers. Since the end of the Great War, Liberia has been in a precarious position. Completely surrounded by France and England, and now Spain, has left its government on edge. The lack of American support in more recent years have done little to calm their fears. In an attempt to secure them selves, Liberia turned to France and England for support in 1958, which were both declined. Liberia was now alone on a continent of Superpowers(and Ethiopia). In an attempt to promote internal stability, President Tolbert proposed a new law, The Shanniquelle Charter, which enforced the native people of Liberia's equality with the Americo-Liberian minority that had ruled the country since it's inception. The natives, who had been fighting for this for a long time, accepted the law. Even prominent members of the Kru and Kpelle groups vocalized their support for the charter, saying ""This is a step forward for our people, finally in a country where we do the work, we get recognized and respected for it.""<br/><br/>However, the Americo-Liberians hardly enforced the law, despite Tolbert urging them to do so. Only a few small towns and segments of Monrovia currently enforce the law, and most of the time its only partially.<br/><br/>Tolbert has also increasingly opened Liberia up for foreign investment, attracting companies in Sweden and the Netherlands, and even Brazil to start low-level construction and infrastructure improvements, as well as increasing Liberia's archaic power grid. Swedish Company '<i>Sandvik Coromant</i>' set up a large mine near Mt. Tokade, employing Liberian workers to work the mine for the iron ore deposits. Liberia also has large rubber production potential, but since the shutdown of Firestone in Liberia, Rubber production has been taken over by small scale Dutch companies, having left Indonesia for Liberia.<hr/>So in the end, I changed the history a bit, not anything to make Liberia stronger, just to make Liberia's current economy a bit weaker but yet more reasonable. Anything you guys think I should fix/change?"

Poland seems like a pretty clean slate though, and actually makes some sense. Plus with some new people joining in, I figure now's the best time to try and make an effort. I honestly understand you thinking I'm going to just sign up, make a post or two, and leave. I mean, I'd assume the same thing.<br/>

Six years were devoted to developing what would be the new government of Palestine once it was free from the Ottoman Empire that occupied the country currently. While developing the governments structure and political boundaries the Organization was also simultaneously preparing Palestinian people for combat against the Empire.<br/><br/>The Guerrilla Organization recruited males and females privately through the many towns, villages, and cities within the area. These males and females were then trained as best they could for covert operations that typically would involve sabotage or ambushes. The Organization received aid from various sources within the population and even some influential people in the Ottoman Empire who wish to see it fall.<br/><br/>From January to Early April of 1980, Natalia Hayaat had been given the name ""Palestine's Sunbird"", a bird with national significance and she was seen as the one to lead the Palestine people to freedom. She began her campaign that had been planned for six years. Her Guerrilla Organization received the orders to carry out their objectives simultaneously all across Palestine with the Palestinian people at her side. Quickly after, news of Palestinian victories began occurring in the streets of many Palestinian towns and cities.<br/><br/>Palestinian operations ranged anywhere from cutting supply lines of the Empire in order to cause difficulties in maintaining their base of operations in certain areas, all the way to ambushing patrols and convoys, raiding military facilities and weapon caches, kidnapping and interrogating Ottoman Officials for information.<br/><br/>Within months of the plan being ignited, the Ottoman Empire began collapsing in on itself and had found themselves stretched too far to deal with the Palestinian coup, having been stretched too thin is also why the Palestinian coup was not spotted and recognized before its overwhelming activity. The Ottoman Empire surrendered its holdings and began running back to protect their homeland. News of other Middle Eastern powers were heard rising and forming the necessary borders that represented their people.<br/><br/>Just as Natalia Hayaat found victory in driving the Ottoman Empire out, she was confronted with another power. Syrian Guerrillas who were leading the revolts against the Ottoman Empire in Syria who were looking to take land that stretched all the way to the Mediterranean. This proved to be a problem with what the Palestinian people were looking to establish.<br/><br/>Natalia Hayaat began fierce negotiations with the Syrian Guerrillas. Both would do more harm than good to their people if they were to go to war. They both were not in a position to take one another on due to the wounds still healing from the recent fighting with the Ottoman Empire. Lines were established and Palestine even cooperated to take less land then they asked for.<br/><br/>April 12th, 1980 - Declaration of Independence is written and the State of Palestine is born, it is a place where the Palestinian people may all have a voice in the affairs of Palestine's future. President Natalia Hayaat is voted in as Palestine's first president at the age of 34. Her vision is quickly implemented and a government along with a military is forged. Palestine, although in the infant stage of their country, have already leaped bounds in a world full of chaos. The goal now is to secure their borders and mark their spot in history.<br/><br/><i>""Today we witness the beginning of an end, an end to oppression, an end to tyranny, an end to foreign control, today we witness the beginning of our freedom, the beginning of our generations light and that light will shine for generations to come, today we witness the beginning of our State, the State of Palestine, where all of us are Palestine's Sunbirds!""</i>- President Natalia Hayaat during a speech before the signing of the Declaration, also broadcast'd over several radio stations."

Brazils largest and oldest company was also established during this time, Otero Arms & Armor.<br/><br/>In 1925, The Great War ended and Brazil begins to pull back to the home shores. Brazil decides to maintain a strong influence around South America with its Navy returning home . A decision to build the economy and military was set after the end of the war to make sure Brazil would be ready for future conflicts.<br/><br/>In 1930, drugs began making their way into Brazil from across neighboring countries primarily Columbia. 10 years of drug trafficking had occurred before the Brazilian Government finally could no longer look the opposite direction and was forced to put resources into stopping the increase in drugs. During this time a bid from the military was put out to find a company that would equip the new men and women who would fight the drug war. Otero Arms and Armor had won the bid, sliding by the Calvo Weapons Corporation.<br/><br/>In 1940, the government answered the drug situation with creating a National Intelligence and S.W.A.T. Agency called Garra who was equipped with the contract Otero had. This agencies mission is to work domestically and to operate behind or on neighboring borders. The Garra would decrease the drugs being hauled over the borders of Brazil and would later be a key reason to why Brazil would wish establish the SAC.<br/><br/>In 1956, the Garra were having issues with keeping track of all operations and the agency had split into so many sub units that there was no organization even if the units and agency were doing their job. In order to organize and create an even more effective way of conducting activities, the agency was split. The Garra would conduct behind the bordering countries and right on the borders of Brazil. The split agency would be called the Brazilian Security Force. A military organization designed to keep the peace across Brazils most populated cities and towns. Another bid was sent out to equip the Brazilian Security Force, OAA shot for the chance as well at this contract but was in fact beat out by Calvo Weapons Corporation, this placed them back on the drawing board.<br/><br/>1960, the economy of Brazil is beginning to rise as the drugs and crime have begun to fall. Brazil takes to a zero tolerance policy when it comes to breaking the law. Although some would see it as ruthless, Brazil sees it as a necessary action in deterring and halting drug lords and criminals alike. Check points are many throughout Brazil, Brazils borders are constantly watched, and so are the cities within. Here, however there is a growing middle class with new jobs arising from expanding businesses.<br/><br/>In 1975, an investigation of a drug lord had a large break through in finding out where a majority of the drugs were coming from. Although it was not a surprise, it was enough evidence to show Brazils case in why something had to be done. The country serving the problems was none other than Columbia. Brazil looked to form the SAC in order to work together in stopping the drugs in Columbia and boosting South Americas Economy as a whole.<br/><br/>In 1976, Brazil started SAC (South American Confederation): A confederation that united South America through a system of alliances and open trade. Through a tentative alliance with Ethiopia, they openly questioned Spain and its expansion into the Ivory Coast, but nothing came of it. Brazil is an economic capitalist nation, but socialist elements have began to gain a political foothold in the country. Brazil, along with other SAC members, launched an operation in Columbia to root out drug lords.<br/><br/>1980, Brazil has elected their new President due to the previous Administrations term ending. President Evelyn Vera Alaverez, born in Rio De Janeiro, the first female President of Brazil , promising to continue the vision of the people.<br/><br/>Government Structure: Republic<br/><br/>Military: Brazilian Armed Forces, Commander Thiago Delgado<br/><br/>Brazils Naval and Intelligence Organization - This organization or branch falls under the command of the BAF as does the others. The Brazilian Naval and Intelligence Organization or BNIO, soul purpose is to deal with foreign powers at a military level across international waters.<br/><br/>Brazils Army - This part of the Armed Forces is used when invading foreign lands, it is not a standing military but does have special operation units within it that are full time. These units are typically taught from the already Drug War veterans but for foreign combat instead of domestic. The Army is formed when Brazil finds it necessary to pull to war.<br/><br/>Brazil Security Force - This is where a majority of the army will be pulled from if a declaration of war is summoned. The security forces are active throughout all of Brazil and have designated teams that will go to the army if called, and ones that will remain as a Security Force. There are over 50 different special force units in this branch due to its constant battle with the war on drugs all over Brazil.<br/><br/>Garra - They operate in Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Panama, and Costa Rica, they are Brazils gate keepers and have constant operations behind enemy lines and just inside the borders of Brazil. They deal with drug lords, underground political figureheads and organizations. They also have jurisdiction in all of Brazil even if they do not typically operate inside Brazil."

I would understand that there'd be little Ukrainians or Germans, but Russians would still be a significant minority provided they weren't all run off to the last man during the revolution. What I meant by the demographics of the region is that the Uzbeks, not the Kazakhs, are the most populous of the Turkic peoples in the area. No group represents a majority, or even comes close. Turkestan would be the best name, but even that excludes the Iranian Tajiks and the dozens of tiny minorities like the Kurds that came through with the Persians, or the Tatars that were introduced alongside the Russians (as well as existing in the area before the Russian Empire existed).<br/><br/>Central Asia is far from being homogeneous in any which way."

Can someone help me?)<br/><br/>Nation: Hungary (Magyarország).<br/>Leader: President Adél Bak.<br/>History: Hungary didn't want to be in the Great War, but since they were part of the Austrian - Hungarian Empire they didn't have a choice. They joined the Central Power when the war began, fighting off Serbia and Romania for gaining land within Hungary. Realizing that this war was getting too costly, they protested about the war at the Hofburg Palace with pitchforks, Charles I through that they were going to kill him. So, Charles told the guards to open fire on the protesters and they went outside and fired at the protesters. Twenty people died due to the Charles' choice and it is called, The Hofburg Massassce. After hearing the news, Hungarians rebelled against Austria and fought the military until 1922. Charles I officially surrendered to the Allies after protesters were at his gate and fired at the palace.<br/><br/>After the war, Hungary lost its only sea port at Fiume and the industrial base from its sources of raw materials in The Treaty of Versailles. It caused Hungary's economy to collapse, but some people have hope. A few months later, a revolt happened for which party would be the main one. Protesters choice sides and fought each other until one stool over anyone else. The remaining parties were The Hungarian Socialist Party and The Hungary Parliamentary, calmed the people and held a vote for which is the party that Hungary was going to be. And In 1929, The Parliamentary Party won by sixty-four percent, while Socialist Party lost by forty-six percent, the people were happy with the votes either know some say that the votes were rigged. The President and Prime Minister were voted a year later, Don Csonka and Alfréd Bakó won by sixty-two percent and entered office.<br/><br/>President Don Csonka's first task was to restore the economy, industrialized the nation once more, and help the people out. He is called 'The Greatest President in Hungarian History' for a reason: he pulled the country out of bankruptcy, he gave women rights in 1931, improved factories and farms, child labor was banned, and improvements in the army and air forces were made. During his second term: he increased the value of Hungary's imports, he formed all ten national parks, ten landscape protection areas, and fifty minor nature reserves within four years, he restored eight of the landmarks within Hungary, and improved relations with other countries (most countries on the Allies' side). The people were upset when his terms were up, but he later when to service as Prime Minister and was on the National Assembly until he retired in 1970 at the age of 75.<br/><br/>When Hungarian was planning to invade Ukraine in '76, they send fake files about Ukraine attacking Poland to trick them. It did work as their relation decreased and Hungary attacked the Ukraine in July. The Hungary army was divided into two main branches, a northern one heading for Lviv and later Kyiv and a southern one aiming for Odessa and Crimea. The southern forces did not get very far due to logistical problems, but the northern branch managed to advance very deep into the Ukrainian territory and captured Lviv, forcing the Polish to act quickly. In a series of aerial and artillery strikes the Hungarian forces near advancing to Lviv were decimated and forced to retreat. Then The Bloodly Nights happened and that ended the war on Poland and Ukraine, on April, 13, 1970.<br/><br/>After the war, Don Csonka was ashamed for the country's army and ability to fail at capture Ukraine (which they joined Poland). His dying words were that he was ashamed to be Hungarian and died due to natural causes. The President felt ashamed of Don's last words and dropped out of officer in April, 25 and the Prime Minster became President. Adél Bak was the granddaughter of Don Csonka and many believed that she could become like Don, but she has doubts. A few days later, Hungarians celebrate fifty years since Don Csonka entered officer and Adél plans to give a speech on that day."

The Russians had wisely chosen an early exit from the large-scale European conflict, and this exit allowed for the Tsar to consolidate his power throughout the empire. The communists in the Russian Empire were either killed or forced into exile, nearly to the last man, and Central Asia did not escape the Tsar's reactionary onslaught. Communism had gained an early foothold in the small towns and villages of the homeland of the Turkic peoples, the idea of total equality and harmony finding no shortage of supporters among the diverse and often bickering peoples of Turkestan, who saw the ideology as a way to both resolve their differences with each other as well as cease the continuation of Russian imperialism. This early entrenchment required special action be taken in Central Asia by the Tsar's army to remove the threat that the ideology posed to order within the empire. Repression became particularly brutal; in many cases, especially in the north, towards the border with the motherland, entire towns were either killed or cleared out and dispersed to completely remove any communist element that was known to operate in them. These first reprisals ushered in a wave of emigration from Turkestan, particularly by communist sympathizers. A good many of these emigrants fled to China, where they mixed with the Turkic minorities already present in the country and help stir up the fever in the Chinese interior that would help lead to the overthrow of Sun Yat-sen's government.<br/><br/>Within Russian Turkestan, though, the reprisals were largely successful. Sentiment towards communism slowly began to wane as the Russians worked to isolate the mentally vulnerable Turkics from the infectious idealism that the communists had to offer. The same could not be said for anti-Russian sentiment, though. The actions of Russian soldiers in Central Asia during the defeat of the revolutionaries sparked a heated and passionate hatred among many Turkics for not only Russia, but imperialism in general. Throughout the twenties and thirties, anti-Russian sentiment in Central Asia continued to rise, with the peoples of Turkestan growing more and more violent against Russian authority, and the Russians proving less and less capable or willing to crack down. Ethnic Russians and Russian sympathizers were reviled and hated by the increasingly hostile native Turkics, and by the time of the late thirties, it was difficult for a Russian to dwell any distance from the main cities without getting attacked. To attempt to curb the unrest, Russian authorities attempted to appeal to the perceived religiosity of their Turkic subject-peoples, and created the Muslim Council of Turkestan. The Muslim Council attracted pro-Russian Turkic Muslims, and attempted to use religious leaders to capitalize off of the fact that the Russians had been largely tolerant of Islam in Central Asia, and thereby curb violence against Russian authority by a mass appeal to faith. The Muslim Council of Turkestan would end up proving fatal to Russian presence in the region, and severely damaging the reputation of both leaders of Islam and Muslims in general within Turkestan.<br/><br/>From its earliest days, having been founded in 1943, the Muslim Council was more than just a forum for discussion or a social organization for pro-Russians. The Council was distinctly militaristic, and completely hostile towards the growth of anti-Russian sentiment. It had close ties to Russian authorities, despite officially being independent of the Tsar's reach, and its members became infamous for their no-tolerance policy of public displays of anti-Russian sentiment within the areas that they operated. Members of the Muslim Council, which at its height numbered about a tenth of the total adult male population of Turkestan, would parade through the city-centres of main cities alongside their Russian compatriots, savagely beating and sometimes even murdering anyone who came out against their presence. The Muslim Council preached moderate Islam, but their ferocity and strong ties to the government cemented the view of Islam and its determined, hard-line followers as enemies of an independent Turkestan in the years to come.<br/><br/>On January 1, 1947, the Turkic War of Independence officially began. The Turkic Peoples' Unified Militias, an alliance of various violent anti-Russian groups from the numerous nationalities of Turkestan, launched a coordinated, multi-faceted attack on the Muslim Council headquarters in numerous major cities throughout Turkestan, including Tashkent, Dushanbe, Almaty and Bishkek. Numerous sites of Russian authority were targeted as well, including military outposts in major cities, police stations and prisons. The Muslim Council buildings were torn apart, and in most sites any members inside were killed, alongside their Russian guards. The exception to this was the Muslim Council building in Almaty; the Almaty Council building was occupied by the TPUM, and everyone inside (including most of the guards) was taken hostage. A siege began which lasted two and a half days, and would become known as the first battle of the Turkic War of Independence. Throughout the siege, the TPUM agents insisted that their sole demand for the hostages to be released was the dissolution of the Muslim Council. The Russians and Council alike were not supportive of the idea. One and a half days of silence after the first demand was given, Russian forces mistook movement near a window for a TPUM soldier lining up to fire on Russian forces. Shots were fired on the window, and one Uzbek Muslim hostage was killed, and a TPUM soldier injured. Minutes afterwards, shots were heard from the Russians inside of the building, and the militia announced that they'd executed all Russian hostages in the complex in retaliation for the shots fired at them. The Russians, intent on ending the crisis swiftly, decided that the time to make a move on the complex was overdue. Their decision proved a poor one, as once the Russians had forced the TPUM soldiers into the upper floor of the building, a bomb was detonated. Over 30 Russian soldiers lost their lives, alongside 22 hostages and around a dozen TPUM operatives. Numerous more Russian soldiers and policemen managing the siege were injured in the blast, and the resulting frenzy over the Russian failure to successfully end the situation resulted in mass public sentiment against the Muslim Council, which led to its formal abolition on January 12. It would not be the last time the organization was heard of, though.<br/><br/>Just before sunrise on February 2nd, the TPUM marked their transition from acts of terrorism and extreme civil disobedience to genuine warfare. Outposts of Russian authority in the sparsely populated north-west of Turkestan were raided, drawing Russian personnel and resources to the remote area to prevent it from becoming a hotbed of rebellious activity. The raids were merely a diversion; once a significant number of soldiers had left the city of Tashkent, in the extreme south of Turkestan, the city was swarmed with more TPUM fighters all at once than the Russian military had first suspected existed altogether. Most of the city's garrison was defeated over the course of the day, and by daybreak of February 3rd, Tashkent, the capital and largest city of Russian Turkistan, was announced as the provisional capital of the newly founded Federation of Turkestan. Enormous nationalist uproar rose throughout the city, and ethnic Russians had their homes and businesses swarmed, and were flushed out of the city in droves by the native Uzbek populace. When the Russians returned in force that afternoon, they were greeted by a city completely and utterly hostile to them. A Russian couldn't so much as approach the city without being assaulted by thunderous screams and a volley of rocks and thrown debris. The chance to strike down so many TPUM operatives all at once was too big of an opportunity for the Tsar's men to pass by, though, and so, after day's planning, the Russian military returned to Tashkent. Heavy urban fighting ensued, with the TPUM making keen advantage of their strong civilian support to set up ambushes for prowling Russian soldiers. Despite extreme losses on both sides, the Russians eventually came out on top, with what would eventually be called the ""Massacre of Tashkent"" marking their first major victory in the conflict. The battle's modern name is very telling. Despite wiping out almost half of the entire membership of the TPUM, and seemingly crushing the Federation in its infancy, the Russians were left with a regional capital in complete disrepair. Combining both civilian casualties from the massacre and the forced removal of Russians before the fighting began, the city of Tashkent was left with over 30% of its civilian population either dead or gone.<br/><br/>The remainder of 1947 was quiet. The TPUM ceased all violent operations and began to focus on recruitment to make up for their loses in Tashkent. The anti-Russian agenda also began to cool in favour of a more general policy of opposition to imperialism, in order to recruit to a wider base that sometimes included former members of the Muslim Council, and even ethnic Russians with Turkic sympathies. The organization also changed in leadership; much of the upper echelon was demoted, and in their place rose Samat Zhandosov: the new commander of the Turkic Peoples' United Militias. Samat was a half-Kazakh half-Uzbek, born in a Tajik village. He spoke most of the principal languages of Turkestan fluently, and helped align all of the various militias within the TPUM together into a more formal fighting force. On February 3rd, 1948, the first anniversary of the Massacre of Tashkent, Samat used his formally trained army to begin the liberation of traditional Tajik and Kyrgyz lands in the south-east of Turkestan. Assisted by civilians that disrupted and spied on Russian troop movements, as well as offering safe-haven to TPUM agents, Samat found his men in loose control of most of Dushanbe and Bishkek within a few days. The pace was gruelling, though, and Russian reinforcements always arrived eventually, if not rapidly. Samat chose to make a very controversial decision that was the first step towards ending the war with Turkestan independent. A cease-fire with Russian forces.<br/><br/>Making a point of appointing either former members of the Muslim Council or ethnic Russians as his representatives, Samat sent a delegation to Tashkent to begin talks with the Russians for pulling out of the two heavily fought over cities in the south-east. Hoping to avoid more massacres like happened in Tashkent, the Russians agreed to the partial cease-fire, pulling out all of their forces from the areas in and around Dushanbe and Bishkek. Most of the lands of the Tajiks and Kyrgz were now free. The status-quo would be maintained for four years, over which time hard-line members of the TPUM split off from the organization and began separate campaigns outside of the liberated area. Samat objected to his compatriots actions, fearing that it could result in reprisals against his men in the south-east of Turkestan. That threat was realized in 1952, when the situation in Turkestan became so violent that the military was forced to stop allowing the de-facto independence of Tajikistan and Kyrgzstan under the Turkic Peoples' United Militias, in order to try and curb violence elsewhere in the country.<br/><br/>It was the shining moment for the TPUM. They were heavily entrenched in the area, formally organized under Samat, and had the assistance of a populace that no longer had any tolerance for Russian military presence in their land. The Russian expeditionary force was soundly defeated in the Battle of Kokand, wherein two separate TPUM forces, one Kyrgz, coming from the north, and the other Tajik, coming from the south, ambushed a Russian division as they began to set up camp in the Uzbek city of Kokand. The Russians had arrived in the town merely in preparation of being split off to battle the northern and southern TPUM forces separately, and the attack happened before they'd been able to properly fortify the town. The Battle was pitched, but the initial TPUM advantage proved enough to eventually force a Russian surrender. The surviving Russian soldiers were stripped of our weapons, ammunition and provisions and forced to walk with their tails between their legs back to Tashkent. The prevailing Turkic army, meanwhile, gathered much of the civilian populace of Kokand and began a march of their own, north-east, to Bishkek. The army stopped along every major settlement along the way to the city, gathering together a massive militia, larger than any that had been gathered all at once by the TPUM before. Once in Bishkek, Samat's army was given a final influx of new men, before proceeding directly to the Kazakh city of Almaty. It would prove to be the most important battle of the entire war.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, while Samat's army was growing in Uzbekistan and Kyrgzstan on their way to Almaty, the TPUM was swiftly losing ground in Tajikistan. Dushanbe was completely surrounded by Russian forces, and before Samat reached Altmaty, the TPUM would be dealt their last major loss of the war with the siege ending in TPUM surrender. Learning their lesson from Tashkent, the Russians were merciful to the people of Dushanbe, but not to the TPUM operatives they'd captured. A tenth were released as a show of peace, sent east to join their brothers in defending the rest of Tajikistan, but they would swiftly find that their homeland was no longer under assault. The Russians had stopped at Dushanbe. Two fifths of the remaining force of captured men at Dushanbe was sent to Tashkent to be avoid the Russian garrison of the city from being overwhelmed. Before the men reached Tashkent, Samat reached Almaty.<br/><br/>The Battle of Almaty more than eclipsed the Turkic failure during the Siege of Dushanbe. The city was the second largest in Turkestan, the Kazakhs' equivalent to Tashkent, and controlling it would leave all of Kyrgzstan firmly controlled, and with more than a quarter of the Kazakh and Uzbek population and half of the Tajik population within TPUM control. It would be a wonderful bargaining position for a peace settlement. Unfortunately for Samat, he would've live to see the battle won. The heroic general died during an encirclement attempt of the city that eventually proved successful. When the Russians sent out a force from the city proper to break the circle, Samat was slain in battle, but the force was wiped out to the last man, and their footsteps traced into the city. Once the city-folk heard of Samat's death, even boys and women started to join in alongside the TPUM, fighting to avenge their fallen hero and fellow Kazakh. The Russians, through superiorly trained and armed, were simply too outnumbered. Once their commander fell, the Russian forces surrendered, and Samat's delegation in Tashkent received news from Almaty telling them exactly what had happened. Discouraged by Samat's death, but highly encouraged by the success at Almaty, the TPUM delegation in Tashkent pressed for peace.<br/><br/>The terms they offered were simple: Immediate evacuation of all Russian military personnel from Turkestan, and recognition from the Russian Emperor of the Federation of Turkestan's independence. The Russian officials in Tashkent, tired of the war and sick of hanging onto territories that cost them much more they gave, reluctantly agreed. On November 2nd, 1952, Russia formally recognized the independence of the Federation of Turkestan. To solidify their surrender, the Russian officials had the hostages held in Tashkent from the Siege of Dushanbe released, and orders were given to the expedition force in Dushanbe to release their prisoners as well, and immediately leave Turkestan. The conclusion of the war, and the events that occurred post-independence, would be made much more complicated by the refusal of the Russian soldiers in Dushanbe to follow their orders. Insistent on defeating the Turkics rather than negotiating with them, the Russian commanders in Dushanbe ordered the execution of their portion of the TPUM prisoners. The Russian forces then moved westward, into Uzbek lands near Samarkand and Bukhara, as well as Turkmenistan, and reforged the Muslim Council of Turkestan in this areas. Most of the citizenry of this region, many of them pro-Russian thanks to a former strong support of the Muslim Council, refused to believe or acknowledge the Treaty of Tashkent. The Muslim Council set up its own militia, comprised mostly of ethnic Turkmen, and dispersed throughout western Uzbek and Kazakh lands, spreading dissent against the newly legitimated Turkic Peoples' United Militia government. It fell to Iskakov Shabdarbayev, Samat's successor, to finish off the last remnants of Russian control in Turkestan.<br/><br/>The pacification began with the capture of the Muslim Council's men hiding in the deserts near the Caspian Sea. Atyrau, a small town along the border of Europe and Asia, north of the northern Caspian coast, was fortified by TPUM soldiers. The TPUM lead a series of patrols along the coasts of the Caspian Sea and the lakes in the area, preventing supply of the Muslim Council's militias by sea, whereas anti-Council sentiment in the towns prevented it from arriving by land. Iskakov effectively used thirst and a blockade of supplies to the desert to earn a Muslim Council surrender. His compatriots in the south had been less crafty—they'd simply sent what was left of Samat's army from the Battle of Altmaty to Samarkand and Bukhara to kill off all of the Russians soldiers remaining there. Both plans were successes in the short term, resulting in both de facto and de jure TPUM control over all of formerly Russian Turkestan. The sloppiness, high casualty rate and perceived barbarity of the TPUM strategy in the south, though, would lead to a persistent anti-TPUM sentiment in southern Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan that continued throughout the post-independence era.<br/><br/>Following the end of war in Turkestan, Iskakov was left as the country's first Leader. Wanting a city with both a central position in Turkestan, a diverse population and a good name as his capital city, Iskakov chose the southern Kazakh city of 'Turkestan'. The city was almost entirely Kazakh, but its small population allowed for it grow and take on new ethnic groups as it spread, becoming more representative of Turkestan as a whole. Iskakov, who have primarily Uzbek heritage, promoted the growth of his new capital, and encouraged immigration of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Turkmen, Kyrgyzs, Russians and other ethnic minorities alike. It was in his first few days in office in Turkestan City that Iskakov ordered the division of Turkestan into seven states, each joined in federation to form the Federation of Turkestan. Iskakov ordered forced relocation of many peoples out of their traditional homelands and into new areas that were now reserved for them. He gave no speciality when he gave his divisions of the land, attempting to ensure that it was divided relatively equally in value and size amongst the states. Despite this, the Kazakhs lost more than any other ethnicity but still managed to be larger than any other two states put together, owing to their peoples' land's predominance in Turkestan. The various Turkic peoples were generally accepting of the land exchanges, sometimes seeing them as autocratic, but ultimately benevolent.<br/><br/>Iskakov would end up ruling Turkestan for ten years, most of which were spent organizing the land and its inhabitants as per his plan, and helping to develop industry and infrastructure in Turkestan after the long and economically devastating war. Upon his death (of natural causes) in 1962, elections were called, as per his mandate, to determine the country's next leader. According to Iskakov's plans, a separate election was to be underwent in each of the seven states, and the seven leaders of each state would convene together to determine the next head of state. The first of these plans went off without a hitch, but the convening of the seven leaders was made difficult when Turkmenistan's leader subsequently declared Turkmenistan an independent state. The six leaders convened and chose one of their own to rule over the country. The man chosen was Kokhir Ibrahimi, a Tajik from the Caspian state. Kokhir determined that the Turkic military, formed out the formalized post-independence TPUM, would not intervene in Turkmenistan. Kokhir also set about writing up a formal constitution for Turkestan, enshrining Iskakov's determinations into law, establishing basic fundamental rights (including language rights) for Turkic citizens, and helping convert Turkestan into a modern nation-state. Kokhir began a period of progressive growth and prosperity for Turkestan, but also warming relations with the communist countries to the east.<br/><br/>The modern day Leader of the Turkic people is Temir Zhumbayev, a Kazakh from the Kazakhstan state in his third month of leadership. Temir was elected on a promise to assert Turkestan's status internationally, specifically including cooling relations with the communists. Temir has made significant improvements to the Turkic Military in his short time in Turkestan City, and seems poised to help cement Turkestan's status a regional power, and expand her influence abroad.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

Sweden capitalized on the war by selling shipments of iron ore and other necessities like food to Germany (whose physical proximity to Sweden made stronger political ties advantageous.) Relying on German ships being mostly in command of the Baltic and its entrances Sweden shipped enough iron ore to Germany that the Swedish economy was notably boosted for the duration of the war. While Entente leveled numerous threats and often covert actions against Swedish shipments damage was negligible and an official declaration of war was never given between Sweden and any Entente nation. However the lasting diplomatic consequences of this later forced Sweden into a post war depression as even though their trade with Germany continued it was nowhere near the levels it had been during the Great War. Sweden underwent a period of unrest and hunger as a result of this depression that culminated in the ousting of its Prime Minister and a complete separation between the monarchy (who some blamed for reinforcing the wartime policy parliament practiced that caused the depression) and the state. The Swedish royal family had most of its estates claimed exempting the royal palace to which the king was left as a figurehead with no technical or symbolic influence on government. This period saw Sweden transition from a Constitutional monarchy where the monarch still had technical power to a representative republic similar to the system established within the United States.<br/><br/><b>PART TWO</b><br/><br/>Unfortunately this governmental change proved little more than a morale booster and proved incapable of ending the depression that would continue until Sweden along with the rest of Europe had mostly picked up the pieces left over from the war and begun forgetting old grudges. Sweden had a slow path to economic stability and during that time maintained a strict policy of neutrality fearing another great war. However by 1960 Sweden had become an export based economy providing a reasonable share of European wood and iron. It was in 1960 that several major undertakings came about. One of these was an effort to modernize an outdated and lacking military on the grounds of protecting its trade routes in the event of another war and for what many feared were turbulent times ahead. While this effort continued in the background another more public endeavor was made to reinforce trade relations with European nations and further the country’s economy. By 1964 this trade endeavor put the Swedish economy in a better position than it had been in before the Great War and brought Norway into a lucrative economic alliance. The rest of the decade followed on a similar note for Sweden, finally in a position to shine the country followed an agenda of economic expansion and civil construction with a slowly progressing modernization of its military.<br/><br/><b>PART THREE</b><br/><br/>Yet in the first year of the new decade, 1970, the world began to change rapidly. Eyes across Sweden were set east the Russian Empire began to consume itself in what was a terrifying display of civil unrest on a scale unseen since the turbulent years following the Great War. It was in this year that budgets and minds began to favour the military over civil projects. A huge jump in production during 1970 lead to the rushed building of newer more modern tanks, ships, and aircraft as well as a recruitment campaign that made the nation’s military larger than ever before. Sweden soon possessed a moderately sized but well suited navy armed with militarized icebreakers and fast moving frigates and corvettes, suited to the Baltic Sea. Newer tank designs and arms were also rushed to troops in the fears of a spillover of violence from the turbulent Finland. Aircraft however were firmly constrained to specs and a few prototypes as the aviation industry in Sweden was merely a shadow of other nations. By 1971 Finland was consumed by conflict and the border was carefully monitored and reinforced by a Swedish government that had grown conservative and was worried about the tensions between China and Spain leading to a larger war which Sweden would find itself in the middle of. These fears were almost confirmed when the Spanish sent their new aircraft carrier into the Baltic, when it was sunk Sweden was on the edge of war. Surprisingly this escalation leads to an end of the violence. It was not long after that Finland and North Finland were divided.<br/><br/>In one of Sweden’s most unexpected moves in 1974 trade relations were formed between North Finland and Sweden, border security was lessened and the public breathed a sign of relief. For now it seemed that things would be stable and the Swedish economy unharmed by war. This trade relationship with North Finland though sometimes strained by objections from Finland proper would continue until north Finland was brought into a political alliance with China itself. An outrage among the more conservative elements of Swedish government lead to a suspension of trade relations with North Finland, termination was spared only by the efforts of the smaller but still influential liberal factions. Sweden was again set into a state of panic and for time legislation considering the outlaw of communist parties was considered. These proposals however were shot down and life continued. In 1978 Birgit August was elected President of Sweden in a surprise swing towards left leaning thought. Military spending was reigned in and proposals to negotiate for the resumption of trade with North Finland have been considered. By 1980 Sweden sits in an unlikely position as a mostly stable nation sitting on one of the most volatile areas in the world. The two communist states to the east of Sweden are unknowns and although anti-Communist sentiment is not as severe in Sweden as it is in Spain political infighting over what to do about them is present."

I also added post-war, pre-this thread history. Enjoy! (I'm also gonna mention that I was tempted to ask for a switch to the U.S., since it seems weird nobody is playing it. But I decided I should just stick to Palestine. I love my eyepatched now-king too much. X3)<br/><br/><b>A Brief History of Palestine</b><br/>Life in Palestine had always been hard under the Ottomans. It was nothing more than a strip of sand connecting to major territories for the Sultan and his men, and was treated like it. The only thing they ever cared about was Jerusalem, which was treated like a trophy, rather than a city where people lived.<br/><br/>So, of course, people had been upset with the Sultan and the entirety of the Ottoman Empire for a very long time. They just never had the strength, or, even, the unity, to do anything about it. So for years, Palestine, or, as it was known in the Ottoman Empire, the Jerusalem-territory, lived in poverty, and could only sit back and watch as the large amount of Turks living in Jerusalem enjoyed a good life, while they withered away.<br/><br/>It would be until Jelal, a young man who had been drafted into and then discharged from the Ottoman army, showed up that something would change. Jelal, using connections he had gained during his time in the army, managed to get into contact with a Persian man who would be able to fuel his rebellion. The only condition was that he needed to have his army before he received the tools.<br/><br/>This was the start of the Palestinian Liberation Army, an underground movement that would eventually rise to a regional power over the Ottomans. Using Jelal, a man who turned against the Ottomans despite the hardships he faced, as the face of it, a rebellion was eventually sparked.<br/><br/>At first, the Ottomans didn't really treat it as anything major. The military base they had set up in Beersheba was the only place in the region where weapons were kept, and not a single weapon was allowed to go missing, otherwise the men on guard duty would be tried for treason. So the Ottomans had safely assumed that this was just a small riot, and only poked at it every once in a while.<br/><br/>So when the word came in that the rebels had taken Beersheba, there was an outrage. Not only did they somehow manage to take over an armed and fortified position, they did so with, or so the Turks thought, nothing in the way of legitimate firearms.<br/><br/>With men already fighting in Armenia, Greece and Syria, as well as enforcing control over Egypt, there was barely anyone that could get to Palestine. And the only way to get to them was to sail troops all the way down to Egypt, since the Syrians blocked their land route. This provided the Palestinians with the perfect chance for success, as the Sultan had ordered that the majority of troops in Palestine were to be stationed in Jerusalem, and to keep the city his at all costs.<br/><br/>Within just a couple of months, the PLA had taken control of the entire Southern part of the nation, and found an ally with Jordan. Knowing well that they had to stop the incoming Ottomans from the Egyptian border, a small group of Palestinians went with the Jordanian army into Sinai, which they would later take complete control of, halting the Egyptian Ottomans from moving in any further. For the PLA, this was considered a checkmate, and a plan was made to take Jerusalem.<br/><br/>Midday, Hebron. The PLA had a diversionary force fake an attack on Jerusalem from the West of the city, while the rest of the army snuck around from the East, into Hebron. At first, all seemed like it was going according to plan, and the army split into three forces upon entering the city. This was to make the entire army seem smaller, and to ensure that they could clean out all Ottomans in the area, leaving none to report to Jerusalem.<br/><br/>But soon enough, the Palestinians would learn that they were wrong. It had seemed that the Ottomans had planned for this, since it seemed all the Turkish troops in Jerusalem were there, vastly outnumbering and outgunning the Palestinians. It got to the point that almost half of the PLA there had been killed, and it seemed like a surefire victory for the Turks.<br/><br/>Then Ras Hassan arrived.<br/><br/>With the help of him and his army, the PLA was able to retake Jerusalem, and everything North of it, as well. Hassan quickly became a hero of the Palestinian people, and a few Palestinians even opted to stay with him, serving as some sort of personal guard. He was considered just as much a hero of Palestine as Jelal, putting him above even the people of Jordan, much to the anger of a few higher ups in the country.<br/><br/>When the Ottomans finally fell, and gave in to the terms of the rebels, Palestine was free. Almost immediately upon gaining their freedom, they agreed to enter into a union with Jordan, strengthening both nations, and aiding the Palestinians against the threats of a now independent Syria, who was claiming that Palestine was to become an extension of their territory.<br/><br/>Jelal, who had taken serious injuries during the Hebron attack, awoke to a free nation. He quickly learned that people were trying their hardest to get him to become the leader of their nation, but he refused. He claimed he was too young and inexperienced to be in control of the nation. But the people didn't listen. They pushed and pushed and pushed until one of Jelals friends and advisers, Zafar, put forward an idea. Since the people were still trying to decide what kind of government their nation should have, and since Jelal didn't want all the power and authority of having absolute control of the nation, Zafar offered up the idea of a constitutional monarchy. With this, they would name Jelal the monarch of the nation, while the people would run the rest of the nation.<br/><br/>After the first vote in Palestine, it was decided. With a whopping eighty-seven percent agreeing to it, Jelal Farsakh become the first monarch of an independent Palestine, which he agreed to, even if it took plenty of talking him into it. Following this, a minister was appointed to each region. Issa Farsoun to Sinai, seeing as he was the head of the operation that took it, and a trusted member of the PLA. Jordan was obviously kept in control of Mahmoud Kawar, and Zafar Al-Hawwash becoming the Prime Minister in Palestine.<br/><br/>Since then, the only major events to happen have been border conflicts with Syria, which, through fierce negotiations, Zafar was and still is keeping from escalating any further. Palestine was also declared a “religiously neutral” and “free” state, mainly following the example of Persia, who they owed all of their early success to.<br/><br/>Now, Palestine is still just fixing up the post-war country, and is to soon finalize it's constitution. The border conflicts in Syria continue, and a minor political conflict is going on with Egypt."

Jordan is part of either Palestine or Syria now. It would be peculiar to undo Chrono's work for Super-Syria because that would mean effectively indian-giving Chrono control of Palestinian canon. I was fine with conceding super-Syria when it looked like Chrono wasn't following us here, but now that he is here things are changed.<br/><br/>So I stand by Chrono on this.

But they're not really a power capable of arguing the point real well or who can take on the entire Japanese Empire (which is open).South Korea is in effect an overseas territory of the greater Japanese Empire and not a wholly independent nation in the same way North Korea is. So if you wanted to play as Second-Best Korea you'd probably need to do some sort of independence movement.<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>It's a Chinese-lead alliance of countries comparable to NATO. But it deals with more than just military stuff. North Korea isn't more tied to it than any other member, it's just a member of it."

I've been thinking/mentioning it on and off in chats and on the old MCF thread since the RP turned three; if not longer.<br/><br/>Carbon Maestro - composer of the song here - is doing limited time commissions. He's charging 75 cents a second for songs 2-5 minutes long, leading to a 90 dollar minimum. I would be a fucking happy man if we can get this. However, at 90 dollars it's enough to make my currently unemployed heart stop.<br/><br/>Iffin' we're interested I could get my PayPal details together so we can pool our money and I can see about a commission from Carbon, if we don't run out of time. As Gorgen said, between four people it'll be a payment of 22.50. But I would need confirmation that four people have the spare funds, or how many there are who'd be interested in seeing a proper Precipice of War theme song made.<br/><br/>His commissions will close when it hits five people.

If not, just tell me what I need to change, and I'll get on it.<br/><br/>Nation:<br/>The Kingdom of Romania<br/><br/>Leader:<br/>King Vlad I of the Romanians<br/><br/>History: Romania entered the Great War with the guarantee of Russian support. For a while, they received just that, managing to push into Transylvania, occupying it for a short while. Meanwhile, down South on the Bulgarian front, things weren't going as well. The Russian aid had managed to secure the Romanians Transylvania, but when aid was requested in the South, Russia refused, leaving Romania and Bulgaria to fight a bloody war, with no ground gained on either side, and the death toll rising and rising.<br/><br/>When Russia backed out of the fight, Romania tried to follow suit. A peace with Bulgaria was secured, but the Austro-Hungarians would not accept it until Romania returned Transylvania, which it refused to do. With it's guardian to the East no longer keeping it safe, the war in Romania quickly escalated. With no aid, and backed into a corner, Romania fought hard for years, eventually agreeing to surrender, unable to withstand the Austro-Hungarian armies alone. The state was quickly occupied, and Romania was added to the list of conquered Balkan states.<br/><br/>A few years later, when Austria-Hungary began to waver, a large group of Romanians revolted, clearing the enemy out of their lands, Transylvania included. Unable to send forces to deal with Romania at the time, a peace was achieved, and Romania finally had it's victory.<br/><br/>At the end of the war, Romania secured it's Northern border, fearing the actions of the now-free Hungarian state. Like everyone else, Romania had suffered greatly, and their deaths totaled an entire 12 percent out of the entire Entente. They gained their territory, but at a grave cost.<br/><br/>Cleanup after the war went as planned, and there were no border incidents with Hungary or Bulgaria. After the oil wells were repaired, money began to flow into the country once more, providing the lifeline the country needed. When Yugoslavia formed, Bulgaria and Romania entered into a shaky alliance, in which they would only aid each other if the Yugoslavians decided to expand. This alliance was strengthened when Hungary attempted to invade Ukraine, and even more so when Ukraine formed a Union with Poland.<br/><br/>As far as economy goes, Romania thrives on it's diamond and jewelry industry, but more so it's automotive industry. In the mid 1950's, there was a boom, and Romanian cars became extremely popular in Eastern Europe. While this was a surprise, it was quickly taken advantage of, and has remained a major source of income to Romania since.<br/><br/>Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, many refugees ended up in Romania, since most of it's neighbors weren't too friendly with Turks, being former holdings of the empire. While it seemed harmless enough at first, it has led to a major homeless problem within the country, to the point that Romania has had to begin turning away people looking to live there.<br/><br/>While still far from a powerful country, Romania is doing quite well for it's part of the world. The King is beloved by the majority, and most people outside of the Turkish transient camps have all the necessary resources to live a decent life. There is a small ring of organized crime in the country, but it doesn't cause enough problems to be seen as a major threat, and the police force is competent in it's work to stop those involved."

So, I can't really talk considering I still haven't posted myself, but you shouldn't really be planning that hard. I mean, if you want, you can. But over-planning stuff isn't necessarily the way to do things right or whatever. If you start to plan things out too much, you might just end up tiring yourself out. It might be better to just have fun with whatever you're doing. Be what GRRM calls a ""gardener"".

I have ideas about what I want to do with all of my stuff as a whole. These are vague ideas and they change when I come up with better ideas, or when somebody suggests something that I think might work better.<br/><br/>Then I have more specific ideas about what I want to do. Could just be a line, or it could be an event. Could be how I want a character to die. I remember some of these and play with them in my head, and some I write down.<br/><br/>So you take something like the Rouge General. I had a plan about how he was going to die, and I knew the general rhythm of the war (when he was going to win and when he was going to lose). But the rest of it I just sort of made up as I went. I had his death scene planned something like a year in real time before I actually wrote it, but most of the other details like where exactly the battles were fought or how they would be won or lost were not really planned at all.<br/><br/>Similarly, I have a general idea on how I want Sahle's arc to end, but i'm not completely sure on how i'm going to get there.

We still have monarchies, with Ethiopia being an established unbroken monarchy and Germany being something of a revolutionary monarchy.

Spain seems more like a state where McCarthyism emanated from the Executive rather than a lower-level politician and has not been successfully rebuked.<br/><br/>But it's difficult to tell, really, because we all have pre-established viewing points that ignore most of our politics and favors a certain few designated leaders.<br/><br/>With Denmark, you have to look at what you have.

Basically, the government would have declared that Dutch ships had entered Danish waters (in the West Indies) multiple times (a claim which was mostly unfounded and overexaggerated by the government for political and casus belli means) and that Suriname was experiencing political turmoil as a result of the onset of the Great Depression and the world-wide separatist/independence movements of the era in regards to colonies. Truthfully, they just wanted the revenue from the rubber, bauxite, gold and tourism of the area.<br/><br/>It's not really a big deal, and I could certainly do without Suriname and a few islands if necessary, but I don't see this as too much of a canon or logic-breaking action."

</blockquote><br/><br/>I was planning on the King's power to be limited to that of a constitution, yes, maybe not a full constitution like that of the United Kingdom. I had also figured that Spain would've maybe rigged the vote so that they could get someone in charge who'll stay Spain's best friend for a very long time. Florenstano is so deep in the pocket of Spain that, that I was planning on he might even put a statue to Stoletto(something like that)."

<br/><br/>Philippines<br/><br/>With the US territories in the Philippines being lost to nationalistic revolution the Congress saw a means to enforce continuing Chinese influence, and to stamp out the potential of growing conservatism. After Tibet in 1970 they approved for the deceleration of war on Japan for Taiwan and the Philippines for the restoration of order based on a large-scale plan by the Chinese military circles.<br/><br/>Several million soldiers of the NPC Liberation Army and Navy – NPCLA and NPCLN respectively – landed on the shores of Taiwan and defeated the Imperial army in short order. Following soon after NPCLA and NPCLN forces engaged nationalist rebels shortly after their deposition of the US military on the island of Luzon. The conflict in Luzon spanned on into 1971 and involved one engagement with the US Navy as they sought to reconquer the Philippines. However, the US were forced to back off of the war to deal with the growing First North American War.<br/><br/>Peace in the Philippines arrived later that year. Peace with Japan solidified Chinese rule over Taiwan when the war boiled in Japanese Korea, forcing the Japanese to recognize an independent government in northern Korea based in Pyongyang.<br/><br/>Through 1975-1976 they had begun assisting Luzon in the acquisition of Mindanao. The year-and-a-half war was a grueling guerillas conflict against religious fanatics and ultra-nationalists. Though economic isolation combined with the poor nature of the economic disposition of the island had largely destroyed any attempt at a centralized authority. The only formal power they warlords of the island had was in that of the Pope of Mindanao, who fancied himself the true Pope as opposed to the one in Rome.<br/><br/>As well as being Anti-Chinese the Mindanese were anti-Europe through the Pope and critical of the Europeans for their lack of rescue from China.<br/><br/>The Pope of Mindanao was eventually cornered and assassinated by Chinese agents on the French colonial island of Niku Hiva. The war in Mindanao ended shortly after as Luzonian and Chinese troops swarmed Davao.<br/><br/>Several million soldiers of the NPC Liberation Army and Navy – NPCLA and NPCLN respectively – landed on the shores of Taiwan and defeated the Imperial army in short order.

</div><br/><br/>The Philippines are in the Chinese sphere as a member of the Comintern. Though there have been a few things that would make them bitter (particularly the assassination of the rebel leader and self-proclaimed Pope) the Philippines do largely rely on the Chinese for their defense in the region against Imperial Japan and to keep a policing effort in the rather ruinous southern island of Mindanao."

This of course caused a lot of unrest among the people, who demanded the Government stop catering to the large corporations and start catering to the people. These demands went largely ignored, until Justin Ducharme spearheaded a campaign to put a stop to what he claimed was ""a crime against the Canadian people"" by their own Government.<br/><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><b>Montréal:</b><br/> Ducharme's campaign would start in Montréal, where he would practically take over the City's management when even the police force, who had gone largely unpaid for too long, turned against the Mayor. The take over was almost entirely bloodless, recording no loss of life, very few injuries, and ended in the resignation of the Mayor. Quickly, Ducharme would get to work in setting the city on the path to revitalization, declaring that no government would be officially reformed until the matter was fully settled. Under his guidance, the people were given a system where they could report, organize and tackle any issue that came up within the city proper, putting the large homeless and jobless population back to work again. Within a month, the surrounding farmlands and smaller towns were annexed by the revolutionaries.<br/><br/><b>Québec:</b><br/> It certainly did not end there, however, as Ducharme quickly moved on to Québec City to help end the revolts in a peaceful manner, through charm and wit he put an end to the violence and quickly convinced the regional government to resign - allowing Ducharme, with the support of the people, to annex the whole Province of Québec. Of course, with large amounts of land under their control, the revolutionaries needed more then just a system to repair infrastructure, and Ducharme would put a lot of emphasis on the importance of trasportation and distribution of resources.<br/><br/><b>Old Canada:</b><br/> In response to losing an entire province, the Government and their Corporate backers, who had thus far been content to leave the masses to their own devices while they make as much of a profit as possible, decided that this rebellion was unacceptable and took the means necessary to prevent further rebellion in the rest of the country, while planning all the while to retake the province of Québec. These means, however, were brutal and cruel especially by the standards that were previously the norm in this Democratic country, and many riots would break out against the oppressive curfews, new taxes and the harsh discipline that came with them, which raged from beating to imprisonments. Both the beatings and the violent reactions to any riots, peaceful or otherwise, caused numerous deaths which would only further fuel the fires of revolution springing across the country. </div><br/><b>1977:</b><br/><div class=""bb-indent""><b>The Maritimes</b><br/> by January of 1977, while Québec and most of eastern Canada were facing a particularly difficult winter, the maritimes joined the revolutionaries. New Brunswick was the first, their Premier resigned, and in the following elections broke off from Canada to join the revolutionaries. No more then a month later, Nova Scotia joined the revolutionaries when their local government was ousted in a rebellion. PEI capitulated to the rebellion shortly after, to avoid a violent resolution as Nova Scotia did. This however, sparked some interesting debates, as the French elitists in Québec insisted that this revolution was to revive the glory of La Nouvelle France, from times before The Great War. Ducharme, however, personally declared that this revolutionary was to see to the betterment of all lives, regardless of language, race or sex, as all people were deserving of fair treatment and better lives, as this was a country in which all Canadians shared, a line which became rather famous for the revolutionaries - and adding, for those who did not agree, that by enforcing such standards they broadened their work force and would later prove, through example, that with a larger workforce, they could assure better living standards for all.<br/><br/><b>Newfoundland and Labrador:</b><br/>Newfoundland and Labrador were probably hardest hit by the harsh winter, with most cities losing electricity due to lack of maintenance, a crippling food shortage, and several people dieing from the intense cold. In these dire times, the Premier of the province contacted Ducharme, asking him for help, an act that sparked a lot of controversy both among the revolutionaries and the loyalists. Ducharme accepted without a second thought, and was largely successful in helping the Province hold out until spring, and many people claim that he saved the lives of many in doing so. When spring arrived, the Province officially joined the revolutionaries and work began on repairing the damage done, both during that winter alone and from the long standing neglect due to poor funding.</div><br/><b>1978:</b><br/>Despite the propaganda from the Old Canadian government, and their large corporate backers, by mid 1978 the whole of Canada had joined the revolutionaries, . This was mostly in due to the large riots that were formed in any non-revolutionary city against the traditional government, causing a large amount of stress and causing a lot of damage until in May 1978 the Government of Canada officially capitulated, by popular demand, and originally giving Ducharme singular control over the country.<br/><br/>In autumn, 1978, once the basic infrastructure first presented in Québec was successfully integrated in the other parts of Canada, Ducharme made a public announcement to the whole of Canada, declaring that the success in re-attaining more comfortable life-styles wasn't due to him, and that for that reason, he held no right to rule the country. He claimed that it was the people of Canada, as a whole, who laid claim to this accomplishment, and not any one man, and that thus, no one man should rule the country. Over the next couple of years, the people would work hard, not only to continue repairing the damage done to the country, both through neglect and revolution, but to secure a charter that would dictate the system that would run the country - in where several ""Wings"" would be formed in the nation, and each Wing would elect a representative in the ruling council, effectively turning Canada into a Communist State.<br/><br/>Ducharme was given the title of ""Orchestrator"" and he was to hold no power, and no real wealth (by his own request) and would work as an adviser to the Council, and thus Canada as a whole, effectively ensuring that the new government's goal was met: To provide fair and effective administration of the country without (or with less) corruption."

</blockquote><br/><br/>I've read the Canadian and American history, and I -think- I have a good idea as to what happened. From what I read, there isn't any notable details in Canada specifically (Not counting the NWC) from that point in 1976 when Canada, along with Spain, pulled out of the war and declared New England a lost cause. That's why I was hoping to start from that point with the History portion, though if there's something that I missed it shouldn't be too difficult to make the necessary changes. Please do keep me updated, though, if you find any specific inconsistencies! :)"

It does open questions that Googer and Aaron would need to find a way to retcon. Specifically why China wasn't involved, and why Spain let this happen. Because of that, I would suggest both Aaron and Googer should also approve before we move forward.<br/><br/>If you want to polish it up, I would suggest making the revolution less convenient. It just sort of seems to work out all the time. I do admit you'll see that in the previous histories, in part because this RP started with looser standards and because we've had to go back and retcon the histories in such a way that they could be accessible while still making sense.<br/><br/>Slaughters are always a good impetus for revolution. The economy tanks, different groups rise out of the divide, the socialists take to the street in Quebec, the army/police/paramilitarists kill a bunch of people. Those in the middle condemn the aggressive right-wing attackers and the government is implicated one way or another. The only other thing you'd need to work out is why Spain isn't involved, but you could work that out with either.<br/><br/>Like I said at the beginning, I don't think this change is absolutely necessary and if it feels to uncomfortable to you than I would understand. What you have now works well enough. And of course, if you do want to update it you wouldn't have to follow the script.<br/><br/>Just remember that, for the most part, revolutions have a tendency to be somewhat ugly. It isn't a rule, but it's a common enough occurrence that we kind of expect it."

If Googer and Aaron approve, they could even be involved in the revolution in a way, either directly or indirectly - It's something that can be worked out in any case, and I can make the appropriate edits once the idea is settled.<br/><br/>I'm not sure if I mentioned it, I will go back and look it over, and likely do a few edits, but the main reason for the revolution was a tanking economy and a non-responsive government. The revolution wasn't entirely bloodless (It was in Montréal) as riots broke out in the areas still controlled by the old Government that would have been rather violent, further pushing the revolutionary's cause. I tried to keep it rather mild, mostly because it's Canada, a country that's pretty proud, historically, for a history that is rather lacking in violence overall, with very few wars. As I said though, that is a very good point, and I'll be sure to edit it appropriately.<br/><br/>Currently, I'm thinking over all (although this'll need approval) I'm thinking that in Montréal/Québec, the revolution was more focused on stopping the job loss/starvation/etc that was becoming prevalent. Although, with support of the big corporate backers (and likely Spain), the Government makes a large, violent, crackdown in places they still control to try and retain power. This of course only feeds the fire of the revolution (with possible support from China) who, with popular support from the masses, win out. For now I'll omit mentioning the two other countries in the post, but even without there's reason enough for this to still work. We'll see how it goes.<br/><br/>In conclusion, thank you for the constructive criticism! It's much appreciated and will no doubt allow me to improve upon what is there. If anyone else has any ideas, please feel free to mention them."

</blockquote><br/><br/>A thing to note about the Chinese government is that they don't budge easy. For the better part of the about twenty years their program of foreign intervention has only been centered at keeping Western powers out of Asia. The membership of the US and Mexico during the era of the ASB wasn't made on an invite.<br/><br/>Though, now that the ASB has evolved into the Comintern and the US left, there is a hole left open in the North American Bloc of the Third International. Mexico is still around, and would be interested to trying to get leverage against a US in another new era of its politics. Though they're not as powerful as the Chinese and incapable of influencing anyone on their own I would think that maybe they'd try to assist. Perhaps in partnership with the US Socialist/Communist parties in tipping the balance in Canada.<br/><br/>The Chinese intelligence agency - the IB - would without a doubt need to provide assistance. But it wouldn't be as direct as shooting resources off to Canada or sending their agents directly. I'd see it more as the Mexican Intel community appealing to another for help in a sort of lite version of Operation Ajax."

The Balkan countries were unfortunately affected by the Great War, with battles continuously occurring in their country, often causing the destruction of many cities and loss of lives as some were conscripted by their mother country, Austria-Hungary.<br/><br/>As Austria-Hungary neared collapse, Slovene and Croat nationalism escalated, with frequent riots and rebellions Austria-Hungary had to put down with force. In the early 1920s, Slovenia and Croatia went into a period of political thought, mostly of the recent political system of ""socialism"". In 1922, however, Austria-Hungary collapsed, which subsequently declined the so-called political ""socialist revolution"" as the population was more focused on the creation of the idealized Yugoslavia. Slovenes, Croats, Bosnians, Serbs, and other ethnic groups came together; as one of the top priorities after the creation of the young country, Yugoslavia attempted to rebuild itself from the ashes of the Great War.<br/><br/>Problems quickly came. When the Serbian Bojan Boris rose into power, several ethnic groups that were non-Serbian began to resent his rule; the Slovenes and Croats were no exception. They believed that Yugoslavia's government was dominated only by the Serbs. Soon, the former socialist revolution met a revival in the late 1940s. In 1949, within Yugoslavia, the ""Balkan Socialist League"" was formed in Split, Croatia, by a man called Miroslav Vlatkovic, a believed communist. The BSL remained relatively hidden in western Yugoslavia until the 1950s, and managed to directly oppose Bojanism with the people's support. Finally, the BSL had stopped hiding and now was threatening Serbia and its supporters from eastern Yugoslavia; Vlatkovic intended to instigate an overthrow of the dictator Bojan.<br/><br/>Before he can do so, however, Serbia, Kosovo, and Montenegro split with Yugoslavia, preventing the need of an overthrow. With little resistance, Vlatkovic renamed the ""Republic of Yugoslavia"" into the ""Yugoslavian Union of Socialist States"" – YSS, for short – in 1954, and declared himself the Chairman of Yugoslavia. Cautious of Serbia's unpredictable actions, Vlatkovic closed off all roads to the new Serbia, keeping watch on the border and building it's own military to match that of Serbia's. Yugoslavia and Serbia cut off any relation they had. Vlatkovic often intensified the conflict between Serbia, often showing off Yugoslavia's military power and being strictly anti-Bojanist, while supporting socialism/communism.<br/><br/>To many, Vlatkovic was a dictator no better than Bojan who often tried to restrict the people's beliefs; he was infamously known throughout the world for the Zagreb Massacre of 1960, where he ordered the paramilitary to fire at what he claimed to be ""counter-revolutionaries"". Yet others see him as a reformer, improving the country's economy with the ""Homeland Restoration Plan"" in 1958, as well as modernizing Yugoslavia. Vlatkovic died in August 1966 as a controversial man; Anton Kosir succeeded him as Chairman.<br/><br/>Anton Kosir had different thoughts than Vlatkovic; he wanted to consider peace talks with Serbia and was worried that war was imminent and that publicly creating weapons would hinder Yugoslavia's chance of diplomacy with Serbia. Kosir did not want to risk using deterrence as a way to stop Serbia's ""aggression"". He also increased commercial trade with other countries, and attempted to improve relations with nearby countries. Sadly, he grew unpopular in the eyes of Slovenes, Croats, Bosnians, and even his own party members alike due to his ""sympathy with Serbs"". Hoping not to get discharged by the Balkan Socialist League, he resigned in April 1975.<br/><br/>The third Chairman, Milan Saric, succeeded Kosir in 1975 – a turbulent time for Yugoslavia. The relationship between Slovenes and Croats against Bosnians and ethnic minorities were severing as they began to seek different goals, along with losing a sense of unity. Chairman Saric did not deal with this problem lightly, and after several revolts in eastern Yugoslavia (Bosnia), he mobilized military troops in Sarajevo and other cities to keep order. This only turned the revolts into all-out rebellions, which began the Yugoslav Civil War after Bosnia seceded from Yugoslavia.<br/><br/>The war lasted for another three years, with 55,000 or so Bosnian soldiers and civilians killed, and 40,000 Yugoslav soldiers and civilians killed. When the war ended with the Treaty of Zagreb, all of what was left of Yugoslavia was Slovenia and Croatia. Saric declared Yugoslavia defunct and dissolved, renaming the country Slovene-Croatia after an agreement to place the names of the two major ethnic groups: Slovenes and Croats. The flag was also modified as well; Saric removed the star and added a red and white checkered shield, which is the Croatian coat of arms, along with the new Slovenian coat of arms next to it: Mount Triglav, the highest point in Slovene-Croatia. Some, however, dislike this new flag, and will sometimes use two separate flags.<br/><br/>Saric, as the 1st President of Slovene-Croatia, allowed elections to take place in Slovene-Croatia in 1980. Janez Dvornik won the elections with a popular vote majority of 56.37%. While most of the infrastructure in Bosnia was destroyed during the civil war, Slovene-Croatia suffered less damage due to most of the fighting taking place in Bosnia itself. As a result, Slovene-Croatia has recovered somewhat, being a small but fairly industrialized country that is steadily pacing up to its developed counterparts. There is still some political strife, however, within the country, with the Slovene-Croatian Democratic Union (SCDU), First People's Party, and the old Socialist League.<br/><br/>More recently, there has been issues with Serbia mobilizing it's troops to the weakened Bosnia. Dvornik, worried of Serbia's possible invasion of the country, signed a non-aggression pact with Prussia and made an agreement to allow them to use their ports if they provide them Prussian armed forces. As of far, Slovene-Croatia and Serbia still have tensions."

</blockquote><br/><br/>I am partly basing this off of Ducky's application, since he claimed that in the 50s Serbia broke from Yugoslavia, taking Montenegro and Kosovo along with it due fear that revolution occurs from the Yugoslavian communist/ ""socialists"", along with the fact that in 1978 Yugoslavia dissolved.<br/><br/>By recent, I meant as in ""new"" to the country which had been largely dominated by Austria-Hungary from the late 19th century and the Serbian dictatorship in the 20th century.

The Balkan countries were unfortunately affected by the Great War, with battles continuously occurring in their country, often causing the destruction of many cities and loss of lives as some were conscripted by their dominating country. Later, in the midst of the Great War in 1922, it seemed that the Slovenes and Croats, like several other ethnic groups part of the former Austria-Hungary Empire, was caught in confusion and uncertainty as Hungary split from Austria and the Austria-Hungary Empire was dissolved.<br/><br/>For the remainder of the Great War and the years after that, Slovenia and Croatia remained as part of the Austria, despite Slovenia and Croatia's hopes of independence after the Great War. Their pleas were refused, and while Slovenia and Croatia were seen as an autonomous region, it was vigorously kept in place behind Austria using it's military force. Austria had its own problems, however, as after the Great War, Austria was in ruins, with her economy collapsing from war debts. Currency rapidly decreased in value, making even basic goods difficult to purchase.<br/><br/>This economic crisis affect Slovenia and Croatia as well, as the Austrian economy largely sustained Slovenia and Croatia. Many suffered from unemployment and possible hunger. While the Austrian government attempted to establish economic plans to reemploy people and restore the economy, the government was weak and oppressed the zones of Slovenia and Croatia, which planted the seeds of hatred against the Austrian government inside the minds of the Slovenes and Croats, along with other ethnic minorities.<br/><br/>Slovenia and Croatia remained part of Austria until the 1970s; the Slovenes and Croats held their thoughts of revolution temporarily as they focused on rebuilding themselves from the ashes of the Great War. After 1939, Austria, as well as Slovenia and Croatia, had restored themselves to their pre-war economic state. Despite these efforts, Austria still lagged behind in the world as a diminished power. Slovenia and Croatia watched as world changed with new borders being drawn and new countries being formed.<br/><br/>Eventually, in the 1970s, Slovenia and Croatia finally had enough of Austrian rule. Sick of seeing the world ""progress"" while they were in a standstill, nationalist groups in Slovenia and Croatia demanded self-rule. Yet every time, the protests were suppressed, sometimes with deadly force, further causing Austria to grow more unpopular.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before Prussia become involved. Austria, which was once again crumbling, was quickly annexed by Prussia with little resistance before an all-out rebellion from Croatia can occur. Slovenia and Croatia, on the other hand, was given independence by the Kingdom of Prussia; Slovenia and Croatia was declared a separate state from Austria in March 12, 1975. Janez Dvornik was elected as Slovene-Croatia's first president.<br/><br/>A few months later, in July 8, Slovene-Croatia's new flag was adopted: a red-white-blue striped flag with the new coat of arms, consisting of a figure of Mount Triglav inside a shield, the highest point in Slovene-Croatia, with five, smaller shields on top, being the ancient arms of five regions (Croatia, Dalmatia, Dubrovnik, Istria, and Slavonia). Later, in October 27, the Constitution of Slovene-Croatia was developed. The country was promised elections in 1980, which was more recently met by reelection to a second five-year team by Janez Dvornik.<br/><br/>Slovene-Croatia remains somewhat weaker compared to its neighboring countries, though the country's economy has steadily improved within the short five year time span. Serbia remains a problem, however, with her intention to ""reunite"" Yugoslavia. Slovene-Croatia, however, identify themselves as a separate ethnic group to Serbs. To many people, they fear that Serbia will attempt to dominate Slovene-Croatia, similar to how Austria-Hungary and Austria dominated them before.<br/><br/>President Dvornik took action rapidly, settling down with an agreement with Prussia to allow them access to their Mediterranean ports if Prussia sends troops to defend the country from a possible Serbian attack. To the Slovenes and Croatians, the future of the country remains uncertain as the enemy is closing upon them..."

</blockquote><br/><br/>I would imagine most cities in Europe still motly follow the sort of Haussmann style architecture you see in most of Europe or in Washington, DC. But some downtown districts in a handful Spanish cities have modern skyscrapers along the lines of what you'd see in large American cities in the 1960s - particularly in the Distrito Manzanares of Madrid I've mentioned a handful of times.

In the same vein, is antisemitism still as prevalent as in the late XIXth century, with pogroms in Eastern Europe and jewish quotas in the Ivy league?"

And at the same time it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of movement between nations so even if there was a larger second generation women's rights movement it couldn't have gone far. But I'm willing to bet that feminism is sort of at a point between First Gen/Suffragette Movement and Second Generation, hippy-born women empowerment.<br/><br/>And with the lack of a Second World War which would have been the inspiration - in some parts - for such a movement never being fought and more and more women taking men's jobs it could have lagged behind if such a catalyst was needed. And even during the Great War there wasn't a big workplace shift in the US because they never took part in the first place. Can't speak for the other nations, but that's as much as I know."

We could expect feminism to be much stronger in the old continent than in the new, unless the times of unrest would have caused a return to more conservative values.<br/><br/>Do you think anything analogous to the Civil Rights movement or Stonewall could have occurred? I have serious doubts, especially concerning the latter. That and 2nd and 3rd wave feminism are fights of the postmodern world, which is certainly not a stage PoW has reached yet. The only aspect in which PoW might be better than our reality, is religious extremism, which hasn't yet picked off.<br/><br/>I just remembered most of what we call human rights don't have much legal or even conceptual existence here. The distant Hague conventions of 1899 and 1907 are not so present in the minds.<br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""315"" src=""//www.youtube.com/embed/jzCAPJDAnQA?rel=0"" width=""560""></iframe><br/><br/>All this is rather problematic though, as Persia has already enacted what now seem ultraprogressive laws, like sanctions against sexual assault, financial independence for women, the depenalization of homosexuality, a minimum wage, and so on.

In the original sporum RP, Florida underwent a rather quick civil rights movement that started to make progress, but wehr mentioned that many blamed the bloated malaria outbreak on the blacks. Tempest and I also talked about this, but he focused a lot of a civil rights movement for Mexicans. I don't really remember the details we worked out.<br/><br/>As for the Jews, I believe Hugs was trying to tackle it at one point but was uncomfortable with the subject. As for feminism, I'm assuming that second-wave just hasn't happened yet. At the same time, several of us have alluded to a slightly more liberal approach to the subject. We see women in government. In my case, its an unrealistic oversight caused by me treating this all as some sort of writing practice. Aaron and Googer have also mentioned quite a few women in important positions. In Aaron's case that would be expected considering that China is communist. In Googer's case... maybe it suggests there is some sort of quasi-feminism in Spain?

If it is, we could expect the socialist president to have at least begun addressing the problem of segregation.<br/>Antisemitism would realistically be a major issue in post-czarist Russia, the social turmoil leading to massacres and fearmongering.<br/>As pertains to Spain, it could be possible the increased and prolonged involvement of women in warring Europe in fact accelerated the liberation of women. History could really have gone either way. In any case, it would seem feminism is firmly implanted in Persia, which could be passed off as a consequence of the socialist party's strength and the Shah's modernism. As radical Islam is a much less potent force, the opposition to feminine emancipation would be notably weaker, though far from weak.<br/><br/>I recall some posts concerning the Jewish question in Palestine.

</blockquote><br/><br/>It's uneven.<br/><br/>In general the technological state could be best described as being Second World War or even pre Second World War. On the other hand, the time-line difference has sort of created inflated bubbles of growth or exploration in some fields in certain parts of the globe. As examples, the Germans have gone about reinventing airship doctrine and engineering to legitimatize their role in combat. Where as in China government interest in space as per an evolving air-force doctrine has seen the rise and development of rocketry and what we'd call Transistors (or as the Chinese call them: Electrical Control Gates or ECGs). Spain has a sort of rudimentary and primitive version of Skype involving telephone lines and a network or video-audio transmission connecting the various heads of state and companies in their nation. The US, Spain, and China have independently developed jet aircraft.<br/><br/>However, the current state of the international market and trade makes it unlikely a lot of this technology would spread very easily. The Chinese for example wouldn't readily trade their state developments to anyone, and even with their allies it's ""last year's model"". The economic world is really very broken and even within there it's unlikely the Great Power's developments would work around within those zones, there isn't incentive yet to share big secrets; it's all in stockpiling it in the event war breaks out.<br/><br/>Spain, China, and the US have by-and-far been considered the only nations really capable of having the industrial capabilities to explain this choppy spread of technology, because even if jet tech has existed on paper since before the First World War no one but them has really had the means to test the theories. And nations like Poland aren't old enough as a major power to be acting on the latest and Japan is sort of too bruised and beaten to try.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

I tried to make as realistic a history as I could for the years between where the summary ended and the (what I think is) the most recent date, based on other summaries (if not, I'll edit, but everything else seemed to have 1980 as their last year mentioned.) If there's anything you don't like/doesn't fit, let me know, and I'll make edits accordingly. ^-^<br/><br/>Nation: The Slavic Union<br/>Leader: President Czeslaw Kozlow<br/>History:<br/>1922-1975:<br/>Poland declared its independence in 1922 amidst the Great War. Later, it opens up ports and becomes a significant trading power. Poland took advantage of uprisings in Czech Republic in 1970, and the Austrian territory was quickly absorbed. Austria, unable to quell the uprising and confront Poland, lost the territory without resistance. Poland became the Slavic Union shortly after. In 1975, Poland intervened in a Hungarian invasion of Ukraine, managing to repel the Hungarian forces. Ukraine joined the Slavic Union in exchange for protection after the war.<br/><br/>1976:<br/>In 1976, Poland deployed forces into Moscow to quell the violence there. They also provided arms to Armenia during their rebellion against the Ottoman Empire, as well as helping the Armenians recover a downed aircraft before Turkish troops could reach it, and aiding in the training of Armenian troops. The Polish military also aided in the war actively by demonstrating a show-of-force against the Ottomans in order to scare off a surge of their troops. Other than that, their role in the war was primarily that of the arms dealer for the rebelling nations.<br/><br/>1977:<br/>In response to massive public outcry, Spring in Poland marked the beginning of a massive project to modernize all roads in the union, starting with Poland. The high amount of accidents due to terrible roads led to a petition to the government in Poland, which was approved by the majority of the Senate, as well as President Plwago. Right away, work was started, and by the end of the year, many Poles were enjoying clean, paved roads in many of Polands major cities, and even in the capitals of the other states in the union.<br/><br/>Also in 1977, a change in Polish constitution at this time also helped fuel the arms industry, as citizens of the Slavic Union were granted the right to bear arms, following the passing of a test, participation in courses on gun safety and training, and being granted a license. This was a major success, as it was seen as necessary due to high amounts of crime in the country originating from their neighboring Russian states.<br/><br/>1978:<br/>The governmental elections at the end of 1977, and into early 1978 saw the graceful end of Anatol Plwago's term, and the scandalous election of Czeslaw Kozlow, who won with 52% of the votes, despite being from a minor party. This has led to many rumours and accusations, mainly from members of the two major parties, that the election was rigged. However, no proof or evidence of any kind has surfaced, and the majority of the population is in favour of Kozlow, so the “scandal” has faded into the background of national news.<br/><br/>Soon after the election, it was revealed that President Kozlow supported the idea of Pan-Slavism, and planned to pursue that goal. Not much was spoken of this to the public after the announcement was made, but plenty of work was going on for it in the government. Ambassadors in other Slavic nations were replaced if they weren't pro-union, propaganda was discreetly promoted through television and radio ads, charities appeared in support of the neighboring Russians who were living under terrible circumstances and support for the Polish troops in Moscow was almost tripled.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the nation itself continued to improve the nations roads, with the only difference being a major focus on the roads leading from Poland to Volgograd in Ukraine, and the reveal of a “Pan-Slavic Highway”, that would eventually serve as a singular road that would connect all states in the union, present and future.<br/><br/>In the Autumn of 1978, President Kozlow signed a bill that required Slavic Union citizens to register the guns they bought, in order to combat recent black market purchases of military grade weapons from an organized crime group forming in Ukraine. However, carrying guns in public also became legal, due to the increasing threat of crime in the East.<br/><br/>December of 1978 saw the beginning of a project by the Polish government to begin producing VX-filtering gas masks, which was secretly tested using a small trace of recreated VX gas on a minor number of criminals that had received the death sentence.<br/><br/>1979:<br/>Early 1979 in the Slavic Union was mainly focuses on finding ways to combat the Mafiya and other criminal groups that were common in Ukraine. This mainly consisted of setting up military checkpoints along the Russian borders, as well as an increase in the amount of police in Ukraine. A governmental task force was also created, serving above the police, but below the military, that had the right to search the homes of anyone suspected of being tied to organized crime, without a warrant, so long as they could provide sufficient evidence.<br/><br/>Despite public concern, the Slavic Mafia Protection Agency (SLOMOA) was succeeding in their job, with only a few false home intrusions being made, which the government compensated the owners for, which prevented any large outcry. Since SLOMOA's formation, the crime rates in the Western states dropped considerably, while the rates in Ukraine dropped about 5% by August 1979, and would drop 9% by February 1980.<br/><br/>In October of 1979, Poland began mass producing and distributing pro-Slavic Union propaganda within the Russian territory of Volgograd, in an attempt to gain favor among the Russians, and get them to doubt and rise up against the local government. While the campaign seemed like a failed attempt at first, news from Polish spies in the area reported people preaching for Russians to “join their brethren in the West”, and “abandon the failing excuse of a government for a chance at a good life.”<br/><br/>1980:<br/>Due to the successes of the propaganda campaigns in Volgograd early in 1980, the government of the Slavic Union began to mobilize their military, with eyes on the East. Plans were laid, and spies and other agents were sent into the Volgograd territory in advance to arm the pro-union citizens, and pave the way for an easy occupation later in the year."

There's also continued support in the area.<br/><br/>Another thing is that trying to deredneck the poles isn't going to be accomplished in a few years. Like with gun laws and stuff.

China had brief access to Seattle - where the gas was first deployed - to collect what little remained of the chemical agent. But they got that because of their brief diplomatic relations to America. Like-wise, VX doesn't need to be breathed to kill, it can get through uniforms and clothes and get absorbed through the skin, and it doesn't take much.<br/><br/>Likewise I don't think Poland would have enough men to mount an invasion with the intent to fully annex any regions any time soon given the amount of military missions across the Caucus or Anatolia. The Polish themselves had to withdraw their physical army from Moscow because it was too much of a stress on them, and they replaced them with a PMC unit which might as well be a faction all their own in the politics of the Russian Republic.<br/><br/>Similarly, the Mafiya is a pretty asymmetric foe."

This was both my first nation and hardcore RP when I first got told I should join on the MCF. And since then, I've been trying to learn by doing, and look what happened to the canon as a result. At first with the nation swapping, it was just kind of a habit from the RP's I was in pre-POW. If you wanted to play a different kind of character, you either killed off or NPC'd your old one, and started fresh. So going into POW, I still had that mindset. Really, coming into POW, I just didn't really know what to expect. And by the time I finally figured out how to do things, I had gone through too many nations to really be trusted.By both myself and others, I think.<br/><br/>So I just feel like I need to be overly cautious now, because I'm playing a country who's lore I don't even completely understand, and don't want to cross any boundaries, becoming even more of a nuisance to the RP's lore than I already have been, due to the bambi nature I had when I first joined. So that's why I feel like I should leave the RP. Because I feel that, because of my early background in it, I'm not really trying to write for fun anymore, and instead trying to write to keep others from thinking ""Feo's pulling a Feo again."""

The thing is, the way we've set this RP up allows us to rationalize weird shit and sort of compartmentalize each nation so fuck-ups don't hurt other nations much. For instance, Florida being an independent nation never really complicated things for the rest of us. We only changed it because it made America difficult to grab.<br/><br/>The worse thing you could do is quit and ask somebody else to be Britain because that is what ""pulling a Feo"" is. Britain is yours now. Play with it. There isn't really a solid idea of what the anarchy and Britain has had a minimal impact on the rest of the nations, so you can do what you want so long as it makes sense. And that isn't difficult. All you need to make something work is the ability to rationalize it.<br/><br/>So write for fun. Don't think fun equals doing big explosive things all the time. I've had more fun with Sahle than any of the others, and Sahle's story hasn't exactly been world changing. Play with ideas and play with the way you use words. That's how you get good at this."

It was the not knowing what I could write about, since I was getting lot's of different feedback about what state Britain should be in because the Anarchy. And at the time, the Anarchy was being treated like a respected, detailed event that I had no details about, rather than an element that I was supposed to create the story for. Really, looking back on it, that's the whole source of pretty much all the confusion since I started as Britain.<br/><br/>But, I mean... If I can wipe what little I've done with Britain since the start on this forum, I feel I can make a new, detailed history actually worthy of Precipice this time around. Since what was written on the MCF was based on a major misunderstanding of the shape Britain would be in, as was everything so far on this site. Both times I thought ""The Anarchy"" was a literal anarchy that threw Britain into chaos. But if that's not actually fact, and I can work with it to make something else out of it, then that will make Britain much easier to write for."

So... Here we go. The newest (and final) revision of the history of Great Britain. I didn't go into large amounts of detail, so I can elaborate more through posts later on (though it's mainly because it's extremely hard to write having to Control+V every single space in.)<hr/><center><b>Great Britain</b></center><br/><center><img src=""http://www.clipartbest.com/cliparts/eiM/KGa/eiMKGayin.jpeg""/></center><br/><br/>Following the end of the Great War, Great Britain entered into a period of economic stagnation, military inefficiency, and imperial downfall.<br/><br/>Directly after the end of the war, the people of Great Britain were tired. They were sad. But most of all, they were angry. Many citizens grew to hate the government as the war dragged on, and when it didn't end in victory, the citizens lashed out. There were mass protests across both the nation and it's colonies, riots and even occasional attempts on the lives of certain members of the government. Even after an emergency reelection, which replaced almost all members of the government, the public outcry continued.<br/><br/>Throughout many of Great Britain’s colonies, civilians began to act against the local government branches. Almost without any resistance, civilians were able to take over the colonial governments, while whatever military they had was quickly forced to surrender, if they didn't just up and leave on their own.<br/><br/>In response to the public, the King of Britain, Edward VIII, made a speech, stating that the outcome of the Great War was due to the current government system, and called for a governmental reform which would grant more power to him. Quickly, the King gained public favor through many convincing speeches that sympathized with the people.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, the Prime Minister tried to relay to the people that returning that much power would be a mistake, and that the current government existed for a reason. While some people sided with him, not many did. And when one radical member of this party made an attempt on the Kings life, the citizens of Great Britain mirrored those of their previous colonies, marching on the governmental buildings, arresting those inside, and later on, exiling them from the country all together.<br/><br/>With the government exiled, and the citizens now following the lead of the King, a new constitution was drafted, which granted the king much more power, while still allowing the citizens to elect a small parliament and Prime Minister to ensure a balance of powers.<br/><br/>With the populace now happy with the government, it was now time to focus on recovering. However, that quickly became impossible, as Ireland was taken over by a wave of Nationalism, with India following suit six months later. Ireland refused to follow a government lead by the English king, and India had lost all faith in the British government, and was suffering because of Britain's instability.<br/><br/>Having to make a choice, it was decided that India was much more worth fighting for by many, and a peace treaty allowing Ireland it's independence was drafted within a week of the start of India's independence movement.<br/><br/>However, things would not go very well for Britain. With their war exhaustion already incredibly high, many people began to simply let India go, and stop sending what young men were left off to die. Unable to see a way to win without risking the people turning on him, as well, the King finally gave into India's demands, releasing them as their own sovereign nation in 1952.<br/><br/>These twenty-five years since the end of the Great War came to be known as the Great Anarchy, due to the absolute inability of the government being the cause of the collapse of the British Empire.<br/><br/>Following this great Anarchy, Britain could not do anything more than hold onto what colonial holdings remained, and simply rebuild. During this time, they almost completely vanished from the world stage, and the name of the British Empire faded away into the history books. The British people themselves seemed to almost be as much a thing of legend as the Romans were with how little the world heard of them.<br/><br/>Then, in 1970, they re-appeared. In a brief and hostile takeover of the independent Ireland, marking Britain's return from their near-isolationist period. Now under the rule of Edward VIII's son, William IV, who chose the Regnal name William in place of his first name, Edward, as a nod towards William of Orange, in that William of Orange was given the crown by parliament, where as his father secured his crown by taking power from parliament.<br/><br/>In 1976, Britain took part in international affairs for the first time in a long time, when they sent two SIS agents into Canada to retrieve and escape with Lawrence Williams: the creator of VX gas who had been imprisoned in Canada following the Seattle bombing. In a greatly successful mission, they were able to escape with him across the American border. However, in exchange for their cooperation, the agents had no choice but to leave Williams with the Americans.<br/><br/>Now, William IV seeks to restore British pride, by restoring the Empire, and reclaiming it's title as a global power. With a navy heading for Africa, and plans in motion for the reconquest of Canada, Great Britain's name will soon return to the headlines around the world."

Before the war, there were plans to introduce Home Rule to Ireland(an autonomous parliament in Dublin) but this met with resistance from Northern Irish (Ulster unionist protestants) who saw a Parliament in Dublin as Catholic tendencies seeping into Ireland ('Home Rule is Rome Rule'). 100,000 (give or take) Irish unionists signed a treaty that said if Ireland got Home Rule, they would quickly make their own parliament in Belfast and form an Orange/Protestant state that covered the Protestant-majority in Ulster.<br/><br/>Civil war was about to happen when the war started and Irish Home Rule was immediately suspended so that Britain could fight a war without worrying about Eamonn De Valera pissing about with taxes. What I propose is that Ireland is currently in some sort of civil war with Irish Unionists who want to re-join the UK as the Ulster State while the Republic argues this is unconstituitional.

You wouldn't expect them to even survive an actual naval engagement and the bulk of what I suspect they could do is anti-piracy measures against the run of the mill Indonesian pirates. But when it comes to challenging the Chinese or Japanese fleets - as both being dominate regional powers - they really couldn't hold up. At the best maybe the Australian Navy could mount a landing if you use similar numbers, but prolonged naval engagement wouldn't be possible.<br/><br/>Historically I imagine this boils down to them being a part of the British Empire and the Brits themselves would have been the ones to own, operate, fuel, equip, and man the many larger flag-ship and main battleships of the Empire or Commonwealth's navy. So most Aussie craft would act in a support role in any event.<br/><br/>So a bunch of small and lighter class ships, or logistical things. A reconsolidation or collapse of the British military would leave Australia very much vulnerable potentially.<br/><br/>Consideration given to the pre-divergence structuring of the Australian navy would be most useful. From the same Wiki page (because quick reference material):<br/><br/>""The Commonwealth Naval Forces were established on 1 March 1901, two months after the federation of Australia, when the naval forces of the separate Australian colonies were amalgamated. A period of uncertainty followed as the policy makers sought to determine the newly established force's requirements and purpose, with the debate focusing upon whether Australia's naval force would be structured mainly for local defense or whether it would be designed to serve as a fleet unit within a larger imperial force, controlled centrally by the British Admiralty.[1] In 1908–09, the decision was made to pursue a compromise solution and Australia agreed to establish a force that would be used for local defense but which would be capable of forming a fleet unit within the imperial naval strategy, albeit without central control. As a result, the navy's force structure was set at ""one battlecruiser, three light cruisers, six destroyers and three submarines""."""

There could end up no possible need to maintain a modern fleet designed for defense from an invasion and it shifts to trade protection, as it did during the RL Great Depression. This could probably sit and linger and stagnate Australian capabilities given no support from the UK given it's political destabilization in the 50's; or however Feo decides/decided.<br/><br/>Probably redundant, but oh well."

A major combatant of The Great War, the Kingdom suffered heavy casualities against the Austrian and German Empires in the Alps, but managed to gain the upper hand and defeat the Austrians outside of Innsbruck in 1919. After which, the war turned to a dull stalemate a few dozen kilometers south of the German town of Rosenheim, where the front would stay until the end of the war.<br/><br/>The casualties and strain inflicted on the people and industries of Italy put massive political and social consequences on the state, and several uprisings and revolutions were attempted, but the Kingdom slowly recovered to a respectable status come 1931. Though nowhere near as powerful as it was pre-war, as was the case with many nations.<br/><br/>Italy would continue with gradual economic development(mostly centered in getting the southern half on par with the north) and fostering healthy relations with many nations around the Mediterranean Sea. Though it failed in the attempt to purchuse Corsica from France in 1958, and again only ten years later.<br/><br/>In 1970, due to greatly increasing world wide tensions, Italy postponed the scrapping of the aircraft carrier Sparviero(though still scrapped it's sister carrier, Aquila) and began minor modernization projects to bring its outdated military up to par with most of Europe, many of which are still ongoing, since they were postponed due to the rise of Batista from Spain.<br/><br/>During the pseudo-civil war from 1976-1977, the monarchy was overthrown for a short time before being reinstated by Spain during it's intervention on the matter, at the cost of a Constitutional Monarchy instead of an Absolute one. The Senate of the Kingdom managing the upper house, and the Chamber of Deputies for the lower house.<hr/><b>Location-</b>Southern Europe<br/><br/><b>Area-</b>301,338 km2<br/><br/><b>Maritime Claims-</b>12nm<br/><br/><b>Climate-</b>Thanks to the great longitudinal extension of the peninsula and the mostly mountainous internal conformation, the climate of Italy is highly diverse.

Invaded by the Ottoman Empire in the early 1970s. Spanish support helps secure the northern part of the country and halt the Ottoman advance. By 1974, the Spanish governor of Northern Italy - Aurelio Batista - rules the north alone. Later, Batista goes on to push the Ottomans out of Southern Italy. Shortly after, he cuts his ties to Spain. He rules Italy with an iron fist for several years.<br/><br/>In 1976, Italian rebels begin to fight back against the Batistan regime. Spain - enraged that Batista refused to heel - begins to secretly assist the rebel cause. In early 1977, Spain declares war on Batista's regime and engages in open warfare. Batista flees the country and the rebels take over, forming a new government.""<br/><br/>It's in the the three OP posts, under European lore summaries.<br/><br/>The military is also considerably bloated. And using the current active-duty service members as a base Italy only really has a 200,000 strong army, roughly 300,000 with the reserve. And I don't think the Italians were ever so much of a naval power they needed - or could ever muster - something like an aircraft carrier in order to project their power, their influence has only been localized.<br/><br/>We'll also need Googer here."

We can work in how Batista supplanted the monarchy and he how ran the show in Italy; but try to build up Italy as a country that has just recovered from a period of repression and foreign governance. You should not try to play Italy like a nation that woke up one morning and decided ""hey, we should start becoming important and invading things"" like a lot of new players do. I won't hound you for not reading the lore to the letter and getting every detail right - we all know that the lore is massive and that would be inhumane to expect that of anyone. All I'd like is to see you try to work with the hand you've been dealt. Italy has not had an easy time this past decade - they've been invaded by the Ottomans and made pawns by the Spanish. At the same time, they have a lot to be proud of: they resisted the Ottomans and ousted Batista. They've seen trama in a short period of time and they've been hardened by it. That's the framework you should build off of: an Italy that has earned its country and monarchy back with blood, sweat, and tears and is looking to recover their pride and kick some ass.<br/><br/>Work off of that, and I'll excuse/work with any inconsistencies. Make some good stories, that's the important thing. Enjoy Italy.<br/><br/>(Googer Approved)"

You should not try to play Italy like a nation that woke up one morning and decided ""hey, we should start becoming important and invading things"" like a lot of new players do. I won't hound you for not reading the lore to the letter and getting every detail right - we all know that the lore is massive and that would be inhumane to expect that of anyone. All I'd like is to see you try to work with the hand you've been dealt. Italy has not had an easy time this past decade - they've been invaded by the Ottomans and made pawns by the Spanish. At the same time, they have a lot to be proud of: they resisted the Ottomans and ousted Batista. They've seen trama in a short period of time and they've been hardened by it. That's the framework you should build off of: an Italy that has earned its country and monarchy back with blood, sweat, and tears and is looking to recover their pride and kick some ass.Work off of that, and I'll excuse/work with any inconsistencies. Make some good stories, that's the important thing. Enjoy Italy.(Googer Approved)<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>Thank you, I had no intentions of really sweeping all that past under the rug. It gives me writing material and a good foundation to really delve into the cultural and economic aspects of the Italy of 1980. Especially in the topic of Spanish relations and the war-damaged south, as well as Batista(He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named). Italy's situation is a very interesting one, and I'm looking forward to it. On that note, I'll be getting to work on that as soon as my schedule is less overburdened."

</blockquote><br/><br/>Japan and France are open and have pretty negotiable lore, and nothing really going on. Though even then there's a few things to keep in mind.<br/><br/>Russia however is less so, and there are things going on. So your ultimate creative freedom might be really bent up out of shape if you head for Russia. Not only is there a currently renewed Chinese-Siberian push into the ""Republic"", but you have a considerable amount of crime. The Russian Republic also makes up the largest representing piece of territory up there.<br/><br/>Otherwise I guess you got the failure of the Volgograd state in the Caucus region, and the post-Turkish governorship of their failed Mission in Russia. Or you have the Communist region of Novogord-Saint Petersburg."

</blockquote><br/><br/>Unless we changed it: France is currently allied to Spain. So though it may not be immediate it will come up soon that you'll be asked to join or you'll need to choose to join the brewing war in Africa no doubt.<br/><br/>Prior to that, France was briefly a member of the Ottoman-founded Central Eurasian League. This however fell apart when the poorly-founded league couldn't hold together its own member-states and there was a three year war between Germany and France. This ultimately didn't escalate to much as everyone kept out of it and both forces withdrew.<br/><br/>Japan is still an absolute monarchy under the Emperor. Hirohito could be dead or alive now, that's your choice to make. However something to note on them is they're not as dominate over Asia than they used to. Their position as being the regional player in Asia was usurped by China who managed to liberate Taiwan (adding it to themselves) and half of Korea before managing to get the Japanese to recognize Chinese demands and half-assedly agreeing to peace. China recognizes Japan for having committed war crimes on their soil during the Revolution, including the unrestrained actions of one Unit 731, but the Japanese haven't recognized those.<a href=""http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/The_Third_International"">The Third International</a>is also something to keep in mind, since its premier member and founding state is next door."

</blockquote><br/><br/>Well, Japan involved itself in China in 1937 and between then and withdrew around the year 1958 after a series of setbacks including the attack on the Imperial Naval base in Dalain resulting in the scuttling and capture of most of their ships including a I-400 class submarine and other major naval vessels. With that, other general defeats and set backs, and the defeat of the Unit 731 biological research unit (and the Chinese recovery of a good minimum of 10 military years research on Chinese civilians) the Empire withdrew from China, and cut off its support from the former Qing Emperor Puyi in the Japanese-formed Manchukoko state over Manchuria. With the Empire gone Imperial Manchuria crumpled and the Civil War in China basically ended with the Communist occupation of Beijing.<br/><br/>It would be for about another twenty years the Chinese and Japanese would clash again. China would move on Japan to liberate Taiwan and restore it to the Chinese state and facilitated friendly revolution in Korea. Although the Tokyo Treaty - which officially resolved the Taiwan question - also ended the Revolution in Korea and pretty much established North Korea under a Juchea-state (which later was overthrown by a more moderate Communist party).<br/><br/>From Taiwan Chinese soldiers moved to the Philippines which overthrew the interim government they imposed after revolting against the US and started a pro-longed period of on-and-off conflict for the Philippines. After which China put into power a communist government after some war drama.<br/><br/>The Third International keeps the Communist states in China and abroad loosely united. Or, any Communist state that doesn't hate China. The Philippines are in it as well as pretty much most of Indochina. You could probably postulate that China made a big red belt cutting between mainland Japan and its island possessions/puppets in Guinea and Java.<br/><br/>There's more information in one of the Lore Summary posts following the OP. I think it's the second one that should have the summation of Asia's lore. Japan's in there too.<br/><br/>Some [optional] Wiki reading:<br/><a href=""http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Chinese_Revolution"">http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Chinese_Revolution</a><br/>(<a href=""http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/New_People%27s_China#The_20.27s.2C_30.27s.2C_and_Japan"">Probably a better alternative since the above hasn't been updated at all</a>)<br/><a href=""http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Liberation_of_Taiwan"">http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Liberation_of_Taiwan</a><br/><br/>If you poke around more you'll find a few pages concerning Japan too. But it's worth noting most are declared and tagged noncanonical. We've had some rough moments with Japan which just didn't make sense, and us trying to fix it afterwards only made it worse. So we cauterized it."

Here is my app from seven months ago:<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Nation</span></b><br/>Hungary (Magyarország).<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">Leader</span></b><br/>President Adél Bak.<br/><br/><b><span class=""bb-u"">History</span></b><br/>Hungary didn't want to be in the Great War, but since they were part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire they didn't have a choice. They joined the Central Power when the war began, fighting off Serbia and Romania for gaining land within Hungary.<br/><br/>Realizing that this war was getting too costly, they protested about the war at the Hofburg Palace with pitchforks, Charles I through that they were going to kill him. So, Charles told the guards to open fire on the protesters and they went outside and fired at the protesters. Twenty people died due to the Charles' choice and it is called, The Hofburg Massassce. After hearing the news, Hungarians rebelled against Austria and fought the military until 1922.<br/><br/>Charles I officially surrendered to the Allies after protesters were at his gate and fired at the palace. After the war, Hungary lost its only sea port at Fiume and the industrial base from its sources of raw materials in The Treaty of Versailles. It caused Hungary's economy to collapse, but some people have hope. A few months later, a revolt happened for which party would be the main one. Protesters choice sides and fought each other until one stool over anyone else.<br/><br/>The remaining parties were The Hungarian Socialist Party and The Hungary Parliamentary, calmed the people and held a vote for which is the party that Hungary was going to be. And In 1929, The Parliamentary Party won by sixty-four percent, while Socialist Party lost by forty-six percent, the people were happy with the votes either know some say that the votes were rigged. The President and Prime Minister were voted a year later, Don Csonka and Alfréd Bakó won by sixty-two percent and entered office.<br/><br/>President Don Csonka's first task was to restore the economy, industrialized the nation once more, and help the people out. He is called 'The Greatest President in Hungarian History' for a reason: he pulled the country out of bankruptcy, he gave women rights in 1931, improved factories and farms, child labor was banned, and improvements in the army and air forces were made.<br/><br/>During his second term: he increased the value of Hungary's imports, he formed all ten national parks, ten landscape protection areas, and fifty minor nature reserves within four years, he restored eight of the landmarks within Hungary, and improved relations with other countries (most countries on the Allies' side). The people were upset when his terms were up, but he later when to service as Prime Minister and was on the National Assembly until he retired in 1970 at the age of 75.<br/><br/>When Hungarian was planning to invade Ukraine in '76, they send fake files about Ukraine attacking Poland to trick them. It did work as their relation decreased and Hungary attacked the Ukraine in July. The Hungary army was divided into two main branches, a northern one heading for Lviv and later Kyiv and a southern one aiming for Odessa and Crimea.<br/><br/>The southern forces did not get very far due to logistical problems, but the northern branch managed to advance very deep into the Ukrainian territory and captured Lviv, forcing the Polish to act quickly. In a series of aerial and artillery strikes the Hungarian forces near advancing to Lviv were decimated and forced to retreat. Then The Bloodly Nights happened and that ended the war on Poland and Ukraine, on April, 13, 1970.<br/><br/>After the war, Don Csonka was ashamed for the country's army and ability to fail at capture Ukraine (which they joined Poland). His dying words were that he was ashamed to be Hungarian and died due to natural causes. The President felt ashamed of Don's last words and dropped out of officer in April, 25 and the Prime Minster became President.<br/><br/>Adél Bak was the granddaughter of Don Csonka and many believed that she could become like Don, but she has doubts. A few days later, Hungarians celebrate fifty years since Don Csonka entered officer and Adél plans to give a speech on that day."

In its haste to negotiate a rapid, simple peace with Berlin, the Russian Empire offered the German monarchy two token concessions to expedite the peace process. The first was a vague assurance of increased autonomy in the Ukrainian governates of Russia, which, as is readily apparent when reviewing Ukrainian history under the Tsardom, amounted essentially to merely an empty promise. The second concession was one that would have a much greater impact on the internal stability of the Russian Empire as well as the political landscape of Eastern Europe as a whole. Known infamously as the 70-30 Compromise, or officially as the Ruthenian Compromise, the Russian Empire ceded and recognized a traditionally unruly and ‘un-Russian’ portion of its westernmost territory, here-to-be known as Byelorussia, as a dually-administrated condominium in conjunction with the German Empire. The new Russo-German Condominium of the Byelorussians comprised half of the Vilna Governate, the Mogilev Governate, half of the Vitebsk Governate, the Minsk Governate, the Grodno Governate, and the northernmost Uyezd of the Zhitomir Governate. These territories were chosen rather arbitrarily by Petrograd as the ‘core’ territories of the Byelorussian peoples, with minor input provided by the ‘Father of the Byelorussian Ethnos’ himself, Yefim Fyodorovich Karsky as per the status of . As can be inferred from the unofficial name of the Compromise, the Russian Empire ‘ceded’ an arbitrary seventy percent of the administration of the Condominium to the German Empire.<br/><br/>In practice, this administrative duality, expanded upon by the April 1917 Minsk Proclamation, assigned economic, cultural, judicial, industrial, and transportation-related affairs to the German administration centered in Pinsk, while taxation, foreign affairs, and civil and legal enforcement were to be administered by the Russian ministry in Minsk. In addition, the Minsk Proclamation declared a rudimentary demilitarization of the Condominium that would officially remain until the dissolution of the entire Russian Empire in 1970, despite the rapid fall of the Condominium itself. The German Minister in Byelorussia was the Saxon intellectual Maximilian Huber, known affectionately as simply ‘Max’. His Russian counterpart was a certain Alexei Trubetsky. Theoretically, this division would yield immense bounty for Petrograd. German industrialists and entrepreneurs arrived in Byelorussia en masse, seeking a more stable, safer base of operations when compared to war-torn Germany. Cheap labour abounded during the first few years of the Condominium, when refugees from Ukraine, ravaged by the Great War, poured into Byelorussia, which remained relatively untouched during the War due to more intense fighting in Poland and Ukraine. Under guidance from these German industrialists, with token monetary support from their Russian counterparts eager to expand on their own fledgling industries in Russia as well, Byelorussian reconstruction proceeded at an incredible pace, with the Condominium regaining its economic traction by March 1918. And while the Russian Empire began its crackdown on the deeply entrenched Bolshevik movement, and the German Empire continued its bloody, readily worsening war, Byelorussia as a whole under the Huber-Trubetsky administration surprisingly flourished. As western German railroads furiously shipped troops, supplies, and armaments to the War’s frontlines, the Königlich Preußische Staatseisenbahnen signed a groundbreaking deal with Minister Huber paving the path for a nascent Byelorussian railroad system. The first Prussian-gauge tracks were laid by May ’18, from the East Prussian border town of Eydtkuhnen, extending the Preußische Ostbahn to the Byelorussian city of Hrodna. By the turn of the decade, the backbone of the Byelorussian Joint-Administered Ministerial Railroad, a nearly 630-km long entirely continuous track from Hrodna, to Minsk, to Homyel’ was complete, and offshoot tracks to important Byelorussian cities, including Mahilioŭ, Pinsk, Orsha, Brest, Mazyr, Pólack, and Vì́cebsk.<br/><br/>Once the ‘core’, so to say, of the Byelorussian rail system was completed, the German Imperial government in Berlin took far greater interest in Huber’s projects in Byelorussia. The terminus of the Joint-Administered Ministerial Railroad was the small town of Šarpilaŭka, just a ways down the Sozh River from Homyel’. Just across the Byelorussian ‘border’ was the Russian territory of Ukraine, one of the most prolific iron-producing regions in the entire world at the time. For a nation in a very costly, incredibly painstaking war, heavily blockaded by a combined Allied fleet, this bountiful, relatively cheap source of iron and other minerals was a sweet, sweet, prize. If Germany could somehow sign a deal with the cautious, hostile Russians, to purchase Ukrainian iron en masse, the German war machine could be rescued from its state of materiel starvation and would once more be able to operate at full efficiency. And in order to facilitate this immense transfer of war-bound material between two formerly hostile nations, the German government would need a huge loophole, a plan to net as much Ukrainian iron as possible. And here, this loophole, is where the Russo-German Condominium of the Byelorussians came into play, in the inner workings of a plan schemed up by Byelorussia’s very own Minister Maximilian Huber. When a message from Berlin arrived in Pinsk, informing Huber about the German aspirations on Ukrainian iron, the Minister immediately informed the German envoy of a plausible plan to bypass the Russian restrictions on German trade. According to the Minsk Proclamation, Byelorussian Condominium merchants and corporations were allowed to operate without any sort of extraterritorial restriction in Ukrainian, Lithuanian, and Livonian markets as were applied to Germany. Using this clause, the German Empire, with assistance from Huber, was able to establish a proxy corporation in Byelorussia to purchase mass amounts of Ukrainian iron. The new AAJ Byelorussian Steel Works, centered in the railroad town of Žlobin, halfway between Homyel’ and Minsk, was established on August 12th, 1920. Headed by German government-sympathizing industrialist immigrants, the AAJ Byelorussian Steel Works ‘purchased and started operations in’ a steelworks in the German industrial center of Essen, and legally employed a mere ten Byelorussian denizens to maintain its corporate status. Despite the fact that in its August 1920 form, the AAJ Byelorussian Steel Works would have been perfectly capable, legally and practically, of purchasing and transferring Ukrainian iron to German steelworks, Minister Huber, perhaps out of the good intentions in his heart to the Byelorussian people, perhaps to satiate the Russian Empire, perhaps for his own economic benefit, submitted a request to the German Empire that the AAJ Byelorussian Steel Works be authorized to hire and train ethnic Byelorussians and Ukrainians, and that it be allowed to construct its own Byelorussian facililties in Žlobin. In this way, the Byelorussian steel industry, one of the centerpieces to the Byelorussian economy, was conceived, and on September 27th, 1920, the AAJ Byelorussian Steel Works signed a breakthrough deal with Ukrainian mining magnate Nikolai Leonid, offering to buy per annum one million tonnes of unrefined iron ore at a price higher than Leonid had ever been offered before, but still lower than the price of Swedish iron, magnificently inflated due to the perils of crossing the Baltic and the Swedish monopoly over German iron imports. It is arguably the case that this much-needed supply of iron to the German state is what extended the Great War into its stalemated nature in the 1920’s. Needless to say, both sides of the deal were quite pleased. Even the Russian Empire was not particularly upset, their tempers having been satiated by the plethora of railroad tariffs implemented along the lucrative Hrodna-Minsk-Homyel’ line.<br/><br/>Another result of the German influence in Byelorussia was one that would arguably have even more far-reaching influences on the future Byelorussian state. A secret, illicit plot of weakening, perhaps even annihilating Russian influence in Byelorussia, a plot that would ensure a culturally distinct, racially unique buffer state between the German and Russian Empires. Indeed, the German Empire in Berlin, through their Minister in Byelorussia Maximilian Huber, administrated, in virtual darkness from the Russian Empire, a gradual de-Russification of the Byelorussian territories. Or, due to the implementation of the German strategy and the eventual Russian countering to their de-Russification, this plan would more aptly be titled a Byelorussification. The initial phases of the Byelorussification were seemingly harmless, and logically valid to the Russian administration under Trubetsky. Internal reforms such as the implementation of Latin alphabet signs in major trade towns along the Hrodna-Minsk-Homyel’ and increased school and church constructions went mostly unhindered by the Russian administration, seeing these as tangible improvements to the old Byelorussia, particularly the emphasis on education, which brought to mind the astoundingly low literacy rate in the Empire for such a world-rate power. But what was under the surface, unseen to the Russians who were so focused on eradicating the Bolsheviks back home, was what these schools were teaching. While the Imperial Russian Army marched to crush the soviets in Petrograd, the new Huber administration-funded primary and secondary schools were training all urban and some rural Byelorussian youths in subjects akin to those taught in Prussian gymnasia. Education was facilitated through the Byelorussian language, and Byelorussian children were schooled in both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. Generally, the more urban secondary schools would offer a smattering of foreign language training, German, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian among those (the latter three being extensively emphasized as separate, distinct languages from Byelorussian). Huber sponsored the writing and manufacturing of new, Byelorussian-centered pro-German textbooks. This time, it was the German attaché who hired Karsky and his colleague Mitrofan Viktorovich Dovnar-Zapol'skiy to draft a revisionist history of the Byelorussians. Needless to say, the two historiographers were more than happy to accept. And while these illicit, secret dealings (for it was, as Huber himself stated in an address to the Byelorussian Scholastic Committee in 1921, “imperative that you [the schoolmasters and teachers of these new Gymnasia] would take the utmost care to not let a single instance, a single inkling of your noble Byelorussian teachings slip into the vicious grasp of the Russian Empire… Such an occurrence would be most unfortunate for the future of the Byelorussian peoples, for my own future, and obviously for your own”) were happening, Russian Minister Alexei Trubetsky, moved by the advancement of Byelorussian education and blissfully unaware of the anti-Russian implications sprouting in his very own condominium, announced his full backing for the construction of a Condominium-supported, Russo-German joint funded post-secondary institution in Byelorussia on May 7th, 1922. While the Great War was growing in horribleness and amplitude, Byelorussians, Germans, and Russians alike contributed to the construction and foundation of an institution that would cement the rise and formation of the culturally distinct Byelorussian ethnos. And on January 10th, 1923, the Byelorussian State University was official established. It was a grand occasion. The great Byelorussian poet Yanka Kupala was invited to take the position of Chancellor of the University, and rising Byelorussian composer Naum Izrailevich Luria also took up residence in the University, much to the success publicity-wise of the joint-administered institution.<br/><br/>The two years leading up to 1925 were more or less uneventful for the Byelorussian Condominium. While the devastating Great War wound to its close to the west, and whilst the Bolshevik movement in Russia was breathing its last breaths, the nascent Byelorussian steel industry quietly and slowly expanded. The gymnasia and University operated more or less untouched, and a steady trickle of Poles, Germans, and Ukrainians continued to enter Byelorussian borders. However, with the 1925 end of the Great War, and the subsequent split between Prussia and Bavaria (and thusly the destruction of the German Empire), came the demise of the Condominium, as per the 1916 and 1917 terms assigned by the Ruthenian Compromise and the Minsk Proclamation, which were signed solely with the German Empire and its plenipotentiaries. Petrograd took this chance to send a miniscule contingent of the Imperial Russian Army to Byelorussia, booting out former Minister Maximilian Huber, who fled to his hometown in Dresden. Seeking an opportunity to consolidate Russian power in Byelorussia, but lacking the resources or support to directly reannex and readminister the region, due to more pressing concerns regarding the Bolsheviks and anti-Russian sentiments in Ukraine and the Baltic regions, the Imperial administration welcomed the Byelorussian territories in the simplest way it could: creating an arbitrarily defined, vaguely Russian-controlled client state.<br/><br/>As such, on February 6th, 1926, former Russian Minister in Byelorussia, a nearly decade long resident in Minsk, Alexei Trubetsky was crowned, in a rushed, barebones ceremony in Petrograd, by Russian Tsar Nicholas II, to be the First Prince of Byelorussia.<br/><br/>The Condominium and its Ministers have fallen. Long reign the Prince and His Principality.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>-The Golden Era (1926-1970)</b></span><br/><br/>Nominally remaining under the Russian Empire, the now-called Principality of Byelorussia got really really better. Population exploded, industry was strengthened, became really nice and friendly to neighbours despite officially being Russian, maintained Byelorussian identity for some so-far unknown reason, maintained the freedoms of its people, shining beacon of liberty, et cetera, et cetera.<br/><br/>Then Russia died and all became not well.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>-The Republican Era (1970-Present)</b></span><br/><br/>Byelorussia really sucks right now. The Mafiya overrunning the east and north, floods of poor, antagonistic Russian refugees pouring into Homyel’ and Vicebsk, a declining steel industry, and a western Ukraino-Polish superstate neighbor increasingly indifferent to Byelorussian woes but increasingly interested in Byelorussian internal affairs are all contributing factors."

Moving in from their Korean territory, and with massive support from their families back home, Japanese soldiers made quick work of the warlords of Northern China. Through many individual incursions fired in quick succession, all of Manchuria was eventually added to Japan's collection of mainland holdings. After a brief wait, Japan began it's move South, taking Beijing in another series of short-lived battles against unorganized and unprepared Chinese soldiers and civilians. With the North firmly under Japanese control, Hirohito granted the title of Emperor of Munchukoko to Puyi, a claimant to the Qing throne.<br/><br/>With continued support back home, and nothing standing in their way, Japan continued int's incursion along the Chinese coast, taking everything from Tianjin to Nanjing before finally slowing to a halt. Despite the desire of both the Emperor and his people for a continued conquest, resources were running low, and it was deemed best to firm Japanese grip on the territories they held rather than continue their push with no guarantee of being able to sustain themselves.<br/><br/>All while these incursions into China were going on, Unit 731 operated in the background, performing inhumane experiments on an unknown number of individuals from all across Japans empire for many years, all while their secrets were kept even from Japanese citizens, and many Japanese soldiers. Even those tasked with defending the compound which Unit 731 worked out of knew little of what all was going on inside.<br/><br/>Within Japan itself, peace found a home, while many true Japanese citizens enjoyed comfortable lives, completely unaffected by their war to the West. Even parents felt their children were safe with how easy many of the battles in China were.<br/><br/>However, as always, peace was not allowed to last.<br/><br/>Having been able to hold their footing for so long, it was generally thought that China had just given up their will to fight against Japan, and many Japanese soldiers even joked about the idea of China fighting back. Support for and confidence in Japanese troops was through the roof, and the idea of further occupation of China was once again a discussion. What the Empire and those that made the decisions back at home didn't know, though, was that the ministers that had been appointed to the Chinese coastal holdings were not actually gathering any intelligence in China, and instead were simply stating out of confidence and arrogance that Japanese troops could handle whatever China had to offer.<br/><br/>So when the Chinese finally struck back against Japan, nobody was prepared, and many Japanese soldiers lost their lives, while the rest were forced to retreat again and again until Japan was finally forces completely out of the Chinese coast. Following the defeat and exposure of unit 731, as well as the destruction of the Japanese Naval Base in Dalain, Japan was forced to abandon Puyi to his own people, resulting once more in the destruction of a Qing Empire. Holding firm in Korea, and ensuring the safety of Taiwan, the Japanese government threw all plans for China out the window, and focused solely on defending against a possible Chinese retaliation, as well as against small rebels that formed in the wake of the humiliating loss of nearly all Chinese territory.<br/><br/>At this point, morale in Japan sunk to an all time low. The people were angry at the government for allowing their family members to die so easily, the government was angry at the military for failing to withstand the Chinese, and the military was angry with the civilians for not being able to support them better. Meanwhile, group after group of rebels were appearing in Indonesia, Korea, New Guinea and Taiwan following the release of the information on Unit 731, and what they were doing to the civilians of said territories.<br/><br/>For years, Japan was reduced to infighting, unable to really support, yet alone begin rebuilding it's military. Between nationalist rebels in Indonesia and Papua New Gunea, civilian mobs in Taiwan and Communist rebels in Korea, the Japanese military shrunk and shrunk until it seemed like the Empire would collapse from the inside. However, with the installation of a new general in the Southern Islands, the rebels were able to be outmaneuvered, and eventually crushed.<br/><br/>Directly following the restoration of order to the South, however, was the Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Severely out manned, Japan barely put up a fight before evacuating what troops it could from Taiwan. Meanwhile in Korea, the Chinese-backed Communist rebels were able to take the Northern portion of the country under their control, and would hold it without problem until Hirohito agreed to the Tokyo Treaty which, along with the return of Taiwan to China, saw an independent North Korean state established.<br/><br/>The year following, Japan returned to isolation. With all of it's rebellions over, and peace with China in the foreseeable future, Japan was able to finally lick it's wounds, and begin it's path to recovery. After just two more deaths.<br/><br/>In 1974, Emperor Hirohito died of a heart attack caused by extreme stress, and severe emotional distraught caused by the death of his first grandson following an assassination attempt on his own life. The Prince Akihito was the only person to hear the last words of his father, which he has not divulged to anybody.<br/><br/>In May of 1975, Akihito officially ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne, and immediately put a law into place disallowing Communism within the Empire. Any who were found were immediately imprisoned, with a handful in Korea put to death for it, out of fear of the Empire's last mainland holding rebelling and joining it's Northern counterpart. This, of course, sparked another small rebellion which the Emperor was immediately scolded for publicly.However, it was exactly what Akihito wanted. A justifiable reason to quickly remove dissidents from the Empire, and secure it's future stability. Using both superior tactics and new technology, Japan was able to quickly remove the rebels, accepting a surrender from those who remained.<br/><br/>With all internal threats dealt with for the time being, Akihito was able to have the nation truly focus on rebuilding. Infrastructure in both the mainland and overseas territories was greatly improved, technology was caught up to be more modernized, and the military overall was greatly improved, with both equipment and training.<br/><br/>Having regained the footing it lost to China years ago, Japan now has finished recovering, and is ready to make it's mark on the world stage once again. Looking to the West, Japan has seen the same dislike of China and communists that it's people feel, leading it to begin the steps out of isolation, and towards finding friends with the enemies of it's enemy."

It's pretty much what I had in mind after Palestine became independent, so all that's really changed is me describing what would have happened in the years for the timeskip. I think it also makes much more sense than my last summary.<br/><br/><b>Levantine History</b><br/><br/>Following the break away of Armenia, upper Syria immediately followed suit, starting it's own rebellion against the Ottoman Empire, while also effectively cutting off it's land access to Palestine, Jordan, Egypt and Libya. In an act of resentment, the Ottomans formed troops of able-bodied men from these four territories in order to combat the Syrians, while also basically sending them to their deaths, in order to wipe out anyone who could possibly send further territories into separate rebellions.<br/><br/>One of the soldiers of these units was a young Palestinian named Jellal, who, after losing his eye to a Syrian rebel, was discharged. However, before leaving for home, he overheard a conversation between two Turkish officers, explaining the purpose of the ""Southern Brigades.""<br/><br/>Immediately, he met up with a friend he had made while enlisted, and explained the situation to him. As word spread, many soldiers began to go missing, having run to Palestine to join the new rebel faction Jelal had started. Beginning by diverting supplies heading for Egypt, eventually a full-on confrontation began in Jerusalem, and the rebels were driven South to Beersheba, where they took over an Ottoman Military Base. From here they would operate until the Ottomans fell.<br/><br/>A month after taking Beersheba, the Palestinian rebels, along with their new friends who had rebelled and taken Jordan, worked together to secure Southern Palestine, and eventually began a march into SInai. Meanwhile, up North, the main force of the Palestinian rebels marched on Jerusalem, hoping to take their capital which would give them the supplies needed to end their war, and eventually focus fully on the occupation of Egypt. In order to fool the Ottomans, they sent a small group of mainly artillery as a diversion to the West of Jerusalem, while the main force snuck around the East. However, a ""spy"" had run to the Ottomans and told them of the Palestinian plan, hoping for a pardon when the rebellion was ended. Instead, he was executed, and the Ottoman army set up an ambush.<br/><br/>Just as they thought they were going to win, the rebel army was attacked from the North, East and South all at once. Spread out and disorganized, as well as outgunned against the Ottoman tanks, the rebels were driven to a corner, with most of their people wiped out. Just when things seemed their darkest, and when all hope had seemed lost, the Ethiopian army stormed in, taking out the Ottoman regiments and saving the PLA. After the city was taken, the surviving members of the PLA joined the Ethiopians until the Ottomans eventually collapsed, and ceded all rebels their territories.<br/><br/>With the Ottomans out of the way, most expected peace, but it was not going to happen. Tensions between Syria and Palestine rose, as both hoped to form a united Levant. However, exhausted from the rebellions, and low on resources, the conflict was a cold war more than anything. A few deaths along the border happened, but were generally rare.<br/><br/>Eventually, both sides realized that no progress was being made and agreed to sit down together and sort things out.<br/><br/>After months of shouting, talking and negotiating, it was decided that a union between the two states was optimal. The only issue that stuck was that of whether Jerusalem or Damascus would serve as the countries capital, which is still unresolved, thus the nation, in a sense, has two. Taking on the name of the Levantine Confederation, it now stands as a union of states in the Eastern Mediterranean, with close ties to Ethiopia thanks to their help in the Palestinian Liberation Campaign, with Jelal himself having even gone with the group of Palestinians that followed Ras Hassan back."

So there's that, could either have that compressed given the chaotic political window between then and now given the Sultan's sudden death and the current state of Precipice, or it could play out over long with - if you want - Palestine picking up with the ""cold war"" between them and Syria."

Her ties with Germany led her to shelter those who chose to fled the allies and their victorious armies but the presence of pro-allied Brazil just to the north kept her from getting heavily involved in any serious way. From time to time Argentine ports allowed access to Central Powers ships and submarines, even sheltering them from allied pursuit from time to time.<br/><br/>Following the end of the Great War Argentina found itself without any real allies and a strongly suspicious neighbour to the north. This was a time of unrest in the country as various groups began to struggle for power, both those who supported a more pro-allied approach and those who refused to leave their old allies in a lurch. Without a strong central government the country was wracked by numerous outbreaks of violence as successive governments struggled to try and bring order with little success.<br/><br/>The great depression damaged Argentina less than most given that the majority of its economy was focused inward, and more likely since it did not have much to lose to begin with. Numerous military juntas would seize power over the next 30 years, each simply replacing the other as the upper echelons of military officers fought for control, the fighting rarely managing to make it's way down to your average citizen, most of whom only wanted to be left alone.<br/><br/>The fear of Communism finally pushed a proper government into power, a military junta that actually enjoyed plenty of popular support. There would be a period of calm when the country saw little movement in government but arrests and kidnappings began to climb at an alarming rate. It did not take long for this to drive unrest within the average Argentine to question the wisdom of allowing an unchecked military junta.<br/><br/>1950 dawns and the unrest and anger that has been simmering beneath the surface finally comes to a boil and the country explodes into open revolt as peasants, led by rogue General Juan Domingo Perón, rise up all across the country. In an orgy of blood letting nearly half the Argentine ruling military elite is dragged into the streets and massacred while troops look on, rarely lifting a finger to prevent the slaughter. It is a strange revolt for this outside the country looking in as peasants rampage willing while soldiers look on. In the end over 3,000 officers are killed with only a handful of soldiers and peasants lost in the process.<br/><br/>General Juan Domingo Perón is elected president in a landslide vote not long afterwards and he immediately sets to work building the Argentine economy into one of the most powerful in the Americas. His agreement to join the SAC is not widely popular since most see it as a Brazilian power grab but it does allow Argentina to access new markets that have, until this time been closed off to her.<br/><br/>As 1980 dawns President Juan Domingo Perón. continues to increase the Argentine economic situation though rumours increasingly suggest that he has been padding his own pockets and those of his cabinet."

Because it has lore, a lot of it is already decided and can't be changed, but you are free to add your own details to it. You are also free to make up whatever has happened in recent times.

The US has been hurting for some good direction. I'm sure you'll do a good job of it.<br/><br/>The US has always been a popular choice with a lot of players, but unfortunately, most of them eventually drop out after they've made vast and often-bizarre changes to the country. For example, the the United States had a socialist president for a term basically because le communism is liek totally epic cool XD. In order to accommodate these changes, initially we would perform some substantial reworking of the backstory just so they didn't seem quite as ridiculous alongside everything else. We've become stricter about this now have new players conform to our lore rather than conform the lore to new players."

</blockquote><br/><br/>I tried to create a back-story that would be relatively easy to take up, since we were afraid that having a vague and confusing web of basic ideas would scare people away. We can definitely rejig it so long as the most basic aspects remain the same.<br/><br/>The most important thing is this; that there is some civil war at the start that causes some reasonable break off state that includes Florida to become independent for a period of time, only to unite later on. At some point, there is a conflict with Canada that causes territories to change hands. And at some point, either in the distant or recent past, some form of mild socialism causes the US to align with China."

Michael Norman (Ret.) (D, VA)<br/><br/>General of the Army Michael Norman, veteran of the First North American War and hero of the Second North American War, was Chief of Staff for the Army who had his eyes on the presidency in 1980. The occupation of Washington by disgruntled soldiers threw a monkey wrench into his plans. As chief of staff, Norman voluntarily went into the city alone and negotiated with the soldiers who controlled it. Norman ended the occupation of DC, commanding the soldiers to stand down without any repercussions, which allowed peaceful elections to take place that fall. His reputation as a war hero and his actions in DC led to his landslide election. A native of Virginia, Norman is a democrat who looks to the legacy of Washington and the other Virginian presidents and is committed to surpassing them in all deeds.<br/><br/>Vice President: Russell Reed (D, GA)<br/><br/>Reed is an old holdover from the Socialist South. A congressional lifer with contacts and alliances all across the country, he was picked by Norman to help him carry the rest of the country outside of the South and the army. He is the only man in US history to have served as both Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader. Reed accepting the vice president nomination was seen as a total surprise by nearly everyone and brings up numerous questions as to why Reed would sacrifice his political power for a powerless job like the vice president.<br/><br/>Secretary of State: Lillian Mather (D, CA)<br/><br/>Lillian Mather is the first female Secretary of State in US history. She graduated from Harvard University with a masters in political science, followed by a doctorate in the same subject from UC Berkley. She then began to work for the State Department and the Council on Foreign Affairs. She was a senior State Department official during the SNAW and helped negotiate the Trilateral Peace between the three warring powers. When Norman was elected, she was a natural choice to become Secretary of State.<br/><br/>Secretary of Defense: Admiral Phillip Dalton (Ret.) (R, NY)<br/><br/>Like Norman, Phillip Dalton is a former commander in the SNAW. While Norman oversaw the ground war, Dalton led the naval forces against the Canadian and Spanish. Dalton’s three carrier battle groups decimated the coalition of battleships in the Battle of the Outer Banks. Dalton was promoted to Five Stars and appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff after the war. Dalton and the rest of the chiefs, frustrated at the current administration and their lackluster support of the military, gave political support to Norman during his run for president. Dalton was tabbed as Secretary of Defense days after Norman’s election.<br/><br/><b>History:</b><br/><br/>The United States of America is currently in a time of rebuilding. Two wars over the last twenty years have fractured the country’s political and cultural unity. The recent controversial election of war hero Michael Norman has caused discord across the country questioning the value of democracy if elections are to be held at gunpoint. Norman has resigned his commission from the army and is now a civilian, promising to act only in the nation’s best interest and seeks to unify the country. A second war with Canada and their ally Spain led to new territorial gains for the country. Casscadia, split up into northern and southern states, is poised to join the union as the 49th and 50th state. Armed troops still occupy the territory in case the once independent country decides to seek independence once more.<br/><br/>Allied with Norman are his cabinet, some of the best legislative, diplomatic, and military minds in the country. With them at his side he plans to revitalize the United States and reclaim the nation’s hegemony in the Americas and expand its influence around the world. When it comes to congress, he has the vice president at his disposal to put a bit of lash about and help his legislation get passed. Everything from job creation to voting rights and welfare reform are part of the new president’s legislative agenda. He has declared a new day for the United States, a country that will be ready to manifest its destiny as one of the world's superpowers.<br/><br/>The biggest issues facing the nation at the moment includes continued rebuilding from war, breaking the Solid South’s stranglehold on denying civil rights to minority citizens, job creation and industrial growth, and further expansion of the US military in the name of peace and safety for the country. Congress has a solid minority of Socialists who plan to block and harangue President Norman’s more conservative legislation. In military affairs the key is to increase military benefits to keep serving veterans in the armed forces, as well as attracting new recruits with the promise of a steady job with good pay."

And in those cases it's usually been ""last year's model"", although the CP1960 hasn't been updated in fuck-a-long time so it's stopped being relevant to that rule. The only exception to the Chinese rule in so far has been the Ethiopians.<br/><br/>If we're rolling on the presumption the US was briefly a member of the Chinese socialist club and then left for unexplored reasons in this new vision of the US then it's likely anything sold to them as surplus likely stopped coming the moment they left the International (at around that time enough people were pissy at the US for their annexation of the Cascade territories they were going into a trial of sorts).

But in other respects, the Philippines is cursed, particularly economically: The State Ownership of property has harmed the economy, private enterprise is only safegaurded at the small-business level, and Freedom of Speech, though officially protected, is unofficially restricted by subtle means. Not merely that, but there is a Chinese Military Presence in the islands, although even their presence pales before the economic grievances of the Filipinos, especially in the countryside, where redistribution and collective farming has failed.<br/><br/>At the same time, however, the Filipinos enjoy a standard of physical health that people in other countries would envy, thanks to the extension of universal healthcare. Mental Health, on the other hand, is in a murkier situation, due to the presence of misconceptions about conditions such as Autism, ADHD, and other, more severe mental health problems, misconceptions and obsolete data implemented all across the asylums and treatment centers ran by the Government, and amplified by popular superstition. This has led to incidents of malpractice, and even medical experimentation. While this is the case all over the world, in the Philippines, this has led to minor and major grievances. Nevertheless, the welfare system is still popular, although people are arguing for a needs-based system.<br/><br/>Not to mention that President Ramon Cristobal's administration has been implicated in several corruption and sexual scandals, in a wide spread across the party. As the Philippines is under a multi-party system, albeit a multi-party system where the ruling Christian Socialists have been able to keep their monopoly on power since the Chinese Occupation, this has resulted in other groups and interests, whose power had been steadily increasing for the past few decades, finally moving to try and take power.<br/><br/>One of these groups is the Philippine Social Democratic Party, a group whose platform is based on a combination of privatization of state assets and encouragement of private enterprise, high welfare benefits, a decoupling of the Government from issues of Mental Health, and increased freedoms all across the board. Cultural issues are the restoration of Manila as the 'Pearl of the Orient', a reduction of Chinese artistic and architectrural influence in favor of Western, Latin American, and Indian models, and, as a bargaining chip with the Chinese Mainland, a more militant stance towards Spain, advocating the sending of troops against that country; the irony of looking towards Spain as a cultural model while sending troops to kill Spaniards is not lost on anyone."

Also, here was what I was going to post once someone else posted:<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">
      Andres Malvar, 16 years old, was one of the rarest people in this world, a 'casual' wargamer. And, by casual, that meant that he wargamed for fun, not to practice war, well, most of the time he played for fun. However, with all the turmoil going on in the world, an army or navy's worth of minatures was hard to come by, and so he instead made his own out of scra metal and a mold, en masse.<br/><br/>Where did his knowledge of wargaming come from? Well, he was a military brat, one whose father came from the Philippine Constabulary originally, then became a rebel, then sided with the Chinese during the invasion. Now he was an officer who doted upon his son, his only child since the deaths of his first two daugthers. Either way, he passed on his knowledge of wargaming to Andres, who found ready playmates in the children of other officers.<br/><br/>However, Andres was getting bored with just wargaming, at least with modern armies. It's not that said modern armies were bad, per se, it's just that they were the ones most often used, due to there being more spare minatures for them than for say, medieval armies. Which, ironically, was what led Andres to make up his own miniatures in the first place; he wanted to play a Medieval Army!<br/><br/>""You know,"" spoke a voice from behind him; the boy was in his room, ""you can make a great sculptor someday, if you don't want to be a strategist."" It was his father, Tarcillio Malvar. ""Or perhaps an author, you have the imagination. Of course,"" he said, ""<i>Walang pera dyan</i> (No Money There), <i>ngunit walang pera kahit saan</i> (But no Money anywhere),"" one of his subtle jibes at the Socialist Government.<br/><br/>""<i>Alam ko</i> (I know),"" replied Andres. ""Anyway, want to hear my idea?"" he said in English once more. Andres' idea was for a game involving <i>individual</i> minatures, where one can play a lone hero or group of heroes facing off against monsters drawn from Filipino Legend. He thought of calling it <i>Sword and Sorcery</i>, because those were the two main themes of his planned game. Once he was done explaining, Tarcillio said:<br/><br/>""That's a great idea! Worthy of a novelist, even,"" the officer was proud of his son. ""That's just like Science Fiction, except with Magic. Do you have a story planned?"" Andreas smiled, and, after getting up from his bed and getting some notes from the drawer, spoke about his setting, which was an original world that, again, drew from Filipino Legend with Christianized elements:<br/><br/>""A long time ago, there was The One, Bathala, who created the Anito, the Spirits. The Anito, under Bathala's guidance, created the world, while Bathala himself created two people, <i>Malakas</i> (Strength), and <i>Maganda</i> (Beauty), who then interbred with the <i>Diwata</i> (Minor Gods who, under Spanish times, were relegated to the position of fairy-like figures), creating the present race of Humanity.""<br/><br/>""But not all was well, but one of the Anito, <i>Masilaw</i> (Glaring, in the sense of too much light), grew jealous of both Bathala and his peers, and rebelled against them, using as his cause the ascending status of Humanity, who were growing to equal the Anitos. His lie was that Bathala wanted to replace the Anitos with Humanity and the Diwata, and many Anito believed him, and so the War of Supremacy began.""<br/><br/>""Masilaw first struck at Humanity, creating the Law of Mortality, which caused all humans, everywhere, to suffer death, if not now, then eventually. Then he sent out <i>Dilim</i> (Darkness), <i>Tanikalang Ginto</i> (Golden Chain), at <i>Karnal</i> (Carnal), to tempt Humanity and bind it to its base desires, preventing them from ascending to a higher state. Then, he shaped various <i>Halimaw</i>, or Monsters, to plague humanity and further distract them from ascending.""<br/><br/>""Eventually, Bathala and his forces struck Masilaw down, trapping him in the Abyss. But, it was too late to save Humanity, for King <i>Buhawi</i> (Windstorm), used the 'Sparks of Creation' that went into the making of Malakas and Maganda, fragments of Bathala himself, and created The Shroud, a barrier that divided Humanity from The One and the Anito. The Shroud meant that all messages from Bathala to Humanity can only be transmitted to, or via Humans, humans who can freely misinterpret or edit the messages. Why did King Buhawi do this? Well, I'll elaborate on it tomorrow...""

Edit: And new app.

Nation:
Serbia

Leader:
Neven Dragan

History: 

The early history of Serbia begins with the formation of the Black Hand in late 1901. They were founded with the idea of pushing for the unification of all areas with a significant Serb population into one state, and later towards the start of the Great War they also wanted the unification of all South Slavs into one big state. The Black Hand had much influence from the unification of Germany, often using it as a model for their own Serb Unification. Of particular note is that the Black Hand through their connections with the group known as Young Bosnia pushed for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and thus is often blamed for starting the Great War. They also trained saboteurs and spies, deploying them to stir up Serbs in Austrian-controlled areas.

During the Great War many Generals and other political figures joined the Black Hand, a lot of them were on the extreme Right-Wingers, making the Black Hand into a very fascist-like movement, although their ideology was never referred to as Fascism. The Black Hand directed much of the Serbia’s war effort, and during the Austrian occupation was responsible for causing riots in cities across Serbia to fight off the occupation. Despite Russia leaving the war and thus the loss of support from them the Black Hand remained strong and did their best to free Serbia.

Following the Great War Todor Pavle took leadership of the Black Hand, and in a planned coup seized control of Serbia from the returning Royal Family. The Royal Family was executed, as increasingly  Right-Winged Black Hand saw the need for a different government. The Black Hand took over, and instituted their policies. This lead to increased focused on building a strong industry so Serbia could be more independent in regards to industrial goods, and increased militarization of Serbia. They also instituted various welfare programs, so as to strengthen the Serbian People.

With a strengthened military Serbia launched wars against Albania and Macedonia, occupying them both. They used resources from the areas to strengthen Serbia itself, while often abusing and leaving the cities, towns, and people of the newly occupied areas to rot. Todor Pavle did end up moving many Serbs into Macedonia however, leading it to be repaired by the Black Hand. Albania did not change however, with the area left broken and bruised.

In the late 1960s current leader of the Black Hand, and by extension Serbia, Todor Pavle died. The much younger Neven Dragan took control of the Black Hand, and while Todor Pavle was content to leave communists and other left-wingers alone so long as they did not speak publicly about their ideology, Neven was much more radical, and saw them as one of the biggest obstacles to a United Serbian State, and by extension a United South Slav State. He began a active campaign of eliminating any and all communists or other left-winged persons. The spies of the Black Hand began secretly joining these groups, uprooting them and bringing them to public executions, a brutal but effective method of scaring the rest.

Another radical move on the part of Neven was his hiring of the Mafiya, as he saw the need for backup in-case Serbia got it self in a war and the need for more arms. In the early 70s he negotiated with the Mafiya, giving them free reign over Albania as well as political positions in the area in exchange that they would act as a PMC in the event of war and that they would smuggle higher-quality arms for the Serbian Army. While they have not been allowed expand into the actual are of Serbia or Macedonia, they still have tried. This has often led to military checkpoints of the region borders between the Serbian areas and Albania, and Mafiya activity is rampant in a few smaller towns on those borders."

All Prussia had to do was tell France that it (France) wouldn't benefit from the war, and that it would probably lose it (which was bullshit considering France was pretty powerful back then and, in the RP, the Prussians were at war with Austria and England) - an exchange that didn't even happen in IC. France then withdrew its support for Austria based on these ""recommendations"" from Prussia, and then swan-dived right into Prussia's pocket. Britain later left the war too, became friends with Prussia (after years of relentless fighting) and sold half of its goddamn fleet to Prussia for like.. half price or some shit. Actually, it may have been fucking free. I became Austria by then (taking over where the last player left off), but by then there was not a goddamn thing I could do to reverse the damage."

He was. But he only came about during the political turmoil that was a side-effect of the war in Vietnam and the ousting of the King.

This was way the fuck back in early PoW so without anything to compound it or make it interesting China basically said, ""We'll protect you from the mean old Europeans if you denounce French power"" and he said, ""Yea sure, OK.""


A fun thing about Pol Pot was that he wasn't just a total college drop out. He bombed higher education with all the colors of shit. And he ended up getting roped into a party that was all about that. And then they proceeded to murder everything.

Even if they were Turkey's initial expansion under Suleiman would have reversed the course of these gains. Back in the early seventies Suleiman wanted to embark on an over ambitious campaign to turn the Mediterranean into a Turkish lake. He got as far as Italy in Europe and I think up to or into Algeria before Ottoman expansion just sort of took a shit and started backpedaling.

I think Greece eventually had to be sold, or the British came in and liberated it (I'm not certain on this since Ottoman Greece lays claim to at least three different noncanonical situations) and the Balkans no doubt probably revolted out around the time Italy seized independence, if not briefly entered protection status under Germany briefly.</div>"

Their end goal is to overthrow the government and replace it with a system of strictness and zero tolerance policies, the rich 1% are public enemy number 1 while the homeless are the people of tomorrow. 

If USA is taken, ill keep looking<footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/thatguy"">@thatguy</a></footer></blockquote>

US is still taken.

Nations in play now:
China
Ethiopia/Pan-African Empire
Spain
Armenia
Persia (sorta)
Germany (if Hugs posts)
Romania
Hungary
Serbia
Japan (sorta)
Italy

A few nations such as China and I believe Ethiopia have some indirect dibs on other nations as an influence factor, so as such they may have largely been written up in some form by the parent nation. And other nations, like the ex-Ottoman Empire has been dabbled in cooperatively by several nations (Armenia, Persia, Ethiopia, and a bit of Spain). So keep asking.

The most untouched region is most likely South America. But that still comes with some stuff written already that you'll need to incorporate.</div>"

Nation: The Federative Republic of Brazil

Leader: President Adriano Claro

History: Brazil suffered a rocky history until 1950, after its limited participation in the First World War. The battle between rising corporate interests and the government shook the nation to its core, with the influence of these powerful magnates finally removed in the early 1950s. Since then, Brazil has integrated and formed closer ties with its South American neighbors, culminating in the South American Confederacy formed by President Claro during his first term, an organization formed for joint South American military assistance and trade management. In 1970, there was a major rebellion of so-called ""Brazilian patriots"" who opposed integration with the other South American countries, which was inevitably crushed.

Brazil, like the rest of South America, has long been focused inward, but with the beginning of Adriano Claro's first term in 1976, he sought to foster ties with like-minded nations such as Ethiopia and the rising Armenian nation. Military collaboration and trade agreements were created with the Slavic Union of Poland and Ukraine. Though wary of overextension, Claro desires to help combat the great powers of Spain and China, as well as keeping a wary eye on its northern Anglo neighbor.

Brazil during Adriano Claro's first term has sought a middle way between the rabid capitalism that characterizes Spain and the staunch communism professed by China and its allies. The economy is mixed between state control and private enterprise, with the core industries managed by the state and smaller businesses and industries left in private hands. This path is opposed both by the Liberals and Communists in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, but for now Claro's Brazilian People's Party holds a majority with the Liberals a close second.

Edit: I was reading over the IC regarding the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, but Evan's storyline is just way too constricting for me to be able to operate creatively there.</div>"

Firstly is the SAC as it stands. It was downgraded to and should remain a system of loosely tying and integrated economic connections between the regional states. It doesn't - or shouldn't - extend to military cooperation. At least not for the foreseeable future. Argentina too is proactively pro-Spain as per Tempest. Although Tempest disappeared he did manage to come up with some things for he and Googer to run over the course of the RP so they will remain that.

As per diplomatic ties to Ethiopia and Poland we agreed that Brazil shouldn't have the power or ability to project themselves into Africa, Eastern Europe, or the Caucus. Brazil now shouldn't have the access to loans like they did in the forties to actively deploy troops to the European theater as they did. They're on their own in the region. What they can do however is send in volunteer brigades: simply weakly trained soldiers with second hand gear or what they can pick up from home and going off into conflict for ideological reasons. But these individuals wouldn't be anything more than militia tier. In a narrative aspect they'd exist mostly to allow you to write and explore an aspect of conflict, but wouldn't carry Brazilian interests.

Some points in your app could do with some expanding to make me comfortable.

As far as the military thing it was intended to be a forum where agreement could be reached concerning military matters and transfer of equipment, rather than as an actual alliance. If this is still no-go then let me know.

That's pretty much exactly what I was planning on doing, except perhaps also giving them spare equipment and aid to bring over there to assist further, since given their shared colonial past and mildly socialist tendencies they would feel a close kinship with the Ethiopians. They wouldn't be army, but we would still support them covertly rather than letting them go with virtually nothing.

I could use some advice on which points I should expand on.

I thought we had already established this in 1977, but duly noted.

Edit: The whole drug lord busting operation was the best thing I could think of in terms of that sort of loose military rendezvous.</div>"

Nation: The Federative Republic of Brazil

Leader: President Adriano Claro

History: Brazil suffered a rocky history until 1950, after its limited participation in the First World War. The battle between rising corporate interests and the government shook the nation to its core, with the influence of these powerful magnates finally removed in the early 1950s. Since then, Brazil has integrated and formed closer ties with its South American neighbors, culminating in the South American Confederacy formed by President Claro during his first term, an organization formed for joint South American military assistance and trade management. In 1970, there was a major rebellion of so-called ""Brazilian patriots"" who opposed integration with the other South American countries, which was inevitably crushed. Despite this outburst of sentiment, Brazil has settled into a working relationship with the vast majority of the other South American nations as a natural hegemon, but not one bent on conquest or overwhelming influence. Under Sofia Veracruz's presidency from 1968-1976 and Claro's presidency thus far until 1980, Brazil has undergone a program of aggressive economic expansion promoted by the state both through fairly high taxes (which have not failed to provoke resentment) as well as through what little loans could be acquired from the international market. As such, the economic situation in Brazil has improved considerably, but poverty and underdevelopment in rural areas is still a considerable problem. Brazil has fairly modern military forces dating from the 1950s and 60s, with a small airforce but reasonably sized navy and good quality infantry equipment and armor purchased mostly from Poland.

Brazil, like the rest of South America, has long been focused inward, but with the beginning of Adriano Claro's first term in 1976, he sought to foster ties with like-minded nations such as Ethiopia and the rising Armenian nation. Military collaboration and trade agreements were created with the Slavic Union of Poland and Ukraine. Though wary of overextension, Claro desires to help combat the great powers of Spain and China, as well as keeping a wary eye on its northern Anglo neighbor. Tensions have begun rising between Brazil and the other major power on the continent, Argentina, as Argentina has stepped out of line in tilting toward Spain. This is likely to be the most important foreign policy issue of the 1980-1984 term, aside from the Spanish invasion of Ethiopia.

Brazil during Adriano Claro's first term has sought a middle way between the rabid capitalism that characterizes Spain and the staunch communism professed by China and its allies. The economy is mixed between state control and private enterprise, with the core industries managed by the state and smaller businesses and industries left in private hands. This path is opposed both by the Liberals and Communists in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, but for now Claro's Brazilian People's Party holds a majority with the Liberals a close second. Claro's platform for his reelection in August 1980 is continued domestic economic expansion under state-controlled oversight and stimulus, and continued close ties with Brazil's natural allies in Ethiopia and Armenia, while the rival Communist party favors closer relations with China and an adoption of its brand of communism, and the Liberal party closer relations and economic revision in favor of the more moderate capitalist powers, such as Britain and Australia. Reconciliation with Spain is virtually out of the question for any except the most extreme of right-wing politicians. During Claro's first term, he also implemented several reforms aiming to eliminate corruption and strengthen Brazilian democratic institutions, such as the implementation of the instant runoff vote and the elimination of restrictions on the private press that existed as a remnant of Brazil's authoritarian days.</div>"

Man, it's really been a long time since I've been here. From what I've heard, a lot's been changed; some stuff is non-canon now, and new players are in the mix. It really is unbelievable for a nearly 4-year-old forum series.

For the record, I'd just like to go ahead and say that no, I'm not here to pick the reigns back up with the Russian Republic; honestly, I never really did a good job telling their story in the first place, and frankly I just can't bring myself to playing as the Somalia of the world (it's just something I'd neither enjoy nor be able to really do well at all).

I <span class=""bb-i"">would</span>, however, like to take on a whole new story. I've had two ideas in mind:

1. Revival of an idea that another user had back on the minecraft forums, i.e. a ""Balkan League"" of various Marxist-Leninist states (Bulgaria, Albania, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia, and possibly Greece). The original one has since become non-canon, but I feel like a new and unrelated one could be made.

2. The idea I'm more in favour of--a union of Native American tribes (i.e. Sioux, Shoshone, Blackfeet, Nez Perce, Cheyenne, Comanche, etc.) who wish to rebel against the US and transform the western coast into large-scale tribal communes. This is obviously the most tricky to make work, as newcomer Byrd Man is in control of the US and might not be entirely happy about this idea. But hey, we can always work it out OOC...right?

Of course, there's always several other nations I could take control of, but honestly these two ideas just stick out to me. Again, concerning the second one, there'd always have to be some OOC communication between me and Byrd Man, and I'd have to refrain from doing anything questionable (i.e. making some US citizens ""rebel"" too, control enemy forces, etc.). Still, I guess the ideas are out there now.

And in any case, even if it's only for a short time, it's good to be back. :)

(EDIT: For the uninitiated, I was the guy who wrote up the Russian Republic under the username RevanRedeemed. Just for clarification.)</div>"

If we went through with it, this would be the third time a portion of the US attempted to break free in the last ten years. The US is finally at a point to where it's back to mostly being the country it used to be and I would really like to keep it intact at least for a little while. Plus, just from looking at the population figures of the US in 1980 only about .06 percent of the people in the census were Native Americans. That's a lot but not enough to take a significant amount of territory and continuously keep it out of enemy hands. Granted this is alternate history we're doing and this version of 1980 is different than the one we knew, but I still don't imagine a large enough Native force could pose enough of a threat to the US to get independence.</div>"

It's only non-canon because Aaron has little confidence in Brazil's position as a great power *grumble grumble*

We may be poor and mildly undeveloped, but goddamn it we can forge alliances halfway around the world!

There's always a point at which a country grows tired of fighting, especially with themselves. Hell, we don't even need the Natives to succeed in achieving independence; it's simply their goal, one that may not actually be achieved. It would be interesting to see only a resurgence of Native resistence, as opposed to either side succeeding.

Not saying you're wrong about the rather small size of the Native population, but I think there's more that should be taken into account.

1. The Natives would seek to establish communes. This would be a rather welcoming idea to leftists in the US--and with both the leftist remnants of the past wars and the rise of conservatism, the idea of a vast expanse of communes would be a welcome sight. If there wouldn't be leftists joining the group, there'd still be some amount of support.

2. International aid. No doubt some governments would be interested in a left-wing independence movement, be they for or against it. This can be game changing for both sides; say, if the Spanish aided the US in stopping the movement, or the Chinese aided the Natives.

3. Guerrilla warfare can be a powerful method--and who else to take part in it than the Native Americans?

4. The past few conflicts have exhausted the whole damn continent--though I guess it's ultimately up to you to decide your country's military power.

Forgive me if I sound condescending; in all honesty, that's not my intent, and I hope that's not the effect. Again, this is just to suggest that this goes beyond population. You're most likely right, in that on their own, they may not get very far. It is for this reason that they would likely seek international aid or attempt to swell their numbers by receiving a large influx of leftist supporters across the country. The latter would, of course, be a decision entirely up to you--one which I am sure you wouldn't permit ;)

I'm not gonna make a guess at the numerical size of the natives; that's another fact that'd be up to you.

Assuming this faction gets allowed in at all, are there any ground rules you'd have about their existence? They are in your country, after all.</div>"

For any form of league between Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia they have to agree to a south slav Union under Serbia.

Understandable, what with the past two wars between Canada and the US. However, those are the governments of each country that hate each other. There are likely large masses of civilians that feel the same way, too, but I doubt the natives of each country do. Why? Because both have suffered in similar ways under their respective governments. They share a common enemy in the oppressive white man, and both share their heritage as the original people of the Americas. The same applies between both of them and the indigenous Mexican tribes.

Remember, it isn't the white/Hispanic populace we're talking about here; it's the natives that have been oppressed. While the warring white man may not be so friendly towards the others around him, the natives would be.

Firstly, Native Americans in Canada are still way on the minority in terms of Canadian demographics. They couldn't possibly muster the numbers required to fight the ""ebil Europeans"" occupying their land. Like-wise, Canada experienced a wave of immigration from England during its period of Civil War which facilitated the current status of the nation. So they're still way too much on the minority to be of any issue.

As well in Mexico, the indigenous customs of the pre-Colombian natives are much more infused with the Mexican identity than that of the US or Mexico which overtook native customs and culture and replaced it with their own anglo-European customs. Many Mexicans are already natives already and are not particularly concerned with native uprisings. Reason being: why rebel against yourself? Mexican aboriginal culture assimilated itself with European ideology pretty readily.

If we're going to consider Religion as being the qualifier for whether or not a Mexican is truly aboriginal or not than they'd be just as much in the minority. Catholicism and the minorities of other Christian thought (Protestants, Mormons) still lead over pre-Columbian faith.

When Spain colonized Mexico they didn't white-wash it by killing all the brown people and moving all the white people in as England and France did. They kept the natives. The only white appointments were the viceroys. But in the century or more since Mexico declared independence from Spain they've most likely balanced out its own government.

Post-independence Mexico managed to successfully create a pretty concept of common identity as ""Mexican"" between ""Whites"" (an honest minority) and everyone else. So no, they got no reason to rebel for native identity when for the last two hundred years they've managed to blur, smoothen, or remove much of it.</div>"

...wait, you think they would be fighting on their own? The whole purpose of the North American tribes coming together is to <span class=""bb-i"">fight</span> together. The American tribes would fight north alongside the Canadian aborigines, and vice versa.

Not only that, but I think I should once again reiterate the strength of guerrilla warfare. Strike quickly and efficiently, then dick back into the shadows before your adversaries can react; attack in such a manner as to give off an air of omnipresence; deny the enemy his resources; hide and hold out for as long as necessary, until your foe gives up—even if that takes years. Do these things, and you will have a great chance at victory.

As with the incident of Wounded Knee in 1978 the conflict would ultimately come down to the Marshals service after some quick legislation is passed permitting them to utilize the resources necessary to clamp down on the radicals. But the last great ditch era of Native Uprising ended a century ago. The memories of Geronimo and the last great defenders of the old way are done. The White Man won, and they know exactly where they all are.

Beyond that, this is the perpetuation of the joke that the US needs to be torn apart. This joke died long ago. And it won't be permitted again.

A radical movement such as that would only really dawn in instances of severe civil rights abuses or the fervor of large-scale civil rights movement inspiring hard-line radicals to rise up. But they wouldn't be large enough still to be effective at anything.</div>"

Guerrilla warfare isn't this magical thing that when applied is guaranteed to work. If it were, it'd be a conventional strategy. Guerrilla warfare is a thing borne of desperation, or helplessness. When people have no other way to fight and need to resort to hit-and-run tactics to combat overwhelming opposition. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It is not an especially effective strategy that works every time, or even most times. If it were such a strategy, no-one would fight any other way. It's also a strategy that is reliant on things like the environment to succeed. Look at where guerrilla fighter groups are most successful: Colombia, Africa, Vietnam, Iraq. All of these are places where the environment is in favor of guerrilla fighters because it allows them to hide well, and where the lack of infrastructure works against professional armies.

Guerrilla warfare isn't this magical thing that when applied is guaranteed to work. If it were, it'd be a conventional strategy. Guerrilla warfare is a thing borne of desperation, or helplessness. When people have no other way to fight and need to resort to hit-and-run tactics to combat overwhelming opposition. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It is not an especially effective strategy that works every time, or even most times. If it were such a strategy, no-one would fight any other way. It's also a strategy that is reliant on things like landscape to succeed. Look at where guerrilla fighter groups are most successful: Colombia, Africa, Vietnam, Iraq. All of these are places where the environment is in favor of guerrilla fighters because it allows them to hide well, and where the lack of infrastructure works against professional armies.

But regardless of any of that, the point is we can't have any more rebellions in the US. It's had enough. They are a hindrance.

Not to mention the traditional lands are mostly all inhabited by the white man now, or border white settlements. If push comes to shove you'll see the Militias come in or even the American Legion who might bolster up the local communities and identify or encourage people to identify radicals.

And even if not you'll know who the enemy is. Guerilla warfare works in places like Vietnam and Afghanistan because the occupying force couldn't tell the difference between a civilian and a enemy. In this context they would be able to spot them out. The only places they end up is being corralled in the deep country where there is no one living and living as outlaws until they become so endemically demoralized from accomplishing nothing the fighters go home.

If they try anywhere else there's enough phones, radios, and guns to alert folks. It won't work, Revan. It won't ever get off the ground. Not from a demographic principle. Not from a strategic principle.</div>"

International has some European ""states"" that it recognizes. However it can't do much for them currently. It's trying to get to that point, so to speak.

And playing as an individual character while also a nation depends. If you're a nation you can play as any individual in the nation. But for someone outside of it, it's ethnic group, and its politics is a sort of a undetermined thing. We done it once to try and patch holes in America.

They might involve a fun idea to think up, but when it comes to actually writing story arcs you end up stuck. The nations you'd most likely want to play in are being ran by RPers already, who's ideas you'd have to follow. And the game itself involves large, sweeping events that an individual would, at best, get to be a commentator on.

I did RP an individual in America a long time ago as a way to fix some of the problems that continent had, and it seems to have worked. America has at least been viable ever since then. But I did this for mechanical reasons, with the specific goal to repair some confusion rather than do anything particularly awesome, and I did this while retaining the ability to RP Ethiopia. Most of those Dixon America posts were Meetings, after all.

The best course of action is to pick a relatively small state that isn't very involved and see what you can do with it. This is the success story that Spain, Ethiopia, Armenia, and Persia all seemed to have followed. Big nations tend to overwhelm, and nations that are already involved tend to cut down on creative control. In this way, Mexico isn't a bad choice.</div>"

That's why I picked them :)

<span class=""bb-i""><span class=""bb-b"">Nation:</span> La República de México
<span class=""bb-b"">Leader:</span> Presidente-electo Hernando Estevez
<span class=""bb-b"">History:</span> The country of Mexico gained it's independence after being established as a Spanish colony under the name ""New Spain"" in 1820, when Spanish general Agustin de Iturbide aided Mexican revolutionaries against the colonial masters of the region. Almost immediately after achieving independence, de Iturbide proclaimed himself emperor of all Mexico--until three years later, when he was ousted. Thus a representative government was established in Central America. Soon after, the Mexican government abolished slavery within their borders in 1829.

In 1833, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was made President after defeating the leader of a coup d'etat. This, however, only resulted in him consolidating power to form a much more centralized government. After he installed a new constitution, many rebellions began to appear across the country, one of which was the Republic of Texas. After losing the Texan Independence war, Santa Anna returned back to Mexico City, only to find that a new government had established itself and ousted him.

Santa Anna then regained power after battling a French invasion force, then became President once more. He was then thrown out again when economic turmoil struck the country, and then oversaw the US-Mexican war, as the United States had begun to annex Texas into their own borders. The war ended with Texas remaining in the US (up until the American Civil war), Mexico losing half of it's territory, and Santa Anna losing his presidency again. He later regained the position briefly in 1853, then lost it in 1855 as his last remaining supporters dropped any and all support for the corrupt autocrat.

Mexico then returned to a federal republic under President Benito Juarez, who initiated several liberal reforms. However, the conservatives in the government refused to recognize them, and thus the so-called Reform war began, until finally Juarez and the liberals prevailed as the victors of the conflict.

The conservatives were not finished, however; the French intervention in 1864 saw the installment of a monarch, Archduke Ferdinand Maximillian of Austria, as the head of a new imperial ally. This did not last long, however, and in 1867, he was overthrown and executed. Yet again, the country returned to representationalism as a republic, and thus President Porfirio Diaz was elected. He continued to become elected for five consecutive times, until the events of 1910 struck.

Diaz held another election, running for a sixth term despite his very old age. He imprisoned a few opponents and declared that he had unanimously won the race. This was obviously not true, as a large portion of the vote had gone to jailed candidate Francisco I. Madero. Riots began to crop up across the nation, and Madero escaped prison to form an army to take down Diaz's regime. A swift war was waged between Madero's revolutionaries and Diaz's old generals, until finally Diaz resigned in 1911 and exiled himself to France where he later died.

This peace did not last, however, as Madero was assassinated two years later in a coup d'etat. The new government refused to take entry in the Great War, recognizing both the danger of pulling in the United States (which fortunately did not enter the nightmarish conflict either) and the horrors the war had already seen.

In 1926, the country was engulfed in a religious war known as the Cristero war over the mistreatment of Catholics by the secular government. It ended in 1929 when American ambassador to Mexico Dwight Morrow arranged a peace between the Cristeros and the Mexican government. However, local authorities continued to find ways to enforce the oppression of Catholics in some way or another.

Over the next four decades, Mexico gained some serious economic growth, unhindered by any economic depressions and only the occasional recession. By 1970, it was one of the biggest economies in North America, and perhaps the biggest in central america. During this time, they briefly launched an invasion of the RNF, which collapsed later that year.

In the following years, the rise of the Nuevo Partido Comunista de Mexico began to challenge the sole governing party, the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, which would finally begin to decline in the face of growing communist desires. Eventually, the government made a compromise in order to keep their domination of congress: they would begin to implement socialist reforms. A planned economy would be set up, and certain institutions and firms would be nationalized. This was enough to keep them in control of the government...but for how long is unknown.</span>

And there you have it! My sheet for Mexico.</div>"

Alright, I can wait. I pretty much just mostly jotted down irl Mexican history for the first half, then put down a few bits here and there from the Mexico page on the wiki. My guess was that most of it was established history that shouldn't need to be re-written, save for some non-canon bits, such as the USSA being inspiration for the <span class=""bb-i"">Nuevo Partido Comunista de Mexico</span>. Firstly, I left Mexico out of the Great War because they did so irl, and most of the New World in PoW already remained neutral, including the US. As for the years after, I pretty much assumed that Mexico's economy was on the rise, as there was no Great Depression, though it's status among the other North American economies can be changed. The other thing I wasn't too sure about was the invasion of the RNF by Mexico. That, however, was minor enough to where it can easily be changed if made non-canon.

You guys just go ahead and figure out the lore for NA.</div>"

Or you can just ask me, since I don't think Mihn was really involved.

Or rather, everyone who was is gone now. Sorta. I could get the Ukraine guy back in, he - Tex - has been thinking about it. But hasn't done anything beyond that.

But the general rundown is that I'm pretty sure it was brief. Or nothing special happened, just a lot of generic shooting stuff. As a player move the merger of Poland and Ukraine was sort of orchestrated as a move to keep one's nation out of the other people's hands by telling the Polish player he can have Ukraine as he left. The war was thrown together to validate it.

It's so old and so under-written the details shouldn't matter. You can cobble them together on your own.

No, political union would still have occurred. That's cannon. What's up in the air is the details of the war. How long it lasted, how deep Hungary got before Poland came in, and more importantly: why it happened.

I think a few assumptions could be made about the status of Ukraine post-Empire. With the collapse of the Imperial regime in Moscow, Ukraine lost the resources needed to really defend itself. The fall of the Empire made them independent, but it didn't give them a foundation and it was sudden. Five years on and things aren't all that great for them with no foreign aid helping. So invasion happens and they get their ass whipped.

At some point the situation gets so threatening Poland steps in to keep a regional balance of power. Being fresh they managed to reverse the Hungarian invasion, and supply the beaten Ukrainian militia-army enough they can do more. Together they throw Hungary out concessions are made, likely enforced by Poland.

Presumably Poland having saved them from the dirty imperialist Hungarians would probably make union popular, and it happens in the events following the invasion.

In all I imagine it could play out across a year or year and a half maybe with a few significant urban engagements before the fates re-align.

Though probably not canonical anymore Ukraine briefly occupied the Moscow region of Russia but gave it up to the Republic in Yekaterinburg at some point. This could be framed in the context of before, during, or immediately after the war.</div>"

Firstly: The depression of the twenties would have still been a thing from America. American over-mass production coupled with the end of the Great War would have caused the world economy to pop like a bubble, more so than it did. And if the US in its current lore had wide-spread economic troubles than Mexico for sure could not have weathered the economic storm with only a few recessions along the way. They would have suffered in the post-war years with everyone, trying to stay afloat in a market flooded with resources and materials intended for use in Europe and the battle front. But with no more war all those raw materials and other supplies joined an over abundance of everything to further crash the world's banks.

So no, you can't have weathered economic depressions.

Mexico can still be a decent economy, but not the regional best when dealing with America.

This carries to second point sort of, where Mexico then shouldn't be strong enough to deal with Florida. But it wasn't really Florida, it was the deep south in general. Byrd made the point to say as well that Mexico involving itself in US affairs would be an invitation for the US to later involve itself in Mexican affairs more seriously. It's not really a thing nations do. Not to mention they wouldn't really be a big enough power to make anything out of it. So none of that.

Of minor note too was the Catholic uprising. Byrd's fine with the American involvement as it is. Though he also added that they probably would have carried out minor expeditions into Mexico <a href=""https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Villa_Expedition"">like they did when chasing down Pancho Villa</a>. But it wouldn't have been serious.

And as a reminder: Mexico joined the Third International alongside the US. Although the US got kicked out for annexing the Cascades territory Mexico remains. Just a something.

Yeah, yeah.

And I'd just like to add that Mexico's population would probably be around 125 million, if immigration due to Europe being screwed up and emigration from Mexico with it being a socialist state about canceled out. This would be in comparison to America's ~200 million and Brazil's 160 million, so Brazil and America would have roughly comparable economies (American probably slightly ahead) given that America suffered some serious destruction and Mexico could be close-ish behind but hardly first-rate, purely in size of economy. It would probably be fairly close in development to Brazil but still naturally a ways behind America.</div>"

Nation: Republic of Slovene-Croatia

Leader: Andrej Dvornik ( 7th President of Slovene-Croatia )

History: 
While they were occupied by Austria-Hungary for the most of the nineteenth century, the Northern Balkan areas, which mostly had a majority of Croats and Slovenes, Slovenia and Croatia had been much less involved or interested with the activities of Slavic terrorist groups, one of them being the Serbian Black Hand. The Croats and Slovenes already had their own national movement before the turn of the century, and while they were divided between the conservative Old Slovenes / Croats and the more progressive Young Slovenes / Croats, the area as a whole had establish several reforms, such as standardization literary languages and modernized primary education. 

Their dislike against the Serbians increased as the Great War began, and despite the Serbian radicals talk over unification of the Balkan Slavs, the Croats and Slovenes refused. The Balkan countries were unfortunately affected by the Great War, with battles continuously occurring in their country, often causing the destruction of many cities and loss of lives as some were conscripted by their dominating country. Later, in the midst of the Great War in 1922, it seemed that the Slovenes and Croats, like several other ethnic groups part of the former Austria-Hungary Empire, was caught in confusion and uncertainty as Hungary split from Austria and the Austria-Hungary Empire was dissolved. 

For a few years after the war, Slovenia and Croatia remained as part of the Austria, despite Slovenia and Croatia's hopes of independence after the Great War. Their pleas were refused, and while Slovenia and Croatia were seen as an autonomous region, the sudden executions of the Serbian Royal Family caused Austria suppress Slovenia and Croatia with military force in fears of a similar uprising. Austria had its own problems, however, as after the Great War, Austria was in ruins, with her economy collapsing from war debts. Currency rapidly decreased in value, making even basic goods difficult to purchase. 

Slovene and Croat nationalist took advantage of this opportunity and furthered their protests, occupying key governmental buildings and demanding independence. While Austria was not willing to give up their land, they also did not want to cause international outrage, especially near increasingly militaristic neighbors. Rather hastily, the two states were given independence in 1926 by the Brijuni Agreements.

Slovenia's first president, Franc Lavric was elected a few months after the agreements; he was 46 at his inauguration. Lavric wanted the economically-damaged Slovenia into a modern republic, pushing for women's rights, a shift form agriculture to commerce and industry, and improvements on the rail networks. While some of his radical reforms were not taken lightly from more conservative Slovenes, it had appeal to the population who was still having difficulties recovering. Lavric continued to remain on the presidency until the Slovene-Croat reunification. 

Croatia had Ivan Kovacic. They shared a border with the less stable Bosnia, and had an increasingly militaristic Serbia just past that. There were fears of Serbian invasion; Kovacic wanted to keep Bosnia as a buffer zone, and advised by Rear Admiral Vukovic, increased his navy and army size in reaction to the ""Serbian Scare"". The scare, however, set racial equality movements backward, as Croatian-Serbs were discriminated against and forced down to a second-class citizen level. Riots were frequent. In 1935, however, Kovacic was revealed to be involved with weapon deals with certain businesses, which plummeted his popularity. Kovacic shortly resigned and was replaced by Ivo Rogoz, who was more moderate and focused on national affairs. Kovacic warned of the potential tension between Croatia and Serbia before he left office (he died in 1951). 

Serbia's invasion proved Kovacic's fears correct as they launched attacks against Albania and Macedonia. The wars shocked both Slovenia and Croatia; in 1946, they met together in Trieste for a conference toward the matter. After weeks of debates, Slovenia and Croatia finally agreed to become a ""dual republic""; while one president would run Slovene-Croatia, Slovenia and Croatia were two separate administrative divisions and could run their own governments at a smaller level.

Lavric was chosen to run Slovene-Croatia as its first president up to 1948, as the Slovene-Croatian Democratic Party (SHDS) ;he was followed by Leon Rusjan. Rusjan furthered Lavric's goals; he made some modifications to the Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian written languages to make it possible for both Slovenes and Croats to read. He also attempted to increase literacy rates by making nine-year primary / secondary school compulsory. Outside of educational reforms, he also established a minimum wage. 

In 1971, Miroslav Gazi, the fifth president of Slovene-Croatia, did a shocking action – in response to the newly appointed Dragan leading Serbia and persecuting of leftist and far leftist, Gazi decided to allow those Serbian party members to enter Slovene-Croatia. Gazi, however, ended up worsening the Slovene-Croatian and Serbian relations even further. This was further intensified by Gazi's refusal to even meet the dictator. Ultimately, Gazi's actions were met in disapproval, and he lost reelection in 1972. For the first time in history, the ""SHDS dynasty"" ended as power transferred to the center-right Democratic Union. 

1980 was another switch of power to Dvornik. As the government switched back to the SHDS's, Slovenes and Croatians alike wondered what would happen to the future of their nation as tensions arise.</div>"

Alright, all of this is fair and good.

On the matter of the Great Depression, I assumed it never happened not because I didn't see any mention of it, but because I didn't see any major effects <span class=""bb-i"">surrounding</span> it. I did not see any major wars, revolutions, or extreme changes that one would expect to result from economic hardship, such as the rise of fascism in Europe after the Great Depression irl. There was quite a lot of mention of these changes in post-war economies like Britain and France, but that was a result of the huge war that had struck the nations, not the depressed trough out of recurring booms and recessions.

That's not to say that I don't think there should be any culling of the Great Depression. Like you said, it was so long ago that it doesn't seem to matter anymore, other than the purpose of lore.

For Mexico's economy in general, I suggested that it was only <span class=""bb-i"">one</span> of the best in comparison with most others in North America. That's not to say that it is <span class=""bb-i"">the</span> best, as there's still the US and Canada ahead of it by a longshot--but perhaps I should have clarified that. Another thing I should mention is the fact that after Canada's invasions and the split of Florida from the Union, both Canada's and the US's economies should have been focused on war production, making Mexico probably a bigger producer of regular goods and services in the region, though again not necessarily moreso than the other two.

Concerning the invasion of Florida, cool. I didn't event think it was that big of an involvement to make mention originally, but then I decided on bringing it up because it was on the wiki. Then again, there's a <span class=""bb-i"">lot</span> of shit in there that needs to be rewritten at some point.

Well the thing is you could argue that there was a lot of change across the world as an effect of the Depression. In the lore summaries the US suffered economic insecurity and political swings well into the fifties. Likewise the UK collapsed politically with people over throwing the monarchy, this lending in to a lot of far-right folks moving into Canada and turning them into a sort of quasi-fascist regime. And Serbia is fascist as well and Germany flipped from a Republic post-war and is again a monarchy because the Republic was too weak.

The reason why fascism hasn't become a thing is that there wasn't any big concentrated failure on anyone like Germany in the RL inter-war years that gave the Nazi party any reason to come around. And Italy was swept over by the Ottomans before Fascists could really come to anything.</div>"

Let me resubmit this sheet (edits are in bold):

<span class=""bb-i""><span class=""bb-b"">Nation:</span> La República de México
<span class=""bb-b"">Leader:</span> Presidente-electo Hernando Estevez
<span class=""bb-b"">History:</span> The country of Mexico gained it's independence after being established as a Spanish colony under the name ""New Spain"" in 1820, when Spanish general Agustin de Iturbide aided Mexican revolutionaries against the colonial masters of the region. Almost immediately after achieving independence, de Iturbide proclaimed himself emperor of all Mexico--until three years later, when he was ousted. Thus a representative government was established in Central America. Soon after, the Mexican government abolished slavery within their borders in 1829. 

In 1833, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was made President after defeating the leader of a coup d'etat. This, however, only resulted in him consolidating power to form a much more centralized government. After he installed a new constitution, many rebellions began to appear across the country, one of which was the Republic of Texas. After losing the Texan Independence war, Santa Anna returned back to Mexico City, only to find that a new government had established itself and ousted him. 

Santa Anna then regained power after battling a French invasion force, then became President once more. He was then thrown out again when economic turmoil struck the country, and then oversaw the US-Mexican war, as the United States had begun to annex Texas into their own borders. The war ended with Texas remaining in the US (up until the American Civil war), Mexico losing half of it's territory, and Santa Anna losing his presidency again. He later regained the position briefly in 1853, then lost it in 1855 as his last remaining supporters dropped any and all support for the corrupt autocrat. 

Mexico then returned to a federal republic under President Benito Juarez, who initiated several liberal reforms. However, the conservatives in the government refused to recognize them, and thus the so-called Reform war began, until finally Juarez and the liberals prevailed as the victors of the conflict.  The conservatives were not finished, however; the French intervention in 1864 saw the installment of a monarch, Archduke Ferdinand Maximillian of Austria, as the head of a new imperial ally. This did not last long, however, and in 1867, he was overthrown and executed. Yet again, the country returned to representationalism as a republic, and thus President Porfirio Diaz was elected. He continued to become elected for five consecutive times, until the events of 1910 struck. 

Diaz held another election, running for a sixth term despite his very old age. He imprisoned a few opponents and declared that he had unanimously won the race. This was obviously not true, as a large portion of the vote had gone to jailed candidate Francisco I. Madero. Riots began to crop up across the nation, and Madero escaped prison to form an army to take down Diaz's regime. A swift war was waged between Madero's revolutionaries and Diaz's old generals, until finally Diaz resigned in 1911 and exiled himself to France where he later died. 

This peace did not last, however, as Madero was assassinated two years later in a coup d'etat. The new government refused to take entry in the Great War, recognizing both the danger of pulling in the United States (which fortunately did not enter the nightmarish conflict either) and the horrors the war had already seen.  In 1926, the country was engulfed in a religious war known as the Cristero war over the mistreatment of Catholics by the secular government. It ended in 1929 when American ambassador to Mexico Dwight Morrow arranged a peace between the Cristeros and the Mexican government. However, local authorities continued to find ways to enforce the oppression of Catholics in some way or another. 

Over the next four decades, Mexico gained some economic growth, <span class=""bb-b"">though it did face quite a bit of hardship in the deep economic depression that struck after the Great War.</span> By 1970, it was one of the biggest economies in North America, <span class=""bb-b"">save for Canada and the US.</span> <span class=""bb-b"">[Removed section referencing the RNF.]</span>

In the following years, the rise of the Nuevo Partido Comunista de Mexico began to challenge the sole governing party, the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, which would finally begin to decline in the face of growing communist desires. Eventually, the government made a compromise in order to keep their domination of congress: they would begin to implement socialist reforms. A planned economy would be set up, and certain institutions and firms would be nationalized. <span class=""bb-b"">Not only that, but they chose to join the Third International, though it was a rather controversial move.</span> This was enough to keep them in control of the government...but for how long is unknown.</span></div>"

Don't worry, I've got Serbia next on the list to brainstorm about. But this also brings up a very important note: I need to keep up with all the in-game countries that have players. I'd rather not leave anybody out.

Another important thing to remember is that I need to figure out a unique UA for each one, plus add some UUs/UBs. In the end I may just give some of the civs UUs that already exist, such as Diplomatic Marriage for Brazil (for their SAC involvement).

I was thinking of giving them a combat bonus against city-states. Considering there are a lot of unowned Balkan nations surrounding Serbia (save for Romania), this would make for a very good UA.

Kinda-sorta. At this point there's so much that's gone on in active and pre-lore that it's not possible to really make something from the ground up. It can't be totally fantastical and it has to be rooted in something. And the point of time-line divergence here is at 1914, the further you get from that though the more something can be deviant.

And we had a Philippines. But the player for that got tired of the slow pace of the RP. The country too does come with some pretty heft lore already written, so it's not nearly as flexible as you'd hope.</div>"

<span class=""bb-s"">No, I don't believe it is.</span>

The two lore summary posts below the OP has more information that the NPC factsheet. Basically, it has everything we decided was absolute canon as of our move to this forum. Of course, more things have been added since, but for the most part it will give you the most concise, detailed information.

And be wary of the wiki. The wiki isn't completely updated, so some of that stuff is way crazy outdated.

EDIT: Nope, it definetly is. The map doesn't properly represent the truth, which is my fault since I drew the map. Pakistan's history is this

<span class=""bb-i"">Pakistan, as such,does not exist. Part of India until 1971, it has since the collapse of central authority been divided into petty states by warlords, religious leaders and adventurers. Only in October 1976, following the takeover of Bengal by the UFI, was order imposed once again upon the region by the persian military, who occupied the Indus river valley preventively, as UFI forces were nearing on Ahmedabad, in nearby Gujarat. Since the armistice in late 1977, it has been reintegrated into a federal Indian state, with wide autonomy for its constitutive regions, Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkwa.""</span></div>"

Leader: Prime Minister Shresthasim Gahdavi

History: British colonization of India began in 1612, with the newly founded East India Trading Company. Two and a half centuries later, Great Britain controlled practically every aspect of present-day India. The Crown lorded over India for another hundred years, though the Great War, before the colony gained its independence in the mid 20th century.

When the shoddily-built government of post-imperial India collapsed in 1971, the political vacuum was readily filled by several Indian micro nations - Gujarat, Jaipur, Pakistan, Kashmir, Maharashtra, Bengaluru, and Sri Lanka. A six-year-long civil war was fought, eventually culminating in a standoff between two world powers - China and Persia. China backed the United Front for India, a socialist movement that had gained great momentum across the northern half of India. Persia supported the Punarjanam, a liberal movement that advocated freedom across the southern half of India. To avoid full-scale conflict between Chinese and Persian forces, both parties met at a summit in 1977 and signed an Armistice that established a new Indian Federation neutral both China and Persia.

In January 1978 the new Federation elected it's first parliament and parliament elected their prime minister: Shresthasim Gahdavi. Now, the new prime minister faced a hefty task - an infrastructure in tatters and a state in transition from post-imperial capitalism to a Chinese-inspired socialist model. An ambitious man, Gahdavi paased a massive public works project through parliament in his first year, including the nationalization of railroads, telephone utilities, and radio towers; and the improvement of India's infrastructure. And while the first half of the proposal is already underway, the second half has come to a standstill.</div>"

All Third International Countries are either red, pink or salmon. (Somehow I missed the Finnish Communes, oops)
Player countries are all colored differently (with the exception of Mexico, the lone Third International player country)
Also, I left Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Switzerland colored. Such mistakes. In France's case it's helpful because colonies, but otherwise no.

Regarding Africa, you forgot the parts of Libya that belong to Ethiopia. Also, the border with Nigeria is a little off (the three Spanish provinces that jut out from the rest should be Ethiopian). Socotra and Pemba are also Ethiopian... but that is hard to see on the map so I am not too worried about it.

The military is one of those things you should probably gage with your career. I know quite a few people who have joined, and I've noticed they tend to have the same problems that people who student loan'ed their way through a humanities degree: They don't have experience relevant to anything in the civilian workforce. My first job was sitting around a computer lab in a section 8 housing complex making sure people didn't steal anything or download porn. One of the things they decided to do was set up a station for job searching, which consisted of an ancient-as-fuck computer that linked directly to the state unemployment office's website, and a bunch of How-to booklets. The booklets were for people who would have additional difficulties. Shit like ""How to get a Job if you never have had one."" and ""How to get a job if you just got out of prison."" Another one was ""How to get a job if you just got out of the military.""

The biggest perk, as far as I can tell, is assloads of money for school. It is a good option for people who need that. When my cousin found out that military experience had done absolutely jack shit to further her field, she managed to use the assloads of money to get into a top school. That's the biggest perk.

But the modern employer isn't very sentimental. They like the type of experience specific to what the job is. I have heard cops and technicians tend to come out of the military pretty well, but I don't think I've known anybody who has done that. 

Right now, your best best is to either luck into the Entertainment industry or get a cushy Government job. Everything else... everything else is falling apart.</div>"

What are the defined borders of Italy and Slovene-Croatia? The Treaty of Rapallo may or may not have existed, so it's possible for Trieste to end up on Slovenian soil or Bovec to end up on Italian soil.

What are the defined borders of Italy and Slovene-Croatia? The Treaty of Rapallo may or may not have existed, so it's possible for Trieste to end up on Slovenian soil or Bovec to end up on Italian soil. 

Or maybe Trieste is a free territory.

To be honest, I have no fucking clue. Italy should have all of WW1 gained lands, but due to Batista and Civil War, the land was lost either to rebellions or me being unable to think of actual reasons Italy would have the strength to hold onto it. So Italy would still have legitimate claims over a fair bit of the Adriatic coastline, but doesn't feel like actually going after it. So, the borders could ICly be up for debate between the governments.

So yeah.</div>"

This.  You can figure out the numbers for your nation all you want, but since it's a character-centric RP, those numbers won't really matter IC. I have no idea what the numbers are for Britain's military, because I have no reason to ever know them.

I'm just going to add that NZ probably cannot sustain that number. Having that many people in the military means you have to be able to pay them and arm them, and that can be expensive. New Zealand also will not realistically have the power projection to be able to send that many people over seas, which means a sizable army is pointless.</div>"

<span class=""bb-b"">History</span>

When the Commonwealth fell, New Zealand fell in the dark. Forgotten and alone in the big wide world, the country was pretty much left on it's own devices. Their neighbours across the ditch also seemed a bit preoccupied with their own problems to deal with their little brother. New Zealand was lonely, shoved to their own little corner in the world. 

After a few years in their corner, people going on with their own lives and trying to find ways to completely forget what was happening in the outside world, something change. A spark happened. There was a sudden click, and people's look and feel on things took on massive renovations. New Zealand was alone, and people are going to use that to their advantage.

At the year 1941, normal everyday civilians started to argue the status of their country. Was New Zealand really a British colony anymore? The riots started, people screaming for an identity. An identity not behind a foreign culture. They wanted change. They wanted an individual culture that could develop into something more. Not to hide behind the non existent Union Jack, something that most didn't feel was appropriate anymore.

With riots, come violence. They started peacefully, people holding signs and protesting in the streets. The violence came at the winter of 1942. The protesters were in Auckland, shouting at the disgrace of a government and how they should ""hold their own"". Two police officers, both juniors, were patrolling and stumbled over the protests. One of them, barely 19, stepped in front of the crowd and told them all to stop. It was 2 degrees outside, hardly the weather for this kind of thing.

The memories were blurry and the storm brewed. Something happened that resulted in the death of 20 people. 2 of them the officers. This caused a roar in the population. The civilians blamed the government and the government blamed the civilians. Violence spread throughout the nation. People who believed in the government and people who believed in the protesters took it out in the streets, punches thrown and beer bottle smashed. 

The cities were utter brawls. These were the first few weeks. And then the guns came into play. Firefights, brawls, gunfire and death were the norm in the cities. The death count rose. The idiot who thought of bringing guns into the fight was certainly regretting it now. The loyalists seemed to break down, turning into a small hardcore army of guerrillas. When there was a handful of people left, the so called Civil War ended. 

Peace returned to New Zealand, though scarred and tense.

Prime Minister David Randen - A former soldier in the Colony Civil War, he pursued political mayhem after seeing the horrors of death and destruction involved with war. He was sympathised by many for all New Zealanders were affected, one way or another. But it wasn't this that made him the leader of modern Aotearoa. His charm, skills and political wit drove him through the ranks, and the fact that he was actually likeable was a big factor. David in renown for his genius and know how, about the political world and beyond. The outlook for next year's polls look good.

Minister of Defence Fetuao Lotomau  - New Zealand born Samoan and a childhood friend of David Randen, this beast of a rugby player and politician is the most interesting Minister in the government. His down to earth nature and ""kick-back"" demeanour has appealed to many kiwi's and is one of the few politicians most New Zealanders actually respect. He was with David Randen and was his Captain for a time before David switched to the Armoured Infantry.

[i]Military[i]

First Sergeant Benjamin Tark - Brave, bold, and fully Irish, this First Sergeant is respected and won his men over.

Private First Class Tane Kamana - Fast mouthed and called a bit ""stupid"" by his superiors, this native loves imitating 1920's gangsters. Don't ask.</div>"

I've finalized a list of playable civs that will be added to the game.

They are as follows, with their UA names next to them (if available; those that are marked N/A mean I simply have not come up with them yet, don't worry):

China - <span class=""bb-i"">Third International (Hellenic League)</span>
Spain - <span class=""bb-i"">Anticomunista</span>

United States - <span class=""bb-i"">N/A</span>

Great Britain - <span class=""bb-i"">Imperial Reclamation</span>
France - <span class=""bb-i"">N/A</span>

Persia - <span class=""bb-i"">Land of the Shah</span>
Prussia - <span class=""bb-i"">Wilhelm's Legacy (Iklwa + Extra Bitches)</span>

I've also decided that, for the time being, I will simply modify existing civs instead of making new ones entirely. This means that, say, China will remain China with it's own UU/UB and colours; however, it will have a new UA (Third International) and leader (Hou). The same will also apply to non-existing countries like Canada, which will replace Austria.

As for my first post as Mexico: I would like to apologize for it not being out yet. Schoolwork, theatrical performances, and illness aside, my procrastination has been killing my motivation to write.

Nation:
 The Republic of Aotearoa (aka The Republic of New Zealand)

<img src=""http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/290/9/2/alt__new_zealand_flag_by_ay_deezy-d30xsce.png""/>
<span class=""bb-b"">History</span>

When the Commonwealth fell, New Zealand fell in the dark. Forgotten and alone in the big wide world, the country was pretty much left on it's own devices. Their neighbours across the ditch also seemed a bit preoccupied with their own problems to deal with their little brother. New Zealand was lonely, shoved to their own little corner in the world. 

After a few years in their corner, people going on with their own lives and trying to find ways to completely forget what was happening in the outside world, something change. A spark happened. There was a sudden click, and people's look and feel on things took on massive renovations. New Zealand was alone, and people are going to use that to their advantage.

At the year 1951, normal everyday civilians started to argue the status of their country. Was New Zealand really a British colony anymore? The riots started, people screaming for an identity. An identity not behind a foreign culture. They wanted change. They wanted an individual culture that could develop into something more. Not to hide behind the non existent Union Jack, something that most didn't feel was appropriate anymore.

With riots, come violence. They started peacefully, people holding signs and protesting in the streets. The violence came at the winter of 1952. The protesters were in Auckland, shouting at the disgrace of a government and how they should ""hold their own"". Two police officers, both juniors, were patrolling and stumbled over the protests. One of them, barely 19, stepped in front of the crowd and told them all to stop. It was 2 degrees outside, hardly the weather for this kind of thing.

The memories were blurry and the storm brewed. Something happened that resulted in the death of 20 people. 2 of them the officers. This caused a roar in the population. The civilians blamed the government and the government blamed the civilians. Violence spread throughout the nation. People who believed in the government and people who believed in the protesters took it out in the streets, punches thrown and beer bottle smashed. 

The cities were utter brawls. These were the first few weeks. And then the guns came into play. Firefights, brawls, gunfire and death were the norm in the cities. The death count rose. The idiot who thought of bringing guns into the fight was certainly regretting it now. The loyalists seemed to break down, breaking into pieces and smaller armies. They hid into the large forests, waiting for another chance

Civil unrest was still apparent in New Zealand. The so called ""government"" was a few handful diehards that the people resented and didn't respect. New Zealand was basically lawless. The few untouched cities and towns were fending off the diehard guerrillas from the city borders while some like Auckland, the current capital, was struck hard and rebuilding.

Rebuilding was slow but after 5 strained years, the diehards retreated further and further into the forests until disappearing from the map. A new government was set up, same old system but with people with a different perspective. Former Prime Minister Jane Taumopea changed the national flag and essentially turned New Zealand into a republic over night. The Land of the Long White Cloud had an identity.

Taumopea had a lot to work with. She started by bolstering the Army, to prepare for any hostile actions against Aotearoa. The previous New Zealand had a pitiful army. A minuscule 5,000. She boosted that up by sneaking in money into the Minister of Defence's pocket. She also had to worry about outside influence. Maui Squadron were sent into the world beyond and the reports weren't good. The once distant idea of communism was edging closer and closer. 

To prevent this, political disaster as Jane called it, to reach Aotearoa, Jane set up a plan. She set propaganda documentaries, showing the undemocratic communist states in a bad light. Power to the government and only for the government. This scared the populace, the late Civil War showed them that full governmental power always leads to disaster. 

Taumopea also set safety precautions if Britain wanted to take back what was ""rightly theirs"". She ordered Fortress Camps to be built in the major cities and a military defence force spread out through the towns. She ordered Project Get Out and Project Aqua to begin. Two of the most secret projects in New Zealand governmental history. She was voted out the following year.

Her successor was informed of what Jane has done in the years she was Prime Minister. David decided to keep Project Aqua but trashed the money vacuum and inhuman Project Get Out. Kiwi civilians just continued with their lives, again almost ignoring the outside. They don't know that the boat heading to Britain was going to change kiwi lives.

Prime Minister David Randen - A former soldier in the Colony Civil War, he pursued political mayhem after seeing the horrors of death and destruction involved with war. He was sympathised by many for all New Zealanders were affected, one way or another. But it wasn't this that made him the leader of modern Aotearoa. His charm, skills and political wit drove him through the ranks, and the fact that he was actually likeable was a big factor. David in renown for his genius and know how, about the political world and beyond. The outlook for next year's polls look good.

Minister of Defence Fetuao Lotomau  - New Zealand born Samoan and a childhood friend of David Randen, this beast of a rugby player and politician is the most interesting Minister in the government. His down to earth nature and ""kick-back"" demeanour has appealed to many kiwi's and is one of the few politicians most New Zealanders actually respect. He was with David Randen and was his Captain for a time before David switched to the Armoured Infantry.

Diplomat Engelbart Kappa - Diplomat for Aotearoa. Thats all for now. Wait for the introduction.

<span class=""bb-i"">Military</span>

First Sergeant Benjamin Tark - Brave, bold, and fully Irish, this First Sergeant is respected and won his men over.

Private First Class Tane Kamana - Fast mouthed and called a bit ""stupid"" by his superiors, this native loves imitating 1920's gangsters. Don't ask.</div>"

I've also decided that, for the time being, I will simply modify existing civs instead of making new ones entirely. This means that, say, China will remain China with it's own UU/UB and colours; however, it will have a new UA (Third International) and leader (Hou). The same will also apply to non-existing countries like Canada, which will replace Austria.

As for my first post as Mexico: I would like to apologize for it not being out yet. Schoolwork, theatrical performances, and illness aside, my procrastination has been killing my motivation to write.

Assuming we are still talking about Civ, there are two ways you can go.

For Poland...

<blockquote class=""bb-quote"">Declared its independence in 1922 amidst the Great War. Later, it opens up ports and becomes a significant trading power. Poland took advantage of uprisings in Czech Republic in 1970, and the Austrian territory was quickly absorbed. Austria, unable to quell the uprising and confront Poland, lost the territory without resistance. Poland became the Slavic Union shortly after. In 1975, Poland intervened in a Hungarian invasion of Ukraine, managing to repel the Hungarian forces. Ukraine joined the Slavic Union in exchange for protection after the war.

In 1976, Poland deployed forces into Moscow to quell the violence there. They also provided arms to Armenia during their rebellion against the Ottoman Empire.</blockquote></div>"

I had a warning once but I contested it and everything worked out. And it had nothing to do with Precipice besides.

We've had hard times in the past, dealing with the Sporum and then the MCF, but I really think the people who run this place are reasonable and easy to work with. Judging by the talks we had with them back when we were worried that their rules against smut would get in the way, I have a lot of faith in their ability to judge these things and I don't think what we do is going to trigger their sensors. 

We should just keep on rolling and not worry about it. Just don't argue too much with OP's in other RP's and everything will be fine.

Nation: Poland/Slavic Union 
Leader: President Anatol Plawgo 
History: After having spent decades split apart by hostile foreign powers, during the Great War, Poland was finally able to break away and become independent in the ensuing chaos. Poland, during the great war, was infrequently fought over compared to the territory of the nations that controlled it. While the nations that formerly controlled it (particularly Austria-Hungary, Prussia, and the Russian Empire) were largely crippled, struggling to keep themselves afloat, Poland was able to declare its own independent without much fighting, and relatively few causalities. In addition, thanks to the increasingly weakened state the aforementioned nations were in, the newly-formed Polish government was also able to reclaim much of its territory, though Prussia maintained control of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The next move for Poland, in addition to rapid military buildup, was to stimulate the Polish economy using its recently reclaimed ports and national resources. Largely thanks to the speed with which the Polish government moved towards economic recovery, it was able to establish itself as a major European trading power, so much so that it quickly came to even economically rival many of the nations that formally controlled it.  


The economic growth that Poland experienced allowed it to fuel military buildup, and thusly secure its position. For the first time in decades, being both a major conduit of trade and a technologically advanced nation, Poland was able to exert its influence both domestically and internationally. The Polish government and its people clung to their newfound freedom, and took drastic steps to ensure that their position remained secure, especially beginning in the 1970s. Possessing of advanced rocketry, small-arms, and armor, the Polish government was able to incite and encourage the rebellions in the Austrian territory of the Czech Republic, and eventually absorbed the formerly Austrian territory. Austria, unable to exert sufficient force against Poland, lost the territory to the Republic of Poland, which soon afterwards adopted the name of ""the Slavic Union"", in an effort to appear more welcoming to the citizens of the Czech Republic.  


Only five years later, though, eastern Europe would be embroiled in conflict once again. Poland's relations with the Ukraine, at the time, were largely neutral, but still quite strained, largely due to Poland's evident attempts to increase its base of power. But a few weeks into the Hungarian invasion, the Polish military had mobilized, and, after an agreement had been reached with the Ukrainian government, crossed the border into the Ukraine. Despite initial successes, the Polish military encountered several obstacles along the way. In particular, Ukrainian civilians often attempted to slow the progress of Polish troops in rural areas, due to the fact that modern communication in the area was extremely sparse and many rural communities still held animosity towards Poland. In particular, though, the fact that large portions of the Polish military hadn't seen combat in several years resulted in heavy losses against the Hungarian forces in the first few battles of the war, though they were largely successful. 


Polish Forces, despite initially heavy losses, were able to force the Hungarian forces out of the Ukraine in short order, gaining both valuable military experience (which, for the most part, they lacked) and a third member of the Slavic Union in the process. 


One year later, in 1976, the Polish government deployed forces in Moscow as part of a peacekeeping operation. Violence in Moscow was reaching an incredible high, and came to threaten the stability of Eastern Europe as a whole -- especially the weakened, recently invaded Ukraine. Thankfully, Polish forces were able to quell the ongoing violence, and, soon afterwards, occupied Moscow and the surrounding area. President Anatol was quick to pull forces out of the region and replace them with mercenaries, a move that was widely opposed by his political enemies. 


Despite the generally unified state that Poland is in, there are several notable people with political stances largely contrary to that of the current government. This is especially true in the military and the arms industry, where a more aggressive Poland is encouraged. Perhaps most notably, Mateusz Wyrzyk, CEO of Poznan Engineering Works (Poznań Zakłady Inżynieryjne), has frequently pushed for a more aggressive and independent stance to be adopted by the Polish government. PZI was and remains one of the largest manufacturing corporations in Poland, in both military and civilian sectors. Despite what the name may imply, the company also oftentimes funds research into various technologies, and maintains strong relations with major Polish universities like the Warsaw University of Technology, Jagiellonian University, and the University of Wroclaw.

In real life, the US expanded its international market the most in the twenties after burying itself in European affairs after the Great War. This involved Americans who had served in the war taking a greater interest in the old world and American companies actively circumventing European business traditions. If the canon is that America never built its market Empire, we'd have to assume that American goods have mostly stayed in America and that the traditional style of local business being king still rules in Europe.

Long story short, only Byrd gets Coke. 

The main complicating factor is that Spanish capitalists behave somewhat like American capitalists in this RP, that they would be aware of American products even if they aren't mass distributed because the American market is such an obvious one. It's not impossible that there are Spanish equivalents. Maybe there is a Spanish soda industry? I would suspect it would look kinda like the Mexican soda industry, which is to say that most drinks would be fruit-based. If you ever go to a grocery store in the US in an area where you have some Mexicans, you can get a can of Mexican soda pretty cheap and it has some unique flavors like Pear and Guava that are pretty interesting. Not sure what Spaniards would use.

Europe might have Soda fountains, but the rest of the world... I don't see it becoming popular beyond the west at all. I imagine Coffee and Tea are still king.

We've come to a couple conclusions to be reexamined and revised. Smallest of it being your claim to rocketry. You can have it, but Googer would be comfortable if you step it back to smaller scaled stuff. Rocket launchers and the like. But no large-scale, long-range missiles.

Vilage also pointed out an imbalanced sort of interpretation to economic woes and fueling a major military overhaul with Dansk. So there's that imbalance.

Of the bigger concern is your claims concerning the Great War. In the history of the real world Russia, Germany, and Austria-Hungary and substantial claim to and interests in Poland. In some way, all three powers were making initiatives before the war to create a Polish state loyal to them, and made sure to keep the region politically divided between them as to use it as leverage against their enemies. They made concessions and set aside promises to the Polish people in exchange for loyalty and for troops.

The political divide of the Polish region between Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia would have made the state very volatile and violent. And its position between Germany and Russia would have made it a significant source of violence. On Poland in the First World War:

<span class=""bb-i"">""The war split the ranks of the three partitioning empires, pitting Russia as defender of Serbia and ally of Britain and France against the leading members of the Central Powers, Germany and Austria-Hungary. This circumstance afforded the Poles political leverage as both sides offered pledges of concessions and future autonomy in exchange for Polish loyalty and army recruits. The Austrians wanted to incorporate Congress Poland into their territory of Galicia, so even before the war they allowed nationalist organizations to form there (for example, Związek Strzelecki). The Russians recognized the Polish right to autonomy and allowed formation of the Polish National Committee, which supported the Russian side. In 1916, attempting to increase Polish support for the Central Powers and to raise a Polish army the German and Austrian emperors declared a new Kingdom of Poland, (see Regency Kingdom of Poland (1916-1918). The new Kingdom consisted only of a small part of the old Commonwealth, i.e. the territory of Congress Poland, although some promises were made about a future incorporation of Vilna and Minsk. The Kingdom was ruled by three Regents, possessed a Parliament and a Government, a small army and its own currency, called the Polish mark. The Regency Kingdom was the fourth and last monarchy in Poland's history.

As the war settled into a long stalemate, the issue of Polish self-rule gained greater urgency. Roman Dmowski spent the war years in Western Europe, hoping to persuade the Allies to unify the Polish lands under Russian rule as an initial step toward liberation. In the meantime, Piłsudski had correctly predicted that the war would ruin all three of the partitioners, a conclusion most people thought highly unlikely before 1918. Piłsudski therefore formed the Polish Legions to assist the Central Powers in defeating Russia as the first step toward full independence for Poland.

Much of the heavy fighting on the war's Eastern Front took place on the territory of the former Polish state. In 1914 Russian forces advanced very close to Kraków before being beaten back. The next spring, heavy fighting occurred around Gorlice and Przemyśl, to the east of Kraków in Galicia. In 1915 Polish territories were looted and abandoned by the retreating Russian army, trying to emulate the scorched earth policy of 1812;[2][3] the Russians also evicted and deported hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants suspected of collaborating with the enemy.[2][4][5] By the end of 1915, the Germans had occupied the entire Russian sector, including Warsaw. In 1916 another Russian offensive in Galicia exacerbated the already desperate situation of civilians in the war zone; about 1 million Polish refugees fled eastward behind Russian lines during the war. Although the Russian offensive of 1916 caught the Germans and Austrians by surprise, poor communications and logistics prevented the Russians from taking full advantage of their situation.

A total of 2 million Polish troops fought with the armies of the three occupying powers, and 450,000 died. Several hundred thousand Polish civilians were moved to labour camps in Germany. The scorched-earth retreat strategies of both sides left much of the war zone uninhabitable.""</span>

So things weren't pretty in Poland and they'd be very, very heavily scarred. They'd be coming into independence with a lot of wastelands, a scattered diaspora, many dead, and everything overturned if still not divided significantly between the major powers after they withdrew. Polish history in your app for the Great War needs to be re-examined, it may be alternate history but the history of the Great War here is still close enough to the real world that it can not diverge so much that Poland got out scotch free with only a few cuts and bruises, as opposed to broken bones and a few amputations shoddily and stitched back together.

The situation as Vilage suggests would be considerably dire. The military can be powerful in an effort to resist Russia or Germany from making gains on their former territories and client states, but they'd still have issue. It'd be reasonable to suggest that the post-war depression would be incredibly disastrous on Poland with a young economy as young as it is (even if it could have managed to settle full independence from Germany and Russia well before the War ended). And we'd still have lingering effects of economic recession from then on. Being a neighbor to Russia too it might suffer threat from the destabilizing region, think armed groups noble to anyone using their territories as a forward operating base to re-enter Russia and avoid larger political entities.

And ownership of Dansk isn't going to make anything better, nor occupying Czech lands or Ukraine. Both might as well still come with nationalist resentment still - despite the openness - and the other will have high costs associated with maintaining it, repairing it, and getting up to a ""Polish Standard"".

I could see a situation rising where a young proto-government spends what money they can earmark for the military mostly arming these organizations. There is something unique there to exploit. Poland could be a nation with a military where people pay for their equipment initially, with the draw being that the benefits and stability of the military makes it the best job to have initially. The early Polish military would have been small, but educated, and they would have melted together with local border militia's and patriotic paramilitary organizations. 

This wouldn't be sustainable forever, and it would be the way things work in 1980, but it would give you a root to build your military organization from. Eventually there would be more concessions for poor people to enter the service, most likely opening gruntwork to people who cannot pay for any basic equipment (and by equipment I mean, like, their gun and uniform. No planes and shit). The paramilitary organizations would slowly be brought into the government so that they fill a role similar to the national guard in the US. 

This outline creates the Poland that makes mad cash on arms dealing which became so important in the Armenian storyline.</div>"

Clearly this is a bad thing in real life, and of course be displayed as such in the writing, but I'm just curious about the limits of the fiction we write on this site. Racism is a real and nasty thing, but it has also lead to some of the greatest examples of humanity working together.

So, since air technology is around 1930s(When the first jets appeared in Germany, Italy, and the UK and were god awful) What is the stance of land technology? Mostly in terms of small arms and tanks. I've been going around and keeping in mind Italy being around 1940-1951(Mmm, stripper clip fed semi-auto rifles OP) when it comes to that subject, but I'm not actually very sure.

Clarification?</div>"

We don't enforce the use of certain kinds of weapons or vehicles. The only rules are 1) No jets unless you are the US, Spain or China (and even those are very early in development) 2) No advanced optics, radar, ect. 3) No missiles.

Vehicles should be somewhere in the range of 40's to 70's tech, give or take, but without any of the more advanced optics or computer systems that vehicles started to use later on. Guns can follow a similar range but you may get a little more elbow-room there since firearms don't usually use any crazy computer tech. So any kind of gun that is 60's.. maybe 70's tech is probably fine as long as it doesn't have crazy optics and whatnot.

I think the Spanish have night-vision goggles and the like, so they exist, but they are probably not available to everyone. The same goes for a lot of tech, both civilian and military. If it's do-able and it makes sense, you can get away with saying it exists, but it shouldn't be common.

40's - 50's tech makes sense for Italy, since they were an isolationist dictatorship until recently.</div>"

This is good since most of my knowledge about technology has to do with WW2 and Korean War era for military.

Also, since Jets are in the early stages, that means they are still horrifically outclassed in all aspects(minus speed, and even then its only about a 100kph difference unless in a dive) by prop driven planes, right? Need to know should poor little Italy be forced to fight big China monster. (Or if anyone needs to know the capabilities of Jets in the early development and usage against propeller based aircraft)</div>"

They are not <span class=""bb-i"">that</span> early-development. Gorgenmast, Aaron and Byrd all make reference to them being the fastest flying things people have seen, so I'm guessing they are more like 50s and 60s jets.</div>"
24197,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-02-27 18:39:00,Wilted Rose,"<div style=""white-space:pre-line;"">That is... quite a bit of development. Still prop planes would hold a good chance against Jets even if they are Korean war era...ish. I mean, the American P-80 Shooting Star top speed was around 898kph when armed for combat. 

A BF-109 K-4 (Which I assume Prussia would probably be using... or at least one very similar) has a top speed of around 720/710km/h, and has better acceleration, turn time, and climb speed would still be able to put up a good fight against it. The P-80 would have to line up, shoot, and then get away as fast as possible because if it missed(or hit, even then it was only .50 cals) all the cards suddenly went into the BF-109's hands. All the BF-109 has to do is hit the P-80 once with it's 30mm cannon and that thing is going down.

Though, jets do have excellent energy retention compared to prop driven planes. When it turns, it may have a massive turn radius compared to a prop, it can keep it's speed up in that turn and get away.

I'm mostly saying this for Village since he doesn't have jets, and is facing jets. 

Jets are cool, but in the end were only good for short quick passes instead of full out dogfights, which they would lose against props.</div>"

By 'early development', I meant that they are comparable to the jets we had when they actually started to become a thing immediately after WWII, when jets were still far from a mastered art. Another thing to keep in mind is that these jets' computer systems are probably very primitive. So they might be comparable to real-life jets, but only if you strip them of all the fancy computer stuff and replace them with very primitive versions.</div>"
24199,Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat,"['Historical', 'Nation', 'Advanced', 'Military', 'School']",2015-02-27 19:00:00,Wilted Rose,"<div style=""white-space:pre-line;"">The jet I listed was the US's fighter used in Korea, other then the P-51 Mustang. I'm not insisting the current jet technology is 30s level anymore, since I've been presented with the new information. Jets in the 30s were horrible, the Italian one couldn't even reach 400k/h.

So, I was comparing a WW2 Fighter(Granted, a 1945 - years of development experience German bomber interceptor/fighter) to a 1949-Korean War era American jet fighter, not an early development jet like say the... Heinkel He 178, which had a top speed of only around 598 km/h(according to Wikipedia, knowledge of that jet is not something I have)

I'd also like to correct a mistake I made earlier, the P-80 Shooting Star's top speed was actually around 950k/h. I was thinking of the very early development of the plane, not the one used a lot.

Still, the advantages a jet has compared to a prop plane is the ability to choose when to engage. If the P-80 misses, all it has to do is just keep flying away, turn around once far enough, and go for another pass.

I think the real question is if Chinese and Spanish pilots have the experience with said planes to understand that.</div>"

The general presumption being that these three nations are the only ones with the industrial capacity to produce them. But when it comes down to China they pretty much technically stole the tech from the US. They went through an engagement with the US over the Philippines in the 70's during which they managed to shoot down a few US planes, then dragged the wrecks back to mainland China and duplicated what they could restore.

As it technically stands the theory and even the design of jet aircraft exists. The concept came up in the late 19th century actually, but was unsustainable because no country at the time had the knowledge of, or production capability to produce the high-temp steels or metals needed to do it. In this timeline much of what would have been the center for this sort of development (Europe) suffered so much from the Great War and post-war effects and general instability that any funding or industrial capacity put towards development of these things was crippled or became nonexistent. In this regards Spain was able - in theory, unless Googer says anything - was somehow able to take advantage of the situation and spring board its way to being ""almost US tier"" (if not that) and get the capacity to do jets. The US was left industrially intact and could pull it off. And China running on potential just tears apart corpses and remakes it.

So that explains that if it needs it. Of course, the proliferation of this technology comes down to the willingness of any of them to share and the willingness of any party potentially tipping the balance of power with distributing these weapons.

OOC we were just tired of the Top Gun try-harding and Gorgen said it's what he wanted when he set off. But let it happen when it happened. So we all voted to retcon out Jets as the backbone of an air force.

The same logic as with jets applies to computers and nukes. The historical divergence and all of that would have lead to either the deaths of key RL figures to delay or stunt growth in these sectors. And any and all economic and social damage as an effect of the Great War and the post-war rippled out to discourage funding in these areas in the name of austerity.

For guns, vehicles, and all of that then the common line of questioning goes something like this: Did it exist in the period? If yes, did it rely on computers in anyway (battleships, tanks, aircraft, etc)? If yes, did these computers take up a warehouse? If yes, it can be done. Alternatively you could replace instances of ""computer"" with ""transistor"" and basically have the same effect, canceling out a lot of radio technology and over-all effective radar and other guidance technologies. And that's sweeping through the surface.

But things like fax technology exists, since that was developed out in the 19th century and not strictly reliant on computers. So it's still possible to fax some things. It'd just be really slow and rudimentary.

I'm sure Vilage and Googer might have more to add to this too if either one of them steps in. But beyond sort of ""game-y"" explinations it can be styled as: Spitfires are cooler than F-16's.</div>"

Most technological innovations were made by various people independently, and then only after it became important people would figure out who did it first. Not to mention North America with practically equal technology and South America/Australia only a bit behind that of Europe, which suffered no such destruction. Admittedly many nations don't have a lot of scientists/are fairly undeveloped (like my own), but Canada, America, and Australia would have been the primary nations pushing things along, and even a lack of economic development doesn't mean a lack of technological progress.

Just my two cents on the subject.</div>"

So it's not the only sin on our list for psuedo-retro sci-fi somethings. We decided that things would need to be adjusted to account for multiple nullified factors created in this world. And it was done.

Which is not to say that you're wrong. China did complete research into transistors (ECGs) on their own. But in this world it really comes down to what the relevant parties had in mind or where they were going.

I find it real hard to believe that a few dead scientists and a long war is enough to set the world back over fifty years. Especially considering a lot of the scientists that made a lot of the cut tech happen are probably around somewhere in Germany. I'll be honest, a lot of the justification for the stunted tech is very weak and unfounded. I sort of understand why it's in place, but it doesn't by any means make sense given the scale of this technological blackout. I have sort of rolled with it (though I do remember complaining for at least two pages back in MCF), and am okay with continuing to roll with it, but yeah, I don't really buy it. You are really grasping at straws when you try to justify it with a few dead scientists and a long war.

EDIT: It's especially hard to understand the argument when you realize that China has fuckin' satellites, but because a few scientists died in Europe and they had to fight a war for a few extra years, Europeans are stuck in 1950 for life.</div>"

Because Europe doesn't really have much of a mineral based economy and they can't one stop shop. Besides, even today the only way Europe has been to space is to collectively put all their resources into the same pot, unlike the US (which I believe had low or outdated military spending in this RP until the first North American War) or China which in covering a lot of geographic territory contain a lot of natural resources.

Satellite technology is in any event a side-effect of certain aims, if related. They didn't wake up and ask themselves, ""Can we get to the moon?"" Someone asked someone to look into getting their shit to fly higher. Prior to the Revolution they - like in real life - didn't have a developed industry and began to slowly evolve and build that afterwards. Perceived hostility to Communism as a lesson from the Bolshevik's defeat, exile, and imprisonment/executions in Russia contributed to a feeling they'd need to shut up and contain themselves and become self sufficient and then gird themselves against their enemies. And they have very extensive deposits on minerals across the nation.

On the other hand, Europe was import reliant and much of its economy had evolved past producing iron. If we looked at the long-ass war in a realist's light then we might come to the conclusion that it would have sucked everything bone dry. So collectively they wouldn't have the minerals to put towards advanced programs and nothing happened after the fact to create a common political and economic pact over Europe that would allow them to work across national borders as Europe does now to get into space. And no threat from the Soviets meant the US - while dealing with a considerable sum of internal issues - didn't feel compelled to try and keep its place as a top competitor (as well as them not intervening in Europe and spreading their consumer base to the Europeans to get the economic edge they'd need).

By about this time too South America would have most likely been a largely second-tier economy, an exporter of raw materials. There would've probably been minimal refining going on there. Agriculture would of been a large part of their work. Plus their general operations relied on foreign credit which would have become washed out later. So they wouldn't have the means or the focus. And with Africa slipping away from Europe and having gone all the way out by the seventies due in part to Ethiopia Europe would of lost its significant source of minerals.

So the physical limitations are there. Things could have been proposed and theorized on paper but certainly couldn't get far past the design stage or manufacture. So refocusing of a nation's efforts to develop would have been done. Helicopters and the like.

But the lack of computers, advanced rocketry, and nuclear theory has been from the start a closed door from the beginning for nations. In rocketry that didn't really get pursued into very late in Precipice's infancy years.</div>"

The reason we've decided to curtail technological advancement was to provide an alternate universe NRP roughly at the Korean/Vietnam war technology level. Plausibility has been sacrificed to cut down on ""gamey"" bullshit - things like ballistic missiles, F-30gazillion jets, etc. In other words, technology that tends to encourage excessive militarism (big words coming from the guy behind Sotelo, I know) in players at a cost of the storytelling aspects of the time period. I originally came up with an extended WWI because I felt - at the time - it was the most plausible means of creating the sort of world that I envisioned for this roleplay. Aaron has only been following in that tradition and keeping people within the desired technologic scope.

But I also realize that when I originally made this RP, I was anticipating Precipice to go on for perhaps a few months. Obviously, this roleplay vastly exceeded my original expectations. Hugs' comment that ""Europe is stuck in 1950 forever"" has some merit. As time progresses, I think we should consider some incremental advancements in technology. Precipice can't be stuck in the Korean War period forever, so some advances in areas like rocketry, computer technology, etc. are to be expected. But it's far too late in the game to be arguing that we should open the floodgates and let people have access to any piece of technology they want.</div>"

China and Asia has had a long history of rocketry. The Chinese were the first to develop rockets which were later introduced to Europe by the Mongols, who used them to shoot shit with; likewise in China. The concept bumped around Europe and the Middle east because of them, but they knew about rockets through China, and the Chinese have been using rockets in some way for a thousand years by this RP's point.

There were additional uses of more advanced rockets in Asia/South-Asia. Mysore in India was the first to use iron-cast rockets against the invading British forces. So the Indian subcontinent as well had a grasp and understanding of rocketry. So much so it took the British by surprise when iron-cylinder explosives smashed them from the hurka-dirka, chicken-tika eaters.

Another factor that would come into it is a diaspora of Russian intellectuals who fled to western China to get out of the reach of the Tzar. The Russians made some significant theoretical contributions to rocket technology in the early 20th century. Some - or many - of these university intellectuals may have no doubt been critical of the Czar and desired Republican reform, or Communist reform. Then had to get the hell out before they were exiled to Siberia or locked up or shot. Western China has been the sort of under-policed area of China for a while and would make for a target of interest, and what I use to explain the migration of Communism from Russia to China.</div>"

If China had rockets thousands of years ago, then it's no wonder they were the leading contributor to modern rockets and space-flight!

But they weren't. Not in real-life, at least. The fact that ancient Chinese had a limited understanding of rocketry meant jack-shit in real-life and we have very few reasons to think it would be any different in the PoW world. But I am not arguing you shouldn't have shit in space. I will grant that it is plausible. What I am arguing is that, if the Chinese were able to get their shit together (which is an exceedingly more impressive feat than Europe getting its shit together after the Great War), and somehow find the know-how to advance in rocketry, space, and reverse-engineer jets, then Europe, with the likes on Von Braun still kicking, should have had the know-how to make some goddamn jets, at the very least.

I am not saying we should open up the floodgates, though. It's too late for that now. But let's stop bullshitting ourselves. And let's stop picking out the weakest, most irrelevant parts of someone's argument against the bullshit, to write up walls-of-text to try and justify the aforementioned bullshit further (like you did with your rant about resources for satellites, completely missing the point).

I always liked to imagine this as an internet version of the old dime-store pulp magazines from one hundred years ago, where realism is tossed away in favor of atmosphere.

But Googer makes the most important point when it comes to weapons. Old Precipice suffered from that old NRP problem where everyone tries to outdo each other in OOC. That happened in the first Precipice, and it ended up looking like an independent Florida mining ""Steel"" straight from the ground to make top-tier jets and a world-class navy. Honestly, if we had started Precipice with some foresight, we probably would have limited the technology further, but back in the beginning of 2011 we didn't imagine it would last a year, let alone four. That meant that jets entered the storyline. When we came around to fixing the canon, we kept the parts where jets actually played a roll in the plot beyond masturbation. And this wasn't just us going around taking jets away from the people who aren't around as much. Up until last year, Ethiopia had some of the best jet tech in the world because, at one point, Florida randomly sold most of its planes to us for cheap. And I got rid of that because it was stupid.

Weapons are not interesting enough to actually make the RP on their own. People need to learn how to be humble so that they will tell stories instead of jack off about themselves, and the best way to do that is to more or less force it where Spain and China are OP. If people are forced to play second fiddle to them no matter what, than maybe we can avoid the paper-tiger approach to nation-building that makes so many awkward unreadable plotlines.

This is a world where The First World War lasts a decade, where one third of Africa becomes one country because of a little blackmail, where the US just suddenly starts to spite it's Imperialistic tendencies and stays in its own borders for no reason, where every single person in China is perfectly cool with it's authoritarian regime and that same regime is unnaturally benign, where Spain can be an industrial power, where Armenia matters... Precipice isn't realistic. That was never the point.</div>"

But going to the previous point of Hugs: even ancient China didn't have the metallurgy practice to fire off rockets like the V2 by the 16th century, and that sort of engineering wouldn't really come about for a while. And until that point they didn't really *need* it since they were one of the most sizable Empires in Asia and the most influential. And that also around that time the Ming were falling apart at the ""heathen barbarians"" of the Manchus were pulling them apart from the north; the Mandate of Heaven had demanded such.

And by the time it would have mattered for them, it was too late and the Qing dynasty was confident in being ass backwards while western-educated progressives were running around Southern China. They had the concepts to do it, but the later Emperors and Cixi were pretty intent in their ways. Maybe Puyi would have fixed it, maybe. But he came far too late for the Empire's days.

Could I have handled things differently in retrospect? Most likely. However Precipice is too far along and it's been agreed and sealed. I can explore things more since there's a lot of ground to cover and a whole era of the 60's to ponder over. But that's retrospective at this point.</div>"

China didn't just shrug off rockets because they were too important for them, they didn't use them because the tech at the time made them way too unpredictable and therefore useless (just think back to when you've played with bottle rockets and you'll understand what I mean. You can aim that motherfucker, but it'll whistle back around and pop above your head if it feels like it). Rockets before the twentieth century fulfilled a primarily psychological role since they did at least make a lot of noise and explode dramatically. What the twentieth century brought was the ability to guide them enough to make them work.

I assume you mean characters, not pages.

In regards to the whole technology debate, I would say much of the magic of Precipice lies in its realism. If we shouldn't have a weird zany Floridian republic with super advanced jets because it's not realistic, then surely some gradual technological progress should happen because staying in the 1950's forever would be not realistic? The entire concept is based around alternative history, and though to make a good story obviously requires that sometimes be ignored there should be a balance between the two extremes. I feel like nations should be able to develop technologies such as jets or rocketry or what have you (obviously not nukes) if they are reasonably sized and reasonably well developed over a period of time, given an ample amount of time dedicated to explaining it's development, as I have with my little experimental rocketry project since 1976 (and probably destined to last until whenever the next timeskip is or the one after that). And nations such as Prussia should be able to develop them even faster. I don't see why Hugs couldn't at least have really basic jet technology and refine it over time.

I just feel that the technology restrictions should be a little less intense, and should go with Gorgen's suggestion of gradual progress over time as this RP continues to progress into the future.

Honestly, I think Prussia should be able to, at this point, at least be in the early development stage for jets. I honestly think that, maybe except for France (but they're an NPC), Prussia is the only country in Europe other than Spain that could currently handle taking that task on. 
 As much as I would love for Britain to be at that stage also, with all the country has been through, I don't think that they're anywhere near capable to even consider the idea. So it's not like I'm saying it to improve myself or anything. I just realistically see at least Prussia being able to begin on jet tech.

That said, I will now begin writing my post of said Brits struggling to even take on South Africa.</div>"

If there is any hint or sign that it might be done for self-advancement, it shouldn't be done. 

And this is a ridiculously narrow window for me. VX was acceptable because it meant a brutal alternative to nuclear weapons that came with its own moral questions, horrible scenes, and flavor. Aaron's spy-plane is acceptable because it means you get these almost-impartial godlike commentary on shit going down around the world. Hug's massive zeppelin aircraft carriers were acceptable because they were unique as hell and gave Prussia an air of power without using cliches. The limited jets are acceptable because, partially due to how few they are, they put some weight behind the images of China and Spain as the only superpowers. This is the criterion for acceptable tech updates. They have to add something to the spirit of the thing while also making sense. If it all breaks down to ""I should have jets because it is possible if you think about it."" Or ""I should have jets because it will make my country look cool."" then I really don't think you should be given that sort of tech.

The worst thing you can do is start out by trying to simply show off how important or bad-ass you are, because then nobody will give a shit. In the past we let people have a little more breathing room in these things and they responded by fucking up the cannon with the least interesting storylines and characters they could pump out while just jacking off about how important they must be because of all their tech and borders. Now we know better and we restrict these things more. Make something without crazy tech and maybe later you will be allowed to do some crazy tech.</div>"

Don't be i'norant, son. We ain't saying that tech in Europe is stuck in the fifties. When tech leaders move on to more advanced stuff, the default tech will move up. If you want to jump out of the default, you got to do so in a way that looks good.

And what I mean is this. We don't want to see a meeting between dudes saying ""Country is needing some tech. Let us develop a tech. Build the lab and do the tech."", followed by a string of bland posts that look like ""Our tech is becoming good tech. All that good tech is being better tech now too."" Fuck that noise.

Run some espionage mission. Have a guy who tries to come up with jet tech and ends up with a different interpretation of it. Forget about making jets and instead develop something that counters them. When you do things like this, make sure they involve difficulties and trials. Nobody wants to see a spy mission where a perfect spy shoots his way through IB headquarters and waltz's out with the tech in their briefcase. Nobody wants to see somebody create something unbeatable. And, more important than anything, nobody wants to read posts about a nation where all they do is things like successfully tech up and get better politically. Gotta see setbacks and character growth. We wanna see depth, and that means accepting and involving your faction's flaws.</div>"

This was never clarified until just now. There was no reason to believe we would ever go forward with anything because no one ever bothered to set an end-date for the tech limitations until now. Which is exactly what I am arguing should have been done from the start. We set up these rules without thinking of an end-date for them. It was something we made happen because shit had gotten out of hand (in part because, again, no one ever bothered to call this shit out when it was important) and we needed a quick way to fix it.

You're looking at it way too rigidly. Precipice seems to be quite capable of moving forward organically, we just made sure to put a leash on it so that growth could happen in a way that wasn't 'tarded. We've assumed that tech will eventually move forward.

And remember, we've advanced three months of RP time in the last year. We're not blazing ahead so quickly that the tech question is going to be a pressing one.</div>"

-How different was the great war in this reality?  I ask since I need to know if sweden would be able to take a neutral stance on the war as it had in our reality or if it would be forced into the war due to the different circumstances it may have.

-Is the russian empire [before finnish independence] breathing down Sweden's neck with its conquest of finland good justification for increased militarization?  To further the question, did the russian empire at the time have plans to invade Sweden as well?</div>"

That being said, there is no rational reason why Sweden would have to join the war. Once the diplomatic house of cards fell apart at the beginning of the war, things were pretty much set. It was unrestricted submarine warfare that brought the US into the conflict militarily, but the US had been part of the war economically since its inception. Sweden's economy wouldn't be relevant enough to draw the same sort of reactions, so they wouldn't have any reason to join. This world does have Ethiopia join on the side of the Central powers in exchange for military support, but Ethiopia at the very least has solid reasons, having been humiliated by the British and only narrowly escaping colonization by the Italians in the last century.

And the Russian Empire would have no reason to invade Sweden. They could hardly hold on to Finland as it was, and if they wanted to turn their aggressions on a neighbor Sweden just wouldn't have been their first choice. With the economy of Europe having fallen apart, Sweden would probably have suffered as well. I imagine any militarization they would have done would have happened in the wake of Russia's crisis in Finland.

The thing is, I imagine Finland's military exercises now would be limited to naval actions against piracy coming out of the Communes. I can't see the Swedes watching the news hearing about massacre after massacre in Russia and Finland and thinking ""Gee, we really need to get in on that."" They would really have no reason to be aggressive.</div>"

Chances are spain will want other allies in the region, which is where Sweden would come in.  After all, you have not only the northern finland communes, but also the st. petersburg communes that share the baltic sea with Finland and sweden.

Not really.

They are on their own in Western Russia and too busy trying to survive (these guys have so little horse-drawn carriages are a big thing there still). They are not in any position to try and spread their ideology, nor would it be beneficial for them to do so. Quite the opposite. If the Communes started to try and spread their ideology, it would start raising flags with nations like Spain and, being isolated, the likelihood that they would have support from China in a confrontation is very small and not worth the risk. The spread of their ideology itself is not worth it. They are probably content with doing their own thing, surviving and staying hunkered down until they can gain more support from the east.

They don't pose a threat, anyway. Like I said, they are barely getting by and the worst Sweden would get from them is pirates trying to smuggle things. Even antagonistic groups within the Communes would be so weak that the threat they pose to surrounding nations probably doesn't go beyond what you'd expect from Somali pirates. The threat they pose is not that great. At best, it may prompt Sweden to invest in small pirate-hunting vessels for their navy, as well as increased border security, but it probably wouldn't justify a significant military build-up.

The Communism in the region is not spreading. Nor would it be trying to given their very vulnerable position. Communism isn't some kind of plague that infects the water and spreads outward. It needs people to spread it, and the people in the Communes are too busy trying to live day to day. And even if they wanted to spread it, they don't have the means.

I am sure Sotelo could have some kind of agreement with Sweden, but I doubt it would be anything extensive. You also have to bare in mind that Sweden values its neutrality a bunch. Even during the Cold War, Sweden remained neutral, and although they did lean a bit towards NATO, they never fully committed to helping either side. And even during WWII, Sweden played it safe and stayed neutral, selling shit to both sides.</div>"

They're not, like, sending guys on bikes preaching door to door. There is no communist ""Wololo"" guy. They most they could do is have spies and saboteurs, but these actions would be costing Sweden much less then militarization would. 

Commie Finland and the Western Communes are more or less failed states. The biggest threat from either of them would be the effects that their internal chaos would cause. People in the communes could be destitute enough to consider piracy, but this wouldn't be state sanctioned. Rather, it would involve dudes getting whatever weapons they can get and going out in whatever boat they can find to rob undefended ships. You would also most likely have problems with illegal immigrations and crime along the border, but since your border with Finland is so small and rough, it's unlikely that crime would amount to much more than smuggling or maybe a little light farmer-robbing/cattle rustling.

And there isn't much up there for either party in the first place. Northern Sweden and Finland as I've gathered is a rough place, and even under a Communist government I'd think the local Sami tribes just do not give a shit and will keep doing as they do. The government would be more occupied with the urban areas and Southern Finland.

As per Southern Finland's quality: that's unexplored. They are out of their mines in the north, and southern Finland is pretty much swamp.

And later having the Russian Empire marching all of its Grand Duchy to keep order certainly didn't help investment opportunities in the area.

And if you work on fixing up whatever problems the nation has, and make use of its resources, you can become a regional power. 

Your reach beyond South America will be very limited, but if you played things right and it all made sense, you could justify them spreading out their influence. I mean, look at Armenia. Evan took a country nobody knows anything about and, through sheer post count (and a bit of creativity) turned it into something strong in the region that has been able to spread its influence as far as Greece. 

And if you want to be able to fight shit, you'd have guerrillas there that can be your punching bag whenever you feel the urge. There's a lot of potential with that too. Some jungle storyarc with guerrilla fighters could be really interesting. Plus you'd have Mihn to keep you company.

You've got a few options here, imo:

-Stick with Japan and see where you can go with it. As Japan, you're practically one of two (I'm sure Aaron would argue otherwise) powers of East Asia and the only none-Chinese influenced nation east of Kazakhstan. Japan still has a bit of an empire going too, which could lead to some interesting story arcs in the Japanese East Indies concerning rebels, experimentation on natives or even coming into conflict with the British/Australians.

-Go with an African country. Africa, as it stands right now, is a pretty canon-empty continent south of the Ethiopian Empire. The power down there goes to South Africa, which are probably the third African ""power"", if you could call them that. As far as I'm aware (if we're still going with Tempest canon), Mozambique/Tanganyika and Zambia are pretty heavily influenced by Ethiopia while Botswana and Angola are more leaning towards South Africa. Feokris is rebuilding his British Empire, which could lead to some interesting conflicts in that part of the world and this Spanish/Ethiopian conflict could use some commentary from the southern African states.

-Go with an North/South American country. The America's were fairly barren from Mihn leaving during MCF up until now, where we now have three players there. South America is known for being a bit of Bermuda Triangle when it comes to players, with people picking up countries and leaving after one or no posts. The only consistent South America player is Mihndar and I'm sure he gets bored down there all by himself.

Central America and the Caribbean are brimming with potential. Since France and Britain still maintain a presence in the Caribbean, you're looking at colonial tensions brewing in Jamaica, the Bahama's and the Antilles. Central America has never been touched in this RP, as far as I am aware and anything happening there will be watched closely by Revan and Byrd. 

North America, you have one choice - Canada. I'm pretty sure Canadas player hasn't been seen in years but his canon on a warlike Canada still stands. Canada invaded Greenland and Alaska, had an oil baron revolution, fought through several wars with its neighbours and is now in the wake of having a large chunk of it's western provinces and former NWC annexed by America. I don't know what you could do with Canada or if any of Arnie's old stuff is even considered canon but the option is there.

-Go with a European country. Your final choice is to go with a European/Near East country. Europe is and always has been the continent most populated by players and we've seen various iterations of every single country imaginable in Europe. I think at the moment, not including Evan and I, there are 7 players in Europe and things are looking to kick off in various fronts - Germany is looking at Poland and beyond with hungry eyes (if Hugs would post), Serbia is looking to annex the Balkans and create a Yugoslav state all while the remnants of Turkey are looking to retake Independent Istanbul and go to war with it's former colonies. Europe is a bit tense at the moment and it'll only take a random border conflict to kick off. Also, France is the only current world power that has never had a long-time player, so there's that.

<a href=""http://i.imgur.com/AH1rXqg.png"" rel=""nofollow"">Take a look through the map</a>, have a think about what you'd want to do with Japan and then make a decision on what to do - keep going as Japan or look elsewhere in the world.

What I wrote out earlier in reference to any imperialistic desires was a warning on such. China likes a nice stable Asia, and disruption to it will be acted on swiftly to settle it.

Well, Chinese Communism is a weird thing in retrospect. As opposed to Maoism who like to preach the Four Olds and shit, Houist China just hasn't really touched it. Hou hasn't ordered armies of energetic youths to burn down all the shrines and destroy everything that might threaten the Revolutionary Regime. In a manner, it re-incorporates it as a defense. A point in Chinese law here is to identify and ""preserve"" traditional elements as part of the multi-colored fabric of the Revolution.

This of course has lead to a lot of contention between Christians and Muslims, of which I'm dealing with the major figurehead of the later in Chinese politics.

As for Japan, I imagine an issue that might effect them is the demands of their non-Japanese citizens for autonomy or independence in the Empire. The Japanese as I've come to read have historically in some way be pretty racist towards non-Japanese citizens. So though their colonies exist for the make benefit of Japan, they're probably pretty rocky places to be.

Of course, they're as-of-yet to be really explored in the same way I'm exploring Xinjiang.</div>"

You're looking at a Japan that never went through the post-WW2 Americanization. The only force acting against Japanese tradition would be the communism of China, but Japan is also playing the part of the Disgraced Empire, and because of this nationalism and revaunchism would take hold. Their relationship with China would be a teeth-grinding grin and bear it, and the youth would grow up in a depressed society with a tendency toward angry conservatism.

So really, more than anywhere else in the Precipice world, Japan is the one place that would most likely become a Fascist state. Not using the term Fascist of course, since that term was specifically invented during the rise of Mussolini which did not happen here. 

You'd probably be seeing signs of eternal struggle. Communists and socialists being harassed, or even murdered. Paramilitary organizations forming around traditional Japanese concepts of honor. Fanatics wanting to fight an unrealistic war against China while the less fanatical look at the Pacific as their own playground. 

This can all be done, and you can toss caution to the wind in this unique instance so long as you realize a few things. One, Japan cannot defeat China. It would be youthful overconfidence, or a belief that honorable defeat is better than peaceful skulking, that would ultimately drive them against China. China's industrial and military abilities could bring Japan down though. No question about that. The other thing is that, even if nationalism draws them into Pacific Imperium, there isn't much to be gained there. A Pacific Empire might fulfill certain emotional wants, and it might get them some minor economic boons, but it will not make them a major power.

So that is kind of what Japan could be. Exploring the creation of a Fascist state while always living in the shadow of your neighbors.</div>"

But I do recall reading it involved an almost mythical belief Japan should own the four winds or something, and effectively own the world because the Shinto Gods had placed this mission onto the Emperor. Or something like this.

I doubt the Koreans or the Indonesians would be at all loyal to the Japanese, or only really love themselves. The native populations wouldn't really want to support them voluntarily and the ashkaris they could pull from the islands wouldn't be worth much. Not to mention Australia is basically a whole lot of nothing and full of people even more opposite to the Japanese culture than the Koreans being raped or the Indonesians. So attempting to take Australia would just mean a lot of prolonged police work as well as attracting the ire of Britain, since Australia wants to and is trying to, or already has joined the Commonwealth. So they got some political protection there.

China as well would have it support from parties in the International. And since they'd act independently then they're not coming on Beijing's orders. Aggression on mainland Asia would also most likely attract universal ire from the Asian bloc who'd have enough power in the International Politburo to all declare war on Japan.

Considering they've been under Japanese domination for forty-odd years, an entire new generation would have grown up that knows nothing of the pre-Japanese days and frankly probably wouldn't care nearly so much. This new population, containing almost all of the soldier-age population, would be significantly more loyal to the Empire than the older generation that remembers.

There's no guarantee they wouldn't have significant enough air assets and potentially aircraft carriers to both fend off any stuff you send off at them but also place pressure on your forces attempting to contain their landings.

I'm sure that's what the Turks told themselves again and again during their occupation of Armenian territory. Or even Kurdish.

Nationalism isn't that easily breed out over generations. Especially if you're two different peoples.

The Emperor is a God. And the Japanese are the people of that God. Everyone else is not.

That's not quite how nationalism works, I am afraid. Your argument about populations would be true if this was a thousand years ago, but national identity erases this. Koreans are still Koreans, and they will be very aware of this. You also have to remember that Japan was never a benevolent conqueror, and it is doubtable that they have been kind to even the new generation. 

And your representation of the way war works is not... actually how war works. To wage an industrial war, you have to have the industry. This was always Japans biggest problem in the early days, and a major factor in the history of their real world Empire. Pearl Harbor was not an attempt to conquer the United States. Not even an attempt to conquer Hawaii. Rather, Pearl Harbor was the desperate attempt by the Japanese to destroy the US Pacific Fleet so that they could bring a quick end to a Pacific War. They did this because the US refused to sell them oil and they needed to take Dutch Indonesia or else risk being unable to fuel their economy. And they used that strategy specifically because they knew that, once the war started, the US industry would destroy theirs. Remember that Japan is a tiny rocky island, that their Empire was what allowed them to industrialize, and that their modern industrialization is related more to their relationship with the US after the war than it is anything innate within their culture. Case in point, when China finally industrialized their economy dwarfed Japans pretty quickly.

A Japanese War with China would much like their war with the US in our time. A few quick victories around the coast followed by slow economic collapse as China headbutts them into the ground.

No, they of course wouldn't all be loyal. Far be it for me to say that. But if after a year of Nazi occupation many people were already joining the ranks of the collaborators, after forty years the number of people reconciled to the Empire would have continued to rise, even more so if it remained stable unlike the collapsing Ottoman one. Japanese populations could be making inroads into the islands, and people could have been assimilated depending on the country's policies. The reasons for this reconcilement could be many and varied, ranging from simple recognition of the reality of power to a fear of Communism and belief that only a united Japanese Empire can stand against it. The propaganda perpetuated by such a fascist regime would have likely militarized many non-Japanese people against the perceived threat.

And it's important to recognize that some countries are like Finland, while other countries are like Kazakhstan. Not every nationality is as rebellious as the next, and Indonesia is hardly homogenous culturally.

I'm hardly an expert, so I'll take your word for it on the war topic.

Though I would posit that Japan's economy would still be comparable to China's, considering in the real world it took them until the 2000s to do just what you say, with all of the benefits that affords them.

Except in France. Then it was half the country.

But you're comparing apples to oranges there. There were a lot of Nazi collaborators because Fascism was a really popular idea set. Most of the collaborators were local nationalists who saw the Nazi's as a force that would rebuild their governments rather than replace them. That was the entire point of Vichy France - for the Vichy, it was supposed to eventually be all of France. I don't think Petain and his lot knew what Hitler was actually planning to do.

With Asia, you're looking at groups of people who deeply traditional, and already deeply communal. You won't really get them to fear communism (there is a reason Asia was so drawn to it), and they will resent any slight an occupier makes. That leaves Korea out of any polite relationship

Indonesia could possibly be made into an equal partner of sorts, but that doesn't mean much in its own. Even if you somehow overcome the hurdles of diverse number of individual cultures, the underdevelopment of their infrastructure, and the rural nature of their local industry, Indonesia still isn't enough to help Japan make a dent in the Chinese monstrosity.

Japan's economy is comparable because the US occupation. We funneled assloads of money into their economy, and as a result they were able to jump into the Asian market and completely dominate it for a while.

And yes, Precipice China's growth is... peculiar. I'll give you that. I suppose the argument to be made is that Hou's Communism is less heavy handed than Maoism and has made better use of individual talents, since Hou's China always came off as being more of a Single-Party Welfare State rather than a full-blown planned economy.

But it doesn't take a US sized economy to swat down a Japan in this situation. Especially since the US was working with handicaps that China doesn't have. Namely, China is right next door so the entire island hopping business wouldn't be necessary.

Having the raw materials doesn't mean they're a larger economy, since you still need to refine them into a usable industrial product. And then you need to transform the industrial product into an end product like a tank or a ship.

Japan may have the capacity to do that. But it'll only be for their national armory and it'll probably all be in Japan since Indonesia would be too dangerous. And the stuff they produce may not even come back to them. With raw Indonesian produce they're really a sort of a bottom of the barrel western economy. Like the Balkans now, Central America, and much of Southern America (hell, even Indonesia itself. All that ""rich land"" and they're certainly 'murika 2.0) they wouldn't have the internal industrial capacity. The raw material they pull out is basically useless to them because they don't have the infrastructure. And if they build that they'd be entering into competition of manufacturing and higher-tier economies like the US, Europe, or even China itself. The US and Europe could probably bankrupt Japanese efforts too since they're so established.

And with as minimal an industrial base at home as Japan has I doubt they'd be able to develop Indonesia.

But that's even if they can put into the budget the subsidies while balancing police efforts in their colonies and handling political radicalism from both sides of the fence.</div>"

Sort of like what happened IRL.

The sprawling Chinese Empire has needed since its earliest days a means to support it's immensity. They have five-thousand years of history worth of fielding armies that could swallow Europe, and as such a economic and structural demand to match that with super-projects to match: massive irrigation networks and canals, semi-industrialized metal working since well before Europe could do it (they invented the blast furnace after all).

Sporum Precipice was a mess, and its left us a bunch of really peculiar shit. It does seem a bit unfair, but there aren't really any other legit options, since retconning the major powers would collapse Precipice's storylines and allowing people to make the same mistakes now would just make the cannon even more peculiar.

But, in China's defense, they have a better situation for industrialization. Their culture was always what got in the way, but their population and their ability to get at resources cheaply gives them a leg up. Japan has to ship most of their resources overseas and has severely limited real-estate, so industrialization ends up more expensive for them.</div>"

Either option would still piss off the natives. They attempted the same in Manchuria when they controlled it and started a lot of fights and brought about a lot of anger.

You know, I remember hearing about a political game like Risk that was more intense. And people usually do it through Email. The way I heard it on NPR it can get so intense and cut throat it has destroyed friendships, or threatened legit physical violence. Real money I think has also been traded in the form of bribery to cement backroom alliances.

There's a couple of inaccuracies in this. Namely: The ASB no longer exists as an independent entity. Instead, it's turned into the Asian Bloc which is a body of the Third International.

Functionally the International wouldn't be really capable of funding militant outfits. Any funding it receives from its member states is purely to keep it functional in an organizational sense. It doesn't arm people. And it doesn't have a military to call its own by which to assist people. It comes down to the individual focus of the states within.

That said I don't think China's very interested at the moment. I'm sure they might flip something if they're approached but they're not going to proactively seek out anyone.

Good luck with that mess. It sounds more statistical to me than it is fun.

Personally, I prefer Precipice for a bunch of reasons. Considering it's only been a decade IC, there's been so much told and done. The lore, the narrative, all of it is just amazing. Not only that, but the third-person narrative makes telling the story so much better at times. It's not just because of what is quite honestly some of the best writing I've ever seen (I'm lookin' at you, Vilage &amp; Aaron), but because that type of narrative gives way to the different styles of the authors that participate in the RP. A blank, history book-esque narrative rarely has that kind of variety and distinction.

Furthermore, I feel that, though there is the occasional argument (which I am admittedly a big culprit concerning those), we are a much kinder community. In the end, we are always very welcome amongst one another, and though our countries may go to war, we are always laughing and having a good time with each other. Plus, even though I more often than not find myself drifting off for large periods of time, there's always something about this RP that brings me back. Perhaps it is being a part of a huge world like this, telling the story of nations constantly on the Precipice....

Frankly, I can't think of too many people who have had bad experiences with this story. Except Freddy, who cries himself to sleep.

Yeah, and for the record, Mexico is unlikely to fund/supply any coups in the Americas, due more to the fact that the US and Brazil wouldn't take too kindly to Mexican involvement in a militant uprising, rather than a lack of capability.

Concerning the case of a peaceful reformist uprising, however, US/Brazil policies of that nature haven't really been touched on, as Mexico is undergoing one at the moment and there don't appear to be any reactions to that fact so far. Still, if you do choose to play as Colombia, I'd be careful with straying away from the growing influence of a nearby regional power (i.e. Brazil). I did that with the Russian Republic, once. It, uh...it didn't turn out so well.

Point is, you're likely not going to get much support from either China or Mexico, the former because they aren't really interested and the latter because there is the threat of the regional powers.</div>"

Coming out of nowhere just to try and change the current status of jets is just.. I don't know, worrisome. It makes it so much harder to determine whether or not this is a gamey move on your part 'cause yeah, you'll be going through the development, but it's too soon, you know? It'd be better if you did other shit first. 

It feels like you spent time researching how to skirt around the limitations we put in your way when you should have been spending time figuring out how to write a cool story (and writing a fucking app). That to me is a big red flag that tells me you'll just be trying to break the shit we put in place for good a reason. Your motivation shouldn't be technological. it should be story-driven.

You're also not known for sticking around. And yeah, I'm not one to talk, but I am also not trying to make jets. If you are going to do something like this, I'd prefer if you proved that you'll stick around first, instead of leaving it half-finished or something and forcing us to brush even more shit under the carpet.

I am not sure I like your focus on technology as a whole, though. This is a bit nitpicky but it's just weird. I know you like to stamp 'technocracy' on a lot of shit and honestly, the concept of a technocracy is just.. ugh. Stupid? Silly? Whatever it is, it's also not fitting to Poland, or to PoW in general.

A more legitimate concern I have though (but that sort of ties a bit into the previous one) is that Poland shouldn't really be trying to make jets anyway. They have waaaay bigger problems. They should be spending their time, energy and resources on trying to keep the unlikely empire they have built. Ukraine and Czechland are probably a huge strain on the Polish economy right now, and this is without even going into how you may have to deal with things like nationalist movements. Poland has, in a away, inherited the role of Austria-Hungary. They are a multiethnic ""empire"" that should be plagued by problems within its own borders that ultimately strain its ability to focus on much else, at least until they are sorted.

Not to mention Poland is a power in a land devastated by the Great War, with three of the major combatants (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia) having launched campaigns on its soil, and should still be feeling some of the effects of that. They are most certainly not the major power they probably look like when you look at them on the map. Maybe back when Keen was in charge it was, but only because that was back before we decided we needed a heavier hand to deal with nonsensical shit. Now, Poland is going to have to face its many problems. It is not an absolute shithole, but it is probably not a power so great it can afford to start developing jets while its economy is caved in by the strain/cost of its annexations and subsequent rebuilding of infrastructure in those places (especially Ukraine), its on-going occupation of Moscow, and other problems that are probably prevalent and take a front seat to ""omg we ned jets"".

I also have to question how likely it is that jets would even surface in Poland before places like Germany and France.

But right means zooming out a little bit. One interesting way this could be done is actually pitting an open-market Arms industry <span class=""bb-i"">against</span> Poland's own government. I'm not talking about something goofy like a rebellion or coup, but rather a situation where the two both need each other and are at odds. From the perspective of the government, the Polish Arms industry is a major employer and is important both to the stability of the economy and the ability of Poland to uphold any sort of practical military, but that same industry is involved in shady dealings that does not always fall in line with the political position of the government. From the perspective of the Arms industry, the government is necessary for keeping a stable nation-state where the industry can thrive and maintaining the ports and trade relationships necessary for keeping the industry in money. This gives you something to go on. Perhaps it comes in the forms of factions or political parties, where some are in favor of giving the Arms industry everything they want and others want to see the industry reigned in and regulated. You could have plotlines where Polish weapons are being sold to Poland's enemies in Russia and the government finds out about it. Maybe the Arms industry is interested in <span class=""bb-s"">forcing Hugs to post</span> selling to Prussia and it weakens the position of the government. Maybe socialists enter as a third party and their calls for workers rights creates a weakness in the Arms industry that the government tries to exploit. 

It doesn't have to be that, of course, but it should be <span class=""bb-i"">some</span> sort of story. But you definitely should <span class=""bb-u"">not</span> be starting out with some gamey jet tech shit that nobody will remember or pay attention to.</div>"

As opposed to focusing on Poland only without perspective we will require some sort of relative position according to the Spanish arms industry and its stock value against Poland, as well as the Germans who have historically had a strong industry. The collapse of Russia and its industrial capabilities may also be used to contrast against Poland (this can also feed into the Russia proposal Vilage made where the demand for arms in Russia would be a gold mine for Poland and others, and the industry may accidentally or will knowingly sell to its own enemies).

And the US nationalization of New England Weapons Industry might be a factor too, but that's such a young happening it probably won't be a factor just yet.

If we're talking industries than the thing to consider is not only the product but also its profitability on the market. Focusing on how its developing teh l33t neu weapon isn't really interesting. I'm sure Mad Men tier shenanigans of some Wolf On Wallstreet stuff could do with any and all presence it has in the stock market.

Especially considering the current economic status of the Slavic Union/Poland, the government would need a damn good reason to dedicate funding to jet research, although, in all likelihood, it'd end up being a mostly corporate endeavor for that very reason.

Germany is using the Prussian flag. Since the flag of the Ottoman Empire and the flag of modern day Turkey is basically the same, I would say yeh. I don't know about Serbia though...

Remember though that the Ottoman Empire is newly collapsed. With Greece occupying the Ionian coast, Istanbul independent, and most of the ethnicities of the old Empire governing themselves now, Turkey is reduced to central Anatolia. It has only been a couple of months since this collapse happened, so the region would be best classified as chaotic. Armenia and Greece would be the only stabilizing forces in the region.</div>"

<a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/jeddaven"">@Jeddaven</a>

Turkey is probably not an enemy. Relations are sour, probably, but I think 'enemy' goes too far. Especially if you go with Vilage's suggestions to have an Arms Industry that deals in shady shit. The arming of Armenian rebels could have been done by the Arms Industry without authorization by the government. Or it could have been the government, but the blame could fall on the Arms Industry.

And Prussia wouldn't be an enemy as much as it is a concern. Like, there is no on-going conflict happening between them, just, like.. they are wary of each other, I guess.

Serbia is not their enemy either, I don't think.

Aside from that, your biggest enemy would probably come from within. There are probably Czech and Ukranian nationalists that aren't pleased to suddenly be Polish. You could look into Austria-Hungary and the problems they faced to see more or less what you'd be dealing with. But in short, a lot of people trying to gain more rights for their minority group, trying to secede, protesting, rioting, maybe even small-scale rebellions and assassination attempts, ect. It depends on how big it is allowed to grow and how long the problem is allowed to exist, but Austria-Hungary had to deal with all of that at different points. And then the Archduke happened.</div>"

Personally, I believe it may have required a man like him. He managed to win a war on several fronts. Against Britian, Italy, and France's colonial armies. As well as the Greek and Armenian armies.

I don't really see it happening though. If a bunch of mostly uneducated Armenians (probably farmers and such) with very little can topple an empire and then actively participate in its Balkanization, then a bunch of educated Turks from said toppled empire ought to be able to get a hold of shit, kick them out and restore some semblance of competence to their leadership.

It depends on how big it is allowed to grow and how long the problem is allowed to exist, but Austria-Hungary had to deal with all of that at different points.

Yeh. The Armenian storyline might be simplified because... well, all of our stories are simplified. But It isn't necessarily unbelievable.

France and Algeria. Russia and Afghanistan. The US and France in Vietnam. The US in Iraq. It's a bad idea to underestimate what happens when a group of people are willing to sacrifice everything.

Not to say that people should start using that as an excuse to start doing stupid shit. As a rule of thumb, people only fight when they have a personnel connection to something. You can get people to fight for their homelands much easier than you can to get them to fight far away.</div>"

Hold up just a goddamn second.

In every single one of those examples, the loser in the strong invader. That is not what happened in PoW. In PoW, the loser was the strong defender, and the winner, somehow, was the weak invader. The defender in this case is also educated and at least well-armed, where the defender is under-armed, under-manned and with a population that is not as well educated. Not to mention the defender has the automatic advantage of being home, where most people will support the defense

Literally the only thing the invader has going for it in this case is the made-up disadvantage of the defender's leadership being incompetent. But holy hell, how incompetent do you have to be to let this happen? And, like.. really, where the hell are the country's educated people? They're just sitting somewhere while all these weak states pick away at their nation? They're like ""well our sultan was stupid so there's nothing we can do <span class=""bb-i"">now that he's FUCKING GONE.</span>""

In your examples, it was weak, highly uneducated guerrilla fighters successfully fighting off major powers. So why can't a, let's say 'decent', moderately educated nation that is at least partially industrialized, well-armed and at the very goddamn least more organized than just any guerrilla group having trouble stopping all these weak nations from picking it apart?

We gotta get you set up with some ""Fall of the Roman Empire"" literature. The fall of civilizations is a fascinating subject.

I'm afraid you have the common disease of looking at the world through its national borders. It took me a while to figure out what you meant because you seem to ascribe all of the Ottoman Empire to a Turkish majority because the Turks drew their lines over the thing. I don't know the exact balance of Turks to non-Turks in these territories in Precipice because there were several layers of genocides and the later layer takes place after the Rp's history changes. But the Ottoman Empire was, much like the Austrian Empire, stressed to the breaking point by our RP. The fact it survived this long at all is sort of impressive. How this would effect populations is unclear, so we'll have to use RP based clues.

So lets assume that Armenia has an Armenian majority. This means that the bureaucracy of Armenia is all that is Turkic. Historically, the Ottomans just went with being a multi-national Empire. This was in part because nationalism as we think of it was a 19th century invention so most of the ethnicities within their Empire didn't think about becoming independent until the Empire was already descendant. So if Armenia is mostly Armenians with a thin-layer of middle class Turks, and the Armenians got them some nationalism, an Armenian revolution would turn the Turks into occupiers overnight. 

As for the incompetence of the Ottoman Empire... this isn't that crazy either. Think the Habsburgs, 18th century France, or 13th century China, or 5th century Rome. Or, if you really want to get controversial, 21st century America. In a state that has existed as a fact for hundreds of years and has managed to grow relatively successful, an insular nobility will arise where competence becomes less important than connections. The states energy becomes less about preserving the state and more about the leaders of your nation trying to preserve their own wealth. Think about the story of how, after Alaric sacked Rome, the Emperor Honorius is told that Rome is slain He thinks it is his pet Chicken named Rome, and when the servant says that it is the city that fell and not the chicken, the Emperor replied ""Thank god for that."" Or the more well known ""Let them eat cake"" episode of the French Revolution. Or the existence of Libertarianism in the modern US. There is something about decedent Empires that breeds incompetence.

This doesn't mean that now that Turkey is freed from the old Ottoman power structure there cannot be an Ataturk. That's just the problem with Precipice. To have an Ataturk, we kinda have to have a Turkish player.  

With a nobility insulated from society governing a multi-ethnic Empire where only the Turkish ethnicity really has any interest in participating, where economic recession is almost guaranteed and the military is most likely staffed by draftee's and the poor who have little hope of advancement, the Ottoman Empire is doomed. Which makes sense. The Ottoman Empire should have fell during the Great War.

Then look at Armenia. Here you have a population where you can assume 33% or so are die-hard patriots, who are supported economically and logistically by several foreign states who know the Empire is going to fall and wants to make sure it falls in a way that benefits them, and who are the majority in all of the territories (or at least most of them) that they are claiming. They are just one of several similar rebelling states. The land they are fighting in is land they know, and it is difficult terrain. Armenia, after all, isn't an urban place. They have more than a chance.

Realistically, the biggest problem for Armenia would be the fact that it's a tiny place with crap land. They aren't in a position to compete economically with the rest of the world. Maybe pushing over the corpse of a dead Empire was easy, but now Armenia is up against the world and surrounded by chaotic failed states things are going to be tougher.</div>"

If the land has an Armenian majority, than it is Armenian in reality and only Turkish in the abstract. The Armenians are fighting for more than just an idea, they are also fighting for their farms and their neighborhoods. 

And the Turks did fight. But i'm not sure what you expected them to do. The Turks are a nationalistic people, but if they had no faith in their government and their government was just no longer capable of holding together, how would they react? It takes faith in the system to make the war work, and a system you can have faith in. It's not like all the Turks could just buy rifles and walk over to Armenia. They might be angry, they might be ashamed, but what is your average guy gonna do about it? If you cannot actually rise to a position of prominence, and those positions of prominence are held by a small nobility of people who think they deserve what they have by right rather than doing anything to earn it, then you are stuck in a broken system. And that is extremely disheartening. A system this broken, where all the wealth is pooled at the top, also creates a situation where you aren't actually rewarded for service to your country. Not really. Work hard and it just gets you a bad back. Fight hard and you just end up shot. And then nobody has faith.

Really, it comes back to the Ataturk thing. Post-Ottoman Turkey has a lot of potential, but somebody has to join as them for that potential to become something.</div>"

They managed to play the time game in much the same way Ho Chi Mihn played the time game against America. A physical tactical victory was impossible for the Vietcong and they knew it. However they knew a country could grow war weary and wanted to prolong the conflict long enough that the people demanded an exist strategy.

Same thing that happened in the Second World War, almost. As that conflict was carrying on over two fronts the American people were starting to demand out and the US military was having a hard time raising funds to keep up fighting. The war from a day-to-day standpoint was funded through marketing War Bonds to the civilian population. But the War Bonds would only sell provided the American people had faith. And before Iwo Jima (I believe) the civilian moral was getting low. They needed a big victory to feel they had faith in the system so they may get back to funding the US war effort.

This is what happened in Turkey, except the Turks couldn't win the ultimate faith-restoring battle they needed in the mountains of Armenia. And let's examine the tactical implications of mountain combat: it's narrow. You don't get a lot of mobility in it. Early on Suleiman may have pulled it off because they weren't as stretched out as they were by the time Evan happened, but when Armenia decided they had enough the Empire was already stretched thin and distressed and the Sultan couldn't have been able to afford to send men in. And the scale at which they expanded at no doubt meant they were able to effectively rule that land.

To draw a comparison in antiquity: Justinian's Byzantine Empire. Over the entire reign of Emperor Justinian the Byzantines almost had turned the Mediterranean into a Roman Lake again. However the size of the Empire meant it was unruly and to keep up with its day-to-day means meant it needed high taxes. Same could be said to Suleiman's Ottoman Empire, just with the added benefit of modern-day nationalist and ethnic identity.</div>"

That comparison to Vietnam would be valid if Vietnam had been invading the US, but that's not what happened. The American people grew tired of fighting a costly war overseas, because at the end of the day no one cared as much about Vietnam or communists if it meant losing thousands upon thousands of American lives on some foreign land.

The situation with the Turks here is way different. They were fighting off an invasion. And because they believed Anatolia to be their land, they should have fought harder for it. The heavy cost means a lot less when you are fighting for your own home. I think the Vietnam example you brought up is a bit silly in this context but if we're really going to use it, then the Turks fit the role of the North Vietnamese more than they fit the role of the US, since they were the ones being invaded. Armenia would be the one with the role of the invader.

Even Vietnam excluded we had parties who wanted to end a war even when the enemy was on the home turf here in the US. In particular the Copperheads who wanted to end the war with the Confederacy with immediate peace, goals or direction be damned.

The simple fact is war wears people out and even if at home or abroad the longer a conflict goes the more it'll grind on people's ability to endure the policy and take the weight of the stress brought by war. At some point they will simply cease to accept it and the governments ability to wage it will deteriorate if continued combat will lead to social unrest at home.</div>"

I am not denying that war wears people down though. But it's convenient that it was the Turks that became exhausted first.

EDIT: I don't really want to keep arguing about this though. Whether or not Armenia's success makes any sense at all doesn't really matter now that it's done. The best we can hope for is that someone takes up Turkey so it's more than just a punchbag.</div>"

That comparison to Vietnam would be valid if Vietnam had been invading the US, but that's not what happened. The American people grew tired of fighting a costly war overseas, because at the end of the day no one cared as much about Vietnam or communists if it meant losing thousands upon thousands of American lives on some foreign land.

The situation with the Turks here is way different. They were fighting off an invasion. And because they believed Anatolia to be their land, they should have fought harder for it. The heavy cost means a lot less when you are fighting for your own home. I think the Vietnam example you brought up is a bit silly in this context but if we're really going to use it, then the Turks fit the role of the North Vietnamese more than they fit the role of the US, since they were the ones being invaded. Armenia would be the one with the role of the invader. The problem then becomes that, since they both believe the land to be theirs, there is no ""the cost is too high to prolong this war in foreign land"". They would both want to fight hard for what they believe is theirs.<footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/pepperm1nts"">@Pepperm1nts</a></footer></blockquote>

It's only their home if they live there though. If the communities in Armenia are mostly Armenian then Armenia is only abstractly Turkish. The loss of Armenia might rub on Turkish pride, but it doesn't mean the Turks as a people or culture were threatened with subjugation or extinction. If the danger is abstract than the population will much more easily lose the will to fight. At some point, ""The cost is too high to prolong this war in foreign land"" does happen.

I mentioned Algeria earlier. I think Algeria is the closest equivalent there is. France identified heavily with their colony in Algeria, to the point that it was a eventually made a fully integrated member of France rather than a colonial second-fiddle, but they did eventually get forced to leave by native resistance. And France was not a collapsing Empire at the time.</div>"

I haven't been talking about Armenia-Armenia, though. I am not arguing the Turks would fight to the death to take back central Armenia. Central as in what we know to be Armenia in the real world. I am talking about the eastern parts of Turkey that are only Armenian depending on who you ask. That land has been Turkish for a long time now in the RP and the real world. That is what I am arguing they would fight for. I am not saying they would fight to the last man to take back Sevan. I am saying they would fight to the last man, or close, to take back.. I 'unno, Erzerum and that huge chunk of land Armenia took. And Istanbul. And what the Greeks took.

This is the shit that we really need to be careful with. Look, I agree that commitment can sometimes be held above things like realism. It's okay if Googer has a fucking train get snatched by a plane because 1) it's cool and 2) he's googer and he's a big part of PoW, and we trust him. Plus that's a small, unimportant thing. But that doesn't mean we should excuse any nonsensical thing just because the player stuck around long enough to make it happen. If it's questionable, it's questionable and it should be called out. 

Mihn stuck around long enough to make Brazil impossibly influential and that didn't stop us from stomping it out, for good reason. It should be no different with other players. I am not saying we should stomp out what Evan has done, though. But ""he stuck around so it's okay"" is bullshit.</div>"

We've called people out before despite them being involved. Honestly, Evan's falls pretty squarely in acceptability. Its more believable that the Pan-African Empire, honestly. 

And regarding Armenian populations, the important thing is who lives where. That's always the most important thing. And when talking about the Ottoman Empire, it becomes somewhat confusing. If we look at a map of who lived where in 1910, we get the beginning of a picture.

<img src=""https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/AsiaMinor1910.jpg""/>

This would be after the first Armenian genocide but before the second. I don't actually know how brutal the genocides were in the RP's history, but even a shrunken Armenian influence would still put Erzurum in territory with an Armenian majority. Algeria remains a good roadmap. There were French settlers in Algeria who tried their damnedest to hold on to power, but when the war got ugly the mainland French lost interest in maintaining a bloody and costly war. 

When I drew the split up, I was mostly trying to make the Turkish situation look like something interesting. Istanbul being independent was dramatic flair on my part, but it was done based on the fact that he Empire had literally just split up a week before this thread started. There is clearly a conflict built into that situation that would turn into something, but somebody gotta join to make it happen.</div>"

Get da feck outta hea' with dat.

This is 1980, to start.

Because modern maps are a rarity here's a few quotes from wikipedia:

<blockquote class=""bb-quote"">Armenians in Turkey have an estimated population of 40,000 (1995) to 70,000. Most are concentrated around Istanbul. The Armenians support their own newspapers and schools. The majority belong to the Armenian Apostolic faith, with smaller numbers of Armenian Catholics and Armenian Evangelicals.</blockquote>

In 1995 there were only between 40,000 to 70,000 Armenians in Turkey, and most of them, according to that quote, were around Istanbul. This means there wouldn't even be that many Armenians left in Eastern Turkey, so they wouldn't be a majority there in PoW like you claim.

Another quote:

<blockquote class=""bb-quote"">Until the Armenian Genocide of 1915, most of the Armenian population of Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire) lived in the eastern parts of the country that Armenians call Western Armenia (roughly corresponding to the modern Eastern Anatolia Region).</blockquote>

Armenians, according to that, left Eastern Turkey after the genocide (or were killed).</div>"

In a world where Armenia remains part of the Empire and the collapse of European power ends the ""Armenian question"" for a while, population growth that went into the two million Armenians living in modern Russia would have instead fed into the Ottoman Empire. 

It's hard to tell, it could go several ways. But the nice thing about ""Go several ways"" is that you still have options.</div>"

It is irrelevant. If the genocides still happened, whether or not the Ottomans collapsed, or if the Iron Curtain happened, literally does not matter. Why? Because you are grossly underestimating the death toll of the Armenian genocide. There were 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey in 1914. The genocide began in 1915 and by the end of it over a million people were killed. If the genocide happened, none of what you mentioned matters. You'd still have over a million Armenians dead and their population in Turkey devastated and dispersed.

EDIT: Maybe the population growth bit matters but that's not certain. And I don't understand why they would have ""fed into the Ottoman Empire"". Why not Europe? Why not anywhere else BUT the country that was responsible for the genocide? </div>"

If you are an Armenian in 1950 and you want to move to an industrial town to make a decent living, the border decides where that town is going to be. In our world they went across the Soviet Union.

You don't even know this for certain, though. And it seems like the least likely destination for them given they'd want to get the fuck away from the people responsible for their persecution. They could have ended up anywhere, and more than likely not in Turkey. Hell, maybe they ended up in South America.

EDIT: And then we finish this argument in Steam like gentlemen. The verdict: Yeah, there are some things that are a stretch but it's too debatable to agree on anything. Plus it's too late anyway. 

Please no one continue this shit, I'm too tired for it and I got what I wanted, which was a hesitant 'eh, maybe' from Vilage. He didn't fully budge but I think he almost did and that's good enough for me.</div>"

It kind of ended like ""It's certainly possible, and more possible than a lot of things that happens in Precipice."" IMHO its more believable than the entire Ethiopian faction, than Spain becoming a superpower, and than Germany calling itself Prussia and grabbing a construction worker to be its King. 

Reality is stranger than fiction, and Armenia was never really that strange. So long as something is economically possible and not baldface stupid or gamey, it works.

So then we come back to the original-original argument that happened when this was first an issue on who draws borders and in the end I think we already settled this fucking two years ago. It's over and done and under the bridge, don't burn it to sink it in the water again.</div>"

Armenian had outside help from other countries if I recall, which probably justifies any tech gap issues since I don't recall ottomans being known for innovation.  Euro tech from Spain probably equals the Ottoman Empire being dead for instance.

-In the year 1961 around December, the military Dictator Benito* Muñez begins to mobilize his troops, under the pretense of ""Bringing Panama back to Colombia"".
-The somewhat organized military begins to march into colombia and occupy multiple towns, but continue their advancements.
-The colombian military manages to advance to the Canal despite resistance from Panama's people.  
-America, despite Benito believing a isolationist America, dealing with florida's rebellion and canada's invasion would be too occupied to bother, intervenes and more than likely the colombian military will be totally screwed in Panama.
-Chances are Colombia's neighbors condemn the act of blatant imperialism, mainly so they stay on the USA's good side and because South America's colonies tend to like keeping borders the way they are from what I recall.

But the real fun comes in the political fallout of Colombia's military dictatorship trying to do such blatant land-grab. Chances are the dictator gets a counter coup and the <span class=""bb-s"">timocracy</span> republic gets restored, but it wouldn't be the same.   However, what the US and/or Brazil does to Colombia is what I need to take into account.

However the end result I am trying to get for Colombia is essentially a even less stable mess of a place where land lords need to raise personal militias just to defend themselves.  As already said in the lore and mihndar's colombia related postings, Colombia is swamped in guerrillas and druglords to the point where Brazil led interventions to stop cocaine from getting all over the continent and spain are rather frequent, especially as of recent.

Despite all that, there still is a functioning state.

*Benito is spanish as well as italian.

Polish men were being conscripted en-masse by both sides of the conflict, and much of the countryside had been turned into wastelands pockmarked with craters and littered with corpses. In 1921, a large portion of the Royal Polish Army revolted against their Germany commanders in response to the continued deportation of Polish citizens to labor camps in Germany. They were quickly followed by the Polish Legions under Jozef Piludski's successor, Lechoslaw Sikorski, who collectively refused to continue to allow deportation of Polish citizens. The rebelling Polish forces experienced heavy casualties during the early days of the revolution, although the distraction they provided only served to worsen the course of the war, further drawing each side into a quagmire. Largely due to the fact that the Russian Empire had long since withdrawn to deal with Bolshevik rebels, the Polish rebels were able to focus almost entirely on Austria and Germany, and had pressured both nations into granting Polish independence as the war continued to worsen. In 1922, Poland was independent once again. <br/><br/>Despite the incredible victory that Poland had just achieved, economic troubles were close behind. In the initial years, with much of its farmland still in the process of being prepared for cultivation, the Polish government was forced to turn to trade in order to survive. Many surplus weapons were sold off to various bidders in return for food, and ports such as Gdansk were rapidly remade into the trading capitals they had been centuries ago in an effort to provide the country with a much-needed lifeline. Initially, casualties due to famine and disease were high, although a renewed focus on technology allowed Poland to eventually recover and reach a state of economic growth.The economic growth that Poland experienced allowed it to fuel military buildup, and thusly secure its position. Poland was quick to replenish its armed forces, and began a decades-long campaign of urbanization in hopes of helping their industry recover. The Polish government and its people clung to their newfound freedom, and took drastic steps to ensure that their position remained secure, especially beginning in the 1970s. Austria, unable to exert sufficient force against Poland, lost the territory to the Republic of Poland, which soon afterwards adopted the name of ""the Slavic Union"", in an effort to appear more welcoming to the citizens of the Czech Republic.  <br/><br/>Only five years later, though, eastern Europe would be embroiled in conflict once again. Poland's relations with the Ukraine, at the time, were largely neutral, but still quite strained, largely due to Poland's evident attempts to increase its base of power. But a few weeks into the Hungarian invasion, the Polish military had mobilized, and, after an agreement had been reached with the Ukrainian government, crossed the border into the Ukraine. Despite initial successes, the Polish military encountered several obstacles along the way. In particular, Ukrainian civilians often attempted to slow the progress of Polish troops in rural areas, due to the fact that modern communication in the area was extremely sparse and many rural communities still held animosity towards Poland. In particular, though, the fact that large portions of the Polish military hadn't seen combat in several years resulted in heavy losses against the Hungarian forces in the first few battles of the war, though they were largely successful. <br/><br/>Polish Forces, despite initially heavy losses, were able to force the Hungarian forces out of the Ukraine in short order, gaining both valuable military experience (which, for the most part, they lacked) and a third member of the Slavic Union in the process. <br/><br/>One year later, in 1976, the Polish government deployed forces in Moscow as part of a peacekeeping operation. Violence in Moscow was reaching an incredible high, and came to threaten the stability of Eastern Europe as a whole -- especially the weakened, recently invaded Ukraine. Thankfully, Polish forces were able to quell the ongoing violence, and, soon afterwards, occupied Moscow and the surrounding area. President Anatol was quick to pull forces out of the region and replace them with mercenaries, a move that was widely opposed by his political enemies. Now composed of three nations, though, the government of the Slavic Union was quick to pour funding into military research and logistics in order to relieve its already badly stretched forces. <br/><br/>Despite the generally unified state that Poland is in, there are several notable people with political stances largely contrary to that of the current government. This is especially true in the military and the arms industry, where a more aggressive Poland is encouraged. Perhaps most notably, Mateusz Wyrzyk, CEO of Poznan Engineering Works (Poznań Zakłady Inżynieryjne), has frequently pushed for a more aggressive and independent stance to be adopted by the Polish government. PZI was and remains one of the largest manufacturing corporations in Poland, in both military and civilian sectors. Despite what the name may imply, the company also oftentimes funds research into various technologies, and maintains strong relations with major Polish universities like the Warsaw University of Technology, Jagiellonian University, and the University of Wroclaw.</div></div><br/></div>"

The years preceding the Great War would be spent in a naval arms race with Argentina and eventually Brazil that ended at the onset of the War due to the reality that most manufacturers of vessels were focused on their own fleets.<br/><br/>Neutral in WW1 Chile decided to take position as economic support, however in practice the large German minority in Chile influenced things to the point that almost all business was done with Germany and the Central Powers.  By the end of the Great War Chile had benefited from its exports, particularly the abundant Nitrate deposits that had been vital for decades.  While the end of the war brought about a period of depression profits kept in reserve helped keep the nation afloat in the crisis, though only the elite were able to weather it without worry.  Indeed in 1926 while the elite who largely controlled the parliament gorged themselves on the nations wealth even in rough times an increasingly powerful working class founded a Marxist party that to the surprise of many gained massive popularity among young officers in the military.  Seeing the older military command having been bribed into submission much of the enlisted followed suit.  With the new Marxist party gaining rapid support across the nation and in the military the Chilean parliament was panicked.  Fearful of violent revolution, which many were convinced was going to happen, parliament attempted to bribe Marxist politicians and even the candidate many favoured for president.  In 1928 with these bribed Marxists now in both the parliament and the presidency the old elite felt assured that under false representation the public would be content.<br/><br/>That decision would prove disastrous.  With supposedly docile Marxists in their ranks the old elite continued their normal behaviour for another two years before enough information was gained to signal a coup.  Led by the president that was thought to be a puppet by parliament the coup was rapid and effective, dismantling the old parliament and military command in three days. As a result President Jose Baer set up the first truly Socialist Chilean government in 1930.  A new constitution followed and a sort of Socialist Republic was born after a process in which opinions were gained from most prominent individuals to determine how the nation should be run.  Following elections held immediately after Jose Baer retained the presidency with little contest.<br/><br/>Sweeping reforms would follow through the 1930’s and 40’s that focused on building infrastructure and improving education, the economy, and working conditions.  In this time many candidates would run against the Socialist candidates and gain significant representation.  This balance was generally approved of and kept private interest alive in Chile, though usually under strict government supervision.  Ties were strengthened with neighbouring South American nations regardless of political affiliation but rather on the basis of continental solidarity and exports continued much as they did before the coup, with both local and distant international partners keeping the Chilean economy strong and versatile with and the government alongside private industry trading abroad.<br/><br/>With a reliably strong economy Chile continued to develop in much the same way with huge investments in infrastructure and other amenities gradually changing many impoverished areas for the better.  This state of affairs proved stabilizing and where many other states would see unrest, Chile would remain secure.  However this emphasis on the public would only continue until the 1970’s.  Seeing a strong destabilization of global affairs in the decade along with instability in nearby Brazil which despite historical political differences had remained an ally a public shift led to the election of Luis Sepulveda in 1973.  Leading a campaign based on increased national security Sepulveda brought about a revival of the military purchasing equipment from various international sources and starting numerous programs to expand industrial centers for the arms industry.  In the period Sepulveda brought about little in the form of political change but did place a strong emphasis on South American unity, reinforcing ties with the SAC and looking to local industry before going elsewhere in almost every case.  Re-elected in 1979 Sepulveda presides over a strong Chilean economy with a rejuvenated military, however not all are pleased with his methods and for the first time in decades there are stirrings of instability with many groups stating the expansion of the military risks the degradation of Chilean society. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Military:</span><br/><br/>The Chilean military has historically taken second place to domestic spending however in recent times has experienced sweeping reforms and rearmament.  Focusing on with the navy Chile has sought to command its sector of the Pacific and has refurbished Easter Island with a substantial offshore naval base.  In addition efforts have been made to reequip the air force with a variety of high endurance bomber and fighter aircraft to protect the Chilean coast.  Comparatively army expenditures have been less, but the upgrades have still been significant.  Working to have all soldiers well trained has been the highest priority and new equipment has been gradually coming in to replace an aging base of arms.<br/><br/>EDIT: Reworded a few things.</div>"

I would have met with Vilage but he wasn't on. But the three of us concluded that you're still rather persistent on pushing the tech boundaries more than need be. Poland is a semi-glorified arms dealer, not a military think tank. You also forgot to mention or bring up that Poland is pretty much using Armenia as their market testing ground for their guns and similar equipment, which is something that needs to be said because it's honestly pretty major.<br/><br/>But beyond admitting to national troubles during the Great War (that I can tell anyways, and hope you implied) you do skirt around and don't mention the issue of any unrestful bodies from Ukraine or Czechoslovakia being members of this Polish-lead political union. The only area this comes up is Polish military presences, which isn't a way to enforce security and we're afraid you're going to game around the issue of Czech and Ukrainian nationalism with the cheap ""Military Presence"" card and expect them to be stable and subservient members to Polish hegemony.</div>"

Not just economically straining, but in terms of nationalism and the dissent that is probably prevalent from some groups there, who want independence or more autonomy. Some of these groups will try to gain those things politically, and some will be violent. Either way, it would be a big problem for Poland that is worth mentioning. You didn't mention it, and the closest thing to it is your mentioning of a military build-up to ""strengthen Poland's position"". While it's arguable that Poland would want to build-up its military out of fear of Germany and the instability in Russia, it sort of comes off as you using the unrest within Poland itself to justify a military build-up. It would sound less like that if you addressed the problem in the sheet and mentioned what Poland has been doing to quell it, not just militarily but politically.</div>"

That's the only glaring thing about the later part of the app for me. One thing you could do to help yourself out is make more out of the dissonance between the government and the industry, but that will depend on what you are wanting to rp.<br/><br/>The early part of the app isn't ideal, however. I think the way you describe the rise of Poland needs work. For one, tech isn't the field that an economy starts with. Tech means education, and education means a functioning middle class. One thing you could pose Poland as in the thirties and forties is a place that Russia bought from because they were cheap that way. Polish machinists make replacement parts for Russia and the Ottoman Empire. They rebuild their military through a universal draft where draftees are divided between military service and public. From their, they are able to form the middle class necessary for a bureaucracy.</div>"

The sudden cut in war-time spending ending the mass production of a lot of things as well as Europe having sapped most of its resources would have worsen an already potentially significant international depression.<br/><br/>It's not wholly massive, or not as big as it could be for you.

Color prettiness will always be subjective but I thought some of the colors the other versions used were too bright.<br/><br/>- Painted France and Persia gray because they don't have players.<br/><br/>- Painted NPC Comintern countries gray. Painting them different shades of red like they were before is confusing to anyone unaware of the Comintern, which is pretty much everyone looking to join.<br/><br/>- Made up a symbol for countries in alliances. If you look closely at Comintern countries, you'll notice they are tagged with a symbol the same color as China. That means they are in an alliance dominated by China. The same goes for countries allied with Spain. This way, the countries are gray (eliminating any confusion). The symbols showed up smaller than I thought they were but they are clearly there if you zoom in.<br/><br/>*If India's player is gone, then it should be gray. I left it colored in case its player comes back, and also because I had no idea what shade of gray to use because it's surrounded by all of the shades available.</div>"

Polish men were being conscripted en-masse by both sides of the conflict, and much of the countryside had been turned into wastelands pockmarked with craters and littered with corpses. In 1921, a large portion of the Royal Polish Army revolted against their Germany commanders in response to the continued deportation of Polish citizens to labor camps in Germany. They were quickly followed by the Polish Legions under Jozef Piludski's successor, Lechoslaw Sikorski, who collectively refused to continue to allow deportation of Polish citizens. The rebelling Polish forces experienced heavy casualties during the early days of the revolution, although the distraction they provided only served to worsen the course of the war, further drawing each side into a quagmire. Largely due to the fact that the Russian Empire had long since withdrawn to deal with Bolshevik rebels, the Polish rebels were able to focus almost entirely on Austria and Germany, and had pressured both nations into granting Polish independence as the war continued to worsen. In 1922, Poland was independent once again.<br/><br/>Despite the incredible victory that Poland had just achieved, economic troubles were close behind. In the initial years, with much of its farmland still in the process of being prepared for cultivation, the Polish government was forced to turn to trade in order to survive. Many surplus weapons were sold off to various bidders in return for food, and ports such as Gdansk were rapidly remade into the trading capitals they had been centuries ago in an effort to provide the country with a much-needed lifeline. Initially, casualties due to famine and disease were high, although a renewed focus on international trade and domestic industry allowed Poland to eventually recover and reach a state of economic growth. Perhaps most importantly, though,<br/><br/>The Polish government and its people clung to their newfound freedom, and took drastic steps to ensure that their position remained secure, especially beginning in the 1970s. Austria, unable to exert sufficient force against Poland, lost the territory to the Republic of Poland, which soon afterwards adopted the name of ""the Slavic Union"", in an effort to appear more welcoming to the citizens of the Czech Republic. Their efforts, though, were not entirely successful, and civil unrest remained common for several years. The Czech people, after all, had just broken free of the Austrian Empire and were rightly afraid that Poland would control them in much the same way. In the way of encouraging the Czech Republic to transition smoothly into Polish government, the Polish Armed Forces engaged in several months of relief operations in the Czech Republic, providing medical care and assistance in construction to foster trust. In addition, the Czech Republic was transitioned into the political system of the Republic of Poland, and, for the most part, was given the same political rights as Poland itself - eventually reaching the same status within a few years. Later, a similar process would occur in the Ukraine.<br/><br/>Only five years later, though, eastern Europe would be embroiled in conflict once again. Poland's relations with the Ukraine, at the time, were largely neutral, but still quite strained, largely due to Poland's evident attempts to increase its base of power. But a few weeks into the Hungarian invasion, the Polish military had mobilized, and, after an agreement had been reached with the Ukrainian government, crossed the border into the Ukraine. Despite initial successes, the Polish military encountered several obstacles along the way. In particular, Ukrainian civilians often attempted to slow<br/><br/>the progress of Polish troops in rural areas, due to the fact that modern communication in the area was extremely sparse and many rural communities still held animosity towards Poland. In particular, though, the fact that large portions of the Polish military hadn't seen combat in several years resulted in heavy losses against the Hungarian forces in the first few battles of the war, though they were largely successful.<br/><br/>Polish Forces, despite initially heavy losses, were able to force the Hungarian forces out of the Ukraine in short order, gaining both valuable military experience (which, for the most part, they lacked) and a third member of the Slavic Union in the process. Despite the actions they had taken to discourage anti-Union sentiment, protests were still relatively common even at the end of the 1970s, although riots and terrorist attacks had mostly subsided by that point (though not completely). For the most part, the populations of the Ukraine and the Czech Republic support a strong military and economic coalition, while still wishing for political independence.<br/><br/>One year later, in 1976, the Polish government deployed forces in Moscow as part of a peacekeeping operation. Violence in Moscow was reaching an incredible high, and came to threaten the stability of Eastern Europe as a whole -- especially the weakened, recently invaded Ukraine. Thankfully, Polish forces were able to quell the ongoing violence, and, soon afterwards, occupied Moscow and the surrounding area. President Anatol was quick to pull forces out of the region and replace them with mercenaries, a move that was widely opposed by his political enemies. Now composed of three nations, though, the government of the Slavic Union was quick to pour funding into military research and logistics in order to relieve its already badly stretched forces. In addition to political freedoms, the Polish government made frequent use of propaganda to foster friendly sentiment.<br/><br/>Despite the generally unified state that Poland is in, there are several notable people with political stances largely contrary to that of the current government. This is especially true in the military and the arms industry, where a more aggressive Poland is encouraged. Perhaps most notably, Mateusz Wyrzyk, CEO of Poznan Engineering Works (Poznań Zakłady Inżynieryjne), has frequently pushed for a more aggressive and independent stance to be adopted by the Polish government. PZI was and remains one of the largest manufacturing corporations in Poland, in both military and civilian sectors. Despite what the name may imply, the company also oftentimes funds research into various technologies, and maintains strong relations with major Polish universities like the Warsaw University of Technology, Jagiellonian University, and the University of Wroclaw.</div></div></div>"

If a Polish arms industry is making a lot of money, it would make sense for them to fund schools to ensure they have employees. The governments might partly subsidize, or or give legislative preference too the business of these colleges, but they don't necessarily have to be the primary financiers.<br/><br/>You just have to look outside the box. The real world isn't a video game, so these things are much more complicated. The Government doesn't drag a research funding bar up or choose what tech they are going to grind. Rather, they go out of their way to clear obstacles in the way of what they want to develop. And this will be partially egged on by the fact that successful politicians will be the ones being funded by the arms industry.<br/><br/>To simplify, The Arms Industry makes shit loads of money from selling arms, they use that money to buy off politicians and pay for the infrastructure and schools they need to make that arms industry more successful, and the politicians they pay off earn that money by pushing through whatever benefits the arms industry. <br/><br/>...which happens to mean the conflict in Russia and Polish involvement in it, since war sells guns and selling guns is what the arms industry is all about.

When he discovered that Spain was invading Africa, he decided to send special agents to Spain to do some secret plans. Those agents ziplined bravely across the atlantic and shot up Valencia and took the secret plans to making more aircraft carriers. <br/><br/>A civil war is now happening! America has sent their army and they are evenly matched with those Kansans that live within the same zipcode as Gage Park. There are trenched and tanks, and the war is being fought all over the place too.<br/><br/>When Jim read wikipedia and decided that Anarcho-Capitalism is better than Technocracy, he made his entire Kansas Around Gage Park In Topeka an anarcho-capitalist nation instead of technocracy, and his people agree. He still gets those researches, though. But he also gets a lot of freedom now too.<br/><br/>The neighborhoods around Gage Park in Topeka are now economic center of the world. Their exports are oil, steel, special forces, and nuclear submarines.<br/></div>"

Though I have been planning on joing as my native Portugal, I'll need to get some things sorted out before I create an app. First I need know if it would be ok if I have Diturda Nacional form. It historically formed in 1926 after overthrowing the unstable 1 Republic and led to the formation of the Estado Novo. If it forms, Antonio Oliveira Salazar will inevitably become Minister of Finance. From there he would likely form the Estado Novo, but there would be one thing missing that would prevent it from forming. Influence from Mussolini. Salazar was inspired by Mussolini. Without Mussolini, there would be no inspiration for the Estado Novo. <br/><br/>But if it's ok, I would like to throw the Estado Novo in. The economic collapse of the United Kingdom would have a negative effect on Portugal, how severe I don't know yet. Now it may look like I'm pulling this out of the history book but if Salazar is in charge, the Portuguese Colonial War will happen. Salazar neglected the colonies. A communist rebellion would surely happen and without a doubt, it would be influence by China. <br/><br/>Now I'm going to need to know what happened to Portugal's Colonies/Overseas Provinces. <br/><br/>Angola appears to have been passed off has a German colony and later gaining it's independence. Same with Mozambique. I don't know about Portuguese Timor, Portuguese Guinea, Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Principe and Portuguese India (Goa, Diu, Daman, Dadra and Nagar Havelhi.) <br/><br/>I also don't know how China got ahold of Macao. Maybe I have read enough of the lore. However I would like to know China would deal with Macao's casinos.<br/></div>"

Including Hitler, but Hitler died like a scrub in the trenches. To be honest, I don't exactly know what happened to him. I just think he never managed to round up as much support as he did in the 1920s as he did in the real world. So he had a small radical political party at most, that never did March on Rome. (That would also make Italy probably the only nation with a Fascist party, just very small.)<br/><br/>So the influence could still be there unless we also go with the idea where that bald nerd got shot in the trenches up in the Alps.<br/><br/>On the topic of Portugal's pretty hefty colonial empire, I don't know that much about the lore yet to give an answer there.</div>"

Though I have been planning on joing as my native Portugal, I'll need to get some things sorted out before I create an app. First I need know if it would be ok if I have Diturda Nacional form. It historically formed in 1926 after overthrowing the unstable 1 Republic and led to the formation of the Estado Novo. If it forms, Antonio Oliveira Salazar will inevitably become Minister of Finance. From there he would likely form the Estado Novo, but there would be one thing missing that would prevent it from forming. Influence from Mussolini. Salazar was inspired by Mussolini. Without Mussolini, there would be no inspiration for the Estado Novo. <br/><br/>But if it's ok, I would like to throw the Estado Novo in. The economic collapse of the United Kingdom would have a negative effect on Portugal, how severe I don't know yet. Now it may look like I'm pulling this out of the history book but if Salazar is in charge, the Portuguese Colonial War will happen. Salazar neglected the colonies. A communist rebellion would surely happen and without a doubt, it would be influence by China. <br/><br/>Now I'm going to need to know what happened to Portugal's Colonies/Overseas Provinces. <br/><br/>Angola appears to have been passed off has a German colony and later gaining it's independence. Same with Mozambique. I don't know about Portuguese Timor, Portuguese Guinea, Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Principe and Portuguese India (Goa, Diu, Daman, Dadra and Nagar Havelhi.) <br/><br/>I also don't know how China got ahold of Macao. Maybe I have read enough of the lore. However I would like to know China would deal with Macao's casinos.<footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/lider"">@Lider</a></footer></blockquote><br/><br/>Portugese colonies probably got lost in the chaos of the long-ass Great War. It's pretty much the biggest one-size-fits-all lampshade for this scenario.<br/><br/>As per Macau, that exchanged hands when the Japanese stomped it out when they invaded the Chinese mainland. Like Hong Kong that left British control during the Sino-Japanese war and then got trapped and lost in the exchanges thereafter. It would have bounced back to Kuomintang control and inevitably got wrapped up in the uprising in Hong Kong, lead by Hou and his and many of his follower's eventual escape west. After which Hong Kong and Macau were rolled in unceremoniously into China and the casinos shut down as per anti-gambling law, though I have elements of which operating underground still.<br/><br/>So that's how I got Macau and how Portugal lost it.<br/><br/>And what you do with Portugal's it's got to still end up a member of the Iberian League and a signatory of its Ibiza Treaty. Some ten years ago Spain pulled off a successful false-flag operation in Lisbon to spook the Portugese into fearing Communism as much as Spain hated it to get them to sign. Gorgenmast can get you the details, but he's between apartments at the moment so may be a while.<br/><br/>But in brief: what happens on the home front it has to have Portugal aligning itself to Spain and its international politics by the 1970's.</div>"

Since Portugese colonial troops had their own front against the German colonies and thus would've been reinforced and helped by mainland Portugal during the war. Which would've made later uprisings for independence pretty difficult since there would've been a lot of not only colonial troops, but Portuguese Army and Naval forces too.<br/><br/>Their Indonesian colonies were most likely taken over by the Empire of Japan though, no doubt there.</div>"

It's kind of gotten to the point for us old fags that we pretty much gave up trying and are working with it, though a few helpful things happened in mainland Europe to make it more believable. As Vilage has said, our Great War compliments the over all absurdity of the Precipice brand, where Spain can be the US, and China can become a thing in ten-fifteen years, where Ethiopians who never heard of 'food' can dominate the entire center of the African continent, and where the Germans decide to elect in referendum a construction worker to be the Kaiser because he's related to House Hohenstaufen.<br/><br/>But there's a lot of empty space in the lore concerning the Great War that from a story standpoint there's a lot that could have gone on. I think on and off we've tried to do something to explore that period, but we never got around to it.</div>"

Sometime in 1971 I think the post-colonial government of India decided to up and explode one day plunging the country into a state similar to Russia. Regionalization ensued with each having their own psuedo war-lord government and local military on hand. Any one could have potentially overwhelmed French and Portugese India before Persian and Chinese interests moved in on the nation.<br/><br/>And then both got bored and sort of decided to make something of the former nation, rebuilding it as the Indian Federation and left.<br/><br/>Timor could have been swallowed up by the Japanese war machine in the thirties-fifties.<br/><br/>For everything else, I'm not sure. Somehow in the period between 'then' and now something had to have happened. But for the tiny islands, I haven't touched the map in a long time and that's been relegated to the guy who brought the new one in (Mihndar) and Chapatrap.</div>"

Sao Tome e Principe hasn't been touched since the start of the RP... so you can have that too I suppose.

Googer has sort of headed that show, since Hugs refuses to post, and he only has so much time. Why exactly we never had a nationalist re-surge like we did in real life is sort of left in the dust.<br/><br/>I think the unspoken assumption for why a lot of these colonies are unaccounted for is because, after the economic collapse that came with the last portion of the Great War, the European powers simply couldn't afford to pay attention to their possessions. Of course, this doesn't exactly explain how Belgium, the country stuck square in the middle of the western front, managed not only to hold onto the Congo but somehow expanded their African borders after the war and ruled most of central Africa until 1970 (remember, the only posessions I ever took in the RP is the Belgian Congo, Egyptian Sudan, and Hejaz. The majority of the Ethiopian Empire is just old Belgian possessions). So yeh.

Their insane leader, President Jaret Arnold, has stayed in power through corruption and threats. In 1970, funding was wasted on a failed Arctic-Energy project, and Canada attacked their ally, The U.S.A., unprovoked. In this war they reclaimed Alaska, but at the cost of the political allies and the trust of their Southern neighbors. In an act of foolishness, President Arnold permitted a group of wealthy capitalists to secede from Canada, forming the North Western Coalition. <br/>	To instigate another war, Canada had sent arms support to the newly-forming New England Republic. Under the excuse that they were defending a new-found ally, the Second American War had been started, and in due time it would lead to tragedy. After the internal politics of the NWC had reached a critical point, one of the ruling CEOs had decided to launch a new, deadly weapon at a major city. On August 5th, 1976 the VX Gas Bomb was deployed on the civilian city of Seattle, Washington. The majority of the populace was wiped out, spurring the U.S. to overtake what used to be Canadian territory, crushing the NWC.<br/>	In 1977, Rudolph Valentine, 29, was an high-ranking officer with Canadian Intelligence. Seeing the madness wrought by the current regime, he couldn't continue following the orders of a psychopath like Jaret Arnold. Knowing the methods used by Arnold to stay in power, and his own training with Canadian Intelligence, he ran off with sensitive information formed a cell-based rebel organization, dubbed The Voices for a Free Canada. With their primary goals being the informing of the general populace of the corruption of the government, the removal of Jaret Arnold from power, and, with the backing of Canada's citizens, the formation of a new, more effective government, the VFC performs operations to spread the truth of Canada's madness and awaken its people to the truth; their country is mad, and they have to fix it by their own hands.<br/>	The year is now 1980. The VFC has established cells in all of Canada's major cities, and has operatives infiltrated into various sectors of Canadian military, government, and intelligence. They are closer than ever to achieving their goal of a new government. With the populace growing ever more sympathetic with their goals. Change is coming to Canada, whether Jaret Arnold wants to admit it or not.</div>"

It's still very much in the developmental stage, but I figured I would share it in order to get your feedback as I work on it more. Consider this the rough, rough rough draft.<br/><br/>I figured the route I went down was more suitable. It still satiates the people's need for nationalism, while keeping the government officials heads on their shoulders, knowing full well a war with China will be impossible anytime soon (on their own, at least.) <br/><br/>So, without further ado, Japanese history version 1.6.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Modern History:</span><br/>As China threw itself into chaos, the Japanese war machine stirred to life. Moving in from their Korean territory, and with massive support from their families back home, Japanese soldiers made quick work of the warlords of Northern China. Through many individual incursions fired in quick succession, all of Manchuria was eventually added to Japan's collection of mainland holdings. After a brief wait, Japan began it's move South, taking Beijing in another series of short-lived battles against unorganized and unprepared Chinese soldiers and civilians. With the North firmly under Japanese control, Hirohito granted the title of Emperor of Munchukoko to Puyi, a claimant to the Qing throne. <br/><br/>With continued support back home, and nothing standing in their way, Japan continued it's incursion along the Chinese coast, taking everything from Tianjin to Nanjing before finally slowing to a halt. Despite the desire of both the Emperor and his people for a continued conquest, resources were running low, and it was deemed best to firm Japanese grip on the territories they held rather than continue their push with no guarantee of being able to sustain themselves. <br/><br/>All while these incursions into China were going on, Unit 731 operated in the background, performing inhumane experiments on an unknown number of individuals from of the conquered territories of the Japanese Empire for many years.  The secrets of Unit 731, as well as the existence of the unit itself, was kept a total secret from civilians, and even all but the highest ranking military officials. Even those tasked with defending the compound which Unit 731 worked out of knew little of what all was going on inside. <br/><br/>Within Japan itself, peace found a home, while many true Japanese citizens enjoyed comfortable lives, completely unaffected by their war to the West. Even parents felt their children were safe with how easy many of the battles in China were. <br/><br/>However, as always, peace was not allowed to last. <br/><br/>Having been able to hold their footing for so long, it was generally thought that China had just given up their will to fight against Japan, and many Japanese soldiers even joked about the idea of China fighting back. Support for and confidence in Japanese troops was through the roof, and the idea of further occupation of China was once again a discussion. What the Empire and those that made the decisions back at home didn't know, though, was that the ministers that had been appointed to the Chinese coastal holdings were not actually gathering any intelligence in China, and instead were simply stating out of confidence and arrogance that Japanese troops could handle whatever China had to offer. <br/><br/>So when the Chinese finally struck back against Japan, nobody was prepared, and many Japanese soldiers lost their lives, while the rest were forced to retreat again and again until Japan was finally forces completely out of the Chinese coast. Following the defeat and exposure of unit 731, as well as the destruction of the Japanese Naval Base in Dalain, Japan was forced to abandon Puyi to his own people, resulting once more in the destruction of a Qing Empire. Holding firm in Korea, and ensuring the safety of Taiwan, the Japanese government threw all plans for China out the window, and focused solely on defending against a possible Chinese retaliation, as well as against small rebel groups that formed in the wake of the humiliating loss of nearly all Chinese territory. <br/><br/>At this point, morale in Japan sunk to an all time low. The people were angry at the government for allowing their family members to die so easily, the government was angry at the military for failing to withstand the Chinese, and the military was angry with the civilians for not being able to support them better, and the refusal of most male citizens to enlist. Meanwhile, group after group of rebels were appearing in Indonesia, Korea, New Guinea and Taiwan following the release of the information on Unit 731, and what they were doing to the civilians of said territories. <br/><br/>For years, Japan was reduced to infighting, unable to really support, yet alone begin, rebuilding it's military. Between nationalist rebels in Indonesia and Papua New Gunea, civilian mobs in Taiwan and Communist rebels in Korea, the Japanese military shrunk and shrunk until it seemed like the Empire would collapse from the inside. However, with the installation of a new general in the Southern Islands, the rebels were able to be outmaneuvered, and eventually crushed. <br/><br/>Directly following the restoration of order to the South, however, was the Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Severely out manned, Japan barely put up a fight before evacuating what troops it could from Taiwan. Meanwhile in Korea, the Chinese-backed Communist rebels were able to take the Northern portion of the country under their control, and would hold it without problem until Hirohito agreed to the Tokyo Treaty which, along with the return of Taiwan to China, saw an independent North Korean state established. <br/><br/>The year following, Japan returned to isolation. With all of it's rebellions over, and peace with China in the foreseeable future, Japan was able to finally lick it's wounds, and begin it's path to recovery. <br/><br/>The first thing that was rebuilt, before any infrastructure, buildings or foreign ties, was civilian trust in their government. For a while, it seemed like the people would just need one small thing to anger them before the nation would see it's emperor casted out like a traitor. Even the Shinto priests, to whom the emperor was the descendant of the gods they worshiped, looked at Hirohito as if he were an imposter. <br/><br/>So, since war was far out of the question, Hirohito proved to the Japanese his strength, resolve and determination to the true Japanese people the only way possible. <br/><br/>In the Southern islands, military presence was nearly tripled, especially around the major cities. Non-Japanese citizens were treated with extreme harshness when it came to any form of crime. Eventually, internment camps were formed, where people would be sent to simple for being in the presence of somebody who had committed a crime. At the same time, the move of Japanese citizens to the southern islands was encouraged by the government, in an attempt to erase the cultures of the original inhabitants, solidifying the islands as properly Japanese. <br/><br/>As time went on, more and more Japanese citizens emigrated to the Southern islands, while the government continued to imprison, and eventually kill, the native islanders. Shinto and Buddhist temples were built in place of Sunni establishments, which were quickly made illegal. Young children were abducted, and put into boarding school systems, where they were forced to learn the Japanese language, taught about Japanese culture and history, and made to abandon any former beliefs they had. Parents who resisted their children being taken would have their homes broken into in the middle of the night, where they would be killed as their children were taken away. The home would then be burnt down, in an attempt to erase any evidence. Rumours quickly spread, and parents began to allow their children to be taken to the schools, fearing for their own lives. Of course, not all gave up so easily. <br/><br/>In 1973, the people began to fight back. At first it was just a few individuals across various locations lashing out against the Japanese government, but the acts of these martyrs sparked something in the people of the islands. More and more people began to fight back, attacking Japanese soldiers and citizens. The frequency of these attacks steadily increased over the next year, until an organize rebel group formed in central Indonesia in the summer of 1974. In a series of fast attacks, the rebels were able to take the southern half of Sulawesi, which had the lowest population of Japanese out of any of the Southern islands. Based in Makassar, the rebels tried to spread their forces out to the other islands, but were stopped by the stronger Japanese navy every time. Forced to focus their efforts solely on taking the rest of the island, the rebels pushed North with all their might, only to find a large Japanese force that had managed to build up far North. Unable to escape the island, and unable to defeat the Japanese military, the rebels were slaughtered, and brought with them nearly all locals living in the cities and town of the island of Sulawesi. As if to punish the innocent for allowing the rebels to form, the Japanese military systematically killed any non-Japanese citizen on the island for the next four years. <br/><br/>With their spirits broken, and fear filling their hearts and minds, the people inhabiting the southern islands began to comply with all demands made of them. When they were arrested and sent to the internment camps, they rarely resisted. All will to fight the Japanese had been lost, or at least, had become a very small flame. Not willing to risk another massacre like that of Sulawesi, the people had submitted fully. If there were any signs of another rebel group popping up, it was frequently their own neighbors that would forefront the destruction of the group, rather than the Japanese. <br/><br/>Meanwhile in Japan proper, faith in Hirohito had been restored. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, the emperor had ordered the systematic extinction of the cultures of the southern islanders over the last couple decades. Whether they were killed or adopted the Japanese culture, the population in the south had, for all intents and purposes, become a quarter Japanese by this point; half Japanese if you only count free citizens.<br/><br/>At this point, many Japanese citizens clamored for war with China, despite the fact the communist state could easily destroy the Japanese army, even without their allies joining in. Knowing this fully well, Hirohito refused, stating that if the citizens of Japan wished to seek vengeance on China, they would first have to ensure that the Japanese Empire had become fully Japanese. This was followed with a brazen lie that the reason Japan had lost to China in the first place was because of Indonesians, Malaysians, Koreans and other native islanders in the army kept the information about China organizing a secret, and that, when the day China invaded came, they were the first to run, leaving their Japanese counterparts to die like dogs. <br/><br/>Obviously upset at this new information, more so than ever, the want to deculturize all the non-Japanese parts of the Empire had grown. With the South firmly under their complete control, Hirohito turned his eyes to Korea. For years, there had been a fear that the South would rebel, in order to unite with their brothers to the North. However, Hirohito had refused to allow the same things taking place in the Southern islands to happen in Korea, out of fear that, while the islanders only had each other to rely on, a rebellion in response to deculturation and genocide in Korea could draw the attention of the communist Korean state and, by extension, the Chinese, giving them a reason to declare war on Japan. <br/><br/>For this reason, Hirohito has explicitly disallowed and military buildup in Korea, and has ordered the Koreans to be treated as equals to the Japanese, much to the displeasure of nationalist Japanese soldiers stationed in Korea. It has also allowed a rebel group to organize in the Korean state, with similar organization to that of a mafia. Under the guise of organized crime, the group managed to build itself up form nothing in only a few short years, becoming, unbeknownst to the Japanese, a very terrifying and threatening adversary that, when ready to strike, will leave catastrophic waves in it's wake. <br/><br/>Now, Japan stands alone in the world. Unwilling to side with Westerners for fears of being dragged into their affairs, the Japanese stand united under the aging Hirohito, putting their faith fully in him and the military. While not able to withstand an attack from the Chinese or any of it's allies, Japan has begun to eye the previous British colonial states to it's South, considering the value and risk of invasion in the future. <br/><br/>The people believe their government, military, and emperor are unstoppable. Hirohito's lie will only last so long before the people clamor for Japanese glory through conquest once more. No matter what he does, Hirohito knows that this is a fact, and that, eventually, he will have to declare war, unless he wishes for the people to take it upon themselves to bring glory to the Empire. <br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>I thought it would make sense to avoid trying to culturize Korea into becoming more Japanese out of fears the North would retalliate, dragging China along with it. I also figured that it would work well in the Southern Islands, since they have no ties to the communist bloc, or anyone else, for that matter. It also solves the need the Japanese people would have felt to conquer, win, etc following their dishonorable loss, without dooming the nation to a suicidal war. <br/><br/>I figure the numbers will need tuning (like the 1/4 of the population becoming Japanese. What was I on to think that was reasonable in a couple decades? lol), but that's why I'm sharing it with you all. I think this will work much better if we fine tune Japan together, rather than me alone, asking for approval when I finish it. <br/><br/>Don't tear me into too many pieces. (•ิ_•ิ)<br/><br/>And now, I pass out for maybe the next 24-48 hours. I'm so sleep deprived, not even coffee can save my ass at this point.</div>"

Holding firm in Korea, and ensuring the safety of Taiwan, the Japanese government threw all plans for China out the window, and focused solely on defending against a possible Chinese retaliation, as well as against small rebel groups that formed in the wake of the humiliating loss of nearly all Chinese territory. <br/><br/>At this point, morale in Japan sunk to an all time low. The people were angry at the government for allowing their family members to die so easily, the government was angry at the military for failing to withstand the Chinese, and the military was angry with the civilians for not being able to support them better, and the refusal of most male citizens to enlist. Meanwhile, group after group of rebels were appearing in Indonesia, Korea, New Guinea and Taiwan following the release of the information on Unit 731, and what they were doing to the civilians of said territories. <br/><br/>For years, Japan was reduced to infighting, unable to really support, yet alone begin, rebuilding it's military. Between nationalist rebels in Indonesia and Papua New Gunea, civilian mobs in Taiwan and Communist rebels in Korea, the Japanese military shrunk and shrunk until it seemed like the Empire would collapse from the inside. However, with the installation of a new general in the Southern Islands, the rebels were able to be outmaneuvered, and eventually crushed. <br/><br/>Directly following the restoration of order to the South, however, was the Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Severely out manned, Japan barely put up a fight before evacuating what troops it could from Taiwan. Meanwhile in Korea, the Chinese-backed Communist rebels were able to take the Northern portion of the country under their control, and would hold it without problem until Hirohito agreed to the Tokyo Treaty which, along with the return of Taiwan to China, saw an independent North Korean state established. <br/><br/>The year following, Japan returned to isolation. With all of it's rebellions over, and peace with China in the foreseeable future, Japan was able to finally lick it's wounds, and begin it's path to recovery. <br/><br/>The first thing that was rebuilt, before any infrastructure, buildings or foreign ties, was civilian trust in their government. For a while, it seemed like the people would just need one small thing to anger them before the nation would see it's emperor casted out like a traitor. Even the Shinto priests, to whom the emperor was the descendant of the gods they worshiped, looked at Hirohito as if he were an imposter. <br/><br/>So, since war was far out of the question, Hirohito proved to the Japanese his strength, resolve and determination to the true Japanese people the only way possible. <br/><br/>In the Southern islands, military presence was nearly tripled, especially around the major cities. Non-Japanese citizens were treated with extreme harshness when it came to any form of crime. Eventually, internment camps were formed, where people would be sent to simple for being in the presence of somebody who had committed a crime. At the same time, the move of Japanese citizens to the southern islands was encouraged by the government, in an attempt to erase the cultures of the original inhabitants, solidifying the islands as properly Japanese. <br/><br/>As time went on, more and more Japanese citizens emigrated to the Southern islands, while the government continued to imprison, and eventually kill, the native islanders. Shinto and Buddhist temples were built in place of Sunni establishments, which were quickly made illegal. Young children were abducted, and put into boarding school systems, where they were forced to learn the Japanese language, taught about Japanese culture and history, and made to abandon any former beliefs they had. Parents who resisted their children being taken would have their homes broken into in the middle of the night, where they would be killed as their children were taken away. The home would then be burnt down, in an attempt to erase any evidence. Rumours quickly spread, and parents began to allow their children to be taken to the schools, fearing for their own lives. Of course, not all gave up so easily. <br/><br/>In 1973, the people began to fight back. At first it was just a few individuals across various locations lashing out against the Japanese government, but the acts of these martyrs sparked something in the people of the islands. More and more people began to fight back, attacking Japanese soldiers and citizens. The frequency of these attacks steadily increased over the next year, until an organize rebel group formed in central Indonesia in the summer of 1974. In a series of fast attacks, the rebels were able to take the southern half of Sulawesi, which had the lowest population of Japanese out of any of the Southern islands. Based in Makassar, the rebels tried to spread their forces out to the other islands, but were stopped by the stronger Japanese navy every time. Forced to focus their efforts solely on taking the rest of the island, the rebels pushed North with all their might, only to find a large Japanese force that had managed to build up far North. Unable to escape the island, and unable to defeat the Japanese military, the rebels were slaughtered, and brought with them nearly all locals living in the cities and town of the island of Sulawesi. As if to punish the innocent for allowing the rebels to form, the Japanese military systematically killed any non-Japanese citizen on the island for the next four years. <br/><br/>With their spirits broken, and fear filling their hearts and minds, the people inhabiting the southern islands began to comply with all demands made of them. When they were arrested and sent to the internment camps, they rarely resisted. All will to fight the Japanese had been lost, or at least, had become a very small flame. Not willing to risk another massacre like that of Sulawesi, the people had submitted fully. If there were any signs of another rebel group popping up, it was frequently their own neighbors that would forefront the destruction of the group, rather than the Japanese. <br/><br/>Meanwhile in Japan proper, faith in Hirohito had been restored. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, the emperor had ordered the systematic extinction of the cultures of the southern islanders over the last couple decades. Whether they were killed or adopted the Japanese culture, the population in the south had, for all intents and purposes, become a quarter Japanese by this point; half Japanese if you only count free citizens.<br/><br/>At this point, many Japanese citizens clamored for war with China, despite the fact the communist state could easily destroy the Japanese army, even without their allies joining in. Knowing this fully well, Hirohito refused, stating that if the citizens of Japan wished to seek vengeance on China, they would first have to ensure that the Japanese Empire had become fully Japanese. This was followed with a brazen lie that the reason Japan had lost to China in the first place was because of Indonesians, Malaysians, Koreans and other native islanders in the army kept the information about China organizing a secret, and that, when the day China invaded came, they were the first to run, leaving their Japanese counterparts to die like dogs. <br/><br/>Obviously upset at this new information, more so than ever, the want to deculturize all the non-Japanese parts of the Empire had grown. With the South firmly under their complete control, Hirohito turned his eyes to Korea. For years, there had been a fear that the South would rebel, in order to unite with their brothers to the North. However, Hirohito had refused to allow the same things taking place in the Southern islands to happen in Korea, out of fear that, while the islanders only had each other to rely on, a rebellion in response to deculturation and genocide in Korea could draw the attention of the communist Korean state and, by extension, the Chinese, giving them a reason to declare war on Japan. <br/><br/>For this reason, Hirohito has explicitly disallowed and military buildup in Korea, and has ordered the Koreans to be treated as equals to the Japanese, much to the displeasure of nationalist Japanese soldiers stationed in Korea. It has also allowed a rebel group to organize in the Korean state, with similar organization to that of a mafia. Under the guise of organized crime, the group managed to build itself up form nothing in only a few short years, becoming, unbeknownst to the Japanese, a very terrifying and threatening adversary that, when ready to strike, will leave catastrophic waves in it's wake. <br/><br/>Now, Japan stands alone in the world. Unwilling to side with Westerners for fears of being dragged into their affairs, the Japanese stand united under the aging Hirohito, putting their faith fully in him and the military. While not able to withstand an attack from the Chinese or any of it's allies, Japan has begun to eye the previous British colonial states to it's South, considering the value and risk of invasion in the future. <br/><br/>The people believe their government, military, and emperor are unstoppable. Hirohito's lie will only last so long before the people clamor for Japanese glory through conquest once more. No matter what he does, Hirohito knows that this is a fact, and that, eventually, he will have to declare war, unless he wishes for the people to take it upon themselves to bring glory to the Empire. <br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>I thought it would make sense to avoid trying to culturize Korea into becoming more Japanese out of fears the North would retalliate, dragging China along with it. I also figured that it would work well in the Southern Islands, since they have no ties to the communist bloc, or anyone else, for that matter. It also solves the need the Japanese people would have felt to conquer, win, etc following their dishonorable loss, without dooming the nation to a suicidal war. <br/><br/>I figure the numbers will need tuning (like the 1/4 of the population becoming Japanese. What was I on to think that was reasonable in a couple decades? lol), but that's why I'm sharing it with you all. I think this will work much better if we fine tune Japan together, rather than me alone, asking for approval when I finish it. <br/><br/>Don't tear me into too many pieces. (•ิ_•ิ)<br/><br/>And now, I pass out for maybe the next 24-48 hours. I'm so sleep deprived, not even coffee can save my ass at this point.<footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/shiro"">@Shiro</a></footer></blockquote><br/><br/>Since I realized this had happened: it looks good so far. For emphasis I might mention they took Hong Kong and Macau too. Likewise, I have some personal concern that the Tokyo Treaty is implied to have taken part earlier than it had. Unless I changed it, it should have been drafted, signed, and ratified in 1970/71.<br/><br/>Otherwise, solid shit.</div>"

The Chinese for sure wouldn't have sold their new jets to Ethiopia (the Herons).<br/><br/>The BA-63 is probably the only thing that hasn't changed since it had props even before the nerf. It's a bomber that is spookily similar to the B-52 because I don't know where to start on vehicles, so might as well copy existing ones.<br/><br/>Other then that, I suppose the former Ullanhu jet-plane got nerfed to a prop craft. I *think* it was supposed to be mostly anti-ground though because it was a bit heavy for air. But it could be retconned into a proper fighter because I never got back around to it.</div>"

Suez came out good, and Djibouti is coming along just as nicely.  <br/><br/>Since I work the graveyard shift and naturally stay up until six in the morning now, I have this weird gap of time at night on weekends where there really isn't much else to do, and that is when I write. I was out of town all weekend last week, so I didn't get much done, but this weekend should be more productive. <br/><br/>Aside from Djibouti, I got an Addis post in the works, but it is research intensive since I had the duel task of describing the legislative government that I've neglected since it was created by Yaqob, and describing Addis from the perspective of RP history so it has some specific landmarks to use when the battle comes. I've already got the government part done, but I still have the city and some Yaqob stuff to write before it's ready to post. Probably won't be done this weekend though...</div>"

A constitution is usually about how the government itself is to be organized and what its jurisdictions will be. Most of the US constitution is deciding what the president does, what the legislature does, and what the supreme court does. Even at its conception, the proposal to add a bill of rights was controversial. with the Federalists arguing that having the rights of the citizens listed implies that the listed rights are the only rights a citizen has, hence why the ninth amendment was tacked on.<br/><br/>Regarding Right to Property, Chapa is correct in saying that it isn't necessarily a fundamental right. If it were, imminent domain would not be possible. Other constitutions might, but I don't know much about it.

I haven't had the time to explain it IC, but the Socialist Party does not have a stranglehold on power, and has to share it with a broad coalition of leftists, liberals, etc, who fear any attempt to establish a dictatorship. So the constitution will be the product of a compromise between all these factions, with the Socialists accepting a democratic framework (for the time being, at least in their mindset), and the others letting them make it very social-oriented. <br/>And the thing is, the German constitution does guarantee property, and I could see why the liberals and farmers might want to enshrine this guarantee. Furthermore, Persia just avoided a civil war, and the conservatives are understandably always on the brink.</div>"

So there'd probably need to be something defining property as something akin to land and the ownership there-of, or even land capable of producing usable goods (defined as agriculture, mining, industry, etc. etc.) or possession of land that might otherwise generate revenue (which would be classified as its own thing so as to fully avoid confusion on if a dollar bill is the same as two-hundred acres of wheat fields or something).</div>"

My old posts, I've decided, are <span class=""bb-b"">not</span> canon anymore but I'll be re-writing from my most <a href=""https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19063-precipice-of-war-we-write-under-the-sign-of-the-goat/ic?page=9#post-2475874"" rel=""nofollow"">recent post</a> ( because Evan frequently mentioned the events going on in it) and going on from there. I've more-or-less decided where I'm going with the Guards now and maybe that'll help me post moar. Anyway, here is the updated Georgia canon:<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Faction:</span> Georgian Guard<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Leader:</span> Davit Patarava<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">History:</span><br/>The First Georgian Republic was founded in 1956, after peaceful yet lengthy talks with the Russian Empire led to their independence. Despite the early days being dominated by policies that kept their former masters happy, The First Georgian Republic had asserted it's own sovereignty by 1965, when it handed the Armenian-majority region of Javetskh to its neighbours. Armenian and Georgian relations were warm throughout the 60's, as both nations worked towards their surprisingly mutual interests. Georgia, at the time, was a relatively poor country with a weak military and an even weaker government yet she plodded through the 60's without any major instability.<br/><br/>The Ottoman invasion in the early 70's marked the end of an era for the people of Georgia as they were subjected to stern Turkish occupation for six miserable years. The Georgian and Armenian militaries were smashed by a surprisingly strong Turkish force and calls for help from Mother Russia went unanswered. Almost immediately after the country was swallowed into the empire, the remnants of the Georgian military formed a resistance to Turkish rule and began a campaign against the occupation of their land. The Georgian Resistance allied itself with several other organisations working within the old Ottoman Empire, including the ASF, Abkhazian separatists and even the Russian Mafia. The Georgian Resistance, assisted heavily by Abkhazian separatists, expelled the Ottomans from Georgia just weeks after the Armenians did in 1976. The Georgian Resistance founded the Second Republic of Georgia in 1976 and served as the Interim Government of Georgia. However, the Interim Government was dominated by military types with no experience in politics or how to correctly run a country. Despite high hopes, the Second Republic of Georgia lasted only fourteen months before disintegrating and leading Georgia into the period of anarchy that it is infamous for. Disagreements with their former Abkhazian allies, an incredibly unorganised government and economic isolation were the main factors that led to the the downfall of the Second Republic and the deaths of the war heroes that led it.<br/><br/>The lack of any central government turned Georgia into a playground for several factions and ideologies. While the world watched the final struggles of the Sick Man of Europe with mixed feelings, Georgia collapsed in on itself. Groups and individuals of all shades and motives now dominate the political field, each claiming to be the true descendant of the former Second Georgian Republic and each fighting tooth-and-nail for control. The Georgian people, no longer feeling safe in their homeland, have flocked across the borders to Armenia and Persia in their hundreds of thousands, forming large diaspora communities across the Near East.  <br/><br/>The Georgian Guard was formed in 1978 in the Ottoman client state of the Republic of Adjara, which encompasses the south-east region surrounding the city of Batumi. It's founders, a group of disgruntled war veterans led by Davit Patarava, originally created the group in the hopes of protecting the former citizens of Georgia from the increasingly-oppressive regime in Adjara. This ideal evolved as the militia ballooned in size and the leadership are now toying with the idea of open rebellion against the Turkish-backed regime. The Georgian Guard, which originally only patrolled Batumi neighbourhoods, are now the largest armed paramilitary in Adjara and this title has caught the attention of several Georgian groups with similar views. <br/><br/>The Georgian Republican Brotherhood, operating from Tblisi with the remnants of the espionage unit of former governments, have become particularly close with the Guard and are openly encouraging rebellion against the Turkish-backed Adjaran President, Polat. Another group with ties to the Guard are the Georgian Peoples Liberation Front, a Marxist group who have infiltrated trade unions across Georgia and also encourage open rebellion. <br/><br/>Despite careful reservations from Patarava on the topic of open rebellion, the idea is becoming increasingly popular in the Georgian Guard as inflation, food shortages and poverty grows in Batumi. While total war rages on in Africa between superpowers, an entirely different conflict seems to be brewing in the infamous failed state of Georgia...</div>"

We've kept the RP compartmentalized to make sure it is accessible despite its long life. What I can tell you is that the war was much more devastating than anything Europe has likely ever seen in the real world, to the point I would suspect the damaged surpassed that of the Second World War. Realistically... yeh, France should have went through some temporary collapse, and we know that it would have been weakened enough to have both lost its colonies and taken a relatively isolationist stance since... it hasn't played a major part in the RP's history.<br/><br/>What you do need to know is the condition of your neighbors. The important nations surrounding France are booked. We have an Italy in <a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/wilted-rose"">@Wilted Rose</a>, a Britain in <a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/shyri"">@Shyri</a>, a Germany in <a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/pepperm1nts"">@Pepperm1nts</a>.

With the prolonged conflict and no clear winner declared from it the economic and social effects would still be powerful and no doubt profound. You'd have a long period of economic depression, compounded by a global post-war depression from all those war industries collapsing at once. So they'd have to deal with that as well as picking themselves back up again and the scary dent in their demographics made by the war (a lot of young men would have died).<br/><br/>2) They would have given they went to war again for the same relative reasons as before. Though I don't know if it would have been enough to overthrow the government. The watchful influence of Spain as a anti-Communist bulwark would check any indication of a socialist uprising in France. So if you're going to overthrow the government for their losses over the passed half-century it wouldn't be moving towards the far-left.<br/><br/>3) most likely poor. But even though Hugs never posts we do in some war regard Germany as being one of the more capable states of Europe.<br/><br/>4) Just the shaky bullshit I posted prior.</div>"

These people aren't relying on me for anything so I wondered why and checked with someone. I found out it's basically people who don't even need me to post, bitching about me not posting because it suits them to use me as a scapegoat to justify their own laziness.<br/><br/>So I'll say it flatly like I told the person that briefed me on this:<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">I get that I'm slacking but I don't like this bullshit where people try to ride off of that to come up with their own excuses to not post, while throwing all the blame on me like a fucking scapegoat.</blockquote><br/><br/>It's real fuckin' convenient to lay all the blame on me because I haven't posted in a long time, but it's also very, very annoying, and I feel needlessly worsens people's frustrations towards me by making them believe that my not posting is having widespread effects that are holding people back from doing their own thing, which is absolutely not the case, at least with these few people that have been bitching. No one is being held back by me not posting. Is it a bit silly? I guess. Should I post? Yeah, I should. But I am not holding anyone back, and I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop fucking pretending I am just because it suits you.<br/><br/>Thanks.<br/><br/>EDIT: I have been informed that ""bitching"" may not be the best word to describe the complaints, but since this somehow reached Googer, Vilage and Aaron, I have to assume the complaining is loud enough to be upsetting. Those three are already mad enough about my inactivity without people blaming me for their own lack of posts.</div>"

And we can probably keep Hugs about without so much ""strain"" as it were.<br/><br/>But going on to <a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/the-grey-warden"">@The Grey Warden</a>'s post:<br/><br/>In-so-far the war's been this: Spain led by Alfonso Sotello is staunchly anti-Communist and they've put a lot of effort and time into keeping socialists and communists out of Europe. Their enemy-in-Africa - Ethiopia - has aligned itself with China since the assumption of Yaqob Yohannes, beginning a regime of drifting away from Europe and seeking allies in the Communist east, as opposed to the reign of the aloof - if pro-Europe because of it - elder brother: Sahle (who has now assumed a new identity and is now living underground as a jazz musician in Armenia).<br/><br/>Yaqob also received an education in China as an officer and has himself written an essay (or something) on Communism/socialist which sort of affirms his ideological stance. Spain tried to make an attempt on his life, but that failed.<br/><br/>Anyways, fast-forwarding through the background: Spain decided to invade Africa to clean out the Ethiopian regime as a long-term mission to try and isolate and dismantle the Chinese government which is seen as the source of all things revolutionary. The first ""battle"" was that at the Suez with the Spanish navy assaulting in force the meager Ethiopian garrison sent there to deal with Egyptian warlords who had been causing trouble in Ethiopian Sudan or something. The Ethiopians being undermanned and the Egyptian militias too unskilled and unarmed were not able to fight the Spanish. The Ethiopians tried to slow down or block the Spanish advancement by lodging the canal up with so much debris the Spanish effort would effectively be frozen in its tracks.<br/><br/>To the Spanish, who wanted a quick jab at Addis Ababa couldn't have this, and they broke through anyways. If the Ethiopians had been successful, then Spain would have to sail around the long-way to get their assets in position.<br/><br/>Following the battle of the Suez was the Battle of Mandeb which saw the total annihilation of the Ethiopian navy at the hands of the Spanish air force. After this is the now current Battle of Djibouti, which you can see what's going on by reading Gorgenmast and VilageidiotX's collab post. But in short: Ethiopia sets fire to Djibouti to trap the Spanish landing party and give them nothing to attack since the city is an inferno and they shelled them at the beach for part of the night. The Battle of Djibouti also marks the first engagement in which the Ethiopians had to deal with a jet, which was brought down by the swarming Ethiopian air force.<br/><br/>Something that probably isn't known to anyone besides Ethiopia, Spain, and China is that near the island of Socotra the Spanish and Chinese had a brief skirmish, making the first moment in which jet airplanes ever fought one another. This was to intercept a Spanish airplane deployed to shoot down the airplane carrying the Empress Azima, her son, her nephew, and the queen-mother out of the country for refuge in China. The Chinese got their late, but couldn't confirm if the Empress' plane had been shot down as much as the Spanish plane couldn't confirm. But the Spanish pilot was fatally wounded and died on his return to the Spanish armada and the Chinese jets had to make an emergency landing in Addis Ababa for refueling. One of the three sent was however forced to depart the battle early and crash-landed in Somalia - but that pilot is back and on his way to Addis.<br/><br/>So in so far: that's the skinny. The other factor to know behind the scenes is the possession of what's basically this RP's super-weapon by Spain: VX nerve gas. France I'm not aware would know the Spanish possess it and only a few international parties are aware. China and Ethiopia being the relevant ones in this conflict.<br/><br/>And Chinese involvement in this war isn't official yet.</div>"

It was getting worse that the women and the elderly had to work for poor wages as the casualties were high. People were disliking the government every week as they tried to make the country stable before the war. But, the Great War changed people as they never saw a war going on for years and with the high amount of casualties never seen before in any war. <br/><br/>When the announcement that the arts programs in schools were getting cut, a group of prominent poets and musicians<br/>took over the administration building at Nanterre University. They held a meeting about class discrimination in French society and the political bureaucracy that controlled the university's funding. The university's administration soon called the police and demanded that the students get out of the building. As soon as the meeting ended, the students left the building without any trouble. This caused students to distrust the police and the administration at the university. After months of conflicts between students and authorities, the university was finally closed.<br/><br/>After hearing about the closing of Nanterre, students at the Sorbonne University met to protest against the closure. With the help for The Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF), the number of protesters grew to 20,000 as the police arrived. The high school student unions, then joined the protesters at the famous Arc de Triomphe to demand three things happen after the protest: <br/> <br/>1) All criminal charges against arrested students, teachers, and supporters be dropped,<br/>2) The police leave the universities,<br/>3) And the authorities reopen them.<br/> <br/>Government officials didn't like the list that much; but, a 'leak report' that the government reopened the universities surfaced. The students ended the protesting and returned to their schools. But, students at the universities were shocked that police were still there. When students tried to enter the universities, they were sent back by police forces and some were even arrested. They now had a near revolutionary fervor. <br/><br/>After the false reports surfaced, a massive protest was held at Rive Gauche. When the police again blocked them from crossing the river, the crowd threw up barricades and said that they weren't leaving the bridge. After hours of negotiations, the police attacked the crowd at 2:15 in the morning. The confrontation, which produced hundreds of arrests and injuries, lasted until dawn of the following day. The events were broadcast on radio as they occurred and the aftermath was shown on television the following day. Many people were upset at the police force for treating the people harshly.<br/><br/>The government's heavy-handed reaction brought on a wave of sympathy for the strikers as mainstream singers and poets joined after the heavy-handed police brutality came to light. Artists all over the word also began voicing support of the strikers. The major left union federations, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and the Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), called a one-day general strike and demonstration. Then, over a million people marched through Paris on that day; the police stayed largely out of sight. The Prime Minister personally announced the release of the prisoners and the reopening of the university.<br/><br/>After the university reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous ""people's university"". Public opinion supported the students' actions at the university. The police couldn't do anything without upsetting the people more, so the police was put on hold until they could retake the university.<br/><br/>While the students were protesting, the factory workers were tired of not getting enough money for their work. A group of them decided to do a sit-down strike at the Sud Aviation plant, the first factory to start the protest. This was the start as workers had occupied roughly fifty factories on the first day, and 200,000 were on strike by the next. That figure snowballed to two million workers on strike the following day and then ten million, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, on strike the following week.<br/><br/>The police tried to contain this spontaneous outbreak of militancy by channeling it into a struggle for higher wages and other economic demands. Workers put forward a broader, more political and more radical agenda, demanding the ousting of the government and the president attempting, in some cases, to run their factories. But, the demands were changed to fit the The Ministry of Social Affairs' deal, which increased the minimum wage by 25% and the average salaries by 10% to the workers. The deal was rejected, and the strike went on as the working class and top intellectuals were joining in solidarity for a major change in workers' rights.<br/><br/>With the massive numbers, a meeting of the UNEF, the most outstanding of the events, proceeded and gathered 30,000 to 50,000 people in the Stade Sebastien Charlety. The meeting was extremely militant with speakers demanding the government be overthrown and elections held. The parties demanded it as well, start with the Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left declared that ""there is no more state"" and stated that they were ready to form a new government. A day after the meeting, the president suddenly disappears from the public eye. He had gone to Germany in order to get somewhere safe from his family, if the government was overthrown. As soon as his disappearance made headlines, the people were declaring that the president had left the country. Crowds were formed to celebrated the news and fireworks could be heard in Paris. <br/><br/>During the time of celebration, the government was in panic mode as they were removing classified information or planning out their escape. During that time, the Prime Minister took over and acted like the government during the chaos moments. He demanded that the military find the President and bring him to safely as he was afraid that he was kidnapped or worse. As soon as the President heard the news, he returned to France and told the people that he was in Germany doing something 'personal'. The people believed that he was planning his escape route if the revolution did break out.<br/><br/>After the President's speech, 400,000 to 500,000 protesters (many more than the 50,000 the police were expecting) led by the CGT met and marched through Paris, chanting that the President must leave. The head of the Paris' police force told the officers to not use force; however, his word didn't mean anything. The protest was largely centered around the Paris metropolitan area, and not elsewhere. Soon, they started to occupy a key public building in the heart of Paris: Les Invalides. They weren't doing anything harmful, but the government used military troops to force them out. Soon, it turned bloody as a soldier shot at one of them. Claiming that he was running towards him with something on his hand, even known people claimed that he just shot him for no reason. After the shot was fired, a couple more soldiers fired into the crowd out of fear until they were told to stop. Five died and three were wounded for gunshots at Les Invalides. <br/><br/>After the shooting, the people were getting ready to force the government to change in both a peaceful and harmful way. The revolution had begun due to the resulting casualties in the streets of Paris. The Socialist Party and French Communist Party gains public support quickly as the revolution starts in Paris and spreads all over France. The government and military are confused by the revolution as officials left the country or captured by the rebels. Two months of fighting between police and military forces and the people turned France into another war zone as towns were damaged and Paris was on fire.<br/><br/>This revolution would end with the president's death as he and his family were caught escaping a month and a half after the revolution started. The family was killed in the car, that they were escaping in, and the President was taken to an unknown location. Days later, camera filmed the execution of the President as a man waited for the President's last words to be said and then fired three bullets to the head. The revolution had ended. The parties had done well gaining the support needed for the elections in the coming months.<br/><br/>After the people voted, they founded out that the Socialist Party won the election as their president's name was called. The Communist Party was such that they would gain the next election; but, due to leadership changes and the fears of Communism later on would lower them. After the president was elected to office, he introduced several reforms and programs over his term and tried to improve his country. France would be improved until the Great Depression, which almost caused France to enter another revolution. But, the government was able to fix them before the fire could spread.<br/><br/>During that time, France improved relations by helping Britain restore their monarchy as they realized that their king was in France. After sending supplies to them, they became close friends and still are to this day. However, they had to give up almost all of their colonies in order to force back at home. Lost to rebellions or sold them to other countries, France was such to rebuild themselves and become once more a powerful nation in this world.</div></div></div></div>"

The only thing that is definitely not canon about it is the CEL alliance shenanigans.

Especially since through till 1925 was the era of the Great War. For the most part we felt that it would be safer for France's sake if they could acquire the resources to back the Crown by the 1950's.<br/><br/>Besides that, I am greatly disturbed by France's sudden economic growth post-war. Though it's not often talked about there was the same sort of international Great Depression that afflicted the war. But compounded by the lingering effects of post-war recession or depression. Simply put: the systems in America and such that instigated a global financial crises was compounded by the sudden and violent drop in demand for war-time resources and a further dip in the international economy when the markets are flooded with so much cheap shit; it can be said for that reason that there's a lot of Great War surplus now.<br/><br/>But off the bat from the war both I and Vilage are iffy on continued strong economic growth post-war. It was a violent affair that cost everyone a lot to simply manufacture for it. And with it also acting out such great damage of France itself it would have been worse there.

I got this much so far:<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">The Great Depression hit the world and France was hit the hardest as the stock market was crashing down. The fascist government tried it's best to control the stocks, but it kept going down. After the crash, people rushed to their banks to only found out that they were closed and out of money. The government was now depending on debts to keep the government going. They were also losing colonies due to Ireland's independence for Britain, which caused a wave of revolts and unrest to pass to the colonies. The country was getting worst as people were giving up hope on the fascist government and the rise of communism challenged them.<br/><br/>The communism fever swept pass France and soon factory workers were joining the People's Party in hope of getting their jobs back. Realizing that communism was going to be a threat, the government begun to pass a series of acts, bills, anything that were able to get people jobs. From fixing up war-torn town to updating the roads in Paris, that move by the government was supported by some of the people as jobs were on the increase. But, the communism party was growing in numbers as they believe that the economy will just collapse again.<br/><br/>The government had no choice, but to suppress the communist by arresting leaders and attacking communism protest. As the government was still signing domestic programs left to right in hopes of combating the unemployment rate. The wealthy were taxed heavily and spent on the needs of the public. The domestic programs and the taxing of the rich did help the depression, but It didn't end it. As the crisis was still going on in the fifties and it's still felt to the present.</blockquote><br/><br/>Is this good enough for the depression?</div>"

Come up with another term. This being Precipice, we like obscure melodramatic shit. If you are stuck, Veo might have some ideas that the rest of us wouldn't think of. <br/><br/>1 1/2: The loss of colonies is going to be propped up by A: Colonized people getting access to western educations and using their knowledge to better the condition of their people, B: The fact that your government probably won't be able to afford to properly upkeep the colonies, so you will be relying on the locals more and hamstrung when it comes to defending your interests abroad. <br/><br/>2: The depression in France is going to be a problem, but the biggest problem is going to be the massive damage done to the nations infrastructure and industry during the war. The problem you will be facing is the difficulty of rebuilding all of that with very little wealth. I think that, considering our WW1 is unrealistically long, the damage to Germany and France would have been so bad that both nations would have teetered on the edge of national collapse. I mean, the German Empire DID collapse in the real world, so the extended length of war would have caused much much more damage.<br/><br/>3: You know, I am as much a leftist as any modern internet kid who isn't sucking off of Daddy's credit card, but I have to point out that taxing the rich itself does not fix an economy. That is more a question of where a state gets its funds to pay for shit; the wealthy or everyone else, since you always have to pick one.</div>"

If you want to give it some flair though, you might go for something else. <br/><br/>One option you might shoot for is using the name of a leader with an -ism on the back, like ""Stalinism"" or ""Peronism""<br/><br/>Another option, in the vein of the Juche in North Korea or the Fascists themselves, is to use a single word or phrase (in French) as the name of your movement (which is easy, run a word or phrase through Google Translate and have someone who knows French like Veo check its correctness). For instance, this movement might build up support by declaring themselves the victors of the otherwise indecisive Great War, in which case they become the ""Vainqueur"" or ""Vainqueurist"" for victors. Or they might adopt good old fashion Ancien Regime symbolism and combine it was a political message of reconstruction to come up with the ""Fleurir"" or ""Fleurist"" for the double meaning to ""Bloom"", and a reference to the Fleur-de-lis.<br/><br/>We talk about the technical shit all the time this is true, but if you really want to be memorable it is a good idea to do colorful things. Just imagine Precipice as the pulp-magazine version of alternate history, where our gangsters wear horse masks, the largest rebellion in recent African history was lead by a cross dressing anarchist, and the Spanish ""Cazadores""(Hunters) are the most well trained fighting force on the field with a tendency to steal trains. </div>"

Even during the chaos of the French Revolution, the French economy never blew up completely. During the actual WWI, French GDP fell 24%. In the PoW timeline, with a war dragging on for 12/3 years, a 50% fall wouldn't be excessive. That would be an incredible fall, but if the government managed it decently, at least maintaining basic services, the country should have retained the ability to rebound after the war. Keep in mind that huge destruction also means huge opportunity to rebuild and stimulate the economy.<br/><br/>Honestly, I don't think the depression would have occurred in the 30's, if at all, due to the severe disturbances wrought upon the world economy by the war. Admitting economic history followed in PoW a similar path as in real life, the depression would have hit in 1940 or later.</div>"

Honestly, I don't think the war would remain an unmoving trench war throughout our version of the conflict, since having it last until the mid twenties is pretty extreme. After the Russians withdrew from the war in the real world, the Germans launched an offensive that nearly broke the war for the allies and very well could have ended the entire thing in favor of Germany if it wasn't for US intervention stabilizing the line. At the same time the US entered the war (again in the real world), the French military was plagued with a wave of desertions and mutinies in their military. A year later, the Germans suffered from a string of revolutions that overthrew the Kaiser's government. The point I am trying to make is that the war as we know it couldn't have lasted that long, so there must have been some evolution that changed the nature of the thing. It must have broke out of the trenches at some point, and the damage to the industrial capability of Western Europe would have been hampered.<br/>2) Veo covered this, but it is important to remember that WW2 didn't fix the Great Depression, that was already happening. Rather, WW2 mobilized the economy in the US to a degree it had never been mobilized before and built an industry that made the earlier recovery hard to distinguish from the Depression.<br/>3)<br/>4) I think they would have suffered from an exaggerated version of what the Germans suffered in real life, but political collapse would have been the more dramatic issue. France at the turn of the century was a divided society, and the social strife of such an extended war would have brought those divisions to a head. You're looking at nationalists, republicans, socialists, and catholics all blaming each other for what had happened and fighting for control. </div>"

The Socialists, who were the only ones who could have caused trouble, were in the government, so even though they were rather unhappy with the war, they couldn't really criticize the government. With the war lasting so long, of course, the situation would have changed, I can imagine. It's probable a more authoritarian regime would have surfaced, lead by Clémenceau, who received emergency powers in 1918. After a few years of that, I can't really tell. We would need to know more about the situation on the front.</div>"

The US could have recovered from it over several years based on the New Deal programs and reforms of the FDR regime. War facilitated a jump-start to the economy by suddenly opening up a shit ton of jobs (soldiering) and creating a sudden jump in demand for industrial and other goods to feed the war-effort.<br/><br/>At the expense of mass inflation growth mobilization of a country's military can create a artificial period of demand with units in combat, or in peace-time simply being deployed or drilled. Arguably, a nation could sacrifice enormous portions of their national budget to maintain a fully mobilized army with no real combat-situation: as the US was and has been since the First World War. After the Great War, the French could simply not return to peace-time demobilization and maintain a long-term standing army, just without anyone to fight.<br/><br/>This might be wasteful and in a Republican context lacking any sensible enemy to fight while other government programs are sucked dry to maintain a large tumor on the national budget would galvanize austerity parties probably.<br/><br/>Otherwise, the other option is something akin to the New Deal: a series of state-sponsored and legislature-signed projects, subsidies, and programs designed to alleviate the stress of the nation's economic burden and to encourage money to move around the nation to keep the heart moving. It's like a pacemaker for the economy, it keeps the money - blood - moving so that it can stabilize a national economy. Tariff policies could be put into place to protect local industries so no one goes bankrupt from foreign competition that'd benefit from this sort of thing. But in all it's a complex procedure and I don't know enough about it to provide any arbitrary metric.<br/><br/>What's known for sure (because it's fathered in by now) is that Spain's inaction in the war and programs kept its economy stable and then the most healthy in Europe post-war. When it comes to economic investment and practice, it seems a stable economy is favored by businesses.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">3) How does a country get out of a depression?

This can be seen as an argument the Chinese might make to defend its twenty-year history of absolute economic isolation and trading only with its allies in the Comintern.<br/><br/>The others being anti-European xenophobia and ""fuck the bourgeois"".<br/><br/>And thinking about the current economy of China in that context is pretty interesting, since a few of the older high-ranking officials are western-educated. But they came back to China cynical of the international economy which also explains their isolationism: they just don't want to risk drowning any pretense of revolutionary rewards by trading outwardly when being inward is much more stable.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">4) Is it realistic to make France's economy collapse for this roleplay?

It can surely recover but maybe not to the degree that it was before. If the Spanish are going to assume the sort of economic strength comparable to the US but in Europe then a lot of the economic opportunities that may have been reserved to the old powers of Europe would have been denied because of Spain. And there'd be competition among the rest to assume the highly-competitive ranks of a rich economy like Spain.<br/><br/>And in PoW's pattern of Europe back-peddling a lot of the non-traditional powers in foreign economics can or have risen to assume some status as an economic competitor to the European markets. But this can be discussed.</div>"

There had been a hard-line communist faction in most European countries since Marx, but it had always been in competition with the Social Democrats. All the Russian Revolution did was give the Communists a unified leadership in Europe, which did more harm than good in the end. Moscow's orders often contradicted the political realities of Europe, so the Communist parties were stuck between disobeying Moscow and losing international support, or hamstringing themselves and losing political maneuverability. <br/><br/>In Precipice, Moscow never takes control of the Communist movement in Europe, so they remain more competitive. </div>"

In the instance of France for example it was to get snuggy with America so they can get support to protect themselves from Communism. And repairing Germany was considered priority to create a bullwark against the Soviet Union, which had extensive control and influence over Eastern Europe. Likewise was Japan.<br/><br/>In this pretense we have a party providing a great deal of mediation in the post-war effects of war since dictating who and who should not get repaid after the war for the severe debts owed to them and general debt forgiveness. It also has an additional party willing to pay off at least some if not most of the war damages in that nation to some degree, accelerating that country's rebound post-war.<br/><br/>True it could be exaggerated to run it over fifties years, but I don't think I or Vilage have said for certain that the Depression itself ran for fifty years. But what we would be looking at are sort of long-term effects of it and arguably a stunting or reorganization of money in Europe that changes the dynamic on the continent.<br/><br/>EDIT - also what Vilage said. Assuming there's been long-reaching effects of the war that's still an effect today also helps to lend explanation as to why France has been so negligent to everything over-all. The only thing they have any likely, reasonable authority over still is Madagascar, and that may still be very iffy.</div>"

People waiting in breadlines, soldiers coming home frustrated at the state of their country, a massive drop in the youth population forcing women and the elderly into the workforce for pitiful wages, and a general dissatisfaction at the state of the country. Communists and nationalists carve out large chunks of the population and support for Republicanism falters. Those sorts of things.

But that major era of French colonial loss was in the 1970's so it'd be stomping close into that era of Spanish militant anti-communism. So he might need to talk to Googer if that's the case, or coincide their government transition out around the time the Spanish shifted out of the monarchy in the sixties.</div>"

So in the 20's you'd have at most a few tens of thousands of university students in Paris, mostly bourgeois upper-class. Of course you'd have quite a sizeable artistic and political avant-garde, but they could never muster the support of the majority of students. What I want to say is that a student uprising in the 20's is impossible. <br/>-Under the 3rd Republic, the head of the government was the President of the Council, much like in Italy today, the President of the Republic being only a figurehead. <br/>-Television didn't exist, or at least was extremely rare in the 20's/30's.<br/>-The army is a staunchly conservative force (like in most places), and would support the government. In 1870, when the Commune took over Paris, the government retreated to Versailles and then proceeded to lay siege to Paris. <br/>-In that regard, the rest of France, much less prone to revolution than the capital, would certainly be quite resistant to a complete regime change.<br/>-Since the Haussmanian reconstruction of Paris in the late 19th century, the city has been crisscrossed by wide, open avenues which are simply too wide to be barricaded. Thus the police would always have access to most sections of the city unharmed, leaving only a few neighbourhoods whose streets had been untouched, namely the Quartier latin, really off-limits in the event of an uprising there. <br/>-In the early 20th century, the main French political party was the Parti Radical de Gauche, a very moderate center-left party representing the progressive middle class, the bar-owners, the small shop owners, etc. It favored social reforms, but was violently anti-revolutionary. <br/>-In the event of snap elections following social strife, expect the right to gather the support of the law-and-order middle class across the country.<br/>-By the early 20th century, the bulk of the Parisian working class actually lived outside of the city proper, in the ""banlieues rouges"", the ring of suburbs outside the city limits. <br/>-The SFIO (Socialist Party) was a pretty moderate governing party. The leaders were marxist, but by the early 20th century didn't really believe in Revolution anymore. In the event of an uprising spearheaded by the PCF (Communist Party), it might furthermore be wary of the PCF gaining dominance.<br/>-The PCF had the support of around 10-15% of the electorate, and was widely shunned by the rest of the political spectrum (that was in part due to its perception as a foreign force under the command of the USSR, which it obviously wouldn't have in PoW)<br/>-Arguably, the most significant threat to the French Republic in the 30's was actually rightwing antiparliamentary, proto-fascist militias, the Ligues, made up in large part of former soldiers fed up with the incompetence of the government. It's possible that due to the duration of the war, nationalistic, violently xenophobic forces might have gained in popularity. In that case, however, expect an extremely strong reaction from the Left, which, bar the PCF, was very attached to the parliamentary republican form of government. The PCF, on the other hand, would be the ideological polar opposite of the Right, so it would be even more opposed to it than other leftwing parties. A civil war, rather than a revolution, would actually be more plausible.<br/><br/><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/dinh-aaronmk"">@Dinh AaronMK</a> In France, the colonial question actually cut across party lines. Members of some leftwing parties supported it, as in their opinion colonization brought civilization to the natives, and members of rightwing parties opposed it as they thought it lead to negligence of the development of France itself, as well as focusing the country's attention away from its fight with Germany, the ""hereditary"" enemy. </div>"

It was getting worse that the women and the elderly had to work for poor wages as the casualties were high. People were disliking the government every week as they tried to make the country stable before the war. But, the Great War changed people as they never saw a war going on for years and with the high amount of casualties never seen before in any war. <br/><br/>When the announcement that the arts programs in schools were getting cut in late 1926, a group of prominent poets and musicians took over the administration building at Nanterre University. They held a meeting about class discrimination in French society and the political bureaucracy that controlled the university's funding. The university's administration soon called the police and demanded that the students get out of the building. As soon as the meeting ended, the students left the building without any trouble. This caused students to distrust the police and the administration at the university. After months of conflicts between students and authorities, the university was finally closed in January 3rd, 1927.<br/><br/>After hearing about the closing of Nanterre, students at the Sorbonne University met to protest against the closure. With the help for The Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF), the number of protesters grew to 20,000 as the police arrived. The high school student unions, then joined the protesters at the famous Arc de Triomphe to demand three things happen after the protest: <br/> <br/>1) All criminal charges against arrested students, teachers, and supporters be dropped,<br/>2) The police leave the universities,<br/>3) And the authorities reopen them.<br/> <br/>Government officials didn't like the list that much; but, a 'leak report' that the government reopened the universities surfaced. The students ended the protesting and returned to their schools five weeks after it closed. But, students at the universities were shocked that police were still there. When students tried to enter the universities, they were sent back by police forces and some were even arrested. They now had a near revolutionary fervor. <br/><br/>After the false reports surfaced, a massive protest was held at Rive Gauche. When the police again blocked them from crossing the river, the crowd threw up barricades and said that they weren't leaving the bridge. After hours of negotiations, the police attacked the crowd at 2:15 in the morning. The confrontation, which produced hundreds of arrests and injuries, lasted until dawn of the following day. The events were broadcast on radio as they occurred and the aftermath was shown on television the following day. Many people were upset at the police force for treating the people harshly.<br/><br/>The government's heavy-handed reaction brought on a wave of sympathy for the strikers as mainstream singers and poets joined after the heavy-handed police brutality came to light. Artists all over the word also began voicing support of the strikers. The major left union federations, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and the Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), called a one-day general strike and demonstration. Then, over a million people marched through Paris on that day; the police stayed largely out of sight. The Prime Minister personally announced the release of the prisoners and the reopening of the university in May 20th, 1927, months after it closed.<br/><br/>After the university reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous ""people's university"". Public opinion supported the students' actions at the university. The police couldn't do anything without upsetting the people more, so the police was put on hold until they could retake the university.<br/><br/>While the students were protesting, the factory workers were tired of not getting enough money for their work. On May 30th, a group of workers decided to do a sit-down strike at the Sud Aviation plant, the first factory to start the protest. This was the start as workers had occupied roughly fifty factories on the first day, and 200,000 were on strike by the next. That figure snowballed to two million workers on strike the following day and then ten million, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, on strike the following week.<br/><br/>The police tried to contain this spontaneous outbreak of militancy by channeling it into a struggle for higher wages and other economic demands. Workers put forward a broader, more political and more radical agenda, demanding the ousting of the government and the president attempting, in some cases, to run their factories. But, the demands were changed to fit the The Ministry of Social Affairs' deal, which increased the minimum wage by 25% and the average salaries by 10% to the workers. The deal was rejected, and the strike went on as the working class and top intellectuals were joining in solidarity for a major change in workers' rights.<br/><br/>With the massive numbers, a meeting of the UNEF, the most outstanding of the events, proceeded and gathered 30,000 to 50,000 people in the Stade Sebastien Charlety. The meeting was extremely militant with speakers demanding the government be overthrown and elections held. The parties demanded it as well, start with the Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left declared that ""there is no more state"" and stated that they were ready to form a new government. A day after the meeting, the president suddenly disappears from the public eye. He had gone to Germany in order to get somewhere safe from his family, if the government was overthrown. As soon as his disappearance made headlines, the people were declaring that the president had left the country and declaring that July 1st would be a day to celebrate. Crowds were formed to celebrated the news and fireworks could be heard in Paris. <br/><br/>During the time of celebration, the government was in panic mode as they were removing classified information or planning out their escape. During that time, the Prime Minister took over and acted like the government during the chaos moments. He demanded that the military find the President and bring him to safely as he was afraid that he was kidnapped or worse. As soon as the President heard the news, he returned to France and told the people that he was in Germany doing something 'personal'. The people believed that he was planning his escape route if the revolution did break out.<br/><br/>After the President's speech, 400,000 to 500,000 protesters (many more than the 50,000 the police were expecting) led by the CGT met and marched through Paris on July 23, chanting that the President must leave. The head of the Paris' police force told the officers to not use force; however, his word didn't mean anything. The protest was largely centered around the Paris metropolitan area, and not elsewhere. Soon, they started to occupy a key public building in the heart of Paris: Les Invalides. They weren't doing anything harmful, but the government used military troops to force them out. Soon, it turned bloody as a soldier shot at one of them. Claiming that he was running towards him with something on his hand, even known people claimed that he just shot him for no reason. After the shot was fired, a couple more soldiers fired into the crowd out of fear until they were told to stop. Five died and three were wounded for gunshots at Les Invalides on the same day. <br/><br/>After the shooting, the people were getting ready to force the government to change in both a peaceful and harmful way. The revolution had begun due to the resulting casualties in the streets of Paris. The Socialist Party and French Communist Party gains public support quickly as the revolution starts in Paris and spreads all over France. The government and military are confused by the revolution as officials left the country or captured by the rebels. Two months of fighting between police and military forces and the people turned France into another war zone as towns were damaged and Paris was on fire.<br/><br/>This revolution would end with the president's death as he and his family were caught escaping a month and a half after the revolution started. The family was killed in the car, that they were escaping in, and the President was taken to an unknown location. Days later, camera filmed the execution of the President as a man waited for the President's last words to be said and then fired three bullets to the head. The revolution had ended on October 5th, 1927. The parties had done well gaining the support needed for the elections in the coming months.<br/><br/>After the people voted, they founded out that the Socialist Party won the election as their president's name was called. The Communist Party was such that they would gain the next election; but, due to leadership changes and the fears of Communism later on would lower them. After the president was elected to office, he introduced several reforms and programs over his term and tried to improve his country. France would be improved until the Great Depression started, which almost caused France to enter another revolution. But, the government was able to fix them before the fire could spread.<br/><br/>During the early fifties, France improved relations by helping Britain restore their monarchy as they realized that their king was in France. After sending supplies to them, they became close friends and still are to this day. However, they had to give up almost all of their colonies in order to force back at home. Lost to rebellions or sold them to other countries, France was such to rebuild themselves and become once more a powerful nation in this world.<br/><br/>Not before losing the democratic socialism party to The Republicans, a centre-right political party.</div></div></div></div></div>"

France was the only nation with more damages than any other, even the Britain wasn't damaged as much as France was. The Germans were near Paris as sounds of gunfire and cannons were going on, even some of them hit the city. Thankfully, they were driven away from Paris and back to the front lines as the fighting was getting more serious and longer. <br/><br/>The people were tired of fighting the war as it was getting more costly to fight the war and the whole eastern side of France was a war zone. But, the war ended in victory and peace. Massive cuts in military expenditures and the increased industrial demands were the cost of gaining victory. Days after the war, the world was facing an depression unlike any other.<br/><br/>A month right after the war, things got worst as people were now waiting in line for bread and the soldiers for the war were getting tired of it. It was getting worse that the women and the elderly had to work for poor wages as the casualties were high. People were disliking the government every week as they tried to make the country stable before the war. But, the Great War changed people as they never saw a war going on for years and with the high amount of casualties never seen before in any war. <br/><br/>When the announcement that the arts programs in schools were getting cut in late 1926, a group of prominent poets and musicians took over the administration building at Nanterre University. They held a meeting about class discrimination in French society and the political bureaucracy that controlled the university's funding. The university's administration soon called the police and demanded that the students get out of the building. As soon as the meeting ended, the students left the building without any trouble. This caused students to distrust the police and the administration at the university. After months of conflicts between students and authorities, the university was finally closed in January 3rd, 1927.<br/><br/>After hearing about the closing of Nanterre, students at the Sorbonne University met to protest against the closure. With the help for The Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF), the number of protesters grew to 20,000 as the police arrived. The high school student unions, then joined the protesters at the famous Arc de Triomphe to demand three things happen after the protest: <br/> <br/>1) All criminal charges against arrested students, teachers, and supporters be dropped,<br/>2) The police leave the universities,<br/>3) And the authorities reopen them.<br/> <br/>Government officials didn't like the list that much; but, a 'leak report' that the government reopened the universities surfaced. The students ended the protesting and returned to their schools five weeks after it closed. But, students at the universities were shocked that police were still there. When students tried to enter the universities, they were sent back by police forces and some were even arrested. They now had a near revolutionary fervor. <br/><br/>After the false reports surfaced, a massive protest was held at Rive Gauche. When the police again blocked them from crossing the river, the crowd threw up barricades and said that they weren't leaving the bridge. After hours of negotiations, the police attacked the crowd at 2:15 in the morning. The confrontation, which produced hundreds of arrests and injuries, lasted until dawn of the following day. The events were broadcast on radio as they occurred and the aftermath was shown on newsreels and newspapers the following days. Many people were upset at the police force for treating the people harshly.<br/><br/>The government's heavy-handed reaction brought on a wave of sympathy for the strikers as mainstream singers and poets joined after the heavy-handed police brutality came to light. Artists all over the word also began voicing support of the strikers. The major left union federations, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and the Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), called a one-day general strike and demonstration. Then, over a million people marched through Paris on that day; the police stayed largely out of sight. The Prime Minister personally announced the release of the prisoners and the reopening of the university in May 20th, 1927, months after it closed.<br/><br/>After the university reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous ""people's university"". Public opinion supported the students' actions at the university. The police couldn't do anything without upsetting the people more, so the police was put on hold until they could retake the university.<br/><br/>While the students were protesting, the factory workers were tired of not getting enough money for their work. On May 30th, a group of workers decided to do a sit-down strike at the Sud Aviation plant, the first factory to start the protest. This was the start as workers had occupied roughly fifty factories on the first day, and 200,000 were on strike by the next. That figure snowballed to two million workers on strike the following day and then ten million, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, on strike the following week.<br/><br/>The police tried to contain this spontaneous outbreak of militancy by channeling it into a struggle for higher wages and other economic demands. Workers put forward a broader, more political and more radical agenda, demanding the ousting of the government and the president attempting, in some cases, to run their factories. But, the demands were changed to fit the The Ministry of Social Affairs' deal, which increased the minimum wage by 25% and the average salaries by 10% to the workers. The deal was rejected, and the strike went on as the working class and top intellectuals were joining in solidarity for a major change in workers' rights.<br/><br/>With the massive numbers, a meeting of the UNEF, the most outstanding of the events, proceeded and gathered 30,000 to 50,000 people in the Stade Sebastien Charlety. The meeting was extremely militant with speakers demanding the government be overthrown and elections held. The parties demanded it as well, start with the Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left declared that ""there is no more state"" and stated that they were ready to form a new government. A day after the meeting, the president suddenly disappears from the public eye. He had gone to Germany in order to get somewhere safe from his family, if the government was overthrown. As soon as his disappearance made headlines, the people were declaring that the president had left the country and declaring that July 1st would be a day to celebrate. Crowds were formed to celebrated the news and fireworks could be heard in Paris. <br/><br/>During the time of celebration, the government was in panic mode as they were removing classified information or planning out their escape. During that time, the Prime Minister took over and acted like the government during the chaos moments. He demanded that the military find the President and bring him to safely as he was afraid that he was kidnapped or worse. As soon as the President heard the news, he returned to France and told the people that he was in Germany doing something 'personal'. The people believed that he was planning his escape route if the revolution did break out.<br/><br/>After the President's speech, 400,000 to 500,000 protesters (many more than the 50,000 the police were expecting) led by the CGT met and marched through Paris on July 23, chanting that the President must leave. The head of the Paris' police force told the officers to not use force; however, his word didn't mean anything. The protest was largely centered around the Paris metropolitan area, and not elsewhere. Soon, they started to occupy a key public building in the heart of Paris: Les Invalides. They weren't doing anything harmful, but the government used military troops to force them out. Soon, it turned bloody as a soldier shot at one of them. Claiming that he was running towards him with something on his hand, even known people claimed that he just shot him for no reason. After the shot was fired, a couple more soldiers fired into the crowd out of fear until they were told to stop. Five died and three were wounded for gunshots at Les Invalides on the same day. <br/><br/>After the shooting, the people were getting ready to force the government to change in both a peaceful and harmful way. The revolution had begun due to the resulting casualties in the streets of Paris. The Socialist Party and French Communist Party gains public support quickly as the revolution starts in Paris and spreads all over France. The government and military are confused by the revolution as officials left the country or captured by the rebels. Two months of fighting between police and military forces and the people turned France into another war zone as towns were damaged and Paris was on fire.<br/><br/>This revolution would end with the president's death as he and his family were caught escaping a month and a half after the revolution started. The family was killed in the car, that they were escaping in, and the President was taken to an unknown location. Days later, camera filmed the execution of the President as a man waited for the President's last words to be said and then fired three bullets to the head. The revolution had ended on October 5th, 1927. The parties had done well gaining the support needed for the elections in the coming months.<br/><br/>After the people voted, they founded out that the Socialist Party won the election as their president's name was called. The Communist Party was such that they would gain the next election; but, due to leadership changes and the fears of Communism later on would lower them. After the president was elected to office, he introduced several reforms and programs over his term and tried to improve his country. France would be improved until the Great Depression started, which almost caused France to enter another revolution. But, the government was able to fix them before the fire could spread.<br/><br/>During the early fifties, France improved relations by helping Britain restore their monarchy as they realized that their king was in France. After sending supplies to them, they became close friends and still are to this day. However, they had to give up almost all of their colonies in order to force back at home. Lost to rebellions or sold them to other countries, France was such to rebuild themselves and become once more a powerful nation in this world.<br/><br/>Not before losing the democratic socialism party to The Republicans, a centre-right political party.</div></div></div></div></div>"

The people believed that he was planning his escape route if the revolution did break out.<br/><br/>After the President's speech, 400,000 to 500,000 protesters (many more than the 50,000 the police were expecting) led by the CGT met and marched through Paris on July 23, chanting that the President must leave. The head of the Paris' police force told the officers to not use force; however, his word didn't mean anything. The protest was largely centered around the Paris metropolitan area, and not elsewhere. Soon, they started to occupy a key public building in the heart of Paris: Les Invalides. They weren't doing anything harmful, but the government used military troops to force them out. Soon, it turned bloody as a soldier shot at one of them. Claiming that he was running towards him with something on his hand, even known people claimed that he just shot him for no reason. After the shot was fired, a couple more soldiers fired into the crowd out of fear until they were told to stop. Five died and three were wounded for gunshots at Les Invalides on the same day. <br/><br/>After the shooting, the people were getting ready to force the government to change in both a peaceful and harmful way. The revolution had begun due to the resulting casualties in the streets of Paris. The Socialist Party and French Communist Party gains public support quickly as the revolution starts in Paris and spreads all over France. The government and military are confused by the revolution as officials left the country or captured by the rebels. Two months of fighting between police and military forces and the people turned France into another war zone as towns were damaged and Paris was on fire.<br/><br/>This revolution would end with the president's death as he and his family were caught escaping a month and a half after the revolution started. The family was killed in the car, that they were escaping in, and the President was taken to an unknown location. Days later, camera filmed the execution of the President as a man waited for the President's last words to be said and then fired three bullets to the head. The revolution had ended on October 5th, 1927. The parties had done well gaining the support needed for the elections in the coming months.<br/><br/>After the people voted, they founded out that the Socialist Party won the election as their president's name was called. The Communist Party was such that they would gain the next election; but, due to leadership changes and the fears of Communism later on would lower them. After the president was elected to office, he introduced several reforms and programs over his term and tried to improve his country. France would be improved until the Great Depression started, which almost caused France to enter another revolution. But, the government was able to fix them before the fire could spread.<br/><br/>During the early fifties, France improved relations by helping Britain restore their monarchy as they realized that their king was in France. After sending supplies to them, they became close friends and still are to this day. However, they had to give up almost all of their colonies in order to force back at home. Lost to rebellions or sold them to other countries, France was such to rebuild themselves and become once more a powerful nation in this world.<br/><br/>Not before losing the democratic socialism party to The Republicans, a centre-right political party.</div></div></div></div></div>"

I can no longer treat my adhd with just caffeine, so until I can get in and get proper treatment for it, I'm just not even gonna bother with trying to work on my post, so I can have one less thing on my mind.<br/><br/>I'll still write the post for the battle of cape town whenever it is that I come back to writing for PoW, though, for timeline purposes (so Britain isn't perpetually sitting just outside Cape Town for however much time goes by while I'm away), consider the battle of cape town a rough british success, with us losing about an equal amount of men as we made them lose, because of the majority of British soldiers lacking any real, worthwhile experience. Also, a pro British South African would've shot down the South African president/prime minister/whatever-they're-called's helicopter as they were evacuating Cape Town, putting them in critical condition, and killing 2 other VIP's onboard the same helicopter. So if that's relevant to anyone posting int he near future... I hope that's enough to help. <br/><br/>I'll still be on Steam if I'm needed, but...

On top of that for another RP I got myself set up in the Congo so knowing some of this fun will help me do localization things since the primary perspective characters thus far aren't necessarily Bantu-speakers.<br/><br/>Reiteration of words in the Bantu languages is fun too. Basically the word for ""stabing"" can be reiterated to mean, ""Attack"" or ""war"". So ""Stab stab"" translates to ""to attack, to [go to] war"" or something. And then there's a word that has no meaning on its own unless said twice to mean ""chaos"".</div>"

If it's still in the UK (I think it kind of is), some kind of war (civil or otherwise) had to be won by the British/Unionists or some concessions given by the British to Dublin. By the end of the First World War IRL, the Irish were about ready to fight to the death for independence, where as 10 years before they were happy with Home Rule. I can't imagine how rebellious they were after 11 years of war. Maybe they could of broken off (unrecognised by the international community) for a few years after the war when Britain was at its weakest and were then re-conquered by the British during the 50's as a start to their new Empire building. <br/><br/>Familiarise yourself with this song and you should be grand:<br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""279"" src=""//youtube.com/embed/iBT4ZWy6Lm4?theme=dark"" width=""496""></iframe> </div>"

He’d been working at the magazine for the best part of three decades. He could remember his first day as if it were yesterday. He’d worn an ill-fitting linen suit that his mother had picked out for him from the charity shop and been so nervous he’d sweated through it on the way there. Jonathan Aitkens, <span class=""bb-i"">Jerusalem</span>’s then Political Editor, had teased him mercilessly about it for weeks. Needless to say he’d used his first pay cheque on a new suit. He’d hated Aitkens back then but looking back on the whole ordeal he couldn’t help but laugh. Despite all the teasing Aitkens had made him a better journalist. Three decades ago he’d been a sweaty, chubby freelancer looking to make a dent in the world of journalism and today he was the Political Editor of <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>. It had been some journey.<br/><br/>As had the journey Lambert had been on this afternoon. Fred had been summoned, along with a half dozen other Political Editors, to a meeting at Downing Street by the Prime Minister’s attack dog Samuel Hobbs. His official role was “Director of Communications” but Lambert had never seen Hobbs do anything other than shout at people. Hobbs was from Newcastle and was one of the few in the Prime Minister’s inner circle that hadn't gone to Cambridge. He started out writing obits in a small-time paper in Newcastle and now he was one of the most powerful men in the government. When he slung insults at you across a Downing Street table they stuck. As many had done this afternoon. Lambert knew better than to interject during the meeting and instead listened in silence as Hobbs briefed the Editors on the government’s legislative agenda for the upcoming twelve months.<br/><br/>It was unspectacular enough to begin with. Amongst the headliners were legislation aimed to crack down on the alleged rise in illegal trade union activity and cutbacks to social programs deemed non-vital. It was the final policy that had almost knocked Alfred off his feet. He almost pinched himself to check he was awake when Hobbs said it. The shocked faces of the other Political Editors around the room mirrored his own. The second Hobbs was done speaking Lambert had tucked the folder Hobbs had supplied each of them with under his arm and broke into a jog out of the meeting room. It was that very same folder that Lambert slapped onto the desk of his Political Correspondent as he entered the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> newsroom.<br/><br/>Sebastian “Seb” Hadland was Alfred’s protégé. Hadland was the son of a family friend. Usually Lambert disapproved of nepotism but at the time the boy had been out of work for near to two years and at the point of depression. He’d never worked a news desk before and had no journalistic experience but under Lambert’s wing he’d turned into the finest writer on the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>’s payroll. The skinny Political Correspondent reached for the folder and skimmed through it as Lambert watched on. Hadland seemed disinterested at first until his eyes fell on the policy on the final page. <br/><br/>He set the folder down on his desk with a bemused look. “You’re kidding, right? ‘The Voluntary Repatriation Bill’?”<br/><br/>“I wish I was.”<br/><br/>“Forced deportations? That’s what it’s come to?”<br/><br/>Lambert sighed. “Hobbs says the Prime Minister will be pushing the legislation through Parliament next week.”<br/><br/>“They’re British citizens,” Seb muttered as he crossed his arms. “This is wrong. We need to go public on this one.”<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Going public</span>. Alfred and Seb discussed it from time to time. It was the nuclear option. Ever since the Troubles had ended all news outlets had to clear the contents of its publications with the government. It hadn’t <span class=""bb-i"">always</span> been like this. After the Troubles the government of the day had introduced the legislation as an emergency measures to combat the mountain of misinformation distracting it from rebuilding Britain. Decades later and the emergency measures were still in place. It made breaking stories near impossible and criticizing the government a risky proposition at the best of times. Going public would mean going to print without state authorization. It was also likely result in the complete closure of <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>.<br/><br/>Lambert shook his head. “You know we can’t do that.”<br/><br/>“Then what the bloody hell are we for?” Seb said with an exasperated sigh. “We can’t keep <span class=""bb-i"">pretending</span> to be journalists forever, Fred.”<br/><br/>It stung. Once upon a time <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span> had prided itself on its independence. Those days were long gone. The anarchists that had torn their country apart in the wake of the Great War had ensured that. For as great as men like Jonathan Aitkens were, even they had to bend the knee and hand over their work to the government ahead of time. It was a bitter pill to swallow for Alfred, no doubt a bitter pill to swallow for Aitkens too, but there was more than pride at stake here. Lambert had a duty of care for all of the members of staff at New Jerusalem and unilaterally deciding to run a scathing piece about the Voluntary Repatriations Bill would have repercussions for all of them.<br/><br/>“We don’t have a choice. We print what they want us to print or GCHQ turn up and take everything,” Lambert said through gritted teeth. “<span class=""bb-i"">Including us</span> if they’re feeling particularly vengeful. You know that.”<br/><br/>Seb nodded despondently and Alfred walked across the small, cramped office to hang up his coat. The office building that contained the <span class=""bb-i"">New Jerusalem</span>’s office was almost a hundred and fifty years old. The whole building felt like it shook every time someone walked across the office. Finally Lambert took to his seat at the desk next to Seb’s and found his protégé giving him a pensive look.<br/><br/>“How old were you during The Troubles?”<br/><br/>“Young,” Lambert said with a shrug. “Too young to remember them, if that’s what you’re asking.”<br/><br/>“All I ever hear is how bad things were then. On days like these it’s hard to imagine how things could be much worse than they are now.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Whitehall, London</span><br/><br/>A thin, pale figure slinked through the hallways of Downing Street. His footsteps made no sound and he drew no more attention to himself than was unavoidable, except for the occasional polite nod to the cleaning staff still hard at work. It was four in the morning and the Prime Minister wasn’t due to arrive in Downing Street for two hours. Samuel Hobbs had been awake for two hours. He was slender, barely filling out the inexpensive grey suit wrapped around his pale flesh, and his face was beset with deep wrinkles. His hair was more grey than black and his teeth had been yellowed by cigarettes in his youth. Yet Hobbs retained an unconventional attractiveness to him that even his most ardent admirers would struggle to explain. He brushed some lint from his shoulder as he reached the door to his office and reached for the doorknob.<br/><br/>A smile crept across his thin lips as he opened it very slowly and peered inside. There sat on the chair at his desk was Dominic Hewitt. Hewitt was his second-in-command and had agreed to take the night shift whilst they tried to smooth the land for this repatriations thing. He was a tall, gangly man with a smug face and his hair was immaculately parted at all times. Even at this early hour having worked through the night Hewitt was still inexplicably well turned out. Hobbs opened the door a crack and slide through it with care as he approached Hewitt from behind. He made certain to mask his footsteps as he approached and ran one of his pale hands through Dominic’s hair with a mocking laugh. <br/><br/>Hewitt pulled his hair away with a nervous chuckle. “Jesus fucking Christ, Hobbs, how do you do that?”<br/><br/>Hobbs ignored him completely and pointed down to the newspapers spread across his desk. “What are the papers saying?”<br/><br/>A self-satisfied smile appeared across Hewitt’s face as he fired back. “They say what we tell them to say.”<br/><br/>Hobbs glared at Hewitt and the Press Officer laughed nervously and reached for the newspapers in front of him and brandished them in Sam's direction.<br/><br/>“<span class=""bb-i"">The Times</span> called it a “necessary step to curb growing Afro-Caribbean extremism in the capital” and the <span class=""bb-i"">Mail</span> went with the guest-worker angle like we suggested. Only the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span> really dragged its feet.”<br/><br/>Hewitt handed Hobbs a copy of the morning’s <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span> and the Prime Minister’s Head of Communications scanned the front page with his beady, probing eyes. A pained expression appeared on his face and he threw the copy back down on the desk and gestured to Hewitt to get out of his seat. Hobbs set his briefcase down beside his seat and then sat down and pulled a pen from the inside pocket of his suit. He scribbled down the name of the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span>’s Political Editor with a menacing smile.<br/><br/>“Trust me, Charlie Whitebread is going to have a damascene conversion to the merits of voluntary repatriation overnight unless he wants the <span class=""bb-i"">Mail</span> to find out about his little gambling problem.”<br/><br/>“Stop it,” Hewitt said with an over-zealous laugh. “You know it turns me on when you talk dirty.”<br/><br/>As the words left his mouth Hewitt spotted a young Downing Street staffer in the doorway to the office. In her hands was a tray with Sam's morning coffee and a selection of biscuits. Hewitt could tell from the look on her face that she’d heard the tail end of his sentence and he turned blushed red.<br/><br/>“We were just going over the papers.”<br/><br/>The young staffer smiled and set the tray down in front of Hobbs. “Of course.”<br/><br/>Hobbs nodded by way of thanks and Dominic stood up from his chair to shut the door behind her as she left the two men alone. His cheeks were still rosy with embarrassment as he sat back down. Hobbs reached for a Custard Cream on the tray in front of him and took a bite out of it as he scanned over the newspapers one last time.<br/><br/>“From the looks of it this should be enough to get the PM to stop breathing down my neck for a couple of days. He’s <span class=""bb-i"">really</span> worried about this one. He seems to think that with South Africa dragging out longer than anticipated there might be trouble over this repatriation thing. Some blowback from the Afro-Caribbeans in the inner-cities seeing as it’s all happening at once.”<br/><br/>Hewitt leant back in his charge and smiled sardonically. “I don’t blame him. Have you ever been to Brixton on a Saturday night?”<br/><br/>“Oh, relax, you poof,” Hobbs said as he crunched on a Custard Cream. “They’d eat those Brixton boys for breakfast up in Newcastle. There’s nothing to be worried about. It’ll be fine.”<br/><br/>Hewitt leant back in his chair and noticed his ruffled hair in one of the reflective surfaces in the office. Hobbs rolled his eyes and he noticed the younger man go to painful lengths to fix his hairstyle. He was about to jab Dominic about it when the young man started speaking.<br/><br/>“The Ethiopians are not going to like it. They might kick up a bit of a stink but I think privately there’ll be some that will be pleased by the move. It plays into their hands, after all, so I don’t expect too much trouble on that front.”<br/><br/>Hobbs nodded appreciatively and reached for the coffee on the tray in front of him. “So what you’re saying is that the PM has <span class=""bb-i"">nothing</span> to worry about on this? Is that what you’re saying to me, Dominic?”<br/><br/>“I’m not sure if I’d say nothing but the nearest thing to it.”<br/><br/>“Excellent. Well, the Prime Minister will be very glad to hear that when he arrives this morning,” Cobb said as he took a mouthful of coffee. “Now fuck off and go fiddle with your hair somewhere I don’t have to see you.”<br/><br/>Dominic laughed nervously at the dig. Hobbs stared at him impassively over the brim of his coffee. Hewitt’s nervous laughter fell silent and he looked at the Head of Communications as if attempting to deduce whether he was being serious or not. After several seconds of silence Hobbs looked towards the door instructively and Dominic made his way towards the exit. <br/><br/>Once it had closed him Hobbs shook his head and muttered to himself under his breath. “Oxbridge wanker.”<br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">*****</span></div><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Brixton, London</span><br/><br/>At a small, square table crammed into the corner of a cramped, messy kitchen are Errol Clarke and his adoptive son Keenan Gayle. In Keenan’s hands was a copy of this morning’s <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span>. Errol could see the young man struggling to read the headline on the front page and urged him to try to sound it out. The boy had always been slow, even when he was at school, and now that he was out it seemed like he’d gotten even worse. Errol tried to encourage the boy to read where he could. It was important to keep your wits about you. It was even more important for Keenan now that his daughter was around. Up until six months ago Keenan had seen his daughters at weekends. Then her mother fell into a <span class=""bb-b"">very</span> strange crowd and decided she wanted to move to Ethiopia. It had all came entirely out of the blue and Keenan, who at that point had been unemployed despite being twenty-five, had been forced to get his life in order since. Learning to read properly was part of that.  <br/><br/>Errol could see Keenan losing his patience as he tried to sound the word out. “Rep… repatr… repatri-“<br/><br/>“Repatriation,” Errol said as he tapped the word on the front page with his index finger. “The word you’re looking for is repatriation.”<br/><br/>Keenan scratched his chest through his green string vest and then smiled blankly in Errol’s direction. “What does it mean?”<br/><br/>Clarke had seen the signs. He’d been about Keenan’s age when he’d come to Britain after they had invited workers from the colonies to help rebuild the nation. He remembered at the time that the “guest worker” program was a <span class=""bb-i"">temporary</span> initiative and that workers would be expected to return to their native countries once the program was finished. Problem being that the problem never finished. The guest workers had children, <span class=""bb-i"">British</span> children, and built lives for themselves here in Britain. His daughter Honor had been born in Tooting, attended school in Roehampton, and had never so much as ventured north of the Thames until she was eighteen, let alone Jamaica. Yet in one foul swoop the government had declared that Errol, Honor, Keenan, and even little Simone as having outstayed their welcome.<br/><br/>Errol spoke as plainly as he could. “It means they’re going to send us back.”<br/><br/>“Send us back where?”<br/><br/>Errol shrugged his shoulders and then stared out at the morning’s sky with a sigh. “Jamaica I suspect, though if they won’t have us I’m sure they’ll try to palm us off on the Africans.”<br/><br/>“I don’t understand,"" Keenan said with a frown. ""I was born here.”<br/><br/>Errol’s thick lips twisted into a smile. “You think that makes you one of them?”<br/><br/>A confused look appeared on Keenan’s face. The boy was strong and had a good heart but it was clear from his expression that even speaking plainly Errol had managed to confuse him. It was a wonder the boy managed to tie his shoes correctly in the morning, let alone look after a child, but as always Errol endeavoured to explain it to Keenan in a way he’d understand. The old man leant on his cane and tried to formulate his approach when memories of his father flashed across his mind. He had been like Keenan in a lot of ways; both were strong, openhearted, and quick to trust. It hadn’t done Errol’s father any good but there was still time for Keenan to learn.<br/><br/>“My father travelled across the Atlantic to fight in their war for them. I guess he thought there’d be some glory to be had or that the white man might accept him if he fought. You know what they had him doing for three years? Digging trenches. He nearly lost a foot out there and was half-deaf by the time he arrived in Britain. And guess what? They still didn’t want a thing to do with him. He lasted nine months here in Britain before he decided to move back to Jamaica.”<br/><br/>Errol cleared his throat a little to mask the fact he was choking up. Opposite him Keenan’s eyes were locked on him. It was the first time Errol had spoken to <span class=""bb-i"">anyone</span> about his father since leaving Jamaica. He’d never even told his own daughter about any of this. Honor was long gone. They hadn’t spoken in years and rumour had it she’d left London years ago. Chances are that even if she was here she wouldn’t want to hear it. Perhaps one day Keenan might pass on Errol’s account of his last conversation with his father to Honor. Perhaps she could learn from the folly of it as Errol intended for Keenan to.<br/><br/>""After the British started the guest worker program I told him I was going to move to London to find work. Even after the way they treated him he <span class=""bb-i"">still</span> couldn’t bring himself to speak a bad word about the place. Can you believe that? Listen, Keenan, you need to understand that they’ll never accept you as you are. All you can do is keep your head down, work hard, and try to save what you can for you and yours. I have a feeling the coming months are going to be bad.”<br/><br/>Errol’s old eyes caught movement in his periphery and he turned to see Keenan’s nine-year old daughter Simone stood in the doorway of the kitchen. She was wearing pink and purple pyjamas bearing small pictures of puppies and kittens over them. <br/><br/>She rubbed her tiny eyes as she looked up at the man she knew as Uncle Errol. “What’s going to be bad?”<br/><br/>Keenan placed the newspaper down on the table and walked over to his daughter with a smile. He bent down, picked her up, and carried her over towards the window by the sink. Errol smiled as he watched Keenan playfully pretend to dunk Simone into the sink and then sat her atop one of the cleaner portions of the counter beside it.<br/><br/>“Why don’t we get you ready for school?”<br/><br/>Simone frowned. “I don’t want toast this morning.”<br/><br/>“You don’t have to have toast. You can have something else,” Keenan said as he made his way over towards the fridge and scanned its contents. “As long as “something else” doesn’t include milk because <span class=""bb-i"">someone</span> used the last of it in their tea this morning.”<br/><br/>Errol stared down at the cup of tea in front of him with a guilty smile. It was his third cup of tea this morning and it wasn’t even seven. The elderly Jamaican man didn’t have many vices but milky, sugary tea was one of them. He made a mental note to pick up some more milk next time he was out of the house and then watched on as Keenan flicked through the cupboards for something.<br/><br/>Simone pointed up at one of the boxes in the cupboard. “Can I have porridge?”<br/><br/>“Sure,” Keenan said as he pulled the box down. “You can have as much porridge as you want.”<br/><br/>Errol smiled at the scene as Keenan began to make a bowl of porridge for Simone. He made it ten seconds in before Simone decided she wanted to be involved in the process. The transformation Keenan made when his daughter was around was extraordinary to watch. Errol was almost certain Simone read at a higher level than Keenan. Yet there, his daughter in his arms, it didn’t make the slightest bit of difference. For a second Errol wondered whether he’d been wrong to worry and then his eyes met with the headline on the front page of the <span class=""bb-i"">Guardian</span>.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">“PM PLOTS REPATRIATION PLAN.”</span></div></div></div></div><br/></div>"

So that would leave Norway, or the non-commie Finland. Neither of which really seem like they have much room for involvement with others.<br/><br/>So... leaving Scandinavia aside for the moment, which of the Ottoman remnant states would be best, for activity with others, as well as story flexibility? I think Palestine's history is at least slightly solidified, and I know Egypt's' is. Then Turkey proper would probably be int he same situation as Greece, and Libya i feel may eventually get assimilated. <br/><br/>So... Syria, I suppose? Unless there's any additional input anyone wants to give.<br/><br/>Edit: I was also considering trying my hand as Japan again, now that I've got the experience in nation RP's and actually know what I would be doing over there. Though I'm not sure if Japan would fall into the same realm of Britain of ""Too much potential for my current posting speed.""

Currently it is mid-July, 1980. What Aaron is talking about is that, since it takes us a while to clear five pages, time in Precipice moves waaayyy slower than time in the real world. In the year and a half we've been in the RPG, we've only covered two and a half months.<br/><br/>But, as Evan says, the month system is just a thing we pretend exists to make Aaron feel good, so don't worry about it too much, because the only real effect of the system is to make shit happen very quickly in the Precipice world. <br/><br/>The most infamous example of how this time system works is the North American War timeline, as demonstrated in this handy dandy gif.<br/><br/><img src=""http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/precipiceofwarroleplay/images/f/fc/North-American-War-Timeskip.gif/revision/latest?cb=20120904001252""/><br/><br/>...and it is 1970 there because we've had a habit of occasionally skipping time. So the periods in PoW that were actually RPed were January 1970 to April 1971, May 1976 to August 1977, and Febuary - March and May - July of 1980. Also don't worry too much about that, because with the African War and the evolution of our RPing styles, I don't see a timeskip in our immediate future.<br/><br/>Also, did Byrd discover meth?

It was five 'o clock now. Five 'o clock Beijing. Five 'o beginning of the day.<br/><br/>Hou Sai Tang had bothered himself to be in the office at three, well before the workers of China stirred for Breakfast. He had an hour of peace as he viewed his secretaries schedule for him. The ministers of The People's Economics and The People's Welfare were scratched in for twelve. He had seven hours to finish reviewing their reports and concerns as written by The People's Parliament. Outside the loud speakers continued to blare: ""The Ministry of the Peoples Resources reports that rice supplies have doubled within the previous two months!"" it blared, beginning the daily grind on any changes in rations, ""Good weather in Hubei, Zhegiang, Shanghai, and Anhui have brought forth a plentiful harvest over this years winter! More is yet to come as the provinces of Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi have yet to report in!""<br/><br/>Hou rubbed is head in frustrated agony. Rice production had been on the rise since last year. It was becoming such an expected thing that he was warned the people would likely revolt if the supplies dropped. Flipping through the pages he looked for possible solutions or ways to fake the rise. But all he could produce was to tap into the reserves of rice to spill out onto the streets and have the logs written as if there was a rise.<br/><br/>""Iron production has dipped down!"" the speakers said. The announcer on the other end obviously going to all ends to pretend to be saddened. But his voice perked up when it announced what for, ""However it is to be noted from the Ministry of Outward Revolution that iron production is still at the same level as has been! Simply because the production has started on several more war-ships to be put into production later this month!""<br/><br/>The speakers went on, discussing an estimated number of tanks produced. Followed shortly by artillery batteries, planes constructed, and bombs made. These numbers were always vague, often within a deflated range. But no one knew. It was simply said to keep the people positive, thinking that the numbers advertised within sufficient need. And any agents wishing to topple the Socialist regime would go home reporting a number far weaker than really is.<br/><br/>This also reminded Huo Sai Tang. Shortly after his meeting with the ministers he was to discuss furthering the revolutionary cause in Indo-China. Targeting Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. It had been suggested that agents be sent to Russia to tell the people how they suffer under the Tzar. But one problem arose in the meeting: they knew of no agents who looked Russian enough.<br/><br/>The speakers drowned on. The blaring of rations fading into patriotic anthems of the revolution: powerful choral music that sung of the deeds of the brave boys who lost their lives at Xi'an, Chengdu, Beijing, and elsewhere blood was shed for the revolution. As the day wained further toward the noon hour the songs gave way to news.<footer>Posted January 17th, 2011</footer></blockquote></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Vilage's First Post"" type=""button"">Vilage's First Post [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none""><blockquote class=""bb-quote""><span class=""bb-b"">Nekemte, Ethiopia</span><br/><br/>It was early in the morning, early enough that the merchants had yet to awaken and fill the streets with the typical bartering bustle. The quiet of morning was disturbed by the low rumble of engines as a convoy of military vehicles and dark cars crept toward the mansion that stood upon the hill. The Mansion itself paled in comparison to what could be found in richer parts of the world. It has been built out of a church which had been bombed out during one of the many civil wars that had been fought in the last century. The austere remnants of the church had been fixed and combined with the more comfortable (if not gaudily so) trappings of a wealth, a juxtaposition that represented the current state of affairs quite effectively.<br/><br/>This residence did not belong to your average man of wealth, but rather the powerful Ras Hassan. A man of Arabic decent, Hassan was Yohannes's bodyguard before he was emperor. Now middle aged, he had upgraded to political office as Defense Advisor to the emperor, and arguably the emperor's right hand man. He was a man with a short fuse, and well known for his fits of rage, a trait that complimented Yohannes more intellectual and subdued behavior.<br/><br/>Yohannes was indeed a more stoic figure from the outside, but those who knew him were aware he was a man of strong opinions and convictions. His beliefs had been fueled by the things he had witnessed first hand while traveling the world. He was seen a west african woman starve to death within yards of a dinner party held by a German Merchant in Bagamoyo. These events had solidified his belief that the Europeans should be driven from the continent. It was that belief that had started the events leading up to the meeting in Nekemte.<br/><br/>From all over Africa, the leaders of the many anti-colonial independence efforts had managed to smuggle themselves out of their countries to meet with their greatest common supporter. For the first time in the history of the European occupation, these freedom fighters would come together in a united effort to free the continent, and they would do so under the leadership of Yohannes. As the sun started to rise, the meeting that would decide the fate of Africa began as Yohannes started to speak.<br/><br/>""First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming here. I hope your journeys weren't too difficult considering state of things."" the emperor began. ""First order of business is the Congo. Mobutu, what is the situation there?""<br/><br/>Joseph-Désiré Mobutu was the leader of the Congolese Independent Army, which had seen the most success of any anti-colonial rebellion. ""The Belgians have been forced into the capital at Leopoldstad, and we have taken near control of the countryside. We would have already beaten them, but Belgium has air-lifted troops and supplies. We will need better weapons if we are to liberate the city."" reported Mobutu. Yohannes quickly replied ""Done. We will furnish you with all you need, on the condition I will explain as our second order of business. Ethiopia is willing to furnish you with the supplies, but we do not give without expectations of return. We will only support your governments in exchange for your vassalage."". Everyone at the table except for the Ethiopians looked shocked. This was not the way they had seen him before, and they weren't fans of oppression. None the same, not accepting would put them at the mercy of the colonial governments. They had no other choice but to agree, and that is exactly what everyone did.<footer>Posted February 10th, 2011</footer></blockquote></div></div></div>"

It was Machiavelli that said men must either be treated with kindness or ruthlessness, for men cannot revenge themselves for great injuries.

It was five 'o clock now. Five 'o clock Beijing. Five 'o beginning of the day.<br/><br/>Hou Sai Tang had bothered himself to be in the office at three, well before the workers of China stirred for Breakfast. He had an hour of peace as he viewed his secretaries schedule for him. The ministers of The People's Economics and The People's Welfare were scratched in for twelve. He had seven hours to finish reviewing their reports and concerns as written by The People's Parliament. Outside the loud speakers continued to blare: ""The Ministry of the Peoples Resources reports that rice supplies have doubled within the previous two months!"" it blared, beginning the daily grind on any changes in rations, ""Good weather in Hubei, Zhegiang, Shanghai, and Anhui have brought forth a plentiful harvest over this years winter! More is yet to come as the provinces of Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi have yet to report in!""<br/><br/>Hou rubbed is head in frustrated agony. Rice production had been on the rise since last year. It was becoming such an expected thing that he was warned the people would likely revolt if the supplies dropped. Flipping through the pages he looked for possible solutions or ways to fake the rise. But all he could produce was to tap into the reserves of rice to spill out onto the streets and have the logs written as if there was a rise.<br/><br/>""Iron production has dipped down!"" the speakers said. The announcer on the other end obviously going to all ends to pretend to be saddened. But his voice perked up when it announced what for, ""However it is to be noted from the Ministry of Outward Revolution that iron production is still at the same level as has been! Simply because the production has started on several more war-ships to be put into production later this month!""<br/><br/>The speakers went on, discussing an estimated number of tanks produced. Followed shortly by artillery batteries, planes constructed, and bombs made. These numbers were always vague, often within a deflated range. But no one knew. It was simply said to keep the people positive, thinking that the numbers advertised within sufficient need. And any agents wishing to topple the Socialist regime would go home reporting a number far weaker than really is.<br/><br/>This also reminded Huo Sai Tang. Shortly after his meeting with the ministers he was to discuss furthering the revolutionary cause in Indo-China. Targeting Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. It had been suggested that agents be sent to Russia to tell the people how they suffer under the Tzar. But one problem arose in the meeting: they knew of no agents who looked Russian enough.<br/><br/>The speakers drowned on. The blaring of rations fading into patriotic anthems of the revolution: powerful choral music that sung of the deeds of the brave boys who lost their lives at Xi'an, Chengdu, Beijing, and elsewhere blood was shed for the revolution. As the day wained further toward the noon hour the songs gave way to news.<footer>Posted January 17th, 2011</footer></blockquote></div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Vilage's First Post"" type=""button"">Vilage's First Post [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none""><blockquote class=""bb-quote""><span class=""bb-b"">Nekemte, Ethiopia</span><br/><br/>It was early in the morning, early enough that the merchants had yet to awaken and fill the streets with the typical bartering bustle. The quiet of morning was disturbed by the low rumble of engines as a convoy of military vehicles and dark cars crept toward the mansion that stood upon the hill. The Mansion itself paled in comparison to what could be found in richer parts of the world. It has been built out of a church which had been bombed out during one of the many civil wars that had been fought in the last century. The austere remnants of the church had been fixed and combined with the more comfortable (if not gaudily so) trappings of a wealth, a juxtaposition that represented the current state of affairs quite effectively.<br/><br/>This residence did not belong to your average man of wealth, but rather the powerful Ras Hassan. A man of Arabic decent, Hassan was Yohannes's bodyguard before he was emperor. Now middle aged, he had upgraded to political office as Defense Advisor to the emperor, and arguably the emperor's right hand man. He was a man with a short fuse, and well known for his fits of rage, a trait that complimented Yohannes more intellectual and subdued behavior.<br/><br/>Yohannes was indeed a more stoic figure from the outside, but those who knew him were aware he was a man of strong opinions and convictions. His beliefs had been fueled by the things he had witnessed first hand while traveling the world. He was seen a west african woman starve to death within yards of a dinner party held by a German Merchant in Bagamoyo. These events had solidified his belief that the Europeans should be driven from the continent. It was that belief that had started the events leading up to the meeting in Nekemte.<br/><br/>From all over Africa, the leaders of the many anti-colonial independence efforts had managed to smuggle themselves out of their countries to meet with their greatest common supporter. For the first time in the history of the European occupation, these freedom fighters would come together in a united effort to free the continent, and they would do so under the leadership of Yohannes. As the sun started to rise, the meeting that would decide the fate of Africa began as Yohannes started to speak.<br/><br/>""First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming here. I hope your journeys weren't too difficult considering state of things."" the emperor began. ""First order of business is the Congo. Mobutu, what is the situation there?""<br/><br/>Joseph-Désiré Mobutu was the leader of the Congolese Independent Army, which had seen the most success of any anti-colonial rebellion. ""The Belgians have been forced into the capital at Leopoldstad, and we have taken near control of the countryside. We would have already beaten them, but Belgium has air-lifted troops and supplies. We will need better weapons if we are to liberate the city."" reported Mobutu. Yohannes quickly replied ""Done. We will furnish you with all you need, on the condition I will explain as our second order of business. Ethiopia is willing to furnish you with the supplies, but we do not give without expectations of return. We will only support your governments in exchange for your vassalage."". Everyone at the table except for the Ethiopians looked shocked. This was not the way they had seen him before, and they weren't fans of oppression. None the same, not accepting would put them at the mercy of the colonial governments. They had no other choice but to agree, and that is exactly what everyone did.<footer>Posted February 10th, 2011</footer></blockquote></div></div><footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/vilageidiotx"">@Vilageidiotx</a></footer></blockquote><br/><br/>I am having tears of happy nostalgia.</div>"

It was time to make things official. Robert Holland would go out in front of a multitude of supporters to make the declaration they had been waiting for for so long. Some of Robert's most trusted advisors wished him luck as he stepped out onto a stage in front of the Rhode Island State capitol building. The crowd roared as he came into view, and the blinding flashes of cameras lit the area.<br/><br/>He waited for the crowd to settle and began his speech,<br/><br/>"" We live in turbulent times, and under a nation who's true colors have blossomed in recent years. Blossoming that unlike a flower, or plant, did not symbolize the beginning of a new stage in a life of happiness and prosperity, but a stage of radical change toward a darker future.<br/><br/>We live under a nation who's changed the very foundations our forefathers set for us. The very ideals they fought for - a nation that was fully capable and willing to fire on unarmed, peaceful protesters nearly forty years ago, yet unable to retake its territories in the Philippines, and most recently, unable to protect its citizens from Canadian invasion.<br/><br/>A nation lead by leaders who have been guided by grudges, their campaigns fueled by hate. A nation continuously ruled by leaders who only steer us toward destruction. Waging wars for their pleasure, wars waged simply to quench their thirst for blood, and to end their grudges and resentments.<br/><br/>Leaders whose priorities are set elsewhere while their people sit neglected, their demands going unheard. It is during these times that the people rise and cry out for change, and when their cries go unheard, it becomes a matter of not if, but when their cries turn to booms. <br/><br/>It is during these times, that it becomes necessary for the people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and upon stating the cause which impel them to their separation, they bring forward a declaration. <br/><br/>It is then, that I, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of New England, solemnly publish and declare, that these unified states are, and of right ought to be free and independent of the United States of America. Liberated from any allegiance to the United States government, and that all political connections to the United States are, and ought to be, dissolved; We hereby declare New England independent from the United States, signaling a new beginning towards a brighter future! ""<br/><br/>The crowds erupted in cheers as Robert walked off stage and into the capitol building. Men throwing their hats into the air, women overwhelmed with tears of joy.

Once they were all inside, he began to speak slowly and calmly. <br/><br/>""I assume you all know the situation going on to the east of our shores, am I correct?"" Hirohito asked his advisers, all of whom responded positively. ""The reason I have called for your assistance today is to ask your opinion about it. I believe that contacting either the NER or their allies would be good. However, we cannot involve ourselves if China takes the side of the USSA. We are to continue keeping out of each others affairs still. However, this brings up another option which may lend great aid to the NER and their allies. If we are on the side of the NER, and China is on the side of the USSA, perhaps, and this is just a wild guess, keep in mind. Perhaps we can speak with China, and come to an agreement that neither of us will involve ourselves in this conflict. If it comes to it, we can agree to sending weaponry to our respective sides, but as long as neither of us lend men to either side, I believe it will give the NER a chance. But we cannot allow them to lose to the USSA. That is the reason I called you here. I need you to share your opinions on this, my wise counsel. <br/><br/>After a brief moment of silence, one man stepped forward, bowing before the emperor. ""His majesty. While I agree that we cannot let the USSA take back the NER, I also must say that at this time, we are not ready for the possibility of an attack on our homeland. We have our treaty with the Chinese, but I feel if we involve ourselves too much, it can be seen as breaking the treaty on our end, and lead to an Chinese invasion of Japan."" After bowing again, the man stepped back, laving room for the others to say their part. <br/><br/>The second the first man stepped away, a second, taller man, who was closer in age to the emperor, stepped forward. ""His majesty. While Nori here does make a good point, the same could be applied to the Chinese, which is what I believe you meant. We could just as easily call them out for breaking the treaty by involving themselves in a war which would harm our allies, and by extension, us, due to lack of resources our allies would be able to trade. However, I must disagree with you. While compared to China, the amount of men we can send is a much smaller number, we have been working on military technology for the last few years, and we have, to say the least, made some great advances. Our ships are almost ready to be armed with the new rocket technology. Within a month, our scientists have promised it's completion. On top of that, our ground troops will be armed with a new type of gun, which holds more ammunition, and is far more accurate than what we have now. Finally, our new jets are on the way, but... Our engineers cannot promise they will be ready before the month ends. What I am trying to say is... Should things take a turn for the worse, we will be ready."" Bowing, the man stepped back, leaving room for the final one to step forward.<br/><br/>The last man to bow before the emperor was of average height, and far more muscular than the other two. He was somewhere in his fifties, and had dark grey hair to match. As he spoke, he spoke with confidence and authority. ""His Majesty. I can assure you that my men will be able to hold off any kind of attack, so worrying about us getting attacked isn't an issue. However, we shouldn't go seeking war at the current time. If we can train more men before getting involved in anything, it could be the tipping point we need. That said, I fully agree with trading with the NER, so long as China doesn't see it as breaking the treaty. I believe our first and foremost plan should be to contact them. But then again, contacting the NER and their allies first, and ensuring good relations with them would be a good plan, as well. If they are our allies and trade partners before the call with China, our position would be greater before contacting them. So. I say contact the NER, and then the Chinese. Kichirou and Nori both made good points, but if we want this to go smoothly, our best plan of action is contacting the young NER first."" Bowing, the man stepped back.<br/><br/>Emperor Hirohito sat before his advisor, considering all of their ideas. Individually and together. Finally, he stood, signifying he had made a decision. ""Get me something to write with. We need to get a letter to the NER president. Oh, and general Ichihara, if you wouldn't mind staying, I wish to consult you further on this matter."" Bowing, the other two left in a hurry, while the general stayed sitting before the emperor. ""Now... You said our men would be ready. That is good. However, I need you to go around and check the status of all the advancements Kichirou mentioned. If we can get them sooner, make sure it happens. While we are safe from a Chinese invasion, the USSA has other allies, and may see our relations with the NER as a threat. I want to be ready if the USSA or her allies declare war on Japan. You are dismissed.""<br/><br/>Standing and bowing one last time, the general left the room, as Kichirou once again entered, carrying the writing supplies for the emperor. ""Here you go, his majesty. Will this be all..?"" <br/><br/>Hirohito nodded, but held up his hand, signifying his adviser to wait. After writing up the letter, he folded it, put his imperial seal upon it, and gave it to his adviser. ""Modegi Kichirou. I want you to personally put this letter in the hands of the NER president. I will have Nori call them, letting them know I am sending you as an ambassador. Please prepare your things, and let your family know. You are getting on a plane to North America tonight."" <br/><br/>Kichirou bowed, and, letter in hand, left the Emperor. He immediately placed the letter within an envelope, and then into a briefcase. He then gathered his things, and headed home, to say goodbye to his wife and children. Meanwhile, Nori was informed of the call he was to make, and immediately headed for a phone, and placed a call to the NER government. After waiting to be connected, he finally spoke, rusty as his English was. ""Hello. May I speak with somebody who can deliver a message to your president?"" Nori waited patiently, but secretly was excited. This is the first communication Japan would be having with anybody outside their Empire in a while.<br/><br/>Last edited by Feokris: Jan 12, 2012</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Evan's First Post"" type=""button"">Evan's First Post [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Yerevan, Armenia<br/><br/>The Fox fiddled with the clips on his briefcase in the back of a taxi heading to Zvartnots International Airport. He also had with him a piece of carry-on luggage with about a week's worth of clothes, a novel for the flight, and a Makarov PM he ""borrowed"" from the local policeman. Inside the briefcase was his fake ID and passport, a letter from one of the major financial backers of the ASF, his longtime friend Joseph Arakelien, and 10,000 liras in unmarked bills. For all the airport officials knew, he was Aram Nazaryan, and he was visiting his Polish cousins. After five minutes of waiting, The Fox told the driver to pull over. The total charge was 8 liras and 76 kuruş. The Fox reached inside his suit and pulled out a five lira note and four ones. ""Sorry. I don't have exact change,"" The Fox told the driver, ""but you can keep the extra.""<br/><br/>The Fox smiled and hoisted his luggage out of the cab. Mentally, he rehearsed the order in his head: I've got thirty guys who need something low-profile, rugged, and flexible. I also need it to match caliber with the Turkish service rifle so we can steal ammo from them. The ASF was unknown at this point, and airport security was lazy at Zvartnots. As The Fox strolled over to the security desk, a bored-looking Turkish guard scanned over him for overt weapons, and then dismissed him. He went back to reading his nude magazine with his feet on the desk.<br/><br/>The Fox went to the ticket desk to buy a ticket to Poland. ""Hello, ma'am,"" he said to the 50-something woman who worked there. ""I'd like one ticket for the 5 o'clock flight to Lodz, please.""<br/><br/>""Sure,"" the woman said, reaching under the desk to pull out a case with a ticket in it. She tried to strike up small talk with The Fox, ""So why are you going to Lodz? Isn't it dangerous?""<br/><br/>""Yes,"" The Fox said, playing along, ""I'm visiting my cousin.""<br/><br/>""Indeed."" She opened the box and gave him the ticket. ""Gate 13 is on your left. Have a nice day.""<br/><br/>""You, too."" The Fox payed the ticket amount and left.<br/><br/>Last edited by TheEvanCat: Jun 19, 2012</div></div></div>"

Tolkien was an ardent anti-communist so I imagine he'd have fled to the countryside during the Troubles given much of the violence was in urban areas. It would have given him more than enough time to work on Lord of the Rings. Given the climate though there's some question whether it would have been as successful and/or whether Tolkien would have lived long enough to receive the acclaim for it.</div>"

I think a literary butterfly effect would be inevitable, where lifestyle changes caused by the political climate would have put his mind in a different place while he was writing the books, but how far would that go? And how much would his view on the political situation at the time change what he ends up writing? </div>"

When he discovered the American jazz jam-bands that had came over after the North American War, he began to sit in on the sessions and learned the art. He met an Ethiopian Cornet player named Marc and together they decided to try and tour Europe. On their way north, they ran across a man in the desert named Samel, who seemed to be a natural at the drums.

Part of the reason I've continued to be interested in PoW is that, so far, when I come up with an idea I like I pretty much always <span class=""bb-i"">do</span> make it happen. But what I actually have planned out is somewhat scattered.<br/><br/>So, for instance, I have a pretty good idea of what I want Africa to look like after the war - not specific borders mind you, just the general shape of things. I know who I want to survive the war. I had some character death scenes pretty much planned out since the MCF days sometime. I even know, though we will never get this far, what personality Prince Tewodros is going to have when he is an adult. But I didn't figure out what Sahle was going to be doing in Russia until sometime earlier this year. And I didn't know what his personal part in the Russia storyline was even going to be until probably about a week ago. <br/><br/>Sometimes I have these random ideas that come out of nowhere, like when I am in the car or taking a shower, and I'll stick them in because I like them. An example of this is Revolution-Town in that last Akanni post. That came from me suddenly imagining some little African commune with walls that have communist leaders' faces painted on them. I have no clue where that is going to go, but I'll work it out later because I usually seem to. Another example is the hallucinatory dreams I give Sahle - those are usually just weird scenes that that I randomly imagine of nowhere, and I just roll with them because I like them. I just wrote one for a Sahle post coming up here soon, even though I was already busy writing up the lead-up to the Battle of Dire Dawa. I just liked it so much I had to jot it down before I forgot any part of it. <br/><br/>So that's kind of how it works for me. I have a general idea of where things are going, I have all these little ideas that are just things I like and want to fit into Precipice, and the rest of the RP for me is weaving all of that together so it makes sense. It doesn't feel like just going through the motions for me because I genuinely enjoy writing this shit. It's like my version of gardening or something - I plant the seeds, go through all the work of growing them, and get that satisfied feeling when I step back and see the end result. </div>"

Rinse and Repeat a few times and here I am.<br/><br/>Planning ahead is something I want to do and enjoy doing, but then noticing how convoluted and terrible it really is makes me second-guess everything at the moment. Plus, seeing all the CRAZY ASS SHIT on the wiki that happened with previous people's nations really makes me not want to be just another repeat fucker-upper.</div>"

Seriously, the importance of that story line in the development of what PoW became should not be understated.<br/>3: Canadian beach landing in Cali. Not a serious scene, but still fucking iconic.<br/>4: Assassination of Tejero. Big scene, fairly momentous.<br/>5: Battle of Milan. Probably the most enjoyable pre-Spanish-Ethiopian War battle in the entire RP. Tanks circling the palacia or whatever that building was called and tearing it all to shit.<br/>6: Though the big China scenes are pretty well covered by Aaron's art, the general ambience of the Chinese Opera captures a lot of China in one swath, in terms of setting and important characters.<br/>7: To me, Spain's iconic image is wealthy people and politicians partying on zeppelins above Madrid.<br/>8: Sevan. I might be partial to Sevan because I spent so much time writing there, but I think it deserves a little art.<br/>9: I don't even know if this is canon anymore, but as it strange as it sounds, the Spanish and American battle during the blockade of Boston is iconic to PoW for me. An African agent watching from a telephone booth as Spanish and American ships duke it out in the distance, and a New English freighter chugs forward full of near-privateers... I dunno, I think that is a great symbol of early MCF precipice really.<br/><br/>Or, I guess alternatively some mix, though that might be ambitious.<br/></div>"

There's no adjusting this.""<br/><br/>""SPORE you, Juhani."" Juhani got out of the truck, which was parked in a parking garage. Viktor leaned back into the seat and began to cry.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>An hour and a half later, Juhani picked up the submachine gun. He loaded it, putting three or four extra magazines in his pouches. He secured the the gun to his chest, tearing the shoe strings out of his shoes to do so. He fumbled with the knot for a moment; tying things with one hand was difficult.<br/><br/>""Viktor.""<br/><br/>There was no reply.<br/><br/>""Viktor!"" Juhani walked around to the front of the truck, looking in the window. ""Viktor?""<br/><br/>Viktor was sitting, resting his head in his hands. ""....Good luck."" he said. Juhani nodded, and turned and left, walking out of the parking garage in the direction of the gathering crowd.<br/><br/>Viktor took a few minutes, sitting almost motionlessly. He opened up the door: it'd been the first time he'd walked around in several hours, and his legs were stiff. He jogged for a few minutes, getting the blood flowing, and then walked slowly, to slow down his heart race. He went to the back of the car and made sure the SVD was secure, so it wouldn't be shaken around, and took a quick inventory of everything he had left.<br/><br/>He made his way back to the front of the car and drove up to the roof of the parking garage, where almost all of the parking spots had been taken. They had been taking turns waiting near the parking space to deter anyone else from staying there. Viktor finally pulled the truck up, parking it as close to the curb at the edge as he could. He sat for a moment, looking around. Suddenly he felt very exposed, very quickly. Surely there were snipers all around him right now...<br/><br/>He glanced down. In the floorboard where Juhani usually sat, Juhani's pistol was laying, still in the holster.<br/><br/>He ducked down, so he wouldn't be able to be seen through the windshield. He grabbed Juhani's pistol and slipped it discreetly to the inside of his belt. He pulled his shirt down, to cover up the clip, and got out of the truck. He walked around to the back, glancing up at the sun. Noon. It would be setting in their direction...<br/><br/>He scanned for a few minutes, making sure that no one else was on the roof. A stupid couple with their stupid children, lollygagging for five minutes. Once they were gone, he pulled a few trash cans (again, making sure to not be able to be seen by a potential sniper) to block the way. Hopefully someone would get the message. He walked back, staying directly behind the car. He pulled out the SVD, putting the magazine in. Viktor took a few deep breaths.<br/><br/>He pulled the Dragunov out and placed it underneath the truck (they'd been sure to inflate the tires as much as possible), keeping it underneath the shadow of the truck. No scope glare (of course, the sun being on the opposite side probably helped).<br/><br/>He crawled underneath the car, out onto the rough concrete. He crawled back out, grabbing a few jackets and shirts, laying them to make it a bit more bearable. It was much better now, and he moved up close to the rifle, looking down the scope. He pulled the pistol out of his holster and laid it down next to the rifle. Partially for safety, but partially...<br/><br/>Thirty minutes to the start of the speech. Then twenty. Then ten. Then five. Then three, two, one...<br/><br/>The czar came out to tumultuous applause. Viktor looked through the scope, seeing Juhani's face. Juhani turned, scanning all the rooftops, finally coming to the parking garage. He stared at where he knew Viktor was, and kept his gaze there for a few seconds, before moving. Wouldn't want to draw suspicion.<br/><br/>The speech began. Bull that Viktor didn't care about. He felt searing hate for the man speaking, his voice magnified with half a dozen microphones, but pushed it away. Had to keep his heart rate steady. The shot wasn't very far. A few hundred yards at best.<br/><br/>It was nine minutes, eighteen seconds into the speech. The time they'd agreed on. Viktor watched Juhani rustle inside of his coat with one arm , and saw two shoelaces, tied together, drop down to his feet.<br/><br/>From there, Viktor stopped looking down the scope at him. This was another part of the plan. He turned his gaze back to where the czar was rambling about prosperity and-<br/><br/>His speech was interrupted with gunfire, a spray of bullets being shot out at the czar as Juhani ran towards the side of the stage. It was all of the three seconds before he dropped the gun, plunged his hand into his coat, grasped the C4 detonator he'd received from the city hall, and blew himself to smithereens.<br/><br/>Viktor didn't have time to mourn. Last member of Vallankumous. Security guards were already coming out to secure the czar, and the snipers, who would all have turned to the explosion, had to be blinded by the magnified light. At least for a few seconds; he knew they'd be ready to fire very quickly.<br/><br/>Viktor took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and lined the crosshairs on the czar's forehead. The wind had stopped; the flags behind him had ceased to move. The Coriolis effect wouldn't matter at a distance this short.<br/><br/>He pulled the trigger, and there was a deafening bang. After the recoil settled, Viktor looked through the scope: the bullet had gone straight through the czars' head. It was a miracle, and Viktor laughed to himself. He took a moment to feel sorry for Juhani; but then he knew it was time to go.<br/><br/>Within five minutes the czar's forces would be swarming the parking garage-he doubted the shadow of the truck had concealed the flash as well as he'd hoped. He crawled back, moving as slowly and stealthily as he could, and got the AK-47 from the back of the truck. He crawled back under his shelter, taking a brief moment to scan for any snipers.<br/><br/>Viktor smiled-this had been televised. He turned around, making sure his feet weren't poking out, and got the AK-47 ready to fire. Juhani's pistol was right beside it, for when the AK ran out.</div></div><br/><br/>The date on this should be December 15th, 1970. </div>"

The old <a href=""http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/forum-roleplaying/440287-precipice-of-war-and-like-a-gypsy-band-we-move?page=92#c1840"" rel=""nofollow"">Military Reform Bill</a> from way way back in the old days of the MCF has the entire Ethiopian military numbering at 360,000, with 95,000 men per Sefari. With This is probably peacetime numbers though. Either way, Hassan is commanding the seventh and fourth Sefaris, with some parts of the fourth being stationed in Mogadishu and Mombasa to put up a fight should the Spanish try to occupy those cities. Hassan did not command all of his available forces at Djibouti though, because Djibouti is an isolated city in the hottest desert on the planet and the logistics of a large army in that desert wouldn't be worth defending an undefendable city. So I'm guessing probably dealing with only about ~40,000 Africans involved in Djibouti. This number gets complicated by the involvement of Harari shiftas and the Afar, but they probably couldn't be accurately accounted for anyway.<br/><br/>So for casualties, for Ethiopia most of these would have accrued late in the battle. The first phase of the battle, fought at night, would have seen a very low African military casualty rate, but a terribly high civilian casualty rate with the bombardment of Djibouti taking place with probably ~20,000 people still in the city. Most of those people would have tried to flee, but the city purposely set up to burn so the Spanish couldn't get it, we're still looking at probably ~10,000 or more dead civilians. This is also the phase where the Spanish would have taken heavy losses. Ethiopia's ground troops spent the battle watching from the sidelines and skirmishing with what few Spaniards managed to clear the inferno. The Ethiopian airforce only had that one jet as a significant threat, so their losses were negligible. <br/><br/>The next few days of the battle involved the African forces being pushed away from the city, and this is where military casualties would start to mount for them. If we are looking at ~40,000 troops on the field, and Hassan purposely slipping his forces backward to minimize casualties at the cost of losing the battle, I'd say we're looking at probably an Ethiopia casualty rate of roughly 15%. So lets go with ~1000 Ethiopian dead, ~5000 Ethiopian wounded or missing, and ~10,000 Civilian dead. <br/><br/> </div>"

By the seventies the Congo was swept up by the Ethiopian Pan-African Empire. But to Marcel there was little difference, in the mid-seventies he launched a revolution to oust Ethiopian suzerainty of the Congo and had succeded enough to seize Kinshasha and declare it an independent state for a brief time.  While known as a brilliant strategist who had lead a rag-tag army to beat an armored column, he was also notable for his appreciation of classical music and women's clothes and make-up and not shy about it.<br/><br/>Ultimately, his revolution was put to the end by the Somali-born field marshal of the Ethiopian Pan-African army, Hassan al-Somalied (likely misspelled) who to draw out and cause tension in his ranks amputated the arms of the children of the tribal group that had been Marcel's largest supporters. The dissension and personal fury by the tribal commanders to put an end to Hassan's brutality sufficiently destabilized his ranks and he was able to be defeated and captured. And while Marcel faced execution, the respect shared between two commanding officers was enough that Hassan laid out the reality to him, suggesting that suicide would be a more honorable alternative than execution. Hassan gave him his knife, which Marcel killed himself with.<br/><br/>Hassan would later defend the amputation of the limbs of infants and children and deflect criticism with, ""There's no treachery in winning"" and that only treachery and dishonor is what's shouted by the losers.</blockquote></div>"

I also edited it into the character section, but just so it doesn't have to go be found, here's Japan's (brief) history. <br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Kaweewee Animu Land Histury"" type=""button"">Kaweewee Animu Land Histury [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Japan's role in the Great War, much like in real life, was mainly focused on taking German pacific islands, and making attempts to assert control over China. However, due to the extended length of the Great War, Japan's position as a producer of war materials for it's European allies provided the nation with a large amount of excess income and, once the war ended, an excess of war materials that the Europeans both no longer had a need for, and refused to continue paying for. Having nobody to sell the materials to, and offended by the Europeans refusal to honor their deals to continue buying the supplies, the Japanese decided to take payments from the Europeans in the form of their remaining holdings in the Pacific. <br/><br/>In the summer of 1926, Japan broke it's alliances with the crippled European powers, following up with immediate declarations of war for their Pacific holdings. The Europeans, unable to send forces to the other side of the world to stop the Japanese, could do nothing but turn a blind eye as their colonial holdings were forced into submission. Seeing that the Europeans were not going to retaliate, Japan pushed further in 1929, taking Hong Kong, as well as raiding various Chinese warlords along the coast, though those never escalated to much, and usually ended without continued occupation. Seeing it's successes, without a single failure, Japan began to plot larger invasions against French Vietnam, and the British dominions of New Zealand and Australia. However, just as Japan was about to launch it's first invasions into Vietnam and New Zealand, a delayed appearance of the Rice Riots reared it's head, forcing the Japanese military to cancel the invasions in order to deal with great turmoil back home.<br/><br/>Once the riots had calmed, the Japanese government was forced to focus on agriculture and civil issues, which delayed it's invasions of Vietnam and New Zealand indefinitely. Unable, and unwilling, to return to it's conquest, Japan traded in it's war machines for farming supplies, and it's war plans for road plans. Just when it seemed at it's strongest, Japan was forced to disappear form the world's stage. At least, until the deterioration of China's political state became too much for the Japanese to resist. Knowing that they needed a new source of income to support it's Empire, and realizing that the Europeans might put up a fight now, Japan abandoned it's ambition for Pacific domination, and instead set it's eyes on China.<br/><br/>With a surge of renewed vigor, the Japanese landed a mass of their forces in Korea, quickly marching them North into Manchuria. The Japanese military, being much better equipped (and supplied, thanks to the unused resources the Europeans left them with) than the Chinese warlords, managed to quickly dominate Manchuria, and even pushed into Beijing with ease. In order to maintain control the the region as they continued their aggressive push into China, the Japanese installed the former emperor Puyi (who had been living in exile in Japan), as the local governor. Despite various differences shared between Puyi and the Japanese government, he continued to rule the territory under Japan without little to no complications. As the war dragged on, the Japanese continually battered and besieged the Chinese, until they managed to drive the Kuomintang completely from the coast, taking full control of it. A few key cities would occasionally switch hands, as Chinese “rebels” would take control, but the coast largely remained under Japanese control.<br/><br/>Starting in the Autumn of 1933, Japan felt secure in it's control of it's Chinese territories. In total secrecy, even from the Manchurian government, it moved the “Japanese Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Unit of the Kwantong Army” (aka, Unit 731) into Manchuria, where they began their horrific experiments under the guise of a medical unit for the army. The acts committed there were so secret, in fact, that only a handful of people close to the emperor himself knew of the unit's true purpose.<br/><br/>In the following years, Japan enjoyed a period of almost uncontested rule in China. When there were revolts, the Imperial Army was able to quash them with ease, and would make effort to make the rebels an example, throwing parades all throughout their territories to celebrate the defeat of another group of Chinese traitors. They were so focused on these small victories, however, that they neglected to pay any attention to the free territories in the West, where the instrument of their destruction was being brought to life. And when it finally decided to strike, the Japanese would be completely unable to stop it.<br/><br/>The Spring of 1954 was arguably the beginning of the end of Japan's rule in China. The invasion had all but slowed to a halt, as the supplies it had stockpiled at the end of the Great War were finally running out, and, while the Japanese government had the raw materials and manpower to create more supplies, it wasn't nearly enough for a prolonged fight against China. Rumor quickly spread among the troops in China that the government had given up the Chinese front, that they had been abandoned, and that the Chinese, like the dogs they were, could smell that. Many chalked it up to superstitious rumors, as they had no reason to doubt their government, and had proven time and time again the Chinese couldn't fight back. <br/><br/>But then the KMT proved them wrong.<br/><br/>Like dominoes, the Japanese Imperial holdings began to fall to the KMT, as the Japanese military could do nothing but attempt a meager defense before being completely overrun, with the remaining soldiers being forced to retreat, or be captured. Every once in a while, they could hold a location for a month, maybe two, but they just didn't have the supplies required to keep defending against the KMT. The Japanese could do nothing but pull back to Manchuria, losing even the heavily fortified trophy city of Beijing. Before they knew it, they had lost all holdings directly under the control of Hirohito, with only Puyi's Manchuria remaining. It was here that Japan was finally able to hold a front, which would be their border with the Chinese for the better half of the next decade.<br/><br/>The spring of 1957 would mark the event know in Japan as the Red Tide. Without warning, the Chinese Communists swept through Manchuria so fast, that by the time new orders could be relayed, three fronts would already be on their last legs. The Imperial Army was being humiliated, and could do nothing about it. Their soldiers had gotten used to a comfortable, easy life, and seemed to have forgotten how to fight properly when the Chinese arrived. Refusing to back down, back lacking the skills needed to defend their territories, the Japanese didn't stand a chance. The ease of the Chinese re-conquest ominously mirrored Japan's own ease in it's original capture from the Chinese years before. A tide of blood, washing over Manchuria and returning to Korea in place of the soldiers to which it belonged. Even unit 731 fell to the Chinese before they could escape, revealing it's secrets to those whom the Emperor wanted to see them the least. Disgraced beyond belief, the Emperor added one more stain to his record, pitting the acts of 731 on Puyi, and throwing him to the Chinese like a scrap of meat to a pack of starved dogs.<br/><br/>Soon, the declaration came out that Japan would no longer support the Manchurian government, and that all ties were severed, effectively surrendering to China without actually saying it. Shamed beyond belief, the Japanese government once again withdrew from the world, dealing with the mounting tension internally, as threats of rebellions across it's southern islands grew, and disgruntled soldiers constantly returned to civilian life, angry at themselves for allowing the Empire to be disgraced like it was. This period of time, now dubbed the Shadow Era, saw the collapse of Japan as the greatest power in Asia. Unable to keep rebellions down due to a quickly dwindling supply of soldiers willing to fight for the Empire, many of the small, previously European islands broke away from the Empire, while large scale revolts brought the Empire to it's knees in the East Indies and Papua New Guinea. Back at home, the people were continuing to lose faith in their government, and many were beginning to demand that Japan adopt communist ideas, feeling that they were what lead China to it's success over Japan. This idea was enforced even more, when China took Taiwan back from Japan in the Autumn of 1970. The following year, a Communist revolt started in North Korea, that eventually branched to Japan itself. Unable to fight in both Korea and at home, the Japanese government released the Pyongyang based government as an independent state, removing half of it's only remaining mainland territory from it's map. <br/><br/>The communists continued their revolts in Japan, taking control of everything West of Kyoto. Hirohito, who up until this point had already been struggling with his poor health, died due to the severe stress of the situation, leaving a vengeful son, Akihito, to take the throne. <br/><br/>Within the first couple of months as Emperor, Akihito saw his fathers government executed for treason, as they were unable to calm the rebellions while his father was unfit to rule. With the government positions open, he declared that Japan would hold it's first public election, due to the overwhelming number of communist supporters in the country, agreeing to abdicate to the communist government, should they win. While the people applauded the emperor's decision, he began to move behind the scenes, secretly appointing various members of the military to government positions, and beginning to plot the end of the Japanese Communist Party.<br/><br/>Three months later, a large rally was held by the JCP in Tokyo, where nearly every major person of the party was present, along with thousands of supporters. As they enjoyed their rally, and were distracted by the various ongoing of it, Akihito made his move. All of a sudden, soldiers appeared from every direction, completely blocking off the square in which the rally was being held. Helicopters appeared overhead, and tear gas was dropped into the middle of the crowd. From a nearby building, Akihito gave a command, and from all directions, bullets began to fly into the panicked crowd. One by one, the bulk of the Communist party was slaughtered, while Akihito and the heads of the military watched on. Following the the death of the final few members, Tokyo was put under martial law, and the crowd of citizens who has gathered in the surrounding streets were escorted home by soldiers, guaranteed that the situation was under control, and that they were safe. For a week, the city remained on lock down, as the bodies of the Communist Party members were removed from the city in secret. Any civilian who seemed outraged at what happened would end up missing the next day, and every household was questioned about the event, their involvement, if any, and whether or not they supported the communist party. Any who associated with the party in any way, whether it be a membership, or simply not supporting the governments choice, was also disposed of, along with the rest of their household. <br/><br/>Once all the bodies had been rid of, and all dissidents eradicated, martial law was lifted. A month later, a fake election was held, with Akihito's appointed ministers winning. Officially, the events that occurred were called the “Tokyo Incident”, though the civilians of Tokyo who had family and friends disappear knew it by another name. Gyakusatsu. The Slaughter.<br/><br/>In the following years, the Right-Wing parties of Japan took nearly full control of the country, as no left-wing parties dared oppose Akihito and his military cabinet. The Southern Islands were brought back under the Imperial banner by force, as military governors took full control of the islands governments. <br/><br/>For the majority of Japanese citizens, those who supported Akihito and his government, life was greatly improving. Various educational reforms passed, all men gained the right to vote, and the economy was in the best place it had been since Japan had been kicked out of China. Businesses flourished, and renewed trade brought the rest of the modern world to Japan once more. Birth rates were at an all time high, and most Japanese citizens could easily find work, including women, who had been granted the right to work by Akihito, at request of the Empress. <br/><br/>For those who publicly rejected Akihito and his government, however, life was very hard. Being caught speaking against the government was life-ruining. Even being on the other end of the political spectrum openly was enough to ruin you. Once caught, finding and maintaining a job was close to impossible, causing many to turn to a life of crime. This, of course, means that the Yakuza are also flourishing, and largely share an anti-government sentiment. <br/><br/>Finally, for those native to the Southern islands; Life is hell. The establishment of military control on the islands saw the natives forced from their homes, in order to make way for new Japanese districts on the islands. Natives, if caught anywhere near these districts, are arrested, and jailed in secret compounds, away from the public eye. Most live in terrible conditions, and those that live well live the lives of a poor Japanese citizen. The only work available to the Natives is hard manual labor, that pays at a rate barely enough to live off of, let alone feed and house an entire family. The Japanese government, in response too mass complaints from natives, designated parts of the islands “free” territories, where the natives are free to live as they like, very similar to the North American Indian Reservations. While life isn't the best in these areas, it's free from the strict regulations of the Japanese controlled zones.</div></div></div>"

They didn't say that it wasn't right for lame duck LBJ (who decided not to seek reelection at that point) to nominate a candidate, even Thurmond recognized LBJ was within his right as president to nominate someone. Well, LBJ backed off, Warren waited until the new president took office to retire, and Fortas eventually resigned because of that flap. Nixon appointed Warren Burger.

From its upper portion, from the galleries for citizens and journalists which rimmed it, it seemed even longer than it was, in part because it was so gloomy and dim—so dim in 1949, when lights had not yet been added for television and the only illumination came from the ceiling almost forty feet above the floor, that its far end faded away in shadows—and in part because it was so pallid and bare. Its drab tan damask walls, divided into panels by tall columns and pilasters and by seven sets of double doors, were unrelieved by even a single touch of color—no painting, no mural—or, seemingly, by any other ornament. Above those walls, in the galleries, were rows of seats as utilitarian as those of a theater and covered in a dingy gray, and the features of the twenty white marble busts of the country’s first twenty vice presidents, set into niches above the galleries, were shadowy and blurred. The marble of the pilasters and columns was a dull reddish gray in the gloom. The only spots of brightness in the Chamber were the few tangled red and white stripes on the flag that hung limply from a pole on the presiding officer’s dais, and the reflection of the ceiling lights on the tops of the ninety-six mahogany desks arranged in four long half circles around the well below the dais. From the galleries the low red-gray marble dais was plain and unimposing, apparently without decoration. The desks themselves, small and spindly, seemed more like schoolchildren’s desks than the desks of senators of the United States, mightiest of republics.<br/><br/>When a person stood on the floor of the Senate Chamber, however—in the well below the dais—the dais was, suddenly, not plain at all. Up close, its marble was a deep, dark red lushly veined with grays and greens, and set into it, almost invisible from the galleries, but, up close, richly glinting, were two bronze laurel wreaths, like the wreaths that the Senate of Rome bestowed on generals with whom it was pleased, when Rome ruled the known world—and the Senate ruled Rome. From the well, the columns and pilasters behind the dais were, suddenly, tall and stately and topped with scrolls, like the columns of the Roman Senate’s chamber, the columns before which Cato spoke and Caesar fell, and above the columns, carved in cream-colored marble, were eagles, for Rome’s legions marched behind eagles. From the well, there was, embroidered onto each pale damask panel, an ornament in the same pale color and all but invisible from above—a shield—and there were cream-colored marble shields, and swords and arrows, above the doors. And the doors—those seven pairs of double doors, each flanked by its tall columns and pilasters—were tall, too, and their grillwork, hardly noticeable from above, was intricate and made of beaten bronze, and it was framed by heavy, squared bronze coils. The vice presidential busts were, all at once, very high above you; set into deep, arched niches, flanked by massive bronze sconces, their marble faces, thoughtful, stern, encircled the Chamber like a somber evocation of the Republic’s glorious past. And, rising from the well, there were the desks.<br/><br/>The desks of the Senate rise in four shallow tiers, one above the other, in a deep half circle. Small and spindly individually, from the well they blend together so that with their smooth, burnished mahogany tops reflecting even the dim lights in the ceiling so far above them, they form four sweeping, glowing arcs. To stand in the well of the Senate is to stand among these four long arcs that rise around and above you, that stretch away from you, gleaming richly in the gloom: powerful, majestic. To someone standing in the well, the Chamber, in all its cavernous drabness, is only a setting for those desks—for those desks, and for the history that was made at them.<br/><br/>The first forty-eight of those desks—they are of a simple, federal design—were carved in 1819 to replace the desks the British had burned five years before. When, in 1859, the Senate moved into this Chamber, those desks moved with them, and when, as the Union grew, more desks were added, they were carved to the same design. And for decades—for most of the first century of the Republic’s existence, in fact; for the century in which it was transformed from a collection of ragged colonies into an empire—much of its history was hammered out among those desks.<br/>Daniel Webster’s hand rested on one of those desks when, on January 26, 1830, he rose to reply again to Robert Hayne.<br/><br/>Every desk in the domed, colonnaded room that was then the Senate’s Chamber was filled that day—some not with senators but with spectators, for so many visitors, not only from Washington but from Baltimore and New York, had crowded into the Chamber, overflowing the galleries, that some senators had surrendered their seats and were standing against the walls or even among the desks—for the fate of the young nation might hang on that reply. In the South, chafing under the domination of the North and East, there was a new word abroad—secession—and the South’s leading spokesman, John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, had, although he was Vice President of the United States, proposed a step that would go a long way toward shattering the Union: that any state unwilling to abide by a law enacted by the national government could nullify it within its borders. In an earlier Senate speech that January of 1830, the South, through the South Carolina Senator Robert Y. Hayne, had proposed that the West should join the South in an alliance that could have the most serious implications for the future of the Union. The specific issue Hayne raised was the price of public lands in the West: the West wanted the price kept low to attract settlers from the East and encourage development; the East wanted the price kept high so its people would stay home, and continue to provide cheap labor for northern factories. The East, whose policies had so long ground down the South, was now, Hayne said, trying to do the same thing to the West, and the West should unite with the South against it. And the Senator raised broader issues as well. Why should one section be taxed to construct a public improvement in another? “What interest has South Carolina in a canal in Ohio?” And what if Ohio didn’t want it? Why should the national government decide such issues? The sovereignty of the individual states—their rights, their freedom—was being trampled. The reaction of many western senators to Hayne’s proposal of an alliance had been ominously favorable; Missouri’s Thomas Hart Benton asked the South to “stretch forth” a “protecting arm” against the East. And to Webster’s first speech in response, Hayne—slight, slender, and aristocratic in bearing although dressed in a “coarse homespun suit that he had substituted for the hated broadcloth manufactured in the North”—had passionately attacked the North’s “meddling statesmen” and abolitionists, and had defended slavery, states’ rights, and nullification in arguments that were considered so unanswerable that the “white, triumphant face” of a smiling Calhoun, presiding over the Senate as Vice President, and the toasts in Washington taverns to Hayne, to the South, and to nullification reflected the general feeling that the South had won. And then two days later, on the 26th, Senator Webster of Massachusetts, with his dark, craggy face, jet-black hair, and jutting black eyebrows—“Black Dan” Webster, with his deep booming voice that “could shake the world,” Webster, Emerson’s “great cannon loaded to the lips”—rose, in blue coat with bright brass buttons, buff waistcoat, and white cravat, rose to answer, and, as he spoke, the smile faded from Calhoun’s face.<br/><br/>He stood erect as he spoke, his left hand resting on his desk, his voice filling the Chamber, and, one by one, he examined and demolished Hayne’s arguments. The claim that a state could decide constitutional questions? The Constitution, Webster said, is the fundamental law of a people—of one people—not of states. “We the People of the United States made this Constitution. . . . This government came from the people, and is responsible to them.” “He asks me, ‘What interest has South Carolina in a canal to the Ohio?’ The answer to that question expounds the whole diversity of sentiment between that gentleman and me. . . . According to his doctrine, she has no interest in it. Accourding to his doctorin, Ohio is one country, and South Carolina is another country. . . . I, sir, take a different view of the whole matter. I look upon Ohio and South Carolina to be parts of one whole—parts of the same country—and that country is my country. . . . I come here not to consider that I will do this for one distinct part of it, and that for another, but . . . to legislate for the whole.” And finally Webster turned to a higher idea: the idea—in and of itself—of Union, permanent and enduring. The concept was, as one historian would note, “still something of a novelty in 1830. . . . Liberty was supposed to depend more on the rights of states than on the powers of the general government.” But to Webster, the ideas were not two ideas but one.<br/><br/>When my eyes shall be turned for the last time on the meridian sun, I hope I may see him shining brightly upon my united, free and happy Country. I hope I shall not live to see his beams falling upon the dispersed fragments of the structure of this once glorious Union. I hope that I may not see the flag of my Country, with its stars separated or obliterated, torn by commotion, smoking with the blood of civil war. I hope I may not see the standard raised of separate State rights, star against star, and stripe against stripe; but that the flag of the Union may keep its stars and its stripes corded and bound together in indissoluble ties. I hope I shall not see written, as its motto, first Liberty, and then Union. I hope I shall see no such delusion and deluded motto on the flag of that Country. I hope to see spread all over it, blazoned in letters of light, and proudly floating over Land and Sea that other sentiment, dear to my heart, “Union and Liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable!”<br/><br/>Tears in the crowded Senate gallery; tears on the crowded Senate floor. “Even Calhoun,” it was said, “revealed the emotions he tried so hard to conceal. Love and pride of country—these were things he could understand, too.” Men and women were weeping openly as Daniel Webster finished. Among those men were western senators, ardent nationalists, who had “thrilled to the patriotic fervor of Webster’s final words.” Those words crushed the southern hope for an alliance with the West. They did more. Webster revised the speech before it was published in pamphlet form, trying to convert the spoken words, “embellished as they had been by gestures, modulations of voice, and changes of expression, into words that would be read without these accompaniments but would leave the reader as thrilled and awed as the listening audience had been.” He succeeded. Edition followed edition, and when copies ran out, men and women passed copies from hand to hand; in Tennessee, it was said, each copy “has probably been read by as many as fifty different” persons. “No speech in the English language, perhaps no speech in modern times, had ever been as widely diffused and widely read as Webster’s Second Reply to Hayne,” an historian of the period was to write. That speech “raised the idea of Union above contract or expediency and enshrined it in the American heart.” It made the Union, as Ralph Waldo Emerson would put it, “part of the religion of this people.” And the only change Webster made in those ringing last nine words was to reverse “Union” and “Liberty,” so they read: “Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!” Those words would be memorized by generations of schoolchildren, they would be chiseled in marble on walls and monuments—those words, spoken among those desks, in the Senate.<br/><br/>The long struggle of the colonies that were now become states against a King and the King’s representatives—the royal governors and proprietary officials in each colony—had made the colonists distrust and fear the possibilities for tyranny inherent in executive authority. And so, in creating the new nation, its Founding Fathers, the framers of its Constitution, gave its legislature or Congress not only its own powers, specified and sweeping, powers of the purse (“To lay and collect Taxes . . . To borrow Money on the credit of the United States . . . To coin Money”) and powers of the sword (“To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal . . . To raise and support Armies . . . To provide and maintain a Navy . . .”) but also powers designed to make the Congress independent of the President and to restrain and act as a check on his authority: power to approve his appointments, even the appointments he made within his own Administration, even appointments he made to his own Cabinet; power to remove his appointees through impeachment—to remove him through impeachment, should it prove necessary; power to override his vetoes of their Acts. And the most potent of these restraining powers the Framers gave to the Senate. While the House of Representatives was given the “sole power of Impeachment,” the Senate was given the “sole power to try all Impeachments” (“And no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of Two Thirds of the Members present”). The House could accuse; only the Senate could judge, only the Senate convict. The power to approve presidential appointments was given to the Senate alone; a President could nominate and appoint ambassadors, Supreme Court justices, and all other officers of the United States, but only “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.” Determined to deny the President the prerogative most European monarchs enjoyed of declaring war, the Framers gave that power to Congress as a whole, to House as well as Senate, but the legislative portion of the power of ending war by treaties, of preventing war by treaties—the power to do everything that can be done by treaties between nations—was vested in the Senate alone; while most European rulers could enter into a treaty on their own authority, an American President could make one only “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.” <br/><br/>As Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. was to write:<br/>The Founding Fathers appear to have envisaged the treaty- making process as a genuine exercise in concurrent authority, in which the President and Senate would collaborate at all stages. . . . One third plus one of the senators . . . retained the power of life and death over the treaties.<br/><br/>Nor was it only the power of the executive of which the Framers were wary. These creators of a government of the people feared not only the people’s rulers but the people themselves, the people in their numbers, the people in their passions, what the Founding Father Edmund Randolph called “the turbulence and follies of democracy.”<br/><br/>The Framers of the Constitution feared the people’s power because they were, many of them, members of what in America constituted an aristocracy, an aristocracy of the educated, the well-born, and the well-to-do, and they mistrusted those who were not educated or well-born or well-to-do. More specifically, they feared the people’s power because, possessing, and esteeming, property, they wanted the rights of property protected against those who did not possess it. In the notes he made for a speech in the Constitutional Convention, James Madison wrote of the “real or supposed difference of interests” between “the rich and poor”—“those who will labor under all the hardships of life, and secretly sigh for a more equal distribution of its blessings”—and of the fact that over the ages to come the latter would come to outnumber the former. “According to the equal laws of suffrage, the power will slide into the hands of the latter,” he noted. “Symptoms, of a leveling spirit, as we have understood, have sufficiently appeared in certain quarters to give notice of the future danger.” But the Framers feared the people’s power also because they hated tyranny, and they knew there could be a tyranny of the people as well as the tyranny of a King, particularly in a system designed so that, in many ways, the majority ruled. “Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as by the abuses of power,” Madison wrote. These abuses were more likely because the emotions of men in the mass ran high and fast, they were “liable to err . . . from fickleness and passion,” and “the major interest might under sudden impulses be tempted to commit injustice on the minority.”<br/><br/>So the Framers wanted to check and restrain not only the people’s rulers, but the people; they wanted to erect what Madison called “a necessary fence” against the majority will. To create such a fence, they decided that the Congress would have not one house but two, and that while the lower house would be designed to reflect the popular will, that would not be the purpose of the upper house. How, Madison asked, is “the future danger”—the danger of “a leveling spirit”—“to be guarded against on republican principles? How is the danger in all cases of interested coalitions to oppress the minority to be guarded against? Among other means by the establishment of a body in the government sufficiently respectable for its wisdom and virtue, to aid on such emergencies, the preponderance of justice by throwing its weight into that scale.” This body, Madison said, was to be the Senate. Summarizing in the Constitutional Convention the ends that would be served by this proposed upper house of Congress, Madison said they were “first to protect the people against their rulers; secondly to protect the people against the transient impressions into which they themselves might be led.”</div></div></div>"

Europe was devastated for the long war, the Netherlands was thankfully spared from the horrors of the trenches, of heavy bombardments, and tons of dead soldiers. That didn't mean that the war went by unnoticed. The Netherlands was faced with tons of issues that still affects the country to this very day.<br/><br/>At the start of the war, they made it clear that the country wanted to be remain neutral. The surrounding countries respected that wish; but as the war was getting worst, rumors began to surface that Britain planned to invade the country. To ensure that Britain or any other country invades, the Netherlands mobilized their army as two hundred thousand men marched to fortresses like the Waterlinie and the Defense Line of Amsterdam. The navy they started to patrol in the waters of the Dutch East Indies <br/><br/>The German Empire soon invaded Luxembourg and Belgium to invade Northern France. The German General Governorate of Belgium was established by the German Empire as about one million Belgians fled to the Netherlands. The government started on building small camps for refugees all over the Netherlands. Refuge relief was a major financial burden—costing 37 million Guilders. <br/><br/>Then, there were blockades all over the English Channel, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. As a trading nation, the Netherlands was hit the hardest with the blockades and trade restrictions. Rationing and Bread coupons were introduced after refugees came into the country from Belgium. The allied nations put heavy restrictions on the Netherlands, because they were still trading with the German Empire. They even tried to stop trading between the nations, but their attempts failed.<br/><br/>And their colonies (mainly the Dutch East Indies) were forced to close off trading with Europe and tried to trade in their own region instead. Shortages in the Netherlands rose as cotton, tobacco, tea and pepper were harder to get. Many colonists rose against the government as the war was taking too long to finish. The economy from both the colonies and the mainland suffered until the war ended. The 'Great War' lasted for a long time as it became more pointless.<br/><br/>When the war finally ended in 1925, many people didn't know what was going to happen to the world now. Britain hid from the world, Germany was fighting against their own revolution, France was in ruins, and the powerful Austria-Hungarian Empire fell apart. The Dutch government started trading with the nations, in hopes of putting the broken pieces of Europe back together. However, the East Indies among with the rest of the Dutch colonies had revolted against their ruler.<br/><br/>The East Indies were annexed by the Empire of Japan, crushing all in hopes of regaining control of the colony. Netherlands is in a better position than it was fifty years since the war ended, but they are still fixing their economy. With the war between Spain and the Pan-African Empire going on, the Dutch government is watching the simulation and planning for the future.</div>"

This is a Europe after all where the Germans re-instated the Emperor and where in Russia the czar maintained power until his assassination in the 70's, followed by intense collapse of the Russian government as well as the state as a whole. I'd probably go out on a limb and suggest that a large-scale gay-rights movement might be treated in-part like advocacy of communism as much as mixing the races in marriage was in America in the 1960's, and American civil rights in this RP is still in the 40's or 50's.<br/><br/>Hell, I don't think there's even been a Sexual Revolution in the same sense as the 1960's counter-culture that could even be used to build up the importance of gays in a political sense.</div>"

The problem is that twentieth century music is built heavily on American style. Without the American styles we are used to, what would have been prevelant? Classical and folk music? If we had decided to follow a safe and believable pattern, I suppose you'd have Jazz in the US (or rock if that evolution took place), a sort of mass-market Spanish folk in Spain, and more traditional versions of local music traditions everywhere else. <br/><br/>But Aaron and I jumped the track a bit and imported American styles into our respective countries early on, and that seems to have become a general theme. So now there is a sort of Africanized version of Dixie Land Jazz in Africa and the Mediterranean, Robert Johnson-esque Blues Guitar in China, and a sort of watered down Tommy Dorsey type big band in Spain. Byrd has also referenced some sort of early rock music type thing that seemed an awful lot like Ritchie Valens. <br/><br/>What would that mean for Europe? I dunno. I'm trying to imagine some sort of protest polka. Since we've already established American styles elsewhere, you could use them here, though I'm not sure full-out Bowie stuff would sell yet. <br/></div>"

Anxiety over perceived German aggression in their colonies pushed the fledgling republic into the arms of the Allies and on the 9th of March 1916, war was declared by Germany and the Central Powers. Unlike other countries in Europe at the time, Portugal did not see heavy action in the trenches of Belgium and France. Several divisions were sent to France but the main Portuguese front lay in Africa, particularly in Portuguese Mozambique and southern Angola, where German spies instigated a native rebellion. As the war dragged on into the 20's, morale grew low and a mutiny in Mozambique saw Portugal relying heavily on the British for support in Africa.<br/><br/>When the war dragged to a halt in 1925, the small Iberian nation was under extreme pressure, both at home and in Africa. With debt eclipsed the economy, inflation smashing all records and a growing independence movement in Portuguese Africa, it was almost unsurprising when a military junta overthrew the government for the second time in 20 years. In 1934, the Junta cheaply sold Angola to the highest bidder (Germany) and the worlds first global empire breathed its last just two years later with the sale of Mozambique. The remnants of the Empire were slowly swallowed up in the decades that followed. <br/><br/>Democracy was restored in 1942 and the Second Portuguese Republic was declared shortly after the elections. The peaceful transition of power restored faith in democracy and many looked to the future with hope. Portuguese national pride had been severely hurt under military rule, with imperialists and republicans alike decrying the Junta's ""careless sale of the empire"". Portugal became protective of what it had left - Macau. Subsequent governments went to great lengths to assimilate the small Chinese city into the country, painfully aware of the burgeoning communist movement engulfing China at the time. The city finally fell into Chinese hands in 1956 and was subsequently annexed. Portugal refused to formally recognise the annexation of Macau and still sees the city as occupied territory. However, the small nation has failed to rally support behind its claim on Macau and the Macau Question is still up in the air to this day.<br/><br/>As the fifties dragged into the sixties, Spanish influence in Portugal began to increase. The Portuguese viewed their ally's tremendous rise with glee and strengthened ties with the Spanish, hoping to gain the support of a world power in their claim on Macau. Communism had grown quite unpopular in portions of Portuguese society, particularly among politicians and business-owners, who feared similar communists to those who invaded Macau springing up in Portugal. The Republic co-opted Spain's anti-socialist laws and could often been found nipping at the heels of their ally in times of international tension or decrying the rise of socialists in Brazil.<br/><br/>In the early 70's, the Spanish began taking a keen interest in their own sphere of influence. In particular, Portugal. They played on the fears of Portuguese society with a secretive false-flag operation, in which the media, people and government were sent into a frenzy due to reports of socialists rioting in the streets of Lisbon and Porto.  President Alejandro dos Santos, acting on behalf of the government, requested Spanish assistance in cracking down on the reds. The socialists were quickly put down but the Portuguese became extremely concerned at the large numbers of Spanish troops stationed in their two largest cities. After a month of high alert from the Spanish and Portuguese militaries, Alejandro dos Santos was invited to sign the Ibiza Treaty, that would assure preparedness and provide for mutual assistance civil unrest, disaster relief, and certain military operations between the two countries. Thus, the Iberian League was founded (though somewhat reluctantly by Portugal).<br/><br/>Since the signing of the Ibiza Treaty, Portugal has seen military action in Italy and several scandals have surfaced regarding the true loyalties of several politicians. Many in Portugal see the Iberian League as closer cooperation between Portugal and Spain but some politicians see it as invasive or even outright illegal. The current government, under Prime Minister Salvador Macedo and interim President Roberto Pacheco(Alejandro dos Santos allegedly died of a self-inflicted gun-wound six months before), have enthusiastically supported Spain and followed its anti-leftist doctrine to the tee. Members of the opposition party have decried the current administration as corrupt yet Prime Minister Macedo has continued polling high.<br/><br/>As of 1980, Portugal has not yet followed Spain into war but the army has been mobilised in preparation. Some within the Portuguese parliament have displayed their dissatisfaction with the current foreign policy, bemoaning the fact that their country is little more than a puppet state in the eyes of the world. Macedo, a popular figure in Portugal and Spain, has shouted the opposition to silence and will continue to follow the current policy. The dissatisfaction led to a narrowly won no-confidence vote and the government are currently drawing up the declaration of war against the Ethiopians, to the horror of their opponents. Macedo, however, is determined to take his slice of Africa in the coming war and refuses to allow his opponents any leeway in getting what is rightfully Portuguese.</div></div></div>"

Seeing as Portugal is so trapped under Spanish control, I can't imagine they'll be particularly important on the world stage but if I'm going to get back into PoW, I should do it with a country that can get involved in the action.<br/><br/>Anyway, bleh: <br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Second Portuguese Republic"" type=""button"">Second Portuguese Republic [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none""><span class=""bb-b"">Nation:</span> ""The Second Portuguese Republic"" or ""Portugal""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Leader:</span> Salvador Macedo (PM) <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">History:</span><br/>The Portuguese Republic, still fresh from a coup ending 800 years of monarchy, stayed neutral in the opening stages of the Great War. Anxiety over perceived German aggression in their colonies pushed the fledgling republic into the arms of the Allies and on the 9th of March 1916, war was declared by Germany and the Central Powers. Unlike other countries in Europe at the time, Portugal did not see heavy action in the trenches of Belgium and France. Several divisions were sent to France but the main Portuguese front lay in Africa, particularly in Portuguese Mozambique and southern Angola, where German spies instigated a native rebellion. As the war dragged on into the 20's, morale grew low and a mutiny in Mozambique saw Portugal relying heavily on the British for support in Africa.<br/><br/>When the war dragged to a halt in 1925, the small Iberian nation was under extreme pressure, both at home and in Africa. With debt eclipsed the economy, inflation smashing all records and a growing independence movement in Portuguese Africa, it was almost unsurprising when a military junta overthrew the government for the second time in 20 years. In 1934, the Junta cheaply sold Angola to the highest bidder (Germany) and the worlds first global empire breathed its last just two years later with the sale of Mozambique. The remnants of the Empire were slowly swallowed up in the decades that followed. <br/><br/>Democracy was restored in 1942 and the Second Portuguese Republic was declared shortly after the elections. The peaceful transition of power restored faith in democracy and many looked to the future with hope. Portuguese national pride had been severely hurt under military rule, with imperialists and republicans alike decrying the Junta's ""careless sale of the empire"". Portugal became protective of what it had left - Macau. Subsequent governments went to great lengths to assimilate the small Chinese city into the country, painfully aware of the burgeoning communist movement engulfing China at the time. The city finally fell into Chinese hands in 1956 and was subsequently annexed. Portugal refused to formally recognise the annexation of Macau and still sees the city as occupied territory. However, the small nation has failed to rally support behind its claim on Macau and the Macau Question is still up in the air to this day.<br/><br/>As the fifties dragged into the sixties, Spanish influence in Portugal began to increase. The Portuguese viewed their ally's tremendous rise with glee and strengthened ties with the Spanish, hoping to gain the support of a world power in their claim on Macau. Communism had grown quite unpopular in portions of Portuguese society, particularly among politicians and business-owners, who feared similar communists to those who invaded Macau springing up in Portugal. The Republic co-opted Spain's anti-socialist laws and could often been found nipping at the heels of their ally in times of international tension or decrying the rise of socialists in Brazil.<br/><br/>In the early 70's, the Spanish began taking a keen interest in their own sphere of influence. In particular, Portugal. They played on the fears of Portuguese society with a secretive false-flag operation, in which the media, people and government were sent into a frenzy due to reports of socialists rioting in the streets of Lisbon and Porto.  President Alejandro dos Santos, acting on behalf of the government, requested Spanish assistance in cracking down on the reds. The socialists were quickly put down but the Portuguese became extremely concerned at the large numbers of Spanish troops stationed in their two largest cities. After a month of high alert from the Spanish and Portuguese militaries, Alejandro dos Santos was invited to sign the Ibiza Treaty, that would assure preparedness and provide for mutual assistance civil unrest, disaster relief, and certain military operations between the two countries. Thus, the Iberian League was founded (though somewhat reluctantly by Portugal).<br/><br/>Since the signing of the Ibiza Treaty, Portugal has seen military action in Italy and several scandals have surfaced regarding the true loyalties of several politicians. Many in Portugal see the Iberian League as closer cooperation between Portugal and Spain but some politicians see it as invasive or even outright illegal. The current government, under Prime Minister Salvador Macedo and interim President Roberto Pacheco(Alejandro dos Santos allegedly died of a self-inflicted gun-wound six months before), have enthusiastically supported Spain and followed its anti-leftist doctrine to the tee. Members of the opposition party have decried the current administration as corrupt yet Prime Minister Macedo has continued polling high.<br/><br/>As of 1980, Portugal has not yet followed Spain into war but the army has been mobilised in preparation. Some within the Portuguese parliament have displayed their dissatisfaction with the current foreign policy, bemoaning the fact that their country is little more than a puppet state in the eyes of the world. Macedo, a popular figure in Portugal and Spain, has shouted the opposition to silence and will continue to follow the current policy. The dissatisfaction led to a narrowly won no-confidence vote and the government are currently drawing up the declaration of war against the Ethiopians, to the horror of their opponents. Macedo, however, is determined to take his slice of Africa in the coming war and refuses to allow his opponents any leeway in getting what is rightfully Portuguese.</div></div><footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/chapatrap"">@Chapatrap</a></footer></blockquote><br/><br/>GODFUCKINGDAMMITYOUCHEEKYCUNT<br/><br/>Nobody wants to play with me in the mountains. :(</div>"

I read an article from Der Spiegel that discussed a study by German universities in this new trend and they seem to in part agree: pain is alleviated, blood pressure is lowered, and the aggressive immune system that causes joint pain is briefly calmed down to provide relief.<br/><br/>Their only caution is they don't know how much is  too much, but they did a double test on volunteer interviews with participants in radon-spa goers and exposed mice to low doses of radon.<br/><br/>What does this mean for PoW?

It's primarily geared towards gamers who want a third-party voice chat platform without using in-game voice communication or Steam's often-times described ""poor"" voice features.<br/><br/>It also doesn't hog CPU use so you can play video-games with it on without murdering your RAM. You might maybe use it while playing Verdun (where player-to-player chat is restricted to text in the spirit of the old-school comp shooters it's based off of) or DayZ which'll demand a lot of RAM and where the voice-chat is restricted to the local area because like in the spirit of ARMA that sort of thing is all supposed to be a simulator of real-life, so you talk very locally or use radios to shout at people across the map.</div>"

That was a product of my stupid assumption that I needed to keep my options open and that getting too specific a degree would be a bad idea. Realistically the opposite is true. One of the problems with our education system, albeit it is a minor one, is that you are sort of pointed in the direction of generalized degrees. Hell, you see that with people who get Math Degrees or Biology degrees, where they assume it is a difficult sciency subject so there will be jobs a-plenty, but the reality is they are too general for a job market that rewards specialization. Yet for whatever reason there isn't much of a structure in our education system to point people toward career based programs. I had some excuse because I started school before the recession, but even now you talk to kids and their college plans are very often pretty generalized. <br/><br/>I don't think there is an academic degree though where the degree is in itself the key to success. You might be able to enter a career program that'll do something on its own, but with degrees it seems like it has to be part of a larger career plan. Hell, the advice i've given people since has been to the tune of ""Fuck college, go to technical school or get a certificate in something."" <br/><br/>As for Graphic Design... I can't help but think that's one of those things that'll be automated soon. Weird thing to say, but all you got to do is near-automate copy for advertising firms and that job scatters. That's going to be the big problem going forward; what careers won't be automated, what careers will be flooded as automation takes hold, and what (if any) careers will survive or thrive in a post-automation world? Either way, I don't expect the 21st century to be as economically stable as the 20th was, and I suspect most people are going to be stuck thinking on their toes. </div>"

I'm planning on doing History and a language in university not for the job prospects but because I'd rather spend my early 20's farting around Europe, doing something I find interesting than studying a subject I detest just for a decent job afterwards (that'd I'd be unlikely to get in Ireland regardless).<br/><br/>I'm not disparaging graphic design or psychology, they can be good stepping stones to get into good fields if you know the right people. Any form of degree looks better on a CV than a ""I flunked out of Maths in University because I was shit at it.""<br/><br/>By the time we're all dead and gone, I reckon most of the western world will have lower working hours, higher wages and legal retirement ages dropping into the 50's, so it all really doesn't matter in the long run. </div>"

It's been mostly concerned regionally and doesn't have so much an emphasis on world revolution has it had been with regional revolution and Anti-Europeanism (to such and such that it has actively attempted to ban European faith in China, or Christianity; Islam has sometimes gotten caught in that drag-net).<br/><br/>A lot of it is invested in the personality of Hou who had basically buried himself in his work for his own reasons. For the passed twenty years he micro-managed the country to keep it well within his vision. Elections are possible in China, and they do happen. But through that passed twenty years Hou's position hasn't been challenged until he decided to retire until just now.<br/><br/>Technologically, I don't know. The country has been largely self-isolated from the wider world, but I think that might be considered a wider trend in some ways. China just took it to an extreme. Things don't tend to get out of the country unless the party wishes and no one gets in easily, the last persons to access the country got shot down in their helicopter. But whatever tech advancement they make can be looked at as being sort of asymmetrical, with a current emphasis on aerotech and comms (for their development of what we'd know as transistors).<br/></div>"

Given that since it was largely a single-party state with a large degree of hegemony among it I don't know how well parties would have worked. But fast-forward it to the eighties and you'd have an election spirit with Hou opting to step down. To that effect you would have:<br/><br/>The Houists - These'd be the ""centrist"" communists that have long ruled under Hou under the pretense of an official ""Zero Party"" policy, but in reality were an invisible national party. Hou Sai Tang was their leader and their ideology reflects a good deal of Sinocentralism with broad social liberty.<br/><br/>Auyi Clique - The clique associated with Zhang Auyi, the third Agricultural and Social minister, a young and spry ""liberal""-communist reformer. He might be more in line with democratic election principles with a heavy dash of socialism. War is to this clique a means to reinforce China's moral obligations as opposed to maintaining some sort of empire (ie, ally defense).<br/><br/>Xhu Clique - Associated with the long-reigning Ministry of industry, the Xhu Clique is probably most closely compared to old-school and hard-core Maoism or general Bolsheveikism. Absolutely atheist they're likely to want to enforce a stringent policy of social uniformity and absolute rejection of everything bourgeoisie. War to them is a fulfillment of ideological principle otherwise retired by the Asia-only Houists and only brought to light for morale reasons by Auyi. They would march Europe if given the chance.<br/><br/>If you needed a fourth then I would have to maybe say the old Imperialists or the Nationalist-Republican old guard. But they're so irrelevant to China they basically don't exist so their support might as well be 1%-1%&gt;<br/><br/>The other parties could be shown with either equal splits with Housim though at the head. Failing any sort of traditional elections you could tie it to a series of events where at the end Mang Xhu or Zhang Auyi is elected Chairman of New People's China.</div>"

Since this mod starts in the 1980s, the resources available to some nations will be increased.<br/><br/>The main nations getting a resource buff is: South America,(Except former european colonies. They're getting a nerf.) China,(A lot is needed here) India, Persia(again, a lot needed here), and Africa.<br/><br/>Nerfs will be dealt to Russia and the USA, but these can be reversed should a strong united nation manage to bring their people together through their national focus trees.<br/><br/>The question is, though, is if I should expand the national focus trees to the point where say a nation like China has to go through the same thing. Instead of just getting a flat buff to it's resource output.<br/><br/>For example, in the base game, Italy has the option to increase it's infanstructure in several locations. Eventually leading to them developing oil industries in Libya.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Hider"" type=""button"">Hider [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none""><img src=""http://i.imgur.com/CLLJE7d.jpeg""/></div></div><br/><br/>Would you all rather just have flat buffs, have to work to develop it(Similar to Rice and Roads), or a mix of both?</div>"

I'm afraid if everybody started at a relatively even point the entire paradigm would shift out of what PoW has and become something similar to the real world. You could give the northern European countries a nerfs in the form of ""Scars of the Great War"" or something like that. Likewise, give America ""Isolationism."" and Russian half-states ""The Chaos."" And likewise, you'd need to buff the Spanish and Chinese economies to make sure they can pull off. At the same time you'd probably want to be able to develop those countries too, so I guess a mix of both with a mind to make sure the AI produces something sorta like what we've produced?<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">Probably not even in the RP's life-time.<footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/dinh-aaronmk"">@Dinh AaronMk</a></footer></blockquote><br/><br/>This is true but HoI4 allows you to pretty much decide to have a revolution or coup in your country that replaces the government to the type you like, so might as well allow that function for the mod. I don't think the AI takes those options on purpose (I only fucked up the beginning of two games though so I dunno), so assuming the AI won't take those fastforward options a tiny KMT option might not be a bad idea. It'd be interesting at least. </div>"

China didn't want to tolerate its existence so performed an abrupt about-faced turn with Japan to drive the Turks out. Part of the deal was acknowledgement that China owns Taiwan and the partitioning of Korea.<br/><br/>So since we so long ago decided to remove the New Guinean invasion from the lore, and since we realized partitioned Korea is sort of undefendable we came to the conclusion the Chinese would have straight up driven out the Japs and established a Beijing-friendly Korean government for all Korea.<br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="""" frameborder=""0"" height=""279"" src=""//youtube.com/embed/WjV2EErPHdg?theme=dark"" width=""496""></iframe><br/><br/>Having said that, I'll have to nuke all mention of Nor Kor and replace it with Korea on the Wiki.

He ran it for a few months and I was elected as its new leader. I led Precipice up until somewhere in 2011 when I decided to take the RP and jump-ship. It had also in a way been sort of in a coma state for a while before.<br/><br/>But on the Spore Forums (Sporums) I and Vilage ran with a clique (the Emoticones) that protested the mods who were left to enforce the rules of the forums after the admins straight-up disappeared. They created a system of rotating week-long bans to suppress people they disapproved of and basically went about that thing that creates bad communities around franchises: create and encourage an echo-chamber.<br/><br/>Ironically I count myself a friend with an old mod from there, Slyth. He's left the forums behind and might - like me - check up on it and is shocked that some of the old moderating faces still try to moderate it and expresses a morbid fascination that the key mod that Vilage and I weren't on good terms with, BlackBird stuck around so long. Another, named Slime still moderates too, but we think that's just because he's an unemployed Greek youth.<br/><br/>The RP on the MCF lasted a long-ass time. But yea, things started to get iffy when the administration there tried to reel things in. In retrospect I think these things were done to sort of make a space for all the young people getting into Minecraft could come and connect and marked the beginning of the trend where Minecraft became a thirteen year-olds play pen as opposed to the trendy adult hipster's sandbox. So the change is rules reflected a sort of change in demographics.<br/><br/>Still: all the same we were at the bottom of the list in the off-topic section and were rather ignored. But then the admins totally deleted the politics sub-forum and re-negged on a compromise for a swearing filter and enforced absolute censorship on foul language that still exists (I just had my rotating signature removed because an admin noticed it contained vulgarity).<br/><br/>The ship was sunk for PoW when the attention of the admins directly came to RP. We had managed at the time to get a stickies chat thread which became the RP hang-out for old-fags and new. Admittedly at the time we were shitposting and spamming for amusement with some other folk. But probably because Hugs posted and joined in without doing anything, he got murdered and Feo forced from office and several of us banned outright. The sticky was unstuck and locked and it wasn't until there was a campaign in the last days of our twilight time there that the admins capitulated and brought it back.<br/><br/>And fast-forward to 2016 and I end up playing MvM by complete random chance with one of the people who took offense with out existence.<br/><br/><img src=""http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/262717416892341166/183010E8DC79E66ECCECC332849DB4E17804FD27/""/><br/><br/>We didn't talk about it, and I didn't bother with spamming, ""WE KNOW"" in chat.</div>"

Not something easily forgotten. Life gets in the way but every once in a while I beat it back - in this case I took a bunch of adderall to help me study at about 6 pm today but it didn't kick in until 1 am, so after getting out of bed and aggressively cleaning my room for an hour I started texting someone I know about starting a D&amp;D group and somehow the conversation shifted to nerdy things we'd done as kids. I mentioned PoW and she asked to see so I went digging around our old MCF posts and was instantly like shit it has been far too long. <br/><br/>So here I am. It's 4 in the morning and I'm way more hyperactive than I should be, but if the only way to beat back life is to take amphetamines and not sleep then that's cool I guess. How's everybody doing?

Some of them from Chessia, others from a completely different world, where magic is a thing of stories. The Chessboard Rebellion has just gained the advantage over Crucin. Chessia is about to be cast into chaos. (Keep in mind that you don't have your weapons or your powers yet.)<br/><br/>John awoke in a clearing. ""What the hell!"" he exclaimed.

At this point he was still the only one awake. What was that in the distance? Was it shouting? Marching? Just a figment of his imagination perhaps.

The Chessboard ruled over the citizens of Chessia, known as pawns, and peace was held for years. That is, until the Era of Crucin. Crucin and his army struck Chessia from nowhere, eliminating the Chessboard and seizing control for himself. Many brave souls wanted to fight back, and they formed the Chessboard Rebellion. One of the members of the rebellion, a wizard by the name of Vitria, discovered a prophecy. The prophecy told of the return of the Chessboard in the form of 10 youths, each with the control of one element. And it seems Vitria's prophecy was correct. Because today 10 children were discovered in the forests of Algeran and were brought to the headquarters of the Chessboard rebellion.

She puts everyone else's needs before her own and she will go out of her way to help people. She generally is very passive and keeps out of arguments though she will, at times, leap into one to try and calm everyone down; without any regards to her own safety. She is very shy to people she doesn't know but once she gets to know someone she is very bubbly and gentle. She hardly ever yells or raises her voice and in the midst of violence she tends to flee to somewhere quiet. She enjoys reading or drawing and does so to calm down, though she hardly ever shows her drawings to anyone. Nori is very insecure and is full of doubts about herself. She gets flustered very easily and tends to stutter and blush before she finally just gives up and hides her face. She hates making people upset and tends to become upset herself, and in most cases crying and apologizing.<br/><br/>Nori never knew her parents well. When she was just two years old they died in a car crash, leaving her in the care of her 19 year-old brother. He raised her the best he could although his girlfriend of five years stepped in and helped when Nori got older. One day she had been shopping with her brother when she lost him in a crowd. She got lost very quickly and wandered for what seemed like hours, eventually and surprisingly finding her way into Chessia.<br/><br/>(Open crush)<br/><br/>She has an older brother.<br/><br/>Chessboard</center><br/><br/><center><img src=""http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120811184605/fairytail/images/f/f2/Flower_girl_wearing_a_cute_dress.jpg""/><br/><br/>Zaara<br/><br/>15<br/><br/>Flora<br/><br/>A bow:<br/><img src=""https://d1ij7zv8zivhs3.cloudfront.net/assets/366624/view_large/df164e692381351f73c0375b69ff0caf.jpg?1276971713""/><br/><br/>To others Zaara appears cold and unfeeling but those are her walls, her defenses to keep everyone out. She's been hurt so much her entire life that she stopped trusting people, stopped letting anyone into her heart. She is really a sweet and shy girl but she is so insecure about herself she hides behind a wall of ice. She doesn't want to be hurt again so she acts cold to keep people away. But she gets really lonely and depressed though she doesn't let anybody see.<br/><br/>Even before Zaara was born her mother expressed extreme dislike for her child. She never wanted to have one and she would have had an abortion if not for her husband forcing her not too. Her mothers dislike grew into hate when Zaara was born and she didn't resemble either of her parents. Her mother from then on said that Zaara was not her child and she didn't want to have anything to do with her. Zaara's father raised her, considering her mother couldn't stand to be in the same room with her daughter. Zaara put on a brave front, acting like her mothers actions didn't hurt her but she cried herself to sleep every night wondering what she did to make her mother hate her so much. Zaara's life turned for the worst when her father died in a car crash. The family had been driving to the beach for Zaara's birthday when Zaara remembered she had forgotten her bear. She never went anywhere without it so she begged her father to turn around. He did and was across an intersection when a man ran the red light and slammed right into them. Her father was killed instantly, since it had been on his side and Zaara and her mother were only bruised with some cuts.<br/><br/>Her mothers dislike turned into hate and she took out her anger on her daughter, abusing her with words and, when she turned nine, with fists. No one ever suspected a thing because Zaara hide the bruises. On Zaara's tenth birthday her mother disappeared all day, leaving the ten-year old at home by herself. That night her mother came home smelling of alcohol. She saw Zaara and immediately flew into a rage, hitting and kicking at her daughter, not even stopping with the little girl was on the floor curled into a ball. Someone heard and came in, stopping her mother from beating her daughter anymore. Zaara was taken from her mother and was forced to live with people she didn't know. When she turned 15 she ran away and some how ended up in Chessia. <br/><br/>(Open crush)<br/><br/>She has no family alive.<br/><br/>Chessboard</center>"

Being intrigued as he was, on performance day-he was standing at the front of the crowd. They did all sorts of things from juggling fire to walking along tight ropes and other dangerous feats... Towards the end of the performance the fellow announcing everything asked for a volunteer and then pulled him from the crowd. He was shocked of course and admittedly a little excited.. The guy had him toss bowling pins to him to juggle and at one time he managed eight, without dropping a single one. After the performance was over the same man asked him to join the circus...

He was born to dig and mine and was the prodigy at both. There was nothing more he liked than waking up, eating a biscuit and getting to work in the mine. He worked at such a pace that people were actually telling him to slow down as to not embarass the other dwarves or accidentally dig into a water spout. Soon enough, Kurgaz grew tired of the slow pace he was forced to work at. He made a decision and stuck to it, he would dig his way upwards and outwards. He would find a new mountain and make it his new home, far away from the rules and restrictions set in place by the Dwarves at his home mine.

Today marked a big day for the league as they were opening their doors to some of the world’s top young heroes.<br/><br/>For Garth, this was another culmination in what has been successes in his life. From being a young man in Florida unsure of his destiny, to helping bring a revolution to his real home, and becoming prince of the underwater utopia with his newly adopted father Orin also known as Aquaman. Garth had worked alongside his adopted father for years, making sure he also gave his land adopted parents his love and attention as well. Today though was a culmination of everything, to be able to join Aquaman as a proud member of the Justice League.<br/><br/>Garth was ecstatic as he stayed around the corner of the front entrance, leaning against the concrete wall as he looked over at Red Arrow and Batgirl. Two fellow young heroes who were also joining the hallowed halls that were good friends he had met over the years. “Ah isn’t this exciting?” Garth asked, the beam in his smile practically radiating off of him. “We finally get our own recognition!”"

Making sure the mask was on his face properly as he saw the people with cameras. For the first time in weeks he smiled. Since striking out on his own Roy had almost forgotten what it was like. He breathed deeply, looking over at their mentors who were just talking to each other."

Batgirl didn't like it one bit. As a member of the Bat-Family, she preferred the dismal embrace of the night. She only had comfort when engulfed by shadows and---<br/><br/>""Hey Batgirl, can I get a picture?"" a young fan shouted.<br/><br/>""Of course!"" she jovially replied, striking a cute pose and blowing the fan a kiss. Ok, so she was having fun. But still, she found teams to be rather vexatious. As a member of the Bat-Family, she was a lone wolf. Better not to have any teammates slow her down. Unless it was her bff Supergirl. Or Wondergirl, or Red Arrow, or Aqualad... ok so she wasn't such a lone wolf after all. But people had expectations from someone donning the cowl. She had to maintain the image, she had to be dark, mysterious, and---<br/><br/>""Batgirl, Batgirl over here!"" This time she stretched her arms out, extending the her cape out to create the bat silhouette as dozens of cameras snapped pictures. So much for dark and mysterious.<br/><br/>""I'm sure more will show up. Well, I hope more will show up. Can't have a party with only three"" she said in response to Red Arrow. ""You guys think Beast Boy will show up? How about Zatanna? I love her outfit!"" In her excitement Batgirl almost went into full fan-girl mode, but quickly recomposed herself into her ""cool"" Dark Knight mode."

Brooklyn wasn't as bad as this. And finally, to the giant crowd of people in front of an equally giant head quarters. Sure, superheroes saved lives and all that, but the amount of publicity they were currently getting was just overkill. It was an obscene amount that made James give an internal cringe. He'd have to try harder today to maintain his stoicism and nonchalant attitude, if only to keep from completely succumbing to the carnal urges raging inside. If there was anything he currently wanted to do the most, it was to slap each and every damn one of those flashing devices out of the hands of every civilian currently gawking at the costumed heroes and heroines about to get initiated into some kind of... team, or something. It was nauseating and not because he was an antisocial, sociopathic bore—Bucky didn't mind people in a moderate amount—it was because there were so many people and so many things happening at once. He really did feel like releasing the contents of his stomach all over the sidewalk.<br/><br/>It seemed Steve caught the twisted look on Bucky's features and a large hand caught the kid's attention as he looked up at the Captain. Arching a brow, his eyes fell on the hand then back to Steve's blue eyes in bewilderment.<br/><br/>""Are you okay, Bucky? Nervous?"" Steve bent down to his height as he spoke, smiling reassuringly at Bucky.<br/><br/>Nodding, he shifted his gaze to the side, ""I'm fine.""<br/><br/>""Are you su—""<br/><br/>""Yes, Steve,"" Bucky snapped, ""I'm perfectly fine.""<br/><br/>The Captain paused, looking at his charge for any shift in expression, almost wondering how to respond to such a blatant disregard to his authority. Of course, being dutiful didn't mean being a complete stickler, especially not in regards to an old friend. Steve simply smiled and planted his hand on Bucky's back as he pushed him forward slightly.<br/><br/>""Alright,"" he started, gesturing in a different direction with his head, ""I guess you're fine enough to get to know some of your new friends, right?""<br/><br/>Inhaling sharply, Bucky looked up in protest, but made no move to stop. He did, however, vocalize his disagreement, ""They aren't my... friends.""<br/><br/>""Not yet, they aren't.""<br/><br/>""Sure,"" Bucky mumbled, leaving his Captain to converse with his fellow teammates as he lumbered off to find his own.<br/><br/>Planting himself far enough away from what seemed like a trio, Bucky shoved his hands into his pockets and looked off into the distance. He'd work with them for now, but getting chummy with them would take time. People tended to forget that the boy was still acclimating to his surroundings. The initial culture shock had warn off, but that didn't mean Bucky knew what the hell a damn iPhone was for or how to grasp the nature and complexity of just how far technology had come since the 40s. The people were as much alien to him as the current century's society was, so making friends with strangers was kind of a big deal for Bucky and kind of a hard one, at that. So, he made do with seeming like he was just unbelievably cold, almost too good for conversing with his teammates, though that was far from it. Better they think of him that way, than of someone needing to be babied, though. If he wanted to get used to society on his own, then he'd have to figure this out for himself.<hr/><center><b> William ""Billy"" Kaplan<br/>Wiccan<br/><i>Fangirling All Over the Place</i></b></center><br/><br/>Was that Batman?<br/><br/>Holy crap.<br/><br/>And... and Captain America?<br/><br/>Tony Stark?!<br/><br/>If only he could just touch one of them, just once—<br/><br/>Oh God, Thor and Superman.<br/><br/>Was it even possible to have that kind of muscle mass and still be able to wear that tight of spandex? Or was it latex? Or what even was that fabric? God, he wanted to know so badly. He wanted to touch it, to feel it, to.. .to...<br/><br/>""Who're you?""<br/><br/>Billy's head snapped to the side, having been taken out of his own ruminations and daydreaming by what seemed to be a rather gangly looking adult apparently sizing him up. Arching a brow, he turned toward the man to better respond to him and to peel his attention completely away from the various men in overly tight outfits. Ahem. He opened his mouth to talk, but was immediately cut off by the man's second comment. Comment because it was obvious the question was rhetorical.<br/><br/>""And what kind of outfit is that? The hell are you supposed to be? Some weird variation of Thor?""<br/><br/>Well, of course he wouldn't have been noticed, not like he tried to stand out anyways—that was furthest from what he wanted to do. But, this kind seemed to be blatantly insulting him. What kind of outfit? He thought it was obvious that it wasn't some cheap knock off or something; the fabric and material was legit and the design was more intricate than most costumes of the same variation, even. And Thor? Really? He looked nothing like the guy. Of course, what was he going to say? It wasn't like anyone had heard of him or anything and he obviously hadn't done much to accomplish anything. In fact, he had no damn idea how he was currently standing where he was, about to become a part of a team of superheroes who were probably leagues more accomplished than he was.<br/><br/>Oh, there it was again.<br/><br/>It wasn't the man's comment that seemed to get to him, but it certainly looked that way—or maybe it was the man's fault. Billy had turned his sights away from the guy, knitted his brow and was almost frowning as he began fiddling with his own hands. How wonderful. He was beginning to doubt why he was even there in the first place, beginning to worry about things that shouldn't have even been accounted for in preparing for something like this. Billy had gotten asked to join and that was that; there was no ifs, ands, or buts about it. But, here he was, letting a man's comment further slice into any shred of confidence he had in himself and let him plummet and fall into a sea of doubt.<br/><br/>Finally, however, Billy came to his senses, gave the man a glare and proceeded to walk to where a small group of what looked to be people around his age forming. It was most likely the people he'd be further working with. Arriving, he could finally put names to faces... or rather, masks and one face.<br/><br/>""Batgirl?"" Billy asked, tapping the girl's shoulders with a wide grin on his face. It seemed any thoughts prior to seeing one of the famed Dark Knights, aside from Batman himself, had completely vanished in a flurry of fanboy glee.<br/><br/>""Oh wow,"" he could barely breath, ""Hi, hi! Billy Kaplan. Uh. Yeah. Hi! Wow. Is that outfit the real deal? Did you make this? Or did Batman? Or was it someone else? If forgot. Just... oh my God. Oh, is that a real utility belt? What's all on it... is that where you keep all those things with bat nomenclature? Can I see a batarang? Or... or...""<br/><br/>He was projecting way too hard. He had to tone it down a lot. Like, a lot, a lot. Be the actual Billy Kaplan instead of the overly nerdy, super touchy, apparently, Billy that he was currently being. He'd effectively manhandled Batgirl, of all people, and intruded on her personal space way too hard, especially as a damn stranger.<br/><br/>""I'm really sorry,"" he stepped back a bit, cheeks a deep, deep crimson, ""I'm William Kaplan, and I'm a part of the crew, if that wasn't obvious enough—I guess I gave off the maniac vibe a little too hard, there. Sorry, again."" This time, he distanced himself from the female and held out his hand for her to shake, giving his best smile to ward off the anxiety creeping at the back of his mind."

She struggling to open her eyes, her eyelids felt very heavy. She felt something jab her in the gut.<br/>“Rise and shine sleeping beauty.” Clint said, poking her in ribs with the end of his bow. “You don’t want to be late…” He said. Kate groaned, straining to get her eyes open she looked at the clock. 1:09 PM came into focus.<br/>“What day is it today…?” She moaned.<br/>“The 4th.” Clint answered emphatically. As Kate’s vision focused, she saw Clint was in his Hawkeye getup. “Of July.” He added. Kate bolted upright.<br/>“AW CRAP!” She shouted and leapt out of bed. Clint just put down the fresh mug of coffee down on the counter and walked out. Kate rushed around the room in a panic. Her bed hair made her look like the bride of Frankenstein. She grabbed her Hawkeye costume and pulled it on.<br/>“I told you not to stay up too late.” Clint mused outside her door. Kate ignored him as she emerged from her room, strode across to the bathroom and stuck her head under the shower. The water was cold, but Kate just made sure just her hair was wet before turning the tap off and dried it with a towel.<br/>“Where’s the nearest Zeta Beam?” She said as she walked into the hall, attacking her long black hair with a brush.<br/>“I thought you didn’t like…” Clint said.<br/>“I’ll marry whichever one gets us to DC.” She said moving past him. She threw the brush into the bedroom and grabbed a thin purple scrunchie and did her hair into a ponytail. “Well come on!” She shouted. Clint sighed and looked at the mug of coffee on the bedside table.<hr/><b></b><center> Present time. <br/>Justice League HQ<br/>Washington DC.</center><br/><br/>Roy was taken back; he had never seen Batgirl acting so… giddy as she posed for photos. He felt something heavy drop in his stomach as he looked around. Many of the adults had crowds of people wanting photos and autographs, even Green Arrow. He still had a long why to go it seemed. He turned his attention back to Batgirl, realising too late she had apparently answered him.<br/>“Err yeah… sure.” He said. Just nod Harper… He thought. Thankfully some Thor fanboy tapped her on the shoulder. The boy had to be sixteen or something.<br/>""Hi, hi! Billy Kaplan. Uh. Yeah. Hi! Wow. Is that outfit the real deal? Did you make this? Or did Batman? Or was it someone else? If forgot. Just... oh my God…” Rambled the boy, who was talking so fast Roy was amazed he could even breathe. Roy thought for a moment, he had heard that name before. Then his jaw dropped. The kid was Wiccan, from what Roy knew he was easily one of the most powerful people in the whole building. Possibly even the entire planet. He took a deep breath. At least he was on their side. He turned to look for Garth, hoping he wasn’t busy talking to somebody when he saw a scowling individual in the corner. He was wearing a mask and had what appeared to be bionic arm. Roy couldn’t believe it, he thought Ollie had been joking, but there he was. Bucky, the same Bucky who had thought alongside Captain America during the war. Roy met his guise. Roy couldn’t help but feel like he was staring down a growling German Shepard. He walked closer and found his voice.<br/>“Hello there.” Roy said as he walked over. “Roy Arrow… Err Red Arrow.” He said nervously, hating himself for mixing his names up, only to realise the hand he had extended would mean Bucky would have to use his bionic hand to shake his."

Someone who Garth had heard of, young magic using guy out of New York. Lot of heroes were coming out of that area weirdly. Roy was over with another semi-familiar face. Bucky Barnes, a WWII hero alongside Captain America, though with his looks and actions he hardly seemed to share his mentor’s charm and non-frightening aura. Leaving Garth by himself, some of the people there, girls mostly, were calling for him to sign things. Which he eventually went over and did, though one of them said he looked like someone from Avatar: The Last Airbender, causing Garth to sigh. He’s had this haircut for years, long before that stupid show came along. Why couldn’t people say everyone in that show look like him instead of vice versa.<br/><br/>...Well Garth did still like the show but the point stood.<br/><br/>Glancing around bored Garth decided to just see how much longer they would be until they’d be able to go in. Garth wandered up to the adult heroes, who were gathered around but seemed to be in a pretty serious conversation. Leaving Garth too curious to not listen in…<br/><br/>“Captain with all due respect, we can’t just deal with whatever petty issues Wolverine has.” Batman told Captain America, body tucked away in the cape as he still had his intimidating demeanor, even in broad daylight. “Perhaps but if what Logan says is true, we can’t discount any of it.” Iron Man noted from behind Batman with a finger raised. “Either way, we need to keep a very close eye on this 'Weapon X’ program until we know for sure what they have planned.” Professor X had chimed in. “Err, hold on a second.” Aquaman finally had glanced over, seeing Garth standing there.<br/><br/>“Yes Garth? Did you need something?” Aquaman asked, leaning over a little to Garth’s height. “Well how much longer until we can get in?” Garth asked, shrugging his shoulders. “Well…” Aquaman sighed looking around. “We’re just waiting for the other heroes, both young and old…” “Hawkeye…” Iron Man nearby had coughed spurting out the hero who was amongst those missing currently. “Yes… him included.” Aquaman noted aloud. “But when everyone’s here we’ll let all of you in for the first time.” Aquaman had turned back to the others, all clearly hesitant of saying much more of this ‘Weapon X’ ordeal with Garth right there. Garth took his cue from it, leaving the group and returning over to the fellow young heroes."

The sudden abrasive tones of the alarm clock forced him awake. Rising from bed he slung on the closest T-shirt whistling to himself. Peter could hear his aunt downstairs, ever since Uncle Ben had died she'd started waking up extra early to ensure Peter had a productive day, there were few people who cared for him more than Aunt May did. Fortunately for Peter school was out at the moment which meant all the more time as Spider-Man. Aunt May was still blissfully unaware of Peter's secret identity and he intended to keep it that way, he had to for her own safety; If aunt may ever found out she'd go all 'it's too dangerous' and 'I've already lost your uncle' and the last thing Peter wanted to do was incur May's wrath.<br/><br/>Tossing his backpack containing 'science project stuff' over his shoulder Peter strode downstairs eating his food with zeal the likes of which the Parker house-hold had never seen. Immediately heading for the door Peter turned to his Aunt and with a goofy grin on his face yelled. ""I'm off to meet friends, I'll be back for dinner."" May smiled in her own knowing maternal way and responded. ""Peter, don't forget to buy milk!"" Peter simply nodded and took to the streets.<br/><br/>Ducking into an alleyway mild-mannered Peter Parker changed into Spider-Man. Today was a very important day for Peter, he was finally being accepted into the greater superhero community; after years of being slandered by 'The Daily Bugle' as a menace it was about time Spider-Man got the respect he deserved. Swinging through the streets with several whoops and hollers several civilians stopped to film the young hero on their cell phones.<br/><br/>Seeing the crowd gathered outside the headquarters a smile crept across Peter's face beneath the mask that hid his identity. A few bright lenses flashed at Peter but these weren't enough to throw him off his stride as he landed with a somersault in front of the headquarters. ""Sorry I'm late folks, I had important Spider-Man only business to attend to."" Peter flimsily bluffed."

I'm honored to meet you.""<hr/>The closest Zeta beam station had been a phone booth a few blocks away. Kate growled as she hurried across the street. At least once she granted inside she would be allowed to use the zeta beams directly to and from the HQ. She was panting as she forced her way through the crowd.<br/>""Excuse me..."" She said. ""Pardon me..."" She forced her way through the crowd. Only for said crowd to imminently part as Hawkeye strode up.<br/>""Yes thank you."" Clint said. He smiled for a few photos, only to grit his teeth when someone called him ""Purple Arrow"". Kate rushed up the steps and reached the door. Looking through the glass, she could see everyone. Among them Aqualad, Wiccan, Batgirl and some of the adult heroes inside. She wiped her brow.<br/>""Whoo... made it!"" She said with a smile. She went to go in but slammed into the door. ""What the?"" She grunted. ""Who the... LOCKS THE...! GAH!"" She said while frantically trying to open the door. Clint joined her and just reached over her shoulder, grabbed the handle and pulled.<br/>""Push, not pull."" Clint said. Kate pouted as she moved inside, only to bump into Peter.<br/>""Oh sorry!"" She said before looking at him properly. ""Oh great. I'm later than Spider-Man!"" She shouted. ""Tell me you Zeta Beamed here!"" She asked. Clint sighed as he walked past them, joining the adults.<br/>""About time you showed up Hawkeye."" Green Arrow said. Clint just glared at Oliver for a second.<br/>""I would have been here sooner... But someone didn't want to get out of bed this morning."" Clint said looking back at Kate. Who had her head in her hands, as it dawned on her that Spidey beat her here by Web Swinging. Clint sighed.

But still she was glad to meet a fan and fellow cape.<br/><br/>She couldn't help but smile when she saw him blush, and shook his hand firmly when offered. ""Nice to meet you Billy.

Despite their similarities, Batgirl didn't tag along with Batman all that often, not as much as any of the Robins. ""The suit's bullet proof and stab proof... mostly.

The young adult was pulled back into the harshness of reality at the sight of a news helicopter above, no doubt broadcasting the momentous occasion all around the world.

Wolverine and the professor were also here along with several other heroes, including Batman and Captain America. Superman was also there but instead of admiring him, Jubilee was afraid of him. Then again so was every other vampire out there since Superman got his powers from the sun making him the perfect Vampire Slayer. If Jubilee drank superman blood she would probably combust into flames. Then suddenly the crowd screamed as they saw the boy wonder jump down into the centre of all the heroes.

His gaze never faltered as he looked down at the person who introduced himself, a Red Arrow.<br/><br/>Well, he was going to work with him for quite a while, it seemed, so insulting him may be unwarranted, as would brushing him off. A coworker with a vendetta was just as bad, if not more so, than a vindictive villain, though Bucky couldn't attest to that... just yet. He was edging awfully close, though, and his new 'coworkers' per se, may not appreciate his aloof, cold demeanor. But, Bucky wasn't above warming up to a few people, it just took time, especially after what had recently happened to him. And Steve did his best to accommodate his needs, as well as his space—he knew him best, after alll; and thus, knew how best to handle him.<br/><br/>So, Bucky, despite not taking the offered hand gave Red Arrow a quick nod.<br/><br/>""James Buchanan Barnes,"" he finally responded, ""Or Bucky. Whatever suits you best.""<br/><br/>With that, he gave a sigh and turned around to, once again, find the Captain.<hr/><center><b>William ""Billy"" Kaplan<br/>Wiccan<br/>Best Day Ever</b></center><br/><br/>""Oh, I'm technically a mutant,"" he responded with a grin, ""Can't really hide from that, superhero or not. People treat me differently than you all, so a secret identity isn't a commodity I can quite have. A name like Wiccan just serves as a title attesting to my specialty!""<br/><br/>Billy did his best to restrain himself when she previously explained what all her gadgets did, but he was still having a hard time not going totally crazy in the midst of legends. The day, so far, was going gloriously and he had his powers to thank for it. Oh, if not for his damn genes, he'd probably be back home probably doing the same thing he was now, just up close and personal with the TV, and not the actual things. What more, he was going to get to work with people just as acclaimed—well, maybe a tad less. Batgirl's raging fans seemed to disprove that the kids behind the masks weren't as good as their adult counterparts.<br/><br/>Youth sells.<br/><br/>Of course, Billy didn't quite think so highly of himself. From where he was standing, Billy was not better than the girls that cried for autographs and pictures in comparison to the beings standing before him. There was something inside him, he knew, that could be great, but Billy saw it more as a hazard to be tamed and pushed back, rather than a gift to be shared and used. Sure, teenagers, especially those instilled with powers of various kinds, had all the reason to doubt themselves, as they were still inexperienced, but most tended to grow out of that, in order to flourish in the real world. Billy was just on the extreme side of that spectrum.<br/><br/>However, more people were corralling in the area, particularly future colleagues and heroes and all that weight that had hit him prior to coming here, had once again settled with a great strength in the pit of his stomach and the back of his throat. Billy gave a deep breath, smiled at Batgirl, and waved himself away.<br/><br/>""Guess they're about to call us up, or something,"" he mumbled, now attempting to survey a spot behind everyone where he'd cause the least trouble, even if he wasn't the troublemaking type—precaustions, simply."

Hank usually didn't have time for this sort of humour, but he needed allies and friends to make a good image on the media so this guy was a good place to start. He admired his skills with the web swinging and slinging, He let a slight smirk break as Peter touched his attenae and as Spider-man jumped off he decreased in size to meet other people. ""Signing autographs isn't very Spider-like either?""<br/><br/>He smirked and walked off when he saw a guy with a bandana try to hide behind him and Spider-man. ""You must be Wiccan?""

It was fairly non-eventful, Captain America and Superman shared the honors as they talked about the Justice League’s recent things, introduced each of the young heroes that up their new ‘Young Heroes Initiative’, and spoke about their plans and goals as a group for the upcoming year. Each of the young heroes got a chance to be introduced, say a small speech at the podium, little stuff, nothing amazing. Aqualad had one prepared, it wasn’t anything special but it meant a lot to Garth. Crowd paid attention, gave him a nice response.<br/><br/>As the press conference ended all of the young heroes were wrangled together, and after being given their Justice League ID passes, what looked to be fairly normal passes. Only created through Stark Industries and featuring things like instant fingerprint detection. With electroshock defense if someone picks it up that doesn’t match the heroes prints. Garth could only look on quietly as they started to enter the doors. In awe of finally seeing the incredible building up close. He had always seen it, heard about it from his mentor, but seeing it in person was an entirely different beast.<br/><br/>“Of course, with your new memberships, you now have full access to the gym…” Captain America had taken the young heroes personally to explore the headquarters. “Of course the library as well.” As they came in Captain America gave a welcoming gesture to the small crowd. “Go ahead take a seat, make yourselves at home.” Garth quickly took a seat in one of the leather chairs in the room, already very much enjoying himself as he leaned back, man this thing was comfy. Before Captain America could continue Batman, Green Arrow, as well as some other more grown heroes came up. “Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we need to have a debriefing on this subject matter Wolverine wants to go into.” Batman reminded Captain America. “Alright very well.” The Captain had turned to Batman and the others, Garth remembering instantly what the topic was. “Weapon X…” He muttered to himself quietly."

The guy clearly still needed time. As Roy turned around he bumped into Kate, who had been staring up at the giant Hank’s backside.<br/>“Watch where you’re oh… It’s you.” She said. Roy and Kate stared at each other before laughing and fist bumping. “I see you met Bucky.” She said. Roy shook his head.<br/>“If you could say that…” Roy said. Kate just shrugged.<br/>“Clint said he’s still suffering culture shock. Or maybe he just doesn’t like you.” She said teasing.<br/><br/>Roy brushed her off before they were called up and forced to stand on a stage while Cap and Superman took turns making the same long speech about “The New Generation of Justice.” Roy looked at the others; the only one who seemed like they wanted to give a speech was Garth. Not that he could see the look on Spider Man’s face. Roy just spun a quick yarn, paraphrasing what he and Ollie had talked about when he decided to stop being Green Arrow’s sidekick and become his own hero as Red Arrow. The crowd seemed to eat it up. Even if he heard a few smart-alecky remarks to the effect of “Speedy was such a stupid name anyway… it made no sense!” Roy just returned to his spot in the line and did his best Batman impression. Kate walked up to the podium and shrugged.<br/>“I’m not much for making speeches.” Then she turned around and stood next to Spidey. “There you go webhead.” She whispered as the crowd laughed. “Warmed them up for ya.”<br/><br/>Finally after the whole thing was over they were given their own ID cards. Roy smiled. “Finally we’re getting somewhere!” He said aloud, twirling it in his fingers. Before admiring the holographic image of himself. “Neat…” He said looking at it from different angles.<br/>“Of course the library as well.” Captain America said as he showed them around. Roy crossed his arms, he already knew this. “Go ahead take a seat, make yourselves at home.” Roy looked around. Everyone had taken a seat. There was a muffled sound as he looked at one of the chair, it had been Kate.<br/>“It was the chair I swear.” She said to no one in particular. Roy just looked at the adults. Superman, Batman, Cap, Iron Man, Hawkeye and GA among others were clearly up to something.<br/>“…We need to have a debriefing on this subject matter Wolverine wants to go into.” Batman reminded Captain America. “Alright very well.” The Captain nodded. Roy felt anger surge through him. He knew this wasn’t the real HQ. Iron Man was just about to open a door marked “Justice League Members Only” Roy clenched his fists and took a few steps forward past the chairs.<br/>“THAT’S IT?” He said loud enough to break the silence and the adults all turned to look at him. Roy stood his ground and looking at GA in particular. “You promised us a real look inside. Not a glorified backstage pass!”<br/>“It’s a first step. You’ve been granted access few others get…” Aquaman said in a matter of fact manner. Roy rose an eyebrow before looking up at the large glass window full of tourists and their flashing cameras.<br/>“Oh really? WHO CARES WHAT SIDE OF THE GLASS WE’RE ON?” Roy shouted, gesturing at the window. GA stepped forward.<br/>“Roy… You just need to be patient…” He said, trying to defuse the situation.<br/>“What I need is respect. You’re still treating me like a kid!”<br/>“Speedy I…” GA said, fumbling his words.<br/>“AH! I knew it!” Roy shouted and pointing at him. “If you had it your way I’d still be sharpening your arrows!” Roy growled.<br/>“Red Arrow. “ Boomed a voice. “Blowing up like this is not going to help you.” It was Captain America. He put his arm in front of GA to stop him taking another step. The ‘good captain’ had a very intense stare; Roy gulped as he could see where Bucky had got it from. “You may think you’re ready, Green Arrow highly recommended you for membership. But you must understand…” Cap said with authority. Roy’s nostrils flared, Cap was talking down to him. He hated being talked down to."

I Just Got Here</b></center><br/><br/>The day suddenly turned a rather slow note, one Bucky was content to stay completely silent for. He kept his eyes on the others, quietly and attentively taking in their own view on the situation at hand, and in turn their personalities. This was an interesting bunch full of aspiring heroes, maybe a little too much on the immature side. Some weren't taking this as seriously as he supposed they should have. Wasn't this supposed to be a big deal? But, Bucky wouldn't say anything, and how could he standing their looking like a ruffled up guard dog, waiting for his shift to be over so he can find a nice spot to chew a bone or something of that caliber. Whatever. He wasn't in the mood for coming up with any better allegories, especially with his Captain droning on, and on over this whole initiative deal. The public got it, so there was no need to continue to personify the glory and freedom that these young lads and lasses would hold up and the something or other with the virtue of the entire nation and world and what-have-you. Bucky frankly could care less after the first round of his ""USA! USA! USA!"" speech. Not that he didn't care that he was upholding some nifty values and protecting the lives of the innocent, but when you go on and on about it, it tends to nullify any excitement one might have had beforehand.<br/><br/>Of course, now they were supposed to give the crowd a little something in return, as if to introduce themselves to the collective. Bucky wasn't one for speeches and certainly not of the caliber or grandiosity of either the Captain or Superman. In fact, when it was his turn to say something, Bucky sauntered up to the podium, gave one look at the crowd, shrugged, and turned away, much to the public's dismay. Did they really need another hero to put upon their walls? Was it necessary with all of them already spread across the entire world? Honestly, Bucky would rather not have so much publicity and would rather do his job both by himself and in a privacy only he can provide. Apparently, now that he was apart of the team, neither of those things were going to happen. Not that he could complain, lest he incur the wrath of Steve on a bad day.<br/><br/>As they passed through, Bucky lulled into his own fantasies, letting things drift by as they were spoken or showed to them and nodding when necessary. It was necessary he pay that much attention, as he had no intention of doing anything outside his room, the kitchen, and the gym on days off. But, what did spur a teeny bit of interest was Roy's outburst and his inherent dislike of anyone's condescending tone. Guess the kid didn't realize that they were all still technically kids... inexperienced and not lacking the skill that their superiors had. It brought a slight smirk to Bucky's face, especially when Roy's scene had tested Steve's patience.<br/><br/>""You're certainly acting like one,"" Bucky chimed in at the 'kid' retort, rolling his eyes and finding his place against a wall, ""Best not to sugar coat it, Steve, we're all ears. I certainly don't give two craps how you treat us; just don't lie.""<br/><br/>""Bucky..."" Captain turned his attention away from Roy for a moment.<br/><br/>""No, no,"" Bucky shook his head as he spoke, ""I'm being serious: give it to us straight. Unlike prissy britches over here, we can take it. We're kids. We don't have a lick of experience compared to you guys, so don't sugar coat it with your 'Greater Good' talk and act like your our parent. Mine are long dead and I certainly don't need someone acting like my father.""<br/><br/>""James Buchanan Barnes,"" Captain stood at his max height as he looked down at Bucky.<br/><br/>""There you go again. I don't need this... shit, Steve. You can treat me like a kid all you want, but you can't treat me like your kid,"" Bucky hissed, pushing himself off the wall and turning to walk into the hallway, ""Come get me when you decide to tell us the important crap. I'm done<i>playing</i>hero.""<hr/><center><b>William ""Billy"" Kaplan<br/>Wiccan<br/>That Escalated Quickly</b></center><br/><br/>""Uh, you can call me Billy,"" Billy introduced himself, slightly taken back by the Ant-Man's bravado. But this was<i>the</i>Ant-Man he was talking to, so almost in an instant his fanboy was showing. Though, he stuffed all the giddiness deep down, even if it was relatively hard next to Hank and Spidey, just to be able to grab his hand and shake it. Someone heard about him? Really? Holy Jesus.<br/><br/>""You... you heard of me?"" Billy voiced his thoughts, trying to hide his ecstatic smile, ""That's amazing. I mean, I've heard of you, and Spidey, and Batgirl, and Aqualad, and... and you get the gist. I'm sorry, I get excited when I meat actual heroes.""<br/><br/>His giddiness was immediately shut up by the commencement of the press conference, to which he paid extremely close attention toward. That and how tight Captain America's suit was.<i>Whoa, Billy, calm down...</i>he thought, taking in a sharp inhale as he turned his attention back to the crowd. He could very well listen better this way. And oh, did it send shivers down his spine. He was an actual hero now. Amazing. Not even. More like—he simply couldn't express himself. But, this was it and boy did it feel great to be standing up there instead of down there. Billy was just as much a part of this team as any of the others, no more or less, of course he didn't at all feel on par with anyone else, despite that.<br/><br/>Speeches, though? They were supposed to what? That took a turn for the worst.<br/><br/>""Uh,"" he muttered as it was soon his turn to step up to the podium, ""I didn't know we were supposed to make a speech.""<br/><br/>Staring a little too long at the crowd, Billy raised his arms up in defeat and did his best to smile, albeit sheepishly. ""Sorry, folk, don't got anything,"" he spoke shakily before turning and taking his previous position in the line. But, it soon ended and his heated face was no longer in public view as they were finally given access to Justice League HQ, which was beyond anything Billy could have ever imagined. Not only was he displaying his love and affection toward the simple ID given to everyone, he was visually and ecstatically taking in everything they past, from the simplest things like vases and pictures and whatnot, to the grander things. Billy was currently in a world of his own, though he made sure to lag behind a bit, so as not to bug anyone with his incessant touching and ogling. Not the best impression he could make, so he made sure no one was burdened by his need to go crazy over anything and everything superhero-esque.<br/><br/>When things finally relaxed and Billy found a nice chair get comfy in, things really didn't get to relax and only escalated further, but on a different spectrum than what Billy's high was currently on. Though, it did bring a deep frown to his face as he looked on. He'd not give input because his opinion didn't necessarily matter, but he felt for Bucky Barnes and even Red Arrow, to some extent. But, he had to agree, they were all still kids, pretty much and there was no sense avoiding that. Billy was only sixteen, for crying out loud and he was certainly acting like it, or was. However, there was certainly more to the debate that was underlined in Red Arrow's tone, though Billy didn't want to pick up on it, nor did he want to chime in like Bucky did.<br/><br/>There was no telling how much this was going to carry on, so Billy turned his attention to someone more amiable. Batgirl, looked like she was at least somewhat calm... under her mask... maybe.<br/><br/>""Uh... h-hey,"" he whispered harshly her way, cupping his hands so his voice carried further, ""That escalated quickly, huh?"""

Unlike them Batgirl was prepared for giving a speech, she was always prepared for the mission at hand. She talked about how the mask is meant to show that anyone could be behind it, and that you don't need powers to be a hero. Not all too original but it worked.<br/><br/>When they were finally allowed to enter they all received little id passes that Batgirl found a bit silly. The picture on the card was pretty useless considering most of them were masked. And the fingerprint detection won't do any good with her gloves on. And she wasn't about to take them off anytime soon. As Captain America gave them the tour Batgirl pretended to pay attention. The facility was nice but she didn't see herself utilizing it that much.<br/><br/>When they all finally had a chance to sit down things got loud pretty fast. Both Roy and Bucky got worked up over what Batgirl thought was nothing. Did they really think they were gonna be part of the league just like that? Of course the older heroes were gonna treat them like kids, even Batman does it; which is why Batgirl hardly ever works with him anymore. The way she saw it, its better if they did their own thing rather than try to get into the adults' little club. The only reason she was there was to show the populace that all the good guys were working together. Rather than get caught up in what sounded like very personal arguments between young heroes and their mentors, Batgirl just waved at the window of tourists trying in vain to assure them the team wasn't a complete mess.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

Listening to Captain America and Superman deliver their speeches sent shivers down Peter's spine, these men were his idols, everything he aspired to be and to hear them address him and the other heroes was a huge honor.<br/>While Aqualad delivered a potent speech many of the others seemed to opt-out. The Winter Soldier, Roy Harper, Wiccan and Hawkeye all left the crowd wanting and it was left to Peter to bring them back. As Kate walked past Peter just laughed at her pretending to wipe a tear from his eye ""You've got such a way with words."" Approaching the podium Peter cleared his throat. ""Uh, howdy ladies and jelly-spoons. I'm your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Unlike Hawkeye I actually put effort in and prepared a speech so here goes nothing. Before I was a hero I was told some wise words, and those words have become a mantra of mine. These words were 'with great power comes great responsibility', now that can be taken into any part of your life, through joining this team we all gain in power, yet I personally vow that with this power I will do everything I can to ensure the streets are safe."" Peter then did a sort of mock-bow as he backed away from the podium.<br/><br/>As they were handed they're security pass Peter fumbled to try and attach it to his costume eventually finding a way to stick it on sideways adjacent to his trademark emblem. Sitting in a small leather chair Peter attempted to stay out of the drama Red Arrow and WInter Soldier were causing. As Roy yelled about not being kids anymore Peter felt a slight sense of deja-vu.

Wiccan frowned at his sudden outburst and the spilling of some juicy secrets. It wasn't too much of an issue for him, especially since he understood that they were still kids and being an actual superhero, doing things like stopping Doomsday or Apocalypse from consuming the entire world was far above their league—and pay grade. Billy just wondered why they kept it a secret. Why not just come clean to 'em? That was the ultimate reason he frowned, but aside from that all he could do was nod in understanding. Roy just reacted to things with a little more emotion and bravado than most of the others and he could see the realization twisting on Bucky's face, but from where Billy sat, he seemed to realize and understand the situation better than Roy. To Billy, it only strengthened his self-conscious feelings about himself, though it didn't show on his face.

And unknown caller and definitely not his parents about to condemn him for being a mutant.<br/><br/>""Hello? Who is this and how can I help you?"" he mumbled into the receiving end of his touch phone, just realizing he should be slightly perplexed at having been called by a random stranger. How did this person even get his number? Was it... a bad guy? Already? Holy crap...<hr/><center><b>James Buchanan Barnes<br/>Bucky<br/>Better Than Nothing At All</b></center><br/><br/>The base they were currently standing in wasn't the real one. That kind of made sense. But why keep it a secret?<br/><br/>Bucky could only stare at Steve the minute Roy was done accosting him.<br/><br/>""I agree with Billy,"" he finally said, calming slightly, but still disappointed in his Captain, ""Why keep it a secret? I'm sure there would only be one person here irked about it. Now it just seems like we're liabilities in Halloween costumes, rather than the children we actually are."" His eyes fell onto Red Arrow as he continued his charades.<br/><br/>There were way too many secrets being thrown around like they were nothing. How was he, of all people, supposed to adjust to a world that wanted to hide itself from him? Couldn't he have his cake and eat it too, or was that way too much of a hassle? And to think, he really did trust Steve most out of everyone currently alive on the planet. There he went, though, crushing that like it didn't matter. Like he couldn't handle that they were being kept from the real HQ. Billy was right: it was the fact that they kept it a secret from them that was the issue. No one, at least at that moment, seemed to care that they were being put at the kiddy table on Thanksgiving; it was the fact that they were told that the kiddy table was actually the adult table and the the adult table was hidden far, far away from their wondering eyes. Weird analogy, but Bucky wasn't currently at his best.<br/><br/>""You know what? I really don't care anymore. If we're liabilities, we're liabilities. Just don't expect much of what you say anymore to hold as much ground as before. I think I speak for everyone when I say that,"" Bucky threw his hands in the air, directing his words at Steve as he spoke. With that, he left the group to find a nice, quiet place in the supposedly fake headquarters. Maybe to collect his thoughts before they decided to finally give them a mission. At least the building blocked the screaming fans and clicking and flashing cameras that were locked tight outside. Once he found a nice, solitary room, it'd just be him and his thoughts. A very nice change from what just happened to what was went on moments prior."

GA just side eyed Clint before walking over to Roy.<br/>“We talked about this… being part of this team will be good for you… But if you want to go solo… I won’t stop you…” Oliver said in a fatherly sort of way. Roy thought for a moment.

He had seen Roy being in this mindset, and he knew exactly what Roy was considering as the next plan of action. Getting up from his chair he quickly got up to Roy, pulling him around so they were face to face. “Roy, before you say another word, listen to me.” Garth told Roy, looking at him with his piercing black eyes. He spoke quietly and carefully, not trying at all to get into Roy’s already frayed nerves.<br/><br/>“What they did was inexcusable. No one would deny that.” Garth confirmed to him. “But if you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking. You need to stop for a moment, we can go outside, take a breather, just give us a moment a relax.” When Garth tried to get Roy to move though it felt like Roy’s feet were stuck to the ground like concrete. “Come on Roy, stop and think here.” Garth sighed a bit getting back face to face. “Don’t do something you might regret. We can prove ourselves to them just give it a bit of time.”"

At the moment, everything seemed to be beyond him and he was either frantically lost in everything or in his own little bubble observing. There was a low chance he was the latter. But, even coming to terms with the panic surrounding him didn't quite help Billy grasp the situation. Nonetheless, he gave Jubilee a frown from where he could see her, a somewhat tiny pillar in front of a large crowd. She was currently the only with a phone to her ears and not stretched out in front to take pictures, so it wasn't<i>that</i>difficult to spot her.

""Could you tell me how you got my phone number again?"" he inquired, suddenly arching a brow and frowning.

Roy gestured for Garth to come with him as he walked out. Roy found an empty room and walked in, glancing around he could see it was empty save a coffee table and some chairs.

Here the Justice League was founded through a joint agreement with Superman, Captain America, Flash, Iron Man, and eventually Batman. They’ve collectively worked together over the years and now the next generation of heroes are arriving looking for respect.<br/><br/>For the tone of the RP, while I certainly would not dream of getting rid of the serious tones of the Young Justice series. I do want to bring in a bit more of the light hearted aspect that the comic book series had. Still action packed, but not too overly serious.<br/><br/>For right now people can go ahead and say what characters they would like to play as. Keep in mind though I'll be picking the best ones, so just because you make the first one doesn't mean you'll get the character. As for the characters themselves, any young hero of the Marvel or DC universe will work. You can edit the original character, but don't just change them around completely, or just change them for the sake of changing them. If you want to take a normally older hero, and make them younger.

However with his time in Atlantis Garth has been able to learn and understand his Atlantean sorcery skills. His very skilled in hydrokinesis, produce hard water conducts of a more simple nature, generate electricity. However his most powerful is an ice generation that is known as ‘power of the tempest’. Its a very exhaustive power, and can be damaging to even Garth.<br/>Personality: Mature, caring, calm<br/>Brief bio: A baby was once found just off the shore of Cocoa Beach, Florida, sickly and near the brink of death. When a couple found the child, they immediately took the child to the hospital and after deciding and agreeing to it. Adopted the child, naming him Garth. The young boy grew up constantly enamored by the ocean, every time he was found missing from the home, he’d turn up in the ocean playing in it. When Garth grew older, he discovered through classmates surfing, and it quickly became his hobby and source for entertainment in the small town. He was accepted in the community, even with the strange circumstances surrounding his adoption, as well as his very unique eyes. However his parents had him tested and he came up negative on having the X-gene. Plus considering he didn't know why he had them, it made it hard to really hold it against him.<br/><br/>The years went by and slowly Garth kept feeling his connections to the waters grow stronger and stronger. Beckoning him almost to return… home. Garth tried to fight the feelings for years, convinced he was crazy. Finally one night Garth surrendered to the feelings, going out to the ocean by himself and never returning. The town gave up after searching for him for months, assuming he drowned.<br/><br/>Realizing immediately he could breath underwater, Garth swam feeling himself get pulled in a particular direction. After a few days of swimming non stop Garth found himself in Atlantis, his real home. The kingdom however was in terrible shape however, ruled by a tyrannical leader named Black Manta, Garth ended up by chance meeting Aquaman. A man like himself who grew up on the surface world and is now trying to reclaiming his rightful spot as the king of Atlantis. Garth joined him in his fight and eventually they were both able to fight Black Manta off with the help of a mysterious third figure named Kal’dur. Whom neither trusted but proved his loyalty before vanishing again.<br/><br/>To show his appreciation to Garth for his bravery and help. Aquaman bestowed Garth not only his own alias in Aqualad, but a rightful in his mind spot in the kingdom as Prince of Atlantis. The two continued to work together protecting Atlantis from threats while Garth studied in his spare time Atlantean sorcery. As well as sometimes spending time on the surface world with his adopted parents as a means to forgive them for running away those years ago… and go surfing.<br/><br/>..............................................................<br/><br/>Real name: Tommy Shepherd<br/>Alias: Speed<br/>Age: 16<br/>Appearance:<img src=""http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/140/5/9/59f7df1f0c545493d7221395082e463f-d50i1rj.png""/><br/>Costume:<img src=""http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/11/117763/2938980-tumblr_midv2rvgan1r57ao0o1_500.png""/><br/>Abilities: Simply one of the fastest people on the planet, only equal to The Flash, Quicksilver, and Kid Flash. Able to run at top speeds of the speed of sound (761 mph), Tommy’s body resists the effect of friction, reduced oxygen, and kinetic impact when running at those speeds. He can also generate hyperkinetic vibrations that accelerate the molecules in matter, causing any solid object he directs his vibrations at to explode. He is also able to accelerate his molecules (or even those of small groups of people) and vibrate fast enough to pass through solid matter, such as walls.<br/>Brief bio: Born on Feb 2nd, 1998 at 10:23 pm in a Manhattan hospital. Tommy Shepherd became the only child of a wealthy estate. However right from the start difficulties arose with Tommy and his parents, as they were incredibly busy and never seemingly gave time to Tommy, only when it suited their needs like parading him around in public or at a gathering. He grew detached from the incredibly quickly and really ended up a bit of a reckless young man. Someone who although never felt like he had a purpose, always had almost too much confident in himself and overestimate of his own ability.<br/><br/>By the time Tommy turned 13 he seemingly felt like the world around him was slowing to a crawl. It was just a feeling he had at first, however as the years passed the feeling grew inside of him and eventually even started to happen. He finally realized that it wasn’t the world slowing down, it was him becoming faster than it. Realizing his newfound power Tommy initially just dismissed it as something that wasn’t particularly useful. It wasn’t until he ended up inadvertently using it to save someone he realized a real genuine purpose behind it all. Finally with some feeling of purpose in his life Tommy continued to use his powers in secret as a help to anyone or anything he came across. Never one considering the danger or his personal safety. Even when he would be warned he’d refuse to listen, a trait he routinely has used with people. Still, Tommy’s mind is set, and God help anyone who tries to sway him otherwise."

<br/>Thermokinesis: Iceman is a mutant with the superhuman ability to lower his external and internal body temperature, projecting intense coldness from his body. Like any normal human being's, the nerve centers for regulating Iceman's body temperature are found in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. However, Iceman can mentally override his hypothalamus to allow his body temperature to be lowered by an unknown internal mechanism. This ability converts the latent thermal energies in and around his body into an unknown form of energy that is efficiently dissipated. A related mutation has rendered his body tissues unaffected by sub-zero temperatures. Iceman can consciously, immediately lower his body temperature from its normal 98.6 Fahrenheit to absolute zero (The point where all molecular motion stops.) and lower within the span of a few tenths of a second. Iceman's power to generate cold is so great, he was able to stop a massive nuclear explosion.<br/><br/>As his body temperature falls, the surrounding moisture in the air that is in contact with him is similarly lowered. Just as condensed moisture forms frost, this moisture forms an icy covering which encompasses his entire body. It also obscures his facial features. When Iceman first began to completely lower his body temperature, this covering took on a more snow-like appearance. But as he learned to increase the severity of his coldness, the covering assumed the consistency of crystalline ice that it has today. This ice constantly cracks with any movement of his body, and immediately reforms. (Hence, there is a cracking sound when Iceman, covered with ice, moves.) Through practice, Iceman has learned to control the intensity of his coldness, and he can selectively lower the temperature of isolated parts of his body. <br/><br/>Thermal Vision: The ability to see beings due to the heat signature that others give off, because of the absence of heat around him.<br/><br/>Cryokinesis: Iceman can use his mutant ability to control moisture such as to freeze any air moisture into super-hard ice. This ice can be formed into any object of his choosing: the only limitations are his own imagination, and the ambient air temperature which determines how long his ice sculpture will stay icy. He does not have to hold the ice physically with his hands in order to shape it. Apparently he can simply direct the waves of coldness he projects in certain ways so as to create ice in the shape he desires. In the past, Iceman has formed ice-ladders, ice-slides, ice-shields, ice-bats and other constructs of ice. Iceman has created constructs of ice so powerful that he was able to easily encase and contain the likes of the Hulk with him being unable to break out of it for quite some time. On at least one occasion, he has even been shown to make it snow or cause a blizzard. <br/><br/>Iceman is able to form a rising column of ice beneath his feet, capable of lifting him off the ground. The tensile strength of the column is determined by its thickness, and its steadiness by how well it has been braced. A well-braced and regular column, 6 feet in diameter at its base, is able to support his weight without toppling for about 85 feet in a 40-mile per hour wind. By forming long ice-ramps connected either to his ice-column or to an existing structure like a building or a bridge, Iceman is able to travel above the ground by sliding down the ramp he is creating. Unless he creates supports periodically, the ramp will crack beneath him, unable to support their combined weight. Iceman although has shown that he is not limited to creating constructs and can fly on his own with his control over moisture.<br/><br/>Iceman's control of his powers are so vast that it extends to the molecular level, to the point that he can freeze all of the molecules of an object/being with a thought. An example would be freezing blood in the veins, thereby stopping flow to the brain. He has demonstrated the ability to control chemical reactions on the molecular level, at one point preventing Sunfire from accessing his powers.<br/><br/>Organic-Ice Form: Ability to not only cover his body with ice, but to actually become organic ice. Though the appearance is similar, Iceman is now actually translucent in his ice form. Iceman is virtually indestructible in this form, allowing him to reform his body should it become shattered. He has been incinerated while in human form, and was able to rebuild himself. In his ice form, he is able to use the moisture in the air to form spikes, shields and attach other extra appendages to his body. It is currently unknown if Bobby would be considered immortal. <br/><br/>Due to the amount of water on Earth, Iceman has a virtually unlimited supply of moisture since it is always present in the surrounding air or environment. Even desert air has sufficient moisture content for him to make temporary practical use of; however, the mental effort needed to employ his mutant power under these circumstances could eventually fatigue him and render his freezing ability temporarily dysfunctional. <br/><br/>Hydrokinesis: Iceman can use surrounding moisture to augment himself, allowing him to travel within large bodies of water very quickly. He accomplishes this by breaking himself down to his base levels and reforming at the destination. He is able to convert his body to gigantic proportions as well, through absorption of a body of water or water vapor in the air. One side effect of this is he gains superhuman strength to match his superhuman size. Wherever there is any moisture, Iceman is a threat. Iceman has demonstrated the ability to be transformed into nothing more than water vapor, yet remain conscious and retain the use of his powers. His conscious control of his abilities has allowed him to exist simultaneously in two places at once. <br/><br/>Molecular Moisture Inversion: The ability to freeze water molecules turning them into solid ice.

</div><br/>Personality: Witty, Caring, Headstrong<br/>Brief bio: Robert ""Bobby"" Louis Drake was born in Floral Park, Long Island, New York to William Robert Drake and Madeline Beatrice Bass-Drake. Bobby first discovered his mutant abilities at a young age when he found himself unable to stop feeling cold and shivering.<br/><br/>A school bully named Rocky Beasely had convinced his gang to attack Bobby and Judy Harmon, his girlfriend at the time. Bobby panicked and encased Rocky in ice, saving Judy, but revealing his abilities to his peers. Believing Bobby to be a dangerous mutant, the people of his town, Fort Washington, organized a lynch mob. The mob broke into the Drake household and overpowered them. The local sheriff noticed that things were getting out of hand and took Bobby into custody for his own protection. The story made its way to Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men.<br/><br/>Xavier sent Scott Summers (Cyclops) to recruit Bobby. After Bobby turned him down the two mutants got into a brief scuffle before the mob caught up with them. The mob was stringing Scott and Bobby up to be hanged when Professor X used his telepathic abilities to erase their memories. Grateful for saving his life and yearning to be like Scott, Bobby enrolled in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and become the second member of the X-Men. There, the X-Men were tutored by Professor X and trained in the use of their powers in the Danger Room. As 'Iceman' Bobby learned to control his abilities in order to protect a world that feared and hated him for being different alongside Cyclops, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl.<br/><br/>Iceman quickly befriended Beast, however, he remained self-conscious regarding the fact that he was the youngest member of the group. Iceman's lighthearted approach to disaster marked him as the comedian of the group, and eased tension among his teammates. Bobby's rudimentary control of his abilities caused his appearance to be snowman-like, rather than the almost transparent ice version of his later years.<br/><br/>After it was revealed that Professor Xavier lied to his students, having faked his death, Bobby angrily quit the team. Later, after hearing his former teammates were in trouble, Bobby traveled to the Savage Land where he stumbled into a conflict between Sauron and Magneto. Sauron erased Bobby's memories of the encounter.<br/><br/>Bobby has now joined the Young Justice team, hoping to make a difference with others of his age group.

<br/>Real name: Robert ""Bobby"" DrakeAlias: Ice-ManAge: 15Appearance: Costume: Same as above.Personality: Witty, Caring, HeadstrongBrief bio: Robert ""Bobby"" Louis Drake was born in Floral Park, Long Island, New York to William Robert Drake and Madeline Beatrice Bass-Drake. Bobby first discovered his mutant abilities at a young age when he found himself unable to stop feeling cold and shivering.A school bully named Rocky Beasely had convinced his gang to attack Bobby and Judy Harmon, his girlfriend at the time. Bobby panicked and encased Rocky in ice, saving Judy, but revealing his abilities to his peers. Believing Bobby to be a dangerous mutant, the people of his town, Fort Washington, organized a lynch mob. The mob broke into the Drake household and overpowered them. The local sheriff noticed that things were getting out of hand and took Bobby into custody for his own protection. The story made its way to Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men.Xavier sent Scott Summers (Cyclops) to recruit Bobby. After Bobby turned him down the two mutants got into a brief scuffle before the mob caught up with them. The mob was stringing Scott and Bobby up to be hanged when Professor X used his telepathic abilities to erase their memories. Grateful for saving his life and yearning to be like Scott,[2] Bobby enrolled in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and become the second member of the X-Men.[3] There, the X-Men were tutored by Professor X and trained in the use of their powers in the Danger Room. As 'Iceman' Bobby learned to control his abilities in order to protect a world that feared and hated him for being different alongside Cyclops, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl.Iceman quickly befriended Beast, however, he remained self-conscious regarding the fact that he was the youngest member of the group. Iceman's lighthearted approach to disaster marked him as the comedian of the group, and eased tension among his teammates. Bobby's rudimentary control of his abilities caused his appearance to be snowman-like, rather than the almost transparent ice version of his later years.After it was revealed that Professor Xavier lied to his students, having faked his death, Bobby angrily quit the team. Later, after hearing his former teammates were in trouble, Bobby traveled to the Savage Land where he stumbled into a conflict between Sauron and Magneto. Sauron erased Bobby's memories of the encounter.Bobby has now joined the Young Justice team, hoping to make a difference with others of his age group.

Regal<br/><br/><b>Brief bio:</b><br/><br/>The young royal heir known as T'challa is descended from a long line of same named panther warriors who have led Wakanda a technologically advanced African state with a monarchy as older than recorded time.<br/><br/>T’challa was born to king T’chaka and his wife N’yami after years of trying to have a child of their own and adopting the orphan Hunter. His biological mother N'yami died in childbirth, earning him the enduring hatred of his adopted elder brother, Hunter, who also resented T'Challa for supplanting him in the royal household. His father re-married a second time to a woman by the name of Ramonda who gave birth to T'challa's younger sister Shuri(pictured above)<br/><br/>As he came of age and went on his ‘walkabout” he met and fell in love with future X-men leader and goddess Storm who was at the time a thief. They also shared their first intimate experience together. Duty however caused him to leave her side and return to Wakanda. Knowing his people were highly Xenophobic and suspicious of outsiders he chose to study abroad in a foreign land to teach them trust and tolerance. While in America he cultivated a new civilian identity and a masked vigilante identity while carrying on his studies at Gotham University.<br/><br/>Taught by his father to think two steps ahead of enemies and three steps ahead of friends, T'Challa saw the world's super-beings as potential threats to Wakandan interests and co-opted with the Young Avengers team in order to gather insight to better assist his nation's interests going forward."

Brave Bow raised Roy like he was a member of his old tribe. Roy however never felt like he truly belonged. With few friends there was little Roy could do besides practice with the bow. When Brave Bow passed on Roy was taken in by a local orphanage, Roy was 13 and so was much older than most of the children there. Roy would regularly sneak out at night to practice with his bow and Arrow.<br/><br/>One night he stumbled across Green Arrow attempting to foil a robbery being committed by a man who was obsessed with time calling himself the Clock King. He was easily dodging Green Arrow’s arrows. Roy had a major hero worship of Green Arrow and leapt at the chance to help. He fired and pinned the crook to the wall. Green Arrow was baffled, but saw Roy fleeing the scene. Seeing the young man was a major reality check for Green Arrow, who had mostly taken up superheroing for the thrill seeking.<br/>Oliver Queen made the headlines when adopted Roy Harper. Roy wasn’t sure what this rich sap was doing until he was taken to the arrow cave. Roy accepted Oliver’s invitation to become his crime fighting partner. Roy took on the name Speedy, because he was such a quick shot with the bow.<br/><br/>The two made a decent team, but Oliver found it hard to let go of his thrill seeking ways. A few weeks into their partnership Roy went off alone to investigate a LexCorp warehouse. Oliver had suspected Lex Luthor was up to something after withdrawing a business deal from his own company. Roy found himself strapped to an operating table. Roy later learnt they were attempting to amputate his arm. He heard something about cloning but he was too high on painkillers to understand. Green Arrow came to his rescue. The traumatising moment brought the two closer together, Oliver took being a hero, and training Roy as his sidekick much more seriously. Roy also vowed never to go off alone again for next 5 years he was Speedy.<br/><br/>As time went on Green Arrow joined the Justice League and Roy became friends with Wally and Garth. Wally regularly teased him about his name and made fun of his hat. On his 18th birthday Roy decided to give up the mantle of Speedy and became Red Arrow. As Green Arrow was spending more time with the League and couldn’t teach Roy much more they both agreed he was ready to go solo. Roy took the name Red Arrow to honour his mentor and hopefully to stand as his equal someday."

However, Bucky has a natural affinity toward sharpshooting and can accurately hit targets at long distances and whilst movie. He's exceptionally skilled at sniping, though he still has roughly the same lethality with any other firearm. Need someone shot? Need that person shot without the hassle of going through a ton of armed guards? Bucky's your man.<br/><br/><i>Martial Arts/Hand-to-Hand Combat</i><br/><br/>Having spent some time in the army, Bucky's been trained in various CQC tactics and has a moderate knowledge of incapacitating an opponent up close. Though, his time, however short it was, with Steve Rogers certainly gave him more knowledge about melee fighting than most people in his squadron. Bucky, though not a master at it, has the means to incapacitate, disarm, and fend for himself should he need to. As well, the recent year has given him time to both adjust to the present world and better train himself.<br/><br/><i>Peak Human Conditioning</i><br/><br/>Though, not evident in his small time as a soldier during WWII, the recent year has given Bucky plenty of time to condition himself to his body's maxim and furthering that with more training with Captain America himself. Bucky has the strength, stamina, and agility of a human being very much close to his peak, though it certainly doesn't match that of Batman or Cap. He can certainly do what an average person can't in terms of athleticism and is on par with many of the other young heroes. Among his talents, though, Bucky is extremely equipped to handle stealth and reconnaissance missions. He excels at slipping past enemy lines and back, retrieving things that should be heavily guarded, and essentially going unnoticed on the battlefield until the time would be right to reveal himself.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><b>Bionic Arm</b></span><br/><br/><i>Installed and built by Stark Industries (with the reluctant acceptance of help from Bruce Wayne), Tony Stark fitted and built Bucky and replacement for the arm he lost during his recovery, having been apparently lost to the collapsing of the building he was found deep under. The arm is retrofitted with an assortment of its own abilities and is tailored and wired into Bucky's nervous system. Tony's recent pride and joy—soon to be shadowed by whatever else he has planned—he personally slapped his logo onto it, though this part is unnecessary to detail out. It caused quite a controversy, in which Bucky was thrown into a mix as their personal trophy case; it's been decided that no logo is to be slapped onto his bionic arm, ""especially not a dirty Bat Symbol"".</i><br/><br/><i>Functions</i><br/><br/>Bucky's arm can do an assortment of things, though it's obvious it has much more use than his actual body and more capacity to do things. Among the many uses, Bucky's arm is able to lift things beyond the normal human capacity, and can pack a mean punch that can even do a number on Cap himself (though not enough to severely harm him). It's tuned to react and respond at inhuman speeds, is equipped with Stark's signature palm blasts, though a definitely weaker version than that of the Iron Man suit and is electrical based, EMP bursts, a built in grappling hook, a la Batman. It's extremely durable and very resistant to all elements, completely immune to anything electrical based, and can is capable of still being able to move should it detach from Bucky.<br/><br/><b>Brief bio:</b><br/><br/>Bucky's early life was... at best, not so great. At its worst, it was like living hell. But, that's not what shaped him into the man he was or could be. Time in the war, in training, in living in a complete distraction from his home life, and what he was to do and made to do was what made him the man he is today.<br/><br/>At a young age, James Barnes aspired to be a soldier, a man of the armed forces. Something his father held great respect for. However, at an early age, he lost both parents and a sister, to some extent, and was thrown into a state of being not ordinary for a young kid, such as himself. He wasn't quite old enough to be a soldier, but he was still old enough and smart enough to try. Finally, he was admitted to basic training where he met an equally eager young man, a Steve Rogers. A meek individual with little to no capacity for anything athletic, it was obvious the man shouldn't have been where he was then, but there was something in Rogers that many men didn't see and if they did, it drove them to jealousy. His courage, his bravery, and his unwavering loyalty and sense of justice was nothing but admiring to Bucky; that was what he wanted to be and what he was there for.<br/><br/>However, despite Bucky and Steve forming an intense bond during their short time together, Steve was taken away from him and placed in a super soldier program he and everyone else was blind to. To Bucky, he was just shipped off to war to unfortunately die. But valiantly, he'd always reassure himself. During this time, Bucky rushed through the months until war was smacked into his face like the rest of those in boot camp. It was then, at an outpost in Britain, that he met Steve again, but a different Steve, a man who looked like he could ram into an ongoing train and win. He became the man he was inside and, though to Bucky, he'd always be the same meek, do-gooder, and tiny Steve he met not months ago. It was then, though, that he found just what his friend's purpose was, though this was to be kept absolute secret; the costumed Captain America couldn't have been the frail Steve Rogers he was, not now, at least.<br/><br/>They didn't see each other much, but the times they spent together was either in further training or in simply relaxing, retelling stories, laughing and being friends. This was short lived, as well, as Bucky found himself at the end of a Nazi gun barrel during a routine scouting mission. From then, he was assumed K.I.A, despite the Captain's relentless search.<br/><br/>It's why it came as a surprise when James Buchanan Barnes was found over half a century later in critical condition, in a supposedly destroyed Nazi submarine somewhere in the icy Oceans above the UK. Around him was the wreckage of the aquatic vehicle, of which he was found in a cryostasis container, partially destroyed and completely drained of power. The submarine's explosion under the deep sea had subsequently taken its toll on Bucky's body, particularly his arm. A large part of the hull had torn apart the container holding him, crushing and tear off part of his arm, though the ice that he was already encased in and the below freezing level of the water he was in was enough to preserve him for the duration of the 20th century and a whole decade and a half of the next.<br/><br/>Still in critical condition, and having been found by S.H.I.E.L.D, his identity had been wrongfully discovered by returning Steve Rogers. Appalled by the sight, he tore away the S.H.I.E.L.D agents surrounding him in a rage, only to be stopped by an equally outraged Nick Fury. After a lengthy discussion, Nick had rightfully given up the recently thawed, but still unconscious, Bucky to Cap and his team. Before awaking, however, Cap commissioned his long time team mates Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne to help equip Bucky with a prosthetic arm. Both heroes went above and beyond through rigorous competition and Tony did the honor of fastening the bionic arm onto Bucky's unconscious figure.<br/><br/>After waking up in the medical center of the JL HQ, Bucky was immediately put into a manic, nearly catatonic state, feeling the shell shock of war and the forceful introduction into a new timeline, a new culture. Once he was calmed by an understanding Captain America and subdued by Superman, Bucky came to terms with what happened to him. Came to terms, but not really accepted his new fate. He spent the subsequent year adjusting to the new times, dealing with the ongoing mental instability of culture shock, and possibly more, and wasting away his time training about twenty-four/seven. It was obvious Bucky wouldn't fit well into the actual world, especially not as an ordinary individual, so the Captain, seeing an opportunity arising, found it best to place him with other like minded individuals. Well, as like minded as was possible. A group of heroes would understand his qualms, though maybe not in the way he feels them, but definitely in their own way. Everyone has some kind of baggage to deal with.<hr/>I might make Wiccan, but before I do, I just wanna make sure if anyone has any intention of taking on Hulkling? Just wanted to know beforehand. :o"

Able to run at top speeds of the speed of sound (761 mph), Tommy’s body resists the effect of friction, reduced oxygen, and kinetic impact when running at those speeds. He can also generate hyperkinetic vibrations that accelerate the molecules in matter, causing any solid object he directs his vibrations at to explode. He is also able to accelerate his molecules (or even those of small groups of people) and vibrate fast enough to pass through solid matter, such as walls.<br/>Brief bio: Born on Feb 2nd, 1998 at 10:23 pm in a Manhattan hospital. Tommy Shepherd became the only child of a wealthy estate. However right from the start difficulties arose with Tommy and his parents, as they were incredibly busy and never seemingly gave time to Tommy, only when it suited their needs like parading him around in public or at a gathering. He grew detached from the incredibly quickly and really ended up a bit of a reckless young man. Someone who although never felt like he had a purpose, always had almost too much confident in himself and overestimate of his own ability.<br/><br/>By the time Tommy turned 13 he seemingly felt like the world around him was slowing to a crawl. It was just a feeling he had at first, however as the years passed the feeling grew inside of him and eventually even started to happen. He finally realized that it wasn’t the world slowing down, it was him becoming faster than it. Realizing his newfound power Tommy initially just dismissed it as something that wasn’t particularly useful. It wasn’t until he ended up inadvertently using it to save someone he realized a real genuine purpose behind it all. Finally with some feeling of purpose in his life Tommy continued to use his powers in secret as a help to anyone or anything he came across. Never one considering the danger or his personal safety. Even when he would be warned he’d refuse to listen, a trait he routinely has used with people. Still, Tommy’s mind is set, and God help anyone who tries to sway him otherwise."

It can be discharged through his palms or other parts of his body and can also be coupled with his magic.<br/><br/><i>Chaos Magic/Reality Warping</i><br/><br/>The extent of Billy's magic is unknown and his lack of confidence often suppresses the true nature of his powers, but in basic form, Billy is able to manipulate chaos magic to warp reality in any way he deems necessary. He does this through self-taught incantation, in which he wills what he wants through words. At the moment, Billy doesn't necessarily know the limits of his abilities, but so far he's been able to construct objects, change situations, heal people, enhance others and himself, and finally to harm others. However, if Billy were to lose control through any kind of outburst, it could create negative effects and potential bring great harm to others through subconscious thoughts that he wills into reality. It goes both ways, though, and during times in which he is greatly stressed or lacks the will to take a certain action, then his magic either ceases to work in that instance, or is greatly unaffected. Examples of such is being unwilling to teleport out of sticky situation and potentially leaving an ally behind, thus rendering him unable to do such.<br/><br/>But, again, Billy's magic is largely unknown to him and he is still exploring the possibilities and uses of it. However, he subconsciously restricts himself for fear of what he could potential do with it. If finally tapped into, his powers could potentially span into infinite possibilities and potentially be as strong as the Scarlet Witch's own reality warping or to the effect make him an equal to that of Dr. Strange's magical prowess. He lacks experience and the confidence to further himself, though, and is often stuck doubting himself so much that he brings unneeded stress onto himself and can often render his powers near useless.<br/><br/><b>Brief bio:</b><br/><br/>Born Feburary 2nd, 1998 at 10:44 pm to a Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan, William Kaplan was brought up in a Jewish household, with very, very loving parents. At a young age, Billy had taken a great liking to the heroes of old and new, often begging his parents for enough money to buy the latest comics, of which he'd lock himself in his room for long hours to read and reread each and every bit of whatever he could get his hands on. Both his parents nurtured this love of heroes and fantasy that Billy dove into, giving him everything he could want and making sure he was the happiest child in the world. At such a young age, this affirmed their unending love for their boy and when he came home from his first day at school, with a black eye and his newest edition of Captain America torn and muddied, they were at a lost as to what to do. And even then, they somehow knew he was different from the rest of the kids, but their deep love for him stopped their immediate thoughts of suppressing his lack of normalcy. But, they couldn't leave their son to become the prey of bullies, so they moved him around a lot, kept him happy when he was home and made sure he knew that he had people who accepted and loved him for who he was. Even then, though, Billy had his doubts.<br/><br/>He knew he was different from the other kids. The other kids knew he was different from them. Hell, his parents knew he was different.<br/><br/>But the differences didn't stop there and they never would.<br/><br/>At a young age, it was evident that Billy had a deep love for those of the same sex; his parents could see that. In the way he favored his action figures and the way he would treat them differently than other boys would. He took care of them in ways that a regular boy wouldn't. He didn't have the childish crushes that other boys did. He'd stare too long and too wide-eyed at the boys he fancied or the posters of uber-masculine Captain America or Superman. And his parents nurtured that without him knowing, accepted it before it even became evident to himself. And worried for his well-being even more so than before. Billy would find someone, they were sure of it, but they weren't quite sure if he'd last long enough to find that one soul who would accept him for everything, inside and out. It was morbid of parents to think that—it shocked them to even have thought that. But, Billy was already tormented by his peers, he was already being broken in by society and told the way he thought wasn't accepted. Add onto that being gay? That would utterly crush him and oppress him and the loathing of his friends, possibly family, would be his utter demise.<br/><br/>It wasn't until before middle school did Billy find this out. That his indifference to girls wasn't just a product of them not showing him affection, but of his own desire and attraction to his male peers. P.E. became a hazard. His own body turned against him in the worst of situations. And the bullying didn't stop either. Somehow, he knew that should he come out with this, they'd be even more vicious, even more relentless in their torture. But, in all his turmoil, he found someone he could finally trust or that he fancied so much that he forced himself to trust him. A John Kesler, a soon-to-be jock kid that hit puberty with an abnormally good stride. He was absolutely dreamy and that was probably his crotch talking. So, naturally he came out to him first and was shocked at the outcome, though he knew deep down inside he shouldn't have been.<br/><br/>His one friend, one confidant, one ally turned against him. He told him that he felt the same, that his secret was safe with him. And Billy trusted him, to the extent that he found himself in alone, with him, in the locker room possibly and for the first time getting what he wanted from the world. Until, of course, the rest of the student male body jumped the corner with cameras and slurs, Kesler joining in on the onslaught. And he was ruined. He was utterly demolished. It didn't stop there; the boys were came down upon him, fists flying, his blood coating the tile floors. Words like faggot and queer being muffled by a deep ringing in his ears and by something else. Actually, the fists ceased, Billy thinking the pain was beginning to numb the blows and that their screaming was his own lungs bursting.<br/><br/>But, no, they were all convulsing on the floor of the locker room, as if they somehow succumbed to some kind of illness and broke out in seizures. The nearest one, the boy who started it all, was obviously in the worst condition—he could only see the white of his eyes in his already blurred vision. That's when he ran, possibly in fear that he'd be considered a murderer, though none of them died. His thoughts were reeling then, clouded with questions and he almost didn't see the figure stopped in front of him, the figure that he rammed into and that subsequently knocked him on his ass.<br/><br/>The dark haired woman simply smiled, or at least he thought she did, and picked him up. Then, she proceeded to tell him a story as she sat him down, coaxed him into a relaxed state until he finally fell asleep on her lap. It was the strangest, oddest thing that had ever happened to him. Well, that whole day was a huge conundrum that all just seemed like a dream. He even woke up in his bed the next morning. The wounds that he'd suffered the previous day were all but gone, but what reaffirmed the feeling that everything that happened was real, was the mint condition comic book on his nightstand with a message on the cover and a signature.<br/><br/>'The world will never want to understand you, that's the ugly truth. But, you are special, Billy, so stay standing because your future is brighter than you can imagine.'<br/>-The Scarlet Witch<br/><br/>It sent a deep pang from his chest to the rest of his body, and effectively inspired him to become what he idolized, or at least try to. From then on, Billy trained himself and his mutant powers. He conditioned himself, honed his skills, stood up for himself even. Billy had a mission and a goal he set past even the stars. But, in all his training and all his learning, he kept everything a secret. He locked everything inside himself, for no one to see. And his parents saw this in his reclusive nature. They'd drop hints that they knew, but he'd not take them up, finally convincing himself that they'd never know and that if they did, they'd hate him forever. He was the child parents never wanted, a freak of a mutant, and a homosexual.<br/><br/>But this didn't stop him furthering his own goal and he eventually came upon something new, something strange. His parents had grounded him that night for sneaking out and doing God know's what. In a fit of teenage rage, he had found himself screaming out a desire, a hope, a wish in his locked room, angry at his parents. He shut his eyes tight, slammed his face into a pillow and willed himself anywhere else but there. And that's where he ended up: somewhere in the Justice League HQ, face planted into the cold hard floor and at a loss for words. Of course, being the smart kid he was, Billy caught on quick and immediately wished to go home. Seconds later, he founds himself once again in his familiar room, coated from top to bottom in mint condition comic books, action figures, books, and posters. He had more than his electrical powers and even then he somehow knew the potential dangers of it.<br/><br/>What if he willed his parents to die, instead?<br/><br/>That couldn't happen. It was then that he subconsciously locked it inside, suppressed it to a minimal amount and an amount in which he could tangibly control. But regardless, he grew with what little potential he gave himself and became strong enough to fend for himself. However, Billy was scared, afraid of what he could possibly do should he lose control. And he left his parents the moment he could and found himself attempting to become what he always hoped and dreamed of.<br/><br/><b>Other:</b><br/><br/>He thought the name Asgardian would be a cool fit for what he wears... but realized that being gay would kind of turn that into a running joke. Deciding it was best not to go with that name, he stuck with Wiccan.<hr/>Sorry it's so damn long... @_@ But, there's Wiccan. I hope he's awesome and good and stuff like that. And all that. I'll change anything that sounds weird or out of place, though, definitely."

He hurts the same, feels the same and dies the same as a mortal human being of his age and physique. That is, however, where the similarities stop.<br/><br/>Tutorred by Batman in combat/martial arts, acrobatics, criminology, deduction and stealth, this mini-Batman is exactly that. Coupled with his own utility belt crammed with useful gadgets (e.g. birdarangs, grapnel gun, smoke pellets, non-lethal explosive charges, tracking devices, respitory aids, medical equipment, etc) and armed with a collapsable bo staff, Tim is a highly competent fighter, rarely needing to resort to unarmed fisticuffs at all.<br/><br/>In advance of this, Tim is exceptionally gifted intellectually, capable of detailed strategising and tactical planning.<br/><br/>Brief bio:<br/><br/>As a child, Tim Drake was an avid fan of the Flying Graysons - a circus act exclusive to the Haly's Travelling Circus. He idolised the three acrobats, none more so than Dick Grayson. He had posters dedicated to the group, was a frequent ticket holder and had immeasurable quantities of videos dedicated to the group's best performances. When the senior members of the Flying Graysons' lives were cut short mid performance, Bruce Wayne of all people adopting the child, Tim was left with a hole in his being. When reports of a 'Robin' appearing with the mysterious Batman flooded in, Drake barely paid any notice. Until he watched the boy in action, that was. The boy was, without question, the same that Tim had adored in years prior.<br/><br/>The summersaults. Those kicks. That smile. There was no question - Robin was Dick Grayson.<br/><br/>Following up on this theory and deducing The Batman's identity took time, but eventually he confronted the Billionaire at his Manor. While initially seeming reticent, sharing a caper involving Two-Face softened Bruce up. He offered to train the boy, who's ambition had evolved into working alongside him. Two years later and the boy is close to the peak of his abilities and is a member of the Teen Titans. This could all be about to change."

But since he father was never home and Kate couldn’t stand his self-serving attitude, she took after her mother, who was selfless and contributed to various charities. Unfortunately for Kate her mother died while working overseas while she was young. While her father left her in the care of her older sister, Kate learnt to chart her own course in life.<br/><br/>A few months after her mother’s death Kate was assaulted while walking in Central Park. She was left traumatized and hated how helpless she felt. She got therapy to help cope with the ordeal. There she learnt to turn the grief, shame and helpless into something positive and vowed never to be a victim again and begun a vigorous training regime. Her father’s vast fortune allowed her to access whatever she wanted and she could hire the best tutors.<br/><br/>She first met a number of heroes at her older sister’s wedding when the church was taken hostage by the Joker out of impulse. His associate Harley Quinn rigged the building with Joker gas bombs while the Joker was waving around a loaded machine gun, threating to open fire on everyone if their insane demands weren’t met. Kate managed to get the detonator off Harley and subdue their two goons, using her compact bow (having gone to the archery range before remembering her sister’s wedding). Joker nearly pulled the trigger on the bride and groom only for an arrow to jam it. Hawkeye (Clint Barton) made his entrance before revealing Cyborg had managed to hack into the bombs remotely and disarmed them before Kate had even made her move. The madman however sprayed Hawkeye with his laughing gas. Though the dose was nonfatal, The Joker was reading to stab Hawkeye with one of his own arrows but Kate came to his rescue. Cyborg witnessed everything (having hacked into the security cameras as well) and was able to tell Hawkeye what had happened once he recovered.<br/><br/>Impressed, Clint took Kate on as his apprentice and granted her access to S.H.I.E.L.D. training facilities. When Clint became Goliath for months he gave her the mantle of Hawkeye during that time. When Clint had enough of relaying on Pym Particles, Kate refused to give up the Hawkeye mantle, so Clint took it back anyway and they both operated under the Hawkeye name."

Peter has a sixth sense that takes the form of a tingling within his skull, this allows him to determine when he is in danger and where it is coming from, this allows him to use his super-human reflexes to dodge incoming attacks from assailants.<br/><br/>Peter has the relative strength of a spider allowing him to lift cars with ease, this strength also allows him to jump extreme heights.

Peter was generally ordinary his grades were slightly above average in all subjects bar biology which had an affinity for. Peter was often bullied by his fellow students for being a 'nerd' or being 'weak' while all of these statements were true; Peter was due for big changes in his life.<br/><br/>While on a field trip to Oscorp Peter wandered astray from his group to find himself in a strange room filled with silk fibers. A single spider descended on it's web and bit the adolescent. The next morning Peter woke up on the roof of the empire estate building after the strangest dream, he quickly realized what had happened. Originally abusing his powers Peter avoided fighting crime until this negligence lead to the death of his uncle. Now motivated by the loss of his only father figure and desperate to help all those in need he protects New York as Spider-Man."

Lets not forget the fangs, claws and the ability to turn into mist.<br/>-Wolverine Blood: Jubilee gets her blood from wolverine which allows her to fight off her vampire urges and also grants her a healing Factor and allows her to be expose to a limited amount sunlight. Do note her healing factor isn't on wolverine level.<br/>-Olympic Gymnastic and excellent hand to hand combat (trained by wolverine himself)<br/><br/>Weakness:<br/>-Silver: Vampires are highly allergic to silver and can even be killed by silver weapons.<br/>-Sunlight: Sunlight is toxic to vampires but due to wolverine blood, she can withstand a small amount.<br/>-Religious Symbols: Religious symbols can negatively affect vampires.<br/><br/>Brief bio: Jubilee is the daughter of two Chinese immigrants who lived in Beverly Hills. Jubilee at first lived the high life, having skills to become an Olympic athlete in gymnastic and going to high end school. Yet this all change when her parents where mistaken from someone else and killed by two hit-men while Jubilee was out with a friend of the family. This resulted in Jubilee being sent to an orphanage which she then ran from. She lived in Hollywood mall and survived by stealing food.<br/><br/>She soon then discovered her mutant power and was recruited by the X-men. There she left like a family again and would go on to have several adventures with them and see them as her family. Yet this would not last as she would then be attack by a vampire and eventually turned into one. Although the vampire who did this to her and the organization that he work for were defeated Jubilee still remained a vampire. Believing that part of her was inside her, Wolverine decided to let Jubilee feed on his blood. Wolverine had previous proven to be immune to being turned into a vampire and as a result the blood that Jubilee fed on allowed her to resist her vampire urges. Jubilee tends to now hand around Wolverine and the X-men, helping them even though she is no longer a mutant. Jubilee is also a friend of X-23 and has a crush on Robin.<br/><br/>Note: Jubilee will<b>not</b>be part of the team and will not go on adventures (unless its a special mission that the GM allows) but still will appear as a fan and a friend."

<br/>Kid Flash would still work with the current team dynamic.<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>Yeah and the only reason I changed over to Speed was because of the Wiccan/Speed dynamic...<br/><br/>Here's the profile for him too... would be ironic if he was the very last person to show up.<br/><br/>Real name: Wallace “Wally” West<br/>Alias: Kid Flash<br/>Age: 16<br/>Appearance:<img src=""http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs17/f/2007/183/8/f/wally_by_gloomybat.jpg""/><br/>Costume:<img src=""http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/264/b/d/kid_flash___dcu_by_spiedyfan-d5fesom.png""/><br/>Abilities: By tapping into an energy source of the world known simply as the ‘speed force’, Wally is capable of reaching speeds much faster than a normal human. However unlike his mentor and step-father Barry, and because of the blood transfusion that gave him his powers. Wally cannot go as fast, nor vibrate his molecules, or be able to go super speed suddenly or stopping as quickly. However his body can heal quicker than a normal person, take more punishment than a normal person, and has super speed reflexes.<br/><br/>On top of his, Wally is a natural science whiz, and has been trained by his step-father in basic gymnastics. Because of his powers as well, Wally has a hyper-accelerated metabolism, meaning he needs to consume food several times more than a normal person.<br/>Personality: Dorky, good-natured, impatient<br/>Brief bio: The only son of a single mom, who saw her husband ran away one night with a younger girl and never return. Wally and his mom were headstrong and survived with what they had, Wally handled himself in school, getting decent grades everywhere except in science, where it never dipped below an A.<br/><br/>When Wally’s mom lost her job things fell into despair until an old friend of her’s, a CSI for Central City Police named Barry Allen, offered her and Wally a place to stay. She immediately took him up on it, but Wally was infuriated. He didn’t want to move, didn’t want to feel like they needed to depend on some slow, dopey police officer, they were surviving, and they could survive just fine without him.<br/><br/>When they moved in, Barry tried to be accommodating to the still angry Wally. Failing to do so until finally he found out that Wally has always been a huge fan of The Flash. Telling Wally that The Flash routinely comes into the police station he gave Wally a signed poster of The Flash by the hero himself. Finally breaking the ice Wally and Berry got along better and better. Until one night when Wally was coming home late from a party he went too, he ended up in the crossfire of The Flash trying to stop some criminals. Wally realizing that his hero was going to get hurt in a sudden moment intervened and took a bullet. The last thing Wally saw before passing out from the blood lost was The Flash grabbing hold of him and running him to a hospital.<br/><br/>When Wally came too he felt very different, and was in for a surprise to see both his mom, as well as The Flash there. The Flash scolded him for risking his life like that, blaming himself for letting it happen. However the biggest shock came when Wally suddenly realized who the Flash was, Barry Allen. Over the next few days Wally found out Barry was the only person who could give Wally a blood transfusion to save him, and in doing so imparted Wally a way to connect to the speed force. The very thing that gives Barry the ability to become The Flash. After spending a week trying to talk Berry into it. Wally was given a suit and the alias Kid Flash. Now for the last few years Wally West has been living a dream, teaming with his hero and keeping the streets of Century City safe."

He lived on a coral reef that was inhabited by hundreds of other Pokemon. Although a metropolis of coral would seem like a good place to live, it wasn’t. There was a food shortage that caused many to live in hunger, including Josh. As one of the lower ranking Pokemon on the reef, he didn’t get to eat much.<br/><br/>He worked on one of the seaweed farms that were scattered around the outer parts of the reef. There was a lot of it growing there, but unfortunately there wasn’t enough to feed everyone on the reef. He teamed up with another Pokemon working on the same farm – a Horsea named Keira. They both tried to steal food from the farms whenever they could. They were careful not to get caught, though. The higher ranking Pokemon would often deal out severe punishments to those that were caught stealing.<br/><br/>The worst of them all was a Clawitzer named Zane. He was easily the most powerful Pokemon on the reef, and he treated everyone around him like trash. Of course, there were some that tried to stand against him. They didn’t stand a chance. He was vile, relentless, and cruel, but he was in charge and there was no way to change that.<br/><br/>Eventually, Josh had enough. He didn’t know where he would go, but anywhere was better than there. Keira begged for him to stay, but his mind was made up. He couldn’t help but feel bad about leaving her, though. He knew he would miss her, but that wasn’t enough to make him come back.<br/><br/>Apparently one missing farmer was enough to anger Zane. Josh was doing rather well until that guy came after him. He barely managed to get away, but he knew Zane would still be looking for him. He had to find a place that was not only willing to accept him, but also keep him safe from Zane.<br/><br/>He found his new home in the most unlikely place – on land. All it took was a rogue wave to sweep him onto the shore and a friendly stranger that happened to pass by. Josh had never seen anyone like him before. He introduced himself as Matt, and when Josh asked him what he was, he claimed to be a Reuniclus.<br/><br/>Josh decided to go with Matt. He was kept in a bucket filled with water until they arrived at Allure Town. This place was amazing. All kinds of Pokemon walked in the streets, most of which Josh had never seen before. There was no way Zane would look for him here. For the past few months, he’s been living in a small pond beside Matt’s house.<br/>Appearance: He has a silver ring on his forehead that glows when he uses Psychic-type moves. He’s also much smaller than your average Skrelp.<br/>Differences: He is capable of using Confusion, and learns other Psychic-type attacks later on (Psybeam at lv. 18, Extrasensory at lv. 30).</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""KaBling"" type=""button"">KaBling [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: <span class=""bb-s"">Milloon</span> Miles Hall<br/><br/>Species: <span class=""bb-s"">Mettaton</span> Magneton<br/><br/>Gender: None<br/><br/>Appearance: Like a regular Magnemite, only that his pupil is slightly bigger, has three magnets arranged in a tripod like fashion, and has an rotating little radar dish of sorts on the top of his metal body. Seeing as his body was smelted together with scraps of metal, and Milloon wanted a bit of decoration, a radar dish was added. A bit more of a hat if anything. Everything including the dish matches the typical colouring scheme of the Magnemite family.<br/><br/>Moves:<br/>-Flash Cannon<br/>-Metal Sound<br/>-Discharge<br/>-Agility<br/><br/>Ability: Analytic<br/><br/>Bio: Milloon wasn't really born. He was created by a Porygon named Davis, who had stuck pieces of magnets and scrap metal around to create a friend. He was lonely, no one talking to him for the past 30 years in house he lived in. Sick of the loneliness, he had purchased some bags of human-era metal, and did what he did to create Milloon, Of course, over the months, he was sanded down and refined, eventually given a real metal sphere, because the creator thought of him as ugly and in pain. He was still missing a magnet, however, and was teased at times for the mistake. Davis (being a 'young' Porygon and his best friend) couldn't fix the problem until he found a pair of stray magnets in the bin of the community. It was hard to tease Milloon when he had not just a full set of magnets, but three. Some nasty kids got through that by throwing iron dust at him, although they were quickly dealt with by Davis.<br/><br/>Milloon and Davis had resided in a small village, a secluded community about five minutes from Allure Town, overlooking the place. As in, flying distance. Walking would take about 40 minutes, as the path was uneven and over-stretched, leading to a rather steep hill where the village was located. The community they resided in was nothing special, apart from being populated with plant-based Pokemon. Apart from that, they often hosted an event that involved finding Sitrus berries in a certain patch of Birchwood Forest. Which wasn't easy as only one actually grew in that patch, presented with the danger of going out at night alone. It did prove good fun for the protected children, climbing trees and scouring bushes like forestry inspectors. Even the formerly reserved Milloon was interested, having a try and achieving a three win-streak at one point. This also happened to break Davis' streak of two. The pair had a nice time together, both treated differently by the plant-based community. As in, they were intolerable by the village, causing them to reside in their house for most of the year. Davis never revealed his reasons why he moved, let alone his origins, often making up some reason why he wouldn't move to Allure. He kept murmuring to himself during sleep something about another Porygon freeing him, named 'Milloon,' complaining how long it took awaiting instructions. Of course, the real one just thought that was his fantasy. After all, Davis always wanted a friend, creating him and accomplishing his dreams.<br/><br/>During the three days before he was last sighted, strange things occurred. Davis would often 'freeze,' periods ranging from three seconds to a whole minute. When he unfroze, he would create a series of tiny bells ringing. He'd sometimes pretend he was a robot and greet the nearest Pokemon near him. He'd also vibrate for no apparent reason, to which he was aware of. Milloon felt an anomalous signal being broadcast, collected by the radar dish mounted on his head, seconds before Davis would freeze. Unfortunately, it would be very hard to get past all the static, making out only a name; 'Joh.' Davis disappeared when another signal was broadcast, at least two minutes longer than usual. During that time, Milloon rushed from the nightly Sitrus hunt back to his one-story house, desperate to make sure he was safe. He found no one was around. Milloon was heart-broken, his only friend disappearing without a trace. Rows of scrap metal from the days of Davis attempting to create friends remained dusty, with systems of cobwebs astray around empty books just for furnishing. Nothing was disturbed. No signs of struggle, no forced entry, just nothing. A week of staring at the two towns and forming a time lapse with what he saw, he got sick of no one noticing and decided to leave the place he called home.<br/><br/>Though Milloon would've been determined to find Davis... where would he go? What clues did he have? The plant-based community didn't want to help him, preferring not to involve themselves with mineral Pokemon. Frustrated at the community, he left in bitter emotions for Allure Town. Realising the hostility of the world (he was ambushed seven times on the way to Allure Town, twice by bandits and five by wild Pokemon), he decided starting small would do... although, he knew in the back of his head that he wouldn't have the time to start from a humble beginning. Not when some crazy stuff was going on.<br/><br/>Differences: If he evolves into a Magneton, he doesn't split off into three distinct personalities or something similar. He's still himself, just with another two Magnemite bodies. Having a small radar dish on his head and an extra magnet would probably increase his weight slightly. Because he's a Pokemon that defies gravity, Ground moves can't actually do anything... and that would indicate a break in reality if that were to contact him and others. Being friends with Davis, he was taught how to be 'normal,' speaking properly rather than through magnetism. Along the way, Davis taught him moves such as Agility and the ability Analytic, which resulted from a need for self-defense. After all, the Sitrus berry hunt was at night in Birchwood Forest, and was just ambushed seven times, so...</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Lugia"" type=""button"">Lugia [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Spruce Birch<br/>Species: Snivy<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Moves:<br/>-Tackle {|||--------}<br/>-Leech Seed {----------}<br/>-Vine Whip 3 {----------}<br/>-Void Whip 1 {----------}<br/><br/>Bio: Spruce has always been 'the little brother', or 'that other snivy' to literally everyone, given that his older brother, Vine, was already a famous explorer. Of course, Spruce used to go on explorations with Vine, and was around when his team, known as 'Team Wildvines' was formed, and Spruce was, in fact the first member to actually join the team, aside from Vine himself, however... Vine, with his strange moveset and strange type would always say ""I've got this, bro."", leaving Spruce to never fight, and to simply stand there, twiddling his leaf ends until the fight was over. As a result, he never got any experience from fighting with Vine, and eventually, Vine found stronger friends, and friends with better types than Spruce. After that, Vine would always leave Spruce at home, and with his parents always trying to find a way to make money, poor Spruce was always left alone at home, with nobody to talk to but himself. He used to leave on his own outings, but Spruce's parents found out when Spruce came back with scratches, bruises, and cuts all over his body as a result. After that, he was forbidden to leave the house unless VIne, or, really, anyone else was there with him. Spruce was stuck and home and bored until his parents let him stay at Arnold's guild, where, at the very least, there were other pokemon. He got along rather well with the others, save for the fact that he was universally known as 'Vine's little brother' instead of his name, over there.<br/><br/>Then, the day finally came when Vine disappeared. Spruce, taking this opportunity, decided to quit his old team, and form a new one called 'The Odd Ones Out', which stayed true to him being the perpetual loser on his old team, however... nobody else joined. He was now alone on his own team, which wasn't any better than back at home, and worse still is that everyone, in the panic of losing their greatest hero, would always ask if Spruce knew where Vine was. Spruce would always answer the same way ""How should I know? I'm not connected to him by the hip, you know."" Spruce had to exit the guild just to get away from all the noise and all the questions, however, Allure Town wasn't any different. It may have been even worse with some Wildvines team members running around, asking everyone if they know where Vine went... of course, nobody, not even Spruce had any idea... and yes, they asked him daily. In fact, he had to go to town that day, because the guild seemed to have known just how weak Spruce was, and had him deal with non-exploration jobs such as checking the banana stock in the local shop, or asking if the townsfolk would like a new bridge here, or a new building there, or even just asking what everyone thought of the guild in the first place... it was awful for Spruce. Of course, that only lasted for a couple weeks, and then they got a new recruit in the guild, and a bunnelby, no less! Finally, someone ELSE to take those mundane jobs of boringness, and someway for Spruce to finally be able to be out on his own!<br/><br/>And, after the initial excitement of that, as well as loads of pokemon asking where Vine was, the number of which only seemed to grow with time, rather than shrink, as you'd expect it to, Spruce finally made it to the mission boards... though... um... there appeared to be two of them, and worse? He had no idea which job to deal with as his first exploration job. It had to be easy, but he didn't want it to be boring, he's already had enough of boring for one lifetime... but... which one? Spruce ended up pacing between the two boards for an entire day, unable to decide what job to take out of sheer over-excitement and indecisiveness, making that a completely wasted day. That day, Spruce wouldn't even eat the dinner that the guild chef has prepared, lost in thought over which job he should take the next day, and how he should take it... there were a couple of outlaws which seemed to be at about Spruce's level, however, there were also a couple ones which related to Spruce's original hometown, Birchwood Forest. Spruce wanted to get rid of one of the criminals, but he also wanted to visit his old home, again. Sure, it was a mystery dungeon, by now, and he'd probably have to fight whatever family members were left behind when Vine wanted everyone to move out of the place, such as his cousin, Ivy, but it would be very nice to visit the place again... that place always seemed to calm Spruce, even if everything in there was hostile, now.<br/><br/>Appearance: ""Spruce is an entirely monochromatic grey Snivy, due to him being a [REDACTED] Pokemon."" -KaBling <br/>Differences: The only difference, thus far, is that Spruce's appearance will not change through evolution.<br/><br/>- - -<br/><br/>Name: Anthony Birch<br/>Species: Goomy<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Moves:<br/>-Tackle 1 {|||||-----}<br/>-Bubble {----------}<br/>-Absorb 2 {|||||-----}<br/>-Counter<br/><br/>Bio: Anthony's life was pretty normal, at first. Two parents, his mother, a Goodra named Alice and his father, a Scrafty named George. After about three years of his life, his father and mother started constantly yelling at each other, and no matter how loudly Anthony cried or pleaded for them to stop, they didn't seem to notice, and after another year, his father moved out, taking several things with him. This left his mother in a state of depression for about another year, which had her get kicked out of her old team. No longer making money, Anthony had to move to a cheaper, seedier part of town. Anthony used to get picked on all the time by the locals until he started to use a move he learned from his father, counter. With his father gone, and his mother a train wreck, Anthony had to find some way of making money, a good way, too... however, once the guilds figured out where he was from, they wouldn't let him join their guilds. He tried every day for three months, and during that time, he met up with someone named Vine Birch... he didn't think anything of it, then, after all he was related to grass-types and 'Birch' was a somewhat common last name among them. This 'Vine Birch' apparently became some sort of famous explorer, all while poor Anthony was still trying to find work. He tried Scale City, he tried Allure Town, heck, he even tried Treasure Town but none of them wanted him anywhere near their guild.<br/><br/>That was when he first found a down-on-his-luck mudkip who was having the same problems that Anthony was. The little guy was kicking a discarded chesto berry shell around, and looked saddened by something. Curious, Anthony asked what was wrong with him, and after that mudkip, apparently named Martin explained his issues, the two decided to form an unofficial team and try to rescue others and possibly even explore new places... well... that didn't work. It turns out that even when desperate, the pokemon in need will turn down help unless they're official members of a guild. Supposedly, this was mainly to keep them from getting into even more danger, as the two were labeled as 'untrustworthy' by those who they'd try to save. The two gave up after a few weeks of hearing 'I can't trust someone who's not even a part of any guild to save me. For all I know, you'll just lead me into more danger.' and the two dissolved their team, and just went to being friends... of course, with almost nothing to do, it got pretty boring either going over to Martin's house and dealing with the multiple other families living there, or going over to Anthony's house and dealing with his mother's various new 'house guests', none of whom seemed to like either of the two children, and usually left a few moments after the two would arrive... which would almost always depress Anthony's mother, which would make the two children want to leave.<br/><br/>One day, Martin, who was missing for a while, came running over to Anthony, holding about a hundred poke. Anthony, having never seen that amount of money before in his life, simply had to ask how Martin got it. Of course, Martin lied, telling Anthony that this money was given to him as a reward for saving someone, and, obviously, Anthony was simply awestruck, amazed that Martin had successfully saved someone and even got a reward to boot. When asked how he was able to get someone to trust him, Martin simply responded with 'I found a way... just keep doing as I say, and we'll be rich!' of course, because Anthony trusted Martin, he would do whatever he said... taking money from the local store, off of some exploration team, and eventually escalating to items, and then simply taking the pokemon, themselves. The money would come and go really quickly, however, it was the only way that Anthony has even come close to making money, yet, and he made sure to give it all to his mother, who would hopefully use that to live in a better place so that Anthony could join the guilds, and be free of the stigma that came with living in that neighborhood. The two even came up with funny code names for when they're doing 'jobs' as Martin would like to put it, and from there on out, Anthony would refer to himself as 'General Goom' and Martin would be known as 'Mister Mudkip'... then, came this final mission, this supposedly rich emolga was getting close to their hideout, and Martin just needed to give her his 'talk', which, of course, meant that Anthony had to go find this emolga and take her to their hideout, which he did without question... of course, not long after successfully 'leading' the emolga to Martin's cave, some exploration teams decided to ruin the job, which meant that Anthony had to be the lookout again.<br/><br/>Appearance: He usually wears a sort of weird green camo helmet, but not when he's on a job for some reason... other than that, he's perfectly normal.<br/>Differences: He has an oddly high physical attack, yet, an oddly low special attack and, thanks to his father, he may learn some fighting-type moves when he actually has the limbs to do so.<br/><br/>- - -<br/><br/>Name: Bonnie Gold<br/>Species: Buneary<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Moves:<br/>- Frustration {||||||||--}<br/>- Bite {|---------}<br/>- Jump Kick {----------}<br/>- Attract (tm)<br/>Bio: Bonnie was apparently lucky... at least, that's what she was told by everyone. She was born into the rich and famous 'Gold' family, which has, up until her, only consisted of meowth and persian who have apparently made their fortune thanks to the constant use of the move 'pay day'. She wouldn't have considered herself lucky, however. Every day, and every night, her father, a persian by the name of Artemis, would try to attack her, aiming to either knock her out or kill her. Which one was uncertain, as he'd always have those crazy, evil eyes just before attacking. Had her mother, a lopunny named Mirabelle, not gotten in the way. It was a wonder that she never broke up with him, and that they stayed together... but it may have been due to the fact that she always bought his excuse, such as 'I've had too much fermented oran juice,' or 'I didn't get enough sleep today,' heck, she even bought 'It was a stressful day at work,' despite the fact that he hasn't worked a day in his life. He told everyone that he was working, however, Bonnie figured out that wasn't true at the age of about six, when she followed him out of the house once. He didn't go to any of the guilds, and none of the shops... he just stood there, waiting for someone. If only she had known. If only Bonnie could have stayed there a little longer... then she would have been able to warn her mother. Bonnie didn't stay there long enough to witness anything horrible that he would have done had she stayed... she was hungry, and dinner was just about ready back at her house. Bonnie didn't stay silent during dinner, however, as she told her mother that Artemis wasn't working, that he didn't have a job... and that prompted the event that would mentally scar young Bonnie for life.<br/><br/>About a week after Bonnie's little reveal, things went south between Mirabelle and Artemis, who were constantly yelling at one another over every tiny little thing. This lasted for about a year, and was all because Bonnie saw her dad 'working late'. It was at about this time that Artemis' little excuses for constantly trying to abuse his child weren't working, and Mirabelle would now attack back, or, rarely, use attract, a move she had taught Bonnie when she was very young, to stop Artemis before he even tries. Normally, this would be the worst part of someone's life, that is, until the two parents split up and leave the child with one or the other, with neither one of them being good choices, however... this, sadly, wasn't the case with Bonnie. It all happened several years ago, she was seven at the time, and her parents were yelling as per usual, however, after a scream from her mother, it just stopped. Bonnie, confused, ran into the room where they were yelling, only to see a sight far too gruesome for someone as young as her. Her mother was slashed to pieces, and worse? Her father was actually eating her. His fangs and claws were bright red from the blood, and he had a piece of her arm sticking out of his bloody mouth. Artemis, apparently noticing his daughter, then snarled at her, and told her in an oddly calm, yet still intimidating voice ""If you say a word about this... you're next,"" he was captured by some rescue team after that, and hauled off to jail, and eventually court. Bonnie was called as a witness, however, she couldn't speak. Whenever she tried to remember that horrible incident, that vile sight, she'd always end up crying without saying a word... as such, she was considered an unreliable witness, and her father was found innocent... the worst part came when he was given custody of her.<br/><br/>It's a wonder that she's still even alive to this day, as she had to sneak food to prevent starvation, and survive a constant onslaught of attacks being thrown at her. Artemis' favorite attack was slash, and he loved to use Bonnie to practice that move. She wouldn't be able to catch a wink of sleep out of fear if it weren't for the attacks knocking her out every single day. She doesn't remember much of those years, however, she does remember one phrase that has kept her quiet for this long... 'If you say a word about this... you're next,' which means that she couldn't do anything about it. She was too weak to fight back, attract doesn't work on him anymore, and whenever she stayed conscious through one attack, he'd launch another at lightning speeds, guaranteeing that Bonnie goes through the day knocked out. Occasionally, he'd use pay-day on her in some sort of attempt to get even more money, though, he'd constantly be disappointed at how few coins were created when he'd attack her with that move... every time he'd use it, he'd wait until Bonnie woke up to shout at her to pick up the coins... and then give them to him. After a while of this, Artemis said something about how he can't stand to look at her anymore and how Bonnie looked like her slut of a mother, so he threw her in the basement, as if to take away the one good thing she may have had in this life... a decent house. This was the final straw for Bonnie, and, over the course of a few months, she finally dug her way out of the basement, and ran away. She ran until she couldn't see her father's house, somewhere called 'Sunswept Plains', where she met a mareep and a litleo who were Bonnie's first friends. The litleo was simply called Leo, and the mareep was called Mike. Soon enough, the trio encountered what they thought was a wild snivy. Bonnie was actually somewhat attracted to the snivy, despite his grey coloration, and told Mike of her plan. Mike agreed to the plan and walked over there on his own... it wasn't long before Mike whistled, and Bonnie tried to use attract on the snivy, who was not only oblivious to her, but also apparently already had a girlfriend, one who knocked out Bonnie as soon as she finished using attract. She awoke to see her friends knocked out as well, and they simply told her to head over to Treasure Town, that there might be better friends there... they said that she should go alone, but, that they'll remember her... and this was her next goal. Her final goal? Revenge.<br/>Appearance: Nothing's different about her appearance, save for a few scars on her arms, and one on her chest. There are also a few bruises, specifically around the eyes that just won't go away.<br/>Differences: Due to her abuse as a child, she is now a pure dark-type, her frustration move (once she learns it) is also a dark-type move, and will grow in power regardless of how much she likes the leader of her team. She can also learn some dark-type moves through experience, and is afraid of all cat-based pokemon. Once she reaches a certain stage, her stats will increase as if she evolved again, though, that won't be the case.</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Evanist"" type=""button"">Evanist [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Celes Silverfall<br/>Species: Sylveon<br/>Moves:<br/>-Hidden Power (Ground) 2 {----------}<br/>-Draining Kiss<br/>-Swift 2 {----------}<br/>-Confuse ray<br/>Bio: Now… where to start with this story.

She lived in an family of eevee’s, all of them evolved already. She was the youngest in her family, and this usually leaded her to be teased a lot by her siblings. Her mother was an umbreon and her father an espeon. Both of them usually argued abit and joked around cause of how they should have evolved in the other ones form, but both of them just kept having laughs with this.<br/><br/>Sibling wise, Celes had about 7 sibblings. 1 male flareon that usually kept ‘accidentally’ putting stuff on fire, 2 vaporeons, one female and the other male, that kept watching over the problems that the flareon kept doing, 1male jolteon that would usually alarm people and work with his leafeon sister in the gardens. There is also the glaceon sisters that keep running around towns, travelling and selling things to help out the family.<br/><br/>You see… the family itself made their fortune by selling berries and making mixes with them to heal up injured pokemons all over the land. Every member of the family help out one way or the other, and even if fights brake off sometimes, they usually end up being fixed not too long afterwards.<br/><br/>Now… let’s get back to Celes. Like said before, she was the youngest in her family, but also one of the most strange. Once a while, she should just stare blankly at the walls for short periods of times, as if something was bothering her. What was happening though… was a sixth sense she had. Her mother and father kept telling her that it was nothing, but she still kept doing the same thing. It was just all too weird. Why did she sense these things and the others not. Well… that sense actually helped her once, when a group of ghost type thieves were going to steal away their shipment of berries that they worked very hard for. Celes was able to warn her father and mother about this, and soon enough they found the crocks and chased them away. Her parents never understood why she felt that, but they did not question her. She helped the family out, and that was what was important.<br/><br/>Then days afterwards, her parents brought her 3 stones. A fire stone, a water stone and a thunder stone. They asked her to evolve, because they were worried about what might happen if something else might come. A bigger group of ghost types or something. Even if she was a normal type, she would be in danger by other kinds of moves. Though Celes did not want to evolve, cause she was not sure what to even evolve into. She was not ready yet, and pushed the stones containers away. Her parents asked her to just choose one, that it was for her own good, but she still refused.<br/><br/>So they left her be. Her siblings though, wanted her to evolve also, but each of them tried to make her evolve into what they were. Each of them used their powers, attempting to show off and tell Celes that she should change into what they were, but each time it was same answer. She did not want to choose right now, and she was not ready.<br/>This lasted for weeks. Her parents even wanted her to evolve into their own form, but Celes refused. It was getting too much for her. Day after day she was harassed with this. Then one night, she had enough. She got up, and was about to leave threw the door, only to have her flareon brother block her, asking her where she was going. She answered that she had enough, that she did not want to stay there anymore. Though this displeased her bother.<br/><br/>He then used flamethrower, attempting to get her to back away and stay there, but that was the last straw that she could take. Suddenly she felt a strange energy inside her. She then used it, and saw that she used confuse ray on her bother, who then hit a wall multiple times. Unfortunately that made a lot of noise in the house, and then she heard voices all around. She started to run, and then rushed outside, jumped over the fence and ran away. She had enough of this. If they wanted her to evolve, then she wanted to at least have time and be ready to evolve at least. She continued to run at full speed.<br/><br/>2 days later, she arrived at Allure town. She did not know what else she could do. Left alone, no friends to talk to, and the constant feel of something near in the very back of her head. Probably just her being crazy or something. She shook her head and then entered the town, slowly. Maybe she could find her destiny here…. Maybe she could find what she wants to be deep down. And maybe she could even figure out how she used confuse ray back then…<br/><br/>Appearance: She usually wears a light blue ribbon around her neck, and her fur is slightly paler than normal.<br/>Differences:<br/>Celes, strangely enough, has the ability to use ghost type moves. She does not know why, but she as a kind of sixth sense. Though she is not a ghost type.<br/><br/>- - -<br/><br/>Name: Eralion Strongwill<br/>Species: Pancham <br/>Gender: Male<br/>Moves: <br/>Counter (learned from many hours of training)<br/>Bullet Punch<br/>Karate Chop<br/>Leer<br/>Bio: <br/>Where to begin with the story of Eralion. It would take a lot to actually say every bit of details from his life until now, but we shall go with the important parts.<br/><br/>Eralion was born from a Mawile father and a mother Pangoro in a forest far from Allure town. We could say it was an awkward family, but both of Eralion’s parents loved each other. They worked long hours in the forest to defend the smaller creatures that would be too weak to fight, protected them from harm. Eralion look up at them, proud of having parents like these, though that was before he started to hear about guild’s from some passer by. Those people talked to his parents quite some times, asking for directions to a mystery dungeon that was a bit farther north from their forest. Though a lot of times it was starting to get night and his parents usually invited them to stay for the night. Because of this, Eralion heard lots of stories of guilds, people helping out others, working side by side. When the guest left, Eralion asked lots of times to his parents about if he could go to Allure town to join a guild, though because of how far away it was, they said no, because it was too risky to move. Eralion though didn’t give up. Instead of asking more and more, he started to train, fighting and punching, also learning from the old Wobbufett in the forest who gave advices to travellers. Both Eralion and the old Wobbufett got along quite fine, and it was also that way he learned to use counter, a move that normal Pancham could not learn. <br/><br/>After quite some training, Eralion asked his parents again if he could go to the guild now, being stronger than before. His parents said no again, though Eralion didn’t give up. One day during his parents usual patrol, he followed them in secret. It was then that he saw a primeape going to hit a zigzagoon with a karate chop. His parents were about to go and help, though Eralion moved quicker. He moved in front of the zigzagoon and used counter. When the strike hit, Eralion’s parents were horrified, only to have Eralion strike back the primeape full force, actually damaging him so much that he almost fainted, with Eralion holding on, giving a bit of breathing from the hit. He then quickly rushed and used Karate Chop also, finishing off the ape. His parents were surprised by this, but also mad for him to go into so much risk there. Eralion looked at them, before giving a smile, telling them he was alright. Sure he took some damage there, but he still felt like he could continue fighting. His parents looked at each other concerned.<br/><br/>That night his parents told him he could go to the guild after all, though that he should be careful. Eralion nodded, saying that he would. Finally he was going to have some adventure.<br/>The next morning he packed up everything that he needed, and gave his last goodbye’s to his parents. He then left his home. He wanted to return one day when he would have become much stronger and able to protect the forest, but for now the prospect of a new adventure loomed overhead.<br/><br/>Though his travels weren’t as fun and games as he thought it would be. One of those days he was passing in large mountain territory where many old ruined buildings were. As he passed by, he heard screaming, creatures going and running away. What he saw was a granbull, attacking nearby dragon types, laughing at them. This made Eralion’s blood boil. The granbull was already damaged a bit, but not enough to actually be defeated by any creatures around. Eralion rushed forth and used karate chop on the thing, only to have it turn around and then headbutt him right in the arm. This hurted Eralion a lot. The granbull moved closer and closer to Eralion.<br/><br/>“Well well… a little hero want to stop me… how cute…. Now where was I… oh right….” The granbull says before going to use headbutt again, though Erion resisted and used counter, striking the thing back full force, weakening him more.<br/>“Why you little… able to use counter eh… you won’t resist long though.” He says. He was right. Eralion could not resist another hit. He started to run full force, going to get away from the thing. The thing started to chase after him, though weakened cause of the damage Eralion caused to him. Eralion had to find somewhere to hide… something to help him… something….<br/><br/>It was then that something in him just slightly broke as he heard the footsteps moving closer and closer to him. He looked to the direction of the granbull, slight energy being felt from the ground of the ruins,<br/><br/>“There you are… well… time to fi…” he start to say before Eralion got up, his eyes in a new rage.<br/>""Still have so...” was the last thing before Eralion, who in a last attempt, rushed and striked the granbull right in the face, faster than anything he ever did before. He had just used bullet punch! The granbull falled on the ground, KO now. It was then that multiple dragon types walked by, looked at Eralion who was breathing deeply. He lost consciousness then.<br/><br/>When he got back to himself, he was in a large cave with a couple of dratini’s playing in the corner. His wounds were patched with bandages. As he look up, he saw a Dragonite pass near him.<br/>“Ah… Finally awake… Here…” she says before giving him a plate of berries.<br/>“You should be hungry…. Eat up.” She says. Eralion smiled and ate up, hungry like heck at the moment. He looked at his arm that he used bullet punch with. He saw a slight silver lining under his fur, but not much else. How did he even use that move anyway. He wasen't a steel type, and pancham could not learn such move. But also they could not learn counter. He knew he was different, but that different and able to use that attack?<br/><br/>After eating, he thanked the Dragonite family before going and leaving, going back on his way to Allure town. He still had a lot of road to do, and he knew his adventure wasen’t over yet.<br/>Appearance: He looks like a normal pancham, though under his fur of his left and right arm, theres is a slight silver coloring.<br/><br/> Differences: He trained many hours with a Wobbufett to be able to learn counter. He will also be able to learn steel type move cause of his strange genetics, though he will retain his normal typing.</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Card Captor"" type=""button"">Card Captor [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Kamina<br/><br/>Species: Gyrados<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Moves:<br/>- Tackle<br/>- Flame Charge<br/>- Splash<br/>- Ember 2 {|||||-----}<br/><br/>Bio: Like most of his kind, Kamina was forced to endure vast amounts of torment at the hands of other Pokemon. For so long, he was forced to serve as the punching bag for others. Being so weak, he also had great difficulty finding food for himself. Normally, this would be enough to break anyone. Shatter their fragile mind and sense of self worth. Sending them into a spiral of depression strong enough to break even the most battle harden warriors and turn them into mere shadows of their former selves!.........Kamina however, was far from normal<br/><br/>When Kamina took a good long look back on his life, remembering all the torment, all the pain, those many days he went hungry, those times he almost died. He took it differently then most would. He took it as a challenge. That lit a fire in him. From that day on, Kamina spent every second he could training. Although, due to his only move being completely useless, he didn't make much progress. However that failed to discourage him, if anything it drove him further. He worked himself to the bone day in and day out...and didn't have anything to show for it.<br/><br/>One day, after he had worked his body too much to work with his insane training, a group of nasty Pokemon found him. They beat him severally, laughing as they did. But Kamina didn't scream, he didn't even cry. he was too tired to do either. As he fell into unconsciousness, he felt his body drifting away on the currents of the sea...<br/><br/>When he woke up, he was on a strange beach he had never seen before. He could also make out a faint rainbowish glow off in the distance above the sea. As his mind caught up to his body, he noticed that in his sleep, his body had been fully revitalized. Excited and ready to resume his training, he accidentally shot pellets of fire out of his mouth. Instead of questioning how he managed to learn a move that his kind shouldn't be capable of preforming, he immediately attributed it to his 'burning spirit' as a result of his 'passionate hard work.' He decided right then and there to continue his training on land to become the most badass Magikarp ever...<br/><br/>...before moving on to becoming the greatest Gyarados that ever lived<br/><br/>Appearance: Is a much deeper shade of red then the rest of his kind, with the crown on his head a deep blue color<br/><br/>Differences: Is part Fire type<br/><br/>- - -<br/><br/>Name: Tini <br/>Species: Dratini<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Moves: <br/>-Wrap<br/>-Aromatic Mist<br/>-Fairy Wind<br/>- <br/>Bio: Tini was very sick as a baby, and he wasn't expected to live very long. His parents did everything they could to make his short time in this world as comfortable as possible. Then one day his health took a turn for the worse. His parents stayed with him on his deathbed, doing everything they could to ease their little boy's pain. They pleaded and begged for someone to come and spare his life...and then someone came to answer those prayers; none other then Xerneas. Using his great power, he healed young Tini's fragile body, however because of how damaged it was from illness, his powers ended up leaving a lasting mark on the you Dragon, making him part Fairy as well as changing his color<br/><br/>Xerneas then said to him ""grow up big and strong little one, and one day you will be able to save someone the same way I saved you"" and with that, he vanished as quickly as he arrived. Xerneas words left a lasting impression on the young Tini, so he worked hard to become as strong as he could. He now had two things he never had before; a future and a dream, to spend his life rescuing others. He was reborn as Tini; defender of love, justices, truth, hope, peace, and delicious cookies. During one such training exercise, his Fairy type was discovered when a wayward Dragon Rush hit him and failed to cause any damage<br/><br/>One day, an Aromatisse were passing by when he saw the young Tini training. Deciding to have a little fun, she showed off some of her moves to young Tini, however one in particular caught his eye; Aromatic Mist. The idea of a move that could bolster the resistance to ranged attacks for an entire team, of a move that could lessen damage instead of causing harm, appealed to him greatly. Determined to learn such a move, Tini began to beg the Aromatisse to teach it to him. Although she was sure he wouldn't be able to learn it, she was unable to say no to his cute little face, and so she began to instruct him. To her immense surprise, young Tini actually showed progress with the move. Now knowing that for some reason this young Dragon could indeed learn this move, she decided to stick around to make sure he got it. Tini was a diligent student, putting his all into learning this move, and after a few weeks, he had it mastered<br/><br/>After he felt that he had sufficient training, he made his way to the nearest town with his parents blessing, in order to join a guild. He was about to take the first step towards his dream <br/>Appearance: The blue part of his body is violet instead. He also seems to...sparkle <br/>Differences: Is part Fairy and his ability is Marvel Scale.

Every day, Hex has to go through the same routine. From sunrise to sunset. It first begins in the morning, deep in Birchwood Forest, when she's swarmed by countless males offering her fresh berries and honey in the hive. It's simple just to gust them away, but the ""oh-so-mighty"" queen doesn't like her drones being swept far away into the forest, so she just has to push through and deny any attempts to swoon her. After finally making it past the drones, she checks on the defenders of the hive outside, the Beedrill, who are even worse then the drones. Constantly complaining about the conditions, buzzing, swinging around their stingers, when they don't even belong with them. Hex knows her mother just keeps them around for the purpose of protection. And then she has to talk to the captain of them, about reports, recent attacks, work conditions. The captain' snot too bad, but yells at everyone but her. After that dilemma, it's usually about lunch time.<br/><br/>Hex travels inside the hive, where all the defenders and drones of the hive are mulling about, munching on berry jam. Hex has to flutter by the queen when eating to signify she's royalty. Which is a total pain, considering her mother is always surrounded by her adoring subjects, and she has to listen to every single compliment they have to throw at her. After that lunch ordeal, the young Combee has to follow her mother all the way through Birchwood Forest, to have a meeting with some allies about property and defense and attacks. Hex is forced to sit through it all. Being a ""princess,"" she doesn't have a say in anything. When it finally ends, she has to travel back to the hive, which is all the way on the other end of the forest. Then she finally gets her one moment of peace throughout the entire day. Without it, she'd probably go insane. Hex sits alone in her room, the royal quarters. Her dinner's delivered to her, and she can eat peaceful, and think.<br/><br/>Hex can think about freedom. About how she wants to escape from the same painful route every day. About how boring and uninteresting it is to go throughout her entire day. Even now, thinking about it to herself, she just wants to snore. Hex craved a different life. She didn't want to evolve to be the boring queen, who sat on her throne each day, getting fatter and fatter and passing dumb laws. She wanted action! Adventure! And the rangers, oh, the rangers. They occasionally passed through the forest, and she'd always look at them as they went along their way to fight evil and save the day. While Hex wasn't strong, she knew that one day she could fight alongside them. Join a team, get a badge, and fly free in the skies. To be one of them. But she didn't want that life of adventure soon. She wanted it now. Hex began to formulate a plan to escape the prison of the hive. How to escape the eternal torment of her every day. And the Combee princess knew just how to do it.<br/><br/>It started early in the morning. Much earlier. None of the drones were awake, but some defenders were still buzzing about. A small shaft of early morning light drifted in through a small chip in the wall. Her first taste of freedom. And so, Hex put her plan into action.<br/><br/>""Help! Please!"" Hex yelled, her voice echoing down the halls. The Beedrill would be soon rushing in to save her, like the white knights they were. ""Someone!""<br/><br/>The young Combee lowered herself into a small bowl of honey from dinner last night. She slathered herself in the junk. She usually saw the drones covered in honey after making it, so hopefully they wouldn't be paying enough attention to see through the honey and at the red mark. The princess slowly drifted into the hall and down the twisting tunnels of the hive. On her way, multiple defenders rushed past her, down to her room, paying her no mind. She had a limited amount of time until they realized the princess had left, so-<br/><br/>""THE PRINCESS!"" A voice buzzed down from the hallway. ""SHE'S GONE!"" Okay, maybe less time. She stopped slowly drifting down the hall and furiously fluttered down it, using all the ability in her delicate wings. She could hear the Beedrill buzzing from down the hall, flying hurriedly through each room, looking for her. There, the entrance! She saw it! She just.. She just..<br/><br/>Hex flew through the exit of the hive. It was attached to a huge tree in Birchwood Forest, under a thick canopy of leaves. And so she flew. She flew, far away. To Allure Town, to become a ranger, and to evolve and grow stronger than the queen. She was becoming quickly exhausted due to the little power in her wings, but she forged ahead. And off to Allure Town she went.<br/><br/>Appearance: Looks like a normal Combee<br/>Differences: A common ability passed down in Hex's royal generation is Shed Skin, which she can now use, even if it is kind of gross.</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Antarctic Termite"" type=""button"">Antarctic Termite [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Carrol Shannon. Although he doesn't dislike the name or its descendant Carl, he instead takes pride in his tribe's name, Shannon.<br/><br/>Species: Amaura.<br/><br/>Gender: Male.<br/><br/>Moves: -Powder Snow {|||||-----}<br/>-Thunder Wave<br/>-Growl<br/>Shannon's voice, as is typical for his species, can be very forceful when need be, so even in his young age he can sound an intimidating cry. His icy power is not well-developed yet, but Shannon can breath a stinging gust of frost to defend himself. An early trick his species learns is to manipulate the charged particles powering his crest, releasing an electrical pulse to stun an opponent.<br/><br/>Bio: The Aurorus tribe from which Carrol came was made up of the Shannon family, and lead by elder Alaois Shannon. The Shannons occupied a wide range of tundra and taiga at the base of a series of near-Polar mountains, and their power serves as an indirect safeguard against other encroaching species. While Aurorus are not Pokemon inclined to combat, Alaois's Snow Warning amplifies the climate that keeps the territory exclusive, and gives strength to the other Ice-types, the task maintained by Abomasnow within the range itself. Carrol hatched into this peaceful environment, and from birth he looked up (in every sense of the word) to the towering figure of Alaois, even more so than he did his own parents. Carrol proved to have no lack of ability himself, although not a Snow bringer. Carrol could manipulate ice and aurora with subtlety and travel with endurance and patience. Crowning his talents, however, was his voice, singing clear and cheerfully along with his elders and peers among the Shannon.<br/><br/>Ceaseless efforts to impress Alaois and learn from him did not go unnoticed. The elder was aging, and Carrol seemed the perfect candidate for the next leader once he matured. Although talk was light and patient, it wasn't hard to predict what would have occurred: Alaois would pass on and his Snow Warning daughter Etna would lead until Carrol wooed her and took the Shannon into his care. The inevitable, unspeakable catastrophe took form in the eruption of a million-year dormant but monstrous volcano on the range above the tundra. Forests burned, glaciers melted, and the plains were covered in ash. Etna died by chance, crushed by a stone hurled by the explosion. Alaois never recovered from the loss.<br/><br/>Following the grief-driven death of Alaois, the Shannon left the plain for parts of their range that had fared better. The ecosystem, however, had been dealt a mortal blow. With no artificial cold on the plains and the permafrost irrevocably destroyed, the border of the Polar realm was pushed back, and tundra became fertile, if wintry, grassland. While other species eventually adapted to the warmer climate and more aggressive newcomers, the Aurorus had held the over-specialized niche of providing snow to a now-dead biome, and were not built for the rocky environment of the mountains. The Shannon, though leaderless, made the decision to abandon their home and their natural life rather than stand their ground and dwindle with the years. Carrol and his family migrated to seek a town where Pokemon of any type could shelter. The journey was not as long as they had expected, but the town they found presented a crisis: It was too small to support the entire tribe without crushing the native population under the burden. Two Aurorus stayed, but the remainder moved on. That was how the Shannon tribe died. No town could support them all, and they no longer fit into any natural habitat. At each settlement some departed.<br/><br/>Kiera and her son Carrol were strong and patient, though Carrol had been struck terribly by the death of Aloais. By the time the Shannon reached Allure town, they were all that was left, and they had traveled the furthest. Kiera supported herself in Allure with her strength and size, carrying smaller Pokemon when the need arose, knowing that despite their love her son would find another parental figure, as he had done before with Alaois. Carrol, indeed pining for a new hero to look up to, disillusioned by the death and separation he had seen, latched onto the most powerful figure in town, Arnold the Guildmaster.<br/><br/>Tap tap tap. A patient wait in the early morning chill, then a wooden latch opened. The stationed 'mon recognised neither the figure, nor the fuchsia glow in the darkness. Whoever had knocked had drawn back again. ""Step into the firelight,"" the query came, perhaps with a little too much suspicion. Whoever it was didn't seem urgent for help. Then why this bothersome time of morning? ""Why're you here? Who's knocking?"" The figure approached calmly, and the lights revealed themselves to be crests above a pair of serene eyes. ""My name is Carrol, for myself,"" the Amaura complied, in a melodic voice that promised peace, if not friendship. ""But know me as Shannon, for those who are gone. I wish to join your guild.""<br/><br/>Appearance: Shannon has a long, sweeping tail, at least in comparison to other Amaura, which helps him keep his lofty head balanced. Like others of his species, Shannon's crests change colour with mood, but they usually tend towards a purple-ish pink.<br/><br/>Differences: Shannon's movepool will include more sound and song moves than usual. Moves learned will be Sing, Relic Song (although it has no extra effect for him other than being boosted by Refrigerate), and Perish Song.</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Sumable"" type=""button"">Sumable [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: William Lennard<br/>Species: Smeargle<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Moves: -Transform -Sketch<br/>Bio: Waking up, thinking about his past, William Lennard fell into a deep thought. It all started out when he was a kid; a young boy who was fascinated with what was happening all the time. He wanted to know what it was like to be a newsman. It wasn't his first job, though. His first job was at Candace's Bank, where he helped store money. He felt alright with this job, but felt he wasn't exactly destined to be a teller in a bank. He quit and was a traveling comedian, although his only 'travels' have been in Allure and Treasure town, since he's afraid he will get criticized in Scale Town. He told the best jokes he could think of, and got minimum wage for it, and he loved making people laugh. After a big mess-up with a joke, that got him shunned as a comedian, he quit and became an investigative reporter. It was his favorite job. He was quite awkward, to say the least, but after a while, he was damn good at his job. He only did small things for a while until...<br/><br/>The Crime; A person in Treasure town was murdered in his house. William was asked to do this case, and he was afraid, since if he found the murderer at his last clue, he would most certainly die. The person was a Scrafty that was 3' 11'' and weighed 105 pounds. That part of the investigation was easy. He had a pen and paper to write down stuff for the news, and he needed to see what was going on with the blood. They noticed that some of the blood was not Scrafty blood, and that there were small pieces of a purple skin in the Scrafty's hands, either revealing that the murderer was the scrafty at first, but then the other person fought back, or the other way around. William collected the blood, skin, and other samples, and the whole body itself. After identifying what species the possible murderer was, and what type of blood they had, they concluded that the murderer was most likely an Aerodactyl, and had AB+ type blood. When they used this information, they had about 6 suspects, and none of them pleaded guilty. The news station still does not know who the murderer was.<br/><br/>When he came back to real life, he felt shocked and depressed that the possible murderer could still be out there. He hated his failure in finding the murderer, and he felt like quitting his job. He fell into a depression for 3 months, and stopped doing things he normally enjoyed. He eventually stopped moping over an old case, and he went on another case. He only knew that the case had something to do with the Foggy Plains, and that something VERY important was stolen. He grabbed his backpack, got a few matches, and set off for his new adventure.<br/><br/>Appearance: Wears a backpack which is used to store things like paper, pencils, and matches.<br/>Differences: Can learn/use Confusion, and can learn Recover at a certain stage, and can learn Odor Sleuth a later stage.<br/><br/>- - -<br/><br/>Name: Samuel Grayson<br/>Species: Treecko<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Moves: -Pound<br/>-Quick Attack<br/>-Absorb<br/>-Spark<br/><br/>Bio: Born and raised in Treasure Town, he was accustomed to the strange layout of it. He lived not too far away from the Kecleon Shop, since that was his favorite place to get what he needed. He got his money from doing simple chores for other townspeople, and the occasional Mystery Dungeon exploring. He always had concerns and questions about the things, like how did all these berries get here, or what happened to the people that left their poke behind on accident. What if it wasn't on accident? What if they died and their money was left there?<br/><br/>Then, suddenly... BOOM! The sound of thunder was deafening, the skin-tearing pain was unbearable, and then... silence. Was this what death felt like? Maybe this is what death was. Pain, then nothingness. Just darkness. He could feel something pick him up, something warm. He could hear something, but to him it was just nonsense. Complete, total nonsense. He started to dream, dream of impossible things like flying, or having the most powerful move. Meanwhile, outside of Samuel's head, he was teleported back to a guild, taken outside, and to the nearest healer or doctor. There seemed to be no hope for the victim of this accident, but he still occasionally showed signs of being alive, like a twitch and occasional groans. Two whole months passed, of forced-feeding of Oran Berries and herbs, and other berries. At about 3 in the afternoon on the 6th day of the 2nd month he was out, he opened his eyes. At first, he couldn't walk that well, and he had to continue resting. He was most likely going to survive.<br/><br/>About a year after that incident, he could start to walk again, with some slight troubles, and he was told he was a survivor of a strong lightning strike. He felt as if he was stronger, and also felt like he wanted to be whoever rescued him. Someone who could save lives, someone who knew how to get people to safety. Someone that could help people, and make sure they were okay. He started hearing talk about a place that did that, and the people who worked there got paid for it, as well. This concept sounded outstanding to him, and he had plans to go join this place soon.<br/><br/>After the recovery, he was changed from a loudmouth to someone that you would think was shy. He still spoke when he felt like he needed to, though, but he still freaks people out with two of the three remaining side-effects from the attack, the lightning tree scar on his back, and this other odd part from the attack. His tears weren't normal tears. They were made almost exclusively of blood. He had what his healer called Blood of the Eyes, but everyone else just called them blood tears instead, since that's what they were. He was polite, sort of. He had a short temper, and occasionally blew up for no reason.<br/><br/>Appearance: Has Haemolacria. Haemolacria is blood tears, from a slight tint to the tears looking completely made of blood. His whole back has a lightning scar on it.<br/>Differences: A little slower than the average Treecko, and also is an Electric Type, and has Thunder Shock as a starting move. Added moves (electric type bonus):<br/>- Level 12 - Thunder Wave<br/>- Level 15 - Spark<br/>- Level 21 - Thunderbolt<br/>- Level 24 - Zap Cannon<br/>- Level 28 - Counter<br/>- Level 30 - Thunder<br/>- Level 75 - Bolt Strike</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""ZombieMagikarp"" type=""button"">ZombieMagikarp [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Breen. Breen Torrents. He prefers milk shaken, not stirred.<br/>Species: Mudkip<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Moves: -Water Gun -Mud Slap -Tackle -Swagger<br/>Bio: Now this is the story all about how Breen's life got flipped turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how Breen Torrents became a janitor at a guild in a town called Allure. In the West of Treasure Town, born and raised, actually, wait no, more like Allure Town, yeah, that's where he praise! Chillin' out, maxin' relaxin' all cool, and listenin' to his dad preach about evolution right after school, when the quest for adventure sparked in his mind, he said: ""I'm gonna join that big guild and kick some baddie behind!""<br/><br/>And well, he sorta stuck to that motivation, regardless of the outcome. By the book, Breen is a registered Guild Member, with his best friend Torchlite. He's been working there for a good amount of time actually! Lookit that team name - Scooterz! Works real well and all considering his goofy nature and whatnot. Living under the strict rules of his overly religious father, Booker, he sorta let loose with his adventurous and creative side - living out the dreams he's always wanted to when he was confined to staying inside of his room reading comic books with his best friend. And hey, now he's making progress! He's now confined to cleaning the guild in-between large expeditions and reading comic books on break...with a little bit of arguing with Archie here, a little bit of rule-breaking and wandering around over there - all around, he's living his dream!<br/><br/>Of course, he's dedicated to his own little antics around the town, weather it be some sort of job for kind 'ol Mr. McGuillicuddy down the street or working for some gang he's never heard of. Yeah. Nice. And on top of that, his sarcasm and wit will always, can always, and once again I repeat: WILL get him into trouble. In his spare time that doesn't involve work or fun or reading comics or playing the harmonica (he's a professional, trust me.), he's a real kind guy! Always wanting to make friends and such despite his development in the excellent skill of lying and fibbing constantly due to his obsession with comics. But I'm sure that won't play any part later on in this roleplay...<br/><br/>...right?<br/><br/>Appearance: Your average Mudkip, albeit skinnier, due to his constant hyperactivity. He’s got an orange dot on each of his paws - a Torrents family trait, and he wears a pair of novelty 3-D glasses, which he uses to better his eyesight due to his eyes being red and blue (see my profile picture for how it should look at least). He wears his standard rescue team bandanna in the style of a tie - usually a bow-tie. He also carries a small satchel which looks a lot smaller than it is on the inside...they're always like that. He also wears a red baseball cap with a lightning symbol on it, backwards. It's the style nowadays.<br/><br/>Differences: Small immunity towards electric-type moves, happens randomly, but usually results in him getting shocked. Terrified of heights and ghosts! And a slight slight fear of dragons....yeah, they're fuckin' terrifying.</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Stale Pizza"" type=""button"">Stale Pizza [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Levita <br/><br/>Species: Drifloon <br/><br/>Gender: Female<br/><br/>Moves: <br/>— Gust (Flying / Special)<br/>— Astonish (Ghost / Physical)<br/>— Payback (Dark / Physical)<br/>— Tailwind (Flying / Status)<br/><br/>Bio: To Levita, she was born into the most awesome and coolest family she had ever met. Her mother was Saniri, a Chandeleur, and her father was Sirus, a Drifblim, the latter which was a renowned explorer. She also had an older brother, Cobust, which was at first a Litwick at youth, then a Lampent when he was older. Sirus simply claimed that her brother's evolutionary line had a faster pace...though Levita saw that as only a lie to make her feel confident about herself, and she continuously envied her older brother throughout her youth, who seemed to always be one step ahead of her. Once he evolved, the Drifloon sword that she was going to work as hard as she can to surpass her brother, no matter the cost. <br/><br/>But other than her rivalry of her elder sibling, Levita loved the fame that went along with her father. Whenever Sirus had the time, Levita would always persuade her father to do a Shadow Ball, a Stockpile and Spit Up, and occasionally his special Thunderbolt move. Every time, she would be astonished by her father's flashy moves, and often try to copy it herself with failure. At night, Saniri would tell her wonderful stories from wandering evil Pokemon having their life force sucked out of them, or of spiritual possessions and Yamask's secrets. To Levita, little went wrong with her life, and she couldn't be happier.<br/><br/>Until she realized the harsh reality of life. Levita finally realized how intolerant and cynical Pokemon could be; there was always news of some bandit capturing this, someone stealing that. Tragedy had struck the family as well, as Levita's father Sirus, who she always idolized, had suddenly disappeared on one of his journeys, which sent Levita, Cobust, and their remaining mother into a depression; from depression came determination, however. Both Levita and Cobust had decided to continue on their father's legacy of explorers — Levita was convinced that her father was dead and wanted to gain the fame her father had wanted, while Cobust wanted to investigate on their father's disappearance by joining into a powerful guild — Levita did not know which guild it was, but it was certain they were going to be traveling down different paths. With what she could carry with her light weight, Levita went off to be an independent explorer, who generally took up jobs any time, anywhere, while remaining unaffiliated with any guild. <br/><br/>And even after this period of time, Levita still had a long way to build up the fame her father had...but she was going to achieve that goal no matter what. With her cheery attitude and her street-smarts, Levita was going to rise.<br/><br/>Appearance: Levite does not appear very different from other Drifloons; the only few visual differences are the ends of her strands, which appear like rounded triangles instead of hearts, and the cloud fluff on her head, which is light grey instead of white. <br/><br/>Differences: Drifloon has inherited one of her several family's moves, Tailwind, which increases the user's speed, from some unknown line. She will evolve into a Drifblim, though it may be later than usual. <br/><br/>(Trivia:<br/>— Levita often daydreams and sketches with her tiny notebook in her belt-satchel.<br/>— Levita can navigate in a directional fashion using her Tailwind and Gust.<br/>— Levita likes scaring other explorers on the road, which often brings her trouble.)</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""lavulman"" type=""button"">lavulman [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Rebecca Crescent<br/><br/>Species: Ralts<br/><br/>Gender: Female<br/><br/>Moves: <br/>	Confusion<br/>	Teleport<br/>	Disarming Voice<br/>	Lucky Chant<br/><br/>Bio: <br/>	Rebecca and her brother Leon were born princess and prince into a small yet proud kingdom. It wasn’t all that impressive, in retrospect, and they were always butting heads with another similar group of Gothitelle for one excuse or another, but they both had a happy family, which was really all that mattered to them.<br/>	Of course, that only lasted for a good nine years before their mother started showing signs of a terminal illness, likely due to some form of poison. While Leon and their father went to search for a cure, Rebecca elected to stay by her mother’s side until the end. The conversations held between the young Ralts and her mother would come to shape the life of the former, as the frail queen would make sure to stress the importance of following the heart to what she saw as a creative and passionate young mind. After a week, the queen had passed on, leaving the family to find their own ways of moving on.<br/>	True to form, Rebecca later began to develop quite the enthusiasm for expression, mainly drawing and reading, while Leon became withdrawn in the pursuit of growing stronger. After she’d sketched just about everything she found worth sketching in her home, she decided to venture outside, to ruins that had long since been declared off-limits to her and most of the kingdom. All the more reason why it would be a fun little adventure, right?<br/>	The dark, cold steel corridors were unlike anything Rebecca had ever seen or heard of. It’s atmosphere both frightened and tantalized her, and as she traversed deeper into the derelict facility, she noticed the slightest traces of life, from lights turning on and off to the occasional voice over the loudspeakers. When she had gotten the nerve to speak to the apparition, it introduced itself as being little more than “A Ghost in the Shell.” Rebecca thought that name was kind of stupid, and persuaded it to let her call it Ergo. Ergo led her through the halls, to a room he described being “like a library, but cooler.” The machines in the room were run down, and though Ergo himself couldn’t fix it due to being incorporeal, but he eventually managed to guide Rebecca into fixing the ones that mattered, as well as how to use them.<br/>	The worlds presented beyond the screen was beyond amazing to Rebecca. Though she couldn’t stay there forever, she would come back to visit the Rotom whenever she thought she could get away with it, always amazed by the stories,adventures, and emotions that would lay in store for her. Eventually, all this did was strengthen her own wanderlust, inspiring her to find something to fill the hole in her heart that had been widening since her mother’s passing. Leaving a note at home that explained her true feelings, she left home with little more than some art supplies and her favorite scarf.<br/><br/>Appearance: <br/>	Nearly identical to that of a normal Ralts, with the exception of her bright blue eyes hidden behind her hair. She commonly wears a crimson scarf. A parting gift from her mother, she asserts that it has some sort of mystical effect on how cool she is, but these claims are dubious at best.<br/><br/>Differences: <br/>	Rebecca, like all female members of her line, can learn Moonlight. This version can be used on other party members in addition to herself.</div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""bobert778"" type=""button"">bobert778 [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Xeno<br/><br/>Species: Sableye<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Level: 8<br/><br/>Moves: -Nightshade -Leer -Scratch -Zen Headbutt<br/><br/>Bio: Xeno was never good socially, something evident to his brethren upon hatching deep within the Crystal Chasm. Unlike the other sableye that would seek to go live independent lives, Xeno was constantly bothering someone with his constant chatter which caused great annoyance for the other members of his species. Sableye are solitary pokemon and don't generally live near one another if they can avoid it, so eventually a few had had enough of Xeno and began more 'insistently' getting him to leave them alone.<br/><br/>Given the cold shoulder by anyone he'd known Xeno was forced deeper and deeper into the dark fissure he occupied, eventually forced to make his home far off from anyone. There weren't many crystals this far, the raw gems an essential part of a sableye's diet, and when he began to run low instinct told him to dig for more food. Every day Xeno's tunnels grew deeper, ores of various kinds being unearthed each day and eventually Xeno came across something he liked; coal. The gritty, black rocks were unique and Xeno found he quite liked the taste, digging for more as they began to make up more of his diet. Still a growing pokemon his development was altered, his skin becoming darker and the gems on his body became dark and cloudy. He was a picture of impurity, and further shunned by his species which only lead to greater seclusion within his tunnels.<br/><br/>Then one day, the earth couldn't take his digging anymore and the network he'd called a home collapsed. Barely escaping being crushed Xeno fled his home and left behind all he knew, his emergence not being taken lightly by the other sableye nearby. Claws covered in coal dust Xeno dashed away from those who had tried to bury him, leaving the Crystal Chasm and for the first time in his life walking out into the light of day. His eyes tinted black the light didn't hurt him as much as it should have, and unsure where to go followed the strange pathway that lead away from the cave.<br/><br/>Appearance: Xeno is several shades darker than most sableye, allowing him better camouflage in the dark especially with his duller eyes. The gemstones on his body also appear cloudier and darker, as opposed to being shiny due to his altered diet.<br/><br/>Differences: Xeno has the bonus innate ability 'tinted lense', allowing 'not very effective' attacks to deal twice the damage they would normally do. This is in addition to the standard 'keen eye' and 'prankster' abilities.</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""OUTDATED"" type=""button"">OUTDATED [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none""><span class=""bb-b"">Team and Character Info:</span><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Unaffiliated"" type=""button"">Unaffiliated [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Starring: NA - <span class=""bb-i"">""Destiny follows adventure.""</span></div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""The Odd Ones Out - Arnold's Guild"" type=""button"">The Odd Ones Out - Arnold's Guild [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">The Odd Ones Out - Starring: Spruce (Lugia), Celes (Evanist), Milloon 'M' (KaBling), Kamina (Card Captor) - <span class=""bb-i"">""The bigger they are, the harder they stand.""</span></div></div><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Team Scarab - Arnold's Guild"" type=""button"">Team Scarab - Arnold's Guild [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Team Scarab - Starring: Anthony (Lugia), Josh and Matt (Ridlins) - <span class=""bb-i"">""Mystery isn't.

It would take a lot to actually say every bit of details from his life until now, but we shall go with the important parts.<br/><br/>Eralion was born from a Mawile father and a mother Pangoro in a forest far from Allure town. We could say it was an awkward family, but both of Eralion’s parents loved each other. They worked long hours in the forest to defend the smaller creatures that would be too weak to fight, protected them from harm. Eralion look up at them, proud of having parents like these, though that was before he started to hear about guild’s from some passer by. Those people talked to his parents quite some times, asking for directions to a mystery dungeon that was a bit farther north from their forest. Though a lot of times it was starting to get night and his parents usually invited them to stay for the night. Because of this, Eralion heard lots of stories of guilds, people helping out others, working side by side. When the guest left, Eralion asked lots of times to his parents about if he could go to Allure town to join a guild, though because of how far away it was, they said no, because it was too risky to move. Eralion though didn’t give up. Instead of asking more and more, he started to train, fighting and punching, also learning from the old Wobbufett in the forest who gave advices to travellers. Both Eralion and the old Wobbufett got along quite fine, and it was also that way he learned to use counter, a move that normal Pancham could not learn. <br/><br/>After quite some training, Eralion asked his parents again if he could go to the guild now, being stronger than before. His parents said no again, though Eralion didn’t give up. One day during his parents usual patrol, he followed them in secret. It was then that he saw a primeape going to hit a zigzagoon with a karate chop. His parents were about to go and help, though Eralion moved quicker. He moved in front of the zigzagoon and used counter. When the strike hit, Eralion’s parents were horrified, only to have Eralion strike back the primeape full force, actually damaging him so much that he almost fainted, with Eralion holding on, giving a bit of breathing from the hit. He then quickly rushed and used Karate Chop also, finishing off the ape. His parents were surprised by this, but also mad for him to go into so much risk there. Eralion looked at them, before giving a smile, telling them he was alright. Sure he took some damage there, but he still felt like he could continue fighting. His parents looked at each other concerned.<br/><br/>That night his parents told him he could go to the guild after all, though that he should be careful. Eralion nodded, saying that he would. Finally he was going to have some adventure.<br/>The next morning he packed up everything that he needed, and gave his last goodbye’s to his parents. He then left his home. He wanted to return one day when he would have become much stronger and able to protect the forest, but for now the prospect of a new adventure loomed overhead.<br/><br/>Though his travels weren’t as fun and games as he thought it would be. One of those days he was passing in large mountain territory where many old ruined buildings were. As he passed by, he heard screaming, creatures going and running away. What he saw was a granbull, attacking nearby dragon types, laughing at them. This made Eralion’s blood boil. The granbull was already damaged a bit, but not enough to actually be defeated by any creatures around. Eralion rushed forth and used karate chop on the thing, only to have it turn around and then headbutt him right in the arm. This hurted Eralion a lot. The granbull moved closer and closer to Eralion.<br/><br/>“Well well… a little hero want to stop me… how cute…. Now where was I… oh right….” The granbull says before going to use headbutt again, though Erion resisted and used counter, striking the thing back full force, weakening him more.<br/>“Why you little… able to use counter eh… you won’t resist long though.” He says. He was right. Eralion could not resist another hit. He started to run full force, going to get away from the thing. The thing started to chase after him, though weakened cause of the damage Eralion caused to him. Eralion had to find somewhere to hide… something to help him… something….<br/><br/>It was then that something in him just slightly broke as he heard the footsteps moving closer and closer to him. He looked to the direction of the granbull, slight energy being felt from the ground of the ruins,<br/><br/>“There you are… well… time to fi…” he start to say before Eralion got up, his eyes in a new rage.<br/>""Still have so...” was the last thing before Eralion, who in a last attempt, rushed and striked the granbull right in the face, faster than anything he ever did before. He had just used bullet punch! The granbull falled on the ground, KO now. It was then that multiple dragon types walked by, looked at Eralion who was breathing deeply. He lost consciousness then.<br/><br/>When he got back to himself, he was in a large cave with a couple of dratini’s playing in the corner. His wounds were patched with bandages. As he look up, he saw a Dragonite pass near him.<br/>“Ah… Finally awake… Here…” she says before giving him a plate of berries.<br/>“You should be hungry…. Eat up.” She says. Eralion smiled and ate up, hungry like heck at the moment. He looked at his arm that he used bullet punch with. He saw a slight silver lining under his fur, but not much else. How did he even use that move anyway. He wasen't a steel type, and pancham could not learn such move. But also they could not learn counter. He knew he was different, but that different and able to use that attack?<br/><br/>After eating, he thanked the Dragonite family before going and leaving, going back on his way to Allure town. He still had a lot of road to do, and he knew his adventure wasen’t over yet.<br/>Appearance: He looks like a normal pancham, though under his fur of his left and right arm, theres is a slight silver coloring.<br/><br/> Differences: He trained many hours with a Wobbufett to be able to learn counter. He will also be able to learn steel type move cause of his strange genetics, though he will retain his normal typing.</div>"

How is such an incredibly old object (as old as Davis) able to BOND to a POKEMON? Let alone function after being exposed to the elements for all these years?

As unique as you want your character to be, in the end if you go as far as that, it just begins to feel more alien than something that can be naturally explained through a biography. Point is, you're better sticking to a Pokemon with already viable defence rather than trying to force a unique approach to your character.</div>"

I will edit. I might just nake him able to learn the moves without that thing. let me edit.

And by going unique, I at least made it that my guy had something else. Who said the arm could not connect to pokemons if the old technologie was advanced enough. I know it was a bit touchy there but it was a part that was going to make him unique more then anything. I didn't think op cause it would be damaged already, not fully functionnal, just the attacks could be used with it.

But I removed it completely from app and make it that he will learn steel type moves, though it would be his strange genetics instead. There.

To Levita, little went wrong with her life, and she couldn't be happier.<br/><br/>Until she realized the harsh reality of life. Levita finally realized how intolerant and cynical Pokemon could be; there was always news of some bandit capturing this, someone stealing that. Tragedy had struck the family as well, as Levita's father Sirus, who she always idolized, had suddenly disappeared on one of his journeys, which sent Levita, Cobust, and their remaining mother into a depression; from depression came determination, however. Both Levita and Cobust had decided to continue on their father's legacy of explorers — Levita was convinced that her father was dead and wanted to gain the fame her father had wanted, while Cobust wanted to investigate on their father's disappearance by joining into a powerful guild — Levita did not know which guild it was, but it was certain they were going to be traveling down different paths. With what she could carry with her light weight, Levita went off to be an independent explorer, who generally took up jobs any time, anywhere, while remaining unaffiliated with any guild. <br/><br/>And even after this period of time, Levita still had a long way to build up the fame her father had...but she was going to achieve that goal no matter what. With her cheery attitude and her street-smarts, Levita was going to rise.<br/><br/>Appearance: Levite does not appear very different from other Drifloons; the only few visual differences are the ends of her strands, which appear like rounded triangles instead of hearts, and the cloud fluff on her head, which is light grey instead of white. <br/><br/>Differences: Drifloon has inherited one of her several family's moves, Tailwind, which increases the user's speed, from some unknown line. She will evolve into a Drifblim, though it may be later than usual. <br/><br/>(Trivia:<br/>— Levita often daydreams and sketches with her tiny notebook in her belt-satchel.<br/>— Levita can navigate in a directional fashion using her Tailwind and Gust.<br/>— Levita likes scaring other explorers on the road, which often brings her trouble.)</div>"

Tell me if you find anything wrong with it.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""App"" type=""button"">App [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Name: Rebecca Crescent<br/><br/>Species: Ralts<br/><br/>Gender: Female<br/><br/>Moves: <br/>	Confusion<br/>	Teleport<br/>	Disarming Voice<br/>	Lucky Chant<br/><br/>Bio: <br/>	Rebecca and her brother Leon were born princess and prince into a small yet proud kingdom. It wasn’t all that impressive, in retrospect, and they were always butting heads with another similar group of Gothitelle for one excuse or another, but they both had a happy family, which was really all that mattered to them.<br/>	Of course, that only lasted for a good nine years before their mother started showing signs of a terminal illness, likely due to some form of poison. While Leon and their father went to search for a cure, Rebecca elected to stay by her mother’s side until the end. The conversations held between the young Ralts and her mother would come to shape the life of the former, as the frail queen would make sure to stress the importance of following the heart to what she saw as a creative and passionate young mind. After a week, the queen had passed on, leaving the family to find their own ways of moving on.<br/>	True to form, Rebecca later began to develop quite the enthusiasm for expression, mainly drawing and reading, while Leon became withdrawn in the pursuit of growing stronger. After she’d sketched just about everything she found worth sketching in her home, she decided to venture outside, to ruins that had long since been declared off-limits to her and most of the kingdom. All the more reason why it would be a fun little adventure, right?<br/>	The dark, cold steel corridors were unlike anything Rebecca had ever seen or heard of. It’s atmosphere both frightened and tantalized her, and as she traversed deeper into the derelict facility, she noticed the slightest traces of life, from lights turning on and off to the occasional voice over the loudspeakers. When she had gotten the nerve to speak to the apparition, it introduced itself as being little more than “A Ghost in the Shell.” Rebecca thought that name was kind of stupid, and persuaded it to let her call it Ergo. Ergo led her through the halls, to a room he described being “like a library, but cooler.” The machines in the room were run down, and though Ergo himself couldn’t fix it due to being incorporeal, but he eventually managed to guide Rebecca into fixing the ones that mattered, as well as how to use them.<br/>	The worlds presented beyond the screen was beyond amazing to Rebecca. Though she couldn’t stay there forever, she would come back to visit the Rotom whenever she thought she could get away with it, always amazed by the stories,adventures, and emotions that would lay in store for her. Eventually, all this did was strengthen her own wanderlust, inspiring her to find something to fill the hole in her heart that had been widening since her mother’s passing. Leaving a note at home that explained her true feelings, she left home with little more than some art supplies and her favorite scarf.<br/><br/>Appearance: <br/>	Nearly identical to that of a normal Ralts, with the exception of her bright blue eyes hidden behind her hair. She commonly wears a crimson scarf. A parting gift from her mother, she asserts that it has some sort of mystical effect on how cool she is, but these claims are dubious at best.<br/><br/>Differences: <br/>	Rebecca, like all female members of her line, can learn Moonlight. This version can be used on other party members in addition to herself.</div></div><br/></div>"

Just the normal brown and cream. However the tuft of fur on his head seems a bit more scruffy than average. He is often seen wearing a dark blue vest and red bandana, and never leaves home without his trusty walking stick that doubles as a weapon in a tense situation.<br/><br/>Differences: None currently.<br/><br/>Moves:<br/>-Thunder Punch<br/>-Ember<br/>-Taunt<br/>-Scratch<br/><br/>Ability: Iron Fist - Boosts the power of punching moves.<br/><br/>Bio: Ukki’s life, in the beginning, wasn’t all that interesting, in his eyes at least. He grew up in a small village not too far off Allure and Treasure as the son of an explorer pair. Though the two weren’t world renowned, they were locally famous within the town itself, always working to help those whom needed it. Now this was all well and good, except for the fact that Ukki himself was always addressed as not himself, but the son of explorers.<br/><br/>The little chimchar would always try his very hardest to prove that he was something more than just that, often going out of his way to do something interesting or remarkable, but would only end up hearing something along the lines of, ‘You’re just like your folks when they were your age.’ <br/><br/>Fed up with this, one day while his parents were out on a mission, he snuck his way to Birchwood Forest. He was going to prove he could take on a dungeon all by himself, then they’d see.<br/><br/>Unfortunately for Ukki, this was easier said than done. While the pokemon there were weak, at the time, he was even weaker. A level 2 chimchar had no business being there without backup, something Ukki was forced to learn the hard way. As he made his way through the forest, he was jumped by a rather aggressive high level beedrill. <br/><br/>Ukki, for a while, took the brunt of the damage due to his opponent’s superior speed. He stalled as much as he could, hoping maybe Blaze would kick in and give him the last burst of energy he needed to get outta there. However, even with his health dwindling, the ability had yet to activate.<br/><br/>As the beedrill finally closed in on the cornered and weakened chimchar, a strange instinct flooded Ukki’s mind. His left paw closed up into a fist, and when the bug got close, he swung with all his might. To his shock, as his fist made contact with the other pokemon’s face, his entire paw was coated in sparks. The beedrill fell to the ground,now fainted from a single powerful critical hit.<br/><br/>At that moment, Ukki discovered two things. One, he’d discovered his ability to use a move his father used all the time. Thunder Punch. Two, his ability wasn’t Blaze at all! It was Iron Fist, which also happened to be his father’s ability.<br/><br/>It was then that his parents rushed in, and after hugging him and giving him a stern talking to they’d decided that he was at the appropriate age to begin training. And so for the next few years they trained. He fought along side his parents through smaller time dungeons, doing all he could to make them proud. However, this didn’t change his reputation as merely the son of explorers, much to his frustration.<br/><br/>Recently, he’s decided it was time to leave the nest. So after sharing a hug or two with his family, he set out to finally make a name for himself. He was going to travel to the places most pokemon only dream of, and maybe even join a guild. Only time will tell if he succeeds in his goal.</div>"

He was part of a growing colony, with hundreds of nincada and fewer ninjasks. He technically didn't have a name at that time, because there wasn't much need for names if you looked the exact same as everyone else. As the colony got bigger, the colony spread out, parts of it even in the town itself before they were shooed out of the town. Chip was lucky enough to fine an abandoned building where he was able to stay and grow, physically and mentally. He picked up some of the social norms of the town after a year or so, and even learned part of the language there. Not enough to speak fluently, but enough to introduce himself, or saying what he wanted. He rarely left the abandoned building and was able to 'befriend' a joltik that lived in the trash can outside of the house, and the dedenne who lived in the house's left wall.<br/><br/>City life was definitely a change for him, because his antennas picked up so much more than when he lived underground. He got the name Chip because he didn't already have a name, and he loved to munch on chips. They reminded him so much of dried up leaves, except they actually have taste. He kept hearing of a 'guild', and even though he didn't know what a 'guild' thing was, he wanted to join it. Really badly. He figured that a new place means new friends, and that joltik in the trashcan hadn't moved from his curled-in sleeping position for days. It may have taken him about four hours to find the place, but once he finally got in, he knew that it must be some type of guild place! It smelled like there was food someplace, and he eventually found the stairs and went up to the right room to join. He knew because he heard a squawking voice yell quietly at him for coming in so late. Another voice quieted the squawking one and asked why he was there, to which he used his normal introduction. ""Hello. Am 'Chip'. Want to join 'Guild,'"" Chip exclaimed, and the voice stayed quiet for a moment. Not even the annoying one talked. ""Well, what team would you like to join, or would you like to start your own?"" and Chip made his own team. Team Chip, destined to be the greatest team ever! ... Until no one else joined his team.<br/><br/>Chip eventually went on his first expedition in one of the easiest areas to fight in, according to everyone in the guild, and he defeated a few foes and learned a new trick or two before retreating like a baby back to the guild when he heard about 20 giant footsteps coming his way at a rapid pace. To this day, that was the only 'mission' he ever took on Team Chip, mostly because he quit after the fifth day of loneliness. To be honest, he never even completed the mission, which was to defeat a Conkeldurr somewhere in the forest. Maybe those giant steps were the conkeldurr and his friends? But no matter what, Chip had heart. He wasn't good at fighting, but damn was he a nice kid.<br/>Appearance: Normal nincada.<br/>Differences: None</div>"

The Underground Gang as it was called (ironically, their base of operations were hardly, if ever, underground, and they were far from subtle) were frequently involved with gang battles that caused a lot of destruction for a small amount of control over certain area of the neighborhood. <br/><br/>Scraps' parents, however, was not interested in that sort of life, and moved back into Allure Town for a more casual replacement, and ended up placing themselves in a Fighting Dojo association – the most notable one being Lee's Dojo, though there were many others throughout some towns and cities. They believed it was better for their children to live away from negative influences despite their troubled pasts. Overall, Scraps' family was from the darker side of town, but they haven't experienced any direct serious tragedy.<br/><br/>Scraps was even able to befriend some other Pokemon, along Kawazu, a Mienfoo, who claimed that his mom was the manager of a Fighting Dojo in a more distant land. While the Mienfoo often came up with stories that were often flashy and fake, they had formed a friendship that lasted for some years, and occasionally sparred. <br/><br/>Gang life eventually came back to haunt them, however, especially with some separate family affairs, debts, and fights, and Scraps' parents decided to place him into the Allure Town's guild in hopes that he could fully stay away from the gangster life that awaited their family along with some of his still young siblings; they were rapidly placed into the guild, but due to recent complications, were placed into different rooms with different teams. Now away from his regular life, Scraps tries to make the best out of his new surroundings, doing whatever was needed to survive. He writes to his friend every week in the guild, and often refers to him as he talks. <br/><br/>Differences: No physical difference, though Scraps wears a white scarf around his torso. </div>"

It was during this time when Nina was given a strange necklace with a very bright tear-shaped crystal in it. Said crystal resembled a diamond, save for the fact that it seemed to give off light whenever it was dark. This, however, wasn't going to last, as Alex was chosen to guard the light orb, some sort of artifact that could end all life as we know it if it was put into the wrong hands. She took that job so seriously, that she tried to force the others into moving closer to the orb. This caused some tension with Joseph, who liked the house he lived in for the past ten years, but not so much with Nina, who always wanted to see more of the world than just her front door and porch. Tension only rose as the two continued to argue about where they should live, and eventually, it led to them splitting up. <br/><br/>Alex apparently ended up 'getting' Nina on the weekends, while Joseph ended up with her on the weekdays, which kinda annoyed Nina, mainly due to the fact that, at least according to her, weekends were supposed to be fun, and, unfortunately, Alex's place wasn't. At all. Yes, as it turns out, Alex's job was guarding an orb that was located in the middle of a stinky, nasty, wet swamp, and she lived right under the thing, too. The cave that she lived in was barely large enough for just Alex alone, let alone Alex and Nina. From that point onwards, Nina vowed to get away from this place, even if Alex was always very nice to Nina. The place only continued to get on her nerves more, as, whatever things actually worked down there pretty much broke weekly, and almost always, the lift was broken on Saturday, only for it to be fixed on Sunday... which meant that Nina would almost always have to sleep outside on Saturday, outside in the stinky swamp. There also wasn't enough food for two pokemon in Alex's place, as apparently, being a guardian of some orb didn't pay all that much, despite it being such an important job.<br/><br/>All of this only made Nina's desire to leave grow over the years, and it seemed like there was no escape from this, no, she couldn't just walk away, the other pokemon of the swamp would notice her, and bring her back to Alex's house, if you can call it a house, and every time she tried to teleport via some badge an explorer by the name of 'Desia' dropped near Joseph's house, it wouldn't let her, with the badge saying something about 'emergency' mode, and not knowing where to teleport her, or something stupid. That didn't stop her from keeping the badge, and trying every Saturday when the lift broke down, though. Eventually, a group of pokemon came to steal something from Alex, and from what Nina heard, it might have been the orb. At this point, she didn't care, she just wanted to leave this place, so, the first chance she got, she tried to go with them to whatever amazing place they went that wasn't here. She leaped at them, shouting ""WAIT FOR ME!"" as the group, which consisted of a grey snivy, a magnemite with three magnets, a pale-looking sylveon, a dark blue gyrados, and a jolteon, teleported away. She was just a bit too late, and didn't get teleported, however.<br/><br/>Lying on the ground, crying at her failed attempt, Nina was defeated. This was her last chance, her final attempt before just giving up and staying with her mom instead of going off and exploring, however, Alex emerged from her cave of a home, and walked up to Nina. ""Did you want to leave this place?"" Alex asked Nina, who nodded, not wanting to lie anymore. ""You want to join an exploration team, don't you?"" Alex asked Nina again, who hadn't really thought about joining anything like that prior to this. Exploration sounded fun, though, always having a change of scenery, never really staying in one place, so, she nodded to that, as well. ""I'll take you to a guild,"" Alex then assured Nina, who dried her tears, and asked ""R-really?"" Alex nodded, and the two set off to find a guild. Thanks to Alex's status around the swamp, no pokemon dared to attack her, or Nina, for that matter, and it didn't take too long before they came across what looked to Nina like a sprawling metropolis with far too many pokemon in it. Nina was amazed, but Alex, having been here before, wasn't as surprised by it. The two quickly found the Allure Town guild, evidently run by an audino, but that was where Alex left Nina, who had to take her first steps into the guild on her own.<br/><br/>Appearance: She looks fairly normal, aside from her necklace.<br/>Differences: Nina has the 'Light' sub-type, and has a move relating to said type. She may learn more as she grows stronger.</div>"

There, she found herself cornered by an appropriately enraged mother Sandslash. She didn’t try to act tough – she begged for mercy, without recourse after all. Lona – that was the Sandslash’s name, as she would learn – spared her in the end, but didn’t simply let her leave. She kept Thassa in that burrow, and she raised her out of a strange sort of pity, fed her and read to her but kept her away from her own young until they were big enough to defend themselves.<br/><br/>	Only then, after the first year, did Lona allow her quasi-prisoner to emerge from that burrow. She was allowed to play with the others – the brothers Lantenel, Yunkai, and Konten. By then she was bigger than they, stronger too, but disputes were always one-sided: Thassa was handled punitively the first time she bit one of her… for lack of a better word, brothers, and after that she never challenged them. She was always last in line, but in a way, it was better than being alone. She… learned to love them, to think of them as her family, and over time the tensions eased as even Lona ceased to think of her as a threat. <br/><br/>	For the next year, things went with relative harmony! She grew protective of her brothers, and in time she began to refer to Lona as her mother. But Thassa was growing at an alarming rate, too, and her appetite grew with it. Her diet of berries (supplemented with the occasional egg for vital protein) had become far too lean, and although her nature was no secret, Lona refused to kill for her. The incessant, gnawing hunger began to keep her awake at night, and she always looked a little too long at the smaller creatures that visited the burrow. It’d begun making folks uncomfortable… and surely, not without reason. <br/><br/>	When it finally happened, when a small pidgey landed far too close to her restive form hidden in the grass, things changed. Her family watched in horrid fascination as the thing struggled, those slender fangs buried all too deep in its breast, feathers and streaks of blood plastering Thassa’s snout as her prey slowly grew still and finally slipped down her throat… None of them quite looked at her the same after that. Some of the family’s smaller friends stopped coming around, too. <br/><br/>	Over the next three months she learned to hunt and to feed herself, and her family grew increasingly uncomfortable with it. She couldn’t talk to them about the thrill of the hunt, as she had certainly learned to enjoy it, and that bothered them just as much as the necessity.  Confident that she would finally be able to take care of herself, Thassa finally decided to leave, to strike out on her own. She left the burrow on the Sunswept Plains in good standing with her family, and was soon drawn to nearby Treasure Town to seek her fortune! …She still maintains contact with Lona and her brothers, visiting them periodically, and has presently moved into an old abandoned burrow on the outskirts of town. It’s a very nice burrow. Lantenel helped her dig it a little deeper and fix it up – nothing like a sandshrew to help shore up a good solid hole in the ground. <br/> <br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">Appearance: </span></div><br/>	Thassa is a little different from the average Ekans. She’s a solid seven feet in length [to the average 6’07”], with the girth to match, scales that are dark like a bruise, and her eyes are pools of Merlot ‘round the narrow black iris. Starting just behind the head her neck is covered with mangy tufts of black fur, reminiscent of her father’s, which she typically has a hell of a time keeping clean. <br/><br/><div class=""bb-center""><span class=""bb-b"">Differences:</span></div><br/>	Her Hydreigon father’s blood runs a little too strong in her veins. This is the cause of her… abnormal appearance, and gives her access to Scary Face. This does <span class=""bb-b"">not</span> give her access to the Dragon subtype or any associated moves.  </div>"

He teased other pokemon when he got the chance, nothing too hurtful, more just playful jokes such as ""Be careful or you might fall down."" Or ""Gee, I wish I had such a big head, ehe."" One day a pokemon that was getting fed up with all his playful jabs lured him out of town with the prospect of adventure. Having always wanted to join a team and go exploring Falvev jumped at the chance to join his friend out in the wilderness. Falvev met his friend, a Sneasal named Sherru and wander into the mountain that he had taken him to, under the impression that this was an exam to get his rescue badge. It was a foolish thought, Sherru didn't even have anything indicating this was the case, but Falvev was too excited to worry about this.<br/><br/>He entered the mountain with bright eyes and a wide smile and picked up his first item: a sleep seed. He turned it over a few times and pipped in happiness before turning to ask Sherru what their objective was. Sherru told him they were looking for a Fearow who's wing had been broken and had crash landed on the mountain. The Fearow wasn't actually injured of course or they wouldn't send in rookies. Falvev pumped himself up and ran off ahead, though when he met his first opponent, a Spearow, he knew he was rather outmatched. ""That's okay, flying is to weak to ice."" He stated, looking back to make sure his friend was there to deal with it. Sherru dove out of the shadows and slamed into the Spearow, taking it out effortlessly. Falvev gave a sigh of relief and they continued on into the mountain, taking out enemies as a team along the way.<br/><br/>The first path down was where it happened, Falvev hopped down the hole, yelling about their first milestone, and turned around to see that Sherru and the hole had disappeared. He blinked a bit, wondering how that could have happened, but shrugged it off. He wasn't overly knowledgeable of how dungeons worked after all, he figured that Sherru was just somewhere ahead of him, or had run off without him. He continued forward, eventually calling out for the Fearow he was looking for. He eventually heard a squawk and ran towards the direction of it.<br/><br/>There never was a Fearow for the test, and Sherru had waited back on the first floor for a rescue team they sent for. Falvev walked into a Spearow nest and was immediately assaulted with pecks until he fled out of it. He was rather badly battered at this point, and stumbled around until his strength failed and he collapsed.<br/><br/>Sherru had never meant to cause that much harm to Falvev, he just thought the Chikorita needed a lesson, not to tease others about ""Sunny gems"" and ""Creepy dark powers."" Sherru however was worried when he was not sent back after a while, in hindsight Sherru realized that since Falvev didn't have a badge, he would not appear back in town simply because he fell in the dungeon. But Sherru couldn't go in after him or risk more danger. So Sherru applied for a Rescue Team to find Falvev.<br/><br/>Falvev woke having been dragged off to some other part of the dungeon. A captive of some pokemon there. They would make him fight for them or perhaps just dispose of him, either way Falvev was sure he didn't want to be a part of it. He was lucky to rouse before they came back. He tried to stand and found his leg was injured, it wasn't when he passed out so his captor probably did so to keep him from escaping. He scrambled out of a nest of random objects that he had been placed in, tumbling over the side of metal, straw, and plastic onto the stone of the mountain again. He winced and raised his head up to see....bones. So that wasn't a good sign. There were pokemon bones scattered around the nest here and there. He really had to get out of the place, so he started to crawl before hearing a roar behind him. He turned around to see an Aerodactyl, and simply had the words, ""Oh..."" in response. The Aerodactyl didn't seem to appreciate him trying to escape and it snapped its jaws forward, lifting him by the leaf. He cried out and flailed about as he was tossed back into the nest and bounced harshly on a bit of the objects there. As he was advanced upon again he remembered that he had gathered the sleep seed earlier, and checked to see if he had it on hand still. He found it, but it had been tossed a few feet away from the throw he had sustained. Steeling himself, he leapt forward off his good legs towards it and reached to grab it. Being caught in mid-air by the Aero's jaws. They dug into his belly and back and he squirmed, faintly, losing his strength again. He had grabbed it though, and with his current position he could easily lob it down the bird dinosaur's throat. He winced and whined as a drag of the Aero's teeth drew more blood before throwing the sleep seed.<br/><br/>It took only a few moments for the Aero's jaws to lax enough for Falvev to drop, but he was already fading out himself as he slammed back into the nest for a third time. When the Rescue Team that came to save him arrived, he had found himself awoken during the fighting, and in pain until he returned back to town. He had been holding onto a queer book when he was warped back, and learned that Sherru had both tricked him and saved him. He wasn't quite sure what to think about that, but he left his exploration with a prize at least. The book was written in an ancient text though, and he could not read it at all. He wandered town for a few days to try to find someone that could decipher it for him but none could. He at least was able to read the cover, written in human text, had the words 'Arceus' on it. The creation pokemon...but there were other words on the cover that were written in a different language.<br/><br/>With no luck translating the rest, he determined it was Arceus that had saved him, and that he would do his best to defend others. He would join a rescue or exploration team and search for pokemon that had been in situations like he had, that needed help. He wasn't too much of a fighter himself but he was sure he could aid the teams in terms of tactics and support moves, and perhaps some of the luck Arceus had given him.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Appearance</span>: Falvev appears very much like a standard Chikorita, the only notable differences are that his leaf is a bit more shiny than the norm and that he tends to carry a small, human book he found detailing the lore of Arceus. He of course cannot read it himself but he carries it and pretends that he can. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Differences</span>: He can channel the healing his drains and Synthesis do to others by closing his eyes and concentrating, an effect granted due to his dedication to Arceus and life. He does not recieve the benefit of the healing as well doing this though.<br/><br/>( I feel the bio might be a little much...^^; )</div>"

There was snow on the ground year-round, which made it nearly impossible to grow crops. It was a fairly successful mining town, which was a good thing, since trade was very important to keep it going. Without the ability to grow their own food, they had to constantly import food from the south. Trade caravans heading along the long, winding road that lead to the town weren't an uncommon sight.<br/><br/> Dexter was the oldest of 8 pups, and as a result, was also the biggest and strongest. He would constantly pick on his younger siblings, as well as other Pokemon that happened to be smaller than him. He had several friends that would help him bully other Pokemon. Sometimes they would do harmless things, such as exploring the town's outskirts. Most of the time, though, they were up to no good. Dexter and his gang of troublemakers soon gained a bad reputation among the townsfolk.<br/><br/> Eventually, the townsfolk, and even Dexter's own family got tired of him and his group causing trouble. They were all cast out of Frigid Peak, and it was made very clear that they wouldn't be allowed to come back. Dexter and his group wanted to get back at the people who had banished them from their hometown, but at the moment there was nothing they could do. Just when they were ready to give up, they stumbled upon something amazing.<br/><br/> There was an abandoned outpost not too far from Frigid Peak that had a worn-out trading caravan parked nearby. Okay, it may not have been that amazing, but it gave Dex an idea. If the residents of Frigid Peak were going to treat them like bandits, then they were going to be bandits. There were plenty of supplies left at the outpost that allowed them to fix it up. They then set off in search of one of the caravans on the road to Frigid Peak.<br/><br/> Their first raid was easy. There was normally nothing in the area that posed a threat, so they caught the driver completely off guard. They managed to get away with all of the supplies that the townspeople were trading. It was filled with all kinds of gemstones and ores, which they managed to sell on the black market.<br/><br/> After they'd raided several more caravans, some filled with ores from the mines, and some filled with supplies that the townspeople needed, the traders were beginning to get smart. They brought bodyguards with them to fend off the Dexter's bandits, and sometimes took a different path up the mountain. There were also guild members coming after them. This made things a lot more difficult, but they managed to avoid getting caught, and most of their raids were still successful.<br/><br/> Everything changed, however, when a team of guild members found the outpost that Dex's group was using as their headquarters. They waited until night to attack, and ended up catching the group of bandits completely off guard. They put up a fight, but most of them ended up getting arrested that night, including Dexter. The group of bandits disbanded after that. Dexter never saw any of them again.<br/><br/> He spent several years in prison after that. He constantly got into fights, one of which resulted in a scar on his chest. The guards were douchebags. He was confined to a cell most of the time. Needless to say, he hated it there. He was forced to sit behind the bars of his cell, waiting for freedom. After what felt like decades, he was finally released.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Appearance:</span> Dexter's fur is a lot thicker than normal due to the climate he was raised in.

He was born in a family of pure fighting types. They never seemed to rarely interact with other types of Pokemon out there and merely just hung out with only pure fighting types, not even mixed fighting types. Kick's current family are a varying generations of Pokemon living under one gigantic roof and as you can assume, his only family was pure fighting types. Kick's story began when conceived he entered his world with his mother being a Mienshao and his father, obviously, a Hitmonlee. The family focused on strict discipline, hard work, and training. <br/><br/>When he was barley at the age of toddler, his father put him inside of the house's training regiment for discipline, strength, and orderly conduct. He spent most of the mornings waking up before the sun could even rise, help with cooking and cleaning, and spend until the afternoon sparring with his various amounts of cousins that inhabited the dojo. In the afternoon, he would spend time with his father mainly either practicing or studying the ways of combat and in between those practices have his mother help relax his fatigue. He continued this regiment for several years, honing his skills in the art of kicking and the powers it can bring just one person. Now, as most Hitmonlees are rather good at kicking, Kick was rather... Obsessed by the act of kicking. It maybe has to do something with his brain or somehow his life style brainwashing him into being this way... Maybe actually both. <br/><br/>Now, being only confined to the dojo made Kick rather... Strange, when being viewed by actual normal raised Pokemon. He was very blunt with whatever he was trying to say, as his parents would have liked. He was always excited about fighting and being the strongest which also pleased his parents. He also is rather serious about the way of kicking, which also pleased his parents... You get the pattern here? Well, as he was obsessed in the way of kicking, he was always talking about something about kicking, be it wanting to kick something or discuss the interesting ways on how to kick stuff... He was just really into kicking. It wasn't really strange inside of his household, everyone in his family was obsessed by the way of fighting. Now, it would only be a matter of time before Kick would be able to leave the dojo to explore the world, and his parents knew this as it was tradition. <br/><br/>It took around fifteen years of hard work and training, but Kick was finally going to be let out of his dojo for the first time. The tradition was to explore the world and do whatever it takes to become stronger, however, use the powers only for good as they don't want to tarnish the reputation of their house. Now, once they have found peace within themselves, mentally and physically, he was supposed to go back to the dojo to become the new master, but only if they manage to truly be at peace. It was also in tradition that they bring a wife to support the new generations of the family, however, it could only be a pure fighting type. Kick was proud to carry on the tradition of his family and waved goodbye to the dojo as he would be gone for many years. He was only supplied with the bare essentials of living and bare knowledge of the vast world of other pokemon through out the world and how there were actually different types. So, the new rather strange and determined Hitmonlee was going to take the world by storm and soon become the strongest he can become. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Appearance:</span> He looks rather identical to any Hitmonlee except that he smaller than an average Hitmonlee, averaging around the height of 4'8. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Differences:</span> I guess the only difference I can really think of compared to others is that his family line is pure fighting type pokemon and nothing else. </div>"

It was simple to remember, and it's a nice syllable.<br/><br/>Species: WURMPLE<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Moves: String Shot - Poison Sting - Tackle<br/><br/>Bio: Bob the Wurmple is a wild Wurmple, interestingly enough; he was born and abandoned in the Birch Forest, where he and his egg-mates tried to survive the harsh (to them) world of the wild. Wurmple being easy prey to the myriad predators of Birch Forest, Bob (unnamed at the time) was one of only two surviving members of the brood - the other became a Cascoon and was promptly forgotten about. In his early weeks, Bob learned how to gather berries and hide from monsters - or, when he couldn't, he learned to use his string shot in order to slow them down enough for him to run. He learned to tempt predators with other foodstuffs - corpses or berries - so that he could sneak around them.<br/><br/>Less than a year ago, after finding a beautiful, alluring stone on a corpse, Bob saw a small adventuring party. A plant-type and a fire type, neither of whom were of species he recognized. They were clearly outsiders, and though instinct told him that they should have been predator and prey, they were equals. Bob was fascinated, amazed that instinct could be subverted such that two completely different beings could co-operate and survive in tandem. Ever since, he's had a sort of obsession with watching - sometimes even trying to communicate with - other outsiders, though he doesn't quite have a grasp on their language yet.<br/><br/>Now, this curious, somewhat intelligent wild Wurmple has decided to do something he's never done before - he's going to go to wherever these people come from. Perhaps he'll partake in whatever magic allows predator and prey alike to become equals. Maybe he'll finally find a purpose, like the many outsiders seem to have when they venture into his 'home'. <br/><br/>Appearance: Bob wears an everstone. String holds it around his neck.<br/>That's it.<br/><br/>Differences: Despite being weak, slow and generally just terrible at normal battle, Bob the Wurmple excels in thinking of creative solutions to his problems, and prides himself in his ability to use string shot for purposes that are not at all intended. He's trying to make his string shot strong enough such that he can hold on to it and swing with it like an Aipom swings on vines, mostly by experimenting with various berries and other consumables.<br/>Also of note is that Bob fears evolution. He's seen it happen, and he doesn't know what that thing that comes out of it is, only that it isn't the original. He doesn't know that the Everstone has protected him from the mighty beast that is Evolution, but if he did he'd hold on to it all the tighter.</div>"

Death doesn't care how much money you have, if you have a family, or how strong you are. Death comes for all. He looked at the corpses of his parents and he wept. He found a note from his parents stating a great many things. However he couldn't read so he simply left it alone. He lived in his cave alone and learned to care for himself very quickly.<br/><br/>After that Cobalt lived a fairly average life. He got up, ate his normal breakfast of berries, went and hunted for more, and then went back to sleep. That changed when he stumbled across the gold. He had no idea what to do with it as he had lived by himself in isolation and all he knew was that these rocks were very shiny. There was also a lot of the rocks as well. So he decided to begin taking them home.<br/><br/>It took him two weeks to bring all of the gold to his cave and when he was done he was significantly stronger. He became enamored by their shinyness and he began searching for more. He was obsessed with these shiny rocks and he needed more. He began to sleep less, he forgot to eat sometimes, the ever growing need to get these shiny rocks became consuming.<br/><br/>One day he was on his hunt for gold when he stumbled into the Crystal Chasm Mystery Dungeon. He became lost for a entire week. Even then though he continued to hunt for gold. He found none so he instead grabbed the next shiny thing he could find which was crystals. He found berries and Gummies to live off of until he could find his way out. He was slowly going feral as he continued to hoard crystals. He slowly began to give up on ever escaping as he found more and more crystals. He was attacked by a group of Sableeye as he grew tired and hungry near the end of the week. They had been angered by his theft of crystals and wanted them back. He was saved at the last minute by another rescue team which had been searching for a client. They defeated the Sableye and took him to the guild with them. They grew tired of calling him kid so they eventually took to calling him Cobalt because of his blue eye. He learned to communicate with them after a few months but when asked where he lived he never answered. He had forgotten where he stashed all of his gold. And the final dying words of his parents which he could now read.<br/><br/>Appearance: Cobalt has a blue eye instead of red eyes.<br/><br/>Differences: He has three moves that he shouldn't have learned yet due to his intense physical training.

He developed his fathers famous charisma and his mothers famous fighting skill as he grew up and seemed destined for greatness. That is, until the accident. As he was approaching the age to leave his parents and make his own way in the world, a season of heavy storms hit the tiny village that he lived in. One evening, the storms grew so powerful that roofs were ripped from homes, entire families were blown away and the village collapsed in on itself. Corrigan's entire home collapsed in on itself, injuring him. Sheltered under the rubble, he did not see the storm blow his family away and awoke several days later alone and with a broken leg.<br/><br/>Corrigan's life was ripped out from underneath him by a fight between Thundurus and Tornadus. The two had fought for days above the village, uncaring to the consequences. Thundurus, too tired to continue, descended on the abandoned village and took refuge within an abandoned home. Corrigan pulled himself from the rubble and watched the legendary Force of Nature lick it's wounds while it's brother, Tornadus, gloated and bragged above him. In his concussed mind, Corrigan realised it was the fault of these legendarys that his family was blown away and his village was destroyed. He swore vengeance on the Forces of Nature but they only ignored him with a flick of their hands, sending him flying.   <br/><br/>That was five years ago and he is yet to exact his revenge. Five years on, he has found himself in Allure Town and has been based there for several months. Corrigan works as an independent explorer and has become somewhat known around the local region for his friendly personality and worldly knowledge about legendary Pokemon (he's been doing his research). All the while, he is keeping his ear to the ground on word about his family (mother, father and two sisters) and the Forces of Nature duo - leads have pulled him across the Pokemon world but to no avail. Perhaps, however, these rumours of stirring legendarys might lead somewhere... <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Appearance:</span><br/>Corrigan, for all intents and purposes, is a regular Mankey. He has a rather rough-and-tumble, messy look due to spending many the night under the stars or fighting. He wraps a red bandanna tightly around his head and usually carries a small satchel for his possessions. He is usually found with a smile on his face, which has led to him becoming one of the more approachable explorers from the town. He possesses no power differences to other Mankey (he's not a dual-type).</div>"

Dragoncoil and holding a pointy stick to an Axew’s neck.<br/>	“No, wait! That’s not fair!” shouts his friend once he realizes he lost the mock-battle. Gavin lowers the stick.<br/>	“What’s not fair?” He asks, slightly annoyed.<br/>	“Why do you get to use a pointy stick? Where’s mine?”<br/>	“I made this one. You don’t get one because you didn’t make one!”<br/>	The Axew thinks about his predicament for a moment, but soon gets distracted by the activity down in Scale City. Gavin notices too and looks over in time to see two Pokemon walking into town. These aren’t just any Pokemon, though... These are new ones! He’s never seen these two around town before. One he recognizes as a Salamence, while the other is some sort of green lizard with leaves for a tail. “Who do you think those are?” his friend asks. Gavin realizes something.<br/>	“Maybe they’re <span class=""bb-i"">adventurers</span>!” he gasps.<br/>	“Adventurers? Don’t you mean explorers?”<br/>	“No. Adventurers.

An adventurer!”<br/>---<br/>	Getting to see the Salamence and Sceptile, the first two Pokemon from other towns to visit Scale City, had changed Gavin. There were other towns out there! Other places to explore! Other people to meet! He became obsessed with where they’d travelled and the things he heard about their adventures, eventually getting to the point where he would sit in his room for hours on end writing stories about their endeavors. Soon, though, he switched to writing about what he would do if he were a member of a guild. The places he’d go... The wonders he’d see with his own eyes... He could hardly wait.<br/><br/>	Years later, Gavin was still working to become an adventurer long after his friends had lost interest in the subject. He lived in a small house far from Scale City's entrance. By now his parents (both Gabite) were well aware of his desire to move out in order to see the world. His mom, a bit overprotective at times, wasn’t too keen on the idea. Meanwhile, his dad was indifferent about it (as he was about most things). To Gavin’s surprise, they had finally agreed to letting him move out after years of him pestering them about it. However, his joy didn’t last long once he found out that they had bought him a place just down the street instead... He decided to roll with it, though, taking what he could get.<br/><br/>	Gavin’s desire to travel, see the world, and join Denise’s Guild had stemmed from the day those now-famous explorers came to town. However, he’s still not sure if he’s up to the task and hasn’t yet attempted to form a team there. He's especially worried about his lack of damaging moves, but makes up for it with a very sharp stick he's been carrying around for almost eight years now. Currently, Gavin is helping with what he can in the city, trying to make a bit of money on the side and waiting for the right time to join the guild.<br/><br/>	He’s just been dragged into an argument with Danny, who he wanted to buy food from. Apparently, Danny now thinks that Gavin bought something from Bob and Ed’s stall and won’t sell him anything... Whoever “Bob and Ed” are...<br/><br/><span class=""bb-u""><span class=""bb-b"">Appearance:</span></span><br/>	He looks like most other Gible, but usually has a bag with him.

It was a place with red sand and rare Pokémon, ancient fossil types who live away from other civilization. However one day a group of Pokémon came to the valley. They were various steel type Pokémon who wished to study the rocks, artifacts, and geography around the Stardust Valley. They wanted to befriend the natives so they could work together. It took some time, and there were a few fights, but soon the fossil Pokémon and the steel Pokémon came to an agreement and started to live together.<br/><br/>Among those Pokémon was an Aggron researcher and a Rampardos Warrior. The Aggron, despite her size and strength, was a smart woman and had a fascination over meteorite shards and parts. The Rampardos respected intelligence as much as he respected strength, and so he set his sights on courting the Aggron. The two spent many years together training, fighting, and researching, and soon a baby was born. A little aron they named Gren. <br/><br/>Gren’s father took care of him, though many other villagers also taught him about life and other lessons. But from his father, Gren learned how to fight, to take hits and hit back twice as hard. Among the children Gren was the bravest, unafraid of any threats or challenges even though he’s often in-over his head. He lacks initiative and often reacts to danger as oppose to dealing with it immediately, but when he has a plan he lets nothing stop it. But not everything was peaceful in the Stardust Valley.<br/><br/>One day a gang of fighting Pokémon showed up. They defeated many of the villages guardians, including Gren’s father, and demanded riches and food. As many of the Pokémon were weak against fighting Pokémon they gave into their demands but with a trick; they in two weeks they would finish with excavation that would yield valuable treasure. If the bandits left the village alone right now, they let the bandits have the treasure. Their greed won out and the bandits said they would return in ten days, and they expect to see some treasure when they return. But they wouldn’t get any, as the villagers and researchers began to plan how they would drive away the bandits.<br/><br/>First they needed to train more Pokémon to become stronger. Gren was one of the many who volunteered to fight. Next they needed to figure out how they could counter their enemies. Among the Pokémon there were very few physic types, with the only one being a metagross who lead the research team. But thanks to his sheer intellect, he had a plan.<br/><br/>First they would need to set up traps for the bandits. Stealth rocks, spikes, sandstorms, anything to put the enemy at a disadvantage and already harmed. Then the metagross would teach the Pokémon moves that would help them beat the fighting Pokémon. He would teach them either aerial ace or bullet punch; one was highly effective against fighting types while the other would ensure that they could at least hit the bad guys first and do some damage. Gren’s mother also became to teach the other woman how to roar; to use their voice and scare the bandits away by making them seem much more powerful than they really were. Gren himself learned how to roar from his mother, allowing him to make a noise that sounded like a cross between an explosion and a dragon. Finally his father taught everyone a very basic but important skill: how to protect themselves from harm. Even the fists of fighting Pokémon won’t be able to hurt them if they know how to brace up and take a hit.<br/><br/>For ten days the people of the Stardust Valley prepared for the bandits. Those who couldn’t fight went to hide in the mountains, disguised as researchers and miners who were suppose to be looking for that treasure. When the fighting Pokémon arrived, everyone sprang their traps. Stones fell from the cliffs into the bandits, while ones who tried to run ahead stepped onto various spikes and poisoned needles. Gren’s father joined the thick of combat, smashing his head against the enemy while Gren finished them off with a Bullet Punch. Even his mother joined in the fighting revealing all the efforts of her research: aggronite. She transformed into a more powerful form that could easily shrug off the bandits fighting moves, allowing her to fight alongside her family against these villains.<br/><br/>After an hour of fighting the village of Stardust Valley were victorious. The fighting Pokémon, expecting their type effectiveness alone to let them win, were not prepared for the villagers traps and newfound abilities. They were driven away from the land and the town celebrated their victory. Gren himself found the experience to be very important to him, and on that day he told his parents that he wanted to do more than just stay in the village and become a guardian or a researcher. He wanted to travel the world and see what was beyond the mountains. Perhaps one day return and bring new knowledge to his parents. But he wished simply for adventure. With their blessing and guidance to a place to start, aron left home to begin his journey.<br/><br/>Appearance: Unlike most aron Gren has green eyes, hence his name. It’s a trait he picked up from his mother. He also appears to already start growing additional armored back plates like a Lairon, so his mother suspects that it won’t be long before Gren evolves.<br/>Differences: While Aron’s are known for their durability, Gren himself is very sturdy. It’s not unusual for him to withstand an attack that should have knocked him out, assuming he wasn’t already running on fumes before he got hit. And unlike most Aron’s or even Aggron, Gren knows the move Bullet Punch. While he can’t quite actually punch people yet he can simulate it by using his immense leg strength to rocket himself forward at surprising speeds, especially considering how sluggish he usually is. Though most of the damage comes from the speed of the attack rather than the force behind it, but thanks to moving quickly and being made of metal, Gren can make this attack pack a punch. <br/></div>"

She trained with all sorts of pokemon to learn how to heal, protect, and make others stronger. But that sort of thing was easier said than done. A few years after Miseri left home to help others, she went through a lot of trouble. Pokemon who never took care of themselves but expected Miseri to help them without question. Pokemon who didn't trust them and even tried to hurt them, just because they tried to help everyone. Some who even blamed them for all the horrible things that happened to them because she couldn't do more. It made it very hard for Miseri to want to keep helping people but she kept trying.<br/><br/>One day a powerful storm came when her group was trying to move between settlements. Being a small flying pokemon, Miseri was swept up by the storm and tossed very far away from her group. By the time she came to she tried to go back to them but couldn't find anyone. She tried to follow their trail but everywhere she looked she only found a dead end. She tried to find other people who might've seen them but they didn't know who she was looking for. Miseri didn't know how long she searched until eventually she just stopped. For four years she dedicated her life to helping others but she was met with scorn, distrust, and now solitude. She did everything she could to help others and all she got out of it was pain.<br/><br/>She couldn't give up. She didn't want to. She had given everything she had into her simple dream of helping others, she couldn't let this tragedy bring her down. As much as it hurt her, she knew she had to be strong. But even so, she cried knowing that everything she's been doing was pointless and no one appreciated it. She had to accept it though and keep going, keep helping others, and move on. She didn't know what else to do if she gave up. Miseri didn't want to know.<br/>Appearance: Miseri is a rare ""shiny"" cutiefly, with pink skin and wearing a red scarf with a white cross sign. Her wings are also rather ragged and scarred from her many years battling and surviving as a traveling healer, but they still let her fly just fine.<br/>Differences: Miseri has some psychic powers which manifests as a powerful telekinesis. It's helpful for her since she's physically too weak to handle most normal sized objects, but she can use her telekinesis to compensate. It's strong enough that she can focus her powers to hold a single pokemon up in the air no matter their weight and make it nearly impossible for them to move or escape until she looses focus.</div>"

There wasn't really all that much on either one, and, just like last time, I had no idea where to start. I adjust my bag, which held a whole lot of air at this point, but, was still important due to its strap being where I pinned my badge, and my only way back should anything go awry. The badge itself was nothing special, just a simple white-colored button with a heart shape drawn in black marker. The heart shape was to signify which guild I was from, in this case, Arnold's. This, of course, gave me about as many enemies as it did friends, but now wasn't the time to think about that, now was the time to think about my first actual adventure. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and picked one of the jobs at random. It was a job describing a lost magikarp in Birchwood Forest. The poor fish must be REALLY lost if it ended up there. The reward wasn't that great, but, I would be able to see my old home, once more. With a spring in my step, and a mission statement in my right hand-leaf, I headed out and into the world, the sunlight and fresh air making me want to run over to Birchwood Forest... and, given that it was pretty much the only thing my kind was good at, I decided to do just that, passing by a trio of pokemon, who were suspiciously hiding out in the bushes as I did.<br/><br/>The road to the forest wasn't too long, and it wasn't all that bumpy, so I wound up back in the forest in almost no time flat. As soon as I entered the place, I felt calmer, and, oddly enough, stronger.<i>Ah... now this is the kind of place where I belong!</i>I think as I head into the forest. For being a forest, it was quite bright, and, for some reason, wasn't at all set up how I remembered it being. Something was off about the place, that much was for sure. The waterfall that I used to play near was now much closer to the entrance than it used to, and old man Scott's house was nowhere to be seen... he used to live right near the waterfall, right? That's when I remembered something about mystery dungeons... they change their layout every time someone enters their area, meaning that it would be very easy to get lost, especially if someone new enters the place while you're still in it. Nobody actually knows why they change like that, and why they change so often, but, they still did... could there possibly be powers beyond the eighteen known types? A kind of power that cannot be described as anything that we know of? Is such a power even remotely possible? No... the eighteen types we have can describe literally everything... right? Eventually stopping that thought process, I simply continued on, no longer knowing where, exactly, I'll end up next. I end up bumping right into a bellsprout, who almost instantly uses Vine Whip on me. Given that it was a grass move, it didn't actually hurt all that much, however, I made it look like it did.<br/><br/>The Bellsprout comes closer to me, and probably regrets doing that when I tackle the thing... sure, it was still standing, but that seemed to hurt a lot more than Vine Whip hurt me... or, alternatively, more than Vine Whip could have possibly hurt it. That seemed to anger the bellsprout, who decided to try to react to my tackle with another Vine Whip... which didn't do that much. I hold back my laughter, and decide to keep it around for a bit loner, leering at the thing, which must have surprised it, and made it visibly lower its guard. The thing continued with Vine Whip as if it was the only move it knew, which was, sadly, likely given how young the poor thing was. Of course, it was still attacking me, so I had to fight back... I just didn't know why we had to knock out all these wild pokemon, especially the little ones, such as this bellsprout, but, I couldn't just stand here and get knocked out by it with its constant barrage of attacks that would surely follow me ignoring it and moving on. Trying to shake that thought, I tackle the bellsprout, once more, and watch as it collapses, allowing me to move on. It seemed to be holding an oran berry, as well, which I decided to keep for myself.<i>Why didn't it use the oran berry? I gave it time to do that...</i>I think as I place the berry in my bag, sure, it was technically mugging, by now, but this could mean the difference between life and death when I'm facing a stronger foe... one that may have an advantage against me. I then continue into the forest, not entirely liking what I had to do... but... that means that everyone else at the guild had to do this as well, right?"

She was breathing deeply at the moment. It had been a long way to get here, and she knew that her parents might just go and try to find her. She did not want to go back… She did not want to go and be forced to evolve. She started to walk into the town, and looked around the place. She saw Bob and Ed’s Stall, and stared at them a bit. She remembered that her family use to bring a good amount of merchandise to Bob’s side of the shop. Unfortunately, knowing how she ran away, if one of them were to know who she was, she might get some trouble.<br/><br/>She just continued to walk away, seeing Candace Bank. Suddenly her sixth sense was reacting, but she shakes it off. Seriously, why did she always have to feel every god dang ghost type in a town. It was pretty annoying for her. She continued her way, before passing by Carl’s storage and having the same dang sense starting to tingle. Guess this town has a good amount of ghost types as shop owners. It was really weird for her to be so far from home and sensing all this. But hey… It might be her chance to become stronger and maybe later on find out what she will do with her life.<br/><br/>She continue on and then arrived at Arnold’s. She looks at it. Maybe… maybe becoming an adventurer could actually help her out to become stronger. But then again… she heard that there were 2 guilds, and if you join one, then you usually end up having to fight the other. She looks up at the building. Should she even try? She was really not sure. Maybe she could just go in and try…<br/><br/>She walked forwards to the door, and suddenly she heard noises from underground. She looks down, seeing the grate.<br/>“Visitor, visitor…. What is it?” she asks. Celes backs away quickly.<br/><br/>“I… I don’t know, it kinda got off too quickly.” The voice on the other side says. She stares at the grate. She really was not sure about this. And wouldn’t joining a guild actually makes it that her parents might find her easier… Or it might actually make it that she would have a reason to stay in town without her parents. She just did nto now what to do now. To enter the guild and try to join it… or to leave and try to figure out what else she could do. It was a very tough choice for her. She backed away and then looked at the guild again. Maybe later… but for now she would just go and explore the town. Maybe she will find something interesting."

No.<br/><br/>Thankfully, as I narrate, I don't have to do that. Because, what I just came out of, it wasn't Hell. It was more of a mad dash, a hit-and-run, a game of bowling, whatever you called it. I got a few scratches on my body and a few nicks on my magnets, but at least I came out with my life. Excuse me, I forgot to give my name to you... my name, is Milloon Hall. I am... ah forget it. I'll just slip in details of myself as I continue narrating. Although, I may get bored to the point where I just stop narrating, but, it's the only thing that's not actually remotely boring... at the moment. Which still surprises me.<br/><br/>I came from a little community about 5/40 away from Allure Town. 5, as in it takes 5 minutes to directly get there. 40, as in it takes 40 minutes on a path to get there. The little knack we came up with gives the community another distinct thing, that and the Sitrus Berry hunt. I must however also add intolerance towards mineral Pokemon, which is why me and Davis used to hang around the house all day. (I'll get to Davis later.) The intolerance got so bad that he created me, just for a friend and someone to enjoy playing his games with. After that fateful day where he threw magnets and a bin of metal together, we had always been close; we fought wild Pokemon and bigoted kids, enjoyed his games and even slept in the same room... although, something kept bothering him. He refused to answer me on numerous times why we were staying here, even after I had a magnet forcibly pulled away from me. He'd often go off-topic, such as going outside to beat up some Pokemon as soon as I asked him that question. On the times where I confronted him, he'd make up inconsistent stories. An outrageous example would be getting freed by me from this computer, escaping here to hide from the 'Broken Ones.' Honestly, I just wish he told me.<br/><br/>However, it would seem he would continue keeping secrets from me. Many signals sent to Davis later, he had left the community like a ghost. In fact, some Budew suggested he was just a delusion, and that I wanted a friend - I actually believed that for a bit, until a brief second later when I poked out his leaves with a tackle. There was nothing involved in his disappearance. No window broken, no door opened, no wall crashed... heck, the place seemed CLEANER than usual.<br/><br/>That, my friends, was my Hell. True Hell cannot be described perfectly. What resembled Hell had existed in the town; unhelpful plant Pokemon, framing of evidence, and even an outright arrest by the local 'sheriff.' Basically, it went from pokes to jabs to stabs. I knew I had to leave... and I did. I didn't miss the place. Not even the Sitrus Berry Hunt. What was there to miss? The only thing I had ever loved had gone away abruptly, as if Arceus decided Davis was too good for me and wiped him for himself. I packed no bags, as they would probably notice and have me arrested for 'stealing' Davis' property. Heh. The only time they cared. This is my message to the community: ""Goodbye, you bloody racists."" I would've set the place on fire with a stray spark, but I wasn't cruel enough for that. Heck, I just wanted to find my friend, to be together with him and get back to living life... but, the only thing holding me back was a lack of determination. There just seemed to be a high probability that he'd be dead by now.<br/><br/>I was only 20 minutes into my escape. Just another half of the journey to Allure... to find acquaintances who could find my best friend. Leaves entangled themselves as they brushed pass branches in Birchwood Forest, the occasional moss-covered slab providing little help apart from being a distance indicator. The river seemed to flow endlessly and away from me, going from the end of my peripheral vision to the sharp horizon. The start of the river was hard to make out, but it had clearly flown from strange blue-white mountains, which only brave explorers knew the name of... not that I knew any explorers. I was on a flat path, but it would get rugged again in about five minutes, rivaling the white foamy river ahead in terms of grittiness.<br/><br/>Davis.

I notice something... that exact same waterfall that I saw not too long ago.<i>What!? No, I know I went in a straight line! Something just doesn't seem right, here...</i>I think as I test something. I observe the area, and recall which direction I came from. After figuring it all out, I turn to my right, and find... nope, this isn't the entrance, in fact, it's far from it. This was a new, and frankly unfamiliar part of the forest.<i>D-did someone else enter this place? I hope not, or I might never find my way to that magikarp.</i>was one of the thoughts running through my head as I frantically look for anything resembling anywhere that I was already familiar with, and kind of landmark that I could recognize from that brief moment I lived here with Vine and my parents... but no... nothing at all. Is it then, possible that whatever made this place into a mystery dungeon also created new forest portions? But... how would it, or really anything even DO that? Of course, I may be jumping to conclusions, after all, it's not like I've searched through and was familiar with every cubic inch of the forest... even if I did live there. Heck, some pokemon who live in Allure or Treasure town don't even know every inch of that place, and that's comparatively small and plain. This forest, being a forest was large and complex, which I suppose could have explained why I didn't know every tiny nook and cranny in my own hometown.<br/><br/>That being said, the 'wild' pokemon around here sure didn't treat me any differently. After my little episode, I continued downwards, or, southwards? Meh, something like that. I was never all that great with directions, anyways, and I was already hopelessly lost, so... I kinda didn't keep track of my actual location, and started humming some sort of tune to pass the time as I walked through Birchwood Forest, bumping into a Patrat as I did. The thing tackled me as soon as I bumped into it, and I ended up using vine whip out of sheer reflex from the hit. It didn't seem to like that very much, and tried another tackle... just when I was thinking that this was going to be another one of 'those' battles, where each side uses the same move over and over again, I use vine whip, but this time, he uses growl, making me feel kinda weaker, somehow... probably just because he sounded helpless when he used that move, and I started to feel kinda bad for hurting the little guy. I tried to shake off that feeling, but it didn't go away until I finished the thing off with another vine whip... well, okay, it got a little worse for a while, but then it went away, allowing me to continue, and, somehow pass that same waterfall again... great, I thought I was lost before, but nope, now I'm officially as lost as one could possibly be, with my horrible sense of direction probably about to prove me wrong by making things even worse."

Beams of sunlight were shining on him, slightly distorted by the slight ripple of the waves above him. A new day had started. As he poked his head above the surface, he was greeted by the usual sights and sounds of Allure Town. The bright colours and hues had taken a while to get used to after living underwater his whole life, but several months had passed, and by now it almost seemed normal. Almost.<br/><br/>He tried to put everything that happened on the reef behind him. A part of him wished that he could go back, and be with Keira, but he knew that wasn't possible.

Today was(n't) my day.<br/><br/>I left my house to find Davis, retreating from a disrespectful community... but, damn. Life threw enemies and misfortunes at me. I was busy hovering over potholes and pebbles, the types that would make your feet bleed. Roots from old and long-gone plants were still embedded in the three meter wide road, going brown until it could be washed away by rain like a stain. The same could be same for pain, if you were patient enough and willing to come to terms with the pain. Despite the seemingly easy solution, it was much harder to confront the pain without being broken by the memories...<br/><br/>I somehow didn't notice myself going in circles. As in, literal circles. I had been displaced only several centimeters in this forest. Waves of green bushes seemingly laughed at me, bouncing in the wind that had picked up briefly. The potholes looked deeper than ever, looking like landmarks of a war. The<span class=""bb-strike"">silence was disturbed</span>silence was broken long ago; the Magikarp was still wailing, being pecked by a bird or two. ""Oh... will it just shut up?"" I said to myself, the first time since telling a Caterpie to bugger off. I mean, it was as weak as a twig, and it somehow ended up here. Really, it had just walked into a death trap. Yet, it was still alive somehow. Fed up, I-<br/><br/>-got tackled into a tree. ""Frickin' trees."" I growled, facing the ruthless offender. It was the same Pidgey that was harassing the Magikarp, somehow bigger than the typical one. The size difference pointed out the non-existent relationship between this Pidgey and the bronze-feathered one; the bronze one was currently beating the crap out of the Magikarp. ""Frickin' Hell. What's up with you?"" I snidely asked it, bouncing it away by leaving a dull ring in its ears. Somehow, I had gotten stuck for half a second, but nature was kind enough to get an annoyed Scatterbug to kick me off. ""Just leave me alone, damn it."" I got no proper response, because this Pidgey originated from what they called a mystery dungeon. I called it the 'wilderness.' Obviously dazed by the ring, it squawked in my face, or rather my eye. My pupil was probably creeping it out. ""You could at least be helpful by telling me if anyone passed-"" Before I was able to finish my sentence, I had to jump (float upwards sharply) when it tried to chuck some sand in my eyes.<i>Irony. The move that makes you miss misses.</i>My achievement of dodging a Sand Attack was short-lived, because I remember getting tackled back into the same tree. It wasn't the force of the tackle that got me, but the compression of me against a tree that proved dangerous.<br/><br/>For the Pidgey. Floating via magnetism (at least how Davis explained), I did a back-flip as the Pidgey held onto me, crashing it into the tree like a high-velocity pebble. To add insult to injury, I had shocked it and pricked it with my radar dish. I tilted my head upwards as I faced down, ignoring the cries of the seemingly immortal but tortured Magikarp. I grimaced at the deep marks I made on the tree, looking some this odd cartoon Davis showed me. First, it was a Magnemite cavity. Next, it was a large Pidgey cavity. How was this even possible without snapping a bone? It was as if the tree was made of Styrofoam. Or some other ridiculous thing 'humans' used, which Davis told me about.<br/><br/>I tried to magnet-palm myself, but the magnetism forced my magnet to be repelled.<i>This magnetism is so odd. Why couldn't I have been born a real Magnemite?</i>I thought to myself, looking back at the days when Davis created me... as well as somehow incorporating the Magikarp's screams into my daydream. I sat in a bush and watched the Magikarp, and yet I was awfully hypnotised at its will to live. The show almost ended, because the Pidgey and Magikarp had to move some distance away from the out-grown bush I was in. After all, there was some sunlight coming out of nowhere.<br/><br/>It turned out to be my reflection in the sun. I really should have gone to Allure Town as soon as possible, but I was lazy and Davis was currently just a low priority. I was more focused at the freedom of the world, as well as the hostility of it. Eight times I've been attacked. I fled six. I fought two. Did I survive? Well, I wouldn't be narrating then, would I?"

She wanted to at least know what was going on in this place. She continued to walk until she arrived at Treasure town. She looked around the place. This was certainly.... similar a bit. Instead of the same shop owners then before, she saw the keckleons bros, trying to sell stuff to passing pokemons. She didn't walk to them, cause she did not really care. Sure, her parents did sell berries to them also so they would sell them back, but they were so much everywhere and walking around in mystery dungeons and such, that it was hard to keep track of them. Sure, they did get some money out of selling berries to them, but it was slightly less profitable then selling to Bob And Ed shop. Probably because Bob bought a lot more berries to keep a steady supplies of them.<br/><br/>She continued to walk around, her sense not bothering her that much. For once, there were not too many ghost pokemons around. She looked at Margret's Storage. Sure, it seemed interesting, but she did not have anything to store right now. She heard about some kind of rocks that were usually spread all over the place to take items from the storage. She though about it. How does that even work? She shakes her head. Probably really complicated to say the least. Magic... magic is the only answer in this. How else can items get to one place to the other... unless they have psychic pokemons working and teleporting items at long distances. Well... it was one way they could do it...<br/><br/>She then walked near the dojo. Maybe some training would be good right now... but knowing how weak she was... with only tackle as a true damaging skill, she could not do anything much. Ghost types actually were a danger for her if they knew other types of moves. She could only use confuse ray on them to get away... and that what she usually did. She would need to find something to damage them later on... A shadowball tm would be great... if she could find/buy one that is. Ugh.... the pain of leaving home without too much money. She then think of the guild.<br/><br/>She then head over to Wally's guild, and stares at it. If she were to join that guild.... god.... If Bob would find out or her parents, then this might cause family issues. And this was not what she wanted at all. She shook her head. In last resort if nothing else works she could go there. But for now..<br/><br/>For now, what could she even do. There were no jobs that she could fill in these towns. The only thing she could actually do is to go and be in a guild. And she would need to train up a lot to become stronger. She think a bit. That is what she needed to do... but to become stronger, she might need to join the guild, or else it would be risky for her to go without any badges or such.<br/><br/>It was the ethernal circle. To become stronger with less risk, you had to join the guild. To join the guild, you had to be strong... Well... maybe she will be able to become stronger. She then head to Allure town, only to hear a magikarp yelling at a distance... actually splashing to move around. She stares at it. What in the world was a magikarp doing on land like that.... And how the heck did it even get here. She just stares at it for a long time. She also notice that it's color was rather deeper red as well as a blue crown. Guess that was no ordinary magikarp. But seriously, she could consider herself as abnormal also, seeing that she was able to use ghost type moves and such."

I don't even know what your deal it and..."" she says, before sensing something.<br/>""Look out!"" she says before pushing the magkarp out of the way. A ghastly threw a shadow ball and then missed. Suddenly a group of pokemons jumped on that ghastly and beat it for trying to attack a fellow town member.

That can't...no,<i>don't</i>want to believe that with hard work and guts, you can gain skill and abilities above and beyond what your species normally learns. They use things like 'biological limitations' to cover up their short comings. Saying thing like; 'I can't do that because I'm this.' Well ha! The two of us are living proof that limits are nothing but an excuse to give up without even trying! Other people claim that they're birth as a weak species is just fate saying they were born to be weak. Well I laugh at them! Fate is nothing more then a suggestion.

He sighed. A freaking Magikarp, a Pokemon that is known for its weakness, was able to travel on land, and yet he couldn't. He tried to move on land several times before, and never made it more than three feet away. Now this guy's doing it like it's nothing.<br/><br/>An explosion came from the inside of Matt's house, follwed by a slight chuckle. ""Note to self: that method doesn't work."" Matt's head poked through the newly-shattered window. ""Did I get glass in the pond? Terribly sorry. I'll clean it up in a moment."" Josh was beginning to wonder what Matt was doing in there. That was the fifth explosion this week. As much as he wanted to ask, there was something else on his mind.<br/><br/>Matt emerged from the house, and started to pull the shards of glass out of the water. Using his own psychic powers, Josh began to help. It didn't take long for them to get all of it. As Matt began to go back inside, Josh stopped him. ""How do you float like that?"" He knew that Reuniclus float using their psychic powers. He assumed that he'd be able to do it as well.<br/><br/>Matt tried to think of a response. ""It's kind of difficult to explain. It comes naturally to me. It would be like asking you how to swim."" He paused for a moment. ""You know what you did with the glass there? You needed to focus on it in order to do that. Now, try doing the same thing, but focus on yourself instead. It may be a little difficult at first.""<br/><br/>Josh nodded, and closed his eyes. He did as Matt said. He put all of his concentration into trying to lift himself out of the water. This went on for several minutes, but no matter how hard he tried he didn't move. He sighed, sinking down into the water. ""This is hopeless.""<br/><br/>""It just takes a bit of practice. You'll learn eventually, don't worry.""<br/><br/>Matt went back inside, and Josh let himself sink to the bottom of the pond.

Celina stares back. What the heck was with that guy anyway? So... weird...."

No other way to describe when you pass the same surroundings at least five times in a row, or when you somehow manage to find the entrance to the place, use it as an exit, and then end up somewhere completely different and unfamiliar. After bumbling around in the forest for hours, I eventually hear a splashing noise from nearby.<i>That must be where that magikarp is! I just hope I'm not too late...</i>I think as I rush through the forest, not even caring if there was a path where I was heading or not. Thankfully, I didn't ram into any trees while I made my way over to the magikarp whom I was tasked with saving. I got to the clearing where the magikarp, who was flopping around and shouting for help was. The place was nice, yet, for some weird reason, the grass in this particular clearing was a yellowish color, and felt somewhat like needles under my feet. Despite that, the trio of birds that were near the magikarp simply fly away... though... it probably wasn't because of me... A new trio jumps into the clearing, and shouts ""You there! You think you're saving this magikarp from the likes of Team Zan? You're wrong, and now you've got to face us!"" They then announce themselves, with the sneasel starting off with ""Sean!"" the zubat adds ""Bart!"" and finally, the koffing says ""And me, uh... Carl! We're unbeatable when we're together, so prepare for the worst!"" Well, they were certainly energetic, and they seemed to have a type advantage against me... unfortunately, all I had was this one oran berry that I had picked up earlier.<br/><br/>The sneasel starts their assault with a scratch, though, somehow, it didn't seem all that strong. ""Huh? Come on, I know you can do better than that."" I say as the scratch simply hits me, and does basically nothing. The koffing then tackles me, but it felt more like a balloon bouncing off of me. ""What... are you guys level one, or something?"" I ask them. They don't give a response, and the zubat was up next with leech life, though, despite being super effective against me, it was still not all that painful. I shrug off the damage that was dealt to me, and attack the sneasel, who appeared to be their leader, with a vine whip, apparently dealing quite a bit of damage to him as he shouted in pain from it. ""GAH! Uh... you... um, look, guys, we gotta go, this guy's good!"" they then leave the area, leaving me with nothing more than confusion as to who they all were, and why they were so weak. I mean, I wasn't all that strong, and they were head and shoulders BELOW that. I then walk up to the magikarp, who seems to have calmed down a bit since, and hold up my badge, warping us both to the guild. ""Th-thank you... I don't know what I would have done against those thugs and those birds."" the magikarp says to me, apparently very thankful of what I've done. He then adds ""I uh... don't really have anything to give you as a reward, though..."" I then shake my head, and say ""Not a problem. Just being able to take on a mission was reward enough for me."" He then starts flopping back to the sea, which I actually helped him with, after all, I hardly wanted him to get into the same situation, again... I found myself carrying the fish all the way back to the Treasure Town Beach, having to cross through enemy territory as I did, but, like either a brave pokemon or a stupid one, I did just that. I then ran back to Allure Town as quickly as my feet would carry me, being chased by almost everyone there after I dropped of the magikarp. I found myself back at Arnold's guild, and, somehow, at the guildmaster's office, where an eevee and a magikarp, a red one, this time, were talking with Arnold, who was holding his favorite food, a golden banana, though, burnt for some reason... ""Hey, uh, what are you two up to?"" I ask the duo, sounding a little out of breath as I did."

I had gotten so bored of the same Magikarp dodging death at every peck and claw. It was as if even Hell didn't want him, letting him survive for an unusual amount of ti-<br/><br/>My God. I couldn't even remember how long I was out for. The sun was still up and ripping through leaves, but it was obviously in another position in the sky. I've always wondered what's above the clouds, but now would be an inappropriate time. I was getting away from my bigoted community of plants... sure, they wouldn't chase me. Not this far out here at least. However, should night come, I'd be going against whatever the Birchwood Forest felt like throwing at me; bushes intimidated me like cannons, with trees providing camouflage against the things above. Now, I felt what Davis had to go through when such a thing I made was pointed at him. Sure, it was empty, but it did get him into some sort of a fit.<br/><br/>Like I was saying... the sun had moved considerably. The Pidgey (or whatever Pokemon; I was hazy from tiredness) had since left, whilst the Magikarp was happily bouncing around as if nothing bad had just happened... at least, according to my time-lapse. ""What the fu...?""<i>Did that Pidgey get bored, or something?</i>I had some clues to what had happened earlier; I was half-awake when some weird snake came along. After some words and maybe some action against the bronze Pidgey, it had left... or, it may have been something us. The problem was that I had rather a bad memory at that period, because I wasn't fully awake. What? Davis got me up at 4 am to share some of his odd contraptions from the... humen era? The point was, you didn't have good memory within the hour you got up, especially that early.<br/><br/>""Hey!""<br/><br/>I would've said that, but instead, I was slowly trailing the aforementioned walking, brown and ceramic pot. With bad memory came a short period of luck as I had witnessed a pot pass by my sleeping bush earlier, recognising it as a Turtwig despite its... well, I hadn't seen an actual Turtwig before. Despite grass-type Pokemon residing in my community, not all lived there. A Turtwig was one of the few who chose to stay away. I looked up at the sky once more, ignoring leaves as an opening revealed itself; the sun hadn't moved an centimeter, according to my memory before fainting of boredom. It was the way I was facing it that had given the illusion that hours passed, when really I had woken up about 5 minutes after sleeping.<br/><br/>Creepily (as much as me stalking the Turtwig), no wild Pokemon seemed to attack me or the stranger. His flicker of a badge revealed his affiliation, the group I was willing to join that would possibly help track down Davis... but, only when I had enough experience would be up to that task. Frankly, it would be too dangerous to go outside alone. This guy was new, but he managed to best some Pokemon by the looks of it. Some rough marks were evident of this, clearly not disturbing him. As for me, the most I did was doing a back-flip to another Pidgey. And slam a Caterpie into a boulder. And scare away a Scatterbug back into its darkened bush.<br/><br/>Eventually, signs of civilisation cut out leaves and bushes, the border of Birchwood Forest abruptly ending at Allure Town. Stupidly, I took to following him rather than the deadly path, because he went around in circles and zig-zags as I sniggered at him. Heck, I had to witness 4 U-turns before he was on track. Without realising his badge had that handy teleportation device, described in detail by some fanboy Sunkern in my old village. If I was blind, I'd do better than him navigating the place, depending on how stable the geography of Birchwood Forest was. I may had also required Davis to whisper me directions, but... he wasn't exactly around. In fact, my lack of will to find him probably increases the chance of not finding him again... at about 400%. Intimidating as that statistic was, Davis himself pointed that out to me after I feigned laziness, slumping on the sofa composed of Mareep wool. Now, I was actually rather lazy, only floating to get away from racists and boredom.<br/><br/>I had nearly lost track of the Turtwig, following him for an estimated 30 minutes. I wasn't going to be deterred easily, despite the nice one-story buildings around, wrapped up with market stools and large overhangs. It was a hot day, and the sun had lowered in accordance to the 'Solar System.' (Yeah, thanks Davis for teaching me 'astronomy' without proper education; you couldn't even figure out what else was outside the 'Earth.') Most were bustling, but the occasional one was ignored, accidentally imitating prejudice. Nobody really wanted to be around a Muk or Sliggoo due to general self-hygiene of most other Pokemon. They weren't as slimy, beautiful and se-<br/><br/>I'm sorry, what? I feared I was getting off-topic. Oh yeah: ...as them. I turned my eye away, myself probably no better than the plants at my old community. I could see the Turtwig was entering a large building by thrusting the door inwards, the whole place taller than me and giving me a headache - I had to tilt my eye way back. My pupil obviously couldn't tolerate the sun too well, despite getting adjusted to reflections of magnets and own body. Heck, it was as if the sun had the same magnetic pole as my eye. Due to this, I could only describe the lower half of... Arnold's guild; it had some pink, windows arranged as an entire row- blast it. I wouldn't be able to see for much longer.<br/><br/>After stupidly causing... er... fine. What happened was, I had accidentally knocked over the Turtwig, who was busy arguing with a blue bubble frog. He started rolling, and impacted a little group of Pokemon like bowling pins. One of the pins had grasped a Pokemon's fur as support, getting a shock and letting loose some berries from the pin's bag. Meanwhile, the Turtwig had somehow rolled from the floor onto a couch, causing a patient Braixen to yelp in pain as she set fire to the couch. The Turtwig quickly squashed some berries as another pin had been knocked over him again, knocking over a jug of water in climax to the Turtwig spinning out of control...<br/><br/>""Oh, Mac! That's the second time you've done this! Get that leg of yours fixed, otherwise you're gonna crush everyone in this floor!"" Thankfully it all worked out in the end. The Turtwig's motion had knocked the jug towards the couch, extinguishing it. Some water in the air had cleaned up the floor and the Turtwig itself, despite the wet mess... Uh, never-mind that. I quickly barged into a random door for cover as the Turtwig attempted to lay blame on me. Sure, it was my fault, but I didn't want to get fired before even signing up. But, I had landed myself into even more trouble.<br/><br/>I had gone from the lobby to upstairs to the guildmaster's room. You could tell it was because it was actually clean, in contrast to the messy, stacked and cramped rooms of the guild. ""Er... they're causing a riot down there. Don't ask."" My only response, made nervously whilst I attempted to show grief. Probably my last around here."

I end up saying to the duo nervously before I hear a crash, a fire, and then some water spilling. A magnemite then enters the room, apparently dazed, confused, or something. ""Uh... hi? You seem new here. My name's Spruce, and I'm trying to start up a team... though... I'm kinda the only member, so far."" I then say to the new guy, though, I say that last part a little more softly than the rest of the sentence. I didn't mumble it, but I almost said it as if I didn't want anyone else to know. Of course, I was surprised at how nobody reacted to me being Vine's brother, but I decided to keep them in the dark, not really wanting to bring that up, and then have anywhere from one to three fanboys/fangirls asking me if I knew where he was. Arnold and Archie thankfully wouldn't ask, they already knew better than that, but these newbies might actually be fans of him, or something. I then kind of wonder what happened out there, and walk over to the door just to open it a little bit and look outside of it. The place seemed to be in pure chaos with water, steam, and mud all over the place. There also appeared to be a flattened grimer a little to the left, for some reason. I didn't know how I didn't smell that thing when it was on its way here, though. Apparently, there was a braxien and a turtwig arguing about something near the now-slightly-burnt couch, and various others scattered about... what the heck happened?"

You never told me how dangerous the world really was. You just had to leave, thinking a move and ability was enough to keep the reality of death away. Well, thankfully life itself stepped in to save me.

He was trying to sound serious, but it's really hard to take a bird with a cup on his head seriously. Archie then jabs Arnold with his beak a couple of times, apparently to get him out of some sort of daze, and the two head out the door, closing it behind them. A shout or five is heard from Archie, and apparently one, albeit musical-sounding shout from Arnold, and things appear to have calmed down, considerably. ""Should I check? Do you think it's over?"" I ask my teammates, not entirely thrilled about possibly having a couch thrown at me for opening a door. ""Anyways, um, Celes, was it? Would you mind joining my team, as well? Erm, trust me... this place isn't normally like this."" I then ask Celes, still somewhat jumpy from the whole ordeal with the thrown objects.<i>Hm... I've got this magikarp on my team, and, if I can train him enough, then we'll be nearly unstoppable... or, at least, he'll be amazing, and I'll just be decent.</i>I think as I take a look at the other three pokemon. We'd sure make an interesting team with a magikarp, a snivy, an eevee, and a magnemite... certainly, um, diverse. I guess it would be up to me, and eventually Kamina to keep that magnemite away from ground types... odd, though, Kamina didn't exactly sound like a boy's name, of course, I wasn't ever going to say that, lest I tick off my only current teammate, and someone who will prove useful once he evolves."

Actually, some cracks formed within a second, because aforementioned door was already closed. Slim door with practically no details, now with a history just by feeling it around. Oh yeah, splinters would probably discourage you from doing that further. I think several got snapped or blunted by my speed and metal sphere body, like a... giant UFO to a branch. (Davis, you bloody idiot. How did you go from astronomy to UFOs? They're two completely different subjects.) ""Eh... skill I learned. Don't ask; the community I come from likes lynching artificial Pokemon like myself, so this was kinda necessary."" I said, up close to the door and spreading out. Really, I just over-used some magnetism there and explained it from there, but I looked like I was charging and attempting to break down the door. From the inside. Man, I took time to look at a hanging mirror, and it was already awkward when I appeared to be hugging the door. With three magnets arranged away from me like some severely bent tripod. ""Can't hear much."" I dropped down from the door. The suction of me sticking onto the door was clearly gone. I had obviously calmed down... and, now I was unsure of my actions.<br/><br/>1.

I remarked, shaken briefly when I swore I heard a knock on the door.<br/><br/>""Can someone unlock the door? I left my banana in there.""<br/><br/>Well. That was somewhat smothering. ""If I join, can we get out of here?"" I asked.<br/><br/>Damn. First hour into the town. Already, I wasn't doing well. Sure, I had visited a year ago or two with Davis to find somewhere to live, but frankly he just didn't want to move. Said something about 'being our true home.'

Come on, the food isn't THAT great.</i>I think as I walk over to the dinner table, which was located on the upper floor of the guild, which, thankfully, was where I was at right now. I checked back to make sure that everyone else was following, well, save for the magnemite, who was probably going to make his way to the door as soon as he realized that everyone else was at dinner... seemed odd that he didn't want to be seen, but, that wasn't really any of my business. Once I got to the table, I nearly slip on something... that something turned out to be a perfect banana, whose peel was discarded by none other than Arnold himself. Arnold had about five of them, and everyone else just had some random thing or another, which I could barely make out from the lightning-fast paws and claws that dug into whatever it was they were eating."

She looked at the food, and stared at it. She was not sure what she could even take anyway... She looks at each of them, and sighed. Nothing was really interesting her that much. She then started to collect some various food, thinking a bit. Just then she looks at the little bag she had brought with her while running away, and gets out some flat berry bread. A family recipe that was given generations after generations. Hey... with that many berries, might as well find a use to them if your gonna feed your family. She then slowly start eating her bread, feeling herself slowly filling up. Maybe with those fruits she could make something special some times later.... Uhm... fruit salad with some oran juice as dressing.... They always said that her family was a bit weird cause they usually cooked strange things for guest and such.... Unfortunately, if she tries this here, they migth just appoint her as the grounds cook or something and then not many adventures to be had.... or more like she would need more inspirations over time. She continues to eat, thinking. Spruce did seem tired... well, at least that what she was seeing. Lucky she did not slip on the floor though. She then finish her bread and looks at everyone that was still eating. One good thing about that bread: It made her quite awake and filled up good. Tonight she might go and train in the background of the guild or something."

As if that wasn't confusing enough, I was heading in the opposite direction of the door. I passed light-brown walls of wooden planks, 100% lumber from the Birchwood Forest. From the top of my peripheral vision, it was obvious electric lighting was used, as they had since banned the use of light-illuminating Pokemon out of Pokemon rights... the lighting was eerie and collided with the nature of the place, and could hurt your eyes if you stared at it for too long. Despite witnessing flame-emitting Pokemon obviously shrugging themselves by walls by leaning, the place didn't burn down. Save for half a couch. I didn't think about fire damage any further, when an obviously heavy Pokemon managed to stomp the floor without any sort of damage caused.<br/><br/>In fact, I was following the Arceus damn Snivy through some doors, going pass more varieties of Pokemon. The occasional one would stumble onto him like a reporter to a 'celebrity.' I didn't know why, since I was barely aware of anything that was going on. ""Spruce...?""

I would like you to consider what I said, though.""<br/>Josh sighed. He hated to admit it, but what Matt said back there was right. It might take a while, but the guild will make him strong enough to beat Zane. He couldn't travel on land, though, and since most of the places he'd be exploring are on land, it would be difficult. He would have to rely on others most of the time. He fell asleep while thinking about it. Morning would be the best time to decide."

I turn towards him, and respond ""This is the guild. It's kind of the place to be if you want to end up exploring all over the place... well... that is, if the guildmaster thinks you're strong enough to go to other places."" I then remember some of the places where Vine DID take me... there was that cave, that weird swamp, and that fiery place under the swamp... of course, I was also taken to literally every guild as well, and, while that sounds nice, it wasn't. I was either invisible, or everyone told me to move because I was supposedly blocking their view of Vine, which, I'm pretty sure I never did. After my response, I get back to stuffing my face with the usual oran berries and apples. I was certain that they had this as the dinner just because they didn't want something that someone might not like, but would it kill them to have something spicy available? Heck, really any flavor would do, just, nothing too bitter. I finished my somewhat small dinner, however, before I could return to my room, that braxien seems to notice me, and, after peeling the tape off of his snout, asks ""Hey, SPRUCE! Uh, um, do you have any idea where Vine is? I mean, you two are brothers, right?"" crud... of course, I gave him my usual response of ""How the heck would I know where he is? I'm not even a part of his team."" normally, I'd have put more emotion into it, but by now it almost seemed like a canned response... probably just because of how often I use it as a response to that exact question."

Sure, we definitely had more fan-boys of him than for the guild, seeing as he was a plant-based Pokemon, but he never really got the grip of me. Davis would occasionally mutter stuff about the adventurer/explorer/cartographer, but otherwise we remained silent on the subject. I didn't care for exploration, because the things I needed were already at home.<br/><br/>Then again, I had nothing left. Davis, you bloody idiot... ""Hm?""

""Eh, I may as well go exploring if I'm looking for my friend... actually, it might be the other way around."" I continued while pushing an Oran berry into the rude thing's nostril. I droned about my priorities, and sooner or later it would become apparent I wasn't really coming to terms with Davis' disappearance; yeah, he's gone. The problem was that I lack the determination in this case. It wasn't like a case of 'find him or you die,' but more of finding someone as artificial as yourself. So what he's your only friend? All we did was discuss odd historical stuff, like a mass genocide by Jews... uh, it may have been the other way around, actually. The point was, being around him would get boring, unless you found new stuff to discuss. In which case, he'd provide days of entertainment like a toy.<br/><br/>When I thought about it, we'd have A LOT to talk about when we found each other... man, this is what I'm talking about. At least a trace of determination could keep an engine going. That would involve me somehow escaping the ruckus by entering a rather empty room of dolls, and knocking over two straw-based figures. ""Oh, s-sorry."" I apologised as I looked down, stuttering when I realised they were already dead on the ground. In fact, they were never alive in the first place, with red and white-striped targets planted on the chest and head.<i>I'd hate to take that amount of punishment everyday. I mean, they're already on the floor from my gentle bump.</i>""Hey... watch'a doin'?"" My voice seemed to raise in pitch, as I bounced off another dummy and sent it towards the rickety floor. I had to steady myself so precisely (as in, facing the Eevee) that I couldn't narrate for a brief second. Colloquialism probably would help me create friends, so I tried it out for the first time.

Wanting to figure out what was up with this place, I headed towards the village, only to find it filled with strange pokemon who seem to share he color scheme of the place... they were all either grey, purple, or black. Confused, I walked out of the village, and found myself looking out into some sort of void, rift, or bottomless pit. I wasn't scared, just yet, but that's just about when some sort of weird, giant snake thing flew out of the void, straight at me, and with all of the speed of a jet plane. I was knocked back from the thing's speed alone, and tried to look for it, mainly out of fear, yet, it was gone... after that... some sort of rip through this strange reality appeared, nearly hitting me, and sucking me into the blank whiteness of it. Another figure appeared through the rip in reality, and then, some sort of ear-piercing scream or shout which woke up up in the middle of the night.<i>Wh-what the heck was that!?</i>I think as I try to get back to sleep.

She looked around the guild, seeing a lot of pokemons in front of the job board. She was not even sure if any job would be left after seeing the number of pokemons. Probably trying to find a job to do... Suddenly though, a chimchar took 1 of the jobs, only to have a treecko try to take the same one.

Maybe we can split the reward."" the chimchar then says.<br/>""Or take it as a competition.... but no fighting... a race to do the job... agree?"" the treecko then says.<br/>""Agree..."" the chimchar says.

Celes walked to it, and looked at Spruce.<br/>""I know it might be hot today... but.... maybe a job in birchwood forest might be good... or a cave. This way it would be cooler then being outside in the sun."" she then says."

I explained, a rather slack reason being my only foothold here. I followed Spruce out the now-messy room of blankets, passing through doors of the hallway before ending up in the most crowded place I had ever known; the lobby. Yesterday, it was quite empty, because it was getting late and Pokemon left to their own homes/went to bed early. Now... well, let's just say the crowds formed at my community were hostile. If they were that size, only Arceus would know what would happen.<br/><br/>Of course, I couldn't I think straight. The sudden heat that had developed overnight was getting me to slur my sentences slightly. ""I believe I joined yesterday.""

Ugh, and that's the guy I'm supposed to be listening to?</i>I then notice some of the gummi goop ooze out of the pan and onto the guild's roof. Archie somehow sneaks up to me and shouts ""Guildmaster Arnold Columbus what do you think you're DOING!?"" that shout surprised me, but, what didn't surprise me was when Arnold answered ""Archie... I'm just making some breakfast for myself, and it's too hot outside. You told me that I could do this once per summer, so, I'm doing this now."" Archie didn't seem impressed, but, before the two could get into an argument, I went back to the mission board, and, taking my teammate's advice, I looked for one in a cave, or in a forest. I scan the boards, and find a mudkip outlaw who was apparently making his home in Beach Cave... a cave, and, as a bonus, near the beach! It's perfect. I gladly take the mission statement from the outlaw board, and run off, back to my team. ""Well, guess what, team? Turns out there was a mission involving Beach Cave, so... not only are we going to a cave, we're going to one that's near the beach, and probably even colder as a result."" I announce to everyone as I show them the statement. They had no idea where in Beach Cave this guy was hiding, but, that was probably the best possible way to beat the heat at this time... well, at least it was better than Arnold's gummi cooking."

""Oh, now he's using it... oh. Euh."" By the time I finished my sentence, I was busy trying to pull myself from staring at the pan. ""Well, at least he's using it for the intended use."" I quipped as I turned to a mere shadow of Spruce, smirking rather nervously at the mentality of our guild leader. This seemed to catch on, starting with Spurce's frozen expression (before he unexpectedly left), before infecting Archie's noisy beak. Man, do we speak clearly or what? Some of us don't even possess mouths for that matter.<br/><br/>""Why can't you EVER understand the definition of sarcasm!?"" Hm... here's some tips with dealing with crazy people:<br/><br/>""1. Never assume a crazy person can speak the same language as yourself-""<br/><br/>""Shut up, kid!"" Archie squawked to my giant eye, his beak turning to me within a time span of a blink. ""Can't you see he's gonna try gliding off the roof next!?"" Archie continued exclaiming at my face, somehow the ear-piercing, hysterical voice rivaling my own screeches I used to stun Pokemon... er, I've only used it about twice, both to annoy if you need to know. Despite all the commotion that was going on at the bottom, Arnold seemed unfazed as he continued with his odd breakfast, adding more things I couldn't quite pick out from this distance...<br/><br/>""Either way, you took your time saying how I could!"" He yelled out from above, almost slipping and causing Archie to shriek like an overly-protective mother. ""This is summer, and I want to enjoy it! My way!"" His voice had determined qualities, unusual to those of a crazy Pokemon. He pointed at Archie and targeted himself with the same finger as part of gestures during his turn to speak, using the empty hand he hadn't bothered using. Apart from digging up more food and dumping it into the pan.<br/><br/>""Just get down, and safely! You've got an entire guild to run, and I can't be bossing around 50 teams everyday!""<br/><br/>""Then I'll get Mr. Banana to take over when I'm dead, alright!?"" Arnold yelled, forming a cone over his mouth with his pink paw, as he flipped the pancake of... gummis? My God, those things should've stuck like dried glue to... any hot surface.<br/><br/>I assumed by 'and safely,' that Arnold had done this before. And got down unsafely/got down dangerously/fell down dangerously. Of course, several Pokemon (noticeably the more older and experienced ones, or at least the ones familiar with Arnold) had left for their own reasons, be that boredom or lack of free time. Expectantly, people started following the pioneers as the powerless Archie continued to plea for Arnold's safety, his feathers stretching out beyond their limit... I didn't care too much. It was pretty evident Arnold was crazy before I got here, and he somehow survived his crazy acts. I wasn't going to spend my time boiling in the sun, and quite literally too if I was stuck in a pot outside.<br/><br/>'Yo, Archie. Just fly up there or somethin', 'cause you ain't gonna get him with words.' Nah, I didn't actually say that; I was just quoting what somebody else said. I was one of the last of the few to leave, hearing that admittedly quiet message and leaving it here to point out Archie's stubbornness. To my dismay, Archie remained stuck in that cycle, because he didn't hear it. At all. His own voice kicking better advice away...<br/><br/>After departing from the one-man commotion... well, when I turned to Spruce once more, even his shadow was long gone. Thankfully, tracking down his location was much easier, since he was only a meager distance away from my reflective eye with enlarged pupil. I never really knew why my pupil was bigger than a normal Magnemite's one... maybe, it could've stemmed from Davis' first few attempts to make a friend. Oh well, I had always assumed it was better for my vision. ""Say what? A beach, AND a CAVE? Who was ignorant enough to leave that out?"" I questioned, my voice growing more excited as I reached my final few words of my question. Despite this, the mission itself seemed... suspicious, in a way. It was as if it was just placed there for our eyes only. Literally.<br/><br/>That's what happens, however. At least to the assumptions of brains. Always a feeling of paranoia in first assignments. Naturally, it's not exactly anyone's fault. Probably curiosity's, as it often conflicted with the fear of the unknown."

Usually they are bettter without cooking, or even mixed with something else, like a oran berry paste, and then surrround this paste with the gummie juice. This would actually make some rather interesting food. She shakesher head quickly. Seriously, why would she even think of food right now like this.... Archie kept yelling at Arnold to get down from the roof. She knew there was nothing she could say or do to actually making him get down. Seriously, even if she were to do her cute act, Arnold would simply ignore it probably.... And she did not care about it that much. She then turns back to Spruce.<br/>""Well, that is perfect.

Why he was sleeping when it was boiling hot outside, I'll never know, but he didn't seem alerted to my presence, and, after not too long, I finally made it to the actual beach, and, after passing by a lapras, towards the actual cave. I could already feel the temperature difference, and I wasn't even in yet. I looked back, and noticed that nobody followed me... perhaps I was simply too fast? I then sat down in the sand, under the shade of the cave we were about to enter, and looked out into the ocean, simply relaxing as I awaited the rest of my team. I was tempted to make some sort of juice, but decided against that on the thought that I might need the only oran berry I had at some point during this journey. Obviously we were going to have to search every nook and cranny within that cave, given that this mudkip was some sort of outlaw, and on the run from the law... someone like that wouldn't just hide out in the open and wait for someone to find them, right?

So, by keeping track of a snake, following wasn't hard. Despite the numerous amazing views of Allure Town.

With a brave heart, I continued hovering forwards, surprised at how no one was able to recognise my association with Allure Town...<i>Right. No badge or anything.</i>The buildings were boring, and the community was pretty odd. Which, was a result of comparing two towns together. But, it was expected, since the two were practically identical to my eye.<br/><br/>I then found out I had been stalking a completely different Snivy, with a small pouch hanging from its shoulder. Disgusted, I had taken a right turn through some old street with overhangs, with no hesitation. Which, was actually right, because I had found yellow, glowing dust under myself - sand. Up and above, my team waiting for me in particular... with, an unexpected figure. ""Who's that?"" I asked, rejoining the team as I kept my eye on the possibly dead Pokemon on his back."

Though a red flash seemed to consume my vision for a second, I wasn't bothered and presumed it was some chemical reaction.<br/><br/>There wasn't much to the cave. Some water droplets of water began forming on me, conducting occasionally arcs of electricity and brightening the silent place. Echoes of the ocean reached us from behind, occasionally from the front of the cave - there was certainly more than just one entrance to the cave. Heck, holes that allowed the sun to peek at us counted. ""Hm. Not really science, because they haven't done actual studies into it."" I responded to Spruce's theory. ""Pokemon and such do this because of curiousity, which ferments into panic as they attempt to hide at the farthest corner of the area. They're too scared to exit because curiousity had grasped them, and pushed them towards the unknown danger. Of course, I haven't done research into this, so I won't resist anyone attempting to shoot down my own ideas."" I swiped some fresh water drops off my eye with a magnet of mine, rubbing in circular motion and continuing so as I talked. ""Because, I presume my... friend, Davis had published a book with such ideas and findings, including poems describing some war and wars before that."" Before long, I had stopped wiping my eye, letting the water trickle into my eyelid to 'drink' it. Not unlike the sea licking at the cave's walls to smack the droplets and force them to fall.<br/><br/>Not a lot of time passed (in fact, about two seconds after I had explained my theory to Spruce and the others) when we were ambushed. ""Shiny."" I commented, letting an arc loose from my eye. Aforementioned arc had a spasm as it contacted my magnet and flowed into me. Before I could do any real damage, Sprurce's whip-from-hands and Celes' brain killer already did the trick. In fact, the thing was basically paralysed... was it paralysed?<br/><br/>Without a care in the world, I had finished the thing off by letting off six lightning bolts from my magnetic tips, which merged into three before into one. (I may have to remind you how I possess 3 magnets in order for this to make sense.) I discharged for a good five seconds before stopping the current, letting my third magnet swing under my body and onto my back. Oddly enough, the thing apparently hastened it's incapacitation move by slamming its shell shut. ""Easy."""

While the trip from the Birchwood Forest to Allure Town was not great, it certainly did a number on the small combee, who had barely flown more than a couple feet before being carried on by her drones. She was almost to the town now. She had it in her sights. The Beedrill would be coming after her, but she had the head start, and hopefully she could get away before they arrived. Underneath her, Hex began to spot weary travelers and explorers straying about on the dirt road, talking among themselves. Ranging from Squirtles to Goomy, there were so many different varieties! Finally, Hex came across a large tree adorned by fluffy green leaves, and decided to rest there. She slowly fluttered onto a nearby branch, and got her first good look at Allure Town.<br/><br/>The town was laid out almost exactly as she imagined it. She had heard descriptions and roughly sketched maps from her scouts, but the town was amazing. It was huge in comparison to the hive, and it looked like it had countless residents! The sheer size was breathtaking. ""Hah!.. I.. should've left.. a loongg time ago!"" She said, still panting from the trip. In reality, the town wasn't exactly a wonderland. But to Hex, who had lived her whole life in a hive, it was colossal. A couple of small explorers under her shot the breathless combee a glance, but otherwise, she was completely incognito. She slowly fluttered into Allure Town. Well, it wasn't quite as big as she thought it was. Most pokemon tended to stick to themselves and their own lives rather than chatting with strangers.<br/><br/>There, way over there. She spotted it. The guild. It seemed a bit weird to her how the guild had a structure shaped exactly like an Audino on the top of it, but she ignored it for the time being. First things first; she had to stand on top of the wooden grate, if she could find it. She knew the process. Hex drifted to the guild, using her wings to give her an extra boost, and fluttered above the grate, waiting for it to open. Several minutes passed. Several more minutes passed.<br/><br/>""Hello?!"" She yelled, looking down past the crisscrossing wooden structure.<br/>""Huh? Oh? What?"" A voice asked.<br/>""I'm here to enter the guild.""<br/>""Oh, um.. you got any feet? Like.. could you stop flying?""<br/>Hex landed on the ground, her wings shuttering to a stop.<br/>""Um.. Diglett.. detected?""<br/>""NO! I'm a Combee!""<br/>""Oh, yeah, of course. Clearly.<i>Hey, Joe, get a load of this one.</i>"" The pokemon whispered to another.<br/><br/>The grate slid open, and Hex fluttered down the carved out tunnel to the guild."

""She's in for a wild ride.""<br/><br/>She ignored the comments of the comments of the pokemon. What did they know? She was ready. She could take on anything! She could- woah, woah! Hex nearly bumped into a passing Pidgeotto, and then almost straight into a Goomy. Not quite as busy as the hive was, but at least there, all the pokemon were the same size. Here there were pokemon ranging from Sunkern to Garchomp, and they were all hurrying to get somewhere and do something. The second order of business was to find the guild leader. According to the top of the guild, it was probably an Audino, so she had to keep an eye out for one. They weren't too hard to miss. Tall, a bit fat, pink, with blue eyes. A bit dopey sometimes, but produce some very alluring sounds. She traversed the guild for a bit. It was even worse in terms of navigation. She couldn't tell left from right at one point. Eventually, she finally spotted him. He was walking off, followed by an Archen. Trailing the two was a Reuniclus, and a.. Skrelp?<br/><br/>She approached the Audino. ""H-hi, sir. I'd like to enter your guild."" She said, working up some confidence. She was surprised at how weak her voice sounded. ""I mean, I'd like to enter, and become an explorer."" She said, with a bit more steel in her voice.<br/><br/>Arnold turned to them! ""Oh! Hello! You're here for the guild, huh?""<br/><br/>Archie nodded. ""Of course. You can follow us.""

""These are your guild badges. If you ever get into trouble, you can just use them to teleport back here. It's easy as gummi pancakes."" He then gave each of them a small bag for carrying items. ""Now that you have everything you need, you can go to the mission board, or you can go out and explore. It's up to you. Oh, and by the way, you're using that wrong."" He pointed at the bucket that Josh was in. He then took out another bucket, and placed in on his head. ""See? This is how you're supposed to use it.""<br/><br/>Josh couldn't believe it.

""You can come with me and Matt if you want."" He said as he scanned the mission board. A lot of them were for more advanced explorers, but there were a few that were good for beginners. One in particular caught his eye.<br/><br/>An Emolga had gotten lost somewhere in Beach Cave, and needed someone to save her. It was a simple mission. They just go in, get the Emolga, and get out.

It looked relatively easy, compared to what some of the other missions were. Some Emolga needed some saving up in Beach Cave. Get in, get out, save the day. Easy enough. She paused for a moment, noticing the silver ring on Josh's forehead was glowing. It gave off an aura of psychic. Hex just assumed it was for decoration.<br/><br/>""Wait."" Hex said, looking at the ring. ""You're psychic? Are you holding that up in the air? I thought that was Matt."" She glanced at both Matt and Josh.

A couple of Kabuto peppered about, with some Shellos sliding around on the floor. A couple of stalagmites hung loosely on the ceiling, with droplets of water sliding off the slick surface. Cluttering the area were the Tympole. There they were, soaking themselves in puddles and mud. Kind of disgusting and fascinating. ""Alright, so this is going to be a quick mission, right?

This wouldn't be too much trouble for the fish on our team, or the floating.. er... magnet creature...? Either way, they should be able to travel through that water without an issue, however, the current was too strong for me, and could end with me drowning, unable to get out of the water. I noticed several more pokemon approaching us, but remained quiet, and close to my group.<i>Okay... just be quiet, and be calm, and maybe they'll just pass us by...</i>I think as I look around the little room they were all in. There was nothing of interest, unfortunately, and I was really hoping to at least get enough cash to get an apple... which reminded me... I was getting a little peckish from that fight and the walk over here. Of course, there was nothing I could do about that, so I simply ignored it for now, wanting to save my oran berry for the next time I get into trouble with someone.

At first sign of trouble, she would use confuse ray and then tackle the pokemon that would be attacking them. At least that was the plan. But seriously, she was wondering if they were going to maybe meet up with friendly pokemons instead of all hostiles. Probably not, cause this was a mystery dungeon, and they do have weird effects on other pokemons. They might just have a huge group of them suddenly. She keeps calm, looking at her team.

The sea inside the cave was unusually quiet at times, but it could catch you by surprise; the suspicious silence would usually be shattered by waves of white water, strong enough to pass through holes in the cave, crashing into stones and walls of the cave. Normally, this would last for around ten seconds, with a break of about half a minute. Although, this had been going on for about a minute, with only a few milliseconds of no noise. A rising tide in a cave was always bad news, but a lack of a moon... hm, this was probably work of a mentally ill Wailord.<br/><br/>""Hold on; only two of us can get across, three as apparently the Magikarp can lift someone."" I said, looking out at the ocean that had seemed to dim the atmospheric light. 'Lift.' I'm already disturbed at how a Magikarp can supposedly lift someone on their back, let alone use a fire move. My mind wanted me to shiver, although I had limited it to a simple pupil looking around and analysing the place. ""You're certainly enthusiastic."" I commented on his fiery nature (pun not intended), turning from the underground sea to everyone else like I was suspended by string. ""I'd suggest looking for a way around, although by the looks of it..."" I peered out at some paths, most of whom were hit by waves.

Along with the new wave came even more pokemon, including a couple of Kabuto who scuttled away in fright.<br/><br/>""Huh. We might need to hurry. Eventually, the whole cave could be filled up.""

Looked like it was mainly water types; so far, she had seen an Omanyte, a Kabuto, some Shellos, and she spotted a Magikarp. It's scales were a dark, robust red, and the ""crown"" of it was blue. Not quite your average Magikarp. Beside it looked like a couple of.. explorers? She was pretty sure Snivy, Eevee, and Magnemite weren't all too common in Beach Cave.

The water felt really cold, which I didn't like, but I got used to it pretty quickly. The room ahead was, as I've described, completely filled with hostile pokemon, but none of them appeared to be the mudkip we were all looking for. That seahorse thing and the combee seemed to be looking for something here, too, and they seemed to be explorers, as well. Of course, the seahorse seemed to have some sort of trouble moving on land, and was carried by one of those jelly-like psychic-types. Those pokemon were kinda weird, but, they were usually nice enough. I just hoped that we'd get most, if not all of the experience from clearing out this room because we really needed to level up for what we were going to be doing, soon. I checked the room carefully for any kind of holes, secrets, levers or anything, but I found absolutely nothing of that nature, leading me to believe that the mudkip wasn't hiding out here.

He didn't notice the Omanyte sneaking up behind him until it had its tentacles wrapped around his head. ""Get off me!""

In the end they needed to repair the damage and had to do it outside instead of inside like they did... God, that was one place that his flareon brother did not go for weeks cause of how wet and moist it was. He always hated being in a moist environment. Who can blame him.

More Pokemon had joined us, merging our group and... well, we were attacked, but we managed to defend ourselves. I settled onto a rock that jutted out the cave's wet and rugged floor, floating a few centimeters off the point. ""Who're you? Guild members?"" I asked, turning 90 degrees to take a look at everyone who came. Calling the strangers 'team mates' wouldn't work, because they weren't really with us... I think. ""Well, well. Many Pokemon already, in a time-span of about... 10 seconds. I'm already feeling sorry for that Mudkip, as well as residents of this cave.""<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>What else was I supposed to do? For all I cared, Davis was dead (dead, dead, so bloody dead), so I may as well let some time pass. Sure enough, his corpse wasn't going to dissolve any time soon.

I'm not going to be much use to anyone if I drown."" I then, after a bit of hesitation, tie my already summoned vine onto Kamina's right fin, and then jump in, trying to keep myself afloat. Luckily, I was able to thanks to the fish that I was tied to. It was odd that even pokemon who were clearly designed to not walk on land were able to breathe on it, but I wasn't really complaining, right now, given how that little quirk of pokemon-kind has already helped me out, somewhat. M then says something about everyone introducing themselves, and decide to start off with ""Good point. My name's Spruce, and I might be the leader of this team."" of course, this leadership was really more of a default, seeing as how I was the one who founded the team. That being said, M seemed somewhat stronger than I was, Celes seemed to have more moves (even if most of them were non-damaging), and Kamina seemed to be the most different from his own species with his ability to use fire, and optimistic outlook on life. I didn't even know what, exactly, if anything I was actually good at on this team. I mean, sure, I was okay at using vine whip, but when's that skill going to come in handy when we're fighting some top-level outlaw, hiding in some cave of no return? Probably never."

She turned to the large, translucent psychic ball of goo, who was watching Josh swim about in the furious waters in ecstasy. He seemed to be familiarizing himself with some of the wild pokemon, too. Several more pokemon were washed up onto the shore, scuttling about. Looked like more were coming. Hex lowered herself, so she just fluttered above Josh. ""I think more pokemon are coming. We need to hurry, before they swarm us."" She said, looking at Josh. Several more Omanyte began to emerge from the waters, and one actually attempted to leap at Hex, who then gusted him back into the waters. ""Yup, we really need to hurry!

Her wings worked hard to stir up enough wind in the underground cavern in order to gust, but it was getting fainter and fainter each time. ""C'mon.. c'mon.. whatever! Whatever! I'm done! We need to go!"" Hex said, gusting away yet another Omanyte. It's long, damp tentacle latched around her wing for about a second before it slipped off back into the waters.

I didn't even know if that possible in artificial Pokemon like myself, and Davis himself doubted that odd 'humen' chemical. I cursed under my breath, because all these wild Pokemon were all proficient swimmers. If we were to get washed into sea, we'd be screwed. ""From what I can piece together; it's a hostage situation. We've got both an outlaw Mudkip and Emolga down there, so it's kinda obvious."" Thankfully, most of these wild creatures were scared by the display of electricity arcing from me. I turned around, I see I zapped an entire pool, with Pokemon floating up and incapacitated. ""Yeah, I'm also from Birchwood.

""Wait a minute... you think!?""<br/><br/>That little remark was directed at both Hex and myself.<br/><br/>So, I did that little tactic again. I aimed for the raging sea that was slowly rising, and steadied three of my magnets towards the water. Seemingly, it just got angrier at us, throwing Pokemon of all types (uh, all<i>water</i>types). Without another word, I let off another arc; lightning danced through the air, combining with three other arcs as it struck a Kabuto and stray shiny Shellos (from earlier - damn, I feel sorry for that guy). Through their pathetic squeals, I opened my one eye to see zigzags of yellow bouncing through the contrasting mixture of blue and white...<br/><br/>Hm. If this was a real story, this would probably be considered a 'deus ex machina.' Thank you Davis for pointing that out, you twat. Because this isn't a real story, I have to say Spruce and some unfortunate other team mates were caught in the electric field. Oh boy.

Hex began to flutter down, but immediately pulled upward upon seeing the water sparkling and crackling a blinding white. Most of the fried wild pokemon were either swept away or sinking to the bottom. She scanned the foaming waters, looking for any sign of Josh. The thundershock would deal a fair chunk of damage to him. Maybe not quite as much for the Eevee and Snivy if they were caught up in it, but for a water type like Josh, it could really injure the Skrelp. The Magikarp looked mostly undaunted, though; he was rambling on about being the strongest member of his race. Maybe he wanted to conquer the towns and ravage the dungeons? Burning the whole place to the ground? Something along those lines.<br/><br/>Hex hurriedly fluttered over to the remaining chunks and strips of land left untouched by the quickly rising sea to take a break. Hopefully, Josh was alright. He could probably make his way out of being charred to a crisp, right? 'course he could. She slowly drifted down, her wings, shuttering to a stop, and took a couple of shaky deep breaths. Wasn't at all what she was expecting from being free. Hex was honestly hoping for some sunshine, some trees, no work or stress. Not freezing cold, electric waters, the constant worry of being under attack, or the quickly rising threat of drowning. She quickly flew back up, buzzing and ready. She readied her wings for a gust, scanning the sea for anything to attack. But it looked like a good bit of the wild pokemon had just been wiped out by the thundershock."

That being said, it still hurt. ""Gah! Watch where you aim that thing, next time!"" I shout to M, who was apparently the one who possibly KO'd whatever water-type teammates we brought with us. I then, using the vine whip vine, jump up onto the land, and manage to attack a... uh... wait... what was that? It was some sort of purple blob thing with green eyes and short antennae.

I thought only that weird punching bag pokemon could use that.</i>I think as I try to think about which move I should use next. This thing didn't appear to be a water type, but if it was, then it was either a higher level than I was, or was good at taking attacks... neither of those scenarios worked out very well for me, given that it also had a quick and easy way to literally throw my own attacks back at me. My thought process was then interrupted with the thing shouting ""Explorers, huh? Well, I know I'm getting a promotion from Mister Mudkip when this is over!

She then used confuse ray on him, hoping that those attack combinations would help his team out enough for them to defeat that guy quickly. Less attack and less chance to hit... that actually could help out. She did nto want to attack it too much, cause they he might counter and then this would hurt her a lot more then what she could do to it. She might have practiced tackle a lot, but it was not really the best move to have to say the least. And seriously, seeing the teams typing... They did not have any ice type moves unless by miracle Kamina would have one... but probably not cause of his fire typing.

You got me dragged into this bloody adventure, and I've already incapacitated at least 20 others.</i>The ocean seemed as quiet as the floating fishes, the whole sea dying down and only minor splashes impacting the walls of the cave, and occasional arcs slapped the air with sound. Echoes could be heard from the silence. My droning could now be heard with little trouble, as well as everyone else's squeaky and protagonist-like voices. ""Finally; we can hear each other properly. God bless all those uncivilised Pokemon who flapped their fins and slapped their tentacles into the ocean, 'cause they were deafening."" The little remorse was as much as it could get. Heck, I had to learn it myself, because Davis wasn't really good with emotions.<br/><br/>...was that why he left? He thought friends meant nothing? Did this spread to me in some way? I tried to float over the calm sea whilst trying to keep my head not down, but up. Yet, my team mates were in trouble and expecting some help from this 'General Goom.' Being a part of a team meant I had to work with them, not think of them as another number. Ironically, I was only saving them so I would have more help finding Davis. However, the difference between them and me was that their friends actually stuck around.<br/><br/>Already pissed at the events of today, yesterday, and the last few bloody weeks, I had reached into the water full of sand and iron particles, drawing in most of the electricity into me and making sure I wouldn't explode. ""Alright; I'm sorry for getting your friends possibly killed, for some attempt to save everyone else I know. Would you do the same?"" I asked, rhetorically to some unaware guild/team members.<br/><br/>At the end of it (somewhere around 10 long, awkward seconds), I was glowing yellow and letting cracking arcs every few milliseconds. Mostly aesthetic, really, but I had managed to draw most of the electricity out. Plus, I felt like letting go of something. ""Oi, you!"" I shouted and pointed, my command echoing off walls and being absorbed by the water. I was trying to the enemy to stare at me, but... it didn't work, because... well, you could tell if they had a name like that, then their arrogance would blind them. ""Oh for Arceus' sake."" And that day, I slowly floated over to the scuffle where our Snivy leader was getting owned, parallel to me zapping a stray shiny Shellos towards the glittering walls. (Again, what was with that guy!?) I was mad now, and obviously I couldn't take it out on someone as innocent as Hex.<br/><br/>So, I was facing Goom, who was keeping an eye on... everything. He was spinning and blurting odd words. ""General... Boom!"" With those words came another thunder shock from only a few meters away. This time, six separate dancing rays cascaded into each other, forming three wider and more violent shuffling of electrons in the air. The final one combined turned into a beam, still crackling but otherwise killing you with looks alone. This all happened at once, a flashing image that soon faded away...<br/><br/>Despite this, I calculated a low amount of damage to come. After all, I didn't feel too empowered by the electricity in the sea, and dragons were resistant to electricity. Then again, sometimes my calculations were off..."

He sent a black cloud of smoke at them, and although it slowed them down, they were still coming for him. He used Confusion on the Tympole as he started to back away, but it wasn't enough. One more Confusion brought the Tympole down, but the other four were still moving towards him. He looked behind him to see even more Pokemon coming from that direction. They had him surrounded now. There was no escaping.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the water was filled with a huge jolt of electricity.

Meanwhile, Spruce didn't seem to do much. So anyway; the title 'general' seemed grand enough, but there was always the 'king' (or other higher-authority figures) to lead the general. Either that, or they had some goal. In this case, the self-proclaimed Mr. Mudkip. The name wasn't original at all, so you could obviously tell how inexperienced and 'noobish' he was. (This term would make sense to me, because Davis was a Porygon. Would I have to explain any further?)

Has to hire pretty weak Pokemon.)<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>All that electricity that I absorbed... I think it had an odd effect on me. I was twitching occasionally, and it would be pretty obvious through looking at my eyelid. Despite this, I was ready to narrate our settings:<br/><br/>The caves got noticeably warmer and less damp, uphill yet seemingly flat. The cave seemed to spiral before going straight again, and then branching off two different cave systems. One was cold, the other was normal. Goom here dragged us through the cold tunnel, to his reluctance. The walls didn't seem as corroded, looking more jagged and rugged. I assumed we were going up and above, since it was pretty evident no water had ever flowed in this area. Yet, there was still sand... iron sand, with footprints in them. Thankfully, if some God damn iron tried forming on me, I would repel it away through my other two magnets. Because of this, steadying myself was considerably harder. I had wished for no wild Pokemon to surprise us, otherwise I'd swing a mace of iron at the annoying thing."

With all of them coming after the outlaw, he wouldn't stand a chance. The Goomy began to lead them into a colder, damp cav. Jagged stalagmites dripped water onto the rugged stone floor with a<i>plink</i>sound that echoed throughout the cavern. It was mostly quiet if you excluded the occasional whisper between pokemon or the chittering of a wild pokemon. Her wings began to flutter up a gust, preparing herself for the encounter. Mudkip were usually wild little things. Most of the mudkip she had met before were a bit unstable, muttering to themselves about how the world was some giant simulation and we were just pawns. Not the best pokemon to have as an outlaw.<br/><br/>The Goomy was painfully slow. As he chugged upward, slowly dragging himself through the cave, she noticed the ghost of a smile playing on it's face. It probably thought the Mudkip would easily overpower the explorers, or just escape with the hostage. She couldn't tell for sure. Hex began to flutter her wings rapidly, preparing a gust in case the Goomy attempted to betray them or the Mudkip ambush them. As Hex continued upward, she noticed Matt and Josh had joined the group. Luckily, they'd survived the shock. Josh had a couple of visible charred marks on him from the electricity, but otherwise he looked good as new. ""Hey,"" Hex said, fluttering by Josh. ""That M is pretty strong, right?"""

""Hey,"" she said. ""That M is pretty strong, right?""<br/><br/>""Yeah, that attack did a lot to me."" He looked at all of the burn marks he now had.

""Hey, um, why are you so happy?"" I ask General Goom, who says ""Well, it's just nice to finally have some explorers who are strong enough to help me and Ma- uh, I mean, Mister Mudkip on one of our jobs! Ya see, we're explorers, too, and apparently, Mister Mudkip already saved this emolga, but she didn't pay him for it, so then he told me to go get her so we can get our reward... a reward which my mother and I really need."" that explanation was strangely long, and oddly wrong. These were outlaws, right? As in, not explorers? The whole 'mother' part was strange, as he didn't mention having any other family... was she a single mother somewhere, then, and he was just trying to help her? If so, then it seems like he just got mixed up in a bad crowd trying to help her out. We eventually make it to some weird hole in the wall, that is, after General Goom handled a couple omanyte and kabuto that decided to block our path. None of them stood a chance against his absorb attack. ""Well, here we are, everyone! Uh... just let me put on my helmet really quick..."" He then heads into the cave, and comes back out with a green helmet with splotches of darker green and brown all over it, and added ""Well, let's go! This is just so exciting for me.""<br/><br/>I then head into the small cave with General Goom, and find a mudkip wearing a suit and tie, and a tied up emolga, who appeared to be screaming for help. ""Wow... um... I-I had no idea about this... Mister Mudkip usually just tells me to stay outside when we have a guest over."" General Goom says somewhat timidly. The mudkip, who I'm assuming is Mister Mudkip, then turns to see us. ""Oh, good, you've brought another one, General Goom."" He says, with General Goom shaking whatever was supposedly his head, and responding with ""Wh-what's going on here? Why is she tied up like that? Isn't that hurting her, or something?"" this response made Mister Mudkip laugh, and say ""Yeah... wait, you still haven't figured it out? This is what we do, Goom."" this seemed to almost physically damage Goom, who said ""What? I-I thought we were just an unofficial exploration team! You... you lied to me!?"" Mister Mudkip laughed even harder at that, and said ""Yeesh, what a dope, YES I LIED! This was the only way to get money for us, you dolt. In case you don't remember, no guild would have us. If you're leaving, that's fine by me..."" Mister Mudkip then pulls out a conch shell and blows on it, summoning several wild water types to his aid. ""Well, guy, looks like we're fighting for the same thing... um, sorry for being bad, earlier."" General Goom says as the water types start heading towards us. He then adds ""Oh, and, you can call me Anthony... Anthony Birch.""<i>Birch? Could he somehow be related to me? If so, then how? Well, I guess that's not important, after all, we've got a flood of water-types to fight through, now.</i>I think when I hear his name. I was fairly quiet through this whole ordeal because I had no idea what was going on... of course, there really weren't too many other water types, there was literally just one for everyone who was on our team, including Anthony. I pull out a vine whip, and look back in preparation of another fight."

She then attemps to use confuse ray of the multiple pokemons 1 by one, aiming to hit that mudkip with one. She then received a scratch attack, but she shakes it off. She thne runs forwards and uses tackles on one of the wild water pokemons, aiming to strike it hard and to maybe do a critical strike. The faster they go and finish those guys, the better. It was 2 missions in one right now, so they really had to work hard to finish this. She then received another scratch attack. She shakes that one off again, breathing deeply. They were only scratch attacks, not fighting type moves at least.. She then uses baby doll eyes, trying to look at everyone of the water types, possibly making go in awe and stop their attacks just a bit. She just hoped the team could manage."

Clauncher!"" Hex choked out, a Clauncher's claw ensnaring the Combee tightly. It hardened it's grip, and Hex could feel it whittling away at her. She flew into the air, spiraling out of control, and finally threw the Clauncher off of her. It landed on the hard cave wall, and upon hitting it, the shell made a loud, metal clanging noise. After shaking off it's momentary confusion, the pokemon aimed a large blue claw at Hex, and a strong flow of water spurted from it's claw, dousing the Combee. ""Clauncher. I really, really hate Clauncher."" She muttered to herself, shaking off the water. Hex threw the pre-prepared gust at the Clauncher. It flew on it's back and began spinning out of control like a renegade top, bouncing off the walls of the cave like a ball in a pinball machine. It slammed hard into a rock, finally ending it's spin. The Clauncher lay on it's back, dazed and disabled.<br/><br/>""That's it for him."" Hex said, looking at the confused Clauncher. She turned to the rest of the pokemon. Celes was quickly taking out most of the wild pokemon around her, dazing them and then damaging them. Hex gusted at some of the starstruck water types, in an attempt to help some of them. Hopefully, after completing the mission and defeating the wild pokemon, she'd level up a level or two. That would certainly help, and add a bit of variety to her moveset other than Gust and Sweet Scent- Sweet Scent. She hadn't used that yet. Hex closed her eyes, and concentrated. A sweet, sticky aroma filled the battlefield, and several water types inhaled. They became slightly drowsy, and tripped on their own feet. They were less likely to dodge attacks now, which should help some of the others. Right now, she seemed like more of the support to the fighters."

He retaliated with Confusion, but unfortunately didn't quite knock it out. Just as he was about to attack again, a Tympole flopped over to him and used Supersonic. His vision went blurry at that point. He couldn't tell which Pokemon were his friends and which ones were enemies. He could barely make out two Pokemon in front off him. He used Confusion on one, and it appeared to fall over, although Josh couldn't really tell. The second Pokemon used Bubble on him, but then got hit by a Psyshock from the side. As he regained his senses, he saw that the Tympole and the Shellos were both knocked out. Matt picked Josh up again, and Josh used Smokescreen in order to help his teammates.He noticed that a bunch of the Pokemon were confused, and all of them were under the effects of what appeared to be Sweet Scent.

At least you could step or float in it without changing height every step. Unfortunately, wishes didn't come true. Faith and other things to me were just denial to... pretty much everything. Obviously, faith is needed for determination. If I didn't have determination to find Davis, then obviously something was missing.<br/><br/><i>'.-. ..- -.'</i>That odd message kept floating around in my mind, bouncing off ideas. Both nonsensical and strange. One of them was that he was abducted by a higher power. Otherwise, I had very little idea what the message was about, much less the content of it. I spent weeks figuring out that, but Davis' odd and possibly incomplete message wasn't going to be solved anytime soon. Yet, I wasn't giving up, thinking about it while moving around at the same time. I had noticed the cave had gotten more hostile, the environment reflecting this as more stupidly brave Pokemon tried murdering us. The amount of openings were dwindling as we went further into the system. I said goodbye to the last hole of sunlight peeking through, because we had been traveling in darkness for some time. I had reason to believe it was going to be our last source of outside light, until...<br/><br/>...we found torches nailed into walls two minutes later. Translated into fighting time, we fought one Pokemon that nicked me. I laughed at it initially, but... it was a nick. I had never got a nick. A FRICKIN' NICK. Most of the time, Pokemon would struggle getting through the electrifying boulder that was me. Futile attempts to break my shell, wasted away by broken claws, cracked teeth and bruised tails. I knew from that nick that I wasn't invulnerable. What an environment I was exposed to... full of Birchwood Pokemon that did little to even hurt or maim. I would've made another insincere comment about Davis, but I was interrupted by our guide.<br/><br/>""That's a... THAT'S a standard-issue- oh screw it. History doesn't really matter if it stretches by over a millennium."" For some reason, that PHAAB (acronym for Personal Head Armour Against General Ballistics, which was made by the popular Johan 'something' back then) was in that Goomy's possession. Normally, it wouldn't fit on Pokemon, but obviously being a gastropod he was able to stuff his head/entire body into it. Plus, he was already strange for being able to utilize unexpected moves not normally seen in a Goomy. I wasn't shocked or anything, but I stayed in one place, motionless as I stared at the Goomy slither and wobble. I followed shortly afterwards, because I was left behind. I thought I had heard another message, but that was just some little holes in the wall whistling from the sea wind blowing through. They didn't look natural... neither did the cave we were currently in. It was smooth. Visible cracks were around. More tiny holes that were craters riddled the wall of the cave...<br/><br/>I didn't care. That was probably the Mudkip doing something nasty. Most likely; digging holes for the three torches that weren't arranged in any sort of fashion. They were all eye level, with some with less wood burning.<br/><br/>Finally, we were in the Mudkip's hideout. ""See? It IS a hostage situation."" I pointed out to my delight. What? Nobody responded, so I expected nobody to realise what I had said earlier. This was pretty ant-climatic thanks to all the Pokemon running to storm us.<br/><br/><i>...storm, eh?</i>Nope. I was not doing that team-killing move again. I had to go for a lighter approach. ""Who objects to me killing everyone in this room? At least the weak Pokemon around."" I sounded stupid just to ask, but receiving confirmation meant I was free to electrocute everything in this room without... guilt. Guilt. Now that's an emotion I was looking for. On track: I assumed nobody could answer me while being splashed on or slapped. So, without hesitation, I let off a bolt of electricity and struck a shell or fish in its gut, making it doing a front-half-somersault. ""Perfect aim.""<br/><br/>Yet, another damn nick. From a little ball of water that merely pushed me aside. ""What a poor choice for an opponent."" I faced the idiotic Pokemon that had attacked me, twice because I was turning so fast. I'd blame Davis for allowing scratches to get on so easily, but he did the best he could to find a suitable strong and light metal for my body. So... I was going to kill him if I found him. After all, I had taken on a creepy and sinister tone."

She then rush forwards and tackles it, pushing it back a good couple of feet. She then jumps in the air and lands on one of the shellos head, uses the force for the impact on the head and then hit straight into a Clauncher, pushing it back a good couple of feet. He then aims a confuse ray straight towards the mudkip, hoping to hit him and possibly making him dizzy and strike his own teammates. So many water types... it was getting really ridiculous at the moment. It was like if they wanted to just send every pokemon from the dungeon to them to beat them up when they were just doing their job of capturing a crook and possibly saving someone from that said crook. And if that emolga was a female, then for crying out loud it was saving the damsel in distress all over again...

Yeah, he's kinda a noobish Magikarp, he can't use Tackle yet!"" I call out to Celes, who somehow thought Kamina knew tackle. If he did know tackle, I'm certain he would be using it against these water types, plus, it kinda takes a while for them to learn that technique. I then watch as a kabuto runs in the way of Celes' confuse ray, taking the attack for the Mudkip... seems like we won't be able to get to him until we beat his new minions. With that thought, I turn back towards my opponent, a squirtle who looked pretty mad at everyone, but was not otherwise noteworthy. After easily taking a water gun, laughing as that just really didn't do much thanks to my type. I then attack him with vine whip, which obviously hurt him quite a bit, as his screams of pain would have indicated. He gets back up from the attack, however, and uses withdraw, retreating back into his shell, and now much more prepared for my attacks. Unfortunately, I didn't have any attacks that would pierce through his defenses, so I had to use vine whip again, which sent him and his shell sliding all over the cave, sending him into several pokemon, including some of his own teammates. Unfortunately, when it came time for the mudkip to get hit, something else took his place and took the damage for him... again... the squirtle then got out of his shell with a face that said he was dizzy and confused.<i>Well, that certainly worked out for me, even if he didn't take too much from that last attack.</i>I think as I walk over to the squirtle, vine whip in hand.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I didn't really hear what that eevee was yelling about because I had a new mission, to defeat that liar I thought was my friend. He sent several pokemon, supposedly my replacements at us, though, unlike me, they were all water types, which meant that they all had a common weakness, one that was found and demonstrated by that snivy. What attacked me was no more than a shellos, a blue one, which means that he must come from the east, or something. Knowing its weakness, I use absorb on the thing, though... it didn't seem too fazed by the attack. ""Huh? Hey, why aren't you in pain?"" I ask the shellos, who shrugs, and says ""Well, you're not very good at using grass type moves, and absorb's weak."" Dang, he was right, but how did he know that I struggle at using moves like absorb? It didn't matter, as the thing started throwing mud everywhere, covering the opposing side in it.<i>What the heck did that do? I mean, mud doesn't effect grass, right?</i>I think as I use absorb on the thing, again, though I may not have had any health to recover, this was my best means of attack as long as this shellos doesn't actually use a physical attack on me, which was doubtful, as they, like me, lacked the limbs to actually perform most physical attacks. The thing then seemingly controls some mud and tries to blind me with it... the attack kinda hurt, I guess, but my vision was protected thanks to the fact that I pretty much withdrew into the helmet just to protect my eyes from that attack."

The Emolga was tied up in the corner, so Hex decided to make that her main priority. In all the chaos and disorder, the Emolga was still in the corner, silent.<br/><br/>""Hey."" Hex fluttered down by the Emolga, who was still trying to get away, squirming down the cavern. ""We'll get you out of these. I just need something sharp."" Unfortunately, Hex wasn't the best at calming pokemon down. The Emolga was breathing rapidly, appearing to be in a state of extreme stress. She didn't respond to Hex. ""Okaayy then."" Hex said, looking at the Emolga. The Mudkip was currently trying to make his way over, so she needed to hurry. She looked around for something to get her out of the ropes with. Not much to work with. She doubted any of the other pokemon could really snap the tightly binding ropes.<br/><br/>Maybe M or the Magikarp could burn the ropes, but she doubted that they'd be able to do it without hurting the hostage. Spruce, Celes, Anthony, and Josh probably couldn't do it, considering that the only one with hands was Spruce, and he didn't seem to be great with them, mostly using his vines. Maybe Matt could pull them apart, or untie her, but the Reuniclus seemed to have three, large gooey fingers, and she doubted that they would be great for untying such tightly knotted ropes.

The air was filled with vibrations, entering eardrums of most Pokemon and setting the danger-filled atmosphere. Water Pokemon that had foolishly went against us were sent back to their sleep, as we continued fighting the dozen that had rose from the underground pool. No longer dry this place, but wet again and with tiny holes that had been corroded over a millennium. Obviously, they didn't seem like natural features.<br/><br/>I watched on as one of the Pokemon had gotten up and retreated into the sea, dragging her Tympole partner by his tail. I wasn't stopping anytime soon, and neither was anyone else in this room/cave. But, change was going to happen soon, especially as I hadn't done anything about the original attack - Mister Mudkip. That bastard and his smug smile. He satirically pitied us on and rubbed saliva off his conch shell, complaining to himself about the mess on his Poke-burning sleeves. I refrained from attacking as I clenched an Omanyte's tentacle between a pair of magnets, and let go - the end result was the thing slapping its eyes hard, insult to injury being paralysed shortly afterwards. ""This ends now,<span class=""bb-strike"">Sforza</span>Mister!"" I angrily clanged three of my magnets by swinging them below me, a seemingly impossible feat due to the magnetism repelling all three from each other. Made possible by getting all the north and south sides facing together. Then, I had to turn the sides again to repel, since they were being attracted to each other.<br/><br/>""It quite certainly will!"" The Mudkip gracefully put his conch into his suit (which struck me as just ridiculous, as I thought I knew that thick object wouldn't fit at all), and his gestures reflected his blinding ego. ""Where's your guild NOW, 'Nickson?'"" He sarcastically quipped, loudly-<br/><br/>""Oh, that's gonna be your last words in your obituary. Beat him up, Atty!"" Puns. Never failed me at my lowest moments. Plus, he started it, so I would be continuing out of 'respect.'<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>In my attempt to throw Anthony (Spruce's long lost something to which I would react after the fight) at the Mudkip, I let loose only a PHAAB helmet at his head. Anthony wasn't inside. Sure, the helmet itself dealt some damage by disorientating him and giving him a bad bruise, but clearly fighting both him and wild Pokemon would be pretty damn difficult. Especially if the latter's trying to drag you down with a tentacle or two. ""I knew something like that would happen. Sorry, Anthony. Not so sorry about electrocuting you earlier."" So, I started shooting bolts of electricity at the Mudkip, forming craters in the walls as they exploded from the charge. Mudkip himself was no longer disorientated to my dismay, awaken by a pair of lightning bolts that had zoomed pass his cheek and leg. ""Now I did NOT expect that.""<br/><br/>""Nice try. You missed twice in two seconds!""<br/><br/>""That's why third's the charm, you bloody charade!"" It wasn't.

The cold, yet dry, rocky floor underneath me I continue forwards, trying to ignore the coldness of the floor. The mudkip saw that I had broken through his barrier, and he starts walking away from me, scared. ""Uh... um... you, um, wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would ya?"" He asks as he puts on a pair of glasses, apparently thinking that I'm above fighting dirty. He was wrong, of course, as I quickly hit the supposed businessman mudkip with a vine whip to the face, knocking off his, apparently false, glasses. The glasses, which were merely glasses rims bounced a little and landed in the water that created a sort of ring around this place, sinking to the bottom slowly. The mudkip, now sweating and nervous, tries to run away, however, he simply runs into a wall. With nowhere left to go, he starts to panic, giving me time to notice an unusually sharp rock nearby. I pick up the rock, and run over to the trapped emolga, and use the rock to cut through the ropes that bound her. After removing the gag, she flies off in pursuit of the mudkip, and I ran off after her. She seemed pretty mad at the guy, who started to try to throw mud at her... of course, the attack just flat-out missed, and he took a thundershock to the back... which... thanks to a certain shellos' mud sport didn't actually do much. I then notice the cave getting brighter, and turn around to see an orb of light traveling towards me. I couldn't dodge, and next thing I knew, i was facing off against a shellos, rather than Mister Mudkip, with Anthony shouting back ""Sorry, guy, but this fight's kinda personal!""<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Hey!"" I shouted at the magnemite who decided to take my helmet, and throw it at someone. His throwing of my helmet didn't do all that much, and now, I was without one.<i>Why'd he have to do that? I liked my helmet, and now I have to go find it when we're done, here.</i>I think as I try to sort through the items that Mister Mudkip gave me during my time with him. I find a switcher orb, and notice that snivy was pretty close to my helmet, as well as Mister Mudkip, himself. Without a second thought, but with a clear shot, I use the orb, and watch as the ball of light hits the snivy, and teleports me to his position... of course, it also teleported him to my old position. ""Sorry, guy, but this fight's kinda personal!"" I shout back to the snivy, who seemed somewhat confused about the whole thing. I then ooze back into my helmet, and make sure that it's back on my head. After that was finished, I turn back towards Mister Mudkip, and say ""I should have known that you'd come up with something like this... your ideas are never good."" I then add ""Oh, and I know that you always lie about our apple stock just so you can have a few more, of course, that's nothing compared to this. You can't just lead someone into believing that they're doing the right thing... and then expect them to be cool with it when they see a tied up pokemon who's screaming for help!"" I then, after that whole deal, use absorb on the mudkip, dealing some damage to the guy, and causing him to panic even more. Of course, he tried to use water gun on me, but that really didn't do anything, thanks to my typing."

Continuously, the Omanyte grappled me as it tried to wrap me. I just hissed at that, because all he could do was entangle me. Hissed and pissed I was. I let off an electric current to shake it off, although it still hung on by a tentacle... slowly, it was beginning to climb back on me, despite my warning shot. ""Alright, your profound deafness isn't gonna help you now."" I would've chased after the Arceus-damn Magikarp through the illuminated cave, had the Omanyte let go instead of dragging me to the ground. So, instead of wasting a precious current on it, I spun my three magnets around. Really fast. As in, they could support my weight alone. I had sent sparks flying, as well as the stubborn Omanyte into a strange rock feature... a stalagmite, a giant's needle. Blood stained the tip of the spike, while a bloodcurdling scream came from the shell alone. It dulled my hearing for a brief second, but for all I cared, that thing finally let go of me. ""Ignorance leads to downfall."" I mouthed sharply.<br/><br/>I would regret this action later on. Wounding a Pokemon to the point where it barely escapes Death's claws... I never understood the concept of life. I was merely a mechanical being that had to be taught life's lessons, both easy and hard. I had never been taught anything about life, and the importance of it. I would resent this. Davis, you bloody... creator.<br/><br/>I shook my magnet and took my hidden anger towards the Mudkip. Despite my own lust for revenge, this was a personal fight for Anthony. That, I would understand, realising this as I approached the two through the cave, leading to a more dark and damp environment. Some reflections from the sea peeked through the little holes in the wall and imprinted themselves in the ceiling. A tranquil setting perfect for romance (according to Davis), juxtaposed by the quest for vengeance.<br/><br/>How did I understand vengeance, but not life? Because, I was in between seeking vengeance against Davis, or rejoicing and embracing Davis if I was to find him again."

She sighed before getting hit by a tympole, who strike her with super sonic. Celes started to feel confused, but then used confuse ray which hits the tympole also luckily. Both of them started to move around aimlessly. Celes actually started to use sand-attack around her, trying to maybe hit that tympole so he would not do supersonic on her again. It failed 2 times, going no where, then hit the tympole 1 time. In the tympoles side, it used bubble, and actually hit Celes one time. Celes started to feel week, but then took 1 oran berry out of her bag and ate it. She then shakes her head, taking back her senses. The tympole was still confuse at least. She suddenly uses tackle on it, and strikes it hard, making it back away. She then gets hit by bubble by the tympole that got out of confusion. She used confuse ray once again, and the tympole used bubble, that actually missed her with the effect of sand attack. She then uses tackle once again. That dang thing was shooting so many bubbles everywhere that it would not surprise her if it actually hit himself with it. It then shook it's head and sent bubbles at her quickly, hitting her. She rush to it and then smash onto it with tackle, making it feel extremely weak. It was almost down for the count. It then used bubble once again, hitting Celes, unfortunately with a critical hit, which left her wobbling slightly. She then finishes off the tympole with one last tackle, making it fall down on the cave floor, too weak to continue. She wished she could have fought with other moves... but she was stuck with these moves. For now at least... maybe she would learn something soon at least."

Hex commented, looking over the cavern. Anthony was after Mister Mudkip. The Emolga was gone. They were just about ready to pack up and head home.<br/><br/>The young combee quickly flew out of the way of a stray bubble. Few enemy pokemon were left standing on the battlefield, and most were injured or dazed. One particular pokemon was targeting her specifically; a corsola. The corsola launched a few bubbles at her, trying to knock Hex out of the air. Three of them missed, but one clipped her wing, causing her to fly out of control. She landed hard on the ground, and the corsola saw her chance, and tackled her. Hex's wings shuttered, but the corsola continued it's relentless assault, continuously attacking her, with it's<i>evil</i>pinkness and menacing smile. In reality, it looked more so the corsola was simply cuddling the combee, but Hex felt like she was getting badly damaged. Her wings fluttered once again, slowly making her way into the air.<br/><br/>Hex glowered at the corsola before stirring up a gust, and blowing it away. The corsola clung to the floor before being flown straight into another cave wall. Hex did this a couple more times for good measure. The corsola launched another bubble attack at Hex, but their two attacks collided, gust and bubble, air and water colliding, forming something you might see in some anime about super saiyans. Hex's gust blew the water straight out back at the corsola, covering it, and the corsola finally lay on the ground, knocked out. ""That was a really resilient corsola."" She panted, looking at it, unconscious. ""Really. Resilient.""<br/><br/>Hex slowly flew back on the battlefield, to watch Anthony and the Mudkip duke it out, maybe lending some gusts. But it seemed Anthony was really determined for it to be his battle."

I then counter-attack with vine whip, apparently dealing quite a bit of damage to the shellos, who tried to counter that with harden, meaning that my next attack won't really do all that much. I simply continued on with vine whip, using the fact that it didn't attack to try to scope out a weak spot on the thing. I may have found one, however, when I tried to attack it, the head got in the way, meaning that my attempt to critical failed, at least, it failed this time. It was still standing after my attack, but just barely. It surprised me with water pulse, but I still didn't take much, thanks to the fact that I was a grass type. Thankfully, it didn't confuse me, either, so I actually got to joke around by saying ""Thanks, I was getting kinda thirsty anyways."" the shellos didn't take the joke too well, but before it could attack again, I smacked it with a vine whip, hitting the weak spot, which was actually on its back, and just above the thing's heart. The shellos passed out, surprised that I managed to attack it there, as well as sustaining a few too many attacks. I was finally done with that, and hurried towards Mister Mudkip, though, the emolga blocked my path, saying ""We'll be here if he calls on us, but for now, we should wait. This is Anthony's fight, after all."" I nodded, and sat down after that, now ready to attack the mudkip, should the time come.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Ack, um, I mean, you were always such a fool, of COURSE I could control you. That's what smart pokemon tend to do to dopes like you."" Mister Mudkip said to me after taking my attack and countering with another water gun. Again, it seemed as if the water simply slid off of me without harm... of course, most special attacks tended to do that with me. I then responded to his little 'speech' with ""These nice pokemon weren't controlling me, and that snivy guy over there, he gave me his only oran berry. I don't think it's all smart pokemon that do that... I think it's all mean, twisted, or otherwise evil pokemon that do!"" I then use absorb on him, healing back whatever health I may have lost from his water gun. He then pulls out his own oran berry, and says ""What, you mean one of these? Well, I guess I should be proud that you actually figured out how to use one, then."" he then eats the thing right in front of my face, obviously healing whatever damage he just took. Just how dumb did he think I was? Of course I knew how to use one of those, it's basic life... if I didn't know how to eat, I'd be dead from starvation by now. I would have pointed that out, but I was too angry to do anything other than attack... so, that's what I did, I used absorb on Mister Mudkip, again, saying ""You know what? These names you came up with aren't too great. I think I'll just call you by your normal name, now, Martin!"" that seemed to shock him, and caused him to panic, again, saying ""Wh-what do you think you're doing!? You can't just tell other pokemon who I am! Shoot... now they know who I am, and where to find me more easily. Uh, I mean, who the heck is Martin?"" He then used Mud Slap on me, apparently trying to make sure that my attacks won't hit, but, like last time, I hid my eyes behind the helmet to prevent that issue."

She then felt a new kind of energy.... one she did not have before... could it be.... She looked at the ground, and unleashed that energy. It came up as a swift attack, and she just stared at the ground. A new move! Finally something that she could use to actually hurt instead of using tackle, and looking at it, it seemed more powerful also then her tackle attack. She looked towards Anthony, waiting.

""I believe he wants to fight alone.""<br/>Upon looking around the room, Josh realized that Matt was probably right. Almost everyone else was waiting for him to either defeat the Mudkip or ask for help.

Then again, neither are Combee.""<br/><br/>Hex held back her gust, ready to release it at any moment the Goomy might need help. This was an all out battle between the two, and she doubted Anthony would make it out without some help. Maybe she underestimated General Goom, but the Mudkip was still powerful and persuasive. Hex thought for a moment, hovering in the air beside Matt and Josh. There were two choices here for her to go with. Either Hex could gust away the Mudkip, ruining Anthony's revenge. She could also just wait it out, and see how the battle might go, but at the cost that the General might not make it out. She decided to stick with the latter. Better to try to let Goom get some experience on his own.<br/><br/>Hex noticed she had an awful habit for overthinking things and rambling on and on in her head. Maybe she should stop, and simplify stuff up a bit. Being trapped up in that hive all day had some effects on her that couldn't really be reversed. Now she was doing it again. Hex shifted her attention to the battle, trying to block out anything that popped up."

Anthony would get two absorbs in, healing the damage Martin could give him from water gun, but then Martin would heal himself with an oran berry, undoing Anthony's absorbs... the two didn't seem to be getting tired anytime soon, either... this was going to take a while. ""I think they're at a stalemate..."" I point out to any teammates who might also be watching this, er, if you can still call it a fight. The occasional mud-slap would find its way to break up the usual pattern of water gun, absorb, water gun, absorb, oran berry, but it didn't seem to help out Martin, at all, and still counted as special, so counter wouldn't do anything to help Anthony, unfortunately. The two seemed dead-set on fighting each other, with neither side tiring, with neither side gaining or losing any ground, it was a draw through and through, and, for some reason, nobody wanted to call on help, that is, until I heard Anthony say ""Guys! I can't beat him on my own... um, mind helping me out?"" I then jumped to the task, and after Anthony used absorb, I ran up to Martin, and used vine whip on the jerk, surprising him, and making him drop his oran berry, which found its way to the little moat surrounding the battle arena.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The battle between Martin and myself raged on, unending as the jerk seemed to have an unlimited supply of oran berries, berries which he would never have shared with me if I were in trouble, that is, even back when we were working together. Another absorb to heal from another water gun, and another oran berry, and I wasn't sure if anything was really happening. I could use absorb all day, and obviously the glutton that Martin is would be able to eat oran berries all day, which meant that our attacks and heals canceled each other out completely. I'd always hide in my helmet whenever a mud-slap would find its way to my face, just to make sure that the mud never gets in my eyes, and I can still go through my portion of this... well, I guess it's a comedy show, now, since the fighting part is completely unnecessary. Of course, it wasn't really all that funny of a comedy, just weird. About five, er, six? Seven? Absorbs later, I finally decide on something... I can't do anything here. No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to actually work on this guy. I decide to no longer make it entirely personal, and notice that some of my friends have finished fighting their minions, so, I shout out ""Guys! I can't beat him on my own... um, mind helping me out?"" that snivy was the first to join in on the fight, using vine whip almost as soon as I completed my absorb attack, and, even better, knocking away Martin's oran berry.

Finally, the stalemate was over.<br/><br/>Hex used a well-aimed gust at the Mudkip, launching a massive wave of air at him. Hopefully, the air didn't get in the way of any of her teammates. Hex began to launch a steady stream of gusts at the Mudkip, fluttering her wings rapidly and then releasing one after the other. She doubted the Mudkip would stand a chance. Heck, a couple hits from M would probably do him in good, as long as M didn't hit anyone else,<i>cough</i>teamkiller<i>cough</i>. The Mudkip was getting messed up pretty badly now, from everyone's attacks. Vine Whip hopefully did a number on Martin, and if M used Thundershock he would get Martin down low.<br/><br/>Hex fluttered slightly closer to the battlefield, still keeping high above the Mudkip.

(""That's what you get for shoving me into a wall!"") Despite this, I felt as if retribution was needed. This wasn't enough in a way... clearly, he had manipulated an innocent former friend of his into his right-hand man. Clearly, after Anthony realised what was happening, he didn't want to be his right-hand man.<br/><br/>Then, I thought hard as to what was I really thinking; it wasn't retribution. It was team work. ""I'd suggest you get out of the way."" I stated with not further warning. I hovered slowly towards the Mudkip, beaten in every axis that was discovered to be X, Y and Z. ""I think it would be in his best interests to... stay down, yes?"" And so, with those final words, I had arranged three of my magnets in a 'y' like fashion, letting loose a storm from my magnets.

Heh, good job, and thank you all for helping."" I then look around for my badge, and use it to teleport myself, and the rest of my team (making sure to use the badge on M, who didn't have one yet, first) back to the guild to get our reward... oh, that's right, I also made sure to bring the outlaw with us just to be sure that we can actually turn him in to officer Blake, the bisharp. He was actually waiting for us when we all teleported in, and seemed surprised, somehow, that we were able to complete a mission.

Without that Snivy's team, I guess I was going to have to join some other pokemon. ""Uh... guys? Mind if I tag along with you? I kinda don't have anywhere else to go."" I asked the other team. Of course I would have told them my name, but something told me that they already knew. Of course, they'd have to teleport me, as well as the emolga, back to their base, or, whatever they called it... I just hoped that I wouldn't be a burden. I then wondered aloud ""Say... if you guys are a team, what's your team name?"" I then simply waited for their response, secretly hoping that they'd accept me on their team. Of course, if they didn't, I'd probably find some other way of making money to help support myself and my mother... but... well... with what I've done with that Martin, I kinda felt that I had to repay the world, somehow.<i>I can't believe I was roped into becoming an outlaw, just because Martin told me I was doing good things, and that I was helping other pokemon...</i>I think as I sit there and wait under my helmet, looking up at the combee who may just decide my fate."

Could be really powerful when trained, and usually really loyal. Adorable, too. But he had also partnered with an outlaw. He had a helping hand in trapping that poor Emolga, even if he didn't know it. Maybe he had done even more crimes, not knowing that he was actually doing bad. She doubted that Arnold and Archie would take in an outlaw as an explorer.<br/><br/>Hex glanced at Josh and Matt, still hovering there. ""So, what do you think? Should we let him in? He seems pretty trustworthy to me."" Hex said, floating over to the duo. ""I mean, doesn't seem to do much harm in letting him in."" She huddled closer. ""Also I think we should get a team name.""

I pointed out, taking Pokemon from Spurce's leafy hands and floating them in front of me. Unfortunately, I didn't control my magnetism upon taking my share of the reward... and, I ended up grabbing some of Kamina's and Celes' money. ""Pardon me; this isn't what it looks like."" I tried to explain, unaware I was still holding half of the aforementioned parties' money."

""Hey, cut that out. I kinda want the money that I've earned."" I say to him as I start jumping to get the money that was flying around him. I manage to get a '100' poke-coin, as well as a '20' and a '10' from his magnetic pull. I then decide that the best bet for me would be to walk out and try to buy something with this, however, once I was already in the shopping area, I noticed that one of the zeroes on each of the coins was made with dirt... uh, whoops... seems like instead of 130 poke, I ended up with 13 poke.<i>Drat... well, it's not like I'll ever hear the end of this from M if I go back, might as well just keep this hidden from everyone...</i>I think as I head over to one of the stalls, and talk to the clerk, a keckleon, of course, I couldn't tell the difference between any of them, so I didn't know which one it was. I was trying to make it seem as though I was shopping, and had the right amount of cash. Of course, with how bad I was at hiding things, I was sure that anyone with half a brain could figure out that I messed up, somehow, and that I really shouldn't be 'shopping' due to my mess up. ""So.. three apples, right?"" I ask as a part of my obviously already failed charade, with the keckleon not even buying it, and simply giving me an annoyed look. I simply laugh, albeit nervously, and continue on as if nobody's figured it out, yet.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""I'm in, then? YES! Thank you, um, Josh, right?"" I say to the skrelp, who was now sitting in a bucket being held by Matt, at least, that's who I think they were, for all I know, that could be completely wrong. I then hear them ask about emolga, and look around only to find her sitting near where Martin used to be, apparently resting her wings, or something. ""She's right over there, um, let's go! Onwards, team... um... Scarab?"" I say, with a little bit of hesitance on the last part. I knew that scarabs were some sort of ancient bug dating before even the likes of kabuto, and other similar pokemon, but I wasn't sure if anyone else would like the team name. I headed over to the emolga, notably excited about finally having a team, and a legitimate way of making money, but, I realized something... I needed to apologize for what I did to her. I calmed myself down, and said ""Um... miss emolga... sorry about leading you here, I really didn't know what would happen."" the emolga smirked, and said ""You can call me Emily, and, apology accepted as long as you get me out of this place. This moisture's not doing my fur any good."" I then turned back towards my team with a happy look on my face, and ask ""So, leader, would you mind getting us all out of this place?"" of course, I was looking at the combee when I asked that, as she seemed to be the leader... of course, for all I know, it could be Matt, in which case, I'd probably be laughed at."

I guess it's more of a partnership.."" Hex said, glancing at Matt and Josh. ""But I kind of like the name Team Scarab. I think it sounds cool."" Team Scarab. Sounded pretty fierce, and the name could strike fear into the hearts of any pokemon that crossed their paths. Hex liked it.<br/><br/>Hex slowly lowered herself, the satchel still clinging loosely to her. The bag hit the ground making an odd, echoing clunking noise, despite the only item in it was the small badge. The combee began to fiddle with it, rustling through it's folds. It was slightly more difficult doing this without any hands, whereas someone like Spruce or Celes could just tap it with their hands or legs to get back home. She had to lower her whole body on it. After a minute or so, she finally found the badge. Hex peeked herself out of the bag, where Josh, Matt, Anthony, and Emily stood. Matt and Josh already had a badge, so they just needed to grab Anthony and Emily and they were good.<br/><br/>""Got it!"" She announced, looking between them all. ""So, I guess this works like we just press it, and it teleports us back?"" She went back down again and re emerged with the badge in her mouth, and fluttered over to Anthony. ""Do we have to be touching someone else to teleport them?"" Hex asked, looking at Josh."

She groan a bit at this, before jumping up and taking her own coins fromthe magentic pull and hitting some of them with swift, making them fall down on the floor.. She then looked as Spruce walked out of the guild and headed to the stores. She fallowed, listening to him, feeling as if he made a mistake or forgot something... She walks to him, looking at him, hearing about the 3 apples.<br/>""Spruce... Do you want me to pay for those for you?"" she asks him. He might have made a mistake with the money and how much everyone got, but that magnetic pull thing back there did not help at all. M should really control his dang magnetic pull, cause it was making everyone have mistake with their actually money amount. She looked at Spruce, worried a bit about him. He probably gonna need those apples if they go in a dungeon again and have to stay in there for a very long time.<br/>""I know we might need them for the next journey we would do."" she then says to him rather calmly."

He had no idea what a scarab was. Probably some kind of land creature. Hex seemed to agree, though. ""Um...yeah, I guess that's a good name.""<br/>Matt nodded in agreement. ""I do like that name.""<br/>Hex was looking in her bag for something. A moment later, she emerged with her badge in her mouth. ""So, I guess this works like we just press it, and it teleports us back? Do we have to be touching someone else to teleport them?""<br/>Matt put Josh down for a moment, and looked at his badge. ""It certainly seems that way."" He put one of his hands on Emily's head, and pressed his badge. After a yellow glow filled the cave, they had both disappeared.<br/>Josh looked up at Hex. ""Looks like you were right."" He took out his badge. ""Do you think it'll work if Anthony touches the side of the bucket?"""

I gueff?"" Hex said, looking down at the badge in her mouth. ""I mean, none of us reaffy have any.. affendages. It should work if we just touch-""<br/><br/>Hex's sentence was interrupted as a bright white flash filled the air, illuminating the damp, darkened cave for a brief moment. It was like a camera flash, a brief sharp explosion of light. When the light dissipated, the combee and her satchel was gone. Hex had bitten down hard on the badge in an attempt to keep it hanging loosely from her mouth, but it seemed to apparently count as being touched. Hex shut her eyes tightly upon entering.. whatever connected the badge and the guild. Maybe some sort of wormhole, or vortex, if it could teleport one pokemon to another area. Or maybe it relied on the technique of an Abra's psychic. Hex learned a bit about that kind of stuff while in the hive. She wasn't sure, but the trip was quick and it took probably less than a couple of seconds.<br/><br/>""Woah. That was.. wow. Hopefully Josh and Anthony make it back."" She muttered to no one in particular. Nearby, Matt still had a gooey hand on the Emolga. When Hex reentered the guild, she could hear two voices talking. It was coming from the guildmaster's office. No one seemed to notice, or at least didn't want to disturb them. She slowly drifted to the door where they were talking. The voices talking to Arnold and Archie sounded rather familiar; however, she couldn't place a name on it. Maybe she had met the pokemon in Birchwood Forest, or maybe.. Hex peered through the crack in the door. Inside, there were two Beedrill confronting Archie and Arnold. One Beedrill simply had it's metal spikes lowered, with a piece of paper impaled one one. The other, however, had his drills out, pointing one at Arnold's stomach. Hex recognized him as the captain, Marcus. Archie was furious.<br/><br/>""-going around threatening guildmasters!"" Archie yelled, attempting to scratch at the Beedrill. ""If you lay a single nick on Arnold, I will tear you to shreds! I'll have you know I was an explorer back in the day!<br/><br/>""Really? Because we have strict orders to neutralize anyone with possession of the princess."" The Beedrill snarled. His drill spun for a moment, almost touching Arnold, before he pulled it back. Archie gasped. Arnold giggled. ""And according to our scouts, she was last seen in your possession.<i>Did you kidnap her?</i>""<br/><br/>The quiet Beedrill raised the paper attached to his drill. It was a very rough sketch of Hex, looking more like a deformed Bidoof than it did a Combee. ""Our artists aren't the best, considering they don't have hands, but.."" Marcus trailed off. ""That isn't the point! Have you seen this Combee?!"" He looked like he was just about ready to impale Arnold when the other Beedrill leaned in and whispered something. Marcus nodded grudgingly.<br/><br/>""We have better things to do with our time than interrogate some second-hand guildmaster. C'mon, Horatio. Back to the hive."" Marcus flew off angrily, Horatio following. As he threw open the door, Hex backed up. Luckily, the two didn't spot her, hiding behind the door. Before it slammed shut, she watched as Arnold and Archie walked out, talking amongst each other.<br/><br/>""I know exactly who our culprit is, don't worry, Archie."" Arnold said, rubbing his hands together. He turned to a Bidoof walking the halls. ""You! HOW DARE YOU!"" Arnold began to chase after the Bidoof, who was now running and screaming, while Archie attempted to calm him down. Hex breathed a sigh of relief. So far, she hadn't been figured out. Thank Arceus Combee didn't have hands. She looked at spot where Anthony and Josh should reappear."

I had to turn back towards the keckleon salesman for that last part, and he didn't seem very happy with me, with what he said, it wasn't hard to see why ""I'm a girl. I can't believe you thought I was a guy. Also, for hidden power, that's going to be 143 poke. We're having a sale today."" that, of course was too much for either one of us, but seemed to be just enough for both of us, that is, considering my mistake, earlier. I turned back towards Celes, and added ""Well, um, that Tm's going to be for you... would you mind helping me get it? It's kind of too expensive for me.""<i>Sheesh, what am I saying? She's going to hate me for sure, and then I won't have an actual team anymore!</i>I think as I await Celes' response. I then notice a bidoof running oddly fast for its kind, and Arnold running after him. the two passed right between Celes and I, and Arnold was shouting something with the bidoof just screaming in terror of having the guildmaster running after him.<i>Well, that was odd...</i>I think as I watch the two run out of town. Archie then catches up, shouting something about 'that's not our culprit, Arnold! Let him go, Arnold!' or something similar.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I head towards Josh's badge once he pulls it out, and decide that this wouldn't be the best time to try that, after all, if it fails, then I'll be stuck here. I touch the badge with one of my antenna, and once I do, I'm carried away with some sort of weird, bright light, and once that dissipated, I was at the guild, next to the combee, as well as Matt. ""Hey, um, miss combee... I kinda would like to know your name, I mean, we're on the same team and all, right?"" I say to the combee. Right after that, Emily flies over to us, and says ""Thanks, I don't know what would have happened if you guys never came along."" she then hands us our reward, 700 poke, which I separated into four groups of 175 poke for each of us, including Matt. I took my portion, and gave the combee her portion, and looked around for another badge before taking off again. I found one lying on the floor next to Hex, and it had the same pattern as the rest of them on our team, so I figured that it was going to lead to the same place as the rest of them did. I then headed off to my home for a moment, or, I would as soon as I got that combee's name. I couldn't leave until I knew who all of my teammates were, besides, I'm sure my mother can wait for the money for just a little bit longer... it shouldn't take too long."

The others seemed to have much better endurance than her, walking around normally, but her wings had done some insane work back in the cave.

Our first night here, so we might as well. Best of luck, Anthony."" Hex said, nodding to the team. She fluttered off, heading to the general direction of the dinner room. She didn't completely know the layout of this guild, but she had some basic ideas.<br/><br/>Hex flew past Archie and Arnold. Arnold had finally tackled the Bidoof and was demanding answers. Archie was trying to wrestle him away. ""Hey, uh.. what're you doing to that Bidoof?"" She asked, staring at the three. Using Arnold's brief moment of distraction, the Bidoof squirmed out of his grasp and scampered off. ""Aw, you set him loose!"" Arnold complained, getting to his feet. ""Now I gotta find him!"" Archie breathed a sigh of relief. ""Augh. Geez. Thanks for the help, Hex. Now I have to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't start hunting more ""royalty.""

I had no clue what kind of move it would be, as in, what type it would be for her. Hidden power was one of those weird moves that could be different depending on who was using it, and may just be a neat move for her to train. For all I know, the move could be some type that she'd normally never learn, such as the fighting type, or the dragon type which would certainly surprise the enemy when they're hit with that move. Even though I had the fewest moves out of everyone on my team, it almost seemed as though Celes had worse attacking options, after all, what would she do against a ghost without hidden power? Unfortunately, I didn't have any cash left after spending it all on that TM, but I wasn't really worried. The guild would provide the same food and bed services as it always has, and probably always will. That being said, it was probably in my best interest to move away from the guild, as their services were extended to far too many pokemon, and spread somewhat thinly as a result. I then started to head back to the guild to see if there was anything new, but not before checking back with Celes, just to make sure she was still behind me... she looked kinda... cute... wait, what the heck was I thinking? She's a teammate, and nothing more... right?<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Well, nice to meet you, Hex. I'm sure you already know that my name's Anthony."" I say to the combee, later adding ""Um, hope you don't mind if I take off for just a little bit."" I then headed out of the guild for a moment, and started to walk (if you could call it that) over to my house, with my share of the money in tow.<i>Mom will really be happy this time. I've never brought back this much money, before.</i>I think as I continue into the bad neighborhood. A normal pokemon would probably be scared stiff to even enter this part of town, but this was where I lived, and they knew me here. They also knew not to mess with me, thanks to counter. After passing a few half-built houses, a few broken-down houses, and a couple of homeless pokemon, I make it to my broken-down house. I don't even bother with the door, thing's never locked anyways because we have nothing to steal, and make my way to my mother, who was with some random salamence, this time. The salamence took one look at me and said, somewhat disgusted ""Ugh, you have kids? Yeah, I'm outta here."" he then flew off as so many of Mom's houseguests have in the past. Before she started her crying, I held out the 175 poke I had earned on this mission, and her expression changed from sadness to happiness right then and there. ""Mom, guess what? I'm finally a part of an exploration team, a real one too, with badges and everything!"" I shout, being just a little too excited about all of this. I then had a thought...<i>Oh, no... I hope nobody else followed me here. They'd kick me off the team if they knew this is where I lived.</i>that thought instantly made my excitement fade as I gained a paranoid look on my face and started checking the door, constantly."

But now one question kept going on in her head... what type of move would it be... Hopefully it would not be normal type... cause that would suck... and would make her so useless against the ghost types that she usually felt around her. She then uses the move on the ground, before seeing the ground actually trembling and striking up in the air. She stares at it.<br/>""I think.... I can use ground type move with that!"" she then says happily. Well... that beat having to use dig... more special attack things she guessed... One thing for sure... she would nto end up as a flareon in the end... And anyway, Kamina already had a fire typing surprisingly. She looked back at Spruce, smiling, all happy, and looked at him more.

I did not expect that my magnetism would end up attracting hundreds of Poke. I had about 2,236 Poke from several parties who had teleported into the large room recently. I didn't lose my cool from the intimidation, and just let the Poke orbit around me as a way of coping. Of course, as expected, nobody really believed it was accidental. So, with my analytical ability, I managed to pick out the amount of Pokes taken from certain Pokemon and return it to them. Some were honest, some weren't. Heck, even the officer in the room at the time was kind enough to pull away some unarceusly Pokemon, without even giving them cuts or injuries. Aside from bruises, but you got my point.<br/><br/>I returned 135 Poke to Kamina, left 135 Poke to myself, and gave back at least 1,500 Pokes. I had... 466 Pokes left. As frustrated as I felt, I wasn't going back to my team mates any time soon.<br/><br/>""Hey! I had 500 Pokes!""<br/><br/>""Do the math. Or better, keep track of your Pokes."" After about two more minutes, I was out of there, with Pokes of mine and Spruce's jiggling around. Two large doors to suit bigger Pokemon (which still didn't fit some, as they had to crouch) and I was in the open world.<i>Oh... I hate late afternoons. They just feel bad in general.</i>I wish I thought that to be more normal. Instead, I thought:<i>Seek El Eco yep.</i>That itself didn't make sense. A code in a code was annoying as it is, but of course I would've had Davis figure it out for me. Unfortunately, he wasn't here. So, I was figuring it myself as I bumped into occasional Pokemon, unaware of my surroundings. Perfectly normal buildings seemed unnatural in a way. ""Watch it!"" I dazily said, settling down on a chair whilst catching a Honedge's raspberry. ""Kids..."" I muttered, slightly jealous of his decorated and shining holster.<br/><br/><i>Cop Eek see Lye</i><br/><i>El poke sec eye</i><br/><i>Peck eye leose</i><br/><br/>Okay, that was fraudulent Spansih, or whatever. I just thought I had an idea from the word 'El.' ""Oh, grow up already."" I groaned, ready to repulse the annoying, dagger-sized Honedge away in five seconds.<br/><br/>""Whatcha gonna do?"" Suddenly, parent turns up in this small alley by passing through a little crowd that had followed her. Obviously, she had more decorations than the little kid. Seemed strict, as well as influential. She also had this odd notepad with... scribbles, as well as names from other Pokemon. Who did that? Teachers? Davis would point out how mainstream education died out decades ago. ""Marshall, please don't hassle the bigger boy.""<br/><br/>""Madam, I'm only... er..."" I had forgotten my age. Both 'biologically' and chronically. I lost count because I spent A LONG time in that house... ""Okay, I see why you have reason to believe I'm young. But I'm not, really!""<br/><br/>""Oh, you poor thing. I'd love to support you, but... I'm kinda busy with my son."" She wasn't joking. Both of them looking richer than me. Fancy tassels, son's holster made from refined metals... well, I got some metals that were obviously not refined. Just smelted into an alloy. Plus, they were dulling rather quickly, if not getting noticeably etched by claw marks. ""You know, he was recently born-""<br/><br/>""You can't catch me, you can't catch me!"" Urgh. His frequency of voice was getting to me, like a chainsaw... how could that filthy rich woman handle that little rascal!?<br/><br/>""I can see that. Keep a close eye on him, otherwise he's gonna cause a lot of trouble."" I said, calmly, somehow. Because something amazing was happening in my mind...<br/><br/><i>Keep close eye</i><br/><br/>""Jesus [EXPLETIVE]ing Christ!"" I quickly popped out of my seat, to the shock of the mother and son, and zoomed off towards the pair that were Celes and Spruce. Because, she was about to smack me, or berate me. Either way, I wanted to get away.<br/><br/>A simple jolt of speed was all that I required. I was at (what would be considered) a walking pace by the time I reached them."

Well, at least they seemed long and twisting to Hex. To any normal veteran of the guild, it would be easy, but with Hex's size and knowledge of it, it was like trying to navigate a labyrinth in the middle of a sandstorm. Countless pokemon were moving down and about the halls. Eager explorers talking about their latest adventures into misty dungeons, or the guild masters talking, or new recruits still trying to find the mission board. After a while of stumbling around and exploring, she found the mess hall. It was a large room with circular, wooden tables and a couple of seats at each. There was a stage by the end of the room and a small bar on the right, hosted by a Kecleon. Several banners adorned the walls. Many pokemon had already filled the cafeteria, taking up quite a bit of tables. Hex went up to the bar, and ordered something she didn't even know. Hex took a seat down at a nearby, almost empty table. In reality, she was still flying, not really sitting on the seat. There was a Bidoof sitting at it. She recognized him as the one Arnold was on a warpath for.<br/><br/>""Hey."" She said. ""Hey."" The Bidoof replied, digging into his food. That was about the extent of their conversation.<br/><br/>After a while, some Pidgey dropped off a plate with something that looked like a pile of multicolored glop. Berries? Gummis? Hex poked at it, and she could've sworn it moved. ""Oh."" Hex gusted the plate aside. ""You know, I don't think I'm hungry."" The Bidoof glanced up at her. ""More for me!"" He slid all the contents of the plate into his mouth, swallowing it all down without chewing. Hex flew off down the halls and back to Matt and Josh. ""Soooo.."" She said. ""Do you know if we get bedrooms here?"" Matt and Josh had a home, she was pretty sure. Unfortunately, she didn't think she could just pack up and head home right now, considering there were probably Beedrill combing Birchwood Forest through and through on a rampage to find her."

I say happily to Celes. Truth be told, I was more happy that she never figured out my mistake, however, the fact that she seemed to like my gift to her was pretty great, too. An almost stupid smile stayed on my face until I notice it getting kind of dark outside. The sun was setting, and I'm sure by now everyone's had dinner, already. ""Hey, um, Celes? It's getting kind of late, maybe we should head inside."" I then note, afterwards heading off towards the guild. The walk wasn't too long, but I checked to make sure that Celes was still following me back to the guild, I then notice M hurrying towards Celes and myself. ""Hey, M, we're both heading back to the guild... um, see you there, I guess?"" I say to M as soon as he gets close enough to hear me.<i>I've completed my first mission with a team. I just hope I don't mess up like everyone back in Team Wildvines thought I would.</i>I think as I walk through the open gates, my footprints already being verified by our sentry, and the gates having been opened no later than two seconds after that. Almost nobody was wandering around the guild at this time, making sure that I knew it was now nighttime. Oddly enough, however, I ended up bumping into Anthony, of all pokemon right as I started to space out for a second. ""GAH! Oh, hi there, snivy."" Anthony shouted, and then calmly said to me. ""Uh... hi? First off, call me Spruce, and secondly, what the heck are you doing here? Are you a part of a team, or something?"" Anthony then answered with ""Oh, okay Spruce. Also yes, I'm a proud member of Team Scarab... uh, you know, the one team with the combee in it."" I nod, only somewhat knowing who they were, and then just walk away, though, it almost seemed as if he had more to say, for some reason.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Only moments after handing Mom my cash, she almost killed me by hugging. ""Ack, Mom... I think that's enough. Can't... breathe..."" I say to her, though it was difficult to say, thanks to her nearly crushing me. ""Sorry, Anthony, I got a little excited to finally have some money, and it's really nice to hear that you're a part of a team, now."" she then said to me, letting me drop to the floor. Thankfully, the fall didn't even hurt, however, I had to tell her about Martin, and what he suckered me into doing. ""Mom..."" I started, a little sad that I had to tell her bad news now, after telling her such good news earlier. ""Yes, son?"" She asks as I hesitate to tell her. I eventually spit it out in one big burst. ""Martin, my so-called friend was lying to me, we weren't a part of an unofficial exploration team, we were criminals. Big, dirty, dumb criminals, and I had no idea 'cause he kept lying to me and telling me that the pokemon we were actually hurting just owed us reward money."" I then turned away from her, expecting her to scold me, but instead, she simply patted me on the head a few times and said ""It's fine, Anthony... just be careful from now on, and remember that pokemon aren't always who or what they say they are."" this cheered me up a bit, but then I noticed the time... it was getting late and everyone probably expected me to be at the guild. ""Uh, Mom, I have to go. My teammates are expecting me."" I quickly say to her. She waves goodbye as I hurry towards the guild, of course, nobody could tell that I was hurrying due to me species' low speed... of course, even if it did nothing more than get me laughs, I hurried, anyways, eventually making it there, and thankfully before dark. Once inside, I slowed down quite a bit, however, that's when someone bumped right into me. I quickly turned ""GAH! Oh, hi there, snivy."" I shouted and then said calmly to the snivy who bumped into me. I think he was that same guy who was helping me in Beach Cave... and the one who gave me that oran berry. He responded with ""Uh... hi? First off, call me Spruce, and secondly, what the heck are you doing here? Are you a part of a team, or something?"" I then answered with ""Oh, okay Spruce. Also yes, I'm a proud member of Team Scarab... uh, you know, the one team with the combee in it."" I tried to say the team name triumphantly, as if I was some sort of giant hero, but it didn't work out... nonetheless, that info seemed to fall on deaf ears as Spruce simply nodded and took off somewhere. I would have told him more, but I didn't see the point in it if he was that disinterested."

Hex said, taking a brief look around. ""Thought I just saw him on the way to the cafeteria.""<br/><br/>Nearby, Kamina was giving away his money. Apparently he didn't seem to like being payed for exploring. His heart was in the right place. His brain was a couple inches off. Several pokemon immediately flocked him, eager for some of his extra cash. Hex returned her attention to Arnold. Arnold and Archie, where were they? They could be in any one of the rooms in the guild. The guild seemed to be huge to her, and she'd learned little about it back in the hive. The extent of her knowledge was that it was large, it had a cafeteria, bedrooms, food, and a mission board. Chances are, the pair were in their office, talking about stuff. Maybe Archie was tucking Arnold in for the night.<br/><br/>""Yeah, he's probably back at the office. We can ask him there."" Hex replied, glancing toward the guildmaster's room. She could see a light shining out from the bottom. ""We can ask him there.""<br/><br/>Hearing a familiar voice, she turned back to the entrance of the guild. Anthony, Celes, and Spruce had arrived. ""Hey, Anthony."" Hex said, fluttering by him. ""We're just trying to get bedding arrangements for the team down and junk."" She turned back to the office, and flew off toward it. ""We're gonna ask Arnold and Archie where the beds are."" She explained on the way. ""If you want to tag along, you can come, or you can just sleep at your place."" Hex just hoped she wouldn't have to share her room with some other team. She couldn't imagine bunking with a Bidoof, or sleeping next to a Trubbish. Hex at the door, and attempted to knock. It was difficult without hands."

She looks around, trying to find the source, but could not see it. She shook her head. She would need to be very careful. Whatever it was... she was pretty sure it was fallowing her... She had no idea though about what that it was. She shook her head and headed to the guild, before seeing Anthony from the guild. He was speaking about being part of the guild now, in the team with the combee in it. She smiles slightly at him.<br/>""Well, it's a good thing you got a team now that is official instead of one with that creep of mudkip."" she then says, shaking her head at this. She breath deeply.<br/>""Also, careful more with the crooks and..."" she started to say, until she froze, looking deeply in the back as she saw a blur pass by at a very rapid speed.

It was slightly heavier than the other one, but he assumed that was because it was made of a different material. Besides, he'd still be able to swim just fine while carrying it.

It wasn't easy going around if you could see your own reflection in windows, which were placed in a typical orderly fashion in Arnold's guild. Or the Pokes floating around you, constantly staring at you... I would've started screaming had the lobby been more packed with Pokemon.<br/><br/>Even then, I was seemingly flickering arcs of electricity more often than usual. To myself at least, because I didn't know if the frequency had increased or not. I wished Davis never left, or never got those damned morse code messages... ""Well, to you all of course.

Like electricity. Maybe it was M? He seemed uncomfortable, if the floating magnetic ball could really feel discomfort. She couldn't really tell. Nearby, Celes was acting strangely. She was concentrating at one spot, holding her breath. Hex paused, and an antennae twitched. Yes, there was definitely something here that wasn't supposed to be here. Hex thought the situation over. She could ignore it or point it out. Whatever presence was here could be dangerous. Or she could ignore it. It could just be a passing Gastly, maybe an explorer.<br/><br/>""Do you feel that, Josh?

She really didn't want to deal with some spooky ghost around this time of night. ""We should probably be hitting the hay."" Hex began to flutter her wings rapidly. It wasn't enough to stir up a gust, of course. Just in case. The combee had a thing against the dark, or ghosts, or poison, or that type of thing. She tried to flutter ahead, in front of Arnold.

I say to M, who had my share of the money floating around him. I then take what was mine, and look back to the whole TM deal.<i>I didn't actually pay for that much of it, did I?</i>I ask myself as I hesitate to move further into the guild. After being indecisive for a few minutes, I hand over my poke to Celes, meaning that I would have paid off my portion of that TM. ""Um, you can keep that."" I say to her as I finally start heading over to my team's room... which would now actually have teammates in it, rather than that random bidoof or that vanillite in it. I was pretty happy about that, the vanillite always made the room too cold for me, and the bidoof always talked in his sleep, even shouting things while asleep, such as ""AHH! DUCK DOWN, MOLTRES IS ATTACKING!"" okay, so maybe he wasn't that loud, but when you're trying to get some sleep, shouting of any kind sounds loud enough to wake the dead... and not just the ghost-types either. Once I got there, I noticed the two already packing their bags and heading off to some other room. I waved goodbye to them as they left, and allowed me to pretty much have the room to myself for a little while. I was probably supposed to be sleeping, but for some reason, I was too excited to see my own team filling this place up. I ended up just waiting for them to enter the room and unpack whatever they don't want to keep in their bags, but more importantly, I was just too excited to not have to deal with freezing temperatures, or sleep-shouting anymore.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Hey, what about me?"" I ask when Hex asks whether Josh or Matt felt anything. I didn't, of course, but it's not a good sign of things to come when your team forgets that you're here. The others start following Arnold and Archie to our new room, and I end up following them, not wanting to stay at my own house, today. After all, that place didn't even have an actual bed for me, and I always had to sleep either on the rotten, broken floor, or in the moldy sink... both of those options were about as comfortable as they sounded, unfortunately. Heck, it wasn't uncommon for me to wake up the next day poisoned from the mold in the sink, or already tired from sleeping on the broken floor, but now I finally had an actual bed. The bed itself probably didn't look like much to anyone else, but to me, it looked like the most comfortable thing in the universe. I instantly jumped into a bed that was somewhat close to Josh's bucket, which he apparently was going to sleep in, and pretty much instantly passed out in that bed. Hopefully, I wasn't snoring, or otherwise keeping everyone else awake while I slept on what felt like a cloud to me. It was so much better than sleeping at my place, that I don't even know how I got any sleep over there anymore. That night, something amazing happened... instead of the usual nightmare, I had a dream, as in, an actual, not scary or evil dream. Things were really looking up for me."

Maybe one day she would know what the heck was actually fallowing her like that. It was really annoying. She breath deeply and then went to the team's room. She head to the bed, tired.

It was warm and pretty comfortable compared to her bed back home. She messed up the blankets and pillow, to make it a bit more of a nest. After a couple minutes of struggling about, she started to relay the events of the day over in her head. She had finally escaped the never ending cycle of her day. Hex had trekked the entire trip from Birchwood Forest to Allure Town. She had made some new friends. She had gotten to a dungeon, and leveled up for the first time in about a year. It seemed like a pretty hectic day, overall. And some big changes had been made. Now, in this dark room and this comfy bed, she began to realize just how tired she was. A wave of fatigue washed over her mind, and Hex drifted into a deep slumber. Nearby, in a different room, Hex was starting to hear some conversation before her mind slipped into a deep sleep. Some pokemon was talking about an Articuno? One of the legendary birds. And the other was apologizing about it being so cold. She chuckled before letting go."

I didn't shout at him, rather grunted in surprise as I turned only slightly. ""Wha- oh, yeah. I owed you some Pokes.""<br/><br/>My paranoia faded away, as I could see nobody was around but us. I wasn't exactly crazy enough to think my own... acquaintances, were spies.

My dream (which seemed impossible, since I never really dreamed) was pretty screwed up at this point. I was facing the back of the room, realising how most the doors were padlocked and chained, like some paranoid preacher just did an inspection. I shuddered, turning around to see... well, a Porygon. The other half of the lobby was now... er, I couldn't exactly describe it. Think of a low-resolution photo, with pixels with contrasting colours. The way he faced me was just shocking, as in he looked 2-dimensional, but ALWAYS faced me if I were to move around. Walls, ceiling and floors weren't the same, having those low-resolution photo pixels but not facing me, unlike the Porygon.<br/><br/>""Er... eh- yes."" I pretended as if I wasn't terrified. If anything, that could've caused a nightmare.<br/><br/>""My name is Visda-""<br/><br/>""OH GOD, VISTA!?"" That didn't come from me. That came from... nowhere. We both looked around frantically looking for the source of the voice, before settling our eyes on each other.<br/><br/>""...okay. How about 'Miles?' Does that sound reasonable?"" The Porygon asked. He bore a resemblance to Davis, with a scar covering his right leg - but Davis had a crack running from his back to his chest, originating from a circular wound on his back.<br/><br/>""Get to the point. I don't need a name, because I already know that's just a shoddy anagram for 'Davis.' This dream's covering what happened in the last 30 mi- God damn it."" I couldn't spoil my dream any further. This was a memory I was reenacting (plus a dream), and anymore distractions from what possibly occurred would damage the reliability of my memory/dream.<br/><br/>""Huh? Whatever. I came here to protect-"" He suddenly beeped, as if activating a censor. ""-because of your outburst. You knew he was here. He was supposed to be with ME!""<br/><br/>""God damn it."" I muttered, getting sunlight into my eye. Someone forgot to close the curtains again, apparently leaving it open to gaze at stars. ""I wonder what the hell was all that for. Wiping my memory and making little sense."" I said, rather quietly before rolling onto my back."

Hex's eyes fluttered open, and she drowsily picked herself up off of her bed. Her mind was, for the most part, still asleep. Hopefully she didn't wake up too late. Mom always made her give a speech to the masses if she woke up late. Better head off to breakfast and talk with the Beedrill, she had a whole new day- wait. Never mind. She'd almost forgotten. Hex sighed, and gave a wide yawn, and slowly began to drift out of the door. Josh and Matt weren't in their beds, so they woke up relatively early in the morning. She always hated waking up early. Her mother forced her to do it, because a ""princess"" was always waking up early and always being polite and never using the shortened forms of words. Hex pushed open the wooden door with a gust, and flew through it.<br/><br/>""Hey. 'Mornin."" She greeted Josh and Matt with a small nod. Nearby, there was the same Eevee from the dungeon. Blue scarf, pale fur. A bit odd looking for an Eevee, but she shrugged it off. ""Heya."" She greeted Celes. Hex began to flutter down the hall, heading to the main room where the mission and outlaw board. There was nothing like a good mission to warm you up in the morning. She could definitely use some practice. Hex paused, hearing voices, and ducked back into the corridor. Arnold and Archie were talking the main room. She eavesdropped for a second. They were talking about a kidnapping.. And the same poor Bidoof as before had been chased by Arnold. Something about an Eevee with a light blue sc - An Eevee with a light blue scarf?<br/><br/>Hex turned back to Celes. She didn't see any other Eevees hanging around with light blue scarves. Celes had taken hers off, but Hex could see it in her paw. ""Err.. Celes?"" She fluttered over to the Eevee. ""Arnold and Archie are looking for some Eevee with a light blue scarf. Do you think that's you?"" The situation seemed oddly familiar. Arnold and Archie had chased around the Bidoof for thinking that it was involved in the kidnapping of an Eevee. Maybe Celes was in the same boat as Hex. Running from home, and being tracked down by someone. She waited for an answer."

I..."" shes says, before looking around.<br/>""Please just don't tell anyone... I don't want to be force back and go back with the whole 'you must evolve!' problem..."" Celes then says, worried. She was shaking a bit remembering.<br/>""Please don't tell them..."" she then says worried like heck. She hoped that Hex would not go and tell anyone, cause her parents would then not stop trying to get her and she wold probably never hear the end of it. She looks at Hex.<br/>""The number of burns, wet fur, shocks and other things I got from people trying to make me evolve by showing their powers.... it was too much."" she then says."

I then overheard something about an eevee with a blue scarf, and assumed that they were looking for Celes, but I was certain that she wasn't an outlaw like Anthony was, so I approached her, and noticed an odd birthmark on her neck. The birthmark was of a sun, and I assumed that whoever was looking for her would instantly recognize her from that mark. ""So... looks like you're going to need another scarf, huh?"" I ask Celes. I then summon up some vines as if I was going to use the move vine whip, and, after tying about three of them together, I hand the mass of vines to Celes, whispering ""By the way, I saw that birthmark... oh, and, I kinda know that someone's looking for you."" of course, I still wanted her here, with us, and it seemed as though she wanted to be here as well. I head towards the outlaw board, and notice Arnold tying that bidoof to a chair. ""How many times to I have to tell you that I didn't kidnap anyone!? I'm starting to think that you fellas don't want me around, anymore."" the bidoof shouted, and then said to Arnold, who then said ""Which is just what a kidnapper would say to try to make sure that he gets away!"" Archie was just mumbling to himself by now, his face covered by his left wing. Archie simply walked away from the whole situation, apparently not wanting to take part in it, anymore.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I finally got excited enough about the next day to break from my deep slumber and finish off my wonderful dreams to finally wake up. ""Another day, another adventure!"" I said with enthusiasm once my eyes were finally open. Unfortunately, it seemed as though I was talking to myself, which kind of embarrassed me for a moment.<i>Uh... whoops... well, that's not a great way to start things off.. maybe tomorrow I'll wake up sooner, or something.</i>I think as I head out of my room. I noticed Hex fluttering nearby that eevee... no, wait, um, Celes, and head over to join them. Apparently, Arnold was now interrogating that bidoof from yesterday, but this time, the poor guy was already mad at him about it. I kinda ignored that, and asked ""So, what do you want to do, next, team leader?"" to Hex, who may or may not know that I still regard her as the leader. Josh can't be the leader, he's stuck in a bucket, and Matt can't be the leader, he's only there to hold the bucket and will probably leave once Josh figures out how to move without the need for a bucket. I, of course, can't be the leader because I was once an outlaw, and was the last one to join the team so far. I then turned my attention back towards the bidoof and Arnold. Archie didn't even seem to want to involve himself with this, as he was walking over towards the kitchen, which only served to remind me how hungry I already was. I figured that we would head off for some mission or another after we get something to eat. The smell from the kitchen was already too much for me to resist stopping by to get breakfast, but Spruce didn't seem to care, and was apparently absentmindedly heading over to the mission board, which means that he'd probably get the good missions before we do."

After confirming that there was in fact no one in striking distance who wanted him dead, he allowed himself to relax (well...relaxed for Kamina. The dude's pretty high strung by default, but in a more functional way). Ready to seize the day with his little itty bitty fishy fins, he splashed over the main room, where he found Celes and the Combee who's name he hadn't learned yet. That's when he heard about the kidnapped Eevee, one with a light blue scarf. Splashing his body so that he was facing Celes, he teared up a bit and said ""Celes, I had no idea...all this time and I had no idea; to think that you came all this way to look for your kidnapped kin, even joining a guild to broaden your list of contacts. When we first met, I could just sense that inside your body lied a kindred spirit, one with a goal so vital that it consumed your very life. I had no idea how right I was.""

Spruce really did help her a lot of times these past days, and she really did not want to leave either. She looks at Kamina.<br/>""It's not my sibbling that is gone...I did not come here for that... I... I came here to have a adventure... but some people don't want me to live my life like I want to."" she then says sadly. She looks at Spruce.<br/>""Thank you so much Spruce... and I will need to find a new scarf... or else this might be really harder to hide."" she says. She then went and looked at the mission board, with Arnold going and actually putting a missing poster about a eevee with a light blue scarf on it... with a reward of 500 poke! Oh god.. there goes some of the expense of her family. Seriously, could they not just leave her alone and let her live her life? it was embarrassing. She wanted to find her own path... not end up being something that one of her siblings were. She looks back at Spruce and the others.<br/>""Please... don't...."" she says begging a bit."

Hex replied, fluttering in the air. ""I know how that feels, to be constantly surrounded and pushed around. All too well, actually.""<br/><br/>She didn't really go much further than that. Hex didn't really feel anyone was suspicious. Thank Arceus that her scouts were awful drawers, or Arnold and Archie would track her down immediately. Nearby, Arnold was actually yelling into the Bidoof's face. He had gone from good cop to bad cop on a matter of minutes. He seemed genuinely angry, and the Bidoof was still trying to struggle away. ""WHERE IS SHE?!"" He roared, his voice a deep growl. ""WHERE ARE THEY?!"" So, Arnold was more crazy than Hex thought, or he was really getting into character. Hex fluttered down to Anthony's level, noticing how he had just woken up.<br/><br/>""Hey Anthony."" She replied, looking at the small, gooey blob of white. ""You know, I don't have many plans for today. Maybe head over to a new mystery dungeon. Didn't really study the mission board."" She glanced back behind her. The pink, dopey pokemon had become snarling and angry in a matter of seconds. Luckily, Arnold had grabbed the chair and was beginning to drag the Bidoof into his office for more ""interrogation"" in private. Hex began to flutter out, still retaining the conversation with Anthony. ""Maybe we'll go to a new dungeon."" She began to examine the mission board once again."

He took one of them off.<br/><br/><i>I found some pretty shady folks in a camp down in Crystal Chasm.

That was weird, why did I smile like that?<i>Maybe I should focus on getting a mission... ugh, why am I always so tired in the morning? Some of the other pokemon don't have a problem with this.</i>I think as I look over the board with a glazed look in my eyes. One of the missions jumps out at me, apparently there was treasure hidden in Foggy Plains, and this Gregory guy knows exactly where to find it... he just needs a capable team of explorers, most likely us, to help him out. I wake up a little bit, and tear the mission statement right off of the board. I then run back to my team and say ""Guys, I've got a mission, let's go!"" After that, the smell of breakfast hits me like a truck, but, I figured I could skip that today, after all, what was the worst that could happen, right? We'll be a five-pokemon exploration team for a little while, so I could probably just go on without breakfast.<i>I just hope my team doesn't hate when I get hungry during the exploration...</i>I then think as I still hold up the paper, which, now that I look at it, had a little map pointing out the location of Foggy Plains to anyone who, well, took the mission. On the front, it said...<br/>~~~<br/>Attention, explorers!<br/>I, Gregory, have finally found the location of the famous treasure that was apparently<br/>hidden in Foggy Plains for generations. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that<br/>treasure might be, but from the tales that my dad used to tell me, it's going to be a<br/>good one! The only problem is.... I'm not tough enough to get through this place on<br/>my own.

I finish the apple that I brought to the boards with me, and try to pick out anything that would make me not want to go.<i>Hm... new area, that's nice, putting an end to these shady folk, that'll work, and, hm... reward... oh, here it is, 400 poke. Not bad.</i>I think as I read the mission statement. I then say ""Yeah, let's do that one! Um, I like that mission, I mean."" I tried to hold in my enthusiasm, but it didn't work all too well. Of course, that could have been just because I always felt much more awake and energetic early in the morning for some reason. Apparently, it was unusual for a pokemon to be so ready to go in the morning, after all, Spruce looks like he just left a graveyard rather than a nice, comfy bed with those glazed-over eyes. Thankfully, just before things got too weird, he perked up and ran back with a mission in his leafy hands. ""So, are we leaving now, or are you guys going to have breakfast, first?"" I ask the rest of my team, who were all gathered around the board. I then notice a bellsprout, a slugma, and a ponyta somehow climb down to the mission area. The poor bellsprout seemed nervous about something, and the trio seemed to be some sort of exploration team... strangely enough, however, it seemed as though the bellsprout was the leader... weird."

Well... last night she had gathered more of her food portions and had them ready for later on. She looks at Spruce calmly.<br/>""Well... I guess we could do that mission. And seeing treasure might actually be really fun. I am in!"" she then says happy. She then goes near Spruce, ready to leave. What would thy find? Gold? Poke? A infinite supply of gummies? She did not know, but she could not wait to see what they would find. It might end up very nice.

A leader? That was new. Most of the ones she had encountered had no spine, no shadow. They were cowards, and.. Hex shook herself out of it.

Sure, a message was sent, but then erasing it would've been pretty stupid.<br/><br/>""Hmmm...?"" I slowly floated upwards, attracting bits of lint. Like many others in the room, I had heard some rather damaging rumours. I wasn't tired; rather, I wasn't used to the concept of sleep. Someone forced me into bed. I felt nauseated when echoes of voices talking about scarves and disappearing Pokemon began ringing in my head. Then it struck to me like last night - I had a concussion. Heh; the last time I had a concussion was when I was barged into a tree, when floating upwards to reach a seemingly-glowing Sitrus berry. I wearyingly managed to hover out the room, forcing off lint and some fur.<i>Fur? What the...?</i>I was shocked to find fur on myself. No, I wasn't growing any. Rather, someone had slept on my bed while I was getting bashed in my head. Upon close inspection, the colours of red and dark brown had reflected in the sunlight edging off my magnets. ""I suppose some people are that desperate for a place to sleep."" I came to a shoddy conclusion that I knew was wrong. Yet, what could I do about it? Was I assaulted in bed by a Pokemon with fur? That conclusion was the best one, and it also happened to suit myself.<br/><br/>""Eh... my head."" I muttered, dragging myself from the once-crowded corridors of Arnold's guild. ""Morning."" It often annoyed me how just one word was acceptable for greetings. I expected more effort going in their acknowledgement of others.

Surely nobody would want to miss out on this, not with the possibility of a long-forgotten treasure in a place that didn't seem like it had pokemon that were too tough for us to handle. That was when I overheard M saying something about Celes turning herself in... or something similar, ""Celes isn't turning herself in, she should be able to choose her own future, and, uh, she's a vital part of the team by now."" I say in response to what M was ranting about. Oddly enough, I didn't have any memories of exploring this place with Vine, though, he did tend to leave me out of his explorations after a while, this didn't seem like the kind of place he wouldn't take me to. After following the map and hardly looking up from it, I finally reach my destination, or, no, wait, I got lost, somewhere and ended up on the opposite side of Arnold's Guild. ""Uh... whoops... is there anyone here that's good with maps?"" I ask my team, somewhat embarrassed that I led us in some sort of giant circle. I turn back to see my team and notice Celes wearing that vine scarf I kinda made for her, and decide to try to not smile... this time, it actually worked, though, the expression I WAS making to cover up my smile was probably hilarious, and not an actual expression.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Hex flew off to try to help the bellsprout, and Josh wasn't being very responsive for some reason, so I had to sit and wait as the bellsprout said something along the lines of ""W-well... I'm supposed to be the leader, right? Well, I'd just like to have a team where I don't have to run for cover every time one of my teammates attacks. I feel like such a coward, and you probably think I'm a coward, huh?"" of course, I wasn't paying much attention, and that bellsprout could have said anything, but that SEEMED to be what he was saying.<i>I guess not everyone can be fearless, like me... ah, what am I thinking? That's stupid, I mean, I am afraid of spinarak... oh, and its evolution. Well, those and seviper, possibly even ekans and its evolution, too... heck, even espurr gives me the creeps.</i>I think, getting completely off-topic for a while and somehow ending up listing all of my fears in my head. I had almost forgotten what my original thought was, but, it did keep me busy. I then notice Spruce take off somewhere, obviously on his own mission, which I'd rather be on than just standing around at the guild and probably make a mess of the place just due to the fact that I'm a very slimy pokemon. Of course, their cleaning standards can't be that high, they have a grimer as a fellow apprentice of the guild, though, the do tend to keep him outside, with the rest of his team, a trubbish and a koffing. Of course, that doesn't mean that they are never inside, they're just not in here as often as myself, Spruce, or our teams."

Hex chuckled nervously. ""Noooooooo..?""<br/><br/>She briefly turned back to Anthony, Josh, and Matt. This was getting a bit awkward. The Bellsprout had knew exactly what she thought, so it must've been picked on a lot. She turned to the other two members of the Bellsprout's team, a Ponyta and a Slugma. Two fire types and a grass type on one team? That was new. Must've been pretty intimidating for the ""leader"" if his teammates could easily knock him out whenever they wanted.<br/><br/>""You know, I'm sure you're not that cowardly."" Hex said, trying to soften the blow. ""If you were bold enough to get into the explorers, you're not at all cowardly.""<br/><br/>Well, he might still be cowardly. Arnold let anyone in. But Hex was sure that the Bellsprout could just use some.. work around the edges. Maybe mix in some boldness with that fear he was always feeling. If this Bellsprout kept going like this, always hiding behind his teammates, she doubted he would really get anywhere in the explorers, or he or his teammates could get seriously hurt. And she didn't at all want or need that.<br/><br/>""So, you want new teammates?"" Hex asked, glancing between them. ""Or you want to learn how to work with your current ones?"""

She did not know... Was it... No... Probably not.<br/>""Well... I could try..."" she then says before going and looking at the map, thinking.<br/>""Lets see... We should go west from here, continue on, try to find the road. Also, with the whole fog thing, we might want to be careful. We would probably end up lost or seperated.

""You can either continue hiding from them and risk everyone's life, or you could confront the authorities yourself and inform of your reasoning to run away.""<br/><br/>My headache must have gotten to me. I didn't know how we managed to get into the Foggy Plains without outside support. This place was notorious for getting Pokemon off-track, whilst endangering their lives at the same time. ""Alright, please don't speak too loudly unless you want me to die from a headache."" I moaned. I silently leered at the landscape, trying to keep an eye out for any hostile Pokemon.<i>So far, so-</i><br/><br/>""Please! I have a headache."" I shot up into the air before returning to eye-level with the others. ""The frequency of your voice now sounds like a chess grater."" Then, they mentioned a map. ""Give me. Chances are, nobody taught you about geography. That's why only a few people can read maps nowadays."" I muttered rather loudly, shooing off a little cloud of mist and letting an arc of electricity off as a result. ""Damn moisture. I might electrocute people, because water is a conductor. Air is a insulator, but of course it can also be a conductor if there's enough voltage."" I spoke keeping my eye on the map and fearing that I'd get attacked soon. After all, I wasn't keeping an eye out, and I swore I saw something shifting around a tree. ""In this case; it's a combination of the two, otherwise there wouldn't be fog present.""<br/><br/>""...I can't use this bloody map. There's no latitude or longitude, and we don't even have a compass with us. Whatever happened to the art of geography..."" I sighed, handing back the map and analysing-<br/><br/>I snatched it back from someone's hands, possibly back from the air. ""Wait... if I'm correct, we're about two minutes into the plains. Assuming we were going straight the whole time... we should be lost. Of course, the track started bending twenty seconds ago, so... just go up the little hill and we'll be at the heart of the plains."" I rubbed my eye from the strain of staring at the map. ""I'm only saying this, because the track itself is stated to run through the center of the plains; we went into a full circle and ended up back on this admittedly obscure track."""

A gible's shape could be just barely seen through the fog, and I, probably stupidly, headed towards it. The figure noticed me and ran towards me, revealing that I was right in assuming he was a gible. ""Oh, so, you're the exploration team that's going to help me out with this?"" He asked me, with a hint of disappointment in his voice. ""Uh, yeah... you don't sound too happy about that."" I say to the Gible, who I'm guessing was Gregory, the one who sent that mission statement to the guilds. ""Of course I don't, you don't exactly look tough, and there's only one of you."" He responded, somewhat matter-of-factly. I then start heading back to my team, with Gregory following, though, he complained that we were going the wrong way until he saw the other three teammates. ""Well, at least there's more of you. We should be good to go now, so, let's go."" He then said as soon as he saw them. Of course, I didn't know my way around this place, but, I had to be in front if Gregory was too weak for this area. I ran out in front, and explained ""Look, we're kinda supposed to protect you from harm... kinda hard to do that if you're out in front of us, right?"" he nodded, and took his place behind me. I was hoping that Celes would be behind him, and M would go in front of me because, well, we can't have him behind all of us just in case we get attacked from behind, and I can't really lead anyone in a place like this. I simply stood there, waiting for my teammates to take their places, which seemed to annoy Gregory a little.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Well, maybe they don't actually know what these shady pokemon look like, or something."" I said to Matt, who was one of two who actually was doing something related to the mission, and therefore, was doing anything that held my interest at the time. The two then head over to that other exploration team, leaving me alone to be bored again. I could almost swear that the sun was going to set before we actually got to do anything today, but, if this was what our leader wanted to do, then I'll just have to deal with it. ""Well... these two are loyal, and would probably be pretty sad to have to leave my team, so, I'd like to keep them on the team."" I heard the bellsprout quietly say to Hex, who seemed more concerned with that team than with her own at the time.<i>Maybe I should head out on my own, I mean, what could possibly go wrong, it's just another mystery dungeon, right?</i>I think as I look around for someone to kinda take my place. I find that bidoof who Arnold was yelling at earlier, and take off my helmet, putting it on him, and whispering ""if anyone asks, just tell them that I'm trying the mission on my own."" He almost blows it by asking something, but I cover his mouth before anyone could hear, and head off towards the cave. The outside felt somewhat colder without my helmet on, and it just didn't really feel right without it, but I had to do what I had to do... I mean, this mission wasn't going to complete itself, and those four would probably just talk forever, which was quickly wearing away at my patience, granted, I didn't have a lot of patience, but still... I had to do something about this, right? I could probably find my way to this cave, thanks to the map that was nicely drawn on the back of the mission statement... the cave in question seemed to be south from here. Easy enough, right?"

I wasn't attacked, but the main issue was actually looking out for hostile Pokemon. I was supposed to be protecting our VIP (Very Important Pokemon) after all. Not only that, but this was another mystery dungeon; they wouldn't use the words 'mystery' and 'dungeon' just to give it a cool buzz. ""Say, who exactly named these places?"" I asked, taking my eye off Celes and flickering my field of vision horizontally. I wanted a different topic to talk about, especially as Celes' problem wasn't exactly for me to criticise about.

To none more so than Kiera Shannon, whose lofty gaze stared far over most of Allure's residents and even some of its buildings. The Aurorus had wisdom enough to know that the building would become even more distinct in her vision now that her youngest son had chosen to make it his home. For a few seconds she simply stood in the sun, the wagon and masonry forgotten, attempting to divine the future.<i>Yes, perhaps he may have chosen a teacher less worthy. Or a goal less noble. That's not why I am discontent.</i>The wagon lurched, and Kiera was on her way again.<br/><br/>Some measure of her discomfort was that of any parent watching her child moving away. She had seen the process happen four times already in her other sons, but Carrol was not the same. Carrol had started earlier, taking his time, using others as steps, from Kiera and Aiden to Aloais to Arnold. His father passed on not long after Carrol began catching the interest of Alaois, and Kiera had been too passive to take him further on her own. Alaois let himself die after Etna's tragedy. Now Arnold would become the new master/obsession, but Kiera did not know Arnold beyond hearsay. Knowing that she had no real power over Carrol's destiny anymore was deeply unsettling.<br/><br/>Then there was the question of whether Carrol would<i>ever</i>find his final stepping stone. The Shannon's assumption had been that Carrol would start behaving like a leader once he matured and Alaois passed on, but now, evil seeds of doubt had sprouted in Kiera. The elder's death had interrupted his development, of course, but he had made no sign of moving on by himself... Or wanting to. Perhaps they had been wrong about his abilities, and Carrol would refuse to ever move out of the shadow of others. Kiera had no response to that idea.<br/><br/><i>He'll find his way.</i>The mother tried to feel the warmth of the day, the joy of community, but thoughts are not always comforting.<i>Oh, Carrol. Find the right way. Please.</i>Singing a quiet hymn to Articuno, Kiera continued to the build site praying for guidance.<br/><br/>* * *<br/><br/>Carrol Shannon had never winced from, nor had he ever reveled in sunlight. The sun was where Pokémon worked, played, argued, where the rituals of interaction were strongest. In a settlement like this, sunlight was a way of life. Shannon's experience did not tell him he had a love for it.<br/><br/>Carrol didn't tire on the road from the Shannon's home on the outskirts. Allure was not large enough for that yet, and Shannon was grateful. To approach with much poise and energy was the idea. Shannon did not pause and collect himself before he tapped on the guild's entrance with his forehead; There had been time enough for that earlier. ""You said to come a later time."" He held his head high, his voice even. ""The sun is up and others left already. I shan't delay much longer."" The door swung, and Shannon nodded, moving inside. The guild's interior, on this floor at least, was bustling. Bands of Explorers, some rather curiously composed, milled about what looked like glorified notice boards. Badges glinted and conversation was engaged. An active environment, yes, though likely not the final destination for a newcomer.<br/><br/>""Wait right here, uh... Shannon. With luck you'll get a chance to check the place out soon enough."" Shannon nodded, looking around keenly nevertheless. The guild's levels were divided by a stairway, to his relief. To hear that Wally's guild relied on a ladder had not been pleasing to the Amaura. His awareness remained keen until Shannon's mind finally projected an image of Arnold, be the Audino intimidating, welcoming, or authoritative, onto the steps, coming to inspect the newbie. The reality of the impending meeting intensified his anticipation.<i>Soon. Yes.</i>Shannon was silent, expecting to be impressed."

""Well, maybe you could get a couple more pokemon on your team? Like, a water type? Then maybe you could actually be stronger then somebody on your team."" Hex suggested, looking over their team. ""So, you guys coming back from a mission?"" The young combee paused. A mission.. wait, wasn't she on a mission? Oh, right! She had a mission! Hex turned back to the team. She didn't want to go ahead and just abandon them, as she suddenly dropped the conversation with the Bellsprout. Josh and Matt were right there. And over there, still by the mission board, was Anthony. Anthony? Anthony didn't look right. The helmet seemed to be over his entire body, and he seemed chubbier.. and browner. Hex fluttered over to the pseudo-Anthony, ducking through and beside larger and stronger pokemon. She fluttered down beside the helmet. And under it was a Bidoof. ""You?"" She asked, recognizing the Bidoof who seemed to be the butt-monkey for the entire guild. ""Why are you here? Do you know where Anthony is? Why are you wearing his helmet?"" Hex glanced around. The gooey, amorphous white blob of slime was no where to be seen. The little Goomy had seemed rambunctious to go on a mission and redeem himself since they had arrived at the guild. ""Your Goomy friend is going off on the mission alone, but-"" Hex ignored the rest. She didn't want to lose her first new teammate the day after she got him. Hex fluttered back over to her team and the other team. ""I think we should probably go."" She said. ""Pretty sure Anthony is going out there to get himself killed."""

I state to M as I follow behind him, hoping that he can find his way through this horribly thick fog. From the fog, another figure approached me and my team. This one seemed to be feline, as if it were a meowth, but, on all fours... as I was trying to figure out what it was, the thing attacks me using sucker punch, forcing me back a few feet. ""Ow! Great, the locals can see through the fog... just what we needed, huh?"" I say jokingly to my team as I look around for my assailant. Unfortunately, I couldn't find him or her, and I just knew that another attack was heading our way. Thankfully, this time, because I saw it coming, I was able to counter the attempted scratch with vine whip, sending the pokemon that I just identified as a purrloin back into the oppressive fog. Sure, the thing was back in the fog, but at least now I knew what to expect from it. ""Okay, um, it seems like we're going to have to somehow attack only while our enemy is attacking."" I say to my team, including Gregory, after all, he could prove to be helpful in this at some point. The thing attacked again, trying to use scratch on Celes, and for some reason, I felt compelled to throw myself in the way of that attack, and take the attack, myself. The attack didn't hurt too badly, and the thing was still out in the open where I could see it, ready for Celes to attack it back.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>After a somewhat long hike away from Allure Town, I finally come across the cave in question. The place was actually very bright for a cave, and had several different types of glowing crystals covering it. It was a sight to behold as the crystal's light bounced off of the clear, mirror-like floors and seemed to dance around in front of me.<i>Wow... I think I've got a new favorite cave!</i>I think as I hesitate to continue forwards, awe-struck by the sight of this place. Unfortunately, the stunning lights hid something else, enemies. In this case, a roggenrolla, who seemed to take advantage of the fact that I was stunned to attack me with tackle, forcing me back outside of the cave. That knocked me back to my senses, and I ended up using absorb on the rock... who didn't seem to even really notice.<i>Am I really that weak? I thought I was pretty good at using absorb...</i>I thought as I prepared to dodge the next attack, probably another tackle, from the roggenrolla. I wasn't fast enough to dodge, unfortunately, though I did go through the right movements to do so, I just wasn't able to perform those movements quickly enough to dodge the thing's attack. Another absorb, and thankfully, some healing from that and the thing seemed to be in pain. I took yet another tackle, and finished the thing off with a final absorb... though, I wasn't in the best shape to continue on, yet, and was forced to wait near the entrance to the cave to try to rest up before I actually get anywhere. Of course, it wasn't too hard to wait here, with all the lights and crystals, this cave was certainly something else."

Shannon's mind easily recognized the habit forcing that last statement. Archibald swept it into his speech like dust before a broom. It was a meaningless phrase. ""Mm-hm. Yes, you'll need to read this; It's the same garbage that every new recruit needs thrown at them to make sure they understand what they're getting into."" <br/><br/>Rustle rustle.

The room's empty size was quickly filled by the silent noise of Archibald's brain calculating furiously. ""...Yes, that'll do, but we've not a moment to lose!"" The immersion was broken, and the Archen suddenly worked with frantic efficiency. Paper and miscellaneous objects seemed to materialise out of nowhere, but Shannon saw drawers resting suddenly open. <br/><br/>""Just sign here,"" Archibald's voice fired again, yet another paper appearing before Shannon, whose neck was already strained from propelling his gaze left and right in pursuit. ""And take this Treasure Bag, and... This map. And this. And this. There's a new team of presumably about your skill level currently travelling to... This place... Crystal Chasm."" Shannon had yet to hear the Archen draw breath until now. The aura of the room had changed from hectic to... Personal. ""Take this as a challenge, and an alternative to all these papers and pep talks. You will go to Crystal Chasm, catch up to the Combee, Hex, and her band. You will act as a productive member of Team Scarab... And I will streamline your application. You won't receive any hazing or needless initiation ritual from me, ever."" Another breath. ""Are we agreed, Monsieur Carrol Shannon?""</i><br/><br/>* * *<br/><br/>Reenacting the scene in his head, Shannon felt a little more positive about it. His initiation would be practical, and swift, if perhaps more challenging. And besides, this way he would appear more presentable to Arnold, when they finally met. He could wait. As the next hour passed, the Amaura's feet and focus returned to the ground, which was increasingly littered with rough gravel composed of low-grade quartzes. That was encouraging, considering his destination. Shannon had started to hum easily. The map wasn't optimal for navigation, but Shannon was long used to navigating by landmarks and heavens, as Alaois had taught him, so he made his turns with confidence. And the map was pretty. He liked that too.<br/><br/>A low hill with an odd colour had been surfacing the horizon. Shannon produced the map from his bag again with his mouth, compared distances, and began an oddly elephant-like gallop. If Team Scarab was still around, he was determined to catch up to them before he entered the Chasm. A collection of figures near the entrance, some engaged in vigorous activity of some kind, came into view. He sounded an excited cry, slowing down when he approached them. Running was not his forte. ""Friends, hail; is this the team of Anthony?"" Shannon's bow was small and respectful. ""One Archibald from Allure sent me. My name is Carrol Shannon."" There was a little more emphasis on 'Shannon' than 'Carrol'. The Amaura stood patiently, awaiting some response. There was a Goomy present, and Shannon watched him... Realised he was bruised.<i>Did I arrive at an unpleasant time?</i>"

Celes then says, before looking at the purloin and then suddenly using a full force swift attack towards it, hoping to strike it down with this. Seriously, attacking pokemons from the fog? It made it so unfair for everyone else... and knowing it will actually hit cause of how swift worked. She continue the swift assault on the Purrloin and strike it back hard.<br/>""Spruce, you ok?"" she says, worried, looking at him.<br/>""You didn't have to take that attack for me..."" she says, looking at him a bit sad. She looked back at the purloin that had been hit hard and was trying to move away and hit them again... This time though Celes quickly send another volley of swift attack, wanting to end that thing once and for all and continue on. She knew she would be using swift a lot now. At least for this place, seeing that most other attacks for her might miss, and swift was her best bet for this.<br/>""Just warn me if you see something, I will try to target it, I think I will be able to hit it."" she then says."

I failed my duty as the guardian. Although, to be honest, it was guaranteed something would slip through. I quickly took my eyes off Spruce's light wound and back at the Purrloin waiting to pounce again. Gregory seemed to be contemplating how to attack, hiding behind Celes while I was about a meter away from everyone else. Meanwhile, I was trying to make sure that would be only Pokemon assaulting us at the moment. ""Back off, you stray puss!"" I commanded, standing my ground and forming an arc between two of my magnets.<br/><br/>It was getting more frightening to stay in the fog.

Hex said, glancing around as they headed toward the new Mystery Dungeon. ""I wonder how Anthony's doing on his own.""<br/><br/>Anthony seemed pretty tough. The Goomy didn't have much of a wide move pool, but then again, neither did she. But at least she could fly to get out of trouble. Anthony, on the other hand, moved rather slowly. The only move he seemed to have absorb. Hex quickly scouted ahead, fluttering up. She looked around, scanning the trees. They were looking for a dark cave, filled with luminescent crystals and pokemon who haven't seen the light of day in ages. Hex occasionally caught a fleeting glimpse of a pokemon in the forest, but never more than a glance. She spotted a particular Amaura, galloping to the chasm, but it didn't seem like it wanted to cause trouble. Seemed rather silly, actually. The cave shouldn't have been too hard to find. She just needed to look in the right area. After several minutes of looking, she spotted the chasm. It looked to be an oddly colored hill.<br/><br/>Hex fluttered down. ""I saw it. It's just up ahead."" Hex announced, fluttering down to the group. ""It's just up ahead.""<br/><br/>Hex flew ahead, gusting away any wild pokemon that crossed the path. She had found that her gust had seemed to significantly improved over the time that she was using it, which was certainly great. Hex had never used an attack move this much before, usually only to swat away any persistent.. followers. As she arrived at the crag, she noticed two pokemon there. Anthony, thank Arceus he didn't go too deep into the cave. And there was another pokemon, too. The Amaura she had seen from earlier, gallivanting through the forest, needed to go to the Crystal Chasm too. The Amaura greeted her and Anthony. He had an.. interesting way of speaking. Reminded her a lot of her mother. ""Oh! Uh, er.."" Hex paused, thinking of one way to greet the fellow. ""Greetings! Carrol Shannon! We are indeed, Team Scarab of Allure Town."" She said, trying to out on a bold voice.<i>Great job blowing it, Hex.</i>She thought to herself."

I wasn't even thinking, yet, the words just sorta happened. After a bit of thinking, I end up regretting the fact that I said that.<i>Ugh, what was I saying? 'I wanted to take that attack!?' That just sounds dumb and scripted, or something...</i>I then think as I try to locate the purrloin. Unfortunately, I was too late to land the final blow on the cat, as Gregory had, during my whole thought process, jumped over me, and landed a dragonbreath on the thing, knocking it out before I could. ""Alright, folks, we're not getting anywhere like this and I want to see some treasure! I'm sure that magikarp of yours is in agreement, let's move it along."" Gregory then says to us, evidently feeling more confident after finishing off that purrloin. He then headed to the right of where we were facing, and I, of course, followed, later getting in front of him, just in case. ""Hey!"" Gregory shouted at me once I got in front. I simply responded with ""You asked us for help, remember? You said you weren't strong enough for this place."" my voice was strictly emotionless at this point, as I was simply trying to get my point across as to why I had to be in front of him.

Welcome to Team Scarab. Oh, and, I'm not the other girl, I'm Anthony. The other girl is Hex, our leader."" I said to the odd dinosaur-like pokemon who randomly started talking to me. The pokemon then mentioned something about someone called 'Archibald', and my only response to that was ""Well, I have no clue who this Archibald guy is, but maybe Archie knows. We'll have to ask him once we get back."" Not too long after that, the rest of the team joins us and I start to feel much better about exploring this place.<i>Going alone was a huge mistake... maybe I should try to be more patient next time.</i>I think as I prepare for a harsh scolding about how I'm too weak to be on my own and how I should wait for the team to finish what they were doing at the guild before heading off into some mystery dungeon, yet, that scolding never came, and everyone else on my team seems to somehow be referring to Carrol as a 'he'... Carrol doesn't look much like a 'he' and the name seems feminine. I even had a great-grandmother named Carrol, so, I was sure that was a girl's name. Heck, even the voice wasn't doing much to convince me that Carrol was male, though, Carrol's voice sounded very soothing, though, somewhat on the higher-pitched side of things. Of course, this could just be because he or she is very young like most of us, and hasn't developed a deep voice yet. Hex seemed mad at herself for some reason, as she introduced us as 'Team Scarab', and Josh even seemed shocked, only managing to say ""Hey there."" and ""I'm Josh, and this is Matt."" weird..."

Relieved chuckling turned back into shallow gasps for a few seconds as he listened to Team Scarab's introduction. At least now he didn't have to worry about catching up. ""How nice to make this meeting now,"" he nodded eagerly, counting up the names. Four, and himself, though the Skrelp and Reuniclus appeared to form a unit of their own. It seemed to him a neat example of teamwork, and when chance allowed he would ask about it. On other first impressions, he felt he could admire Hex Flutter's playing the leader.<i>'A new team, of presumably about your skill level.' Too soon to judge skills, but Miss Flutter seems to know what she's doing. Where did you learn? Ah, questions.</i>The Goomy, finally, struck him as... Odd. Perhaps a touch too quick to action. He had outpaced his team by a fair bit. ""With... Matt and Josh and Anthony, and Hex and Shannon too."" Shannon did not stop thinking over his words. Maybe the Goomy was a joker? Another easy chuckle seemed appropriate, and he was certainly in the mood for it. ""Alas, I'm not a girl. Our lady Flutter's still alone in that."" Shannon winked.<br/><br/>That was, in his view, enough of introductions, though this had seemed a promising meeting. The Amaura's head turned easily around to examine the entrance. Entering the hill would be quite the steep climb down, from this view, anyway. On some day, he reasoned, the hill had simply cracked open at a downwards angle, exposing the caves true. He saw the sunlight from above glittering its way into the depths of the crevasse, the quartz sparkling with reflections even in the darkness. Crystal Chasm was well named. Shannon turned back. ""I'll follow where you lead. I'm told your mission will engage with renegades. As Archibald instructs, with that I'm to assist."" And then return for examination by Arnold, and assignment to a team. Shannon recalled Anthony welcoming him to Team Scarab.<i>I wonder if I can be assigned to an existing team like this one. I like these Pokemon thusfar.</i>"

He was the leader of the team, and it was his job to actually take care of his team. She shook her head and moved forwards. Better not think about ths right now, it would only end up with her having a head ache or something. She sighed slightly. She breath deeply before continuing to fallow.<br/>""Spruce...

Light reflected off the quartz crystals, giving off the illusion that it was glittering. “Let’s go!” Hex said, beginning to flutter into the chasm. She could hear several pokemon chittering about in the dark. It was a wonderful cave. The crystals gave off an unnatural luminescence that really illuminated the dark ravine.

She stared at the darkness lying ahead. The shadowy corners of the cave that hadn’t been touched by the light. High up, on a ledge in the cavern. Two glowing gems stared at her in the darkness. However, those gems weren’t the beautiful light given off by the crystals. It was an unnatural, eerie kind of glow. It was like catching a deer in headlights.<br/><br/>“Sees me now, does she?” The Sableye crawled into the light. It had a massive grin on it’s mouth. Several glowing crystals jutted out of it’s back. The purple skin of it was a dull, pale shade of purple. His teeth were unnaturally sharp. “Stupid, fat pokemonses. You will-“ Hex stopped his speech by giving off a massive gust, blowing the little Sableye off of his perch and onto the main floor of the cave. She heard a scream, a thump, and something scampering off into the darkness of the cave. “Well.” Hex said, still frozen by the scene she had just witnessed. “I think that’s our warning to be careful in here.”"

I then remembered M saying something about continuing on and shake off that feeling of surprise, continuing on my way after that. I ended up behind the group for a little bit, but ran to catch up to them. I just hoped that nobody was getting attacked, but, unfortunately, while I was certain nobody could see it, I could see a figure in the fog heading towards the group. The figure appeared to be in the human-like egg group, and seemed to be trying to tackle Gregory, who was no longer protected from all sides thanks to me. I ran even faster just to catch up, and just before Gregory got attacked, I vine whipped the attacking tyrogue, who turned his attention towards me afterwards. I simply took my spot to help make sure Gregory wouldn't get hurt, after all, he's the client, whether he likes it or not. Unfortunately, because of this, I ended up taking a tackle or two, which meant that we'd probably want to rest for a bit after we finish this fight. ""Everyone, there's an enemy on the left side!"" I shout, just to make sure that everyone was aware that we were being attacked.

They seemed to be at young enough to only know physical attacking moves, and mawile were really only good at attacking, so I prepared myself to counter their attacks, which seemed to come almost instantly after that comment about their jaws. The one on the left let go of Matt just to take a bite out of me, which I countered afterwards, leaving the mawile with a giant bruise on his stomach. The second one seemed to back off a bit, meaning that I had to use water gun to get to it (that, and counter only works after I've been attacked.). Unfortunately, despite not being an ineffective move, water gun still didn't do too much to the mawile for some weird, unknown reason.<i>Why are my special attacks so weak? Ugh... it's probably just because I'm useless, or something.</i>I think as I recall the fact that my absorb didn't even knock out Martin in two uses. Heck, because of that weakness, we were at a standstill until everyone else pitched in to help me.<i>Well... maybe I'm not useless, I mean, I was at least as good at Martin was at fighting.</i>I then think as the first mawile tries to bite me again. I wasn't prepared to counter, this time, and ended up dodging, causing the mawile to bite into one of the giant crystals on the wall, shattering it, and having the shards rain down on friend and foe alike. Oddly enough, even the shards glowed in whatever color the crystal used to be, in this case yellow, which prompted me to pick up a few just in case we found ourselves in a darker cave than this. The second mawile headed over towards Josh, and I tried to use water gun on him to stop him, but... it didn't work, at all, and he just kept heading over to the now-immobile, possibly helpless Josh."

There was yelling, crashing, bruising in his field of hearing. The species went unrecognised by Shannon, but their form was disorientating, hard to track if one didn't know what was looked at. Each seemed to have two bodies, one a compact humanoid, the other thrashing, black, burly... Terrifying. Shannon's heart paused, and his legs followed. In fright, he took in as much as he could, steadying himself. One was running, hunched over to balance the massive alternate head. Eyes locked. The body glanced towards the ungainly newcomer.<br/><br/>Shannon had seen Josh, if briefly, out of the bucket. It was easy to judge the attacker's direction. Reacting immediately, his crests flared a sanguine glow, and his lungs emptied in a harsh bellow. The running Pokemon visibly jumped, spun towards the sound completely, its eyes widening to match the Amaura. It hissed something in a dialect Shannon didn't know. Both fighters were wary, but Shannon's opponent was wily. Twisting its bodies, the black mass opened into a maw, and a glittering mist now curled around its teeth. Shannon was momentarily enveloped by a gust of fog. It dizzied him, blurring his vision, inducing a throb in his head.<i>Your breath's not alone, windbag</i>, came an angry thought, and Shannon's lungs contracted again. Snow crystals from his frozen interior swarmed around his face, dispelling the stinging mist, then pulsed outwards.<br/><br/>The opponent tensed and shivered violently in the gust, but recovered, albeit even more cautious now, and with one arm on the ground for support. It barked something wary to its companion, who was less imposing in stature. More determined, however, and wearing more wicked fangs. The second Pokemon turned from Anthony towards Shannon, vigorously wiping frost from its body. Neither snow nor yell had changed its disposition.<i>I have never been this scared in my life until now,</i>thought Shannon mildly, unmoving but unaware of his crests discolouring to a pale yellow. Backing off now would be a poor decision."

Hex muttered, staring at the pair. ""It had to be Mawile.""<br/><br/>Mawile. They were known for their cute, bipedal appearance at the front, with little skirts and gloves. However, at the back, there was a massive, gaping maw. The frontal appearance was used to lure lovesick prey into it's massive mouth. These two seemed to be going for more of a straightforward attack, no real distraction or clever plan. One Mawile rushed forward, using it's secondary mouth to bite into Josh, throwing him into the air. It happened very quickly. Shannon rushed forward, sending forth an icy gust that damaged one, but not very much. Anthony countered an attack from one and used Water Gun on another. Hex supposed she ought to lend a hand.<br/><br/>Hex began to flutter her wings rapidly. She felt a strong, harsh wind beginning to swirl around it, a vortex of wind. Gust had become slightly stronger since she had last used it, but not by much. At least it was a bit more than blowing air and hoping that they would be a little bit pushed back. As the wings began to compact more of the surrounding air into the gust, one Mawile rushed forward surprisingly nimbly. It swung around it's second mouth, and used it's forward momentum to clip Hex. The gust was suddenly released, a swirling mass of air not formed properly. The air blew forward, and luckily pushed back the less intimidating Mawile. The second Mawile tripped on it's own feet, falling to the ground, slightly dazed.<br/><br/>""Can anyone get this one?"" Hex asked, pulling herself out of the reach of yet another deadly swing of the mouth. ""I can't really gust it without getting smacked."""

He was lying on the ground now, unable to do anything while everyone else was fighting off the Mawile. His eyes shifted over to the bucket. All of the water had been spilled out into a small puddle around it. Josh sighed. Unless they could find some sort of underground lake down here, he would have to go without water until they got back to Allure.<br/><br/>His attention shifted back to his teammates. They were all firing attacks at the Mawile, except for Matt, who was putting up Reflect and Light Screen. He tried to use Water Gun on one of the Mawile, but it was too far away. It did come close, though. If Josh could just get a little closer he'd be able to hit it. He couldn't, though. He just ended up flopping around in the same spot, barely moving at all.<br/><br/>He had another idea. If he could use his psychic powers to push himself just a few feet forward, the Mawile would be within range. It was a long shot, but what was the worst that could happen. He closed his eyes, trying to concentrate. He had to do the same thing he does to move objects, but he had to do it on himself. That was what Matt told him.<br/><br/>Surprisingly, it worked. He only moved a few inches, but he was still able to do it. He tried it again. And again. He was moving slowly, but at least he was moving. Once he got to a point where the Mawile was in range, he fired a Water Gun at it.<br/>The Mawile, who was focusing on everyone else, was caught completely off guard. The stream of water knocked it to the ground, leaving it open for more attacks."

""Whew..."" I said to the rest of my team as I turn towards Gregory, who seemed to be looking off in some direction, for some reason. I went a little bit ahead of him, and could just barely make out the shape of a circular pokemon several feet ahead of me. I needed to find out what this pokemon was, as it seemed hostile.<i>Another enemy already? Also, where the heck is M!?</i>I think as I look back and say ""Uh... you three stay there, alright? I'm going to go check out this mystery pokemon."" I then hurry towards it, the fact that I only had short-distance moves made sure that I had to get close to anything that I wanted to fight. Eventually, I got to the magnemite... wait... that was just M, wasn't it? I put away the vine whip I had summoned, and say ""Oh, it's just you, M... sorry."" At least I found him, but I still had no idea what he was doing here. I could have asked, but it didn't seem as important as guarding Gregory, which is why I ended up saying ""Alright, let's go, M. We've got a gible to guard."" I then started heading back to Gregory, who will only have two pokemon guarding him for a little bit.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I braced myself for another attack, as these mawile seemed to like using bite on me, however, the one that attacked me next used something else... an odd, pink mist found its way to me, and at first I thought it was safe, but some sort of strange material in the mist started slicing away at my skin, leaving me with almost no energy left, and no way to effectively heal. ""Agh... this was a mistake... I might not make it."" I tried to say to my team as I desperately looked through my bag in hopes of finding at least an oran berry, or something to heal myself with. Unfortunately, no such luck happened, and I had to try plan b. I faked my own fainting. It wouldn't have been as believable if I didn't have my helmet and the mawile could see my (still open) eyes. I simply made myself look like an inanimate pile of sludge to make it seem as though I've fainted, which had the mawile start focusing its attention on someone else in my party. If the normal enemies were going to be like this, then I'm not sure if we stand a chance against the boss of this area... but, we had to try, we had to at least give it a shot, we needed to help these pokemon... we just needed to train a little more than your average pokemon would have, as these mawile apparently have some sort of way of effectively attacking dragons, and were steel types, something none of us could actually hit with decent damage. I watched as the mawile made its way towards Matt, who was still working away with his reflect and light screen... if it weren't for those, I would have fainted by now. I'll have to remember to thank him when my life's not in danger."

To his relief, but fueling more disorientation, targets had already shifted. A dance had been engaged between the long-fanged Mawile and Hex, attempting to out-maneuvre the Mawile long enough to focus the moving air. A sound stole attention before he could give it to the other fay, presently being buffeted by water and yelping. The rapidity with which Shannon's situation was dismantled was enough to force a simple realisation through his daze- The Mawile were powerful, but outnumbered, perhaps even recklessly so. Two was easy enough to divide into individuals, and individuals were easy enough to overpower.<br/><br/><i>The fanged one's disruptive. Goodnight for you first, then.</i>Sails pulsed back into red, glowing fiercely as Shannon overloaded them with energy. ""Hex, make way!"" A clear but abrupt warning; Shannon didn't wait before a swirl of light flowed from his headgear. The irregular aurora broke over its target like a wave, and there was a crackle of electricity. A spasm from the Mawile's jaws, but most of its body was stunned. It regained its footing with twitchy, disconnected movements.<i>There's your upper hand, Hex Flutter. Gust to your heart's content.</i><br/><br/>Perhaps without due wisdom, Shannon turned away from the somewhat-paralyzed fairy to their other opponent. With a roll in his head, the sharp throb of the magical gas subsiding into aches and dull nausea, he considered approaching the Mawile and headbutting it while it was down, but not for long. There was a silver glint to their fangs which Shannon was growing steadily more conscious of, and in his ignorance of the species, he wasn't eager to engage one at close range. Amaura's internal cells rely mostly on ice for structure, and their porous fossil bones are frozen solid for strength, at the cost of brittleness. Their bodies are shattered by iron, not cut by it. Unmoving, Shannon inhaled softly and deeply, replenishing his snow should either Mawile need further beating from distance instead."

""You three dabbled off to focus on one Pokemon, I was left to guard Greg from 3 sides. Which somehow ended well."" I continued, sounding unpleasant.<br/><br/>""Would you cut it out, 'M?'"" To my surprise, Gregory started to talk to me. I turned from Spruce to Greg (who was behind me) to pay attention. Which I really wished I hadn't. ""Come on; we're not getting any closer to the treasure with your whinging."" I rolled my eye and added an 'urgh.' ""Look, I asked you to come along for protection, not for this nonsense. I hope I'm clear on that."" I was left twitching, which a dull headache from last night following. As much as I wanted to either to scoff, it wasn't like they'd be willing to put up with more complaints from me. I instead sighed quietly before following Greg's direction.<br/><br/><i>So much for finding Davis.</i>I groaned, in my head as I silently followed Greg's little footsteps.

She breath deeply.<br/>""Well... let's just move on. Like Gregory said, we won't find anything just by standing there idle."" she says before moving forwards, keeping a eye off everywhere, looking for anything that might attack or anything that might hurt them. Seriously, with all this fog, it was a surprise no one hit each other while doing ranged attacks or anything.

Hex called out, glancing over at the Amaura.<br/><br/>Her Mawile seemed to be half-paralyzed by the aura that Shannon had just released. It stumbled around on less-than-steady feet. There was an occasional crack of electricity and the Mawile would actually buckle, it's joints seemingly giving way. It was perfect for a gust. Hex began to flutter her wings rapidly once more. These Mawile were certainly starting to be come a pain. If they weren't dealt with soon, they could seriously jeopardize the whole mission. Already it seemed some of their teammates were badly injured. Anthony looked like a pile of slop. Josh was out of his bucket, the water spilled everywhere. Another strong gale was beginning to be formed. Her crystalline wings suddenly gave forth to a strong gust, letting loose a strengthened gust of air. The paralyzed Mawile was easily pushed back, it's limbs twitching and out of order.<br/><br/>""I think I got this one."" Hex said, watching as the paralyzed Mawile was thrown back. ""Seems pretty weak right now.""<br/><br/>The Mawile seemed to be done for. The paralyzation, the water, and the wind had to have effected it. It was off balance and cross eyed, trying to make sense of the battle. Hex stirred up another strong gust, her wings working hard. A steady flow of adrenaline seemed to be what mostly kept her wings steady. Otherwise, they would have given out a long time ago. She released another gust at the weakened Mawile, but quite a bit less thick and controlled. The gust knocked the Mawile to it's feet. She released a series of smaller gusts at the Mawile until it seemed to stop fighting. The only movement from the Mawile was the occasional twitch of it's legs or elongated mouth. Hex fluttered down, examining it. It seemed knocked out, but she didn't want to get too close for fear that it was just playing dead, and it was just waiting to snatch her up in it's fangs.<br/><br/>""This one is done."" Hex said, flying back up from the Mawile."

""One left.""<br/>The remaining Mawile was going for Matt. Once again, Matt had the Mawile's enormous jaws latched onto his arm.<br/>""I got it!"" Josh said, aiming another stream of water at the attacker. It let go of Matt's arm immediately, and turned to Josh. ""Oh no...I need some help!""<br/>He was now struggling to get away, pushing himself across the ground with his psychic powers. He was moving very slowly, though.

The fog cleared to reveal a marble altar, on top of which was a strange, grey crystal that seemed to be holding something in place, or, rather didn't seem inactive, at the very least. ""Whoa... is that a void crystal?"" Gregory asks me, to which I reply by simply shrugging as the fog around the general area dissipates, revealing a strange set of scenery. The floor under us looked as though it was made of the same material as the altar, yet didn't feel as if it was, and there were several strange trees also possibly made from this stuff. The trees came in varying sizes, and, with what they seemed to be made of, it looked as though they were made by a master sculptor rather than nature, heck, even the roots seemed unnatural, as they formed an arc above the crystal in question, which seemed to pulsate an odd, yet somehow familiar energy when I got near it. I edged closed to the crystal before I get stopped by Gregory, who shouts ""Hey! You can't take one of those! I mean, yeah, I kinda feel like I should get something from this whole adventure, but you just can't take a void crystal. If you do that, some other universe will seep through where the crystal used to be, killing all who are nearby at the time... yeah, just leave that thing where it is, okay?"" Unfortunately, I didn't listen, and continued to edge towards the crystal, drawn to it like a bug-type to a charmander's tail. Fortunately for those around me, I was stopped yet again, this time by a mysterious figure, which was revealed as an absol after she slashed at me, throwing me back towards my teammates. ""Ha!"" she gloated, later adding ""So, you're the one who's supposed to replace Vine, then?"" I shake my head, not even knowing what's going on, and she laughs an evil, cackling laugh as she continued ""Of course you are. I guess he never told you who I was... pity. I'm Desia, future ruler of this pathetic mud ball, and I'm here to destroy you, and take this crystal."" another figure still seemed hidden just outside where the fog cleared, and therefore, in the fog, however, so I was guessing she didn't come alone. I tried to get up from that one simple attack that was thrown at me, but, wow, it wasn't easy. It took a little while, but I finally got back up, only to have her use night slash on me, knocking me out right then and there. ""Don't... let her win... don't give up..."" I tried to say to the rest of my team as I struggled to maintain consciousness.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The mawile were no longer focusing on me, and one of them was already down for the count. The other didn't seem as though it could take much more, either.<i>Hey, now's my chance! Everyone already thinks I'm KO'd, so maybe I can pull off some sort of stealth attack.</i>I think as I get up from being a sludgy mess on the floor and start to head over to the mawile, who was about to attack Josh, carefully. The thing didn't even notice me as I tackled the thing, heck, I even had enough time to scope out the thing's weak spot, and I aimed right for it, resulting in a powerful attack, one that seemed to be just enough to finish off that last mawile. ""Whew... that was close, huh, guys?"" I ask the rest of the team. I then add ""We... may want to rest up for a bit, you know, to regain our energy."" that fight took a ton out of me, but, for all I know everyone else could be in perfect shape. I just hoped that they would let me rest, I mean, yeesh, I was beaten within an inch of my life back there, and only managed to come out of that fight alive due to sheer dumb luck. Of course, what lies ahead could be even worse... which just means that we should be in peak condition if we want to continue through this beautiful, yet extremely dangerous cave. I then wondered what kinds of shady pokemon would hide in here, and if we're even remotely ready to take them on in a fight. We had to be ready, even if it meant that we had to stay behind to train up our levels, heck, I'll even stay here until I'm fully evolved if that's what it would take, but... my teammates might think differently than me on that regard."

""Well, let's get pillaging."" I stupidly said, not hearing Greg's voice over the sounds of... earth being ripped up from the ground. At a fast velocity... ""By the way, what's that sound?

Hex asked, looking between her bruised up team. ""I think that we should take our chance now, while we can, while it may it be dangerous.""<br/><br/>She slowly fluttered back into the cave. ""I'll just scout ahead for a moment. I'll be back in a flash."" She announced, turning to the cave. Hex held her breath, hoped that she wouldn't snatched from the air, and flew into the cave. She made sure to stay high, far away from any hungry wild pokemon moping about in the cave. She spotted a fair couple of pokemon on her way in. There were several Geodude surrounding a glowing crystal. There was a group of Mawile, which she noted as a problem, relatively close. There was a Gible who seemed to be climbing one of the crystals. That was about the extent of her trip. There didn't seem to be many other pokemon beside that. However, the pokemon that were there were strong, and most of them could rather easily sweep the entire team, so they had to be careful. She no<br/><br/>As she began to fly back to the entrance, several pokemon around the bottom spotted her. ""There she is, the little snack."" A pokemon purred from the darkness. It's eyes glowed. The Sableye had returned. ""Take her!"" Several Geodude from the bottom made potshots of gravelly rocks at her, luckily missing due to the darkness. Some Mawile growled, their second mouths snarling and drooling, but they were much too low to really reach her. The only threat was the Sableye. The little mad pokemon had climbed onto a crystal, and was leaping gracefully from one bioluminescent quartz to another, aiming for the ones that were high and jutting out of the craggy walls. He was gaining quickly. He was beginning to be quite the annoyance. As he leaped once again, right in snatching distance of Hex, she blew up a quick, strong gust, which interrupted his little game and sent him flying back down to the bottom once again.<br/><br/>Hex came breathlessly back to the entrance. ""I think our best bet is to stick to the darkness."" She panted. ""Probably safest when they can't see us."""

He actually didn't know how long he could go without water, but besides having dirt between his scales, he was feeling fine at the moment.<br/>""Nonsense!"" Matt said. ""You may be fine now, but we need to find water as soon as possible. Aquatic Pokemon such as yourself need it to survive. ""<br/>""So, what do you guys think we should do?"" Hex asked.

Unfortunately, she noticed that I was still up, and an evil grin spread across her face, with her saying ""Well, well... seems that I've underestimated you, Spruce... but not much."" Knowing that my 'cover' was blown, I slowly and clumsily got back up. I couldn't even stand correctly, and to the uneducated, it looked as though I've had too many X-eye seeds with how much my body was swaying back and forth. Desia then took this opportunity to slash at me using some sort of weird, shadowy energy, or, perhaps she missed? Somehow, by some miracle, I took no damage from the move. Sure, I coughed up a bit of blood from Desia's previous attack, but this one didn't seem to hurt at all. Desia seemed just as confused as I was, as all she reacted with ""...Huh? D-did I somehow... miss? Gah, Quartzil! Get your lazy tail in here and attack this flea!"" This was followed immediately with ""Yes, ma'am."" and an attack from the side. The attack seemed to simply consist of Quartzil, who turned out to be a haxorus charging towards me whilst emanating that shadowy aura, meaning that it was probably similar to Desia's attack. As intimidating as it was, the attack didn't to a dang thing to me... somehow. ""Uh... miss Desia? I think we've got one of those, er, evasive pokemon."" Quartzil reacted to his attack utterly failing. I then noticed something, where those two attacks hit, my body seemed to completely lose its coloration, reverting to a grey color, meaning that I now had a grey blot on my left side, and a grey slashmark (though, non-damaging) on the front. ""Hm... Quartzil, is it possible that this freak isn't effected by our shadowy attacks?"" Desia then asked her assistant, who nodded. The two then both attacked, one with dragon rush, and the other with psycho cut... which was more than enough to knock me out. They then started to focus on the rest of my team, no longer needing to pay me any heed. Desia started with M, an evil look came to her eye as she announced ""You're next."" to him, and a shadow-enhanced slash was thrown in some sort of effort to get him to stop mocking her, while Quartzil focused on Celes, using a dragon rush on her.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Are you sure we can't wait? I'm kinda tired from that fight... fine, I'll see if I can pull through."" I said to my team once they decided on continuing onwards. Normally, I'd be all for diving head-first into danger, but, well, I was almost out of energy already. Hex then left for a while, leaving me with the weird dinosaur, the seahorse, and the jelly-thing for a little bit. None of them were very chatty during the time that she was gone, but when she came back, she came with some bad news... apparently, things were so bad up ahead that we had to use the shadows to get around.<i>Wait... I'm no good at sneaking around! Ugh... well, this is going to turn out well.</i>I think as I try to look for any kind of shadow that I could hide in. Unfortunately, there weren't any in our immediate area, with the crystals' light erasing most, if not all, of them. I was certain that this mission's reward would be worth all of this hassle, and, with enough searching, I did eventually find a shadow, though, it wasn't all that large, and would probably only fit one of us. I took my place there, and simply hoped that the others would find their own shadows to hide in. I then tried to head onwards without detection, moving slowly and carefully and occasionally moving on the walls or ceiling to evade the eyes of our enemies. I ended up passing by a group of mawile, geodude, and even a gible as I did this, thankful that none of them could attack me while I was on the ceiling... given that they were already alerted to my presence... oops."

She quickly moved back a couple of feet, luckily dodging the ferocious attack. She then attempted a swift attack... that unfortunately did not seem to do a dang freaken thing to the haxorus. He then attacked her with the same shadowy attack, hitting her hard and sending her flying straight to a tree. She fell on the floor, but still conscious. She had to not give up.... but they were so strong.... they hitted so hard.... She knew they were going to take the crystal... but what if... what if someone else were to take the crystal instead of them? She knew the concequence of that happening.... the void crystal would affect them all... but what good would it do if the actual villain gets it? Not much.... She tries to get up, but barely gets on her feet. She looks at the haxorus who was moving towards her with large stomps. She had to get away from it... She quickly used confuse ray... which luckily affected the big thing, and rushed to the side, moving to Spruce.<br/>""Spruce... wake up... please..."" she says desperately. She then hears the Haxorus hitting near her. She grabs Spruce and move him a bit farther to not get him to receive more hits, before seeing the haxorus shaking his head and then rushing towards her mad like a tauros that got his tail pulled by someone. This was gonna hurt. She quickly jumped in the air, and used her hidden power attack, seeing it not do much damage. She then got hit by a dragon claw attack, sending her flying, and making her slowly on the ground. She had to stay awake.... Too weak.... she looked at the whole group, her eyes feeling heavy. A oran berry... she had to use one... This fight was impossible.... they could not win this... they had to escape... they had to get away from those crazy maniacs.... they had to get away so next time they would be able to train up and actually affect those guys...

An unnatural psionic, then. That's... That's rare, I suppose.</i>Shannon had come off lightly from the battle, compared to the rest of the team. Ungainly proportions and a slow plod would be detrimental to scouting, though. Thus the Amaura was left to count out minutes while Team Scarab rested and congealed and awaited Hex's word. Word which wasn't especially positive when it arrived. The Combee didn't let on about having encountered any hostile native Pokemon, although... Judging by her breathing, Hex had either moved at a sprint most of the way or she had flown evasively for the last stretch.<i>Hex was just flying to make the most of the time. This cave isn't crowded, Shannon, there wouldn't have been need to do that.</i><br/><br/>The decision to sneak was prudent and logical, but Shannon's misgivings grew quickly, straining against the knowledge that there likely wasn't a better way. Dimming the auroras around a lowered face would not shrink him down to an inconspicuous size. A target was rarely comfortable. ""...A moment please."" Although the effect wasn't major, Shannon took a moment to manipulate the ice crystals on his flanks, flattening and enlarging them irregularly. Soon, the sides of his body were glazed over with a thin crust of faceted ice that glinted where the light hit them, like the quartz around him. Most of Shannon's body- Back, neck, tail and limbs- Still cast a silhouette against any glittering crystal, but there was improvement. Soon enough he was tailing the group with a steadier step, laying his head low, moving in short instances between staying hidden and motionless. Danger lurked and risk was high, and Shannon's face found a roguish grin in the dark."

Hex whispered, slowly fluttering into the cavern.<br/><br/>The wild pokemon within the craggy ravine were still snarling and snapping from her. She kept to the shadows, diving between and through various dark corners and segments. Shannon had an ingenuous disguise. The Amaura had coated himself in a layer of ice. In the shadows, he reflected off of the light given off from the crystals, appearing to be one of them on a moment's glance. She flew almost soundlessly through the darkness. One could only hear the light hum of her wings as she fluttered down the ravine. Most of the wild pokemon seemed to be less occupied with looking for her, and more occupied with Anthony, which they had seemed to found rather quickly. He sluggishly made his way down the ceiling, a steadying drip of light goo falling upon the cave floor. It had given away his position quite quickly.<br/><br/>The Mawile were attempting to snap at him, and the Gible was trying to leap up with it's massive incisors to gnaw on the blob. The Geodude were throwing rocks, but most of the missed once again. She assumed it was because they spent most of their lives in the darkness, they didn't have much experience with aim. Hex paused for a moment, gaining an idea. Quickly and quietly, she formed a gust, stirring up the wind with her wings. The air was damp and moist, so it gave way to a wet gust. Air mixed with water, and hit a nearby Geodude in the back. Almost immediately, it swung around, looking for the opponent that had just hit him. Hex crossed her nonexistent fingers, staring at the pokemon.<i>Do it, do it, do it..</i>Hex thought to herself. It began to bicker with a nearby Mawile standing behind it.<br/><br/>It was long series of grunts and hisses between the two. The bicker soon became more violent, and the pokemon began battling each other. Hex had never seen a wild pokemon battle before. Most of the fights she had seen were between two sentient pokemon, or her swarm against one measly threat. The pokemon just went at it in a no-holds barge. They Geodude picked up a rock and smashed the Mawile's second mouth. The Mawile used it's steel fangs to crack the tough rock. They attracted the attention of most of the nearby wild pokemon that were once occupied in eating Anthony. She briefly looked up to the darkness. Anthony was still moving across. This would buy them some time, but not for long. She continued moving forward at a hurried pace."

Shannon appeared to blend in with the crystals and rocks around him. He would have a much easier time sneaking around than anybody else would, without a doubt. Hex was stirring up a gust, as if she was going to attack one of the wild Pokemon.<br/>""What are you doing?"" Josh whispered. ""What happened to 'stick to the darkness'?""<br/>The gust hit a Geodude in the back of the head. It turned around, facing the Mawile behind it. The two started to battle each other, and before long more Pokemon had joined in. This gave Matt and Josh an opportunity to sneak right by them without being noticed.<br/>""This is why you're the leader, Hex."" Josh said once they were safely hidden behind a large rock."

I'm waiting. You're done beating Spruce."" I said, hiding my worries as I tried to keep my head clear. Even going as far as thinking Spruce's discolouration was normal.<br/><br/>""You should be cherishing the time you have left."" Desia responded, her voice distorted, lunging at me by the end of it and engulfing her attack with purple. If I could, I would've gulped.<br/><br/><i>Davis, you better get your ass here. 'Cause, had you not disappeared, this wouldn't have happened.</i>I thought, sadly. I stiffened myself for Desia's attack, enhanced with an unholy purple as it began rocketing downwards at me. I held my body up high with a false smirk planted on my face (not an actual smirk; just the eye expressions of one), lifting my magnets up and forming a triangle of electrical arcs.<i>Davis, you bloody idiot...</i>I thought, letting some music flow in my head as Desia struck me down.<br/><br/>Boom. Well, more of metal being torn by a pickaxe. I could feel a discharge of electricity leaping from my triangle into Desia's claws. I was knocked into the ground, where monotone bark and spiked grass met my back. Desia was shaking her claws by the end of her attack, jumping off me and ignoring the arcs on her. She cackled at me, shaking her head.. ""Argh... you want to kill me, you do it in one shot, you frickin' wuss."" I told her, feeling a etch on the right side of my face. I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt. Especially with a purple glow stained on the wound. I sighed on my side, thinking about nothing. I had managed to resist her move because of my typing, but that still did tremendous amounts of damage.<br/><br/>Desia seemed uncomfortable at this. I could tell she was mumbling something about 'corruption.' Then, she faced me as finished my sentence. ""Don't tell me how I should be murdering you. After all, it looks like your book about monsters won't have a happy ending."" She said, slyly as she began walking up to me. Desia turned me to look at her face, as she creepily grinned at me. ""Where's Davis NOW!?"" She enjoyed every moment of this, towering over me with her menacing eyes. ""You're just like him. Can't even handle a hit."" I started floating upwards, although with trouble as I met her own eyes.<br/><br/>""Did my insult really get you? You're trying to make up for it, you know."" I chuckled weakly, dazed and wiping the purple liquid off my face.<br/><br/>""What matters is that you're dead, and that I will rule even HELL by the end of this.""<br/><br/>And then, another slash covered the wound already present on me, splashing purple on the right of my face. I was knocked into a grey rock, which somehow lost colour in this setting. Desia was in a lot of contrast when compared to this place, the background not faring so well against her. I breathed weakly, coughing. Natural reaction I presume, since this wasn't required for a Magnemite. ""Woah, woah. She's going to kill me! Someone do something!"" Greg's voice contorted the background, his voice echoing... not aware pretty much everyone was incapacitated...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Death doesn't come quickly, and may sometimes not come at all. I was angry, and I was angry now. She was now going for a defenseless Greg.<br/><br/>I instantly jumped up, although with limited balance. Another swipe, and I'd be dead. But, at least I wouldn't go down as a coward. Plus, I was (probably) the strongest of the group, and I wouldn't be going down anytime soon. She was steadily heading to Greg, who had tripped on a big branch and became a sitting duck for her. Hopefully, Kamina could stall her for me to reach her, but otherwise... as I crossed the grey landscape, I knew this way wouldn't end well. Then again, which other way could end well? Like declaring 'we surrender?' ""Get back here. Hell can wait."" I shouted, showing signs of... well, dying. I was dripping a purple liquid from my wound, staining the grass with an unnatural colour.<br/><br/>If I died, at least Davis would be here to watch... because, I could see his stark eyes beaming through the fog.<i>Oh just go die, Davis. It's too late.</i>"

Whoever attacked me has obviously underestimated me I think as I continue my advance towards this... Gregory, I think they were calling him. He seemed important to Spruce's little band, as everyone was protecting him on their way here. I was then taken back, somewhat at another oddity within that strange little group, that magnemite somehow found the strength to actually get up and protect Gregory, annoying me slightly in the process. Doesn't that fool know when he's beaten!? Agh... seems like I'll just have to remind him where his place is. I think as I look around for another fool, one that was on my side. I found Quartzil off to my left, standing idly by as if he was awaiting an order from me to attack, so, I gave him one. ""Quartzil, go take care of the fish, something's not right here."" he nodded and took off towards the fish in question using dragon rush as some sort of way to ensure that he gets knocked out. Of course, with how things have been going for us lately, that fish will somehow turn out immune to Quartzil's onslaught, and then manage to fight back with that new type of attack... erm... fairy to somehow deal damage to Quartzil. I entertained the thought of a fairy fish for all of a minute before noticing something strange with that magnemite... no, it wasn't just a dedication to his team, something was influencing him somehow... or, possibly, someone. ""Tell me who or what you're hiding from me, NOW!"" I shout to the magnemite as I ready an attack just in case he doesn't want to tell me.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I was just about to get slashed at by some random gible, when Hex somehow randomly got the wild pokemon to start fighting one another. Before hurrying along, I decided to take this opportunity to use absorb and or bubble on that giant group of geodude, who seemed none the wiser due to other, more pressing matters. With the group of geodude gone, mainly from me, the mawile started fighting among themselves until a group of sableye came in. That, of course, was my cue to get the heck out of there, and after a while of not seeing any more pokemon, yet still 'running' for my life just in case that battle stops, I come across a camp of sorts with a krokorok, a dugtrio, and a gabite all sitting around some sort of campfire which apparently repelled the wild pokemon. ""Uh... we're the rescue team you guys called for?"" I say with very little confidence for some reason... well, it could have been because these three (or, rather, five) were all intimidating to me, however, that intimidation was gone when one of them said ""Thank arceus, I almost gave up on that mission. I thought we were going to be stuck here forever!"" the krokorok was the one among them who said that, and he then continued with ""Name's Leeroy, and the other camp is right across the way. You can rest up here, and heck, I'll even give you some supplies."" he then gestured towards a rock that was near the fire and I sat down... of course, I didn't wait long, and grabbed one of the bags marked 'supplies' and headed off towards this other camp... I could almost make out the shape of a tyranitar, though, that can't be right could it? Nah... just my imagination... I hope."

The number of wild pokemon appearing began to drop more and more. Occasionally she would catch a brief glimpse of a starving Sableye or rabid Mawile, but she could easily avoid them. They were usually too wrapped up in their own problems within the cavern that they didn't even pay attention to the slight hum her wings gave off as she flew. Hex hugged a high, dark corner of the chasm. Few pokemon could see her, and even fewer could reach her. It was a good spot to stay low and hide. She continued on like this for several minutes, simply hiding within the darkness. Hex stopped in her tracks. Echoing voices reverberated throughout the cave, bouncing off the walls and spiraling in her direction. Hex caught an actual, conscious conversation, not communication through hisses, grunts, and growls. That must've been the pokemon in the camp who were conversing with each other. She hurried ahead, hoping to find them soon enough. The best option for the team seemed to be getting in and out quickly before one of them got badly injured.<br/><br/>Hex eventually stumbled upon the group. They had a relatively small camp, with several cloth tents set up. Surrounding a flickering fire were three large pokemon. A Dugtrio, a Gabite, and a Krokorok stood by the fire. Hex slowly lowered herself, careful to approach the trio. ""Uh, hello?"" Hex asked, staring at the three. ""I'm Hex Flutter, from a Team Scarab. We got the mission."" The three pokemon swung around to face her. ""A second explorer! That's great!"" The Krokorok said, grinning widely. His teeth gleamed in the firelight, showing off a great set of incisors that could gnaw through steel. ""We just met your friend. Name's Leeroy. We got some supplies for you fellows."" He turned back to attend the fire, stoking it with a long stick. The orange flames flickered and glowed, a column of smoke rising from the blazes. The flames seemed to repel any of the nearby wild pokemon, who had lived their whole lives through the unnatural luminescence of the crystals. The fire must've been new to them.<br/><br/>Hex looked through a large, linen bag. There was an assortment of berries and reviver seeds. She recognized most, and quickly stuffed them into her bag. They would be handy in dealing with whatever was up ahead. ""Good luck over there."" The Gabite advised in a gristly, deep voice. ""You'll need it."" Hex glanced over at the other camp. She could see a light, flickering flame with a silhouette. It appeared to be a large, spiked pokemon. She sighed. Anything big and spiked would be a threat. She slowly fluttered off to the second camp, following a small, sluggish blob figure, Anthony."

I blinked at her as she began running up to me, ignoring Greg who was probably only a few meters away.<br/><br/>And then, like a blitzkrieg, a motorized duck-like figure had rammed into Desia, knocking her into some bumpy grass. She lay seemingly dead for a second, which allowed me to talk to the Pokemon briefly. His eyes set on mine briefly, to which I had recognised as Davis.<br/><br/>""Dav... is that really you?"" Despite the seemingly nil response given by Davis, I knew it was him. After all, he was pretty old, having caterpillar tracks on his sides. Interestingly, he also had some sort of dome and barrel on his back, to which he preferred never to talk about. A slightly torn flag always hung on his tail, which had red and white strips and white stars. He was sort of a hunchback, as well as being dusty. He never wanted to clean himself, though. Always told me about how he had a rough couple of decades. The lights on his body, tail and head seemed excessive, although he kept telling me how he found it difficult to remove them. There were cracks and chipping present on his sides, to which he seemed nervous talking about. I wouldn't know how he got all of this until much later.<br/><br/>""Nay."" He responded. I heard some clicks before realising he was... turning his dome and pointing the barrel at Desia. ""Well, I wish I wasn't.

Soon after that, Dav (you know, I just found out how lazy I got) was shrouded in smoke as a yellow and pointed projectile was propelled from his barrel and towards Desia's location, creating another explosion. I had figured out that this was what they called a 'firearm.' ""I told ya. Stay away, unless you want shrapnel in the face."" Dav slowly but clearly said. I gulped, noticing how his tracks were reaching into the ground to presumably stabilise him.<br/><br/>The next second involved Desia tackling Dav from behind. All I could do was watch as she attempted to swipe at him, failing miserably as he drove over her and... well, a Tri-Attack managed to set her on fire. Desia stumbled as she looked ready to pounce, the fire seemingly doing little to her. I had to leave to cater Celes and Spruce, although the latter first. ""Did I really have to meet you again?"" Dav asked with a sarcastic voice, treading backwards slowly as he readied his barrel at Desia once more...<br/><br/>""Spruce!"" I yelled out, calling for him. Of course, I could barely see him as his colours matched this place. Strangely enough, so did I, but that was because of the grey nature of metals. Plus, I could be still seen as I had some purple liquid dripping from my wounds. I spent a minute looking for him and watching the fight, settling on helping him when I found him lying by Greg. ""There you are! You got something in that bag of yours, right?""<br/><br/>""What bag?"" I asked, a sudden spike in shock getting to me. ""Ah crap. I don't have a bag!"" Greg covered his ears as another grey cloud covered the fierce battle between Desia and Dav.<br/><br/>""What in the name of Arceus is going on!?"" He cried out. All I could do was fetch a scratched and purple-stained bag that was knocked away from Spruce, opening it and looking through its contents for something.<br/><br/>""I can certainly say I didn't ask for this! Spruce's gone grey just because of this!"" I yelled out to the top of crackling electricity which came from the battle. I eventually just spilled out the entire bag, knocking aside Pokes (which soon started orbiting me) and... well, if my understanding of botany was right, then nothing could be done for Spruce. ""He's dead, Greg."" I said sorrowfully, looking up at Greg. ""At least until he gets up, otherwise we're gonna be dead ourselves.""<br/><br/>And then, a crater appeared by us, knocking us backwards onto the grass. ""Ah, blast it!"" I shouted, ironically - 'blast.'"

It wasn't a soft, eerie glow like the crystals. This was the definitely the light of a campfire. There was a possibility that it could be Leeroy's camp. Hex and Anthony apparently thought so, since they had already approached it. The wild Pokemon were still fighting amongst each other. It would be easy to get to the camp up ahead.<br/>The duo were able to sneak past most of the Pokemon. It was going exactly as they planned, until a Sableye noticed them. It lunged at Matt just as they had gotten close to the camp. One of the camp Pokemon - a Krokorok - hit it with Crunch. This gave Matt and Josh enough time to get away. The Sableye kept its distance after that, but still stayed near the camp, as if it wanted to attack but was repelled by the light of the fire.<br/>""That was quite a close shave there."" The Krokorok said. ""Name's Leeroy. A couple of your friend headed through here. They're going for the other camp there as we speak.""<br/>""Thanks for saving us back there."" Josh said.<br/>They managed to catch up to Hex and Anthony. Leeroy was right. That camp up did look pretty suspicious. They could see a Pokemon at the camp, and although they couldn't quite make out what it was, but it was huge. Back at the guild, Josh hoped the camp had hostile Pokemon, but now he hoped this guy was friendly. If he wasn't, this would be a tough fight."

I can thank that stupid meddling porygon for that, though. I eventually got the upper hand, with Quartzil helping me after a little while. Unfortunately for the remaining wimps, I still had some rage left over after Davis was down, and I started slashing away at anything that happened to be unlucky enough to move until whatever it was stopped moving... that is, everything that moved and wasn't Quartzil. ""Good thing that's over."" I say to Quartzil with a sigh. I then look over to my prize, the void crystal, only to notice that the altar was no longer holding the crystal.<i>What the? Who the heck stole that thing!? Agh... great, just what we needed right now.</i>I think as I check every one of our enemies... oddly enough, nobody seemed to have the thing, and worse? The void was starting to creep in through the tiny portal that was created when the void crystal was stolen. I look over to see Quartzil looking through Spruce's bag for the third time, and shout ""Quartzil, we don't have time for this, we have to leave... NOW!"" He nods and follows me away from the scene of the crime, and away from the deadliest portal to ever exist. After about thirty minutes of running, I stop and look back. It didn't seem like it would spread to this area, and I was getting kind of tired. Those kids were annoying, but, I guess they won't be bothering me anymore.<hr/>[???]<br/><br/>I watch the battle rage from my vantage point, which was on a cliff not too far from the void crystal, something that I absolutely needed. ""Should we steal it now?"" my associate, Vex, a vulpix who, like me, came from the dimension that the void crystals link to, asks. She knew that my light grey scales and lack of a tail fire would allow me to blend in and probably take the thing unnoticed, but that absol... she seemed dangerous. I had to make sure that she wasn't going to pay any attention to anything other than her fight. She ordered her draconic friend to attack a helpless magikarp and, afterwards, the oddly durable porygon. That was when I decided to go. ""Vex... I'm sure you already know, but you should stay here. The shadows will hide you well."" She protests with ""Well, what am I supposed to do, then?"" I shake my head, and say ""Always the hyper one, weren't you? Fine, prepare a means of escape for that team.... um... the Odd Ones Out, or whoever they are."" the black-furred vulpix replied with ""Um... I'm not sure if I can..."" which didn't exactly fill me with confidence of our success, however, we were certain to fail if I simply stayed here, and did nothing but talk with Vex. I then ran behind the absol, who was muttering swear words in between attacks towards the porygon, and quickly make it to the void crystal, taking it from its altar within seconds... and about seconds after, a small rift formed. I then ran back to the cliff, where Vex was hiding in the shadows of a nearby tree, and show my prize, our first Void Crystal. I place it in the bag and watch as the absol eventually knocks out the entire enemy team, and then checks their equipment to see if anyone has the exact thing I just stole. The absol quickly became fed up with searching and ran off, along with her teammate, to parts unknown. ""Vex, we don't have long. Do you have a way to get those innocents out of here?"" I ask her. During the fight between the snivy's team and that absol, I've already warned the locals, telling them to evacuate, and the only innocents left would be that other team. ""I... yeah, I think I've got an idea."" She then assures me. A dragon-shaped shadow appears and I look up to see a dragonite, only for her to point downwards for me to see some local timburr building some sort of wagon. They finished the job in no time flat, and they then picked up the innocents, only for the dragonite to fly the wagon away from this mess. It seemed a little weird, but, it WAS Vex's idea, after all. I was just stunned to see that it actually worked.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>My team approaches the enemy, and I make sure to do so with caution, though, that doesn't seem to help anything as he noticed us instantly and... unfortunately... was a tyranitar. ""INTRUDERS! Agh, how many MORE of you intruders do I need to KNOCK OUT JUST TO GET SOME PEACE AND QUIET!?"" yeah... he was mad. ""Um, sir...? would you mind, um..."" I start to say, only to get cut off my him saying ""Let me guess, you want me to stop 'rampaging' right?"" I nod, and get flung into the wall within the next second. ""ugh..."" I say as I manage to not faint from the attack. My helmet somehow shattered, unfortunately, though... there was something off about the shards. They were stone grey, stone cold, and as hard as... oh, wait, I was wearing a rock on my head this whole time, whoops.<i>Wait... now I remember, I left my helmet with that bidoof back at the guild.</i>I think as I get back up and use absorb on the beast, who didn't so much as take notice of my attack. This wasn't going to be easy, nope, not at all. The tyranitar laughs loudly enough for the cave to actually shake and a cave-in happens behind him, meaning that we were all stuck with this guy, now. A mawile and a sableye come out of a small cave, though, it didn't seem like either of them were going to fight. In fact, they both seemed somewhat timid at the moment, shying away from eye contact with me... weird. I then look back to try to find my team, hoping that they wouldn't take too long."

Matt said, pulling Anthony's helmet put of his bag. ""I grabbed it when we went looking for you earlier."" He then turned towards their opponent. ""I can't do anything to damage him, I'm afraid."" He began putting up Light Screen and Reflect, since that was really all he could do.<br/>""I can."" Josh said. He used Water Gun, but didn't do that much damage to him. No surprise there. What did surprise him, though, was how much energy it took to use that attack. He could normally fire multiple Water Guns in a row without any trouble at all. Why would it be so difficult this time?<br/>He decided to ignore it, and assumed that it was just his imagination. Fighting the Tyranitar was their top priority right now.

Hex muttered, watching as an armored tail slammed into the amorphous blob. ""Just.. absolutely great.""<br/><br/>She fluttered higher into the air, and began stirring up a gust with her wings. They fluttered rapidly, forming another mortar of winds. On the ground, the Tyranitar was lashing out, roaring at their team. Matt and Josh had arrived, Matt with a spurt of water, Josh raising a reflective light shield. It's green armored plating seemed that it could shrug off any attack thrown at it, however, and the water just seemed to slide off it. Some of the water managed to get into the crevices between the plating, but it really didn't do much damage. It stomped about the campsite, whipping it's tail around. The tail would easily be a problem, with it's strength, size, and length, as it could easily hit any opponents around him. Not to account in the fact that one simple smack of it's arm could easily knock out any pokemon around their level or size. It was quite the opponent, and could easily take any one of them out.<br/><br/>Hex released her gust, setting the wind upon it. It was well concentrated - to any other pokemon around her level, it would easily shove them down and away. However, the winds hit the Tyranitar with a dull thump, as if she had just threw a pillow at it. The Tyranitar turned an armored head toward her, noticing her high in the air. ""No, no, no, nope.."" She moved slightly higher into the air. Hopefully Shannon would arrive soon. Those ice moves of his would certainly help with the attacker, hopefully being rather strong. Josh seemed to be running out of water quickly, so they needed to get him to a pond or a stream or some melted ice quickly. Nearby, she noticed a Sableye and Mawile by a cave near by the camp. They strayed away from any eye contact with Anthony, seeming rather shy. She began stirring up another gust high in the air, but the Tyranitar's rampaging made it hard to concentrate."

Legally, I can't actually tell you about myself.<br/><br/>But who cares? Law and order collapsed, and yet I'm still alive after... probably around 2,000 years. We've abandoned so much of our past life, especially technology. Probably one of the many things to cause the War to End All Wars/Humanity's Last Stand/Second Cold War/The Last Days/The Rapture/The Five Days of Hell. (Don't ask me about the names; survivors I met often gave me conflicting results. Which unfortunately means there are no official names for the war.)

""Huh...? What happened? Who are you?"" I ask the dragonite, who has thankfully landed by now, yet, for some reason, hasn't taken us out of the cart yet. She then answers with ""I just saved all of you from the void... oh, and my name's Denise, I'm the guildmaster over at Scale City."" I haven't heard of this 'Scale City' yet, but she seemed to be telling the truth. ""So... what's with the cart?"" I then ask, with her saying in response ""Oh, I got a bunch of timburr to build it."" She said that as though it was completely normal for someone to just randomly command three, possibly four wild pokemon to build something for them. I then get out of the cart, and look around Allure, only to see that nothing much seems to have changed. I then look down at myself and notice that quite a bit has changed for me... oddly enough, I was now a grey color, and yet Denise didn't seem to care one bit.<i>Why didn't she freak out? I mean, it's not every day that you see someone this badly discolored.</i>I think as I look at Denise's seemingly unchanging smile. I also notice a pecha berry on her horn, though, she doesn't seem to notice the fruit on her head, which was proven when she finally dropped the cart and said ""Well, I've got to go. I lost my pecha berry a long time ago, and I'd like to find it before dinner."" I was about to say something, but she flew off before I could tell her. Of course, there was something much worse than a missing pecha berry to worry about, I mean, if that evil absol has that supposedly all-powerful void crystal... then we probably don't have much time left on this world.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Th...thanks.""

I wasn't sure just how much good the thing would do in this situation, but I was glad to have it back.<i>I can't believe that I mistook a rock for my helmet...</i>I think as I get put my helmet back on, and get up with almost renewed strength. I then use absorb on the tyranitar, who didn't even seem to notice beyond making me his target again. ""Uh-oh..."" I say as I take a stone-edge attack right to my face, cutting it up as if it were made of butter. That would have been the end of me, were it not for the reviver seeds that I picked up from that camp earlier, as well as their amazing ability to somehow use themselves whenever their owner's in danger. ""Ugh... guys... this guy's seriously tough..."" I point out, probably to the dismay of everyone else on my team. Of course, it seems like everyone else already knew that, making me feel like a complete idiot again. I try using bubble on the thing, only to fail at damaging him, somehow. The tyranitar seems to have stopped using regular attacks at that point, and decides to throw me at the stone wall that he created by caving in the area nearby. It felt just about as good as you'd expect, and I noticed my badge fly off of my helmet once I hit the rock, and look around for it only to see the mawile holding it. She looks at it, and then at the tyranitar. I would have said something, but I got smashed by the tyranitar's tail, prompting another reviver seed to use itself, and making me forget what I was going to say."

This team was professional, and it was in operation. It was a learning opportunity to which Shannon was assigning mental notes with haste.<i>Extras. They're carrying supplies in excess- For wanderers, likely. Or did they collect that here? All these Pokémon must have a food source... And water? Waterbags, they're with the rest of the supplies. Very practical. ...Nothing useful in this bag, I- Oh, no, it's glowing. Crammed full of crystals, ha. Put your mind where the money is, of course. With all these wilders, mining this place is hardly feasible. Or moral.</i>Shannon raised his head towards the rest of Team Scarab. Sufficiently restocked, their footsteps were growing quiet and stealthy again as the protective ring of firelight was crossed. He did not intend to be left behi<i>ah no wait who is this?</i><br/><br/>One of the triplicate mole's faces had been sitting still behind the shade of the larger heads, facing the frost-gilded newbie as he poked around the bags. Sitting still until he started nosing around the loot sack. The Dugtrio vanished. The Dugtrio reappeared. The Amaura caught glimpse of the Explorer who had not been there, but was now. To her inner satisfaction, Shannon jumped. ""Don't poke your head too far into Team Rabbit Hole. Go scurry along with your buddies, sparkly, they're getting the head start."" The dinosaur dipped his head for a moment. The bow's apology was accepted. ""Certainly. I'll do that. Question, however."" She didn't twitch, but Shannon didn't assume stillness was an objection in this case. ""Your fire, how is it fueled? No tree nor branch nor leaf grows here.""<br/><br/>""...Blast seeds and any flammable trash. Food scraps. Useless items. Organics."" Shannon lingered, but the Dugtrio was silent again, and he was not one to outstay a generous welcome. ""Then thanks and best of luck."" The Dugtrio vanished into the ground again, and he set off after companions already several seconds ahead. The adrenaline-induced grin attempted to return, but this time Shannon's face didn't support it. This stretch of cave was emptier. There were lurkers, but little traffic, and the Geodude horde was blissfully absent.<i>But... It's more menacing for that.</i>Every footstep made a subtle echo here, every breath whispered that there was no-one to help you. The extra ground could be easily covered in theory, but Shannon was averse to challenging the unsettling silence.<i>...The silence. It's growing. Whatever keeps the hordes out in here, it's...</i><br/><br/>A motionless body and a far wall was the only cover Shannon had when the Tyranitar's footsteps became audible. He went unnoticed. The colossus thudded past on all fours, following Team Scarab's trail, and following as quietly as such a massive body would permit. There was murderous intent in that lopsided four-legged prowl, but Shannon was too stunned to pray to his gods.<br/><br/><i>...I'm cut off.</i>The lord of this cave was between him and his team. Trailing the Tyranitar closely was suicidal. The tail alone looked able to swat Shannon aside. Waiting until it was gone would leave Team Scarab to encounter the beast without their adopted fifth member.<i>Dance, Carrol, dance,</i>thought Shannon giddily, but he danced- Somewhere just beyond the Tyranitar's awareness was a space balanced haphazardly between discovery and delay. A heartrate soared and stopped again- This Amaura wasn't the only follower. A Sableye was nearby, and yet another Mawile, all three trailing around the wake of the Tyranitar. Shannon backed off.<i>...Folly to storm ahead, folly to risk engaging another Mawile. Oh god of song, help them, please. I'll be too late.</i>Shannon gently incised his foot on a quartz shard and let a drop of blood flow for a hopeless prayer. Seconds ticked past.<br/><br/>The Sableye vanished somewhere. The Mawile followed, chasing a fragment of flying stone. There was rushing wind and water and voice. Fear for others broke fear for himself, and Shannon stormed into the room, trailing auroras of blood and heliotropes that hummed with electricity. He skidded and broke his gallop short of colliding with the Tyranitar, but the glowing streams of ions continued forwards, spiralling over the colossus's armour and dissolving into its body.<br/><br/>There was surprise mingled with the fury of the ensuing bellow- ""You<i>cheeky shit</i>!"" Shannon attempted to escape the swinging tail he expected, but the beast was not so predictable. A pulse of malicious aura flowed outwards, filling the chamber. The burst of malice focused its worst into the Amaura's body, flooding his brain with terror, shame, regret, loathing. He colllapsed into horror and shock, crying like a hatchling.<br/><br/><i>Bitches need to learn their god-damned place,</i>the Tyranitar mused as his tail gave a useless spasm."

The Tyranitar had easily swung it's tail into Shannon, and combined with a Dark Pulse, had reduced the explorer to tears.<br/><br/>Hex was intimidated by the show of events. The Tyranitar had so easily defeated Shannon that he didn't seem to have wasted any excess energy at all. And Shannon seemed so broken after the one attack. The Amaura was curled up on the cave floor, tears streaming. Several wispy, dark surrounded him momentarily before dissipating into the air. The Dark Pulse must've been awful. She had heard of it before, back in the hive in Birchwood. Some drones had just barely returned to the hive to announce a new enemy within Birchwood Forest. They were beaten up, dirty, and some were quiet and had a distant look in their eyes. Some Sableye had arrived to wreak havoc on the pokemon, some armed with a powerful dark pulse that had nearly sweeped their entire squadron. The Dark Pulse really damaged the Combee, and seemed to have really hurt them. And that was just the Sableye dark pulses. Sableye who probably weren't all that tough. The Tyranitar's dark pulse must've been insane.<br/><br/>Losing herself in her memories, the Tyranitar saw his opportunity. It grinned ferociously, it's teeth grimy and scratched up. An arcing beam of dark, shadowy energy had erupted from the beast. Luckily, it missed Hex by but a millimeter, but it clipped one wing and caused her to lose control, veering off into the cave. The shadowy energy was thrown into one of the glowing crystals, causing it to arc around the gem like lightning. The energy dissipated, but the crystal seemed to give off an almost shadowy, dark aura for a moment, before it dissipated and returned to it's original coloring. Hex, meanwhile, had landed by a large, roughly edged stalactite. The Tyranitar lumbered up, a sneer on it's face. Without a word, the pokemon mercilessly swung it's tail into the Combee, sending it flying into the cave wall, audibly hitting a luminescent crystal with a loud thump. Hex slowly fell to the cave floor. She had almost been completely knocked out by the one attack. Struggling, Hex got into her bag, and ate a reviver seed. She felt new life springing through her, and attempted to get up.<br/><br/>""Hard hitter.. really hard hitter."" Hex said, struggling to regain"

Why, I've gotten hurt so much, that my soul can take the pain better then my body can deal with the damage. However, I never let those horrible beatings get me down; for I knew that they were just a long string of trials that I had to overcome to reach my dream, and I was right!

On the other side of it lies my goal, Allure Town. I wander in to the thick forest only to find the sun almost blocked out completely. I had remembered the locals telling me that the name of this place was Birchwood Forest and that I should be careful of the feral pokemon living here. I walked deeper into the forest when I noticed some movement on my left. A small Patrat was eyeing me from within a bush. When it had realized that I had seen it, the small pokemon pounced towards me. Dodging the attack I looked up at my enemy, I prepared a Shadow Ball and the pokemon froze in place. It began to turn around and run when I noticed a large shadow behind me. I looked around to find a large Beedrill glaring down at me. I rotated my body as fast as I could and launched the Shadow Ball. It hit the Beedril and made it even more angry and it flew towards me with a Horn Drill. It almost hit me as I dodged to the right. ""I didn't want to have to do this."" I say to the Beedril. I prepared a Void Claw on my right paw and pounced forward hitting the Beedril and knocking it out.

Spruce at least wasn't compounded by shrapnel, unlike us. Damn, what the hell did Davis pack recently?<br/><br/>As I rolled down the hill leaving a fading trail of purple, I realised someone was stumbling up to the crystal. Greg's words echoed in my throbbing head - ""You'll kill us all!"" Well, it was something similar. And he shouted it, from top of the hill with an obvious wound in his leg. I looked back at the lone Pokemon, as he/she swiped the crystal from its place and left behind a gaping... hole. A 'hole' is the best I can describe what I saw. I just wanted to save us all, lifting my magnet into the air to electrocute that thief, shortly before my vision became black. I failed. Miserably. All because I had taken enough damage for one day. The strange thing was that Desia was on the other side of the hill, busy trying to beat the life out of Davis. So... who was this mysterious figure? Or figures, maybe...<br/><br/>Then again, I was probably delusional. I mean, I had a concussion which was worsened by a bomb going off next to me. And I had suffered grievous wounds, some I which I suspect would require some metal to be smelted into me. Some last words resonated into my head, but were too muffled to make out.<br/><br/>We were all dead Pokemon.<br/><br/>...and only Arceus knew how we were still alive.<br/><br/>""Gah..."" I woke up with a bunch of other Pokemon. Mostly my team, but also some apparent... strangers. Within seconds, I realised we were on a rickety cart, passing trees and bushes slowly with the help of a towering Dragonite. They were all talking, as if I forget I was even alive. I didn't mind to be honest. I caught a few words in the conversation, especially 'Scale City.' Greg was snoring, while Spruce still lost colouration. Grabbing a branch and ripping off some leaves, I wiped off the remaining purple on my wounds, thinking about where to dispose of them... after all, I wasn't sure if they could still kill something. So, I just left them beside myself. ""Well. That ended well. Let's go celebrate."" Sarcasm. Never ceases to exist, because it's such an amazing tool. Meanwhile, Kamina started yapping (admittedly poetically) to Celes. ""Kamina, here's a quote I saved for you: 'Pain is weakness, leaving the body.' You don't want to know who made that quote, 'cause he suffered from lead poisoning and always burnt his feet with rockets."" As normal as I sounded, the content of the sentence didn't exactly give good connotations.<br/><br/>""Now, I need a recap. What we were discussing this morning? How about the current condition of Spruce? He's gone all monochromatic. Greg on the other hand still has a-""<br/><br/>""M, shut up. I had that weirdly-shaped metal removed when we got rescued by these Pokemon."" Greg was alive and well. He had some weird stuff around his wound, but otherwise seemed alright."

Whether we liked it or not, we had to stay at the guild. ""Good to see everyone's awake, um, Gregory, I'm assuming you don't have much, and I won't require a reward. Unfortunately, I don't think my team would agree with that..."" I say to him, realizing how much of a drain this day was on us, let alone him. He seemed to have a rather large wound... but... something didn't look right about it. I then start to feel all the damage I took all over again and though the pain add ""We should probably return to the guild... we're in no condition to adventure anywhere."" I then start heading back at a slow enough pace for the rest of my team to easily follow, with Gregory walking off in the opposite direction, towards a rather recent addition to town that allows those who aren't in either guild to be healed as if they were, which was probably for the best, given that his wound looked like it needed some medical attention. I finally make it back to the guild, and once I get there, Arnold runs up with a banana pointed at my face and shouts ""INTRUDER!"" I jump back and show him my badge. ""It's just me... Spruce. I kinda had a run-in that I'd rather not discuss at the moment."" He then puts away his banana, and starts walking around me, eventually coming to the conclusion of ""Oh... okay. Welcome back, Spruce!"" he then went back to his own office, and let me head towards my room. I was tired, even if it wasn't late.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The tyranitar wasn't really taking much in the way of damage from any of my teammates, and worse his attacks seemed to hit my teammates like an exploding registeel... heck, Carrol was shaking like something that didn't like the cold, but then I remembered...<i>Wait... he's using PHYSICAL attacks against me, isn't he? Why did it take me so long to do this?</i>I then wait for another attack, eventually shouting ""Hey, rocks-for-brains, it's not nice to traumatize kids!"" my admittedly pathetic insult seems to grab the tyranitar's attention, evidenced by him charging at me, only to use stone edge on me. Sure, the move cut deep into me, and I was barely standing when he was finished... but that was just what I wanted. As soon as he finished his rock-based onslaught against me, I almost literally threw the attack back at him by using counter, and for once, he took damage. Heck, I even somehow managed to knock him back from that. After I eat an oran in one bite, I say ""How's that, huh? Not so great when you're not invincible, or when your supposed 'helpless victims' can fight back, is it?"" it was probably humorous to the rest of my team that this was coming from a goomy of all things, let alone the only one to have to use a reviver seed so far. He charges at me again, and I ready myself, however, before he could get to us, I hear someone shout ""DAD, STOP!"" the mawile from earlier then runs out of the cave, and places herself in front of me for some reason. ""They're a team of explorers, not a bunch of wild pokemon. They might even be able to help us."" the giant, dinosaur-like pokemon seems to stop in its tracks at the small, almost innocent, humanoid pokemon's words, for some reason. He then says ""E-explorers? Have we been causing enough trouble around here to be hunted down? Yeesh... I really do hope they can help us, Terra."" the two then head into the cave, and motion for us to follow... which was weird. ""Well... that sure took a U-turn..."" I then say to the team as I wait for Hex to follow the two into their cave."

I feel like I was ran over by a thousand tauros rushing at the sunset."" she then says, moving slowly. When she entered she saw Arnold interrogating Spruce with a banana. She shakes her head and continued to move, before going to her bed... at least she think it was her bed. Her head was too tired to even feel if it was. And with everything that happened, she knew she would need rest for a long while. Her eyes were groggy, and sleepy.

Different shops lay around the plaza and different pokemon are purchasing items and services from them. I wander over to two pokemon, they appear to be a Bellsprout and a Bedew chatting. ""Umm... excuse me."" I ask politely ""Would you happen to know where the guild in this town is?"". Both pokemon roll their eyes and walk off leaving me there. ""How nice of them.."" I say to my self when I hear someone calling to me. ""You there! You looking for the guild?"" one of the heads of a shopkeeper says to me. I walk over to the stall and reply ""Why yes I am.""

Hex barely had time to register what happened. The Tyranitar returned to it's four legged prowl, slowly creeping around the camp in a defensive stature. It seemed to be attempting to protect something, but Hex was unsure what that would be. Hex, at this point, began faintly stirring up another gust, an audible hiss of air in the cave. Anthony called out for the Tyranitar to attack him, apparently being suicidal. The Tyranitar lashed out with a stone edge, rushing toward the little blob with a jagged, sharpened chunk of rock in one hand. The little Goomy began to glow a bright light. Upon the Tyranitar smashing the rock into him, instead of causing Anthony to explode in a gooey mess, the Tyranitar was flung onto his back, thrown back into the cave. Anthony did a small victory shout before the Tyranitar regained his strength and began to rush again. Now, apparently, he was a father to a Mawile. It was quite the turn of events.<br/><br/>""I, um.. okay."" Hex said, still a bit surprised from the events that took place. Her right wing was damaged, and her entire body felt sore, but other than that she felt relieved. ""Okay.""<br/><br/>Hex began to follow the two back. That was quite a surprise. The Tyranitar was a dad. She was still having trouble registering what the little dragon blob had done. It had done much more damage in one attack than all of their attacks had done combined."

The slow and packed Dragonite noticed and bid us farewell, as he dragged the now-lighter cart towards... somewhere else. Not really interested in their business, I decided to follow my battered team to the way back to Arnold's Guild. They recovered more or less from their injuries; Celes and Kamina seemed alright, although Spruce was still discoloured and I had lasting claw marks on my face. If I found Davis, I'd be getting him to smelt some metal into my wounds-<br/><br/>""Oh for Arceus' sake."" I hissed. Davis was... well, unaccounted for. I counted my current options:<i>I could always leave. Start drifting around the world, since I don't really have a purpose... or, I could believe he's still alive. Faith seems to be fuel these days.</i>""Meh."" I just shrugged to myself and let the matter sink to the bottom of my mind. If anything, I always knew Davis for his amazing survival skills. Did you know if you got a Giggle Counter near him that it would start sending sparks? That's how happy he was. And happiness was the best medicine-<br/><br/>No. I was crazy for a moment. Realising what would happen, I stuck to the latter option of faith. (<i>Hey. I could always try.</i>)<br/><br/>Swinging bags... limping badges... ""Oh for goodness sake."" I abruptly broke our silence, as if we just survived an apocalypse. ""How the Hell did we forget our badges could teleport us?"" I complained, cut off by Arnold's imitation of a firearm. Initially, I dismissed it as Arnold's usual mental abilities, until I decided to liven up our situation... after all, I already seemed pretty damn merciless to my teammates. Which Kamina would point out (unwittingly) later on. ""That's a knife, mate!"" I raised my hands up, using a high voice as I stared at him. In sarcasm. You know, sarcasm. Sarcasm, sarcasm... I got repetitive. I'm sure that would possibly provoke a few memories out of Davis, though. As I floated away, I kept facing him, managing to even avoid several Pokemon in the way and bumping through our wooden door.<br/><br/>""Okay. Today was horrible. That's all we need to reflect on."" I said, entering our room as the sun began fading from our room. ""Although, we made interesting developments. For example, we fruitlessly tried to defend a crystal from 'Dementia' (Desia, but I think the pun works). And according to the words of Greg, we're all doomed now.""<br/><br/>""Oh. Did we get paid for our efforts? Does anyone care about Spruce's current condition, let alone our saviour?"" I asked, being admittedly cynical. ""...and Kamina, don't push it.

There was a second of delusion between wakefulness and sleep when thoughts felt real enough to hear, but a patient brain dispelled the haze of irrational accusations and Shannon's reflexes twisted him to a furious upright stance. For all his emotional stress, the Amaura's body was as yet unharmed. A vast green figure was visible again, its outline marked by long spikes. Shannon made to exhale a flurry of ice crystals, but slowed when he registered the presence of Team Scarab crowding the Tyranitar, halted when the tail became visible.<i>...Nothing's moving. Back is turned, yet they're not fighting... Shouting, running, nothing.</i>Was it finished? How much time had it taken to subdue the behemoth when the Team had been trying so hard to as much as scratch its armour? A chain of thought rematerialised and wrapped itself around Shannon's head, conscious or not. He flared at the concept of being useless for so long, for something of this magnitude.<br/><br/>Lowering himself to a sulky prowl of his own, Shannon approached the team again. The Tyranitar was still charged with electricity, to whatever degree, and bruised, but conscious. A Mawile- Recognisable? -was also in view.

I start off by making sure I had at least 10 sheets of paper and two pencils, and a matchbox. I look off into the distance to see what was over yonder, and I see a storm cloud, so I wasn't going to be able to see, and I was going to be drenched.

I sit down at the bush and start to go over what my plan was, and also how to mark which way I went, so I didn't get lost in the fog. I then reach for another berry, but I had eaten all of them, so I started on my walk again.

I scream as its grip tightens to a bone-crushing force, and throws me out of, what I would describe it as, the void. I land on my left leg, and *SNAP!* It was broken... I limp away from the area, and breathe scarcely, screaming and whimpering from the pain. I was confused, and terrified. I make it out of the mist and away from the void, and grab some Oran Berries from a bush. I shove them down my throat, hoping to have the pain be enlightened a little bit. I limp down, to my construct, and go invisible as I rest by it."

I smile as I head down the stairs and over to my room, passing by several oddly awake pokemon on my way there, including that bidoof, some random shinx, and strangely enough, a latios.<i>Nah, that couldn't be a latios, they're rare pokemon, and probably wouldn't be caught dead joining some guild.</i>I think as I continue my tired shuffle past the guildmaster's office, which seemed to be covered in dirty, gummy-glazed feathers for some weird reason. Archie was in there and was mumbling something about not letting the guildmaster ever cook gummis on the roof again as he continued to pluck out his own feathers... well, the ones that were covered in liquified gummis that is. The hall seemed to expand into infinity as I walked through it, yet eventually, I came to my room. Sure, something in there smelled like a wet dog, and the beds were in horrible condition from me almost never making mine, but, right now, this looked like the bed in that five-star hotel in Scale City. I coiled up in my bed, and started to drift of... though, something seemed off this time... why was there an extra blanket on my bed?<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I follow Hex into the next room, which seemed to be this tyranitar's home. Oddly enough, there was Team ACT memorabilia covering the walls, including a team badge, marked 'Crater'... odd... was this guy their biggest fan, or something? He then answered Carrol's question as to who they are, by saying ""Name's Crater, former explorer and former member of Team ACT, and this young mawile is Terra... she's adopted if you can't already tell.""<i>Wait... Crater? Wow... who knew we were fighting a celebrity!</i>I think as my eyes drift over to an odd looking egg that was in the center of the room. ""Ah, I see you've found Blaze. He's a victini that I, um, found over near the beach... he has a weird issue where he keeps changing into an egg."" I begin to head over towards the egg, and Terra adds ""We should continue this tomorrow, it's getting late, though, this is what you might be able to help us with."" the sableye then comes back into view, and Terra says ""It's okay, Randy, they're here to help, well, they will be tomorrow."" this area was weird, and actually somewhat large, easily fitting the giant that was Crater. I wander around the place, and notice a few extra beds that weren't in use, heck, the room was even marked as 'guest' the ACT memorabilia didn't just fill the walls of the living room, but just about everywhere... that is, save for the guest room, and apparently Terra's room. I wasn't allowed in there, as once I got close to the door, Terra would run up to it and block the way, glaring at me until I left. For a cave, this place was also very dry, though there was a pool of water next to the entrance... its purpose to the family was completely unknown to me, but that pool of water would probably help out Josh, who seemed to be having some sort of issue, or something."

""He's starting to lose consciousness. We don't have much time left.""<br/>Just as he was about to drift off, Josh felt himself drop into cold water. Heimmediately started to feel better. Floating up to the surface, he saw what appeared to be the Tyranitar's home.<br/>Matt was floating beside the pool. ""Are you all right?<br/>""I'm fine now.""<br/>He let out a sigh of relief. ""I was beginning to think you wouldn't make it. Water can be rather difficult to find underground.""<br/><br/>Josh took some time to look around. There were posters of a group known as Team ACT lining the walls. Josh had never heard of them, but from what he was hearing they were quite famous up on the surface. There was also an egg in the middle of the room, which Josh found odd. The Tyranitar, whose name was apparently Crater, explained that he found a Victini down by the beach, who for some reason kept turning into an egg."

She examined the room for a moment, glancing around. The walls were completely covered with rewards and treasure of Team A.C.T. She learned of them while in the hive, while studying rescue teams. The team consisted of an Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar. They had completed countless missions, taken down outlaws, saved many pokemon. Apparently, however, they split up, and took their own, very different routes in life. Aside from all the memorabilia, in the center of the room, a light, cream egg with various orange markings sat. Apparently, it was a.. Victini egg? Why was there a Victini egg? How was there a Victini egg? She had learned of that legendary pokemon, too. It was much more powerful than your average pokemon, similar to a Latios or a Mew or a Celebi. Victini was in charge of victory and winning, similar to how Dialga's control of time and Palkia's control of space. It had a problem where it kept turning into an egg, apparently. Taking a seat on the bed, she began to realize just how fatigued she was. The Tyranitar really hit hard, and she had to travel through that rocky ravine with all those powerful pokemon trying to snap her up. On top of all that, it must've been pretty late. Her eyes felt heavy. It was all a lot to handle. She curled up in one of the guest beds, trying to get some sleep. Today had been a pretty productive day, and they had a lot to do tomorrow.

She felt as if she was not there, only a spectator in this dream. What she saw was someone running... running from some creatures that were of a dark color, gray and such. A bunch of them were chasing the figure. Celes could not see what the figure was, cause it was all blurry. The images also seemed to flash in and out constantly, as if something was wrong in her mind at the moment. The figured continued to run, as fast as it could, trying to get away from the dark figures, before turning around and then suddenly letting out what seemed to be a bright flash of light towards her assailant. Unfortunately a projectile went off and hit the figure, making her fly a couple of feets, and Celes saw something round behind thrown in the air slightly, before getting caught quickly by the figure who then went off to run again, weak, but still with energy. Then the images started to stop, as she saw only darkness.... emptiness. Something that at the same time was there as well as being absent. It took some time before she got a normal dream back.<br/><br/>The next morning, she was woken up by the cry of a pokemon that was yelling to everyone to wake up. She was unsure about what that dream meant. She was still groggy a bit. What was all this dream suppose to meant. She slowly gets back her senses,,, only to feel something that was wrapped around her slightly. She looked down, only to see that Spruce was holding her! She looked at the bed, and saw that she actually went to sleep in his bed instead of hers. She stares at him, blushing hard, unsure what to do. She then tries to move away, trying to not wake him up.

The whole world is on my face. Either that, or lying on the floor, writhing in pain.<br/><br/>""Argh..."" I groaned. Although, it didn't sound like my voice. It was... deep and coarse. ""What the fu...?"" I couldn't move. Heck, if anything, I could just feel... my head. That was about it. I inched my eyes downwards, to find a black snout growing. I could feel my heart spiking in beats as I tried breathing. Unfortunately, my lungs were blocked by a massive weight, and I could actually feel my heartbeat slowing down... before disappearing completely.<i>Ohmygodohmygodoh-</i><br/><br/>Finally. I could start moving again. Well, that was shortly after a beam of metal hit crushed my hip. I screamed in pain as I somehow dragged myself out from underneath the thing, watching my flattened legs go red and black. Cracking noises stiffened what remained of my ears, a combination of bones and walls bending horribly. ""Jesus. What the hell's going on!?"" I shouted, my voice being drowned out by the vibrations of my throat. Making sense of the situation: nil. I dragged myself on the floor to lie against the darkened walls, trying to breath with all my might. I stifled my continuing screams (which went from painful screams to shocked screams), watching a tail- no, a hand erupt from under my back and between my legs and spasm on the floor, flexing away from red entrails covering it before I could start feeling it. I took a good look at my hands, as my fingers became pointed and giant. I had to bend my arms by a lot to just get a close-up. Tilting my head upwards from them, I could see my legs stretch out, bending and twisting as talons developed. Honestly, I wished it was the work of Richard's formula, making me go crazy with the cocktail of anti-psychotics he had at hand. I gulped, feeling and eventually seeing a series of patterns forming on the underside of my body, while a scarf had grown on my neck and beyond.. Within seconds, I had bounced up, because my entire hospital room was beginning to rumble. I had trouble standing from both the gravity pulling everything down, as well as my new stance of instinctively standing on my toes.<i>Please. Someone explain this to me.</i>Breathing lightly as my 'lungs' opened up again, I nearly tripped upon a computer that was donated to me. It struck me as odd (which itself was odd, considering my room was about to fall several stories) that the power was out, since the plug was still attached to the wall socket. The screen was dead, although that was because it fell from my table. I attempted to lift myself up, although I lacked the physical strength to do it. But, as the room was beginning to open up and reveal the several stories I would fall, I hastily flew up and grabbed onto the wall with my giant hands.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>I yawned, stifling it against my pillow.<i>What a dream. Maybe it's trying to tell me something.</i>I ignored the dream, despite the sweat running on my face. I had woken up before anyone else did, just as the dawn rose... to blind my eye again. ""Ah, frickin' hell."" I sunk into my bed again, folding my blanket over my face.<br/><br/>I swore seconds just passed, but when I whipped my blanket off me, I had noticed something. Very odd. Almost... I started to laugh. ""Oh-look-at-you-ah-haha-oh-ho!"" I broke my voice for a second. This was what I needed to wake me up in the mornings from now on. ""Ah... oh well. At least you're friends with benefits. If you know what I mean."" That old saying by Davis would often disturb him. I never knew why. ""I bet I could make several more cracks at you two."" I joked, although I took it into consideration."

Their fur and scales just coming off from fighting one of the monsters...</i>I think. I write down on a piece of paper, ""If seen with these characteristics, please tell William Lennard at 233 Green Ave. Look for any Haxorus missing some scales from it's tusks, or a talon/claw. Also look out for an absol missing a few tufts of hair. These are suspects for a burglary of an artifact. Do not confront either, as they could be dangerous."" I find something on the ground that was sticky, and post that note up on a wall where people could see it. I walk out of town, and get on my way back to the Foggy Plains, hopefully to find more evidence. I don't stop to rest, or even to eat a berry. I was making haste, since the possible burglars may have a chance in not being caught.<br/><br/>As I get there, a Sawk is right in front of me. There was no running or hiding from this one, I had to fight him. I used Feint Attack and Scratch in that order, and then dodged one attack, buck get grabbed and punched, then thrown down to the ground, and hit with a Karate Chop. I push him off and grab a rock and throw it at his forehead, and it hits. I take the moment while he's stunned to bolt out and into the fog.<br/><br/>I stumble around, tripping on a bush or two, and walking directly into a wall. I rub my face and look at the wall.<i>What was a wall doing here?</i>I ask myself as I walk around the wall. I see some papers, a few matches, and a box with the human's language on it. I look at the jumble of letters and it says ""CAMEL."" I put it in my backpack and grab whatever was on the table. A folder, a pencil, and a small link of round steel balls, like a chain. Maybe used to operate something. My backpack was full of books, metal objects, and something with a translucent material in the shape of a flattened rectangular prism. I zip up my bag and walk, searching for another possible hint or clue to this crime.<br/><br/>I find the floating altar again, and make a few quick looks around, making sure there were none of the strange pokemon that had the power to break bones and throw people great distances. I closely examine the altar, and once I found nothing, I examine the ground around the area, and find some footprints when I stick my face as close to the ground as possible. Absol footprints. I follow them for a while, and then remember that these criminals could be very dangerous. I go back to Allure Town, past the lake, and past the structure that I made, with confirmation of at least one of the species of Pokemon.<br/><br/>When I arrive, I look for anyone that could be interested in old human technologies. No one wanted any, yet. Maybe I would find someone later. I had to go confirm that it was an Absol that helped steal the relic and that I was on the brink of finding them, hopefully. I go to my house, and wait for a knock at the door, or someone bursting in saying ""I saw them, I saw them! I know where they are and you can arrest them!"" I chortle at the thought of someone doing that 2nd thing."

The bad part came with the fact that I would always be beaten down in the dream, and then would be forced to repeat that moment until I woke up. I then open my eyes to see Celes... in my bed... and not a blanket like I though she was. I notice her blushing, and get up a little too quickly, which led to me hitting my head on the bed above mine. ""Ow, um, I mean... hi? Why did you sleep in my bed, and what the heck is M talking about with 'friends with benefits'?"" I ask Celes as I, more carefully, move off of my bed. This whole situation was weird, and even awkward, though... I'll admit, it was kinda nice with her in the bed... wait, what? What am I thinking? I clear my head of those thoughts, and look around my room. Kamina was going on another filibuster, and M was laughing his... er... body... maybe, off. The beds were unmade, which was normal for this time of day, and I could have sworn Celes was either a tomato berry, or a flareon with all the blushing she was doing.

I ask some people where I could get any more information on this, and they either pointed to the guild, or west, and said ""Foggy Plains."" I didn't want to go to the guild. It looked unappealing and full of hoodlums. I head out the gates, and west.<br/><br/>I take a sharp left when I get to a lake, and the ground gets steeper, and steeper, and higher until I have to start rock climbing to get up the mountain. Once I'm at the top, I look at the fog bank up and down.<i>Maybe there was a place where they were hiding, in the forest...</i>I think. I scan the forest, and see a building in the fogginess that was just barely sticking up from the mist. I get excited and climb down the mountain, charting the location.<br/><br/>Once I'm down the mountain and in the forest, I run in the windy path I made on my piece of paper.

This time it was so strong that I couldn't see anything but a light gray wall in front of me. Then it hit me... Or I hit it, I guess. I walked straight into a wooden wall and I feel for a door. I feel a brass handle and I twist it, then I walk into the building. I close the door and it very suddenly got dark, and not foggy. I light a match and I could actually see with it.<br/><br/>As I walk through the room, I see another door and I open it, into a hall. As I walk down it, there is a dead end. I walk into a room, and see an open vent. I lift up the covers on a bed, and there's blood. I put the covers back on, and move paintings, and then hear a loud stomping coming down the hall. I'm startled, and look around. I jump up into the vent and go invisible as fast as possible and start climbing around. I look out the vent's panel and see a large figure burst through the door. I jump in surprise and the thing that looked like a giant Conkeldurr. It looked frightening.<i>Was it wild?</i>I wonder. I didn't want to take the chance.<br/><br/>I crawl in the vent until my arms are sore and I felt tired, and I burst out of the nearest opening. I was now in a giant room, that looked extravagant. I rub my own shoulders for a second, and snoop around. The stairs were blocked by two fallen pillars that looked too big to climb over. I look for any other stairs. None. I walk around the top floor, and look at how far the drop was. I shook my head and walked away from the ledge. Right into a warm body. I look up and see the Conkeldurr and it yells something unintelligible and grabs my by the stomach and throws me off the ledge, onto the hard marble floor. I hit the ground hard, and faint.<br/><br/>When I wake up again, I feel an intense pain in my arms and head. I look down to see my arm was sprained, and I also had a very bad headache from trauma. I check myself for lacerations, and there were none. I sigh a sigh of relief, and get up. My side hurt, and I was a little hungry. I start limping and look for a door or way out. I see one and rush towards it, and try it. It was locked. I push against it, and it wouldn't budge. I hit the door with my fist and sit down. Tears form in my eyes. If they were here, I'd be dead. Absolutely, positively, no doubt, dead. I wipe my eyes and look for any other type of escape. I think about burning the place down, but I'd die from the smoke before I got out. I write down my current situation, crying. Tears fall on the paper and smear the lines. I shake my head and crumple it up. I see many other doors, but none of them had an 'EXIT' sign on them.<br/><br/>I walk into a dark room, and light a match. It was a kitchen. Maybe I could get something I could defend myself with... I wasn't a fighter. I can't do this. I just want to get out. I see a body. It was a Riolu, probably wild. I knew the Conkeldurr wasn't wild, because it had yelled actual words... kind of? I wasn't sure what the hell it said. It nearly killed me, too. Maybe it used to be civilized, and came here, and then got crazy. I sit in a corner and fall asleep."

Fire had completely engulfed our house that night, and screams rung out throughout the air, drowned out by the flickering and the crackling. I coughed again, nearly tripping over an ashy support pillar<i>I'm going to die.</i>I realized, as I gave another cough. I could feel the ash settling into my skin. I inhaled another shaky breath of smoke before coughing once again. My lungs felt restricted, like they were coated in ash, like they were on fire. I slowly climbed through the flaming wood. The pain was intense. I felt like I was about to die every step I took. However, I made it to the charred rubble of<i>her</i>room. If I could just get her out, everything would be alright. Everything would be fine. It wouldn't matter if I died, she still had years and years ahead of her. I stumbled into her room, to see she was still sleeping, hanging upside down on a quickly burning wooden beam. I shook her awake.<br/><br/>""<b>Fern, time to go. We need to get out.</b>"" I whispered, my throat to weak to speak loudly. It sounded odd in my ears. ""<b>We need to get out now.</b>""<br/><br/>I gave a glance toward mom and dad's room. Could they make it out..? I hugged Fern tightly, hiding her under one wing. The air seemed to distort before me, shimmering, which I imagine was due to the growing heat. I was sweating buckets, drenched in my own sticky sweat. ""Stark..?"" Fern whispered, trying to push through my wing. ""<b>Just stay under there, and try not to breathe too much.</b>"" I coughed out once again. I slowly stumbled to their room, but just as I was about to walk in, a flaming support beam crashed down before me, barring off the entrance. ""<b>NO!</b>"" I tried to yell! but my voice was too weak. I scratched at the door, as more flaming pillars and beams crashed around me.<b>No..</b>"" The white hot fire was all around, getting closer.. it was too close.. I was going to..<br/><br/>Hex awoke, suddenly rising. She seemed to be drenched in sweat, like the dream. ""Ugh."" She mumbled, rising up out of the hot blankets. ""Bad dream."" She fluttered off, out of the bed. ""Really bad dream."""

I stand up, and walk through the kitchen, looking for tools or food. Maybe a rich guy used to live here and then the fog settled in and he just left. I walk into a hallway, where there was light. Light? Where was the light coming from? There wasn't a lit match. I look up and see the buzzing white light. I cover my eyes as I peer into it, as it starts to worsen my headache. I walk through the hall and rub my forehead. I open a door and it was dark again.<br/><br/>As I walk into the room, I light a match and see that it was a storage room that had shelves full of empty boxes. All except one, which had more matches. I grab them in a hurry and put them in my backpack. I make haste in getting myself out of here. It was dark, and if the... thing found me, I would be crushed. I open the only other door and walk through, and see some windows. I try opening them, but they were rusted shut, and punching the window would only make my arm worse, and severely cut my arm. I try the other windows. None of them worked. I mark it down on my map for later. If that guy finds me, I can run back here and have him accidentally destroy the wall, allowing my escape. I smile and sigh. Hopefully that plan worked, and I walk into a room labeled ""Dining Room."" I enter it and find old, rotten scraps of food, and I plug my nostrils as I enter it. I step through a cobweb, and into something that felt like slime mixed with feces. I scream upon contact and bolt away. It was covering my foot, and had an indescribable smell.<br/><br/>I walk back to the big room where the exit was, and look for any other rooms. I find a room that led to a giant spiraling staircase. I walk down, my fungus on my foot sticking on to everything it touched, leaving a trail of footsteps. I throw up twice from the smell of it, and nearly slip down the stairs. When I get to the bottom, I see a room labeled ""CELLAR"" and I enter it. It was hot upon entrance, and I light a match. I see a tank that had a diamond with fire in the middle and I think<i>That's either a warning, or something that tells me where to put fire. It's probably a warning. I should put this match out before something bad happens.</i>I lick my fingers and put out the match and close the cellar, then I walk back up the staircase when I hear something behind me.<br/><br/>""LITTLE PIG!"" I hear the Conkeldurr yell, and I sprint as fast as possible up the stairs. I shriek like a little girl as I enter the big room, and slam the door on the monster. I bolt around, looking for a place to hide, not remembering my plan, and I run into the other open set of doors, into a kitchen. I grab a cleaver and as it opens the doors, I throw the cleaver at it, nicking its arm. Blood dribbles out of its cut, and it roars and I run into the hall, closing the door behind me again. I suddenly remember where I was going, and hear it crash through the kitchen, and rip open the door like a beast. I shriek again and run towards the door in the supply room, into the hall with the windows. I stand at one of the windows, and it barrels through, and tries to smash me with its pillar, and I dodge it mostly, it only taking out my left leg. I grab it as soon as it was hit, and the pillar smashed the window, sending glass everywhere.<br/><br/>I dive for the opening and roll out of the building, and hurt my leg even more. I stand up, and look at the opening, which was now ripped open even more. I limp right into a gate, and my bum leg wasn't going to hold up to climb over it. I try to lift up the bottom, and crawl under. I, now panicking, rush out the gate and laugh triumphantly at the other side. I limp-walk out of the fog bank and collapse as soon as I do, fainting from exhaustion."

I would've chuckled for longer, had I not reacted the way I did upon floating upwards.<br/><br/>""ARGH! Who the BLOODY in IN MY OWN PERSONAL HELL welded an extra bar onto my magnet!?"" I was talking about my third magnet, which was located behind me. I could see it, because instead of staying behind me, it was at the bottom of my body. My screws were... well, someone had definitely burnt them while welding the third bar onto my magnet. I mean... how does one do this without waking me up? ""I-I'm serious. How did this perpetrator managed to do this without waking any one of us? Do you know how loud welding gets, let alone the light it creates? It's like burning magnesium while you dissolve it in some hydrochloric acid!"" Random facts I just decided to spurt out to emphasis the situation. Disturbingly, the bar didn't look like it was welded, and my screws were slightly jagged.<br/><br/>...yes, I was pissed. If there was one thing that annoyed me, it would involved vandalism to my body. Sure, I probably let Dementia off the hook, but we were in a fierce battle. This was just uncalled for. Well, maybe it was a punishment for being such a jerk, but even then this was rather extreme.<br/><br/>""Kamina!

I look at it, and see it had a few glass shards in it. I scream as I get up from the ground, putting pressure on it. I close my eyes and bite my lip as I grasp one of the shards, and slowly take the glass shard out of my calve and put massive amounts of pressure on it to stop the bleeding. After I'm sure it's stopped bleeding, I repeat the process until all of the shards are out. and all the bleeding has stopped. I breathe heavily and grab a branch to pull myself up. I hop on one leg for a small bit, and try to walk on it. It was too painful, so I hop one one leg back to Allure Town.<br/><br/>As soon as I get to Allure Town, I ask for someone who could help with the leg, or maybe get that brute taken care of. I mash up some berries into a paste, and put them on my wounds, hoping that would help them heal, or disinfect. I saw that in a book one time. It stings at first but then gets numb and soon my whole leg is asleep. I hopped over to 'The Guild', and mumbled something as I wobbled in.<i>Dirty hoodlums... probably doing work for... for... a bad... dude... yeah...</i>I think, and I sit in a chair and write a small letter down. 'Brutish Conkeldurr at tall building in Foggy Plains. Possible whereabouts of the thieves of the artifact, and it could be their bodyguard. Broke my leg, nearly killed me, to locate the building climb the mountain before you reach the fog and search for a very tall building. Take caution, very strong, but also very clumsy. Reward of 500 poke will be given if confirmation that it's dead, or at least locked up.' I tack it to the board and limp out. I look at the guild again. I didn't know why I hated it so much, I just did. It looked like a place where thugs might be.<br/><br/>I hobble around town, and wrap some cloth around my bum leg, and sit on a crate, open my bag, and take out the old human technologies, and yell ""Auctioning relics from the far past!"" and wait for a crowd to come over, and I begin thinking<i>How much could I make off of these?</i>as I take out the 2 rectangles that unfolded and had a clear and shiny substance on the front. I look around, and make sure anyone who wanted to bid was here, and clear my throat. ""Welcome to my auction! This here is a... um... a... an antique... uh... berry squishing device! Never used before! See, you just put the berry here and close this top rectangle on it, making a paste that goes great on food!"" I say as I point to the middle of the bottom rectangle and pushed the top one down on top of it.<br/><br/>((The 'berry squishing device' is really a laptop.))"

I then look over to Celes who was apologizing profusely about sleeping in the same bed as me, and add ""Uh... don't worry, it was kinda like I had an extra blanket."" I kinda hoped that she wouldn't hate me for this incident, after all, she seemed nice... heh.<i>Great, there I go again, thinking about Celes. I have to focus on missions if I'm ever going to get good at this.</i>I think as I dare to walk on the splintery floor. Luckily, no splinters stuck into my foot as I escaped the wooden deathtrap that was known as our team's room, and I made it to the nice, polished, and splinter-free (if a bit cold) hallway, living to see another day. There were already several pokemon filling the hallway, almost all of them being a completely different species from the last... or the next. I eventually make it to the little circular room where the guildmaster usually filled us in on what to do for the day. He was awake... I think... and was standing next to Archie, who was reading from a stack of papers. ""Ah, Spruce, there you are. I've got a mission for you."" Archie says to me. This would normally be a happy occasion, however, the tone of his voice, or, rather, Archie's voice in general quickly put a damper on that. Regardless, I approached the dino-bird, who almost looked as though he was angry with me... oddly enough, that wasn't the case. As soon as I approached Archie, he said ""Rosebud, a Keckleon shopkeeper, has gone missing... apparently, she was taken for ransom, as we've gotten a note saying that we should give this... Team Skull... about five hundred thousand poke if we ever want to see her again."" I gave a shocked look, as he simply continued, apparently ignoring me, adding ""Thankfully, Rosebud was able to send an SOS mail, revealing her location as somewhere in Scale City... oh, and, you should go alone. I'll give the rest of your team other missions... that's all for today, and here's the SOS mail we got."" he then hands me the mail, which had pretty much everything he said written on it, as well as a reward of 800 poke... and something else. ""Uh... why am I going alone?"" I ask Archie, who seems mad at that, shouting ""Because if you go with an entire team, Team Skull will know that you're not handing them money! Oh, I almost forgot..."" He then gives me an empty bag, or, rather, a bag full of geopebbles, that had a pokedollar stamp on the front. I take the bag, and hesitantly head off... on my own...<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Apparently, I fell asleep somewhere in the hallway leading to the guest's bedroom... not exactly the safest, or most comfortable place to sleep, but, thankfully, nobody seemed to step on me while I went through my utterly dreamless sleep. It was my first one of those in years, and I always thought those were the weirdest ones. I yawned as I got up and I looked around only to see that Carrol was still asleep, Hex was sweating enough for me to think she was a water type, and speaking of those, Josh appeared to be panicking for some weird reason. ""Another day, another adventure!"" I say to everyone enthusiastically. I then add ""I, um, read about that phrase somewhere... apparently, some cubone used that as his motto... really helped him get through some of his worst days."" Of course, nobody asked me why I said that, but nobody had to, as it was unlikely that anyone knew exactly where that phrase originated from, as it was pretty obscure Wildvines trivia. I then hear someone in the next room shout ""Who the HECK is up at this hour!?"" it was Terra, who still looked really tired, and was holding a plush Axew in her left hand. I held in my laughter, as something about the way she looked at me made me think that she would destroy me if I ever decided to laugh at... well... her little friend. She then said ""Well... I guess we might as well start on that egg thing, huh? I'll get Blaze, and then we can head off."" She grabbed a backpack from a nearby wall, and ran towards the egg in the middle of the room. Sometime before she picked up the egg, she apparently put the plush toy in her bag, as it was gone when she took the egg. She then headed off in a direction that wasn't towards the cave's exit... which was odd... ""Uh... Terra, are you sure that you're going the right way?"" She turned around, glared at me for a moment, and said ""Yes. This is a secret exit that should lead us to somewhere near Scale City. We're going to go past that place, and head north. After we scale Mt. Dragoncoil, we should start heading north-east, and that will take us to our destination."" After that long explanation, I simply followed... it seemed as though she knew where she was going... even if she did lead us to a pitch-black, cramped cave area where I could almost swear something was growling at me."

""Okay, now I know you're too stupid to start welding. Spruce, I'm gonna-""<br/><br/>By the time I had turned to him, he was exiting our room. As soon as he opened the door, we heard several footsteps and some chatter going on outside. ""Agh. I don't even like the fact I'm able to twitch my screws."" I jiggled the pair before holding them firm, not really knowing who I was talking to at this point. I tried following Spruce, leaving Kamina by himself as I mid-way between the partially chipped ceiling and smooth floor.<i>I sometimes wonder how two days can quickly change someone. Oh man, I like the cold. Doesn't make me melt or anything.</i>I let out a sigh, floating above several Pokemon as I entered the lobby by forcing two doors open.<i>I guess today's our break. I'm still sore from yesterday.</i>You know how you get scars? Pokemon usually go 'oh wow, you're so manly' when they see them, although... everything was rather quiet today. Not too much activity in the lobby, neither in the hallway. Instead of the usually mess left behind by Muks and Goomies, it was polished, wooden floor. The counters were rather sleepy, while most of the chairs in the lobby were barely filled up.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, I was quiet visibly disturbed by a... certain Pokemon. Hasty writing, bit of blood, obviously got himself into some trouble. As soon as he left, I began floating over to the board by myself. Although, a Porygon (which nearly caused me to blurt out 'DAVIS!') came over to the board first. I followed, taking a look around and finding that note. ""Oh man."" Strangely, the Porygon didn't sound... robotic, unlike Davis. Heck, his voice was similar to mine. But, the differences included being a Porygon, having a strange blue-black colouration, and what appeared to be speakers in his skin... as well as some sort of circular device on his back. ""That guy obviously got himself into some trouble."" I started staring at the Porygon, if not leering at him. Looking down at him, I asked him something that would scare me...<br/><br/>""Hey. What's your name?""<br/><br/>""Hold on. Just need to warn you that you're gonna go through a lot. Like, A LOT. 'Whenever a pet goes missing, the owner replaces him.'"" With that, he left, turning and walking to a secluded area of the lobby. I followed him frantically, into a room and finding... a dead end. It was the room where guild members teleported into, although only a snoring Bisharp was available. That Porygon simply disappeared.<br/><br/>""So much for hallucinations."" Maybe he popped down into a parallel universe. I came back out the room. finding the same old quiet lobby. ""Hm... that was quite creepy."""

""Is everyone here?"" I ask. There were several pokemon. Pawniards, a lucario, a raichu, a froslass, and a timburr...<i> ugh, I'll never be able to look at that species in the same way ever again...</i>I think as I look around. ""Starting bid for the berry smashing device is 350 Poke!"" I say to the crowd. Someone raises there hand and I call out ""350 from the... Lucario!"" and I ask ""400, 400 anyone?"" and the Froslass raises her hand. ""400 from the Froslass!"" and continue raising until I reach 750, then no one but the 2nd Pawniard wanted it. ""Going once, twice, sold!"" I yell out, and I take the 750, and give him the device. I look in my backpack and take out a box with more of the clear material on a small side of it. I flip open something on the side and say ""It's... uh... um... a box! What does it do? It... lets you see things that are far away with this side thingy here!"" and I call out for 100. One person raises there hand, so I raise it to 150, and the Lucario raises its hand. and I call out 200, no one wanted it at that time. ""Going once, twice, and... sold!"" I say again and I hobble over to him and take the 150 and give him the 'advanced telescope'. I take out a small dinky little thing with something weird and wiry inside of it. I look at this and fiddle with it, and say ""Find out what this does, I dunno."" I call out ""100, anyone?"" and the Raichu raises his hand. No one wanted it other than him and he won the auction. I toss it to him, and he gives me 100 Poke.<br/><br/>I shrug and think ""Might as well go edit my note to fit a better price. I don't need anything right now, other than something to fix my leg. I get off the crate, put all the Poke in my backpack and hop back to the guild and edit my note. I think about how much I had and reset the reward to 1000 Poke. I didn't need to throw away all of my money, whether I had it before or after the auction. I leave the building, and head over to the station. I hand my boss all my papers, and he sees the hasty writing and the giant jagged line one one paper and shakes his head. ""We can't accept this!"" He says. I sigh, and say ""I nearly got killed,"" and he replies with ""You agreed to get the case."" I ask ""Are there any other cases at all?"" and he says ""No. All the others are already taken. We could assign you a partner to help you with the case, but it will take... a while. Maybe by the time it's finished, we'd have one ready. Sorry."" I look at him through squinted eyes and almost utter the words 'I quit,' but I didn't I only said ""I-i-i-iii..."" and he asks ""You what, Mr. Lennard?"" and I cover my mouth and say ""Nothing, sir,"" and I bolt out of his office and out the door of the station.

So brave to do this alone but... also very risky... it might end up as a suicide mission, and she knew she could not let him do that... but she also knew how the fact that he was suppose to go alone in this.

The wings picked her up, displacing air from under her, and she fluttered up.<br/><br/>Hex followed Terra and Anthony into the cramped, cold cave. The close details of the dream were already beginning to fade, as was the warmth in her face and the growing sweat. It involved fire. She always hated fire. It had plagued the young combee her entire life. Even in the forest, fire types were always trouble. They would show, their white hot flames flickering, and start a growing dry fire in the area. It always took the combined efforts of some water wild pokemon to stamp out the fire, dousing it down and scaring away the troublesome fire types. There was always that crispy, bitter ash smell after the fire that she despised. Her hate for fire didn't help when she was weak to it. The slightest ember, the closest flickering flame, and her wings would be set alight and burned to a blackened, charred crisp. Fire was always a problem. It could set the hive alight, or it could damage the soldier Beedrill, or it could cripple a scout, or it could do something even nastier. She continued on down the cramped cave, forced to fly low in order not to hit the stalagmites hanging off of the ceiling. Terra seemed to know where she was going, but Hex had no idea how she managed to get through all this hard stone and rock. Jagged and rough edges covered the walls and ceilings, dangerous to anyone too big for the small tunnel. Water dripped from the roof of the tunnel, coming down in steady drips, the sound of the<i>clink</i>echoing down the otherwise silent tunnel. There was a soft, dull footstep, a wet cough, and occasional shuffle. It was rather awkward in the cave, having to huddle low to avoid the cramped walls and roof.<br/><br/>""Pretty small tunnel."" She commented, trying to break the silence. ""Is there something else in here? Feels like there's something else in here."" A low, gristly hum filled the cavern, like a white noise.

My boss walks by in the middle of the drawing and yells ""What in Arceus' name are you doing?! You can't be slacking on the job! Stop drawing, and get to work!"" and I jump from being startled and my pencil flies up and hits me on my head. I grab it and erase the whole drawing and slide the stack of papers over and drum my fingers on my desk. I get a new sheet and write down some other reporter's paper, since his was rejected too, for horrendous handwriting. Not fit for the newspapers. I put it on the stack and grab it, stand up, and limp over to the Smeargle that somehow got all the papers to stick together, no matter what. I sit in a chair in his space, and ask him how he gets them to stick together.<br/><br/>""Well, you see, my tail's secretions are twice as sticky as the normal smeargle's, making it pretty much useless for painting, but perfect for this type of job. I just coat it, and it gives our papers the signature green 'binding',"" he says.<br/><br/>I nod, and say ""Oh, okay. I have to go talk to the boss,"" and I stand up. I walk-run to my boss's office and wave to him nervously. ""Hi, sir... um... I-I'd appreciate it if... if you wouldn't yell at me in front of the whole station, please..."" I say to him.<br/><br/>""Excuse me, what?"" he asks, looking at me as if I had a cold.<br/><br/>""I said that I would l-like it if you wouldn't yell at me like that, sir,"" I say, looking at him.<br/><br/>""Oh... come, sit,"" he says, pointing at the seat in front of his desk. I walk to it and hop up into it, and sit down. ""You... disapprove? ... I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings?"" he says sarcastically. ""Well, I'm glad you brought this up, because I believe that a business surely can't run properly without communication.""<br/><br/>""Right, right, yes,"" I say, nodding. I look at him, sweating and tapping my fingers. He was meandering around, picking up and putting down things, moving things and closing cabinets.<br/><br/>""Well, in that case, let's make one thing clear. What did I tell you the very first day you applied for a job here?"" he asks, and I don't say anything in my nervousness. ""Let's review. I told you the very first day you applied here that your thoughts. Are nothing. Your opinions. Are NOTHING. And then you get the idea to come into MY office and try to tell me--""<br/><br/>I cut him off and stand up. ""This is a bad time,"" I say, getting ready to rush out the door and back to my workplace.<br/><br/>""WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU LITTLE UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT? LET ME MAKE ONE THING CLEAR YOU NIMROD, YOU ARE NOTHING!"" He yells. He grabs a binder and looks at me, and asks ""You see this? This means more to the news station than you do! But does it whine when I do this?!"" and he throws it at me. I cover my eyes and face and I yelp as it hits me. ""YOU MEAN NOTHING. THESE PENCILS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU, THESE PAPERCLIPS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU!"" he yells, throwing pencils at me, and paperclips at me. I cover my head again and flinch. ""YOU MISERABLE LITTLE CRYBABY, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE, THEN LEAVE!"" he yells, pushing me out of the chair and into the door. ""There are tons of people who would kill for your spot, who would die to be here! You little pansy! Why can't you show any backbone, HUH?"" he yells. ""I don't appreciate your yelling, sir,"" he mocks, in a whiny voice. ""You gotta be a man to do this job!"" he yells as he throws a book at me, and I open the door and leave his office. I breathe wavily, and walk back to my desk, and get my stuff and put it in my backpack, then walk out the door. I was shocked, since he hasn't yelled at me like THAT in almost a year.<br/><br/>I shiver and walk down the steps carefully, to not hurt my leg and ask if there were places I could apply for a job at, since I knew I was getting fired for this. Someone points me to... ugh. That place. The 'guild'. I would only go there if I was fired for good, and couldn't find a job anywhere else. I rub my eyes and think about it. I didn't notice my skin had changed color to a light red from the abuse and the humiliation. I quickly go back to a green and rub my eyes again. I wasn't crying, my eyes were just teary."

""Awake, of course, yes, that I am. Now buzz away."" With sudden force Shannon's neck swung from a curl around his body into its normal upright pose, still humming, blearily blocking sound from his own ears. Pushing his weight into a drowsy stance, he forced his eyelids to stretch open, wondering if he could gauge how long he'd overslept. Orientation was valuable. However long the delay, the consequence of his wary night had raised its head, and Shannon never backed down from consequences.<i>Josh-slash-Matt are here.</i>""Good day, if day it were. The cave blots out the sky.""<i>Alright, greeting enough. Hex, Anthony, they're gone. No surprise. Crater? Nowhere, least of all behind every shadow. Stop jumping.</i>Shaking his head to punctuate every thought wasn't sufficient to clear it, and cold water was no shock to a species that plays in snowdrifts. Shannon would have to invoke some other morning ritual to tell his body it was time to wake. ""I'll go now. To wash my face. A minute, please, and fill me in when I return."" He lumbered off.<br/><br/>Resting his head under the cave's pool as his capacious lungs held on and his headlights played sparkling fuchsia games with the ripples in the water, Shannon had a chance to recall. The term 'Team ACT' meant little to him, but much of Team Scarab had been quick to forgive Crater when it had surfaced. Quick to swoon over the nostalgic décor as well, in Anthony's case. Times changed, however, and Shannon had remained sceptical about the massive hermit's current state. For one, he was hiding. Deterring intruders- Painfully so- and keeping a low key... Yet he had guest rooms. Of course, there could be many reasons for that, but the confession of Blaze's presence (<i>Why would a spirit give itself a 'name' like that? Did Crater name them?</i>) struck Shannon as all the more dubious.<i>'He's a Victini that I, um, found over near the beach'</i>did not ring of innocence in Shannon's ears. No idiot has ever earned a Master's badge, however, so in all likelihood, Crater was hiding considerable intellect. The strange, suspicious encounter had boiled in Shannon's head amidst an eventful day, but there had been no night sky to coax in sleep for a former plainsdweller. He remembered looking up, many times, expecting to see a spiked figure looming in the doorway.<br/><br/>Shannon finished dousing himself and stepped back towards Josh/Matt. His excursion had lasted maybe a minute or two, but acknowledging the reason for his scant hours of sleep was helpful. ""Alright, I'm done,"" once he had looped his bag around his neck again.<br/><br/>* * *<br/><br/>""Apologies for our delay, and hello Hex and Anthony, and morning Terra, too!"" projected Shannon down the narrow passage that the adopted Mawile was already guiding the Combee and Goomy through, deliberately penetrating the not-quite-silence of the cave. This, then, was where he'd be playing catch-up, though he wasn't as far behind as he'd thought. It wouldn't be an easy fit for him, nor Matt, and although Matt was somewhat amorphous, he had a large bucket to haul down as well. ""No trouble with that bucket there? Then I'll follow your tail."" Shannon took up the rear, lowering his head."

I can do this.</i>I think as I head off to the north from the guild, and end up in some sort of plains area, one that seemed to be much brighter, most likely due to a lack of trees, and tall objects in general that would otherwise cast a large shadow. The grass felt nice under my feet, as I had expected, yet, there seemed to be a warmth to the grass for some weird reason. There wasn't enough wind to make the grass sort of blow around, and ahead of me, there was a mareep. These pokemon were usually very docile, and would even venture into Allure town from time to time, however, this mareep seemed to have a mean look in its eye. It launched a thundershock attack at me, dealing minor damage, and I struck back at it with a vine whip... a move of mine that seemed to constantly get stronger for some reason. That attack wasn't enough to knock out the thing, however, it did call on its friends, a litleo and a buneary, making it three against one. For some reason, I could hear the faintest, sort of flopping sound behind me, but I thought nothing of it, and continued by attacking the litleo with some sort of... weird... grey vine whip? For some reason, the attack actually seemed to do decent damage to the fiery lion cub, who used ember on me as a retaliation. The fire hit me, and hurt quite a bit thanks to the fact that I was a grass type, even if my discoloration would suggest otherwise. The buneary started saying nice things about me, for some weird, unknown reason, and was moving around in a weird way, as well... I had no idea what, er, she was trying to pull off, but it didn't really work all that well.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Finally, everyone seemed to be awake, and following Terra and I through the cave, that is, after Terra and I say ""Good morning,"" to Carrol, who had just joined us. Hex asked if something else was in here, and Terra responded with a short ""Yes."" she then elaborated, continuing with ""Don't worry, though, Dad calls them 'guard dogs'... they already know me, and wouldn't attack anyone that I'm with,"" the growling doesn't stop, and I simply continue through the dank, dark, cramped cave, which didn't seem to last for too long. I then wondered something...<i>Hey... Crater, back when he was on Team ACT... he would never attack someone like that, not even a wild pokemon. Terra seems a little... well... rough, as well... I wonder if simply being in a mystery dungeon has some sort of effect on pokemon.</i>with Crater's odd behavior during our fight against him, it seemed like a possibility, and one that we couldn't ignore, however, with such little evidence, I couldn't simply say that to my team, they'd laugh more than usual. I had to be patient, and possibly even stay back in a few fights against what used to be city pokemon just to see if there even is an effect, and if there is one, what it might be. After that thought, a trap door opens up, and a huge city shows itself from the distance. The place made Allure town look like a tiny little settlement in the middle of some mystery dungeon, or something. ""Whoa..."" I end up saying out loud, to which Terra said ""Yeah, it sure is bigger than my cave, isn't it? Helpers, welcome to Scale City. Just a fair warning, this place is filled to the brim with dragon types, so... take that into account."" she then heads towards the place, and I notice her axew plush doll sticking out of her backpack slightly. The egg, however, was perfectly concealed in the bag and wasn't visible to anyone... which may have suggested that she wants to keep the thing hidden from everyone else. Despite already being visible, Scale City was actually somewhat far away, somehow... at least, I didn't get there as soon as I thought I did, and it didn't seem to really be getting any closer, which was really strange to me."

Seeing him getting hurt.... Just then when she saw the buneary.... a unknown rage started to form inside of her. She did not know from where that came from. It was so much that... she could not stand it. She suddenly rushes forwards, running towards the buneary and sends out a surprise Swift attack at it, hoping to knock it off right here and now.<br/>""Spruce! What is the idea of leaving the guild alone like that! We are a team aren't we?"" she then says, looking at him. She knew it might be a solo mission... but she could maybe at least convince him to at least tag along until they would arrive at the city.

I knew that he and the other bosses of the different branches were already discussing whether or not I should go. I snicker and bolt off as fast as I could on a bad leg out of Allure town. Before I leave, I ask someone if they knew how to get to Scale City from this exit. I am told all the directions to get to Scale City and feel something in my stomach. I wasn't nauseous or gassy, but there was an odd sensation there as I left.<br/><br/>As I traverse across the Sunswept Plains, I go invisible so I wouldn't have to fight anything. I didn't need my leg to be hurt even worse. It got increasingly hot and eventually felt as if I was in the crossfire of a Charizard using flamethrower. Luckily I wasn't, I was just not used to that much heat. I flick sweat off my forehead as I get out of the Sunswept Plains, and approach Scale City and look up at the mountain. I go back to my normal color and cough. ""Wow. I've never been this hot before,"" I mutter as I enter Scale City.<br/><br/>I ask someone where and what the new building was, and they said ""Down the road, to the left and it should just be right there."" I walk to the end of the road, to the left, and see ""GRAND OPENING!"" on a banner on a building. It was a restaurant. I write down 'Hello, this is William Lennard at the grand opening of a restaurant in Scale City. It probably has good food and all that, and everyone who has ate there has given it good ratings, but I have something to say to Mr. Masda, my boss. I quit, you furry, shapeshifting, asshole. It is not acceptable to throw anything you can find at your employees, you abusive dolt. You'll never see me again.' and I laugh heartily. I fold everything up and put it in my backpack. I decide that I was going to stay here for a little bit. I didn't come here just to write down a small thing about how I quit.<i>Maybe I could find a job or something here, but that would mean that I'd also have to get a house here...</i>I think.<br/><br/>I scratch my side and look at all the dragon types walking around.<i> I was, pretty much, the only normal type here and I would probably get discriminated against.</i>I think, because I had heard about bad reviews from the hotel because one of the owners `wasn't a dragon type.` I walk around and see some people staring at me. They weren't used to pokemon that weren't dragon types. I hurry myself up and hear footsteps behind me. I start sweating and feel as if I was about to get mugged. I look behind me, and see a group of 5 dragon types walking my way. My eyes widen and I run around a corner and look for a building that kinda had the same color as my stomach stripe and find one all the way down the street and run for it, going invisible and ditching my backpack. I see them search everywhere and not find me. As soon as I'm in the clear, I go back to normal and start bawling. I don't know how many times I nearly died in the past few days. I stand up and grab my backpack and search for any place that I could stay for a little that I wouldn't get beat up at. I sit on a bench and rub my eyes, and eventually stop and look around. I think I saved that Happiny from getting shanked and robbed. I now knew why she would rather do something that would get her fired than go to Scale City."

Josh could have easily fit through without the bucket, but unfortunately he needed it.<br/>A growling sound could be heard, and Josh had the feeling that someone was watching him. He was starting to think it was just his imagination, until Hex mentioned it. ""Is there something else in here? Feels like there's something else in here.""<br/>""Yes."" Terra said.

I continue checking out the town, going in shops and browsing, talking with the owners, and then to every other place, like the hotel, and the bank.

Oh, man, you guys actually fell for that, huh, gahahaha!"" He points the broom at a Vulpix, shivering in fear. ""You should've seen the look on your face, dude! Here, take a gummi, ya earned it for the scare you went through...as for everyone else, geez, you're wicked responsive for a bunch of rookies! Never had a clean-up crew this awesome!"" He smiles brightly, and although you can't see his eyes under that tacky looking red-blue lens'd eyewear, you know he's excited.<br/><br/>First night of a bunch of rookies - clean up after dinner is a big deal to Breen, the only time he gets to be in charge!"

She then, still somehow angry, asked why I was going alone. ""I, uh, Archie... he, um, said that I should do this alone."" I stutter as I say, later adding ""Now's not the time to talk, anyways. I'll let you follow me to Scale city, but once I get there, you should head back to the guild, okay?"" I then narrowly dodge another ember, one that could have ended me if it had hit, and counter with that weird, grey whip again.<i>Hm... maybe I should give this move a name... Void Whip? Yeah, that will work.</i>I think as I make sure that the whip hits its mark, thankfully knocking out the litleo who was attacking us, leaving just me and the mareep, who backed away a little before letting loose with a thundershock attack to Celes. I was in no condition to take the attack, myself, so I didn't get in the way of it, settling on one other option. Something sort of snapped, and I lashed out at the thing with a vine whip and was about twice as powerful as my usual whip. The mareep lied unconscious on the ground from my final attack. ""Uh... are you alright, Celes?"" I ask Celes, who probably just got hit by the attack. I then recall my goal, and head towards Scale City again, making sure that Celes was following me, this time."

The cloths that she bought.... she would need a bit of time to work on them, she knew , but in the end they will be perfect for what she was going to do. Also seeing Spruce beat up that mareep like he did kinda made her feel... happy... She looked at him and blushed a bit, before shaking her head quickly. What the heck was she even thinking... Was she in.... love? Seriously? No.... that can't be it.... she could not be in love or anything... but with how she reacted with that buneary... she was starting to have second thoughts. She looked at Spruce, her fur still slightly puffed, as she then shakes and removes the electricity in her fur, growling a bit at this.<br/>""I might go shopping before heading to the guild, just saying."" she then says."

Apparently, they had ""Guard Dogs"" which they kept around to scare off intruders. They seemed to work pretty well. She hadn't seen a wild pokemon since they're first time in the chasm. After a long ways of traveling, they finally arrived at the surface. In the distance, a lone, massive city stood tall. It's buildings were not built from wood, however. They appeared to be made out of hard, cold rock, similar to the material that a Graveler or Golem was made up of. The architecture style was quite interesting, also. Allure Town seemed to stick with smaller, more simple houses, while Scale City had towering spikes of rock. That, however, was not the only peculiar thing about the town. The only inhabitants seemed to be dragons all around. A town with the name scale city, she presumed, would probably only have that type. Several Dragonite flew in and out of the town, flying high above. Haxorous, Garchomp, and Flygon cluttered the city, flying in and through the streets, peering out of windows and staring down at the city. It was quite the sight, considering most of her time was spent in an enclosed space.<br/><br/>""Wow.."" Hex said, looking over the looming city in the distance. She glanced behind her, looking at the others. For a small moment, it seemed Matt and Josh had fallen behind the group, but they quickly picked up their pace. ""I've never seen a place like this. It's huge.""<br/><br/>She briefly fluttered ahead of the group, a habit which she had begun to do more and more as time passed. She took a quick, overhead glance at the city. Hex flew high, her wings whistling and shuttering quickly as she drifted into the air. Overhead, the city was still surprisingly massive, taking up quite a bit of space around the mountain. It was amazing that the dragon types had somehow figured out a way to create such amazing structures. It would've taken a pokemon with great prowess or intelligence to create such a city. Her amazement to Allure Town was completely nothing compared to this city. She soared back down to ground level, fluttering alongside the group of explorers. ""This place is awesome!"" She exclaimed, looking over the city giddily. She cleared her throat. ""I mean, this city looks like a wonder of architecture."" She glanced at Terra's backpack, the Axew plush sticking it's head out of the bag. Hidden underneath, the Victini egg lay. The egg of a legendary would be pretty valuable. If she didn't hide it, it would quickly be stolen by thieves. The Axew plush made a good cover for it."

Though I would've said he needed time alone, that seemingly didn't suffice. ""We can follow him, we can't interact with him, so please don't try to do anything else other than exploding in enthusiasm.""<br/><br/>Then, I finally noticed my magnet. How do magnets work again? ""AaahH-"" Before I could actually go from a quiet shriek to a eardrum-blasting scream (which I was pretty sure only me an Kamina heard (AND DAMN PRETTY SURE)), I had successfully clamped my magnet to myself, keeping my 'mouth' shut. ""Right then."" This was muffled, so don't expect anyone to understand. As I looked down at my magnet, it seemed to... well, the more I looked at it, the more my vision kept pulsating. The magnet probably did too, but at the moment I didn't want to freak myself out further. After five seconds of looking, I had gotten used to it and finally noticed Kamina's presence. ""Yeah."" I said, jerking the magnet away from my eye. ""Just don't do anything stupid."" I realised that was an understatement, but at least his behaviour was somewhat useful at times."

I then hear Celes say that she was going to go shopping once we get to Scale City, and, after chuckling a little, I say ""Yeah, go ahead, I'm not going to stop you, just don't follow me after we get there."" I then whistle some tune as I head towards the city, with the trio of knocked out pokemon behind me. For some reason, Vine used to whistle this tune... he said something about how it 'reminded him of his roots' or something similar. It was a relatively simple tune, so it wasn't that hard to whistle along to it as I walked through this pleasantly warm plain. I almost lost my focus as another pokemon appeared, this time, it was a lillipup this time around, and it attacked with tackle, knocking me back a ways, and obviously hurting me somewhat. I then countered with vine whip, which didn't seem to be enough to knock him out. He then threw something at me, some sort of seed, apparently, however, I caught it, and noticed the weird design on it, which included a red X over a sort of eye shape. The seed's main color was black with the eye design being a bright green... was this an X-eye seed? It sure looked like one.<i>Good thing I wasn't dumb enough to eat this thing.</i>I think as I put the seed in my bag... who knows, it may just come in handy some day.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I was simply awe-struck at the sight of the city as soon as I actually entered it. The buildings were huge, the pokemon were huge, and yet, it almost never seemed to be too much. The road was paved with some sort of cold, grey rock, which made it the worst part of the city. ""Ah, good, we're here."" Terra said to all of us as soon as we got here. She then added ""Okay, I know you all want to see the city, so, we'll get one day to do that. Well, one day, and three thousand poke each, courtesy of my dad's rescue work."" She then hands Hex, Josh and I the money, and looks off to the right. ""See that giant hotel? That's where we'll all meet once it starts to get dark. They know me there, and I can probably get us all a room."" she explains as she heads over to that hotel. Something about that hotel bothered me... the sign, more specifically. It had a picture of a Salamence and a sceptile for some reason... why a sceptile? I was convinced that there weren't any non-dragon types in the city, and yet, there it was... 'Chad and Terra's' the sign read... but wasn't Terra a mawile, and not a sceptile? Was there something she was hiding from us all these minutes? Something that she needed to keep hidden from everyone? Did that mean that Crater has a son-in-law that he never mentioned? Could they possibly have children? If so, does that make Crater a grandfather, already? She must have seen the look on my face, as Terra laughed, and said ""No, I don't own the place, we used to sleep here a lot... and my dad rescued Terra, who again, isn't me, from some cave once before,"" she then simply continued on, chuckling as she walked towards the admittedly fancy hotel. I then stopped looking at the sign, and started to wander around town, wondering what I should spend my money on... after all, she gave all of us three thousand poke, and I'm sure that none of us have ever had that much before."

If she wanted to fallow him afterwards, she will need to find a way to hide her identity, and she would need to be agile and quick. Well.. guess she will have some work ahead to say the least. She looked at the lillipup that got hit by the swift attack and that seemed obviously mad at her. It then used tackle and knocked her away a couple of feets. She then jumped on it and used hidden power, full force, and knocks the little dog out of commission. She sighed, and shakes off some dirt.<br/>""We should continue on now. Dang thing...."" she says a bit annoyed.... She just wanted to get to the city soon and prepare herself.

I was pretty much a tourist. I snicker at this thought and walk outside of the gates, down into Sunswept Plains, and come across a Zigzagoon. It was grazing on some dried up grass, and I get myself psyched up for the fight, and walk up, then use Feint Attack, and it falls over, and gets back up and looks at me, obviously angry that I had just interrupted its meal. It tackles me, knocking the wind out of me and I cough as I stand up, and I scratch it, making it whine, then it tackles me again. It leaves me on the ground for a few minutes and I eventually get back up, using Feint Attack again. This makes it faint, and I smile, proud of myself for defeating a wild and standing in triumph with my foot over it's head and laugh again, walking southward.<br/><br/>Instead of Allure Town, I accidentally walk right into treasure town. I know I made a mistake from the shops, they weren't the ones in Allure Town, and this town had no bank. I pay it no mind, deciding that I could do some shopping in Treasure Town for today. A... different... kind of Treecko bumped past me, seeming to be in a rush. It looked like he had something red on his eyes and lower eyelids, and I realize that... that that red stuff was blood! He ran towards the Treecko, and saw that his back was covered in a strange pattern...<i>The hell is wrong with this Treecko?</i>I think, looking at it, and tap it on the shoulder. ""Hey, where are you going?"" I ask him.<br/><br/>-Samuel-<br/>""I'm hurrying to the guild, I need to join right now!"" I say. ""C'mon! Wanna join the team I make?"" I ask, looking at the Kecleon. There were still stains from the last crying, and I bring the Kecleon up the hill, and see the guild and get excited, jumping up and down. ""Wow! So this is the place? It looks like a small tent,"" I say. I enter the tent, and see a ladder that went down.<br/><br/>I grab the Kecleon by the elbow and push him down the ladder, and he seems to have taken quite the tumble. He was screaming most of the way down, but I heard something like wood being smacked. I yell down ""IS IT SAFE?!"" as I grab the ladder, looking down. The Kecleon was hanging down near the end of the ladder with one hand, the other busy clutching his shoulder and his legs flailing around, searching for something to touch. I giggle at the thought of what it must have looked like to anyone in whatever room that ladder went to, just two green legs kicking. I crawl down the ladder, to the Kecleon, who was now too tired to move his legs and I start to pry his fingers off the ladder step he was holding. He yells as I do, falling down about 3 feet, making a loud thump, and I crawl down after him. Once I get there, everyone was staring at us, and I look back at them, and hear some violent flapping noises from the floor below.<br/><br/>A Chatot comes up and in a harsh, frustrated tone asks ""What's all this ruckus about?!"" as he looks at us, up and down. He sees my stains on my eyelids and cheeks, and yells ""Holy arceus, what is wrong with you?!"" and I wince at the voice.<br/><br/>""Sorry, I was just very excited to come here and join, sir,"" I apologize, and say ""My name is Samuel Grayson, and this here is... is... uh... my partner, uhm..."" and I look at the Kecleon.<br/><br/>""William Lennard. Nice to meet you,"" says the Kecleon, extending a hand.<br/><br/>The Chatot backs away a little and squawks, then makes a loud, gruff noise and says ""Wait right here,"" as he goes down another ladder. I blush at the sudden realization of how abrupt my arrival was. I scratch my neck awkwardly and say ""Sorry everyone..."" as I wait for the Chatot. I eventually cover my face as everyone was still looking at me, some with shock, curiosity, or a little pity. The Chatot comes back up and grabs my arm, and takes me down the ladder with the Kecleon, and takes me into a room on the side.<br/><br/>Inside, I see a Wigglytuff. I stare at him and wave, and he asks ""Hello, friends! What are you here for?""<br/><br/>""To make a guild, sir..."" I say, fumbling my words. ""I mean team!"" I say, looking at the Wigglytuff directly in the eyes.<br/><br/>""And what will the name be?"" Chatot asks.<br/><br/>""I think we'd like it to be called Team... uh... I didn't think about that. Um... How about Team Green?"" I stutter.<br/><br/>""Team green..."" Chatot mutters, looking at us. ""Eugh..."" he says as he looks at my face. ""Do some washing up, and get a little rest.""<br/><br/>I nod and he hands us badges that confirmed us to be part of the guild. ""New friends, haha! Friends, friends, friends!"" Wigglytuff sings. I smirk at his bad singing and Chatot shows us where our rooms will be. He leaves after a while of boring talk, and one-sided biased chatter. I stand up and rub off some of the old blood from my cheek and feel a punch in the back of the head. I turn around, rubbing my head, and growl in a deep tone at the Kecleon and use Thunder Shock on him before leaving my room, and leaving the guild to go tell all my friends about how I was in the guild now."

So for goodness sake, don't give him them a romantic dinner as soon as soon as they enter the city-""<br/><br/>""Oh Arceus."" That probably just set off Kamina.

""Do you even LISTEN to me!?"" I hissed sharply, trying to sound quiet because alerting Spruce would jeopradise his own mission.<br/><br/>Then, I realised his mission involved Scale City. And he was quite a fair distance from here, yet let alone there. I didn't need to be quiet. ""DO YOU EVEN LISTEN TO ME!?"" I repeated, finally letting my voice 'relax.'

The place was huge, and there were dragons all over the place. ""Whoa..."" was all I could say at this time. As I wandered around, I bumped into something slimy... wait, that slime was familiar. I look down to see Anthony, who was holding a big bag of money for some reason. ""Um, so, how have you been doing?"" I ask Anthony, who simply smiles and says ""Great,"" that seemed to be the end of our conversation, and he walked off towards some sort of clothing store.<i>Pfft, who needs 'fashionable' clothes? It's just going to be trash in five minutes anyways.</i>I think as I watch him head into the store, money in... wait, he doesn't have hands, does he? Either way, it seems like someone just wasted whatever money they could scrape together on something that probably won't even help them. This place was almost too much for me with its buildings that look taller than the tallest of all pokemon, the number of residents, and even the size of the city, itself. It was nothing like Allure Town, and was somehow bigger than both it and Treasure Town combined. As I looked at the buildings, I noticed a hotel... I'd probably end up staying there if I can't find the crook before it gets dark, which was likely given the sheer size of the place.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I continued wandering around the place, unable to find anything that I'd want to spend my poke on when, out of nowhere, I bump into something scaly... well, that was kinda normal in a place like this, but this didn't exactly feel like dragon scales. I look up to see Spruce, except... he was grey now for some weird reason. Snapped out of his fantasy or whatever it was he was doing, he asked me ""Um, so how have you been doing?"" I smile at remembering that I'm going to stay at a nice hotel, have a ton of cash to spend, and get to stay in this awesome city and eventually I respond with a simple ""Great,"" something then catches my eye, and I head towards the shop that did that. It was a small clothing store that seemed to boast 'the best clothing around!', and even a bold enough claim as 'can even help you win fights!' I had to see that to believe it, so I entered. Inside, there was an Altaria who woke up as soon as I opened the door, and explained ""Ack! Sorry, it's just that, um, well, I haven't had too many customers lately. Welcome to Amanda's Threads! I'm Amanda, by the way."" She then flies from the counter over towards me, and inquiries ""Can I interest you in a fashionable helmet to replace the one you currently have? Oh, or, maybe something tough, like that old human army supposedly was? Hm... you know, dragons like you could always go for a thick sweater, never know when those ice types are going to strike."" I had almost no idea what she was talking about, and ended up stuttering ""Um... uh... wha...? Maybe? I dunno?""

""Eh. You can go follow Spruce by yourself. I got my own business to attend to."" I said to Kamina, who probably was still following me. Heck, I was still facing the buildings across the cobblestone paths, ignoring the fancy and symmetrical walls and the obvious edge of technology here. A week ago or so, I'd be wishing to come here with Davis. Now, I had something else to do...<br/><br/>...and, finally speaking of spying: ""God damn it, did Davis hire some lowly scrubs of his own?"" Don't say I was deaf. ""Go on. I don't think I'm quite myself today, you know... help Spruce and Celes out, would you?"" I told Kamina as I turned to him, getting sarcastic and if not strange. I rolled my eye horizontally across the landscape of dry trees (with quite a few leaves) and arid grass, trying to find the source of an apparent voice and sound from earlier. Could've been the wind, but why would I be hallucinating?"

I gotta go turn some papers into my old work,"" and I take the papers, then climb up the ladder, exiting the guild, and going into Allure town. I walk into the news station, and everyone was partying and being happy. I look around and ask Smeargle ""What's all this ruckus about?"" as I put my papers into the basket.<br/><br/>""WOOHOO! That old coot Zoroark left off into a dungeon and... don't tell ANYONE outside of the office this, but... we planned a trap to make sure he doesn't come back here!"" Smeargle whispers in a cheery voice. I was shocked and then he says ""We weren't going to kill him, just make him get lost for a few days... months... years..."" and I feel my heart racing.<i>I hated him, but what about his family or friends? When I was getting beat in his office, one of the only things he didn't throw at me was a picture of his wife and kids, and they all looked fine.</i><br/><br/>""W-umm... which one?"" I ask, shaking a little.<i>What should I do? Should I find the family and ask them if I should find him, or what?</i>I think. It was strange. I felt a need to help him even though he's an ass.<i>Why did I feel this way? Was this the right thing to do?</i><br/><br/>""Beach cave, floor 4!"" Smeargle says and he realizes what I was about to do. He suddenly stops being cheery and mutters ""I shouldn't have told you that, should I?"" as he realizes that I'm about to go out on an adventure to save my boss. He stands up, and pushes me, then picks me up by the shoulders. He was far too strong for me to fight, but he was wanting to fight.<br/><br/>""Please, I don't want to fight you,"" I say and he looks at me through intimidating eyes, then throws me to the ground. He goes back to his chair and sighs as I leave, running to the house of my boss. I knock on his door and a female Zoroark opens the door, and I ask her three questions. ""Do you know where your husband is, do you know that some people want him gone, and do you want him rescued?"" I ask, and she nods at the first question.<br/><br/>""I know that he went to Beach Cave to grab some shells for me..."" she answers. ""N-no... I didn't,"" she says when she hears the 2nd question. ""Yes, please, I do!"" She says, her voice raspy and panicky. I nod and set off for Beach Cave, and arrive at the first floor. ""This place looks a lot different than the last time I saw it,"" I say as I enter for the 2nd time, and I rub my eyes as I tread along. I hear something slosh behind me, and try to pay it no mind, and continue on ahead through a tight space, into a larger chamber with a green gummy and about 32 Poke on the floor I smirk and say ""Alright!"" as I pick both things up, then go down the set of stairs into floor two.<br/><br/>I look around the place and hear more sloshing, but I could see what was making it. It was a different sloshing sound, but it still was from a pokemon. I look at it, and squeal, it was a wild Skrelp. I run as fast as I could away from it, and go into another tight space, straight into a dead-end. I turn back, walking to the Skrelp. It makes a horrific noise before attacking me with... bubbles? It was trying to kill me with bubbles. I got hit by them, and they stung like acid, and I yell out loud when I'm hit by these, then I use feint attack. Luckily, I got a critical hit, and knocked it out right there, and it felt like every 5 steps I took, the acidic bubble liquid burned even worse on me. I walk around until I get to the flight of stairs again, starting this whole crazy thing again.<br/><br/>This time, I heard no scratching or sloshing, so I felt safe and enter a room and see a red mat with things on it. A kecleon was sitting in the middle, on what appeared to be a Pecha Scarf and I stare for a while until he asks ""Well, are you going to buy something?"" and I look at his selection of items.<br/><br/>I point at the scarf and ask ""What's that?"" and he pulls it out and shows it to me, and I ask ""Oh. A pecha scarf... what do they do?""<br/><br/>""Prevent you from getting poisoned, of course. That's what Pecha berries do. You look like you're pretty badly hurt, and I have just the thing for you!"" He exclaims, grabbing the Oran berry. ""I will bundle these two up in an exquisite deal, for only 1000 Poke!"" and I check how much I had. Just enough. I smile and hand the man my money, putting the scarf on and munching on the Oran berry as I leave that room, to enter yet another tiny hallway, this time leading to the exit! Three floors done, one more to go.<br/><br/>After a good long while of fighting and resting for a bit, then exploring, I make it to floor 4 and hear a cry for help. I search for the source of the voice, which sounded like my boss, for sure, and walk into a room. He was trapped in a cage that was up to his neck in sand, and there was a lot of poke` right behind the cage. I look at him with pity, and some anger, since that proved how gullible and greedy he was. I look for ways to open the cage, prying at the bars, digging so that I could lift it up. My boss was digging as best as he could as well.<br/><br/>I see him panic, then say ""LOOK OUT!"" as a Smeargle gets ready to use sucker punch. I turn around and dodge the punch, and the Smeargle's fist slams into the bars, cracking the wooden frame, and letting some more sand spill out. I get kicked in the stomach, and I threw up from it, and he then mutters something with a heap of swears in it, and I roll around in pain. He continues kicking me until I fake my fainting, and feel him pick me up and start to dump sand on me, and as the first few grains hit, I jumped up, punched him in the stomach and used Confusion, and he got a dizzy look in his eye, and he moved to use a Wide Cut, but missed, slamming his hands into 3 of the wooden bars on the cage, breaking them, and sand spills on him, covering up his waist, and almost letting the Zoroark free. I dig my boss out and pile more sand onto the Smeargle, until he can't move at all. I mark down this location, and then check to see of the poke` was real, and it was fake. I grab my stomach and escape with my boss back to Allure town, and he immediately finds his house and stays there for hours on end, while I go to Wigglytuff's guild, and put down on the outlaw board ""Smeargle: Crime: Trapped a Zoroark and assaulted a Kecleon (me). Is now buried to his chin in sand, cannot move, reward is a Grass Gummi,"" and I return to my room and plop down on my bed. ""Ugh... wow... my belly hurts so badly..."" I say, closing my eyes and going to sleep."

That's quite a bit.."" Hex said, hefting the bag on her.. shoulders? ""What do they even sell in a city of dragons, anyway? Scale polishers? Wing wipers?""<br/><br/>Hex fluttered down the cobbled roads of the city, keeping to a low drift so as not to attract attention. Unfortunately, her appearance garnered quite a bit of it. The fact that she was bug-type already did enough to affect her image; It didn't do much to help that she could easily be stepped on by even some of the smallest dragon pokemon. She caught herself getting oddly stared at by most around. They didn't seem angered, more surprised there was a non dragon type. Hex tried to ignore it, but she didn't do too well with being out of the loop. The city seemed to be for strictly dragon types, while most other types were not too common. Hex stared at the large, decadent shops adorning the city's sidewalks. Dragons entered in and out. Hex spotted some various Flygon wearing goggles and scarves, and on occasion a Krookodile wearing sunglasses. The dragon types also seemed to hold a high regard for fashion, too. Hex had never heard of the amazing city before. In all of her lessons, she had only been taught about Allure Town and few, minor facts about Treasure Town. Scale City must've been too far for the scouts to examine, she reasoned. Either that, or they were immediately ejected from the city when they got in.<br/><br/>Hex found a large, seemingly good shop. She entered, shoving the wooden door out of the way. A long, sleek blue serpent was curled up behind a counter, and various items were displayed through signs and frames. A long price board hung from some tightly bound strings on a shoddy wooden plank frame. ""Reviver Seeds will be handy.. and with 3000 poke, I could buy plenty."" Hex thought to herself, looking over the prices. ""So.. one, 800, two, 1600, three, 2400.. still got 600 poke left after that."" Hex pulled a cloth sack out of her bag, with a thin piece of string keeping it closed. ""Three Reviver Seeds, please."" The Dragonair quickly wormed it's tail upward, twisting it around three of the vibrant, energetic seeds and untying the string closing the bag with it's tail masterfully, getting the needed money. It placed them on the table. ""Here we are. Three Reviver Seeds and your change."" Hex stared at the table, the seeds lying on them. The Dragonair paused for a moment. ""No.. arms.. huh."" The Dragonair took out it's tail and wrapped itself around the reviver seeds and poke, before dumping them in her bag manually. ""It's the hard-knock life for us."" Hex added, feeling the light seeds rattling in her bag.<br/><br/>Hex fluttered out of the shop, the seeds giving her the motivation to keep going. They certainly reduced some of the fear she would be feeling for dealing with the unknown. She began fluttering through the crowd, looking for the members of Team Scarab or the other team they met a couple of days ago."

I mean, they can change their color at will, so... it's not like that's an easy pokemon to find,"" and ""HA! Ask me again later if I've ever seen a keckleon. Heck, for all I know, he's hanging out with a bunch of others, and some greninja in some sort of ninja convention,"" another common remark was ""Hey, maybe I have and I just don't know it yet,"" Eventually, I come across a dratini who seemed to be whistling some random tune. I walk up to the small, not exactly dragonlike dragon-type, and ask ""Have you seen a keckleon anywhere around here?"" His eyes seem to light up at that, and he nods, saying ""Yes! I have seen one. Uh... thing is, though, that he was dragged over to Treasure Town. Maybe you should try looking there?"" I mumble ""Of course he did... this just can't be easy, can it?"" out of frustration, and use my badge to return to Allure Town, which was thankfully close to Treasure Town, and head out of the guild, and over to my right. I make it to Treasure Town, where my badge is not entirely appreciated, and try to not sweat up a storm from nervousness. I make it to the guild without any fights, and head over towards the guildmaster's room... I suppose I should warn the guildmaster about what happened, just in case I can't find the crook, or the keckleon.<br/><br/>""Uh... guildmaster?"" I ask the wigglytuff standing behind the desk in the guildmaster's office. Of course, it seems as though my question has fallen on deaf (if large) ears, as he appeared to be asleep. Eventually, his assistant barged into the room, and shouted ""GUILDMASTER!"" This woke up the guildmaster, and almost caused me to jump through the roof. ""Yes, Charlie?"" The guildmaster asked the assistant, who I assumed was Charlie. The assistant, a chatot, then states, rather emotionlessly, ""There's someone form Allure to see you... apparently, it's important,"" the guildmaster then asks ""Well, where is he?"" unfortunately, I lied earlier, I HAD in fact jumped into the roof thanks to Charlie's yelling catching me by surprise. I finally fell down, and the guildmaster gleefully said ""Friends!"" Though, Charlie was quick to correct him by saying ""Um... actually, Wally, Allure is our rival, in other words, our enemy,"" Wally hesitated for a moment, yet still retained that same smile, and eventually said ""Yay, frienemy!"" I eventually spoke up by saying ""Right... well, I'm looking for a missing keckleon. Have you seen one anywhere?"" Wally doesn't even waste any time saying ""Yes! One of those just joined my guild... um, I think that keckleon left somewhere, though... oh! You should check Beach Cave. A lot of new recruits go there on their first mission."" I manage to avoid bashing my head against the wall, and I leave, heading over towards Beach Cave to hopefully find a missing keckleon. The trip there seemed longer than it actually was, with all my frustration, and the fact that I just wanted this mission to end now. I mean, after all, I've had to travel all the way to some new town, warp back, and now I'm supposed to go to some mystery dungeon? Why couldn't this crook just stay in one place?<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""A-are you sure? Do you really want me to leave you two here?"" I tearfully ask Mike and Leo, who still seemed a little tired from being knocked out earlier. ""Just... go. We'll be fine."" Mike said to me. They were my only friends, and they were already asking me to ditch them. I didn't want to ditch my friends, but it didn't seem like they'd want me to stay... why though? What was wrong with staying here?<i>Hm... well, I did hear that this place is a mystery dungeon... maybe staying in mystery dungeons have some sort of effect on someone?</i>I think, though, even that reason, while enough to make me want to leave, wasn't a good reason to let them stay. Heck, it was just the opposite of that, if there was some sort of bad effect on those who stayed here, then they should leave, as soon as possible. Of course, I can't force them to come with me, as I wasn't strong enough to carry either of them, let alone both. I gazed at the empty fields with the grass now blowing in the breeze, and think this situation over again, just trying to come up with a good solution, yet, I couldn't. If they didn't want to leave and they wanted me to leave... I guess I should. It took me a while, but, I did it... I left my only friends behind in some mystery dungeon to deal with whatever might come their way. I must be a horrible friend. I made my way over to some town, this 'Treasure Town' that they spoke of, and, while it did take a while, I eventually made it over there.<br/><br/>The place was huge, and everyone in it didn't seem like they wanted to hurt me. There were pokemon all around, specifically one familiar grey snivy who seemed to be mumbling to himself about some missing keckleon. I called out to him, shouting ""Hey, there! It's me, um, no, I'm not going to try to hurt you!"" But... he didn't even so much as take notice to me, what I said, or, really, anything. That snivy, whoever he was, had a distant, sort of glazed-over look that said that he was either busy, dumb, or lost in thought... of course, it could be all three. I decided to ignore the snivy once it became clear that he was leaving the city and heading over to some other mystery dungeon. It was amazing being in a town, rather than just out in the wilderness... I mean, at least here, I didn't have to worry about the fact that my horrible father could be around any corner, after all, if he were, someone would spot him, and ask him why he's stalking someone. I let out my first sigh of relief that I was able to since my mother died, and continue towards an oddly-shaped building. It looked like a fun place to be, as the tent... at least, I'm sure it was a tent, was in the shape of one of the more 'fun' pokemon... at least, that's what I've been told. Once I was inside, I noticed the wooden structure, as well as a few other pokemon who seemed hesitant to head into the mysterious building. ""I..I'm not sure. I mean, what if everyone's mean in there?"" One of them, a caterpie, asks his teammate, who was a dratini. I then interrupt, and say ""Well, come on, it's sure to be fun!"" That was... almost alien coming out of my mouth, but by now I was convinced that this was some sort of balloon-based carnival attraction... though, it was odd for one of those to have a ladder leading downwards, as well as multiple floors.<br/><br/>""Yeah, what she said. I'm sure we'll be fine, let's just go,"" the dratini then adds to what I've said. The two then leave down the ladder, and... it may have been a little stupid of me, but, I followed. There was almost nothing down here, save for a couple boards with papers scattered and attached to them, and a few pokemon looking at the boards. I was somewhat disappointed until I noticed the duo heading further down the ladder, making me follow them once more. Once I got to the bottom, I noticed an odd treecko... he was odd mainly due to the blood stains near and on his eyes. Slightly creeped out, and disappointed that there were no balloons, nor was this some sort of carnival attraction, I asked ""Um... hi? I was just wondering... what is this place?"" I hoped that he would answer, and that he wouldn't just ignore me like that snivy from earlier. Maybe I've wandered into something completely awesome, and just don't know it yet... or someplace I shouldn't be.<i>I hope this isn't some kind of mob meeting place... that wouldn't be good... no, this can't be one of those, it's too obvious from the outside.</i>I think as I continue to wait for the strange treecko to answer my question. I would ask him about his eyes, but I assumed that the story behind them would be similar to my own story behind my scars... one that I'd rather not tell anyone. I'd probably end up crying if I was asked about them, as it would bring back memories, horrible ones."

I look down from where I was slightly, and I say ""You don't know this place? This is the Treasure Town Guild, run by a wigglytuff. Kinda a looney, though, so watch out, he might hug you and kill you with kindness, heheh."" I fall silent for a little bit, and then say ""Would you like to join a team? I'd have to ask my partner first, but you can join Team Green,"" as I look around. ""Uh... just go in there and ask if you could join team green, alright? Alright,"" I say awkwardly as I back away, then go into the crew rooms to see my partner crashed on his bed. I snicker at this sight, and sit on my bed, looking at the kecleon, or at least his stripe. He had an odd habit of turning invisible while he slept. I pop my knuckles, and walk back out of the crew room, climbing up the ladder to go to the mission board.<br/><br/>As I get to the mission board, I feel something on my face. I get a little dizzy for a second, and rub my head as blood drips on the ground. ""Not again..."" I mutter, wiping off the blood from my face with my arm. I cover my eyes and pick from the mission board, and get a E-rank mission. ""I need an oran berry! Please help in Beach Cave, I'm a Riolu, I think I'm on the second floor, and I feel like I'm about to faint and I can't rest, they just keep coming, reward 1000 Poke!"" it says. I see the amount of Poke I'd be getting and my eyes widen, and I climb up the latter and sprint out of the guild, to Beach Cave. Before I arrive, I buy an Oran Berry from the Kecleon shop, and once I get there I am forced to slam my fist down a few times on a Shellos. He took a few hits, and he kept trying to tackle me. It sort of worked, since I felt a little weaker, but I felt alright nonetheless. I wander around, thankfully not running into anything else, and get to the entrance to the 2nd floor.<br/><br/>I hear a lot of commotion down a small, narrow path and once I get down it, I'm in a chamber filled with different pokemon! I bolt out as fast as I could, pulling some of them out of the room and once I'm in the clear, I think about how the chamber was laid out. There were two ways in, and a Riolu was getting beaten down. I work my way around this place and eventually get back to that same chamber, with about 3 pokemon left. I use Absorb and regain practically no health, since all that walking around refreshed me, and it makes a Skrelp that was attacking the Riolu faint, and I toss the oran berry to the Riolu, who looked like he could be knocked unconscious any second, and he munches down on it as fast as he possibly could. He uses Force Palm on the remaining pokemon, and I say ""Nice work,"" and he points to my badge. ""What? This? This just shows that I-"" I say, before he interrupts me.<br/><br/>""Click that button on it,"" He says, obviously tired. I look around and press a button, and it teleports him away, and I freak out.<i>Where did he go? What place did this button-pushing make him go to? Should I find out myself?</i>I think, turning it around and pressing the button again. I feel a warm, tingly sensation, and open my eyes to find myself back at the guild. The Riolu sighs and hands me the money, and Chatot comes flying up. He hops over and, after the Riolu leaves, snatches the money out of my hands and counts it up, and spills a measly 100 back into my hands. ""WHAT?!"" I exclaim when he does this. I look at him through eyes burning with shock and anger.<br/><br/>""Sorry, that's just how the guild works. Part of your reward has to go to us, as a... uhm... a training fee, and so that we can pay off anything in case something happens,"" He says, and I leer at him. Luckily we were as tall as each other and I didn't have to move my head at all to glare at him and he scoffs and hops off. I grumble something, climbing back down the ladder and into my room. I kick Will, rolling him over and he wakes up.<hr/>-William-<br/>I say gibberish and sputter as I wake up, standing up to see my partner angry and crying. He sniffles loudly and wipes his eyes. ""I didn't think that they would... that they would fucking rob us! Why?!"" He cries, and I look at him, confused.<br/><br/>""What's going on?"" I ask, concerned. His tears seemed different than just 100% blood this time, this time they seemed to be like normal tears with a reddish tint. He coughs and covers his eyes and continues throwing his fit, not wanting to tell me what happened. I sigh and exit the room as he hits the wall, and kicks it too, then I ask someone what was going on with him and they chuckle. ""I heard him upstairs with Chatot. Didn't know about the reward policy, and took it badly, phew,"" the Diglett says.<br/><br/>""What's the reward policy?"" I ask.<br/><br/>""You only get to keep a small amount of your reward, like if you earned 2000, you only get to keep 200, because of the policy,"" the Diglett answers.<br/><br/>I was shocked by this news and walk back in the room, and see that the kid messed up his bed, too. ""Listen, Sam, just calm down!"" I say and he shakes his head and I sigh. Stubborn little punk. I go back to my bed and curl up, drifting off to sleep."

When he fully materialized back at the guild, he immediately called out ""I seek my brother in arms; the grey Snivly Spruce! Where is he!?"" while Kamina caught more then a few people by surprise, most of them were used to the eccentric fish by now, so they recovered fast from his outburst.<br/><br/>""...He's a magic fish..."" said a strange voice that Kamina didn't recognize, however he decided to just ignore it<br/><br/>Before Kamina could repeat his question in a different part of the guild and disturb more people, a Bidoof came up and said ""I think he said something about paying a visit to Wally's guild to ask about something.""<br/><br/>""Excellent!""

Had he been paying attention, he would have heard a second splash.<hr/>Kamina managed to reach Beach Cave rather quickly. Although that was compared to his speed of land, so take it with a grain of salt.

Hats, shirts, pants (though, none of those could ever fit), helmets, armlets and bracelets which she just put on my antennae, glasses and or goggles, and many different varieties of each thing. It was overwhelming, and probably only happened because there were no other customers around at this point. I eventually settled on a 'tough helmet', which looked odd... it was a sort of black color, appeared to be made out of some sort of steel, yet wasn't really armored, had a golden spike on the top, as well as a golden bird type of thing on the front. It was obviously shined and taken care of because this, much like my old helmet, which I still kept in my bag, looked like some sort of old human artifact. That being said, this seemed to be her only one... and she was willing to let it go for the normal price of any of her 'specialty items', namely, 3000 poke. After a lot of thought over whether it was really smart to spend all my money in this one place, Amanda asks if I'd like to test it out... test what out?<br/><br/>This was just a helmet, and was probably just as tough as my old one... right? I end up nodding and she takes me to the back room, where she tells me to put on the helmet. I look at her confused until I realize that I was just carrying around the helmet I was thinking of carrying. I put it on, and she tells me to stand on the target... then she seems to examine me, and eventually calls on someone else ""Ruby! I need you for a moment!"" a dratini, a very odd one who had bright red scales rather than the usual blue then slithers out of a third room, and asks ""Amanda, what did you need me for?"" Amanda then whispers into the dratini's ear, and she says ""Fine, I suppose this is another skeptical customer, then, Amanda?"" Amanda nods, and right after that, Ruby uses dragonbreath on me, dealing... less than stellar damage? Wasn't I supposed to be weak against other dragonish tings? Either way, it worked in my favor, and Amanda handed me an oran berry, which I quickly ate so that I'd be in peak condition for whatever might happen next.<i>Wait... if I wasn't so effected by that attack because of this thing... that's amazing!</i>I think as I ask for another test, this time with me wearing my old green helmet. The attack deals quite a bit of damage to me, and it didn't seem as though Ruby was focusing on weak points, or even putting any more effort into this attack. I gladly pay the 3000 poke, and head off with my shiny new helmet, making sure to wear the thing everywhere... of course, that was after another oran, which, thankfully, was free of charge.<i>I wonder if it only works on dragon-type attacks...</i>I then wonder as I wander around town again, new helmet on my head. I pass right under Hex during my wandering, and make sure not to spike her by accident. I then say ""Hey, Hex! Guess what? I got a new helmet... oh, and, this thing is sure to help us on Mt. Dragoncoil!""<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Team Green? Uh... okay, then."" I say as I notice the treecko suddenly start running around everywhere. During his absence, I head over to this supposed guildmaster's office, and open the door. I am instantly greeted with ""YAY! More friends! What's the name of the team that you're starting?"" Confused, I answer ""Um.... team green..."" though, my voice was small, as if it was barely there. Thank goodness, then, I suppose, that the guildmaster had ears about as big as his or her body. I then hear the guildmaster shout ""What? Team Green? We already have one of those!"" I then add ""Yes... um, I'd like to join..."" just like last time, my voice was rather, well, small. ""Oh! Okay, then, here's a badge, and... wait, that's it, right?"" The guildmaster then hands me a badge, and a chatot, which I thought was a decoration up until now squawks and shouts ""Guildmaster Wally! You are forgetting her name, and you forgot to give this new recruit her bag!"" The shouting surprised me enough to jump at that, and I am then handed a bag, and asked ""So... what's your name?"" I answer with ""Bonnie,"" the chatot didn't seem content with that, and he asked ""Last name, please?"" I shake my head at that, and make up a story ""Um, I used to be wild, I don't have a last name. In fact, I had to make up my own first name. So, just put down Bonnie, okay?"" The chatot grumbles and mumbles something about 'uncultured wilds' and jots that down, and says ""Okay, Bonnie, you're in the guild now... I will show you to your quarters, which you will share with the other members of Team Green,"" the chatot then flies out of the room, and I follow him over to a very simple-looking room with a keckleon, and that treecko from earlier... except, for some weird reason, the treecko was crying blood... ah, well, it's not like I'm perfect."

Thankfully, he didn't use it with too much force, so he didn't kill me, but still. After about 7 minutes, I wake up again and see that the Chatot was gone and Kecleon was force-feeding me the rest of an Oran Berry. He murmurs something and looks at the Buneary with his squinted eyes and sighs. He had been woken up by the loud sound I made, which sounded like 'GAAAHUAHGH,' and I had a mark from where Chatot used Peck on me. I wipe my eyes, smearing the blood all over my face and cough. ""Hey... um... what's your name again?"" I ask, looking at the Buneary. ""Um... wasn't a good first impression, was it?"" I say awkwardly and I start sweating a little. ""I'm Samuel,"" I say, holding out my hand for a handshake.<br/><br/>-William-<br/>Not too long after I nestled back to sleep, I hear a loud groan-wheeze-scream. I jump up in surprise at this noise and see Chatot glaring at my partner's limp body. I gasp at the site and go invisible almost instantly and hide for a minute or so before I realize that the Chatot was friendly. I make myself visible again, and see Sam's body, and I ask ""The hell happened?""<br/><br/>""He made a move that scared me, so I used peck. Don't worry, I toned it down so he wouldn't die,"" Chatot says, glaring at Samuel's unconscious body. ""Anyways, this is your room, and we'll bring in another bed for you. Tomorrow,"" Chatot says, looking at the Buneary. ""So, 'William Lennard', this is your new partner Bonnie... uh... just Bonnie. Tell your friend about her when he wakes up... if he wakes up.""<br/><br/>I shiver at this and continually poke Samuel. Chatot leaves and I wait until he wakes up, and then I take out the half of an Oran Berry I had left, and make him eat it. He groans as he stands up and greets himself. ""This is Just Bonnie. She's our new partner.""<br/><br/>""Oh yeah, I've met her before, just in the lounge,"" Sam says, and shakes her hand.<br/><br/>I look at the Buneary and notice the scars, and I ask ""Woah... what happened? Are you okay?"" as I stare at the scars. ""You can tell us. We'll tell you how we got our scars if you tell us how you got yours,"" I say, not thinking about how they could have come about."

""how long was I sleeping."" I ask myself and I look up into the sky. I widen my eyes in disbelief and begin to dash into the guild. 'I've been asleep all day' I think to myself while looking at the ground. I look up, only to find a wall directly in front of me. ""What!?"" I yell as I collide with the wall. ""That hurt"" I say to myself rubbing my head as I get up and look around. Multiple Pokemon are looking at me and snickering. ""Sorry"" I say as I dip my head and run off to find the guild master. 'I have no idea what I am looking for.' I tell myself as I dash around the guild. I soon get called over by a small bird-like Pokemon. ""What are you doing causing a ruckus in here!"" the small bird questions me. ""I am looking for the guild master so I can join the guild."" I tell the small pokemon. The small bird sighs and leads me into a large room with a Audino sitting in the middle, looking at me. ""Uh I am looking for the guild master?"" I question only to be hit in the side by the small bird. ""Why did you do that?"" I ask him. ""This is the guild master you fool!"" he yells at me, looking surprisingly angry. ""Oh, sorry!"" I dip my head in apologies and look up again. I look at the guild master and begin to speak ""Mr. Arnold I would like to join your guild."" I say as I continue to look at him. The guild master crooks his head and speaks ""Do you have a team?"" he asks me. ""No?"" I tell him looking confused. ""Well you will need to find one!"" he tells me looking very happy. ""Go wait around the guild until you find someone you want to be on a team with!"" he tells me and he walks over and pushes me out the door and shuts it. I sit there dumbfounded and soon regain my senses. I look around the guild. ""This might take me awhile"" I tell myself and I begin to explore the guild to find someone to join."

I checked that entire cave, top to bottom. The entire damp, cold, swarming with wild pokemon cave. Sure, I found some apples and oran berries to keep me going, and yeah, after the rampage I had on the second floor the wild pokemon wouldn't dare come near me, but still... I've been searching all day, Wally's guild was where I was told to go by that dratini who apparently saw a keckleon recently, and Beach Cave was where I was told to go by Wally himself.<i>Agh... why the heck did he have to lead me NOWHERE!? I'm positive that there's no keckleon anywhere in this cave, and heck, there probably never was!</i>I think as I continue down the slope and to the lowest floor of the cave... again. This time, the slope took me into that weird room where there was a smeargle trapped in a sand dune, a message scratched out in the rocky floor that read 'HELP ME', and some fake money near the smeargle who once again begged me to help him. I could already tell that the writing on the rocks wasn't his, as smeargle lacked the claws to write with, and would more than likely use their tail to write a message like that. The fake money was also a pretty decent tip-off that this wasn't a good guy, so, after the umpteenth time of him whining on and on about how the sand is getting in his fur, and how he wants to get out of here and how some guy trapped him in here after countering his trap and of course about how I didn't hear that, I finally snapped, and took out all my remaining rage on this character, whoever he was. I ended up using vine whip on the poor guy as if he were a training dummy, however, I was still sane enough to stop attacking once he fainted. I then wrapped him up in vine whips, making sure to wrap up the mouth so I don't have to hear any more of this guy's whining, and continue on for three more entire runs through the dungeon with no success. I eventually give up and use my badge to teleport back to the guild, perp in hand. Once I got back, I had to walk all the way over to Wally's guild again just to turn in this criminal, and once I do, all I get is officer Blade shouting for someone named 'William' to report to the outlaw board and hand out his reward to me... so, I guess I was right, then? Meh... I just need to find that dang keckleon right now.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>The first thing that happens when I enter the room was that chatot flying in here with a fainted treecko... the one that was my teammate. He then calls me 'Just Bonnie'... though, I think he might have misinterpreted that. William, the keckleon who was also a part of my team then shook my hand, and I end up adding to what the chatot said with ""There's no reason for the 'just', but I don't have a last name thank to being wild up until today,"" I had to keep this as my story... maybe someday when I can think about my father without breaking into tears or punching the nearest living thing I'll tell these two the truth, and the reason why I can't go back home. I then hear the treecko ask what my name was, and I answer ""I'm Bonnie. I don't have a last name because I was wild up until today,"" he then talks about first impressions... but I had no idea what those were, so I simply laughed as if he had told a joke and said ""Yeah, I guess,"" though, I wasn't sure what he was talking about. After all of that... William asked about the scars, which immediately brought back memories about my father.<i>Say anything about this, and you're next!</i><i>You're WORTHLESS, just like your mother!</i>and<i>I knew I shouldn't have broken the family tradition! If I hadn't, you wouldn't be some ****ing rabbit!</i>were a few of the phrases that passed through my mind once that horrible question was asked... and worse? A memory of my mother in her final moments... I couldn't help but break out in tears right then and there, unfortunately. Though it might have broken my story, I just couldn't do anything else once those memories returned thanks to that question. Through my tears, I could hear someone calling for William upstairs for some reason..."

Shh..."" and on and on. I cough and look at my feet in awkwardness, and hear my name being called. I look upwards and say ""I have to go,"" and I run out of the crew rooms and climb the ladder upstairs. Once I get to the top, I see Officer Blade and the smeargle. The Smeargle snarls at me, and I walk over, trying not to get near it, and look at the... monochrome Snivy? What? I stand there a little shocked from scaring our newest team member and I dig through my bag after a couple of seconds, and take out a grass gummi. I hand it to the Snivy, and then sit there awkwardly, not knowing what to do, and I look at the Snivy and say ""Thanks.

It's alright, you can just tell us later, okay?"" and I hear a loud voice shouting for my partner. I see him change colors, from red, to blue, to purple, to yellow, to pink, to brown, sometimes turning invisible, and then back to red, and the cycle continued. I think<i>What the hell is he doing?</i>as I watch him move out. I sigh, and pat Bonnie on the back, and then I stand up. I say to Bonnie ""You can even sleep in my bed tonight,"" and I point at my, now messed up, bed.<br/><br/>I walk away from Bonnie, going upstairs and to the Outlaw Board, then I look for something easy, and I see a black-grey Snivy, and I move out of his way, saying ""Oh, sorry,"" thinking he was looking at outlaws.

I've been getting really hungry... please send help, I'm in the cellar. I'll find what I can award you with, just BE CAREFUL!"" and see it's ranked at A.

Hex exclaimed, fluttering around it's glossy black exterior. A golden bird was laid out on the front, and the spike shone in the light, seemingly glowing in a golden light.

It seemed like a long shot, given that his voice sounded masculine, and the name 'Rosebud' sounded feminine, but, you never know what other pokemon are going to name their children... keckleon especially, it seemed. If he was the missing keckleon, then I would finally have completed my mission, and would head back to my guild... and I kinda needed that with the wild goose chase I was put on by that blasted, evil dratini... that jerk will pay if this isn't the right keckleon, though... wait... I only remember asking if anyone saw a keckleon, not if they saw one that might go by the name 'Rosebud', so it might all just be my fault. Either way, I was still pretty stressed out from all that happened.<i>Yeah, go to Wally's guild, that's where the keckleon is for sure!</i>I recall, though, it could have been nobody that said those exact words, it was words similar to those that started me on this whole ordeal... at least I got SOMETHING for all of this, even if this wasn't Rosebud, and I had no reason whatsoever to be here at the moment. I couldn't take out my frustration on Wally, he was a guildmaster, and would probably destroy me if I tried to attack him, and I couldn't just attack random citizens in Scale City, 'cause then I'd be an outlaw, and would be hunted down by some rescue team... it wouldn't end well.

On my way, I pass by that snivy again, as well as William, who was handing the snivy a grass gummi.<i>Why is William giving someone else candy?</i>I ask myself as I continue on. As soon as I catch up to him, I place myself in front of Samuel, and say to him ""We should wait. Do you really want to try this mission when we're missing someone?"" I then try to make sure he doesn't go too far from everyone else, and hope that William would know where to find us... he should know, after all, we weren't all too far away from the guild where we started this mission. The area we were in was nice and sunny, similar to where I just came from, and the grass was gently blowing in the breeze. The breeze felt kind of nice at this point due to the fact that it was still summer, and still very warm in the sun. Heck, there didn't seem to be a single cloud in the sky by the time we left, and even now there was nothing blocking the sun's rays from hitting us. Surely this kind of weather would be intolerable by whatever ice types might live around here at this time... though, those kinds of pokemon seemed rather rare for some reason.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Aw thanks, Hex."" I respond to Hex before she heads into the shop... with Josh and Matt heading in there as well.<i>Wow, it seems like I got Amanda some customers. Good, she seemed really nice, and the stuff she's selling is pretty cool too.</i>I think as I wait for them to return. Josh ended up with a purple scarf that he says boosts some sort of power... seems like it would go really well with the TM he just bought from the nearby store. Hex, on the other hand came back with a yellow scarf, one that she didn't say what, exactly, it did. I guessed, then, that it was my turn to explain ""Well, this helmet actually protects me against other dragon attacks. It, um, makes it so they don't super-effect me, or whatever,"" of course, this was the information that I got just from the test from earlier, for all I knew, it might actually increase a stat just like one of their pieces of equipment... and if it did, that would be awesome. I was kind of tired now, and decided to slither over to the hotel where Terra said that we'd meet, with my new helmet certainly turning heads around town. Heck, at least five other pokemon asked me where I got that, and every time, I'd respond with ""At Amanda's Threads. She's got all kinds of other things too, if this isn't really your thing."" I wondered if that place would end up becoming popular just because of me... nah, that can't be right, right? I mean, I'm just some random nobody... maybe it was the helmet, then? Meh, either way, when I looked back at the store, it was already crowded with customers... wow... I ignored it for now, and continued onwards, only just making it to the hotel before noticing that nobody else was following me, and I wasn't following anyone... oops."

Thanks for catching this guy,"" I say as I take out and put my Pecha Scarf on, then I climb up the ladder towards the exit and catch up with my new partners, and I see the trail that Samuel left behind him. I step away from it and shudder. What could have made him like this? He was nice and all, but... ew. I look at Bonnie and then look at Samuel, who seemed to have a blank expression on his face. I grab the slip out of his hand and read it, and I see that... oh no.<i>No... NO... PLEASE, ARCEUS, NO!</i>I think, remembering that horrible time. I turn a dark color, almost pitch-black, before I fall on the ground and I grab my leg, remembering the pain. I stand up, with the help of Samuel, and go back to green, and I try to stop Samuel from continuing to do this mission, but he shoos me away before I could even get two words out.<br/><br/>-Samuel-<br/>I stop in my tracks, still looking forward. I wait for Will before I continue walking, and after a while William rips the paper from my hand, and I let him read it, and out of the corner of my eye, I see him change color, to black, and fall down, and grab his leg. I walk over and help him up, but... he was a little tall for me to help up. I push him so he's sitting up, but that's the best I could do. He gets up and I continue walking, but he grabs my shoulder and I say ""Why did you stop us? Let's get to our destination before we talk, or stop."" I get to the fog bank after a while, and see the spire of the house poking out of the top of the mist, and I get on my way to it, holding Bonnie's hand, and William's, so that we didn't lose each other, since the fog was so thick.<br/><br/>I walk through a lot of brush and between a lot of trees before seeing an old, wooden door. I open it, and walk in, the room becoming darker than William earlier, and he takes out something from his bag that he had before he got his treasure back, and makes fire on the tip of it, illuminating the room. ""These last... maybe 10 minutes, so we don't have long. I only have like 12 left,"" William says, and we walk through into a hall and we start to explore, seeing broken human tech, and also a room with some vents. William points at them, and says ""Get up there, quick, I don't know how long it will be until IT comes and pulverizes us..."" and he lifts Bonnie and I up into the vents before climbing into them himself. I crawl through, and fall out into a giant, extravagant room, made of gold, amber, and stone. I gasp at the sheer beauty, and look down to see a lot of blood on the floor, and I scream like a little girl before hiding behind Will. ""It's not like I'm afraid of it, it's just I'm afraid of what might have caused it,"" I whisper. ""You should be,"" William says."

I swear, the first one to come back without information will regret it.""<br/>It was Zane. For months, Josh had convinced himself that Zane wouldn't come on land to look for him, but now, here he was. ""Matt, quick, hide me!""<br/>""Umm..."" Matt frantically looked around, before his eyes fell upon a large wooden crate. ""Please be empty...please be empty..."" Thankfully, it was. Matt placed Josh inside, and closed the lid. Josh's only source of light was the small gaps between the boards, which also allowed him to see what was going on outside.<br/><br/>The sound of hooves filled Josh's ears, and moments later several Rapidash came into view. They were pulling a wagon containing a large tank of water. Inside this tank was, as Josh had expected, Zane.<br/>The carriage came to a halt in front of Matt and Anthony. ""Hello there."" Zane said, smiling at them. ""I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for a few Pokemon. I haven't seen them in a while, and I think they might have gotten lost.""<br/>A Clauncher crawled out of the water tank, and placed several pictures in a line in front of them. The one on the far left was a picture of Josh, and right next to it was a picture of Keira. There were also several other Pokemon, all of which Josh had seen before on the reef. There were at least twelve photos in total. ""Here they are."" Zane said. ""Have you seen any of them?""<br/>""That's certainly a lot of people to lose."" Matt said, looking at the photos. ""I'm sorry, I don't recognize any of them.""<br/>Zane turned to Anthony. ""How about you?""<br/>Josh hoped Anthony would be as believable as Matt was.

All those Pokemon needlessly corrupted to serve her own means, sometimes wasting her resources down to her last few Pokemon just to get back at me. Even him, unfortunately.

At that point, my wound on my face started to ache. No, it wasn't glowing purple or anything. I was just reminded of Dementia.<br/><br/>Speaking of Dementia, I got face-to-face with one of her lackeys. I didn't feel like fighting, because I was still trying to absorb the emotions sent by Davis. That, and I didn't realise there was a sickly-purple Murkrow behind me, until it started growling. Not in a kind way that would make you less likely to attack something kind...<br/><br/>...but, the kind that was merciless and almost beyond recognition. Bloodthirsty, even for a dark Pokemon that's possibly associated with the Mafia. All that info just from listening to a specific tone of a voice.<br/><br/>I flipped upside down, glaring deeply into the Murkrow's dead eyes, as it dived into me and gave me a few nicks.

Through pure anger, I knocked out any pokemon that was unlucky enough to cross my path and try to attack me... after a while, they seem to have gotten the point. Strangely enough, I saw a familiar-looking mareep and litleo, though, that buneary that was with them seemed to be gone... weird. I finally make it back to Scale City, only to notice that it was getting dark, and I REALLY didn't want to have to walk all the way back here in the morning. I look up and notice a sign for a hotel, one that apparently was owned by a salamence and a sceptile, one of which wasn't a dragon type, oddly enough. I head in there, and see a clawncher asking Anthony and that... um green thing that held Josh's bucket in Beach Cave... though, I didn't want to butt in on the conversation, as it seemed important, and I was pretty angry at the moment. I walked over to the counter, and look at the prices... 5000 poke for a one-night's stay... yeah, I didn't have that much, and probably wouldn't, no matter how many times I searched through Beach Cave. Thankfully, there was a cheaper option, a 'cheapo-room' for 50 poke a night. I could afford that, for sure. I put down 50 poke, and they hand me my key, apparently to room number thirteen. I head over to my room, and open it up to see nothing more than a bed in my room, though, at this point, that was all I needed.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I get dragged around into some sort of fancy building in the middle of the fog. The gold and amber-colored things, and general fanciness reminded me of home, heck, there was even a giant blood spot on the carpet... just like... home, but, this time, I managed to hold back my tears as I was almost thrown into, and then dragged through the nearby vents. I was about to ask what the heck we were doing here, but from what everyone else was saying, it seemed as though we were hiding from something... something as vague as 'IT'... ugh. I end up whispering, that is, after I hear Samuel scream like a little girl ""So, what is it that we're avoiding?"" I hoped that I would get a response and not just another scream from Samuel... once everyone fell out of the vents, I could hear some seriously heavy footsteps approaching us, which was weird... what could live here that could be so heavy? The footsteps also seemed to come in fours... maybe we were hiding from some sort of heavy quadrupedal pokemon?<i>Well, whatever it is, William sure seemed afraid of it... I wonder, though, if the thing's male, maybe I'll be able to keep him distracted with attract while they beat up on him.</i>I think as I continue waiting for whatever it is. This waiting seemed to drag on for hours, and yet, the thing never seemed to approach our area. Maybe I was just impatient and wanted to get this whole thing over with... or maybe it really did take hours. Either way, staying in a room that really reminded me of home wasn't very comfortable to me. I ended up closing my eyes before the gold, amber, and various weird things brought back too many bad memories... though, I knew I'd have to open them at some point, after all, I can't fight with my eyes closed, can I?"

""Brace yourselves, he might be here any second, if you can find your way down, get down it ASAP. It's a brute, I think it might have been civilized at one point, which is why I occasionally hear words from it, but otherwise, it's grunts and roars."" I look around, and see a small rubble pathway, and I begin to walk over to it, before I see the doors on the side of the top floor shake, and quiver, more and more as the footsteps got louder, and closer. I carefully step down the path before feeling something sharp puncture my feet, and I grab it immediately. I try to balance myself, and go around the sharp objects, my foot dripping and oozing blood with every hop. Once I get to the bottom, I fall over and take the sharp thing out of my feet. It was clear, sharp, hard to scratch, and had a very smooth surface. What was this material? Was there a way to make more? No time for questions, we have to find that kid and make our escape quickly. I stand up and limp about a foot more before I hear ""Will! Catch me!"" and I turn around, and run back below the top floor. I watch Samuel carefully make himself hang and I watch him slowly let go and fall. I caught him. He says ""Phew... Thanks,"" and walks around. More rattling, this time of every door it seemed like. ""Bonnie, hurry, I think he's here!"" I yell, looking at the 18 foot drop. I hold out my arms and wait for Bonnie to do an extreme version of the trust fall as Samuel walks around aimlessly, finding more of the smooth, sharp, clear material. He gets an idea, and bunches up all of the material, and says ""Drop this in his path if he walks toward us!"" as he makes three small piles.

I wonder what he'd do if he were here.</i>I hold in a laugh at the thought of a small, puny-looking pokemon like Vine completely wiping the floor with these jokers, all because of a few fiery horses."

That's a real shame."" Zane said. ""Keep those photos. If you see any of those Pokemon, come find me."" A whirring sound could be heard in the distance. Zane looked over, and smiled. ""Ah. About time they contacted me.""<br/>A Starmie landed a few meters away, sliding across the road until it came to a stop in front of him.. ""I carry a message from Sandra of Search Team C, sir."" The crystal in the center lit up as it spoke.<br/>""Let's hear it.""<br/>A completely different voice came from the Starmie. While it had sounded male before, this second one was definitely female. ""Hey, Zane, you're probably not gonna like this, but we were attacked by wild Pokemon last night, and all of our supplies are gone. I don't know if you want to send more supplies or if you want us to retreat. We'll sit tight for a while, but we need a response as soon as possible.""<br/>""We'll handle the rest of Mt. Dragoncoil in a few days, once we're finished up in Scale City. We'll give you some supplies, and you can send your search team down to Beach Cave. I've got a feeling we'll find something there.""<br/>The Starmie spoke in its normal voice again. ""Would you like me to send that message, sir?""<br/>""What in the hell do you think?""<br/>""I'll take that as a 'yes', then.""<br/>The Starmie began spinning, making the same whirring sound as before. It sped off in the direction of Mt. Dragoncoil, and Zane got back into the water tank. ""Now before I go, I'd like to thank you for that little bit of info."" He smiled at Anthony as the Rapidash pulled him away.<br/><br/>Now that Zane was out of sight, Matt went over to the crate and opened it. Josh was clearly terrified. He was shivering, and breathing pretty heavily. ""Anthony, I swear to Arceus, if they happen to be hiding in Beach Cave and Zane finds them, I'm going to KILL you."" He looked around at everyone. They probably wanted an explanation. ""I'll tell you guys what's going on tomorrow. I just need some time to calm down a little.""<br/>Zane's goons would be all over town looking for him. He made a mental note to tell the Pokemon running the hotel not to tell anybody he was there. Of course, they might not listen to him unless they knew he was with Terra, so he decided to wait for her to get there."

We all got problems.<br/><br/>One problem was, I assumed Davis was dead. Another problem was that it was implied that now Davis failed his job, that job would be passed down to me.<br/><br/>Also, I tried warning Kamina about Davis' little spy. Eh, it was his problem now. One of them's probably unconscious as we speak, and already I'm betting on the fish.<br/><br/>Let's get the theme of problems out of the way. I was hovering over some cobblestone or something similar, floating around a city of dragons with stone buildings that have been carved out of giant rocks. Mostly rocks, because the rest of the buildings were made out of giant timbers of light and dark wood, with wooden bars and such for windows. So much for fearing me. I attracted eerie looks, being a steel Pokemon that could threaten the lives of everyone here. Either that, or my glowing scar would make a few people feel frightened. (No, I'm not super-powered now. I don't feel like a God or anything, so I presume this is just cosmetic.) I felt... defeated, or something. I couldn't explain it, but it just didn't feel good. I felt like just falling and wishing everything would end abruptly, not unlike first seeing Davis leave our home. Change is nature my ass.<br/><br/>Insult to injury was added upon hearing the message again.<i>""If I was a horse, I wasn't beaten to death yet. I wasn't supposed to, being the weaponized Pokemon I was. Que some music, would you?""</i>I ended up just sticking myself onto a wooden bench on the sidewalk, watching as Pokemon of... not all sorts; mainly dragons moved around the plaza checking out stalls and tourist attractions. I was sobbing to myself. Finally, that emotional break got to me. Trees planted in rows on the sidewalk waved as I stopped sobbing after about a minute or two, rubbing my head as I waved away some light plasma.<br/><br/>Revenge? Yeah, let's go with the theme of revenge now. Everyone's doing revenge<span class=""bb-strike"">here</span>of some kind. I got a target known as Dementia, also known as Desia. Just gotta pin down a shadow Pokemon and force all the information out of them. Then, from there, coax someone to hunting her down with me.<br/><br/>My team works. However, I realised there was an event horizon. I expressed a stunned appearance, muttering to myself on the bench as Pokemon passed me without a care in the world. ""Consumerism."" I said quietly. The event horizon would be going down a path of revenge. One that would ultimately change anyone had they decided to open their doors to that addictive substance.<br/><br/><i>No.</i>I opted for volunteering instead. A job, to replace my former friend Davis.<span class=""bb-strike"">Everyone's doing revenge, so I may as well come up with something original.</span>Instead of hunting down Dementia and getting everyone I knew killed, I would carefully plan my moves as I routed her forces and defeated her myself. As a job; a favour to the world. Not of needless pain and revenge.<br/><br/>I wonder if I'll be able to find Spruce or someone else familiar in this City... I mean, the first step's finding them and emphasising the danger of Dementia."

They explain that the evil pokemon in question was a conkeldurr, which honestly relaxed me somewhat.<i>At least this really isn't my dad's place... and at least we won't have to deal with a bunch of cats...</i>I think as I look back, only to see the monstrosity getting closer. There was a drop directly to the basement, and William was waiting for me, and ready to catch me in my fall. I hesitated for a moment, and I then I hear him shout ""You can trust me!"" I then jump... it was a somewhat long drop made longer by the tension in the room as the thing continued forwards. Thankfully, it didn't seem as though the thing saw me at all, or, rather, saw anyone who might have been intruding on his home... odd...<i>Why would his mind deteriorate so much? He's still in a home, but... is this place a mystery dungeon all on its own? I wonder if there's a nearby dungeon that sort of 'swallowed' this place, or something.</i>I think as I hold in my screams just from falling. William did say he was here before, and yet a conkeldurr might be enough to kill the guy, given that he didn't seem as powerful as the thing, and it was a fighting type where he was a normal type... he would take huge damage from any kind of fighting type move the conkeldurr might have had at his disposal... how in the world did he make it out of here alive?

""If you see something as brown as your fur, try to blend in with it, that thing is STRONG. I'm surprised it didn't kill me when it threw me down here... it was almost like it spared me, or thought I had died..."" I whisper as I go invisible. I carefully walk, so I didn't make too much sound, but my blood coming from my foot left a trail. I slip in through the wide crack, because the door was ajar from my last visit. I go down the spiraling, marble and granite staircase, and when I reach the bottom, I saw Samuel, waiting for us.<br/><br/>I look at the room labeled 'BASEMENT' and open it, making a rather loud creaking sound, as I make myself white to make me as visible as possible to any person who would be down here, waiting for someone. Sadly, upon closer inspection, with a lit match, no one was down here, but there was a room with 'BOILER ROOM' on a plaque above the door, and some panel that said ""CAUTION: EXTREME HEAT"" and I sigh. Samuel walks behind me and gets nervous and says ""Well, that's it, mission failed, let's run!"" and I grab his arm. ""If you're so scared, stay back and make sure nothing except for Bonnie comes down here. Let's wait.""<br/><br/>-Samuel-<br/>I walk past William and past a bunch of rubble, into a large, spiraling staircase. I look at the bar and climb up it, and say ""I could probably just slide down this, it's so smooth!"" as I push myself down, letting me slide down the rail. It took about 3 minutes total before I got down, and I hit a pole sticking up out of the bottom part of the rail. It makes me fall and roll down the last two steps, knocking the breath out of me, and I stand up, and I lean on the wall, and cough. I try to look down into the basement room, but it was pitch black, and I kick the pole sticking out of the rail. I use a few moves like Pound on the Pole, making it crack. It was made out of wood, and I grab my fist, and squeeze it tightly, and feel tears drip off my face. I cough and eventually the pain subsides, so I sit, waiting for William and Bonnie, and I hear William come down the stairs and see him turn white.<br/><br/>He lights off another fire-stick, and I wince at the sight. He walks into the dark basement, giving light to the room, revealing boxes... and even a skeleton! Eugh... Is that an Axew's skeleton? Maybe a Bulbasaur's. I pass by a few boxes, with foul smells, and I see a door labeled ""Boiler Room, Extreme Heat!"" and I tap my fingers together. ""So, I guess this is a failed mission! Let's run and get something from Treasure Town, maybe a nice Oran and Grass Gummi shake, maybe?"" I say, with a couple beads of sweat forming on my face, and armpits."

She felt a bit.... like she wanted to go and listen to what they were going to talk about... but she also felt like it might be too much. She looked in her bag and got a bit of her soup out.

I don't think that was our client."" I say as I notice some movement in a nearby crate. The crate was actually pretty small, so, whatever out client was, he or she had to be a very small pokemon. I lift the already opened lid off of the crate, and watch in horror as a skitty looks back up at me from a floor of flesh and blood. The thing was even currently gnawing on a lopunny head, almost forcing me to remember that horrible scene, and worse? The skitty's fangs and claws were even tinted red. Okay, I might have imagined that part, but it was still not a very pleasant scene with that crate. ""Oh thank good-"" the horrible creature starts to say, with me responding with what was probably my loudest scream yet, probably loud enough to be heard all the way back in Sunswept Plains, and that mysterious city that was beyond it. It was no surprise that the thing jumped out of the crate and hid in a corner after that scream, just like it was no surprise that I ran off into some other room, shouting ""Get away from me, you evil thing!"" as I ran off. I found myself in some sort of weird, small room that was filled with sticks that seemed to have bristles at the end of them... oh, wait, these were the things that my dad used to give me whenever he shouted at me to clean up the place... brooms, or something like that. It was dark in this room, and I could have already gotten splinters either from the floor or from one of these brooms, but it was still better than staying in the same room as that horror.<i>A-are all cat pokemon like that?</i>I ask myself, as the situation was way too familiar... it was just as bad as that one time... that time I'd rather forget.<i>Was I wrong in trusting Leo back in Sunswept Plains?</i>I then think as I continue to cower in this strange room, one where I hoped nobody would think to look."

I take out my badge, which actually didn't need to recharge. Speaking of, when it said that it needed to recharge, I found out was actually just Samuel playing a prank at the wrong time... 'recharge'... pfft. What an ass. I was just not pressing the button hard enough, and I say to the Skitty ""You're going to be teleported back to the guild, okay? We just need to... to find our recruit."" I then stand up and walk outside of the basement, and check every single door downstairs. I grumble something, and then open some doors. ""Where are you? We can leave this place if you just come with us!"" I yell as I find a door, and try to open it. It wouldn't budge. ""Are you in there?"" I ask, pushing at the door again, being wary of the splinters. I give up, and sigh. ""Please... we need you so we can go..."" I say as I hear the monster galloping down the stairs.<br/><br/>I blow out the match and hide under the staircase, as the monster snarls and roars. I am paralyzed with fear, but I don't think he's seen me, yet. He bashes down the basement door, and snarls, entering it, and snorts. I hear him cackle as he grabs Samuel and lifts him up. He snorts and roars, throwing Sam down and hitting him. That was all it took to make Samuel faint. Luckily, the thing seemed to be slow, and also couldn't exactly tell the difference between fainted, and dead... at least, in the dark. I run over to Samuel, and drag him to the door, and whisper ""Please! Samuel needs help! Just come out and we can all teleport away!"" and I go back to the Skitty, and pick him up gingerly.

It was pretty dark, and already the plaza began settling down. All I knew what to do was to finish what Davis couldn't do. I couldn't let my emotions run rampant and end up harming my only... well, I'd use the term 'acquaintances' since I barely knew them. However, they were my team, and being in one I had the most fun I ever had in my entire life. More than Sitrus berry hunting.<br/><br/>I was sitting down on the bench, watching as a few clouds began clumping together in the moonlit sky.<i>Weather. What season is it again?</i>Looks like rain would come, depending if more clouds began mashing together in light of the torch-lit city and moon. I scratched my back with my third magnet, appreciating the fact that it was useful for something. I spied as the last Pokemon began leaving the plaza, packing it's stall and using it's giant, draconic arms to carry most of its things.<br/><br/>...and then, I knew. I was exposed in the emptiness. Realising the danger of this, I had began floating upwards and towards a local hotel, which didn't seem particularly new yet had the distinctive smell. Just as I was about to enter, I was snatched and thrown onto the ground.<i>Yeah, I KNEW that would bloody happen.</i>My pupil flared as I rolled myself across the cobble, accidentally colliding into a tree as I saw my aggressor - a Porygon. However, it wasn't... a shadow Pokemon, or anything similar.<br/><br/>And then, it just vanished into an alley just beside it, faster than me blinking. It wasn't that weird one I encountered in Arnold's Guild. I didn't get the message it was trying to send. Was it saying to stay away from Desia, or...? I wouldn't be hindered either way. Davis was dead, and now I would have to avenge him by finishing his purpose. Exhaling (which wasn't what I normally did until the onset of that... twitching magnet), I had jumped forwards before settling at level in the air, which would allow me to enter the hotel.<br/><br/>Inside... well, it was definitely late. Lights just went out, only being filled a lone candle in the air... ""Argh!"" Looks like I had accidentally scared someone.<br/><br/>""What are you, with those scars and... mother of Arceus, what are you doing at this time?"" Well. This Pokemon certainly didn't match the usual accent I had encountered in Scale City. I had taken a brief second to interpret his sentence.<br/><br/>""More like, 'what the hell have I been through lately?' I need a room, but by the looks of this place... I don't have a million Pokes."" Funnily enough, a Honedge I would meet later on would say the exact same sentence, except he went 'I have a million Pokes.'<br/><br/>""Yeah... well, I've got a room for 50. It's called the 'Cheap-o' room, so what do you say?"" Where did my Pokes go... oh, they were dangling by the end of my third magnet. I still didn't carry a bag for some reason. ""Come on, I don't have all night. My wife's been nagging me to get more sleep lately."" The Pokemon slurred. I couldn't really see its face, because the candle just went out.<br/><br/>Thankfully, improvising a source of light, I began crackling a few arcs of electricity. That may have woken one or two Pokemon up, but hey, at least I was able to pay after seeing the owner. Rather briefly, since his face was blurred by jumping up.<br/><br/>After exchanging the goods (a key for me, 50 Pokes for him), I had left for my room. I couldn't see in the dark, because unfortunately the clouds began to block the moonlight. So, I just slept on the floor.

The swablu started to move forwards, still weak.<br/>""My bag.... can... can I have it please.... please!?"" the swablu then says. Celes dropped the bag right at her.<br/>""Here.... and please be careful in these hours... it is dangerous."" Celes then says in a deep voice, sounding male because of her mask.<br/>""Oh thank you thank you... but... who... who are you?"" the swablu said. Celes though a bit at this.<br/>""Call me... Shadowlight."" she then says, before running off, jumping and going on a building, and moving away, off in the night, searching for any more criminals. This will be both good training and practice, as well as making her ready for when Spruce will find those other criminals and any other pokemons that they would need to go fight. She smiles thinking. this might end up being one of her best ideas... even if she might use a lot of energy. Well, she could always have half rest, half soup.<br/><br/>After the night was half done, she headed to a tree near town, and perched herself on it, going to sleep in the leaves, calm, without much worries. A couple of criminals were beated down during the night, as well as reports of these being taken down being said here and there. Confuse ray, swift and hidden powers. Those moves were what was the most useful for these fights, as well as agility and skills. She wonders if in the end she might end up as a bit... over trained. Spruce would probably ask questions sooner or later...She will have to hide this as much as she can. It might cause her more trouble if someone finds out.... esoecialy if a member of her family finds about this and her whereabouts."

I say we should head off to Mt. Dragoncoil after this."" I then turn towards the two pokemon behind the desk, a grovyle, and a shelgon, both of whom looked as though they could use a room, as well. ""Um... we're with Terra."" I say to them, and they instantly seem to know what I meant by that, and hand me a room key for room number two hundred and fifty one. ""Thanks."" I then add as I make my way up to the second floor. The first floor, with room numbers starting with the number zero, such as 013, seemed a little... well, broken.<i>Thank goodness I'm not staying there.</i>I think as I continue towards the stairs, and up to the second floor... which, oddly enough, WASN'T the floor I was staying at. The second floor looked a lot like the first floor, but the rooms had numbers starting with 1, and for some weird reason, the staircase continued only on the other side of the floor, rather than just continuing from where I already was. I made my way to the opposite side of the hallway, which, to be honest, did look a little bit better-kept than the hallway on the ground floor. There weren't as many missing tiles, and there didn't seem to be as much mold growing in said missing tiles. The room numbers were a bit more clearly marked on the doors, and the tiles that were there seemed somewhat cleaner than their ground floor counterparts. Again, I was thankful that I wasn't staying here, and hurried to the third floor, which was where my room would be.<br/><br/>It was as if I had stepped into another dimension compared to the lower floors. Everything was clean, all the tiles were there, it almost looked as though it was gold-plated, heck, even the torches had golden handles, and strangest of all, there were a few hotel workers, a couple bagon and a few treecko who were delivering things such as food and towels to the rooms... oh, and before I forget to note, it smelled so much better than either the outside, or the lower floors. I looked in awe as I slowly made my way to my room.<i>Wow... these hotel managers must really like Terra, huh?</i>I think as I look around the place.<i>I guess those lower floors are the cheap-o rooms... looks like you really get what you pay for around here.</i>I think as I continue to take in this sight. I eventually make it to my room, and open it up to see a table with several berries placed in a basket on it, some chairs around the table, the softest-looking bed I've ever seen, a door to some sort of patio or balcony, as well as a couple of other rooms, neither of which I was worried about at this time, as it was very late. After eating a couple oran berries, I jumped right onto the bed, and almost seemed to melt into it... well, okay, I didn't literally do that, but it might have looked that way. I then remembered that I forgot to take off my helmet, but was already too tired to get out of the bed, and take the helmet off. I stayed in the bed, looking like a puddle of goop, and fast asleep.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I stayed in that closet, not wanting to come out of it and face that vile demonic cat once more, when, out of nowhere, someone tries to open the door. I keep it closed by holding the handle myself, and thankfully, they seem to have given up... well, not all was well, unfortunately, as a few small earthquakes warned me of a conkeldurr who just decided to pay us all a visit. I could hear William from the other side of the door, shouting, however, due to me being scared out of my mind right now, I only heard a few key things... ""Samuel needs help!"" and ""Just come out... teleport away!"" I eventually gathered my strength to get out of the strange room that I was hiding in, and notice a knocked-out Samuel, a hiding William, and a rampaging conkeldurr... who noticed me almost immediately. I fumble around with my badge for a little bit, and eventually press the button, which I assumed teleported everyone away, and, thankfully, teleported away. I ended up back in that guild place, with that skitty looking right at me. ""uh... look, I don't want any trouble..."" I say to the thing, still scared. The thing then completely confused me by handing me some money... as well as a white-colored gummi. ""Um... what just happened?"" I ask everyone as soon as they materialize behind me. Looking at my teammates, I decide to hand William the white gummi, given that, for some odd reason, I never really liked that flavor of gummi as much as I should, and he was the right type of pokemon for it. As I hand William the gummi, that chatot flies up, and takes the money I just got from that skitty, and hands me the much smaller sum of 100 poke from that bag. After all of that was done, I head off towards my bed, and sure, while it wasn't as nice as the one I used to have at home, it was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in... just for the fact that, for the first time in my life, I was away from my father."

""What the hell just happened?!"" I yell, coughing and gasping for air. ""Chatot, I think I have something EXTREMELY important to tell Wigglytuff,"" I say to him as I lift up Samuel and carry him on my shoulder. I carry my friend Samuel down the ladder and into the crew rooms and set him on his bed. I grasp my forehead and think about what might happen if I tell Wigglytuff about it. I've heard he's very childish, and that sometimes he can freak out... I bet the other guildmaster would handle it better, maybe. I should probably tell them both, or maybe just Wigglytuff... Agh, it was too late now. I have to get some sleep...<br/><br/>I cough a few times before drifting off to sleep, into many nightmares. Things like my head being in that box, and just horrible things about that place, making me jump up and scream. After a while, Samuel wakes up. ""Ooah... is this heaven? Where's Arceus?!"" Samuel moans. I shush him and whisper ""This is the guild. Arceus isn't here."" I rub my forehead again and whisper ""I can't sleep..."" as I pop the white gummi in my mouth and chew it, eventually swallowing it. It tasted delicious, and I sigh... ""I think I'm going to have nightmares for weeks, after that little trip..."" I whisper, then I try to go to sleep again, this time having a nightmare about Wigglytuff. It ended as quickly as it started... all I could remember was that something bad happened at the giant house, with only him there. When I reflect on it, I think<i>I must tell both of them. There isn't any way I'm going to let him die, or something...</i>and I shake Samuel awake and tell him my dreams. ""Just sleep!"" Samuel groans before quickly falling back asleep. I sigh and close my eyes..."

They went up to the Shelgon and Grovyle behind the desk. ""We're with Terra as well."" Matt said. They gave him the key to room 252.<br/>""Someone might come in here tonight and ask where I am. If they do, could you not tell them I'm here?"" Josh said. After a nod from the Grovyle, he smiled. ""Thanks.""<br/>The first floor was probably the least sanitary place Josh had seen, second only to a few places in the reef. The second floor, although not nearly as bad as the first, still had some missing tiles, and mold growing in a few places. The third floor was completely different. It was absolutely spotless, and everything from the floor tiles to the torch handles appeared to be made of gold. They walked along the hallway until they came across a door labelled ""252"", and went inside.<br/><br/>Inside, there was a bed that appeared to be extremely comfortable. There was also a solid gold bathtub, which lifted Josh's spirits a little. At least he wouldn't be confined to the bucket. Matt filled it with water and put Josh in before lying down in the bed and drifting off to sleep. Josh tried to calm down and get some rest, but he couldn't get much sleep no matter how comfortable he was. Every time he managed to fall asleep, he would be awoken by nightmares similar to the one he had back in the cave. Zane was here in Scale City, and the others that escaped could be anywhere. He wished that they hadn't followed him. Now they were in just as much danger as he was. He knew he had to find out where they were hiding, because if he didn't, Zane would."

She'd been travelling for<i>weeks</i>! Okay, maybe not weeks, but days at least, and her feet were sore as all hell. Letting out a sigh, she forced herself to stand tall and proud. She had made it to Allure Town, and now she could finally sign up an an adventurer! But first, she needed a rest. Her dark crimson gaze looked upwards towards the sky in habit. The stars were more visible here then they were at her old clan, and she marveled in watching them for a bit, before someone tapping her shoulder brought her to her senses with a start.<br/><br/>""Ah! Oh, hi - you startled me."" She said, looking over at the vaporeon that was standing next to her. It had a badge of sorts on a bag that was strapped around it's arm, and it had a jolteon beside it. The two of them looked at Glass curiously and the Disaster Pokemon grew hot under her fur. ""Uh... Hello?""<i>Sheesh, if I'd of known that Allure Town's welcome was an awkward staring contest, I'd of gone to Treasure To-</i><br/><br/>""Hi there! I'm Vapor and this is my partner Jolt! We're recruits in Arnold's Guild, which means we're explorers! Nice to meet you miss..?"" Glass was brought out of her thoughts by the vaporeon suddenly blurting out a hello and an introduction, before asking for her name. This time it was Glass's turn to stare.<i>Did that really just happen?</i>She thought awkwardly, before nodding politely to the water type.<br/><br/>""Um, nice to meet you Vapor... I'm Glass.""<br/>""Oh! Glass! What a nice name! Say are you here to join the guild? You should! It'd be so fun!""<br/>""O-Okay... Is the guild where I sign up to be an adventurer?""<br/>""Oh yes yes! You can do that too!""<br/>""Could you point me in the direction please..?""<br/>""Of course! Straight ahead till you get to the shop - that's the one with the Zwelious - then take the next right and you're there!""<br/><br/>Glass said her thanks to the odd pair and started walking, looking around for the shop that had the Zwelious, scanning around her. She soon spotted the stall where there probably would be a shop and continued walking, taking the first right she found. She came up to a large building that was shaped very much like a wigglytuff's head. She decided against going in at that exact moment, instead going to wait for the day. She left the entrance and walked away, before resuming her bored walking, hoping to memorized the town to as not to get lost."

Hex said, following up after the rest of the team had gotten their keys, glancing at them as they slimed or floated up the stairs. ""Of course you are."" The Grovyle replied, a wide grin on it's face, placing a key inscribed with<i>253</i>on it. She stared at it awkwardly for a second, reflecting on the fact that she had no hands, before the Grovyle decided to just throw it into her bag over the counter. She thanked them and began her ascent upstairs.<br/><br/>The first floor was a complete mess. Mold grew on the corners of the walls, and actually covered some of the doorways. Tiles were unhinged and some were flown across the room, and dirt spattered the unruly floor in various patterns of pokemon footprints and the like. Hex had never seen something so completely messy and disgusting, and the smell was absolutely awful. As if someone had recently dumped a dead body in there. She gagged before quickly fluttering to the next floor.<br/><br/>The next floor was not at all as bad as the first. It still retained plenty of dirt smeared across the the floor and the lower parts to the wall. Some fresh vegetation flourished in the corners and cracks in the ceiling, some low hanging vines even reaching out to touch any passerby who had the misfortune to come on by. Several pokemon stood around, mostly fire types who lazily blew puffs of smoke from their mouths, along with some slight floating embers. Hex coughed as she flew up to the next.<br/><br/>The next was completely different from the first and the second. The walls appeared to be made out of pure gold, and the tiles seemed just like it.<i>Must've taken at least a hundred Persians paydaying to produce this much gold.</i>Hex thought to herself, staring around at the luxurious halls. She awkwardly fumbled with the key for a second, working hard to try to shove it into the key lock, until she eventually settled on just biting it and opening up the door.<br/><br/>Almost immediately, Hex collapsed into a bed, feeling the wears and tears of the day in the city sliding off of her. Eventually she began to fade into a deep sleep, her bag lying perpendicular to her."

I can go to that guild!</i>She thought happily, filling in the hollow and shaking some more stray grains of sand from her white coat. She yawned and shook her head to clear her thoughts, stretching once more as she trotted off towards where she remembered Allure Town was.<br/><br/>She climbed up the small cliff, her paws gliding across the stone with practiced precision. She bounded up the rock with great balance, before jumping up onto the edge of the rock known as Sharpedo Bluff. She had come down this way the other day, and she had a fairly good knowledge of the area. She walked past the Kangaskhan storage shop and trotted off towards the center of Treasure Town, her dark crimson eyes scanning the signs that pointed to the nearby towns and dungeons. She turned left towards Allure Town and increased her trot to a slow-ish jog as she went along, hoping to make Allure Town rather quickly. Her hopes were granted as she saw the town coming into view. Increasing her speed, Glass ran towards the town, before slowing down rather quickly with a skidding halt as she turned to the Guild entrance. Stepping onto the grid, Glass stood tall, her dark red eyes looking ahead with glee. She was going to become an adventurer!"

After encountering a swift pain on my head I get up and blink. 'First one up I assume.' I think to myself as I look out the window. Seeing the light pouring in I look around the room to find Ratnika still sleeping lying against the wall. I pull out a piece of paper and begin to scribble on it. ""Going outside for some fresh air."" after I am done writing down the note I place it close to Ratnika and walk outside the room. After walking down the hallway and seeing multiple drowsy pokemon, I make my way to the front door of the guild and head outside.<br/><br/>Walking forward and thinking to myself I begin to wonder what sort of things will happen today. Looking at the ground I don't realize that there was a pokemon right in front of me. Bumping into it I look up and begin to apologize. Before me I see an Absol with a white orb imbedded in its head. ""Sorry about that. I wasn't watching where I was going."" I tell the Absol. Bowing my head again I say sorry once more and take a step to the side. ""I'm Ven by the way."" I tell the Absol politely and I bow my head in greeting. ""Whats your name?"" I ask the Absol."

She asked, peeking inside the guild to see pokemon of all shapes and sizes. Her heart raced in excitement, and she could feel a bouncy energy build up as she looked inside the guild and at the boards. This would be one fun ass adventure in itself."

Even though I was awake, I still felt sleepy, unfortunately. I yawn as I head out the door, and into the mess that was the ground floor of the hotel.<i>I guess you really do get what you pay for...</i>I then think as I carefully avoid the mold on the floor and head back to the desk. The two behind the desk seemed as energetic as usual, however, they looked the other way when they saw me. I almost heard one mutter ""Well, you get what you pay for... don't sue us..."" I would have said something, but, I was a little too tired to put my thoughts into words at this time. I also had somewhere to be, and I also had a criminal to catch here in town... no, not these guys, who should consider actually cleaning the lower floors, and doing whatever they need to in order to let that happen... there was someone else out there, someone who was the source of my frustration. I open the door to see the bright, blue sky, and nearly feel blinded for a second. My eyes adjust to the sun, and I start my search. Apparently, word was getting around about some hero by the name of 'Shadowlight'... how odd, but, it didn't stop me. I started my search at the dojo, which was really more of a way for me to spend the rest of my money... you know, just to make sure I didn't end up back in that hotel, again... well, that and hopefully, this would give me a way to calm myself down, as I was still frustrated from yesterday's little goose chase. The building itself looked a little strange, as it seemed to have a cube shape as if it were a standard building, and not one of the 'important' buildings. The structure itself was made of reeds, some of which were painted blue or red. It was a sharp contrast to the other buildings, which almost looked as if they came from the future. I went inside, and was greeted by a very battle-torn garchomp. He seemed to have scars and cuts all over his body, and yet, despite having giant gashes on both of his eyes, he could still see, apparently. ""Ah, another has come into my dojo. Welcome, strange snivy."" the garchomp says to me. He then asks ""What would you like me to do?"" I hand him the 150 poke that I still had, and he says ""Hm... well, you can train against my students with this much, I suppose..."" after that, he hands me back 50 poke, and shouts ""STUDENTS! Another trainee!"" A blue-colored noibat, a dratini, and an axew emerge from some random door, and each of these pokemon seemed to have a small blue badge on them... strange. The noibat flies up to me, and says ""I'll be your first opponent... um... be ready!"" I then prepare to attack the small, batlike pokemon.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I almost felt as though I had melted into the bed from how comfortable it is, however, the sun's rays found their way over to me, waking me up. I stretch and yawn before jumping off of my bed. Once I do, I notice some sort of silver plate with a pastry on it. There was a note next to the plate, and once I got there, I pick up the note, and read it... all it said was 'Complimentary'. Oh, sure, there was some miltank milk next to the pastry, as well as an oran berry, but the main event was the pasrty, which was pretty much gone as soon as I picked it up. It was a pecha berry pastry, and it tasted great. It was very sweet, even without the frosting on the top, and the crust was very flaky, and added a nice 'bread' flavor to the mix. I then finished off the milk, and took the oran berry with me, just in case I end up in trouble on this 'Mt. Dragoncoil'. I figured that everyone else might still be asleep, and there were a couple rooms in my, er, room, that I haven't even seen yet, so I headed over there, slithering across the golden tiles, which were somehow warm to the touch, and end up in a room with two different baths. One of them had a wooden frame, and the other was just as gold as everything else, and had an odd, irregular shape. I decide to try out the wooden one while I was waiting for the others, turning some sort of knob as far as it would go. Water quickly poured into the thing, and steam began to fill the room. I jumped in, and felt even more relaxed from the warmth of the water. The bubbles helped as well, and, after not too long, it almost seemed as though I was just a helmet floating around in the water.<i>I wonder when everyone else will wake up.</i>I think as I continue to stay in this hot water. I'm sure that if I were a different pokemon, for example, a krabby, I wouldn't find this too relaxing, but, since I wasn't anything like that, it was very relaxing to me.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>The bed was very comfortable, and I actually had a good dream for once. It actually didn't start off too great, with my father finding where I was, however, soon enough, that grey snivy from a couple days ago came out of nowhere, and defeated him, leaf blade held high. The dream continued with him asking me to be his girlfriend, him defeating that evil conkeldurr, and the dream kept going long into our old age... that is, until I woke up. For the first time in my life, I woke up energized and ready to go. I jumped right out of my bed, and almost said 'Good morning, everyone!'... but, it seemed as though both of my teammates were still asleep, and I didn't want to disturb them. Instead, I, for the first time in my life, hopped (rather than walked) over to the main hall, where that chatot was just waking up... for some odd reason, he was heading down the ladder. I thought he would sleep in the guildmaster's room, but apparently not. ""Hey, good morning, whatever your name is!"" I shout to the chatot, who squawks in surprise, and turns around. ""B-bonnie!? Uh, good morning. Why are you up so early? Oh, and I'll have you know that my name is Charlie,"" he responded, to which I responded ""Uh... I dunno, I just feel ready to wake up. Are there any good missions on that board?"" Charlie then mumbles to himself, and heads into the guildmaster's room. I simply head up the ladder, and start looking around on the board. It seemed as though something was going to happen, but, I was just too ready to go to stay here for any longer than I have to. A few of the missions looked decent, but none of them really stood out to me, yet... maybe I just have to look harder, or something."

I sigh, and relax, because I had finally woken up. I take in deep breaths before standing up and waking Samuel up. He swats at me, still asleep, the first time but eventually wakes up. I mumble a bit and rub my eyes as I start slouching. I yawn, and stretch, and Samuel does the same. ""Are you copying me?"" I ask, and he repeats what I just said. I sneer at him, and then walk into the main place, and cough a little. ""What time is it?"" I ask as I pass by Chatot. I get no answer, so I lean on a wall to try and stay awake but my eyes slowly close and my head droops with my mouth partially open, and my tongue was hanging out just a bit. I begin slightly snoring and fall. I wake up as soon as I slip and I can't stop it, and I fall flat on my face. I get up and wipe dirt off my hands and arms and face, and crack my knuckles. I climb up the ladder, albeit slowly, and when I get up there, I see only see you and a Zorua who quickly forms into a kecleon and it's obvious he's trying to hold back laughter as he plans to copy me, like a mirror. I look at him and he looks back. When I begin walking, he does too.<br/><br/>""Agh, great, now I have two idiots copying me,"" I say as Samuel climbs up the ladder and immediately gets on the other ladder. ""Well, I guess one, now."" I rub my eyes again and ask ""My bed at home is so much more comfortable, but the way the room feels, the way... everything here feels... it feels so much better for some reason... so what do we have to do here?""<br/><br/>-Samuel-<br/>I wake up with William poking me with a stick he found lying around. I swat it out of his hands and I go back to sleep, to my dream. I wake up after more poking and stand up, and stare at William, and start coping everything he does. He walks out of the room, and I do to, and he tries to sleep standing up, aaaand he kinda failed. He fell flat on his face, getting a nose full of dirt, and he stands up, coughing and kicking. I bust out laughing and say ""Try again next time, bud,"" and he climbs up the ladder. I follow him, but decide I wanted to roam around town and climb up the second ladder, out of the guild and into Treasure Town. I walk around Treasure Town and see a cute Kirlia, and I walk up to her and try to make a petty pick-up line. ""Hey girl, did you use attract, because I'm definitely infatuated to you,"" I say to her and she giggles. ""Cuti-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"" she screams as she sees my er... blood of the eyes. I see her run off, screaming and crying. ""Oh."""

She put her costume back on, before heading to the city, and starting to jump from building to building. She was heading to the hotel, wanting to go and fallow Spruce. What she saw only was him walking away, towards the dojo it seemed. He was going to train it seemed.... it might be a good idea to train here, but if she did fight, he might figure out her finding style and then blow her cover, and the costumes whole purpose.

It used dragon rage towards the dratini, knocking it on the ground. Shadowlight stared at this, and growl, before jumping down and then striking the deino with swift, striking it hard.<br/>""What in the world!"" the deino cried out. Shadowlight stares at him.<br/>""Attacking the innocents.... have you no shame!"" Shadowlight then says. The deino looked at him.<br/>""Who are you!"" the deino yelled. Some pokemons were starting to move towards the scene, looking at what was happening, seeing Shadowlight and the \Deino.<br/>""I... am Shadowlight, defender of peace, protector of the innocents! Warrior of the right! You shall suffer for your crime!"" Shadowlight then says.<br/><i>God dang it... I sound like Kamina right now... if he were to see this.... while our travels I will never hear the end of it, especially if he discovers who I am.</i>Shadowlight though to herself. The deino then yelled in rage and used dragon rage. Shadowlight took the hit, but then used confuse ray, making the deino miss completely his next attack, hitting a wall. Shadowlight then rushed and blasted the guys hard on the side with hidden power, sending him crashing in the wall, fainting him. Pokemons were looking at what happen, and stares at Shadowlight, who then gave and nods to them.<br/>""My work here is done..."" he says before jumping to a wall, and then propelling herself wall to wall, going on a building and then running off. Lucky that suit had very good grip. She ran off farther, waiting a bit, and keeping a eye on the dojo while she waited for Spruce. She needed to rest and heal up a bit, that dragonrage did hurt her a bit."

I felt exhausted, which shouldn't be the case; I'm a Magnemite, not a damn... something. Regardless, I began floating upwards, ignoring the state of my third magnet for once. Rubbing my head, I passed by light wooden doors and panels of yellow-painted wood before meeting up with the owner.<br/><br/>Or rather, just someone behind the wide reception. ""Yeah, I'd like to return this key."" I said, apparently bored, getting the attention of the Grovyle. He seemed as tired as I was, attending to a Farfetch'd that had began complaining over the dampness of the first floor - that place was rotting his pink rhubarb.<br/><br/>""Oh, yeah... sure, just hang on a minute."" Talking to me, he was suddenly relaxed, no longer stressed. Unfortunately, he just realised this and unwittingly went back to talking the Farfetch'd out of burning his house down with lemons. I rolled my eye, flicking the key onto the polished bench and leaving some yellow arcs on it. Without another word, I left the hotel, shutting my eyelids halfway to cope with the sudden light.<br/><br/><i>Oh lord. As if the moonlight didn't get to me.</i>It was awfully sunny, a contrast to last night where clouds occasionally blotted out the moon. However, they didn't pass silently; they left puddles and drops of water around Scale City. I was slightly worried I could accidentally fall into the water and shock an unfortunate Pokemon, but how would that happen? That Porygon sneaks behind my back again? Getting that out of the way, I had opened my eyelids, feeling less tired as each minute passed. I had no idea what was going on with myself, now that I required breathing, sleep, and... damn, I was getting hungry.<br/><br/>Using the Pokes floating in orbit around me (which no one and even myself didn't notice at times), I went by a thin yet tall tree, carefully dodging droplets of water before floating behind a Vibrava as he was counting his Pokes. I looked around the place, shaken from yesterday and fearing another attack.<br/><br/>""Hey, what's up?""<br/><br/>""Hm?"" I turned to the shopkeeper, taking my eyes off a group of dragon Pokemon. Which I would later realise was actually a fight going on. ""Oh yes. I'd like to buy several Oran berries. Is it possible not to have them mushy?""<br/><br/>After a minute, I was leaving with confusion - I didn't know how to eat. So, using the only opening on my face, I reluctantly mashed the Oran berry into my eye. Thankfully, it didn't hurt, and in fact it worked. The only bit I was not too keen on was humiliation. After squashing two into my eye and cleaning by closing my eyelids, I felt refreshed and energised, ready to go for an adventure.<br/><br/>My adventure for the time being would be joining the crowd and witnessing a fool. Well, maybe a good fool. How about not a fool at all? I didn't know, because I could only see the hero for a few seconds. (I'm aware of the term 'heroine' from dusty comic books, but I'm definitely sure it's a male... or, a high-pitched male.) Sure enough, I decided to leave, getting a distinct feeling that someone I needed was at the dojo across the plaza.<br/><br/>What did I know? That hero was there alright, still got a suit on and everything..."

Matt said, handing him a pastry.<br/>""You eat it, Matt. I'm not hungry."" Josh said, pushing it away.<br/>""I know you're a little stressed about what happened yesterday, but you need to eat something."" He split the pastry in half. ""At least eat this. You need your energy today.""<br/>Josh reluctantly took the pastry, and took a bite out of it as they headed down the stairs.

""Ugh..."" I end up saying as I slide down the wall. I get back up, however, not to be defeated so easily, and leer at the noibat, as well as secretly prepare for another tackle attack... which comes shortly after. This time, I was prepared enough to dodge the attack, and counter with another Void whip. The thing was nearly beaten, and I was ready to finish him off when he shouts ""ENOUGH!"" He then retreats, and Gabe tosses me an oran berry to heal up the wounds that I have taken. I quickly eat the thing, and my next opponent, the dratini, slithers forwards, while the noibat quickly eats his own oran berry. ""Alright, let's make this quick,"" the dratini says to me before Gabe says ""Fight two... begin!"" I manage to attack with Void Whip before the dratini could do anything, which the thing wasn't expecting one bit. He tried to counter with the move wrap, however, I was able to dodge the move, and continue on, this time with leer... a move that I feel as though I should replace ASAP. Another wrap, but, this time, I wasn't so lucky.... this... wasn't the best thing in the world, and I was trying to break free attacking with Void whip after Void whip, but this thing was durable, and persistent. As soon as I was freed from wrap, I managed a powerful, well-aimed void whip right to the thing's face, knocking him out. As soon as he woke back up, he said ""E-enough... ow..."" and slithered back to his position. My next opponent would be the axew, and I knew I had to come prepared.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I finally found a mission that didn't look too difficult or nightmare-inducing. Apparently, some mother Pyroar lost her son in sunnyside plains, which meant that I got to head back to that place, and perhaps even meet my friends again... of course, I would be helping out a cat... I'd just have to try my hardest not to run away this time, as it could have led to someone's death last time I did that.<i>I'll just have to be braver... and this is the best mission on here... the only one for us, at least.</i>I think as I take the mission off of the board and look around for my teammates. I heard both William and Samuel here earlier when I was trying to pick out a mission, but I was a little too focused to respond... thankfully, it seemed as though William was still here, and I quickly showed him the mission, and asked ""Hey, do you know where Samuel went? We should try to find him before we head off,"" that voice almost didn't seem like my own... after such a nice rest, I didn't sound as though I was constantly fighting back tears and pain... I almost sounded normal, for some reason, and that much was apparent to a nearby bellsprout who was carrying some odd, unidentifiable item. ""Hm? You sound different today, Bonnie,"" he responded... though, why or how he knew me by name was beyond me, given that I have never met a bellsprout before. He then continued with ""...uh, Bonnie? Why are you giving me that confused look?"" After a bit of thinking, he simply continued on with ""Oh, right, the name part... I kinda overheard you introducing yourself to your team. Congrats on joining, by the way,"" I then turn my attention back towards William, though, I was slightly annoyed with that bellsprout for eavesdropping on me."

I jump at the sudden, random loudness, and hear ""ONE! DON'T SHIRK WORK!"" and I rub my eyes as I go invisible for a second to see what was happening. ""TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY!"" I hear, and the sheer loudness makes me fall. It kicks up some dust, and I lie still, and there's silence. Everyone seemed confused, since they couldn't see a thing, but something made the dirt and rock shift. After about a minute of random chatting, Chatot says ""Well, then, back to the morning chant!"" and I hear ""THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!"" and then the group is released. ""I wonder where that new team went... I was going to introduce them,"" Chatot grumbles. I climb up the ladder as fast as possible and go back to normal. ""Ow... my ears hurt after that..."" I whine, rubbing my head. ""I don't know where Sam went, I think he's in Treasure Town somewhere."" I climb up the ladder and walk down the hill, and hear a scrafty yelling something, and I walk in that direction.

I hear some stomps behind me, and I look back and see a Scrafty, and that same Kirlia. The scrafty walk over to me, pulling up his pants every two steps. He growls at me, and says ""You hit on my girl, and then you make her cry, bro!"" and he pushes me. I begin sweating and he pushes me again. I say ""Stop! I didn't mean to,"" and he pushes me a third time. His pants almost fall from him not pulling them up, again. ""You might want to get smaller pants,"" I say and he glares at me. He pushes me to the ground and spits on me. The acid lands right on my stomach, and I squeal like a wild spoink as it begins burning me. He then picks me up and throws me to the ground and when I get up, he continues shoving me. Bloody tears were flowing down my face and I begin to feel dizzy. The Kirlia runs up and says ""Stop! Stop, I think he knows! Please, stop..."" and the Scrafty continues beating me up and taunting me. I had a sense that he was holding back on beating down on me because of my small size, but that thought was diminished after he picks me up and slams me against a wall, really hard.

Well, best to just wait. She breath in deeply, and observed the place around. People were walking around, talking, some talking about weather, some about the whole fact that she was beating down criminals around town. At least this would make the crime rate drop a bit.

It flooded into the room, revealing more details of the heavily luxurious room. The bed was a comfortable and warm, and she felt like she could sink into the sheets at any time and suffocate, they were so deep. A feeling of warmness gushed out around her, and she slowly fluttered into the air, shrugging off the blanket.<i>This is better than home life,</i>Hex realized.<i>I should do this more often.</i><br/><br/>""Hm? Oh!"" Hex, noticing a pastry on her bed, almost immediately tried to wolf it down. Usually she didn't get much better than honey or berry jam. She had seen something like this before. It occasionally came in as a rare treat, from her mother. Usually, she never got to eat it, but it always smelled delicious and her mother always seemed to savor it. She bit straight into it, flying right above it, and tried to chew on the thin wheat crust.<br/><br/>Hex finally got a good grip on it with her mouth, only to find she couldn't really bite into it, considering she didn't really have teeth. She went through various stages of gripping it with her mouth, trying to get possibly one sharp end of her mouth into the pastry, only to soon find out she couldn't really do anything about it. Hex eventually, frustrated, gusted the pastry in her bag to save it for later, or maybe crush it up to slurp.<br/><br/>Hex eventually tried to set up a bath for herself, only to realize she had no hands, and couldn't push the faucet. A couple of strong gusts later, and only getting a slight drip out of the faucet, she decided to head out and pack up her stuff. Hex slung the bag over her body and fluttered outside, gusting the door open with a strong one. She saw Joshua and Matt in the lobby, waiting, so she just decided to wait for Anthony, who was probably enjoying absorbing the pastry into his body."

I was way more relaxed than when I first got in the tub. I make sure to grab my helmet, and then head out of my room. Oddly enough, there wasn't gold everywhere, but it was still clean-looking. I was slightly disappointed, as it seemed as though just yesterday the place was covered in gold, and now it just looked like a normal hotel. I made my way down the stairs, secretly dreading the fact that I had to, however, there wasn't mold and moss growing everywhere, this time. Yeah, there were a few dirty spots here and there, but it wasn't anything like yesterday... strange. I continued down to the bottom floor, which was looking much cleaner than it used to... again, it was somewhat obvious that less attention was paid to the upkeep of this area, but at least it was passable. Josh, Matt, and Hex were all in the lobby, waiting for me. ""Okay, great! Everyone's here!"" I hear someone shout from behind. It was enough to make me jump, and then turn around... only to see Terra, as well as a tiny pokemon who seemed to be poking his head out of her bag. ""Hewwo, sluggy-guy!"" the smaller pokemon said to me. Terra then sighs, and says ""Everyone, meet Blaze. I'm going to see if I can't disguise him before we leave, though."" I then, smiling, say ""Hey there, little Blaze."" Blaze then puts his head back in the bag, and Terra heads outside.

She makes it there without much trouble, however, once inside, it turns out the entire place was taken up by a giant line. ""LET ME THROUGH!""

Of course, this could have been the first time they've ever seen a fairy type, or something, so...<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I try my hardest to follow William all the way to some sort of fight between himself, a scrafty, and Samuel. There was also a pink dratini wrapped around the scrafty, for some odd reason. Looking at the scene, as well as one that unfolded between William and another keckleon, I eventually decide that using Attract on the scrafty would be the best course of action. I then look at the kirlia who was now staring daggers at me, and whisper to her ""I'm only doing this to get him to stop fighting... I don't actually like him,"" she then calms down and I continue distracting the scrafty while everyone else either runs off, or attacks him. Unfortunately, I didn't really have a decent attack I could use, hence the reason why I used attract in the first place.<i>Please work... please work...</i>I think as I continue trying to make sure he doesn't attack everyone. It wasn't exactly easy, as he seemed pretty dang angry... and I had to make sure that the dratini didn't also see, else this might just cause more trouble. I then check my bag really quickly, only to find nothing that might help... I was thinking about possibly using switcheroo while he wasn't looking to give him some sort of damaging item, but I didn't have anything like that. I used switcheroo anyways, taking his cheri scarf while he was distracted, and actually giving him nothing in return. I then wondered if I should keep this or not... it would be stealing if I did, however, it's not like he's exactly the most law-abiding citizen here, as he was attacking a kid right in the middle of town. I then whisper to Samuel ""Hey, try paralyzing him, he just lost an item that was preventing that."" I then hoped that he had some kind of luck with his attacks, of course, if he was paralyzed and infatuated, then this fight will be loads easier."

Now I definitely know something.<br/><br/>As I read the paper, a breeze or two lifted the dust around the dojo, formed by the training of two Pokemon furiously battling it out. One I knew as our team leader, and he owning those two weak Pokemon.<i>Spruce dumped us for a lone mission assignment. Now, I could think of... everyone else being better for the job. I mean, he was a leader, not a negotiator of hostages.</i>I thought to myself, looking at the crumpled paper in between my magnets before tossing the paper onto the floor. I didn't realise that hero would swipe it off the same floor until later. I did know he was here through the glass ceiling of the dojo, just by looking up and getting blinded by the sunlight. I snorted, again, something I shouldn't do as a Magnemite. Increasingly, I was worried I would lose my mind over the stress of everything. Then, I realised I was just being a drama queen, smiling weakly as I began moving.<br/><br/><i>I hate thieves.</i>I passed a pillar of red wood and a few bundles of reed stuck in sand, hovering in the air as usual and actually quite unsure of my current objective. I would have to follow Spruce's lead and convince him we (or rather I) have more urgent matters to attend to. I'll repeat myself: Davis is dead. And by the looks of things, only we're capable of stopping Dementia. Assuming everyone else who's better than us is as ignorant as Geodudes. So, instead of training, I just left the dojo and awaited outdoors by two more red pillars, ignoring the passage of busy dragon Pokemon talking among themselves in groups."

I yell, pushing the Dratini away. ""I'm going to be fine, I've had worse,"" I say. I get a glance of the Kirlia grabbing the Scrafty and using teleport. ""Damn it!"" I yell, slamming the ground with my fists. ""Now they're gone."" I say, looking at the spot where they use to be. I sit down on the wall and groan as I begin to rest again. I breathe deeply a few times before feeling a bit refreshed, but I still had bruises and burns. ""I just have to stop by the healer for a minute. I'll be back soon."" I say, walking down the dirt road.<br/><br/>I get to the healer and show him my back and my front. ""500 Poke, and I can treat those. At least, for now,"" he says, and I take out all the money I had, separate 150 from it, and hand him the 500 Poke. ""Ugh... so what's going to happen?"" I ask as I walk into his tent. Inside, there was two other Pokemon, one Lucario with half of his snout missing, and a Quilava who looked fine, but he had a wrap around his forehead. I sit down on a piece of cloth suspended by metal supports and the healer looks at all my injuries. He says ""Hm. Well, the bruises will go away on their own, you just need a lot of wrapping for that stomach of yours,"" as he looks in a box and pulls out bandaging, and some pasty looking stuff. He coats the burn with the paste, and it felt numb, and stung. He then takes the bandaging and wraps it all around my burn. It almost looked like some kind of weird shirt without any sleeves. I stand up and he puts more bandaging around my neck and the back of my head, both of which were bleeding a bit.<br/><br/>I shake his hand and I walk back to the group, and grab Will's arm and pull him away from the Kecleon Shop, since he was now in a very heated argument with the shopkeeper. I bring him over to Bonnie and Will says ""Bonnie and I were looking for you. We have a mission... like... an easy one, I think."" I look at Bonnie and ask ""So, what is the mission?"""

After that, he shouted ""Final battle... BEGIN!"" the axew caught me off guard with how quickly he pulled off his attack, and worse, to my surprise, it wasn't an ordinary scratch or bite attack, instead, some sort of light energy was put into his attack, which made it hurt that much more. ""Gah!"" I shouted from the pain. I then jumped back, hoping that he wouldn't attack again before I could at least hit him. I tried my old reliable, my usual form of attack against these dragons, my void whip on the thing, and, unfortunately, it didn't seem to really do all that much to him.<i>Great, now I'm a part of a hidden type disadvantage or something... I'm going to have to be lucky to get out of this one.</i>I think as I look around for literally anything that could help me and wasn't in my bag... no matter how tough this fight gets, it would be downright stupid to waste my items here instead of in the actual fight where I probably won't just get healed afterwards if I lose. I then notice the axew rushing towards me again, and thankfully, I had enough time to get away from the attack, mainly by jumping off to my left. I then do something I've never done before, I used tackle. It was my only decent attacking option, and it did seem to hurt the axew more than void whip did at this point, however, that put me close to him, which was bad if I needed to continue avoiding his light slashes. I take another one, this time to my left cheek, and even though that wasn't much of a sensitive area, it still burned, and still hurt quite a bit. I manage to get away from the thing again and hit the thing with vine whip, as there seemed to be no need for me to use void whip, which, as expected, didn't do much, but at least didn't leave me close enough for him to attack. If I was going to continue using tackle, I'd have to use it sparingly... and unfortunately, that's the only way I could really damage him.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Er... right! Some mother pyroar lost her son somewhere in the sunswept plains! Oh, um, fun fact, that's actually my old home."" I say to the group, sounding somewhat cheerier than I usually do. Of course, this was shaping up to be... well, it wasn't really much of a BAD day, yet. Yeah, that scrafty attacked us earlier, but he was handled easily enough, and without anyone even fainting. That's always a plus. The fact that the sky didn't have a cloud in it, and the fact that it was warm, but not too warm only seemed to reassure the fact that today was a good day.<i>Hm... I wonder if I'll be able to keep this attitude... I kinda like it!</i>I think as I wait for the others to do something, after all, it probably still wouldn't really be wise to leave and do this mission on my own, as there were still many more of them than there were of us. Heck, it might have even been safe to say that I think nothing could possibly go wrong with today, it was that good of a day to me for some reason. I looked over to where that other keckleon went, and saw his shop, which appeared to be filled with pretty much the same items that were sold over at Bob and Ed's stall... yet... nobody was using the keckleon's stall for some odd reason. This might have been the reason for the keckleon's bored face, and might have also been the reason why he was just standing there, flipping a coin constantly, and not even a high-valued coin either, this one was only worth a single poke... a small detail that led me to believe that his stall was almost never filled with customers, as unfortunate as that was, I didn't really have any money to buy things, else, I might have actually supported his small stall... heck, it would certainly make this a better day for that keckleon."

Ugh... hey, maybe after this we could use some training so something like that doesn't happen again. I think Scale City has a gym."" I notice how nice the weather was. ""Hm. Nice day,"" I say as I smile for the first time in probably a month. ""Also nice to finally be free of working for the Allure News Station. My boss was mean. Right before I quit, he threw a bunch of stuff at me, and swore quite a bit, just for asking him to not yell at me in the office. Strangely, he got lost somewhere in Beach Cave and I went to save him. I'm sure he might have died if it wasn't for me,"" I say, walking towards the northern exit. Once I get there, Samuel pops his neck again and looks like he might use Self Destruct or something. ""What's wro-""<br/><br/>""DON'T ASK ME WHAT'S WRONG YOU LITTLE COLOR-SHIFTING RAT! YOU'RE ALMOST AS BAD AS A FREAKING... ZOROARK OR SOMETHING! GO BACK TO YOUR OWN BUSINESS, FREAK, AND I HOPE YOU STEP ON AN IRON SPIKE, TOO! AGH..."" he says, punching the stone wall. I look at him shocked. ""I HOPE THAT THAT PYROAR DIE-..."" he yells. His face was bright red, probably from anger and embarrassment. He looks at Bonnie and I awkwardly and gulps.<br/><br/>-Samuel-<br/>""S-sorry,"" I say to the group, after my outburst. I take a few deep breaths, and grope my hand. ""Ow..."" I say, and William just walks. He looked kinda scared and freaked out. That<i>would</i>make sense... I scratch the back of my head and cover my face in embarrassment.<br/><br/>As we get to Sunswept Plains, I look around the... well, the plains. A Caterpie squirms past us and I look back at it. ""Huh. Maybe it's from Allure Town or something..."" I say as I see a Mareep walking and grazing, and it turns its head to look at us. As soon as it sees Bonnie its face seemed to light up. It bolts towards us and squeals happily, facing Bonnie. I use Pound on it, making it fall to the ground and then Absorb and it donkey-kicks me in the chest, knocking the air out of me and making me fall to the ground. It gets up, scoffs at Samuel, and turns back towards Bonnie. ""HI!"" It says, obviously very excited to see Bonnie. ""Wow... it's only been a few days, but Leo and I missed you SO MUCH!"" the Mareep says."

Hex said, staring over at Anthony. He seemed especially viscous today, lacking his usually, congealed white slime. Hex noticed the tiles and the walls of the hotel once again. They seemed to be.. different, from yesterday. Before, they shined like pearls, with a beautiful golden luster. Now they seemed more drab and dry, and more like a simple hotel. It must've been an effect of her insatiable fatigue, or the darkness. Maybe she was losing it. Whatever.<br/><br/>Hex greeted Terra g'morning upon her short arrival, and she appeared to be toting around a small pokemon peeking his head out of her bag. She couldn't quite make out what pokemon it was, however. Looked small, but she couldn't quite see the head shape of it, or if it even did have a head. Hex ignored it, and began to follow Terra out of the hotel, alongside Anthony and Josh and Matt. Those two seemed particularly quiet, surprisingly. Usually the always had some short comments.<br/><br/>Eventually, they arrived at Amanda's Threads, which was a short hop away from them. Pokemon clustered around the shop like it was an oasis in a drought. They seemed to be lining up in order to get the best clothes or best stat-inducing items. Clearly something must've bolstered up their business by a massive amount, because usually pokemon didn't just randomly decide to start going to a store. Might've been the fact some explorers bought some clothes from there.<br/><br/>At Terra's command, the pokemon parted immediately, surprisingly. Most of the other dragon types were major beasts, with tough scales and shining, sharp teeth. They easily outnumbered Terra, and could eat her rather easily, if they were wild. Terra walked through them easily, and some even regarded her with fear. One poor Dragonite who's tail accidentally stood in Terra's path seemed to pass out, flopping down onto the ground after pulling his tail outta the way."

Terra showed up almost immediately after Anthony, and he seemed startled when she came up behind him. She had a small Pokemon in her backpack, which seemed to be what was in the egg earlier.<br/>""Now, I'm assuming you guys are wondering what happened yesterday."" Josh said to the group as they left the hotel. ""I'll tell you in a moment. Just wait until we're out of Scale City and I'll explain everything. I need to lay low until then. I don't want Zane or his goons spotting me.""<br/>He let himself sink to the bottom of the bucket, trying to hide himself. He could hear Terra shouting at a bunch of people to get out of the way. He wondered what was going on, but didn't want to risk poking his head out of the bucket. He just kept lying at the bottom of the bucket, hoping they'd get out of Scale City soon."

This happened 3 times until she finally ended up hearing something in another part of town.<br/>""Eh, that guy sure taking time with the money for this hostage here..."" one of the voices said.<br/>""Ya... well, whoever the weakling coming with the money, he better come fast... or else little kecky here gonna have one hell of a stench."" the other voice says.

She then saw a zubat, a koffin and a skuntank, all around a keckleon. Bingo... that is were... but Spruce might have trouble finding them...

Enough to blind me and force me back inside the dojo where my eye began thanking me. I really should've trained to fight off more of Dementia's minions, but of course both Spruce and the dojo seemed rather busy. While I would include defending myself against that Porygon, that would just indicate my paranoia. Surely it was a one-time event, and not related to Davis or so...<br/><br/>That out of my head, I was left rather saddened when it became apparent that Spruce was getting defeated by an Axew. No, not because of the Pokemon itself, but the fact that his moves easily harmed Spruce. This was pretty odd, considering how well he handled the last Pokemon. I simply sighed (which shouldn't be possible), taking a seat on a red bench which was probably used to hold things such as vases. I wished for a Sitrus berry at the moment for myself, although by the looks of it, Spruce would need that more than me. Encouraging a team mate could work, but I'd find that... embarrassing. That and in this world, miracles didn't happen.<br/><br/>Damn sunlight blinding me again. Ah hell. If only Davis supplied me with some sunglasses before he left, even if they were all chipped and broken from the days of the old. Just as I grimaced away from another sudden flash, I had quickly observed the Axew's attacks before turning away once more. It was like... having a torch being pointed at your face for a brief second. Looks like life's given a curse already, about time as miracles didn't exist.<br/><br/>Speaking of curses, I was particularly hurt when a Pokemon of some sorts began dragging me around. ""What the-"" I wasn't physically hurt. I was emotionally hurt.<br/><br/>How did a kid do that? He didn't. His mother did. ""Sweetheart, come on. Stay away from the... oh my Arceus, you need some help."" As the dragon Pokemon left while pretending he was still flying, I was struck by reality. I wasn't exactly considered 'normal' anymore, beginning to possess features only present in living things, such as breathing, eating, and sleeping. Great. I had to stare at the mother taking her child away gently, while she turned her head from him to her as if I was an alien. I felt so offended.<br/><br/>I had a feeling this would be all connected somehow; my bloody dream, Davis and Dementia, Spruce, my team mates... yet, I had already lost myself."

""EN-"" I hear him start to say before I shout ""NO! I'm not done yet!"" I then start gathering that weird energy that seemed to coat my void whip whenever I used it, and formed it into a giant orb above my head. The orb then slams itself into the unsuspecting axew, and explodes into an obscuring grey fog. For some odd reason, I feel more powerful after unleashing that move, or, at the very least, more confident. After locating the still not quite fainted Axew, I slam into him with seemingly redoubled force. The axew was sent flying into the opposite wall, and once the smoke cleared, I saw the axew... just a little too beat up... whoops. Gabe glared at me for a moment, and said ""Agh! This was supposed to be training, as in, DON'T faint your opponent! Nonetheless... you did finally learn how to utilize your secret fifth move."" I then look at him, confused, and he continues ""You see... every pokemon is born with the ability to use these 'fifth moves' of course, they can be used even if you have less than four moves, normally. These moves vary depending on the individual who uses it. In your case, it was destructive, and special-based... but for someone else, it might be a support move, a healing move, or a physical move."" I then ask ""So... if they're powerful, like mine was, why doesn't everyone use these all the time?"" He laughs, and answers ""They can't be used like that. They can only be used under certain circumstances, such as being pushed to one's limit... the actual condition won't be the same for everyone, of course."" I nod, and he hands me a white belt, and sort of shoos me out of his dojo, leaving me with only one question...<i>How the heck did he even know that I'd end up using that?</i>I think, knowing that Gabe's already left, and headed off into his dojo... waiting for the next pokemon to come in and find out about their fifth move. Before I took off, I noticed M. ""Hey, M, how'd you get here?"" I ask him. He seemed weird, for some reason, but I decided to stay out of it. I then wander around, admittedly calmer than I was when I went in. I take a deep breath, and start thinking about possible hideouts for these criminals, no longer really caring to ask the general populace, as they've already pretty much proven their uselessness.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I hold back my laughter as I see a dragonite pass out just from the sight of Terra, and follow Terra towards Amanda, who didn't seem afraid one bit. ""Oh! I, uh, didn't see ya there. Hello, Hex and Matt."" I say to my team. I make sure to not include Josh, and it was apparent that he was hiding from someone, and was even retreated into his bucket at this time. That was just about the time when Terra said to Amanda ""Look... I have no choice but to trust you. Would you please help me with something important?"" Amanda seems to sing, and says ""Of course I'd help~! Anything for a customer,"" the two then head into the back room on Terra's request, leaving me with the rest of my team, and the giant line of dragons wanting to buy random things for a little while. They generally didn't seem to mess with me, or even really say anything to us, and eventually, Terra and Amanda come back out. Terra quickly points to the back of her bag, and I notice Blaze... but, he's wearing a clefairy costume, and doesn't seem to happy about it, either. His face was hidden, as well, just to add to the costume's believability, and she asks ""Well? Will it work, or not, Anthony?"" I snapped out of my daze, and stuttered ""I, um, well, er, uh, maybe?"" She sighs, and walks over to the other teammates, thankful that the dragons went back to buying things and back to ignoring us. She then makes sure to show Blaze, even taking him out of the bag, and asked ""So, do you think this will work?"" She then waited for everyone, while I just stand there, useless.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Samuel just completely lost it... and for absolutely no reason, too. He calmed down after nearly saying that he'd like the pyroar we're helping to die, and only after calling William a 'color-shifting rat'. I was stunned for a while, and almost didn't hear Mike shouting for me. ""Wow... it's only been a few days, but Leo and I missed you SO MUCH!"" I then walk, or rather, hop towards him, and say ""Mike! Wow, um, has anything changed around here? I mean, other than the fact that you're obviously healed from our last run-in,"" Mike then smiles as he says ""Well, nothing much, really, and that suits me just fine. I think I kinda like the calm, worry-free life here,"" I then remember the mission, and ask ""Oh, wait, um, have you seen Leo anywhere, lately?"" I then add ""We've got some sort of mission involving a lost litleo, and he knows almost every litleo in these plains,"" Mike then shakes his head, and says ""Nah... he's went off to explore early today. You know that kid, always ready to run around this place,"" Mike then follows me back to the group, and I introduce ""Mike, meet Samuel and William... um, Samuel's the treecko, and William's the keckleon. Oh, and Samuel and William, this is Mike, one of my friends from before I joined the guild,"" today really was looking up for me. I mean, the perfect weather, the fact that I get to see my old friends again... even if I was only gone for a few days, and a mission in a place I already know isn't too dangerous for us to handle.<i>I guess not every day's going to be torture and pain, huh? I gotta admit, that's a pretty good thing to know.</i>I think as I smile and wait for the team to get acquainted with Mike."

Huh... well, I certainly confused it. It was stumbling around and swiping at the grass. I laugh at the site, since it kinda made the Skitty look a bit drunk, and I see Samuel use Pound on it. It fell to the ground and I high five Samuel, feeling a little bit stronger than I did before. ""Heh... wow..."" I say, and look at Samuel. ""I feel kinda tingly.

Though I'd say 'magnets', I don't think they'd be sufficient in terms of explaining the unusual phenomenon. ""So. Now, you found inner peace.""

I respond to M, who then shouted at someone who apparently attacked him. Curious, and a little miffed, I followed him to the source... an old warehouse of some sort. I look inside and see a skuntank, a koffing, and a zubat all grouped around a bound and gagged keckleon, whom I suspected might be the captive. I look over to M, and look back towards the warehouse. I would have sneaked in if I didn't remember what I was supposed to do. I open the rather large door, and walk inside, surprising the trio of crooks. I then pull out the fake bag of pokecoins and say ""I have the money, so untie Rosebud,"" I tried to keep my tone as normal as possible, though, I obviously failed, as they didn't seem to want to take the money, with the skuntank asking ""Do I look like a moron to you? This bag's full of counterfeits, or fakes, if you didn't understand that word with your tiny, reptile brain,"" he sounded calm, but obviously he wasn't. The three of them then laughed, and the koffing said ""Hey, maybe we'll get more if we nab this dorky kid, too!"" The zubat chimed in with ""Hey, that's not a half-bad idea, Kevin. What do you think about that idea, boss?"" The skuntank simply added ""The idea's good, let's do it,"" I wouldn't let them attack first, however, their boss was too fast, and already hit me with an acid attack... something I really wish he hadn't done, as I really didn't want to think about where THAT junk's been. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to dodge the attack, and worse, I felt a little weaker after it... sure, the attack didn't do much, at least, considering a few factors (it actually hurt like heck, but coming from someone like the 'boss'... well, I expected more). After rubbing my eyes for a bit, I attacked the skuntank, or 'boss', with a void whip, which didn't do as much as I had hoped. The koffing and zubat then attacked with leech life and sludge respectively, though, I managed to hold my ground.<br/><br/>I then decided to attack the zubat with a void whip, somehow knocking the thing out with one hit... no, wait, I actually just hit a weak point, that's all. However... that seemed to be just what they wanted. After the zubat was knocked out, Kevin and 'boss' looked at each other with a look that told me they were cooking up some sort of plan. I didn't have much time to react, and before I knew it, the two were unleashing some sort of combo move against me, combining both of their horrible gasses to make one gas that was just too much for me. The smell alone was enough to hurt... with the damage that I took in that admittedly short fight, I couldn't take the attack for very long, and passed out... my mission was a failure, and now I was a hostage, just, perfect. The last thing I heard was some weird guffawing laughter, and a ""Hey, boss, did I do good this time?"" It was obvious that the second thing was from Kevin, and I could tell that they were going to tie me up... and there was little to nothing I could do about it.<i>I think Charlie sent the wrong guy... I'm sure that if M was sent here, he'd do just fine against the poisonous or bug-based attacks that these thugs employ... heck, even Celes would have a decent chance, type-wise anyways.</i>I think as I lay there, helpless from the noxious fumes.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>For some reason, William, after knocking out the horror that was the skitty, asked how tall he seemed in comparison to Samuel. ""Uh... you're kinda huge. I mean, Sam's about my height, but you tower over both of us,"" I respond, though, I had no idea why he asked us that, I mean, didn't he already know? Either way, I joined in with the others calling out for my friend, though, I'd occasionally shout out ""LEONARDO!"" he hated it when someone called him by that name, and it was actually more likely to draw him out of whatever cover he was using than the name he went by. Mike just sort of followed along humming something until a natu got the idea to try to attack me with peck. He got in the way of that attack, and countered with thundershock. He then said ""You REALLY have nothing better to do with those psychic powers of yours than to pick on random pokemon? What the heck's wrong with you, Nate?"" The natu, apparently called 'Nate' just stood there as if he didn't have the intelligence that usually came with psychic powers, and blinked his eyes a couple times, as if he couldn't understand us at all... that struck both myself and Mike as odd, as a couple days ago, that kid used to gaze up at the starts, always talking about the constellations, what they meant, and how he was going to be the first Xatu to stare at the stars at night, not the sun, and yet here he was, apparently devoid of those thoughts, or really any thoughts other than the most basic of thoughts, and a possible 'kill all intruders' thought in there for good measure. ""Nate?"" I shakily ask Nate, who chirped, and then attacked me with peck, this time actually hitting me, though, not doing all that much. Something was wrong, very wrong."

That was NOT how you handle a hostage situation.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-strike"">If Payday taught me anything, I'd have to force one of the four people into bleedout, maybe Dallas since he seems to be the leader. Bleeding out would allow me to take him into custody, then force a hostage trade. And then I'd have to get... preferably Chains to make sure he doesn't point a Bronco or Reinback at me. If I didn't take Dallas out first his Brenner would definitely put a hole (wrong; several holes) in me. I'd have to move quickly to avoid gunfire from Wolf's sentry and Hoxton's rifle, yet carefully to avoid his trip mines. Bain would obviously inform them that a Magnemite just entered the area, capable of tasering one of them... which would lead to the same result as forcing one of them into bleedout. Hm... they'll attempt to rush out soon with some loot they may have found. I'd have to act quickly.<br/><br/>I need to get the Bulldozer to keep them busy, a Shield to block the Taser (me), and then a few Snipers positioned outside.

Enter the premises slowly, alerting the kidnappers as suddenly entering the area can lead to casualties: ""Hello? My idiot of a friend decided to rush in.""<br/><br/>""Huh? Who're you? Come on out and we won't have to twist your arm around."" So, complying with his instructions, I simply followed the same path as ""Urgh! What the Hell's wrong with you? You've got like this... weird... and these two slashes on you."" At that point, I shuddered slightly. I had to keep my head cool.<br/><br/>""Those are scars no bloody crime gave to me in one day. You scared of a little wound? I got three of 'em, and so far I'm actually looking for more working for the big man.""<br/><br/>""That ain't a scar... and it shouldn't be one anyway."" One of the weaker thugs (Zubat) responded, visibly shaken and trying to back away. The Skuntank just stared at me, unfazed and being rather... unsettling. Thanking, looking over at the Koffing provided relief, since he too was frightened.<br/><br/>""Jerry, shut it!"" The Skuntank was trying to put them all in line. Presumably to scare me into being a hostage... well, I wouldn't back down lightly, if at all.<br/><br/>""Yeah, yeah. Speak for yourself."" I responded to 'Jerry's' comment, putting my magnets... actually, lowering my magnets downwards. I wasn't considered a threat at this point. I appreciated the lack of sunlight, and even thought about joining the life of crime just so I wouldn't be blinded everyday.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>WHAT?! NO COMMERCIAL BREAKS?! DAMN IT!<br/><br/>2. Broker a deal. See if you can let out your team mate first. Team mates help in freeing hostages later, depending on the deadline before their death. Both the hostage and your team mates. Try to intimidate them or anything, but you're not supposed to be hostile... yet. ""You know, I didn't actually expect my colleague to just go in and say 'here's a few Pokes, now release my hostage!' Ironically, I was- no, I<i>AM</i>going to do the same thing, albeit with<i>REAL</i>Pokes."" I raised the ring of Pokes, letting it hover above me like a halo. I could see the glitter in the Skuntank's eye, but he let that go immediately. ""You understand that, Pine? Can't always follow protocol."" I said, glaring at 'Pine' (Spruce) in an attempt to hide his identity. That, and I was going to point out using a withered bag to show signs of Pokes wasn't a good idea. But, I just realised he was asleep.<br/><br/>""Oh you can't be serious. You think that little ring of real Pokes gonna cover your friend? No. So here's what I'm gonna do... I'm gonna let her go, but I'm gonna keep this one. Just because I'll get more money out of a..."" And then, the Skuntank - still talking - crept up to Spruce, and pulled his badge from underneath him. ""...guild member."" He whispered loudly, pronouncing the word guild as 'gold'. The Skuntank turned his disturbing face towards me, his showing his teeth at me through smiling. I didn't give a response, just lowering my eyelid. ""You gonna trade, or do I have to take you hostage too?"" He said, with the face of a sadist... this wouldn't end well.<br/><br/>3. ...<br/><br/>Let's go Payday on those sons-of- ""I have a counter-offer. Let both of them go, but I stay here. I've got a lifetime of experience that outlasts the three of you. And we Magnemites live for quite a long time.""<br/><br/>The Skuntank lost his moment, looking at his enforcer Koffing and his thief Zubat. He stared me down. ""Very well. You've got a deal, Magnet. Quickly skip over here, and... we'll let them go.""<br/><br/>Damn it. I knew there was a trap going on. Spruce was knocked out cold, and the hostage was trying to scream through her blocked mouth. No one could back me up. Interesting fact: did you know if you knocked someone out cold by the head, and they didn't respond to outside stimuli for more than five minutes, they're more than likely to have a brain hemorrhage? I couldn't back down, otherwise they'd realise my 'weakness' and exploit it. Meaning, they'd try to kill me either way. ""Ah. I'm afraid I can't do that. You'll do the same to me as you did to my colleague, and you'll just continue your crime spree... the risk will only get bigger."" I had to act.<br/><br/>This, is step 3. And you better take this to heart:<b>PRESS </b>[<b>F</b>]<b> TO START THE HEIST</b><br/><br/>""So will the stakes. We only care about the stakes. Are you going to come over yet?"" The Skuntank started to walk towards me, with the others in tow. ""C'mon, don't be shy...""<br/><br/>""I'm not shy. I'm gonna fry your ass."" Immediately, the Skuntank pointed it's rear at me. As promised, I whipped my magnet at the Skuntank, shocking him right in there as I chuckled at the sudden appearance of a blue lightning bolt. Oh man, those volts will really give him a scar like mine... and no one will even notice it unless they happened to be behind him. I knew I had gave him the fright of his life, striking him quicker than a monorail train while his thugs avoided the resulting electricity in the air.<br/><br/>And I set his ass on fire. Whether I lit his flatulence or I burnt his fur, I didn't want to know either way. I dived behind a crate quickly through my Agility move, although I let some Pokes rattle against the boxes and floor. I was as if eager to await an explosion that would follow from burning more gas. Eh, I knew it wouldn't, but I was definitely using this for cover against the shocked Zubat and angry Koffing. God knows what they'd do next."

""Alrighty then..."" I say as we continue walking deeper, and deeper in. ""LEEEEOOO?"" I yell, cupping my hands around my mouth. ""COME HERE LEO!"" I shout into the sky. Suddenly, a Natu tries to attack Bonnie, but hits Mike instead, and he scolds it. It stares blankly at him, and then uses Peck on Bonnie. To this, I jump up, and luckily since I was a psychic type from using Confusion, I use Synchronoise. ""Dont!"" I say as I use Confusion next... from what I've seen, I've done quite a bit to hurt it... ""Hurt..."" I grunt, taking two pecks to the nose and shoulder, ""Bonnie!""

It hops away quickly, and I breathe deeply as I go back to normal.<br/><br/>I ask ""Hey, does everyone have a name in this place? Is anyone even truly a wild pokemon?"" as I start to feel thirsty. I part some grass, and shout ""LEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOO?!"" into the sky. I walk around and see two different litleos. ""Two? The mission never said two... are they wilds?"" I whisper to Samuel, and he shrugs. ""Which one of you is Leo?"" he asks sternly. Both of them look at each other and say ""I am! No, I am! NO, I AM!"" and repeat it over and over. One of them had to be lying... I rub my forehead, and say ""Stop, stop stop stop!"" as I calm them down as they began to bite and tackle each other. I close my eyes and mutter something about how crappy my life was... I groan, and shake my head."

Seriously.... she though he was crazy to do this... until she saw him move forwards, going to put himself as the hostage... but she understood what he was doing. Steel type are unaffected by poison, so he would have a advantage against them. And naturally, this is what happen as M goes and unleash a powerful blue lightning at the ass of the skuntank. She smiles under her mask, as the angry zubat and koffing were left in this. It was her time to go and attack them. She suddenly jumped down from her position, before using the werehouse wall and jumping forwards using her claws, and letting out a swift attack towards the unexpected zubat, that soon faint from the earlier damage he had gotten, and what seemed to be a strong hit on it. The koffing looked as his team mate faints from the attack.<br/>""What in the world!"" the koffing then says, before Shadowlight turns around, eyes in anger right now.<br/>'Hurting innocents... I always hated when pokemon's did that...."" he then says. The koffing looked angry at her.<br/>""Who are you!"" he asks. Shadowlight growls at it.<br/>""Shadowlight, your worst nightmare!"" she yells in her deep tone voice. The koffing suddenly used poison gas, trying to poison her, but only to receive a swift attack in the face, being sent back from the attack. In Shadowlight side, she was breathing slowly, her mask actually filtering the gas and making it inaffective. The koffing then yelled in rage before using his sludge attack, striking Shadowlight hard, but not poisoning her. She then rushes forwards before using confuse ray, and making the thing move around aimlessly, and then striking a wall. Shadowlight then push the boss away using a basic attack. Shadowlight shaked quickly, getting the sludge off of her... So gross...<br/>""Ugh... dang poison types...."" she says annoyed. She then moves to Spruce, and makes sure he was alright.

It turned out to be some sort of soup, or something, and I woke up from my fainting just to have some, only to feel energized, afterwards. I then jump up from my laying down position and manage to pull off a back-flip before hitting the ground ""Woo! Thanks, whoever you are!"" I shout to the mystery pokemon that gave me the soup, afterwards. The pokemon looked a little strange, as if he wasn't as he appeared, but I didn't have time for that, right now, I had to make this second chance at this fight count. With energy still coursing through my body, I void whip 'boss' twice before he could react with an acid attack... which still hurt, however, I managed to not react too much to it. ""Come on, you're going to have to do better than that, this time."" I say to 'boss', which prompted him to try to perform his combo attack again. This time, however, I attacked the koffing twice before he could get to his boss, and interrupted the attack, leaving him vulnerable. I then notice M, again, and say ""Thanks, man!... I probably looked like an idiot out there, but that's pretty much exactly what Archie told me to do... I'll blame him, later,"" I then chuckle before taking a poison sting to the face from the zubat whose name I still didn't know. Whatever that soup was, I liked it... a lot. It was just perfect. Every detail of it was absolutely amazing, it was almost as if that was made specifically for me... well, me and whoever else might be able to tolerate the spiciness of the soup.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Well... some of them have been turning 'wild', as you'd describe. Nate being a good example of that."" I explain to William as we continue our search for Leo. Oddly enough, we quickly encounter two litleo, both of whom claimed to be Leo. I knew just the way to tell who was who, and shouted ""LEEROY, your mother needs you!"" The litleo on the left's ears perk up for a moment, and his face turns into one of anger, indicating that he didn't like that. ""There you are, Leo,"" I then say as I head over to the one on the left. The one on the right then rubs off the dirt that covered up a scar on his left forepaw, and says ""Gosh... I just wanted to be Leo for a day..."" it was Leo's little brother, who 'earned' that scar in one of their many fights that decided who was in charge of whom... it was easy to tell that Leo's little bro Samson was on the bottom of their pecking order. Samson, who was previously posing as Leo walks away from us, saddened somewhat from this. I payed him no attention, however. I'd deal with Samson after all of this was over. I finally explain to Leo ""I... well, we, kinda need you to locate a missing litleo. Apparently, a mother pyroar lost her son in this area, somewhere,"" Leo thinks for a moment, and eventually, he comes to a conclusion ""Oh! Right, ya know, I kinda recall a newbie litleo running around these parts, maybe that's him,"" Leo then headed off in the direction of this missing cub, and I follow, knowing that my teammates would follow me. After all, it wasn't like we had any other leads, and there must have been hundreds, if not thousands of litleo in Sunswept Plains."

Just then, the skuntank used poison gas, which hit Shadowlight, and made her a bit dizzy. She then goes to use swift, only to get hit hard by a feint attack, making her back away from the hit. She then regain her senses, feeling some poison. She then uses a pecha berry, and then uses hidden power again, striking the skuntank hard. On all of the poison types here, it was the only one that she could be super effective against. The skuntank then used feint attack again, making her back away. This was really getting her hard...

Spruce was down, the odd hero was reviving him, and in the end the hostage has to fend for herself. Kamina seemed to have disappeared too. Quite shocking in the middle of a fight. (No pun intended.) What was actually shocking was that Spruce was pretty energetic as he just bounced to his feet, looking like he just came back from Heaven to finish this mission.

Then, at point-blank, I let off my usual lightning, jamming my magnet into the Koffing as it magically slammed into a pillar, before falling onto the cold and concrete floor. ""No. I'm elated.""

Hms were made of sturdier stuff than TMs were, and rightfully so, as they were often important, or otherwise needed to access certain parts of this world. Oddly enough, TMs are actually made with old human tech... the kind that kinda looks like a mirror. We'd send that thing over to a group of porygon who do something with the disk, and then color it to represent what type of move the TM now held. It was weird thinking about how something as thin as this could hold anything, but any porygon would assure you that it does. Interestingly, unlike TMs, HMs could be used without having anyone learn the move... this was actually a somewhat new feature with HMs, as apparently, the old way led to injury or death as soon as the pokemon who learned that move fainted in battle. I continue looking at the small, thin, doughnut-shaped thing that was the HM for Dive, only seeing a blue-tinted reflection of myself.<i>Maybe M knows how these things work... or how they even hold anything.</i>I think as I simply continue to look into the thing.

I've been trying to put that guy away for years, but I can't find any evidence that he's doing anything illegal. You weren't thinking of visiting that kook, were you?"" I shake my head, and he says ""Good. You should stay away from him,"" Richard couldn't have been more right, though, eventually, I'd have to face my father... and I'd like to have some sort of support when I do. ""HEY, Bonnie! We're gonna leave you behind if you don't start running!"" I hear Leo shout from somewhat far ahead. I then run as fast as I could to catch up, and Leo starts looking around for any 'newbies' as he calls them. William and Samuel were right next to me now, and Richard was probably half way to the beach. I never minded the warmth of the area, and wondered why it was such a problem for William. Leo then came up with two different litleo, both of whom were shaking, and scared... odd. ""These are the only two newbies here. One of 'em's gotta be the one you're looking for,"" I then ask the two if their mothers might be looking for them... but... well... it turns out that they're both orphans, meaning that it couldn't possibly be them.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Hex was in some sort of daze, and Terra couldn't get an answer from her, so she simply shrugged and said ""Good enough, let's go,"" apparently, she was a little more than impatient as she started running right for the mountain. ""Hey, wait up!"" I shouted as I tried in vain to catch up to her. Of course, being some sort of slug thing made any kind of running difficult for me. I only had to assume that Matt and Josh were following closely behind me, and really hoped that Terra would wait for me at the foot of the mountain. I finally make it, only to see a scowling Terra who was tapping her foot impatiently. ""It's not my fault I'm slow..."" I say somewhat apologetically. ""Fine, I'll try to slow down... it wouldn't be easy to tackle this mountain myself anyways,"" she says in response, making me wonder if she was even sorry for running off like that. I then looked back and noticed someone missing, or, really, two someones. ""Shouldn't we at least wait for Matt and Josh?"" I ask Terra, who sighs, and says ""Fine, I'll wait,"" Blaze then shouts ""Yay! We're not being jerks!"" I laugh at that, and relax, tired from that attempt and failure at running. I then dig through my bag to see if I had any apples to help me get back that lost energy, and unfortunately, there really wasn't all that much in there... only a variety of status healing berries, as well as an oran... oh! There was apparently a reviver seed, and a sleep seed in there too. I could use a rest right about now, but Terra would probably kill me if I actually did that right now... that much was apparent just from the way she glared at me when I pulled the sleep seed out from my bag. I sheepishly put it back in and simply wait for the others, and Terra nods and looks over towards where the others were likely to come from."

Anthony seemed to be having trouble catching up, and so did Matt. It didn't take too long for Terra to disappear into the crowd, but Anthony seemed to know where he was going, so Matt followed behind him. That didn't last too long, though. A Gabite pushed his way between them, and as Matt tried to catch up, a Tyrantrum walked in front of him. Before long, Josh and Matt completely lost sight of both Anthony and Terra.<br/>""You didn't just lose them, did you?"" Josh asked. He couldn't really see anything, since he was still trying to hide in his bucket.<br/>""It's not a problem. I can see the mountain from here."" Matt said. ""Let's hope they're waiting for us.""<br/><br/>As they left the city, Josh finally didn't feel the need to hide. He was still glancing around, though. The other search team had either gone down the mountain last night, or were coming down at this moment. He had to be cautious.<br/>Anthony and Terra were waiting for them at the base of the mountain.

Spruce would probably wonder where she was now... and this was really embarrassing. If he were to discover who she was.... she was scared of what he might actually do if he found out her secret identity. Soon after getting out and rushing from building to building, she got out of the city, and headed to the back of a tree. She looked around. No one was there. She breath deeply, before removing her costume, and thinking. Spruce would probably ask where she gone while they were away once she gets back so... She breath deeply, and puts the costume in her bag, before going to a pile of fine dirt and then spreading it on her, aiming to make her look dirty. Might as well get a excuse that she been training... She continue to put the dirt a bit, not too much to over do it. She then breath deeply and used her badge, teleporting back at the guild.

I assumed Rosebud (a name which would've fit a Pokemon such as a Roserade, which I would know since I was assaulted by one) would be able to inform others of the Pokemon in the warehouse. Something like the police and such. Otherwise, they could possibly wake up and get away, but... in the end, our mission was to secure a hostage. We weren't a police force or anything, but the fact we had to rescue people around the continent probably made the guild a 'pretty big thing.'<br/><br/>I kept looking at the hero running off on his fours. As he disappeared out of my sight, I turned back to Spruce examining the little disc. Chances are, they're beyond repair, since they're so old. Maybe that was an excuse Davis thought of when it came to sticking that into his back, or he was pretty traumatised from the constant testing he told stories about. Apparently those humans worked on everything in disc form, just to prepare him for war. Initially, I thought he was just joking, but stories popping up of Pokemon going crazy - claiming they were stuck in a steel room or something - debunked my opinion. I feared they may have possessed the worst bits of Davis' memories... those were from the old models. Small caches of discs discovered in some ruins nearby apparently don't do that, since they're the more stable versions of TMs and HMs. As an added bonus, they also don't require you to swipe your memories for the HMs, mind you. ""Spruce, I think you just apply it to someone's head to make them know that move. Well, for the older models you do. That, and the older models have a chance to make the Pokemon crazy, so...""<br/><br/>Not dwelling of a possible theory that they may have inherited Davis' memories, suddenly Celes; she came at the nick of time. ""Uh... Celes, you're really sweaty, dirty and tired. Where have you been?"" Another theory: Celes is as mysterious as me now. In a good way."

'newbie?'"" I ask Leo as I spit on the ground again and began wishing an ice pokemon was here. ""Damn sun! It feels like it's boiling my blood!"" I yell as I pull off a few flakes of dead skin, meaning I was baking, or it was moulting season again. I look at Leo and ask ""How do we know that the mother wasn't looking around for days in Treasure or Allure town and then scribbled this in hopes that someone could save her kid?"" I then look at Leo and say ""Did you run away from your momma?"" as I whip around and grab him by the cheeks. ""Ow! Get off of me!"" Leo yells and he paws at my hands. ""Did you run away from your mother?! I'm not spending all day baking just to know which one of the handful of litleos is some damn mother's kid! I don't even think they wrote down any damn reward!"" I yell, letting go of the kid and grabbing my forehead.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, at the 'Conkeldurr Mansion'...<br/>""Yeah yeah, sniff 'em out. That one was a cutie, and I ain't letting him get away from the likes of me. I'm sure you can find him. Smell those blood trails and find that damn kecleon. Don't care what you do with his buddies, I just need him, and I need him alive!"" a gallade yells at the Conkeldurr. Both of them were best friends, and Conkeldurr, albeit slightly dumb, still did whatever bidding gallade wanted him to do. Neither of them were wilds, actually, and the atmosphere saves them from being wilds, but their insanity limits them from being normal people. The conkeldurr runs into the main hall, and sticks his nose right in the semi-dried blood left from my foot and takes a whiff. He smiles as he runs through the hole in the wall he made a little bit ago, and begins trekking around in search for William."

I do, however, snap out of that as soon as Celes bursts through the doors, looking sweaty and tired for some reason. ""Sheesh, what happened to you?"" I ask Celes. I then add ""Well, either way, I think we should take on a dungeon, today... um, I got this new HM, and I think I might be able to find a way to use it,"" at that, I started to head out of the guild, HM in hand. I then stop, as I notice nobody else coming with me. ""So... is the rest of my team ready to take on a mystery dungeon? It's a water-type area, so we should be fine,"" I then say as I wait for the rest of my team... wait... where was Kamina? Normally, he'd be the first pokemon to run, or, rather splash the heck out of the guild to get to this new dungeon.<i>Maybe he's already there? After all, he IS a water type, and probably just capable of living there.</i>I think as I somewhat impatiently await responses from the rest of my team, that is, excluding Kamina. My thoughts raced as I remembered the dungeon, itself. According to Vine, manaphy actually existed, and he, or it, lived right at the bottom of that trench... the very same one that I was going to head down. Oh, there was also a group of phione that apparently watched over manaphy when he was an egg, or something... but... I wasn't all too excited to see one of those. Of course... the fact that it's a dungeon means that we might just have to fight manaphy... I really hoped we didn't have to, but, let's be honest, we're pretty well prepared for a fight with manaphy.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I watch and jump back as William picks up Leo by the cheeks, and starts asking Leo a bunch of questions. Leo answers with ""Well, um, I had ta! My ma's the worst. She says that I can't have that awesome flamethrower Tm, and makes me do chores when I run off... er.... like this..."" I then shake my head, and say ""Trust me, she's not the worst. She's not even close to the worst. I should know be-"" I catch myself mid-sentence and shut up before I reveal anything about myself. Samson, who was apparently following us, asks, somewhat quietly ""Uh... does this mean I can go back home?"" Leo backs up a bit, and out of nowhere, a bunch of wild pokemon, at least two natu, three mareep, and two litleo jump out of the bushes and surround our little group. ""We've got you now, traitor!"" One of the natu shouts at me... odd that some of the wild pokemon can speak, and some can't, but I was more worried about what he said... this, of course, means that they were all going to attack us. I decide to get the first attack in, and try to use Pound, however, I end up using some other move, one that was fulled by my hatred for my father... I used frustration. Somehow, and this is another thing that surprised me, the move actually seemed to deal even more damage than I was expecting... as if it wasn't a normal-type move... but what would super-effect a natu, and make sense for frustration's type? Either way, I ended up taking a couple thundershocks, and a peck before Leo used ember on the natu who attacked me, Samson decided to use work up, and Mike used thundershock on the natu that supposedly started this whole ambush, finishing it off.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Matt explained how there was a large crowd, and, of course, I believed him, given that we were leaving Scale City. Terra, however, said ""What an excuse... well, at least you didn't take all day. Let's get going, alright?"" I nodded, and the two of us started heading up the mountain, only to almost instantly run into a wild dratini who used twister on me... only to not really do that much, thanks in part to my new helmet. I then retaliate with tackle, my only semi-effective move in this case. Yeah, I was good with the whole 'defense' thing here, but I can't really attack the enemies very well. Terra then took Blaze out of her bag for a moment, and attacked the dratini with some weird move apparently called 'Play Rough', finishing off the snakelike dragon pokemon. ""Well... that was quick,"" I comment before we move on, with Blaze jumping back into Terra's backpack. Terra didn't say a word and continued up the mountain, with me following. Soon enough, we encountered a cliff, or, really just a big hole separating us from our next possible destination. Oddly enough, there appeared to be withered and useless vines connecting the two sides, as if someone has already been here... but, given the condition of the vines, it would have to have been years since they've been here, that is, whoever it was. Obviously, whoever it was was a grass type, else they wouldn't have access to vine whip, which is what the makeshift and now broken bridge appeared to be made out of. Of course, I didn't need to use the bridge because I could stick to the walls. I simply walked across the wall to the other side, and then wondered how I was going to get the others over here.... every single one of them was taller and heavier than I was, even Blaze."

She smiles. A HM for dive might be good in this situation to clean up after getting that excuse. Just then though... she saw something at the guild entrance. Someone passing by... a jolteon.... She stepped back a bit, and stood near Spruce, hoping the jolteon would not see her, cause she recognized him...Her brother.... One that actually was nice to her, even if he did say that his form could be the fastest thing that you could get for their race... though she was not much for speed.... and electric attacks did not really make her feel like it was her style.

Samuel dodges it, barely, and it skims his tail setting it alight. ""AUUGH!"" he shrieks in pain before I get hit in the back by a mareep, using Thunder Bolt. It paralyzes me. This was certainly not an easy fight, that's for sure. Suddenly, Samuel seems to gather a bunch of twigs, grass, and leaves, spreads them out and charges up a Thundershock, uses it on the pile which was spread out everywhere around us, and it burns brightly. This was dumb in my opinion, since not only did his vicious gathering hurt me a tiny bit, but the sparks from his move and the heat hurt my badly too.

She was in charge of the stand, though, unfortunately, it didn't seem like anyone was there, and Rosebud looked bored as a result. She waved to me and I waved back, but neither of us said anything. I make it to the beach, where a bunch of krabby were apparently sleeping at the moment, wait for the rest of my team to catch up to me, and then a little longer just to see if Kamina might join in, and then hold up the HM, which quickly created some sort of weird bubble around my team. This was nice due to the fact that otherwise, M might either rust or electrocute everything in the ocean... probably both. I then went right in to the ocean, which looked both similar and wildly different to the surface, with many strange pokemon floating around the place, and odd plants growing in the water. This place was pretty awe-inspiring, and I immediately started to wander around, getting myself lost, and unfortunately possibly leaving my teammates (who each got their own bubble, instead of it just being one big bubble) behind.<i>Is this another planet, or just another place?</i>I think as I continue wandering around, and looking at the strange plants and pokemon that lived here.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>After my attack, Samuel decides that this place wasn't burned down enough and encircles us in fire, which, if he wanted to make me cough and hurt my eyes, he did a great job. I didn't even really notice most of our enemies running away due to how much my eyes were damaged by the smoke. I also couldn't really say anything either, as I was coughing constantly, which was probably not good for my health or immediate survival. Thankfully, someone teleported us all back to Wally's guild, along with Samson and Leo, both of whom looked a little guilty. Once there, we meet up with the mother, who was apparently Leo's mother, as she instantly recognized her children, and gave them a good scolding on why they shouldn't run off on their own. She then hands us a bag of money, which is, as per what I assume usual, snatched away by the bird, who then gives us only a small amount... of five hundred poke. That... actually wasn't half bad as a reward, and I was unfortunately very tired, not to mention covered in soot from that fight, so I started to head down stairs, only to bump into that Richard guy from earlier. He dropped a paper when I accidentally bumped into him, and, after apologizing, he completely forgot to pick it up. It was a mission involving... well... me. The paper had a picture of me obviously from before I managed to escape, and had a mission statement of...<br/>'While I'm not the kid's father or anything, I'm seriously worried about her. This kid lives with a very possibly murderous parent, and should be taken to a guild as an adopted child as soon as possible... of course, she may be dead by now, and if that is the case, then bring in the father. A reward of twenty thousand poke will be given in either case.<br/>~Richard' I quickly put the paper away, and run off to the bed in order to hide the paper under my pillows, where I hoped nobody else would check. I then try to go to sleep, however, images of what might have happened to me had I not escaped kept me awake, if only just enough to not get any rest.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Matt does just as I've expected to, that is, he levitated himself, and Josh over the withered and useless bridge... which left a somewhat miffed Terra on the other side. Matt levitated back to the other side, and seemed to be contemplating on a way to get Terra and Blaze over on the other side. I then heard Josh say something about me wondering what yesterday was all about, and I say ""Yeah, I kinda would like an explanation. Don't worry, I won't judge... well, unless you're a murderer or something,"" I honestly hoped he wasn't a murderer, as I'd have to get through Matt to get Josh at this point, even if Matt was on the other side of the bridge... it wouldn't take too long for him to get to where we all were. I then just wait for Matt to come up with something as I watch Terra starting to grind her teeth... no, not the ones in her actual head, but the ones that were in her giant, possibly false, jaws. ""Are you absolutely sure that I'm too heavy for you to psychicly lift? I can't be THAT heavy, CAN I?"" One thing you should never tell a girl... that she's too heavy for anything. Another thing you should never tell her is that she's old... but that was irrelevant at this point. Blaze seemed bored, but was eventually alerted to Terra's mood, and attempted to calm her down with ""Don't worry Tewwa, we'll get to the place before I die as an egg. Being mad won't speed things up, so please, don't be a jerk,"" this, unfortunately, didn't seem to work until about ten minutes later, when she just seemed to calm down, saying ""I guess... I just really wish we could speed things up,"""

It was so beautiful around here... So calm and so nice. She looked as Spruce was going around, making himself get lost. She quickly rush to him, and then shakes her head.<br/>""Spruce, don't wander off like that.

She did not exactly like the idea of being like her brother and sister, and 3 vaporeon in a family.... is kinda a lot. She breath deeply. She still was not sure about what to evolve into anyway.

He chooses a few Pokemon to watch over everyone else, and keep them in line, while the rest of us are forced to work on the farms for our entire lives. He barely feeds us, too. I had to steal food from the farms to survive. I never got caught, but if I did, Zane probably would've killed me. Eventually, I just got tired of it and left.

Both Blaze and Matt were trying to calm her down, to no avail. Josh tried to think of something. They could always go look for something up ahead, but Terra probably wouldn't like that.

Maybe she would be more<br/>""I'll go talk to Josh and Anthony, OK? They might have thought of something."" Matt said. He floated over to them, with a worried look on his face.

After a bit, I wake up and cough. ""DAMMIT, SAMUEL!"" I yell as I look down at myself. I was smoked and dirty from his dumb idea, and I stand up. ""Ugh..."" I groan as I walk out of the room, stretching my back and arms. I then climb up the ladders, and walk down towards the beach so I could wash off really quickly, and maybe enjoy the water. ""Damn idiots, 'she made me do chores'... little brat...."" I mutter under my breath as I walk down towards the beach. When I get there, I see some group was already there, so I quickly go invisible since I didn't know what to do, or if they were wild pokemon. The ash, sadly, doesn't go invisible with me, so I slowly creep into the water. Cold, no doubt, but right now I didn't mind the cold. I go deeper in, to the point where I have to swim to stay up in the water, and I dive under. I feel something hard snap against my tail, and I try screaming, but bubbles came out instead, and I begin thrashing around in the water and drag myself back up to land and pry the krabby off of my tail.<br/><br/>I stand up and grab my tail.

He didn't think there would be anything there, but surprisingly he heard a voice up ahead.<br/>""What do you mean 'it's stuck'? Try moving it around a little. I don't want to be hanging here all day.""<br/>Josh recognized this voice. He couldn't quite tell who it was, but it was familiar. As they went around the corner, he saw an Octillery being pulled up the waterfall by a bunch of ropes. ""Wait! Someone's coming. I think they saw me."" The Octillery looked at them. ""Who are you? I swear, you'd better not be working for Zane, or I'll-"" He stopped as he noticed Josh in the bucket. ""No friggin' way.

Despite this, I continued onwards with Spruce and Celes, not saying anything as we passed Pokemon that were seemingly unaware of us. Eventually, we made it to the beach, which made me wonder why we didn't have such a feature instead. Regardless, I got to see an HM in action, wincing at the sudden bubbles forming around us. I remember my last experience with water: not only was I lucky enough to avoid oxidation, but also the possible death of everyone around me. Something feels odd about my previous sentence.<br/><br/>Anyway, floating around with a bubble around me was pretty confusing, as if having some Pokes floating around me in a ring wasn't dizzying enough.<span class=""bb-strike"">I followed the others into the water so I wouldn't catch someone's attention.

We presumably clipped our eyes towards the badges on our chests. ""Yes?"" I was aware of a rivalry between Allure and Treasure Town's respective guilds. I didn't feel inclined to follow, since that was none of my business and I (or rather we) had more important business to attend to. ""There were some others, yes."" I gave a proper response to the Keckleon as I took my eye off him and stared down into the ocean. ""What do you want? They're underwater, and they're probably waiting for me."""

""Ow!"" I say as he jumps on me. The pain was so unbearable that my body just quit trying at that moment. He gets off me and says ""Watch! He'll turn black and red any second now! Any... second... AHA! See, black and red! No, wait, that's bruises and blood..."" he says.<br/><br/>I get dragged to a healer and I'm put on a bed. Pretty comfy, if I was still awake.

The wailmer went next, aiming for Celes while it attacked with rollout. I knew that Celes could easily take that attack and then some so I didn't really bother to guard her this time.

I shrug, and the rest of the guild seems to start gathering around us... for some reason, that included Mike, Leo, and Samson, who was somewhere. I lost track of Samson, and wondered why they were all wearing badges. They weren't members of our team, or we would have been told about them by either Wally or that chatot, neither of whom seemed to say anything about this.

She then saw the thing going for a rollout attack again, before she uses confuse ray and then spins to the side, dodgng the attack as the wailmer keeps going up towards the surface, confused. Celes breath deeply, befroe letting out a hidden power attack,striking the poor wailmer hard with a critical strike, not fainting ir but close to it. Celes bresth deeply, before opening her bag and going and getting a slight drink of her soup, shaking her head quickly, regaining her senses, only to see a slight part of black and white of her costume showing. She quickly hides it, and then sees the wailmer do one more rollout attack at her, striking her back, before she uses shift attack, finishing the thing off, but making her feel slightly damaged. That fight took a bit out of her."

""Whoa! Oh, uh, sorry, I almost forgot you were here... heh,"" I say to Hex before I climb up the waterfall, my natural stickiness coming in handy again. Since I had no clue where this place was, I had to follow behind Matt and Josh, who were following behind their friends, possibly other servants that this 'Zane' character had under him.<i>Others from the reef... so, then, Zane's after more than one of these guys. It's a good thing that I led them over to Beach Cave, somehow I feel as though they're still searching through that place, frustrated beyond belief.</i>I think as I continue up the waterfall, or, actually, up the wall next to the waterfall. If I were to try to simply go up it, the water would be enough to remove me from the wall, and have me fall down to... er... wherever this waterfall ended at, which probably wasn't going to be good for progress or health. Hex flew up before I started climbing and seemed to be more closely following Matt and Josh. This waterfall was kinda big, at the very least, it seemed to take forever to get up the dang thing... well, that or my own natural slowness strikes again, and this time in an annoying way rather than in a painful way. I continued to climb, however, I decided to check my bag just to see if I had any money, as I was suddenly reminded of my own mother, though, there wasn't any in there, unfortunately. I suppose I'll just have to look around if I'm going to find some dropped cash in these dungeons.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""I... don't want to talk about it,"" I say to William once he questioned me about my dream. I then remember something, and head back to my room. I look under my pillow, however, there was no paper.<i>Oh no... now I've got the guild searching for me.</i>I think as I frantically run out of my room, and look in every guild member's hands, or, at least, whatever they used as hands, I even checked the chef, the guildmaster, his assistant, and the random team who showed up near the mission board. None of them seemed to have the paper that showed a mission about my father and myself. Something that I'm sure my father would kill me over if it ever went public... and worse, he'd actually know where I was after this. I eventually run into a bidoof, who had the paper in his teeth. I try to take the paper from him, however, he looks in the opposite direction before I could. I then try to reason with him, saying ""Um... sir? Would you mind giving me that mission? I kind of need the money from it,"" he then shakes his head, and says ""I dunno anyone named 'sir', but you can call me Barry. I was just visiting here, and I found this thing under a pillow,"" I try to not let my temper get the best of me, after all, he REALLY shouldn't have been in my room, but I knew anger would get me nowhere, so I tried calm words again. ""Well, that mission's too tough for you, and that guy, er, in that mission, he's dangerous! I mean really dangerous. I don't want to see you die,"" Barry laughs, and says ""That's what they say about all of the outlaws, even the ones that I can take down,"" having already had enough of this conversation, I use Switcheroo on Barry, taking his mission paper from him... not that he even noticed, as he still wandered out of the guild, as happy as ever."

I crack my knuckles and look at the missions board and the first mission that caught my eye said, ""Please help me, my daughter lost her doll in Birchwood Forest when we went on a picnic. She won't stop crying and screaming and we can't find it, hopefully someone else can. Whoever accepts this mission, please contact me by going to my house in Allure Town, the mission board over there was crowded. 2000 Poke for each person, but don't have some big giant group of like seven people find it, I don't have that much money to spend. ~<i>Mark the Meowstic</i>"" and I smile. I knew mark and his family, they were my neighbors, in fact. I pop my back and one of those corks fall out of my nostril. Some drips of blood fell on the floor, and I turn my head to see a Bidoof and Bonnie. Bonnie swiped a paper from him, and he left anyways. I walk over and say ""Oh, don't worry about fighting over some mission, I have one right here!"" as I show her the mission. ""Just gonna go and tell Samuel,"" I say as I climb down the ladder.<br/>-Samuel-<br/>I wake up from my nap and wipe the soot off of me and I begin having a coughing fit from all the ash, and I begin choking. ""Gghck--"" I cough, grabbing my neck. I walk up and try to walk out of our room, but before I can get into any of the main parts of the guild, I fall down inside of the hallway of the crew rooms from not getting enough oxygen, and I see William. Just at the right time, too, and he sees me choking, and calls for help, but no one came. Well, after a minute he left for a second and I fainted, but he came back with a few different types. Two of them push down on my chest, making me cough up some ash involuntarily, and they do it until they hear breathing again, and then the water type he brought sprayed me down. I wake up soon again, in the local healer's, and yell ""WHO THE HELL'S BEEN BEATING ON MY CHEST?!"" as I sit up and hop off the bed. I cough again and breathe. I see William waiting outside, and he says ""Heh, I was actually in here not too long ago, maybe a half hour ago. Got a mission for us,"" showing me the mission and I wave him away. ""No. I'm too tired, and we already did one today,"" I groan as I walk away, towards Sharpedo Bluff. When I get there, I sit down next to the bush and look up towards the sky. There was a Dugtrio at the edge of it. ""Ain't it b-yooootiful?"" he asks and I look past the edge, out into sea. I nod and go back to the bush and rest for a bit."

Josh said. ""You're awful quiet today.""<br/>As they made it to the top of the waterfall, they came across a small underground pond. Ray was at the top of the waterfall, pulling Eddie up with a rope. It was strange how long he was taking, though. Josh knew that if he was actually trying, Eddie would have been at the top by now. Something was troubling him, obviously. It would be best to leave him alone for now.<br/>Josh turned to everyone else. ""So, I suppose I should introduce you to all of the Pokemon staying at the camp."" He said. ""Remember those pictures Zane showed us? All of those Pokemon should be up here.""<br/>Matt emptied the bucket into the pond, which was rather shallow. There were several tents partially submerged in the water, and one of them was occupied. Besides Eddie and Ray, only one other Pokemon was outside of the tents - A Mantyke ""That's...either Wyatt or Niko. They're twin brothers, so I can't really tell them apart. Ray is their father."" Josh said. Wyatt was staring at the cave wall, and seemed just as troubled as his dad. Josh couldn't help but wonder what happened.<br/><br/>""Umm..."" Josh was mentally debating whether or not he should talk to Wyatt. He had almost forgotten about Matt, Anthony, and Hex. ""Oh! Let's just continue on, shall we?"" He led them into one of the tents, and found an Inkay and a Milotic inside. The Milotic was pretty old, and seemed tired. ""Guys, this is Pinky and Grace.""<br/>Upon hearing his voice, Pinky turned around, and her eyes widened. ""Josh?"" She swam up to him. ""I can't believe it. I was starting to think one of Zane's search teams found you.""<br/>Grace looked at Josh, and smiled. She didn't say anything, but it seemed like seeing that Josh was alright lifted her spirits.<br/>Pinky looked towards Grace, then back at them. ""Look, Josh, I don't mean to be rude, but Grace needs rest. Getting up here wasn't an easy task for her.""<br/>""I understand."" Josh said. He went back outside, and looked around the campsite. From what he could tell, there wasn't anyone else there. One of the twins was missing, and Keira was nowhere to be found, either.<br/><br/>""Oh, look who came crawling back.""<br/>That voice sent a chill down Josh's spine. He turned around to see a Carvanha glaring at him. ""So, tell me, how long will you be staying before you abandon us again?""<br/>Josh looked over at Eddie, who had just made it to the top of the waterfall. ""Are you kidding me?"" He said, swimming towards him. ""You brought<i>him</i>with you?""<br/>Eddie started backing away. ""Ok, look, I know you're a little angry about this, but I can explain.""<br/>""Do you honestly trust him?""<br/>""I trust him just as much as you do, Josh, but he's been helpful. He knows how the search team leaders think, and it's because of him that we've been able to avoid most of them.""<br/>Josh turned to the rest of his team. ""I'm sorry, you're probably confused. That's Brace. His dad, Marty, is one of Zane's guards.""<br/>Brace smiled. ""So, you trust these 'friends' of yours? I certainly don't. They'll probably tell Zane exactly where we're all hiding if we're not careful.""<br/>""I trust them a lot more than I trust you. Hell, we just ran into Zane in Scale City and they didn't tell him a thing.""<br/>""Yes, but Zane probably didn't threaten them at all, did he? I'd be willing to bet they'd spill the beans if they thought their life was in danger.""<br/>""You know what? I've been near you for two minutes and I'm already tired of you being a cynical jerk!""<br/>""You're no better, bringing random Pokemon into our camp!""<br/>Eddie tried to break them up. ""Come on, guys. We can't turn on each other now.""<br/>Eddie's attempts to stop the fight weren't working. Someone else would have to help, because Josh and Brace looked like they were ready to rip each other apart."

It was then that Tini came up with a plan so insane...it just might work; he used Wrap...on his muzzle. ""Urk!"" Jasper managed to squeak out, now that his mouth was closed shut. Panicking, he tried to shake Tini off, but that completely failed. Next, getting desperate, he came up with a plan so insane...that it was bound to completely fail; he charged at the dojo wall to smash Tini. However, he forgot to take into account the fact that his nose would hit it first. He did eventualy remember though, 0.0000000000000005 seconds before impact.

I just had to say that as soon as the Remoraid's attack briefly penetrated my bubble, causing a rather devastating cascade of electricity around the water.

I smirked as I pulled out another vine whip, sure, I was a little beat up, but at least I could still move. I took advantage of the biuzel's paralysis and manage to attack her twice with the attack, fainting her in the process, leaving the wailmer as the only one left... or maybe not, as the thing didn't seem to move... um...<i>well, we won, I guess.</i>I think as I decide to ignore the fact that the wailmer looked a little bit more than just fainted, unfortunately. I then ask ""Hey, um... does anyone else need some rest? That fight kinda took a lot out of me,"" remembering the previous attack from the buizel which left me just at the brink of fainting... and that wouldn't be good if we happened to run into some other enemies on our exploration, which was very possible. After that, I sat down, and simply looked off in the distance, taking in the sights that the deep sea had to offer at this time. It was still incredibly beautiful, with strange things that looked like water-type pokemon, but were far too small, and didn't look like any pokemon that I knew floating around, only to quickly get either ensnared by the local plantlife, or eaten by actual water types. Whatever they were, they were colorful, but probably not too smart.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I nearly jumped in surprise as soon as I heard William from behind me. Apparently he didn't hear enough, or, at the very least, I didn't reveal enough for him to get suspicious, which was good. I then say ""Right, well, I got the mission anyways... um... maybe we could do this one next,"" that, right there, what I just said, was probably my biggest mistake since opening the door to Mom and Dad's room that one fateful day... memories of that day were almost enough for me to break down in tears again, but I managed to hold them back this time, and even put on a fake smile. Samuel and William then passed by, and left the guild, and obviously I had to follow. I thought that we were heading to our mission, but apparently, Samuel had other ideas. He started heading off towards the ocean, and I ended up following him all the way to some cliff where a dugtrio was seen commenting on how beautiful the sea was. I probably surprised everyone, but I just had to say something. I ended up adding ""You know, I think it might be even more beautiful from the inside... I wonder if I'll ever see what this 'sea' looks like from under the surface... nah, that's probably impossible, huh?"" I then realized that I started to ramble and decided to just shut up for a moment, and let the others talk. Sure, it didn't seem like we were going on a mission today, but the view of the sun on the sea's waves was almost enough to justify that... well, what made it completely justified was more or less the fact that the entire team was in the middle of a fire, earlier, but this view was nice."

It was a bit cold at the moment though, not having been warmed up lately. As she goes to rumage in her bag, a slight part of white and black fabric sticks out of it, as she quickly puts it back inside, hoping no one saw it and would ask questions about it. She does not know what her teamates would think of her if they knew of her secret identity. It might end up with M being surprised by this maybe.... or asking her why the heck she was wearing that ridiculous costume.

I did want to stay, though. I sigh, and stare at it, resting on the bush, and I smile. No pain, no suffering or stress. Just resting. This was nice... I sit down and stare into the sea. It slowly mesmerizes me, and I start changing colors without me even knowing, mainly blues and greens and aquas. I rub my eyes. ""Wow..."" I say and the Dugtrio says ""I know. It's hypnotizing... The hardest thing to do every day... is pull myself away from this spot,"" and Samuel starts snoring. So this was peace. I pop my neck and eventually get up, feeling refreshed from the salt water-ey air and the sight. ""So, you think we're gonna do this mission, or should we just rest back at the guild?

Several tents were partially submerged underwater, and various gear and equipment was inside them. It seemed to be pretty well hidden, if they had somehow been able to hide from Zane for so long. The camp was very well organized. She was surprised that it was all put together by pokemon with fins.<br/><br/>Hex watched as the Josh reacquainted himself with all of the pokemon around him. Most of them seemed to know each other very well, and at the very least had to have known each other. But still, Josh seemed to be looking for one pokemon who must've been absent from this camp. Must've had someone missing, maybe. All and all, the water types seemed to be holding out well in that little camp above the waterfall. Then Josh met Brace, and they began bickering.<br/><br/>Hex was very used to bickering. It happened quite a lot around her hive. Two Combees arguing over a bit of honey, or some brutish Beedrill showing off their muscles(?) to each other. Josh and Brace seemed to genuinely hate each other. Brace was going hard on Josh about not showing up to assist the water types in setting up the camp and helping them, while Josh didn't want Brace on his back. ""You guys, try not to kill each other. We<i>just</i>came here! c'mon."" Hex said, rolling her eyes."

I thought if there were other Pokemon out there, living in lands we still haven't even bothered to think about...<br/><br/>Then, an unmistakable colour, out at the corner of my eye. Who sees black and white underwater, excluding the colourblind? It's practically a rainbow down here. ""What was that, a racing flag?"" I asked, unable to identify not only what it was, but where it came from. Naturally, I took a quick and slightly intimidating glance at Celes, hoping for a reaction. Of course, there'd be more blunders to come. For example, that soup... I quickly changed my attitude. ""How did you... run out of a whole bottle of soup so quickly? What, you spilled some during your training? Got empty and decided to feast?"" I let out a hearty chuckle, grabbing of my soups through the big bubble that could be considered a dome/air tent for all of us. I was annoyed at how it was wooden, since it meant I couldn't grab it. But... well, I wish I'd been happy to not be able to grab it.<br/><br/>As soon as a little bit touched my face, I ended up crying. The pain of a thousand degrees will never be forgotten. I screamed so painfully as I just dropped the bowl, rubbing my eyes and face frantically like I had just consumed humanity's bath salts. (Davis has got a disturbing amount of documentaries, telling future species about the human race. Not that he's shown anyone else.)

Spicy things in my little community...<br/><br/>Anyway, the soup stained the ground which had been damp and pretty muddy from all the seawater on top of it. I was still letting out blood-curdling screams as I went from rubbing my face onto the ground (which made things worse, since I was practically earthing myself - not a good thing) to just leaving my teammate's bubble, waving my magnets and 'hand' like some giant crazy inflatable balloon, crossing boulders and passing neutral fish Pokemon. Damned bubble would follow me around...<br/><br/>...crucial when meeting lady Desia again in some wrecked nuclear submarine, on rather unconditional terms.<br/><br/>Here's a little preview of what was ahead, one of my only times of peace with Desia: ""ARRRGGGHHAARGGHHHH!

Weird, why did she sound like a man back there?</i>I think as I finish my soup, and get back up ready to continue onwards.

Then, Brace happened. He seemed so sure of himself, and he seemed to not trust anyone in Josh's party... that is, including Josh. As soon as he said that he couldn't trust me, I said ""Well, I wouldn't tell anyone, no matter what. Josh here told me about Zane, and what he's doing is completely wrong.

At that point, I kinda remembered something... ""Oh, um, Josh, we kinda have something to take care of... I'd rather Terra not explode in anger from us keeping her waiting for so long,"" I then whisper to Josh, remembering the reason why we were even able to get over here. I then looked around for any spare wood planks that we might be able to construct a bridge out of for Terra... even if I didn't feel all to welcome here thanks to Brace.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Well, I think we should go on a mission, I mean, after sleepyhead wakes up,"" I respond to William who seemed torn as to whether we should go on this mission or not. Samuel fell asleep, and while the view was hypnotic, I felt as though we should be out and about doing things instead of just sitting here. Yeah, today wasn't all that great thanks to that horrible dream, but the best way to get that out of my head that I could think of was heading off on a mission and possibly getting into some danger... at least that way I'd be focused on that danger and forget about the imaginary danger that my dream presented to me. I then looked at the mission, and headed off to Birchwood Forest, or, at least, where I thought that place was. I never really ventured out of my house before running away, and couldn't thanks to my dad always blocking the way, and then knocking me out with his slash attack, so, I had to guess at where this forest was, and if this wasn't the right direction, I was sure that my teammates would correct me... I just hoped that this wouldn't blow my 'wild pokemon' cover. Maybe I'll just say that I have a bad sense of direction, or that I never left Sunswept Plains until I joined the guild. The second part was kinda true, but it wasn't the actual reason as to why I was most likely heading in the wrong direction. They'd believe me right? After all, I've given them no reason not to believe me... I haven't lied to them, or, more accurately, they haven't caught me lying to them yet."

I wake Samuel up and we walk with Bonnie, and say ""Er, Bonnie! Birchwood Forest isn't that way,"" as I turn her in the right direction. We begin walking, and I rub my nose again. ""Lets just hope that we don't need to fight. Mind if I stop by Bob and Ed's before we leave? Just to get an escape orb, in case something happens. Never know, there could be someone from the other guild there that's strong, and is really hard about that rivalry,"" I say. I then ask for some of Samuel's money and then I head over into Allure and take off my badge. I go to Bob and Ed's stall and look at them both. "" 'Ey!"" Bob says. ""How are you?"" he says. Ed looks over the counter and sees my badge. ""Welcome, friend!"" he says, smiling. ""What, what's going on? Ooooh, I see..."" Bob snarls. I edge over to Ed, and say ""Hey, I just need an Escape Orb..."" and he rolls it up on the table. ""200 Poke, please,"" he says. I put up all the money I had. Just enough.<br/><br/>I come back to the group, and hold it up. ""Ta-da!"" I say, putting it in my bag. I walk eastwards, and eventually get to Birchwood Forest. I walk around, keeping my eyes peeled for a doll. ""I wonder what it looks like,"" I say, tapping my fingers. I find a fainted pansage, with a caterpie slowly crawling towards it. I kick the caterpie away and walk past the Pansage."

""Look, as much as I'd like to stay, we've got a couple more friends who are stranded on the other side of a pit back there.""<br/>""Well, we've got some planks of wood in that tent there."" Eddie said, pointing to a large tent near the waterfall.<br/>""That's good news."" Matt said, heading over to the tent. ""I'll go get one.""<br/>""What's this mission of yours, anyway?"" Eddie said.<br/>""We're headed to the top of Mt. Dragoncoil."" Josh said.<br/>""Well, if that's the case, I've got good news and bad news.

""Where's Keira?""<br/>""Um...Well, you see...""<br/>""Where is she, Eddie?""<br/>""I...don't know. We got separated.""<br/>""What?""<br/>""Marty's search team found us while we were headed through Birchwood Forest. The current was strong, and there was a fork in the river.

I swore blindly at the feminine voice, banging against various walls of the submarine and not realising how strong my bubble was. Evidently, that soup was going to get me killed. After sinking down a hole and sleeping on a bed of seaweed for a second, a lone Pokemon who was now sharing the bubble with me had held me against the steel walls of the submarine. I didn't expect her to elbow my eye, cleaning it out of the remaining spice. I was blind for a few seconds, thanking the Pokemon more than once until I suddenly got the urge to kill.<br/><br/>I gasped. ""Desia..."" She was unimpressed, staring at me while the shadowy aura around her was giving her an unnatural contrast. ""...what the HELL are you doing?! Coaxing me by spicing the soup and trying to guilt-trip me, after rubbing my eyes and the... experience of unnatural pleasures of being organic and not just a steel Pokemon anymore, and... er... you're still bullshitting!""<br/><br/>""I could do much,<i>much</i>better than that, you pathetic ball of scrap. I could've ended you, right here, right now."" I sniffed, hard. Maybe that was the remaining spice, maybe that was poking me in a soft spot. Which she somehow knew. ""But, instead, I'm coating my limb in that spice you say belongs to me. How ironic. You're so stupid by blaming everything on me, and I prefer not to know how you've gotten so ugly within a day or two."" I would've used a pun for ironic. Maybe 'iron-ic.'<br/><br/>""Oh you. Being all fancy by calling me all of the above."" I whacked her clean limb away, getting three claws out of my face. She took it as a threat and prepared to lunge at me until I started to talk. The eeriness of the submarine was disturbed by creaking. ""What is it? You're not here to kill me, yet you're going to once we meet again."" By talking to her, I was risking everything. I could've at least tried to shock her, but at the moment I was doing the opposite of making sure I didn't. What a fateful mistake... I think the glowing purple scar on my face influenced me, but I would never know.<br/><br/>""I've got a proposition: you help kill Davis, I'll let you live for now. Otherwise you've got 'goons' right outside that creaking door you just glanced at."" She chillingly said, wiping her arm on the algae-covered surfaces of the submarine.<br/><br/>It terrified me how much she knew about me, so much so as plucking words from my narration.<span class=""bb-strike"">""...what the hell, BAN HER!""</span>""...excuse me? Davis is dead, and now you expect me to excavate his remains and overkill them? Seems legit.""<br/><br/>She face-clawed, sighing to the point where it disturbed her thorax. ""No, you idiot. He's alive, and I could care less. I know you wouldn't, though. You spent all your young life near that deceptive bastard... looking for him too."" I was trembling (with excitement), although I couldn't let that show. I zapped my magnets together, just to warn her to get to the good stuff already. ""Oh, fine, since you're in a hurry and I just cannot wait to tell you. He's on an island relaxing with Milloon, the REAL one. You're just a weak clone to fill in for his pet."" I shut my eyelid.<br/><br/>""...can I kill you now, for shaming a friend of mine as if his death wasn't already painful enough? You dare use this time of peace to continuously INSULT US?!"" I was holding back tears, inhaling deeply so my own thorax wouldn't collapse from despair. ""You, despicable-""<br/><br/>""Bitch? I've heard that word more than any other woman should. I'm just smiling at how you would react to finding out you've been replaced... by the real you. The island's not that far from here, being a far distance from you and your friends if you go far enough ahead..."" She was chuckling, looking away at me as she somehow didn't feel odd for spending such close time near me. I felt as if this conversation was beginning to end. ""Oh, you can go tell all your little friends about this. Maybe they won't think you're my accomplice. Your choice. Now go, before those 'goons' get mad for calling them that."" She 'goons' loudly. I was almost dead from not properly breathing as I escaped her cackle and 'goons' while I escaped the submarine.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Here I was now. Further ahead would lie Davis' supposed residence. She could've been right, not killing me until the last minute... maybe she was just trying to get into my head. Either way, if I solved my piece of this journey, then at least I would have one less thing to worry about. For now, it was happy times, just owning the trio of Pokemon. ""You his friends? Oh good, I was hoping for an introduction."" Oddly enough, I retained her voice, or at least the style Desia talked like for a second."

Sean tried another scratch attack on me, yet, I couldn't even really feel it... yeah, it was that weak. I then decided to finally counter with a vine whip, knocking him backwards several feet, as well as knocking him out. Bart, the zubat then flew over to M and seemed to be trying to use leech life on him in some sort of vain attempt at possible damaging someone. I didn't even really have to watch, as I already knew how pathetic these guys were. I almost felt bad for them, but they insisted on fighting us. I knew that M could handle Bart, heck, he could probably easily take down the entire team if we let him... of course, that's not really saying much at this point, given that any one of us could easily knock out the entire team. Heck, these guys were among the first pokemon I've ever knocked out. Odd, considering the fact that each one of them has a type advantage against me.<i>I wonder, though, are they actually a rescue team, or do they just like calling themselves a 'team'. I mean, for all I know, they could be a team of criminals, or something.</i>Carl, the koffing then struggles to get up, and only really manages to say one strange thing before passing out again, ""Hey, boss, remember when we used to be cool?"" That sentence confused me on so many levels... they were around before I was here? They were cool at one point? They ACTUALLY know that they're not cool anymore? That sentence started more questions than it answered, that much was for sure.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>My plan seemed to work perfectly, as William corrected my path, and we headed off to Birchwood Forest, with me following behind William this time. I kinda wondered why he didn't think that I wasn't a wild pokemon, but I didn't want to question that right now, and especially not out loud. Once we got there, I noticed something a little strange, a knocked out pokemon, and another approaching him. William knocked away the caterpie, which was the one approaching the knocked out pokemon (in this case, a pansage), but, something about that seemed odd... normally, wild pokemon didn't attack one another... I mean, sure, there was that one time when a dratini from Mt. Dragoncoil attacked a group of mareep from Sunswept Plains, but other than that, they typically got along.<i>Maybe whoever did this was from another dungeon? Hm...</i>I think as I continue looking for anything that might be a stuffed doll. I then kind of wondered what kind of pokemon or strange creature the doll might be. Common ones were teddiursa, and that strange creature called a 'bear' that resembles a teddiursa. I only know this from the occasional traveler that used to visit Sunswept Plains while I was there, and teddiursa wasn't really native to these parts, and so that might be a good place to start. ""I think it would look like a teddiursa. Those dolls are common among young pokemon, so that's probably a good place to start,"" I say in response to William's wondering what the doll might look like. I didn't explain the 'bear' thing because it seemed a little dumb at this point. Maybe if we didn't find any teddiursa dolls, then I'd explain, but we should probably focus on one thing at a time."

I see something brown. Although, it was a very washed out brown. It moves, and I shrug. ""Guess that wasn't it,"" I say, thinking about the shades of brown that a teddiursa was. I continue walking around, and I see a tiny teddiursa doll. I grab it, and yell ""Found it!"" as Samuel catches up with me, looking at the leaves as if he was about to set fire to ANOTHER place. ""I wonder if that's still going,"" I say, glaring at Samuel. He shrugs, and I say ""If they ever find out it was you, you're gonna have to go up in court and make up some crap on why you did it. Although, what about that Litleo we took back? He'd probably tattle on you,"" as I scratch my chin.<br/>...<br/>*Boom! Boom! Boom!*<br/>...<br/>""Hey, what was that?"" I ask, feeling the ground shake. ""Sounds like some big pokemon. Maybe an Onyx..."" I say, and Samuel laughs at me. ""I'd take care of that Onyx so quickly that he wouldn't know what hit him!"" he gloats. ""Yeah, by setting him on fire,"" I say, walking westwards, toward the guild.<br/>...<br/>*BOOM! Snap! Wham!*<br/>...<br/>""Is someone chopping down trees?"" I ask, freaked out a little. My grip tightens on the doll, as I get anxious of whatever was making so much noise. I see a couple wilds bolting away through some trees. Something's going on. ""Well, I think we should go!"" I say, getting my badge out. Before I could though, I saw a giant stone pillar heading my direction. I get hit in the arm, just barely. It made a loud cracking noise, also throwing my badge into a tree and breaking it. ""What in Arceus' name was that for?!"" I say, turning towards the being, whilst grabbing my arm. It was the conkeldurr again. I gasp and freak out. I look at it in the eyes and it stares back at me, dumbfounded. It was mesmerized for some reason, and I look down. I was shifting colors so quickly, it hurt my own eyes. I look at the beast and say ""You dumb buffoon! You're just a moving rock! Go back home, you freak!"" I yell at it, and I look back at my team. ""Unzip my bag and break the escape orb on the ground! HURRY!"" I whisper, seeing the conkeldurr start to move again."

She didn't know that the little dragon slug had it in him. Sure, he may seem a bit dopey at times, but he held a good argument. Brace seemed to back down after that, sneaking in a couple of good last words before retreating. ""Almost forgot he had a mission, too. Huh."" Hex said, shaking her head out of it. ""You know, with the whole ""Josh finds his long lost best friends and allies,"" I guess I forgot.""<br/><br/>As the group began to continue along, Josh stood back for a moment, speaking with one of the pokemon at the camp. He clearly had great trust in them. She caught a bit of the conversation between the two. Josh mentioned something about a pokemon named Kiera, who Josh seemed to have great interest in. It must've been one of the pokemon who was missing from the camp. Maybe she was a close friend of Josh before he left the sea.<br/><br/>Hex attempted to shrug, only to realize she had no shoulders. ""Yeah.. sorry, Matt."" She said, watching as the amoeba lugged the plank around with his slimy fingers. ""Maybe when I evolve."" Matt continued to carry the plank down the waterfall, slowly hovering down, trying to balance with the long strip of wood, until he arrived at the pit. He laid it across, allowing Terra a safe entrance. She wouldn't be surprised if a Terra spat some insults for them taking so long. Or pounced on one of them.<br/><br/>""I think we could take on the cave."" Hex intervened. ""I mean, most fairy types could easily badly hurt a dragon type without a lot of struggling<i>too</i>badly. And with us standing behind her, I doubt there's a pokemon in that cave that could take all of us on at once."" This was, of course, assuming there were no sentient pokemon within that cave. A sentient dragon type might have more of a battle plan than attack, attack, defend, attack. But what were the chances of that?"

Sure, I was happy he was alive, but saying I was really a clone did make it bittersweet. Maybe, everything she said was just an attempt to make an attack on his life. He probably was really dead. Then again...<br/><br/>I felt a light tickle as I saw a little green stream traveling from me to the annoying Zubat. I shouldn't have felt it at all, although I hadn't really been a true steel Pokemon lately. ""What are you trying to do, go on a suicide mission?"" I said, loud and clear despite the currents of the sea. I flew over some sea rocks and an oddly-shaped (U-shaped) steel rod on the sea floor, which was clearly rusting and growing all sorts of sea life. By the time I got to the Zubat, he was desperately trying to suck the life out of me - yet, he couldn't even prick me. ""Uh, no.""<br/><br/>I simply swatted the Zubat away to my left, letting it drift off before sinking and bouncing on some rocks.

He then brought up a decent point, as in, how the heck did they actually get here without anything attacking them. I shrugged, and said ""Maybe they annoyed the wild pokemon to death, or something,"" I honestly didn't know, but I think it was possible that the wild pokemon never even bothered to attack them... but then... why? It seems to completely contradict their seemingly random behavior, as in, they'd attack almost anything or anyone else that tries to trespass on 'their' territory, and above that, how the heck did these low-ranking, constantly failing, so-called 'thugs' even get access to a dive HM? Of course, knowing them, they could have just tripped over one, and had to use their only reviver seed from the damage caused from their leader tripping and falling over something. I almost laughed at thinking about how that might have played out, and continue forwards until I come across an area that reminded me of that altar in Foggy Plains. It had the same color difference, and that same grey crystal sitting in the middle of that same stone structure, and just like last time, I was nearly hypnotized by it. My thought process was interrupted by someone rushing past me, and nearly hitting me with dragon rush... a rare and powerful move that was thankfully somewhat inaccurate. I turned to see Vine, yet, something was wrong with him... was it that smile that I've never seen him make before, or was it the fact that he was charging up some sort of weird, shadow-based attack? I couldn't even really move at this point, unfortunately. I was conflicted about attacking my brother, someone who hasn't actually done anything wrong, and wasn't a wild pokemon, but I knew that I couldn't just rely on evading attacks this whole fight.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>When Matt and the rest of us finally made it back to the spot where we left Terra, she looked more like a fire type than a fairy type, and Blaze was out of the backpack, looking up at her, scared. The bridge was made, and she instantly ran over to me, of all pokemon, and shouted ""You just thought you could DITCH ME back there!? What, is your brain made of the same goop that the REST of you is made of? I mean, it took you THIS LONG to find a plank of wood?"" She then started saying words that I probably shouldn't repeat or remember, until Blaze walked up to her and said ""Terra, that's enough yelling. They did the best that they could, let's just be happy that we were able to get across,"" thankfully, that calmed her down before she decided to move on to the rest of the group, and after taking a deep breath, and counting to one hundred for some reason, she asked ""Okay, so, do we have another plan of attack, or are we just heading up this mountain the slow way?"" I then added ""Well, Josh's friends found a secret passage that leade right up to the top of the mountain... um... but you'll have to find a way of climbing up a waterfall to get there..."" I then prepared for another voice-based beating but it never came, she simply calmly said ""Alright, lead the way, bucket man,"" though what she said was somewhat rude to Josh, for some reason, she sounded as if she was just messing around with him... which struck me as completely strange.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I frantically dig around in William's bag, finding an escape orb, only to get it knocked out of my hand by that exact conkeldurr. ""Um... looks like we're not going to be leaving this fight any time soon,"" I say as I try to look around for where the orb might have bounced or rolled off to. The conkeldurr then uses rock throw, aiming at William, I, however, take the attack... even if it hurt like heck. He then said some garbled grunting noises, which I could only assumed meant he was trying to communicate with us, but I didn't make any effort to try to understand, after all, what would someone like him even try to say at a time like this, 'Ha, ha, you're puny!' or some other stupid thing? I use frustration on him, however, for some odd reason, he seems to resist the attack, making it a complete waste of time at this point. I then decide to quickly use attract on him before he could attack again, just to try to make this somewhat winnable. I would have used my badge, but for some reason, it went back into 'emergency' mode, rather than 'mission completed' mode, which means that we'd lose several items, and all of our money if we tried to teleport back. I then wondered for a moment, why, exactly, the badges even did that, I mean, were they controlled by someone, or a group of pokemon that just sort of keep tabs on every explorer out there that has one of these badges? Why wouldn't they just keep it in 'mission completed' mode all the time, then? Was it that it actually takes longer that way, or does it cost more power from those who are controlling the badges? Maybe... I'm just looking too far into this."

""Damn, we're in a tight spot!"" I say as he aims up Rock Throw, but Bonnie takes the blow for me. I see Samuel gathering sticks and twigs and all that again. He tries setting them on fire again, but it just doesn't work. I see Bonnie and Sam's badges change into a different mode. I say ""Damn! We're in a tight spot!"" as I get up and run around him in circles, planning to get him dizzy. He lets go of one of the pillars and snatches me from the ground and laughs, snorting a lot, too. I scream, and begin kicking around. Samuel jumps on the brute's back and when it looks back, uses Thunder Shock directly in its eye, and it drops me. It roars, letting go of both pillars, and holding its eye, which also means dropping me. I land on my feet and shift back to my normal color, and Samuel tries getting his other eye, too. He misses, and I grab him. I then put him in my backpack, and run to wherever Bonnie was.<br/><br/>*CRASH!*<br/><br/>I flip back and he directs a barrage of attacks on me. He oddly didn't try to kill me... Samuel jumps back out of the bag and uses Absorb. Didn't do too much. He uses Thundershock again, and again, and again until he can't use it any more. He hurt the Conkeldurr a little bit. He attacked enough to paralyze it, and he drags me deeper into the dungeon. He finds a Sleep Seed and runs back, throwing it into the Conkeldurr's mouth. It quickly slumps onto the ground, and he sighs greatly. He looks around for the escape orb and rests.<br/>-Samuel-<br/>""We should probably hide. I mean, dumbo over here might not give up on attacking Will. Why is he attacking William anyways?"" I ask, popping my arms and neck. I take out my badge, and get ready to teleport back to the guild. I look at the flashing red and ask ""What does that mean?"" as I show it to Bonnie. I hear some groaning from over where I put William, and decide he might be awake. I walk back over to check on him, and his whole torso has marks from all the rocks. I help him up, and he rubs his eyes.<br/>-William-<br/>I look for the doll again, and find it where the pillars were. I pick it up and walk back over to the group. ""Wow... I think we should just stop searching for the orb and slip away the long way,"" I say, sore all over. I begin walking west again, hugging the doll. It was softer and not as scaly as my hands and arms. I feel Samuel hop into my bag as we walk back."

Too weak for those Pokemon."" And then, Vine (although at the time I was unaware of his name), as soon as we found the second alter. Would this be a running gag? Probably, but I did have hopes that it wasn't.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Remember that submarine, full of algae and inert missiles and torpedoes? One of the goons had a striking resemblance to Spruce, but since pretty much every Pokemon looked the same, I didn't bother to bring it up. I was practically chased out of there by him and another shadow Pokemon. Should've at least tried to arm those things - Davis shared me a few relics from the past, including a hasty scribble of launch codes.<br/><br/>If that wasn't disturbing enough, then it appeared I hadn't lost him. Oh, and my wound was glowing purple again. I didn't expect it to be too much of any help. ""Erm... my Arceus, didn't I lose you already?!"" That wasn't supposed to come out of my mouth. Regardless, we had bigger problems. Out in the distance, I could see Desia swimming to shore with that other goon. She had already tried to backstab me, right after that period of peace. It didn't seem quite fair, but we were dealing with something that could be counted as an infection... which made me worried, since that wound could infect me any second now. Damn dream traumatising me to the point where it actually begins to happen.<br/><br/>Thankfully, I wasn't fully organic yet. At least, according to my typing. I got smacked with a Dragon Rush move, whirling around and taking more damage from that, rather than the actual attack. I wasn't immune though, so you can tell how painful it was to not only take such a powerful move and only resist it, but also suffer the aftershock of it. ""Argh-argh-argh-"" Somehow, I managed to regain my balance, with my bubble being intact as my second miracle. I was about a few metres higher up than normal, being now the eye in the sky. ""Ar... woah. Spruce, why are fighting a shadow twin?!"" Contradictory to previous saying, but it was supposed to be limited to my thoughts. I was trying to brush away any association with Desia by pretty much forgetting I said something about losing the Snivy.<br/><br/>Being rather pissed, I would've attacked the twin. Unfortunately, I was more or less drained from before, so another one of my attacks would probably put me into submission. Not a good thing, and already the bubble around me was my only protection."

Just up ahead here.""<br/>Once they had gotten to the waterfall, Eddie and Pinky were waiting for them at the top. ""Yeah, it looks like we'll need the ropes."" Eddie said.

She then suddenly lets out a swift attack, which hits the strange snivy, only to make meager damage.<br/>""What in the..."" she says before getting hit back again, though not fainting, feeling something in her sparking more and more... Something strange.... Something she never felt before. It was as if her senses were starting to get more and more intense in the moment, feeling energy starting to flow inside her... But she did not know how to let it out... She looked at Spruce, sad as the Snivy started to move towards him, getting ready to attack .She felt a deep hopelessness in her.... but she then she got up, looking straight at the Snivy, walking towards it.

Was he colorblind or something? I was grey, and Vine was always a blue color... that is, until today, thanks to some sort of shadowy corruption, his scales had weird purple splotches all over them, but he certainly didn't look grey, at all. Of course, it could be due to the poor lighting in this place. Either way, something that worried me was how much he was attacking Celes, and he was using shadow moves, which I knew I could take, no problem. I rush in between him and Celes before another shadow rush could come into contact with her. I then try to use void whip, but fail. ""V-Vine... what happened?"" I ask him. Vine doesn't respond, and tries to use shadow rush on M, though, I manage to interrupt the attack once more. ""Big brother, why are you trying to hurt me and my friends?"" I then ask, though, I get no response from him. Instead, he decides to put us all in jeopardy by using thunderbolt underwater, electrifying the entire area, and somehow hurting me quite a bit... and I was resistant to it. I then try and fail to use a new move, leaf tornado. ""Ugh... why can't I attack?"" I then ask my teammates, wiping away a tear that formed in my eye.<i>Vine... who or what caused this? Why are you so evil right now?</i>I think as I try to gather the courage to use tackle on Vine. It fails, as expected, and he looks over towards M, preparing a dragon rush attack, as if he were trying to finish him off.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I notice all the chaos that happened after I took that rock throw for William, and manage to sneak in another attract, which seemed to work, this time.<i>Paralyzed and infatuated? He won't be able to move for another week.</i>I think as everyone around me started attacking and getting flung everywhere. Samuel then showed me his badge, which was also in 'emergency' mode. He then asked me what that meant, and I respond with ""It means that we'll lose everything we have if we try to teleport using our badges at this time,"" they then start to say something about escaping, and I add ""No... we all have to face our fears at some point. If we flee now, he'll just keep tailing us, and we all know that he'll crash our next mission if we don't finish him off right here, and now. He's paralyzed, and infatuated... he won't be able to move, let alone attack for quite some time,"" I explain to the rest of the team... it was weird, but, I wasn't too afraid of him anymore, and if I can take him down... maybe, just maybe I'd have a shot at taking down my own father. That thought filled me with courage and determination... I wasn't about to lose, no, not yet, and if I am supposed to lose, then I'm not going down without a fight. I use frustration on the conkeldurr, aiming right for his big, red, nose, and manage to actually deal some damage... sure, it wasn't much, but it was a start. He tried to do something, but one look at me seemed to be enough for him to stop, completely. Now... if only one of us could confuse, then we'd have this fight in the bag. I'd give them some advice, but it was probably obvious by now, just let him sit there and take damage from the best moves we could use at this point."

It stares at me, and I stare back, slowly morphing colors smoothly, in a swirled pattern, going faster and faster and faster, etc etc. I concentrate, closing my eyes and, like a psychic type might, get into his brain and sort of turn its thoughts into complete mush. I then put in some of my own thoughts, except I purposefully make them confusing, random, and alternating between very fast, and slower than a Shuckle without legs. After I have a good feeling that I sort of lobotomized it permanently without removing half of its brain, and fainted the beast entirely, I stop shifting colors, and stand up. ""He's done,"" I say, looking back. It was fainted. I had an extremely bad headache from that, and I say ""C'mon. Let's go,"" as I begin walking west again. Samuel follows me, and I rub my forehead.

She then saw Vine going for a dragon rush. She suddenly rushes and blocks Vine's taking the damage, before something inside her clicked. Vine, annoyed by her persistance, prepared a shadow rush attack.... before getting hit by a large blast of light coming from Celes.

I'll happily destroy you, you useless excuse for a brother,"" Vine's voice sounded different, harsher than the voice I was used to... why did he call me useless, and what the heck did Desia have to do with this? I remember him saying something about her back before all of this mess, but it seemed like she was just a friend... not his lover, or something. The thought of those two together like that was almost enough to make me puke... thankfully, only almost. I tried to use the fact that he was with her, an enemy as some motivation to attack, yet fail miserably once again.

I'm not sure, though, I mean, I haven't seen any beedril looking for her yet,"" that was strange... Hex? A princess? Pfffft, if that were true, then we wouldn't have any kind of money issues around here, kinda like that time that Terra gave us all that money back in Scale City, except it would be all the time. Yeah... we'd have the coolest stuff, and we'd have all the awesome berries we could carry with the best wheelbarrow we could find... or maybe even a couple of machamps to carry the stuff if we fill up the wheelbarrow.

I take a closer look, and then pull out the orb, though, I decide against using it, after all, we might actually need it some other time. Instead, I pressed the button on my badge to teleport back to the Treasure Town guild.<i>Maybe someday I'll be able to stand up to my father... that would be nice...</i>I think as I wait for the others to teleport back as well. I notice a strange group hanging around the outlaw board... they were a trio of poochyena who seemed to be looking for a mission. I walked up to one of them, but he barked at me and said ""Stay out of our way, missy, we've got an outlaw to catch,"" I would have attacked them, but... well... they weren't wild, so I'd probably get in trouble, no matter what they said to me beforehand.

There was a large boulder, and he assumed the entrance to the tunnel was behind it.<br/>""Hey Ray, we need your help with this."" Eddie said.<br/>Ray came out of one of the tents, and went over to them. ""You're going to try again? Eddie, you barely made it out last time.""<br/>""I'm not going in. They are.""<br/>""Alright then. I should warn you, though, you'll get swarmed as soon as you walk in.""<br/>Ray rolled the boulder out of the way, just enough for them to get into the tunnel.<br/>""Now, once you go in, I'll have to put the boulder back so the wild Pokemon can't get to us. I hope you have a light source, 'cause it'll get dark in there.""<br/>Josh assumed that Blaze would be able to light it up. ""Yeah, I think we'll be okay. Thanks, Ray.""<br/><br/>Once everyone was inside, Ray pushed the boulder over the entrance. Josh couldn't see a thing. There could be wild Pokemon all around them and they wouldn't even know. They weren't getting attacked yet, though.<br/>""This doesn't seem to bad."" Josh said. ""Where are all the-""<br/>Josh was interrupted when a Noibat flew overhead, hitting him with a Gust. He could hear several other Pokemon launching attacks at his teammates.<br/>""Blaze, we need you to light this place up a little."" Josh said. He wouldn't be able to hit any of them if he couldn't see them."

It wasn't quite as light as she had imagined it out to be. It was like a giant gaping maw in there, and even looking in from the entrance it seemed almost pitch black. It was like the cave was protected by a wall of darkness from the outside. Hex took a deep breath, waiting for everyone to head into the cave. Hopefully Blaze could light it up for them, or they'd be trapped in the darkness.<br/><br/>Hex ventured in alongside the rest of the team, squinting. Matt and Anthony's both seemed to just barely shine, but it was only the outside sun reflecting off of their amorphous bodies. She heard the sound of rock against rock, and suddenly the boulder rolled over the entrance of the cave, trapping the team in. Now it was just them and the darkness. It was completely silent for a moment, and it seemed that they were all alone in the cave. Ralph began, ""Where are all the-""<br/><br/>Hex heard a rumbling, and felt a set of dull teeth enclosing around her. She quickly gusted, and heard the pokemon hit the cave wall before the sound of digging filled her ears again. Hex looked around, completely blind to the pokemon attacking. ""You had to open your mouth."" She said, trying to get a foothold. Hex heard the sound of digging stopping, and felt a sudden rush of air. She gusted in front of her, and heard the pokemon abruptly hit the wall with a growl.<br/><br/>Hex tried to calm herself down. It would be fine, if Blaze could just get that light up. For the third time, she heard the digging stop, and preparing herself for an attack, she looked around. This only made her realize she still couldn't see. She felt a hard headbutt rather than a bite, and it was her turn to get knocked into the wall. She felt a presence looming over, and she could barely see the silhouette of something hanging right over her, it's head hung low.<br/><br/>Hex barely had time to register what was happening before she felt a strong sharpness in her mouth, and almost out of instinct, lunged forward to bite whatever was there. She felt a hard shell in her mouth. The pokemon squealed before digging into the dirt again. ""Huh."" She said, gnashing her teeth. ""That's new."""

Anyways, that took you a long time,"" Meowstic says, handing the doll to his daughter. She stops crying and hugs the doll tightly, taking deep breaths. I smile and the meowstic hands us each 1000 poke, to which Chatot swoops in, taking all of it, and giving us 10% back. The meowstic sees this, and is disgusted. ""Thief! You can't take away their hard-earned money!"" The meowstic says. Chatot squawks ""It's for... er... their training. 90% of their earnings go to the guildmaster to pay for their training...

He scolds us for not showing up to 'The Morning Cheer' and gives us our cut of the money back. I sigh, and say ""I got more money than this at my old job,"" as i put the money in my backpack. ""I'm tired. Wanna call it a day and just rest?"" I ask, popping my shoulders. I go to the crew rooms and rest. Meanwhile, Samuel was in other rooms, looking through other people's stuff. He walks back into our crew room. ""Bidoof's Diary, page twenty three: I found something weird! There was this mission that this kid had. I took it for her because she was sleeping when she shouldn't have, and I was ready to save whatever kid was in danger!

Spruce was nearly dead, Celes WAS dead, and I was next. I glared at Vine silently, not exactly painless and well-rested.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>Funny that. None of that actually happened.<br/><br/>Celes' choice of words was rather odd, but otherwise fitting for this situation. Made it seem like some sort of fantasy. Vine's attack was supposed to be the real fantasy, charging me up as my Tackle move instead let out a move known to be Thunder Wave. Unlike my other electrical move, it was controlled like a wave and just bolted towards Vine, instead of spraying everywhere. I prayed to Arceus that my attack would be followed with paralysis, adding in how the move shouldn't miss despite accidentally using that.<br/><br/>Things fell quiet. Aside from Celes and Vine's one-on-one battle, everything else was suspiciously quiet. The ocean became as normal as hearing the air on land. With only luck and a ring of coins around me, I rushed to Vine's side. ""Oh phew, you're awake."" I said, grinning with my eye. ""We're gonna be outta Hell soon.""<br/><br/>Ironically, Vine rammed into me with a Dragon Rush attack, full of purple fury and yellow crackles - damn bastard missed the shield that was Celes and (un)luckily got me instead. All I could remember was a good night lullaby filled with curses and cackles. My vision was off and my head hurt as much as the first time I got a concussion. I was still alive, thanks to my typing though.<br/><br/>""Argh..."" I slipped my radar dish back on my head. I couldn't see right and couldn't lock my eye onto something, but I could feel Vine had held onto me as he tried to yank a magnet away from me. As I had other ideas (and he would take forever to go against the forces of nature/physics/magnetism), I jostled it away from him (which was easier than expected, thanks to his paralysis) and jabbed him in his chest with both my magnets, separating the merged bubble between us as he floated backwards. ""You've got guts to go against a person trying to save someone's life."" Granted, I wasn't really saving Spruce from anything, although technically it can be counted as reviving someone and therefore performing medic duty. And, basically you're a monster if you attack someone performing healing duties. Don't ask me, ask Davis. He's been in more shit than me."

""I should have known... that a coward like you wouldn't fight me one-on-one..."" Vine says to me, though, just from the pauses he had to take during his speech, I could tell that he couldn't take much more. I couldn't bring myself to say anything to him, and he continued with ""With you out of the picture, Desia and I will be free to rule as king and queen... heh, to rule this horrible, unforgiving world that has taken so much from me... I guess it's the least that this planet can do for me,"" he then, after taking a look at all of my teammates, including me, ran up to Celes, charging himself with that familiar shadowy energy. I ran, or, rather, tried to run to get in the way of my attack, with me knowing that shadow-type moves don't effect me at all, however, while I couldn't make it to him in time, he simply stopped dead in his tracks, and said something under his breath about paralysis.<i>Wait... he's NOT immune to electric-type moves?</i>I thought as I recalled a few adventures, or, more accurately, the handful of adventures that Vine and I went on as a team... every time except for now, he was completely immune to electric-type attacks, heck, that's what got us out of that fight against the group of luxio and their leader, the luxray.<i>It must have something to do with this shadow energy... could it have changed him this much?</i>I then think as I limp over to where the fight was. Sure, Celes told me to stay back, but it there was a chance that I could block another attack for her, then I'd take it. Heck, this wasn't even just from the love, but Celes was easily doing the most damage out of all of us... with me not even being able to so much as even attack him... hold it... 'love'? When did that happen?<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Terra and I simply followed the others into the dark, mysterious shortcut, and Terra is almost instantly asked to light the place up with Blaze. After that, she pulls out a stick, and says ""On it. Blaze, use your searing shot on this stick,"" Blaze, after exiting from her backpack for a brief moment, uses some sort of fire-type attack on the stick that Terra pulled out of her bag, lighting the place up to reveal a murkrow, a noibat, a goomy, and two dratini. The murkrow, apparently surprised by the light, flew away from the team before I could do anything, and the noibat shouted at the bird for being a coward, apparently angry at him for leaving the battle before it even began. The other pokemon spread out their attacks, with the noibat trying to use leech life on Matt, possibly just because it would be super-effective, with the goomy slowly making its way over to me to eventually use tackle on me, which I easily countered with counter, throwing its attack back at it with double the power... though... the attack didn't do all that much to me, unfortunately. The dratini then tried to attack Josh with twister, though, since Josh was in a bucket... somehow, I didn't think the attack would actually do much. Terra just sorta stayed there for a bit until the dragons noticed her, and started to try to leave, with someone from somewhere using pursuit on the noibat before he could successfully fly away, knocking the noibat out, and 'encouraging' the other pokemon to stay in the fight. Terra didn't seem to do anything, she didn't attack for some reason, and that prompted me to ask ""Hey, Terra, why aren't you helping?"" She then shrugged, and answered ""Well, I've pretty much beaten up this whole mountain... I'd rather let you guys catch up to me, and... well... I kinda don't want to be completely relied on,"" weird, though, who was helping us? I didn't know ANY pokemon that might know pursuit, and whoever they were, they were just out of the view of our torchlight.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I start to head off to bed, and notice Samuel digging through some bidoof's stuff. My first thought was<i>What a jerk... he just can't leave anyone's things alone, can he?</i>but, then I heard him actually read it, and apparently, that guy couldn't get too far in his search for my father, which was a good thing.<i>Whew... well, I guess something good DID come from Samuel burning down my first actual home... maybe he's not so bad after all.</i>I then think after hearing the whole thing. A smile came to my face before I headed off, again, towards my room. Today's mission was quick, but it was rough. It took a ton out of me, even if I didn't really show it until now. I check my backpack, just to make sure that the mission statement was still in there, and, thankfully, it was, and I stupidly put the backpack under my pillow, and started to sleep. I was thinking of pretty nice things, such as beating down that jerk who seemed to have us beat, and the fact that the bidoof wasn't able to get to my father's house, as in, at all, thanks to the fire, and then I finally started to dream... this time, sure, my father was included, but, this time, I actually fought back, and my attacks were actually hurting him. It was as if I had a shot at beating him, which was comforting, and, better yet, his attacks couldn't seem to make contact with me. This battle in my dream was going much better than it usually did, that is, with me being completely unable to fight back, and with him... no, I probably shouldn't even think about thinking of that, else it may just change my dream, and so far, this was one of my best."

There was a Goomy, a Murkrow, a Noibat, and two Dratini. The Murkrow fled as soon as the torch was lit, leaving the other four to fight. Matt got hit with a Leech Life from the Noibat, then began putting up Reflect to shield them from attacks. One of the Dratini used Twister on Josh, who retaliated with a spray of acid.<br/>""Looks like I got a new move."" Josh said.<br/>At this point, the wild Pokemon had noticed Terra, and tried to flee. After one of them got knocked out by Pursuit, they decided to stay and fight. Nobody in the group knew Pursuit, though. Somebody else was here with them. It seemed like they were trying to help them, but Josh couldn't help but wonder who it was.<br/>""Who's there?"" he asked, hoping that whoever it was would reveal themselves.

He looks up at Celes who was walking towards him, now obviously scared.<br/>""Wha... This energy... what are you!"" Vine yells.<br/>""Your worst nightmare...."" Celes responded before blasting him once again. Vine was almost finish then. Celes walked to Vine and lifted his head with one of her paws.<br/>""Never will you hurt me and my friends again!"" she yells before letting out one final light blast attack, larger then her previous ones, blasting Vine full force and sending him in the air before crashing on the ground. Celes breath deeply, having expended her energy in that last attack. Vine was now fainted... That what she wanted to do. She then fell on the ground, breathing deeply after this. She was still conscious, but felt as if she was ran over by a million tauros.... What the heck was that energy she used? How did she end up using it anyway? So many questions... so little answers. It was really annoying her so much... She breath deeply, and looks back at her team.<br/>""It... it is done.... "" she says, before falling on her side, her legs hurting too much right now.

The torch emitted a low hissing noise, as the fire ate away at the wood. The light revealed the attackers, who almost seemed to flinch at the sudden brightness. A Goomy, Noibat, and two Dratini surrounded them, just within the reach of the flickering flames. The skin of these pokemon seemed to be pale and translucent.. the Goomy more so than regularly.<br/><br/>The attempted to attack, but the rest of the team seemed to shrug off them off with ease. Matt was leeched, but he quickly set up a barrier of transparent, glowing glass. The Dratini launched a twister at Matt, but it mostly seemed to just kind of swirl the water around in the bucket like a toilet, so he sprayed acid at it. The Goomy attacked Anthiny, onyx to just kind of bounce off of him. They seemed slightly off of their game, due to the sudden introduction of light.<br/><br/>Hex gusted aside one of the Dratini, a bit tempted to try out her new bite attack, but decided that she would just go for the easy route. Terra, on the other hand, was simply standing there, until the wild pokemon seemed to notice her, and began to flee. The Goomy kind tried to slowly slither away with the Dratini, but they were disorganized and hurrying. The Noibat attempted to fly away, before a glowing purple jab knocked it out of the sky.<br/><br/>The Noibat hit the ground hard, landing on the rock in a frail heap. The pursuit had completely knocked it out, causing it to veer off course and into the wall. ""We won't hurt you."" She said, trying to add onto Josh's question. Chances were, though, that the pokemon hiding in the shadows could probably take them all on with ease. It so easily slapped a Noibat out of consciousness, it could probably just do the exact same to them without a care in the world."

Could have been just my concussion though - any more of these and I'll probably go crazy forever. Sure, I couldn't see right, but as long as we found some berries then we'd get more or less better. It's like a potion in an edible ball. Celes had... an emotional breakdown and expressed herself to Vine, and that just saved everyone's life.<br/><br/>""Right. Let's try to forget this all happened. This guy's dead, she's dead, you and me are still alive. Who wants to party?"" Turned out to be rather insulting to call someone alive 'dead.' Especially if they saved your arse.

We're near the shore or something - I'm gonna go try to find some berries at this time of day, just so we can stay awake as we get back to the guild."" My Arceus. I really did not notice how dark it was in the outside world. It was still pretty bright down here, to which I assumed it was a function of the HM. Those things take every situation seriously.

I then hear someone approaching us, and turn to see a lopunny, a medicham, and a gardevior, all in a bubble just like ours. The three seemed tougher than they looked, and once they got to us, the lopunny asked me ""What happened here?"" I start to answer, ""Well, you see Vine-"" I was cut off, however, by the gardevior saying ""Vine must have gotten himself knocked out trying to protect you from some giant monster, right?"" I shake my head 'no', but the medicham, apparently ignoring me, adds ""Of course that's what happened! What else could it have been?""

""Ugh... wha happen?"" Vine asked, apparently confused. His colors didn't change one bit, but at least he sounded like himself, again. I was going to say something, but, I couldn't, for some reason. ""Spruce...? How'd you get here? Where is here? And... why are you grey?"" He asked me, one question after another without any time to answer in between them. I then answered ""Um... in that order, yes, it's me, a Dive HM, we're at the bottom of the ocean near Treasure Town, and... that last one's kind of a long story,"" Vine then looked over to Celes, and checked his bag, apparently for a reviver seed, but, he didn't find anything, this much was apparent due to the next thing he said ""I'm sorry, but I don't have anything for her right now.

I, however, had more important things to do, such as... um... countering another tackle from that other goomy, I guess. Terra sat down, and Blaze started asking her to help us out, however, she didn't listen to him at all, and just shook her head whenever he asked her to help. The two dratini both decided to attack Hex, and both attacked with twister, hoping to slam her into a wall, or something. Out of nowhere, an orange beak came out of the shadows, and whatever it was attached to used peck on one of the dratini, though, it didn't seem to do nearly as much as pursuit did, I could only assume that this was the mystery pokemon.<i>Wait... wasn't there a murkrow in this mess, before? Wouldn't a murkrow know peck and possibly pursuit? Hmm...</i>I think as the goomy finally uses something other than tacke with... bubble. I almost didn't even realize that was supposed to be an attack, and tried to use absorb, but it didn't seem to really do all that much, unfortunately. It didn't seem as though either myself or the other goomy were really going to gain much ground until another attack from the darkness, this time an astonish on the other goomy, making him flinch, and giving me an opportunity to use tackle on him, and finally knocking him out."

Not candlelight, not even electrical light. Suspicious, I continued forwards, smiling as my glowing wound lost colouration. While it would probably illuminate the next time I fought a shadow Pokemon, it would at least give me an early warning of some in the area.<br/><br/>My smile quickly faded upon hearing some familiar voices. ""...if fighting is sure to result in victory then you must FIGHT! Sun Tzu said that..."" Oh Arceus. What have I stumbled upon? ""Heheh... I've missed a lot, haven't I?"" The loud voices definitely kept me awake. I floated out of the water, going over patches of bright berry bushes. I heard voices that trampled on memories. One part of me didn't want to know what was happening, but the other part was<i>soooo</i>damn curious. I would try to kill my other side after knowing what was inside the rather old cabin.<br/><br/>The door wasn't closed. The voices continued droning on about Sun Tzu. I felt a sharp feeling that hurt more than Desia ever could. I made a little prayer as I slowly peered through the door, Wingulls watching me as they had nothing better to do...<br/><br/><i>No.</i>You know. When I usually saw Davis, I would be happy and wishing for him to come back. But, no. This time, he was dead to me.<br/><br/>I see what Desia meant by 'replacement.' ""Davis, we've got a visitor."" I heard the other voice speak, seeing me as if it was completely normal for a badly-scarred Magnemite to enter without knocking.<br/><br/>""What?! We aren't supposed to have visi- oh."" While he yelled at my replacement, I just entered casually, floating and making no sound. There were two Porygons in this room with me. Both looked old, but the other just looked cracked and dusty. The cabin itself looked cosy, although it had some old relics from the past. Davis had laid out his stars and stripes flag onto the wall, obviously in tatters and remarkably clean of rot.<br/><br/>""So. Desia said something about... a replacement. Is that true?""<br/><br/>""You spoke with Desia?"" Davis asked, rather shocked I would go to such lengths. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.<br/><br/>""Is that true? You... replaced me, with an excuse of a Porygon?""<br/><br/>""Actually, it's the other way around."" I felt nervous hearing my own voice, coming from that Porygon. ""You see, Davis and I had to get away from Desia for a while... and, he was going to go insane in that community, with no one else to speak to him. So, he created you."" He seemed to smile at the end of that sentence, despite not being able to show facial expressions. His tone said it all. ""I'm Milloon. You're Milloon. Guess who's the clone.""<br/><br/>""Davis, you bloody idiot..."" I was about to start my speech, wiping tears across my eye and deliberately flinging them onto the Porygon. ""For many bloody years, I thought we had a<i>thing</i>going. I was created not as a meaningless companion but as a personal friend of yours.""<br/><br/>""That's what he inten-""<br/><br/>""Oh shut up you fucking idiot."" The Porygon raised his head at me. Davis silently gestured at the Porygon to keep down. ""And now, I find out the ugly truth. I have spent DAYS looking for you, getting myself killed and leaving behind scars that will never fade. LOOK AT ME. Does it LOOK healthy? Do I FEEL healthy? Will I EVER be healthy? Only damn Arceus knows, because you couldn't give two fucks about me and what I had to go through, JUST SO I COULD FIND YOU HEAR RECITING LINES FROM A VIDEO GAME."" Davis simply sat there, staring at me. ""Aye... I'll never know how you managed to live all this time while I went through a cycle of pain. I spent so much of my time looking for you. Then, you try to push out a note telling me of your death... did you know how broken I am knowing Desia wasn't lying? She may have attacked us afterwards, but for goodness sake she kept her word. You will never understand how much I've changed since looking for you... and now, I don't even know what to say to you.""<br/><br/>""You best get going."" The Porygon said, on the same tone as I was. ""There's no room here for you. Davis has made his decision, and now you're gonna have to leave.""<br/><br/>With those words, I turned my back on everyone. ""Milloon, wait!""<br/><br/>I thought I heard the Porygon muttering how it wasn't my name. Davis came rushing to me as I began floating towards the water. ""Don't...""<br/><br/>""Don't what?"" I asked him, without much emotion. ""Don't leave you? Don't make me go through pain to find you hanging out by a replacement?""<br/><br/>""No... I'm really,<i>really</i>sorry this had to happen."" Davis spoke in a softer tone, softer than his usual voice. ""It's just... well, I had to talk to something during my time.""<br/><br/>""Maybe, you shouldn't have created me. I'm better off dead as a clone.""<br/><br/>""You're not a clone. You've gained sentience, and that's remarkable considering how I've really made you out of scrap metal and some stray red energy. You aren't dead to me, but... it's certainly not your fault everything has happened.""<br/><br/>With those words, I sank into the water, letting a bubble form over me. I was tired listening to him. ""Miles... Miles, is your new name. I don't want you thinking you're a clone then next time you beat the crap out of Desia."" I smiled a little, but I didn't let it show to Davis.<br/><br/>""Well... bye then. Forever.""<br/><br/>I was broken. Into pieces which got mashed. I approached my own group, unsure what to say as I sighed. The bubble formed around me without the HM, which I presumed was a result of being a part of this group. I didn't want to think at this point, though.<br/><br/>""Nevermind. I couldn't find any berries."" Then, I noticed the group. I didn't really change my expression, though."

A bird Pokemon that knows Peck and Pursuit...could it have been the Murkrow they saw earlier? It made sense.<br/>Anthony managed to knock out the Goomy, leaving only the two Dratini.

She wasn't surprised. The cave pokemon seemed to have relative distaste toward the torch light, so it might've been sensitive to it. Or it just preferred to stay unseen. Nearby, the two Dratini decided to launch two twisters at her. Two spiraling gusts of wind were blasted out at her, and she felt herself becoming disoriented. Hex shot a gust out, trying to redirect the twisters.<br/><br/>One of the twisters was interrupted, and Hex redirected it into a cave wall, forcing the winds to a halt. The other twister, however, spun her right round, disorienting her. It took her a moment to get back to her senses, only to see one of the Dratini wincing as an orange beak momentarily came in to attack it, before disappearing once again in the darkness. Meanwhile, Anthony was having a battle with a Goomy. It wasn't much of a good battle. It was pretty once sided, as Anthony damaged it with ease.<br/><br/>Whoever the pokemon hiding in the shadows was, it was being helpful, which was pretty good. The other Dratini, that hadn't been pecked, was covered in Josh's acid. The liquid hit it's skin with a long hissing sound, and the Dratini squirmed under the heavy goop. From the Pursuit, and the beak, she presumed it was a Murkrow, probably. There wasn't much else in the cave that might've had both dark type and a beak. Matt set up another flat, glass wall of light, that seemed to reflecting off of the torch light.<br/><br/>The mystery pokemon seemed to already be doing more than Terra, having already damaged two of their attackers. At least Terra seemed to be completely invincible from the dragons, so she didn't have to do much beside sit down and watch like a spectator at a Gladiator's arena. Hex gusted one of the Dratini into a cave wall, trying to keep it pinned there with a wall of constant, strong winds. The Dratini attempted to slither away a couple of times, but she was just smack it back into the wall. Her gusts seemed to have gotten stronger since she had begun."

I could already hear the loud, and annoying snores from Arnold, and for some reason, I could hear Archie talking in his sleep... but.. from somewhere above us?<i>Weird... I don't think there are any beds up on the top floor... are there?</i>I think as I realize just how tired we are, and also just how hurt Celes is. I then turn back towards M, and say ""Um... I'm going to go get the nurse, alright?"" Afterwards, I run off, concerned for her health, though, I could have sworn she said something before I teleported... weird, I know, but, I just couldn't shake the feeling that she whispered something just before I forced us all to leave the area. I tried to shake that feeling as I ran to the nurse's room, taking the ladder down, and using the door right next to the guildmaster's office, it wasn't a long trip or anything thanks to the fact that we actually have a nurse's room in the guild, unlike the guild back at Treasure Town... or, at least, that's what I've been told. I open the door and am greeted to an Audino that looks a lot like the guildmaster, yet, was female... odd. ""Oh, hello there! What's the problem?"" She asked me in a much higher voice compared to the guildmaster's deep baritone. I simply answered ""Um... just, um... follow me, okay?"" She nods, and, apparently having nothing else to do, she followed me back up the ladder, where Celes still lied. ""Oh my... she seems horribly exhausted. Don't worry, though, I'll make sure she's up and ready to go by tomorrow!"" The nurse then picked up Celes and took her down to the nurse's room, and I followed. I ended up staying the night there, worried that she might not wake up, and only fell asleep once I got too tired to stay awake.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The dratini that was subject to Hex's flurry of gust attacks fainted right there, on the spot, meaning that there was now only one enemy left... one who tried to escape, again, but, much like the noibat from earlier, was hit with a pursuit attack from our mystery helper... which may or may not have been a murkrow. The attack was almost enough to faint the last dratini, and I suppose the 'honor' went to me, as one more tackle from me was enough to finish the dratini off. I then inched towards our helper, and saw a bit of him. ""It's alright, now, you can come into the light,"" I say to the bird, who does just that, revealing himself as a murkrow, just as I had already suspected. ""Um... hi... I'm, um, Daniel. I kinda got lost on my way back home, um... mind helping me out of this cave?"" He asks us, shaking as if he was afraid of something, possibly the light. Terra let out a yawn, apparently somewhere along the line, she fell asleep. She then looked at Daniel, and started to use fairy wind, though, thankfully, she was stopped by Blaze, who shouted at her ""No! Don't! He's one of us!"" Terra grumbled a bit, and said a few things like 'Oh, so now we're just trusting anyone, now?' and 'Yeah, the dark type ISN'T going to try to steal you while we sleep,' but after a little debate with Blaze, who must have been learning the language quickly just from these debates, she eventually, and begrudgingly said ""Fine, we'll help you out, but we're only doing this because we're going the same way,"" I then turned to the rest of my team before heading off, with Daniel following directly behind me."

She stares at the thing, scared a bit now, before it started to speak.<br/>""Shhh.... it's alright.... I am not gonna hurt you..."" the voice said... soundlng... female.... and soothing.

Get a horrible scar, start growing a red and black, clawed hand, a concussion, and now an emotional breakdown. As I settled in the air in our room, I slammed the door and began feeling water run down my face.<br/><br/>It was tears. A whole load of pain and nothing to gain from it. I continuously tried wiping my face away of the tears, but it wouldn't work when using magnets. Instead, I was calmed using my hand, reaching up from underneath and properly drying my face. I sniffed and snorted, laying on some blankets as I continued letting out a stream down my eye. I didn't what to do now - continue onwards with my friends? Try to get revenge on Desia and Davis? What could I do? I had no further purpose being a clone, really. I slid down onto my back, hearing laughter erupt from a room beside ours.

She could hear it squeal as it faded into unconsciousness.<br/><br/>She heard a flutter of wings, and watched as a Murkrow slowly revealed himself from the shadows. He let on that his name was Daniel, and he was trying to escape the caves too. He seemed pretty powerful, enough to take on the wild pokemon here, at least.

It flowed through the air with ease, and right before she released it, Blaze stopped her, thankfully not knocking Daniel out.<br/><br/>""Thanks for the help back there."" She said to Daniel, glancing at the Murkrow. She still felt a bit of unease around him, but she always found a way find unease with dark types. After the little scuffle with the wild pokemon, Josh decided it was time to continue forward and through the cave so that they could finally finish the dungeon. She blinked her eyes, feeling the adrenaline from the not-quite-exciting fight beginning to wear off. They had been going at it for 3 days. 3 days?<br/><br/>To think, that the team had so far only gone through a couple of missions so far. It seemed like they had spent months together as a team, but apparently it had only been maybe a short week, maybe less. She had been away from the hive for at least week. That was probably the longest she had ever been away from it all. Surprisingly, the only incident that had happened so far with the Beedrill was the captain and his assistant harassing Archie and Arnold, but that had only been once. What else could they do?"

We still have to head down the mountain, and head north,"" Terra then adds ""This looks like a good place to set up camp, though,"" unfortunately, however, we didn't have any supplies for a camp. I guess that meant that we'd have to just find a way to sleep on the ground, which would be a HUGE difference from the hotel that we were just in. Terra seemed to notice this too, and eventually sighed, saying ""So... none of you thought to bring any camping supplies? Fine, I guess we're sleeping on the ground,"" she then, hesitantly, lays down on the ground and falls asleep. I join her soon enough, though, I didn't have to lay down, I just needed to shut my eyes.

He thought it would just be a simple, one-day mission where they investigate something in Crystal Chasm, but now, three days later, they were at the top of Mt.

Hex asked, as they reached the end to the cave. As she emerged, she felt a definite drop in temperature. It was slight, but it certainly dropped. She felt the air becoming thinner, but that didn't stop the winds. The airspace felt completely messed up, with some winds blowing in one direction, and other winds blowing in another direction. She found that she actually had a difficult time preventing herself from completely being blown off of the mountain.<br/><br/>Hex sighed, hearing they had no supplies. ""We're going to sleep on the ground, aren't we?"" She asked, sighing. ""Yup, we're going to sleep on the ground."" She wasn't surprised. Being explorers, they'd have to do this at least once or twice. But, still. She had never slept on the ground before. Much less on on top of a mountain. Everyone looked a little pissed off, probably from trekking up a mountain for a whole day, and having to fight off a bunch of wild pokemon.<br/><br/>Hex felt another strong gust, and almost fell to the ground. It was probably from the fact that she was one of the lightest teammates, and, maybe one of the weakest, because she had a difficult time actually flying over the wall. Once she had reached the engraved monolith, she had to nestle into it in order to prevent herself from rolling off. She threw the satchel onto the ground, to use as a makeshift blanket, and curled up under it, feeling the wind blowing. It didn't seem to bother anyone else, but it was starting to get annoying for her."

I blame that little bit of weirdness on sleepwalking and continue on, though, something was off... somehow, I was the first pokemon on my team to actually wake up... I mean, usually, I'd be the last one to wake up, and yet... here I was waking up before everyone else. I still slept in, as it seems like I've missed the morning greeting, or whatever it was called, and headed off to the nurse's room before getting a mission. Celes was there, and, as expected, asleep. She looked a lot better, though, and the nurse was asleep for some reason. I walk over to her, and think<i>I really hope she's okay... I hope she's well enough to go on a mission with me. I don't want to leave her behind.</i>I then take a seat near her, and wait for her to get up, hoping that she'd be ready to go, or at least somewhat ready to go, once she does. I was waiting patiently, mainly due to the fact that M wasn't even awake at this point, and, something seemed a little off about him anyways. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but, ever since last night, something's just been different about him... maybe it was emotionally, but, it could have been physically, heck, maybe it was both.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I yawn and reform as the sun rises, and notice that everyone else, including Terra and Daniel, were fast asleep.<i>Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I'm an early riser.</i>I think as I look around the area. The altar that Hex was hiding behind seemed to have some sort of weird, grey crystal on it, but, it didn't seem all that amazing, and what might have been weirder was the scream I heard from inside the cave. I made my way to the entrance of the cave, and notice a pichu running from a kadabra, who seemed angry at the little guy, and was shooting psywave, or some other psychic-beam move at the innocent victim. While I couldn't tell what he was angry about, I knew that something was wrong here... but, I couldn't bring myself to side with someone who was beating up on someone else who was clearly under their level, and obviously much younger than they were. ""Hey! Stop picking on that little guy!"" I shouted at the kadabra, who turned his attention towards me after that, and he shot another one of those beams at me, however, Daniel, who, I assume woke up from my shouting, got in the way of the attack, with it just getting absorbed into him without leaving so much as a mark. ""Um... I'm not going to let you do that, mister kadabra,"" Daniel then says as the pichu takes his spot, hiding behind me. I didn't really expect much else from the little rodent pokemon, and I attacked the kadabra with a tackle. I had to leave my spot to do that, and that make the pichu freak out for a moment.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I mumbled and grumbled a bit for being woken up and basically dragged to the morning greeting, and I answered as such until I heard William mention the mission that I had in my bag. My eyes widen just from him bringing that mission up, and I say ""NO! nonononono. Not today, not ever, this mission's just too much, alright? We'll get killed in there, um, I'm just making sure that no other rookies like us take that mission and run off to their death,"" I then run away from William, and look around for another spot to hide the mission. I decide on hiding the mission in the middle of someone's diary. This diary had a picture of a sunflower on it, so it kinda looked like a book that nobody on the team would ever want to read... that, and I made sure to hide it in the middle, not the start or the end, where they could just open it up from either side and find it... no, they'd have to dig deep in that diary to find that mission. I then ran back to William and add ""Also, I think I actually lost it, um, see, I ran off to go find it so I could show you just how outmatched we are this time, but I couldn't find it,"" I then head off to the mission board, and say ""But, hey, no big deal, right? We can just pick a mission off of this board,"" I then look around at the available missions, however, unfortunately, none of them seemed to catch my eye... none of them promised any sort of exciting adventure in some far off land... but, I suppose that was just the order of the day for this rookie team."

""Stareeeeeeeee"" he droned as he stared at her, once more forgetting what he was there to do"

Whether that be freshly broken, a lack of sleep, or just 'screw you life'... the point was, I got out of bed just to tell Kamina to go away. I usually never found Kamina annoying, what with his enthusiastic attitude and all, but I wasn't myself lately. ""I'm serious. Go away, or I'll swat you away."" I said with a rather serious and dark tone, sighing as I floated upwards and left the room. The corridor was getting busy again, what with all the jobs around and such. Some Pokemon caught my eye, but otherwise I didn't mind them too much as I decided to go check on Celes.<br/><br/>""Watch it-"" Glad that Ninetails knew where to position herself. She flinched upon seeing me, with all these scars and... other horrible stuff.<br/><br/>""Move out of the damn way."" I brushed her tails aside, getting a pair of Pokemon whisper and gossip in their cabin about me. I simply floated eerily and entered the room on my right, silently staring at all. ""Morning everyone. I see someone's happy."" That was a bit of irony, since I couldn't see anyone smiling.<span class=""bb-strike"">Robert</span>(Damn multi-universe theory) Spruce seemed to express concern but kept his mouth shut. ""Should we take the day off? We've been through a lot. And... I prefer to hunt Desia when we don't get a visit from Death/Yveltal in the last day or so."" My voice seemed more monotone than usual, but I didn't care. How else would I react? Angrily? Bitterly? Sadly? I think I was better off just speaking 'normally.'"

""Who's there?"" He looked around for a moment, until he finally saw Anthony and Daniel fighting a Kadabra. With Daniel on their side, it shouldn't take too long. Still, it was kind of annoying to have someone attacking them this early in the morning. ""Let's get this over with."" Josh said, firing a Water Gun at the Kadabra. At this point, Matt had woken up as well. He used Light Screen, forming a protective barrier around them. Josh hoped that Hex and Terra would wake up soon. This would be over a whole lot faster with them helping."

You... uh... seem kinda spooked about it. I'm sure we can handle it, we handled that big conkeldurr,"" I say, and Samuel says ""Well, who knows? It could be a mission with someone even bigger than him, maybe. Like a... a legendary!"" and I shake my head. ""No way a legendary mission would be posted on the mission board,"" I say, looking at Samuel. ""Well, I guess we don't have to do that one. How about this one?"" I ask, still suspicious of Bonnie. I grab a level C mission and those mightyenas that said the outlaw board was theirs nip at me. ""Ouch! Hey, you can't do that!"" I say, kicking one of them in the jaw. They all rise and I abruptly turn invisible and zoom up the ladder, and down into town. I take a look at the mission, and it was, guess who, a scrafty. The mission was handed in by... you guessed it, a kirlia. I continue reading about it and wait outside the Kecleon Stall for my group."

Hex's eyes slowly opened, hearing the sound of battling. Her vision felt blurry, and the sounds and commotion around her seemed to be far away. Her vision splintered and blurred, focusing on some very minimal parts. A flash of bright, yellow fur. A hard, grey surface. A white, almost translucent chunk of slime. She blinked her eyes a couple more times, each time getting clearer and clearer, until eventually the full force of the battle dawned on her. She let out a hazy, bitter-tasting breath.<br/><br/>A Kadabra was battling Anthony, Josh, Matt, and Daniel. For some reason, a Pichu also seemed to be in the battle, despite not contributing and mostly trying to hide behind someone. She slowly raised herself, leaning the blunt of her weight against the engraved stone wall. Her satchel felt heavy and she still felt drowsy from the sudden awakening, but she supposed she might as well help. Hex began beating her wings, slowly gaining in speed and strength, until a strong began forming under them. Her gusts had certainly become stronger since she had begun.<br/><br/>Hex let loose the gust upon the Kadabra, releasing it with it's full force. The Kadabra was visibly pushed backward, but no tripping over itself, which she was hoping for. She began another wave, feeling the wind compressing and tightening to form a good gust. She doubted that they would lose, and she even more highly doubted that the Kadabra would survive, with Daniel as an ally. He could probably take on the Kadabra alone, even with general ease.<br/><br/>Hex released a short series of small, strong gusts. She found that she was beginning to actually get control of her moves now, far more than the simple fanning that she did before."

We couldn't just keep wearing ourselves out like this, else we'd all end up like Celes, or, most likely, worse. ""Yeah... I think a break would be best. We've been doing nothing but fight in ridiculous, one-sided fights where we're usually grossly outmatched... yeah, we could use a break,"" I say to the team. Celes mumbled something, and I asked the nurse for an oran berry, which she was happy to supply. I place the berry near Celes, thinking that she'd have enough energy to at least eat the thing. If not energy, then maybe some motivation, after all, she had to be hungry by now, with how she skipped dinner and everything. ""Come on, Celes, if you think you can get up, then we're heading out into the town. We'll wait for you at the shop, or something... er... that is, if you think you can get up,"" I also kinda wanted to stay by the beach, but, I figured that the shop would work more as some sort of Celes magnet... if there was one thing she liked, it was shopping... well, that and the spicy soup, which I also liked. I sigh in relief from not having to go somewhere, and fight someone, today, and just head out of the guild, without a mission or a plan to go anywhere hostile for the first time in what seems like months. I then recall that first day, that first mission that I took... I was so excited to finally be out on an adventure, and had already grown bored of the non-events that tended to happen around Allure and Treasure Town, and now here I was, with the opposite mindset. I suppose physical damage and exertion can do that to someone.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I look back and watch as my friends wake up one by one to help out against the kadabra. Hex used gust almost too many times, and Josh sprayed the thing with water, causing the kadabra to stumble a bit, and ask me ""Do you even know? Anthony... why are you protecting him?"" That was weird. I have never met that kadabra before in my life, let alone one who would attack an innocent pichu. ""Hey, guy, answer me this... if I was someone that you knew, apparently on good enough terms for you to use my first name, why did you attack me?"" I ask him, with the kadabra not answering, he tried to surprise me with another psywave, though, as per usual, Daniel blocked it, but this time, he added his own question ""Who the heck are you? Anthony, do you know this nut?"" I shook my, well, I guess it could be considered my head, and attacked the kadabra with tackle, making him hit a wall in the process. ""You... are not Anthony... at least... not the one I remember,"" the kadabra said with some obvious difficulty. I still had no idea what he was talking about, and almost out of nowhere, an egg that looked just like the one Blaze was in was thrown at the kadabra from... somewhere... ""Hey, nerd, BE QUIET! I'm trying to sleep!"" I hear Terra's voice shout from the behind me. Her eyes were red, either from anger, annoyance, or being woken up too early, and none of those possibilities were desirable. The kadabra, obviously provoked by Terra's attack, launched a shadow ball in her direction. Terra just stood there, taking the attack, and, in response, she ran up to the kadabra and bit him... this, apparently, was too much for the usually frail psychic-type to handle, and he passed out right then and there. Terra picked up the egg that apparently used to be Blaze, and put it back in her bag... without Blaze, who's going to calm Terra down when she has one of her famous anger explosions? This day was already heading downhill.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Dang it, William!"" I shout as William goes invisible to escape the mightyena, and run off with an outlaw-based mission, leaving me to deal with them, well, me and Samuel, but he's been a little... out of it for some reason, lately. All three of them try to attack me, but, I jump out of the way, and onto their heads... not doing any damage, but simply as a way to try to make sure that they don't actually attack. I try to head for the ladder, however, one of them ran over to block it, and made it there before I could. The other two were looking at me as if I was some sort of criminal, and they looked as though they wanted to kill me. Thankfully, before they could actually attack again, Wally came up the ladder, and broke up the fight with ""Why are my friends fighting? Friends shouldn't fight,"" the duo of mightyena that weren't blocking the exit answered with ""They took a mission off of the outlaw board, and that board's OURS!"" Wally answered with ""No... the board's for everyone. There's no need to fight over missions... is this the reason why my guild hasn't been bringing in outlaws lately?"" The two look at each other, and quickly say ""Um, no. Uh, you see, they're just bad at that, okay? Um... yeah... that's the reason,"" one of them chuckles, but Wally wasn't amused. ""You three... either let everyone use the outlaw board, or you're going to be kicked out of the guild, and I'm sure that'll look bad when you try to make your own, join a different guild, or try to get a job,"" he said it calmly, but I could tell it was a threat, and not an empty one... to me, it sounded as if these jerks always caused trouble whenever they weren't out on a mission, and this might have been the final straw for Wally, 'cause he didn't act or sound as happy, playful, and downright weird as he usually did."

She sighed a bit in relief, feeling better about having some time off now. It felt like it been so long that she had not relaxed. After Spruce said that he would go to the shops. She took a bit of time to get up, and eat the oran berry. She then breath deeply before going and leaving the guild, not noticing that a certain Jolteon saw her, and stared. She walked out and moved toward the shop area, the jolteon fallowing, staring a bit at Celes, trying to figure out if it was really her. Celes was thinking at the moment... Spruce had stayed with her all this time.... he had taken care that nothing happened to her.... he had defended her when it was needed. When she told him to stay back in the fight, he threw himself in front to take hits.... He had done everything he could for her... She felt... as if there was more then just him being a team leader... It felt as if.... as if he loved her. And did she love him? She had taken hits for him, tried the most that she could to protect him, taking a secret identity to take care that nothing would happen to him. It was much more then the job of a team mate that she was doing.... Indeed.... it had been.... love.... She moved forwards, going to the shop area, feeling better, her heart beating right now. The jolteon looked at her from a distance. He was pretty sure it was Celes, but she was a guild member like him now... That would explain why she did not come back home. She wanted adventure, even if she was not evolved. He stared at her as she moved towards Spruce. She breath deeply, and gets next to Spruce.<br/>""Spruce.... I .... I wanted to thank you for staying with me all night.... I saw that you stayed near where I was resting. I.... also wanted to thank you for taking all those hits for me. I... I just don;t know what to say..... It feels as if we are more then just simple team mates.... More then just friends... I... I...."" she says, before blushing, and then... it came.... She moved forwards, turned her head and.... kissed Spruce on the mouth. Just then, the jolteon fell down from surprise, his whole body having gotten a shock from that, ironic for a electric type. Celes.... had just kissed that Snivy.... That might explain a bit why she was not wanting to come back also. She was in love! He stared, eyes blank and mouth open, not moving."

The nurse looked away from me, obviously rather disturbed. I felt really down lately, and this wasn't who I was. But, it wasn't like I could expect anyone else to give a damn in this world. When everyone left, I came out last, the odd jingle of orbiting Pokes settling down... I just felt like running away, throwing everything out the windows or even just cause an explosion. But, I really didn't anything to be mad at. Sure enough, Davis would be a good enough candidate for exploiting me. Years of companionship thrown away as if I was better off dead and lonely. Apparently a 'clone' meant I had no pain, emotions... all that other shit.<br/><br/>The only hope I had was Spruce's team. I had nowhere to go. First the community tries to kill me, then Davis abandons me... and I already have a world-dominating villain to fight. Within three days. That, and I was horribly scarred and injured. Despite this, a good break could settle the mood for the next week or so. ""Come on, let's go then. I hope shopping cheers everyone up."" I had a fair bit of experience with shopping, buying a few potted plants and some berries for myself. The plants kinda just sat there while the berries were mashed in my eye, but otherwise I was alright when it came to buying things. ""Well, even me.""<br/><br/>If only. As soon as we all went outside, everyone had already lost it's tone and harmony. Everything just seemed... boring and dull. Even bright colours and contrasting objects didn't help. I just stared at it all, catching up with my friends as they went shopping for the day. Kamina had followed us after shouting for our locations, while I was floating by a tree. Then, love was in the air as Celes decided to finally make her move to Spruce, while Kamina was breaking into tears and several Pokemon glanced at the pair. I, though also happy, couldn't really express myself. I simply stared as I reminisced about my own life, figuring if I really had a meaning I wouldn't have been created. ""Congratulations."" That was all I said. I couldn't add more. Everything was lost in my memories. Even Celes' act of love couldn't break my sorrow."

Not to say that he didn't try, but he fainted quickly with the whole team, including Terra and Daniel. Before fainting. He managed to grunt out some short sentences, mainly about Anthony. It would seem that he knew Anthony, but the Goomy had seemingly no idea who the Kadabra was. Maybe Anthony had hit his head a couple more times than he should have without his helment on. Or maybe the Kadabra was the one going crazy.<br/><br/>Either way, the Kadabra fell in a frail heap on the ground. They weren't exactly known for their physical prowess, more known for their mental power. With a dark type, however, he would be completely powerless. ""Yeah, she's pretty terrifying."" She whispered, watching Terra. She seemed to be absolutely furious, to the point were her eyes seemed to actually be red. Blaze seemed to have turned back into an egg, so along with him went their chance of calming her down.<br/><br/>This mission really had spiraled out of control. Originally, it was just a quick investigation of the ravine, and perhaps a quick battle, and then they would head back to the guild to get a new mission. But they had went from the ravine to meeting one of the old members of the best exploration team out there, and then going to a completely new and different city, and then beginning the climb up Mt. Dragoncoil, and meeting all of Josh's friends. It had really gone crazy.<br/><br/>""So, I suppose we'll have to do something with Blaze up here, right?"" Hex asked, looking at Terra. ""Figure out a way to prevent him from constantly turning into an egg?"" She blinked the sleep from her eyes, trying to get herself awake. She still felt drowsy from all that exploring they had been doing. This mission had lasted what, three days? She thought it was three days, at least. She wondered how many missions had been completed since they had left. Maybe that team they did the beach cave mission with had beaten some super evil villain, and were throwing a party to celebrate."

It's from that Kirlia that was with the Scrafty,"" I say, and I show Samuel the mission.

I was stunned by the act (but, of course, didn't reject her or anything), and was nearly unable to stand up for a while. ""I.. uh... um...thanks..."" I mumble as I try to form words. I wasn't really used to this kind of thing yet, being more used to other pokemon simply asking me if I knew where Vine was, and then walking away angrily when I told them I had no idea. Sure, to everyone else this kind of thing seemed obvious from a mile away, but a running joke with my family was the fact that they were always 'more oblivious to love than a bidoof'... well, until something like this happened, anyways. M and Kamina seemed to have found their way to us, and thank goodness too, I was starting to worry about Kamina. I walk over to the... er... crying fish and exclaim ""Kamina!"" as if to change the subject, I then add ""So, how's it been? I haven't seen you in a while,"" of course, I did like her... I just didn't know what to say next... that is, until I found Kamina. I just hoped that Celes wouldn't think that this was cold of me to do, but, really, what was I supposed to say at this point? I then looked back at Celes, who seemed to look more... well... attractive than she used to, for some reason. M was also nearby, congratulating Celes and I for the kiss, I guess... which seemed odd to me, but, then again, M was odd.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Thanks Wally,"" I say to Wally before he leaves, with the Mightyena moving out of my way so I can head back to my team... before I do, however, I notice one odd, pink dratini who was also fighting for my side, albeit late. ""What's your name, little guy?"" I ask the small snake, later adding ""I'm Bonnie, newest member of Team Green,"" I then waited for the dratini to introduce him...? Her...? itself? The color of the dratini kinda threw me off, and the voice wasn't doing much to convince me either way. Of course, no matter which gender he or she was, I was certain that this dratini would make a good team member... especially with most of the team being normal types, and the fact that he or she would evolve into a flying type, which resists fighting type moves... of course, were a fighting type to learn a decent rock type move, as well as a good fighting type move, we'd all be done for... of course, we'd probably find some way around that. We'd find some way to overcome our weakness... I mean, we did that last time with the conkeldurr, right? I was going to return to my team, but this new guy or girl was more important to me at this moment... and even though I could tell the mightyena were starting to get irritated with me staying here and not leaving, I couldn't leave until I got the identity of this newcomer.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Matt decided that we should stay here, but something told me that Terra wouldn't take too well to that. He then asked me if I knew that kadabra, and I answer ""No... I have no clue who that is. I don't think I've met anyone like him before in my life. The things he said confused me as much as I'm sure they confused you,"" I then start to move, but notice Terra somehow fell asleep again. Just as well, as the pichu seemed to have something to say ""I can't thank you enough for saving me... you see, that kadabra, he, well, he wanted to use me to guide him to the four orbs of balance so that he could destroy them... of course, with a name like that, I don't have to tell you that destroying the orbs is a bad thing, right?"" He then goes on to introduce himself ""I'm Static, the last in a line of pokemon who protect, or in my case, are a map to these orbs... the fact that I exist means that something horrible's happening to them,"" he just kind of dumped a lot of information on us, and really created more questions than he answered. Whatever he was talking about, I was certain that it would come into play sooner or later... perhaps sooner, but, it didn't seem like we were going to be able to ditch Terra on this mission. I then, still confused, walked over to the edge of the mountain, and see a town in the distance... though, for some reason, it seemed to flicker in and out of existence. I could almost see a victini or two in the town, but with how far up we were, they really could have been anything... maybe that was our next destination."

It was clear that Static was trying to explain everything to them, but he would have to explain a bit more. At this point, none of what he said really made sense.<br/>Anthony was looking at something in the distance. As Matt and Josh went over to see what it was, they saw a town of some sort. It was strange how it seemed to blink out of existence every once in a while, but it was hard to tell because they were so high up.<br/>""I do believe that's where we're headed."" Matt said.<br/>""Good."" Josh said. ""Doesn't look too far. We could probably get there by the end of the day and get this mission over with.""<br/>He looked over at Terra, who was still asleep. He wasn't sure if they should wake her up and risk getting the egg thrown at them, or let her sleep and risk getting yelled at for not waking her up earlier.

Hex said, watching the Pichu ramble on. He seemed surprisingly energetic for such a small creature. ""Orbs of Balance?"" She frowned, trying to think of anything that could've been the orbs of balance. Over the years, she got countless lessons about pokemon history, from the various accounts of veteran adventurers. She could list off most popular, old pokemon teams and how some had even defeated world busters. But she drew nothing about whatever the orbs were.<br/><br/>Hex looked off in the distance, following the gazes of Anthony, Josh, and Matt. A thick haze of clouds bunched up around the bottom of the mountain, stretching far out. Stone jut put in jagged, angular protrusions. A town seemed to flicker in and out in the far distance. Around the town, she saw two small, glowing orange figures. The town seemed to disappear and reappear very quickly, like it was fading out of existence. She quickly shrugged it off as a hallucination, perhaps from the Psy-Waves of the Kadabra.<br/><br/>Apparently, that town was their next destination, so that they could apparently start to regather all of the orbs of balance.. or whatever. She frowned, watching as it flickered out and back in again. Hopefully she could hold her mind together long enough to go there.. the Psy-Waves seemed to be really messing with her, or she was just starting to go crazy. Might've been fatigue.. she shook her head out of it, getting back to reality. She felt like she was drifting in and out of her thoughts, like the town.<br/><br/>Hex watched as Josh decided that he'd be waking up Terra. The moment he shot a blast of water into her face, she knew he had made a mistake, and immediately backed away. Hopefully Terra didn't freak out on the rest of them. Terra, more or less, seemed to have a bit of an anger problem. It might've stemmed form the fact that every dragon type in Scale City appeared to bow down to her, or the fact that she was raised under one of the best, strongest teams of the guild."

Celes and Spruce together and a strengthening of bonds could defeat anything. Kamina's enthusiasm even sounded morale-boosting. I felt like I belonged again...<br/><br/>For a brief second. I stuck to my head, where everything I knew was bitter and sad within one day. It was as if someone had returned from some amazing party, realising at the end of the day he still has nowhere to live. My fake smile hid my true emotions, how I would eventually snap one day and unfortunately lash out at my friends... it was inevitable that my frustrations would grow to breaking point.<br/><br/>It certainly didn't mean I couldn't try to raise the bar. I'd reach the point where I would have a breakdown, but I could always try to keep the bar as high as possible. For the sake of my current friends.<br/><br/>""Well... let's get going.

I finally snapped out of my daze, and ask ""So... Celes, is there anything you'd like from the store?"" I then check my bag to see if I have any money, only to remember that all of our team's money is flying around M... I have no clue how I keep forgetting that little detail about him, mainly because it wasn't such a small detail at all, but a very large detail. I head over to Ed, the head that sells TMs, and nearly get bitten. I didn't even say anything, and the guy's already attacking me. ""What's your problem!?"" I ask Ed, who answers ""You're from Arnold's right? Well, there you go, there's my problem,"" not wanting to get attacked a second time, I add ""I... guess we won't be getting any TMs this time around..."" I then head over to Bob, who sells more common items, such as berries and seeds. Sure, they weren't as flashy as TMs, but, it was pretty much all that I could get without the threat of a bite. ""Um... so, what do you have in stock, Bob?"" I then ask, inching away from Ed as the body turns so Bob can take a look at his inventory. He then shows me one of each of the items that he has on sale right now, including a reviver seed, a stun seed, and an oran berry... hm... any one of these could come in handy during the inevitable tough fight once we start exploring again.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Oh, right, you don't know what those are, yet..."" Static says, later adding ""Right! Well, one decent explanation would be that they're orbs, I mean, you probably already know that, but they also control the power of these things called 'sub-types'... everyone has one of them, and it looks like almost all of us here have the 'normal' sub-type, but there's also the 'void' sub-type, the 'light' sub-type, and last but certainly not least, the 'shadow' sub-type, like your bird friend over there. Anyways, each orb has a guardian of that sub-type, and they're SUPPOSED to make sure that the orbs don't get broken, depowered, or some other bad thing... my family has always been kind of a guardian, but we don't guard an orb... no, we have something somewhat more important, the map. Whenever something bad's happening to the orbs, someone in my family, in this case, me, has their powers manifest, as in, we can suddenly tell where all of the orbs are, and what needs to be done to save the world,"" that explanation took way too long, and I would have stopped Josh from spraying Terra with water, however, I listened to Static's whole speech, instead. Terra woke up angry, just like I expected her to, but, before she could shout anything, I say ""Look, I can see the village! Um... that's good, right?"" Terra then joins me on the ledge, and looks out towards the area, saying ""Yeah... just don't wake me up like that again, okay?"" I nod, and look over to Josh before adding ""So... let's continue onwards, right?""

Celes' brother didn't seem to notice everyone around here, while I was busy thinking of scenarios involving my magnets and that bias shop keeper. Spruce went off to buy different supplies and Celes decided to try her luck with the shop keeper, somehow turning his bias into success. Kamina was probably still celebrating love. The sun was up high on a slight angle, and the weather seemed optimal for a little picnic outside.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, getting sick and tired, I decided to go slightly further ahead than anyone else. There was got to be something better to do in Allure Town, other than buying equipment and food. I thought about my Pokes for a second, trying to figure out a way in which my Pokes wouldn't get stolen. There was strange building up ahead, with Pokemon going in with sacks then leaving without anything in their hands.<br/><br/>After navigating some rather still Pokemon, I managed to enter the dark building lit by blue flames. Surprisingly, it was quite bright despite the light being blue. I could then tell this place was a bank... yes, there was a sign outside, but I couldn't see very well thanks to spilling hot chilli into my eye. Hopefully a berry or two would help my vision considerably. Anyway, there were numerous Pokemon around, most of them handling several bags of Pokes and also being some sort of candle Pokemon. Surprisingly, no bags were burnt, at least currently - there were some ashes scattered around the floors.<br/><br/>I will admit I shuddered slightly as a Pokemon approached me from the side. By the looks of things, she was the boss - the biggest Chandelure around. That, and she was made out of platinum. Made me feel a bit jealous, if not envious of her. ""Hello."" She said, as if recently deceased. ""My name is Candace. Can I help you?"" Candace had some sort of creepy hiss to her words. As unplanned as this was (seriously, this whole paragraph was improvised), I began to feel a different emotion... did I just experience what Spruce experienced?<br/><br/>""Uh, er... well, as you can see, I'm supporting a ring of Pokes around me, possibly defying physics..."" She simply stared, while I looked around nervously and scratching my eye with my hand. She still stared, hovering in the air at the same height. ""Yeah, I'd like to deposit about half my ring into an account. Preferably under the name 'Yixin.'"" I didn't know why that name came up in my head, and pronounced it in a strange way.

I couldn't decide between the necessary oran berries and reviver seeds, or the flashy and helpful TMs and HMs. We didn't have much in the way of money, either, so that only helped complicate things. I then noticed a sentence in smaller text on the bottom of the sign saying 'Let me and this girl have some private time, or you're lunch!'...that wasn't good, this sentence also looked as though it was clawed into the sign rather than painted onto it. I quickly show Celes the sign, and point out the last sentence on it, and finally make my decision. ""I... think I'll just take that reviver seed..."" I say as I inch towards Bob, and trade the money that I had at the time for one reviver seed. I then whisper to Celes ""We should probably get out of here,"" I would have fought Ed if I didn't know he was much stronger than I was at this time... and he also had resistances to almost all of our attacks, that is, even assuming M will join us again.

Besides, this was supposed to be a break, and it really wouldn't be much of a break if we ended up fighting something that could easily take all of us down in a fight... you know... like the first time we ever adventured as a full party... when we encountered Desia, and she completely destroyed all of us without so much as breaking a sweat.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I try and fail to hold in my laughter, and eventually say ""Well, we can certainly use someone with your attitude on this team.

After handing Tini the badge, I decide to join the rest of the group, making sure that Tini followed me there, as well. Once I caught up to them, I looked back, and made sure Tini was with me. ""William, Samuel, I'd like you both to welcome our newest member... Tini!"" I say to the rest of the team, gesturing towards the pink dratini, who seemed to have a smile simply painted onto his/her face, and who seemed to have an odd smell about him/her, which made the gender thing even more confusing until he/she finally told me what gender he/she was. The two seemed to be holding onto that same outlaw mission that almost got Tini and I KO'd, and it even looks as though Samuel barely made it out of there.<i>Dang it, William... between your disappearing act and Samuel's 'burn all the things!' strategy, you're going to be the end of me...</i>I think as I recall the incident that was started by William taking that mission and then ditching the rest of the team, leaving us to deal with the crazed mightyena.

And apparently, they held an important role in the world or whatever, and that they were controlled by orbs that were guarded by a certain family.<br/><br/>""I, uh.. yeah, we can do that."" Hex said, still unsure of what this Pichu was rambling about. Maybe he was crazy, like that Scyther she had seen outside the hive once. Some grey Scyther had just come in, screaming, chopping up all of the forest green before he was detained and thrown out by the guards. Maybe he was just crazy, and after provoking a Kadabra, ran away and made up some story do that he could push them all off the cave. Probably not. She was getting paranoid from all this adventuring.<br/><br/>""So, off to the village then."" Hex said, and began to follow the team. She could probably just really easily flutter off down the mountainside, but she had to be careful. There were harsh winds on the mountain, and one sharp gust could easily send her flying into the rocks. Plus, she felt more comfortable traveling alongside the team. At least if they got ambushed by wild pokemon, the entire team could fight them off, or at least all faint together. Hex glanced off back at the flickering village.<br/><br/>According to the Pichu, the Orbs of Balance were guarded to ensure that no one would try to break them or de power them, so they must've been pretty important. She assumed that flickering town over there was probably a result of a broken or de powered Orb of Balance. She wondered who'd want to break something that was seemingly so important to the balance of the world. Maybe some crazy old villain was trying to create some anarchy. That'd be fun to fight."

After digging around in my bag for a bit, and apparently not finding anything, he continues, adding ""Void pokemon are usually a grey or a purple color... they're kinda weird 'cause they're immune to shadow attacks, and have attacks that basically ignore type matchups. Light pokemon, on the other hand, might look completely normal until they start using light moves, after which, they might become a sort of faded, or lighter color compared to a normal pokemon of their species,"" by the time Static finished his little speech, we were already on the other side of the mountain, and Terra, said ""UGH, finally.

""I kind of want to get this mission done as soon as possible so we can go back home.""<br/>Terra seemed to be calming down a little now that Blaze was back in the egg. Usually he was the one who calmed her down, so this was a little odd. Now that Josh really thought about it, she didn't really get angry when they were back at Crater's house, either. She must have been in a rush to get Blaze here before he became an egg again. That was the only explanation Josh could think of."

She always enjoyed some new information. Apparently, everyone had sub-types, which was interesting. She might've known some pokemon that had them, considering his description of the types. After his brief description, Static told Daniel to attack Anthony, to demonstrate how shadow types had effectiveness over normal types. The small Murkrow came rushing forward, wings spread out flat, and butted into him.<br/><br/>Anthony's gel body seemed to contort from the attack, and it was evident that it did a lot of damage. Anthony audibly yelped from it, wincing from the pain, and his body seemed to kind of lose it's consistency and become more liquidized. Good thing Daniel was on their side, or he probably could've swept the floor with most of them. After quickly eating an Oran Berry, Anthony regained his composure and looked spry and ready to attack again.<br/><br/>As they continued down the mountainside, she thought about the hive. She had been gone for a while now, and apart from that one time they had come to the guild to interrogate Arnold, she hadn't seen another one yet. It might've been from all this time they were spending on this one mission. She wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a squadron of Beedrill waiting in the guild bedroom to pick her up and bring her home to get yelled at and grounded. Would be fun.<br/><br/>At least Terra seemed to be less angry, and more annoyed. They all seemed a bit worn and tired and annoyed from the long journey, but Terra still seemed to still have energy to go along with her annoyances. Hex almost let out a sigh of relief thinking of the next town to be their last stop. Finally, they'd be able to get this mission over with and complete a new one. She was originally hoping that their last stop would be the mountaintop, but the town seemed close, so she supposed that they could travel just a little bit further to finally get to their destination."

I wave, and say ""Hello!"" and look at Bonnie. She seemed to be staring at my with fiery eyes, and I shift a little bit away, and say ""Uh... what's wrong?"" and Samuel coughs. ""Oh, yeah... um... sorry,"" I say, looking down at the ground awkwardly. ""Uh... so, welcome to the team, ma'am,"" I say, looking at 'Tini'. I smile, and Samuel gives Bonnie the mission. ""How did you guys make it out of that mess?"" I ask, scratching the back of my head. I also was blushing from the embarrassment of ditching the team and then getting caught. I sit down, my vision getting blurry for a second, and I rub my eyes. ""Must not be getting enough sleep, I guess,"" I say, yawning."

I do, however, notice M head out of the bank, with far fewer pokecoins floating around him. Celes then says something about the shopkeeper getting a 'spooky experience'... which was weird... I decide to ignore that, and eventually make it over to the beach, where a few wild, yet somehow not hostile krabby can be seen... they weren't doing anything, as apparently, they only use bubble during sunset or some stupid thing, but the view was still nice, and the beach itself was calming. I then recall that time I ran through Beach Cave five or six or however many times just to find someone who wasn't there, and wasn't in need of any help.<i>I wonder... is that maybe the reason why these pokemon aren't attacking us? 'Cause they're afraid of me now? Odd...</i>I think as I look out towards the ocean... sure, we just came from there, but this time, we won't get attacked from every possible angle. There seemed to be a weird, blue rock in the waves, and coming closer to the shore for some reason... the only way I could see it was the giant red dot in the middle of the rock, which was accompanied by a 'halo' of yellow dots just above that... what a weird rock, but, wouldn't a rock sink?<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Oh... right, sorry, I forgot to answer your question, um..."" Static starts to say, with me finishing with ""Josh... he's Josh, I'm Anthony, and she's Hex. The pokemon holding Josh's bucket is Matt... he's just kinda here for support,"" Static then says ""Right, well, anyways, should anyone break one of the Orbs of Balance, all pokemon with that sub-type will weaken and eventually wither until they are nothing but lifeless husks... it's... not a pretty sight,"" something told me he wasn't telling us the whole story, but, nonetheless, by the end of that short description, we somehow found our way into the village... a village where every single pokemon was the same species... a victini, just like Blaze. ""Welcome, travelers!"" One of the two victini right next to the entrance shouts at our group, surprising me with just the volume at which he said that. Terra then, still sounding annoyed, says ""Look, don't give us any shtick, we're here for one reason, and one reason ONLY. See this egg? Well, for some weird reason, he keeps hatching and unhatching, and I figured someone over at Victory Village would know what to do,"" the other victini then mumbles ""We had a whole bit planned out, though..."" the first one then says ""Fine... we'll take you to the elder... you're no fun at all,"" they then lead us over to one of the many oddly lookalike houses in this area, and inside, was... well, he certainly looked the part of 'elder', given that his fur was mostly white, some of it covered his eyes, and somehow he grew what I think used to be referred to as a 'beard'... ""GAH! Get that horrible thing OUT of here!"" The elder shouts pretty much as soon as we enter his house... well, seems like someone doesn't have a lot of good manners for an elder. None of us move, of course, with none of us having any idea what he was talking about, until he added ""That horrible, shadowy creature... IT has no place here!"" This got on Terra's nerves, somehow, though, I doubt it was because of the prejudice against Daniel, but more so that he was stalling. She ended up shouting ""'IT' has as much a right to be here as YOU do, you old fool! Besides, don't you want to help a poor victini, one from YOUR village, unless I'm mistaken, recover from his rare, and crippling condition!? I'm sure that, just because he happened to make friends with this, as you call him, 'horrible, shadowy creature', you'll let him DIE from, well, staying as an egg for too long, and becoming ROTTEN! Some leader YOU are, huh? Just letting the young of your village, who happened to have a horrible condition ROT AND DIE from it instead of helping them when they NEED HELP!? All because, what, some pokemon that happens to be a shadow pokemon helped him out when you just tossed him out of the village without so much as a PROPER EXPLANATION AS TO WHY!?"" Wow... I've never seen her explode quite like that, but, oddly enough, in her anger, she seemed to bring up at least a few good points. The elder seemed absolutely shocked at Terra's famous among our team temper, and just stood there, with his mouth and eyes (that is, if you could tell) wide open... heck, he almost looked as though he was killed from her fit... that can't be true, though, right?<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""By the way, Tini's a boy,"" I correct William, calming down somewhat, and adding ""Well, we might as well be off on our next mission, right? I mean, whatever outlaw you ditched your team over has got to be worth it,"" sure, it might have been another jab at William, but you can't just go invisible to ditch your teammates, no matter how new they might be... I mean, if I didn't trust William, I'd think that he was trying to kill me... but, of course, he was still our leader, I guess, by default. William then asks how we got out of the mess, and I quickly explain ""I dodged a couple of their attacks, and then Wally came in to stop them from hurting us... they shouldn't give us any trouble anymore,"" I then take my place somewhere near the back of the group, and wonder what kind of mission William almost killed us over. Sure, I guess the mightyena shouldn't have had ownership of one of the two boards, but it's not like we had to get into a fight to get them to stop, we could have just told Wally about that, but, no, William had to provoke them into attacking us... I then spot Spruce out in the distance, walking away from the shopkeeper, and towards the beach, for some reason. He was with that eevee girl that knocked me out a few days ago in some sort of blind fury, so maybe those two were a thing... which just meant that I was someone intruding on their relationship, or whatever... of course, that doesn't give her an excuse to lash out on me like she did."

She breath deeply, relaxing, before sitting down. No one was attacking them... so it felt really good to be able to relax now. As she looked at the waves, she saw the strange rock floating. She stared at it for a long time.<br/>""What the heck is that?"" she asks, before getting up. She then actually drops her back and then gets in the water, looking down under the waves to see if anything was holding the thing. Nothing.... it did not seem like a trap. She started to swim to it, before getting to it and then pushing it towards the shore. When she got on the sandy beach, she shook her fur a bit before looking at the strange rock.<br/>""What is this.... it... does not seem like a rock... its much lighter then a rock.. and it;s shape...."" she says, looking at it. She felt strange about it... like it was really different then anything.they ever seen before.<br/>""Anyone got any idea what it could be?"" she asks, confused by the thing."

Whoever was trying to destroy the orbs had to be stopped before they kill innocent Pokemon. He could take care of Zane later. This was much more serious.<br/>""I don't understand why anyone would want to destroy them."" Josh said. ""Whoever it is, I'll do whatever it takes to stop them. You can count on me.""<br/><br/>At that point, they had reached the village. It was a strange place, to say the least. Every house looked almost exactly the same, to the point where Josh wondered how they could find their way around without getting lost. As they entered what appeared to be the elder's house, a rather old Victini started shouting at them.<br/>""GAH! Get that horrible thing OUT of here!""<br/>At first, Josh had no idea what the elder was talking about, but then he made himself more clear.<br/>""That horrible, shadowy creature... IT has no place here!""<br/>At this point, it was obvious that he was talking about Daniel.<br/><br/>Terra then entered a fit of rage that made a lot of people, Josh included, stare wide-eyed at her. He'd never seen her get this angry at anybody, and that was saying something. The elder seemed shocked by her outburst, and just stood there in silence.<br/>""Wow."" Josh said.

Hm."" That didn't seem good, at all. If someone happened to find even one of them, it could kill countless pokemon by simply breaking it. That was on top of their priority list, without a doubt. Maybe next came Zane, and then that Kadabra that recognized Anthony. Hopefully her hive wouldn't do anything dumb enough to get onto their priority list, but knowing how sheerly stupid some of her people were, she wouldn't be surprised if they managed to end up accidentally staring an apocalypse or something.<br/><br/>After a short while of waking, and surprisingly no wild-life encounters, the team finally arrived at the town. The base of the town was made up of mostly, plain, shoddy houses, similar to the architecture of Allure Town. There was one key difference, however: the town seemed to be completely inhabited by Victini. Countless cream furred little legendaries were walking around, with the bright orange v symbol on their foreheads, and large blue eyes.<br/><br/>It was amazing how many Victini there were. She'd only seen one before, and that was Blaze. Of course, she'd seen some very awful sketches, considering that Combee didn't have hands, but they were right in front of them, real. Several orange embers flickered around one, fading in and out of existence. Terra seemed unamused. She was stomping right forward, and Hex could only wish that Arceus had mercy on the ones that got in her way.<br/><br/>The Victini standing guard quickly lead Terra to the elder of Victory Village, clearly intimidated by her. While Terra wasn't the best battling companion, maybe, she was handy to have around. When she gave the word, everyone around her would probably bow. After they entered the odd, plain house, just like all of the rest in Victory Village, they encountered a small, shaggy old Victini. A long white growth hung from it's chin, but it didn't 't seem to much of a wise elder. It quickly yelled at Daniel, insulting him and telling him to get out.<br/><br/>Terra released probably the most rage Hex'd seen her do so far. The Elder seemed to be almost shocked from the brutal yelling that Terra released on him. ""Wow."" Josh murmured. Hex hadn't even seen her mother that angry, and her mother sometimes got angry enough to have people executed. Well, maybe Terra wasn't that angry."

""Well, let's head off, then,"" I say, walking in the direction of Birchwood Forest. I hadn't looked at my map in a while, but might as well go towards the place that I knew well-ish. I continue walking, and then wait for the rest of the team. Samuel catches up, and places a hand on my shoulder and spins me in the direction of the actual dungeon we were going to. ""It's... that way..."" he sputters, gasping for air as it took him a while just to catch up to me with him running. I say ""Oh! Yeah, that way.

Eventually, he turns back around, and says ""We... well... look, the only way to cure your victini friend is the Victory Gem,"" Terra, interestingly enough, didn't seem too angered by this, and simply asked ""So... where is it?"" The elder hesitated, once more, and sheepishly replied ""I lost it,"" this might just be it, the big one, the final final straw, the one that broke the camerupt's back just after the thing healed itself back up. I could almost tell that someone, miles away, could hear what Terra was about to say. ""You... WHAT!? How in the flying F*** did you even become an elder while also being so D*** INCOMPETENT as to LOSE an important item that could cure a DEADLY DISEASE that JUST SO HAPPENS to be capable of infecting your F***ING species!? I mean, if YOU'RE supposed to be the wise one, I'd HATE to see what the rest of you INBRED, RACIST MORONS are like!..."" I kinda tuned out after that, well, either that, of I've gone deaf, but Terra's berating, and above all, loud speech went on for a full hour before she asked ""...and where the F*** did you even lose this 'oh so IMPORTANT' item, huh!?"" To which, the elder finally replied, his voice and body both visibly shaking ""...it might be in my basement, but, there's an evil monster that lives down there, one who has lived down there for generations,"" Terra then just mumbles ""I've had it with these jerks..."" and heads off to the basement, where I had pretty much no choice but to follow. Terra, at that point, seemed to be giving off as much heat as the average fire type, and if I wasn't worried about getting battered, bitten, and obliterated by her, I'd have said that I was worried about her blood pressure... sure, she didn't seem to have that type of problem coming in to this, but, this much stress and anger can do that to a pokemon.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>As I was following William who was following Samuel, I notice Tini stop for a second, and observe an odd magikarp, who seemed to notice him, and observe him in the exact same way... it was... strange, but Tini seemed to completely forget in favor of remembering that we were a team on a mission, as the next words out of his mouth, instead of something regarding the strangely, almost eerily alike magikarp, were ""Yay! We're going on an adventure!"" Tini's only been on the team for a few minutes, and already, he's proven himself just as strange as the others... myself included. As we continue to walk towards Birchwood Forest, I catch a glimpse of something absolutely terrifying... it was horrible, and it reminded me of my own father... sure, it was just a meowth at this point, but give the thing enough time, an it, too will grow into another hideous, vile creature just like my father. I figured that attacking someone in town wasn't the best idea, so I fled. Yes, I ran right past the group, screaming, and most likely confusing the meowth who seems to have stopped dead in its tracks just to see me run. I had to get away. I knew that I couldn't attack the thing in town, but it wouldn't have any problem possibly killing me right in front of everyone... and I wouldn't be able to fight back. After wasting almost all of my energy running, I make it to some strange forest... well, okay, it was probably just Birchwood Forest, but I had no idea where I was IN Birchwood Forest. Off to my right were some unrecognizable trees, and off to my left was a path that seemed to lead nowhere. Straight ahead, there was an oddish blocking my way. I manage to nearly one-shot the thing by using frustration on it... but... it was still there. The thing managed to get me to pass out with sleep powder. I tried to stay awake, but, to no avail... the powder was too strong, and I was already tired from all that running."

Full of pain, full of happiness... something like a rotten Sitrus Berry.

Davis for heroism and eternal sadness? I didn't have an answer by the time I managed to catch up with the others, avoiding the eye of the perverted shopkeeper while trying to solve a conundrum. Then, a third thought entered my head. I would side with my friends for heroism AND revenge.<br/><br/>Ridiculous. It would be a long road of pain and lost time. But, I would have to do something. Maybe kill Desia, then try to get back at Davis. It would take years and possibly a return from the dead, but hey, who's to say it wouldn't be worth it?<br/><br/>I still felt crushed and sad. Some aspects of the world had begun returning colour, but it didn't help too much. ""What are you guys gazing at?"" I asked, mid-way of getting to my teammates.

I quickly picked up the strange thing that Celes got from the waves, and ran off, seeing a wailord just about to hit land and possibly crush someone. ""CELES! Get out of there!"" I shout to Celes, hoping that she'd hear me... and of course, if she didn't, I was prepared to tackle her out of the way, and let the thing crush me, instead... wait, why would I do that, again? Hm... I mean, I knew I was going to do that if she didn't notice in time, but... why? Sure, she was a valuable teammate, but maybe there was something more than that which would make me sacrifice myself for her safety. Funny how this break might just end up killing someone, huh? I mean, that is, if Celes doesn't notice in time and doesn't have enough time to get away from the wailord that was still heading towards us, and about to beach itself.

Josh whispered about Terra probably losing her mind. Hex shrugged, not ready to take the risk of whispering back. Terra would probably grab her up and throw her out the window if she realized that they were talking about her behind her back. The elder talked about how he lost it. Apparently, a monster lived down in the basement, and he was too scared to go down there himself.<br/><br/>Terra just shrugged off his warnings and decided to go down there herself, forcing the team to follow her. Hex didn't suppose that the monster would do any good with Terra around them. Knowing Terra, if the monster snuck up and tried to eat them, she probably eat it first, so Hex was pretty confident with their chances. Hex continued forward, following down the basement steps after Terra, and hoping that the Elder wouldn't lock the door after them."

I thought about it for a moment as we continued through this dark basement, and eventually came up with the answer of ""Maybe they forgot about the monster, and dropped the gem as they ran away... but... that only brings up the question... why would forget about a horrible monster?"" Unfortunately, the 'answer' came up in the form of another question. As I continued to head forwards in the basement, I start to feel a chill... as if something evil is watching me. Daniel seemed rather quiet at this point, and was flying above me... I don't think it was him, though. I knew Daniel, and if he was quiet, it was most likely because of Terra, and her hour-long yelling marathon. I was kinda surprised that she didn't lose her voice from all that yelling, but, that wasn't important. What was important was that strange feeling... we continued forwards, and, looking at Daniel, I could confirm that I wasn't the only one feeling this, as I'd occasionally see him look behind us. Somehow, the basement grew even darker, and looking behind finally revealed a single blue eye from the shadows. ""Uh... Terra... I think I found the monster,"" I say to Terra, poking her shoulder in another effort to get her attention. She turns around, as angry as ever, and says ""Yeah, great, here I was thinking that those morons made this thing up, and now we have to fight it,"" she spoke calmly, but I can still tell she was mad. The thing, whatever it was, started off by trying to use hypnosis on me... thankfully, I managed to dodge the attack, and I tried to counter with absorb... but... I couldn't tell what it was, or where to aim, so, I ended up missing, completely. Daniel tried to use shadow rush, but had the same problem with not knowing where to aim his attack. He ended up flying right past the thing, causing Terra to try fairy wind, which seemed to hit the thing, and even damage it pretty well. ""Escape... I must... escape..."" I hear the thing say in a raspy voice that said it was either old, thirsty, tired, or all three. It was obviously a trick to get us to let our guard down, and I wasn't one to give in to tricks so easily, so I simply ignored the unknown monster's plea."

Get back!"" The large thing came unusually fast, forcing everyone off-shore while some unlucky Krabby's got squashed. Sure enough, their pincers annoyed the Wailord's belly, since he kept rolling around.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Celes had quickly skipped back while letting out an attack. It wasn't a good idea to attack the thing, but at the same time it was instinct. I myself had to move back quite a bit, not really a fan of water if anything. ""Okay, nobody mention HSOWA unless you want to get squashed."" I said to the others, turning my eye from the Wailord to my teammates and back. My Arceus, why the Hell was there a beached Wailord? Surely they're not dumb as whales. (Don't ask. I prefer to squash all memories of that Pokemon now.) I still floated backwards for a few seconds, unsure whether if the damn thing was hostile or just confused. Either way, I really didn't want to know and kept my distance, preferring to save my energy when the time of fighting was to come. ""Well, everyone's alright. Except for those crabs and the whale."""

Who could have possibly taken it? Who WOULD take it, and why? If... if it wasn't Desia... is she maybe not responsible for the missing void crystals?</i>I think as I look towards my teammates, one of whom was inching away from the gigantic water pokemon. Celes, however, seemed to be standing her ground. Should we continue this vacation, or should we try to figure out what just happened? Hm... ""Hey, team, do you think we should continue our break, or do you think we should check out the issue with the deep ocean?"" I decide to ask my team, with myself completely lost on the matter. Maybe we'll figure out who is actually evil enough to do something like this... or... find out their motivation, as in, why they'd do something like this. It seemed unlikely that any other wild pokemon would bother us at this time because most of them would be like this wailord, fleeing from the scene. A good portion of them would be faster, too, and if he's already here, then the rest of them would probably be long gone."

But, I knew I wouldn't feel empathy for much longer as I continued into this adventure. ""Shouldn't we try to help the weak and feeble get out of there? I mean, if our friend the Wailord knows what's going down there, then we ought to set up a rescue mission. Maybe we'll get a few rewards."" I said, floating forwards and slowing the orbit of Pokes a bit. I stretched a bit, when suddenly the word 'recover' came to mind again. Well, pain in my body did that.

He managed to dodge it, and it disappeared upon hitting the ground. Wherever it was. Hex launched a gust at it, a rolling ball of tightly packed musky wind.

The thing murmured something, but she had no idea where it was.<br/><br/>Hex tried another strategy, and opened her mouth, trying out a move she hadn't used in a while.

I hand him the berry, and head off, using Dive, which covered everyone on my team, save for Kamina, in a familiar bubble. I assumed that it didn't cover Kamina due to the fact that he can breathe underwater. Once I was underwater, I instantly noticed the complete lack of any of those strange, small, creatures that looked like water-types, and noticed several pokemon trying their hardest to swim away from something... one of them, a buizel, just sort of stopped, apparently tired. A nearby floatzel, who might just have been the kid's parents continued onwards, as if nothing was happening.<i>This doesn't look good...</i>I think as I head towards the buizel, and use my badge to teleport him out of this mess.

I chase after her, and so does our new teammate. Samuel can't catch up as fast, though, and he also gets lost along the way. I finally catch up to Bonnie and Tini, and see an Oddish. I walk over, pick it up, and sort of just toss it wherever. I look at Bonnie, and then Tini, and then Bonnie again, and I ask ""Bonnie, are you alright?"" as I poke her. I look at her. Yup, she was asleep. I pick her up, shake her for a second, and then carry her over my shoulder, back to the town. I didn't see Samuel anywhere, which was odd.<i>'Hopefully he didn't start to burn down the forest...'</i>I think. I walk into the guild and go down to our crew rooms and set her on her bed.

I eventually fell on my knees, and had to stop to take a breath. I look around, not knowing where the hell I was. I was alone, ditched by my friends. There was a sparkly, clear lake. It looked shallow, but probably wasn't. There was also two fallen trees, and a cave. I went into the cave, but it didn't actually go that far. It was more like a hole that led partially underground. I sat at the mouth of the cave, looking around. There were a couple oran-berry bushes around, and a cliff at the other side of the lake. I didn't dare go anywhere else, because it could be dangerous. I could get even more lost. No, this was definitely the best place to be lost at. I gather some twigs and branches and make a make-shift bed, and also get some rocks and clear out a space for a possible contained fire. I sat down, not knowing what else to do now."

One look at her told me that her rest wasn't very restful, as she seemed to be in pain, somehow, and appeared to be fighting something in her sleep. Sure, that MIGHT be normal for someone like Terra, but she'd probably be winning that fight if it was a normal dream, but here, she appeared to be losing. The mystery pokemon didn't celebrate, instead, coughed a few times. It was a very dry cough that sounded like it hurt the throat coming out... but... why was this thing so unhealthy? Shaking off that question, I simply await an attack from the pokemon, standing in front of Terra, and preparing to use Counter... but... no attack seemed to come my way. No, instead the thing opted to attack Matt, with an admittedly feeble-looking Feint Attack, completely bypassing the light screen that he just put up. Another look at Terra revealed that she was going through yet more terrors in her sleep, but, the creature didn't use nightmare, did it? ""Please... let me... free..."" the thing pleaded. For something that just wanted to be set free, it sure was putting up a fight... same for something so apparently feeble and broken. Things weren't looking so great, at first it seemed as though Terra had this handled with her fairy typing and wind, which, this being a dark-type according to Matt, should make her once again simply make a path of destruction for us to follow... but, unfortunately, she ended up falling asleep... AND possibly taking damage from that, as well, even without nightmare. What worried me was the fact that hypnosis didn't take too much energy to use, and we might all end up asleep and tortured from said sleep... I almost remember something horrible, something vile that was capable of doing such a powerful and evil thing... but what?<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I eventually wake up to see myself back in the guild, and the mission apparently not completed yet. William looked down at me, so, I had to assume that he was the one that brought me here, and I end up saying ""So, you just completely ditched that mission, huh? I mean, you could have just waited for me to wake up in the forest so we could continue to do the mission, but instead you dragged me back here, well... thanks, I guess, but next time, could you please finish the mission first?"" I was annoyed that I didn't get to finish the mission, so I get up and start heading back to Birchwood Forest to try to finish it with whomever might follow me. ""Okay, William, I'm off to finish the mission we were supposed to finish. You can join me if you want,"" I say as I walk instead of hop to make sure that everyone can catch up to and follow me to the mission... I just hope I don't find any more cats along the way, else we'd have another one of these scenarios.<i>So... I've got a pyromaniac, and some guy who has to abandon the mission whenever someone on the team gets a status ailment... I'll just have to make sure we're away from fire, and I'll have to tell pokemon to not do that... as if they'd listen.</i>I think as I continue onwards, still somewhat annoyed that the mission was just completely aborted for something so minor, I mean, sure, I get it, he was trying to keep me safe, but he could have done that without running all the way back to the guild and making us start back from square one on this mission... I mean, it's not like the pokemon in Birchwood are all that strong, right?"

There went their fairy type, and with it, most of her confidence over fighting the dark type. Hex blew her gust into the darkness, but she was pretty sure she hit nothing.<br/><br/>After the hypnosis of Terra, the monster let out a couple of raspy, dry coughs. It sounded dangerously unhealthy or sick. She glanced over at Matt, and a quick, dark limb suddenly struck him out of nowhere, shattering the Light Screen he had up with ease, with surprised her. Usually Matt's light screen held against some pretty strong attacks, but the pokemon had shattered it with a single strike. Nearby, Terra was struggling in her sleep, probably having a nightmare.<br/><br/>Hex could've sworn that Terra was getting damaged in her sleep. The monster hadn't even used nightmare on her. It must've been pretty powerful to be able to do something like that to her.

There was a fucking... well, non-Newtonian water was around, and there were buildings in the sea. Not just any buildings, but they were like Escher-style architecture. It was fucked up down there, what with paradoxes, Möbius strips, unlucky Pokemon repeating their movements with slight variation, etc. And above all, there were trees. And, everything was grey. Like Spruce here. I forget he was grey for a bit. I was getting a headache again just by looking at the phenomenon."

I turn to see where he was looking, and all I could describe it as was... well... imagine if suddenly, in some random area, gravity just said 'Yeah, I quit' and everything just sort of started spiraling from some sort of center... in this case, the center appeared to be where the void crystal used to be, and worse, there appeared to be some unfortunate pokemon caught up in the mess... a carvanha, a few magikarp, and a buizel were all victims to this mess, and none of them looked as though they would last too much longer in there. ""I... have no clue..."" I admit to M, answering his question. I then see that shape again and that bubble that went with it, as well. I could vaguely make out a sort of lizardlike shape, but before I could give any warning, they were right there, a purple charmeleon, and his similarly-colored vulpix assistant, in front of us, with a void crystal in hand. I didn't know what to do, except, possibly, attack. I did so with my void whip, but, that seemed to just bounce off of the charmeleon's scales. He smiled at that, and, without saying a word, just decides to attack back, using flamethrower. Thankfully, the water around me weakened the attack, but, it still hurt quite a bit. I look towards my team, and say ""Um... just... attack? Please? I mean, it's obvious they're the culprits,"" I had no battle plan, no way of dealing any significant damage, and worse... they both had a way of nearly KOing me in one hit... this wasn't going to end well for me.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I tried and failed to hit the thing with a tackle, and it turned towards Terra, and used some sort of weird move that seemed to somehow make her sleep even more painful. ""We have to find a way to turn on the lights! If we don't do something soon, Terra will just slip into... *gulp* the big sleep... so to speak,"" I inform my team. Considering how much she struggled against her own dreams and sleep, it didn't seem like we had very long. Daniel tried to hit the thing with his shadow rush, and somehow managed to hit him. A scream of pain from the enemy told me, as well as the rest of the team that someone finally hit the thing, and, thankfully, with another shadow move. I then hear Daniel say something ""I... remember an old saying that my mom used to tell me... as black as night, a creature made of naught but fright. Be careful where you rest your head, else you may wake up dead. The one piercing blue eye, be wary of he who calls himself Darkrai... but this thing can't be what she was talking about, right?"" With what I've seen with Terra thus far, something told me that this creature, apparently called 'Darkrai' might just be our mystery pokemon. If that was the case, and such a thought sent a chill down my spine, then this might be our last adventure... and it would also explain why the victini didn't want to go down here. Odd, though, that a dark type would pass down a story about avoiding some other dark type... but, maybe this thing was evil and dark even by their standards. I tried again, this time with absorb, but, like my past attempts, the pitch-blackness of the area, which our enemy blended into made me miss. The creature launched another attack, this time in the form of some sort of ghostly wind, which didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, and, heck, Daniel seemed to shrug the move off somehow.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Well, thanks, but it's not like I was really in that much danger... these forest pokemon don't seem all that tough, though, I haven't seen Samuel around... shouldn't he be with you?"" I say to William as I continue through the forest. Tini seemed oddly quiet, but, knowing him, he was overdue for a random outburst, or something. I notice that same oddish that put me to sleep earlier, and run up to him, using frustration as soon as I get close enough. The oddish falls down instantly, and I turn to say ""See? No problem. Next time, just let me wake up in the forest, alright?"" I then start hopping along the path, only to find myself in some completely random area with a waterfall nearby. There was some sort of old, moldy, and probably stinky tree house nearby. From the look of the thing, I was just amazed that it was still standing, and heck, I could just barely make out a family name on the place... 'The Birches'. Why anyone, let alone an entire family would live in a place like this was beyond me, but... maybe they left something behind before they died or moved. I kinda hoped they did, 'cause I didn't know what kind of supplies we had at this point. ""Hey, William, wanna check this place out?"" I ask William as I already start climbing up the vines in order to reach the place. The vines seemed much newer than the house, and looked healthier than the tree that the house stood on, so, I only had to assume that they weren't there when the family was, and must have grown over the tree during the time that they were gone. I don't know why but I almost felt as though I knew someone from this family... of course, that feeling didn't last long, and wasn't enough to keep me away from any possible treasure that they might have stored in their house and forgot about."

She growled at them before suddenly feeling the same energy as when she was against Vine. She looked at them and chains of light started to form around her, as she suddenly lets out the attack at the culprits.<br/>""You are hurting innocent pokemons! You are making everything go to chaos! I will not let you continue this and ruin our world!"" she says in anger, before attacking the charmeleon with the chains, hoping that it would actually do some damage to them. She was unsure what those will do.... She was not sure how the heck she was even able to use those. It was so weird and strange.... It felt natural for her, but also felt wrong... It was a feeling that could not be described. She felt slightly pure, but at the same time slightly unsure. She continued to let out her attack, hoping that this would actually hurt those pokemons so much that they would drop the gem and be able to retreave it to make everything go back to normal."

""Wow, this place looks ancient or something,"" I say as I walk around. ""So, you think that scrafty could have the last name of Birch?"" I ask. ""Doesn't look like a fighting type would even live here, though... but you never know,"" I mutter as I open a door and walk in. I walk around the house, looking for interesting things, but there wasn't really anything. ""I don't think that they're here,"" I say as I continue searching for the scrafty.<br/><br/>-Samuel-<br/>I decide to rest near the beach. ""Hello, hello, hello?"" I call out before standing up and walking into the forest. I go left and right and get to where I thought the scrafty was. Not there, sadly. I continue walking around the forest and find that disc I threw. ""Hey!"" I say, picking it up. I take one more large throw with it, in whatever direction was suitable. I heard it hit something, echoing through a small patch of the forest. I run towards the noise, thinking I just hit the scrafty in the head, maybe. I get to my disc. It was caught in a tree branch. ""I can't just have nice things today, can I?"" I ask before walking around the forest some more and going back to my area that was nice. I call out ""Hello?"" about three more times before I take a break and chill out in my cave."

Tini cheered. As he made his way to the vines, he made an important discovery; he lacked the limbs to climb them ""ah crumbs"" he pouted. However, someone like Tini wasn't going to give up the easy. Finding the thickest vine he could, he stretched up as high as he could and then bit into it. Once his jaw had a solid enough grip, he coiled tightly around a group of vines. Then he stopped biting the vine and stretched up further before biting into another vine. He conditioned this until he had reached the top. Once he was back on solid ground, he crumbled to the floor and cheered weakly, but still excitedly ""yay...adventure""<br/><br/><b>Kamina</b><br/><br/>""Fire Types huh? Well your fire wont hurt me, because my flame burns brighter then both of yours!"" Swimming behind Spruce, he used his little fishy snout to flip him up into the...water(?) and caught him on his back. ""Come Spruce, my noble comrade. Let us charge wildly into battle! For honor, justice, and the glory of your lover and my friend Celes. Please don't feel left out M; I only mentioned Celes because she and Spruce are in love, and fighting battles for the sake of one's women isn't unheard of. I added that part about her being my friend to make it clear that she was more to me then just my friend lover. You are just as important to me as the others my metallic friend. Now, time to charge!!!"" and with that, Kamina rushed the two fire types, with Spruce on his back"

Matt said, putting Josh's bucket on the ground while he looked around for a light source. Meanwhile, Daniel used a shadow move on the mystery Pokemon, which seemed to deal a good amount of damage. He seemed to remember something that his mother told him, about a Pokemon called Darkrai. It seemed likely that this was the Pokemon they were fighting.<br/><br/>Josh fired a Water Gun into the darkness, but once again didn't hit anything. ""Hurry up, Matt."" He said.

I groaned, tapping my magnets together and letting off a few sparks. ""Let's put these things back into shape."" I would never say that, but lately I wasn't really myself. Less pain meant I could concentrate more, and unfortunately (paradoxically in fact) it brought more pain thinking about the last few days.<br/><br/>The ocean was clear, elegant and had webs of sunlight on the surface. You could see further than up in a mountain, gazing out at everything from seaweed to seaweed that were really Pokemon. And yet, instead of enjoying the beauty again, we were fighting a literal juxtaposition underwater. Physics didn't make sense on its own, and going into that messed up zone would probably kill us... or for worse, trap us forever. ""Alright, keep your distance away from that place. You don't want to end up as those Pokemon down there!""<br/><br/>And then, Spruce somehow got hit by flames underwater. To our relief, he didn't get burnt, but obviously stuff wasn't working out well - he was hurt, and it was clear the influence of the breakdown of physics was spreading. ""Ah, heck."" To my amusement, when I let out a small thunder attack, it was amplified into... well, a laser. the 'lightning bolt' went straight, just damn straight. It was like a rod formed within a millisecond. Unfortunately, I just missed the Charmeleon and hit an imploding pillar. Disturbingly, he had an uncanny resemblance to those Shadow Pokemon... and, worse, he had the fucking crystal. My Ars. This wouldn't end well. Again.<br/><br/>""If we had a Plan B, I think it would involve getting back to the guild. Anyone?"""

He was surprisingly fast underwater, and I didn't have enough time to react. Thankfully, Celes' weird... um... light chain attack left both of our enemies wide open for an attack, and I ended up using tackle the moment Kamina arrived at their bubble, I aimed for the charmeleon in particular, and thanks to the somehow doubled power he actually seemed damaged by the attack, and even pushed back slightly. It wasn't much, but it was a glimmer of hope, and maybe this was all we needed. The charmeleon tried to use a sort of weird, grey slash-based attack, and somehow, I could tell that it was a void attack, so I jumped off of Kamina, and got in the way of the charmeleon's attack, taking the hit for Kamina, and not really taking much damage from the move, as well. The vulpix looks towards M, and fires off a flamethrower of her own in some sort of attempt to deal some decent damage to him. ""Kamina, try to get in the way of that attack,"" I say to Kamina, knowing that a fire attack wouldn't do that much, if any damage given that 1.) we're underwater, 2.) Kamina's a water type, and 3.) Kamina's also a fire type. Kamina would probably be able to intercept the attack, given that somewhat fast underwater, and he's probably more than willing to, as he seems to be the most, um... determined? Energetic? Caffeinated? Well, one of those words might describe him, and any one of those three would work in this situation.<i>I wonder... if this is what he's like as a magikarp, what's he going to be like as a gyrados?</i>I think as I remember that his evolution should be happening pretty shortly... maybe even after this battle.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I was fairly certain that this wasn't the home of a fighting-type, but before I could say anything, a glint from the sunlight hitting something shiny caught my attention, and I hopped over to the left, and towards the glint. I notice a few pokecoins and a family painting under them. The painting wasn't too special, just some stuck-up serperior family, though, a couple of them looked oddly familiar. The two snivy in the picture... one of them reminded me of that old explorer, Vine, though, he looked weaker and less mature in this painting, and the other one... I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but somehow that other snivy looked familiar. That being said, I haven't met any normal-colored snivy, so, I had no clue why this one would look familiar to me. After probably taking too long to figure out why that snivy looked familiar, I hold up the painting, and quickly put the monry in my bag, and after that, say ""Well, I think this painting here kinda confirms that there are no fighting types here. See? Just a bunch of grass types, and not even grass types that are also fighting types, either,"" I then continue my search for things this family might have left behind. They were serperior, so, they were probably rich, and probably left behind a bunch of money... right? I mean, heck, I already found some just lying next to some old painting, there was bound to be more. As I continued my search, I started to think about what I was going to spend that money on... my mother used to spend her money on things like berries and seeds, or apples, probably just to keep us all fed, and I didn't even want to think about my father, so, maybe that? But... we don't need THAT much money for stuff like that, right? I then look over to see that Tini fell, but somehow made it up here. I didn't know what to say to him, so I just gave him a smile.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Well, the good news was that someone was working to bring light to this place, but, the bad news? Well... another hypnosis beam was fired, this time at Daniel, and unfortunately, he couldn't dodge, and was put right to sleep. My teammates were dropping like flies, and I couldn't do anything to help.<i>Man... I wish I bought a chesto berry back at the shop...</i>I think as I look around for any possible sign that he might be around. I manage to see Daniel, and notice that he seems to be struggling in his sleep, just as badly as Terra was before the thing used nightmare on her. I prepare to counter an attack, and thankfully, one finds its way to me. A feint attack hits me, and I manage to successfully counter the attack, apparently doing a decent amount of damage to the enemy, whoever he was, as another scream of pain indicated. Another raspy cough, and the thing says ""Please... let me eat... I'm so hungry..."" in that same voice that made him sound almost dead. If he was so near-death, how the heck was he kicking my team's rear end so easily, and how the heck was he so evasive if he was starving? These questions kept me from believing that the thing was just some poor old pokemon who was in need of food and water, and kept me thinking of this thing as some sort of evil monster that feeds on dreams, or something like that. The mystery pokemon then sends one of those hypnosis beams my way, but thankfully, his attack wasn't as accurate as it was previously, and it just missed, flying just to the right of me. ""Th... that was close,"" I say, somewhat frightened of what might happen to me if that thing ever hit, and sent me to the same torturous environment as Terra and Daniel... I don't know if I'd last too long if I ended up sleeping and having one of those nightmares."

She had a idea right now, a bit dark.... but still. She quickly strike the vulpix at full speed with the chains, before trying to wrap it using her chains, attempting to lift it in the air, and possibly holding the vulpix hard, attempting to make it flinch from pain and maybe make the charmeleon see this and attack her or stay there in fear, hoping for the last part. It might be a darker kind of attack, but they were causing so much trouble, that she knew that she needed to do something. A way to weaken the damage that the 2 of them would do to the group. She was still ready for another attack, and if she were to miss her catch, then she could always damage the vulpix enough with this. She just hoped that Spruce would be alright and not fall from all this. She did not want him to get hurt too much after all. That feeling of love....

Surrender the crystal now!"" The way Kamina saw it; the Vulpix and Charmeleon were woefully unprepared for this. In fact, he was surprised that they even managed to get the crystal in the first place. Underwater, their fire attacks would be severely weakened, as demonstrated when one of them hit Spruce. His little Grass friend didn't seem to take too much damage from it, and if the loss in power was great enough to overcome a type advantage, then it would do nothing to someone who had a 4x resistance to it, and he was right.

I was wondering why we hadn't turned inside-out. ""Why do we keep facing off against stronger-"" Bam, flames underwater, like I said. It did hurt, and quite frankly, I was left pretty hurt by the attack, since flames and metal often didn't go well together. I sunk a little before rubbing soot out of my eye, wiping my magnet against the side of my bubble.<br/><br/>""Oh, you sly fox!"" Pun not intended. Underwater, things were getting bad - there were strange noises associated with large metal structures bending, physics was getting more and more contradicting, the sound of both underwater was concerning... but, for some reason, we were sticking around to fight some oddly-powerful thieves. So, shaking my magnet, I pointed it at the damn fox and let off another laser attack. I was interesting to use, but my aim was terrible, and so I needed the chain effect of lightning.<br/><br/>Well, at least I managed to pretty much punt the fox towards a wall. The laser was non-lethal for some reason, but boy; it was a fist going at the speed of light, (somehow) leaving a smoking hole in a spiraling wall.

I blinked and missed him shooting some sort of powerful attack back at the vulpix, forcing her into the void... and leaving only one pokemon to fight us. Celes had also recently stunned said vulpix with another set of chains, and I expected the charmeleon to be a little bit more concerned... but, no, he seemed determined. An almost Kamina-like determination, if you will, no, he wasn't weaker from losing his partner... he wasn't stuck fighting us, to him, we were stuck fighting him. The charmeleon's determination showed the moment he ran up to my team, and pulled off three consecutive slash attacks, aiming for Celes, Kamina and I... and, well I can at least say that it hit me, leaving me with only a sliver of energy. ""Th... this isn't going quite as planned..."" I manage to say, turning to face Celes, who seemed hurt, as well.<i>No! Not Celes, too! This has to end... NOW. I wonder...</i>I think as I continue looking towards Celes, but this time, not with a look of fear, but one that might communicate that I had a plan. ""Celes... can you try using those light chain things again? Just bring them up... I'll handle the rest,"" I ask her, though, I still sounded somewhat weak from all the damage I already took in this fight, I wasn't quite ready to give up... even if that might have been the smarter option. No... I could feel it... that void bomb move that I used back in Gabriel's Dojo... I felt as though I could use it again. Sure, he'd resist, but I still felt that it might just deal some kind of decent damage... and if I also used Celes' light chains, maybe as a means to continually slam the Void Bomb against the charmeleon... maybe we could make it out of this.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Well, William, you never know what these residents might have been dumb enough to leave behind, bu-"" my explanation was cut short by someone rudely slamming against some nearby tree. William somehow thought that it might be the previous residents, and while it wouldn't make sense for them to keep their house in this condition, I decided to follow him anyways. Somehow, I ended up out of the tree, first, and saw an aipom slamming its tail-fist against some tree just to the left of ours... for some reason. A few berries promptly fell off of the tree, and the aipom scooped them up and started eating as if he hasn't eaten in weeks, or something.<i>Well, I guess that answers my question, then.</i>I think as I try to get closer to the purple monkey, who, as soon as he noticed me, screeched at me, apparently using astonish... well, I only really know the second part because I flinched from the attack, leaving me open for a scratch, which thankfully didn't do as much as I thought it would. As soon as I get a chance to attack, I do, with frustration, which didn't seem to leave the aipom with too much energy. Another scratch, and I decided to wait on the others instead of attacking, they deserved some of the experience from this fight, too, right?

As she looked at Spruce, seeing how much he was damaged, she was worried before hearing what Spruce was asking. She then saw the charmeleon about to attack Spruce once again with Slash. That was enough for her. Enough of this guy attacking everyone... enough of that guy going and hurting her beloved Spruce. She quickly rushed forwards before having her chains out and actually catching the charmeleon's claw with her chains and then throwing him back at full force, anger in her eyes.<br/>""Hurting my friends, disrespecting the peace of the ocean, targeting my... love."" she says, her eyes with a new kind of anger, energy surgeon inside of her.<br/>""I will not let him or anyone else get hurt here.!"" she says, before her body started to glow full white. A bright light was forming around her, as... her body was changing! Celes was evolving! Ribbons started to form around her neck, her tail started to change as well as her starting to grow in size.

Whatever your plan is, best if you go and do it."" she then says, her chains keeping the hits as the Charmeon tried to dodge and get a attack towards Celes, her ribbons flowing in the wind.

Now, we didn't need to retreat. We just had to stand our ground and finish off that Charmeleon. Not even our previous defeats and Davis' betrayal could sadden me at this point. Everything was coming up our way, and by Arceus it was golden. I could already imagine beating the shit out of that Charmeleon, and if stuck by our morals, we'd probably just... I dunno, beat him half-way to hell. We had already knocked out one of the two Pokemon, and I was pretty desperate for a win in this world of pain.<br/><br/>...what did I usually do again? It involved mercy, but frankly the world's not the same. Never was, never will.<br/><br/>""Alright, let's do it!""

I then proceeded to smash the charmeleon with my Void Bomb attack repeatedly, occasionally making sure to hit him with the chains as well. I don't even know how many times I hit the guy with that attack, but, on the last one, I made sure to smack him into the abyss that he created. The charmeleon dropped the Void Crystal before flying into the abyss, courtesy of my new, temporary hammer. I finished my attack, and dropped down to the ocean floor, too tired to move, yet, energetic enough to speak. ""The void crystal... he dropped the thing... place it where it belongs,"" I manage to say before falling down on my face due to exhaustion. I still had a bit of energy left, and I noticed Kamina, and added ""Thanks, everyone..."" after that, I couldn't really do anything but see the destruction that the charmeleon and his vulpix cohort caused in their... well, I'll assume it was greed. The oddity, I'll just call it that until I come up with a better name, was an affront to every law of gravity and nature that existed. There were giant landmasses dotting the area, and floating or obeying some twisted laws of physics, and acting as both a floor and a wall, or, at least, that's what it appeared to be doing, of course, not to mention the strange stone and or steel structures that occupied this oddity. Only some of them were actually in the ground, and only some of those floors were actually on top of the previous floor, which made for some strange-looking, and probably even evil-looking buildings. I honestly hoped that returning the crystal will solve this mess, and make it normal again.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Thankfully, light eventually came to the basement, revealing a really skinny, and almost withered-looking Darkrai in front of me. ""P...please... I need... to escape..."" he pleads with me in that same raspy voice as usual. I shake my head, saying ""I won't fall for your tricks, Darkrai!"" Knowing that he was probably capable of illusions, or some other trickery that he might be using to make us help him out. I prepared to use counter again, but... no additional attack came. Instead, Darkrai flew out of the door, forcing me to try and fail to follow him. I did manage to catch a glimpse of him escaping, and once I made my way over to one of the houses, I saw him, in what I now know is a resturant, with a giant order of food... or... what used to be a giant order of food. ""Alright, you've had your food, now, prepare yourself, Darkrai, I'll be the one to take you down!"" I shout, in an attempt to intimidate him. ""Hm?"" He simply asked. I then answer ""The fight, remember?"" Darkrai simply shrugs, and I am somehow joined by a now-awake Terra and Daniel. ""Hey, weren't you two in some sort of evil nightmare?"" Terra nods, and answers ""Yes, I was. It was one where I enter this exact town, was immediately shouted at by the elder, and then thrown down into the basement with no escape and no food... sound familiar yet?"" I look off to the side, and Daniel adds ""I had the same dream... maybe he wasn't really trying to hurt anyone, he was just trying to get out of here,"" but... Darkrai was the greatest evil, the one obviously evil pokemon... right? Something didn't quite add up here, if he was supposed to be a great, evil pokemon."

These things made her think about the ghost she had seen, with the ribbons... DId she.... did she change into sometime like that? A ghost? No... she did not look like this.... She was pretty much alive. And evolving from the feeling she had for Spruce.... She quickly rush in the chaos, crystal in her ribbons, and then attempting to place the crystal back where it belong, hoping to be able to do this, feeling a new rush of energy inside of her. She had difficulty a bit moving, but felt like she could do it. Soon she got to where the crystal was, she placed it on the shrine, before quickly moving away, trying to get near Spruce, trying to help him back up.<br/>""Spruce... are you alright?"" she says, hoping everything would be alright.

I walk through the thickets of trees and occasional vine or low-hanging branch, and I see a hint of orange for a second. ""I think that's him!"" I say, running towards him. He hears me, turns around faster than I could react, and uses High Jump Kick. ""Eeek!"" I squeal as I duck down and cover my head. He missed and hits a tree. ""Hah! You missed!""

Anything could happen, from sudden deaths to resurrections, to even witnessing the spice of life. Maybe both, though as far as I'm concerned, that's only happened once...<br/><br/>So yeah, the world was weird. The structures looked frozen in time, seemingly stopping growth and inversion after Celes placed back the void crystal on its pedestal. There was something awfully familiar with these structures... they were giant monoliths, with glass all around and with metal frames. Some were missing chunks and leaning at impossible angles, some had looked like their top half was ripped straight off. Coloured metal boxes kept moving forwards, only to repeat the same movement with the... wheels or something underneath, as if resetting. Strangest of all, the water around was warmer than usual, if not a bit... windy? There was something very creepy about that place, whether that be 'corruption' of the world or something more sinister. It was probably sinister, since I saw bright flashes occur in the distance. Not like light, but... clouds, almost going at the speed of light, only to vanish upon getting a good look at them. The place was almost sickening, literally, despite the lack of anything remotely organic. Quite familiar... maybe Davis would have an idea on what was all this.<br/><br/>Regardless, we had nearly killed the duo. That was all that mattered. ""Right then. Let's bring those bastards back to the guild. Thankfully, we're not the ones nearly dead this time."" And so, taking off my badge, I had indented a button intended to teleport us back to the guild. I was hoping that the darn corruption wouldn't screw up the badge, or worse. ""Ready when you say so, guys."""

I'm ready,"" I say weakly as I tie the duo up with void whips. I knew that these wouldn't hold for too long, but, thanks to Celes' chains, they didn't have to. I then press the button to teleport myself, and the rest of my team, Kamina included, back to the guild. Once back, I say ""Ugh... Celes... maybe you should handle this for a while... I'm not in the best condition for this right now,"" after that, I head down and towards my team's room. For some reason, it felt as if it had already been ages since I last slept here, and yet, I was certain that I did so earlier today. I shake off that feeling and pass out on my bed. I then started to have those same dreams about that weird place, yet, this place seemed familiar now... was it possibly... that oddity from earlier? It sure looked like it was, but in the dream, there was a giant, towering, snakelike figure in the distance. Those two crooks were there too, yet, they smiled as I passed by instead of attacking me. ""We've weakened him, now go! Finish him off!"" I hear the chermeleon call out to me. Finish who off? What universe was this that I was WORKING with these jerks!? Either way, I had little control over what happened next, and saw myself running towards the giant figure, but... before I could attack, I was thrown into some sort of portal, which led right to the guild, and next to Celes and the tied up duo... what the heck!? Sure, it didn't make any sense, but, then again, I've heard that dreams typically don't make much sense, if any. The dream sort of just stopped right there for whatever reason, and I kept on with my now-dreamless sleep.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Thank you all for showing me the way out,"" Darkrai said to my team. This time, however, he sounded normal, and seemed to have a rather deep voice instead of his old, raspy voice. Terra then turns towards Josh after he asked about Blaze, and, with a worried look on her face, she runs off, presumably back to the basement again. I didn't really feel as though she needed any additional help, so, I stayed right here with the weird old dude. ""I've been trapped in that place for years... only just surviving off of the elder's dreams... funny thing, I was just passing through as a tourist, back when this place was a tourism hot-spot,"" he then laughed, but, said laugh was cut short when a certain victini showed up. ""YOU!"" The elder shouted. The elder then ran up to Darkrai, and continued with ""Don't you know where your place is, monster!? Get back in the basement, you horrible fiend!"" Darkrai answers with ""You don't understand! I mean you no-"" he was cut off with the elder saying ""I understand plenty! Those nightmares you caused, and those lies about you just 'wanting to pass through town', pffft, simple, easy to see through illusions, just like what the rest of you dark-types use to make others think you're not evil! I know better, though, I'm not so easily tricked, not so easily..."" the elder went on and on about how evil dark types supposedly were while Darkrai simply flew off, and Daniel just continued to look angrier and angrier. I had to hold him back from attacking the elder a couple times, and thankfully, he stopped trying to attack the man after that.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Hey, Tini, we could really use some help over here!"" I call out to Tini, who still seemed focused on the aipom, instead of the scrafty who just showed his face by using hi-jump-kick and then acid, thankfully missing William with his hi-jump-kick and smashing into a tree, instead. I, after going over my moveset in my head, decide to try to use attract on the scrafty, his masculine voice giving away his gender... well, that, and the fact that he was seen earlier with a female kirlia, whom we are now helping. This would at least make a decent distraction, and, seemed to work just fine, with him making some sort of stupid-face at me that I could only assume was 'love'... of course, the scraggy family was never known for their expressions, but instead, their habit of spitting bile at their enemies. He seemed as though he was trying to attack someone, but instead just looked over at me some more, as if I was some sort of beauty queen or something. I then think my options through again, and remember that bite can leave enemies open for attack. That being my only option, I run right at him, and bite him right on the hand... of course, he hardly seemed to notice, and I ended up in some sort of bramble bush, with the spiky plant leaving a few balls of spikes stuck in my fur. Obviously, I didn't stay in there for long, and unfortunately, almost every movement was now coupled with some sort of spike-based pain. I then started to think if there was any possible way to use this as an advantage, but laughed at the idea, and started trying to take out some of the spikes... I had to do this one at a time, and gave up whatever attack opportunities might come up, soon."

She told herself that she would come back home when she would have evolved, but what would her parents even say for that.... And Spruce.... will her parents be alright with her being in love with him? She just did not know about that.... they probably would have expected her to go and find another eevee or something. She then got her bag, and remembered something. She took out the stone from before, the one that they found just floating on the waves, and looks at it, cleaning it a bit, unsure about what it even was. She just had no idea at all what all this was about. She then looks at the 2 tied up pokemons, and let out a deep sighed. Why would they even do things like that to cause so much problem. She stares and then looked up. She was wondering... if things had been gotten worst in the old area near the forest before.... Maybe she could go check that out if Spruce does not feel like moving for a bit... or she could also try to get him to see her parents. But god that might end up awkward... Really awkward."

It was at that point that he stopped thinking and just acted.

I start to say before looking at my still fainted partner. I then correct myself, saying ""Or, I guess, I'll talk,"" I then continue on. Whoever these pokemon were, they at least didn't seem to be against us void types, ""We're trying to save the world. These void crystals are growing unstable due to Giratina's realm being torn apart. Let me explain that last part... not too long ago, a strange pokemon told Giratina that his realm would be destroyed, she went on to explain that the other world was apparently empty, ready for the taking. Unfortunately, Giratina believed her, and he used his own power to start to destabilize the void crystals which held him in place, and kept him tied to that realm. My partner and I knew that this mysterious pokemon was lying, so we followed her into this world, where we overheard her talking about how she was going to destroy all of the void crystals... we couldn't let her do that,"" I then take a breath, and struggle a bit against these odd, and oddly effective chains, sighing when my attempt to escape my bindings failed. I then add ""Thankfully, we still managed to take one of the crystals while you and your team distracted the strange pokemon... now we just need the others, and then we can finally put an end to this. All we'd need to do after that to keep Giratina in his own realm is to put these crystals in his grave,"" I look around a bit... this was one of those older guilds. I guess that would explain why I kept running into these pokemon, but, if they're here, then where's that strange pokemon who convinced Giratina to try to take over this place? Where was she? My partner, Flare woke up after this, and asked ""Wha...? Where am I? Ack! Why can't I move!?"" Much to my embarrassment. ""Right... now, would you mind untying us? We'd like to get back to our job, and hopefully save this world, as well as our own,"" I then ask, in high hopes that they might let us go.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The elder finally finished his speech, and looked around, eventually asking ""Eh? Now, what was I ranting about? Weren't there more of ya? Hm..."" I didn't answer, as he just left the building, along with Terra who returned shortly after with a sort of fiery gem in hand, and a big smile on her face. ""Alright, let's try this thing out,"" she said happily as she placed the gem next to Blaze (who was still an egg). Both the gem, and the egg glowed bright red, with the glow quickly growing in size until it looked as though we were all caught in some sort of inferno. Daniel shielded his eyes for some reason, but I didn't really find the light too bright, myself. The glow vanished, and left behind a now-permanently-hatched Blaze, who seemed dazed and a little confused for a moment before shouting out ""Terra! You cured me! Thank you, big sis!"" Well, he sure seemed excited about it, and, well, I guess he really should. Daniel, who just unshielded his eyes seemed pretty happy as well, even if he didn't ever really get to meet Blaze. ""Well, team, I think we should call this one a win,"" I then announce, as Hex seemed to be a little quiet at the moment. I then head out of the village, only to see Darkrai again. ""I really can't thank you enough, but I do know quite a bit about ancient things, maybe that would help, is there anything you'd like to know?"" He asks me almost as soon as I see him. ""Um..."" I start to say before Static pokes his head out of my bag, and taps me where my shoulder would be if I had any. ""Oh, right, do you know where the nearest orb of balance is, and if so, is there anything that I should watch out for?"" Darkrai thinks for a moment, just as well, too, as I had to wait for the rest of my teammates to arrive.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>With Tini helping me out, the thorns came out really quickly, and that's when I got an idea. I scooped some of them up formed them into a ball of spikes, and quickly used switcheroo, forcing the scrafty to hold them, while I ended up with... er... some sort of half-eaten apple? Gross. The ball of spikes seemed to be doing its trick, that is, damaging the scrafty, and being really difficult to remove, and I smiled a bit, knowing that the tables might have just been turned by that. The scrafty tries to prepare a hi-jump-kick again, but takes one look at my smiling face and seems to just stop, preferring to just stand there, with a stupid face. I tried to make it look as though I liked that, mainly because that would get him to stop attacking more often, and just stood there, waiting for the rest of my team to finish him off. ""Okay, Tini, now would be a good time for that fairy wind,"" I say to Tini, who was still right next to me from pulling out those spikes. It probably looked like I was attracted to this scrafty, and trust me, I wasn't, but really I was just trying to keep him occupied while the rest of my team finishes him off. I then remember Samuel, and scare myself thinking that he might just burn down the forest just so he won't be lost anymore... I mean, I wouldn't put it past him after the way he basically burned down my home without any hint of hesitation. That being said, he was a decent teammate to have around, just, keep him away from sticks, or wood, or really, anything flammable."

Celes sighed a bit.<br/>""Mind warning the others about this please.... so we don't get any trouble with people wanting to defend the crystals from these 2?"" she asks.

I stopped my act (because torture's unnecessary at this point), and brushed off the fact that nobody seemed to react to... well, me willing to electrocute a pair of people without any second thoughts. Shocking.<br/><br/>""Nice story. But fuck..."" I was brushing my eye at this point. ""How the hell does Desia manipulate a literally-damned Pokemon? I know Arceus banished him five ways from reality, but Giratina's gotta make sense. He's got a whole universe to himself - if he's gonna skip worlds, he shouldn't bring the remains of a war over here."" Great. Now we have another excuse to kill Desia.

Now goodnight."" I hissed, carefully mincing my words as I left the two tied up in the chair. Nowhere else to keep them after all.<br/><br/>And then, carefully strolling through the dark corridor, I made it to our cabin, and kinda sunk into my bed.

""OH! Now I remember where that thing was. I was actually trying to visit the place myself which led me to this city. The orb's just past the city itself and better yet the guardian shouldn't be too much for you to handle. It should be just north of here on top of the nearby mountain which is populated primarily by fighting types. There aren't too many traps along the way and the guardian as I've said before isn't too much. He's just some scrafty and isn't a shadow pokemon or anything like that. In fact I think my friend might have even solved some of the puzzles on his way over to the orb. I mean assuming that he continued towards the orb even after I got caught. So north and on top of a mountain got all that?"" He... unfortunately spoke a little too fast, as if he was incredibly excited about what he remembered. All I could really make out was 'north of here' and 'populated primarily by fighting types'. ""Could you slow down a bit?"" I ask Darkrai, not having heard much of that. He repeated what he said, but, he didn't say it any slower, unfortunately for me. ""Er... could either of you understand what Darkrai just tried to say to us?"" I then ask the other two. Hopefully, they each understood at least something from the two times that he went through his little spiel. Static then adds ""Well... all I got was that the guardian's a scrafty... does that help?"" It almost sounded as if Static's head was spinning from the speed of Darkrai's speech. I wonder if he's going to get like this every time he remembers something about the orbs of balance? That wouldn't be very helpful.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>That last fairy wind from Tini was enough to knock out the scrafty, thankfully. ""Alright, we won!"" I say to the rest of my team, including Samuel who was, for some reason, slapping William repeatedly. I then press the button on my badge, but for some reason, it only teleports us to Treasure Town... and not even in front of the guild. Odd, was someone somehow messing with our badges? I notice a vaguely canine shaped pokemon a few feet in front of me, but, the second I spot him or her, he or she darts right into the bushes.<i>Who or what was that?</i>I ask myself as I look around for the rest of my team... whatever that was, I didn't want to face it alone. ""H-hello?"" I call out to the bushes, only to, obviously, get no response. As soon as the rest of my team gathers here apparently via teleportation, the thing rushes right towards William, shouting something along the lines of ""You knocked out my boyfriend!"" Or... something similar to that. Did that scrafty we brought in have some sort of relation with this pokemon? Was this the real reason that the mission was put up, to get revenge on someone who was apparently seeing other pokemon? If that was so, then I honestly felt pretty bad for our victim, now... and I also kinda felt bad because I took a mission that was written out of rage, rather than urgency... we're not mercenaries, we're supposed to be rescuers... as in, we help those who are actually in NEED of help, rather than just whoever WANTS help.<hr/>[???]<br/><br/>""The shrines should return to normal once we place all of the void crystals in their spot in Giratina's grave. I hope none of the pokemon died because of this... but, even if that's the case, then I suppose I'll have to call it their sacrifice,"" I say to the sylveon who somehow was capable of tying us up with these chains. I then notice the angry magnemite, who simply floated down, possibly to his own team's bed, and add ""What his problem? Either way, at least I've got the name of the one who tricked Giratina... Desia... why does that name sound familiar?"" Flare then finally asks ""So, would you mind telling us your name, miss?"" she seemed rather calm, which was weird given her fear of being unable to move. I was about to say something, but she apparently finally snapped, shouting ""Get me outta here! I can't handle this anymore!"" She then just went on to shouting... not really forming words, just, screaming, obviously out of fear. It took her long enough, as she usually goes right to the screaming and shouting, not even giving herself a single second to try to be calm. It can be difficult with her sometimes, especially on mornings when she wakes up and thinks that her own blankets are preventing movement somehow. ""Yes, um, would you please let us go? I'd rather not have to listen to this for too long,"" I state, only raising my voice so that I could be heard over Flare's screams of fear. I tried to get out again, but, just like last time, there was no luck... and worse, I couldn't cover my ears as Flare's screams got louder and louder... hopefully, I'll go deaf soon enough, and wouldn't have to hear it anymore."

As soon as I get back with the scrafty in my hands, a Ninetails runs up to me, yelling ""Scrafty! You beat up my boyfriend!"" and she tackles me. She grabs the scrafty and begins dragging him off, but I hop up and run after her, grabbing her tail, when suddenly she whips around with the most menacing, blood-red eyes I've ever seen, and suddenly I'm paralyzed, with a sharp pain in my forehead as I begin having flashbacks. Painful, quick, short, and also dark flashbacks, as well. Suddenly, the quick cycling through of flashbacks stops on one where one of my co-workers, the smeargle, attempted to kill me as I was saving my old boss. I hear a blood-curdling laugh. Suddenly, I get my vision back, and she had used some move, and we were in some flame room. It felt like it was burning me, and she says ""So you think it's funny to get in the way of LOVE?! Hmph! I wonder how useful you'd be if you could only ever use one move!"" as I feel jolts of pain around my heart and liver. She then began forcing my muscles to tighten as she strikes with another tackle, and I was crying at this point. ""I don't think that curse is quite enough, though,"" she says. ""How about that, and I beset upon you plaguing visions, night terrors, and an unstable mind?"" she growls. ""Yes! I think that's fair, seeing as you fried some big pokemon's brain not too long ago!"" she howls, and at that point I faint.<br/><br/>I wake up minutes later, pretty much just the same. ""Wh-what happened? Was I attacked?"" I ask, grabbing my chest and standing up. I was still my old, scaly self, but my tongue seemed to sort of be hanging out of the side of my mouth. I hear a few whispers, and I see a blissey using Heal Pulse on me. Suddenly, I hear a particularly loud whisper, saying ""You're just worthless, you pile of scaly JUNK!"" and I look around. ""Who said that?!"" I ask, but I wasn't able to barely even sit up. Samuel asked ""Who said what?"" and I say ""Someone called me junk."" ""No one called you anything, Will. You just sorta fainted after that ninetails engulfed you in flame... and why do you have your tongue out?"" Samuel asks. I stick my tongue back in my mouth, and the blissey puts me back down, continuing to use Heal Pulse. I fall asleep, too tired to stay awake.<br/><br/>-Samuel (While the fight was happening)-<br/>I get teleported back to Treasure Town, and suddenly someone steals the scrafty. William chases after the pokemon, and grabs her tail, and she struck him down, putting up a large wall of flame around them. I hear a lot of shrieks of pain, and when the flame dissipates, the ninetails was continuing to run away, and was being chased down by some guards, when she suddenly went up in flames, and disappeared in the smoke. I run over to Will, and a crowd gathers around, and a few minutes after the crowd gathers, a blissey pushes through saying ""Oh my oh my oh my oh my! What happened?"" as she begins using Heal Pulse over and over again on William."

Luckily, I still had my badge pinned to my chest, so they just thought I was a new guild member. Everyone asked my name, and I said ""William,"" but my voice had changed. In fact, everything was changed, and from my beat-up appearance, two of the higher ranks thought I went on a difficult mission. No one other than my team knew me in the guild. Samuel called me a liar after the morning chant, and accused me of being an intruder. This, of course, was not good. Samuel probably thinks that because the old me is gone, he's the leader of the group. I go around and try to find Bonnie, but I decide to give up. I wouldn't know what to say or how to explain that I was now a smeargle rather than a kecleon. I wouldn't know what to say to my parents, either, because they always write letters to me and invite me over."

""You've already killed us once or twice, and I really ought to repay that since you're breaking my hearing!"" I continued on, wondering how Spruce was able to sleep. Maybe he was really dead, but brushing aside that, I went on to complain. Well, really remind them why I was so fed up with them. ""You bastards thought we were some rogue thieves, or the servants of, er, Giratina or Desia, or even both without even much to go on!"" I rambled on, making gestures on trying to get my point across. Well, that point must've hurt anyway. It was already dark, but they didn't seem to keen on sleep themselves. ""The guild IS pretty unforgiving, and if word were to get out about you two attacking us over some misunderstanding, let's just say it'll be like two Treasure Guild members against the entire fucking town of Allure Town..."" I sniffed, almost chuckling afterwards... ""You've already attacked us, and God knows what else will happen, 'cause its a miracle the guild doesn't know about your actions. Frankly, we've already let you go, and we're not sure what you'll do next, but heed this message: if you really want to save this world, promise us you won't attack us again, or I WILL fucking cut you in half like a lightning bolt striking a tree!""

I turned away from the pair, who didn't scream, and yet looked liked they wanted to. 'We've got two people with unknown intentions (I don't mean saving the world, I mean alignments), we're letting them go... but, we can always sleep it off. Assuming they won't attack us again.

Apparently, I had a confused or stunned look on my face, as the charmeleon asked ""Why are you so surprised that she let us out? Don't you two know each other?"" Why in the world were they speaking so calmly to me? It was almost as if they thought I wasn't an enemy of theirs, which I was, at least, at this point. Since I couldn't fight them alone, I ran back downstairs, and shook Celes awake, shouting ""Celes, why did you let those two go!? What the heck happened last night!? Did they hypnotize you!? What's WRONG WITH YOU!?"" It really didn't make much sense, but, I figured that if she couldn't provide a decent answer to all of this, perhaps M could. I just hoped she wasn't still under whatever mind control they put her under... or worse, somehow convinced that they were the good guys and we were the evil ones all along.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>After a dreamless sleep, I yawn and roll out of bed, only to notice a sickening amount of someone's shed skin.<i>Yuck, can't these lizards at least pick up their discarded skins? Ah, well... at least they're nice enough to me.</i>I think as I try to maneuver my way around the thin, white sheets of pure nastiness. Samuel seems to have woken up earlier than I have, and the same could apparently be said about William, which was kind of strange. I continue trying to not touch any of that shed skin when I accidentally trip over a loose plank, and end up face-first in a pile of old lizard skin. I was too stunned to scream, however, I also noticed that there was some sort of lump, rectangular in shape that the skin was covering. I brush the skin aside, and thankfully succeed in not vomiting, and notice a book... William's journal... out of sheer curiosity, I turn to the last page, and finally figure out the who and the why of the gross, skin-covered floor. Apparently, William went through some sort of change... one that may or may not have happened thanks to the ninetales from last night. I then start asking around the guild if anyone's seen William, with the journal still in hand. Eventually, I was pointed to this smeargle, who looked beaten up and bloody as if he was hit by an entire pack of rampaging tauros. ""William?"" I ask the smeargle, who, in addition to looking beat-up, also looked somewhat forlorn, as if he's been rejected by someone... or possibly the entire guild. ""William, it's me, Bonnie. Um... I'm sorry for reading your journal, but, that's how I know that you're you. I mean, who would make up getting changed into something like that, right?"" I then add, trying to put a cheerful spin on the event, but I probably failed. Either way, I had a plan to at least allow Samuel to finally put two and two together.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Somehow, I found myself waking up right on the ground, next to Darkrai... who actually isn't here anymore for some reason. ""Ugh... that was the worst..."" I comment, noting that even the rocky peak of Mt. Dragoncoil was more comfortable than this ground, which, looked somewhat dry for whatever reason. If I had to guess, I would assume the ground ended up like this thanks to the large number of fire-types living right next to it. Terra was also gone, but, there was a letter from her stuck to my face. It fell off quickly enough, and thankfully was still legible.<br/>'Team Scarab:<br/>thank you all for helping Blaze and I out of this situation.<br/>if I have any more problems in the future, I'll be sure to<br/>ask you guys first! In the package is something that may<br/>help out Josh... as well as a couple items for the rest of you.<br/>Consider them your reward, oh, and, the 1000 poke as<br/>well... that was from Blaze.<br/>~Terra'<br/>I then look around for this mysterious package, only to notice a sleeping delibird right next to our group. His bag appeared to be filled to the brim with things that... well, I assumed from his blue hat, were supposed to be delivered to various pokemon around the area. I try to wake him up, and after a bit, he screeches as if someone was attacking him, and I barely evade an icy wind from his beak. Then he comes to his senses, and says ""Oh, um, delivery for Team Scarab... is that you guys?"" I nod, and look over to my teammates, who were still asleep, and he drops a square box of some sort, and flies off as if he was in a hurry. ""Um... guys? I think we should take a look at this,"" I then say to my group, showing the letter while next to the box, that is, after I make sure everyone's awake."

I see you've found my journal, otherwise you'd probably call me a fraud,"" I say. ""Samuel's not so keen on believing me, though,"" I mutter, wiping my nose. A salamence, in fact, the one we met in Sunswept Plains, greets me. ""Hey! Welcome to the guild. Are you okay? You look like someone who made Martin a little angry,"" he says cheerily. I say ""Actually, we've met once before. Um... I'm William. The guy with the team that you met? Yeah."" ""That guy was a kecleon, though. You aren't a kecleon, I'm sure of that,"" he says. I sigh, and he leaves. ""See? No one thinks I'm not who I am,"" I grumble.<br/><br/>""Might as well try and see if I can still fight... what mission should we take?"" I ask, looking at the mission boards. There was one where someone claims that they found a new dungeon. ""A new dungeon, huh?"" I say to myself, taking it. They compared it to a 'sludgy swamp', so I decided that's what I would call it. ""Found somethin',"" I say, taking it and climbing up the ladder, finding the wooper that put up the mission, and charging off towards whatever direction the paper demanded. ""Let's go exploring! Exploring exploring exploring!"" the wooper chanted. When we got to 'Sludgy Swamp', we began walking around. The first few steps I took got my feet and ankles wet, and then my shins, and eventually it became a little hard to walk. I see a ditto... uh... sliding, sort of, across the ground, and I threw some mud at it to provoke it. It looks at me, and uses Transform, and changes into a smeargle. I get an idea, and use Sketch after he used Transform, and I get Transform. Wooper jumps out, uses Ice Punch, and hurts the little beast, and then makes him faint using Water Gun."

""Celes, as you know, thinks they aren't evil."" I continued, slightly pissed. ""YOU go explain to her intentions don't mean morals, 'cause I didn't even bother last night."" Being a Magnemite, gesturing and making facial expression was quite hard. All I could do was squint my eye and wave my magnets around, though my voice said it all. I still personally wanted to kill them or at least make them go away. ""Aye... it is a good idea to keep former enemies bound and gagged, since we don't know what they'll do in the dead of night.""

Instead, I hear the charmeleon say ""Look... just check that void crystal you returned. If we're lying, then the place should be back to normal, but if we're telling the truth... well... you three may have made their problem ten times worse,"" before I could add anything to that, he adds ""I know where I'm unwelcome, and I've got a lot of work to do,"" they then summon up some sort of dimensional hole and jump through it, with the hole closing immediately afterwards. I was speechless, I've never seen anything quite like that, let alone hear them so casually put their own trust (which, might I add, I still have none of in them) on the line. Eventually, I bring myself to say something, after nodding to M who said that we should work today. ""Um... so... to the Deep Ocean, then? Just to make sure it's back to normal?"" I sounded a little unsure of myself, but, if that was some way of checking their honesty, and, to be honest, I wouldn't mind knocking them out a second time, then, that should be our next destination... right? Thankfully, I still had the Dive HM, and there shouldn't be too much trouble with wild pokemon given the issues the place had not even a day ago. I remember M's talk about their intentions... what exactly DID they intend to do with those void crystals? I look around for Kamina, making sure that the entire party is together before we head off.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Right,"" I respond to Josh on the subject of opening the box. I then immediately open it as if it was a birthday present from my friends, and, once I was done, I reveal a very bright, white armband... apparently for Matt, a strange purple orb, apparently for Josh, some giant yellow flower apparently meant for Hex, a very comfortable-looking hat that appeared to be for Daniel, and finally some sort of weird, red bracer that looked like it was for me... oh, and the money, as well, of which, I gave 500 poke to Josh, and 500 to the delivery bird, whispering ""Please give this to my mother... um... she lives at 313 Sunridge. Yeah, I know it's a bad part of town, but, that's why she needs the money, so we can actually live somewhere where we don't have to dodge a sucker punch every time we head out of our door,"" I hoped that nobody else heard that, and thanked the fact that the only member of our team who actually had large ears, Blaze, was not here at the moment. The delibird shrugs, and flies off with the poke in... er... wing? It didn't matter too much, that is, as long as he can make it out of there without getting knocked out and mugged. After handing everyone their stuff, and keeping the red bracer, which was kinda heavy, I say ""So... to... um..."" I start to say, with Static adding ""That northern mountain place?"" I nod, and say ""Yeah, there..."" I then turn towards the village we were just at, and say ""This way should be north, so, follow me...?"" I was still fuzzy on the whole Darkrai thing, and couldn't remember for the life of me what he said with such enthusiasm, but, thankfully, Static remembered the direction north, so that's where I headed... somehow slower than usual.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>William takes a mission involving Sludgy Swamp, and talks about it as if it was a new place. I mutter ""I knew about this place before the mission... I would have sent us here anyways..."" as we head towards the swamp and are followed by a wooper, who was way too excited to go there. Almost the instant we arrive at the swamp, a ditto tries to attack us, and copies William... only to get knocked out by out client before I could even do anything about it. William, himself seemed to be working on some sort of painting while the two fought, and I wondered if that was his Sketch move in action. ""So... what did you sketch?"" I ask William, walking up to him and also walking into knee-deep swamp water. It seemed as though he sketched himself, which was weird... can you even sketch the move Sketch? And if so, what would happen? Nothing? The smell of the place got to me, and I look to my left to try to puke, but notice that someone else already did... or, more accurately, I notice that a grimer was there, stalking us for some reason. I hold my nose, and say ""Um... William? Whatever you just sketched, would you mind using it? This thing smells too horrible for me to get close to it, let alone attack it!"" I sounded funny with my nose plugged, but it was the only thing I could do to keep my breakfast where it belonged. Thankfully, our wooper friend didn't have much of a nose, and had no problem using ice punch on the purple pile of putrid that decided to attack me with sludge. I wasn't able to dodge the attack, being preoccupied with not puking, and it landed right on my face, grossing me out even further. That gunk smelled just as bad as the sludge monster that was in front of me, but, it was closer, and probably literally destroying my nose at this point, and I couldn't really do anything about it, either, mainly because the 'water' was almost as bad. I made a 'help me... please!' expression on my face while I look back at William, and still remain unable to attack this thing."

I use Ice Punch on the grimer, which was my taking any heat on the top of my head away from it, and sort of 'punching' the grimer with my forehead, and then Water gun, and it looks nearly fainted.

I continue to wait for a response as I continue towards the beach, with everyone in Treasure Town still in some sort of uproar about something, which was a little suspicious. I overhear things about the ocean getting swallowed into some sort of evil abyss, and how that's causing several thousands of water-type pokemon to lose their home... odd... didn't we just fix the ocean? I finally make it to what used to be a beach, and notice a distinct lack of water... somehow, that portal, that anomaly, made it all the way to Treasure Town's shores. The unfortunate pokemon that didn't make it out appeared to be falling into the nothingness, and possibly endlessly, as well.<i>Well... this was unexpected. I didn't think that the portal would reach all the way here, ESPECIALLY given that we should have fixed the thing yesterday.</i>I think as I stare into the void. Something about that place seemed familiar, somehow, and then I recall my dream.<i>This was that place! This was the weird, grey dimension that I saw in my dreams!</i>I think as I continue staring, this time with a look of fear on my face. Sure, it was familiar, but that didn't make it any less dangerous. I take a step towards the portal, and notice that I've stepped on something. I look down to see some sort of strange charm, and a note.<br/><br/>'If your more normal friend wishes to follow you...<br/>he'll need this. It protects him from the<br/>corrupting powers of the void.<br/>~Anonymous'<br/><br/>I then look at my team, and show them the charm, eventually handing it to Kamina, knowing that M was immune to at least some type of corruption... I wasn't exactly normal, and neither was Celes at this point.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Yeah, I'm fine,"" I assure Josh as I continue my sluggish pace, occasionally stopping to take a breath, something I never did up until now... though, even with that, I almost felt as though I could hit harder than I used to, or, I at least felt as though this thing will help me hit harder in some way. A long trip to the mountain was made even longer from my lowered agility, and the first thing I noticed once we got to the mountain was an opened door, and a few totems which appeared to be broken, that, of course was actually a good thing given that there were also a few broken darts lying on the ground, presumably tipped with some sort of poison. ""Well, someone certainly was here before..."" I comment, looking around to see if there were any traps that were still going to trigger. Thankfully, it didn't seem as though that was the case, so I continued onwards, noticing a stone floor that sunk a little bit when I stepped on it. I could hear some air coming out of one of the two places where the totems used to be, but nothing else came of it. Switches, though? Just to get in? These orbs really must be valuable if they'd trap the entrance to the place where it's being held. I almost expected the door to close, yet, it never did, allowing me to continue through it, hitting a few more of those switches as I do so. ""Well? What are you waiting for? This trap's already been triggered, so, nothing to fear, right?"" I say to the rest of my team with Daniel saying ""Sure... I'd still rather just fly over these, you know, just in case,"" he then flies over to me, and I look forwards to see a machop blocking the path up the mountain, though, he probably didn't even know, given that he was fast asleep at this point.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""YOWCH!"" I shout as Tini's weird move hits me in the face. The good news was the fact that the move removed the sludge on my face, and made the place smell better... but the bad news was that it felt like a ton of tiny skarmory blades were flying across my face. Tini used the move a few more times, which only added to the pain, and by the end... I was feeling really weak ""Ugh... thanks for caring, but please, no more... it hurts..."" I say to Tini as I trudge onwards in the swamp, nearly losing William as I notice him transform into a ditto. Our wooper friend didn't seem too fazed by the attack, and seemed to be enjoying the smell, as I would if I wasn't brought to the brink. As I continue to follow William, I notice fewer pokemon attacking us... maybe they were all fooled by William's disguise, and thought that we, by extension, were residents of the swamp.<i>Yuck... I could never imagine myself living in a place like this. I am glad, though, that nothing's attacking me anymore, Tini included.</i>I think as I continue. I see some strange object shining in the muck, off in the distance, and was instantly drawn to it. I'm sure someone would have stopped me earlier, but our wooper friend seemed more occupied with humming some weird song. As I go to pick up the orb, I hear a weird gurgling sound from deeper in the swamp. I turn towards my teammates, and smell something just... horrible, again. ""Sheesh, what's with the horrible smells in this place? I mean, I know it's a swamp, but it didn't have to go overboard!"" I comment, noting the smell, but not noticing the trio of muk that appeared behind me as I was saying that."

""Watch out!"" I say. Oddly, I hear ""Let them kill her! She's no use to you anyways!"" and I look behind me. ""What?"" I ask. I turn back, and run in front of Bonnie, pushing her out of the way, but the muks had already made a triangle around us. I say ""Stop!"" as I stretch into one of the muks. I use Sludge, and then push down the muk that was about to use Sludge Wave on Bonnie. I suddenly get hit by Gunk Shot, and I say ""Eugh!"" as I change into Wooper, and use Ice Punch on the biggest muk. I feel much stronger as I hit him, but he didn't look too hurt. The real Wooper comes in and we gang up on one of the smaller muks, using Ice Punch as it uses Mud Bomb on us. Samuel was helping distract the big muk so that Bonnie didn't instantly get knocked out. He was actually helping out with both of them, to be honest. Pretty soon, I get way too tired to continue my Wooper facade, and I see Samuel getting tired as well. Wooper was still attacking the muk, and he was looking sharp and ready to continue, whilst the muk was quite the opposite. It actually begins running, and Wooper just begins beating up the other one. I rest and regain some energy as Samuel was running in a panic with the big muk right behind him. I grab a stone, and throw it at the big muk, and it lands near Samuel, whilst the muk turns back and charges at me. For a while, we both continue throwing rocks at it and diverting its attention.

This made their trip to the mountain take even longer. They did eventually get there, though, and thankfully the entrance to the temple was right there. It seemed as though someone else had already been there, since most of the traps looked like they'd been activated already. Anthony deemed it safe, and went inside, setting off several pressure plates as he did so.<br/>""Well? What are you waiting for? This trap's already been triggered, so, nothing to fear, right?""<br/>""You don't know that, Anthony."" Josh said. ""Whoever was here might not have set off every trap.

""There may be some up ahead. Keep an eye out for anything that might be a trigger.""<br/>Up ahead, a sleeping Machop blocked the path. Matt simply went over it, trying not to wake it up.

Okay, so he was a Fire Type too. However, he was a Water Type first, so unlike every other Fire Type in existence, he didn't find the water scary. Sure, he lost a lot of power underwater, but he sure as hell made up for it with the mobility he got) weren't evil, they were just stupid for trying to save the world by doing something that could be interpreted as an act of terrorism without letting the local authorities know what was going on. Alright fine, so Hanlon's Razor was in effect, Kamina could understand that. However they weren't completely sure that those two had been telling the truth, so they were now going to go through this portal to...somewhere, to confirm their story. Although there was a problem; mainly that wherever this portal led, was a place that could harm someone there without the proper protection, kind of like a Fire Type underwater. But this charm thing was supposed to offer some measure of protection, and apparently Kamina was the one who needed it the most. Sounds simple enough. ""Onwards to adventure!""

After all; you can't cauterize a wound or but a bone back into it's proper socket without causing some pain. What he couldn't live with was that his attempt to save her seemed to cause more harm the good. When he saw the pain his minty breezes caused her (despite the fact that he only aimed one of them at her, and that one only grazed her), his little Dratini heart broke. His eyes started to tremble and water as tears fell down his face. It was a sight that could give even the most cold hearted monster sympathy feels. At that point, poor Tini felt utterly disgusted with himself. Even taking into account the part of his life where he was living on borrowed time, it was easily the lowest point of his entire life, at least to him. Low enough to cause the little minty hero of coo-I mean justice to question whether or not he was really worthy of the life that lord Xerneas gave him.<br/><br/>...So it's a damn good thing that he has the attention span of a newborn baby. Once the Muk started to attack, he<i>completely</i>forgot the last minute of existential crises that he had just gone through because hey; there were big meany heads that needed to be fought ""Fairy Wind!"" he cried as yet another sweet smelling gale was launched from his tiny body, this time at an enemy"

Why? Everywhere I looked, I felt some sort of evil presence. I had been through a lot, so it would be pretty stupid to think of Davis staring at me from a crowd of shoppers. This world was full of crap, so I didn't know what to think actually. Bad thoughts, maybe. If that wasn't enough, I thought I had also seen a shadow Pokemon trying to infect several unfortunate Pokemon, though really it was just a damn Grimer apologising for bumping into someone. Of course, I quickly dismissed my hallucinations and just followed Spruce, preferring to get this done and over with rather than dealing with my imagination. ""Nothing. Just an inside joke."" I said. I was supposed to add a supposed grin, but that didn't come easily for some reason.<br/><br/>That was probably because we failed to save the ocean. It wasn't climate change and that definitely won't happen in this day and age. Rather, we were witnessing something similar to corruption overgrowing the ocean and sand. We could see the corruption right through the water, with no blurring as if the image was on top of the water. It was quite a sight to behold, helpless against the many Pokemon who've lost their homes and possibly their lives. Quite a few Pokemon were just staring, even crying over apparent wraith of the Gods. Dark clouds gathered above us, as if the corruption had also affected the weather. How screwed would we be if that did actually happen? But, we had this problem right now to deal with... somehow.<br/><br/>""Spruce... I'm not sure what we can do anymore."" I tried to speak without sounding defeated, though I couldn't hide my feelings. ""For Arceus' sake, this is beyond our capabilities. What do we do, just jump in and hope for the fucking best?"" I knew it wasn't a good idea to let the pair go, but for some reason, I agreed to it last night. What was I think-<br/><br/>""...don't you dare do that."" I suddenly realised my mistake, pointing at Spruce as he gave Kamina some half-rainbow, half-grey ribbon."

Obviously, he'd get lost if I wasn't there to help... oh, wait, no, I'd get lost without HIS help... or maybe both? Either way, given that it didn't seem like Kamina was going to leave that place any time soon, I didn't really have a choice. I didn't want to abandon a teammate, so, I jumped in after him. Once on the other side of the portal, everything looked upside-down for some reason. Even looking back, Celes, the beach, and M were all upside-down. There didn't seem to be much here, save for one buizel who seemed to blend into the floating landmass we were standing on. ""TRAITOR!"" The buizel shouted at me angrily. ""Our lord and master wants a new home to replace his old one, and you're here to take the crystal, aren't you?"" I figured that saying anything would only make him angrier at me, and was proven right when I muttered ""Um..."" only to get some sort of weird, grey, watery attack sent right at me, though, for some reason, it didn't hurt that much. I tried a void whip, but it didn't seem to do too much to him.<i>What? But... the only other time this has failed... is he somehow similar to those fire types we fought earlier?</i>I ask myself as the buizel uses swift, aiming to hit both Kamina and I... of course, given swift's habit of never missing, I somehow doubted that Kamina would avoid the attack, just as I've failed, well, really, I didn't even try to avoid the attack, figuring it a waste of energy to even try to evade that particular attack.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Matt just floated over the traps and over the machop. I, however, didn't have the luxury of flight, so, I had to try to get past the thing without alerting it, somehow... which was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Yup, the second I got within two feet from the thing, it jumped awake, and hit me with a karate chop, managing to actually hit me on a somewhat soft(er) spot. Worse was the fact that I wasn't ready to counter anything, so I couldn't even do that. I settled on using absorb in some sort of attempt at getting back some that damage he dealt to me, however, I didn't really get back that much, and the thing was still going strong, ready for action somehow. ""I'm... no, I'm not done yet... I can still take you"" I say to the machop, knowing full well that both Matt and Josh were able to use psychic powers... help, however, didn't come in the form of either of them, but instead, Daniel, who used wing attack on the thing just after that, knocking out the machop, and getting it to fall off of the path, clearing my way up the mountain. ""Thanks,"" I then say to Daniel, who responds with ""Well, you asked, right? I'd like to think that I'm a part of this team, too, and that means helping you out,"" I smile at this and continue up the mountain keeping an eye out for any traps. Not too far up the mountain, I nearly run right into another door, this door seemed to lead right into a cave... stranger, still was the fact that, looking at the mountain, there didn't seem to be anywhere for a flying or floating pokemon to rest. I also notice a somewhat poorly-written, only barely legible, note.<br/>'Darkrai<br/>If you're reading this, that means that<br/>you're finally joining me in taking over<br/>this oversized, overhyped boulder!<br/>While that's certainly good news, you're<br/>probably wondering about this door, well...<br/>Ya have to find a pokemon that<br/>represents what this thing calls<br/>""The three key values"", '<br/>The note didn't say anything else, so I assumed that I had to turn it around, thankfully, that worked out, and some more of the message was found.<br/><br/>'Courage, Loyalty, and Wisdom.<br/>Now, since I'm only one pokemon,<br/>I had to find a couple pokemon from<br/>the mountain to help me with this one.<br/>Apparently... some random Riolu<br/>worked for Wisdom. Weird, 'eh?'<br/><br/>I then showed the note to Matt, and, through Matt, Josh, wondering if they'd have anything to say on the subject. Of course, I figured that they'd volunteer me for courage, given that I kinda just ran through those traps earlier. Though, the note seemed pretty vague as to what we were supposed to do with these individuals once we found them.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>My first thought was<i>When did Samuel get here?</i>Followed shortly by<i>We're done for!</i>When I finally noticed the trio of muk looming over our group. The wooper was really pulling his weight, heck, at one point, there seemed to be two of him, and Tini's fairy wind, while helpful in keeping their stench at bay seemed to be resisted by the sludge monsters. I decided to try to pull MY own weight this time and used frustration on the biggest muk in the group, remembering some deep, dark, horrible places I've been, and some horrible things that happened in my life. The move seemed to actually almost intimidate the thing, and that gave me some hope. ""Tini, try using that nice-smelling move, just without the damage... there's gotta be some way you can do that,"" I say to Tini, thinking that he might still be useful, and even more so than I thought he would be. The muk, apparently not wanting to attack me at the moment, slid over to one of the two wooper that were helping us, and used sludge... almost as if he didn't want to actually attack, or something. I knew, apparently better than he did, that a poison-type move like that wouldn't do much to the ground-type wooper. With the smell gone, I somehow felt ready to attack again. I used this to my advantage and attacked with frustration on the same muk, who actually flinched this time... though, not enough to give me yet another attacking opportunity, and he did, in fact, use mud bomb on the other wooper after that, but still... kinda strange."

She then turns and sees the buizel who said something about their master wanting a new home to replace the old one. She grinded her teeth a bit at this, her body glowing slightly in a white light as chains form around her. She remembered what those void pokemons said before... how Desia tricked Giratina into thinking that. So everyone thought that it was true and their world was ending when in truth it was the other way around. It was them trying to take over the world that did not belong to them when their world was still surviving.<br/>""Do you really think your old one would be destroyed, or is it someone behind all this that lied for that!"" she then yells, before sending the chains towards the buizel, hoping to hit him hard with them.

So while it did hit Kamina, it wasn't enough to make him even cringe. After all; he had spent most of his life getting beaten up just because he couldn't fight back. So his pain tolerance was far higher then it should have been. ""If you think such a weak attack it going to keep me out, then you are gravely mistaken!"" Shaking off the attack, he fired a round of Ember at the Buizel. ""You are also gravely mistaken if you think that we'll just sit back while you take over our world!""<hr/><b>Tini</b><br/><br/>Use Fairy Wind...but not as an attack.<br/><br/>While some could argue that Tini was...mentally handicapped, that wasn't the case. Rather he had a child like mind. While this did make him extremely naive and gave him an attention span so short, that if it could physically manifest itself, it would be too small to see with the naked eye. However this did come with one really good thing; a child's imagination. While most adults were bogged down by 'logic' and 'common sense' most children were free of such things. Because of this, they were often willing to try things that their elder's deemed 'impossible' due to some sort of limitation that they believed made it so...only sometimes a child got lucky and discovered that said limitation was all in the heads of their elders<br/><br/>So while most people would hear Bonnie's request and think 'that's impossible', Tini thought '...that's so cool! I wonder why I didn't think of it before?'<br/><br/>As said before; Tini isn't stupid, just naive and unable to pay attention to anything boring for too long. After all, he was able to learn two move that his species can't naturally learn (while he did get some help from his new Type, all it really contributed was making such a feat possible). So unlike other Pokemon who knew Fairy Wind and Aromatic Mist, he understood how those moves worked on a fundamental level. Because of this, he was less a 'retard' and more of a 'quirky genius'...maybe more 'quirky' then 'genius'.<br/><br/>'Now lets see...make Fairy Wind hurt less...but still smell good. Wait...Fairy Wind doesn't naturally smell like that. It's just carrying my minty scent. Now Aromatic Mist on the other hand...no, wait a minute, that's not right. My Aromatic Mist isn't the quite the same as an Aromatisse's Aromatic Mist. Their's uses a lot of different scents that their body can make at will. Mine on the other hand just uses my somewhat natural minty smell. So it doesn't work quite the same. Although...maybe I can work with this.' An idea in mind, Tini got to work ""Fairy Wind"" he cried out as he let out a gust of mint wind...however this time it didn't fly straight at it's target, rather it began to circle the little Fairy Dragon 'okay, that's step one. Now for step two.' ""Aromatic Mist!"" he cried out as his body let out a minty smelling mist. While this would normally spread out over a given area, that was't the case this time. What happened was that the mist was caught by the gale surrounding Tini. 'Yesssss. The mintyness is strong here. Now wrap it up for delivery!' ""Fairy Wind!"" he called out again, adding to the cyclone that engulfed him while also regaining control over the winds. With the mini storm back under his command, he began to compress it. Making the area the winds occupied smaller and smaller, until it was just a small orb just small enough to fit into his mouth. Visible only because of the mist that it contained. With his new move ready, he need only give it a name ""<i>Minty Mist!</i>"" he spat it out at Bonnie like it was a watermelon seed, breaking on impact and saturating both her and the air around her in a strong, but not overwhelming, minty scent. However, there was an unforeseen side effect; normally, Aromatic Mist bolsters the Special Defense of all who inhale it. This wasn't a normal Aromatic Mist though, It had been super compressed. What should have been enough mist to be lightly spread throughout a small house had been forced into the size of a small ball. At that high level of compression, things start to change; like what effect it has on the target. What should have just boosted her Special Defense had done something else; it had applied Light Screen to her, and not just Light Screen, but Reflect as well. Although as he was unfamiliar with both moves, Tini failed to notice this at the time"

Without Wooper, we probably would have been dead, some corpses to be dissolved by the putrid silt that has been contaminated by the toxic pokemon that claim Sludgy Swamp as a home. After... maybe, thirty seconds of tossing a pebble at a muk, my nose began to smell what was around me, taking in the semi-noxious fumes. I was about to morph back into Wooper, when there was a sudden minty smell. The muks dreaded it, as they were beings of odor and sewage manifested into a living, breathing pokemon, and they tried to attack the person who made the smell; Tini. I rushed in front of Tini, so that he possibly wouldn't get hurt as much when they unleashed their sea of poison on us. Right as they did so, I morphed into one of them, so that I wouldn't immediately faint as well, and I take in more of the sludge, eventually getting larger than the huge muk, and I force them to the ground and let everyone lay waste unto them. I also used a few other moves on them as they were down as they struggled to push my 'arms' off of themselves. I then kick the big muk away as I grab the small one and hurl him at a surprising amount of sinkholes. As he charged back at us, he lost his balance and tumbled into one of the sinkholes. I smile, and then suddenly get hit right in the face by the larger muk, knocking me out and forcing me to change back. I woke up in less than a minute, though, but I felt dizzy from the blow, and I couldn't change into anyone. I grab some more rocks and toss them at him as he chases me, the little pebbles affecting him slightly."

Despite his attitude and ballsy enthusiasm towards adventure, I was more focused on how he'd die from adventure. It didn't help knowing both Spruce and Kamina went against my advice, jumping into the... inverse dimension and flipping upside-down. Light didn't really work well, hence the appearance of large monolithic structures looking like randomly-growing crystals. Everyone else was running back and in shock, still unaware we were about to save their asses... maybe.<br/><br/>Letting go of previous thoughts, I decided to jump through as well. It wasn't easy actually jumping since I was hovering, so I lowered myself into the void - it was oddly a little disorientating, but I had managed to get the right way-up. So far, all good: floating islands made of... well, I had no idea. It looked like things you would throw away. The same went for the monolithic structures, becoming frames and husks of their former selves. Glass shards were floating everywhere, while a foggy cloud of depressing orange surrounded us all. Objects appearing as... boxes with wheels were flying, all broken and dented. Everything was frozen in time. It was definitely familiar. Maybe Davis could shed some light onto this, though that was out of the question.<br/><br/>""...what?"" Snapping out of awe, I had quickly turned around to see a furious Buizel yelling at Spruce for being a traitor... why? Things got more clear once it was apparent that Spruce's attacks were near-useless against the Buizel, instead giving him a red mark on his face. I was however annoyed he just decided to attack us out of nowhere... therefore, we would have to act in the same manner. ""Let's show that son-of-a-bitch some actual reasoning!"" I cried out, joining the others as a group and letting off a Sonic Boom. Which manifested as a literal grey wave you could see. It was noticeably slow, but it would hit the Buizel with considerable force. If only physics was like this in the real world, otherwise I wouldn't be laying on the ground."

How the heck do we get to these other platforms?</i>I think as I start walking around the place, trying to find some sort of way around or some sort of switch that might somehow do something. I accidentally walk off the edge, but, instead of falling into the endless abyss dotted with strange, things, and odd crates that seemed to surround this place, I fall onto a different landmass, this time, one that was connected to another one, apparently closer to our goal. I look behind me, hoping that the rest of my team followed, and am surprised to see a grey colored eevee, staring at me with some sort of blank stare. ""Giratina will make you pay for your crimes, traitor,"" he said to me with a creepy voice. He then attacked me with take down, trying to knock me off of this somewhat skinny landmass, but thankfully failing... and even then, only just. I attacked back with a vine whip, already knowing that void whip wouldn't do much. My attack didn't do as much as I hoped it would, and gave the eevee another chance to try to knock me into that strange void, however, just as he was running to pick up speed for his next take down, a crate flies in between us. The eevee hits the crate, and a bunch of strange metal cylinders fly out of it and distract the eevee long enough for me to use vine whip, and get farther away from the edge of this landmass.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I start wandering around, leaving a trail behind me, though, what I didn't notice was that apparently, I was revealing some more stone plates underneath the dirt as I walked. One of them, represented by the color orange, and a fire symbol lit up once I stepped on it. The orange light surrounded a square with sides roughly three feet in length, but, once I stepped off that vague area, the light stopped, and I looked back. ""What was that?"" I ask my team as I look at the trail, some of which was mud, and some of which was stone now. There appeared to be a thick layer of dirt over what looked like those pressure plate traps from earlier, save for the part that I already walked over. I go back to the plate, and it glows again, prompting me to reveal the rest of it. While I stood on it, there was a brightly glowing orange fire symbol in the middle that seemed to be etched into the stonework, and was difficult to see when the plate wasn't glowing. ""So... do you think the other pressure plates are hidden under dirt, too?"" I ask Matt, Josh, and Daniel. Daniel shrugs, and says ""Buried by time, I guess... wow, how old is this place?"" it must have been my turn to shrug, because I had no clue, but the place really did seem old... and if this place is that old, then... what of Darkrai and his friend? Obviously, being a legendary, Darkrai could survive, even in the toughest of conditions, but, it might be safe to assume that Darkrai's friend wasn't a legendary. He might not still be alive, due to either this very dungeon, or old age, and honestly, I hoped it was the latter, if that were the case.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Tini seems to have taken my advice, and used some sort of newly-concocted move he called 'Minty Mist', and he used said move on me. For some reason, I felt much stronger afterwards, and there appeared to be two barriers of some sort surrounding me, as well as a nice smell rather than the vomit-inducing stench of the swamp. William seemed to be doing a number on two of the muk, leaving me with one, particularly the one that I made cower earlier. I didn't let up, and used frustration on the thing once more, and it started running right for the hills. ""Ha! And here I was, thinking that we'd get slaughtered by these guys,"" I say as the muk escapes the fight. The ground then starts to shake and the other two muk melt into the ground in some attempt to escape us. ""Who dares to take the orb of light!?"" I hear a voice shout from somewhere. I hear something approach. I try to tell the newcomer ""We're not trying to steal anything..."", I assumed it was going to be another slimy, stinky creature, but instead, a nidoqueen appeared in front of our group, and one that seemed a little different than most. ""Um... who are-"" I start to say before I'm cut off with her shouting ""I am the protector of the light orb, one of the four orbs of balance! Now, intruders, tell me why you're trying to steal it, and I MAY let you go,"" I then answer, somewhat mad, ""I'M NOT TRYING TO STEAL THAT THING! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS!"" I then add ""...sorry..."" in a tiny voice. ""Oh... well... in that case, I suppose you can leave, sorry about that,"" she then answers, sounding much more calm than before. What in the world is an orb of balance, though?"

Suddenly, I hear a shrill shriek, and by the sound of it, someone was trying to protect something. Suddenly, a nidoqueen approaches. ""I am the protector of the light orb, one of the four orbs of balance! Now, intruders, tell me why you're trying to steal it and I MAY let you go,"" she says. Suddenly, Bonnie screams at the nidoqueen, and I look at both of them with wide eyes, thinking that Bonnie just doomed us. I tap my fingers together as I say ""Um... w-we're just adventurers, our friend Wooper--"" and then Wooper cuts in. ""My name's John."" ""Oh, um... our friend John here said he found this place and he wanted to go as deep as possible into it, so we came here and that 'orb' thing caught our eyes. It's really hard not to miss, if you are protecting it, you should conceal it rather than having it in plain view,"" I say. John says ""We're sorry, we weren't trying to take it,"" and Samuel was nowhere to be seen. ""Where'd he go?"" I ask, and John asks ""Who?"" as I look around. The Nidoqueen, not paying attention to John and I, says ""Oh... well... in that case, I suppose you can leave, sorry about that."" I look at her and ask ""What is the orb, and what does it do?"" Nidoqueen doesn't answer as she stares at us. ""Go, or I shall hurt you,"" she growls, and I take out my badge. ""I've seen enough,"" John says and I press the button as it turns green, sending all of us back to the guild.<br/><br/>""Whew! What a trip, huh?"" he says. ""Uh... so, I have six Oran Berries and three gummis, so shall I split them up between the three of you?"" he asks, and I nod, taking my two berries and one gummi, and eating the gummi. ""Mmm..."" I say, the white gummi being bland... but, strangely, I liked it that way. The boring, normal flavor danced on my tongue. I get a few looks from the other guild members, and I sniff the air. We still smelled like Sludgy Swamp... at least, I did, since I was a muk right before we left pretty much. Tini's move didn't work after he used it, and after I had saved him."

She then saw Spruce fall down onto a land mass of some kind in the void. SHe rushes and looked down, and breath deeply when she saw that he was alright. Just then, a eevee went and attacked Spruce, trying to go and knock down from the weird platform that formed. All this place was too weird. She then jumped down and rushes at the eevee and uses her chains, grabbing the eevee and then holding it straight at her face.<br/>""Now hold it right there...."" she says before looking carefully.<br/>'Mister.

Don't you think that maybe you would still be acceped! Look at me, I am different then the others, but does that mean I am not accepted! Of course not!"" she says before shaking the eevee, looking at it straight in the eyes more, her message going and getting in more. She stares at it more.<br/>""You are being blinded by fake excuses, please just wake up and see the truth!"" she says, before feeling something in her. She then brought the eevee closer and.... used draining kiss, placing the kiss on it's forehead. She then moves back and stares at the eevee, dropping it on the ground. She stares at it, towering high compare to it, looking down at it. She wipes her mouth a bit. That felt strange.... she felt as if she took away some energy from that eevee there. She shivers a bit."

Or at least that's what it looked like to him. Since the Eevee was looking like the action was weakening him, and Celes seemed to be...sucking...something out of him. ""Clearly I've gravely underestimated females. To think that they could be capable of something so...so...I don't even know what to call this."" turning his body so that he was facing Spruce ""it's clear to me now that I also underestimated your courage; I know that I lack the bravery to be in a romantic relationship with someone capable of both mind control, and sucking the life force out of others.""

While most Pokemon would just fall flat (even from a Hyper Beam attack), this one had been forced off the ground and slammed on its back. ""Let's continue. The more we hang around here, the less secure I feel."" I said, not familiar with this world and fearing corruption on the same levels as in the normal world. Being a Magnemite, I couldn't 'fall' - rather, I had hovered down slowly with the others, onto another land mass much lower. ""Try not to trip. You don't want to fall forever."" I said, forgetting to add a sense of danger to my sentence. Though, we had bigger problems. We weren't faced with a monolith in our face or anything. Rather, we had an Eevee in our faces.<br/><br/>Naturally, I listened and tried to fight at the same time. However, I stopped short of another Sonic Boom until Celes... well, she went up to the Eevee, and murdered it with a kiss. I was speechless. ""Well, first monologue, second kiss of death. Let's get on with our adventure."" I couldn't really say anything else. Too much shock. I did remember what the Eevee said earlier, laying catatonic by a broken crate full of...? ""Spruce, what the fuck are they all trying to say?"" I asked with suspicion and a questionable tone, as every one of those Pokemon kept referring Spruce as some sort of 'traitor.' Maybe it was common tactic shared around to basically tell us to kill our leader. But, I wasn't paranoid.<br/><br/>Not really expecting a useful response, I decided to get over to the crate and pick up one of the cans. I was surprised I couldn't pick it up with magnetism. Instead, I had to float down and nearly touch the complex and mesmerising ground, pretty much hugging the heavy damn can. ""Class-0A-66 Emergency... Canned... Rations."" I read out, dropping it from the immense weight. The big bold letters definitely made reading harder. I could only recognise this from Davis, who showed me images of the Dead World. ""My, my..."" I was a step closer to knowing what this place was... or rather, what this place was inspired from. ""Whatever or rather whoever created this world... well, something's very off."""

Who, when, why!?</i>I think as I notice the eevee looking visibly, well, shaken and somewhat drained. Kamina then comments on how I have so much courage to stay in a relationship with her, but, more importantly, M asked me a question about these other pokemon. They kept saying things about me being a traitor... and kept saying something about Giratina, or 'our lord and savior'. ""I... have no idea what they're talking about, honestly,"" I answer M, who seemed to be fiddling around with that strange metal cylinder from earlier. There appeared to be some writing on it, but it seemed like gibberish... emergency something or another with random letters and numbers after that. I decided to move on forwards, not even realizing when I suddenly fall, or am brought to, one of those strange pillars that was originally off in the distance. I start trying to walk into the 'door' of the place, but somehow end up on the wall, instead. Walking on a wall of some strange pillar... I never thought I'd ever end up doing that during an adventure, and yet, here I was. I hear someone behind me, and spot a trio of void pokemon, a sneasel, a numel, and a pidgeotto were all behind me, and looking mad as heck. ""You're trying to ruin the great Giratina's plans, aren't you?"" The pidgeotto asks, with the numel adding ""All void pokemon are Giratina's creation... you are no exception. Why would you ruin your creator's plans?"" The sneasel looked like she was going to say something, but instead, used ice shard on me, assuming that I was some sort of traitor... I guess? I then attacked the sneasel, that is, after taking some decent damage from ice shard, with a vine whip, that being my only real attacking option at this point. Odd, though, was the fact that I could still hear someone else nearby, but I couldn't see them...<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The other two plates seemed to light up, as well, with Matt's glowing blue, and Josh's glowing red. Three symbols then appeared in front of the three of us, one of a fist, which was in front of Josh, one of an eye, which was in front of Matt, and the final one, the one in front of me, which was a fire-looking symbol. Said symbols then flew into the door, lighting it up for a moment before opening the door. The pressure plates under us then stopped glowing, to which, Daniel responded ""Well? It's obviously not going to stay open forever. Let's keep going, we don't have any time to lose,"" I nod and head towards the door... of course, I was still slowed by Terra's gift, but I eventually made it. I then waited for the rest, and I assumed that once the others made it here, the door would slam shut once more. Ahead of me seemed like a relatively simple cave, even if it was very dark. I noticed a torch, or, rather what was once a lit torch in front of me... but it wasn't lit. Something seemed a bit off about it, though, as it seemed to be covered in some sort of weird, white material instead of the usual charcoal that would go on the tip of a torch. Another note was on the floor, but it was unreadable due to the darkness. It seemed to have the same handwriting as the last note, that is, very poor and almost unreadable. Whatever was written on the letter must have been some way of lighting our way forwards... though, it didn't SEEM like there were any tricks this time...<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>The wooper, apparently named John this whole time, teleported us out as soon as the nidoqueen started to get difficult. Sure, I wanted to know more about the orbs, myself, but I wasn't suicidal! She looked a lot tougher than those muk, and she was willing to just let us leave, either way, our mission was over, and our reward was two oran berries each, and our pick from three gummies. William took the white one before I could, though, I'll be honest, even though my mother always told me that I was supposed to love these gummies, I never really liked them all too much. Instead, I went for the black gummi that John had. Thankfully, he managed to keep it from smelling like the swamp we were just in, and it tasted incredible. It was indescribable, and amazing. It was almost, but not quite minty, with a hint of a somewhat bitter flavor, as well as the usual sweetness that all gummies had. I wonder, though, why was it that I liked these black gummies over the white ones? I was still a normal-type, right? All buneary are normal-types, and gummi preference is decided based on type, which would explain why William loved his gummi so much. I tried to hide my love for the sweet, but... well... it was still obvious, even to me that I was trying and failing to do this. After I finish, I finally say something ""Hey, William, with your new 'transform' move, you can finally get the others to know who you are... I mean, you could turn into your old self, give them your diary, and then change back to your new self. Heck, you could probably visit your parents like that, and they wouldn't know the difference,"" that, of course, would have been the reason why I would have told him to visit the place, but, well, we went there anyways, and even got these gummies and berries in return. A win-win situation overall."

I just don't understand what is happening now..."" he then says, before Celes let out a slight sight.<br/>""Just let us go on in our way and go back with your parents."" she then says, before seeing the eevee cry a bit more at the mention of parents.<br/>""I... I don't have any parents... I was left alone all this time...."" it then said. Celes looked at it saddened a bit. All alone.... no wonder he would be affected easily by a lie like that. She though about it more. Her parent had some explanations to give her, that she knew about the whole powers she have, but this little guy would not be able to survive if he went on for too long. She lean down next to it.<br/>""I think I could ask my parents to take care of you if you want.... if you come to my world."" she then says to him.

I need to visit them anyway and I could try to get them to adopt you."" she says.

She sighed as she sees the sneazle, the numel and the pidgeotto. She quickly rushed forwards and then used swift towards the bird, hitting him straight on.<br/>""Hey! Instead of calling him a traitor maybe you should think a bit by yourselves of the situation! Giratina was tricked, but it seemed you guys are too blind to see it!"" she then says, a new anger in her eyes as she stand tall, full of energy, only wanting to strike those guys down now.

I walk to my parent's house, and transform into a Kecleon. I walk in, and look around. ""Mum? Dad?"" I ask, peeking around a corner. They were just barely about to eat lunch. My parents were old now. Near the unfortunate and unstoppable force of death. My vision goes blurry for a second as I see some black mist flood into the room, but my parent's didn't seem to notice.<i>Are they truly that senile?</i>I thought as I see the black mist engulf them. My vision goes blurry again and I sit down, taking a few breaths and looking back up. My mother stood up to get me the soup she had made, her body shaking and quivering from her old and weakened state. I stand up and say ""Oh, uh, mom, I can get it, just relax and enjoy my company,"" as I walk in and grab a bowl and pour some of the soup into said bowl. I go back to the table and begin eating, smiling at my parents. My dad, as usual, was crotchety and grumpy. He smiled for a second before continuing to grumble about his body. ""So, I have some news..."" I say. ""Um... I got a new job,"" I say, first. ""Oh, how'd you get fired from your old one?"" my dad asks. I cough, and say ""My boss fired me for asking him not to yell at me and publicly embarrass me,"" and then mom says ""I never liked that old zoroark. Money hog, he is..."" and I say ""It's at the guild. I rescue people and help them find lost things. It's great, I got this whole team of people helping me with the job and they're all friendly."" As I took a few sips of the soup, my dad asks ""So, have you found a girl yet?"" and I shake my head. He has a mighty sigh and says ""So I guess I'll die before I get to see any of my grandchildren,"" and I was offended by this. ""There aren't that many kecleon gals out there,"" I say, and then he soon gets in a fight with me about children and such. I put my bowl away, and change back into a smeargle. ""Imposter! You're not my son!!"" my father exclaims. I toss the book towards him, and pissed off, I leave, stubbing my toe on the way out and making it worse.<br/><br/>""Just forget them and let them die!

""You watch where you're going!"" I yell, and then the blaziken turns around. ""What did you just say to me you punk?"" he asks. I get up in his face and say ""I said watch where you're going!"" and he pushes me. I push him back and he says ""I'll give you a five minute head-start, start running,"" and I see him make flames kick up from his arms. I realize what I had just done and bolt away, taking five minutes to get back to treasure town. In less than one he's already caught up to me and grabbed me by the scruff of my neck. I kick around and try to get him to release me. ""I'm not letting you go until you say sorry,"" he says. I say ""Sorry!"" many times before he suddenly drops me, making me fall on my face.

Again, I threw the can away - this time, at the Pidgeotto while letting out a Sonic Boom attack. The can missed and flew back towards me, but I was able to catch it like a Frisbee.<i>Oh... now I'm starting to remember what fun I had with Davis.</i>I thought briefly, revisiting old memories of chucking metal plates before focusing on reality.

This seemed to distract him, but I couldn't really take advantage of this. For some odd reason, the other void pokemon didn't seem to know or really care at this point. The numel still seemed focused on me, but the sneasel started to focus on Kamina, using pursuit on him, as if he was going to run away, or something... clearly, someone doesn't know Kamina too well. The numel used ember, and, try as I might, I couldn't avoid taking damage from the attack, and unfortunately, it was more than I thought it would be. I counter with a vine whip, but it didn't seem like he even felt the attack, let alone was knocked out by it. The thing was laughing at his easy victory, and fired another volley of ember at me... this was going to end me... this was going to finish me off right here and right now, or... not? Somehow, the ember never came, and my vision was blocked by something, or someone. I stand up, and notice an eevee, or, more accurately, that void eevee from earlier standing between the numel and I. The eevee uses take down on the numel, charging headfirst into danger... and it still wasn't enough, but at least I wasn't knocked out, yet, right? I tried another vine whip, and the thing still didn't fall over. ""You think that eevee's enough to stop me? Pffft... I didn't feel his last attack,"" he says with obvious confidence.

When did this random void eevee switch sides, and why?<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The torch nearly explodes in white light, and once that dims down a bit, a bluish flame can be seen on the tip, a flame which served to light the cave. There were four more of these torches, each with different-looking stuff on the tip. ""...wow... water lighting a torch, and then this much light? What is this place?"" I think out loud as I make my way over to the note. It seemed to have the same horrible handwriting as the last one, which is to be expected, and it read...<br/>'Darkrai<br/>If you're reading this, then that means you're a bit more serious<br/>about following me into this dungeon.

The type it responds to can<br/>be determined from the torch's color... with the only weird one<br/>being that white torch... apparently, that one responds to water<br/>instead of normal or ice like I thought. Anyways, hope to see you<br/>soon!'<br/><br/>I then check the four torches more carefully, and note that one of them was green, another was brown, yet another was purple, and the fourth was pink for whatever reason.<i>Hmm... maybe if I try...</i>I think as I head over towards the green torch. I use Absorb on it, and a green flame bursts into existence shortly afterwards. I then thought about the brown one, and figured that its color might have faded over time... or... that either a rock, ground, or fighting move needed to be used on it. I hoped it was rock, given that rocks were pretty common, but if it was fighting, I suppose Matt could hit me with the torch, and I could use counter... but if it was ground, we were done for. We couldn't go any further, and the door back was already locked.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>After watching William as he stumbles through trying to live his life and trying to explain everything to his parents, I notice Tini ask why he'd need transform, assuming he was an outlaw, or something. ""No, Tini, he's not an outlaw... he just somehow, mysteriously changed into a smeargle... he used to be a keckleon, so, nobody thinks he's William, anymore, well, nobody but you and I, that is,"" I explain to Tini as I head back into the room, and check to see where Samuel might be. The beds were all empty, so he wasn't in the room, anymore. I shake my head, and look around the guild, trying to find him so I can explain what happened to William, however, I come across yet another mission statement regarding me and my father... I quickly take the mission statement off of the board, and run off into my room, hiding the mission under my pillow, just as I have last time. I then notice that bidoof's diary, again, and couldn't resist taking a peek. inside the 'journal', it said something about him finally getting to my father's house, and worse? Apparently he met the man, but, obviously, my father was too much for him, and he had to use an escape orb... which would explain how he was able to write this entry.<i>You know, for a bidoof, this guy's pretty dang persistant...</i>I think as I put away the journal, and, just in time, too, as the bidoof seemed to appear right after that... unfortunately, I wasn't as good at making it seem like I wasn't here as I thought I was, and he noticed something was off instantly ""Hey... who's been reading in my journal?"" He asks, though, I don't respond. He continues to ask around the guild, not getting a response from anyone, including me.<br/>'"

""This brown one is either Rock, ground, or Fighting, the pink one's Psychic or Fairy, and this purple one is Poison, Ghost, or Dragon."" He said. ""Now, there's only one way to find out which type they are."" He took the brown torch off the wall. ""This one here may give us trouble. Anthony could probably use Counter, but if that doesn't work I don't think anything else will."" He looked back at the other two torches, and placed Josh down in front of them. ""Try to light those two, Josh. I'll work with Anthony to light this one here.""<br/>Josh used Acid on the purple one, and Confusion on the pink one, hoping they would light.<br/><br/>Matt turned to face Anthony. ""Now, I'll have to attack you for this to work. Just try to aim for the torch instead of me.""<br/>As soon as he was sure Anthony was ready, he swung the torch at him."

He stood up, and then walked back into the room to get some sleep, but he heard the Bidoof ranting and raving about how someone broke into his room and took a look in his book. He sighed, got up, and then walked into the crew rooms, and then paced around. After a few restless attempts at napping, he said ""No sleep today, I guess. No sleep.""<br/><br/>He climbed the ladder to get to the Mission Boards and take a look at what he could get for a mission. There was a sketching of a sableye on the outlaw boards. Wanted for stealing items from the stalls, somehow slinking away without being caught. He had made some sort of suit that conceals the jewels on his back, and makes him hard to see in the dark, and he's suspected of stealing over 1000 pokê worth of items. He read the rest. 1000 pokê reward, minus the 'guild wages', that means 100 poke for each of us. He's apparently level 30, so the four of us could probably take him. He grabbed the mission, and walked outside in search of Samuel. Although, when William climbed the ladder to go outside, it didn't lead outside; it led to the basement of some building. The walls were stone, a fire was lit but there weren't any pokemon in sight. The floor was absolutely covered in hay, and there was an odor that was so putrid that it would make even the foulest, nastiest pokemon choke. There was a wooden door on the other side of the room, and a set of stairs. He turned back to go into the guild again, but the entryway was no longer there, so he turned back around, walking to the stairs and going up them. After he opened the door, and looked inside, he closed the door. The room it led to was the exact same basement. He went back down the stairs, and opened the wooden door.<br/><br/>He walked in; suddenly it got loud. An intense whispering of five voices drummed in my head, getting louder and more hateful as he listened. He walked down the corridor, and turned to the right; there was no other way to go. Another hall. He went down this one, turning to the right. There was a stack of hay, with baskets of apples. He took one, and ate it, and continued walking. Another right; this led right back where he was, and he thought<i>""Wasn't there only one way to go when I opened the door? Wasn't it only one hall? In fact, where was the door? Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming... I can float, and see the stars! Haha! A lucid dream. How wonderful.""</i>He began floating in the room, seeing a wide span of different stars, but then he suddenly dropped like a stone, and the stars are gone. He continued walking down the hallway...<i>""Hey, were the voices gone? Weren't they here a few minutes ago? I continue going along, but I see the same things. Haystacks with fruit on them in one hallway, and nothing in the others. Where am I?""</i>He pondered about the voices, and then thought to himself<i>""I've always had a voice in my head... describing every action I do, everything I say... and now it's describing me thinking about it describing my life...""</i>and then he realized, out of rational thinking, this couldn't be a dream. He felt the temperature, cold and damp, he felt the ground, stone cold and hard as rock.<br/><br/>As he realized that this could not be a dream, he yelled ""Hello? Is anyone there? Can anyone hear me? Help me, I'm lost! I don't know where I am or what's happening! My name is William and I live in Allure Town, someone help me! I'm not dreaming, this is real, this is VERY real!"" beginning to run down the hallways, soon shouting ""HELP, HELP! I'M REAL, I'M NOT DREAMING! SOMEONE HELP!"" and he heard a voice trying to calm him, and a ghost, maybe, stops him gently, and then he began panicking, hyperventilating and soon continuing to run. There was no hope. ""ANYONE, CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?! BONNIE! SAMUEL! MOTHER, FATHER! ANYONE?!!"" he screamed, looking all around as his vision gets blurry. He fell down again, this time unconscious. He was in a delusional fit; running around treasure town in a square for a while, then he began screaming until someone tried to help him, and he pushed past them, until he fainted of hyperventilation."

The plan was foolproof (not really, but you try telling the little guy otherwise)! Following William upstairs, and that's when things got...weird. William began wandering around, like he had somehow gotten lost. Next came the weird talk. It horrified Tini; he had seen this before ""no...he's got the crazies..."" squirming up to William, he tried to shake him out of it ""William! William! You have the crazies!

My ring of Pokes had disappeared, though I had a funny feeling they'd be back. ""Let's clip that guy's wings - he's too high."" And so, I tried chucking my can again. Unfortunately for me, it had suddenly gained immense weight. I let it go swiftly before it had a chance of dragging me down with it.<i>Well, it's not like that was going to work.</i>Doing this the old-fashioned way seemed to be the only option. ""Ah, hell."" I muttered, rubbing my magnets together (somehow in this place), sending a Thunder Wave towards Pidgeotto. Oddly, the wave was red and vicious, and I felt a bit of a jolt. I personally blame this world for it, though... it seemed somewhat familiar, I guess."

The eevee that apparently, was on our side now, used take down on the crippled bird, getting it to faint right then and there. Ignoring the fact that I was tired, I manage to use vine whip on the numel, who didn't seem to eager to laugh at me, and seemed legitimately worried, now. Between the chains, and Kamina's latest ember, the sneasel fell to the ground, fainted, leaving just the numel. ""Uh... um... Pat? Sam? Anyone? I... I get scared when I'm alone..."" the numel said in his usual somewhat dumb-sounding voice. He started to back away, as if trying to run, but... would my teammates allow him to? I decided to just stand there and wait for what my teammates decided to do to this numel. If they chose to let him go, then I wouldn't attack, but, if they decided to finish him off, then I'd attack, as well, adding whatever damage I could into the mix with another vine whip... though, I feel as though that might not do much, at all. I look over at Kamina, and notice something... off... he almost seemed as though he was ready to evolve somehow. I don't know how I can tell, but I can. ""So... Celes, M, Kamina, what do you think we should do? Should we let him escape, or should we finish this numel off?"" I ask my team as he continues running away, albeit very slowly.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Two more torches light up with fires of their respective colors, and, of course, lighting up the room a bit more. I was then bopped on the head with the only unlit torch, and used counter, hitting it back, and lighting it up. ""Ow! Well, it's a good thing I'm fire-resistant..."" I say as the fire hits me from my own counter. A door then opens up to the next area, and I head right on ahead... though, again, at my new, slower, pace. This next room seemed to have a giant net above it for some reason, as well as several odd devices lining the walls. There were several switches this time, and yet another note.<br/>'Darkrai<br/>If you're reading this, then you've passed<br/>through that last room.

A voice could then be heard in our minds... 'NO FLYING...' odd. The net resets itself, but, only after Daniel looks sufficiently shaken up from that. I then think<i>...least direct path, huh? I wonder...</i>I then head off to the switch on the far left, and step on it. It glows a bright golden glow, and nothing else seems to happen. Daniel follows, still looking a little scared of the net, and I step on the switch just to the right of that, which does the exact same.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>William woke up a little earlier than usual, and ran right outside, where I quickly followed. The moment I got outside was the same moment Tini started, er, wrapped himself around William and started shaking him. Tini was shouting about the 'crazies', and I had to believe him as William continued shouting as if he was all alone somewhere. ""William, snap out of it!"" I shout at William, hoping that he'd listen, and hoping that he'd snap out of whatever fantasy land he traveled to. I then walk over to the shop, and check what they had to sell. One of the heads seemed a little mad at me, but the other one seemed just fine. ""So... er, nicer head, what do you have for sale?"" I ask the head that wasn't trying to kill me. He responds by putting a box full of those strange small mirror-like things similar to the thing that I have... well, save for the fact that they were all colored differently. Unfortunately, none of the moves that these... TMs, as Ed calls them, had, actually appealed to me. Well, either they were weak and generally not a great move to have, I couldn't learn the move, or the TM was too expensive for me. I then walk back to William, and shout, again, ""William, snap out of it!"" I then just stand there, waiting for him to respond to my shouting, which seemed like an odd thing to do, but it really wasn't. A random meowth walks up to me, and says ""Okay, whatever I did that day to scare ya, I'm sorry,"" I, however, wasn't having any of the thing's tricks, and run off, this time to the guild, just to make sure that I was away from the hideous monstrous creature. Thankfully, either I stunned it with my screams of fear, or the thing didn't want to follow me, because I was all alone in the guild, well, not ALL alone, but alone enough."

He was also having a hard time catching his breath, and was still laying down on the ground, unable to stand up. ""Hey man, are you okay?"" a Pidgey asks, and he didn't respond. They began poking at him until he woke up. Once he did he broke into tears, terrified beyond belief from what just happened to him, and he walked back to the guild, shaking.

Well, I continue on in some direction until I run out of tower. I then look 'down', and notice nothing more than the endless abyss, looking forwards, however, I can see the altar where the void crystal supposedly is... and the void crystal, itself.<i>Were those fiends, those horrible pokemon, actually telling the truth?</i>I ask myself as I try to figure out some way of getting to the altar. I notice a bunch of crates floating, and somehow making a path to said altar.<i>Hm... this kind of thing reminds of Vine... he used to talk about this 'Mario' game all the time, and this looks like the kind of thing that would be in it.</i>I think as I look back at my team, sort of wondering what to do next. That jump was kind of far, and way too easy to miss. I then look for any other possible path, but, failing that, I start to ask M something, but then remember that I'm probably too heavy for him, let alone everyone else. I take a deep breath, take a few steps closer to the edge before backing away, and then, when I think I have enough distance, I start running, eventually breaking into a sprint, up until the last possible step when I jump, and... I miss. Thankfully, however, I had a vine whip ready, and I managed to loop that around the crate before I fell to my doom. I simply climbed up the vine whip, and try to balance on the crate. ""Well... looks like this is the only way across..."" I say more to myself than the rest of my team, who probably heard me as well. I then look for the next crate, which was thankfully much closer, and jump to that one without nearly as much difficulty. I nearly fall off the thing twice, but, if it was the only way...<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I continue walking along, trying my hardest to take the longest possible path there, though, I accidentally misstep press the wrong switch. The switches somehow flip ninety degrees, and, due to their slickness, I fall right into the lower level. The net also deploys, apparently just in case some flying-types, or psychic-types were trying to cheat the system, and just fly until the switches flipped back. Speaking of, once they did, the room got really dark, as, apparently, the only source of light down here was those switches. I look forwards, or, at least, where I think is forwards, and see several glowing eyes, which made me a bit uneasy. ""Uh... guys?"" I ask, wondering how to even attack these things... whatever they were. I try Absorb on one of them, and somehow manage to hit it, though, it doesn't seem to do much, as the thing laughed at the attack.<i>Why can't I ever fight in a well-lit room?</i>I ask myself as I try bubble, missing the mystery pokemon, this time. A few attacks, two licks, and one hypnosis are all launched at me, and, while the licks both hit, the hypnosis just flew over my head. I then prepare to counter, however, they all decide to attack Matt, instead, all three of them using lick on him, though, Daniel managed to get in the way of one of the attacks, and obviously didn't take much damage from it. Daniel then retaliated with a Shadow Rush, though, it missed, and he ran right into the wall. He tried a second time, and a shout of pain indicated that he actually hit one of them. The pair of eyes that went with the pokemon Daniel hit dropped to the floor, and the pokemon in question was probably knocked out.

Well, I think we, as a team, can take that thing,"" I say to William. I then notice Samuel on the other side of the door, and start to ask ""Why isn't he...?"" I then remember that Samuel can sometimes be as dumb as a bag of rocks, and say ""Oh, right, never mind, he still doesn't think you're really you... try the Transform trick on him... show him your old form first, and tell him how this whole... thing happened,"" Tini then came in with a frying pan, and said something about William going crazy. I shout ""NO! Don't! He's cured!"" I then add ""But... keep the pan, we might need it in the future,"" I'm sure Tini would understand, besides, he doesn't look like someone who would just throw away a frying pan if there might be some sort of use for it. I then notice one odd detail... the mission statement didn't say where the thief is! I was going to start heading out in the direction towards wherever that was, but, well, I can't do that if I don't know where this thief might be. I decide to head over to Samuel, and ask ""So... do you really think William's just missing, and the William we have with us, right now, is some sort of imposter?"" I kinda knew the answer would be 'yes', but, I was really just asking it to keep him in the guild longer, so we can possibly pull this whole Transform to convince thing off.<i>Here's hoping he'll at least trust the real William...</i>I think as I stand there, waiting for his response, and secretly looking out for that hideous monster that chased me back into the guild."

""Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"" I yell, falling backwards. Bonnie asks Samuel something, and he sighs and says ""Yes. He's NOT WILLIAM! He's an imposter!"" I take the mission back, and see 'Suspected of stealing from the Kecleon Shop in Treasure Town, and Ed/Bob's stall in Allure Town.' ""Let's go to the Kecleon Stall first and ask them about him. Hopefully we can find this guy,"" I say, going outside of the hideout, and I head down to the Kecleon Sh-... ""What's going on?"" I ask as I see a very disheartened group of kecleon put away their items, which were very few in number, into bags for each kecleon, made out of mats that they commonly use in dungeons. ""We've gone broke. We've been raided, our shopkeeps have been kidnapped COUNTLESS times, and that stall in Allure Town drived our profits into the ground, they blew us out of the water!"" they say, and a couple of the kecleon were crying because they loved working there. I ask ""Who's been raiding you?"" ""We don't know! He's as quick as lightning and sneakier than a... than a Kecleon!"" they reply, and I say ""It's probably this sableye guy; he was nearly caught at Ed and Bob's apparently, but he slipped away,"" and they sigh. ""Y-you don't mind helping us, do you?"" a purple kecleon asks. I look at them; 2 mats left to pack away. I take an apple, a TM, and some berries and fold up the mat, giving it to the purple kecleon, and he smiles, giving me 50 Pokê. I give it back to him, and go into Allure Town, getting some sneers from the people as they see my badge. I continue walking, even getting harassed by some of the rival guild members, but they eventually stopped.<br/><br/>I get to Ed and Bob's, and I ask ""So, have you seen a Sableye wearing some sort of outfit that makes him 'as dark as the shadows'?"" and Ed nods. ""Caught him in the act the other day! We ain't letting him hit us EVER again!"" he says. Bob glares at me. ""He isn't in cahoots with you, is he? I bet he is! Get out of here!"" he says, and I sigh. I head to the news station, which was right in the center between both cities... people usually sold their own things like human tech here, and as I'm checking around, I see him club someone down with a bag with some sort of sand-like material in it, and steal their stuff, then he runs away, climbing up buildings with a claw-like machine. So a thief and an inventor. I try chasing him, but he had already ran way ahead of me and went from building to building. I curse, and turn around. Samuel had been following me, and was now trying to climb up the building, but he fell back down after his first jump. I start going back to the guild, and see some dumb Riolu who was surrounded by a lot of police. He was hiding in a trash can, when he burst out and began to climb the wall only to get caught by a snivy, pulled down, shocked by many electric types and then taken away. ""Hah! Wow, what a dumb criminal,"" I say and Samuel nods as we enter the guild."

As for their current adventure; they were finally going to do something befitting a defender of justice; catch a thief. 'Yes! At long last, I'm finally going to get to beat up a bad guy!' Little Tini was quivering in excitement all the way. They went to go talk to some shopkeepers who gave them some details; the most important being that the thief was a Sableye. Then they left for Allure Town to go talk to the other shopkeepers. Tini thought it was a really friendly place; everyone who saw them made funny faces at them, so Tini being polite, made his own funny face right back at them. The shopkeepers on the other hand weren't so friendly; while they did confirm that it was a Sableye that was the thief, they also accused them of working with him. They did see him on the way to the guild however; using some strange gadget. While Tini tried to attack him with a Fairy Wind, he missed, so the Sableye got away. That made Tini sad...for 12 seconds, before he forgot why he was even feeling sad in the first place"

The Numel got a good thwack in the back of it's head, but it fell rather suddenly. ""Good riddance."" I said, praising Spruce somewhat. After what felt like minutes, we were by the edge of the tower's wall. The glass and everything else was quite grey, but as we kept walking, the 'ground' and windows slowly got darker. As if we were nearing something.<br/><br/>""Sorry I'm cheating, but blame nature for giving me the power to fly."" Rather casually and almost bragging, I left the tower and began hovering over the void to the other side. Looking down was... quite sickening and caused a bit of dizziness. Thankfully, I was able to retain my 'balance' and cross over to where everyone else was. By the time I got over, Spruce was on another crate, while Celes and her... new friend decided to stay behind. Kamina basically flopped and actually made it to the platform before I did, in quite a good fashion. It was my turn again, and I was floating over the void over to Spruce again.

""Well... here goes everything..."" I mumble to myself and whichever teammates were close enough to hear me as I take the crystal. The moment I do, a portal back to our world opens up behind myself, and Celes.<i>Well, that was nice of them saving the trip back.</i>I think as I head through the portal without hesitation. I hear an odd voice 'fools... what have you done...?' from somewhere, as I do, but, I simply shrug and continue through the thing. It seemed as though those two fire types were telling the truth about the void crystals needing to be taken to some special place, or, at the very least, they were right about them being corrupted, somehow. Once back, I notice that the void corruption has receded somewhat, leaving at least some ocean. I then take a look at the crystal, and am nearly hypnotized by the thing. Why the heck was I so interested in this thing? Was it simply because I'm a void pokemon? I then think about what those others said... traitor... that I was one of them... that I was, for some reason, or somehow, created by Giratina... that stuff couldn't be true, could it? I mean, I would know if I belonged there, wouldn't I? That place would feel more familiar than it did, and I would have trouble knocking out my supposed 'brethren', wouldn't I? These questions filled my head as I headed back to the guild... so much so, that I almost forgot to hide my explorer's badge from the Treasure Towners.<hr/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The others started getting attacked, and I noticed a familiar pale light which now emanated from our entire team. That light meant that Matt's reflect was put up. Josh's confusion seemed to hit, and seemed to deal a lot of damage to the thing. Not enough to KO it, but, close. Daniel decided to finish that one off with another Shadow Rush, leaving only one conscious. I prepare to counter whatever damage is thrown at me, and thankfully, get targeted for an attack. I try to retaliate, but, I seem to go right through the thing, whatever it was. It laughed at my failure, and put Daniel to sleep with Hypnosis. Thankfully, it didn't seem as though he was taking damage in his sleep, this time, so, at least we weren't up against Darkrai again. I try to use bubble, knowing, now that counter wouldn't work no matter what, but I miss, completely, and get hit with a lick in return. Something wasn't quite right about that... for some reason, I couldn't move after that attack was used... wait, no... I was paralyzed. ""This is getting bad..."" I comment as the mystery pokemon goes for another lick, this time on Matt. I tried to get in the way of the attack, but between paralysis and my new bracer, I couldn't so much as move. Daniel continued snoozing, and it didn't seem like there was much we could really do at the moment, but, thankfully, we were almost done with the fight... we could rest once we were done, and hopefully, I can rest off my paralysis, as well.<hr/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I run around town, following my teammates, and notice that Samuel somehow decided to follow us, again. He didn't do much, though, just try and fail to mimic our thief, who just managed to slip away from us. I recall the slight issues they had with Bob and Ed... well... mainly Bob, and notice that the place is quickly running out of stalls of any and all kinds, and I look back at the only store still standing, and whisper to William ""I've got this,"" I then head back to Bob and Ed's store, but this time, I use Attract on the two, who apparently start feeling the effects almost instantly. I then ask them ""I've noticed that you're the only shop that's still in business around here, is there anything more I should know about that?"" They both nod, and one of them (honestly, I can't tell the difference) says ""Well, uh, I'll tell you that he's not working for us, and, uh, we're kinda scared that he might put us out of business..."" he then sort of trailed off, and I think about an odd little plan, asking ""Do you have any lookalike items that you wouldn't mind losing?"" One of the two nods, and they both, for probably the first time in their life, work together and pull out a bunch of false items. I then instruct ""Okay, good, now put all of your valuables in another bag, and we'll put these fake items on the shelf... we'll even have a fake shopkeeper take over while you're safe and sound in Treasure Town's famous guild,"" normally, one of them would have complained, but they both agree, and head off to Treasure town. They did forget to put the lookalike items on the shelves, so, I do that for them, and head back to William. ""Okay, I think I've got a bit of a plan... I'm going to need you to use Transform on Bob and Ed, though, are you okay with this?"" I say to William as soon as I make it back to where he is."

""What? Why would I have to use Transform on them?"" I ask as I see them pass by. I transform into them and head with Bonnie to the stall, and I look at all the shiny things and I find some way to enter, and when I felt the items, they felt real. I see customers approach and ask for an apple, but I said ""Well, the real Ed and Bob are on a break, and I'm covering for them, and they told me that I should just stand right here and not to touch anything and if any customer approached that I should say what I'm saying now!"" instead, and they back off, leaving. I look at Bonnie, and ask ""What if the thief doesn't hit here again?"" and I look around. ""Or what if he notices that I'm not fighting with myself? Or that both my heads turn in the same direction every time?"" I ask. I see something out of the corner of my eye and I turn towards it. Suddenly I feel like I'm blinded as I see him approach quite quickly and suddenly when he ducks into the shade, he seems to disappear, but I knew where he was! I use Bite, but I hit nothing. I feel a heavy substance, like a heavy bag of sand hit both of my heads and he begins to loot the place, but it took a while. I wake up, and grab him, pinning him to the ground. ""Ooph! Hey, watch it!"" he says, trying to push me away. I push him into the ground, and he screams ""Ouch! Stop! OUCH!"" and I continue pushing him. ""IF YOU STOP, I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE EVERYTHING IS!"" he says. I hear him begin to cough something up before I stop pushing him into the ground."

He tried to use Recover, but he was unable to move after the Gastly's attack.<br/>Josh sighed. He would have to defeat the Gastly without Matt's support this time around.

I'll just be content with the memories of that adventure. So, what's next for us? Any chance we could go to another strange world like that one and get into some more random fight because...come to think of it, why did they want to fight us in the first place? Don't get me wrong; I understand the desire to fight in order to better oneself, but it seemed far more personal to them. I think they might have mentioned something about Spruce being a traitor.

Hiding behind one of the larger objects, he waited until William gave some sort of single that e was ready to catch the criminal (sure he was super excited to get into action, but he couldn't just blow his teammates cover like that). Once he heard the sounds of a struggle, he leaped out of his hiding place to assist the shapshifter. However he saw that William already had the perpetrator pined down. That didn't mean that he couldn't contribute though ""alright, you got him William! Now just keep him still while I give him a few good wacks with this"" he pulled out his frying pan ""I'll get him to talk.

I was already behind him floating above the ground. Suddenly, I felt spasms and chills within myself, almost at the core really... Spruce had taken the crystal. How did an action like that provoke such a meta-worldly response? Already I heard some sort of electrical powering-down noise coming from afar. ""Ach! Spruce, I think you just broke a system of power."" Turns out, the pair were right about the world turning to normal, as I looked out to sea and noticed how the sudden loss of colour was returned. Though, I still felt something was terribly wrong. We solved one problem, but experience has showed us how 50 more takes its place. For example, realising we just ended back in Treasure Town. You could certainly blame nature for not following our intentions. ""Right then. Let's get out of here quickly, not slowly."" I reminded Spruce, since... well, I didn't need to tell you.

Celes, after talking with her new... brother, I guess, just randomly kissed me. Sure, it was on the cheek, but it was almost enough to distract me from M's warning about Treasure Town. ""Oh, right, yeah, let's get outta here,"" I say to him as I start to run to Allure, instead of walking, like I was earlier. I then hear what Kamina had to say, and I explain ""Well... apparently, we're one step closer to saving the world, with this crystal... apparently, these Void Crystals need to be removed from their altars, and put into Giratina's grave in order to stop this whole... thing. Of course, the ones who told us about this can't really be trusted... then again... that whole thing with the ocean happened..."" I then find myself in Allure town, without any sort of issue, thankfully, and I notice a Meowth just sitting there, next to the guild, with a Treasure Town guild badge on his chest... that was going to get him hurt, or worse, but it didn't really seem like my problem at this point. My problem lied in whether or not those fire types were actually telling the truth about what we were supposed to do with these void crystals. Obviously, I wasn't about to just hand this thing over to them, with no issues, no, I'd collect these things on my own. I know I can trust myself, and if it turns out that those so-and-so's were lying about what has to be done with these things, then I could just do that myself, and maybe have to fight over one or two crystals instead of all of them.

[Anthony]

Thankfully, that last hit from Josh was enough to finish off the... whatever they were, and I started walking, or, sliding, or whatever around until I came across a ladder... odd... I didn't see a ladder to get down here. I head up the ladder, but hit my head on the top. ""Uh... looks like we're going to have to move something if we want to get out of here,"" I explain to Josh, Matt, and Daniel, or, more accurately, to Josh and whoever else was awake. I couldn't move anything, not without arms and hands, or at least some limbs. The same could be said for Josh, Daniel was probably too weak to move whatever was in our way, but Mat... he seemed as least somewhat strong, and had hands, as well as arms... plus, if those fail, he's got better psychic powers than Josh does. I go back to where everyone else was, and simply wait for the others to wake up, that is, after asking ""So... is there any special way to wake up Matt?"" For all I knew, Josh might wake up before Matt does, and might occasionally wake him up, somehow... of course, failing that, simply waiting might work, as well... though, the risk of that would be the rest of us falling asleep once they wake up, then having them wait for us, and falling asleep when we wake up.

Not too long after the thief hit, he was pinned down by William. Tini was trying to channel some sort of power into the frying pan I let him keep, and I just decided to use Frustration on the guy, which somehow hit him, despite normally being a normal-type move. [i]That's odd... how did that hurt him?[/i] I ask myself as the pinned bandit shouts ""ENOUGH ALREADY!"" Later adding to that ""I'll tell you where my stash is, just please, STOP ATTACKING ME, and GET OFFA ME, YA LARDO!"" I chuckle, and add ""And how can we be sure you won't just escape as soon as we let you go? How can we be sure you're telling the truth? He mumbles something, and I ask ""So... any ideas on how to keep this guy contained?"" Of course, he seemed trapped enough for now, but, we might want to take him with us to wherever he tries to send us later with whatever information, whether it be true or false, he tells us as a result of this. I try to think of some way to contain a ghost, let alone a ghost/dark type, and, after coming up with absolutely no solutions on my own, I simply wait for the rest of my team to come up with some answer... hopefully, one that will actually work. I wondered, after that, if Tini's frying pan will have any effect on the bandit, I mean, he's immune to a lot of things due to his typing."

I mumbled to myself, following Spruce who was faster than normal. AND HE KNEW WHERE TO GO FOR ONCE. I KNOW, RIGHT?! I was decently surprised, though still a bit doubtful. I didn't know why - I should've been trustful of friends. Though, I already had that trust broken before... well, I was surprised my Pokes were still floating around me, and I liked it how electricity began arcing around me again, rather than appearing like solid beams of yellow. Treasure Town felt warm at this time of year, and eventually a summery colour returned to its beach once we left. It was a shame though that we might not be acknowledged for our efforts.

""Giratina has a grave?"" I asked, trying to remember why he had one. He died probably, though one wouldn't exactly expect a legendary like him to die. I would die, but that was beside the point and something not to dwell on... got it? ""I still think it's some ploy by the pair. Can't always trust someone who's tried to kill you in the past. Chances are, you still got a reason for them to kill you."" I explained to Spruce's, who was questioning the nature of those two bastards. ""So, we gonna enter the guild or what...? We still got no idea what to do with that crystal of ours you realise, so we ought to investigate while in a safe environment."""

I get off of the criminal, and stop Tini from using his frying pan of justice as we discuss how to contain the thief. ""Well, we take this,"" I say, going down and grabbing his claw machine, and then his bag of sand. ""And then we use an escape rope to tie his hands behind his back, and make sure he can't get away. Maybe you could use attract and get him to show us the secret base out of love?"" I say to Bonnie, taking a 'fake' escape rope... well, it was a rope. A rope's hard to fake, and I tie his hands behind his back and help him out of the hole I pushed him into, and force him to look at Bonnie. ""Go on then. Use attract,"""

""Huh, is that so? Well I'm all for saving the world; I like it here. Or at least, I do now. Also, saving the world seems to involve lots of adventures, so I'm totally on-board with this plan!"" Kamina responded ""However, the idea of tossing a bunch of shine rocks into some dead guy's grave doesn't really sit well with me...and on that note; who's this Giratina guy? He sounds pretty important...and dead."" Before Spruce could answer him though, he overheard and reacted to Celes mentioning that she was going to take that gray Eevee (who he hadn't noticed came back with them) to her family to see if they would take care of him. While he thought it was very sweet...he also found it pretty horrifying ""Celes' family. That poor child; left with no other option then the stay with a family of mind controlling life suckers. Granted, I've fought in enough battles along side Celes that I can trust her even though she is the single most terrifying person, place, or thing I have ever met, saw or heard about...but this boy doesn't have the same luxury""

**Tini**

""Okay...I'm ready to-AHH!"" just as Tini was finished channeling the anguish of the victimized into his mighty frying pan of ultimate justice (if you can read that without even the smallest smile, then you have no soul), his concentration was broken when he heard the screams of the thief...well that and William kind of stopped him too ""awwwww...now I have to start all over again. But that would take too long, does anyone else have an idea"" that's when he heard William's suggestion ""A-Attract"" his eyes grew big and teary ""why Bonnie!? Why does someone as nice as you know one of the Three Unforgivable Moves?"" He then turned to William ""and William; why would you of all people ever suggest using one of those on another living being!? Why would you ever think of inflicting the crazies on someone else, when you yourself have suffered from it at least once!? Please...don't do this...either of you. I-I-I know you're better then this"" halfway through, Tini began openly weeping"

""I don't think so."" Josh said. ""We'll just have to deal with it for now.""
Matt sighed. ""Well, at least we have an exit."" He said. ""I honestly expected this place to be much less forgiving.""
He floated up to the top of the ladder and moved the object with his psychic powers.
""Now, I'm not sure if this will bring us to the end of that last puzzle or back to the start of it."" Matt said. ""Anthony, I hope you don't take offense to this, but if it does bring us to the start, would you mind if I took the lead this time? We may end up having more enemies sent at us if we fall again, and I'm less likely to step on the wrong switch.""
He hoped Anthony would understand. It was clear that Matt wasn't trying to offend him."

I made it back to the guild, with M, Kamina, and Celes, with no additional problems. Celes suddenly asked if I could visit her family, not knowing how to respond, I said ""Um... uh... well... only if the rest of the team comes, as well. I don't want to leave anyone out,"" I then looked into the guild, and, looking around, there were several pokemon choosing from the two boards, and, without any sort of issue, thankfully. A group of them, consisting of a bellsprout, a growlithe, and a slugma make their way out of the guild, and towards their new adventure. I found it a bit strange that the slugma didn't leave any sort of burn marks on the floor, given that the floor was supposedly made of wood, and slugma were apparently made of lava. Heck, normally, that would make more than a burn mark, and something more akin to a burn HOLE, given the sheer heat of the average blob of lava. M seemed to be messing around with his, or, rather, our money, as he made sparks fly between the coins, and Kamina, well, he was just being Kamina.That being said, I had to hold back a chuckle as he tried to warn Dylian about moving in with Celes and her family, instead, I managed to say ""Don't worry, Celes is the only one in her family capable of that... Dylian will be fine,"" of course, I was saying this, not only for Kamina, but also for Dylian who started to look a little worried until I told him that.

[Bonnie] 

I ignored what Tini had to say, simply responding ""It's kinda the only way we can do this,"" I then use attract on the thief, who starts looking at me as if I was a supermodel, rather than just some dirty, scarred, buneary. I then ask him ""So... where's your stockpile?"" And he must have heard it in a different voice, because he responded with ""Well... just, uh, follow me, beautiful,"" I try to keep a smile on my face, and he somehow wriggles out of William's grip, and starts walking. I gesture for everyone to follow me, as I follow him. We head a ways out of Treasure Town, and even back towards Sludgy Swamp... I could tell because the smell started getting worse, and, after a bit of walking, he pressed some button in a rock, and a weird doorway, of sorts opened up from the ground, itself it seemed. I waited for the rest of my team, and secretly called for the Treasure Town Police Force, my badge showing them my location before I headed down into the, er, lair, of this strange sableye who still looked as though he was attracted to me. I try to make it look like I don't hate him, and he leads me right to a giant cache of items, varying from berries and seeds to orbs and TMs. Obviously, the whole thing was also littered with various pokedollar coins, with values ranging from 1 to 1000 each.

[Anthony]

""I guess, but, don't you have to drag around that bucket, and somehow find a way to not levitate?"" I respond to Matt's, er, response to me messing up. I thought I had this puzzle down, but I guess I didn't. Either way, this trap door led us back to the start of the room, and though it was dim, any light felt absolutely refreshing after our earlier experience with the gastly under the floor. I then wondered _If the light isn't too bright... why didn't they come up to fight us while we were doing the puzzle? Is there some sort of law, or some set of rules for pokemon on this mountain?_ I then waited for Josh to start, though, I waited near the tile that I started off on last time. I then kind of wondered who, exactly this 'friend' of Darkrai was for a moment... he seemed to know about the net thing, so, perhaps some sort of bird, or other flying pokemon? He's old, so, if he's not dead, then it's likely that he's a legendary, as well... so... something like a moltres, or articuno, maybe? Then again, he knew about the whole water torch thing, that is, after telling us that the place seems to change depending on what your party is capable of... which legendary bird was it that could learn water-type moves...? The answer was on the tip of my tongue, and it was bugging the heck out of me as I continued to wait for Josh and Matt."

I've been acting weird lately. So, while we were idling outside the guild, I finally took note of the others. Especially Kamina. ""Yep."" I agreed with him, grinning with my eye. Well, showing pleasure in my eye anyway. ""Ever heard of 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?' It's like that, though 10 times worse. He'll be raised fine and well though. "" I joked, entering the guild with the others and chuckling. Though, he probably would be raised well - he'll get in line and listen to his elders.

So, we were outside the guild, waiting and talking. Inside, the guild was always busy with Pokemon dropping in and out, leaving missions and requests while others checked in and out. Though, this time, things were a bit quieter, no noise spilling out onto the paths. Nothing exactly interesting going on in there, as if adventure had it's own holiday. Since we were left without something to do, we would follow Celes' suggestion and visit her family. ""Eh... sure, we've got nothing better to do. We really need a break from saving the ocean."" I said, rather apathetically... trying to look for anything interesting around us. There was nothing, aside from an arguing couple walking beside us at one point."

He looked at Celes, worried. Celes shook her head there.
""Seriously... you think all my family do is being strick? They are loving and caring, though sometimes too overprotective. It's the reason I left them before. Dylian, you will be alright, don't worry."" she then says to the little eevee, who calms down a bit. 
""I... I am still scared."" he says. Celes then moves close to him and hugs him with her ribbons.
""Everything will be ok, I think you will do fine in my family."" she says calmly. She then lets go slowly. She then looked at Spruce, then Kamina and M.
""And seriously...  mind controlling?"" she says before letting a sighed. ""There something about charming someone so that they listen that works, get that?"" she then says.

I look at all the riches, eyes wide. 
""Wow... how long has this been going on?"" I ask, and the thief says ""Years,"" and I walk over to the pile of items. Almost every TM was here, and every orb was there. 
""How much do you think this is worth?"" I ask, looking at all the stuff. ""Maybe we can get the kecleon business back... in business... with all of the pokedollars and items!"" I say, smiling. I liked their shop more than Bob and Ed's, since at the Kecleon Stall, you weren't harassed by one of the shopkeeps and by everyone you pass. ""Maybe I can find them; they just closed their shop in Treasure Town..."" I say. ""But... if they aren't a business anymore, other than in dungeons, then all this stuff will go back to Bob and Ed..."" I mutter. Something in the back of my head tells me to take the gold and other items and run for it, and my heart begins thumping and I grab two TMs, three orbs, a few berries, and 5000 Pokedollars, and I run outside to see the police. 'Keep running!' a voice tells me, and I was afraid, and I dropped my stuff.
 ""So, you're the thief... come with us, and make it quick,"" they say and I pull out my badge.
 ""I-I just wanted to return some stolen items to the Kecleon Stall back in Treasure Town,"" I say.
 ""We'll take care of that,"" they say.
 ""If they aren't there, then all the stolen goods go to Ed and Bob,"" they then say. I let them go in, and I bolt back for Treasure town and on my way I see the kecleons I helped out earlier.

""Set your shop back up! Hurry, we found the thief's lair and if you aren't set up, then it will all go to your competitors!"" I say and they look at me, some with disbelief, and others with excitement. Eventually, all of them are running back for Treasure Town to set up again, and I look back the way I came. I begin running again, but I couldn't find the lair again, until I eventually got back to the police taking out heaps of Pokedollars and TMs and orbs and berries and everything that was in there."

""Ah, I see; so it's not a person's mind you control, but their heart. It seems that I gravely underestimated the full extent of your powers. I'm just glad that you're on our side, the idea of fighting you in battle is something I don't even want to consider. I'm glad that your powers are unique to you and you alone; I'd hate it if there were an entire race of Pokemon who could do the things that you do. Well, with that out of the way, what's our next adventure? I'm getting closer to my rebirth into a Gyarados, I can just feel it!""

His pleas fell of deaf ears 'was...was this really the only way? Did we really have to resort to one of the Three Unforgivable Moves? Was there really nothing else we could try?' Watching Bonnie use Attract on the thief seemed to sap all the excited energy right out of the little guy, and unlike before, his short attention span didn't shake him out of it this time. So he silently followed Bonnie and William as they themselves followed the thief to he stash of stolen goods. There was someone suffering greatly so close to him, and yet Tini could do nothing to save him 'even if he is a bad guy, he doesn't deserve this. _No one_ deserves this' Things became a blur to him, as his body switched to autopilot. 'We...we are the good guys...right?'"

He looked over all of the switches for a moment. He wanted to make sure he had the least direct path through here.
""Alright, I think I've got it."" He said after a few moments.

Matt did the same thing he did last time, dragging himself across the ground while pulling Josh along behind him.
""How many traps do you think we have left?"" Josh asked. ""I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to get sick of this place.""
The lives of millions of Pokemon would be in danger if the orb got into the wrong hands, so it probably wouldn't be easy to get to it. How many puzzles would they have to solve, though?"

Xeno struggled to process this new environment, not knowing there was a world beyond darkness until now. This new place was so alien, and open, there was no roof to cling to. His claws slashed through the scorched earth of the desert, the sableye still in a panic from being flushed from his home. As he ran one of the green stalagmites moved, turning to face him which only caused him to run faster. _Path. Path is like tunnel with no roof. Stay on path,_ he thought to himself, rushing across the terrain.

----------------------------------------------------

Eventually Xeno's run had led him out of the desert and into a forest, the concept of a forest being unknown to him but he was thankful for the shade. Out of breath Xeno leaned against one of the trees, his breathing raspy and congested as he tried to calm himself. Involuntarily he fell to his knees, hacking as black slobber escaped his mouth. Coal dust was a clingy substance, that was for sure, but the taste was more than enough to keep him coming back for more. 

After his coughing fit Xeno pushed himself to his feet and wiped his mouth, grunting to clear his throat before getting his first good look around. He was still on the path, but it was now surrounded by soft green stuff and large, brown, stalagmites. ""What is this?"" he breathed, scratching the corner of his crystal eye while trying to understand what was around him. He spent a few minutes like this, just staring at his surroundings before eventually his eyes fell on the pathway again. _Right_, he reminded himself, moving forward again in a now much calmer manor.

-------------------------------------------------

Upon reaching Allure Town, Xeno felt more lost than before. There were little caves everywhere poking out of the ground, and strange pokemon that weren't trying to tunnel or sleep walking about. Standing in the middle of the town square Xeno remained motionless, no idea what to do as pokemon passed him again and again. A few gave him odd looks but none tried to attack him which only made Xeno more paranoid. _Should I run? No, they'll go after me for sure then. Stupid, I walked into their territory. This is horrible; maybe I can get away when none of them are looking,_ he thought, dreading how fast some of them might be able to run or even fly."

I followed behind Celes as she berated us for saying that she had mind control... which was probably true, but, instead of bringing that up, I just said ""Sorry, Celes... sorry, Dylian. It was just a joke, anyways,"" I then just looked around as we continued towards Celes' house, with whatever few wild pokemon we came across actually running from us rather than fighting. *Why are they running? Is it that we're really that much stronger than they are?* I ask myself as I continue along the dirt path to Celes' house, which was apparently not a part of either Allure or Treasure Town. Of course, I didn't really complain, mainly because it was sunny and warm out, and I really appreciated the sun at this time. There really wasn't too much to this path, save for it leading out from Allure to Celes' house, and apparently serving no other purpose... which was a little odd, and, since it was outside of either of the towns, I had to wonder *Will this place ever become a Mystery Dungeon like my home did, so many years ago? I sure hope not, else we might have to fight Celes' entire family, and they cover a wide variety of types!* I just continue on, starting to get a little bored, as the path seemed to stretch on forever.

Thankfully, Matt didn't mess up, and the door opened up as soon as the last switch was pressed, revealing a very narrow cavern. I look between my three teammates, and head out in front of all of them. Once everyone was past the door, it slams shut, darkening the narrow corridor. I was prepared for almost everything... the only thing I wasn't prepared for was, well, exactly was happened in this corridor, nothing. Oddly enough, no traps or enemies stood in our way as we climbed up through the narrow passageway, and eventually, we make it to a strange room, one that was lit with torches, and had a crystal clear orb in the middle of some sort of altar. Static pops his head out of he bag, and shouts ""That's it! That's the normal orb!"" I look over to him, and notice a rather grim sight. A skeleton that seemed to once belong to a dragonite, and a note and pen in its hands. The note was scribbled in the same barely-legible handwriting that I've seen on those other notes on the way up, but this one only said one sentence 

'Darkrai

This guy's too much for me... I'll wait for you...'

*That must have been Darkrai's friend... that's kinda sad that he died here waiting for him.* I think before Static slapped me in the face, and pointed to the orb, which, obviously, turned my attention back towards the orb. I head towards it, but, only a few steps before reaching it, I hear someone ""HEY! Not so fast, intruder!"" I jump out of the way as a scrafty lands where I used to be. This scrafty looked oddly familiar, somehow, which made me lose my focus as he... well, okay, thankfully, he didn't attack, but, I'm sure he did something...

We got the criminal, who gave up as soon as the cops came, and, thankfully, they got everything, and returned it all to its proper owners, but, something seemed off about Tini. ""Tini? Are you okay? Tini, come on, it really was the only way. If I didn't use that move, he would have gotten away and he would have stolen from everyone else in town. Come on, little buddy, we need ya!"" I say to him, hoping that my words would get through to the little guy. He looked as though he was looking way off into the distance, and that wasn't a good sign of things to come. Everyone else left, but, I couldn't just abandon Tini like this. My badge somehow went from mission completed mode back to emergency mode, but, why? There was nobody here, save for Tini and I... was there? Now I was getting a little scared. ""H-hello?"" I ask, wondering who else might be here. I get no response, though, I honestly didn't expect one. I then see something run by me, though, due to its speed, I couldn't tell who or what it was, that is, until I saw it stop in front of Tini and I. It was a gallade, and one that looked pretty angry at me, specifically. He didn't say a word, but the way he smirked made me think he was hostile. I was proven right when he tried to use Psycho Cut on me, which failed because... why? The move clearly hit me, it just didn't do anything for some reason. Tini still seemed to be busy gazing out into the nothingness, which meant that I was going to have to guard him, somehow..."

She had ran for so long she didn't think about the distance. Sure, it was far away but it was one of the way to actually get away from mystery dungeons that formed around the world: It was far enough from one mystery dungeon, but still close enough to the towns. As she moved forwards, William, who had fallowed, walked near Celes. ""It been a long time that you didn't visit... Everyone been looking for you for so long they eventually gave up until I found you at the guild. But others decided to actually have their own adventure and started to explore near the house... I hope everyone will be home."" he then says, with Celes smiling a bit at this. ""I do hope so also."" she says, looking down a bit, thinking. ""And I will need some explanations for this..."" she says as she gets some chains out. William stares at them longly, stopping. ""How the..."" he asks as she makes the chains disappear. ""I want to know that also... I always was weird and now I want to know why..."" she says as she continue to move. Then at a distance, large gates were seen, with a large house after it with large gardens with what seemed to be berry tree fields and fruit and vegetable trees.. In the air, the scent of fresh berries with something cooking filled the air. Celes smiled at the scent. ""Sweet home cooking...."" she says smiling. She think a bit, looking back at the group. ""Well... theres my home."" she says smiling."

As soon as they were all inside, the door closed behind them, locking them all in. It was dark, but there didn't seem to be any traps or puzzles. Eventually, it took them to a room which contained an altar of some sort, and on it was a strange orb. This was what they were looking for, without a doubt. Along with the orb, there was also a Dragonite skeleton in the corner. Josh had a feeling that he knew who it was, and the note it was holding confirmed it.

*'Darkrai

This guy's too much for me... I'll wait for you...'*

""So, Darkrai's friend is dead, is he?"" Matt said. ""That's a real shame.""

""So, where's the guy that was apparently too much for him?"" Josh asked.

His question was answered a few seconds later. Anthony began to approach the orb, and a Scrafty landed in front of him. He didn't attack, but it seemed like he was about to.

""We're not here to harm the orb, if that's what you think we're doing."" Matt said. He put up a Reflect, just in case this guy tried to attack them."

Xeno, still having been frozen in place dared not move when one of the pokemon spoke to him directly. Still as stone he waited for whoever was behind him to leave with every muscle in his body tensed to run should he need to. ""Hello?"" the same voice asked, whoever it was beginning to move into the corner of his vision. 

_He's not leaving,_ Xeno concluded, leaping away and making a mad dash towards anywhere he could perceive as safe. The top of the strange dwellings looked out of reach, and so finding the tallest looking one Xeno clawed his way to the top and hid behind it to be best out of view from anyone. ""Hey,"" the same voice said, the sound coming from right beside him. The Abra had teleported up to follow him, nearly giving Xeno a heart attack as he stumbled backwards and fell off the dwelling onto the street. In rather serious pain Xeno could only glance up to see the pokemon disappear to somewhere, looking guilty rather than angry. 

""ooohrrrrrrraaaaaaaa,"" Xeno groaned, able to barely pull himself up with one hand on his head and the other on his ribs. Temporarily defeated he sat down, clutching what ailed him while life for others around him continued. _What is this place?_"

I personally didn't want to go to her house since I wasn't exactly comfortable with the idea of meeting her family, but... 'team.' Swallowing my distrust of others, I followed alongside Spruce, feeling a bit sick from the sun. Not even 10 minutes passed and we were already within the heart of the Plains. Around us, Pokemon came and went, looking at us and behaving like curious folk. Perhaps they were suffering from heatstroke. Better yet, this place alone was making them mad. What caused Mystery Dungeons? Void Orbs? It was plausible - already everything felt 'balanced,' as if the universe became communist. Well, (damn) Davis would refer to this as 'communism.'

It was sweltering, and I was just able to pick out some wavy words in our group. Suddenly, we were hallucinating. A grand house, guarded with compound-like walls. Or whatever else they used to keep mindless Pokemon out. It wasn't a juxtaposition though - it fit the theme, somehow. Other than that, the wild Pokemon eventually stopped trying to take a look at us or run away, just disappearing altogether. How far did we travel to get here? ""You could at least build a little closer to Allure Town. Preferably somewhere with a cooler climate."" I said, looking up and stupidly blinding myself briefly. Not a cloud in the sky."

Kamina had an epiphany. Through his sudden burst of insight, he now understood everything ""I get it now! Celes...I now fully understand why you keep denying your ability to control the very hears of others; it's a family secret! That explains everything!"" At this point, Kamina's eyes began to water ""I...I had no idea you were struggling like this for so long; caught between your loyalty to your family, and your loyalty to us, your friends. I am so ashamed of myself, how could I have missed the pain you held in your heart all this time"" no he was openly crying ""you hid it so well Celes, none of us had any idea you were suffering such torment. You're strong Celes, your heart has a strength that I've never seen in anyone else before. I...I am humbled by your suffering. But it's over now Celes, you don't have to suffer any more."" He yelled the next part ""feel free to keep your family secrets! No kindhearted person would ever force someone they loved, platonically or romantically, to chose between their loyalties! So neither shall we! No now Celes, that you no longer have to chose between your family and us, your secrets are yours alone and we respect that!""

**Tini**

""Was it really? Was there really nothing else we could even try? Why was torture our default course of action?"" Tini began to weep. ""It's horrible, having the crazies. I...I'll never forget when that Delcatty gave me the crazies; it was so scary, I still have nightmares about it. I was her mind slave, I did anything she said to. I couldn't fight back, my mind was just so cloudy. Even when I managed to get the clouds to go away...they just came back again! It was like they were smothering me, and not in the good way! If...if master hadn't saved me with his frying pan, I'd still be her slave. Yet there I was...just watching someone else suffer what I had to go through. I'm no hero..."" Tini would have continued his existential moping, had he and Bonnie not been attacked. As the Galade came at them, Tini had a sudden epiphany. ""Fairy Wind"" this time when he used his minty attack, he didn't cry out it's name with his usual energy, but with an oddly dark tone ""now I understand, I was never meant to be a hero, that was a fools dream. Instead, I was destined to be a brooding anti-hero. Making speeches about how life is pain, speaking with no emotions beside apathy or anger, willing to go to any lengths to get my man...like taking candy from a baby. The ends always justify the means, thank you for teaching me that Bonnie."" The Galade, meanwhile, was rightly confused by this tiny and quite frankly adorable little Dratine trying (and failing, quite miserably) to be dark and brooding"

I see that the buneary didn't get hurt by psycho cut. I look, confused, and draw a conclusion; she must be a zorua. I smile, getting ready to hit her with Focus Blast, but I was hit by Fairy Wind. ""Hmph. That didn't hurt a bit,"" I say after the small pink dratini attacked me. I smirked, and I use Close Combat on the fake buneary. ""That'll teach you to turn the brains of my only friend into mush!"" I say, and I look at the dratini. ""And you... I have no quarrel with you, but because you're a witness, I'm afraid I must attack,"" I say, sprinting towards it and using Psycho Cut on it, going for it's neck with my elbow blades. After finishing the attack and hopefully hitting, I say ""Now, it's time to finish both of you off; for good.""  I prepare to use Focus Blast, charging it up so I'd hit the buneary extremely hard; hard enough to kill.

-William-
I walked around for about ten minutes before coming upon the lair. I open the door, and walk in, and I see a Gallade preparing to attack my friends! I use transform, turning into him, and I use Close Combat, hitting the gallade multiple times in the chest and face. After my attack, he kicks me into a wall, and I had the wind knocked out of me. ""Hmph! Damn dittos,"" he says. He walked forward to attack me, so I used Counter, but he saw that coming, so he didn't attack. I go for a punch, but he counters it and tosses me to the ground, and I look at him. He didn't attack me. ""I... I feel like I know you. Hold still!"" he says, and I felt a sharp pain in my head. ""Aaah... so you're that kecleon. Well, I'll take you with me, then!"" he says, grabbing me by the neck. ""I wish I had teleport, but I guess I can just run,"" he says, but I use this moment to use Focus Blast. ""I think we can still kill him! Attack!"" I say, backing off for a second to get my breath back."

We finally get to Celes' place, only to find that it was large and empty. Considering the fact that all of her siblings seemed to have run off somewhere, I could only assume there was going to be more of them. Also taking a look at the family members who were here, it was safe to assume that the entire family was either eevee or any of its evolutions... possibly all of them, considering that there's a jolteon (Celes' brother, I think), an umbreon (Celes' father), and an espeon (Celes' mother)... and, of course, Celes, who was a sylveon by now. There were also a couple burn marks on the floor, which made me think that there was at least one flareon in the family. There was also a garden nearby, and what appeared to be some sort of ice and snow-based construction near that, which was a bit strange. I didn't pay too much attention to the conversation between Celes and William at the moment, and I turn back only to find out that I was the only one actually in the home at this point. ""What the...? Celes! What are you doing out there? Don't you want to go home?"" I ask her, though, her parents started looking at me a little angrily, which, considering their typing, made me a little nervous, no, not because I was particularly effected by dark or psychic types, no, it was because I KNEW that messing with them was a bad idea... they can read your mind... or, you know, hide in the shadows of your house until you go to sleep and just kill you right then and there.

""I honestly don't care if you mean to harm or pick up the orb, I'm here to stop ya!"" The scrafty, whose voice sounded a lot like my father's shouted in response to Matt's comment about us not being here to harm the orb. He then continues to not attack... what was he doing? It took a while, but the answer finally came to me, he was using Bulk Up this whole time, which, of course might look like he was stalling and doing nothing to an outside viewer. Of course, his continued use of the move made it difficult to use counter, that is, until he finally attacked me, and with Chip Away, and I could tell he was trying to bypass my reflect, but, thankfully, the wall was just too sturdy, and, while I still took considerable damage, I didn't pass out. I also never stopped trying to use Counter, and this time, actually managed to do exactly that, countering the scrafty's attack, and apparently dealing quite a bit of damage... of course, the state I was left in told me this wouldn't work a second time, not without some sort of healing. He then looked around, and after a bit of that, tried using Crunch on Matt, apparently content with his current attack and defense. ""Matt, watch out!"" I say before Daniel flies in the way of the attack, and takes the hit, using Shadow Rush on the scrafty after that. ""Hey... why'd you guys bring a shadow pokemon here?"" He asks us, apparently a little mad, as if we've broken some sort of unwritten rule.

[Bonnie]

The gallade, after theorizing that I was a zorua, just ran up to me and started punching and slashing with his elbow blades non-stop. I narrowly avoid taking enough hits from that attack to knock me out, and, after him launching another one of those Psycho Cuts at Tini, he tried to finish us off with some giant energy orb... no, not Energy Ball, more like Focus Blast, but, thankfully, an imposter of some sort, no, wait, William, came in and broke his focus, forcing him to abandon that attack and focus on his fake. William then ordered us to attack, and, due to a blunder from him, I could tell that he was the more beat-up looking gallade. I nod, and start thinking about my own father, and the horrors he caused me to see, focusing this into an attack, just like any other time I've used it, and eventually run up to the gallade, using Frustration on him, and hoping to hit, and possibly deal damage just due to my growing hatred for my father. I almost thought about my father for too long, and that would have thrown me into some sort of rage, but, I managed to avoid that, thankfully, as, if we were going to win, I'd certainly need my head, and I'd need control over my own actions."

""Seriously Spruce! Coulden't have waited up!"" she then says, before going forwards, entering the house slowly, her ribbons moving around a bit. William fallowed soon after, smiling. Then Celes parents stared at her for a while, then looked at each other, then at Celes. ""Celes?!"" they say in unison. Celes smiles at them softly. ""Uhm... hey mom... hey dad... I am back..."" she says. Just then her umbreon mother rushed at her and hugged her. ""Oh Celes... we were so worried. I though you would have been lost or killed or.... but look at you... you evolved into..."" she says before looking at her for a bit, and looking down a bit, mumbling something. ""A Sylveon..."" she says before smiling at her. ""Come on in... The others should be here soon. They kinda started to go a bit more outside the house and explore a bit. A good couple of them decided to make their own team at the Allure Guild."" she says, her dad smiling a bit at her girl. Celes smiles before letting everyone come in, the house being colder then outside. After getting in, her father looked at her and smiled.
""So... I heard Sylveon's are the evolution when a eevee falls in love with someone... soo... who is your crush?"" he says, which made Celes blush hard. She looks at Spruce, blushing, giving the idea to her father and he laughs a bit.
""Well well... I guess your the lucky winner of..."" he starts to say, before Celes start to talk.
""Dad!!!!"" she says, with her father laughing a bit.
""Sorry... but... why did you come here anyway? Why no news?"" he asks. Celes breath deeply. ""First off I wanted to show that I evolved... Second I need explanations..."" she says. Her parents look at her. ""For what?"" Her mother ask worried, before Celes shows her chains. ""I want to know why I can do this..."" she says.

Josh used Water Gun, hoping that it would do a decent amount of damage. Bulk Up would have only increased his physical defense, so it shouldn't hinder Josh's attack in any way. Still, it would take a lot more than one Water Gun to bring him down. On top of that, it didn't seem like Anthony would be able to take another hit, so another Counter was out of the question.

""This guy seems tough."" Josh said. ""It'll take a lot of hits to bring him down."""

I grab the zorua, and attack it to reveal it's disguise, but... well, it wasn't a disguise. ""I thought you were normal type! Psycho Cut didn't do anything?!"" I ask, and I look at the buneary. I noticed something weird before I was attacked from behind by my imposter. A few scars on the left cheek, and a gash on the side of the buneary. ""You're her... Oh, he'll be so glad when I show him that I finally found his daughter! He's been waiting a while to use Payday again!"" I say, ready to take her out of the hideout, but my imposter ran up and bit my arm. ""Ouch!"" I say, dropping the buneary. ""Come here!"" I say, reaching for the buneary, but my imposter continued attacking. I teleport away, back to the 2nd hideout. ""She's still alive. I'll find her again,"" I say to Artemis, the persian. ""Why didn't you bring her?"" he asks me, and I respond with ""I was being attacked by multiple people at once, and didn't have the chance to grab her."""

Say what you want about Kamina (and there is a lot one could say about the rather loud little fishy) but he at least recognized a few situations where he should keep quiet...this was one of them. Clearly Celes and her family were having a moment, and as her comrade in arms, there was no way he was going to interrupt something like that. Not only that, but as her lover, Spruce should be the first one introduced to her family. Sure, he was extremely dense about social situations, but at least this was one where he knew to exercise some self control, that has to count for something...right?

Now wearing his frying pan on his head in an attempt to look more dark and brooding (which it failed completely at doing, it just made him look even more adorable. I mean seriously! Dratini's are already the cutest Dragon Type Pokemon. If you give them a funny looking hat, then they're cuteness increases proportional to the funny factor of the hat. That's science, and you do _not_ mess with science). With his new attire ready, he was all set to resume his attack, however the Galade Teleported away after getting hit again by Bonnie and (who he assumed was) William. ""Nuts! I wasn't done with that criminal scum."" he said in his best attempt at a gritty voice (once again, it failed to be anything but adorable). ""There's only one way to deal with punks like that; you poke them. You keep poking them and poking them until they ask you to stop...and then you _don't_! They chose a life a crime, so that means that they deserve anything bad that happens to them. So you keep on poking them, until their life turns as black as my tormented heart of angsty darkness."""

He didn't see anything that looked particularly safe or nutritious to eat, and it troubled him. A thought occurred to him though, and he remembered this place was just a cave with no ceiling so to find food in a cave all you had to do was dig. So he started, right at the side of the road and straight down, clawing as fast as he could though it would have been faster had he been able to learn dig."

This place was cold, and you couldn't exactly control the temperature in your house without some sort of magic. Including insulation and windows. This wasn't a mansion, though it seemed big enough to hold a large family, including family heirlooms such as dusty cups and odd gimmicks sitting in glass cabinets. Some of them I actually recognised as the stuff Davis would probably be familiar with. Like a rusty spoon.

While looking around, I did notice Celes and her family talking to each other - it was a problem, because we were left forgotten. ""Not to interrupt, but I think you've forgotten about us."" Casually enough, I did interrupt. Lampshade, more or less. ""I call myself M since I don't really have a name. The fish is Kamina, our leader a walking snake is Spruce. Pleasure to be here."" Yes, it was - I couldn't stand to be outside unless I was deliberately trying to bake myself.</div>"

Celes demonstrated her chains of light, and I just sort of stood there, feeling a little left out as she spoke with her family. They asked her who she was in love with, and she blushed, and looked at me, shouting ""Dad!!!"" Afterwards. I then hear someone else approaching, and turn around to see a flareon, who looked a little mad at something. He didn't say anything, and instead felt as if it was his duty to try to burn me to a crisp. He started launching fire attack after fire attack at me, and, luckily, I evaded them, though, the fire also lit the carpet on fire, so I still had to move away from it, after I was done evading. ""Why are you attacking me?"" I asked the flareon, who responded with another question ""What are you doing here? This is my family's house, and you're not family!"" For some reason, he must have either not seen, or ignored M and Kamina, who also weren't members of Celes' family. I decide against telling him about the other two, given that I'd rather he didn't know about M... Kamina could probably take those embers like a champ, but M certainly couldn't. Heck, he had trouble just getting here in the sun for some reason.

The scrafty took the attacks like a champ, and decided to go for Bulk Up, again, raising his stats even higher. He then comments ""Hmph... you look like you're about to fall, don't you, Anthony? I'm sorry, but I expected my own son to put up a better fight than this!"" He then tries High Jump Kick, and, having no other course of action, I hide inside my helmet, and the kick actually manages to hit just the helmet... though... said helmet knocked me around a bit, and I felt dazed, and somewhat confused. I get out of my helmet, and shout ""Hey! Where the heck is the rest of my division? I need reinforcements, STAT!"" I snap out of my daze, and feel a strange power... I use that power, and feel as though I've been healed, and strengthened. An odd light surrounded me, and the rest of my teammates, and the scrafty who was apparently my dad, backed away a little bit. I then use absorb... somehow managing to hit him three times with that move, and actually manage to damage him, and regain even more health. ""I don't know what just happened, but I think the tables have turned, let's use whatever this is to our advantage!"" I say to my team after using my attack. The scrafty then tries to attack Matt with Crunch, again, hoping to get rid of our most powerful teammate. Daniel used this to his advantage, and attacked the Scrafty with Shadow Rush, hitting him twice with that move, somehow.

The gallade teleports away after William bites him a few times, though, for some reason, he recognized me. I then end up saying ""Oh no... he's with... him... isn't he?"" Of course, they had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, so, I decide to explain a bit further, adding ""My.. father... they're with my father, aren't they? That must be why that gallade recognized me so easily,"" I then pick up the frying pan Tini was wearing, and say to myself <span class=""bb-i"">Well, he said it's an insta-cure for the crazies...</span> I then hit Tini with the frying pan, saying ""Crazies, begone!""

My badge returns to 'mission complete' mode, and I use this opportunity to teleport myself and my team back to the guild, where a reward was hopefully waiting for us. Once back, I see a purple kecleon looking right at me. He waits for the rest of my team to return, after which, he thanks us for all of our hard work, and gives us a total of (after guild fees, of course) 1000 poke to spend somewhere.

The Scrafty uses High Jump Kick on Anthony, who thankfully hides inside of his helmet. He seemed pretty dazed when he came back out.

A strange light then surrounded everyone on the team. Anthony then used Absorb 3 times somehow.

The Scrafty then used Crunch on Matt once again. This time, Daniel wasn't there to block it, and the attack almost knocked him out. He used Recover, and for some reason it healed him twice. Daniel's Shadow Rush hit twice, as well. Josh then used Water Gun on the Scrafty, expecting it to hit more than once, like everyone else's attacks. It ended up hitting three times.

Lost between intensity and eternity, is our home the earth. Each speck of light, every microscopic organism, every being on this planet is sacred. Every night, we have the chance, for the approximate time of a varying twelve and a half hours, to look up into the vastness that is space. The vastness known as the our galaxy. There are, an estimate, of over one hundred billion stars in our galaxy, two thousand of which are observable at night. 

On such a night like this, the majority of the constellations can be seen. Where there is the Tauros, Orion's Belt, or the Drie Susters, an extra star shines bright in the sky. Calm, quaint, and quiet, i- hold up. It's getting closer. That's not even a star. I think it's saying something, too!

The other smaller Pokemon stands up atop him, brushing himself off. Not a scratch on him - even his red 'n blue 3-D specs are in perfect condition. The backwards ballcap atop his head in pristine shape.

He pulls out a notepad, pencil in his mouth as he flips about. ""Note to self: don't fuck with a family of Electrode."" He looks down at the groaning Zoroark rubbing his broken arm. Looking back and forth, he swipes the satchel from him, slowly backing up, while dotting down some more notes. ""Remind yourself that you saved a family of Electrode annnd..."" He searches through the stolen satchel, looking at its contents. ""...that I was rewarded with this new bag and bunches of items! Atta boy, Breen, atta boy..."". He runs off, only to make a completely 180 and stops, looking back and forth and all around. ""That is one...big...fuckin'...house..."". He stands, staring at the patchworks-like mansion, admiring it, taking his hat off and resting it against his heart. ""Byootiful! Just, byootiful! If I didn't know any better, I'd confuse this house..."" He stares down at a comic, then back up at the house. ""...for the one containing the void crystal..."".

""Save my brother!"" I read from the parchment. ""He was taken by some village people in Distant Desert! It's north of Sunswept Plains, far past Scale City, and everyone there is thinking he's the sacrifice to save the world from Giratina! I don't know what to do, since they'll kill me if I try to stop them, and I think he's even beginning to think he's the only one that can stop Giratina!"" I read. ""Sounds important! Let's go. Get Samuel, too,"" I say, and I head off. After arriving at Sunswept Plains, I waited for Samuel. The fire he made stopped, but left a pretty bad mark on the plains. I wiped my forehead, feeling like it was 80° or more here, and I began sweating.</div>"

It was at this point that Kamina could no longer hold himself back; he began to weep manly tears ""it's just so beautiful! A family divided by...by...something, has now reunited. Overcoming the obstacles in their path to come together again! I just...I just...It's so overwhelming, I just can't stop my great manly tears!

<span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span>

Right after the battle ended, Tini was busy thinking of things to brood over 'huh, this is nowhere near as easy as it looks. I wonder how all those anti here's in stories make it look so easy?' However that train of thought was quickly derailed by a frying pan to the head. Not ready for such a blow, Tini fell down to the floor. After Bonnie teleported them back, his brain began to reboot itself. Once they had gotten their reward (and payed the guild fee as well) his brain finally finished it boot up process. ""W-what was I thinking? How...how could I have let one mistake let me go Renegade!? I feel so ashamed of myself"" while it looked like Tini was about to go into another spiral of despair, he quickly perked up this time ""well never again! I'll never let myself fall to self inflicted crazies! For now on; I'm Paragon for life! Don't worry Bonnie; I'll make sure that you never use that horrible move ever again! Now then, off to our next adventure! Don't worry guys; I'll save those poor crazy cult people with my frying pan!"" he said the last pat while holding his trusty frying pan aloft </div>"

His home collapsed, he was forced out of the only world he ever knew, he'd stumbled into town confused and disturbed, and now after trying to dig for food he was flushed out by a sudden flood of water.

""AAAAAAAAAAAAARG!"" he screamed, scrambling out the hole he'd made in the side of the road. Soon as he breached the surface something took hold of his arm and pulled him out. ""So there was someone down there,"" the quagsire murmured, pulling Xeno the rest of the way out and letting him go. ""Thought i'd make sure before patching up the road,"" it said dreamily, like it was only half awake. 

Still panicked Xeno held his chest trying to control his breathing, soaked from the encounter and in his mind narrowly escaping death once more. ""What were ou doing down there anyways?"" the quagsire asked, sitting down and cocking it's head slightly. ""Food,"" Xeno replied quickly, ""I was trying to find something to eat.""

""Well why don't you buy something?""

""Buy?""

""Ya, like with money.""

""Money?""

The quagsire sighed, falling forward onto it's stomach and laying at the side of the road with Xeno, glancing briefly at the hole now full of muddy water then back at the sableye. ""If you're going to live in town you need to be civilized about it. Wherever you came from pokemon here are more polite so long as you are to them. That means not digging holes in the ground for whatever you eat,"" the quagsire explained, it having put together what had happened. ""If you need to dig for food you could dig in the mountains. Wild pokemon probably dig there all the time,"" it then mused, glancing at Xeno and smiling. 

""Mountains?"" Xeno asked, never having heard the term before. The quagsire sighed, rolling onto it's back then rocking to it's feet, beginning to waddle off down the street. ""I'll draw you a map if it'll get you to stop digging holes in the road,"" it sighed, motioning for Xeno to follow. Tentatively, the sableye began to follow, somewhat intrigued by what this pokemon spoke of.</div>"

It was nice and all (the house I mean), but the atmosphere was quickly ruined by tension, then replaced by peace, then a bit of fear and paranoia at the Flareon when it came to me... then peace again. This house was weird, though not as dangerous as outside. ""Huh. That escalated quickly."" I said, trying to pretend afterwards nothing really happened like everyone else did, 'cause it was pretty awkward. Thankfully, even though I was bad with children, these guys clearly had grown so much so that they're willing to fight their elders. Meanwhile, I forgot why we were even here. It was for a brief reunion, but it was actually supposed to be brief.

While waiting for everything to be over soon, I heard some noise attributable to... something being slammed into a wall. Curious as to why someone or something would do that on Celes' door, I carefully hovered over mosaic tiles and passed by polished wooden furniture. The thwacking only seemed to get louder as I approached the door. Was this some sort of fish knocking on the door? Kamina was inside, after all.

Not risking anything, I noticed how the doorknob was metal. Therefore, I pointed my magnet at the bent doorknob, turning the doorknob downwards with a bit of difficulty, considering this was pretty much magic. ""Uh, who're you and how can I help you?"" Well, I had opened the door at a bad time. I think we were just introduced to a fanboy. Well, a rather odd one anyway.</div>"

Everything was looking up, from Matt fully recovering from one of the familiar scrafty's attacks, to Daniel rushing in and smashing him with Shadow Rush twice in a row, to him finally taking damage from our attacks, given that they're hitting more than once, now. My health renewed, and myself feeling more daring, and somehow stronger. I prepare to counter an attack, and my father, George, the scrafty decides to use High Jump Kick on me, leaving me back at at the razor's edge of consciousness, and I literally throw all of that damage back at him... twice, somehow! This seemed to change things, and he started avoiding me for a while, even eating a berry to recover some of his health while I pelted him with a multi-attacking absorb to get back all of that health I just lost from the attack. He then turns around and tries that attack again, however, his attack was interrupted by Daniel shadow rushing him another three times... well, the attack wasn't so much interrupted as it was thrown off of its intended course, and as such, George ended up basically flinging himself into the cavern's wall, obviously taking some serious damage from that. Panicking, George then started focusing on Matt again, using Crunch on him, in some sort of effort to at least get rid of someone on this team.

I look down after William asked that question, and answer ""Yes... you could say that. I ran away for a good reason, though. You see..."" I was just about to say more, but William ran off after finding Samuel. Tini was still there, so, I continued, this time talking to him. ""You see, Tini... my father, well, he, murdered my mother! Not only that, but, I was the only witness... oh, and he didn't stop at just murder, either, he, well..."" I then have another flashback to that horrible sight, and cringe before breaking out into tears again. I then decide to follow William, all the while trying to forget that event, again. Apparently, there was a Flaafy out there who was going to be sacrificed somewhere in some backwards village, and we were the ones to stop it. We make it back to Sunswept plains, my own home, and I feel just like that, at home. William, on the other hand, seemed to be having some sort of issue. ""Oh, come on, it's not that bad... your fur's thinner than mine, and I'm doing just fine,"" I comment, simply being here making me feel more alive, and more safe from a certain someone. I look back and make sure that Tini doesn't get left behind, though, I wasn't the only one waiting for someone, apparently. Samuel arrived shortly, and I remember an event that he started in these plains... that fire... ugh... what was he thinking? I was about to say something, but decided against it, just feeling happy that we're all together, again.

The flareon who attacked me was punished pretty quickly afterwards by Celes' mother and father, who introduced themselves afterwards, but soon after that, I hear a knock, or, rather, someone trying to bash in the door. M head off towards it first, but I follow him soon afterwards, not really having much to do right now. M opens the door to reveal a rather odd-looking mudkip, who was wearing some sort of odd red and blue plastic and paper glasses. <span class=""bb-i"">What's this guy selling?</span> I ask myself, wondering if he was just another one of those door-to-door salespokemon. I'm guessing he had some sort of lookalike orb, or a wander gummi, or something similar to that, and he'd say how it would cure all your ails, make you ten times more intelligent, or make you jump over mountains. Whatever it was he had, I wasn't buying... of course, it wasn't really up to M and I... if anything, this visitor would have to be dealt with by Celes' parents. ""Uh... mister and missus Silverfall? There's some sort of door-to-door salespokemon at the door,"" I call back to Celes' parents, wondering how they'd react to the visitor. It didn't seem like they knew him, but for all I knew, he could be a friend of the family who I've never met.</div>"

Celes walked by and looked at him confused. ""Who the heck is that?"" she says, before seeing 2 vaporeons at a distance. Celes brother and sister were coming. Celes looks at the mudkip. ""Excuse me but if you are here to sell goods, we are not interested."" Celes says calmly. The vaporeons were coming closer, looking at Celes, and whispering at each other. Celes looked at them and smiled as they stood there. They probably were wondering who she was, cause there were no Sylveon in the family. Then Dylian moved next to Celes, looking at the mudkip, his gray fur shining a bit in the sun. He stayed silent, unsure what was everything about. The flareon looked at him, but didn't say anything. He was going to ask who he was but now was not a good time to do so.</div>"

He used Crunch on Matt, which almost knocked him out. Seconds later, Matt's Reflect began to fade. Instead of healing, he decided to put his Reflect back up, which left him vulnerable if the Scrafty decided to attack him again.

Josh used Water Gun on the Scrafty again, and it managed to hit 5 times this time.
""Come on guys, let's finish this."" He said.
The Scrafty seemed to be getting pretty weak at this point, especially with that High Jump Kick missing. Hopefully it wouldn't take much more to knock him out.</div>"

On the way back to it's dwelling, Xeno had learned that it's name was in fact 'Henry' and 'it' was a 'he'. Though he never showed any enthusiasm Henry was quite the the jolly character, a slight grin constantly on his face like every little thing brought him a hint of amusement which was most apparent when he spoke. And speak he did, being quite understanding of Xeno's situation and taking some time while he drew the map to explain some things about the world beyond tunnel systems. Xeno hung on every word that came out the quagsire's large mouth, crawling on top of furniture habitually to eventually sit on the table Henry worked at. 

""Well he's the map. Once you get there I guess just start digging and hope you get lucky,"" Henry explained, still baring that dopey grin as he handed the rolled up paper to Xeno. Fearful Henry might go back on his offer Xeno snatched the map away soon as it was within reach, receiving no resistance from the quagsire. Somewhat confused, Xeno glanced at the paper then back at Henry, wondering why he didn't want back what was clearly his. ""Welp, I best get back to that hole you made. Fill it up with something other than mud,"" he said getting up and moving for the door. 

""Th-thank you,"" Xeno managed to say, still sitting atop the wooden table. ""You're welcome. Now come on, it's impolite to stay in someone's house without their permission,"" Henry replied, motion for Xeno to follow just as he did earlier. Again the sableye took the hint but was less cautious this time, trusting the quagsire as he moved past him and through the door. ""Best of luck on your trip,"" Henry said, waving lazily. Xeno nodded and opened the map, looking at the street he was aparently starting on and comparing it to his journey ahead. <span class=""bb-i"">Simple enough,</span> he thought, rolling up the paper and heading out.</div>"

Funny, I didn't realize he was part Spinda. You'd believe that due to the fact his head's spinning so much. Not much in the line of thought runs through his head, and almost for the first time ever - nothing's coming out of his mouth. <span class=""bb-i"">Geez, Breen, don't use your head much anymore...</span> He looks about the house; everyone's staring at him. Great. <span class=""bb-i"">Salespokemon? What are they on about - hey! Work with it! Maybe you can get something out of them.</span> Still nothing out of his mouth as he just stares blankly at each of them, the lot returning the same looking face.

<span class=""bb-i"">Geez, Breen, just go with it, say something! Break the ice! Then make like a tree and get outta here! Maybe they're foreign and don't understand English...Eevietnamese? You've studied a bit of that, try that...</span> ""Uh...uh..."" Thinking. Language barrier processing. ""WHATAF 3HIN TIME?"" <span class=""bb-i"">Right on, Breen! You got it!</span>

The vacant expressions on everyone's faces snaps Breen back into motion. ""Shit. Uh. Sorry 'bout that! Breen! Breen Torrents, here! And uh..."" He rummages through the stolen messenger bag, tossing them up in the air and juggling them as he makes his way in. ""Can I interest you in any of these here items? We got a uh... Apple! And a uh.... 'nother apple! And, uh... this stupid jewel thingy, probably don't interest any of you guys...and oh!

First, we didn't really know what to do at Celes' house. I knew it was a bad idea at first, but being attacked and having nothing to show for it... I think it was time to politely leave, after all. Maybe when we were older we'd have an actual discussion about life, though not only am I dying, that's honestly bullshit and a waste of time.

The doorway. In it, was Pokemon on either side - we had me, who was honestly quite disinterested in life now. On the other side of the door, there was a rather... odd Mudkip. I had no idea what I was about to get myself into by opening the door. While the voice of discipline was drowned out by simple distance, I still felt as if something was trying to communicate. Really, I kinda shrugged and asked 'yes?' with a bit of uncertainty, as to what the heck was happening.

Silence. That was what happened. Celes spoke out, but at that point I was just trying to concentrate on the Mudkip. That didn't go so well when he started babbling on trading and throwing around junk in his hands and air.

""Uh, hello and goodbye Breen."" I haven't really talked to anyone aside from Spruce, Celes and Kamina. I didn't know how to really talk normally to... normal Pokemon. A lot of shit happened, and so far I'm more concerned with what might happen rather than what is happening. So, I asked him to leave. ""Speaking of goodbye, can we get going already? II don't want to meet Celes' entire family if it's not gonna give us some mission reward, and we've got more important issues like-"" I got a chill, abruptly cutting off my complaint. I just realised the Mudkip was still there, showing off more odd merchandise. Was it a really good idea talking about saving the world in public? We needed to find Giratina's grave alright, though speaking something arguably crazy to another possible crazy probably wouldn't end well. ""Er, saving someone's ass or two.""</div>"

""I used to have cold blood. I've felt like I was on fire on the inside for a little while now,"" I say, seeing the group approach. ""So... this place is north of here, so let's get going!"" I say, heading north. After a while it transitions from a field to a desert-like area. I look on the horizon, not seeing any town. It was about 15 degrees hotter, and I had to sit under the shade of... well, there wasn't much. There were plenty of cacti, and cactus-like pokemon, but nowhere to actually rest. I sit underneath the shade of a cactus, since it was practically the only thing in the desert that cast a large enough shadow to sit behind, and then it turns around, using Needle Arm and making me flinch. It scuttles off laughing after he or she hit me, and I whimper, a few needles in my back. Samuel looks at me, and begins to pull them out, which hurt like someone stabbing me with sharp glass, except backwards. I stand up after he'd plucked all the needles from my back, and I say ""Well... might as well get searching.""</div>"

While under normal circumstance, Kamina would rush to the aid of any of his friends without thinking...however this wasn't quite a normal circumstance. When that Flareon attacked Spruce, Kamina assumed that he was one of Celes' siblings who was only attacking him out of some sort of test. That was something that made sense to Kamina's strange logic. As such, he felt it improper to get involved. After all, this was Spruce's fight to prove to Celes' family that he was worthy of her. Kamina already knew he was, but her family hadn't been on any adventure with him, so he could understand why they felt the need to test him. As such, Kamina didn't really pay attention to the fight. What did catch his attention was the strange Mudkip who called himself Breen. Splashing over to the Water Type, Kamina stared deeply into his eyes in a totally not homo way. He was piercing through those two windows o his face with his gaze to see the soul inside

Bonnie's story was a sad one. It was the story of a little girl who's childhood was ruined by an evil dad. Suddenly, many things started to make sense. ""I understand..."" Tini said somberly ""It seems I have little choice"" his voice was quiet before he raised his frying pan to the sky ""I must channel all of your pain and sorrow into this mighty frying pan...and then hit your father on the head with it until he's sorry!!!"" he declared dramatically (not...not really. There was nothing dramatic about that. It was just plain adorable)

Later when they reached the Sunswept Plains, he had a sudden idea. A perfect way to easy poor Bonnie's suffering (at least in his mind). Crawling up to her neck, he wrapped himself around it like a sweater ""don't worry Bonnie! I know just the thing to make your heart stop hurting; cuddles! Cuddles always made me feel better when I was deathly ill."" Suddenly, he realized something ""oh yeah...I never told you guys; I was born sick, and no one expected me to live very long. My parents did their best to take care of me...but it wasn't enough. When I was just about to die, lord Xerneas came and saved me...and made me minty, pink, and sparkly for some reason.

I looked around at everyone, M anxious to leave, and Kamina trying to melt this 'Breen's' mind with his own (false) psychic abilities, Celes going back to her house, and probably wanting to stay there for a while... and, of course, Breen, who was, just as I suspected, a salespokemon. Apparently he was selling apples and odd jewels, though there was a lot of mail in there for a salespokemon's bag, making me almost think that he stole it. I just sat there for a while, uncertain as to what to do right now, until I hear something. A set of footsteps, too quick to be almost any eeveelution, yet, too slow to be a jolteon's... and from the sound of it, whatever it was, was apparently bipedal, rather than quadrupedal. I start to ask myself what could be causing that, though my answer came quickly enough as a familiar trio of a sneasel, a zubat, and a koffing came into view. ""Helpless family, feel the wrath of TEAM ZAN!"" They then take one look at me, and step back a couple of steps. ""Uh... boss?"" Carl starts to ask, with Sean saying ""Yeah, I know, but we still already made our entrance... we can't run now! We'd look like cowards!"" Bart then adds ""Maybe we could try out, you know, that, on them,"" Sean looks at him and says ""Brilliant idea, let's do it!"" Honestly, I only let them talk like this because they were always so weak, I might as well let them go through their spiel. They then do something a little off... first, Carl uses poison gas, however, right after that, Bart drains the entire thing using leech life, and then spews it back out, though, this time, there was twice as much, however, before this cloud could get to us, Sean uses powder snow on it, freezing the poison cloud solid. The trio then uses their combined power to throw the solidified poison at me. It wasn't that I was too slow to avoid it, but the sheer size of it made it near-impossible to evade. Once it hit the ground, as well as myself and maybe even Celes, M, and Kamina, the solidified poison shattered, sending shards everywhere but back at Team Zan. What made this worse? It ACTUALLY HURT. A LOT. ""Wh...when the heck did you guys get tough?"" I manage to ask, though, the only response I got was laughter, unfortunately.

[Anthony]

Due to the fact that I just came back from having used Absorb a bunch of times, I thought that George was going to attack me with another High Jump Kick, so I prepared to counter that attack, however, he didn't use High Jump Kick, nor did he even attack me. Instead, he went for the move Crunch, and, for some reason, on Josh. I then followed him, waiting for my chance to attack back, saying ""Come on, why'd you stop targeting me?"" Though, I get no response outside of angered mumbles and grumbles. I try to prepare for another counter, however, this time, instead of his usual High Jump Kick or Crunch, he went for Stone Edge, hitting me in a particularly weak area, and causing me to faint from the sheer pain. ""Anthony, NO!"" Daniel shouts, though, he knew I couldn't hear him after that attack. He then uses Shadow Rush, though... it only hit once. ""Uh... guys? I think we might be a little bit doomed if we don't knock this guy out, ASAP,"" Daniel then announces to the rest of the team. Sure, his shadow rush seemed to do at least some damage, but it didn't do nearly as much as it would have, had it hit twice or more. George, knowing that he had time for it, decides to use another bulk up, just to ensure KO's on his next few attacks, and to possibly ensure a win for him...

William explained to me how he used to have cold blood, and I realized my mistake ""Oh, right... sorry 'bout that. I guess I don't know what it feels like to transition from that to this, I mean, I was born like this, so I'm used to it,"" I comment. I felt pretty decent, until a memory of my father reared its ugly head, and to make matters worse? Some sort of snakelike pokemon was wrapping around me! I overheard something about Tini being technically undead, but revived by Xerneas... I guess making him a fairy type? I shivered at the thought of some snake having me for dinner, completely forgetting the fact that there was a good chance whoever wrapped themselves around me was Tini, and eventually scream, both from the memory, and from the thought of being eaten by a snake. I then look to my left, and notice a familiar pink coloration... whoops. ""Uh... sorry about that, Tini, I just... well, I thought you might have been something or someone else,"" I then comment, somewhat shakily. It seemed as though Samuel has officially rejoined us, having finally realized that this was the one, true William from our team. William then suggests that we all get searching, and I nod politely, and say ""Yeah... let's go,"" I then look for a... wait, what were we looking for again? Oh, right, some backwards barbaric village where they're sacrificing someone's brother. I guess I couldn't blame them for being backwards, given the heat and general unlivability of this place. I walk off towards the north... I think, and encounter a... thing... I couldn't tell what it was, due to the odd effect heat can have on you, but it decided to attack me with scratch, though, he may have been going for Tini who may or may not still be wrapped around me.</div>"

I floated as still as always, while Spruce looked around trying to figure out what to do himself. Kamina was trying to do some telepathy while Celes apparently paid attention to both her siblings and the idiots we were about to fight.

I didn't mind the odd Mudkip, since we had bigger problems. Well, bigger annoyances. ""What is this? Petty robbery? You're already cowards, you may as well not be stubborn."" I yelled out, warning Team Zan to back off and do whatever they did best. Whatever it was. ""Get out of our way."" I tried to gesture them to shoo off (and even finish my sentence), clawing at the air with the appendage behind me - though we were suddenly confronted by something Team Zan actually put thought in. Their cheerful squeaking caused them to form some sort of giant blizzard of death, practically demolishing Spruce and leaving mint-tinged snow all over us and the front wall of the house. The others were probably also somehow bowled over by the attack.

I on the other hand simply wiped and waved off the snow clinging to my face, smirking before laughing uncontrollably. ""You-you- did you guys just tickle me?!"" I swatted at the air with my magnet, throwing a lump of snow off my radar dish and into a shrub. ""I'd clap, but I don't want my magnets to stick."" They must've forgotten I was a steel Pokemon; Ice, Bug, and worst of all Poison. Poisoning Steel? Let alone applying Ice and Bug to me? They practically poked me. ""Ok, seriously though - you three better have a fuckin' excuse for your death wish."" However, I felt somewhat nervous - ever since the crystal was taken, we had felt... on par with everyone. Despite this, I felt some sort of inner darkness, with lightning roaring in my mind, and even some sort of shadow looming over us. Which felt like a warning to myself more than anything.

To kick things off, I took lead of the group and thrust my magnet forward in the air, creating this oddly maroon red and yellow lightning which struck at least one of those idiots. However, to my shock, the Sneasel I had struck was still twitching and even groaned a bit, though he was definitely paralysed. <span class=""bb-i"">Oh, this isn't going to be easy</span></div>"

This attack hit the whole group, actually hurting Spruce like heck. Celes also got hurt like heck cause of the poison that was in the attack.
""What in the world..."" she says, before looking back, seeing her parents having gotten hit also, but in their side, they weren't as damaged. Just then, Celes father growled loudly. ""Attacking my family... you have made the biggest mistake of all!"" he says before suddenly letting out a psybeam attack towards the koffin. Her mother then rushed forwards and using faint attack on the zubat. Just then Celes slowly started to get up, only to see her bother rushing forwards and attacking the sneasle with fire fang, and William rushing and using thunder fang on the same sneasle. If only everyone in the family was here. Then that team would suffer their own family team attack. But with the amount of pokemons at the moment at the house, it was very stupid of them to even try to attack. She wanted to attack right now but the poisonous effect hurted her like heck at the moment. She needed to breath a bit at the moment to be able to continue.</div>"

<span class=""bb-i"">'Wow! And to think that all this time I had been angry at William for thinking that he was still a smeargle!'</span> I thought, and I walk with Will, Bonnie, and some other pokemon, and I see something attack Bonnie. I run, using Vine Whip on it, and I heard a cry of pain. ""Yeah! Take that, whatever you are!"" I say, and I use Vine Whip again. William was just sitting there, not attacking. ""What's wrong? Forgot how to attack?"" I ask after whatever was attacking us stopped. ""Well, I only know transform, and if we can't see what pokemon we're fighting, then I can't really transform.""</div>"

For some reason, the Mudkip Breen failed to respond to his staring ""is...is he awake?"" Kamina wondered. However his musings were cut short when some strange group of Pokemon attack, creating what looked like frozen poison which shattered and shot shards everywhere. Although since Kamina was still inside he was kept safe from them. ""You!"" He Splashed outside to confront the attackers ""I should have known you'd return...whoever you three are!"" He declared dramatically. ""I will not allow you to interrupt this beautiful family reunion!"" And that when Kamina started to glow <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dWZcF58EgA"">white</a>. His shape began to change, growing much bigger and serpent-like. To those who listened hard enough, they would be able to hear a heavy rocking song that seemed to be an anthem of escaping oppression and claiming victory...despite being in a completely different language. Those very same people would be later found to have been taking recreational drugs...so make of that what you will. When his transformation was complete, Kamina stood(?) no longer a weak and pathetic Magikarp...but a might Gyarados. His scales a much deeper and richer blue then the rest of his kind, almost looking like sapphires, while the crest on his forehead gleamed like solid gold. ""It's happened..."" Kamina's voice was filled with awe ""I always knew this day would come...but I never imagined it would feel this good..."" he started to weep manly tears of joy ""witness me and be amazed world!!!"" when Kamina was still just a little Magikarp, even his loudest yells weren't really that loud. However now that he was a Gyarados...things started to shake from the force caused by his voice crying out as loud as it could ""I have survived the great trial of life that all Magikarp must if they wish to rise up from the pit of weakness, and I did so with my own blood, sweat, and various other fluids! I have now claimed my reward; my new form! With it, I shall rise to even greater heights! Let these fools who would dare to intrude on such a heartwarming event serve as my warm up!"" as he said 'warm up' he body caught on fire...literally. He then, somehow (no questions dammit!) rushed at the three intruders while crying out ""<span class=""bb-b"">FLAME! CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>""

Bonnie thought his attempt to cuddle the sadness out of her was an attack 'clearly this calls for more cuddle therapy. No living creature should ever have to be afraid of cuddles.' He then adjusted the tightness level around Bonnie to one that could only be called 'extra snuggly.'This is the worst case of the frownies that I've ever seen. I never even thought a case this bad could be possible. Therefor, as her friend and resident  cuddleoagist, it is my duty to fix her.' He would have gone right along, diligently cuddling the sad bunny (stop laughing dammit! This is serious) if not for the Pokemon attacking them. ""How dare you! We are in the middle of an emergency cuddle session (why do you people keep laughing at me!?), so go away!"" he cried out while using Fairy Wind</div>"

He ended up aiming for Josh, though, which was odd, since one more Crunch probably would have been enough to finish Matt off. Anthony was following him around, trying to get the Scrafty to hit him so that he could use Counter. The Scrafty used Stone edge on him, but instead of allowing Anthony to counter it, it ended up knocking him out.

""That's not good."" Josh said.
Daniel used Shadow Rush, but it only hit once this time. Matt then used Recover, but once again, only once.
""Uh... guys? I think we might be a little bit doomed if we don't knock this guy out, ASAP,"" Daniel said.
Josh used Water Gun yet again, hoping to knock out or at least do decent damage to the Scrafty. They only had three teammates left, one of which couldn't even do any damage. They had to make every hit count if they wanted to win.</div>"

Xeno asked aloud, pressing his ear to the tunnel wall. Soon as he could hear better the answer became obvious, and the sableye began rushing back up the tunnel he'd made. It was deep, too deep apparently, and up above the little bit of light coming from the opening of the tunnel disappeared. Panic filled Xeno's mind as he crawled up onto the roof of the tunnel he'd made, watching as a few loose rocks tumbled past him. ""Damn,"" he sighed, looking towards what had been his exit. 

Hastily Xeno began crawling around on what short stretch of tunnel he had left, listening for something that might indicate a nearby cavern. Ears twitching, he began to pick up something, and started digging. He had more energy now, having found a small coal deposit, and silently cursed himself for not pursuing a food he didn't need to risk killing himself for.

Slowly the noise grew louder, until eventually the rock gave way by itself and Xeno tumbled down into a cavern. Nimbly he managed to recover from the fall and land on his feet, arms out for balance as dust and small chunks of rock fell from the ceiling. There were pokemon in here as Xeno had assumed, and quickly he began looking for an exit other than the one above him which didn't really lead anywhere.</div>"

The trio was pretty badly beaten down by everyone else, with Kamina's flame charge, Celes' father's psybeam, and M's odd lightning doing a ton of work, however just when I thought I might get the finishing blow, they all pull out some sort of golden oran berries, and eat them all at the same time. Somehow, the berry's juices seemed to heal whatever pain they were in, and even healed Sean's paralysis. ""Ah... that's better. Heh, you punks ready for round two?"" I couldn't help but faceleaf at the stupid sentence Sean put together in some attempt at being intimidating. Sean and his group then laughed, and Sean used Feint Attack on Celes' father, disappearing into the shadows for a moment before reappearing behind him while Carl floated over to Celes' mother, and used Poison Gas, possibly poisoning her. Bart then flew over to Celes' brother, and used Supersonic on him, hoping to confuse the flareon, and get him to attack his friends and family instead of them. I then manage to stumble over to Sean, and use Void Whip on him, though, the poison made it hard for me to actually use the attack, let alone hit him with it, I managed to do just that. Kamina seemed oddly faster after both evolving and using Flame Charge on these jerks. I almost forgot to say anything, but I thankfully remembered, saying ""Great job, Kamina!... sorry I don't sound very enthusiastic right now, poison will do that to you,"" Sean then disappeared into the shadows again, and hit Celes' father again with Feint attack, apparently hoping that the super-effective damage will be enough to take down the one who was probably the greatest offensive threat to their team. I try to use Void Whip again on Sean, and thankfully manage that, but afterwards, I almost feel as if I'm about to pass out from the poison. Bart then, rather stupidly flew towards M, and tried to use Supersonic on him, in yet another effort to confuse our team. Carl then floated over to Celes' brother, and used Smokescreen, trying to make sure that he can't hit anything.

Anthony was down and out, the rest of us were getting exhausted from the fight, and worse, our attacks weren't anywhere near enough to do anything of significance... well, either that, or this scrafty had an amazing poker face that could win him millions. I tried another shadow rush, but despite the supposed effectiveness of the attack, he seemed to just brush it off. ""What's the matter? You guys can't fight without your mascot?"" He jokingly asked us. I didn't reply, as I was too shy to talk to him. He was about to use another Crunch on Matt, however, some rocks, and a sableye came tumbling onto his head. ""Agh... okay, okay... just take the dang thing... why'd you have to have a bunch of traps, too?"" I didn't know what he was talking about, nor could I hear him very well under all those rocks, let alone the other pokemon, but I was more than happy to take that as a win. Static jumped out of Anthony's bag, and said ""Well? What are you waiting for? Let's grab the orb and get back to the guild!"" I've never actually seen the guild, but I assumed that this badge came from there. I then dig around in Anthony's bag, and pull out another badge, handing it to the mysterious sableye, as well as a strange, bluish gem, saying ""Here... you probably don't know it, but you saved our tails with your, um... excessive tunneling? Anyways, I'm sure Anthony wouldn't mind having you on the team,"" I smile at him, and head for the normal orb, picking it up in my talons, and passing it to Static, who put it somewhere in Anthony's bag. I then press the button, and teleport all of us, Static and the sableye included back to... whatever guild these badges went to.

The vine whip seemed to be more than enough to finish off the mystery pokemon, who revealed itself as a sandshrew after passing out on the hot desert sands. ""Hm... hey, William, are you absolutely sure you can't use Sketch again?"" I then ask William as I continue towards this supposed city, the sun and heat actually getting to me pretty badly. <span class=""bb-i"">Yeesh... I feel like I'm actually cooking in this heat... I think I was thinking about something earlier, but I can't remember anymore. This heat's getting to my head...</span> I think as I start stumbling around in the heat, my head feeling like it was on fire. Another pokemon attacked us, this time using Feint Attack, though, it didn't seem to actually hurt me that much. A closer inspection revealed the attacker to be a scraggy, and one that was ticked off at me... for some reason. I then notice that I was standing on his tail, and step back a little, though, that didn't stop him from attacking William with Low Kick, probably hoping to one-shot him with just the fact that it's a super-effective move, and given William's low weight, probably nothing else. I then use attract on the scraggy, who starts looking at me again, and fails to attack anyone. I manage to use pound, though, thanks to the desert heat, I hit a mirage double of the scraggy, and fall face-first into the sand, causing the scraggy to laugh at me. Dazed from the heat, I try, but fail to attack again, and I notice some strange things in the desert, such as another Wally's guild, a lake, and a cup of cold, refreshing water. I was getting delusional already, unfortunately, and I knew this wasn't going to stop any time soon.</div>"

Her father was hit hard, but still standing, breathing deeply before using psybeam. Her brother was confused, but then used dig, aiming towards the sneazle instead. Her mother though resisted the poison and then used faint attack on the koffing. William attacked to let out a thunderfang attack, but missed. Celes then got up, new determination in her eyes. She formed chains near her.
""Enough..."" she says before running forwards at full speed towards Sean and striking him with her chain, attempting to send him flying with this attack. She then moved right in front of her father after his attack.
""Celes?"" he says breathing deeply.
""Il try to fend the attacks off, you try to send more psybeams on those fools."" she then says. Her father then nods, ready to continue to strike. In his corner of his eye he saw a slight part of a black and white costume in her bag, but he didn't ask about it. Right now they had to fend off these guys.</div>"

""Um. You're- welcome?"" he began, being momentarily interrupted by the teleport. 

The surrounding area had spontaneously become altered, and they were now inside what looked to be one of the dwellings Xeno had seen earlier. Still horribly unsure of what had just happened the sableye's only thought was to consult the map he'd been given earlier, it having been folded up and tucked behind his ear. To do so he needed two hands though and put down both the crystal and badge, his face scrunching up in concentration as if looking at the map hard enough would reveal where he now was. The other pokemon didn't seem to be a threat, the beaked one having given him what he understood as a gift, but still he stayed alert to their actions.</div>"

I just kinda floated, but then of course I realised that wouldn't help our team out; ""Fuckin' hell!"" I guess, the only way to actually stop them now... was to beat them into submission. Death, if possible. Picking up an unusual frequency from my radar dish, I swiftly ducked and avoided the Supersonic attack, which was notorious for missing - and confusion powers. Unfortunately, that caused some glass to shatter behind us and make it rain everywhere. ""That was some prized glass from my friend's house. And you're using the cockiest move cowards use!"" With that, my hesitation was gone, replaced by anger and willingness to end this. I did something rather unusual: I didn't use my moves to attack. Noticing a series of flashing lights to the left of my vision, I quickly looked away and avoided being blinded. Noticing the Zubat was dazed and trying to focus on me, I... well, I tore my left magnet and attached to the end of my right magnet. I had some difficulty staying upright, but floating upwards and grabbing the Zubat with my appendage, I didn't care as I swung and hit the damn thing. Once, twice, thrice.

""Yeah, Bonnie. I'd need a new paper and pencil to use Sketch again,"" I say, walking with the group north. My vision got blurrier and more distorted from the intense heat, and a scraggy begins attacking. I push him into the sand face-first and I push his face into the sand, piling some sand over him until he was buried and could hardly move. I stand up, and look at Bonnie, and I say ""Hey, what are you looking at?"" as I look in whatever direction she was looking at. ""Oh! The town! We found it!"" I say, looking to the left a bit. I run towards the village, and when we get there, I saw a scrafty, eating some sort of meat.

As he was busy giving Bonnie some emergency cuddle therapy, the fight with the Scraggy passed before he could do anything about it. When Bonnie fell down, he fell with her, and by the time he had gotten back up, the Scraggy had been buried in the sand. With that taken care of, he could turn to more pressing matters ""bad Bonnie"" he chastised her as he slapped her with his tail...although considering the fact that he really didn't have many muscles in the tip of his tail, it most likely felt like more of a sideways flick then a slap. ""No using Attract! That's a bad Bonnie. You're too eager to use that move. What are you going to do when you face someone it doesn't work on; hold them down and slowly peal away the outer layer of their body!? That's what bad guys do Bonnie, you're not a bad guy.

The poison was really starting to get to me, well, either that, or M was actually beating down Bart with his magnets. ""M... no... they might be evil, but that's a little harsh, don't you think?"" I try to say to him, considering the fact that he might be going a little... insane. I then use void whip on Carl, who seemed pretty badly hurt from Celes' father's psybeam attack. He then turned his attention towards me, and laughs before using smog, filling the air, and unfortunately, my lungs with even more poison... enough so that I passed out right then and there. ""Ugh... they're just too much now..."" I say as I pass out, well, that is, if you could hear me past the gurgling noises, and the thud of me hitting the floor. The last thing I heard before I lost consciousness was a horrifying screech from Bart. Sean seemed almost done for after the array of attacks that were launched at him, and obviously Bart wasn't going anywhere anymore. Sean, horrified at what M was doing, shouts ""BART! Come on, man, get up! Do something! Get out of there! Carl, you gotta help me help him!"" at the unconscious Bart, as well as Carl who responds ""B...boss? Are you sure he's still... alive?"" Sean then obviously panics, but doesn't do anything until he uses powder snow to fill the room with icy, frozen water, apparently, to hit everyone, though, something seemed to tell him that it wouldn't do much, especially to the nearly-invincible M.

""Town? Bad? What's going on?"" I ask the group as William and Samuel start heading off towards the oasis that I 'saw', and Tini for some reason attacked me, and then started eating himself. He starts going off on some sort of tangent about how I shouldn't ever use attract again, and I end up saying ""Tini... it's just a move. Besides, that move, at least for a while, was the only thing keeping my mother alive... she taught me that move, and it's the only thing I have left to remember her by. I will use that move with pride, Tini... even if it doesn't work on my father, and about half of the pokemon population,"" of course, the heat was making me delusional, so, for all I know he could have been talking about spaghetti, or something. Things weren't looking all too great for me... somehow, I started to feel like I was poisoned, and about to throw up. That accompanied with the headache I had wasn't very pleasant. I simply followed, nodding my head whenever someone finished saying something ""Yeah... okay... sneaky... got it,"" I quietly say, as I hold my head from the pain. <span class=""bb-i"">Ugh, holding my head from a headache?

Putting two and two together, Xeno came to realize these were like the others he had found in what the Quagsire from early had called 'Allure Town'. The inside of the dwelling seemed to fit even if he still didn't know how he got there, and Xeno became a little more trusting.

""My uh- name is Xeno,"" the sableye answered to the pichu, folding up his map as he watched a slimy looking pokemon approached where the two of them were. <span class=""bb-i"">Filthy?</span> the sableye thought briefly, looking down at his free hand then glancing at the hand that held his map. Where he'd touched it he'd left a few faint black smudges but not enough to really be 'filthy'. ""They aren't as dirty as they look,"" Xeno commented a little absentmindedly, holding up his free hand to show what he meant. ""Most of it doesn't come off at this point; it's more stain than filth,"" he continued to explain, his interest shifting to the two objects he'd lain on the floor. Putting down his Map Xeno grabbed the badge and gem, holding them up and asking, ""Are these of importance?""

It was odd having a proper conversation twice in one day, and Xeno couldn't help but feel a slight warmth like he'd used to back in his infancy. His presence didn't seem to agitate anyone like he'd been so used to and it was pleasant.</div>"

""Spruce.... please be ok."" shes says, before turning and looking at M, who was about to kill Bart with all this.
""M, enough! We do not want to end up with murder in our hands! Just stop now! We will tie them up and bring them to justice, just stop!"" she then yells at him, moving quickly. Seriously, if M were to act like this, then he might get serious trouble, like possibly a good while in the prison of Allure town. They really didn't need that at the moment. Sure they needed to faint those guys, but not kill them. God... that would be just barbaric and cruel.

Josh looked at the orb. He expected it to take a lot longer to find one of them, but the only reason they found this one in the first place was because Darkrai told them where it was. The others would probably be much harder to find.
""So, Static, do you happen to know where the other three orbs are? Or at least have a general idea of where they might be hidden?"" Josh asked. He knew this was unlikely, but Static was the only one there who really knew anything about them.

Xeno held up the badge and gem Daniel gave him earlier, asking if they were important.
""That's your guild badge. It lets you teleport back here if you ever get into trouble, or if you just need to get back here quickly."" Josh said. ""And the gem...I'm not sure what it does. You'll have to ask Anthony.""</div>"

With one hard slam to the left, the Zubat was forced onto the rough path to Celes' house, coughing out the last few bits of blood in its stomach. ""I'm not done yet... I'm not done yet Celes, I'm not done yet..."" I said, twitching and enjoying a brief bit of happiness. Ignoring Celes... was quite hard, and I had to swallow everything I knew about myself. Then again, no one was to harm my teammates. Those bastards thought they could rob this house. In the end, they were criminals. Those Pokemon didn't look good in a certain page in my book. ""They have no right to become petty robbers, let alone be able to harm us..."" My voice quivered as I finished my sentence. All I saw were horrified faces, frozen and trying to think about better days. As I approached them however, to my own fading anger, I could see it wasn't just Team Zan in despair. In front of just about everyone... even Celes' family and our teammates... I knew the general consensus was how far I would go. No one expected this after all, not from me. I felt as if life owed me though. ""I... r-run! God damn it, bollocks! I'm comin' for your arses!"" And with that, I shooed them off into the wild plains, striking lightning bolts to send a message. I scorched a small patch of rough shrub, leaving just a flower consumed by small flames. The natural sound of the plains had gone, with the Zubat still bleeding from its head and trying to groan. Some of the family members glared at me, while others gave me signs of disapproval and tried to help the Zubat. In the distance, I just saw limping and crying. I stuck my magnet back onto myself, watching it wriggle a bit. I frankly didn't care about the red tinge beginning to develop. It was likely blood anyway.

""Let's just go. Come on."" Quietly, I floated over to Celes, avoiding interaction with anyone else as I picked up Spruce's unconscious grey body, waiting for anyone to teleport for us. I knew what I was starting to become, though I was afraid to confront it afterwards.</div>"

Quickly Xeno withdrew his hand, finding the texture of Matt to be somewhat unpleasant as he was used to solid and plain surfaces.

""Team,"" Xeno muttered as a few other pokemon began to discuss something. His attention was drawn again to the objects he'd been given, and his earlier question was thankfully answered. ""And 'Anthony' is the other squishy one, correct?"" Xeno tried to clarify, attention turning to the pokemon in question. He'd need to figure out exactly what was going on regarding this 'team' but that didn't seem important at the moment.

With their foe's routed and the atmosphere ruined, all they could do was return home. ""Until next time Celes' family"" Kamina said before activating his badge to teleport them back the the guild. Once they returned, Kamina took Spruce form M and handed him over the Celes ""here; our good friend Spruce will need treatment soon. As his lover, I think he would rather have you by his side. As for us; M and I have some things to talk about."" For a brief second, Kamina marveled over how he now towered over everyone else. It was quite a novel feeling. Grabbing M with his mouth, Kamina took him to the team's room before letting him go ""I saw how you acted at the end of that fight. Is there anything you want to talk about?""

""... Bonnie, I think everyone in our team is fit to go to an insane asylum..."" I say, looking at Tini as he freaks out and then breaks... something, and then faints. Suddenly, a group of Sandslash and Scrafty and other pokemon approach. ""Hey!"" one of them says. ""INVADERS!"" another one yells, and they begin to charge at us. ""I really wish I had something other than transform right now!"" I say, becoming a Scrafty. I look at them and use High Jump Kick on a Scrafty, which made him fall over and bleed from the nostrils, but he got back up and used Crunch, biting my hand. After he let go, a Sandslash used Fury Swipes and cut my arms an front, and I said ""I think I need help!"" as the other Sandslash begins to attack Samuel.

I woke up in front of the mission board with only Celes near me, and a giant snaketrack in the wood leading somewhere. <span class=""bb-i"">That M... he almost killed someone!

Maybe he's just stressed out</span> I think as I try to think of some way to lighten him up, or, cheer him up. <span class=""bb-i"">Maybe a good old-fashioned prank would do. I've still got that bucket in my room, all I'd need is some water, and a door.</span> I ponder as I head towards my team's room, making a note of where that indent led, as well as a single poke that seems to have fallen off of someone. I take the bucket from behind my bed, one that I used to use to occasionally refill the guild's well during droughts, a job that I never liked too much, and I head off, passing by Celes again. I head towards the guild's well, which wasn't too far. Just a few steps to the right of the guild, and there it was, missing bucket and everything. I tied the rope to my bucket, and lowered it into the well, eventually getting some water, and raising the bucket back up. Obviously, it was much heavier like this, so it took a little longer than lowering it. As soon as the bucket was back up above ground, I took it using my vines, and headed back towards that room that M MIGHT have been in... with my only clues being a giant snake track, and a single pokecoin that nobody seemed to want for some reason. I open the door very slightly and very carefully, and place the bucket on the top of the door using my vines. I then head back up to the mission board, standing next to Celes as I act like I've been looking at missions this whole time.

""Hey! That's my water gem... actually... I think you can keep it. I don't use Bubble all that often anyways,"" I say to Xeno, as I notice him hold up the water gem I was saving in my bag. It was originally going to be a gift to Martin for being my friend and helping me and my mother out of our situation, but, well... everything kinda changed that day, and I found out what Martin was really up to. I heard that sableye, such as Xeno, eat gems as if they were food, so, I'm sure that he'd appreciate the gem, at the very least. I then explain Xeno's possible confusion on the word 'team', saying ""Well, as a teammate of ours, you can, fistly, always teleport back here, using that badge, but it also means that we will help you out of any bad situations you might find yourself in, and you'll do the same for any of us... oh, and we split all of the reward money amongst each other... I hope you at least know what money is,"" I then head towards the outlaw board, and notice a very familiar-looking mudkip on a poster. 

<div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent""><div class=""bb-indent"">'This hoodlum has been seen kidnapping and stealing from rookie and veteran

The reward seemed to be a hefty 4,000 poke, that is, after the guild fee, of course. I then showed the poster to the rest of the team, wondering if they also remembered this mudkip... from when they first met me, of course.

""So much for stealth... urg..."" I comment as I notice a giant group of enemies appear. Two scrafty were already trying to use high jump kick on me, and the only thing I could think of doing was to duck. It worked on one of the attacks, but the other nailed me right in the face, and flung me backwards several feet. I try to use attract on one of them, however, she, as I now know, simply laughed at me, and tried to attack again, this time with low kick. I jump to avoid that attack, and head over to the sandslash, using frustration on him, somehow dealing quite a bit of damage. ""Tini, mind using Fairy Wind? There are a lot of enemy fighting types, around,"" I say to Tini, who seemed dazed and confused after waking up. The two scrafty from earlier then show up again, and, cornered, I try to think of something to do, and end up basically flinging myself towards the scrafty who laughed at me earlier, making sure to kick as I jumped towards her... I think I might have just used jump kick, somehow. Either way, the move knocked her down, and allowed me to escape, or, at least, get out of that mess. I wasn't going to leave the rest of my team behind, but I wasn't about to be stuck with two scrafty and a sandslash all trying to attack me at once. The other scrafty, as in, the one I didn't knock out yet, then runs towards me, and I try to use the move again, but, the heat finally gets to me ""Water... shade..."" I say just before I pass out from, well, I guess the heat of this place, alone. I could hear someone laughing at me as I said that, but what could I do, right?</div>"

""I guess I need to go also."" she says before her mom moved closer.
""Before you go... I want to give you something..."" she says. She then goes back in the house, and comes back with a silvery pendant. Celes looks at it before her mother opens it, revealing what seemed a picture of a sylveon with a leafeon. She looked at it.
""What is this?"" she asks, her mother looking down, saddened.
""Something we never told you about. Something we wanted to tell you for a long time..."" she then says, with Celes staring at the picture of the couple. She looks at them, feeling a chill slightly.
""What.... who are they?"" Celes asks, with her mother crying just a bit.
""They.... they are your real birth parents."" Her mother then says. Celes stares at her in shock, looking at her.
""H...How?"" she asks. Her father moves forwards.
""You see... one day your birth mother arrived at our house, bloody, almost dead. She was saying something about shadows chassing her, wanting her dead. With her... was a egg in her bag. She told us to take care of the egg... as if it was our own child. It was her lasts words before she... died... We had burried her, sad about what happened, and wanted to give her last wish. We took care of you."" He then said. Celes looked down, sad a bit.
""With all the differences you had, we knew you were not a normal eevee, but we still wanted to love you just the way you were. Though more and more you started to feel.. ghosts moving to the house, causing trouble. We were worried that it might make you get hurt... We wanted you to change because we wanted you to be able to protect yourself, though we were too hard on you... We are sorry about this."" her mother then says. Celes looked down.
""All this time.... all this time I was adopted... All this time I though it was just me being strange."" she says, with her mother looking down.
""The pendant is the last memory of your parents. We never knew what happened to your real father, but seeing how your mother died... he probably met the same fate."" Her mother says. Celes looks down.
""I need to think.... Thank you... mom... dad...."" she says, saddened by this. They moved closer for a group hug. Celes looked at them and at her family that was there.
""Well... here I go... goodbye."" she says before using her badge, teleporting back to the guild.

When she got to the guild, she saw that Spruce was back up, feeling better now, waken up. Around her own neck was the pendant which she holded with one paw, thinking, before seeing Kamina going taking M and bringing him to a room, probably to scold him or something for how he acted back there. She then saw Spruce going and placing a water bucket at the same door that Kamina brung M to. She sighed calmly. This could make M pissed off a bit like back there. She never saw him get so angry before. She just hoped that he would be alright. She then turned around and looked at the board, rather silent, not saying a word now. She looked at her pendant a bit more, opening it with her paw, looking at the picture of the sylveon and the leafeon, looking happy, looking forwards. A deep uncomprehensable sadness was felt inside of her. All this time she never knew her real parents... and that ghost that she saw before. She looked at the picture of the sylveon. Her mother... her real mother. It is like if she was always with her, even after death.</div>"

Secondly, I was intimidated. Thirdly, I was annoyed.

Shocked: Of course, I still couldn't believe Spruce was badly beaten by Team Zan. It didn't help I tried to kill them, and not in a way which they'd faint. I just banged my head against the wall, remaining there and trying to pretend as if I was as weak as the others. Truth was, I barely even got a scratch. It occurred to me I was now the guardian of the group, though that role was quite twisted with me being the supposed guardian. I drove them off, but I witnessed a side of myself that pointed out the flaws in myself.

I kinda kept banging gently against the wall at regular intervals. However, not one minute went past when suddenly I was jerked by my magnet.

Intimidated: Well, oh shit. I forgot Kamina had evolved and somehow grabbed me with his fins. I was forced into another room, clearly disused and seemingly used for storage. Cloth lay on the floor and on pieces of unused furniture, gathering dust and even a bit of mold. How the hell did he know about this pla-

No point talking like that - I don't have a mouth. I rubbed my eye with my rather odd appendage from behind, wondering why it resembles some dark hand now. Even worse, my magnets started to feel rather... bendy. Some shit was definitely going on. The feeling of worry set in, but soon enough I was quite annoyed.

Annoyed: Kamina had dragged me here to get some answers out of me. Against my will. Well, time to repay that. I stood my ground, not willing to be intimidated nor hassled over recent events. I frowned at Kamina, focusing on the facts. ""I was doing my job. Those bastards were suddenly as deadly as Desia herself."" I said, keeping my distance and drawing comparisons to the real threat to the world. ""Surely you wouldn't just sit back and watch our leader getting beaten down like a horse, no?"" Without even saying goodbye, I had already slammed the door on my way out, intent on returning to Spruce and getting the fuck away from the truth.

...Anger: Though, it seemed life had other plans. I WANTED TO get away, but before I knew it I had gotten water all over my fucking face, as well as a bucket painfully dropping onto my eye. Normally, if you WEREN'T a Magnemite, you'd just be annoyed. This was lethal, that bucket of water. I had felt the energy behind drained out of me within seconds. ""Ok. Just who the fuck did that...?"" I said, eerily calmly while popping off the radar dish on top of my body.</div>"

Xeno began nodding again, a little more confidently as he looked back up at the other pokemon. ""Yes, team would be a good thing,"" he thought aloud, starting to actually like the idea. If all he needed to do was aid them they would supposedly aid him in return, a concept he'd had thoughts about before but never really had the chance to try as before nobody had wanted his help.

Unsure what to do now, Xeno took a brief stock of his items. A map leading to the mountains, his new badge (which was only the slightest bit dirty now from him holding it for as long as he had), and a 'water gem' that could serve as a snack later. He'd only just recently ate, as he had been successful finding coal in the mountains, and Xeno licked between his teeth out of habit to try and salvage any remaining coal dust on his teeth. </div>"

Yeah...no. Kamina wasn't going to let it end here. Going out the door, he snatched M back and brought him back to the room ""okay, clearly you misunderstood me. I didn't drag you here to talk about you fighting back to defend our friend and comrade Spruce, I dragged you here to talk about why you did it so brutally. I can understand getting passionate in a fight, however I never aim to torture someone in a fight, getting angry just makes me want to end it sooner. What I saw you do on the other hand, looked like you were trying to make him suffer rather then defeat him. Not only that; but I've never seen you express so much emotion. To me, this seems like a sign of some sort of physiological issue. And don't say I wouldn't understand!"" His voice as he said that last sentence 

""In case you forgot; less then an hour ago, I was a Magikarp. And while I've never regretted being born a Magikarp...that doesn't mean life was easy for me before I joined the guild. I'll admit it; Magikarp are naturally the weakest race of Pokemon alive, so it's not hard to imagine that we end up targets of cruel people. I've been beaten up more times then I can remember, just because I couldn't fight back. This led to me developing some...mental problems. Getting over them was a long and painful process. The difference between me an you is this; I had to deal with all of those problems alone, you don't. Because unlike I was back then; you are not alone. You have people around you who care about your well being, myself included. You don't have to deal with this the hard way; all alone. I know what it feels like to hurt inside so bad, that physical pain starts to become become duller. So while I might not understand whatever it is that you're going through, I can understand pain. I don't expect to get your entire life story. Right now all I want is for you to admit that you do have a problem, and that you want help. So please M, let me help you""

Now however, they were being attacked by a group of Pokemon that had (from his point of view) come out of nowhere. Of course, there was only one logical conclusion ""WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY NINJAS!""...to anyone use Tini logic. Leaping to action, Tini declared ""don't worry guys, my old mentor taught me how to fight ninjas.

After seeing Bonnie faint, and the scrafty laugh at her and then promptly get wounded by Tini's attack, I had my head placed between the covered foot of a scrafty and a sandstone wall. They used High Jump Kick, and I think I lost a tooth and my nose was bleeding. I stood up and looked at the scrafty, spat out the tooth dust, and took a bottle, throwing it right into the thing's head! It fell over and I ran and took the bottle and hit it once more, for good measure. I wiped my nose, and ran over to help Tini with the final scrafty and sandslash.

After actually looking for a new mission, and taking one off that had to do with finding some sort of rare gummi in some place called 'sludgy swamp', I notice Celes looking at an open pendant with what appeared to be one of her brothers, and another sylveon... though... I'm sure we would have heard about it if one of her brothers got married, and I'm certain they'd notice another sylveon in the family, given that, at least five minutes ago, Celes was the only one. I then got a look at her face. For some reason, Celes was staring at the pendant with a look of sadness... why, though? ""Celes, are you okay?"" I ask her, looking at the pendant, myself, and trying to figure out what about the thing could have possibly caused this. I then show her the mission, and say ""Since we have no idea where to go next, I suppose we could take on this mission, right? Maybe it'll cheer you up,"" I then look back to see what happened with M, and, it appears as if he fell for the prank, and the door was open, but some loud roaring from Kamina could be heard from inside the room. That was odd... it was as if M got out of the room, had the bucket of water fall on him, and then Kamina just pulled him back in for another round of lecturing, or something. ""Maybe we should wait for those two, first,"" I then add, not trying to get ahead of myself this time, and not trying to leave any potentially useful party members behind.

[Bonnie]

I was knocked out from the desert heat alone, but, my mind was anything but peaceful at this time. Images, and faint memories of my past with my father flashed by, oddly enough, without any color, this time... as painful as those were, the worst part was the memory that didn't just flash by, it stayed... the one where I caught my dad eating my recently-murdered mother's corpse. He said his usual threat, 'If you say a word about this... you're next!' This would normally be about the time when I would close the door, and run away, but this time, it was worse, I wasn't just running from the scene I just saw, no, I was running from my father, as well! Looking back, he was chasing me with all the speed he was known for, and I was thankfully, at least a step or two ahead of him. ""You squealed, you little piggie!"" I hear him shout from behind me. <span class=""bb-i"">This is just some horrible nightmare... just a nightmare and nothing more...</span> I think as I continue to run from my obviously angry father, oh, why did the BLOOD on his face have to be the only thing that had any color in this twisted nightmare? Eventually, I make it to the guild, yet, none of the pokemon there were moving. I couldn't interact with them either, not even William, Tini, or Samuel, all of whom were just standing by the mission board, still as a rock. I looked around them and noticed that they weren't even blinking. I then hear my father again ""They can't help you, and in the case of Tini, they WON'T help you, Bonnie. Don't you understand? They're good pokemon, they know that if they say anything, I'll come for them, too... so, they're keeping quiet about this, and they're keeping out of it, too,"" I tried to head to the ladders to get somewhere else, but my father was too quick, and easily blocked the only exit. ""No... this isn't real! None of this is real! They'd help me, they're my friends, my teammates!"" I shout to my father, who just laughs, and says ""Are they? Are you SURE you can trust them? Go ahead, try to get their help... just try it, I dare you,"" he then sat back, and waited there as I shouted to William, first, then Samuel, and after that, Tini... to no avail, unfortunately.

[Anthony]

Josh recognized the villain on the wanted poster, yet Daniel seemed utterly confused until Josh cleared it up for him. Daniel then asked ""Are you absolutely sure that we can trust Anthony with this mission?"" I was taken back by that, and answer with ""Of course you can! I've fought the man to a stalemate before, but I kept going, I think I'm more than ready to fight him again,"" Daniel then just says ""Alright, I guess, let's go, then,"" he then flies out of the guild, and I was expected to follow. I did so with my usual speed, saying to Xeno as I leave ""By the way, missions are typically dealt with in mystery dungeons like this one, ugh, just follow us and we'll usually find our way there, um, eventually,"" I then try to figure out where Daniel flew to, but trying to follow his shed feathers didn't get me anywhere until he dropped from the sky and asked ""Why are you so sluggish, Anthony?"" He then cackled at his own joke, and I mumble something that not even I knew what it was, and just continue on, knowing that with my speed, the others wouldn't lose sight of me unless they planned on having lunch before leaving again, or something. As I was slowly heading for Foggy Plains, Daniel literally flew circles around me, making wisecracks as he did so, mainly about my speed. Normally this would get to me, but I let it slide, given that I knew he didn't mean any of it, he just wanted to get there faster than I could, or, he knew this was going to take a while, so he was trying to lighten up the mood while we traveled.</div>"

""Oh... I... I am ok... it's just..."" she says, looking at the pendant.
""Something my parents said before they let me go... They gave me this..."" she says, looking at the image, a slight sadness.
""Something about my own pass. I... I discovered that they actually adopted me from when I was just a egg... My real mother was killed. She had been injured to death but was able to bring me to my current family before dying."" she says, looking at the image a bit more.
""I didn't tell anyone but one night after we fought against your brother, I woke up, only to see a strange ghost of a sylveon. Next thing I knew I went back to sleep. I though it was just a dream but it felt so real... and strange. I still don't know exactly where my own powers come from, but I expect it has something to do with her. With how she was before."" she says, looking down and then at the door where M was brough with Kamina.
""I think we should leave them be. I think they might have a lot of things to talk about."" shes says before sitting down, calmly, looking at the pendant a bit more.
""To think all this time, when I felt ghost's around the house... most of the times was her watching over me... even after death."" she says.


------------------------

Meanwhile, at the entrance to Distant Desert up from north, a figure was walking forwards, a large rag covering him, protecting him from the wind and sun. Eralion was moving forwards, looking at a distance into the large desert ahead. He had been training to survive harsh places for a while now, surviving. The sun was beating down on him, the heat being harsh. His rags were used to protect him from the weather of this place, but he didn't have much else for supplies. A gourd of water with some oran berries with him, as well as a apple. He knew he had to pass the whole desert. For him, this was a test of will and strength more then anything. A test to see if he was fit to join the guild or not.  He continued forwards, seeing at a distance some Bunnelby digging tunnels underground. He kept moving, entering into the heat of the desert. It was time for his test to begin. As he continued to move, he was sudden attacked by a mud slap of a diglett. He turned to look at it, with the diglett looking... menacing at him, eyes of hate. Seriously... He quickly rushed and used karate chop, striking the thing right in the head, making it drop down in the floor. It then popped up right behind him and used scratch on him. He turned around. How the heck does a diglett use scratch anyway? He used karate chop again, fainting the digglet now. He breath deeply as he continue to move onwards. He continued to move, seeing multiple pokemons that attacked him, until he saw a village in the distance. He was hearing a uproar. He moved closer, but stayed hidden, before entering. He was listening carefully, hearing something about a sacrifice and a pokemon that was going to be offered. He stayed hidden. Those guys... wanting to hurt someone just for their beliefs. He moved silently, hoping to see the flaaffy and possibly free it.

According to Anthony, they were heading towards a dungeon, and all Xeno could think of for a response was a shrug as he tucked away his map and new badge, one behind each ear. With nowhere to put it Xeno still held the gem in his hand, contemplating eating it now as even if he wasn't hungry it would be good nutrition.

Once outside, Xeno's eyes took a little while to properly adjust and he constantly held his empty hand over his forehead to shield his eyes. Eventually though the sting of the light lessened and Xeno found so long as he avoided looking to the sky he felt fine. This did however restrict him to following Anthony specifically, though he didn't mind too much as he kept a steady pace. After a while of walking, Xeno could feel something in the back of his throat and began to cough, holding his fist to his mouth to try and quiet himself as oily black saliva sputtered from his large mouth. After his short coughing fit he regained his posture though and kept moving, such a thing being normal for him.</div>"

I looked about and saw a well in the middle of town, and I ran over, cranking the handle and watching the bucket go down, and when it came back up, it had nothing but dust and dirt. I sighed, and took a look at our badges. They were red, so we couldn't just leave unless we wanted to give up all our money and let someone die. I rub my eyes, and look, seeing a large crowd. There was a mutilated-looking flaafy tied to a large wooden stake, with bundles of sticks and dry grass being carried by a charizard. I looked at the size of the crowd; Almost 10 pokemon. There was no way we were going to defeat all of them, so I whispered to Tini ""There's nothing we can do for now... just go back and take care of Bonnie, I think I may have a plan..."" and I transformed into a Sandshrew and blended in with the crowd. I watched them set up the stake and the flaafy woke up. He could hardly speak, but he began to faintly sing a tune. The charizard set fire to the sticks and grass around the stake. The flaafy began to cry. I gulped, since this wasn't going to be easy. I hid quickly, and transformed into an invisible kecleon, and snuck up while they were circling and chanting to Giratina, and I picked at the ropes, and then took a stick and set fire to the knot. The flaafy fell into the fire, and I tackled him out of it, and broke through the crowd with him and began on a wild goose chase, before getting back to the 'safehouse'. The flaafy was unconscious again, so I set him on the bed and I heard the crowd approach the house.</div>"

They were moving at a painfully slow pace, but most of the group didn't seem to mind. They were used to it at this point. It would take them a while to get to Foggy Plains, though.
Josh looked at Xeno for a moment. He seemed to be having trouble adjusting to the sunlight. ""So, where are you from, Xeno? I'm assuming you used to live in a cave. You don't seem to be used to the sunlight yet."" Josh said. ""I had trouble adapting to everything when I first came here, too. You'll get used to all of it eventually.""</div>"

I don't need help and I won't bug you for it, so do me a favour and respect my decision."" I had no idea what that fish wanted from me. 'Psychological issues' my ass. I had bigger issues to deal with, such as finding out who nearly killed me with a bucket of water. Slipping my radar dish back on my head, I hid my anger from Kamina as I left the dust-filled room again, not willing to talk to my own teammates over supposed trauma. I got over my shit, and so far it's just made me stronger. I was left with the smell of embers and fresh water, wiping myself as I would get to the bottom of this mystery. Despite hiding my anger, something dark was brewing in my face. I had just gotten out of a fight for our lives, single-handily driving those try-hard kids away - and instead I was getting shit for it. We were all battered of course, but I was close to snapping thanks to issues that couldn't be fixed through violence.

""Hey, Spruce."" I yelled out, noticing him waiting outside and looking better than before. Same with Celes, though I expected her to be annoyed after our quick exit and show of brutality. ""Do you know any sons-of-bitches who just happened to misplace a water bucket, hm?"" I came up to him and Celes, contempt on my mind. ""Y'know, I nearly died.""</div>"

After M left in a huff, Kamina sighed ""it seems like I failed to get through to you friend. I have to admit; this isn't quite the glorious introduction to the life of a Gyarados. Then again; I suppose I've gotten used to life letting me down, so I can't say I'm surprised."" Kamina then left the impromptu intervention room. ""Perhaps I should check on Spruce now. Or maybe not...I wouldn't want to intrude on his alone time with Celes after all. They don't get enough of it as is. I suppose that leaves me with nothing to do now. I guess I might as well take a nap now."" With his monologue finished, he went to the room he shared with his team, only to find out something he hadn't thought about ""...that's right; I got bigger, <span class=""bb-i"">a lot</span> bigger. It looks like my old bed won't fit me anymore. Perhaps this new body is going to take far more getting used to then I expected."" He then coiled his body up for a nap

<span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span>

Tini was torn. On the one hand, he needed to save those poor crazy villagers with his frying pan. But on the other hand, his friends were counting on him. Such an internal struggle tore at the poor little guy's mind relentlessly...for about 5.3 seconds. Putting his trusty frying pan on his head like a helmet and giving William an adorable salute with the tip of his tail he said ""you can count on me."" He then proceeded to stare at Bonnie intensely</div>"

I honestly didn't know how to respond to Celes' description of the amulet, and the fact that it had a picture of her dead parents in it, but, whatever I would have said was obviously going to be cut short, as it seemed as though my prank didn't do anything to calm M, no, instead, it enraged him. ""Uh... I did... why?"" I ask M before he explains how he supposedly died. I then add ""What? How? Water isn't exactly lethal to electric types, is it?"" After that, I think a bit, remembering type match-ups, and say ""No... if that were true, water would at least be super effective against electric types. How did that nearly kill you?"" This was strange, given that he really shouldn't have been all too harmed by the liquid, and somehow, I could almost feel something else stirring inside of M... something more... well... evil, and somehow, I could also see a faint image of Yveltal surrounding M. Of course, I ignored what was probably a hallucination, or a trick, but even so, I found it difficult to speak after my previous statement. I then look around the room for anyone who might be able to help me out in case things went south, but, the only one I could find was Celes... and I already knew she can't handle steel types very well, thanks to her fairy typing. If she knew some sort of confusion, or sleep move then we'd have a chance, but, no... if he decided to betray us right here, I'm not sure if I'd be able to stop him... not with whoever was nearby at the moment.

[Bonnie]

My father laughs at my failed attempts to get any sort of help from my friends, their blank stares doing nothing to help, either. ""Why...?"" I end up asking, with a voice that used to be all too familiar to me... a quiet, scared-sounding voice, my own from before I was able to escape my house. My father apparently overheard that, as he answered ""Because you've betrayed every single one of them. Yes, you've done something horrible to each and every one of these so-called 'friends', Bonnie, so now they're just going to leave you here... with me,"" I then finally get some sort of speech from them, starting with Tini, who turned to face me, and whose voice sounded angry ""You used one of the Three Unforgivable Moves, even AFTER I told you to stop,"" William then added, turning towards me just as Tini did, his voice sounding more annoyed than mad ""Why did you ditch us back in that mansion? You could have killed us all, and, what? Just because you're afraid of a SKITTY!?"" Before I could answer, Samuel turned, and with a voice as angry as Tini's said ""I know you think I'm some sort of idiot for burning that place down, but, let's face it, we didn't have any other options! You're not a genius, yourself!"" I then manage a ""But... I..."" unfortunately, I didn't have any excuse, and at this point, I couldn't find any redeeming qualities I could point out to the trio. ""Ah... I see that you're finally realizing that you're dead weight. You're not just weighing down the team with your uselessness, either, you're weighing down the planet,"" my father then said to me, knowing that I was too emotionally beat down to actually attack him at this point. An image of my mother's head then appeared next to my father, and holding back a scream, I hear my father explain ""This could have been avoided you know... if you never said a word about what you saw that night, this never would have happened... but, I guess we can't trust you with any sort of knowledge, can we?"" I try to manage an answer to my father's question, but can't come up with anything, only thinking <span class=""bb-i"">Why do my dreams have to torture me? Why can't I just have normal, happy dreams like everyone else? Have I really wronged that many pokemon?</span> My father then finally attacks, and with me having no real escape. He apparently wasn't greedy today, as he went for slash rather than pay day. I had no escape... I wasn't in the right mind set to attack back, or even evade at this point... the only good thing about this was the fact that I was dreaming... right? RIGHT?

[Anthony]

I just kept moving along, noticing that Xeno and Josh seem to have something in common, but not saying anything about it. Eventually, I make it to what could be described as foggy plains, mainly because it as foggy, and as far as I could see, the land was, well, plain. For a brief moment, I see a silhouette of a mudkip, a pokemon that was normally foreign to these plains, and obviously our target. The silhouette was gone before I could act, or say anything, but, at least I knew he was here, and probably not too far from us at the moment. I then notice some clouds moving around, and eventually end up taking an astonish attack from said clouds, somehow. <span class=""bb-i"">Moving clouds? Attacking clouds? Wait... aren't swablu common in this area? Oh... this must be one of those.</span> I think as I try to use bubble on the moving clouds, unfortunately missing them. Daniel then appears behind the clouds, using assurance on the pokemon, this time hitting, and actually doing some damage to the hidden pokemon. It then flies away squawking and shouting ""BOSS! They're tough!"" that was odd. ""Hm... seems like Martin found some new recruits..."" I say to the rest of my team as I watch the pokemon fly off and attempt to follow it to, well, hopefully the 'boss', my old buddy. Either we really were too tough for the area, or that pokemon just gave up too easily, as all it took to scare the thing was one attack not missing due to the fog of the area. Unfortunately, I couldn't track the swablu too far, and ended up waiting, no, not for my team, I'm too slow to ever have to wait for my team, I was waiting for another pokemon to appear so I could scare it into bringing us closer to Martin, and whatever group of thugs he banded together since he apparently escaped from jail.</div>"

I'm not sure I can go home,"" Xeno replied to Josh, shaking his shoulders to try and get rid of any thoughts regarding the dark crevice he'd nearly died in. The light wasn't too bad so long as he didn't look up, and upon reaching the foggy plains the low hanging mist in the air served to block out some of the light in the sky.

Tired of holding the gem in his hand, Xeno popped the rock in his mouth, chewing noisily as it was ground to powder and he swallowed. Faintly the sableye could see things moving through the mist, his keen eyes picking up shapes here and there but upon realizing they could be hostile his curiosity was replaced with paranoia. ""Wait, why are we here? Are these things after us?"" Xeno began asking, noticing the group continued moving and he quite persistently stayed close.</div>"

She rubs her eyes and shook her head a bit, before moving closer to him, looking at him right in the eye. Must have been a illusion or something.
""Look M, water isen't effective against steel, and with how angry you got back there and that you almost killed someone... A little thing like that isen't a big deal compare to what could have happened with how angry you were."" she says straight in the eye, serious right now, her pendant on her neck right now. She shook her head calmly, letting out a slight sighed.
""And you need to cheer up a bit, take life less seriously all the time and with less anger. The more angry, the more stress you get. The more stress you have, the more angrier you get. And we are a team. Sure maybe it was not a good time to pull a prank there, but think of it slightly as a 'punishment' for almost killing someone. It could have been worst then that. Just try to see the good things instead of just the bad. Seeing only black will ruin your life."" she then says, turning around a bit, moving back next to Spruce, shaking her head as she looked to the other side of the room.
""Just try to understand that we do not want to go to jail, and neither do you. If we were the type of team to be serious all the time, you would have been kicked off the team probably today. Though we know your better then this. Just try to relax instead of going angry alright?"" she then says, turning around.

-------------------

Eralion was about to go search for that Flaaffy before suddenly the whole town was in riot. Seriously, seems like someone had the same idea as him as he hears the cries of the people yelling about the missing Flaaffy. As he moves forwards, he saw in the corner of his eye the keckleon who was running, the flaaffy with them. As one of the guys started to approach the house that the keckleon was hiding with the flaffy in, Eralion suddenly grabbed one of the guy as he was hiding, draggin the poor sandile with a big pull and karate chop it, giving a rather distinct sound as the thing gasp at the sudden surprise attack. It attempt to mud slap Eralion, before missing and then getting hit again, knocking it unconscious. He then drag the thing to a corner and then silently move towards the safehouse, hiding. This needed to be stealthy instead of all brute force like his mom would do. Deceive the opponent into thinking he is safe and then strike. This is what he needed to do. As he moved closer to the warehouse, he saw more and more pokemons attempting to move towards the place. As another one moved forwards,  a drilbur, he suddenly used bullet punch, striking the thing so hard that it was pushed a couple of feets. It then used rapid speed on him, striking him back abit. The noise was going to attract more pokemons. He quickly karate chop the thing, and lucky for him, it was enough to bring the thing down. Then some pokemons saw him. He started to running like heck, now a good group of them chasing him. He ran until he saw another pokemon that was moving towards the group. Eralion suddenly jumped, bullet punched the guy right in the face before continuing to run, turning corner after corner, before having lost the group. He then head towards the safehouse again, ready to help if those guys were to try to break into the safehouse right there.</div>"

I look at everyone, and at my badge. Red. I swore, and they bust down the wooden door. I freaked out, and used Transform, but oddly enough, I didn't just become a scrafty or a sandshrew. I became a legendary! Latios, to be exact. Three weak enemies drew near, and I looked at who I was fighting with. Bonnie was knocked out, and Flaafy couldn't stop crying.

Through his through watching of Bonnie, Tini had come to the conclusion that she was sick. Touching her forehead provided further data that showed that she in fact had a fever. Tini being who he was, had only one logical response ""I need to almost drown her!"" Wrapping the tip of his tail around one of her ears, Tini began to slowly drag the Bunneary out a small hole in the safe house that they were barely able to fit though. ""Where is it? Where is it? Aha!"" he cried out in triumph. ""The local well. No desert village is complete without one."" He then made his way past a horde of crazed Pokemon who seemed far to busy doing something else to bother with him. Once he got to the well though, he had a new problem; it was dry ""Noooooooooo!

Well, shock is better than anger.

""It's not the damn water, it's the fact I was forced onto the ground - and you should know why Ground-type attacks are so effective against Electric Pokemon such as myself."" I reminded them, still somewhat tense and flicking the last drops of water onto the wooden walls and floor. I took some time to fade out from the conversation, thinking about the last hour - properly. Sure enough, continuing that probably wouldn't well. And Kamina was supposedly right.

""Aye... I think I may have gone over the top there, then."" I confessed, sweating the anger out of myself as I allowed some reasonable explanation to get inside my head. ""Let's just not speak of it again. Agreed? I prefer getting on with our break... or mission... what were we doing again?"" I felt normal after being less tense. And feeling normal was glorious.</div>"

M, thankfully, seems to have calmed down, at least he did a little bit, and he asked us about the mission. I pull the mission statement from my bag, and show it to him. It was supposedly about helping a jolteon by the name of John find a wonder gummi that was rumored to be in a secret area in Sludgy Swamp... of course, John might not have all his marbles, but I knew that if there was anything that looked edible in a place called 'Sludgy Swamp', I wouldn't pick it up, let alone eat it. ""So, we're supposed to help this guy find this gummi... apparently, the poor fool's been obsessing over it for his entire life, and finally found out where he can find one. Dunno why he'd need us, though,"" I then explain to M before heading off. Kamina was uncharacteristically quiet, and was just standing there... odd. <span class=""bb-i"">Why is Kamina so quiet? By now he'd have made some speech about how we should help this guy even if he's a little crazy, or something like that.</span> I think as I continue towards the place, making sure to walk slowly enough so that the rest of my team doesn't lose me, and so they can easily catch up. Of course, while the back of the mission statement told me where to go... I was still horrible at directions, so, there was a good chance I was heading the wrong way. That being said, my team was still likely to know where to go, and would quickly point me in the right direction.

The second it took my father to attack me seemed to go on for an eternity. <span class=""bb-i"">Why? Why didn't my friends help me? I can't just stand up to him myself... can I?</span> I think as I start to work up some sort of courage, something that was alien to me not even four minutes ago. He's still just an ordinary pokemon, and just like me, he can be beaten... he has weaknesses... if I can just take this one attack, I can fight back. Earlier, I had closed my eyes so I wouldn't be able to see the supposedly inevitable attack, however, after working up that courage, I manage to open them again, and shout in my dream, anyways ""No! This isn't my fault! You're not going to kill me here! I will win this! I will... defeat you,"" my father, apparently stunned by my sudden burst of bravery, steps back, and out of nowhere, everything goes dark again. I feel wet, and, well, not dying from heat, thankfully. I notice that I'm in some sort of urn, and poke my head out to see a bunch of the villagers attacking some sort of house. I assumed that William was going to be there, and I pass by Tini saying ""Thanks!"" before I run off towards the building. It seemed like the enemies were crowding the entrance, however, near it, I saw a hole just large enough for me to fit through, so, I used that as a sort of secondary entrance. On the other side of the wall, I see a crying flaafy, a few sandshrew, and a latios. Said latios had a badge, one from Wally's guild, as well. Either way, I decided to utilize my newfound courage, and say ""Come on, there aren't even that many enemies, we can take 'em!"" It was weird, but after that, well, that and some sort of strange red aura that apparently surrounded me somehow filled my badge, which made it send a signal to anyone else who was on my team, I felt stronger, and heck, somehow even faster. I tried a frustration on one of the sandshrew, and managed to knock it out in one hit, causing his friend to look at me with a shocked expression.

""Well, either way, we lost him,"" I say to my team, somewhat annoyed that I couldn't follow the swablu any further than I did. I then hear Xeno say something about how he didn't understand any of this, and, I suppose, to a wild pokemon, all of this at once could be confusing, so, I decided to focus on the 'criminal' part, saying ""You see, Xeno, there are some pokemon out there that make their living by taking stuff from others... stuff such as money, food, or other trinkets. They also typically attack those who they are trying to steal from. I... well... I had no idea what I was doing, but, I kinda... used to do that, myself..."" I hesitate on that last part, but I guess it's better to have told him now than have him find out about it from Martin himself. Continuing through the fog, I eventually make out an outline of another pokemon. I try to attack, but the thing was too quick, and ran right at me, stealing some of the money from my bag, and then running off... what it didn't know was the fact that it was running off towards the rest of my team. ""Josh, Xeno, Matt! Try to catch that thief!"" I shout back to the rest of my team, who, if I was correct, were still a little bit behind me. I then fire off a bubble towards the thief in question, some sort of catlike pokemon, and I noticed a purple color, as well, but I couldn't quite tell what it was yet. That being said, the thing dodged my attack, and started laughing at me while still trying to run away.</div>"

A wonder gummy.... seriously, that jolteon sending people to that place for a gummy. Out of his mind, that what he is. He was actually shaming the eevee family slightly by putting so much priority on a piece of food. No mather... a job was a job. And if that guy even tries after the mission to flirt with her or something, well... it will end badly for him. She breath deeply as she relaxes, seeing that Kamina was rather quiet now. It was so strange at the moment. The normal ongoing full of energy magikarp seemed to have become more of a wise silent gyrados, which was simply astonishing. That or he was just tired and didn't really listen to what was going on, or he was thinking of other things at the moment. She breath deeply and then thing of something. She frowns.
""Wait... Sludgy swamp? Swamp... Oh boy... poison types... This... will not be really fun for me. I guess I will need to be really careful there... being.... fairy type and all."" she then says. She understood more what she was now at least.

------------------------

Eralion looked as more and more villagers rushed to the house, wanting to go and beat down the group of people that were refuged there. He looked carefully before seeing the guild badge on the bunnery that was running in the building. And seeing how confident they were... even with all those other pokemons going and attacking. He suddenly saw one of the sandshrew going going to attack the group with a rollout. He rushed and jumped in front, before using counter, taking the hit for the bunnery and then striking the sandshrew with a strike of his own. Just then a sandile though it would be a good idea to use bite on him. Eralion took the hit and then used karate chop on the sandile.
""Hope you guys are alright and ready to fight this. Saw you having trouble and wanted to help out."" he then says, before seeing one sandile actually jumping to attempt to bite him. He suddenly striked the sandile after dodging right at the neck, finishing it off with a critical strike.
""Dang theres lots of them..."" he says. He knew that if he showed courage here, he might not have to walk back all towards Allure town. Even that he might get accepted into this group maybe... Well it was a chance to take at the moment, and he sure hoped that it would be worth it. He already took some damage from that rollout and bite, but he could still keep attacking.</div>"

I wasn't smiling, but I did feel a spark inside of me. Even that weird image seemed to dissipate from my mind.

""Alright then. We have to go to some dangerous swamp to find a supposedly rare blob of gelatin (and God knows whether a <span class=""bb-s"">horse</span> <span class=""bb-s"">pony</span> <span class=""bb-s"">Rarity (she's a marshmallow by meme standards)</span> Rapidash or slime-based Pokemon was involved in the creation of it), to satisfy one 'mon's fetish? And his name is 'John' out of every pseudonym he could pick?"" I looked around for any reactions, but it was clear this matter was actually quite serious. ""Well, we've dealt with worse, and the name's just out of paranoia. We should be going after Desia and other Void Orbs, but we've got no leads for anything else.""

Meanwhile, Kamina was creepily quiet. I think walking out on him wasn't a good idea. I probably should've let him talk to me rather than storm out of the room. To be fair though, he did do that without my consent. Spruce was kinda waiting for us before deciding he would leave early, while Celes was noting her current weaknesses. Cruelly (and rather boringly), I just HAD to be immune to Poison. I mean, everything we've done so far just involved me being a wall to some Ice-type, or Normal-type, or... it was pretty unfair for my teammates.

""Celes, as long as you have me, you're probably better off worrying if Spruce is even gonna get there."" I did wait for the others to join us, but I had to leave quickly to make sure Spruce brought a map with himself, zooming over some various Pokemon apparently eager to join the Guild.</div>"

Even after having been woken up my his team, Kamina still felt...subdued. He wasn't taking his failure to get through to M very well, leaving him far more quite then he had any right to be...he didn't like feeling like that. However if people could control their emotions so easily, well then there would be a lot less problems in the world. Still, he found himself without his normal enthusiasm as they journeyed through the swamp, something that really bugged him. 'This is so frustrating! I should be hyped as hell...but my excitement engine is running on empty. I suppose this is my punishment for failing a friend' he thought to himself

Bonnie had just lept out of the urn and rushed back into the building where the others were, leaving a very confused Tini behind. Despite what others may think; Tini wasn't oblivious. He noticed what was going on around him...he just often didn't know what any of it meant. So when he saw Bonnie rushing to battle with an enthusiasm that he had never seen in her before, while he did notice the change...he had no idea what to make of it. 'I feel like I missed something very important...I hate it when that happens.' Spending a few seconds to mope over his lack of information, he soon got board of that and returned to where the others where. ""Can I fix the crazy people now?"" He asked</div>"

""Okay, okay, so, this gummi is apparently being guarded by, er... the guardian of this place! Yeah... so, let's go!"" He quickly explains to us as he runs off on his own, with me running just so I could catch up. ""WAIT! SLOW DOWN!"" I shout at John to try to keep him from running too far away from the group, and thankfully, he seems to listen. ""Sorry... it's just, well... I mean, I spent my entire life researching the location of this mythical gummi,"" he then explains to me as I look back just to make sure that I didn't lose my team. He then whispers to me ""Hey... what's with ugly over there?"" He points at Celes with his paw, and I try to forget that he said anything, not giving him an answer. A ditto and a grimer then appear, and the grimer uses sludge bomb on John almost instantly. I try to attack the ditto, but it decides to transform into me before I could do anything. It then uses void whip on me, though, I barely even felt it. I then think about what I should do, or what I could do to actually hurt, well, me, but unfortunately none of my moves, apparently, would do much. I then just use void whip on the grimer, who takes some damage, but is obviously still conscious.

He then adds ""Besides, what can you possibly even do to me, jelly?"" He laughs, and uses quick attack on me, however, I used counter just after that, and sent him back towards Matt. ""Look, you're not going to escape. There's too many of us, and only one of you. Just show us how to get there, and return my money, and I will let you go,"" he then tries to sucker punch me, but Daniel gets in the way and uses shadow rush on him, knocking him back again. ""Where did HE come from!?"" The catlike pokemon shouts back at me, his tone suggesting that he thinks I've cheated at some game. ""So... will you cooperate?"" I ask again. He tries to attack Josh with another quick attack, telling me that no, he wasn't going to cooperate, unfortunately. <span class=""bb-i"">Why won't he listen? Doesn't he know what Martin's doing?

I say with that same, almost alien enthusiasm that I had ever since waking up from that horrible nightmare. <span class=""bb-i"">Is it still a nightmare if it had this kind of effect on me?</span> I ask myself as I finish off a helioptile with frustration. A sandslash then used slash on me, dealing much less damage than I thought it would somehow. I then notice a pancham actually helping us... at least someone from the village was on our side. I walk up to him, and ask ""So... who are you, and why are you helping us?"" He seemed like he could be a potential new recruit, and it was always good to have more friends, right? I then use jump kick on an unsuspecting scraggy who was trying to use bite on the latios who I assumed was William after some sort of odd transformation. The scrafty, given that he didn't even see my attack coming took the attack right in the face, leaving the sandslash, a heliolisk, and a scrafty, all of which were more focused on William than they were on me for... obvious reasons. ""You know... I have a feeling that a fairy wind might just end this... Tini, mind ending this for us?"" I then ask Tini who seemed confused for some reason. I then see the heliolisk and the scrafty try to use crunch and facade respectively, however, I get in the way, remembering that he's a psychic type, and would take more damage from a crunch than I would. I manage to stop William from getting hit by the attacks, and notice that for some odd reason, the facade hurt much more than the crunch. What in the would could make crunch hurt that much less than facade?</div>"

She then continued until they arrived to fight with a ditto and grimer, with the ditto attempting to attack Spruce but not doing much and then hiding behind Spruce. She then got 2 chains out and aiming carefully, used it to strike the ditto right at his side by making the chain turn around from Spruce, wanting to strike the thing down before he would have the chance to possibly confuse people on who was who. Seriously, she didn't like ditto's... they copy all your looks and moves, and then can make a mock out of you. Lucky they didn't copy the memories, cause that would make things even harder to see who was who.

It was there I had noticed the scar on my face had stopped glowing, becoming a mere purple slash. I was slightly uneasy about this place, considering how it was a swamp and that almost anything in here could kill you. i.e, a Ditto disguised as a tree. It WAS plausible considering tree Pokemon exist in this world. The place smelled like mud and some weird non-Pokemon creatures kept buzzing around us. ""So, we're here. What do you want us to do? Find a doomsday device disguised as a yellow blob of horse bones?""<br/><br/>Sure enough, he wasn't kidding. He zoomed off even faster than Spruce usually did, apparently THAT determined to get that gummi. ""Why'd he even bother hiring us?"" Originally a thought, it kinda leaped out of my mouth. Thank Arceus he stopped on Spruce's command and came to his senses. I followed Spruce and Celes, jumping (or rather springing upwards) at the sight of a flame. It was just a will-'o-the-wisp, a natural phenomenon. I used to watch a few of those pop out of nowhere in a swamp near our community. I miss those days. More alarmingly as I returned to reality, I realised I had grown quite paranoid of my surroundings. God knows if I'll end up harming my teammates over some ridiculous tree looming in the wind.<br/><br/>John had apparently stopped to explain how empowered this supposed gummi was. If anything, that sounded like... 'magic.' I never really believed in magic - every attack that sprouted out a laser beam or caused an explosion was surely the result of some ridiculous, admittedly arbitrary science. Nevertheless, still science. Thousands of years of nuclear bombs couldn't change the laws of the universe, let alone Arceus' mighty powers. I swatted a few of those flying black dots, wondering how these pests still survived to this day.<br/><br/>I didn't really pay attention to anything else while narrating. I did glance over to John when he called someone ugly, supposedly me. Though, he was pointing at the figure behind me - Celes. Somehow, John wasn't affected by Celes' witchcraft. ""What are you, gay?"" I blurted out, my face a mix between a smile and contempt. <br/><br/>I was to laugh, but suddenly Celes - who was the one who warned me about being overly excessive in force (excluding Kamina) - had threatened our client, whipping his back as if it was appropriate. ""Oi! Stop harming our client! Keep yourself in check!"" With that, I span back to face a Ditto... or rather, Spruce. Well, one of them was a doppelganger. I was somewhat confused, though I didn't have time to pick between the two. I let Kamina and his odd war-cry take care of Spruce/Ditto, while rushed to protect our client. Sure enough, a Sludge Bomb (which no one else picked up on) was pelted towards John. I essentially killed two birds; first off, I shielded John from the attack, preventing an instant contract failure as my back faced the force of the bomb. Second, because I was steel, the attack was a joke. Bit like last time. And the time before that. In fact, pretty much every fight we've been has included at least one type I was resistant/immune to. Quickly I confronted the Grimer, holding out both of my magnets as I zapped two lightning bolts to it. Unusually, the attack was much brighter. And bigger. And damaged me!<br/><br/>""Oh, Arceusdammit- METHANE!"" I forgot we were in a swamp. I created an explosion which instantly forced the Grimer back into a swamp. John had cowered behind a large rock, and was unaware of such explosion. I coughed a few times, trying to focus on the fight.</div>"

Wait, who's this?"" I ask as I see a Pancham approach. Not a normal Pancham, either. He announces that he was named 'Eralion'. Quite an unusual name for an unusual pokemon.

Looking down from the rock that served as my impromptu vantage point, I carefully walk to it’s edge and sit down, pushing myself just far enough to let me slide down the side. I manage to mess up the landing bad enough to fall on my chest, and even then I can’t manage to recover by doing one of those cool rolls when I hit the ground. <br/>Hoping that no one saw that little fiasco, I get up and fix my scarf before I go into... umm... into town.

She felt a bit saddened for retaliating with these poor, cute Pokemon, but they were wild Pokemon, and she rather they not follow and annoy her. <br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">I heard that there were guilds here...maybe I can do a bit of team-dungeon exploring around here,</span> Levita thought to herself while adjusting the tiny satchel that was belted on her side, which required a bit of twisting, shaking, and some frustration. Carrying items were a pain for the balloon Pokemon, who barely weighed a kilogram or two. She had to strap some awkward strap on the bottom of her spherical body to prevent the satchel from falling. She almost wished she was like her younger (half) brother Cobust. He weighed at least ten times her weight after he evolved and could carry a standard adventuring knapsack without a sweat.<br/><br/>But she kept her mind out of Cobust. He was a much better adventurer than she was, and it messed up her feelings to think about his achievements. Floating through the loping hills not far from the rustic town, Levita immediately spotted a Ralts sitting against a rock and sketching. She quietly lowered herself until her <span class=""bb-b"">*ahem*</span> triangular arms barely grazed the grass, adjusting to an angle to see the Ralts' finished artwork, staring at the details and surprising accuracy of the buildings. <br/><br/>Then suddenly the Ralts scooted a few inches too behind and fell, and Levita widened her eyes and heightened herself up. She was about to burst out an ""Are you alright?"" and dash towards the Pokemon, but the Ralts had recovered from his or her fall before she could make a decision, and started to walk away. <br/><br/>And of course, Levita followed him/her. Immediately she felt like a stalker, but at the time the Drifloon figured that all Ghost-type Pokemon stalk others anyway, so it was fine. The hills sloped down, and the two of then entered into the town. The town seemed a lot more crowded and active than looking from the skyline, and Levita stared at the market stalls with curious eyes, switching focus from one to another, and nearly overwhelmed by the activity going around the balloon. <br/><br/>It was then that Levita's loss of focus had caused me to bump into the Ralts right in front of me, sending the both of us onto the ground, and certainly drawing attention to the two; they obviously didn't fit in with the town very well, and some chatter from the townsfolk already revealed that they knew the two Pokemon were newcomers. Levita hastily stood back up, which appeared as if she simply levitated away, and placed her hand...strand, on the Ralts. ""Hey, are you alright? I'm sorry there.""</div>"

Having partaken in ill-formed judgment and then accepting the poor advice from an elder, she found herself a bit lost in all the haze and mess. <br/><br/>Gingerly making her way from rock to rock to avoid plunging into the mud that seemed inescapable, the white-furred Eevee heard something that struck her as peculiar. Long, slender ears slanted themselves in the direction it came from to garner further information, only to hear the sounds of a hastened conflict. Such a conflict ended quickly with an explosion, and then a string of curses damning Arceus himself!<br/><br/>Blinking worriedly, she instinctively stepped in the direction to head towards the cacophony that had occurred, yet at the last moment she hesitated. Would it be safe? It sounded like it would be, only those who were remotely civilized spoke in such a way, well...as civilized as cursing the Gods themselves could be.<br/><br/>Swallowing hard and stomaching her own courage, she quickly found a somewhat stable dirt path and bound her way in direction towards the conflict that had arisen. The wind rushed past her, slanting her ears back flat against her head so that they wouldn't hamper her haste in the least. Quickly she came upon a scene where there was an injured Magnemite, and a Grimer that was sinking back into the mud completely unconscious among a few others standing around. Blinking for a moment as burnt methane still lingered on the air past her nostrils, Silver's nose wrinkled ever slightly.<br/><br/><font color=""#662d91""><span class=""bb-i"">Well...I guess now is a good a time as any to help...</span></font> She thought, glancing between the group.  <br/><br/>Quietly before even announcing the arrival of her presence, Silver closed her eyes and focused. Her will drawing to a singular point within her mind as stones raised into the air around her briefly; once her eyes opened however, her will rippled outward in a wave of magenta energy akin to a droplet upon a still pond. Silently, it washed over the Magnemite that had been injured, with obvious burn marks and damages to its surface, and in just a few moments the burns ceased to be. The scratches and cuts no longer existed.<br/><br/>By her actions, he had been returned to full health. <br/><br/>Meekly, the little Eevee finally spoke as the stones fell back to the earth. She had used a Psychic-type ability after all. <font color=""#662d91"">""S-Sorry if I startled you. I was just trying to help.""</font> <br/></div>"

Well, maybe not an assailant, I suppose, but I’m still rendered flustered and discombobulated as a result of falling not only twice in a row, but this time in plain view of the whole town. Some of my stuff had fallen out of my admittedly worn bag, and I scramble to pick the miscellaneous utensils up and stow them back away with both my hands and telekinetic power.<br/><br/>	“Sorry, my bad,” I stutter quickly as I get up off the ground and dust off my scarf, glancing back and forth between the Drifloon and the rest of the town as I feel the pressure of their words and emotions. “Really I should be watching where I’m going because I’m too used to everyone being all ‘oh it’s her’ and making sure they’re not in the way but I obviously can’t expect that of everyone and that’d just be plain rude-” I stop to take a deep breath, trying to calm down. It’s a really bad habit of mine to go full motormouth when I feel particularly embarrassed, which I’ve learned tends to just end up compounding the problem.<br/><br/>	“I… er, sorry about that, too,” I say at a much more normal speed as I smile sheepishly, running a hand through my hair and flipping it weakly as I look up at the Balloon Pokemon. “I’m fine, though, thank you for asking. Are you new here, too?” Realizing I'd forgotten one of the core rules of social etiquette, I hold out my hand and offer it to the Drifloon.<br/><br/>	""My name's Rebecca, by the way.""

I was going to attack the grimer again, but apparently M had that covered as he caused an explosion, one that I wasn't fast enough to escape from, which seemed to finish off the grimer. ""Well..."" I finally manage to say, coughing afterwards. I then continue with ""That was... different. When did you learn explosion, M?"" Of course, given M's relative lack of damage, I had a hard time believing that he actually used explosion... but... that was kind of the only way to do something like that, right? M said something about Celes apparently attacking our client, who was now hiding behind a nearby rock, but I didn't see her do that. I then walk over to where John was hiding, and the first thing he did was scream at me, followed by a question ""Is... is it safe out there?"" I nod, and he shouts ""You guys are CRAZY! What do you think would have happened if I didn't hide behind that rock, huh? HUH?"" I only say ""Well... um..."" and he continues with his spiel about how we shouldn't let enemies near our clients, and how we should keep him safe while still following behind me as I continued through the swamp, the smell killing me now more than the enemies were, (un)fortunately. This jolteon either lost his ability to smell, or was too excited to care, as he was, for some reason, after his lecture (which I only paid half-attention to), whistling, as if nothing was wrong here. Of course, there were a few enemies, more specifically, a gastly, a solosis, and a shuppet nearby, and I honestly hoped they couldn't hear him.<br/>---<br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>The purrloin's eyes darted between me and my teammates, as if looking for some way out, but, upon apparently not finding anything, he eventually says ""He said we'd be on the top, you know... the best in the thieving business, and I was, and still am ready to believe him. He says he's never lost a victim, or a fight, so I know that if I was gonna team up with any thief, it'd be him, with his spotless record and free gummis,"" obviously Martin was lying again, after all, I was there when he lost that fight against myself, and my new team. ""Spotless record, huh?"" I mumble after I hear that, and the purrloin, with his big ears nods, and says ""Yeah, spotless. You wouldn't know anything about that, right? I mean, you lost that fight against him, remember?"" I had to assume that Martin told this purrloin about that fight against me, but, obviously left out some key details... such as the name of who actually won that fight. I was about to say something, but the purrloin went on ""Man... Martin's my hero! He stood up to not one, but TWO rescue teams after his only teammate betrayed him. Yeah, that's right, Martin took on those punks ALONE! I just... any thief who can do that... it brings a tear to my eye,"" I didn't feel like saying anything, with this purrloin seemingly convinced that Martin beat me back in Beach Cave, let alone without help from the local wild populace. <span class=""bb-i"">Strange how he always seems to get help from pokemon that are native to wherever he is at the moment... I wonder why they leave.</span> I think as I remember that time when I was a member of his ever-changing gang. It was true even then, with me being the only member who stuck around for more than one 'mission' for whatever reason...<br/>---<br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>""Oh, welcome to the t-"" I start to say to this 'Eralion' character as I hand him a badge, with my sentence getting cut off mid-teleport. Thankfully, I managed to hand the badge to Eralion before William forced us all to teleport, so, he most likely ended up back at the guild with the rest of us. A helioptile was eagerly awaiting our arrival, and she gave us our reward of a hefty 4,000 pokedollars, which I split with the rest of my team, Eralion included. I then recall that horrible dream I had, and first try to say something, but only managing an ""Um..."" I then finally ask what I was going to, with ""Do you... think of me as a... um... friend? Would you actually help... erm... if my father suddenly appeared in front of us, and attacked me?"" I sounded somewhat timid, but a dream like that has a way of sticking around with you, especially if it brings up a good point or two. I have, at one point or another, either insulted, betrayed, or otherwise harmed everyone on my team, well, everyone but Eralion, but he's a little too new for that. I honestly didn't expect Eralion to come up with an answer to my question, given that I just met him about five minutes ago, but the rest... I just hoped they could forgive me for all the harm I've caused as a supposed 'teammate' of theirs. Heck, before me, the team just consisted of Samuel and William... and I'm sure they had a better team dynamic compared to all four, er, five of us. They certainly didn't need me on that mansion mission, let alone the one involving Sunswept Plains, and in the desert? I was passed out more than half of the time.</div>"

She shook herself a bit as she looks at the jolteon who had been hiding and had after the fight yelled at Spruce and the team from now protecting him. Sure... M did tell her to be careful with the client, but with how he insulted her... Well.... she didn't hurt him that much, maybe a couple of goose bumps from the attack, but that was all. She sighed as she was going to continue forwards, before her ears heard some noise from behind. As she turned around, she saw a eevee which had a rather pur white coat with brown paws near M who had just used explosion.... or something like that. As she looked at the eevee, she was a bit confused now.<br/>""Uhm... who are you? What are you doing here?"" she says before seeing Spruce going and moving forwards, not looking behind and probably not having heard the eevee. She turns to look at him.<br/>""Ugh... sorry.... we are kinda in a mission to protect a client right now... a over eccentric client. Feel free to fallow if you want safety."" she then says before going and fallowing Spruce quickly, seeing the ghost types around. She could feel them... feel them like they were very close to her... So many ghost type in this swamp. It was slightly overwhelming, but she knew she had to stand on guard. Suddenly a shuppet went and tried to use night shade on her, only to have her dodge the attack quickly, having sensed the ghost. She then striked it with draining kiss, actualy hitting the thing hard. It then shook at the attack, and used night shade again, hitting Celes, only for her to take the hit. She finish it off with hidden power. She breath deeply.<br/>""Ghost types... so... many.... ghost types."" she says.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Eralion was about to say something when Bonnie said something about welcoming to the team when they were all teleported, him inclused, into the guild. He stood there surprised, before looking all around, surprised. He never saw anything like this before. The roof, the building, the different pokemons all around. He was use to being in the forest, in a cave when it rain, but not something like this. This was different to say the least. His parents were more attuned to the forest, so they wanted him to be too, but he wanted something different. So from a dessert village to the guild like this. He looked at the badge and smiles a bit before that bunnery came and gave him a bit of money for a supposely job that they were doing. He smiles a bit.<br/>""Thanks..."" he says before that bunnery went and asked her group about something he didn't quite understand. Her father attacking her and such. He waited a bit, thinking and breath deeply.<br/>""A father attacking her own daughter... what kind of sick person would do such a thing. Look, I might just met you guys, but friend or no friend, a father attacking her own daughter is just plain wrong."" he says calmly. He breath deeply, waiting for the others response. After that he opens his mouth.<br/>""Might need to introduce myself. Name is Eralion Strongwill. It would be nice to know you guys name also."" he then says.</div>"

It seemed like Martin recruited all of these wild Pokemon the same way he recruited Anthony - by lying through his teeth. He doubted that any of them would believe him if he told them the truth, but it was worth a shot.<br/>""That's not how it happened."" Josh said. ""We actually won the fight against him, believe it or not. He's been lying to you this entire time.""<br/>It would probably take a lot more convincing than that. If the Purrloin saw them defeat Martin, then he might be convinced, but that wasn't happening unless they could talk him into bringing them to him.<br/>""Think about it this way."" Matt said.

It kind of reminds me of a storm drain, actually, which raises a few questions about the working conditions of the guild...<br/>	“Hi,” I say with a little wave. “Ralts here, can I go in now?”<br/>	“Just step on the grate first…” one of the voices below responds, somewhat impatiently at that.<br/>	“O-Okay,” I say. “Do I have to? That’s made out of, umm, bamboo I think, so it couldn’t hold too much weight, maybe-”<br/>	“You don’t get much lighter than a Ralts without being a… a Drifloon or something,” the other voice asserts. “Just do it and get it over with, please.” I step onto the grate and they almost immediately confirm that I am indeed a Ralts, letting me pass to the main building.<br/> <br/>	“That wasn’t too bad, actually,” I admit to Levita once we’re inside. ""Still, though, what if, say, a Metagross wanted to come into the guild? I'd think they'd be pretty screwed, to say the least, and it had to have happened at least once before. It must be really bad for your neck, too, looking up all the time like that.  Back home, we just put some guards outside the front door and that worked just fine..."" I stop myself. Leon probably would've just written them off as fools and went on to do what he needed to, which seems to be a partially better way of handling the situation.</div>"

That was something she hadn't thought of for a while, though her best guess was that they didn't allow anyone too heavy to enter the guild. That still left Pokemon who could potentially evolve into a heavier Pokemon...huh. She had, like many others, expected some sort of test to see if they were ""worthy"" or not, but surprisingly the process had flown rather easily. Already they had passed through what seemed to be the checkpoint and entered the guild, just like that.<br/><br/>Deflating down into the main hall — she couldn't really climb or walk down — Levita finally burst into laughter with that small mouth of hers upon being reminded of the image of a Metagross crashing into the building. ""I...I don't think you should suspect too much of them if they've been running this guild for years,"" she managed to respond with what little air she had before taking a deep breath and re-inflating herself again. ""And by the looks of it, the guild likely isn't getting a recruit every single day, so they're not looking on top of the grate every single hour. Hearing them walk or fly through would be loud enough for them to hear at the bottom.""<br/><br/>——————————<br/><span class=""bb-b"">???</span><br/><br/>A figure peeked out from the shadow, hidden behind a tree as...<span class=""bb-i"">it</span> intently observed the Ralts and Drifloon enter the guild. <span class=""bb-i"">Rebecca and Levita,</span> the figure thought. <span class=""bb-i"">I will need need to measure their strength some time later. Yes...but not now.</span><br/>----------<br/><br/>""HOO-HAH! CHARGE!""<br/><br/>""Gah!"" Only half a minute in, and Levita was already being attacked by a crazy Audino. After that, the Drifloon was acting completely by reflex, and immediately used her Tailwind to levitate away...though, now that she thought of it, she was a Ghost-type, and the attack would have done nothing to her. But it didn't matter afterward, since the Audino missed by several meters and smacked against the wall instead. Surprisingly, the Audino recovered with minimal damage. His face was partially painted blue, and was holding a frail stick which promptly broke in half.<br/><br/>""Guildmaster Arnold! You're scaring members again!"" An Archen scolded. <span class=""bb-i"">Wait...this crazy Audino's our</span> guildmaster!?<br/><br/>""No! With the power of Arceus invested in me, we shall wipe out what remaining evil lurks around us!"" Arnold retorted, throwing a tree branch that landed right on the Arhcen's chest.<br/><br/>Yet, the Archen kept his temper and turned to Levita and Rebecca. ""I'm sorry about our Guildmaster here. I am Archie, and our Guildmaster here is called Arnold,"" Archie introduced, suddenly realizing the two were not members, but in fact ""applicants"". ""You two look new.""<br/><br/>Levita nodded and rubbed the cloud puff on her head again. ""Oh...yes. My name is Levita. It's very nice to meet you, Archie and...Guildmaster Arnold,"" she replied, feeling a bit awkward that the Guildmaster had attempted to charge them. At least she didn't try to hurt him back.<br/><br/></div>"

I'm the 'leader' of this team, and it'll be a pleasure working with you,"" I say, holding out a hand to shake. ""Although, Samuel's in charge if I'm... gone, so to speak, and if he's away, then Bonnie gets to lead and so on and so forth.

I responded, trying to point out how this place couldn't exactly tolerate electricity, let alone fire. I couldn't tell which patches of the swamp were full of gas, and honestly, I wasn't going to find out. Our client was safe alright, but he seemed rather inclined to start ranting about our abilities. He did have a right considering he hired us, but regardless it was still quite ungrateful. ""Hire somemon else then. You can wait, we'll just leave."" I warned in a casual tone, hovering still and facing our client before continuing with our supposed quest.<br/><br/>This place was full of noises and buzzing. Flies often got zapped near me (and thankfully didn't ignite gas) while our client continued talking to us/himself. Something about the odd ability to be able to clear an entire area of enemies before actually traveling. <span class=""bb-i"">Whatever the hell that was.</span> My thought was interrupted by Celes, and her new companion. ""Eh?"" I raised my eyelid while stopping again and swatting a few flies away from me. ""Please don't tell me this is your second adopted son. You're not gonna pay attention to both of them in this rolepl-""<br/><br/>And then, silence. Dead silence. Danger. ""Fuckin' ghosts!"" They weren't all ghosts, but they were still mighty dangerous. I didn't want to know how a Solosis got along with the two. ""John, you may want to get down for this!"" I didn't even try to fight them. Another explosion would probably kill us, and I was quite exhausted from the last one.</div>"

The solosis decided to put up a reflect, as if taunting us with the fact that physical hits won't do as much, now. Weighing my options, I end up using leaf tornado on the solosis, given that reflect would make void whip pretty much useless, at this point. Apparently, while I wasn't looking, Celes finished off the shuppet, and John hid behind another rock... being as useless as he usually was. I look over to where John was hiding, and he shouts back ""D...don't mind me! Just, um, fight those things, yeah! Get rid of 'em for me! You're doing great!"" Annoyed, I turn back to face my enemies, and just in time, as the gastly tried to use lick on me again, though, thankfully, I was able to dodge it, this time, however, the solosis decided to mess with us even more by putting up a light screen, officially making every possible attack we could use almost useless. <span class=""bb-i"">If only I had leech seed at this point, I'd just use that, and wait as I drain their health, reflect or no reflect.</span> I thought as I recalled Vine using that move against an enemy with pretty much the exact same strategy as these punks... but... you know... they were stronger.<br/>---<br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>At first our """"""""friend"""""""" disagreed with Josh's idea, saying ""Ha! You're just trying to trick me!"" But, after having some time to think, he changed his opinion, saying ""Hm... you know what? You're right! It's your funeral, anyways, so, what am I worried about?"" He then starts heading towards Josh's left, and, of course, as he does so, I manage to take my money back from him. He noticed, sure, I'm not the fastest thing here, but he didn't seem to care, probably thinking that he'd get it back off of my corpse after Martin finishes me off. I start following the purrloin, who was moving slowly enough so that I wouldn't lose him, which was weird, I honestly expected him to go back on his word, given that he's a criminal, and all. Of course, he eventually led all of us through the fog, and into an area where a single mudkip, and a scared-looking carbink stood. The mudkip, who was obviously Martin, stepped forwards, and started shouting at the purrloin ""What the HECK do you think you're doing bringing an ENTIRE RESCUE TEAM into MY HIDEOUT!? Have you lost your mind, Troy!?"" The purrloin, whose name was apparently Troy, responded with ""Well... boss... you said you beat 'em, and not only that, you beat these guys so badly that they cried all the way back to their mothers. I figured you could do it again, right?"" Martin, in an oddly calm voice, says ""Troy... can't you tell when I'm exaggeratin'? Anyways, I guess I gotta beat these kiddies down again,"" he then takes out that conch shell from beach cave, and blows on it, which somehow caused a trumpeting sound, which summoned several pokemon to this exact area. The carbink and Troy, of course, were playing it smart and fled somewhere at this point. I headed straight for Martin, using absorb, just like last time, and just like last time, it seemed to leave a mark. Martin retaliated with a water pulse, but that didn't seem to actually do that much to me, other than make me chuckle.<br/>---<br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Everyone, even the new guy, seems to answer my question with something along the lines of 'of course we'll help you!' which honestly brought a smile to my face. Then William ends up asking why I thought they might not, and I answer with ""Well... I kinda put your life in danger with my stupid fear of cats, remember, William? And Tini... I constantly use one of the 'three unforgivable attacks' or whatever, and don't plan to stop using it, so... I mean, there's that,"" I then sort of waited for their response, all while looking at the outlaw board, only to see it flip around to some apparently hidden room, and flip back with new missions, and some old missions missing. I checked the updated version of the outlaw board for anything interesting, but nothing seemed to catch my interest. None of the criminals looked like they might have some sort of link to my father, and none of the criminals were based around Sunswept Plains, or the mansion near it... both of which acted as my home for a short time. <span class=""bb-i"">I hope what I've done doesn't change their opinion of me... or change the apparent fact that they'd help against my father, putting their lives on the line to save me, should the time come. I might need that in the future.</span> I think while I pretend to be interested in one of the outlaws, a scyther doing something stupid around Mt. Pinnacle involving desecration of ancient ruins, and destruction of similarly ancient mechanisms... as well as bullying any pokemon who tries to stand up against him. of course, him being a bug type, he'd have an advantage against the resident basic-evolution fighting-types that populated the area, so, it must have been pretty easy for him.</div>"

She looked at the group. This will be hard to beat... they just set up a good defense there, both in physical and special attacks. How would she be able to go and damage those guys now. She looked at the group, before targetting the solosis, using swift on it, hoping to do some damage to it at least. If they were to bring down that guy, then the defense would soon be null and then they could finish that group off. The problem here though was to actually beat the thing down with how much defense was up right now. John, their client, was being useless, hiding behind a rock right now, scared. Seriously, that would explain why he needed people, but it would not explain why he was acting as a jerk like that. No wonder that job was not taken before. When M commented about that other eevee, she shook her head. The last thing she wanted was to get someone else in her familly in so little time.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>Eralion listened to what everyone was saying, smiling slightly as he looked at the group.<br/>""Well, it is nice to meet you all... oh and cursed by a ninetales? Ouch... My mother always warned me about those. You are lucky not to have ended up dead or as a ghost from that."" he says, before turning to Tini, who was a very energetic dratini. Pink also, as well as it seemed to feel... different. Not shiny, but just different. As he said something about warm hugs and cookies, he stares at him a bit.<br/>""I... guess I do... even though never had too many cookies before... I come from rather far away, after a large mountain in a forest. I wanted to join the guild after seeing some adventures come by, liking the idea of helping out others."" he then says. He then turns to Bonnie, who still seemed down about her father and such and what she said. He breath deeply.<br/>""First off, fear is what can make you stronger when you conquer it. It is hard but rewarding by one of those senses of great accomplishment when you are able to get pass it... So tell yourself that even if you are scared, it's by overcoming it that you become stronger as a person."" he then says, listening and then looking at the mission board, looking at all the jobs.

He'd begun to feel a bit more confident about what he was doing now, and after being taken to where they were lead he stood a bit taller than normal to try and look sure of himself to who he understood was the enemy. <br/><br/>His visage shattered though at the sound of the conch horn, and he crouched down defensively as his head swiveled around in both caution and panic. Several pokemon had seemingly come from nowhere, and after a quick glance towards Anthony, Xeno took it as a cue for his next course of action. From the panic still left in him the sableye let out it's best war cry, born of equal parts panic and confusion as he charged towards the nearest foe he could find. A fair number of the pokemon it seemed were capable of flight though, and all Xeno could think to do was start chasing one of the swablu that had appeared. Sableye could jump high, sure, but that didn't change how easy it was for the swablu to avoid his attacks. </div>"

No one really laughed all that much back home, so it feels strangely refreshing…<br/><br/>	“Charge?!” I repeat, teleporting a few feet away almost on instinct. “Not again!” Once I stop hyperventilating and my heart slows back down, it becomes quite clear that what seemed to be another war breaking out is actually just the guildmaster, and I teleport back next to Levita, feeling a bit sheepish about my own outburst. I’m not sure how the Audino manages to run an entire guild with such a strange demeanor, or why he’s painted up like he’s from that one movie that was apparently really inaccurate in a bunch of ways that I can't remember, but I guess it’s kind of cool that he manages to pull all that off either way. Maybe he’s like some sort of puppet ruler? Or maybe he’s just trying to get people to let their guard down when they challenge him to a real fight… <br/><br/>	“Oh!

No way the registration process was that easy. There had to be a catch, some sort of dungeon quest or battle they had to do. But no, she could not detect a challenge within their words. They were just...in.<br/><br/>And now she was being given the decision as well. Levita turned to Rebecca and remained silent for a moment to think. ""Team...Crescendo,"" she finally answered, blinking as the name surprisingly fit. ""Yeah...Team Crescendo.""<br/><br/>Levita noticed the confused look from Archie, and took a deep breath. ""Alright, we aren't a soprano group, but the name reflects the team we're going to build, from fresh beginnings to one of the first-rates,"" she explained to Rebecca, raising her arm-strand, and she then felt some confidence return to her. She was reminded of Cobust, reminded of the time where they fought which each other, reminded of the time he trained all night long, reminded of the time he left home. If he was here...he would have said the same words, full of energy and ambition. ""Just you wait. We'll get there.""<br/><br/>""Well, good luck. There will be challenges, and you two better be ready to face them,"" Archie replied; his words were genuine, but at the same time, tired. He had heard many Pókemon say the same thing over and over again. There was already those three strange exploration teams and the guildmaster to deal with. With a chuckle, he muttered, ""First the Magnemite and his team, then the Goomy, and now this...heh. Wow. These young Pókemon never ceases to surprise me.""<br/><br/>Archie smiled and beckoned the two with his talons. ""Well...if you're content with the team name, I should be giving you two your team badges and starting supplies. Unfortunately, you may not be able to take up any contracts on the first day, not when it's so late today. I think it will be best if you just explore the guild and the town by yourselves and open up a room for you two to sleep in,"" he added before giving the two a satchel, filled with a stack of team badges - more than two, obviously, for recruitment - along with a guide book and a map. ""If you have any questions, please find me in the guildmaster's office."" And with that, the Archie walked away from the two. </div>"

Matt instinctively put up Reflect and Light Screen as soon as the battle started. Anthony went straight for Martin, and it didn't seem like he needed any help at the moment. Xeno, on the other hand, was attempting to attack a Swablu, but it was flying too high for him to reach it. Josh aimed a Water Gun at it, which caused it to lose a little bit of altitude, but it was still in the air.<br/>""Go after the walking enemies, Xeno."" He said. ""I can handle the flying ones.""<br/>There were a lot of Pokemon soaring above them right now. There were two Swablu and a Starly at the moment, and that was just the ones that he could see. There were probably plenty that were hidden by the fog, as well.<br/><br/> The Swablu that Xeno was trying to attack went for Josh, now that it saw him as a threat. It used Round, and did a good amount of damage to him before it was blasted out of the sky by another Water Gun.<br/>""I'll never get all of them at this rate."" Josh said, just as a Hoppip flew down from above. to replace the Swablu Josh just knocked out.<br/>""Perhaps this will help."" Matt said, pulling something out of Josh's bag. It was the Thunderbolt TM that he bought back when they were in Scale City. He completely forgot about it after Zane showed up in front of the hotel, and it's been collecting dust in his bag ever since.<br/><br/> Without hesitation, Josh took the TM, pressing it against his forehead. The bright yellow disc emitted a soft glow for a moment, then faded to a dark grey colour. Josh threw the now-useless TM to the side. The Swablu that Josh knocked to the ground earlier flew back up into the air. It flew towards Josh, but it was interrupted by a bolt of electricity. That was more than enough to finish it off.

For a moment the sableye's eye's failed to find a nearby pokemon that wasn't flying, though one quickly found him as he received a Fake Out in the back of his head. <br/><br/>It didn't hurt though, and Xeno only stumbled forward before looking behind him to see a Tyrogue looking somewhat confused and displeased. ""Was- was that meant to hurt?"" Xeno asked, touching the back of his head where the move had contacted. ""It was,"" the Tyrogue began, a glint appearing behind it's eye as it used foresight, ""and now it should."" With force the Tyrogue tried Fake Out again, it's open palm hitting Xeno square in the chest which caused him to stumble back and flinch. While he was vulnerable the Tyrogue followed up with a tackle, knocking Xeno to the ground and eliciting a short fit of laughter.<br/><br/>Unhappily, Xeno pulled himself up and began readying for his aggressor, focusing his mental energy into a Zen Headbutt. His skull felt heavy, giving the impression that he'd been knocked dizzy as he stood up. Obviously feeling cocky now the Tyrogue rushed forward to use tackle again, but before it could properly connect Xeno swung his head forward to connect his own attack. The strike had been unexpected by the Tyrogue, meaning it was all the more devastating  as it's legs buckled and it flew back a short distance.

This team naming added another issue: who was going to be the leader? They probably didn't need one now, but sooner or later they were going to get more members, and they had to be ready for it. <br/><br/>Levita nodded at Reb's second remark. Now that she realized it, they <span class=""bb-i"">were</span> dirt poor. Apparently when they arrived here, the town Pókemon were trading with some gold-standard currency they called Póke, and now that she thought of it, a few of the wild Pókemon in the dungeon were holding a small pile of those coins. <span class=""bb-i"">Darn...I should have picked these up when I had the chance.</span> ""The rooms shouldn't be too far from here,"" she noted, and went close to Reb's satchel to take out one of their team badges. It was the standard guild badge with cartoonish Audino ears coming out from the side, but other than that, the center looked plain. Maybe she could get Reb to draw their team insignia on it.<br/><br/>The two went off to find the rooms, which were conveniently located down a long hallway next to the message boards. A few of the room doors were decorated with signs or posters; Levita assumed they were for recruiting lone members. It was a bit hard to find a room, since the guildmaster and his second-in-command didn't exactly assign them one, and most of the rooms were taken anyway. Levita ended up having to test some of the doors to check if they were locked, and finally, nearly twenty rooms down, they found an unlocked room.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Whew...at least I don't have to share with some str-</span> ""Hey, you two! Get away from my place!"" a Pókemon suddenly shouted; Levita looked up and immediately saw a  purple-eyed ice cream figure. He had something in his mouth, and at first Levita thought the Vanillite was chewing on something, until after close inspection, she noticed it was just a small teaspoon. Ice-types... ""Get away from my door! Scram!""</div>"

Would I really have to walk this far every time we got up in the morning? Could they really not make another hallway that sort of branches off partway from this one? Well, I guess I could teleport, but still; not a good way to start the day. My complaint are more or less confirmed when an open room sits a whopping twenty doors down from the guild’s main hall. Much more suspiciously, however, it seems to have already been taken by a <span class=""bb-b"">very grumpy Vanillite</span>.<br/><br/>	“Levita,” I ask accusingly, “were you invoking Finagle’s Law? Because this seems like an awfully Finaglish scenario if you ask me…” I shrug as I let it drop, deciding that there wasn’t really any point in disputing it now that it’s already gone into effect. I look the <span class=""bb-b"">very grumpy Vanillite</span> up and down, wondering why a Pokemon that looks like ice cream wouldn’t be more cheerful, or at least more polite and understanding. Of course, no one <span class=""bb-i"">has</span> to behave exactly in accordance to how they act, but it’d still be really nice in this case. Either way, respect and kindness are their own rewards.<br/><br/>	“Wait a second,” I ask after a few moments, the <span class=""bb-b"">very grumpy Vanillite</span>’s words reminding me of something else. “‘Scram?’ Your name wouldn’t happen to be Oscar, would it…? Also, wouldn’t it technically be the guild’s room? I mean, I guess you got here first, but…” I decide to stick to playing the Giratina’s advocate for now; I’d much rather have a room without a <span class=""bb-b"">very grumpy Vanillite</span> if I had any say in the matter, as it would probably be detrimental to my inner glow. It’d be like running into Leon right after he wakes up in the morning; <span class=""bb-b"">very grumpy</span> and no fun at all.</div>"

If it weren't for the fact that she just entered the guild...ooh, Arceus, she was going to teach him a lesson. The Vanillite stared back at Rebecca blankly, almost as if a Pokémon had done something crazy right in front of him. ""Hmph. What kind of wimpy name is 'Oscar'?"" he shot back, and he swung open the door.<br/><br/>The Drifloon was able to get a look of the inside of the Vanillite's room; right in front of the door was a bed, a single fridge-like bed next to a table with a single chair. The room hardly had any decorations, and Levita felt a cold draft blow against them. A satchel with a guild badge pinned on it, presumably the Vanillite's, hung on the pegs of the bed. ""Now. Who's place does this look like?"" he questioned them flatly. ""Obviously you two aren't blind and deaf, so you two losers will have to stay away from my chill zone. Guess you and balloon-head have to share with someone else. Speaking of the balloon-head...I didn't know you learned Explosion.""<br/><br/>As the Vanillite slammed the door, Levita stormed her way back.

Of course, I was the only one actually doing escort duty. The rest of us were fighting off Pokemon and ensuring we wouldn't die out here. Funnily enough, most travelers typically get rescued despite astronomically low odds of Pokemon finding them. Then again, there are instances where Pokemon are known to disappear, go missing and even die at times. This battle certainly reminded us of that danger.<br/><br/>Alright, enough of that. It's just me getting bored while hunkering down with John. I know there's a lot of danger out there, but hiding away from danger just points out you've got nothing else to do. ""Well, now I know why you called us."" Chances were, if I did another electrical attack, it would probably burn down the swamp. John called us for that matter, though he didn't count on us having an electric Pokemon. Well, he got what he got, muttering to himself and trying to avoid talking to me. I peeked over the rock we were hiding behind, noticing we were going up against a damn wall at this point. Everything else was down, but the Solosis was going to screw us over. Of course, this was reality, not some video game. I assumed there was still some odd weak spot we could exploit, but the simultaneous shimmering and gleam of the shields made it hard for me to see.</div>"

It’s kind of weird that someone would have a “chill zone” and behave in a way that could never possibly be construed as “chill.” I take a deep breath; now Levita seems to be <span class=""bb-b"">very grumpy</span> as well. I don’t know how a Pokemon with no legs could storm down the hallways, but Levita somehow manages to pull it off. She could probably stare down a Bastiodon. Maybe even Rayquaza, too, if she had to.<br/><br/>	“It’s not a really big deal,” I say to Levita in an attempt to calm her down. “Some people are just really grumpy like that. Besides, it’s like you said; we’ll be in the big leagues some day, but it’ll be because we’re oozing in competency, confidence, and compassion. Scrooge with Extra Sprinkles over there is never going to make it that far, because he’s too abrasive for anyone to consider working with him. Which is also why we shouldn’t look like we’re going to kill someone when we try to find a roommate.” I give the Drifloon a nervous smile as I follow her through the hall, running a hand through my hair.<br/></div>"

I got my stuff ready and climbed the ladder, looking at the sun. 'I might need some stuff... maybe a few oran berries, possibly a warp orb...' I thought, looking down at Allure Town. I went in that direction and came to Bob and Ed's, going towards them and ordering two oran berries and a warp orb.

I could almost swear that the thing was sticking its tongue out at me. Earlier, M scolded John to keep his head down, and John was going to say something, probably something to scold M, but decided against it. The gastly seemed hurt pretty badly from Kamina's flame charge, and decided to use lick on him, instead of me this time, leaving me to think for a moment. Unfortunately, while I was thinking, the solosis used recover, healing whatever damage it took from Celes' swift attack. I then recall what I said about leech seed, and just how helpful it would be in this situation, and I try to remember how Vine used it on my adventures with him. The memory was vague, but, I somehow eventually managed to pull it off, apparently surprising the solosis as the attack, which was known to miss when you really needed it to hit, actually hit, and planted its seeds on the thing, which quickly came into effect, draining the solosis' health, and actually healing me somewhat. John then shouted ""Do you guys usually have this much trouble with this area? I mean, are you sure you're qualified for this job!?"" I decided against attacking John, despite the fact that, at least to me, he had a very punchable face right now.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>William, despite the fact that we JUST completed a very exhausting mission, where nothing sounded better than bed right now, decided to run off to this other mission.

I finally catch up to him, and shout ""We JUST got back from a mission, one in a DESERT where I almost DIED! Don't you think it'd be nice if we had some sort of, I dunno, BREAK in between the missions!? We'll do this one tomorrow, but I really can't go on another mission right now,"" I then head back to Treasure Town, grumbling to myself and working under the impression that William was actually going to follow me. If he didn't, then it's his funeral... I couldn't even go back to save him if I wanted to thanks to the condition that last mission left me in. <span class=""bb-i"">Yeesh... he really needs to curb his enthusiasm... though, I think this is the first time he's ever been this excited to go on a mission, as in, ever.

I think they're serving it right now,"" when I pass by my teammates. I then sit down in my usual spot, though, it seemed a little empty now that William was either slow, or off on a mission by himself, of course, that didn't change my appetite, and I ate pretty much whatever happened to be the closest to me at the time...

Martin, however, still had enough time to sneak in an oran berry every now and then just to make sure he doesn't faint... which left us in the same stalemate as we were in back at Beach Cave. It seemed like so long ago, and this was bringing back all those old memories. ""Hey, Anthony,"" Martin says to me as he uses tackle, not hurting me quite as much as he used to, with him continuing, flinching as I use absorb on him ""W-where'd you get that stupid-looking helmet from?"" I simply glare at him. He didn't need to know that information, and my new helmet looked awesome, not stupid... right? All I did say was ""Even if it looks stupid to you, it just so happens to make me resist dragon-type moves,"" Martin laughs at that thought, and continues with another tackle, with me using absorb to reheal the damage I took from his attack. He then uses yet another oran berry on himself, healing the damage HE took from my absorbs... basically resetting everything, again. ""Anthony, you should give up. You're outmatched! Can't you see I'm doing so much better than you? I mean, look, I could literally do this all day, and probably will until you start using struggle, and killing yourself for me!"" I mumbled something, not wanting to give up, and he continues with ""Y'know, you can rejoin my team. You're always welcome, and I can forgive your, ahem, horrible attempt at back-stabbing me... best friends, remember, Anthony?"" I look to the side, and mumble again, and he asks ""What was that?"" I then finally answer with ""I'll never join you! You lied to me! You're no friend of mine, you're just another criminal!"" Apparently shocked, Martin, that is, after another round of tackles and absorbs happens says ""How could you say that to me? Aren't you my best friend? Haven't we been friends long enough to overcome this petty difference?"" I used this 'speech' as an advantage as I snuck in another absorb, which caused him to use another oran berry... as if he had some sort of 'auto berry' ability, or something...</div>"

When Reb finally calmed her, however, she deflated back to her previous state and sighed. ""I guess you are right, Rebecca. I'm sorry for how I acted,"" she muttered, rubbing on her cloud-puff. ""Just...how would the guildmaster accept an unrefined Pokémon like Mr. Freeze-Cone? He doesn't belong here, not with that attitude.""<br/><br/>But before Levita could finish her ranting, a door opened nearby her, and a big, orange head peeked out of the opening. ""I...um...heard you want a room,"" the Scraggy interrupted, and Levita immediately leered at the shedding Pokemon before hesitating and dropping her angered demeanor. Unfortunately, the Scraggy had noticed her sudden change in emotion and went silent for a moment. ""I have room for the two of you.""<br/><br/>The Drifloon went silent as well, before smiling and nodding. ""Oh? T-thanks then, fellow guild member!""

""My...my name is Scraps. I've been in this guild for....three weeks now,"" he introduced. ""Your team's kinda awesome. I can let you...sleep here for a few nights until you two get your own rooms.""<br/><br/>""Nice! You're pretty awesome too, Scraps,"" Levita responded, deciding it would be better to return a compliment as well. After all, he did give them a place to sleep. The Drifloon pulled on her satchel and floated her way in, but then a sudden rumble quickly startled her. ""What was that?""<br/><br/>""AERIAL ACE!"" Another Pokémon shouted, his voice muffled from the wall next to them. ""Alright, good job, Kinder! But you won't be able to beat my KNOCK OFF!"" Shortly after, there was another loud slam against the floor. <br/><br/>""Oh, that's Team Frontline. They usually train with each other at this time,"" Scraps explained. ""Team Frontline is a recently registered exploration team. They're currently two weeks old, but they certainly have an endless amount of energy. Yeah, their training gets noisy at times, but at least they've agreed with the nearby neighbors to keep it down at sleep-time.""<br/><br/>Another ""AERIAL ACE!"" was shouted past the wall, followed by another rumble. ""Wow. Looks like the team is really going all out,"" Levita commented with a chuckle. The guild was starting to get stranger and stranger...<br/><br/>""Anyway, it's going to be dinnertime in a few minutes,"" Scraps reminded, sitting on one of the straw-piled beds while tapping against his pants-like skin idly. ""You two should put down some of your stuff here, and we can go to the dining hall to get something to eat.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Wait, it's that late already?

If only she could hit him... but Kamina probably had it covered. She turned and looked at the solosis, before going to use swift on him. Though with all the feelings she had here, she seemed to be unable to use it... It was strange... as if she was... forgetting how to use it now. She concentrated and then attacked... only for it to be used as a Ominous Wind attack, right towards the Solosis. Another move Celes was not even suppose to be able to use.

He then give him a hug.<br/>""So don't worry about me..."" he says, letting Tini down before then opening his bag and getting.... what seemed to be a bamboo stick, that Eralion opened up. A sweet aroma could be smelled from inside. Eralion took a small sip, smiling, and closing the container.<br/>""Good old sweet berry water from back home... Lucky my mom showed me how to make it."" he says, smiling at Tini. Sure, he did like cookies, but he liked his mother's personal sweet water recipe as much as cookies.

It used Fury Attack on him, which luckily only hit twice. Josh used Thunderbolt yet again, this time knocking it out and sending it to the ground.<br/><br/> The Hoppip whispered something to the Starly, who did a slight nod in response. They both attacked at the same time, with the Hoppip going for Matt, and the Starly going for Josh. Thankfully, the Starly wasn't anywhere near as resilient as the Swablu. One Thunderbolt was enough to knock it out, leaving only the Hoppip, who used Sleep Powder on Matt. <br/><br/> He slowly floated down to the ground as he drifted off to sleep, dropping Josh's bucket in the process. A bunch of the water spilled out as it hit the ground, but surprisingly it was still upright when it landed. Josh had no idea if Hoppip was weak to Electric moves or not. Matt would probably know, but he was asleep. Josh decided not to risk it. He used Acid, which seemed to do quite a bit of damage.

Yeah,” I say, Scraps’ compliment tearing me away from my daydreaming, “I guess we kind of exude that aura. Letting us stay at your place for a bit is pretty cool of you, too.” I’m already thinking about how we could personalize the place, or our own, if we ever get one. We could have a huge banner above the entrance, and it would say “Team Crescendo”, but it would be in front of a staff, and all the individual letters would be placed like musical notes. I flip my sketchbook to my notes page and write that idea down, too, so I don’t have to go to the treble of remembering the idea later.<br/><br/>	“Gah!” I shout when the sudden attack calls begin to sound throughout the room. “Do-do Pokemon actually do that? Or maybe it’s some sort of rehearsal? For a play or something?” You'd never get to the top by making yourself so obvious, unless it's your ultimate attack, but even then, the only thing you need to do is resist the urge to say ""no one could survive that!"" and shut up anyone who dares to think of doing the same. The rumbling of my stomach is enough to bring me back to more important matters; food!<br/><br/>	“That sounds like a pretty good plan, actually.” I answer, putting my sketchbook and the satchels on an empty bed. After some deliberation, I decide to take my scarf off as well, not wanting to get any food on it.

Xeno asked, looking to where the goomy and mudkip were fighting to try and reassure himself.

""No, not a lot of Pokemon actually shout out their moves; Team Frontline is the only team who bothers to do it. It sounds unnecessary, but one of the other guild members, Kawazu, claimed that move-shouting intimidates or distracts the foe and increases your chi,"" Scraps explained. ""I mean, it does make sense. I tend to yell when I do my kicks and punches.""<br/><br/>The whole concept still didn't make a lot of sense to Levita; she wasn't a direct fighter who used her body often, anyway. So she found it appropriate to just comment with: ""That's interesting."" Once the Scraggy closed the door, the one next to them opened, and Levita was able to get a good look at what seemed to be ""Team Frontline"". A black paw with red ends emerged from the door, and out came a Zorua and an Aron...with a Fletchling on the Zorua's head. They looked like as if they've just returned from a dungeon mission, though it was likely they were just fighting with each other in the room all this time. ""I totally won this time,"" the Zorua commented smugly; he seemed to have a green armband with a badge, drawn with a symbol of three arrows pointing upwards. <br/><br/>""No, you didn't!"" the Fletchling retorted; she had a high pitch in her voice, and gave the Zorua a quick peck on the ear.<br/><br/>""Did – OW! What was that for?"" the Zorua whined before glancing at the three in front of them. ""Hey there, Scraps. I didn't know you suddenly got popular with the ladies lately. Did you sleep with – OW!""<br/><br/>""Don't mind Ebon here, he's just being a dirty little fox,"" the Fletchling berated, her wings folding before smiling back to the three. ""Oh, congratulations, Scraps. You formed your own exploration team now?""<br/><br/>""Scraps is just lending us the room for a few days,"" Levita interjected; she couldn't help seeing someone get their facts wrong, and moved in front of the Scraggy to point to herself confidently. ""I'm Levita, and she's Rebecca. We're part of Team Crescendo. Perfect to the last beat!"" <br/><br/>Ebon found another chance to talk again, and pushed away the Fletchling to get close to Levita and Rebecca, giving them a quiet stare at first. ""Team Crescendo?"" he repeats, before raising his paw and shaking the two, his attitude changing an entire one-eighty degrees. ""Well, it's nice to meet you two! My name is Ebon. Cinder's the Fletchling, Collier's the quiet Aron. We're Team Frontline – always on front, always first."" Levita accepted the shake with a blink, looking at the Zorua's two other members; Collier merely answered with a ""Hey.""<br/><br/>""So, we're neighbors! For now, that is,"" he continues, pulling on his armband. ""And it's dinnertime as well. Mind if we all walk along?""</div>"

I never really understood that whole “chi” thing. It’s apparently supposed to be some sort of natural energy that’s in all living things, but what does that have to do with punching things? Wouldn’t yelling sort of decrease the amount of chi you have, considering you’re using energy to yell? Can you have too much chi if you yell a lot and don’t punch anything? What happens then? Is it like when you fail at lightning-bending? Or maybe that’s why grumpy old Pokemon always age the worst; the excess chi from yelling at everyone is causing their bodies to deteriorate faster. I reach for my book in order to write a reminder to ask a Fighting-Type or some sort of guru about this later, but quickly realize that I’d left it in the room. <span class=""bb-i"">Damnit…</span><br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">Dirty indeed…</span> I think to myself, the Zorua’s cut-off statement making me feel… uncomfortable. I open my mouth to correct his Fletchling friend’s assumption, but Levita already has it covered.<br/><br/>	“Umm, hello.” I say awkwardly with a little wave, feeling like I need to come with a better follow-up slogan at some point or another. After I shake Ebon’s hand, I wave at the other members of the team as they’re introduced, and nod when the Zorua asks if we should walk together to the cafeteria. I’m interrupted by an oddly skittish Nincada who seems to have some sort of speech impediment.<br/><br/>	“It’s actually <span class=""bb-i"">Crescendo</span>,” I correct, putting some emphasis on the “sh” portion of the word. “No ‘t’ sound involved. You see, the ‘c’ is actually a soft consona-” I’m interrupted again when he both asks and voices his enthusiasm for food. He has a very basic yet disjointed way of speaking, like he doesn’t really have a good understanding of the language he’s using.<br/><br/>	“Well, yeah,” I respond sheepishly. “There’s probably a lot of food in the cafeteria.

I had to drag him down before some stray attack would end up striking him in the face. That's how all villains come about, after all. ""John you twat, you ought to keep your head down!"" I scolded at him, looking around the swamp for any other commotion while ensuring he was enjoying himself. Well, at least make him feel like paying us in the end. I had no idea what was going on out there, and I didn't want to know. Surely John didn't want to either.<br/><br/>- - -<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">No, no, no.</span> You know, I rarely feel anything. Emotions? Something our ancestors thought were useless, trying to erase such things like a taboo. Sure enough, that ended well for them. It was 'logical' to engage in mutually assured destruction, and for what? Scientific advance? It doesn't take a robot to figure out that just didn't make sense, and I AM one.<br/><br/>Well, was. When the world was young and charred, simple beings of bells and keys were considered Pokemon. I suppose I can't deny the fact I'm also a Pokemon.<br/><br/>""Milloon, that place is the literal representation of a pit of death-""<br/><br/>""But we gotta explore that place down there!"" Dear Liberty. I just realised why I've been regretting everything I've done for the past millennium. Sure, Miles got in trouble a lot and he was just a hunk of metal at the time, but DEAR GOD HE WAS NOT AS ANNOYING AS MILLOON! I regret everything just by being near Milloon. Every second, he would ramble on about some ridiculous thing, such as going on a quest to save a princess, or nuking the world again. Was he infected with malware or something? In this little cabin, every little jar collected over the years seemed to have cracked just from the very frequency of his voice. ""It's gonna be fun! We get to fight monsters, ghosts, vampires-""<br/><br/>""For the last time. There is NO such as thing as ANY of the aforementioned you confounded-""<br/><br/>And then, it occurred to me. Somehow, over the voice of Milloon's shenanigans, I realised I had missed Miles. I was... a broke dick piece of shit <span class=""bb-s"">drill</span>. What have I done? I've left myself in a mess, forced to listen to the innocent yet broken voice of Milloon. Miles was probably crying while I tried to truly relax. But as a soldier, you know two things: desertion gets you shot, and you can never relax. For once, I felt... guilty.<br/><br/>With that in my mind, I thought of a plan to escape. Before long, I had charged the cannon on my back, a yellow hue enveloping the room before leaving a mere hole in the wall. And the melted remains of a Porygon, sending out sparks and oddly physical numbers.<br/><br/>""Sorry 'bout that."" I whispered, not really giving a damn as I left the cabin. He was too annoying for me to care about. As I rolled in my old rusted tank treads, I looked behind to see the world I was leaving behind: a cabin, a disused silo and remains of a bomb shelter. I saluted them all in one go before leaving, hearing sand crackle under my treads before officially entering the ocean.</div>"

First, the solosis' reflect wore off, allowing me to finally attack the thing at full power. Second, I managed to find a weak spot that I could exploit using vine whip. The solosis gulped as soon as it noticed one of its precious shields fading into non-existence, which tipped me off. I noticed the faint pinkish light of light screen, but not the yellowish light of reflect. As soon as I could, I ran up to the thing, and hit it as hard as I could with my vine whip, making sure to hit it directly between the eyes. It was too much for the solosis to take, that is, including Celes' use of ominous wind, and Kamina practically throwing a gastly at it. Said gastly didn't survive Kamina's last flame charge, either, meaning we were free to continue on, finally. ""Took you guys long enough. I was starting to wonder if I was going to die of old age before we could get the wonder gummi,"" John commented. It took everything I had not to use vine whip on him after that, and I just said ""Yeah, now, where is this 'guardian' of yours so we can finish this mission?"" John then pointed to our left, and I headed in that direction immediately, making sure my teammates were following along. We eventually reach a strange-looking altar or something, holding some sort of orb, one that glowed with a bright, white light. ""Uh... John? Are you sure this is where your gummi is? All I see is some sort of orb,"" John then insists ""Yes, it's here. The orb's just a facade! You'll see, you'll all see once the guardian gets here!"" I then hear a voice from, I guess directly under the murky water underneath the altar ""Okay deary, mommy's gotta go for a bi-"" the voice was cut off by a higher-pitched, louder, and more annoying voice ""Ugh, MOM! Who's going to finish dinner then, huh!? I'm STARVING!"" The first voice then adds ""It will only be for a moment, you can wait,"" The murky swamp then seems to somehow open up, and some sort of platform raises a nidoqueen up to ground level. She clears her throat, and says ""Intruders, state your business!"" She said that part, though, as if she was reading from something, rather that just saying it from memory. John then blurts out ""We're here for the priceless artifact that you guard, oh guardian!"" The nidoqueen then answers ""I see. Obviously, I can't just let anyone have that, so, I will have to fight you,"" she said this in an oddly calm manner, and stepped off of her platform, letting it lower itself back to where it was. She then attacked John with a poison jab before we could do anything, leaving him in bad shape right from the start. ""Hey! Hands off the client!"" I end up shouting, using vine whip on her after that, though, it didn't seem to do that much, unfortunately.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Rounds and rounds of absorb, tackle, absorb, heal passed by as the others dealt with the various other pokemon for a while, with Josh learning a new move in thunderbolt, which was probably going to be enough for them to finally get here. They then formulate a plan to get Josh closer to us, with Xeno confused as to whether he should help Josh out now, or later. I would have said something, but I needed to keep my focus on this fight, lest I forget to attack by accident. ""Hmph, I can already tell you're getting tired, Anthony. You should just give up, and join me as we destroy that 'team' of yours... oh, it's not even YOUR team? All the more reason to destroy it, right, old friend?"" I look right at him, and shout ""I will NEVER give up!"" I then thought back to the scrafty fight, wondering how, exactly, I pulled off that odd move. If I could figure that out, this fight would be over. Unfortunately, all I can recall after getting kicked, and having my helmet knock me out was just darkness, well, until I woke up and the scrafty was looking much more tired, and I was much more energetic for whatever reason. <span class=""bb-i"">Maybe that move just happens at random. I mean, usually, when a pokemon's in a situation like this, they'd end up using, or at least be able to use, their secret move... yet, I can't for some reason.</span> I think as I continue the pattern, ad nauseum.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Thankfully, William came to his senses, and joined us at the dinner table shortly afterwards, though, for some reason, he seemed unfocused, just sitting there, daydreaming about something. There seemed to be a trio of new members in Wally's guild, all of whom showed up at the table as well. Particularly, they were a gastly, a larvitar, and a bagon, who I think I've seen before. I finally introduce myself after my second plate of food vanishes, saying ""Hello, new recruits, I'm Bonnie, of Team Green. I know, that team name seems a bit odd, considering that only one of us is green, but believe it or not, this smeargle used to be a keckleon! Anyways, I wish you three the best of luck on your missions,"" I then smiled at them, letting them know that yes, I actually notice them, unlike several other pokemon who seemed concerned about their own teams and nothing more. A couple of jokers show up, and shout ""Team Awesome has arrived!"" Though, I didn't know of any team 'awesome', a group consisting of a snivy, a bulbasaur, and a mudkip entered the door, asking ""So, where's our food?"" They came here late, so, by now, most, if not all of the food was already eaten. ""Um..."" I answer, having eaten the last of the apples that was on the table. They then point directly at me, and say ""You! You are now an enemy of Team Awesome! Your life is forfeit!"" I just laugh at this, knowing full well that my team could easily beat them, should the need arise.</div>"

Why did they emphasize the word “steal” like that? Did they think we’re thieves? Did they have a traumatic experience involving their favorite spot getting stolen? I decide it’s best to not overthink it. Sticking close to Levita, I decide to only take some fruit slices, and even then a carefully determined amount. It’s important to clean your plate and stay healthy (the latter especially when you’re both in the adventuring business <span class=""bb-i"">and</span> happen to be a princess), and that means no mysterious soup. But what if the soup is actually really good for you? The dilemma manages to occupy my thoughts as I sit down and eat quickly yet delicately, one of my many skills. <br/><br/>	I eventually decide that it probably isn’t too bad, but I should know more about what I’m eating irregardless as I finish the last of the fruit and stifle a belch, which still manages to be audible despite my attempts to the contrary.

Let's finish this and head back to the guild."" Sure enough, the damned Solosis couldn't exploit the laws of fighting and got badly pounded. Not that we really cared; he did try to hide behind a bunker of moves. Ghastly was also gone, blasted with flames. I felt a somewhat embarrassed and disappointed for causing an explosion earlier, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO GAS AROUND THIS PARTICULAR AREA. Well, better safe than sorry, and John seemed keen to have a chaperone. We did hope that gummi we were finding was just some dud to piss him off, 'cause karma.<br/><br/>Spruce actually knew where he was going, Kamina was in the beat and Celes was... well, Celes. After a while of dodging shadows and branches, we made it to a rather large swamp, surrounded by marsh and putting me off as it was full of annoying buzzing sounds. In the middle of the murky swamp was some sort of prayer alter, with old scripts even Davis probably would've had a hard time understanding. Probably had a swear in there. Interestingly, an orb was perched on top of the old moss-covered alter. ""Huh, a facade."" I scoffed at John, who seemed like dying at the thought of the gummi at this point. He kinda gave me a bad look while I talked. ""We could always take the thing and sell it, y'know. Arceus knows who'll want it, though."" A good suggestion it was. We'd probably get a few Pokes, enough to buy a few TMs and kick ass.<br/><br/>And then a giant motherfuckering Nidoqueen. Even for her size. Initially there were bubbly murmurs from underneath us, before a large wooden platform appeared in front of that alter. Of course, John's reckless attitude for life ended up leaving a bad mark on his back, while Spruce was worried about our graves. Oh, what graves you may ask? THESE bloody graves. The ones taking form in this swamp thanks to John and Spruce's immediate response. Well, at least I knew I wasn't gonna die in some swamp, 'cause I'm damn bleeding out here.

Both John and I nod, and she continues, asking ""You don't even want this orb that I'm guarding?"" I then say ""No, ma'am,"" and she asks ""Okay, what kind of gu-"" she, however, was cut off by John shouting ""I want the famous, amazing, magical, wonderful wonder gummi!"" The nidoqueen laughs, and says ""Oh, you just want one of those things. I guess someone heard about me getting a wonder gummi once a week,"" John mutters something to himself, and the nidoqueen leaves using that same platform that she used to get here. I then heard some more voices from below, though, since they were much more quiet than the yelling that occurred earlier, I couldn't quite figure out what was being said. John then asks ""B-but isn't... isn't the gummi her greatest treasure?"" I shrug, and finally decide to answer Kamina with ""No, it's not normal, and I honestly don't know why he was so critical of us earlier,"" a few moments earlier, the nidoqueen comes back, this time with the wonder gummi, whose color seemed to change depending on how you looked at it. ""Honestly, I've gotten sick of their flavor. Here, you can have this one, for free,"" she then hands me the gummi, and I give it directly to John, who looks a little confused for some reason. He eats the gummi, but nothing obviously magical or strange happened to him afterwards. ""Can we call this a completed mission?"" I then ask John, who nods. Just before I hit the button, however, I hear the platform being lowered and risen again, and I could almost faintly make out the words ""WAIT FOR ME!"" Though, upon teleporting, there was only my team, and John with us.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Another absorb, and Martin was just about to heal with an Oran berry when Josh came from nowhere, and hit him with a thunderbolt, not only burning his berry, but greatly damaging him, as well, in the process. I then decided to tackle him, given that I didn't need to heal anything, and I managed to send him back a couple of feet. He tackled me back, and I countered his tackle, knocking him out, and confusing his teammates, all of whom either flew/ran off, or were just running around this place for some stupid reason. Troy, the purrloin who helped us out earlier, then returns with the carbink, and says ""Wow... I guess he never really did beat you, did he?"" I respond with ""Of course not. If he did, do you think he'd be hiding out in a place like this?"" Troy shrugs, and the carbink says ""Th-thanks, by the way. I was going to send an SOS letter, but I couldn't find a piece of paper. This 'Martin' fellow apparently doesn't like keeping that stuff around,"" I then look back at the rest of my team, and say ""You know, a fight like this... it kinda reminds me of why and when I joined you guys in the first place. Thanks. I really couldn't have done it without any of you,"" I then teleport the team, carbink included, back to the guild, and for some odd reason, Troy came with us. ""I suppose I should repay you for what you've done. Here, it isn't much, but, you can have it,"" the carbink then hands us an odd, golden berry, and a blue gummi while Troy heads down the ladder for some unknown reason. Officer bisharp, who never gives anyone his real name, then appeared, with Martin between himself, and several deputies. ""Here's the bounty that was on this guy's head,"" he then says to us, handing Josh 2000 pokedollars, and running off to wherever they head off to after they've caught a criminal.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I head past 'Team Awesome', feeling unusually happy as I do so, and actually hopping like the rest of my kind usually does, instead of walking like I usually used to do.

Meh, we probably will, they DID say we were their enemies, after all.</span> I think as I approach the team rooms, with mine being the second one on the left. The rest of the team was there, and Tini, thankfully, slept in his own bed rather than on our new teammate. I would have offered the new teammate my bed, but, well, he was already asleep, and I didn't want to wake him up, at all. I then jump (literally) into my bed, and fall asleep almost in an instant. Things were kinda looking up, even if William was going a little nuts, trying to get us to go on two missions in one day. Yeah, the desert heat was harsh, but, I did finally get confirmation that, despite all of what I've done to these guys, they will help me, as friends. This thought on its own was comforting enough to me for this to be considered a good day in my book. I started dreaming, this time about the entire team helping me finally beat down my father, who obviously deserved it after what he's done. Interestingly, in the dream, my father kept shouting about how this isn't possible, about how this shouldn't be happening, and about the fact that I can't do this, that I'm out of my level range, or something stupid like that. I, or rather, my dream self, didn't listen and kept attacking, eventually getting a victory over my father, which would have brought a smile to my face if I was still awake, somehow.</div>"

Seriously though, she was glad this mission was over... She wanted to get away from him. He was a disgrace to all eeveelution everywhere. Hiding behind rocks, yelling at the ones that worked for him... Seriously though, she was glad that was over. She walked to Spruce and breath deeply.<br/>""Job done..."" she says before lowering her voice.<br/>""And I just want to get away from this guy as quick as possible... and never do any more jobs for him ever again.... alright?"" she then whispers to Spruce. If it wasen't for her patience, which was running thin, she would have gone and striked the client so hard on the head that he would probably faint in one strike. But she kept calm. Next time.... it would be best to just go and get the item, and then come back and give it to the client instead of the client coming with them if hes gonna act like this.<br/><br/>------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>As Eralionwas sleeping, he was having some strange dreams. Dreams about metalic gears, hammer sounds all around him, magnemites and other things flying around. He looked everywhere, confused as heck about the dream, as he was walking forwards, looking everywhere. Though he didn't feel like he was walking, just floating, as if a spectator to what he was seeing. Many pokemons were working around the place, trying to keep the place sturdy until what felt like a earthquake started to shake under them. Then the dream went blank, with nothing happening, before a normal dream started to take place, with Eralion in the forest, walking around and helping pokemons out, dreaming of himself, but bigger... stronger like his mother. One day he might come back to his parents and share stories with them, but for now, he kept sleeping, and dreaming of the possibilities in the future.</div>"

Never mind about not using the eating utensils - some even placed it on the tray. Conversely, Scraps had the decency to use the tissues and ate rather slowly. Wasn't really surprising to her, since he already gave the impression of being introverted and calm.<br/><br/>Reb's call to her snapped Levita's attention back to the Ralts. ""Huh, what is it?"" she asked before Reb asked her back about her explorer motivations. Levita stopped eating for a second, swallowing the food (which would have made others wonder where the food actually went) and going into deep thought.<br/><br/>""Oh...um, well, I wanted to follow my dad's footsteps. Not like we have feet, anyway, but that's besides the case,"" Levita responded, scraping her spoon against the surface of her tray. ""But...my dad was a S-Class explorer. First-rate and renowned. He might have gone through some issues in his life, but I think he's awesome regardless.""<br/><br/>Levita lowered down on her seat and smiled. ""My dad always fascinated me and my brother with his dungeon tales and even showed off a few of his signature moves at times,"" she added, sighing. ""...Then my dad somehow disappeared during one of his dungeon trips. We waited for days, and days became weeks, and weeks became months. I was convinced he might have lost his spirit...but my brother Cobust wasn't convinced by that.<br/><br/>""Cobust and I both decided to be explorers then and now, but then my brother, who could never let go of the past...he became the more notable explorer soon after our dad's disappearance. It was just unfair,"" Levita clenched her strands and looked up to Reb. ""Cobust somehow managed to learn and master our family's Shadow Ball at an early age, he's far more combat experienced, and he even evolved faster...I decided to separate and begin again, which is why I came to Allure. I don't hate Cobust, but...it always feels like he's one step ahead. Always.""<br/><br/>Levita floated back up on her seat and tried to smile again. ""That's why I'm going to make sure to place all my dedication to this guild and team. Soon enough, I'll become an S-class explorer, just like my dad was and what he would have wanted.""</div>"

I could talk to him for hours and hours, but it always felt like nothing was ever getting through to him…” I sigh, the exasperated breath of air blowing my hair around wildly for a moment as I reach towards my neck with my right arm, quickly realizing that there’s nothing there at the moment.<br/><br/>	“Eventually,” I continue, “I realized that since Leon was the only one of us who was going to get any influence back home, and there wasn't going to be much that I could do about it once he did, that I needed to leave.

Xeno didn't give chase, confused by his opponent's sudden departure which took the edge off his shock from being teleported once again. <br/><br/>They were back in that dwelling again, far from the place they had trekked to and apparently safe.

There weren't too many pokemon walking down the hallway, and there was some sort of new team that I didn't have the time to greet right now, who were discussing something involving 'S-class' whatever that meant. I was too tired, both mentally and physically to deal with anyone else right now, so I just ignored the group, which included a member or two from 'team frontline' for whatever reason. I then make it back to my room, and simply collapse into my bed. Once asleep, I didn't have any kind of dream, though, maybe I was just too tired to actually think up a dream, or something, but, the bed has never felt more comfortable, even if I failed to make it, and was sleeping above the covers due to my tiredness and laziness. I never wanted to help out John the jolteon again, especially if he was going to continue to act how he did during this last mission that involved him.

I'm Anthony, a member of Team Scarab, one of the, well, moderately famous teams in this guild. So, I've got some time, did you three want to talk to me about anything?"" I say to the trio. The other pokemon, someone from that team of jerks 'team frontline', then just seems to walk away, saying something about not wanting to talk to a 'D-ranking scrub' such as myself before leaving. <span class=""bb-i"">Since when did we have ranks? What's an S-rank even mean around here? Why wasn't I told any of this by Archie or Arnold?</span> I think as I watch him leave.

The balloon realized that despite their small personality differences, their history wasn't all that different. Maybe they were going to really get along with all this exploration team issues.<br/><br/>When Reb got up, Levita felt a bit full as well, and held up her tray to return it on top of a lone counter, where all of the used trays seemed to be stacked upon. Quickly she floated there and back, rubbing her eyes. ""Yeah...we got a big day ahead of us, so rest well. Need to be ready for our first mission and all,"" she agreed, before realizing she had nearly forgotten someone, turning back to Scraps.<br/><br/>Scraps...she really hadn't noticed that he was there, eating all his food and overhearing them. The Scraggy hardly showed any emotion as he poked his leftovers with his utensils, and the scene made Levita felt guilty that they had ignored him all this time. Well, he never commented when they talked, but she also remembered that he was alone this whole time. She clenched the ends of her strands and slowly floated away. <span class=""bb-i"">I don't even have the face to apologize to him,</span> she told herself, leaving Scraps with the Nincada...she wasn't sure if the thing came along, actually.<br/><br/>Levita had left the cafeteria minutes after Reb, and so she was unable in see her anywhere. Probably went back to their room already. The Drifloon didn't feel like going to sleep; she wasn't tired, anyway. She was a ghost, after all, and ghosts didn't need sleep and were supposed to be more active during the night. She was intending to wander around the town for a while and just gaze at the stars. No scaring others tonight. She was too excited about tomorrow and didn't need to entertain herself.<br/><br/>Levita quickly levitated herself upward towards the guild entrance (or exit, in this case), and moved toward the town square. Night vision kicked in for a moment, but was soon blinded out from the lights. The town certainly wasn't less busy, even in the night, with several civilians wandering around. In fact, Levita could feel the presence of fellow ghosts, and noticed one nearby on the counter as a Chandelure, and shuffled close to her before realizing the Pokémon's presence was unfamiliar to her mom's. She was a bit too close, however, as the stranger Chandelure - who Levita identified as Candace thanks to the self-explanatory sign in front of her - glared back, and she immediately moved away.<br/><br/>Then she moved towards the Bisharp constabulary. Levita had recalled how her father mentioned that he often had to do bounty missions, and whenever there was a guild in town, bounties had to certainly be taken to the town constabulary, where they locked up the targets for whatever crime they had committed. She expected their team to be doing bounty missions fairly soon, and as the apparent leader, she needed to know how everything worked around here. <br/><br/>Levita shuddered when she entered the constables, detecting the Bisharp officer. <span class=""bb-i"">These officers could seriously beat me down with one hit, that's for sure,</span> she thought, seeing the officer bring away a Mudkip outlaw. There was a group of Pokémon around her age nearby with similar guild badges, and one of them was accepting the reward money. <span class=""bb-i"">A Reuniculus, Goomy, Skrelp, and Sableye.</span> Certainly an exploration team.<br/><br/>The three of them went off by themselves, leaving only the Goomy, which she promptly approached before he could go off anywhere. <span class=""bb-i"">If they're from the same guild, but a different team...then I should get acquainted with them. One team could only do so much. If we can build some relationships with other teams, then the work would be less stressful. And it's perfect for spreading the word of Team Crescendo!</span> she reasoned, smiling. <br/><br/>""Hey, you're from the Allure Guild, right?"" Levita asked with a friendly smile. Getting a closer look at the Goomy, she couldn't help but admit that he was a bit cute, but tried her best to appear calm and casual. She added her question with another one, hoping to start a conversation. Yes, she was going to act as the beginner (which could be half-true). ""Then you might know how things work around here. Do you know where to find the bounty bulletin board? I've been searching around here, but I never found it. Sorry...I guess I'm a bit blind when it comes to finding stuff.""</div>"

I ran about for a while, eventually going outside and speeding off throughout the town, restless. Never before had I eaten that much food, other than every night for the past few weeks. I ran into the forest, immediately coming upon a snivy. Suddenly, I felt something slap against my face, like a vine. ""Vine whip?"" I ask, using Leech Life and having the pain slowly go away. I then use Harden after he hits me again, with vines. I used Leech Life once more, and I could feel the coward sprint from the fight once he realized that I was just going to leech life and get most of whatever he took off back.

The scarf was never really fitted to someone as small as a Ralts, so it’s actually pretty big if it’s not folded up so much like it usually is. It’s almost big enough to be used as a blanket, but despite the fact that it isn’t, it feels nice to unfold it and hug it like one anyways. Ready to go to sleep, I close my eyes, and feel like I’m ready to drift off…<br/><br/>	Drift off…<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">DRIFT. OFF...</span><br/><br/>	I realize that a pile of straw isn’t really the most comfortable thing in the world to sleep on. Especially with the luxurious bedding I’m used to. Or maybe I’m just really anxious about what’s going to happen tomorrow. I’m known to do that quite often, actually. Like that one time when Dad said he’d be having foreign diplomats over for dinner tomorrow, and I kept bugging Leon about which way the forks were supposed to go when we were done eating, and it was all at two in the morning. Mom and Dad had a long talk with me after that happened… Yeah, I’m probably just anxious.<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">I should probably do something more productive instead of complaining to myself about the cheap beds…</span> I think as I get out of the bed and grab my notebook and a spare pencil. I try to think of something to draw, but there’s nothing that’s both interesting and wouldn’t keep me up until tomorrow night trying to finish. I decide to start a little journal… diary… thing. It’ll be nice to have some sort of record of day-to-day events either way, so I don’t have to try and remember them myself.<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">‘Day One’</span> I write, deciding to start with the date of our team’s formation. <span class=""bb-i"">‘I think I just might have made the right decision: Not only did I find a home here at the guild, everyone’s so nice here. You can literally bump into someone on the street and find a new friend in them. That’s how I met my teammate Levita, actually. She’s really calm and collected while still being compassionate, and kind of cute in a balloon-y sort of way. I guess not everyone’s really nice, though, because there was this <span class=""bb-b"">very grumpy Vanillite</span> who claimed a whole room to himself, but even then, Scraps was willing to let us stay at his room for a while. Everything here has this weird way of balancing out’</span><br/><br/>	I don’t have time to finish or punctuate that statement when the door opens, and I close the book and hide the pencil in my bag again almost on reflex. Thankfully, it’s just that Nincada again, though he looks a little more scruffy than he did before at the cafeteria…<br/><br/>	“Oh, hi there,” I say to him nervously. “Mister… Sir... Um… I don’t think I ever got your name, actually.” I yawn slowly, tired and not sure what to think of the little guy.</div>"

She didn't care that they missed dinner. This day had been too annoying to even give her enough hunger. She never wanted to stay with a client like that ever again. She breath deeply before drifting off to sleep, dreaming. Images of the pass that didn't seem like hers... images of pokemons walking around in a strange village. That is until a strange darness started to form near the village, with pokemons running for their lives. Celes tried to see what it was, only to see the form of a blade in front of her as the vision faded and went on with normal dreams, dreams of happy times, with her family. It then made her think about what her mother told her... all this time she had her real mother guard her... but why didn't she ever tell her... why keep her in the dark about it.<br/><br/>She just didn't know.<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Eralion woke up the next morning slowly, and stretched, only to see everyone else awake. He looked around a bit. He was use to be the last one to wake up usually... so this was really new to him. He sat down and breath deeply, before getting up and then doing some stretches. He breath deeply and looks at his team. Tini... he was one strange dratini, and full of energy, but very... let's just say strange and keep it at that. Bonnie.... she seemed to have gotten a lot of things happen in her past. Problems with her father, and listening to how she was saying it, it seemed like he did something unforgiving. He didn't know anything about her mother though.<br/>William... well theres one part he didn't quite understand. He seems to be able to use transform and even change into... very interesting transformations. And being a smeargle, he had a lot of moves he could learn and do. His past though was a mystery for him... same for that treecko Samuel. He breath deeply. All in good times. He sat in the corner, waiting for his team to wake up.<br/></div>"

A week? Several days? Felt like forever, to be honest.<br/><br/>I had gone through so much shit within that time. First I find out Davis is some ungrateful asshole, then we get caught up in a fight against Desia. Not even that and already I was on the verge of being a psychopath. In the end, I just wanted to go to bed. I didn't need to care anymore. I had new friends, a job (that pays well), and I was content with my life. Letting go of the past is sometimes the only option.<br/><br/>Yet, something still bothered me. Just a nagging feeling. Even when bleeding on eons old tiles, I still think about what is bothering me. ""Spruce, hey-"" Before I could say anything, Spruce had left the lobby. Celes had already departed to her cabin, as well as Kamina (who snaked through the corridor). For some reason, I felt... a rumbling. Empty, in fact.<br/><br/>I was hungry. I was never hungry. Food was the first thing that popped up in my mind. I was going through some weird change as of lately, but I had never bothered asking anyone about it. At least I didn't seem to change dramatically - hand behind me was still there, but my magnets had stopped twitching. I thought about a wild hypothesis while strolling towards the dinner room, considerably less packed than it was 10 minutes ago. <span class=""bb-i"">Is this change... a manifestation of my anger and evil?</span> While I wasn't sure, it did have a reasonable amount of credit to it - these changes seemed to come up when my emotions flared up.<br/><br/>But, then again, I didn't want to care. If was content with my life, surely this would stop or even reverse. I felt like smiling to myself, still wondering how I'd get that bowl of berries inside me. <span class=""bb-i"">Oh well, here comes smashing them against my eye...</span><br/><br/>Everything became blurry from that point. I remember I ate a lot of purple berries, which seemed to have been picked by some dubious kid Pokemon. What did I do? I had no idea. I did remember slamming into bed by all the others, so I guess it wasn't so bad.</div>"

He tried to get away, but the voice was just as loud as it was before.</span><br/><br/> Josh opened his eyes to find that he was lying on the ground in a puddle of water. Somehow, he managed to overturn the bucket in his sleep. Thankfully, Matt was already awake at this point.<br/>""Having nightmares again, are we?"" He said, picking up Josh's bucket. ""I'll go refill this for you. Just sit tight for a moment.""<br/>Matt then left the room, leaving Josh with Xeno. He couldn't tell if Xeno was asleep or not. His eyes were still open, but he wasn't sure if Sableye slept with their eyes open. For all he knew they might not even sleep at all.<br/><br/> Before long, Matt returned and put Josh back in the bucket, which was now full of water once again. As they both went out to eat breakfast, Josh began to think about the nightmare he just had. ""You can't save her"", ""She's gone"", ""You'll never find her"". He knew that voice was referring to Kiera. She could be alive, dead, or worse, and he didn't know. He hoped that he would find her soon, or at least find out what happened to her.</div>"

Feeling groggy and somewhat confused, he had begun going over the ridiculousness of the dream he'd had last night. <span class=""bb-i"">A world beyond the caverns; preposterous </span>, he mused, grinning slightly as he pushed himself to sit so he could claw at his eyes (the sableye equivalent of rubbing the sleep from them). The first thing Xeno became aware of was the light filtering through a window on the opposite end of the room, then the neatly arranged elevated areas and piles of material he'd recalled pokemon resting on, and finally he put two and two together. <br/><br/>""Oh,"" the sableye breathed, allowing himself to flop sideways onto the ground. He hadn't been dreaming, though he certainly wished that was the case. But no- his home has nearly crushed him and his neighbors had wanted to hurt him, or worse. Now he was here, with those other pokemon; what were their names? <span class=""bb-i"">Matt... John... and Aunty...</span> he thought, spending only a moment trying to recall if those were correct. For now, it was good enough he supposed, and a quick glance around the sleeping quarters revealed none of them were present. There were a few pokemon here still but none of them were who Xeno was looking for, so feeling more than a little anxious the sableye crawled off on his own.<br/><br/>The first place he found himself was outside, and a quick glance around revealed no familiar faces so he retreated back into the large dwelling. In a way it's many spaces reminded him of the caverns he knew so well, but they felt unnatural in how smooth everything was so he decided against crawling on the walls for now. Feeling somewhat purposeful, Xeno hurried around the next corner in hopes that if he retraced his steps from yesterday he might find someone. So after passing the sleeping area once more he followed the hallway that led back to where they'd magically been transported the other day. Then, low and behold, Aunty the Goomy was standing in front of the entrance to another area of the building with a pokemon that could float like Matt.<br/><br/>""Aunth- um- you,"" Xeno called out, rushing over on all fours like he was afraid the Goomy would run off, even though it wasn't really capable. ""Oh good, I found you; this dwelling is confusing to navigate,"" the sableye remarked as he drew closer, slowing down and transitioning to his hind legs only. Upon drawing nearer he became more aware of the other pokemon's presence, and looked up towards it with a slight air of confusion. ""Are you another that I need to remember?"" Xeno asked the driffloon, scratching the back of his neck as he continued to look upwards in order to make eye contact.</div>"

I rushed over to the sound thinking that it might be an intruder, and notice a strange water type pokemon on the ground, with a reuniclus nearby. Wait, no, I knew these pokemon... Joe, right, and Marty? There were also a couple of unfamiliar pokemon as well. A starly, and a, erm, vanillite? I had already rushed into the room, and probably looked like I was spacing out, so, I ended up finally saying something ""Um... hello? I, um, heard something fall onto the floor, something heavy. I didn't know our rooms were so close to each other. Joe, right? From Beach Cave?"" I really hoped I didn't mess anything up, but, to be honest, it's been a while since I've seen, well, anyone from that group. The goomy whose name I couldn't recall wasn't present. Either this meant that they kicked him off the team, or he just wasn't here at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if that goomy ran off and stole from someone. He WAS an outlaw before all of this, after all. The room, itself seemed somewhat cleaner than my team's room was, which was weird, considering the fact that they had at least one slime-based pokemon on their team, and sleeping in that room.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Levita, as I learned her name was, and I talked through the night, which was fine, I wasn't exactly tired, and I was sure the guild would provide a chesto berry for me if they noticed I was dragging my non-existent feet, or falling asleep during the morning chant thing. Funny thing, nobody ever seems to actually go to that, anymore. Sure, the newer teams wouldn't miss a single one, but after a while, they'd just head right off to whatever job they were doing. I guess the reason for that was that, unlike Wally's guild, we didn't have any sort of loud pokemon to wake us up for that exact chant. ""Hey, Levita... I was just sort of wondering something, but, do you think that our guild got the reputation for being undisciplined because almost none of us go to that dumb morning chant?"" She seemed new, so she probably didn't know, but unfortunately, the question just sort of found its way out of my mouth before I really thought it over. Maybe I really was tired. Again, though, the guild will probably give me a chesto berry when they find me like this. Out of almost nowhere, Xeno showed up, and asked if he was supposed to remember Levita. He was already having trouble remembering my name calling me 'Aunth-something' I chuckle a little, and say ""Good morning, Xeno, and sure, she's Levita, a newer member at the guild. Also, the name's Anthony,"" I then look back at Levita, wondering where the rest of her team ran off to. I was almost certain that they fell asleep at some point, and considering where we were, they'd probably find us soon enough. I then notice a female nidoran with an odd, shining necklace. Static woke up at that, and seemed to be trying to fight his way out of my bag until I opened it for him. ""The light orb! She has it! We have to take it from her!"" Static shouts almost as soon as he shows himself. ""Uh... that's Static. He's kind of a part of some important mission I'm on,"" I then say to Levita in an effort to make Static's sudden interruption a bit less rude.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I finally woke up from my sleep and notice Tini uncomfortably close to me. I scream almost by accident, and almost fling him off of me. ""Oh no... sorry Tini, it's just... well... sorry!"" I say to him afterwards, hoping that I didn't convince him that I'm some sort of evil pokemon, or something. Eralion was sitting in the corner for some reason, awake, though Samuel and William were still sleeping for whatever reason. <span class=""bb-i"">That was pretty bad. I just hope he doesn't take my screaming the wrong way. I just don't like it when other pokemon get that close. I always think they're going to attack me or something... maybe I should try to stop that. These are my friends, or at least, my allies, they're never going to attack me.</span> I think as I start heading towards the mission boards. The walk there was littered with other pokemon awake and ready to take missions, as well as Larry shouting at... whoever that diglett sentry was. I never really got his name. Apparently, a belsprout, a camerupt and a ponyta were all visiting the guild from wherever the heck they came from. Larry let the team in, and I finally got a look at the boards. A familiar-looking bidoof was seen on a 'lost pokemon' poster. That same bidoof that took the mission to find and arrest my father. <span class=""bb-i"">No... he didn't...</span> I think before tearing off the mission and racing back to my team's rooms. I show them the mission, and remind them ""That's the bidoof that tried to take down my father. I... I think... well... look, if there's even the slightest chance we can get him out of there, we have to do that. NOW. He won't last long in there,"" <br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>Apparently, the guild was already closed by the time that my mother and I got there, so we had to stay outside for a night. Honestly, though, it was still more comfortable than the bed at her house. Of course, I'd never say that to her. Not directly anyways. Either way, after a seemingly short night, the guild opens up, and I yawn as I wake up, the sunrise looking even better than it did yesterday, with the usual oranges, and reds, though, the clouds were covering the sun, a little bit, which only made them look orange or red, rather than actually cover the sun, itself. My mother was still asleep for some reason, so I used double kick on her to wake her up. I knew it wouldn't actually hurt her, so, I didn't hold back. She woke up after the second kick, and started mumbling something about the light orb, which just made me roll my eyes. ""Yes, please go back to the swamp, the orb needs you. Who knows who could have tried to steal it by now,"" I say in an almost sarcastic tone to her. I then take a few steps towards the guild, and end up getting stopped by a couple of pokemon. More specifically, a gurdurr, and a machoke. ""And who might you be, nidoran?"" the machoke asks me, with me answering ""I'm Nina, and I'm going to be a new apprentice at the guild, whether you like it or not,"" the two laugh, but move out of the way, with the gurdurr saying ""Yeah, you sure have the bravery of an explorer. You'll fit right in here, missy,"" I decide against glaring at them, and simply enter the guild, that is, after they unlock the front door. <br/><br/>Once inside, I was almost overcome with the sheer number of pokemon that were just generally milling about the place. I passed by a drifloon, and a goomy who were talking to each other. Maybe they were a part of the same team, or something. I didn't pay attention to what they were saying until a pichu popped his head out of the goomy's bag, and shouted something about my necklace being the light orb. ""What!? Are you insane? Why the heck would I have something like that?"" I shout back to the pichu, who jumps out of the bag, and says ""No. I am never wrong about an orb's location, and you have one. It's around your neck, isn't it? Are you the guardian of the light orb?"" I shake my head, and step away from the pichu. Did he really want to steal my necklace because he thought it was the light orb? Thank goodness I got my mother to get back to guarding the real thing, then, if thieves were about and hiding in explorer's bags. I then overhear the goomy say something about the pichu ""Uh... that's Static. He's kind of a part of some important mission I'm on,"" that confirmed it, then. They were thieves, and trying to throw this world into ruin by stealing the orbs of balance. I wouldn't have any of that, so I started running off, however, that proved itself to be impossible, as Static was faster than I was, and quickly blocked my way towards the guildmaster's office. ""Give us the orb,"" Static put bluntly. ""Never!"" I shout back at him. I would have told him that this wasn't actually the orb, but not only did I have a feeling that he wouldn't believe me, but it would be safer for the real orb if he actually thought this was it.</div>"

She didn't know what to think about them at the moment... She was too sleepy to even react that much. She saw that a certain goomy was not there with them. She didn't know where that goomy went, and to tell the truth, she didn't think too much about it. <br/>""So.... what been happening lately?"" she then asks sleepily, slowly waking up.

You can’t listen to jazz while you eat a Chesto Berry…”<br/><br/>	“I-I’m not aware of any jazz bands in town at the moment, at least not any that play at this hour…”<br/><br/>	“... That’s a good point, actually… Thank you!”<br/><br/>	I take the berry and nibble it absentmindedly as I exit the cafeteria and walk through the guild. I hadn’t really slept well, mostly on account of the beds. I should have brought over a pillow or something, now that I think about it. I bet if we had better beds, the efficiency of the guild would increase by at least ten percent… Does Levita have this problem, being all balloon-y and such? Does she even sleep? She either got up really early or never went to sleep at all, or otherwise I wouldn’t be out looking for her. Wait, if she was up all night, she might need a Chesto Berry, too…<br/><br/>	One food trip later, I return to my previous location with another Chesto Berry. I guess these things really do get your day started. What’s even in these things, anyways? In my wandering, I eventually manage to find Levita, who seems to have found herself embroiled in what could be an epic conflict in the making! At least, I think that’s what it could be…<br/><br/>	“Hi Levita,” I say in an admittedly strange blend of nonchalant enthusiasm. “How are you today? I didn't see you anywhere after I woke up; did you sleep at all last night? Just in case, I got you one of these Chesto Berries. Also, what’s up with the Macguffin? What’s it do?” I offer her the berry telekinetically, taking the opportunity to inspect the necklace in question around the Nidoran’s neck. Apparently, it’s some sort of “light orb”, so I guess it glows in the dark? Or maybe it’s just not very heavy? Neither of those seem very valuable, actually. I notice that the elusive and mysterious Nincada, Chip... is no longer elusive and mysterious! I smile, delighted that I've found the answer to one of the world's many conundrums.</div>"

During their night-long conversation, the Drifloon has learned of the Goomy's name - Anthony - and had completely forgotten about ""asking"" him. She was a bit surprised the gooey dragon Pokémon didn't fall asleep by now, and when he got onto the question of missing out of morning calls, Levita suddenly jumped up. <span class=""bb-i"">Morning chant! I almost forgot about that!</span> ""Umm...from first impressions, the guild is pretty chaotic and wild, but I guess we have individuality over order,"" Levita replied after some thought. ""I'm not advocating for any guild...they all have their pros and cons, but what really matters is getting through problems. As a team.""<br/><br/>After finishing her explanation, she felt a presence...and turned to the Sableye nearby her. <span class=""bb-i"">Ugh. These crystal-eyed dolls or something give me the creeps sometimes,</span> she thought; she lightened up, however, when he greeted them. Anthony quickly introduced her for him, and she gave a friendly wave back. ""Yes. Nice to meet you, Xeno,"" she greeted, stretching her arm strands. ""Actually, I may have to go soon. My team is probably waking up by now, and I promised one of them that we'll be starting a mission today. I hope we'll-""<br/><br/>Suddenly a Pichu jumped out of Anthony's bags, which startled her. <span class=""bb-i"">Arceus, what's with the Pokémon here? It's like they're all designed to murder me...</span> Anthony introduced him as Static, who was currently rambling about some Light Orb that the female Nidoran had. ""Important mission? Light Orb?"" she repeated. The idea of them being some undercover agents or guardians of the world sounded improbable and humorous, and Levita moved away, hoping not to get involved in this drama.<br/><br/>But her fellow team members, who had just recently arrived on the scene, did get involved. And finally...the Nincada revealed his name! In a third-person style, though. He didn't seem to happy; Levita didn't believe the commotion was that loud, but then again, Nincadas, like many bug Pokemon, had profound senses of hearing, which would have made a bit of sense. Rebecca came to the scene as well and greeted her, and the balloon Pokémon glanced back at her.<br/><br/>""Um...I was out for the whole night. It's virtually impossible for me to sleep in the dark. Ghost, remember?"" she replied. ""Can't starve, can't die from dehydration, and I'm more active in the night. As for the Light Orb..."" Levita floated toward the three and swiftly casted a Tailwind to blow the them back. <br/><br/>""Alright, we need to all calm down here. First of all, what is this Light Orb and Guardian whatever, and secondly, I doubt such legendary material is on a regular Nidoran like her. She doesn't even know what's going on, and I don't know what's going on, and can we talk like civilized Pokémon?""</div>"

Feels like time skipped and knew when to stop.<br/><br/>It was good to get up, albeit drowsily. Those berries seriously must've been those wild ones, 'cause I still felt somewhat sleepy. Either way, the sun was shining in my eyes... and for once, it wasn't blinding. It didn't even bother me - it was just a yellow orb in the clear blue sky it was, leaving thin streaks of radiant light which made the room quite bright.<br/><br/>And, I was hungry, a disturbing feeling of emptiness within myself. I was still used to these odd and new senses, and unfortunately I was no closer to finding out than I was several days ago. This adventure felt like months and even years have passed by, with odd intermissions from time to time.<br/><br/>Smiling and rising out of be-<br/><br/>Wait.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>That wasn't white noise.<br/><br/>""Yeah, whatever Kamina."" I grumbled, twisting my magnets when I realised I just kinda ignored him. Poor guy. How the hell did I miss the giant fish in the room? ""Let me just follow my normal schedule. Includes adding your response to my post, 'cause I forgot.""<br/><br/>There was a peculiar image of myself that I wasn't familiar with while inspecting the magnets. While the guild didn't provide us much aside from protection and bland cabins, they did provide some amenities - for example, a framed mirror on the wall with dried spots of water dotting it, obviously from previous inhabitants. It caused the illusion of making the room feel bigger-<br/><br/>Oh, for goodness sake. Brushing aside useless narrative and Kamina himself, I peeked in the mirror to see what was wrong with myself. And, there it was - a blue pupil in place of my old black one. Nothing too dramatic and I breathed out a sigh of relief, but that just left questions as to what the hell was going on with myself. I smudged my eyelid, the now-flexible metal of my magnets feeling like it was grinding against a sheet of... well, metal. ""Has my eye always been blue? Bah, I got a schedule to stick to.""<br/><br/>I left my room, hovering down the corridor and passing some rather talkative Pokemon. Just a normal day, though I ended up spiking upwards at a random scream. ""Oh for fuck's sake."" I mumbled, preferring not to get myself into some domestic abuse incident. This was a guild - they could handle themselves.<br/><br/>As soon as I opened the doors to the lobby, my supposed ears were compounded by sound after sound. It was busier than usual today, with several new applicants joining the guild. A Nido-something for one. I spent about 5 minutes looking around for Spruce and the others (they had left without me - and I forget about Kamina telling me about that), but afterwards I got bored and trailed back to my room. I steered clear away from that room with a scream, but I did get an attraction to another one.<br/><br/>Before going there, I went back to my room. Evidently, I left Kamina alone and sad. Well, less emphasis on sad. ""Right, where to?"" I sounded a bit bored and somewhat stern, though I was definitely in a better mood than I was yesterday.</div>"

It didn't seem like he saw me, however, and he simply floated off to my team's room. I somehow got to the mess hall before Josh, and I wait for him, as well as Celes, for a little while until they finally get here, and I ask ""So, what's up with Anthony? What'd he do to get kicked off your team?"" I then recall a few others who are no longer in that room, a combee, who I think might have been named 'Vex', and something else that I can't remember. Of course, that combee was their leader, so, chances are that they didn't kick her off... unless she kicked THEM off, and they started a whole new team, one which eventually kicked Anthony off of the team for whatever reason. Anthony could have just woken up before everyone else, but he didn't really strike me as an early riser, though. <span class=""bb-i"">I suppose whatever he did, he's an outlaw again, and probably either on the board, or turned in by his old teammates. That fight must have been fun to watch, with all of them mad at each other about Anthony getting kicked off of that team.</span> I think as I wait for a response from Josh or Matt, leaning on the door frame as I also wait for them to go inside.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Static and Nina, the new apprentice, were running around, with Nina trying and failing to get away from Static, who blocked her escape at every opportunity. ""Static, stop! Why would an unevolved pokemon be in charge of something as important as an orb of balance, anyways?"" He thinks for a moment, and eventually comes up with the solution of ""To fool us, that's why. Besides, we're unevolved pokemon, and we've taken down a guardian before, so maybe she's like us, secretly powerful,"" Nina didn't seem to like the sound of that, and the others, as in, those who I assumed to be the rest of Levita's team, started crowding the area, and were all telling Static and or Nina to stop this right now. Nina said, in response to Static saying we've already beaten a guardian ""W-what!? No! That's... impossible!"" She seemed scared, which for some reason struck me as not in her character, at least, from what I've overheard from the guild guards. Nina, after looking at everyone, and trying and failing one last time to run off, uses double kick on Static, who didn't see it coming, and somehow took the hit, both of them. Static then responded to that with a laugh, and a use of his thunder wave, basically stopping Nina in her tracks. She probably couldn't talk at the moment, but she looked terrified, which again, didn't seem to fit what she said earlier. Maybe she's just afraid of being unable to move, of being stuck in one place, or something similar to that. Maybe she thought we were thieves, trying to destroy the planet with the power of these orbs... which reminds me, a ralts who wandered in on the scene seemed to ask what these orbs did, and since Nina couldn't talk, I answered for her, as well as for Static, ""This orb is a part of a set of four, with this one representing the sub-type light. Every pokemon has a sub-type, most of whom, like myself and Static, have 'normal' as their sub-type. What these orbs do is keep these sub-types in balance, and prevent one or the other from taking over... just as well, they also control the power of all pokemon with that sub-type, so, if one was destroyed, say, the normal one, all pokemon with that sub-type would wither away and most likely die. The reason we need them is basically to perform some sort of repair job, as they seem to be losing their power, at least, according to Static, they are,"" I then turn my head towards Static, who was using thundershock on Nina. I figured it wouldn't do any good to shout at him to stop by now, as he's already ignored everyone.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>Unfortunately, even the tailwind didn't seem to do much to deter Static the determined pichu. In fact, all it really did was make him angry at me. Thankfully, Static's own teammate shouted out ""Static, stop! Why would an unevolved pokemon be in charge of something as important as an orb of balance, anyways?"" I was relieved, as this might mean that he would at least think about letting me go, and he did, for a moment, which I saw as an opportunity to escape, however, apparently that was a mistake on my part because as soon as I did, Static ran back to block my way again, with an even angrier face. Static then answers with something that horrified me beyond belief, ""To fool us, that's why. Besides, we're unevolved pokemon, and we've taken down a guardian before, so maybe she's like us, secretly powerful,"" <span class=""bb-i"">No... that can't be. One of those orbs is ACTUALLY in danger now. This can't be happening, but... if this is true, then, why didn't I see any withering or dead pokemon on my way here? Why am I not withering away? Hm... maybe they started with the Shadow or Void orb, just so their deed might go unnoticed.</span> I think before eventually saying ""W-what!? No! That's... impossible!"" That seemed to give the pichu a smug smirk on his face, which I thought might give me an opportunity for escape again, but, like last time, I was dead wrong. ""Please, just listen to the others and STOP!"" I then say before using double kick on Static, which had him retaliate with thunder wave, paralyzing me, and making it impossible for me to walk, let alone escape. <span class=""bb-i"">This is the end, isn't it? The end of all pokemon... who'd have thought it would be a pichu that ends us all?</span> I think as Anthony, the goomy who was trying to help me earlier, explains exactly what the orbs do to the other team. I tried to speak through my paralysis, however, I couldn't. All i could do was change the expression on my face to basically say 'Help me!'. I looked at the ralts as I did this, as she seemed like she'd be a bit more of a help than the drifloon, and I wasn't sure who the nincada was affiliated with.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>As soon as I showed them the mission statement, it seemed like everyone was ready to go, and, in fact, William surprised me with his speed as he raced off towards my dad's old place, near Sunswept Plains. I follow him, and I had to assume Eralion and Tini would join us shortly, but as soon as we made it to the plains, themselves, I knew what I had to do. I had to point the team towards my old house, and, towards my father. I hesitated for a moment, and tried and failed to say anything about it until I walked halfway across the plains, and saw the old path. It was somewhat overgrown due to a lack of pokemon using it, but it was still visible. ""Th...this way,"" I say to whomever was with us at the time. I then head down the path with all the memories flooding back to me. I was sweating, had a scared look on my face, and shivered with every step I took towards that horrible building which probably looked like a nice, expensive mansion to everyone else. To me, all it looked like were those memories, a hostile, evil place. One that I swore to never return to unless I was strong enough to beat my father. It seems like time has a funny way of making you break your own promises to yourself. Even so, it got harder to move on the closer I got to the building, and the closer I got to the building, the slower I moved, mainly out of fear, until I was behind everyone else. I then look around, as if I'd find some sort of secret stash, but really, I was just coming up with an excuse for my suddenly slow speed. ""Uh... yeah, it's around here somewhere, my old stash of warp seeds, that is,"" I half-heartedly say to my teammates as I continue to 'search' for the 'warp seeds'.</div>"

Or do you not need to sleep at all? I’ll just save it for later.” I listen to what the Goomy has to say, wondering why I haven’t heard of something so ridiculously important as I think about what to do. I notice the Nidoran emanating a really intense feeling of despair towards me, and I use Confusion to move the Pichu slightly to the right, diverting his attack from the Nidoran, and Teleport between the two of them. I noticed that Levita's Tailwind move blew my hair around in a way that I thought was pretty cool, and I think I should tell her to do that more often later.<br/><br/>	“Okay, okay,” I say to the two of them, trying desperately to keep a straight face and not break out laughing as I hold up both of my arms as a way of telling them to stop. “Let me try and shed some light on the possibilities here; what we all really need to do is… <span class=""bb-i"">light</span>en up...” I snicker and grin at my puns before calming down myself. <span class=""bb-i"">that should soften them up a bit, one way or another…</span><br/><br/>	“All puns aside, though,” I reason, “There’s a lot of problems with this whole situation.

She’s either toting a fake, or she’s not very <span class=""bb-i"">bright</span>, and I highly doubt the latter. Also, Static, if you want to recharge these orbs or whatever, you should probably just slow down for a moment and try to reason with her instead of just trying to trap her here and take it from her.

Either way, this is the first time I've ever seen him act out like this,"" Static listens to the others make their points, and he says ""Yeah, I guess you're right, it's a fake, but, I'm certainly not opposed to a little bit of interrogation,"" he then turns his head towards Nina, who escaped when she got the chance. ""What!? How'd she get away so quickly?"" Static asks me. I give my best impression of a shrug, and he starts searching the entire floor for her, eventually giving up, and saying to Rebecca ""You know, those puns are a dangerous poison. Be careful with yours, they almost killed me,"" Static seemed serious, but I knew he wasn't, and he returned to my bag after that, apparently defeated. ""Thanks, you guys, seriously. I'm sorry I didn't help you out, or step in, but honestly I wasn't sure what to do, or who to help,"" I then say to the group, who again seemed to be a team. I start to leave, but instead ask ""Hey, I don't think I ever got your team's name, who are you guys?"" I then just await their answer as I hear someone sneak around behind me, and I could feel Static trying to jump out of my bag, however, this time, I made sure that he couldn't get out. I then turn towards Xeno, who seemed to look back for a moment, smiling, after giving his thoughts on the matter. I nod, hoping he'd understand that yes, he said the right thing, and say ""No, arguments aren't always this complicated, but they're probably more complicated than you're used to,""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>Just before what I assumed would be the final onslaught by the mystery pichu, everyone else stepped in, and stopped him. Rebecca came up with some light puns, and I couldn't stop myself from chuckling a little bit... of course, she also explained that the pichu is going about this all wrong, and that a real guardian wouldn't bring such a powerful item to a guild, while Levita suggested that they interrogate me, and that the pichu should slow down. I shake my head at that, a little scared of any kind of actual interrogation, especially if Static, right, that was his name, was the one doing the interrogating. Chip yells at both of us, and uses sand attack to temporarily blind Static, which I saw as an opening, a way to escape. Anthony started talking for a moment, distracting Static even further, and allowing me to head straight upstairs to the guildmaster's office. Once inside, I was greeted with ""Oh? Are you a new friend?"" I give the guildmaster, an audino, a confused look, but his assistant, an archen, then asks ""Would you like to join our guild as an apprentice?"" I then finally say ""Oh, yeah, I would. In fact, that's why I'm here,"" the archen then remarks ""That's the only reason why someone like you WOULD be here... er, never mind that, would you like to start a new team, or join an existing one?"" I think for a moment, and remember the group who helped me get here without too much harm. ""I'd like to join an existing one, which team is it that has a nincada named Chip, a drifloon named Levita, a ralts named Rebecca, and a goomy named Anthony?"" They both look at each other, and then started digging through the records, eventually pulling out four pieces of paper. The guildmaster's assistant then responds with ""They're not all on the same team, most of them, however, are on team Crescendo, with Anthony being on team Scarab,"" I then give it a bit of thought, and ask ""Which team is the pichu named Static on?"" They take another look, and the assistant adds ""He's nowhere to be found in our guild records, sorry,"" I then make my decision, and say ""I'll join team Crescendo, then,"" I overhear Anthony continuing his speech, still distracting Static, and I make my way downstairs, never really passing them, considering they're on the first floor, with the mission boards, and the entrance, whereas the rooms are on the second floor. Once in my room, that is, the room that Archie, the guildmaster's assistant led me to, I notice an extra bag lying around with some stuff in it and my name on it. I pick it up, and try my hardest to put it on, only succeeding a few minutes later.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>After stuffing my face with a couple chesto berries and an apple, as well as listening to what Josh had to say about Anthony, I responded with ""Huh, that's odd... so, you kept the ex-outlaw, and your leader left you?"" I then end up asking ""So, what are you guys doing? I mean, a few teams here are doing some things that aren't board missions, heck, my team and I are -"" I then get cut off by Kamina saying ""<span class=""bb-i"">There</span> you two are. I hope M and I are't interrupting anything,"" I stop for a moment, and say ""N..no, you're not. I was just talking with Josh, he's kind of our next-door neighbor. He, and the rest of... wait, what was your team name? Er, anyways, he, and his team live in the room right next to ours. They were also helping us at the whole Beach Cave incident with Anthony and that outlaw mudkip,"" I then turn towards Celes, who was asking the same thing I was for some reason, and from the corner of my eye, I could see Archie leading someone to a room. A new guild member, perhaps? I basically ignored that, though, and just waited for everyone to say something. I was already finished with breakfast, but the others still seemed to be eating, and I was patient, at least today I was. M seemed oddly quiet, today, though, I guess the most I'd usually get out of him was a grumble or a mumble about something or another. He always seemed to be in a bad mood, especially ever since we headed off to Deep Ocean for some reason. <span class=""bb-i"">I wonder what's on M's mind right now... meh, I guess I'd know if I was psychic, but I'm not, oh well.</span> I think as I start looking around, noticing that my group seems to be the only ones in the mess hall right now, well, save for that one bidoof, who seemed to be eating half of the guild's available food.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>The feeling of dread only seemed to intensify as we searched, as every minute seemed to be bringing me closer to the mansion, my father's mansion. I expected everyone to just wait there while I searched for the imaginary seeds, however, they all tried to help for some reason. I DID find A stash of seeds, but I don't think they were mine. In fact, they were in a bag with a picture of a snivy on the front. I took a look inside, and dug around, finding nothing but a stockpile of quick seeds. Everyone was going to ask about MY stash, and will probably be suspicious if I can't produce one, so I took off the picture of the snivy, and said ""Uh... I found it... but it wasn't warp seeds, it was quick seeds,"" I almost instantly regretted saying that, as now we had no more excuses to not head into the mansion. I decide against eating any quick seeds at the moment, and continue to lag behind my team as we tried to head into the mansion again. However, the moment we got there, I could already see my father, he was across the room, and most likely heard the big, creaky door open. ""I...it's him!"" I shout before trying to run, eating one quick seed, and dropping the bag near my teammates as I race off, with my father chasing me. I had an idea of where that bidoof was, however, I was heading in the wrong way, I headed upstairs, a place where I've never been in all my time living here, whereas the bidoof was probably in the basement, where he used to keep me, his previous victim. Thankfully that quick seed allowed me to outrun my father, but not by much. I ended up hiding in some random closet, reminiscent of that OTHER mission involving an overly fancy mansion and a horrendous monster living in it.</div>"

Well... guess things did change for them. Then M and Kamina arrived, with M being rather silent compare to everyone else. Well that was strange. Usually he was the one to comment or say something or another, but not this time. She then stretched a bit, before looking at the door.<br/>""Well... it is nice to see you guys are alright... though Spruce... maybe we should start our search for you know what.... or maybe a mission on the mission board?"" she says, looking back, only seeing just then what seemed to be a small white spot moving away quickly. She stares for a second, her senses kicking in again.<br/>""If you excuse me..."" she says before running out of the room, fallowing her senses, going towards where she was sensing it, only to feel something else not too far from there. Another ghost? What the heck was this.<br/>--------------------<br/>Eralion was walking forwards, listening to Bonnie before she warned the group that her father was there, before she took a quick seed and runned off, probably to find the bidoof quickly. A persian.... a big persian at that. Eralion swallowed his saliva before suddenly taking a quick seed and then rushing to the persian, using karate chop on him. What happen next was not what Eralion expected. The hit striked as if he hit a weak point, but it was so weak that Bonnie's father just scratched off the hit.<br/>""Oh dear Arceus... RUN!"" Eralion says, running off to the stairs.  That guy was strong... to have resisted a hit like that. This was bad. They had to get that bidoof out of there quick before something bad would happen to him, and then get out quickly. They had to be really quick. If only they had warp seeds instead. Throwing one to the persian would have forced him away and made the mission easier... but that was not the case. Maybe he could find a way to slow down her father... furniture... that what he needed to use. But he had to be sure the others could escape also.</div>"

He somehow escaped from prison, so we had to go out and capture him again."" Josh said. He then paused for a moment, wondering if he should tell them about the Orbs of Balance. He knew that he couldn't go around telling everybody about them, but he trusted them, and they might even know where one of them might be hidden.<br/><br/> ""We've also got another thing that we've been doing. It's much more important than just capturing some outlaw."" He said. ""We're looking for the Orbs of Balance. There's one for each sub-type - Normal, Light, Shadow, and Void. We already found the Normal one, but we don't know where the rest are.""<br/><br/> Celes then suggested that her team go find a mission to do, then ran out of the room.<br/>""Yeah, I guess it's about time we got back to our team, too.""

Just then he remembered that M was right next to him and hadn't said a word yet. ""Come on M, say hello to our neighbor, don't be rude.""

While the Persian did let out a cry of pain, it didn't stop to remove Tini, giving the little beserker the chance he needed. Wrapping his body around the tail, he was able to free up his mouth to wield his trusty frying man ""<span class=""bb-b"">!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>"" With a might swing, he struck the large Normal Type...right in the butt.

I bet that I could do that better if I did it more often...” I begin to think about all the cool things I could say whenever I got the chance to do that again, maybe even some sort of pun or one-liner, but then Chip decides to attack Static for whatever reason. What’s the deal with this place? Why does everyone try to hit each other the moment things start to get tense? Do they have some sort of grudge against diplomacy? Is it just lost to this part of the world? I take a deep breath, managing to calm myself down. I notice the Nidoran escaping in the midst of the chaos, but I don’t really do anything about it; it’ll stall the conflict for a little while and she’d probably have some time-consuming reason to go here in the first place.<br/><br/>	“Well,” I say to the Pichu (whose name seems to be Static), “I was always told that words have power.” I smile confidently, also having been told that power can be wielded in a variety of ways. I don’t think I was using Disarming Voice, so it shouldn’t have done any actual damage... Maybe I should explore this idea more later; I think I’m on to something magnificent...<br/><br/>	“Oh yeah,” I say to the Goomy (whose name I don't think I ever caught), “We’re Team Crescendo; perfect to the last beat! Actually, that’s a really good slogan, considering we haven’t failed a mission so far...” Of course, I leave out the fact that we haven’t actually gone on any missions yet, but it’s still technically true. I probably should have told that to Team Frontline, too. That would’ve taken some of the wind out of their sails.</div>"

Probably not the best way to deal with things, but it was a way nonetheless. She returned her smile and pulled on her bags. ""I'm pretty certain two-thirds of our team aren't guys, Anth,"" she commented. ""And yeah...good luck on your mission. Speaking of such...we haven't picked one yet!""<br/><br/>Soon after, Rebecca made a quick introduction to their team, and Levita grinned widely in response. The slogan sounded even more witty when they made an entrance - maybe they should shout it out in front of some outlaws. Oh...the possibilities were exciting her! The merry Drifloon floated towards the bulletin board to pick out a mission...before an icy arm blocked her way and took out one first. ""Ahem,"" the Vanillite muttered, scribbling his name on the mission sheet, which read: ""Accepted by: Sherbet.""<br/><br/>Levita frowned and stared down at ""Sherbet"". <span class=""bb-i"">Ugh...him again...</span> she thought to herself, before noticing something curious; several of the mission sheets were scribbled with names or team names. That was pretty smart, organizing the missions like that instead of just pulling it off the wall, but right now, Levita was more concerned with the rude behavior of the icicle Pokémon. ""Hey! That was our mission!"" she exclaimed.<br/><br/>Sherbet glanced back at her and twirled the marker (no fingers?) around his hand. ""Oh? Well, one, I don't see your name on it, and two, I'm assuming you're a new team, which means you have zero missions accomplished and are not allowed to pick a three-star mission. Unfortunately, I've been here for several weeks and have a passing mission record, so start at the basics or don't start at all,"" he replied, copying down the mission on the board on a small notepad and sliding away.<br/><br/>Levita muttered to herself as he left; all the Vanillite seemed to do was appear, then disappear. But...he did make a point. They were a new team, and they needed to start small. Most of the missions were taken, however. ""Oh...here's one!"" she declared to Chip and Rebecca. ""Dropped some papers around the plains. Help me pick up some for reward of 200 Poké. -de la Passant.""<br/><br/>She glanced at the two before writing the team name down on the paper. ""Strange name there. You two ready for a mission?""</div>"

The place was wide and had many plates of berries, and in fact it was the same place I had my dinner before going to bed. It didn't have too many people this time, except of course a few tables had groups of Pokemon just enjoying their late breakfast.<br/><br/>I didn't feel like saying anything, 'cause I didn't really have anything to talk about. Maybe the colour of my pupil, but someone would've noticed by now. I yawned (or rather made a yawning noise), still groggy and not entirely vitalised. Kamina told me to actually talk instead of feeling like a brick, before leaning in and whisper something to everyone. I didn't need to know. ""Oh, hey. I haven't seen you for days."" The problem was, I had no idea what had happened beforehand. Spruce was chatting to Josh, seemingly like buddies talking about life in general. I could however tell my greeting probably didn't match the general mood around here. At least Celes felt confident and talkative with Spruce, though I did notice her space out for a bit. <br/><br/>""Something catch your eye, Celes?"" Sure enough, she ran off before I could finish my sentence. Call me paranoid, but I did think she had a dark past - something that was beginning to catch up to her. Then again, everyone in this little team had some ridiculous back-story or past events which happened to them, hence why Spruce made this group. I mean, for goodness sake, we had to fight Spruce's brother, we got introduced to Celes' apologetic parents, and... Kamina is Kamina. I didn't want to know about Kamina's past. My past? Involves hiding out with Davis from something. Now that I think about it anyway. ""Spruce, that little adventure of ours happened just a few days ago. Man is this roleplay slow. Wanna go stalk Celes? She's awfully jumpy as of lately.""</div>"

""Yes! Perfect to last beat! Wait, what is 'beat'?"" I asked, waiting for an answer. Levita soon headed off to the mission boards and I decided to follow her, hearing a vanillite sass her. I decided that this guild didn't need any more fights, so I let them talk, and I scuttled over and looked at the mission that Rebecca had picked. ""Hm... Yes! Chip like to eat paper. Not as good as chips, though. Chip is hungry. Team should leave <span class=""bb-i"">right now!</span>"" I say, running around in circles, excited to leave this rude place of mean pokemon and fights.<br/>-William-<br/>When our team got to the mansion, we saw the owner: a persian, who looked less than happy to see uninvited guests. I saw Bonnie eat a quick seed and run away as fast as possible, and Tini boldly grabbed onto the persian's tail, with Eralion using a failed karate chop, only to take a quick seed and run. I looked at Tini, and ate a quick seed, also picking up Bonnie's bag. I couldn't do anything to save Tini now, he put himself in too dangerous of a situation, and if I tried anything and got too close, I'd be that persian's lunch. I ran downstairs to search for Bidoof, since the other team members ran upstairs, and I shut the door behind me, looking around... man, did it stink down here. I used transform to become a Lampent, perfect to light up a large area around me without having an exposed flame to set this mansion ablaze.</div>"

I continued to cower there, as the very thought that my father might know where I was right now practically paralyzed me. Thankfully, he seemed to at least ignore the rest of my team, as I could hear him saying things like ""Come on, Bonnie... I just want to see my daughter again,"" what was weird was that he'd also say something like ""You're a failure as a daughter, and as a member of your species, now, get out here and take your punishment for failure!"" I supposed he was saying the nicer things just to lure me out, but I wasn't going to believe him, not after what I've witnessed. A few doors later, I hear him shout ""Aha! I've found you! There's no escape now!"" I panicked, and the moment he opened the door to this closet, I stunned him with a jump kick right to the face, and I even managed to use his face as a platform, jumping off of it, and away from him. He was stunned, but not from whatever pathetic damage I did to him, no he was just surprised to see me attack at all, let alone with a super-effective move... even if it didn't do much. I then run off, passing by Eralion, and Tini, who was wrapped around my father's tail for some reason, and gesture for Eralion to follow. ""Come on, he won't stay stunned for very long,"" I say to Eralion as I start heading downstairs, to the ground level. Once there, I try to find another closet to hide in, but opening the first closet door I could find turned out to be a mistake. A skeleton, no, my mother's skeleton was hung up in there, facing the door... of course, the main reason I could tell that this was a Lopunny's skeleton, and thus, most likely my mother's was the fact that he kept the ears... that being said, the ears were subject to rot and probably smaller creatures feeding off of it. Obviously it didn't smell too great, either. I ended up just standing there, out in the open, my mouth agape, too scared to move. That was just about when I heard footsteps approaching me again... this might not end well.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Rebecca introduced her entire team as 'Team Crescendo', with the motto 'perfect to the last beat'. I held in my laughter, and noticed that Chip didn't seem to know what they were talking about. I started thinking about how I could best explain it, but, eventually, I gave up, and eventually just left it to the rest of his team, who would probably be able to describe that better than I could. Levita floated over to the mission board, and I figured I'd follow her, though, none of the missions that weren't taken were to my liking. I then hear something, in my head, as if someone was speaking telepathically to me. <span class=""bb-i"">..ve us, pl..se, we n..d h.lp! Kiera is ...th us! We need help!</span> I then get directions to where this message came from. To the north, far to the north. I felt compelled to tell Josh and Matt about this, but, since Xeno was already here, I tried my best to explain ""Xeno, I think I just got someone's SOS message, erm, at least, the telepathic version of one. We're heading to the north if you want to come,"" I then rush upstairs to the mess hall, where I assumed Josh would be if he wasn't with us at the mission board, and, I was right. He was with that Snivy, and his team, but he was there, alright. ""Josh! I just received an SOS message from somewhere kinda far away. They said they're in danger, and the name Kiera came up. I don't who that is, but it sounds like they're in serious trouble... uh... whoops, sorry if I interrupted something,"" I then realize that he could have, and, actually was talking with the other team, and the Snivy seemed to burst out in laughter for a little bit before saying ""Well, I guess I might as well help, if anything, to prove that you've gone crazy, whoever-you-are,"" I mumble a bit, saying ""I'm Anthony, remember?"" However, as if he was ignoring me, the Snivy got up from his seat, and shouted to someone else.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>Josh started talking about how they were trying to find something known as the 'Orbs of Balance' or whatever, all the while I was getting my fill of the food here. He then asked if I've seen any of them, and I try to think back, though, I didn't have to think back too far, as it was yesterday, that mission with John the ungrateful jolteon. I remember seeing something vaguely orblike, and the nidoqueen who guarded the place seemed to put it at a fairly high value, calling it her 'treasure'. I then start to say ""Actually, I think I-"" and as if on cue, a familiar goomy barges in, and starts saying how he got some sort of telepathic SOS message from somewhere far away. I couldn't help but laugh, and say ""Well, I guess I might as well help, if anything, to prove that you've gone crazy, whoever-you-are,"" the goomy mumbles something, and all I caught of that was ""Anthony,"" which must have been his name. I then get up from my seat, and head to where Celes ran off to, and shout ""Hey, Celes! I found something for us to do! We're helping another team with some important task, or whatever, come on!"" Anthony didn't seem all too happy about this, however, and continued to mumble, though, I couldn't make out what he was saying, and something told me that he couldn't tell what he was saying either. The bidoof actually stopped eating at that point, and said ""Wow... a mission with two teams helping eachother out. Can I come?"" I didn't know this bidoof, but it wasn't really my decision, though, honestly, I'd rather this bidoof stay right where he was, if I remember, I outranked HIM even before I took on my first mission.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>I waited there, in that room, ready to surprise that team with, er, myself, I guess, but they never seemed to come. I couldn't wait all day, and I didn't want to be left out of their next mission, 'cause it would be their first mission with me as a member. Tired of waiting, I jumped off of the floor, and ran towards the boards again, hoping that they didn't go too far, yet. I pass by Anthony again, and head downstairs where I meet up with Chip, Rebecca, and Levita again. ""WAIT!"" I shout to them before they leave, soon after adding ""You're not going to leave without your newest member, are you?"" I then remember that I didn't actually introduce myself, and say ""Oh, er, right, I'm Nina... and yes, this isn't the real orb of light,"" Chip certainly seemed excited to go, running around the team a few times just to show how excited he was, though, I guess I was pretty excited, too. There was an oddly cold air around the boards, but, then again, this guild probably had some ice types in it, so that was almost to be expected, by now. I then take a look at the mission that said Taken by: Team Crescendo. Apparently someone dropped a bunch of papers in the nearby plains, and, come to think of it, I DID see some flying around when I passed by said plains to get here, I just didn't think too much of them at the time, I mean, they were just papers, why would I? Unfortunately, they were, in fact, flying around when I saw them, so they might not be as easy to locate this time around. A thought crossed my mind that I might have wanted to ask if they'd even want me on their team, first, but I'm sure if they didn't, they'd tell me now, and I'd just have to start my own team, with some other pokemon, and achieve greatness with that team, instead.</div>"

If only... if only he had something like a focus sash right now. Or something to be able to take a hit. That way, if her father would attack, he could use counter and hit him back hard enough to probably stun him or damage him so that they could run away faster. Though even then, it probably might not do enough damage. He continued to run, actually helping Bonnie move. They had to get away from here quickly. <br/>""Guys come on!"" he says.

You know when you’re listening to a song and you’re instinctively tapping your foot or nodding your head to it? Then you’ve found the beat.” I hope he knows what music is, though. If he didn’t, I don’t know what I’d do. We’d have to sing songs and introduce it to him as soon as possible. I watch as Levita tries to pick a mission, realizing that I was grinding my teeth after that Vanillite leaves.<br/><br/>	“Actually,” I say to Levita, taking a deep breath. “I think you were right. That guy’s kind of a dou-… dirtbag. But yeah, this sounds like a great first mission! Doesn’t seem like he said how many papers there were, though.

At least until I could pick out several points of dialogue, which would then be finely tuned to my ears. While floating and trying not to look like an idiot, I picked out several words of the guy's dialogue. ""Oh, shit."" I whispered to myself. I wanted to just take that thing and try to pawn it, but apparently it was another one of those possibly doomsday devices left behind by the dead world. Who the fuck would name those things 'orbs of balance'? People obsessed with a girl's show? That's gotta mean something horrible, like... I dunno, a marking beacon for an orbital strike? Davis would occasionally tell me about stories of pillars of light striking in the distance during his duty, caused by those marking beacons. Then again, they'd usually be... more cubical and practical-looking. Actually, just disregard what I've said so far and read ahead.<br/><br/>To my surprise, just a few days in and 'ey, Anthony. The guy we helped out, at that odd beach cave with those... oh. The memories of nearly killing everyone flooded back to me, and not in a good way. ""Oh hey! Now I recognise you guys."" It felt strange greeting these people, now that I knew them. They didn't know of what I did yesterday, and certainly knew what happened when I first helped them out. A dark cloud still loomed over me because of that - I mean, it was just a day since that bloody (pun not intended) incident happened. Those people were idiots, perhaps even criminals, but they were <span class=""bb-i"">juvenile</span> idiot-criminals; they didn't deserve to have their friend's head bashed countless times. Thankfully, my smile didn't go away as I looked to my past, and in fact it felt as if my thoughts lasted just a few seconds. I shuddered slightly but otherwise I was quite confident with myself. Meanwhile, Celes had returned, albeit as if she had seen ghosts... wait. ""Celes, you alright?"" I asked, wondering what was up. That simple sentence didn't suffic-<br/><br/>Soon enough, Spruce blurted out loudly that we were going to help Anthony's team again. A decent surprise, and a good one at that... Spruce didn't seem too fazed, almost deaf to what Anthony had to say. I didn't even care about Celes at that point, preferring to listen to what everyone had to say.<br/><br/>So, we had Anthony talk about some weird voice in his head. I think the helmet had got to him. Then again, this was the world of Pokemon - we had a motherfucking race die out, countless evil Pokemon (some with a rogue super-soldier serum), a bloody god, eliminated some implied hierarchy I think... it didn't make sense to simply disregard someone's thoughts, right?<br/><br/>""You too, you alright there?"" I sounded as if I didn't really care, repeating the same message I had asked to Celes. I was a bit annoyed with myself for my sudden U-turn, trying to keep a straight face - despite having to keep up with everything, from escaping criminals to crazy people. I see I didn't really live through any of that, especially those unfortunate events... ""Ergh, anyway, I'm sure you know me as M. We're helping you out; something about a doomsda- er, location of an orb we know of. It's probably gonna get loud, so don't bother dressing up for stealth.""<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Press [F] to start the heist</span></div>"

So if Spruce says that we're giving you a hand, then I'll do just that with as much gusto as I can muster...but first, food."" Kamina added that last part when he realized that he hadn't eaten at all today. While he was used to going days without anything resembling a proper meal, that didn't mean that it was a smart thing to do if he could avoid it ""come M, lets fill our stomachs before our next big adventure"" he said as he gently nudged his Magnimite friend in the direction of the Food<br/><br/>---<br/><span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span><br/><br/>Despite his grip, Tini fell off when Bonnie kick the <span class=""bb-b"">heretic</span> in the face.

Also, the walls also were every color and no color at once, the painting on the wall kept yelling at 'those kids' to get off of 'his lawn,' and there were tons of sandwiches floating around and randomly exploding. But yeah, other then those small details, it was exactly the same. ""Oh great, you're here"" Oh yeah, there was also that other Dratini in here that looked just like him<br/><br/>""Hi new friend! What is this place and who are you?"" Tini greeted and asked the other Dratini<br/><br/>""Okay first off; I'm not your friend, I hate your guts. Second; we're in your mind. Third; I'm the <span class=""bb-b"">microscopic</span> part of your brain even remotely capable of rational thought and using logic"" Logic Tini explained<br/><br/>Tini took a few seconds to digest that ""...you seem grumpy. I know; I'll call you Grumpy""<br/><br/>""Wait, what? No! That is <span class=""bb-b"">not</span> my name!"" Grumpy argued ""Ah fuck! You just changed it! I hope you're happy asshole!""<br/><br/>""Yep!"" Tini chirped<br/><br/>""...Right, forgot who I was talking to for a second. Anyway, we have more important things to discuss"" Grumpy said ""I'm going to be stuck with that name, aren't I?""<br/><br/>""We do? Is it about cookies?"" Tini asked<br/><br/>""No! It isn't about fucking cookies!"" Grumpy yelled with his eye twitching a second later. ""Okay, I'm going to need to to follow me on this; do you remember Eralion attacking Bonnie's dad with a Karate Chop?"" Tini nodded ""Good. Now, do you remember what happened after Eralion's attack?""<br/><br/>""Um...nothing?"" Tini tried<br/><br/>""<span class=""bb-b"">Yes!</span>"" Grumpy cried out in triumph with his eye twitching a second later ""now I'm going to speed this up a little bit. If you remember; Karate Chop is a Fighting Type move, and Persians are Normal Types."" Tini nodded ""which means that it should do extra damage to him...but it didn't even phase him, and that's...""<br/><br/>""...bad?""<br/><br/>""Alright! we're making progress. Now, since he was able to just shake off a move that was super effective on him, that means that you don't have a move in your arsenal that could take him down. If the two of you had a straight out battle, he'd destroy you, understand?"" Tini nodded ""however, you're not here alone. You have your friends, one of whom knows this place really well. So that means you should...what?""<br/><br/>Suddenly, Tini had an epiphany ""I get it now! I understand what I have to do""<br/><br/>""Finally"" Grumpy breathed out a sigh of relief before his eye twitched a second later<br/><br/>""I have to keep this meany distracted to buy Bonnie and the others time!""<br/><br/>""Ye...wait, what!? No!!! That's a terrible idea!"" Grumpy cried out in protest before his eye twitched a second later<br/><br/>""Thanks for everything Grumpy! I need to go back now and help my other friends"" Tini said as he began to fade away<br/><br/>""No, no, no, no, no! You're going to get yourself killed, and me too as a result!"" Grumpy cried out before his eye twitched a second later<br/><br/>""See you later Grumpy"" Tini said goodbye to his new friend as he vanished<br/><br/>""That's not my name!!!"" Grumpy shouted before his eye twitched a second later<br/>---<br/>When Tini awoke, he noticed that nothing seemed to have changed despite how long he had been talking with Grumpy. 'Maybe...I time traveled' he wondered to himself for a few moments before he remembered that he had a job to do. 'Okay, so I need to distract this big meany distracted...but how?' Tini pondered this for little bit before he came up with his answer<br/><br/>When Bonnie's dad snapped out of his stunned state, Tini hawked a lugi at him and then shot a Fairy Wind in his eyes ""hey you big...stinky head! You...you...you...smell bad!"" With his masterfully crafted insult delivered, he ran, fully expecting the Persian to chase after him</div>"

""I'll be down here for when you're ready,"" the sableye called out after a short while, watching patiently until Anthony was out of sight. <span class=""bb-i"">An Esso-wes message. That sounds important,</span> Xeno began to ponder, clued in more by Anthony's tone than anything. It was difficult to feel like there was a hurry after watching the goomy 'rush off' however, so Xeno opted to take a seat on the ground and retrieve his one possession aside from his badge; the map. Still the piece of paper sat behind his ear, folded up neatly and covered in coal dust after having been handled so much during his venture to the mountain.<br/><br/>The thought of food crossed Xeno's mind and he frowned, knowing he'd eventually need to return to the mountain. It wasn't uncommon to go a day or two without eating though, such was life when you had to blindly claw through rock to find rock you could eat. It wasn't a concern now however, and Xeno unfolded the map to examine the little circle covered in scribbles. ""North,"" he muttered, remembering what the Quagsire had said about the 'N' shape on the top of the map compass. Using his finger to follow the arrow the 'N' was on, Xeno traced a path upwards until he hit the edge of the paper. <span class=""bb-i"">So that's far north,</span> Xeno thought, noting how far his finger had traveled. <br/><br/>Eventually Xeno was greeted with the sight of Josh and Matt, the later carrying the former as usual. They seemed rushed, more so than Anthony had been, and so Xeno folded up his map and made his way over to them as they exited the guild. ""Matt, Josh- Anthony I think wanted to find you. Something about an Esso-wes message,"" the sableye called to them, wedging his map behind his right ear, opposite the ear he kept his badge behind.</div>"

The skeletons appeared to have bite marks riddling them, and the food looked at least a month old. The food didn't really scare me too much, however, those skeletons did. <span class=""bb-i"">Run. Get out of here. Your life is worth more than this.</span> I keep thinking as I continue forwards. The place itself was completely bland, other than the skeletons, all there was, really, was the stone grey walls and floor, and that one iron door that I slowly approached, with that thought repeating itself in my mind. <span class=""bb-i"">Run</span> I honestly wish I could, <span class=""bb-i"">Get out of here.</span> If only it was that easy, <span class=""bb-i"">Your life is worth more than this.</span> Yet, I couldn't stop myself from continuing onwards, towards that door. I hesitate to open it, and once I did, he door creaked loudly, obviously alerting whomever might be in there, and one good look told me that it was that gallade, again. <span class=""bb-i"">What's he doing here?!</span> I ask myself before he noticed me, and ran, full speed, at me. Before he could get to me, a trio of vaguely familiar pokemon drop down unexpectedly. It was that snivy, the mudkip, and the bulbasaur, they dropped down really close to one another, and landed in some sort of stupid-looking pose with the snivy in the middle, the mudkip to the left, and the bulbasaur to the right of him. They were about to say something, but I interrupted with ""Look out!"" They started to laugh, however, the gallade got to them before they could even make a sound, and attacked with a close combat, somehow launching them up and out of the basement. After getting over my initial shock, I tried to use will-o-wisp on the gallade while he was still trying to figure out what just happened. It might not be enough for me to beat him, but it might just even things out a bit.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Chip]<br/><br/>""But... Chip is hungry,"" I state obviously to my teammates. Apparently that nidoran from that loud, shouting chase earlier wanted to join the team, and Rebecca just let her. I wished Rebecca didn't do that, due to the fact that the first thing she did on the team was shout even more ""Alright! Let's go!"" That nidoran shouted. Rebecca then tries to explain to me what a 'beat' was, having something to do with 'music', but I didn't have any idea what that was. ""Frame-werk? Are music buildings?"" I ask to Rebecca. The nidoran shakes her head, saying ""No... but, you don't have to go hungry, here,"" she then takes out an apple from her bag, and puts it on the floor. Apples were okay, but I still preferred chips, or paper. I ate the apple anyways, and the apple filled me up, which of course meant that I was too full to eat the paper. They all started leaving, after that, and the nidoran came back and said ""Come on, Chip, we're heading to our mission,"" I almost forgot, the 'mission', the place with all the paper. I scuttled off, following my teammates, who were already heading to the tasty paper, though, I still didn't feel like eating it right now. <span class=""bb-i"">Maybe Chip will save paper for later-eating when Chip gets hungry again.</span> I think as I start looking around for any paper in the area. I couldn't find any at the moment, though.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>The footsteps grew louder as something came closer, until they finally stopped. I screamed, and turned to see Eralion instead of my father. ""Oh, sorry, you kind of scared me back there,"" I say to him. I then turn back towards the skeleton, and add ""That... she... used to be my mother. I've never told anyone, but, I actually saw him kill her and eat her... I was told to keep my mouth shut, or THIS would happen to me next,"" Eralion then suggests that we stay on the move, and I couldn't agree more. I reach for the bag of quick seeds, only to remember that I dropped them on the floor. <span class=""bb-i"">No... this can't be... I just had to klutz out NOW of all times. I just couldn't keep a hold of those seeds, and now I'm dead.</span> I think as I swallow some of my saliva. ""I... may have dropped the bag of quick seeds, earlier,"" I then admit to Eralion, who hopefully wouldn't be mad enough at me for that to karate chop me. I heard a hissing noise from upstairs, and wondered just where Tini slithered off to. He was probably somewhere exceedingly safe, in his own imaginary land of milk and cookies, or something. Well, either that, or he could be having a little chat with Xerneas, his deity of choice. Then again, thinking back, I remembered something pink wrapped around my father's tail, and Father was never one to wear something like that. It was official, from that hiss, Tini's absence, and me remembering him wrapped around my father's tail... Tini was dead. There was no saving him, my father was unstoppable, and nothing I could do would change that... right? <span class=""bb-i"">Maybe, just maybe... if we had one more quick seed, maybe I could get Tini out of there, maybe I could even escape afterwards.</span> An odd thought showed itself. Bravery? When my father was involved? Whose thoughts were these?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>Josh had Matt basically rush him out of the guild, and Celes was confused as to what the mission was. I looked over towards Kamina, who was stuffing his face with food for a bit before explaining ""We're helping Josh, Matt, and Anthony out with this SOS message that they got via telepathy, or something. I'm not actually sure if that's even really possible, though, but we don't really have anything better to do, so we're helping them,"" I then headed off, passing by a very slow Anthony on the way, and eventually finding Matt, and the bucket that contained Josh. ""Hey, has Anthony always been THIS slow?"" I ask them, somewhat ready to get going, though, since Anthony was probably the only one that knew about the mission, it would be best to wait for him, right? The entire team was assembled before Anthony finally made it, breathing heavily as if he was sprinting the entire way over here. ""Alright, can we go, now?"" I ask impatiently. My patience wore thin pretty quickly sue to how relatively fast our own missions started. <span class=""bb-i"">Yeesh, at this pace, it'll be night before this guy leaves the town...</span> I think as Anthony finally speaks ""Yeah... we're ready. Sorry, I ran because I figured you didn't want to wait too long for me,"" I nodded, saying ""Well, you got that part right, at least,"" he looked at me funny for a moment, but may have decided that what I said wasn't worth fighting me over, as he just sighed and murmured something to Matt. I then head off, only to have Anthony laugh, and point me in the right direction. I was going to say something, and even opened my mouth to speak, but decided to hold my tongue, instead, not saying a word while I followed Anthony to... wherever we were heading.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I started to rush to get to the guild's entrance, as Matt ran off with Josh almost as soon as I told them that this 'Kiera' girl. Every other participating member of this mission passed by me, even though I was running as fast as I could, thinking <span class=""bb-i"">Just who IS Kiera, anyways? Josh's mother? His sister? I guess either way, she's very important to Josh, so, I guess it's a good thing I mentioned her by name</span> I then make it to the group, with a very impatient snivy looking at me as if this was all my fault ""Alright, can we go, now?"" He asks Josh, in a somewhat annoyed tone of voice. I tried to figure out what to say, until I eventually settle on ""Yeah... we're ready. Sorry, I ran because I figured you didn't want to wait too long for me,"" the snivy nodded at that, and added his own two cents with ""Well, you got that part right, at least,"" I glared at him for a bit, but then decided that if he was going to help me, it wouldn't be in my best interest to fight him, no matter how the fight would actually go. I then whisper ""Hey, do we really need his help with this? He's kinda getting on my nerves,"" to Josh. Spruce, ever impatient, tries to run off, specifically, to the south for whatever reason. I burst out in laughter, and point him in the right direction... seriously, why would he head south if I specifically said north? Eventually, we all get moving towards our big mission to save Josh's... whoever she was to him, with The Odd Ones Out providing support.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>Team Crescendo seemed to instantly accept me as their newest member, even if I accidentally caused some sort of issue with them earlier. Rebecca says something about never missing a cue, and I end up accidentally shouting ""Alright! Let's go!"" To which, Chip flinched for a bit before asking if music was some sort of building. I shook my head, and said ""No... but, you don't have to go hungry, here,"" I then dig an apple out of my bag, and drop it on the floor next to Chip, who seemed to enjoy the apple. I then left with the rest of my team, only to notice that we were one team member short. I rush back to the guild, and say ""Come on, Chip, we're heading to our mission,"" Chip then eagerly follows us to our mission, and, as soon as we get there, starts trying to sniff out some papers. I try to retrace my steps, and end up finding one already. One marked '[CONFIDENTIAL]' for some reason. I didn't care, but I did put that paper in my bag, and tried to remember where that other piece of paper flew off to. Levita was being oddly quiet for some reason, but I didn't pay any attention to that, heck, maybe she was being oddly loud when we were in that argument with the pichu, and is usually very quiet, and reserved. I couldn't find that other paper, and the one I did find might have been that exact piece, so I rushed back to our leader, Rebecca. Chip didn't seem very successful in finding anything, so I showed the paper I found kinda nearby, for some reason, to Rebecca, saying ""Found one already... too bad I don't know where the rest of these might be,"" I then continue my search for more of these 'CONFIDENTIAL' papers, not even really caring what information they contained at this point.</div>"

Being the the world's punching bag, they mostly evolve while getting the fluids beaten out of them. Because of this, their anger during evolution tends to color their personality as a Gyrados, making them naturally angry. However Kamina wasn't like the rest of his kind. Unlike his kin, he didn't evolve during a moment of intense anger and hatred. No, he evolved while fighting off intruders on the home of a friend of his (granted, he <span class=""bb-i"">was</span> angry at them. But being angry at someone for what they did to someone else is much different then being angry at someone for what they did to you). This led to absolutely no change to him mentally.<br/><br/>So when Celes asked him to carry the Goomy named Anthony, his response <span class=""bb-i"">wasn't</span> to roar at her and attack. No, he actually thought about it. Granted he wasn't going to turn down such an easy request made by a friend of his...but something about the Goomy just seemed strange, so he thought about it...and that's when he noticed it; the hat. ""...yes..."" he whispered to himself, not as a response to Celes, but rather to some unasked question. The Goomy had a hat. If Kamina put the Goomy on his head, then he would have a hat. A hat wearing a hat. Something about this spoke to Kamina in ways he had never been spoken to before.<br/><br/>Moving quickly, he slithered over to Anthony and scooped him up with his fin and plopped him onto his head ""...yes!"" He cried out triumphantly ""a living hat wearing a hat! So simple...yet brilliant! With such power at our disposal, how could failure even be a conceivable concept!?"" Catching sight of M, he then said ""M! Quickly, get on top of my hat-hat. With you added to it, it'll become a hat-hat-hat. Can you imagine the possibilities!?""<br/><br/>---<br/><span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span><br/><br/>*Cue Benny Hills*<br/><br/>Some people would say that you must have done a lot wrong if a murderous, child beating Persian was chasing you. For Tini, it meant that he was doing a lot right. Strange huh? As he slithered at maximum speed throughout the house, he eventually realized that he would need to keep the flames of his anger stoked. So he did this by mustering up every crude and morally depraved insult his mind could conjurer ""you...you...you...you look like a fart!"" This being Tini however, his best attempts were pretty pathetic. One really useful trait of his, was that Tini was full of energy. After having been bedridden for so long, the very act of 'running' proved to be really exciting. So he 'ran' a lot. Because of this, he was used to 'running' for a long time, and thus had yet to break so much a single drop of sweat. <br/><br/>As he was running however, he somehow realized a major problem; he had no way of contacting Bonnie to coordinate the trap he knew she was setting up. That's when he remembered something 'wait...the badge! They have magic powers! Maybe it will let me talk to her.' Without slowing down, he used his chin to fiddle with the badge right beneath his head ""Bonnie, hello Bonnie? Are you there?""</div>"

Josh said. ""We have no idea what we'll be fighting once we get there. We need all the help we can get.""<br/><br/> Celes suggested that Anthony ride on Kamina's back, and Josh nodded. ""That'll help us get there faster.""<br/>As they all began to head north, Josh couldn't help but wonder who had sent the telepathic message, and why they sent it to Anthony instead of him.

And what a town! Of course, the young ekans still marveled at civilization; at the way these strange pokèmon from all over came together and... built this place. It warmed her inside, and at the same time, was a little intimidating - she was easily underfoot around some of the bigger pokèmon, despite her size, and she quickly learned to stick to the grass and stay off the beaten path. She was... hungry, of course, as she found herself more and more often nowadays as she continued to grow. Her first encounter had been with Bob and Ed - a zweilous whom she immediately decided were both handsome and charming. They reminded her of her father, and of herself - the scruffy fur on her neck matched his own, after all! Though perhaps more adept than most in the handling of a two-headed conversation, she was unable to haggle him out of even a few berries to ease her hunger. <br/><br/>She lay coiled now in the shade of a great magnolia outside of Arnold's Guild, watching the coming and going of so many new and alien pokèmon, but her thoughts were elsewhere - dwelling on the taste of Ed and Bob's scent, whom still clung to the roof of her mouth like a musk. And in time the gnawing hunger returned, and she thought of the strange chikorita she'd met earlier that day on the road to Allure. She couldn't quite recall his name, nor did she know where he'd gone. He'd only wet her appetite, giving her an apple, and now she craved REAL food - but she knew she would have to wait, and resigned herself to so doing. Perhaps on the way back to Treasure Town, she would take a detour... <br/><br/>Pokè. She'd quickly learned that she couldn't get anywhere in this town without it - Treasure Town, either. She'd never handled a coin in her entire life; the concept, the value of money, was a little slippery for the young ekans. She'd lived in the plains, after all, isolated and kept on a pretty short leash. But now, she would have to learn. This was her line of thought as she slowly began to fall asleep... <br/><br/>And then came a booming voice; an eager and excited titan out front of the Guild. She was greeted with a summarily bizarre scene when she wormed her way free of the magnolia. Overcome by curiosity, forgetting her prior worries, Thassa slithered down the hill - showing herself to the group, although she kept a distance of several yards in case of hostile reception. There, in front of the combined group, the somewhat unusual ekans stood (for lack of a better word)... watching them with bright red eyes, slipping a quiet and uncertain hiss of curiosity.<br/><span class=""bb-b"">""...Why is that one in a bucket?""</span> Her first question is a simple one, as her gaze comes to rest on Josh.</div>"

She was pulled into deep thought again, thinking how the team would all play out. Already they had four members, but the possible increase of member count might make internal affairs a bit unstable, and she was considering separating teams. Maybe Rebecca and she can run two of them together. <br/><br/>The mission area wasn't too far, and within a few minutes in, they had found their first ""CONFIDENTIAL"" paper. Levita quickly snapped out of her daydreaming and grinned; she felt that the mission wasn't going to be too hard, but it was something as least, and they should at least get a bit of Poke for their troubles. ""Hey...what do you think the papers have? The content on it, that is,"" the Drifloon suddenly asked, levitating higher to cover more ground. ""If this Pokemon is attempting to hide his...or her name and the paper contents, surely there's something secret going on!""<br/><br/>The idea excited her as well. Maybe they're going to fight some massive crime syndicate, or beat down some baddies! Then they'll go back to the guild with stories of their awesome exploits...then Levita suddenly saw something else rustle in the tall grass...and a similar ""CONFIDENTIAL"" paper disappear with it. ""Hey!"" she exclaimed, moving down near the surface. She quickly assumed it to be a wild Pokemon, though it was hard to identify it. ""There's something taking the papers!""</div>"

He waved to the Zweilous and continued reading from the book he was holding out on his forepaw. Or at least he would be reading from it, if he knew what it said. He continued the charade though stopping to bow to a passing Buizel. He checked his pouch to make sure the fish he had captured hadn't fallen on the way there. He stopped upon hearing a bit of a commotion outside of the guild. He blinked and put the book away, sprinting up ahead to see what was the cause of all the ruckus.<br/><br/>The first thing he saw was of course, Thassa, and he skidded to a halt upon this. He more tentatively approached, appearing cautious of the Ekans and said, a bit quietly, ""I got some fish..."" Then turning his attention to the guild entrance and walking towards it. He grinned and stated, ""Wow! So this is it! An actual guild! And why does that Gyarados have-what?"" He spun to look at the Gyarados that seemed to be wearing a Goomy on its head? Is this how exploration teams are supposed to act?"" He seemed to be avoiding Thassa for now, and since it seemed like they were all a bit involved in what they were doing, he looked over at Thassa and then took a deep breath before calling out, ""HELLO!!!""

Seeking some sort of comfort, the sableye quickly found his way to Matt and Josh's side as he anxiously observed each new individual. The majority of the pokemon seemed approachable, the two grey pokemon even being the same size as Xeno, and the one trailing ribbons though large didn't look intimidating. The massive serpent now wearing Anthony on his head however caused Xeno's gut to twist.<br/><br/>Even that didn't seem to be the end of it though, as yet more pokemon approached and sought to interact. Another serpent, a small pokemon with a leaf on it's head- were they coming to the North too? ""Matt,"" Xeno asked, reaching up to tug on the Reuniclus' arm, ""are all of them coming to North with us?"" Not wanting to be clingy, Xeno made sure to let go of Matt as soon as he had his attention.

It’s mostly stuff from the “Seventies” era, which was probably the best period of old world music if you ask me.

I guess it really won’t make too much sense without any of the others, though. I’m getting the feeling that all of this snooping is kind of unethical, but I don’t think it’ll matter too much as long as we don’t tell anyone else.<br/><br/>	“Well,” I say to Levita. “I think it’s either going to be reports of some massive conspiracy, or it’s going to be some sort of boring profit margins report thing.” I think it’s probably the former, but it makes me wonder how this sort of thing would come about. It seems like anyone can post a job request, but do they have any sort of screening process? Are the requests ever evaluated? Is there a blacklist for conspirators who drop their papers everywhere? I guess I can just figure it out later...<br/><br/>	“What?!” I say to Levita after she reports the stolen paper. “After them!

He just needed to find something that seemed that would be impossible to defeat and then defeat it! It needed to be something huge, powerful, and have to look like they would be prepared for a fight at anytime. Finding this type of Pokemon would be troublesome, indeed it would, as Kick had a very distinctive eye when it came to looking powerful. Kick disregard any Pokemon that was shorter than him as his feet of furry would punt them into another land and also would accept his terms in a fight without any hesitation. He has met several people that looked the part, but hesitated when asked the question to prove their worth and left them without saying another word, leaving quickly as he had come. It would only be a matter of time before he would finally meet a worthy opponent of his skill to fight, and the fight of his life it would be. <br/><br/>Kick continued along the beaten path that many have already taken with only a sack full of scavenged food, sleeping mat, and his parents notes about the world beyond the dojo. To be honest, Kick was interested in all the shapes and sizes these Pokemon could come, but he also understood why his family would only take pure fighting types in their family name as it would a sad day when a family member couldn't break a log with only their strength. The Hitmonlee grew more determined to finally meet his worthy foe in this vast land and started to increase his speed to find this allusive opponent. <br/><br/>Several days have passed since then, Kick had become irked that he hadn't found his glorious fight yet and he had been searching tirelessly to find such a Pokemon. He continued on with his search until he had arrived in the town of Allure, a peaceful town from what he could see, obviously a place where he wouldn't meet his match. The only places where he would think of finding the toughest and strongest opponent was to search the places of extreme places such as the hot desert, snowy mountains, and even underground where there is no light to be found. He was going to make his leave before in the corner of his eye, he had found another challenger that met his standards. It was a great water beast! Several times bigger than Kick himself and the first Pokemon that his father ever fought in his journey. It was said that they could topple an entire building with a single roar, at least that was what his father had spoken about it. Kick knew what he had to do. <br/><br/>The Hitmonlee ran towards the Gyrados with great speed, there were others surrounding the great water beast, but that didn't matter, they would be spectators of this great fight. Upon closer inspection, this Gyrados was bright red! A variation of such a mighty beast, obviously to show how stronger this one would be. Even upon closer inspection, there was something on its head, another Pokemon? Wearing a hat? Kick looked confused and on some weird way, Kick knew that this one was stronger than before with the hat-hat on. It took only a few more seconds before he was only a couple feet away from the mighty water beast, his eyes narrowed and he pointed at Kamina. ""You! I have searched far for someone of your stature! So, I challenge you to a fight to measure our strength! Do you accept!?"" </div>"

Not nearly as foggy as the town usually is, and the temperature mixed in with a pleasant breeze makes for a lovely afternoon. Breen Torrents, taking full advantage of the perfect day like today, just relaxes. Arms crossed behind his back, legs crossed in front of him - the world is carefree and easy on a day like this. Drink in one hand, map in the other; nothing can go wrong on such a serene afternoon, speed picking up as he plummets to the ground. <br/><br/>Oh yeah. <br/><br/>Right. <br/><br/>“Uh-huh, let’s see...if my calculations are correct, I’ve hit terminal velocity at this exact point, so I can’t possibly be going any faster within the conundrums of mathematical equations.” He flips his 3-D glasses back down, taking a sip from his soda. “Whatever the fuck that means…”.<br/>Despite the countless amounts of times he had been scolded by his girlfriend to never, ever, ever, under any circumstances take any more missions involving Magnetons with the temper tolerance of a little kid with a firecracker, Breen decided, “What the hell, how bad could it be.”<br/><br/>	Pretty bad, Breen.

Ouch. <br/>Still residing in the same position as before, he tilts the bucket upwards, adjusting his ballcap in the process, looking around at the destruction in front of him. He slides his glasses back up, tossing the bucket behind him. <br/>	He smiles awkwardly, holding up a small bag of coins. “Uh-heh. Yeah, uh...mission’s all set and done, Archie, buddy! You won’t be hearing from that evil Magneton anymore!” He takes off his cap, dusting it off - a few bits and pieces of scrap metal and screws falling out of it. “...mostly because nobody will be hearing from that Magneton anymore, uh, whoops…<br/>“Uh, Archie...you, uh? You...you’re not alright...okay, uh… well.” He looks around at the surrounding crowd, quickly flipping the Archen over onto his back, using the bucket for support. He crosses Archie’s arms behind his head and ever so slowly places a pair of sunglasses on him. “Well, hey! With this new sun-roof ya got installed, uh… it works...yeah, yeah…” He looks left. Right.

""You sure Anthony isn't crazy though?"" As I tried to point to Anthony, I realised both Spruce and Anthony had left. ""Classic."" I said, glumly and turning to everyone else. Sure enough, Celes brushed past me, following Spruce outdoors and mumbling with him. I decided to leave as well, preferring to leave the lobby which was starting to get crowded with different groups. Kamina slithered past me, somehow fitting through the entrance to the outside with me. I pretended I didn't take notice, instead preferring to scan the outside world for anything dangerous.<br/><br/>Honestly though, it was kind of a normal day for Allure Town, save for the few clouds gathering in clumps in the sky. You had the market set up selling all sorts of weird items on the plaza, whereas there were a few Pokemon who were looking up at the ominous clouds. Reactions were mixed; fire Pokemon seemed quite annoyed and disturbed, whereas water and grass Pokemon just continued on with their day, albeit with a smile. I was somewhat peeved considering that electricity and water didn't mix too well, at least according to physics and NOT laws of Pokemon strengths and weaknesses.<br/><br/>To be honest, I still wasn't too intent on following Anthony. Sure, we were going somewhere and I was actually pretty enthusiastic at first. Problem was, we were going on a hunch. A telepathic message, apparently. Who's to say that Pokemon was still alive? ""So, how's everyone doing?"" I asked, though I wasn't sure if I was going to get a response. Anthony picked up the pace by having Kamina pluck him onto his head, surprising me. It wasn't the fact he surprised me by having Anthony on him, but rather his sudden spasm of speaking just kinda came out of nowhere. ""Uh, NO."" I tensely dismissed him, preferring to just continue forwards without much to think about. I was kinda free in a way, now that Davis didn't want me anymore. No need to worry about him anymore.<br/><br/>Problem was, we suddenly had company. And we didn't even leave the town yet. Some boxing Pokemon who somehow never missed leg day showed up, blocking everyone. Noticeably me and Kamina, and I was trying to get away from him before. I couldn't help but start snickering. ""I hate to inform you, but we don't exactly spar and prove our strengths to one-another in this day and age. What are we, Pokemon trainers?"" I didn't know whether to be annoyed or just continue snickering, but I certainly wanted to continue on with this adventure.

The pokemon in this area were trapped in something resembling jail cells, and I checked every single one for a possibly beaten up and crying biddof. The first one had a beat up charizard, the one next to that had a rhydon who, for some reason was in a wedding dress, next to that one was an aggron who almost looked dead, and after that was a dragonite, who looked as if he hadn't eaten in weeks, and looked as though he was recently beaten up, as well.

I picked it up with my mouth, and carried it back to Rebecca, saying ""Chip find a paper... too bad Chip isn't hungry right now,"" I then hand her the paper because she probably wouldn't trust me with one after seeing it in my mouth. I then scuttle off in search of more paper, though, I couldn't find any more unfortunately. I hear someone talking in a weird way, but I couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

I was mostly just following Levita at this point because I had no idea where this pokemon might have run off to. Chip came by with a paper in his mouth, which he instantly just gives to Rebecca before wandering off again, possibly in search of more of them. Chip also commented on how he wasn't hungry, and how that was supposedly a <span class=""bb-b"">bad</span> thing. I chuckled at the thought of paper being someone's preferred food, but I made sure Chip was out of earshot before I did so. I then noticed some clouds forming, and, oddly enough, some rain started to fall. <span class=""bb-i"">I wonder... will this make Chip retreat, or something?

Thankfully, I wasn't too effected by it, but, then again, I wasn't a fire or ground type, at least, not yet.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>Kamina asked M if he wanted to join in his hat-wearing shenanigans, and M was very opposed to the idea. I decided against saying something, that is, until a few new, and almost random pokemon appeared, one of whom was an Ekans who seemed almost obsessed with Kamina, another one, a hitmonlee, seemed equally obsessed, however, his obsession was more of fighting him rather than getting to know him. The third was a chikorita who I didn't even notice until he shouted at us, and asked what was going on. ""Um... let's see... how do I best explain this...?"" I start to ramble until the ekans asks something completely out of the blue with ""Why is that one in a bucket?"" I then answer with ""That's an easy one, he's in the bucket because he's an ocean pokemon, and unlike Kamina, over here..."" I then gesture towards Kamina, and then continue with ""he has no real way to move on land other than, well, this way,"" M then says something about us not wanting to fight, and greeting by fighting was something a 'pokemon trainer' did, whatever that was. I then ask M ""What's a pokemon trainer?"" as he sure seemed to know something I didn't. Maybe they were pokemon who were specialized to teach, or train other pokemon? Would that make pokemon who were capable of teaching other pokemon moves pokemon trainers? I then remembered that I never answered that chikorita's question, and finally decide to answer that ""We're two different teams cooperating on some sort of exploration, apparently Anthony got some sort of psychic message, or whatever that told him to come this way,"" I then whisper to him ""I think he might be a little, well... crazy, but whatever,"" I then start to notice some clouds, and some rain. It wasn't much, just a few drops here and there, but it certainly was rain.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Things started to go much faster with Kamina just sort of wearing me as a hat, something which he seemed more than happy to do. The whole thing stopped, however, when three strange pokemon approached us. An ekans, a hitmonlee, and a chikorita, all of whom were curious about our not-so-little group. The ekans asked why Josh was in a bucket, and I was about to answer when Spruce just blurted it out for me, instead. The chikorita asked what, exactly was going on, and I laughed as Spruce stuttered and 'Um'ed his way through the question, eventually just forgetting about it. ""Come on, Spruce, it's not that complicated, but, then again, you ARE the guy who gets his north and south mixed up,"" Spruce glared at me for a moment, and then whispered to the chikorita, which I had to assume was something about me. <span class=""bb-i"">Does he think I'm crazy, or something? If he thinks I'm crazy, then why is he following us?</span> I ask myself as he chuckles to himself about something that I didn't hear. And then, rain, glorious, wonderful rain... sure, it was only a few drops, but I was starting to feel a little dehydrated with it being sunny all the time, and me being sort of, well, liquid-based. For a while, I thought I was going to start evaporating if this didn't happen. That magnemite that decided to follow us seemed a little annoyed by something, maybe he was annoyed by the rain, but maybe he was annoyed by me... why? What have I done to him?</div>"

""Judging by your behavior I think you'll be back here in a few weeks, but for now, you're free to go.""<br/>Dexter stood up. ""About time you let me out of here.""

Instead, he was greeted by a massive raincloud looming above them.<br/>""Oh, for fuck's sake."" he muttered to himself. He wasn't exactly fond of the rain. It wasn't just because he was a Fire-type. His fur always started to smell when it got wet. Thankfully it wasn't raining too hard at the moment. Judging from the appearance of the sky, though, that probably wouldn't last long.<br/><br/> Right now, he had two goals: get out of the rain, and get as far away as possible from the assholes who kept him locked up in a cell for several years. As much as he hated the rain, the latter was his top priority. He'd heard that there was another town right next to this one, known as Treasure Town. Thankfully, there was a sign nearby that pointed him in the right direction, otherwise he wouldn't know where to go.

It wasn’t a spontaneous decision; he’s spent almost a year watching any and every outsider that came into the forest (that he could find anyway). He’d spent many hours learning what he could of their language and their attitudes, such that he could eventually learn to emulate them. He’d even come up with a syllable by which he would be identifies, as they often did - Bob.<br/><br/>He’d spent months imagining what life would be like with someone watching his back - ensuring he’d have help in exchange for loyalty on his part. He spent weeks contemplating what a large group of Pokemon with such exchanges would be like. Just before leaving, he’d gathered berries and other knick-knacks that he might be able to trade for passage into whatever abode they may have. He had placed them in a net of leaves tied with string. Ten minutes ago, he finally moved in a random direction.<br/><br/>Bob was now lost. He was not very surprised - it was a dungeon, after all. The dungeon shifts, often without its inhabitants noticing, and the only way to realize this is to notice one’s nest or food cache disappear. Still, being completely and utterly lost and without any direction was rather disheartening. He could only hope that an outsider would come by, so that he might follow them back. Perhaps he could even form a bond, as he’d seen in many outsiders.<br/><br/>He spotted a pidgey in the corner of his eye - it was watching him. It looked like he’d been targeted by a predator - a situation made even worse by the enticing net of berries on his back.<br/>If he knew any expletives, he'd doubtless be using them now. Instead, he carefully walked away, hoping that it didn't realize he'd noticed it. Or that he was mistaken.<br/><br/>((EDIT: Changed the tense to past))</div>"

She couldn't swallow the opinion that fish belonged in the sea, and here stood not one - not two - but three. For a few long seconds her piercing gaze fell on Josh in his bucket; regarding him halfway between food and a piteous creature that she wasn't sure she wanted anything to do with. The real question wasn't about the bucket. The real question was why he chose the bucket over, say, the nearest river. But that saw no evident answer, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know. And so, about the time Kick showed up, Thassa turned to leave. She nips very sharply on the Chikorita's shoulder and leads him away. The message, unspoken, was clear nonetheless: <span class=""bb-b""><span class=""bb-i"">You're coming with me.</span></span> <br/><br/>Assuming he followed her, she would stop a few feet further down the road - and quietly, so that the others could not hear without deliberately listening in, she hissed. ""We're going back to Treasure Town. You will join my team. We'll find somebody else there who isn't insane or stupid."" And then she would move on, down the road to the ...east? She ignored the welted clouds looming ominously overhead; although she wasn't especially fond of the rain, she didn't like the idea of holing up in this unfamiliar town for an indeterminate span of time. She had no fur to ruin and in all honesty mud was easier to slide through, sometimes.<br/><br/>To a degree, though, the scent of water in the air triggered a certain awareness. The snake moved with her head a little lower to the ground; her eyes were a little more focused. She would frequently pause to taste the air as they left town, her tongue flickering. When she looked back at Favlev, to see that he was following her, she held his gaze for perhaps <span class=""bb-i"">too</span> long...<br/>But! They were on their way and honestly she kind of liked the little guy. He was... cute. So she slowed a little bit, making sure he caught up, and spoke quietly.

He winced a bit as Thassa's jaws closed around his shoulder and led him off. Though he was quite interested in the guild, he was aware that an Ekans could very easily be able to poison him if he upset it so he allowed Thassa to drag him off, waving nervously with his leaf to those he was leaving.<br/><br/>Once they were on their way and Thassa released him and explained, he tilted his head, ""We're not looking to save the fate of the world right off the bat are we?"" He asked with a small grin before stating, ""Also I know you don't really have hands, but your mouth makes me nervous...poison and all. We're heading back to Treasure Town though? Maybe you can show me that burrow you were talking about.""<br/><br/>He blinks as she looks back at him with a slightly telling glare, and backs away nervously about to suggest that maybe he should go back to Allure town and see what was going on at the guild now. He noticed she was slowing too and once he caught up with her he looked ahead, not wanting to meet her glare again, nervous as it made him. Then when she asked he turned to her, flopping his leaf to the side curiously and stating, ""Uh....yeah I did. You said you liked them so I went fishing before I headed to Allure."" He opened his little pouch he brought, it contained...mostly fish actually, only a few berries and a side pouch for the book.

This one was more of a tent, but it still looked like it would provide shelter from the rain.<br/><br/> As he went up to the guild entrance, he stepped on a grate in front of it. Almost as soon as he did so, he heard someone shouting down below. ""Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected!""<br/>""What the hell?"" Dexter said.<br/>""Whose footprint? Whose footprint? The footprint is Growlithe's! The footprint is Growlithe's!""<br/>The gate then opened, allowing him to enter. He ran inside, glad to finally be out of the rain.<br/><br/> What seemed to be a tiny little tent happened to be an underground headquarters of some sort. There was a lot of Pokemon in here. If Dexter had known it would be this crowded, he would've chosen a different building. He didn't feel like going back out into the rain, though, so he'd have to deal with it for now. After taking a moment to catch his breath, he tried to dry himself off a little by shaking some of the water out of his fur.

The serpent takes her time though, and she makes him wait, sliding up around the smaller creature and pressing her nose under his neck with a sanguine hiss. Because... <span class=""bb-i"">she appreciates the gesture</span>, she does, that a pokèmon whom she had earlier considered a potential meal was then willing to go out and find fish just for her. Could he even eat fish? ...Her head disappears into the bag; one fish and another, she swallows whole, but her feeding is not a swift process. She can't just... grab one and take bites out of it as she goes, after all. It was during this time that the rain would have started in earnest, while she leans against her rather unlikely companion. Favlev would, likely as not, feel each of the fishes as it slid down her neck. <br/><br/>Finally, knowing full well what an ordeal she was making of simple food, she hooked her teeth through a third fish and turned to unwind; she let Fava go and swallowed her last fish before she turned to the road ahead - and, briefly, her eyes to the sky.

He blinks and tucks himself up nervously at the comment that she was going to keep him around after all, ""Thanks?...umm, you weren't. I thought you said we were making a team.""<br/><br/>Falvev was much more comfortable with talking about the guild. ""Oh well first we have to get entry. Which is fairly simple. The guild in Treasure Town has a footprint sentry, which wow....must be not having the best time in the rain..."" He flicked his leaf about. Personally he liked the sun a bit better than the rain, being a grass-type, but the rain was not a bad thing for him either.<br/><br/>They arrived shortly after Dexter and Falvev peered into the grate before calling down, ""Hope you're doing okay down there with the rain and everything!""

He blinked and looked over at Thassa, ""Umm...you need to stand on here too or they won't let you in, Thassa."" He curled his leaf around her tail and started dragging her out of the puddle. He leds her to the grate, though with two pokemon on at once they are confused with how to react, so he moves off for her. Unfortunately Ekans' footprint is a bit nondistinct. That is to say Thassa didn't exactly have a footprint. The comment, ""Whose footprint!?"" Was called out....then silence as they tried to figure it out. They would have to decide between pokemon that had no footprint, as there were a few, and her other features would be hard to make out because of the rain. Eventually Falvev walked over and nudged her head down to the grate.<br/><br/>It would be very apparent that it was an Ekans then, and she would be cleared to enter. ""See, simple."" He stated before heading into the open guild ahead of her. Inside he shook off the rain from his leaf before descending the ladder inside. Which he did by leaping down the hole and tumbling. He figured that Thassa would have similar trouble descending so he kneeled at the bottom to catch her. Her body was soft enough, right?</div>"

Unfortunately, though, none of the Pokemon on the board seemed remotely familiar.<br/><br/> By now, he'd figured out that he was in the Treasure Town guild. From what he heard, this guild had a fierce rivalry with the guild in Allure. As much as he would love to work against the guild that threw him in prison, he was still on the fence about joining.

It wasn't until they arrived at the Guild that things started to get weird. She... went with it, deciding these queer city pokèmon had bizarre customs in the first place and it wasn't worth trying to understand; she even followed Favlev's directions and put her nose to the grate so that the bizarre figure down below could see. She flicked her tongue through the grate, curious, trying to catch a scent of a voice who she could not properly distinguish in the gloom. But... all she could taste was rain and mud and a confusing medley of aromas.<br/><br/>The serpent followed her companion rather nervously, already a little spooked by the process, and encountered her first ladder - and a deep hole down which Favlev would soon vanish! She peers down worriedly, naught but her dark purple snout and her glimmering red eyes visible when the chikorita looked up at her from the bottom of the hole. ""...That looked painful."" She says, furrowing her brow - and expressing something of a desire not to copy him. It took some exploration of the ladder - she'd never seen one after all - but eventually Thassa is able to negotiate her way down the rungs as though it were a tree. She descends, twisting her neck around the first step and looping in and out of the bars...<br/><br/>Gingerly, she joins Favlev at the bottom and offers him a rather weak and nervous smile. Though she was admittedly more comfortable underground, she'd never been anywhere quite like this. Was it a cavern? ...It was so much bigger than her own burrow; and beyond, there were vibrations coming through the earth and... a riot of scents, tastes in the air... more pokemon, more KINDS of pokemon, than she'd ever seen in one place before. It was somewhat intimidating, really...</div>"

My body's weight is pretty well made for riding too, and thus I can distribute my weight pretty well for falls when I need to. By the way, I was down here to catch you you know."" He turns to the large cast of pokemon in the guild and calls out, ""We would like to speak to the guildmaster to start a team!""<br/><br/>His voice, though loud, seemed to be drowned out by the other pokemon there, there were a lot of them. Though he seemed to notice that they were all staring at the Growlithe that had just sprinkled them all with rainwater. It only took a glance to tell the growlithe was a recent arrival like them, his coat was speckled with water drops still and muddied from the rain. OR he could very easily be the footprint sentries, after all they only had a grate protecting them from the rain, but that seemed a bit unlikely.<br/><br/>Whatever the case was, Falvev didn't really appreciate everyone giving them annoyed looks like that so he clicked his teeth to signal to Thassa and headed towards Dexter, offering his leaf to the growlithe to help clean off the water.

He slithered past Eralion and I, who were ready make the bookcases fall as per the plan. I was on the eastern wall, and as soon as Tini passed time seemed to slow down for me as I awaited my exact cue, which, in this case was simple enough, wait for my father to pass by. As soon as that happened, I pushed the bookcase, making it fall on top of him. He was immobilized. Angry, and struggling to get out from under at least one bookcase, however, he couldn't attack, he couldn't move, at least for now. ""I... we... did it! I can't believe it, I thought he was invincible, and yet, here he is, my father, Artemis the murderer, trapped, and helpless,"" I think out loud. This moment right here has given me hope that he can, like any other pokemon, be defeated. I then hear him shout ""RELEASE ME AT ONCE OR I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"" as if he had some sort of power over any of us, and that was thankfully no longer true with me. I then turn towards Tini, and say ""Thank you... you have no idea how much you've done for me right here, and right now,"" I then turn back towards my father, and say to him ""And if you think you can scare me anymore, threaten ME anymore, well, who's the one who got the other stuck under a bookcase?"" he, as predicted, hissed, and continued to struggle to get out of his predicament. It didn't work, and honestly, I felt relieved, as if a giant weight has been lifted. I... didn't feel quite as afraid of my father as I used to, just because of this moment, this little bit of hope, and maybe, just maybe, I can get strong enough to defeat, and arrest my father once and for all for what he's done.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I simply stayed on Kamina's head, and noticed an odd marshtomp who was running towards us. ""Hey, do you want to follow us?"" I ask him, just sort of out of habit. I then add ""As long as you're not as much of a jerk as that Spruce guy, you can come,"" Spruce didn't seem to like that very much, but I was just surprised he heard it at all, considering the fact that he shouldn't even have ears. The chikorita and the ekans both left after Spruce explained why Josh was bound to the bucket, leaving me to just sit on top of Kamina's head like a bump on a log. The weather changed from sunny to rainy as we stayed here, well, okay, we DID eventually start moving, but it just seems like we were coming across obstacle after obstacle stopping us in our tracks. This was going to be a long journey to the area that was described to me in the psychic message, and it wouldn't get any shorter if we kept stopping like this. ""So, are we going to keep going?"" I ask the group, with Spruce replying by just heading forwards, past Kamina and I for a bit, though, he looked annoyed, for some reason.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>I continued to chase the mystery pokemon who had one of the papers, and Levita just started staring off into space for some reason. I eventually catch up to the perpetrator, and use flash tackle on him, and, with that being a light move, it lit up the area, revealing him as a nidoran... and an explorer. ""GAH!"" he exclaimed, later adding ""Get away you wild pokemon, this paper's a part of the mission,"" I stammer for a moment, and eventually add ""We're on the same mission, and we already have two of them, so... give us the paper,"" the nidoran didn't want to cooperate, and added ""We have two of them, and WE need the rest, so... give us YOUR paper!"" that seemed to be the rest of his team's cue, as an aron, a shroomish, and an abra then appear, and look at me angrily. I think about the situation for a bit, and, while it seemed like the opposite team was already ready to fight, I said ""Wait, we don't have to fight, we're just trying to help the same guy. Can't we just help the guy?"" They didn't listen to me, unfortunately, and the nidoran used a move similar to my own flash tackle, however, it was a more shadowy version, as he cloaked himself in a shadowy aura before tackling me. It didn't hurt much, but it did make me drop my 'Desia' badge, which I was trying to hold onto as a memento from the time before I became an explorer. The nidoran looked at the badge, and said ""Desia...?"" he then asked ""What do you know about Desia!?"" I shook my head, and said ""Nothing, I just found that badge lying on the ground, somewhere... is she a famous explorer, or something?"" the nidoran looked back at his team, and said ""Obviously, she's lying, and we're dealing with another of Desia's minions. NO MERCY!"" That last bit shocked me, and, just as well, I end up taking a headbutt from the aron, and a hidden power from the abra. I don't know why they were focusing on me, other than the fact that they think I work for this 'Desia' lady, who I still had no idea about.</div>"

That idea of the bookcases... it worked perfectly... It was surprising that it actually worked.<br/>""If only we could add some weight to this..."" he then says, before looking around. They didn't really have time to add anything right now...<br/>""Lets just go!"" he says, before getting ready to move quickly.

""The sight is... not for the faint of heart, to say the least."" I grabbed the bag of quick seeds and handed them to Bonnie before walking down the stairs and taking another glance at the basement door. I rub my chin for a moment.

I hadn’t really trained with my powers all that much, so trying to track him or her that way isn’t going to work. Just when I resort to trying to think of a way to maybe burn down all the tall grass without burning the papers, I see a flash of light from where Nina ran off to before… Could she be…? Probably not; I mean, that was already gone by Part Four. Hearing the sounds of battle, I teleport to where I saw it coming from, falling to the ground. My legs feel a little wobbly, but I’m not going to admit that at the moment. I try to tell what’s going on until the other pokemon start ganging up on Nina and trying to beat her into submission.<br/><br/>	“Hey!” I say to the other team indignantly. “I don’t really know what this whole “Desia” thing is all about, and it’s probably super-important, but that's not what's important to <span class=""bb-i"">me</span> right now. What’s important to me right now is that you’re hurting my friend with the characteristic zeal of someone who has no idea what they’re talking about!” Since Chip seems to have the Aron and the Abra covered, I use Confusion on the Shroomish, picking him up and throwing him at the enemy Nidoran, ending in a collision that they found more surprising than confusing. Normally, I wouldn’t try and escalate things this quickly, but I think this is the kind of situation where you just have to beat the crap out of them and hope that they’ll be more open to suggestion once they’re barely conscious. It actually makes a lot of sense, now that I think about it.<br/></div>"

""...I do not need catching; I have no need for feet. ...I do not like it down here, though; there are too many pokemon."" She draws herself back now, lifting her head so that she can see - and so that she doesn't seem like she's trying to hide, even though she stays behind Favlev for the moment. ""I can taste each and every one of them and I have an unpleasant suspicion that there is a grimer nearby.""

He then explained everything about what he's seen in the basement, including our now-rescued captive bidoof, but, from the sound of things, there was more than one pokemon being held in the basement. ""Well, we can't just leave them there to rot, can we? They're probably just as important to their families as the bidoof was... and I'd rather not leave any more victims for my father,"" I say with an unusually high amount of confidence. I ran down into the dark basement, and somehow keep my head clear, already knowing just from the stench alone that there were dead pokemon down here, as well as rotten food. Of course, I couldn't see a single thing, but I could hear someone off in some other room shouting something about this and that, about how he let a lampent get away with the bidoof he captured, or something. I wasn't about to let that pokemon, probably the gallade that William told me about, do whatever it was he did around here, but... it would be stupid to do this alone, so I shout back at my team ""Hey, are we doing this, or what?

""Look, let me explain-"" I start to say, only to get cut off by the aron, given that the other nidoran was currently asleep ""SAVE your words, minion, they'll do you no good against us!"" it seemed as though the aron's head was about as thick as the rest of his team's... but who was this 'Desia', and why was she so important? What could she have possibly done to provoke such feelings of anger in these random explorers? The aron then headbutted me, breaking my thought process, and making me flinch, which the rhydon saw as an opportunity to use tackle on me. I was already nearly finished, and this was only round two. ""Agh... why'd they... have to focus on me?"" I ask the rest of the team, who could probably guess just from my speech patterns that I was having trouble breathing. I dug around in my bag, searching for an oran berry, however, I couldn't find a single one... I was certain that it was in there, I just couldn't find it due to panic. The abra tried another hidden power ((Fire, but it's in the rain)), this time on Chip, thankfully. The shroomish then used leech seed, aiming for Rebecca, and, he seemed to smile as he did so, as if he enjoyed the thought of draining her life. <span class=""bb-i"">Come on...

""AHA! We've got you now! Team Zan is going to destroy you, and we're going to take EVERYTHING you've got!"" I facepalm right then and there, and ask ""So, you couldn't take four of us down, but you think you can take down..."" I then count everyone else who's here, including the silent murkrow, and the hitmonlee who suddenly seems to have calmed down continuing with ""...nine of us? Do you three have any brains left, or did we accidentally beat that out of you the last time you challenged us?"" they then start talking amongst themselves, and the koffing shouts ""Yeah! This time we've got a... er... what'd you call it boss?"" the sneasel then answers ""An ace up our sleeve,"" the koffing then asks ""What's that mean?"" of course, I didn't waste any more time on their speech, and just vine whip the sneasel, which seemed to hurt him quite a bit... however... either my eyes were playing tricks on me, or there was a second sneasel for a moment.

Well, okay, the walk WAS silent, until a group of thugs appeared out of nowhere, called themselves 'Team Zan', and stupidly challenged us, even though we outnumbered them three to one. ""Well, I guess something could be said about their bravery..."" I mumble to myself as I watch Spruce try to attack the sneasel who was in the middle of it all. A second sneasel appeared from behind the first one, and quickly darted behind Spruce to attack him with Ice Shard... as well as some confusion, I'm guessing, as Spruce couldn't make heads or tails of it all. I jumped off of Kamina and onto the zubat, weighing it down enough for it to drop, and, after I get off, I look squarely at the sneasel, and challenge ""Come on, attack me, go for it, I'm weak, and I'm slow, what are you waiting for?"" he... didn't seem to take the bait, however, I still prepared to counter attack. The zubat then used wing attack on me, which I countered immediately afterwards, commenting ""Well, this wasn't exactly the attack I was hoping for, but I'll take it!"" oddly enough, the same thing happened to me that happened to Spruce... after I attacked, I got attacked from behind... by another zubat.

There must be reason for how they were able to do that. No matter... She then made rush at the sneasle, and was about to use draining kiss at it.... only to feel strange. She looked up in the sky before having energy gather up around her. A bright orb started to form. Suddenly she used moon blast on the sneasle, doing heavy damage to it.

There wasn't much to talk about, though I was slightly annoyed at the sudden growth of the size of our group. If there was a small reward, it would probably cause serious division within our group. Though, Anthony didn't say whether there was a reward with this at all; let alone if we could verify the fact we were trying to save someone. I still felt somewhat distrustful of him, even though I had no actual reason to do so. Then again, I've never felt secure since having to confront Davis, and then the... well, events after and before that. All within 3 days. That's a lot for someone who's barely gone outside to take in. So much so that I almost slept-walk all the way throughout the journey.<br/><br/>Sure enough, while on the rocky path towards the mountain, we were suddenly stopped by a blockade. Well, by that, I mean some Pokemon were the literal blockade. ""Oh come on, I wanted a holiday trip to the mountain."" I blathered out, still half-asleep before coming to my senses. ""Never-mind that, we've got company. You guys all know those try-hards, yes?"" Yes I was shocked at the fact they were willing to challenge us again, I just decided against either laughing at their insanity or feeling depressed at earlier memories: I was more willing to break another skull, this time with thunder.<br/><br/>I DID notice the fact there were... clones, duplicates, doppelgangers, whatever you want to call them. We all knew two of those guys was trouble, and something definitely needed to be done about that. In true Celes overpower x10 fashion, she had summoned some giant orbital laser from the moon. Well, as if said super-weapons still exist; it was probably just Celes being herself. Spruce took a bad cut in the back while Anthony just kinda squashed someone. Everyone else was waiting for their turn - to avoid cross-fire, of course.<br/><br/>As for me, I didn't know who to really target. That Zubat who was harassing Anthony definitely needed to be put down for now, and if it can survive a beating it can survive this; spinning my magnets, I went up to the Zubat (with an obvious dent and bandage on its head) in mid-air with both magnets pointed at it, poking its wing to get his attention. ""IF ARCEUS WANTED YOU TO LIVE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE CREATED ME!"" Sure enough, what followed afterwards was forcing the Zubat to the ground in convulsions. That was one down, five more to go.<br/><br/>What I didn't notice with Celes' orbital strike was feeling burnt afterwards. I thought I was just extremely intolerable to the sun until I realised some bright orb appeared out of nowhere, apparently used to... well, I couldn't tell. I felt like I was on fire after all, at least until that thing broke apart on its own accord. When I went back to face the Zubat, he was ready to exact revenge on me. I he looked both pissed and scared, something which was reflected by me.</div>"

At certain times, a copy of one of them would appear. Also, they seemed to be getting back up as soon as they were knocked out.<br/>""I suspect that Zorua trickery may be at work here."" Matt said. ""They may have reviver seeds, as well."" His explanation seemed likely, but at the moment, there was no way to really tell if he was right or not.<br/><br/> Out of nowhere, a Beldum appeared and began attacking Team Zan. Apparently, he had joined the Scarabs, but Josh had never seen him before.<br/>""Do you know this guy, Anthony?"" Josh asked, thinking that Anthony may have recruited him at some point while they were all at the guild. He seemed to be on their side, so Josh didn't mind if he joined them.<br/><br/> As Matt began putting up Reflect, Josh turned his focus back to Team Zan. He knew that they would just get right back up if he knocked one of them out, but it couldn't hurt to try. He knocked out the Koffing with Confusion, only to have him get back up, like he expected.

I felt Rebecca use Confusion on the shroomish, and he was lucky that he was still awake after that barrage of attacks. After I sensed that that I heard a fire type move come at me and I screamed, but it didn't instantly fry me into a crisp or burn me because it was raining, and I turned towards Nina, sensing she was looking for something, and I run over and help her, climbing halfway into the bag and smelling everything.

I ask Bonnie as we head downstairs. I let Eralion plot out whatever he needed to plot out to keep the vile criminal under that bookshelf and to keep him in, and I took out the bag of quick seeds.

Not only that, but a random pokemon just decided to barge into our fight, a beldum, to be more precise. I honestly didn't mind, as it seemed to be attacking the enemy, and heck, even declared that it wanted to join up with one of our teams. Not mine, the other one, Team Bee, or whatever. I notice the bright light that appears whenever one of them gets knocked out, and decide that they might be using that to hide something. I attack the koffing with a void whip, focusing on hitting a weak spot. I manage to find and hit said weak spot, and then shield my eyes as the bright light fills the area once more, and for some reason, a wall of intense heat accompanied it this time, which obviously hurt quite a bit. Due to me shielding my eyes, I could just barely make out another shape trying to pull the koffing backwards. I attack whatever it was, and the light dies down to reveal it as another koffing, oddly identical to the original, or, whichever one I actually attacked. ""Uh... Uh-oh! The jig's up, boss!"" the koffing shouts back to... somewhere. ""Fine, then, since they already know about our little plan, let's see if they can take on ALL OF US!"" after that, many more koffing, sneasel, and zubat appear from the forest, flooding the area, as there was a total of ten of each. ""Uh..."" was all I could manage, as I finally remember that they each have a type advantage (and the zubat have two) against me. I take a few steps back, and look at the horrible situation that I accidentally caused. Each and every one of them seemed to look at me with sheer malice.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I do my best impression of someone shaking their head, and respond with ""I dunno. I mean, apparently I knew that kadabra back there on Mt. Bristle,"" I then focus my attention on the battle again, where the zubat smiled at me as if he had a plan. I prepared to counter whatever he could throw at me, but I certainly wasn't expecting what came next. He somehow created a wall of fire and heat, which covered our half of the battlefield, conveniently missing his own teammates. It didn't do much to me, and, most likely Josh, but I worried for the sake of our newest teammate, as well as that magnemite... oh, and that Spruce guy, too, I guess. I couldn't counter it, however, and just as I was trying to attack, that bright light filled the area again. Spruce revealed a second koffing, who shouted back at his invisible boss, and made the situation literally ten times worse. Spruce seemed to be at a loss for words, and all I could say was ""How...? When...? WHY!?"" the look on Spruce's face was, honestly, priceless, as he looked as though he finally figured out that he really shouldn't have any business fighting ice, poison, and flying types, as if this concept just dawned on him now. I resisted the urge to laugh as there was something much more important to deal with, the multitude of enemies that practically appeared out of nowhere. <span class=""bb-i"">There's no way someone as weak as they are have this many teammates. There HAS to be something else at work here, or, someONE else.</span> I think as I check the nearest enemy, a zubat, who seemed particularly mad at our magnemite friend. Said zubat, like all the others, had a giant bandage on his head, however, something was off... this one's head was dented, as if he had suffered some serious blunt trauma recently. The others had the bandage, as if they were trying to keep up the illusion, but only one of them had a disfigured head, at least, the only one I could see that had a disfigured head.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Eralion was talking about setting up traps, and I nodded, saying ""Yeah, you should go deal with that,"" I then hear William saying something about them possibly not being able to walk, and I think about it for a moment, until coming up with ""Then why don't we just teleport them? I'm sure they wouldn't care if they lost items, they most likely don't have any, and honestly, wherever the badge sends them, it's going to be safer than here. We'll each take some of the quick seeds from that bag, and run from captive to captive, freeing as many as possible... and then use one extra quick seed to run the heck away from this place. Sound good?"" I don't know where I got this sudden surge of courage, but I was not about to waste it. I walked up to William as he froze up from seeing the enemy, in this case, that gallade from before beating up one of the captives. Oddly, I was in such a state that I simply saw him as an obstacle, and figured I had a way to pass by him, mainly through the use of this bag of quick seeds. I take about four, and eat one right away. Unfortunately, quick seeds were notoriously crunchy, so the gallade noticed the sound and started running towards me. I ran into the room, and turned to my left, towards one of the captives, as if I was ignoring the gallade, who thankfully couldn't attack me at this range, and, after just a bit more running, I use my badge to teleport the captive, in this case, an aggron, away from this horrible place. I then started to run towards yet another one, but, one of my friends was more likely to get to them before I could.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>Rebecca, after taking the leech seed was too unfocused to help me find my oran berry, however, Chip, after attacking and nearly knocking out the shroomish, finds it for me. ""Thanks, Chip,"" I say to him as I eagerly eat the berry, which cleared up my vision a bit, and, obviously, healed me enough to keep me going. I breathe a sigh of relief, and look squarely at the aron, who looked at me with a smug look on his face, as if I didn't have any attacks that could possibly hurt him. I smirk back at him, and probably surprise him with a double kick, kicking the iron-clad creature twice in his face, and sending him back a couple feet. It also seemed to hurt him quite a bit, as he looked a little dazed when I looked back at him, and he started digging around in a bag very similar to my own, though, much like I was, earlier, he didn't seem to have any luck at all with the bag. The abra seemed content to go after me by somehow electrocuting his hand, and punching me in the exact spot where I kicked their aron friend, as if he was trying to mirror the damage done to his friend. It didn't work very well, however, as the abra didn't seem to have very strong arms, and, well, he kinda hit me right on the poisonous spike, the idiot. The rhyhorn decided to focus on Chip with a tackle, and not much else... did that rhyhorn even know any other moves? It should know SOMETHING else, right? Maybe that rhyhorn just liked tackling things for some reason. The shroomish, hilariously tried to use absorb on Rebecca, however, before he could even do so, he just sort of toppled over, apparently from the poison. Through the commotion, the other nidoran continued to snooze, somehow.</div>"

He rushed one of the Sneasels and knocked it down, only to he attacked by another from behind using Feint Attack. That one hurt quite a bit. He turned around and glared at the new Sneasel as he swiped at it with a Metal Claw. He was getting absolutely swarmed as he dashed around attacking with Bullet Punch and Metal Claw.

It was now really hard to even walk in it quickly unless you wanted to sprang your ankle. He then looked in his bag and got some string. He started to attach multiple objects that were heavy in each side and then placing them over the holed floor. If that persian were to pass here, he would have a hard time even getting through easy, having multiple objects tangled over him.

This was <span class=""bb-i"">not</span> good, since it would be far too easy for the little guy to get caught up in a chain of super effective attacks. Therefor, there was only one option available to Kamina. He rushed at Spruce and coiled around him, making sure to leave him some breathing room. Kamina wasn't constricting around him, so much as making an igloo around him out of his body. Since Spruce was so tiny compared to him, that meant that Kamina didn't have to use all of his body to make a shelter.

Surprisingly enough, we were in a bit of a stalemate against these guys. We could keep up the pressure, but they'd just recover as if they just arrived here.

There was definitely a new guy on our team, and they... well, let my next paragraph perfectly sum up my reaction.<br/><br/>""Well, good game boys."" I didn't really know who I was praising, let alone if I was praising anything at all. I squinted my eyes for a bit, shocked and confused as to why there was suddenly duplicates everywhere.

Kamina then coiled around my general area, and due to our comparative sizes, it actually worked, and not only that, but it worked well. All of the sneasel tried to use Ice Shard on me and oddly enough, one of them used pursuit instead, only to fail and hit Kamina, instead, the koffing came next, and they seemed to be trying to spread their poisons by using Poison Gas on as many of us as they could... oddly enough, some of the gas actually found its way to me, but I didn't get poisoned, or even would have noticed it if it wasn't visible, this ended with the swarm of zubat splitting up and trying to use Supersonic on everyone, well, everyone except M, who they were afraid of, and at this point, I didn't blame them. He must have malfunctioned somewhere in this fight as he was angrily narrating everything that he was doing... as well as making threats, and telling the rest of the team to move out of the way. His entire body was covered in arcing lightning, and there was some sort of darkness forming around him as well thanks to the dark scar that Desia left on him. I did exactly that, jumping over Kamina and running away from the opposing team until I felt I was a safe enough distance from whatever M was planning to do with them, and with Kamina who I assumed was completely on board for this, as it seemed to be right up the alley, and was spoken in his language, shouting. I could only imagine what M might be up to, but it probably has something to do with soaking them and then electrifying them.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Tini tried to pull me back, but I was too quick for him, and William decided to start helping by changing into a joltik, and running around the place, luring the gallade away from me, and away from the other prisoners. ""Thanks, William!"" I shout back at him. I then turn back towards Tini, and ask ""Tini, would you mind helping me with this? Use your badge to teleport as many of these prisoners back to the guild... here, this will help,"" I then throw Tini a quick seed, and run off to teleport more of the victims, managing to teleport two of them back before I wonder where Eralion ran off to. The gallade was still completely distracted by William, who really took a huge risk doing what he did, and I noticed an odd trend in my father's victims... they were all big, and tough. A salamence, a rhydon, an aggron... and yet, the bidoof from our mission was, at one point, here. Maybe it was just because he intruded on my father's property, or because he knew something. Something that could potentially put my father away for life. Of course, given the circumstances, and what I've witnessed in the basement, it was more than likely that it was both. The bidoof 'broke into' my father's house, and stumbled upon either a literal or metaphorical skeleton in the closet, and got caught by my father, who wasn't hungry, thank goodness for that, and wanted another long-term victim, much like I was. Yes... was, there's no way I'm staying here, even if I get caught, even if I end up in that jail cell, I WILL break out again, and this time, it won't take a year, it'll be instant.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>The abra was the next to fall from Chip, and he said something about the other nidoran being ready to drop, however, I already knew my target, the aron who was still trying to find an oran berry in desperation. The rhyhorn who was trying to tackle Chip seemingly changed its course at the last second, resulting in a miss. The thing looked at me with a look of either stupidity or confusion, and started charging in some random direction, running into a tree, and a couple rocks that were behind the tree due to his sudden confusion. I then finished off the aron with a double kick, which flung it into yet another tree this time, and look towards the sleeping nidoran, who finally decided to wake up, only to notice most of his team gone. ""H-how!? When!? J-just who do you think you are to destroy most of my team while I take a nice, long nap, huh!?"" angry at us, the nidoran tried another one of his shadow-tackle things on Rebecca, and normally, I would have taken the hit for her, but I was too far away to do that... well, that and I just took a tackle from the rhyhorn who shouted random words without building a coherent sentence ""ORAN BERRY YELLOW GUMDROP PLUM!"" I had... NO idea what he meant from that sentence, if you can call it that, other than he was probably hungry, or had a very poor grasp on language... well, then again, he was confused at this point, so that probably contributed to it. Of course, his tackles still hurt, and I was flung two feet further away from Rebecca, and was now on my side trying to make sense of why he'd put those five words in that exact order, or even say them without other words to tell everyone what he's thinking.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Once Josh used confusion on the zubat with the dented head, TWO of them seemed to take damage, with one of them almost flickering out of, and then back into existence. <span class=""bb-i"">What in the world...?

I tried to move away from the enemies as fast as I could, which wasn't all that fast, mainly due to the fact that the enemy got the chance to attack me, as well as... what the heck was Kamina doing? Either way, I took a supersonic and had no idea which way was which. It seemed as though everything was scrambled, not just my vision, but my hearing, sense of smell, and sense of touch, as well. ""Who  on turned crazy the?"" I end up saying, even my speech scrambled due to the horrible attack. Whatever M was planning... it was probably going to hit me, as well. I wasn't sure if I was going to live through it, either, and yet, I couldn't even string together the proper sentence explaining that I was in trouble. I tried, once, but it ended up as ""Grass help bug need door now,"" yes, even my speech was scrambled and encoded in some weird way. I honestly don't know if anyone was trying to crack the code, but I knew it would take them a while... too long, of course, to be of assistance. I still had some rational thought left, so I decided against attacking, and simply tried my best to move away from the enemy... of course, with the way everything was, even I knew that I was heading in some random direction, or worse, was moving towards the giant attack instead.</div>"

If he’s so close to fainting, then I should at least try and take him out in the best way… the <span class=""bb-i"">stylish</span> way… I take note of the fact that I’d managed to confuse the rhyhorn earlier and stifle a laugh as I return my attention to the Nidoran: If he’s too confused to aim an attack or even form coherent sentences, then he won’t notice any set-ups I’m, well, setting up. I move so I’m standing between the rhyhorn and the enemy Nidoran watch as the latter of the two stirs and rises to his feet.<br/><br/>	“If I were you,” I say to him with a cocky smile. “I’d stop right there, and either give up, or go straight back to that nice nap of yours.

I turn sideways and point at him, cocking my head back as I do for maximum smugness.<br/><br/>	“Dreamland!” I answer, successfully fighting the urge to laugh. The Nidoran charges towards me, falling straight into my trap. Nina flies past me, and the other Nidoran cloaks himself in some creepy shadow effect, but I fight the distractions, remaining focused on waiting for the last possible moment. <span class=""bb-i"">Right… about…. NOW!</span> I focus on the spot behind him, and teleport to it, completely evading the attack. Thankfully, I dodged while he was about to hit me, and therefore at his fastest, so he’s still going forwards. Reacting before he can slow down, I use Confusion once again, using both my power and his own to send him careening straight into the rhyhorn.<br/><br/>	“Like I said,” I tell the Nidoran, “You should have gone back to sleep. I guess knocking you out isn’t <span class=""bb-i"">exactly</span> the same thing, but I guess that’s what you get for disregarding a psychic’s advice and having evil buddies like that shroomish over there.” The Nidoran quickly faints, and whatever that shadowy attack was seemed to be effective enough on the rhyhorn to knock it out to. I adjust my scarf and chuckle a little, guessing I can be pretty good when I can actually focus. I’m not sure if I can keep up the psychic powers for much longer, though.</div>"

I just knew that something really bad happened.<br/><br/>If I can recall details... well, I was screaming wildly, and I proved myself resilient to a screeching that affected everyone else. Everything was going to hell quickly, and I knew we were losing this battle badly. Only five days into this adventure, and we didn't even go down fighting. It wasn't against Desia or some otherworldly evil. It was just against a bunch of thugs. I supposed they deserved it, but clearly not like this.<br/><br/>I remember myself facing the world, two magnets spinning in front of me faster than a propeller of a plane. A small gust around me had formed, followed by a darkening of the battlefield. Yes, somehow the battlefield actually started to get darker. Lightning that sounded like cracked wailing rang in my ears, and presumably was real considering that my team mates were running. ""This is my world. You are not welcome in my world!"" The only one insane enough to stick by me and follow up my previous instructions was Kamina. He just stood his ground, before drenching everything and everyone with a torrent of water from his mouth. I expected it to hurt, but no; presumably it wasn't a move or anything.<br/><br/>I had... dark thoughts. Well, more like murderous thoughts that didn't sound like me. But, the more I think about it... again, that's why I don't want to think. Really. I imagined death, pain, fire... all at once. I literally created hell in my head. With that in mind, I quickly followed up Kamina's use of water. Everyone was now surprised, their faces turning to horror when a small spark of electricity forced all of Team Zan to twitch.<br/><br/>""Sorry lads. This one's for me."" I cast lightning from my magnets, spinning so hard that my 'joints' would continue aching for hours.

None of the zubats were still conscious, making the original group of thirty shrink down to a more manageable eleven. The zorua, still scared about officially being out in the open screamed, and said ""NooOOO! They figured out our ruse! What should we do, Sean?"" The sneasel, all five of them, argued for a moment before finally saying ""Zoe, you're too inexperienced for this, you'll die horribly.

I ask them. They simply shrugged, apparently not having any answers, themselves, but I did notice something... they're weak, or, rather, they're about to topple over from the pain. With this knowledge, I run up to one of the sneasel, and vine whip him, and yes, this was enough to get him to faint. I then wondered if this would even be enough to knock out the koffing on their team. I then notice Anthony use bubble on one of the sneasel, and speak in that weird, garbled confusion speech. I managed to hold in my laughter, as he was probably in a lot of pain just from M's attack.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I still couldn't make heads or tails of anything, however, apparently I didn't run far enough away from the enemy to not get hurt, as the next couple of things I felt were a refreshing rain... and then a sharp, electrical jolt of pure pain. This electrical attack was apparently enough to destroy more than half of our enemies, as by the time I could even remotely find my bearings again, there were significantly fewer conscious pokemon, and some of them were just flat-out gone somehow. Yet another pokemon decided to run away, and I tried giving chase to that pokemon, only for me to run in a giant circle instead. I turn to face... something, and then use bubble on it, saying ""Dark blurb forget here am is me am!?"" not even I had an idea of what that was supposed to mean, but my target fell to the ground after that. Thinking I was victorious, I turn around again, and, without any idea of where I'm facing, I shout ""Winner dark lightning thing turnip basket!"" of course, this only got laughs from whomever I was facing at the time, making me mad at them. I then dug around in my bag, and, feeling a berry of some sort, I tossed it into my mouth. Whatever I got just seemed to make that injury from M's attack go away... maybe it was an oran berry? Either way, that allowed me to take a sludge attack from exactly the pokemon I was facing at the moment, and unfortunately, I still couldn't tell whether that was an angry teammate, or one of the enemies... given that Josh could probably learn sludge at some point, right?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Everything seemed to be going according to plan, or, at the very least, we weren't getting attacked by anything, and that gallade was still chasing around William who is still in the form of a joltick.

He didn't say a word, apparently just to make sure that nobody gets in the way, but I saw him, and I used my speed to tackle Eralion out of the way of the attack just in time... to take the attack, myself. Oddly, it didn't even hurt a bit, which was really weird, considering the source. ""...huh? Hey, why didn't that hurt?"" I ask Eralion and whoever else was listening. By all logic, I should be on the ground, barely alive, possibly gasping for breath, and begging Eralion and the rest of my team to go on without me, and yet, I was unharmed by the attack, somehow. This caused the gallade to take a step back... and then start running right at me, as if he was trying to use close combat on me. Thankfully, I still had a few quick seeds left, and, after taking one (as the last one ran out the moment I took the psycho-cut), I started to make a beeline right for the entrance, I suppose, acting as yet another distraction for the gallade, at least for the moment. I rushed past the dead pokemon, and right upstairs, where my father apparently found his way to a pitfall, and couldn't really move at the moment... unfortunately, Eralion's traps made this place a little difficult to traverse, and that gallade was approaching fast.

I tried to tell you that I didn't even know who Desia was, and you just couldn't listen, could you?"" a groan from the nidoran meant that he probably heard it, and, soon enough, Chip had us all teleport back to the guild, with all of the papers in hand. A drifblim accepted the papers, and shuffled them into what was probably the correct order. The drifblim had a few strange-looking badges covering him, as if he was in some sort of military or something. Of course, one of those hasn't existed in a long time... and that was during a time in which castles, dukes, lords, and kings existed. ""Very, very good young ones, now, here's that reward that... hey, what was supposed to be the reward again?"" I shrugged, not even remembering if the mission offered a reward, but he simply laughed, and handed us one hundred and fifty pokedollars each. He then said ""There you go, buy some nice food or something with that... and with that, I'm off!"" the drifblim then floated away... and kind of reminded me that, for some reason, Levita wasn't with us, and she didn't participate in that giant fight from earlier.

Sometimes I wonder if you have some sort of death wish... you know you're not going to win, ever, so why even bother at this point?"" after that, the odd murkrow that I didn't notice before dive-bombed into one of the sneasel with some sort of shadowy move, knocking him out.

They were going to do one of two things, fight harder, or run away... unfortunately, they went with the former, and all three of them used ice shard on Anthony, who... responded to that attack just about as well as you'd expect a confused pokemon to... by saying gibberish, in this case, specifically ""Doorknob not fire hazard light ball!

It didn't do much good, though, as, after some talking about how the enemy's just about done for, and Daniel coming out of nowhere to attack one of the enemies, I assume, I mean, for all I knew, he was confused just like I am now, I was attacked by a trio of icy cold attacks, and I tried to retaliate with an absorb at one of them, though, I think I might have hit one of my own teammates, as I aimed for the shiniest thing I saw, which was, in retrospect, probably Josh's bucket rather than a sneasel. I shouted ""Doorknob not fire hazard light ball! PALMTREE!"" though, I don't exactly WHY I said any of that, or even WHAT it meant, I just said it... as I felt the need to say something in this situation, this confusing situation. I tried to move off of whoever picked me up, but that didn't work because when I looked down from wherever I was, all I saw was a giant, possibly endless chasm, which scared me a little more than it should of, so, I stayed put, and continued muttering gibberish as if I was trying to communicate to someone using coded words that actually mean something else... of course, given my condition, and the fact that I didn't even know what I was saying, that was highly unlikely. The few moments I could see straight, I noticed that Matt was moving around in a random fashion, and was speaking in the same way I was... maybe he was confused, too?

I was nearly in tears again, this time for overcoming my fear of this old place, as I saw the badge's indicator change from red to green, meaning that we were far enough from danger to teleport back safely, with all of our items and everything. I quickly press the button, and warp not only myself, but my entire team back to the guild, where the bidoof was standing next to the mission board. ""Golly... you guys saved my life! I wish I had some sort of reward for ya, but that evil pokemon took it all... as in, everything I had. I'm sorry, but I can't give ya anything for what you've done,"" the bidoof says to us, saddened by the fact that he can't reward us at all. I manage to say ""That's... fine... I guess. Considering what was happening in there, I could count simply saving all of you, and breaking up whatever scheme that pokemon was plotting a reward... sure... that'll pay for breakfast..."" once he was gone, however, I turn back to my teammates, and add ""You guys... just... you don't know how much that meant to me... all of that, as in, that entire exploration, er, rescue, I guess made me finally see for myself that the monster in my nightmares isn't invincible, he can be hurt, and possibly even destroyed... and... well... no, I shouldn't say anything, though, I think Eralion already knows,"" I then notice a ringing sound from a lower floor, and pass by a trio of pokemon consisting of a chikorita, an ekans, and a growlithe who seemed new, as they were talking to Charlie... who almost nobody did unless they were new. <br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>At first, I thought Rebecca was keeping tabs on Levita, which would explain why she fell so far behind Chip and I when I was attacked, but, now I'm just assuming she couldn't find me in the rain until I flash tackled the other nidoran. The fact that she even said she had no idea where Levita was made me assume exactly that... and then Rebecca said something about getting something to eat, which reminded me... I was hungry! I didn't have a bite to eat, other than that oran berry, all day. I rushed past her, and an oddly quiet Chip, and found a place to sit at the table, this time. Shortly afterwards, an odd group consisting of a snivy wearing a torn top hat, a mudkip who had a half of a bowtie, and a bulbasaur who had a broken monocle entered the room... and probably added to their on-body collection of splinters. They looked angry, and beat-up... heck, they'd even look beat up if you removed the splinters, which would have taken forever, as I could barely tell which pokemon they were under all of them. They walked up to me, in particular, and shouted ""This seat, as well as the ones next to it belong to..."" they then take a few seconds to get into some ridiculous formation, and after that continue with ""TEAM AWESOME!"" I simply laugh, and comment with ""Okay, okay... so, tell me, what, exactly makes you 'awesome', let alone gives you the right to push pokemon out of their seat?"" I emphasized the word awesome in a sarcastic manner, as naming your team 'awesome' was just plain stupid. I then waited for their response, and they just stood there, with an expression that gradually changed from anger to sadness as apparently they couldn't give an answer for a while, but they eventually came up with one in ""We've finished a 5-star mission before! Yeah, take that! What was the highest rank mission YOU'VE ever completed, huh!?

I’ve seen <span class=""bb-i"">cripples</span> strike better poses than that. What are you trying to convey with this formation, your sense of balance? Where’s the dynamic? If you don’t have the sense to appreciate style, then don’t even try it.” And with that, I leave the “awesome” team to finish putting their thoughts together, though Chip does perfectly time a kick to one of their shins right after I get up and leave. Just as I start down the hall, I hear a familiar voice call to my attention:<br/><br/>	“Hello.” My brother says as I turn towards him, feeling like I’m about to have the mother of all heart attacks.<br/><br/>	“Oh hi Leon,” I sputter out quickly. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here I mean why would you ever come around to a place like this when there’s so much to do back home I mean seriously I needed to take such a huge break from it all and relax a little bit but then you show up all of the sudden and how did you even get down here-”<br/><br/>	“Spare me the usual prattling, sister,” Leon says, his tone strangely devoid of any negativity. “To answer your question, I decided to leave and track you down myself. As for how I got in, the sentries let me in. The fools probably mistook me for you.” True enough, he looks almost exactly like me, save for his eyes being a different shade of blue and the fact that he wears a necklace instead of a scarf, though the latter would be the only difference that’s immediately noticeable.<br/><br/>	“Oh…,” I say awkwardly as I start to calm down a little bit. “You didn’t come here alone, did you?” He shakes his head.<br/>	“I was asked to bring Dimon and MacArthur,” My brother answers with a tinge of annoyance. “Though I in turn asked them to wait outside. Now, if you’re done asking your questions, come with me; we’re going home.”<br/><br/>	“I… I can’t,” I say, deciding to elaborate after he looks at me with confusion. “I can’t go back there, not now. I can’t sit in a room my whole life listening to political intrigue with a blank smile, you know? I’ve got to find my own place in life first… I feel like it’s what Mom would have wanted…” Leon goes silent for a moment before answering me;<br/><br/>	“Well then…,” he says. “I suppose I could misdirect them for a few days… Perhaps this is a good opportunity to do a little searching of my own…” He grabs his pendant in his hand as he speaks, and he turns to leave, teleporting away before I can thank him. I go back to our team’s room, closing the door quietly and laying down on my bed. I open my journal and try to write another journal entry, but I can’t seem to get anything written down, so I just start absentmindedly doodling until I get tired and throw the book down at the side of the bed, trying to go to sleep.</div>"

""Say... who exactly are you, mystery murkrow?"" I ask the murkrow, having not heard anything about him, and having not even seen him until recently. ""...Daniel..."" he said to me with some hesitation. He then continued with ""Also... I'm a shadow pokemon,"" I took a few steps back with that, not wanting to shake his wing, even though he did offer at that point. Instead, I shouted ""ANTHONYYYYYYYYYY! I need to talk to you!"" I then ran right over towards him, in his usual spot for this adventure, on top of Kamina's head. ""Ah, there you are. Uh, Kamina, mind lowering Anthony for a bit? I need to speak with him about one of his, and temporarily our party members,"" after Kamina lowered Anthony, or if he didn't just after a bit of hesitation, I started whispering to Anthony ""You... do realize that murkrow of yours is a shadow pokemon, right?"" he looks at me with a look of disgust, and then says something I didn't expect him to ""Of COURSE I knew. Why the heck would that matter, anyways, huh!?"" Anthony also shouted rather than try to keep it secret, and I tried to say something, but he wasn't listening anyways ""But... shadow pokemon are evil, aren't they? M, you have to agree with me on this, right?"" of course, it might not have been smart to include M in this as he was being quiet again, probably reflecting on the battle at hand, so, I ended up also asking ""Celes, you agree with me, right? That shadow pokemon, like Desia, are evil?"" it started to get late, so, Anthony, ignoring me, said ""Let's just get some shut-eye, and no, Spruce, nobody's leaving the team,"" <br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>For some reason, everything just seemed better to me, and I mean everything from the food to the floor just seemed amazing as I had my dinner, and left, that is, after a brief interruption by the guildmaster which I wasn't paying any attention to, honestly, and headed right to my bed. Sure, there was some complaining and random noise going on around me, but it just didn't seem to matter at this point, not with what I just overcame. Oddly, I was almost silent through this entire trip, which seemed somehow longer than it usually was, and, once I got to my bed, I had the most amazing dreams. None of them included my father, and a few of them included Spruce leaving that eevee he was with to go with me, instead... heh, as if that would ever happen, but it still made for a pleasant dream. I was already certain that I would wake up in the best of moods tomorrow morning, and I was almost certain that my team would take notice. Oddly, I also felt some sort of energy as I slept, no, it didn't wake me up or anything, but... maybe I'm almost ready to evolve... or maybe I'm just excited to wake up tomorrow, knowing that my own nightmare can be overcome, that he can be defeated... that he has. The thought that I, along with the rest of Team Green can thwart his evil plots, and even possibly arrest him just seemed to bring me nothing but joy and happiness. Of course, there wasn't much else to do now that I was asleep, aside from sleeping.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>Rebbecca was a little slow to get to dinner, well, comparatively, anyways, but she had a pretty funny conversation with 'Team Awesome' about their poses, and she was completely right. In fact, one could argue that they weren't poses, but just a muscle twitch that each of them shared. Once I left the table, I overheard a scream from one of them, possibly that snivy, the stuck-up, arrogant jerk, and looking back inside revealed that Chip kicked him in a splinted that lodged itself in the back of the snivy's leg. I chuckled a little bit, and made sure that I wasn't the last one to bed, and once I was there, I thought to myself <span class=""bb-i"">Wow, my first mission and it was a huge success! Not only did we get paid a lot of money, but we even defeated a rival team... ON OUR FIRST DAY! I think 'perfect to the last beat' is a fitting motto for us, at least, it is for now.</span> I then start dreaming various, random dreams that made absolutely no sense outside of their logic. I can't even begin to describe them, as I don't remember any of them, all I remember was that they were weird, and that they followed no logic... as most dreams do, of course. During a brief time when I was awake in the night, I wondered whether or not there were pokemon who actually remember their dreams, or if there were any whose dreams had any sort of logic... I then laughed myself to sleep on that ridiculous notion, and continue dreaming up those random dreams. </div>"

I am unsure about what to think about that... maybe hes not evil, maybe hes faking being good, I don't know..."" she then says unsure, looking at the murkrow a bit more.<br/>""Although we need some shut eye a bit after what happened... we will need have some guard duty anyway during the night... Anthony might need to wake up later on for a shift... Anyway lets just get some shut eye Spruce... And keep a eye out on that murkrow. Maybe he is not evil and controls the shadow's and is not affected by it... or he was born like that and his mind was unaffected. We need to wait and see."" she then says in a low voice. She then gave Spruce a small kiss and giving a small cuddle, before heading to a tree to get some sleep under it. <br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion smiled as Tini went and hugged them, actually hugging him also a bit. He then went to get food, actually stuffing himself after all that happened today. He then breath deeply and yawned, going to his room, and going to one bed. He looked at Bonnie, and smiled as he saw her sleep, peacefully. She was kinda... cute.... Wait... what was he saying? Seriously... He shook his head a bit at that. It felt awkward a bit. He actually had a small blush on his cheeks right now, as he looked away and went to his bed to go get some sleep. He started to dream of his old home, about his life before, about his parents and the pokemon's that passed by... but then also about himself, bigger and stronger like his mother. Strong enough to defend the pokemons in the forest. He smiled before actually seeing the shape of a Lopunny at a distance, before the dream faded into something else. Great... if that what he was thinking about, now he was even thinking about her in his dreams... That was just too awkward... Why... oh god why was he dreaming about her like that now... </div>"

For some reason, Spruce started yelling at Anthony about that Murkrow being something called a 'Shadow Pokemon.' Then Anthony said that no one was going to leave the team. That's something that should just be assumed, so if must be significant if it needed to be mentioned. ""Uh, yeah...quick question; what's a Shadow Pokemon? Are they anything like those grey Pokemon we saw at that really weird place with the messed up gravity? I mean, sure he doesn't <span class=""bb-i"">look</span> grey...but maybe he's a shiny Shadow Pokemon?"" Remembering that he had a passenger on his head, Kamina resisted the urge to tilt his head in wonder. ""Anyway, I'll take guard duty. I don't sleep much anyway.

Something that wasn't normal was Bonny's extra happy mood, although this also made Tini happy. The large amount of running(?) and also his first evolution had left the not so tiny Tini feeling extra hungry, so he stayed at the magical food place longer then his teammates. By the time he got to their shared room, they were all asleep. With a full stomach, Tini slithered off to his designated sleeping spot and went out like a light.<br/><br/>Once more, Tini's dreams manifested as a realm of utter madness, capable of sending even the most grizzled warrior into insanity. This time, he found himself on a pirate ship along with his team. One might think that this ship was on the water, and you'd be perfectly justified in thinking so...only it wasn't. No, this ship was <span class=""bb-i"">climbing a mountain</span>! ""Weeeeeee!"" Tini cheered as the ship slowly made it's way up the rocky slope.

As soon as he found out about Daniel, he immediately ran over to Anthony, and whispered something to him. Unlike Spruce, Anthony made no effort to keep the others from hearing him.<br/>""Of COURSE I knew. Why the heck would that matter, anyways, huh!?""<br/>""But... shadow pokemon are evil, aren't they?""<br/>Josh sighed. They had already dealt with something like this before, back at the Victini village, and he didn't want to deal with it again. ""We don't have time for this, Spruce."" He said.<br/><br/> The sun was starting to set. As much as Josh wanted to keep going, they would have to wait until morning to continue.

I took WAY too long to actually start fighting again, what with me acting like a drama queen and darting my eye all around myself. Just why the heck did I have feathers? Well, I certainly didn't know, but it didn't mean I'd find an answer by stalling in the middle of a fight.<br/><br/>Speaking of which, I had noticed the remaining Pokemon were on their last legs, obviously defeated and being humiliated at this point. That would send a clear message to those idiots, who tried to uppercut us using nefarious tactics. Well, if they failed with that then I don't even know why they'd even bother the next time around. What would they do, grab a doomsday device and strap a team-mate onto it?<br/><br/>I calmed myself down, remembering I had cast myself something on the lines of Agility. ""Oh, right!"" Just as I was going to fight with the others, another random Pokemon (as if that random Beldum wasn't enough) dived in and essentially demolished that Sneasel, earning my appraisal as I mouthed 'woah.' Said appraisal dissipated quickly though; I wasn't sure what it was, but there was something off about that new guy. (New, <span class=""bb-i"">new</span> guy, not the Beldum - he was alright). Spruce was also in awe somewhat, asking for the mysterious figure's name, getting him to say 'Daniel' with a raspy voice. Celes looked at Spruce and then back to Daniel, while Kamina went on blabbering about something. I leered on, realising something quite grim once everyone's voice said the same thing: 'shadow.'<br/><br/>""Are you kidding me? He's a shadow Pokemon?!"" I growled, moving through and brushing shoulders/magnet with Spruce. There was hostility in the air and surprised he even turned up: but the fact Daniel seemed to be capable of free will/attacking the right people... that refrained me from immediately electrocuting him. ""They're damn right evil! We've spent half our journey battling Desia's minions!"" I let myself go, barking but holding some guilt (and causing myself not to follow the rage I expressed during that battle). Not everything was black and white in this world, and I immediately turned down my tone when Celes suggested that by our logic, Spruce should also be somewhat villainous. ""Alright then... alright Celes. Maybe it could be another one of her tricks though, or maybe he is in fact our saviour."" I said, still tense but more calmly while ignoring whispers in our group.<br/><br/>Celes left to immediately go napping, leaving the rest of us who've apparently forgotten about this oddity. ""I dunno about you 'Daniel', but some of us here aren't exactly used to seeing your kind around."" I got a rather stern look from the Murkrow, but that was expected in response to my attitude. Anthony was also going to bed/sleeping under a shelter of a tree, though he did slip a fact he knew the Murkrow and wasn't prepared to let him go. Supposedly he was trustworthy, so maybe I was just being paranoid. I looked away from Anthony and back to Daniel, the background quiet as everyone snoozed off for sleep. ""Just keep your feathers to yourself, we don't want trouble around here."" I went off to follow the others, glancing at Daniel at least twice before resting on a branch peacefully. <span class=""bb-i"">Just another day in this life, I guess.</span></div>"

Sorry about that, Levita... no, wait, she's still missing... sorry about that Rebecca,"" I then jump out of my bed, and fail to land on all fours. After getting up, I headed right for the mess hall, where they were serving chesto berries to pokemon who weren't exactly early risers. After pushing my way through 'Team Awesome' who was, for some strange reason, still in that same pose they were in earlier as if Chip didn't even hurt them, I get the berry and eat it within the same instant that I could get it. It wasn't my favorite, heck, I'd almost call it my least favorite flavor-wise, but I knew that this was the best way to stay awake until your brain finally catches up with you, so I was still glad to have one... or more, just for that effect. I then look back at 'Team Awesome', and notice that the leader seems to be clenching his teeth, as if he was still in pain. ""You know, you guys can stop with the posing, already... it's the next morning, nobody paid attention last night, and they're not going to today,"" they didn't respond, and for a moment, I thought they were turned to stone somehow... but then I laughed at my own thought, asking myself <span class=""bb-i"">Wow, pokemon turning to stone? How DUMB would that be? Then again... there was that random meteor that was somehow stopped by Rayquaza a few years ago...</span> I asked for another chesto berry, but, this one wasn't for me.

I'm on some sort of quest with Anthony.</span> I thought as I finally stood up, and noticed that I somehow fell asleep right next to Celes, who was still asleep somehow. Anthony was the only other one who was still awake, and he refused to say anything to me, even after I said ""Good morning,"" to him. Maybe that has something to do with me not trusting his shadowy friend. There was a good reason not to, after all, every shadow pokemon I've seen so far has been evil, and either was Desia, or was working for her... it's just a crying shame that Vine went down that same road... that he became one of them, as well. What would his team think when he returned to them looking like that? I dug around in my bag for a chesto berry to help me wake up, but I couldn't find any, unfortunately... actually, I couldn't find much in there, at all save for some money. I really must have been packing light, because all that was in there was the void crystal that I took, the 1000 pokedollars that I had, and a single apple. Did I spill all of my stuff, or did I just use it all before I got here? Either way, I was hungry, but I felt as though I should save the apple for when we actually start moving, rather than waste it right here and now. Apparently, Anthony had the opposite idea, and he was already eating at least one of his apples. Daniel, oddly enough, was the next to wake up, and strangely, he tried to be friendly towards me ""Good morning, Spruce,"" he said to me, though, much like Anthony did to me, I simply ignored him.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I woke up with a yawn, and notice Tini wrapped around his bed, and Eralion still sleeping somehow, and I head off towards the mission board immediately, eager to go do, well, something today. I didn't even need a chesto berry thanks to this just being a wonderful day for me. I then checked the missions, and noticed an outlaw mission involving my father... did he somehow escape arrest? Either way, the place that the mission describes might be his hideout seemed to be kinda out in the open, somewhere where I'd have to take him on head-on... something I already knew I couldn't do. An exploration team I've never seen before consisting of an aggron, a rhydon, and a salamence looked at the same mission and started shivering, similarly to how I used to whenever my father was mentioned... wait... ""You three... weren't you that persian's latest victims?"" the aggron looks down at me, and says ""Yeah, we were, why do you... oh... you're the one who saved us!"" I then correct them with ""Well, I wasn't the ONLY one who saved you... I had a whole team, you know,"" the trio then took a low-level mission, and said their goodbyes before heading off to... wherever they were heading off to. I chuckled at the mission they took. The three of them, taking on a low-level, D-rank mission for beginners, when they're all big, tough pokemon who could probably take any mission or outlaw lower ranked than my father. I then hear something from below. ""We will be going on an expedition in exactly seven days from now!..."" I then heard another blurb about it ""We will be choosing participants based on the missions they do, and how quickly they complete them..."" another blurb stated ""...this WON'T be like last time, where we just chose EVERY member of the guild, correct, Guildmaster?"" everyone else seemed excited about it, but... I honestly couldn't tell why from up here.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I suddenly noticed how bright it was and woke up... much taller than I used to be? Oh, wait, that's right, I was on someone else's head. I jump off of their head, and land as a puddle, only to reform myself quickly afterwards. I notice Spruce was awake, and he even said good morning to me, but given his actions yesterday, I was not in the mood to talk. <span class=""bb-i"">He really needs to change his opinion if he really thinks Daniel is evil just because he's a shadow pokemon... worse, still, that M character seemed to agree with him!</span> I think as I start digging through my bag, only revealing a royal gummi, an apple, the Normal Orb, and 500 pokedollars. I was too hungry to not eat the apple, and I take it out of my bag and eat it in almost one bite, with Daniel waking up soon after that. Daniel was kind enough to take the time to greet Spruce, but Spruce didn't even want to talk to him, for some reason. ""Good morning, Daniel,"" I end up saying to Daniel, which caused him to fly over to me. He then asked ""Hey... do you have any food for me? I'm kinda hungry..."" I shake my head, saying ""Sorry, Daniel, I only had one apple... if I knew you didn't have anything, I would have given it to you, but, I didn't know,"" he then responds with a sad ""Oh..."" and I assure him ""Don't worry though, you'll get the first apple we find on our path, I'll make sure of it,"" that seemed to cheer him up a little bit, but he still looked hungry.</div>"

It was just enough for her to not fall hungry like heck during the journey. He family recipe. Always bring some of it with her during journeys. She breath deeply as she then looked and heard Daniel the shadow pokemon say hello. She stares a bit, looking how Spruce was reacting and breath deeply. She walks near Spruce and whisper to him.<br/>""Well... he didn't attack during the night... maybe it would be best to be a bit nice to him, but still keep our guards up in case it's all a trick.

It would be best to actually try to keep a good mood instead of being too much hateful against everyone here.

ARGH!<br/><br/>""What do you want you bastards?!"" I woke up angry and furious, though that died quickly. I could tell I had probably scared someone. ""Ergh, sorry about that."" I said with some angst, rubbing my magnets together. Heh, just a week ago I couldn't even have them touching without either repelling or attracting. Now... they were like a pair of claws to me, still able to conduct electricity but nothing more. What was I furious about though? I certainly didn't know. I just... well, just thinking of Desia made me twitchy. God knows what she could be doing - while figures like Daniel and Vine were reassuring as to the possible behaviours of Shadow Pokemon, it was unlikely that any further Shadow Pokemon we encountered were going to be friendly. That, and we still didn't know if Daniel was on our side... could be another trap by Desia. Though, if it was a trap, we would've been dead by now - no need to keep us alive any longer.<br/><br/>Regardless, I'm sure there was still something wrong with Daniel. A drone to keep tabs on us? Maybe. Just maybe. Even as he pecked at a wing of us, he could still backstab us at any moment. There was also Anthony, who was so trusting of Daniel like he was a friend of his. I dunno about you, but my opinion... well, I'm not gonna talk about opinions of Pokemon as I bleed out.<br/><br/>I didn't hear what Celes whispered as I came by, but I'd suspect her to be sympathetic to Daniel. ""I'd keep an eye on him Spruce and Celes."" I said to Celes, probably annoyed at what I said loudly earlier. ""Maybe he was sent to keep tabs on us by Desia. If he was going to kill us, he would have done it in his sleep though."" While I was looking at Spruce, I realised Kamina hadn't slept at all last night. ""Then again, Kamina would've fought him off... so, I guess it's just pointing paws and talons against Daniel for then next few <span class=""bb-s"">months</span> days."" I left soon afterwards, getting a weird rumbling and feeling of weakness in my chest. I was hungry. Damn right I was hungry, even for a Magnemite. ""Spruce, got any food? Argh, never-mind. We'll just scavenge from whatever comes by."" It was apparent that food wasn't exactly abundant and we'd likely have to ration our meals for the time being. So much for being prepared - we were going up against a huge bloody mountain, with possible blizzards and all sorts of cold-related hazards. Being hungry was possibly one of the most idiotic things you could do while going on a trek. At the same time, we didn't prepare to suddenly rest in the forest, instead being confronted by Team Zan and forced to rest early.<br/><br/>So, I just kinda looked around the place. It was certainly busy in the morning, though all I could do was rest on some small tree stump. ""Yep, another day, another adventure."" I muttered, inspecting my new feathers and nearly horrifying myself.</div>"

He thought that after everyone had gotten a good night's sleep, they would stop hating each other. That wasn't the case, though.

Maybe they would be able to talk some sense into their teammates.<br/><br/> In their rush to leave Allure, they forgot to bring food with them. If Josh had any food, he would have given it to someone who hadn't eaten yet. He used to go without food for long periods of time back at the reef, so he was used to it.

""What kind of mi-"" I was about to say before my ear holes nearly exploded from a loudred screaming his head off. I stopped for a moment, turned towards the door, walked out and confronted the loudred, not deciding to give him my loudest lecture yet, but instead a look in his general direction that would suck the life out of anything! Except he looked at me, chuckled, and walked off. I trembled out of anger as I stomped off to the mess hall, grabbing my chesto berry and eating it, beginning to feel better.

I got to the morning chants, and saw an even bigger pile of cotton candy, and I salivated. A lemonhead, stared at me, and rolled over, and began to speak gibberish. I was confused, and soon his gibberish began to get louder and louder, and I felt like I was in trouble. It led me into a room with the big cotton candy pile and both of them began speaking complete nonsense, and I asked them to speak normally, but they turned towards eachother and then back at me. The lemonhead escorted me to the medical bay of the guild, and I sat there as more candy spoke some type of other language.

Oddly Anthony seemed to be nodding, and asking Kamina to put him back on his head... that is before he started glowing for no reason, and somehow evolved right there. He was probably faster than he used to be, but somehow, I figured that I'd still be waiting for him. Anthony then started flinging his stubs of arms around as if he had fists attached to them... honestly, it was kinda funny to see him try to punch without hands, but I didn't let that stop me from continuing onward... with the temperature suddenly dropping once I continued north for a few minutes. I took a look at my map, just to try to figure out where we were, but... I couldn't figure it out for the life of me, unfortunately, so I put it away again, and simply continued towards the giant mountain looming in the distance. Unlike Mt.

Dragoncoil... and it looked colder, too.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>I saw Rebecca rouse Chip from his sleep, and saw Chip run off towards the mess hall and back after doing whatever it was he did. I then smile, and take out the chesto berry, handing it to Rebecca, saying ""Here, I figured you'd need this,"" I then hear someone say something ""...here..."" I looked around the place, but I couldn't find the source of the voice. ""Come here..."" I hear the voice call out again, this time loudly enough for me to tell that it came from just beyond our door. I walk over to the door, and see a bronzor wearing some sort of mustache looking back at me. ""Ah, there you are. Team Crescendo, correct? If so, then, I will meet you in the new cafe... we will talk there, they've all left to go do something, so we'll be the only ones there,"" this seemed extremely suspicious to me, and he continued ""You girls DO want to figure out the mysteries of the dungeons, and want to figure out why they're appearing randomly, correct?"" he still didn't seem like he was someone I could trust, but to be honest, I kind of did want to find out everything I could about mystery dungeons. Despite living in one for so long, I never learned much, if anything about them in general, heck, I just assumed some otherworldly being makes them whenever they get bored or something... okay, I didn't believe that, but it was the closest thing I had to an answer. I then notice that the bronzor left while I was deep in thought, and I turned back to Rebecca, who most likely heard the entire thing, and ask ""Reb... should we follow that guy? He seems weird, and untrustworthy, but wouldn't that be amazing if we found out the secret behind the mystery dungeons?""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I nod at Eralion, and look around on the mission board for a while, that is, until I finally find the best one, well, at least the best one to me. The note read<br/>'Help me find my child!<br/><br/>I'm a mother at her wit's end! My child has just gone mysteriously missing<br/>last night for no explanation or reason! I've looked all over for her<br/>but I haven't found a single clue yet... Come to me in Scale City for <br/>more information. Bring this mission statement with you, so I'll know.<br/><br/>Reward: TM<br/><br/>~Terra the Sceptile'<br/>What made this one stand out was the date... it was on there for months, and nobody's taken it, nor has it been taken off the board in that time. Who knows where this missing child could be or what could be happening to her right now as a result of... whatever it was that made her vanish from existence. I wasn't familiar with this 'Terra', but apparently she lived in Scale City, which I've heard was only for dragon types, yet this 'Terra' was a grass type... perhaps that's the reason why her child was abducted? I showed the mission to Eralion, and said ""We should probably do this one,"" and then I waited for William, not actually aware of his current medical condition.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Everyone was finally awake and and gathered, and as such, we were supposed to be on our way, and Spruce seemed to agree with me on that, opting to continue our exploration rather than continue bickering between his friends all of whom seemed to have a different opinion on Daniel. The magnemite was against his existence, however, Celes seemed to regard him as a teammate... Kamina was still just Kamina, and didn't really have much of an opinion at all on the matter. I slithered over to Kamina and ask him to lower his head so I can get on top of it again, however, before I do that, I suddenly get surrounded by a bright light, and start changing. <span class=""bb-i"">Is this what evolving is like? Am I evolving right now?</span> I think as the light finally fades, and I notice already that I'm taller, and heavier. I felt somewhat faster, but I knew that Kamina was still going to be the best bet if I didn't want others waiting on me during this exploration. I looked down, and noticed something amazing... I had limbs now! Sure, they were stubby, and flinging them around as if they were arms, and as if I was punching didn't seem like it would be too effective, but this was so much better than just relying on my mouth or stickiness to hold things, heck, I could even put the Power Bracer I've been 'holding' on one of these arms. I chose the left one, and I jumped onto Kamina's head as soon as his head was low enough for me to do that. I then looked back at my teammates, and wonder if any of them evolved, as well... Spruce seemed to be an odd case, surely he should have evolved before I did, right?<br/></div>"

Maybe he was here to cause division in our group? No, Desia wouldn't be that smart... Arceus damn it. It's only been 6 days with this group and yet we're already calling names as to who's the spy or who's the minion. Seriously, we don't know who to trust anymore. Me and Spruce don't take to Daniel too well, whereas Pokemon like Josh, Anthony and even Celes seem to be rather trusting of him. (Not sure about Kamina, he doesn't seem to have any opinions.) Argh, Desia's played us so well that we can't even tell whether or not she ISN'T playing us at other times. This says a lot for a group that has to go up against her sooner or later, as poor decision-making would be the end of us really.<br/><br/>I didn't sneer at Daniel, but I still kept having bad thoughts involving him. Despite this, going head-to-head with him immediately probably wouldn't resolve anything - we'd have to get along with him, at least until he showed any signs of hostility against us. ""Daniel, come with us. Don't want you alone with the wildlife, right?"" I said to him, trying my best not to antagonise him while also making sure I could keep my single eye on him. What seemed to be a bright light flashed hit my eyes, but all I did was rub it off and assume that it was a side-effect of having these damned feathers. I grunted, realising that was Anthony evolving. I paid little attention considering I was little more concerned with myself at the moment. At that point of time anyway, not now - I had already accepted my fate here.<br/><br/>Anyway, Spruce inspected his map for a while, as if he didn't know what directions were (per usual). Sure enough, he ended up wandering off towards that giant looming mountain in the distance; the sheer size was imposing enough, with clouds moving around the mountain like a river does with a boulder. It was certainly a sight, something we somehow missed while fighting. ""Alright lads, let's move then. Don't want to spend another night here, right?"" I grinned with my eye, following Spruce who didn't seem to be lost this time. </div>"

When it subsided, Anthony was much taller, and had grown arms. He still had to catch a ride on Kamina's head, though, since he was still rather slow. Just as they were about to keep going, Josh was cloaked in a light as well. He was now much bigger, and could also probably move around on his own.<br/><br/> The group then continued going north, and thankfully, they weren't interrupted at all this time. In the distance, there was a tall mountain capped with snow. They'd been traveling for a while now, so there was a pretty good chance that this was their destination.<br/>""Is that where we're headed, Anthony?"" Josh asked.

It looked so cold, and looking at the group... she really felt like a lot of the pokemons in the group will have a hard time. Kamina probably gonna be just fine, being with his fiery spirit, but Spruce... and Anthony. She shivers a bit and then moved close to Spruce, actually slightly cuddling near him, shivering a bit.<br/>""Sorry... I just have a bad feeling about this. For the team's sake."" she says a bit worried, looking at the mountain. She then had the feeling of seeing Spruce get frozen by something, then hit constantly by some things with red glowing eyes. She shivered a bit more. She was really worried of what would happen. She just hoped Kamina might help the group and use his fiery spirit to literally warm the group up.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion looked at the job, and smiled a bit, looking at Bonnie.<br/>""That is actually a good job.

With the pink coloring and how he talked, it was no surprise that he was a fairy type also. The face of the dragons if they discover that.... faces of fear probably.<br/>""So when will we go?"" he says, smiling, full of energy right now.

Congratulations of your evolution! I can understand the shear bliss that comes from getting a stronger body, and how it can make moving around so much easier. I remember how I had to Splash around to move on land back when I was just a Magikarp."" Kamina gently shook his head as he reminisced about days gone by (even though it really hadn't been that long, and being a Magikarp was a really sad existence. Yeah, Kamina's brain wasn't wired quite right). When Anthony requested him to lower his head so he could get on, Kamina did so without even thinking about it. ""But I gotta admit; I don't think I've ever had a morning quite as good as the one you're having now. Although my first morning at the guild would come close; it was really amazing to be able to safely eat my fill during breakfast, that was certainly a first."" Once Anthony had gotten settled on his head, Kamina followed the mon with the map (Spruce.) As he did however, he noticed something strange happening to Celes ""hey Celes, are you okay?

A single tear fell from his face ""no...it can't be"" memories of one traumatic night came back to him, of a night spent lost and alone in the seedier part of Scale City, and the indgnaties that had been heaped upon him:<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i""><br/>""Hi there, would you like to buy an Encyclopedia set?<br/><br/>""NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-</span><br/><br/>""-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!""

Eventually, it got to the point where snow covered the ground, and just before it got to the point where I'd give up just from sheer cold, or at least, I would were it not for Celes, who seemed... oddly warm, a single, small building can be seen. The building seemed to have a warm glow coming from it, and Daniel flew right in an open window, which I thought was somewhat rude, but for some reason he didn't get yelled at. Oddly Kamina didn't seem to mind the cold at all, but, then again, he was both a water and a fire type... M would probably love it here, were it not for the sunlight reflecting off of the white snow, which I figured would bother him. Anthony has since started hiding in his helmet for whatever warmth that provided, and, given its dark coloration, that might be more than usual. Once I got close enough to the building, an amazing smell hit me... it almost smelled like... a bakery, but, why out here, where NOBODY ever stops by? Why not in the city, or at least A city? I then look over at Celes, and almost think about kissing her for keeping me warm in this cold place, but the door swung open before I had a chance, and a pignite, one who was wearing an odd tall, white hat greeted us. <br/><br/>""Well, what do we have here? Customers? I haven't had a customer in... well... years!"" He then gestures for us to head inside the small building, and, given that it was much warmer than outside, I head right in, and try to get a seat close to the fireplace, and far away from any windows. I was still shivering from the cold, but the fireplace was starting to help a little bit. The place was strange... there was a single room big enough for four small tables, and four chairs around each of them. The other room looked as if it was a kitchen, with a wall separating it from the room we were in... there was a wooden door, and a rectangular hole in the wall... a common set up for a restaurant, but usually, that required more than one worker to be used properly. Daniel was already inside, and I accidentally picked a chair near him. ""Uh... hello?"" He says to me as if it was a question. I ignore him, still unsure as to whether or not I should trust him, and Anthony's annoyed grunt could be heard from here, even if he chose the opposite table.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>Thankfully, I didn't have to worry too much about the cold, given that firstly, I was inside of my helmet, and secondly, I was riding on top of a fire-type pokemon... one who seemed confused at the thought of being cold. Even though I was hiding in my helmet, I still noticed when the grass became snow due to the sounds Kamina was making while he slithered through the stuff. It made a sort of crunching sound as he passed through it, and the tiny view I got from the holes I made in my helmet showed me a pitch black mountain against the white snow... both the snow on top of it, and below it. It was quite an interesting sight, as it also seemed to cut through the clouds... I almost knew that we'd have to climb that mountain ourselves, and the fact that Spruce was already probably dying from the cold wasn't a good sign for things to come. Soon enough, an amazing smell filled my helmet, and I got out of it just to check out what it was. A small, wood and iron building seemed to be the source of that, as well as the source of a warm, inviting glow. Daniel managed to beat Spruce in, and Spruce didn't look too happy about that. I jumped off of Kamina's head, and started making my way there, myself, almost forgetting about the cold entirely.<br/><br/>Once we were at the building, the door opened up to reveal a pignite, probably the owner of this place, and at first, I thought he'd be mad at us, but he assumed we were customers, and we probably were by now, and he let us in. The place was amazingly warm for having two open windows, and being made primarily of wood, though, it was disappointingly small for a restaurant, with seating for only sixteen pokemon, and even then they'd be sharing a relatively small table. Spruce picked a seat right next to the fire place, even though he wasn't a fire type, and Daniel picked a seat right across from him. Daniel tried to say hello to Spruce, but Spruce ignored him, prompting an annoyed grunt from me. Of course, I chose a seat that was pretty far away from them, so I wasn't entirely sure that they heard it, but, after that, the door separating the kitchen from the... I suppose dining room swung open and slammed against the wall next to it, probably damaging both. ""So, what can I get ya?"" the pignite asked us excitedly, though, that was a given when we were his first customers in a while. He then hands everyone a menu, and I decide ""I'll... take three of the Plain Pastries, please,"" I then turn to whomever was sitting next to me, but the pignite, excited to serve everyone, ran off to the next customer immediately after that... in this case, Spruce, who apparently ordered the same thing, probably for cost concerns, as they were the cheapest, at 250 poke, while the rest ranged in price from 500 to 700 poke, though, if we had any gummis on us, he'd apparently make one for free.

I... just wanted to make sure you were on board with this, heh,"" I call for Chip to join us, and run off after Rebecca, excited about the new mission that was going to be assigned to us by some guy... whoever he was, he seemed to know a lot about mystery dungeons, and how they worked. I quickly find myself in the requested meeting place, that cafe he was talking about, and I look around... <span class=""bb-i"">Nope, just two pokemon playing darts... no bronzor there... no, that's just an abomasnow eating X-eye seeds as if they were a snack... AHA, there he is!</span> I think as I look around the bar, not entirely sure if this was the best place for someone like me to be at this time, but after ducking to make sure a supposedly stray dart didn't hit me in the eye, I find a familiar mustache, and a semi-familiar bronzor attached to it. ""There you are... I knew you'd show up,"" He says to me before dropping a dirty, yellow folder in front of me. It had a red [CLASSIFIED] stamp on it, similar to the papers that Rebecca and I helped collect yesterday, but, surely they can't be the same ones... though... the folder smelled suspiciously like grass, dirt, and nidoran poison. ""This... is some information. Do with it whatever you please, but I can't say anything more. There are too many... others... here,"" he then left, dropping a note similar to a mission statement as he did so, and he obviously intended for me to pick it up, as he looked behind him for a moment as I did so, and nodded once I picked it up.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I would have waited for William, however, Tini supposedly had some sort of flashback to Scale City, and he picked Eralion and I up, and slithered away at full speed shouting ""NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"" as he did so. His minty scent was overpowering, and I couldn't get a really good view of anything but where we've been, as apparently, I was picked up backwards. As Treasure Town got smaller, I could only imagine that Scale City would be getting closer, and, eventually, we came to a stop at the fabled city of dragons, and thankfully, Tini put me down. The place was... different than what I was used to seeing, that much was true, and it was certainly overwhelming with how tall the buildings were, not to mention how many of them there were... or their residents in general. Dragon types were always intimidating, always big, always scaly, and always powerful... well, save for the younger ones, such as Tini, who I would say is still very powerful. I took my first few steps on the odd, blackened road that separated the primarily painted stone and iron buildings which reached heights probably only achievable by dragons, and, obviously, often held many within their walls. The road, itself felt just as cold as the cobblestone pathways in Treasure town, so that wasn't too unfamiliar, what was, though, was a lack of foot traffic, as it seems most of the city's residents were capable of flight, and as such, they were above us, rather than right in front of us. ""So... we're going to have to find a lost treecko in this mess of a city... that sounds easy, doesn't it?"" of course, I was being sarcastic, and that much was obvious just from my tone of voice, but, having a mission to find something in here, given what 'here' was like was already getting on my nerves.</div>"

Although this was also very welcome, because they would not have to stay in the cold. Although how can a bakery survive out here, where not lot of people come? That was a big question. She wasen't hungry too much though. She then sat next to Spruce.<br/>""Just one of the plain pastry's. I am just a bit hungry, not much."" she says. She looked at Daniel, and heard Anthony's reaction.<br/>'Hey Daniel."" she says calmly, before breathing deeply, and looking at Spruce. She breath deeply.<br/>""Maybe just saying hey or something... might not be too much. I mean... what if hes not really a minion of Desia? Just be a bit nice, but stay on your guard? Its just so you look a bit less on your guard towards him and we find out his true attentions... if he has any."" she then whispers to him calmly. She then looked at everyone, waiting for everyone to order something.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion was surprised by how Tini reacted... but that the thing... that was Tini they were talking about. That how he usually react... It was hard to see what was in Tini's mind... which probbaly would render any normal person insane completely if they were to try to read Tini's mind. One thing for sure, psychic types would have a very hard time with Tini if they were to try Mind Reader on him. Soon the group arrived at Scale city, and first thing he noticed was how dragon types were flying over head them instead of using the road. This made him a bit uneasy, having the feeling something might swoop down and attack them. He breath deeply. At least this was a city, and they probably were civilised, so that would not happen. He then looked at Bonnie as she comments.<br/>""It would be best to go see that Sceptile first. We could get some clues about where he would be. That would be the first step."" he then says calmly to her, and then looking at Tini.<br/>""And next time Tini.... easy with the grip.... dang..."" he says, holding his arm just a bit. Although one thing he though: When he will evolve, Tini probably won't be able to do that. Although with how big he would be... Well, lets just say he shall be able to guard and take a good hit if someone were to attack one of them.</div>"

Josh had grown up in a tropical climate, so he wasn't used to the cold at all. He noticed that the others weren't doing too well, either, with the only exceptions being Matt and Kamina. Matt told him once that the gel surrounding him protects him from things like weather, and he had seen Kamina use Fire-type moves before, so that would explain their resistance to the cold.<br/><br/> The group eventually arrived at a small building. The smell of freshly-baked bread suggested that it was a bakery of some sort, but running a business out here would be nearly impossible, due to how little customers they'd get. Because of this, Josh just assumed that it was just an ordinary house, and it only smelled like that because they were making bread or something.<br/><br/> He was wrong. They were immediately greeted by a Pignite, who seemed excited to finally have customers. They all sat down, with Matt setting Josh's bucket down beside Anthony, who seemed pretty annoyed about Spruce's treatment of Daniel.<br/>""We won't have to deal with him for much longer."" Josh said. ""As soon as we're done here, we'll be back at the guild and we won't have to go on any more missions with him.""<br/><br/> The Pignite began going around, taking their orders. Josh ordered a few plain pastries, since that was the cheapest thing on the menu. When the Pignite got to Matt, he ordered the same thing.<br/>""So, do you know where exactly we're going, Anthony?"" Josh asked. ""We've gone pretty far. I think we might be getting close.""</div>"

""Ah, food! Looks like I will get breakfast this morning"" this was a wonderful surprise for triple Typed big guy, as he still hadn't gotten used to the idea of breakfast (as all he had before was found-something-edible time), he was happy to see the pattern that had begun to emerge continue out here. As Kamina looked over the menu, he suddenly realized something extremely important; he didn't know how to read 'well drat! Never expected this to bite me in the fin. Oh well. I wouldn't be me if I let this get me down' he thought to himself. ""I'll have three servings of what they're having"" he told other Fire Type. To be completely honest; Kamina wasn't sure what he had just ordered. Still, if it was good enough for his friends, then it was good enough for him 'and besides; anything that I don't have to force past my gag reflex if awesome in my book.'<br/><br/>---<br/><span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span><br/><br/>Back when he was just a Dratini, Tini would have found that mad dash exhausting. Sure he was still a little tired, but nowhere near as much as he would have been yesterday. ""Sorry guys, it just...the poor Treeko...the <span class=""bb-i"">encyclopedias</span>"" there was a very alien hatred in his voice as he said 'encyclopedia'. ""But hey, it's just like Bonnie said; this is going to be easy! I mean a Treeko is a Dragon city is going to stick out like a tumor bulging out of your skin. So first we have to find the mom, then we reassure her that we'll save her child while beating up all the encyclopedia salesmon we find along the way, then we go do that thing we just told her we'd do. It's so simple. I'm sure someone around here has seen him...or her...I forgot which it was. Anyway, all we'll need to do is just ask around and I'm sure we'll find someone who can point us in the right direction. Oh, and before I forget; if we run into an encyclopedia salesmon, go for the encyclopedias. They draw their power from those accursed grimoire. So if you destroy them, then they're powerless. It always works for me."" he told them</div>"

No longer did I feel blinded and opposed by the sun, instead operating on a welcoming cold and wonderful snow-covered plains. It was still bright, but not exactly disturbing. ""Huh, I can actually see now."" I joked, avoiding some glimmers in the more hardened snow patches. Those still had a degree of reflection which did make me squint occasionally. Otherwise, I was content with living here rather than having a... 'home' in that community a while back. In front however, there was... a bakery. A bit strange, but considering taxes only applied to people living within the towns, I could see why this place could still open. So long as it could have a steady supply of baking goods, which was actually quite suspicious in these snowy flats. ""Guys, be careful. It could be a trap or anything as dangerous as one."" I warned, though everyone had already went inside, with Daniel slipping through a window and the rest entering the building like normal Pokemon. ""Huh. I guess everyone's hungry then.""<br/><br/>Inside, the bakery looked a little archaic in terms of design, using sharp corners and dark colours on the ceiling. The rest of the place looked respectable and cosy, which to me rang alarm bells. What? A bakery in the middle of nowhere? Right near a couple of dungeons? That's not something you'd see everyday, wouldn't you? ""Ergh, I'll just take the same as the rest of you guys."" I said, wiping my eye and looking outside. That seemed like a world away from this place.</div>"

That Bronzor wasn’t very good at being very conspiratorial, at least if you asked her; you’d need to drop a letter in their pocket or something that tells them to meet in some random place in the woods. They’d need to make sure they weren’t followed, but at least you could talk without worrying about everyone in the room having the potential to be in on the super important secret.<br/><br/>	“Do you think we should head back to our room again before we look at any of this stuff,” Rebeca asked her friend as she glanced around the bar nervously. “I mean, he made it sound like it was really important that we knew it was for our eyes only for some reason.” There was also the fact that she wouldn’t be able to read the papers in the first place if she didn’t go out of her way to keep her hair out of her eyes, but she didn’t want to go out of her way to mention that part.<br/></div>"

Thankfully, Celes was there as well, and she was sitting next to me, but, then again, so was Daniel. Apparently, he gave up on talking to me, and started talking to Celes, saying ""Why is your friend being so rude to me? I didn't offend him somehow, did I?"" I chose to ignore him, and I whisper to Celes ""Don't you dare tell him that I know he's secretly helping Desia... I don't know how he's doing it, yet, but I'm sure he is,"" I then waited there, as the smell made me even more hungry than I already was... well, okay, I had an apple, but that didn't seem like enough, at least, not anymore. Anthony, honestly was probably having a harder time than I was, I mean, he skipped breakfast. I then look over at M, who seemed way too suspicious of this place, but, then again, he might be right... however, given the fact that this place wouldn't actually sell us anything by now if it were a fake, and would have attacked the extremely vulnerable to fire grass and steel types around here, just to get a quick KO in before anyone knew what was going on... maybe this place wasn't a trap.<br/><br/>Eventually, the food came, and I put two of the pastries away in my bag, saving them for the journey, which I'm sure was still nowhere near finished. The pignite then asked me ""So, mind me asking what exactly brings you here?"" and I answer with ""Well, funny thing, we're actually on some sort of journey. Apparently there's someone in need of help, and Anthony over there got some sort of psychic message. I followed him mainly because I wanted to see his reaction when he finds out that it was all fake... well, either that, or I want to make sure he's not in serious danger if it happens to be a trap,"" the pignite snorted, as they typically do, and he ends up saying ""I see... well, the only place around here where that could have come from would be... Yuki Village, of course, last I heard, they ticked off Kyurem, and the entire place froze over, pokemon included. Heh, and they called me crazy when I wanted to set up a bakery next to a mystery dungeon..."" <span class=""bb-i"">A whole village, frozen over from a single pokemon? This 'kyurem' HAS to be a legendary pokemon... nothing else could have that sort of power... and I don't think I'm ready to take down a legendary.</span> I think as I start eating my plain pastry, which, while plain still tasted amazing... of course, I didn't know if it was because this pignite was a great baker, or if it was just because I didn't have too much to eat today, and was still hungry, and honestly, I didn't care. That pastry didn't last too long on my plate after that first bite, and I felt oddly energized, and ready to go after that meal. I then looked around to make sure that everyone else was finished, and I notice that Daniel was still pecking at his food... and he didn't even look like he was halfway done with his.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Right, right... sorry, it's just... he gets on my nerves so much,"" I say to Josh, who I just noticed evolved, and yet was still in the bucket. I then ask ""Hey... now that you've evolved... maybe you can finally float your way out of that bucket. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to try, would it, and it would certainly help poor Matt out,"" After that, the smell of bread almost hits me on the head like a hammer... it seems that whatever method this pignite is using to bake his pastries, it wasn't instant, which meant that I had to wait. Spruce seemed extremely impatient, and he seemed to whisper something to Celes after Daniel starts talking to her instead of Spruce. Thank goodness he stopped talking to Spruce, or I'd probably have a heart attack or something. Of course, right now, I had bigger issues, that being the fact that I couldn't have that food right now. M seemed oddly suspicious of this place, but honestly, I didn't have much of a choice given that somehow, all of my bag's contents were missing. ALL of them, food included, and we were expected to go through another mystery dungeon like this. Obviously, this dungeon wasn't going to be a walk in the park like Sunswept Plains was by now, as well, so it's not like I could really stop by anywhere else for food at the moment.<br/><br/>Finally, the bread was finished baking, and Spruce seemed to have the right idea by saving two of his pastries for our travels ahead. I did that, myself, and limited myself to just one pastry for now. Of course, the thing was gone in basically one bite, due to not only my hunger from skipping breakfast, but also my hunger from evolving earlier. I didn't know why, but this was the best food I've ever had in my life... okay, that was an exaggeration, but still it had no business being this good. I simply chalked it up to just how hungry I was, and I overhear the pignite talking with Spruce, and then snorting afterwards. ""Yuki Village, huh? Hey, Josh, I think I just figured out where we're going, but, um, you're not going to like this, the place froze up apparently,"" Spruce then jumped out of his seat, put on his bag, and glared at Daniel for not finishing his food as quickly as he did. I manage to contain my anger this time, and simply chuckled at the fact that he had to wait for Daniel to finish. Rather than joining Spruce near the door, I just stayed seated until everyone else was finished, Daniel included. Eventually, I got a little bored of just sitting, and I tell Josh ""You know... it's been a while since we first formed this team... in fact, it was so long ago, that I was still a bandit, hiding somewhere, huh? Heh... remember back in Scale City when we had that 'Zane' guy or whoever go searching for your friends in Beach Cave?"" of course, I didn't really expect him to answer me, I just sort of felt like talking to him about something other than his recent evolution, and the fact that he might not need the bucket anymore.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>I turn back towards Tini who started mumbling about encyclopedia salespokemon, and how to easily defeat them... what really got me was that, unlike the Tini that I'm used to, unlike the Tini whose motto was probably something like 'With the power of cookies, and friendship, I can beat ANYTHING!', this Tini was angry, as in, genuinely angry about something, or someone. ""Try to keep your calm, alright Tini? I'm sure there aren't any salespokemon around here, at least, none that we actually have to deal with,"" I then continued walking around the giant, dragon-filled city, getting strange looks from most of the citizens as I did so. Unfortunately, this place was a rock and iron maze, and I ended up back at the entrance soon after, though, this time, I noticed a giant sign that had a picture of a sceptile, and a salamence on it. Given the species of pokemon she was, that was probably where Terra worked, and she was probably the only sceptile in this city. I then start running towards the sign, only to find myself in the middle of a street, with the sign next to some unmarked, and most likely unimportant building. I then actually read the sign, and it told me that the place was two blocks ahead. <span class=""bb-i"">Ugh... this place is the worst... how does anyone even get around in this place?</span> I think before I remember that most of the citizens can fly, or have parents who can fly. Sure, there was the occasional haxorus, druddigon, or garchomp, but for the most part, the citizens were all flying above me, including a dragonite who had a pecha berry on her horn who flew over to a building that was shaped like a dragonite's head... odd.<br/><br/>After getting lost several more times in this horrible maze of a city, one which was clearly not made for walking in, I pass by the item shop again, the owner, a dragoniar who's apparently the guildmaster's son, and who reminded me of Tini, who I was almost certain I lost in this horrible place, I finally run into the hotel... and by that, I mean literally. Thankfully, I ran into the doors, and thankfully, those doors opened into the hotel, so I didn't really bump into anything, and, behind the counter of this hotel? A concerned-looking sceptile, and a salamence who was trying to calm her down. ""Um... Terra?"" I ask the sceptile, who looks around the place, apparently expecting someone taller, or otherwise bigger than I was to enter the building. She then looked down and I held out the paper, just to make sure there wasn't some sort of misunderstanding. ""Y...you'll really help me? Oh thank goodness! I sent out that SOS mail months ago, and I've already given up on anyone finding my little girl,"" I nod, and ask ""So... where could your daughter be, Ms. Terra?"" she starts thinking for a moment, and I hear her list out ""Well, she could be in the park... that's in the center of the city by the way, of course, she could also have been at the clothing store, she always liked it there... and, of course, the nearby restaurant. She used to try to sneak away from her job to eat there... I guess you could start with any of those places,"" I then look around for my teammates, honestly hoping that they were able to actually follow me through this mess... or, weren't waiting for me somewhere due to me getting lost three times in this city.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>I pick up the folder, and overhear what Rebecca said. I would have said something, but, due to the fact that I need all of my limbs to walk, and I had to use my mouth to pick up the folder, I simply gave my best impersonation of a shrug in response to her first question, and a nod in response to the second one. Of course, the fact that I was already halfway to the door when she asked that question was not important, and either way, I headed back to our team's room to finally see what was on these papers all along... funny how our VERY FIRST mission had something to do with what we'd probably end up doing throughout our exploration careers... funny... and oddly coincidental, as if something else was supposed to happen between then and now, but someone, or something, just decided to rush this along, to bring us closer to some sort of ending, somehow. I tried to come up with any possible solution as to who or what that might be as I continued towards our room, but, we got back there sooner than I expected to, and somehow, Chip was still there, motionless. I would have checked to see if he was breathing, but then I remembered that he's a bug, and they breathe a little... differently than us more complex pokemon... I then look back at Rebecca, and remembered that I still had the folder in my mouth even though we've been here for a few minutes. I dropped the folder, and opened it up, this time with my front feet rather than my mouth.<br/><br/>What was inside both amazed and confused me. Apparently, due to recent studies listed and explained on the first page, pokemon who spend enough time in a mystery dungeon and away from any of the orbs of balance, or void crystals start behaving strangely, but not JUST due to being there, no something else supposedly has influence over this effect, an unknown pokemon species of some sort... the next page details that this pokemon's strength must be great, and said pokemon could even be considered a legendary, that is, if it's actually real... of course, further studies have proven that once in a while, pokemon in a dungeon who are effected by this being actually see something, an odd collection of squares in various sizes and colors, some pokemon apparently theorize that this thing that they see might be more than just them being crazy, and it might be some sort of clue. There were more pages, but that alone kinda blew me away, a legendary that's building mystery dungeons, and somehow corrupting the pokemon inside of them? That might be a little too much for me to handle for now, so I simply handed the rest to Rebecca, hoping that she'd have a better time understand the papers than I did.<br/><br/></div>"

""Your psychic powers were probably enhanced upon evolution. Besides, it can't hurt to try.""<br/>Matt was right. It was worth a shot.

She was actually not trusting Daniel completely either, but she was at least trying to be nice. When the pastry finally came, she slowly ate it, smiling. For a plain pastry, it was surprisingly good. After a while she had finished it, listening to what was being said. Yuki village... Well that is interesting.

Math pun) the current situation via math, it would look something like this; Epic Adventure + (Number of Team Members X Number of Team Members Evolved in Current Adventure) + Foes Defeated = A Grand Time for All...only the current mood didn't match his calculations, so something wasn't right. Taking some time to think it through, he tore through his snack (for a creature his size, 3 Plain Pastries isn't even close to a full meal) as he ruminated on the issue. After he had thought about it for long enough, he had an idea, one that was the height of subtlety ""I don't get it; we're on an epic quest, we had an awesome fight the other day, and two people evolved. So why is everyone so grumpy...well except for M, he's always kind of grumpy, it's kinda his thing."" and that's when it hit him ""M...are you spreading your grumps to everyone else?""<br/><br/>---<br/><span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span><br/><br/>Poor, poor naive Bonnie, she had no idea just what kind of depraved evil they were up against 'but that's okay, she's better off ignorant...they both are.

Due to being forced to confront his old demons, Tini had decided that it would be best to be solemn. Of course Tini being Tini, he didn't really understand what solemn was, so he settled for a face that made it look like he was constipated. Due to both his body type, and innate Tininess, he was able to follow Bonnie without a problem, and therefor was there as they met Terra.

Not that I could've ordered food anyway, leaving my Pokes back at the bank of Allure. Well, I would've lost my money considering we'd been just fighting Team Zan. I'd probably have to ask for food from the others, much to my displeasure. I never came prepared for some odd reason.<br/><br/>This place was warm and welcoming, though even that didn't stop me from feeling like an outsider. Everyone else was busy eyeing each other and planning their next move, against the backdrop of a roaring fireplace and orange lighting illuminating the little toys on the shelves. Books lay dusty while curtains remained shut to keep the heat in. I personally didn't like this setting much, though I was gradually warming to it. This was despite turning my backs on everyone, obsessing over a lost friend and an on-going enemy. I stared out the window, looking for a reason to fight... I just felt myself go hungry and somewhat saddened. Not everything in this world was going to boil down to how feel you fought the enemy or saved the world. It was just survival, really.<br/><br/>""Eheh."" I almost chuckled, though I couldn't really make one up if my life depended on it. ""Kamina, one day you'll witness great betrayal and defeat so hard that all you can do is turn to hate for love. Not that I'd expect you to understand that, anyway."" After that, I slid down against the wooden walls, slowly and gently tapping onto the floor. ""Oh... Spruce, you have anything to spare?"" I asked a bit weakly, feeling tired and unsure about the quality of sleep I had received that night.</div>"

Nevertheless, she held the papers close and at a proper angle to comfortably read them. She’d promised herself she’d carefully read the whole thing earlier, but now that she was actually in the moment, she found herself skimming over the parts that she had trouble understanding. Hopefully she could go back to them later.<br/><br/>	“So,” The Ralts said as she carefully reorganized papers back into their original position. “This whole “Square Pokemon” deal is all a bit hard to take in, if kind of familiar in a deja vu sort of way, but what’s a “void crystal” supposed to be? I guess those balance orbs have something to do with those light orbs you mentioned earlier, but this seems to be different if you ask me. Do you know anything about them?” As she spoke, Rebecca held the papers in front of her in one hand and lightly batted at them with the back of the other. It made her seem more ""professional"", at least in her mind.</div>"

I honestly wondered how he ate at this point, even though he's done it before, I never paid enough attention when he did. I answer him with ""Uh, sure. I actually have two to spare, but I was trying to save them for the rest of this exploration. You can have one, though,"" I then take out one of the plain pastries that I saved, earlier, and hand it to M. ""Do you mind eating that on the way? I'd kinda like to finally get moving, again,"" I then ask, oddly eager to head out into the cold, unforgiving wilderness from the warmth of the bakery. My first step out, however, felt horrible just due to the difference between it and the bakery. I got used to it, and started heading towards where I assumed the forest was... of course, Daniel, of all pokemon, actually corrected me, saying ""Uh, Spruce? Hate to criticize you, but that baker said north... you're heading west,"" I mumbled ""Yeah, sure, of course you'd correct me, of course you'd know where it is..."" hoping that nobody else overheard me. Anthony exited the bakery soon after that, only to go back in for some reason or another. I simply continued onward, that is, after making sure that everyone was still following me. <br/><br/>After a bit of walking, I finally made it to the forest, and I was already hit in the face with a sense of foreboding... and fear. The sheer volume and density of the trees in this place made it completely dark, even if it was mid-day at the time... and not too long afterwards, a snowstorm starts up, reducing visibility even further. ""This... isn't going to be easy, is it?"" I ask my group, wondering if anyone was even here at the moment... this seemed like just the place for everyone to get lost... heck, considering the harsh winds that came with the snowstorm, they could be following some wind they think sounds like me, or something. Without knowing where I was going, I stumble around in the darkness, and the snow, only to bump right into a tree. ""A...anyone? Where are you?"" I ask after looking around and finding nobody near me, now, this could just be due to the extremely poor visibility, or I could have lost them... and soon after, I got a response, but not from any of my teammates, no, instead Daniel decided to respond with ""I'm in the tree, right above you, and to your right. I think I might be able to help us all... if you'll let me, of course,"" Daniel... why did he have to be the only one to answer me? Why couldn't Celes or, heck, even Anthony have heard me? Didn't anyone actually follow me?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>""Right, sorry about reminding you, Josh,"" I say to Josh as I continue to wait for everyone to finish their food. By this point, Daniel was the only one who wasn't done, but, that's not really his fault, considering that his species wasn't really built to eat their food all too quickly, no birds really were, honestly. Spruce, somehow still ready to leave into the frozen wasteland that separated us from that village (which was probably a pretty cold place, as well), started to pace until Daniel finally finished his food, and, after that was over, he handed M a pastry for whatever reason. Maybe M didn't order anything by accident... wait... to mechanical pokemon still have to eat? That thought made me space out long enough to miss almost everyone leaving, so I tried to hurry to catch up to them... only to remember that I still wasn't all that fast. I went back into the bakery, and thankfully, Kamina was still there. ""Uh... hate to ask, but would you mind lowering your head, Kamina?"" I asked Kamina, waiting for him to do so.<br/><br/>Once that was decided, I (possibly and most likely on Kamina's head) headed off towards the forest that was described by the baker, which, of course, would put us closer to Keira, and closer to saving whoever sent that SOS message, as well. The forest was pitch-black despite it being noon everywhere else... what really made this strange was the fact that only evergreen trees could actually live in this sort of weather, and they didn't usually have the type of leaves that really darken a forest. I didn't have too much time to figure out why it was so dark in here, as soon after Spruce commented on the obvious difficulty, a snowstorm started brewing, and I tried to give Kamina directions on where I think Spruce might have run off to. ""Er... keep going! No, wait, take a right here... oh... no, we should have gone left, sorry!"" was about the gist of what I ended up saying. I had to yell, even though Kamina wasn't too far away, at least, I hoped he wasn't, due to the snowstorm picking up in both speed and loudness. I ended up in some sort of clearing, unsure as to whether Kamina was even with me or not.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>Terra gave Tini a look of confusion, and I had to add ""We'll also protect her from whatever else might try to attack her... don't worry about Tini, he's just a little... off,"" I then head off before realizing that I completely forgot her answer to Deravan's question, so I went back into the hotel, and repeated the question, only to get what I had to assume was the same answer ""Well... she was probably wearing her thick sweater, and a matching hat... oh, and her red scarf,"" I then start to leave, and Terra shouts ""SHORTS, TOO!"" before I really had a chance to get too far away from the place. I then wait for my teammates to gather, and I repeat everything ""So... as for places to find her, we've got the park, the restaurant, and the clothing store... I'd probably get lost if I tried to go anywhere else, so I'll take the clothing store... um... oh, and for clothing items, we've got a thick sweater, a warm hat, and a red scarf, so look for any treecko with those items... or just those items,"" I then start to head off before adding ""Oh, and, remember, we can use the badges to call any other teammate for help, so don't forget to use that option if you've found something,"" I then finally head off to the clothing store, which was mercifully close to the hotel... but... unfortunately, it was also packed with pokemon, to the point where there was a line just to get in. <br/><br/>Even if it wasn't a very big store, it still wasn't going to be easy trying to find a specific treecko in the place, given just how packed it was... and even then I had to wait in line, in this case, behind a snorlax, who was obviously a tourist. <span class=""bb-i"">Well, I GUESS this is better than trying to find my way to 'the center of town' or to some 'restaurant' that I didn't even know was around here...</span> I think as I simply wait for a while. After about a half an hour, I get the idea to tell the snorlax in front of me ""Uh... can I cut ahead of you, sir? I'm kind of on a mission,"" this only made the snorlax laugh, and say ""Yeah, sure, a fashion mission. I've been fooled by that before, and I'm not letting that happen again. You'll get there when you get there, missy,"" A larvitar lined up behind me, and tapped me on the shoulder asking ""Hey, can I cut ahead of you? I'm on a serious mission,"" I think for a moment, and eventually just decide to say ""Sorry, but if it's a fashion mission, then I can already tell you I'm on a more important one,"" I then continued to stand there... and wait... well, this wasn't very exciting.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>""Yeah, I guess so, but it wasn't really our job to read it, huh? Wow, what am I saying, I've never been one to just blindly follow rules, why the heck DIDN'T I read these during our mission?"" I say in response to Rebecca, who was looking over the papers for a while before holding them in a specific way. She then asked me about the void crystals and I say ""Well... yeah, I've heard of them. Apparently, they were made to keep Giratina locked in his dimension... if someone were to take even one, the void, our nickname for his dimension, would start spilling into this world. I have no idea what kind of effect that would have on the local pokemon, but it can't be positive,"" I actually heard about them from my mother, who heard about them once she took on the job of protecting the light orb... apparently a guardian has to know about all the weird, legendary, or powerful artifacts in the world. I wasn't surprised that something of that nature came up in the mystery dungeon report. What really got me was the 'square pokemon', which was on my mind when I said ""Hey... do you think we should try to talk to one of these 'wild' pokemon? I'm sure they'd have something to say about it all, or, at least they'd have something to say about the square pokemon from those reports,"" I then started heading out towards Sunswept Plains, that is, after making sure that Rebecca was following me. Thankfully, it was still noon when we left, even if we seemed to spend a lot of time just getting ready this time.<br/></div>"

We're isolated! And I certainly didn't get lost 'cause I still found you. And you."" And that wasn't a pun. That was sarcasm.<br/><br/>So, let me take you from the bakery to now. Spruce was kind enough to spare me the agony of hunger and hand me over some pastry. Needless to say, I was rather embarrassed, and... er, didn't know how to eat. I was still fairly new to this, but I figured out quickly I'd probably have to mash this into the only orifice I had.<br/><br/>Or not. As soon as I got into contact with some food, I ended up sucking out all the nutrients out of it. Like, an opaque red aura flowed from the pastry to myself, and before I knew it I was looking at a bunch of ashes on my magnets. I somehow felt full of energy and no longer hungry, despite that unorthodox display. Thankfully no one (aside from Anthony and Daniel) stuck around to see me do that, and I ended up thanking the bakery owners who also didn't seem to notice what had happened.<br/><br/>I actually felt quite lonely and mystified once everyone had left. I wanted to know what was going on with me, but who could I ask? For all I knew this was contagious. Maybe I was transforming. Maybe I was going crazy. And I knew I couldn't keep ignoring it, but my friends and team-mates seemed to do their best to ignore the problem themselves...<br/><br/>But, I figured that was because they were shitting themselves. As ventured forward into some dark mysterious place (OH GOD WHY AM I FOLLOWING SPRUCE OUT OF ALL POKEMON), my confusion turned to suspicion and paranoia. Something was definitely off. I liked the cold, the snow as we moved towards our end goal. However, this forest... this wasn't the forest we just came out of. (ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?!) All the snow seemed fake and the trees swayed like they had something to hide. Instead of the sun bouncing off the snow, it was dim lights and a sense of dread. This was not the place you'd want to be to hunt for Pokemon, because you'd be hunted yourself by... only Arceus knows. (WHAT. IS. THAT.)<br/><br/>By the time I realised we were probably stuck in one of those horrible situations, it was just me... and Spruce, unsurprisingly. Surprisingly, Daniel was around, and not lost with Anthony. How unfortunate. I was tempted to simply end him there, but I wasn't exactly willing to do it. Even as I kept changing in ways I never thought possible. No, I wasn't going to be swayed by what was happening with myself.<br/><br/>""Oh cool! We're isolated! With hooh! And I certainly didn't get lost 'cause I still found hooh. And hooh."" And that wasn't a pun. That was sarcasm- oh wait, never-mind. ""Ok, let me get this straight Daniel while we're alone and probably at each other's throat (and trust me, this forest is gonna make us go crazy before we know it)."" I raised a magnet at Daniel, who was busy eyeing at me and probably more embarrassed than actually annoyed with me. ""Me and Spruce aren't exactly very kind towards your own kind. Why haven't we tried to kill you yet? This is the PERFECT opportunity to do so, considering we can just blame your death/disappearance to the effects of this forest."" I knew I was slipping into a tirade. This moment nearly made me glad that I was bleeding out. For a moment there, I thought the forest was beginning to distort a bit, but that was just me... I believe. (DEAR ARCEUS. GET ME OUT OF HERE, NOW!) ""But no, we haven't. I still haven't tried to kill you because if that happens there won't BE a team. No 'I' in team after this, and therefore if we attack you-"" I jerked my magnet at Daniel, who was busy sitting in a tree and probably still thinking about possible ways of now killing me. ""-that'll be a giant catalyst for this team's divide. And CELES won't be on our side.""</div>"

In the end, it was too much for me to take, so I had to get rid of all the bitterness, all the hatred...but it wasn't easy, or quick. I wonder if they all believe I was always this upbeat? Perhaps, since none of them could even truly fathom the depths that my torment reached back in the sea, although I'd rather that none of them could even imagine such torture. It was as if the highest of authorities demanded that all who saw me go out of their way to send me deeper in the fridge pits of hell. And those Chinchous...those damn Chinchous...how they tortured me day after day. Even now I can still feel the scars left behind from their ruthless attacks. Truly, those were dark days.

Closing his eyes and shaking his head, he opened them back up to see everything back to normal 'damn, I thought I was over that' doing the best shrug he could without shoulders, he got up to leave the restaurant with the others, only to be stopped by Anthony who needed to get back on his head. Kamina being Kamina had no problem with this whatsoever.<br/><br/>With his new friend secure on his head, Kamina made his way to...wherever it was that they were going again (he honestly couldn't remember, but as lone as the others did, then he was fine) with the others close by.

I can see in the dark, and I can fly.

Daniel took this as his chance to use featherdance on the sneasel, covering the thing in soft feathers... and lowering its attack before it could reach M with its move. I tried to use another void whip on the sneasel, but... I flinched for some reason. Was it simply due to the pain caused by that ice shard from earlier, or was this sneasel holding some sort of flinch-causing item? Either way, I was reminded of the pain from before, particularly in my nose, where most of the move ended up hitting me.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>I was lost, but, at least with Kamina, I wasn't alone. Thankfully, his inner flame or whatever was enough to keep me warm, though, I had no idea why this particular gyrados was so warm... weren't they usually sea creatures, and weren't they usually water/flying types, NOT fire? I finally end up asking the question ""Hey, Kamina... why are you so warm? I mean, even when the snowstorm was up, you still felt warm to the touch, why the heck is that?"" I then continued to navigate until I heard someone, no, more accurately, until I heard Daniel shout ""CELES!? ANTHONY!? KAMINA!? JOSH!? MATT!?"" I found it odd that he didn't shout for either Spruce or M, but, then again, those two didn't really get along with him. ""Kamina, follow that voice!"" I shouted to him. If we could find Daniel, we could get him to find the rest of the team, and maybe even find an exit to this stupid forest. The shout was heard again, but, this time it was cut off with a squawk reminiscent of Archie's... we had to get over there quickly, else, I don't know what will happen to Daniel... especially in a frozen area such as this, which was bound to be home to more than its fair share of ice types... we had to hurry if we wanted Daniel's help, and I was certain that Kamina knew to hurry... he just probably didn't know how useful Daniel, specifically, would be.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>After waiting for what seemed like hours, and even playing a few card games with the snorlax and the larvitar, I finally get to the front of the line, and, more importantly, the building itself, which was packed full of pokemon of various species... unfortunately for me, said building also included a fair amount of tourists, which, of course, included several treecko and their own parents, save for one. I make my way to the lone treecko, only to notice that he looked familiar... yes, those blood stains on his eyes... but, what the heck was he doing here? Before I could ask Samuel what he was doing here, he vanished into the crowd again, and once the crowd dispersed, he was nowhere to be found. <span class=""bb-i"">Dang... well, I guess we'll never put the 'green' back into Team Green, huh?</span> I thought before I hear someone flying over me. I looked up to see the altaria who runs the shop, Amanda. ""Hello, there, Ms. Buneary!"" she said to me in a sort of singing voice. She then continued with ""What can I help you find, missy?"" I answer with ""Uh... OH! You can help me find a treecko... Terra's daughter, to be precise. I heard she likes to hang out around here, so, have you seen her?"" Amanda seems to think back to something, and answers with ""Yes, I have! She stopped by for a moment, and said that she was heading to the park afterwards. She had an unfamiliar charmander with her, too,"" I then stepped out of the building, and called Eralion's badge using my own. ""Eralion?"" I asked, waiting for him to answer. Once he did, I added ""I found some sort of clue... er... Amanda said that she saw our treecko earlier, and that she supposedly headed off to the park with a strange charmander... did you find anything at the park, yet?"" I then waited for another response from him, hoping that he found some sort of clue there.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>I simply nodded, and dashed off into Sunswept Plains in excitement. Finally, we were going to find out something about these mystery dungeons, and, sure, I might have lived in one my entire life, but even then I felt like I had no idea what caused them, or what happened in them. The sun was shining as bright as ever today, and some of the fuzzier pokemon seemed to be in trouble as a result, particularly, a mareep, who was barely keeping up with a litleo, and apparently trying its hardest not to overheat in the process. The litleo, of course, was messing around with his supposed friend when I just jumped right between the two. ""YOU THERE! Tell me about what weird things you see in these dungeons, in your own home!"" I shouted with... probably too much volume, as the mareep jumped back and answered ""I'm sorry, ms. scary nidoran, I... I don't know what you're talking about!"" I then looked at the litleo, as if he'd give me a better response, and he replied with ""We're... not wild pokemon anymore. We're a newer rescue team, erm... I don't really like our team name, though..."" the mareep then continued his sentence with a bit more enthusiasm than he did, answering ""We're Team Fluff! The fuzziest team on the roster!"" <span class=""bb-i"">Shoot... I thought those were wild pokemon! I mean... their exact species isn't exactly rare around here...</span> I think as the two show off their normal-rank badges. I then walk back to Rebecca, my mood having dropped since that mess up ""Uh... I messed up, Rebecca..."" I answer as the two from earlier start heading off to do whatever low-level mission they were doing here.<br/><br/>I then continued walking through the plains in hopes of finding some actual wild pokemon and not another rescue team that just happens to consist of species from this area, noting the somewhat wilted grass which would normally be healthy and green at this time of the year I then wait for just a moment, and notice parts of the ground completely change, as if something was shuffling pieces of the dungeon around... even if these were plains, and there really wasn't too much to see change, or shuffle, after all every part of this dungeon looks like the next and previous, I did notice Team Fluff suddenly reappear in front of me, looking bewildered. ""Hey... didn't we pass you a few minutes ago?"" the litleo asked me. I nodded, and said ""You just sort of... appeared here... how did that happen?"" I then finally find another litleo, this one probably NOT a part of another rescue team, and I head off towards that one, effectively ending my conversation with Team Fluff, and once I get to the litleo, I repeat ""YOU THERE! Tell me about what weird things you see in these dungeons, in your own home!"" not exactly being cautious, and not even making an effort to not scare the litleo, who answered me with an ember attack on my face... unfortunately.</div>"

She could hear a voice in the distance, but was unable to identify exactly where it was coming from. She sighed as she sat down, thinking. She then got her badge out.

He was about to go into more detail, when suddenly he heard a voice calling out. Before he could say or do anything in response, Anthony cried out for him to hurry to the voice's location. ""Hold on tight, I'll be going as fast as I can"" and indeed he did. Granted, as a creature without legs, it wasn't fast enough to shake the smaller Dragon off, but he wasn't going slow either. Once Kamina and his passenger were within sight of Anthony's friend (the one Spruce seemed to have some sort of issue with for reasons Kamina didn't fully understand), he saw another Sneasel attacking Spruce (who was also there, along with M) ""GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!""

That tirade earlier? I just... I just wanted to know. If Daniel was with Desia, he would have probably laughed and began attacking us, in an attempt to split the group apart and blame it on the more suspicious half. Probably could've fled in the chaos and get a promotion from Desia or something. Considering Daniel still wasn't willing to attack us... either he was a coward or he really wasn't a part of some big conspiracy to take over the world. He offered to be our guide - I didn't agree with him helping us, but I also didn't object. At this point, it was hard to convince even myself that he was still Desia's minion. Maybe a spy, but... even a spy would've taken the opportunity to end us.<br/><br/>I got a slight headache while Spruce glared at Daniel, who at this point seemed to have had enough of us. He wasn't angry, just disappointed. I could tell through all the shroud and snow that he probably wanted to give up by now, because I would've lashed out if I was confronted like this. As Daniel flew to act as a guide, I kept a stern face and struggled to get through the wind, which seemed to have grown in strength. I decided enough was enough, and hovered side-by-side with Spruce. He still seemed convinced Daniel was out to get us, but with all these opportunities... it just didn't seem as if he was Desia's minion. ""Spruce."" I croaked, clearing my mouth and calling out his name normally. Chances were that Daniel wouldn't hear us in this horrible weather. ""That was just a gambit to see whether or not Daniel wanted to see this group fall apart. It didn't work, and with all these lost opportunities-"" I avoided a tree branch, jumping over and clearing freezing snow away from my eye. ""-I'm starting to think he's telling the truth."" Spruce didn't seemed fazed, but that was because everything just stood still. Suddenly, Spruce almost did a backflip, ice shattering and crystal shards flying around in the air like dust. ""Ok, you son of a bitch-"" I assumed Daniel heard me and actually decided to finally attack me. Problem was, could birds even flick ice at Pokemon? (DAMN. IT. CAN WE JUST STOP?!)<br/><br/>""-not you Daniel!"" Alarmingly, we were ambushed by a reckless Sneasel, ready to pounce at us. Spruce was recovering and getting up, but as I tried to help the damned Sneasel tricked me into thinking he had punched me. Then he quickly clawed at me, missing but making me stumble in the air. As if the weather wasn't already horrible, I was blown into a thick dry tree and struggled to regain composure, the impact making me light-headed. ""Oh, for Arceus'..."" I spat onto a dead bush (somehow), facing the Sneasel again and casting a branch of lightning which boomed through the air and struck the Sneasel, making it amusingly dance briefly before throwing another shard of ice at me.<br/><br/>I anticipated this and simply swatted the shard of ice away, knowing ice was essentially a joke towards me. What I DIDN'T anticipate was Kamina and Anthony (on top of Kamina's head) appearing behind the Sneasel as soon as I blinked, spitting flaks of fire at the Sneasel's back. It got distracted and hissed at Kamina, ready to pounce once more; I raised my eyelid, unsure whether or not fire was exactly appropriate in this snowy environment. What? You got make a fire in a blizzard then. Either way, that Sneasel was screwed, and was just wasting its time against us. Hopefully we found Celes and the others before they had their own nasty encounters.</div>"

He soon passed over some plains, the breeze feeling good on him as he flew, and he looked around at the expanse of grass.<br/><br/>It was has he looked around that he noticed the ground didn't seem to... stay the same? He would continue flying, assuming it was his mind playing tricks on him from flying for so long. Eventually, he realized that the plains didn't seem to end, and flew lower to examine the ground. Other than the grass being a little dry, he didn't notice anything different. Landing, he decided to walk for a bit to give his wings a rest.<br/><br/>After a bit of walking he spotted some pokemon in the distance, seeming to be talking. As he got closer one of them, a Nidoran, ran up to yet another pokemon and seemed to say something to it. Then said pokemon attacked her.

Partially because it made her hair feel nice and warm, and also because the area was actually staying true to it’s name, unlike the deluge that greeted her the last time she visited. Nevertheless, her smile was soon removed when Nina proved that she had very little nuance when it came to interrogation, managing to scare some pokemon that weren’t even “wild” in the first place. Hopefully they wouldn’t go back to the guild and gossip about that...<br/><br/>    “It’s fine,” Rebecca said with a smile when she confesses that she did indeed mess up, “It’s just another chance to improve, right?” She let Nina take the lead, noting that she at least seemed to know how to navigate. The terrain seemed to shift in an increasingly bizarre way, to the point that they bumped into the exact same team that Nina had tried to get info out of earlier, which was kind of creepy when she thought about it. Would it even let them leave? Probably not, if they didn't have those badges... She guessed it explained why pokemon needed help getting out of these places. Nevertheless, Nina proved that she really didn't learn too much from the last encounter with a ""wild"" pokemon by shouting the exact same thing in it's face. It responded in much the same way before Rebecca could lecture her about it, spraying a bunch of flaming hot embers in the Nidoran's face. Things escalated even further when a Rufflet suddenly swooped down from the skies and smacked the offending Litleo in the face. Deciding to use the opportunity to her advantage, Rebecca used Confusion to lift the Litleo into the air before slamming it back into the ground.</div>"

I then heard M explain how Daniel might not be working for Desia, how Daniel, at least up to this point had more than enough opportunities to destroy us, and more than enough cover to do so without being blamed for it. I looked at Daniel, taking M's words into consideration, and he looked back as if hopeful that I might finally accept him as a temporary team member. I finally break the silence with ""Uh... nice attack... thanks for finishing off that sneasel. Maybe... you're not evil, and maybe not all shadow pokemon are evil... sorry I was a jerk,"" well, he sure seemed happy after I said that, even if I said it somewhat begrudgingly, and Anthony, for the first time in a while, didn't complain about anything. ""So... almost everyone's here, right? Where's Celes, though? Did either of you see her?"" Anthony shook his head, saying ""Not a trace since the snowstorm, sorry,"" I then look over to Daniel, who started flying up in the air once more, and I followed him, once more through the snow... though, it was somehow more tolerable than it was last time...<br/><br/>	I continued letting Daniel lead me through the forest, with him continuing to shout ""CELES, JOSH, MATT!"" as I tried and thankfully succeeded at tracking him. I then hear someone from deeper in the forest... ""Barry? Is that you? I'm STILL LOST HERE!"" that... didn't sound a thing like Celes. Just as well, as the voice apparently belonged to a very skinny, very crazy-looking arcanine, who jumped right at us, shouting ""YOU'RE NOT BARRY! Wait... you must be MORE CRAZY, LOST POKEMON IN THE FOREST! Good... 'cause I'm HUNGRY!"" I jump back just to try to put some sort of distance between myself and the fire dog, but that proved to be a mistake, as he instantly caught up and used Fire Fang on me... or, at least, he would have if Daniel didn't get in the way. Daniel took this opportunity to use another shadowy tackle against the thing while I used void whip, though... the attacks didn't really seem to do nearly as much as they did to the sneasel... and as soon as he was done trying to attack me, he seemed to set his eyes on M, probably knowing that he'd be just as weak to his fiery attacks as I was. The fact that M started growing feathers probably didn't help him look unappetizing, evidently, as the arcanine started running right towards M, mumbling something about turkeys, and chickens while he licked his teeth.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Hurt from Kamina's ember, as well as a few other attacks, the sneasel was finished off with a Shadow Charge from Daniel, which seemed to finally evoke some sort of feeling of gratitude in Spruce, as that seemed to make him finally admit that Daniel wasn't evil, and that Spruce was being a jerk by, well, being a big jerk to him. <span class=""bb-i"">Wow... this could be some sort of momentous occasion... but, he's only really known Daniel for a day. Ah, well, at least Spruce doesn't hate him anymore.</span> I thought as the snowstorm started to die down. Spruce asked me if I knew where Celes was, and I answered honestly with ""Not a trace since the snowstorm, sorry,"" after that, Spruce was off, following Daniel for some reason... wait... maybe it was just because Daniel can fly, as well as see in the dark. Yes, even with the snowstorm finally gone, it wasn't all that easy to see in this place, just due to the darkness, an element that Daniel was more than familiar with. Kamina probably followed the group, most likely because he didn't want to lose his friends and teammates again, and I just stayed on his head, not exactly wanting to slither around in the snow... of course, it didn't seem like Kamina actually noticed the snow, or even cared. I then thought about how weird it was that snow was able to get through the trees, but light somehow wasn't... perhaps all the snow on the ground just fell from the trees whenever a wind blew, and never melted due to the low temperatures... no, that had to be the explanation.<br/><br/>	We all continued through the forest until we met up with a somewhat crazy-looking arcanine who was apparently looking for his friend 'Barry'... or some food, whichever came first, he apparently wasn't too picky. The irony of it all was the fact that he attacked all of us after accusing US of being crazy... well... then again, Kamina, but he was still crazier, and more dangerous, as he instantly tried to take a bite out of Spruce, however, Daniel decided to get in the way of that attack, and he even countered the attack with one of his own, just as Spruce used a weird variation on a vine whip on the guy... who seemed oddly unfazed by the attacks. The crazy canine then ran right towards M, fire filling his mouth as he licked his teeth. I actually intercepted the attack this time, jumping off of Kamina's head, and right between M and the arcanine, taking the hit... and literally using counter on the beast, who staggered backwards from what was essentially his own power launched back at him. ""Look... we know you're lost, but attacking us isn't going to help! We're a part of a rescue te-"" I got cut off by the arcanine shouting ""RESCUE TEAM!? OH NO! THEY FOUND OUT!"" he then started running around in circles shouting ""BARRY! THEY FOUND US! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!"" which made about as much logical sense as me headbutting a tree just so I can eventually break the tree... and stop headbutting it.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	""Restaurant, right! I'll... um... find a way to get there!"" I sad via badge before Eralion stopped communication. I then shoved my way through what could essentially be a pokemon ocean at this point, and finally make it out of the clothing shop... only to remember that I can never find my way around this accursed city. I felt like shouting some random swear word into the sky, but then I remembered that most of the city's population likes to hang out there, and might think that said swear was an insult directed at them... making them, most likely a powerful dragon mad at me, a pathetically weak bunny, so I held my tongue, and just started heading in a direction where I think I saw a restaurant. The rock maze confused me again, and I ended up in what could only be described as a 'bad' part of town. I kept an eye out for any potential criminals... mainly so I could avoid them, and managed to avoid most of them until I finally let my guard down... only to get surprised by, of all things, an encyclopedia salespokemon. ""Hi! Have I shown you my amazing prices!?"" the salespokemon shouted at me just when I was on edge from being surrounded by criminals who could slice me in half if it would make them money... this... prompted me to make the dumbest of mistakes, and simply had me run away from the salespokemon screaming ""GO AWAY, THIEEEEFFFF!"" all while a family watched. I probably just made that innocent pokemon suffer a huge drop in sales due to me still being a bit of a coward.<br/><br/>	I ran out of energy to run right in front of some apartment complex, and I notice a billboard for a breakfast place, which was apparently not exactly far away from me... the sign was convenient enough to point me in the right direction, as well. I wearily walked over to the place, which had a sign depicting a smiling dragonite holding a spatula in one hand, and a plate with several pancakes stacked onto it in another. <span class=""bb-i"">I hope this is the place... I've already had too much of this city for one day.</span> I think as I open the restaurant, only to see Tini, as well as a dragonite that seemed to resemble him in some eerie way. ""I'm... here... Tini... whew... sorry, I can't ever find my way around this city. I think I might have just ran around the entire city just to get here,"" I nearly collapsed into a nearby chair, exhausted. After catching my breath, I finally get the nerve to ask ""So, is there any reason why you have a sort of eerie resemblance to my friend, Tini, ma'am?"" I then point to the dragonair who was sitting in his chair in a weird way, but, how else are you going to sit when you're a snake, right? I noticed that the lights were unusually dim everywhere but near Tini, creating this weird spotlight effect that you'd normally see in detective comics... of course, those were usually in black and white, as well.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	The litleo ran off after getting slammed into the ground with Rebecca's psychic powers, and I turned back towards her. ""Alright... I'm not the best at this... how do we get them to not attack us?"" I asked her, almost sheepishly, knowing that my way was probably never going to get results, but, then again, I knew why... sort of. I was shouting, and to a wild pokemon that usually just means anger. I then remembered the random rufflet that decided to join in on the fight, and I walk up to him and say ""Oh, and, thanks for your help. You're not a wild pokemon, are you? Er... either way, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Nina, and this is Rebecca,"" I then look back at Rebecca, as if to point her out to the newcomer. I then recall that we lost a few team members, though, I felt as if Rebecca should offer membership to him, not me. I start sort of looking around, noticing a few wild pokemon run off as soon as I met their gaze. <span class=""bb-i"">Come on... I know wild pokemon are easy to scare, but I'm not a ghost, or some all-powerful pokemon... ugh, my mistakes are going to make this mission that much more annoying, aren't they? I started yelling at them, and now they won't touch our team with a twenty-foot pole.</span> I think as I try looking around to find a group of wild pokemon that don't run away from us on sight. Even after ten minutes of doing that, as well as listening to whatever conversation was going on at the time, I still couldn't find any that stayed put, or even approached us. Team Fluff passed by us again, looking even more confused than last time, and, like the first time, I almost mistook them for wild pokemon. Fortunately, I stopped myself before making THAT mistake again.</div>"

I wish I knew though."" she says, before getting her badge out to communicate with the others.<br/>""Guys... if your hearing this, Josh is with me at the moment, we are behind a big tree, protecting ourselves from the shivering winds of this place. This place is so god dang cold... Who the heck would willingly want to go here in the first palce appart from ice types, or maybe ghost types."" she says, shivering a bit. If only she were to have evolved into a vaporeon or flareon of glaceon, the cold would have bothered her less, but with this... This was really much more of a pain then anything. Her dang ribbons felt like they would break from a slight impact with how cold it was here. Her whole body felt slightly numb right now.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion breath deeply before going to head to the restaurant also, though he was having some problems getting there. As he walked by, he heard one guy, a Gabite, with a strange large book in his hands.<br/>""Sir, would you be interested in one of our fine Encycl..."" he had the time to say, before Eralion responded.<br/>""No I do not have time to talk about encyclopedia's, and I am not interested into one. Trust me when I say that if I were to buy one, my friend would probably blow a fuse and destroy it."" he says before runnning off, leaving the Gabite with a large confused look in his face. What the heck was that all about.<br/>Eralion continue moving, before getting in front of the restaurant after having: A. Gotten lost and ended up in the spa section of town, luckily not accidentally entering the woman's spa. B. Slipping on something and falling right on a goodra and in a result being covered in slime. C. Heading to the nearest water source to clean the slime off. D. Fall again and almost fall right into a goomy, but being quick enough and landing close to it. E. Find a bill board with the wrong restaurant and almost going face first into a sliggoo while opening the door....<br/>Anyway... He entered the restaurant, moving where Bonnie and Tini already. He breath deeply.<br/>""Remember me to watch my dang steps in this city..."" he says, breathing deeply, continuing to move and... slip right into a chair next to Bonnie, he looks at his feel, and frown. Goodra slime.<br/>""Dang it... I though I remove that dang slime. So many goomy line evolutions here."" he says in a low voice, before going and sitting down.</div>"

Because of this, he decided to bear the brunt of his attacks. Charging at the other Fire Type, Kamina used his massive girth to force the other Pokemon to the ground. While the Arcanine couldn't do much damage to him, the reverse was also true; since his only offensive attacks were Fire Type, there wasn't much he could do to harm him. However, unlike the other Pokemon, Kamina wasn't alone. As long as he held the Arcanine, the others could damage it enough to end this fight. ""I'll hold him here.

""But it's just so exciting to met my baby boy's little friends. Ohhhhh, come here!"" he flew over the counter and scooped up his son, as well as Bonnie and Eralion into a big hug.

I think something bad was supposed to happen.<br/><br/>(...) Well, at least we made peace with Daniel. I still personally felt as if Daniel would... you know, betray us. I think those thoughts just came from this unnatural, demonic forest. It was only minutes ago we were treating our only guide as a minion of our greatest enemy. Yet, we're still missing Celes and the others, and really only Daniel could help get them. Either way, Spruce seemed convinced on Daniel working for us rather than Desia, apologising. I remained quiet, considering I was still catching breath from our last battle with the damned Sneasel. This place was horror, and I could tell that despite how I liked the cold the others didn't. It was my first time experiencing such wonderful weather, but when it made everyone look miserable and shiver, you begin to question how good it really is.<br/><br/>Something was still wrong. This whole forest was wrong, of course. An Arca... well, a fire dog (who probably shouldn't been able to survive in this place) leapt right out of the shadows after proclaiming his supposed innocence, dealing with everyone head on and eyeing me like I was... food. ""Oh, for Arceus' sake..."" (I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS.) I braced for impact, closing my eyes and trying to hover as high as possible given the amount of time I had before being hit.<br/><br/>And then, it happened. Not once, but twice. Anthony stepped in to block and counter the dog's move, getting slammed right into a tree and thrown to speeds he'd never experienced. That dog seemed VERY bent on trying to eat me or something, something seemingly impossible but very much threatening since he was a damned fire type. Kamina also stepped in, blocking the... Arcanine for long as possible and not giving in to the Pokemon's ferocity.<br/><br/>""Well, thank the lord!"" Something I'd probably never say considering I never really liked Kamina, in all honesty. But, I guess what he did previously and now was enough for me to praise something. It was also somewhat wrong since it meant I was just some sitting duck (not a pun) constantly being shielded, but...<br/><br/>Eh. Flying against the wind, I almost struggled to gain some height. However, I needed to do this so that I wouldn't have to shock Kamina just to hit the crazed Arcanine. Rubbing my magnets together, I prepared for a bolt of lightning to burst from my hands, spinning them in opposing directions and letting loose a cascade of electric attacks directed at the Arcanine, before he could try to get past Kamina's long and over-reaching body.<br/></div>"

Still he felt he needed to introduce himself as well, and make it clear he wasn't wild. ""I'm not a wild pokemon, my name is Talon."" He landed and looked between the two, expecting one or the other, likely Nina, to have something else to say or a question to ask.</div>"

I think if you said something like ‘excuse me, we have some questions and we’d be delighted if you could answer them’, you’d seem to be a lot more approachable, you know?” She watched the other wild pokemon run off at the sight of her team, eventually turning to Talon before she began to dig around in her bag for her spare badges.<br/><br/>	“For example,” Rebecca demonstrated, referring to Nina before speaking directly to the Rufflet, “We could really use another member on Team Crescendo, and you seem like you’d be pretty good at this line of work. Would you be interested in joining us?” She eventually managed to produce a badge, twirling around once before holding it out to him. She wasn’t quite sure where she kept getting all of those things, but she decided it was probably best to not overthink it as long as she was able to find them whenever she needed to, which seemed to be the case.</div>"

I smirked at this, and used void whip on the arcanine, who tried and failed to use another attack against me... he actually failed at attacking so badly that I had no idea what attack he was using, other than the fact that it had something to do with fire, as his mouth was filled with it shortly after my attack. ""Hey, thanks, Anthony, and Kamina,"" I say to the two of them before getting some sort of call on my badge. It was very windy wherever she was, but I did figure out that it was, in fact, Celes. ""Guys... ... your ... this, Josh is ... ... at the ..., we are ... a big tree, protecting ... from the ... winds of this .... This ... is so god ... cold... Who the ... would willingly ... to go ... in the ... place ... from ice ..., or maybe ... types,"" if I were to take the call at face value, given how much of it was cut off, I would be very confused, though, I already knew that Celes WASN'T a tree, they might be hiding behind a tree to protect themselves from the cold... and they weren't doing a good job of protecting themselves from the wind. I send a message over to Celes using the badge, as well, saying, ""Er, alright, Celes, we're going to try to find you... we're kinda in the middle of a fight right now, though. Some crazy arcanine who tried to eat me and M. We've got it under control 'cause Anthony and Kamina are with us, and they can deal with a fire type, no problem,"" while I was talking with Celes, Daniel decided to shadow tackle the arcanine, who still couldn't get a decent hit in on anyone, and was angrier for it.<br/><br/>	""BARRY! LET GO OF ME! I NEED TO FIGHT!"" the arcanine shouted at Kamina, possibly reminded of his friend. He then added ""Barry... I don't care that I stole all the trail mix... I needed that stuff more than you did, alright? You could have told me that you liked the qualot pieces, then I might have left you some! JUST LET ME FIGHT THE FRESH MEAT, I'll even cook them for you!"" oddly, he was still talking to Kamina. ""Look... they're a rescue team anyways, they KNOW about our little con game back in Allure, they're here to TURN US IN! BARRY, I NEED TO GET RID OF THESE GUYS!"" he then switched to talking to a nearby tree saying ""Ricky, stay out of this, this doesn't involve you! It involves me, Barry, my trail mix, and that rescue team,"" the tree swayed slightly in the wind, and he barked at it, and once he finished with that, he shouted ""RICKY! I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS! You're supposed to be back in Allure, anyways! GO BACK TO ALLURE, RICKY!"" he then started barking at random things, all while trying to use flamethrower on whatever unfortunate tree, rock, or patch of snow that he thought might have offended him in some way, shape or form, all while shouting, and naming each and every one. Oddly, he seems to have almost forgotten that he was in a fight, not that remembering would do him any good, given that Kamina has him completely stuck in place. Out of nowhere, a barboach appears, and uses water pulse on M, probably trying to confuse him. The thing tried to speak, but I couldn't understand what language he was using, at all.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	After essentially saving Spruce and M, I try to use bubble, only to use some weird attack that somehow produced a bunch of muddy water, sending that at the arcanine, which seemed to do a lot more than bubble would have. I then tried to tackle the arcanine while Spruce was talking into his badge, but, something seemed different about this tackle, actually, it seemed more like a body slam, which the arcanine didn't appreciate much, as it also seemed to be paralyzed from my attack. Just as well, as the moment Spruce stopped talking to his badge, he tried to attack the arcanine, and might have only succeeded in doing so because the thing was paralyzed. The arcanine started talking again, thinking that Kamina was his lost friend, Barry, who he apparently had a falling out with over some trail mix, and some qualot pieces in said mix... at first, I thought his friend might have also been a gyrados, seems likely, as the arcanine also explained that he was a conman back in Allure, however, that theory was blown out of the water once he started talking to a tree, calling it Ricky, and talking to the tree as if it were his friend, and not just an immobile plant. He got even angrier at 'Ricky' until he started using flamethrower on any rock, dirt patch, or snowy patch of ground that looked at him funny in his head. Thankfully, none of the things he used flamethrower on were M or Spruce, the two things that would be vulnerable to such an attack. Just when I thought that this battle was over, a barboach appeared, and used water pulse on M, and unfortunately, I was too slow to get in the way of the attack.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	I was almost instantly picked up by Tini's father, and posed in some weird way. I would have fought against him doing what he did, but I had almost no energy after getting here. Several pictures were taken of the entire team, minus anyone who might have been around to give it the name of 'Team Green'. Once the pictures were done, I finally asked ""So... have you seen Terra's daughter around here? She were last seen heading to this exact restaurant, accompanied by a charmander,"" I asked the question with all the energy of a rock, given that it was around lunchtime and I haven't had anything to eat, not to mention the running. <span class=""bb-i"">Well, now I know where Tini gets his excitability from...</span> I think as I try to pry myself from Tini's... er... I guess hug? Again, though, my efforts proved futile, as I really didn't have the energy to do much other than ask that single question. A few moments later, a strange pokemon entered the restaurant, and the strangest part was the fact that he was wearing a trench coat, and some sort of trilby, which covered most of him, her, or it. ""Yeah, I'll have the daily special,"" the strange pokemon said to Tini's father in a very deep, masculine voice. His eyes, the only thing I could really see of him seemed to dart around the place, as if he was searching for someone... or trying to stay away from them. He noticed me, and seemed to focus on my badge before adding ""Hey, bub, couldya make it quick? I gotta get outta here, and fast,"" he said that in a very rushed manner, and, not to mention he sounded very rude when he said that.<br/><br/>	I look over to Eralion, and whisper ""I think that's our guy... did you see the way he looked at my badge? Not to mention his clothes... he's very suspicious,"" obviously, given our proximity, Tini heard that, too, but, it didn't seem like our suspect heard a single word of what I said, even if he seemed to glare at me for a moment before his food came. Afterwards, he simply dashed, not even bothering to pay. ""AFTER HIM!"" I shouted to both Eralion and Tini, though, Tini's father most likely heard that, as well. I then finally got out of Tini's latest hug, and managed to dash off towards where the mystery pokemon was fleeing to. Oddly, he seemed a bit unbalanced on two legs, and stopped that act altogether after dashing for a few blocks. I eventually make it to a warehouse, at the edge of town, where the villain seemed to disappear into. I look around to make sure everyone was here, and, if they weren't, I simply called them using my badge and told them where I was, and why I was there. I then waited to make absolute sure that everyone was there, and after everyone was gathered up, I entered the warehouse, where a skuntank wearing the same trilby as the mystery pokemon, a koffing, and a zubat can be seen talking to a treecko that had to be Terra's daughter, and a charmander, both of whom were too scared to move. I tried to sneak by them, and managed to attack the koffing from behind with frustration, knocking him forwards, and causing him to shout ""HEY, BOSS! We're under attack!"" the other two turned to see me, and the skuntank laughed for a bit, and said ""I knew you were going to be trouble... but, because you're all alone, I guess we just got ourselves another hostage, boys!""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	From Rebecca's example, I figured out that, yes, I was being way too loud, and a little too direct with the wild pokemon, a few of whom still feared my team for some odd reason. She then gave Talon, the rufflet a badge of his own. No matter what, he'll probably contribute more than our previous team members did. Heck, it seemed like all they did was get lost, or just somehow disappear forever. Odd, then, that I was the only one who didn't, well, other than our leader, Rebecca, that is. I continued my search for wild pokemon until I finally came across a group of them, a buneary, and a mareep, both of whom were just wandering around. I approached them slowly, and, in a much kinder tone than before, asked ""Would you two wild pokemon be interested in answering a few questions?"" they looked at each other... until the buneary answered with ""Yes, what are your questions?"" I looked back at Rebecca, wondering if she knew what I was supposed to do after this. I never got this far in this before. It quickly became apparent that just looking back at my team wasn't going to help me at all, and I eventually asked ""So... I've heard some reports about wild pokemon... um... do you see weird things that should be there?"" the buneary gives me a look as if I've just grown wings, and takes a few steps back as if I was a complete loon. The mareep had since wandered off somewhere, and after a few moments, the buneary started looking for her possible teammate, or possible friend. ""Uh... what's that look for?"" I asked the buneary who started to run off, and I started chasing after her.<br/><br/>	A quick run through the plains later, I manage to catch up to her, again, and she says the weirdest thing... ""IT said I should be quiet about it, I can't tell anyone! I WON'T TELL ANYONE! If I do... IT will do.... whatever IT does to its traitors. You know... I heard that the litleo you were fighting used to be a mareep... a female mareep. I don't WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I TELL!"" now it was my turn to take a few steps away from the loony bin, and, thankfully, I managed to hit the record button on my badge before this weird conversation started. ""Uh... just calm down, relax a bit, and if this ""IT"" you're talking about attacks, I'll be here to help, okay?"" that seemed to calm the buneary down a bit, and had her continue ""I see it... I hear its voice... IT... looks like a bunch of weird squares that fade in and out of my vision... its voice tells me to attack anyone who comes near me, even now I hear it telling me that you're a threat, that I should attack you, or pay the price,"" she then uses pound on me, and I finally stop recording, though, I feel a little conflicted attacking back, given that I now know the exact reason, that this buneary is no longer in control of her own actions, or, at least, has less control over her actions than the average pokemon who's a part of a rescue team. I then looked around for my team, and realize that I've left them behind again, well, at least I got some information on this... whatever it is.</div>"

She frowned and shivered a bit more, hoping for all in the world that they would finish whatever fight they were in and come try to save her and Josh. This cold was really getting bad. She then though about something... She opened her bag and smiled. Her old shadow light suit was still there. She took it out and then started to go and put it on, aiming to cut the cold up a bit. Well, no use hiding that she had this or that she was Shadowlight. At least that suit would protect her slightly from these dang winds and snow a bit.<br/>""Can't believe I have to wear this dang thing again."" she says. It had a rather tight fit to say the least, but at least she was less at risk of tuning into ice.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion was a bit surprised by the sudden hug from Tini and the photo's from the father, but soon Bonnie noticed a shady person entering the restaurant. When she yelled that this was our suspect, Eralion ran full speed to fallow, before stopping at the werehouse, and looking at it. Well, this was it. As he enters, he saw the treecko that was probably Terra's daughter and a charmeleon. He quickly used bullet punch on the skuntank, before using the back force from the punch to flip in the air and land.<br/>""Do you really think she is alone?"" he says, in battle position right there. It was time to fight these dang crooks. A skuntank, a koffing and a zubat. Well, if only someone in the team could use psychic attacks, this would have been easier. Oh well, he knew they had to do with what they had.<br/>""Picking on childrens and taking them as hostages. Shame on you! Shame!"" he says, ready to take a attack and use counter at the moment.

Whatever it was, they would probably be occupied for a while before they could start looking.<br/><br/> They had to find a way to stay warm. The tree blocked the wind, but that wouldn't be enough. Building a fire would be their best option.<br/>""Hey Celes, we need to build a fire, or something."" Josh said. ""It might take a while for the others to find us, and besides blocking the wind a little, this tree isn't doing much.""<br/>He began looking for weak branches in some of the trees nearby.

""Yeah, thanks all of you."" I said, following Spruce's move to thank everyone currently with us. I was still wondering what was to become of the rest of our group, stretching and yawning after that fight. I was surprised when Spruce managed to actually get a call on his badge - mainly because my badge was worn and probably broken from a short circuit. I could probably fix that by sending enough voltage through it, though now wasn't exactly the time to do so.<br/><br/>Actually... why is that Arcanine still alive and kicking? I thought I just saw him... Oh no. This forest was starting to play on our minds, as if it already hadn't done that. My dark thoughts were now replaced by false ones... which may say more about me than what I'd like to admit. Oh well, so long as I don't mention my thoughts any longer... ""I think it's time we start leaving, 'cause we're gonna get swarmed by these psychopaths!""<br/><br/>Sure enough, that Arcanine was so crazy that he started fighting his own mind. Oh, if only we had a psychic around to calm these things down... no matter, simply beating them into submission was good enough. ""Woah, Arceus!"" I didn't know what it was, but I clearly feel from the rush of air that something BIG was going to impact me. I turned around to see Anthony falling on his face while a huge blob of water knocked me down onto the snow. ""Oh, for..."" Thankfully I was able to recover from that, but I was facing off against a... Barboach, whatever it was called. But, here's the scary part: that thing's immune to most of my attacks. ""Guys, I would appreciate some backup here, please!"" All I could do was start slimming down and stretch once more, this time so that I'd have a chance to dodge a majority of his attacks.</div>"

Even we can’t have an orchestra of conductors, you know?” She shrugged, deciding not to judge Talon even if she didn't really understand his reasoning, and looked around for Nina, realizing that she’d left a little while ago. Why could none of them try to stick together, especially in a place as strange as this?<br/><br/>	“But yeah,” Rebecca continued. “We should go find Nina. Splitting up in this creepy place seems like an all-around terrible idea.” Making sure that Talon was actually following her, she tried to follow Nina’s footsteps, proceeding in the same direction that her friend had left from.

I'm not here to hurt you, I just want some information... there's no need to attack me,"" this, oddly enough, works, and the buneary ends up responding with ""I...information... well... IT won't like this but... I have no other choice, IT already hates me, now... I've always heard from... it, that... it's ....u....p... a...b..-"" she suddenly stopped, as it was getting harder for her to say it by the letter, and she attacked yet again, though, I managed to dodge. ""Please, fight that thing's voice in your head, I know you can... you've done it before,"" I turned off my badge's recording function and she continued to fight, though I managed to dodge the attack, and tried to calm her down again with ""I won't hurt you... that thing, though, it will... who do you trust more, me, or that voice in your head?"" She finally stopped attacking, and gave me some time to rest, though, she didn't want to say anything more about her 'friend' or, rather, the voice that she kept hearing, but, she seemed to manage her urges to fight me, and started hopping around the place, picking flowers. I didn't really feel like joining in, as I felt like I needed to be on my guard, at least until Rebbecca gets back, that is. I then look behind me to see her approaching, as slow as usual, but at least I didn't need her here right at this moment. That all changed when I saw something forming behind the buneary.... something otherworldly, something sinister.<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">YoU aRe NoT wElCoMe HeRe... LeAvE tHiS pLaCe...</span> that voice, interlaced between the words 'kill' and 'die' just randomly invaded my head, and, considering Rebbecca wouldn't play that kind of joke on me, I had to look around the area to try to find the source... what I found can't be described as anything biology would ever make, even if it was drunk. It looked like a whiteboard someone doodled on, and then took a perfectly rectangular bite out of, and it was tall... I looked like an ant by comparison. The buneary, still unaware of the thing, looked at me with a confused face, as I was just frozen to the spot, overcome with fear. ""What's wrong, Ms. Nido?"" she asks me, making me just point behind her. She looks back, and instantly runs away. ""REBBECCA! WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!"" I shout to Rebbecca, still unable to actually flee just from the sight of the thing. Of course, that was just when I figured out how slow this thing was, and then I finally convinced myself that I'd just be able to outrun it, easily, so, I did just that, running back to Rebbecca. I then try to use my badge to teleport away, but... something seems to be messing with it... I pressed the button, but nothing happened, save for the sound of static. ""What... IS that thing, Rebbecca?"" I then ask her, still scared and confused at the grey, pink, red and white monolith that was somehow both alive, and ready to attack us... worse, still, the thing started to glow, meaning it was probably preparing some huge attack... something I didn't want to stick around for.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	""Right,"" I said to M, knowing that I had a huge type advantage against the barboach. I then ran up to the thing, and tried to use vine whip against, it, but, just as I did, the wind kicked up again, and flung me off to my right, making my attack miss. The thing then used ice beam, of all things, against me, somehow managing to actually freeze me in place... that's no good. The Arcanine was still spouting craziness from his mouth at every opportunity, but he laughed as if he was a hyena rather than a dog as soon as I got frozen. Getting frozen is, honestly, the absolute worst thing possible. You can't move, and the only thing you can feel is the oppressive, frigid cold ALL over your body, not to mention, you can't even scream for help, or teleport out of here because, again, you can't move an inch, no matter what you're trying to move, or how you're trying to move it. I tried to call for help, but, again, I couldn't move anything, I couldn't even manage a simple noise, not even a hiss, thanks to the block of ice that I was frozen in. Worse, still is that I can see EVERYTHING, and that I'm still conscious through this whole thing. The barboach just floated there, laughing slightly at what he's just done, and, knowing that I can't do anything, he starts taunting me, or, at least I think he was taunting me, as it was pretty difficult to hear anything in this block of ice, though, I'm not sure that HE knew I couldn't hear what he was saying, as he just kept yammering on to someone who he knew couldn't talk back to him... which made me a little afraid for his mental health.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Pretty much the moment M asked for some help, Spruce rushed in to try to hit the barboach with a vine whip... which would have knocked the thing out were it not for the wind conditions making him miss his attack. What happened after that was ten times worse, as the barboach managed to not only hit Spruce with an ice type attack, but freeze him right on the spot. I then used muddy water on the barboach, though, it didn't do nearly as much as I thought it would, all things considered, barboach aren't supposed to be that strong. No, all it did was get him to laugh at Spruce, and then talk to him... even though he was frozen, and likely couldn't hear a word that the barboach said. ""Oh... aren't you the best ice sculpture that I've made? Yes you are, my pretty..."" he said to Spruce, who couldn't say anything back, but was probably annoyed somehow. ""Uh... hello?"" I ask the barboach, who simply ignored me and continued talking to the ice block that Spruce was frozen in. ""You're just the prettiest thing... I think I'll call you Emily,"" that... was almost enough to confuse me, as in, actual confusion, as in, stumbling around and shouting 'POMEG' confused. These lost pokemon were really starting to hurt my sanity. Maybe I just needed to learn to ignore their incoherent ramblings, and just focus on actually fighting them. The arcanine just seemed to fall asleep in Kamina's grip, which was strange, as he was more pumped up than a mankey who's eaten an all-chesto breakfast and lunch just a few minutes ago... but now he's just sleeping as if it was nighttime... which I honestly hoped it wasn't.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	I started the fight by trying to use agility to improve all of my allies' speed, just to make sure that we could at least outrun them. I then used an extra attack, a dizzy punch on the skuntank, who looked somewhat more important than the rest of his team. The boss started stumbling around for a moment, which made the koffing say ""Uh... boss? Aren't we gonna use our special attack?"" of course, the boss just shouted ""FLORIDA!"" and left it at that. The koffing just sort of kept floating around, not really knowing what to do without his boss, and the zubat decided it was about time to try to confuse Tini, as the very first thing he did was try to use supersonic on him, saying ""You girlies and your man aren't going to stop us! We're unstoppable! Not even heroes have defeated us, before,"" I then looked around for any other female pokemon, wondering why he used the plural for that word, but, I was just stumped. I then notice Terra's daughter and the charmander trying to escape, with the charmander trying to secretly burn the ropes, and Terra's daughter trying to use vine whip to untie them. Soon enough, with the thugs distracted, they manage to escape, and the charmander uses ember on the skuntank, causing him to explode thanks to his explosive poisons, fortunately for us, the explosion didn't hit any of us, but unfortunately, the skuntank was still somehow still alive thanks to the blast, and he was mad... almost mad enough to break through his confusion.</div>"

She squeezed them hard using her ribbons, leaving them crumbling, but drier at least. She then put them on the pile, and continue to grab sticks. She was shaking right now.<br/>""Now for fire... Let me remember... We need... friction. Thats it... friction."" she says, before starting to rub 2 sticks together on the pile of sticks and leaves.... only for the branches to break. She frown and look at Josh.<br/>""This is gonna be hard... if only... if I remember... my mom told me of a certain kind of rock that could make sparks... What was it... what was it....

This might end up easier then he though it be. He then suddenly rushed and used bullet punch on the zubat, trying to possibly knock him out and stop the supersonic quick know. He just hoped this would work, cause if Tini was confused.... then things might get even more freaken weird then normal. I mean seriously, if Tini was weird in his normal state for how he acts, in his confused state.... Eralion shivered a bit. It felt like it might end up liek a division by 0 here... He then moved back. <br/>""You fool! You do not know what you are doing!?!"" he then yells. He hoped that Tini would resist... or even better yet, not be affected at all by the confusion effect. Cause the last thing he needed was Tini possibly attack the group by accident trying to use his power of 'friendship' on the enemy. He shivers a bit at what the possibility would be. Lucky he was not evolved yet, cause he knew how fairy types were... God... his mom was scared of his father before they met. But fate did have a strange way of doing things.</div>"

Kamina asked no one, as he felt the Arcanine sleeping in his grasp ""did I do this?"" He wondered to himself. A part of him was worried that it was a ploy to get him to let go. However a more rational part of him (which did, in fact, exist) reasoned that he was too insane to think tactically. His decision was made when he saw Spruce frozen solid ""oh no!"" Rushing to his friend's aid, he flicked the Barboach out of the way with his tail, he then coiled around Spruce to warm him up with his body heat. ""Don't worry buddy, I've got your back""<br/><br/>---<br/><span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span><br/><br/>Having never encountered a move that inflicted Confusion before, there was no way for Tini to resist it. However, the effect it had on him was something that no one could have guessed;<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">In Tini's Mind<br/><br/>Tini found himself climbing a misty mountain. At the top, he found a small hut that looked like it was made of bamboo. It also had a strange front door; as it wasn't pushed or pulled open, by slid open. Inside, he found an old looking Dragonite. ""Ah, you have finally arrived"" for some reason, his voice didn't match with the movement of his lips<br/><br/>""What is this place? Who are you?"" Tini asked the strange Dragonite<br/><br/>""This place has no true name, it is a realm stuck between dreams and reality. As for me; I am the Sage Of All Things. This is not what I truly look like though, as I have merely taken on a form you are comfortable with in order to communicate with you""<br/><br/>""Oh..neat""<br/><br/>""Yes, indeed it is. Now young Tini, you have achieved something that many spend their entire lives trying to obtain, only to fail; oneness with existence. Although some prefer to call it 'enlightenment'. However in your case, this state is only temporary, because of the method in which you reached it.""<br/><br/>""Cool. So...what does oneness with existence do?""<br/><br/>""That is something you must discover for yourself. I believe that our time is up. Go now, young Tini, and use this new power to halt the forces of evil""<br/><br/>""I will strange old man!"" And with that, everything went white... </span><br/><br/>Back in the waking world, Tini's eyes suddenly shot wide open. ""I shall not allow you to harm anyone else"" he said is an unnervingly calm voice. Acting quickly, Tini grabbed the nearby Zubat with his tail and threw him at the Koffing. Causality was warped (maybe?) and the throw become a mere formality, as the Zubat had already it it's target; one of the Koffing's holes. The Zubat's head became stuck in the Koffing's body, and the Koffing was weighed down by the Zubat.</div>"

Just thinking about that forest made me realise how insane that place was, and here I am slowly dying from that giant bastard Arceus.<br/><br/>""-cast a fricken' storm of damn lightnin'!"" What did I do? For one, I started to slur my speech and continued being a little more edgy than usual. For two, I ended up missing the Barboach, instead hitting a tree behind the thing. However, If I recalled correctly, it was possible to make a tree explode... so, being a little more disturbed than usual, I ended up letting a current run through all the splits and branches of the tree. It was only seconds until the tree began to expand before literally just popping in half, tearing itself apart as a violent explosion of air force a large branch onto the helpless Barboach, and the other part of the tree flying into an empty patch of snow for all I cared. ""I'm feelin' lucky, don't I?"" I said, unaware of what I did earlier while we began to clean up our business around here. ""Okay... can we go now?"" I asked, weaker than usual from having spent all my energy on making a tree explode. Splinters and the odd smell of burning sap filled the air, while the snow storm only seemed to get worse.</div>"

Now they needed a way to light it, and since neither of them had an Fire-type moves, they would have to find another way. Celes suggested that they try to find flint, but that would be pretty difficult with everything covered in snow. Josh had another idea, though. If he used Thunderbolt, it would create sparks and possibly light the fire. It was worth a shot. Worst case scenario, it fails and they go with Celes' plan.<br/><br/> ""Before we go digging around in the snow, let me try something."" Josh said. He used Thunderbolt on the pile of branches, which ended up sending them all flying. That wasn't quite the result that he wanted, but a few of the branches were smoking a little, and one had a small flame burning on it. He used his psychic powers to pick up this branch, and began picking up the others that had been scattered around.<br/>""Let's gather these back up quickly, before this burns out."" He said.</div>"

A bizarre series of noises similar to but not quite radio static ran through her mind from what she supposed <span class=""bb-i"">could</span> be considered a Pokemon, even though she made no attempt to read it’s mind. In fact, she wasn’t even sure if it even had a mind in the traditional sense, though she had no intentions of finding out herself. She shook her head, snapping herself out of her trance, and grabbed Talon by the wing, pulling him along towards Nina, who seemed to have a very good plan in mind.<br/><br/>	“I have absolutely no idea,” Rebecca said quickly as she grabbed Nina’s paw. “Maybe it’s some sort of Pokemon or swamp gas or someone spiked the berries or someone’s playing a prank on us, or maybe Lovecraft was right all along, but what I do know is that I do not want to be here when that thing finishes whatever the heck it’s doing right now.” The Ralts quickly pushed the bizarre series of noises out of her mind for a moment and attempted to teleport. Though she felt a bit sad about not having enough arms to take the Buneary with the rest of her team, she didn’t particularly care where she ended up, just as long as it was very, very far away from this... event.<br/></div>"

The light faded to reveal several bright crystals surrounded by a bunch of dark rocks. ""Ugh... hey... where the heck are we?"" I then have a flashback to when I was almost a bloodstain on the plains and shiver at that thought. ""That... thing... whatever it is, it's clearly NOT natural,"" I end up thinking out loud. I then have that same flashback again, though, unlike last time, I actually paid attention to what move it used... it looked a bit like how I've heard Sky-Attack looks, which struck me as odd, but, otherwise irrelevant. I take a look around to see if I could find any sort of exit, but, unfortunately, we were teleported somewhere in the middle of the cave, and our badges, while probably operational again, were in 'emergency' mode for whatever reason, which, of course, means that we'd lose every pokedollar we were carrying, as well as most of the items we had in our bag... this place seemed much less dangerous than, well... IT, so, I figured that we could at least TRY to find our way out of here if it will keep us from losing almost all of our stuff.<br/><br/>	I then wondered exactly why it was in emergency mode when we weren't under attack, I mean, sure, there were probably wild pokemon just waiting for us around every corner, but it's not like it would really require THAT much more energy to get us a few feet further than if we were outside of the dungeon... unless, of course, emergency mode had something to do with IT. Out of nowhere, during my train of thought, a rock decides to throw itself at my face, or, rather a geodude, who I only found after getting something thrown at me, decided to use rock throw from across a narrow hallway, apparently knowing that I had no real ranged attacks, and, I actually hesitated to attack the thing, because now I knew it was under ITS control, that the geodude's actions were a direct result of ITS effects on wild pokemon. I do manage to get closer to the geodude, who decided to throw his next rock at Rebbecca, even then, I seemed to have trouble attacking him. <span class=""bb-i"">It must be pretty horrible to have someone else control your body like that... to not want to fight, and have someone else just pull a few strings and force you to...</span> I think as I try to come up with some sort of solution, some sort of way to get the geodude to stop attacking us, however, even when I asked him to fight the mind control, even when I tried being kind... well, it all just fell on deaf ears. Wait, did geodude even have ears? Well, either way, diplomacy has proven itself completely ineffective, once again, which meant that the next logical step was plain and simple... attack, fight, and win, but, I hesitated, I held back, and even if it was an effective attack, my double kick didn't seem to do much due to this.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	The arcanine continued to snooze even after Kamina released it, and... from some sort of miracle, the ice around me melted, and I found myself within the coils of Kamina, who probably used some sort of inner fire to melt the ice. The barboach seemed really ticked off at this, but a tree quickly put an end to his rage, and just as quickly knocked him out. ""Whew... thanks, Kamina, and thanks M,"" I said to my group. Unfortunately, the arcanine woke up from that, and shouted ""JERRY! You were supposed to wake me up at SEVEN, NOT NINE! YOU HAD ONE JOB, JERRY!"" He then viciously bit into... a rock, which, being a rock, didn't respond in any way, shape or form. I tried to take advantage of this by using void whip on him, but he quickly turned around, and knocked me back with a flame charge attack, shouting ""YAY! Bob's back, and I can play again! WHOO! I'm so excited that I'm burning up!"" I... had no clue what he was talking about, but he used his increased speed to try to use flame charge on M, who may or may not see it coming a mile away. ""TIM! I haven't seen you in years!"" yet another unidentified pokemon possibly affiliated with this insane thing, and, he was so determined to attack 'Tim', that even a shadow charge from Daniel didn't dissuade him from so much as changing his course slightly so he'll miss... what in the HECK was wrong with this guy? ""So... any ideas on what the heck we should do with these lost pokemon? I mean, we could teleport them back to Allure Town, but... they seem a little... er... crazy... then again, they could have families and friends who miss them..."" I was a little conflicted on this subject, mainly due to the fact that they attacked us out of nowhere, yet, trying to tell their families that they'll never be seen again might be, well... just bad.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Kamina finally melted the ice containing Spruce, and the barboach seemed as if he was about to go on some sort of rampage, however, he was knocked out handily with a tree that got hit with one of M's attacks. Thankfully, a fire didn't start up in the forest, even if I would welcome it, I know at least two pokemon in our current team wouldn't appreciate it that much, at all. Speaking of fire, the arcanine stayed asleep for just a little bit longer, and once he woke up, he yelled at a rock he called 'Jerry', and bit into that exact rock. Spruce tried to take advantage of this, but the arcanine just flung him back and then used flame charge to deal some serious damage to him, and increase his own speed... which he promptly used against M. I tried to use muddy water on the arcanine, however, he just continued running as if my attack didn't even work against him, even though I know fully well that my attack should have done at least SOMETHING to the fire-type... maybe he was so lost in his own little world that he literally didn't notice my water-type attack? That just didn't make any sense whatsoever, but it was the only theory I had running that didn't involve the arcanine being completely invincible. Spruce then, apparently at a loss as far as what he can actually do at this point, as even Daniel's shadow charge attack didn't so much as accidentally veer him to his left, and he started talking about what we should do once we're done with these guys... it was honestly a pretty good question, we couldn't really just leave them here, as they're not quite wild pokemon, and may have friends and family, however, their insanity would make it difficult for them to fit into a place like Allure or Treasure town, not to mention Scale City...<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The zubat somehow took Eralion's bullet punch attack, and was even knocked back into... Tini's tail!? It seems like confusion had the exact opposite effect on Tini, who right now seemed uncharacteristically calm, collected, and, well... SANE. He took the zubat, and threw it right into one of the koffing's holes, weighing down the koffing and causing the zubat to become stuck, and possibly even start choking just due to the fact that there's no way the inside of a koffing is breathable to ANY living thing. Some muffled speech came from the zubat, and the koffing ended up saying ""B...boss? I can't stay above the ground anymore... we have to use our special attack!"" the koffing then tried and failed to use sludge, failing simply due to the fact that he couldn't move into a position where it would hit anyone, let alone Tini, who was across the room from him. The boss shouted something, and took an ember attack from the charmander, who finally managed to escape his bindings alone with Terra's daughter, who couldn't really seem to think of any attack she could use that was even remotely effective against the thing, and she simply ran while the trio was either immobile or confused, making it out of the building successfully, and somewhat easily thanks to Team Skull's current state. I finally contributed to the battle by attacking their boss with another dizzy punch, of course I knew it wouldn't make him even more confused, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. ""PECHA BERRY SOUP!"" the boss shouted as he tried to use flamethrower on the wall... I can only guess that he was aiming at either me, or Eralion, but thanks to his confusion, he missed by a mile and a half. </div>"

Even Daniel was surprised by the Pokemon's sudden blood-lust, unable to catch up to the Arcanine.<br/><br/>I can still remember the impact of that attack. I felt an implosion of sorts on my entire body, having the wind knocked out of me as my vision went dark. One of my magnets threw flew into the sky and down, knocked off my body. A wicked cackle of embers followed afterwards, as I did a backwards somersault into the air, making a whistling noise through the blizzard. After experiencing slow motion and an endless amount of time in the air, I slammed onto a rough patch of snow. Unresponsive and still, I'd imagine. I felt both hot and cold afterwards, like I had a fever or something.<br/><br/>Annoyingly, I was still alive. Back then I was, but now... not really. I ended up spluttering bits of metal fillings from my eyes, rubbing the rest away. I looked back to see the Arcanine in its frenzy state, while I was dazed and trying to refocus my vision. To my left, I noticed my magnet which had landed on a small bundle of broken branches. ""Arceus... damn it...""

She then started to take in more sticks and after removing the snow on them, fed the fire to make sure it would keep on burning.<br/>""We need to keep it alive, at least until Spruce and the group can find us."" she then says softly, hoping for the best here. If they were not to find them, then this might end up bad. The wind seemed to calm down around them right now at least, less snow blowing onto their face.<br/>""I just hope... whoever we are suppose to go save, we don't end up too late for all this."" she says in a worried voice.

Tini... acting sane? Oh god... this was the thing that NO ONE could expect. He seemed calm instead of his normal self. Confusion actually doing that to him was really surprising. He though he would have ended up more crazy then before, even if his crazy was not so bad... But this... this was something completely different. Eralion moved close to Bonnie.<br/>""Remember me to get Tini confused more often."" he says in a joke tone right there, before quickly rushing to the skuntank, which was confused by Bonnie's dizzy punch. He then used bullet punch once again, knowing it might be his best bet here to attack with that move instead of karate chop, cause of their poison typing. This was annoying for him cause he could not really go and use all his moves against those guys, cause they were all poison types. This was one time he wish he had some kind of psychic or ground move.</div>"

While the Arcanine was charging at him, Kamina tanked the hit, and used the opportunity to wrap himself around the other Pokemon. ""Alright then bub, let's see you grit those teeth!""

While that last one was indeed very important, it wasn't too relevant. What was relevant, was that he could see the entirety of his lat foe's body, and with it, it's weak points. Rushing at the Poison Type, he jabbed a seeming random part of it's neck with the tip of his tail hard.

""Stop pranking me, John!"" the arcanine shouted at Kamina, though... he did do as instructed, and showed his teeth... I would have interfered, but... well, it seemed like Kamina had it covered, so, instead, I made my way to M, who was absolutely destroyed by the arcanine's previous attack. ""Do you think we should rest for a bit?"" I asked M, later sitting down and trying to rest up, myself. Without oran berries, this was kinda the only real way to heal without using moves, or anything of the like. The arcanine then shouted ""Let me go, John! I need to get back at those stupid bankers who I stole from!"" given his state of mind, I wasn't exactly prone to believe the arcanine about anything involving his life, his friends, or his current situation. The snow was extremely cold, as frozen water typically was, and, this was probably one of the worst places for me to rest, given my aversion to the cold, but, I knew that M liked it here, he preferred the cold for whatever reason. The arcanine continued to struggle to free himself from Kamina's grip, and Anthony just seemed to be resting, as well, though, he would probably prefer a spot on Kamina's head... he probably figured that he'd get that soon, and there was no point in being impatient, or something. The trees just sort of swayed to whatever little wind there was at this point, and thankfully, that meant that there wouldn't be another snowstorm for a while... or, at least until the wind picks up again. Daniel seemed to perch himself on one of the nearby tree's branches, and seemed to be staring at the arcanine... he was probably planning his next attack against him, should he escape.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini continued to maintain his sanity, and poked the skuntank in a very specific, yet somehow random-looking spot on his neck... this seemed to snap him out of confusion, and caused him to immediately attack me with a sucker-punch, though, somehow, it didn't seem to actually do that much to me... I then retaliated with a dizzy punch, though, I wasn't as lucky this time, he did seem to have some sort of reaction to something. ""Eugh... what in the world is that horrible smell!?"" the skuntank shouted to... probably himself. He continued looking for the smell until he finally realized it was coming from him... he seemed to collapse a few moments after finally realizing that, however, the zubat somehow managed to pull itself from the koffing's hole, it, too fainted a few minutes later without so much as us needing to do anything. The koffing seemed to be the only one left, now... but he didn't look too confident. ""Uh... b...boss...? Oh no... uh... I SURRENDER! Please, just leave me alone!"" the koffing then tried to fly away, however, I stopped it, and teleported all of us back to the guild. Oddly as soon as the officers entered, I started to see a white light envelop me... and I felt myself change, for some reason. When this was all finished, I seemed to grow much taller, especially in comparison to Eralion, who looked short, now for some reason. The officers took the kidnappers away, and Terra somehow got here. ""Thank you so much for finding my child... here, I want you to have this as a reward,"" Terra then handed me a TM that had the words 'Brick Break' written on the label. Before I could even say thank you, she left the area, probably heading back to Scale City, and her hotel. I handed the TM to Eralion, who could probably use that move more than I could.<br/></div>"

I was both angry and somewhat fearful at the damned thing, still feeling like crap and trash after his attack. At least the frosty blizzard relaxed me and let me sit still under the gaze of a large tree. It was there when I had Robert asking me what to do for, seemingly unaware of my intentions. ""Of course we gotta rest up. I just nearly died or something. Someone's gonna have to look for the others though, and Kamina... well, I'm surprised he's able to last in this weather with the rest of you pri-"" I cleared my voice, knowing what I was about to say and instead choosing to be less rude. I spat out a few shavings of metal, and oddly enough a black feather or two. I shrugged it off as I looked back at Robert, who himself was still pretty bruised. ""Sorry.

No. He felt a new confidence inside of him after they defeated that group of crook, but he also felt tired, the day having gotten a bit too... long we could say. He looked at Tini and smiled, before looking at the TM.<br/>""Thanks Bonnie, I will make good use of it."" he says, before using the TM. Slowly, he was forgetting how to use karate chop, and learned to use Brick break instead. He smiled as he looks at Bonnie.<br/>""This will be really useful, thanks Bonnie."" he says.

I tried to tell him to slow down, but then I just remembered that Kamina can probably match their speed, and I'd be able to catch up to them easily. Once I saw Kamina pass by, I asked if I could ride on his head again, and considering his response so far, I gathered that he'd let me, once again, so I just waited for him to lower his head, and then just braced myself for Kamina's 'running', if it could be called that. As annoying as it was that Spruce seemed to have no consideration for his other teammates right now, it was nice to see him actually getting along, even if only just barely, with Daniel. The two eventually made it to a fire, where Celes and Josh were... Matt seemed to be completely absent, unfortunately, and Spruce seemed to be searching for someone, probably him. He spoke with Celes and Josh, and almost seemed to cuddle with Celes. Well, okay, he probably didn't, but he was close enough to her that if I were a meaner pokemon, I would have made fun of them for it. Instead, I simply shouted ""Hey, Josh! You haven't seen Matt around, have you?"" and, while the fire looked enticing, I preferred my perch on Kamina's head, just so we'd be ready to leave at a moment's notice, such as, if, I dunno... some lunatic pokemon decided to just drop in from almost nowhere, and we had to run away from the thing, as we'd have no way to defeat them... or something.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The moment I evolved, Tini decided to give me a hug, and... well, this time, I didn't really feel like struggling, and I didn't feel like he was trying to attack me.

Last I heard about those two, Samuel was off on his own exploration team, and William was in some sort of weird, delusional state the likes of which nobody has ever seen before. I honestly hoped that I'd be able to see them again, sometime, if nothing else then at least to show them that I've evolved, that I've grown since they first took me into the team, giving me a home away from the likes of my father, however, it seemed as if there was no known cure for William's condition, and whatever explorations or adventures Samuel's getting into, they seem to never want to take him back to Allure, which... seems a little weird... suspicious, almost.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	""Hm... crystal... cave... crystal... cavern...""

Rebecca! Where ARE you two at the moment!?"" I simply answered with ""Uh...

Archie then asked, probably worried ""Oh no... you didn't switch bodies with each other or a wild pokemon did you?"" my only response to that was a laugh, as well as ""No, sorry, Archie, but you've got to lay off the comics... that kind of stuff doesn't happen with teleportation... you'd need some other type of power to do THAT to someone,"" relieved, Archie hung up, after saying that he'd report all of that to his 'field agent' who was supposed to 'rescue us'... sure, we didn't know how deep we were in Crystal Chasm, and we were probably late for dinner, but I've seen pokemon leave for days on end without reporting a single thing to Archie... then again, they were probably veterans, while we only just finished one mission so far, and have only been a team for a day or two.</div>"

Just the perks of being a Steel - you may be a tank, but any enemy may have a wrench up their sleeve. As I floated through the relentless blizzard, I had vivid visions of Pokemon being... too graphic to describe, really.

'Now that I think about it; why are we even here in the first place?' Ah, now I remember; Anthony spoke with someone in his mind...or something like that?'

Before he could notice anything else, one of the Pokemon spoke ""There's only 3 minutes left until the bomb goes kabloom!

My goal was to teleport the heck away from there, and I’m pretty sure that’s exactly where we ended up, give or take a ""darn"" or two. No room for argument there.” She sighed as she stared at the glowing crystals on the walls.

She had to wonder what made those crystals glow like that for so long, though, and in all of those different colors.<br/><br/>	“So I guess help’s on the way,” Rebecca said to Nina after a while. “Do you think we should explore at all?

Celes starts talking about how she should have become a flareon to stay warm in these kinds of climates, and how Josh saved her life just now... and I somehow end up hugging her after that, saying ""Oh... well, I'm sorry, I guess I should have been on the lookout for any fire stones, huh?"" I had an oddly humorous tone in my voice as I said that. I continued to sit there as Josh explained that he found some sort of exit, and that Matt should be nearby. That seemed really nice, just, some sort of exit to this place before we ALL go insane from it. I then get up, and ask Daniel ""Hey, Daniel, do you think you can fly up and find an exit, real quick? Of course, I'd like it if you can find the one with Matt near it, too,"" Daniel then flies straight up for a short time... and then flies back down to say ""Follow me, I know where the exit is, now,"" Daniel then starts flying in some direction, and I say ""Well, you heard the bird, let's go,"" after that, I start following Daniel through the frozen forest, and all the way to some sort of frozen city... Matt was there, and he was floating back and forth, worriedly, for some odd reason. He seemed to be in a better mood once he saw Daniel and I meet up with him. ""Huh... looks like Anthony wasn't lying, after all... this place really IS in trouble... problem is, it looks like we're a little late, huh, Matt?"" I then say in an oddly cheery tone for what I just saw. Of course, if someone contacted us, or, rather, contacted someone, there was probably SOME way of fixing the town, some way of reversing this... frozen thing.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Kamina seemed to be happy for Spruce and Celes, and, I suppose I couldn't really argue, and heck, M even seemed happy... odd, though, I actually assumed that he couldn't smile due to being a machine, but, I guess he found a way. I mean, at least it gave him some sort of distraction from criticizing my lack of speed, or anything else that I did that made him mad at the time. Kamina asked how close we were to the end just after Josh explained that Matt was at the exit to the forest. In fact, that seemed to be on Spruce's mind, too, as he had Daniel fly up and find a way out of this place... as if... they were openly co-operating, rather than at eachother's necks all the time. That was enough to bring a smile to my face on its own, however, the fact that Daniel not only found the exit, but Matt as well sure didn't do anything to stop my smile. Spruce darted off, following Daniel's directions to the exit, and, I can only assume that Kamina did, as well, after all, he happily told his teammates to follow him, or, rather, to follow Daniel. I finally made it to the exit, and I saw Matt speaking with Spruce about the frozen city. As soon as I noticed the city was frozen, my smile went away. ""Dang... uh... looks like we're a little late, huh? Now I guess I know WHY you told me to hurry up, earlier, Spruce. I'm sorry for being so slow,"" Spruce, however, didn't seem to listen, at all, and I simply hid in my helmet, and stayed on top of Kamina's head, not wanting to cause even more issues just from holding us back, just from us getting here too late to save Josh's girlfriend.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Thankfully, I was still in a good enough mood to handle dragging Tini over to his room, and I even asked for seconds at dinnertime just to make sure he wouldn't go hungry. I placed my seconds next to his bed so they'd be the first things he saw when he woke up. I then drifted into sleep. The dream I had was a good one, it had all of my friends, even Spruce, surrounding me and praising me for all my hard work at the guild... it was also in color for the first time in a while, and, for once, my father didn't even make an appearance, though, I had to wonder... I always got back before dinnertime, but were there some guild members who stayed out later than that? I guess there were nocturnal pokemon, like those weird dark types, and hoothoot. Oddly enough, I actually saw a few of these nocturnal pokemon at the dinner table, even if I didn't see them at all during the day. Maybe that was just breakfast for them? I then remember some random rumor I heard a while back about how guilds would occasionally hold expeditions that would take days just to get to the dungeon, let alone complete it... but, what would the members do for food during that time? Would they just have to bring their own food for dinners and breakfasts, or would the guild, itself actually provide food just for on the road meals? These questions bounced around in my head all throughout the night, though I still somehow managed to actually sleep, despite all those questions I had right now.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Rebecca insisted that there wasn't an issue, and I ended up responding with ""Right... but, it's not like I could have told Archie that we MEANT to leave that place, right? He'd have us do some cleaning duty, or be the sentries for the night, or something,"" I then walk over to Rebecca, glad that the geodude finally left us alone, and she asks if help's on the way, to which, I responded with ""Yup. Some sort of 'field agent'... probably just another member who doesn't have a team, or something,"" I then sat down across from her, and she asked whether we should stay, or explore. ""We can explore this place tomorrow, but... if we want any chance of getting rescued, we're going to have to stay put... even if it's a mystery dungeon, there's a better chance of getting found when we're not constantly moving around, right?... well, that and this is some nice scenery,"" I then started to just look at the giant, bright, yellow crystal that was right behind Rebecca, and wondered how, exactly it got so bright... and so big. That thing had to be seven, maybe eight feet tall... or I was just exaggerating. Thankfully, no more wild pokemon came around, but, I also noticed that our rufflet friend decided to fly off somewhere. I wondered if we'll ever find him again. He was a pretty big help back there in Sunswept plains, but, I guess he had something else he had to do. Heck, for all I knew, he left to go pick on the fighting types in this area, if there are any. There probably were, 'cause for whatever reason, fighting types like to surround themselves with rock types. I never understood that, but, then again, I'm not a fighting type.</div>"

Out of place we could say. He headed to sleep after eating, beforing slowly sleeping, tired, dreaming about the future, about possible things that could happen.

He dreamt he was a strange oversize eevee with a scar on his eye, fighting a group of what seemed to be infernapes without the flames and metal sheet all around them.

This was a small happy moment of joy in a place of horrors and calamity, but a good important one at that. As much as I preferred the cold over the warmth of the wavering fire, I felt as if I was actually getting some proper rest rather than relying on the cold. I almost fell asleep as everyone chattered, opening my eye when the chatter stopped and the flames went out. Everyone was leaving for whatever we were going to. <span class=""bb-i"">Alright... I feel a bit better now.</span> My head was a bit groggy but I could definitely hear my own head, even in all this snow.<br/><br/>Within minutes of leaving, we were actually already near the exit, sighting Anthony's other team-mate waving at us or something. (How strange the exit was within walking distance.) Yet, there was a considerable amount of juxtaposition and a few broken faces: by Arceus, this blizzard wasn't natural. As it settled down, there was a clear image of a huge town, frozen in bitter cold and ice. Seemed as if the whole thing came in either quickly or by malicious intent. I still couldn't see well, but an outline did the trick of saying ""Dear Arceus...""<br/><br/>As we swooped in to ensure there were some signs of life, I was bothered by the fact stuff like this could happen and we wouldn't even know about it. ""What is this place anyway?"" I'll be honest, I have very little knowledge of the outside world. As I said, I used to live all my life in Davis' house in the world's worst community. I'm surprised I didn't hold any predispositions against Pokemon like Spruce, mainly because he proved himself as worthy to everyone around here.<br/><br/>So, anyway... this place was a land frozen in time, almost literally. There could've been some Void anomaly for all we knew. Entire houses were encased with a thick layer of ice, almost unnervingly comical as it also prevented us from breaking into them for our own gains. It was like the weather decided to take a seat and claim this entire area as its own, disregarding all life while the sun was blotted out from the sky. Seemingly lifeless statues stood in the snow, some unaware of this storm with their happy faces and berries in their hands, to those so pointed and others who held their faces in unflinching horror. I swore I saw moving figures as the blizzard continued buzzing in our ears, but that was likely the effects of the forest still lingering in my head. All this proved too much for some, with Josh calling out for someone who apparently lived around here. While I took a few deep breaths, Josh passed by many different statues, eyes locked on a particular block of ice as we followed. ""You know her?"" I asked, unaware this was actually his friend of sorts.<br/><br/>Suspicions that this blizzard wasn't natural were proven when not even Kamina could break through this ice. At first, I thought his charge was going to end badly by causing the statue of Josh's friend to break apart. More shockingly though was that nothing actually happened, with the ice cruelly defying our efforts to save anyone around here. ""Well. Let's blame magic and call it a day."" I let out, trying to distract from the situation while having no clues as to how to even help Josh, let alone this town. ""Anyone got any ideas what's happened here? I blame an... Arceus of ice or something."" </div>"

We should come back here, though. Nothing would spice up our room more than a giant glowing crystal if you ask me.

Does your teleporter badge work? Because ours stopped for some silly reason.” She wondered if there was some sort of way of improving these things, and if there was, if there was a market to corner with them. <span class=""bb-i"">'Explorer Badge EX: From the onslaughts of rampaging Elder Gods to running away like a coward, it’ll stand by you through thick and thin!'</span> She decided she probably shouldn’t market products of any kind, excluding hypothetical ones, though she still thought it was a nice idea.</div>"

Whatever caused this took them by surprise, and must have been pretty scary. <span class=""bb-i"">I guess just the faces of horror and shock alone means that this could only have been a legendary pokemon... that means we'd need another legendary pokemon's power to stop it... maybe.</span> I think as I continue to inspect the area, trying to see if I could find ANYTHING at all that might point me to who or what did this, however, all I could find was snow, ice, and frozen-shut buildings. A strange kirlia seems to approach Anthony from his left, and teleports away after saying something to him. I was just about to ask if anyone had any ideas about this when Anthony just blurted out ""This is all Kyurem's fault! We need to wake up Reshiram, Kyurem's brother, or something, to fix it... of course, Kyurem's also mad about something, so, maybe we'll have to help out Reshiram against him?"" I was just about to ask where I could find Reshiram, and Anthony, as if he was psychic said ""We can find Reshiram at the top of Sunrise Tower... it's off to the west, and it's actually not too far from here,"" Anthony then headed off in that direction, however, he was slow thanks to Kamina removing Anthony from his head in order to try to melt the ice block surrounding a hapless horsea. I then finally noted ""It's kinda getting late, we should probably get some rest, right?""

Spruce wandered off from the group, probably trying to freeze to death, or something, given his type, and after what I can only assume was him trying to 'inspect the land', a strange kirlia approached me and spoke to me in a familiar voice... ""I see that you are the ones who got my message... if not, then at least you can see the plight of my village. I am the only one who avoided being frozen, and I've been trying to get help since, well, THIS happened. It is because of Kyurem, who was once our protector. As of late, however, he's been overtaken by some strange energy, and this was the result of that,"" I then started to ask her something, but she simply continued ""I'm afraid that the only way to reverse this is to reawaken Reshiram, one part of the same entity that Kyurem once was... he can be found in Sunrise Tower, west of here, it's not far,"" I then nodded, and she teleported away. ""Guys, we're heading west. Sunrise tower, gotta wake up Reshiram and save this town,"" I then headed west, and Spruce seemed to be trying to ask me a few questions, which I just answered before he even had the chance.

I then overheard Rebecca asking whether or not his badge worked, and I actually started thinking about just how random an arbitrary the 'badge states' are... if you were in the middle of a dungeon, but just so happened to have completed a 'mission' in said dungeon, you'd be able to teleport even if you were in the middle of a monster house, however, if you didn't finish it yet, and there wasn't a single wild pokemon in sight, you wouldn't be able to teleport back without losing everything due to some sort of 'emergency' function. It didn't make any sense, but at least a guild member has finally found us... and we won't have to clean anything, at least, not yet. ""So, back to the old guild, right? Kinda funny how we're an exploration TEAM, and yet we had to get saved by a single explorer on his own, though, huh? Well... what we just had to deal with... er... will do that to you, I guess,"" I tried to not name anything, or detail any sort of specifics, and if he asked about specific details, I'd keep them about as vague as possible. I felt like this was the sort of knowledge that shouldn't just be spread around town, at least, not until we've figured everything out.

I rustled my feathers- no, I just wriggled in the air, almost stupidly following Anthony until I realised we would be staying for the night. I REALLY needed rest, especially as I wasn't fully healed from that earlier incident, propping myself on an empty frozen cart and rolling on my backside. Everyone seemed as worried as... each other, unsure of what's next come tomorrow. Just what would a legendary do to help us when there's all these dungeons popping up and spreading? I get it to save Josh's friend, but I really hope that's a good enough reason to swoop down and warm up the town. Assuming we manage to drive out the thing that's causing this big freeze.</div>"

The Ralts grabbed some of what little food remained this late in the day and sat down next to who she decided was a friend, even if he did seem to be a little more business-minded than she was.<br/><br/>	“So,” Rebecca said in between bites. “What’s your name? Do you usually work alone, or are you on a team like we are?” She stifled a small yawn, the energy from the food unable to completely stave off her exhaustion.<br/></div>"

I give a yawn, and drift off into sleep while the fire was still a roaring blaze... unfortunately, such comfort wasn't around when I woke up, as the fire had died down, and I was freezing, just as well as I seemed to be practically hugging Celes by the time I got up. Embarrassed, I let go of her, and took a few steps away. Thankfully, it seemed like only Anthony was up, and he was already eating his other pastry. I decided to do the same, and noticed that the pastry was stale, but still pretty good. Not nearly as amazing as it was earlier, but still pretty good. Anthony headed off in some direction, but I stopped him, saying ""I don't think we'll get very far without the rest of the teams, Anthony,"" Anthony tried to counter that with ""Well, we'd waste a lot less time if we leave them here,"" then he finally saw some sense, and added ""But... there are apparently fire and dragon types in that tower... yeah, we wouldn't get very far, would we?"" I nodded, and he took a seat next to Kamina, as if already waiting to get on his head, while I decided to take a seat next to Celes, as per usual. It probably won't be too long before everyone's up, and ready to go, right? I looked around the area, the ice and snow having taken pretty much the entire city, but, given where we were that was kind of expected... then again, apparently, they used to get some sort of protection from the ice from a certain pokemon, and now, that pokemon's mad at them.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Morning finally came, and for some reason, I felt like I've been asleep for even longer than usual. I get up, and notice that the ground was MUCH farther away than it usually was. I then remembered something <span class=""bb-i"">Oh yeah, I evolved yesterday. I wonder if everyone's going to look short now. That'll be funny, later.</span> I then head off towards the dining room just so I could get a few chesto berries for everyone on my team. Eralion, Tini, and of course, myself. While I might have been the first in my team to wake up, that was hardly the case where the entire guild was concerned, as the line to get food stretched all the way out to the guildmaster's office. ""Well, I guess I'm not getting breakfast anytime soon..."" I thought out loud, and the loudred in front of me whose name I never really learned shouted back ""YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, MISSY!"" He was so loud, I had to cover my ears just so it didn't hurt... wait, wasn't he usually in charge of waking the other pokemon up? Where was he earlier today? Maybe he tried to get breakfast for himself before waking anyone else up, but obviously, if he tried to do that, his plan backfired, as he was only one spot in front of me, and I woke up a bit later than I usually do. Once the line finally got to me, I asked for my three chesto berries, and wondered where the rest of my team went... where William went, and where Samuel ran off to. These questions bugged me as I haven't seen them in a while, and, apparently, nobody else has, either. Heck, I decided to ask someone about that, and only got a ""Nope, haven't seen those two in a loooong time,"" as a response, meaning that, at the very least, they weren't in the guild for just as long.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Rebecca was just about to talk about having a recurring nightmare when her own stomach interrupted her, and we all headed off to the dining room to have dinner. I sat next to Rebecca, as per usual, and asked ""Y'know, we haven't had any other reliable teammates since Levita left... do you think you could join us?"" I then remembered an old teammate, and added ""Heck, I haven't even seen Chip, but, maybe that weird cocoon thing in the corner of our room is him, or something... anyways, if you do want to join, we're listed under 'Team Crescendo', but I think Rebecca's the only one on the team with any musical talent,"" I then finished my meal, and headed off to bed... only to get woken up the next day by a familiar bronzor, who, after waking me up, asked ""So... did you find any... information?"" I groggily asked ""Wha...?"" before my brain finally woke up, and I said ""Yeah... some sort of weird... rectangle thing... it attacked us, and killed a buneary who disobeyed its orders... I dunno who we're messing with, but they're probably strong,"" the bronzor seemed to just disappear after that, apparently not wanting any additional information from Rebecca, though, even I could tell that she probably had more information that I did right now. I then made sure she was awake before adding ""Well, that was rude of him, leaving you out of this... as if you don't have any more information on this thing..."" after that, I looked around for that growlithe who ended up rescuing us, and wondering whether or not he was going to join my team... of course, I was also waiting in line for breakfast, which... was going to take a while.</div>"

I had a nasty dream involving pixels and excessive mining, then it became a (relaxing) nightmare over skeletons, flowers and the underground. Glad it was over almost as soon as I slept, waking wearily to a cold start. Again, I liked the cold, but it wasn't exactly good for healing... I mean, there was a large wound that had since frozen over. I was worried that it might lead to some nasty infection, though considering earlier incidents involving shadows and feathers, I would probably be alright. That didn't stop the feeling of pain and fatigue when I rose though, better than yesterday but only just. I really needed to eat something to get myself in a better position for our next fight. I snorted and rubbed my eye, wiping away snow as I observed a haze in the sky. It seemed as if none of the clouds had departed, leaving behind a frozen and creepy town, still being layered by snow and ice. The things that moved were us, in our sleep of course. The fire had since died out, as if its spark went away with our sleep.<br/><br/>My eye twitched towards shuffling sounds in the snow, but that was just Spruce brushing off snow that had covered him like a blanket in his sleep. <span class=""bb-i"">Seriously, why didn't we bring any blankets? We're adventurers, we may as well prepare like one.</span> Kamina mysteriously left a set radius of thawed yet mulched grass around himself, hinting at the consequences of forced thawing of the entire village (assuming it was even possible). I watched as Spruce began telling Anthony to await the rest of our crew, but it seemed to bring up a bit of tension between himself and Spruce. I'd like to assume even similar leaders tend to get into toxic relationships, simply because they both want a degree of power, which is what... explained to me as being a cause to some war. Darn it, I forgot his name already. I'm sure it was David or something. I had no idea I could forget someone so easily, someone so hurtful...<br/><br/>Enough of that. I don't have time to reminiscent while I bleed out on this marble floor. We needed to get to places, find a HELPFUL legendary and get this place restored. Maybe we'll be recognised as heroes and be taken out for free dinner or something. Either way, helpful for our ultimate plan to stop Desia... somehow. I'll admit it's probably just my plan. Assuming I even have a plan. Whatever.</div>"

So, remind me what the plan was for today; we were going to beat up the guy causing this, right? There was something about Legendaries too, wasn't there? Ah, now I remember; the guy causing this is a Legendary, and we have to beat him up! It's a tall order, but I'm up for the challenge. Although...I'm starting to remember something about another Legendary...was he going to help us beat up the first one, or something?"" Kamina quickly noticed Anthony on the floor near him.

It was best to get something in her stomach this morning at least. This day though might end up bad if they were to stay in the cold all day. She looked at everyone.<br/>""Let us head there soon when everyone is awake... the more time we stay in position, the most risk we have of freezing like the people of this town."" she then says, worried right now.

It would make him possibly the target of attacks.. which in other hand, might make him able to use counter properly if this were to happen. But he had to think a bout that.

Because of this, it was freezing, and since Josh was a Dragon-type, he didn't handle the cold very well. The fact that he was used to a warm, tropical climate didn't help, either. The only ones in the group that didn't seem to be bothered by the cold were Matt and Kamina.<br/><br/>   He decided to talk to Kiera before they left. He wasn't sure if she was still conscious, let alone if she could hear him, but it was worth a shot.<br/>""Kiera, can you hear me?"" Josh said. ""We're going to find Reshiram, and if everything goes according to plan, he'll thaw out this village. We'll get you out of here, I promise.""<br/><br/>   Everyone had woken up by that point.

""I used to be in a team, but they ended up disappearing not too long after we first registered. I've been on my own ever since.""<br/>Nina then offered to let Dexter join their team.<br/>""I really need to think about that for a bit. I'll let you know tomorrow.""<br/><br/>   He wasn't sure if he wanted to accept Nina's offer or not. Sunswept Plains was one of the most beginner-friendly dungeons out there. If Nina and Rebecca had to teleport away from there, how could they possibly handle the more difficult dungeons? On the other hand, team arrangements weren't permanent. If they ended up holding him back, he could leave the team just as easily as he joined it. On top of that, finding another team would be difficult, especially given his history.<br/><br/>   The next day, Dexter ran into Nina while she was waiting in line for breakfast.<br/>""Hey.""

Her mother used to play the piano for her all the time, though, which was probably where she got it from. Sighing, she opened the door to her team’s room and flopped down on the bed. She was having trouble going to sleep again, so she pulled out her book again and tried to draw the horrific monster that they’d found in the plains. It was actually kind of tedious, considering that it basically looked like a couple of rectangles stuck together that were made out of more squares. Still, she thought she did a pretty good job. She wrote “NOPE” above the drawing before depositing it back in her bag. Though she had trouble staying asleep, she eventually managed to drift off until morning.<br/><br/>	“Huh?” The groggy Ralts asked as she fell out of bed. “Oh, yeah… that guy. So he totally didn’t pay us or anything yet, did he? He probably didn’t…” She eventually recovered and left with Nina, ranting about how the way things were like she usually did. She stopped when she noticed Dexter approaching, eager to hear his response.<br/><br/>	“Neat!” Rebecca said once he spoke. “We won’t let each other down, right?

""Alright, let's... GO!"" I end up shouting just due to the fact that I was excited to finally get out of the cold. Sure, I'll eventually grow to hate the heat, but for now, nothing in the world sounded better. I continued west until the snow thinned, showing grass, and then just showing dry, cracked soil. It was a strangely short walk for this sort of change in climate, but, the tower looming in the distance, if everything was true, was most likely the cause of this. The tower looked to be made of brass, or some other copper-colored metal, and it reflected sunlight just as well as such. I could see flames shooting out of one of the many openings in the place which really can't be safe for the inhabitants. Unfortunately, my eyesight wasn't good enough for me to tell what kind of pokemon made those flames, but it was intimidating, nonetheless. ""Heh... hey, M, if that last place was heaven for you, then this place.. well, I'm sure you can tell where I'm going with this. Also, at least you HAVE a place where you actually enjoy being on this adventure,"" After saying that, I start walking on the rickety bridge that leads to the place, my extremely light weight coming in handy as I approach the fiery, coppery tower of fire. I can only hope that the others will be just as lucky, as I really didn't want the thing to break on anyone. Unfortunately, this was just about when the heat started to become unbearable. The air seemed somewhat thick, and almost seemed suffocating, though, I knew it was still perfectly breathable.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	After everyone finally woke up, and Kamina picked me up again, we started heading to the west, where the temperature seemed to spike for some reason. Well, okay, I knew the reason, the temperature spiked because of the legendary dragon of fire, Reshiram. The tower itself was an amazing sight, if a little too bright due to its reflective qualities. There was a rickety, wooden bridge leading to the place, and apparently, its residents liked to breathe fire out through the various openings in the tower. Not only was the bridge unsafe, but just being in the tower itself carries a risk of either frying due to how hot metal can get, or falling if you make it past the second floor or so... and Arceus help you if you fall into the chasm below this place. Spruce, as suicidally confident as ever, decided to actually head towards the thing before anyone else could, as if he knew he was going to be used as a test for the bridge. Luckily, only him, Kamina, Celes, and I really needed to cross the bridge, as everyone else could either levitate or fly. I would have asked Matt to carry someone over, but, I remembered the incident with Blaze and Terra and figured that I already knew the answer to that: 'No, sorry, I can't'. I could have just used my stickiness to climb down the wall, head towards the tower from the chasm, and then climb back up the other side, but that would have taken forever. Instead, I just waited for Spruce, and commented ""This place is a deathtrap..."" to whoever could hear me at the time. Spruce seemed to already be halfway across the bridge, and everything seemed to be going okay, but I didn't want to test the bridge any more than we had to, just to avoid casualties.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Eventually, I made my way to the front of the line, and ordered three breakfasts. One for me, one for Tini, and last but not least, one for Eralion. They all consisted of the same thing, some random stuff, an apple, and a chesto berry, which I carried back to my team's room. Apparently, Eralion was amazed at just how long the line had gotten, or didn't know that I was going to get breakfast, as he seemed to be standing in it. I hand him his plate first, and say ""There you go, all the food, half the waiting. I ordered one for each of us... also, you look like a little teddy bear at this height,"" I chuckle at my observation, and head into the team's room, where Tini was. He was thankfully awake, so I wouldn't hear ramblings about 'Steve', or these things called 'squirrels'. I handed him his breakfast, and said ""Alright, since everyone's awake, we can go take on a mission. I don't know why, but I feel like I could take on the entire world if I needed to, today,"" I then sat down where my bed usually was, and started eating while thinking <span class=""bb-i"">Yeah... I really do feel more motivated to go and do things than I've ever been today. What's wrong with me? Does this happen every time you evolve? If so... then life must be weird for pokemon that evolve multiple times.</span> I finished my meal in record time, and rushed off to the mission board just to see if there was anything interesting to do today. Nothing seemed to really stick out to me, at least, not right now, but maybe I'd figure something out, soon. A few strange pokemon, specifically a kadabra, a kirlia, and a hypno head towards the mission board, but seem oddly repelled by my presence. ""Uh... hi?"" I said in a somewhat awkward tone, as I was confused about the whole ordeal, to which the kadabra responded ""Dark one... please move so we may access the board without having our minds bombarded by your corrupted thoughts,"" I looked at them even more confused, and decided to move over a bit, not wanting to get in their way... what was THAT all about?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Rebecca brought up the fact that we never got our pay, and I added ""Yeah! Didn't he say we were going to get paid for this? For his sake, I REALLY hope he's just an airhead, and he didn't cheap us out,"" I was still somewhat mad about this when Dexter visited us and told us that he was joining the team. I actually tried to calm myself down before saying anything, else I might mess up and say something in a tone that would drive Dexter away. ""Alright! We're a trio again... wait... 'for now'... what's that supposed to mean? You really don't trust us, huh? Ah, well, if you leave, you leave, I guess,"" I was too happy about having another teammate to think about them leaving again, and us being back down to two members again, and to keep my mind even further away from that thought, I ran to the board, picking out a mission involving a natu whose abra friend got lost somewhere on Mt. Dragoncoil, and... from whatever details the natu could get, it seems like the abra was lost somewhere near the top of the place, too. I claim the mission and head back down. ""Alright, I got us a mission. It's on Mt. Dragoncoil, apparently some abra got lost near the top of that place, and we're supposed to go find them,"" After announcing the mission to my teammates, I ran back out, and headed towards Scale city, which was at the foot of Mt. Dragoncoil. It wasn't very hard to get there, at least, not after the world rearranged itself, as now, all we had to do was get past Sunswept plains... I then remembered the horror I saw there, and shivered for a moment. <span class=""bb-i"">We're not going to run into that thing again... we're NOT going to run into that thing again...</span> I reassured myself as I slowed my pace, a little bit, if nothing else, then to let Rebecca take the lead.</div>"

I just shrugged my magnets to rub off ice as I began following their lead, floating meekly since I hadn't healed properly from last night. ""Anyone got any food or anything like that? I feel terrible right now."" I asked, as we began walking to the outskirts of the lost town. My body tensed up against a quick change of climate, metal expanding and reopening some old wounds from last night. It didn't help my weakly glowing scar also seemed to give off a bit of pain, finally causing me to collapse once more and dunk right onto the rough dirt. ""Argh... Arceus..."" I said, propping myself up with my magnetic claws and trying to float again, trembling with large amounts of pain. Metal scabs on my body compacted right into the wounds, as if someone just drove knives into me. ""Okay... okay..."" I had laboured breathing but I continued onwards, too stubborn to accept help. It seemed as if the purple scar was trying to influence my decisions once more as I moved forwards, only to limp in silence and trundling against Spruce. ""Arceus damn it... apologies Spruce, I'm not really at the peak of my health."" His words earlier grated at me, while all I could do was leer at the looming tower of fire and metal.

After almost freezing to death, the warmth of this area was a very welcome change. The closer they got to the tower, though, the warmer it got. By the time they got to the bridge leading to the tower, it was unbearably hot. Josh figured he would be able to handle it, at least until they reached the top of the tower, but he couldn't say the same for some of his teammates.<br/><br/>   They had a bigger problem at the moment, though. The bridge seemed unstable and dangerous, and to make matters worse, it was the only way they could get to the tower. Even though Josh could simply float over to the other side, there were a few people in the group that couldn't. Spruce seemed light enough to cross safely, and even though Anthony and Celes were a bit heavier, they might still make it. Kamina would be a problem, though. There was no way this bridge was stable enough to hold him.<br/><br/>   ""How are we going to get Kamina over there?"" Josh asked. ""He weighs at least 500 pounds. There's no way he'll be getting across without it breaking.""<br/>He started thinking for a moment. There might be a way to get Kamina across without the bridge, but Josh had nothing.

For him, it was actually hell cause he liked the cold... probably cause he was steel type and that he has less difficulty in the cold then others. She then though about something and chuckle softly. Would probably be the same for her... but it was funny to think that a eevee would evolve into a steel type. What... it would be slow as heck cause of how heavy it would be? Sure if would be resistant... but unless it would be a exception, steel type, especially pure steel, are not known for their speed, more for their defense. She breath deeply.<br/>""Hang in there M.

He moved and ate quickly, finishing his food before walking towards the mission board... and hearing what the psychic types and what they said. I frown at them.<br/>""Hey, not her fault she is like that. With the suffering she had in the past, I would give her a bit more respect!"" he then says... actually confident, not caring too much that they were psychic types. Sure... they could hurt him... but by doing that... the whole guild would probably help to teach a lesson here to that team. And with what they just said, it was just wrong.

In fact, he almost felt at home here ""ahhhh, now this is nice. Whoever designed this tower sure knows their stuff. It has a real homey feel to it. In fact, I could almost see myself living here."" Something that hadn't occurred to him was that as someone with the Fire and Water Types, Fire attacks would do practically nothing to him. That was probably the reason why he felt so at easy here (well, that and he's Kamina). However, he soon recalled that his teammates didn't feel as at ease around fire as he did 'Oh...that's right. Well that really sucks, and here I thought that we were all going to have such a good time here' Kamina addressed the others ""don't worry guys, everything is going to be just fine.

He was to preoccupied with his food to contribute much to the conversation, but he did take notice of Eralion blushing 'is he sick? I hope not...it would feel really crummy if we couldn't adventure with him today.' Once he was finished eating, he made his way to his team at the mission board, where a group of Psychic Types were giving poor Boniie some guff.<br/><br/>""How...rude!"" Tini was indignant (which looked extremely adorable to be honest). Giving the Psychic Types the stink eyes, he began mumbling to himself (ask not what he was mumbling, for that way lies madness). ""Just ignore those rude meanies Bonnie, Eralion and I still love you"" he told her as he crawled up her body, coiling himself around her in a full body hug ""just let the bad feels melt away.

That oughta hit that early day lethargy right in the gut.” The Ralts could sense that Nina was far from eager to go out into another Mystery Dungeon, judging by the negative emotions she was giving off in droves, but given that they both knew why, and she didn’t really feel like talking about it yet, she refrained from bringing it up until Dexter did.<br/><br/>	“Ok,” Rebecca said, “I’m not entirely sure what the hell it was, either, but it I can say with one hundred percent absolute certainty that whatever it was was not a Rattata.

It kind of reminded her of when Ergo’s computers weren’t working right (which happened more often than he liked to admit, though he always knew how fix it), but she didn’t think anyone would really understand what she meant if she told them that.

I didn't even enter the tower yet, and I felt like that. Sure, I probably wasn't, but it was still horrible feeling that way. M obviously didn't like it here, and he seemed somewhat annoyed at me bringing it up. ""No, I'm sorry. That was kind of a rude thing for me to say, huh?"" I then waited for the rest of them to get here, with M being the only one who followed me over. He then asked if I had any food, and I dug through my bag, which only confirmed that no, I didn't have a single thing. ""Uh... oh no... now I wish I didn't eat my last bit of food when I woke up,"" I said to him as I put my bag back on. I continued to wait for the others while making sure that the wild pokemon inside the tower didn't see me. Whatever was in there obviously liked the heat, and that fact spelled doom for me just as much as the icy forest spelled doom to me. Daniel and the rest of the group seemed to be trying to figure something out, and then it hit me. Kamina weighed about five hundred pounds, there's no way that bridge is stable enough to take his weight. I had some idea where everyone would try to float him over here, or, at least, the ones who could levitate or pick up things, which meant Josh, Matt, Daniel, M, and I would all try to get him over here, but I left it as a thought, and a bad one at that. There's no way we'd be able to pick him up when most of the pokemon in that group weighed less than twenty pounds, and might not be able to carry much more than that. I looked up at another stream of fire being released by some fire or dragon type or another, and thought about how useless I'd probably be in this place.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Spruce made it across safely and M followed him across thanks to his ability to levitate. For some reason, Daniel stayed behind for now, and asked a serious question that was probably just him parroting what a few other members were asking at the time. ""How the heck are we supposed to get Kamina across?"" then it hit me... we couldn't pick him up, he couldn't just walk across, and he can't fly or levitate. Daniel then jokingly asked ""How about he tries to splash his way over the bridge, huh?"" at first, I wanted to just dismiss that, but then I thought for a moment... what if he didn't use splash, but used bounce, instead? The bridge might be short enough for that, and it's more likely that Kamina knows Bounce than that he'd keep the move Splash around from his days as a magikarp. I then wondered what, exactly Kamina would have been like as a magikarp. It would have been hilarious to see a magikarp say the same things that Kamina says now. All of his fiery passion... and he would have been a magikarp, one of the most notoriously depressed and lazy pokemon in the world. I then finally asked it ""Kamina, do you think you could Bounce over there? As in, do you know the move 'Bounce'? I think that might be one way to get you across,"" Daniel then landed next to Kamina, and seemed to be analyzing him. ""You sure about that, Anthony? I mean, I suggested Splash as a joke, because, you know, he used to be a magikarp and everything... I'm not sure if he can actually jump to the other side, even if he uses Bounce,"" I then added ""You try telling him that, now that we've gotten the idea in his head... shoot... what have I done?"" I then tried to keep my distance, knowing that I could easily get over the bridge, myself, and Kamina might not want any extra weight on his head when he bounces... that, and I didn't want to end up in the chasm, myself.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The psychic types didn't pay any attention to my teammates' words and just picked out a mission. I figured out which mission it was, and remembered that it was the same mission I was almost planning to get, myself. Tini's hug stopped me from doing anything about it, however, and I just decided to try to pick out another, less interesting mission as a result of them taking the good one when I moved out of their way. I ended up picking a mission about a lost nidorino on Mt. Dragoncoil and showing that to my friends. ""Sorry, but this is all I could really find right now... the reward is supposedly an oran berry, so that'll be nice, right?"" I tried to cheer myself up a bit, and it seemed as if some of my motivation was gone just from the fact that I had to go with a more mundane mission. <span class=""bb-i"">I can't think like that... all these other pokemon need help. If they're going to help out with the mysterious thief, then that's for the better, just so long as they can handle that guy. I just need to think about this poor nidorina who got separated from her boyfriend on some mountain somewhere. Yeah, I'll make sure he's safe and sound!</span> I thought, finally cheering myself back up, and getting myself motivated to head out, again, this time for Mt. Dragoncoil to find a lost love interest. All I really had to do to get there, too, was get past Sunswept plains and go around Scale City. With what happened last time I tried to go through Scale City, I wasn't sure I'd be able to get through the place without getting myself hopelessly lost again. Oddly enough, on the way, I passed by a group consisting of a ralts, a female nidoran, and a growlithe. They seemed to have badges on, which means that they were probably fellow explorers, but... they could be from the other guild, and I knew that if I got too close, the ralts would sense me, and probably figure out that I'm from the opposite guild. I didn't want to scare anyone, so I tried my best to stay away from that group... it didn't go very well, as the nidoran almost instantly greeted me with ""Oh, hello there, are you an explorer too? Funny thing, I just saw a buneary... maybe she was your little sister, or something,""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Dexter seemed insistent on my fear being a simple rattata, but Rebecca corrected him pretty quickly, stating that what we saw was basically the opposite of that. ""Here's the best way I can describe what I just saw... imagine that someone was really mad at nature, itself... now imagine that they made this mess of an abomination as some sort of mockery and destroyer of everything nature made thus far... okay, maybe I'm exaggerating just a little bit, but the important thing is that it's probably not around, anymore... right?"" I then continued onward, certain in the fact that the... thing will never show up again. <span class=""bb-i"">How is that thing even alive? IS it alive? Maybe I should just stop thinking about it...</span> I think as I look all around the place. Thankfully, I don't find any pokemon that were out of place, save for one lopunny who seemed to be avoiding our group for some reason. At first, I thought she might be an agent of whatever that was until I noticed her badge. She must have been from another guild, or something, so I ended up greeting her with ""Oh, hello there, are you an explorer too? Funny thing, I just saw a buneary... maybe she was your little sister, or something,"" though, she simply ran off instead of providing an answer to my question. ""Well, she's weird,"" I then commented to the rest of the group as I noticed the wild pokemon seemed to be keeping their distance from me. It was probably for the best, as I didn't want to risk... no, I shouldn't even think about it. I didn't want to have waste my time fighting them when my mission wasn't even in this area, there, that's it.</div>"

I'm already across? That's a relief."" I said weakly, surprised to see how much closer I was to the tower. Seemed as if the heat was playing with me, the hot air filled my insides with malaise. Considering the warmth, it was definitely making me rather loopy and on the edge - well, I ended up floating erratically in the air and almost exposing myself to the chasm below, the abyss staring into me... and I stared back, slapping my head and trying to get my head straight. It was blowing hot air straight at me, and I had to move towards Spruce again on the dry crisp land to avoid making myself even more sick. I felt pained all over, but sooner or later I would end up forgetting about it. You know, you're exposed to the same thing then over time you'll get used to it. It was only partially true, but it was certainly better than constantly moaning. I just had to be quiet when Spruce had to bring some bad news when it came to food, hoping the tower would have some pots or... just about any containers that we could loot. They do exist right? Davis always told me about those things...<br/><br/>Just probably the heat getting to me. So parched, hostile and dry that a cactus would probably cringe here and die. In fact, up ahead towards the tower, it seemed as if the cacti around were all browned and decayed. Some tried to grow under the rotting piles of plant matter, but it seemed as if it was a repeating cycle here. Meanwhile, it seemed as if the horizon was just one single plane line, the flatness of the land being straighter than the Sunswept Plains. In fact, if you thought about it, this place was Sunswept Plains 2.0. How horrifying. At least the Plains didn't make me suffer the effects of a heatstroke, despite how murky the sun seemed in the sky. My metallic skin was dulled from our adventures together with the group, scratched up and producing blurred reflections of the world.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>That didn't even have anything to do with what I was talking about. Like I said, almost everywhere hurt and I was barely able to catch any words being exchanged by the group.<br/><br/>""So, Spruce..."" I asked, realising I still didn't even know much about our group about a week into our adventures. ""What's your history?

He had spent far more time honing his skill with Splash then anyone should spend training a skill. His knowledge of that one technique approached levels of transcendent insight, the kind needed to reach true enlightenment and achieve oneness with all that is and ever will be. He had more skill and experience with that technique then anyone had with any single technique they knew<br/><br/>...Maybe. It can be hard to tell with Kamina sometimes. Regardless, he was indeed very skilled in the use of Splash. After all, he had managed to devise a way to move about on land using it, which was proof enough of his mastery of it. So taking it to the next level; teaching himself a move that could very well be considered a useful version of Splash, seemed like it should have been the first thing he should have done upon evolving. ""Yeah...you're right"" whether he was talking to Anthony, Celes, or the voices in his head, it was impossible to tell. ""Why didn't I think of this earlier!? Yeah, let's do this!!!"" Kamina then proceeded to wrap himself around Celes, Anthony, and anyone else he could find on his side of the bridge ""alright, time to fly!!!"" The pile of Pokemon then <span class=""bb-i"">bounced</span> up into the air. Over the bottomless gorge (or maybe it did have a bottom?

Well, good luck on that mission, I guess.” She kind of wished every question in life would be so easily answered, but she supposed that this would take a lot of the fun out of the issue. Dexter seemed intent on not being conducive to… just about any kind of fun, actually. With the Lopunny out of the way, she decided to address the issue.<br/><br/>	“Ok,” Rebecca started, “First off, I’m pretty sure you weren’t gone “all day”, unless teleporting is a lot slower than it sounds.

He asked me what my life was like up until I got to where I was. ""Well... to be honest... I was actually an explorer for years and years, but before that, I was just an ordinary wild snivy living in some tree house in Birchwood forest, you know, before that as a mystery dungeon... I ended up in that now-famous team, The Wildvines, heck, I was their first member besides the leader, my brother, Vine. Seems great, right? Fame, money... yeah, I never had that. Heck, my brother, with his... let's call them... differences, always got in the way of attacks, and always stopped me from attacking so he could attack, instead. To be blunt, he never let me do a single thing, so I never got any stronger... soon enough, he forgot that I even existed. He took the stronger members of that team, often forgetting that yes, I still exist. I'm still a member. An entire year passed, and I continually tried to start my own exploration team, where everyone who's a member will get to go on all the missions, no matter how strong they were. Where nobody would try to steal the spotlight, so we wouldn't have any forgotten members... we would all get stronger together, you know? It... never happened. The guild leaders always just assumed I was joking, as, in their eyes, I had it all, and wanted to get rid of it for no reason. Then came that fateful day... the day where Vine disappeared. Somehow, for some reason, they listened to me, then... they let me make my own exploration team on that day... but, then came the constant questions 'Where's Vine?' 'have you seen Vine anywhere, Vine's brother?' 'You haven't seen Vine around, have you?'... these questions kinda got to me, and I'd always answer them pretty much in the same way, honestly. I haven't seen Vine for a few years at that point, let alone lately... funny... in a way, I guess I wanted to find my big brother... of course... all of that led me to take on my first mission, to save a magikarp in birchwood forest, my old home,"" I then took a few steps into the boiling hot tower, but not before helping M back into the air using vine whips, and on that first step, I could feel a burn. This wasn't going to be easy.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Kamina listened to me, and used Splash until it turned into the move 'Bounce', which he quickly used to get right over the bridge. <span class=""bb-i"">Is THIS what it's like to fly!? If so, then I'm GLAD I'll never grow wings!</span> I thought as myself, as well as Kamina, and a few others were jumping up into the sky, and then landing with a speed that I thought would kill at least someone. Spruce seemed to be talking M's non-existent ear off before helping him back into the air with his vines, and taking his first... obviously painful step into the tower. ""Okay... how the heck did you get SPRUCE to not only wait for something, but also talk your ear off without yelling at you? He's NEVER this patient,"" I commented as I made my way into the tower. The heat... actually felt really nice considering what I've been through lately, of course, that could also just be my dragon typing coming in, as well. A vulpix stood in my path, and I used dragonbreath to hit the thing before it could hit me. Oddly, even though there wasn't much ACTUAL sunlight, the place was bright enough, and warm enough to have pretty much the same effect as, say, sunny day, or drought. I just had to wonder if this applied to only this floor, or if it actually applied to the entire tower. The reason for that thought was the fact that, on rare occasions, vulpix, as well as ninetales might actually have the ability drought... the ability to bring this heat, and light into places such as a dark cave, or the ocean floor... of course, I could only assume that the ability was easier to use while they were outdoors, but apparently it was still usable indoors, as well.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Eralion asked me if I didn't want to talk to them, and I answered with ""It's not really that... it's just...

She was innocent, she didn't deserve to be hurt, so I had to stay away,"" I then hopped along, towards Scale City, passing by several pokemon that just didn't want to bother me, at all... as well as... something disturbing. A dead buneary... what made it worse was the fact that there was some weird, unidentifiable substance that seemed to be made out of small squares kept changing colors between black, pink, red, grey, and white leaking out of it, and as if it were gas, it was leaking into the air rather than all over the ground. Sure, there was the usual blood mixed in there, as well but... what the heck could have caused that?

Whether or not my teammates were at this point wasn't much of a concern to me. I was just going to wait at Scale City, however, I didn't go too quickly, as to lose them, just enough so we'd make it there in some decent amount of time.

Right, maybe Ms. Bunny just isn't that talkative, today,"" I then heard my other two teammates talking about whether or not we were just ashamed of what really happened here, and I had to interject ""I think that's enough for now... if you don't believe us, that's fine enough, you will eventually... it's kind of... a part of our guild work, in a way. You'll be right next to evidence of that event before you know it,"" I then continued onward, running into the lopunny again, though, she seemed to be running away from something that wasn't us, this time. I walked over to it... and remembered who that was... ""She took a sky attack for us... but... that doesn't look like it was any ordinary move... I mean... what's this weird stuff?"" I said to nobody in particular as I approached the buneary corpse that seemed to have parts from that horrible pokemon that attacked us leaking out of her body where the Sky Attack hit her. There really wasn't much blood leaking out, and whatever did during the short time it was alive during the attack already dried, but this stuff... not only did it rise up from the leaking point, as if it were gas, or some other thing less dense than air, but it didn't really look like anything from this world... well, okay, it looked like exactly ONE thing from this world... THAT thing. I decided to take another step towards the formerly alive bunery... and the thing sprung to life, its eyes weren't really visible behind what I could only describe as static, and worse, the thing decided to attack me with a weird variant of the move 'Pound', knocking me backwards a couple feet. I had no words. This was literally a pokemon come back from the dead just to attack us. I could only hope that Dexter saw all of this, and knew what was going on, 'cause if he saw this, and STILL didn't believe us, I don't know what would get him to believe.</div>"

That is why she was asked to evolve back there. So that she could be stronger, but she was not interested in those forms anyway. She breath deeply as she looks back at the tower. Everyone was in the other side now, so soon they would go in the tower to try to get to Reshiram. Seeing a legendary up close like that will be interesting.

Josh said. He honestly didn't think that would work.<br/><br/>   There were some mixed reactions as the group took their first steps into the tower. Anthony seemed unaffected by the heat, as opposed to Spruce, who looked like he was in pain. Josh assumed that it had something to do with type advantages, or more specifically, how resistant they were to fire attacks. Obviously, this was going to be a problem, but there was an easy solution.<br/>""Spruce, I'm sure Kamina wouldn't mind if you ride on his head."" Josh said.

Spruce told me his side of the story the first time I was crippled. The second and my last is now, is it not? Don't worry, we'll get there. We'll get there alright. You just gotta be patient and... need to know the entire story.<br/><br/>So, I rolled around and got comfortable on the ground, preferring to rest against the warmth of the ground as it poured into me. It was certainly painful but I couldn't complain forever, and I had to suck it up like any other Pokemon in this world. There were all sorts of injustices around us, but it was better to shut up about it because every solution took time. Maybe my suffering would be ended by another fire attack. Maybe I'd find some food in there to get me properly healed up. Right now I was starving and... if Davis were to scan me, he'd be horrified at the slither of life I still had. He also probably wouldn't expect the appearance of feathers and other interesting developments on my body - although in all honesty, they seemed a lot less pronounced and noticeable than before. Maybe they had something to do with my mindset or emotions...<br/><br/>""Go on Spruce."" I rasped, smothering myself on the baked dirt and pretending I was at home with Davis. All the stories he'd read in my sleep, about heroes and ancient history... just thinking about them made me sleepy. To be polite though, I let my thoughts run and avoided sleep to listen to Spruce, hearing out what he had to say for himself as the leader of our group. He went on about having a brother who always overshadowed him and made him feel unworthy, how he never had the chance to prove himself...<br/><br/>I listened to him as I coughed and my breath became dry. All the way to the end, I absorbed his words and realised what this was about: this Pokemon never got the chance to be a real adventurer until now. Problem was, it seemed as if we were caught up in something that was no longer about fame. Me? I didn't really care for anything. I would've be a drifter if it weren't for Spruce, aimlessly wandering the world for meaning. Now, here we are... risking our lives to save some village. Certainly better than plotting against a missing Pokemon, am I correct? ""Spruce..."" I cleared my voice with a heavy cough, spitting out dust as my magnets (though at this point they were barely magnets) spun in reaction. Must've blown into my mouth or something whilst listening to Spruce. ""You did the right thing. If it weren't for you, I'd just be a loner without a purpose. Yet he we are: we're gonna overturn the wraith of a legendary, and stop the world from witnessing an old horror. Even if it doesn't mean I'll..."" I frowned and looked away from Spruce, rolling my back to him. ""My name's Miles."" I dropped, preferring to entrust my respect for someone for once. ""I used to have a peaceful life until my guardian left me. I really did think I wouldn't be any different to the Pokemon we're fighting until I joined you. Sure I got a nasty scar and you got greyed, but it really do think it was worth it."" <br/><br/>Spruce didn't want me to mark out my own grave just yet, lifting me out of the dirt and into the air. Initially I almost slammed back into the dirt, until I kicked in my levitation (with great pain) and stabilised myself. I felt somewhat dizzy from the experience of being thrown into the air, but now was the time to act and not die. ""Alright... let's go out with a bang, I guess."" I said, grinning for the first time in a while. Maybe this was my resting place (a thought that remains true now as I lie bleeding), but I sure as hell wanted to know I wouldn't fall without a fight. The tower ahead of us was certainly tall and intimidating, a stark contrast to the relative flatness of the hot lands around us. This certainly seemed like Reshiram's place, a tower of various welded scrap metals and tied together with pipes. I could identify bikes, cars... and disturbingly a few Steel Pokemon in there. Steam billowed out of dark holes of the tower in a randomised loop that sometimes collided with other streams, and many ramparts of mashed metals surrounding the tower like . It certainly shone with a clean glare, with rust in a few places disrupting the painful view. Yes, the whole tower was made of ancient human artefacts, but it seemed as if someone had the time to layer the outside with bronze as to cover up any imperfections. Sunlight wasn't going to stop me now, however.<br/><br/>""Kamina, I don't appreciate being dragged off, alright? Also, apologies."" I felt as if making amends was my next step. Wasn't fair to take my anger out on someone who had suffered as dearly as ourselves. Besides, he's helped us on many things, from tanking hits to leaping impossible distances with others. Speaking of which, I pretended to ignore a large gust of air that nearly threw me off-balance, knowing it was just a certain Pokemon's antics (that also saved the day). Stupidly though, he ended up drawing a fight already, something I was admittedly willing to staying away from. ""Yes, I'm ready. Question is who isn't?"" I asked, pointing to a fight ahead of us in the tower.<br/></div>"

Bah, that doesn't matter! I'll figure out the minor details later. Either way, this is going to be so amazing...wait, didn't I already say that? Eh, whatever."" After his rambling, he noticed that M was apologizing to him for something. ""ah, don't worry about it little buddy. I forgive you for whatever it is your sorry for."" It was kind of cute, Kamina thought, that he was remorseful enough about something that Kamina didn't bother to remember. However the time for contemplation was over, for now was the time for action.

I smiled as I recalled that fateful day. ""We're going to make it through this, I promise. I won't leave you behind, Miles, we WILL make it to the top of this tower, both of us,"" I then heard Josh suggest something that I probably should have thought of, and I took Anthony's spot on Kamina's head. A flamethrower attack headed right for Anthony, who took it like a champion, and finished the thing who shot him off with his own breath attack, a dragon breath attack, to be more precise. I then used my vantage point to scan for any sort of food item that Miles could use, and, off to my left, I found one, an oran berry that looked a little cooked, but... he probably wasn't too picky at this point, even if he preferred the cold to the heat. ""Miles, over there! An oran berry!"" I pointed out to him before realizing that he might not have the strength to get there, himself. I then brought him the berry using my vine whips, even if it hurt me, a little bit, just due to the fact that they had to touch the floor. I then waited for Kamina to continue on, knowing that I'd still be able to attack from up here, if I needed to, at least. <span class=""bb-i"">Vine whip is actually getting kinda strong... weird... isn't it usually the weakest grass type move that doesn't drain life?</span> I thought to myself as I recalled the fact that I never forgot vine whip, how that, somehow, was one of my go-to moves for both utility and battle... it just didn't make sense, though, that a MOVE, of all things, could be trained.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Spruce and M seemed to have some sort of conversation about not giving up or something while I finished off this vulpix. I then tried to run over towards an oran berry that I might need later, however, Spruce got to it first, and he gave it directly to the very beaten up looking magnemite on the team. I thought about saying something rude or snarky, but decided against it, and just continued on, with Spruce taking my place on Kamina's head, and me taking his place at the front of the team. ""At this rate, Kamina, your head will never go naked again,"" I joked as I tried to look for the stairs, all the while, trying to make sure nobody spots me. It wasn't all that easy, however, and a dratini noticed me, and used its own dragon breath on me. Thanks to the tough helmet, I didn't take nearly as much damage as I should have, and I retaliated by using the same move against it... though, somehow, it dodged, and stuck its tongue out at me, as if mocking me for missing, or something. I had a feeling that someone else might be able to handle this fight. Someone like... a steel type, or something. Even if I had that helmet, I wasn't getting anywhere with that thing dodging my attacks somehow. <span class=""bb-i"">If only M wasn't out of order right now, he'd be able to KO that dratini...</span> I thought as I headed back to my team, where the dratini can't attack me, thankfully. A steam vent almost blew my helmet off, but thankfully, I managed to catch it before anything really happened with that, and I took a look at the walls, wondering just what, exactly those things that made up the wall were... M seemed to recognize him, maybe I could ask him?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Eralion and Tini thankfully had the right idea, and they both ran as far away as they could from the corpse. Tini, being Tini, wrapped himself around me and tried to comfort me. <span class=""bb-i"">I... guess he's right... but, still... no, I should just focus on the mission, bringing that nirorina to her lost boyfriend.</span> I thought before eventually answering with ""Y...you're right, Tini, we should focus on the mission, huh?"" I then gave him a possibly fake smile and just continued onward, wondering what might have become of that other team... they seemed to be heading in the same direction we were heading in, so, clearly they would have run into the corpse, as well, right? Eralion expressed that he had a bad feeling about the weird stuff coming out of the corpse, and I nodded in agreement. ""Whatever that was, it sure as heck wasn't natural..."" I explained as I continued on, making it all the way to Scale City without any issues, whatsoever... that is, until I remembered just how lost I can become in that place. ""How about we... go around this place, huh? I'd rather not end up lost again,"" I asked the team, remembering what happened on our last mission, the one involving a keckleon, and some stupid gang or something, and more importantly THIS city. I then started heading around the city, itself, which was pretty much the only way I could make it past this place without getting hopelessly lost at least three times, unfortunately. I then looked up to see our goal, that mountain that looked suspiciously like a dragon's head, teeth and all, and from that, as well as from what I know of Scale City, I assumed that I would run into a wide variety of dragon types, and pretty much ONLY dragon types on this mountain.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Rebecca expressed her frustration with zombies, and the undead in general while Dexter decided to kill the thing with fire, which seemed thankfully effective. Rebecca also used her confusion attack to send the thing away, which seemed at least moderately effective, and, since I had no attacks that could hit from a distance, I decided to run up to the thing, and use double kick... which didn't do much at all considering the fact that this was supposedly a normal type pokemon. ""What the heck...?"" I asked myself before the thing ignored me to try to use Frustration on Rebecca. I tried to get in the way, but I wasn't fast enough, so, the attack was still aimed at Rebecca. <span class=""bb-i"">Why in the world didn't Double Kick do anything? This is a NORMAL type pokemon, right? As in... fighting super-effects it, right? No, something isn't right... at all. This THING, whatever it is now, is no normal pokemon.</span> I thought as I tried to think of another move to use. Maybe the thing could still be poisoned, despite the fact that it's technically dead? It was at least worth a try, though, right? The other team had the right idea about this thing... running as far away from it as they could, and I would have done the same by now if my team wasn't in danger. Dexter's fire was oddly effective, again, given that it's supposed to be a normal type, but, clearly, as my double kick attack showed, it wasn't just any ordinary normal type, at least, not anymore. If I thought there was even a shred of that buneary who helped us back there, I might have been more hesitant to attack, however, I knew that wasn't the case from how it moved, and how it attacked... it might very well have been just a corpse puppet rather than an actual undead pokemon.</div>"

That was better off left to someone with an advantage, like Celes or M.<br/><br/>   In the corner of his eye, Josh noticed something moving. He turned around to see a Growlithe trying to sneak up behind them. Josh used Hydro Pump on it, which wasn't nearly as effective as he hoped it would be.

Her knowledge of type effectiveness was shakier than it probably should have been, but she did know that the Buneary’s weaknesses were as strange as the Buneary itself. This was a situation that called for playing it safe.<br/><br/>	“Hold on,” Rebecca said, “I think I can help out with this.” She stood in place and began to chant, saying a variety of words that would seem to be of a mystical quality to the uninitiated, but in actuality were nonsense that she was coming up with as she went.

We went from fending off a bird against Kamina to popping through dangerous and confusing voids. There was still the problem of Desia and that devilish formula, alongside further grey voids popping up in populated areas. Even then, we'd probably have to figure out as to why there are mystery dungeons... assuming we all live to see that day. ""Okay, I guess I'll have to tell Yveltal I'm not ready yet."" I rasped out, almost snickering as I applied my feathers to my forehead and started brushing away the remaining dust. I watched as Spruce took over Anthony's spot and - I will admit, watching Spruce crawling up Kamina's head like an obstacle was cute - otherwise swapped out of an attack that would've burned Spruce badly.<br/><br/>Huh, we were fighting already. Anthony bravely took the hit as battle-lines were drawn, Celes blasting a sly Dratini with a brilliant flash of pink light. I covered my eyes briefly as I started hovering over towards the fight, red glowing lava light embalming everyone including myself. Red seemed to fit me well actually. It wasn't long until more attacks started bombarding the field, missing us all but still intent on causing a serious disruption. Funnily enough, it knocked over what appeared to be an oven and popped out a berry, something I immediately desired for and latched my attention onto Spruce - why? He was busy plucking the berry and knew who to pass it to, zipping it upwards with abnormal strength (for a plant).<br/><br/>I briefly spied Anthony seemingly frowning at Spruce when he snatched the berry and passed it towards me, having little to say in the manner. I couldn't really see why he'd be like that, since I could actually feel my health <span class=""bb-s"">bar</span> edging closer towards critical failure. Didn't help I actually visualised it, being as analytical as I usually am.<br/><br/>...never-mind, there was a berry in the air. I almost dozed off, but unusually quick reactions and a series of fast magnets managed to grasp the rather bouncy berry. I looked at it oddly, unsure whether or not eating a cooked Oran berry would exactly be beneficial towards the user. Either way we didn't have anymore time to waste, quickly letting a red mist seep into me as the berry turned to hot ashes. (Yes, that just happened; let's not talk about it.) Within seconds I felt invigorated and ready to break bones again, cackling and commenting on how long it had been since I felt this good. I probably wouldn't 'eat' another cooked berry again though.</div>"

You do that,"" after his remark about him telling Yveltal that he's not ready for death yet, and decided to not ask him about the whole weird... red mist thing that happened when he used that berry. After its use, Miles seemed much more energetic, ready to take anything down... just as well, after Celes finished off that dratini with her moonblast, we were apparently about to get ambushed by a growlithe. Matt put up his screens, and Josh used hydro pump on the thing... which was somehow still standing. <span class=""bb-i"">Oh, right, this place, in general counts as 'harsh sunlight'...</span> I thought as I tried to think about what move to use. I would have used vine whip, but then I remembered that obviously, that won't do much damage, so, instead, I used void whip against the growlithe... who took that as an opportunity to use ember on me, damaging me quite a bit just due to the heat and type effectiveness alone. Anthony then barged in with muddy water... though, that didn't seem to do as much as he probably thought it would. ""Huh... so this place DOES replicate the effects of harsh sunlight..."" Anthony said after noticing the fact that both his, and Josh's attacks were almost resisted by the growlithe. I simply responded with ""Well, yeah, I could have told you that one, Anthony,"" was he trying to sound smart there? All he really did was figure out, and then blurt out the obvious after everyone else already figured it out. Anthony seemed annoyed by my response, though, he didn't say anything else for some reason. I then answered Kamina's awkward question with ""Er... it's nice to be able to pick stuff up with them...?"" I really didn't know what else to say to a weird question like that.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	After I essentially tagged out of battle, only to have Celes easily finish off the dratini with a single moonblast, and have her start complaining about our food situation. ""Yeah, I agree... I mean, it was tough enough just getting here, right?"" I would have continued talking to her, but Josh noticed something, and used hydro pump on it as soon as he could, and almost as soon as someone else put up a couple of defensive screens. Something was trying to ambush us, and I ran as fast as I could to get to the intruder, and use muddy water on what was quickly revealed to be a growlithe... who somehow took the attack, and was still standing. <span class=""bb-i"">That's odd... I thought that only really happened because of the vulpix, not just because of this place in general.</span> I thought as I ended up blurting out ""Huh... so this place DOES replicate the effects of harsh sunlight..."" to which, Spruce rudely responded with ""Well, yeah, I could have told you that one, Anthony,"" and for a moment, I thought about telling him to stop being so rude to me... but then I just figured that would start another fight, and decided against it just because I didn't wan the team to end up split up. Sure, we were less likely to get lost here than when we were split up in the Northern Forest, but the enemies seemed tougher, and this place had a gimmick that helped out pretty much all of its inhabitants, while hindering a few of us. Breaking my thoughts, Daniel finished off the growlithe with a shadow tackle, which seemed to be stronger than it used to be for some reason. ""There, now we can keep moving forwards, right?"" Daniel asked, and I just nodded, and continued forwards now that the way was clear.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini just ran ahead, and past a trio of dratini who all tried to use twister against him, though, due to his... er... unique typing, I doubt that he even noticed. ""Tini, wait up!"" I shouted as I tried to catch the quick pink snake pokemon, and, thankfully, once I did, I found the client, a nidorina who didn't seem to actually know that we took the mission for some reason. ""Who are you?"" she asked us, and I answered with ""We're Team Green... we're the ones who took your mission,"" she then responded with ""Huh. I thought you'd be more... green,"" though, she still joined us, taking her place at the back of the line, behind Eralion. I wasn't paying too much attention, but as we headed up the mountain, I overheard her saying things like 'cute' and 'teddy bear', probably to or about Eralion, given his size and shape. I also overheard something slithering behind us, and look back only to see a familiar dratini trio. I jumped over both Eralion and the client just to make sure they can't get to her, and I take three... rather weak twister attacks. I retaliated with a frustration, which was enough to knock out one of them, and I started to feel a little bad about this... they seemed to be very young children, rather than something that actually posed a threat to us... then again, our client didn't seem too strong, and they might get to her if I didn't do that. They broke my thought process by hissing, and making me remember when Nate, and the others from Sunswept plains regressed into, well, that. Thankfully, I got out of there in time, as did my friends... but the others... Nate, in particular seemed so smart before that, and for him to be reduced to that... whatever was making these mystery dungeons, it had to be powerful, and corrupting.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	The ember, just like last time, seemed to deal some serious damage to the thing, and the thing having missed Rebecca, headed right for Dexter with a frustration attack, and once that was done, the thing tried to target me. I had a thought, though, and braced myself for attack, all the while, trying to make absolute sure that the thing hits the spike on my head. Its attack hits, and, while it hurt just like I expected, I also managed to poke the thing with my venomous horn, a clear ooze having made its way both into an open 'wound', and onto the palm of its hand. <span class=""bb-i"">Now let's see if this thing can get poisoned...</span> I thought as I just waited there for a bit. The thing stumbled around, and seemed to take some damage from an unknown source. That was weird... usually, when things were poisoned, they threw up, coughed, moaned, groaned, and generally got sick... they normally didn't just 'take damage' like this thing did. After that oddity, I decided to use flash tackle on the thing, covering myself in a bright light before ramming into it, and honestly hoping not to surprise or blind our newest teammate. My line of thought was that if this thing was such an unholy abomination, then surely some sort of holy-esque attack would actually hurt the thing, and, sure, it did... it just didn't hurt it as much as I thought it would, unfortunately. The thing was knocked back from my attack, but it didn't seem particularly effected by it for some reason. <span class=""bb-i"">That's odd... then again I could count the 'normal' things about this, er, mockery with a single hand... and I don't even have five fingers.</span> I thought as the thing tried attacking Dexter again.</div>"

Now they could keep moving, at least until another wild Pokemon shows up. Honestly, the chances of that were pretty high, so Josh wasn't letting his guard down yet. He took a quick look around to make sure they weren't about to get ambushed again, and thankfully there were no wild Pokemon nearby, or at least none that he could see.<br/><br/>   Josh noticed that Spruce and Anthony still weren't getting along. Anthony was at least doing what he could to avoid starting an argument, but it was clear that Spruce was making that difficult.<br/>""Spruce. Can we talk for a moment?"" He didn't really care what Spruce's answer was. He was talking to him anyway. ""I've seen the way you've been treating Anthony. You clearly have a problem with him, and I want to know why.""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   Rebecca said something in some kind of foreign language, which made the entire team glow slightly. The Buneary then tried and failed to attack her, and went for Dexter next. He was pretty close at that point, so he ended up taking a hit. It knocked him back a little, but he was still standing. He retaliated with yet another Ember, and for some reason this still wasn't enough to kill it.<br/>""This shit's getting old fast."" He growled. This thing was awfully resilient.<br/><br/>   Nina managed to poison it, then used some kind of weird light tackle. It stumbled backwards, then turned towards Dexter. This time, he saw the attack coming. He was able to jump out of the way before it hit him, and used this as an opportunity to Ember it once again. Hopefully, this would be enough, because Dexter's patience was really starting to wear thin.</div>"

It was strange enough that they'd use scrap to build up the place, considering how it was almost a beacon in this parched wasteland. Either way, more wild Pokemon here to fight, I guess. Hopefully that didn't come with the more... stranger types - the Sunswept Plains felt alien enough with traces of mysterious footprints and odd patterns, but only Arceus knew what was here though. Aside from a legendary we hopefully wouldn't fight (you know it's probably gonna happen).<br/><br/>I darted around the room with my new energy, eventually settling back into my old annoyed attitude. Someone definitely mishandled that berry and left me energetic for a while, and not the electrical type mind you. Eventually it was only my eyes moving, shifting around to see Spruce and Josh starting to talk. Though, they didn't exactly sound friendly with one-another, something we didn't need in our new party. I'll be honest, I still don't know much about the other team. Even as I froth my own blood on this floor and call out silently for the others, I wasn't familiar with the party we involved ourselves in.

Josh then asked Spruce to have a word with him. She guessed it was cause of how he was reacting to Anthony, and she had it right when she heard what was being said. Having good ears does permit you to hear what was going on anyway. She breath deeply and simply moved forwards, not wanting to get into the conversation right now. She did try to speak to Spruce about it when it came to that other shadow pokemon... she didn't want to hear about it that much anyway. She kept moving, looking back at the group.<br/>""I think we should change our tactic a bit. Water type moves here won't work as effective here. I know how I will fight here at least."" she then said. Hidden power... she knew her hidden power was ground type, which would be a huge advantage in a place like this.

He moved forwards as he then sees the dratini's attack the group. He then attacked using bullet punch at one of the dratini, actually KO-ing it in one strike. All this training might have paid off. He felt bad cause they looked like children... but they were hostile... He didn't understand why they were hostile though. <br/>""Lets take care of the last one and continue on please."" he then says, a bit annoyed right now.</div>"

It was the way these situations worked, after all.<br/><br/>	“This <span class=""bb-i"">is</span> taking a while…,” Rebecca noted agreeably, <font color=""#f49ac2"">“Hey, uh, undead abomination thing? You’re doing a really nice job with this whole creepy schtick, but you’re also really good at being a damage sponge. I don’t really have a problem with that, I mean, that’s a pretty valuable talent, but I also feel like you’re also pretty heavily outmatched. So if you could just sort of call it a draw, I’m pretty sure we could all move on to something a little more productive and save ourselves some valuable time. I guess that’s not really as valuable to you as it is to the rest of us, but no one likes wasting things, so I think it’s a fair request.”</font> Her words manifested themselves in the form of her Disarming Voice, the sheer number of her words providing a convincing amount of force to the attack.<br/></div>"

While Kamina on the other hand, could shrug off those very same moves. Hell, he could probably tank a Blast Burn from a Pokemon his level without much problems. So yeah, Kamina wasn't too worried about his health in this place, as he would be surprised if anyone but the legendary here was able to do him serious harm. ""Alright! Onward to adventure and other such awesome stuff!"" Kamina made sure to be at the front of the group, so that he would get hit before anyone else, if they got ambushed.

I couldn't come up with any concrete answers, unfortunately. ""Um... I... I don't know. Maybe it was just from when he made us all wait for hours back at the start of the adventure? I really don't know why I don't get along with him... I'll try to get along with him, though, I can tell it's starting to make the rest of the team worry,"" as I said that, Daniel flew overhead, and I recalled when he helped me through the forest... I didn't like him that much until after that... hm... maybe I just don't like Anthony because of his time as an outlaw, because of his slow speed at the start of this adventure, and because he hasn't done anything of that magnitude to help us, yet? That seemed a little selfish, but, maybe that was it... I then felt bad for thinking that way about him, and tried to focus on his more positive traits, on the things he's helped us achieve. I recalled when he took a fire attack for Mile, and how he boldly went on ahead of the team to see if we were safe, and, when we weren't, he even took a super-effective attack to the chin. I then turned towards Anthony, who stayed behind to hear all of this, and finally said ""Anthony... I'm sorry for being a jerk. I... I dunno what happened, I dunno why we couldn't get along, and it was probably my fault,"" Anthony smiled, and said ""Thanks.

I decided to listen in, as this interested me, as well. Unfortunately, it seemed as though Spruce had absolutely no idea what made him act like this, and, just as he was saying that, Daniel flew over his (and Kamina's) head. Daniel was probably thankful that he has wings, else he'd have to walk on this hot metal, which probably wasn't too comfortable for Celes, or Spruce before he got on Kamina's head. Spruce then did something I never thought he'd do... he apologized for acting like a complete jerk, and I responded with ""Thanks. I'm sure I did something to provoke this too, so, sorry,"" either the heat of this place was getting to his head, or he genuinely wanted our teams to finally work together, for once. Either way, the place seemed somewhat less hostile, and a set of stairs was found, and thankfully, no wild pokemon were around them. Things were really looking up for us, by now. I headed up the stairs, only to find Daniel eating an apple. That only reminded me that I didn't have much to eat, yet, and the look on my face must have given that thought away, as Daniel offered me another. I had no idea where he got it from, but I took the apple, and ate the thing in one bite. ""Thanks Daniel, but... where'd you get this from?"" He responded with ""Well... there's a bunch in the next room. It's like some sort of buffet, or something.

I was a little conflicted, but I ended up using frustration on the last one, finishing it off. ""Sorry, Tini, but I don't think they're willing to listen. Maybe something else is controlling them and making them do evil things, or something,"" I explained to Tini as the group moved onward. I tried to make sure I was at or near the front, mainly to protect the client, who started talking about how amazing her boyfriend is, and how sad it is that he had to get lost in a place like this. I had to agree, as the last thing we'd want was an angry or annoyed client. ""...anyways, I didn't like the color of the badge he gave me, but it's the thought that counts, right?"" she asked after her long speech about her birthday. I was about to respond when a druddigon ran up to me, and used night slash. It hurt, but not nearly as much as it should have, for some reason. ""Huh!? HEY! THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HURT YOU MORE!"" The thing yelled at me in rage. I took note of his gender, and used attract, which had him mumbling about me within moments. ""Sorry, Tini, but I had to do it... I don't want to touch his rough skin,"" I said to Tini, who would probably be angry at me for using that move.

Once it was done for, more of that weird stuff just blasted out of it, thankfully missing all of us, and that stuff, whatever it was just dissipated into the air soon enough. ""So, Dexter, this is the kind of stuff we have to deal with every day. Do you believe us about the weird... thing trying to kill us now?"" I asked Dexter. I would seriously be surprised if he still didn't believe in whatever we were fighting after all of this. ""So... mission on Mt. Dragoncoil, let's hope this one's normal, am I right?"" I then told the group, probably reminding them of what we were supposed to do in the first place. I then ran off to Mt.

Before I got to ask why there were disagreements in the group, Josh had already begun expressing his relief as I hung back, wondering why all the tension if it was just over some petty things. Then again, I had a bit of a disagreement between myself and Kamina. Speaking of which, I forgot briefly as to why everyone was riding on him - this place felt like an oven, and one would assume the floor to be downright dangerous to touch. Seemed as if the heat was coming from the top, based from the expanding metals around the contracting walls and junk.<br/><br/>Regardless, we started to move upstairs, making our way to the legendary who would likely help us - assuming having his minions attack us meant help. We didn't even get far when we stumbled across a room Daniel discovered, full of pots and half-cooked berries. ""I don't know about you, but real storage rooms would probably have some sort of temperature control. Especially in this place - who even likes cooked berries? Not me, certainly.""</div>"

Miles griped about how the food was cooked just due to the heat, and I responded with ""Well... maybe fire types either don't mind their berries cooked, or prefer them that way... actually, Kamina, you're a fire type, right? Do you like cooked berries?"" I found out that I was asking a stupid question after it was too late to correct myself and tried to come up with a way to get the food without triggering whatever trap or ambush might be set up, as Josh pointed out. I then came up with something ""Hey... what if I used vine whip, while Josh and Matt used their psychic powers to lift the thing with me? We'd only need one box of the stuff, right, and they'll probably be expecting someone to just walk in there, assuming that it's safe, right? Well... with this, nobody would be there for whatever trap they have set up,"" I then waited for other ideas and plans to get at least one box of food from this place... even if it was burned, it was still food, and that was something we needed desperately at this point. Then again... how did they know we'd need it? Maybe they didn't know, but just assumed that explorers, no matter how much food they had, would want more... which might actually be correct, given that food isn't as easy to come by in mystery dungeons as you'd think it would be.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	The others quickly joined us, and both Josh and Celes chimed in on the fact that this could very well be a trap. Spruce must have been pretty determined to get the food, though, and honestly who can blame him when our bags were as empty as they were right now. If I hadn't eaten that apple, that would have reminded me of just how hungry I was at the moment. Spruce put together some sort of plan involving psychic powers, and his vine whips, but... something told me that it might not work. ""Well, if that doesn't work, we could always get Daniel to just bring us some more apples, though, his bag can't carry as much as those crates, so, he'd have to make multiple trips... he'll just have to be careful, right?"" Daniel looked at me, and seemed just a little worried about his portion of the plan, but I tried to reassure him with ""You were in that room before, right? I'm sure you can do whatever you did again,"" this seemed to work, a little bit, and he seemed less worried, but... I kinda wondered if he'd even get to do it... then again, maybe if he took some from the crate they were trying to pick up, it would be easier, and he could keep taking food from it until they can lift it up with their various powers. I paced back and forth, having pretty much nothing else to do, and I got a little close to the room and heard a growling sound from above... seems like I figured out what their trap is... some sort of monster house, where they're all waiting in ambush on the ceiling... somehow. I backed away, and the growling stopped. If we triggered that... well, this mission wouldn't end well... who knows how many pokemon there were up there, let alone how many can strengthen every one of their allies in a room.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Eralion exposed a weak point for the druddigon, and Tini looked at me with those puppy dog eyes of his for a moment before going completely nuts against the thing, obviously finishing it off as he spammed fairy wind, something that the druddigon didn't see coming, at all. ""So... um... onward?"" I asked, somewhat uncomfortable with just how crazy Tini went. I've never seen him like this, usually, when he goes crazy, it's a happy sort of crazy that involves hugs and cookies... this time, it just included an all-out attack. Our client mumbled something, and I managed to overhear ""Why do I always get the crazy ones?"" though, I felt that if I responded, it would only make her think I'M crazy, too. I simply shook my head, and we continued up the mountain, running into something I didn't expect to see here... a dragonite. An angry dragonite, as well. ""YOU! WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN!?"" I then thought back to the trio of dratini who all tried to attack us... and ended up stuttering with ""Um, uh..."" she then repeated ""WHERE ARE THEY!?"" though, at this point, her voice sounded more like a roar than a yell, and she decided to attack us with dragon rush, hoping to hit more than one of us. I barely managed to jump over the attack, and I yelled ""Someone! Protect the client!"" I didn't really care who did it, and unfortunately, I only realized my mistake after I jumped, but either Eralion or Tini would probably do a decent job of protecting her. Eralion would counter, and Tini would be immune to the attack... and either way, the dragonite's going to take some serious damage, afterwards.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	""So, now you'll believe me when I say that we were basically attacked by some sort of eldritch monolith? 'Cause... that's kinda what happened the day before this, you know, when we teleported away,"" I responded to Dexter finally saying that he believes us. That... was kind of the only way to describe the creature that killed that buneary, and used its corpse as a puppet after death. I was trying to put that day behind me, and Rebecca helped by pointing out that we still have a mission to do on Mt. Dragoncoil. I nodded, and said ""Yeah, let's find that abra on the top of the mountain... poor guy probably got lost after a missed teleport, or something,"" I then continued towards Mt. Dragoncoil, and notice a city at the foot of the mountain... while I almost wanted to visit it, and see what it might have to offer, given that it seems to be about double the size of Treasure Town, but... again, we were on a mission, and that abra isn't going to stay in one place for very long. I gave the city a wide berth, and found myself, and hopefully the rest of my team at the start of some sort of mountain trail. There were footprints indicating that someone's been here, recently, and there seemed to be three knocked-out dratini near a narrow ledge. I decided against getting too close to them, given what JUST happened, and looked back at my team, wondering if this was the same. I then heard one of them groan, and jumped back before it got up, and just slithered away... the other two did the same, apparently not wanting to fight. ""Whew... that was a close one, huh?"" I asked my team, wondering if they thought I was just being paranoid about fainted pokemon.</div>"

That didn't seem like a good idea, though, mostly due to the growling sound that came from the ceiling when Anthony got too close. The Pokemon up there would probably notice if one of the boxes was dragged across the floor.<br/><br/>   ""I know you're all hungry, but we have no idea how many of them were up there."" Josh said. ""This could jeopardize the entire mission. It's best to play it safe for now.""<br/>Josh hoped everyone else would agree with him. If just one of them decided to go in, they could potentially have a massive horde of Pokemon to deal with.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   Rebecca and Nina seemed to have gathered plenty of information on whatever the hell this thing was. Apparently they ran into it yesterday while they were investigating the cause of the mystery dungeons.<br/>""So, this is the thing that you had to teleport from?"" Dexter asked, looking closely at Rebecca's sketch. It kind of looked like the stuff that was leaking out of that Buneary back there.<br/><br/>   They eventually made it to Mt. Dragoncoil, and began their search for the lost Abra. They almost immediately ran into a few knocked out Dratini, who Nina seemed reluctant to approach, probably because of the Buneary. All three of them were clearly still alive, since they got up and slithered away.<br/>""You're not gonna freeze up like that every time we see a knocked out Pokemon, are you?"" Dexter said. ""That'll get annoying real fast.""</div>"

She understood what the group was saying, but with how everyone was hungry... it was either a group of pokemon... of fight off starvation. She looked at the group a bit.<br/>""I think we might need to try to lift the box... or at least grab part of the content inside to have it do less sound.... I.... might be able to help a bit if I am careful."" she then says, before creating a bit of her chains of light, ready to use them for this. She could have been trying to use her ribbons, but she probably didn't reach with that. She hoped the others would understand. It was best to try to get food as quietly as possible, and strike down any pokemons that would try to stop them... but she really hoped it was not a trap. She though a bit more.<br/>""Or we could try to ambush those that might be trying to ambush us... move to each side and attack anything that was hiding if we are really quiet."" she says to the group in a low voice.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion felt better after the druddigon was down, feeling like it was best that the group keep on moving afterwards. Tini did kinda scare him back there... but it was Tini. He was hard to even read. He felt something inside of him at this moment... something that felt really strange. An energy. He moved with the group, unsure what that energy was. Just then, a dragonite roared at them, asking where her children's were... which would probably be the dratini's from before. Now he felt bad, but they didn't have any choice here. Suddenly, the dragonite attacked the group, using dragon rush towards the client, and Bonnie jumped away. Eralion knew he had to act. Suddenly, the energy he felt bursted as he moved quickly in front of the attack..... while evolving! As the attack connected onto his new form of a pangaro, he smiled a bit. He had some silverish coloring for his white parts and a slight shine on his dark fur. He looked at the dragonite as he had... used counter. He grabbed onto the dragonite's arm and then threw it onto the ground as hard as he can using the damage he received from the angry dragon. He stood there as a well in front of the client, cracking his knuckles a bit as he looks at the dragonite.<br/>""Want to attack us when we are only trying to defend ourselves eh..."" he says, cracking his neck. He felt... good here. Stronger then before. He felt a bit like he could take on the world now.</div>"

Cooked or raw, it doesn't matter; I'm just happy to be eating something."" Due to Kamina's life in the ocean, he wasn't very picky about food, since he didn't always get to eat everyday. Hell, he'd eat anything edible and like it. Speaking of food, it looked like they were going to be taking a break here to eat, since they had found a room with food. Although everyone was debating whether or not to get it, since it could be a trap. Coiling up to take a quick rest, Kamina told the others ""let me know when we've decided what we're going to do next, okay.""

""Well it's a good thing we found you, because you and I have a lot to talk about ma'am; those children of yours are so unruly, randomly attacking strangers who were just passing by. I gave them a stern talking too, but I don't think it took. In fact, I'm pretty sure that one of them wasn't even paying attention. Now listen, I can tell that you're a loving mother; why else would you flip out like this over your children, but you need to discipline them more. You can't let yourself be afraid of hurting them, or pushing them away. If they don't learn how to properly behave in society, then they're only going to suffer more later in life.""

We would've left had most of us ate earlier, but a lack of food ensured a bit of misery. A trap was inevitable and I thought it best to just continue on, preferring to brush by the growls of the ceiling rather than confront them. Besides, Josh reminded me of the last fire Pokemon I met. One attack was so brutish (and was probably a critical) that it sent me on a health spiral for most of the trip, and I only just recovered from that. Not a good avenue for me to go down again, with a sharp warmth I can still remember on my eye. That, and the purple scar on my face started to itch from the heat. ""We need more food guys, but I don't really like the idea of being a flammable punching bag again."" I spoke out against the dangers of walking-into-traps-no-matter-how-prepared-you-were, swinging around in the air to watch our backsides. I'd assume the Pokemon here would've been more fisticuffs than devious, though it seemed that was an incorrect stereotype.

Mostly because it involved walking up steep inclines. She didn’t really know how or why anyone would live up on one, with all of these ledges and incredible heights. Even if they could fly, how could they raise their young? Little Timmy Dratini plays too close to the edge, well… That’s the last anyone will hear of Timmy Dratini. She supposed this was probably where the “hoarding, protective dragon” stereotype came from, but she then wondered how strange this observation was when Team Crescendo came across a group of badly hurt Dratini.<br/><br/>	“Well,” Rebecca said to Dexter with a hand on her hip, “It doesn’t hurt to be cautious, I guess, especially after we had to run away from that one fight. Even if they weren’t dead and turned into zombie creatures, something had to knock them out, right?” Plus, it gave her a chance to stop and rest for a bit, but she didn’t really feel like admitting that to the team at the moment. Maybe Pokemon lived on the mountain because they decided it would be too much trouble to be go back down again?</div>"

Celes was on my side, and Kamina was indifferent, however, Josh and Miles were opposed to the idea of trying to steal something from an obvious trap. They also brought up good points, so I couldn't really argue with them. ""Alright, fair enough, let's see if we can just go around this room, then,"" I then had a horrible thought <span class=""bb-i"">What if the stairs to the next floor are in that room? We'd have to fight them to continue on at that point... but... I'm not sure we'd be able to pull that off.</span> I dismissed it as I tried to wake up Kamina with ""Kamina, we're avoiding that room, let's go,"" I didn't want to step on what felt like fire on my feet, so I kinda had to make sure that he was awake so I could continue moving. While I waited, I looked at that room's ceiling, and waited for the perfect time to steal two apples from a vase in that room. It didn't take too long for the growlithe to ignore me, and didn't take too long for me to take the apples with a couple vine whips. I put them in my bag, and decided to wait until we were a few rooms away to start giving them out. Basically, I'd give them to whoever was the hungriest at the time, which means that neither Daniel or Anthony, given that they both just ate would get them. I then had a weird thought involving gladiatorial combat... but I passed that off as the heat finally getting to my head. ""Kamina... sooner rather than later, please... I think the heat's getting to my head, or something,"" I announce to Kamina in a somewhat tired voice... why did I sound tired? I took a long enough rest from walking, and I really didn't take that much damage, today... weird.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	While the heat never really got to me, at least, it didn't hurt me as much as most, it did still have a tendency to dry me out... such was the case in this bronze and steel tower. Heck, I'd be surprised if there was any slime at all on the floor due to how hot the place was. Spruce decided against taking the crate, and tried to wake up Kamina... but then he did something stupid. He used his vine whips to take a couple apples from their trap/storage room. His lack of patience shined through, again as he ordered Kamina to wake up and get moving 'sooner rather than later'. I would have said something... but the way he said it made me think that it was more the heat than him, at this point. ""Josh... I'm a little worried for Spruce... I've heard that this kind of heat can be dangerous to the minds of some pokemon... he might be crazy by the end of this,"" he sounded tired, but thanks to Kamina he didn't walk too much, and on top of that, hasn't taken a single attack from anything in this place... again, must have been the heat... but can it really have this sort of effect? I started heading away from the trap room, hoping that they didn't just make the way upwards into a trap as I did so. <span class=""bb-i"">To be honest, that would be clever of them... trapping our only way forwards... I just hope they didn't think of that.</span> I thought as I passed by a part of the wall that seemed to be made of some strange device with two wheels. Obviously, the tires that would go on the wheels weren't a part of it, nor was anything that wasn't metal... but it looked like a device that a moderately sized, bipedal pokemon could use to get around somewhat quicker, that is, if it wasn't melted, and made into a part of a wall of junk.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	It seems as though Eralion heard my call, and protected the client, while somehow evolving in the process. He threw the dragonite onto the ground with his counter move, as well as his newfound strength. He wasn't showing it, but I could tell that the attack still hurt him quite a bit. ""Here, catch!"" I shouted at Eralion as I tossed an oran berry in his direction. I then thought for a moment that the dragonite was done for, that she wouldn't get up from that... unfortunately, I was wrong. Our client backed up as the dragonite got up from that, roared, and looked over towards me, the only one who doesn't have a decent way of countering her attacks... she then smirked as she used thunder wave on me, paralyzing me, and making it so I couldn't move, much less attack. She then turned her attention towards Tini, and, probably assuming he was like all the others of his species, she used dragon rush on him, making sure to avoid Eralion in the process. <span class=""bb-i"">Thank goodness Tini's immune... else we'd have a serious problem trying to beat this dragonite...</span> I thought as I tried to move, and... failed, unfortunately. <span class=""bb-i"">Ugh... paralysis is the WORST...</span> I continued on in my head. I then tried to even speak, but couldn't do so due to paralysis. Thankfully, our client was smart enough to stay away from the angry dragon and let the explorers handle this... even if one of them wasn't in the best condition at the moment.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Before the last one could escape, I shouted ""Hey! Wait!"" the last dratini then turned around and looked at me, asking ""Yeah? Whaddaya want?"" I then responded with ""I just want to ask a few questions... are you okay with that?"" the dratini looked at its siblings, and then back at me and said ""Yeah, sure... go ahead,"" I then finally asked a few questions ""So... who knocked you out?"" was the first question, with the dratini answering ""Some explorers or somethin'... they were tough, WAY too tough for us to handle..."" to which, I responded ""Interesting... why would you try to attack them if you knew you were going to lose, and easily, at that?"" the dratini shook his head, and answered the best he could ""Some... weird thing in my head made me do it... whatever it was, it made me try and fail to take down a group of explorers way beyond our level. I think they were even trying to talk to us... the bunny lady even hesitated for some reason, and that made me feel bad, but I had to do it,"" I would have asked him more questions, but I learned my lesson from last time, and just said ""That... might be helpful for what we're trying to figure out. Please, just go before that thing takes over again, alright?"" the dratini complied and slithered away from the area... somehow, I had a feeling that I'd meet him again, under more hostile terms. I then turned back towards Rebecca, and said ""So, it sounds like this... thing doesn't care how many of its own pokemon faint or even die in... whatever it's trying to accomplish... also, it seems like when a pokemon faints, this thing loses whatever hold it had on it... if only for a moment. We might not have gotten paid last time, but I still want to figure out all about these wild pokemon,"" after that little report, I looked up at the mountain we were supposed to climb... it almost intimidated me with its size, but I was determined to finish this mission, especially after having to deal with zombies just getting here... I headed up the pathway, leading the way forwards despite any other, more favorable matchups being in the party.</div>"

I wasn't hungry considering I had already eaten, but I know everyone else sure hasn't. Anyway, he chucked out a pair of vine whips from under his supposed leaf coat, and stealthy yanked a bunch of bruised apples right under the room's inhabitants, leaving a bunch of fruit by Spruce's feet. He certainly looked a bit off, wilting in fact. I could tell since I lived with a bunch of plant Pokemon for a while, and knew how a majority of them lived.<br/><br/>""Alright, you guys go eat them."" I said, brushing away metallic dust on my face. Seemed as if my purple scar was finally receding somewhat, no longer feeling any bumpy ridges on the corners of my magnets. I moved on ahead with Anthony to look around the place, taking care not to draw attention from any hidden Pokemon. I drifted around in the heat and air, noting the rows of useless air vents tacked onto walls. Everything seemed to clash together, from the anodised steel and chrome streaks being forced together and walls being made out of literal junk. A few computers from the old world, scraps of inventions that weren't supposed to be for Pokemon to use... there was a distinct copper taste in the air, and just looking at the rust belts and charred pieces of metal sticking out from walls didn't help. ""Anthony, you need anything?"" I asked, wanting to break the silence as I stopped moving around, remaining stationary in the air but shifting my eye around for anything suspicious.</div>"

Being both Fire and Water, Kamina had completely forgot that this temperature could be unpleasant to others, as it didn't even bother him in the slightest. ""Ah, I think I see what the problem is. Here, let me try and fix you up there."" Kamina's Water Gun was so pitiful that it wasn't even Water Gun, as it lacked the pressure to do any real damage. However that was just fine, since he just needed it to cool down Spruce.

To Tini, this made complete sense ""Fairy Wind!"" he cried out as a wave of minty freshness surged at the attacking Dragon Type ""the pain will help you learn! Fairy Wind!""

Having gotten into a cold area only to end up in such a warm area.... the body didn't have time to adapt. She breath deeply as she looks as Spruce had gotten at least some apples. Those would probably be useful for those that were the hungriest in the team. She then saw Kamina and him using a weak version of water gun on Spruce. Well... that would help a lot she guessed. She though a bit. <br/>""Kamina, if more of us are having trouble, throw some water in the air and make it fall all around us. A bit of a rain... that would actually help us I think"" she then says smiling at him.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion saw the dragonite going to attack Tini with a dragon rush attack, but he didn't react to this. He didn't react, cause he knew that would not do anything to him.

He then moved back, and was ready for the next attack that it would do.<br/>""Attacking us when we were attacked before. We are just defending ourselves here... I will not let you hurt anyone here!"" he then says, in battle position. He was hoping she would waste her attacks on the team and not on the client itself.</div>"

Nice work, Nina.” Rebecca rolled the information over in her head as she went along. If it didn’t really care about whether it won or lost, it probably had a lot of reserves, and she didn’t consider it to be too big of a stretch to say that it can influence just about any wild pokemon in any “mystery dungeon” and that it just might be what’s causing them to appear in the first place. She made sure to write that down, just about finishing her notes when Dexter asked for clarification on the issue of their pay.<br/><br/>	“Wait,” Rebecca said, stopping after she regained her composure, “Did you guys get an advance payment in your old team? Because Nina took that job for us, and it was super nebulous and dangerous, and we almost died, and we did not see any money before we started.

Before Kamina used water gun on me, I actually started to hallucinate, seeing this as that, and seeing Kamina as some giant yellow bird... heck, Celes looked like one of those 'human' things you'd occasionally see on the walls of ancient pokemon temples, and in photographs older than time, itself. Kamina's water gun did the trick, and everything looked normal again, and I seemed much better overall. ""Thanks again, Kamina, you're a real lifesaver, you know that?"" my speech even sounded normal at that point. I then remembered something about apples, and checked my bag. ""Hey, who wants apples? I got some, and I figured we're all pretty hungry, so... anyone who wants one, just talk to the snake riding the eel,"" I then held out four of them using two vine whips, and my leafy hands. It seemed like we had some time before the next fight with some random fire type that Miles won't want to be within twenty feet of, so it seemed like the perfect time to eat, and rest... however much we CAN rest in a place like this. While I waited for teammates to line up, I decided to take a look at the outer wall... the windows were giant, and worse, it seemed like there wasn't even so much as a guard rail or even glass to keep someone in if they happen to go out that far. I had a feeling that a lot of ground-bound fire types fell to either their death or serious injury because of that detail. That might be something to talk to Reshiram about if he doesn't try to kill us about thirty seconds after seeing us, that is.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Thankfully, the water gun did the trick, and Spruce seemed much happier and healthier just from that. Josh probably still wanted to keep an eye on him, and from what I've seen before this, I couldn't blame him. ""I wonder if fire type attacks have the same effect on Spruce..."" I thought out loud before continuing on. I then realized that the rest of the party was still back behind me, apparently just about ready to eat up. I would have asked for an apple, but I decided against it just because I already had an apple. Daniel landed near me... for a brief moment before shouting and getting back in the air. ""ACK! Stupid floor. Anyways, Anthony, um... good luck trying to make friends with Spruce, and it's good to see that you're at least a little worried about him... means you'd rather have him around than do this on your own,"" Daniel tried his best to smile, and I could tell he was trying, just as I could tell that it was very difficult for a bird to smile. He then looked somewhat tired, and just as well, he hasn't had a place to rest his wings during this dungeon. ""Hey, Daniel, maybe you could rest on my 'shell'. I'm sure that it's at least better than trying to rest on the metal floor,"" He then nodded, and did just that. <span class=""bb-i"">Huh, now we have two pokemon acting as safe zones for teammates... first Kamina, and now me.</span> I thought as I headed back to where Spruce was handing out apples just to make sure we don't starve on our way to Reshiram.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini's relentless assault of fairy wind, and shouting his moves was enough to make the dragonite try to go for me, again. She glared at me, and used dragon rush on me, completely ignoring Tini's words. I was paralyzed, and I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything, let alone attack, however... somehow, just before she could get to me with her move, I managed to hit her, and knock her back with my frustration move. I would have tried to walk, or even jump away from her, but my paralysis started acting up, forcing me to stay still. ""Eralion... someone... finish her off... please..."" I managed to say, though, my sentence was broken up by more bouts of paralysis. The dragonite, ignoring me again, flew over to Eralion, and tried to use fire punch on him, apparently figuring out that he was a steel type... or maybe it was just a lucky guess. Either way, if he got hit, it would probably hurt, and she'd know to use that move against him, rather than dragon rush. <span class=""bb-i"">This is bad... why can't we just finish her off? It seems like every time she should have fainted, she just continues on... no, there's got to be a way to end this.</span> I think as I see a group of dratini slither past Tini. They looked oddly familiar, as in, they looked like the ones we knocked out earlier, however... they didn't attack us for some reason. Maybe they just knew we'd knock them out in one attack again. They seemed to be trying to say something to their mother, but due to the general noise of the fight, nobody could hear them, not even me.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	While it seemed like Rebecca was answering it, I ended up kind of trying to answer as well. ""You see, it's kind of a weird... underground group of pokemon who have been... erm, trying to figure out what makes mystery dungeons tick, and... well, for some reason, they picked us... maybe the guy who picked our group wasn't very experienced with this type of work, 'cause he flaked on our payment for any notes that might help with... um... them figuring out how mystery dungeons worked?"" I wasn't actually sure about this whole thing, or even if I could trust that company, whoever they were. Heck, if we didn't get paid when we got back to Allure, this time, then I'd just give the information to the nearest guildmaster... or even just do this for free, without any ties to some underground group. I then continued onward, wondering if we'd fight any pokemon this time... nah, of course we will. My thoughts were interrupted by a gible, and a swablu who both looked a little mad at the world. I attacked the swablu with a poison sting, just to try to poison the thing, and I looked back to see that Rebecca wasn't really enjoying going up this mountain... in fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that she and Dexter decided to wait... whoops. Luckily, I wasn't too far ahead of them, but I did take a sand tomb while I was looking back at them, the move was thankfully weak, but it still hurt me thanks to my bad typing against the move. The swablu then used fury attack against me, and while it hit me a few times, and did some damage... the thing also accidentally hit one of my poisonous spikes, and it ended up poisoned as a result.</div>"

Well... at least the group could take a moment to rest, but the heat did get to her a bit. No matter. She was actually used to it by now. She preferred the warmth then the cold, probably also cause she was used to her flareon brother and his dang pranks... She was used to heat cause of him and his dang house fires he kept doing.... no matter, she kept on moving and stayed near the group.<br/>""I am ok. I guess I am just used to not eat too much."" she then says softly to the group after Spruce asked if anyone was hungry. She just stayed near, looking at the window. No protection or anything. One accident and oups.... a flattened pokemon.... She gulp a bit. Better be careful here.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Deravan saw the fire punch coming.... but just grin a bit as he took the attack right on the chest.... not before having used counter right before.<br/>""Bad choice...."" he says to the dragonite before then letting a full force counter attack back at her, only to feel the fire effect from the punch. He groan a bit at this. Well, it did hurt, but he was still holding on right now. He looked at the dragonite, and then stick his tongue out a bit.<br/>""That all you can do? I fought magikarps that were tougher then you!"" he then says to the dragonite. Well... poor magikarps there. He was not saying all of them were weak. Just that lot of them needed to evolve to actually be able to do much. He then saw the dratinis... and how they were trying to talk to the dragonite. Eralion simply used counter again in case.</div>"

Dexter, on the other hand, could clearly see what was really happening. ""You probably don't realize this, but you're getting ripped off."" He said. ""I'm 90% sure they didn't just forget to pay you. These shady underground groups pull this kind of shit all the time.""<br/><br/>   Just as Dexter finished talking, a Gible and a Swablu appeared and attacked Nina. ""Alright, we'll deal with this once we get back."" He said. Since the Gible posed more of a threat to him, he decided to go for it first.

Had he been the philosophical type, he might have spent a few hours analyzing his past to determine just why that was, and what it said about him as a person. However, he wasn't the philosophical type, so he just settled for taking note how odd it was, and then quickly dismissing it from his mind. ""No problem Spruce. Although you really should have came to me sooner, before it got that bad. There's no point in suffering like that when you have someone who can fix it with little effort. Just try to remember that in the future."" Once Spruce started handing out apples, Kamina decided he should wait ""let me know when everyone's had their fill, and I'll have whatever's left"" Kamina had enough fuel in his tank to function until the end of this adventure (or so he estimated), so he wasn't too worried about getting a bite to eat. He was so used to hunger, that it had become more of a minor annoyance then any sort of torment. Grated, he was more used to having a Magikarp metabolism.<br/><br/>---<br/><span class=""bb-b"">Tini</span><br/><br/>To Tini's surprise, the three trouble makers from before had shown up. As they made their way up to the older Dragon Type, Tini realized that he was indeed right about them being her missing children. '<span class=""bb-i"">Well, that takes care of that problem</span>' Tini thought to himself, as he eased himself out of combat mode...except it wasn't. The fighting was still going on, and it seemed too loud to hear the young Dratini kid '<span class=""bb-i"">clearly, this requires my own special brand of problem solvingness. Wait...is problemsolvingness even a word? Or, maybe it's two words? Huh...this requires further thought. Gah! It's no use, it's too loud in here for me to think! What's causing all of this noise anyway? Oh...right!</span>' Having managed to navigate the labyrinth that was his own mind, Tini was now ready for his next move; first taking a deep breath, Tini then cried out ""<span class=""bb-b"">EVERYONE, BE QUIET!!!!1!!!</span>"" Once he had silenced the entire room (and replenished his air supply) he started talking again ""that's better. Now ma'am, I believe that those three are your missing children"" he pointed at the three Dratini ""as you can see, their all safe and sound. Hopefuly, this will teach you all a valuable lesson about not attacking random strangers.""</div>"

Now, I love the magic of friendship as much as the next adventurer, but if you ask me, we’d be much better off going into a fight with money. Money spent on TMs and fancy consumable items to use right when it starts to look like we’re really in a bind. So whether or not these pokemon are conning us, they had to have some sort of reason for sending us into that death trap, and if it wasn’t an assassination plan, then we can easily strongarm them into giving us whatever we need. We are the ones with the information, after all.” Though the Ralts lagged behind Nina a bit, she was thankfully close enough to aid her friend against the next wave of enemies.<br/><br/> <font color=""#f49ac2"">“And while we’re talking about strategy,”</font> Rebecca said, managing to use Disarming Voice on the Swablu and Gible despite the fact that she was starting to feel short of breath, <font color=""#f49ac2"">“Can we not rush ahead alone like this so much?

You know...?</font>” She stopped to take a few more breaths, starting to feel lightheaded. She was starting to feel like she maybe should have invested in an air tank of some kind.

I turned around to see Spruce, who certainly looked dizzy and his skin seemed to wilt somewhat. I jumped in the air when he got smacked by a stream of water, noticing Kamina managing to do that despite his... you know what, a lot of things shouldn't exist. Let's not question that. Besides, Spruce thanked the Gyrados and the pair exchanged words. Celes seemed oddly comfortable in the heat, while I felt parched right after eating that cooked berry. I probably wouldn't eat another one of those, honestly.<br/><br/>Before I could ask whether we could move on or not, Spruce dropped the fact there were large gaps in the walls. The whole place looked more like someone blasted sections of the wall rather than an outdoor area of the building. Looked like there was a scuffle; but if there was a scuffle, the edges of the gaps would be straighter and less cleanly cut. Architectural designs like this were also dangerous for this large building, made literally out of welded junk and inhabited by questionably hot Pokemon. Everyone seemed worried and they were completely right in that regard - they weren't the ones floating. I just glanced at it and thought it was dangerous for the building itself, really.</div>"

It didn't take too long, however, before we encountered a charizard, and a salamence... two large, intimidating dragons, and both of them looked like they wanted us out of this place, one way or another. I tried to think of any way for me to be even remotely useful in this fight, however... I couldn't come up with any ideas. Miles had his electricity, Celes was a fairy type, Anthony was somehow not weak to dragon type moves, and could use counter, Josh had his water, even if it was weakened in the heat of this place, even Daniel had his job as a user of shadow moves... I, however... had nothing I could really do, except... perhaps... I waited for the charizard to get close enough to Kamina, and once he did, as a part of a flare blitz move, I flung a group leech seeds on the charizard's face. Sure, he didn't notice it yet, but he will, soon enough. I also ducked just to make sure that he couldn't really aim for me with his fire-type moves, and I ended up thinking out loud... ""If only Kamina could make it rain in here with his water... that would really help out,"" at this point, my attention turned towards Anthony, who somehow survived a dragon claw from the salamence, and, better yet, countered the move, punching the salamence in the face with twice the force of the attack that hit Anthony. <span class=""bb-i"">Ugh... I feel so useless... the only move I have that can really be used here is leech seed, and that's basically nothing compared to Anthony's countering abilities.</span> I thought as the battle raged on.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	After a quick meal, everyone finally started to move again, and, as we already decided, we were moving away from the food storage area/trap. It didn't take too long before we bumped into a couple more pokemon in this area, this time, they were a charizard and a salamence, meaning that, as usual, Spruce was going to have some serious trouble. Just as well, he wasn't attacking either of the enemies, that is, until he saw it fit to throw a bunch of weird seeds at the charizard, who didn't even so much as flinch at the things. I was looking at him for too long, and took a dragon claw to my 'shell', which hurt, but not nearly as much as I felt it should have. I then used counter to, well, counter the attack that was thrown at me, doubling the power in the process. Spruce, obviously distressed, then murmured something to Kamina, or, to himself, it was hard to tell. I then used dragon breath on the salamence, hoping to paralyze it, however, that didn't work, and the salamence flew up into the air, or, rather, flew about forty feet up into the air, for some odd reason. It's not like the thing can really fly too high in a tower. The charizard tried to use flare blitz, aiming for Spruce, however, since Spruce was on Kamina's head, the move would probably hit Kamina, instead. After that, Daniel flew off of my 'shell', and up to where the salamence was, using shadow rush on the thing, and knocking it back a few feet. It growled, but Daniel just laughed, as if he knew that he could take the thing on... somehow.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	""Right... there's always that possibility,"" I answered, somewhat glumly, to Dexter. While I wanted to believe these pokemon were on the up-and-up, the proof just kept piling up that they... well, weren't. Dexter bit the gible after his speech, and Rebecca rejoined us and told me about how I shouldn't just rush off into danger head-first like I have been. She did that while using disarming voice on the enemies, leaving the gible just barely conscious. ""Y...yeah... that was pretty dumb of me... sorry, Rebecca,"" I said before using double kick on the gible, finishing it off before it could really do anything. The swablu then surprised me, at least, by using dragon rush on me, apparently angered by its poison. ""H...how did...!?"" I manage to ask in stunned confusion as the bird looked at me with what I could only assume was a smug smile from its feat. ""Dr...dragon... rush!? HOW!?"" I ended up saying, still wondering how it knew that move, let alone used it. My mind was reeling from the power of the attack, as well as the fact that I didn't think it could learn that move. The thing coughed, a bit from the poison, and then used roost to heal itself back up to peak condition... this was going to be one of THOSE battles, now, wasn't it? If I wasn't so busy wondering how that swablu used that move, then I probably would have taken advantage of its use of roost, and used double kick, however, I think I might have actually flinched, unfortunately.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	It seemed like Eralion's counter finally did the trick, and knocked out the mother dragonite. Her children seemed upset until she woke back up, confused and dazed. ""Where... am I?"" she asked the group. ""You're on Mt. Dragoncoil... y...you were attacking us, a few moments ago,"" I answered, confused at her asking questions rather than attacking. ""Me? Attack someone? Never,"" I then tried to explain with ""Yeah, you were. You even paralyzed me, and, I'm sure if Eralion didn't stop you, you would have attacked your own kids,"" she gasped at that, and then noticed her children among the group. She flew over to them and one of them said something... weird... ""We can go now, Mom... that thing... it's not controlling us. We have to be quick, though,"" I... had no idea what any of that meant, but I was more than happy to see the family fly towards Scale City, and away from us. <span class=""bb-i"">Why couldn't my family have been like that?</span> I thought as I saw them leave, unfortunately, that thought also reminded me of my father, and I tried to make myself forget about that by simply moving upwards and forwards. ""Let's get this mission done quick, alright? I'm starting to have... um... flashbacks,"" I said to the group as I tried to move through the paralysis. Of course, that didn't work until it finally wore off, and THEN I finally started moving towards our other client again. I could hear some sounds from lower on the mountain, for some odd reason, as I walked... it almost sounded like there was some sort of fight down there. Strange.</div>"

We passed by peculiar engravings into the mass-welded walls, mostly incomprehensible ramblings or signs stamped together. One object in particular stood out, being a cassette player smashed into two and stuck on opposite ends. That thing was even older than the last generation of humans. I carried on moving with the others and visually inspecting every corner, once I noticed I was being left behind.<br/><br/>Only about 10 seconds in, we were confronted a Charizard and Salamence pair. One of them I could probably toast, the other resist... other than that, they were pretty intimidating for our current line-up. ""Well, I should hang back for this."" I could tank the Salamence if he tried to use Dragon-type actions, but that Charizard could easily fry and melt me within seconds (and I didn't want to be a dead weight again). Of course, as long as I didn't get in the way of things, I could try to electrocute the Charizard.<br/><br/>...I spent too long thinking about the best possible strategy, witnessing Anthony sucker the living daylights of the Salamence.

You're not really tiny anymore! But you're still <span class=""bb-i"">really</span> fuzzy, so double yay!"" For Tini, all was right with the world. Granted, he didn't really have high standers or anything, but it was still worth noting ""Bonnie, Bonnie get over here! How can we have celebration hugs if you're not doing it too?"" Bonnie's absence from the group hug was a serious problem that needed to be rectified as soon as possible.</div>"

Or did it just get a kick out of the trouble it was causing?

With nothing better to do, I decided to use coil, as he did that, and again as Miles, and Josh shocked the thing, causing him to stumble backwards. The charizard then grumbled, and swapped places with the salamence, apparently having had enough of this. The charizard then ran up to Celes, apparently mad, and used flare blitz, probably as revenge for what she did to his friend. The salamence then charged at Kamina with a dragon rush, but, as it did so, I used leech seed on him, as well. I then used coil again just as a way of waiting for something to do... though, the move did seem to increase a few key stats... <span class=""bb-i"">I wonder if I could use this one, maybe two more times... and then Kamina could use water gun on the ground so I'd have a safe place to stand... but, if that all works... then I could actually start attacking these things.</span> I thought as the battle raged on. I then ended up saying ""Kamina, the next chance you get, you should use water gun on the ground, I've got a stupid idea!"" that seemed to distract Anthony, who missed a chance to use counter because of that. Immediately after Anthony shouted ""What!?"", the salamence tried to use ice fang on Kamina, probably aware of the fact that he wasn't a normal gyrados, and probably wondering if he was a dragon type, or something else that was weak to ice. I already knew it wasn't going to work very well, and decided to pass the time with another coil.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	After my counter, Celes' moonblast, and Daniel's shadow rush, the salamence seemed somewhat annoyed, and decided to switch places with their charizard friend, and the charizard greeted us with a 'friendly' flare blitz, aiming right for Celes. I tried to get in the way, but I wasn't exactly fast enough for that, and she probably took some serious damage. Daniel then decided to use shadow rush on the charizard, not really caring who his current target was. The charizard almost bit Daniel, as if he was attempting to eat the bird, but Daniel moved out of the way. The charizard then tried to attack Celes again, this time with fire fang, and I seemed ready, I was already in front of her to take the attack, and, I did, however, Spruce made me miss an opportunity to use counter when he randomly shouted ""Kamina, the next chance you get, you should use water gun on the ground, I've got a stupid idea!""... I couldn't respond to that any other way but by shouting ""What!?"" I was just confused at the whole idea of him wasting a turn that could easily be used to attack the charizard or salamence with attacking the ground, of all things... <span class=""bb-i"">Why the heck would anyone do that!? What in the world is Spruce's plan that would need Kamina to attack the ground?</span> I thought as I simply stood there, in between Celes and the charizard, ready for the charizard's next attack, and hoping that I can actually counter it. Unfortunately, at least for me, the next attack was a flamethrower, which, while I could take it, even in the sun, I couldn't counter that to save my life, as it wasn't a physical attack.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Eralion, now evolved, was feeling much happier, and Tini seemed twice as happy as Eralion was about his evolution... Tini then decided to hug him, and asked if I could join as the Dragonite and her kids flew away. I hesitated for a moment before finally letting him hug me for a while. ""Well, normally I'd ask you to hurry up, but I could use a short break... besides, you all seem to be having a moment. I don't want to break that up,"" our client randomly said to us as she took a seat on a nearby rock, and waited for all of this to end. ""Don't worry, I won't let it last too long... besides, Tini's got to remember he's on a mission at some point, right?"" I responded, all the while trying to give Tini subtle hints that we really should get going again if we're ever going to finish the mission... however, I already knew these hints would be lost on him. Anything that isn't blatantly obvious is pretty much always lost on Tini... but, he always seems to do the right thing anyways... after all, he let me stay on the team, even after I used one of those 'forbidden' moves, and even though I plan on using it whenever it might help our team. <span class=""bb-i"">I hope his patience doesn't wear thin... I'm not sure if I could even find another team if he kicks me out... then again, I'm probably the leader, now... and I know Eralion won't let him do that... but, I also hope he doesn't leave the team.

Before it could get airborne, again, I ran at it, and used double kick, seriously damaging the thing. Of course, once it got airborne again, the poison took effect, and it was in serious danger. It seemed to be worried... I had to wonder if that was the actual swablu, or the thing controlling it... then again, the thing controlling it probably didn't care for its life, so, somehow, the swablu was aware of the damage it was taking, and of the poison that it kind of brought upon itself by attacking someone who's covered in poisonous spikes. Either way, it was already almost fainted, and another couple of attacks from my allies would probably be enough to finish the thing off. Thankfully, it didn't really have the chance to use roost until after they all got their turn to attack. The battle was already almost won thanks to that. ""Stonewall? Meh, this is more like a wall of leaves. This thing's already almost done for,"" I commented on Rebecca's comment. Dexter seemed annoyed as well, and he had every right to be, considering what that thing was trying to do before I got to it with a double kick attack.</div>"

Sure he tended to act way before he thought, but that was more because of personal preference then any lack of cognitive ability. So when Spruce told him to douse the ground in water, it didn't take long for him to figure out why '<span class=""bb-i"">oh right; the ground is probably too hot for a Grass Type like Spruce</span>' It was very easy for him to forget about how much heat could bother others, due to his double resistance to Fire. He had only known the cold of the ocean before becoming a Fire Type, so his heat tolerance was the norm to him. ""Got it!"" Kamina quickly got to work spraying the ground with water, making sure that he focused on the ground between them and the hostile locals. '<span class=""bb-i"">Eh, I don't think I should play this as aggressively as I normally like to.

Oh no, they shall return, and far more powerful then ever before.</span>' With the hug over, and Tini back on the ground, he quieted up as he waited for someone to start walking somewhere, as he had no idea where they were going. In fact, he was starting to get a little fuzzy on the details of the mission, which in his mind were now just 'reunite lovers.' Although to be fair, that was the biggest detail. So it was more likely that his mind had merely simplified it to save thinking space...or not. Honestly, it's hard to tell with this guy sometimes.

Seems as if a lack of blood is starting to get to me. Strange how I have blood as some... whatever I am, not really a Magnemite as much as I was in the past.<br/><br/>Anyway, more moves later, I was tempted to start tanking a few hits. However we still had a Charizard on the field, and I was pretty certain that the Salamence knew more than just Dragon-type moves.

She quickly moved and used her light chain, and then grabbed the wings of the dragon that wasen't a dragon... anyway.... she then threw him right onto the floor, full force, damaging him from that attack. She then turned and threw him backwards, a bit more away from the group. She was shaking right now.<br/>""I... I almost freaken died there!"" she said, shaking when she said that.

I waited for just a moment for the charizard to accidentally get close enough to Kamina and I, and once he did, I jumped off of Kamina's head, knocked the charizard out with a single void whip, and landed in the puddle of water that was quickly evaporating due to the heat in the area. The salamence, surprised, but still mad that his friend was just knocked out, used ice fang on me, and despite my typing, the move didn't actually do that much. ""Kamina, mind trying to pull that off again? The floor's drying off already,"" I asked to Kamina as the salamence took a few steps back, wondering how the heck I managed to survive its attack. Anthony seemed even more confused with what just happened, and all he could really manage to say was ""HOW DID THAT WORK!?"" as if he expected my plan to somehow fail. I looked over towards Celes just to make sure she was okay, and she seemed fine, if a little angry over nearly falling to her death. I would have ran towards her to try to comfort her, but... I only had a limited space I could move in... not to mention the fact that we were still in the middle of a battle. I would have attacked the salamence at this point, but I needed to make absolute sure that Kamina was going to replace the water on the floor before I tried anything like what I did earlier. Luckily, apparently seeing me as a lost cause, the salamence tried to use dragon claw on Kamina while I waited for one of two things... either Kamina to use water gun on the floor again, or for the salamence to get close enough for me to attack him.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Celes flew into some sort of rage after nearly falling to her doom, and without even using moves, she flung around the charizard... something I'm sure shouldn't be possible. The charizard probably felt the same way, as he took a few steps back, and towards Kamina and Spruce... where the next unlikely thing happened. Spruce's plan came into fruition as he jumped off of Kamina's head, and smashed the unsuspecting charizard in the back of the head with a void whip, which seemed to somehow be more than enough to actually knock the thing out. I just stood there, wide-eyed at this plan somehow working. It took me a while to say something, particularly, my mind almost seemed to wait until Spruce was finished with asking Kamina to do that again before it finally let me blurt out ""HOW DID THAT WORK!?"" that plan, by all accounts should have failed in some way or another... in fact, the bounce plan to get over the bridge probably shouldn't have worked either, and yet... somehow... it happened. <span class=""bb-i"">Who ARE these pokemon!? How do they actually get plans like these to work? Is that their only skill, making dumb plans and then succeeding just because they didn't know those plans could fail?</span> I thought as I unintentionally skipped a move, only noticing Spruce somehow tank an ice fang from the salamence. <span class=""bb-i"">Wait... that move should have torn him apart... why is he still standing? Wait... did he maybe... use some sort of stat-increasing move? Is there a move that increases both attack and defense that Spruce can actually learn?</span> I thought as I tried to put together what, exactly happened back there.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	After Dexter's ember, the swablu fainted, just as its teammate did, earlier. ""Not much of a stone wall if they crumbled after two turns, huh?"" I said as I continued on, though, I made sure that I wasn't too far ahead of my teammates, particularly, Rebecca, who seemed to be having a difficult time traversing the mountain. Eventually, we came across a familiar lopunny, and the rest of her group... save for the pangoro, who I can only assume evolved recently, and the nidorina, who looked at me and seemed confused about something. She almost asked a question, but the team started walking off again. ""Hey!"" I shouted to them, which only caused the lopunny to run away from us at full speed. ""Agh... well, I'm not going to chase after her, last thing I'd want to do is leave you two behind again,"" I said as I turned towards my team, the nidorina, who I guess was their client, looking back at me as she ran off with the other group. ""Maybe we should take a break, I know at least one of us is tired, already,"" I said to the group after that, though, what I didn't tell them was the fact that I was getting tired from all of this. I sat down on a nearby rock, and once I took out three apples from my bag, I heard some sort of rustling noise from the behind me. I looked behind me for a moment, but only saw some bushes, and, apparently, nothing in them. I heard some faint laughter behind me, but, again, I couldn't catch whoever, or whatever was making the noise. ""Does anyone else hear that? I think someone's following us..."" I pointed out as I continued my search for whoever's laughing at us.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Thankfully, Tini was quick to remember the mission on hand, and he freed us from his oppressive grip, but, as soon as he did, I heard another team approaching, and unfortunately, it was that same team from Sunswept Plains. The nidoran called out to us with ""Hey!"" but, not wanting to accidentally hurt the ralts with my presence alone, I darted off, and I assumed the rest of the team followed shortly after, well, at the very least, the client did, and once I had to catch my breath, she caught up to me and asked ""Say... do you know that nidoran?"" I shook my head, and she continued with ""Funniest thing... I can't take on this mountain, and that little girl seems to be doing that just fine... not only that, but it seems like she's trying to get to the top. Are explorers really that much stronger than the average pokemon?"" I didn't answer, as I was still catching my breath from that sprint that may or may not have separated me from the rest of my team. Once I did catch my breath, I unfortunately forgot the question, and just continued on, ignoring her, and making her a little bit annoyed with me. I then turned around, and even waited for any teammates that I accidentally left behind, just to make sure I wasn't going to continue on alone. ""Sorry Eralion... I didn't want to hurt that innocent ralts... I know you said it's probably just junk, and those psychic types back at the mission board were lying, but... what if they weren't?

I observed Spruce and hung back as I shook my magnet, surprised at Spruce's endurance as he hopped off Kamina and touched down onto the puddle, steam rising above the room and obscuring him somewhat. Regardless, he drew out one of his peculiar moves and just absolutely slapped the Charizard away. I swear to Arceus that Snivy did something gimmicky, because he also took a particularly damaging Ice Fang which left barely a scratch on his skin, which was just impossible.<br/><br/>My eye went twitchy before I fainted from the excitement. There was actually a blinding light, as if someone just pointed a flash-light right into my cornea. Because I lost all my vision and thought something was stuck in my eye, I ended up doing a back-flip mid-air and holding some ridiculous ball of light above myself, both magnets held up and drawing streams of light away from myself. ""Okay, okay. What in Arceus' domain-"" I shrieked as a vacuum developed above myself, a large ball of light arcing towards the Salamence like I just light-bulb artillery.

If that was the case, he should be able to hold his own for the rest of the fight, unless the Salamence managed to lucky.<br/><br/>   The Salamence posed much more of a threat to Josh than the Charizard did. Celes could block Dragon Claw without harming herself, but that wouldn't be the case with Ice Fang.

It was the same one they ran into earlier, and once again the Lopunny ran away. ""The fuck is her problem?"" Dexter asked. She obviously had some reason for avoiding them.<br/><br/>   Nina then suggested that they take a break, since one of them was starting to get tired. Dexter didn't really expect them to make it all the way to the top without a break. They probably weren't raised in the mountains like he was, and would tire out faster than he would. ""Alright, we'll take a break for a few minutes. I don't want either of to pass out from-""<br/>He cut his sentence short when he heard the sound of rustling behind them, which was followed by the sound of someone laughing. He began to slowly approach the source of the sound, ready to attack if something jumped out at him.</div>"

The rest of the party attacked the salamence with various moves of various types, and the thing ended up poisoned from Josh's attack, and hurt from Miles' attack as a result. I waited for Kamina to create more water, and as soon as he did, I smashed the salamence with another void whip, nearly knocking him out with that. ""He's almost down, just one more attack should do it,"" I said to my team as I jumped back onto Kamina's head. Anthony tried to finish the thing off, himself, even trying to use dragon breath on him, but, Daniel was quicker, and he ended up finishing the salamence off with a shadow rush. Anthony seemed disappointed that he couldn't land the finishing blow, but ended up saying ""Good job, Daniel,"" anyways. The heat was intense, again, even if I wasn't on the ground. ""We should probably get moving, again before I melt, huh?"" I said to the rest of the group, as the heat started effecting my mind, again. Thankfully, it didn't get to the point where I was hallucinating, but, my plans might start getting even dumber if I don't cool off, again. <span class=""bb-i"">I wonder if I'm the only one who's actually effected by this heat... I mean, I AM a grass type, so, fire usually does a good job of destroying me, maybe that's all... nobody else here is a grass type, and Miles, the only other guy who doesn't like fire, is also a robot... or something... I think...</span> I thought as I tried to keep a lookout for the stairs.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	I was almost too shocked to do anything as Spruce smashed the salamence, nearly knocking it out. His plan worked, somehow, and may have just turned the tide of the battle. Everyone else was contributing, with Celes getting in the way of an attack, Miles shocking the thing, and Josh poisoning him with sludge bomb. Somehow, the salamence even survived the poison damage, but, even I could tell that he was on his last legs. I snapped out of it, and tried to finish him off with dragon breath, however, Daniel was faster, and he defeated the thing with a shadow rush, and, while I wanted to do that, myself, I guess it didn't really matter who got the last attack, so, I simply ended up saying ""Good job, Daniel,"" as Spruce jumped back onto Kamina's head. He pointed out that we should get moving again, and even pointed out that the heat was already starting to get to him, again. I just nodded at that, as if he could see me, and headed to where I was almost certain the stairs were. Of course, it was just a guess at this point, given that we had no idea where the stairs actually were, yet. Daniel decided to land on my 'shell', again and he seemed to smile at me, at least, I assumed that he did, as it's impossible to tell due to the fact that he's a bird.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	I listened to what the others had to say, and, while I wanted to tell them that ralts was known for being overly sensitive to others' emotions, I decided, instead to simply state ""Yeah, I guess you're right. On the other hand, we can't just stay behind when we've got a mission to do, right?"" That, again was a subtle hint that we shouldn't linger here for too long, and should try to make our way up the mountain. <span class=""bb-i"">Maybe I should stick around if I see them again... maybe I'm actually wrong, and maybe those psychic types at the mission board were just jerks...</span> I thought as I continued up the mountain... strangely enough, as I did so, I heard a roar coming from the top of the place... one that didn't quite sound like any of the local dragons, either. ""Did... anyone else hear that?"" I asked my team, wondering if I was going crazy, or if it was just my giant ears that let me hear that. The client answered pretty quickly with ""Yes, and I hope whoever that was doesn't have my beloved!"" She then darted ahead of us, and I had to dart after her, just to make sure she didn't get hurt, injured, or worse just from leaving the group. It was fairly obvious that she couldn't handle what was normally up here, let alone another dragonite, or, say, the golurk we both ended up bumping into. It still seems weird that yes, we both bumped into a ghost type, but that's what happened. ""Quick, get behind me! That thing will mess you up if you don't!"" I shouted to the client, who still seemed stunned at the comparative height of the thing. Thankfully, she heard me, and I ended up taking a shadow punch... which actually hurt, even if it wasn't very effective, due to my, er, different typing. I then noticed a strange, shadowy aura around the golurk... though, I also made the assumption that said aura wouldn't have any effect in the fight.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Thankfully, Dexter confirmed that I wasn't the only one who heard that noise, and he inspected the bushes as well, however, whoever or whatever WAS there seemed to be long gone by the time we looked for them. ""Great... they're too fast for us to catch up to them. How are we going to fight them if we can't catch them?"" I said as I took my spot for our break. It didn't take too long for a loud, yet distant roar to be heard, and I nearly jumped from that. ""What the heck!? Oh, wait, dragons... ugh, why do dragons always have to roar like that, huh? Why can't they just talk, like every OTHER pokemon?"" I said that, but, somehow, I felt like that roar didn't belong to any dragon on this mountain, at least, not any dragon that's usually here. Obviously, I could be wrong, as I didn't know too much about dragon types, save for the fact that pink wasn't a normal color for them, and the fact that they didn't usually smell like mint. After resting up, a bit, I continued on, making sure that Dexter, and even Rebecca could follow me, and soon enough, I encountered a golett, certainly NOT a dragon, and most likely not the source of that weird roar. A ghost type... something I couldn't really hit with most of my moves... poison sting wouldn't do much, let alone scratch or double kick, but, thankfully, I still had access to at least one move that can damage a ghost type, flash tackle, and, even if I hesitated just a bit, that was still the first thing I did. My body was cloaked in a mysterious light as I rushed towards the ghostly golem, and, probably just due to the light of the move, I actually hit the thing with that, and had it stumble, a little bit.</div>"

I just hope we will find Reshiram real soon and be able to get out of this place, cause considering the party..."" she says looking at Miles then Spruce.<br/>""We will have more and more trouble the longer we stay here."" she ends up saying as she moved forwards. She breath in deeply and looked worried right now. Spruce did get hit a good amount of times here, but his plan actually worked for him to not get knocked out.<br/>""I just hope we don't end up fighting more charizards near windows, cause if I would have fell...."" she says shivering a bit.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion fallowed quickly Bonnie and the client as they started rushing forwards, going up the mountain.... only to end up with a golurk with a strange shadowy aura around him blocking the way. He frowned at this. Golurk were known to be able to punch quite hard, and considering he and Bonnie were dark types... Tini would not have any trouble with fighting type moves at least. He quickly moved forwards, before going to attack the Golurk, actually using Crunch on him to damage him a lot because of his typing. He couldn't use fighting types move here unfortunately for him, so he guessed his only dark type move would do the trick here.<br/>""Guard the client, Tini, I think you can take on any fighting type moves he may use, so get ready please!"" he then says to him</div>"

They would likely be fine, but moving quickly would definitely avoid the revenge afterwards. By the time the fight finished I felt somewhat tired and drowsy, if not a bit... thirsty? Well, that's how most people described it. I really did have a nagging feeling for water now, probably to do with the fact that I was becoming more... alive. Something like that anyway. It was probably something to do with evolving, which was strange because no one seemed to mention it; likely because I didn't even change forms. At least my black feathers and other weird avian features seemed to vanish, and I don't think anyone got hurt that badly from the fight. Heck, my body seemed more polished, free of any nicks or scratches. My scar? Just gone. Seemed like I was back at day one, where I was essentially born or something. I still miss Davis, more or less.<br/><br/>As I was still flipping magnets around and inspecting myself, Celes highlighted the reason why we were here, and it certainly wasn't to lope around and continue fighting. We had to get to Reshiram to unfreeze the accursed town, considering how the climate was off and the lukewarm temperatures couldn't free anyone. I did wonder why the town was frozen over by outside forces; maybe it wasn't malicious intent, considering very few legendaries would go and disrupt people's lives without enduring the wrath of Arceus. Perhaps there was a disease spreading around the town, and they had little choice but to contain everything.<br/><br/>Until we had further context, we had only one place to go. Upstairs, up the levels, and to beg for Reshiram's assistance. Funny how life seems to direct you around the place, only to have you slammed by the might of a deity. At least this place is warm, and the ground even seems to be heated for Arceus' benefit. Alas, that just reminds me of how sweltering the tower was, with thick heated air making breathing feel like eating fire.</div>"

They didn't make it far before their path was blocked by yet another wild Pokemon. This time, it was a Golett. Nina attacked first, by cloaking her body in some kind of light, then slamming into it. Dexter hadn't seen an attack like that before, but decided that it was best not to ask her about it in the middle of a fight. He got up close, and bit into the Golett's shoulder. Considering that it was made of stone, his teeth sunk in surprisingly easily. This may have been because of type advantages or something, but Dexter wasn't really an expert on this sort of thing.</div>"

""Hey! WAIT FOR US!"" I decided to turn around to try to see who it was, and the answer surprised me. It was the same charizard and salamence that we just got done beating up. [i]What in the heck? Why are they talking to us? Are they just going to try to trick us, and try to beat us up, again? Either way, they caught up with us, and the charizard continued talking with ""Th...thanks. I don't know what came over us, but we were sent to explore this place years ago... is ol' Wigglytuff still around?"" I answered with ""Er... I think he goes by 'Wally', now..."" the salamence then said ""Doesn't matter, the point is, we want to repay you for making us come to our senses... hm... you seem rather light... now, were you sent here to explore, and figure out all you can about this place, or were you just sent here to get to the top?"" I was amazed at this... were they really just offering to fly us to the top of this place? How would they carry Kamina, though? He weighed more than the rest of us combined. The salamence then asked ""Well? Which was it?"" and Anthony spoke up with ""We weren't really sent by a guildmaster, but our goal is, in fact, to get to the top of this place. We need to meet with Reshiram,"" the charizard then asked ""Well, would you like us to fly you there before we head back to our guild?

Spruce looked like he was wilting, or something... plant pokemon were always kind of weird, they don't like the hot, they don't like the cold... I mean, at least dragon types like one of those two things, right? We made it to the next set of stairs, and before we could continue on to the next floor, no doubt filled with challenges, and other wild pokemon, a familiar voice shouted at us ""Hey! WAIT FOR US!"" Spruce turned around, and apparently just let them approach us, despite the fact that I already knew it was the two pokemon we just knocked out. They started asking Spruce about where we need to go, and who sent us, and I had no idea why until they said something about 'Wigglytuff'... which reminded me about the rival guild... they were run by A wigglytuff, but he went by the name 'Wally', and Spruce decided to explain that to the duo, after which I finally explained to them, thinking that it won't do any harm ""We weren't really sent by a guildmaster, but our goal is, in fact, to get to the top of this place. We need to meet with Reshiram,"" the two smiled at that, as if it made their job that much easier, and they then asked if we wanted to be flown to the top of this place. Honestly, that would be a gift straight from Arceus at this point, but, the rest of my team, and Spruce's might not actually trust these two, after all, they DID just fight us, not too long ago. Spruce and I both turned to our teammates, as if expecting a response.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The golurk seemed to just barely hold on after those attacks, and, seemed to cloak its fist in that shadowy energy to punch Eralion, not fearing a counter-attack mainly due to the fact that it was a ghost type, and said counter-attack would just pass right through it. Eralion told Tini to guard the client, and after a salute that made me want to hug the giant snake pokemon, he did exactly that... all while trying and failing to look intimidating. Oh, if only our enemies knew... if only they knew exactly why an angry Tini SHOULD be intimidating... even if he still doesn't look it. I had some time to think, since the thing wasn't attacking me at the moment, and eventually figured out that the only move I have that can hit him is frustration, and even then, it's not typically supposed to. <span class=""bb-i"">I wonder if this will even surprise the thing... I mean, it IS a robot, and a wild pokemon, those things typically don't have emotions, right?</span> I thought as I decided to use frustration on the golurk, dealing enough damage to finally get it to faint... however, that doesn't mean that his attack that was aimed at Eralion didn't hit, it just meant that the golurk fainted afterwards. ""Whew... that was close. Onwards?"" the client said to us as soon as the giant clay and stone pokemon fell backwards from my attack.

I wasn't really in control of my own actions, but that's no excuse, right? I... I want to help, at least for a little bit. What are you three doing here, anyways?

""Oh... er..."" I tried to change the subject, eventually asking, almost out of the blue ""So, what's your name?"" this caused the swablu to look down, and away from us, and said ""I never had one... my momma never gave me a name after I hatched, and... I... I never gave myself one 'cause of that weird thing,"" I had an idea of what she meant by 'weird thing', and decided to try to change the subject, again with ""Thanks for helping us back there,"" she smiled, and asked ""Do you guys have any ideas for a name?"" why she changed the subject back to that, I had no idea, but I was never that great at coming up with names... heck, when I heard that this team already had a name, I was relieved since that meant I didn't have to come up with one, myself.</div>"

It was the Swablu from earlier. Dexter could see that it was flying right at him, so he got into a defensive stance and braced himself for the incoming attack. Apparently, though, the Swablu wasn't aiming for Dexter, and instead finished off the Golett lying beside him.<br/><br/>   The Swablu seemed like she was freed from that thing's influence, at least for now. Dexter was cautious, since they had no idea how long it would take for it to take over again. According to her, she had never been given a name or anything due to being controlled by it.<br/>Nina didn't seem to have any ideas, and Dexter didn't have any either, so he turned to Rebecca.

It was definitely surprising to see Pokemon be revived so quickly, and I assumed we just had more fighting on our hands against the Pokemon around here. Before I could even raise my magnets towards them, they were already crying out for us to wait, sailing in the air briefly before stomping against the floor. The force of their landing pushed me back as I felt twitching in my magnets, a nagging feeling of betrayal stuck at the back of my mind along with other memories.<br/><br/>I remained silent as they actually started thanking us for kicking their arses. They were speaking normally, were more composed and definitely seemed more upright than before. I laid rest to my fears once they started speaking about the Guild, seemingly confirming their alibis. Either they got defeated here or they just overheard some other adventurers talking about the guild, but it was enough to let me relax a bit. (They probably would've attacked us by now.) I half-heartedly expected Kamina to ask us to lighten up behind the stern expression in my eye/face, while the rest of the group seemed just was suspicious as letting these guys help us.<br/><br/>By that, I mean they wanted to fly us up the tower. Celes voiced her concerns to Spruce and expected him to do something, and Josh was quite amiable to the offer. I remained as still as a rock floating in mid-air, wind whistling through our discussions and rustling whatever was hanging off our bodies. Spruce and Anthony seemed to share the same opinion of letting us all talk it about, but I had a feeling that we'd come to a stalemate. Certainly, they still weren't attacking us... but if they did attack us later (and I wasn't ruling that out), then I'd be a gullible idiot. Even more so than a Bidoof who thought my former home was a tree, instead chipping his teeth on fake walls. (Let's just say the neighbours didn't like growing new homes for outsiders.)<br/><br/>Anyway, I only had the nerve to move my eye around the group. I listened to the chiming of voices as I expected someone to yell out 'can we go up the stairs yet?' Celes funnily suggested breaking the ceiling as opposed to having a pair of dragons lift the world's... er, ambiguously heaviest fish to the top floor. I ended up joining the laughter that ensured, a little chuckle if anything. Everything seemed pretty friendly for a dungeon, after all.<br/><br/>Ultimately, Kamina made the decision to just destroy the ceiling, a deep voice that actually intimidated the likes of me. I was supposed to say 'how's that gonna convince Reshiram to unfreeze the town?!'<br/><br/>Instead, I went with: ""Let's see you fly, big fish.""</div>"

It seemed like everyone other than her and I were quick to trust these guys, and Anthony seemed slightly hesitant, as well, for some reason, but, either way, I ended up saying ""Alright, sounds like a plan,"" to the duo, both of whom tried to pick up as many of us as possible, with the salamence picking up Celes, Matt, and I, and the charizard picking up Miles, Josh, and Anthony. Daniel simply flew with them, and Kamina... I can only assume was finding his OWN way to the top that involved bouncing, breaking things, and fire... I don't know where the fire fit in, but I'm sure he found out some way to include fire into the mix. The salamence decided to actually talk while he was flying me up, asking ""So, how long have you guys been in the guild, anyways?"" I tried to actually remember... it seemed like the days were stretched out for some reason, as if a few moments passed by in a week's time... was it an actual week? Were we only in the guild for a handful of days, and ALREADY we're a part of some huge quest, the success of which will determine the fate of this planet? Apparently, I spaced out for a while, as he ended up asking ""Er... little dude, are you okay? You see a little out of it,"" that, of course, snapped me back into reality, and I answered with ""Yeah, and... I think I might have been in the guild for a week, maybe?"" the salamence seemed confused about this and kept questioning me with ""How are you unsure if it's been a week, or not?"" I shrugged, not wanting to share the strange, almost existential crisis I just had over how long time seemed to stretch for no apparent reason.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Somehow, it seemed like the majority of our team wanted to take their help, and, even though I was a little hesitant about it, I tried my best to look enthusiastic... though, looking at Spruce, apparently even he can see right through my act. The two dragons, nonetheless, picked us up, with the charizard apparently picking myself, Miles, and Josh. It seemed to take a while, and the charizard was humming to himself, so, I decided to ask Miles ""Hey, Miles, why are you so... I dunno, down all the time? You're usually so pessimistic, but, why? What happened to you that made you that way?"" granted I had a few problems of my own, not the least of which was the fact that my mother probably depended on whatever money I could scrounge together from guild missions to live, but even I tried to see the best in any situation. I'm sure that whatever was bothering Miles that made him like this was worse than what I've been through, but, perhaps talking about it would actually prove to be helpful to him... maybe, someday, he'll see the best in pokemon, and the best in whatever situation he's thrown in next... or he could just naturally be this way, and not change due to me asking this question. I then remembered that Miles could float, and wondered why, exactly he didn't do that... of course, I only had to take a look at him, and how poorly he handled the heat, and how much effort it took for him to float over the bridge to figure out why this might be a better solution. Thankfully, since he somehow kept his magnemite form, he was actually pretty lightweight, so, the charizard had no problem holding him.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	It seemed like we were getting pretty high up the mountain, as the air was getting thin, and it was getting somewhat harder to breathe, as a result. I tried to keep going, and thankfully, I managed to do so, at least until we came across a ledge with a flimsy, rotten, moldy plank of wood serving as a makeshift bridge. ""Seems... like someone... was here... before..."" I pointed out, my words being broken up by it being difficult to breathe right now... I probably looked like a weakling to the rest of my team, right now, especially with the fact that the nidorina seemed just fine with this, heck, she almost seemed to be enjoying it, for some reason. ""Ah... so THIS is why teams like you explore places like this. I mean, I've heard of the term 'fresh mountain air', but I didn't know what it meant until now,"" that only served to hammer in my embarrassment even more. The CLIENT, of all pokemon, was doing better than I was in a wilderness setting... something that I'm PAID to go through on a daily basis. I'm sure if Samuel were still here, he'd just laugh at me, and use his ability to climb to cross the ledge on his own... or maybe he'd just set the entire place on fire, again. 'Hey! that was ONE TIME!' I could almost hear his voice, again... then again, this thin air was probably just getting to my brain, and I'm certain I didn't just say that he'd set the place on fire, so, why would he respond to a thought, right? ""Guys... that bridge... doesn't... look safe..."" I managed to say, as well, though, considering who my team consisted of, I might have been too late with that warning.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	It seemed like Dexter didn't have any ideas later, however, Rebecca, as usual, came up with something, in this case, she came up with the idea to name her 'Mariah', to which, the newly-named swablu almost chirped out ""Yay! I have a name now! Yes, that works Ms. Rebecca... it's... so nice to be around pokemon that I don't have the urge to attack... oh... sorry, I shouldn't have said that last part,"" that was weird, she didn't seem as young as she acted, but, either way, that prompted me to ask ""So... which city do you live in? I mean, before you got controlled,"" Mariah shook her head, and said, almost sadly ""I was actually hatched here... I never really had a home... and my parents are almost never around... the thing, the voice kept telling me to attack low-ranking city pokemon, while my parents were apparently told to attack high-level guild pokemon,"" that was... a bit more information than I asked for, to be honest. ""So whatever this thing is actually separates high-level and low-level pokemon? Why?"" I ended up saying, rather than thinking as I started heading up the mountain path. A golurk, apparently recently knocked out wakes up, and seems confused, as well. ""WHERE AM I?"" the giant ghost-type pokemon asked either us, or just anyone who was listening. ""Er... on Mt. Dragoncoil. A mountain-based mystery dungeon,"" that didn't seem to do anything other than confuse the thing before, and it continued with ""WHAT IS A MYSTERY DUNGEON... WHERE IS MT. DRAGONCOIL?"" how old WAS this thing if a MOUNTAIN is younger than it is!?</div>"

She just hoped she would not be falling to her death cause of those guys. It was already hard enough that she didn't trust those guys... Although there was one thing: If they did try to actually throw her, she would use her ribbons to hold onto him and throw him down towards the ground, and actually use the salamance to lessen the fall for her. It would probably damage him really a lot, that is for sure. She just stayed there, waiting to be brought to the top floor, worried.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/> <br/><br/>Eralion was moving forwards then, seeing the bridge. Considering his size... The bridge was probably not the safest for him. When he heard waht Bonnie said, he looked at her and then the bridge.<br/>""Either we go around it, or we take a risk and move one person at a time over the bridge and get to the other side."" he says before looking down, seeing that there was somewhat of a large hole.

""This is going to be so awesome!"" Coiling his body up, he mentally prepared for the jump '<span class=""bb-i"">now!</span>' Quick as a whip, he sprung upwards, rocketing towards the ceiling. However, instead of breaking through, he crashed, and fell back down. ""Gah!!! Well...that didn't go as planned. No...I'm not letting this get me down.

A nearby Fire Type cried out at the sight of Kamina emerging from what was now the floor. However, our intrepid explorer didn't have the time to respond to him. <br/><br/>""AHHH!!!

No, that would never work. We don't have the materials to make one sturdy enough. Not only that, but someone would need to operate it. I don't have hands, so it would either have to be Bonnie or Eralion, and I doubt either of them have enough experience with a catapult to fire it from the sling. If I had arms, I could do it. But alas, I am arm-less. Not only that, but catapult is a blanket term. There are a lot of different kind of siege engines that qualify as a catapult. Honestly, our best bet is a Trebuchet. A Ballista is basically a huge crossbow so none of us are the right shape, and we I don't even know where we'd get springs big enough to make Da Vinchi's design. If I could just evolve, then I'd have the hands needed to operate a Trebuchet from the sling. Yeah, it was a nice idea Eralion, but it's not feasible. Unless...can either of you fire a Trebuchet while sitting in the sling?""</div>"

Kamina somehow broke through a floor of poorly smelted metals and ceramic. Hell, I tried to stay as neutral as possible, but ultimately it probably counted as some 'yes' vote. I was lifted up onto the Charizard I knocked out earlier, leaving me somewhat uncomfortable since: a) I nearly killed him earlier. b) He was a fire type. Even if I did try to say no, I probably wouldn't risk the floors between here and the top.<br/><br/>Before I was nearly forced onto the Charizard, I heard a few words coming from Anthony. I turned around and just shrugged, telling him ""bad stuff happened.""<br/><br/>Anyway, I figured out Kamina actually did punch a hole in the tower once we were in the air, mainly because the tower seemed to shake and shrapnel flew out its openings.

""Well, looks like he's going insane from our corruption... ah, well, he's your problem, now!"" Desia said to us in an oddly happy tone of voice. ""Yeah... I dunno what he's gonna do next, so it's a good thing I'm not gonna be here when he does it,"" Quartzil added, though, he really just reiterated his boss' point. before I could say or do anything, the two opened up some sort of portal and jumped through it, leaving just us, as well as the charizard, salamence, and the other group... as well as Kamina when he gets here... and Reshiram, himself... actually, that was quite a lot of pokemon, maybe I shouldn't have said that they 'left us with just' some of us. Either way, Reshiram roared again, and shouted ""MORE INTRUDERS! HERE TO TRY TO CORRUPT ME FURTHER, NO DOUBT!"" I tried to say something, but before I could, he shouted again ""SILENCE!"" and then he attacked me with Fusion Flare... and as my vision faded, I remembered someone telling me about a magical seed that can revive pokemon, even after they've fainted... but they were always too expensive, or just weren't available, so, I guess I never had them... and this was no different.

Instead, it was a very silent ride up to the top, while Kamina was no doubt causing chaos for the entire tower now. Once we landed, Spruce tried his hardest to attack someone off in the distance, but couldn't quite get there before they left... just as well, once I got there, he was at the front of the group, and he took some sort of powerful fire attack, causing him to pass out, instantly. ""Spruce, no!"" I shouted as I made my way over to him, unaware of yet another attack, this one aimed me. I ended up taking the attack, and my vision started to fade, as well. ""Someone... please... get... him...!"" I tried to say to my teammates before I, too, collapsed right in front of the giant, fuzzy dragon-type, who took a few steps forwards, and shouted, yet again. ""INTRUDERS! ALL OF YOU! I WILL DESTROY ANYONE WHO DARES TRESPASSES ON MY TERRITORY!"" He then used some sort of weird attack that involved bright lights, and would probably be especially damaging to void or shadow pokemon... which happened to include Daniel, who was the next to get knocked out, and heck, the guy even landed on me as he fell from the air.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	""Everything... shifting?

""Arceus is a legendary pokemon whose powers are only exceeded by one other... he is responsible for creating all of us,"" Of course, I didn't buy into any of this, I was never into religion, or myths about pokemon who probably don't exist, but Mariah seemed captivated by it. ""Wow... a pokemon strong enough to create all life?"" she asked, mystified by the golurk's description of what almost every pokemon thinks actually happened. ""Yes... I knew him, as well... long, long ago,"" I then finally butted in, and said ""Alright, enough bible talk, and enough of the pronoun game, who's the 'HE' you're talking about here? WHO is responsible for mystery dungeons, just going off of the fact that they constantly shift?"" the golurk seemed a little angry at me, and he responded with ""HE... if... he has agents here, then I should not speak his name, lest he hears me, and attacks me... again,"" <span class=""bb-i"">again?

There's gotta be a way for all of us to get across!</span> I basically shouted at myself as I paced back and forth, the client just watched in confusion, and eventually boredom as we got absolutely nowhere fast. I then saw a dragonite land on the opposite side of the chasm, a strangely familiar dragonite, too. I also remembered a bit about her seemingly coming to her senses after we knocked her out... maybe she could actually help? It was worth a shot, at least, and I ran up to the edge of the cliff, risked everything, and used jump kick to somehow get to the other side. I closed my eyes on the way there, but the feel of rock under my feet so soon after I jumped could only mean that I succeeded. I tried not to shout anything, even though I really wanted to, given my recent success, and simply walked up to the dragonite, pretending to be calmer than I was. ""Hey, um... miss? Would you mind helping my friends out? We need to get to this side of the mountain, but... well... we can't do it, 'cause there's this huge gap. I only got here through sheer luck,"" I explained to her. I honestly expected a 'no', but, she actually agreed to help, and she flew over to the other side, picking up Eralion, first, Tini second, and then the client once everyone else was safely on the other side... of course, I almost asked her to help us find the lost nidorino, but she flew off before I got the chance.</div>"

However, at long last, he saw the sky again. ""Woah! Now that was a work out! Heh, there's a pretty nice view up here."" It was then that he noticed Reshiram ""Oh, you must be Reshiram! It's great to see you, we really need your help. You see; this guy froze this nearby village, and we need your fire to thaw it. I don't remember what his name was...and think he might be your brother or something? I don't know. When I have this much adrenaline pumping through my veins, my memories can get a little foggy sometimes.""

Unfortunately, it was too late to stop it. Reshiram was already fully corrupt, and the two Pokemon fled before anyone could do anything about it. The corruption seemed to have altered Reshiram's mind, and thinking they were intruders, he attacked. In almost an instant, he had already knocked out Spruce, Anthony, and Daniel. Josh didn't have any reviver seeds on him, and as far as he knew, nobody else did, either. If they wanted to have any chance of defeating Reshiram, then they would need some sort of plan.<br/><br/>   At that point, Matt began putting up his screens, providing them all with a defensive boost that might prevent Reshiram from knocking them out with a single attack. They also had Celes and Kamina, who would take little to no damage from Dragon and Fire attacks.<br/>""Celes, I need you to get in the way of any Dragon-type attacks headed my way."" Josh said. ""Kamina, you do the same for Miles.""<br/>Josh got himself into a position where Celes was between him and Reshiram. This way, she could easily block any Dragon attacks aimed at him.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   The Golurk knew a lot about the thing that created the mystery dungeons, and had even survived an attack from it at one point.

He was careful to not let the Golurk hear him, since pissing him off wouldn't do them any good. He decided to let Rebecca and Nina handle this, since he was pretty much useless in this kind of situation.</div>"

We officially took the honour of fighting Reshiram, because (as usual) Desia was already getting her plans ahead. I rubbed my eye and coughed a bit, seeing Reshiram with syringes sticking out and purple fog building up around him. He seemed otherwise okay, if not weary and already looking beaten down. ""The things people did to win wars."" I remembered that quote from Davis, a certain line spoken with anger and bitterness when I first learnt about history.<br/><br/>Either way, I kinda tuned out to Desia and her minion, more worried about the fact the legendary was beginning to stir. A few syringes broke off into shards and needles, while a portal behind him sealed in a great thundery flash that made Reshiram berserk. I was uncomfortable at the thought of annoying him, let alone actually fighting him...<br/><br/>The air pretty much jumped at the same time as myself, considering the volume that Reshiram spoke at when determining the fact we were intruders. He wasn't wrong, but unless he had a receptionist then this was the way to go. He didn't even sound like a deity, the panic in his voice just proving anticlimactic. That said, by the time I tried to open my gob, a bunch of bright lights almost blinded me to the left, followed by a cascade of blue explosions and heat waves. I almost went deaf from the force of the explosion that struck Spruce, only aware that Spruce was down because Celes went berserk against damned Reshiram. ""Oh for crying out loud...""<br/><br/>Then Anthony was a goner from an attack I couldn't even perceive properly, and so was that bird Daniel in a cascade of... it looked like light was disappeared in bars. I felt sorry for him considering I tried accusing him of plotting against us. That certainly wasn't the case when he fell flat against the metallic floor, and I couldn't do much but feel paralysed by inaction. Three of our party members were already down in a minute, Anthony's charred helmet rolling towards me a reminder of that testament with his pleas still ringing in my ears. I was really just stunned by the immense power of a legendary.<br/><br/>""Alright, alright... I gotta... something's gotta happen."" I swallowed and nervously held Anthony's helmet with my magnet, trying to take my mind off the fighting. While Celes smashed at Reshiram with all her might, I tried examining every detail of the slug's helmet. It seemed to have lots of scratches, chipped and flaking in places. I nearly dropped it as a sudden tint of blue appeared in front of my eye, a defence rolled out by Matt.<br/><br/>Behind that screen was a Pokemon that couldn't believe his eyes, the respect slipping away from his horror-drawn face.... ""No, t-that's wrong. That's not how any of this legendary stuff is supposed to work..."" Davis told me lots of things about legendaries, but... seeing Reshiram outlandishly acting like a mad Pokemon, raving on about destruction of others and a need to end us... I felt an urge to act. I put away my thoughts and stereotypes of higher Pokemon. As extra lights appeared in and out like Davis' old war films, I was reminded at the task at hand. Who cares if we failed? There was an entire village frozen over... and looking at a helmet that belonged to one of my fallen team mates.<br/><br/>I'll tell you now, the act of putting away my beliefs in god-like Pokemon let me confront Arceus for the Pokemon he was. I set down Anthony's helmet and stirred my magnet around. I took a breather and imagined a chorus of music being shattered, replaced by an urgent need to fight on with my remaining party. Energy flowed around and I felt a bit warmer than before. Strange considering how even the tower felt struck down by heat. I slammed my magnets together and shut my eye, brightness still searing into my pupil as a force of light propelled itself against Reshiram, striking his arm and causing him to stumble awkwardly. I shuddered at the thought of even hitting him, but I had to do it. No one was a god walking amongst us after all.</div>"

Reshiram roared, and blasted Celes with a giant beam of some sort, a hyper beam... I've only seen that move used once, before, and that was in a play... and was also fake. Seeing the real thing would have probably made me shiver, especially as used by a legendary of Reshiram's caliber. ""FOOLISH INTRUDERS! YOU DO NOT KNOW THE POWER THAT YOU FACE, HERE!"" Reshiram said as he roared, again... though, he seemed a little exhausted after that, which gave the Charizard and Salamence enough time to actually attack the thing, again, with a dragon claw, and a dragon pulse respectively... oddly enough, even these moves didn't seem to do much to Reshiram. ""Why...? Why did it have to end like this...?"" I managed to say through the pain, through the weakness. I probably wasn't helping matters much, but, then again, it really did look bleak. Our teammates were getting flung and knocked out like rattata, and we can't do a single thing to our opponent... worse, if he had hyper beam, that meant that we couldn't safely use our strategy, at least, not if Celes got knocked out, too. Sure, if we knew about it, and someone took the attack, and didn't get KO'd, we could have Miles take his hyper beams... but that was no longer an option. <br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>We all continued forwards as the golurk seemed to be confused by everything around him. However, once everyone started talking, he seemed to snap out of that confusion. ""Yes... somewhere safer would be nice, but I wouldn't suggest looking too far into this. It could lead to your death... or worse,"" That sort of warning was pretty common, and almost always wrong. If we stopped looking into this, and nobody else ever does, then HE, or IT might end up taking over, and nobody would know how to stop it, or even if it's possible. ""And yes... he looks quite a bit like that... a strange, scrambled monolith. Please don't tell me you've encountered HIM before,"" I then piped up with ""Yes, we did, and we lived to tell the tale. Teleportation is an amazing power, isn't it?"" that seemed to make him more scared than impressed, and I had to wonder why. It's not like we actually got corrupted by that thing, as far as I can tell, we didn't even get hurt from it, but, that didn't matter, as the golurk seemed to fly into a rage, and shout ""YOU ARE HIS AGENTS! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!"" I then jumped back, and tried to say something, managing to say ""Um... wait! I-if we were agents of his... then why the heck would we ask you about him, huh?"" this seemed to thankfully calm him down before he attacked, and he answered with ""I suppose that makes sense... an agent of his would not desire to, nor need to, learn about him... and they certainly wouldn't attack other, stronger agents, let alone question them afterwards,"" <span class=""bb-i"">That was close... but why did he assume we were his agents? Does a simple attack from him corrupt? I suppose that would explain the weird... zombie... we saw earlier.</span> I thought as we continued on, eventually coming to a gap that was high enough to lead to our deaths if we fell.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>As soon as everyone was on the other side, I tried to answer Tini's simple question, but the client decided to do so for me ""What's next!? You're supposed to be helping me find my lost love. He got lost, remember?"" I then responded with ""He... doesn't remember stuff for too long,"" the client sighed at that, and we moved on, making it past a strangely suspicious waterfall on our way. I could have sworn I saw a red tentacle in there, but, then again, a water type probably wouldn't have gotten this far up a mountain, where there's almost no water, at least, a water type that was reliant on the sea in some way wouldn't. I heard another roar, this time, thankfully, it was more quiet than the last one, and I could almost hear some speech in there ""...AND THEY'LL TARGET MY CRYSTAL NEXT! I MUST PREPARE!"" that confused the heck out of me... what crystal? Who would target him? Who was he, and why did he need to prepare? That roar raised too many questions, and I didn't feel like I should try to answer them, myself. The client seemed just as confused, as she just stared at me, and then Tini, almost as if asking if Tini could have made that roar. I shook my head, as his voice wasn't anywhere near as deep as... whoever that was... and we somehow seem to have made it to the top without too many more complications. I could see the lost nidorino talking to some random abra, and a strange altar. The client tried to head to her love, and the nidorino ran to her... but, another roar stopped them both in their tracks, and a giant green snakelike creature descended from the skies, and oddly slowly, too, given the thing's lack of wings. ""YOU! You want my void crystal, don't you!? YOU WILL HAVE TO DESTROY ME BEFORE YOU CAN GET IT! I WILL NOT LET CRIMINAL SCUM LIKE YOU TAKE IT!"" the snake, who I just figured out was rayquaza shouted at us before trying to attack me with a dragon claw!

Kamina used to be a very angry fishy, back when he lived in the ocean. All that time spent being metaphorically stepped on by everyone kindled a blazing rage inside of him. However, like a fire, it's source of fuel was used up. He spent so much of his life angry, that whatever mental resource sustained that flames of rage burned up, leaving only empty apathy when it ran out. Oh sure, he still got mad from time to time...but that was akin to poking a dying campfire; it just stirred a few still surviving embers. But this...this changed things. In continuing with the fire metaphor; what Reshiram did was akin to a couple dozen fully grown redwood trees onto a dying fire, pour a few gallons of oil on top of <span class=""bb-i"">that</span>, and then hitting it with a Blast Burn for good measure. To put it bluntly; Kamina felt <span class=""bb-b""><span class=""bb-i"">RAGE</span></span><br/><br/>""HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIENDS...MY FAMILY!""

We already met some other crazy people here, so I'm guessing there might in the water that makes your brain go duhhhhhhhh. But don't worry; because I know just how to fix this!""

Josh was trying to stay optimistic, but if the fight kept going the way it was going now, it certainly wouldn't end well.<br/>""Everyone just stay calm. We need to...um...""

An old, rotten plank of wood bridged the two sides together. She didn’t really understand why someone would bother to cut out a plank of wood just to use as a bridge, but whoever it was apparently never bothered to build a better bridge, let alone replace the obviously worn plank. She wasn’t sure if it could support even her meager fourteen and a half pound frame. She took a quick peek down the chasm before reeling away, preferring not to dwell on the image. Dexter suggested that she teleport the team across, which seemed like a fabulous idea in comparison to the alternative.<br/><br/>	“Yeah, yeah...” Rebecca snapped back, at least happy that she wasn’t the only one who knew it was a good idea to keep Teleport, “It’s just a small gap. You might want to watch your footing once we’re across, though. I’m still not used to doing this with extra passengers.” She held on to the rest of the team and took a deep breath, counting to three and exhaling for the same amount of time as she focused on the other side of the chasm. Once she hit zero, she teleported the team across to the other side, with several feet of distance between them and the edge of the cliff.<br/><br/>	“There we go!” The Ralts exclaimed, twirling happily and quickly shooting her fist up into the air, “Everyone’s ok, right?”<br/></div>"

""HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIENDS... MY FAMILY!"" that was Kamina. I almost felt inspired enough to actually get up, and then he continued with ""IF YOU WANT TO HURT THEM ANYMORE, THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH MY DEAD BODY!!!"" that's when I finally got back up, despite the fact that I was still in pain... somehow, it just didn't bother me, anymore. ""You'll have to get through me, too,"" I managed to say to Reshiram, who, after stumbling backwards from Kamina's obviously powerful attack, looked at me, and seemed confused. ""What!? How! You're supposed to be little more than ASHES at this point!"" I just shrugged, and somehow I felt as if I was stronger... as if someone increased some sort of invisible stat, and I ran right up to him, somehow faster than usual, just to bash him in the face with a void whip, which... actually hurt him, for once! ""NO! This shouldn't happen! That attack should be PITIFULLY WEAK!"" He then roared, and he aimed another fusion flare at me, but, despite having just gotten up from getting knocked out from that... I still stood. ""You shouldn't be able to survive that attack, let alone stay standing!"" I didn't answer him, but that was mostly because I had no idea why all of this was happening, myself. That was just about when Anthony somehow got here, apparently, he somehow got back up, as well, despite him being just as bad off as I was... well, maybe not, given that his species was known for being able to take special attacks, but still, it was surprising.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	I still couldn't move... no matter what Kamina said, and even after Spruce got up, I was still just too badly hurt to do anything, however, I noticed Reshiram stumble backwards, and, not only that, but it seemed like Spruce's attack was actually hurting him, as well. <span class=""bb-i"">So, he's not invincible... he's not powerful enough to kill us easily... he CAN be defeated...</span> that thought was what seemed to bring me back to... wait, I don't have feet, but I regained my ability to move, and somehow, I felt better than ever. Reshiram started shouting about how all of this was impossible, and I tried not questioning it, as that might break whatever the heck just happened, and instead, I used dragonbreath on the formerly imposing legendary. It was still somewhat lackluster, but, as if by a stroke of luck, the attack seemed to paralyze Reshiram, somehow. <span class=""bb-i"">He's done for, now... especially if everyone else can deal damage to him.</span> I thought as the legendary tried to make his way over towards Matt, however, his paralysis seemed to prevent him from doing that. He simply roared, whether that was in pain form the attacks or paralysis, or just because he was frustrated, I'll never know, but, while he tried to attack, he couldn't. Something made his attack fail, and I knew exactly what it was. ""How DARE you intruders... PARALYZE me!"" Reshiram shouted at everyone in the group, but, nobody listened.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini seemed to have the brilliant idea of rushing at the giant snake, and bashing its head in with a frying pan. This would have worked SO much better if the thing wasn't about five times my size, and it only seemed to make him angrier. ""TINY DRAGON! GET OFF OF MY HEAD, AND OBEY MY ORDERS!"" Rayquaza roared as he tried to shake Tini off of his head. Eralion tried to wait for a chance to counter Rayquaza's attacks, but they never seemed to come, thanks to Tini distracting the thing. I then tried to think of something... jump kick would be useless, 'cause it can fly, dizzy punch might work, but I'm a little out of practice with that move, attract...? I had no idea which gender this thing was, and I wasn't about to check, so that was out of the question, which left me with two options. I could either try to confuse Rayquaza with dizzy punch, or try to do as much damage as I can with frustration, a move that I am VERY familiar with. I tried to weigh the pros and cons for each choice, but, since I couldn't come up with a solution, I decided to take a single pokécoin out of my bag, and I flicked it into the air, catching it, and thinking <span class=""bb-i"">Okay, heads, I'll use dizzy punch, tails, I'll use frustration.</span> before revealing that it landed on 'tails', where, instead of an engraved Mew face, it showed the more familiar 'P' symbol. With that, I decided to try my best to damage this thing with frustration, making sure to think about the horrors my father put me through as I did so. Somehow, this actually worked! It seemed to actually hurt the thing enough to at least make it take notice. It roared in pain from that, and I still had to wonder if Tini was on his face after all this.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Without hesitation, well, save for one, her actually focusing, we were teleported across the chasm, and the golurk just flew above us... somehow. ""Wait, you can fly, and you didn't tell us!?"" I said to the golurk, who responded with ""Yes, and you never asked. I would have gladly helped you to the top of this mountain if you just asked,"" with an exasperated sigh, I asked ""So... will you fly us to the top of the mountain?"" he nodded in response, and flew us up, passing by a waterfall, and oddly few enemy pokémon. We also heard yet another roar... this mountain was getting really loud, but, as we got closer to the top of the place, I overheard some actual speaking ""TINY DRAGON! GET OFF OF MY HEAD, AND OBEY MY ORDERS!"" I... almost didn't want to know what was up ahead, but since I couldn't find the abra anywhere, as well as the fact that, if I recall, said abra was actually on the top of the mountain, anyways, according to our client, I suppose we HAD to head towards what now sounded like a fight. For some odd reason, the golurk wasn't too effected. ""Hm... I wonder if we'll have to fight off a rogue dragon-type... whoever they are, they aren't following Rayquaza's orders. He's the leader of all the dragons, you know,"" I just shook my head at this. I knew at least a few dragon types, and I've never heard of Rayquaza. If this guy was controlling all of them, or was their king, or ruler, or whatever, surely they would have told me about that, right? Even so, why would he make his subjects attack us? We're just here to fix problems... and, not only that, but this entity clearly has control over this mountain, anyways. I decided not to tell him that this wasn't true anymore, for fear of having him go crazy, again, and just continued onward, towards the fight, which eventually came into view. A familiar trio was accompanied by a nidorina, nidorino, and an abra, all of whom tried to stay back, and seemed too scared to actually help. Given what they were fighting, a giant, green, flying snake... that seemed to be the appropriate response. I honestly didn't know whether we should fight, or stay back, so I asked my teammates ""Uh, guys? What do you think? Should we help the other team, or should we just try to inch our way over to our client and hope that the snake doesn't notice us?""</div>"

I will not let you go and hurt us! We will fight till the end! We will survive!"" she says, new confidence in her. Why did she feel like that? She didn't know, but it felt really good right now. This was kinda like pure adrenaline had formed inside of her.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion frowned at this. He wanted to take the hit.... but that didn't happen at all. Dang... He could have done so much damage from this. He moved quickly instead, weighting his options here. Counter would not work, brick break either.... he had the option of bullet punch or crunch here. Although bullet punch could be useful ,he instead jumped and then crunched onto the giant snake, trying to break his scales possibly and weaken his defense. This would be the best bet here to do the most damage. If he can break his scales and make everyone able to do more damage, it would be really nice.</div>"

On top of that, Anthony had managed to paralyze him, and Spruce took a Fusion Flare like it was nothing. Seeing that Reshiram was significantly weaker now, Josh tried launching a Sludge Bomb at him, and surprisingly, it actually seemed to do some damage. He wasn't sure if Reshiram had been weakened, or if they'd all just gotten stronger, but either way, this sudden change meant that, unlike before, they had a chance at winning this fight.

For Dexter, the answer was simple. <br/>""Screw the other team, alright?"" He said. ""They're the ones that were stupid enough to pick a fight with that thing.

She supposed it was technically a ghost, but she never really thought of it that way until just then. Nevertheless, it was a welcome change of pace for her. The mountains and the lands below were actually quite beautiful to her now that she had time to look. And now that she had time to look, she noticed the great dragon, Rayquaza, even if it looked less than dignified at the moment.<br/><br/>	Whereas many Pokemon today didn’t seem to know much about so-called “legendary” Pokemon, but one with a privileged background like Rebecca’s would have at least some degree of knowledge: To her, Rayquaza was most often a character in her mother’s fairy tales, sometimes a warning not to journey out alone. The dragon also made the odd appearance in the records of the royal library, the historicity of which was often taken with a grain of salt. It was the kind of thing that went nicely on a family’s crest, or an army’s banner or helm, in the hopes of improving the impression of one’s stature. She never actually expected to see Rayquaza, let alone come across a fight with one. She wagered that they might have a slightly better chance of winning against it than the monolith creature, but it still wasn’t enough to make her eager to fight the thing.<br/><br/>	“As much as I hate to say it,” Rebecca decided, “I agree with Dexter. Considering I don’t even know who we’re supposed to help out, there’s a lot we don’t know about what’s going on over there, and there’s a lot of ways that this could go wrong. For now, let’s just help the one we came here to find in the first place. We’ll come back later if we need to, okay?”</div>"

I couldn't quite feel the attack or even see what was coming, but I definitely took it straight. It hit me so hard that I felt the heat escaping behind me, while darkness enclosed on my peripherals and vision. Every single sense was knocked out of me, except for my hearing; lots of ringing and tinnitus.<br/><br/>However, what seemed to be distant tones turned into a frantic orchestra in my head. I steadily rose against overwhelming weakness in my body, wiping off metal shavings and rust from the attack. The various pieces in my head gained clarity, and it turned out to be Kamina's own voice as he struck against Reshiram. <br/><br/>Unbelievably, Reshiram flinched. <span class=""bb-i"">Now we just need to know if it bleeds; then we can kill it.</span> A paraphrased quote from Davis came to mind, especially when I witnessed the new force from my own team. The Charizard and Salamence we freed earlier couldn't really believe their eyes either, and I wouldn't be surprised if other Pokemon in the tower came up just to watch. Half a dozen attacks stumped Reshiram's own ego and almost bought him pleading, evident in his eyes as they turned to fear rather than that of a god.<br/><br/>At that point, it was the perfect importunity to fight. I traded away fatigue and pain in my magnets for a sense of motivation, thinking of just what to hit Reshiram with. Every attack seemed like a light show, and I didn't have much time to think of anything. I did however feel a sense of foreboding and dread as soon as I clamped my magnets together, as well as a dark mist that somehow seemed to cool the ridiculous temperature of the place.<br/><br/>Reshiram was still busy trying to wave away attacks and boast against absurdity, but a thunderclap seemed to deafen even that. I couldn't think of anything but lightning and electricity - which somehow put me on the other side of the arena we were fighting in. I looked back to see a cohort of lightning balls and thunder crackles (which I couldn't even see properly, given they were somehow black and giving off light) that followed me in a straight line, while also surging through Reshiram painfully. <span class=""bb-i"">Seems like this'll come to a close soon.</span> I thought, as I let the heat catch up to me.</div>"

I could have sworn Reshiram was going to say something, but, someone, or something just produced lightning and thunder loud enough to temporarily mute the booming voice that the legendary pokemon had. A quick glance once everything settled revealed the culprit to be Miles, who looked... well, pretty much the same as he always did, honestly. He seemed more motivated, somehow, and, oddly, so did I. ""H-HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!?"" Reshiram shouted at the top of his lungs once we could hear, again, and he tried to use Fusion Flare on me, once more... and just like last time, it didn't seem to do much. Sure, it hurt, but I could easily take a hundred of them, I felt. Celes said something about fighting until the end, and Reshiram seemed oddly scared, now... the tables truly have turned. It was odd seeing a legendary afraid of some common pokemon... pokemon that the legendary would normally just swat away without a second thought, and yet, here I was, witnessing this usually mighty creature experience fear... I used another void whip, knocking Reshiram into a pillar, a chunk of which somehow fell on Anthony's head, or, at least, his helmet, which at first, seemed to knock him out. Anthony got back up, and started barking orders, apparently, he, in his own words, was something called a 'general' now, whatever pokemon that was. What was really odd was Reshiram's reaction... ""You have no rank here, General, can't you see? The world has changed, now, General,"" <span class=""bb-i"">You have no rank here? The world has changed, now? Was it ever different from what it is, now? Is he talking about the mystery dungeons, or something even more mysterious?</span> I thought as Reshiram argued with Anthony, who somehow pulled off five dragon breath attacks in a row!<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	I became blind and deaf for a short moment before Reshiram shouted something, and a chunk of rock fell on my helmet... I felt REALLY weird after that, and I started shouting almost random things, such as ""WHOSE FLASHBANG WAS THAT!? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US ALL KILLED?"" as well as ""C'mon, troops, we got the enemy cornered, now we just gotta tie him down!"" I wasn't sure if I was motivating them or not, but, for the first time, I could HEAR what I was babbling about while I was in that alternate state of mind. ""Huh!? HEY! I'm the only general around here, ya grey bastard! Go command your own troops!"" I shouted at Vine in this state. He didn't seem to understand, but, then again, neither did I... what was strange was the fact that Reshiram, of all pokemon, understood, and he even gave a rebuttal ""You have no rank here, General, can't you see? The world has changed, now, General,"" after which, I mostly returned to normal, and used that strange power I seemed to get after all that... weird crazy-talk to power everyone up, and immediately afterwards, I used dragon breath... and somehow, with that power active, I used it five times in a row, dealing significant damage to Reshiram, who I just noticed was actually afraid of us, now. Daniel got back up at this point, and he tried a shadow rush attack on Reshiram, yet, somehow, even with all this motivation, even with all this extra power, that STILL did nothing. <span class=""bb-i"">Is Reshiram somehow immune to shadow attacks? CAN a pokemon be immune to those?</span> I thought as Daniel noticed the fact that his attack did nothing, and retreated back to me... the charizard and salamence that brought us here finally joined in, attacking Reshiram with two dragon claw attacks each.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini absolutely refused to get off of Rayquaza's head, and he continued to hit the giant green dragon snake with his frying pan while I tried to explain ""We're really not here for the crystal, we're just trying to finish a mission, alright!?"" of course, Rayquaza wasn't buying this, and he finally tried to attack... Eralion? Yes, for some reason, he tried to attack Eralion with a Sky Drop, flinging Eralion, and himself into the air... and, of course, doing the same to Tini, just because Tini was still somehow on his head, and still attacking. I couldn't hit the thing while it was in the air, but, as soon as he did that, I overheard someone familiar ""Alright, now's our chance, let's get outta here!"" That was that nidoran, and her group... <span class=""bb-i"">how can that psychic type stand being around me? Heck, she's even a ralts! Those things are supposed to be extra sensitive to that stuff, aren't they?</span> I thought as I tried to formulate some sort of plan... maybe we could make it out of here without actually fighting Rayquaza... if only I had the right seeds... I looked around in my bag, and noticed two very old seeds... yeesh, I had no idea what they were before, but I could smell it from here... they were X-eye seeds now. Wait... that was it! That was our way outta this place! Now... I just had to wait for Eralion to land... ""Hang in there, Eralion! I got a plan to get us out of here! Tini, get off of Rayquaza as soon as he lands, alright? We're going to make a beeline for our client!"" I shouted to my team, hoping that at least one of them heard that. Just after that, I saw a few pokemon teleport away... I guess the others finished their mission up here.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	It seemed like everyone was in agreement... we weren't going to help the fellow explorers against the legendary. <span class=""bb-i"">Fair enough, I suppose... it's not like we'd be a match for that thing, anyways, at best we'd provide a temporary distraction...</span> I thought as I tried my best to sneak past everyone. ""We're really not here for the crystal, we're just trying to finish a mission, alright!?"" the lopunny shouted at the legendary... who obviously didn't care, and decided to take  her pangoro friend into the sky with himself... which meant that he wouldn't be able to do anything if he saw us, right now! ""Alright, now's our chance, let's get outta here!"" I shouted to my teammates as I ran right for our client, the abra... but, as soon as I got there, a team consisting of a snivy, a bulbasaur, and a mudkip appeared out of what seemed to be thin air, and teleported away with the client. I was shocked... did someone just STEAL A MISSION FROM US!? Thankfully, we could still teleport back using the badges, and I did exactly that... even if it meant that most of my items somehow miraculously disappeared. Once I, and the rest of the team, were back at the guild, I finally spoke ""Is... is that legal? Is that... ugh! Those must have been the same jerks that were spying on us from the bushes! You remember, right?"" I was looking at rebecca when I said this, but I guessed either of the two could give a response, and, either way, I continue on. ""Those jerks... they waited for us to stumble, or, I dunno, they went on ahead after catching wind of our mission while we were taking a break, and... AGH... that's just..."" I couldn't really form a decent sentence after that, and grumbled all the way to the team's room... which had an envelope in the middle of it.</div>"

She didn’t know why they would climb up a mountain just to steal a mission, or how they managed to outpace them, or how there wasn’t anything to present this issue. She liked to think of herself as someone who always assumed the best than others, but she didn’t plan on letting this one slide. No one messed with her team like that.<br/><br/>	“Yeah,” Rebecca said, nodding when Nina asked if she remembered them, “I’m pretty sure they planned this out. If they ever try this again we can hopefully catch them in the act.” Her words didn’t hold a lot of weight behind them, however. She sighed as she walked into her team’s room, carelessly opening the envelope with her psychic powers and examining its contents with them at the same time.<br/><br/>	“A TM for Dazzling Gleam.” Rebecca noted, looking at the strange disc’s label. It was definitely an improvement over her current set of tricks, but it felt like table scraps compared to the reward they missed out on, especially considering she was the only one who could get much use out of it. Dexter’s complaint gave her an idea, though.<br/><br/>	“So I don’t think either of you guys can use this,” Rebecca said thoughtfully, “And I don’t really need a slightly better move that badly. Do you wanna go see if we can sell this in town later and split the money between the two of you? I don’t really need the money all that much, and you guys worked really hard today.

He was dazed and confused, if not bewildered as he stumbled back and forth. Spruce took the Fusion Flare like a gust of wind, wadding through the attack and whipping at Reshiram. He almost seemed to exaggerate the force of it, to the point where he started mumbling and monologuing towards Anthony. It was deadly familiar, but I didn't say anything about it; it wasn't as if anyone else here knew. Hell, Davis would've went nuts if he was there. <br/><br/>Anthony seemed to take a few pages out of history, taking the scenario too seriously. In fact, I had only just noticed the flaking helmet he was wearing, branded with a few stars. That said, he was motivating everyone to beat down Reshiram, going out of his way to actually break convention and burst fire from his mouth several times. Which admittedly looked strange on a slug, but he did it about FIVE times, enough to make Reshiram recoil just from shock.<br/><br/>Everyone was doing their finest against Reshiram, and that was after taking a ridiculously painful attack earlier. He became a large stumbling punch-bag for everyone in fact, while Celes and Kamina ended up shouting over each other on his morality and everything else. It was almost too much for me to bear (because I couldn't even see half the damned battle), with Reshiram turning into every colour of the spectrum from every single attack hitting him at odd angles.<br/><br/>I wasn't going to be left out of it though. I clamped my magnets together and let out a small spark, readying it towards Reshiram's centre of mass. I was some distance away considering I dashed through him, though my attack (like many others) reached Reshiram within a second, a pulse of light erupting from my magnets and blinding the likes of Reshiram. I was growing quite unsettled and brooding, likely from the unknown move I had performed earlier.</div>"

Reshiram growled at this, as if he was more annoyed than angry, and I let loose with another void whip, as he took serious damage from everyone's attacks. He then finally addressed Celes' shouting with ""I am NOT corrupted! I AM IMMUNE TO IT! You should know, YOU TRESPASSERS TRIED THAT!"" he roared, again... and tried attacking, but, again, couldn't do anything... of course, at this point, Miles used another lightning attack, or three. Anthony then used dragonbreath four times against him, dealing some serious damage, and Kamina came up with a plan... beat him up... of course, we were already doing that, so the plan was completely unnecessary. I then felt a strange, yet familiar power growing... I started forming my void energy into an attack I've only ever used once, before... the void bomb. As soon as it was ready, I threw the thing at Reshiram, finishing him off, or, at least, making him pass out. ""We did it every...o...n...e..."" as I said that, I felt my own consciousness fading, and, soon enough, I passed out, as well. I could faintly hear a familiar voice after a while... my own brother, who at one point made me join his team, and at another fought me underwater for some sort of void crystal thing... wait, weren't we supposed to be collecting those, or something? It's been a while since we've found one, and that orb that Reshiram was guarding kinda looked like one.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	More attacks were thrown, and all of them hit more than once. Reshiram tried his best to retaliate, but, thanks to his paralysis, he couldn't do a single thing as we just continued with what had quickly become a beat-down. Eventually, Spruce did something weird... he formed a giant, grey orb out of nothing, and threw said orb at Reshiram... the orb exploded, and then both of them fainted... Spruce probably due to exhaustion, and Reshiram just from damage. ""We did it every...o...n..e..."" Spruce managed to mutter before he passed out, and, honestly, I couldn't blame him. I felt like I was barely awake, myself, and I would have just fallen asleep, but, Static decided to poke his head out of my bag, and say ""Anthony! The orb's unguarded! Let's get that thing while Reshiram's taking his nap!"" I nodded at this, and made my way over to the orb, taking it, and putting the grey, possibly 'void' orb in my bag... and then I noticed a vine whip attached to one of the windows. I looked over the edge to see a blue snivy... oh, wait, no, that was just Vine... but what the heck would a famous explorer like him be doing in this place? He climbed up his own vine whip, skipping the tower we had to tortuously climb, and once he got up here, he ran right to Spruce. ""Spruce, are you alright!? Spruce? Answer me!"" He then pulled out a reviver seed from his bag, and fed it to Spruce... who didn't wake up. He fed one to Reshiram, as well, who seemed much calmer, now, for some reason. ""What... happened? Who are you pokemon?"" that was just about the time that Reshiram looked down to see a knocked-out, or possibly worse, Spruce. ""WHAT HAVE I DONE!?"" he shouted, as Vine continued trying to wake up Spruce... why was Vine so obsessed with Spruce, anyways?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	As soon as everyone was away from Rayquaza, I took out one of the fermented, possibly rotten seeds, and threw it at the legendary. Somehow, once the thing made contact with Rayquaza, he started flying around randomly, attacking the air instead of us... giving us the perfect opportunity to finally escape! I ran over to the nidorino, and teleported everyone back to the guild. ""Whew... that was close. Could you imagine having to actually FIGHT that thing?"" the client seemed to agree with me with a nod. She added ""Yes... that would have been a disaster, but... what, exactly did you throw at it?"" I responded with ""An X-eye seed... kinda? It was an edible, and sweet-tasting seed at one point, but I kinda left it in my bag for too long, and... that was the result,"" the nidorina seemed a little disgusted by that, but, she handed me an oran berry as a reward... <span class=""bb-i"">Oh... right, now I remember.

I shrugged, and headed to the team's room, where Tini and Eralion would likely follow... it was oddly early for us having completed a mission, but, I still felt exhausted. <span class=""bb-i"">I can't believe I almost fought a legendary for an Oran berry... well, I guess when you don't have anything in your bag, you'll end up doing some crazy things.</span> I thought as I sat down on the uncomfortable, straw bed that, at one point, was an absolute dream to sleep in.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Inside the envelope was a letter that fell to the floor, and a TM for dazzling gleam... well, it wasn't really the BEST reward, but, if it was a second-gen TM, the kind that doesn't break, then it would be worth a LOT of money, which we could easily divide between us for some supplies... or whatever Dexter wanted. ""Yeah, that sounds like a plan, Rebecca. Let's do that,"" I then decided to actually read the letter...<br/>	'To Team Crescendo,<br/>  I've discovered something horrible about the group of<br/>  pokemon that I've been working with for a while... I<br/>  need you and your team to use that TM, and find me at<br/>  the cafe... it's of the utmost importance... at least,<br/>  it is if you wish to stop that block monster from...<br/>  doing whatever it is that thing wants to do with us.<br/>	~A familiar bronzor'<br/>""Guys... before we sell this thing, well, just take a look..."" I then showed them the letter, making sure that they've read the whole thing before showing to the next one, and then I looked down. ""Maybe this TM was all he could do to help us, but... to be honest, a couple reviver seeds might be more helpful... I guess I'll leave it up to you, I just don't know what we should do about this,"" I didn't know what to expect, either... what 'horrible thing' did that bronzor discover about his group? What would be so horrible that he had to contact us, and send us to deal with? Why the TM? Did it involve dragon-types?

Unfortunately, all raves end; when the sparks and fires cleared away (with one last tower-rattling implosion), Reshiram had fallen and slammed into the ground, instantly incapacitated and letting the air settle at last. He could've been mistaken for Zekrom based on the blackened skin, and I felt obliged to check if he was really defeated. Before I had a chance to inspect Reshiram, I heard another thud behind ourselves, which was bad on its own.<br/><br/>""That's not good..."" I had forgotten Spruce took a battering, and so did everyone else. As the adrenaline wore off, many things set in; I felt aches and twists all around my body, and my vision was briefly unfocused as I floated over towards the commotion. A bit of echoing set in from voices all around me, but I could at least clearly see Spruce sprawled on the charred floor. He was swooped up by Kamina while Celes cried and begged for help. My face was numb and I was more or less glad we were just still around, instead of meeting up in Arceus' domain. More echoes and ringing in my air followed Reshiram's voice, notably more regal and less paranoid as he slowly crawled towards us.

It's near the frozen forest, as well, if that helps at all,"" thankfully, that DID seem to help him figure things out, and, before I could answer Josh's question, Vine answered for him ""I'm Vine, the leader of the Wildvines, Spruce's old team... and yes, I'm also his brother. I'd tell you more, but... I'd rather just teleport back to the guild with my little bro,"" Vine then walked over to Kamina, and jumped onto his head before using his own diamond-rank badge to teleport the two away. ""Well, Reshiram, can we count on your help in unfreezing the town? I heard you were the only one who could put a stop to your brother's rampage... or something like that,"" I asked Reshiram, who eventually answered with ""My brother!? Which one? The cold one, or the electric one?"" of course, that question just implies that he wasn't listening to what I said about the town being frozen, but I decided to answer, anyways ""The cold one. I didn't know you had another brother,"" Reshiram sighed at that, and responded with ""Yes, I assume you wouldn't... and I guess it was stupid of me to think that my long-lost brother from centuries ago would be here, in this world,"" that... did nothing more than confuse me, and he must have noticed that, as he added ""Sorry about that... but, yes, now I know where we need to go, and I will help you with this,"" Reshiram then picked up as many of us as he could, making sure to include Kamina in this, and flew over to the frozen town, with the charizard and the salamence following him, with whomever he didn't pick up on their backs.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	""Well, I am feeling a little tired, but... er... sure...""

On one hand, it's one mission that can't be stolen, but... on the other, it's also probably just a bit over our skill level.

Even if I somehow felt pain, this still couldn't be real.

It just didn't add up, at all. ""Do you not see, and feel the evidence before you? You are here, in my realm, and you are helpless. Why can't you just accept this?"" Giratina asked me. Did he read my mind? I knew Giratina was a legendary, but didn't only psychic type pokemon read minds? From what I read about him, Giratina was NOT a psychic type, at all.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Vine]<br/><br/>	After the teleport back, Celes decided to join me, and my brother, back in the guild. I wanted to say something, but, decided against it, as I looked back at my brother, who needed some sort of medical attention, desperately. Thankfully, all guilds have some sort of medical professional, just to make sure every member's in tip-top shape... of course, whether or not that works depends on whether or not the pokemon in question was willing to GO to a doctor, in the first place. I rushed Spruce over to the healer's room, thinking <span class=""bb-i"">Oh, yeah, that's right, they still call themselves 'healers' in this world... how did I mix that up?</span> as I waited for my turn. Assuming Celes followed, I said ""You know... I'm probably hiding it, but... I'm actually kind of panicking right now. I don't want this to take too long, and... well, you know..."" of course, if she didn't follow for some reason, I probably just made myself look like a complete idiot, not that it mattered, as most of the pokemon in this guild were huge fans of mine that would say that I'm perfect, even if they caught me talking to an inanimate rock. The healer finally called me in, and I didn't waste a single moment explaining what happened to her, and putting Spruce on a bed. ""Ah... I see... so... your friend here..."" I then cut her off to correct her with ""brother,"" to which she simply continued on ""has... been so... badly damaged that... reviver seeds... won't work...? That is... an issue..."" she spoke so slowly that I really thought she wouldn't get to him in time, and that only served to annoy me, and make me panic even more. She applied some sort of weird salve on some of his burns, and that seemed to cause Spruce to flinch. Normally, that would be horrible, but, right now, that just meant he was alive.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Reshiram seemed to actually consider M's plan, but he shook his head, and responded with ""No, I'm afraid if I do this without first knocking some sense into my brother, he'll just freeze it over, again. We'll have to find, and possibly defeat him, first, I'm afraid,"" I nodded, and looked over to Josh, whose friend was trapped in the ice here, and I tried to give him a comforting pat on the back... but I was too short, so, I settled with saying ""Just one more dungeon, buddy, we're almost there,"" of course, I, personally, was sick of dungeons at this point, but, I didn't want to just ditch my team. At least Celes and Spruce had a reason to do that, right? I had no excuse, and I wanted to see this mission through to the end, so I took my first step, if you can call it that, into the icy cave that Reshiram landed in front of. I was immediately greeted with freezing temperatures, a wild sligoo, and ice all over the walls and floors, which made me slip, and slide over to a nearby wall, unfortunately. The wild sligoo then used dragon pulse on me, probably expecting to hit a weak point, but my helmet actually lessened the move's effects. I then reformed myself, and used dragon breath on the sligoo, who took some serious damage from that, and, of course, Daniel finished it off with a shadow tackle. Reshiram then made it in, somehow, and shook his head. ""A place like this, defiled by the wild pokemon thanks to the town forgetting about it... it's no wonder Kyurem became enraged... I just wish he didn't lash out on the innocent townsfolk,"" I then tried to look through the ice, and I could see a path that seemed to lead downwards... perhaps if we could convince Reshiram to melt the ice, we could get to Kyurem faster.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	""Uh... right. Sorry about that, it's just an old habit. I will tell you more, now that I'm not among their ranks,"" the bronzor said to us, in response to both Rebecca and Dexter's complaining. He then continued with ""They are a group of pokemon who might be as many as three hundred strong, and they, at least, to everyone who asks, are researching a way to stop the spread of mystery dungeons... however, they have, instead, been helping the mysterious entity, which you know as the rectangle monster in spreading them..."" he continued on, and I decided to say ""Let me get to the point. We need an address. We need a location for their base. We can't just run around, blindly, and expect to find a SECRET organization, can we?"" this seemed to finally focus the bronzor, as he responded with ""Oh, right... I actually have a map to get to their base... for further reference, this map SHOULD make the dungeon 'Crystal Chasm' look like this..."" he then handed us the map, and continued ""Which will force it to, quote, place the square the base is on, end quote, right at the map's 'X'... as for the TM, and why it's important, I thought you might appreciate having a fairy-type move that's twice as powerful as what you've got against a group consisting mainly of dragon, and or dark types... of course, there are other types in there, but, that's what most of them are,"" I took the map, and showed it to the rest of my team, and, when I turned it around, I noticed a button, of all things on the back of it.</div>"

It definitely helped him calm down a little. ""Just one more. Yeah."" He said, looking down into the cave Reshiram brought them to. If it was like every other dungeon they'd been to, Kyurem's lair would most likely be at the deepest point. It would be a long way down, but he had to do it, for Kiera.<br/><br/>   After the wild Sliggoo near the entrance was taken care of, Josh took a look at the inside of the cave. A thick layer of ice completely covered all of the floors and walls. For Josh, as well as everyone else who could fly or float, this wasn't much of a problem. For those who couldn't, though, it was difficult to move around without sliding all around the room. If any of the rooms later on had pits or other hazards, this could really be a problem.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   The Bronzor gave them a map that would apparently force Crystal Chasm to bring them to this group's base.

If they did end up going to Crystal Chasm, it was best to be cautious.<br/><br/>   Dexter couldn't help but notice the button on the back of the map. ""What's that do?"" He asked. If he had to guess, it was probably some kind of self-destruct button. Since the map belonged to a secret organization, it would make sense for them to have an easy way to destroy it, in case they were captured or something.</div>"

She could still hope, though, even if she still had to come up with a backup plan. Though she’d probably understand the deal with the organization itself better as she went along, for now she got exactly what she wanted to know in the form of a map. It was a bit confusing about how it worked, but she felt like she got the gist of it. Now that she knew she was up against hundreds of enemies, though, she completely understood why she got the TM.<br/><br/>	“Yeah, that makes a lot of sense,” She agreed, “I could attack three hundred Pokemon at once that way if they were close enough. I think.” She didn't really know the limits on that sort of thing, but she was always more adept at being a fairy than being a psychic, so she had a degree of optimism. Dexter’s mentioning of the button on the back of the map caused her to almost instinctively reach for it before she tentatively withdrew it.

You know, just seeing him collapse and everything. Not as bad as now... the pain's starting to get to me, so do forgive a more stark tone from myself. Judgement's a very difficult attack to survive from after all.<br/><br/>Until I heard everyone began talking about Spruce, I was fairly distant and unaware what had really happened. I had the badge stuck under one of my magnets, ready to click and flash back to where Spruce and the others were. At the same time... the mission wasn't done yet. Mission, quest, goal, whatever. Just a point where we get an ending and resolution. I stuck around because there was something that needed to be done. I couldn't help Spruce, but I sure as hell could help everyone else. With that in mind, Reshiram turned his fuzzy white neck towards me, perhaps with contempt given what I asked earlier. It seemed awfully like contempt considering what I said earlier, but he didn't harbour any ill will or anything like that; he addressed me like a gentle giant, saying he couldn't just simply wish away the cold without provocation and retaliation. <br/><br/>""Alright."" I responded, prepared to say more if it weren't for Reshiram turning away from me. Maybe I was taking it too quickly. I looked on as Reshiram trudged through the snow, unaccustomed though not entirely unfamiliar with the climate. Anthony and Josh (the members of the other team) took solace in that the struggle was almost over, whilst everyone else... well, they just stood like icicles. It was horrible to think if they were either dead or trapped in an icy hell. Thankfully, those thoughts disappeared as I approached Anthony in the bitter air, marginally thicker than Reshiram's home climate.<br/><br/>""Hi... I don't think I've properly introduced myself (if at all, I can't quite remember)."" Whatever happened, I wasn't very approachable as I had hoped; I was talking to the wispy air if anything. Perhaps I was late, but I was just left with a rather pretty figure in the ice. ""Oh. Well, we'll get you out of there.""<br/><br/>Look, as awkward as that was, I was just trying to pay my respects at the time, what with the fighting earlier and the tough time my team was going through. It's getting harder to concentrate away from the fighting in the background, so... maybe that didn't happen. Alright, even though I've just admitted being rather unreliable narrator, I definitely know I've introduced myself as Miles to someone, perhaps the frozen lady even (Kiera if I remember correctly). I certainly remember it as ""my name's Miles Hall"" and possibly ""we've fought before.""<br/><br/>Alright, let's get past that. I followed the group towards a certain icy cave at the town's exterior. Let's just say it was quite haunting to pass through the interior, a flash freeze that everyone just had to be caught in. Things got quite exciting at the cave, though I didn't do much considering we had a legendary behind our backs. The only thing that seemed to deter us was the massive amount of ice around the cave, but basically trivial for some of us. Anthony suggested melting down the cave's walls, though I suspected that would've annoyed Kyreum...</div>"

""Just give up. With what you've already done, you're better off dead, anyways,"" I started to speak, but he interrupted me ""Your good deeds do NOT outweigh the various dungeons you've destroyed, and the pokemon you've doomed within them... and worse, you've halted my progress, and DOOMED the rest of the void pokemon to a similar fate,"" I tried to counter his argument, and he laughed, and seemed to respond before I could say anything with ""And what's your 'proof' that what you're doing is right, hm?

""You hear that, Celes? He's gonna wake up... eventually, at least,"" The nurse nodded at that as she left, and Spruce seemed a bit more comfortable, somehow. The guildmaster then walked up to me, and handed me some sort of envelope. I already knew what this was, an important mission that I couldn't ignore. I didn't even bother speaking to him, and instead spoke to Celes. ""Celes... when he wakes up, please, give him this,"" I then handed her a wooden badge, HIS wooden badge that he thought I lost a long time ago... just holding this type of badge reminded me of a time when I was just some weak pokemon with a crazy thought, but, this was his, not mine, and I explained ""He'll know what it means, but, please tell him that I never forgot... tell him that I would never forget my little bro,"" with that, I ran out of the guild, and quickly assembled a team from my recruits, and then ran as quickly as I could to the mission.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	The battle was over as soon as it had started, and I finally got myself off of the wall, only to see Reshiram shake his head, again, and say ""I'm sorry, but melting the ice walls would anger my brother, and I hope to speak with him, rather than fight him, if it's at all possible,"" I nodded in understanding and Reshiram seemed to speak to M, saying ""Miles Hall, hm? I recall a name like that coming up. Davis had said that was his friend's name. That was also the name of one of Davis' programmers, you know,"" he seemed to smile at that, but I had no idea what he was talking about. I tried to move forwards, and the ice seemed to have the same idea... the problem with that was that the ice basically flung me into the next wall, and into a fight with two rockruff, and one graveler. As I tried to get myself off of the wall, I got pelted with two rock throws, while the graveler decided to use rollout on Kamina. I would have gotten in the way of that attack, but I couldn't move very well in the ice, and I would have countered the rock throws, but, again, the ice limited my movement, this time... so, I settled with a warning ""Kamina! Watch out!"" I knew that the rock-type move would hurt him quite a bit, as gyrados were, for whatever reason, flying type pokemon.

I then finally asked them ""So, what do you guys think? I'm not really sure, myself...

Neither of them saw that coming, and they both took some serious damage from it... but, one of them still stood, somehow. I knew I wasn't that good at using those 'special' attacks, but this was ridiculous. Those were basic pokemon, and they didn't even seem that high leveled, either.

I would've left the group to watch over Spruce instead, but Josh suggested fighting Kyreum was likely going to be just as difficult as our previous fight against Reshiram. Even with Reshiram on us, the freezing of the whole town (and Reshiram's subsequent reluctance to undo the cold spell) demonstrated Kyreum's strength over his older sibling.<br/><br/>I seemed dazed around this time, almost as if I had my burdens lifted too quickly. That said, I still carried odd thoughts about Davis and a bunch of others, sometimes clouding my judgement at the worst of times. I was fairly exhausted from the fight earlier and only could only really nod towards Josh's suggestion for rest, somewhat unfocused to take on two... rather unfamiliar Pokemon.

A faint, spicy smell filled the air after a while, but Giratina didn't seem to smell, or otherwise notice it... however, he did notice me sniffing the air, which he taunted with ""Sniffing the air like a common dog? How... fitting for someone of your standing in the new world,"" I decided to ignore this taunt, and continued healing from my leech seed. I was feeling a bit more certain that this was just a dream, but, I still had a few doubts at this point. <span class=""bb-i"">Hm... his attack didn't hurt much, this time... and that smell wouldn't make any sense if this was a dream... and, I guess if it was, it would make sense for him to do things like read my mind, or attack multiple times in quick succession... without using moves like fury attack.</span> I thought as Giratina just floated there... once I finished that thought, however, he shook his head, and responded with ""I'm glad I put you so low in my ranks... you seem to still think this is a dream, even after my demonstration, and even after feeling pain in this so-called dream,""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	With the enemies defeated, everyone seemed exhausted. Miles muttered something about this being 'over' someday, and I carefully made my way over to him, just to say ""Yeah, I hear ya, buddy... but, we have to at least try to make that happen, right? It doesn't seem like anyone else is trying to strive for this... right?"" I didn't really know what I was saying at that point, and Josh suggested rest, and I responded by nodding, tiredly, and just passing out... of course, I could overhear Reshiram saying something about him keeping us safe with his fire, or something like that. That being said, there shouldn't be too many more pokemon trying to attack us, now that we have a legendary pokemon on our side. The ice was cold, and hard, and despite it being the worst 'bed' I've ever slept in, I still tried to find a way to actually fall asleep, here. I had get to sleep at some point, as tomorrow, we were going to face off against Kyurem... a pokemon who could probably knock me out in one attack if I'm not careful, or if I'm even slower than usual. I muttered, and tossed, and turned as I tried to find even the most remote possibility of comfort, here, and eventually, some of my body seemed to just freeze to the ice. With that, I finally started losing consciousness, though, whether I was sleeping, or just frozen... well, I'll find out tomorrow when and if they thaw me out.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Dexter didn't seem to like the idea of having that bronzor join us, and honestly, I could see his point, that he'd slow us down, even if he wasn't going to betray us, but, I found Rebecca's point about us having survived far worse things than a simple betrayal from a weak friend, or just having to watch over said friend, but, it was agreed that we should probably get some sleep, with the argument being that the dark types were most likely nocturnal, so they'd have an advantage against us during the nighttime. I simply nodded, and headed towards our team's room, not wanting to argue against two of my teammates, when I could just sleep in a relatively warm bed. Once we got there, I said ""Well, at least today wasn't a TOTAL waste, right? We got the information we'll need for our next mission, and a map that should get us there... and this time, I'm positive that this mission cannot and will not be stolen,"" it seemed like someone was listening in on us, but, I didn't know or care who they might be. If they were the thieves, then something told me simply waking up early should be enough to deter them from stealing our mission, and if it was Archie, or Arnold, then at least they'll know why we won't be there, tomorrow... and might help us if things don't go as planned, for some reason.</div>"

In a brief moment of clarity; Kamina remembered Anthony was more susceptible to the cold than others due to his typing. Kamina approached him and coiled his body around his tiny dragon friend, in hopes that his body heat would keep him warm. With nothing else to do, Kamina drifted off to sleep. ""Today sure was fun.

It seemed to be quite early as well. She decided not to go back to sleep, and left the room to grab some breakfast. She didn’t try to evade the current strategic conundrum she had on her hands, either, letting it occupy her while she grabbed whatever seemed appealing. They were no pushovers, especially for a new team, but three hundred pokemon? Even if their opponents were pushovers themselves, she wasn’t sure if she could fight for that long. There didn’t seem to be a more subtle approach, other than maybe pretending that they were supposed to be there before they smashed everything that looked important to them and teleporting away. Clearly they needed to go over this together, maybe get some more intel out of that Bronzor. She carried several plates’ worth of breakfast and drinks with her telekinesis and returned to the team’s room, offering them up to her team.<br/><br/>“Hey guys,” she said tentatively, “Do you need anything else? More sleep maybe? I’m sure Dexter can reheat our food if you want to sleep in for a while longer... There's a big day ahead of us, after all...” </div>"

At this point, 'Giratina' wasn't doing any damage to me, whatsoever, however, it seems that somehow, my healing from leech seed also stopped, as if to even that out. Due to the nature of this odd place, I couldn't tell whether it was daytime or nighttime. ""So, Spruce, do you admit defeat? Will you simply allow me to kill you?"" Giratina asked me. Odd, normally he would have just insisted that I admit defeat, and insisted that he should simply kill me, but, this time he actually asked. Certain that this was a dream, I replied with ""No, I won't. This can't be real. I know it's a dream. I don't know why I was feeling pain, before, but since that stopped, I'm certain that it's a dream,"" apparently, that wasn't the response Giratina was looking for, as he attacked, again... but, I didn't feel any pain, as usual at this point. ""Why do you not flinch?"" Giratina asked, as if he was puzzled by the fact that I didn't feel pain, and I responded with ""Easy, I know it's a dream, so nothing will hurt me,"" enraged, Giratina tried to attack me, yet again, but, just like last time, nothing happened. ""You realize that you're destroying your own world by collecting those crystals, right?"" Giratina asked me... he's been doing a lot of asking, lately, for some reason. ""Maybe for now, but I'm sure that will fix itself once we put them in their proper place,"" I responded, with Giratina rebutting with ""You TOOK them from their proper place! That's why your world is being destroyed!"" I simply ignored him, remembering the time that I tried to return the void crystal to its supposed proper place, and nothing happening.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	After a dream where a kirlia, of all things, spoke to me only to tell me that I'm doing a great job, and that the town should be unfrozen soon, I awoke in the icy cavern... on rock, rather than ice. I then noticed that the area around where we all slept was melted, and a wall of fire seemed to prevent any wild pokemon from wandering near us, and attacking us while we slept. Daniel woke up shortly after I did, and once he saw the wall of fire, he simply said ""Thank you, Reshiram,"" and he smiled towards the mass of white fluff off to my left. ""Good morning, Daniel,"" I said to him, still somewhat tired after waking up... then again, ice and or rock wasn't exactly the best thing to sleep on, so my tiredness could just be from a bad night's rest. Reshiram woke up after that, and he gave out a roar that was... probably just supposed to be a yawn. Once everyone else woke up, he lowered the wall of fire, letting us continue on. Oddly enough, the floor was actually dry, despite the ice having supposedly melted... maybe Reshiram also evaporated the water when he raised that wall of fire. I simply continued onward, finally being able to move for a while without slipping, and getting flung to the next wall... however, that traction didn't last, as the ice seemed to continue just outside of the flame wall, and, just as I thought, the moment I tried to move onto the ice, I slipped, and slid all the way to the wall, and next to a wild pokemon, this time, though, it was just a single rockruff.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	The morning seemed to come almost instantly, and I didn't even notice that I slept until Rebecca came into the room with breakfast plates. ""Did I sleep in...? I don't... normally sleep in..."" I tried my best to say while I was still drowsy. Rebecca then asked if we wanted some extra sleep, but then I noticed that she had some chesto berries, also known as 'substitute sleep' for some pokemon. I tried to grab one, but I messed up, and fell on my face, and fell asleep, again, after that. After waking up a second time, I finally had the energy to pick up the berry, and eat it, the berry instantly waking me up, as it usually does. The berry was oddly warm for having to sit on that plate for who knows how long, and its effects were apparent when I finally decided to answer Rebecca's question with ""NopeI'mfinelet'sgowhoneedsstrategyanyways!?"" and, in a rush, I ran out of the room, and towards the coffee shop where the bronzor was sitting, er, floating on the same seat as last night. He was also asleep... did he just fall asleep there, on that stool? If so, then why? ""Uh... sir?"" I asked him, the chesto berry's effects finally having worn off, somewhat. He responded by snoring, prompting me to try to shake him awake... that didn't go so well, as that had him, still asleep, use confusion on me, making the room spin around. At this time, I could make out the vague shapes of my other teammates, but I knew better than to try to talk while I was confused.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	After a good night's sleep, I woke up, happier than ever. I don't know why I was feeling so good that day, but that helped motivate me to get up early, and get the rest of the team's breakfast. Strangely enough, I was even first in line, and had to wait a little bit for the chef to wake up, and make a few meals. ""Up bright and early today, are we?"" the chef, a chimecho, nearly sung as he prepared the food. ""Yup, don't know why, but I feel like today's going to be a good day,"" I responded, with him laughing at that, for some reason, which he eventually explained ""The last time you said that, you nearly died on a mission involving a serial killer,"" well, that was true, but I still had a good feeling about today, so, I just let that slide, and even laughed at that as he served me the food. Surely the same thing wouldn't happen twice in a row, right? That would just be lazy, right? I ate my breakfast before any of the other pokemon were even waiting in line, and once I heard a certain loudred shouting at everyone to wake them up, I took the other meals, and ran to my team's room. I heard Tini mumbling about pies and pokemon getting attacked with the pastries, for some reason. <span class=""bb-i"">He must be having a strange dream for him to be mumbling about that stuff.</span> I thought as I placed the plates near my other teammates... and then Larry busted through the door, and shouted ""EVERYONE! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!"" just as he usually does in the morning. Thankfully, since I was awake, and saw him coming, I managed to cover my ears before he could do it, which helped, if only a little bit.</div>"

Eye rapidly flicking to every corner of the cave. The strange was that I didn't have a nightmare, so much as I had a dreamless sleep instead. I calmed down rather quickly as I lifted myself off the ice... well, slush actually. I had a right to be startled originally, because I thought that ring of fire meant we were caught in Arceus' underworld domain. Daniel seemed to thank Reshiram rather calmly as if it was a regular occurrence, Anthony apparently stirring awake as well to his greeting. Reshiram boomed in his sleep (no surprises there) as I spied on the wall of fire, crackling and snapping beyond my eye as if there were an invisible well of tinder.<br/><br/>I looked back towards the group, no longer entranced by sleep as the heatwave of the fire suddenly passed away. I was a little more than impressed at the legendary's abilities, silently commanding flames to his whim (in Kyreum's own den of places). ""Hopefully that wall of fire doesn't annoy Kyreum too much."" I scoffed, somewhat sarcastic in my tone as I looked beyond the narrow corridors of the cave. A few dark shapes was enough to raise an eyelid as Anthony moved forwards, unimpeded by danger and supported by non-slippery dirt.<br/><br/>Of course, that led to the gag of Anthony slipping on the dangerously slick ice. My expression became more alarmed as it turned out he fell and slipped all the way to one of the dark shapes; a lone Rockruff in the dim lighting. ""My goodness.""

By the time he woke up, though, that wasn't the case. There was a wall of fire surrounding them as well, to keep the wild Pokemon at bay. This was all Reshiram's doing, to make sure they were well rested and prepared for whatever happens when they reach Kyurem. After hearing what Miles said about melting the ice, Josh was somewhat concerned. Hopefully the diplomatic route was still possible. They got lucky during that last fight, and even though they had Reshiram on their side now, Kyurem probably wouldn't go down easily.<br/><br/>   After everyone else woke up, Reshiram lowered the fire wall so they could proceed. They were almost instantly thrown into a fight after Anthony slid across the room again. It was only one Rockruff, so it was nothing they couldn't handle.

It's too early in the morning for this shit."" Dexter said, though Nina was well out of earshot by that point. He let out a long sigh, and took one of the Chesto berries that Rebecca offered them. ""Guess I got no choice but to wake up now. Come on. Let's follow her.""<br/><br/>   As Dexter entered the cafe, he was greeted by the sight of their ""client"" attacking one of his teammates.

She woke up, ate just a bit, and then waited near Spruce bed, hoping for the best right now.<br/>""Please Spruce... do wake up... please be ok."" she says. She just didn't know what else she could do. At least he was still alive. At least he seemed, at least for her, to be in a better shape then before. She think a bit. If only she had psychic powers for this. She could possibly try to check his mind and figure out what was going on... but as she remembered... the only psychic move that was really useful for her was psyshock... which she wasn't sure was useful here at all. It might just hurt Spruce... which was really REALLY not what she wanted. She just stood there, thinking. She could always try to find it though to use it in battle... and it would end up useful against poison types that would try to attack her... but if she did that, she would lose her hidden ability power probably, and considering what she saw about it being ground type, that would make her in trouble against steel and poison types. So she was in an impasse here. Although.. psyshock would give her a mean to do physical damage of people instead of usual special. It was lot to think about. She just looked at Spruce. She decided to stay as she was right now. If she ever wants to learn it, it would be later on... but not now. <br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion woke up the next morning by Larry yelling.

I’m technically still the leader here, you know!” Nina was clearly out of earshot, though. Whatever, she could totally work with this... probably... She sighed along with Dexter, their annoyance cutting through the momentary silence in the room. He suggested following Nina.<br/><br/>	“Sounds like a plan.” She agreed. They entered the cafe. It was early enough that the shop was pretty much empty except for Nina and that Bronzor. Who, as it happened, seemed to be using Confusion on her friend. Dexter was quick to act, making sure to get behind Nina’s assailant before he could cause any more harm. Rebecca was pretty mad, but she couldn’t say she was completely convinced that attacking them here would have been a good idea.<br/><br/>	“Hey Dexter,” Rebecca said. “Don’t rough him up too much. We can’t grill him for information if you melt him down, okay?” If he wanted to attack them, why not do it at his base, with all of his buddies to help him out?

I made a mad dash for what seemed like a rip in the universe, knowing that Giratina couldn't do any damage to me as I did so, and I somehow found myself on a somewhat tough hospital bed, my vision blurry, I could make out the colors white and pink. ""Celes...?"" I called out to the shape forming in front of me. Once I could see that it was, indeed, Celes, I got up, and asked ""Was that... all a dream? Did we even fight Reshiram? Did we team up with Anthony?"" of course, once she got close enough, I tried to hug her, still recovering from what just happened. ""Celes... I don't know what happened back there, but thank you for not leaving me alone,"" I didn't know what else to say to her, though I did notice an oddly familiar wooden badge in one of her ribbons. The doctor finally came in, and she seemed... somewhat happy, maybe? ""Oh... good... you've... made... a... recovery... but... you... still... need... more... rest..."" she explained extremely slowly, which was annoying to me. I tried my best to hide my annoyance with that, and she left the room... apparently, I didn't need rest badly enough that I couldn't take on a mission of some sort.

I hope my brother won't be too mad at us for that wall of flame, as well,"" surely, Reshiram knew that Miles was being sarcastic, right? Either way, continuing on lead us to a slope downwards. I tried my best not to slip on the ice, again, but, unfortunately, I had little to no traction on this stuff, and I slid all the way down as if it were a slide, or something. Daniel just flew alongside me, probably just making sure I don't hurt myself, and it seemed like Reshiram was having some trouble with the lower ceiling around the slope, but he made sure to let everyone else go in ahead of him, just in case he couldn't follow us. The other side of the slope seemed to present us with an icy maze, of sorts... the ice was also clear, and reflective, making it even harder to figure things out... and worse, I could see some shadows just beyond the first turns, or at least, where I thought the first turns were. ""Hm..."" I seemed to wonder out loud, before finally coming to the conclusion of ""Maybe we should try to see if we can get Reshiram through here... I'd rather not have to deal with a maze of mirrors, and invisible walls, especially if one of us is capable of melting the maze,"" I then looked back to see Reshiram still struggling... I suppose a larger size has some disadvantages.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	After a short while, I came to my senses, just to see Dexter attacking our sleeping client. ""Dexter! Rebecca! That attack was my fault, I should have known better than to try to shake a psychic type awake,"" I then tried to have our client talk, and even though he took an ember to his back, he simply muttered ""Mister Badguy couldn't have possibly been in that room, and these mints prove nothing... stop wasting the court's time... I find the defendant guilty..."" he... he was still asleep after that. After getting shaken, and taking a super-effective attack. ""Rebecca... you wouldn't happen to have enough extra money for a double-chesto coffee would you? Or... failing that, some smelling salts, perhaps?"" I then wondered if they actually heard what I said, but unfortunately, I couldn't quite recall what I said, myself. The bronzor just floated there, almost completely unresponsive to the world around him, and I really have to wonder why he decided to just fall asleep in the cafe, of all places. Surely he didn't live here, right? I then had to wonder what, exactly COULD get a response out of him, and pictured a few humorous events that he could probably sleep through. <span class=""bb-i"">With how this guy sleeps, the entire cafe could be on fire, and he'd just sleep through it, waking up in a broken building, wondering what the heck happened...</span> was among the situations I thought of while he slept there, muttering about some sort of court case involving a washing machine, somehow.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Once Larry came in and shouted everyone awake, I heart Tini say something about 'almost having him', and I asked ""Were you dreaming about fishing, Tini?"" of course, that only assumed that anyone on this planet could understand Tini's dreams. Eralion seemed to mumble and grumble a bit about Larry's yelling, to which I responded with ""Well, it's kind of his job to be loud... that being said, I wouldn't mind if he didn't yell at us every morning,"" he then said good morning to me, and I added ""And a good morning to both of you, of course,"" with my unusual happiness and pep. With that same pep, I decided to check out the job board for anything remotely interesting, and I found, on the outlaw board, an all too familiar gallade. Last time one of us saw him, he was with my father... this... couldn't be good. The mission statement read...<br/><br/>	'WANTED: Unknown Gallade <br/>	(Insert picture here)<br/>	Location: Mt. Pinnacle<br/>	Bounty: 4,000 poke<br/>	Reason: Has been suspected of kidnapping, torture, and possible murder.'<br/><br/>This was a bit of a departure from the usual two-bit con men, or petty criminals that were usually on the board, and his crimes seemed to fit the brief and not very detailed description of his actions in my father's temporary house. I hesitated for a moment before picking it up, just to make sure that nobody else would go there, and try to take on this mission.</div>"

Anthony proposed that they have Reshiram melt the ice, a plan that Josh wasn't a huge fan of. ""Hold on a second, Anthony. We're still trying to solve this without getting into a fight. We don't want to anger Kyurem more than we already have.""<br/><br/>   Josh noticed that Reshiram was having some trouble getting through this part of the cave. It was quite narrow for someone of Reshiram's size, and getting him through this maze wouldn't exactly be a cakewalk. Melting the ice may be their only option. Of course, they wouldn't know that for sure unless they tried getting through without it. ""Let's try to get Reshiram through here first.

I peered down at the slope Anthony was stuck on (or rather slipped), watching at another opening across the slope that seemed to lead to a place of mirrors and turns. It seemed Kyreum's domain became more hostile and dangerous the deeper we went, with Reshiram struggling to duck under short ceilings and icicle stalactites.<br/><br/>I hovered down the slope, a coating of frost wavering around my magnets. It also seemed to seal any remaining scars shut, most of them apparently wished away by my evolution. Whilst waiting for Reshiram to follow through, I began to chat and converse with the other party's members. ""Can I ask what you guys been up to since we last met?"" I inquired, eye on Anthony as we idled briefly. However, I quickly jumped at the sounds of rapid steam and fires, swiftly turning to Kamina as my surprise turned to relief.<br/><br/>""K-Kamina?

She talked about how she was worried that she'd never see me again to which I responded with ""I was worried, too... I was in the void world, again, and fighting Giratina, himself... I'm really glad that was just a dream,"" she then said that we were doing the right thing, and, while I still had my doubts, I knew that Celes would never intentionally do the wrong thing... ever. ""Hearing that from you... it really comforts me. I'll put my faith that you know that we're doing the right thing, here,"" I smiled at her, and noticed that she was carrying a weird, wooden badge. ""Celes... what's that badge for? It looks familiar, but... I can't quite remember why,"" I was fixated on the badge after I found it, and I tried to remember who or what would have badges like that... faint memories of my early childhood flashed by, but I still couldn't quite figure it out. Just as well, I also felt nostalgic about it for some reason... maybe it was just the fact that it used wood instead of metal, which would imply that it was a much simpler badge with... probably far fewer features in it... and the pin was glued on with a chewed up gummi which has long since lost its color. The name on the badge was somehow worn away, making it impossible for me to figure out whose badge it was just from looking at it.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Suggestions were being thrown around, and it was deemed a bad idea to have Reshiram melt the place, again, but I really didn't want to get lost in this kind of place.

Why didn't anyone tell me!?</span> I thought as I moved slightly and carefully, again. I then came up with an obvious idea ""Hey, how about we try to solve this maze, and I'll use this slime to mark where we've been so we don't get lost as easily?"" of course, it was still probably not going to be easy to just solve the maze, otherwise, it probably wouldn't be here, right? I then waited for the group's response to this idea, and tried to make sure I was behind everyone... which, given that I'm not very fast, was actually pretty easy. The mirrors seemed to show a goodra, which seemed to be heading our way. ""Uh-oh..."" I ended up saying, which only seemed to alert the goodra to our presence. Said goodra started wandering around in the maze until it finally found our group, after which, the goodra immediately attacked, starting off with a power whip attack aimed right at Kamina... apparently, they weren't too familiar with Kamina, since, given his extra type, that probably wouldn't do too much to him.

I'm sorry you had to see me like this, but, yes, ever since the organization cut my pay, I've had to live here... and sleep on that chair. Honestly, I'm just glad I can levitate. Is it tomorrow, already?"" I decided to respond with ""Yeah, it has been for a while, now, so, are you going to come with us, or not?"" he just nodded and started floating alongside us, saying ""I'm so excited to finally be helping a real rescue team... or are you an exploration team? Aw, who cares, apparently there's enough overlap that the two terms are interchangeable around here,"" he couldn't seem to stand... er... float still, either, which made me less enthusiastic about letting him tag along. <span class=""bb-i"">I hope he's not going to act like some sort of fan boy, or something... and I really hope he doesn't get in our way, too much.</span> I thought as I waited for the rest of the team to start moving, after all, Rebecca was still the leader, right?

I'm sure they were seeing just the usual springtime weather, with flying type pokemon chirping, and krickitune occasionally chiming in, as well, but to me, it was a worn, grey path that seemed to lead to my inevitable doom. <span class=""bb-i"">They're just joking around, as they usually do... I have to say something.</span> I thought as I tried to gather up enough strength to speak... it didn't work, and I ended up thinking <span class=""bb-i"">Why can't I speak? I have to warn them about this!</span> of course... I still couldn't, at least, not until we reached the base of the mountain we were supposed to be climbing. Once we got there, I ended up shouting ""WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! THIS GALLADE'S GOING TO KILL US!"" I didn't know why I shouted, rather than just talk to them, but at least that was better than saying nothing, right?

Somehow, it was still in good condition, too, and given how long Vine must have had it for... not to mention the fact that he actually kept the badge after I tossed it to the ground in rage... I was mad at him because he never let me go on any missions with the rest of the team, always assigning me to 'hold down the fort', which involved doing pretty much nothing. At the time, I thought he didn't really care about me, that he didn't want me going on the more exciting missions. Celes then asked if I was hungry, and, after what I thought was a brief reminiscence of before rescue or exploration teams were even an organized thing, I nodded, saying ""Yeah, some food sounds real good right now,"" I then put the badge where it belonged, pinned to my explorer's pack, and next to the newer badge. Sure, it didn't have the same functions as a real badge did, but I guess looking at it would always bring back that nostalgic feeling of exploring with my big brother in a world I didn't know much about. Celes then asked if she could make some soup, but, I've never really been to this so-called cafe that was supposedly right next to the guild, so I answered with ""Why don't we stop by the cafe? I don't think I've ever been there, before,"" at that, I headed towards the cafe, confident that Celes would follow me... however, before I could go in, I noticed yet another team of explorers, this one consisting of a bronzor, a ralts, a female nidoran, and a growlithe... odd... that growlithe almost seemed familiar, some 'lone wolf' who didn't want to be a part of a whole team, but the rest... not so much. Since I figured we were all members of the same guild, I simply asked ""So... what are you guys doing, right now?"" that question seemed to shock the nidoran, and the others didn't seem ready to answer, either.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	In what seemed like only a few moments, a flaming mass of scales and teeth slid past me, and pinned the goodra to the wall. Once I could get some time to think, I figured out that the 'mass' was, in fact, Kamina, using his flame charge move against our enemy, not to deal damage, but to more or less disable him. Josh floated by a bit later, and started lobbing sludge bombs at the enemy, which seemed to eventually poison them, while M tried his best to get a clear shot at him... not an easy task with Kamina pinning him to a wall. As soon as I could, I made my way over there, slipping on the icy floor, as usual, but, at least, this time, the enemy was next to the nearest wall, so after that, all I had to do was attack, and I did so with another dragon breath, aimed right for the goodra... since it couldn't move, it was pretty easy to hit the thing, and somehow, I feel as if that SHOULD have paralyzed the goodra, but didn't. Either way, the goodra continued flailing around, pinned to the wall, and eventually using power whip, again, this time, aimed at anyone who was nearby, which meant myself, M, and Kamina... though, it didn't actually do all that much to me, and I could tell that Kamina barely felt it, I couldn't say anything about M... even if his typing would suggest that the move would do as much, if not less than what it did to me. Finally, after all that, I manged to congratulate Kamina with ""Good job pinning him to the wall, really made this fight easier,""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	I managed to hold in a laugh at Dexter's reaction to our client waking up, since the whole scene was just too funny, and Rebecca informed the apparently homeless bronzor about the rescue and or exploration business, and she seemed to be right about everything. I didn't realize just how good I had it until she explained everything to him. He responded with ""Well, yes, I suppose I could look into it, after all, I probably won't have a job once we're done here,"" and, after I said ""We should probably stock up... my bag's looking real empty,"" we all left the cafe, only to run into a grey colored snivy. I tried to ignore him, but apparently, he was just more than ready to stick his giant nose where it doesn't belong, and he pried by asking ""So... what are you guys doing, right now?"" and... I almost froze up at that. I had no idea how to respond to it. We were on some sort of secret mission, so I couldn't really say anything, and, not only that, but our mission was stolen by some other group not too long ago... that group was pretty high-ranking, and he seemed to have a gold-rank badge, as well... maybe he was in league with them? That was just about when I noticed the bronzor apparently just about ready to speak, ready to spill the beans about this whole thing. ""S-someone shut him up,"" I muttered to the group, hoping at least someone would hear me, and know that I meant to shut up the bronzor, not the snivy.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini's hug, and Eralion's encouragement, I calmed down a bit, and agreed ""Yeah... I guess we are stronger than we used to be... and I guess we could take him on. There are three of us, and only one of him,"" after that, I heard some rustling in the bushes, and turned my attention towards them. ""Someone's here, already,"" I pointed out to my team. Sure, Eralion could probably hear the rustling, but Tini didn't really have ears, let alone big ones, like mine. I hesitated before entering the cave ahead of us, and I head the bushes, again... something was going to try to ambush us. Once everyone was in the cave, a riolu jumped out of the bushes, only to pull a lever, closing the door behind us. ""Well, I guess there's no going back now, huh...?"" I asked. I tried to make that sound like I was joking, and happy... but truth was, it only served to cement the idea that this place would be my doom even more. The fact that the place was dark, save for a message reading 'The power of mint will light the way' didn't help things, either. Sure, the message seemed kinda funny, if not just plain weird, but even now, I could hear something approaching... something heavy. ""Whatever this is, we... we should figure it out fast. I don't want this... thing to catch up to us!"" I ended up shouting by mistake... and once I did, the footsteps seemed to start heading in our direction... seems like I messed everything up, again.</div>"

However, the Goodra wasn't waiting patiently; I had my doubtful scenarios slapped out of me, my magnet instinctively raised and blocking much of his power as it went around many of us. It definitely stung afterwards and almost knocked me out of air though.<br/><br/>When my vision cleared up, the Goodra was clearly slumped against the icy walls, still rearing to go besides its poison and fire marks on its skin. Anthony seemed to cheer a little early as I ensured we'd get to saving the town quickly. ""Just let us through this damn place."" A quick flash of yellow followed as I pointed at the Goodra, letting out a bright thunderbolt that cracked at ears and struck the Goodra down with its force.<br/><br/>After that, it was mostly silence and talking amongst ourselves, alongside some heavy breathing. I looked to the others, Kamina explaining there was still an issue with how Reshiram was getting through. We'd likely have to get creative... or bad news, we'd have to fight Kyreum ourselves.

It's super-secret, and the mission was given to us by that secret exploration society!"" somehow, that seemed to convince the snivy, despite the fact that I couldn't remember what that secret society's name was, or even if it was an exploration society, or a rescue society. After he started to leave, I remembered something about there being 'more than 300 pokemon' in the organization we'll be fighting, and the snivy's rank popped up in my head, again. <span class=""bb-i"">Someone like him HAS to have fought countless wild pokemon by now... right?</span> I thought as I walked over to the snivy, who seemed to be heading into the cafe.

I shouldn't have shouted that, and why DID I shout that? What would fairy wind even do in this situation?

""You want to use my poison as a lubricant?"" Sure, it could work. Kamina almost certainly had enough power to push Reshiram out after the resistance was gone. The only problem was the possibility of poisoning him. Any open wound, even the tiniest scratch, would let the poison into Reshiram's bloodstream. ""There has to be a better way to do this. Hold on, let me think."" Josh began going through all of the possibilities in his head. Leaving Reshiram behind wasn't an option. Melting the ice would anger Kyurem.

""I guess we don't have any other choice, do we?""<br/><br/>   Josh aimed for the top of the archway Reshiram was trapped in.

Of course, the growlithe on their team seemed to be less than happy about this, and he tried to storm off to the cafe, complaining about them recruiting complete strangers... of course, I knew that I wasn't going to do anything to them, that is, unless this whole thing DID somehow turn out to be illegal, which I doubted it would, of course, even then, the plan wouldn't be to turn to the opposite side, I would simply leave the area with my badge, and refuse to fight if I learned that this mission wasn't legal. While Celes probably thought she was prying, it was true, we did kinda need to know a little bit about this mission, so, I simply asked ""Where, exactly, is this mission, anyways?"" to which, the nidoran answered ""Oh, it's in Crystal Chasm,"" <span class=""bb-i"">Crystal Chasm?

I dunno, the mirrors might reflect, so, after some thought, and the rest of the team continuing to help Reshiram, I asked ""So, M, do you think you could reflect a lightning attack so it'll hit as much of the maze as possible, except where we are, now?"" I knew it wouldn't do much, but it would still soften up the enemies, with them having already taken at least one attack, or, at least, the ones that weren't ground types. Either way, if it was possible for him to do that, then all the better to weak our enemies, right? I continued waiting as the team continued helping Reshiram, and once he was out, he coughed a few times, implying that he either got dust in his mouth, or that he ended up poisoned from our strategy, and he said ""Thank you all...

Instead of answering that, I turned my attention towards Dexter, who was heading into the cafe, and instead of yelling at him, like I thought I should, I said, in an oddly calm voice ""Our mission's not in the cafe. Let's just head to Crystal Chasm, alright?"" I then waited for Rebecca to start moving, something that the snivy didn't do, as he just walked off on his own, either bored of us, or tired of waiting. Before the sylveon had a chance to leave, I asked ""Wait, what's your name? If you're going to help us on this, we might as well learn your names, right?"" to which, I told her my name with a simple ""I'm Nina,"" I then heard some rustling in some nearby bushes, and some muttering about 'quick seeds', but whoever they were, they ran off before I could scold them... they were probably that same group that stole our last mission, too. I then headed over to Dexter, and whispered ""Keep a nose out, I just heard the thugs in those bushes..."" after that, I told Rebecca to ""Watch out, we got thieves running around,"" she probably knew what I meant, at least, I hoped so, but if she asks, I'll just tell her what I meant, plain and simple.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The room lit up the moment Tini used Fairy Wind for some... unexplained reason, and that 'huge' pokemon... was just a bunch of baby pokemon, and an onix, none of whom were really that tough, and most of whom just ran away at the sight of Eralion. ""Whew... that was less dangerous than I thought it would be,"" I admitted to everyone else as I continued down a hallway that led in a vaguely eastwards direction, as well as upwards, being a ramp. Before we could get to the next puzzle of this place, we encountered a hawlucha, as well as a medicham behind him. I couldn't see anything behind the medicham, but I figured that either Eralion or Tini would be better for facing off against the fighting bird, so I tried to swap places with whomever was directly behind me, hoping that it was Tini. Whomever it was, I gave them a simple pat on the back, and whispered ""Good luck,"" to them, knowing that I won't be much more help in a narrow hallway like this. After that was done, I waited, and tried to pay attention to any odd noises, or smells, though, I couldn't really hear much other than the battle... maybe we still had a long ways to go, as unfortunate as that was.</div>"

On top of that, any fight against Kyurem would be a one-sided beatdown if they didn't have Reshiram helping them.<br/><br/>   As they made their way through the maze, Josh could hear the footsteps of wild Pokemon all around them. It didn't sound like any of them were close, but then again, it was hard to tell. Anthony had a plan to knock out or severely weaken most of them by having M reflect an electric attack off of the mirrors. ""Mirrors reflect light, Anthony. Not electricity."" Josh pointed out.

I simply nodded at that, and looked behind me at the group, who seemed to be discussing something. Unfortunately, I didn't have Celes' ears, or a decent sense of hearing, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about. The nidoran took one step in the chasm, and used the button on the map immediately. Somehow, by some miracle, the entire cave seemed to shift, change, and move until it resembled the map that they were holding. <span class=""bb-i"">If... they have technology like that, why are we still getting lost in these dungeons!?</span> I thought as I saw the event unfold. Unsurprisingly, this also seemed to scare away most, if not all of the wild pokemon, and the few that weren't scared because of that seemed to be scared me just due to my rank. I wanted to say something, but I was stunned, both at the cave's natural beauty, and the whole 'button that can shift dungeons around' thing. ""Hey, wake up! We still kind of need you, our mission didn't really involve the wild pokemon!"" Apparently, that was the sound of the nidoran snapping me out of my stunned state, and I simply followed along, not really answering any questions that came up, and, soon enough, we found a somewhat odd looking bit of floor that made the bronzor write something in the center of the room, opening up a trap door that led... somewhere completely different.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	I nodded in agreement with Dexter on this one, we needed to get rid of that thieving team as soon as we could, and... honestly, I was hoping to track them down, myself since they stole our mission. They seemed fast, but not particularly strong. We finally made it to the cave, and I made sure that I was in the right position to use the map... and with a press of a button, the layout of the entire cave changed. It was quite a sight, too, as entire chunks of the cave seemed to just levitate around others to get into their new position, often leaving giant holes in the ground. Was... this was mystery dungeons did just to change their layout every time someone visits them? If so, then who, or what would have enough power to do that? The snivy seemed to be daydreaming after that, so, I took it upon myself to try to snap him out of it. ""Hey, wake up! We still kind of need you, our mission didn't really involve the wild pokemon!"" I also felt like he thought our mission would be even easier now that the wild pokemon were running away from us, but, no, they weren't even really a factor in this. I then unfurled the map, and walked in the path it described, eventually coming across an oddly empty room. ""Don't worry, I still know how to get in... unless they changed it, which they would probably do if they were smart..."" he start trailing off as he drew a strange symbol in the center of the room, which glowed with a pale green light for a few moments, and produced a trap door immediately afterwards. ""Looks like this is the place, let's go, everyone,"" I said as I jumped down into the trap door. The floor in the new place seemed to be made out of a painted, white metal making it look very clean, and feel VERY cold to the touch... that wasn't very pleasant to me, but I could probably handle it, so long as I don't freeze, or something.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini seemed to try to hug the hawlucha, and that... was not what I wanted him to do. ""Um... Tini? That fighting type is a bad guy, and he'll hurt us a lot if you don't use your power of fairyness to stop him, okay?"" I tried my best to explain things in a way he'd understand, but I'm not sure if I understood what I said, there. Eralion seemed to want to counter something, but the hawlucha couldn't quite move, let alone attack, with Tini around him. <span class=""bb-i"">If only I had a decent way to damage him... ugh.</span> I thought as I looked around for anything that might help us. That's when I found a stalactite hanging from the ceiling, right above the bird-wrestler... thing. ""Hold on, Eralion, I think I've got this one,"" I said as I focused, and tried to use a high jump kick on the stalactite, hoping to break it, and make it fall on the enemy, but, unfortunately, my kick wasn't strong enough to break it, but it did crack it, and thankfully, I was able to land gracefully back on the ground without damaging myself, at all. ""Er... maybe next time?"" I assured Eralion, who probably thought I was crazy for attacking the scenery instead of our opponent.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	""Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe I should read less comics,"" I replied to Josh informing me that mirrors don't work that way, even if it would be really helpful if they did. After that, I turned towards M, and asked ""Hey, M, do you have any of those moves? Flash cannon, or Mirror shot? Uh... M...?"" he didn't respond to me, Reshiram, OR Josh, and he just sort of floated there, sparks randomly coming out of him every now and then... that didn't seem right, at all. ""I believe he's malfunctioning..."" Reshiram reported to us, though, I had no idea what he meant by that, so I simply asked ""Malfunctioning?"" to which, he responded ""It means he's not working right... like if an elevator can't go up, or if your badge stops sending you back to the guild,"" that actually helped my confusion, and I just nodded and tried to continue on, making my way to the left wall of the maze, first, and going from there. On my way, however, a group consisting of a goodra, a graveler, and an oddly familiar-looking arcanine appeared. They blocked our way forward, and they all tried to attack me, the arcanine going for a simple bite, the goodra trying to use dragon pulse (thank goodness for the tough helmet), and the graveler opting to use magnitude, which shook the ground pretty well, and was probably on the higher end of the magnitude scale, unfortunately. I didn't see ANY of this coming, so I just took ALL that damage, and couldn't even counter any of it, much to my displeasure.</div>"

With a battle cry that sounded more like a squeak then a battle cry, he began blindly unleashing Fairy Winds. A few hit the Hawlucha directly, but some veered off course. One reached the roof, where it hit the very stalactite that Bonnie had kicked. Bonnie's attack had weakened it, but Tini's Fairy Wind sent it over the edge. The chunk of rock fell out of the sky, and right on top of the Hawlucha, knocking it out. ""Yay!"" Tini cheered.</div>"

I'm afraid I don't know I'll reach the end of my story, my perspective if you will... the moment I stop talking, flip open my eye and take the disc inside; it's got the complete knowledge of the old world.<br/><br/>For the time being, I got some more words to log. Some events to dictate and a story that must be passed on.<br/><br/>Back to where I was: Based on the testimony of those around me, I had 'malfunctioned' for several minutes. I remember prepping my magnets for a large voltage difference, gathering a large magnetic field around myself at some point. However, I didn't anticipate a short circuit which arced quite badly inside myself, stunning me briefly as the others directly tried to find the way out. That and someone mentioned a 'reflection of electricity', which was so nonsensical that by the time I recovered I had seized up again.<br/><br/>A bit of time passed, feeling like forever when you're essentially paralysed and begging to move in your head.

I stammered myself out of my deep freeze, twisting my magnets and whirring towards the commotion. Through icy currents and winds I spotted the group, several meters away behind various ice walls. At first I thought I would never get to the group in time, and hissed Anthony's name under my breath. Had I not done that though, I wouldn't have thought of Anthony's mind-numbing idea of reflection; I aimed myself at a particular point above the fighting, hoping the ceiling was plane enough for a proper reflection. Not one to think about collateral damage, I clunked my magnets together and widened them apart, creating a brightly intensified arc that cascaded into beams of light, almost like spears as they cascaded against the ceiling and quickly leered towards our enemies.</div>"

Josh's attention turned toward the Arcanine, who had landed next to him. It started to get up, clearly stunned by Kamina's charge. Before it got back on its feet, though, a powerful rush of water from Josh knocked it right back to the ground. He then noticed beams of light shining down from above, and after looking around for the source, saw M, though there was several ice walls between them. ""Guys? I think we left M behind."" Josh pointed out. He had no idea how none of them noticed that he got separated.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   Dexter jumped down the trapdoor, right behind Nina.

You'd better have a better plan than just running around and breaking shit."" There was another problem on Dexter's mind, too. None of these new people had ever told anyone what their names were.

Did they make this? Or was this some sort of old world contraption? She moved beside Nina and focused intently on every detail of this new environment. She watched as the Bronzor somehow drew a glowing symbol on the floor, that opened up into a previously unseen trap door. Well, that wasn’t really very mechanical. In fact, that was downright occult. Though that wasn’t really out of place, either, considering what they’d already run up against so far. She took a moment to record the symbol in her own sketchbook before putting it away and looking down into the trapdoor. Nina suggested that they all jump down it.<br/><br/>	“Well,” The Ralts said in agreement. “Leap before you think, I guess!” She jumped down the hole, holding back a hiss as she reacted to the cold metal floors. As she looked around, she realized that the decor somewhat reminded her of the bunker near her own home, though it was far from an exact match. It was far more foreboding, to start. She quietly hummed a Lucky Chant as she proceeded through the area, coating the ragtag team in that faint shielding aura. She got the feeling that they would need that extra bit of luck.<br/></div>"

I was trying to get a hold on the situation, and then I heard the arcanine shout ""BARRY! Why did you betray, Barry? Come back here, and let's rob the bank like old times!"" no... it couldn't be HIM, could it? After that, the arcanine tried to use extremespeed on Josh, but I somehow managed to get in the way, and use counter to send that back at the arcanine... also sending him to the ice wall. The graveler started rolling away, and then it decided to just use that as an attack, and aimed its rollout attack right towards Kamina. I had no way of getting there in time, so I had to just hope he could take the hit. The goodra looked around the group, but it couldn't find who it was looking for, so it just ended up using Power Whip on Reshiram... bad idea. Reshiram sent the thing flying with a dragon pulse, after that... and I never saw that goodra, again. ""Barry... have you ever met Mike? You should meet Mike, he's a cool guy, heheh... and he's an ICE type, too..."" the arcanine just sort of randomly said to Josh, apparently thinking that he was this 'Barry' he was talking about... after that, he added ""Oh, come on, Mike, my mom's not that fat,"" while talking... to the ice wall.

I tried to make something out of the darkness, and I saw two tiny red eyes staring back at me. Soon after that, I heard the unknown pokemon growl, and then the thing used dark pulse on me, dealing some damage. ""Okay, we're not alone here, folks, let's try to find our enemies... anyone got a light?"" I said to the rest of the group, which caused Nina to nudge Dexter. I couldn't wait too long, so I decided that my best bet was to use void whip at... whatever just hit me, but, since I couldn't see their body, they easily moved out of the way... and a couple more pairs of eyes appeared. ""So... did I overhear something about one of you working here until recently? First off... how? Second off... WHY!?"" I ended up saying. This place didn't look like it would make a good workplace, given that it's completely dark, and apparently the other employees were more than happy to just scare you and attack you without even asking who you are.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	As soon as the trap door closed, the place went dark, and we headed through a short hallway to the first room, which seemed to have a very dimly lit candle on a metal table as its only light source. Spruce complained about the lighting conditions, him being a grass type, he was probably used to being out in the sun, by now, and as he searched the edge of our vision, a couple oddly small red eyes, obviously belonging to an at least somewhat powerful pokemon appeared. The pokemon quickly responded to Spruce's presence by blasting him with a dark move. Once I heard him ask ""... anyone got a light?"" I nudged Dexter, and whispered ""That's your cue,"" to him. I then noticed a couple more pokemon seemingly appear from the nothingness, and Spruce tried to attack something he couldn't see to... obvious effect. I then remembered that <span class=""bb-b"">I</span> had a means of lighting this place up, at least for a bit, and I used Flash Tackle on the pokemon that attacked Spruce, revealing it to be a Hydreigon, and lighting the place up, for a bit. I'm not sure what pokemon the others saw, but I only had time to see that pokemon... who took a decent amount of damage from my attack, and then tried to grab me with its weird head hands.

Eralion had the idea to get in front of the psychic type, and the medicham laughed as it used high jump kick on him. I then thought about what moves MIGHT work on this thing... and Dizzy Punch seemed like the obvious answer at this point. I tried to head towards the enemy pokemon, but it was kind of in the middle of a move, so I just tried my best to hit it while it was in the air... unfortunately, I missed, and the move kept heading towards Eralion, who looked like he braced himself for the attack... for some reason. <span class=""bb-i"">Why would he be smiling? That attack's going to HURT, a LOT, too... I mean, it's still super effective against him, right?

Fortunately for him, though, Anthony managed to get in the way, successfully countering the attack and sending the Arcanine flying into a nearby wall. Though the insane ramblings lasted a few more seconds, they were quickly silenced when Kamina pinned the Arcanine to the wall.<br/><br/>   With the Arcanine under control, Josh turned towards the only enemy that remained - the Graveler. It began rolling, picking up momentum until it finally headed toward Kamina, who seemed to be too busy with the Arcanine to notice. Thinking quickly, Josh hit the Graveller head-on with a Hydro Pump. He was hoping to stop the Rollout in its tracks, or at the very least slow it down.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   The trapdoor slammed shut behind them, plunging the room into total darkness. They began to move forward, and as soon as they entered the next room, attacks started flying back and forth. Dexter couldn't tell exactly how many enemies were in there, but it was at least three. Spruce requested that someone light up the room, and Dexter felt Nina nudge him, whispering ""That's your cue.""<br/><br/>   ""I know, Nina. I'm not a fucking idiot."" Dexter growled under his breath. Facing towards the three pairs of glowing eyes, he took a deep breath and blew a continuous stream of flame towards them. He didn't really care whether or not he hit them. His main goal was just to reveal them, and let his teammates could take care of the rest. After stopping for a moment to take another breath, he did it again. He knew he couldn't keep doing this the entire time, though. He was already starting to feel a little light-headed. ""There's gotta be a better way of doing this. I want to kick some asses too, you know.""</div>"

For what felt like ages, the light beams scattered off the ceiling and blinded a couple of remaining Pokemon. It would've been an impressive display had my team struggled and I actually helped, instead of cursing myself repeatedly behind a series of ice walls. A lot of my time was spent watching the fighting through glassy ice, cutting corners to the nearest curvature, and accounting for various coefficients being changed through the zero temperatures of the place (Celsius anyway, not Fahrenheit). Of course ultimately you can't use your analytical ability to try to beat your limit of spatial dimensions and time between things, so I ended up drifting towards a curb-stomp battle. The dungeon Pokemon were as viciously beaten as I had been with a certain Zubat, which seemed to have a touch of irony. Not as thrashed as me right now, but at least I wasn't that Arcanine or Goodra on that day. One was still putting up a fight between rocking Pokemon and hard walls, the other became Newton's First and Second laws.</div>"

She remembered to use the TM earlier, right? She, uhhh…<br/><br/>She totally forgot to use the TM earlier. Right...<br/><br/>The Ralts cursed, took an attack that sent the small psychic sailing backwards, got up, cursed again, and dug around for a bit before she withdrew the disc from her bag and tried to figure out what she was looking at in the sparse, sporadic lighting. Was she supposed to put it in some sort of player? Was she supposed to read it in a really dramatic voice? Was she supposed to press it up against her forehead and just sort of psychically download it? Was she supposed to eat it? She quickly gave up and shoved the disc back in her bag. She used Disarming Voice, the magical soundwaves striking out even at what she couldn’t see herself. Dexter mentioned that there had to be some better way of lighting the place up. She completely agreed, distracting herself from her own failure by trying to think of a solution.<br/><br/>“Right!” Rebecca said, coming up with a plan before looking over to the Snivy. “Hey, Spruce, Right?

It shouldn't be that easy to freeze...</span> I thought as I looked at the battlefield. Things were certainly in our favor, their team had a missing goodra, a frozen graveler, and a pinned arcanine, while we haven't even been touched, yet. The arcanine, being the only one who can even remotely think about attacking, decided to try to bite Kamina, asking ""Hey, Kyle... why do you taste like fish? Aw, I don't care, I LOVE fish! ALL THE MORE REASON TO EAT YOU!"" He then laughed, and continued biting the gyrados who he saw as... one of his old friends, I'm assuming. I then made my way over to the arcanine, but I ended up slipping, and worse, I noticed the place grow colder for some reason... even through that, I managed to use muddy water on the arcanine, hitting a weakness, and hopefully freezing him... I couldn't tell, though, because I was too concerned with myself, given the temperature change.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	The place lit up for a bit, revealing that at least one of our attackers was a hydreigon. That revelation made Celes smile really wide before unleashing moonblast in that dragon's general direction. At first, I was uncertain that it hit, but then I heard something whining and something flying away from us, so, perhaps that was why. Shortly after that, Rebecca asked if I could create some twigs or vines to provide some light, and I responded with ""Happily, Rebecca,"" and did just that, creating vines using my vine whip move, but never actually using them to attack. After that, I took an attack from the shadows that I just couldn't quite place, and Nina seemed to use that flash tackle move, again, revealing an umbreon for just a brief moment, but missing said umbreon... somehow. <span class=""bb-i"">How did she miss? She's the only one who can see our enemies, right?</span> I thought as I backed away from the edge of the shadows, not wanting to take any more hits from unknown enemies. The candle kept burning, and continued providing our only light in this odd place... it almost looked like somewhere where pokemon would work, but who could, or would work in these conditions? I looked over to the strange bronzor who never gave me his name, and noticed that he was using iron defense for some reason... maybe he didn't have too many attacking options at the moment, given his typing, it wouldn't surprise me.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini seemed more than ready to hug me, and then he seemed to turn his attention towards Eralion just as he took the high jump kick in the face, and basically threw the offending pokemon into a wall with a counter attack. My jaw almost hit the floor with that, and I managed to say ""W-wow... that was... I mean, I know counter can be powerful, but THAT powerful?"" once Tini finally got off of me, I led the team further onward, to a part of the cave that seemed to lead outside. Apparently, we were higher up than I thought we were, since I could see quite a ways ahead from the ledge. I decided not to stay there for very long, and instead of getting some light and fresh air, I headed right back into the darkness of the cave... only for it to somehow close tight RIGHT behind me, cutting me off from the rest of my own team. I panicked, without them around, I was useless, and hopeless against whatever the dungeon decided to throw my way next, and to make things worse, I heard some sort of earthquake from outside. <span class=""bb-i"">No... th-they can't be... they didn't fall off, right? RIGHT!?</span> I thought as I tried my best to move the door, just so I could see, but... it was hopeless. I couldn't move it, and I couldn't break it, not even with a well-aimed jump kick. It took me a while before I actually got back up, and kept heading forward... hoping that I might see my friends, again if I do so.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	""Er... right, sorry about that, Dex,"" I quickly said in response to Dexter pointing out that he has a brain, too. I then overheard Rebecca asking if Spruce could do something about the lighting in the area... and heard something whine as it flew away from the battlefield. I didn't catch what made it do that, but clearly they were afraid of someone on our team. <span class=""bb-i"">Good, one less enemy to deal with.</span> I thought as I noticed something reach out from the shadows and attack Spruce. ""Oh, no you don't,"" I muttered as I used another flash tackle, rushing right through the shadows, and aiming right for an umbreon... though... I ended up hitting some sort of shield, instead, unfortunately. The shield knocked me back into the light, and I grumbled as I got back to my feet. ""Stupid... protect... hate that move..."" I commented through the grumbling. I then noticed a couple sets of eyes get closer to the light, probably just so they could keep attacking us, and I noticed Spruce fall back, a bit in response to that. <span class=""bb-i"">What to do, what to do...?</span> I thought as I looked around for anything that might help us. Sure, the vines that somehow appeared might be nice, but I wasn't sure if there was anything in the room that we might use against our enemies. Spruce then looked up for some reason, and I realized that I had no idea where our client was, and looked up, as well, just to see him using iron defense just so he could... maybe... take an attack or two. <span class=""bb-i"">Must be hard being a psychic type in a place like this...</span> I noted about that situation.</div>"

With him no longer applying pressure, Kamina was able to pull himself loose. Looking over at the source of the strange water, he saw a shivering Anthony.

""Fuck, he's gonna come back with more of 'em now.""<br/><br/>   There was nothing he could do about the one who escaped now. Besides, the other two were still in the fight.

As I floated towards the ruckus that seemed so very close to ending, Anthony narrowly slid past like some misplaced dancer on ice. I would've 'smirked' if it weren't for the increasingly cold current running through the cave, getting a bit annoyed as Anthony was just out of reach of my magnet. Not even a muttering Kyreum seemed able to break the cold spell, a seething glare which seemed stab right through the frozen Graveler (obviously not literally). I could probably do with sub-zero temperatures but the same couldn't be said to my other party members, and there was suddenly a renewed urgency which seemed to fade a bit since the village/town.<br/><br/>With that said, by the time I thought of an attack, we had two wild Pokemon left to lie belly first by each other's feet/floating bodies/whatever, much to my chargin. ""Alright, I know I'm late, but admittedly that was a rather anti-climactic fight."" I wasn't really talking or moaning to anyone in particular but I was still bemused at how easy the fight was, given I wasn't even needed for most of it. Considering only a small chunk of fish meat was missing and Anthony became a hockey puck, things were in fact pretty good. Well, aside from the light coating of frost, which distinctively stood out from the cave's natural ice slopes like some sort of moss. ""Are we... close, Kyreum? Surely that wasn't the elite guard.""

Josh asked Reshiram if this was Kyurem's doing, and he nodded, adding ""It shouldn't be too much farther, now, but... Miles is right, that wasn't his elite guard... far from it, they were just random pokemon lost in the maze,"" Once I felt warm enough, I asked Kamina ""Kamina... do you think you could help out Josh? He seems to be in pretty bad shape, too,"" I then heard Miles say something about this being an anti-climatic fight, and I nodded before finally moving forwards, again, and as I continued making my way through the maze, I saw another path that led upwards, though, thankfully, this one's entrance was big enough for Reshiram to fit through without him getting poisoned, and I thought about how much that may be hurting him, by now, and I recalled the fact that I couldn't help him, at all, given that I had no items at the moment.

The sneasel, on the other hand, seemed to try its best to get around the ring of flames that surrounded our party at the moment, but couldn't... they then tried to use some sort of ice move, but the fire evaporated the ice before it could do anything to us, or it. ""Thanks, Dex!"" I heard Nina respond before she just jumped over the flames to attack the sneasel with a double kick, dealing serious damage to the ice type, but not enough to knock it out. I then thought for a moment... and ended up using void whip, but, instead of making it appear from me, I made it appear next to the sneasel, and just finish it off, leaving just the umbreon.

The only move I really had that would do anything was Jump Kick, and I can't keep relying on that, since it has a nasty habit of damaging me when I miss, or, rather, WHEN I miss, since it was only a matter of time, at this point. The path forked after a bit, and I couldn't figure out which one might be the correct path, but, after a bit of thinking, I chose the left path. I was wrong, and was immediately greeted by some pokemon throwing a geodude at me. Thinking quickly, I decided to use Jump Kick on the geodude to try to send it flying back, and to my surprise, somehow, I actually hit it, and sent it flying backwards into a nearby throh, who was clearly the one who threw it at me in the first place. If he wasn't mad at me before, he sure was, now. The throh ran to me, rage in his eyes, and he tried to use one of his grappling techniques on me, but I jumped out of the way just in time, and started to run further down the path, hoping to find something to help me out.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	The flames lit up the entire room, and revealed two pokemon, a sneasel, and an umbreon, and I just remembered that I had double kick... sure, it was a weak move, but it was going to be REALLY effective against that ice type, who seemed to be desperately trying to attack us with some move or another, with the flames getting in the way, thankfully. After thanking Dex for the light, and the protective fire wall, I decided to show off a bit, and I jumped over the flames to use double kick on the surprised sneasel, who took a ton of damage from what seemed to me like rather simple kicks to the chest and face... but, unfortunately, it was still conscious. Spruce aimed to fix that by making a weird, grey vine appear from the ground and attack the sneasel, dealing at least enough damage to knock it out after being weakened. I watched as the umbreon used wish on... well, just itself, now, and decided to just jump back to our side of the flames, just to make it harder for the thing to attack me when it finally felt like attacking. Spruce then just said for us to move on, that the umbreon won't attack us, and I was going to point out that he could call for reinforcements, or something if we leave him alone, but a bright light surrounded me, and I found myself unable to speak as my body changed... even if only slightly.

She just move forwards, before seeing Nina evolve. She smiled softly at her.<br/>""Hey.. congratulation on evolving."" she says to her, before turning to the umbreon, thinking.

Alone like his times where he meditated and perfected his counter move... He just moved forwards right now, advancing steadily forwards, listening to his environment. The wind breezing near him with the fresh mountain air and the cold nip of this. He kept moving forwards before stopping, having heard some quick footsteps coming his way. He stood there before using counter rapidly and turning around, only to be hit hard by a sawk... who did not see the counter coming. Eralion gave the thing a creepy smile before punching him full force, actually launching him far backwards as Eralion breath deeply, taking a bit of time as the sawk seemed already beat up a bit from this. Both of them looked at each other, in battle position, but none of thme moved right now, having a standoff to see who would move first.. Both of them actually ready to counter the other right now. The sawk then moved rapidly and tried to use a karate chop on Eralion when the counter was off. Eralion took the hit, but then hit back with a large meteor mash it, making the sawk tumble down backwards before both of them rushed at each other, hitting each other with moves constantly before the sawk fell down and was KO with a well placed counter. Eralion then just stood there and breath deeply before sitting down and resting just a bit and then getting up. God that guy was tough.. and if there were more of them, this might be an issue.</div>"

And as far as he could tell, his new Flying Type didn't make the cold any more of a problem (although he never really went to any cold places before he evolved...so maybe it did make a difference). ""Just hang in there"" he told Josh, as he lightly coiled around him ""you're going to be just fine"" </div>"

We almost can't catch our breath anymore."" With a brief respite with Kamina giving a group hug for Anthony and the others - who were unfortunately weak to the bitter coldness and ice - eventually we'd have to move towards the darkening depths of the ice cave, out of the maze thankfully. As the ice lessened and the cave's features took prominence, ambient light which bounced internally and provided a decently bright glow seemed to dim in corners and pits of ice. The path seemed to take an subtly upwards turn, where stone protruded and disrupted the careful flow of ice, which look as if cascaded and frozen mid-air. Perhaps ominously the further ahead we saw, the more purple glow seemed to vein and tint the ice, almost as if we were stepping into an alien arctic. It didn't help there were several branching paths ahead of us and around the other exits of the maze, visible through the clear chiseled walls. None of them seemed very friendly to head into, most of them harshly dim and devoid of light, aside from the purple glow on the walls.<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Wait, flow... there's a pattern of flow in the ice, like a river. Why would would Kyreum go out of his way to make ice 'flow'? Wouldn't it look like simple blots?</span> It only just occurred to me that this cave might've had a freshwater system, and we just crossed through the former underground lake. A maddened legendary Pokemon wouldn't be patient enough to form walls of ice if he could just dig it out of a lake... In fact, it's likely Kyreum would've tried to freeze the largest deposit of water around here. An upwards path here must lead to wherever he's hiding, but all the branches seemed identical with their flash-frozen rivers. ""Hey, Josh, anyone?"" I shouted out for the rest of the party, Reshiram somewhat interested as he raised an eyebrow at me. ""This is silly, but can anyone... feel the largest amount of ice and the path we'd have to take? This entire cave might be an underground water system, and up ahead is a bunch of frozen rivers that might come from where Reshiram is residing. Well, assuming these rivers come from the largest lake..."" I was kinda going out on a limb though, tilting my head and resigning slightly. I was luckily unaffected by the ice but the same couldn't be said for say Reshiram and Josh, and so we'd have to try something at least.</div>"

The Ralts spun a full 360 degrees and struck a pose.<br/><br/>“DAZZLING GLEAM!” She cried, pointing forwards. Sparkles turned into a full-on flash of light that illuminated the area for a split second before fading again. Then Rebecca lost her balance, falling on her side. Maybe she still had to get the hang of this…<br/><br/>“Oh!” Rebecca said as she got up off the cold floor. “Nina! You evolved?! How’s it feel? I always wanted to do that!” wait... shouldn't Nina look taller now? Rebecca took a good look at herself... yeah, she was a Kirlia now. Which would probably be a lot cooler if she also didn't feel like an idiot.<br/><br/>""Wait,"" Rebecca said, red in the face.

It was a good thing he did, too. The cold temperatures were really starting to take their toll on him. ""Thanks, Kamina."" He said. He'd stopped shivering at this point, and he could talk without stuttering again. He had a feeling that it would only get colder as they got closer to Kyurem's lair, though. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to handle it, even with Kamina there to warm him up.<br/><br/>   Miles asked if anyone could sense the largest amount of ice in the cave. Josh hadn't noticed until now, but after Miles pointed it out, he could see patterns that suggested an underground river was there before the cave was frozen.

Dexter teased. ""I gotta get my paws on a Fire Stone sometime soon.

Spruce pointed out that staying there to fight him would be pointless. What he said didn't stop Celes, though. She described to the Umbreon in graphic detail what she'd do to him if he went for help, before blasting him into the wall hard enough to leave a crater. ""Okay, I don't think he's gonna fuck with us after that."" Dexter said. ""Besides, we've already got one guy running for help. They probably know we're here by now.""</div>"

""Miles... do you think you could lead us for a while? I mean, I don't have any idea where this might be, even though I'm looking right at this river, but you apparently know,"" I asked him, as I slid, quite literally, behind him, almost losing whatever balance I had in the process of just moving. I then looked around this place, Reshiram seemed to be busy eating something, hopefully, it was a pecha berry, and Kamina, who was helping someone warm up, still had a chunk of flesh just missing from where that insane arcanine bit him... I would have pointed that out, but I didn't feel like it would be a good idea to just tell him. I then looked down at the frozen water, and noticed the weird... purple veins in them. How didn't I notice that before? They were clearly visible, right? I shivered again, as another chill ran down my body, and I was reminded how my water moves literally turned to ice here... they've never done that before, have they? While I was looking around, I noticed a few apples just lying around on the ground, probably frozen, as well. <span class=""bb-i"">I am hungry, but... should I really do this? Just... eat an apple off of a dungeon floor? Maybe we're close enough to the end of this, and it won't matter... or... maybe we'll just starve before we get there...</span> I thought to myself, weighing my options involving the red fruit.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	I kept running down the path, but the only thing I found was another throh... wait, no, it was the same one. I muttered a swear under my breath and tried to find some way out of this... I then remembered something, these fighting types were usually male, right? The throh took a few steps towards me, and assumed some sort of fighting stance, probably expecting me to do the same, but I just used attract, instead, distracting him, and giving me just enough time to get away from him. <span class=""bb-i"">Whew... that was close, and, at least this time, if I get a letter from some random throh, I'll know why.</span> I thought as I made my way onward, only to find a chasm, with a path that continued on the other side... and with walls that had hearts etched into them for some reason. I stopped to try to figure out what they might want me to do... and then I heard someone approach. The lovestruck throh was still chasing after me for some reason, and before I could say anything, he picked me up, and just threw me across the chasm. I screamed the entire way there, and my mind raced with thoughts like <span class=""bb-i"">Wait, what? WHY!?</span> and <span class=""bb-i"">Why did he do that?</span> until I made it to the other side... only to hit my head on the opposite wall. I groaned as I got up, and I started limping along the only path available, right now.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	I was completely taken by surprise with this... just... evolution, from nowhere. Of course, Rebecca pointed it out, and she seemed to evolve, too. I would have said something about that, but she seems to have gotten it. Dexter then teased us about no longer being smaller than him, and I chuckled at that as we moved ahead. ""Huh... this place looks like one of those 'lab' things I heard about... apparently, humans used to them to understand the world, or something,"" Spruce chimed in as we moved along the narrow hallway that was in front of us, and our client responded with ""Yes, yes... our group was simply fascinated with the humans... apparently, they found a way to never become wild, if that makes sense. We actually built this place based off of a lab we saw in some jungle, somewhere,"" I was going to point out that nobody's ever seen a human, before, but I didn't want to burst anyone's bubble, so I just grumbled to myself about it. I then looked at the door... made of that same kind of white metal that was everywhere, and I tried to open it the same way I would any door, but it just didn't budge. I then looked towards the client, who knew this place, and he still seemed to be chatting to Spruce about labs, and humans. I had to clear my throat just to get his attention, and once I did, he asked ""Hm?"" I then looked at the door, and he said ""Ah, I see..."" He then took a weird-looking card, and fed it to a complex-looking machine, which gave his card back, and opened the door. ""The... humans loved doors like this, I promise,"" he said when he noted my annoyance with the door... his promise didn't change anything, so I just went through the door, annoyed.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	Things were going great in this weird, dark lab. We defeated a huge group of enemy pokemon, and two of our teammates evolved. ""Congrats, you two!"" I said to them, but... I wasn't sure if either of them actually heard me. I then took a close look, and remembered what Vine used to tell me about human buildings... that odd device on the wall to my left looked like how he described a 'computer', except for the fact that it was giant, and there seemed to be graphs and numbers on the wall opposite to it... of course, the graphs and numbers were almost completely burned thanks to our strategy. Once we moved on, it only started to look more and more like how Vine told me a lab looked. ""Huh... this place looks like one of those 'lab' things I heard about... apparently, humans used to them to understand the world, or something,"" I pointed out to the group, with the bronzor responding with ""Yes, yes... our group was simply fascinated with the humans... apparently, they found a way to never become wild, if that makes sense. We actually built this place based off of a lab we saw in some jungle, somewhere,"" that second part, about humans never becoming wild, caught my attention, and I asked ""Why do you think that is?"" the bronzor did his best imitation of a shrug, and said ""We were about to find out, but well... you know... I quit, and found out what they were REALLY up to, here,"" I simply had to ask what he meant by that, but we were interrupted by Nina clearing her throat... apparently, she couldn't get through the door, which prompted the bronzor to use what Vine told me was a 'card key' to open it. We then found ourselves in another dark room, except, this time, there seemed to be a table with chemicals on it... not something I want fire anywhere NEAR, all things considered.</div>"

Humans that used to be in places like these... labs. It was then that she heard the last part of what the bronzon said, about them not going wild at all. She just stood there a second thinking.<br/>""Maybe their minds were different then ours and they had something protecting them from being wild?"" she said, throwing a theory up right there as she moved forwards before the bronzon opened the door that was blocking their path with a strange card. She looked at it as the door opened.<br/>""I heard they loved technology a lot, but this..."" she says as she moves forwards, seeing also the vials of chemical, with all the metal all around. She just could not stop but give a shiver here. Those chemicals would probably be poisonous, and with all the metal around, she didn't feel that comfortable in this place, for good reasons.<br/>""I hope we can keep going."" she then said, moving forwards carefully.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion kept moving forwards, looking around the mountain, thinking a bit. How will he be able to find the others, that was one question that went in his mind. The problem he had right now was that he had no idea where exactly he was and where the others were. He moved forwards, before arriving at a large dead end, the road being broken where he was. He sighed, looking around a bit before looking back, not seeing any pokemons right now. Thank god for that. He then though a bit. Maybe he should deal with this in another way. He looked at the sharp slope to his right, thinking before having an idea and then using karate chop to make some slots for him as he goes and start climbing up. He kept doing that before climbing unto a ledge where he arrived face to face with a medicham...<br/>""Aww crap..."" he said before the pokemon suddenly used high jump kick... before Eralion grabbed the kick and moved it to the side... with the medicham just falling down the mountain right there. He stares at it fall as it then grabs onto a ledge further down.<br/>""You got to be kidding me."" Eralion then said before moving rapidly, going to escape and runnning. Unfortunately the medicham was quick and climbed fast. It then got to him... only for him to use counter right there and literally throwing the medicham back down the mountain, which it grabbed a ledge again. This was bad. Eralion couldn't keep going with counter.... so how would he be able to deal with that guy. Then he got an idea. As the medicham started to climb rapidly, Eralion used meteor mash onto the ground, making rocks start to fall onto the unfortunate medicham, who took a couple of rocks in the face before just giving up its chase before it ended up knocked out. Eralion just breath deeply afterwards, getting back his energy. If he ended up with another god dang pokemon in his face that tries to hit him hard, he might just grab the pokemon and literally throw it down the mountain with great strength.</div>"

Keeping this much solid mass frozen doesn't sound like it would be easy. I had just assumed that it was possible due to the powers of a Legendary...but if the rivers are the key, then that makes a lot more sense. I'd imagine that fresh water is a lot easier to freeze and keep frozen then, say, a rock. So freezing all the water and using it as a base to extend the cold from makes sense.""

He said.<br/><br/>   It was pretty odd, though. Why was there so much food this deep in the cave in the first place? At this point, Josh began to remember one of the rooms in Reshiram's tower. ""Hold on... Do you guys remember that stash of food we found yesterday, in that tower?"" He asked, looking around. He couldn't see anything of interest right now, but there could very well be a similar food storage further ahead. ""I think think this might've come from a similar room.

How would I have bought anything all the way from Allure Town!?"" I shout back.<br/>	""You tell me."" Danny turns away, feeling betrayed by one of his best customers. I open my mouth to argue, but think twice. I sigh and storm out of the store. Back in Scale City's main square, I place my unspent 1000 Poké back in the bag and look around for anywhere else to buy food. Amanda is standing over at her shop discussing various fabrics with a customer, but nothing she sells is edible. Chad and Terra's hotel offers breakfast alongside one of their insanely overpriced rooms. Denise's guild only feeds its own guild members... The thought of walking into the guild, let alone asking to join, is nerve racking enough for me. It's at this moment that I realize the genius of owning the only food store in the city.<br/><br/>	Scanning the buildings in town for a solution, my eyes fall onto a signpost. A signpost pointing me to one place I've been longing to go all my life. I walk over to it. 'Now leaving Scale City', it reads. ""But I can't just leave..."" I wonder, before looking back towards the town's busy centre. ""Can I...?"" Danny probably won't sell me anything for weeks, and Arceus knows I don't want to mooch off the food at my parents' house until then. All the maps I've memorized show towns nearby; towns that undoubtedly have different stores. The only thing that's really been stopping me from leaving is my own uncertainty...<br/><br/>	I look to the sky, which is dominated by the intimidating peak of Mount Dragoncoil. A flock of Staravia glide overhead as a lone cloud slowly floats by. <span class=""bb-i"">The sun is still just above the horizon...</span> I think to myself. <span class=""bb-i"">I might have just enough time to make it to another town and back before nightfall...</span> Returning to my house to gather the necessary items for the journey, I still can't believe I'm going through with it. Seriously, I must've gone insane from rotten berries or something. The remaining food from my house is wrapped in a blue scarf and gently placed into the bottom of my bag. In the bag's side pocket lay a sharp stick; one I make sure to never leave home without.<br/><br/>	Though this isn't the first time for me, stepping out of Scale City feels different now. The familiar warm breeze wafting up from Sunswept Plains... The sounds of bird Pokémon in the distance... It all feels so much more... real. As though I'm finally experiencing the world as it really is - as it's meant to be experienced. Despite my heart racing, I tell myself that I'll return after visiting another town and buying food. I tell myself this will only be for one day.<br/><br/>	Though deep down, I know that once I gets a taste for my sense of adventure, there’s no containing it.</div>"

Her eyes widened to the point where you could practically see the lightbulb above her head if you were looking hard enough.<br/><br/>“Ohhhhhhhh!” Rebecca realized. “That explains so much!

It’s strange seeing it from this perspective, given how I’ve lived so close to it all this time. I decide to sit down in the grass to enjoy a quick snack before moving on. Sitting my bag next to me, I unwrap an oran berry from the blue scarf inside my bag and begin munching on it. There’s a few seeds on the ground next to me that I pick up; I don't know what they do, but maybe they could be useful later on.<br/><br/>	A Caterpie, which was hiding in the grass just to my left, looks up at me. “Hi.” I say to it, not sure what it wants. The Caterpie takes a step closer without breaking eye contact. I scoot myself and my bag to the right, but the Caterpie takes another step closer. It stands there like an evil, unblinking statue. “I-... Uhh...” I say, not sure how to respond to this. “Okay, well... It was nice... talking to you...” I get up and put my bag back around my shoulder. The Caterpie’s eyes widen a bit, but it otherwise remains unmoving. I turn towards the south and continue on my way.<br/><br/>	A few moments later I look back to see the Caterpie in the exact same spot, still staring at me. I walk faster and try to ignore it. Curiosity gets the best of me as I glance back a few times. It’s still standing over there, staring into my soul. My speed-walk soon turns into a frantic run from what I’m sure can only be a demon in disguise. <span class=""bb-i"">Just don't look back... Don't look back...</span> Once I’m out of breath, I stop and let out a sigh of relief now that it’s nowhere to be seen.<br/><br/>	I look around for any sort of marker I can use to get a bearing on my location. <span class=""bb-i"">Mount Dragoncoil is over on the horizon there... The sun is rising in the east, so... The town must be this way!</span> It turns out that memorizing all those maps in my free time really paid off. Of course, I don’t know what the town is called... Or what it looks like... But it’ll probably be fine. Learning about that stuff beforehand would spoil the fun of discovery, anyway. The smell of grass is soon accompanied by a salty breeze as I walk, meaning the ocean must be nearby. Just as I’m about to see if it's visible from here, I stop dead in my tracks and a chill runs down my spine. There’s a Caterpie - THE Caterpie, right in front of me.<br/><br/>	It stares at me, unblinking. For the first time, I hear an unholy chittering sound emanate from its mouth. <span class=""bb-i"">Wait a second, that came from behind me...</span> Behind me is yet another Caterpie about five metres away, staring at me with its beady eyes. I turn back to the first, but now there’s two of them. There’s one over to my right - no, two - no, three. Wait, now there’s some on my left. <span class=""bb-i"">Every time I look away, there's more! Oh, Arceus...</span> I snatch the sharp stick out of my bag and get into a fighting stance, pointing it at the Caterpie surrounding me. “Stand back!"" I say with a shaky voice, ""I'm warning you! I've got a... a stick! And it's really pointy, too!” The Caterpie don’t respond.<br/><br/>	There’s a small gap between them up in front of me to the right a bit. If I’m very lucky... “Aaaaahhhhhh!” I yell while making a mad dash towards them. I hit one with a Tackle while whacking another upside the head with the pointy stick. I try to jump over a third, but instead land on my face after getting hit by a String Shot. <span class=""bb-i"">No, this can’t be happening... I haven’t been gone for two hours and I’m already going to get eaten by a bunch of Caterpie...</span><br/><br/>	Just as I’ve lost all hope of survival, my new savior comes down from above! I’ve never seen anything so beautiful in my life! A Pidgey swoops down at a few of the ferocious bug Pokémon and uses its talons to drop them in a tree. 'Run! I'll hold off these vicious creatures!' It seems to be saying to me. Well, either that, or it's hungry. It swoops down once again and brings another to its nest in the tree. I stand up and start running just in time as the Caterpie release their secret weapon. A horrible stench emanates from their antennae - surely with the ability to kill anything that breathes it in. I continue running, silently thanking the Pidgey for its heroic actions.</div>"

""Looks like we're surrounded, again... Dexter, may I suggest we don't use fire, this time? Those chemicals on the table might explode if fire gets near them, and nobody wants that, right?"" I warn as I try my best to try to see in the dark. Nina then used that weird tackle-like move, and lit up the area ahead, revealing the caged pokemon to be an oddly familiar-looking wigglytuff, though, something seemed off about him. I then heard Nina shout ""The guilmaster! H-how did they even GET him!?"" Oddly enough, the guildmaster that was overlooking both of the teams involved in this (at least, I assumed) wasn't the one who was taken, instead, the other one was... weird. One of the creatures in the darkness then opened the cage, and the next thing I heard was an oddly powerful Hyper Voice aimed right at me. I decided against saying anything due to the assumption that nobody would hear me, but Nina apparently didn't have that same assumption... not that I could hear her, of course. Before the deafening effects of the guildmaster's hyper voice could wear off, I ended up taking at least five more attacks from various, unknown sources... thankfully, however, the guildmaster decided to step into the light, unlike his dark and or dragon type companions, who stayed in the darkness. I then tried to use my vine whip against him, but it didn't seem to do much, and worse, he retaliated with a blizzard against everyone, nearly freezing me to the ground with that move.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Spruce explained that we shouldn't use our fire strategy, this time, and I gave him a thumbs up before using flash tackle on what was revealed to be a scrafty, lighting up the area, and also revealing a cage with a snarling, angry wigglytuff in it. I immediately recognized him from the guild, and blurted out ""The guilmaster! H-how did they even GET him!?"" before something decided to let him out of his cage, and have him just SHOUT at us. It was absolutely deafening, and I was almost knocked back from it. I then muttered, probably to myself ""Ugh... hyper voice is the WORST..."" while in my daze, I ended up taking an attack that was thrown at me, while Spruce apparently took five of them. The guildmaster then decided to get closer, and Spruce made the mistake of trying to attack him. He immediately made the entire room freezing cold with a blizzard after that, and then I overheard the bronzor saying something about finally being useful before floating up to the guildmaster, and using gyro ball on him, actually dealing some pretty good damage, too. The guildmaster then used dazzling gleam on everyone in the room, but, neither myself, Dexter, or our client were too effected by it. I then figured I could be of some use before trying to remember exactly what kind of poison moves I had, if any... and I only had a poison sting that I almost never used, before this. Hoping that I'd poison, I headed over to the guildmaster, and tried to use it, against him. Despite the move being super-effective, he barely even felt it, and it didn't seem to have any lasting effects, either.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Miles begrudgingly agreed to lead us to where he thought Kyurem might be, and after holding out for a bit longer thanks to Josh's suggestion, we found ourselves heading down another slope, and into a large, seemingly empty room. I smiled at what I thought was a brief respite from this place, and once I took a step, I heard... something from above. Surprised, I took a step back, and looked up, only to see a few froslass, and about five glalie... of course, there was also an abomasnow somewhere around here since it just started to hail for no reason. The eight pokemon I could see all decided to lower themselves to ground level to fight. ""You will not disturb master Kyurem's rest,"" one of the frosslass said before using ice beam on me, dealing... FAR more damage than it had any right to, with the glalie adding ""Yes... the town is finally frozen, and he can finally have some peace and quiet,"" after that, he used ice fang on me, which was a mistake on his part, since I used counter to throw that damage back at him. An unknown, and unseen pokemon then added onto that with ""DON'T RUIN HIS PEACE AND QUIET!"" which was shouted... despite there supposedly being a sleeping pokemon that they didn't want to wake up in the next room. The last pokemon didn't attack, probably just because he was too far away, but the others started attacking whomever they could, with the frosslass using ice beam, and the glalie using ice fang... oddly enough, they didn't seem to care what type of pokemon they hit with that, they just hit whatever they could. I then remembered just how hungry I was... and I tried to make sure it didn't effect my performance in this fight.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	I continued down the hallway, limping and mumbling more than a few choice words about this place when I noticed a window, and looking out, not only did I finally see some sunlight, but I saw Eralion breathing heavily while running towards me. ""Hey! Eralion! Over here!"" I shouted to him, waving my arm just out of the window to make sure he could see before continuing onward... only to find a boulder blocking my path... great, just great, I finally get to where I could reunite with my teammate, and a weird, pink boulder blocks my way... wait, why was it pink? I then tried to think of why it would be pink, of all colors before just using frustration on it, causing a crack to form... was it somehow weak to dark type moves? If so, then that's actually pretty convenient, given that both of the pokemon it was blocking had dark type moves. I then shouted to Eralion again, this time saying ""Eralion! We have to use dark type moves on this thing... dunno why, but it seems to be weak to them!"" I then used frustration on it, again, though, no new cracks formed... did we have to do this as a team? Did we have to use some sort of attack on this thing at the same time in order to break it? Either way, I kept trying, eventually breaking through the boulder, and getting to Eralion. Once it was broken, I ran over to him, and tried my best not to hug him. I didn't like being separated from my team, but... where did Tini run off to?</div>"

It was just then that she was blasted with the hyper voice attack, having a bit of an issue cause of her ears. Dear Arceus, why did she have to have good hearing? She backed away from this, before feeling the dazzling gleam attack. She took the attack, before seeing the team take a hit onto him. Considering the typing, she didn't really have any choice for her moves. Fairy type move may do some damage, but maybe not enough, ghost type won't work at all, and ground type would not do as much. She concentrated and then instead attacked with her chains of light, trying to hit hard on the other guild master, maybe hitting something that might wake him up or something. Considering how he was acting, either we needed to knock him out or somehow get his mind back. <br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>When Eralion kept running, he saw Bonnie.

He then smiles as he saw her run to him.. before he suddenly hugged her... before realizing what he was doing.. and letting her down.<br/>""Oh.. errr.. s.. sorry... that.. that must have been awkward."" he said, unsure what else to say there. To say the least, he felt embarrassed after that. What was he even thinking? <br/>""I..

Climbing to the top, I notice a small settlement down by the ocean. The buildings look like nothing I've ever seen before. Some of them aren’t even buildings - just tents! ""Ohh, I need to see this!"" I exclaim as I begin running down the hill towards this settlement. Perhaps this is a camp that keeps guard over the town nearby. Although, I haven't actually seen the town yet... That's strange. It should be right around here.<br/><br/>	Soon, I find myself slowly walking along the dirt road, taking in all the exotic sights and sounds of this strange place. Several of the buildings (or tents, I can't really tell which they are) are shaped like Pokémon I've heard of. To my right is one up on a hill shaped like a Wigglytuff, and just down to my left is one made to look like a Chansey. Scattered around in a few places are totem poles carved to look like Pokémon stacked on top of one another. One of them I recognize as a Pidgeot, although most of the others are new to me. It takes a while before I realize that I should move on from this settlement soon. The town I'm heading for shouldn't be too much further south, but I decide I should find out the name of this place before I move on.<br/><br/>	""Hey,"" I begin to ask a Kangaskhan working at a shop, ""What's this place called?""<br/>	""Hello there, sweetie!"" she replies cheerfully, ""This is Margret's Storage; I'm Margret! If you have any items that you need me to take care of, feel free to ask!""<br/>	""I- uhh... Sorry, no. I meant this settlement. You know, with all the tents around and stuff...""<br/>	""Oh, you mean the town? This is Treasure Town, and Allure Town is just down the road there.""<br/><br/>	I laugh at her joke, but then the confused look on her face tells me she's serious. I stop laughing and the smile fades from my face as I stare blankly at her. <span class=""bb-i"">Wait... This...</span> ""This is a TOWN!?"" I exclaim in astonishment, louder than I meant to. <span class=""bb-i"">How can this be the town I was heading for!? I thought a town would at least be half as big as Scale City... This place is tiny!</span> I look around again and notice all the Pokémon nearby. I had been so preoccupied with the strange buildings and art that I completely ignored everyone. Firstly, I notice a few of them are staring at me. Secondly, I realize that I seem to be the only dragon type around. If those two observations don't embarrass someone, then I don't know what would.<br/><br/>	I gulp and look back at Margret, who asks, ""Are you okay, sweetie?"" My mouth hangs open, as though I'm trying to say fifty different things at once and none of them are coming out. My attempt at an apology probably comes out as an inaudible mumble, and I lower my head as best I can to walk away towards the ocean. Hopefully, they all soon forget about what I said...<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>	I get to the bluff overlooking the ocean and see a Dugtrio shouting maniacally at it. ""Sea! Oh, beautiful sea! We long to see your shimmering blue water again! We miss the mighty roar of your waves crashing against the cliff face!"" I'm about to stop him, but decide it would be a bad idea. Getting closer to the cliff edge, I notice that the ocean is a lot darker than it looks in paintings. Actually, it doesn't even look like water... Instead of light blue, the ocean is a dark mixture of black and deep purple; the colors seeming to swirl and refract around each other as I look at it from different angles. Occasionally, I think I can see movement somewhere inside it, but it's never clear enough for me to be sure. The most unnerving part about the ocean, though, isn't what it looks like. It's the deafening silence emanating from it. There's no calming sound of the waves or the faint cries of Wingull flying above it - there's hardly even any wind. This is definitely not how I imagined the the sea would be.<br/><br/>	""I thought the ocean would look more... I don't know... bluey? Is that a word?” I ask the Dugtrio beside me. He pauses his shouting to look in my direction, then looks back down at the ocean.<br/>	“The ocean <span class=""bb-i"">is</span> blue! Well, it should be... You don’t seem like you’re from around here.”<br/>	“I’m not. I came from Scale City; I’ve never been this far south before.” I admit. The three heads look me over for a moment, noticing the bag loosely hanging from my shoulder and the stick in the side pocket.<br/>	“Hmph. That much is clear.”<br/>	“So...” I begin, eager to change the topic, “What’s wrong with the water? Why’s it not blue?”<br/>	“We don’t think there is any water down there, anymore. That’s the void.”<br/>	“The void?” I ask, confused.<br/><br/>	“Well, that’s what everyone’s been calling it, at least. Apparently there’s these things called void crystals. They’re sort of like time gears - ever heard about those?” He asks. I nod my head, pretending to know what he’s talking about. The name sounds familiar, but I don’t remember reading too much about them. He continues his explanation, “So, when a time gear is taken, time stops in that area. When a void crystal goes missing, that... stuff starts appearing and taking over the mystery dungeon. We don’t know what happens to Pokémon who are stupid enough to go into it, but it can’t be good. In fact, when the ocean first disappeared, a Wailord washed up on the beach trying to escape it.”<br/><br/>	“That’s... horrible.” I take another cautious look over the edge of the cliff. Noticing a beach down there, I can’t help but imagine how terrified that Wailord must have been to beach itself there. “Is it usually like this around here?” I ask. The Dugtrio thinks for a moment before answering.<br/><br/>	“Depends.” he replies. <span class=""bb-i"">Yeah, that’s reassuring...</span> I say goodbye and head back into Treasure Town, hoping to buy the food I came here for. <span class=""bb-i"">I knew that adventuring would be dangerous... But I honestly didn’t expect something like this! Everyone around here seems so unaffected by it... Maybe they’re used to the void by now? I don’t know how anyone could get used to something like that sitting on their doorstep. It’s a wonder they haven’t started moving away yet...</span> I look over a few of the stalls lined up in town. <span class=""bb-i"">Now, which of these sell food?</span></div>"

Despite not getting very far, learning about mystery dungeons was still fun. On one such adventure, we discovered a strange place atop a hill, where a bright red and yellow carpet was laid out on the soft grass. A Kecleon sat in the middle of the carpet surrounded by various foods and items that could be useful to adventurers. “Welcome, welcome!” he said to us, “Feel free to examine my merchandise!” <span class=""bb-s"">What followed would be remembered by all as the worst day of our lives.</span><br/><br/>	I’m reminded of that moment as I look over to two Kecleon standing at a stall nearby. <span class=""bb-i"">Could this be where that Kecleon was from? I always assumed he slept on the carpet...</span> I walk over to the short line in front of their stall. There's a Zigzagoon in front of me who keeps changing his mind about which TM to buy. I sit my bag on the ground and open the front pouch, taking out the 1000 Poké I brought for food. I’ve never seen how much things cost in other towns, so hopefully this should be enough.<br/><br/>	“Thank you, have a nice day!” I hear the Kecleon say as the Zigzagoon walks away with a Thunder TM. Not wanting to keep him waiting, I hurry up to the stall with my money in hand.<br/>	“Hi, how are you?” I ask the green Kecleon, attempting to make small talk, “Do you sell any food here?”<br/>	“Of course!” he replies cheerfully, “What do you have in mind? We’ve got apples and various berries in stock right now.” I pause for a moment to think.<br/>	“How much would three apples and an oran berry cost?”<br/>	“That'll be 380 Poké.”<br/>	“Thanks.” I reply as he turns to get the food for me. <span class=""bb-i"">That was much easier than buying from Danny, even if I did have to walk to another town!</span><br/><br/>	I reach down to open my bag, but it’s not hanging from my shoulder. Remembering I left it on the ground behind me, I turn around. My bag isn't there. “No... No, no, no! Where is it!?” I say to myself in disbelief that I let it out of my sight. “I- it was right there in my bag! This can’t be happening right now...” I look at all the nearby Pokémon, none of whom are paying me any attention. I check the area again and my stick (and bag too, I suppose) still isn’t anywhere to be seen - I don’t even see any Pokémon carrying it away!<br/>	“Excuse me?” The Kecleon asks from his stall, “Is everything alright?” I turn around to address him, but I’m not sure what to say.<br/>	“I - uhh... It’s my stick. And my bag.”<br/>	“Your bag?”<br/>	“It was right here a moment ago. I just put it down for a second to get some money out but now it’s not there and I don’t know where it is...” I trail off. The Kecleon realizes what happened and looks at me with a combination of worry and disappointment. He puts away the food, knowing that I’m no longer looking to buy anything.<br/><br/>	“Now, normally I’d tell people to go to the guild in a situation like this, but I don’t think you’d have any luck there.” He thinks out loud, trying to figure out if there’s anything he can do for me.<br/>	“The guild?” I ask, “Where’s that?”<br/>	“It’s the building shaped like a Wigglytuff on that hill. You can’t miss it. Like I said, though, there’s not much they can do for you. They have a bit of a situation at the moment.”<br/>	“Well, I’m still gonna try.” I reply, disregarding his warning. “Thanks for your help!” I run off towards the guild, keeping an eye out for anyone holding a pointy stick. <span class=""bb-i"">Hopefully this guild is as skilled as the one back in Scale City.</span><br/><br/>	”What was all that about?” the purple Kecleon asks after I'm out of earshot.<br/>	“Oh, you know.” The green one sighs, “<span class=""bb-i"">Tourists.</span>”</div>"

No explosions? Guess she’d have to make that a Plan B, though she did make a mental note of those chemicals in case they might be useful later. She made sure to stay back by the door, though. She sensed a whole swarm of aggressive emotions ahead and she didn’t really feel like being near them. Just seemed like it was better to leave to the meat shields while she kept her chant up and threw out her Dazzling Gleams to thin down the herd. And she did do that. But then it turned out that one of the guildmasters was here too. And very loud, and very dangerous. Aside from a Blizzard and a minor scratch from a Dazzling Gleam of his own, she managed to avoid any damage from him.<br/><br/>“Heyyy, um, Guildmaster?” Rebecca called out. “I was wondering if you were brainwashed or just kind of evil? Because if you could like go on a whole big spiel about your motivations and plans that would be awesome.” The Kirlia struck a pose and used Dazzling Gleam again, culling the opposition as she tried to get all the distractions off the field. Though if he kept attacking so wildly, he might get that part of the job done for her.<br/><br/>Judging by the way that he was taking attacks, though, it seemed to Rebecca that he might not even need their help in the first place. How much longer could they keep this up with him leading the charge? Perhaps it was time to consider other strategies.</div>"

That, of course, brought my attention to the two, who seemed to be discussing something. I then tried to use coil, allowing me to focus on a possible new strategy, and, of course, increasing my stats. <span class=""bb-i"">Hmm... attacks, in general seem useless against him, but, I wonder... are statuses as useless, or are those going to actually work?</span> After that thought, I decide to aim a leech seed at the guildmaster, somehow actually hitting him with it, despite the darkness, and then he started to rush right at me, using a double-edge move that I wasn't prepared for. I tried to hide, or dodge, but it seemed like I didn't need to, given that a bronzor, our client, got in the way of the attack, easily taking the hit, given his constant use of iron defense, earlier, and his steel typing. ""Whew... thanks, that was kind of close..."" I said to him, causing him to just smile at me for a bit before floating away, again. I then noticed the leech seed take effect, draining health from the guildmaster and giving it to me, completely healing the damage I took from his hyper voice, earlier.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	As Dexter bit the guildmaster, Rebecca asked the guildmaster whether he was brainwashed, or evil. The guildmaster decided to respond with another hyper voice, aimed specifically for her... and me, since I was nearby. ""Owwww! Okay, looks like plain old attacks and taunting aren't gonna work... wait, I think I've got it! First, either we have Dexter burn the guildmaster, or we have him try to physically attack me, so I can poison him, and after that, you could just keep using confusion so it'll be that much harder for him to hit us,"" as I said that, I noticed Spruce launch some leech seeds at the guildmaster, reminding me of a certain fight where that same thing happened to Rebecca, and the guildmaster repaid Spruce's 'kindness' with a double-edge, which was blocked by our client, of all pokemon... I guess that's what happens when you overuse iron defense, but still. <span class=""bb-i"">I hope we don't have to be bailed out by our client too often in this fight... sheesh, that would be embarassing...</span> I thought as I saw the guildmaster's life get drained by the still evil-looking seeds. I didn't care which side they were on, leech seeds always looked evil, to me... and their function only confirmed their evilness in my eyes. After explaining the plan, I noticed Dexter was still biting the guildmaster, and I shouted to him ""Hey Dexter! Try to burn the guildmaster while you're holding onto him like that! If our attacks aren't doing anything, maybe status effects will win this for us!""<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	The fight continued with me using muddy water to hit all the enemies in the room, and after that, they turned their attention towards me. ""Whoops... shouldn't have put a target on my back, huh...?"" I sort of meekly said after they aimed their moves at me. It seemed to be over, with at least five ice beams heading my way, and a few ice fangs in the mix, as well, however, a kadabra just teleported in from seemingly nowhere, and used his psychic powers to redirect all of their attacks, letting me live for at least one more turn. ""Huh? Hey, wait, I'm alive! Heh... thanks mister..."" I then looked up at my savior, this time, and memories of a certain draconic mountain, and a ticked off fairy type came flooding back. ""Wait... you? YOU!?"" I shouted at him, only to have him shrug, and respond with ""Do I... know you? Beyond the psychic message I sent to you to come here, I mean,"" Daniel then interjected with ""Yeah, I kinda kicked your rear end back at Mt. Dragoncoil, when you were assaulting an innocent Pichu,"" he shrugged, again, and said ""I'm reading that memory, right now... seems like you DID see me... but I don't remember ever going there, especially to attack some tiny electric type. Hmm... looking at when you remember that happening... no, I was busy being lost in that maze during that time. There's no way I could have been on that mountain, though, funnily enough, I've always wanted to see the view from the top of that place,"" I then shook my head, and decided to continue, this time, using body slam on one of the glalie, while Daniel used Shadow Rush on one of the frosslass, and our new kadabra... friend...(?) used psychic on another one of them, trying to smash one into the other with that move.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The hug lasted for a bit longer than I wanted it to, but even I have to admit that it felt kind of nice, this time. ""Alright, I think we've had enough hugs for now, let's continue on, now that we're together, again... so... from what we've all seen, where do you think a psychic / fighting type would hide in this place?"" I asked my team after the hug finally stopped. I then tried to recall most of the cave that I went through alone, and tried to recall any forks in the road, or any sort of weird spots on the wall... I then recalled seeing some weird scrapes under a wall in that left path that had a throh in it, but... how was I going to get across, now? I then finally said ""So... good news, and bad news... I know where he's probably hiding, however, there's a giant chasm between here and there, and last time I crossed it, I had to use a throh's, er, throwing power,"" I then shook my head, and waited for the other two to come up with any ideas, or any other possible hiding spots, because I really didn't want him to be there. I then sat down for a bit, trying to make sure my leg heals up, just so I don't have to limp, anymore, and I hear someone approaching from somewhere... an enemy? Now? Well, at least we have Tini, again, and he can just... deal with them while Eralion and I come up with more ideas and plans.</div>"

This was not going to be easy, that is for sure. She looked at the guildmaster, before seeing Spruce use leach seed on him. Leach seed... she understood what his plan was here. We could not just go and attack head on, so we needed to instead try to weaken him and possibly use status moves. Now here was the problem for her: Moonblast would not do much except maybe lower his special attack, Shadow Ball could not be used at all and hidden power was not going to do the trick. She though about it a bit... and decided the best course of action here was to try to possibly entangle him. How though was another issue. The only way she could see was to use her light chains.. so that was what she tried to do, trying to use them not for damage and hitting him hard, but instead wrap them around the guildmaster's hands and feet's right now and try to force them down to the ground a bit, aiming to either make him slower or even preferably flinch him, depending on if that move had anything that could be done here.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>As the hug continued a bit, Eralion felt better about this, seeing Tini and smiling at him.<br/>""Eh... miss you guys too.

He looked worried right now cause Bonnie was healing. He moved forwards to get in front, counter ready right there.<br/>""Whoever you are... you best not try to attack."" he then said, confident about this. If a physical hit was going to arrive, then at least he would be ready to take it on and then make that guy pay the price for his attack.. if it was not physical, then he might have a little issue.</div>"

A large hill stands to my left, with a giant Wigglytuff-shaped tent sitting on top. As I climb the stairs, I wonder how this place will compare to Denise’s Guild. The exterior of her building was intimidating enough, in stark contrast to this giant pink tent. On the other hand, just knowing that this is a guild frightens me. What if they laugh at my request for help? It was pretty stupid of me to leave my bag there like that...<br/><br/>	I soon reach the top and stand in front of the building. Shadows from two large torches dance across the guild’s eyes, giving it a menacing look. Presumably, I have to stand on the grate to be admitted entrance. I carefully shift my weight onto the sticks of bamboo, then wait for a moment. The only sound from the tunnels below is the faint dripping of water. The bottom is just barely visible, though nobody seems to be there. <span class=""bb-i"">That’s strange... I thought this would be a pretty regimented place. It is a guild, after all...</span><br/><br/>	Seeing as it <span class=""bb-i"">is</span> an emergency, I step off the sentry grate and walk through the tent opening. The floor of the first room is made of dirt, with various plants scattered around the edges of the walls. A sign stands to my left with some sort of list written on it. “One, don’t shirk work. Two, run away and pay... Three, smiles go for miles...” I read out from it. “Maybe it’s more of a motto than a list..” I grab onto the ladder in the center of the room, and begin climbing down. Soon, I can hear angry shouting emanating from the room below me.<br/>	“HEY! That’s MY apple!” one voice yells.<br/>	“Why!? Just because you saw it first?” another shouts back.<br/>	“By golly, guys...” a quieter third voice chimes in, “Can’t we just-”<br/>	“NO!”<br/><br/>	The arguing continues as I cautiously proceed down the ladder with my back turned to the room. It makes me anxious not knowing what’s going on behind me, but I’d fall off if I tried to turn around while climbing. I half expect an attack to hit me from behind. Once I feel the ground beneath my feet again, I turn around to see a Bidoof flying through the air towards me. I sidestep just in time to avoid him as he hits the ladder. “Owww...” he groans, before yelping in surprise when he notices a Gible standing over him. Without a word he scrambles up the ladder to escape. On the other side of the room is a group of Pokemon in a heated argument, with a Sunflora and Loudred in the middle of it. From the room down the next ladder, I hear what sounds like more yelling and something shattering. <span class=""bb-i"">That Kecleon really wasn’t messing around when he said they have a situation here...</span> Not wanting to get caught up in the chaos, I hastily climb back up the ladder. Clearly, this guild isn’t in any position to help me find the thief.</div>"

Josh had seen the Kadabra before. They had a scuffle with him on the peak of Mt. Dragoncoil, though he denied that this ever happened. As much as Josh wanted to question him, they didn't have time for that. They were in the middle of a fight, after all. They could find out who he was after they were done with Kyurem. For now, he continued to do what he'd been doing all along: lobbing Sludge Bombs into the crowd of Pokemon and staying back so he wouldn't get hit.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   ""The fuck happened to 'don't use fire'?"" Dexter growled. Unfortunately, trying to talk caused his grip on the Guildmaster to loosen, and he escaped from Dexter's jaws. As annoyed as he was, it did seem like burning the Guildmaster would be the best option. Leech Seed appeared to be doing a lot more than their regular attacks were, after all. Instead of using Ember, though, he tried something else. He charged forwards, forming a ring of fire around himself as he went. This attack seemed to have more power behind it than Ember, and it was much more satisfying to physically hit his target instead of just blowing flames at them. He slammed into the Guildmaster, hoping that his newly-aquired Flame Wheel would cause a burn.</div>"

Despite now being outside, the shouting inside only seemed to get louder. <span class=""bb-i"">I wonder how it all got so out of control. Does the Exploration Team Federation know about this place?</span> I started walking down the stairs, still thinking about the condition of that guild. <span class=""bb-i"">On the other hand, I guess I shouldn’t think too harshly of them. Something horrible must have happened to turn the guild members on one another like that...</span> I reached the crossroads and stopped. The Bidoof from earlier was walking down the path in front of me. Considering how the other guild members were acting, it would probably be best to keep my distance from him. To my right was the town where my bag had been stolen. If the thief knew what they were doing, they would have already left the scene of the crime. My only other option was the left road, leading to the place called Allure Town. <span class=""bb-i"">It’s strange how they refer to these places as separate towns. Even so close to each other, they’re still not nearly as big as Scale City.</span><br/><br/>	If I were the thief, I’d probably go there. It was just far enough from where my bag was stolen, but also had crowds to hide in. <span class=""bb-i"">Maybe there’s even another guild over there!</span> As I walked into Allure Town, I noticed how similar its architecture was to Treasure Town. I might have even mistaken it for the same place if I hadn’t known better! Still, what these towns lacked in size they made up for in variety. It was refreshing to see a place where no two buildings looked the same. I continued walking until I noticed a Zweilous running a store nearby. Even though I didn’t know them, the sight of another dragon type was comforting somehow.<br/><br/>	“Hey!” A voice shouted from behind me. I turned around and saw a Wurmple trying to catch up to me. “Heeeeey!” He shouted again, apparently oblivious that I heard him the first time. He soon reached me out of breath and stood hunched over with his eyes closed. An explorer’s bag heavy with items was draped around him, perhaps explaining his difficulty.<br/>	“Are you okay?” I asked as he tried to catch his breath, “Who are you?” The second question came out a bit more defensively than I intended, but I had no reason to trust this Pokémon.<br/>	“Thought I’d never catch up to ya...” He managed to say in between gasps for air. “It’s nice to meet ya!... The name’s Hudson!”<br/>	“Nice to meet you... Is there something I can do for you?” I asked, wondering what he wanted from me.<br/>	“Nope, but there <span class=""bb-i"">is</span> something I can do for you!” Hudson replied, gesturing with his arm for emphasis, “I heard about yer bag - them Kecleon bros told me all about it.”<br/>	“Oh, they did?” Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to think. Wouldn’t more thieves target me if everyone knew about that?<br/>	“Of course, they did! Luckily for you, I just so happen to be a member of this town's guild!""<br/>	“Wait, really!?” I said, shifting from cautious to excited in a heartbeat, “So you can help me get my stuff back?”<br/>	“You bet yer berries I can! Missions like this are usually pretty darn expensive, but I’ll cut ya a deal. Since it’s yer first day in town, I’ll only charge ya 1000 Poké!”<br/>	“What!? 1000 Poké!?”<br/>	“Ha!” he shouted, patting me on the back, “I’m just messin’ with ya, don’t worry. Anyways, the daylight’s wasting, so let’s head out. I’ve been tryin’ a track down these pickpockets for ages. Let’s go...” He paused for a moment to get his bearings. “This way!” Before I knew it, he was hobbling past an Audino-shaped building off towards the forest. “Are ya waitin’ for yer bag to just walk itself back to town or what? C’mon!” He shouted back to me. Not being one to turn down a free offer for help, I ran to catch up with my new friend.</div>"

At least that jerk got leech seeded for his trouble. It admittedly wasn’t as horrible when it was being inflicted on someone else.

It was another one of her ideas.<br/><br/>“Hey, hey!” Rebecca said over the noise. “Yeah, I know we decided on No Fire, but, um, this guy’s kind of soaking up everything we can throw at him to the point where we’re hoping to just sort of hold out until we wear him down with leech seeds or whatever? So I’d like to point out that setting some weird chemicals on fire and hoping they explode might be a decent strategy at this point. Maybe.

I'm so, so very sorry. I think I drifted off mid-sentence, or something... my memory's a little more than hazy past this pain. I'm getting frightened by all this blood(?) in my eyesight.<br/><br/>Let's get back on track. I do remember the startling suspense and tension of sifting through a curtain of darkness, not knowing what awaited you on the other side. Not that it was dark... actually it wasn't dark at all. Well, uh... hm... t-the light was in fact permeating throughout the entire cave, a-and well through a process of, well, total internal refraction which would in fact illuminate and reveal and show it to us all the enemies ahead and...<br/><br/><span class=""bb-i"">Alright come on, I'm not trying to make a memoir here. I have to tell it all, and I have to do it right, even if I literally can't remember anymore.</span><br/><br/>We marched on. This little ragtag gang stepping/floating/flying towards our goal. We were gonna unfreeze this little town even if it meant giving our lives. (Spoiler alert, we live. Otherwise I'd be a ghost right now.) I don't think I gave damn <span class=""bb-s"">at the time</span>, but <span class=""bb-s"">looking back at it reassured me that it was worth living</span> this wasn't just for some poor kelp's girl. We had an obligation not just as Guild members but living things in general to save others. After all, what would've Spruce done if he was here instead of me? He wouldn't have just flattened Kyreum's minions, he would've used their poor hides as spades to tunnel straight to Kyreum and give him a heart attack.<br/><br/>So, you know what? We were gonna do just that. Maybe with a little less digging, but we sure as hell weren't gonna let some measly pack of Pokemon block our way. We were boulders to these rolling pins and had just devastated a thousand other pins.<br/><br/>Yet we stumbled into what seemed like a trap. A featureless round room big enough to house our Guild's building. It almost got even bigger as I tilted my eyes up to see the ceiling, only to sight several Glaile and Froslass in the midst of dropping onto us. My eye got dizzy from witnessing the blur of the fall, a wave of stinging frozen air whizzing past us from their descent. A few words later and it wasn't long we were in for another fight, outnumbered and exhausted (and honestly a little unprepared). I could handle these things easily that didn't mean I wasn't taking damage. Anthony had the wind knocked out of him by a literal beam of ice, even for a dragon. As for me, despite leading the group at the time and being closest to enemy, every ice beam missed and reflected off the walls (harmlessly) like a laser show.<br/><br/>I gathered my charge with my magnet pair, sparks of yellow flying off my poles. Kamina literally burst into flames and began to bowl his way through, myself in the meantime locking my magnets onto a sucker that sidestepped Kamina and preparing a flash cannon, the smell of ozone almost putting me off. I knew it wasn't enough however - it might've looked cool with one magnet pointed and another spinning violently offhand with a brilliant white glow, but I couldn't make out what Josh was saying over the heat of the fight. Perhaps about Anthony being massacred if we didn't stop them, yet I knew it was too late; I sure as hell felt like an idiot not trying to block all the beams like a hero, but... well, I honestly can't remember why I didn't do it. Maybe I thought it wouldn't have mattered and that I'd just share the blow, which would at least crippled or ended us both, or that I wouldn't have been able to reach in time.<br/><br/>But you know what? Miracles happen, right as you screw up because life gives another chance. Sometimes Arceus knows to meet your prayers and will send you Saint Nicholas. Believe it or not (and you may ask the testimony of the others), a Pokemon with a spoon came in to save the day. He literally blinked in front of Anthony, and my goodness it makes this narration almost sound fictional. Whatever he did after involved a lot of headache-inducing purple, but at least Anthony wasn't a popsicle. I had no time to wait for the Kadabra's monologue, hovering myself steady as a bright shooting star twinkled and exploded over the unfortunate ice Pokemon. Ultimately I didn't really know how to react, perhaps a hesitant and confused grin on my eye as the Kadabra drew a look from me (and it wasn't because he could manhandle a bit of steel). <br/><br/>The fight certainly wasn't over though, hovering towards Anthony and trying to cover for his slimy body. ""Goodness gracious Anthony!"" I don't think I cried that out loud but... let's go with it. ""You alright? You seen Reshiram too?"" By that point... I can't actually recall seeing Reshiram. In fact, he almost disappeared from memory until I realised I lost headcount. I was still rather frantic with Anthony first however, almost ready to grasp him with my magnets though not actually doing it, considering he got knocked the hardest out of all of us.</div>"

Only the most ruthless pickpocket this town has ever seen!” Hudson yelled. With that, he turned back around and waddled into the forest’s undergrowth. I stepped into the leaves to follow him. Forests like this were familiar to me, although I had never seen one this dense. We were barely five metres in and already the entrance was hard to make out. Sunbeams filtered down through the trees above and the pleasant smell of damp leaves hung in the air. “How will we know when we find them?” I called, “Do you know what they look like?”<br/>	“Hmph! Of course I know what they look like!”<br/>	I sighed at his response. Hudson certainly wasn’t the type to give out useful information easily. Hopefully he was as experienced in taking down outlaws as he let on; otherwise we would be in for a tough time. As I moved a branch out of the way, I saw Hudson standing over a small river. “We’re gonna need to find a way ‘cross this.” He said, walking away along the side of the river. I stood there for a moment to come up with an idea, but there wasn't any easy way across. “Hey! Over here!” Hudson shouted from upstream. I followed the sound of his voice and found him standing next to a log that had fallen over the river. “Think ya can walk across this?” He asked. The log looked stable, and was wide enough to walk on, but...<br/><br/>	“I... I think so...” I responded hesitantly, “Are you sure there’s not another way? I don’t know how to swim, so falling in the water...”<br/>	“Oh, don’t worry ‘bout that. If ya fall in I’ll go and rescue ya myself.” Coming from a Wurmple, that wasn’t a very reassuring statement.<br/>	“Well... As long as you think you can.” I replied. Hudson jumped up onto the log and waddled his way to the other side like it was nothing. Once he was safely on the ground, I climbed up. Suddenly, the water looked a lot farther down. Was the river moving faster now? It probably was, given my luck. I held out my arms for balance and carefully stepped forwards.<br/>	“That’s it, keep it up!” Hudson encouraged me. I took a deep breath and stepped forward again. The log wobbled a bit, but not enough to make me lose my balance. “Almost there!” he shouted. After a few more steps I was nearly across. Just when I thought I finally had it down, the log jolted to the right. I fell onto all fours to hold on. <br/>	“Grab the log!” I shouted to Hudson, afraid it would roll me off into the river. The log rolled a bit more, and I looked up to see him holding it for me. Taking this chance, I scrambled the rest of my way across onto dry land. I lay on the ground, trying to catch my breath after that traumatic experience.<br/>	“Ahahaha!” Hudson laughed, “The look on yer face! Priceless! Yer lucky I was there to hold the log for ya, else you’d be down the river by now!” I found his laughter less than amusing, but at least we were both okay.<br/>	“Yeah, nothing to worry about... Only almost drowned, is all.” I replied, sarcastically. The sarcasm flew right over his head.<br/>	“Well good! Sounds like you’ve got the right outlook on things! Now stop yer dilly-dallying; we’ve got ourselves a pickpocket to catch!”</div>"

""Hey, yeah, where is he? He'd be really helpful against these guys,"" I then looked around the room to find him trying to get in through the entrance, his gigantic body being just slightly too big to fit through. <span class=""bb-i"">Should I keep fighting these guys, or should I try to get Reshiram out of there? Wait, no, Josh would have to help with that... ugh... what to do?</span> I thought as I kept looking between the fight, and Reshiram's struggle to get into the room. An ice beam nearly hit me as I had this conversation, and a glalie flew past me, apparently flung by some sort of psychic power, but, eventually, I tried my best to slither up to Josh, losing my balance more than a few times on the way there, and I point out ""Yeah, uh... Reshiram's been trying to get into this place... we kinda need him to help us against Kyurem, uh... would you mind trying to get him through the entrance, again?"" I then gestured towards the struggling Reshiram, and I noticed a shadow tackle finish off one of the enemies as I waited for some sort of response from Josh... which reminds me... what happened to Matt?

The other pokemon seemed to stay back for now, and I tried to think of anything I could really do in this situation... there was already a batch of leech seeds on him, we had him burned, and we even threw chemicals at him... what more could we really do to this guy? <span class=""bb-i"">I guess I could just attack? Seems like a wasted effort, given how he's reacted to attacks so far, but... maybe I could deal damage if I just kept increasing my attack? Hmm...</span> I thought as I put that plan into action, using coil, once again. I then felt a chill as the guildmaster used blizzard, again, hitting every one of us, including the client we were supposed to protect, and hurting me QUITE a bit. Thankfully, the leech seeds were still doing their job, and I got most of that health back, but still. Nina then decided she had enough of making sure the potentially volatile chemicals weren't going to burn this place down, and she ran up to a table with a bunch of them on it, and used double kick to knock them onto the guildmaster. Some of the chemicals mixed and burned, while others seemed to be acidic, or something, and the guildmaster, for the first time in the fight, actually screamed, and tried to run away, or, at least run, and try to get the chemicals off of him.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Dexter begrudgingly used Flame Wheel on the guildmaster, which seemed to leave behind a burn, and Rebecca flung various chemicals at him with psychic powers while Spruce just sort of stood there, thinking... probably wondering how to top us, somehow. It would be pretty hard to do that, considering the fact that the guildmaster was probably knocked out behind all of that smoke. I smiled for a bit, thinking that we somehow defeated him, but, then the smoke cleared, and I could see him... praying? What was he trying to do with that? While everyone just stood around, confused, the guildmaster froze the entire room again with blizzard, probably dealing a ton of damage to Spruce, but not so much to our client. At that point, I had just about enough of just standing around in the back of the room, and I said ""You know what? Forget the chemicals, I'll just have them all land on the guildmaster's head, how about that?"" and, after that, I ran over to one of the nearby tables, and knocked it over with double kick, causing a bunch of random chemicals to land on the guildmaster. Some of the colorful liquids sizzled when they touched his skin, while others mixed with each other, and either exploded, or caught on fire.

""Ugh, really? That guy STILL won't leave me alone? Sheesh... I used attract on him ONCE, and now I'm going to pay for it, aren't I?"" I then keep waiting, and once I was ready to walk, again, I get up, and take the stuff. The flowers smelled alright, but when you're around someone who smells as nice as Tini does, constantly, the smell of flowers tends to get overshadowed. The box, however, contained some seeds, and two oran berries, things that will most likely come in handy as soon as we find our guy. I put the seeds and berries away, and then try to think of a way across the chasm, and while I came up with one solution, it... wasn't really my favorite. ""Okay, so, that guy, he's kind of on our side, and he seems to know some way of getting across the chasm, so... let's try to ask him, I guess... I mean, for all we know there's some secret passage that he knows how to open, and that passage goes across the chasm, somehow,"" I then had to wonder where he could have ran away to. Hopefully, he wasn't on the other side of the chasm, already, as it wouldn't be easy to talk to him from there.</div>"

He was somewhere ahead of me, but it was impossible to see through this undergrowth.<br/><br/>	“What for!? We’re nearly there - I can smell it!”<br/><br/>	“I’m hungry. You know I haven’t eaten since this morning, right?”<br/><br/>	Hudson seemed to ignore me, instead focusing his attention on waddling through the plants, but a moment later I heard him stop.<br/><br/>	“Ya know what?” he replied suddenly. “Food ain’t a half bad idea right about now. We’ll take a rest up here.”<br/><br/>	I followed the sound of his voice to a small clearing. Hudson sat in the middle of it, his head deep inside his bag scrounging for food. “Keep guard,” he ordered, pointing towards the edge of the clearing. “We haven’t seen any of them crazies yet, but ya never know when one could pop out atcha.” I assumed he meant “watch out for enemies”; it was hard to tell with him sometimes. Climbing onto a rock at the edge of the clearing, I peered over the undergrowth. Here, the forest was trapped in a perpetual twilight by the thick trees overhead, making it difficult to see far. All I could make out were the plants we walked through and a few decaying logs scattered around. Still, it was nice to have peace and quiet for once, a rare treat for someone from Scale City.<br/><br/>	“See anything?” Hudson broke the silence.<br/><br/>	“No,” I replied. “I don’t think anyone’s around.” I jumped down from my rock and took the apple he offered me. “Thanks.”<br/><br/>	“It’s nothin’,” he admitted, carefully closing his bag. I looked around our small clearing as we ate in silence. If I was honest with myself, the plants here gave me the chills. In the mountains you could practically see forever; in here you could barely see five metres through the greenery. A Kricketot could jump out and you wouldn’t notice until it was clinging to your face.<br/><br/>	Hudson froze as though a Swellow had locked eyes with him. I looked toward where he was focused but didn’t see anything. “Shh...” he whispered. “Didja hear that?” I stopped chewing to listen. All I could hear was the soft sound of leaves in the wind.<br/><br/>	“No, what is it?”<br/><br/>	“Shush!” he whispered again. “I’m gonna check it out. Ya stay here, now, alright?” With his bag around his side, Hudson slowly crept into the plants. I waited for a few moments. “Hudson?” I whispered, sneaking to the edge of the clearing. There was no reply. <span class=""bb-i"">There’s probably countless bird Pokémon in this forest just waiting for a meal like him.</span> “Hudson!?” I whispered more urgently. The anxiety started to give me a stomach ache and made my heart race; this was worse than when I got lost in the market as a kid. <span class=""bb-i"">What if something ate him? He’s only a Wurmple, for Arceus’ sake!</span> I thought, my heart beating faster as the panic rose inside me. <span class=""bb-i"">How will I get out of here if he doesn’t come back? What if he got eaten and I’m next!?</span> Unable to control my trembling, I moved a plant aside to see the path he took. There were two identical paths leading through the undergrowth, each as big as a Wurmple. “Two?” I wondered out loud. Then it dawned on me; there aren’t two paths. I’m not seeing right. I rubbed my eyes to make the double vision go away, but it only got worse.<br/><br/>	“What’s going on?” I wondered. Something was wrong. I knew what panic felt like, and this wasn’t panic. I didn’t get double vision and a stomachache by worrying about Hudson. I backed away toward the safety of the clearing and spotted my half-eaten apple sitting nearby. It didn’t look or smell rotten. There wasn’t anything strange about it - except for a glossy, purple glint on the bottom. A closer look revealed it to be a hole oozing purple liquid - a hole that could perfectly fit the end of a Wurmple’s stinger. “That... No... That can’t be right...” I reassured myself, getting a bit lightheaded. “Hudson wouldn’t do that...” Suddenly I felt very exposed in the middle of this clearing. I glanced all around me at the perimeter, afraid I would see a Wurmple sneaking toward me with a threatening look in his eyes. I mean, this couldn’t have been him. He wouldn’t have poisoned me. He was an explorer after all; he had an explorer’s bag and a guild badge and everything.<br/><br/>	...<br/><br/>	A guild badge... He did <span class=""bb-i"">actually</span> have a guild badge... Didn’t he?</div>"

She frowned before going to try to use her light chains at the legs of the guildmaster, not aiming for damage right now, knowing she could not do much for this, but more like entangling them and trying to make him fall down on the floor and trying to stop him from moving so he would take more and more damage cause of those chemicals. Celina just hoped that it would work out well and that the damage would be high enough to possibly knock him out, cause considering the damage he was able to ditch out to everyone,  the last thing she needed is one stronger version of the move and everyone getting knocked out or something, which would be really bad for them and that client.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>Eralion saw the box that the throw left for Bonnie, and looked confused before he heard what Bonnie said.

As a steel Pokemon I've known nothing but cold and ice for the last day or so. Kamina raged and burned like a furnace unaware of the concept of ice, and it was really beginning to unnerve a bunch of the ice Pokemon. I swore one of them flinched as he swaggered and leapt with his tail on his back-<br/><br/>In hindsight, leaving might've been a bad idea. With that said, we could definitely handle things on our own, at least until Reshiram was bought out like the legend he was. Plus, Ice against steel? I could probably cover for them all, even I was a little smaller.<br/><br/>I had to act quickly though, almost witnessing a wake with Anthony narrowly edging away from an ice beam. Thank goodness these Pokemon couldn't hit a slug, let alone a floating Pokemon. That wasn't to say their aim was terribly off, in fact Anthony was ridiculously lucky. Scrunching my face and blinking hard, I swept around swiftly with unnatural speed, eyeing as many Glalie and Froslass as I could. They were scattered around with sometimes two-to-one Pokemon, the odd Kadabra particularly drawing attention with a mirage (or barrage, trying to remember that gives me a headache) of spoons. As Kamina scampered off to retrieve Reshiram's ass I tried to stick around as many of them as I could, wavering around in mid-air between very angry Pokemon, taking a few hits there and here but never knocking me out of my stride. I was particularly lucky to get it timed with Josh's Sludge Bombs as they began to rain down like well-placed artillery, just as I started to draw attention to myself with glares and a couple of Ice Beam attacks gleaming across my metal chassis. As painful as it was with a bitter biting at my metal coating, the payback came with an immense discharge of sparkling electricity coursing around me and whipping every bit of their nerves. Soon with spread-out magnets came the lovely dance of yellow bolts and sizzling poisonous firecrackers.<br/><br/>Reckless, covered in various poisonous purple juices, and it probably didn't knock even one of them down. I definitely had their attention though, carefully backing off while they were still recovering.</div>"

Hudson was nowhere to be seen, but in my mind every tiny rustle or crack was him coming to finish me off. The poison wasn’t helping matters either; my head felt like it was in a blender, and I had only just managed to shake off the double vision.<br/><br/>	“Okay... Just calm down...” I told myself, closing my eyes to take a deep breath in... and slowly letting it out. I checked my surroundings again. “Why would he do that to me?” As much as I wanted to find out the answer, I knew I had to focus on surviving first. If he really did this, then I needed to get out of here. Fighting to keep my balance, I stumbled over to the plants and entered the path towards the town. Getting back in this state would be a challenge, but I didn’t have a choice.<br/><br/>	The river came into view sooner than I expected; had he been leading me in circles the whole time? The log, however, was nowhere to be seen. I began walking alongside the river, hoping I was heading in the right direction. If not, I’d still be getting farther from Hudson. Before long, something in a bush up ahead caught my eye. It was pink, and didn’t look unlike a Pecha Berry...<br/><br/>	“Ohhh, no! Ya just hold up a sec!” Hudson dove through a bush between me and the Pecha Berries, stumbling and landing on his face. “I didn’t drag ya out here just so ya could scamper off back to town!” He yelled as though he was reprimanding a child. I instinctively stepped back. It took all my willpower to keep from running away.<br/><br/>	“I thought we were friends; you poisoned me, didn’t you!?” I knew the answer but wanted to hear it from his own mouth to be sure.<br/><br/>	“And it looks like it’s comin’ along darn well, too.” He replied proudly, noting how pale I had become. His eyes moved down to the money I was keeping safe.<br/><br/>	“Is that what this is about? My money?”<br/><br/>	“I’ve gotta make a livin’ somehow. Course, I wasn’t planning on draggin’ ya out here, but, ya know, one thing lead to another. Yer bag was useless, but the Poké yer carryin’ was just too good to pass up. Speakin’ of which...” He held out his arm for the money.<br/><br/>	“So, it was you? You have my bag?” I asked, trying to stall while I thought of a plan. “Where is it?<br/><br/>	He patted the oversized explorer’s bag sitting at his side. I knew I was at a disadvantage; the poison put battling out of the question. However, I still had some leverage over him. If I was careful, I might be able to get my items back.<br/><br/>	“A stick was in my bag. Do you still have it?”<br/><br/>	There was a confused grumble from Hudson as he undid the buckle on his bag and pulled out the sharp stick without taking his eyes off me. “I haven’t got around to throwin’ it away yet,” he taunted, holding it as though it were a piece of rubbish.<br/><br/>	“I’ll make a deal with you. Hand over the stick, and I’ll give you the money.”<br/><br/>	“Ha! Yer really not in any position to-“<br/><br/>	He halted mid-sentence as I held the money over the river, ready to drop it at a moment’s notice. Scowling, he tossed the stick at my feet.<br/><br/>	“And my bag,” I added hastily.<br/><br/>	“The money first. Yer already pushin’ yer luck, kid.”<br/><br/>	Even with my stick as a weapon, I was still too weak from the poison to attack him. Seeing no other option, I tossed Hudson the money.<br/><br/>	“And I was beginnin’ to think ya were smart.” He greedily scooped it into his bag, still watching me.<br/><br/>	“My stuff, then?”<br/><br/>	“Now I know I said yer bag was useless, but there’s always someone out there willin’ to buy,” Hudson explained, taking a seed out of his bag then buckling it closed. By the time I realized what he was doing it was already too late. The moment Hudson bit the seed, he vanished.</div>"

All of this was while Kamina, M, and the mystery Kadabra were running a distraction, though, if the ice types were all down by the time I got back, I wouldn't be surprised. ""Right, on it!"" I said to Josh with a mock salute before sliding off into the previous room to look around the place... for a while, all I could see was a blanket of snow on the icy floor, and the almost blinding light coming off of the icy walls surrounding the room, but, eventually, I noticed a small lump in the snow, and headed over to it, only to get ambushed by a graveler, who tried to attack me with rollout... a lucky dodge stopped the attack from hitting me, thankfully, and then I tried to dig the thing out as fast as I could, which, it turns out, wasn't that fast, since another rollout was aimed at me before I could get it. This time, however, I wasn't expecting it, and I took... oddly little damage despite the icy floor speeding up, and probably powering up the attack. The berry in hand, I used muddy water just before I left, probably knocking out the graveler, and then I finally returned to Josh. ""I... I got one, I think..."" I said to him as I held out the obviously frozen berry. I figured a layer of ice wouldn't really be too much of an obstacle for a pokemon that can just create fire, so I didn't really bother thawing it out, myself, and thankfully, by the time I got back, Reshiram was past the archway and in the middle of the fight, breathing fire on the enemy ice types... yeah, the fight was pretty much over by then.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[""Magma""]<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">I really hope I see that town, soon...</span> I thought as I tried to hurry through the forest, and, while I scurried around, I caught bits of a conversation between a gible and a wurmple... at first, it seemed like the two were on a team, however, at some point, the wurmple led the gible over a river, and to a clearing that was probably far enough away from civilization for him to try what he did... he tried to KILL the poor dragon type with his poison, though, the dragon type resisted it, and only passed out, thankfully... what wasn't so lucky was that the wurmple decided to just steal everything the gible had on him... no, I wasn't going to let this kind of thing stand. That wasn't the wurmple's stuff! He shouldn't take it! As soon as I was able, I leapt from my hiding place, and spewed forth an ember attack, hoping to knock the thing out in one hit, and or burn it, though, unfortunately, neither thing happened, and while I got him to drop some of the gible's coins, he ate some weird seed and just teleported away immediately after. ""Agh... we can't let this stand! Mister Gible, we have to find him, and fight him! That guy has all your stuff,"" I said to the gible... and then I realized that I never introduced myself, and I added ""Uh... my name's Magma... I'm from the Ashen Volcano, a fire-type mystery dungeon,"" after that, I shook his hand, as I've learned that most civilized pokemon do when they meet each other, and then I got a vision... one of a garchomp holding off a horde of enemies with a spear, one that even had a metal spearhead, while a salazzle lay there, unconscious... <span class=""bb-i"">I... really hope that never ends up happening...</span> I thought to myself, knowing full well who that salazzle was, and if the garchomp was using the spear, rather than moves, it HAD to be a desperate situation... maybe, just maybe this vision won't come true... I really hope won't, at any rate.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	The guildmaster tried to use double-edge on me, but, Celina's chains finally came in handy in this fight, causing him to trip and fall... even if it didn't seem like much trouble for him, given that he somehow used his agility and grace to make it look like an acrobatics trick, it DID still stop him from attacking us. ""Whew... that was close,"" I said as I used coil again, only to see the guildmaster heal from his wish... and then try to set up another one for later. I could hear Nina screaming in rage, by now, even if I was across the room from her, and she just seemed to LOSE it as she put herself right in front of the guildmaster and kept trying to poison sting him, as rapidly as she could, all while shouting about how we're never going to knock this guy out... I would have tried to calm her down, but something told me that she wasn't going to listen to me at this point, anyways, especially since she didn't seem to be listening to Rebecca, who was trying to calm her down, herself. Of course, all of that ended with Nina taking a hyper voice right to the ears, at point-blank range, flinging her backwards and knocking her out. <span class=""bb-i"">I guess he countered all her shouting with a shout of his own... I'm sure Vine would have had some joke about some human video game if he were here...</span> I thought as I just bode my time, using coil one more to increase my stats yet again... next turn, that's when I was going to do something.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	The guildmaster, who was already on fire, and covered in acidic chemicals ended up tripping... and then doing a double front flip to a somersault and then even finishing it off by showing off that he was just fine... ""I guess he's not the type to just 'fall' is he?"" Rebecca said to me, causing me to shrug before I saw the guildmaster heal... and then pray again. No, I was NOT going to get caught in this loop, I was NOT going to just have him heal every other turn, this was NOT going to happen... of course, that's what I thought I said, but it came out as ""AAAAAGH! F*** THAT HEALING S***!"" instead, despite me having never sworn before in my life. In my rage, I jumped right in front of the guildmaster, and tried to use poison sting as if it was also the move fury swipes. ""Uh, Nina, I get that there's a practical use for rage in combat, but I really don't think this is the time for that,"" Rebecca warned as I continued on. ""Nina, you're not tough enough to JUST stand in front of this guy, he's going to-"" she didn't even finish her warning the second time as my ears were blasted, and my body was flung backwards from a hyper voice attack... one that I could have prevented if I had kept a cool head... welp. I tried to move, I tried to speak, but nope, I was knocked out... that attack hurt me way too much... and I might even be deaf once I wake up from this... great, that's what we need, right? A deaf party member? I kept going over what I could have done differently in that scenario, and pretty much every alternate scenario started with me not going into full rage mode... for example, there was a loose ceiling tile I probably could have told someone about, and there were a few wire things that had sparks coming off of them... that might have helped... and if that failed, there was a heavy bookcase behind me that we might have been able to use.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini said something about me now having a stalker, and while I was about to point out that using that move was NECESSARY to get across that chasm the first time, I was interrupted by Eralion mumbling something about how that throh shouldn't 'try anything'... when did HE become interested in me? <span class=""bb-i"">Maybe Tini's right... Eralion has clearly seen me use that move too many times, and it's making him slowly go crazy...</span> I thought as I continued following that throh, who thankfully didn't get too far. He approached me as soon as he saw me, and once he got to me, he decided to give me a BIG, almost painful hug ""So... ack... how did you get across here?"" I managed to ask through his aggressive hugging. My question caused him to stop hugging and just lead me, and, I assume, the rest of my team to what appeared to be a hidden door... he then gestured for me to try to touch it, and, it didn't seem to respond. Confused, he tried it, himself, and the hidden door just flung open... did that mean that the door would ONLY open for pokemon that lived in this dungeon? How would it even know? Heck, there are some teams that have a bunch of pokemon from different dungeons, if they brought a teammate that they recruited here, would THEY be able to use this door? Either way, the door led to a passageway that led right to the other side of the chasm, where we could now look for a certain villain's hiding spot.</div>"

The Guildmaster used Hyper Voice again, hitting Nina the hardest because of how close she was.<br/><br/>   Trying to ignore the ringing in his ears, Dexter rushed back towards his fallen comrade. She'd been completely knocked out, but luckily, she was still breathing. ""Oh, you're gonna regret that one, motherfucker!"" He growled, turning back towards the Guildmaster.

Those words that filled him with unending rage. He charged through the forest, leaving a path of trampled shrubs and snapped branches in his wake. Once he saw something moving out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly stopped. It was a Weedle, one of the wild inhabitants of the forest. Before the poor thing could react, Donovan ran forward, slamming into it with his head. Startled, the Weedle tried to use Poison Sting, only for it to bounce harmlessly off of the Aron's armour. ""Nyaaaaaaaagh!"" Letting out a war cry, Donovan charged at the Weedle again, this time pinning it to a tree and knocking it out.<br/><br/>   He wasn't done yet. No, not until every single Pokemon in this forest felt his wrath. Hearing something nearby, he quickly charged towards the source; A flock of Fletchlings that flew out of Donovan's reach before he could get to them. As he looked up at them, he remembered something he'd seen in the arena. One of his favorite fighters, Juggernaut the Conkeldurr, knocked a Flygon from the sky with his signature move, the Titanic Lunge. It was just what Donovan needed! ""If you won't come down and fight, then I'll just use my TITANIC LUNGE!"" He was expecting to launch himself into the air and slam each and every Fletchling into the ground, but unfortunately for him, that didn't happen. Instead, he made it about a foot off the ground, before dropping right back down, landing on his face. ""Ow..."" He stumbled back onto his feet, still a little bit shaken.<br/><br/>   The flock of bird Pokemon had lost interest at this point and started to fly away, but Donovan chased after them. ""Get back here! Fight with honour!"" He shouted, but they were long gone by then. Searching for a new Pokemon to challenge he saw two off in the distance near a river. It looked like a Salandit and a Gible. While any normal Pokemon would immediately be able to tell that these two weren't wild, Donovan hadn't realized this quite yet. ""Nyaaaaaaaagh!"" Letting out his signature war cry yet again, he charged towards the duo. Going for the Salandit first, he dug some dirt out of the ground, and used Mud Slap.</div>"

It had a pink head and a lavender body, unlike the dull gray of most Salandit. Hudson lost a few coins in the confusion before vanishing as he ate a seed. I raised my stick in self-defense, expecting the Salandit to turn on me.<br/>	“Agh... We can’t let this stand!” The Salandit said, to my surprise, “Mister Gible, we have to find him, and fight him! That guy has all your stuff!”<br/><br/>	A stunned expression had painted itself onto my face. I didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, there was a Salandit standing where Hudson had been only a moment ago, offering to help get my items back exactly as he had done. Apparently, the Salandit noticed they hadn’t introduced themselves yet.<br/>	“Uh... My name’s Magma... I’m from the Ashen Volcano, a fire-type mystery dungeon.”<br/>	He didn’t say if he was from a guild. Was that a good thing or a bad thing? Hudson had claimed to be from Allure Town’s guild, but at least this Pokémon wasn’t trying to convince me one way or another.<br/>	“I’m Gavin. I’m from... up north.” I replied, cautiously shaking his hand. He seemed a bit robotic about it, almost like it was foreign to him. “Are you offering to help me go after Hudson? Er - that Wurmple from a moment ago?”<br/><br/>	I scarcely had time to finish my question before a war cry rang out through the trees. “Nyaaaaaaaagh!” An Aron ran towards us, throwing a handful of mud. It wore red war paint on its face an had a violent look in its eyes. I stumbled out of the way as it focused its attacks on the Salandit, giving me a chance to sneak around and steal a pecha berry from the bush. Instantly, warmth filled my body as my head stopped spinning. I felt as though I could take on the world, though that idea quickly dissipated when I looked back at the Aron. As intimidating as it was, I should still help the Salandit; it did seem like he tried to save me from Hudson. I ran towards the Aron and jabbed at it with my stick, hoping to give Magma an opening to attack.</div>"

Reshiram stomped on through to breathe fire on anyone stupid enough to mess with us, taking out his anger of being stuck on the dungeon Pokemon. I'll admit the heat got me sweating, somehow. The fire only left the ice underneath a bit glazed though, reminding us we still had a big guy to take down at the end. For now, most of us were keen to wait around and recover a bit, the ambush having left a heavy toll on almost everyone involved. <br/><br/>I hovered over to Anthony and Josh, noticing a good amount of frost and white coating on Anthony's helmet. He certainly didn't look alive, yet still had enough strength to hold out a berry in his shivering arms/tentacles(?) ""You know... it might have been a good idea for Reshiram to stay behind."" A bit reserved, I spoke calmly towards the pair, though mainly addressing Anthony. ""Assuming he isn't knocked out by something arbitrary or trapped again, he probably needs to save his strength for Kyreum."" I kept my magnets close-by as I kept an eye on Reshiram, who appeared as though something out of a medieval tale to the fleeing ice Pokemon. No need to feel alarmed for now, seeing as we can probably breathe a bit, now that we had a Legendary in the same room as us. However, I could tell everyone was feeling a bit unnerved for the next fight, just another dark tunnel away into whatever awaits us, on the opposite side of the ice dome. Just thinking about it made my eye twitch.</div>"

While they did that, I tried to think, and it seemed like I wasn't the only one, with Rebecca also seemingly taking this turn off, as well. I noticed that one of the ceiling tiles was loose, as well, and I headed over to tell her, only to have the guildmaster use double-edge on me, again, dealing... less damage than I thought it would. Oh, right, I've kind of been increasing my defense... though, this seemed to confuse the guildmaster more than it confused me, since he took a few steps back, and just sort of let me continue walking to her. Leech life then gave me some of my health back, and I asked ""Hey, Reb, one of those ceiling tiles is loose... do you think you can take it off, and use that to attack, or something?"" I then used coil as I continued to wait... of course, since the guildmaster was still moving around, that meant that while he did smash into the bookcase, he didn't do so with enough strength to tip it over, unfortunately, so he was still mobile. I then looked over to see our client trying to tip over the bookcase with his psychic powers, however, the guildmaster didn't seem to be close enough for that to do anything, anymore. ""Wait a bit! Don't do that, bronzor! He's not close enough to the bookcase!"" Rebecca seemingly shouted at the greenish blue coin pokemon, who was still trying to tip over the bookcase, unfortunately.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[""Magma""]<br/><br/>	Before I even finished introducing myself, an aron just appeared from nowhere, and blinded me with mud. ""Gah, what was that!? Who are you? What are you doing? Are you working for that evil bug!?"" I managed to shout while he was attacking me... soon enough, I managed to wipe off some of the mud, only to see the gible, who had recently introduced himself as 'Gavin' poking at the metal monster with a stick. I then took a moment to think... I didn't have much in the way of poison, but, just as well, he was immune to it, anyways... right? Scratch wouldn't do much, if anything... that left me with the neutrally-effective ember, and a not-very-effective confusion. I could always hope to confuse him with confusion, though, after all, it IS in the move's name... but, the burn from Ember might be better. After those thoughts, I decided to try to burn him first, and confuse him, later, shooting some embers at the aron, and hopefully not catching Gavin's stick on fire. ""Gavin... uh... maybe we should head out of this place once we're done with this guy, he's kind of tough,"" I said to Gavin after shooting my embers at the aron... I didn't feel all that confident in fighting him after he used that ground move on me.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Upon seeing my pecha berry, Reshiram thanked me and just ate it from my hands... I guess he WAS poisoned, after all. It also seemed like the rest of the team had a good idea, just take this time to finally take a breather before the final fight with Kyurem. I decided to make my way towards Josh, who still looked a bit worried for some reason. ""We're almost done, Josh... I think we can do this, I think we can save your girl,"" I then gave him a pat on the back to try to encourage him while M voiced his concerns about Reshiram... I shook my head and responded with ""Well, honestly, he's our best bet, M. If he's not in the fight, then that fight just got a WHOLE lot more difficult... oh, you mean we should have left him back there while we fought off the ice types? Yeah... it didn't seem like he took a lot of damage, though, if any,"" I, unfortunately, only realized what he meant halfway through my own response. After that, I walked up to the kadabra who helped us a few moments ago, and I asked ""How and why are you here helping us? I don't even know your name,"" the kadabra shrugged his shoulders, and simply said ""Well, I don't quite know how I got there, specifically, myself. As I said, I was teleporting through the maze when I contacted you guys for help... oh, and, I suppose I should tell you that my name is Devon,"" Both Daniel and I seemed hesitant to trust him, but, we both shook his hand, and I said ""Welcome to team Scarab, I guess,""<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	For some reason, Tini kept saying the word 'Tingle' over and over, again, but, we ended up on the other side of the chasm, with the Throh waving goodbye to us, and just waiting by the door, probably assuming we'll end up going back that way. ""So... onward to find this guy's hideout?"" I asked my team as I tried my best to look around in the cave for any sort of scratches on the floor, or any sort of door hinges on the wall... and while I looked, a few fighting types decided to try to ambush me. A sawk, a hawlucha and a meinshao were all there, and they were all ready to fight the three of us. Thankfully, it seemed like Tini's fairy moves would come in handy, here, since all of them were weak to the stuff. I, however, tried to think of a move to hurt them, and while Jump Kick came to mind, I decided against it, given that these pokemon looked quick, and missing with a jump kick would NOT be good, however, Dizzy Punch might work... wait, when did I learn that move? Either way, I used Dizzy punch on the meinshao, damaging it, and confusing both of us, since I still couldn't remember when I learned that move. It didn't FEEL like a new move, yet, I can't remember using it before now... weird. The sawk then tried to use Karate Chop on me, and I tried to get out of the way in time, but... it didn't happen, and I ended up taking the chop right to the face, almost knocking me out. ""Uh... guys? Little help, please?"" I asked my teammates, who were probably ready to do exactly that.</div>"

""We've already done this once. And this time we've got a legendary on our side."" He said, starting to think about their battle with Reshiram. It was won because of that one move. He'd seen Anthony use it before then as well, when they were fighting the first orb's guardian. As far as he knew, it wasn't something that Anthony had control over, but it didn't seem random, either. There had to be some way of triggering it, but how?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   Though the guildmaster did fly into the bookcase, it wasn't enough to knock it on top of him. Still, Dexter was determined. He waited for a chance to knock him into the bookshelf again, but then the Bronzor decided to try tipping it over while the guildmaster was nowhere near it. He had a feeling that Rebecca's protests wouldn't do much to stop him, so he took things into his own hands... or paws, in this case. Rushing forwards, he sunk his teeth into the guildmaster's arm, trying to pull him towards the bookcase. Seeing the pink one with the ribbons nearby, he looked at her, then looked at the bookcase.

As he landed, he felt the heat of flames on his backside, and though he hadn't been burned, it clearly did a fair bit of damage. ""Fire only makes my rage burn even hotter!"" He shouted, charging towards the source of the fiery attack.</div>"

I replied to Magma, trying to block the Aron’s flailing attacks with my arms. I pulled my stick away as Magma's Ember came dangerously close to catching it on fire, then the Aron changed course to target him while screaming something about their rage. They were probably working as Hudson's backup. Battling was out of the question; their armor was too tough for my stick to scratch, and they came at us with such ferocity that I'd be worried making Magma fight alone. Even with Ember it would be difficult for him to get enough hits in before getting mauled, assuming Magma wasn’t working for Hudson, too...<br/>	Come to think of it, it seemed suspicious for Magma to have come just as Hudson teleported away. Getting away now might be my best option, but if I was wrong I’d hate to think what would happen with him going up against the Aron all by himself.<br/>	""Hey!"" I yelled, hoping the maniac wouldn't leap at me again, ""He's gone! Hudson's gone - he's probably leaving the forest right now with your money! You’re not gonna get paid if you don't go after him for it!""<br/>	I technically wasn’t lying, because Hudson would probably try and scam his hired help anyway. With luck, the Aron might hesitate long enough for Magma and I to get away. I glanced at Magma then at the dense plants nearby, hoping he'd get the message.</div>"

He was NOT going to let them hurt Bonnie again, that is for sure. Those god dang fighting types. He saw what Tini was doing. At least one of them probably will be hurt a lot by this.

Spruce got roughed up rather badly for us and I had no idea how he was doing. (I think he was fine last I heard, though it's been a while.) I lifted my dented bronze(?) badge with my magnet and pondered if I could get a message through, maybe even teleport back... but my new teammates desperately need me. Although loyalty and concern were strangely new concepts to me, I had nowhere else to go. Spruce and his team pretty much represented all that I had left, since my old village hated tin-cans like me and Davis was nowhere to be found.<br/><br/>I quickly lightened up from my internalised dreary scowl though, spying Reshiram chew on a berry from Anthony's little pseudopods. He wasn't well but it looked silly for what was essentially a deity to eat what he probably saw as 'mortal' food. I looked away to spot the Kadabra friendly engagement with the others. If it were up to me (and I'm not even part of Team Scarab), I wouldn't have let some stranger join immediately. They did come in with a last-minute save though, and they looked pretty useful for the fight with Kyreum.<br/><br/>""So... when are we doing this? Every second here is another second wasted for the townsfolk."" I asked Anthony, a little anxious but determined to get things over with. Kamina was rearing to go, Josh was kind of stuck in his thoughts, and the rest were presumably lined up to kick ass.

She took her earlier suggestion and focused on the ceiling tile, prying it from its home and sending it flying down towards the guildmaster’s head. She pulled a feint, stopping at the last moment, before moving it around to to the side and slamming it into the side of his face, sending him towards the bookcase.<br/><br/>“Get clear,” Rebecca announced. “I’m gonna bring it down!” She nodded towards her client and tried to work him as she focused her psychic powers on what had become a ridiculously important piece of furniture.

I didn't want to just leave him alone, and I figured he wouldn't be able to move away from said bookcase without our help, so I had everyone wait for him to wake up, just in case that made him sane, again... well... MORE sane, anyways. Nina woke up first, and she tried to poison sting whomever was next to her, which as far as I knew was nobody, and she rejoined the group, saying ""I... um... sorry I lost it back there. I should try to keep my calm better,"" She then hung her head, and walked over to Rebecca and Dexter. Just waiting like this gave me some time to remember just how cold the weird floor was in this place, and how... oddly white most of the furniture, even the bookcase we toppled over was. There was a small candle, one that looked to be made by a pokemon, rather than a human, sitting on a nearby table... it was giving off the only light in this room, and it just barely lit up the guildmaster's face, at this point. My thoughts were cut short when the guildmaster finally woke up, and asked ""Ugh... guh... friends? Where are my... friends?"" he must have meant the rest of his guild, but it was clear he was still out of it.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	I, of course, smiled back at Josh, and noticed that Kamina was already leaving... as were both Devon and Daniel... who was perched on Devon's shoulder. M asked me when we were going to leave to fight Kyurem, and I answered ""Right now, I guess, let's go,"" I then tried my best to look heroic for a moment before sliding along behind my teammates. Reshiram seemed to bring up the rear, and we soon found ourselves in a large, cavernous, ice-covered room with icicles bigger than me hanging off of the high ceiling. Some weird crystal was on a pedestal behind Kyurem, who seemed to have a shadowy aura surrounding him... the legendary ice type then roared, and a few icicles fell from the ceiling, thankfully not hitting anyone, and after Reshiram tried his best to try to talk sense into his brother, I just used dragonbreath on him, dealing... less damage than I had hoped. Daniel then slammed into him with a shadow tackle, and Devon used his psybeam, both of which seemed to at least do some damage, but he was obviously still going strong. Once he realized talking wasn't going to work, Reshiram used Fusion Flare on Kyurem, who responded with a blizzard, aiming to hit everyone, and probably knock out a few of us. I wasn't prepared for that, my entire life flashed before my eyes as I watched, helplessly... I thought it was going to be over for me, however, a wall of fire appeared, and stopped the blizard in its tracks. I looked over to Reshiram after that, and he just smiled at me, as if he was the one who did that. I tried to thank him, but I was still too stunned to do so.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[""Magma""]<br/><br/>	The aron just charged at me after claiming that fire only makes him stronger, and I had to act... quick. I focused, and tried to steer him off course with a confusion attack before jumping back, and in a direction away from him... if only I was capable of learning smokescreen, that would have helped this situation out a LOT. I then went over my moves, again... scratch wouldn't even leave a scratch, no pun intended, on this rocky, metallic beast, poison gas wouldn't work against something like this, ember would at least do neutral damage, and confusion, while not very effective, would at least have a chance to make him attack the trees instead of me or Gavin. I then noticed Gavin looking at the thick plants... I think he was implying we should use this moment of possible confusion to escape, and I couldn't have agreed more, so I darted off while he... hopefully stumbled around in confusion for a bit. Once we were away from the aron, I asked ""So... what was up with that bug guy? Why did he betray you like that?"" of course, I asked that while I was out of breath... salandit weren't exactly known for their stamina, more so their running speed. Of course, I tried to keep going at a pace that I HOPED would be enough to get us out of this forest without the aron knowing, but I had my doubts he wouldn't catch up to us at some point.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The enemies seemed to freak out once Tini started blasting fairy wind at them, and one of them even fainted from that. One of them then tried to attack me with a karate chop, however, Eralion was in the way, so he took the attack, instead, and finished off another one of them with the resulting counter. I then finished the last of the three off with a dizzy punch. It was nice to have a good, reliable move, for once. ""So... onward, team?"" I asked, somewhat jokingly... huh... is this what it's like being in a good mood? It felt weird, but I continued the search... for a few seconds when I noticed that they were actually guarding the entrance to some sort of hidden area, and the scratches on the floor proved it. I thought for a moment, and then tried to just knock on the wall, and, surprisingly, it actually opened up to reveal a gallade... a familiar gallade who seemed to glare at me the moment he saw me. ""YOU..."" he started to say before I interrupted him with ""By order of Wally's guild, you are hereby arrested!"" I then used his moment of surprise against him as I punched him a couple of times with dizzy punch. His slurred speech meant that the confusion part seemed to actually work, and I tried attract, but... for some odd reason, it failed? Huh... never had that happen, before. The gallade then tried to attack the wall with close combat while saying ""Goodnight moon June, jay, ja-june..."" I don't think even HE knew what he meant by that, and he wasted a move on the wall, as well.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	Eventually, I woke back up from being fainted, only to see that they easily defeated the guildmaster without me. I sighed, and looked down as I walked towards the group, I then apologized for being dumb, back there, and headed specifically towards Rebecca and Dexter. ""So... let's hope he's fine when he wakes up, huh? D-don't want him to start attacking us, again,"" I point out as I realize that we're waiting for the guildmaster to wake up, and wake up he did. He wearily asked where his friends are, and I answered with ""Most of them are back at the guild, but uh... we're here, guildmaster, sir,"" the guildmaster seemed to laugh at that, and with a bit of help, he wiggles free of the bookcase. Once he's free, of course, the first thing he does is strike a ridiculous pose, and shout ""Guildmaster Wally is ON THE CASE!"" as if that solved all of our problems... then again, he WAS a fairy type, and a strong one, at that, so... maybe that DID help solve our problems. I then tried to explain what we were doing, and he nods... and after a while, I start hearing him snoring... wait, he wasn't nodding because he was listening, he was literally nodding off! No wonder Charlie's so stressed out, he has to deal with this sort of thing all the time.</div>"

He used confusion on the Aron, and I grabbed the coins Hudson had dropped before we escaped into the bushes. I was surprised at how fast Magma could run; it was difficult keeping up at first. Before long, though, he looked to be out of breath, so I slowed down and stopped soon after.<br/>	""So..."" Magma said in between breaths, ""What was up with that bug guy? Why did he betray you like that?""<br/>	I sat down, frustrated with my own stupidity. The only items I had left were my stick and the few coins Magma had knocked out of Hudson's hand. ""I'm an idiot, that's why,"" I said more to myself than anyone, ""I was in the town nearby and put down my bag for a second. I guess I wasn't thinking. That Wurmple, Hudson, he took it while I wasn't looking. And me being the idiot I am, believed him when he said he was an explorer who'd help get my stuff back.""<br/>	I glanced up at Magma then pretended to be more interested in a leaf on the ground, too embarrassed with myself to make eye contact. ""Anyway, I still had the money from my bag, so he lured me in here and took that, too. I managed to get this back, though."" I held up the stick. To me, it was one of the most important items I owned. It reminded me of the practice battles my friend and I used to have and made me feel like I could take on the world, despite how bad I am at battling without it. Even Hudson didn't seem that intimidating when I had this.<br/>	""Thanks for your help back there, but can I ask you something?"" I stood up, looking at my stick in both hands then to Magma. ""I know you just met me, so you can say no if you want, but I really want to go after Hudson. I don't think I can do it by myself."" If Magma agreed, I might still have a chance at getting my stuff back. Hudson couldn't have gone far with the warp seed he ate, but I still had no idea how we'd be able to find him in this forest.</div>"

The Blizzard that he sent towards them threatened to knock out most of them, and probably would have if Reshiram's wall of flames hadn't stopped it. Though Reshiram could put a stop to Kyurem's attacks, this meant that he wouldn't have a lot of chances to use attacks of his own. It would be best to stay back and use long-ranged attacks, to make it easier for Reshiram to protect them.<br/><br/>   Apparently, Kamina hadn't realized this, because he immediately charged at the rampaging legendary. Though the Blizzard wasn't enough to stop him, there was no way that was Kyurem's only attack. ""Kamina, get back here!"" Josh shouted out to his teammate, but whether or not Kamina would listen to him was a different story.<br/><br/>   After aiming carefully to ensure he didn't hit Kamina, Josh began building up energy, before unleashing it in a powerful blast towards Kyurem. This was Dragon Pulse, a move that Josh had never used before now. Though it was a powerful attack, it would take a lot more than that to bring a legendary like Kyurem down.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Donovan]<br/>   The Salandit did something to Donovan. He wasn't sure what it was, but at that moment, he was hit with a sudden wave of dizziness. He quickly stumbled away from his intended target, instead hitting something else. Though he had no clue what it was, he began wildly slashing at it with Metal Claw, determined to take down this new opponent. It wasn't until his head cleared that he realized he wasn't attacking a Pokemon, but a small shrub, which had now been reduced to a pile of twigs and leaves.<br/><br/>   The Gible and Salandit were nowhere to be found. No matter how hard he looked, Donovan couldn't find any trace of them. ""Cowards! You dare run from a fight?"" Donovan shouted, receiving no response. With no way of knowing where they went, all he could do was head in the direction his instincts were telling him to go.<br/><br/>   His instincts were wrong. As he came upon a small cliff, he peered over the edge, and while he didn't see those two Pokemon from before, he did find a new opponent. This time it was a Wurmple, who was carrying some kind of bag with him. The drop was short enough that it wouldn't hurt him, so he used this opportunity to try out yet another attack he'd seen in the Colosseum. ""METEOR... STRIKE!"" He called out, before leaping off the side of the cliff, aiming to land on the Wurmple down below. <br/><br/>   Just like last time, though, it didn't work out like he'd planned. Not only did he completely miss, but he'd also landed on his back. As much as he tried to flip himself over, the spike on his backside had been driven into the ground. Even worse, that  ""Nyaaaaaaaagh!"" Donovan's cries echoed through the forest. ""This means nothing! A tiny insect like you is still no match for me!"" He couldn't see where exactly the Wurmple was, so he began swiping his limbs through the air, hoping to hit him with Metal Claw if he happened to be close enough.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   With the bookshelf brought down onto the Guildmaster's head, the fight was over. ""So, what made the Guildmaster go apeshit?"" Dexter asked. He seemed to have come to his senses at that point, which was good news. It meant that whatever it was, it wasn't permanent.

But it was hard to use the stars during the day, and in this strange and new land, harder to figure out where the stars were. In other words, Gren was lost. <font color=""#00a651"">""Gaaaaah! I knew I should've gotten a map!""</font> The young aron flopped down as he groaned and moaned. In the last town he was at he could've brought a map with his meager amount of poke, but he was saving it specifically because he was still confident in his navigational skills. The people at the town even told him which way to go in order to find the Allure Town. Just cut through the Birchwood Forest. But that was yesterday. Gren had been in these forest for at least a day, and he hasn't even found the place he started.<br/><br/>At least his father's survivals skills came in handy. Gren was able to sustain himself on some berries, as well as drinking the natural mineral water. Water normally too impure for regular pokemon to eat, but for someone like Gren, a bit of toxic water rich in iron was nothing for him. Still Gren didn't have any plans to live as a hermit in the Birchwood. He needed to find his way back to civlization! And so the young aron would continue onwards, hoping to find at least someone who could direct him out from these woods. That's when he heard some voices nearby. It was hard to pinpoint exactly, but there was at least two. Hopeful, the green-eyed aron rushed to find them. He found a gible and a sandlit. <font color=""#00a651"">""Finally!

Although we weren't strangers to beating the crap out of legendary Pokemon, they wouldn't simply let us waltz in and trash them. After all, we've been whittled down in this frozen hell, and now we're stepping into the devil's chamber.<br/><br/>Which honestly looked rather unremarkable; as we strolled in a group preparing for a fight, all the scary icy stalactites looked just the same as the previous thousand we saw earlier, and the chamber was as detailed as a canvas with blue spilled all over it. It was almost as if Kyreum ate ice all evening in a certain radius whilst waiting for us. The only eye-catching detail was the floating MacGuffin that bore no importance to anyone here... well, except to Kamina and I. Before I was able to preach the importance of taking that thing, Reshiram thought it best to talk to his brother. Forgive my condescending tone, but he might as well been talking to a purple snowflake with teeth. Who happened to grunt at every inflection in Reshiram's words. I'd describe it but - a) I can't remember his weird choice of words, and b) I need to narrate quickly.<br/><br/>Then he attempted to impale us on those hanging stalactites, which actually were scary once they started dropping like knives on the command of his stomp. I narrowly avoiding being skewered by a stalactite as it whizzed past my eye - there was to be no quarter given it seemed. Almost immediately following that, the chamber turned into an echoing chorus of fighting and light. At least four of us got an attack in before Kyreum roared at his loudest, sending a violent wave of jagged ice and sharp wind towards us all. I was prepared to stand my ground personally even if my teammates went down, both magnets swung up to my face. Yet, Reshiram with a swish of his head immediately blocked and shielded the attack, fogging up my eye and saving us all from a quick end. Thanks to him there's a story to tell.<br/><br/>""Everyone alright?"" I yelled out, quickly spinning up my magnets and firing off a literal beam of light towards Kyreum. I didn't immediately investigate if he got harmed or gave him snow blindness, since I was trying to bark out orders. ""Okay, whatever you do, DO NOT destroy that crystal!"" I yelled out, seeing that Kyreum himself wasn't stepping too far from the floating void crystal.</div>"

Dazy and spinning and spurring around. “...and he - PTOOH! Sticks the landing!”. He’s quick to hop back up onto his feet, only before hopping back down, kissing the ground and the newspapers he’s landed on. Mid-paper-kiss, the Swampert brings the clipping up with him, quickly flipping through the various pages, skimming the works. “Words… words… words… gollicks, I can’t read a friggin’ thing, almost like I can’t see - SEE!” He brings the newspaper down below his eye-level, staring straight into the eyes of a Doduo, with the same look of surprise and bewilderment, sans the slightly crooked smile.<br/><br/>“H-ell-o! Breen! Breen Torrents, captain of Team Scooterz - well, ex-captain - and I’m a Swampert - well, obviously, you can see that, you’ve got two eyes…” Another blink. Blank stare from the Dodou’s head. Both heads. “...four… eyes? That doesn’t seem right… Well, that’s okay! I can stare both of you down easily, that’s fine when I’ve got four eyes two, see, glasses technically count - I’m blind without ‘em - literally, colorblind, can’t see color and - well, can’t see anything without them, really. Only if they’re on right. Believe it or not, I somehow forget sometimes. Put ‘em on upside down, backwards, forget them. It's like my baseball hat! Always backwards, never forwards. Sometimes. Really!” <br/><br/>The Dodou tilts both of it’s heads either way, completely and utterly confused at the events that transpired in front of it. <br/><br/>“Well, enough about me - what about you?” The bird motions to open it’s mouths, before Breen drops the newspaper, pressing a finger to each of its’ beaks. “Uhp, uhp, uhp! Don’t talk. I got this. I’ll answer it for you - you’re Cupri, and you’re the black sheep of the family because you’re special - you’re shiny! And today is the day that changes that - you try to make a statement, but can’t, and well, it gets all muddled - just because you don’t belong! Or think you don’t belong.

I’m a month early. Year early? Noooo, can’t be. That’d be…” <br/><br/>He flips his glasses off - his red and blue eyes shining, giving the Dodou another headturn, before flipping the specs right back on - color-coordinating. “I’m five years late. Well, five early if you account for the…” He glances back over at the Dodou, with it’s necks twisted around each other, cartoon birds flying above its head - confused. “Riiiiiight, sorry - uh, who’s in charge here? This is a guild, after all, so where’s your -” One last glance at the newspaper in front of him - large bold red letters - GUILDMASTER WALLY MISSING! <br/><br/>“Oh, crud… Guildmaster… Wally’s missing? Frig, do you know what this means?

'Cause if he could hit, right now, we'd all be done for...""<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[""Magma""]<br/><br/>	Almost as soon as I said it would take a while for him to get back here, I noticed an Aron heading towards us. ""GAH! HE'S BACK!"" I screamed before I noticed something... his eyes were green, not the usual blue, and I don't think he was wearing the scarf, or whatever the other one had. I still backed away, a little bit, and he seemed to ask how to get out of the woods. ""I'm sorry, I don't really know, myself, but uh... he should know,"" I then gestured for Gavin to answer him before I heard someone shouting something... something about a stupid broadcast message, and something about a guildmaster... hmm. ""Hey, Gavin... first of all, I'd absolutely LOVE to help you out with this 'Hudson' character, and on that subject... did Hudson have a badge with him? You said he tricked with something of the sort, that shouting might have been him!"" I then start to leave before I remember the other Aron, I then tell him ""Oh, uh, we're on our way to catch a no-good, dirty, rotten liar and a thief, who said he was a part of some guild, or something. He's a wurmple, so he's not THAT strong, but still... do you want to come with us for that? I... THINK he's on the way out of here,"" I then slowed down, just in case he answered 'yes'... didn't want to split up the group, right?<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	That blizzard told me, and everyone around me that ranged options were the best, and even so, I wouldn't want to put out our own flame shield with a muddy water, so... it seemed like I'd be using dragon breath, instead, and once I did that, I noticed Kyurem show a shadowy aura before trying to slash at Kamina, only for Daniel to take the hit, and counter with a foul play, using Kyurem's own power against him, and dealing a decent enough amount of damage... and while he probably just saved Kamina's skin, now HE was in serious danger from the next blizzard attack. ""Daniel! Kamina! Get back here, please!"" I shouted to them, not wanting this to happen, however, Daniel responded with ""No, sorry, not until Kamina gets back there! I can't leave him to take shadow damage like that!"" that response gave me a pit in my stomach, and it seems like Reshiram was still busy keeping the fire wall intact. At the very least, Devon was behind the wall, and using psybeam to deal some damage from a distance like the rest of us... hopefully were. Just about then, M shot out a beam of electricity that lit up the whole room, nearly blinding even me, and Kyurem seemed to be particularly effected by it... now, knowing M from this adventure, unfortunately, it wouldn't be easy to convince him to do that, again. </div>"

He'd most likely gotten used to being able to tank most attacks. That would explain his recklessness, at least. With everybody back behind the firewall, they were protected from a lot of Kyurem's attacks. That wall wouldn't stay up forever, though. They'd need a way to defeat Kyurem quicker. At their current pace, they'd be there for a while.<br/><br/>   Josh began to think. He'd considered using that ability Anthony had, but first he'd have to figure out what triggers it. He'd first used it after taking a kick to the head from that first orb's guardian. Then, it activated during their fight with Reshiram yesterday, when he'd gotten hit by that pillar. In both situations, he'd taken a blow to the head, but was that really the secret to activating his power?<br/><br/>   It was a risk, but Josh decided to take it. Using his psychic powers, he picked up one of the chunks of ice that had fallen from the ceiling earlier. <font color=""darkorchid"">""Anthony, I'm going to try something, and I need you to trust me.""</font> The chunk of ice floated toward Anthony, hovering over his head for a brief moment. <font color=""darkorchid"">""If this doesn't work, I am SO sorry.""</font> With that, using all of the strength he could muster, he slammed the chunk of ice down onto Anthony's head as hard as he possibly could.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><font color=""darkorange""><span class=""bb-b"">Dexter</span></font><br/>   The labels on the chemicals were very vague about what was actually in them.

You'd think they'd at least say what's in the damn things.""</font> Assuming they were all the same way, he let out a long sigh. <font color=""darkorange"">""This was a waste of time.""</font><br/><br/>   When Nina mentioned a piece of something, Dexter walked over, peering over her shoulder. <font color=""darkorange"">""A piece of what, now?""</font> Nina was holding Experiment 4, but unlike the other bottles, this one at least had something else written on it. 'Missingno. piece'... that meant this must be what they came here for. Dexter turned to their client. <font color=""darkorange"">""Is this what we're looking for? I want to get the fuck out of this place.""</font><br/><br/>   At that moment, he got a message on his badge.

The other aron was shouting threats and such, but it looked like the Wrumple was getting away. Gavin told Gren to go right, so Gren quickly made his way down the right side oft he wurmple as stealthy as he could. Once Gren was in position Gavin started to tussle with the wurmple over a bag. Gren got a bit closer, then tensed up his legs. A wurmple would be an easy prey for Gren, compared to all of those fighting pokemon who attacked his village! Once Gavin was out of the way, Gren suddenly burst forward like a bullet right towards the Wrumple.

Some could vapourise you with a thought alone. So, were we really in the throne of a god and living to tell the tale? It's an unbelievable tale for sure, but I doubt anyone will be able to match it in time. Maybe we just had a Legendary following us. Maybe we were Legendary.<br/><br/>Kyreum was an unrelenting beast, jacked up on whatever he was running on (ice, adrenaline, maybe even shadow formula). Yet, for every sharpened gust, pointed icicle or discoloured patch of reality, we would fight back and chip at his strength. Beams of light and thoughts were enough to make him blink, stumbling and incoherently stammering curses. There was a brief pause in the fight to take respite in, Reshiram's shield standing up for a bit longer without steaming us to death.<br/><br/>Frankly, I was delighted, with my eye 'smirking' under a ragged breath. Yes, we took hard hits. Yes, we returned pain with extreme prejudice. Yes, we turned on each other at the worst possible moment...<br/><br/>I am not kidding. When my eye jolted away from Kyreum and to Anthony, I thought Kyreum got lucky with a stray icicle and split his helmet open. Shock distracted me at first, seeing the ominous chunks of ice scattered around where Anthony was. Was he pancaked? Is he right behind an ice shard? Why was it floating for a split-second?<br/><br/>My smirk disappeared, eye sprung wide open and horrified. ""Wha... what?! Someone shove those off him!"" I desperately called, almost shrilling from the quick command. It took a bit to connect the words together too, realising Josh had... for some forsaken reason, bashed Anthony's head in. With his mind. ""J-Josh! What did you do that for?!"" Sparks instinctively flew from my magnet as I floated in-between Anthony and Josh, immediately demanding an answer and trying to get a voice over the thundering howls of the blizzard.

She didn’t think her friend’s outburst was <span class=""bb-i"">too</span> bad, but she wasn’t going to suppress her friend’s desire to improve if that’s how she saw it. These chemicals were so weird…<br/><br/>""The fuck is this? You'd think they'd at least say what's in the damn things."" Dexter said.<br/><br/>“Yeah,” Rebecca answered as she went through them, setting bottles on the desk behind her as she went through them. “Tell me about it… Experiment 1, Experiment 2, Experiment 3, Experi- Wait, Missingno.?! Now we’re getting somewhere…” She tried to see if there was anything she else she could glean from it, but she was having a tough time. Either way, she made sure to be gentle with it. If it had a piece of something as abominable as THAT inside, it’d have to be extremely dangerous. A real biohazard.<br/><br/>“Well,” Rebecca said. “For anyone not in the know, Missingno. Is… well, I’m not sure what it is exactly. But it’s really big, it’s really creepy, and it can corrupt things and make them really creepy too. So it’s a bit of a problem. Be really careful around that bottle, by the way.” She paused for a moment as she thought of what to do next.<br/><br/>“Hey!” The Kirlia shouted out to the various dragons working in the shadows. “Can you guys tell me where you keep your notes? Or are you just gonna keep hanging around back there. It’s getting kind of awkward.” She ruffled through some drawers for a moment before she heard a pinging noise from her badge and got a mysterious message. Didn’t come out too clearly though. Which was kind of annoying, but they were pretty far away and underground.<br/><br/>“Well,” Rebecca mused, with just a tinge of annoyance in her voice. “There’s a dilemma. That sounds like it’s <span class=""bb-i"">maybe</span> pretty important, but then again, this is too, and I don’t know how long these guys are going to leave precious secret research around here…” she put her finger to her forehead for a moment. Then she turned to their client.<br/><br/>“Do you think we’ve done enough here?” Rebecca asked the Bronzor. “Otherwise we’ve got two teams here, so we can split up and bring the guildmaster back while we stay on the hunt for more clues, if we can pull it off...”<br/></div>"

""ALRIGHT, MAGGOTS! IT'S TIME WE TURNED YOU INTO MEN!"" I shouted, though, of course, I didn't mean to say that... what I DID mean to do, however, was use that weird aura that appeared, again to heal whatever injuries the team had, and make it so their attacks hit two to five times in a row, regardless of whether or not they did so to begin with. ""Alright, MAGGOTS, send the enemy your best barrage! NOW! FIRE AT WILL!"" and on that word, I used dragon breath over and over again, dealing a decent amount of damage to kyurem, and even managing to paralyze it while I did so. Reshiram decided to use flamethrower, which, just like dragon breath, seemed to hit multiple times, in his case, four, and that didn't seem to sit too well with kyurem, as it started to look around for any sort of berries, or other healing items. ""NOW, MAGGOTS! FINISH IT OFF! IT CAN'T HAVE TOO MUCH FIGHT LEFT IN IT!"" I shouted, again, without my own say-so. I then finally shook off that daze, however, the effect of... whatever that was... was still active, thankfully. This could easily end up winning us the fight, and Kyurem tried its best to attack after the paralysis, but, of course... it didn't get too far, making the big bad ice guy lose a turn while Daniel just flew up to the paralyzed legendary, and just started beating the thing up with his wings, using wing attack five times, and dealing quite a bit of damage... and while Devon somehow found the strength to lift the thing, and just slam it against all of the walls, the ceiling, and the floor, using psychic at least four times with that, and, of course, dealing even more damage.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	Rebecca seemed to suggest that we split up, and I nodded at that almost by complete mistake. The bronzor then said ""Yes, I think that splitting up here would work to our advantage. Spruce and Celes should bring the guildmaster back to his guild, while the rest of us should keep exploring... if they were able to harvest a piece of... THAT THING... then we have to get rid of whatever they used to take it, right?"" after that, the guildmaster started following me, saying ""I know the message said to skip Treasure town, and never come back, but I think my guild needs me... so, I'll take you guys back there!"" I then held out my badge, and just teleported him, and us, back to Arnold's guild, and I quietly led him out of the place... after which he just started spinning while walking back to his guild. ""Yeah, still the same guildmaster... let's hope he actually finds his way back after getting himself that dizzy,"" I said as I looked at the SOS board for the first time in a while. It seems like there were a few missions that weren't already taken, including one involving a missing Arcanine in the northern forest... wait... weren't we THERE? Didn't we find an arcanine while we were there? Seems like the arcanine's friend, listed as 'Barry' has been looking for him for years. That... that can't be true. I took the paper from the board, and immediately showed it to Celes, who teleported in with me, and as I showed her, I asked ""Celes, do you remember that crazy arcanine who attacked us, and called everyone 'Barry'? I sure do, I just didn't think Barry was a real pokemon, let alone that he was LOOKING for this arcanine,""<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	As soon as Rebecca said they should split up, the bronzor explained that there was more to be done, but he WANTED us to split up for some reason, and, unfortunately, we lost our three most powerful allies all in an instant as they all just teleported away. ""Well, I was going to suggest we stick together, since splitting up like this was the WORST thing we could have done,"" I said, annoyed, and just as they left, a group of dragon types walked up to us... welp. In the group, there was a dragonite, a salamence, and a hydreigon, and they seemed to come from the hallway that led to our left... maybe that's where we should go, next. I decided to just use a flash tackle on one of them, revealing a very important-looking door behind the trio... maybe that's what we were here for, or, at least, maybe our client will be satisfied once we get there, and, of course, it dealt some damage to the dragonite, nowhere near as much as I had hoped, but at least it wasn't at full health, anymore. The dragonite then decided to attack me with dragon rush, sending me flying back to my team, and causing the bronzor to try to use iron defense, yet again, as if his earlier usages of the move wore off, or something. ""Guys... I found an... important-looking door..."" I said through my daze, and yes, of course, I was dazed, I was sent back to a metal wall with a powerful, dragon-type attack, I'm just surprised that I wasn't knocked out with that.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	The gallade was still confused, and he took the hit, but that didn't seem to slow him down, too much, and oddly enough, neither did Tini's fairy wind. ""I won't buy any encyclopedias... what do you think I am? An idiot? Goodbye sun, goodbye moon, goodbye June, goodbye hon,"" Tini seemed to believe every word the gallade was jabbering while confused, so I just had to wonder what he'll say about THIS one. I then mustered up as much hate for my father as I could, and focused it all into a frustration attack, dealing some decent damage to him, and he fired back with a close combat, this time, actually hitting me, and... and I didn't die... I wasn't even knocked out. Sure, it hurt, but have I really gotten THAT much stronger? That can't be right. He then looked over to Tini, specifically, and said ""Only idiots buy encyclopedias thinking that they have ALL the knowledge of the world in them... spittoon, golden spittoon... that's not what you should have stolen..."" he then kept trying to look in a single direction, but it seems like the world was still spinning in his mind, which was very good for us.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Magma]<br/><br/>	It seemed like Gavin had a plan, and I wasn't one to say no to something like that, so, I put myself in a position that didn't allow the wurmple to escape, and, of course, he backed away from Gren as soon as Gren attacked him, only to bump into me. ""Where do you think you're going, hm? Sorry, but I'm not about to just let you escape,"" I then used ember on him, again, dealing serious damage, and causing him to just throw the bag at Gavin, with him shouting ""ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT! I thought you were an easy mark, but NOOOO! You had to just DOG me for some stupid, random seeds and other garbage! I'm getting out of here!"" I then noticed that he dropped his badge, and I picked it up, just to press a weird button on it that teleported me, my allies, and Hudson over to... somewhere that had a wooden floor. Hudson seemed to be scared of this place, but, of course, he still couldn't move, and soon enough, a couple of magnemite showed up just to take him away... they even handed Gavin some golden coins as a reward. What an odd interaction, but I assumed that they'd explain what just happened, and if not, asking them about it would make me seem suspicious. One thing I did notice, however, was the fact that it teleported BOTH of the aron with me, Gren, and the one that was still acting like a turtle on its back. I weighed my options, and just decided to flip him back over, and explain ""I guess you're one of our allies, now? Welcome to the um... team?""</div>"

In this instance, he’s reading updates to the board - old and new - this one, just posted an hour ago regarding some Arcanine looking for his friend Barry, and another one - hardly touched, aged and tattered from years ago - with the exact same description, word for word. <br/><br/>“...some deep metaphorical bullcrud, really… on the surface, at least. Well, not quite. You can say all you want about how he’s probably just some poor Arcanine who’s gone mad trying to metaphorically find himself and discover true meaning - but what if he’s literally trying to find himself? A clone? Ditto?” <br/><br/>He’s still messing around with the SOS Board, pinning new notes and rescue team and exploration missions about the board, pulling them from a big bag of envelopes and tossing them onto the board in live updates all across the towns in some seemingly random order.<br/><br/>“Or maybe he just doesn’t have the time… to find himself stuck in time? Trapped after some mess with void crystals or some other reason… and in an attempt to save himself, he ends up becoming the whole reason he’s stuck there… attacking those trying to help him because, well, he doesn’t know right from wrong - why would he try to help others when he can’t even save himself? Almost like he’s his own ghost.” <br/><br/>He takes a step back, admiring his work on the board for a minute, adjusting his bowtie, before leaning back into the board, pressing himself up against it. <br/><br/>“What do you think, Spruce, huh? Do you believe in ghosts? Well, that wouldn’t make much sense to ask - you’re hearing a disembodied voice right now! And for another, ghosts aren’t real - but I very much am. I can’t hear you, but you can hear me - see, this bad boy -” He slaps the board, pinning another message on it. “Not only updates in real time, but it allows for a one-way intercom call - it was mainly used back in the day for guildmasters to directly message other guilds and guildmasters when they needed to make extreme SOS requests off the cuff without the need of paper - in the event it’s that dire and severe - but I figured this might be fun too!” <br/><br/>""...Wally's on his way, isn't he? Well! That WOULD mean I don't have too much time left, but I've got enough time - don't I? If he spinned he must've spun in several directions, which means he doesn't have too much a sense of direction or orientation while he's all wibbly wobbley, so I estimate that'll take him about... three and a half hours for him to finally make it back to the guild! That's more than enough time for me to save the world, isn't it?"" <br/><br/>“Oh, and no, like I said, I have no idea what you’re saying. It might sound like I’m replying, but I’m not!

It really wasn't all that difficult even though Gren missed his attack. He made a mental note that he needed to work on his aim some more.

The wrumple was then taken away by some magnemites, but that didn't really explain what was going on. Gren, Magma, Gavin, and some other aron Gren has never met before were here. Approaching Magma and the other aron Gren looked around curiously. <font color=""#00a651"">""What just happened?

Miles in particular was very quick to put himself between the two of them. It was understandable. He probably thought the stress of this mission had driven Josh completely insane. ""I know how this must look, but-""<br/><br/>   He'd barely gotten a chance to explain himself when Anthony suddenly began barking orders. Or, more accurately, his weird alternate personality did. ""ALRIGHT, MAGGOTS! IT'S TIME WE TURNED YOU INTO MEN!"" It was exactly like every other time this ability activated. ""Alright, MAGGOTS, send the enemy your best barrage! NOW! FIRE AT WILL!""<br/><br/>   ""I'm sure you remember this power. It's the same one we used against Reshiram."" Josh explained to Miles. ""The trick to activating it is a blow to the head, though I only figured that out just now."" With that out of the way, he turned his attention to Kyurem.

Dexter began to taunt them. ""What? Did you three finally grow a pair now that the scary fairy's gone?"" He chuckled to himself, before letting out a Howl to boost his attack. He knew he couldn't do much against the Hydreigon. That was better left to Rebecca. Instead, he rushed forward and sunk his teeth into the Dragonite.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Donovan]<br/>   Donovan had no clue what just happened. One minute he was out in the middle of the forest, and seconds later he was inside some kind of building. ""Where am I!?"" He cried out, still struggling to get himself back upright. He then felt someone pushing on his shell, turning him over little by little until he was back on his feet. He scrambled to get a look at who had helped him, only to see the very same Pokemon that he had fought before, plus another Aron that he didn't recognize. At this point, he had calmed down, at least a little. The bloodlust and rage that fueled his rampage had disappeared. He pointed at the Salandit that helped him up. ""You! Are you the one that brought me here?""</div>"

""Seriously.. Barry was a real pokemon? Err.. that arcanine will probably still have some nuts and bolts loose if we get him back... do we really want to deal with him? Just.. geez"" She then says to Spruce, shaking her head just a bit. ""I guess we could, but if he tries to bite me or anything, I will use my ribbons and probably strangle him until hes unconscious... geez"" she then says, shaking her head and thinking a bit. ""But.. it may be good to talk to this Barry.. and explain to him the situation?"" She adds. If that Barry does exist, it would be better to make sure about this... just in case its another crazy job of that jerk or something.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>When Eralion saw Bonnie get hit, his eyes looked red with anger... A move like that directly to her. He was not going to have that happen. He suddenly jumped onto the Gallade and tried to meteor smash him onto the ground, trying to literally have him planted into the ground. ""Jerk... criminal... freak show that only want to see blood..."" he says, keep insulting him as much as he could, trying to have him smash down into the ground. Sure that gallade was not a grass type, but his green coloring would look natural if its only the head that is left out. One thing for sure.. this will probably hurt the gallade at least. Derevan just hoped it would hurt him enough to knock him down.</div>"

Hudson heaved his oversized bag at me, knocking me over from its weight as a strange badge flew from it and landed on the ground by Magma. ""ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!"" Hudson said, ""I thought you were an easy mark, but NOOOO! You had to just DOG me for some stupid, random seeds and other garbage! I'm getting out of here!""<br/><br/>	""Don't let him get away!"" I shouted. Just as Hudson turned to run, Magma picked up the badge, and a blinding white light engulfed us. For a moment I thought someone had used Flash, but as my eyes adjusted I saw the forest had gone. In its place was a room that looked as though a tornado had gone through. Papers were scattered everywhere, and the floor was covered with claw marks and food scraps that looked like they had been ripped apart in a fight. Ladders to other floors stood on the far wall next to a couple bulletin boards; a pair of Magnemite floated in the corner, deep in conversation. I realized we were in the Treasure Town guild - a Bidoof had been thrown at me in here earlier today.<br/><br/>	Hudson seemed to recognize this place, too. He looked terrified, his wide eyes scanning the room like he expected to be attacked at any moment. But before he could run for the ladder, the two Magnemite noticed and flew over to restrain him. ""ZZZT! You brought the outlaw Hudson in for arrest! ZZZT!"" one of the Magnemite said to me.<br/><br/>	""Outlaw?"" Hudson said, still looking for an escape. ""I'm- I'm no outlaw! Don't know what yer talking about! You've got the wrong Wurmple, that's what!""<br/><br/>	""Wait, you're officers?"" I said, once I realized what was going on. ""Yeah, he's Hudson! He stole my-""<br/><br/>	""ZZZT! We are aware! Hudson has been operating in Treasure Town as a pickpocket for some time now! ZZZT!""<br/><br/>	""I'm not Hudson! Don't know who yer talking about! Tell 'em, kid!"" Hudson said, a pleading look now in his eyes. The Magnemite ignored him.<br/><br/>	""ZZZT! Take this money as your reward,"" the Magnemite said, handing me 600 Poké. ""Thank you for your cooperation! ZZZT!"" I accepted the money and watched as they brought Hudson up the ladder as he fought to get free, now insisting he was actually a Wurmple named Benson who had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. His oversized bag still sat in front of me. I opened it to find several other bags crammed inside, mine among them. I took it out and brushed it off, checking to see everything was still there before putting it on and placing my stick safely in its side pocket. Magma had gone to flip the other Aron over.<br/><br/>	""I guess you're one of our allies, now? Welcome to the um... team?"" Magma said. The Aron looked less angry now, despite the red war paint on his face. He asked if Magma was the one who brought him here. Gren asked what happened, apparently worried that we still might be in trouble.<br/><br/>	""I don't <span class=""bb-i"">think</span> we're in trouble,"" I replied, checking that there weren't any other Pokémon in here. ""Looks like the badge teleported us to the guild in Treasure Town. Those were officers, they took Hudson away and gave me some money for catching him. Really, though, you're the ones who did most of the work. I don't know what would've happened if none of you had shown up. So... thanks, I guess."" I handed them the 600 Poké to split among themselves. ""The Magnemite left Hudson's bag here, I'm gonna go see if there's anyone I can hand it in to downstairs. Would anyone mind coming with me? Just to be safe - it was a bit chaotic here earlier."" Hoping at least one of them would agree, I picked up the heavy bag and climbed down the ladder, listening for any signs of fighting and hoping that no Bidoof would be thrown at me this time. The room below was quiet, and for a moment, I thought there might be nobody there. But then, a loud, energetic voice made me jump and almost fall off the ladder. It had come from a nearby room, its door slightly ajar. I glanced at anyone who had followed me, then sneaked over to the door and slowly pushed it open to peer inside.</div>"

Quite the opposite: they were somehow teleported to town and in the guild to boot! Gren was quite ecstatic. He had heard from his mother about Pokémon with the power to teleport teams across the world but never had he thought such a power could be put into an object. Relaxing a little Gren looked towards the gible as he handed over 600 poke to split for taking down the wrumple. Gren practically glowed; he’s never had this much money before! But before greed could take him, he only took a small share of 100 poke. He didn’t feel that he really contributed to much considering his ambush totally failed and he just happened across them by chance.<br/><br/>Then Gavin asked for someone to come with him to turn in the thief’s bag. Gren was eager to explore so he chose to tag along. <font color=""#00a651"">”Right behind ya.”</font> Gren followed towards the ladder, though instead of climbing Gren simply jumped. It was an easy thing for him to do considering his time living in the mountains. Gren didn’t really notice the voice that Gavin picked up on, but Gren followed nonetheless. <font color=""#00a651"">”Adventure time?”</font></div>"

Your pick. It doesn’t matter. Light jazz sounded from the record player in the office, the light sound of cluttering and clanking heard from the inside. <br/><br/>Nevertheless, Breen almost sort of jumps out from behind the door, slamming it shut after yanking his guests in one at a time. Gavin. Yank. Door slam. Door open. Magma. Yank. Door slam. Door open. Donovan. Yank. Door slam. <br/><br/>“Oh, there’s two of you, huh? Right.” <br/><br/>Gren. Yank. Door slam. With a flourish of his device, he quickly runs it down, locking every possible lock on the door, before standing before it in front of his guests, adjusting his bowtie, glancing toward everyone with his upside-down 3-D specs. <br/><br/>“Spruce! That’s a relief - oh, I totally jumped into the wrong reality time stream then - oh! That reminds me, there’s a Wigglytuff wandering around out there alone, could someone volunteer to help him around when he’s back, keep an eye out, aw, good, thanks!” <br/><br/>He reaches toward Gavin, giving him a quick noogie - pausing. “Oh, wait, you’re shorter than you should be. Or taller. Right well that’s. Oh! I’ve got much to tell you all, much to show you - this is more exciting than the time we all turned into birds - you remember that, don’t you? Oh, of course you do!” <br/><br/>He’s running around the office, readjusting books, grabbing random supplies all willy-nilly, before returning back to the group. He reaches back up, readjusting his glasses right-side up.  “And that’s because… oh. Right. Glasses."" Record scratches to a stop.  ""Uh. You’re not Spruce. At all.” He runs his device around Gavin - the thing blinking bright yellow. “Oh, right! Yeah! You! Gavin! Nice to see you again, pal!”<br/><br/>	The Swampert reaches into Gavin’s bag, grabbing the pointy-stick, looking over toward the rest of the group, pointing the pointer dangerously pointy at Magma. “Right, and you… “ He looks down at his device. Nothing. “Are new… definitely new… definitely… pink!” He grins, pushing his glasses closer, staring at the Salandit. “Magma, right? Of course I’m right. Salandit with a blaze in your heart.” He snickers, adjusting his bowtie. “Oooh, good one Breen, wicked good one.” <br/><br/>Moving on, he looks down at the two Aron, scoffing, rolling his eyes - “Oh, for fuckssake, why’s it always Aron, huh? Edgy little buggers - lemmee guess…” He leans in, digging a finger across Donovan’s face, managing some of the ‘war paint’ onto his finger before plopping that into his mouth. “Yup. Red Gummi with a bit of… oh, what is with you lot and being so damn dark, gosh, read a comic once in a while would you…”<br/><br/> He turns to Gren. “At least you’re well-equipped. Eyes are cool. You’re not as edgy as your buddy here, so that’s good.” He runs the device over one more time, blinking green. “Cool! You’ve got plenty to live for, pal, welcome to the guild!” <br/><br/>He sets his device down, before whipping Gavin’s pointy-stick at the record player - the record shattering onto the ground, another record plopping on, clicking in place - heavier, swingier jazz music playing. The stick, rebounding off an elastic, off of the wall, spinning Breen’s hat around, before nestling back in place into Gavin’s bag. <br/><br/>“Right! Introductions! Nice to meet you all, thanks for introducing yourselves - “ He reaches forward and shakes each one of their paws with force, before spinning back around, over toward his table, sitting down on the top of it, dangling his feet off the desk, clapping his hands together and readjusting his bowtie. <br/><br/>“He-ll-oo! I’m Breen. Breen Torrents. Swampert. Music enthusiast. Comic-book collector. Lover of dragons. The oncoming storm. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I’m your guildmaster! You’re my new VERY important, wicked special team. Do as I tell you. Don't ask stupid questions. Any questions?"" <br/><br/>Everyone’s paws shoot up. “As expected.” He looks over toward his device - glowing pink, and slowly beeping… gradually getting faster and faster, louder and louder. <br/><br/>“Well, hurry up! I don’t have all day - don’t waste time! Trust me, it’s not as fun as it sounds!” <br/></div>"

It was kinda quick.<br/><br/>""Well, I was going to suggest we stick together,” Nina said, “Since splitting up like this was the WORST thing we could have done.” Rebecca gave a quick sigh.<br/><br/>“Yeah,” The Kirlia said. “I was kinda hoping there might be a little more discussion on that? Sorry, kinda winging it here.” She considered saying something else, but more dragons decided to barge into the room. Great. Did they think they could win now?<br/><br/>""What? Did you three finally grow a pair now that the scary fairy's gone?"" Dexter said, letting loose a badass howl. Even she was getting pumped up from that.<br/><br/>“If they’re not scared of me that’s their problem.” Rebecca said jokingly. She used Dazzling Gleam again, sending that sweet fairy-type damage throughout the room before Nina got sent flying by a Dragon Rush. Crap. She was mumbling something about a door out there in the darkness.<br/><br/>“Hey, hey,” Rebecca said,“Take it easy. Catch your breath if you need to, I’ll cover you.” She suddenly teleported in between her teammate and the opposing Dragonite, a Dragon type attack bouncing off the Kirlia like it was nothing. She suppressed a light chuckle as she shot another Dazzling Gleam.</div>"

Thankfully, Rebecca was there to not only block a dragon claw for me, but to also counter with fairy wind, which seemed to remind a few of them why they were staying away... the hydreigon in particular seemed nervous and scared after that. The salamence seemed to be trying to pry Dexter off of the dragonite's tail, and said hydreigon decided against even attacking, preferring to use the move 'Calm Mind', instead. I figured that it probably needed to calm itself down after seeing Rebecca deal that much damage to its friends. Once I felt confident enough to attack again, I said ""Th-thanks Rebecca, I really needed that,"" and I decided to try to poison the dragonite with a poison sting, and thankfully, I didn't even have to try the move twice to do it. The dragonite started to look pale after my poisoning, and they still had to deal with Dexter biting their tail, as well... they tried to use Dragon Rush on me, again, however, this time, I managed to get out of the way, and even counter with a bite of my own, joining Dexter in biting the thing on its tail. The dragonite tasted... unlike anything I've ever tasted before, but, then again, I kind of lived a sheltered life, so maybe it tasted a bit more normal to someone like Dexter, who's probably bitten more pokemon than I have. The dragonite seemed to flinch from my bite, as well, as if it was going to skip its next turn, or something while the other two dragons were busy trying to either buff their stats, or pull off the two pokemon who were latched onto their friend.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	It seemed like we were finally gaining ground against Kyurem, who didn't seem to take to the volley of attacks, too well. Kamina seemed to charge at Kyurem on my alt's command, and, of course, Kyurem tried to use a shadow tackle on him, only for Daniel to block the attack, again, and hit back with four wing attacks, dealing enough damage to actually make Kyurem stumble backwards. Miles then tried to shock the thing a few times, and somehow, that ended up paralyzing Kyurem... this fight was starting to remind me of our fight against Reshiram at this point, and Reshiram himself seemed to forgo protecting us to use his flamethrower against Kyurem five times in a row. Somehow, Kyurem was still standing, and through the shadow-type craziness, he somehow managed to say ""No... I won't let you... you can't take my crystal... it needs to stay where it is... you can't... don't... please don't..."" why was he pleading with us about a crystal? I knew that MY team wasn't looking for any crystals, at least, but, then again, the OTHER team might be. Either way, I used dragon breath a  total of three times against Kyurem, dealing significant damage, yet, even after taking ALL of those attacks, Kyurem was still somehow standing. HOW!? I was starting to get annoyed by this, but I tried my best not to show that annoyance, lest my team think I'm being unreasonable, somehow.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	I felt a strange power fill my body when Tini shouted out something about cookies, and the gallade seemed to be a bit quicker on his feet than I had hoped, as he dodged at least one of Eralion's attacks, and he seemed to be focusing on something. Seems like the confusion was over, at least, since he managed to say ""This is getting to be too much... I have to get out of here before they arrest me,"" and while he said that under his breath, I still heard it loud and clear, and I even managed to break his focus before he could teleport away with a well-aimed, somehow more powerful frustration attack, which also made him stumble backwards. He seemed to be desperate now, and he tried to attack me with Close Combat again, though, this time, I was too quick, and I simply jumped over his head before he could pull off the move, only to use dizzy punch against him to try to confuse him, yet again... it didn't work this time, and he somehow used counter against me, dealing some decent damage back. He then turned his focus on Tini, and mumbled something about this 'stupid fairy' supposedly 'getting in his way' somehow more than the rest of us, and he tried to use Psycho Cut on Tini, almost as if he knew that his fighting type moves wouldn't work too well, here... I tried to get in the way of the attack, but I wasn't fast enough, unfortunately. I hoped he would be able to somehow evade the attack, or better, just take the attack and blast the gallade with Fairy Wind, again.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	There were a few weird messages that seemed to pop up on the board for no reason, not to mention an oddly familiar voice telling him how 'Barry' is also the Arcanine's name and how he's somehow searching for himself... the voice also asked if I believed in ghosts, but before I could answer, the voice clarified that while he couldn't hear me, I could certainly hear him, and I immediately knew what was off about the messages... Bubble Pond didn't have a fifth floor! Oh, and the capital letters spelled something out, as well. ""Hm... let's see... BREEN WAS HERE... Breen... that odd marshtomp with the glasses and broken orbs?"" I asked myself as I looked at those messages... and then I just had to think <span class=""bb-i"">Who let Breen near the place where you can change what's on the boards?</span> of course, after that, I sort of absent-mindedly took the mission involving 'Barry', and headed out of the guild to go where I assumed the north was, though, of course, I could just be completely and utterly wrong, like usual. It was a pretty nice day outside... warm, bright, and many pokemon were just wandering around in town, probably wishing they could go outside of the town's boundaries without inexplicably becoming a wild pokemon, or something. <span class=""bb-i"">How DOES that work, anyways? How do towns, of all things, protect pokemon from becoming wild? Why am I allowed to venture around, but most pokemon are stuck in town? Does it have something to do with my badge?</span> I thought as I kept just... wandering around generally going where I thought north was, at this point, though, I assumed Celes would correct my path soon enough, anyways, so I didn't worry, too much about it.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Blaze]<br/><br/>	I had heard that guildmasters were weird, but this was certainly... new. The swampert introduced himself as 'Breen', and he somehow already knew all of our names... as well as the embarrassing fact that I was actually pink, and not ash grey like most of my kind. Of course, I tried my best to deny it with ""N-no, I'm not pink, y-you are!"" but it was obvious that I was lying to even a casual observer. This strange guildmaster guy also seemed to say something about me having a 'Blaze in my heart', and I took a step back. He didn't already somehow know my REAL name, did he? I sure hoped not. ""Uh... e-either way, m-mister guildmaster, what do you want us to do as our first guild mission?"" I asked the strange swampert before remembering that we split up the gold coins, and that I somehow had some, despite not really doing anything, so, I decided to give my share of the money to Gavin, who would probably at least know what to do with it, right? After that, I tried to look as formal as I could, and for some reason, I could hear some weird, off-key singing in the distance... some sort of song about spinning? What?</div>"

At least joining this guild could give her more resources to find her old team, or if nothing else give her something to do. What felt worse than constantly failing was sheer boredom. As she entered the guildhall she heard some music and a bombastic voice down the hall and to a door. If she had to guess the guildmaster was here. From what she knew they were often loud and hammy.

One by one, the Swampert opened the door, yanked someone inside, and slammed it again until Gavin, Magma, Gren, and the war-painted Aron stood side by side in the guildmaster's room, smooth jazz playing from a record player in the corner. The guildmaster stood before them adjusting his bowtie, a pair of upside-down 3D glasses perched on his face. He spoke in an energetic, carefully-controlled chaos of words while waving a very strange machine in their faces. The guildmaster referred to Gavin as Spruce and asked if he remembered turning into a bird. He couldn't say that he did.<br/><br/>	Gavin had half a mind to snatch his stick back when the guildmaster took it, but he was too intimidated to do so. A moment later, however, the stick wedged itself back into his bag - but only after being thrown across the room and ricocheting off the record player. The guildmaster introduced himself as Breen Torrents, a music enthusiast, comic book collecting, dragon-loving Swampert who was sometimes known as the Oncoming Storm. ""I'm your guildmaster! You’re my new VERY important, wicked special team. Do as I tell you. Don't ask stupid questions. Any questions?""<br/><br/>	Magma and Gren practically jumped at the idea of joining the guild. The war-painted Aron was furious at being called ""edgy"". And Gavin, he was wondering how he had gotten himself into this mess. He had come to Treasure Town to buy food food, and that was it. There had been no plans on getting his bag stolen, no plans on meeting these people, and certainly no plans on spontaneously joining a guild.<br/><br/>	""Actually,"" he said, glancing at the others, ""I'm not... you know... joining the guild. I was just returning this. The Magmemite left it behind."" He gave the guildmaster Hudson's oversized bag. Inside it were several stolen bags, themselves full of various items, maps, and trinkets collected over the years by explorers. The door behind him opened. A Cutiefly peeked inside and asked if this was the right place to join the guild. In the distance, Gavin heard an an indignant squawk and a horribly off-key song about spinning.</div>"

With a bad case of poisoning and two pokemon biting down on it, the Dragonite was pretty much taken care of at this point, but if they let his buddies keep buffing… Well, they might have a bigger problem on their hands.<br/><br/>""Keep an eye on the other guys when you're done with that,"" Rebecca called to her teammates.

Soon enough I overheard Kyurem and Reshiram talking about merging, or something... I decided to just let them talk, and after a short talk, reshiram seemed to vanish, and kyurem seemed to change. ""WAIT, WHA-"" was all I managed to say before the... er... two(?) of them disappeared... a strange light filled the cave, and it seemed to have defrosted. ""Huh... hey, Josh... I think we did it... we might have saved Keira, that is, if the town's defrosted,"" I said as I started to head out of the deepest part of the cave. The wild pokemon didn't seem to attack us, this time, for some reason, and the place seemed to be quite a bit warmer, despite still being an altar to a legendary ice pokemon. I then turned towards Devon, and asked ""So... you're REALLY sure you've never been to Mt. Dragoncoil?"" and he nodded, pointing out ""Do I look like the kind of pokemon who would be able to easily climb a mountain?"" well... he was right... but, then again, we DID see a kadabra, one that looked just like him, attacking Static at the very top of that mountain... had it not been for Daniel, he probably would have defeated us, too.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	Just as I had thought, Celes was always there to point me in the right direction. I chuckled at this, and just started heading back to that cold, dark forest... somehow, we were able to just go there, this time, and I looked around for any sort of clues that an arcanine was here recently. While I was looking, I noticed some scratch marks in the trees, a few sets of glowing, red eyes in the darkness, and a few black hairs lying around. ""OH SHOOT! CELES! WATCH OUT! IT'S AN AMBUSH!"" I shouted as the five or so sneasel jumped from their trees to try to attack her... thankfully, I managed to get her out of the way with my vines, but even so... that was close. The five enemy pokemon then turned to look at us, and they all glared, angrily. A few of them used ice shard, two aiming for me, and one aiming for Celes, and while I took SOME damage, it wasn't too bad. I then attacked one of them with a simple, but perfected vine whip, almost knocking it out right then and there. The other two seemed to be too busy trying to prepare their attacks to actually attack, yet, giving Celes the perfect opportunity to just knock one of them out.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	I tried my best to say something in response to what Rebecca said, but I was still busy biting the dragonite, at least, until it just sort of... flopped over from the poison. I then turned my attention towards the hydreigon, who managed to use another 'Calm Mind' while the salamence decided to use 'Dragon Dance'... did these two REALLY have to increase their stats to fight us? Honestly, at this point, it seemed like a waste of a turn, or two. Rebecca's move hit the two of them, and somehow, the hydreigon was still conscious. I ran over to it and used Flash Tackle, lighting up the room, again, and revealing a sign on the next door that reads 'DANGER' as well as some other words that I couldn't really read in the short time the move lit up the area. The hydreigon tried to attack, but, it seems like my move somehow made him flinch, leaving just the salamence to try to use dragon claw on Dexter, of course, I figured that wasn't going to go over very well with Rebecca around. I then tried to think about what they could be hiding behind that door that might be dangerous, even to them... and then it hit me... those potions that had a 'piece of Missingno.'... that could hold the source of that... if not the beast, itself, then a large, duplicating fragment of it... and if it can just duplicate... we can't very well just leave it to infest our world, can we?<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	While Eralion was too slow to save Tini, his attack proved to be more than enough to finish off the gallade... thank goodness... and, oddly enough, it seemed like Tini was about ready to evolve, too. I ignored the shining light that was Tini, and used my badge to teleport us all back to the guild, along with the knocked out gallade. The officers took him away, and handed us a hefty reward for his capture, stating that he was in league with a ring of killers, and was among the most wanted pokemon in the world, right now. I just smiled at this reward, since it was enough to buy almost any TM from the shop, whether or not the shopkeeper actually liked us, and I asked ""So... does anyone have any ideas on what we should spend all of this money on?"" I didn't have too many ideas, and Tini might have still been evolving, so I was mainly asking Eralion, though, I was still smiling ear to ear about all of this. Maybe we could just make a living doing this, I mean, we knew of at least one more criminal just like him, so this was likely going to double, maybe even triple if I could get strong enough to bring my father in.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Blaze]<br/><br/>	The swampert continued to go on and on about things when, out of nowhere, a wigglytuff showed up, and sat on the guildmaster's chair... odd. ""Uh... sir... that chair is for the guildmaster, only,"" I said to the wigglytuff, who responded with ""Yup, that's why I'm sitting here! It's my special chair!"" I seemed confused for a moment, and the wigglytuff looked around in his chair... ""See? I even know where the special Perfect Apple pocket is, it HAS to be my chair,"" he said as he pulled out a shiny, giant-sized apple, which he proceeded to balance on his head. I was about to ask a few more questions when one of the other guildmembers barged in, and started talking to the wigglytuff as if HE were the guildmaster. Were we just... wrong? I looked over to the team, a cutiefly, two aron, and a gible who said something about not joining, which had me ask ""Wait, why? You'd be able to catch even more criminals like that Hudson guy, and stop others from doing what he did to you,"" the cutiefly then introduced herself, and I tried my best to imitate a bow while I said ""I'm Magma, one of the new recruits into this guild... so new that I might have gotten tricked by a fake guildmaster... er... nice to meet you, ma'am,"" I then noticed everyone else talking to the wigglytuff, and after a few orders from said wigglytuff, it seemed like order was restored in the guild... so... THEY were the guildmaster... er.... welp.</div>"

He used his arms to go and hug Tini also, chuckling a bit. ""I know arms are great."" he then says, chuckling a bit at this, but one though came to his mind. With all that money, what could they even do. They surely cant start any base or something, and anyway they already had the guild they could stay at. The group probably would need to think about it.

As he neared the cave's exit, he began to call out. ""Keira!""<br/><br/>   He called out her name a few more times, until he finally found her, in a small pond not far from where she was frozen. The moment Keira laid eyes on him, her eyes widened. ""Josh?"" She almost couldn't believe it. He was no longer the small, timid Skrelp he was the last time she'd seen him. ""I...

It hurt quite a bit, especially after the Dragon Dance, but Dexter wasn't one to let a little bit of pain stop him.

His murky purple eyes faded to a more natural yellow, the ground rumbling as his body crackled the ice beneath him. Fighting Kyreum wasn't easy, especially as his minions alone kept us at bay for a while - yet, his jagged rocky body laid still in front of us. I slowly paced over to him, still tense with magnets out and buzzing, ready to electrocute his mace-shaped head if he was just faking.<br/><br/>I didn't need to do anything though; Reshiram strode past me and pushed me aside, lifting Kyreum's neck and belly with his wide wings. I eyed Kyreum suspiciously as he grovelled over the fight and swore he couldn't remember the fight, turning to the team and moving out of earshot of their apparently sane dialogue.<br/><br/>And with that, I was glad it was over. The adrenaline wore off, aches permeating my metal body, eye stinging from the sharpness of the cold wind. I wiped my forehead (despite not sweating), sighing to myself in relief. I noted the whistling winds slowed to a halt and the ice began to shrink into nothingness, leaving an empty shallow basin only slightly deeper than the floor we fought on. I took a brief moment to register reality, scanning the emptied area with my good eye as I tried my best to smile without a mouth. I wrung my magnets and floated over to the rest of our party, checking for injuries and getting within ears (if any) of Kamina. It seemed as though Anthony and Josh had already scampered off, with even Reshiram and Kyreum disappearing to my confusion.<br/><br/>""Kamina, hey... you know what we must do, right?"" I asked, somewhat regrettably as I looked to the others (whoever remained) and back to the crystal. ""That crystal... we're gonna need it, but I got no idea what will happen to the Pokemon or town here."" I muttered to Kamina, barely able to reach the ears (if any) on his colossal form as I pointed to the floating thing, which we amazingly missed with our attacks.<br/><br/>Honestly, I made myself look more clueless than I should have - what would actually happen was that the dungeon would get swallowed into a broken facsimile of another world, with the town possibly within range of the effects. Yet, our team was tasked to stop Giratina, which required us to get those void crystals. To an outsider, we could've looked like reckless thieves or even villains.

Gren knew it could be quirky but this place... It almost felt dangerous. There was no denying that a lot of these pokemon were strong, stronger than him, or anyone else he's known before. But damn if they don't seem too unhinged. He didn't 100% agree with the gibble, but he wasn't entirely wrong either. Gren had hoped maybe this place was going to be more stable. If the guild was suppose to catch bad guys with crazies like this in charge, who knows what sort of jobs they might send them. Maybe they'll have to go stick up an orphanage or something, Gren didn't want to put himself in that position.<br/><br/>Still he was already in too deep. Best thing for them to do now was to split and figure stuff out, so Gren went over to the gibble and nudged him on the side, whispering. <font color=""#00a651"">""Yeah I think this place might be too weird. We should go. Quickly.""</font> Before anyone could rope him into any crazy stuff, Gren spoke loudly and backed towards the door. <font color=""#00a651"">""Right okay sooooooo we'll just be outside doing mission stuff then, now that we're members and all.

I made my way over to him, and said ""You know, it's a good thing we got that other team to help us... sheesh, I don't think we'd be able to take on Reshiram or Kyurem on our own, and... hey, one more orb thingy down, two to go, right?"" Keira seemed confused at the term 'orb thingy', but I left it up to Josh to explain it. Devon then wandered around town, introducing himself to everyone there while Daniel just sat perched on a street lamp, apparently comfy up on there, and it finally hit me... we can finally take a break, can't we? I smiled at that thought and just headed over to one of the buildings, and simply entered it. Inside that building was an F-shaped unown, and a crystal ball sitting on a table with a purple tablecloth... the unown seemed to be trying to get me to stand on the opposite side of the table, even saying things like ""A hero like you... it would be an honor to see into your future..."" and ""I won't even charge, this time... please... let me see..."" and... eventually, I decided to play along with it, standing on the other side of the table, across from the unown, who seemed to focus on something... soon enough, after a bit of mumbling and general psychic phrases, it eventually said ""Ah... you should be careful who you trust, young dragon... ...as one of your teammates... someone you don't think would ever betray you... will do exactly that... one among you will betray you in the end... but who? I cannot say, for even I have limits,"" well, that wasn't a very heartwarming reading, now was it? I didn't want to believe him, and I just headed out while he did his best impression of a smile and said ""I wish you the best of luck! See you some other time, I hope!"" and I soon rejoined Josh, and once I got there, I just... shook my head.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	Thankfully, I managed to take the hit just fine, and Celes even managed to blast the sneasel with moonblast, knocking it out, and scaring the others, a bit. She then suggested we show them who they just decided to mess with, and I simply responded ""Right,"" before I attacked one of them with void whip, knocking that one out, albeit with a critical hit... the others then tried to attack all at once, all of them trying to use beat up to capitalize on their superior numbers, but, given what type Celes was, if I could take that sort of beating, then she was doing just fine with it... given that the move would not be very effective on her... heck, I even managed to leech seed everyone who used beat up on me without them knowing, and the seeds immediately took effect, giving me back some of the health I lost from them just... ganging up on me over and over again. ""Oh, well... would you look at that? It seems like it's our turn, again,"" I said to them, which only served to intimidate them even more. A couple of them even just decided to run away from that, but, of course, there were still plenty more, unfortunately. Between the ambush, and the cold, I honestly wished that this mission could be over much, much sooner, but, of course, that wasn't going to be the case... we had to be here for even longer... of course, the fewer their numbers, the easier it was to get more of them to flee, but even then, we had to work our way to where they'd just all flee from us, first.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	It seemed as if Dexter caught yet another dragon by his teeth, but only after the thing nearly one-shot him with its attack. It then tried its best to get rid of Dexter, either via flying around the place, or trying to smash him into one of the metal walls of this place, and, while I wanted to help defeat either the salamence, or the hydreigon, Dexter needed more help... and not necessarily with that. I looked around in my bag, and eventually found a single Oran Berry sitting there among the status healing berries, and after taking it out, I shouted ""Dexter! Over here! Catch!"" I then tried to toss the berry over to him, but unfortunately, the salamence ALSO heard me, and they seemed to want the berry, too. The hydreigon then tried to use flamethrower on Rebecca, however, I got in the way, since I knew she was more important... but... ow... yup, it really hurt... like... REALLY hurt. In fact, I was probably screaming due to being on fire, but still... at least we still had our room-clearing fairy. After the flames died down, I noticed the salamence get hit with a metal, cube-shaped object that seemed to hit them right between the eyes, dealing a lot of damage, and even confusing them... good... maybe now, Dexter can get that berry... speaking of, I noticed that a LOT of the skin under my fur was charcoal-black after that, which can only mean that I got a residual burn from that flamethrower attack... thankfully, the guild loves providing new recruits with a set of berries to heal anything, so I took the blue, bitter, rawst berry, and eventually managing to get the nasty thing down my throat. Once that was done, the burn seemed to go away. That was when I remembered that Rebecca asked me something, and I responded ""Well... not so much an idea, but... um... I saw that the door behind that hydreigon read 'Danger', and it seemed to have a picture of that... THING on it... I... I think they're keeping either it, or a large chunk of it behind there,"" I answered, though, that probably wasn't what she was hoping to hear.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Blaze]<br/><br/>	It seemed like the more... vicious of the two aron was willing to join, but neither the gible, nor the other aron seemed to want to, unfortunately, and I could see why. Once they headed out, I headed out with them, and I tried to convince them with ""Look... I know everything kind of got off on the wrong foot, back there, but can't we give it a chance, at least? If they don't improve, and if we don't like it, then the three of us can just leave, okay?"" while I was asking them to join, I was apparently 'using' my pheromones without even knowing it. Had I known, though, I certainly would have tried to stop myself from doing that, since I didn't want to use them to force pokemon to do things that they didn't want to. Of course, just from heading out, I noticed just how much calmer the guild seemed to be... everyone was apologizing to the bidoof who they were throwing around, earlier, they were also cleaning up, and a few of them were taking their usual spots in the place while others headed towards the mission board, passing us as they did so. Soon enough, it was as if the chaos had never happened, but... how did they undo all of that so quickly? Heck, they were even telling everyone which pokemon was coming in, and occasionally arresting criminals who were stupid enough to try to enter the guild, that way... two minutes after the real guildmaster arrived, and they're already back to arresting criminals, somehow...<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/> <br/>	Tini IMMEDIATELY went for the hugs as SOON as he figured out that he had arms to officially hug things with, that is, after a short stint of holding two objects at once, and Eralion mentioned that we should probably buy some supplies for a long journey, and that seemed to make the most practical sense, but it seemed to be a waste to do that with a newly-gained fortune... and then I got a funny idea, what if we tried to start a guild of our own? Meh... it probably wouldn't work out, too well, anyways, and for all we knew, we'd need more money, and the other guildmasters were probably tougher than us, anyways. ""Sp-speaking of long journeys... ow... maybe we SHOULD go on one... there's... ack... apparently a weavile who was working for my dad from all the way near Kyurem's cave... maybe he... ouch... has information, or something..."" I said that while being more or less forced to stare at the criminal board thanks to Tini's death hug. I then tried to say something to the effect of 'I'd like to be able to move,' or 'Could you please not crush me?' but, unfortunately, Tini tightened his grip, which... made it hard for me to speak after I told them about the criminal.</div>"

""Pity I can't attack all of you at once."" she says before blasting one of them, full force with the moonblast, aiming on knocking out one of those jerks and make them consider running away. At least some of them considered that, but with the amount of them that was left, this would probably take time. Spruce seemed to at least have healed back from the damage he took, so that was good.

I held out my hand, my fingers barely an inch apart.<br/>	""Golly guys, no need to get all worked up over me,"" A Bidoof said by the ladders. Standing next to him were the Sunflora and Louded that had thrown him at me earlier; they were actually apologizing to him. All around, people were suddenly working together to clean up the guild and restore order. It was strangely calm. However, it was soon broken by a Chatot, who flew straight through the room and almost knocked the Bidoof over.<br/>	""He's back! Thank heavens, he's back!"" The Chatot screeched, flying into the Guildmaster's office and slamming the door behind him.<br/>	""Loudred, sentry duty,"" a Diglett said. ""I don't want to be here when he gets back out.""

The container was marked 'MISSINGNO. CHUNK #02' with a yellow label, and despite its surroundings, the label and the text on it looked relatively new. Our client seemed to follow us in and he was stunned, and speechless. ""Th-they... have... THAT!?"" I blurted out, after which, a familiar group consisting of a mudkip, snivy, and bulbasaur ran into the room, and past us due to some sort of super speed. ""So... this is the treasure you were trying to get to, huh?"" the snivy asked with his usual smug smile. However, before I could tell them something to the effect of 'wait, no!' or 'don't touch that!', they all went right for it... the weird substance seemed to flow into them as if it were a fluid, and it seemed to... corrupt them, somehow. Chunks of them were colored strangely, pieces of them seemed to blink in and out of existence, and once in a while, they seemed to be replaced with other things... or even pieces of a thing, or worse, pieces of multiple things that don't even physically connect to each other. The snivy, if you can still call it that, seemed to speak to the other two before teleporting away with what used to be a bulbasaur, leaving behind the... 'mudkip'... for lack of a better word to apparently deal with us, as the thing tried to attack me with... something? I had no idea what hit me, but it felt sharp, and it felt icy, somehow. <br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Blaze]<br/><br/>	It seemed like they were on the fence, but before I could tell them anything else, a sunflora named Sally showed up and assumed we were new recruits... much like everyone else seemed to assume. It seemed like everyone else was just about ready to head to the rooms, and that felt like a good place to discuss everything, so, agreeing, I said ""Yeah, let's head there, and plan things out... I... really hope you want to join with me. It's not going to be easy doing this on my own,"" Sally seemed oblivious to us as she talked on and on about 'more newbies' and how 'these ones will stay! I know it!', and oddly enough, she started almost every sentence with the words 'oh my gosh!' or some variant of that. The rooms weren't too far from the guildmaster's room, and they seemed nice. Ours had four beds that looked comfy enough, and four bags that seemed to almost be full, already. Each bag also had a gleaming, white badge on it with the guild's symbol in the middle. I wasn't entirely sure what the badges did, but from what I've seen, these things were absolutely MAGICAL, they sometimes spoke to their owners, and let them teleport both themselves and other pokemon away to who-knows-where. It wasn't easy for me to hide my excitement as I ran up to one of the bags and tried to see what it had... disappointingly, it only had some berries, including a couple that I would probably never have to use, though, there also seemed to be an odd ribbon or bow, and a map that seemed to be mostly fog for some reason. The only places that weren't foggy on the map were Birchwood forest, the town and guild, and the northern volcano... where I previously lived. Thinking that this was some sort of clue that I was a wild pokemon, I stashed the map and tried to make sure that nobody else saw its contents, after which, I asked ""So... what did you want to talk about? Erm... any concerns? As I said, I'm going to join, a-and I'd like it if you could, too,""<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	After our display of strength, most of the ambush seemed to flee, leaving just one guy behind. That one guy decided to use sucker punch on me, dealing a bit of damage, and causing me to just counter with a vine whip, which has since become an oddly powerful move, and which he couldn't exactly take. ""So... with that distraction out of the way, where do you think that arcanine might have gone? I'd look for tracks, but the constant snow in this place would probably have covered them by now,"" I point out to Celes, who was the one who made them flee with her intimidation. The place seemed to have a bunch of ice types running around, but we both knew that there was at least one insane arcanine in this place, still. I tried to look around, but, unfortunately, found no luck. I tried to listen for anything unusual, maybe a random shout of ""BARRY!"" from him, but again, nothing... where could he be? Why would he want to avoid us? Did he think we were the police? Then again, considering the state of this world, we might as well have been police... so... maybe that's why he was hiding from us.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	Since it seemed like Josh didn't have anything to say, I considered the mission complete, and used the badge's teleport function to FINALLY teleport back to Wally's guild. That was certainly a long mission, and I was looking forward to something a bit more straightforward this time. As I headed back to the rooms, I looked around, having missed the old place in the time I was gone. The warmth, the safety, heck, even the other guildmembers. I slid across the wooden floors, thankful that it wasn't snow, ice, or super-heated metal for once, and went right to my bed, which seemed oddly unchanged during the time my team was gone. ""Well... I'm glad we did that, but if you don't mind, I'd REALLY like to be able to come back to the guild tomorrow, too, heh,"" I said to Josh as he most likely went to sleep, something I would really like to do, myself. Maybe tomorrow, he'll get to talk to his newly-rescued girlfriend some more, and maybe we'll find the location of another orb, too.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	Tini finally let go, and started hugging himself, finally letting both Eralion and I breathe. ""Whew... er, I mean, thanks, Tini... hey, it's been a long day, maybe we should get some rest for tomorrow. Who knows what that might hold, right?"" I then tell Tini and Eralion as I head down to the rooms. I ended up passing by a familiar-looking sligoo, and a new group of pokemon, one that consisted of a female salandit, a male aron, and a male gible... and I shook my head as I heard them talking. That salandit probably just used her allure to force those two poor pokemon to work for her... sure, I occasionally used attract, but only to stop enemies, not force my friends to form a team with me. Using something like that on one's own friends, or even complete strangers to try to get them to do things like that was low, not as low as my father, but still low. Soon enough, I found my room among the others, and somehow, it still had a few bits of shed skin here and there from when William first changed... poor fool hasn't been the same since. That bit of nasty, shed skin also reminded me of another... a treecko who got us into trouble by nearly burning down the plains... and eventually just... wandered off, never to be seen again. <span class=""bb-i"">I wonder if we'll ever figure out where that treecko went after he left my team... and didn't that sligoo team used to also have a combee in it? Odd...</span> I thought as I tried to get some sleep, though, remembering those few pokemon who I'd likely never see again was kind of keeping me up at night.<br/></div>"

On these beds were bags that had what he’d guess to be the guild badges, some berries, and a map. An incomplete one, but he supposed that since they are adventurers, they need to explore and open up the map more.<br/><br/>Thinking about that made Gren remember why he was here in the first place. He didn’t leave home just to find somewhere to chill in peace: he wanted to see the world and all the new things he’s never witnessed before. Admittedly some of the things he’s seen thus far is strange and a little bit scary, but what was he some sort of coward? If he gets scared off by good but weird Pokémon? He’d never be an adventurer!

What kind of unholy power were they up against now? Shedinja assassins? Actually, wait, it was just those guys… How in the world did they get here? Wait, treasure?<br/><br/>Before Rebecca could even process what they meant, they went straight for the goop. They were all, as she expected, transformed in very unsettling, chaotic ways that seemed to defy all sense of biology or even reality. They still seemed to be perfectly capable of communicating in some strange language, though, and two of them teleported away, leaving what used to be a mudkip. It attacked Nina, somehow, and Rebecca gasped, reflexively responding by going back to her tried and true tactic of using Confusion to fling a random object at the creature.<br/><br/>“Nina!” Rebecca cried. “Are you ok?!” She hoped that this weird thing wasn’t contagious or anything, in which case she doubted things could get any worse.</div>"

""That's what I was thinking. This doesn't seem like a regular guild,"" I said. ""A guild is supposed to teach you about exploring and help you along. This isn't really what I thought it'd be like.""<br/><br/>	Magma clearly still wanted to join, though. I don't know about him, but what I needed was organization and direction, and this place had neither. The entire guild went insane just a few hours ago, and I still didn't know if that was normal or not.<br/><br/>	Yet somehow they had been organized enough to set up a room for us. On my bed, there was a bag with an explorers' badge pinned proudly to its side. This wasn't the great Scale City Explorer's Guild I'd always wanted to join, but it was something. There was an explorer's badge there for me if I wanted it. Even a map. I carefully took the map and unrolled it, feeling the rough paper in my hands and examining every little detail of its markings - this was what real explorers used. I put it back. It all looked so perfect I didn't want to touch anything else.<br/><br/>	If I went back to Scale City, what were the chances I would actually join the guild? Maybe this is what I'd been waiting for. Nobody would notice if I was gone for a couple days - certainly not my parents. They were probably still upset with me.<br/><br/>	""I'll try it,"" I said to Magma. ""I'll see where it goes. Maybe I'll stay. I don't know. But I'm not making any promises, okay?""</div>"

When I said everyone scampered off, it really seemed they just immediately left the cave and went elsewhere, possibly on more adventures or taking a break elsewhere. I didn't even notice Kamina's disappearance as I was lost in my thoughts, alone in the dimly lit cave - it seemed darker and eerie, with the ice that helped brighten up the cave melting and disappearing without Kyreum's influence. The air became still and a bit damp, not exactly forgiving on my steel coating but certainly warmer than before. If we hadn't just fought a good portion of ice Pokemon in existence, I wouldn't have recognised it as Kyreum's dungeon.<br/><br/>I let my magnets droop, eye furrowed as I scanned around the cave, coming up empty about the creeping darkness. Scowling to myself and with not much else to do, I hovered over closer to the pedastal. ""Just you and me crystal."" I whispered to myself, keeping my eye on its points. It seemed to be out of place against the rounded rocks and wind-carved walls, and if anything it seemed better to take it away for aesthetics. Even if we were saving the world, the idea of taking it didn't sit well with me: Last time we took a crystal, an entire ocean somehow got replaced by Giratina's dimension. I'm surprised we haven't been targeted for that.<br/><br/>With a croak in my first word, I spoke out. ""Tell me... is this the right thing to do?"" No response from the grey crystal, floating and bobbing in the air without wavering. ""Are there alternatives? How do we limit the damage? Only five minutes in and I'm already talking to myself."" I knew it was a stupid idea to talk to a hunk of glass, but at least it wouldn't judge compared to the townsfolk, who might do more than politely disagree with what I was about to do. (They had no idea, but if I informed them then they probably wouldn't want me to create an exclusion zone to stop some unknown threat.)<br/><br/>Something else came to mind: <span class=""bb-i"">What if I was just overthinking it? Am I just melodramatic? Would anyone really miss a dungeon being a potential exclusion zone? It wouldn't really be the end of the world compared to something we were trying to prevent.</span> Yes, my thoughts were careless, but I couldn't quite disagree with myself - the more time I spent waiting, the less time we would have to convince Giratina to stay away from our realm.<br/><br/>So with that, I picked the least worst option. I slowly reached out to the crystal with unease, magnets facing flat beneath the points. The next moments were quite surreal, remembering only a rush of grey beyond my vision as my magnet impulsively slammed at my badge. A quick white flash distracted me from blinking as I suddenly found myself within the familiar warmth of Arnold's Guild, noticeably quieter than usual as I took deep breaths. Potentially dooming a whole town was worringly easy, and I didn't even have the guts to warn anyone. ""Arceus damn... I hope it was worth it."" I muttered to myself, keeping to myself as I passed by the local board and some watchful Pokemon, heading to our room. I was somewhat surprised to see Kamina splayed just beyond the massive-size bed he was on, and I was sort of expecting someone else from our team to be around to talk to. There wasn't really anyone though.<br/><br/>I settled myself in, hovering into our room and closing the door as we came in. Our placed looked as diorganised as before, with blankets strewn around and a few of our belongings in the wrong places. I eyed Kamina for a moment as I set the crystal down with a clink not far from the door, as I lied down in bed and tuckered a blanket or two over myself. It took a while for me to fall sleep in the dull grey light of the crystal as I closed my eye, troubled at both what I just did and the dreams that followed.</div>"

It seemed like forever since Josh had been to the guild. He'd almost forgotten what it looked like. Almost immediately, Anthony went to bed, and Josh didn't blame him. He was exhausted too, but he didn't feel right leaving Kiera in the dark until morning. ""Hold on a moment, Anthony. I think Kiera should at least know what's going on before we head off to bed, don't you think?""<br/><br/>   Kiera nodded in agreement. ""You all seem to be good friends with Josh, but I've never met any of you. I'd rather not wait until morning.""<br/><br/>   Josh heard his stomach growl. It had been a long time since he'd had a full meal. ""It's been a while since we've eaten. Aren't you hungry too, Anthony? It's not that late. I'm sure they'll still have food in the mess hall.""<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   As Nina and Rebecca went on to another room, Dexter hung behind. He had to take a minute to recover after that last battle. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted something on the floor - the berry that Nina had thrown to him earlier. He walked over and popped it in his mouth, and began to feel the effects almost immediately as the pain from his injuries began to fade.<br/><br/>   Just as he was about to rejoin the rest of his team, a trio of blurry figures dashed past him. He knew who they were almost immediately. They were the ones that had stolen their mission yesterday. ""Sneaky little fuckers!"" He began to run after them. ""Get back here! I'm gonna kick your asses!""<br/><br/>   He followed them into the room Rebecca and Nina went into, only to find that they'd been warped and distorted, just like that Buneary from a few days ago. As two of them teleported away, the Mudkip stayed behind to fight them - at least, that's what Dexter thought it was. With how badly it had been warped and mutated, it was hard to tell. Normally Bite would be Dexter's go-to attack in this situation, but he really didn't want this thing anywhere near his mouth. Flame Wheel would have to do, type disadvantages be damned.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Donovan]<br/>   They were all led to a room, which had a bed for each of them. The others seemed like they were just about ready to go to sleep. Maybe the ass kicking would have to wait until tomorrow. He was about to go wash the paint off his face like he did every night, but then he realized something. The only reason he did it in the first place was because his mom made him, and she wasn't there. He could leave the paint on all night if he wanted.<br/><br/>   Grinning to himself, Donovan took a look at the bag and badge sitting next to the bed. Taking a look at the badge first, he noticed that it had several buttons on it. He wasn't entirely sure what any of them did, so he pushed a bunch of them at random. ""What do these do?""<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">""What do these do?""</span><br/><br/>   He looked over as he heard a second voice copy him. It came from over where Magma was, but it sure didn't sound like Magma. ""Who said that?""<br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i"">""Who said that?""</span><br/><br/>   Donovan rushed over to Magma, and looked around. He couldn't see where the voice was coming from, though. ""Is someone else hiding over here?""<br/><br/>   This time, the voice came from Donovan's bag. <span class=""bb-i"">""Is someone else hiding over here?""</span><br/><br/>   He hadn't quite realized that the voice he was hearing was his own. He'd probably end up running back and forth for a while, unless one of his teammates stopped him.</div>"

I guess it wasn't QUITE time to sleep yet, and to be honest, I WAS very hungry, so I agreed with ""Yeah, I guess we should get something to eat, first, and we can finally introduce ourselves to your... um... friend,"" I then turned around, and Kiera talked about how she didn't know anyone but Josh, and I answered with ""Yeah, we're kind of... a rescue team that your friend is a part of, we're Team Scarab, and I'm their leader by default, Anthony,"" Just after that, Static decided to poke his head out of my bag, again, and he seemed to glare at Kiera for a moment before whispering ""She knows where one is,"" and forcing me to introduce him as we headed to the mess hall. ""The, uh, pichu isn't really a member of the team, but he's important, nonetheless... he told us about our OTHER mission, this one involving those 'orbs of balance'... his name's Static, and he says he acts like a map for them, but he hasn't... really... been doing that,"" I added that second part after recalling what he's been up to and how little he's actually helped us on this journey. We then finally make it to the mess hall, and it seemed like they were getting ready to close for the day, but, upon seeing us, the chef said ""Oh, THERE you are! It's been AGES, Anthony, here, I'll stay open just a little bit late, I'm sure it's been AGES since you've had a proper meal,"" I smiled at the chef, and took a freshly-made dinner plate before heading to the closest seat, since all the seats were available at this time.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Nina]<br/><br/>	I flinched as the thing bit me, unfortunately missing my opportunity to attack, but it didn't seem like I changed, at all... my pendant was glowing, but that was normal... wait... maybe that's what protected me. ""Well, guys, I've got some good news, and some bad news... good news, that glitch stuff doesn't seem to spread, at least, not to me, but uh... bad news, that thing can still use some of its old attacks,"" I said as the... sign... psyduck... statue... THING seemed to start charging something up. Whatever it was charging, that was probably not going to be good... but how were we going to stop the attack, especially with me flinching like I did back there? Dexter then ran into it with Flame Wheel, and surprisingly enough, this thing didn't seem to resist the attack, despite having once been a mudkip. Rebecca then asked if I was okay, and I answered ""I... I'm fine, just a little freaked out,"" after that, a mug found its way onto the creatures... top part. That part might have been the head, or it might not have been, either way, the object did some extra damage to the creature as it continued charging whatever it had planned for us, next. I decided to try to search the room for anything useful, only finding weird tubes, and glass containers of the... stuff... and, for some reason, mugs, plates, and other stuff dealing with food. Usually, you wouldn't leave food in a place that has weird, probably poisonous stuff in it, but these guys apparently didn't care.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	""Yeah, it's a real shame... it would be so much easier to find the guy if he was his usual loud, insane self,"" I replied to Celes, who seemed to be a bit mad that our client was suddenly silent when we needed to find him. I then tried looking everywhere for the guy, and the few times where I thought I heard someone shout something, I later found out that it was just the wind. Worse sill was the fact that the sun seemed to be going down, which really didn't help someone like me, who hated the cold. The snow under my leafy feet grew even colder as the day became  night, and it was clear that we weren't getting anywhere with this today. ""Maybe we should just make a camp, and get some sleep here... it's... g-g-getting l-late a-and c-c-cold,"" I suggested as I used my vines to gather some relatively dry branches for a campfire. I then started just tossing the vines used in my vine whip attack on the pile, as well. It was getting late, and if I wanted to be anywhere near warm, I'd have to get this fire started, and keep it going throughout the night... in the distance, I could almost hear something approaching, but, that could be ANY pokemon, and knowing our luck, it probably wasn't our client.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Blaze]<br/><br/>	Gren seemed to have a few concerns, but it seemed like Gavin was on board, at least. I started to explain what little I could gather from what happened here, today, and answered with ""It seems like the badge teleports us, and it probably teleports us here... so, seems like we'll at least be teleporting on our own terms, from here on out, as for the... chaotic pokemon, I feel like there's an option to not deal with pokemon like that in our missions, and this seemed like an exception, rather than the rule... erm, at least, it seemed like it was to me,"" after that explanation, the other aron, whose name I didn't get, started playing with the badges, pressing a button to have his voice sent to... my badge... odd. I had no idea they could do that. ""I... think the badge is making that voice, um... actually, what IS your name, sir?"" I told him in response, though, I also had to know... if we were going to be on a team, we might as well know each other's names... then again, I was, at this point, hiding behind a more manly name, but that was for a good reason, and I'd probably respond to ""Magma"" anyways. <span class=""bb-i"">It's not like I'm a criminal for hiding behind a different name, right? I'm just using it so they don't know that I'm female... that's all...</span> I thought as I noticed a lopunny, of all things pass by our open door... she seemed to ignore us, though, but I suppose we WERE new here, so that was probably going to be normal.<br/> </div>"

Being a grass type, he probably was getting lot of issues with the cold here. She just moved forwards and just stayed near him, trying to go and warm him up, trying to make sure he would be ok. “I guess we could get some sleep, but please do stay very close to me. “ she said before going and helping him to make the fire, using some sticks and trying to rub them quickly to start the fire. It was then that she heard something coming towards then. She raised her ears, on her guard. “We are not alone.. something coming… I am not sure what it is.” She then said before looking towards the direction where the sound was coming from, making sure to stay close to Spruce as she look forwards.

As they all sat down to eat, Josh took it upon himself to explain. ""There are four of them, and my understanding they give life force to four different kinds of Pokemon. If any of the orbs break, all Pokemon of that type will slowly wither away. That's why it's so important that we find them, so we can protect them. There's one for regular Pokemon, like you and I, which we've already found. There's also the Void, Shadow, and Light Orbs, though we haven't found the latter two yet.""<br/><br/>   Keira looked down, as if lost in thought. ""The Shadow Orb, huh?""<br/><br/>   ""Yes... that's one of them. We haven't found the Light Orb either, though."" He found it odd that she would focus only on that one. He then remembered what Static said earlier. Could it have been true? ""Keira, if you know even the smallest detail of where it might-""<br/><br/>   ""Zane knows where the Shadow Orb is.""<br/><br/>   For a moment, everything went silent. Several seconds passed before Josh finally spoke up. ""Are... are you sure about this?""<br/><br/>   Keira nodded. ""I was hiding from a couple of Zane's lackeys, and overheard them talking about it. It's in a dungeon about a day's swim from the reef, but they never mentioned which direction."" She looked up at the others. ""I do have some good news, though. Even if he is after it, he's probably far too preoccupied with us to even consider going for it right now. Also, I don't think he knows how important it is. He sees it as just another treasure for him to throw in his vault.""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   Flame Wheel, for some reason, did a lot more than Dexter was expecting. Whatever this thing was now, it didn't resist his fire anymore. Dexter grinned, but that grin disappeared when that thing began charging something up. It could end badly if this ended up hitting someone. There didn't seem to be anything in the room they could take cover behind, either. Thinking quickly, Dexter took a running start to build up speed before using Flame Wheel. He was going to try to knock this thing off balance and throw off its aim, even if he wasn't entirely sure that it was possible.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Donovan]<br/>   Donovan hadn't realized until the Salandit asked for his name, but none of the people in the room had heard of him. That was to be expected. He wasn't a gladiator yet, but one of these days, people around the world would know his name! He stood up on the bed, and spoke loud enough that everyone in the room, and probably neighboring rooms as well, could hear him. ""I am Donovan Steele! Remember this day.

The sun gently rises over the horizon, the cotton-candy and orange skies slowly moving into view as dawn approaches. All is calm. All is quiet. All is Loudred. <br/><br/>	Wait. <br/>		Oh no. <br/>The silence and gentility of the morning breaks with the uproar of the guild’s wake-up call. It comes without warning, unrelenting, metaphorical sound barriers breaking as guildmates are quickly awoken from their serenity and whisked away from peaceful dreams into the nightmarish existence of - <br/><br/> <span class=""bb-i""><span class=""bb-b"">UP AND AT ‘EM! IT’S MORNING! </span></span><br/><br/>The vibrating soundwaves of the guild’s overpowering alarm clock echo through the building, enough to shake the guildmaster office room - shaking a cylindrical cone full of coffee, down into a spiral, pouring gently into the waiting mug held by the scrawny, 3-D spec wearing current guildmaster - Breen Torrents.  “Thank you, Loudred.” Upstairs, Breen’s wide awake, dangling his feet over the guildmaster office desk, sitting atop it, raising his mug. “The perfect cup of coffee - hours of preparation, brewed carefully, and poured to perfection by vibrating soundwaves. Amazing.” He grins, taking a sip, and immediately spitting it out, tossing the mug behind him. <br/><br/>In front of him, the droplets of coffee drizzle down the invisible force that is (invisible to most Pokemon, but with Breen’s void 3-D Specs, he can see him just fine!) - Guildmaster Wally.<br/>“Oh, right. Sorry, Wally.” From behind him, a lighter pink Wigglytuff perks their ears up. “Yeah?” <br/><br/>This is not Wally. Or rather, not our Wally. They’ll be named - Not Our Wally - or Lolly! You can tell because their fur tone is lighter, they’re gently sparkling (shiny Pokemon!), and they have green eyes. Oh yeah, and they’re a girl. <br/><br/>	“No, not… you, Wally. This Wally. Invisible Wally. Who’s currently soaked in coffee, Wally. Coffee Wally, go sit in the corner for a hot sec, I need to talk to Wally. Not our Wally. That Wally…” He holds his head, shaking. “Oh, wolly…” <br/><br/>	“So... Do you remember anything about… getting here in the first place? Like, this is great! This is wicked, wicked cool!” Breen walks around Lolly, holding a piece of equipment from earlier, beeping around the Wigglytuff. “I’ve seen some crazy stuff in my time at the guild, but this takes the cake…” <br/><br/>	Lolly grabs Breen’s arm, quickly maneuvering around to grab the device out of his hands. “Where did you…” She manages to press and play around with it, before the inconsistent beeping comes out more clearly - the device blinking green. “In the short time I’ve been in… erm, your guild, I haven’t seen anything like this… it’s far more common where I’m from; why, it even runs on Perfect Pears!” <br/><br/>	“Pears? Ugh, disgusting, in our universe, we… oh, that’s it, isn’t it! You’re not from around here.... Literally!” He snatches his device back, beeping back around the Wigglytuff. “Of course, of course! I got this device from my dad… he’s pretty keen into all that conspiracy alternate timeline other universe type stuff, but I never thought it was… real… you’re from a timeline and universe not connected to ours… one with… stuff like this! Beeping thing!”<br/><br/>	Lolly speaks up, still lost in thought thinking about her Perfect Pears… “Oh! Yes, we have plenty of more stuff like that where I’m from… and they’re all relatively easy to make! Most of which I’m sure you can fashion from this very room!” <br/><br/>					“Oh yeah?

Typically this is where rescue teams get debriefed for big missions and expeditions, or various other news regarding jobs and guild tasks for the day - in most cases, basic chores. <br/>	With the recent weird behavior of what the guild members believe to be THEIR guildmaster Wigglytuff, the guild has been acting up, with Charlie attempting to calm the bustling and uneasy crowd - constant murmurs of rumors, Pokemon talking back and forth regarding their jobs, their pay, any piece of gossip or uneasiness going on with the rest of the world. Bidoof quietly whispering to folks in the back, Swellow causing a ruckus, other Pokemon questioning why they’re even there - when the silence is suddenly broken by a loud, metallic melody - <br/><br/> <span class=""bb-b"">DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNN</span>. Beethoven. The guildmaster door opens. The Pokemon peer around as a figure makes its way out with a large guitar strapped around his body. <br/> <span class=""bb-b"">DUN DUN dun dunnnnnnnnn….</span><br/><br/>	Breen smiles, tilting his head up from the guitar, flashing his 3-D specs at his awaiting audience, raising both arms. “Goooooooooood moooorning, Wigglytuff Guild! Are you ready to ROCK!” <br/><br/>	The crowd is silent. <br/><br/>	“Right! Okay! Cool! Probably too early for any of this, really… uh, now I’m sure you’re all wondering why you’re here, what’s going on, who I am, how I’m doing, when I got here… questions, expositions, yadda yadda yadda…” He plays another riff on his guitar. <br/><br/>“As you may have already heard per my last announcement - the Wigglytuff to my right… Lolly walks out next to Breen with a wave, chomping on a perfect Pear. “Is not our Wigglytuff…” <span class=""bb-b"">DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNN</span>. “Where is Guildmaster Wally? Well…” Another guitar riff, and Breen leans against the open space next to him - leaning on the invisible Wally… “Right here! Duh! Get your eyes checked, folks… or get a pair of my glasses, whichever comes first…” <span class=""bb-b"">DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNN.</span> <br/><br/>	“Now, I’d love to stay and chat - but we gotta explain ourselves here - it’s not every day you see a Pokemon from another universe… <span class=""bb-b"">dun dun dun dun…</span> and an invisible Pokemon stuck in the other Pokemon’s universe… <span class=""bb-b"">dun dun dun dun…</span>” He smiles, standing back up, playing his electric guitar. “How did she get here? You may ask yourself… this is not my Guildmaster… where does he come from? How do we save Wally? What does this mean? Who is this Swampert?” <br/><br/>“Right! Introductions! He-ll-oo! I’m Breen. Breen Torrents. Swampert. Music enthusiast. Comic-book collector. Lover of dragons. The oncoming storm. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I’m your guildmaster while we figure out this whole Wigglytuff situation!

Josh was finally able to sleep in a comfortable bed instead of out in the cold, and on top of that, Kiera was safe. Still, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. Ever since he left the reef, he'd been trying as hard as he could to stay as far away from it as possible. There was no doubt in his mind that going after this orb would lead to a confrontation with Zane. He'd certainly grown much stronger, but was he strong enough for this?<br/><br/>   The next morning, Josh woke up with these thoughts still plaguing his mind. Not wanting the others to worry, he tried his best to keep a neutral expression on his face as he went down to get breakfast.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Dexter]<br/>   If it was up to him, Dexter would keep going. Unfortunately, his team wanted to stop for the night, and he didn't want to just go out there alone. ""Fine. I'll stay up for a while. I don't want anything weird to show up and try to off us in our sleep."" With that, he began keeping an eye on their surroundings, while the others slept. For the first few hours, nothing happened. Dexter was beginning to get a little tired at that point, though. He walked up to Rebecca, and shook her awake. ""Hey. Mind keeping an eye on things for a little bit?"" Once he was sure that Rebecca was awake, he went to sleep for the rest of the night.<br/><br/>   Thankfully, nothing had happened up until the point that he woke up. Once everyone else was awake, he spoke up. ""Alright, you've gotten your beauty sleep. Let's go. I want to get the fuck out of here.""<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/>[Donovan]<br/>   Once the others decided to go to bed, Donovan did the same.

REPORT TO OUTSIDE THE GUILDMASTER’S OFFICE FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! PrrRRRRONTO!""<br/><br/>   The thundering voice woke Donovan from his slumber. So far, this was the only voice Donovan heard that was louder than him. After taking a moment to stretch a little, he was wide awake. ""Are we gonna get to kick someone's ass today?"" He asked his new teammates. Though this likely came as no surprise to them, he was very eager to get into a fight.<br/><br/>   Donovan headed on down to the guildmaster's office, like the announcement told him to. Once there, he saw the same Swampert and Wigglytuff that they saw yesterday, but apparently that Wigglytuff wasn't the guildmaster. The real one was invisible, as most of the people in the crowd had figured out when the Swampert leaned on him. Donovan, however, hadn't quite figured it out. ""Right where? I don't see him."" He whispered to his teammates.""</div>"

Guildmaster Wally was not Guildmaster Wally - Guildmaster Wally was invisible - someone was stuck in another universe - The Oncoming Storm was actually Breen Torrents - Breen had assumed control of this guild and now needed an expedition team.<br/><br/>	Wait - what if that's why he called us to his office? I was too busy having a late dinner, and some of the others were already asleep, anyway. I just wanted to ignore it. What if he chose us because we were new and expendable?<br/><br/>	""Right where?"" Donovan whispered when Breen mentioned Guildmaster Wally was here. ""I don't see him.""<br/><br/>	""I don't either,"" I said. I leaned over to see past a Chimecho blocking my view.

Sure, <span class=""bb-i"">she</span> didn’t generally like rules, but maybe basic causality and some sort of fabric of reality were probably better rules than most. She wasn’t even sure how this area could be “safe” if it could change at any moment, which was why she was all too happy to take the second shift for the “night” watch while everyone else slept.<br/><br/>When Dexter woke up, Rebecca nodded slowly, munching on her second Chesto berry of the “day.”<br/><br/>“Yeah,” she drowsily agreed. “Let’s get the fuck out of here…” She drifted off.

The client seemed to be going on and on about how many possibilities this place had, and how amazing it would be to research the place, but with every description of it, he just made this place sound more and more like a place we had to leave... NOW. ""Yeah, I agree, let's get out of here as soon as we can... sorry that I kind of fell asleep, earlier,"" I said to the other two members of my party, who seemed to agree that this place was no place for a normal pokemon, and thus, I tried to head forwards... only for my body to move to the left... great, so not only was this place messed up, and probably going to rearrange us into a giant, barely living smiley face, but we couldn't even MOVE correctly in it. This seemed to confuse the client, who tried their best to follow me, but... ended up going backwards, and thus, farther away from me. I passed by several completely random landmarks, including a piece of a hill mixed with a picture of an empoleon, and a 'lake' with some lava parts on it, and the temperature of the place, not to mention the texture of the ground under me seemed to change almost at complete random... worse, still, it wasn't too long before I encountered... something. It looked like another rectangular mess of randomly-colored squares, but it didn't QUITE look like the rectangular monster we knew and hated at this point. The creature then used some weird beam made out of more of those rectangles, hitting me with that, dealing some damage, and... making me feel weaker... and smaller. Wait, did that thing just make LOSE an evolution!? How was THAT even possible?<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Spruce]<br/><br/>	I eventually woke up to notice some drool on my leafy arm... that's odd, neither Celes nor I drooled in our sleep. I then looked up to see a crazed arcanine staring me down hungrily. I backed away, only for him to shout ""HEY! Where are you going, Frank!? I need you for food! Times are desperate, and you look like food to me!"" before I could answer back, the arcanine coated himself in flames, and charged towards me, at full speed. I tried to find some way to get out of this, but he was just too fast for me, and I took the hit... as much as the heat SHOULD have felt nice, a super-effective attack was still a super-effective attack, and that didn't feel good, at all. ""What's the matter, Frank? Normally, you LIKE it when I run into you while I'm on fire, what's different about this time? Is your 'Flashy Flame' ability not working? OH WELL! THAT MAKES THIS EASIER!"" the arcanine shouted in response to my reaction to his attack... I then thought for a moment... campfire, no, that won't do any good... a snowball would just be not very effective, even if it would cool him off, a bit... Celes is bound to do something on her own... I then checked my bag, finding a berry that seems to have gone bad. Thinking quickly, I decide to throw the rot that was once a berry at the arcanine, who caught it in his mouth, and just ate it like it wasn't a pile of poisonous fungus... and poisonous, that fungus was, as he immediately seemed to look around even more confused than he usually was, and even commented with ""Frank, did you turn off the sun, again? How many times have I told you to stop doing that!?"" seems like the grimy food blinded him... good, we could use that, especially if it's only temporary.<br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Anthony]<br/><br/>	I woke up to the usual shout from Larry, only to end up in some weird speech about how this apparently wasn't 'our' guildmaster... what in the world? <span class=""bb-i"">This Swampert seems like he's even crazier than Mark... other worlds much like ours, but very different? And what's he even leaning on?</span> I thought as I made my way over to the cafeteria, where Josh was still talking to Kiera about something... I only just barely managed to overhear that Zane was somehow involved in all of this. ""Wait... ZANE, as in, that guy who we've been hiding you from? HE knows where one of these orbs are?"" I asked, either not hearing, or not remembering her saying that last night. Soon enough, Daniel and Devon seemed to join Josh in talking to her... properly introducing themselves in the process with Daniel starting off with ""That sounds awful, oh, and uh... since a certain forgetful slug forgot to tell you, I'm Daniel... I... I'm just an ordinary murkrow... but uh, I've been helping these guys for a little while,"" and Devon continuing with ""I have no idea who this is, but I can tell from reading your mind that this is bad news... oh, sorry for doing that without introducing myself. I'm Devon... apparently I supposedly 'met' Anthony and company around the same time as Daniel did, but I'm actually rather new to the group,"" with those introductions out of the way, I asked ""Josh... do you think we're ready to take on Zane? I know he's scary, but we've gotten a lot stronger since the last time we saw him... maybe he, uh, didn't also get stronger? Let's at least hope he didn't do that,""<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Bonnie]<br/><br/>	I finally woke up with the thoughts of those mysterious, disappeared pokemon allowing me no rest, and I seemed to almost aimlessly bounce towards the bulletin board paying no mind to the morning announcements. Same old chant, same old swampert talking about parallel universes, something about half an a press, I wasn't paying attention. With how we defeated that gallade, it almost seemed like nothing could really stop us, that was, until I saw who was next up on the outlaw board... a strikingly familiar-looking conkeldurr that whose last known location was a familiar mansion. There was no way that my dad would still be there, right? And... even so, we... we won't just faint in one hit like last time, right? We're... stronger, now... we're better, now, and we've even all evolved, since then. It took me some time to gather up my courage to do so, but eventually, I took that job notice off of the outlaw board, and headed over to my team, even announcing with uncharacteristic confidence ""Everyone... we're going back to that mansion!"" before showing them the job notice. The reward was pretty nice, too, set at thousands of pokedollars, even after the guild takes most of it away, though, the difficulty was listed as a 'star', whatever that meant... it can't be too difficult, right? There's no way he's THAT strong, and even so, we're probably at least a match for him at this point.<br/><br/><hr class=""bb-hr""/><br/><br/>[Blaze]<br/><br/>	The swampert from yesterday seemed to talk about how the guildmaster that returned to us wasn't the same one that left us, and he seemed to demonstrate this by showing off a pear, and then leaning on... nothing. I had MANY questions, so once I got a chance to say something, anything, I asked ""Wait... WHAT!? So, that's not our guildmaster, and YOU'RE not our guildmaster, so... where IS the guildmaster, and who are you?"" of course, looking back, it seemed like my question had some obvious answers, but even so, this whole situation was a complete puzzle, and one that was out of my league. A lopunny seemed to just skip past the speech, as if she thought she was more important than any of us, and she ran back to one of the rooms... what, was the announcement too unimportant for a superstar like... whoever she was? I then looked around as the guild seemed to shout and jeer at Breen for a moment, some of them apparently calling him out for having a table painted to perfectly blend into a wall just for him to lean on, and I almost agreed with them, at least, that was, until the 'table' seemed to move, probably causing Breen to fall over. The invisible thing then ran past a few guild members, and up to Gavin, who it seemed to try to talk to, first, and then it tried to lift him up... one way or another, SOMETHING weird was going on, and Breen might either know what, or might have something to do with it... considering what little we knew about him, it was likely both. The wigglytuff that was apparently not our guildmaster then span around on one foot like a dancer, something that, according to the surprised faces of everyone else at the guild, the guildmaster wouldn't normally do.</div>"

Going back to that accursed place again? He looked at Bonnie, hearing her confidence and seeing that it was the conkeldurr that we would need to go and deal with. He stayed calm as he then cracks his knuckles and his neck a bit. “If we are going back... then we should get ready and bring anything we will need for the fight. It might end up being though and there might be traps… so let us be careful here.” He then said calmly to the group. To beat the living hell of that jerk that works for Bonnie’s father… that will be gratifying enough of a reward.<br/><br/></div>"

29202,Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void,OOC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19101-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-explorers-of-the-void,"['Large Group', 'Fandom', 'Casual']",2014-03-15 04:54:00,Lugia,"<div style=""white-space:pre-wrap;"">Welcome to Allure Town, located just a tiny bit to the east of its rival, Treasure Town and home to Arnold the audino's guild, where he is assisted by Archie the archen. Oddly enough, Treasure town and Allure town are often thought of as one town, given that the two are actually connected, with a place known as pokemon square connecting the two of them. Arnold and Wally the wigglytuff are fierce rivals, with the two often fighting whenever they see each other. These fights take an entire week to finish, and always end in a draw, however, the guildmasters aren't the only ones who don't get along... the guild members don't like each other either, though, thankfully, they don't typically get into fights with one another unless provoked. With the number of mystery dungeons increasing, the number of pokemon wanting to be explorers seems to have increased sharply, as well. Human artifacts from days long since passed may be found in some mystery dungeons, however, most of the time, they'll be broken, or otherwise unusable... that is, except to sell to the nearest shop.<br/><br/>It's not all sunshine and happiness, however, as the void crystals, an odd artifact that has long since kept Giratina trapped in his own realm, have become the target of a pair of thieves. The void crystals, once stolen, have a horrible effect on the surrounding area, an effect that at least matches the magnitude and gravity of their time gear cousins. Like the time gears from the Dialga incident about nine years before the events in this RP take place, they are usually not taken, except by only the most vile of all criminal scum, given that they're the only thing keeping the void, Giratina's realm, from leaking into this realm, a process which usually destroys any pokemon that's unlucky enough to be close to the crystal and replaces a section of this world with itself.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Timeline"" type=""button"">Timeline [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Long Before Pokémon: 2340 A.D-2990 A.D<br/><br/>The world's nations were all at the verge of another giant war. Every normal citizen could see that war coming, they knew it was going to happen. The world's longest cold war was now going on, and for generations the business of making bunkers saw a huge spike in sales. People whose parents and or grandparents came from outside of any given country were deported, and immigration of all kinds was considered illegal. The average citizen at this time lived in constant fear of possible bombings and a war starting up in their neighborhood. Many families simply lived in their bunkers, actually giving their house to random homeless people. It wasn't a very good time to be alive.<br/><br/>Davis The Porygon: January 1st, 2991 A.D<br/><br/>Despite the fact that the average citizen was living in constant fear, this was a great era for scientific development. During this time, Johan Labs created several things to aid in whatever war might crop up. They've officially created a super soldier serum (AKA: Shadow energy from the gamecube pokemon games) with the side effect that the user of said serum would become completely insane. This was also the day that Johan Labs created the first living creature from nothing more than some random combination of DNA and some coding for the 'brain'. This project was initially called a failure, as the creature turned out to be harmless, not suitable for war. Johan labs tried to destroy the creature, but, they didn't have the heart. They eventually named the creature Davis, and kept him in the lab as a pet of sorts.<br/><br/>Davis and Kojuro: January 8th, 2991 A.D<br/><br/>Johan Labs, after about a week of keeping Davis around, decided to finally show him off to the public, most of whom responded with ""I've already seen that, before!"" or ""Japan already made that... two days ago!"" Iruka Industries, the other company that made a porygon, eventually sued Johan Labs for everything they had, when the courts ruled in favor of Johan, Iruka Industries went back to Japan, and somehow convinced the general populace, as well as their leaders to go to war using the weapons of mass destruction they had made during the longest cold war. This prompted the United States of America to threaten Japan with those same weapons, eventually leading to...<br/><br/>The Seven Year War: June 7th 2991 A.D - December 31st 2998 A.D<br/><br/>A giant war broke out originally between the United States of America and Japan, however, with the rest of the world ready to go to war, anyways, the countries all just started attacking each other, basically turning the entire world into one war zone. Literally everyone who wasn't in the army was in a bunker, fearing for their life, and fearing that the next sound they hear might be their last. During this time, one kid, named Geoffrey gained the guts to actually build his own army, in some sort of attempt at world peace. His army actually grew to rival the ones that most countries had at the time, and had people from all over the world joining... however, whatever plans he had with that army where snuffed out the moment a nuke crashed through his bunker, and exploded on his army... he was somewhere else at the time, however, and was the first human to mutate into a pokémon once he returned. Geoffrey had become Arceus, with two war generals becoming Palkia and Dialga shortly after. The radiation problem only became worse, and destroyed 97% of the human population, as well as killing almost all of the animals, mutating the survivors. After time and space destabilize, Geoffrey found the source of the problem, and wiped the two general's memories... the two would go on to help him rebuild the world, later.<br/><br/>The Great Reset: January 1st, 0 A.H (after humans)<br/><br/>Also known as 'the day time stood still'. Geoffrey convinced Dialga that he needed time to be stopped, and so it had happened. Geoffrey knew that he had to rebuild, that he and the former generals were the only ones who could do this. Time stood still for what would otherwise have been thousands of years as Geoffrey worked to replace the trillions of animals and billions of humans that died from the war. He worked for thousands of years to bring back some semblance of biodiversity. Plants were eventually remade, however, they started to produce a type of radiation as a part of its new photosynthesis. Only a handful of creatures existed before, and each one was of a different species... it took thousands of years, but when he was finished, there were a minimum of thousands of individuals to a species. This wasn't too much, but it was enough to allow the population to grow over time. During the time stop, Dialga built the Temporal Tower, and Palkia started discovering other universes and other planes of existence, the rifts to which usually ended up linked to some strange object once Palkia was through with them. However, as soon as time restarted, Giratina, a creature from another universe, then threatened to kill all life on the planet. Geoffrey managed to banish the thing to some other realm, using the Void Crystals to ensure that the two universes never come into contact again.<br/><br/>Missingno., the Gears, and the Pearls: May 5th 32 A.H<br/><br/>Only thirty-two years into the new world, and already something horrible was happening. Missingno., a strange creature who was formed from Davis' 'junk code', had finally escaped from the one remaining computer in the last remaining lab. It didn't take it too long to take control of Palkia and then Dialga, making time and space, well, glitchy. Geoffrey saw the problem, and figured that he would need something to counter the two former generals, should such a thing happen again, and, after soundly defeating Missingno., and banishing the thing to its own realm, Geoffrey created the spatial pearls and the time gears, which would stabilize time and space when the two were either dead, or mind-controlled, as well as act as a shield against their strongest attacks, should all of them be brought together. Geoffrey then hid them, just to make sure that the two former generals wouldn't destroy them. Peace had finally returned, though, there were apparently more of that Missingno., each one being a clone of the original, though, thankfully, these Missingno. were benign.<br/><br/>A Future RP: May 15th, 2000 A.H - August 18th, 2000 A.H<br/>???<br/><br/>PMD: EotV: August 14th, 2007 A.H - March 12th, 2008 A.H<br/>Nothing happened yet, current time.</div></div><br/><br/>Cities:<br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Allure Town"" type=""button"">Allure Town [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">This town, located next to Treasure town, and near Birchwood Forest, is a relatively simple town where pokemon of every type stay or pass through on their way to some other place. Only the basic shops can be found here, however, the town's popularity has grown in the past seven years, however.<br/><br/>Arnold's Guild: A fairly basic guild that's similar to Wally's, however, it differs in that the ground level is the lowest level, unlike Wally's. Also unlike Wally's guild, the guildmaster's room is actually on the top floor, with the eyes actually being windows. Arnold and Archie are in charge here, and will accept any kind of pokemon, not exactly being the picky type.<br/><br/>Bob and Ed's Stall: Taking over for the Keckleon monopoly in this town is Bob and Ed the Zweilous. Bob, the right head, sells berries, apples, seeds and other such things, whereas Ed, the left head, sells TMs, orbs, and occasionally HMs. The two heads don't get along very well, and the two actually like the two opposite guilds, meaning that Wally's guildmembers get a discount on whatever Ed sells, and Arnold's guildmembers will get a discount on anything Bob sells... just be careful around the opposite head...<br/><br/>Price List<br/>Common berries: 80 poke (50 if in Arnold's guild)<br/>Common seeds: 40 poke (30 if in Arnold's guild)<br/>Reviver seeds: 800 poke (450 if in Arnold's guild)<br/>Rare berries (Sitrus, gold oran, ect.): 10000 poke (4500 if in Arnold's guild)<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Status Tms and weak attacking Tms: 1000 (450 if in Wally's guild)<br/>Toxic, Substitute, Rest, and most attacking TMs: 2000 (1400 if in Wally's guild)<br/>Giga Impact, Hyper Beam, and other similar TMs: 5000 (3400 if in Wally's guild)<br/>Cut: 1350 (1100 if in Wally's guild)<br/>Fly: 2300 (1700 if in Wally's guild)<br/>Surf: 2300 (1700 if in Wally's guild)<br/>Dive: 2300 (1700 if in Wally's guild)<br/><br/>Candace's Bank: Just a simple bank to store all that extra money you may have. Once stored, the amount you have in the bank will be shown in the section below, however, it's up to you to keep track of the money you have on hand. The place is owned by Candace the chandelure... most potential bank robbers stay away from this place, given that having their soul burned up isn't exactly the most appealing thing in the world to them... that, and she never sleeps. She accepts any transaction from either Treasure town or Allure town, as Treasure Town is mysteriously without a bank, lately.<br/><br/>Current accounts in Candace's Bank<br/>'Yixin' - 400 poké<br/><br/>Lee's Dojo: a small dojo located in Allure town, and across the street from Candace's bank. The place isn't all that much to look at, but apparently connects to several cave systems where budding explorers can test their strength against a number of challenges. The caves are occupied by Lee the hitmonlee's students, who come in many different species and types, and will not simply leave you to possibly die in a cave. Should you be knocked out, they will usually provide you with a reviver seed, and escort you back to the entrance, with none of your items missing. It costs 200 poke to train in a dungeon, and 500 poke for Lee to train one of your moves. Lee can also teach you a move, but that will cost 1000 poke. Lee also knows the secret behind the move Close Combat, which he can teach to some pokemon for 5000 poke.<br/><br/>Carl's Storage: Carl the cofagrigus is in charge of the storage facility in Allure town, and will make sure everything is kept safe inside of his, er, coffin. He claims that the coffin is a portal to another dimension, and everyone just takes his word for it, mainly because nobody wants to find out on their own. It is up to the player to keep track of their items when they are in the bag, however, any items stored here will be displayed in the section below. Carl appears to be very friendly towards Candace, and has even set up his shop right next to her bank.<br/><br/>Items stored<br/>-<br/>-<br/>-<br/>-</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Treasure Town"" type=""button"">Treasure Town [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">This town, located next to Allure town, and near sunswept plains, is the home of Wally's guild, which has, at one point had the famous team pokepals. Business for the guild has been great ever since one of their teams has saved the world, however, that exact team hasn't been seen since the Dialga incident, and some pokemon think that Wally simply made them up just to get some more teams to join his guild.<br/><br/><font color=""#ed1c24"">Guildmaster missing!</font><br/><br/>Keckleon Bros stall: nobody knows the name of these two brothers, as they simply want to be referred to as the keckleon bros. Unfortunately, thanks to Bob and Ed giving discounts to certain guild members, their stall has been losing money for a while, and may actually go out of business... good thing, then, that they often travel into mystery dungeons to sell items to any prospective buyers. The normal-colored keckleon sells berries, apples and seeds similar to Bob, and the purple-colored one sells TMs, HM, and orbs similar to Ed.<br/><br/>Price List<br/>Common berries: 80 poke<br/>Common seeds: 40 poke<br/>Reviver seeds: 800 poke<br/>Rare berries (Sitrus, gold oran, ect.): 10000 poke<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Status Tms and weak attacking Tms: 1000<br/>Toxic, Substitute, Rest, and most attacking TMs: 2000<br/>Giga Impact, Hyper Beam, and other similar TMs: 5000<br/>Cut: 1350<br/>Fly: 2300<br/>Surf: 2300<br/>Dive: 2300<br/><br/>Martin's Dojo: An old dojo whose outside was built to resemble a marowak's skull. The owner, Martin the marowak is actually best friends with Lee, and the two often visit each other's dojos. Martin's dojo is oddly similar to Lee's in that it connects to various caves, where his students can be fought as training for 200 poke. Martin will also offer to train one of your moves for 500 poke per training session... however, unlike Lee, Martin lacks the ability to teach moves to other pokemon. That job is, instead, handled by Edgar the electivire, who has set up shop right next to his dojo.<br/><br/>Edgar's Moves: Edgar the electivire, whose shop is right next to Martin's dojo, can teach a pokemon any move that either, they've forgotten, or should have learned for the price of 1000 poke. He and Martin actually don't like each other very much, however, due to Edgar's skill in teaching other pokemon moves, Martin has let him stay there, pretty much rent-free, just so Martin will still get explorers to visit his dojo over Lee's, on occasion.<br/><br/>Margret's Storage: The ever-known and ever-popular storage place that started it all. Margret the kangaskahn has her storage facility set up near Sharpedo Bluff, which was once apparently used as a hideout for team pokepals... to this day, nobody knows exactly where she stores her goods, however, wherever it is, it's apparently clean enough, as none of the items end up dirty or rotten when they are withdrawn. Certain rocks, set up by Margret, herself, can connect to this, as well as any other storage area through... well... again, nobody's sure how.<br/>Items Stored<br/>-<br/>-<br/>-<br/>-</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Scale City"" type=""button"">Scale City [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Once considered a myth, this city full of dragon-types has been found seven years ago by a traveling Salamence and Milotic. The place itself looks to be somewhat more technologically advanced than the rest of the world, opting to use a sort of strange substance that hardens into stone once poured for their streets, and an even stranger substance to cover their houses. This town lies at the base of Mt. Dragoncoil, and or simply just past Sunswept Plains, and is the home of Denise the dragonite's guild, which may be the only neutral guild in all of this. Due to its location, the temperature is actually quite warm, further supporting its citizens, who usually prefer warmth to cold. Denise's guild is the only one to sport elevators instead of ladders or stairs, and is, thus far, the only guild with the guildmaster's room on the ground floor.<br/><br/>Danny's Item Shop: This almost mall-like shop owned by Danny the dragonair is in direct competition with Bob and Ed's small stall, to the point where Danny has even denied someone service just because they shopped at Bob and Ed's before coming here. Given that Danny is Denise's son, anyone from her guild gets a discount on all of his items. Bob and Ed have started a rumor that Danny finds his items in dungeons... where he can get them for free.<br/><br/>Price List<br/>Common berries: 80 poke (50 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Common seeds: 40 poke (30 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Reviver seeds: 800 poke (450 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Rare berries (Sitrus, gold oran, ect.): 10000 poke (4500 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Goody Bag (three random items): 500 poke (300 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Status Tms and weak attacking Tms: 1000 (450 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Toxic, Substitute, Rest, and most attacking TMs: 2000 (1400 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Giga Impact, Hyper Beam, and other similar TMs: 5000 (3400 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Cut: 1350 (1100 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Fly: 2300 (1700 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Surf: 2300 (1700 if in Denise's guild)<br/>Dive: 2300 (1700 if in Denise's guild)<br/><br/>Gabe's Dojo: A simple dojo owned by Gabe the garchomp. Unlike most dojos, his doesn't have a connection to other dungeons, instead, he will offer to have you fight against ten of his students in a row as training for a mere 100 poke. He may also offer to train your moves for 500 poke, and can teach you a new move for 1000 poke. His dojo has an oddly Japanese feel to it, with the place being made mostly out of wood and reeds, and not made to look like anyone's face. Gabe is also Denise's husband, Danny's father, and Denise's guild assistant. His battle scars don't make him the easiest to look at, but apparently, Denise is blind to them. Gabe also knows the secret behind the move Draco Meteor, which he can teach any dragon type for 5000 poke<br/><br/>Amanda's Threads: A special shop that specializes in clothing-based hold items such as choice equipment, scarves, glasses and goggles, as well as a few other things. Amanda isn't actually very well liked in Scale city, given that she doesn't look much like a dragon. Of course, she doesn't mind, and usually counters that argument with ""Well, I didn't know that 'dragons' apparently included sea horses and dinosaurs, but not birds."" her store is one of the few that doesn't offer any particular discounts to anyone.<br/><br/>Price List<br/>X-ray specs: 2000 poke<br/>Scope Lens: 1500 poke<br/>Wiff Specs: 500 poke<br/>Lock-on specs: 1500 poke<br/>Insomnioscope: 2000 poke<br/>Goggle Specs: 1500 poke<br/>Sunglasses (powers up dark-type moves): 200 poke<br/>Wise Glasses: 300 poke<br/>Choice Specs: 3000 poke<br/>Choice Band: 3000 poke<br/>Choice Scarf: 3000 poke<br/>Lucky Scarf: 1500 poke<br/>Lucky Ribbon: 1500 poke<br/>No-stick Cap: 400 poke<br/>Pecha Scarf: 500 poke<br/>Persim Band: 500 poke<br/>all stat-enhancing scarves: 500 poke<br/>Beauty Scarf: 1300 poke<br/>Misc Scarves: 600 poke<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Resistance-enhancing clothing: 3000 poke<br/>Armored: poison type<br/>Thick/Warm: ice type<br/>Comfy: rock type<br/>Padded: fighting type<br/>Chilly: fire type<br/>Netted / Net: bug type<br/>Posh / Fashionable: fairy type<br/>Bright: dark type<br/>Leafy: grass type<br/>Beach: water type<br/>Stiff: flying type<br/>Dark: psychic type<br/>Wool / Wooly: steel type<br/>Feathered: ground type<br/>Dirty: electric type<br/>Tough: dragon type<br/>Blessed: ghost type<br/>Strange: normal type<br/><br/>Fred's Bank: a tiny bank owned by Fred the flygon, who apparently doesn't store his customers' cash inside his own bank, instead opting to store it all in a secret location in the distant desert where there's always a huge, blinding sandstorm, as well as copious amounts of quicksand pits... to this day, Fred's the only one who has been in that sandstorm and survived... as most rock, steel, and or ground types are too heavy, and will easily sink into the quicksand.<br/>Current accounts in Fred's bank<br/>-<br/><br/>Five-star hotel: a hotel owned by Chad and Terra, the formerly traveling couple who found the city, and have since settled in. Terra might be the only citizen of the city that isn't a dragon type, and gets a lot of criticism for it. Their hotel, however, is huge, comfortable, beautiful... and expensive. They usually exist to offer a temporary home to outsiders who are passing through Scale City, and thankfully offer lower-priced rooms, as well as their usual rooms. The 'normal' room costs about 5000 poke a night, whereas their 'cheapo' room costs about 50 poke a night. The cheapo rooms consist only of a single, worn down bed, however.<br/><br/>More cities may be found as a part of the storyline</div></div><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Rules"" type=""button"">Rules [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">1.

Only one of them (me in this case) had them dying of natural causes.<br/><br/>Oh, you were supposed to remove the timeline.<br/><br/>-<br/><br/>Name: Milloon Hall<br/><br/>Species: Magnemite<br/><br/><i>Gender:</i>None<br/><br/>Appearance: Like a regular Magnemite, only that his pupil is slightly bigger, has three magnets arranged in a tripod like fashion, and has an rotating little radar dish of sorts on the top of his metal body. Seeing as his body was smelted together with scraps of metal, and Milloon wanted a bit of decoration, a radar dish was added. A bit more of a hat if anything. Everything including the dish matches the typical colouring scheme of the Magnemite family.<br/><br/>Level: 10<br/><br/>Moves:<br/>-Tackle<br/>-Supersonic<br/>-Thunder Shock<br/>-Agility<br/><br/><i>Ability:</i>Analytic<br/><br/>Bio: Milloon wasn't really born. He was created by a Porygon named Davis, who had stuck pieces of magnets and scrap metal around to create a friend. He was lonely, no one talking to him for the past 30 years in house he lived in. Sick of the loneliness, he had purchased some bags of human-era metal, and did what he did to create Milloon, Of course, over the months, he was sanded down and refined, eventually given a real metal sphere, because the creator thought of him as ugly and in pain. He was still missing a magnet, however, and was teased at times for the mistake. Davis (being a 'young' Porygon and his best friend) couldn't fix the problem until he found a pair of stray magnets in the bin of the community. It was hard to tease Milloon when he had not just a full set of magnets, but three. Some nasty kids got through that by throwing iron dust at him, although they were quickly dealt with by Davis.<br/><br/>Milloon and Davis had resided in a small village, a secluded community about five minutes from Allure Town, overlooking the place. As in, flying distance. Walking would take about 40 minutes, as the path was uneven and over-stretched, leading to a rather steep hill where the village was located. The community they resided in was nothing special, apart from being populated with plant-based Pokemon. Apart from that, they often hosted an event that involved finding Sitrus berries in a certain patch of Birchwood Forest. Which wasn't easy as only one actually grew in that patch, presented with the danger of going out at night alone. It did prove good fun for the protected children, climbing trees and scouring bushes like forestry inspectors. Even the formerly reserved Milloon was interested, having a try and achieving a three win-streak at one point. This also happened to break Davis' streak of two. The pair had a nice time together, both treated differently by the plant-based community. As in, they were intolerable by the village, causing them to reside in their house for most of the year. Davis never revealed his reasons why he moved, let alone his origins, often making up some reason why he wouldn't move to Allure. He kept murmuring to himself during sleep something about another Porygon freeing him, named 'Milloon,' complaining how long it took awaiting instructions. Of course, the real one just thought that was his fantasy. After all, Davis always wanted a friend, creating him and accomplishing his dreams.<br/><br/>During the three days before he was last sighted, strange things occurred. Davis would often 'freeze,' periods ranging from three seconds to a whole minute. When he unfroze, he would create a series of tiny bells ringing. He'd sometimes pretend he was a robot and greet the nearest Pokemon near him. He'd also vibrate for no apparent reason, to which he was aware of. Milloon felt an anomalous signal being broadcast, collected by the radar dish mounted on his head, seconds before Davis would freeze. Unfortunately, it would be very hard to get past all the static, making out only a name; 'Joh.' Davis disappeared when another signal was broadcast, at least two minutes longer than usual. During that time, Milloon rushed from the nightly Sitrus hunt back to his one-story house, desperate to make sure he was safe. He found no one was around. Milloon was heart-broken, his only friend disappearing without a trace. Rows of scrap metal from the days of Davis attempting to create friends remained dusty, with systems of cobwebs astray around empty books just for furnishing. Nothing was disturbed. No signs of struggle, no forced entry, just nothing. A week of staring at the two towns and forming a time lapse with what he saw, he got sick of no one noticing and decided to leave the place he called home.<br/><br/>Though Milloon would've been determined to find Davis... where would he go? What clues did he have? The plant-based community didn't want to help him, preferring not to involve themselves with mineral Pokemon. Frustrated at the community, he left in bitter emotions for Allure Town. Realising the hostility of the world (he was ambushed seven times on the way to Allure Town, twice by bandits and five by wild Pokemon), he decided starting small would do... although, he knew in the back of his head that he wouldn't have the time to start from a humble beginning. Not when some crazy stuff was going on.<br/><br/>Differences: If he evolves into a Magneton, he doesn't split off into three distinct personalities or something similar. He's still himself, just with another two Magnemite bodies. Having a small radar dish on his head and an extra magnet would probably increase his weight slightly. Because he's a Pokemon that defies gravity, Ground moves can't actually do anything... and that would indicate a break in reality if that were to contact him and others. Being friends with Davis, he was taught how to be 'normal,' speaking properly rather than through magnetism. Along the way, Davis taught him moves such as Agility and the ability Analytic, which resulted from a need for self-defense. After all, the Sitrus berry hunt was at night in Birchwood Forest, and was just ambushed seven times, so..."

<br/><b>Name:</b> Joshua Blitz<br/><b>Species:</b> Skrelp<br/><b>Level:</b> 7<br/><b>Moves: </b><br/>-Tackle<br/>-Smokescreen<br/>-Water Gun<br/>-Confusion<br/><b>Bio: </b>Like most other water types, Josh was raised in the ocean. He lived on a coral reef that was inhabited by hundreds of other Pokemon. Although a metropolis of coral would seem like a good place to live, it wasn’t. There was a food shortage that caused many to live in hunger, including Josh. As one of the lower ranking Pokemon on the reef, he didn’t get to eat much.<br/><br/>He worked on one of the seaweed farms that were scattered around the outer parts of the reef. There was a lot of it growing there, but unfortunately there wasn’t enough to feed everyone on the reef. He teamed up with another Pokemon working on the same farm – a Horsea named Keira. They both tried to steal food from the farms whenever they could. They were careful not to get caught, though. The higher ranking Pokemon would often deal out severe punishments to those that were caught stealing.<br/><br/>The worst of them all was a Clawitzer named Zane. He was easily the most powerful Pokemon on the reef, and he treated everyone around him like trash. Of course, there were some that tried to stand against him. They didn’t stand a chance. He was vile, relentless, and cruel, but he was in charge and there was no way to change that. <br/><br/>Eventually, Josh had enough. He didn’t know where he would go, but anywhere was better than there. Keira begged for him to stay, but his mind was made up. He couldn’t help but feel bad about leaving her, though. He knew he would miss her, but that wasn’t enough to make him come back.<br/><br/>Apparently one missing farmer was enough to anger Zane. Josh was doing rather well until that guy came after him. He barely managed to get away, but he knew Zane would still be looking for him. He had to find a place that was not only willing to accept him, but also keep him safe from Zane.<br/><br/>He found his new home in the most unlikely place – on land. All it took was a rogue wave to sweep him onto the shore and a friendly stranger that happened to pass by. Josh had never seen anyone like him before. He introduced himself as Matt, and when Josh asked him what he was, he claimed to be a Reuniclus.<br/><br/>Josh decided to go with Matt. He was kept in a bucket filled with water until they arrived at Allure Town. This place was amazing. All kinds of Pokemon walked in the streets, most of which Josh had never seen before. There was no way Zane would look for him here. For the past few months, he’s been living in a small pond beside Matt’s house.<br/><b>Appearance: </b>He has a silver ring on his forehead that glows when he uses Psychic-type moves. He’s also much smaller than your average Skrelp.<br/><b>Differences: </b>He is capable of using Confusion, and learns other Psychic-type attacks later on (Psybeam at lv. 18, Extrasensory at lv. 30).<br/>

Of course, Spruce used to go on explorations with Vine, and was around when his team, known as 'Team Wildvines' was formed, and Spruce was, in fact the first member to actually join the team, aside from Vine himself, however... Vine, with his strange moveset and strange type would always say ""I've got this, bro."", leaving Spruce to never fight, and to simply stand there, twiddling his leaf ends until the fight was over. As a result, he never got any experience from fighting with Vine, and eventually, Vine found stronger friends, and friends with better types than Spruce. After that, Vine would always leave Spruce at home, and with his parents always trying to find a way to make money, poor Spruce was always left alone at home, with nobody to talk to but himself. He used to leave on his own outings, but Spruce's parents found out when Spruce came back with scratches, bruises, and cuts all over his body as a result. After that, he was forbidden to leave the house unless VIne, or, really, anyone else was there with him. Spruce was stuck and home and bored until his parents let him stay at Arnold's guild, where, at the very least, there were other pokemon. He got along rather well with the others, save for the fact that he was universally known as 'Vine's little brother' instead of his name, over there.<br/><br/>Then, the day finally came when Vine disappeared. Spruce, taking this opportunity, decided to quit his old team, and form a new one called 'The Odd Ones Out', which stayed true to him being the perpetual loser on his old team, however... nobody else joined. He was now alone on his own team, which wasn't any better than back at home, and worse still is that everyone, in the panic of losing their greatest hero, would always ask if Spruce knew where Vine was. Spruce would always answer the same way ""How should I know? I'm not connected to him by the hip, you know."" Spruce had to exit the guild just to get away from all the noise and all the questions, however, Allure Town wasn't any different. It may have been even worse with some Wildvines team members running around, asking everyone if they know where Vine went... of course, nobody, not even Spruce had any idea... and yes, they asked him daily. In fact, he had to go to town that day, because the guild seemed to have known just how weak Spruce was, and had him deal with non-exploration jobs such as checking the banana stock in the local shop, or asking if the townsfolk would like a new bridge here, or a new building there, or even just asking what everyone thought of the guild in the first place... it was awful for Spruce. Of course, that only lasted for a couple weeks, and then they got a new recruit in the guild, and a bunnelby, no less! Finally, someone ELSE to take those mundane jobs of boringness, and someway for Spruce to finally be able to be out on his own!<br/><br/>And, after the initial excitement of that, as well as loads of pokemon asking where Vine was, the number of which only seemed to grow with time, rather than shrink, as you'd expect it to, Spruce finally made it to the mission boards... though... um... there appeared to be two of them, and worse? He had no idea which job to deal with as his first exploration job. It had to be easy, but he didn't want it to be boring, he's already had enough of boring for one lifetime... but... which one? Spruce ended up pacing between the two boards for an entire day, unable to decide what job to take out of sheer over-excitement and indecisiveness, making that a completely wasted day. That day, Spruce wouldn't even eat the dinner that the guild chef has prepared, lost in thought over which job he should take the next day, and how he should take it... there were a couple of outlaws which seemed to be at about Spruce's level, however, there were also a couple ones which related to Spruce's original hometown, Birchwood Forest. Spruce wanted to get rid of one of the criminals, but he also wanted to visit his old home, again. Sure, it was a mystery dungeon, by now, and he'd probably have to fight whatever family members were left behind when Vine wanted everyone to move out of the place, such as his cousin, Ivy, but it would be very nice to visit the place again... that place always seemed to calm Spruce, even if everything in there was hostile, now.<br/><br/>Appearance: There is nothing notable about Spruce's appearance, yet.<br/>Differences: The only difference, thus far, is that Spruce's appearance will not change through evolution.<br/><br/>Hm... I think that app's acceptable, what do you think, Kabling?"

<br/>Name: Spruce Birch<br/>Species: Snivy<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Level: 7<br/>Moves: <br/>-Tackle<br/>-Leer<br/>-Vine Whip<br/>-<br/><br/>Bio: Spruce has always been 'the little brother', or 'that other snivy' to literally everyone, given that his older brother, Vine, was already a famous explorer. Of course, Spruce used to go on explorations with Vine, and was around when his team, known as 'Team Wildvines' was formed, and Spruce was, in fact the first member to actually join the team, aside from Vine himself, however... Vine, with his strange moveset and strange type would always say ""I've got this, bro."", leaving Spruce to never fight, and to simply stand there, twiddling his leaf ends until the fight was over. As a result, he never got any experience from fighting with Vine, and eventually, Vine found stronger friends, and friends with better types than Spruce. After that, Vine would always leave Spruce at home, and with his parents always trying to find a way to make money, poor Spruce was always left alone at home, with nobody to talk to but himself. He used to leave on his own outings, but Spruce's parents found out when Spruce came back with scratches, bruises, and cuts all over his body as a result. After that, he was forbidden to leave the house unless VIne, or, really, anyone else was there with him. Spruce was stuck and home and bored until his parents let him stay at Arnold's guild, where, at the very least, there were other pokemon. He got along rather well with the others, save for the fact that he was universally known as 'Vine's little brother' instead of his name, over there.<br/><br/>Then, the day finally came when Vine disappeared. Spruce, taking this opportunity, decided to quit his old team, and form a new one called 'The Odd Ones Out', which stayed true to him being the perpetual loser on his old team, however... nobody else joined. He was now alone on his own team, which wasn't any better than back at home, and worse still is that everyone, in the panic of losing their greatest hero, would always ask if Spruce knew where Vine was. Spruce would always answer the same way ""How should I know? I'm not connected to him by the hip, you know."" Spruce had to exit the guild just to get away from all the noise and all the questions, however, Allure Town wasn't any different. It may have been even worse with some Wildvines team members running around, asking everyone if they know where Vine went... of course, nobody, not even Spruce had any idea... and yes, they asked him daily. In fact, he had to go to town that day, because the guild seemed to have known just how weak Spruce was, and had him deal with non-exploration jobs such as checking the banana stock in the local shop, or asking if the townsfolk would like a new bridge here, or a new building there, or even just asking what everyone thought of the guild in the first place... it was awful for Spruce. Of course, that only lasted for a couple weeks, and then they got a new recruit in the guild, and a bunnelby, no less! Finally, someone ELSE to take those mundane jobs of boringness, and someway for Spruce to finally be able to be out on his own!<br/><br/>And, after the initial excitement of that, as well as loads of pokemon asking where Vine was, the number of which only seemed to grow with time, rather than shrink, as you'd expect it to, Spruce finally made it to the mission boards... though... um... there appeared to be two of them, and worse? He had no idea which job to deal with as his first exploration job. It had to be easy, but he didn't want it to be boring, he's already had enough of boring for one lifetime... but... which one? Spruce ended up pacing between the two boards for an entire day, unable to decide what job to take out of sheer over-excitement and indecisiveness, making that a completely wasted day. That day, Spruce wouldn't even eat the dinner that the guild chef has prepared, lost in thought over which job he should take the next day, and how he should take it... there were a couple of outlaws which seemed to be at about Spruce's level, however, there were also a couple ones which related to Spruce's original hometown, Birchwood Forest. Spruce wanted to get rid of one of the criminals, but he also wanted to visit his old home, again. Sure, it was a mystery dungeon, by now, and he'd probably have to fight whatever family members were left behind when Vine wanted everyone to move out of the place, such as his cousin, Ivy, but it would be very nice to visit the place again... that place always seemed to calm Spruce, even if everything in there was hostile, now.<br/><br/>Appearance: There is nothing notable about Spruce's appearance, yet.<br/>Differences: The only difference, thus far, is that Spruce's appearance will not change through evolution.<br/><br/>Hm... I think that app's acceptable, what do you think, Kabling?<br/>

I just wrote down my app.... this is weird a bit but... ya lol.<br/><br/>Name: Celes Silverfall<br/>Species: Eevee<br/>Level: 9<br/>Moves: Tackle, Baby-Doll Eyes, Sand-Attack, Confuse ray<br/>Bio: Now… where to start with this story. Let’s just begin here. Celes started her life in an big house near Sunswept plains, fenced off by rather large gates to protect from wild pokemons. She lived in an family of eevee’s, all of them evolved already. She was the youngest in her family, and this usually leaded her to be teased a lot by her siblings. Her mother was an umbreon and her father an espeon. Both of them usually argued abit and joked around cause of how they should have evolved in the other ones form, but both of them just kept having laughs with this.<br/><br/>Sibling wise, Celes had about 7 sibblings. 1 male flareon that usually kept ‘accidentally’ putting stuff on fire, 2 vaporeons, one female and the other male, that kept watching over the problems that the flareon kept doing, 1male jolteon that would usually alarm people and work with his leafeon sister in the gardens. There is also the glaceon sisters that keep running around towns, travelling and selling things to help out the family.<br/><br/>You see… the family itself made their fortune by selling berries and making mixes with them to heal up injured pokemons all over the land. Every member of the family help out one way or the other, and even if fights brake off sometimes, they usually end up being fixed not too long afterwards.<br/><br/>Now… let’s get back to Celes. Like said before, she was the youngest in her family, but also one of the most strange. Once a while, she should just stare blankly at the walls for short periods of times, as if something was bothering her. What was happening though… was a sixth sense she had. Her mother and father kept telling her that it was nothing, but she still kept doing the same thing. It was just all too weird. Why did she sense these things and the others not. Well… that sense actually helped her once, when a group of ghost type thieves were going to steal away their shipment of berries that they worked very hard for. Celes was able to warn her father and mother about this, and soon enough they found the crocks and chased them away. Her parents never understood why she felt that, but they did not question her. She helped the family out, and that was what was important.<br/><br/>Then days afterwards, her parents brought her 3 stones. A fire stone, a water stone and a thunder stone. They asked her to evolve, because they were worried about what might happen if something else might come. A bigger group of ghost types or something. Even if she was a normal type, she would be in danger by other kinds of moves. Though Celes did not want to evolve, cause she was not sure what to even evolve into. She was not ready yet, and pushed the stones containers away. Her parents asked her to just choose one, that it was for her own good, but she still refused.<br/><br/>So they left her be. Her siblings though, wanted her to evolve also, but each of them tried to make her evolve into what they were. Each of them used their powers, attempting to show off and tell Celes that she should change into what they were, but each time it was same answer. She did not want to choose right now, and she was not ready.<br/>This lasted for weeks. Her parents even wanted her to evolve into their own form, but Celes refused. It was getting too much for her. Day after day she was harassed with this. Then one night, she had enough. She got up, and was about to leave threw the door, only to have her flareon brother block her, asking her where she was going. She answered that she had enough, that she did not want to stay there anymore. Though this displeased her bother.<br/><br/>He then used flamethrower, attempting to get her to back away and stay there, but that was the last straw that she could take. Suddenly she felt a strange energy inside her. She then used it, and saw that she used confuse ray on her bother, who then hit a wall multiple times. Unfortunately that made a lot of noise in the house, and then she heard voices all around. She started to run, and then rushed outside, jumped over the fence and ran away. She had enough of this. If they wanted her to evolve, then she wanted to at least have time and be ready to evolve at least. She continued to run at full speed.<br/><br/>2 days later, she arrived at Allure town. She did not know what else she could do. Left alone, no friends to talk to, and the constant feel of something near in the very back of her head. Probably just her being crazy or something. She shook her head and then entered the town, slowly. Maybe she could find her destiny here…. Maybe she could find what she wants to be deep down. And maybe she could even figure out how she used confuse ray back then…<br/><br/>Appearance: She usually wears a light blue ribbon around her neck, and her fur is slightly paler than normal.<br/>Differences:<br/>Celes, strangely enough, has the ability to use ghost type moves. She does not know why, but she as a kind of sixth sense. Though she is not a ghost type."

For so long, he was forced to serve as the punching bag for others. Being so weak, he also had great difficulty finding food for himself. Normally, this would be enough to break anyone. Shatter their fragile mind and sense of self worth. Sending them into a spiral of depression strong enough to break even the most battle harden warriors and turn them into mere shadows of their former selves!.........Kamina however, was far from normal<br/><br/>When Kamina took a good long look back on his life, remembering all the torment, all the pain, those many days he went hungry, those times he almost died. He took it differently then most would. He took it as a <b>challenge</b>. That lit a fire in him. From that day on, Kamina spent every second he could training. Although, due to his only move being completely useless, he didn't make much progress. However that failed to discourage him, if anything it drove him further. He worked himself to the bone day in and day out...and didn't have anything to show for it.<br/><br/>One day, after he had worked his body too much to work with his insane training, a group of nasty Pokemon found him. They beat him severally, laughing as they did. But Kamina didn't scream, he didn't even cry. he was too tired to do either. As he fell into unconsciousness, he felt his body drifting away on the currents of the sea...<br/><br/>When he woke up, he was on a strange beach he had never seen before. He could also make out a faint rainbowish glow off in the distance above the sea. As his mind caught up to his body, he noticed that in his sleep, his body had been fully revitalized. Excited and ready to resume his training, he accidentally shot pellets of fire out of his mouth. Instead of questioning how he managed to learn a move that his kind shouldn't be capable of preforming, he immediately attributed it to his 'burning spirit' as a result of his 'passionate hard work.' He decided right then and there to continue his training on land to become the most badass Magikarp ever...<br/><br/>...before moving on to becoming the greatest Gyarados that ever lived<br/><br/>Appearance: Is a much deeper shade of red then the rest of his kind, with the crown on his head a deep blue color<br/><br/>Differences: Is part Fire type<br/>

<br/>That was a kick in the balls, because almost everyone I've met has been harsh to me. Usually because they listen to just one person and assumes 'this guy's causin' trouble, and he got no facts to back himself up!' This went on for some time, and by the time I thought the painful cycle would be over, the ban occurred.<br/><br/>Your decision was <span class=""bb-strike"">very</span> inappropriate in a situation where I was already contemplating suicide for the... I lost count ages ago. During that time, I was emotionally unstable, throwing words around because of my depression. If I recall from that day, I can only remember one person helping me through my depression. Otherwise, I was left to be. Heck, when I asked for help to be suspended for about 3 days from the RP to calm myself, you ended up extending that to permanent because I was causing trouble again. Yet, for some reason nobody understood the term 'depression' back then, thinking it was just limited to being sad rather than having mood swings. Before then, I got banned permanently because nobody told me the morals of reporting someone. <br/><br/>This kinda shows what I had to deal with for a while. It's not I get an apology from my life for anything these days though, so I have to suck it up.<br/><br/>Point: If anything, your short-term solution has led to even more problems. Now, I can barely trust you, let alone approve you for moderation. Because, if the same situation pops up then we know what your actions are gonna be. Giving a depressed person an ultimatum just pushes them over the edge, and thankfully I was strong enough to hold onto it.<br/><br/>I may change my opinion on you depending on certain circumstances (definitely over time with lack of incidents), but for now it stands. I'm sorry, but I just can't help to feel you may deal with rule-breakers harshly. You've probably changed, but I need proof of that to be convinced. I'm possibly being overly critical based on personal opinions, but being kicked out with little to no emotional support justifies this. I've been treated unfairly, and frankly all this has left a sour taste in my mouth.<br/><br/>In case you're wondering, I'm depressed again. The blues usually go away about several weeks or so.<br/>
</div>
</div><br/><br/>Yes, everyone has a rant once in a while. Some bottle it up for longer, however, so expect those types to be more emotional and self-fulfilling. Whilst at the same time unintentionally alienating others, so try not to mind that.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">

I don't know why I thought I was accepted..<br/><br/>Let me rectify this. Noob mistake by a noobish.. noob.<br/><br/>Edit: Okay let's try to do this right before I make myself more of a fool.<br/><br/>Name: Stella<br/><br/>Species: Krabby<br/><br/>Gender: Female<br/><br/>Level: 6<br/><br/>Moves: Vice Grip, Iron Defense, Mud Sport, Bubble<br/><br/>Bio: Stella for most of her life has lived at the bottom of the ocean among other water pokemon. Day after day she went through a similar routine. One day she might scuttle over to the reef to get a snack. Other days she'd scuttle over to the sand bar to lie out in the sun. Overall her life was rather boring. Stella wanted to leave and find some more fullfilling to do, but as far as she was concerned there was no other place to be.<br/><br/>One day however, what looked like an especially large pokemon (which Stella would later learn is the rare Lapras) swam gracefully over the waves. Stella decided to follow the pokemon along as her curiousity got the best of her. She scuttled for what felt like miles of open ocean with no end in sight. Gradually she noticed that the surface of the water was lowering and lowering. Then, before she could even process what happened, she was standing on a beach, with sun in her eyes and trees off in the distance. The Lapras and it's strange looking passengers looked down on the Krabby with interest.<br/><br/>Stella had finally found land. There was many things to see here; sights and smells, people to meet and neat things to see. There were also many things that looked fun to pinch, but she surpressed the urge to pinch other pokemon as best she could. Stella decided that she didn't want to live in the ocean anymore. The surface world was so much more fun! The young Krabby had a lot of adjusting to do if she wants to fit in among surface pokemon, however.<br/><br/>Appearance: Stella's shell had a silver gleam that many Krabby lack. Stella's Claws also have jagged edges, giving the illusion that they have teeth of their own. While these are menacing in appearance, they serve no other purpose then to boost Stella's ego.<br/><br/>Differences: Stella's hard shell has a pleaseant silvery gleam. While her shell was developing Stella had a diet that was rather high in mineral content, and it shows. This gives Stella a natural affinity using steel type moves that others of her kind simply do not.<br/>(I'm debating whether I should change her type to include steel or just make it so that she learns the occasional steel move from level up, but it's up to the GM whether the second option would be okay. Perhaps she wouldn't gain the steel type until she evolves into a Kingler?)"

Not sure if I want him to come off as legitimately evil or a comedic attempt at being evil. *shrugs*<br/><br/>Name: Grim Darkwood<br/>Species: Ralts<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Level: 6<br/>Moves:<br/>- Growl<br/>- Scary Face<br/>- Confusion<br/>- Trick-or-Treat<br/><br/>Bio: Grim's mother, Luce Morningstar, is an explorer of considerable talent. She's traveled the world, going to places no one else has gone yet and leaving tokens for the next group of adventurers to find. While exploring inside an ancient ruin, a mansion apparently, she met Jekyll Darkwood, a Gourgeist who had made the structure his home. The upstart ghost had recruited all of the other ghosts of the mansion to be his staff, and Luce was in awe at the opulence he had managed to create inside that ruined home.<br/><br/>Luce stayed there for a whole year, the longest she'd ever stayed in one place in her entire life, and during that time, Grim was born. Luce left soon after, her wanderlust getting the better of her once again. It wasn't that she wasn't happy, she did, but she wasn't one to settle down. So she left to go explore new undiscovered realms, and Jekyll and the other ghosts raised the young Ralts. It was years before Grim understood that he was different from the other pokemon of the mansion. He wasn't a ghost. That wasn't nearly enough to stop the great Grim Darkwood though. Grim mimicked his father over and over, learning the one move that could make him like the others. And eventually his hard work paid off; Grim turned himself into a ghost.<br/><br/>Naturally, the other ghosts were thrilled to be able to include Grim in all of their ghostly activities. The time after he learned Trick-or-Treat were some of Grim's happiest days. But his ambitions were larger than one isolated mansion hidden deep in the woods. Grim set out into the world with two goals: to find his mother and to conquer the world, not necessarily in that order. But the world beyond those ancient walls was strange and unnatural to him. It was too bright, too clean, filled with so much change that Grim had never seen in the company of the undying ghost. Only partially due to growing up surrounded by ghosts and spirits, Grim is an exceptionally odd individual. He is nothing like the normal, timid, quiet, scared little Ralts that most think of. Grim is, in one word, evil. He's a psychotic sociopath who speaks his mind and has some serious violent tendencies. Trying to kill the ghosts that make everything a game and count mischief as an art form is a lot different from trying to kill some random pokemon he's just met. Grim has just now entered Treasure Town, and he isn't out to make friends.<br/><br/>Appearance: The green parts of his body are black. Has a long black ribbon tied in an X across his chest, and the two long tails trail behind him as he moves.<br/>Differences: Learns moves from his fathers line alongside his own."

Even though he was one of the only Shinx in that area, he wasn't teased about it, and had a very smooth life. Having it easy isn't always good, though. Gavin was sheltered from virtually all the world's problems, from knowing about the anger between the guilds, to something as small as a berry shortage. Needless to say it shocked him when something bad happened in his seemingly perfect world.<br/><br/>Nobody knows exactly how it started, but a rumor has been going around that a group of Bunnelby were attacking a Chimchar that wandered into their territory. The Chimchar fought back with a flamethrower, which completely missed the Bunnelby, and instead hit a tree. Using a fire attack in a dense forest probably wasn't a good idea. Within minutes, almost a quarter of Birchwood Forest had caught fire - the part of the forest that Gavin lived in.<br/><br/>The entire place was in chaos. Pokemon were running from the flames as trees were burning and toppling to the ground. Gavin was in shock as his entire world crumbled, and he was separated from his parents amid the panic and confusion.<br/><br/>Eventually the flames subsided, leaving the once beautiful forest in ruins. Pokemon began to come back to see what was left of their homes, including Gavin, who found nothing left of his former home or his family. After hours of sadness and disbelief, Gavin finally realized the reality of his situation.<br/><br/>Ten years have passed since that event, and in those ten years, Gavin found Scale City, got a job there, and became a guild member. When joining a guild made up of all Dragon type Pokemon, he expected the guild master to be opposed to an electric type joining. However to Gavin's surprise, Denise actually seemed happy about it.<br/><br/>The last thing that Gavin seems to remember is getting attacked by a Geodude while on a mission...<br/>Appearance: Gavin looks like a normal Shinx, except he wears a blue scarf that he got in Scale City.<br/>Differences: No differences, except that he knows ice fang. (Egg move.)"

Even though he was one of the only Shinx in that area, he wasn't teased about it, and had a very smooth life. Having it easy isn't always good, though. Gavin was sheltered from virtually all the world's problems, from knowing about the anger between the guilds, to something as small as a berry shortage. Needless to say it shocked him when something bad happened in his seemingly perfect world.<br/><br/>Nobody knows exactly how it started, but a rumor has been going around that a group of Bunnelby were attacking a Chimchar that wandered into their territory. The Chimchar fought back with a flamethrower, which completely missed the Bunnelby, and instead hit a tree. Using a fire attack in a dense forest probably wasn't a good idea. Within minutes, almost a quarter of Birchwood Forest had caught fire - the part of the forest that Gavin lived in. It quickly became big enough to see even from Treasure Town, which is exactly what happened. Residents of Treasure Town noticed what was happening in Birchwood Forest and word quickly spread of their emergency. Soon there were groups of water Pokemon making their way over there to help extinguish the flames.<br/><br/>Back in the center of the blaze, the entire place was in chaos. Pokemon were running from the fire as trees were burning and toppling to the ground. Gavin was unsure of what to do, because as far as he knew, nothing remotely like this had ever happened. His house was too far away, so the possibility of him hiding in it wasn't an option. Although his house is made of wood, so it wouldn't have been a good idea anyway. Much to Gavin's relief, he spotted his parents running over to him. They all met up and tried to find an exit to the forest that didn't require walking through the flames. There only seemed to be one way out of this area, so they made the decision that would change Gavin's life forever, they followed the path. Not long after, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from behind them. A large herd of Skidoo had been faced with the same problem, and were currently barreling down the path at unstoppable speeds. Gavin barely managed to avoid them, however his parents weren't as lucky. The only thing that the Skidoo seemed to be thinking about was escaping the fire. Gavin's parents were caught in the stampede and carried off, which would be rather comical if not for the situation.<br/><br/>By the time the water Pokemon extinguished the flames, most of that area of the forest had already burned to the ground. Gavin, having no where else to go, returned to his home to see what was left of it. Like him, many other Pokemon were slowly returning as well only to find that the forest was inhospitable and almost beyond repair. There was nothing left of Gavin's house except a pile of ashes and a blue scarf that had somehow avoided the flames. That item was the only thing left of Gavin's life in Birchwood Forest.<br/><br/>Ten years have passed since the fire. Gavin had left Birchwood Forest in hopes of finding a new place to call home, and his efforts were rewarded with the discovery of Scale City. Using the small amount of money that he had found in dungeons, Gavin bought a house in the city. Even though he got a job and had enough money, his life quickly began to feel empty, so Gavin decided to join the guild. To his surprise, literally every single Pokemon in the Scale City guild was Dragon type.

Every day, Hex has to go through the same routine. From sunrise to sunset. It first begins in the morning, deep in Birchwood Forest, when she's swarmed by countless males offering her fresh berries and honey in the hive. It's simple just to gust them away, but the ""oh-so-mighty"" queen doesn't like her drones being swept far away into the forest, so she just has to push through and deny any attempts to swoon her. After finally making it past the drones, she checks on the defenders of the hive outside, the Beedrill, who are even worse then the drones. Constantly complaining about the conditions, buzzing, swinging around their stingers, when they don't even belong with them. Hex knows her mother just keeps them around for the purpose of protection. And then she has to talk to the captain of them, about reports, recent attacks, work conditions. The captain' snot too bad, but yells at everyone but her. After that dilemma, it's usually about lunch time.<br/><br/>Hex travels inside the hive, where all the defenders and drones of the hive are mulling about, munching on berry jam. Hex has to flutter by the queen when eating to signify she's royalty. Which is a total pain, considering her mother is always surrounded by her adoring subjects, and she has to listen to every single compliment they have to throw at her. After that lunch ordeal, the young Combee has to follow her mother<i>all</i>the way through Birchwood Forest, to have a meeting with some allies about property and defense and attacks. Hex is forced to sit through it all. Being a ""princess,"" she doesn't have a say in anything. When it finally ends, she has to travel back to the hive, which is all the way on the other end of the forest. Then she finally gets her one moment of peace throughout the entire day. Without it, she'd probably go insane. Hex sits alone in her room, the royal quarters. Her dinner's delivered to her, and she can eat peaceful, and think.<br/><br/>Hex can think about freedom. About how she wants to escape from the same painful route every day. About how boring and uninteresting it is to go throughout her entire day. Even now, thinking about it to herself, she just wants to snore. Hex craved a different life. She didn't want to evolve to be the boring queen, who sat on her throne each day, getting fatter and fatter and passing dumb laws. She wanted action! Adventure! And the rangers, oh, the rangers. They occasionally passed through the forest, and she'd always look at them as they went along their way to fight evil and save the day. While Hex wasn't strong, she knew that one day she could fight alongside them. Join a team, get a badge, and fly free in the skies. To be one of them. But she didn't want that life of adventure soon. She wanted it<i>now.</i>Hex began to formulate a plan to escape the prison of the hive. How to escape the eternal torment of her every day. And the Combee princess knew just how to do it.<br/><br/>It started early in the morning. Much earlier. None of the drones were awake, but some defenders were still buzzing about. A small shaft of early morning light drifted in through a small chip in the wall. Her first taste of freedom. And so, Hex put her plan into action.<br/><br/>""Help! Please!"" Hex yelled, her voice echoing down the halls. The Beedrill would be soon rushing in to save her, like the white knights they were. ""Someone!""<br/><br/>The young Combee lowered herself into a small bowl of honey from dinner last night. She slathered herself in the junk. She usually saw the drones covered in honey after making it, so hopefully they wouldn't be paying enough attention to see through the honey and at the red mark. The princess slowly drifted into the hall and down the twisting tunnels of the hive. On her way, multiple defenders rushed past her, down to her room, paying her no mind. She had a limited amount of time until they realized the princess had left, so-<br/><br/>""THE PRINCESS!"" A voice buzzed down from the hallway. ""SHE'S GONE!"" Okay, maybe less time. She stopped slowly drifting down the hall and furiously fluttered down it, using all the ability in her delicate wings. She could hear the Beedrill buzzing from down the hall, flying hurriedly through each room, looking for her. There, the entrance! She saw it! She just.. She just..<br/><br/>Hex flew through the exit of the hive. It was attached to a huge tree in Birchwood Forest, under a thick canopy of leaves. And so she flew. She flew, far away. To Allure Town, to become a ranger, and to evolve and grow stronger than the queen. She was becoming quickly exhausted due to the little power in her wings, but she forged ahead. And off to Allure Town she went.<br/><br/>Appearance:<div class=""hider-panel"">

It doesn't make sense for absolutely no attacks from anyone else to land on him, especially if they're not swarmed by the amount of Pokemon yet.<br/><br/>No one is a background character.

</div>
<div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none;"">
        Name: Carrol Shannon. Although he doesn't dislike the name or its descendant Carl, he instead takes pride in his tribe's name, Shannon.<br/><br/>Species: Amaura.<br/><br/>Gender: Male.<br/><br/>Level: 8.<br/><br/>Moves: -Powder Snow<br/>-Thunder Wave<br/>-Growl<br/>Shannon's voice, as is typical for his species, can be very forceful when need be, so even in his young age he can sound an intimidating cry. His icy power is not well-developed yet, but Shannon can breath a stinging gust of frost to defend himself. An early trick his species learns is to manipulate the charged particles powering his crest, releasing an electrical pulse to stun an opponent.<br/><br/>Bio: The Aurorus tribe from which Carrol came was made up of the Shannon family, and lead by elder Alaois Shannon. The Shannons occupied a wide range of tundra and taiga at the base of a series of near-Polar mountains, and their power serves as an indirect safeguard against other encroaching species. While Aurorus are not Pokemon inclined to combat, Alaois's Snow Warning amplifies the climate that keeps the territory exclusive, and gives strength to the other Ice-types, the task maintained by Abomasnow within the range itself. Carrol hatched into this peaceful environment, and from birth he looked up (in every sense of the word) to the towering figure of Alaois, even more so than he did his own parents. Carrol proved to have no lack of ability himself, although not a Snow bringer. Carrol could manipulate ice and aurora with subtlety and travel with endurance and patience. Crowning his talents, however, was his voice, singing clear and cheerfully along with his elders and peers among the Shannon. <br/><br/>Ceaseless efforts to impress Alaois and learn from him did not go unnoticed. The elder was aging, and Carrol seemed the perfect candidate for the next leader once he matured. Although talk was light and patient, it wasn't hard to predict what would have occurred: Alaois would pass on and his Snow Warning daughter Etna would lead until Carrol wooed her and took the Shannon into his care. The inevitable, unspeakable catastrophe took form in the eruption of a million-year dormant but monstrous volcano on the range above the tundra. Forests burned, glaciers melted, and the plains were covered in ash. Etna died by chance, crushed by a stone hurled by the explosion. Alaois never recovered from the loss.<br/><br/>Following the grief-driven death of Alaois, the Shannon left the plain for parts of their range that had fared better. The ecosystem, however, had been dealt a mortal blow. With no artificial cold on the plains and the permafrost irrevocably destroyed, the border of the Polar realm was pushed back, and tundra became fertile, if wintry, grassland. While other species eventually adapted to the warmer climate and more aggressive newcomers, the Aurorus had held the over-specialized niche of providing snow to a now-dead biome, and were not built for the rocky environment of the mountains. The Shannon, though leaderless, made the decision to abandon their home and their natural life rather than stand their ground and dwindle with the years. Carrol and his family migrated to seek a town where Pokemon of any type could shelter. The journey was not as long as they had expected, but the town they found presented a crisis: It was too small to support the entire tribe without crushing the native population under the burden. Two Aurorus stayed, but the remainder moved on. That was how the Shannon tribe died. No town could support them all, and they no longer fit into any natural habitat. At each settlement some departed. <br/><br/>Kiera and her son Carrol were strong and patient, though Carrol had been struck terribly by the death of Aloais. By the time the Shannon reached Allure town, they were all that was left, and they had traveled the furthest. Kiera supported herself in Allure with her strength and size, carrying smaller Pokemon when the need arose, knowing that despite their love her son would find another parental figure, as he had done before with Alaois. Carrol, indeed pining for a new hero to look up to, disillusioned by the death and separation he had seen, latched onto the most powerful figure in town, Arnold the Guildmaster.<br/><br/><i>Tap tap tap. A patient wait in the early morning chill, then a wooden latch opened. The stationed 'mon recognised neither the figure, nor the fuchsia glow in the darkness. Whoever had knocked had drawn back again. ""Step into the firelight,"" the query came, perhaps with a little too much suspicion. Whoever it was didn't seem urgent for help. Then why this bothersome time of morning? ""Why're you here? Who's knocking?"" The figure approached calmly, and the lights revealed themselves to be crests above a pair of serene eyes. ""My name is Carrol, for myself,"" the Amaura complied, in a melodic voice that promised peace, if not friendship. ""But know me as Shannon, for those who are gone. I wish to join your guild.""</i><br/><br/>Appearance: Shannon has a long, sweeping tail, at least in comparison to other Amaura, which helps him keep his lofty head balanced. Like others of his species, Shannon's crests change colour with mood, but they usually tend towards a purple-ish pink.<br/><br/>Differences: Shannon's level-up movepool will include more sound and song moves than usual. Moves learned will be Sing, Relic Song (although it has no extra effect for him other than being boosted by Refrigerate), and Perish Song.

        Eh... I'm finding a problem with the app. I don't really think there's a gate at Arnold's guild. You know, I expected normal, wide wooden doors with plain walls and floors. Plus, I think only Arnold and Archie can accept members (as in, there seems to be something off about their tone of speech in your character's biography).<br/><br/>Recap:
    </blockquote><br/><br/>I honestly didn't read through the IC to look for that kind of detail, so sure, I'll catch that (it comes to roughly the same thing, anyway- 'Let me in pls, I want join'). The 'watchman' unnamed was just meant to be someone at the door/gate/pentagram hellportal to prevent intruders and/or answer help requests, because that makes sense. The italicized section is drama for drama's sake, because it doesn't contribute to Shannon's actual history (cliche as that is) I don't mind fixing it up.<br/><br/>Anyway, thanks, recap is handy. I'll be able to post tonight, although I think I might have shot myself in the foot a bit with join time, because I'll be gone again over Friday and Saturday.<br/><br/>E: Alright, I rewrote the italicized part of the application. Hopefully it's not worse now.<br/><br/>I'm not sure which guild/town to join, since I presume both have about equal players involved, so I'll just stick with the arbitrary choice I made to go with Arnold's. Anyway, it looks like it's still morning, so a post now would probably move a bit like this: Italicized-application-drama happened, Shannon was turned away with instructions to come back after sunrise, roleplay him arriving, then being taken to do newbie stuff (cult initiation) with Arnold for the next two/three RL days while I'm gone, then next post being sent to catch up with what the rest of Arnold's group is doing. This good?<br/><br/>E: Considering the time gap, I don't think it's worth starting then leaving again for the weekend immediately. See you all on Sunday."

Its time for me to sleep. Oh and btw:<br/><br/>Name: Ven<br/>Species: Eevee<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Level: 8<br/>Moves:<br/>- Shadow Ball<br/>- Sand-attack<br/>- Calm Mind<br/>- Void Claw ( 65 Power, 100 Accuracy, Type: Void/Physical )<br/><br/>Bio:<br/>Ven was born into a family of great power in the area of the world where he lived. They were not of nobility but they controlled and protected a void crystal. Each child that is born is forced into protecting the crystal with no choice for themselves. Ven's parents protected the crystal and his father's father protected the crystal and the same with his father.<br/><br/>When Ven was very young he always wished to explore the world and he would make up stories in his head and would act them out. One day he asked his parents if he could go to the nearby town and fetch some supplies for him and his parents. His father immediately declined his request greatly upsetting Ven. Ven rushed to his room and buried himself in his bed laying there until his parents had gone asleep. When he was sure that they were resting he snuck away from the temple where he lived and headed to the town.<br/><br/>Ven arrived at the town and was amazed at what lay before him. As he sat in awe of the town he began to hear yelling coming from the direction of the temple and hurried home. Worried that his parents had awoken and found him missing, he ran into the temple to discover his mother and father laying on the ground with large gashes on their skins. Ven began to become very freighted and ran to his mothers side. His mother looked at him and whispered the word ""run."" Ven refused to leave them. Ven then raised his head in attempted to find who had done this to his parents.<br/><br/>That is when he saw it. A great shadow coming from the room where the void crystal once stood. It crept along the ground at a quickening pace. Ven frozen in fear, did not know what to do and that is when he heard his father yell ""Run you fool!"" Ven began to turn around and run. The shadows were at his heels. He ran as fast as he could but he was not fast enough. The shadows engulfed him and all he could see were hands reaching out of the shadows and attempting to pull him in his vision went blank and he fell unconscious.<br/><br/>When Ven awoke he was in an open field with a pond close by. He forced himself over to it to take a drink and noticed something that terrified him. His fur had become a dark grey with his scruff and the tip of his tail taking a lighter shade of grey. He looked up to see if his parents or the temple were close by. It was nothing but a open field and a small path. He followed the path to find where it would take him. His journey had begun.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/><br/>Ven looks like a normal Eevee for the most part. His fur is a dark grey while the tip of his tail and his scruff are a lighter shade of grey. He has light blue eyes that glow red when attacking. His fur is also slightly more unravelled compared to that of a normal Eevee.<br/><br/>Differences:<br/>Ven was infected by the void granting him two types and void. The types include Normal/Ghost (void). His appearance also does not change when evolving."

His parents did everything they could to make his short time in this world as comfortable as possible. Then one day his health took a turn for the worse. His parents stayed with him on his deathbed, doing everything they could to ease their little boy's pain. They pleaded and begged for someone to come and spare his life...and then someone came to answer those prayers; none other then Xerneas. Using his great power, he healed young Tini's fragile body, however because of how damaged it was from illness, his powers ended up leaving a lasting mark on the you Dragon, making him part Fairy as well as changing his color<br/><br/>Xerneas then said to him ""grow up big and strong little one, and one day you will be able to save someone the same way I saved you"" and with that, he vanished as quickly as he arrived. Xerneas words left a lasting impression on the young Tini, so he worked hard to become as strong as he could. He now had two things he never had before; a future and a dream, to spend his life rescuing others. He was reborn as Tini; defender of love, justices, truth, hope, peace, and delicious cookies. During one such training exercise, his Fairy type was discovered when a wayward Dragon Rush hit him and failed to cause any damage<br/><br/>One day, an Aromatisse were passing by when he saw the young Tini training. Deciding to have a little fun, she showed off some of her moves to young Tini, however one in particular caught his eye; Aromatic Mist. The idea of a move that could bolster the resistance to ranged attacks for an entire team, of a move that could lessen damage instead of causing harm, appealed to him greatly. Determined to learn such a move, Tini began to beg the Aromatisse to teach it to him. Although she was sure he wouldn't be able to learn it, she was unable to say no to his cute little face, and so she began to instruct him. To her immense surprise, young Tini actually showed progress with the move. Now knowing that for some reason this young Dragon could indeed learn this move, she decided to stick around to make sure he got it. Tini was a diligent student, putting his all into learning this move, and after a few weeks, he had it mastered<br/><br/>After he felt that he had sufficient training, he made his way to the nearest town with his parents blessing, in order to join a guild. He was about to take the first step towards his dream<br/>Appearance: The blue part of his body is violet instead. He also seems to...sparkle<br/>Differences: Is part Fairy and his ability is Marvel Scale. Also, since learning Aromatic Mist, he always smells minty fresh, this doesn't really help in a fight, but it's worth noting<br/><br/><center><i>For hearts long lost and full of fright <br/>Those who caused the blackest night <br/>Listen to me or meet your maker <br/>I'll befriend them all<br/><br/>MOONLIGHT BREAKER!</i></center>"

It all started out when he was a kid; a young boy who was fascinated with what was happening all the time. He wanted to know what it was like to be a newsman. It wasn't his first job, though. His first job was at Candace's Bank, where he helped store money. He felt alright with this job, but felt he wasn't exactly destined to be a teller in a bank. He quit and was a traveling comedian, although his only 'travels' have been in Allure and Treasure town, since he's afraid he will get criticized in Scale Town. He told the best jokes he could think of, and got minimum wage for it, and he loved making people laugh. After a big mess-up with a joke, that got him shunned as a comedian, he quit and became an investigative reporter. It was his favorite job.

William was asked to do this case, and he was afraid, since if he found the murderer at his last clue, he would most certainly die. The person was a Scrafty that was 3' 11'' and weighed 105 pounds. That part of the investigation was easy. He had a pen and paper to write down stuff for the news, and he needed to see what was going on with the blood. They noticed that some of the blood was not Scrafty blood, and that there were small pieces of a purple skin in the Scrafty's hands, either revealing that the murderer was the scrafty at first, but then the other person fought back, or the other way around. William collected the blood, skin, and other samples, and the whole body itself. After identifying what species the possible murderer was, and what type of blood they had, they concluded that the murderer was most likely an Aerodactyl, and had AB+ type blood. When they used this information, they had about 6 suspects, and none of them pleaded guilty. The news station still does not know who the murderer was.<br/><br/>When he came back to real life, he felt shocked and depressed that the possible murderer could still be out there. He hated his failure in finding the murderer, and he felt like quitting his job. He fell into a depression for 3 months, and stopped doing things he normally enjoyed. He eventually stopped moping over an old case, and he went on another case. He only knew that the case had something to do with the Foggy Plains, and that something VERY important was stolen.

In the early years of Donnie's life it was peace and fun both parents spoiled him since he was the only child. They lived in the best hotel in Scale City since his parents are friends with the owners Chad and Terra for free. He was the happiest kid when he was young. Whatever he wanted he got; he had a lot of cousins so he wasn't always alone on his on. Even though he was a spoiled child he didn't act like he was better then anyone. He shared his things with the poor kids in scale city and loved to travel and get into different things. One time when him and some of his friends snuck out of Scale City and went to Sunswept Plains they were attacked by some rabid pidgeyes. Donnie and two of his friends got away but one was killed by the pidgeyes. From that day on Donnie swore not to leave Scale City until he was prepared to fight and not make the same mistake again. After that day that friend's family move away to another city because they couldn't stand seeing there son friends run or slither or fly home to their parents and not seeing there son come back to them. After that tragedy it seemed like Donnie's life wasn't all glitter and gold he finally came to reality and saw what the world really was and he started to grow up.<br/><br/><b>Preteen Years</b>Donnie parents started to stress never seeing each other like they use to see each other. His mother Lucy was always on the road touring and making appearances with her saw called manager DJ Luxury(Serperior) and his father was too busy to even notice he was losing her. He was doing movies and TV shows all the time while Donnie's mother was having an affair with her manager. One day Donnie's father came home from shooting a pilot early and caught Donnie's mother in bed with DJ he was so mad that he started to attack DJ and his mother. He ended up killing DJ and sending Donnie's mother in the hospital. Donnie Sr. went to jail and is in jail till this very day. Donnie had to take care of his mother until she got healthy enough to take care of him. He lives with his mother in a 6 Bedroom house in Scale City. It's not the same without his father around. He goes to see his father often in jail when he gets out of school. He blames DJ and all Serperiors smug attitudes and hates anything that reminds him of a Serperior. If it wasn't for them his father and mother would have still been in love (So he believes they would have been in love. He doesn't know that his father had an affair with his co-star in his Block Buster hit movie ""A Pokémon To Remember"" Madame LuTresse Buten(Gardevoir)). He resents his mother for not being there for him and he barely sees her she pays the bills, leaves him 500 poke everyday in the morning and leaves; and he doesn't see her until she comes back after being out all night and getting drunk and locked out because she lost her key again. He just wants to evolve and become stronger and leave and hopefully find a way to get his father out of jail even if he has to break him out.<br/><br/><b>Now</b>Donnie Jr. is now training and learning new dragon skills and controlling his telekinetic powers he got after the mutations occurred. His mother died a few years back and after 26 years Donnie Sr. was release from jail; he was very old and sick. Donnie Jr. got to spend those last months with his dad who told him everything about his affair and how he always loved his mother but they just didn't have that spark they had when they first met. All Donnie Sr. wanted his son to do was to forgive his mother and him for everything mistake they ever did. ""Donnie little Don. Please forgive us for everything we did; me and your mother even DJ and Tressy. If you say in anger you will just turned into a better old fool like your pops."" He started to laugh and choke. ""I know daddy I for...give everything I know it was hard having careers, family, and everything else."" Donnie started to cry; he stayed with his dad that rest of the day and watch his dad pass on. Donnie now lives in that 6 bedroom house having lavish parties and going into the same field his father was in. He's in a new movie called ""21 Scissor Street"". He's becoming a big hit in Scale city he's still training and one day he will be a beautiful and magnificent Dragonite and be the biggest actor since his father.<br/><br/><b>Appearance:</b><br/>Thanks to the mutations Donnie is a sea green color not an ocean blue like his ancestors, his fins on his head are orange like embers and his eyes are rose pink color.<br/><b>Differences:</b><br/>Donnie's white sphere on his head grants him the power to levitate and use telekinesis to move things.

<br/>GUNS.GUNS MUST APPEAR SOONER OR LATER.Speaking of guns, how relaxed are gun laws when it comes to Colorado?<br/>
</blockquote><br/>I don't think it'd be a good idea for guns to be in this. The idea is that most human tech is gone or lost, and I'd think that would include guns, especially since it's pretty much a 1-hit kill unless whoever is being shot at has the max amount of speed. Even then, it'd be hard to dodge. I hope you have the wrong RP. It's kinda saying you want someone in the rp dead, and also asking for a trip to the jailhouse if you do get a gun and shoot someone with it."

But one day, their leader became corrupted with power. He turned the village into a prison, and Tyrone hated it. Their leader was named Buz, and he was a power-hungry Hypno. The power of leading the entire village overtook him, and he became corrupted. He started hitting everybody and starving them, while he sat in his hut, eating away at piles of dreams. Some people tried to rebel against Buz, but he would quickly hypnotize them. During hunts, Tyrone was sometimes able to keep some dreams for himself, so that he wouldn't starve to death. He was careful, though. If Buz caught him, he would probably be killed. One night, Tyrone was up late thinking. He thought to himself, and in the morning he decided he was going to run away to a city and join a guild. He told his parents and they were upset, but they knew that he should do it while he still could. So, while Buz was off in a hunt, he hid and stayed home, and he left the village forever.

Over the next few weeks of it's life, the Ditto decided to stay and raise Blobby, at least until he could make it on his own. A few days into life, Blobby was taking a walk through the forst, getting to know the place, when he came upon a Beedrill. It was out and about, but seemed angry. Mad at something. He wiggled over to the Beedrill. ""Hello! You seem upset."" he said to it. The Beedrill thought Blobby was a threat, so it turned around and started stabbing him. ""Ok, then. I see you are too upset to talk, right now. Byebye."" So Blobby started jiggling away, with beedrill stabbing at him. The Ditto that was raising him found him being stabbed by the Beedrill, so the Ditto Transformed into the Beedrill and scared it off. The stabs hurt, but Blobby was content. One day, while sitting and staring at the sun, a Caterpie had come up to him and told him that in the city, they had things called 'guilds' and once the Caterpee told Blobby what guilds were, Blobby started thinking. This thinking made him decided that he wanted to go to a city and join a guild. So, he told the Ditto, and they said their goodbyes.

That, and, what's up with the random Ghastly that somehow knows that Tyrone would lose, and somehow cares enough to show him to some town?

Kekune forged to sword to sell, but then a spirit came an decided to inhabit the sword, turning it into a Honedge. kekune didn't want to sell a living Pokemon, so he decided to ask the new Honedge if he would like to be Kokono's friend. The Honedge thought for a bit, and decided that when Kokono's birthday showed up, he'd let Kekune present him as a friend.<br/><br/>The family was able to to buy all these things with the money Kekune made by selling the armor and weapons he forged. The son would usually help out in the forgery by handing the metals and tools to Kekune when he asked for them. They had good business, and the shop made a good income<br/><br/>Days passed, and it was Kokono's birthday. Kekune presented the sword, and Kokono loved it. He picked it up and thanked Kekune, and named it Ratnika. Then he took it outside, and began swinging it around and chopping at grass. He wasn't able to swing it very good, though, as it was a bit too heavy. Kokono began practicing, until he was able to swing the sword freely and smoothly. He was even able to defeat wild pokemon in battle, after awhile. After many days of training, Ratnika was fighting a wild Pokemon, when he suddenly countered the opponent's attack and defeated it. The Spirit that lived inside the sword and made it a Honedge had pulled out the warrior inside of him, and made it so that the sword was now able to use fighting-type moves.<br/><br/>Months passed. The forgery had to close up, because recently, their business was falling very, very quickly, and they couldn't afford to keep it open. So they packed their bags and moved, but Ratnika decided to stay in the city, and so he said his goodbyes to Kekune Kokuno, and they left. After they left, he walked into the city. In the city, he saw notice boards, with advertisements for 'Guilds'. He decided to try and find and join one, as he enjoyed the experience of having a friend.<br/><br/>Appearance: The blue tapestry on the end of the hilt is yellow, instead of blue.<br/><br/>Differences: Ratnika can learn Fighting-type moves.<br/><br/>Notes: When I was writing the Bio, my brain blanked out a few times, please point out what I did wrong, when you read this<br/>Edits: 3"

Breen Torrents. He prefers milk shaken, not stirred.<br/>Species: Mudkip<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Level: 10<br/>Moves: -Water Gun -Mud Slap -Tackle -Swagger<br/>Bio: Now this is the story all about how Breen's life got flipped turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how Breen Torrents became a janitor at a guild in a town called Allure. In the West of Treasure Town, born and raised, actually, wait no, more like Allure Town, yeah, that's where he praise! Chillin' out, maxin' relaxin' all cool, and listenin' to his dad preach about evolution right after school, when the quest for adventure sparked in his mind, he said: ""I'm gonna join that big guild and kick some baddie behind!""<br/><br/>And well, he sorta stuck to that motivation, regardless of the outcome. By the book, Breen is a registered Guild Member, with his best friend Torchlite. He's been working there for a good amount of time actually! Lookit that team name - Scooterz! Works real well and all considering his goofy nature and whatnot. Living under the strict rules of his overly religious father, Booker, he sorta let loose with his adventurous and creative side - living out the dreams he's always wanted to when he was confined to staying inside of his room reading comic books with his best friend. And hey, now he's making progress! He's now confined to cleaning the guild in-between large expeditions and reading comic books on break...with a little bit of arguing with Archie here, a little bit of rule-breaking and wandering around over there - all around, he's living his dream!<br/><br/>Of course, he's dedicated to his own little antics around the town, weather it be some sort of job for kind 'ol Mr. McGuillicuddy down the street or working for some gang he's never heard of. Yeah. Nice. And on top of that, his sarcasm and wit will always, can always, and once again I repeat: WILL get him into trouble. In his spare time that doesn't involve work or fun or reading comics or playing the harmonica (he's a professional, trust me.), he's a real kind guy! Always wanting to make friends and such despite his development in the excellent skill of lying and fibbing constantly due to his obsession with comics. But I'm sure that won't play any part later on in this roleplay...<br/><br/>...right?<br/><br/>Appearance: Your average Mudkip, albeit skinnier, due to his constant hyperactivity. He’s got an orange dot on each of his paws - a Torrents family trait, and he wears a pair of novelty 3-D glasses, which he uses to better his eyesight due to his eyes being red and blue (see my profile picture for how it should look at least). He wears his standard rescue team bandanna in the style of a tie - usually a bow-tie. He also carries a small satchel which looks a lot smaller than it is on the inside...they're always like that. He also wears a red baseball cap with a lightning symbol on it, backwards. It's the style nowadays.<br/><br/>Differences: Small immunity towards electric-type moves, happens randomly, but usually results in him getting shocked. Terrified of heights and ghosts! And a slight slight fear of dragons....yeah, they're fuckin' terrifying.<br/><br/>Surprise! Let's keep things as they usually go and make me edit my app 5 times before actually starting, shall we?"

She actually did sort of know her old parents, but they didn't have enough money to care for her after about 5 years, having to take her to the Adoption Center. Some people thought she was deformed, but most thought she was just different. Why? Because her stomach and tail were oddly colored. Her stomach was kind of like a shiny's, but it didn't sparkle or glimmer in the light, and her tail was also a beige. She was eventually adopted to said Ludicolo and Mawile, and at about 7 years of age, she got into drawing and art.<br/><br/>She had many family portraits, close-ups of Ludicolos, and Mawiles, but the things that her parents thought was odd was that she had many photos of what looked like a female Grovyle and a male Sceptile. They didn't know these two pokemon, and they have questioned her many times, but she hardly spoke to them about the matter. She had eventually gave up drawing. She was interested in sports, and constantly went to Lee's Dojo, to train and get stronger. To help her get stronger, she competed in racing events, like swimming and running. She always strives to be number one, no matter what, and it was seriously beneficial to her health. Because of this intense training for many years, she slowly became a fighting type, quick to act and hardened for battle.<br/><br/>After the Guild was built, she started noticing more and more pokemon that looked different. She was interested in what was going on in this strange place, so she asked more and more people about it. and found out about the best team at that time, the Wildvines. She was most interested in the smallest one, the snivy, since they were both grass types, and both weren't evolved yet, and they both had odd colorings, etc. etc. Soon she became his biggest fan, which was strange since he didn't seem like the one to have a fan at all. When this 'little brother' moved to make his own team, she aspired to be part of it, and still does, to this day. In fact, I think she may be heading over to that very same guild right about now...<br/>Appearance: Beige-orange tail, and a sand-colored stomach.<br/>Differences: Faster than most Treeckos, and also is a Fighting Type. Can learn sketch at level 21, has Karate Chop as a starting move. Added moves (fighting type bonus):<br/>- Level 12 - Low Kick<br/>- Level 15 - Force Palm<br/>- Level 21 - Jump Kick<br/>- Level 24 - High Jump Kick<br/>- Level 28 - Detect<br/>- Level 30 - Counter"

</blockquote><br/><br/>I guess you're right about that, but it helps explain most of the differences. Without it, it would make no sense and I probably couldn't come up with a better explanation for the fighting type. Without the fighting type, they wouldn't be that strong, thus I'd need a lot of help and bugging everyone else to 'save mee, saaave meeee' which is a worse cliche applied to me than 'Train to become #1'.

This isn't a new character, this is for the same character slot, I guess, so just forget about that last app or any accepting of it, I just redid almost everything on it.<br/><br/>Name: Samuel Grayson<br/>Species: Treecko<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Level: 10<br/>Moves: -Pound<br/>-Leer<br/>-Absorb<br/>-Thunder Shock<br/><br/>Bio: Born and raised in Treasure Town, he was accustomed to the strange layout of it. He lived not too far away from the Kecleon Shop, since that was his favorite place to get what he needed. He got his money from doing simple chores for other townspeople, and the occasional Mystery Dungeon exploring. He always had concerns and questions about the things, like how did all these berries get here, or what happened to the people that left their poke behind on accident. What if it wasn't on accident? What if they died and their money was left there?<br/><br/>Then, suddenly... BOOM! The sound of thunder was deafening, the skin-tearing pain was unbearable, and then... silence.<i>Was this what death felt like? Maybe this is what death was. Pain, then nothingness. Just darkness.</i>He could feel something pick him up, something warm. He could hear something, but to him it was just nonsense. Complete, total nonsense. He started to dream, dream of impossible things like flying, or having the most powerful move. Meanwhile, outside of Samuel's head, he was teleported back to a guild, taken outside, and to the nearest healer or doctor. There seemed to be no hope for the victim of this accident, but he still occasionally showed signs of being alive, like a twitch and occasional groans. Two whole months passed, of forced-feeding of Oran Berries and herbs, and other berries. At about 3 in the afternoon on the 6th day of the 2nd month he was out, he opened his eyes. At first, he couldn't walk that well, and he had to continue resting. He was most likely going to survive.<br/><br/>About a year after that incident, he could start to walk again, with some slight troubles, and he was told he was a survivor of a strong lightning strike. He felt as if he was stronger, and also felt like he wanted to be whoever rescued him. Someone who could save lives, someone who knew how to get people to safety. Someone that could help people, and make sure they were okay. He started hearing talk about a place that did that, and the people who worked there got paid for it, as well. This concept sounded outstanding to him, and he had plans to go join this place soon.<br/><br/>After the recovery, he was changed from a loudmouth to someone that you would think was shy. He still spoke when he felt like he needed to, though, but he still freaks people out with two of the three remaining side-effects from the attack, the lightning tree scar on his back, and this other odd part from the attack. His tears weren't normal tears. They were made almost exclusively of blood. He had what his healer called Blood of the Eyes, but everyone else just called them blood tears instead, since that's what they were. He was polite, sort of. He had a short temper, and occasionally blew up for no reason.<br/><br/>Appearance: Has Haemolacria. Haemolacria is blood tears, from a slight tint to the tears looking completely made of blood. His whole back has a lightning scar on it.<br/>Differences: A little slower than the average Treecko, and also is an Electric Type, and has Thunder Shock as a starting move. Added moves (electric type bonus):<br/>- Level 12 - Thunder Wave<br/>- Level 15 - Spark<br/>- Level 21 - Thunderbolt<br/>- Level 24 - Zap Cannon<br/>- Level 28 - Counter<br/>- Level 30 - Thunder<br/>- Level 75 - Bolt Strike"

<br/>Name: Bonnie Gold<br/>Species: Buneary<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Level: 10<br/>Moves:<br/>- Pound<br/>- Bite<br/>- Switcheroo<br/>- Attract (tm)<br/>Bio: Bonnie was apparently lucky... at least, that's what she was told by everyone. She was born into the rich and famous 'Gold' family, which has, up until her, only consisted of meowth and persian. As such, they made their fortune by using the move pay-day at every possible opportunity. She wouldn't have considered herself lucky, however. Every day, and every night, her father, a persian by the name of Artemis, would try to attack her, aiming to either knock her out or kill her. Which one was uncertain, as he'd always have those crazy, evil eyes just before attacking. Had her mother, a lopunny named Mirabelle, not gotten in the way. It was a wonder that she never broke up with him, and that they stayed together... but it may have been due to the fact that she always bought his excuse, such as 'I've had too much fermented oran juice,' or 'I didn't get enough sleep today,' heck, she even bought 'It was a stressful day at work,' despite the fact that he hasn't worked a day in his life. He told everyone that he was working, however, Bonnie figured out that wasn't true at the age of about six, when she followed him out of the house once. He didn't go to any of the guilds, and none of the shops... he just stood there, waiting for someone. If only she had known. If only Bonnie could have stayed there a little longer... then she would have been able to warn her mother. Bonnie didn't stay there long enough to witness anything horrible that he would have done had she stayed... she was hungry, and dinner was just about ready back at her house. Bonnie didn't stay silent during dinner, however, as she told her mother that Artemis wasn't working, that he didn't have a job... and that prompted the event that would mentally scar young Bonnie for life.<br/><br/>About a week after Bonnie's little reveal, things went south between Mirabelle and Artemis, who were constantly yelling at one another over every tiny little thing. This lasted for about a year, and was all because Bonnie saw her dad 'working late'. It was at about this time that Artemis' little excuses for constantly trying to abuse his child weren't working, and Mirabelle would now attack back, or, rarely, use attract, a move she had taught Bonnie when she was very young, to stop Artemis before he even tries. Normally, this would be the worst part of someone's life, that is, until the two parents split up and leave the child with one or the other, with neither one of them being good choices, however... this, sadly, wasn't the case with Bonnie. It all happened several years ago, she was seven at the time, and her parents were yelling as per usual, however, after a scream from her mother, it just stopped. Bonnie, confused, ran into the room where they were yelling, only to see a sight far too gruesome for someone as young as her. Her mother was slashed to pieces, and worse? Her father was actually eating her. His fangs and claws were bright red from the blood, and he had a piece of her arm sticking out of his bloody mouth. Artemis, apparently noticing his daughter, then snarled at her, and told her in an oddly calm, yet still intimidating voice ""If you say a word about this... you're next,"" he was captured by some rescue team after that, and hauled off to jail, and eventually court. Bonnie was called as a witness, however, she couldn't speak. Whenever she tried to remember that horrible incident, that vile sight, she'd always end up crying without saying a word... as such, she was considered an unreliable witness, and her father was found innocent... the worst part came when he was given custody of her.<br/><br/>It's a wonder that she's still even alive to this day, as she had to sneak food to prevent starvation, and survive a constant onslaught of attacks being thrown at her. Artemis' favorite attack was slash, and he loved to use Bonnie to practice that move. She wouldn't be able to catch a wink of sleep out of fear if it weren't for the attacks knocking her out every single day. She doesn't remember much of those years, however, she does remember one phrase that has kept her quiet for this long... 'If you say a word about this... you're next,' which means that she couldn't do anything about it. She was too weak to fight back, attract doesn't work on him anymore, and whenever she stayed conscious through one attack, he'd launch another at lightning speeds, guaranteeing that Bonnie goes through the day knocked out. Occasionally, he'd use pay-day on her in some sort of attempt to get even more money, though, he'd constantly be disappointed at how few coins were created when he'd attack her with that move... every time he'd use it, he'd wait until Bonnie woke up to shout at her to pick up the coins... and then give them to him. After a while of this, Artemis said something about how he can't stand to look at her anymore and how Bonnie looked like her slut of a mother, so he threw her in the basement, as if to take away the one good thing she may have had in this life... a decent house. This was the final straw for Bonnie, and, over the course of a few months, she finally dug her way out of the basement, and ran away. She ran until she couldn't see her father's house, somewhere called 'Sunswept Plains', where she met a mareep and a litleo who were Bonnie's first friends. The litleo was simply called Leo, and the mareep was called Mike. Soon enough, the trio encountered what they thought was a wild snivy. Bonnie was actually somewhat attracted to the snivy, despite his grey coloration, and told Mike of her plan. Mike agreed to the plan and walked over there on his own... it wasn't long before Mike whistled, and Bonnie tried to use attract on the snivy, who was not only oblivious to her, but also apparently already had a girlfriend, one who knocked out Bonnie as soon as she finished using attract. She awoke to see her friends knocked out as well, and they simply told her to head over to Treasure Town, that there might be better friends there... they said that she should go alone, but, that they'll remember her... and this was her next goal. Her final goal? Revenge.<br/>Appearance: Nothing's different about her appearance, save for a few scars on her arms, and one on her chest. There are also a few bruises, specifically around the eyes that just won't go away.<br/>Differences: Due to her abuse as a child, she is now a pure dark-type, her frustration move (once she learns it) is also a dark-type move, and will grow in power regardless of how much she likes the leader of her team. She can also learn some dark-type moves through leveling up, and is afraid of all cat-based pokemon. Once she reaches level 50, her stats will increase as if she evolved again, though, that won't be the case.<br/>

While all the other absol were busy frolicking, she was sitting outside staring at the sky. Whenever she<i>did</i>try to join in the fun, the other kits would keep away from her. When she confronted them about it, all they said was because ""She was different"". Glass left them alone after that, returning to here days and nights outside the cave watching the sky. When the opportunity arose for the young kits to leave, Glass was already on her way, taking a small bag of supplies with her as she left, not even saying goodbye. After all, they never care for her much, why should she give care back?<br/><br/>Glass wandered for a few days along the mountainsides, before getting word of a towns that had guilds and lots of other Pokemon that joined to become adventurers and rescue teams. After asking around, Glass finally got directions to the closest town - Allure Town. She restocked her berries and set off, coming across a travelling Umbreon that went around teaching other Pokemon special moves with strange disks. After bribing the umbreon with berries and items, the dark type finally agreed to teach Glass a move so long as he had the disk. When she asked about fire, his eyes glowed blue and three red tinted disks flew out of the bag he was carrying. He pointed to each one and told her the moves they held, Flamethrower, Will-O-Wisp and Incinerate.<br/><br/>Glass chose Flamethrower and putting away the other two disks, the umbreon pressed the red disk on her forehead, and in an instant the disk glowed, before the red faded out of it and the disk cracked. Throwing away the cracked disk, the umbreon thanked her for the berries and moved on, leaving Glass to continue on her own journey to Allure town, now with a new move in tow.<br/><br/>As she traveled she came across a small group of Pokemon that called themselves a rescue team, and when she asked for directions to Allure Town, they instead gave her directions to another town called Treasure Town. Politely thanking them, Glass moved on, ignoring their directions and continuing on to Allure Town after she refilled her berries yet again. She met up with a few more rescue teams after that, who all shared food and gave her directions to Allure Town, and now sure of where she was going, Glass set off for Allure Town, hoping to join the guild.<br/>Appearance: Aside from the Amulet Coin necklace and white forehead orb, Glass looks almost like a normal Absol, just with darker red eyes. She has a sling bag that sits just above her elbow, holding a few berries, hold items and a shard of a dread plate that she found in the cave.<br/>Differences: Will learn a few advanced dark type moves as she levels, and will also get a few psychic moves<br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

Cain was a soldier during the Seven Year war, and he died on the battlefield while wearing a Noh mask. That's about it for how he died, all he remembers is that it was part of a bet with his brothers in arms. Now he's permanently stuck with this ugly Noh mask to cart around. Now, for what seems like an eternity he's been wandering the world as a lost spirit, until he found out about the different sort of Guilds around the world.<br/><br/>Hearing about the guilds of the world, he took to a bit of time to train. In the mountains where he stumbled upon a small group of fighting types, the sort of fighting types that help train other pokemon. At first, they believed they could do nothing for him. As he's a ghost type, most ghost types can't actually learn very many if any fighting style moves. With a bit of convincing and persistence, he took it upon himself to watch them fight. To observe how they do some of these moves that they do. With his freakishly long arms he discovered that he too could mimic their fighting. After what seemed like weeks of training his hand suddenly burst into flame as he threw a punch, this was the emergence of his ability to use fighting and punching styled moves.<br/><br/>Once he found out about the various guilds he felt a little bit of comfort, knowing that there's people out there who are spending their precious time to help others. It reminds him of his slowly fading past life. To take part in this charitable activity he decided to seek out one of the more reputable guilds, the one stationed in Allure town. When he made it there he quickly realized. The world is in a worse state than he had come to believe, and now he fully intends to do whatever it takes to stop it.<br/><br/>Appearance: There's only three differences between Ennio and any other Yamask. The first difference is his mask. For some reason he died with a Noh mask on, nobody knows why this is the mask that replaced his own face, not even him at this point. Anyway,<a href=""https://nohmask21.com/daikijin/daikijin2-h1.jpg"">this is his mask.</a>Second, his arms are abnormally long for a Yamask. At least twice the length of your average Yamask's arms. And, he doesn't have those little teardrops under his eyes, he's not sad about his death, in fact he's quite angry about it. When he evolves into a Cofagrigus his mask will move up to where the normal mask is on the sarcophagus.<br/><br/>Differences: Is quite capable of learning punch based moves, such as fire punch. Doesn't quite understand why other Yamask do not use their hands. Will gradually learn a balance of punching moves and basic moves as he levels up."

<br/>After a while of being able to do nothing, I smell something amazing, something spicy, and something I'd love to have. It turned out to be some sort of soup, or something, and I woke up from my fainting just to have some, only to feel energized, afterwards. I then jump up from my laying down position and manage to pull off a back-flip before hitting the ground ""Woo! Thanks, whoever you are!"" I shout to the mystery pokemon that gave me the soup, afterwards. The pokemon looked a little strange, as if he wasn't as he appeared, but I didn't have time for that, right now, I had to make this second chance at this fight count. With energy still coursing through my body, I void whip 'boss' twice before he could react with an acid attack... which still hurt, however, I managed to not react too much to it.<br/>

Here goes nothing.. for the 5th time *sigh* -Btw this is XxBladeTheWolfxX from the Minecraft Forums-))<br/><br/>Name: Skylar<br/>Species: Vulpix<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Level: 9<br/>Moves: Ember, Fire Spin, Hex, Feint Attack<br/>Bio: Skylar was born in a small area in the woods away from Allure Town. Her dad had always wanted a boy, and what did he get? Skylar. Her sisters teased her with boyish names that Skylar hated. She ignored them most of the time, but when she couldn't, her mother comforted her. To her disliking, her sisters would also often spread hoaxes about Skylar. Skylar hated this of all things.<br/><br/>As years went by, Skylar grew more and more invulnerable to the teases and hoaxes. Soon, she was capable of shutting those things out altogether. Her siblings tried their best to tease her, to see if she would crack, but to no avail. The thing that Skylar wanted most now, was adventure and mystery. Everyday, she'd borrow a book from her mom that had an adventure or mystery genre, and would read all day.<br/><br/>Finally, after reaching the end of all the books, Skylar decided she wanted to go to Allure Town. Her mother said she would miss her, but would always be in her heart. Skylar's father said nothing. So Skylar packed all her prized possessions and necessities, and started off on her way. Her last thoughts before she embarked were; 'I can't wait to get there'.<br/><br/><br/>Appearance: Pretty much just a normal Vulpix, but with a sky blue scarf on her neck and a scar over her left eye.<br/>Differences: None, really. :P"

Also, for some odd reason, you have your character's siblings doing absolutely nothing more than teasing your character. Yeah, sure, I know siblings do that sometimes, but it's not all that they do... I should know, I have to deal with a sibling, myself. That, and you never mention names... it'd be nice if you could at least name your character's siblings, as right now they just seem like some sort of replacement for a generic schoolyard bully rather than actual characters.<br/><br/>This app has been denied.

Unfortunately, his tendency to challenge others that he perceived as powerful caused him to constantly fight many of the other members of this colony. This was not very wise for a creature of Lamar's size. One day, he challenged one of the alphas, a massive Tyranitar named Rex, one that he had fought multiple times. In the past Rex had taken it easy on Lamar, one could say that Rex had treated Lamar like he would treat his own brother. Lamar resented this treatment, but still challenged Rex constantly.<br/><br/>Rex seemed strangely different this time around, he along with a few others had been acting in an almost feral nature recently. Some of the others in the clan suspected it was a result of some suspicious cloaked pokemon that had visited weeks ago. The strange pokemon had spoken in riddles and offered power to some of the larger Tyranitar. Many of them took it without hesitation, while others had it forced upon them by some of those that had already received the cloaked pokemon's ""blessing"" When the pokemon left, several of the alphas left with him, while others began to act agitated and violent.<br/><br/>When the fight began, it became clear that Rex did not plan to show any mercy. Lamar did manage to scratch Rex, but nothing significant enough to say he put up a fight. Between being blasted, thrown and stomped, it was a miracle that he could still move. As he clung to consciousness he looked at his opponent for any sign of recognition but received only a scoff as Rex led the clan from the cavern. Between the feelings of betrayal and the pain, Lamar laid still in the center of the cavern. Seeing Lamar laying motionless on the floor,the others simply left him in the cavern for dead. Luckily, a rescue team found his unconscious form and brought him to the surface for medical treatment.<br/><br/>After regaining consciousness, Lamar attempted to re-enter the cave that he was raised in only to be denied by the very rescue team that had saved him. Lamar felt that this was a challenge to what little dignity he had left and attempted to fight his former saviors only to be defeated and taken back to Allure town where he came to the conclusion that he couldn't return unprepared. He decided to train himself and one day return to his home to reclaim his pride. His patience had not truly changed from when he was younger and after every day he trained he challenged many of the more powerful residents to test the effectiveness of his training only to be defeated over and over...until one day he realized that the majority of the pokemon that he had been facing were part of the very guild that the rescue team that had saved and defeated him were affiliated with. Thinking that he was competent enough, he decided to join that rescue team in order to gain access to the cave.<br/><br/>He was quickly denied as the team claimed that his reason for joining was idiotic. He had simply told them that he would one day try to go back to the caves in order to track down the Tyranitar that he had once respected. They of course made an attempt to convince him that revenge wasn't the answer and that he would be blindly repeating the actions that had cost him the left half of his tail. His response was to bite the Team leader's arm as he attempted to direct Lamar back into town. The rest of the team quickly subdued him out and brought him back forcibly. After being brought back to town it was made clear that he needed a change in direction.<br/><br/>After reflecting on the past day's events, Lamar decided that he would still join a rescue team. While he still wanted to learn what was wrong with Rex, and of course beat him to a pulp, he knew that attempting that now would be unwise. He thought that maybe there was more out there for him. He would try to prove that he was above petty revenge by helping others...or at least that was what he told the guildmaster when he asked to join."

</blockquote><br/><br/>Hm... it's longer, but it still is the same in some aspects, mainly the first two paragraphs. It seems too cliche, and the third and fourth paragraphs don't do much to support the story, and in fact make it harder for him to even get his own team if he bit a guildmaster's arm (even though it would barely do any damage) because both guilds would see him as possibly dangerous to his team or to members of the guild."

</blockquote><br/><br/>I really have no say in this, but I sort of can predict whether or not something would get accepted. The biggest problem is this paragraph. I know it's hard to avoid the 'i must train' cliche, but instead, make him think he's strong enough just to go to the guild and then maybe in an IC post he can find out he needs to train. Just find out some way to edit that paragraph. If you do that, you'll probably get accepted."

Lugia also doesn't like ponies or horses. Animation doesn't effect quality of an avatar if it's too much animation or too subtle animation. If it's somewhere around the middle of those two, it might improve the quality."

Species: Sableye

Gender: Male

Level: 8

Moves: -Nightshade -Leer -Scratch -Zen Headbutt 

Bio: Xeno was never good socially, something evident to his brethren upon hatching deep within the Crystal Chasm. Unlike the other sableye that would seek to go live independent lives, Xeno was constantly bothering someone with his constant chatter which caused great annoyance for the other members of his species. Sableye are solitary pokemon and don't generally live near one another if they can avoid it, so eventually a few had had enough of Xeno and began more 'insistently' getting him to leave them alone. 

Given the cold shoulder by anyone he'd known Xeno was forced deeper and deeper into the dark fissure he occupied, eventually forced to make his home far off from anyone. There weren't many crystals this far, the raw gems an essential part of a sableye's diet, and when he began to run low instinct told him to dig for more food. Every day Xeno's tunnels grew deeper, ores of various kinds being unearthed each day and eventually Xeno came across something he liked; coal. The gritty, black rocks were unique and Xeno found he quite liked the taste, digging for more as they began to make up more of his diet. Still a growing pokemon his development was altered, his skin becoming darker and the gems on his body became dark and cloudy. He was a picture of impurity, and further shunned by his species which only lead to greater seclusion within his tunnels. 

Then one day, the earth couldn't take his digging anymore and the network he'd called a home collapsed. Barely escaping being crushed Xeno fled his home and left behind all he knew, his emergence not being taken lightly by the other sableye nearby. Claws covered in coal dust Xeno dashed away from those who had tried to bury him, leaving the Crystal Chasm and for the first time in his life walking out into the light of day. His eyes tinted black the light didn't hurt him as much as it should have, and unsure where to go followed the strange pathway that lead away from the cave. 

Appearance: Xeno is several shades darker than most sableye, allowing him better camouflage in the dark especially with his duller eyes. The gemstones on his body also appear cloudier and darker, as opposed to being shiny due to his altered diet.

Differences: Xeno has the bonus innate ability 'tinted lense', allowing 'not very effective' attacks to deal twice the damage they would normally do. This is in addition to the standard 'keen eye' and 'prankster' abilities.

He was a picture of impurity, and further shunned by his species which only lead to greater seclusion within his tunnels. 
> 
> Then one day, the earth couldn't take his digging anymore and the network he'd called a home collapsed. Barely escaping being crushed Xeno fled his home and left behind all he knew, his emergence not being taken lightly by the other sableye nearby. Claws covered in coal dust Xeno dashed away from those who had tried to bury him, leaving the Crystal Chasm and for the first time in his life walking out into the light of day. His eyes tinted black the light didn't hurt him as much as it should have, and unsure where to go followed the strange pathway that lead away from the cave. 
> 
> Appearance: Xeno is several shades darker than most sableye, allowing him better camouflage in the dark especially with his duller eyes. The gemstones on his body also appear cloudier and darker, as opposed to being shiny due to his altered diet.
> 
> Differences: Xeno has the bonus innate ability 'tinted lense', allowing 'not very effective' attacks to deal twice the damage they would normally do. This is in addition to the standard 'keen eye' and 'prankster' abilities.

Her mother was Saniri, a Chandeleur, and her father was Sirus, a Drifblim, the latter which was a renowned explorer. She also had an older brother, Cobust, which was at first a Litwick at youth, then a Lampent when he was older. Sirus simply claimed that her brother's evolutionary line had a faster pace...though Levita saw that as only a lie to make her feel confident about herself, and she continuously envied her older brother throughout her youth, who seemed to always be one step ahead of her. Once he evolved, the Drifloon sword that she was going to work as hard as she can to surpass her brother, no matter the cost. <br/><br/>But other than her rivalry of her elder sibling, Levita loved the fame that went along with her father. Whenever Sirus had the time, Levita would always persuade her father to do a Shadow Ball, a Stockpile and Spit Up, and occasionally his special Thunderbolt move. Every time, she would be astonished by her father's flashy moves, and often try to copy it herself with failure. At night, Saniri would tell her wonderful stories from wandering evil Pokemon having their life force sucked out of them, or of spiritual possessions and Yamask's secrets. To Levita, little went wrong with her life, and she couldn't be happier.<br/><br/>Until she realized the harsh reality of life. Levita finally realized how intolerant and cynical Pokemon could be; there was always news of some bandit capturing this, someone stealing that. Tragedy had struck the family as well, as Levita's father Sirus, who she always idolized, had suddenly disappeared on one of his journeys, which sent Levita, Cobust, and their remaining mother into a depression; from depression came determination, however. Both Levita and Cobust had decided to continue on their father's legacy of explorers — Levita was convinced that her father was dead and wanted to gain the fame her father had wanted, while Cobust wanted to investigate on their father's disappearance by joining into a powerful guild — Levita did not know which guild it was, but it was certain they were going to be traveling down different paths. With what she could carry with her light weight, Levita went off to be an independent explorer, who generally took up jobs any time, anywhere, while remaining unaffiliated with any guild. <br/><br/>And even after this period of time, Levita still had a long way to build up the fame her father had...but she was going to achieve that goal no matter what. With her cheery attitude and her street-smarts, Levita was going to rise.<br/><br/>Appearance: Levite does not appear very different from other Drifloons; the only few visual differences are the ends of her strands, which appear like rounded triangles instead of hearts, and the cloud fluff on her head, which is light grey instead of white. <br/><br/>Differences: Drifloon has inherited one of her several family's moves, Tailwind, which increases the user's speed, from some unknown line. She will evolve into a Drifblim, though it may be later than usual. <br/><br/>(Trivia:<br/>— Levita often daydreams and sketches with her tiny notebook in her belt-satchel.<br/>— Levita can navigate in a directional fashion using her Tailwind and Gust.<br/>— Levita likes scaring other explorers on the road, which often brings her trouble.)</div>"

Good to go?<footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/feisty-pants"">@Feisty-Pants</a></footer></blockquote><br/><br/>I'm not a GM or app checker, but I want to put my two cents; while it's technically possible for a Level 1 Eevee to learn Shadow Ball through TM, Shadow Ball is a relatively overpowered move when all of us are likely around early Level 20s judging from move learnsets. No Ghost-type learns Shadow Ball naturally until at least Level 30, and most learn it around late 30s and 40s. It's really powerful even without the STAB bonus and super-effective toward Ghost and Psychic. <br/><br/>I can overlook Swift, since that's a standard Eevee move after Level 10...and since Celes learned it, it shouldn't be too hard for Silver to learn it as well. <br/><br/>Wish is a move that can only be gained from breeding. Is her father a Pikachu or a Skitty? :P<br/><br/>In my opinion, Bite, Protect, Hidden Power, and Double Team might be more level-fitting alternatives. </div>"

For quite some time, she struggled to do just that. A constant unending battle to survive as she desperately scavenged for food and fearfully hid from the shadows that seemed to lurk menacingly around every corner. Every turn seemed to hold either danger or sharpened teeth waiting everywhere she went. <br/><br/>Life had transformed into one that was little more than being on the run. <br/><br/>Perharps by sheer luck and fortune, she came across a team of Dungeon Explorers while she was on the run from a Predator. Selflessly they protected her from her demise, and she went on a series of missions with them. Both her oddly peculiar ability to heal others and boost their attacks coming to great use and eventually turning the young one into somewhat of an asset. <br/><br/>Over time however, even as she grew stronger herself as she helped others, times changed once again and the team she had grown to know and cherish disbanded.

And there's no harm in having two of the same Pokemon in the same team.<footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/stale-pizza"">@Stale Pizza</a></footer></blockquote><br/>It's fine, and you can still go as scraps.

Well, the first one, anyways. I got into the series about a year ago when I played Fallout 3, but eventually came to the conclusion that it was the weakest game in the main series. If you don't mind playing older turn-based games (or maybe even if you aren't. I've never been to keen on turn-based combat, but Fallout handles it cleverly enough to make it entertaining for me. Plus you can be the more clever sort of hero who talks their way to victory and can bypass most of the combat anyways) you'll have a lot of fun with Fallout and it's sequel.

But now that I'm posting around the same rate as everyone else, I don't think that's the case. <br/><br/>I think the real issue is how things stagnate after a certain distance from the starting line: Everyone tends to form up into groups, and then become very oblivious to anyone who isn't in their specific groups. It's like no one bothers to skim through any one else's posts, and it leads to situations like this where people obviously have further plans and even try to open up interaction with other groups, but since one or two of the groups has decided to race to the beds in a way that borders on breaking character, the GM needs to pull a timeskip so no one is left trapped in those very same beds. Like it's already been said, I think it's a pacing problem mixed in with a lack of interaction.<br/><br/>I know I have a penchant for pissing people off to the point where I manage to do it even when I'm not trying to, so I'd like to make it clear that I don't think this is really a malicious or even intentional phenomenon. I think this should still be brought up, though, as it's far from conducive to a jolly ol' roleplaying experience.</div>"

Apparently there's one for each of the ""sub-types"" (Void, Shadow, Light and mundane), and if one orb is destroyed, every Pokemon who shares that orb's respective sub-type will eventually die. A Pichu named Static  apparently wants these orbs on the reasoning that their power is starting to wane and they need to be recharged, but his methods for obtaining what seems to be one from Nina (a Nidoran who wears what seems to be a replica of one of them on a necklace) are less than kind.<br/><br/></div>"

I feel like the game's reputation is kind of misleading; if you've ever played a ""Classicvania""-style Castlevania game, it's basically that in 3D. If you're patient and pay attention, it's really just a moderately challenging game with a decent difficulty curve (which admittedly clashes a lot with most releases of the time).

It just tries to be in very lazy ways. I never really got the DLC due to the main game being unimpressive and repetitive as it was.

Kabling will probably give you a better description, but I guess I could explain a little something before you make your app. It has to do with sub-types. There's shadow (the type that exists in the gamecube pokemon games, and acts similarly), Void (Usually grey, or purple in coloration, they are weak to light moves, but immune to shadow moves. They also resist their own type, which is normally effective against everything else), and Light (which resists shadow and light, their moves are also super-effective against shadow pokemon, but are only normally effective against any typical pokemon type). There's a thing called 'differences' in the app, and that can be used to make your pokemon character a bit more of an individual, HOWEVER, I will not allow someone to abuse this system and make OP pokemon, such as anything with the 'wonderguard' ability, or types that cancel out a main weakness... I MAY allow a shadow pokemon, but you'd need a really good app for that... oh, and that's also where you'd list your character's sub-type if you want them to have one (most pokemon don't, by the way).<br/><br/>This is also secretly based on a post-apocalyptic Earth, and references to 'old' tech is acceptable, but said tech would be unusable. IE: You could find a broken CD, but it wouldn't play music (though, some CDs are still usable, they have had their data overwritten with TM data by a group of Porygon who we may or may not meet in the series... they're TMs, now, but won't do anything other than act as TMs)</div>"

They tend to be more aggressive than most, but aren't always flat-out evil.<br/><br/>Evolution works just based on just about what level you WOULD be if we were keeping track, it's a much looser system, so after a few dungeons, or something, you could evolve a cyndaquil into a quilava.</div>"

Towns and cities are safe due to Arceus' protection. The fact that they constantly shift (though we're not going with the whole 'floor' thing due to how ridiculous it can be, Mystery dungeons do change every time another foreign pokemon enters) will make a LOT of sense once a certain team figures out who's behind all of it.<br/><br/>EDIT: you guys post like lightning, but Kabling will be a while, and I don't see too much wrong with your app. You can start if you'd like.</div>"

Their movesets reflect this, and I think Fava can adopt a supportive role if he likes with the abilities he has. Thassa on the other hand is much bigger than either of them and more mobile (although probably not as fast as Dexter) - capable of getting just about anywhere, because, y'know, snake. So with moderate speed, durability, and attack (although outside of the statistic slant she'd have considerable strength due to her size), her 'role' is a little tougher to pin down. <br/>Maybe she's there to look scary/pretty? &lt;3.</div>"

That said, I don't think I'll be able to read the entire RP, at least not without at least a few days (I can read fast, but I've got stuff to do). Which page should I start reading from in order to get enough info to know where to post first?<br/>Also, anyone in or prepared to go to the Birchwood Forest so that Bob the Wurmple can follow them back to Treasure Town?<br/><br/>If you guys are interested, or want a refresher of the intro, I wrote a bunch of comments for each post. I was initially gonna do this in order to prepare to write my own summary of the RP, but after half an hour of this I decided against it.<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Yaaay"" type=""button"">Yaaay [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">Post by post summaries (No info from CS or OOC is used):<br/><br/>One: Lugia. Unnamed protagonist looks at outlaw board and then goes off to the Birchwood Forest to save a magikarp that somehow got lost there. Appears to be from a guild called ‘Arnold’s Guild’, has a badge, which apparently gives him both enemies and friends.<br/>Ponders stuff about types and dungeons. Beats the living **** out of a bellsprout that used vine whip. Ponders the morality of it.<br/><br/>Two: Evanist. Celes finds herself at a Town, appears to have run away from home like a bosslike b/c she doesn’t want forced evolution. Seems to be an Eevee. Info about the guilds is given - two opposing guilds, Arnold’s and some unnamed one. Wigglypuffs? Decides to explore the town after being creeped out by a Pokemon in a grate.<br/><br/>Three: Card Captor. Shiny Magikarp - Kamina - is apparently more powerful than usual and capable of using splash to go on land. Fucking awesome. States to absolutely nobody (like a boss) that he’s going to become a badass.<br/><br/>Four: Kabling. Another first-person perspective, name Miloon Hall. Magnemite, probably (magnet pokemon at least). Knows someone called Davis, who ‘created’ him  Looks to be paranoid as hell. Thinks that the world around him is full of pricks - looks like he’s projecting like hell. He leaves a community after Davis disappears in order to find him - going to ‘Allure’.  Davis may or may not be imaginary.<br/><br/>Five: Lugia. Protagonist finds a new, apparently unexplored section of the dungeon. Beats the crap out of a Patrat and finds himself completely lost.<br/><br/>Six: Ridlins. A character named Josh is in Allure. Appears to be some sort of wage slave working for a tyranical ‘Zane’. Has a lover or daughter or something named Keira.<br/><br/>Seven: Kabling. Miloon appears to have had eight fights thus far, and seems to have gone in circles. Like a boss. Tells a Magikarp to shut up, and then is tackled by a pidgey that harassed said Magikarp. Tries and fails to communicate with it (aggressively, admittedly), and beats the **** out of it. Humans seem to have once existed, or at least ‘Davis’ said so. Says that Davis is secondary to enjoying/dealing with freedom.<br/><br/>Eight: Evanist. Celes, goes to Treasure Town, which is different from the prior one (Allure?). Town has Kecleon brothers, seems to have fewer ghost ‘mons than the other one. Is basically game town. Explores. Is apparently capable of using ghost moves.<br/><br/>Nine: Card Captor. Kamina is a ****ing lunatic, and talks to Celes as such. Continues to be amazing. Tells Celes that he’ll join her on her quest, whateverit may be, and uses fire metaphors.<br/><br/>Ten: Evanist. Celes is weirded out and tells Kamina that she doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Ghastly attack out of nowhere, and townsfolk beat the **** out of it. Decides to go to Audino’s guild.<br/><br/>Eleven: Card Captor. Kamina has absolutely no knowledge of the world around him, as shown by his ignorance of guilds. Continues disturbing Celes, tells her that he’ll join her. Rants about being better than Fate says that he is. Is ****ING AWESOME.<br/><br/>Twelve: Evanist. Celes accepts it, but is very much annoyed by the constant chatter. Blows up on him(?) and then apologizes. Goes to the guild. POKEMON DETECTED stuffs.<br/><br/>Thirteen: Ridlins. Josh sees Kamina’s antics, apparently can’t move on land. Is in a pond. Meets Matt, a mad scientist that blows shit up, and has now blown glass into the water. Matt can apparently float on water, and tells Josh how to do that with his psychic powers. Josh fails.<br/>Josh feels inferior.<br/><br/>Fourteen: Stella, a bug type presumably (scuttled?). Is determined to do a mission - Lost Nosepass in a secret cavern. Looks for someone to accompany her.<br/><br/>Fifteen: Card Captor. Kamina is lost. Realizes (waiiii) that he’s annoying Celes, so he waits for her to do her thing.<br/><br/>Sixteen: Evanist. IT’S AN EEVEE! IT’S AN EEVEEE!. Guild guards ask her to move off and ask Kamina to get on the grate.<br/><br/>Seventeen: Card Captor. Kamina goes on the grate and says: ""my body and soul are prepared, begin the trial!""<br/>Kamina is, as always, ****ing amazing.<br/><br/>Eighteen: Evanist. Grate guards realize that Kamina’s a magikarp, assume that it’s food or something. Celes (Celina, she’s called here) facepaws and is incredulous at their antics.<br/><br/>Nineteen: Card Captor. Dramatically declares his daring and drastic victory. Ponders what further trials there may be. Is still a ****ING BADASS.<br/><br/>Twenty: Evanist. Celina (because that’s her name now) tries to sign up with the guild, and talks to an Archen (basically Arnold’s guild’s Chatot). Follows him to Arnold, the guildmaster.<br/><br/>… I’m not doing this for every single page, no way.</div></div></div>"

When speaking first-person is implemented for obvious reasons. Out of dialouge though, I can use a variety of terms for him varying from the orange pokemon, Growlthe, Dexter, might even shorten names like Thassa to Thas or Dexter to Dex to save time. If Falvev knows the character though he would ask before using shortened names like that and would obviously have to learn the name before using it in the first place.<br/><br/>As for knowing Thassa, we did a prepatory RP together ( Me and Anlu ) to get the characters ready to jump in, which is why they knew each other.<br/><br/>And thank you lavulman</div>"

As for never posting while lurking on the ""users viewing this page,"" well, I'm not part of this roleplay, and I don't intend to join due to general lack of motivation when it comes to writing lately; therefore, I don't post because, frankly, I don't have much a reason to as a simple lurker.

He developed his fathers famous charisma and his mothers famous fighting skill as he grew up and seemed destined for greatness. That is, until the accident. As he was approaching the age to leave his parents and make his own way in the world, a season of heavy storms hit the tiny village that he lived in. One evening, the storms grew so powerful that roofs were ripped from homes, entire families were blown away and the village collapsed in on itself. Corrigan's entire home collapsed in on itself, injuring him. Sheltered under the rubble, he did not see the storm blow his family away and awoke several days later alone and with a broken leg.<br/><br/>Corrigan's life was ripped out from underneath him by a fight between Thundurus and Tornadus. The two had fought for days above the village, uncaring to the consequences. Thundurus, too tired to continue, descended on the abandoned village and took refuge within an abandoned home. Corrigan pulled himself from the rubble and watched the legendary Force of Nature lick it's wounds while it's brother, Tornadus, gloated and bragged above him. In his concussed mind, Corrigan realised it was the fault of these legendarys that his family was blown away and his village was destroyed. He swore vengeance on the Forces of Nature but they only ignored him with a flick of their hands, sending him flying.   <br/><br/>That was five years ago and he is yet to exact his revenge. Five years on, he has found himself in Allure Town and has been based there for several months. Corrigan works as an independent explorer and has become somewhat known around the local region for his friendly personality and worldly knowledge about legendary Pokemon (he's been doing his research). All the while, he is keeping his ear to the ground on word about his family (mother, father and two sisters) and the Forces of Nature duo - leads have pulled him across the Pokemon world but to no avail. Perhaps, however, these rumours of stirring legendarys might lead somewhere... <br/><br/><span class=""bb-b"">Appearance:</span><br/>Corrigan, for all intents and purposes, is a regular Mankey. He has a rather rough-and-tumble, messy look due to spending many the night under the stars or fighting. He wraps a red bandanna tightly around his head and usually carries a small satchel for his possessions. He is usually found with a smile on his face, which has led to him becoming one of the more approachable explorers from the town. He possesses no power differences to other Mankey (he's not a dual-type).</div>"

Death doesn't care how much money you have, if you have a family, or how strong you are. Death comes for all. He looked at the corpses of his parents and he wept. He found a note from his parents stating a great many things. However he couldn't read so he simply left it alone. He lived in his cave alone and learned to care for himself very quickly.<br/><br/>After that Cobalt lived a fairly average life. He got up, ate his normal breakfast of berries, went and hunted for more, and then went back to sleep. That changed when he stumbled across the gold. He had no idea what to do with it as he had lived by himself in isolation and all he knew was that these rocks were very shiny. There was also a lot of the rocks as well. So he decided to begin taking them home.<br/><br/>It took him two weeks to bring all of the gold to his cave and when he was done he was significantly stronger. He became enamored by their shinyness and he began searching for more. He was obsessed with these shiny rocks and he needed more. He began to sleep less, he forgot to eat sometimes, the ever growing need to get these shiny rocks became consuming.<br/><br/>One day he was on his hunt for gold when he stumbled into the Crystal Chasm Mystery Dungeon. He became lost for a entire week. Even then though he continued to hunt for gold. He found none so he instead grabbed the next shiny thing he could find which was crystals. He found berries and Gummies to live off of until he could find his way out. He was slowly going feral as he continued to hoard crystals. He slowly began to give up on ever escaping as he found more and more crystals. He was attacked by a group of Sableeye as he grew tired and hungry near the end of the week. They had been angered by his theft of crystals and wanted them back. He was saved at the last minute by another rescue team which had been searching for a client. They defeated the Sableye and took him to the guild with them. He learned to communicate with them after a few months but when asked where he lived he never answered. He had forgotten where he stashed all of his gold.<br/><br/>Appearance: Cobalt has a blue eye instead of red eyes.<br/><br/>Differences: He has three moves that he shouldn't have learned yet due to his intense physical training. He is also more intelligent then he should he due to his diet of Gummies while he was stuck in the Crystal Chasm.</div>"

Beldum are a genderless species, listing either male or female in this field is pointless. Please mark the 'gender' field with a '-' sign. I'm fine with you referring to your character as a 'he', but 'he' isn't technically male.<br/><br/>2.) Most mystery dungeons in this RP don't have floors. Crystal chasm is, ironically, a single-floor dungeon. The reason for this is simply due to the fact that it's a beginner dungeon, and said cave has three exits all of which are at ground level. (One that exits out near Scale City via hidden passageway, one that exits out into the distant desert, and one that's usually used as an entrance)<br/>...<br/>I'd also prefer if you added some more to your bio, but unless Kabling yells at you, it's not necessary.</div>"

In many situations, you won't have the variety to deal with every type, so they give you a way of dealing damage that could be at least slightly better than the default attack.</div>"

They lived in a small village, not too small but not big enough to be a known town, and they were situated next to two dungeons, one a forest while the other was mountainous. Explorers did pass through from time to time, which allowed for some shops to build up and kept the village safe. Really it was fairly safe even without the explorers passing through, as there were several other pokemon acting as guards.<br/><br/>His father happened to be the leader of such guards, being role-model not just for him and his two siblings, one a Rufflet and the other a Fletchling but for all the young pokemon in the village. Whenever some rogue pokemon from the dungeon came to close to the village, or even attacked it, the guards would fend them off. His mother, while not a guard, was fully capable of defending herself, but was mainly serving as the teacher. Suffice it to say, Talon wanted to become much like his father, but not just for the village. So, he convinced his father and some other guards to train him when he was old enough.<br/><br/>Time passed, and he eventually confessed to his parents why he wanted to become stronger. It was to become an explorer, and create his own rescue team. It took some time, but they eventually gave him their blessing, but on two conditions. The first from his mother, that he must accept a gift from them and always keep it with him. The second was from his father, which was that he stay longer so that he could teach Talon one more thing. It took some time, a week in fact, but his father taught him Defog. After saying his goodbyes to everyone the next day, he set off on his journey.<br/><br/>Appearance: The single feather on his head, instead of being red(b) and white(t), is a royal blue(b) and black(t). The feathery ruff around his head and shoulders is a dark grey. Additionally, has a pair of goggles either around his neck or forehead, which was a gift from his parents.<br/>Differences: His father made sure to teach him Defog, saying it would be of great help when traveling.

I usually try to make my post first, so that I don't have to make lengthy posts containing info from all the previous posts. In the end though, I don't usually check RP Guild for days at a time, hence why my post scheme is so irregular. That, and sometimes I don't agree/get the sort of stuff some people describe in their posts, leaving me confused and doing something else whilst trying to figure that out - all while playing games and forgetting to actually clarify stuff. Not to mention I have the same problem regarding keeping track of characters and shit after often weeks at a time (heck, I've practically abandoned the characters section and honestly hoped that no one else joined, which seems to be the case).<br/><br/>Just to recap on myself: Magnemite that was supposed to evolve some time ago, has a radar hat that I haven't mentioned for a while, purple glowing scar... cringe-worthy thing involving a legendary... bit of an analytical cynic who's beaten a Zubat near-death, hopefully I stick to those scripts... only like a week and a half has passed in the RP since its inception, but I haven't made him that traumatised about it...<br/><br/>Anyway, heads-up lads: I'm gonna be away for the next 5 days or so. Going to a camp as part of a Massey University-sponsered business trip up in Albany (relative to me in Auckland NZ, anyway). Definitely will be Wi-Fi so I can still talk, though it costs 5 bucks a day to use and I don't intend to make posts via touchscreen keyboard.*<br/><br/>*That didn't stop me from making posts during our time on MCF<br/><br/>Damn it, I'm practically mumbling and mincing my sentences, too many points as well. Could someone pass me an English translator, please?<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>I SEE YOU RIDLINS, DEFINITELY NOT VIDEOMIXER<br/><br/>tl;dr - can relate to lavul's posting woes, given up on keeping detail on RP, away for next five days, I can't speak English properly and require a translator.</div>"

From the fragments of what I've read that I can remember, Miles seems like a pretty introspective character, so branching off during or after a fight to ruminate about details or reminisce about backstory fits pretty well for him. Rebecca is generally into and enthusiastic about what she's doing due to being the kind of adventurer she always wanted to be, so it's a bit harder for her to go off track unless some small detail directly prompts her to do so, even if she can ramble for a long time.<br/><br/>I know I'm beating this dead horse far more than I should, but I think this would be fixed all together if there was more personality put into these interruptions: Imagine if the eccentric Rival A says or does something during the mid-fight banter that hits a raw nerve in the normally jovial Character B. After the battle, Partner C asks Character B what made them act so strangely and Character B tells them that it reminded them of something in their sad past or something. This brings characters B and C closer together as partners, meaning they're likely to converse more later, while also establishing some animosity for Rival A, especially if he plays on this deliberately, meaning people are going to want to beat the crap out of him, meaning they're hyped up to see him next time he shows up, which all means that people are interested in what's going on.<br/><br/>This is arguably a pretty basic example, but it's one of the reasons why I love roleplaying so much as a medium; people can start with very basic characters and situations, but they can play off small details and things can eventually snowball into this incredibly tight narrative web of a story that everyone has an emotional investment in. It's just more difficult for this to come about when there's not much effort put into the conflict.<br/><br/>As for combo posts, I also find them more interesting than regular ones. But it's tough for me to convey the feeling that characters are working as a team instead of just haphazardly throwing things together. This would probably work better if we switched to more posting like you said, though, so there would be a better opportunity to set up team attacks with the other characters.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">Ultimately, I reckon we're just old now.

As we get more and more into things, we start analyzing them and the ways they work more and more, and we start to strive to get better, which means noticing the flaws and growing tired of them so we can focus on the good stuff. It's probably why I'm here complaining about it right now.<br/><br/><blockquote class=""bb-quote"">That said, you are allowed to opt out of posts, which would've been useful considering the delays we've experienced lately. <span class=""bb-b"">I just don't like it how others may stigmatise and perceive characters without posts to be 'still' or whatever, as if they're not even characters and just avatars in a fictional world.</span><footer><a class=""bb-mention"" href=""/users/kabling"">@KaBling</a></footer></blockquote><br/><br/>That's actually something that's really been bothering me for a while, but I didn't think I'd ever get a good chance to bring it up.

It's still a really fun idea for an RP and definitely something I still find interesting even if I feel like a lot of potential is being wasted. All I think you'd really need to do is just come up with some sort of character for all of these random encounters. It doesn't have to be groundbreaking or well-developed, just something to make this seem less wooden. Just throw whatever comes to mind at the wall and see what sticks. If people don't love it, then who really cares because it's a one-shot that'll be over in a couple of turns anyways. If they do love it, or you think there's potential somewhere, then you can contrive some way for them to show up again later and don't have to put in the effort to come up with another one.</div>"

It ended almost a year ago, and I've gathered up the members that haven't gone missing (which is pretty much just Bobert), and we've been working on rebranding it into a sequel that's detached enough from the original RP that you probably couldn't tell that they were connected unless you were in the first one. So I guess it's probably better if I just say it's an original mid-fantasy RP that we're working on. We're up to the point where we're working on the OP, so we should hopefully have it up soon. Dunno if you'll be interested in it, but I can give you a link to it once it's finished.</div>"

Even assuming that two translators are equally skilled, it's not an exact science. Even when reading up on trivia for this show I've seen multiple different versions of things as simple as main characters' catchphrases (""Despair awaits you at the finish line"" vs ""Your goal is despair"" for one example). At least three different groups have fansubbed W and they're likely to all take certain liberties and different interpretations when it comes to keeping the personality and tone of the original dialogue across such a huge language/culture barrier. I honestly couldn't say which version of that exchange is better translated, but I do know that I captured the GIF straight from the MP4 I downloaded. Either way, it's likely that your memory is spot-on.<br/><br/>I guess that is a weird term. I'd call them two-parters, but usually when I hear that I think of two-part specials, and the final episode was the only one that <span class=""bb-i"">wasn't</span> a two-part set, so that feels weird to me too. It was a really fun gimmick for me, though.</div>"

Confused, I walked out of the village, and found myself looking out into some sort of void, rift, or bottomless pit. I wasn't scared, just yet, but that's just about when some sort of weird, giant snake thing flew out of the void, straight at me, and with all of the speed of a jet plane. I was knocked back from the thing's speed alone, and tried to look for it, mainly out of fear, yet, it was gone... after that... some sort of rip through this strange reality appeared, nearly hitting me, and sucking me into the blank whiteness of it.

It's a really good story, it feels like reading a book. Here's what I've got so far for the recap:<br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel""><div class=""hider-heading""><button class=""btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button"" data-name=""Recap to end all recaps"" type=""button"">Recap to end all recaps [+]</button></div><div class=""hider-body"" style=""display: none"">As the story begins, Spruce (Snivy) is already a member of Arnold’s Guild in Allure Town. He’s currently in a one-Pokémon team named “The Odd Ones Out.” Soon, Celes (Eevee) and Kamina (Magikarp) enter the guild and decide to join Spruce’s team. Having left his village of racist plants, Milloon (Magnemite) enters the guild and causes an all out war between the guild members within seconds. While Arnold and Archie calm the fighting, Milloon unofficially joins Spruce’s team. They then go to bed.<br/><br/>The next day, they wake up to the beautiful sight of Arnold cooking gummies on the guild’s roof in the heat. Josh (Skrelp) and Matt (Reuniclus) join the guild. Matt is really just there to carry around Josh in the bucket right now. Hex (Combee royalty) enters town and joins Josh and Matt’s team, “Team Scarab.” Both teams take separate missions that lead to Beach Cave. There, everyone meets the outlaw, Mister Mudkip, who had kidnapped an Emolga and tricked Anthony (Goomy) into working for him. They beat Mister Mudkip in a boss battle, rescue the Emolga, and Anthony joins Team Scarab. They all go back to the guild to sleep.<br/><br/>Side note: Spruce buys Celes a Hidden Power TM she wanted, Celes almost accidentally sleeps in Spruce’s bed (it was dark and she couldn’t see), Spruce makes her a scarf out of vines, and takes an attack for her. I think I see a pattern here... (This had better happen, people!)<br/><br/>Around this time, Beedrill from Hex’s hive come to the guild looking for Hex. Celes’ parents put out a missing poster for her on the mission board. Arnold believes a Bidoof from the guild is behind these “mass kidnappings”, so Arnold ties him to a chair and drags him into the guildmaster’s room for interrogation. Kamina is as blissfully unaware to what’s really going on as Arnold is.<br/><br/>The Odd Ones Out take a mission in Foggy Plains, where they meet a Gible who needs protection to go get a treasure. The treasure, it turns out, is a void crystal! Before they can decide what to do with it, an Absol named Desia and a Haxorus named Quartzil attack. Although Spruce is immune to their shadow attacks, it removes all his color and turns him gray. Desia and Quartzil quickly dispose of the team. Before they can steal the void crystal, Davis (a Porygon fashioned into a war machine by humans) defends the crystal from them. By the time Desia and Quartzil defeat Davis, the void crystal is gone and the void is already creeping into this dimension. The two would-be thieves run away. The unnamed Pokémon who stole the crystal had already evacuated innocent Pokémon from the area, and arranged for Denise (Dragonite) to bring The Odd Ones Out to safety. There’s so many plot twists here it felt like Explorers of Sky all over again! (In a good way.)<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Team Scarab got a mission statement for Crystal Chasm. An exploration team there had found the camp of a suspicious Pokémon and wanted help investigating. They head off to the cave, followed by an Amaura named Carrol, who had just joined the guild and been told to join Team Scarab for the day. All of them get items from the team in Crystal Chasm, and head off to the Tyranitar.</div></div><br/><br/>Honestly, someone should make this into a book.</div>"

Also, I think there should be theme music for places/boss battles. (Unless it was in the OOC and I just missed that.)<br/><br/>Overall, I think it was great. It never seemed to get too slow for any teams, and they all have part of the storyline to do (void crystals, orbs of balance, the eldritch nightmare creature). If there's one thing that bothered me about it though, it's that the guilds and townsfolk characters faded into the background a bit too much. I sort of feel like the guilds should have more of a role in this, seeing as they're the main source of authority around and the teams are dealing with potentially world-ending catastrophes.<br/><br/>Other than those concerns though, I loved reading it. I'll probably write up a short summary of the RP's events up to this point</div>"

Even though he was one of the only Shinx in that area, he wasn't teased about it, and had a very smooth life. Having it easy isn't always good, though. Gavin was sheltered from virtually all the world's problems, from knowing about the anger between the guilds, to something as small as a berry shortage. Needless to say it shocked him when something bad happened in his seemingly perfect world.<br/><br/>Nobody knows exactly how it started, but a rumor has been going around that a group of Bunnelby were attacking a Chimchar that wandered into their territory. The Chimchar fought back with a flamethrower, which completely missed the Bunnelby, and instead hit a tree. Using a fire attack in a dense forest probably wasn't a good idea. Within minutes, almost a quarter of Birchwood Forest had caught fire - the part of the forest that Gavin lived in. It quickly became big enough to see even from Treasure Town, which is exactly what happened. Residents of Treasure Town noticed what was happening in Birchwood Forest and word quickly spread of their emergency. Soon there were groups of water Pokemon making their way over there to help extinguish the flames.<br/><br/>Back in the center of the blaze, the entire place was in chaos. Pokemon were running from the fire as trees were burning and toppling to the ground. Gavin was unsure of what to do, because as far as he knew, nothing remotely like this had ever happened. His house was too far away, so the possibility of him hiding in it wasn't an option. Although his house is made of wood, so it wouldn't have been a good idea anyway. Much to Gavin's relief, he spotted his parents running over to him. They all met up and tried to find an exit to the forest that didn't require walking through the flames. There only seemed to be one way out of this area, so they made the decision that would change Gavin's life forever, they followed the path. Not long after, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from behind them. A large herd of Skidoo had been faced with the same problem, and were currently barreling down the path at unstoppable speeds. Gavin barely managed to avoid them, however his parents weren't as lucky. The only thing that the Skidoo seemed to be thinking about was escaping the fire. Gavin's parents were caught in the stampede and carried off, which would be rather comical if not for the situation.<br/><br/>By the time the water Pokemon extinguished the flames, most of that area of the forest had already burned to the ground. Gavin, having no where else to go, returned to his home to see what was left of it. Like him, many other Pokemon were slowly returning as well only to find that the forest was inhospitable and almost beyond repair. There was nothing left of Gavin's house except a pile of ashes and a blue scarf that had somehow avoided the flames. That item was the only thing left of Gavin's life in Birchwood Forest.<br/><br/>Ten years have passed since the fire. Gavin had left Birchwood Forest in hopes of finding a new place to call home, and his efforts were rewarded with the discovery of Scale City. Using the small amount of money that he had found in dungeons, Gavin bought a house in the city. Even though he got a job and had enough money, his life quickly began to feel empty, so Gavin decided to join the guild. To his surprise, literally every single Pokemon in the Scale City guild was Dragon type. Despite that, Denise, the guild master, wasn't opposed to Gavin joining, and was actually confused as to why everyone there was Dragon type. Gavin's first mission was to find a lost Oran Berry in Secret Cave. not the most challenging mission, but he was just a beginner at this. The last thing that Gavin seems to remember is getting ambushed by a Dweeble...<br/><br/>Appearance: Gavin looks like a normal Shinx, except he wears the blue scarf that he found in the remains of his house.<br/>Differences: No differences, except that he knows Ice Fang. (Egg move.)</div></div><br/><br/>And here it is, lol.</div>"

Honestly, this was the easiest part of Blaze's life. It was simple, and she always had friends, and helping hands. It lasted for a few years, until one day, one of her mother's group decided to use attract... and Blaze was right there, near him when he did that. Once her mother noticed that Blaze was ALSO attracted, she kicked Blaze out of her group, and knocked out the innocent salandit who 'dared' to use attract on someone other than the group's queen.<br/><br/>	After that, she went from group to group, coming up with a false identity in the 'Magma' name, pretending to be male until her cover was inevitably blown time and time again. She still managed to stay at the Ashen Volcano, her home, for some time afterwards, working as a lone member of her own group, however, food was already scarce in the dungeon, and the others had tens of salandit looking, while she only had herself... it was extremely thin pickings for her, and the few things she did find were either rotten, dried, or stale. Thankfully, she never got sick from that stuff, just due to her own poison typing, but even then, it didn't exactly taste good, or even provide as much nutrients as normal food. Eventually, the volcano was beset by what she was taught were 'evil intruders', but, when she followed them, she noticed that they were on some sort of mission. Intrigued by that thought, she followed as the exploration team rescued a dratini from the clutches of her mother... and, once they saved that dratini, she learned that her mother had captured that pokemon using her pheromones, and forced him to starve himself for her... not to mention the supposed fact that her mother worked the poor, innocent snake to exhaustion, as well.<br/><br/>	It was then that her new mission became clear. She wouldn't end up like her mother, some random maven of a group of salandit, no, she was going to run away from this place, find the city that they all teleported to, and she would join that exploration guild! Nothing was going to stop her as she ran as fast as her tiny legs could carry her away from her former home, away from the protection of her mother, and other salandit, and towards a hopefully better life... one where she wouldn't use other pokemon until they died out, but one where she would help others in danger, one where she would EARN the respect of someone by being kind, and by being strong, rather than just manipulate them with her pheromones. She kept running until she found herself in a forest, where a wurmple seemed to be leading around a gible, however, she saw the thing poison his apple... though, she tried to yell 'NO! Don't!' her voice seemed to get caught in her throat... and she was too far away to do anything as the thing robbed the gible of the last of his possessions. The gible started running back towards the river, and the wurmple was right there with him, for some reason, trading something of his for something else, but... from what she could hear, he even managed to rip him off on that account. NOW was her chance! She was going to come to the rescue, and burn the evil bug to help out the poor dragon, all she had to do was run a little bit further, and maybe try to say something cool.<br/><br/>Appearance: Her head is a somewhat pinkish color instead of the ashen black color it usually is, and her body is a sort of lavender color. This, of course, makes it harder for others to believe that she's 'just one of the boys'.<br/><br/>Differences: In addition to being a poison and fire type, Blaze is also a psychic type, and can learn some psychic type moves via level up. She can also, on random occasions, look into the future of one pokemon, if she's touching them with her hands.</div></div><br/><br/>And I'm done with my newest app... what does everyone think of it?</div>"

He used to live in what was pretty much a ghost town, with nothing but sand and rocks for miles. There was really no reason for anyone to go there on purpose. That didn't last long, though. Some millionaire discovered the town and decided to make use of all the unused land. Thus, the Colosseum of Champions was built, and what was once a near-abandonned village was soon transformed into a large, bustling city.<br/><br/>   The Colosseum attracted many Pokemon from around the world, including Donovan himself. Every opportunity he got, he would go and watch the gladiators battle. He idolized them, and even began acting like they did in the arena. His mother, noticing this change, forbade him from going, thinking the battles were too violent for him. He didn't let this stop him, though. As terrifying as his mother was, he would still sneak out to the Colosseum whenever she wasn't paying attention.<br/><br/>   Eventually, he reached the minimum age to sign up to become a gladiator. Of course, he signed up at the first opportunity. He'd always wanted to be a gladiator, and now he was finally going to fight alongside all of his idols, or so he thought. Unfortunately for him, that wasn't about to happen. For some reason, Donovan hadn't noticed that the gladiators were a lot bigger than he was, and he wouldn't stand a chance in a fight against them. Much to his surprise, the Colosseum's owner simply laughed at him. He left the arena confused, with no idea why they would turn him away.<br/><br/>   Outraged, Donovan left everything behind, and ran away from the people who rejected him. He flew into a rage, beating the tar out of anyone who crossed his path, or trying to, at least. Turns out, he wasn't as tough as he thought he was. He was forced to flee from most of the fights he started. Eventually, though, he found a place where he could vent his anger without anyone putting up much of a fight. It was a forest, full of Bug- and Flying-types that didn't really stand a chance against him.<br/><br/>Appearance: <br/><img src=""https://i.imgur.com/totEHWL.png""/><br/><br/>   For the most part, Donovan looks like a regular Aron. He does, however, cover his face in red war paint, which he claims is made from the blood of his enemies.<br/><br/>Differences: None</div></div></div>"

She trained with all sorts of pokemon to learn how to heal, protect, and make others stronger. But that sort of thing was easier said than done. A few years after Miseri left home to help others, she went through a lot of trouble. Pokemon who never took care of themselves but expected Miseri to help them without question. Pokemon who didn't trust them and even tried to hurt them, just because they tried to help everyone. Some who even blamed them for all the horrible things that happened to them because she couldn't do more. It made it very hard for Miseri to want to keep helping people but she kept trying.<br/><br/>One day a powerful storm came when her group was trying to move between settlements. Being a small flying pokemon, Miseri was swept up by the storm and tossed very far away from her group. By the time she came to she tried to go back to them but couldn't find anyone. She tried to follow their trail but everywhere she looked she only found a dead end. She tried to find other people who might've seen them but they didn't know who she was looking for. Miseri didn't know how long she searched until eventually she just stopped. For four years she dedicated her life to helping others but she was met with scorn, distrust, and now solitude. She did everything she could to help others and all she got out of it was pain.<br/><br/>She couldn't give up. She didn't want to. She had given everything she had into her simple dream of helping others, she couldn't let this tragedy bring her down. As much as it hurt her, she knew she had to be strong. But even so, she cried knowing that everything she's been doing was pointless and no one appreciated it. She had to accept it though and keep going, keep helping others, and move on. She didn't know what else to do if she gave up. Miseri didn't want to know.<br/>Appearance: Miseri is a rare ""shiny"" cutiefly, with pink skin and wearing a red scarf with a white cross sign. Her wings are also rather ragged and scarred from her many years battling and surviving as a traveling healer, but they still let her fly just fine.<br/>Differences: Miseri has some psychic powers which manifests as a powerful telekinesis. It's helpful for her since she's physically too weak to handle most normal sized objects, but she can use her telekinesis to compensate. It's strong enough that she can focus her powers to hold a single pokemon up in the air no matter their weight and make it nearly impossible for them to move or escape until she looses focus.</div>"

But yeah, ""I'll get it done this weekend"" is a relatable mood, lol.<br/><br/>Between finally watching Pokémon Generations with my girlfriend and playing Pixelmon with her I've kind of been hankering for another Pokémon RP with trainers in it, though it's probably better if I try to vent it out by drawing or something for now since like 80% of it is probably just the cool poses they do when they send out their Pokémon.</div>"

Backstory and everything.<br/><br/>But it's good that you're feeling better! Gender dysphoria and depression are not a fun combination. As for finding time to write though, for me it really depends on whether I have time and I'm in the mood for it at the moment. Overall, I've really been in the mood for RPing this past year and a half. I thought I gave up on it a while back, but it turns out I just needed a (3 year) break, lol.<br/><br/>I watched Pokémon Generations a while back and really liked it. The Old Chateau one might be my favourite, I think I'll have to go back and watch it again soon since it's getting close to Halloween.

Everything will be modern, or at least modern-like and the guild will be a police force. With the new technology, there will be weapons that improve a pokemon's basic attack, to the point where moves aren't as emphasized as they are in this one... the weapons come in three main types, swords, fists, and guns, and both swords and guns have quadru-variants for quadrupedal pokemon, and individual pokemon may have some skill in any of the three types, just as their species may have skill in a type of weapon (for example, the remoraid line having natural gun skills, even if remoraid, itself can't hold one). Guns are the least damaging of the three just because they have, well, range, with fists being the most damaging of the three thanks to having such a short range. <br/><br/>The weapons all have type cards that change the attack's types, and each type has a card, except for electric, and steel, because those are the default types, with electric being the type the weapon uses when it's 'on', and steel being the type the weapon uses when it's 'off'. Pokemon in the police force will have dulled, padded, or otherwise de-powered weapons simply due to the fact that they don't want their police force killing their targets, though, full-powered, sharpened variants exist, they are mostly illegal, and traded around on the black market. Just as well, pokemon with natural weapons (such as Absol, machamp, the timburr line) will have augments made to them to make their natural weapons compatible with the type chips... and they will also likely be padded, blunted, or otherwise de-powered just to keep them from killing their targets as well.<br/><br/>Beyond that, pokemon will likely be trying to study the anomaly that is the mystery dungeons that seem to be appearing in the most random places... forest dungeons could appear in the middle of an ocean, a volcano could suddenly become one, just, anywhere on the map that doesn't have a town on it seems eligible for any type of dungeon, and none of the pokemon know why. Criminals tend to hide out there, so it's often the police force's job to explore those areas, and take down whomever might be using the mysterious, shifting lands as cover. On that note, I might have this one start with more dungeons being revealed than I did with this one, and I'll obviously actually use the character page correctly this time.<br/><br/>so... after reading that long bunch of weirdness, thoughts? Questions? Suggestions?<br/>Also, before anyone asks, no, this won't replace the current PMD, it's just thoughts for what I might make after this one's done.</div>"

She burst out from the trees laughing like crazy, and pulled on the hilt of her whip, causing the bear to stop. She smirked and hopped off the temporarily subdued bear, and examined it. Then, with one last ruff tug on the hilt, the snake-demon attached to the whip's hilt coiled so tightly that it decapitated the bear in seconds. She pulled the trigger on the whip twice, the snake-demon sliding back into the hilt until it was just a hilt, and then she attached the hilt to her belt.

""On the island i'm from, we have this creature called the Manananggal. You see, by day, the manananggal would take the form of a beautiful woman in her early to late thirties, she would behave just as you'd expect from a normal person, socializing with everyone, helping where she could, she'd become a well loved person in the community. But at night, the manananggal would detach its torso from its body and grow wings. The manananggal would then slip into the homes of pregnant woman and suck out the hearts of the unborn children by piercing the stomach and chest of the mother and child respectively with a long proboscis like tongue. It was said that the manananggal was nomadic and would often stay whichever village experienced an increase in pregnancies until suspicion as to its identity arose. My nana told me that some villages would even banish any single woman around thirty until all of the children were born, just to prevent an attack.""."

Before he continued, Mateiu tossed his canteen to Katrice and thanked her for offering to fill the canteens, ""A katana might be good for slicing soft bodied opponents, but it won't do much if you run across something with armor, or maybe thick scales. For that you'd need something meant to chop or pierce, like a claymore or a scimitar."" Mateiu explained as he began to draw his sword from it's sheath yet again, ""Or perhaps if you're dead set on a curved weapon, you could try something similar to this. See how the blade is thick and curves inward? Its so that I can cleave through bone, or cause bone breaking dents in armor."". The hunter examined Charlotte silently for a few moments, as if trying to decide what he thought might not only fit Charlotte, but what would be a good sword for combat, ""Aha! I got it, what about a yatagan? Its sleek, but at the same time strong enough to hold up against a strong beast or person."", Mateiu looked to Aiden as if waiting for input from the blacksmith, given that Adien was more adept when it came to the knowledge of weapons."

The long trek down the mountain and through frigid forests and finally through to a lush green area that surrounded the Hunter Village, had tired the group out and they required rest anywhere they could get it. Ronan noticed an inn near the entrance of the town and decided it would be best to check in there. He carried news of great importance and needed to pass it on to whoever was in charge in the Hunter's Village. ""<i>Go get us some rooms in the inns, I must speak to the village elders.</i>"" Ronan spoke is the native tongue of his tribe to the rest of his men before he left to go to the Elder's house. The beauty of the plants around him made him feel at ease, though very out of place, the warmth here was more than he was used to.<br/><br/>As he approached the Elder, a sense of dispair hit him... What if his tribe was already crushed by now? What if they couldn't stop the great Ice Dragon before it destroyed the whole village? There was a certain sense of urgency about this quest, but the perilous journey proved to be too much for some of the men he brought with him, as he had left the village with six tribesmen and only arrived with three. Monsters awaited every turn and creatures of the night stole away those who were too easily charmed. Only the strong survived and Ronan doubted the strength of his remaining tribesmen. An old man stepped forth from the hut and greeted Ronan with kind words.<br/><br/>""Ah, if it isn't the Prodigy Hunter from Rakan. Welcome Ronan Asher, it is a sure pleasure to see you in these times of conflict. What brings you here? More trade goods perhaps?"" The Elder spoke to him cheerfully, then turned to a face that was much less gleeful as Ronan spoke, ""I'm afraid not, sir. I bring terrible news from my people, a Great Ice Dragon that has yet to be named has attacked out tribe and appears to have attacked other mountain tribes aswell. We fear it will be settling into the mountain to produce young and to make it's home. I have been sent to give you word of these happenings and to gather a group of skilled hunters to aid me in seeking vengence for my slain brothers and sisters.""

His tribe lived in the icy mountains to the north of Hunter Village and so they live like a tribe of warriors, fighting off whatever foul dragons and wyverns came their way. His people were battle hardened and they were fearless, brave and most of all they were intelligent in knowing how to use the land to their advantage and resources on it while on the hunt.Ronan was given armor by his family and his sword and shield were crafted from a beast that he had slain while on the hunt, however his armor was also craft from the same race of beasts many generations before him. Ronan had been to Hunter Village before, but only to trade meat and bones with the commoners for things more essential to the mountain tribesmen until a terrible Ice Dragon came upon his village and crushed it in a matter of hours despite the efforts of his tribes men. In this dire hour, Ronan and a group of inexperienced hunters were sent to Hunter Village to warn them of the danger to the north and to get in contact with a group of strong, southern hunters that could face such a challenge.<br/><br/>-other: Ronan is fluent in the language of the southreners due to his amount of trade with them, but he is known to speak in his own tribes tongue from time to time. Also, he is rarely seen out of his armor unless he he sleeping, in which case he is normally wearing a black, long sleeved shirt and black pants, if it is cold or snowy, this outfit is accompanied by a fluffy black parka with a white fur trim around the hood of it.<br/><br/>9?"

All around, there is nothing to be seen. With the eyes at least. However there is something, in this nothing. Like threads of spider silk, little trails of energy crisscross one another, forming intricate if a bit chaotic patterns. The threads shift and move once in a while, as if tossed by a breeze that does not exits. With the right senses however, the cause of the shift would be very apparent. Like a dense mist, Tahaan plays with his messy tangle of energy, adding new ones, bending the existing ones, and occasionally just snapping a dozen at a time.<br/><br/>It is playing a game. The game has no rules to speak of, the only goal of it to amuse the energy creature. To it's senses, there is plenty in that emptiness. There is, all around, little bits to move and change, a riling mass of energy just out of reach crashing back and forth in an eternal struggle, one against the other. The energy is the closest thing to it's parent. Tahaan doesn't know how exactly it came to be, however it does know where it came from, and it is also beginning to get an idea of what it wants to do with this existence it was given.<br/><br/>Tiring of the threads, it draws them all back in, the dark gray of it's being swirling round and round until they are all brought back inside of it's mass. The faint twinkle here and there is the only break in it's almost purely bland gray mass, and as it darts through the now truly empty space the twinkles shimmer with a light all their own. It's seeking out it's partner. The only other thing that can amuse it here. The only other thing that seems to move about the way it does and has a will of it's own. The crashing energies do not interest it as much as the other being.<br/><br/>There it is. It is much lighter than Tahaan, seeming to be more weavy and solid. It ripples and waves, but doesn't seem to move around as much as the cloud does. It seems more settled. Tahaan races in to greet Aysus, swirling around it like a tornado before coming to a stop beside it, Tahaan's full mass settling into one place. Tahaan doesn't stop moving altogether however, bouncing up and down happily, glad to be by it's counterpart's side. It's always been drawn to the other mass, and is at it's most joyful when it can be close. It is only it's own curiosity that draws the dark cloud away to play, not wanting to disturb it's more calm and unexcitable partner.<br/><br/><i>~The threads were fun, the game took a long time. How are you, Aysus?~</i><br/><br/>Tahaan has no idea how they came up with their designations, but it does not seem that anything else would suit them better. There is no sound in this nothingness, but Tahaan can speak to Aysus none the less. A kind of communication that does not require sound to be transmitted to the other."
34096,"This, That, and The Other Thing ~ PopeAlessandros x Jiskastya",IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19169-this-that-and-the-other-thing-popealessandros-x-jiskastya,['1x1'],2014-06-02 01:47:00,Jiskastya,"Aysus was still. It was the stillness of the center of the universe, the stillness of something around which everything else spins. Yet even so, in that ultimate stillness, there was motion. For Aysus was tied to that universe of which it was the center. The universe pulled at it, pushed at it, creating the smallest of ripples within it, silken in their flutters. But, for now, there was no reason to pull back, no reason to push back. The tremulous threads were a nuisance, nothing more, something to be observed and tolerated until they finally fell into the truth of their existence. Aysus could not have articulated what was that truth, but it waited, just beyond sight, tremulous and faint, but certain.<br/><br/>Aysus shifted, rolling out to one side, and the universe rolled with it. The threads gathered around it, swarming, tying up in knots before breaking apart in a chaotic paroxysm of energy. Slowly growing more tired of the chaos, it reached out, pulling at one thread, drawing it tight against the opposing side of infinity. Another thread and another thread it pulled, until it sat at the center of a web that spanned the universe in all directions. And for a moment, everything around Aysus was still.<br/><br/>It let go of the threads with a gentle expiration, knowing it could not hold them, and for a heartbeat in reality they hovered in place, coiling as faintly as Aysus in the emptiness of eternity. But they would not remain. They were not constant. Slowly the threads worked against each other, every tiny ripple of distortion amplifying against the next until the universe returned to its base state. Unordered. Uncontrolable.<br/><br/>Tahaan’s return was a welcome distraction from the chaotic nothingness. Not that Aysus’ companion was really that much less chaotic than the universe around it. Unlike Aysus, who sat as a rooting element for the threads, around which they could gather and tug, Tahaan danced among the threads, pulling and plucking and, most importantly, scattering. There was a very good chance it was Tahaan’s actions which caused the slight disturbances in Aysus’ otherwise calm exterior, but Aysus did not begrudge its companion its pleasure. They were two sides of the same coin, equal yet opposite, and while each acted against the other, neither could be complete without the presence of the other.<br/><br/>It was for that reason that Aysus let out a pleased tremor, one that echoed along the threads, causing them to briefly enter into a state of greater turmoil. It was a greeting, and acknowledgement towards Tahaan and its presence in the universe, and, most importantly, Aysus’ was of letting Tahaan know that it was pleased at its return, despite the opposition it represented. Aysus was a being of stillness. What better way to let a being of motion know pleasure than to create motion, at the sacrifice of stillness?<br/><br/><i>~Centered~</i>Aysus replied,<i>~But dissatisfied. Your game grew dissatisfying to you as well, I take. Otherwise you would not yet be back.~</i><br/><br/>There was an answering moment of stillness, where Aysus sat, letting the universe tug at it, and Tahaan swirled about its counterpart, waiting for the completion of the thought that was building within its partner’s mind. The thought was neither long nor short in coming to the forefront of Aysus’ mind. There was no change in this universe, only the vibration of the threads. And that was no way to measure the passage of reality.<br/><br/><i>~Come.~</i>Aysus finally concluded, pulling Tahaan in towards it.<i>~I wish to try something. Hold still, as much as you are able, for one moment.~</i><br/><br/>Once more Aysus gathered the threads toward it. But this time it did not resist the desire of the threads to draw close to it. Instead it focused on drawing them in, drawing and drawing until they gathered around the two consciousnesses like a storm, pulling and pushing, roiling and bending and twisting and breaking, only to come back together a moment later in and new and even more chaotic pattern. And for a point in the history of the universe, that is all there was. Two consciousnesses, drifting together through reality, existing as the threads of the universe drew in around them in greater and greater number. And then the instant passed. Aysys reached out, gathering together the ends of all of the threads that surrounded the two, and pulled them in towards its center. The threads hummed, straining against themselves and each other, until it seemed like they should all break apart and explode across the universe.<br/><br/>But Aysus held them in place despite the imminent eruption, drawing them closer and closer together until it seemed like there was no room left for the two companions. Aysus could feel Tahaan moiling about above it, as they drew closer and closer together by the force of the threads. Soon it seemed they must inhabit the same space, or be crushed by the threads Aysus drew in around them.<br/><br/>And then the gathering was over. The threads stood quivering around them, vibrating and trembling against each other in a space that left them no room to move against each other. Out in the greater space of the universe the ends of the threads had the room to move, and there they shivered and shook in massive upheaval, protesting against this breaking of their most innate nature as they were shoved ever closer to each other, in a space that, by their very natures, they could not inhabit simultaneously. But around Aysus and Tahaan it was too tight, and the threads could do nothing but wiggle slightly as they tried to find room to maneuver away from their opposites.<br/><br/><i>~Go!~</i>Aysus ordered, and Tahaan broke free from around it.<i>~Do what you will with it. I care not.~</i>And that Tahaan did. It dove among the threads, poking and prodding, ripping and tearing, and all the while Aysus gathered together the new ends that Tahaan created, pulled them in tighter and tighter until Tahaan was dancing among threads that were separated by nothing but the faintest sliver of reality. The threads rippled around it, becoming tangled and inseparable, and still Aysus was drawing them in, pulling new threads to fill in every space that Tahaan made around them. It was exhilarating, intoxicating, and the threads were growing into larger and larger bundles, a weaving of two things that were not meant to come together into such close proximity. Something had to break soon. Maybe it would be Tahaan and Aysus themselves; for a universe no longer able to cope with their meddlings might break apart and pull them with it. Somehow, they both unconsciously accepted the risk, understood that it was worth it to find the new option that was waiting just beyond the edge of existence. For they sensed what the other alternative was, and it was more heady than anything they had ever experienced before this moment. For, if they did not break, the thing to give would be the reality they had always known. Now it was a race against the nature of the universe, to see which was the stronger: the threads, or the combined power of Aysus and Tahaan.<br/><br/>In the end, it was reality that broke. The threads, constantly fighting against each other in a desperate attempt to escape Tahaan and Aysus’ manipulations, and each other, finally melded so completely that there was no way for them to ever break apart until the end of reality itself. And something new, something that nothing had never seen before, bloomed.<br/><br/>It was bright. A moment ago Aysus could not have told itself what that meant, but now it understood. This was bright, and it could not help but recoil from this new, unexpected truth. For a moment it longed to put it out, to break the weaving of the threads and return to the way things had always been. For the way things had always been had to be right, didn’t it? But there was something far too beautiful about the light to destroy it. Something bittersweet and heartbreaking, but something that whispered of the beat that thrummed withing Aysus.. It was the promise of a new reality. But with that first promise came a second promise: There would be no way to return to the reality Tahaan and Aysus had once known. This was the ultimate break, and there was no turning back if they moved forward.<br/><br/>For a moment, Aysus was more still than it had ever been in the history of its existence.<i>~Can you repeat that?~</i>was its answer to the precipice that stood before them."
34097,"This, That, and The Other Thing ~ PopeAlessandros x Jiskastya",IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19169-this-that-and-the-other-thing-popealessandros-x-jiskastya,['1x1'],2014-06-02 13:54:00,PopeAlessandros,"It is happy. Tahaan falls still at the greeting, returning the courtesy in kind. It knows what it's partner likes, and Tahaan tries often to oblige. However, at this moment, things change. Things become different It watches the threads, listening to it's counterpart. Things, ideas, somethings begin to grow in it's companion and Tahaan can not wait to see what it is. It travels hither an tither, it's impatience making it move in it's natural random fashion, but always nearby. When bidden, it trembles happily and draws in close to the other. The threads around, the nothingness stretching forever, Tahaan is overjoyed to be trying something new. Something different. It has always wanted more. Leave it to Aysus to come up with a new game.<br/><br/>Threads come, and more threads, the storm harmonizing with them as it gathers in close about them. Tahaan tried it's best not to do too much, but on occasion it shivers with delight.<br/><br/><i>~I like this game.~</i><br/><br/>It wriggles about, in so close to it's counterpart. It's never been so close, and the newness brings joy. Something different is always something to be happy about. It can't see the energy any more, just the threads, and Aysus. Even all the nothing is gone, there is so much around them, so many little threads Tahaan would normally be toying with at this point. However it is not Tahaan's game, so it waits. Waits for what Aysus wants it to do.<br/><br/>Then Tahaan's part of the game begins. Like a shot it fires off, playing with the thread with the utmost joy. Having so many to play with as opposed to the couple here and small mass there. It is a good game for Tahaan, and even as Aysus does it's part, Tahaan does it's best to make things move the way it believes they should. It does not notice the danger, too wrapped up in what it's doing. It's very being it threatened by what they are doing, but there is no stopping Tahaan now. This is a game, and it is determined to play it out. Catching a glance at Aysus and what the other is doing another ripple pf joy runs through the gray cloud, thinking Aysus is playing the game with it making Tahaan very happy. They had never played together before, their tastes in play very different, But now, at they work together, a new bond seems to form between them, and Tahaan would not have it any other way.<br/><br/>Suddenly it happens! Something new is born, and Tahaan stops for an instant to admire it before darting to Aysus's side.<br/><br/><i>~This is pretty. I like you idea.~</i><br/><br/>It continues to watch it carefully, aware that Aysus is torn about it, but unable to feel such mixed feelings itself. A new pulse in the universe brings shivers across the gray cloud, causing the little sparkles to shine out the brighter.<br/><br/><i>~I like it. . . But something is missing. It is too much. . .One way.~</i><br/><br/>Unsure of the meaning behind it's own words Tahaan moves closer to it, wondering what's missing. There are threads left over, the tangled mass of them writhing, pulling away from the new thing. Tahaan moves to them, scooping them up inside itself with the others it gathered earlier. Moving back to it's counterpart's side it has an idea.<br/><br/><i>~Help me hang them. Follow me.~</i><br/><br/>It pulls out the ends of the thread, all not untangled after being inside of Tahaan. Drifting forward it moves around the bright thing, the threads trailing out behind it. Aysus follows it's lead and begins hanging the thread. The new thing simply stays in place, but the threads once more try to move away. Tahaan knows the threads can not think on their own, so their movements mus be because of what is left over from the creation. But, nothing should be left over. Everything pulled together should be used, because one can not have a part of a whole an expect it to stand. Tahaan knows how much Aysus values a solid existence, so it works hard to make one.<br/><br/>The threads over lap, weaving around each other in a far more ordered fashion than when the bright thing was made. These thread cling to one another. Eventually the bright thing becomes almost lost in the threads, and the threads themselves begin to expand outwards in all directions. They act as if some great explosion is only moments away. But Tahaan does not give up. It wants to complete it's idea, and it will not be denied. When the last thread falls into place, the bright thing completely covered, Tahaan calls Aysus to it side.<br/><br/><i>~With me!~</i><br/><br/>As one they enter the thick bind of threads, pressing them into the bright thing in one place. When at last the two things meet, the threads, and the brightness. Like the rippling waves of it's counterpart's folds the threads ripple out, becoming a new thing. The bright thing is once again hanging in the nothingness, but all around anywhere where there is no brightness, there is now dimness. Tahaan looks around to the side of itself not facing the brightness and finds it to be almost black. Looking to Aysus, it finds the same. The two things feel right, in order now. The balance between them in perfect harmony, like the two beings that created it.<br/><br/>Ecstatic Tahaan rushes around Aysus once more, shadowing the other in darkness every time it passes between the brightness and Aysus. Very pleased with what they have made Tahaan settles beside it's counterpart once more and simply basks in the feeling.<br/><br/><i>~Look what we made Aysus. We made something new! More than a something, two somethings. Two, like us.~</i><br/><br/>It's communications are very excited, but it tries to let Aysus be so it can enjoy the creations the way it's counterpart always does. In it's own calm still way. Tahaan looks a the dark, the invisible bits of it that are connected to the light. They will never be separated. Not ever."

Even Aysus, who had most of its attention still focused on the brightness, could feel it. It followed after its companion, taking a slower, more direct course that cut through the bouncing of its companion. Just like everything else in this uncertain new reality the threads were behaving in a way that they had never behaved before. They writhed away from the light, leaving an emptiness surrounding the bright thing, a space with even more nothing than the rest of the surroundings. At least in that nothing there were the threads. But in that space reality was beginning to distort, and the light began to waver.<br/><br/>Seized by something that almost resembled the desperate excitement of its companion Aysus moved in, following along behind Tahaan. The threads moved towards it, as they always did, but the strange, repulsive force of the light was great enough that even Aysus' presence was not enough to repair the imbalance. It pulled the threads in towards the brightness, drawing them in closer and closer to the point of light.<br/><br/>The feeling thrumming in the air was far more massive than the sensation of the creation of the light. The threads began to race out towards infinity, covering all space, and the other threads began to unconsciously fall into alignment. Had it been a brand new sensation, Aysus may have folded to it, released the threads and allowed them to return to the randomness. But it was not as new as it had been moments before. Ultimately, though, it was the knowledge that this second act of creation was true to what had already been created that kept Aysus holding the threads, keeping them in place near the light while Tahaan gathered more, pulling them in towards the light.<br/><br/>And then they began to press, pushing the threads in towards the light. In creating the light, the two consciousnesses had pressed the two opposing forces of the universe so close together that they could no longer be separated. Now, however, they were drawing together the uncreated opposition of the light, forcing it to establish itself before the light was destroyed. And, once more, under the weight of the two, reality folded, and something new was born.<br/><br/>And with that birth came the death of nothing. It wasn't a loud death, or a violent death. That might almost have done it some justice. It was simply a cessation, a giving-up. There was no more nothing. For there was brightness, and then there was dimness. And those two truths filled the universe, and left no room for nothing.<br/><br/><i>~Yes,~</i>Aysus agreed.<i>~Two things. They are complete.~</i><br/><br/>Aysus moved away from the light, watching as the darkness slowly enveloped its own form. The threads shivered around it, briefly drawing in closer before dispersing as Aysus passed. They had returned to their chaotic randomness, even among the order of the darkness. The universe had accepted the newness, had learned to adapt its own natural rhythms and patterns to the change. It was not wrong, what they had made, even if it was new. Still Aysus waited, calmly observing, trying to fully understand this thing that it and Tahaan had done."

Everything around it has changed and as it moves, it's spacial sense changes. No longer does it feel that there is infinity around it. There still is, the space never ending, but the brightness and the dimness make it seem a bit more limiting. As it moves away from the brightness Tahaan notices even more dimness, the gray turning to black as eventually the brightness is so far away it no longer sheds any of itself on Tahaan's writhing form.<br/><br/>Turning, it can still see the light, there being nothing to keep it from doing so, but it's body is now as black as the dimness they created and it becomes almost indistinguishable from what they created. The only part of it that breaks through to reveal it is not simply another part of brightness's opposition are the faint sparkles of positive energy that flash here and there in it's mass.<br/><br/><i>~I am. . .Me. I am Tahaan. The dim may look like me, but it is not me.~</i><br/><br/>Tahaan took to talking to itself long ago when it noticed that Aysus liked to be still and was more solitary than itself. The talking helped it to think better, and as it learned more and more about the space around it, the words began to take new meanings. For they are not really words, not as most would understand them. No, the 'speech' of the beings is far more loose and wide than the simple thing that is the vibrations of sound. Being that there is no sound where they are, the idea of things being different is something that comes slowly to Tahaan, but after years of 'speaking' to itself, it's wandering mind continues it's journey as it moves towards the energy that made it.<br/><br/>The threads all around writhe and coil at it's passing, and a few times it reaches out to play with them. However the newness of a the things they made weighs heavily on it. More heavily than anything else ever has. Even that time Aysus and it discovered they even<b>could</b>communicate with one another in some other way besides wriggling around.<br/><br/><i>~At least then, the place around us didn't change. We were still the same, in the same place. Communication was a discovery, not a change in everything.~</i><br/><br/>The energy pulsates, crashing against and pulling away from in an endless, almost monotonous motion. Tahaan watches it for a short time, as it often does when confused or in need of something to look at other than the threads. However soon that too becomes boring and it begins making it's way back towards the brightness. As it tumbles along it passes a close knit mass of threads and pauses.<br/><br/>The dimness falls across them as Tahaan passes between the two things and it begins to wonder, getting an idea. Moving closer to the brightness it stays on the opposite side of it from Aysus so it can stay alone if it wants to, and slowly it brings the threads together side by side. The weaving is not something it's use to, but after watching Aysus do it a few times making it's beautiful intricate webs it likes sitting on, eventually it gets a nice near solid weave of threads to work with.<br/><br/>Passing between the threads and the brightness it once more casts the dimness on to them but this time it can distinguish it's shape against the threads. Each move it makes changes the shape of the dimness. With some excited bouncing it begins changing it different mass formations, the game being rather fun to see what the dimness will look like. Tahaan can never actually see all of itself at any given time, so the ability to at least get the basic idea of it's form fascinates the being for some time."

It was not inclined to rush something as drastic and shifting as the weaving of the threads, and to its great pleasure Tahaan understood that enough to leave it be and give it exactly what it needed; space and stillness.<br/><br/>To begin this change, this process of acceptance, Aysus first looked to the darkness. The threads that they had used to weave the darkness into being still existed, even if their ordered and bound structure was different from the roving chaos of the rest of the threads. Neither did the threads of dimness relate to it the way the free threads did. While they continued to gather around it, creating ripples and waves about his movement, the woven threads remained stationary. It plucked one tentatively, and watched the hum of the line quickly become swallowed. It then plucked a roving, wandering thread. That hum raced away quickly, sparking more and more hums around it.<br/><br/>There was no doubt that the darkness was far more stable than the rest of the threads. It was what it was, bound to itself and the brightness. Within that bonding of two unlike things it had found a measure of stability. It was complete, in more ways than Aysus could have known when it said that to Tahaan.<br/><br/>Aysus was not usually the destructive type. It was content to leave things be, to let them exist and explore on their own. Its tamperings with the threads had always been minor before this moment, brought about more by Tahaan’s exploits than any desire of its own. But now it gathered a handful of the threads of shade, and, hesitating only for a moment, it ripped them apart.<br/><br/>For a moment, in the space between the ripped ends, there was nothing again. Sweet, beautiful, familiar nothing. Aysus released the ends, a shiver running through its silken folds as it stared at the space between. But the ends of the threads were wriggling again, finding each other, bonding back up. And the nothingness was gone again. Darkness reigned supreme.<br/><br/>Not only were the dark and the light complete, but they were stable. There was no doubt that Aysus could affect it on a small scale, but it was no longer certain, even if it wanted to, that it could destroy the dimness and the brightness and return the universe to nothing.<br/><br/>On the far side of the brightness Aysus saw Tahaan draw closer. It partner was there, ready, whenever Aysus completed its thoughts. For a moment Aysus watched the escapades of its partner, and let its attention wander completely. It shivered lightly, happily, before returning to stillness and turning its attention back to the darkness.<br/><br/>Its exploration of the darkness complete, its understanding as near to perfect as it was possible to get, Aysus turned its attention inward, to Aysus. There was a collecting, and inhalation of self, and Aysus settled down to wait until it understood exactly how it related to this new universe.<br/><br/>In many ways there was no change. The universe still tugged at it, creating the faintest hints of movement within its stillness. The loose threads still gathered around it, swirling and eddying in the cosmic tides of energy from which they had both been born.<br/><br/>It wasn’t until it gradually began to move closer to the light that Aysus understood exactly from where its sense of imbalance had been coming. For all of its existence, Aysus had known it was the center of the universe. It could feel it constantly. Everything spiraled out from its location. Everything was oriented around it. This was no vain fancy, but a conscious realization.<br/><br/>But that was gone now. Some of the threads had a new orientation. They grew out in infinite rays from that one point of brightness. It had become the center of the universe. And Aysus did not like the change.<br/><br/>It sat there, staring at the pattern of the light, and slowly it began to gather the threads of the darkness and some of the loose threads together. It understood the darkness, now it was time to better understand the lightness. Slowly Aysus began to weave, following the pattern of the brightness. Now that it existed, now that it was a part of the universe, it was not necessary for both it and Tahaan to come together in its creation. The light was a wild point of chaos, and even if Aysus had led in its creation, its trueness had been granted by Tahaan’s chaos. But some of that chaos rested within Aysus as well. If it was not for that, there was no telling whether or not “Aysus” would even exist. And therefore it could recreate the light.<br/><br/>There was a brief rejection of the change, but suddenly it came to be. There was a moment of bonding, and another point of brightness came to be. The dimness that already existed reoriented itself, bonding to this second brightness as it had bonded to the first.<br/><br/>And then Aysus understood, and it was a relief. The brightness was not the center of the universe, for the center could only be at one point. The change that had so unbalanced Aysus was the fact that the universe no longer had a center. It was simply an infinite space of unfulfilled potential.<br/><br/>Aysus moved towards the first brightness, where Tahaan still played with the brightness and darkness. It moved between Tahaan and the brightness, creating another wave of shadow on the threads.<br/><br/><i>~I’m ready,~</i>Aysus told Tahaan, a shiver of excitement passing through it."

The sight makes it whirl around quickly. As it does this a thought occurs to it. It stills a bit as it begins thinking. It once more feels the need for something. It doesn't quite know what yet, and it isn't as if it feels as if something is out of balance like before, but it still feels. . .There should be something. Something that marks action, movement. When it is happy, it wants that to spread. Even if it is alone, it feels that things need something to go with them.<br/><br/><i>~Expression. I can communicate with Aysus, but I want more.~</i><br/><br/>It's body slowly stops shifting and for once it falls still. Despite it's stillness, by it's nature it's form still moves, drifting to the side as if drawn by the new creations around it. A part of it brushes over some threads and it's attention goes to the sudden ripples created by the soft touch. The ripples of the unused threads shivers off, disappearing into the distance and once more Tahaan turn in on itself to think.<br/><br/><i>~It would be great if the shaking did something. The shivers of the threads, created by something other than us playing with them.~</i><br/><br/>It again thinks of the source of the threads, the energy they came from the birth that was marked by. . . .Nothing. However Nothing is no longer good enough for Tahaan. There needs to be something. What good is a big happening when there is nothing to mark it. Somethings are just to important to go without some sort of. . .<br/><br/>Tahaan tries desperately to come up with just what is needed and once again it's body brushes over the threads. This time it is threads of the light. It watches as they seem to just keep shaking, shivering around until at last the settle slowly against one another, firm and stable. It is with that that it's thoughts shift to the other side of matters. Should there not be something to mark when there is nothing happening too? That thought seems to resonate though it's form with more understanding.<br/><br/>For a time it wonders why. After all, it is always doing something. The thing it feels it needs to have to mark happenings would make more sense to be more familiar or interesting to it. However as it spots Aysus on the other side of the light it slowly downs on Tahaan why it's thinking about the lack of happenings. It has lived it's existence in this place, making for it what fun it has, with only itself to play with most of the time. However, the one thing it gets to interact with that it has no control over, the one thing that stimulates it in a way that is different, is Aysus itself.<br/><br/><i>~It is always so still, and without movement. It well represents the opposite of what I am thinking of. It sacrificed everything true and familiar for this new thing. It would shiver for me even when it would rather remain still.~</i><br/><br/>A gentle feeling races through it as once more Tahaan races over to it's wall of threads, it's form once more on display. It shivers, shakes, thrumming it's body against the threads as it wonders if it's idea will ever come to be. If it will be able to make something that will make Aysus as happy as it is when the other gives up it's stillness for it. It has long tried to remain still for Aysus, but it does not have such control over it's form. However if it's thoughts are correct, perhaps it will make something special for Aysus. With Aysus's help of course.<br/><br/>In it's excitement it almost misses the creation of the second spot of light. However as the threads around it shiver and shake, the dimness racing past it in a small wave, it turns to watch the light being born. It becomes even more excited.<br/><br/><i>~It was a change. Aysus made a change itself. It made something and it used what we had made together. That looks fun!~</i><br/><br/>It whirls around happily, shaking with joy as Aysus approaches. It sees the shivers in the other's form and lets out a small shake of it's own.<br/><br/><i>~I want to make you something.~</i><br/><br/>Now directing it words to Aysus it moves backwards, past the little weave it made for the game with shadows. Pushing past some threads it settle in a spot and begins tugging gently on thread after thread. It does not weave them together, it simply lays them side by side. Once it has what it thinks it will need, row after row drifting side by side in more or less strait lines, Tahaan slows it's movements as best it can.<br/><br/><i>~Take the other ends Aysus, and move away from me without tearing the threads. As far as you can go.~</i><br/><br/>It watches as the other complies, the threads slowly growing more and more taunt with the strain of being pulled between the two beings. As it begins to strain it's body falls more and more still, the light shivers running through it, and subsequently the threads, slowly begins to fade. The riling cloud stretches out further and further to either side, and as it takes up more threads to add to the already long row of them is it please to see that Aysus follows it's lead without question.<br/><br/>Then it happens. For a split second, both figures are completely still. For the only time in it's existence, Tahaan does not move in the slightest. In that instant the threads fuse and vanish. A ripple runs through the universe, and Tahaan comes to understand what it was trying to make. The lack of shaking, the complete stillness of it all, it becomes. . .<br/><br/><i>~Silence.~</i><br/><br/>It can feel the imbalance of what was made, but it races to Aysus's side quickly and whirls around it once.<br/><br/><i>~Now there is something special when you are still. When nothing moves, when nothing shakes, there is silence!~</i><br/><br/>As if to demonstrate this it moves away from the other, letting it feel the new thing without Tahaan disturbing it."

It had always known the internal silence, the peace of mind and body that led to stillness, but seeing something so basic to itself spread across the whole universe was more wondrous than Aysus could fully understand at the moment. It would need room and peace to fully comprehend the silence, just as it had for the brightness and the darkness.<br/><br/>But the imbalance loomed, and as grateful as Aysus was for Tahaan's willingness to leave Aysus to its own peaceful explorations, now was not the moment for it.<br/><br/><i>~Come back.~</i>Aysus called after its retreating partner.<i>~We must balance the imbalance, before it crumbles away into nothingness once more.~</i><br/><br/>It was surprisingly easy, at that moment, for Aysus to find the imbalance. In many ways it was just like the darkness and brightness. There was a leftover from the creation, something that swarmed in among the threads of silence, bouncing back and forth in a desperate desire to escape from this new thing in the universe. It was another opposite, another thing that would come together with the silence and create stability. Despite its former anxiety about the existence of the brightness and the dimness in a universe that had only known nothing, Aysus did not hesitate in the creation of the inverse. Aysus was far more a creature of consistency than Tahaan, and rapid change had always bothered it. But that did not mean that Aysus could not adjust. This was the new universe, and if change was to be the constant, so be it.<br/><br/><i>~Help me gather that which remains.~</i>Rapidly, Tahaan began to circle around Aysus, pulling the broken pieces of silence in towards its partner. Aysus gathered the reluctant threads, using all of its magnetic pull to keep the writhing things together. This time there was a weaving, a giant jumbling and twisting that was almost the exact opposite of the linear balance of the silence. Tighter and tighter Aysus wove the bundle, even as Tahaan continued to bring in more of the unbalanced threads. Finally there were none left across the span of the universe, and they were close to completion.<br/><br/><i>~Link them.~</i>The instruction was very simple for such a complicated process, but Aysus need have said nothing at all. It and Tahaan understood each other well enough to know what needed to be done. The woven bundle began to get wrapped in the silence, and the threads began to work against themselves, pushing in further and further to try and escape its opposite. But, surrounded on all sides by the threads of silence, the only thing it could do was get smaller.<br/><br/>And then it was gone, woven perfectly into the blanket of silence.<br/><br/>For a moment it seemed as though nothing had happened. But they both knew that the imbalance was gone. Whatever they had made, it was complete, whole, unified. And then Tahaan began to writhe about once more, and the threads began to vibrate, and there was an answer in the universe.<br/><br/>It was not much. It was hardly even worthy of being noticed, so little was it. But it was there. As Tahaan moved, the thing for which it had originally longed responded. There was a noise to answer its movement.<br/><br/>Aysus stirred slightly, and its movement was also answered by a noise, a faint rustling that seemed to mirror its own internal motion.<br/><br/><i>~It is beautiful.~</i><br/><br/>Aysus wasn't talking about the noise, although that was in part what it was recognizing. No, what it was experiencing was the perfect balance of two. Aysus and Tahaan, light and dark, noise and silence. And, even more importantly if anything, the way that the two essences related to the opposites. Light and noise were both points, things that interrupted the continuity of the universe. They were chaotic and caused constant change within the universe. And they had both been the creations that Aysus led. Darkness and silence were the constants, the things that remained when there was nothing to interrupt them. They peacefully filled the universe with a something that was almost like nothing. And those were the ones that Tahaan had felt within itself, and led into being.<br/><br/>How was it that both of them were far more capable of understanding each other than they were at understanding themselves? To a logical observer it would have seemed backwards, and yet there was no denying the truth of it, just as there was no denying the existences of these new things.<br/><br/>At that moment, Aysus began to realize something consciously that it had always known subconsciously. It and Tahaan were as completely linked as the brightness and the dimness, the noise and the silence. Despite the fact that they were not the same, they were complete with each other.<br/><br/>Fondness for its partner welled up within Aysus, and it rubbed up against the threads, the movement creating a humming sound. It now had a new way to greet its companion."

We'll fix it, then you can play with the new thing.~</i><br/><br/>It works hard and fast, doing as instructed, in ways that feel only natural to it. Tahaan drags them in, and Aysus holds them. The threads try to flee, but the cloud has a lot of practice fiddling with loose broken threads and not a one manages to escape it's hunt for them. Pulled in tight, held in by the thing they made, the present for Aysus, growing smaller and smaller until. . .They are gone.<br/><br/>Tahaan wonders just what was made and looks around this way and that. Then it stills. There was something. In a sudden inspiration it begins wriggling and writhing about, and it hears it. That thing it had longed for, the thing to mark when something happens.<br/><br/><i>~Noise, it's noise, I can hear it!~</i><br/><br/>The glee coming from the cloud shaped figure is evident as it begins playing more and more with this new thing. The sound is quiet, barely above the silence, but as it plays it gets more and more idea of things to do with it. It nearly shivers apart when Aysus makes noise using the threads, recognizing it as a greeting, and replies by falling as still as it can, the noise giving way to silence. It loves this new thing, this thing Aysus helped it make, and with one last whirl around it's counterpart Tahaan races off to enjoy this new thing they now know as sound, leaving Aysus to do what it will, coming to terms with the new things.<br/><br/>It races along, full tilt, the light and dark giving it's travel a far stronger sense of speed, along with the faint crackling and hissing of it's body as it whips around and strums it's body along the threads. Moving far enough away as to not vibrate any of the threads near to it's counterpart, Tahaan behind playing with the new thing called sound. It begins by simply playing with the threads, thrumming them all at once, or plucking one at a time. The actions produce the same noise, but the input is far greater when more than one is struck.<br/><br/>On a whim it tears one thread and shivers delightfully as a new noise issues from the thread. Setting it aside it does that a few more times until it understands the noise completely, then in a flash, it rips apart an entire group of threads.<br/><br/><i>~The noise is louder the more of them I tear. That makes sense. It is a bigger happening, so it is marked by a bigger noise!~</i><br/><br/>An idea comes to it and after a little fumbling, it weaves together a small light. To it's supreme delight, a new sound marks the occasion, a kind of 'pop' that sounds very different from the noises it cam make with threads. As is it's way, it makes several others, making them bigger and smaller, seeing how that affects the sound, and then just like that, it shatters a light, just to see what happens. The sound is far louder than anything it had heard before and in truth, it becomes frightened of it.<br/><br/>Unable to come to terms with the fear on it's own it races off to Aysus as fast as it can. It ignores the sounds it's being makes as it races through their space, and as soon as Aysus comes into view it speeds up. Without warning it wraps around it's counterpart, shaking differently than usual and it seems to be trying to hid itself. It finds comfort being so close to it's opposite, and it has often wondered at this fact, however now it is simply happy for the comfort.<br/><br/><i>~Sorry. I frightened myself. . .~</i><br/><br/>Unsure of how Aysus if going to react to the sudden intrusion into personal space, it tries it's best to not disturb it too much even as it remains partially wrapped around Aysus' body."

They were different enough to know when it was right to give each other space, and they both knew that they would always, ultimately, come back to each other. They were the only things in this void other than themselves. And they belonged together. Such was the nature of their existence.<br/><br/>In many ways, the silence was very similar to the nothingness. It was certainly much closer to the nothingness than the noise. The threads of silence wove together with perfect intricacy into the darkness, and together they grew even closer to the nothingness that had once been their home. And still the unclaimed threads of the universe danced among the woven ones, seeming hardly any different from how they were before when they were all.<br/><br/>Aysus hummed slightly, and this time a faint, sweet noise greeted it as it did so. Moments after it stopped the threads of silence moved back in, knitted almost perfectly into the threads of noise that, just by looking at the threads, it was almost impossible to tell shere one ended and the other began. But there was no doubt that the silence and the noise were two very, very different things.<br/><br/>Their union intrigued Aysus, and for a while it carefully studied it, making faint noises whenever the silence once more began to have complete dominance over the area around it.<br/><br/>That patient contemplation was interrupted suddenly by a noise. By the time it reached Aysus it was not much louder than the noises it had made itself, but it must have been much, much more massive at one point, because it had not happened here.<br/><br/>Aysus almost turned back to the threads, hardly bothered by the noise as it was making noise itself, when it saw something dark hurtling towards itself so fast that it was little more than a blur.<br/><br/>Aysus nearly ducked out of the way, no longer confident in what this universe might hold, when it recognized Tahaan. It didn’t have time for another thought before the cloud wrapped around him, huddling in close and shaking violently.<br/><br/>It was not exactly the most comfortable situation in which Aysus had ever been, but it was not about to push the frightened Tahaan away either.<br/><br/><i>~What did you do?~</i>There was a strange mixture of resignation, exasperation, and amusement in Aysus’ tone."

It draws back, only a small bit of itself still touching Aysus. It wriggles this way and that, making little noises for a while until it is relaxed enough to reply.<br/><br/><i>~I was making things, and breaking things, discovering new sounds, and making them too! But then I broke a light, and it made a really loud noise. . .The noise, it frightened me. I know I made it, and should not be so afraid, but I could not help it. . .~</i><br/><br/>It finally manages to slither away from the other being, letting go so it can wander this way and that. Suddenly excited it pulls forward some threads and begins showing off what it's learned.<br/><br/><i>~See, if you tighten them then pull at them, the noise is new. Oh, and listen!~</i><br/><br/>In a whirls of it's body it brings forth a line of lights, no longer frightened at all now that it's counterpart is nearby. The faint pop sound makes it shiver and shake, bouncing around happily. Suddenly it realizes it's making a lot of noise, and Aysus may not like that, so with one last bounce it settle back into the threads, the small twitches of it's form only causes noise every so often. Reaching out with a thin strip of itself it touches one of the lights.<br/><br/><i>~If you would like to see, to hear, the really loud noise, just break one.~</i><br/><br/>It slithers back and forth, wanting to see what Aysus will do even as it longs to race once more off into the newness to see what else it can do. The nothing around seems so vast, but now it knows it has an end. It gets quickly lost in thought, drifting slowly away from the other and it's antics. It's desire to see what Aysus will do drifts quickly away as well as once more it feels a need building. A want for something a need for. . .<br/><br/>It looks to the space between all the things it now knows, the threads, the light, the dark. Sound and silence being less tangible but still visible to the being, but beneath it all is the faint energies created by everything else, the energy the everything that makes up the nothing is made of.<br/><br/><i>~Even as there is nothing, there isn't really nothing, seeing as I see things between, even if I see it as nothing, that is only because I have grown so use to it all~</i><br/><br/>It shivers back and forth in thought, musing about things until a new thought strikes it.<br/><br/><i>~We only call it nothing, because there is an absences of the only something we know, or at the time, knew, of, which was the threads. But now, as I look at it, I think there is more to this. More to nothing. Along with us, the threads were made, and the stuff between it is nothing, but even as a nothing, it seems that it needs to be. . .~</i><br/><br/>Unsure of just what it is thinking it moves back closer to Aysus, though still lost in thought, it's words can be sensed by the other without it knowing that it is “Speaking aloud” as one would say.<br/><br/><i>~It is the space between that gives the thread definition, and without it, the universe about us would be without definition. It would be very one sided, and as we have learned, there needs be two sides to something.~</i><br/><br/>Turning to Aysus it at last directs it's words to the ribbon being.<br/><br/><i>~I think, it is time for something. Something different.~</i><br/><br/>It reaches out to “Touch” the light once more, the energy “Feeling” different from the threads, but still lacking something. Something Tahaan can not fully understand at this time, but as it once more looks to the threads and the space between them, he gets an idea.<br/><br/><i>~We should make something like it! Like the threads and the nothingness. That is what I want.~</i><br/><br/>Twisting this way and that, it draws Aysus forward, pulling it out away from the things they have made. It has no idea how it and Aysus are going to make what he has just decided to make, however he knows, deep down, that it's going to take more energy than they are use to using.<br/><br/><i>~I think we will need to tap the energy directly for this. I am not sure, but think so. . .~</i><br/><br/>Drawing up to the riling mass of energy it slows, moving away from Aysus to try and understand why it feels the need for the central mass of energy for this next creation. It looks around intently, not getting too close, but not shying away at the noises it's making. As long as it's counterpart is around, Tahaan is as brave as could be. Finally it understands what it needs to do. What they need to do. Moving back to Aysus's side it hovers as still as possible before the other.<br/><br/><i>~We need to make both at once. We need to make them separate, but equal. I do not think one at a time will work this time. I. . .I do not know why, but this is what I hear inside me as the truth.~</i><br/><br/>It hesitates for a moment, unsure of itself, however after a moment it continues.<br/><br/><i>~If you are ready, I would like to make something. . .Solid. Something to touch. I know we touch the threads, but the thread is energy, it is. . .It is not solid. It can be formed into things unseen, it can vanish once formed.~</i><br/><br/>It is unsure of how else to explain it's want, but it tries anyways.<br/><br/><i>~We are of energy, or two types of energy, and all around us, there are threads, and there is the space between. I want to make something like that, but different. Something different from ourselves. I wish to make something we can see, at all times. Something that we can touch that is different than the threads.~</i><br/><br/>Not sure it's words are understood it falls silent, writhing a bit before asking.<br/><br/><i>~Do you understand what I mean?~</i>"

Although Aysus could not honestly say that it derived as much pleasure from the actions of the threads as Tahaan did, it could say wholeheartedly that watching the pleasure of Tahaan gave it pleasure.<br/><br/>When Tahaan did finally create the light, Aysus studied it carefully, its own curiosity neatly tempered by its nature. By the time it fully decides that it would be willing to break the light and make a noise for Tahaan’s sake, the being had already wandered away. Aysus stared after its companion, before returning its attention to the light. Should it break it anyways?<br/><br/>No. there was no reason for it now that Tahaan had left. Should the time come up, it would do it again later. When it meant something once more.<br/><br/>And so Aysus returned to its own existence, as a being discovering reality through patient contemplation. It had not discovered as much about the noise and the silence as Tahaan, and it prepared to resume its contemplation.<br/><br/>But, before Aysus could be satisfied that it truly understood the noise and the silence Tahaan was back. Aysus listened patiently to its communications, and realized that Tahaan had already moved away from that which was, and was once more looking to that which could be. A small shiver passed through Aysys, sending its silken fold fluttering.<br/><br/>It was not sure it was ready. But Tahaan was ready. And it had already accepted that change was to be the only thing that remained constant in this new universe that they were experiencing. There was neither time nor room for a comfort zone anymore. Aysus had to release itself, and plunge over the edge. It would never have the same excitement for the unknown that Tahaan possessed, but it could demonstrate more than it was currently showing.<br/><br/>And so it dedicated itself to what Tahaan was saying, trying to understand what its companion wanted from them both.<br/><br/><i>~Perhaps,~</i>Aysus replied, once it was clear that Tahaan was done speaking.<i>~But I did not truly understand the light or the noise or the darkness or the silence until those things were woven into our universe. So I am sure it will be with this new thing of which you speak.~</i><br/><br/>Together the two moved towards one of the wellsprings of the source, one of the infinite number of locations where the threads were released by the source, the energy from which everything had come.<br/><br/>Tahaan swirled around it, continuing to gently prompt Aysus forward. The being did not mind Tahaan’s actions, for its thoughts were almost entirely focused on what was to come.<br/><br/>There was no doubt that this was going to be the largest change that had been attempted, and Aysus could feel the truth of that about which Tahaan spoke. It could not be done one at a time, for the thing which they were trying to create was so incompatible with the universe they had made thus far that it would not be able to survive long enough for them to make its counterpart from the leftover pieces of the threads. But Aysus also knew that neither of them could weave alone. They could create that which already existed alone, but a new creation required both of their input.<br/><br/>Could they truly do this? Aysus had never tried to do two things at once. It was not even sure that such a thing was possible. But, were Tahaan to tell it about the light before the light came to be, it would have thought that impossible as well. Change was not an innate part of its being. It would have to try harder.<br/><br/>The threads that collected around the wellspring were at the densest that they were at any place in the universe. It was easy to gather them together, so easy that it barely took a sweep of Aysus’ folds to bring them together into a massive pile, and the wellspring instantly replaced any open spaces that Aysus made with even more of the threads.<br/><br/>And so it began, uncertain of what exactly it was doing, but hoping that, one way or another, it would all come together. The threads wove easily under its touch, and Tahaan quickly moved in to help. The first part began to take shape. But did they not also have to be doing something with the pieces of thread that sheared away from the weaving, that were opposite in nature and could not remain within the threads that were creating this new thing? They scurried away quickly, so quickly that Aysus practically had to lunge to catch up with them. But in doing so, it was forced to release its hold of the weaving, which began to crumble.<br/><br/>Tahaan, concerned to see its partner scrambling so, desperately tried to help, drawing more and more threads into the weaving to keep it from falling apart as Aysus finally managed to catch the last of the secondary threads, that were to weave the opposite.<br/><br/>But now the weave was bloated, and it quickly became tangled on the new threads Tahaan had put in to keep it together. Suddenly, and seemingly without warning, the whole thing collapsed, the threads and pieces of threads scattering out into the furthest reaches of the universe.<br/><br/>There was a moment of perfect silence, where it seemed that even Tahaan did not move. In that moment Aysus knew, if he spoke the right words, this whole thing would be over. They would continue to explore with the threads, but this strange, perpetual thing they were trying to create now would never come to be.<br/><br/><i>~Lets try again.~</i>"
34107,"This, That, and The Other Thing ~ PopeAlessandros x Jiskastya",IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19169-this-that-and-the-other-thing-popealessandros-x-jiskastya,['1x1'],2014-08-09 11:57:00,PopeAlessandros,"Tahaan twirls with delight at Aysus's willingness to try for what he had come up with, a willingness that he knows will cause him to act against his nature. It feels a little sorry for taking Aysus away from it's long slow contemplations, but not one to pass up opportunities, Tahaan sets right to work. It watches as the ribbony being gathers together threads quickly and easily, darting out when it seems that some thread or another is about to escape, slightly panicky when Aysus itself seems to come under stress.<br/><br/><i>~Perhaps too much, too fast~</i><br/><br/>It thinks to itself, unsure if they should continue with as fast as things seems to be falling apart. However as all things fall apart around them, and a stillness falls over the scene, a new thought comes to it. Slowly it begins to shift this way and that, ready to stop for now, to try again much later when Aysus is more ready. However, Aysus is ready now. Prepared to try again. It writhes, curling about, watching the still folds of it's partner ripple ever so gently here and there, the stillness and the motion seeming perfectly in synch. Looking to it's own form, writhing, riling, twisting and bending, only the occasional part of it pausing for an instant, no longer.<br/><br/>With a bounce it coils around Aysus and urges it into a place right next to the wellspring. As it shifts around, it tries to explain.<br/><br/><i>~You are still, that is what you do. I move, I shift, it is my nature.~</i><br/><br/>It bounces almost as if making it's point.<br/><br/><i>~You are still, so you should be still. Let me move.~</i><br/><br/>With that it slowly grabs a few threads, pulling them away from the wellspring. They are immediately replaced. With one slow motion Tahaan drifts past it's counterpart and hands off the threads to be woven, It drifts past to the other side, grabbing a few more threads, turning smoothly and slowly so that it can once more hand them off. By now some of the opposing threads are trying to escape, however rather than darting after them, Tahaan moves to them smoothly, grabbing them just as they threaten to move out of reach, and immediately returns them to Aysus for weaving, repeating the same on the other side.<br/><br/>Muck like a loom they continue this pattern, instead of bursting these things into creation that way they has grown accustom to, instead they work slow, and diligent, the repetitive actions threatening to bore Tahaan, however the prospect of what may come of this by far enough to make up for any boredom he may be feeling now. The weaving takes a long time to complete, thought time has as of yet to have any point of reference, the two are aware of such even without it existing. The threads around and beneath Aysus grow thicker and stronger, the weave becoming more and more beautiful as they work. Tahaan suppresses the urge to dart about in delight, the end in sight, ti can just feel it.<br/><br/>Aysus seems to feel it too, the weaving around it seeming more and more complete, and then at last, it is done. A wave passes out from the two of them as as last Tahaan pulls in the last threads needed, Aysus weaving them quickly into the tapestry of their creation. For the first time in their existence, they feel weary, the work put into their creation having drained them considerably. Like a huge gently waves the weave rolls out, and for the first time, there are limits places upon their universe. It is far, far away, but their wave only goes so far as there are wellsprings, which until now, they thought without end. The weave vanishes, but the result remains.<br/><br/>Looking about they can see it, the bits of matter, so small and without form, drifting along in the spaces between, floating about in it's opposite, space, the area between. The matter moves smoothly, in perfect balance with it's opposite, and when two pieces of matter touch, they seem to interact and move on. Tahaan shivers, feeling the stuff brushing over it, completely free of either their will, or the will of the thing that brought them forth into this place. Unlike the threads, they seem to have no order, while at the same time, each little bit of matter having an order all their own, the space in between constant, and unchanging, only moving aside when a bit of matter wishes to pass, slipping back into place once it is gone. The matter is so small at this point that to anything less than Tahaan and Aysus themselves would not be able to feel it the way they do.<br/><br/>Unsure if Aysus will want time to itself once more, for it's never ending contemplation, or if it would rather stick together due to feeling so weak, Tahaan hovers, shifting ever so slightly against their new creation, but remaining silent as it can. The tingle of stuff against it's body, and the sound of it striking the still present threads is enough for now. It is enough to keep Tahaan amused, even if it wants nothing more at this point than to curl up with Aysus and relax, regain it's strength through the bond."

It rolled faintly to the side, moving away from the wellspring, but paused almost immediately as the infinitesimal pieces of matter that now scattered the universe touched it. Aysus seemed to draw in on itself, almost reflexively, before the weave of matter began to move. The pieces of matter skirted away from it, and even though space was not the same as nothing, it was, like darkness and silence, the closest to nothing of which Aysus knew.<br/><br/>Slowly it moved further and further away from the wellspring, and the number of threads around it began to fall back to a normal number. The matter moved aside in front of it, and came back together behind it. Only once it had reached a familiar and comfortable level of threads did Aysus settle to a stop and try and relax. But its own need to keep the matter from coming in close and continually bumping and brushing against its self kept Aysus from truly obtaining peace. That was, at least, until Tahaan moved in around it, swirling quickly in the gap between Aysus and the matter, instinctively understanding what its counterpart needed at that moment. Tahaan's actions kept the pieces of matter from touching Aysus, and left it with nothing but space. Then Aysus was able to truly relax, and it settled into itself, exhausted, unnerved, unbalanced, but still ultimately ready to face the constant challenge of the notion of change.<br/><br/>Gradually, as Aysus relaxed, the equally weary Tahaan began to move in closer to its counterpart. They settled into each other's presence, and assumed the closest thing to sleep that either of them had ever known. And so they drifted, Tahaan swirling lazily around Aysus, who floated in its bubble of space.<br/><br/>Aysus returned to presence second, and instantly noticed the restlessness of its companion. It shivered slightly in thanks, truly grateful to Tahaan for creating a space of relative safety and familiarity even as its own instincts drove it to go play, and explore this new world that they had created together.<br/><br/><i>~You can go now. Thank you.~</i>Aysus murmured gently, freeing its companion to exploration. Despite their affinity for each other, they were, in the end, different beings, and they each had to explore this new reality in their own way.<br/><br/>As soon as Tahaan left, the matter began to move back in. Aysus tried to ignore it, tried to pretend that it didn't care about the things that were constantly bumping up against itself, but it could only hold that pretense for so long before it forced the matter to once more scatter away from it by forcefully tugging on the weave of space and matter. Once more it was left with a bubble of space, and the shivering of its form wherever a piece of matter touched it quickly faded away.<br/><br/>This was so very different from the light and the noise, because there was no way for Aysus to escape it. Tiny pieces of matter spiraled away into the edge of infinity, as omnipresent as the threads themselves. The lights that Aysus and Tahaan had made were somewhere in the distance, concealed by the threads of dimness, but there was nothing Aysus could use to conceal the matter.<br/><br/>It knew it had to find a way to adjust, to understand, to accept. It had thought it accepted back before it had been done, because it had understood that they had been making something it had never experienced before, but the space between the idea of different and the reality of different was far greater than Aysus would have imagined.<br/><br/>Slowly it began to draw the matter closer to itself, and even though it was hesitant about the action it was also very deliberate. This time, when the matter ran into itself, Aysus did not allow it to scatter back out and away. I theld them together, bonded the little pieces until the little piece became a slightly bigger piece, and bonded those slightly bigger pieces together as well.<br/><br/>Aysus did not know exactly what it was doing. Aysus was a creature of contemplation, not of experimentation. But there seemed to be no other option for this strange new thing that was matter, and Aysus could not help but hope that, if it experimented enough, it might be able to find something that it could understand.<br/><br/>Slowly the pieces of matter began to grow and grow, until it had a piece large enough that it could watch it slide through the universe, a wrecking ball that knocked all other pieces aside. And it was, at that moment, that Aysus realized something truly astonishing. The matter was still.<br/><br/>It was not that it did not move through space; it most certainly did that. But the matter itself did not move. The pieces that were in the center stayed in the center, the pieces that were at the edge stayed at the edge. Despite being new and chaotic, the matter was the most still thing that Aysus had ever truly experienced. It drew closer to it, and reached out to it hesitantly. This time, no shiver coursed through its body, because it felt the strange, foreign likeness of the thing before it. Matter was not a foe, not something to be escaped or destroyed, but a like thing, something about which Aysus could truly understand. They were two things, floating through vast infinity, trying to find the stillness of a constantly moving and shifting world.<br/><br/>Slowly the matter that Aysus had been holding back, holding away, began to drift freely again. This time, Aysus drifted with the pieces, no longer bothered by their brief, flitting contact. This time, somehow, it felt comfortable."

Through their bond it can feel how much this new thing is disturbing the other, the tension and unsettling presence around it coming across loud and clear. For an instant, it feels bad about it's suggestion. This new thing they made, it seems to be the worst change yet for Aysus, and it's all it's fault. It's countenance begins to droop as it follows along, but only for a brief movement, until Aysus settles and Tahaan can not refrain from doing something for it's uncomfortable partner.<br/><br/>Moving in quickly it swirls around the ribbon bring, knocking back all the matter before settling in to form a bubble around Aysus. This effectively keeps the matter away, keeps it from touching Aysus against it's will, and finally it seems to settle. Tahaan keeps moving, slipping in closer and closer until it can relax comfortably into their bond and rest, while still keeping the little bits from touching Aysus. A kind of sigh ripples through the cloud as it calms, the feeling of it's energy returning bit by bit relaxing it even further, and it's contentment with the universe around them giving it such a feeling of peace.<br/><br/>It's not too long however before Tahaan “wakes” from their peaceful drifting, the respite welcome, but not by it's nature something it likes doing for long. The lazy movements around Aysus speeds up, still determined to keep it's counterpart comfortable, however the occasional poking out of it's body like a tentacle swinging through space to play with the matter is added to it's swirling motion. When at last Aysus wakes, letting it know that it's counterpart if free to explore, Tahaan swirls in tight around Aysus once before darting off through the matter like a child running into the oncoming waves. And much like waves, the little bits seem to crash into it's body, rushing around it and settling only after they come down from the wake it's body caused.<br/><br/>It contents itself this way for a time, swirling quickly this way and that, making interesting patters in the matter, mini tornadoes and plumes. So overjoyed it moves off a little further than it intended from it's other half. In the past, it could go as far as it liked from Aysus without feeling more than a dozen paces away. However, with this new thing between them, this mass, this. . . .something. It pauses, shivering, the distance feeling unpleasant. Drifting a little closer to Aysus, still out of sight to give it it's space, it begins wondering.<br/><br/><i>~Does it feel the distance too? Does it care? Does it feel more comfortable now that I can move so far that the stuff between us allows it some semblance of being truly alone?~</i><br/><br/>It's thoughts disturb it greatly and on instinct it moves even closer, settling in to play more quietly with the new creation. Grabbing random pieces it began mashing them together, noting happily that when put together, it stayed together, and exactly how it was put together. Other than floating through space, the matter is the most stable thing they have created yet. It is delighted at this, hoping strongly that Aysus will be able to find it's comfort in this fact.<br/><br/>It spends time putting more pieces together, the ungainly mass growing into a rather disjointed ball rolling around in the space. After noting that the ball moves slower than the individual bits, through his natural evolution Tahaan does the next thing on his list of experiments. With a clap of it's body it blows apart the bits. It swirls delightedly at the new design in the matter, the bits crashing against one another, the direction of them floating shifting out of the way of the sudden expansion of motion.<br/><br/><i>~That was fun. It was like a mini version of me when I crash about!~</i><br/><br/>It does this a few more times before moving on to the next natural step, at least for Tahaan. Plucking up a single individual piece it begins bombarding it with energy, trying to change it. It does not change, however it does<b>seem</b>different for a moment before the energy dissipates. Wanting to know more it tries to crack open the bit, to look inside. The result is not only unexpected, but a little disastrous. The instant it manages to break open the bit there is an almighty explosion, the amount of energy stored within the little bit comparable to all the energy Tahaan and Aysus hold combined. It cries out, the blast blowing it quite aways with the rest of the matter around the explosion tumbling through the space with it.<br/><br/>Through happenstance, when at last it comes to rest, no longer being propelled by the explosion, it finds itself not a handful of paces from it's counterpart. Pulling itself together carefully, unhurt and undamaged by the sudden tumble, it looks over at Aysus and with a completely serious tone it says,<br/><br/><i>~Don't try and open a singular bit of matter. The result is unpleasant.~</i><br/><br/>At last it's fear catches up with it and without warning it wraps around Aysus and begins trembling."

Or, rather, Tahaan's actions. It was struck by a sudden ricochet of energy, that flooded over it and even succeeded in pushing Aysus away with its energy. Aysus shuddered in irritation and surprise, wondering what exactly Tahaan had managed to get itself into this time.<br/><br/>Its question was answered moments later by Tahaan's sudden and rather abrupt arrival from somewhere else, and told it what exactly had just happened.<br/><br/><i>~I was not planning on doing any such thing.~</i>Aysus responded to the shivering Tahaan, its voice tinged with the faintest traces of amusement. But it leaves its moderate rebuke just at that, and accepts its fearful companion with gentle vibrations of its own. At least, Aysus comforted itself, Tahaan would never change. Its explorations would always lead it further than it should go, and it would always come back to Aysus when such an event occurred.As ever, they were, and always would be, the only things in this universe on which they could rely. Everything else was uncertain, but they would always be together, and would always be bound, despite their oppositions. And it was, perhaps, these very oppositions which made them so compatible for each other.<br/><br/>For a while they were both silent, content to be in each other's presence and needing nothing more. But Tahaan's fear began to subside, just as it always did, and Aysus could feel the desire for new exploration and experience building within it once more. Aysus did not want to crush Tahaan's adventurous spirit, but it was weary of new things. Not physically weary, that had faded shortly before it and Tahaan had separated, but weary in its being of being forced into new things, and constantly having to adapt to the new universe, just when it was starting to become comfortable with the last thing they had done.<br/><br/><i>~Are we done with the new things? At least for now?~</i>"

It sits quietly for a time, trying to calm down. It doesn't take long, Aysus' presence enough to dispel most of his fear rather quickly When at last it feels relaxed enough it slips away, giving Aysus it's space. At it's question however it moves back in and still best it can.<br/><br/><i>~There is plenty to play with and explore. We can stop for now.~</i><br/><br/>Almost as if not wanting to be unsupervised it moves away only a few body lengths before toying once again with the matter. The pieces it made before, the big ones made from a bunch of little ones, are nowhere to be see, and true to it's nature it simply dismisses them and goes about with new exploration. Once more it picks up little bits and begins bombarding them with energy until they feel like they've changed, however just like before the energy dissipated swiftly and Tahaan is left with just a bunch of plain bit. Unable to think of anything else it begins sticking them together again, but this time it pushes at them bit by bit, changing them from a chunky mass into something a little smoother.<br/><br/><i>~Neat!~</i><br/><br/>Looking over at Aysus it waits until it seems like it's not busy before drifting over to show off what is has learned.<br/><br/>~*~*~*~*~<br/><br/>The force of the explosion had indeed blown the larger chunks of matter stuck together out of sight, breaking them apart a tad, but several larger particles held together rather well. Now they tumble freely, bouncing off their smaller counterparts, the energy from the blast having not only propelled them through space, but a few have even changed slightly. The balance of energy within them have shifted to one side, making them a little more negative than they were originally."

The process could never be rushed, only acknowledged as necessary and accepted in its entirety. But, as it contemplated its new universe, Aysus also watched Tahaan at play. It could not understand its counterpart's excitement with everything new and unknown, but it could see that excitement bubbling through its companion. For a moment, Aysus felt a trace of sorrow. Each of them was the only companion the other had. They were so completely opposite that the one could never fully understand the other, no matter how much they tried. There was no doubt that Aysus would not know what to make of a universe without Tahaan in it, and Tahaan felt the same way about it, but if anything that almost made it worse. Each naturally tried to reject its own nature in order to please the other, and the other only felt guilt at knowing it was bringing its companion to do something it did not really want to do.<br/><br/>But Aysus could not fully understand this sorrow it felt. It was like the new universe, strange and foreign and something that it could not understand no matter how hard it tried. it was, like the new universe, something that was going to have to be understood at a later date. Perhaps, when they both managed to understand it, the sorrow that it felt at the moment would no longer be necessary.<br/><br/>When Aysus noticed that Tahaan was watching it, Aysus turned away from its own still contemplation of the things that were, and once more turned to face the things that could be. Briefly it hesitated, trying to rationalize the difference between the things that were, and the things that could be out of the things that were. Was it really truly a change? It was something new in the sense that Aysus had never before experienced it in the manner it was being presented, but it was also true that the thing that was being presented was still the same thing that it had always been. If it looked closely enough, the threads would prove that every time. Could it really, therefore, be called a new thing?<br/><br/>Uncertain at the moment as to the answer of its own question, Aysus put it as one more of the ever-growing number of things that could only be solved by letting them exist for long enough.<br/><br/><i>~Come,~</i>it called to Tahaan.<i>~Show me these things that make you so excited.~</i>"

It thinks joyfully that it's counterpart is actually interested in what it is doing, and that makes it ecstatic. Dragging along some of it's creation it darts up to the ribbony mass and deposits them in the space between them.<br/><br/><i>~Look look here! If you flex your energy, it almost seems to change for a moment, but then it goes back to normal, like it can hold more energy, but maybe I'm not strong enough. Then, if you put a bunch together, then push and mush them about, they become different shapes and the space between the bits lessen even more, see?~</i><br/><br/>Taking one bit that is relatively big Tahaan begins pressing an molding it carefully and it begins taking on a completely different shape. It adds more and more until the ungainly mass seems to stop moving through space. Of course it is, but simply so slowly that without a little nudge it's movement is negligible.<br/><br/><i>~It seems that the bigger the mass of bit, the less it likes moving, but once it gets moving, catching it is a little harder then when it is a little bit. It's like it. . . .Well, I don't really know yet. I have to play more. . . .~</i><br/><br/>As it says this it begins trying to do just that. Making mass after mass it begins tossing the different sizes bits back and forth. Once in a while a mass will escape it, but instead of going after it, Tahaan just lets it go. It pays not mind to these errant bits, it's nature to focus on there here and now, what lays before it and not what is out of sight. On impulse however it playfully bats a few larger pieces at Aysus to see what it makes of them, hoping it isn't too bothered by the suddenness of the action."

The amusement was easy for it to explain to itself. Even Tahaan would not deny that its antics were wild, rather uncontrolled, and made from a completely innocent kind of joy that made Aysus’ reserved, scientific explorations seem cold and distant. The concern, too, was easy for it to understand. Neither of them knew anything about this new world, and Tahaan’s wanton exploration had already led it into situations that made it uncomfortable more than once. Undoubtedly it would do so again, but as the universe in which they dwelt became more and more complicated, the disastrous effects could be much greater. Those two emotions were obvious and easy.<br/><br/>The frustration, though, was not directed to the outside world or its partner, but rather towards Aysus itself. It watched its partner in play and consciously understood what it was doing, the way it was experiencing the universe, and it could see the joy practically emanating from its partner. This exploration brought Tahaan such great joy that the being could hardly contain itself most of the time. But Aysus’ clinical explorations and studies had never brought it that kind of joy. It found peace and happiness in a complete understanding of the universe, but in that moment Aysus wondered whether it would ever know the staggering joy of its partner, or if that, too, was another thing beyond its reach.<br/><br/>There had never before been something that Aysus was not capable of doing. Now there was something; Aysus could not change itself, and that was the source of the frustration.<br/><br/>Aysus was so lost in thought that it did not notice the large pieces of matter flying its way until they were almost right on top of it. Surprised, it surged backwards and managed to dodge almost all of the pieces, but a couple of the pieces of matter collided with it, and were folded gently into its ribbons of energy. Unconsciously Aysus brought them together, and began to shape them. Unlike Tahaan’s unreserved stuffing of parts together Aysus sculpted carefully and delicately, shaving away pieces with a gentle touch before guiding them to a new part of the lump of matter.<br/><br/>The thing that finally emerged was very different from the thing that had gone in. It was not anything except a lump of matter, but somehow it managed to recall Aysus’ own graceful, consistent nature. The weave was not different, but it had been pulled and pushed gently, and guided into a different form of alignment. The positive and negative energy naturally incorporated within it had been aligned cleanly. It was a large piece that was completely stable, the smaller pieces of matter that made it up not forced together, but willingly lining up. Unlike many of the other large pieces that might scatter apart at the faintest prompting, this matter appeared to want to stay together.<br/><br/>Aysus studied this thing, before pushing it away from itself and towards it partner.<i>~That can be yours, if you want it.~</i>"

Stilling as best it can it scoops up the remaining bit so they don't accidentally fly at it's partner.<br/><br/><i>~I am sorry Aysus, I didn't mean to spook you. I'm mean. . . .~</i><br/><br/>It knows that's going a little far, but it feels the need to say it anyways. It feels the urge to offer to take them all back but remains silent when it realizes that it's counterpart is doing something with the bits where Tahaan can not see them. Quite and tuning all it's senses on the only other living thing in this universe Tahaan can feel odd little ripples in the space around them. The little movements of Aysus' body send the little bits of matter this way and that, causing them to move over it's surface differently that the bit's normal floating pattern. It would normally find enjoyment in that, however given the circumstances it's too distracted to do so.<br/><br/>When at last the masses reappears Tahaan trembles with excitement but holds itself back. The bits have been put together, and in such a way that they seems stable, and in a way, beautiful. Tahaan hangs a little dumbstruck for a second when Aysus says it can have it but after a few seconds of silence it darts forward and wraps around the ribbony figure and spins at high speed, causing Aysus to twirl, and all nearby small bits to fly back. As it slows it squeezes Aysus and says happily,<br/><br/><i>~Thank you so much Aysus, it's beautiful. The way it all fits together, I could never do that. It's amazing, I can't believe you're giving it to me. Are you sure?~</i><br/><br/>Drifting over to the smoothly shaped thing Tahaan takes it delicately in it's cloudy tendrils and draws it in close, admiring it openly. Running it's tendrils over the various parts of the mass it whispers,<br/><br/><i>~I could never do something so pretty. . . .~</i><br/><br/>It does not sound saddened by the fact, but as it wraps it in close it slides back over to Aysus and once more embraces it best it can. Ignoring it's own exploration for now it carefully begins examining what Aysus did, it's movements slow and delicate as to not mess it up. The smooth feeling is very foreign to the being and it finds much amusement in trying to puzzle it out."

An idea was starting to form within it, and idea that it did not fully understand but which seemed to be something really beautiful. But, once more, Aysus would need time to understand it.<br/><br/>For a moment longer it watches Tahaan carefully testing the new piece of matter, its movements so countered to its normal wild, free antics. For a moment, Aysus is struck by the same guilt that Tahaan always seemed to display whenever it disturbed Aysus. And, for once, Aysus actually knew what to do about it.<br/><br/><i>~You don’t have to be so careful.~</i>it tells its counterpart.<i>~It doesn’t matter if you break it. I can always make another one.~</i>It moves a little closer before roughly shoving the ball of matter. The pieces hold together.<br/><br/><i>~Do what you want to with it. It is yours, completely and fully.~</i>"

Nothing I do turns out anything like this, it's special. . .~</i><br/><br/>It doesn't notice Aysus moving closer until it's too late. A loud crackle, a sound neither of them have heard before, erupts out of Tahaan as it launches after the tumbling bit of matter. Once it has a hold of the mass it wraps around it completely as if to hide it. The sound registers as having come from Tahaan and after a moment it realizes the sound represented the feeling it had when Aysus did something it didn't like. It wonders why it's counterpart would do such a thing, it's confusion taking the form of a slight trembling of it's mass as it turns to Aysus, still hiding the mass from view.<br/><br/><i>~Why would you do that? It's mine, you gave it to me, and I was playing with it the way I wanted to.~</i><br/><br/>It rolls this way and that, trying to figure out how to make it's companion understand.<br/><br/><i>~This is special, you made it for me. There is nothing else like it, and even if you make more, this one is the only one that is. . .It is. . . .Unique. All the new ones would be unique too.

I just make messes.~</i><br/><br/>Though there is no such thing as a smile yet, there is a smile in it's voice as Tahaan goes on.<br/><br/><i>~You and I make amazing things, but Aysus makes Aysus things, and Tahaan makes Tahaan things.

It knew what Tahaan said was true; it had understood that when they were making the matter. They were to do what they did, and that was what they did best, and that was what made what they did work the best. But the frustration and dissatisfaction from earlier still sat within it. They each did what they did, and things did not work when they tried to do what they did not do.<br/><br/>Yet hadn’t this brand new universe for them come from when they did two different things to one thing at once? This new universe couldn’t have come to be if Aysus had made Aysus things, and Tahaan had made Tahaan things. It took both of them to make something better than it had been.<br/><br/>For a moment Aysus hesitated, wondering whether it could express this idea through words better than it had through actions.<i>~But just because something is an Aysus thing does not mean it should remain an Aysus thing. The whole universe was once an Aysus thing, in a way. And it is not anymore.

Wrapping the Piece back up it tries hard to figure out how to explain why it feels that way about the gift it was given. However before it can think of anything it's thoughts are interrupted by even more words from the other. Having even more to think about actually helps it to understand and come up with it's response more quickly. Aysus turns to leave, but Tahaan calls out.<br/><br/><i>~Before we changed things, together, this was neither an Aysus thing, nor a Tahaan thing. It wasn't outs at all. It was simply where we were. Now, this place it becoming ours, because we wish it so, and even though together we make the most wonderful things, that does not mean that what makes us unique, the things we an make individually, is any less amazing and special than what we can make together. That's what I think anyways. Besides, this is a gift. That just makes it all the more special to me.~</i><br/><br/>Figuring that it's counterpart was leaving to be alone with it's thoughts, once he's done conveying it's words the dark gray cloud like being moves away from the only other being in existence to give it it's space. It moves away, leaving behind all the little hunks it made, taking with it only the mass of matter Aysus sculpted.<br/><br/><i>~It's so different from what I make. I like it. Not that I don't like what I make, but I can make what I make all the time. I don't often have access to Aysus things. Even when it was just us, the wells, and the threads, whenever I got close to Aysus, I would ruin it's webs even without thinking about it. I would try to let it have it's peace, but I just don't work that way. However with this, it stays in perfect shape. As long as I am careful, I can keep this Aysus thing from getting messed up.~</i><br/><br/>Drifting along it makes a hand full of lights and begins fiddling with shadows again. It finds pleasure in the shadows constantly floating across it as the mass passes between it an the light sources. Putting masses together here and there it watches, entranced, but the new forms the shadows take, the light sound of the masses colliding with each other and the light a stimulating experience.<br/><br/><i>~We make beautiful things together, but even apart, making our own things, we make beautiful things as well. . . .~</i>"

Both agreed eons ago that should humans ever find out about the creatures they share their world with that the fallout would be too terrible to imagine. To keep this secret, they've had to do terrible things, and they blood on their hands never seems to dry. However there has grown rumors of distention within the organization itself over the acts they are forced to perform and all the agents are now under close scrutiny. Each team, consisting of one human and one from the other side, undergo rigorous examination on a regular basis and very little slips through the cracks. However, one team has become rather adept at hiding their sympathies for those lost in the enforcement, and their front of hating one another is unquestioned. They work secretly to try and figure out a way to make the organization fall so the killing can stop. Years ago there was a child born of a human and one from the other side. They were killed for their “Crime” when he was still a baby, but they managed to hide him where the organization could not find him. Now, as a grown man, he too seeks to bring down the organization, by any means necessary. Despite his split parentage, the only of his kind as far as he know, he manages to find a couple from each side to help him on his mission.<br/><br/>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br/><br/>Things Jiskastya Likes:  I tend to enjoy stories that have some note of a darker element. I don't do particularly well with a story that has no supernatural aspect in it, simply because I tend to find it a little boring otherwise. I enjoy pairing the extraordinary with the average, although only if I don't have to play the average. I like characters that have a little bit of a messed up psychologically, although I can easily work with normal psychology and some really, really messed up mindsets.<br/><br/>I'm not opposed to having two guys getting together, but I don't want to set it up with having a romantic relationship as an aspect. If they fall in love naturally I can go with that easily. But I don't want to force it. And we will certainly have to fade to black.<br/><br/>By realism, I mean that once a rule has been established, everything else follows it.<br/><br/>My plots are usually nowhere near that established, as more often the moral or ""correct"" thing to do is highly subjective. Because of that, I do like the plot about the organization that has harsh rules in place to keep a supernatural population in place, although my character would probably be stuck somewhere in the middle about whether it is better to leave the organization in place, or potentially release the world into chaos. I also like the one where a character who can't remember what is going in is being hunted, although I almost never do humans with single animal-like characteristics.<br/><br/>As much as I love the idea of a war (and I really do enjoy things like that)<br/><br/>I have always believed in taking a look into the minds of anti-heroes, and most characters with the standard ""good motivations "" I do not find as interesting.<br/><br/>I prefer giving plots the chance to be completely re-directed, so that, if we plan something and find that it doesn't work out, it isn't impossible to redirect without completely starting over.<br/><br/>As far as which of us gets the more ordinary character, one of the best ways to work around that may simply be to have characters who are extraordinary in completely opposite ways. I’m not entirely sure how those opposite ways could be, but I’m sure you know what I mean.<br/><br/>It was most noticeable in the plot about the Organization, where “their front of hating one another is unquestioned,” but it ran fairly recursively through several ideas. That is something with which I would absolutely love to play.<br/><br/>. . .but just the general idea that there are people who have to pretend to be enemies, or act a certain way, and underneath they are an entirely different way, but no one knows that. Somehow, playing a few characters like that just sounds very interesting.<br/><br/>The other idea that I would absolutely love to play around with is the idea of a multi-sided war. Where groups of people are all in a free-for-all against the other groups. It is possible as an idea, although more limited in motivations than a two-sided war, but if you have any inspiration on that I’d love to hear it.<br/><br/>Something else that came up multiple times is the idea that someone has hidden knowledge/abilities inside of them that are starting to grow, and it is causing problems/people are hunting them for it. Depending on what you want to do with that first idea, it might fit well.<br/><br/>I’d rather perhaps lose the global focus and keep the plot a little bit more freeform.<br/><br/>Again, I’m not looking to get another series of plots. Perhaps it is my own controlling nature, but if I’m going to build a story from scratch with a partner, I’d like to be in the basic creation process as well.<br/><br/>What if the two different sides have gone to war for some reason? And, if the war keeps up, as it looks like it is going to escalate, it is almost certain that, after centuries of hiding, the human race would finally figure out about the other races hiding among them. Our characters were on opposite sides of the war, but were friends before it started. Now they have to pretend to be enemies, while being forced to fight in the war, and... stuff. Dunno. Random thoughts. Maybe we go ahead and take it to the extreme. Maybe the war does escalate too far, and the humans do find out. Then.. mass hysteria, plus three-way war.<br/><br/>Ok. Dividing line... I would rather not have one side be the undead, simply because (as far as I am aware) that side is a lot more limited than the other side. We want it to be something that would have an about balanced number of species. And there are enough shapeshifters that we can't use form as a category. Right now, Daywalkers and Nightwalkers is seeming like the best bet, but I'll keep thinking.<br/><br/>If we are going to go through the time to create our own world, there is little point to using a modern setting, unless for some reason you are fond of gasoline and black powder. The only really good thing about a modern setting is that everything has already been set up and established and Google has all the answers. If we are going to be changing things anyways... lets just make something up completely.<br/><br/>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br/><br/>Things PopeAlessandros Likes: I normally work best with a central group of people in mind(Be them a lover pair, a fighting team, or an organization) and while I have a strong love of Yaoi(M/M) romance.<br/><br/>I'm best with Fantasy and Sci-fi, but I can do any genre fairly well.<br/><br/>I have this thing about a central figure that is either feared, respected, or loved, or all three :P<br/><br/>Well, that comes from hanging around people who have a distaste for the gray I normally operate inside, and who don't root for the bad guys like I do : (I'm not kidding, as a kid, the villains were almost ALWAYS my favorite characters in Disney, with Scar at the top of the list :P) When making a lot of my own personal plots, I tend to have a character thateither has, or converts to, very non human based morals/habits/views of the world.<br/><br/>Maybe I do go a little far. I think it may come from my controlling personality and a subconscious desire to ensure that the plot has the potential to go in a direction I would like and in a way that won't have me quitting because I find it no longer interesting. . . .<br/><br/>We could have them live in the human world, and need to undertake human fronts, but both of our characters would be “Different” :P That could play to adding a third side, the humans, or even a fourth side, those rebelling against the system(From all three sides).<br/><br/>They all live on an earth like planet, with humans being the most prolific, hence dominant, race, and also the race that, for the most part, has NO idea the other two are real. The non human races would live around humans, mostly as humans, but yeah, have their own customs and lifestyles on the DL. I would say that, at some point in the past all three sides knew of one another and were at war, but now the mystical and undead, while still hating one another for the most part, decided to live peaceably among the humans. Also, since both those sides live longer, and humans for the most part tend to try and forget the unpleasant parts of their lives, have all but dismissed the two other sides as fantasy entirely.<br/><br/>Yea, team. I like the idea of the two secret sides having to work together to keep the peace, and to keep humans from finding out. It would give that touch of moral ambiguity and would have both characters with ""Blood stained pasts"" of a sort. Also, it doesn't have to be mystical/undead. I had a thought that it could be as simple as Daywalkers(Fairies, elves, ect.) and Nightwalkers(Vampires, Weres, ect.) or some other dividing line you like :P<br/><br/>I try to avoid using ""Our World"" at all cost. I am terrible with historical/geographical accuracy, so more often than not if I have something set in ""Modern"" I like to say it's more a world LIKE ours, but not ours. That way we can make up our own histories(Changing as much or as little as we want from out own history) and our own geographies of the cities, towns, countrysides.<br/><br/>I'm kinda stuck on the idea of our guys working together. . . If they are actually at war already, then the interactions between our guys will be few and far between, and that doesn't sound like much fun in a one-on-one RP<br/><br/>. . .could we keep with the idea of them seeing each other on a regular basis?<br/><br/>We can even have the war come in later when we've established things in such a way that we can figure stuff like that out better, or ways around my bad habits :P<br/><br/>I like the Nightwalkers and Daywalkers. We don't have to strictly use races that already exist, making our own races for either side to keep it balanced. I do think before hand we should go through the races that we want to use that already exists and put them into either category.<br/><br/>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br/><br/>And now we just have to find a way to hack it all together :P In the immortal wors of the plumber in the red hat, ""Let'sa go!"""

Most of our planning is still pretty abstract at the moment, so it doesn't matter too much. This is the important part.<br/><br/>I think I would rather avoid making gods the main reason for the conflict. Unless the gods are very significant in everyday life (which is, of course, a possibility), we might as well go with ""a reason long forgotten"". It has the same amount of significance. Most conflicts in our world have reasons to have begun, even if they are different for both sides. People tend to keep track of reasons to hate someone else.<br/><br/>The problem with slaves is that the conflict would be over a lot quicker. A fight for freedom is good, but after that point it goes back to ""business as usual"". American history as my evidence.<br/><br/>Cultural reasons/ differences in customs are usually a good one, as is supposed assassinations, if the supernatural populations has kings/emperors. Or, if we want to make gods very significant, we could go back to some godly reasons."

You mentioned gods in the first one, so I naturally assumed that your second set of higher powers were gods as well.<br/><br/>My main concern with an unknown reason is that the way the different sides act towards each other would be fairly dependent upon what happened in the past. If it was a betrayal, the latent hostility is going to be a lot more extreme than if it was something that happened in a war. It would also be important to know how long it has been since they actually got along. Is it something that came about right at the creation of the world, or is it a more recent development? Since our characters are going to be on opposite sides, the way they would have viewed each other when they first meet is pretty important. Unless you want to pick general reactions, and later build a reason from that?"

Basic negativity on the soft end of the scale, and a knee jerk reaction to attack on the harder end. I'd say it's still fairly common for one side or the other to ""Take revenge"" or something like that, but that's mostly a generational ""Your kind/family killed my great great something, and my father, blah blah blah"" giving a level of basic bad blood and specific reasoning for many characters, while over all it's mostly rumor and innuendo for those not directly linked(That they know of) to negative happenings between the two sides.<br/><br/>That way our two guys could get along, but still have the background of knowing ll about blood feuds that just compounds the issue of whatever happened in the past to make them hostile to one another. As for when the thing happened, I'd say so long ago that maybe only really, REALLY old fogies have any idea what it is, and for the most part, they ain't sharing. :P"

The resistance would be on both sides, so only one side would get the (Fill in the blank) and this would rile the other side up, causing a rise in incidents, which is what could lead out guys into whatever mess is about to erupt.<br/><br/>Yes, I have the idea of making new species, but this would be done to supplement already existing species that we like and would want in the story. So, we'd pick the species we like from existing one, divide them into the two groups, then add our own creations to either side as we see fit and hopefully provide a balance of power. Ex. Daywalkers got dragons, and not much can argue with the kinds of dragons I like RPing with :P<br/><br/>As for concealment, I would see base level enchantments that each side can learn at a certain age, but p until that point they have to be hidden away, or the family lives in the countryside until the child can use the concealing magic. But that's only for the non-humanoids. I'd say the human shaped ones can also use the concealing magics, and do, but they also can just put on the right clothes if they are feeling daring. I was also thinking of establishing a few places kinda like the MoM from HP, which would be safe places for the non-humans to just be themselves. Like bars and hidden playgrounds for the kids :P<br/><br/>I always like feedback on the ideas I pose, in case my partner doesn't like them or have a different idea.

I too like posing questions, and will do so like this:<br/><br/>Are there any particular cliches you'd like to avoid?<br/><br/>Any particular races you definitely want/don't want?<br/><br/>I remember you saying something about not doing modern. For me, using a semi modern earth setting as a base and building from there, or any base really, is a good way for me to start cobbling together my worlds. So, if not a modern base, what kind of base do you want? The world we come up with may end up completely different from the base, but a baseline helps my thought process. :P My own psychologist(I am a psychologist by the way) tells me that my thought patterns, when left to roam go, ""From A to B to. . .L, and Z!"" when I'm communicating to people my ideas. We start off talking about carrots and end up with me spouting off something about the Indy 500, which will make perfect sense to me, but no one else will get the connections. . . .And I ramble :P So yes, a building block, can be as simple as one of my favorite ideas ""Everything is powered by a very interesting kind of plant that glows"" That world looks, so awesome. . . . ."

Are we going back to the idea that there is an organization that tries to preserve the peace? I wasn't quite certain if that particular element was carrying through, but it does make sense. If so, how did the organization get created? Or maybe I misread what you were trying to say. Anyway. I would like elaboration on that first paragraph all the way around. :)<br/><br/>Sounds good. Supplemental creation is always a lot of fun. It will also be nice to have some... odder things in the mix. But I do want to make sure to include Raksasha, I'd rather avoid some of the random, creepy vampiric creatures from the Philippine and surrounding area, since they are mostly just repeats, and I think we can come up with some other cool things. Are we going to want to do ""light"" and ""dark"" versions of certain creatures? Like elves and dragons? Or do we want to pick one species for each type, give them a side, and leave them there? Because there are often numerous varieties of a single ""species"".<br/><br/>I'm not too sure what you mean by cliches in this case. Do you mean in terms of species and attitudes, or in terms of plot elements?<br/><br/>Hmm... A basis. I would be really fascinated about doing a world where the potential for a long fall is always hanging above everyone's head. I'm not quite sure what I mean by that, only that people have to pay attention to where they walk. I suppose that could mean living in giant trees, or having a world that is entirely made up of really jagged mountains, with narrow, steep paths and everything going up, or even floating islands. It is just a place where you have to pay attention to how you are moving, and if you closed your eyes and walked randomly you'd probably die within a minute.

I really liked the idea of our two guys working together but having to pretend to hate one another for the co-workers :P I think the Organizatsia(Bad, bad me:P) would have been set up soon after the war ended when it became clear that even if a peace was called, that the fighting between individuals or smaller groups would be harder to quash, and make it nearly impossible for them to hide their existence from the humans.<br/><br/>I has no idea of creepy vampiric Philippine beings, however I was going to limit myself to only two blood drinkers is that's what you mean :P I'm drawn to the darker side of things myself, so for the most part you may see me coming up with Nightwalkers :P I suppose we could have a few Riba(Reversable) creatures if you really want them, but when it comes to stuff like that I think they should be the less evolved creatures who act more on instinct since most things with at least human intelligence have learned for themselves what side of anything they want to be on. This also fits in with my idea of no one deciding factor making one Night or Day. I want 2 blood drinking creatures, but one a Night and one a Day, so as to not follow the stereo type that if id drinks blood, it's a ""Creature of the night"", y'know? As for stuff like Elves and Dragon. . .I'm a D&D Dungeon Master :P I know some races of elf seem on the permanent dark side, and that half the breeds of dragons are evil, but I want to ask a question first: How many breeds of each were you planning on and from what base? The D&D base would provide us with an already established line(Plain colors vs metallic for dragons, ect.) for most creatures, but if we're going strictly mythological then things could get way complected real fast. I'd like a mixture of both, but meh *Grin* However, if we do have more than one breed of dragon, I may begin being a little selfish when it comes to what side they are on. All elemental dragons are said to be neutral :P<br/><br/>All the cliches, all of them :P Kidding, sorta. Yes, I was wondering if you wanted to avoid all dwarves being loud and heavy drinkers, or the vampires sleeping in coffin(I want to scrub that one out myself :P) and also as far as plot goes I know you like more morally ambiguous sets for it, so which in particular of plot devices would you like to avoid?<br/><br/>We could have a world that's a mixture of all those elements. This could actually be the base for the humans themselves having some sort of, I don't want to use the term ""Cast system"" but something like a rivalry between those living on the floating island, and those living on say, the shifting sands, and the tree dwellers. I can see us coming up with some fascinating modes of transportation on this world :P<br/><br/>I have a list of races I'd like to see in the RP, some of my own long time creation. If you want I can list them now, or later :P"

Somehow it never fully connected to me that the organization was sticking around, but that is alright. It is something I'm perfectly willing to work with. All that we need to do on that particular front is decide a little bit more how the Organization came about. It isn't something that would have sprung up by chance, since it would take a lot of effort on both sides to set up something that wouldn't fail within the first year or two. So we will just need to flesh out those details.<br/><br/>Two blood drinkers works just fine for me. So long as you mean creatures that must drink blood to survive, and drink little to nothing else. I'm trusting that a blood-craving won't be limited to only two?<br/><br/>I'm not quite sure what you mean by reversible creatures. You mean ones that don't necessarily stay on one side, within their same type? As in, a parent could go to the Daywalkers, and a child (cousin, brother, etc.) could go to the Nightwalkers? I'd rather not have any of those at all. If you mean something else by that, though, feel free to clarify.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, I am completely unfamiliar with the D&D system of categorization, for just about everything. I've never had anyone with which to play the game, so it was never something that I wound up doing. Because of that... I don't really have a base. If you want to choose something, I could probably be persuaded fairly easily. Otherwise,we could both just call it as we see it, and agree that we won't fight over what goes where. Or, if we do, it will be brief. But I don't think there should be any ""neutral"", mostly because I'm imaginignt he light and dark thing more as something racial and genetic (if genetics is a thing with these guys), than it is a species choice. Something that defines the Daywalkers and the Nightwalkers, and makes it impossible for them to switch sides. Which is part of the reason I don't think there should be any who can switch sides. The reason being, I'm not really ok with the idea that a personal choice, rather than something that ""is"", even if it has a lot of history backing it, would never have a single individual who decided to rebel and switch sides. Individuals do all sorts of wacky things. That would mean we would need a couple defining characteristics for each side, but it would also probably make it easier to sort things.<br/><br/>As far as the number of variations within a species... I don't think it is really necessary to define that. That is something that could easily change at the drop of a dime. But that does raise the question; How many humans are there in the world, and what is the ratio of humans to the supernatural? If there are a large number of supernatural species, that would mean that there is less for each type. I know what I'm trying to ask, but I can't seem to find the right words. Do you kind of get what I'm trying to say?<br/><br/>I am ok with any species cliches, so long as it isn't a hard and fast rule. Saying ""all dwarves have beards,"" is like saying ""all dogs have fur."" Occasionally there is just an exception. Which is why I often drop a warrior monk elf and a fastidiously neat dwarf into the middle of a fantasy roleplay. Just to make a point.<br/><br/>My only major concern with plot is having our characters (or at least my character, I don't really get any say in yours) doing something because ""it is the right thing to do."" I don't mind if events do come up where they do do the right thing to do, but there needs to be a better motivation for it than that. :)<br/><br/>I'm fine with combining a lot of those elements. My only thought is, as soon as we start introducing different climates and different civilizations that live within those climates, we are also going to have to start thinking about the fact that not all of the supernatural species would live in each climate/area. And that is fine. It is just another layer of complication.<br/><br/>Umm... I'll definitely want to see the list, but I think we might want to get some of the other things I mentioned above sorted out first. Just because it might have a big impact on what winds up happening with these different species. So, later. But soon."

It isn't something that would have sprung up by chance, since it would take a lot of effort on both sides to set up something that wouldn't fail within the first year or two. So we will just need to flesh out those details.""<br/><br/>I see this as kinda simple. Some of the more powerful fighters from both sides that have grown a faint respect for their equals on the other side of the line saw more and more innocents dying now that it is against the peace treaty for the warriors to attack one another, so they came up with the idea with one another, and together they brought it to the leaders/council/beings that drew up the peace treaty, on both sides and when the idea was approved the top warriors were given the duty to keep both sides in line. However, to make sure there was no ganging up on one side or the other, they came up with the two being teams, one from each side, so they could keep one another in check. So in short, all those in power put their backing behind it, and those chosen to work on keeping the peace within the organization were given licence outside the law to keep the peace as they saw fit.<br/><br/>Does that sound good?"

The Organization...<br/><br/>I guess part of what I am stumbling over is how the peace even came about in the first place. I can see how the Organization would be a necessary by-product of peace, but it is a by-product of a lasting peace, as opposed to a peace because both sides are tired of dying. You know? How against each other are these guys? I mean, if it is like America vs Russia, from the cold war, even though nothing major is happening between the two countries, just skirmishes in smaller parts, we aren't about to pair up to protect each other.<br/><br/>Yeah.

I don't suppose that the simple fact that if the war continued they would most likely have killed each other off wouldn't work for you as a reason to stop fighting?

It's hard to come up with reasons on a grand scale when you remove higher powers and gods from the picture my dear :P<br/><br/>As for that last little part, I've always thought it's more fun to hide stuff from humans when they themselves have NO relation to that which is being hidden, so for me, no magic as far as the human s are concerned.

This magic that caused such a disastrous effect is new, right? Kind of like how, now that we know that the atomic bomb is a thing, a WWIII would pretty much obliterate everything? The children are gone, people are dying, and if the fighting continues after the cease-fire necessary for both sides to heal, it is likely that the weapon, or, more accurately, an adapted and narrower targeting version of that weapon, would be used again. The leaders of each side would see this, and know that if they started fighting, ever again, not only might it alert the humans, but it would likely cause the complete obliteration of one side, or both, depending on who it was that created the new magic. Since no one knows, except for the person who set it off, neither side would be willing to risk it, since it might belong to the opposing side.<br/><br/>But that isn't going to stop the Daywalkers and NIghtwalkers from fighting. So they make the Organization the ""bad guys,"" because they punish both/all members who participate in violent activity, not just the ""victims"".

If you mean something else by that, though, feel free to clarify.”<br/><br/>*Gathers thoughts*<br/><br/>Sorry this response took a while but it really took a lot of attention to work out my thoughts coherently on this one :P If you would like to have sub species inside the races that land on opposite sides of things, then it follows that there will be inter racial breeding and children that WILL have to choose one side or the other when they reach a certain age. For them, it will be a choice things. I only say this to follow true to my idea that no one thing should decide if you are a Nightwalker or a Daywalker. For many races, I see that yes, they will be most definitely on one side or the other, however with races that have sub divisions, I see a lot of “Choice” entering the matter when it comes to the more ambiguous aspects to the sides of the war.<br/><br/>If you really don't want “Choice” to enter into this at all, then it would be best if we stick with singular races with no divisions, but even then, going along with what I said before, that does not eliminate the idea of choice since even in the most narrowly construed definitions of what makes someone one thing or another, there are always the exceptions.<br/><br/>But I digress. When I said Riba I was talking about having sub races and inter racial children for the most part. So a dark elf and a wood elf have a kid, which side would it be on? For the most part, whichever parent that raised it would make the choice, but I have always loved a good rebellious undertone, or perhaps just freaks who just don't feel they fit in. In that respect, I had plans to have such things, but if you really are against such things, then to minimize my creativity in that respect it would be best if we went with the narrow race setting. In other words, only one race of elves, one kind of dragon(Or simply all different colors of dragons on one side, separating out the drakes, wyvrens, and flying serpents), and so on and so forth."

Here we go.<br/><br/>Do you think all that separates the Daywalkers and the NIghtwalkers could really just be a choice? I mean, it is possible, but it also seems more likely that there would be something... tangible. And while it may not be just one thing that makes the distinction, it also seems reasonable that there would be some things that would make you shunned very much by one group or the other. Nor am I sure how valid your example of the children are. If these two sides hate each other as much as we have laid out thus far, wouldn't children between Daywalkers and Nightwalkers really not be a... thing?<br/><br/>Because I do think that varieties within the species are a grand idea. And I'm all for avoiding generalizations like ""always"" and ""never"". Which means, maybe, a choice would be a thing. But it seems to me like the choice would kind of be like a white child from the pre civil-war time period choosing to go live among the slaves, or a black child being adopted by a white family. There are certain cases where certain things just... don't happen, right?"

I think for the most part we can come up with reasons for the races to be split so decisively. However, if we are going to have races that stem from the same base on either side of the line, then it is not outside the realm of possibilities that they are still genetically compatible, and when it comes to those children, I do see them having that moment of choice, if they are ever told that they are born of both sides. Side hating one another has never stopped rape you know :P All it takes is for one elf to rape another elf, and boom, possible pregnancy, and a child born from each side. If she comes to term at least. :P<br/><br/>As for the black and white example, I see what you mean, but I can also see some mixes producing children that are not clearly one side or the other. For example, if say red dragons are Daywalkers, then a red dragon child, even if it had a black dragon parent(In this case a Nightwalker) so yeah, it has no choice. However if a Gray Elf as a Nighwalker has a High Elf child(Daywalker), they both share such similarities that the child could pass itself off as from one race or the other. That child, if ever told, would have a choice. Or, if the child makes a perfect mix of the two, say a high elf face structure with red hair(The hair of a sylvain elf), then the child would belong nowhere, and this would add a very interesting angle to the story should such children exist in their own underground manner :P<br/><br/>So, when I say choice, it is suppose to be a very rare and unspoken of thing, since I see most of those kinds of pregnancies being terminated early. For me it's a fun idea, but if you really don't want it I guess I can just let my mind think of these things and I just won't write about them. . . .*Sad face* :P"

I'm not looking to have you accommodate me, really. I'd rather create a great, believable, realistic world. Cool?<br/><br/>Before we continue, though, there is one thing I would like to understand a little better. What separates the Nightwalkers and the Daywalkers? I agree that it wouldn't be just one thing, but I also don't think it would just be our random selections, right? I mean, we couldn't just flip a coin, and if it is tails the are Nightwalkers, right?

Sleep patterns makes perfect sense, and history also works, but I'm imagining that disposition and intelligence doesn't mean that all the good, stupid species go to the Daywalkers and the evil, smart people go to the NIghtwalkers. So how would intelligence and disposition play into the decision? Also, what would they be worshiping?<br/><br/>I won't deny, I'm still slightly concerned about how... abstract it seems. But maybe I'm missing something again."

M'kay. . . . .<br/><br/>I guess I'll use some species for these examples. Depending on how we play them, Weres could be either. If we use the lunar cycle for the transformations, they are most likely to end up Nightwalkers. If they are mostly unaware of their beast aspects, it gets a little more sketchy. If they are fully aware of their beastness, then it depends on their intelligence as to where they end up on the scale. Weres are mostly meat eaters, and rather indiscriminate, so if we dial down their intelligencee to animalistic levels, I would put them on the Nightwalker side, but if they have a human level ofintelligencee even when changed then again, it's up to a new factor: Disposition. Are they, despite their intelligence, predisposed to indiscriminate violence? If so, Nightwalker(Since such things are best done at night to avoid detection :P), if not, if they are simply more animalistic in their actions they could be Daywalkers.<br/><br/>That's one example of two those aspects working together to figure out where we wanna place a race. Think of them like check points for us to figure out, or simply look through when placing a race.<br/><br/>Striders are Nightwalkers. They operate in the dark, they worship dark gods, sacrifice intelligent beings, and feed on the flesh of sentient beings.<br/><br/>I'm not saying we make blanket judgments, I was just coming up with a set of categories to look over when making our decisions on races. Does that make sense? There can be really smart races and really dumb races on both sides. I don't want to use the terms evil and good, since they are highly objective and would, for me at least, make things far too simple. Black dragons are technically evil, however in our world they could have aged to the point that they no longer kill indiscriminately, and before the war even started had been on the side of the Daywalkers :P"

I know you've been at the convention, and because of that things have been going exceptionally slowly from you, but I also perused some of the activities you have, and I found at least 25, probably more, roleplays that you are involved with. Most of them as complicated as this one.<br/><br/>Now, I can't know how much you can handle, but, even before the convention, your replies were slow. And I get why that would be the case, I really do. But at the same time, I'm struggling to work with it. Waiting five, six days, even a week for a reply once the roleplay has actually started is all well and good, but when there are gaps this long in the planning stage... things start to fall through.<br/><br/>I write because I love it, because I love the world that is being created, and because I love the character I have placed in that world. But having to wait so many days at a time to get back into the world, I lose the passion for it, especially since at this point there is very little for me to truly care about. I love this idea, it is wonderful and unique. But every time you reply I have to go back, reread almost everything, remind myself of why I care so much. And then, once I have remembered, once I do care again, I have to hope that you will reply quickly, before my passion fades back to a slow burn. And every time it gets harder to remind myself that I should keep trying.<br/><br/>I still want to roleplay with you. I truly do. But at the same time it is hard and uncomfortable to approach this story with such a cyclical pattern. I don't know what I want from you. I can hardly ask you to ignore other people to satisfy me, but, at the same time, if you tell me that there is nothing else you can do and it is either this or nothing, I'm not sure that I won't take nothing."

My mind is slow, and I have no idea when the next explosion is going to happen in this household. I was hoping to be home way before today, and it looks like it still may be a few days before someone has time to get me home. My not responding is not by my choice, and I am really very sorry about it. If I were home I would be much quicker, and I know my past actions may not make that believable, but it is the truth.

My lag has nothing to do with my other RPs, I promise.<br/><br/>Now that I have finally kicked myself into writing during the day, when most here are asleep or at work, I will be able to reply better, and once I get home I will be ever more attentive now that the con is over until next year.

As for how many of each, that depends, yes, on how many species there are. It was one of the things I wanted to go with when speaking earlier, but I may not have said it and just forgot I didn't. Anyways, I think there should be only once race of elves, one or two races of small winged humanoid, a few races of animal human hybrid type things, a very small selection of undead like creatures(No zombies, they give me headaches :P) one or two race of dragons. . . .You get the idea.

Can we take a slight detour back in time, to remind me of what exactly we plan to do with this plot. I know we have the organization, and that we have a Daywalker and a Nightwalker who are working together to make sure that the Daywalkers and the Nightwalkers at large don't fight. But we aren't still going with ""tear down the Organization"" are we? Seeing as how that is really the only thing keeping both species safe, are we? And we've also established that having ""mixed"" parentage isn't completely uncommon, so it isn't as though the story would be focusing on the kid. What were we planning to do? I also don't know who is taking which character on the side. I don't really care, so would you prefer a Day or Nightwalker?"

I if remember it correctly when first discussed the reason for the tear down was that our guys really hate the way things are going, with the baby slaying and mass genocide of innocents. I think starting with that as a base would be a good way to worm our way in and find the true course of the plot and eventually work out the spectacular story I know is hiding in here :P I know it sounds a little ""Good guy"" but one does not need to be good to disapprove of killing people not really involved or babies. Think of it like the organization, while still keeping war at bay, are doing so in such a corrupt and self destructive way that now it's no longer about keeping the peace, but about the ones in power asserting their authority in reprehensible manners. That would be the base motivation of the coup, but since you wanna avoid ""Good for the sake of good"" your guy could have his own reason for wanting to do what they are doing, and hey, maybe even be planning to screw my guy over once the opportinity presents itself :P"

And where did baby slaying come from? I seem to recall that the organization punished those who threatened to destroy the peace, and babies would hardly do that. I thought the people who started the organization were... well, reliable? Also, if they tear it down, the war would start back up, and the same attack that killed all the children in the first place might get used again. Unless, of course, by ""baby slaying"" you are implying that the Organization was the one who launched the original nasty magic attack in the first place, knowing what it would do?"

I think this is due to my total recall. Back near the beginning of our discussions we came up with ideas of what our guys would be up to, and why. The reason we came up with was because the organization had become corrupted and our guys disagree with the way things are running now. Part of that discussion was the killing of half breed babies and children(If I'm not recalling incorrectly) and the killing of those simply suspected of conspiring to ""Instigate war"" a.k.a. disagrees with the organization's policies. The organization was founded and run on very reliable an honorable principals, but like all things that do not grow and progress, it stagnates and rots. Those running it not are not nearly as high minded as those who founded it, and because of that we have a corrupt system. I would say our guys don't want to tear it down per se, but they do realize that the only way to fix the problems with it is to first burn out it rotten core, gut it of all that is befouling it, and perhaps re-build it the way it was meant to be run.<br/><br/>However, that is just the beginning motivation in my mind. I can see it going in a million different directions depending on our characters and the story as it plays out. The magic bomb, the way I see it, would hold less threat and give us an interesting starting point if our guys have been doing exactly what the organization was put together to avoid. See what I mean?"

As ever, very sorry for the delay. I had to do a bit of thinking.<br/><br/>Your idea about the Organization is entirely possible in this world. In fact, I would even go so far as to say it is plausible. It could happen. There is no doubt of that. But I've realized something else. I don't really... want it to happen. There is no reason that the Organization couldn't be corrupt and a monster that should be destroyed, but that doesn't mean it has to be, right? I love the world, I'm fascinated by the relationship between the Day and Nightwalkers. I like the relationship between our characters, that they pretend to only be paired by force, but are secretly really good friends. I'd be very interested in having a half-breed child who somehow integrates his way into the story. But an evil organization controlled by a corrupt leader, and a rebellion determined to bring them down? It just feels... like something I won't be able to get behind. I'm sorry, because I know you like the idea a lot. But can we change it? Pick something else that drives the plot?"

That way, we can play around with their relationship in front of other people, as well as away from them.<br/><br/>... How about this. For some reason or another, our guys leave halfway through this mission, and when they return to the Organization they learn that the teams who remained were all butchered, and suspicion has fallen on... one of them. Not both. They have to figure out who did it while under constant scrutiny. This antagonistic force is looking to break down/ take over the organization, and turn it into the evil organization that we were considering before. The best way to do that is break it from the inside, and, for some reason... our characters are an ideal place to start.<br/><br/>That could get a nice mix of conspiracy, action, and conflict, mixed in with the daily life of the Organization members, and the brunt they have to take from a public that hates them. Because I do believe that the Organization has to get its hands dirty fairly often. And some, maybe even most, people don't support it. But it isn't necessarily cruel or bloodthirsty.<br/><br/>Of course, all the while, the humans are, for one reason or another, drawing closer to figuring out about the existence of the Walkers. Perhaps a halfbreed child between a human and one of the races? Or another malignant force that wants the humans to wipe out the Walkers?<br/><br/>Any of that sound good to you?"

If we go with the idea that they are not highly supported by the public I can see most of the workers from more traditional or richer families who see joining the Organization as almost a give-in for a portion of their lives because it's become a kind of tradition. (If we go with this idea, I should warn that my guy will most likly be one of those odd individuals NOT from a rich family and has joined under mysterious circumstances).<br/><br/>*Shuffles around* I like, and call me weird for it, but I has a liking for adopting in RPs, so if we go with the half breed thing I think ti would be a lot of fun if our guys in some way come to take care of a 7-13 year old half breed, which up til that point had been being raised by human parents, but for some reason or another the parents are now dead. . . .Just an idea that came to me, what cha think?"

That will also add a little mystery, because it probably starts out relatively routine, so why it devolved.<br/><br/>Umm... I'd be cool with having the Organization connected to the butchering if and only if there is a very sound reason for it. Not necessarily good, but sound. Something more than corruption. It is something... I'd be open to, although I'd rather not make it key. If you know what I mean. Either way, if we are going to follow that, I'd like to know what and why before we start. Because it will directly connect to whatever the strangeness is.<br/><br/>The same with the adoption thing. I find the feasibility of that rather limited, because I can't help but imagine that the people who work for the Organization don't exactly get ""weekends off."" I also imagine that they would highly frown upon having a child in the base of the Organization. In all honesty, I really only threw out that idea because I know you liked the idea of the half day and night children. It isn't one of my favorite ideas. Lets put that one on hold, and once we get a little further into the story we can re-open it for discussion. By that point I will know both the world and the characters a little better, and my decision will be easier.<br/><br/>I could see the traditional families sending children to be in the Organization, but I wouldn't say that they are the majority of the workers. After all, there aren't that many rich people in the world, there simply can't be, and the Organization kind of needs to be everywhere at once. Which means they either need really powerful workers or a large number of workers. My guess is that they would go for both. And only a small portion of the available families can't fill that. I'm certainly happy to have that be a part of things, and I could see one supposedly ""elite"" force entirely comprised of those kinds of people, but I also think there are enough people who would join the Organization for other reasons. Money, protection, a chance to have a position of authority, or simply the foresight to see that the Organization my really be a necessary and good thing."

What I can see as a 'solid' reason would have to do with keeping the secret. The mass killings would be specifically for children born from humans and non-humans because the higher ups see them as a threat to the secret. . . . .Just the first idea at the forefront of my mind.<br/><br/>*Shuffles around* Okay, we can talk about kid thing laters. . . . :P<br/><br/>No no, not. . . .Hnnnn, how to say. . . . .Since most of the races are rather long lived, and each generation of aristocratic family would have their children join, I can see most of the workforce made up of those kinds, since. . . .Well, I had the idea that the Organization doesn't pay all that well, and if all the workers are from rich families they will not mind the low pay. However the families that are not rich have to find other jobs that pay better, or take on a second job if they still want to work for the Organization. Just an idea. *Though happens* I know you said that the Organization needs to be everywhere, and I agree, but I just had an idea that wight work for both thoughts. How about the Organization has been established so long that they don't really NEED too many workers because there are no more mass riots or incursions. Like, they've downsized since for the most part a Organization member showing up on a scene is normally more than enough to defuse a situation.<br/><br/>Just a though that hit me. Oh, and I got the feeling that you had a very different idea with this line “Money, protection, a chance to have a position of authority,” so, what were your ideas on that? Care to elaborate?"

The organization is dedicated to keeping the secrets of the Walkers. That is their whole purpose. I have two concerns with that, though. First, how could one of those children be born without the secret being revealed in the first place? I can't imagine that the Walker children are born disguised. Which would mean, that as soon as the child was born the secret would be ""out."" Also, sure, rape, but still. Why would one of the Walkers want to have sex with a human? Don't the Walkers kind of consider humanity... the bane of existence? Also, as a slightly more major problem, why would that mean that the Organization members have to get killed? They know their job. They'd do it if they need to. Or, at least, not all of them wouldn't do it...<br/><br/>What I could see, though, is having a group of Walkers who are looking to purposefully expose the presence of the Walkers to the humans. Probably in some sort of massive conquest thing. A kind of Cult, dedicated to having the walkers rise above and take control of the ""inferior"" humans, who only rule through population. And perhaps they have some messed up sort of magic that can do some minor mind control. Which is why everyone, Organization members included, was killed. Because they succumbed, and turned traitor. So one of the powerful higher ups ahd to come and personally clean up the mess. But, of course, that didn't end the Cult. It could be one of the recurring problems, if we like. And, for one reason or another, our characters are directly connected to it. Either because they can resist the mind control, or they are literally connected to it, or someone simply decides that they are the two for the job.<br/><br/>Why would the Organization not pay well? And, perhaps even more importantly, why would people who are very rich, and are therefore used to living in luxury, hire on for a job that doesn't pay well, that requires them to obey all orders, and, if they don't pay well, probably doesn't have a high standard of living? It is completely counter-intuitive. Frankly, the rich go to where they can make more money. And maybe the Walkers are different, but it still seems backwards to me that they would go and work. especially if they are rich enough and influential enough that they could probably get a job anywhere they wanted. Also, the fact that they live a long time would mean that there would be less workers, not more. A longer life span means less children per year, which means less children who would be of the right age to work in the Organization.<br/><br/>I don't think the number of employees would really go down with time. Yes, there may be less problems, the Organization would have control. But the more control there is the more dissent there will be brewing just under the surface. As soon as it starts looking like the Organization is weakening in power, people are going to try and rise up. If the presence of one of the Enforcers is enough to calm things down, that still means you need an enforcer at every dispute, and I can't imagine that the frequency of disputes is going to have gotten any less. Think about America. We have the strongest military in the world, but we have to constantly work to keep growing it, so that it still looks like we could whup your ass in a second if you step out of line. I don't think the Organization is looking for a point where they can just kind of... fade out. They are the power, and whether they are a good power or a bad power is beside the point. They are going to want to stay in power.<br/><br/>What I meant by “Money, protection, a chance to have a position of authority,” ... Think about America again. The reason so many people work in the Government, whether they like the government or not, whether they like their job or not, is because it pays well, because it is a very stable job, one that they are not likely to lose, and it has very good benefits. Seeing as the Organization is pretty much like the government of the Walkers, why would it be any different? Besides, many of the downsides to a government job, like the fact that it is incredibly inefficient and many people are lazy, would be removed because of the strict control within the Organization itself. Even if the Walkers don't like the Organization, if they see it as a cruel overlord, there are still going to be people who will go and work for them. Maybe their family is sick, and they need the Organization to pay for whatever substitutes as Medical Bills. Which the Organization would probably only do for employees. Maybe they want to be close to the ""boss,"" so that, if or when things go bad, they will be on the ""winning"" side. All I'm trying to say is that, just because the Organization is disliked, doesn't mean that people won't still go and work for them.<br/><br/>I think I got everything... let me know if I missed anything you'd like me to expand upon."

Don't the Walkers kind of consider humanity... the bane of existence?</b><br/><br/>Not all Walkers think of humans that way, and in fact I can see several races even liking humans. Like Vampires, sure the stereotype is thinking of them as little more than chattel, but there is always the odd vampire love story. I see many other races that may fall in love and want to have a life with their human partners if they are human compatible. Dragons themselves have often been known for taking human lovers and they bearing halfbreed children. I do not see a united level of hatred across the board for any race,even the humans, so, yeah, they could be in love with their human lovers and be trying to keep it secret. Hence, halfbreed children.<br/><br/><b>Also, as a slightly more major problem, why would that mean that the Organization members have to get killed?</b><br/><br/>For me this is thinking a little too far ahead. This is the question our characters have to try and answer and I think it would be no fun for us to have the answer to it right off the bat.

Rich. Old and well to do doesn't have to, and in the case of non humans, have anything to do with money. So, rich going where the money is, has nothing to do with the older families I'm thinking of. It's far to human a way of thinking.<br/><br/><b>Also, the fact that they live a long time would mean that there would be less workers, not more. A longer life span means less children per year, which means less children who would be of the right age to work in the Organization.</b><br/><br/>I have always thought this idea as bassakwards. Elves can breed as fast at humans, and do. Dragons lay a clutch of eggs and with the modernization have less to worry about, and Were most likely have multiple births as well. I will never accept a direct correlation between life span and children born per lifespan/year/whatever. Since were going with a small selection of races, it still makes sense that the humans outnumber the on humans, however, I really have a strong distastes for the crap about longer lifespans making for less babies. . . . It's always bothered me, and if it's not too off for you, I'd like to toss that old ideal behind in this RP.<br/><br/><b>I don't think the number of employees would really go down with time.

The organization is, to me, NOTHING like a government. In the initial descriptions of what it is I remember distinctly calling it something like a “Shadow organization outside the law”. And I'd like to stick to that. The are not a governing body, they are more like an outside military force. Also, as this seems to be the case, I also rebel against the idea that the non humans even HAVE a central government type figure. For the most part, most none humans live in their own societies governed but heir own rules and social norms. That's a fact true in any fantasy realm. Elves have their own rules, Dwarves their own, Goblins theirs, and Drakes theirs. The thought of them under one set ruling body is. . . .Actually rather distasteful to me. This would, to me, destroy a lot of what makes it fun to be or even see any of these races interact or simply live their lives. One set of laws, like America, makes things to uniform even in their rebellions of disputes. It's the differences between the races and their societies that is fun and entertaining, and one of the things that makes the fantasy realm so much fun for me. So, yeah. . .Sorry if that is offensive in any way, it's just how I roll? I really hate to think of the non humans having/being like human stereotypes.<br/><br/><b>All I'm trying to say is that, just because the Organization is disliked, doesn't mean that people won't still go and work for them.</b><br/><br/>I agree with this, however I think the reasons behind joining would be a lot different than the base human reasons one would join a workforce. The noble kids would join to better understand humans, to learn the ins and outs of operating in their society, so that when they finish their tour and go back to their families they would be able to make their clan better and do things that previous generations never thought of, or expand in such directions that they never believed possible. This also ties into why the workforce would be getting smaller. Not only are a lot of the disputes once had rather often tamed down and have very little chance of flaring back up, but the clans are finding better ways to channel their energies and perhaps making their tours shorter. It's what would make the workers from the non noble families more important since they are their for the long haul and such, but would make the mass slaying of the workers all the more dramatic since the members would consist mostly of noble guys. I think it would add an interesting layer and a whole slue of issues that would be fun to deal with.<br/><br/>~*~*~*~*~*~<br/><br/>Sorry if it seemed like I disagreed with you almost every step up there, I just. . . .Don't like generalizing different races into once central group when it comes to fantasy, and, yeah. . . .OH! This idea -<br/><br/><b>What I could see, though, is having a group of Walkers who are looking to purposefully expose the presence of the Walkers to the humans. Probably in some sort of massive conquest thing. A kind of Cult, dedicated to having the walkers rise above and take control of the ""inferior"" humans, who only rule through population. And perhaps they have some messed up sort of magic that can do some minor mind control. Which is why everyone, Organization members included, was killed. Because they succumbed, and turned traitor. So one of the powerful higher ups had to come and personally clean up the mess. But, of course, that didn't end the Cult. It could be one of the recurring problems, if we like. And, for one reason or another, our characters are directly connected to it. Either because they can resist the mind control, or they are literally connected to it, or someone simply decides that they are the two for the job.</b><br/><br/>I can see us working with several of theses ideas, they seem fun. However I don't want to set anything like this too solid since, again, I feel it's too far planning ahead for me to set the motivation in stone so early on. I know I initially had an idea of the motivation for our guys, but that's different in my mind than setting the motivation of the antagonist/s :P I like the idea of our guys being special for some reason. Perhaps one of us can resist and that one has to, I d'know, share blood or magic or something, so that his partner can still keep on working on the case too? Maybe have the one without resistance under the control for a while until the one who can resist notices and have a confrontation to resolve the issue. . . .Looks epic in my head, but again, just a thought :P<br/><br/>Again, sorry this took so long! You were very thorough, so not need for expansion unless you really want to :P"

That is my own bit of unconventional-ism, if you like.<br/><br/>The other possibility is that the main gods, the ones who would be accepted, and also not the ones we would be playing, are not... people-ish-things. They aren't like the Greek or Hindu gods, or even like the Christian god.

I hope it didn't puke on anything important.<br/><br/>For our characters I think it would be interesting for them to be made of both, but each of us made more of one than the other, that way we're not identical. Does that make sense? That way we already have the base inside of us of HOW to mix the energies, but we're still relatively different.

I do think that we want to be able to do things independently. But, since everything in the world needs to have both positive and negative to exist, and we can both weave positive and negative, I'm not sure that ownership would really be a thing.

I am thinking, though, because they are very similar to gods, that, once the thing has been created, they can each pretty much manipulate it any way they want. Of course, the one towards which they are more inclined, positive or negative, is the manipulation that would be easier for them. But they can both do some pretty outrageous things.

Because, in the beginning, they aren't... physical, are they? They are just Weavers. So, while there might be an impression of fingers and eyes, they wouldn't be, like, sitting out in empty space as humans. And I also can't really imagine my character limited to one form, either. Nor do I think I would be able to describe a personality. I'm not good at that at the best of times, because most of the time my characters take on a life of their own.

I guess your's and my mind work very different when it comes to our characters. I already can see him, I know him, I understand him, and have no problem telling others about him into the minutest detail. The idea with ""Being stuck with a personality"" is very foreign to me, because of how well I know him. I'm not making him, I'm simply knowing him, and telling others about him. Sure, there is the changing form aspect, but I know that my guy will have what he is most comfortable with, and that's what I would put in the sheet. Also, if I recall, the initial planning part when I first laid down the idea, they do not begin weaving until they themselves are given physical form. So, in my mind, the RP starts after they ""become physical"". I understand to a point that phrase people use so often around me, but when it comes to my own characters they take on life way before the RP starts. Since I never dictate what they are, I simply feel them, the ""Taking a life of their own"" phrase is very odd to me. I know I'm different. Most of the people I meet think my mind is just, strange beyond all reason, so I know that other people's minds work different than mine. However it always makes me feel bad in situations like this where my confusion makes me feel like somehow I'm looking down on how other people's minds work. Tahaan is already a living, growing entity in my mind, his feelings are flowing as easily as my own, and through his eyes I can already see what he sees. I'm sorry if this is confusing, I just wanted to give you a full and proper response."

Maybe it is because it is late, maybe I'm just tired, but I'm ticked off enough that I'm not really sure I care what kind of an upset this is going to cause.<br/><br/>You are making me feel pathetic. Every time you try and tell me how your brain works you make me feel incompetent. Great, so you can remember every tiny detail about a story instantly. Congratulations, you plot out your characters so well in your head that you know what kind of cake they had for their fourteenth birthday before the story even begins. Do you have any idea how bad that makes me feel? Writing is one of the only things in which I can pride myself, but in every way I fall short ofn The Great Pope Alessandros. I can never quite match his standards.<br/><br/>You dive into a story set on what you want. And of course you say that you really want my input, but secretly, I bet, you already have everything worked out in your head. It is great if what I propose fits with what you already have, but of it doesn't you are going to fight tooth and nail until I get so frustrated that we go with what you want. Because that way it fits perfectly with the character you already know everything about.<br/><br/>Go write a book if you want to know everything. Because you can't know everything in a roleplay. It leaves no room for your partner. None at all."

If I wanted to say I was better than you I would say ""I'm so good, I can do this!"" But I don't, because I don't think that way. I am really sorry it upsets you, I really am. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to ""show that I'm better than you"" because in all honestly, I have no such intentions. It's why I posed it the way I did. You asked what to put in a character sheet, so I told you what I see of my character. What I would put into a character sheet. As for matching my standards, you should see some of the people I RP with. You far exceed my baseline and interest standards and we haven't even begun RPing yet.<br/><br/>As for taking control of an RP. . . I'm not sure what to say other than it's not true. From my initial idea only one things has remained the same: There are two beings. Through your questioning and you want of change -<br/><br/>*They switched from simple light and dark to actual directed energy beings<br/>*They no longer just have live springing up around the, they are the cause or at least tools behind it<br/>*They went from being completely innocent to a kind of god figures<br/>*Their purpose is well on it's way to being firmly established rather than remaining vague for us to work on during the RP<br/><br/>My initial idea was the extent of my planning at that point, then you began asking questions. You began directing my thinking pattern.<br/><br/><b>""Are you going to want to roleplay as the gods? Or would you rather create gods, and then roleplay as the people in the world they create? Or a combination thereof?""</b><br/><br/>You gave options, ideas that I thought you wanted to work with, so I looked the way you directed me and gave you my thoughts on the matter. after that became our tumble of disagreements. I know how gods normally work in worlds, so I thought it would be fun to make this world different. And you said that was interesting, so I thought we were doing good. You rejected my idea of other beings like ourselves, and I accepted it without hesitation. Then you posed the ""Something"" idea"" and I went with that. . . .Do you see where I'm going with this? I can see how this seems like, near the end, that I was being stubborn on things, but that was only because through your questions the vague forms of ideas I once looked at took form and began to settle. You would keep asking what I see, and in the end, that would of course make it look like I did most of the planning. I am always open for input, I am always willing to change, but one something takes form and is solid before me. . . .<br/><br/>I can see the spot where we, at least to me, began butting heads. It was the point where I wanted to keep things simple, give our guys no greater motivation than to build, and you decided they needed a reason. I knew if we went any further in that we would begin seriously disagreeing, so I tried avoiding it by being as obtuse in my opinions as possible. I tried not giving myself a foothold, but you kept asking more and more what I saw, so I told you. I don't like controlling the planing, I don't WANT to be the one doing the building and planning most of the time, because it does not feel fair to me. It makes me feel like I'm overriding my partner's ideas they have not yet had or posted. I tried very hard to not reach the point where I begin solidifying things in my head, I really did. I even told you as such right near the top of this page, about the time where we had a misunderstanding about energy types. In fact I think it's the same post. *Looks* Yes, yes it is.<br/><br/>For my own part my initial idea of two beings coming into existence would have started our RP with nothing more than two character sheets bringing forth two beings into a void of mostly nothingness with nothing more than two exceptionally creative minds driving the world and their actions, and that was good enough for me. That gave us the opportunity to work things out in a more natural way when it comes to RPs. Your level and kind of planning is very well suited for novels and the like. I can see you creating an amazing story with only someone else as a sounding board should you want a flush of ideas to work with. I can tell you're a good writer, I really really can. And for RPs, I can see your attention to detail and slue of questioning being good as the RP goes along, but after reaching a certain point in pre-planning it's better to just do the RP and let the planning be directed by the RP itself. It's like. . . You said before you don't want your character stuck in a particular personality, your type of planning makes us stuck with a setting that may have done better being built in RP. You asked fro something simple or vague or something like that, then insisted we go above and beyond.<br/><br/>Just so you know I'm not upset, just a bit confused. I am a writer, and I use my skills to write my responses in RPs, but I am also one very sure that writing and RPing should have it's very defined lines between them. Writing is planned, hashed, discussed, scripted and goal oriented, and I enjoy it very much. RPing is, at the beginning, simple, formless, empty, and is built through the talents one two or more people bouncing off of each other until they find a good rhythm. That too I enjoy very much. Once my eyes see beyond a certain point in the planning of an RP, I begin seeing things really like, and want to keep, but for my partner I am willing to forsake a lot of it. I know I sound arrogant, stubborn, and a bit controlling at times, but when it comes to RPs I try my best to never reach that point.<br/><br/>I don't know everything in an RP, nor do I ever want to, and even if there is a picture in my head right now of the world and it's inhabitants, because we have never discussed them it is still very open for change. So too are all the tings we've discussed, however because of the discussion i have some wants and some things I may ask not be changed. Like the relationship between the gods and the people. Mostly because we seemed to agree that that would be interesting.<br/><br/>I just want to say one last time that I'm sorry you are bothered by my mental faculties and reiterate that I in now way see myself as better. Just because my mind works the way it does, making things easier on me, does not mean that it's better than what you can do. I think it would be amazing to be able to actually PLAN a character rather than it just springing into existence. However I like the way I find my characters, and I am in awe of people who do it differently. Also, I want to say one last time that I had no real plans going into this second try other than what I initially stated, so in essence, you built this RP through my brain. I have conceded or integrated most everything you brought up to a point, so I am sorry for the few things I put my foot down on."

Character...<br/><br/>I remember something, vaguely, about our characters having a set physical form, right at the beginning of the roleplay? How is that possible if they have yet to even create matter? I'm all for making them unique, but it also seems like... they wouldn't be physical entities. They could certainly weave themselves something, they might even have a favored or ""recognized"" form, but wouldn't they ultimately be consciousnesses?"

I do not see this original form as their most common form, but by looking through their eyes you can see in their hearts what form they will come to love most. At this point, all the sheet needs is some base information, the physical appearance their first amorphis shape at first, but as you discover more about your character you can fill in his most prized forms. In other words, for now, the sheet for you will be a little blank, but as we play you will be able to add more it to help me along to seeing just what your guy looks like in his most prized form.<br/><br/>As for consciousnesses, yea, it would be, but I don't see us even being able to call them characters without that. That, sounds kinda narrow I know, but without consciousnesses, there is no thought, and without that, there is no creation.

With the help of it's counterpart it can make even more amazing things, with the potential of creating entire universes with their combined energy.<br/><br/>General Personality: Spirited, enjoys moving around a lot. Can not seem to be still and will make up games for itself for it's own amusement. Likes to tease it's counterpart when it can, but knows when to stop.<br/><br/>Background: Tahaan has just been brought into existence, the space he occupies is shared with only one other sentient being, his counterpart.

The hair up front is a bit frumpy, but in the back it's strait and glossy.<br/><br/>Eyes: Bright emerald green<br/><br/>Skin: Pale, but with a healthy glow<br/><br/>Build: Slender with faint muscle tone, very agile looking<br/><br/>Extra: On his back just below the shoulder blades are long tentacle like appendages that are twice as long as his own arms. They are flesh, without any suckers or anything, just coming to a point at the end. They are strong enough to hold him and can be snapped like whips. He has a tail, a little longer than the tentacles, and it too is fleshy with the ability to hold him up, flexible enough to hang from and grab things. His legs are like a cat's back legs without the fur, with cheetah like claws at the end, a.k.a., non retractable. His ears are larger than a human's, but still is designed basically the same way. However they take up a bit more of the side of the head and sweep up into feline like points with little tufts at the end.<br/><br/>Clothes: Simple black robes with purple boarders along the sleeves, bottom, and up the middle of the chest where it comes together. It has an extra pair of sleeves in the back for his tenta-arms but most of the time they are not visible, the sleeves longer than the arms. The robe splits up either side to reveal almost clown like matching back baggy pants cinched at the waist with a purple cloth.<br/><br/>Accessories: A single silver bell ear cuff hanging from the edge of the tip of his left ear. It jingles when he moves.<br/><br/>Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Using the energy inside it can create something, from nothing, within limits. With the help of it's counterpart it can make even more amazing things, with the potential of creating entire universes with their combined energy. In this form he can also climb trees like they are nothing, jump amazingly high, and using all of his appendages swing through the trees so fast that he looks a lot like a bruise colored blur. His tail and tenta-arms can be used to strike with a lot of force.<br/><br/>General Personality: Lighthearted and usually giddy. He likes to laugh and his sense of humor occasionally runs to the very dark side. He enjoys nature and is prone to wander, being easily distracted by one thing or another. He doesn't like going too far from his counterpart though so he will eventually stop to run back to their side should he feel he's too far away.<br/><br/>Background: Tahaan as newborn, just beginning to test his limits. His curiosity and creativity has him always ready to try new things. He doesn't know what's going to happen next, but with his partner, he's sure that they can do anything!"

He will crush a small animal just to see what happens, and he doesn't feel back about it. In fact it tends to amuse him to kill things in different ways. He's not evil, just curious to a fault. If he's never seen it before, he wants to, and unless he's stopped by his partner, he'll do it. Since morals are not a thing yet he sees absolutely nothing wrong with what he does, so if you wanna do it this way, your being may have to be his moral compass, if we actually want them to have one.

His eyes are overlarge and shaped like a teardrop, with the iris being gold. His mouth is full and soft, his head long and thin.<br/><br/>Body: Lean and tall, he is deceptively thin. Like a willow, he will bend but not break. Underneath his clothes he is all tightly corded muscle. His skin is charcoal black. His hands are long and dexterous, allowing him to easily grab onto almost anything, but his nails are long and sharp. He stands digitigrade rather than plantigrade.<br/><br/>Clothes: A loose-fitting monk's clothes, with a separate top and bottom piece. The top robe is a light brown, while his pants are white, and the sash around his waist. He wears no shoes.<br/><br/>Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Using the energy inside it can create something, from nothing, within limits. With the help of it's counterpart it can make even more amazing things, with the potential of creating entire universes with their combined energy. In this form he can also strong and athletic, easily able to keep up with his counterpart on the ground. He can jump well, but is primarily best at moving quickly and quietly on the ground. He is coordinated, and hard to unbalance.<br/><br/>General Personality: Solid and steady, primarily placid. More inclined to watch from a calm distance than get in the think of things, and listen more than speak. The kind to learn through observation rather than action. Not easily riled or irritated, generally accommodating, although absolutely terrifying when possessed by powerful emotions, whether happy, sad, or mad. More interested in letting things go and seeing how they will work out than interfering, although Tahaan's constant interference has taught him a taste of pleasure in disruption.<br/><br/>Background: At this point, primarily interested in learning and exploring everything. However, his desire is more to nudge than shove things along."

Sound? Senses?(Well, giving the senses names I suppose since we already seem to have a few of them)*Suddenly has funny idea bout creating the Taste, Smell, and Touch senses and using them for the first time* Or should we go strait for the heart and make something to use as our plank slate.

Before those can come to be, I think there needs to be a physical form. Eyes to see, and ears to hear. Our character don't need eyes or ears to comprehend light and sound, but for it to truly be the ""senses"" I do think those things need to exist. Which means that they can't really be first. They'll come after form already exists.<br/><br/>Right now, Aysus needs a bit of time to adjust. Its whole existence, there had been nothing except itself and Tahaan. Now the whole universe is filled with<i>something</i>. It'll get better at accepting the new as more new comes to exist, but that was a big change. I'll probably have them create a few more points of light, maybe a larger sphere of light, before they embark on anything else. However, once Aysus gets past that point... Silence probably. Before sound. Because there is nothing yet to make sound, And it makes sense that Tahaan would lead the next one. And then Aysus would balance it out with sound. Which would be a small, subtle thing at this point, since the only things that can really make sound are Aysus and Tahaan.<br/><br/>A quick question: How do things that are Sound, like Song, relate? Does making sound allow for everything that relates to sound, like speaking, to exist? Or do those have to be created independently? Or, since it is an idea rather than something specific, do they become, simply by sound being?"

Tahaan, being the impatient little thing he is, will most like get working on if not complete silence in his next post.<br/><br/>Answer: I'd say once sound exists. . .Being what they are, Tahaan and Aysus will be able to make sounds, but since the implement needed for Voice does not yet exist, they can not speak. However once that is made, all things said implement, like a humanoid voice box, can do as we know it, it will be able to do. Once sound is made, using their masses I'd say out guys can make sounds with them, but until they make something to speak with, they can't talk. But once talking is made, what can talk, can sing. Understand? At least that's my thought on the matter. Which is why I see animals as being made first, the ones that make sounds without voices, like crickets and bees, and then simple voices like birds and crocks(Or stuff like them :P) Then on to the things with more complex vocal patterns, like Raptors and Cats :P"

That is still true. I just haven't given my permission to create silence within the next post. Aysus needs a moment to adjust. Give it a post or two, and then it'll be ready to go.

Although it is very doubtful that I'll get a chance to reply, I do have a couple quick things for us to think about while you are waiting on me.<br/><br/>The first thing, which came to mind as I read your last post. Tahaan mentioned that it could ""hear"" noise. I get that it is just a word with which we are familiar, and for that reason we use it, but I want to make sure that we are differentiating between sound and hearing.<br/><br/>The second thing: At some point Aysus and Tahaan are going to start building a world. I have lots of ideas about this (some of which include them restarting the universe to build something more conducive to life) but I have one thing that I want to talk about before we get to that point. How... mapped out should our world be. I have an absolute<i>obsession</i>with maps, and if you let me I've got a beautiful process in mind to create our world. It'll be damn funky, but that sounds like Aysus and Tahaan. However, there are a lot of people who just aren't interested in plotting out the world that fully, and I don't quite have a taste of how you would like to do it yet. So, I ask."

He does not have the faculties to ""Hear"" but he can sense all the changes in his own way, and hear is the best word I could come up with :P<br/><br/>I like building worlds, and if you wanna map what we make out, I'll say go ahead. As long as you don't ask me to be exacting in my square mileage, my using vague numbers as reference for most things since math kills my head. I like going into intricate detail about certain locations, quite often just throwing in ""There's a row of mountains"" then when our characters are there, sculpting them out and adding the caves and fissures and stuff :P I don't mind mapping the basic outlines of things, but I will request we save the fine detail until our characters are, say, actually traveling across the world on some adventure. I don't wanna lock us into anything then want to make some major changes later because the RP calls for it. . .So yeah, as long as we aren't going into exactly how high said mountain is, I'm good with making the world, filly and completely :P"

How is matter and space any different from light and dark, or any of the other things they have created? How is there a single spot from which the threads emerge?

Our last set goal, was to make Matter, and Space. In other words, something and nothing. However in doing that, we would be changing the very nature of the entire universe. Now, before you say we already did that, hear me out. Three of the things we've made have basically inert, nearly completely dependent on use to do anything. The only thing that seems to do anything without us, is Light. However that light, need us to be created, and without the constant flow of energy around it, would likely go out, because even if we made it, it is not a self sustaining thing, because it is not made of 'Something' yet. Or should I say, there is nothing around yet to ""Cast"" the light. The sun make light, light bulbs make light, right now, light is little more than a concept.<br/><br/>Anyways, back to my thought. Science crap: My idea revolves around the concept that all things in the universe are created of Matter and Energy, so the opposite of all that would be Anti-matter(space where there is no matter(I know that's not what anti-matter is in Star Trek terms, but meh. . . Or is it?)) and. . . .? I fell on that for a bit, so, I came up with a different formula. I can see out universe being made up of Mtter and Positive energy, and Anti-matter(Space) and Negative energy. Setting aside the whole idea that Matter and Anti-matter can not meet (Since we don't have to follow true sci-fi rules in our Sci-fi :P) this whole idea would open the door to converting Energy to Matter, and vice versa, as we go along.<br/><br/>Just in case, I thought up some examples. Sound is created through the vibration of Matter, and is silenced through traveling through Space. The vibrating matter uses Energy to vibrate, but once it is used, the energy vanishes. I know the laws of the universe says that everything flows in an endless cycle, but if you think about it, where does that bio energy go after powering your muscles, turning into heat, and floating into the air? If we crate our universe in this idea I cam up with, the heat would dissipate into negative energy, and would be used for negative energy purposes. This way, we don't have to worry(As I was for a little while) about how negative energy will still have a place with all this matter and (To my eyes) positive energy comes about. A human growing? Positive energy/matter. A human aging? Negative energy/matter.<br/><br/>Now, back to the threads themselves. If the threads are converted to creating Matter, and by default, positive energy, then the spaces around them would be given purpose, and given a shape of their own, perhaps ribbons(*Wink* *Wink* *Smile*) and would take on the qualities of Anti-matter(Space) and negative energy, making working with bother easier and a more tangible thing. Right now, we both know Light and Sound are far more tangible than Darkness and Silence, if we work both of those into their rightful places, I can see them inspiring our beings into understanding better the world around them, and taking away a touch of the unknown so it becomes less disturbing for both of them.<br/><br/>But, again, if you hate my idea and don't want to be so grandiose with it, I can change my post and make things a heck of a lot simpler. . . .I won't mind too much since we are creating this world together and I should know by now not to suddenly make big decisions like this without you. I just didn't wanna end up with another month long discussion and was hoping it would make sense to you without explaining, and perhaps you would throw in your own ideas about all this too. I had this funny visual of the ""Nothing"" taking form and Tahaan poking at this somehow familiar but odd new thing he didn't intend for them to make exactly :P"

I would be very cool with this idea if we had started with energy and matter as our opposites. But our opposites are positive and negative, and we are weaving everything into being from a combination of those two things. I don't think matter would be purely positive energy, while space would be purely negative energy. Just like all of the things have been a weaving of the two. This is also a case where I don't see energy and matter as opposites. Matter and space are the opposites, but if we are trying to relate it to energy as well we suddenly have a triumvirate, which throws off the balance we have established thus far.<br/><br/>I don't have a problem with grandiose. I do agree that matter and space are going to be a massive change from that which they have always known. But I'd like to know what you think of what I've said."

I'm not a science person, but I thought this would be neat.<br/><br/>Oh, and energy and matter aren't opposites, I don't know if I said that, but if I did, that was a slip-up.<br/><br/>*Doesn't wanna try and figure* I'll just redo it. . .

I guess this is another moment where my imperfect and rather selective recall comes into play...<br/><br/>Could we compromise at a middle point?

I could go for two sources, one negative, one positive, however that would mean that the closer we are to one or the other, the stronger said energy would become and the nature of the threads would be off. . .To me at least.

My main problem was the fact that there were to be an infinite number of threads entering the universe constantly from a single point. My brain couldn't quite wrap around that. Having a single source of energy and threads works for me, so long as it releases at an infinite number of points.<br/><br/>So long as we are clarifying things, let me make a few statements, and see if you see them as true. The source releases both threads and energy, and the source releases both positive and negative energy. Threads are a type of energy, but are a condensed form of either positive or negative energy that allows Tahaan and Aysus to manipulate it easier. The things that are made are made by a weaving of both positive and negative threads. They are determined by which type of thread is dominant in the weaving pattern, and the pattern in which they are woven, as well."

Let's see if I can pose this the way I see it. . .<br/><br/>The source releases threads, which are energy, each thread made up of both positive and negative energy, condensed that way for Tahaan and Aysus to manipulate easier. The things are made by weaving with the threads, comprised of both types of energy, and the way they are weaved will lead the result to either be mostly positive or mostly negative, the remaining bits of thread left over what is to be used to create the balance of the original creation. The threads left over will almost never be pure negative, or pure positive, so that each creation will be made of both, to help find that stability the source seeks, however every creation will be more one than the other.<br/><br/>So, other than a few minor bits, we mostly agree, I think :P What I have up there is just how my head wraps about it.<br/><br/>Oh, and, glad the multi-points theory works for you :P"

I'm good at writing these articles, but I completely blank when it comes to choosing what subjects about which I should write. Any useful spitballing for me?"

Like, if the main character will need to be travelling a lot, making up interesting scenery and actual things of note, along with how the road system works, or with flying as the main mode of transportation, deciding what the flight is and how it is handled(Like do they fly on their own, or on flying cats or hover cars) how far apart things are, and so on. Or for another example, if the main point is, say, the need to gather something together, like my dad's ""Rod of 7 Parts"" which is used to seal the door of hell forever, the main focus should be coming up with these special places for the special items to be held or stored, what worldly obstacles you can put in the way. If the focus is more on the people, say it's about a kingdom or planet recovering from some catastrophe, then the focus would be around the people, and the need to find ways for the event to have affected the world would be more important than, say, the specifics of a mountain range that may or may not ever be seen.<br/><br/>so, that is the core of my input. Finding the center of whatever the story is about from within, and from there grow the world around it. Like, with our RP. Between us, the actual point IS world building, so we started with simple characters, nothing much going on, but with the steady will towards change we are growing it as naturally as we can through our avatars, feeling each other's intentions out, and our characters are building, growing, and evolving. We began with the natural elements, as all worlds must, and from there we will move on to creating more of the flavor, with our core of needing to build already having given us a world in which that very goal is quite comfortable and workable.<br/><br/>So, that's me talking naturally. I am quite out f my mind, so forgive me if it makes no sense, but that's what came to my mind first :P Enjoy :P"

To me, the weave, as you call it, is the mix of energies that come together to make what we want them to make. Each weave is created in perfect balance, and even though Tahaan or Aysus can add or subtract positive and negative energy from the creation, the base composition will never change. Light will always be light, though adding a certain energy will change it's brightness or color. The bits are matter, and though Tahaan is changing them by adding negative energy and mixing them together, they will always be matter. I personally don't wanna go more technical than that.

The weave is to me a literal weaving of the threads of the universe, rather like one would weave a quilt. Except this weave does not simply go over and under. It is more like a... 3D weave. But the nature of the weave determines what something is, and even a tiny shift in the weave makes it into something new. Every tiny, infinitesimal part of the weave forms the identity of the thing that it composes.<br/><br/>Also, you say you are a fantasy writer, but then you start talking about CO2 and O2, and changing the matter being like changing an atom.

The changes I'm talking about. . . . . Say that when matter was made, it was made with all the potential to become any KIND of matter. Small shifts in the energy can change them that little bit. But, say. . .We make wood. Nothing can change that from being wood. Even when turned to coal, it is still wood. However, others can turns that wood into coal, or into a sculpture, or into a house. That's what I see Tahaan doing. He's taking the building blocks and, int he wood example, shaving and carving it, fitting it together with others, and making the thing already there into something different without actually changing it. He is not changing the weave, not at all. The weave is the very fiber of the bit, he's just messing with the aspects of the bit, like changing wood to coal. Make sense?

But it is not possible to make any of the things in our world that are physical just through matter, without first making a new weave, and one that is more intricate, because it needs to include more elements. I don't see Tahaan and Aysus as making building blocks, and then tweaking them and combining them to make new things, I see every unique thing in the universe as being a whole separate weave.<br/><br/>See? Complicated. lol"

What separates earth from matter? By creating matter, we've basically covered everything physical, and that is, in reality, most of our world.<br/><br/>I don't think it is necessary for us to roleplay out every time our characters weave. There are going to be times when they, a) weave multiple things at once or b) we simply say that they did it. Right now we are describing every weaving because it is highly significant. I don't think that the weaving is always going to be that important to the story. At that point, it won't matter if our characters have to weave everything for the first time, because we won't be having to describe all of it. There will be other things that primarily take up our focus."

My math indicates that earth = weave + matter. Tahaan can not make earth because he can not weave alone. He can however put pieces of matter together to make big bulky clumps of matter. This matter does nothing, it's like flour I guess. Alone, flour is just a bland, tasteless chalk, but by adding different thing you can make cake and breading :P I'll just scrub out the ability to change the energy in the matter, it'll make this problem go away I hope."

I could see that. It is kind of a mixture of what I proposed with what you see, because things can be refined into other things, but only through weaving.

She is content to follow. We both take point, and she inserts pieces that bring the story and the world to life. But we are both dominant roleplayers, and the directions that we instinctively try and take stories don't line up. Our ideas on what is and is not necessary for the world, our ideas of magic, our ideas of people, our need to set down details or leave things open ended, somehow they always seem to be opposite. If we try and lay down everything in advance so that we both know what we need to know it takes so long and goes back and forth so much that it seems to become impossible. If we leave things open ended we wander in different directions with different beliefs, and then when one of us realizes this we are forced to realign, and we go back and forth until one of us gets frustrated enough to fold to the other's wishes.<br/><br/>I want to fix it, because I know I'm one of the most talented RPers most people come across. And that may sound vain, but it means when I find a partnership that gets me to think and to push my ideas a little bit, I want to keep it. But at the same time, I don't know if ""fixing it"" is possible. I've had to learn really quickly whether a story is going to work or not, because most of the time my partners abandon me quickly, and when I find myself consistently postponing my replies, no matter how many or how few posts there are, I know that something isn't working.<br/><br/>Maybe we should just... try again.

But a series of people in his life were able to teach him a little bit about mercy and love, just enough that a young woman with a bright face, kind eyes, and gentle hands could tempt him to stray. He fled with her, and for ten years and two children they lived in peace. But the man who had raised him, trained him, and bet his whole future upon this perfect assassin would never forgive him.<br/><br/>Ten years exactly after he fled from the organization, his old boss, his father and mentor, tracked him down and slaughtered his family.<br/><br/>The policeman had never understood love. He ran away from home when he was young, and life tormented him until he nearly broke. The rules became his salvation. They were clear-cut, and left nothing to the imagination. Even his own broken heart could follow them. He joined the police and slowly worked his way up, a dedicated and ruthless dog, unbribable and with nothing to hold him back.<br/><br/>There was something about that case that caught his attention. Something in the face of the man who had just lost his whole family, a sadness so deep that it could only be called rage, mixed with an iron-hard focus.<br/><br/>The police never caught the criminals responsible for the murder, but the man returned to his home two months after the murder, and he seemed to have obtained some level of peace. The policeman never forgot about that look in his eyes. The man had owned a small, home cooked restaurant right near the police station, and now that he returned he re-opened it. The policeman started consistently going there to eat for lunch, and the two men eventually struck up an easy friendship.<br/><br/>At the same time, people were starting to turn up dead across the city. They were all criminals; rapists, murderers, thieves, gangsters, the ones the police knew about but could never touch. The policeman is convnced that the man is behind it, even though he has no evidence. The vigilante needs the information from the police to select his next kills. Both hide their deep mistrust and broken past behind smiling faces. Both hate the need to associate with the other, yet, even when they don't need to, they find themselves returning to the only other person who shares the broken rage of their own hearts."

He'd loved each and every one of them, and like any man who's lost everything, he seeks two things: Revenge, and oblivion. After wiping out the town responsible for the attack, he decides to also hunt down the order that insited the townsfolk into attacking. He becomes very skilled at killing the vampire hunters, and soon it almost becomes routine. One night, during a particularly hard slay, he is wounded badly and takes refuge in an old abandoned abbey. The next morning a young man comes to the abbey and startles the elder, who on instinct drain the young man to near death. Something about the boy makes him unable to take his life fully, and instead he turns him, making the boy his new child. Unable to live on his own now, the boy stays with the elder, trying to understand not only his new existence, but the elder's crusade. The elder tires desperately not to care for the young one, unwilling to open his heart to the pain of loss again, but perhaps his heart of stone can be crumbled by this new life he's brought into this world. (IICB the elder)<br/><br/>A young upstart vampire, only a few weeks old, but with a group of followers already, decides he wants power and decides to try and take over a territory held by one of the oldest vampires known. No one has seen the vampire in ages, but his servants and slaves keep the property neat and tidy, and defend the territory when threatened. Wanting to do things quickly, he takes it upon himself to enter the estate and cut off the head of the snake so to speak. This is no small task, but once he finds the elder and is ready to strike, the elder shows him why he has reigned over such a large territory for so long. Over the following weeks he teaches the how to respect his elders. However, the elder has begun to grow tired of ruling and begins pondering the idea of a successor. Perhaps leave the estate to someone else, after proper training, and travel the world. Perhaps the kid has some potential. (Again ,IICB the elder)<br/><br/>Scientists have worked for hundreds of years to build the perfect soldier. Implants, neural enhancements, even gene manipulation, all to create the perfect killing machine and soldier. War has almost become a pastime for the planets in a fairly expansive solar system. The system is off limits for travelers, but the occasional ship does make it through the barricade to make deliveries or return to their supply depots. One such delivery provides a scientist with exactly what he needs to create what he believes will be the perfect soldier. He injects his creation into a young test subject, transforming it from a normal teenager into a fierce killer. Enhanced strength, eyesight, reflexes, and unprecedented healing abilities. Perfect, save for the built in control device. If the subject doesn't consume blood laced with a particular additive every three months, it will die. Before he can train the boy properly, it escapes on to an out going cargo ship and the lab can not track him. The cargo ship is small, with a crew of one, and the man must decide what to do with his stowaway. (IICB the stowaway)<br/><br/>I'd also like to take this moment to throw out a space adventure story that revolves around a man and a sentient ship. Yup. :)<br/><br/>The beast has always felt, just a little different from his fellows, and after a particularly bad incident with his pack mates he leaves for the nearest human settlement to let them cool their heads. There he comes across a young apprentice who is often mistreated by his fellow humans. Feeling a kind of kinship with the young human the beast worms his way into the young man's good graces and becomes his pet, the boy none the wiser as to the magical nature of the beast. After some time the boy decides to leave the settlement, tired of the treatment, and travels together with the beast, trying to find a place to call home. The best stays by the boy's side, however in their travels they often meet with other magical beasts that to not appreciate the beast's presence. The humans know nothing of the magical animals, and the beast must work hard with each clash he has with his clan that the boy never finds out. (IICB the beast)<br/><br/>There. I read it aaaaaall. And you are getting nothing more from me. Hmph.<br/><br/>:)"

I little. . . .Convenient, but not impossible. I would like to note a point of interest that, on the whole, your main species seem to have almost exclusively a kind of hive mentality, making them interestingly compatible and bringing up questions on just how, or I should say what, you personally see as a perfect ruling body.<br/><br/>Oh, and by individual ruling bodies I meant the personal laws each planet holds. Like, the council runs the empire, but the Uetie have their sub rulers of the queens and so forth. You know, now that I look at it, you yourself state several times that there are multiple governments so now I am confused. . . . .<br/><br/>I can not say with 100% certainty that I completely understand all the math, but despite my lack of full comprehension, it seems sound. I'm not just saying that. It really looks quite comprehensive.<br/><br/>I am not sure what to make of the fact that they break their own rules of noninterference. I may be getting just a little to Star Trek but it seems a little wrong for such an expansive peace oriented ruling body to carry on a ""Do as I say, not as I do"" policy.<br/><br/>That's all I can pull off the top of my head. Sorry if any of this is wrong/annoys you."

I can see that with the Uetie, because I specifically said they did, and kind of with the Syastin, kind of, but may I ask how you got that from the Vollori and the Arak'un? I don't see them as being much different from a human's loyalty to a country, albeit a bit more strictly enforced in some cases.<br/><br/>Oh! Yes, each planet does have an individual ruling body. I suppose those would qualify... Now I feel a bit foolish. I didn't really think I specifically addressed any of them. I guess it is because I was pretty focused on the empire as a whole, and didn't really feel that I specifically addressed any of the individual ruling bodies that I said they aren't really there. I meant that I didn't think they were in a position to be discussed, I guess. But if you have something you want to say about each, by all means!<br/><br/>Thank you! It took me a little while, because I always believed that it would be impossible for a single government to control something as vast as a galaxy, but I'm glad I've made it work.<br/><br/>As far as the breaking of the ""Prime Directive,"" that isn't done just on a whim, but is rather done through the councils. Think of it like drilling for oil in a national park. Normally it would never be allowed, but if the state of Texas would go into complete economic collapse if they didn't get that oil, and there was no other oil anywhere else, the Federal Government might allow Texas to drill in one of their National Parks. But before they would do that they'd try and find other oil, or bargain for oil from another country. The Empire wouldn't want to break their rule of protection, but they would to preserve one of the governments within their body if there was<i>absolutely</i>no other alternative. Does that make more sense?<br/><br/>Thank you very much for being willing to do this. Do you want to move on to a different area, or have you got anything else to say right now for this?"

Yeah, that last race not so much, but the Vollori also fall into that category as well with the way they manage their race. Kinda like a Borg collective. I'll talk about the individual government things I saw later. :P<br/><br/>Oh, and it makes perfect sense, but at the same time, like I said, I'm bit Trekkie in mentality and find that if the reason for breaking the law is. . . .Hmm, how to put this. . . . .Selfish is the wrong word, but it's the first one that jumps to mind. It's invading them because it's what the empire wants/needs rather than doing it to make the beings on the planet’s life better. See what I'm saying? If the reason is not a kindness toward the people on the planet, it's setting a bad example. Not saying it's a major downfall or anything, just a personal perspective on it.<br/><br/>Also, on the hive mentality thing. . .It's not exactly meant as a mean thing. While the Borg are definitely bad guys, the fact that your empire makes me think of them raises a question in the back of my mind at the moral implications of how your empire works. It also makes me think of the word communism, and as a human who knows humans can not work for our race, it makes me wonder how we AS humans would be able to relate to these characters and they way they think. Don't get me wrong, communism works on a very small scale, but once you go over a certain number of people, humans no longer can function in such a society :P Also, not saying the empire is a communist society, it just makes me think of one.<br/><br/>Heh, TShara actually got mad at me when I said these things about your empire, mostly because of that first though up there in my last post on what you see as a perfect society :P Got in a debate about people's writing revealing things about them, and she thought I was insulting you. I didn't show her the thing you sent me, just made some offhanded comments.<br/><br/>We can move on if you have nothing to say about above :P"

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but now I am curious.<br/><br/>Yes, it is a bit... that word you can't quite find. Self-centered perhaps. But part of this government is that not everything gets equal weight. This isn't a democratic society. It may be a republic, but not everyone's voice is always put into consideration. Besides, no matter what choice the Empire makes, it will always be putting someone else's needs above someone else. If they choose not to disturb the planet at all ever, they are basically saying that the life forms on that planet is more important than the life forms that are already a part of the Empire that need the resources. And that would not be a good way to create Harmony. Because that is the goal of the Empire. It doesn't give a rats ass about kindness, so long as there is harmony in all things. Most of the time, Kindness and Harmony go hand in hand, but not always.<br/><br/>And I have no problem with the word communist. Uetie society is communist, but it works for them because they aren't so goddamn selfish that they can't set aside their own good for the good of everyone else. :D Vollori government is heavily socialist, with a few modifications of my own design. I'm not sure what the Syastin are, and the Arak'un are capitalist/socialist, but, yes. I don't think pure capitalism can be maintained for the time it would take to build an intergalactic empire, so the one capitalist society that existed in this introduction brought itself to ruin. Sue me. :)"

They did not know happiness nor joy. So, one day, the people gathered together, and with a wizards help: built a doll that would dance and sing for them to cheer up their spirits. Aria was then born and she sung happy songs and danced around, bring laughter and light to a time that was once dark.

She puts everyone else's needs before her own and she will go out of her way to help people. She generally is very passive and keeps out of arguments though she will, at times, leap into one to try and calm everyone down; without any regards to her own safety. She is very shy to people she doesn't know but once she gets to know someone she is very bubbly and gentle. She hardly ever yells or raises her voice and in the midst of violence she tends to flee to somewhere quiet. She enjoys reading or drawing and does so to calm down, though she hardly ever shows her drawings to anyone. Mary is very insecure and is full of doubts about herself. She gets flustered very easily and tends to stutter and blush before she finally just gives up and hides her face. She hates making people upset and tends to become upset herself, and in most cases crying and apologizing.<br/><br/>~History~<br/>There once lived a great artist named Weiss Guertena. He painted and created many master pieces. His inspiration was his precious daughter, Mary. She was the light of his life and he loved her with all of his heart. But one day Mary fell ill and never recovered. She was bed-ridden for three months and eventually withered away to nothing. Guertena was distraught over the loss of his daughter. He fell into a deep depression and tried anything he could think of that might bring his daughter back. Eventually, he was left with no option but to turn to witchcraft. He painted a portrait of his daughter, pouring his entire soul into the artwork. He spent months on it and when it was finally finished he performed a dark spell that brought the painting to life. At first, Guertena was overjoyed that he had his daughter back but after a time he realized that the little girl standing in front of him was not his daughter but an empty shell with his daughters face. He went mad and eventually killed himself, leaving poor Mary all alone.<br/><br/>~Talents~<br/>She is a very good artist</center>"

The guard was then knocked out. He then gathers both his guns and tossed a pistol to Dutch. Dutch then remarked, ""Don't you have a built-in gun or something."" Dave then just said, ""Yeah, they removed the trigger wire though."". Dutch then shook his head.<br/>Dave then shot the unconcious guard. Dave ran though the hallway and came to a doorway with a sign that said ""C-4"" Dave then said, ""Damn, wrong way."" Dutch then slowly follows behind, a bit worried about his companion's mental stability.<br/><br/>Dave then ran down back to the cell room and then stops and he is out breath. While Dutch is just fine. Upon arriving at the main cell room, there is about five guards dead on the floor and several prisoners still in there cells, now trapped since they didn't leave when the power flickered off. Dave, after regaining his breath, ran down the diagonal hallway. At the end of the hallway, he found an elevator. Dave gets into the elevator, and sees that he needs some kind of card or something to activate it.<br/>Dave then walks to the cell room of C-3 and up to a dead guard. He searches the body, and finds a wallet. He opens the wallet to find a bit of cash, a card that says ""Elevator key"", and pictures of what you can presume to be the guards kids. He just takes the wallet and hands it to Dutch, expect for the elevator key. Dutch was just sitting at the elevator just letting Dave do the work.<br/><br/>The elevator buttons where labelled one though nine. Dave then hit two, and swiped the card. The doors closed and the elevator went up. Upon arriving at two, the doors opened to what appears to be a kitchen with several cooks about. Dave steps out of the elevator and raises his shotgun and says ""Get on the ground."" The cooks drop everything in their hands and drop the ground.<br/><br/>Dave tells Dutch to knock out all of the cooks and search for rope. The cooks cowered and one even started to cry. Dutch just hit them all in turn and knocked them. Dave tells Dutch to go down one of the hallway while he goes down the other. Dutch comes to what appears to be food storage, while Dave comes to what appears to be gerenal supplies and storage. Daves searches for anything useful, and quickly finds rope."

But on the cooks, who looks to be the youngest one in the group, speaks up, ""What.. What do you want from us. We don't have much. Could.. Could... You just let... us go?""<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Dutch realized that if he wanted to survive, he is going to need some food. Who knows how long before... well, before something happens.

He is also arrogent and quite devious, though can be lazy or commited to something on a whim. He likes money and food, and hates pain and snot-nosed rich people.<br/><br/>Nevaeh, captain of the guard on Layer C-3. She is very serious and almost always remains calm. She is a full-human, but an empath who has light telekinesis and the ability to shot balls of physic energy. She has a night-stick able to shot bolts of energy, as well as a piston and sniper rifle.

So far he had learned nothing what so everm other than the fact that strange stick people known as humans live in cities. Sonic also learned that a few stands sold chili dogs, his favorite food.

With this he is able to conceal seeds of different plants with such stealth that the opponent doesn't realize it until it has already happened.<br/><br/>Chou Kagon Retsuzanshi: A more devastating form of the Rose Whip.<br/><br/>Rose Whip Thorn Wheel: Kurama draws the Rose Whip and swings it around him in a circle, as rose petals scatter around and stun his opponents, while the wheel created from the whip unleashes cresent-shaped energy blades.<br/><br/>Petals and Thorns: A whirlwind of razor-sharp rose petals materializes in the palm of Kurama's hand and then swirling around him. If an opponent/attacker gets within a certain range, the petals attack and rip them to shreds. Kurama mainly uses this technique as a barrier or to take out large numbers of weaker demons.<br/><br/>seed of the death plant:This is a small seed that Kurama plants in his opponent's body and can be manipulated using his demon energy. After it has had enough time to secure its roots within the victim's body, the death plant bursts forth from within, killing the opponent.<br/><br/>Death Tree: A Demon World plant, the Death Tree is a root-based plant that contains huge mouths at the end of each root. It is a carnivorous tree with an acidic saliva capable of melting flesh and bone easily. Instinctively it strikes anything that moves.<br/><br/>Ojigi plant: A plant indigenous to South America. When grown with demon energy, it mutates into a creature that responds to movements or heat by closing its leaves around its prey and crushing it to death. It is considered the demon world equivalent of the mimosa plant, but unlike its human world counterpart, which withdraws in response to a presence, this demonic plant actually pursues any heat it notices.<br/><br/>Blood sucking plant: A special Demon World plant that can attach itself to its victim and drain them of their blood before blossoming into a beautiful, rose-like, flower once it has drained enough blood from its victim.<br/><br/>Accelerated Growth: Kurama is able to speed up the rate of growth of plants, allowing him to create a forest in mere seconds as a means of hiding himself. He can also control the plants he grew to do certain tasks.<br/><br/>Lamp Weed: Plants that act as markers for Kurama to find his way back.<br/><br/>Sinning Tree: This plant appears as ""wings"", similar to that of a butterfly, on Kurama's back that double as a glider.<br/><br/>The Binding Fist of the Demonic Vine: Similar to the Rose Whip in that it is composed of a vine with thorns, but this time it grows around Kurama's arm and is wielded as a sword-like weapon.<br/><br/>Yoko form: kurama can also switch into his Yoko form at pretty much will.<br/><br/>Bamboo Forest: An unnamed technique that transforms the plant first into a spear, and then by striking the ground with said spear, a large number of bamboo pikes burst out of the ground and impales the opponent several times.<br/><br/>Species: Fox Demon.<br/>Appearance(s):<br/><br/>Human:<img src=""https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8_hhkISp8Fs/TXL0Z8myWcI/AAAAAAAAAA8/uTNM4DXrAio/s748/imagesfgsd.jpeg""/><br/><br/>Demon:<img src=""http://www.sharewallpapers.org/d/282600-2/1024Yu+Yu+Hakusho4676.jpg""/><br/><br/>From: Yu Yu Hakusho.<br/><br/>Other: He is extremely perceptive, able to quickly recognize the patterns and mistakes that his opponents make, which gives him an edge. In battle, while his preference is to concoct strategies based on deduction of his opponents' fighting abilities and style, his natural battle instincts are also highly tuned.<br/><br/>Took Forever to get this up mainly because it was difficult to decide. also i'm not as smart as Kurama so I may do some things that he wouldn't. I'll do my best to RP as him."

Levi made Armin cry after Eren had spoke out against Levi and Armin tried to convince levi not to hurt Eren. Kurama then threatened Levi that he would show him 'pain' should Levi make Armin cry again while he was around. Several others namely Tris and Reimu didn't want a fight to break out and simply put one didn't. also Kurama revealed his demon energy in the form of a red aura although unless someone knows what demon energy is it shouldn't be recognizable.

In later battles he often wins (or at least counters) by using the versatility of his spirit blades, finding a unique application to it that would be most appropriate to the situation. His high sixth sense rarely plays a role in his battles, though he has used it to avoid foes and sense danger. As the moral core of the team, he is more prone to become stronger when his friends and innocents are present or in danger.<br/><br/>Abilities:<br/>High Spirit Awareness: Kuwabara is stated as being able to hear and feel the presence of ghosts, but are only able to see them when asleep. As the series progresses, the usage and amount of his spiritual abilities and energy becomes stronger, enabling him to form increasingly powerful spiritual ""swords"" to fight his enemies. It seems to be that Kuwabara's energy only emerges at full power whenever he is close to death, in a very dangerous situation, or both.<br/><br/>Telepathy: Kuwabara has the ability to mentally read and project thoughts.<br/><br/>Precognition: Later on in the series, it is shown that Kuwabara is able to see visions of future events and of events surrounding circumstances<br/><br/>Superhuman Physical Strength & Endurance: Kuwabara possesses raw physical strength to a superhuman degree. Many times throughout the series he is shown to take the most brutal beatings out of all the main characters, yet continues to get up and fight on many occasions, such as with his fights with Byakko in the Demon World or his Dark Tournament battle with Rinku, where he left his opponent literally frightened at the sight of him standing. Kuwabara was able to withstand a kick from Rinku, which according to the latter was strong enough to break a person's neck.<br/><br/>Spirit Kick: Along with Yusuke, he is seen surrounding his foot with energy to strengthen his kicks.<br/><br/>Spirit Transfusion: Kuwabara is skilled at manipulating his spirit energy. He transfers his spirit energy into Yusuke's body so that Yusuke doesn't die, being able to transfer such a large amount that Kuwabara was knocked out as well. He also exhibits the ability to reabsorb small amounts of spirit energy released in maintaining his Spirit Sword after his battle with Byakko.<br/><br/>Spirit Sword: This is Kuwabara's signature attack, where he creates a sword comprised only of his Spirit Energy. Its strength depends on how much energy Kuwabara focuses into it<br/><br/>Energy Deflection: He can use the sword to repel energy-based techniques by swinging it like a baseball bat.<br/><br/>Spirit Sword Javelin: Kuwabara's power seems to be derived from a form of materialization; the act of manifesting his spirit energy into the shape of a blade. After gaining full control, Kuwabara can increase the length of his sword at will. Kuwabara is able to bend and lengthen his sword at will . This attack enables him to attack his opponent from a distance, and also act as a javelin or a pole vault in order to both leap great distances or survive falls from great heights.<br/><br/>Double Spirit Sword: Kuwabara develops this technique, where he can materialize two swords at once, one for each hand.<br/><br/>Spiritual Strike: Kuwabara extends his Spirit Sword and uses his advanced Spirit Awareness to manipulate the weapon's flexibility so that it exhibits a type of tracking feature in order to hit its target.<br/><br/>Spirit Sword Shards: This is a technique where Kuwabara produces small bolts of energy from his hands, similar to shuriken, and shoots the smaller spirit blades at the opponent.<br/><br/>Dimension Sword An enhanced version of Kuwabara's Spirit Sword that enables him to literally cut through dimensional barriers and psychic territory. An immense energy is concentrated into his spirit sword, improving its strength tremendously. Kuwabara is seen using the Dimension Sword to halve distances, effectively making a shortcut in order to stop a terrorist attack on the Spirit World, suggesting an ability to generate a space-time tear as a type of wormhole. It also appears to be able to seal itself up afterwards, suggesting that this technique does not scar reality.<br/>Species: Human (Psychic)<br/><br/>Appearance(s):<img src=""http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/10/100757/1942471-kuwabara03c.jpg""/><br/><br/>From: Yu Yu Hakusho<br/><br/>Other: Kuwabara is extremely loyal to his friends and has a very strict code of honor. He would do anything for his friends and for love. He can be clumsy, reckless, and is also stubborn, persistent, and also has a great sense of humor. He doesn't give up a fight, even if he's injured. He has a temper, but not as bad as Yusuke's. He has a kind heart and an honest nature. He does not fight girls. Kuwabara is considered the kindest of the main characters. Kuwabara is also not a swordsman so his attacks with the spirit sword can be rather clumsy."

Greap's rage for them resorted him to tricking, deceiving, and eventually devouring the souls of two innocent deities. In doing so, he had also absorbed natural abilities (Dimensional Jumping/Shape shifting). Greap has a strong hobby of collecting jewelry, money and other sorts of income from the recently deceased. He keeps a large, humongous pile of this ""treasure"" in another realm, the same one he's always escaping to via the ""rip"". Greap's other interests usually involve flirting with girls, or tricking girls into contracted, miserable ""dates"". When the reaper needs to do something, he'll usually manipulate someone else into doing it out of laziness.<br/><br/><b>Weapons/Powers/Abilities:</b><br/><br/>[center]The ability to slip in and out of the dimension as he pleases via a small, ""rip"" like portal.<br/><br/>The ability to change his appearance to almost anyone he desires.<br/><br/>The natural ability and obligatory occupation of consuming souls of the deceased.<br/><br/>The very strange ability examined when someone touches Greap. If someone were to make the action of making physical contact with him, they will become severely ill. They will not die, and they will recover. The effects can last from two hours to even a few years depending on how long the contact was with Greap.<br/><br/>The ability to grant someone a wish via a bet/deal. Usually, Greap tries his best to outsmart the challenger, but surprisingly enough he is easily tricked himself.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/><b>Clinkz the Bone Fletcher</b><br/><br/><div class=""hider-panel"">

The moon was out, moonlight pouring in from the high branches over in Nightmare territory. Just like Hades liked it. Perched up upon a low hanging branch, he stretched along it and seemed to blend perfectly into it. Only his eyes could be seen, faintly, if you got too close. He was at the edge of his land that bordered that of the Sunny Alps. After a few crisp moments of silence, a few faint screams could be heard. Hades perked up his ears, listening carefully to the sound. It was human, for sure. But it seemed like a scared, terrified screaming. ""Alister..."" Hades growled under his breath. He was the only one who could use terror so effectively, and wasn't a part of Hades' pack. Well, he was in the pack at one time... Until he couldn't follow orders anymore. A few minutes went by before Hades could hear footsteps in the distance. Looking out over his perch, he could make out a group of individuals, humanoid. But they were carrying something... Guns. It seemed like that could spell disaster... He could help, but it's not like the humans were in his territory. Hades is just gonna sit this one out, and let that outcast finish what he started.

""Maybe he has gotten stronger... But he hasn't gotten any smarter. Letting them go like that. He's still weak in his mind and his heart."" Suddenly, a low humming could be heard. It was far away at first, but it was coming closer. And quick. Then there was more of the same noise, and they were all getting louder. Hades stood up and looked out into the distance. It seemed they were driving some kind of jeeps, these didn't look like civilians or the police. It was the military. It seemed that the woods protecting Nightmare territory were too thick to drive in, so they settled along the border in between the sunny and lunar alps, about the point where the three territories met. There had to be about a hundred, if not more, each armed with guns and knew how to use them. Light machine guns were mounted to the backs of the jeeps as well. Some of the men, scouts, led on foot to scout. One squad per territory, while the rest stayed and waited. Hades erupted in a large howl, a deep, loud and menacing one that seemed to shake the ground beneath him. It was the cry for war. It was time for battle. Nightmare wolves started calling back to him, getting into ambush positions. ""The minute they step into these forest, we attack! No survivors!"""

My pack are being hunted down and many of our fae have been taken away from us. I need your help, Almighty Fenris had already moved what remain of our pack to safety but I want to rescue those left behind"". The Auran Alpha known as Miketa looked at Telira but shock her head ""I can't help you Queen Telira, not when we have the human pushing at our own walls"". Nightmare Alpha known as Hydra looked at Telira and nodded ""I have enough members to help you my queen, give us the word and we will come"". The mortan Alpha nodded and said he could spare some pack as well. The Life Pack lead by an Elder wolf who was blind in one eye shock his head as well ""We are dealing with Human at our own barrier as well, some black magic has turned our FOrest of life into a snowy wasteland nearly"". Telira looked sad but she thanked the Alphas of Nightmare and Mortan.<br/>The image then skipped forward, to a super human camp where the small pack of 20 wolves who were a mixture of Nightmare, Mortan and what remained of the Soul pack. They were using powers to their advantage and it showed how quickly they took down guards and dogs when they worked together but then the Image took on the dark side of what happen as it showed many of the fae of Soul pack being used as breeding tools by the humans dogs in tents that were in such terrible state. Some had even be killed by how rough the dogs were, Telira eyes widened as she saw the things that had happen to her once Proud and noble pack. Many had been broken and turned into Obedient breeding slaves, some of there Humans forms had been used the same way by the humans before the image vanished leaving nothing but an emptiness.<br/>Fenris looked at Renee and Alistor as he said ""The fate of many of those fae is shocking, I know. Many were mercy killed by what remained of the Soul pack because of how badly things had been for them, others gave birth to hybirds of dog and wolf who were outcasts among the pack. Most of them never found another wolf mate. Telira herself died not a week later from a broken heart and a illness that had come from that human camp. The soul pack ended up fighting among itself causing a wolf war which wipe out other packs. Auran step in and took charge of the warring tribes and that it how they became the dominate wolfs"""

Anyways we should start figuring out where the humans will start invading our lands once again, plus Spring for us and the humans is coming through these lands fast. So we have to start up are plan soon, but for now we will have to prepare for battle against the humans who is invading our lovely lands."" she said to Stealth and Feniris.<br/><br/>Rikinana:<br/><br/>she giggled a little to what stealth said about the wind can scare humans away. she looked at him and smiled as she nodded in agreement to what stealth said to her. well that is quite true, that wind can make creepy noises as it blows through the forest . Mainly the wind starts making creepy sounds through the skeleton of trees on the harvest moon and on Howl-o-ween night as well when the sky is cloudy with a lovely blood red moon in the sky.<br/><br/>Valentinia:<br/><br/>just smiled "" well lets plan out our positions in our lovely plan to scare off the humans before are breeding season arrives, and like Renee said it is coming towards quicker than we thought it would come around. so Stealth and father Feniris we need to set this plan up as fast as we can before our breeding time comes around this year."" she said to Feniris ad stealth as her tail wagged.<br/><br/>the other alphas also agreed to what Valentinia and Renee said to them. Zair just sighed in annoyance in hearing that the breeding season was rushing around the corner before they could even dispose of the humans. Taiyo just listened and felt excitement rushing through his soul as he listened to the others, Gelos just laid down in front of Iceblaze as she listened to the conversation among the alphas and the creator of the wolven kind."

Valentinia nodded "" yep the super humans is are main priority to get rid of, we just need to scare off the normal humans invading our lands with the super ones. So we have to be careful during the fight for our lands to protect us from any terror in the future for our young ones won't need to worry about safety in the beginning of their lives. we will have to protect them greatly if the super humans come and hunt us down again, since the females aren't fit for fighting after they have their young. so if they attacked again during that time we will be defenseless, so it will be up to our partners to protect us greatly with their body and soul.

Rikinana and the others listened to the plan hoping it will play out well in the end when they will have to fight the super Humans that are invading the Sacred land of the wolfen kind, all the alphas just listened intently as Fenris and Stealth was planning out the plan to get rid of their invading humans within their lands.</div>"

Zair smiled evilly and nodded as his tail swayed, "" I don't mind starting the battle, but I will also kill the humans that try to attack. I don't care if they have families themselves that they have to feed and warm them. they been committing many sins in this world they kill out of cold blood they care nothing about us or how we have families as well that we need to take care of in this land as well, but we don't just kill for fun or out of cold blood either unless somethings threatens us."" he said and stretched and shook his fur out as he changed to his human form than looked at Allistor. "" what do you say past alpha of nightmare pack are you agreed to this decision my fellow night killer?"" He said to Alistor as he waited for Allistor's answer to his question. 

<span class=""bb-b"">Valentinia</span>

looked at Fenris and nodded. "" yes so very true Father, we will do what we can to protect the future of our Wolfen kinds generations after us and we will always make sure our families live through all the dangers in our land no matter what, we have to train them to become really strong wolves for their lovely land and their lives. dangers can erupt at any time in our lands, because the humans also have their own future generations being born even when we are speaking to each other."" she said to Fenris and her fellow alphas of the pack.

The others looked at each other they were totally uncertain about letting Zair start the war, but they knew it was their only chance to survive in these lands and through their breeding season that was coming up really fast and they knew nothing would stop the breeding time to come around and they knew that the breeding season was going to lessen their defenses from all alphas to just like 3-4 alphas to fight for their lives and their lands as well.</div>"

But, as stories have it, that was a common thing for elves. When time didn't effect you, it seemed pointless to pay much attention to it. Truthfully, it was hard to even gauge how many years she'd lived. A century, at least. Perhaps less. But, then again, perhaps more. To be completely honest, Shalan was so tired, so mentally exhausted, so physically drained, that if a stranger had walked up to her and asked how many toes the elf had, she was positive she wouldn't be able to answer.<br/><br/>The world had changed around her. She'd left the barren wasteland that was her home, sent out by the Elders and her Queen, to walk in search of something unseen. Her, and a dozen others. She'd walked over desert, her body burning, and through blizzards until her feet felt they'd snap off like the icicles in the trees.<br/>Now, it had changed again. Forest. Forest was pleasant. Cool and shaded, though not too cold that it was uncomfortable. The smell of the pines and the moist dirt danced beneath her nose. She could hear birds and foxes, the sound the leaves made when the wind blew, and the heartbeat of the trees.<br/><br/>So far, this was her favourite terrain. It was even welcoming to her, offering berries and plants she knew to be edible. With every creature that Shalan trapped and ate, she prayed to the forest, thanking it for it's help, and to the creature itself, apologizing for ending its life.<br/>Two days, now, Shalan estimated, she'd been in the forest, with only one brief stop in the first day to start a fire and cook the meat of a rodent. Now, she knew she needed to stop once more. Her last sleep was days ago, and her mind was beginning to fog.<br/>Ahead of her, she could smell water, mixed with the scent of fish and algae. Perhaps a rest there, then she could catch fish and be on again.<br/><br/>Shalan knelt beside the pool of water, calmly fed by a stream, and cupped a small amount in her hands to drink. Gods, it tasted like bliss. She had water in her skin, sure, but after resting against her hip for days, it grew warm and stale. Fresh water,<i>cold</i>water, always tasted better. Her fiery eyes went back and forth, taking in the little clearing. The pool sat in the center of it, a fallen log on the other side, covered in moss and sprouts of younger saplings. The ground was soft; the prints of animals that came to drink were left in the mud.<br/><br/>It was peaceful.<br/><br/>After drinking until her stomach felt tight, Shalan stood and crossed to the log, laying her belongings in the space between the trunk and the earth before she lay down before them, hiding them from view. If an animal should try to get into her packs, she'd wake and be able to shoo it off. All was hidden but her sword. Her prized possession. The blade given to her and the others by the Queen before they were sent away. The sword was so delicately crafted, so skillfully designed, that the metal itself changed colours, the image of a phoenix blazed from within the hard face. It was all she had from home. And it stood to remind her of her duty, her purpose, and her reason for being.<br/><br/>Shalan clutched the sword in her hand, tucking most of the sheathed weapon under her body. It had been entirely uncomfortable sleeping on such a hard object for the first few weeks, but she'd grown used to it, now. It protected to weapon from thieves, and allowed Shalan remove it quickly from its scabbard should she need it. Covering hersellf loosely with her cloak, the elf lay her head on her arm. With luck, she'd be able to sleep until fully rested then move on. After days on her feet, she dozed off quickly, curled against the shade of the tree."
35437,Dragon's Breath [ Bane & Cara ],IC,https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19298-dragons-breath-bane-cara,['1x1'],2014-03-16 20:23:00,Deamonbane,"They were everywhere. Winged like eagles, with faces like men and four legs, he front ones like those of an eagle as well, with the hind legs like a lion's, powering them through the air and the ground at equally terrifying speed. And she was the only one that could stop them. She ducked under a sweeping claw that would have crushed her skull, and she quickly nocked an arrow to her bow and letting loose in a single, smooth motion. The barbed shaft whistled through the air, taking a second creature through the eye, before taking off at a sprint again. Her legs worked furiously, moving easily under the leather clothes that Pappa had made for her, sliding underneath a fallen log, rolling and coming up again, bow pointed at her assailants. Another arrow flew, this time downing the creature as it punctured the neck. It tumbled in midair, falling on the log that she had just come out from under, snapping it in two.<br/><br/>She looked up just in time as claws flared for her face. She ducked again, pulling a skinning knife from her pocket and slashing easily through the taloned fingers. The blow was countered by a pain-filled shriek and she complemented it by shoving the knife up into the creature's belly, cutting roughly upwards, disemboweling the creature. The air filled with the stink of it's innards and she backed away, spinning to run again but catching her right foot in a root. She tumbled down the hill, coming up a few yards from the pool that she swam in sometimes. Her bow had fallen a bit to her left and she stood, picking it up and brushing the dead leaves and twigs that had been caught in her long brown hair. She liked imagining that she was fighting monsters. Those in particular had been ones that Pappa had told her about the night previous, how the Great Hero Helram and his troop of archers had stood against the invading Harpy Army, taking many losses, but eventually killing the queen and forcing the beasts back to their mountain caves, where they were never seen or heard from again. She liked it when Pappe told stories. When she was young she just enjoyed hearing his strong, deep voice sounding comforting to the young child's ears. As she began to understand the stories themselves, she took an interest in his tales of monsters and dragons, great lords and princes fighting for the honor of beautiful damsels. She just didn't like the damsels. If she was ever princess, she would make sure that that dragon would be fighting two people and not just one.<br/><br/>She smiled at the thought, spinning around and drawing her empty bow. Pappa told her that she shouldn't be pulling it without need, and that when she wasn't using it she should unstring it. He had bought it for her a couple months ago for her birthday, making the arrows and heads himself, along with the skinning knife.<br/><br/>She let out a soft squeal as she saw someone there, near her little pool. There weren't many strangers up here, and apart from the odd hunter, trapper or trader that had business with Pappa, fewer still even bothered coming up this high in the forested mountains. She reached into her quiver and pulled out an arrow. These were bodkin arrows, thin and smooth, used to hunt deer without having to tear flesh as you pulled the arrow out. Pappa had the barbed arrows, but he never let her use them.<br/><br/>She pulled the bow back like she had been taught, and called out,"" You there.... who be you, and what you in my forest?"" Her voice was thin and she wasn't exactly intimidating. Barely three feet tall now, her long brown hair was mussled up and had the odd leaf sticking out of it, her skin ruddy and there were freckles on her nose. But she was strong, not an ounce of fat in her, and had been trained well, along with being able to his an apple at 30 paces. She lacked not for confidence."

After being on the move for so long, traveling even found its way inside of her mind as she slept, and in her dream, she was walking. Only she was walking in the desert she had first crossed after leaving her family. Shalan was irked to find herself back at the beginning of her journey. It had taken her so long to reach the pleasant forest, and now she had to start all over again. Grumbling, she looked down at her feet. At least they didn't hurt so badly.<br/>But still, she was irked beyond reason that she had to start over again.<br/><br/>It was then that she heard the screech of some unknown creature and, in her dreamworld, she looked up toward the blinding sky, half expecting to see a strange bird. There had long ago been stories about dragons, but she'd never heard one. Was that the sound a dragon made?<br/>The skies were empty, though, so, frowning, Shalan looked before her again and stopped dead in her tracks as she spotted a young child. She wasn't human. She had brownish skin and green hair, twigs and leaves tangled in her muddy locks. A forest sprite. Intrigued, Shalan stared as the childling held a bow up with her strong arms, the arrow aimed at Shalan.<br/>""You there.... who be you, and what you in my forest?""<br/><br/>Her fiery eyes narrowed. Forest? She wasn't in the forest anymore.<br/>Shalan's eyes snapped open, wrenching her from the desert wasteland and back into the cool forest. Before her, some ways away, stood not a forest sprite but a young child, her bow held firm. Slowly, Shalan looked her over. There was no doubt this small human would be able to harm Shalan if given the chance. And a sword versus a bow was little help.<br/><br/>The elf remained laying down, worried that she'd be fired upon if she sat up. ""I'm sorry, child,"" She offered. ""I didn't realize I was trespassing. I was merely resting."" She fell silent again, looking the girl up and down. Her eyes still burned, and, judging by the shadows the sun made, she'd hardly been asleep more than a couple of hours. ""If I sit up, will you fire at me?"""

This wasn't how Pappa described his encounters with bandits at all. There were ruffians without souls, he said, men that would kill, rape and steal and go home the next day thinking that they were honest men making a living, and there were those smart enough to know how horrid they were, and reveled in it. Maybe she was one of the latter, and was using her honeyed words to convince Kora that she wasn't a threat? The young girl wasn't sure what rape was, but she did know what killing and stealing were, and those were not good, so she assumed that rape wasn't pleasant either.<br/><br/>She stiffened. Pappa had also told her not to be unfair, and while the Elf wasn't doing anything harmful... well, she wasn't a threat,"" Alright, you can sit up... but any... funny business,"" The way that she said the words told that she had just learned them,"" And I'll put and arrow through your eye. Pappa's the fastest man in the whole world, and he's been teaching me to be fast too,"" She lowered her bow but her small body was tense with resolve. She would take the Elf to Pappa. He would know if she was bad or good. He always did."

It was clear to the elf not to underestimate this child. Small she might be, but she was strong and capable, and clearly distrusting. Though, when she said something about funny business, Shalan tilted her head. Funny business? This phrase was lost on her. There were many phrases the humans used that was confusing to the elf. More often the misunderstood what was described to her as sarcasm. Was this sarcasm?<br/>She sat up slowly, letting her cloak fall from round her shoulders. ""I only wanted to rest."" She told the girl. ""If I am trespassing, I apologize. I will gladly move. As soon as I have slept my fill, I will leave again, and I will no longer be your burden.""<br/><br/>When the human child lowered her bow, Shalan stared, intrigued. So young, yet so fierce. ""How old are you, child?"""

That didn't look like a very comfortable place to sleep. Then again, maybe it was like the old man in the village said that elves could just close their eyes anywhere, even standing up to sleep, but Kora couldn't believe that this elf would prefer to sleep on the ground instead of a soft bed of hay, or something similar. It was unlikely that Pappa would allow her to sleep in the house with them, but there was a small room build into the barn that he had allowed strangers to night over in. They were the only ones for miles and being kind to their neighbors always paid off.<br/><br/>And even then, Pappa would want to know if there was an Elf in these lands. Even one as young as Kora knew that if elves were so far from their homeland, something was not right.<br/><br/>Her back straightened, trying to make herself appear taller,"" I'm seven,"" She declared proudly, even though she was a little short for her age,"" Old enough to hunt, Pappa says. And that ground isn't comfortable for sleeping. Come with me, I'll take you to Pappa, and he'll find you a nicer place to sleep. We have a guest room with a small fireplace. It'll be better, as it's getting cold out at nights nowadays..."""

Seven. The elf tried not to smile. So young! Yet she is so wise, especially for the daughter of men. She must have been taught by someone wise.<br/>Her smile fell a fraction when the girl invited her along, back to their home. Nothing but trouble had ever followed when she was invited into a house.<br/>Always the lure of a soft bed, a fireplace, a warm meal. Even if there was a child involved in this home, in this bargain, Shalan feared what would be asked of her in return.<br/><br/>""I have no gold, child. Nothing to offer in return for any bed by any fire"" The elf admitted, sitting still, her body language unchanging. ""I have been traveling a long time, with few offers as tempting as yours. Now I am used to sleeping on the ground. When you're tired enough, anything is a bed."" The woman's lips turned politely, deciding to take the topic away from the girl's offer. ""What does your Pappa call you? Are you not afraid of elves?"""

She had wondered precisely the same thing the year before, and had asked Pappa why he had let the man with the fearsome battle-ax and armor to stay the night, eat their food and leave the next morning with some supplies. She had asked why Pappa hadn't demanded gold from the man for the food, supplies and shelter. He had turned his powerful gaze to her with a rare smile, ruffling her hair, which had been short at the time over a bout with lice,"" Gold has little use in the wild, my heart.""<br/><br/>""But everyone in the village likes it. It buys things there,"" She had said, observant little creature that she was.<br/><br/>""We don't live there, Kora,"" He had said with a chuckle,"" We live here, where the things we need are food, warmth and shelter from the elements. And we can't eat gold. You will find that I profited quite a bit from the man's stay. I hope you learn this one day, child.""<br/><br/>She still didn't understand what he meant, but Pappa would want to learn of an elf in the woods. Maybe he would extend her the same courtesy as the warrior,"" Pappa doesn't need gold. And if he's in a nice mood, he might give you some supplies to be on your way. Either way, you don't want to be asleep out here when night falls. It gets cold, and there are wolves. You will sleep better with us,' She started moving back towards her and Pappa's cabin,"" My name's Kora. Pappa told me not to be afraid of anyone that doesn't want to harm me or mine. Come!"""

Though, why she had smiled when Shalan said she didn't have gold alarmed the elf more. Was this a rouse? Lure the trespasser with the child, then jump him or her? Her fiery eyes blinked, quickly trying to decide a way out of this.<br/>But it was too late. Already, the child-warrior was heading away, beckinging Shalan after her. It was either follow her, or be left behind, and seem rude. Quietly, Shalan wondered how long it would go unnoticed if she gathered her things and walked in the opposite direction.<br/><br/>Deciding that she was too curious about this child and the man she called 'pappa', Shalan quickly threw her cloak on, covering her head, before gathering her packs and sword to follow after Kora. A pretty name.<br/>Nervous and tired, the elf followed Kora, glancing around nervously, her right hand gripping the hilt of her sword. ""Wise words to remember, child."" Shalan remarked to the girl. ""Trust is a hard thing to come by in this world."" Something that got remarkably more difficult to find the further you ventured."

It was a difficult thing to bring that to the simple and mundane task of splitting logs, but he managed to do it. His movements were fluid and continuous, striking each log perfectly with practiced precision, never biting deeper than he intended to, never having to yank the silver ax-head from the stump that he used as a support for the logs. He was a tall man, standing just over the average, but not by much. He was currently shirtless, despite the chill of the oncoming evening, having worked up a sweat chopping the logs, showing the lean, hard muscle underneath a skin marred by scars and tattoos. He had one on his chest of a black panther, teeth barred, signifying his accomplishment of defeating over 10 opponents in official single combat. One of a black spider over the back of his right hand showed that he was once a general in the Southern Kingdoms, a snake wrapped around his left arm, indicating his status as the Queen's champion. The Eagle on his back, with wings flared and talons flashing, showed that he had taken over 20 lives in single combat. These were complemented by the scars that covered his body, arms, legs, torso, to one across his right cheek.<br/><br/>He was overall a handsome man, with steely grey eyes, complemented by the sharp contrast of his jet-black hair, long enough to be tied back rigidly at the nape of his neck. The one discipline that he maintained from his past was the shaving of the sides of his head, proudly showing his status as a bladesman. He was clean shaven, and he had a strong jaw, firm, set with a small cleft over his chin. He took a break from his work, grabbing a towel that had been on the branch of a nearby tree to wipe the sweat from his face. His skin was oddly pale, not a sickly hue, more like marble, hard and strong. At the sound of a call, he spun around, ax still held loosely in his hands.<br/><br/>He smiled when he saw Kora, toting her bow and trudging up the path to their home. She was a natural with the weapon, aiming and distance judging a second nature to her. Keiro himself had never taken to it, although he had put a lot of effort into training with the bow for the sake of hunting. He was a decent shot, but not much good outside of 20 yards. In a couple months of training, the little tyke would be better than him, and she would do the hunting and tracking while he took care of the traps and their small plantation behind the house, along with the general upkeep of the place, woodcutting and other items.<br/><br/>His smile disappeared and his light eyes narrowed as it was apparent that the child wasn't alone. He rested the ax on the ground, the head resting in his powerful hands, his eyes watching the other person's movements carefully. It was a woman, an elf woman, no less. His jaw clenched imperceptibly and his hands gripped the ax a bit tighter. Elves weren't usually seen around these parts, and the last time he had had contact with any was during the war, where he had been fighting with and against them. His Queen had ordered him to take a legion of his finest fighters to reinforce their allies among the elven clans.<br/><br/>""Kora,"" Keiro said softly,"" Get our guest a drink from the well, she must be thirsty,"" He smiled. The girl smiled back.<br/><br/>""Yes Pappa,"" She chirped and rushed over to their well, where she began letting a wooden bucket down. Keiro stepped forward, the ax still resting loosely in his hands.<br/><br/>""It's been a while since we have had Elves in these lands. Almost too long,"" He smiled, placing the ax on a nearby surface and offered his hand to her,"" My name is Keiro, and that would be my daughter Kora. You are welcome to share our meal and fire, and we have a spare bed should you need it. We don't get many visitors out here, being so far out of the way,"" He smiled, as Kora approached with a cup of cool water.<br/><br/>""Where are you from?"" The child asked."

As she was perfectly capable in defending herself, the elf felt foolish for feeling so anxious about what lay ahead. The girl was well raised. Well mannered. And knew how to handle herself while playing along in the woods. Nothing about that suggested that something foul waited.<br/>Despite all that, the elf held the hilt of her sword tight. Perhaps it was just her exhaustion. Finally allowing oneself to sleep and being woken after only a couple of hours does things to the mind.<br/><br/>Her ears caught the sound of wood being chopped long before the two of them came into view of the house. Shalan's eyes fell on the man grasping the ax, scanning him quickly.<br/>As the child ran off, Shalan stayed put, not yet willing to allow herself to accept their invitation. She could still run. As the man stepped toward her, Shalan only inhaled calmly, watching his movements like a hawk, looking for any sign that he was about to swing at her.<i>Really, woman. Relax a little</i>. Exhaling, Shalan straightened her spine a bit and took the man's hand. Keiro. ""Thank you."" She replied to his offer.<br/><br/>Taking the cup of water, she sniffed it cautiously before taking a sip. Ignoring the girl's question for now, she kept her gaze on Keiro. ""I have told your child, I have nothing in the sorts of money or goods to exchange for your ... offer. I am in the understanding that humans rarely, if at all, extend help to others without wanting something in return. Please, then, Keiro, tell me what it is you'd like."" Her fiery eyes went to the girl, unwilling to say the next part before such small ears. But she did not want to wake up to this man crawling into the bed he rented her, demanding flesh as payment. ""All I have to off willingly are tales of other places, or moderate skill in sewing and fletching."" Her steady gaze to Keiro's eyes seemed to firmly state that that was<i>all</i>she would offer."

His body was relaxed, leaning lightly against the ax, with the head planted into the ground, his hands covering the other calmly as he studied the visitor. He had encountered Elves before, and he had long given up on trying to understand the thoughts that went through their heads. They didn't think like humans did. He took a deep breath, but his eyes flickered down to where her hand was gripping the elegantly made blade that she carried. He had fought with and against elves before, and he knew that there was honor and peace among them. But despite that, there was little that he wouldn't do to protect Kora. If that blade cleared the sheath, she would die and he would bury her body in the woods, and never think about it again.<br/><br/>But Kora seemed not to notice the tension as taut as a lute's string and she laughed a little,"" Don't be silly,"" She said softly,"" Pappa is teaching me how to fletch, and I am already better than him at sewing. He was never much good at it anyways.""<br/><br/>Keiro's eye flickered down to the girl and his lips peeled back as he smiled a bit, the hard look in his eyes softening. But he turned back to the elf, and his eyes hardened once more,"" We have everything we need here for the moment. We never get any visitors out here, and news is a hard commodity to come by. So if you will join us for the evening meal, tell us about what is going on in the outlying kingdoms, and you can take the bed outside the barn. It has a small fireplace that already has some wood. Tomorrow morning we will fit you with some provisions, and you can be on your way,"" He tilted his head,"" Your supplies are sadly lacking, and you look like you could use a good meal and a good night's sleep."""

He was reading her. Estimating her strength and gauging her abilities. His eyes on her blade made her nervous, but she refrained from grasping the hilt in caution. It may be taken as a sign of hostility.<br/>Her wariness faded slightly when he smiled at his child. Shalan felt grateful for the girl's presence. She seemed to relax the air quite well. Without her, Shalan and Keiro may have simply stood and stared all day.<br/><br/>""I'm grateful for the offer."" She said slowly when he looked to her again. ""A bed is something I have missed for a while. And a meal,"" Shalan tiled her head slightly, glancing at her pack. Inside was a few pieces of salted meat from a raccoon she'd managed to snare a few nights back. ""A meal sounds nearly as amazing.""<br/>While not entirely warmed up to the man just yet, Shalan offered a more antural, relaxed smile. ""My name is Shalan."" She raised the cup and drank, feeling the cool water fill her empty stomach.<br/><br/>""Thank you for your kindness. It is rare to come across. And, pardon if I am a bit rude, but may I sleep?"" Shalan gave Korra a soft look. ""Your brave girl woke me, and I haven't had a good rest in days."""

He had a feeling it wouldn't be long,"" Kindness is a rare trait to find in the world, but you will find it most among the people of this land. I came here destitute, hunted and lacking in just about everything needed for survival in the wilderness. They took me in, taught me everything I needed to know, even helped me build this house,"" Shit, he thought. He shouldn't have mentioned that hunted bit,"" This place is a hard place to live in, and we mortals need to band together to survive,"" He was growing long winded, a habit and some could call it a talent from his past life. He chuckled and shook his head,"" I'm sorry, I talk too much when we have people around. It is the price that you will pay for staying with us, hearing me go on and on,"" He turned to the girl,"" Kora, please escort our guest to her room. Help her with anything that she might need. I have a few things I need to finish before I get started on dinner,"" He turned to the elf,"" Tell Kora here if you would like to be woken for the evening meal.""<br/><br/>With that, he picked up some of the wood and began stacking it against the house. Moving quickly, he carried a few logs into the house and he started on preparing the evening meal. Potatoes, carrots and some roots that he had found in the woods gave it consistency, and with some diced and salted venison to add the flavor along with some spices, he mixed it into the pot and placed it over the fire. His mind was elsewhere, and he was working in a mechanical silence. The elf was no fool, he could tell, sensing danger in him as he had in her. She was a warrior elf, not that scarce but that blade was far too elegant work for her to be just any other warrior. Besides, no regular warrior ventured this far from her tribe anyways.<br/><br/>Truthfully, he didn't know why she was here, and that scared him. She knew that he was well spoken, and could probably place his origins from his accent. His tattoos had been clearly visible as well, so if she had been a spy for the queen, she would have something to report. Not many men shared his features.<br/><br/>If she tried to send a message to the Queen, he would kill her, he thought coldly as he felt the broth begin to boil."

When she sat the wooden bed with the sun bleached blankets, she could have wept in joy. It looks like a bed fit for royalty after her months curled under coves in roves or in the hollows of trees. Once, she'd even slept under a rotting wagon that had lost its wheel, abandoned in the muddy earth beside a road. Sure, there had been inns along the way, but even with her cover wrapped over her ears, it was easy to spot that she wasn't human, and more often than not, the harassment was not worth the bed.<br/>But this! A rather clean looking bed, away from interruption, warm and dry, and with the promise of dinner! Gods, Shalan could really weep.<br/><br/>Thanking Korra, she set her pack on the far side of the bed, as she always slept while half laying on her possessions, in case of thievery. Her sword she tucked beside the pack, and she sat on the bed and sighed, running her hands over it. ""I am grateful for the kindness of you and your father."" The elf said to the girl. ""If I may request to be woken for your father's meal? I miss home-cooked dinners. It has been too long."" She offered a soft smile. ""But, as well, may I ask that I not be woken until at least a few hours have passed?""<br/>With another sigh, Shalan lay herself on the bed, scooting until she felt the hard handle of her blade under her ribs, dragging the little pillow under her head. Gods, it even felt amazing,<br/><br/>If Korra said anything after her head hit the pillow, Shalan wasn't sure, because nearly immediately she was asleep once more,"

Pappa always got a little irritable when she woke him from his sleep, so she knew to leave the elf alone, quietly closing the door behind her. then she skipped over to the house. She was in a bright mood, as they didn't always get company and it always excited her. she liked stories more than just about anything, and the more varied and interesting they were, the better. She couldn't help an ear-to-ear grin as she slipped into the house, watching as Pappa made the dinner. He was almost done slicing most of everything, and he would forget about the salt, like he always did. She slipped over to a small barrel beside the counter, dragging it over to where she needed it and, climbing atop it, she reached the jaw where he kept the salt cubes.<br/><br/>She took it over to where Keiro was seated, stirring the stew slowly. It wasn't much. It would last for a while, maybe a couple days. As she popped the cube into the pot, her smile faded. Pappa had a distracted look on his face, one hand holding the ladle that was stirring the stew, his other hand gripping his large, wickedly curved hunting knife that he never used for hunting. His fingers flickered and he twirled the knife at a blinding speed, flicking it around his fingers, the sharp of the knife never touching his skin. He would then arc his wrist and send it spinning into the air, only to catch it again and repeat the process. He only did that when he was worried. And he didn't know that it scared Korra a little.<br/><br/>""What's the matter, Pappa?"" She asked, concerned.<br/><br/>He looked up, as if snapped out of a trance and he turned to her, but didn't smile,"" Pack your things, love. Only what you need. And bring your bow too.""<br/><br/>""Why?""<br/><br/>""I don't trust that elf.""<br/><br/>""You don't trust anyone, Pappa, but we stay here when other people come by.""<br/><br/>He nodded, slightly irritated that she was arguing with him, more so that she had a point,"" It's that sword. She isn't just any other travelling wanderer. She will be trouble in her wake, I know it, and we will be caught in the crossfire.""<br/><br/>Korra shook her head,"" She's nice. She hasn't made a move to harm us.""<br/><br/>""She was tired. Outmatched. If she is here to harm us she will wait.""<br/><br/>He turned to look at her, his face more than annoyed now, but at the staunch look on her face, he couldn't help but grin back. His hand flickered quick as lightning to cuff her ear, but she was faster, flitting out of his reach,"" Go get the bread, you little devil. Bring three more logs in while I finish the soup, and call the elf in for dinner.""<br/><br/>The girl nodded, grinning now as well as she dashed into the pantry."

The comfortable bed was only making the sleep more consuming. Even though she'd grown accustomed to sleeping on the edge of consciousness to allow her to wake instantly upon any sign of movement, Shalan wasn't aware of Korra's return until she felt the child tap her hand.<br/>The elf's head rose from the pillow quickly, her body tensing, until her blurry eyes focused on the child and she sighed, letting her head fall again. For a moment, she wanted to warn the child about sneaking up on sleeping elves, but was sure the girl hadn't actually been sneaking, and decided to keep her mouth shut.<br/><br/>Slowly, she sat up, rubbing her eyes. ""Thank you for waking me, Korra."" She smiled sleepily. ""Am I right to guess that dinner is ready?""<br/><br/>Still half asleep, Shalan pulled her sword back onto her hip, leaving her pack buried in her blankets. With luck, she wouldn't need it, but on the chance Keiro wan't to be trusted, she wanted protection. As well, she didn't want her sword taken from the bed while she ate. It was all she had.<br/>Following Korra into the house, she gave a single nod to Keiro when she saw him, moving quietly to sit where bidden. ""Thank you for allowing me to sleep,"" She said, trying to stifle a yawn. ""I needed it, but I fear I'll need more after I eat, and won't be much for company, just yet."""

Imminent danger. She couldn't be trusted. Was it something about her eyes? Elves always had an odd way of looking at humans, but that was natural. All species had different ways of looking at each other, reflecting how they held said species in their own esteems. No. It was something else.<br/><br/>It was instinct, he realized as he cut the loaf of bread into as many slices as half the load could stand and smeared the sliced bread with butter, bought from a farmer in town. He rarely used it, but he had promised Korra that they would use the butter tonight as a special treat. Before, of course, she had traipsed home with a guest.<br/><br/>He pulled out three wooden bowls and ladled soup into them in an efficient fashion, placing them on the table, not spilling a drop along with a fork and a spoon, both made of steel. Just as he was finished, Korra stepped inside followed by the elf, still half asleep, by all counts. He smiled when she spoke,"" We aren't 'allowing' you to do anything,"" He grunted,"" You are your own woman, and certainly not at my beck and call,"" Stop talking, you windbag, he thought,"" Soup's warm and the butter is tasty with the bread. Eat, and if you still feel tired, we shall bid you goodnight,"" He followed his own advice, taking a seat and closing his eyes and making the sign of the Sacred Claw over his chest in silent prayer before beginning to eat. Korra imitated him."

At the same time the aroma of his meal filled her nostrils and soaked her tongue with the force of a horse, leaving her nearly dazed. It had been so long since she'd last smelled home cooking. Even knowing that Keiro was cooking, Shalan was completely unprepared for what it really meant.<br/><br/>When he spoke, her amber eyes shifted to him, still hazed with sleep, and she sat, politely pulling the bowl closer to her so the steam rose and teased her senses. ""It smells absolutely delicious."" She offered, picking up her spoon to taste it, her eyes slowly closing as she swallowed. Gods, it was even better once tasted. The scent of it didn't do justice.<br/>Half asleep, she leaned over her bowl and ate, her eyes on the broth before her. In a matter of minutes, she'd nearly finished the bowl, and blinking, making herself straighten. ""Apologies,"" She muttered quietly. ""I'm not yet awake enough to be considered decent company."" She set her spoon down and picked up a slice of bread, eyeing the butter. She'd never had butter before, but, observing Keiro, it was something you spread over bread. Timidly, she knifed a small portion onto the corner of her bread and bit into it, making a face before chewing quickly.<br/><br/>Keeping the remainder of her bread dry, she looked to Keiro and Korra. ""You two really live so isolated? I imagine you are capable of defending yourselves should trouble arise, but do you get lonely?"" Shalan didn't want to voice her assumption that humans needed social interaction. Korra only had her father, and Keiro only had a young child. A brilliant one, granted. But didn't they need more? ""How often do you get visitors?"""

Despite his less than trusting feelings towards the elf, compliments on his cooking, which were generally sparse when coming from Korra's mouth, always warmed his heart a little,"" Thank you. Please, dig..."" He paused as she carried on with what he had suggested before he had even suggested it. Korra giggled annoyingly and he shot her an annoyed glance before beginning to eat himself. A couple spoonfuls of soup were followed by a bite out of the buttered bread, his eyes rising to see that the elf's distast for the butter. Or the bread. He shrugged, taking another few spoonfuls of his food hungrily.<br/><br/>He looked up when the elf spoke again,"" I... well, I don't feel the constant need to be surrounded by other people, although Korra does have several friends in the nearby village. When we need company we head over there. It's only a few hours hike to the south,"" He shrugged, taking another spoonful of soup before answering her second question,"" Well... not a terrible lot. The occasional trapper. Mercenaries come along here as well. Hunters, travelers. Pilgrims come around as we are near the straightest road to the Temple of the Fates in Algram,"" He shrugged,"" Everyone has good stories to tell about where they are from, so we offer them a place to stay and some food in exchange. Korra loves stories, as do I,"" He smiled.<br/><br/>""Speaking of,"" He had finished the soup, and was mopping up the dregs with his bread,"" That it quite the blade you carry.

""Temple of the Fates?"" She raised her gaze, her attention caught by this off name. Was it like a Temple for the Gods? Lifting the bowl to her lips, she drank a good amount of the broth, quickly mopping up what dribbled over her lip.<br/>To her credit, she kept her face calm when he asked about her sword, her eyes trained on her bowl. ""My sword?"" She spooned a chunk of meat into her mouth. ""Its an heirloom. My father's. Or was. Taken in victory in an old battle."" Hopefully, her tone didn't betray the slight exaggeration of the truth.<br/><br/>""As far as stories, I'm afraid I don't have many."" Shalan quickly tried to sidestep the topic of her sword. ""I keep relatively isolated. As you can imagine, elves are not welcome everywhere. Hence my reaction to your hospitality."" She took another large spoonful and chewed. ""The single story I can think of that would interest either of you, even if mildly, was when I was camping on the edge of a reserve, and suddenly a herd of buffalo came running. My options were to be crushed to death by their hooves or grab my belongings and run."" Shalan gave Korra a secretive smile. ""I think I had run perhaps five miles with them before I was able to find a safe place to hide.""<br/>Finally looking at Keiro again, Shalan held out her bowl.

Korra clapped her hands and giggled as Keiro stood and took her bowl,"" Of course,"" He said with a genuine smile, ladling some more soup into the bowl and slipping it back to the elf as he sat down to finish his own.<br/><br/>""Pappa's stories are about battles and great heroes and ancient monsters that don't prowl the earth anymore,"" She said 'prowl' with immense pride. She had only just learned what it meant a few days ago,"" Why don't you tell her one of your stories, pappa?""<br/><br/>Keiro chuckled,"" I don't think she would find them interesting. However, I have been wondering..."" He leaned forward, his keen eyes buried into the female,"" How have things been in Aeine? It has been a long time since I have been there, and news is hard to come by these days,"" Everyone knew what that meant. Famine would have brought travelers with news, prosperity would have meant ballads making their way here about court politics and duels, and plagues would have brought hordes of emigrates to say so.

Licking her lips, she looked up at Korra. ""Ancient monsters, huh?"" She glanced to Keiro, pondering which monsters, exactly, he'd actually faced. Dragons were of course the most fierce of ancient monsters, but they'd been absent from the world for a long time.<br/><br/>She blinked when Keiro leaned toward her and, instinctively, she straightened, subtly leaning away from him as she watched him. ""Aeine?"" The elf asked. It rang a bell. Falling silent, she thought quickly, placing the name with the large city she'd passed. ""Oh, Aeine,"" Shalan nodded. ""Uh, good, I suppose. It's still standing.""<br/>For a few seconds, she fell silent, and immediately a voice in her head chided her. This man and his daughter were opening their home to you, and you've been nothing but dodgy. Sighing, she poked her stew with her spoon. ""I didn't go into the city. To be honest, as an elf, I face discrimination often. It gets worse in cities. As a single elf on the road, I get more than discrimination, and I prefer to steer clear of humans as often as I can."" She fidgted, aware that the young girl beside her would possibly be curious as to what she meant. ""It looked busy, though. Wagons of trade and children running about in play.""<br/><br/>Going back to her meal, she got through half of her second bowl before she looked to Korra.

It wasn't just letting your face go blank, because that drew attention. It was keeping your face looking the same way even if something surprised or shocked you. Therefore, when the elf spoke, the only indication that he had something to say about what the elf had revealed about his homeland was a slight tightening around his eyes. A quick evasion, followed by a light explanation for her small amount of knowledge of one of the largest cities in the world. And to anyone else, it would have seemed to be reasonable. Many human cities were known for their prejudice over the different races.<br/><br/>But he knew differently. Back nearly twenty years, when Keiro was starting his career in the army, a war had been fought between the elven clans to the northeast. The reason was that the larger clans had established trading relations with Aeine, and the fighting had gotten bloody. Therefore, at the behest of the heads of these clans, Aeine sent their forces to help. That had been Keiro's first command, at sixteen. He remembered that war mainly because it had been the first time that humans and elves had fought side-by-side, although certainly not the first time that elves had fought each other, or that humans had fought elves. They had won, and unified most of the larger clans. The Queen then declared that elves have open access to their city. It was a decision that brought violent opposition at first, but elves slowly became more and more accepted among the people to the point where they walked among humans as if they were among their own people. It was the only human city in the land that accepted elves in such a manner.<br/><br/>Everyone knew that. Especially the elves. The ones that had been at part of the treaties, anyways. Which meant that this elf was one of the rebel clans, the ones that had retreated into the mountains and maintained their independence from human rule. These were feared by the elves that were a part of the alliance, because they had been deeper entrenched in the darker and arcane magical arts that had been long forbidden by others of their kind.<br/><br/>The thought made Keiro's hairs at the back of his neck stand on end. His first instinct was to kill the elf, get his daughter away from her, but he couldn't do that, not yet. He was too curious. He tilted his head, catching a better view of the elf's sword as she asked Korra a question, which he missed.<br/><br/>The girl, more intrigued with their visitor than her food, quickly blushed as she was asked a question, hiding her embarrassment with three spoonfuls of soup before she answered,"" The story of Jorrahm highlander, the one about him travelling through the elflands and climbing their mountains to fight the great dragon Grathorrax, and taking his hoard of treasure,"" She grinned at her father, who seemed distracted with his own thoughts,"" What about you? What is your favorite story?"""

Not in his face, as he looked like he was merely enjoying the night. A mask, Shalan guessed. But his eyes. There was a glint in his eyes that hadn't been there before she'd answered him. Suddenly, she felt slightly panicked. Had it been a trick? How? He'd just asked about news from a city, and she had said she avoided it. How could that be misconstrued?<br/>Swallowing, she focused on her meal, trying to calm her mind. Surely, she was only imagining the sudden change.<br/><br/>""My favourite?"" She repeated slowly, half aware Korra had asked her a question. ""Oh, well,"" He leaned on her hand, her long fingers folded under her chin, her eyes on Korra. ""My mother used to tell me a story when I was a much, much younger elf."" Shalan grinned shyly to the girl. ""A story of people that were only as tall as the long tailed rodents in the forests. They were tiny. And they lived in the most peculiar places. In hollowed trunks of trees. On lily-pads that lazed on the calm waters of ponds. Beneath rocks in articulate underground mazes.""<br/>She smiled. ""I liked those stories. Now, I often look closely at odd looking tree roots, hoping to find tiny people.""<br/><br/>Pushing her near-empty bowl away, she sighed. ""Thank you very much for the meal,"" Shalan put a smile on her lips as she looked to Keiro. ""But I feel the call of the bed, once more. If I may, I'd like to return to it for more sleep."" She stood, clutching her sword, as if worried Keiro would take it from her. She bent slightly in a subtle bow as she stepped from the table. ""Thank you for the conversation."""

While she disliked getting her hands dirty with soil and mud, to the point where she refused to dig for worms when they were going fishing for in the nearby lake, Keiro had a feeling that she would be paying a lot more attention to the ground now. He smiled distractedly as the elf declared that that was about as much energy as she had for the evening, and that her bed called for her.<br/><br/>""Good night, Shalan,"" Korra called after her,"" Good dreams,"" And then she turned her eyes on Keiro,"" Pappa, what does articulate mean?""<br/><br/>Keiro chuckled, finishing off his own dinner,"" It means detailed, long and hard to follow. Much like your own thinking process,"" He shook his head, standing,"" Time to get to bed. I'll clean up alone tonight, but only if you go straight to sleep. And say your prayers.""<br/><br/>Korra yawned,"" But I'm not tired...""<br/><br/>""Right,"" Keiro answered with an eyebrow raised,"" Just lie down then, and see if sleep won't sneak up on you.""<br/><br/>""Alright,"" She rushed off to their room. The cabin was too small to have one room for the both of them, but he had built two beds. Hers was nearer to the fireplace, his own closer to the window. Keiro smiled and moved to clean up most of the food. The stew was moved into the basement, which was cooler and drier than the rest of the house, and he used the water from a bucket to rinse out the plates and spoons. He cleaned the table of crumbs and put the bread away as well before moving into the room. It had been less than ten minutes, but Korra was already asleep. Keiro smiled, moving over to the bed to cover her with her blanket, bought when she was a child. It was made of wool, and was quite warm.<br/><br/>But Keiro was not going to sleep just yet. He tiptoed to a chest near his bed and opened it, pulling out a dusty book, and moving out into the dining area."

Her feet were quiet on the ground, the leaves the went under her feet made little noise. It was one of the perks of being an elf.<br/>The downsides, though, she met every day. Until today. Strangers being so kind and hospitable! It was so alien to her.<br/><br/>As she opened the door and slipped into the shed, she pondered on Keiro. Something about the man bothered her, though she couldn't put her finger on it. It had something to do with the way he looked at her. It was similar to the way her kin could stare into your eyes and seem to be reading more than your expression. He had keen eyes.<br/>Shalan almost felt bare before him, and it made her uncomfortable.<br/><br/>Growing drowsier by the minute, Shalan tucked her sword under her blanket and piled her back atop it before laying down, leaning against her belongings to keep them safe. She was barely able to fold his arms over her chest before she fell asleep.<br/><br/>It was early afternoon when she woke next, and she blinked her eyes to slowly adjust to the sunlight that was spilling into the room. For once, she took her time waking, and arched in a stretch and groaned loudly before she sat up. It had been so long since she'd been able to sleep so luxuriously. Shalan couldn't remember when she'd last had a bed at this point. It had been weeks of piled leaves or wrapped in her cloak on holes she'd dug in the ground.<br/>Almost reluctantly, she got up and ran her hands through her hair to brush it out. With a yawn, she made an uneasy decision to leave her sword and belongings be. Afterall, they'd left her unbothered this long, there was no reason for them to steal anything from her.<br/><br/>On slow feet, she stepped out of the barn and shielded her eyes, looking around for a clue as to where Keiro or Korra might be."

His reading in the elven tongue, once sharp out of necessity to read troop movements and the like, had long grown rusty. It was a complex language to speak, much less read, very much less write. The format of the blade had been what he had seen, but the signs and writing on it, if there was any, had been invisible to him, so he had to go on what he knew about the scabbard and kind of sword. It took him most of the night, but he finally found what that sword meant. What he found sent a chill down his spine as he looked up from the book, his eyes red from lack of sleep as the sun began peeking out from the edge of the horizon.<br/><br/>Korra, of course, was not far behind, and he coudl hear the half-asleep steps from their room as he leaned back, stretching his back. There was a dull ache behind his eyes, but he knew he couldn't sleep not yet. He pushed himself out of the chair and moved over the to pantry, pulling out a loaf of bread, lathering it with butter and honey and adding a skin of water and a portion of dried venison strips. The moment he was finished with the bag, Korra stepped out of her room, eyes narrowed, if still blurry from sleep.<br/><br/>""You didn't sleep last night, Pappa,"" She grumbled,"" Your bed is still made.""<br/><br/>""Is yours?""<br/><br/>She nodded and plopped down in her seat,"" Why didn't you sleep last night, Pappa?""<br/><br/>""I had things to do, pumpkin,"" Was his answer as he placed the loaf of bread and a cup of cooled milk in front of her for breakfast. Honey wasn't something that she got to have often with her bread, so without asking further questions, she wolfed down the bread. While she did so, he packed some of the skins that they had hunted a little while ago, along with a couple of ivory trinkets cared out of the teeth of a bear that they had killed during the last winter,"" I have a job for you today Korra,"" Keiro said softly,"" I want you to take these skins and trinkets to town and sell them. And bring this,"" He pulled a necklace of bronce and gold beads,"" To Kel the miller, and ask him if he could put you up for a week or so until I get there.""<br/><br/>Korra, ever intuitive narrowed her eyes again, wiping crumbs from the sides of her lips,"" What's happening Pappa?""<br/><br/>""Some bad people are going to be coming here, and I need to prepare the farm against their arrival. I don't want you to delay, though. Take Harsel,"" Their horse,"" You know who to sell the things to, right?""<br/><br/>She nodded, fear suddenly in her eyes as she put on a brave face. With Keiro's help, she was able to saddle the horse and placing her food and water in the sadllebag and seeing her off. He wondered if he should have told her. Told her that the bad people, or person in this case, was already here. Once Korra and the horse wout of sight, Keiro returned to the house. Underneath his bed, he pulled the loose floorboards and yanked a dusty chest out from inside. His armor was in the chest, but he left it where it was, wrapped in oiled cloth. He pulled out his sword, a hand-and-a-half blade that had seen him through more than his fair share of battles, as well as a pair of long knives that he strapped tio his waist. He strapped the sword to his back, pulling it out and applying it and the knives to a grindstone that he had in the house. He had something to eat before resting for a little while into the afternoon.<br/><br/>The sound of the barn door opening brought him back to himself, as the hinges were slightly rusted and they creaked loud enough for the entire countryside to hear. He pushed himself to his feet, stretching gently to get some blood flowing into his body again and he stepped out, facing the elf for a moment, rolling his neck as he smiled,"" I don't think you have been entirely honest with me, Shalan..."""

Them Keiro appeared, and there was something more about his demeanor that gave Shalan chills. Ignoring it, she walked toward him, her body tense, almost waiting for him to attack her.<br/>At his words, though, she paused, her face going blank. ""I have not lied to you."" she admitted, standing some few meters away. ""I did not seek you out. Your daughter brought me here."" She reminded him.<br/>What did he believe she'd been dishonest about? Or that she'd kept from him?<br/><br/>""Give me the word, and I will gather my things and leave this very moment. No question's asked. I am grateful for your kindness and hospitality, and I do not want to overstay my welcome."" Her amber eyes flickered over his face. ""Have I done something to threaten you?

Her words were quick and easy, and she seemed to be telling the truth. And from the history of the cult that that sword belonged to, he didn't think that she was. She was a scout, like the kind that ants used. And they never settled for small towns and villages in the wilderness. They liked big cities, large groups of people, usually humans. He tensed up,"" I don't think I told you, but I was involved in the elf wars. They didn't trust us at first, and not for a long time, but they began to understand that the humans of my city did not mean them any harm, and indeed wanted to make communications between humans and elves, and thus they instructed us on the various more dangerous elven cults,"" He took a step forward,"" Personally, I would have preferred it if my daughter had never seen you, never brought you here, but as she did, I find it my obligation to tell you to turn your sword and yourself over to me,"" He scowled.<br/><br/>Fucking elves. Why did she have to step into his life and much everything up?"

She swallowed, exhaling slowly, trying to clear her mind of all the confusing thoughts. Elf wars. Shit.<i>I should have done more research</i>, Shalan chided herself. At his mention of the more dangerous elven cults, Shalan caught her breath, suddenly feeling much more nervous. Her fists clenched as she let her held breath out.<br/>""I think I would have preferred it if your daughter had never seen me, as well."" Clearly, her welcome was over. Shalan took a step back to increase the distance between them after he stepped forward. ""I have done nothing to make it necessary that I hand myself over to you. Or my weapon. Obligation or not.""<br/><br/>Tense, she turned around to start back toward the barn, her head turned to address him over her shoulder. ""I will leave, and you can forget I was ever here."""

The conflict in his mind was clearly shown on his face. It had diminished in the sight of her suddenly getting very nervous at the mention of him having been involved in the Elven wars, but it was still there. The sword was the same as the one in the book, there was little doubt of that, but what had she actually done to be deserving of the ill will that was generated around that blade? As she said, nothing. And normally, he would have taken that at face value and let her be on her merry. But the elf wars had taken a toll on him. Some things had been taught, ingrained so deeply inside him that he couldn't just shrug them aside. It was something more important than his conscience, even his safety at stake now. If the stories were true.<br/><br/>If.<br/><br/>He scowled, taking a handful of steps forward, his blade held at the ready as he approached her, moving to cut off her escape. He was a tactically thinking man, after all,"" I'm sure you know what that sword represents, Elf. What it means? Even if you have been away from your kind for very long, you would know those tales. As do I. At best, you killed someone, stealing that sword in which case it needs to be judged in the court of magic in Aeine, declaring that blade safe to use and free of any dangerous enchantments. At worst, you are the part of the cult who is famed for that blade, in which case if I don't stop you, the lives of thousands will be at stake,"" He looked harder now. He was a soldier, and that was what he reflected, his eyes keen,"" Therefore, in the name of the Queen of Aeine, I must ask you to lay down you weapon and remand yourself into my custody for escort to Aeine at once.""<br/><br/>He remembered those lines like they had been burned with a brand into his heart. They had been said to him once, after all, and by his best friend, with pleading eyes, begging him not to fight,"" To deny my request is to deny the request of the queen, and therefore punishable by death after tria in a court of Her choosing."""

Irritated, she listened to his reasons. Either she'd killed for the sword. Or she belonged to a cult. Evidently, to him, it was not possible that she'd been given the sword. She was about to voice this unvocalized option, but decided against it. It would do nothing but postpone his attempt at authoritative action.<br/>Curse the child for bringing her to this man.<br/><br/>""I serve no queen of yours,"" she said back, her voice steady but her tone icy. ""I am out of your jurisdiction, my<i>lord</i>."" Her amber eyes went up and down. ""I am hardly intimidated by some aged, outcast of a soldier, who is stuck in the woods carrying for his child. Live off your earth. Be a father. But don't pretend you're a soldier, willing to toss it all aside for this pathetic little cause of yours.

But old habits die hard, I guess..."" He had never been a lord. Sure, he had had the title granted to him, Lord General, after the Elf wars and, more specifically, after the Queen's rebellion, but he had never taken to the title, and never enforced it. Well, rarely inforced it, anyways. His smile turned playful when she mentioned that he was an outcast. Aged he was, and a few years past his prime. Also, slightly out of practice. But in his day there hadn't been a bladesman to match him for skill, speed or intelligence.<br/><br/>Not quite. He remembered two men and one elf who he knew was better than him, and he had fought them. The elf had been arrogant and had tried to toy with the young human bladesman. He had been surprised when the quickly backpedalling soldier suddenly jumped forward and planted a broadsword through his chest. The second had been human; Older than Keiro and in his prime too, but he had slipped on a patch of ice as he was about to deliver a killing blow. The other had been a young man, quicker, smarter and stronger than Keiro had ever been, but he had been intimidated by Keiro's legend, coming into the fight despairing of defeat, and thus beat himself. He had been lucky, he knew but he hadn't gotten this far on luck alone.<br/><br/>""I'm guessing you don't know who I am, Elf,"" He growled, rolling his neck, moving closer to her, spinning his blade in an eight-figure to loosen his wrist,"" I won't introduce myself, but let's see if you can guess before this fight is over..."" And with that, he closed the distance between them to attack. Sure, he was a bit rusty in the details, but he hadn't gotten complacent, or fat. He was just as fast he had been those five years ago, when the queen sent her lover and three assassins to kill him, and he had send her lover's head back to her on the sword that he had stolen from her."

She frowned, her amber eyes dark under her furrowed brow. When he swung the sword, her eyes followed it for a second. He had cut her off, the door into the barn behind him, and beyond it, her belongings. More importantly, her<i>sword</i>. But there seemed to be no letting up, from him. Still frown, Shalan debated on her next step.<br/>She could attempt to get around him. Of course, the ass would engage her for it, and she'd likely fail, and possibly take injury. She could surrender now, and look to escape later. But there was little chance she would manage that. Clearly, this man was no fool. He'd lock away her belongings, after he went through them.<br/><br/>Suppose there was only one option, then.<br/><br/>Inhaling, Shalan turned heel and fled away from Keiro, drawing him away from his home and into the woods. He'd know the trees by heart, for sure, but they would hopefully still serve to slow him down."

He had expected her to use some sort of magic that the elves had said her clan was infamous for using. He was expeciting her to fight, trick and try to find a way into the barn where her weapon was. None of the above. She just turned tail and ran. Honestly, he hadn't expected her to do thart because it was the most foolish option she had. She was running through a forest that he had spent the last decade in, without her weapon, without anything needed for basic survival in the wild. She wouldn't be able to get anything in the village, as they were a bit more prejudiced against elves than he was. Where was she going to go?<br/><br/>She wasn't stupid. She would have a trick up her sleeve, one that would require her to be out of his eyesight. So he either stayed where he was, letting her get away and waiting for her to come back, like she would, or he went after her, not letting her get out of his sight.<br/><br/>He sighed, groaned, wondering why he didn't just let her leave, and broke off at a sprint after her. Her tracks were hard to follow, being that she, like all elves, had a light tread, and the ground was dry and hard, making little impressions. But he followed her as best he could, keeping up a prodigious speed. He was still in good shape and the afternoon sun allowed him to move quicker, keeping her in sight without much trouble.<br/><br/>They moved to one of the highest points in the forest, where the top lost all underbrush, allowing for a clear view of the surrounding countryside. He climbed up to the top out of habiot, cirling around her, letting her gain a little on him so that he could find the fastest path to intercept her. His eyes scanned quickly over the countryside, and he was about to move away from his vangtage point to continue the chase when something caught his eye.<br/><br/>He squinted his eyes, pausing in midstep to process what he was seeing. It was a pillar of black against the mid-afternoon sunlight, smoke rising high in the sky. It was a thin plume at first, but then it was starting to grow in thickness and strength, as the wind caught the flames and spread them. A forest fire? No, it was too far away, and while it hadn't rained in some time, the ground was too moist from underground lakes to catch any sort of fire on it's own, and certainly not spreading at that speed.<br/><br/>""Gods no,"" He whispered, altering his trajectory to abandon the chase on the female elf. The people in the village were horrifically paranoid of fire so they wouldn't let any of their buildings to catch fire, or spread in that manner. It was spreading oddly, from different points in the village, which meant that someone was setting the fires. The villagers weren't the ones setting them, so there was only one explanation.<br/><br/>The village was being attacked. And he had sent Korra there, thinking she would be safe. He broke the chase of the elf instantly, sprinting down the hill at a speed that he didn't know he had, knowing that he was too late, and not caring."

She darted between the thick trunks of the trees, he body shifting gracefully to displace her weight as she moved quickly. Behind her, she could hear Keiro's heavy feet, and she kept her breathing steady. Gods, he was fast. She'd underestimated his agility, as a human and an aged, though not elder, man.<br/>Her eyes straining on the landscape before her, fleeing as fast as she could. She arched around, closer to his house, then changed quickly and ran deeper into the woods, climbing a hill in hopes of slowing him down, flying down the other side.<br/><br/>When she turned around, Keiro wasn't there. It didn't encourage her. Still worried he'd just taken himself out of sight, Shalan kept her feet moving, once more arching toward the barn in which her sword lay. There was a chance Keiro knew she'd come back for it, but if she were, at the very least, able to get there first, she had a chance.<br/><br/>The barn came into sight, and Shalan stopped, leaning against a tree, panting. She didn't see Keiro, and there were no footprints near the door. Catching her breath quickly, Shalan darted for the barn door, yanking it open and rushing in, her ears straining for any sound.<br/>Quickly, she went to the little bed, tearing off the blankets to access her belongings, shouldering her satchel and pulling her sword to her hip. Without a second thought, she was out the door again.<br/>It was then that she smelled the smoke in the air. For a second, she thought Keiro had let his home catch fire, but it was too strong, too .... different. This was no hearthfire.<br/><br/><i>So that's why he gave up chasing me,</i>Shalan realized, happily jogging back into the woods. It wasn't twenty meters that she stopped again, glancing over her shoulder.<br/><i>The child.</i>Shalan pursed her lips.<i>She's why he took off. She must be near whatever is on fire.</i><br/>With a groan, Shalan turned back around and jogged toward the direction the smoke came from, taking a detour to hide her sword and satchel inside the barn again. The child shouldn't have to suffer, and, despite her current disagreement with Keiro, he had helped her."

He didn't feel the burning in his muscles, the ache in his body that told him that he was pushing it too hard. He didn't care. She had to be safe. She was his savior, the bright light that had shone into his life when there had been only darkness. He loved the little pest, no matter how annoyingly right she was all the time. She mattered, and nothing else did. Not a strange elf and her sword, not the men that were attacking the village, and not a Queen that held his heart in her cold, uncaring hands.<br/><br/>He finally reached the village, his lungs and legs burning with the effort, sweat pouring over his forehead. His feet hurt, but he kept moving. The palisade wall would have put off most raiders, but not all. As he reached the gate, or the splintered remains of the same, he saw that it had been battered down using a tree trunk. Blood was on the dirt there, which indicated that a couple of the boys that knew how to handle bows and arrows had put a few of the raiders down. The fact that the bodies had been taken away told Keiro the tale of the battle without him needing to see where it happened. The villagers would have been more concerned with putting out the fires than burying a handful of dead bandits.<br/><br/>He stepped inside the gate, seeing what had ensued after the gate had been battered down. Bodies were strewn over the muddy ground, mostly of men, but a handful of women with hammers, pitchforks and other such improvised weapons. They had probably come out once it was apparent how things would go. Keiro's eyes moved across the grown, his eyes hard, his body still. They moved all the way to a group of five of the bandits that were still around. They were drinking from a barrel, one that keiro recognized as belonging to Marrus, the local innkeeper. There were two girls on the ground, in the mud, chained together, clothes missing. This group had stayed behind to enjoy their spoils of war a little longer, Keiro mused.<br/><br/>The fury that filled him wasn't a white, all consuming heat that most men felt. his fury was like ice, a blizzard of divine proportions, the kind that would kill anything in it's path without thought, without remorse. He knew the two girls. One was Tania, barely sixteen, Marrus' daughter, and the other was Melina, daughter of Harrod, the tanner. The two were inseperable. They saw Keiro walking determinedly towards the drunken bunch first, eyes and mouths wide open in panic and hope.<br/><br/>Then a couple of the bandits caught side of him,"" 'Ey look,"" One said with a course southern accent,"" Looks like we missed another one.""<br/><br/>Another one stood, drawing his sword,"" 'E looks right pissed. I'll kill 'im and we can get back to the party...""<br/><br/>The man advanced on Keiro, staggering a bit from the strong drink but gathering his wits enough for a wild lunge in Keiro's direction. The man's reaction was a swift as it was terrifying. He swayed his body, the blade missing him impossibly, hands snapping out, one cracking on the bandit's wrist, making him drop his blade, the other lancing into the man's throat. With a clean, smooth movement, he picked the falling blade out of the air and spinning, slammed it into the bandit's throat. Blood spurted as the sword was drawn out, and Keiro kept moving forward, barely missing a step.<br/><br/>""Fock,"" One of the men gasped, mouth gaping. But it wasn't long before they realized what was happening an were scrambling for their weapons. One dropped as Keiro's hand snapped back and forward, throwing the sword spinning through the air to plant itself in the man's chest. Another had his ax in hand and attacked, but missed keiro as he ducked and stepped forward. His own sword was in his hands, the tip tinged red as the axman dropped, trying to keep his guts from dropping to the floor. The two remaining bandits exchanged worried glances before moving forward, the one closest to Keiro swinging his sword sword. It was almost condescendingly parried and Keiro rolled his blade, slashing the sharp metal across the man's jugular. Keiro moved like liquid, flowing around the last man's attempted strike, blade spinning as he pulled it into a backhand and ferociously slammed through the man's spine. He fell face first to the mud, twitching."

Their condition was far from optimal, showing clear signs of malnourishment and torture. Parts of their body also seemed to have developed frostbite, something which was only worsened by the icy aura keeping them in place. Before this line sat Merus alongside a dragon. Marmernax was his name, a dragon which along with Merus, dealt with trials, judgements, and inquisitions.<br/><br/>""You still will not speak?"" Asked the dragon. ""Pitiful. Merus...""<br/><br/>Merus smirked, and with a wave of his hand, small spears of ice formed within the prisoners' cold aura. They stabbed the flesh, digging deeper and deeper to illicit excruciating pain. In Merus's mind, this was a fitting punishment for those who would dare speak of even a hint of rebellion against the dragon overlords.<br/><br/>""Marmernax, I think that from past questionings we can infer that the one in the middle, Bjorn, was the one who thought of this little idea amd group in the first place. The rest are mere followers.""<br/><br/>A certain cruel shine sparked in Merus's eyes, something which the dragon picked up on. Marmernax nodded, something like a chuckle escaping its throat. The cruel Acolyte stood from his seat and walked towards Bjorn.<br/><br/>""The Ice of Cocytus chills the very soul,"" he began as he grabbed Bjorn's throat. Dark ice spread from his grip. ""Revealing horrors and nightmares within.""<br/><br/>Bjorn began to shake and whimper. Not from pain, but terror as the strange ice dug into his mind to bring out his worse fears. Sorrow overcame him, the breaking point seeing those closest to him lying dead.<br/><br/>""S-stop... I'll....talk...""<br/><br/>Heads of other subjugated Acolytes turned, shock on their faces.<br/><br/>""There we go,"" Merus said. ""Speak.""<br/><br/>Bjorn began to speak of some other Acolytes which had escaped capture and of certain materials which he and others had stolen from the dragons for later use against them. Marmernax growled deeply when he finished talking.<br/><br/>""Find the ones he has spoken of, and recover our possessions,"" Marmernax ordered, prompting surrounding Acolytes hidden in the shadows to step forth and head out on their task.<br/>""Merus.... kill them.""<br/><br/>Merus sent icy spikes through the heads of each defected Acolyte.<br/><br/>""Case closed,"" he said with a twisted grin.<hr/>Merus had left the hidden chambers of Marmernax's temple and was now roaming around the upper ground.

<br/>Within deep and hidden chambers of a dragon's temple stood a line of subjugated Acolytes. Their condition was far from optimal, showing clear signs of malnourishment and torture. Parts of their body also seemed to have developed frostbite, something which was only worsened by the icy aura keeping them in place. Before this line sat Merus alongside a dragon. Marmernax was his name, a dragon which along with Merus, dealt with trials, judgements, and inquisitions.""You still will not speak?"" Asked the dragon. ""Pitiful. Merus...""Merus smirked, and with a wave of his hand, small spears of ice formed within the prisoners' cold aura. They stabbed the flesh, digging deeper and deeper to illicit excruciating pain. In Merus's mind, this was a fitting punishment for those who would dare speak of even a hint of rebellion against the dragon overlords. ""Marmernax, I think that from past questionings we can infer that the one in the middle, Bjorn, was the one who thought of this little idea amd group in the first place. The rest are mere followers.""A certain cruel shine sparked in Merus's eyes, something which the dragon picked up on. Marmernax nodded, something like a chuckle escaping its throat. The cruel Acolyte stood from his seat and walked towards Bjorn.""The Ice of Cocytus chills the very soul,"" he began as he grabbed Bjorn's throat. Dark ice spread from his grip. ""Revealing horrors and nightmares within.""Bjorn began to shake and whimper. Not from pain, but terror as the strange ice dug into his mind to bring out his worse fears. Sorrow overcame him, the breaking point seeing those closest to him lying dead.""S-stop... I'll....talk...""Heads of other subjugated Acolytes turned, shock on their faces.""There we go,"" Merus said. ""Speak.""Bjorn began to speak of some other Acolytes which had escaped capture and of certain materials which he and others had stolen from the dragons for later use against them. Marmernax growled deeply when he finished talking. ""Find the ones he has spoken of, and recover our possessions,"" Marmernax ordered, prompting surrounding Acolytes hidden in the shadows to step forth and head out on their task. ""Merus.... kill them.""Merus sent icy spikes through the heads of each defected Acolyte.""Case closed,"" he said with a twisted grin.Merus had left the hidden chambers of Marmernax's temple and was now roaming around the upper ground. Not much else could be done at the moment, except wait for his other allies to return with the escaped Acolytes to be subjected to trial and torture.<br/>
</blockquote><br/><br/>Interesting, but please keep in mind that godmoding is not aloud, and that it was stated earlier in the OOC that the Dragons would not be seen much, if at all. Also, it will have to be twisted that Bjorn lied, because I think it was also stated IC that Nacine, Rex, and Aaliyah started the Rebellion.<br/><br/>You can still keep your original post, just please keep these things in mind."

Loki always felt like the outcast and the different one. Even before he had caused so much chaos.People admired Thor, Nobody really seemed to admire Loki. He had killed so many people, he wasn't even sure how SHIELD hadn't caught him yet.<br/>The god was wondering if they were now afraid of him. He doubted anybody would love him , like Jane loved Thor. Loki thought he might as well give up on even having friends, He sighed and walked around , he wasn't doing anything right now.<br/><br/>Though he wasn't causing trouble now, he was upset, angry and jealous and anybody to get on the wrong side of him was likely to be in trouble. Though Loki hated not having any friends, he knew anybody to trust hum was a fool. Loki knew lying and betraying people was just part of who he was. At least it felt like that. He huffed thinking to himself. He knew Thor was off spending time with Jane. Stupid Thor he thought. Deep down Loki knew he cared about his brother, he never wanted to admit that so easily though. He knew Thor cared about him, even when he was furious with him. Sometimes Loki wished that his brother would just stop caring.<br/><br/>Loki had tears in his eyes and sat down after awhile looking at his staff. He was wondering if maybe he should just go cause chaos again, Loki sat there running a hand through his dark hair. He didn't think he would ever not be living in the shadow of his brother's greatness. He sneered a bit at that thought and then looked at the sky. He didn't feel welcome anywhere nor like he belonged anywhere either.<br/>He knew that he didn't deserve anybody forgiving him. He wasn't even fully convinced he could stop everything. Loki yawned and sighed. He hadn't slept in days, but it wasn't so easy just to find a safe place to sleep.<br/><br/>**<br/>Loki hadn't realized he had fallen asleep, he groaned as it hadn't been comfortable where he had fallen asleep. Sometimes lack of sleep caused him to fall asleep when he didn't want to. He sighed and sat there for a moment trying to fully wake himself up. He felt sore, falling asleep where he had hadn't been all that comfortable. He figured he really must have needed the sleep for him to have fallen asleep without wanting to. He soon stands up and looked around. He really hoped Thor wouldn't come to find him as he didn't want to deal with his stupid oaf of a brother.<br/><br/>Walking again Loki carried on, avoiding eye contact with people and trying to avoid been noticed. He didn't want to be noticed as he knew somebody might try to get him caught by SHIELD. Though unless SHIELD was no longer interested in him.<br/>""I don't need you Thor!!"" He growled whether Thor could hear him or not. He wasn't in the mood to cause trouble, he had tears falling down his face. He was even more emotional due to not having enough sleep."

Not familiar with her? Don't worry, she wouldn't expect anyone to be. She's the assistant. Her boss, Jane Foster, is known to the world. How is this possible? Well, Jane happens to be romantically involved with a man that's basically believed to be a God of Norse Mythology. His name is Thor. Everyone knows of Thor. He's an addition to the Avengers. God of Thunder, son of Odin, the hero. He's famous! <br/><br/>Jane and Thor have been dating for a while now, even though they've actually spent more time apart than actually being together. Thor is from Asgard, another planet. When he's not around, Jane frequently vents her frustration to anyone that's available to lend an ear. Sadly, this position has been filled by little ol' Darcy. She doesn't have much of a choice. Jane's rants are not so difficult, in all honesty. Darcy's worst nightmare is when the depression finally knocks Jane into an uncontrollable, sobbing, emotionally distraught woman. Darcy genuinely tries to be a comforting friend and source of support for Jane, but it's not always successful. <br/><br/><i>""You don't understand, Darcy!"" Jane screamed, separating herself from Darcy's embrace. ""It's not like your boyfriend went missing to another planet and hasn't returned!""</i><br/><br/>Jane's words were not intended to sound so harsh. She didn't want to attack Darcy, but emotions got the best of her. After enduring her limit, Darcy abandoned Jane in her time of need. If she hadn't of left so quickly, more heartbreaking screams would have been exchanged. Darcy did the only thing she could. Got into her jeep and simply drove for hours. Sunlight's rays warmed her chilled skin as the massive orb of golden light rose into the sky. Darcy knew she'd have to return back to the base soon. Despite the sickening churning inside her stomach. Jane would be a complete mess by now and Darcy's obligation to her friend's well being was strong enough to even override her own hurt feelings. Darcy has been accused of being many things, but never selfish. Especially not when someone is already weakened.<br/><br/>Before she returned, Darcy decided to stop by a local grocery store and collect some ingredients for breakfast. Surely Jane would have a stirring hunger in her gut by now. Crying often increases someone's appetite. Darcy bought a few things from the store, including a Starbucks cuppa coffee and walked along the street to her parked Jeep. Happening to glance down at her watch and see that it was only six o'clock in the morning, Darcy wasn't in any hurry to get back. Kneeling down to the ground for a moment, Darcy sat herself on the parking lot's curb and sipped idly at her drink, just trying to pass the time.<br/><br/>The New Mexico's landscape her only source of entertainment.</center>"

He felt downright awful alot of the time lately. Emotionally just broken. He knew he had felt broken since the day he was adopted. He knew his brother was back in Asgard , his brother was always happy most of the time. Thor had friends back on Asgard and on Earth and a girlfriend, while the god of mischief was lonely without any friend in the entire nine realms. He knew he was tired of that. But really the god couldn't stop causing trouble.<br/><br/><img src=""http://splashpage.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/splash/2012/10/loki.jpg""/><br/>He looked at the sky again, He sensed his brother was near by ""I don't need you Thor!!"" He shouted. He was furious and he carried on walking, he knew the lightening meant Thor was close. Stupid Thor he thought. Why can't he go see Jane. He narrowed his eyes angrily. He knew Thor was always trying to talk to him or reason with him.<br/>He saw the god of thunder land and look around. ""Loki,"" he could see his brother was in tears, He walked over to him, hoping his brother would talk to him. The thunder and lightening seemed to have ceased when the thunder god landed.<br/><br/>""Are you deaf?"" Loki hissed ""I said I don't need you."" he shoved Thor and narrowed his eyes. He was sure Thor was here to make sure that he was behaving as well.<br/><br/>""Brother, I am here to just talk, can't you just let me talk to you?"" Thor said quietly. He waited to see what Loki would do. He knew his brother was going to be furious.<br/>He could already sense the bad mood his brother was in. He knew he had to be wary of his brother. Because he was sure if he angered Loki enough the younger god would strike him.<br/><br/>""Your not my brother,"" Loki spat ""A brother wouldn't have lied to me, or made me feel like I was living in his shadow, "" He had his arms crossed . ""What do you want to talk about mmm? how much mother misses me and wants me home? About how things will be ok ? Things will never be ok, your happy. I'm not.""<br/>He didn't really want to talk, he started walking off. ""Just leave me alone Thor."" He growled. He didn't feel like things would ever be ok. He just carried on.<br/><br/>""Loki..., "" Thor attempted to follow. Knowing he was risking his brother striking out at him. ""Just come home.... I promise things will be different,"" He goes to put a hand on Loki's shoulder. Loki glared furiously and slapped Thor in the cheek and stabbed him in the arm.<br/>Thor gasped in pain and knew it was time to back down. He knew his brother was always likely to strike when furious. Thor sighed and went to go find Jane.<br/><br/>Loki had tears in his eyes and carried on walking, He spotted Darcy and backed up and tried to stay out of sight. Not realizing she would have seen him.<br/>He didn't want to be seen. Too late he thought."

Discovered in his misery by a mere mortal female. She spared him a second glance, curious as to why Thor's estranged brother would find himself here on Midgard. Hazel eyes watched his movements with a focused stare, body preparing itself to defend against an attack if necessary. This is not exactly how Darcy expected she'd be introduced to the legendary criminal. Crossing paths outside a New Mexico grocery store...how pathetic.<br/><br/>Loki did not appear to the man she'd thought him to be. Thor described him as misunderstood, Banner claimed his mind was a bag of crazy cats and Natasha easily spoke his name in addition to gifting him the title of a mass murderer. Loki, the immortal to be feared, was weakened to such a state that he was forced to sulk on Midgard's realm. When Loki came further into view, despite attempting to shield himself in the shadows, Darcy called him over. She took a risk, calling out to the murderous man. <br/><br/>""Oi!"" Darcy is not known to be discreet. ""Loki! Get over here!"" Fear is not forgotten, but discarded aside in her momentary bravery. Darcy knows she's putting herself in potential danger, but her mind is not focused on protecting herself. She's more concerned with Loki's condition. <br/><br/>""Since when do murders shed a tear?"" Darcy's full lips tilted into a smirk, she rose from her seated position and stepped, slowly, towards Loki. ""Need a tissue, man?"" She offered him a napkin from her pocket, wrinkled and partially stained.</center>"

He wasn't sure he wanted to admit his problems to some mortal. He didn't see why he should. He seemed to doubt that she would even understand him.<br/>He had tears falling down his face. He knew he didn't even deserve comfort. Even if he wanted it from his brother. He didn't want to admit he wanted somebody other than family to care about him. He knew it would never happen.<br/><br/>He titled his head when he heard Darcy. Why wasn't she afraid of him? he walked over and was silent. He wondered if the girl was a fool to call him over. But he was a bit interested in her bravery. Not that he showed that.<br/>""What do you want? I'm sure you know all that I did.""<br/>Loki started , His stomach growled in hunger, Food was another thing that was hard to come by when he wasn't wanted around. It usually resulted in having to control peoples minds or threaten and scare them off. He still looked tired as well.<br/><br/>He flinched when she called him a murderer. Yeah he wasn't going to deny that. He knew he was only crying because he was miserable. He looked away for a moment. ""Why are you bothering with me?""<br/>He knew he could kill her right now, but something seemed to stop him. He didn't seem to walk away either. He was telling himself just to walk away and forget about her. His eyes closed for a moment.<br/><br/>""I may be a murderer as you put it , But I still have feelings and still can get miserable and upset,"" He stated bitterly. ""People seem to forget that, Odin sure did even before I turned on everybody,""<br/>he sounded a bit angry, especially with the way he spoke about Odin. ""Some so called father."" He leaned up against a building after he took the napkin, He knew he was always overly emotional. ""But why should I even be talking to you,"" his green eyes narrowed.

Thank goodness Nick Fury wasn't around to hear that snide comment. Then again, Darcy wouldn't have chosen her words differently if he had been. SHIELD is of no importance to her. After all, it's not like she's actually employed by them. Jane receives a paycheck on their behalf, but not Darcy. Instead, she makes her own money by working side jobs after since Jane became a necessary and vital member of SHIELD. ""Besides,"" Darcy shifted her stance to the wall, alongside Loki. ""I'm not afraid of you.""<br/><br/>Not entirely a lie, though not the truth either. Darcy does hold fear in regard to him, but he's no threatening in such a current state of mind. ""Look,"" Darcy bent down to collect her belongings and cast a curious glance back up in his direction. ""I'm just about to head back to the apartment. You wanna tag along?"" Not many people would willingly invite Loki to their apartment. Then again, Darcy is an individual.<br/><br/>""Don't even think about using your magic or something' though."" She warned, lifting the side of her jacket and showed him the taser gun clipped to her jeans. ""I'm not unarmed."""

""Are you sure, all mortals seem to be afraid of me"" he was glad to have somebody to talk to though. He had been so alone today, He never seemed to admit that he wanted company sometimes.<br/><br/>He was quiet for awhile. He seemed surprised when she offered for him to come with her. ""Do you live with Jane? Because my idiot brother has probably gone over there, Though I am hungry."" He sighed, He hadn't been able to eat in a few days, due to it not being easy to get food.<br/>He was still shocked that she was even asking him.<br/>Being the dangerous god he was, Loki wasn't even sure if she saw the possible danger in inviting him over. He wasn't in the mood to cause trouble though.<br/><br/>""Yeah I won't,"" Loki sighed ""Not in the mood for that."" Because he was known to lie a lot. He wasn't even sure if she would believe that. The god looked at the taser and just raised an eyebrow.<br/>""Ok..........,"" he didn't seem that threatened by it though.<br/>Loki ended up following her. He was quiet for awhile and just let the remaining tears slip down his face. He was very conflicted on what to do with his life any more. He carried on looking around."

Antok itself used to belong to the Ayyubid Sultanate, a nation of different faith as compared to the Empire of Moravias. Seized from the Sultanate when it was a mere village of stone created as an afterthought, the Emperor of Moravias personally supervised the construction of new buildings in this new domain. He wanted the architecture of Moravias to stand out against the 'barbarism' of foreign buildings.<br/><br/>This attitude showed. A quarter of the buildings in Antok were of Ayyubid nature. The buildings were generally short enough to consist of only a few storeys, and all of them were flat-roofed. Gray was not the first choice for someone looking for architectural beauty, but it fit the buildings well. Small trees, just a head taller than the average man, lined the sides of paths of the original town of Antok, providing shelter and aesthetic beauty. The Ayyubids may have been great conquerors of the East, but they had good taste in architecture.<br/><br/>Even though the Emperor (or at least, an emperor) personally supervised the construction of new buildings, perhaps the emperors involved should have gotten their eyesight checked. Every single building built was coated with a layer of white marble meant to emphasise the empire's wealth. That was the theory. In practice, no one looked directly at a Frankish building when the sunlight bounced off it. The first thing Antok did when the empire starting splitting up was not to do the same and declare independence. Instead, they painted their marble buildings grey.<br/><br/>But back to the outpost of the Mage Circle. It mixed both Moravish and Ayyubid architecture, literally. Half of it was built when the Ayyubids first came, and the other half was an expansion commissioned by the Mage Circle. Due to meddling from the men upon their thrones, the Mage Circle was forced to expand the building in 'Moravish' style, but adamantly kept the Ayyubid side intact. Most architects of the time were horrified at such an abomination, though the thing did end up withstand a couple of earthquakes. It was either masterful architecture, or magic that let the Mage Circle skip out on disaster insurance.<br/><br/>At least the grey worked better on Ser Ashton Cromwell's eyes. Ashton looked like the typical male soldier or perhaps mercenary. He wore a full suit of steel armour that protected everything but his head. The small shoulder-plates upon the soldier and the boots were coloured a scarlet red, almost matching the dull red irises inside Ashton's intense, no-nonsense gaze. Engravings marked the entirety of the mercenary's armour, though none of the engravings showed any loyalty to any dynasty or nation.<br/><br/>Ashton's head itself matched the feeling the armour gave. The mercenary's eyes stared intensely at just about everything that passed his gaze. There was no magic behind those red eyes, but the feeling of the man's glare had a tendency to strike a glancing blow even before conversations started. Ashton's brown hair was short and of almost even length at the front and back. None of the hair covered his eyes, which allowed his intense gaze even more power over social situations.<br/><br/>It was also only on the man's face could one determine Ashton's skintone. Perhaps this mercenary was born with pink skin, though rough times under the sun had brought it to a light, slightly blemished bronze colour. Ashton's face was free of scars, though. Which either spoke poorly of Ashton's ineptitude, or his ability to avoid such disfiguring injuries. And even the age of 24, Ashton still carried a little youthfulness in his face. Some attributed it to some feminine quality in his facial structure, but Ashton himself would say that he aged well.<br/><br/>A sword hung by the mercenary's side, unsheathed. The metal of the blade was different, but the make of the hilt and handle was still of the noble knight House of Cromwell. Few would recognise it, for Cromwell was virtually irrelevant even during the prime of Ser Ashton's life. The red handle and hilt, elegantly shaped to resemble the scales of a legendary red dragon, carried twin bell-guards on its handle, and the hilt itself was shaped like a simplified dragon's face, biting into the steel blade. Ser Ashton's sword had seen much action, though it didn't look the part. The single-edged blade itself was clean and free of any defects that hurt its fighting ability.<br/><br/>All that, was how a newcomer would describe Ser Ashton Cromwell. All of them would get one thing wrong, however. But who could blame them?<br/><br/>Who could believe that Ser Ashton Cromwell was actually a woman? She stood at 1.72 metres in height, and there was no aspect of femininity in her physical build. No bulge on the chest to make such a conclusion or curves to create a suspicion, even without her armour or clothing on. Even her face assisted the deception. Of course, she lacked the obvious physical trait a man had, but no one hunted for that on the first meeting. And no one got far enough in any meeting to begin hunting for that.<br/><br/>It was just as well. In this world, only women could be magically talented. Ashton had the same talents, but she never played the part. Why would anyone choose a life of in the cloisters of magehood, forever bound to live and die in the walls of the Mage Circle, when one could be free? Admittedly, she was never even in the Mage Circle, though she dealt with them a few times. In fact, she was not a mage until a year ago. Ashton never even expected to become a mage at all.<br/><br/>When she took her first step in the Mage Circle, Ashton took in a deep breath of the tavern air. the Mage Circle was technically not a tavern, though the first room played the part down to the letter. Apprentice mages often spent some time here, under the careful overwatch of senior mages and the Mage Circle personnel, working their magic through the bar and the tables. It was pretty much one of the few places in Moravias where one could order a drink and have it delivered by a levitating tray. Where the ice inside the drinks never melted. And where drunks could flirt with pretty ladies that had the ability to kill them with a thought and an utterance.<br/><br/>The mercenary skipped the tables, carefully gliding past a bar wench that carried her own trays, into the second room that defined the Mage Circle. A desk, with a young male receptionist sitting with his back against the wall, scanning through lines of ledgers that stacked up above the top of his seated height at one end of the table. From where Ashton stood, even considering her height, she barely could see a strand of the man's black hair from behind the great wall of books.<br/><br/>""Good morning,"" she uttered. The tone that came off her tongue would most likely be associated with men, though it would not break one's mind to associate it with women. The law of probabilities dictated the first, but the law of probabilities did not dictate how adventures and stories worked.<br/><br/>The receptionist looked up from his accounts. He gave a nervous smile, one Ashton associated with overworked bureaucrats. Or with henpecked officials dealing with mercenaries that glared like devils.<br/><br/>""H-How can I help you?""<br/><br/>""I'd like to purchase a sorceress as a retainer. Preferably a youthful one."" She meant nothing untoward by her second statement, but the look upon the man's face told her everything she needed to know about what he thought about people that asked that sort of question. Ashton knew some people who treated their mages in the least dignifying of ways.<br/><br/>The man plucked out a quill pen and dipped its tip in ink. ""Name, please, sir.""<br/><br/>""Ser Ashton Cromwell.""<br/><br/>Ashton was interrupted by the man's smile. ""Ah yes. A knight. I think you'll be trustworthy, trustworthy enough.""<br/><br/>The receptionist stood up and extended a hand to clasp Ashton's steel fingers and shook them gently.<br/><br/>""I'll get you one of our brightest young talents, Ser Ashton. Don't. You. Worry."" The man went into the hallway to his right, his image disappearing into the corridors along with his footsteps."

It had large beautiful arches with finely carved pillars of white stone that was of unknown origin. The sanctuary took up most of the current level except for two 'offices' and a staircase that continued the journey up and down. It was beautiful, with its large stained glass windows depicting the seasons and the elements and then there were the the finely crafted tables and chairs. There were also rows of books that covered almost all the walls, though this wasn't the library. The library was just as big but had rows upon rows of books, scrolls, and other forms of texts but there so many new and old coming in that the library had to spill out into the rest of the building.<br/><br/>The one thing odd about the Circle building was the clash of architecture, one part was more beautifully designed while the other half was more simple. In the more simple part of the building your voice didn't carry, it was perfect for quiet study and their sleeping quarters. While the other part was perfect for practice in large groups as the keepers could keep an ear on everyone.<br/><br/>The one thing that Brea loved about the sanctuary was the way her voice carried, it was like the building sang back to her when she sang. She loved it and often sang while in the sanctuary, the songs were often soft lullabies while others were songs of a broken hearts or spirits. She was often told to be quiet when she sung those, but it never stopped her, not until of the keepers threatened or forced her to stop. She didn't care though as everyone knew she would just sing again later.<br/><br/>The 'offices' in the sanctuary were for the keepers who kept the mages in line, not that many ever got out of line since the punishment was sometimes to the point of maddening. Brea would know as she went through it many times to keep her sisters safe from harm. The mage elders called her a fool for taking the punishment ment for someone else, but she would rather bare their pain than see them go through it. There were times though that the elders got into heated debates with the keepers as she would come back near death or almost completely out of her mind.<br/><br/>Today though Brea was completely sound of mind and was in the sanctuary singing while reading a text on the element of ice, it was something not far from her own water element. From afar all you would see would be long silvery-blonde hair in a high ponytail that draped perfectly straight down a feminine looking back. Other than that you tell if she was anything special as she wore the same looking white gowns that the rest of the mages wore, any mage in her ranking anyway.<br/><br/>It was then that Brea heard the quiet footsteps of a keeper coming up behind her. She suspected that he wanted her to stop singing, not that she would listen as her tune was rather cheerful today and people were actually requesting songs for her to sing. ""Brea Levoll, you are required to change and head down to the tavern. There you will meet your Enforcer."" The voice of a male said calmly as Brea's song died away, she waited until the foot steps of the man had left before she slowly got up.<br/><br/>She could feel the eyes of her sisters and the keepers on her, this was her first time since she was a little girl that she was going out into the world. This was a first time that she was even considered to be 'rented' out, let alone approved. Was it because of her good behaviour? She doubted that, since just two weeks ago she got in trouble and spent three days in a cell without food or water. The water part was a almost a joke until she realized that the cell was encased in magic that prevented magic. A paradox, to her anyway. She wondered then if the elders wanted to see how she could handle being outside with an enforcer or were they just tired or her always getting into trouble? Or was it all of the above? She didn't have a clue.<br/><br/>She made her way to her quarters and got changed into her blue and silver dress. It had a fitted steel breast plate, that added a warrior feel to the gown. The designs that covered the dress made it feel like it was flowing just like her element, someone even placed a seahorse on the lighter blue section of her outfit. They must of done it for the less smart people that would happen to get her later. She then put on her headdress that had something like wings or fins on either side of her temples, she thought it looked pretty but wasn't sure if it had and magical properties or if it was just for show. Her whole outfit made her look pale and pretty, or so she was told. On her way out she grabbed a brown leather bag that she placed around her hips, it was filled with knick knacks that she and her enforcer might need while on the road.<br/><br/>Outside her door two keepers waited for her, one had her staff and two daggers that she was to tie around her thigh. She took the daggers first and then her lovely staff. Everyone of her mage sisters had either a staff or some other magical weapon, but each one was unique and would only fit the one mage. Her's was a long silver staff with one end with an arrow head point and the other that held a red egg shaped gem that sat between two wave like projections. It was a beautiful weapon that was made just for her.<br/><br/>Brea walked down the many stairs silently as the two keepers following seemed to make all sorts of noise, from their breathing to their heavy foot steps. Finally just outside the tavern the two keepers stop and let the receptionist take her. ""I am surprised they chose you, I was expecting Millina."" The receptionist said, who she didn't know the name of, as he looked her over to make sure she was perfect for who ever was waiting for her. ""You will have to do, come come."" He said before turning around and walking in the direction of the tavern.<br/><br/>Swallowing hard she made her way into tavern, and was kind of shocked by what she was seeing, this was nothing at all like her sanctuanry or the library. Here there were actual normal people, and she realized this was why she didn't come down here. There too many drunks trying to flirt with her fellow sisters or the drunks would straight out try grabbing or slapping and her sisters had to grin and bare it. She would get into so much trouble down here, probably another reason why she never came down.<br/><br/>""Ser Ashton Cromwell, this is Brea Levoll. One of our prettiest and talented mages."" The receptionist said which caused Brea to raise an eye brow at the man. Prettiest? Talented? She never thought she was any of those other than trouble, besides there were prettier and more talented mages than her or at least thats what she thought.<br/><br/>She looked at Ser Ashton then and bowed her head, ""A pleasure to meet you."" She said coolly with a light smile. There was something off about Ser Ashton but she couldn't place her finger on it, it just seemed really familiar. She waited for the paperwork to be filled out and for her new Enforcer to instruct her on what to do. All the while she kept her eyes down as to not see the abuse her sisters were going through and to keep her from trouble."

If there was a little thing Ashton realised about mages, it was that their looks typically fitted their magical capabilities. She guessed that Kyril was a fire mage the first time she met her. This one might have been a sorceress with much do either about ice, or water.<br/><br/>""What can you do as a sorceress, Brea Levoll?"" asked Ashton.<br/><br/>The receptionist cleared his throat, as if to answer the question, though a glare from Ashton made him cower back into his chair. Ashton's look implied everything she needed to say to him, and what she needed to say was: ""I'll hear you speak when I need to.""<br/><br/>Her gaze returned to Brea, and it was the second glance that made her realise the sorceress's beauty. If Ashton had cared about her own feminine looks, she would have been jealous. Kyril would have been, too. But as a young man who most likely fathered a child with a female mercenary during a particularly drunken bender, Ashton wasn't about to think about being a woman."

Though it was custom for others to speak for mages, since hey she wasn't a real person. She kept her gaze down as she didn't wish to look at what was happening around her, she could hear and that was bad enough. Though the sounds of the tavern were almost too much for Brea to handle, she could hear mean and sexual slurs against her sisters that were working and the few that came down for a drink. She balled her hands into fists as she couldn't afford to lose control, not when this was her first time going out.<br/><br/>""I am a water mage my Lord."" She said as she looked up. Her voice sounded like a soft flowing brook mixed with that of a song bird, she could hear a few people that sat close by stop talking. She could now feel their eyes on her, this was one of the reasons why she never came down much less talk if she had to come down. She got in enough trouble with the keepers who either liked her voice and wanted her to sing or wanted her to scream. Either way they liked her voice.<br/><br/>She noticed then that Ser Ashton was looking at her oddly, as if he was seeing her for the first time.<i>You don't know your own beauty, Bee.</i>The memory of one of her mage sisters telling her about her looks drifted through her head. Brea dropped her gaze and blushed slightly, though with her pale skin a slight blush was vary noticeable. Why she suddenly worried about how she looked was beyond her, she wasn't one to worry about her looks like some of her other sisters. But now she hoped that she looked okay.<br/><br/>""I am yours to command, my Lord."" She said bowing her head and then waited for the receptionist to finish up what ever needed to be finished for her to be 'rented' out. She suddenly wondered how long Ser Ashton wanted her for, some only wanted her mage sisters for a few months and others for a few years. The ones that were gone for a few years almost never came back, everyone knew that if you were 'rented' out for more than a year you were as good as dead."

His father, the Count William Cromwell who ruled the minor county of Auvernge, had him trained in the art of war and the decorum required of a noble knight. Perhaps expected to play an important and decisive role in the heart of the wars to lay claim to the Empire's decaying prestige. Ashton led his father’s armies to war beginning from when he was 16. He won a few battles, but ultimately, 2 years later, the kingdom of Orleans, the kingdom his father supported that wished independence from the empire, fell. His father died in battle, and Ashton fled his homeland.<br/><br/>He wandered the land afterwards, eventually leaving the Empire of Moravias and entering the lesser kingdoms that bordered Moravias to its east. When he was 19, Ashton learned about the existence of mages, and procured the services of his first mage, Kyril, a mage capable of manipulating fire.<br/><br/>It would be a bond that would last for 4 years.<br/><br/>Ashton learned that mages were always female and never aged beyond the age of 20 (living up to 200 years old), and there was some sort of subtle longing within him for that same sort of power. Mages were ultimately under enforced servitude by the Circle, but he wanted power beyond being able to swing a blade, and little would convince him otherwise. At that point.<br/><br/>Ashton spent a lot of time in between mercenary jobs, studying and researching for an artifact that could grant him that power. But the event that turned him into a mage would come completely by accident.<br/><br/>On the day of his 23rd birthday, the pair explored an old temple, a throwback to the mythical times when mages ruled the world instead of their sorry state today. Ashton took a heavy blow from a trap, and had to be supported by Kyril as they progressed further in the dungeon. Without bandages or a healer, Ashton slowly weakened with every step. When the pair had reached the deepest vaults of the temple, Ashton had already begun to hallucinate. He saw a bright flash of light, and heard a loud scream.<br/><br/>It was Kyril’s scream. Not that Ashton would realise it, not even a year later.<br/><br/>And when the former knight of Orleans woke up outside of the temple, Ashton felt strange. ‘He’ felt a little less muscular. ‘He’ felt like ‘his’ chest was more sensitive. And ‘he’ felt like something was missing between ‘his’ legs.<br/><br/>Ashton stripped off to take a bath, but when ‘he’ saw the very evidence of what had happened to ‘him’ upon his chest, she did the very obvious and screamed. While Ashton had retained her semi-youthful face that passed as a young man and most of her masculine body shape, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that her naked body was feminine.<br/><br/>Her hair and eyes had changed colour too. In fact, Ashton now looked quite a bit like a hypothetical brother to Kyril. Eventually regaining her cool, Ashton found herself capable of using magic, the same sort Kyril was able to use.<br/><br/>She decided that nothing should change. Ser Ashton Cromwell was still a brave knight who could seduce some of the ladies some of the time. Getting used to her new body took some effort, but other than a slight muscular weakness that eventually disappeared as she trained, Ashton felt like a capable knight again. She disappeared from her old friends though, considering that they would be suspicious to see her with a different hair colour, red eyes, a more youthful face and a higher-pitched voice.<br/><br/>She decided that she needed to work with a mage again, eventually.<br/><br/>Skills:<br/><br/><b>Weapon Skills:</b>Ashton's a great sword user, and is competent in many other non-exotic melee weapons.<br/><br/><b>Fire magic:</b>Ashton was not born a magic user, so she has next-to-no idea on how to use it. While she can do small things like create lights and small fires, bigger things exhaust her quickly. While she doesn't have any power incontinence (aka making random fires when angry/frightened), Ashton's bad at controlling magic.<br/><br/><b>Noble:</b>Ashton has learned the ways of the noble male, and can be polite and charming to the ladies."

She was expected to earn her keep as her parents couldn't support her and her siblings on their own. While she was little her parents often prayed to the gods that she wouldn't have magic, she never understood why they prayed or why magic was bad. All she knew was that she could do things that others couldn't.<br/><br/>One day her older sister found her playing with water droplets, this sister loved her and didn't want to see their parents send Brea away. So she told Brea to to never tell anyone of her power and to never use it where others would see. Brea didn't understand at the time why her sister was telling her such things but she obeyed and never used her powers around anyone.<br/><br/>It was a vary hot and dry summer and her families small crops were failing, they wouldn't even have enough to feed themselves let alone sell. Things were getting worse as their well was drying up and her family was slowly wasting away. She needed to help them, after all she was told to earn her keep and to care for the family. She used her power then to water the fields and to fill their well, the crops began to grow and their farm grew. She always used her magic when others weren't watching and so her family (except for her one sister) thought that the gods had answered their prayers. One night though when Brea was watering the field her brother saw that she was a mage and ran to tell their parents.<br/><br/>Angry and dismayed they called Brea into the house and began to ask her questions, she didn't know how to answer them and would look at her older sister for help. But there was none to be had, at that moment she knew that no one in her family would help her. She was alone, as her parents sealed her in the pantry and sent word to he circle that their daughter was a mage. It didn't take long for the head mage and her Enforcer to show up and take Brea away. The only one that said good bye to her was her one sister, but Brea didn't care to say anything. She was betrayed by the ones that were supposed to love her and care for her, but the first chance they got they sent her away.<br/><br/>She was only eight when she was sent to the circle.<br/><br/>It didn't take long to see that mages were thought to be less then dirt, and often Brea witnessed horrible things done to her fellow mage sisters. At first when she was new she would try to help and defend the other mage girls, but it was always followed by a beating of her own. But in her mind it was worth it, as they were no longer hurting the other girl. BUt as time went on she began to realize that she may have only stop the horror for a short time, thought dismayed her.<br/><br/>As she practiced using her magic, she grew stronger and even learned how to fight, though the circl only taught the basics. But she excelled in everything she was taught, since there was nothing better to do other then being a bit snappish with the guards which alway landed her a beating. By the times she was 19 she was ready to be ""rented"" out, though no one ever seemed to want her. Not that she cared, sure she would love to see the country side again but she heard awful stories of what the enforcers did to their mages.<br/><br/>Years passed and still Brea was left 'untouched' and she was beginning to want to see the outside world again. It was only a matter of time when she would be picked and she had a feeling it was coming soon.<br/><br/><b>Weapon Skills:</b>Brea was trained in the basic skills of all weaponry but she excelled in archery and twin blades. She often practiced alone to further her skills, but what she trully excelled in was the use of her staff which she can use both as a magic enhancer and weapon."

She tried to move, only to find that her limbs were bound to the rocks. She pulled against them, but found that her strength had left her. She frantically peered around, and the events of the previous day came back to her. She had been dragged before a military court for the crime of being part of the Draconian Empire. There was no way she could possibly defend herself, how could she deny that she was a Draconian? They had taken her Brother for separate purposes, but she herself had been brought here... Why?<br/>There was a growl from behind her, and she had a sinking feeling she would find out why. She turned her head, but could not see over the rock... Then a face came over... if you could call it a face. The insect-like monstrosity stared her down, skittering over the top of the rock and over her to the ground, turning around to examine it's prey. She struggled against the bindings, but in spite of all her strength she could not escape it. Then it lunged towards her, and she screamed in terror as the thing assaulted her. Then it withdrew and skittered away. She breathed heavily and frantically glanced around. Why had it left her? She looked down towards her torn and destroyed clothing. There was surprisingly little blood, and where there was blood it appeared to be from scratches as something had grabbed her rather than tried to kill her, except one wound on her that looked like a small, round hole rather than anything serious. She could feel a sharp pain in around her stomach, but she could do nothing to inspect it. She dropped her head back against the rock and closed her eyes, whispering to herself, begging for something to come and save her.<br/>Just three hours later, nothing had. Finally, she felt a horrific pain that eclipsed anything she had felt in her life, and could see something inside her moving. She cried out in pain, and then there was a sickening sound of skin being torn, and a clawed, insect hand shot out of her chest, splattering her with blood. The hand was followed by a second hand, which tore her further open, and then a head and then a body as the monster slashed it's way out of her, and was not very large at it's current stage.

Having been constructed during at the beginning of the Equestrian's Space Era it was made of sleek smooth silvery metal, with golden trimming around the top where the wall hits the ceiling and where the wall hits the floor. The office was mostly quiet except for the occasional shuffling of papers as the blue unicorn went over various documents on the state of the Equestrian Empire.The hum of the castle's generators could also be heard in the distance. A few grey filling cabinets set behind Duck and a brown desk with various papers and writing utensils scattered on its shiny surface. The office itself was rather large, having space for the desk and multiple filing cabinets and bookshelves.<br/><br/>Duck himself felt a bit tired. He associated it with his old age, no longer having the energy he once use to. After the end of the Draconian War he had gone back to his usual regime, dealing with the politics of the High Council and supervising the many magical academies of learning in Canterlot. It had been 10 years almost, but he still felt grief over the loss of Luna, the only other pony he had ever loved. Pulling him self away from that rather sad subject he began looking over multiple economic,military, and diplomatic reports. The Equestrian Military had suffered some losses, but was able to regain most of them towards the end of the war. The economy hadn't been prosperous as it once was due to Drac blockades of important trade routes, but with them gone they were being reactivated and expansion beginning once more, in the Milky way and the other galaxies that the Equestrians had scouted out and settled. There alliances remained stable, as such a thing was important in this time when there was rebuilding to be done.<br/><br/>Duck stood up and left his office, he was blinded a bit as he preferred working a low light environment. After adjusting himself to the light of the hallways he starting head towards one of the many balconies within the castle. There wasn't much sound going on except the occasional scraping of hoofs and claws on the metals floors, or the slamming of a door. He stepped out into the balcony and felt the cool night air and the grainy texture of the stone used to construct the balcony beneath his hooves. Placing his hooves on the railing of the balcony he looked over the many lights and tall towers of Canterlot. It was a beautiful night, he only wished he had someone to spend it with."

He was stationed in Commune when the initial attack happened. Shortly after, his fleet jumped to Domu to fend off the second battle.

Perhaps that new world might evolve intelligent life over billions of years, to one day be contacted by humanity if it survives. Maybe it will be peaceful, or maybe they will be wiped out by war parties seeking to reclaim their world. Whatever the case, that has not happened yet, and an entirely different uncertainty is currently at hand. Namely, how will Fergus speak to a species he knows only by reports of atrocities from troops under his command?<br/><br/>He was desperately trying to suppress his emotions for the greater good, but he had always had trouble with that. He knew it was required, but it has an extremely hard thing to do. He tried everything he knew of, Buddhist meditation, yoga, Hachist methods, he even reached out to a Goddess without a people and another worshiped by a close ally of the Alliance. Only the first and last did he actually expect to possibly work, mainly due to Buddhist meditation having multiple accounts of relieving stress and him actually having contact with the final deity. Of course, the second to last he had also contacted, but she was also the Goddess of war in Draconian beliefs. So that's a problem.<br/><br/>After many hours of these activities, Fergus decided to try an Abh meditation method. While common among Abh, it is almost never used by neither humans nor dolphins. instead of having you focusing on one thing or clearing the mind, it consists of an intense study of what is bothering you. The study is supposed to reveal why it is bothering you, and thus how you can make it not bother you. While that is the general idea, some say that the understanding is all you need, in the same way that a psychological study of your nightmare makes it seem less frightful, or maybe even humorous in hindsight. This method worked incredibly well with Fergus, while he was never good with making himself do something, he always was good at thinking of why someone else would make themselves do something. You'd never catch him admitting that, though.<br/><br/>Once the thirty-minute meditation session was over, he suddenly felt perfectly fine with the past mistakes of the Sazkarjhit. He had come to the conclusion that they were done not because the Grand Vessel at the time was evil, but because he truly thought he was doing the right thing. In fact, he probably believed he was helping the ""heathens"", in the same way that the ridiculously conservative ""Traditional Christian Hierarchy"" during the Common Sense War thought it was saving souls by forcibly altering the memories of conquered populations so they would believe the exact same thing they did. While the possible outcome of the crusade against the Hach would have been terrible, everyone involved thought they were actually helping, and Fergus simply cannot dislike someone who think's they're helping.<br/><br/>Fully prepared for the meeting, Fergus walks to the command center of the orbital station where the EAS McClain is being refitted, and orders a channel to be opened to the Sazkarjhit ships that have just arrived.<br/>""This is Admiral Fergus McClain of the Earth Alliance, it is an honor to once again meet with your people.

After some mechanical humming and whirring, a<i>ding</i>sounded, to which the Ambassador replied with a ""Hmph!"" before retracting the device. She pressed another part of the panel, and the helmet quickly folded down, revealing the face of a female Sazkarjhian. Her face was the same yellowish-orange tint as the rest of her species, but she had distinct, bright-yellow pattern moving down the center of her face. She smiled lightly, barring some of her sharp teeth, which seemed to have been enhanced by her jet-black eyes. She appeared to be quite a charismatic one. The OGVS units folded down their helmets as well, these men and women looked gruff and serious, and it was easy to tell that they were trying to act casual, but were used to a strict military life.<br/><br/>Marana looked around the room, studying the humans. She remembered seeing them deployed on the surface during the Invasion of Sazkar. They were powerful soldiers then, they looked the same now. She remembered what the Fleetmaster aboard that Marku-Class she was stationed on told her. ""If any of these...<i>things</i>...try to attack you, just duck.

They were all silvery, with golden trimming and blackened windows running down the side. Equiis its self could be seen with multiple stations orbiting it and the constant flow of ships between it and the rest of the star system that it composed of.

Half of these planets are gaseous, while the rest are volcanic, iced, flooded, or simply un-colonized. However, every planet we have colonized so far, small and large, has shown signs of numerous resources. We are bound to find more of these resources on our un-colonized planets. Currently, we are running a defecit on the most basic of supplies to our current colonies, food. We also have technology to amplify our basic rates of farming. By designating at least one planet as a farming planet-for domestic life, grains, fruits and vegatables- we will have the ability to colonize hundreds of more planets into our collection. This ability is given through harvest drones. While our manual drones can harvest a couple dozen kilometers an hour, our automated service drones are capable of doing over 500% of that rate. Not only that, they leave the grains and harvests as if they were done by hand. Currently the only problem facing us with these drones is that they run off of a rare metals. The only way to make this a reality is to either colonize planets and imposing artificial foods onto the colonies for a short time, or buy our way out of food supplies or even buying the metals. We believe the first option would be the smartest, and would like to request the colonization of over 100 planets that are home to a vast amount of resources, all of them more valuable then our most resource rich colony, colony 257. These planets would eventually be ran by drones, allowing for even more colonization, but for now it would be Haches"" he sat down after that.

Their was multiple games going on that night, but the pair focused mainly on the three different sports games involving their home colony, colony 257. Since the culture bomb from the humans, the colonies relished in two human sports: Baseball and football, the latter going by another name as soccer. The Haches also had their own game called Post-Guard, where a team tries to kick a ball into the other teams net by staying in one box positioned by their own net.<br/><br/>""Who's winning in Baseball?"" asked the father as he began to fix a cup of broth.<br/>""We are against 492, 4-2""<br/>""Football?"" asked the father.

The boy tried to mimic the expression the announcer gave, screaming goal for a good ten seconds.<br/>""Nice"" said the father as he returned, holding two cups of broth and giving one to the boy. The boy changed the channel to the Post-Guard game.<br/>""Wow, we're killing em"" he said.<br/>""Colony 257 was always known as the big dog when it comes to anything, sports, mining, you name it, that's why we're pampered with television and not radio, why we get food other colonies could only dream of""<br/>""Pretty sure the states could dream of something better than broth made of forest bones"" remarked the boy.

Nearly two weeks ago, factories began to open up like wild fires, production factories, clothing factories, even ANM factories. Food supplies were no longer rationed, clothes were well to come by, and production of ships and appliances was almost 240% up. Money was being well to come by, and markets were opening up all over the colony.<br/><br/>The father's monthly shift had recently turned from mining to worker at the town's nearby military base, specifically the airfield. The boy was lucky enough to be taken along, perhaps one day becoming a soldier for his Empire.<br/><br/>The boy admired his father. Crate after crate, stack after stack, bundle after bundle, he didn't complain. The father was a hard worker.<br/>""Can I help, Pa'?"" he asked<br/>""See that stack of crates in that plane there marked food? Bring em onto this forklift, we're taking 'em to the mess hall"". The boy searched a little, finally finding the crates, five of them, in the far corner of the supply plane, all marked in a bluish tone,<i>food</i>. With a little difficulty, the boy managed to lift one up, slowly and clumbly walking out of the plane and over to the forklift. The father followed suit, and grabbed the crate. This process repeated a handful more times until all the crates labelled food had been discarded from the plane. Then, instinctively, the plane jumped up and flew off, all of it's items discarded.<br/><br/>When the pair arrived at the mess hall, they could see many stacks of crates already lined up. drool dripped from the boy's mouth, smelling the aroma of stale bread and cooked meat. Then he turned to his father, ""What kind of food's in here?"" he asked.<br/><br/>""Beat's me, we're getting payed for this anyways, we should be grateful for that. At least we can get food of our own"".<br/><br/>""But what if this food is...different?""<br/><br/>""Hm?""<br/><br/>""Fresh?""<br/><br/>""Soldiers deserve it, boy, they work hard for us. They defended against the Domu invasion, though you were too young to see that"". The Domu invasion, what separated their family. The boy could remember it, even if the father thought otherwise. He could remember his mother's last screams, her death. He could remember the New Worlds amendment:<i>All families that lost a loved one in the Domu attacks shall head to the new colonies to make their own riches, to rebuild the lives of their lost brethren.</i>.<br/><br/>When the father wasn't looking, he ran off to search for a crow bar. Inside an office was where he found one, and he ran back, sneaking past any guards or cooks nearby. Once he returned, he pried open a box, the curiosity killing him. There was nothing but bags of explosives and powders."

The value of 'Cradle Worlds' to the Collective went against much of their usual behavior, but it was an integral part of their society.

It is a unique class of ship that incorporates cloaking technology by utilizing several different means, including active camouflage that bends light around the ship in order to render it invisible to the eye and Stealth Ablative Coating which is black in color and serves to refract most basic sensors, making the ship invisible to radar and other minor sensors, similar to the way Active camouflage cloaks something from eyesight. The coating must be maintained perfectly or it will return radar signals. This necessitates constant maintenance on the entire coating, which is to be done after every mission the ship goes on. This only works on minor and some moderate level sensors, making it good mostly for avoiding the eyes of pirates or sneaking through low security sectors and past small patrols, as higher security sectors and enemy warships are likely to use more advanced sensors. It has Counter-electronic systems as well. Weaponry wise, it carries weaponry on par with a Velites class Corvette, save for a miniature version of the Energy Projector that would not be able to generate enough power to glass a planet or even destroy enemy mainline ships but is powerful enough to cut through most Corvettes and Frigates, but it's not meant to be a mainline fighting vessel.

The battle is considered the event that defined humanity, reshaped it many years later. Seven hundred different sides fought in the battle, every one of them for their beliefs. It was the waning days of the Common Sense War, and the fighting had gone to the extremes. It took place after the dozens of Christian factions finally united, but not by unity. No, they were united by being conquered by the one with the most savage and dangerous soldiers, it's name lost to history. This battle was where they would use their new strategy, against Gliese 667 Cc, the last planet where humans of multiple faiths lived together in peace. Why did they attack it specifically?<br/>There were Jewish inhabitants.<br/><br/>As the spectator watched on, the hundreds of fleets were quickly decimated by the superior Christian forces, with outnumbered the others and outgunned them. As they closed in on the planet, leaving behind thousands of floating hulks in their wake, the cargo bays of the ships began to open. Out of them flew millions of nuclear missiles, which impacted the planet in short order. Due to the design of the weapons, the fireball rages on for hours, supported by a fusion reaction being fueled by vast reserves of fusion material on the fleet. When they finally ran out of fusion material, the fireball dissipated and the survivors of the fleets were met with nothing but dust.<br/>And that's why Gliese 667 Cc isn't on starmaps anymore, along with ten other planets that met the same fate before the great purge was started by Dmitri Saveli and Fergus McClain. Afterwards, the human species took the title they still believe they deserve: The Shamed Ones."

It would take a huge ship with as much negative energy as the entire fleet combined to make it there and back. He never knew why, but that one galaxy had always comforted him. When he was stressed back before humans had left the solar system, he would look up at it and his troubles would melt away for a moment. Now, with his magic powers, he could sense a part of it. An image of a planet, a green and blue pearl like Earth once was. He could not see anything but that world, perhaps it's inhabitants were extremely gifted with magic or an alien relic was left there. Whatever the case, when he saw it in his vision he experienced what was called the ""overview effect"" by old astronauts. It was a connection with one's species (sometimes god for the religious) felt when seeing one's homeworld from space. Fergus had never felt it until now, but along with this feeling was an intense hunger, a need of some sort. After staring at the tiny dot that is an entire galaxy, Fergus finally figured out what that planet was, and what he had to do.<br/><i>Home. I have to go home.</i>"

However, these people didn't represent any minority, they represented nearly all of humanity. They were told that the war would redeem humanity, yet the Doctrine was still law. They believed that humanity had been redeemed, yet they had been protesting for a week now and no comment had been made. However, today Yuuki Sora had decided to appear as a robotic avatar to deliver the official message.<br/>""The Doctrine is still true!"" She cried out at the top of her lungs ""Humanity is not redeemed!

How can we be sure that humans are the chosen species under one God?""<br/>Yuuki responds, perhaps a bit too aggressive for her own good.<br/>""You're treading on thin ice there, do you mean to say that your religion is the only possible true one?""<br/>""Yes I do!""<br/>""That's against the Doctrine!

She screams, and fires off multiple railgun shots using the avatar's built in weapons.<br/>EA dropships were called in by the security officers, some of whom turned their lasers on their comrades. When they finally reached the scene, it was an all out battle. Some dropships began firing on the protesters, and they weren't using stunners. However, most began fighting for the various protester factions against eachother. The loyal humans tried to fight the rebels, but they were quickly taken down by the traitors. Only the Abh and Dolphins remained loyal to the official government, and they tried as best they could to put down the rebellion. However, news of the battle quickly reached other planets, and the newly dubbed ""Human Supremacists"" started more battles. But just like the first, the rebels divided into multiple religious factions.

Instead, a chip was implanted into the brain that would provide similar boosts but could be disabled without much damage to the Draconian.

Of course, he had heard the stories of Draconian aggression, this one could kill him in seconds if they wanted to. But they didn't, and their face clearly conveyed fear even to a human. He was saddened by what had become of this specific Draconian, what if they were a civilian who didn't even support the war? Whatever this Draconian was, the human man set them free that day.

Once inside, they found an Abh crew already making the preparations for takeoff. They expected to be taken prisoner, but the Abh leader took one look at the Draconian and the human and decided to let them stay.

The ground troops maneuvered through the streets of the city until they came upon the extremely hostile square. The Orcs began to enter this area while taking serious amounts of fire from the rebels, but despite this no Orcs were killed upon entry of the square. Fire was returned and the Orcs succeeded in dispatching many of the angry rebels that were causing the civil war. ""Keep pushing foward, Orcs!"" Overlord Mogor shouted to his men that were making significant progress in clearing out the square. Some Orcs were hit by the rebel fire, but luckily only suffered minor injuries due to the strength of the body armor that they were equipped with. ""Set up a command post here!"" Overlord Mogor said while sitting behind some cover in the portion of the square that they had just cleared out, but were still engaging rebels in. The Orcs quickly set up a command post by moving debris and nearby cover to a centralized location where communications were set up. Overlord Mogor began to use these communications to contact the diplomatic detachment above them. ""Where are my bloody reinforcements at? Mogor asked the bridge of the<i>Muzmeg</i>. ""They are exiting the ship as we speak, Overlord."" said the communications specialist. ""Roger that. Tell them to hurry the hell up."" said Overlord Mogor before returning to his position where he could fire upon the rebels. ""Hold this position, and lay down fire on the rebels from here until we get some reinforcements in."" Overlord Mogor said to his troops.

There was no visible light, so the lead scientist, recovering from the initial shock of his success, took a few steps into the room and formed a fire in front of them with his mind, but it died almost as soon as it grew, granting him only a momentary peek at the room, which appeared to be a square. He looked at it in confusion for a moment, then in shock as the room became illuminated, revealing a bridge over some black liquid, leading to a small circle island in the centre with a pedestal on, above which floated a purple orb that seemed to be the source of the light. He began to cross the bridge, and as he did he heard people calling out his name... He made it into the center of the room and took the purple orb in both hands, and as he did his eyes shot in orange and he heard two voices in his head. One was the beautiful voice the Triarii had heard before, and the other was a new, more male voice, but all the same angelic. The two spoke in unison<br/>""You continue to unearth more, and this is no exception. Take with you this gift, and with it may seas part for you, may lighting bend knee to you and the rider take the steed once more.

You exist so far from what you think you want, and what you need even more so... You must separate the two, Triarii. Go now. Seek out this world"" An image of a star map appeared in their minds, as it zoomed on a location. ""Upon arrival, and through all your actions, use less logic and more empathy. You will know what to seek when you are there. What you are doing now, this... This is not your purpose!"" the voice became slightly enraged, as the message faded, every Triarii pausing for a moment to consider the message.

After all, she always was a bit impatient.<br/><br/><b>Outer Hach Colony</b><br/>The attack ship from the so called ""Drac World"" entered orbit around a planet that seemed to contain a small backwater colony. It was the closest safe planet, and the ship was already out of both antisubstance fuel and negative energy including that in the dropship. Lacking any way of landing on the planet normally, the crew boarded the escape pods and set them on a course to the small settlement. The pods were launched, and deorbited.<br/><br/>Mere minutes later, on the planet's surface, the pods landed quite close to eachother with their parachutes. The crew got out onto to discover that the gravity of this planet was 3gs, well within the rage of the Abh (Which extends to 200gs before danger of losing consciousness), but the human struggled to stand up. When they decided to move closer to the settlement, the human simply couldn't walk there. He had to be carried by the Abh on one of the stretchers, of course, the Draconian was just fine in the high gravity due to, well, being a Draconian. A guard of five was placed on him as well, to avoid any attacks on him by the locals.<br/><br/>The band reached the settlement, and found exactly what they expected: a backwater colony. It wasn't that bad in comparison to human towns of the 20th century, but it was obvious that food had been rationed for a while. Though it was night, they could clearly see basketball courts and a baseball diamond. They knew the Hach enjoyed human culture, but they had no idea they had adopted such human pastimes. They eventually came to a inn, and the highest ranking Abh went inside with the human and those carrying him. When they entered, they found a small room with a single couch and a reception counter with a single Hach citizen at it. The human likely knew what species, but he certainly couldn't talk in the high gravity, as he was too busy trying to breath. The Abh leader went up to the citizen behind the desk.<br/>""I am Deca-Commander Duheil of the Abh Star Forces, my crew has been forced to abandon our attack ship in orbit of this planet due to a fuel shortage. We barely escaped the rebel factions on our colony-we're loyalists, so don't worry about that-and the human among us is not faring well as you can see. His species cannot survive long in this gravity without a breathing mechanism, older ones like the original iron lung work best in these situations.

Barasmus nearly shoved the clipboard into her, where she took it and scanned through it. She turned to face the old, war-hardened commander, then gave it to Magama'yum, who had a similar expression.

Quantum technology had drastically evolved since his first travel with it. He hadn't even really warped to his destination at this one; he was basically flinged around with a Mach 13 quantum railgun, at a trip of 2 weeks.<br/>Now, Quantum warping was not only feasible, but also relatively easy. Almost everything that could fit in the Gate and meet the power requirements could teleport everywhere in a radius of 30 light years and return with no assistance from other portal networks. Teleportation of a sole human without special equipment was also rendered relatively riskless, and having used the Gate enough times, Diremonteis didn't even have to get scanned before warping.<br/>However, as he was just about to warp, the whole Bureau got a blackout. Diremonteis was too startled at first to realise how lucky he was; casualties from last-moment Gate electronics failure was still frequent. His cadet did, though and rushed to the room, fearing the worst.<br/>""Are you alright, Commander?"" he said, when he saw he was not only alive, but even mostly unscathed. Diremonteis' official title was now Elite Universal Diplomat, but his cadet could still not get used in the idea. Therefore, Diremonteis permitted him to call him however he wanted when alone; he also preferred that title. He had actually started to miss his former life; he always hated trouble and difficulties, but his participation to the first Korvichai encounter with foreign species, and their first engagement with the Draconians later, now made him miss the thriil he experienced back then.<br/>After sighing, he responded. ""Theromisian, call President Dimitri and tell him to prepare the Recipient Gate for teleportation. We have insufficient power supplies to conduct such a trip by ourselves."" Even now, using a Quantum Gate had exorbitant power demands, and the inverse-size inefficiency of the design made more energy to be lost the smaller the object warped was.<br/><br/>Fleet Beta<br/>""I don't care"" slowly said Serohimean, trying to pick his words carefully, and without showing too much emotion ""what he is doing. All I care about is quarantees. Are you sure that this i the guy we've been searching about? Are you completely sure that you found the cadet of that day's Diplomatic Leader of the Draconians?""<br/>""Yes, we are"" said the Comms Master. He had a problem saying the next sentence. ""And sir, yes, this guy is the... ... the killer of your cadet, sir.""<br/>Serohimean was furious now. He seriously felt the urge to rush out of the airlock, dive on the unknown planet, then sprint to that bastard's house and struggle him to death. Memories of him and Herebusia passed in front of his eyes in quick succession: their preparations before the launch, their feared hug during the monstrous propulsion, their cooperations and silent communication during the trip. The preparations for the diplomatic meeting with the EA, their soft -and almost sensual, now that he recalls the scene- consersation during it, the gentle interruption of the President, followed by a smile -even he had understood.<br/>But also even longer ago, during the World War, when he was just a Lieutenant. The day she got shot at the spinal cord; she barely survived. He was the first to rush to help her. He was the one who carried her to the medic. He slept the whole night next to her that night, risking his life, trying to calm her down. She lost a node back then, but was still one of the smartest persons he had personally met. Ioannorent knew all about that event. Actually, he was the one who assigned the members of the mission; he was the one who assigned her as his cadet. Even he knew Serohimean better than himself. And he was too blind to see it. What a fool. He could not notice. What an idiot.<br/>The scene of her death flashed back. The Draconian leader had just informed him of the incoming assault, he told him everything was lost, and finished by insulted his nation; he could not remember exactly how. He could only remember that he was enraged. Before a split second passed, he was already standing up, without warning, with his almost ancient flintlock pistol aimed at his head. And then, it was gone. Before he understood what happened, the Draconian's cadet had jumped behind his Commander, holding his lost pistol on a mechanical handlike appendage. And then, he shot it, with the same smug smile his Commander had.<br/>Serohimean was too startled to understand what happened. At least, until his cadet jumped on front of the amethyst bullet. The bullet pierced a weak spot on her neck and connected with her node at the back of her head; it was a fatal hit noone would be able to survive. Only then, only when he fell down, only when he pressed her almost dead body against his. Only when he kissed her, for the first and last time. Only then he knew. Only then he understood. What an idiot. What a fool. What a f*cking jackass. And that f*cking goddamn bastard would die now!<br/>""Are you alright, Commander?"" said the Comms Master, seeing him burst with silent anger, almost ready to pass out.<br/>He woke up, and tried his best to regain his consiousness. He managed to pop out a confident smile. ""I'm okay. Alrighty, then. I would hate to hurt an old senile man that's left alone on a small dot on the map, but I quess I have no other choise.""<br/>""I, err, would not call him old and senile, sir. And ther eis no way I would call him alone."""

This town, compared to most others in this colony, was quite well industrialized, anyone could get a job here, thankfully.<br/><br/>""What happened here, lieutenant"" said Commander Fro, a Bunta. Fro was old and wise, skilled in combat. He'd seen some dark places, possibly hell, or so that's what he tells his colleagues and family.

Weaponry technology wasn't the most active area. The Argutus continued ""It came to my attention that plasma is relatively slow and might be dodged by hostiles at longer ranges, even if very fast a short. This disadvantages our snipers... So I have devised a new weapon. Behold! Hardlight weaponry!"" He said, as a hologram lit up and displayed differing types of weaponry ""Hardlight particles, travelling at the speed of light, deadly to the target they impact with! Impossible to dodge! A single shot from this weapon would kill any unarmoured and many armoured targets, smashing through them at the speed of light and destroying them. One of the few effective ways to counter them would be shielding. Perfect for snipers.""<br/>""Are you suggesting we replace plasma weaponry?"" One of the crowd questioned<br/>""Not at all! Hardlight would be used in complementary to the plasma weapons. Hardlight is accurate, but it can't be fired automatically like some plasma weapons can. No, hardlight would be used for snipers and designated marksmen, while our conventional plasma weaponry would be used by other troops.""<br/>""How are you going to do this?""<br/>""I have made many changes to the Hard Light components we use to create hardlight bridges. They are now much smaller, able to fit into the weapon, and able to change energy into light, and then compound it into hardlight. Being light, the shots are already travelling at the speed of light, meaning in the majority of battle situations the impact would be near instantaneous. No target could ever dodge it.""<br/>""I see... why can't it be fired automatically?""<br/>""The generator is currently incapable of that, though maybe one day we will be able to achieve such a thing.""<br/>""What weaponry have you conceptualised?""<br/>""A Hardlight rifle, which is a designated marksman rifle. It is a semi automatic rifle that is able to engage targets at long ranges with accuracy and ease. It has two fire modes. The first is a burst of three shots, and the second is a focused shot. The focused shot is more powerful than the three shot burst, more accurate and longer range, but the three bursts are better for shorter range engagements. Then there is the Hardlight Sniper rifle. A single shot from this should instantly kill any target, and even vehicles. Highly accurate, highly deadly,""<br/>""Does anyone else have this?""<br/>""None of the other known races have this weapon technology.""<br/>""The Equiis?""<br/>""Even with their increasing rate, this is a millennia ahead of them at the very least... but why are you talking about them? If you ask me, we should Collectivise them immediately, they seem to have a goal which could very much require our assistance and if we joined with them, their technology would sky rocket, together we could...""<br/>""The Equiis pact would never submit to Collectivisation, and their treaty is incompatible with our own system. Joining it would cripple us. That thought is incompatible with the greater good""<br/>""Thought stricken. Back to the task at hand. I have already produced working prototypes, complete with self destruct sequences to prevent their capture in the field. A top of this, I am continuing my research into Hardlight technology, and the next step would be to make automatic hard light weapons. Imagine, a machine gun that would fire at the speed of light, tearing through flesh as it goes. No one could stop the greater good."" He turned, leaving the podium and taking his seat at the bottom. Another Argutus stood, and quickly rushed to the podium<br/>""This technology is brilliant... but why kill the enemy when you can control them?""<br/>""What is it that you are thinking?"" The Argutus who had first spoken asked, and the one on the podium grinned<br/>""The biological mind is a pandora's box of energy we have been manipulating on an individual basis since we began. Now, most brains are only receivers, this is the kind we see in most other sentients, but some, like our own, are advanced; sending and receiving charges as they choose."" The Argutus said, then raised his hand towards the hologram, which changed to reveal a strange looking device, with an antennae of sorts and three rotating prongs coming off of it ""This is my Psionic Beacon. With it, we can send any energy message we want on a massive scale. It is enough to cover an area the size of Videt and it's surrounding area. If we are able to deploy this to the cities of our enemies, then they will be ours. Mind, body... and if you'd like, soul.""<br/>""Does it work?""<br/>""I would not demonstrate it if it didn't, Parem Habui""<br/>""Plans from here?""<br/>""I am working on another version... the Psionic Amplifier. With it, entire planets could be taken under our control, if we were able to deploy it in the correct location...""<br/>""I sense a drawback...""<br/>""To my disappointment, yes. While the Psionic beacon, being on a much smaller scale, with attack the minds of any within it's radius regardless of it's deployment zone, the Amplifier is not as forgiving on placement. Due to the electromagnetic fields and energy fields of planets, I sense there would be approximately four places per planet that it could be deployed. If it was deployed anywhere else, it would not be able to subject the planet""<br/>""Time?""<br/>""With the Psionic beacon, it should take about thirty minutes to fully subject the location around the beacon. The Psionic Amplifiers time is unknown, but I believe it would be at least five hours""<br/>""Level required?""<br/>""I believe only the strongest of Psionics could use the Amplifier... an individual would need their psionics and then Intelligence mark of at least 115 (Earth IQ: 920) and...""<br/>""So the average Field Master would be able to use it...""<br/>""Yes, but his underlings would be unlikely to be able to interface with it correctly.""<br/>""And the beacon?""<br/>""Mark of at least 102 (Earth IQ: 816)""<br/>""Well within the limits of most Triarii in that case then.""<br/>""Indeed, this is with fine tuning to the Triarian Form, if I hadn't tuned it's neural relays we would be looking at a much higher number"" The Argutus said, as he turned, grinning at the attention and slowly leaving the podium. Another stepped up to the podium<br/>""I have my work to put forwards as well."" He said, raising his hand to the hologram as it changed to a strange looking weapon ""This is the Dark Energy Rifle. It works by firing minute Dark Energy shots at a target from a miniature dark energy generator within. A deadly weapon, anything the shots come into contact with would be destroyed as the shots burrow their way through. It has two modes of fire. An automatic, which would fire shots towards enemy targets, a launcher for a Dark Energy ball, that would plough through anything it hits and could be 'controlled' by the user of the weapon.""<br/>""Miniature dark energy generator?""<br/>""Yes, you heard correctly... it's power is about enough to fire the weapon for thirty rounds at a time, or a single energy ball, after which it will need to regenerate... to remedy this, it had four of these small reactors contained in cells,cycling around this section of the gun at the press of a button. The cells will be regenerated by the Dark Energy within as they head around, and after reaching the barrel of the gun will be fully charged and available for use.""<br/>""Stable?""<br/>""It is in development, the technology for the miniaturised generator is still in development, but once it is done the weapon will be able to be produced""<br/>""This sounds like it will require significant resource investment once it is completed to produce""<br/>""Yes, I would advise making it an Elite weapon, allowing Elites to choose to field this weapon""<br/>""Self destruct?""<br/>""Upon the users death, the four generators will be destabalised, producing a small version of the same self destruct we use on our ships, The weapon will be completely destroyed, along with some of the soldier using it"" He said, turning and heading off the podium. Another Argutus stood, heading up to present his sections project<br/><br/>Sanctum<br/><br/>""Stage four complete"" The report came, and the world now had planetary energy shielding ready to be deployed if necessary, All the buildings that had been placed on the tubes reconfigured themselves into something else, from manufactures to defenses to living quarters, the new world was produced, ready for usage as a fortress of sorts The environment and it's structures were stunning... but the Overlord was not impressed. The Overlord grimaced, he wasn't impressed with the overall quality, more could be done."

They practice a religion, more so structured as a set of governmental and family practices rather than religious devotion, known as Galdoskialism, named after the man who originally developed the ideals; Serusis Galdosk'mum. The Moghuls live in a series of small villages and practice older, although somewhat modernized customs. As a result, they're considered the ""Orientals"" of Sazkarjhia, and are one of the few groups not persecuted by Zarwaunists due to their strong defense of the ideals.<br/><br/>Most notable about this clan, the Mumaso (Unique to here, as others like Tumallani and Kumador are specific to different regions, e.g. Dumark is indigenous to Daraban), is that each family's heirloom is a blade. They very between families but each one has the firstborn carry and use a sword that their ancestors forged in the past. They are considered skillful with this for melee combat and thus prefer it over ranged weaponry. Why this is stated is because several members of the Mumaso clan serve in the Peoples' Military. Many of them are lower down the chain of command, but the 8th Brigade, 3rd Battalion commander--Captain Aramas Baltoko'mum--is one of the highest, who uses a long, single-edged sword forged from steel with a long grip. It is also known that many of the Mumaso clan are also vagabond Sazkarjhians, or Pirates.<br/><br/>Why they use the demonym ""Moguhl"" is still largely unknown. We believe it may pertain to the Mogus Cave System, and they adopted the name as the first village has been known to be established there. Overall, the Moguhls are mysterious, and even those serving among the Sazkarjhian soldiers do not testify many of their origins. Perhaps it is for this reason that so little is known about their culture. That, and normal Sazkarjhians are not permitted to enter their territory. More research is being done, but until then we know very little else.<br/><br/><i>Sazkarjhia Archaeological Registry; Daraban Satellite Office<br/>Dr Milo Terrakas'dum - Head Researcher</i><br/><br/><b>Research and Development</b><br/><br/>The Sazkarjhia Defense Firm has taken upon themselves to begin development on an oxygen capsule.

It will take some time, but now that Sazkarjhit are to travel out, and to help with vagabonds struggling to maintain with the same air as other species, it is being done for public, rather than military use, although it may see some action on the battlefield in urban situations.<br/><br/>Development Status:<br/>Oxygen Capsule: 3%"

He took the Hardlight Sniper rifle and took aim, before firing on a second target... The shot collided, taking a large chunk of the target off and disintegrating it.<br/>Next to him was a Draconian Synth, armed with a dark energy rifle, firing at the target before him, the shots piercing it with ease and completely destroying the nearby organic flesh surrounding the point if entry. He tried the Dark Energy ball kode, and the ball game out, smashing the target and completely disintergrating it before flying down range. He pressed the secondary trigger again and the energy ball exploded, deleting everything around it.<br/>On the next range, Ten new blood Triarian officers stood at the bottom of the range as dark energy rounds and hardlight was fired at them. They performed admirably, their eyes glowing orange as they communicated, massive psionic energy shields appearing, blocking some shots as other officers absorbed the energy as some of the shots approached and redirected it to keep the barriers online. All around this chamber, and some surrounding it, many tests were being performed on many different new technologies. A visitor might mistake this for a good day for Triarian science, but it was mostly average. This facility alone tested tens of thousands of different technologies a day, ranging from weapons, psionic beacons, shields, synths, ai, gravity, world building advances, suppression fields, medical advances, new ship parts, biolock upgrades... Anything and everything could be tested in facilities like these, which dotted the landscape of every world under Collective control and descended miles deep.

Every move is calculated to use just the right amount of force to achieve what you want, no more, no less. In wartime, we are in harmony with our enemy, we understand them and use that understanding to defeat them. Harmony and understanding, those are the key principles of our combat technique. However, as was once said by a fictional character named Ender 'In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them'. Though we were created as warriors, we live longing for peace.

They fought their way into cities, plasma and hardlight filling the air as the Collective fought their way through towards the center of each City.<br/>In the Capital of the Aru'Shumi Homeworld, the government building, a massive palace, was half destroyed from the heavily fighting as marchers fired warp cannons at buildings, collapsing sky scrappers onto the floor with deadly consequences, crushing the enemy. Finally, the Psionic beacon was dropped in the center of the palace courtyard. The Emperor of the Aru'Shumi took out his steel sword in one hand, holding a balistic pistol in the other<br/>""ARU! MURI PRE NI'SHUM!"" The Emperor yelled, and he and his soldiers opened fire on the Collective forces that filed into the courtyard. Streams of plasma and hardlight returned on them. The Emperor watched in horror as several of his soldiers were hit, Lightrifle shots going clean through their armour and taking off parts of limbs, and plasma melting them. His only son stood from behind some cover and went to fire his pistol, only to find he was out of ammo. Tossing it to the side, the young boy pulled a sword from it's scabbard<br/>""Muri pre ni'shum!"" He yelled, and leaped over the cover to charge towards the enemy, and the Emperor watched in horror as his son fell to the floor, clutching his head and yelling in pain. One of the strange, small aliens floated down from above, his visor changing to be transparent as he came down, his eyes glowing a brilliant orange. The Aru'Shumi forces turned their weaponry to fire on him, but the bullets raised into the air to be met by a shimmering shield which appeared before him as he raised his hand. Then the strange alien spoke in a vocoded voice<br/>""Aru'Shumi! Shu'lo, po kar muri"" The Alien said, and the Emperor stepped forwards, dropping his weaponry and yelling an order to the Aru'Shumi<br/>""Shu'lo! Shu'lo!"" He yelled, and they in turned dropped their weapons. Strange aliens flew forwards, thrusters appearing to run into their body, with no legs and some form of plating grafted in their place, and entered the room, their weapons ready, barking instructions. The Aru'Shumi hesitantly moved forwards into the courtyard, the smaller, robotic soldier like aliens producing a small device as they were ordered to face the wall. They complied, the Emperor fearing for his still screaming son, and they soon discovered what the devices were as they were bound by energy cuffs. The son stopped screaming and fell to the floor, whimpering as he was subjected to the energy cuffs as well. Another dropship came down, and an alien that was similar to the one with strange powers arrived, but it was clear his uniform wasn't battle armour. He approached the strange beacon that had been dropped in the center of the caught yard and activated it, his eyes glowing orange as he hooked himself up to it. The Aru'Shumi watched the scene in confusion and fear<br/><br/>Same Galaxy, other side<br/><br/>The peaceful contact was proceeding well, and the species had been remarkably friendly. Still, they were no closer to realising their goal than when they began. The Argutus sighed as he examined the streets from a window as he awaited the return of their host"

They continue to spread anti-Kepler propaganda, though some of it borders on anti-Equestrian. Obviously, these posters have been ripped apart and burned by most of the citizens, most of whom want a peaceful solution. It seems that every second a civilian message is sent through the public commnet towards Equiis Pact space, specifically the Kepler Alliance area, all of them apologizing for the idiocy of their leaders. Interestingly enough, multiple tractatori have been deployed into the streets. The official explanation is that they are conducting a ""uninterruptive survey"" to see what the citizens think about about the Kepler Alliance.

Dark energy had already been proven to be what keeps the universe going, it essentially counteracted gravity and let it keep expanding. As such, this experiment had two purposes. The first being testing a dark energy weapon, the second being to see if that weapon can be used as an excuse to harvest enough dark energy to halt universal expansion within the local group of galaxies so that they do not meet the inevitable fate of the ""big rip"".<br/>""Deactivate containment field, observe effects.""<br/>The voice was unmistakable, deep but feminine, with an aggressive twist to the whole thing.<br/>""Yes, Admiral Sora.""<br/>The sensors of the lab showed the image of a star system, all of the planets there were barren of course, and it was determined by hundreds of mathematicians that the system would never produce life. As the detonation signal reached the dark energy bomb, the star was thrust apart from the inside as globs of stellar material were ejected out by the dark energy's push. Some impacted the planets, devastating their surfaces. After about an hour, the system has been ripped apart, and the remaining fragments flew away from the dark energy.<br/>""Counteract""<br/>The dark energy was recaptured using another container, and safely returned to the lab's heavy containment area.<br/>""Good job, your research might one day save the universe.

The workers were setting up the dormitory beds and some more electrical and magical wiring for the ship, and hired crews and troops awaiting to enter the ship were falling in line towards its entrance. The assigned captain?<br/><br/>No one other than the famed Retsukuu Yomo herself.<br/><br/>The starbridge was a dark room, keeping in line with the tradition of Makudan design. Only monitor and hologram interfaces lit it up, in a reddish hue. The decorative neon lines on the crew uniforms also lit up in the same color, giving them at least some visibility in the room. On the center front of the starbridge was the captain's seat, and here she laid down on the backrest, smoking an exotic cigar with a fragrant smell. Her young appearance sometimes mistake spectating foreigners (if there is any) into thinking of minor smoking, but this is attributed to her agelessness from--- again, biological engineering. She didn't mind the announcement from the speaker about the entrance of the crews and the completion of the finishing touches, although when everyone was inside the ship, she looked back, towards her crowd, which are apparently nervous from meeting a supreme-order politician and a military head.<br/><br/>""You ready, boys?""

The telekinetic specialists inside the ship surrounded a large device that amplified telekinetic powers enough to move small celestial bodies with group work. Once they have moved it off-orbit and towards the planet, they released hold, then the starbridge watched as the moon slowly descended to the planet, until it outright collides with 492-OCW and turns it into a molten hunk of rock, killing its inhabitants. The telekinetics took a rest, apparently fatigued. Seeing how the planet is now worthless, except for the minerals, fleets of mining ships exit from the bay of the Forbidden Harbinger. The reason for the destruction of the planet itself instead of only its surface was due to many vacant worlds still existing in Makudan territories, and also to test the capabilities of the new telekinetic amplification device."

Crassus said, as he aides stood silent, sharing glances with one another as Crassus spoke<br/><br/>Aru'Shumi (Eng: Most honourable ones)<br/>Triarian standard name: honoratissimus aviarius (Eng: Honourable avian)<br/><br/>The Aru'Shumi evolved from avian creatures. They are average sized aliens, their avian ancestry giving them a bird-like beak and long quills protruding from their heads like hair. Smaller quills, possibly the evolutionary remnants of feathers, can be found scattered over their bodies. Maybe the most prominent feature of the Aru'Shumi is that they evolve in two ways. The primary manner is the standard reproductive means, but they can evolve in a secondary manner by selecting traits of their defeated foes to absorb through eating them. Due to this, the inhabitants of different Aru'Shumi planets can be very diverse. This ability is very limited, however. For instance, changes are slow, and the traits that are acquired are the lower end of the spectrum. For example, eating Triarii would not grant them Psionic ability, but would result in the Aru'Shumi evolving for a minor increase in intelligence.<br/>They have a very strict structure of honour. While they do not have a god they believe in the 'Warrior Spirit'. They believe that when a warrior of any race dies, his warrior spirit should be kept, and the only way to do this is by reusing his flesh, sometimes by eating it and sometimes by turning it into clothing. With the arrival of the Triarii, the Collective has exploited this through the use of body recycling, the Aru'Shumi heavily in support of this idea. The idea of the 'Warrior Spirit' was retained as part of their culture, albeit 'Warrior Spirit' now being synonymous with a new idea from the Collective, 'Warrior Genes'. This sort of combination of culture is far from rare within the Collective<br/>Their leader is the Emperor of the Aru'Shumi, who is now a member of the Primicerii Xenos, and the Aru'Shumi are now officially a client race of the Collective. The majority of the Aru'Shumi surrendered to the Collective upon the Emperors orders, as disobeying the orders of a superior is seen as even more dishonourable than surrendering. Despite this, there is some resistance on a handful of planets, and the Collective is working quickly to stomp it out."

Crassus had a crazy plan<br/>From what he could tell from the Asari biology, there were some form of nodules throughout the nervous system. These were presumably caused by this 'Eezo'... god he hated that term. These Nodules were essentially benign cancerous cells, which explained Eezo causing cancer. If the cancerous cells were benign then the individual would have these nodules, and given their location on the nervous system, they could be stimulated. In the Asari they were all synchronised in their usage, which meant they could produce these fields. Given the natural nervous system of the Asari, which was vastly different to the other species in both the collective and the Equiis pact, it would seem the others wouldn't achieve this... so he needed to sunchronise them...<br/><br/>New Units<br/><br/>Habitat Walker:<br/>The towering Habitat Walker has four long, but bulky legs that it uses for movement and sports dozens of plasma cannons and hardlight turrets. It also has two massive warp cannons and sports a sort of low powered energy projector on it's main body. The walker contains many sophisticated teleporation systems, hallways, storage bays for synths and mechs, which are beamed down through it's teleporation system. The Walker's upper body is somewhat shaped like a lopsided hexagon.<br/>The sheer size of the Walker allows it to destroy many buildings by simply stepping on them with its legs. The walker is also truly ""all terrain"", able to climb cliffs and mountains or wade through lakes and even be fully submerged. It's external armour is extremely thick, battle ship grade with shielding, making it hard to destroy with most grond based weapon. Rather, enemies should destroy its hardpoints to expose the walker's internal workings, then break the dark energy cores protective casing and from there destabalise the dark energy core through damage.<br/><br/>Assembly Walker:<br/>Like the Habitat Walker, the Assembly Walker is a massive, quadrupedal walker armed with plasma cannons and a teleportion system. It is more than twice the size of the habitat walker, making it a gargantuan walker. The Walker's upper body features two large 'arms' that are covered in weaponry on either side of the main body and a giant teleport device on its back. The assembly walker has hundreds of plasma cannons and hardlight turrets. It sports four massive warp cannons on each arm, and has a newly designed armament, the Dark Engery Caster on it's main body. The Assembly walker acts as a sort of walking manufactorum, producing synths and mechs as it advances across the world, through supplies that are teleported to it en mass<br/>Like the other large walkers, the Assembly Walker can crush almost anything in its path and traverse nearly any terrain, including cliffs. The sheer size of the Walker allows it to destroy many buildings by simply stepping on them with its legs. The walker is also truly ""all terrain"", able to climb cliffs and mountains or wade through lakes and even be fully submerged. It's external armour is extremely thick, even stronger than that of the habitat walker. Enemies should destroy its hardpoints to expose the walker's internal workings, and from there disable it's internal energy shielding, followed by it's internal protective casing then the dark energy core can be destabalised, causing a self destruction<br/><br/>Reaper Drones<br/><br/>The Reaper Drone is a mech that is essentially a mobile teleporter for breaking down materials (organic or not) and teleporting them to supply ships or assembly walkers. Each Reaper Drone possesses advanced artificial intelligence that allows it to distinguish between different materials and collect them in a prioritised order based on how easy they are to break down, how much of each resource is required etc. The Reaper Drone's teleporation beam works by breaking down an object and teleporting it away over short distances. They have a Heavy Plasma Machine Gun to help defend them, but often they simply use their beam to break down and teleport any enemies who attempt to attack them."

No one was inside the diner at the time, and the blinds were closed, so it was safe enough. The foreigners finally came out, to which he signalled them to follow. He led them to a window, and opened the blinds slightly so they could see just a little: A clear view of the hills.<br/><br/>""3...2...1...let the show begin"" he said. A loud explosion could be seen, encasing the entire valley inside a series of mushroom clouds spreading across hills.

The military base located inside Tracy-The colonial military base; the base that sympathized with the colonials- also began to prepare their local Koyot and Pol teams. Cobras jeeps and Viper tanks were fueled up, patrolling the outskirts of the bases' territory.

He had implanted the new device into two of them, and one of them had died already... Tragic, but expected for a first attempt. The tuning on the device had been wrong, he had tweaked it for the second subject and it appeared to be working. He approached the, his eyes lighting bright orange as he examined the energy flow. The Anaesthetic had worn off now, all that was required was for the subject to awake. His eyes intensity increased, and the Asari awoke as the energy flow through her brain was changed at Crassus command<br/>""Apologies for abruptly waking you, it is required that we check the energy flow now."" Crassus said as his aide placed a single object, a small chunk of wood at the foot of the bed<br/>""Project the field and change the mass of the object... make it float."" The Umbrae Populus aide said, and the Asari sat up, nodding weakly. The Asari extended her arm, and there was a flow of bluish energy as the 'Eezo' nodules synchronised, projecting the field around the piece of wood, which hovered into the air as it's mass was changed. The Asari let it fall a moment later, and the Triarian Aides eyes lit up as the object floated into the air again as the Triarian examined it<br/>""No permanent change"" He reported ""I would call this a success""<br/>""The devices require improvements, the amplification is minor, I assume they could definitely affect heavier objects with the correct training and implementation"" Crassus said, and the aide nodded in agreement. The suspended piece of wood burst into flames as the Triarian aide turned to Crassus<br/>""Test two"" The aide replied replied, as the ash from the burnt up wood fell to the floor, turning back to the Asari ""Use the field to raise all the particles of ash at once"" The Asari nodded again and once more the energy flowed around her from the Eezo nodules. The ash raised from the floor slowly, before hovering in the air. The Asari looked to the aide, who held a dish under the ash so that when the effect ended it would not dirty the floor<br/>""The basics are completed then. I think with some improvements the device will be more useful than it is now."" Crassus said, turning away from the Asari and moving back to the monitors, reviewing them<br/><br/>New Synths<br/><br/>Synth Sharpshooter<br/>The Synth sharpshooter is a heavily augmented Aru'Shumi carnivores. It's natural features, when augmented, make it extremely accurate, their birdlike eyes perfect for sharpshooting. On top of this, they are fairly quick and strong, although not to the level of many other synths. They are armed with the Hardlight Rifle, making them extremely deadly and they fill the role of designated marksman.<br/><br/>Synth Skirmisher<br/>The Synth Skirmisher is a heavily augmented Aru'Shumi Runner. It's natural features, when augmented, make it perfect for a fast attack unit, being quick and agile. They would be armed with a light plasma rifle as they dash around their enemies, leaping to heights and scouting out terrain. They fill the role of a scout and, along with the hunter, fast attack unit<br/><br/>Synth Guardian<br/>The Synth Guardian is a heavily augmented Aru'Shumi Carnivore. It is the strongest of the three Aru'Shumi Synths, though they are not as strong as the Saeva Simius, and they are equipped with a handgun and a point defense gauntlet, which is a wrist mounted directional shield, large enough for them to hide behind. They are used for holding positions, creating phalanxes with their point defense gauntlets, and are often used to support Stalkers, guarding them from flanking enemies so that the Stalkers can snipe<br/><br/>Crab Synth: The Crab Synth has many spiked protrusions and various mechanical systems on its front and rear. It can charge at targets to do large amounts of impact damage due to it's size, crushing bones and damaging targets as it does. It is equipped with a heavy plasma machine gun which is stored under its belly when not in use, hidden behind a plate.<br/><br/>Mortar Synth: The Mortar Synth consists of a fleshy, triangular body with a mortar located on its back. Its front end features many spiked protrusions and various mechanical systems. Hovering low above the ground, it uses its mortar to hit far away targets, blowing up enemies before they can get close to the main forces. It acts as a sort of support unit, softening up enemy targets or supressing them while the main force moves into position<br/><br/>New Mech Unit<br/>The Triarian let out a wide grin as he watched the newly designed tank. The Phasing Generator had taken a long time to create, but now it was working and the Phase Assault Platform was finally completed.<br/><br/>Phase Assault Platform: The Phase Assault Platform, sometimes refereed to as Phase Tanks are a half-saucer shaped craft with a single warp cannon mounted on the it's underside, and dual heavy plasma machine guns on each of it's 'wings'. On the top of the tank is what appears to be a lone optical sensor built into the vehicle's ""head"". Phase Assault Platforms are able to traverse almost any terrain and cross deep water with no difficulties as they are hovering. On top of this, Phase Assault Platforms are equipped with a phasing generator, which works in a similar way to the trans-dimensional drive, only instead of fully taking them to the other dimension it leaves them in a sort of limbo, half in this dimension and half in the other, allowing them to pass through solid objects (such as structures and even the ground) and rendering them immune to any sort of damage while the Phasing generator is active. They cannot, however, do any damage while phased as their weaponry is also between worlds and cannot be fired as a result. If they shut off their phasing generator while inside a solid object, the results are disasterous for both the object and the Phase Assault Platform. The Phasing Generator can remain active for periods of up to six hours at a time, after which it will shut it's self off, forcing the Phase Assault Platform back into this universe. The Phasing Generator takes a thirty seconds to activate, so it cannot be used to phase in and out to avoid enemy fire. The Phase Assault Platform is also able to hover up off the ground to reach high places, and it can rotate its 'wings' to enable it to act as an fighter air craft, soaring across the skies to assist in air combat."

Negative energy wasn't even thought of, and particle accelerators were still billion-dollar projects taken on by governments.

She looked up to see a huge airliner, belching exhaust out of a dozen or so ports to its aft. Soot fell from it as it steamed on, hitting the umbrellas of the citizens during its slow fall downwards. She called a cab, which was constructed out of incredibly light and weak materials to allow it to be propelled by electricity instead of the alternative land steamers found in some of the less advanced nations. A few international credits were pressed into the driver's hand, as Lahna ordered him to drive her to the airport, where she planned to catch a liner to the capital what everyone considered the most advanced nation.<br/>After all, a single corporation, no matter how large, wouldn't cut it for this huge of a project."

I should mention he's considered a reputable source, especially on the subject of a religion belief, as he is incredibly hard to persuade towards a belief. The Abh belief has no name, but it is well developed. It too promotes harmony and peace, although it is peace by any means. Some of the best combat schools are operated by the unified church, and subscribers to the belief are usually picked first to enter along with Church of Faust members. I know that sounds intolerant, but it's really more of a way of weeding out the individuals who won't understand the philosophy behind our way of fighting. Oh yeah, us Abh sorta worship stars... well, not really.

He weighed the benefits of each, but simply couldn't decide on one. Besides, he was already a believer in the Draconian goddess.<br/>""Well, I'm already a Draconian. That probably means I'll have to wait to get to a core planet.""<br/>""Oh not at all!"" The Abh said ""I'm a CoF member, as well as a New Hindu, Muslim, and Final Frontier Christian! Also Abh, of course.""<br/>""Then I think I'd like a combination of the two ceremonies.""<br/>The human, without saying a word, slowly lifted his hand up to the Draconian's forehead equivalent.<br/>""With Faust as my witness, I proclaim your name to be Ted.""<br/>The Abh then whispered in the Draconian's ear: ""Look up.""<br/>The Draconian did so, seeing the twinkling stars in the sky. It was perfect for the Abh ceremony. The human continued, using all of his strength to keep his sentences unbroken.<br/>""May star fire bear you to touch the universe beyond, and find the wonders that lay beyond what you know.""<br/>Has Clark talked, Ted felt so right.

The colonial militias stationed in the colonies have for the most part aided the rebellions, with most of the outer colonies (690+) already fending off the military. The campaign is to secede from the current state of Zonan, and eventually destroy the current state completely. All freed colonial planets have established an unofficial nation: The Colonial Powers of Zonan (CPZ). Most of the colonies 690- have been met by fierce opposition of the military, who have began to mobilize their reserves to stomp the insurrection.<br/><br/>The CPZ has called for galactic aid, stating that the Zonanese Empire has ""failed to allow the colonial planets to survive, failed to supply the colonial planets with the basic necesities that cannot be supplied on the planet itself without illegal actions, and failed to keep the colonial opinion of the Trinity a good one. The Trinity is a tyranny, they must be ended""<br/><br/><b> Colony 257 </b><br/><br/>The radio was kept as low as possible, but everyone could hear the conversation.<br/><br/>""Commander Ru, we need to abandon this area, we're taking the kid and guess with us"" said Kal.<br/><br/>""Kal, we both know how complicated this is becoming, you know what's happening everywhere else, yeah?""<br/><br/>""I should know, and I should know that a sh*t-load of colonies just rebelled""<br/><br/>""Besides, what do you think we can do with them when they get out of the atmosphere?

The base quickly opened the gates to let the truck in, and closing it tightly once they had entered. The militia was still reluctant in helping, but by this point, they have no choice. The death toll has ramped up significantly, and if they were going to get foreigners out of the planet, they basically guranteed who they were loyal to. So instead of sitting around and letting the military stomp through the rebel lines, the militia launched a counter attack. VenZ fighters and bombers quickly rained plasma bombs onto military-mechs. Gult missiles were fired onto enemy AA sites. Enemy soldiers also now had to deal with Cobra jeeps and Conda tanks, who were swarming the hills with drughan artillery and gatlings.<br/><br/>The group quickly abandoned the truck, and ran over to the nearest C-craft.<br/><br/>""Can you drive, humans?"" asked one of the men acompanying the group.<br/><br/><b>Planet by the Shipyard</b><br/><br/>REPORT:<br/>MESSAGE TO: Commander Reyes II<br/><br/><i> Send more ships immediately...we found something you might like to see</i><br/><br/><b>Shipyard</b><br/><br/>The wolverines quickly left the scene, noticing that the sarkazjhit were waiting for them to leave.

However, we ask that the following rules and stipulations are adhered to:;<br/><br/>I. We will not have our own kind use magic, nor will we tolerate it being influenced onto others on our soil. We believe that magic and divine powers are only reserved to the gods. Any Sazkarjhian who is seen using magic will be convicted of heresy and heavenly defiance, and will be sentenced to death by firing squad.<br/><br/>II. Physical augmentation is only reserved for the Commandos belonging to the Sazkarjhian Defense Firm. They already use genetic augmentation for increased strength and mental capability.<br/><br/>III. If anyone that is part of the pact has any sort of affiliation with Sazkarjhian Pirates, we ask that we are given the right to take them into our custody for questioning. We severely condemn pirate activity and even Sazkarjhit who are convicted interacting with the pirates will be sentenced to death by firing squad.<br/><br/>IV. We will allow the Equiis Pact Military to use the abilities of the Order of the Grand Vessel's Sword. However, due to their use as Sazkarjhia, Trimubelo III and Markada Minor's police forces, we will only allow about one third to one half of the OGVS to be part of the military.<br/><br/>V. Pact members are not allowed to access the Daramaska Industrial Region due to its largely uninhabitable state and because of Sazkarjhit military projects being conducted there. They will have limited access to the Bellaran Agricultural Region due to many there still being indifferent or hostile to other groups, and to, as was agreed, protect the cultural identity of certain groups, such as the Moguhls. The Karboria Government District will only be accessed by higher leadership bodies in the pact, due to worry that an anti-Sazkarjhit assailant may attempt to attack a government official. However, the Gamaria Residential and Commercial Region is open for those to visit or lodge, (Where we can provide electrolysis and rebreathers for those that need oxygen to breath, as well as special capsules that can temporarily change body chemistry, and allow those who breathe other atmosphere to be able to breathe in the chlorine that makes up most of our own). The Borsarsa Mercantile Region has already been opened to Equestrian Empire members, and thus those who wish to trade are free to come there. <br/><br/>VI. We do not require, but we wish to have a small number of groups within the Pact to help provide military support if necessary. We will be able to train them like our own units.<br/><br/>Besides these requests, we have agreed to join the Equiis Pact</i>"

This was because many of the colonials were focused on ridding of the seeds, while the Empire has completely ignored them (why should they care, it's an enemy planet).

Tune Station was built on a large piece of rock inside an asteroid belt. It served as a mining station, harnessing minerals and ores alike. Military personell stationed there was generally low, due to the unheard of activity in this region of space. It was a perfect place to take control of for rebel conspirators. That's exactly what they did, some time ago, right after the new Trinity began an era of oppression. Now, Tune Station is staged as the command center, and the CPZ capitol. The Asteroid field has turned into a bustling community of evacuees and its own civilians. Those looking for a better life would find it inside this system.<br/><br/>So it became a pleasure to see Equiis Generals and diplomats enter the system, a first taste of diplomacy without having to send distress messages or mass murdering soldiers.<br/><br/>A video was sent to the ships with the background the flag of the Colonial Powers and text in Equestrian displayed on top of the background.<br/><i>Welcome to Tune Station, the capitol of the Colonial Powers; docking stations are highlighted on this map (a map popped onto screen at this point).

Each one fires much larger seeds that, instead of moving straight down like the others, turn and begin moving to positions all across the world. 8 of these seeds were fired from each; these would each grow into terraforming stations. For repairing and colonization purposes, both of the Seeder Ships move to the opposite poles of the planet, move to face the ship's rear to aline with the pole, and then descend. Upon reaching the planet's surface, the Seeder Ships impact, sending debris and dust clouds rolling for thousands of miles, and very rapidly begin growing into the ground.<br/><br/><b> In the surrounding space of Colony 257</b><br/><br/>With sudden holes of strangeness appearing in front of many Seeder Ships, they begin to reverse.

Moments later, a thousand more Seeder Ships, easily being one of the biggest gatherings of Seeder Ships in Seeder Ship history, fold in simultaneously. However, these folded in randomly, so they are now scattered around the planet, inside hostile fleets, within the atmosphere and accelerating out, in front of an asteroid, or alone from the others, they are all distanced from each other, and they are all of random coordinate jumps in the general orbit from Colony 257. Each ship that is in orbit or in atmo immediately fires a dozen more seeds to the planet, the total amount of seeds on the planet very nearly doubling in a few minutes.<br/><br/>Then all the ships begin moving towards the EA fleets, and their warp areas. This time, however, some of them made it through, having been folded right in the middle of the fleets, or right where the warp point was.

The ships, already in the Arrow formation, began to transfer shield strength to the ships closer to the point of the fleet, and the shields of all ships aligned to form a sharp wall, strongest at the IFV McClain. The Seeder ships hit that wall at full speed, and the one headed straight for the McClain was split directly in half. The shields near the back of the formation were completely ripped apart, along with the ships creating them. The wall as a whole was weakened, but it seemed like most of the Seeder ships had been taken out by ramming the barrier.

Of course, there had to be a backup plan. In the event that the planet is taken by the Seeders, an entire civilization will be built underwater, and a single dark matter explosive will be manufactured.

It then became apparent that the Seeders had made a mistake in trying to attack AIF planets. Their planets had undergone constant fortification efforts for ten years straight, and every single one had extensive orbital weaponry platforms, along with missile batteries containing millions of mobile antimatter mines.

For all the envy land creatures had for them, they had an equal amount of envy for land creatures. Some of them stopped to look at the boy, as none of them had ever seen a Hach before. However, they all left after a while towards the clicks and whistles of their commanding officers telling them to get back to work. They boy also saw the unique instrumentation of the ship, and he could see the Dolphins gracefully manipulating the craft using echolocation to ripple the water in just the right place so as to be picked up by scanners connected to control circuits. Yes, they could have used AI, but Dolphins seemed to love doing things on their own. Eventually, the boy came upon a translation interface used to communicate with the Dolphins.

Human history is littered with wars like the one between you and the Sazkarjhit. The Common Sense War was basically a relapse of earlier religious wars, brought on by increasing tension and the ability of religious leaders to make their followers do anything they wanted done. On our planet, religions weren't created due to actual events like most non-Terran ones. Religion first began as a way to explain things that humans could not comprehend at the time, but it soon morphed into nothing more than a way of controlling people. That's why the wars were fought. The soldiers thought it was over truth and proving they were right, but the leaders knew it was only so they could have more people under their control. Since the Doctrinal Conflict, we've somewhat banned organized religion. All religious meetings need to rotate priests to prevent power corruption, and they have to add equality for people of all religions into their holy texts. It really is too bad that human religion didn't evolve like yours did, they could have advanced so fast without all the wars getting in their way.""<br/><br/><b>Encyclopedia Entry, Fergus McClain</b><br/><span class=""bb-u"">NOTE: Article moderated due to importance.</span><br/>Fergus McClain was born on September 5th, 2000 on the planet Earth (Terra), in a territory held by the United States of America. In 2023, when the 3rd World War broke out, he was drafted by the United States Navy to fight in the Pacific Theater. Not willing to kill innocents (The USA had attacked first due to claims fabricated by the incredibly racist president at the time), Fergus went AWOL off the coast of Canada. Stealing a lifeboat, he landed in British Columbia and was rescued by an underground resistance movement fighting the Americans (Whom had attacked Canada as well due to their opposition to the Asian war). The movement was led by a radical supporter of civil rights, who had moved to Canada to escape the prejudice of America. Her name was Lia Sora, with a relation to the current Admiral Yuuki Sora. While still living with them in Canada, they got news that the vessel Fergus was stationed on (the USS Freedom) was destroyed by a Chinese fleet sent in a desperate attempt to destroy essential USA Naval production facilities. Taking advantage of the situation, Fergus took the original lifeboat he had with him and headed for California. Once he arrived, he told them he was the only survivor and had lived on the lifeboat for months. Reports are disputed, but it is likely that he implied the destruction of multiple Chinese troop transports by himself in the last hours of the ship. Though the President didn't believe him, he decided to use the story as propaganda to get more recruits. The president invited Fergus to a banquet in his honor, but Fergus' whole story was nothing more than a ruse to get close to the President and his cabinet. He poisoned the food and drink with Cyanide, killing the President along with his cabinet within hours. With the organizational structure temporarily in disarray, the Chinese were able to launch successful attacks on production facilities, crippling the US military. The resistance movement then swept through the USA, taking a large chunk of their land. Many years later, in 2047, Fergus McClain announced the completion of an interstellar drive system in orbit of Earth (Terra) by KeyTech, a company that had bought out nearly all other private spaceflight firms. Being the CEO and somewhat eccentric, he appointed himself as the commander of the mission that would utilize the Matter/Antimatter drive system. The mission went exactly as planned, and Fergus McClain returned as the first human to set foot on an exosolar planet. Since then, he has become on eof the most prominent leaders in Federation history. He has given credit to good luck for most of it."

He was raised in the Karboria Governmental District of Sazkar Major. At the age of 25, his father appointed him as his heir apparent. He left, and studied Theology and Religious Theory at the Gamaria Central University in the Gamaria Residential and Business District from the time he was 30 for 12 years. At the age of 203, Vessel Kargalo Suar'kum passed away of natural causes, causing Damwar to take power at the age of 50. During this time, Sazkar prospered. During his reign, military development increased by nearly 600%, the colony of Trimubelo III was founded, and the Sazkarjhit sphere of influence swelled dramatically. Nations and races were beginning to connect. This type of conquest had not occurred for centuries, through several Grand Vessels, and it was clear as to why that was: That much imperialism lets power get to one's head at an alarming rate. Vessel Suar'kum's campaigns became more aggressive, and less forgiving than the last. He instilled his dogma into conquered peoples; forcing them to convert to Zarwaunism, or face a brutal and fiery demise. He had exercised complete intersystem dominion, and as a result he began to develop into a tyrant.<br/><br/>When the Zonanese were discovered, Damwar saw this as a new way to expand further, and take over a new entire empire, and he launched an offensive against them in a string of battles that would be later known as the Crusading Period. The Zonanese planet of Domu was bombarded by naval forces, but managed to be repelled by races banding together to assist the troubled Haches. They had eventually reached Sazkar, and all fell into discord after that. Something inside of the Vessel's head snapped, and he suddenly became crazed and extremely paranoid. On June 8th, 2148 C.C., he was put to death in a ceremonial execution atop Mount Karbor. It seemed at first that all was lost, and then Fakeem took the reigns.<br/><br/>Fakeem Suar'kum was born on April, 2120 C.C., and at the young age of 18, was appointed as heir apparent. When his father died, Fakeem officially became not only the youngest of the Kumari clan to become Vessel, but the youngest Sazkarjhit in history. However, he led the reformation of Sazkarjhia, and managed to rebuild the bridges that his father torched. Years later, Fakeem began to seek diplomatic connections with other races that had once warred with the Sazkarjhit. In 2165 (aprox.), Sazkarjhia became a member nation of the Equiis Pact for economical and diplomatic reasons.<br/><br/><i>Doctor Sayra Lano'dum, Senior Research Director<br/>Sazkarjhia Archaeological Registry, Northern Karboria Office</i>"

The project dates to over 4,000 years ago, and resulted in the proof that contact with the human race have been already been made ages ago, but so far, its biggest impact was the creation of a huge cult following, a huge contribution to the human concept of ""religion"". The details is as follows.<br/><br/>Project 7128-2810 was a small experiment on the topic whether it was possible to accelerate a civilization's technological evolution by direct magical telepathic communication. (Telepathy is rarely used today due to the dominance of communication devices, though it can still prove useful, but only ranges up to stratospheric levels.) Theo was performed on a certain racial group of Middle-Eastern men in slavery, closely studying their language and using simple language to escort the slaves into freedom while directly sending a single soldier to slay certain members of the masters of the oppressed (event dubbed as the<b>Passover</b>). The freed men were then instructed certain tasks to ensure their self-independence, leading to the establishment of what was called<b>Israel.</b>Due to the corrupt tendencies of the newborn nation decades later, a diplomat, named as Yeshua or<b>Jesus</b>(actual Makudan name: Domeren Erdaz) by a female local whose memory was altered into thinking the diplomat was her child, was sent down to restore order, but was wounded while attempting and then was beamed up back. The project was abandoned later due to the seemingly impossible attempts to advance them, but the huge long-term impact of creating a culture that gradually unified the rest of human civilization through its course of advancement was not found out until now. Humans attempted to keep the events in memory through the creation of a collection of books named the<b>Bible</b>, but compared to the actual events in the Makudan archives, the records are quite inaccurate, with over 45% being fabricated due to human demand of explanations of numerous events within and before the project's timeline. As for the reason how the observation got into the Milky Way galaxy despite the Makudan still being in the Triangulum, data about that was somehow corrupted from the age of the machine carrying the data.<br/><br/>((Possible Common Sense War incoming. Oh boy here we go.))"

The war ended with the destruction of Gliese 581g, and everyone realized what they had done. A doctrine was created, it stated that humans were an inferior species and all beliefs were equal.

I must tell you that no weapons are allowed on the planet, and military uniforms are considered rude to wear in public places there. Should you choose to accept, Dmitri Saveli will be there to mediate.""<br/><br/><b>Seeder Threat</b><br/>AIF space has been cleared of the Seeder invasion fleets, but orders have come in to build excessive defenses in the event of another attack. Among these new defenses will be Orbital Antiparticle Stream Cannon (OASC) emplacements. These will essentially be huge orbital particle accelerators placed around stars that produce antimatter using captured solar material. Once an enemy fleet enters the system, they will fire the antimatter using the accelerator, creating a stream of antimatter headed towards the target at relativistic speeds. Construction ships have already been sent to begin construction of these platforms.<br/><br/><b>ATS <i>Frybar</i>, Transport Assignment</b><br/>Plumes of hot plasma rocketed out of the ship's drive systems as it reached the halfway point, beginning the month long slowdown burn. Normally a warp pulse would be employed for such a routine interplanetary mission, but the properties of the cargo being carried were unknown and a warp pulse might destabilize it. Therefore, subwarp propulsion was being used for the transport between Europa and Mars. However, ten minutes into the burn the Yuanon being carried suddenly changed somehow. It turned into a beautiful cloud of blue light that engulfed a thousand kilometers. The bridge lost all communications with the cargo bay as the ship entered the other universe theorized to exist and provide the Yuanon it's power. The ship's shields were brought up, and inspection drones were launched within the bubble to asses the damage. The ship had been pulled into another universe, but this universe was nothing like the one they knew. There was simply nothing there that the scanners could detect, not even radiation. One of the inspection drones hit the shield on it's way to the cargo bay, identifying that it was unprotected. it took a picture of the damage, and the crew was shocked by it.<br/><br/>The cargo bay was no longer three-dimensional, it was completely and entirely flat. Not like a piece of paper, it was truly two-dimensional. There had been ten people working in it at the time, and whatever death they had could not have been pleasant. The shield was the only thing keeping the ship together, apparently cutting it off from the rest of the alien universe. The Yuanon was off to the left of the ship, and it re-entered it in an attempt to get home. It was expelled fifty kilometers to the right of where the accident occurred, right into the Jupiter-Mars civilian Krasnikov tube. The cargo bay just ceased to exist the exact moment it entered the 'normal' universe, and the fore and aft sections rocketed through the tube and were expelled in a highly elliptical orbit above Mars. The aft section fired multiple towing cables at the fore section, allowing it to pull it towards the target space station. Once an interview with the crew had been completed, international news channels operated by Federation-based networks got a bit of he story. The following is a section of that broadcast.<br/><br/>""A high-security Abh transport was broken in half during a subwarp transport mission in the Sol system! The ship was carrying sensitive research data and objects from Europa to Mars, and one of the sensitive objects caused some sort of anomaly to appear inside the starship. The crew claims that they were transported to an alien universe, what's more, they claim that universe only had two dimensions! They even have a name for this strange universe: Fath, which translates to Plane Space. All the info that has been released about the object that caused all this is that it has been named a 'Yuanon', and is a fourth neutrino 'flavor'. The ten closest inhabited systems to Sol have sent reports stating that clouds of light similar to the one produced by this 'Yuanon' have appeared in their systems as well, apparently having laid dormant for billions of years. Modern shielding technology seems to create a 'space-time bubble' in Plane Space, allowing ships to travel through it unharmed. New updates as situation develops."""

Due to the inhospitable and smoggy conditions of most of the region, he was mostly raised in Gamaria for most of his life. He was shown to be an avid learner, and earned top marks in school; notably in higher maths and language arts. In 2175, he enlisted into the People's Army, and trained to become an officer for the Intraatmospheric Artillery Brigade (IAB, now under complete jurisdiction of the Infantry Brigade). His deadly accuracy and lightning-fast loading crews made him legendary among other Officers. He became a General Officer 1st Class before being moved into the People's Army Long-Range Bombardment Command; controlling the entirety of the IAB as well as other teams responsible for long-range cover. He was briefly moved into Cadet Training Command before finally being put as the Grand Commander of the People's Army in 2095. He led several successful operations and made the PA one of the fiercest military forces in all of Sazkarjhit-controlled space. In 2120, he was deemed Supreme Commander of the Sazkarjhia People's Military.<br/><br/>Personality-wise, Barasmus was known to be a, no pun insisted, loose cannon and would often jump to conclusions. This would change greatly once entering the IAB, but, for the most part, he was rash and made bold and sometimes ludicrous decisions. However, he was known to be skilled and talented, and with childhood training from his grandfather, became a crack shot with a handgun. The People's Army changed him greatly. He entered an intelligent and skilled-yet rowdy and boisterous teenager, and became one of the most legendary and respected officers in Sazkarjhit history.<br/><br/>His relationships vary from person-to-person, he was a close friend of Damwar Suar'kum's before his untimely demise, and often respected his decisions. Reports indicated that it was Lano'dum, however, that executed him atop Mount Karbor in 2148. To Fakeem Suar'kum, Barasmus acts in a fatherly/grandfatherly fashion. He behaves as a mentor, and is less gruff and serious around Fakeem as he is around his superiors. He's known to act in favor of Sazkarjhia, and thus to other races he either lifts them up with praise and kindness, or bores down on them with heavy amounts of disdain. The Domi of the Zonanese he is known to especially dislike, calling them ""crude"" and ""borderline-xenophobic"" based on how they act around and treat Sazkarjhit.<br/><br/>Overall, he is an exceptional soldier and an excellent leader. And will continue to lead forth one of the most powerful militaries in the galaxy with his talent and wisdom.<br/><br/><i>Doctor Sayra Lano'dum, Senior Research Director<br/>Sazkarjhia Archaeological Registry, Northern Karboria Office</i>"

It is clear that the vessel has had a long journey. The ship transmits a message to the Triarian planet, and it appears to be a constantly updating consciousness clone of Fergus McClain. Whatever the message, great care had been taken to send it.<br/>""Greetings, first of all, you have permission to partake in peace talks. Second, I believe your nation wished to speak about a second-generation Draconian you found on an escaping vessel? Sorry for the wait, it's just that the existence of remaining Draconians in Federation space is highly confidential. I wish to begin this discussion by saying how sorry I am for the evils the Draconian Empire committed during the war, but this last Draconian isn't like the others. He was never exposed to the original Draconian culture by Federation personnel, and all interaction he ever had with other Draconians was closely monitored. He had no family to hide him away and teach him of the old ways, and we observed him every second of the day. He has never even been involved in violence aside from his escape from Draco and Colony 257, both times he didn't harm anyone himself.""<br/><br/><b>Project Yuanon</b><br/><span class=""bb-u"">Project Leader [REDACTED], Lab 21</span><br/>""We have mapped the universe known as 'Fath' by the Abh. Every Yuanon in our universe that is an open gateway seems to correspond to one in Fath. We have begun to activate other Yuanon in our space, and each one seems to create a ring of others in surrounding systems. Fath also appears to be a compressed version of our own universe, and the speed of light seems to be much higher.

Shad turned to the Dolphin ""Bring a fleet to Commune, home of the Comu Haches. They will need it""<br/><br/><b>Commune</b><br/><br/>Dusk hit the enormous flying machine that the Empire called their (like always- temporary) capitol. It's name was Commune, like the planet, and it was home to some of the most advanced machinery Zonan had to offer to the world: The Undergrounds, Gult missiles (as their much deadlier relatives, gultra/gultron missiles are too powerful for land wars), the advancement and power of the Elles gem, and all the creations that are made from it. Labs working on the planet have only recently recorded new advancements with the Gem, turning its energy into a weapon, something not mentioned to the public or even the tyrannical Trinity. In fact, the files were hidden in case the team wanted to use them later, stored in a cabinet located in one of the scientists' home.<br/><br/>The peacefulness of the city at the dead of night. Patrols roamed the streets, rounding up any Domi or Bunta Hach that wandered past curfew, and executing them in the back of their trucks. The patrols comprised mainly of Comu Haches, but when a Comu Hach was caught, they were usually returned to their house and fined heavily. They couldn't take any chances with the ""radical Haches"" but the Comus were needed for the more important jobs.<br/><br/>One patrol began to roam the avenue, crossing by skyscrapers and alleyways. The alleys were bombed with a light with it dissapearing not too long after. That's when the noticed an orange flare in the dark blue sky, far more noticeable than the stars displayed. The flare got closer, and the sounds of a roar also could be heard. It was a ship, and it was moving fast.<br/><br/>""Track it"" said the patrol captain.<br/><br/>""Ay, sir. It's heading towards-the capitol building..sir"" said one of the soldiers. The captain opened a channel, and told his commanding officer the problem. Not seconds later, a blast could be heard. The channel began to open with more captains reporting the same issue, and the patrols began to conglomerate towards the capitol building. The ship left the building in a blaze at its head. More ships began raining down, and soon enough the military was scrambling to get fighter jets into the air. Out of the crash ships came insurrectionists, who opened fire at patrol squads that neared them. A Montus ship appeared in the sky, almost knocking some skyscrapers down as it released its own ships onto the planet. The fight jets inside the Montus opened fire on the nearby airfield, and C-crafts swarmed the capitol district like angry wasps.<br/><br/>The fighting continued for a few more hours before the defense mechanisms finally began to work, but by then, the damage was already done. The air stations and air fields had been obliterated, while the capitol district now swarmed with rebels. The capitol was under the control of the rebels: and with it was the Domi president. Televised, one of the rebels, a Domi, senselessly beat the Domi president, as the president continuously called him a mutt. One could hear the rebel say ""One must fall so all may survive! Down with the tyranny! The Saints will show you all the light!""<br/><br/>The Bunta President was the next to be found, but cowardly as he is, he had ordered one of his Grozz guards to shoot him before the Saints found him. His body was dragged back to the capitol building, where his rotting corpse was thrown next to the Domi. Finally, the Comu President. He had escaped the district before the Saints could find him, but he was caught shortly after. He was found hiding down in the Undergrounds, currently abandoned. In the complete darkness, and only stuck with his guards, he was found by a militia of angry Domi criminals (who escaped the rule of the Trinity and hid here), who ripped his left arm and right eye out before the Saints came. They were rounded up, while soldiers that were loyal to the Trinity were executed in front of their eyes. The ones who turned over to the Saints and those who were working with the Saints the entire time were relinquished of their duties with the ZE Trinity.<br/><br/>What remained of the Trinity was tied together and thrown into the Truth Trials chamber. It was televised, with the Domi president being the last one to bare it before killing himself with a gun loaded in the corner (the gun was given after the Saints had enough footage to show to the galaxy and didn't need to televise anymore of it; it went roughly for 35 hours). After that, many soldiers began to change loyalties to the new CPZ Trinity (Hachi states that in times of civil war, the winning side deserves the loyalty so that it may prosper under a new common goal). Some of the Comu soldiers remained the loyalty, and they were executed to send a message to the rest of the soldiers.<br/><br/><b>Colonies 700+</b><br/><br/>The CPZ has counter attacked, releasing gult missiles onto the armor of the ships. While Kambune ships released their own heavy plasma weaponry onto the ships, Gunther class ships opened fire with Drughan artillery, using the most powerful metals they know. Allimone ships cloaked themselves, nearing the enemies ships.<br/><br/><b>OP</b><br/><br/>As the news of the problems at home, the holy relic was rounded and readied to get home when the sight of a new enemy jumped into the fray. The fleet had been warned of these creatures, and took precautions. They tried to sneak their way out of the system, cloaking their Allimone ships (one of them holding the crystal) while the rest of the fleets opened fire on another location. Reyes II remained on his command ship, ready to use the unthinkable if he must."

The other crewmembers walked around the room, some in an almost dreamlike state from the excitement. Just a few years ago, they had been using steam power to travel between continents in a few weeks, now they were about to travel between the galaxies in what was expected to be an instant with an engine that works off of what was once a crazy fringe theory. Front and center in the new group was Lahnha Latayn, someone whose entire species considered a genius. She had been picked to captain the mission, due to apparently inventing everything that made it possible. She had also suggested that the exploratory crew consist of scientist and the best soldiers, saying that it was possible that hostile life could be contacted. Everyone immediately agreed, as there was no doubt in their minds that Lahnha could possibly be wrong.<br/>""Captain, final prep is complete. The negative mass is in position for wormhole generation.

Said Entayta, and the crew found that they could control the tractors, allowing them to move around the bridge.<br/>""Initiate wormjump!""<br/>The ship lurched as the sublight M/AM drive lit up, propelling it forward at 1g of acceleration. The crew was held in place by the tractor beams, which relieved the fears of everyone slamming against the wall at relativistic speeds. A wormhole appeared in front of the ship, a brilliant cloud of blue that engulfed the ship.<br/><br/>Two minutes later, in Equestrian space, a Federation-style wormhole opened. A huge starship came through, bristling with sensor arrays and primitive landing craft. The acceleration tractors on the bridge were deactivated, and the crew began trying to get a visual of the planet that they had just entered orbit above. The moment the sensors officer got a visual, his mouth dropped right open and he screamed at the top of his lungs.<br/>""<i>Akatii! Akatii! Ei Ophr Tleir!

The office nodded to Lahnha, telling her to begin.<br/>""This is Captain Lahnha of the Shuroh International Space Agency, currently commanding the Starship<i>Andal Provektkrei Av</i>.""

Turns out all they needed was a way for the mutations allowing conscious thought to stay alive throughout the generations, as most of the mutations also involved decreased law strength. Being on a Boskop spacecraft was what allowed that. The Ethra'Hirel appear to be quite militaristic, but only to protect themselves and their allies. They have been referred to by the Boskops as ""Extremely loyal"" and ""More Noble than any other""."

They appeared in the middle of a warzone.<br/>""Hide behind the largest vessel."" She ordered, the engines of the ship seemingly complying themselves as they began burning for the IFV McClain. Those best trained in magic projected a shield around the whole ship, almost as strong as a standard AIF plasma-laser shield.

Lahnha had only spoken to Fergus through the conveyance of thoughts and emotions, not the sounds of words. The Federation had switched to speaking Federation Interstellar (A simple language with very few grammar and spelling rules), the crew would have only understood if they had arrived at a time when the military still used English as their primary language. However, it was obvious that the magical abilities of the Equestrians had been dampened. Suddenly, a light on the bridge of the starship shorted out, and a loud crackle was heard as the room heated up intensely, only to be dissipated by the cooling systems. All eyes turned to where the light was, and saw Lahnha holding her arm out towards its former location.<br/><br/>""We still hold power."" She said, lowering her arm. ""We shall assist in this fight. Move us out into the open, launch the fighter squadron and order them to provide point defense! When we're out them, I want everyone in on the effort! Weaken her, if you have any energy left, try to kill her!""<br/>The crew began rushing around the bridge, carrying out her orders. The ship moved out into the open, and five small craft launched out of its hangar bay. They were obviously primitive, armed only with an archaic gunpowder weapon, which would probably jam after two shots. They apparently knew this, and the fighters kept close to the main ship to provide only completely necessary point defense. Then, the magical energy of the entire crew was focused on Retsukuu. Any magic-sensitive creature in the system would be able to feel their power as they unleashed it against Retsukuu.<br/><br/>Elsewhere, on the bridge of the McClain, Fergus stared at the main viewscreen, which was showing an image of the newcomer vessel. Despite having lost his magical powers for the time being, he could somehow sense a single person on it. He whispered something, too quite to make out, it was the name of the one who captained this alien ship. What he saw on the viewscreen wiped away any doubts he had, the Federation style warp ring, the plasma engines, even the fighters used a chassis similar to the standard human one. He had the answers to the question of who crewed this new ship, but it was then replaced by another question: How could he have known without his magical senses?<br/><br/>Whatever the case, he was absolutely convinced that he was right. Everybody on the bridge turned to him, their hands already on the controls that they expected him to order them to press. They were just waiting for the world.<br/>""Take us in, right above the newcomer vessel! Extend our shields around them and transfer all the ultrareflectives they need to have equal defenses!""<br/>""Yes sir!"" Came the unanimous reply, and only one person needed to move their hands. That was the communications officer, whom expected an order to open a channel.<br/>The behemoth of a ship awkwardly moved above the much smaller newcomer vessel, and the blue glow of the standardized Federation plasma-laser shielding extended around the pair. Inside the shield, tiny dots of light maneuvered to cover the hull of the newcomer, and once they were all in place it looked almost exactly like an old Earth Alliance cruiser just after the shielding revolution.<br/>""All power to shields!"" Ordered Fergus. ""They'll take it from here, we just have to watch and make sure they don't get harmed."""

Only through peace and diplomacy can harmony be created. Someday we will join you, or perhaps you will join us. Maybe we'll both join some other alliance.

Then those balls made other balls roll in a similar way, creating a ridiculous looking cascade of metal balls visible through a layer of glass separating the contraption from the outside world. As men and women of five species looked on with their respective viewing organs, those balls rolling along smoothly on the wimple machine known as an inclined plane collided with multiple different levers, which dropped weights down onto old mechanical scales. Shifting the balance, the weights sent the other side of the scales up, causing flaps to open. Laser sensors recorded those openings, and blew off bulkheads protecting the whole compartment from the vacuum of space. The balls, forgotten by the onlookers, were flushed out as the air rapidly evacuated the chamber. A few hit yet more levers, each one of them completing a circuit that caused a computer to be powered up. The computer then ran a program coded using the Spaghetti language, most definitely named for turning your brain into spaghetti. The program caused the computer to electrically flip a lever (Using 200,000 lines of code). That lever sent a single ball rolling, which hit a button on a conventional drink dispenser which did its job perfectly by dispensing coffee into a cup. That cup was then picked up by newly elected CEO Robert McClain, who had been nominated by Dmitri and Fergus mainly because he seemingly held true to the economic values of the humans. He<i>was</i>a McClain after all. The Scots-Irish clan had always held true to the (mostly) Socialist ideals of Fergus McClain.<br/><br/>""Ladies, Gentlemen, those who do not wish to be put into either category. It is my honor to take my place was CEO of the Terran Manufacturing Conglomerate. I promise to bring glory to our company, because we can't make more profit than other companies due to our stu-... stupendous economic system! Now, let me tell you. This job is going to be so much better than my old one. Why? Because this is a manufacturing company, we build things. We're the builders that create things that the thinkers dream up, for use by the doers out there in the field. People like my brother Fergus, fighting for our great nation's allies. Of course, you'd never hear him call himself a doer. He fashions himself as all three at once!""<br/>The room laughed, well, the Ethra'Hirel kind of hissed, but due to neural updates everyone recognized it as nothing more than a unique laugh.<br/>""This contraption that just delivered me coffee represents something. it's not what we're going to do, so don't worry about me being some kind of insane Rube-Goldberg enthusiast. Well, I am, just not the insane bit. Anyways, that contraption represents the current way of doing things. I plan to streamline the process a bit, but also add in some more quality control. Because this coffee tastes like molten metal and diesel fuel. If this coffee was a starship, it would have been destroyed by now, probably by something dumb like a Fath compression accident. The ships built under my plan will be much safer, like coffee that tastes like it didn't go through a decompression incident!"""

The 450 large starships slowed down, and looming in front of them was a large star system. There were several planets--at least nine or ten--orbiting a gargantuan yellow star. Fleetmaster Tin'yum strode over to his senior astrogation officer's computer terminal. The planet they were looking for was the fifth one from the star.<br/><br/>The ships jetted over there until details could be made of it. It was a fairly large earthen planet, with an orange-ish atmosphere. Clouds of various colors swirled around one point, large, blue streaks of lightning jetting across its surface. Below the clouds were rolling seas of blue; water, they hoped. A scientific research vessel, the<i>Beacon</i>, dodged around the fleet and penetrated the atmosphere. From a distance, small probes and other such devices jutted from the craft.<br/><br/><b>Balaski Aerospace, Inc. Shipyard. Kellarowan City, Daramaska Region, Sazkar Major</b><br/>In front of one of the factories laid a massive crowd--workers, soldiers, civilians, all across the board. Before them was a small stage with a wooden pedestal. There was noise and chatter between the folks on the ground before a high-ranking soldier on the stage hushed them with a few shots of his rifle. Striding up to the stage were two Sazkarjhit gentlemen: One was in a soldier's armor, with gold and silver alternating striping across the chestpiece, a rank identifier which only belonged to a Grand Fleetmaster; the commander of the Sazkarjhia Center for Naval Operations and Space Explorations, the People's Navy. He was not wearing a helmet, most likely had a filter in his throat, something that was expensive and only reserved for top officials. He had bright orange, smooth skin, with a yellow pattern running down the sides of his face. His deep black eyes had developed small, white pupils; identifying a Sazkarjhian of age. The other was in formal Sazkarjhit garb: A dark-blue suit, with a small armored vest under, he, too, was not wearing a helmet. He had the same colored skin, with a yellow pattern of bands around his neck. His horns were cropped close to his head, and his eyes, too, had developed small white pupils.<br/><br/>The soldier stepped up to the pedestal, tapping the microphone to test it, creating a loud whine. He breathed in for a minute, and then spoke.<br/><br/>""Good morning to all workers, soldiers, and civilians--Sazkarjhit and Equiis alike. For those who do not know, I am Grand Fleetmaster Daraya Magama'yum, commander of the Sazkarjhia Center for Naval Operations and Space Exploration; Sazkarjhia's navy. Most of you may be wondering why you came here at this hour, and I am more than happy to tell you. The SCNOSE has recently reached demands for a multi-purpose attack and search-and-rescue craft. We are happy to announce that this project has acquired enough funding to go into production...""<br/><br/>A soldier walked up to the stage, carrying a large box in his arms, draped in cloth. He set it on a stand near the pedestal. Fleetmaster Magama'yum stepped back, as the civilian approached the pedestal.<br/><br/>""I am Garyan Balaski'dum, owner and proprietor of Balaski Aerospace, Incorporated. When I took this assignment from SCNOSE High Command, I didn't know what to expect, how to approach it or what to do. But Operation SERPENT has come to fruition.

It was long, with triangular wings towards the end. Four small holes could be seen at the front where magnetic accelerator cannons laid. Towards the middle was a large, box-like bridge with windows and lights. Behind that was a massive, swiveling MAC cannon that could be aimed independently. Smaller missile launchers and plasma throwers were on the sides, and an impressive point-defense network was around the entire ship. At the ship's aft were four engines, two small ones towards the center and two wide ones on the side. On the side was a name identifier in Sazka. ((The Sazkarjhit vernacular))<br/><br/><center><i>BASILISK AS-001</i></center><br/><br/>The ship was impressive, some cheered and some were left agape.<br/><br/>""The hull is almost finished, and will be laid down soon.

The Abh are still saying that it would have been a good idea, and a larger power in the Pact could have made it better than the way the Triarians view it.

There are obviously, of course, benefits and dangers to such power, but an additional danger theorized on this paper could significantly change the views of this state of energy.<br/><br/>In magic-gifted species, the mental capacities have been shown to be significantly increased through the gradual interaction of this energy and the neural cells within the brain. Thus, most species with this certain ability is known to be more technologically advanced than civilizations that are unable to harness magical energies and the like, if the time they have achieved sentience is at least close or equal to each other. Alongside that, since neural cells are one of the main influences in magical development, the symbiotic interaction between thought and power results in a continuously accelerating process of evolution, unknown whether controllable or not.<br/><br/>Further studies reveal that if the day comes that every generation a new higher form of species appear out of evolution which may possibly happen sooner than thought. While initially thought to be good news, it is theorized that there might be a time when sooner or later a certain species could evolve into a god race, as with what happened presumably with Retsukuu, and then two disastrous outcomes would result, ranging in a timeline of less than 200 years to 3 billion:<br/><br/>1. Complete Universal War- God Race A begins a colossal-scale war against God Race B, and possibly many other G.Rs. Depending on the degree of power used, the resulting destruction will end up in the universe becoming a desolate, lifeless place. <br/><br/>2. Magi's Nemesis - If peace is kept, all G.Rs may eventually and inevitably lose hold of their power and release huge amounts of matter, possibly in the absurd yet theoretically likely estimate of dwarf to average-size galaxies, which may end up in generating enough mass to coalesce into a hyperdense object equivalent to a black hole of colossal sizes, which will then suck in all the galaxies in the universe, faster than the universe's expansion rate. <br/><br/>The only options would be either to hope that this report stays as a theory, or completely outlaw and purge all magic within lifeforms known to use it. </i>"

Lone Supreme warships can be spotted throughout several of the AIF planets that had become Seeder folding hubs and ship growing centers, Corvettes flying in formation to launch light-speed torpedoes that would blow a hole in the Seeder ships. While extremely resilient to energy or kinetic weapons, because the weakness isn't armor piercing, or magic. It was just concussive force. The torpedoes, solid titanium-gold alloy with a payload of the heaviest material known led the torpedoes to disintegrate against the hull of the Seeder ships, and crack the almost crystalline hull, which ejected all the inhabitants of the ship into the dead of space, due to a lack of doorways or airlocks of any kind.<br/><br/>And so when most of the hubs were reeling from sudden destructive attacks, the Supremes returned to the temporary base of operations within the Radiation Zone of the Galactic Center.

Neither wore helmets. The armored figure had yellow stripes under his eyes, which had formed large white pupils. The robed Sazkarjhit looked much younger, with three strips moving down from his forehead to his back. The soldier brandished a coilgun pistol in a holster on his side, while the priest-like man carried a heavy, steel five-pointed spear, identical to the one on his robe.<br/><br/>A couple OGVS units broke off from the group and followed them, while they approached the Empress, walking a deliberately slow pace. The spear banged loudly against the ground as the robed one use it like a walking stick. The Praetorians were nervous, and kept their guns pointed. The soldier whispered something in Sazka to the other, who simply nodded and continued to advance. Eventually, they both stopped. The robed Sazkarjhian cleared his throat, and began speaking.<br/><br/>""Certainly, while most think it is suicide, I have come to the meeting given the gravity of the situation.

How many economies are still poor because of it today?"" The Umbrae Populus said as he approached again ""Military"" He read aloud ""'While all member nations may maintain there own militaries there shall be a Pact Military, that consists of the most prestigious soldiers, most advanced weapons, and the best ships that the nations of the Equiis Pact are capable of producing.' You plan to tear away their best soldiers for your precious pact military, in spite of any different ranking system, any cultural problems you just pluck and place simple as that. 'Economy: To help nations better cooperate on economic matters all member nations of the treaty shall maintain free trade policies towards each other. No tariffs on good or materials may be applied, and all citizens of member nations may invest there capital in other nations economies without the interference of the nation.' What about nations this doesn't fit with? What about the poorer nations who joined your pact? You expect me to believe there were none that you would classify as poor or with little industry? This doesn't even imply how you would help them. Fair enough, if they are importing to construct their industry they will recieve better quantity... but they won't be able to drag themselves out without quota's and tarrifs. You think you are helping them but forcing free trade ensures their markets will be swamped by your better produced goods, crushing their attempts at launching an emerging market. It's made to exploit them for what you would term 'Slave labour'. 'Immigration: All citizens of member nations are considering' I think this means considered, not considering 'Equiis Pact citizens, and are allowed to go live and work in other nations as they please. Member nations shall retain open border policies towards other nations in the Pact.' This is completely irrespective of all political, religious or social reasons for denying access to those immigrants. If you came to my planet and demanded that foreigners be allowed access to Ziaro, I would tell you to go gurgle poison and with good reason. Socially, it's a reminder of our cultural past, when we once celebrated our religion around that once sacred area, which would tie in religiously if we were still religious, and part of that culture is that outsiders are not allowed to access it. Politically, just you try to get access to Sector Black Four NP and the likes, the races of the Collective would tell you to hop into a black hole, yet under your treaty none would ever be allowed to do that. Your pact's treaty is flawed, even to an outsider like me with little understanding of the concepts of economy...""

It has also come to my attention that there is not a single reaction to Draconians being present in my entourage. While their blood sings to spill the three main races that wiped their own out, their minds and souls are that of my brothers and sisters. This is not even their tenth body. You see, in 2007 on what was formerly called 'Earth,' a respected scientist named 'Robert Lanza,' a biologist in regenerative medicines, was given the idea of the Theory of Biocentrism. This Theory was first discovered ourselves when we accidentally detained a fragment of an omnipresent being, much greater than any that have shown themselves to you. Because of this, the universe was not first. Life was, and life perceived and created what was around it, the universe as we know it.<br/><br/>The reason Faust exists is not because it slowly came to being, but rather because of a race before it, similar to the Equestrians, though purer, if what we know so far is true. They were great enough to, at the end of their universe, be combined into a single collective entity. Because they were not big or strong enough, however, it took what you perceive as millions of millennium to awake. The Draconian Goddess is not of Draconian form because she was never Draconian, but rather human. That is why Draconian DNA and human DNA is similar, by our understanding.<br/><br/>The way you perceive something is what makes it so. You see science, and you believe it, so you will see it, find it, and know it. We know of Biocentrism, and believe it whole-heartedly, as so few of you will ever do. We are also half-omnipresent being, and half physical being. We are restricted to some physical form, until the body is killed or worn away, and then we can move on to another body. That is immortality, if you didn't know it before. Our mind does not die with our body, regardless, because we know that our mind is not truly tied to our body. <br/><br/>The Equestrian Princesses appear to know a little of this, though more than likely subconsciously, by way of Faust, to keep them immortal. Enough to keep the body immortal, because they would probably disbelieve it if they were told the entire theory, and would wind up dying of old age.<br/><br/>Or you can be scientific, and do it the scientific way and put yourself in a computer chip.""</i><br/><br/>Having finished, the Supreme turned on his heel, or whatever else is there, and returned to their Corvettes, leaving all the Draconian bodyguards on the ground.<br/><br/>As the Corvettes lift off and slowly disappear, the 7 Green-plated light blue-scaled Draconian troopers walked forward and bowed in sync to the remaining people.

I, myself, will request to be a personal bodyguard to AIF President Dimitri."" Then, approaching Dmitri, he bowed, and swore, ""By this body and life, by my comrades' bodies and lives, and by my Commander's body and life will I ensure that no harm comes to you, Dimitri.

Two of the four Triarii proceeded back outside the cave, ready to defend the area from enemy forces if they were detected. The Triarii had played a dangerous game. They had chosen the site of one of the worlds Largest Active Volcanos out of the two possible places to deploy the beacon. Why? This way their energy signatures would be slightly harder to detect, for a start, but secondly so that the enemy couldn't just blow the mountains up.

She took a step backwards and turned to contact her fellow crew members, only to hit something in front of her as she tried to run and stumbled backwards to the floor. Slowly, another odd looking alien appeared and it took a moment for her to realise it was de cloaking, she scrambled backwards but it moved upon her and aimed a strange alien device towards her, before firing a single shot into her face. She screamed as the plasma burnt through her face.<br/>In the next Corridor, another heard her screams and turned the corner to find himself face to face with an alien as it moved it's gun from his killed comrade to him. He turned and bolted off towards the bridge, the alien in hot pursuit. He arrived at the doors to bridge and they opened up to allow him inside... What awaited him was a horrible sight, as the bridge crew lay dead with some of the alien menaces over them. He began to cast a spell but was interupted by a sharp pain in his back, and he fell to the floor, immobilised as the blade pierced his spine. The aliens began to speak with one another in some unknown language, and in the view screens, as he last view, he could see a set of alien vessels appear and approach the vessel to load on the pirated goods.<br/><br/>The Alien Pirates jettisoned the cargo into space and abandoned the Equestrian ship, their ships picking up the cargo that had been dumped into space and gathering as much as they could before escaping, leaving a ghost ship with a dead crew floating in space. Less than ten seconds after they had left the system, the ships self destruct kicked in and obliterated the ship entirely."

For the uninitiated, this reptilian is a carnivorous creature, typically greenish-brown in coloration with blue eyes. It's about 4.5 meters long and weighs in at about 550 kilograms. It has a set of legs that can fold in when swimming, one pair of grasping arms and a smaller pair of feeding arms. It has a few rows of spines along its back that fold when it is not active in hunting. However, what we've noticed about this creature is its jaw. It has very long, knife-like teeth--normally to large to fit in the mouth without causing damage--that <span class=""bb-u"">fold</span> into special cavities in the roof of its mouth. It also has a small duct in the bottom jaw, and through some...unfortunate incidents, we found out that it sprays some sort of highly corrosive liquid; so corrosive, in fact, that we have not been able to analyze its atomic structure since it severely damages anything it touches. We assume that this allows the basilisk to incapacitate its prey before going in for the kill. Its scaly skin is also incredibly resilient. In can almost entirely resist small arms fire, and it wasn't until one of the heavies stationed with us with a small railgun was able to shoot it in the eye, killing it almost instantly. This deceased specimen was the only way we were able to closely study it. <br/><br/>What fascinates us the most is its hide. When we shot at it with a Type 4 rifle, it created a hole and singed it instantly. We can assume that muscular contractions from the skin can tighten it. Therefore, we concluded that if we cannot use the animal's parts for stronger armor and offense, we can use the animal itself. They're difficult to train, and given their volatile behavior and dangerous defensive and offensive mechanisms, they're difficult to get close to. However, with the right training we could see these as very powerful units on the battlefield, and almost nothing will be able to hold them back.<br/><br/>VIABILITY FOR MILITARY RESEARCH: YES</i>"

Barsko was caught in such a violent fight with one of our other male basilisks--Caryu--that two scientists were killed trying to contain him. The acid they jettison doesn't alleviate the situation either.<br/><br/>Speaking of the acid, we found out that it's some extremely corrosive form of sulfuric acid. This doesn't surprise us, as the Western Lowland region of Bellaran has vast underground reserves of sulfur and acid rain follows as a result when it reaches the surface of the marshes. Something in its diet or what it drinks apparently allows it to produce the acid in a strong enough quantity that nearly anything will have a hole in it in minutes' time. Our runt female, however, Timi, cannot produce as much acid, and we've seen a physiological change including sharper teeth and longer grasping claws. <br/><br/>Turning these creatures loose on the battlefield could be dangerous to our own soldiers, as we consider it. The basilisks are large and very heavy, and their aggressive behavior, even while mostly tame, would be a hazard to soldiers. However, this extremely powerful acid concoction they ""spit"" and their nearly-impenetrable hide would make them a valuable asset in combat.<br/><br/>We'll continue to collect data as we find more about these creatures.<br/><br/>Doctor Balaniy Karbam'lum, Senior Research Director<br/>Operation SWAMPRAT, Sazkarjhia Defense Firm Biological R&amp;D Division<br/>04.02.2160</i>"

Some dreamed of peace and prosperity, others of conquest and war. A few dreamed of exploration, of the wonders that would be uncovered in the sky. It was those dreamers that pushed their species forward. Inventing new technologies, taking the reins of nations, helping others, and doings things nobody else would do. About 5 years ago, a great war swept through the tiny sliver of the cosmos which included the entire local group of galaxies. This horrific war began when the Earth Alliance and Equestrian Empire joined forces to do the unthinkable: attack a Draconian planet. The Draconian empire controlled dozens upon dozens of galaxies, and the common belief was that they were invincible. However, those two empires managed to take that first planet with all technology and defenses intact through a bloody battle that spanned the entire system. When the Draconian Empire got news of the attack, they launched an invasion of the entire Milky Way. However, they made the mistake of destroying a civilization the Triarian Collective practically worshiped in the process, and thus they fought with extreme vigor. The combined forces of the Milky Way brought down the Draconian Empire, with the help of species they liberated from their control. Now, the war is over and the dust is settling. The Draconians have been defeated, and are considered extinct, courtesy of the Triarii. The nations occupied by the Draconians are being set free with the Milky Way nations, which now have extremely advanced Draconian technology to reverse-engineer.

Majority always wins. The economy can best be described as pseudo-socialist.<br/>Description of military: The EA ground and air forces are huge, with trillions of soldiers and vehicles in them due to the extreme strength of the Draconian equivalents. Their space forces are one of the largest in known space, also due to the war. Unlike the ground forces, which are now occupied with absolutely nothing, their space forces are constantly exploring, looking for new species to ally with.<br/>History: After the 3rd World war in 2031, the remaining nations of the earth bound together to form the EA (earth alliance). In 2057, at a secret EA facility in Antarctica, the EASS Galileo was launched. The first ship to use the new negative energy warp drive, the Galileo was able to reach star systems up to 200 light-years away from earth within a few short years. This ushered in a new era of space travel, the EA began producing large numbers of starships and by 2123 they controlled every star system withing 200 light-years of earth. The EA had debated moving out further, but every time someone put the notion forward it was rejected, as most of the citizens were afraid of contact with hostile aliens. Finally, in 2133, they were able to get the idea through the paranoia of the citizens, the vote was on the side of expansion, with just enough people voting for it for it to pass. The EA began construction of a faster FTL and by 2137 they were able to reach out further and faster. The EAS Hawking was launched with this new FTL. During the Draconian War, the EA was a major player. They are credited with getting the nations of the Milky Way to ally and build up their military through multiple unorthodox ways, one of which was acting threatening so that the other nations would prepare for war. As they despised the Draconians the most (before the attack on the Aetherii), they now have an insanely large military. However, during the war Earth was destroyed by the Draconians. While this had little actual impact due to most of it's surface already being scorched, it was a great blow to the morale of the EA.<br/><br/>Wiki:<a href=""http://starempiresreboot.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Empires(Reboot)_Wiki"">Void of the Stars Wiki</a><br/>Yes, it's supposed to say Star Empires Reboot, it's the original wiki.<br/><br/>Forum:<a href=""http://voidofthestars.proboards.com/"">Void of the Stars Forum</a><br/><br/>Special thanks to Sukui for making the amazing logo!"

<br/>Name of Nation:Equestrian EmpireSummary of events after thread was moved:The Equestrian Empire was one of the first to suffer major losses during the Draconian War. The first invasion of the Draconian world resulted in the death of Princess Luna, one of the heads of state of the Equestrian Empire. However unlike the destruction of Earth for the EA it only strengthened the resolve of the Equestrians to put a end to the Draconians once and for all. They threw everything they could at the Draconians, often developing new weapons and using there own technology to defeat them. With the destruction of the Aetherii the Triarians came and began helping the Equestrians and EA fight the Draconians. It was at that point that the EA, Equestrians, and Triarians would become the victors of The Great Draconian War, as it had been referred to by many who had seen the destruction it had been causing to the Milky Way Galaxy. Towards the end of the war the Equestrians furthered there expansions into other galaxies, and by its end the Equestrians were using the Draconians technology to bring there galaxies and the Milky Way into a New Golden age, hoping for peace and prosperity in the future.Note to newbies:Equestrians is used to refer to anyone who is apart of the Equestrian Empire, the empire it self consists of multiple races.<br/>

Despite their crude nature, the Orcs are still an intelligent species. Orcs can be described as having green skin, an usually ugly face, large sharp teeth, and an extremely muscular body. Orcs range from six feet to seven feet and their weight can be anywhere from 250 pounds to 350 pounds.<br/><br/>Description of Government: The Orcs have a hereditary monarch, known as the Chieftain, that serves as the main ruler, but the clan overlords form a council that the monarch will take advice from when the monarch makes any major decisions. The only real power that the clan overlords own is the ability to govern their own clans and the ability to take the monarch out of power with a majority of the council of clan overlords voting for the removal of the monarch. The overlords are normally allowed to govern their own clans in their own way, but the monarch has the right to overrule any decisions that the overlords make that the monarch doesn’t agree with. The main role of the monarch is to keep the clans unified and to guide the empire as a whole in times of emergency.<br/><br/>Description of Military: The Orcs are experts in the art of war due to their culture being centered on the creation of fierce warriors. The Orcish military is composed of a very basic ranking and organizational system with clear boundaries on who is who.<br/><br/>The Chieftain – The “commander and chief” so to speak. The Chieftain is the absolute ruler of the military and it is he who makes the final decisions for the entire Orcish military.<br/><br/>The Overlords – The leaders of the clans are not only political leaders, but also military leaders as well. They take their orders from the Chieftain and only the Chieftain. The Overlords are well versed in military tactics and strategies, more so than anyone else except the Chieftain.<br/><br/>The Warlords – The field commanders who lead the grunts and fight with the grunts. They take their orders from the Overlords and they carry them out in the best fashion possible. The Warlords are selected by the Overlords based on their bravery, strength, and intelligence.<br/><br/>The Grunts – The backbone of the Orcish military, the Grunts are the standard soldiers that do the majority of the conventional fighting. They are well-trained in the arts of combat and they follow their leaders’ orders without question.<br/><br/>Ground Forces: The Orcs excel in ground combat which includes combat on planets, inside ships, and other forms of fighting that don’t include the use of airborne vehicles. The Orcish military do have ground vehicles but the majority of the Grunts prefer to use their wide variety of weapons and tools to wreak havoc on the enemy. The senior Grunts make up the majority of those who use the vehicles and other mechanical combat devices due to them being a little weaker in actual combat compared to the new, younger Grunts.<br/><br/>The Roggurk – The standard infantryman is referred to as a “Roggurk”. They are the Grunts that do the ground fighting rather than the combat between ships in space. The typical Roggurk is equipped with body armor covering the whole body, head to toe. The body armor is made of a strong material and has its own shield system which allows for the armor to withstand small arms fire without suffering injury, but should the shields be taken down then the armor would only be effective at stopping shrapnel from harming the user. For the weaponry, the Roggurk is issued a ranged plasma weapon of their choice and an energy axe for close range combat. The axe is the preferred weapon of choice by the Orcs and they will attempt to use it every opportunity they have.<br/><br/>The Dorrak – The combat vehicle preferred by the majority of the Orcs. It is a tank equipped with dual cannons that can fire a wide variety of ammunition for different situations and enemies. The Dorrak is effective against both ground and air vehicles due to the advanced nature of its targeting systems and the power that the cannons unleash. It has strong armor that can withstand small arms fire as well as most anti-armor infantry equipped weapons. Its weak spot is located all on the top side of it making it vulnerable to air vehicles.<br/><br/>The Komarod – The armored personnel carrier used to transfer Orc troops when the drop ships are unavailable. The Komarod is equipped with a small cannon to provide covering fire for any infantry units that may be entering or exiting the vehicle. It has decent armor that protects it from small arms fire, but an anti-armor weapon should be able to punch a hole through it should it hit the right spot. The Komarod is able to carry eight Orcs plus the driver and gunner making it a total of ten Orcs including weapons and supplies.<br/><br/>The Mog – The command vehicle used by the Overlords and the Warlords to communicate with each other and their troops. It is a well armored vehicle with no armaments with the sole purpose of it to keep the leaders in a safe, mobile location that they can give and receive orders from. The armor is able to withstand small arms fire, anti-armor infantry equipped weapons, and air vehicles need to hit the command vehicle with a lot of ordnance in order to destroy it.<br/><br/>Space Forces: The Orcs have a large number of ships with many good qualities and a few bad ones as well. The Orcish navy is composed of ships with excellent armor and shielding that is capable of taking an enormous amount of beating while still being able to function a hundred percent properly, however, the ships only have mediocre weaponry that isn’t too powerful, but it is accurate and hits what it means to hit. The weaponry is able to take out frigates or smaller ships with less armor and shielding with relative ease, but anything stronger is hard to destroy. To make up for the weak weaponry, the Orcs have become experts in the boarding of ships and the combat that goes on within them. Orcish ships also have only mediocre engines that can’t go as fast as other races, but their slipspace drives enable them to travel extremely fast to certain locations, nevertheless, the Orcs are still slow in battle and slipspace drives don’t change that.<br/><br/>Gulrok Drop Ship – The Gulrok is a drop ship used to transport troops, supplies, and vehicles in atmosphere, but it is also still functional in space so it can be used to board ships by using the hangar area as the entry point. It is swift and agile with armor, but only minor shields that make no real difference except for when small arms fire does no damage to it. The Gulrok can carry 16 fully geared Orcs and a single vehicle or supplies. It is armed with a nose mounted plasma cannon with the intent of it being used as support fire for ground troops.<br/><br/>Buzga Boarding Ship – The Buzga is a swift and agile troop carrier used to board enemy vessels. It works by attaching to the enemy ship from the outside then burning a hole into the interior of the ship where the Orcs can enter the ship. The Buzga usually creates an entry point in the weak points of the ship such as exterior windows. The boarding ship has just enough armor and shielding to survive a few hits from various fighters and turrets until its troops are deployed within the enemy ship. It has no armaments whatsoever as its main goal is to get the troops in and not to engage the enemy.<br/><br/>Thuldur Fighter – The Thuldur is a swift, maneuverable, and small fighter used for both space combat and in atmosphere combat. It has armor and shielding capable of withstanding a decent amount of punishment from enemy fighters. The Thuldur is equipped with forward firing plasma cannons and several ship to ship missiles for use on other fighters.<br/><br/>Agronak-Class Light Frigate – The Agronak is a troop carrier and is used to hover and/or land in atmosphere to deploy troops on the ground. The frigate is armed with mostly plasma based weaponry with the exception of its nuclear missiles and Ludan Missile pods, which are used to deal with unshielded foes in space or on the ground.<br/><br/>Gomoku-Class Heavy Frigate – The Gomoku is a vessel used for fleet support and is meant to engage in ship to ship battles. The frigate is armed with mostly plasma based weaponry with the exception of its nuclear missiles and Ludan Missile pods, and the heavy frigate contains a weaker version of the energy projector used on other larger ships. The weaker version of the energy projector has reduced range, less powerful beam, and isn’t able to stay on for very long.<br/><br/>Zugrad-Class Destroyer – The Zugrad is a warship used to support larger ships in a fleet with its larger array of weaponry than the frigates. The destroyer is armed with once again plasma based weaponry in the form of turrets, nuclear missiles, and Ludan Missile pods. The destroyer has a slightly stronger energy projector than the Gomoku, but it is still weak compared to the larger ships such as the cruisers. The armor on the Zugrad is much more compared to the frigates due to the fact that the destroyers were meant to face and destroy the enemy.<br/><br/>Zunhurtz-Class Light Cruiser – The Zunhurtz is a toned down version of the Gromagash in both size and weaponry. The Zunhurtz has the plasma turrets, nuclear missiles, Ludan Missile pods, and an energy projector weaker than those found on a Gromagash. The light cruiser can serve as a flagship in smaller groups of ships, but the heavy cruiser is the preferred flagship by most fleets as it is more powerful.<br/><br/>Gromagash-Class Heavy Cruiser – The Gromagash is a ship capable of many different roles both on and off the battlefield with the roles ranging from being a flag ship to a troop carrier to being the escort of a larger ship. Despite its many uses, all Gromagashs have the same armaments with having plasma turrets, Ludan Missile pods, and a powerful energy projector. The armor and shielding is quite strong on this vessel as it is used commonly in naval engagements.<br/><br/>Thulkash-Class Carrier – The Thulkash is a troop, supplies, and fighter carrier that is a necessity in planetary invasions as well as large naval engagements where the mass deployment of fighters is necessary to combat the enemy. The carrier has no armaments except for Ludan Missile pods and a weak energy projector which is really only used as a last resort. It has strong armor and shielding as a good defense is really the only offense in this situation.<br/><br/>Grinaz-Class Super Carrier – The Grinaz is basically a larger version of the Thulkash that is able to carry more troops, supplies, and fighters. It is also able to carry more Ludan Missile pods and its energy projector is stronger. The armor and shielding is also much stronger than the Thulkash.<br/><br/>History: The Orcs are a race whose history started roughly 950,000 years ago on the planet of Brukkash in the Garnosh Galaxy not too far away from the Milky Way Galaxy. The Orcs were created in a lab by an intelligent race that is only known by the majority of Orcs as “the Kamurs”. The Kamurs were an advanced race with space capabilities, like the modern-day USA in real life. The Orcs were a special project of the Kamurs in an effort to create a superior fighting force that would be capable of obliterating their enemies. The Kamurs did succeed in creating that force, but after a few hundred years, the Orcs became too powerful and too smart for the Kamurs to handle which then led to the Orcs breaking out of the lab and wreaking havoc on the Kamur society. The Orcs quickly took over Brukkash and annihilated the entire Kamur race using their superior intelligence and strength. The Orcs quickly found out how to reproduce using the information that the Kamur lab rats had recorded, and this caused the boom in the population of Orcs on Brukkash. Clans were able to form due to the increased population and development of the social side of Orcs. These clans were both beneficial and detrimental to the Orc race. The Orcs were able to advance their technology faster as those within the clan worked together to achieve things quicker, however, the clans divided the Orcs up and created separate groups which conflicted with each other. The clans fought amongst each other for a few hundred thousand years and all the while technology was still advancing. During those few hundred thousand years of fighting, true space technology was created that enabled nearby planets to be colonized. The major clans moved out of Brukkash and to their own separate planets which halted fighting somewhat, as the Orcs still continued to fight amongst each other whenever they came in contact with one another clan. The fighting continued until a great overlord arose from the Zurosh clan, a powerful clan that was the center of conflict most of the time. Shagul, the overlord of the Zurosh clan, was a wise overlord who ended all conflicts between the clans through negotiations based on logic and reasoning. The powerful, major clans decided to form a pact that stopped the fighting that had existed for so long. With peace restored to the Orc race, significant technological accomplishments were achieved due to the team work that was possible thanks to Shagul. This pact advanced itself to an official form of government for the entire Orc race which the clan overlords in the pact decided, and it is still the current form of government in use today ((See Description of Government)). The Orc race now had an even more organized society which enabled them to do great things such as creating a fierce empire that spans over one million planets located in the Garnosh Galaxy. This conquest of over one million planets took them until now to do. The current Chieftain requested that a new galaxy be discovered in order to expand the empire, and he has assigned an extremely large colonial fleet to find it then colonize it."

They were not powerful, and were quickly over-run and taken control of. They also held amazingly powerful metals, such as Dragun (A metal found in their worlds, which are far more powerful than metals the Haches used to have, possibly more powerful than other empires' ships). *Note* GarbageMan, the guy that made this empire, told me to destroy his empire on skype so he could restart a more powerful civ. However, the public was outraged from the attack. This led to a new Trinity to topple the original (Which is a legal issue if the majority of the public feels that the original trinity is not fit for leading). The new Trinity led the Empire into an age of expansion and research. Allying with the Equestrian Empire, the Haches used the human method of ""selective borrowing"", which allowed the Haches to research and produce better shielding, weaponry, and other significant powers. The Empire expanded their colonial system from 15 all the way to over 500 in such a short time, which vastly drained their economy and resources. The newer 400 are highly undeveloped, and will take a long time for the economy to be able to develop them into powerful money makers. The original 15 are all official planetary states of the Empire: Commune, Bunn, Domu, Renn, New Monstrude, New Gao, Allaegrae, Kamona, Callusin, Pollup, Grune, Allimone, Allimore, Spensor, and finally Reach. With the Empire in vast debt, the newer colonies suffer shortages from food, to basic supplies. This has led to rebellions within the newer colonies, and the unrest will only continue unless the Empire can find newer resources to help the situation."

<br/><br/>The yul—also known as yukanians—are a sentient species of fierce yet petite bipedal humanoids that have a strong facial resemblance to that of an Earth-native cave bat and a city-dwelling rat. They hail from Yuku-Yaren, a world slightly more massive than Earth that is known for its desert surface and its high levels of radiation.<br/><br/><img src=""http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/04/rats.jpg""/> <br/><br/>Yul do not live very long compared to other races. Low life expectancy is owed to the yul's robust metabolism, which is what gives their bodies the power to move about so quickly, though it also causes them to perceive time at a much faster rate than the other species of the galaxy. To the average yukanian (especially those that lack a formal education), most intelligent species are slow, dull and dimwitted, as their movements are processed as sluggish and restrained for seemingly no good reason.at all. Their warped perception of time and excited metabolic rate is perhaps the main reasons behind why yukanians are so difficult to apprehend or hit during a prolonged chase or a melee.<br/><br/>Yul can sense vibration within the ground using the paws of their feet, which made them exceptionally difficult to sneak up on during their race's early days on Yuku-Yaren. This physical feature is still present to this day, though the movement of millions of yukanian bodies and the clunking of vast subterranean networks of machinery within a dissident citadel makes the usability of this trait questionable at best and downright impossible at worse. <br/><br/>Using their whiskers, yul lay claim to an elevated sense of environmental direction, as the flow and direction of breezes and wind currents tells them where objects--like buildings, rocks or chairs--are stationed at. When moving about at high or low speeds, this talent unconsciously comes into play to great effect, enabling a yukanian to expertly navigate their surroundings.<br/><br/>Yuku-Yaren is a radioactive wasteland that experiences a continuous flow of unusually high (and exceptionally deadly) radiation levels that make life on its surface unreasonably cruel and harsh. Its sickly state is principally owed to the rather weedy condition of its electromagnetic field and the immediacy of Yuku-Yaren to its adolescent parent star, Kul-Eh.<br/><br/>Regardless, the yul have long since adapted to their homeworld’s inhospitable conditions, with their species possessing the capacity to endure roughly 1,000 Greys worth of radiation before the yukanian form begins to yield to the devastating effects of radiation sickness. Much of this radioresistance is indebted to the sheer sophisticated workings of the yul immune system, which has evolved to undergo a biomechanically-induced form of immunotherapy that allows it to dynamically study, adapt to and finally destroy invading bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells with alarming efficiency and speed. <br/><br/>When sufficiently high levels of environmental radioactivity are detected, hormones are hurriedly dispatched throughout the confines of the body, resulting in the halting of cellular mitosis and cell production, while multi-domain matrix glycoproteins are prevented from binding to their specific cell surface receptors. This forestalls the conception of neoplasms and other anomalous growths, and makes yukanian cells virtually immune to the deliberating effects of radiation. <br/><br/>During the early periods of their race, the yul found themselves quickly forced into a ‘prey species’ role, which saw them regularly attacked by larger, stronger and faster animals that viewed them as an easy meal. Initially, the yul defied aggressors by using their own innate cunning and their unique aptitude for regeneration (which enabled them to sacrifice an arm or a leg in order to preserve the greater ‘mass' in the event that a beast managed to get a firm grasp on its yukanian victim). <br/><br/>However, when it proved that mere smarts and the use of stem cells were not a substitute for a hardened physiology, the yul slowly underwent changes to their cardiovascular, skeletal and muscular systems that gifted them with fantastic speed, hypermobility and unparalleled nimbleness. The average yukanian can sprint at a speed of just over forty-five miles per hour—a clear result of the dense bundle of potent and tightly-woven muscle fibers and the generous length of the Achilles tendon in the yukanian leg—which allowed them to outpace and outmaneuver the larger beasts of Yuku-Yaren with astounding results. <br/><br/>Although sizable numbers of the the yul species still felt death's unrelenting embrace by the hands of their larger adversaries, their species saw substantial improvement in its overall population count, with the advent of underground farms, advancements in early subterranean digging technology and increased unification among the multitude of yukanian tribes further bolstering their total numbers.<br/><br/>Over time, the greater majority of the yul species migrated to Yuku-Yaren’s mountains regions, which provided hiding places (such as small crevices and caves) that could be used to deter the malicious intentions of the Wasteland World's voracious carnivores and the savage flesh-searing punishment that the daylight brought periodic basis. <br/><br/>The ledges and peeks of the area--which were easily navigated using powerful jumps, leaps and hops--gave the yul useful defensible positions from which they could employ ranged weaponry to drive away, kill or hunt prowling predatory creatures from. In some cases, early obsidian weapons were used to horrifying effect by swarms of yul warriors, who fell upon the backs of a titanic monster to slash and cut their way deep into its flesh.<br/><br/>Yul eyesight is rated for performing well at night, as the extreme heat of Yuku-Yaren eventually forced many of its creatures to flee the tyranny of the day when foraging or hunting needed to be done. The eyes of a yukanian are large and situated near the sides of the head, giving them an increased field of vision, while the yul neck allows the head to rotate 180 degrees (which was a trait developed so as to allow the yukanians to spot predators).<br/><br/>Communication between two yul is performed using a series of complex subsonic noises and spoken words that are combined with a dash of simplistic body language which comprises hand, head, shoulder, leg, and tail motions. Unlike most other races, yul are capable of exchanging a frightening amount of information in a short amount of time using varied pitches, tones and sound wavelengths.<br/
